MORE TO LOVE The editor’s desk How does Australia rank when it comes to free speech? Are people becoming afraid to speak their mind, particularly if they consider their view is not popular? Last week I did a small street poll asking people their views on marriage equality. Those who agreed were happy to be identified, those who didn’t were not. According to the 2017 World Press Freedom Index Australia is ranked number 19 in free speech against 180 countries. Norway takes first place, New Zealand is 13, the US is ranked 23 and coming in at 180 is North Korea. The index raises concerns about government restrictions in Australia on free speech brought about by laws introduced in 2015. The laws provide for prison sentences for whistleblowers who disclose information about conditions in the refugee centres or operations by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation. Academics have described Australians free speech as “delicate” as it relies on a common law tradition and not, as in other countries, protection in the form of a bill of rights. ●

THIS WEEK WE’RE TALKING ABOUT… THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE A CONTAINER A granny flat made of three shipping containers designed recently by architect Gabriel Poole and included in the Australian Architecture Association’s Noosa tour last weekend is one affordable housing option that could be considered in Noosa Council’s new town planning scheme. The secondary dwelling on land at Lake Weyba was designed by the local architect to “address accommodation problems of increasing numbers of us with varying physical disabilities, from the youngest to the elderly”. Recently released housing affordability reports by the Housing Industry Association show residential land prices 9.3 per cent higher than a year ago and affordability in the June quarter dropped by 1.2 per cent across regional Australia, as house prices accelerated faster than wages. Councillor Ingrid Jackson said a housing needs

assessment prepared for Noosa Council earlier this year revealed housing property prices and rentals in Noosa Shire to already be beyond the reach of many people. “Noosa Council’s assessment, prepared as an input to the new town planning scheme, disclosed that many local workers, students, pensioners and people with a disability were struggling with house prices and rental,” she said. “The Housing Assessment report looked at solutions to this dilemma, including small innovative dwellings, smaller lots, secondary dwellings, more housing diversity and incentives for development applications which include affordable housing.” “This is an inexpensive but elegant solution for extra accommodation on a property for a family member, friend or other person.” Cr Jackson said Noosa Council was considering all options in its planning as it sought to bring housing affordability within the reach of shire residents. ●

BIOSPHERE UP FOR REVIEW

Bringing fish life back to Noosa is one of the NBRF projects. Noosa Biosphere Day will be a fun day out with free music and stage entertainment, kids activities, interactive workshops, a river walk and clean up, food vendors, native animals, and Floating Land art display. Dr Leah Barclay’s Aurality App will offer an augmented reality with a biosphere soundscape audio experience dotted around Lions Park and Noosa River. Local community groups and sustainable industries will be available to share information about the special qualities of our biosphere reserve. “We will be making this day loads of fun but we also want to grow our understanding of what makes our biosphere reserve so special,” Annie said. Noosa Biosphere Day will be held on the UN World Habitat Day, on the Queen’s Birthday holiday, Monday 2 October at Noosaville Lions Park. ●

Body corporate legislation that governs developments including Noosa Springs - are under review and lot owners are being asked for their say on proposed changes. Noosa MP Glen Elmes said the State Government had engaged QUT’s Commercial and Property Law Research Centre to review two aspects of property law. One review is looking at whether lot owners and body corporates, including those at Noosa Springs which are governed under the Building Units and Group Titles Act 1980 (BUGT Act), would be better off under the newer Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (BCCM Act). This review considers BUGTA to be an out-of-date law that provides less protection for lot owners than the BCCM Act and does not reflect best practice standards. Two areas that could be significantly affected by changes are dispute resolution and body corporate procedures. In the second review, QUT has conducted public consultation on the BCCM Act and made 64 recommendations to the State Government. The BCCM Act is more widespread affecting 46,630 community titles schemes across Queensland. The review says the recommendations are intended to streamline processes, make decision making more transparent, improve legal compliance and increase consumer protection. Anyone with an interest in community title schemes is invited to have a say on these recommendation until Friday 6 October. Lot owners can have their say on changes to the BUGT Act until Friday 22 September. For more information visit www.justice.qld.gov.au or for assistance contact Mr Elmes' office on 5319 3100. ●

A Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) group is gathering data for its 10-year UN review as the foundation and Noosa Community Biosphere Association (NCBA) celebrate the 10th anniversary of Noosa’s biosphere status with a free community event on Monday 2 October. NCBA president Annie Guthrie said the family day out will also mark Noosa Biosphere Day. “Noosa Biosphere Day commemorates the significance of the global status handed down by UNESCO 10 years ago,” she said. “The day is to celebrate our unique relationship with this beautiful place we’re so fortunate to call home. Designation as a biosphere reserve status in 2007 provided global reward and recognition for the great environmental protection work the Noosa community had achieved over the past decades. NBRF is required to submit its report on the 10-year review to the UNESCO in 2018, as part of meeting the guiding principles under the Man and the Biosphere (MaB) Program. A NBRF spokesman said a Periodic Review Advisory Group (PRAG) was formed earlier this year and the group is now in the informationgathering phase, having “consulted with a number of key stakeholders including industry groups, individuals and community organisations”. “Chair of the MaB Program Working Group in Australia, Professor Peter Bridgewater has twice visited Noosa to support the review process,” he said. “Prof Bridgewater delivered two information sessions to the PRAG to assist with the review process and technical requirements”.

JANDAMARRA’S

WORLD OF ART

BY HOLLIE HARRIS

rtist, 2014 and 2017 Archibald finalist and Yorta Yorta and Dja Dja Warung descendent, Jandamarra Cadd, is known as a voice for Indigenous equality. This peaceful warrior has a gentle soul, yet below the surface lays a very focused and driven man who is constantly searching for ways to better his artistic skills, his work life balance, relationships and purpose. Recently invited by the Australian Embassy in Jakarta and the Consulate General in Bali to celebrate NAIDOC week in Indonesia, Jandamarra returns from a five day

whirlwind trip of working alongside local artists. “It was a truly amazing experience. I was really moved by the culture, humbleness of the people and rich experience shared with other creative perspectives,” Jandamarra said. Feeling that he has always been able to see and experience life in a way that seemed different to others, Jandamarra wears his heart and soul on his sleeve. Painting as a means to express himself as a 15-yearold boy enduring a difficult childhood, after a long and committed journey, he eventually transitioned from an emerging artist to professional artist during his first touring solo exhibition “Past. Present. Future” in Melbourne.

The success of this exhibition solidified his career and kicked off subsequent successful solo exhibitions and then inevitably, his outstanding work lead him to become an Archibald finalist - not once, but twice. It takes Jandamarra five very long days a week for six months to paint his Archibald entries and this year’s piece of Uncle Jack Charles was no exception. Jandamarra’s world has taken on a whole new level of busy these days. A man who moves with a gentle purpose, a steadfast and thoughtful approach to each task and with a sense of peacefulness that is truly contagious has somehow managed to pull off having it all.

