Saving the river By JOLENE OGLE HAVE we loved the Noosa River to death? That’s the question posed by Noosa Residents and Ratepayers president Brian Stockwell as he leads a campaign to address issues threatening Noosa’s most famous asset. Mr Stockwell will chair a community forum tonight (Thursday) at the Noosa Boathouse Restaurant from 6.15pm. The main focus will be the future of the Noosa River, what is happening with the boats on the river and what action council and the State Government are taking to ensure the health of the waterways. Mr Stockwell said he believed the Noosa River could be “saved” so long as the community continued to play an active part in its management. “Our aim for the forum is to get renewed community momentum in a campaign calling on government at all levels to take integrated management action to protect the

river’s character and integrity,” he said. Mr Stockwell said representatives from all key community and industry groups looking after the health, safety, recreational and economic opportunities in and around the river would attend the forum. The community forum comes as Noosa Council confirms the Noosa River will be the second topic for the Community Jury to consider. “Hopefully (the forum) will provide context for council’s recently announced (community) jury on the topic,” Mr Stockwell said. “The jury will no doubt look at council’s role in river management, but our forum will look at what action we want all levels of government and community to get involved in now – not six months down the track.” Former Noosa councillor and local business owner Bob Jarvis has also joined the fight for Noosa River launching a publication named The Noosa River, which he

says is the result of locals calling for action. “I have been contacted over the past 14 months by a large number of locals who are unhappy with the direction Noosa appears to be heading and the apparent lack of democracy, forward planning and opportunities for our community into the future,” Mr Jarvis said in the publication’s introduction. In the first edition of the publication, among other issues, Mr Jarvis said The Noosa River paper would “advocate for the Noosa River”. “The Noosa River is the spine of Noosa and is important for conservation, scenic quality and provides jobs ... it is a sustainable resource,” he said. “We will advocate for a sustainable future for our river for all sectors of Noosa.” The community forum will be held tonight at the Boathouse Noosa Restaurant, Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, from 6.15pm. All interested community members are welcome to attend, but numbers are limited.

Digital Baxter boost

Contents

live today

NOOSA’S digital entrepreneurs are about to get a boost of energy, optimism and wisdom from Steve Baxter, investor, entrepreneur and ‘shark’ on Channel Ten’s Shark Tank Australia. Steve is the guest of honour at an upcoming digital entrepreneurs networking night at Noosa Boardroom in September. Co-hosts Noosa Council and Noosa Boardroom asked Steve Baxter, one of Australia’s most successful tech entrepreneurs and an active investor and mentor to start-ups, to share some of his fearless advice with local entrepreneurs. Noosa Council CEO Brett de Chastel said Noosa had been quietly building its capacity in the digital economy and attracting digital entrepreneurs, start-ups and “barefoot executives” who can base themselves from anywhere. “These knowledge sector businesses are a great fit with Noosa’s high-value, low-impact approach to economic development,” he said. “As a champion for regional Queensland and a passionate mentor with a keen interest in start-ups that have significant global potential, Steve Baxter will no doubt have plenty of advice to share with our local entrepreneurs.” Noosa Boardroom co-owner Anne Lawrence said Steve Baxter’s visit was part of a broader ongoing program to foster innovation and

support start-up businesses in the community. “As far back as 2006 when we started our business centre, a variety of Noosa business leaders partnered with Noosa Council and identified the knowledge economy as a key priority for the region,” Anne said. “Working with other businesses and adapting to new technologies and trends is critical to business survival, we ourselves adapted and created an open space co-working environment to cater for the new kind of digital entrepreneur.” With world-class beaches and a lifestyle the envy of many, it is no wonder digital entrepreneurs who can work from anywhere end up choosing to come to Noosa, which is key to furthering economic prosperity in the region. “According to Brisbane 2022, New World City Action Plan, technology-based jobs have a larger multiplier effect than jobs in any other sector. It’s been found that for each new position filled in the sector, five additional jobs are created in other sectors,” Anne said. The Digital Entrepreneurs Networking night is also supported by RDA Sunshine Coast as part of the Digital Sunshine Coast initiative and will be held on Tuesday 1 September. Tickets for the event are limited and are available by visiting www.noosaboardroom.com.au/event.

’Concrete cancer’ repairs to bridge

focus on

By JOLENE OGLE

Tewantin

NOOSA Council has awarded a $2.4 million contract to an industry leader to prevent the failure of one of Noosa’s most used bridges. After numerous delays, the Munna Point Bridge will finally be rid of the ‘concrete cancer’ that is threatening the structure when Marine and Civil Maintenance Pty Ltd begin repairs later this year. Planning and Infrastructure Project manager Adam Britton said the project was in “safe hands” with Marine and Civil Maintenance Pty Ltd who are industry leaders in the rehabilitation of concrete structures within marine environments. “They’ve undertaken work on many bridge rehabilitation projects for councils and state governments,” he said. The project will address the concrete cancer, strengthen and protect the bridge and is expected to extend its life by 50 years.

Munna Point Bridge will have life-saving surgery to remove ‘concrete cancer’ with works expected to start at the end of this year. The work is expected to take six months, plus a two month design process, and council is working with the contractor and Maritime Safety Queensland to ensure minimal disruptions to traffic and vessels.

Marine and Civil Maintenance Pty Ltd won the contract over 12 other tenders, some of which are believed to have been as high as $5.5 million and $6.7 million. In a report to the Planning and Infrastructure committee on 31

March, three other bridges in the Noosa Shire were also marked for repairs; Sheraton, Witta Circle and Doonella bridges. The report said all bridges were constructed at a similar time and are “showing similar signs of concrete cancer and (are) expected to require rehabilitation in coming years”. Noosa Council Planning and Infrastructure director Martin Drydale said council had an inspection program for all of the shire’s bridges and any issues identified would be “put forward for consideration as part of council’s ongoing capital program”. “Recent testing has confirmed that the other concrete bridges are in better shape than the Munna Point Bridge,” he said. “But part of this year’s $200,000 bridge replacement budget allocation may assist in preparing designs for future rehabilitation work on these bridges.”

Probe into dumped rubbish By JOLENE OGLE THE council has launched an investigation into the tonnes of rubbish that has been dumped in what appears to be a water catchment zone on a Federal property. Noosa Today last week received photos of dumping at a property on Middle Creek Road, which a council spokesperson confirmed was the subject of an investigation. The photos show piles of rubbish ranging from old fridges to gym equipment and car bodies, plus household rubbish such as bottles and cans strewn in a gully on the property. A resident who lives near the property, and asked to remain anonymous, said they were worried about the environmental impacts of the rubbish lying in a catchment zone. “When it rains heavily, the water runs through the rubbish, into a dam and then when that overflows it runs into Middle Creek, which runs through a number of local properties and is a water source for animals,” the resident said. “It’s concerning when there are old fridges in there, car bodies full of rust and old couches made with materials containing petrochemicals.” The resident said the dumping seems to have been taking place for several years and has built up over time. “There seems to have been a re-

cent dumping with new household waste on top of the already massive pile,” they said. “It’s frustrating because some of the rubbish is cans and bottles and can easily go in the normal bin. "We have the same bin collection as all Noosa shire residents.” The resident said they hoped for a positive outcome from Noosa Council’s investigation.

Above: Some of the rubbish dumped on the Middle Creek Road property. Left: A range of household rubbish, plus car bodies and gym equipment is among the dumped items.

Council starts searching for answers on dumping such as garden clippings and food scraps. “The 3300 residents who’ve taken up the optional garden waste service are diverting around 1600 tonnes of organic waste from landfill each year. “They should be applauded but we need to go further,” Mr Schafer said. Noosa Mayor Noel Playford said the recommendations of Noosa’s inaugural community jury - a first for a Queensland council - will help Noosa develop the right solution and avoid costly mistakes. “The jury has spent five months examining the complex topic, consulting with experts in the field to determine how we best reduce the amount of organic waste we’re landfilling,” he said. “I am sure other councils too will be eager to read what our community jury has to say.” The community jury will deliver its recommendations later this month.

The amount of waste generated by a typical residence each year.

NOOSA is dumping more than 11,000 tonnes of organic waste in landfill annually, swallowing up space and producing 70 per cent of the council’s total annual greenhouse gas emissions, according to Noosa Council waste management. In a statement to the media the council said it is a situation that can’t continue for space, financial and environmental reasons and Noosa’s first community jury could soon deliver a solution. Noosa Council waste manager Wayne Schafer said the council is currently burying 1900 truckloads of material annually that could instead be composted to reduce landfill, slash emissions and provide a useful resource. “If you lined the 1900 trucks up bumper to bumper they’d stretch from Tewantin to Cooroy,” he said. Each week almost half the contents of a typical household’s wheelie bin is compostable organic waste

Cafe worker puts bite on cop By JOLENE OGLE A LOCAL cafe worker pleaded guilty in Noosa Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday to biting a police officer during a routine traffic stop late last year. Verica Ilic, 27, pleaded guilty to one count of serious assault, plus one count of obstructing police and two counts of driving unlicensed. The court heard Ilic was pulled over on 4 December last year and when asked to produce her licence became aggressive towards police. Ilic was arrested and handcuffed and when she was taken to the police vehicle she bit the arresting officer on the left wrist, breaking the skin and drawing blood. Four days later, Ilic was again

pulled over and charged with unlicensed driving. Defence lawyer Chelsea Emery said while Ilic was “very angry and hostile” towards police, her client was convinced the handcuffs were going to break her wrist. Ms Emery said, in the audio tape taken at the time of the event, Ilic can be heard crying out in pain “10 to 12 times” after being handcuffed. “She felt something serious was going to happen,” Ms Emery said. Ms Emery said Ilic now realised, “in the cold light of day”, that police have procedures to ensure no damage or injury is inflicted during handcuffing, but was acting out of pain at the time. Police Prosecutor Sergeant Melissa

Campbell said police officers deserved to go to work without the risk of being bitten. “It’s a tough enough job as it is,” she said. The court heard this wasn’t the first time the victim had been attacked in this way, with a previous bite resulting in a 12-month wait for disease testing and a further eight months off work due to the emotional impact of the event. Ilic was sentenced to nine months’ jail, wholly suspended for 18 months, and was fined $500 for each of the unlicensed driving offences. Ilic will also pay $1500 compensation to the vicitim, who was cleared of any transmittable diseases.

