The Tewantin Community Kindergarten kids will help celebrate 50 years.

Golden kinder’s tender care THE Tewantin Community Kindergarten is turning 50 and will hold a golden anniversary party on Saturday 29 August to celebrate the milestone.

The first children attended the local kindy in October 1965 in the building that was originally the Tinbeerwah State School building bought for 146 pounds when the original site was reclaimed as a rubbish tip by council.

The new kindy was officially opened on 10 April in 1965 and has since had many extensions to create a nurturing environment for the children.

In July 1969, the kindy became affiliated with the Creche and Kindergarten Association (C and K) to which it remains today.

Co-director and educator Helen Walsh said everyone was welcome to come along and celebrate the centre’s birthday including current and past families, and was

calling for anyone with historical information on the kindy to get in touch.

“If anyone has information, photos or past attendance details to add to our collection, we would really appreciate them contacting us prior to our celebration,” she said.

The Tewantin Community Kindergarten is a community based, not-for-profit organisation, so raffles will be held on the day to help raise much-needed funds and local businesses are encouraged to donate prizes to help the centre.

The celebrations will be held at the Tewantin Community Kindergarten, 1 Doonella Street, Tewantin, on Saturday 29 August from 10am to 1pm.

For more information on the anniversary or to help out, email tewantinc_kkindy@bigpond.com or phone 5447 1385 after 3pm on weekdays.

One costly call

By JOLENE OGLE A LOCAL cyclist is outraged after he was fined $470 for riding a bike while on the phone and not wearing a helmet.

Tom Sendro of Noosaville was riding along Noosa Parade on Friday (31 July) about 9.45am when he took a phone call while riding his bike.

Mr Sendro said he was deep in

conversation on the phone and “barely cycling” when he heard a beep from behind.

“As I was in the car parking area I kept going as I was riding my bike and could not look around and don’t have mirrors,” he said. “Then I heard a siren and simultaneously thought I would go to (Ravenwood Park) as something is going on.”

Mr Sendro said he pulled into the park to get out of the way of the po-

lice car because he thought there was a commotion behind him, but the police were trying to get Mr Sendro’s attention.

“I got off my bike and the police officers had pulled up (to the park) and were yelling out for me to come over and screamed at me as to why I hadn’t stopped,” he said. “They were terrorising me for not stopping, and told me I was running away from them.”

Noosa Heads Officer in Charge Senior Sergeant Steve McReight said he couldn’t comment on specific cases but said Mr Sendro failed to stop for the police three times.

Mr Sendro was then arrested and taken to the Noosa Heads police station where he was processed and fined $117 for not wearing a helmet and $353 for using a mobile phone while riding a bike.

Mr Sendro said he didn’t know it was against the law to be on the phone while riding a bike and he also believed helmets weren’t compulsory in tourist areas referring to a 2013 report that suggested a twoyear trial exempting cyclists over 16 from wearing a helmet in low-risk areas such as parks, footpaths and shared cycle paths.

Veteran's overdue honours

By JOLENE OGLE IT TOOK more than 71 years, but local war hero David Morland has finally been recognised by the French Ambassador for his brave service in World War II. Mr Morland said it was a long time coming but he enjoyed making the French Ambassador to Australia Christophe Lecourtie laugh as he presented the Tewantin local with the top honour of the Croix de Guerre medal.

The Criox de Guerre medal is awarded to those who have performed heroic deeds in combat, and on 12 June at the Coorparoo RSL Club Mr Morland was awarded the medal along with 18 other Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) personnel who served in WWII. Mr Morland has previously featured in Noosa Today as one of the local war heroes commemorated in the Anzac edition on 23 April where journalist Katie de Verteuil recorded Mr Morland’s service with the RAAF. After enlisting in February 1943 at the age of 18, Mr Morland set off for 10 months training in the bomber command.

After numerous postings, Mr Morland was based on Five Group (Special Duties) Bomber Command at Waddington, UK, where Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss at the centre of controversy over chartering a flight.

the squadron was awarded five distinguished service orders, 146 Distinguished Flying Crosses, two Conspicuous Gallantry Medals and 36 Distinguished Flying Medals during its operations from 2 January 1943 to 26 April 1945.

But Mr Morland said he was nervous during the first few operations, knowing the lifespan of a bomber wasn’t expected to be long with five of the seven commanding officers plus 590 aircrew killed in action.

Mr Morland returned from war and moved to Tewantin in 1989.

Now a long-standing member of the Tewantin Noosa RSL, Mr Morland has loaned WWII art to the club including a painting by R. Taylor called Band of Brothers that captures the moment Mr Morland’s plane S for Sugar lands on the runway after its 97th operation.

S for Sugar completed 137 operations by the end of the war and is now in the RAF museum at Hendon, UK. Each plane was named and painted with a local pop culture figure, while the numbers of operations were recorded on the side of the plane.

“It was important to keep a sense of humour during those days,” Mr Morland said.

Trying times for Truss in travel trouble

Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss at the centre of controversy over chartering a flight.

MEMBER for Wide Bay and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss is back in the headlines this week after national media revealed Mr Truss chartered a flight from a ceremony while NSW MPs at the same event boarded a commercial flight.

The Daily Telegraph reported Mr Truss took the private plane from Port Macquarie to Sydney last Thursday afternoon (30 July), while MPs at the same event flew with Qantas.

A spokesperson for Mr Truss said time restraints and prior media com-

mitments meant commercial flights were not an option on the day.

“The Deputy Prime Minister flew commercial into Port Macquarie but the only option out was Qantas at 3.45pm,” the spokesperson said.

“But Mr Truss had a press conference scheduled for 4.30pm at Sydney airport ... a commercial (flight) out of Port Macquarie was not an option for Mr Truss to meet that commitment.”

Qantas’s website shows a flight leaving Port Macquarie at 3.45pm on a Thursday would take one hour and 10 minutes to land in Sydney, meaning Mr Truss would have landed

about 4.55pm that afternoon.

The comments come as Member for Mackellar Bronwyn Bishop resigns from her role as Speaker following pressure over her travel expenditure.

Labor candidate for Wide Bay Lucy Stanton has weighed in on the issue, saying the public has a right to question Mr Truss’s costly travel.

“Naturally, the community has a right to question those flights ... when once again it looks like he could actually have caught a commercial flight,” she said.

“Other ministers in the Baird

Government who were with Mr Truss on the day were seen boarding a Qantas flight while Mr Truss caught a charter flight.”

Since Ms Bishop resigned, Prime Minister Tony Abbott has announced a review into the entitlements system. Noosa Today asked Mr Truss if he supported the review, but no answer was supplied.

Ms Stanton said she was “completely supportive” of the review and said if she was elected she would not only follow the rules “to the letter” but also with a “good old-fashioned dose of common sense”.

HELPINGTHEHOMELESS

Hunger for some dignity SANITARY products such as pads and tampons are not always the first thing people think of when donating goods to help the homeless, but the Share the Dignity campaign is raising awareness of the varied needs of those sleeping rough.

Blue Pineapple owner Susie Beckmann is one of the collection points for Share the Dignity, a national campaign to provide homeless and at-risk women with sanitary products to allow them a sense of dignity at a time when they need it most.

The campaign is based on the principle that no woman should suffer the indignity of choosing between eating and buying sanitary items.

Susie, who has been collecting sanitary products for the past six weeks, said the response to the Share the Dignity campaign has been overwhelming and she has almost filled her second collection bin.

“It’s just great to see the response,” she said.

“It’s not something everyone thinks about but just imagine having to make the choice between eating and pads.”

Sanitary products such as pads and tampons can be dropped in to Susie at Blue Pineapple boutique at shop 13b Tewantin Plaza, 113 Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin, until the end of August.

Supporters pull their socks up

By JOLENE OGLE Blue Pineapple owner Susie Beckmann said the response to the Share the Dignity drive has been overwhelming.

Wrapped in warm feeling DRYSDALE Funerals Tewantin is encouraging people to give a blanket and get a warm feeling in its latest charity drive for the community.

Drysdale Funerals location manager Christine Sterlson said Drysdale Funerals will match every donation by donating a blanket of its own doubling the warmth available to those in need.

Ms Sterlson said it may be warming-up with spring around the corner but there are families who will keep and cherish the donated blan-

“We have had a great response so far and over 100 blankets have been donated

to the Nambour location,” she said.

“People have donated all different types of blankets including quilts and baby blankets. All types are accepted.”

All blankets donated to Drysdale Funerals will be given to the local Salvation Army branch in Noosaville to be distributed to local families and people in need.

Any blanket donations can be taken to Drysdale Funerals Tewantin before the end of August at 27 Butler Street, Tewantin, or phone 5449 9383 for more information.

ON Monday morning, Julie Annabel and Mal Beard dropped into the Noosa Today office with two boxes full of hand-knitted scarves for the homeless.

Julie’s 38 hand-knitted scarves will be given out at today’s (Thursday, 6 August) Homeless Connect Day in Nambour Quota Park.

With the scarves donated, Julie said she is now busy knitting trauma teddies for the Red Cross.

