MORE TO LOVE The editor’s desk Where and how will older people be living in future decades? This is what I wondered after Monday's general council meeting where Noosa councillors discussed the application for a 90-bed aged care facility in Noosaville and the need for more aged care for our ageing population. Councillors were told there would be a greater need for aged care to meet the needs of the population which by 2026 will compose 25 per cent of those over 65 years and 30 per cent a decade later. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) only five per cent of older people live in aged care. More people are staying in their own homes and accessing services as needed. The introduction of NDIS next year may bring more services. ● - Margaret Maccoll

THIS WEEK WE’RE TALKING ABOUT… MAN DROWNS AT PEREGIAN BY HOLLIE HARRIS 30-year-old Peregian Beach man, Lindsay Connolly, was pulled unconscious from the water at Noosa National Park early Monday morning. A rescue helicopter and paramedics were called to Dolphin Point by a bystander to assist lifeguards at 7.40am, but the was unable to be revived. An off-duty lifeguard was surfing nearby and pulled the man to the beach where he was worked on by paramedics. He showed no signs of life. The man had been body boarding with friends in powerful surf when he became caught in a tricky spot around rocks. QLD Surf Life Saving media spokesman said Dolphin Point is known to be a hazardous area to swim and surf when conditions are rough. "It is where we have the most high-risk incidents," the spokesman said.

A 30-year-old Sunshine Coast man lost his life at Dolphin Point, Noosa National Park on Monday. Mr Connolly was a drummer in local band Messium and worked as a carer for 5 years for his mother, Karlene who he lost 5 months ago. ●

Cr Ingrid Jackson

PEER COMPLAINTS LACK SUBSTANCE "Not substantiated", "lacking in substance" and "frivolous" was the finding by an external assessment of official complaints made against Noosa Councillor Ingrid Jackson by two of her fellow councillors. In separate lists the two councillors made seven complaints against Cr Jackson they claimed were breaches of Council's code of conduct. The complaints related to procedural matters at council meetings and posts on Cr Jackson's Facebook page. Noosa Council's acting CEO Alan Rogers said in order to assess the complaints Council's CEO engaged an independent third party to provide advice in relation to these matters. "In accordance with section 176 of the Local Government Act 2009, the CEO then reviewed this advice and agreed that the complaints could not be substantiated," he said. "Therefore no further action was required." Cr Jackson said it "had been a trying time, extending over many months" and she was "relieved and pleased with the outcome".

She believed the complaints were an attempt to humiliate her and shut down her Facebook page which she uses to provide information and gain feedback from the community about Council deliberations. "People expect politics to be hard-edged, but it should not be personal," she said. "Both councillors could have raised their concerns with me first, but they went straight to a formal complaint. "Councillors must respect the rights of colleagues to disagree without regarding them as antagonists. After all, the people of Noosa elected each one of us as a free voice. "Politics, especially at a local level, should not disparage or intimidate individuals. It should a vehicle for mature leadership and sound decision-making." Under section 176C(7) of the Local Government Act penalties may apply if a person makes a complaint about a councillor which is much the same as a complaint previously made by that person and found to be unsubstantiated. ●

Groups merged.

MOVE TO UNITE PEREGIAN Community organisations Peregian Beach Family and Friends Association (PF&FA) and Peregian Springs Residents Association (PSRA) merged at a meeting on Saturday and hope to use their combined numbers to garner support for issues including the creation of a bike path connecting Peregian Springs, Peregian Breeze and Peregian Beach. PSRA president bob Joubert said it made sense to combine resources to deliver better outcomes for Peregian residents. PF&FA president Kane Livingstone said their aim was to create a combined organisation of 450 members to champion the needs of the whole Peregian community and “transcend the artificial local, state and federal electorate boundaries.