Home and shed lost in fire A HOME owner in Doonan has lost everything after a fire ripped through his property on Tuesday 14 July, destroying his home and shed. A Fire and Emergency Services spokesperson said eight crews were called to the property on EumundiNoosa Road in Doonan just before 1.30pm.

Thirty firefighters were on hand to fight the fire, which was under control by 2.10pm, and while everyone was safe the home and shed suffered significant damage. Investigations crews returned to the site on Wednesday morning to determine the cause of the fire.

Fire crews were called to a house fire in Doonan on Tuesday.

Members urged to speak CCIQ Noosa is calling for members to have their say on the Noosa Civic Shopping Centre expansion, with president Sarah Fisher concerned about the impact on local business. In a letter to members, Ms Fisher said that if the development was to proceed as proposed, it may have “significant impact on local retailers and current business clusters". “Secondly, it may not be the best business use of the respective parcel of land. “Thirdly, the degree to which the proposal complies with the current planning scheme for that land should also be considered,” she said. Ms Fisher is urging Chamber of Commerce members to have their say on this “important public issue” to help CCIQ Noosa decide on how to move forward. “CCIQ Noosa has already undertaken independent town planning advice on this matter,” Ms Fisher said. Noosa Council is currently assessing the Noosa Civic development application that includes about 70 new tenancies including two supermarkets and a discount department store, which is rumoured to be Target, which could see the closure of Target Country in Noosa Junction. The application documents, plans and public submissions can be accessed online at the council’s planning online website or by visiting www.noosa.qld.gov.au. Public submissions can be lodged until 30 July and CCIQ Noosa members can access the feedback survey via www.surveymonkey. com/s/QHTKB37.

Peter Williams, Simon Sauer, Anton Mogg and Ken Edwards.

Warrior mates make their mark By RON LANE THE recent visit to Noosa by a group of 10 disabled British servicemen and 10 Australian servicemen was definitely a feather in the cap for organiser Donald McKill and his backup team. Donald, himself a former member of the British Royal Marines and now living in Noosa, organised the visit through the Queensland based Mates 4 Mates. Following a welcome dinner hosted by the Noosa Surf Club then a meet and greet with lifesaving members, a fund-raising day was held at

the Noosa Springs Golf Club. After the game, a social evening courtesy of the golf club was held and auctions were conducted. As a result, last week at a luncheon held at the Noosa Surf Club a cheque for almost $8000 was handed to the Queensland CEO of Mates 4 Mates Simon Sauer. Representing Donald McKill, Mates representatives Peter Williams and Ken Edwards ably supported by surf club manager Anton Mogg, conducted the hand over. Receiving the donation, Simon said: “Thank you for this but above all else, thank you

and all involved for the great functions and in particular the hand of friendship extended to our servicemen. I know how much this has meant to both our British guests and our own people”. Being an ex-serviceman with 26 years in the Royal Australian Air Force, it was obvious that his thanks were indeed very sincere. “These funds will go towards helping us in our work with the physical, mental challenges, and rehabilitations required getting the veterans back in the work force. Once again our sincere thanks.”

Unblinking eyes on the beat By JOLENE OGLE LOCALS and visitors can feel a little safer heading out at night after three new security cameras were installed on Hastings Street last week. Police Inspector for the Northern Patrol Jon Lewis said the new cameras were installed to “fill” previous blind spots of other cameras on the street. “The bulk of the taxi rank, the main area in front (of the Police Beat building) and the pathway along Rococo’s are now covered,” he said. “They give a good and more complete coverage of areas.” Insp Lewis said the three cameras were installed on the Police Beat due to the building’s location. “The reality is, the Police Beat has been located in a high traffic area and we have the taxi rank nearby and a number of late-night licence premises in the area,” he said. Noosa Councillor Joe Jurisevic said the proposal for the cameras was put forward by the Hasting Street Association to improve the security in the area. “It’s not that we have a larger number of incidents here (Hastings Street), but it creates a deterrent and gives police that opportunity to deal with those (who offend),” he said. “It’s an added sense of security. With violence on the increase across areas, people are more aware and are taking that extra bit of protection. I think if

Noosa Councillor Joe Jurisevic with Noosa police Inspector Jon Lewis and Noosa Heads Police Beat Officer-in-Charge Senior Constable Pierre Senekal. Pictures: KARINA MAY we can add that extra piece of protection for the tourists that come to the area, they’ll feel safe.” The cameras are part of an ongoing partnership between the police and Noosa Council with Noosa Heads Police Beat Officer-in-Charge Senior Constable Pierre Senekal working to ensure the famous tourist strip is well covered. Insp Lewis said the installation of the cameras wasn’t sparked by a particular incident, but is part of an evolving

process between the police and the council in working to identify areas of security that can be improved. “The cameras serve a couple of purposes including having a deterrent effect,” Insp Lewis said. “We like to think if people know cameras are around then potential offenders are less likely to (offend). But, the reality is, at 3 o’clock in the morning and someone is under the influence or other intoxicating drugs, they may not be considering if there

RE O P PI NG C E N T Woolworths ............................. 5442 4222

are cameras in the area. “So, in that event, we use cameras to assist us in identifying offenders, as well as locating and prosecuting them. “And, overall, they’re designed to improve the overall feeling of security for the members of the community, our locals as well as our tourists in the area, who will feel safe knowing there is the camera aspect.” Insp Lewis said more cameras may be possible along Hastings Street if more blind spots were identified.

Police Inspector Jon Lewis said the three new cameras are part of an ongoing effort to improve the safety of Noosa.

Games curtains with a bang

Sad end for stranded whale calf on beach QUEENSLAND Parks and Wildlife has confirmed that a humpback whale calf that was stranded on Fraser Island has been euthanased. QPWS principal ranger Ross Belcher said a member of the public range 1300 ANIMAL to report the stranding between Hook Point and Eurong on Wednesdy 8 July. “Rangers went to the site and found a newborn calf about three metres long and no adult whale in the area offshore,” Mr Belcher said.

“We sought expert veterinary advice, and in the interests of the animal’s welfare, euthanasia was the best outcome. The animal will be buried on the island.” QPWS said traditional owners were advised. “The humpback population has been increasing, and around 20,000 will migrate along the east coast this season. Unfortunately strandings do occur, for many reasons,” Mr Belcher said.

BENNY PIKE

MY latest sporting adventure is drawing to a close with the highly anticipated closing ceremony of the Pacific Games on Saturday night. Organisers have publicly said ‘it will be better than the opening’. That’s a big statement, for those who watched the opening on NITV. There must be something special planned, to pull down the curtain of what has been an enormous success and a credit to the Papua New Guinean Government and Games organisers. Prime Minister Peter O’Neil has constantly trumpeted the Games would be a success and stressed the venues and legacy are here forever. I came over here to commentate on outrigger, triathlon and boxing, only to learn one day before kickoff I also had the swimming. The aquatic competition was conducted in a brand new $150 million pool, and despite being the first ever time, 38 new Pacific Games records were set. French Olympian Lara Grangeon quickly set the tempo on her way to 11 gold medals and qualify for next month’s World Championships in Russia. This mermaid, who wore a technicolour costume each night, enchanted the screaming crowd each time she was interviewed at her races. But the biggest cheer was saved for the local Ryan Pini who mesmerized everyone on his way to five records and seven gold medals. The 33-year-old Brisbane based super fish came out of retirement to help his country, and he certainly didn’t let anyone down. I think his biggest moment was his comefrom-behind win in the newly created 4 x 50 metre mixed medley relay. Giving the Fijian’s a 10-metre start on the last leg, he quickly caught up and touched out 35-year-old Olympian Caroline Puamau in a finish that had everyone, including me on their feet. It won’t surprise me, Ryan should carry his country’s flag on Saturday night. Just like the Gold Coast in three years’ time, the venues and local performances on and off the track will leave indelible memories. I am sure a lot of the Pacific Islands Commonwealth nations will use these facilities on their way to the Gold Coast. I am delighted that the new look Coast Commonwealth games taskforce has been widened to include Noosa. It’s important that we promote all our venues and push any opportunity to get teams/ countries to come here. Both Noosa and Sunshine councils have wonderful international standard venues, the Games has 17 Sports from badminton, lawn bowls, wrestling, weightlifting to swimming, triathlon, athletics and boxing. Councillor Sandy Bolton will do a great job as the local representative and having 1986 Gold Medallist Ian Scuhback as her partner will only help. While the sport has been fantastic, my moment to remember was catching up with my old boarding school mate for the first time in 46 years. While our afternoon together brought back some terrific memories, I am afraid I suffered badly the next day, and don’t want to see him again for another 46. Until next time. noosa.starcommunity.com.au