Lunch & Dinner Wed-Sun

IT was raining socks and jocks at Noosa Today as staff collect donations for the annual Homeless Comment Day in Nambour as part of Homelessness Prevention Week from 3-9 August.

The event will be held at Quota Park from 9am to noon today (Thursday 6 August) and aims to raise awareness and provide access to services and support agencies in one location.

Sunshine Coast Housing and Homelessness Network event organiser Annette Baker said the event is a chance to meet with local services and support in an informal and relaxed environment without the daily pressures to share information and advice.

“Anyone experiencing or at risk of homelessness will have access to housing services, legal advice, financial counselling, health services and other support agencies,” she said.

“Free haircuts, giveaways and meals will also be available.

“Everyone is welcome as we have some fun activities for all the family including face painting and jumping castles.”

Nambour Community Centre (NCC) reached out to the Noosa community to donate new underwear and socks for the homeless and will be handed out today at the Homeless Connect Day. NCC office manager Donna Holdom said the response from the Noosa community has been inspiring and the centre’s members can’t wait to hand out the donated items and make life a little more comfortable for those in need this winter.

The Noosa Today socks and jocks collection has ended but there are still ways people can help the homeless during Homelessness Prevention Week.

Noosa businesses are collecting donations to help make life a little more comfortable for those sleeping rough.

Noosa plans slammed

By JOLENE OGLE TWO of Noosa’s leading community bodies have slammed the Noosa Civic expansion plans claiming the extension is unwanted by the local business community and is in conflict with the planning scheme.

Noosa Parks Association last week announced their “strong opposition” to the planned expansion stating the increase in retail space conflicts with the town planning scheme and other planning requirements.

NPA honorary secretary Ingrid Jackson said the proposed development “unacceptably diminishes and may even destroy the capacity of Noosa Civic to attain its desired form and usage”.

“Our civic leaders should insist the developers go back to the drawing board and develop a proposal more consistent with the town plan and with what will be in the best interest of the Shire,” she said.

According to the NPA, the planned form and function of the Noosa Business Centre was to include the provision of a substantial amount of non-retailing development.

“This was intended to create employment opportunities that would diversify Noosa Civic Beyond the retail sector,” Ms Jackson said.

Ms Jackson said the planned development exceeds the expected retail floor space by an additional 23,000sq m.

“This contradicts all previous and current planning for the business centre,” she said.

CCIQ Noosa have also rejected the planned Noosa Civic expansion stating a poll of their members show the small business community does not want the expansion to go ahead.

CCIQ Noosa president Sarah Fisher

Above: An artist's impression of the planned expansion that will include two supermarkets, a discount store and specialty shops.

Right: The current planned expansion for Noosa Civic Shopping Centre. said a poll revealed 39 per cent of respondents support the current development application while 53 per cent said they do not support the development and the remaining respondents were unsure.

CCIQ Noosa said the majority of small business owners objected to the proposal on the grounds it did not conform with the town planning scheme, would negatively impact current retail businesses and was not supported by the wider Noosa business community.

“The proposal does not provide development for SMEs and adequate skilled employment opportunities including technology and information based employment as originally planned for the business centre,” she said.

The current development application for the Noosa Civic expansion is before

Council and includes two new supermarkets, a discount store and other specialty stores.

Ms Fisher said the overall feedback by the CCIQ Noosa members and greater business community was negative and unsupportive of the current proposal.

INBRIEF Drugs and weapons charges A TRAFFIC stop for speeding has left a Nambour man facing six charges after police found a Category M weapon in his car.

Police intercepted the vehicle on Eenie Creek Road last Thursday at 10pm but soon found the driver was unlicensed, the vehicle unregistered and officers could “smell something” coming from the car.

The man was charged with drug possession and possessing utensils used for taking drugs, and will also face weapons charges after police found knuckle dusters in his car.

Noosa Heads Officer in Charge Senior Sergeant Steve McReight said it was great work by the arresting officers who initially pulled the man over for speeding.

One vicious dog attack

By JOLENE OGLE A LOCAL woman whose dog was viciously attacked while walking in a park is calling for the owner of the other dog to come forward.

Sunshine Beach local Melinda Gregor has been left with an injured dog and a hefty vet bill after a vicious dog attack on Wednesday 22 July.

Melinda said she was walking Lola, her four-year-old cavoodle, down Ferris Street, Sunshine Beach, about 7am when an unleashed dog ran up to her.

Melinda said she and Lola were approached by an unleashed labrador first before another dog, believed to be an American staffordshire cross, came running up from behind the labrador.

“A dark coloured dog not on a leash started charging up the street,” she said.

“A lady was sitting on a seat in the park perhaps 100m away from us. The dog did not stop when it got to us and latched straight onto Lola. It was horrific.”

Melinda said she was able to pick up Lola but the dog kept jumping up to get to Lola, pulling her legs and biting her on the back and tail areas.

While neighbours and other walkers came to Melinda and Lola’s aid, Lola has been left with deep wounds to her lower back including the tearing of muscle

from bone, plus stitches in several places including under her tail and lower back, while a large wound has been left opened to heal from the inside out.

“Lola has severe injuries and spent three days at the Noosa District Animal Hospital,” Melinda said.

Neither Melinda nor the witnesses got a good look at the dog or the owner, who, she said, took the dog away without asking if Lola and Melinda were OK. “The neighbours and I were all in shock about the incident and did not get the name or photo of the owner or dogs,” she said.

“So I am asking all the residents of the wider Noosa community if you know of these dogs or the owner, could you please call Jonathan at Noosa Council on phone 5329 6322 or email Jonathon.marshall@noosa.qld.gov.au .”

Melinda said Noosa Council had been “fabulous” in dealing with the complaint, but she was worried another dog or a small child might be attacked next.

“With all the young children playing in Ferris Park, I think as a community we really need to quickly find the (person) in this incident, so this does not happen again to another dog or worse still a small child,” she said.

“Lola is recovering slowly and has many stitches and large holes that will hopefully heal, however

INBRIEF Help to design boardwalk COUNCIL will consult local residents and stakeholders on a concept design for the 400-metre section between Little Cove and Noosa National Park.

Noosa Mayor Noel Playford says the design will need to consider the variety of pedestrians using Park Road, including surfers, families and tourists, without compromising the natural environment.

“As a well-used, prominent piece of community infrastructure, the look and feel is all-important, offering a great opportunity to employ the principles contained in Noosa’s new design manual," Cr Playford said.

“The natural environment is the hero along Park Road, not the built environment, so it’s important the new structure blends in."

The reference group will include environmental and tourism representatives, as well as local residents. Consultation will begin shortly, with the aim of finalising the design by the end of the year.

Koala plan rethink sought

Lola's injuries include muscle that has been torn from the bone and large wounds on her rear.

she has been traumatised by the event and does not want to go walking in the area.

“As most dog owners would know, Animal hospital visits are not cheap and this has been a hefty expense that I feel the owner of the other dog should be responsible for.”

Lola with her owner Melinda Gregor.

COUNCIL is calling on Main Roads to rethink its choice of sites for 60,000 trees for koalas currently destined for land beside the Bruce Highway, north of Cooroy.

Councillors endorsed a motion at the Thursday 30 July General Meeting, asking the State department to work with council to identify alternative sites that will deliver a better outcome for Noosa’s koalas.

Main Roads agreed to provide the trees as an offset for Bruce Highway upgrade clearing, and Councillor Tony Wellington said the DTMR had made a public commitment to the work.

What a shame Noosa’s rising longboarding star Sam Crookshank was forced out of the Duct Tape Invitational at the US Open at Huntington Beach last weekend when he re-ignited a knee injury pre-event. But Sam’s bad luck worked in favour of Aussie Kai Ellice-Flint, who filled his slot and made the final, won convincingly

by Florida’s Justin Quintal. The other big winner at the US Open was Japan’s Hiroto Ohhara who took to the air in small waves to thrill a massive crowd and become the first Japanese surfer to win the coveted title. Photo WSL.

Jolted by the quake Life of

brine PHIL JARRATT

DID the earth move for you, too?

What a rip-snorting ball-tearer of a weekend we had in Noosa! Warm, sunny days, light winds and fun little waves, and a glorious full (and blue) moon. Perhaps expressing his/her approval, the divine master of everything even let fly with the biggest rumble from the deep we’ve had in a hundred years, like a satisfied burp after a wonderful meal.

Saturday’s earthquake registered 5.7 on the Richter, which is about the same as Newcastle experienced in 1989 when the CBD came tumbling down and 13 people lost their lives. Fortunately for us, both Thursday’s pre-shock and Saturday’s quake were centred deep on the ocean floor 100 kilometres east of Fraser Island, but such a wave of seismic activity does alert you to the fact that you don’t have to live directly over a fault line to be affected.

When we lived in California we became used to the windows rat-

tling every other week, just as we did with the landslide panic on the rare occasions we’d get a few drops of rain. Here in Australia, where quakes are rarer, we probably take a bit more notice, but I didn’t notice too much panic on social media. Just a few WTFs. My elder sister was visiting at the weekend and we both recalled the Robertson earthquake of 1961, when we were both kids sitting at the breakfast nook in our brandnew cream brick family home with a fabulous view of the ocean and the smoke stacks of the Port Kembla Steelworks, when the house started to shake violently. “I think we’d better all go outside,” our dad said, and we walked swiftly, not running, you understand.

