MORE TO LOVE The editor’s desk Noosa Heads Surf Club has been propping up Peregian Beach Surf Club for the past four years. They’ve had enough and who can blame them. Noosa has invested time, money and effort in Peregian because they don’t want to see lives lost to drowning. They’ve worked hard to make Noosa a successful club and could have invested their money to further their own interests. Now they’re investing more to help Peregian get back on its feet. It’s a great opportunity for Peregian to establish a surf club of which it can be proud. Peregian Beach showed its interest in the venture by the numbers of people who turned up to a meeting called at the clubhouse on Thursday. Some questioned why the current building couldn’t just be renovated, some were concerned moving the club’s location would affect their ocean views and others were in favour of it replacing the skate park. It might be a few years in the making, but the conversation for the revamped club has certainly begun. ● Magaret Maccoll

THIS WEEK WE’RE TALKING ABOUT… OYSTERS NEXT MONTH The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) much-awaited bring back the fish program has taken a leap forward with plans to locate oyster reefs in the Noosa River next month. The project, led by University of Sunshine Coast (USC) marine science Professor Thomas Schlacher will from late August lay 15 oyster reefs in the lower part of the river. Professor Schlacher said historical evidence showed oyster reefs had been quite extensive in the Noosa River, but most of them disappeared in the 1930s and ‘40s and hadn’t come back. “Most of the river now is sandy bottom and this is not natural for the area,” he said. “At 15 sites throughout the lower river we will place coconut bags filled with oyster shells. These will attract the oyster larvae. We are trying to seed these reefs.” Prof Schlacher said restoring oyster reefs was a common practice around the world, but this was a first for Queensland and the project would use world’s-best strategy. He said other sites used only a couple of reefs, but strategically locating 15 oyster beds would provide stepping stones for the larvae and modelling had shown arranging them into triangular groupings would maximise the project’s success. “They will grow. A few oysters will settle in the first year or two. It is a medium to long-term project.” Prof Schlacher said the reefs would have markers

PARDON CASE ADJOURNED FOR WEEK

The Sunshine Coast Crime Prevention Unit were up early in the morning last week to welcome families and visitors at the Noosa Northshore Ferry and deliver a crime prevention message as they headed for sand driving training, camping and swimming fun for the start of the school holidays. Information pamphlets were handed out reminding motorists to look out for children on the beach and to remember that road rules still apply, even though it is beach driving. Police said there were plenty of sporting enthusiasts out for the morning training session, with cycle groups, surfers, and tennis players keen to cross on the ferry. One of the more notable groups encountered were the Queensland motorbike riders who were specifically training for the annual Great Australian Ride, raising money for SIDS.

COVER STORY “WE CAN HAVE COAL MINING OR WE CAN HAVE A HEALTHY REEF, BUT WE CAN’T HAVE BOTH.”

CANVAS POSER:

CORAL

OR COAL? BY HOLLIE HARRIS

ometimes people meet those gentle souls who ignite that fire inside to become better. Those souls who have a spirit geared to uplift and care for others and their environment while forging change for a better world. Verrierdale artist Jane Welsh is one of these special people who makes a difference every day, slowly, slowly, creating a better future for her family and yours. Passionate about creating uplifting art pieces through abstracts and clay sculptures, Jane recently learned of an environmental crisis she felt compelled to paint about. During a snorkelling trip to Bali earlier this year, Jane and her family were deeply saddened to see the extent of coral bleaching happening below the surface of Menjangan Island waters. Always passionate about protecting nature and caring for the environment, the issues facing the reefs lingered with the softly spoken artist long after her adventure to Bali was over. “I tried to get back to painting for beauty, but I felt blocked and upset about the news of half of the Great

Barrier Reef being bleached in the last two years,” Jane said. “I have been aware of the proposed mega coal mine in Central QLD for a while,” she said. With some of our politicians wanting to burn more coal, the idea of painting reef animals gathered around them and wondering if they can be heard came to Jane in the middle of a restless sleep. She wanted to give the reef animals a voice. “The more I looked into the Adani mine, the more rattled I felt; it just does not make sense to dig up the biggest mine in Australia when nearly every country in the world is working hard to reduce carbon emissions, and is turning away from fossil fuels.” Jane began work on the painting she had imagined that restless night, which would eventually be named “Coral or Coal?” The end result was a powerful environmental piece which she hoped would speak volumes for her and so many others who were following the Adani mine issue. “I have painted this to raise awareness, as many people don’t realise the threat this mine poses to our reef, which provides 69,000 jobs and $5billion to our economy each year, or that our PM wants to loan a billion of taxpayers

money to subsidise the mine,” she said. “As Climate Council CEO Amanda McKenzie says, “We can have coal mining or we can have a healthy reef, but we can’t have both.” “Coral or Coal?” has made appearances at the front line of several peaceful protests, including last month’s protest outside LNP Federal member for Fairfax, Ted O’Brien’s office in Maroochydore. “We added a sign saying, “Adani is poor quality” at the last minute after hearing Ted O’Brien saying he thought the mine would be good for the environment, as Australian coal is such good quality,” she said. “Data shows the coal coming from Adani’s mine is poor quality and is poorer than some other countries supplying India and only slightly better than Indonesia’s. “He also talked about 10,000 jobs, which is again nonsense; the figure reported in court is only 1464 jobs over the lifetime of the mine (30-60 years), whilst 60,000 jobs on the reef will be put at high risk,” Jane said. Jane’s painting “Coral or Coal?” now makes its journey down to the art gallery of New South Wales to enter into the Sulman Competition, which runs alongside the wellknown Archibald Competition.

Heron Islands reef is a far cry from the paradise that once was.

Left: “Coal or Coral?“ is giving reef animals a voice to be heard. Jane’s message is loud and clear.

“Please send some well wishes for it to be accepted, and hung in the AGNSW, for thousands of people to see. For the love of all the beautiful creatures of the world’s coral reefs,” Jane asks. Jane is currently finishing a new piece in this series which continues this message. “This new painting is actually about the proposed Colton coal mine near Fraser Island. This is possibly going ahead without an environmental impact assessment; only a good word from the company, which was recently declared in court as being dodgy. The claim is that the untreated water into the Mary River and then Great Sandy Straits will have no impact.... yeah right!” Jane said. When nearly every country in the world is working hard to reduce carbon emissions, and is turning away from fossil fuels, Jane feels it is her responsibility to get up and do something to push for these changes here in Australia. “A wise woman told me, ‘our children and their children will want to know we did everything we could to protect our world,’ and I realised as an artist I could and wanted to do more,” she said. Jane’s genuine, honest joyfulness about life can be

found in every curve of her sculptures. With her use of bright colours and rich opulent textures in her abstract paintings and her ability to capture feelings on the faces of her works of art, she is able to evoke beauty and wisdom within each piece. With a long string of exhibitions, a handful of awards and over 150 privately commissioned paintings, Jane holds her talent and success humbly close to her chest. As a young woman dabbling in the art world, Jane focused on achieving a science degree majoring in biochemistry. After working within the Indigenous health sector and a good dose of travelling under her belt, the life of an artist lingered in her soul and led Jane to the Sunshine Coast. “I always knew that deep inside I was an artist and it was just a matter of time. I moved to the Sunshine Coast in 2001 to be near the Eumundi markets, and soon I had a stall there, seeing it as my ‘apprenticeship’ as a selftaught artist,” she said. She finds great inspiration in teaching others the quiet peace of sculpting with mud and opens her studio doors and her heart to anyone willing to explore their inner artist with her six-week clay sculpture classes for beginners, Magic of Mud.