He said members relished “the opportunity to bring the community and its leaders together for the benefit of all of Peregian”. Mr Joubert said the group would focus on four main projects over the next 12 months - “developing a calendar of community events and activities; building community support for more local volunteer lifesavers on Peregian Beach; progressing the bike path connecting Peregian Beach and Springs, and encouraging the inclusion of residents in Peregian Breeze”. Ninderry MP Dan Purdie who attended the meeting, said he welcomed the amalgamation of the two groups into a single voice for the local area. ●

COVER STORY Amy shines - with her youngest child, daughter Nunyara. Photos: Dave Gleeson surfshots.com.au

THE LIGHT IN THE SHADOWS BY HOLLIE HARRIS

man who has witnessed a nation in transition across seven decades has stories to tell - stories that disappear once his frail, 70-year-old body gives out from illness. With his daughter curled up on a recliner at his side and a beloved cat snuggled into his feet, just as she had done on all other nights, his nurse prepared for his last moments. A wife and son held strong, knowing the man's stories would only continue through them after that evening. After holding each other through the man's last breath and shedding tears together, palliative care nurse, Amy Cadd drove away from the people who she had met only a few days earlier with tears trailing down her cheeks. Full of gratitude that she had been able to hold space for them during their most vulnerable, private moment, she headed home to her three children and husband, tucked up in their beds. 4 NOOSA TODAY

I talk with Amy about how she finds joy and meaning in a life lived where her work is spent in the shadow of death, literally. "As far as how it feels, I feel honoured to be in the homes and lives of these people and their families. It's a privilege that I don't take lightly," she says. "To be with people while they are dying or after they have died is very special. The depth of relationship that is formed with the dying person as well as their loved ones is wonderful, and I value that immensely." Palliative care came about initially from hospice care, which is end-of-life care. The palliative part was intended to make patient's lives more comfortable, to reduce suffering and increase quality of life. Palliative care nurses need to cope with death, but they also need to learn to cope with personal loss. The nature of the care nurses' work revolves around loss, and that can lead to them bearing a large burden which can affect their livelihoods. "It definitely has the potential to wear

me down. But there is so much that also enriches me, and this work feels so natural. I am deeply inspired by the courage and growth I witness in my clients and their loved ones. Conversations and time shared with clients guide me to be present and grateful for the good things and not get caught up in superfluous distractions. "This work keeps me very grounded, and reminds me to value my family, friends, community and the beauty of our natural surroundings. Being part of an amazing team at Little Haven also allows me to express my emotions and frustrations authentically - we all look out for each other really well."Age and experience have taught Amy to recognise when she needs to step back and to step up with her own self-care. "This can include time spent at the beach, fun activities with family and friends, and immersing myself in creative arts like dance, music, writing and art. It's important to be nurtured, as we can't give from an empty cup."

Acknowledging her grief is something Amy has also learned to master. A weekend of sharing sacred time with her clients and their families in their homes, as two souls pass away peacefully, pain-free and surrounded by their loved ones, is not something many of us could take on and I ask her why does she want to do this? "I initially got into Community Nursing 12 years ago - I truly underestimated firstly how complex and specialised it would be, and secondly how much I would love it. That was my first introduction to Palliative Nursing and it was life-altering," she says. "I form genuine connections and care, and I feel the loss. It doesn't mean I shouldn't do this work, it means that I'm doing it properly." Holding space in the dying process for families seems a monumental task difficult for me to grasp. Predicting what the fundamental needs of each different family will be is a gift which, surely, cannot be taught. noosatoday.com.au