I couldn’t see the point in going outside at all, for being the pessimist and political scientist of the family at age 10, I knew exactly what it was. The Russkies, who had already put a wall around Berlin and shot one of our spy planes down, had dropped an atomic bomb on us and any second now a firestorm would sweep down the Illawarra escarpment and turn us all into human

kebabs. I preferred to go out eating fruit loops than standing in the street in my PJs, but I did what I was told.

This was not to be the last time I felt that nuclear Armageddon was nigh, but in fact it was a 5.6 earthquake just 60 kilometres away on the Southern Highlands, which caused $4 million damages and destroyed the famous Robertson bell tower. The Cold War is now such a distant memory that on Saturday all I could think about was getting my board on the car and heading for the beach in case we were about to experience a tsunami pulse.

Meanwhile, in God’s waiting room BUT that didn’t happen either. In fact it was a serene scene indeed, down at Noosa West Beach over the weekend when I made my comeback in the line-up at Access 11, also known as God’s Waiting Room.

With a modicum of rubber on, the water was very pleasant, and apart from the jockeying for position on what passed for an occasional set of waves, we old farts could sit out there on our boards, our legs dangling safely in the clear water, and discuss affairs of state and assorted local scandals.

After a few months away, I have to say I’ve missed my sessions out there, where the act of riding a wave is very much a secondary consideration to the fellowship and joke-telling – a bit like seniors golf, but without the 19th hole or the motorised assist. But also like seniors golf, old fart surfing can still be extremely competitive, as I was reminded when old mate Marto conned me into sharing a wave with a cute little Japanese girl, while he took the next and better wave by himself.

He’ll get his. But I’ll tell you what, it’s hard to beat sitting out there on the edge of Laguna Bay with your mates on a clear and still winter’s morning, with stunning scenery in all directions, and the ability to still struggle to your feet and ride a wave to shore. We are blessed.

Black magic at Q-Pac JUST when I was thinking a weekend couldn’t get any better, I remembered we had tickets for Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu’s Gospel Songs concert at Q-Pac’s concert hall. What a treat it was to arrive at Brisbane’s cultural precinct just on sunset and eat dumplings and other

hawker food in the park before taking our seats for an hour and a half of magic from the blind singer from Elcho Island. I’ve watched Gurrumul’s fame escalate over the past six or seven years, but this was the first time I’d been privileged to hear him live, supported by his collaborator and bassist Michael Hohnen and a tight little band, with the full force of the Queensland First Nation Choir behind him. It was spellbinding.

Born blind, Gurrumul first sang in public with his uncle’s globally successful band, Yothu Yindi. Back in the '80s, when I spent a lot of time in northern Australia, I got to know the late M Yunupingu and his older brother Galarrwuy, both of whom were Australians of the Year a decade apart. I spent time with their Gumatj clan at Yirrkala, and hunted and fished with Galarrwuy, then a fearless spokesman for his people, now in poor health and leading a quieter life.

Hearing Gurrumul lift the spirits of a packed house the other night put me in mind of those wonderful times. It did my heart good.

Gurrumul in performance.

Local Tom Sendro is outraged after being fined $470 for not wearing a helmet and talking on his while riding his bike along Noosa Parade on Friday.

One costly call

Above: Noosa rangers John McQueeney, Peter Cavendish and Trevor Hatfield with visitors from Ireland, Michelle Reddy, Barry Keane and Pat Walshe.

Left: The Williams/Pole family - Robyn Williams, Greg Pole, Bridie Pole, Charlie Pole, Cassidy Pole and Keisha Pole - is visiting from Abu Dhabi and pictured with Noosa rangers.

Rangers in the spotlight WORLD Ranger Day was held on Friday 31 July, and local Noosa rangers took the opportunity to chat with locals and visitors about Noosa National Park.

Noosa’s National Park is world famous, and thanks to the hard work of local rangers, the more than 1.5 million visitors who walk through the park each year can enjoy the stunning natural surrounds.

Ranger Interpretation Trevor

Hatfield said about 100 people came along to the World Ranger Day celebrations on Friday, with many joining the rangers on a walk and talk tour.

“It was a great day, and we were able to raise funds for the Thin Green Line charity,” he said.

The Thin Green Line is a worldwide organisation that looks after rangers who face a myriad of dangers while on the job.

Trevor has been a ranger for 13 years, but started out his working career in the graphic arts industry.

“I was in the production side of graphic arts, so I was always in dark rooms with chemicals,” he said. “I wanted to get outside and enjoy nature, so I went to university and started volunteering at the Boondall Wetlands. Then I started applying for jobs.”

Trevor is now based at Noosa’s

National Parks, and said his favourite thing about his job was getting out and about and talking to people to help them learn about the environment.

World Ranger Day is an important day to celebrate, Trevor said, as it was a chance to remember the vital role rangers played in conservation around the world as well as remember those who had died while serving.

From page 1 Mr Sendro said he was appalled at the treatment of the arresting officers and had lodged a complaint.

“This is supposed to be a tourist area and treating people like this is (bound to) mount to massive problems for Noosa tourists over really nothing,” he said.

Sen Sgt McReight said riding a bike on the road was the same as driving a car, so it was illegal to use a phone while riding a bike.

“We have issued several tickets lately for people using mobile phones while on a bike,” he said. “We want to remind people that it is an offence.”

In regards to helmets, Sen Sgt McReight said it was the law to wear a helmet regardless of where you were in Queensland, with the only exception being for medical reasons, because physical characteristics made it impossible or if the rider was a member of a religious group and wearing a customary headdress made it impractical to wear a helmet.

“As police officers, we don’t make the laws we enforce them,” he said. “And these laws are after extensive consultation with the public, medical authorities and other bodies.”

Disappointing result NOOSA Council has reported its end of year “capital works schedule" resulted in only 62.9 per cent of the planned work being completed and an underspend of $9.04 million from the $24.4 million budget.

This poor result demonstrates a lack management control and planning to achieve planned capital works outcomes. The funds were available since they are part of the rates collected. If it was a problem of time or la-

bour, then why didn’t council use contractors?

A close examination of achieved planned outcomes also highlights where higher priority work was either not started or only partially completed, but lower order work was completed. Council’s management skills are sadly lacking.

Good news week I JUST got a ‘good news’ letter from my power provider advising that my power costs would be reduced by about 40 cents per week, which is $20.80 per annum. However, I am now to be charged a new metering service charge for my hot water meter (tariff 31) of $11.60 per annum. I am also to be charged a new solar metering service charge as I have solar panels of $24.14 pa. To add further injury my supply charge has been increased by $132.37. That’s a total increase of $168.11 pa.

This means I now have total charges of $503 pa before I even use any electricity.

Also, though they have lowered tariff 11 (the so-called good news) they have raised tariff 31 (hot water) and tariff 33 (pool). I give Energex back twice as much power as I use and of course still get a bill. So much for doing the right thing by the environment. Like so many others on solar, we are waiting on the new generation domestic supply batteries to come on stream relatively soon, so we can go ‘off grid’. Poor Queensland. Plenty of sunshine but locked into a coal economy.

IT IS hypocritical of Labor’s Lucy Stanton to criticise my travel to a post Budget breakfast in Brisbane in 2014 (Noosa Today 30 July). On the morning after the Federal Budget it is usual practice for senior Government Ministers to travel around the country to explain the Budget to local audiences. Labor Ministers did it every year. Liberal and National Ministers do it when we are in office.

In 2014, I committed to a regular post Budget breakfast in Brisbane for the Conservative Club. As there were no commercial air services which would enable a trip from Canberra to Brisbane after 9pm on Budget night in time for the breakfast the next morning, I had arranged to travel to Brisbane on a government aircraft.

However, the government plane became unavailable prior to its scheduled departure and it was therefore necessary for me to secure a charter aircraft at short notice to fulfil the engagement. The use of the charter was completely within the guidelines and was properly reported and declared.

Any profits made by the Conservative Club for its functions are donated to charity.

Warren Truss, Deputy Prime Minister.

Bad form letter YESTERDAY, as a result of my voicing of concerns about the trade deal that is on the table, I received a letter from Warren Truss. It was a standard reply that looked as though it had been cut and pasted from a Trans Pacific Partnership propaganda sheet. It blithely informed me that the Investor State Dispute Clause in the TPP was nothing to worry about.

I did not find this reassuring. Perhaps unlike Mr Truss I am aware that because of an ISDS clause in a treaty that we signed with Hong Kong, the transnational tobacco company Phillip Morris is now suing the Australian government over its plain packaging on cigarette packages legislation. Designed as a health measure, if effective, it could save Australia a massive amount by preventing debilitating health conditions, as well as improving the health of numerous Australians. It is seen by Phillip Morris as an action that interferes with the tobacco giant’s profitability. This action, if resolved in favour of Phillip Morris, will see $50 million of Australian taxpayers’ money go up in smoke.