Teaching clay sculpting classes has always brought her fulfilment, but like many artists, Jane has had her fair share of dancing around a creative block. It wasn’t until her recent awakening to paint “Coral or Coal?” that she felt such an inspiring shift through “the block.” “This first political painting has got the fire in my belly burning, and I feel it is the first of many, to be balanced with joyful works, colourful abstracts and a series to celebrate our connection with nature.” It has become her passion to work toward a better planet for her two young children, and will continue to paint using this fuel to create pieces that speak volumes. “The Great Barrier Reef is OUR reef. Its health is hanging in the balance, and new coal mines will destroy it. Please phone your local MP, drop into their office or send them an email. “The Adani Coal mine does not make sense, no matter what angle you look at it, jobs, finances, climate obligations, water, public health, Native Title, ethics, trust for Adani, public funding, they all stack up against the mine. How can we knowingly kill off the only living thing visible from space, as a trade in for last century’s technologies? What will we tell our children?” *The next Magic of Mud course starts 18 July.

Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving club called a meeting of 20 people to discuss the creation of a sustainable surf club at Peregian Beach last Friday and more than 80 community-minded residents turned up. The numbers speak volumes about the level of community interest in the project. Noosa Surf Club CEO Byron Mills said it was time for Peregian Beach Surf Club to fund itself, to obtain members and provide resources to operate the service which Noosa had been carrying since poor management and debt led to its closure in 2013. “Ten months ago the management committee discussed the longevity of Peregian,” he said. “We decided to put together a working group to look at the long term objectives of Peregian.” Mr Mills said Noosa club engaged a town planning consultancy and made contact with all levels of government to determine what could be done with the club’s existing site and surrounding parkland. “We had to work out if it was viable before we went to the community,” he said. Noosa club president Ross Fisher dispelled misconceptions Noosa club had “taken over Peregian”, saying they

and its design was a matter for the community to discuss. What the Noosa club can offer is the know-how of running a successful club and for Peregian club to be viable it needs about 300 active members and 300-400 Nippers and their parents, he said. To house the necessary equipment and include toilets, the clubhouse would need to be about 1180sqm which is almost four times its current size of 307sqm. He said to gain and maintain volunteers, they had to attract them and volunteers were more demanding than in the past. “They want a state-of-the-art gym, a hot shower, a beer on the deck, a hat, a shirt and recognition,” he said. "With training and insurance the average lifesaver costs $1800 a year," he added. Town planner Jack Lewis said there were a number of initial hurdles to overcome including negotiating a trustee lease, determining native title issues and then putting together a planning application to put forward to Noosa Council which would be months to years away. Establishing a community working group and a management plan for the park would be the next steps. ●

A BUDGET TRIUMPH BY MARGARET MACCOLL

It was back-slapping and congratulations all round for councillors when last Thursday they ratified Noosa Shire Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2017-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;18 Budget that proved their critics wrong. Mayor Tony Wellington said the budget showed there had not been the predicted massive rate rises and financial trouble post de-amalgamation from Sunshine Coast Council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council is financially better off now than at the time of de-amalgamation - without any need for significant rate rises,â&#x20AC;? Cr Wellington said. Residents who are among the 10,000 properties to receive the new garden waste recycling service will be hit with a 5.1 per cent increase on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rates bill which includes a 2 per cent general rate rise, $10 extra for a Sustainable Transport Levy and an extra $40 on waste charges. The 11,000 properties not receiving the three-bin service will have an overall increase of only 1.5 per cent and those who previously opted for a three-bin service will have a decrease in waste charges and a rate rise of only 0.4 per cent. Businesses will be charged an extra 2 per cent on their Economic Development and Tourism Levy with half the tax fee going to fund Tourism Noosa.

Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current debt with Queensland Treasury is about $38 million. Under the budget it will borrow $1.2 million to help fund the cost of the upgrade to Noosa North Shore Campground and prepare the new planning scheme. Council aims to repay $3 million during the year reducing the loan to $36.2 million. A council spokesman said more than 90 per cent of councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital program had been delivered last financial year with the final figures to be presented to council in a fortnight. Cr Wellington attributed the success of their budget to councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adoption of build-from-base budgeting â&#x20AC;&#x153;now recommended by Queensland Treasury Corporation as a gold standard for Queensland local governmentsâ&#x20AC;?. Council will employ an extra 8.3 staff, and Cr Frank Wilkie said the major projects included Johns Landing and widening of the Park Road boardwalk from Little Cove to Noosa Heads National Park. Council still retains two electric charging stations costing $110,000 which were left over after the electric bus cancellation and is investigating options regarding their use. Other projects in the budget include road intersection upgrades in Tewantin, and improvements and resealing of Black Mountain Road.â&#x2014;?

LEVY CASH FOR TRADERS

LEVY FOR HASTINGS STREET Council has responded to requests from the Hastings Street Association to provide additional street maintenance services in the tourist strip with the understanding the increased service will be funded by a special levy. Council will spend $255,000 in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget, with 70 per cent of the levy to be paid by benefitting properties within the Hastings Street precinct and 30 per cent paid by benefitting properties in the surrounding areas. The additional services are above the standard level applied throughout the local government area. They include fairy light replacement and maintenance, maintenance of timber seating and bollards, increased street cleaning and sweeping of car parks, additional

Council will provide levy funding to the Noosa Junction Traders Association to implement projects and initiatives raised in the Noosa Junction Commercial and Economic Planning Strategy (NJCEPS) a decade ago. The Noosa Junction Association will, in consultation with council, implement projects and initiatives as set out in the 2017-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;18 work plan including recommendations of the Noosa Junction Commercial and Economic Planning Strategy. Council 2017-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;18 budget papers show funds of $91,000 raised by the levy will fall short of those required to implement the overall strategy, so the association will seek to raise funds from other sources including membership fees. Council estimates the overall plan will be completed by 30 June next year and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;levy will be made in future years as the service, facility and activities are ongoing programsâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x2014;?

CONTRIBUTIONS IN CASH, KIND AND TIME TO HELP OUT THE HOSPICE Just weeks after taking possession of their new home at 199 Beddington Road, Doonan, the Katie Rose Hospice is being flooded with donations and offers of help and will soon welcome its first day hospice guests. Hospice volunteer director Carol Raye said the sentiment from the community was sounding loud and clear. “They really want their hospice back and that has been shining through in the way they’re supporting us,” she said. Carol said assistance had come from all sectors across the community. A man from Noosa Waters donated a seven-seater van with disabled access. A team of 15 gardeners including Susan Lancaster are beautifying the outside of the home and a florist has offered to bring fresh flowers. Many people have donated items including two topof-range hospital beds, electric lift chairs, a refrigerator, several televisions and ramps. “A local gentleman has offered to buy most of our furniture for us. He brought an interior designer with him to look at the house,” she said. “People have been dropping off beautiful artworks.” The house is nearing completion on two private rooms and requires renovations to convert a bedroom and garage into two more private rooms with ensuites and various alterations to create courtyards and decks. “A gentleman gave us $100,000 for the renovations,” Carol said. “And people have been offering services.” In addition the regular pool cleaners have offered to continue their services. There is a volunteer general manager who is a bookkeeper and a volunteer admin officer. The hospice has employed a registered nurse and hopes by August to be taking people in. ●

Members of Noosa Welcome Refugees opened their homes to six Brisbane- based families who arrived in Australia only four months ago from their home countries of Syria and Iraq. The group of 21 who were invited to mark World Refugee Day explored the Noosa Heads National Park during their weekend visit. Sali Jameel who visited with her parents and siblings was excited to see dolphins, a koala, turtles and whales “for the very first time”. Hosts said it was great experience and some of the children had found penpals during the visit. ●

MANDATORY REPORTING KICKS OFF Volunteer director Carol Raye at the new Katie Rose Hospice.