LIFE IS MUCH MORE THAN HAVING MONEY AND STUFF… Amy is an intrinsic piece to the colourful world that is Cadds, as she holds the fort while Jandamarra works. “I need to be 100 per cent present and tend to listen to select music to facilitate my focus. I prefer to also have many days in a row to paint and can’t take phone calls or visits as it takes me out of my creative flow.” A very hands-on dad when he’s not working, Jandamarra takes on the family duties when registered nurse Amy works and spends as much time in nature with his children as possible.

event on the Sunshine Coast later this month at the Cooroy

ne of Jandamarra’s role models and subject for his 2014 Archibald piece, Archie Roach, has helped the artist to identify with his past struggles. “Archie Roach had a rough time through life growing up as an Aboriginal person through the ’60s till now and has personally overcome a lot of challenges - some similar to my own life. “I deeply admire his resilience and fortitude, and how he uses his music to heal not only himself, but also for so many others.” Archie will be performing songs from his last two award winning albums, Into the Bloodstream and Let Love Rule this Friday and Saturday night at The Majestic Theatre, Pomona. “It’s such a privilege for our community to be able to have Uncle Archie come and perform. He’s got such depth, wisdom, passion and stories to tell. He’s a truly unique musician and it’s humbling to hear his songs of redemption, emancipation and raw, unbridled truth.” “Amy and I are very excited to be going. We went to his last tour here two years ago and it was very soul enriching.” Jandamarra’s artwork is currently showing in Nissarana Galleries in Hastings Street. The gallery promotes and supports local established and upcoming Australian, Indigenous Australian and International artists. “Two of the pieces that are in Nissarana are part of my “Spaces Between” collection which is scheduled for exhibition in Adelaide from December this year. This will be the first time my dot portraits will be exhibited all together,” Jandamarra said. Also in the pipeline is his new works for exhibition for next year. The Caloundra Regional Gallery will showcase this new collection called “United Journey.” “It’s about showing how non -Indigenous and Indigenous people can learn from one another through a symbiotic relationship based on mutual respect and a will to enhance all of our quality of life through walking as true custodians together.” “I feel this is not only possible but integral for the future of all humanity. Learning from our traditional roots as to walk forward right way,” he says. Jandamarra will be guest speaking at the first ’Ignite’

The humble man behind the paintbrush will speak at ‘Ignite’ on 28 September at the Cooroy Hotel. Hotel for an evening of short five minute insights from eight carefully selected and inspirational speakers over a sit down dinner. Amy was also invited to share her experience working in palliative care for the evening as the pair embark on yet another inspirational venture together. “It is really tricky at times, being so busy and having a family with young children, in which I am a very hands-on dad,” he said. He will have to continue to master the juggle with his career growing exponentially here in Australia and now achieving overseas recognition as well. Somehow, I don’t think fame and fortunes would change this humble and grounded soul. “Life is much more than having money and stuff,” Jandamarra said. ●

But the man behind the paintings, the one who touches so many people’s lives with his infectious smile and open heart is so much more than a world-class artist. A father to three children, a husband, a flourishing and time-demanding art career and guest speaking business, manning an acreage property and trying to keep a social life is more than most can take on. So how does he do it? “It’s important to ‘play’ and not work all the time. My children have taught me how to be in the moment and live more so in a world that isn’t primarily based on the continual responsibilities and demands of working and living in a society.” High up in the Hinterland, David Bowie tunes are piping out of a cottage surrounded by a bamboo forest. The all too familiar sounds of a sander drowns out the music as Mindari, Nuyara and Winton chase chickens around a cubby house painted all the colours of the rainbow. This is the Cadd’s home life. Jandamarra and his partner of eight years - Amy - have worked hard in their down-time to transform their timber home into one that suited the sub-tropical environment. “We had to make it work and as creative and independent people, we love to do it ourselves,” Jandamarra says. Renovations are one way for Jandamarra to unwind, as is precious time with the love of his life - his family. “Whether playing a game of volleyball, soccer, badminton, or just climbing one of our big trees together and swinging from ropes off of them - the moments shared in this are so valuable and yet priceless,” he said. “We don’t always get it right and at times long for the communal way all of our ancestors once lived. I guess we try to communicate with each other when we need some time out to ourselves, whether it’s seeing a movie or beach time, or going out with friends for a dance to live music.” “But being a father - the depths of love that you experience that I never knew existed pre children - it has the ability to bring out the best in you and sometimes the worst as they have a tight grip onto those heart strings.” Many may not have had the pleasure of glimpsing Jandamarra’s cheeky and perhaps a little warped sense of humour. It seems butter wouldn’t melt, but the man is funny! Certainly, a match made in heaven with his equally comical and big hearted side-kick Amy - the two seem to work through life’s journey with a sense of realness, acceptance and comedy. Their first official date says it all. “I invited Amy to come with me to a day seminar on the importance of bowel health. We are both pretty interested in health and wellness, but Amy still likes to sarcastically say how romantic I am when people ask about our relationship,” Jandamarra said. These two make quite a team. Painting often takes Jandamarra into his studio for 12-16 hour days, meaning

a term given to it by Gough Whitlam,” Michael said. “Young warriors would take message sticks from tribe to tribe around the country to provide safe passage.” The journey wasn’t always smooth sailing. Sometimes Michael had to take a break from the journey to go off and earn money and he learnt to be mechanically self-sufficient, having once had to extinguish the car when it caught fire. “It’s been like my child,” he said. “I’ve had to feed it, put fuel in it and I’ve always had to protect it.” But the message stick vehicle has given back prodigiously. “It’s amazing where the journey has taken me,” Michael said. “Sometimes you start something in life and you never know where the journey will evolve.” Michael did track down the maker of the didgeridoo in Arnhem Land. “Djalu Gurruwiwi just came into my life as a spiritual guru,” he said. “He was a master didgeridoo player. He was a very gentle man, a wise man, a cultural man.” And the vehicle attracted great interest for both its journey and its artistic value and has been displayed in a number of museums, including the Queensland, Sydney and National

Taking a didgeridoo to Mt Everest is in itself an uncommon occurrence. But for Noosa filmmaker Michael Butler, this act in 1995 sparked the beginning of an adventure he has been on for the past 20 years. It's an adventure that will end on Sunday, with the auction of his Aboriginal art car. Michael decided to locate the Aboriginal man who made his didgeridoo. He had no name and not even a direction in which to head. He prepared for the journey by buying and decking out a 1961 ex-army ambulance Land Rover with a queensize bed and film gear. To ensure his safe passage, the great grandson of legendary artist Albert Namatjira painted a message of protection on the side of his vehicle. On the other side, artist Tjokupa created a painting relating to a male and female Dreaming story. A lot of people added their art to it along the journey, while Michael recorded his progress in a documentary that was narrated by actors Jack Thompson and Hugo Weaving and aired on the ABC. Gough Whitlam left his mark on the car and so did Nelson Mandela and Ian Thorpe, he said. “It’s a modern day message stick,

CASH FOR KALEB WILL COVER HIS REHAB Katrina Davis has set up a gofundme page to bring her son Kaleb home and provide him with rehabilitation after he was airlifted to the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital (LCCH) in Brisbane on 25 August following an accident. “August 25th 2017 was a horrible day for our family - our beautiful boy Kaleb was hit by a van on Beckmans Road Noosaville travelling at 60km/h,” she said.

“Kaleb had an amazing trauma team of paramedics, police and careflight that transported him via chopper with his dad to LCCH. “At this stage we are unsure how long Kaleb’s recovery will take, and want to be able to give him everything he needs.” The fund-raising page aims to raise $250,000 to bring him home from hospital and provide for his rehabilitation.

Katrina said the Sunshine Beach State High student loved his sports of football, athletics, cycling and running and was proud to be a member of Brothers Junior Rugby League, winning Rookie of the Year last year. “Kaleb has a long road ahead and will need rehabilitation,” she said. “Unfortunately the NDIS is not available in our area until 2019.

Bridge Muir walked for her grandmothers.

Bridge Muir was first across the finish line at the Walk for Women’s Cancer held at Alexandra Headland on Saturday. The Noosa District State High School Year 11 co-ordinator completed the 6km event, and even managed to finish before the 3km participants returned from their return journey to Mooloolaba’s Loo With A View. The seasoned runner dedicated her jog to her grandmothers, Shirley Muir and Mary Grehan, who lost their battles to ovarian and breast cancer respectively when Miss Muir was in Year 11. “Both grandmas gave me that extra push over the headland. They were in my mind for the duration. I only wish they were here so I could give them a big hug after I crossed the finish line," Miss Muir said. The Walk For Women’s Cancer event was

in a financial position to be able to provide everything, which is why we have reached out to the community and social media to help our young man get the best possible chance of rehabilitation so we may take him home as soon as possible with the equipment he requires.” To visit the gofundme page, go to https://www.gofundme.com/ BringingKalebHome ●

FOCUS IS THE KEY

Jacqui Wilson-Smith

FARMERS' MARKET WITH A TWIST

BY MARGARET MACCOLL

Jacqui received a $10,000 bursary

recipe for success is.”