Stepping up for a miracle SEVEN Noosa residents pounded the pavement last weekend in a bid to raise much needed funds for the Mater’s Little Miracle charity in the Gabba Stadium Stomp. Personal fitness coach Kate Davidson and six local residents climbed more than 5000 stairs and completed a full lap of the grounds at the Gabba Stadium in Brisbane on Sunday 21 June. Kate and her team completed the gruelling fitness challenge in under an hour and raised a combined total of more than $2000 for their efforts. The team members ranged in age from 17 to 50 and included all fitness levels. Kate said she was worried that some people may find the challenge difficult. “But everyone had a ball,” she said. “Everyone wants to do it again next year.” Kate said she had a great time competing in the challenge and even took the time to snap some action photos along the way. Kate said she and the team received a lot of support from local

businesses and residents. “I’d really like to thank Waterline Espresso for their help and generosity,” Kate said. Kate’s team also received a generous donation from a kind Noosa resident who decided to give after reading about Kate’s team in Noosa Today. “I’d also really like to thank Samantha Seymour who gave us a card with $100 inside,” she said. Donations can still be made until the end of 2015 at stadiumstomp2015gabba.gofundraise. com.au/page/KateDavidson1 or at Waterline Espresso, Noosaville.

LETTERS HERE we are at the end of the financial year and as predicted, Noosa Council has only achieved 50 per cent of its capital works. This is a fully paid “half job”! But where is the public outcry and indignation? The Noosa ratepayers have become very complacent to this under-achieving council. Mayor Noel Playford has only one choice left to make - resign immediately, or reimburse Noosa ratepayers half of their rates. Kevin Fuller, Eumundi.

Rules for some I WAS very interested to read Lucy Stanton’s information on the deal the government has done with Chinese tradesmen who can forego the same skills assessment Australians or any immigrant would have to go through to be able to work here. A mate emigrated here in 1968 after being the top apprentice plumber in the UK with the necessary papers but couldn’t work on his own until undergoing the proper safety assessments required. My son has a business with the necessary licences to test and repair household appliances but can’t connect a dishwasher to the plumb-

I’D JUST like to congratulate Noosa Council on the fantastic new bus stops. They look fabulous, appear to be incredibly strong, durable and not just the same old run-of-themill bus stops you see everywhere. Whoever is responsible for pushing for these unique shelters should be congratulated. Well done Noosa Council. Oh and every one of them seems to have a rubbish bin attached. 10 out of 10!

TO THE dog owners who continue to leave their dogs in cars while they’re in the shops. It is unacceptable, even in winter. Even if you leave the window open an inch. Even if you park in the shade. Even if you only plan to be five minutes. Take a lead and tie your dog up outside of the store! Please be a responsible dog owner.

ing or connect an oven or cooktop to the mains on his restricted licences. It is illegal for me to change a washer on a tap. So what’s with this Free Trade Agreement with China and what safety laws have been bypassed to please them and put the feathers in our politicians’ hats? If not careful we could end up with another “insulation batts“ scheme. Ernest Wright, Sunrise Beach.

LENSCAPE

On-water matters WITH the “jury“ being mostly non-ratepayers and a partnership being needed with Noosa Council and MP Elmes, do you think these rotting, sinking hulks will ever be removed? These scows have to be registered as they have motors. Look up the registered owners. Set a time limit for removal. If no action is taken advertise them for free salvage. Simple! Done! Mark Rose, Cooroy.

THANKYOU to Bill Neaves for this stunning photo of the Leaning Tree of Eumarella at Lake Weyba. “A real piece of natural beauty," Bill said. If you have a photo of Noosa’s landscape or wildlife, we would love to see it. Send your Lenscape entry to newsdesk@ noosatoday.net.au.

At it again I SEE where Cr Wellington is at it again, claiming that dispersals of bats by human hands does not work, and that the flying foxes happily residing in Wallace Park and its environs for the past four years, come September, are now beginning to disperse. Well, look again Cr Wellington ... all that has happened is that they have moved into the middle of the park, and a little further down from the library and leisure centre. They are still flying in their droves at night and at dawn, dropping all sorts of contaminants upon those below, and their property. The stench is as bad as ever, and the noise within the park is deafening as usual. Cr Wellington, we are pleased to advise you and your colleagues that in some instances dispersal of bats by human hands does work and we cite the experience of our own local hospital. Some four months ago, due to complaints by patients, Queensland Health conducted a dispersal program of bats from the hospital grounds and nearby areas. The dispersal means were done with two men banging lids, lighting fires, shaking trees, all day. As soon as the bats would seek to re-roost the men would act again, and eventually the bats in their droves flew off. And guess what, they have never returned. Noosa Council had promised to do extensive back cutting of trees and pathways to reduce the amount of bat feed in Wallace Park. It was supposed to be done a few weeks ago, but to date there is no sign of anything happening. No wonder the bats like it in Wallace Park. Council’s attitude makes them feel incredibly safe and secure. Kay Fielden, Tewantin.

Ship of state listing OVERLOADED with last century’s fossilised beliefs, the Government ship ‘Environs’, was listing to the far right and was not able to be stabilised.

ful of falling off the edge of the Earth into the darkest abyss, never to return. Scientists, navigators and astronomers aboard could not persuade them that a future orientation was essential for smooth sailing into a new century of enlightenment which had begun 15 years ago. Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach.

Just scaremongering A RECENT letter from L. Stanton repeats more of the mistruths and dishonesty that people have come to expect from Labor (Noosa Today, 10 July). The assertion that the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) will allow unskilled, low-paid Chinese workers on projects in Australia is typical union scaremongering. The fact is that a Chinese company undertaking an Australian project must use Australian workers unless it can prove that there are no qualified Australian workers to do the job. Chinese companies have access to Australia’s existing temporary skilled visa (457) program which enables employers to bring in skilled workers for a limited period in situations where they cannot find an appropriately skilled Australian. If a Chinese company were to be approved to sponsor temporary workers in Australia, these workers must be paid Australian wages and work under Australian conditions, must be qualified in their occupation, and must meet English language requirements.

Their visa application must verify their skills, proof of identity, work history, professional and educational qualifications, professional registration, licensing and memberships and references from previous employers. Building on Australia’s trade deals with Korea and Japan, ChAFTA forms part of a powerful trifecta of agreements with Australia’s three largest export markets, which account for more than 61 per cent of our exports of goods. New research from the Centre for International Economics has shown that these three new trade agreements will boost the Australian economy by over $24 billion and create many thousands of new jobs in Australia over the next 20 years. Warren Truss, Federal Member for Wide Bay.

Rare agreement IT’S not often that I agree with Woody Dass, but on his suggestion that John Lobb be banned from the letters pages, we are in harmony. And can I add another bitter bore to the list, that being Jeff Nuske. And let’s top it off with the tedious and pretentious Margaret Wilkie. They are all insufferable whingers. So I appeal to the editor of this paper to ignore their submissions in future. Michael Rowbotham, Noosa. Editor’s note: We respect Mr Rowbotham’s right to an opinion, just as we do for Messrs Lobb and Nuske and Ms Wilkie. 1191922-PB29-15

Trivia night has it all IT'S time to get your thinking cap on as Noosaville State School hosts its annual Trivia Night on Friday 24 July from 6pm. This has fast become one of the most anticipated social evenings on the Noosaville State School fund-raising calendar. Tickets are $12.50 per person and tables of 8-10 are available, and anyone without a team can be found a place. The event is a strictly adults only affair and a great night out, with each table invited to come dressed up in a specific theme for the evening that can be as simple as crazy hair and silly wigs. Previous years have seen the Hippy Hipsters, The Bogan Hunters, The Mexicans and so on, so the possibilities are endless. There will be prizes for the best dressed table on the night and it is a BYO event and snacks evening, although there will be limited snacks available for sale. This evening is more about the fun and less about the trivia, so there’s no need to be a trivia buff to attend. There will be five rounds of trivia questions with five fun table games and lots of spot prizes. There will be the usual

Artist Tamara Armstrong at the opening of her exhibition at the Green Cathedral in Noosaville.

Culture, nature are on show

P&C treasurer Jodi Holzapfel, principal Mary McMahon and P&C president Faye Hartley-Youens are ready for Trivia Night on 24 July. raffle prizes and auction rounds, so most people will leave a winner. This year, organisers are especially excited about having live entertainment courtesy of a very talented school Dad who has gener-

ously donated his time, so dancing shoes are a must. The event is open to the whole community. Tickets can be bought over the phone from the school tuckshop on 5440 3264 or phone P&C president Faye

directly on 0409 096 746 for more information. The fund-raising success of the evening relies heavily upon the ongoing generous support of the Noosa business community, so if you are a busi-

ness owner and would like to support the event with the donation of a prize for the auction and raffle, contact Faye at fyouens@outlook.com or on the number above.