The reassurances about caring for Australians, made by the Abbott opposition prior to the 2013 election, went out the window the moment that they became the government. Their track record on protecting our hard-earned money is likewise not looking good. As Cana-

THANK you to Bridge Muir who sent in this gorgeous sunrise photo taken at Sunshine Beach on Tuesday 4 August. Noosa is known to showcase some stunning sunsets over the river, but this proves there is a great reason to get up early on these cool mornings.

da and Mexico have learned through expensive litigation, an ISDS clause DOES override governments and judiciaries.

I am not sure whether Mr Truss has not done his homework, or if he is being disingenuous, but either way I find his response deeply troubling. If it smells like a stitch-up, and looks like a stitch-up, then it most likely is a stitch-up.

Joy Ringrose, Pomona.

Any solutions?

I LOOK forward to reading a letter from Joy Ringrose that (for the first time) actually outlines proposed solutions to the various shortcomings she claims exist, such as those relating to the Noosa Hospital (Noosa Today, 30 July).

Ms Ringrose’s proposed solutions to the various problems that clearly eat away at her and like-minded Greens should, of course, include her thoughts on how such solutions are to be funded and by whom. To do so would show that the Greens can, from time to time, move away from the negative and, in addition, show that they can actually do their sums. But I won’t be holding my breath.

Eric Ash, Boreen Point.

Simply deluded YOUR columnist Benny Pike and letter writer Ian Lawson both suffer from the same simplistic approach that Jeff Nuske takes to development issues. They believe that all development is good development, and that Noosa should become more like everywhere else.

But Noosa has a strong brand and great tourism industry because it has not gone down the same development route as everywhere else. The differences that define Noosa are its real strength.

As to the Noosa Civic expansion, those who think it is a good thing should bother to read the development application. This expansion

will provide nothing that isn’t already here Coles and Aldi supermarkets and a discount chain store. It’s just more of the same. Ian Lawson suggests we look at other shopping centres in Qld. Doing so reveals that in places like Maryborough, out-of-the-box shopping centres based on the fringes kill the town civic centre.

It was stupid of Noosa Council to put Noosa Civic where it is, because it can’t help but impact on places like Noosa Junction, Tewantin and even Cooroy.

When Noosa Civic opened, lots of smaller shops were forced to close - including three family-owned camping stores across the shire.

In any case, the business model that supports these large shopping malls is old hat. Just look to Europe and the USA and see how many of these big shopping centres are closing down.

Online shopping and a desire for more personalised shopping experiences are the way of the future.

Gary Bright, Noosaville.

Just beautiful I LIVE in a beautiful part of Noosaville in Lake Entrance Boulevard where the council provides a doggy bag dispenser (at Noosa Retreat wall) for those community-minded people to use so that they can keep the environment clean for others who also walk their dogs. However some people do not care to use the bags and let their dog’s poo just lie where their dogs put it.

As if this was not bad enough, some people use the bags and then leave the bags with poo inside near the dispenser or they just throw the bags into the nearby bush. Can these disgusting and un-community minded people please think of all the other people who take care and respect others who also take their dogs walking, and please do the right thing, use the bags and take your dog’s poo home and dispose of it properly.

They served their country Between the Ron Lane’s

flags people

RON LANE

MAJORITY of Australians have seen the badge. It is small and predominantly white, and many say with pride that a member of their family wears one on the lapel of a coat. It is the badge of the RSL - Returned and Services League of Australia.

It tells us that the wearer has served their country in time of conflict; thus making it one of the most respected badges within the Commonwealth of Australia. But how many of us fully understand the significance and work that is carried out by some of the men and women who wear this honoured emblem.

The concept for what was to become the RSL originated way back in 1916 during World War I. Following the Armistice, which was signed in 1919, our servicemen and women returned home and the idea gained momentum, spreading throughout the country from capital cities to country towns.

In August 1920, in the then quiet country town of Tewantin, the assistant state secretary of the Queensland RSL, Harry Buchanan M.M. and Bar while on his honeymoon, met with Ben Ross and a group of locals with the purpose of forming a Sub Branch of the RSL. At this assembly, which was to become the foundation meeting, W.J. (Bill) Ross was elected president, H.J. Johns vice-president, W. Fielding secretary and H.G. Fielding treasurer. To support them G. Gibson, G. Burgess and E.T.Johns D.C.M. were elected to the committee. Stepping up to help were a group of local ladies, and it was this group that was to become the forerunner of the Ladies Auxiliary formed in 1935.

Now some 95 years later the Tewantin Noosa Sub-Branch of the RSL League of Australia (Qld Branch) and the Tewantin Noosa RSL and Citizens Memorial Club, are not only continuing along the path set by their predecessors of the 1920 and later 1935 meetings, but are doing so in a manner that not only has the support, but most important of all the respect of the community in which it serves.

“One of our major problems,” said president of the Sub-Branch Steve Drake OAM, “is that people don’t understand, that in fact this building actually houses two clubs, us and the Citizens Memorial Club, and each club has its own board of directors.

“For us in the Sub-Branch, all board members must be Members of the Sub-Branch. Our clubrooms extend from our offices here at the information desk through to the stairs at the end of the Diggers Bar. From there on it is the Citizens Memorial club. Each club has its board of directors and conducts their own meetings independent of each other. We have meetings every month and each has their own agenda.”

If one is to look deeper, there are in fact two different mottos; for the Sub-Branch it’s, “The Price of Liberty is Eternal Vigilance” and for the Citizens Club it is “Serving the Community.”

There are seven chairs on the Board of Directors for the Tewantin Sub-Branch; president Steve Drake OAM, vice-president Ian Rowe, secretary David Macgregor, treasurer Dean Harlow cemetery administrator Bruce Huntington, Mens Shed Vern Johnson and Welfare Wayne (Whiskey) Carter.

Also working in conjunction with the board is the support group and it is these members who enable the workload to be evenly distributed. David Farrer, Gary Roper and Ken Bridges working Welfare and Pensions, Graham Johnson Memorabilia, Paul Jenkinson Youth Development and Graham Pattle Membership.

The mission statement of the Queensland Branch of the RSL, known as the “Objects “contain 8 statements and number 1 definitely sets the tone of those that follow; statement 4 stresses the importance of commemoration days, for it is on these occasions that we in the community who have not served, gather with those who have to show respect and gratitude.

Statement 1; Provide for the sick, helpless, wounded, aged, vulnerable, destitute and needy among those who are serving or who have served in the Australian Defence Forces and their dependents.

Statement 4; Preserve the memory and records of those who have suffered and died for Australia, erect monuments to their valour, provide them with suitable burial places, and establish and preserve, in their honour, the annual commemoration days, known as Anzac Day, Remembrance Day and other commemorative days.

With the recent increase in attendance at these ceremonies, the workload for the volunteers of the Sub Branches that ensure all goes well is also on the increase. This they acknowledge, and accepting the challenges of the day, regardless of

crowds and conditions, always conducted the ceremony with dignity.

On these days all members of the Sub-Branch work as one.

“We are involved in a lot of projects apart from looking after our servicemen. One of the many is the RSL Youth Development Programs.

This is a major one and it is something of which we are very proud,” Steve said.

This project is under the management of Paul Jenkinson Youth Development Officer. It is his responsibility to take the concept into the schools and explain all necessary requirements to those wishing to make application.

Each year the Queensland Branch contributes $500,000 towards Youth Development Grants and each is usually in the vicinity of $2500. “To be eligible,” said Paul, “the students must be either Year 10 or 11 and applications are open from 25 April Anzac Day and closing on 11 November Remembrance Day.” Another responsibility is that of Welfare and Pensions and this comes under Wayne Carter. This portfolio covers pensions entitlements, and all aspects of health and well-being of members. Affectionately known to his workmates as Whiskey, he has been involved in this area for 20 years. “In my work, I sometimes visit private homes, hospitals, nursing homes and also keep an eye on the aged. As the titles imply, it is all about their welfare; every aspect, we don’t want to miss a thing. ” Working in conjunction with Whiskey regarding welfare is Gary Roper, Ken Bridges and advocate David Farrer.

The memorabilia that I take pleasure in explaining to my grandson as he gazes into the glass cases that line the walls at the main public entrance is the responsibility of Graham Pattle.

The importance of this display cannot be emphasized enough for it sets a feeling of pride within the club. Though it maybe for some, a brief glance in passing, what we see reminds us of what those to whom the club is dedicated, endured.

As you step in through the doors the first thing that usually grabs you is the laughter; for some old Digger is usually taking the mickey out of one of his mates. And what better place to do it than The Men's Shed.

Started some six years ago, The Men's Shed has been a great success.

It is where a group of retired servicemen meet every Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday, from 9am until noon, with their objective being to perform

The Tewantin cenotaph.

small tasks of wood work for families of servicemen, such as picture framing and medal framing. Under the control of Board Member Vern Johnson, this is an important part of Sub-Branch for it helps gives the men an active interest and a chance to meet and chat.

To the left of the main entrance of the Tewantin Cemetery, is a small gate that leads to the RSL Memorial cemetery. This, the most sacred of all places, has for the past 10 years been under the care of Bruce Huntington a former army National Serviceman.