Queensland AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award winner Jacqui Wilson-Smith of Eerwah Vale has achieved success in agricultural business by putting the customer first and is now helping others to do the same. Jacqui, who is global head of innovation for pre-packaged herb business Gourmet Garden and cofounder of the Food and Agribusiness Network (FAN), said focusing on what the customer wanted instead of dayto-day business changed the way a business operated. “Gourmet Garden was born out of an understanding that herbs don’t last, and that our customers needed a solution for that,” she said. “We worked as a team to understand the customer’s pain point, and to solve that together. Without the input across every area of the business - farmers, food technologists, operations staff, supply chain and export markets - this idea would never have come to fruition.” Well known for its range of herbs packaged in toothpaste-tube style products Gourmet Garden sold last year to US McCormick Group for $150 million. For her Rural Women’s Award

which she is using to partner with educators, government and industry to create a pilot case study and online training module, based on the FAN platform, that will eventually provide similar connections for rural food and agribusiness across Australia. In the first instance, she will deliver a documentary case study on Gourmet Garden to show time-poor companies how to make more informed decisions around innovation. “The hard thing is - it’s all very well to talk about innovation - but people need to be shown how to make it happen,” she said. “We want to share the trials and tribulations we’ve had along the way, how we overcame challenges, what lessons we learnt, what we think the

The information will be made available on the FAN website at https:// foodagribusiness.org.au/ and will include innovation tools such as journey mapping. The mapping takes a product from the farm to the plate showing the process a customer travels to buy their food and includes elements such as planning and shopping for meals and choosing packaging. “We do it so we can understand end to end the consumer experience,” Jacqui said. Jacqui will attend the national awards at the 2017 AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award Gala Dinner which will take place in the Great Hall at Parliament House, Canberra, on Wednesday 13 September. ●

The Cooroy Farmers and Artisans Market will hold its first market on Saturday 7 October from 6am to noon at Lower Mill Road, Cooroy. Markets will then be held consistently on the first, third and fifth Saturdays of each month. Spokeswoman Danielle Taylor said as was typical of Cooroy, “these won’t be any normal markets but instead they will be a farmers' market with an artistic twist”. “There will be stalls with local produce and value-added products like sauces and pickles, “Made in the Biosphere” products from artists located in the Noosa and Great Sandy Straight Biospheres, food stalls and entertainment,” she said. “One thing you won’t be seeing at these markets are imported or massproduced items. “At each market, there will also be stall space donated to a community group to utilise as a fund-raiser and to raise awareness. “The idea behind the market is to support local growers and artists and highlight the diversity of produce and talent in our region.” For more, visit www. cooroymarket.com.au. ●

NEWS CHANGES PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENTAL EDGE The tourist hot spots of Hastings Street, Noosa Junction and Sunshine Beach Village had their first upgraded rubbish collections on Friday which Noosa Council says will be “quieter, quicker and better for the environment”. A 2-in-1 truck collects both rubbish and recycling into separate compartments. Council’s waste manager Wayne Schafer said reducing the number of trucks in the area meant less fuel was being used and fewer emissions released. Mr Schafer said that being smaller the 2-in-1 waste truck could fit into tighter locations, which would therefore enable council to install and service public recycling bins in more locations. “Plus, it has a built-in device to wash out street litter bins to help reduce odours, with all of the runoff being collected in the truck,” he said. The council is also rolling out a suite of new batterypowered leaf blowers, pole saws and power tools for outdoor staff. “As well as being better for the environment, the battery-powered tools are quieter and lighter than the two-stroke machines they’ve replaced, plus they overcome the need for staff to handle fuel,” procurement manager Phill Parkman said. ●

Dual rubbish trucks have their first run in Hastings Street on Friday.

REDUCING THE FIRE RISK University of the Sunshine Coast Professor of Forestry Operations Mark Brown is heading a West Australian field trial into the effectiveness of using machinery to reduce fire fuel loads (plant material) to lessen the strength and speed of bushfires. Professor Brown, who has been travelling between USC at Sippy Downs and the 185-hectare site at Collie, south of Perth, said the research could produce huge benefits for communities and the environment across Australia. “If the results show that mechanical fuel load reduction works, this method could be applied in other selected areas where there are towns or infrastructure or high conservation status areas close to bushland, such as across the greater Sunshine Coast region,” he said. “This method has the potential to cut the cost of bushfire management while improving preventative measures and decreasing impacts. “Mechanical fuel reduction can be applied throughout the year, as opposed to prescribed burning which requires specific weather conditions. It could allow bushfire mitigation measures in areas where it hasn’t been possible before because of burn risks and smoke issues near people’s homes and public infrastructure. “It won’t replace prescribed burns

CHARGES LAID ON FATAL ACCIDENTS

Professor Mark Brown to mitigate bushfires, but it could be a complementary tool. In addition, the material removed to reduce fuel loads could be sold to produce sustainable bioproducts or bioenergy.” Professor Brown said the results of the machine trials in WA would be analysed and modelled by USC Senior

Research Fellow Dr Mauricio Acuna, who is based in Hobart. “Dr Acuna’s work will aim to understand the performance and cost of the mechanical operations, how they relate to the fire mitigation outcomes, and how they compare to the cost of fuel reduction burning,” he said. ●

Police have charged a man following investigations into a fatal traffic crash in Coolum Beach on 27 July. Police allege that about 5pm, a 39-year-old woman, who had just exited her vehicle, was struck by a truck travelling along School Road. The woman died at the scene. A 39-year-old Bli Bli man is expected to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death and offence of driving while a relevant drug is present. Police have also charged a man following investigations into a fatal traffic crash at Ilkley on 1 June. Police allege that about 8.30pm, a sedan was travelling on Ilkley Road when it left the roadway at a sweeping bend and collided with a tree. A 21-year-old man, a passenger in the vehicle, was pronounced deceased at the scene. A 36-year-old Bli Bli man is scheduled to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on 21 September charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death, driving while over general alcohol limit, and driving a motor vehicle without a driver's licence. ●

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT … NOOSA PASSES THE BALL TO SWITZERLAND

A Bandy Bandy snake feeling threatened.

A calmer Bandy Bandy snake.

BANDY BANDY A STRIKING SPECTACLE

75 centimetres but this particular specimen appeared to be nearer to 60 centimetres. The snake’s natural reaction to a perceived threat is to contort its body into rigid, vertically oriented hoops, displaying the wider white bands of the shiny underside. It is believed that this action is designed to confuse any would-be predator and also, possibly, to protect the snake’s head which always remains on the ground. “This certainly worked with Abbi, although we know from a previous encounter with a carpet python that Abbi is distinctly cautious in her dealings with snakes,” Vic said. “In other words, she is a wimp. And we are glad she is.” Having got both Labradors safely indoors, Vic was able to take a close look at the evening’s visitor and witnessed the erect hoop being gently waved to and fro while the snake felt threatened. This can clearly be seen in the first photograph. Eventually the creature relaxed and adopted its more normal posture as evidenced by the second image. ●

When Vic Jakes of Cooroy Mountain let his two Labradors out for their evening ablutions on Sunday night he hadn’t expected one of them to discover a nocturnal moderately venomous snake. Vic noticed his nine-month-old Labrador Abbi was transfixed by a strange, glass-like hoop which appeared to be sticking up out of the grass and was reflecting the beams of the overhead floodlight. “She was staring intently at the object, but, thankfully, keeping a respectful distance from it,” he said. Closer examination of the focus of Abbi’s attention revealed it to be a Bandy Bandy, Vermicella annulata, a highly attractive black and white banded snake which is widely distributed throughout eastern and far northern Australia and is a burrowing nocturnal reptile which feeds almost entirely on blind snakes (Typhlopidae),” he said. The egg-laying Bandy Bandy can grow to around