Susan Lancaster is helping to beautify the gardens.

Mandatory reporting across the early childhood and education care sectors has begun from 1 July. Under Mason’s Law, professionals working in the early childhood and education care sector will be required to report concerns they may hold about the safety and wellbeing of children. Child Safety Minister Shannon Fentiman said Mason’s Law would see existing mandatory reporting responsibilities held by teachers, police, doctors and nurses, expanded to people working in Queensland’s early childhood and care sector. Anyone can report concerns by calling their local child safety intake line. All calls are confidential. From 1 July 2017 all educators, supervisors, directors of childcare centres, family day care co-ordinators and educators, as well as out-of-school hours providers will join our list of other professional reporters who have mandatory responsibilities to make those calls. ●

RADIO TRAINING AT OPEN DAY

Pineapple Crush will be among guests performing at the Community Radio open day.

12356139-FA26-17

Noosa Community Radio 101.3FM is holding an open day to give residents a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of radio and some live entertainment and food while helping to fund its planned expansion of services. Radio president Stephen Casely said the radio aimed to be a communication resource for the whole area and give a voice to local community groups. They also aim to start a youth station for streaming only and provide training to young people. Steve said on the day visitors would have a chance to be a DJ for 10 minutes in a rehearsal studio and record what they are doing on a CD. “Financially, we want to raise a lot of money on outside broadcast equipment to cover local events,” he said. In the near future, people will be able to watch the event on YouTube with only a few seconds delay, he said. “We stream all over the world. We have feedback from soldiers in Afghanistan. They say it’s a warm friendly voice in a cold place,” he said. Steve said the community radio while run entirely by volunteers had a number of retired professionals in its membership. The group provides training in all areas of radio including presenting and producing. “A lot of people think I’d like to be a radio presenter, but I can’t do it,” he said. “We have some high end training programs beginning from scratch.” The open day will be held on Saturday 15 July from 9am to 4pm at the Noosa 101.3 FM studios next to The J theatre, at 60 Noosa Drive, Noosa Junction. For more information, phone 5447 2233. ●

A national firearms amnesty has been called to allow owners of unregistered firearms or firearm-related articles to legally dispose of it or register it from 1 July to 30 September without penalty. Commissioner Ian Stewart said this is the time to act. “Not only will all participants avoid prosecution and the risk of being fined up to $60,000, they will also help keep our community safe by ensuring unregistered firearms don’t fall into the wrong hands,” he said. “Here in Queensland, we have made it as easy as possible to participate. “Firearms and firearmrelated items should be handed in at licensed firearms dealers,” he said. A list of all participating dealers is on the Queensland Police website at www.police. qld.gov.au. Alternatively, contact 1800 909 826. “In the case where a dealer is not accessible, these items can be handed in at a police station. Contact the station to give prior notice before attending,” he said. ●

NEWS RECYCLE DROP-OFF POINT CREATED

COUNCIL OFFERS FESTIVAL, GARDEN GRANTS The Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA) received two Noosa Shire Council grants to conduct a Noosa Garden for Wildlife program and a threeday Noosa Wallum Festival. “Council has given NICA $3000 to scope out Garden for Wildlife and take action to implement it in Noosa and a similar amount to help run the Noosa Wallum Festival event,” NICA chair Tony Haslam said. “Garden for Wildlife is a program for suburban gardeners, supporting landowners who wish to create wonderful gardens for our local wildlife.” Through newsletters, information folders and specialist workshops the program will encourage gardeners to welcome, identify, enjoy and protect local wildlife. The Noosa Wallum Festival will be held over the weekend of 25-27 August at the Bicentennial Hall Annexe at Sunshine Beach. “The Noosa Wallum Festival will provide an insight into different aspects of living in and with Noosa’s Wallum vegetation and raise awareness about its importance in our natural environment and how it has direct impact on our community and economy,” he said. It will include displays, demonstrations, walks and a range of speakers including landscape architect Lawrie Smith who will discuss ‘Design with Nature’. ●

Council is urging residents to donate useful items they no longer want to the recycle shop, rather than dump them in landfill. Recently council redesigned the entrance to the Eumundi-Noosa Road Resource Recovery Centre and Landfill to make it easier for residents to stop at the recycle shop on the way into the landfill. “Donating household items, to the recycle shop, that still have life left in them is a great way to keep these items out of landfill, and, by doing so, you’ll save yourself dumping fees,” says Waste Management supervisor Rob Walsh. “Electrical items, books and outdoor furniture - anything from the home that is still in working condition, or could be with a simple repair - can be dropped off quickly and easily on the way to the landfill.” ●

COUNTRY DRIVE FOR VISITORS Hinterland villages have been invited to take part in the Noosa Country Drive project through a series of networking nights hosted by Tourism Noosa. More than 100 people attended the meetings held in Kin Kin, Pomona, Eumundi and Cooroy. The Noosa Country Drive initiative is an interactive website launched in November 2015 that offers a personal way to experience Noosa’s beautiful country and hinterland areas. The drive highlights the Noosa country villages of Boreen Point, Cooran, Cooroy, Doonan, Eumundi, Kin Kin, Pomona and Tinbeerwah as well as the Mary Valley region. Visitors to the site at www.visitnoosa.com. au/country-drive can browse by villages or take a suggested drive with three drives outlined showcasing a Northern Loop, Central Loop and Southern Loop.

Last year’s gold medal winners.

Cooran is one of the hinterland towns in Noosa Country Drives. The Noosa Country Drive is a tool for existing and new visitors to the region and showcases the activities and attractions in our beautiful rural areas with more than 140 experiences showcased. A range of businesses attended the events

including accommodation operators, tour operators, artisans, retail operators, market stallholders, farmers and agri-businesses. To be part of the drive, contact Isa Grube at isa@tourismnoosa.com.au or phone 5430 5009. ●

The volleyballers in action.