BRISBANE-BASED artist Tamara Armstrong has launched an exhibition in Noosa’s Green Cathedral gallery, celebrating culture, nature and identity. The exhibition opened last Saturday and will run until 14 August at the Green Cathedral, 27 Rene Street, Noosaville, showcasing 22 original works plus a range of limited edition homewares. Tamara’s art is largely inspired by retro collectibles, fashion and gorgeous colour combinations that revive feelings of long-gone summers spent with friends in the sun. Anyone who enjoys Tamara’s work can also take the opportunity to create their own masterpiece with a one-off painting workshop on Saturday 1 August from 9am-1pm. The class is $150 per person, and each participant will learn the basics of drawing and painting as they create their own, ready-tohang patterned animal canvas. For more information, email contact@tamaraarmstrong.com or call 0411 502 313.

Battlefront doc a legend Between the Ron Lane’s

flags people

RON LANE

WITH total disregard for his own personal safety, the young Australian Charles Snodgrass Ryan, serving as a doctor in the Turkish Army, somehow managed to get his two wounded comrades on to the back of his horse. The first shot through the neck, he placed in the saddle and the second, his leg shattered by shrapnel, he placed behind. Holding the wounded in place with his right hand and leading his horse with his left, he moved out and despite being caught in heavy crossfire from the retreating Turkish Army and the advancing Russians, he managed to join up with his Turkish comrades. In his book Under The Red Crescent, first published in London in 1897, translated and republished in Turkish in 2005, Ryan described the incident. “The Russians were four hundred yards away pouring hot fire on our retreating troops and our men were answering at intervals, so I was caught between the two fires.” This incident took place during the Turkey -Russo war of 1876-’78. On 23 October 1926, some 46 years later, this former Turkish Army doctor died. At the time of his death, he was known throughout the nation as Major General Sir Charles Snodgrass Ryan. During the lead up to the Anzac Day Centenary, the media brought us stories of men who became legends during the Gallipoli campaign. Diggers such as Albert Jacka, John Hamilton, William Dunstan and Billy Sing just to name a few, were to become household names. But one Digger, who served with distinction on Gallipoli and was the centre of an incident which became legendary, has virtually remained unknown. The Digger was Charles Snodgrass Ryan. Born in Longwood Victoria, on September 20 1853, Ryan was educated at Melbourne Church of England Grammar School. Starting a medical course at the University of Melbourne 1870-’72 he went on to complete his studies at the University of Edinburgh in 1875. Following this he visited Europe where he undertook postgraduate studies in Bonn and Vienna. However, it was during a visit to Rome that he saw in a copy of the London Times an add that was to change his life forever. Placed by the Turkish Government it was a request for 20 military surgeons. Being young, adventurist and with a thirst for life, Ryan immediately returned to London and following an interview at the Turkish Embassy, was two days later on his way to Constantinople. As a doctor in the Turkish Army, he saw service against the Servians in 1876 and this was followed by the Russo-Turkish campaign of 1877’78. It was during this period that as a result of a four-month siege of the City of Plevna, where a garrison of some 14,000 Turkish troops held out for four months against the Russians, that the legend of Charles Snodgrass Ryan was born. Adding to the legend, it was noted that apart from performing his medical duties, he also took part in cavalry charges against superior Russian positions. While working at Plevna, under atrocious conditions he treated hundreds of Turkish soldiers. Working with the bare minimum of surgical instruments, he was to perfect a fast technique for amputations; techniques which years later in Australia noosa.starcommunity.com.au

Above: Charles Snodgrass Ryan was known as “Plevna Ryan” to the Turks and “Turkish Charlie” to the Diggers. Picture: Australian War Memorial Left: The Australian burial party. were to become not only the cause for much discussion but also fame and respect. After many weeks, he was ordered to escort wounded from the besieged city to the city of Sofia. Following this he served in Erzeroum, in conditions that Ryan was to describe as the most horrifying that he had ever accounted. At the fall of Erzeroum he became a prisoner of war of the Russians, but as an armistice was soon declared, Ryan returned home to Melbourne, arriving in June 1878. According to the Australian Dictionary of Biography, he was in 1879 elected to the honorary staff of the (Royal) Melbourne Hospital as surgeon until his retirement in 1913. Also during this period he was commissioned as a captain in the Volunteer Medical Service. Upon his promotion to the rank of Colonel, he was in 1902 appointed Principal Medical Officer Victoria. Then in 1904 he was the honorary physician to the Governor-General. Following the outbreak of war in 1914, he became assistant medical director of Medical Service 1st Division Australian Imperial Forces. On his arrival in Egypt in October, he was appointed to the staff of Lieutenant General Sir William Birdwood. Then came the day that was to

add to the legend; 29 May, 7.30am Gallipoli. In a stretch of earth between the Australian and Turkish trenches known as No Man’s Land, lay the bodies of hundreds of troops, both Australian and Turks. It was agreed that on this day a truce would come into effect, thus giving both sides a chance to bury their dead. After the two days it took to negotiate the terms for the truce, the stench from No Man’s Land was beyond description. As the burial details went about their duties, some Turks appeared to become very agitated, standing around pointing at an Australian officer, wearing a pith helmet, ribbons on his tunic, and in defiance of the Orders Of The Day, carrying a camera. The reason was that the ribbons worn by the Australian were Turkish. The Turks naturally assumed that the officer had stolen them from the bodies of fallen comrades. This would have to be the ultimate insult; total disrespect. Moving among the Turks, Ryan who during his service in their homeland had learned the language, overheard soldiers ask, “God knows to which fallen comrades of ours those medals belong. I wonder who he took them from.” Turkish historian Haluk

Oral who researched and recorded the incident wrote Ryans reply. “They weren’t stolen from anybody. They were pinned on my chest because I fought at the siege of Plevna with Ottoman Field Marshal Gazi Osman Pasha.” “The Turkish officers who had not expected such a reply took a closer look at the doctor and tears welled up in the eyes of the doctor and the officers as well. After a few more broken words were spoken, the Turkish officers tried to kiss the doctor’s hand. Soldiers from both sides looked on astounded.” In support of his research, Oral quotes newspaper editor Ahmet Emin Yalman, when writing of the incident in 1943. “Soldiers who had gallantly been fighting each other from their trenches came forward and met. It was then that the high ranking officers were astounded to discover a commander wearing the Plevna Medal. How could this be? Everybody listened to his story in disbelief; eyes welled up in tears and Plevna Ryan embraced Turkish officers as former comrades in arms. The indestructible foundation of Turkish-Australian friendship was established there amid the trenches of warfare. These bonds continue today.”

Photos taken by Ryan during the truce, in defiance of the Orders Of The Day, are now a part of military history, and are held for prosperity, in the archives of the Australian War Memorial, Canberra. Charles Snodgrass Ryan went on to be known as “Plevna Ryan” to the Turks and “Turkish Charlie” to the Diggers. As a result of his devoting an entire chapter to the exploits of Ryan in his work, Gallipoli 1915 Through Turkish Eyes (Turkiye Bankasi 2007) Oral has ensured that at least in Turkey, the legend will never die. Even today the story of Plevna Ryan is told and retold. For his service to his country and his outstanding contribution in the fields of medicine, he was knighted in 1919. Major-General Sir Charles Snodgrass Ryan KBE, CB, CMG, VD, died while at sea onboard the Otranto, near Adelaide. He was returning from a trip to Europe. Cause of death was cardiac failure. He was 73. There is every chance that while on Gallipoli, Ryan would have treated the wounded and shared the hardships and dangers with the old Diggers from our community. Therefore we could also humbly acknowledge this great Australian as, one of Our People.

AUSTRALIA’S extensive system of marine sanctuaries is vital to the protection of corals and other marine species in our waters. Fiona Maxwell, Australian Marine Conservation Society’s campaigns officer for marine parks warns that: “The future of our oceans is now at a crossroads because recent government decisions have set the country on a destructive path.” At Friday Environment Forum on 17 July, Ms Maxwell will introduce the documentary ‘The Sea and Me’ which tells the story of Australia’s marine sanctuaries, some of which have been in place for two decades. The film showcases communities, business owners, fishers, divers and researchers who care for our oceans. Experience the beauty of Australia’s marine sanctuaries at Noosa Parks Association’s Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville. Coffee is available from 10am and the forum commences at 10.30 am. Meet Valda in the car park at 8.30 am to enjoy interpretive birding in Wallace Park. All welcome.

It’s food for the mind A STUNNING book-buyers smorgasbord has been assembled by The Friends of the Noosaville Library for their mid-year book sale at the library forecourt on Saturday 25 July, from 9.30am to noon.

As well there are many children’s tales, reference books, special interest publications and books from the library’s shelves that, though in good condition, have reached their use-by date for a variety of reasons. The sale offers the opportunity for keen readers to top up their home library collections and perhaps be introduced to a new style of writing while supporting the ongoing diverse and innovative work of the library. Donations of quality books for the sale may be made at the front desk of the library.

HOMETODAY

Smart tips that don’t cost much IT may be freezing outside, but now is the time to keep on top of mould and mildew in your backyard living spaces. You can also help keep the environment clean and healthy by using these homemade recipes to remove dirt, grime and insects from your outdoor living spaces.

· Homemade insecticide: This recipe is perfect · for anyone with sensitive skin and is friendly on the budget costing about 10 cents per bottle. To make, add together four teaspoons of dried mint or eight teaspoons of chopped

fresh mint into a heatproof jug and add one litre of boiling water. When the mixture is cool, strain it in to a spray bottle and add a teaspoon of lavender oil and shake well. Lightly mist the mixture onto your skin and rub it in to help keep flies, mosquitoes and midges off your skin. Homemade window cleaner: Have bright sparkling windows and a happier wallet by mixing together equal parts vinegar and water. Spray onto your window and wipe off with a paper towel. The diluted vinegar will take a little longer to dry so you have plenty

of time to polish the glass.