A three-week visit by three siblings from Switzerland has spread the interest in handball. Thomas and Salome Luck from Switzerland enrolled their three children, Svenja, Silvan and Fiona, in Sunshine Beach State School for three weeks two years ago. International student co-ordinator Maree Thompson said being fully integrated within Fiona Luck shares her classes not only meant knowledge of Australia with that their fluency in her Swiss school mates. the English language improved immensely but they soon adopted the school culture of a coastal Queensland school, which of course includes the art of playing handball. “Walk around Sunshine Beach SS during break times and you’ll see children playing handball in not only designated court areas, but any flat surface that they can find,” she said. “The Luck children quickly discovered how much fun this was and on their return to Switzerland were eager to share their newly acquired skills. Svenja and Silvan introduced handball into their primary school by distributing two dozen handballs to fellow students. Svenja even wrote down a manual and the rules in German to ensure that all played by the same rules”. ●

STUDENT’S ART IS TURNING SOME HEADS The work of a St Andrew’s Anglican College Visual Arts student has been recognised among the best 35 in Queensland. Year 12 student Leon Zhan was last week named in the 2017 Creative Generations Excellence Awards in Visual Art for his painting Pool of Pleasure. Leon said his oil painting identified with notions of freedom. “What may seem egocentric and selfish at first, leads us to consider the fundamental need for times of pleasure and enjoyment - the swimming pool and pool toys act as symbols of leisure in an environment of escapism,” he said. Pool of Pleasure will be featured at the Creative Generations Visual Art Exhibition at Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) in 2018. St Andrew’s head of visual art Ben Hedstrom said the standout work was deserving of recognition for Leon’s talent and perseverance, after he spent more than 60 hours working on his painting in semester one. ●

MUSIC MAGIC EARNS THE MEDALS FOR THE BEST ENSEMBLES St Teresa’s Catholic College music students brought home four gold and four silver medals from the Queensland Catholic Schools and Colleges Music Festival (QCMF). The festival is a celebration of music attracting more than 110 schools from across Queensland, bringing with them more than 500 ensembles of over 14,000 students. Held at Villanova College in Coorparoo, students performed for the public and each performance is commented upon by nationally recognised adjudicators. QCMF is the single-largest festival of its kind in the Asia-Pacific Region. In only the second year of attending, St Teresa’s music students performed brilliantly

with each ensemble winning at least one award. The vocal group performed in blustery conditions on an outdoor stage in the Contemporary Ensemble Section. With winds blowing music sheets and stands over, the group continued in a professional manner winning a gold award for their efforts. Later the same day the group performed acapella in St James Church to a silent and stunned crowd and earned another gold award. St Teresa’s premier band Soul Collective was also awarded a gold as was smaller ensemble, Fuse. The Stage Band, Concert Band, String Ensemble and Small Instrumental Ensemble were all awarded silver. ●

JAZZ WAS JUST THE THING The Noosa Jazz Party was a big success with many events sold out and musicians set to return next year to do it all again. Organiser Patsy Stevens said the event was bigger and better than last year and they were already working on the program for next year. “The music was superb,” she said. “The Chorale was great. They sold out in The J two nights and we had another 80 seats available in the venue. “The Riverdeck Restaurant was wonderful and the concert in the park was extremely popular. “We got quite a few accolades during the event. “We’ve had musicians here who are very keen to do the same again next year.” ●

WHEN DECISION TIME COMES Becoming a councillor is an amazing adventure in representing the community and being in a position to make a difference, Noosa Councillor Ingrid Jackson told the inaugural Back Yourself conference in Noosa last week. The conference attracted some hundreds of women who listened to guest speakers provide guidance on how to be successful in what are frequently highly competitive situations. “Ideally, local government should reflect the diversity in the community, to be representative of local community needs and aspirations,” said Cr Jackson, who is Noosa’s only female councillor. She cited official statistics which show that while women make up just over 50 per cent of Queensland’s population, the representation of women on local councils is around 30 per cent. Cr Jackson said that

musical creativity, the Battle of the Bands was a resounding success again,” she said. “Each participant rose to the occasion and amazed the audience with their talent and confidence. Their abundance of enthusiasm filled The J at Noosa as singers and musicians brought the house down with their renditions of their chosen pieces.” Organisers promise the event will be “even bigger and better next year”. ●

a recent report on women in local government in Queensland said the reasons why women are underrepresented in local government pertain mostly to community attitudes, finance, competing responsibilities and personal characteristics such as a lack of self-confidence. She said the report also identified “the ‘boys’ club’ of local government” and the level of public scrutiny as factors that turn women away. “When people suggested I run for council, I wasn’t sure, so I made a list of pros and cons,” Cr Jackson said. “After making the list, I realised that the pros were real skills that I could bring and the cons were mostly fears I had invented, like being stressed dealing with opposition, not used to debating and being verbally persuasive, and a feeling of not being good enough. “I decided to face my fears and back myself. I ran for election and won.” ●

They’ve been seen capturing shots of whales and events around Noosa - and now the State Government is calling on people to have their say on a Drones Strategy to address the business opportunities and regulatory challenges for the growing industry. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk released a consultation paper on the future of drones technology in Queensland at last week’s World of Drones Congress in Brisbane. “Our whole-of-government Drones Strategy will be the first of its kind in Australia, and will help to ensure we have the right policies and programs in place,” she said. “To ensure we get it right, we need everyone to have their say - business, industry, research and the community. “We need to ensure industry can thrive, our research and development opportunities are maximised, our rights are protected and investment continues to flow into Queensland.” Have your say before consultation closes on 6 October.

LETTERS JUST THE FACTS I would like to comment on your story headlined ‘Pre-Election Tensions Aired: Rival Parties Trading Barbs’ (NT, 31 August). The contest to see who will have the honour of representing Noosa in the next parliament will be intense and so it should be, however it is important that the debate focus on substantiated facts. The facts that were omitted from this story include: The Labor Government slashed $63 million for road infrastructure from the Sunshine Coast region in the May budget. The Labor Government has had nearly 20 years to plan and fund a Beckmans Road upgrade. Several studies have not translated into costed plans, nor scheduled works.

MAKING THE FINAL CUT Garry and Diane Rogers would like to thank the community for their support for the last 24 years trading as La Butchery in Noosa Fair, Noosa Civic Centre and Noosaville Meat Market in Project Avenue. “We have enjoyed supporting the local sporting clubs, restaurants with our great quality meat and being a part of the Noosa Shire," Garry said. Garry has leased the factory in Noosaville to Absolute Providores so they could expand their business into larger premises, as their business grows from strength to strength. Garry first met proprietor of Absolute Providers, Robert Lee, in the 1970s. Robert has been in the meat industry for many years and provides valuable insight and knowledge sourcing great quality meat to our region, keep your eyes on the Noosaville factory where the local community may be able to purchase great quality meat directly. “See you around town or on the golf course,” Garry said. ●

Post your letters to: 36 Mary St, Noosaville, 4566 or email: newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au

The fact is there is no money in the out year planning in the Department of Transport and Main Road’s budget. I have met with the LNP leadership team on several occasions on site and have convincingly explained to them the need for the upgrade, not just for local traffic but as a bypass for Tewantin. I will continue to fight for this in the lead-up to the election. The Noosa TAFE was closed by the LNP because it did not fulfil its charter to train and create jobs for locals and as a result people stopped going there. The fact is that the travesty is not in its closure because it did not meet its charter, rather in the inaction of the current Labor Government who have kept it empty and allowed it to degrade for the past three years. The fact is it remains a casualty of one of Labor’s famous reviews, the find-

ings from which the Attorney-General has sat on for the past 12 months. Only the LNP has a policy to secure the future and expansion of the Noosa Hospital, which I proudly announced late last year. The Noosa Hospital promise includes a guaranteed 30-year lease and an additional $5 million dollars in funding indexed each year for public patient services. Glen Elmes MP, Member for Noosa.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH As a resident of Noosa for over 38 years I have sat back and kept my distance but when is enough - enough? On behalf of the other 50 odd thousand residents of the Noosa Shire, I am sure they will agree that we have all heard enough of

Noel Bird and his continuous criticism of one of Noosa’s most successful local businesses, the Discovery Group and local businessman, Wade Batty. Mr Bird clearly has absolutely nothing better to do with his life than to keep on keeping on about Elandra, which can only be seen as a great opportunity to promote ecotourism here in this beautiful place called home. I implore the editor to stop publishing Mr Bird’s nonsense. Given Mr Bird seems quite comfortable with dishing out advice, I think it is time he takes some advice: If you have nothing positive to say, then keep your proverbial shut. The entire Noosa Shire has had enough. Fred Haddon, Noosaville.