"It's as unique as each person is. Each person's journey brings it's own challenges. Sometimes they require space and silence and others settle best with the laughter and chatter of family all around them. For me, I use a combination of my Nursing assessment experience, my intuition and listening, to work out how best to assist each family." Throughout her extensive nursing career, Amy has worked in various fields and environments including Hospitals, Clinics, Mental Health Facilities, a Maximum Security Prison and her favourite - the Community. She is passionate about positive palliative outcomes and experiences for clients and their families and about sharing some of the ways we can sensitively journey with, and hold the space around death and dying. These days, Amy shares the life lessons she learns daily from the people who inspire her the most, her clients, with the public. Through a series of Ignite Sunshine Coast talks, she has been able to voice that this is a topic less about "death-denying" and more "death positive." "The response has been very positive and encouraging. It's heartening to know that people are keen to know and learn more about end of life care and how they can perhaps prepare themselves better for what can be a very challenging and vulnerable time in our life journey," she says. Surveys consistently show that around 70 percent of Australians wish to die at home, and yet in some areas less than 20 percent actually do. "Myself, along with my colleagues both at Little Haven and beyond are keen to reconcile the discrepancy between these statistics. I hope that by providing a safe space to talk about a topic that has been traditionally taboo, it can assist people to be empowered with informed choices and positive experiences." Amy held a workshop in Brisbane recently on "Holding the Space of Dying" and received many messages and requests to hold more. By popular demand, she will host two workshop sessions in Tewantin on 4 November called "Demystifying Death" - a light and non-confrontational information session to bring awareness and understanding to assist in supporting those dealing with or wanting to know more about the dying process. "I know it can be challenging to talk about death and dying, but the more we know the better we can deal with the inevitable," Amy says. We rarely stop and think about the unusual ways some Australians earn a crust and what it is that drives and sustains them when their work pushes them to their emotional or physical limits. Amy possesses a unique combination of incredible strength and resilience with a truly engaged heart, which enables her sincerity to translate to the families she cares for in their darkest hours. "Working in palliative care gifts me with the continual reminder to be grateful for each day and each precious member of my family and friends. "The abundance of life, energy and joyful exuberance in my children beautifully balances the natural gentleness and stillness of dying, and when I encounter scenes like this that take my breath away, I am reminded to be grateful and breathe in the magic of the moment." â&#x2014;? noosatoday.com.au

THEY JUST DO IT BECAUSE THEY CARE After 20 years living in Noosa former registered nurse Jill Weatherley decided to give back to the community by volunteering as a personal carer at Katie Rose Cottage Hospice. Along with a team of personal carers at the hospice that opened 24 hours a day in August Jill spends one five-hour shift a week caring for guests during the final days of their lives. It's a far cry from the busy wards at Noosa Private Hospital where she worked for 16 years before retiring two years ago but is a role she has found very rewarding. "I do enjoy caring for people, even if they are really quite ill" she said. "If I can give to them it makes me feel happy and satisfied. "The emphasis is to keep them comfortable and give them everything they need. Pain killers are a very important part of care. If the guest is pain free they are

Jill received training before taking on her role at the hospice which includes both physical and emotional support as well as supporting the families. "They are going through a traumatic time, losing someone they love," she said.

NEWS POKIES PUT TO THE TEST

GOOD HEALTH SPURS ON GOOD SPORTS TO A WIN Oz Tag athlete Skye Hill had a set back in her chosen sport when she ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) causing her to miss her chance to play with both an Indigenous side and Australian team. Thanks to the Sporting Chance Foundation Skye is now back on track, attending regular physio and has returned to play. About two years ago orthopaedic surgeon Dr Daevyd Rodda and physiotherapist Andrew Duff went searching for a way to help people who didn't have ready access to good orthopaedic care and rehabilitation. The Sunshine Coast based medical professionals connected with AFL Queensland Indigenous and multicultural engagement manager Darren Allie and not for profit organisation Sporting Chance Foundation was born. "We decided Indigenous kids with sporting injuries were at high risk of not getting treatment in a timely way and that could impact on their sport," Dr Rodda said. Last Saturday night Sporting Chance Foundation hosted its inaugural fundraising ball at Noosa's Sofitel. The sold out event aimed to raise funds to help cover costs of transport and accommodation to bring aspiring athletes to their health facilities and raise awareness of the organisation. Since its inception the foundation has grown nationally with support from various

They hope the athletes they help will go on to become role models for their communities. Additionally, by creating positive interactions with medical professionals Dr Rodda hopes that this in turn will encourage other members of their community to seek medical help when needed.

So far, Sporting Chance Foundation has helped young athletes from as far as Townsville to Sydney receive prompt surgery and rehabilitation following an injury, Dr Rodda said. The Foundation recognises that to further this reach and help athletes from more remote communities, they need additional funds to cover flights, accommodation and other medical or rehabilitation costs.