· Barbecue cleaning: Don’t let your barbecue

rust over this winter. While the barbecue is still warm, simply pour a little vegetable oil over the hot plate and wipe with paper towels. For stubborn stains, while the plate is hot sprinkle on white sugar and vinegar. Leave on full heat until the vinegar evaporates and then use a scraper to remove the stain. After you have cleaned the hotplates, pour vegetable oil on and let the plates cool. Wipe down with a paper towel once the barbecue is completely cooled.

mail: Keep snails out of the letter box · Snail - wipe a line of Vaseline around the edge of

the letterbox. Snails and slugs won’t be able to stick to it and will fall off. Oil slicks: The easiest way to remove oil marks from your driveway is with plaster of Paris. Simply mix with water until the plaster is the consistency of peanut butter. For every cup you make, add one teaspoon of dishwashing liquid and stir thoroughly. Paint the mixture over the stain, allow it to dry, and crack the dry plaster with a wooden spoon and then brush it away. Voila. No more oil stains.

Ditch the chemicals and go enviro-friendly.

Play it safe with winter warming on the patio OUTDOOR heating is a popular addition to any Noosa backyard during the cooler months, but it’s important to be safe when keeping warm this winter. Portable patio heaters are growing in popularity making their way

from outdoor restaurants to covered decks and outdoor living spaces, but it’s important to remember a few safety tips when turning on the heater. Patio heaters are known to cause fires when they are stored incor-

rectly, not properly maintained or are placed too close to awnings or other combustible materials. To stay safe this winter, only use the heater in a well-ventilated area and keep the heater clear of any overhead coverings such as awnings

and shade sails. Make sure the heater is stored correctly and the gas bottle is maintained and free from dents or damage. It’s also important to watch for warning signs that something may

be wrong, such as gas flames and radiant panels that burn yellow or produce soot, and have the unit serviced. Taking small steps to ensure safe heating this winter can help avoid a disaster.

Dip in approvals investment growth,” he said.

ACCORDING to the May Housing Finance Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 50,366 home loans were approved over the course of the month - down from 53,643 the month prior. Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said this is the smallest number of home loan approvals recorded since August 2013. “Over the month of May, we saw a 6.1 per cent drop in the number of dwelling commitments for all owneroccupied housing, as well as an 8.3 per cent drop in the number of home loans approved for the construction of dwellings,” he said. “And it wasn’t just the number of home loans approvals that fell over the month of May, the value of all dwelling approvals also took a fall.” Just over $31 billion worth of home loans were approved over the month of May, down 4.4 per cent on the month prior.

“Of course, while some of the changes made applied purely to investment lending, others went right across the board and impacted both owneroccupiers and investors.

AUCTION

The value of owneroccupied dwelling commitments dropped 5.3 per cent to just over $18 billion, while the value of investment loans tumbled 3.2 per cent to $13 billion.

“Because of this, I am not surprised to see a drop off in the level of home loan demand in May. Moving forward, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this weaker level of demand continue, especially when you consider that the next few months of data will be from winter - which is a notoriously quiet time for the property market.”

Speaking about the data, Mr Flavell said he wasn’t surprised to see a dip in home loan activity in May given that a lot of lenders made changes to their lending policy that month.

Furthermore, Mr Flavell said global uncertainty - including the growing problems in Greece and China - may encourage potential buyers to take a seat on the sidelines.

the month, they are unchanged over the past three months and have increased by 1.1 per cent over the past 12 months.

across Australia’s capital cities accompanied by record high participation in the housing market from investors.

However, the 1.1 per cent annual rise in capital city rents is the slowest rate of growth on record since December 1995.

“A high proportion of the inner city unit development in particular is being targeted by domestic investors and foreign purchasers,” he said.

CoreLogic RP Data research analyst Cameron Kusher said the sluggish pace of rental appreciation continues to be attributed to the ongoing boom in dwelling construction

When looking across the individual capital cities over the past year, Sydney and Hobart have recorded the greatest increases in weekly rents.

The report also found, over the past three months rents are lower in all cities except for Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra - and Sydney and Melbourne were recording relatively stronger rental growth despite a large surge in new supply and high levels of investment purchasing. With home values growing faster than rents, gross rental yields are at a record low level according to the June report.

Back Alley Cats are set to play the Noosa-Tewantin RSL this weekend.

Cats of more than one life in music Noosa-based performer Rebecca O’Connor is bringing her Tina Turner tribute show home to Noosa on Saturday 18 July at Sunshine Beach Surf Club.

What you get is what you see REBECCA O’Connor is simply the best as Tina Turner and now she’s bringing her internationally acclaimed show to Sunshine Beach Surf Club for one show only this Saturday night. Rebecca has just returned from an international tour to her home country Ireland, plus Spain, Europe and Singapore along with guest appearances on cruise ships.

The show is bigger, better and the band has taken the performance to a whole new level. Noosa Today has a double pass to giveaway to the show. For your chance to win a double pass simply email your name and phone number to competitions@noosatoday.net.au. Tickets are on sale now through the Sunshine Beach Surf Club by phoning 5447 5491.

THE Tewantin Noosa RSL is cool for cats this weekend as The Back Alley Cats prepare to strut their stuff on Saturday night from 8pm. Playing the south bar, this Sunshine Coast band is described as having a vintage sound with a modern edge. And they must be doing something right because this three-piece is pouncing ahead in the popularity stakes. They originally started in mid-2013 as a covers band, playing hits from legends such as Johnny Cash, Elvis, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Gene Vincent, The Skyhooks, Van Morrison and The Stray Cats.

But it was 2014 that proved the pivotal year for the band, switching from covers to writing and performing their own original rockabilly music which led to their first EP: Faces. Their music style is now a mix of ’50’s rock ‘n’ roll, rockabilly and swing. Get along to see Job Cran, Dale Berends, and Alex Swinton, better known as The Back Alley Cats in perfect purring action.

Stranded in paradise Life of

brine PHIL JARRATT

“THE latest advice from our team of meteorologists and the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre is that conditions are no longer suitable for operations into and out of Denpasar Airport today. We have been advised that Mt Raung continues to erupt and winds are now blowing in an unfavourable direction, and are forecast to continue to do so for the rest of the day.” That’s the message that greeted me at Virgin Australia’s website last Sunday morning, not for the first time either. Like thousands of others, we are stranded in paradise. Of course, being stranded in Bali is a whole lot better than fleeing the rivers of molten lava in East Java like tens of thousands are currently doing. And Mount Raung, Indonesia’s most active volcano which blows its stack on average every five to 10 years, is only just warming up. But as much as we love being here, life is rolling along without us, and I’m not entirely happy about this. Already, I’ve blown off the Whalebone Longboard Classic in Perth, where, ironically, I was to have done a video and talk show about my Bali book before all flights were cancelled for Thursday and Friday, and as I write, the wind has changed direction again and from Pantai Pererenan, I can see a grey haze of volcanic ash off in the distance where the airport is normally visible under the white cliffs of the Bukit Peninsula. We are ticketed out via Perth again, on the only flight we could get on for a week, but with similar winds predicted for the next few days, I can’t see us flying. I’m told the airport is full of angry people sleeping in corners of the tiled floors, but I’m not going near the place until we get a confirmed take-off, and until then we’ll just have to tough it out at the beach. I’m not expecting any sympathy, by the way, from all of you braving the vicious Noosa winter. I’m fortunate in that most of what I do I can do anywhere, so at my little Bali office beside the pool it will just be business as usual, until it isn’t. Bali’s surfing pioneer ONE of the projects I’ve been working on over these forced extra days here is some new research on Bob Koke, the American who introduced surfing to Bali in 1936. Although Koke and his wife Louise, who built and ran Kuta Beach’s first tourist hotel in the 1930s, have long since passed on, I’ve managed to establish communication with Louise’s grandson in California, and have also uncovered some new facts about this extraordinary couple. When she first met Koke, Louise was the wife of the distinguished but drunken and philandering Hollywood screenwriter Oliver H.P. Garrett (A Farewell To Arms, Duel In The Sun). By 1934, Garrett’s affairs had become too much for Louise, who embarked on one of her own, with the handsome tennis coach and stills photographer who often hung around the Garrett’s Beverly Hills estate coaching Oliver and his pals David Selznick and Charlie Chaplin. It may have even been Chaplin, who had visited Bali in 1932, who planted the idea of the island paradise in Koke’s head, but when he stole off with Louise, that was where they ended up, and soon decided to stay. In her 1942 memoir, Our Hotel In Bali, Louise recalled: ‘We were having drinks on the verandah, and who should show up but a dumpy woman in a sarong, horn-rimmed glasses, black hair, and she spoke English. She rented us a car and ... showed us Kuta Beach.’ The woman was the wildly eccentric Britisher Muriel Pearsen, known in Bali as K’tut Tantri, and as a professional troublemaker, but the Kokes fell madly in love with the broad expanse of Kuta Beach and formed an unlikely noosa.starcommunity.com.au