BIG SQUAD COMPETES AT GAMES A large contingent of student athletes from the University of the Sunshine Coast headed to Rockhampton and Yeppoon last weekend for the annual Northern University Games, from 2 to 6 July. USC’s squad of 144 athletes competed in nine different sports - basketball, 3x3 basketball, football, futsal, golf, netball, tennis, touch and volleyball - during the carnival run by Australia University

Sport and hosted this year by Central Queensland University. More than 1600 student athletes from tertiary education institutions across Queensland and northern New South Wales were vying for glory. USC Sport spokesman Gary Moore said USC’s athletes were led by experienced campaigners Yoel Jogiono (futsal) and Chloe Wolski (volleyball), and several

teams were likely to feature among the medals. “Our women’s volleyball team, which won gold at the Australian University Games in Perth last year, is probably our strongest chance,” he said. USC also had 11 representatives competing last week in a variety of sports at the annual Indigenous Unigames in Geelong, Victoria. ●

PAPERLESS RATES SERVICE Ratepayers who’d like to receive their July rates notice via email have until 7 July to sign up to council’s paperless billing service. “Not only is it now more convenient for a lot of people to manage their bills digitally, but it saves council, and therefore the community, the cost of postage,” council’s corporate services director Michael Shave said. “It’s also better for the environment as it reduces paper use and printing, which aligns to council’s Zero Emissions Strategy. “Ratepayers can sign up for paperless billing at any time, but if it’s after 7 July, it won’t kick in until the January 2018 rating cycle as the July rates notices will have already been processed.” Visit www.noosa.qld.gov. au/rate-notice-via-email to make the switch. ●

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT … CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR The Sunshine Coast came close to filming Aquaman the movie with Sunshine Coast mayor Mark Jamieson putting up his hand to host the Warner Brothers blockbuster. After the $160 million superhero film ran into temporary difficulties with a New South Wales council Cr Jamieson

suggested the Sunshine Coast would make an ideal location for filming and council would do everything possible to expedite the permit process to make it happen. “We would be very keen to have the Warner Bros team here if they are unable to sort out the issues they are facing at the moment south of the border,” Cr Jamieson said.

“I have been in communication with Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and she firmly supports our invitation to Warner Bros.” The American superhero film is based on the DC Comics character of the same name. It is scheduled for release in December next year. ●

TOOT TROUBLE On Thursday at 10am Noosa Council brought down their 2017’18 budget during which they mentioned upgrading the Peregian Beach public toilet blocks. Thursday afternoon Noosa Surf Club called a meeting to discuss Peregian Beach taking back ownership of its club and lifesaving service. A matter they said had been raised prior with all levels of government. During the meeting they discussed a rebuild or renovation of the clubhouse which they thought should include the adjacent public toilets, in which case the current toilet block

would be demolished. Noosa Today asked the council whether they would upgrade the toilet block before it was demolished. “The 2017/18 budget has allocated funds for the design of new public amenities to replace the current sub-standard toilet block in the Peregian Beach Park. Construction has not been budgeted for in this financial year and will likely occur in the following financial year,“ the council’s community services director Alan ’Fox’ Rogers said. “This may be contingent on decisions relating to the future of the existing Peregian Surf Club building.“●

SOMETHING'S MISSING Re: Bench out to pasture (Noosa Today, 29 June). Has the bureaucratic world gone completely mad in this part of paradise? Settled in Peregian 11 years ago - was a great little place then, we had a caravan park, a bowls club, a surf club, a fortnightly market followed by the Peregian Originals, plenty going on, a real nice seaside village place to be. Then the experts/whingers/do-gooders/ advisers decided they knew how to make it even better and slowly the rot set in. First we lost the caravan park and with it all our southern state visitors and the cash they brought with them every winter. Because of same, the bowls club was next to shut up shop and then finally the surf club. But the straw that finally broke the camel’s back was the removal of the bench on the dunes. The one and only place my elderly neighbours were able to sit, on the dunes, rest and dream. The only safety concern I ever had with the bench was, one early morning as I was taking in the magic of the moment I noticed out the corner of my eye a red-bellied black making its way towards me. Think I’d taken its spot, but didn’t stay to find out. I suppose we should be grateful, after all we still have the market and monthly Originals, something called an IT centre is being built - that should pull the visitors in - an IGA supermarket, that’s solved the parking problems - every village needs one, some backpacker apartments - so much for them to do - a crane gantry in the village square, concrete benches to keep the bum cold or burnt, depending on the season - don’t lean backwards - and the thrice a year holiday home crowd in their newly-built rendered concrete boxes - so architecturally devoid of any Queensland style. Their job is to show the locals how cool they are. One southerner actually got permission to build a rusty tin box on the esplanade. Now that’s really cool, salt air and steel! Anyway enough of this madness, bring back many of the benches, us of the golden years can’t surf or skateboard any more but we love to sit and watch the ocean and we don’t need to be told how to do it, we invented the wheel. Stuart Bradbury, Peregian Beach.

HARDLY WORKING Someone is trumpeting, “Let’s Make Australia Work Again”. Who called the stop work meeting? Only yesterday, 1 July, things were working as intended. All pollies got a pay rise, high income earners got a tax cut, big businesses got $50 billion in tax cuts, week-

would never be reduction in prices until there was a third competition. I repeated this in a letter to council. The only people taking us for a ride are Noosa Council. But oh no, our mayor and councillors say no, we must not have competition or prices may drop. Unfortunately this is the smallminded attitude over so much from this council in this backwater. When will they learn there is no human way to stop growth, so get infrastructure in place rather than past councils getting us into the current traffic jam with lack of affordable accommodation. Ian Lawson, Tinbeerwah.

PATH TO HELL

Seeking to regain his kingdom from his usurper, Sir Pository of Wisdom is clipclopping across the countryside on his high horse blowing hot air and wind to his faithful subjects. Once his kingdom is secured, his subjects, on bended knee, will be required to tug their forelocks and swear allegiance to ‘My Liege’; some loyal sheeple will become knights and dames of the realm while the peasants will continue to pay a tithe for the glory that this new Ozymandias will bestow upon them.

Thursday, 6 July, 2017

I am concerned that the Noosa Residents and Ratepayers' Association see our council’s $98 million budget as “reasonable and not much change from last year”. The rate increase is pegged close to CPI at two per cent. We apparently carry some de-amalgamation debt, but presumably at a competitive interest rate, however ... My concern is that “not much change from last year” really means our council, in my opinion, by seemingly to continue to embrace the dark, unimaginative days of Playford financial management, are effectively constraining their ability to grow and strengthen this shire. The outcome is stagnation, where new jobs struggle to be created and current jobs come under threat; new business isn’t established in a confident and inspiring economic marketplace; new investment is not attracted because there are scant to no funds for council to be a catalyst for partnership. Where are we heading under a stringent budget regime which doesn’t seem to provide for stretch-targets for improvement in facilities, upgrades and new works. There are ‘good-fit’ projects and opportunities going begging for want of shared investment between council and private enterprise. I acknowledge that within the Noosa rate base there are ‘strugglers’. But, are they the common denominator which prevents council raising funds for growth? If they are, then fund programs which benefit them as compensation while tapping the more affluent rate base to enable growth. And, if debt was paid off by a rate increase which remained in place, what funds might be released from interest and the rate rise to achieve imaginative initiatives, year on year? Noosa is being left behind by its own timidity. Michael Donovan, Noosaville.

DREAM HOME WITH OCEAN VIEWS BOASTING direct beach access, panoramic ocean views and an exceptionally central location, this stunning family home is a mustsee for even the fussiest buyer. Architecturally-designed, living has been spread over three levels to make the most of the enviable ocean-side location. The home has been perched on a 551m2 north-east facing block with plenty of windows and balconies all designed to allow plenty of natural light and fresh breezes to fill the home. A rare building permit for 12 metres instead of the standard 8 metres means this stunning home enjoys exceptional, unrivalled ocean views. The expansive floorplan offers four bedrooms, including three on the lower-level. Each enjoys ocean views, a built-in wardrobe and access to the main bathroom, while two enjoy private decks. The entire upper-level has been dedicated to the master suite and features a beautiful ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and of course, those exceptional ocean views. The main living space is located in the mid-level and as one would expect all living spaces have been orientated towards the panoramic vista. Here you will find an open-plan designer kitchen, living and dining space, plus a media room and a large covered deck perfect for watching the migrating whales. A combination of a neutral colour scheme, beautiful pitched ceilings and picture windows create a space that perfectly encapsulates the enviable coastal lifestyle.