Radio 92.7 Mix FM dropped by Ivory Palms Resort for an outside broadcast this week to meet the locals and treat them to some of PK’s Cafe and Bar’s fabulous pizza. Resort manager Geoff Hussin said radio presenters Todd and Sami were great supporters of the cafe and resort. “They have stayed with their families a few times to enjoy a short break and some wood-fired pizza in our cafe,” he said. “We all enjoyed their show and comedy. Ashleigh Poulton was the guest singer who wowed us all with her magnificent voice and her Espresso Martinis too.” The cafe even created a special pizza with five types of bacon and cheese for their broadcast. “We called it the Cheebacca,” Geoff said. ●

family member was to move in. · Tenants can terminate with three months’ notice and give no reason. · Tenants can undertake certain renovations without permission from the landlord. · Landlords can only increase rents every two years and only by an amount determined by the Residential Tenancy Authority.

· A landlord could not terminate a tenancy agreement even if the property was being sold, meaning two-thirds of the property buying market (owner occupiers) would be eliminated from the transaction. Ms Mercorella said the Greens’ proposals were ludicrous and did not benefit Queensland’s rental market at all. “One of the most common clarion calls

of tenant advocates is that tenants should have the right to longer-term leases. But they already do,” she said. “Tenants have the right to negotiate a longer term lease with the landlord under the current legislation - but many tenants prefer flexibility and don’t want to be locked into a rental agreement when their work situation is not secure. “Queensland has a very mobile workforce, with workers moving to find new employment following the resources downturn and the GFC, which negatively impacted many Queensland primary industries,” she said. “In the years of the mining boom, we saw workers flock to western Queensland to work in the mines, and once that boom ended, workers moved on in search of work elsewhere,” she said. “Landlords in regional Queensland have been unsuccessfully trying to get tenants to take longer term leases.” Vacancy rates through most of regional Queensland are high, which means conditions favour the tenant. In Gladstone, the vacancy rate is 6.5 per cent. In Mackay, vacancies are at 4.5 per cent and in Rockhampton vacancies are at 7.2 per cent. This represents a weak market and tenants have the bargaining power but even in these areas tenants are not taking long-term leases. Frequently turning over tenants results in lost rent and increased fees for the landlord as property management costs rise in connection with filling the vacancy. “The Greens would have you believe that landlords are not accepting applications from tenants who want to secure their tenure, but it’s absolutely not the case and this simply demonstrates how out of touch the Greens are with Queenslanders and the Queensland rental market.” ●

THE state's real estate industry peak body, the REIQ, has labelled the Greens’ “Renter’s Rights” policy as unworkable and, if implemented, would pose a threat to the health of the rental market. The Greens have outlined a policy platform that would have landlords’ rights decimated in favour of tenants’ rights with no thought to the future health of the state’s rental market. One-third of Queenslanders rent and the overwhelming majority of those rent from private landlords therefore the continued participation of property investors is crucial to the state’s rental market sustainability, the REIQ has warned. REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said removing landlord rights would not benefit tenants, instead weakening the market and driving away a section of investors. “It’s simply unrealistic to expect that landlords will continue to invest in real estate if they are faced with untenable arrangements that don’t allow them to protect the value of their asset and strip them of fundamental rights,” she said. “Investors have a range of options open to them, including shares and other asset classes. If their rights to manage their property are removed they’ll simply choose to invest elsewhere,” she said. “Essentially, both tenants and landlords want the same thing - a ‘set and forget’ arrangement where both sides have security. “What we need is a regulatory framework that supports those goals. A balance must be found and it won’t be found if the Greens have their way,” she said. New rental arrangements forming part of the Greens’ policy include: · Landlords would have to give 12 months’ notice to end a tenancy agreement and even then only if the landlord or their

NOOSA TODAY 35

DON’T INVITE TROUBLE INTO YOUR HOME IN this day and age it’s unfortunate but there is the potential for a vacant property to be vandalised or fall prey to squatters. If owners suspect that squatters are on their property they should call police because it is a criminal matter. However there are some basic strategies and safeguards that property owners can implement if they know their property is going to be vacant. Mail and lawn maintenance Two key indicators that quickly let people know a property is vacant is if the gardens, lawns and mail are neglected. Nothing screams “empty property” more than an overflowing letterbox, with junk mail spilling out and tall grass in the front yard. Owners should hire someone to maintain their gardens and ask a friend or relative if they can collect mail.

Alternatively, ask a neighbour to collect the mail while the property is vacant. In the dark If a house doesn’t have any lights on when dusk sets in and through the early evening, it’s a clear sign that nobody is home. A casual observer who walks past a property regularly may observe a darkened home, without lights on, night after night. This is an advertisement that the property is vacant. Owners should consider installing a timer so that the lights are turned on in the early evening. Also make sure blinds and curtains are drawn to prevent prying eyes seeing in. Also consider getting a house sitter or letting a relative pop in from time to time to turn on the lights for an hour or two, open and close the curtains and bring the bins in and out.

This is a good way to create the impression that the house is occupied.. Connect with neighbours If there is a Neighbourhood Watch operating in the area, owners should make contact with the organisers and let them know that their property will be vacant for an extended period. The local police station will have details of the Neighbourhood Watch operating in the area. Providing the property details and keeping contact with the group will provide some peace of mind that watchful eyes are monitoring the situation. At the very least, let the local police station know that the property is going to be vacant. If anything happens they will be able to make contact immediately.

Rent it and get an income If the property is going to be vacant for any length of time, there is an opportunity to rent it out and get an income stream. By appointing a property manager owners can ensure that the property is well looked after and at the same time they are adding to their income - win win! In areas where rental yields are soft, remember the goal is to just cover the property management fees and other property-related expenses. So even if the property is neutrally or negatively geared, there are benefits to renting it out, even just for three or six months. Many people are aware that squatters have rights, but in Queensland they only kick in after the squatter has occupied the premises continuously for 12 years. ●

A Guide to Building & Renovating MAKE THE MOST OF ’EXTRA’ ROOM Given the high cost of raising children, your first reaction to having a bedroom available might be to rent it out and get a return. However, you can use this opportunity to rethink your home interior and give the room a more practical purpose. Here are some ideas to consider. Make the room a man cave ... you can move all the current game consoles, poker chips, maybe even a bar into the bedroom and get them out of the lounge room. You can then install a recliner in the lounge room and enjoy your movies in comfort.