Photo WSL. business partnership with Tantri to create the Kuta Beach Hotel. Bob had worked in the production department at MGM, where one of his first assignments was to travel to Hawaii as assistant to the director on the 1932 film Bird of Paradise. Although he had grown up not far from the beach, this was Koke’s first real experience of surf culture, and he loved it. Soon he was riding big redwood surfboards alongside the beach boys at Waikiki. Now, while he and Louise planned their hotel, Bob wired to Hawaii for his redwood plank. Part of the Kokes’ package was the surfing experience. Bob had recognised immediately the wave-riding potential of Kuta Beach, and even before his own board arrived he carved out a couple of shorter wooden boards in the Hawaiian alaia style, sensibly thinking that they could be used by guests with no experience to ride either standing or prone. By the end of 1937, the Kokes and K’tut Tantri were at war over a number of issues and

she moved into a bungalow on the other side of the sandy beach lane and opened her own hotel, which she also called the Kuta Beach Hotel. The Kokes went to court to try to stop her, and were still in litigation when the Japanese were poised to invade in 1942. Tantri fled to Java, where she became a collaborator with the Japanese, known on the airwaves as “Surabaya Sue”, while Louise took passage for California and Bob joined the US Army, before being recruited to the Office of Strategic Services, later the CIA. Immediately after the war, Bob Koke returned to Kuta Beach, and found that his hotel had been burnt to the ground. In fact the only souvenirs of those years were his surfboards, which are still in Bali today. When Louise died in 1993, Bob came back to Kuta to scatter her ashes in the waves of the beach she loved, an old man wading into the surf with a small jar, unrecognised by the surfers speeding by him as the father of surfing in Bali.

Authors share inspiration LITERARY inspiration, the creation of characters and writing habits were among the subjects explored by two leading writers of contemporary fiction at an authors’ evening presented by Friends of the Noosaville Library last week. Helene Young and Jenn J McLeod, both writers of country-themed novels that are currently on a popularity roll in Australia, shared the stage at the library to discuss all aspects of their books with an audience of more than 40 who participated in a spirited question-and-answer session. Helene, who writes in the romance suspense genre, is currently working on her sixth novel which will take readers into the underworld of drugs with a fictional methamphetamine lab deep in the outback. Earlier this year, her publishers, Penguin, launched Northern Heat, a racy tale of murder and love under the scorching sun of Cooktown in Northern Queensland. Describing her technique Helene said she was an organic writer. “I start and just go; story

Authors – and friends – Jenn J McLeod, left, and Helene Young with their latest books. Picture: Erin Miller plots develop and I produce a rough draft of about 50,000 words,” she said. “Then the joy comes in - adding texture, layers, connecting characters and polishing up the entire novel, always based on my real-life experiences.” Jenn, who is currently completing the fourth and final novel in her Seasons Series for Simon and Shuster said her storylines often came from “left field”. “It may be a tag-line or a

throw-away comment in the news or on Facebook, or could come from a phone call from a friend with a suggestion or observation that captures my attention,” she said. “I never know when a story plot will present itself, and I love that element of surprise.” Jenn read an excerpt from her novel Season of Shadow and Light, and Helene, who lives on a catamaran, took the audience ‘arm-chair sailing’ as she read a passage from Northern Heat.

Stage three pops up TWO hundred art-lovers were on-hand on Saturday for the opening of stage-three of the PopUp Art Series Exhibition at the Butter Factory at Cooroy. Artist Judy Barrass officially opened the third of the four-part series, reflecting on how much things had changed in the past two decades at the Butter Factory - growing from a community arts centre “run by a voluntary committee battling against leaks, possums and massive maintenance problems”. She said council stepped in, renovated, fixed leaks, kicked possums out, built the library and the Butter Factory became part of a precinct. Judy said the Butter Factory Pop-Up Gallery was now reflective of a world-wide movement where artist-runinitiatives are the new hot item as an alternative to “the top-heavy, sterile world of public galleries and commercial spaces”. “When you walk into an artist run gallery,” Judy said, “There’s an air of excitement and ownership… of being in direct contact with the makers.” “It invites participation and conversation. “Artist-run-initiatives are more informal, more subjective, and more social”. The third PopUp Art Series

Judy Barrass and Cr Sandy Bolton. is a diverse collection of mediums, styles and subjects from over 50 artists and crafts’ persons. During July there will be artist and artisan’s demonstrations, talks and workshops including a Photoshop session with photographer Rick Sherwin, and learning rub off techniques with artist Helen Peel.

and make their own olive oil. “There are so many sensational places to visit that are yet unspoilt by the sheer volume of tourists that travel the world.” Some of Croatia’s must-see destinations include the country’s second largest city, Split, the Plitvice Lakes national park with its 16

Putting lives back on track A UNIVERSITY of the Sunshine Coast graduate and Doonan local is using his Executive Master of Business Administration to help save lives. David Bermingham completed his EMBA in 2011, which provided the catalyst for a career change to the notfor-profit management sector. In January this year, he was appointed to the position of Queensland and West Australia State manager for Destiny Rescue, a not-for-profit organisation that operates from Birtinya on the Sunshine Coast. Destiny Rescue is dedicated to rescuing children from human trafficking and sexual exploitation throughout southeast Asia. “We provide kids rescued from sexual exploitation a safe and loving home, medical care, counselling, schooling, vocational training and all daily needs required to be integrated back in to society successfully,” Mr Bermingham said. “We also help protect vulnerable children from being trafficked.” Prior to enrolling at USC, Mr Bermingham said he was looking for ways to further support him as a business owner. “My mum is a hairdresser and was actually cutting the hair of a USC lecturer who suggested I should look in to the EMBA,” he said. “As soon as I read through the course outline, I knew it was the one for me.” During Mr Bermingham’s studies, he sold his businesses and started planning how he could tie his new qualification

in with his passion for community development work. “That’s where I came across Destiny Rescue, so when I saw the state manager position advertised at the end of last year, I was really excited,” he said. “Thanks to the EMBA, I have really good skills for strategic planning and im-

plementation and marketing, which are all crucial when working for a not-for-profit group. “I think this course would be beneficial for anyone who wants to work at any level of management - whether you own your own business or want to work in the corporate sector.”

New rules for ad signs COUNCIL is urging local business owners to check whether their advertising signs comply with the rules after new Local Laws for advertising devices such as temporary signage and A-frames took effect from 1 July. Planning and Environment manager Kerri Coyle said the new Local Law aimed to protect the visual amenity of Noosa’s roads and footpaths from excessive signage. “We’re asking all business owners to make sure they are familiar with the Local Law and comply with the requirements,“ she said. For A-frame or sandwich board signs: A maximum of one sign per tenancy is permitted The sign should be placed on the property it refers The maximum size permitted is 900mm x 600mm or 0.54m2 of each side One teardrop/kite sign may be displayed instead of using an A-frame sign For real estate signs: Only one sign per property is permitted

Doonan local David Bermingham is using his Executive Master of Business Administration to help save lives.

The rules surrounding real estate signs have changed. Check with council to make sure advertising signs comply with the new Local Laws.

· The sign must be placed on the property that is for sale · The maximum size permit-

ted is 2.16m2 The Local Law also limits the number and location of event directional type signage and also signage for open-forinspection times, auctions and garage sales. “All other signage is controlled by The Noosa Plan,“ Ms Coyle said.

Business owners can contact council for advice on what signs are permitted and whether their current signs are appropriate by calling 5329 6245 or by visiting www. noosa.qld.gov.au/local-lawsoverview (see Subordinate Local Law No 1). Council officers will be calling into local businesses in coming months to provide information on Local Law requirements for advertising. noosa.starcommunity.com.au

Wide Load heads north WATCH out Hamilton Island Race Week - there’s a Wide Load on its way. Noosa couple Elaine Williams and Alan McClintock and their local crew (apart from one ring in from Canberra) are set to take their Young 11 cruisingracing yacht north to compete in the Cruising Spinnaker Division at Audi Hamilton Island Race Week which starts on 15 August. The plan to take the yacht - named Wide Load because of its considerable beam - north to Hamilton Island began on New Year’s Eve when the couple bought the boat. With the 11-metre long yacht race-ready, Elaine, who works at the local RSL, recently lodged their entry - the yacht drawing plenty of interest after becoming the 100th yacht on the impressive list of competitors for Australia’s premier offshore series. The Noosa-based couple are sailing tragics and can be regularly found on the Noosa River - racing small boat on the River in competition each Wednesday evening, while on weekends they sail Wide Load on the expansive, open waters of Moreton Bay. Since purchasing the well-known 18-year-old Wide Load, they have added a few creature comforts to the interior and modified the cockpit to make her more comfortable for cruising, with the ultimate aim to compete in the Cruising Spinnaker Division at Audi Hamilton Island Race Week. Alan McClintock will be doing his fifth Race Week this year, but it wasn’t until Elaine sailed in the tropical regatta for the first time last year that the couple decided they needed a boat of their own so they could compete in 2015. Elaine, who described Audi Hamilton Island Race Week as “the best regatta imaginable”, said that as well as enjoying racing and cruising around the Whitsunday Islands this year, they were

Alan and Elaine are preparing to sail north for the prestigious race. The crew will take a week to get there before getting stuck into the racing. looking forward to the coastal cruise north from Brisbane. She and Alan are convinced that Wide Load will serve them well both cruising and racing. “We have a fun crew comprising an interesting cross-section of friends,” Elaine said.