Every Anzac Day after the Dawn Service serviceman and families assemble there to pay their respect.

The outstanding work and dedication performed by Bruce and his helpers

has created an atmosphere of respect and dignity.

“To give you some idea of the great job Bruce has done, nearly week we get people passing through Tewantin who have family members buried there. They call in to thank us for the way in which the cemetery is cared for and this is a great complement for a job well done,” said president Steve Drake.

For the men named here, their days of military service are well and truly over. However, they still serve; therefore their work and dedication must be acknowledged. In following issues, we will meet the people of the Citizens Club for like the SubBranch volunteers, they are also, Our People.

State backing for Rio Olympics at fund-raiser LAST week’s column was based on the story on development of the Noosa Civic Shopping Centre.

Sadly, there has been negative response from quite a few small businesses in the area.

I’ll stay off the Civic today, rather talk about its developer and former owner Mark Stockwell.

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of going to the 1 Year Out From Rio Olympic Fund-raising event at Parliament House in Brisbane.

The 1984 Olympic Silver medallist is the chairman of Rio Fundraising campaign, he’ll be joined

by Sydney Gold medallist Natalie Cook, '88 Bronze winner Julie McDonald and other high achievers in the sport and business fields.

Their cause of raising $1 mil-

Benny’s

beat BENNY PIKE

lion was helped greatly by a massive $450,000 donation by the host of event Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk.

I stood proudly as the Premier read out an who’s who of former winners, and the reason why the State Government is fully behind next year’s team.

That team will number 462 with two modern pentathlon athletes already named. That, I am sure, will please Noosa Triple Olympian Alex Watson.

The sport has five disciplines

14 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 6 August, 2015

fencing, freestyle swimming, pistol shooting, running and Alex’s favorite show-jumping.

More so, in the list of eight athletes the Premier mentioned all but only Kieran Perkins was from the city.

Mackay’s Cathy Freeman and Susie O’Neill, Toowoomba’s Nicki Hudson, Maryborough’s Larry Sengstock, Rockampton’s Kenrick Tucker and Innisfail’s Jon Sieben are just some of the country bred stars.

It gave me great pleasure to boast to my fellow Olympians about how many locals the Coast could have in Rio, and more so on the Gold Coast 2018.

In case you are unaware, the Coast has 21 swimmers in Russia at present, two going to the world ath-

letics titles, four to the world kayak titles and Montville Archer Ryan Tyack helped qualify the Aussie team for Rio. This time next year, the Sports Federation will be hosting its usual welcome home from the Games.

We had 10 in London, and aiming for 20 for the Gold Coast.

In following this, the Federation will be hosting its own breakfast on Friday 21 August to celebrate and recognise our local sports industry.

This is the first time, local sports/ clubs/organisations will be rewarded for their excellence in delivering sport.

If you don’t know, for most clubs that’s a full time 12 months job.

Noosa’s Jordan Mercer continues her golden form with another big

win at the World Paddleboard Titles in Hawaii.

This delightful lifesaving star is a terrific representative of her sport, and especially the local area.

Could I suggest to council, she would make a good ambassador?

And no doubt there are others too who perform on the world stage and deserve the honour I am suggesting.

I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to September’s annual jazz festival.

Judging from the early ads, it looks like an action-packed event again.

Locals must be shaking their heads as we have just wound down from the terrific long weekend, which knocked them dead again.

Until next time. noosa.starcommunity.com.au

available to support while it’s happening as well? There can’t be enough of that.”

Laurie said it was these questions that led him and Lachlan to offer free therapeutic recreation for women who were currently suffering from breast cancer or were survivors of the terrible disease.

Therapeutic recreation gives women the chance to meet others in similar circumstances while experiencing the positive outcomes of physical exercise, and classes are held at Boardwalk Boats behind the Sheraton Resort every Wednesday morning from 7.30am.

In addition to this, Lachlan

and Laurie want to see breast cancer become 100 per cent survivable, which is why the Paddle in Pink event is so important to them, as it will raise funds for research.

All proceeds from the event, including any board hire from Boardwalk Boats, will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

They encourage everyone to be involved and to register online prior to the day at www.paddleinpink.gofundraise.com.au.

By doing their part for the community, Laurie and Lachlan hope to see a future where no-one has to experience the loss they have.

ALTHOUGH extremely controversial in Australia, the feeding of wild birds at home is probably the most popular form of human-wildlife interaction in the world.

THE loss of a mother and aunt to breast cancer and a lack of support services for those suffering from the disease have driven local man Laurie Stevens to turn Noosa Sound pink this August.

Laurie, along with his son and owner of Boardwalk Boats Lachlan, are the driving force behind the community event Paddle in Pink that will be held on 30 August at Noosa Sound.

Laurie said due to their family history with the illness, he and Lachlan felt a personal obligation to raise awareness of breast cancer within the community and hoped to raise much-needed funds by encouraging locals to dress in pink, jump on a board and help turn Noosa Sound into a sea of pink for the event.

Sadly, both Laurie’s mother and aunt have passed away from breast cancer and along with this loss is the feeling that if they had known more about it, and the process involved, they could have done more as a family to provide support.

Laurie said after losing his aunt, he felt the family should have been more prepared.

“Particularly when my aunty suffered from it, then my mother came with it some years later, you think, shouldn’t you be more onto it, shouldn’t you be doing more about it?” he said.

Top tips for house hunt exhaustion

AUCTION

IF you’re in the middle of house hunting, you’re probably feeling exhausted.

So if you’re heading out house hunting this weekend, keep your cool with these top tips.

Get organised Once you’ve found a list of properties you would like to inspect, create a calendar in your phone listing all of the open times and addresses you want to visit.

Some phone apps will let you also include a photo, so add a picture of the property you want to view so you

David Conolly Co-Principal

don’t get confused. Once you’ve seen the property, spend a few minutes writing down what you like and don’t like about the home so you can call on the notes when it’s time to make a decision.

Be adventurous You never know unless you go, so give that quirky-looking home a try. You might find you prefer the old-charm of a historical home compared to the modern-style home.

Inspecting homes you don’t initially think are your style will help you to find what you really want in a family

From dusk to dawn If you’ve found a house you love then make sure you pop back at dusk to see what the home is like at night time. You never know when you might discover extra-loud neighbours or a mosquito problem you didn’t notice during the day.

Ask questions Your sales agent is there to help guide you through the house hunting process, so don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions. Sales agents are full of great advice that comes from experience, so take advantage of their knowledge.

Cracking down on the shonks the Queensland Office of Fair Trading on its crackdown on property spruikers and marketeers, following the announcement on 30 July that legal action had been launched against 10 operators, and a further seven had agreed to legally binding constraints.

REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said these types of operators existed on the fringe of the property sector and the general public didn’t always distinguish between these spruikers and genuine real estate agents.

“These operators bring the entire profession into disrepute,” she said.

“This highlights how important independent advice is and if someone is considering a major property purchase they should always seek a second and even a third opinion.

“All REIQ members adhere to a strict code of conduct and ethical standards of business practice as a condition of their membership.

Tribute sure to be a hit, too

By TANIA PHILLIPS WE’RE pickin’ up good vibrations which are probably coming from The Beach Boyz who are playing the Tewantin Noosa RSL on Saturday night.

The Beach Boyz are one of Australia’s best-known tributes to the iconic US rock band, the Beach Boys.

The original Beach Boys had the most US Top 40 hits of any rock band, with 36 in total plus 56 Hot 100 hits.

Their songs including Good

Vibrations, Help Me Rhonda, California Girls and Do You Want to Dance have become classics and are still being played on radio stations today.

According to Billboard, in terms of singles and album sales, The Beach Boys are the number one selling American band of all time.

And their namesakes have had a good run too - the five members hailing from the United States and Australia, have been performing together for close to a decade.

The show is a dedicated 100 per cent live, five-piece band that

faithfully recreates the wonderful good times and summer feelings of all the Beach Boys hits and more.

From the lush five-part vocal harmonies to the authentic vintage instrumentation and wardrobe, this “tribute” aims to be a faithful recreation and celebration of America’s favourite band.

This is live music there are no electronic “sequencing” or backing track, all vocals and instruments are very real.

The Beach Boyz play at Tewantin Noosa RSL, on Saturday 8 August, from 8pm.

Beardies just love to bask

By SHEENA MURRIHY

Booty loves to cuddle on the couch...

Boy, he’s a real Booty Bearded dragons make great pets once you take care of their diet and environment needs. min D, which is necessary for metabolism of calcium and phosphorus and is a must for all Beardies.

Bearded dragons are semiarboreal and like to perch a little bit off the ground. A selection of sturdy rocks, half logs, and branches can give them something to climb on, especially in the part of the tank used as a basking area.

The expected life span of a bearded dragon is around 10 years when cared for properly, although longer life spans

have been reported. Bearded dragons should be offered a varied diet consisting of crickets dusted with a vitamin and mineral supplement, mealworms, a variety of greens and vegetables and occasionally pinkie mice.