12352021-RC20-17

MITCHELL CABINETMAKERS

Build an ensuite bathroom ... if the bedroom is located next to another, you can create an ensuite for the other room and instantly add value. Expand your living space ... if the bedroom is next to your lounge room, or a media room, you could knock down a wall and immediately open up a larger living area. Or you could build a new kitchen in the larger space and use the old kitchen area as a media room, office or family room. Create a home office ... if you’re working with your laptop from the dining table or

kitchen bench, you can turn the bedroom into a home office, complete with printer, scanner and storage for stationery and files. Add a sofa bed, in case you have an extra guest stay over, or when you need a break from the screen to think or read. Install a home gym ... now you have no excuse to avoid exercising. Install a home gym and make exercise a part of your early morning routine. If you have a hobby you can create a hobby room with all the tools and display areas you need to show off your creations. ●

California Dreaming, by Rick Price and Jack Jones

The Bone Witch, by Rin Chupeco

Classic Countdown, ABC, 6pm, Sundays

Rick Price and Jack Jones are just about to release a brand new studio album, California Dreaming on 29 September. A tribute to the west-coast California sounds of the ’60s and ’70s has been beautifully recorded by Australian music legends, Rick Price and Jack Jones with Rick at the production helm. Both Rick and Jack share a common love for the music of the period and were both equally enamoured by the idea of paying tribute to some of the greatest artists and songs of the 20th century. Recording the 12 track album in Nashville at his home studio, they pair pay homage to classic songs while respectfing the melodies and arrangements. ●

Tea is different from the other witches in her family. Her gift for necromancy makes her a bone witch, who are feared and ostracised in the kingdom. For theirs is a powerful, elemental magic that can reach beyond the boundaries of the living - and of the human. Great power comes at a price, forcing Tea to leave her homeland to train under the guidance of an older, wiser bone witch. There, Tea puts all of her energy into becoming an asha, learning to control her elemental magic and those beasts who will submit by no other force. And Tea must be strong - because war is brewing in the eight kingdoms, war that will threaten the sovereignty of her homeland ... ●

If you are of a certain age (you know, ‘old’” according to your kids) then this will be music to your ears! Yes Countdown is returning to the ABC, at that old familiar 6pm Sunday evening timeslot from 17 September. Countdown was staple viewing, essential even, for teens in the 1970s and ’80s. Taking a year per episode Classic Countdown will pay tribute to the iconic artists, the songs and that man Molly! Each episode has been restored and the archives have been searched to uncover performances not seen in a decade or three. The shows also feature the iconic voice of voiceover man Gavin Wood and each one is narrated by a performer. ●

WHAT’S ON HOLDING ALL THE CARDS

TRIO BRINGS THE HARMONIES

The Queensland premiere of David Williamson’s 50th play, Jack of Hearts, at Noosa Arts Theatre, is a romantic comedy with a twist. Jack of Hearts is a play about career professionals focused on the material things in life. The central character, Jack, a burned-out lawyer, pulls the plug on wealth and status only to find that his wife’s support is conditional on his six-figure salary. His wife a personal trainer decides to leave him for a self-obsessed television current affairs host. Real estate agent Stu, played by Williamson’s son Rory, and his wife Denys are struggling through marriage problems of their own. Sleazy Stu leaves a “deposit” in every house he’s trying to sell, and Denys stays with him only because he promises her children and a white Audi. What ensues are two love triangles. Comedies offer audiences a safe battle-

The Lions Den is one of the most exciting Acts born from Queensland consisting of three individually acclaimed and award-winning performers, Daniel Mallari, Joel Gonzales and Lloyd Saniel. This trio of Leos specialises in spectacular harmonies and continues to amaze audiences of all ages with their vocal range, control and tone - reminiscent of the celebrated Doo-Wop male vocal groups and artists formed in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s when pop, gospel and rhythm and blues came together in a new style that later crossed over to the pop charts with unprecedented success. The Lions Den presents the immensely popular and timeless cross over of doowop and pop music in a fresh exciting interactive and contemporary production celebrating legendary artists and music in a highly entertaining show. Their fully produced dynamic and diverse show features the timeless classics of renowned male hit makers including, The Platters, The Everly brothers, The Drifters, Bee Bees, The Beatles, Righteous Brothers, Frankie Valli and more. An unashamedly high-energy, feel good showcase with amazing harmonies and stunningly choreographed versions of everybody’s favourite hits. Appearing at the Tewantin-Noosa RSL on Saturday 9 September, 8pm, in the bistro. ●

WHAT’S ON LIBRARY LAUNCHES BOOK Noosa Library Service is launching its new book Noosa Remembers: a History of the World War I Memorials of Noosa Shire. The book documents the history of Noosa’s World War I memorials and pays tribute to the Noosa community’s efforts to fundraise and erect these cenotaphs, halls and other memorials. It also looks at the roles the memorials have played in our community. “This wonderful book tells an important story of how a community paid tribute to sacrifice and honour. It’s also a salient reminder of how such physical structures continue to resonate in the daily lives of Noosa Shire residents," Noosa mayor Tony Wellington said. "Creating memorials to the locals who served in World War I was very important to the community in the aftermath of the war," Noosa Library Service Heritage Librarian Jane Harding said. "And many of these memorials remain an enduring legacy in our towns." Many of the memorials feature the names of local men who served. No-

Polenta fries with truffle cream and shaved Parmesan and Spring cocktails make the perfect combo.

Local Yellowfin tuna, wasabi and potato rosti, wakame, pickled ginger, choy sum, ponzu shoyu and sesame seed. accompaniment - Polenta fries with truffle cream and the new dessert tapas - doughnut fingers with chocolate dipping sauce.

Featuring many Sunshine Coast locals and a regular rotation of some taps to showcase â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;seasonalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;limited releaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; such as 10Toes (Alexander Headlands),

BRIDGE CLUB DOWN MEMORY LANE MARKS TIME OF CHANGE BY HOLLIE HARRIS Noosa’s Bridge Club history is a rich tapestry with diverse personalities who poured their enjoyment of the game into the challenge of building a club in the early years. The club’s history began on two fronts, with the eventual melding of two groups which were teaching and playing at separate venues. Luc Turschwell opened the innovative Belmondo’s in Hastings Street and began looking for fellow bridge players. Luc, described as “far above and beyond” in his level of bridge, in 1976 had played the Italian Blue Championship Lancia team of Omar Sharif, Giorgio Belladonna, Benito Garozzo and Pietro Forquet. On this occasion, Luc teamed with Paul Lavings. Luc also teamed with Simon Andrew to win the 1st Australia - wide Pairs Championship. When the Lancia team was in Sydney, Simon chauffeured the group and was also responsible for the Cognac! Belmondo’s noosatoday.com.au

was an old house decorated with huge cushions, beach lounges, the first streetfacing chairs and a French /North African menu, all creating a vibrant, exciting and trendy beach scene and holiday atmosphere. It was here that a small group played bridge with Luc, and Simon teaching and playing. Penny Sykes and Sally Simmons, neighbours, lived across the street from the restaurant and after enjoying bridge, set about doing all the travelling score sheets which were allocated and then tabulated, a long and laborious process now wholly done with computerised Bridgemates at each table. Kath Finnemore (later Mrs Kath Nielson) was also giving bridge lessons at her home, and when the groups joined, the inaugural meeting of the Noosa Bridge Centre was held on 13 September, 1977. The foundation president was Luc Turschwell; vice-president, Freda Ellis; secretary, Kath Finnemore; treasurer, Mike Marc . There were nine members.