THE HIGH PRICE OF BUYING THE TALE OF IT’S no secret first home buyers are having a hard time cracking the real estate market in Sydney and new data from CoreLogic shows just why home ownership is out of reach for so many first time buyers. Recent data from CoreLogic compared the cost of buying a first home throughout Australian capital cities, assuming first home buyers were purchasing a home in the 25th percentile of home prices. Sydney returned an average price of $540,000 for a unit and $666,000 for a home, while Brisbane buyers get a better deal with units offering a $333,000 price tage and houses $390,000. Using these figures and assuming stamp duty is a set cost and a 20 per cent deposit is required to avoid lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), a first time Sydney buyer would need to save $133,733 for a unit and $158,933 for a house compared to $67,043 for a unit in Brisbane and $79,043 for a house. Report author and head of research at CoreLogic Cameron Kusher points out that not all lenders require a 20 per cent deposit, but even if the deposit is dropped to five percent, the savings required for a Sydney home are substantial. The cost for a five per cent deposit and stamp duty for a Sydney unit would be $52,733 and $59,083 for a house compared to $17,543 for a unit in Brisbane and $20,543 for a house in Brisbane.

TWO SALES

BY AUCTIONEER AND OWNER OF THE AUCTION GROUP GORDON MACDONALD

For many first time buyers in Sydney, home ownership is a dream. Mr Kusher said saving for even a five per cent deposit is a much tougher task in Sydney and Canberra than elsewhere in the country and first home buyers are also struggling with the fast increase in home values and slow increase in household incomes. “Entry into the housing market remains a real challenge particularly in our largest and most expensive capital cities. Even in cheaper areas, household income growth is fairly slow which makes saving a deposit difficult,” he said. “It is unclear as to how, absent a big fall in property prices, housing affordability for first home buyers can be greatly improved. Governments have tried incentives such as grants in the past and they

generally just lead to more demand and higher property prices.” Mr Kusher predicts a devastating flow-on effect if the cost of housing doesn’t improve. “The housing affordability challenge has the potential, over the coming years to create greater social pressures. Younger people may look to move away from the commercial hubs of Sydney and Melbourne because housing costs are too high,” he said. “As a result, businesses may find it increasingly difficult to attract young talent unless they offer opportunities in areas where housing is more affordable, both from a purchase and rental perspective.” ●

LAST weekend two auctions stood out from the rest and we think its necessary to unpack them for our reader’s interest. Both properties were auctioned on the same day within hours of each other. Auction (A) was an inferior location; the home was smaller, older and of lesser value than its comparison. Both properties were marketed sufficiently with similar budgets and the same length of campaign. So why did one sell for in excess of $50,000 over the other? And why was it, the property out-selling the other was in an inferior location and a home of perceived lesser value? Auction (A) out performed auction (B) hands down. The obvious difference was that auction (A) was advertised as ‘mortgagee in possession’ - auction (B) was marketed directly towards a target audience. To understand this further we must dig deeper - can we surmise, that the reason auction (A) achieved a much stronger result was a direct reflection of the sellers circumstance? The headline ‘Mortgagee in Possession’ activates the human emotion of wanting a bargain - and what happens when 20 bargain hunters get in an environment where they have to compete for the ‘bargain’? Competition! And competition equates to premium prices. To go one tier further - we think, the deeper reason the market responded so well to auction (A) was because both the seller and agent just ‘knew’ it was going to sell on the day. This belief is passed on to the ‘market’ and the market responded. For us the observation is clear - when seller and agent are aligned with the belief of selling - the market is forced to respond. ●

BRISBANE has gained its first $2 million suburb with recent data showing Teneriffe now boasts a median house price of a whopping $2.075 million. Home buyers hoping to get into the market better hurry up as Brisbane now has a record number of $1 million suburbs. The March quarter data shows 15 Brisbane suburbs hitting the median milestone, up from 10 suburbs in December. House prices annually have grown four per cent in Brisbane LGA, taking the annual median to $650,000. REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said the Brisbane house market had once again proven itself to be a solid performer. “This market consistently performs well for property owners, while maintaining its affordable status,” she said. “Brisbane now has its first $2 million suburb with Teneriffe, but compare this with Sydney, which has more than a dozen, possibly up to 14 suburbs with a median house price of $2 million or more.”

Looking at the five-year trend, from March 2012 when the median house price was $509,999, the Brisbane LGA median house price has grown 27.5 per cent. The quarterly house price eased, with the median contracting 2.9 per cent to $642,000. Brisbane LGA welcomed 15 suburbs to the million-dollar annual median suburb list in March quarter: · Ascot ($1,412,500). · Bulimba ($1,150,000). · Chelmer ($1,053,000). · Clayfield ($1,050,000). · Fig Tree Pocket ($1,050,000). · Hamilton ($1,165,000). · Hawthorne ($1,200,000). · Highgate Hill ($1,162,500). · New Farm ($1,615,000). · Paddington ($1,005,000). · Robertson ($1,077,000). · St Lucia ($1,185,000). · Teneriffe ($2,075,000). · West End ($1,080,000). · Wilston ($1,150,000). noosatoday.com.au

INVESTING CONFERENCE PLUS HOLIDAY It doesn’t take much to encourage people from our cold southern states to visit Noosa. One local business is using Noosa’s warm winter weather to entice share traders and investors to combine a holiday in Noosa with a share trading conference. The Chartist, established in 1998 and based in Noosa since 2001, is hosting Noosapalooza: Trading and Investing Conference at RACV Noosa Resort from 20-21 July.

“Previously, we would travel around Australia to meet our clients and to provide stock trading education. That got tiring, and the city doesn’t interest us anymore. We now host one fantastic event in Noosa biannually,” The Chartist director Trish Radge said. “We have a large following on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube plus clients all around Australia and the world. This is our way of promoting Noosa to our audience and giving back to the town we love. At The Chartist, we always

look for local suppliers before moving further afield and Noosapalooza is no exception,” Trish says. The Chartist has invited 10 presenters to cover 14 topics. “Whilst we specialise in technical analysis and strategies to trade the Australian and US stock markets, we recognise that our client’s need to diversify their investments. We have invited expert presenters on topics including bonds, ETFs, FX and value investing plus we are bringing out a

special guest presenter from Canada, Donald Dony, owner and editor of The Technical Speculator to talk about Swing Trading and to give a big-picture perspective of world markets.“ For more information, visit www. thechartist.com.au. ●

NEWS UNI AND DRAMA DREAMS COME TRUE AT 62

Banjo teacher Wendy Holman wins a playwright award.