“Doug Ritchie, who hails from Canberra and lives is a castle on the banks of Lake Burley Griffin, is certainly a colourful character. “But it’s Lindsay Atherton who is causing us the most concern right now. “She is an Australian working at an

oil rig in Kazakhstan, which is seemingly in the middle of nowhere. “The only travel opportunity she has to get back to Australia sees her arriving the day before we are due to leave Brisbane… we just hope she makes it in time.”

Mixed bag for Noosa in brisk conditions By RICHARD MURRIHY NOOSA SOFTBALL WHILE some of us got to spend the weekend at the state softball conference in Brisbane, others still had the nitty gritty job of playing and coaching in the brisk conditions at Caboolture. The under-15s were greeted with a forfeit, while the Whites had a loss in the under-17s and the Blacks won their under-17s game.

Batting first, the Blacks scored one run with Riley hitting another home run, while their opponents the Comets left with no runs - leaving Noosa up one-nil after the first. The second innings saw Noosa hit their stride with the bat with all nine players crossing the plate highlighted by Shinai’s home run. In reply, the Comets managed just one run to take the scores to 12 -1 to Noosa. The third saw the Comets hit back, getting Noosa out without scoring but

Noosa returned the favour keeping their opponents to nil to see the score remain 12-1. The fourth included a three bagger from Riley, while Cody scored a two bagger to give Noosa three runs again keeping the Comets scoreless. In the field, Josh got two put outs while Riley took three catches and rolled a double to complete a pretty good game and Emma had a go at pitching - an all-round good team game especially in the second when they scored

11 runs. Meanwhile, the men had a win 9-7 against the Demons. Josh, Kane, Leigh and Cody all had safe base hits to help the score tick over. William and Kane both took catches to help out in the field. A good day for Noosa again and thanks to all those who helped out while others were in Brisbane at the meeting. Next week sees the washed out games being played on Sunday, so we will have two days of softball.

Pomona ladies eye flag as crunch time looms In the

ditch POMONA BOWLS LADIES PENNANTS THE Ladies team had a loss in the morning and a win in the afternoon. The competition is very close with both Pomona and Kandanga on eight points and Albert on 10. As Albert has a bye in round five, the Pomona ladies need to win both morning and afternoon games on Monday 13 July to win the pennant flag. Ladies B Grade Round Robin Championship was played in great spirit, and the ladies were fairly evenly matched. Jeanne Price defeated Sharon Foale; Katie McInnes defeated Jeanne Price in a very close game with both players bowling great shots; Sharon Foale defeated Katie McInnes in the noosa.starcommunity.com.au

last round. Games director will announce the winner on Wednesday. Wednesday Neilsen’s sponsored mixed selected triples - good number of bowlers participated with the final results being - winners of the day Julanne Brown, Desley O’Neill and Don Mallett(s) and runners-up Bill Schutt, Keith Muir and Fay Beadnell(s). Don’t forget to put your name down for Wednesday 12 August starting at 9.30am. Due to inclement weather, Friday Twilight bowls were cancelled although a few stalwarts enjoyed a sociable roll up in the cold conditions. Sunday spit roast, bowls and musical entertainment proved a winner and was enjoyed by all who attended. Watch this space for the next monthly date.

Sunshine Coast surf cadets gather for Youth Ball By DEAN SMALLMAN WITH the new Surf Lifesaving season just around the corner, the Surf Lifesaving cadets of the Sunshine Coast gathered on Saturday evening for the annual Youth Ball at Maroochydore SLSC. Over 150 under-14 to under-18 club representatives dined and danced â&#x20AC;&#x2122;til late to a great DJ who played nothing that any parent would know, but seemingly everything that the kids love. The dancing was preceded by an exceptional two-course meal prepared by the team at Maroochydore SLSC. As always, the cadets from Sunshine Beach SLSC were arguably best on ground, with 15 in total â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;frocking upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for this glamorous event. Many mums for the first time opened their shoe safes (if such a thing exists) to their daughters, while the young men spared little securing dinner suits from second hand stores - this was always going to be a fun and memorable night. Sunshine Beach stalwarts, Jo and Warwick Redwood kindly offered (after some nudging) to both chaperone and drive this handsome and loud bunch to and from Maroochy-

for the upcoming State and National Pool Rescue Championships. More than 30 Sunshine Beach SLSC members will compete at these championships in the coming weeks on the Gold Coast with medals expected in many events. Training at the Noosa

Aquatic Centre has been underway now for eight weeks, averaging around three to five sessions a week. For more information about the upcoming season, jump onto the Sunshine Beach SLSC website at: www.sunshinebeachslsc.com.au.

THIS weekend will be the big one for the Noosa Heads SLSC IRB competition teams when they travel to Mooloolaba to contest the national titles. All indications are that Noosa will be represented by under 23 male and under 23 female teams, an open male team and two masters teams. To date, it has been a good winter for the Noosa teams for they have competed at carnivals on both the Gold and Sunshine Coast beaches, thus gaining experience in various surf conditions. At the recent state titles, one team reached the finals and others reached semi-finals. As this is their first hit out at the Nationals, the experience for this relatively young crew plus the experience gained in earlier carnivals will be invaluable. As Sunshine Beach is still in

will be entered in the under 19 age group. With the Noosa club just coming out of a season in which several of the young ones made big impressions and Sunshine doing the same, it speaks volumes for the future of both clubs. On 15 August, Martha Kneale of the Noosa Club will take part in a 12km charity swim from Mudjimba Beach to Mooloolaba to raise funds for Nambour Special Schools. Martha, who is 22, works at the Noosa Sports and Spinal Physiotherapy Centre. Joining the Noosa Nippers at 10 years of age, she has been involved with Seahorse Nippers and now holds the bronze medallion. As a part of the event, entrants are expected to have raised $1000 which will go to the cause. To help in the fund-raising, a special breakfast will be held on Sunday 26 July in the newly decked out section of the club courtyard. All members are invited and donations will be accepted. The breakfast will start at 8am following the 7am training swim.

To ensure that all athletes are ready, their training is already well underway. The event which will be held on the weekend of Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October will be contested over a course extending from Coolangatta to Broadbeach; with short course events being held on the Saturday and the long course events on the Sunday. Over the years, the Gold has always been contested by both Noosa and Sunshine members, starting at the minimum age of 16 years through to the Opens.

With the experience gained by their IRB crews patrolling the very treacherous Alexandria Bay, we can be assured that when their teams are finalised, they will be worth watching. During the winter months, a lot of events are centered around the endurance races, with the summer months being the shorter course surf carnival events. For example on 26 July Jordan Mercer, Lachlan Lansdown and Rhys Burrows, will fly to Hawaii to contest the Molaki to Oahu World Paddle Board Championship. This will be contested over a distance of 55km. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event was indeed good for Noosa with Jordan finishing first in her division and Lachlan second in his.

Olympian takes a leap TRIPLE Olympian Vicki Roycroft will lead an impressive field of some of Australia’s top showjumpers competing at the Noosa Showgrounds this weekend. The top riders are in town for the Queensland State Showjumping Championships. The titles were originally set down for May but were postponed due to torrential rain. Because of this rescheduling, the Sunshine Coast Showjumping Club’s July Show falls in line with Queensland’s biggest showjumping events. The Gatton Show, the SCSJ Club’s July Show, the four-day Glenhaven Park Show at Kilcoy, the Gatton World Cup Qualifier, The Caboolture World Cup Qualifier and the Brisbane Royal Show all take place in succession now and have attracted the top riders in Australia to provide a feast of showjumping action within a 100 kilometre radius of Brisbane. The main event of the SCSJ Club’s July Show will be Monday’s Grand Prix Equestrian Queensland (EQ) State Championships, incorporating part four of the Stubben Saddle Classic. Starting at 2pm, this event will feature 40 of Australia’s top horses and the nation’s 25 best World Cup riders. Taking place on the showgrounds, the competitors will be challenged by the Paul Raymont designed challenging 800m course starting with jumps at 1.50 metres then featuring Olympic level

jumps of 1.60m in the jump-off. Sandale Saddlery of Palmwoods has donated a $4100 Stubben saddle as the prize. Vicki Roycroft, who has not jumped at Nambour before, said she was pleased to attend. “Nambour has a reputation for having a good jumping surface,” she said. Vicki won the first World Cup qualifier this year at the Sydney Royal Show. Cooroy’s Billy Raymont, who won the Grand Prix at the same show, will also be competing on both Anton, his Olympic squad horse, and his World Cup qualifier winning horse Stardom. A total of 400 horses have been entered for the show. Warm-up events will be held on Saturday. The serious action starts on Sunday from 3pm to 4pm with a speed challenge over a higher course than previous shows. Jumping 1.40m at speed on a 600m course will see some thrilling action from the top riders. At 7pm on Sunday evening there is the EQ Young Rider Championships for 18 to 21-yearolds followed by the EQ State Junior Championships for riders turning 12 to 18 this year. The SCSJ Club’s July Show is free to the public and food will be available on the grounds. For further details and entry information contact Sue Raymont on 5447 6589 or email her at psraymont@hotmail.com.