Heather Mott and her husband travelled to Noosa to holiday each year, and there are vivid memories of playing at each of the venues that followed with each trip until the club attained its permanent home. Play was convened over the following years at various players’ homes, Pine Trees Resort Motel, Noosa Bowls Club and then to Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club before the club purchased the 1947 built church/hall in James Street, Noosaville, on 28 October, 1986. The venues required that the tables and chairs were set up and then packed away after each day’s play. James Street saw much development and the spare block used for parking was to be developed, so the far-reaching decision was made to apply to council for land to move the club and give it a permanent home. Wallace Park estate land was offered, and the building was moved to its now current site on 16 March, 1994. The building was given a large addition, planning foresight for its future, and was

named the Les Shearer Room in honour of its president. Laurie Cowled remembers clearly the excitement of watching the building make its way to its new home on 16 March, 1994: “On 15 March, I note that I watched the club house being loaded onto a truck and took many photos. I set my alarm for 4am the next morning. On 16 March, I awoke before the alarm went off and from 3.45am until 11am watched the bridge club move ever so slowly to Wallace Park. “What a job! At various corners, power lines had to be taken down. In other spots, it was touch and go as to whether the truck and its load would fit through. “Looking back, I remember that the roundabout where you enter Wallace Park was so new that the trees had not yet been planted or that they were so small the truck with the club aboard went straight across it. “When it and the hangers on (like me) arrived at its new site, we were all on a high,” Laurie recalls. ●

FOCUS ON … Health

LIFT WEIGHTS TO LOSE WEIGHT

THREE … Foods that build muscle

BY TYRONE SAUL There is strong evidence to support that a combination of lifting weights and aerobic exercise not only assists in losing weight, but can prevent muscle atrophy (loss of muscle tissue) and other preventable diseases occurring in both male and females particularly between the ages of 20-40 years of age. Observations by Dr Micheal Colgan identified that the average female loses 3.6kg of muscle and gains 10kg of body fat between 20-40 years of age, while men lose almost a quarter of their lean mass between 20-80 years old. According to US researches at McMaster University, running, cycling, or other aerobic sports will not by themselves prevent lean tissue loss. Instead, a culmination of weight training and aerobic exercises is imperative in maintaining lean tissue while supporting increases in cardiovascular capacity. A six-year study by Bae and Cussler (2010) tested the hypothesis that women who maintained a high frequency and volume of resistance training, impacted significantly on body composition change (fat loss) particularly in post menopausal women, they state “that resistance training is a viable long-term method to prevent weight gain and unfavourable changes in body composition”. Additionally, their study concluded that both men and women benefit from aerobic and resistance training when combined, they note “that both have been shown to diminish body fat per cent and reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes.”

In general, eat proteins, vegies, fruits and fats every three hours. Two cups of water with each meal. Carbs post workout only. Junk food 10 per cent of the time. Get stronger in the meanwhile and you’ll build muscle and lose fat.

We need to build muscle to lose fat. Despite the overwhelming evidence that lifting weights assists in losing weight, it is a reminder to us that resistance and

aerobic training are feasible options for us as individuals to maintain or improve health outcomes irrespective of weight loss. ●

Whole eggs: Cheap and rich source of protein: 7g/egg. The yolk contains most nutrients: half the protein, vitamins A/D/E and cholesterol to naturally increase your testosterone levels. Don’t worry about cholesterol in eggs. Dietary cholesterol isn’t bound to blood cholesterol.

Yogurt: Contain bacteria that improve your gastrointestinal health. Don’t buy frozen yogurt or yogurt with added sugar and fruits at the bottom. Get plain low-fat yogurt. Eat it with berries and flax seeds.

Greens: Broccoli is high in cancer-fighting phytochemicals and anti-estrogenic indoles. Broccoli is also high in soluble fibre and low calorie, helping fat loss. Eat other cruciferous vegetables for a change: cabbage, bok choy, cauliflower, kale. Spinach is one of the most alkaline foods.

DOPHINS SEAL THE BIG DEAL NOOSA DOLPHINS Under 13 Grand Final Noosa 24 def Grammar 22 This was the last and best game of a long season that ended with Noosa winning the premiership with the last kick of the game. Noosa kept a narrow lead for most of the match until two minutes from the final whistle when a long phase of pressure from Grammar put them ahead by one point. There was just enough time left for 52 NOOSA TODAY

one more Noosa attack and, with the frenzied crowd behind them, the boys pushed Grammar back behind their 20 metre line and forced a penalty that was coolly converted by Jarrah Charlesworth for the three points that sealed the win and triggered celebrations that lasted for the rest of the day. Tries: Max Ruster 2, James Gelling Cons: Jarrah Charlesworth 3 Penalty goal: Jarrah Charlesworth ●

GOOD WIN AS FINALS LOOM NOOSA CROQUET Both Noosa 1 and Noosa 2 were active in the Shield competition this week with Noosa 1 playing at home, hosting Coolum, while Noosa 2 travelled to Bribie Island and played the Bribie team. Noosa 1 had tough matches where again the home players conceded 19 free hoops to the visitors. The end result saw Noosa 1 scrape home 6 matches to 4. Had the match results been drawn, Coolum would have finished on top as they took 59 hoops to Noosa’s 55. The individual match results follow with the Noosa players and scores shown first. Sally Stopps defeated Bev Robertson 5:4; Joan Cordell defeated Lionel Silbery 6:5; Joan lost to Bev 1:7 while Sally won 7:4 against Lionel. Margaret Lewins won against Lorraine Stott 6:5 and defeated Stef Little 7:4. Isobel McConnell narrowly fell to Stef Little

5:6 and lost handily to Lorraine Stott 7:1. In the doubles, Sally and Joan lost 8:10 to Coolum’s Bev and Lionel, while Margaret and Isobel defeated Stef and Sue Butler 9:7. Noosa 2 succumbed to Bribie 4 matches to 6 in closely fought battles, many of which were ended by the clock running out with hoops yet to be played. Susan Powley won her first single 7:3 but lost her reverse singles 4:5. Sheila Moncrieff defeated her opponent 7:4 in her first singles but lost her second singles 2:4, an extremely low score for 45minutes of play.

FIVE GRAND FINAL TRIUMPHS NOOSA DOLPHINS Rugby at Noosa is alive and well with the Dowling and Neylan Noosa Dolphins taking out the Sunshine Coast Rugby Union A Grade grand final defeating Caloundra for the second year in a row on Saturday. But it wasn’t just the A Grade who held a trophy aloft, but the Reserve Grade, Colts, Under 12s and Under 13s crowned premiers on the day. Having been beaten just the once this year, by Caloundra in the last round, Noosa went into the game as favourites, but knowing full well the determination that would be required to hold off the strong finishing Caloundra side. That approach proved to be the case, with the Lighthouses putting pressure on the Noosa side right until the end, not too dissimilar to last year, before the full time whistle had Noosa ahead 17-13. With such a resounding team performance across the paddock, A Grade Manager Tony Harmer nominated the defensive effort of Jarrad Postle as a highlight with the number 10 being targeted by the opposition with numerous ‘borderline’ hits coming his way throughout the game. “He is tough, no doubt, he just continually gets up and goes again,“ Harmer said. But it was undoubtedly the Reserve Grade victory that was truly sweet. Up against a confident Nambour side who had had the wood on all opposition this year, the Mason/Perugini/Frisby

coached Dolphins put on a clinical display to run out 24-12 winners. With the ageless Chris Massoud calling the shots in attack, Jonathon Davies, John Tarrant and Travis Perugini led the way against the ‘A Grade’ Toads forward pack, shutting down their previously dominant set plays. “Our game plan was simple - take it to their forwards to restrict their influence and let our classy backline look after the scoreboard, and that is exactly what they did,“ coach Rocco Perugini said. The future of the Dolphins is also looking healthy with the Under 19 Colts side stepping up against Maroochydore Swans to run out 46-10 victors in an impressive attacking display. “This side is blessed with speed and grit and has moulded into a close-knit group,“ coach John Dunning said. “They have been together coming through the ranks of the juniors for a few years and I have no doubt some of these lads will push for A Grade positions next year.“ Club President Donald McKill nominated the strong culture, commitment of volunteers both on and off the field and the Dolphins loyal supporters and sponsors when he was presented the Club Championship Shield. “To have five premierships from the six grand finals we contested today, plus our Women’s who took out the title last month, is something the Dolphins can and should be proud of,“ McKill reflected. ● noosatoday.com.au