A reptile licence is required to own one in Queensland. All in all, bearded dragons are a simple pet to keep, as long as all housing and feeding requirements are met. Your pet Bearded Dragon will quickly become part of the family.

THIS week’s Furry Friend is Booty from Marcoola. Booty is 13-years-old and was adopted from a rescue shelter almost one year ago. Booty’s owner Shannon Jones said Booty, who’s deaf and partially blind, loves to eat roast chicken and sunbake on warm days.

“We rescued him because we didn’t think it was fair for such an old dog to be in a shelter, especially given that he has such poor hearing and sight,” Shannon said.

“We love that we can give him a warm, comfortable home to see out his twilight years and he really brings us so much joy.

He’s such a quirky little guy.”

Share a photo of your furry friend for a chance to win two tickets to BCC Noosa 5 Cinemas. All photos can be sent to competitions@noosatoday.net.au. Don’t forget to tell us a little about your furry friend.

BEARDED Dragons or “beardies” make great pets, even for beginner reptile owners, as they are generally friendly and are especially noted for an endearing greeting behaviour, in which they lift their front leg in an almost circular motion, so it looks like they are waving.

Having said that, the bearded dragon does have complex nutritional and environmental needs.

With an adult size of 18-24 inches, a good sized tank/cage will be required and as a desert species, these lizards like a lot of heat and light so the use of basking bulbs or ceramic heat emitters are necessary to provide the type of heat that this species requires.

As a diurnal animal, bearded dragons need the UV-A and UV-B rays.

The UV-B light is brighter and it can help stimulate the appetite of the bearded dragons.

Another advantage of the UV-B light is it provides energy for the formation of vita-

Lisa’s bid has clear results

By JOLENE OGLE MANY take access to clean, safe water for granted, but for more than 740 million people around the world, dirty water is a reality.

Tewantin local Lisa Hill said she was guilty of taking the precious resource for granted and wanted to do something to help those who didn't have access to a clean water supply.

Lisa joined the WaterAid project, H2Only, where participants drink only water for the month of July while raising funds for water sanitation projects in some of the world’s poorest countries.

Lisa, who is a self-confessed “tea addict” said it was tough to ditch the warm drinks and stick with only water for 31 days.

“It was tough as I’m a big tea drinker, so I had to break the habit,” she said.

“On the first day, I had a headache by lunchtime and

then I got the flu. But after that I actually started to feel good and my energy levels increased.”

Lisa, a childcare worker in Cooroy, said she received great support from the community including the children at the childcare centre who all did one day with water only to show their support.

One boy named Ayden, 10, even made the commitment to drink only water for the month and Lisa said it was great to have a buddy helping her through the month.

“He did an amazing job,” she said.

“On cold mornings, all the kids would be having hot Milos, but Ayden would stick to water. He was great and made it so much easier.”

Lisa said she set out to raise $300 and was amazed when she managed to raise $800 for WaterAid. “It’s a great feeling,” she said.

Lisa Hill can now enjoy a cup of tea after raising $800 for water sanitation projects.

Ginger’s just super in soup

Ginger is a superfood that also tastes great.

Cheers to many as big Dry July ends co-founder of Dry July, said going dry benefits both the participants and patients at cancer services across the country: “We are over the moon about the number of Aussies who got involved with Dry July this year,” he said.

“The feedback we’ve received from our participants is that they love the health benefits of not drinking and were motivated by the fact that the money they’re raising goes to a good cause.

“We’re so grateful for ev-

ery dollar donated as it makes a real difference to the lives of people living with cancer.”

Since 2008, more than 115,000 participants have collectively raised over $24 million, helping Dry July support 47 different cancer services across Australia and New Zealand.

With donations open until the end of August, Aussies can still make a contribution at www.au.dryjuly.com

MUCH to the relief of some, Dry July has officially ended with more than $3.8 million raised for cancer patients throughout Australia.

Over 21,400 people participated in the nation-wide charity drive opting to go booze-free for 31 days.

According to Dry July, losing the booze was such a positive experience for some that almost one-third of participants are expected to extend their dry spell into August.

WE’RE in the middle of the cold and flu season so help keep those bugs away with a healthy carrot and ginger soup. It will keep you warm on those cold nights plus give you a kick thanks to the health benefits of ginger.

Ginger has been used for many years as a traditional medicine to treat cold symptoms and helps reduce aches and pains, plus ginger is known to help reduce nausea and aid digestion.

This delicious soup is best served warm with toasted bread on a cold winter’s night.

Carrot and ginger soup - serves 4-5 Ingredients: 3 tablespoons unsalted butter.

6-7 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced.

2 cups chopped white onion.

1 teaspoon minced ginger.

2 cups water.

2 cups vegetable stock.

3 large strips of zest from an orange.

Salt.

Chopped chives, parsley or dill for garnish.

Method: 1. Melt the butter in a large pot, add the onions and carrots and cook until the onions soften - about 5-8 minutes. Be careful not to let the onions or carrots brown. Sprinkle a teaspoon of salt over the carrots and onions as they cook.

2. Add the stock, water, ginger and strips of orange zest to the pot and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until the carrot softens, which should take about 20 minutes.

3. Remove the strips of orange zest and, working in small batches, pour the soup into the blender and puree until completely smooth.

Add salt to taste throughout the blending.

4. Garnish with herbs and serve with warm bread.

IF YOU haven’t thought about your chompers for a while, now is the time to assess your oral health with Dental Health Week kicking off from 4-10 August.

Run by the Australian Dental Association, Dental Health Week is a community awareness campaign that aims to

educate Australians about the importance of maintaining good oral health habits.

Dentists recommend regular brushing and flossing, plus visits to a dental clinic, as the foundations for good oral health.

According to the Austra-

lian Institute of Health and Welfare, one in two 12-yearolds have tooth decay in their permanent teeth and three in ten adults aged 25-44 have untreated tooth decay.

Don’t become one the statistics. Make an appointment to see your dentist.

Protect your teeth THE focus for the 2015 Dental Health Week is the impact of sport on oral health.

Local practice, Sunrise Dental, talk the ins-and-outs of dental erosion and the importance of mouthguards when it comes to playing your favourite sport.

Most people drink sport drinks because they taste good, and the idea of electrolytes for fast hydration and a performance boost make them even more appealing.

Not only are sport drinks acidic and high in sugar but people tend to sip on them frequently during a game or exercise, increasing the time teeth are exposed and vulnerable to dental damage.

Frequent use will cause your teeth to erode and increase your risk of tooth decay. To reduce the risk, avoid swishing sports drinks in your mouth, use a straw, and stick to regular dental check-ups to detect damage early.

Each year, thousands of

Be oral health wise when it comes to sport. Chat to your dentist about preventative care and mouthguards. adults and children are treated for sports related dental injuries. Wearing a mouthguard is the best way to prevent or minimise trauma.

If an adult tooth is knocked out, don’t hold the tooth by the root and don’t rub the root surface. If the tooth is dirty, gently rinse it and replant the tooth into the gum. If it can’t be replanted immediately, store the

tooth in milk, not water and don’t delay seeking dental treatment as time is critical.

It’s also important to remember the benefits of a mouthguard.

A mouthguard is a cushioning appliance made of flexible material that fits snugly over the teeth to help prevent injuries to the teeth and mouth.

Studies of mouthguard users and non-mouthguard users have consistently shown that mouthguards offer significant protection against sports-related injuries to the teeth and soft tissues.

Sunrise Dental will be happy to make you a custommade mouthguard to fit your mouth perfectly and protect your teeth and gums properly.

For the month of August, Sunrise Dental is offering a discount on mouthguards with a special price of $75 (usual price $175).

Contact Sunrise Dental on 5455 4511 to make an appointment.

They have the solution DENTAL Solutions is proud to have been a local practice in Noosa for more than 30 years.

Being part of the community is important to them and they are involved in helping and supporting many local sporting clubs.

Dr Tim Keys said the practice sponsors the Noosa Dolphins, Sunshine Beach Surf Lifesaving Club and Tewantin Golf Club.

He said they are well positioned to champion the Australian Dental Association’s Dental Health Week: The Seven Sporting Sins.“Sport is one of the easiest ways to stay

fit and healthy,” he said.

“Sadly an active person’s sporting life can have an impact on their dental health.

Rehydrating with sugary or acidic drinks can damage teeth permanently.

“Contact sports without mouthguards can also result in a painful and expensive experience.”

As a local practice, Dental Solutions, feels strongly about these issues. Dental Solutions is offering a $0 gap dental exam to assess and offer any advice on these issues.

Pirates sail to victory LACHLAN Britten starred running in five tries for the Under Seen Yellow Pirates Junior Rugby League team on Saturday.

Zipping through the defense he helped the Pirates to a strong performance against the Dolphins in the midday game at Kawana.

Meanwhile bright lights shone down the Under 13 Pirates Junior Rugby League team on Friday night as were involved in a feisty battle against Caboolture.

It was an entire team effort for the Pirates with the whole team showing commitment in the hard-fought game.

Encouraging support from the Noosa spectators with constant feedback to the players during play left a good feeling at the end of the match for all.