New term for tennis teams By ANNETTE ADSETT TENNIS is back in full swing this week with Ladies fixtures starting on Friday and the annual challenge againt Maroochydore on Sunday. After a slightly disappointing holiday period with some sessions having to be cancelled because of the wet weather, there is now a new term of tennis. The ladies’ fixtures resume on 17 July with Coolum Tourists playing in the first grade division. They should have some great competition. Coolum Travellers are confident of once again achieving a top four spot in Division Five. Term three for Juniors starts with some vacancies. Parents who would like their junior to join are asked to contact Andrew on 0421 391 505 or email him at coolum@ ashtennis.com. The Juniors resume their winter competition played on Friday nights and Saturday mornings. Help is still needed to man the barbecue as a service to the families rather than as a fund-raiser. One of the club’s social highlights for the year, the annual challenge against Maroochydore, will be played on Sunday at Maroochydore. The teams are to assemble noosa.starcommunity.com.au

at the Cotton Tree courts at 8am on Sunday for an 8.30am start. Each player will play two mixed doubles and either a ladies or a men’s set and should be finished by noon. These matches have been played for about 30 years, originally with both a home and an away match each year. Last year the tennis match was cancelled due to inclement weather even though both Alan and Mark flew up from Melbourne to play. The previous year, Coolum led at half-time but, unfortunately, were beaten in the afternoon. The club is keen to once again regain the trophy and has a strong team. This has been announced during the week so members are encouraged to check the board for all details. Members are reminded that there are many opportunities to play tennis with social games on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings, as well as on Monday and Thursday nights. Adam is again organising the Tuesday night competition that was so successful last season. Also check with the coach for vacancies in Fit Tennis and other programs.

Snakes strike against Outlaws

Parkrun Noosa is for people of all ages and fitness levels.

Run is a walk in the park By SARAH DECK THIS Saturday, 18 July, marks the first birthday of Noosa Parkrun and event organisers are encouraging everyone to come along and celebrate. One year ago saw the birth of the volunteer organised Noosa Parkrun. The free, weekly timed five kilometre run is part of a worldwide phenomenon which started in England just over 10 years ago and is open to everyone, young and old, fit and not-so-fit. It takes place at the same venue and time every week of the year 7am at Noosaville School, Beckmans Road, Noosaville. During this year 744 local runners have registered for the event. Interstate and overseas Parkrun visitors have clocked up an impressive total of more than 18,000 kilometres. Ages range from five to 80 years old and the women’s course record standing at 19 mins 18 seconds is held by 12-year-old Chloe Mclennan. However the majority of run-

ners are mums and dads in the 30 to 45 age group and they are accompanied by some very enthusiastic children. Most people feel that they could be doing something extra in terms of exercise and there are often very valid reasons why this is tricky to fit into their schedules. Finding a way to remove these excuses is often part of the challenge and it is for people such as them that Parkrun provides the perfect opportunity to begin a new habit. A Parkrun visitor commented in its guest book “wonderful run, lovely and scenic, brilliantly organised, very friendly and welcoming to all”. Another mentioned the “great sense of community”. Runners are invited to come along and see what it is all about. All they need to do is register and print off a barcode. Visit www.parkrun.com.au/noosa for details of the course. Once registered runners can participate at any Parkrun event in the world.

CABOOLTURE Snakes came home strongly to defeat the Northern Outlaws 26 to 18 in their Rugby League clash at Beerwah on Saturday night. The game started well for the Outlaws with Riley McDowell exposing the Sharks’ defence to score after just four minutes of play. Caboolture struck back quickly and led 10 points to four after 13 minutes. Ben Ashford scored in the corner after 26 minutes and the lead was reduced to just two points favouring the Snakes. When Tom Whyte scored for the Outlaws in the 35th minute, things looked good approaching the long break. Caboolture had different ideas and scored in the remaining seconds to lead 14 to 12. Errors were proving costly yet coach Anthony Zipf was still confident as the second half began. However 30 seconds in Caboolture scored again to increase the lead out to eight points. Billy Rogers, playing his first game for the Outlaws since being seriously injured in April, came off the bench and his impact was immediate scoring in the 52nd minute to breathe new life into the Outlaws. With Shaun Wilson converting the try, Caboolture had their lead reduced to just two points with plenty of time remaining. Caboolture never relinquished the lead, scoring again twice in the remaining minutes to secure the points. Although disappointed with the result, Zipf was quick to acknowledge the efforts of Waydon O’Donnell and Peter Nye who backed up after playing earlier. With some key players due to return next week the main objective is to secure the points in what will be a crucial game against Nambour in Gympie. Also it would be remiss of me if I didn’t mention Zipf’s playing efforts. Well done. Earlier in the day the mighty Noosa Pirates took on the might of Caboolture in a must-win clash for both teams if they were to keep their finals chances alive. In a see-sawing game both teams gave their all with the scoreline showing how tight things were, the Pirates holding a slender two-point lead at the break, 12 to 10. The lead changed hands in the second-half and with 14 minutes remaining the scores were locked at 16 points a-piece. A penalty to the Pirates gave them the opportunity to regain the lead which Seaton Reid did after his long range kick went over the uprights. Tense moments ensued for the remaining four minutes of play with Caboolture heartbreakingly dropping the ball metres from the line with just eight seconds to play. Final scores saw the Noosa Pirates winners at 18 to 16. Try scores for the game were Aaron Locke, Ben Swann and, making his return after two seasons away, Blair Ryan. Coach Scott Christensen was delighted with his team’s efforts. The boys have improved greatly throughout the year so far and the possibility of playing finals football now seems very real. On a sad note, it is with regret that Brock Dalgleish has retired from playing Rugby League. Plagued with serious injuries culminating with a fractured eye socket of late, Brock has decided to hang up his boots. A young player with great skills and toughness, Brock gave 100 per cent every time he played. Both the Pirates and Outlaws players, committees and supporters wish him well in his future endeavours. Coming up on 31 July, a sportsmen’s evening will be held at Pirate Park. Cost is $100 per person which includes a two-course meal and drinks. The evening’s entertainment will be provided by league legends Paul Sironen and Steve Walters. For tickets contact Anthony Zipf on 0408 563 083 or Lexie Mawn on 0412 559 268.

Cooler weather hits By JACK MANGROVE THE cooler weather we are experiencing at the moment is the perfect time to hit the water, so pull on that old woolly jumper and get out there! Out on the reefs the bigger snapper will make their way onto the closer reefs so places like Sunshine Reef and Jew Shoal should really come alive. Larger snapper, sweet lip, venus tusk fish, fusilier, moses perch and coral bream have all been accounted for over the last week. North Reef has produced as well with some nice yellow fin tuna, snappe, trag jew and pearl perch. One of the local charters did a run up to Double Island Point and really cleaned up coming back with venus tusk fish, moses perch, hussar, longtail tuna, mowong, Maori cod and some nice sized grass sweetlip. So, with lighter winds forecast for the rest of the week, make sure you get out and get amongst them. For the river anglers, the cooler weather is also a good thing. Larger tailor, big bream and big trevally all like the cooler waters and the mouth of the river is a great place to start as the bigger predatorily fish chase bait schools into the river.

Soft plastics, slugs and bait will all lay claim to some quality fish. Around in Woods Bay big trevally will herd schools of bait to the surface and with the good morning tides we have this week, this is the perfect time to get the poppers and surface walker out. As the sun gets a little higher in the sky, soft plastics and Micro Jigs will also come into play as the fish sit a little deeper. For the bait fisherman, fresh mullet, pilchards and salted bonito have all laid claim to some quality fish. Up towards the lakes and ski runs there have also been some stonker flathead with a lot of the bigger females in the system. If you start getting onto the flatties and see a few around the 40cm mark, keep working that same area as a lot of the time you will find those larger females with a harem of smaller males vying for her attention. Up around the deeper holes near the lakes, there have been a few nice school sized jewies. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget minimum your size limit of 75cm and a bag limit of two. So, on behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures!

Dolphins go down coast By TONY CHARMAN

Max Pfeifer, 10, with a 39cm flathead. It was not quite big enough so it was returned to the river to grow a little more.

THE Noosa Dolphins Under 10s have dominated the Gold Coast City to Surf Rugby event which was held down the coast during the holidays. The Gold Coast carnival was the first opportunity for the young Raa Raa team to demonstrate its ability on a big stage and boy did it impress in games against Brisbane Brothers, Caboolture, Logan, Wests Bulldogs and Surfers Paradise. Brothers, Wests and Surfers are clubs that have close affiliations with private schools such as BCE and TSS where many rugby scholarships are granted for aspiring and talented young rugby players. The Noosa team played five games and remained undefeated with only one try scored against it over the five games. Parents are thanked for their efforts in getting the boys prepared for the carnival, many leaving at 4am to be at the games on time. Congratulations to organisers Sports Think Tank and Scott Williams. It was a tremendously well run event. Finally, congratulations to the real champions, the boys.

The Fiona Winter Realty Noosa Tigers have slipped back to third on the AFLQ north ladder after succumbing to flag favourite Mayne in Brisbane last Saturday. In fact, it was the eighth consecutive loss to their tiger counterparts going down by 30 points in a pretty quick, high-quality game of country footy. Mayne were simply too slick with their ball carry and overall use by both hand and foot and while the Tigers battled gallantly throughout the last two and a half quarters, they were never looking like upstaging the 2015 flag favourites. The loss of key playmaker Mark Riley on the warm-up and the unavailability of onballers Isles, Davis, skipper McKittrick and star recruit Moloney certainly didn’t aid the Noosa cause however we