A Sunshine Coast banjo teacher is celebrating her decision to enrol in a USC Arts degree after her first public offering as a playwright received a special mention in a Noosa Arts Theatre competition. Wendy Holman, 62, tested her play out among her university peers before entering it in the competition. “I’ve been a musician for 30 years, doing the festival circuit in the folk and bluegrass scene, and I needed shaking up," said Wendy who owns a small business called Fingerstyle Productions. “I’d always wanted to do drama, and I did my own creative writing, so I thought it would be wonderful to go to university and stand on the shoulders of those who had gone before. “I could never afford to go to uni before, but it was one of those things on the bucket list.” A monologue called Margarita Syndrome written by Ms Holman during a semester break was selected for Noosa Arts Theatre’s recent Shorts on Stage competition. The play was a one-sided phone conversation between a woman and her philandering husband. “I was really pleased with the way it was received and got a special mention because out of the nine finalists, I was one of only two who’d written, acted and directed my own play,” she said. ●

Cooroy Care and Share is a great place to meet new friends.

Cooroy Care and Share - a seniors social group that has been running for more than 30 years - is looking to welcome new members. The Noosa Community Supportrun program is operated by Noosa Council, and receives federal and state government funding. Cooroy Care and Share group members enjoy regular morning teas, group singing, quizzes, board games, bingo and even the occasional game of mini golf. Original organiser and nowparticipant Val Costello, 84, said the program had been running every second and fourth Wednesday of the month since it began as a Uniting noosatoday.com.au

Church program in 1985. It is open to eligible clients aged over 65, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people over 50, and those under 65, with a disability. NCS Hinterland Program coordinator Pearl Clothier said the event was a great way for local seniors to meet new friends. “Don’t sit at home on your own, don’t feel isolated, you will always be greeted with a smile and a warm welcome at Cooroy Care and Share,” she said. Transport is available for residents who live in Cooroy and out as far as Tinbeerwah. For more information, phone 5329 6175 or visit www. noosacommunitysupport.com.au ●

THE VILLAGE OF THE VEGIES BY MARGARET MACCOLL The Peregian Beach Vegie Village was begun by a man who wanted to know how to grow vegetables and a decade on has become a place that brings people together. The Vegie Village celebrated its 10th anniversary last week with a winter solstice lantern parade and community gathering. Bruce Molloy knew nothing about gardening when he called a community meeting attended by about 60 residents, including Lin Martin, that led to the group’s establishment. “A proposal was put to council to have a garden and they were happy to work with us,” Lin said. “We have real issues growing vegies on sand. We thought it would be good to have a community garden where people can learn to grow vegies and like-minded people can come together.” Lin said experts provided a lot of advice in the beginning. The garden now has raised beds where vegetables are grown in built-up soil replenished with compost and watered with natural spring water tapped from a spear and pumped using solar power. There are experimental garden areas and gardens people can rent. “In the community we have young families and older people,” she said. “We have over 100 people.” “We’re just maintaining it and keeping it a healthy, happy place to come to,” she said. ●

FINALISTS IN FRAY The much-loved National One Act Play Festival run by Noosa Arts Theatre is on again. The three finalists have been chosen from across Australia with two comedies and a drama showcasing some of Australia’s best writing and acting talent. Noosa Arts Theatre is agog at the calibre of actors who turned up recently to the One Act Play auditions and are chuffed to secure some of the most experienced actors on the coast and from abroad. Finalist one ’Seeking Nirvana’ by Dave Wellings and directed by Tania Nash, is a gentle comedy revolving around an aged care facility and the characters that live there. The actors bringing them all to life are talented beyond measure and have well over 100 years of onstage experience between them. Back treading the boards is Sandy Ludscome, last year’s winner of both Best Actress

awards at the Noosa One Act Play Competition and the Sunshine Coast Theatre Festival at The Lind in Nambour. Sandy has portrayed a broad range of characters on stage and screen in the UK, Singapore and in Australia where she’s appeared with the Canberra Rep, Sydney’s Marion Street Theatre, Pymble Players and Chester Street Theatre. Alongside Sandy is Tim Murfin, a Noosa Arts favourite, Julia Verburght, Jim Crawford, Paul Ritchie, Nicole Koy and Sam Taylor. Finalist two ’The Big Lap’ by Bruce Olive and directed by Sue Sewell, is a strong family drama with great flourishes of black humour. Talented locals Oriana Packman and Kat White play mother and daughter in crisis and Rob Carroll plays the mother’s boyfriend. Rob trained in Australia but has performed the majority of his theatre work in the UK. He has worked for the Royal Shakespeare Company in their Complete Works Season and in the

RSC’s ’Histories’ company as well as performing in theatres around the world. Rob has worked on stage and screen including Eastenders, Cold Feet and the movie Flipper. Rob’s professional experience is extensive but still remains committed to local community theatre. Finalist three ’Unforgettable’ by Cerise De Gelder and directed by Jacqui Mata Luque is a fascinating tapestry of history with a breezy humour to the piece that will engage the audience from the very beginning. A talented cast weave the vignettes together into a captivating story about one of the world’s most famous artworks. This is Joe Jurivesic’s first one act play but certainly not his first on-stage experience intact you are more likely to see him in musicals and full length plays. Joe first performed in a stage play in 2006 in Gingerbread Lady, followed by roles in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and the Williamson plays Brilliant Lies and Influence at Noosa Arts.

Another cast member, Deb Ellison has travelled the world as a professional dancer and continues to dance and act her way around the Sunshine Coast. Most recently Deb performed at the Tivoli in Brisbane and also right here in Noosa Art’s panto as Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother. Deb teaches Performing Arts by day and acts by night so her love of theatre is definitely a full- time passion! ● Starring Deborah Ellison, Joe Jurisevic, Sean McDermott , Janine Ritchie, Glen Miller, Claire Fermo, Paul Southgate and Robert Hicks.

Dream Gardens, ABC iView

Is this my Beautiful Life, by Jessica Rowe

Something To Tell You, by Haim

The nice thing about cold weather and modern technology is that if it’s too cold to go out and garden, you can always kick back under the blankets and watch someone else do all the work. Dream gardens is an eight-part series screened each Thursday and hosted by Michael McCoy, one of Australia’s leading landscape designers. Each episode follows the transformation of a garden and the family behind it. But more, besides. Episode one - set in Toowoomba - shows a husband and wife building their dream kitchen garden thanks to the help of their landscape designer son. But it also talks about the wife’s health battle and what prompted her to want the garden.

The demanding world of broadcast journalism is a challenging career choice and one Jessica Rowe fought valiantly to maintain under public scrutiny. Beyond the cameras, some equally tough battles were being fought. This candid memoir reveals how difficult it can be to have what comes naturally to some: a secure childhood and children of one’s own. Jessica’s smooth writing style is like being in her presence and sharing a coffee over confidences. I found myself admiring the candour and sincerity of her story, and Jessica’s ability to surmount some very tough life challenges. - Review by SuzAnne King, Friends of Noosa Library

The Haim sisters - Este, Danielle and Alana - are back with Something To Tell You, their second album that’s every bit worth the four-year wait. Their music has an ability to transport its listener to a different time, certain electronic sounds or processing are the only thing to signify the songs aren’t straight out of the ’70s or ’80s. The Fleetwood Mac influence is even more evident this time around with the significance of drums and percussion, Este’s melodic bass lines, the vocal harmonies and retro synth/keys (Nothing’s Wrong, You Never Knew). Hopefully it’s not another four years before we get another instalment of Haim.