A SURFER’S SURFER, A SHAPER’S SHAPER It was the first morning of the biggest surf festival we’d produced. Well, to be fair, we’d only produced the first one the previous year, but it had been so successful that our major sponsor, Breaka Flavoured Milk, decided to throw everything at it in 1999, enabling us to invite surfing’s greatest legends from around the world and conduct a re-enactment of the first world championships in 1964, featuring the five living finalists, and to stage the first ever world tandem surfing championships. Hey, it was going to be huge! But right now, on that first morning, I was stressed to the max. I’d been up half the night trying to hire a truck, when we found that the bus we’d chartered to deliver the international tandem competitors from Brisbane Airport couldn’t fit 12-foot tandem boards in its luggage hold. That problem solved, the skies had opened up before dawn and torrential rain had closed roads all over Eumundi, preventing our photographer, Michael Simmons, from getting to the beach. But by mid-morning the skies were starting to clear, our tents on the beach had survived the deluge and it looked like all would be well for our official opening ceremony and paddle out that afternoon, to be officiated by the highly-respected Hawaiian surfing elder Richard “Buffalo” Keaulana. Then my phone rang. It was Buffalo’s

travelling companion and minder, who also happened to be the chairman of the Bank of Hawaii. He said: “Buffalo can’t go ahead with a ho’okupu (the traditional Hawaiian blessing) without the presence of a representative of the traditional owners of the land.” He was right, of course, and it was an oversight never to be repeated, but in those days we weren’t so aware of welcome to country, and all that it signified. Nevertheless, I rang off and frantically began trying to track down a Gubbi Gubbi representative. Eventually I located Evie Feisel but she was interstate and couldn’t make it to Noosa in time. I had nowhere else to turn. But then I had an inspiration. I phoned Bill Wallace and, apologising for the late notice, I told him that Buffalo had requested that “an elder of the Noosa surfing tribe” conduct the opening ceremony with him. As he always did, Bill accepted with grace and good humour. I phoned Buffalo’s minder back and said: “There are no traditional owners available but Bill Wallace, who is the elder of the Noosa surfing tribe, is happy to accompany Buffalo.” “Just give me a minute,” he said. I could hear them talking in the background, inside the Hawaiian-style apartment at Jim Tatton’s brand new South Pacific Resort. “Are you there, Phil? Yes, Buffalo says he

would be honoured to be joined by tribal elder Mr William Wallace. We will arrive half an hour before the ceremony. See you then.” Now that he’s gone, this remains one of my favourite memories of Bill, standing alongside the regal Buffalo, bedecked in Hawaiian leis, together carrying the koa mixing bowl to the shoreline at First Point in the beautiful golden afternoon light, to mix the waters brought from surf breaks from around the world for this, Noosa’s first truly international surfing event. The memory is also tinged with regret and embarrassment at my neglect of appropriate protocol as an event organiser, but the nobility etched into the faces of these two wonderful men as they carried out the simple ceremony overpowers that. And Billy Wallace was our tribal elder. At the first Noosa Festival of Surfing in 1998 he was our poster child and we honoured him at a great dinner at Bistro C, attended by many of the friends he had made in over half a century as one of Australia’s leading surfers and boardbuilders. And in subsequent years he became a figurehead not just for the Noosa Festival but for our rich surfing history and culture. As I observed him getting older and less mobile - although he was still terrorising motorists on his mobility scooter on Noosa Hill close to the end - Bill became the catalyst for an idea I had to document the

history of the pioneer days of surfboard building in Australia through the eyes of the pioneers themselves before it was too late. Bill was a ready participant, and he had a million stories to share over a home brew, but he also smoothed the way for me, making phone calls to some of the pioneers I hadn’t seen in 30 years. A wartime apprentice in a munitions factory, a champion “toothpick” paddler and beach inspector at Bronte during the bikini ban years, a master craftsman of surfboards in ply, balsa and foam, and one of the leaders of the surfboard industry during its golden era, Billy Wallace crammed a lot into his 91 years. The surfing world will remember his many accomplishments, but what I will remember most is his gentlemanly manner, his ready smile and his wicked sense of humour, still firing a few weeks back when Bob McTavish, Tom Wegener and I said our farewells at his bedside. Just as we did that day, I hope Bill is already sharing a glass of bubbles and a laugh with the other Men of Wood and Foam who have passed in recent months Midget Farrelly and Joe Larkin. Bill, you were the full package. The surfer’s surfer, the shaper’s shaper. Rest in peace, old mate. ●

NOOSA TODAY 53

SPORT TODAY

DREAMS DO COME TRUE BY RON LANE For the sport mad Aussie last weekend must have been like Christmas. It all started on Saturday morning when the Dolphins A Grade rugby union team assembled on the verandah of the Noosa Surf Club for their traditional grand final day breakfast, a tradition that goes back many years; make the grand final and the Surf Club plays host to a good luck breakfast. The rest is now history for not only did the A Grade win the final, but also their reserve grade and the Colts. “Three finals and three premierships,” said club president Donald McKill. “There could not be a better season. The whole club has worked as one and look what they have achieved. Well done to everyone; players, coaches, work force, sponsors and the whole town in general.” As the president said, the support of the town was unbelievable. The ground was packed and when the final whistle blew the crowd erupted. Interesting to note that Noosa's win in the reserve grade over Nambour (20-12) was Nambour's only defeat for the season. When the after game party got underway, it was interesting the number of people who made the comment, “Hope the Noosa Pirates can get up tomorrow, it will give Noosa the double; winning both the Union and the League.” In what can only be described as a fairy

Zac Friend (brother of Sydney City Roosters Captain Jake Friend). tale ending, that is exactly what happened. At Stockyard Park Stadium Kawana, Noosa Pirates did the unthinkable by upsetting the favourites Maroochydore Swans 24-6. Once again Noosa's Lucky 7 came to the forefront. Travelling home on the club bus after the game, he sat quietly in a front seat and after a while, Mick Plant, Noosa's former

player coach and first ever coach to win an A Grade final, turned his head and quietly said, “You know mate, it is forty years since we won our first premierships; I know because I was the coach. But I've got to be honest - this one is one of the sweetest. Why? Because everyone was saying it couldn’t be done - but we did it. Great coach (Ron Greentree) having his first crack as the A Grade coach and a great team of young blokes.” As we assembled at the clubhouse for the trip to Kawana, one thing had become obvious and that was the club pride - we can and we will - it was in everyone's mind. But the big factor was the number 7. “There it is again,” said many supporters, “our number 7. First win in '77 again in 1987 and then again in 2007 during Goldies (a former coach) three year winning streak. Now again there is a number 7- it is going to be our year.” People on the streets couldn’t believe it. “Is it true Pirates made the final - how did they achieve that?” If ever there was a great example of what pride can do for a club it would have to be the Pirates of ’17 “While you have still got your pride anything is possible.” They were really down; on one occasion they even had to forfeit - not enough players. But now the Noosa Pirates of 2017 are the rugby league premiers of the Sunshine Coast. The impossible dream is now a reality. ●

CHAMPION STORM HEADS TO STATE TITLES Noosa District State High School Year 9 student Storm Walker had much success in a variety of athletics events held at school and at the districts and regionals, and will go on to represent the state in October. The NDSHS athletics day saw Storm take out first placing in all athletics events except shot put, where she was placed second, and she was awarded the overall age champion. Storm came first in long jump, first in triple jump, third in the 100 metre running event and second in the 200 metre event and achieved age champion at the district athletics level. She competed at the regionals last week and placed third in the long jump, and second in triple jump. The state titles are next for Storm in October for long and triple jump, with her qualifying jumps in the regionals for long jump an impressive 4.98 metres and the triple jump 10.26 metres. Storm’s mother Justine Walker is so impressed with her daughter’s outstanding efforts and success. “I’m so proud and want to share the good news with the school,” Ms Walker said.