Players of the match in a

team of stars included Floyd three points, Henry two points and Ethan one.

The Under 8 Yellow team played a hard game against Coolum Colts.

Down one player, another back from injury but putting in a gutsy effort ensured the boys were kept on their toes in every play. A few tries, lots of tackles and some awesome sideline runs was a good, solid effort from the boys.

The Under 10 Blue Pirates had a good game against Coolum. Line defence as practised at training was very good.

The boys are starting to get some confidence and are playing as a team. Good to see all the boys having fun! Player of the match was Kalieb with great enthusiasm as always and helping out to make sure the team spread out in defence.

The Under 10 Yellow team travelled to Palmwoods this week and with a super defensive effort that kept the opposition scoreless. Great work by man of the match Jarrah, with some really good tackles and some hard hit ups.

What a season it’s been for the young Under 11 Pirates.

Week after week they turn up and do everything asked of them. This week was no different.

Bribie Island arrived to play an intense brand of footy.

The young Pirates all jumped into their boat and set their sails north to treasure island.

Congratulations to Cade, this week he was the MVP. At the end of the game these scurvy boys threw down the anchor and celebrated loudly with victory to the tune of a little ditty known to some as the ’Mighty Village Waltz’.

Game singles out the best In the

ditch POMONA BOWLS

ON Wednesday, the ladies tried a new concept of “scroungers”. This is a game of drawing to the jack and requires good concentration as the bowl furthest from the jack is removed each end. Played in groups of four, each with four bowls, to win you must be the last person with a bowl on the green. Congratulations to our winner of the day Elizabeth Dewhirst.

Thursday, open handicapped singles was thoroughly enjoyed by the bowlers, who played on a pleasant sunny afternoon. As this is the start of this event any suggestions for improvements or new ideas would be welcome. Current format is three games of 40 minutes. Congratulations to our winner Daryl Millar and runner-up Mel Hobbins.

Friday twilight bowls - and what a beautiful winter afternoon it was on the green.

Good bowls, good music and lots of laughter. Winners were Shane Luppi and Rex Goulding (visiting from Victoria), with runners-up Glenn Patterson and Veronis O’Connor. Shane is one of our newer bowlers and is showing great promise and a force to be reckoned with in the future. The jackpot of $80 was won by Gary Cornell and Jim McDougall - well done guys.

Saturday - first round of the sec-

The ladies triples finals winners Margaret Dawson, Annabel Wearne and Gwyn Bruce - who was also celebrating her 35th wedding anniversary. ond division men’s pennants - away to Tin Can Bay where the team knew they had a hard task against the home advantage. Good steady bowling and driving saw the team led by Trevor Walsh win 19-15. Mel Hobbins team, without the injured Keith Muir, tried desperately but went down 2219. Bill Alford’s team started slowly, being down 16-1 after eight ends, but managed a great recovery to eventually go down 26-20. Overall a loss by only five points. Great effort by all with another five games to go. Come on Pomona!

On Sunday afternoon, another new format - rotating pairs - was thoroughly enjoyed by all those who played. While the winners of the vouchers were the ladies players of Sharen Foale, Linda McDougall and Maree Hodder. These ladies were on

fire and if the game had been skirts v shirts - the skirts would have won hands down. Well done ladies.

- Kitty and Jack TEWANTIN NOOSA BOWLS

Young Lions the pride of the club

By PETER GARDINER AS many of the competitive age teams are gearing up for their final encounters, the Noosa Lions younger teams - who play the small sided Mini-Roo game - are coming to the end of what has been a fantastic fun season at the Noosa Lions.

The 300-plus players go out to hone their skills each week with focus on participation, scoring goals, but not necessarily getting too concerned about what the final score is.

Noosa this year became the largest club on the coast fielding 37 teams from under-6 to under-11s. Each team is looked after by mums, dads, big sister or brother as coaches and managers after the pre-season program run by the club’s director of junior coaching.

The club wishes to take the opportunity to thank all our volunteers for their efforts throughout the year whether on the field or in the canteen.

Meanwhile Noosa Premier Men’s after a long unbeaten streak must have channelled the Broncos and decided to let the opposition have one on Saturday coming up against a determined Maroochydore side.

Clear direction in under-8 Gold.

Eagles are straight-shooters

Under-13 Blues in control.

By PETA HOLMES The Black Swans certainly hit, putting an end to the run in emphatic terms getting up 5-1. Best to get this out of the way before the finals commence in less than a month.

But two wins to finish the regular season are important to guarantee a spot with only five points separating second-placed Noosa from sixthplaced Caboolture.

Under-10 girls chasing down a Bribie player.

Helpers make our game even greater

By ANNETTE ADSETT COOLUM tennis club has undergone a little bit of spring clean a couple of months early, thanks to the efforts of a band of volunteers.

John Boland fixed the table for the soccer game that is so popular with the children. Henry and Zac recoated the verandah. Noelene watered the new garden. Jett’s parents cooked the barbecue. noosa.starcommunity.com.au

It is volunteers that make a club and all the little contributions are appreciated, whether it is doing the dishes, pulling a weed out of the garden or just making visitors welcome.

The spruce-up comes just in time for the annual Patron’s Day later this month, which is already attracting interest.

In the world's hot spotlight Between the

IT IS the greatest news for Maroochydore Surf Life Saving Club in a decade. As a matter of fact it could not be better.

For the first time in 28 years, Maroochydore will stage an international surf life saving event when they play host to the International Surf Rescue Challenge.

To make it even better, it will not be just one carnival, but a series of three.

This three-test series will be held in the month of September with the dates set for Thursday 3, Saturday 5 and Sunday 6, and with five countries competing it will definitely have an international flavor.

The countries to contest the challenge will be New Zealand, US, Japan, South Africa and Australia; and it is expected that the teams will be selected from the Opens and the Youth categories.

“The last time this event was held in Australia was in 2007 and the host club was Bondi Beach in New South Wales," Maroochydore club president Ralph Devlin said.

“Prior to this, the challenge was held in Durban, South Africa, and Mount Tauronga, New Zealand. For Maroochydore to host such an event gives us a double header for our beach is also one of the three beaches chosen to stage the 2016 Australian titles,” Mr Devlin said.

As we spoke on the phone I couldn’t help but get the feeling that the Right Honorable Mr Ralph Devlin QC was in fact dancing on the ceiling.

A life-member of his club, Ralph has always been known for his loyalty to the Black Swan (Maroochydore Surf Club) and in a time when club loyalty is becoming a thing of the past, his exuberance was not only understandable, but also to be celebrated.

“Our last international was in 1987 and it was just between Australia and New Zealand because at that time the policies

of apartheid prevented South Africa from competing,’’ Devlin said. “But this time they will all be here; and rightly so.”

Apart from being one of the host clubs for the 2016 Australian Titles, 2016 will also be the year that the Black Swan celebrates its centenary of patrolling Maroochydore Beach. With a record of no lives lost while life savers on patrol they definitely have a reason to celebrate. Well done to all concerned.

Another accolade for Sunshine Coast life saving has been the appointment of Santo Della Bianca as Carnival Referee for the three-test series. Bianca's appointment - plus the fact that a lot of the carnival officials will come from the Sunshine Coast - is indeed something in which we can take great pride.

Devlin, who apart from holding the post as Maroochydores president, also holds the office of president of Surf Life Saving Queensland, was right when he said: “By hosting the challenge series plus the national titles, it has put the Sunshine Coast back on the map for conducting international and national surf sport events”.

A big congratulations and welcome home to Noosa's Jordan Mercer following her fifth consecutive win in the Molokai to Oahu Paddleboard Marathon in Hawaii.

Despite having won five in a row, this young lady still has her feet firmly on the ground and her big smile and friendly personality makes her the real deal; a champion in every sense of the word. Well done to the whole Mercer team.

On Sunday morning supporters of Noosa's Martha Kneale - the young lifesaver who on the 15 August will attempt a 12km surf-swim from Mudjimba to Mooloolaba gathered at a fund-raising barbecue to help raise the necessary $1000 entry fee.

All these proceeds raised by the swimmers will go towards Nambour Special Schools. A magnificent gesture by all concerned.

With her dad backing up in the escort boat we know her effort will be second to none.

Maroochydore president Ralph Delvin.

Big week of junior rugby

By JOE JURISEVIC NOOSA was well represented in the Sunshine Coast Under 15 school boys team, emerging runners-up in the State Carnival on the Gold Coast last week.

The team were undefeated going into the final and went down in a close encounter 17 - 11.

The championships were the start of a big week in junior rugby which culminated in the round of matches at the weekend.

Glorious weather locally made for fast flowing junior rugby for the Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union teams.

With the end of the season approaching, the Noosa Fins Under 7s are coming together as a team all running, passing and tagging with great spirit.

They were in great form to defeat Caloundra 45-40 in a high-scoring match.

Player of the Match went to Rory McIntyre, for great tagging and back up support for his team mates.

The Under-eight Reds also had a good win in a tough game against Grammar - running out victors 20-15.

As usual the Reds expected a tough game against Grammar but Atticus, captain and Player of the Match led from the front and harassed Grammar into errors, scoring three tries along the way.