WHAT’S ON NIGHT FOR LAUGHS The next comendy night at the Imperial Hotel is a side-splitting double feature with Dusty Rich and Mark McConville next Friday 14 July. Prepare yourself for a full physical workout of the best possible medicine. Dusty Rich is a comedic space-warrior riding a living volcano with one hand whipping the reins and the other gingerly fingering the lava-hot truth that flows freely down all sides - and is smothering the world in comedy magma. His meteoric rise in the comedy industry is due to the fact he had learnt to ride meteors at a very young age - a mind meteor, smashing through the atmosphere of mediocre and mundane. Each show is unpredictable and hilarious, leaving audiences gasping for air.

Zonta president Jan Comins holding a Rescue Ribbon a fun way of getting out of a predicament during the competition.

AMBROSE GOLF DAY FUNDRAISER Safe Homes in Noosa Everyday (SHINE) houses are the hard work of the Zonta International group. Zonta International is a leading global organisation of professionals empowering women worldwide through service and advocacy. They volunteer their time and talents to address women’s issues in our local community and worldwide. They belong to a strong organisation which focuses on sustainable changes. They develop themelves while developing our society. In other words, they empower and become empowered. In May 2004 the Zonta Club of Noosa hosted a Forum on Domestic and Family Violence in conjunction with the Noosa Council. The Zonta club was instrumental in pulling together several working groups supporting the same issue. The outcome of the forum was recognition that there was a great need in Noosa for a refuge for women escaping domestic and family violence. As a result, in 2005, the SHINE project was born: Safe Homes in Noosa Everyday. In just over two weeks three houses were built (a phenominal effort) and so local women have had short-term emer-

A true original, his style is manic but impactful. The mystical art of comedy bursts through his veins (and mouth) coupled with his razor sharp wit, taking no prisoners. Dusty Rich is, without question, an unnaturally naturally talented comedic anomaly. Mark McConville has featured all of the major commercial TV channels, Comedy Channel’s ‘Home Delivered Comedy’ and radio aplenty, but is best seen live to be fully appreciated.

gency accommodation available in their time of need. Until the houses were built, women escaping domestic violence had nowhere to go in Noosa and were forced to relocate to other shires, having to leave jobs and support bases of neighbours and friends. For children it meant a change of school and major disruption in an already confusing and emotional time. Zonta is holding its annual fund-raising event on the green with an invitation golf day for singles or teams. Proceeds from the day will be put towards renovating the ‘SHINE Houses Project’ which for the past 10 years has provided shelter for local women and their children affected by domestic violence. These three safe houses are in desperate need of repair and the club needs public support to help raise money to go towards the $27,000 needed so these houses become a welcoming, safe and secure haven for the families taking refuge. So, dust off the clubs and come and join in for a day of memorable golf and plenty of laughs. It’s not about the golf ... it’s about making a difference in someone’s life who needs help. The “Zonta Noosa Invitation Golf Day” to be held at Noosa Golf Club, at 46 Cooroy Noosa Road, Tewantin, on Sunday 6 August. Registration and payment by Friday 28 July. ●

TAKE-HOME DINNER TONIGHT

THE FLAVOUR STACKS UP BY HOLLIE HARRIS Once you go stacked, you won’t go back. For real. The innovative food coming out of this kitchen is inspiring and with one look at the menu, you’ll be sold. These guys are raising the bar for the same old menu items and adding a fresh and fun twist to everything they are cooking up. Forget tortilla stacks, these guys do their Chicken and Avo stacks using pappadums! Burgers with Angus beef or brioche? Nah, Stacked do a black bean and chickpea burger to die for and their smoothies taste as good as they look -the Hubba Bubba Smoothie must be seen to be believed. Stuck in the office? They have that covered! With delivery around Noosa Junction, working through lunch is easier with a freshly made salad, baguette or Buddha Bowl in your belly. Something hearty or warm? Try their soft beef tacos, Vindaloo fries and Shakshouka or Mexican Tomato, Avocado and Tortilla soup. A Chicken Buddha bowl is all you need this winter. Vegetarians and vegans will be over the moon to choose from a stacked brekky pizza, vegan Buddha Bowls is everything, cheesecake and acai bowls. It fresh, colourful food that looks amazing, tastes even better and your body will thank you for afterwards. Open for brekky (they claim to have the best eggs bennie in town, so why not check it out yourself) and lunch, this locally owned and family run foodie heaven is at 3/28 Sunshine Beach Road, Noosa Heads. ●

ART HITS COOROY’S STREETS

Performer Pai Poilaba.

BY MARGARET MACCOLL The new format for Cooran’s annual Tall Trees Exhibition proved a success with businesses doing a roaring trade and people enjoying the walk through the quaint town. The exhibition this year moved from the Cooran Memorial School of Arts Hall to numerous locations from one end of the main street to the other. King Street was filled with a steady stream of visitors wandering along to view the displays and stop off at the local traders. Artist Jackie Bazzo said the feedback had been very positive with only a couple of people saying they missed the exhibition in the hall. ●

FOCUS ON â&#x20AC;Ś Health, Wellness & Beauty

TIME FOR LITTLIES TO TALK, READ, SING AND PLAY The moment a baby is conceived its brain begins to develop and by the age of five, 90 per cent of this development is complete. To support parents and carers in creating stronger language and literacy environments for under-fives, Sunshine Coast Council has re-launched its First5Forever campaign, in conjunction with the State Government and the State Library of Queensland. The councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Young Peoples Services supervisor Karen Gawen said children were born ready to learn and the simple acts of talking, reading, singing and playing daily with loved ones vastly improved their learning abilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the next 18 months, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be actively showing people how they can make a difference every day, anytime, anyplace,â&#x20AC;? Ms Gawen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alongside our popular free library activities, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be out in the community talking to people, providing and sharing information on social media and online, hosting events and of course council libraries and librarians are always there to help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just aimed at parents - grandparents, friends, carers, aunts, uncles play a huge role in a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every story a child hears, every song sung, every conversation you have help a child learn. Rather than sitting with flash cards and formally schooling babies and children, its about creating opportunities in everyday situations like going to the supermarket, trips in the car and cooking dinner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to believe just how important these activities are, but research tells us they are not happening in all homes and children arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hearing the volume and diversity of

words to maintain good literacy when they reach school,â&#x20AC;? Ms Gawen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our aim is to show people how easy, quick, simple these activities are by sharing ideas and resources, tips and tricks that work for every parent or carer.â&#x20AC;? It is up to us to help the next generation

THREE â&#x20AC;Ś ways to help them develop

thrive by making these small but invaluable investments into their future. To find out more about the First5Forever program, visit the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s library website library.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au - or council libraries. â&#x2014;?

Numbers Your two-year-old may be able to recite the numbers one to 10 in order, but the ability to truly count probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come until their preschool days. Still, you can bolster number recognition by tallying up totals as you get them dressed, prepare meals (â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are six peas on your plateâ&#x20AC;&#x153;), and shop for groceries (â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have three potatoes, so I need one more to make fourâ&#x20AC;?).

Letters Around age two, your child will begin to recognise the letters that make up her name, so be sure to display it throughout your home: on her bedroom door, a bathroom step stool, and the fridge. Point to the letters, saying each one out loud. Talk about other words that begin with the same letter as her name does (â&#x20AC;&#x153;C is for Caitlin, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also for cat and cupâ&#x20AC;?).

Colors For hands-on exposure to colours, let your child dip into finger-paints. Name the colours as he spreads each one. Once the masterpiece dries, you can go on a scavenger hunt around your home, looking for items that match the colours used in the picture. Talk about how there are many shades of colors - from pale sky blue to blue thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so dark it looks almost black.

Most people consider losing weight the number one reason for eating healthier. But should it be our top priority? Research typically shows that in most cases, healthy weight follows healthy choices, but those healthy choices have benefits that far exceed simple weight loss. For example, proper eating habits can lead to a decreased risk of some cancers, heart disease, chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to make sure your body not only has a healthy appearance, but is healthy from the inside out, book with Freda Dunn today to see the changes you can make for a better you.

VERONIS KEEPS HER COOL

GOOD RESULTS IN PENNANT FOR NOOSA CROQUET CLUB BY DOUG MCCONNELL NOOSA CROQUET All three forms of croquet saw Pennant action this past week. Association (the oldest form of croquet) is the game played on the Sunshine Coast for the Lockwood Shield. Noosa fields one team in this competition and this week battled Maleny at home. The Noosa team over-powered the visitors winning the two singles and the doubles for a final tally of 60 hoops to 34. Match results with Noosa players listed first: John Olsen defeated Vince Carbery 26:10; Brian Rudd just got by Ken Barker 18:17; John and Brian won the doubles against Vince and Ken 26:7. In the Ricochet form of the game, Noosa played Nambour and won the day two matches to one, but failed to provide any details to the poor scribe! In the Golf format, Noosa fields one Pennant team (low handicap players) and two Shield teams for higher handicap players.

The Pennant team hosted Nambour and took the day - winning two games to one and taking 58 hoops to the visitors 51. Match results with Noosa players listed first: Hans Van Moorst lost to N. Stoddart 15:21; Niven Gugich defeated R. Pettman 26:14; Hans and Galina defeated Robin and Niel 17:16. In the Golf Shield competition, Noosa 2 played Caloundra at Noosa. Noosa 2 sits on top of the table and justified that spot by refusing to let Caloundra win even one of the 10 matches. Individual match results: Peter Richardson defeated Doug Jones 6:4; Susan Powley defeated Pat Burton 5:4; Peter defeated Pat Burton 7:5; Susan defeated Doug Jones 6:4; Ray Powley defeated Judy Couchley 7:3; Judy Terry defeated Lyn Carden 7:5; Ray defeated Lyn Carden 6:3; Julie defeated Judy Couchley 7:1. In the doubles, Peter and Susan defeated Dave and Pat 8:7 and Ray and Julie defeated Judy and Lyn 8:6. Truly, a good week for Noosa with four teams winning in all three forms of the game. ●

POMONA BOWLS Ladies A Singles Championship - Second semi-final was a close encounter of two of the club's top bowlers, the game came down to the wire and on the last end Gaye Bible was holding 24-23 against Veronis O’Connor. With great determination, Veronis kept her cool and won the last end by two shots giving her the game 25-24. The Ladies final will be held between Tina Camp and Veronis O’Connor which should be another exciting event. The final of the Men’s B Championship between Don Walker and Glenn Patterson was another nail-biting finish. At the beginning, Glenn shot ahead, however, Don - with dogged determination continued to catch up on points and took the game 25-21.

GAS WEEK AT SECRET SPOT a bushranger beard answered the door, and listened to Bob’s spiel as he took in the diminutive figure in late, late middle age. “Hey man,” said the hipster, “I’m not really interested in your god because I’ve found my own in the ocean, looking out from the deep green cathedral of the barrel ... ” “Wait a minute, ya bastard,” yelled Bob. “That’s mine! I bloody wrote that!” Once known as the “mayor of Noosa”, Bob is still one of the world’s leading surfer/ shapers, responsible for revolutionising surfboard design in the 1960s, and for first popularising Noosa as a surfing destination. Now, 72, he remains the figurehead behind McTavish Surfboards in Byron Bay, a company that rode to success on the back of the longboard revival, but also produces some of the most innovative shortboards in the world. A loveable rogue despite his deeper side, Bob’s two surf memoirs, Stoked and More Stoked, have become bestsellers. Representing a younger generation of soul surfers, American-born Tom

KIDS PLAY FREE SUNDAY AFTERNOONS.

Wegener, now in his fifties, was a solicitor in California until the surf bug bit him and he gave up his career to design surfboards and travel the world looking for waves. This search led him to Noosa in 1998, where he fell in love, started a family and made his home. Today, he is the most respected name in the world of sustainable wood surfboard production, has a PhD in sustainable technology and has published a well-received memoir, Surfboard Artisans: For The Love. I’m looking forward to appearing with these two great characters and surfing thinkers at a session called, appropriately enough, “Soul Surfing”, as part of the Noosa Alive! Festival this month. The show will be held at the RACV Resort in Noosa from 6pm on Monday, 24 July, with a welcome beer or wine included in the price. At a small, intimate gathering, you won’t have a better opportunity to talk story with Bob and Tom, but tickets are in limited supply, so book yours online today at www. noosaalive.com.au

Well, it hasn’t actually been much of a secret for about 40 years, and with a fabulous new beachfront hotel now overlooking the break, the crowds are only going to get worse, but jeez we had fun on the long lefts of Medewi last week! When I first surfed here in 1975, the Muslim villagers didn’t know what to make of us, or where to put us, but they soon overcame their shyness and built tiny homestays all over town, and that’s pretty much the way Medewi stayed, until recently. But the Bombora Medewi Surf Lodge is no monstrous resort, just 11 rooms set around a bar, a restaurant and a pool, all overlooking those fast-tracking walls that come racing down the point at high tide. Very tasteful, very tasty. Exhausted and elated after a handful of sessions in the head-high to overhead range, I put the dual crowd issues - hot locals, visiting kooks - out of mind and booked my next stay as I finished the first. Bombora’s not cheap, but I calculated as we drove back up the coast to home that it’d cost me about $12 a good wave, and I rate that as value. ●

When I first got into the surf media, a long, long time ago, the idea of surfing in a singlet to perhaps win a trophy for your mantelpiece had all but disappeared, replaced by the contention that surfing was in fact an art form that could not be judged as a sport. The protagonists of this viewpoint were known as “soul surfers” and generally sported bushranger beards and long matted hair and lived in sparsely-populated rural coastal towns, like Angourie, Lennox Head, Byron Bay and yes, even Noosa, where they could refine the art of surfing under the influence of home-grown dope. These were the true heroes of the surf media, and there were none bigger than Nat Young and Bob McTavish. Respectively Australia’s greatest competitive surfer of the late 1960s and Australia’s most advanced surfboard designer of the same period, Nat and Bob were like the yin and yang of country soul, and as I wrote my first articles for the surf mags, I was inspired by their manifestos published in John Witzig’s Surf International magazine. “Look up through a crystal vessel,” Bob would write, “and get nailed to the wall”. “Simply by surfing,” Nat would preach, “we are supporting the revolution.” But a funny thing happened on the way to the revolution: Nat went back to competition when money came into it, and Bob found religion of a more profound nature than soul surfing’s “church of the open sky”, a faith that has sustained him for more than 45 years. Bob’s particular brand of religion requires him to door-knock his shire every Saturday, offering the Word to those who answer. One day not long ago a new age hipster with long matted hair and