The team followed his lead and mostly magnificent in defence, driving over some great ball and never allowing Grammar any space.

U15s Sunshine Coast Schoolboys - Picture courtesy of Sandy McCulloch Jamie tackled blokes three times his size and took one for the team.

Clay and Clancy played the fringes and did more than their part to hold the fort. Will tried to play to his usual standard often held the centre.

Tom fulfilled his duties admirably. Hamish played a solid game and carried the ball into the danger zone and backed up his work rate with plenty of tackles. Charlie put fear into the Grammar backline and was ready to tackle any Grammar player who dared to run.

Oscar lit the early fire and got the Reds on the board with the first try.

The coaches 360 report states that only lapses in concentration kept Grammar so close. A really hard fought and deserved win.

Fins Under Nines came away with a good win over Uni 40 to 30 despite a disastrous start which saw USC score just 20 seconds in.

However, Tyler stepped up, straight away receiving a great ball from the re-start and side stepped his

way through to equal the score with a great try, and go again late in the first half to a second.

Connor, Kaleb and Jack combined well together to push forward in attack, all with impressive individual runs, tackled hard in defence and were disciplined in the scrum.

Saatchan ran straight and hard to score and showed impressive foresight to come through the gate, form up on the blind side of the drive to secure the ball.

This allowed Mack to shoot in and pass the ball to Zac who bolted through to score a great team try that had the side going into half time two tries up.

The second half saw Zac score another to tally three tries for the day. Finn and Odette had great games, making good metres. Louie and Hunter scored for the team with Hunter showing skill to rip the ball driving forward and power through the gap.

Louie sizzled in attack cutting

Under Nine Fins. across the field to run down and tackle any break.

Joch had a blinder to find gaps all game, showing impressive fends pushing off boys twice his size.

Remy showed great courage with another strong game providing power in the drive forward and tackled really well. Player of the Match was Jaxon, who showed skill in the tap forward, threw great passes and received many to dart forward making great ground to offload. In the Under 11s, the Fins went down 38 to Nil despite a tight first half that saw them come close to taking the lead but ended up on the wrong end of two cheap tries.

Top-of-the-ladder Caloundra were too solid to break down in the 2nd half, and found an extra gear.

Player of the Match: Josh Whitehi.

Great catch all night

By MANGROVE JACK WHAT a weekend it was last weekend, with light winds, moderate swells and a full moon; an all-nighter offshore was always on the cards, most anglers headed for the Barwon Banks or up to Double Island with some outstanding results.

Amberjack, yellowtail kingfish, gold spot wrasse, venus tusk fish, pearl perch, hussar, squire, snapper and spangled emperor were all accounted for as anglers enjoyed the balmy conditions.

For the day trippers, Sunshine reef fished well for trout, large snapper sweetlip and parrot.

Soft plastics, Micro jigs and live baits have been claiming most of the fish, with the good old pilchard and squid also doing the trick. Up on North Reef there are heaps of pearlies, snapper and the odd cobia.

There have been the odd undersize fish at the moment, so make sure you are aware of bag and size limits for the species you are targeting.

The river has also been firing with the full moon, Woods bay has produced some outstanding trevally

The mouth again has been going off, with some Big Jew taken by angler fishing large live baits, Luderick have also been plentiful around the river mouth. Peeled prawn has worked but weed seems to be the ultimate bait. Fishing the last two hours of the run in tide has been the best. Flesh baits like mullet and bonito strips have been working well on the bream with some largersized fish coming in on the tide. The Gympie terrace stretch of the river was packed last week with families enjoying the perfect fishing weather.

Prawns yabbies and live worms were all productive on the bread and butter species like whiting bream and flathead. On the beach, the Northshore was again the spot for those four wheel drivers looking for a weekend away, tailor were the target fish of most anglers, good catches reported with the area between Teewah and Double island producing some great fish, Big winter bream were in the mix along with flathead dart and whiting.

Not only were bragging rights on offer to the winner but this game had a huge factor in the finals layout, with the winner of this clash almost certain to finish in the top two and get the double chance in the finals and the loser would ultimately finish third and have to endure the knockout phase of the finals.

So plenty on offer for everyone.

Good luck!

The game got underway in near perfect conditions and it was clear from the outset the game was to be won or lost through the midfield.

Maroochydore hit the score board first with a goal but that was quickly answered by Noosa with a goal to Shane Davis. The skills were on full display as the ball went from defence to attack quickly for both sides. At the 10 minute mark scores were locked at 3 goals each, as Nick Sutton swooped on a bad handball from a Maroochydore defender and kicked Noosa 6 points clear. Noosa got on top from here as Moloney and Nick Hill work hard through the midfield and Zach McDonald was giving them first use. A long running goal to Moloney extended Noosa lead to 12 points and Noosa controlled the game. Inaccuracy was Achilles heel in the first quarter as the then hit the post twice and had another touched right on the line.

Noosa got put to an 18 point lead late in the term before Lachy McClarty went down with what looked like a knee. Maroochydore scored a

Again we started well but our inaccuracy in front of goal early saw us in the lead at quarter time by only a small margin.

Noosa 6-743 to Maroochydore 5-1-31 As the second term started the wind picked up a little and favoured the southern end, unfortunately favouring the way Maroochydore was kicking. After a tight first few minutes, Maroochydore kicked a goal then quickly followed by another to level the scores. Robert Copeland worked hard across the half back line to stem the flow, and Angel Duke helped out across the backline to work Noosa back into the game.

A strong Mark by James Gellie resulted in a goal and the lead back in Noosa’s favour but once again inaccurate kick was again Noosa’s main issue. Harry Opie was doing a great job on Maroochydore danger man Jackson Ryan and Wayne Wilson was keeping Jarryd Hill quiet but Maroochydore’s accuracy in front of goal was the telling factor. Maroochydore kicked 3 goals in time on to finish the quarter with 5-1 to Noosa’s 1-4 to head into the half time break with a 9 point lead.

Maroochydore 15-2-62 to Noosa 7-11-53.

At the main break, the main mesclearances and pile on four unanswered goals to increase our lead by over 40 points at the last break.

With a few sore bodies entering the last quarter we were still hungry enough to increase our lead to 10 goals by the final siren in what was a very polished display of team first football.

Our entire midfield was solid for four quarters and our backline did not let Maroochydore have an easy shot on goal.

Our forwards worked hard all day and it was a great team performance giving the boys a lot of confidence heading into the finals.

With a double chance locked away, we will now be looking to cement top position with two big wins in our final two roster games at home.

sage was keep spreading and make the most of every opportunity and Noosa did that, with goals to Malthouse and Boardman to give the Tigers the a small lead. Lachy Cameron was working hard in the ruck and Nick Sutton was playing his best game for the year as Shane Davis extended the Tigers lead midway through the third term when he bust through the pack hard and collected the ball to kick a great goal giving the Tigers a 10 point lead and heap of momentum. The game suddenly heated up as Maroochydore needed an answer or the game could slip right by them. As the clock ticked into time on Maroochydore’s big names stood up, Dzufer, Gale and Ainsworth clicked it up a gear and Maroochydore piled on 4 goals in 10 minutes to wrestle the momentum and the lead back. As the siren sounded Maroochydore held a 14 point lead. Maroochydore 15-2-92 to Noosa 11-12-78 The last quarter started in bizarre circumstances as the two field umpires waited until the two teams split from their huddles to address the captains.

RICHARD MURRIHY The kids played the penultimate round this week to the finals and the U17s continued on their winning way with a 13-11-89 to 9-5-59 win over second place Maroochydore to secure a top spot finish.

Well done to the boys.

The U15 boys had a good game bouncing back after last week’s lack lustre first half to give the undefeated Caloundra a run for their money going down 7- 44 to

made their way toward the Shane Davis to inform him he had been reported for charging by a goal umpire during the third quarter and Davis was given a red card. This meant he was off for the rest of the game and Noosa had to play with 17 men for the first 15 minutes of the quarter. This had a massive effect on the game as Maroochydore ran riot in the last quarter, slamming home seven goals to Noosa’s 4 behinds to run out comfortable winners.

With Noosa down to 17 men in the last quarter coupled with that Maroochydore had not beaten Noosa since Round 6, 2009 it’s easy to see Maroochydore had a lot of incentive to get over the line. Inaccuracy was a big factor for the Noosa loss but Maroochydore, to their credit outplayed Noosa in the second half.

Final score Maroochydore 22-9-141 defeated Noosa 11-16-82.

Noosa’s better players were Zach McDonald, Lachy Cameron, Robert Copeland, Brett Duke, Jesse Malthouse, and Nick Sutton.

Next week the Fiona Winter Realty Noosa Tigers return to Weyba Rd with an important game against Moreton Bay. 10-5 65.

This shows the finals will not be as one sided as they think.

Another week to go and a bit more improvement will see the boys go deep into the finals.

The U15 girls had a loss to Coolum while the U13 blues put in a good effort in their loss to Maroochydore.

The Noosa red U13 boys had a 51 point win over Caloundra and last but not least the U11s had a day out against Pomona in a 93 point win.