State Government advised Noosa Council it had no authority over the regulation of gaming machines but that did not stop Councillors at the General Meeting on Monday from debating Tewantin Noosa RSL's 195 poker machines in discussing its application for an extension to its gaming room. Council had deferred a decision on the RSL's application in July to obtain advice from the State Government on its powers to regulate poker machine numbers via its planning provisions or other regulatory instruments. "The issue of gaming machines, given current definitions, is not seen to be a planning matter. The regulation of these under the Gaming Regulation is the current mechanism for regulation" was the response. The RSL's initial application requested an extension to its gaming area for the provision of 180 gaming machines. At the General Meeting councillors said council had received a complaint to say the club had 195 gaming machines.The RSL requested that reference to the number of gaming machines be removed. Council officers recommended the application be amended to reflect 195 gaming machines which had been approved by the State. Councillors voted in favour of the recommendation with the final decision to be made at Council's Ordinary Meeting this evening. Tewantin Noosa RSL CEO Phil Stephenson said the club had a right to request increases in the number of gaming machines under State Government regulations. â&#x2014;?

EXECUTING THEIR OWN IN WWI The Western Front during the First World War was a place closer to hell than any man has ever been but a new novel by Wide Bay author and historian Tony Matthews tells the story of an incredible struggle for survival. The soldiers fighting in the trenches at that time were faced with not one, but two murderous enemies: the German forces facing them across No-Man's-Land comprised their principal foe but there was another insidious adversary and this was the British military system itself. A Dawn with no Birdsong is a novel but has been inspired by real historical events. Few people today know of the hidden statistic of the First World War but it is a fact that the British were callously executing their own soldiers and members of their allied forces at the rate of one man approximately every four days for the entire four years of the war. November 11 this year marks the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War but one of the least known aspects of the war is that 121 men serving with Australian military forces were sentenced to death during the conflict, many of them just country lads who had volunteered for service without really knowing what they were letting themselves in for. The Australian Government during the war banned the use of capital punishment and no Australians were legally executed with the exception of several who were serving with the New Zealand or South African military forces. One man, a former miner from Dubbo, was shot arbitrarily

Tony Matthews with a tower of 30 books he has authored.

The ‘Shot at Dawn’ memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, England unveiled in 2001. without trial after he had refused to carry ammunition or fight. He is the only Anzac known to have been shot to death on orders from a superior officer. A Dawn with no Birdsong delves deeply into the policy of the British military in executing soldiers for misdemeanours such as sleeping at a post, shell-shock, striking an officer, and other similar 'crimes'. During the four years of war a total of 346 men were executed by British firing squads for just such offences. Some of the victims were as young as seventeen years. Most of the executed men were subsequently pardoned posthumously by the British Government but for many decades the families of those soldiers had

been forced to live with the shame and ignominy. Additionally, the men who had been forced to form the firing squads also had to live with their actions, and the guilt never left them. Some in later life committed suicide.

Tony Mathews said he wrote the novel as a tribute to all those soldiers who were killed unnecessarily by their British masters. A Dawn with no Birdsong is available at bookstores, from the publisher, Boolarong Press and from Amazon. ●

BINDI’S STORY WINS GOLD

It quickly became evident as to why the performance took out the top award for the coast. ●

award winning performance for their local community at the school's annual concert, The Sunshine Spectacular recently.

More than 50 Noosa business women gathered last week at The Powerhouse for the first Alpha Women of Noosa event held to showcase the growing percentage of female entrepreneurs within the local region. From lawyers to life coaches, real estate agents, architects, copywriters and everything in between, the room was packed with women in a wide range of businesses and industries, many with children at home but all the owner and operator of their business. Powerhouse founder Aimee Sherriff said she called the night Alpha Women of Noosa in honour of the "go-getters" in the community. "For me, an alpha is a woman who goes for it, who carves her own path, who isn't told what she should, shouldn't do," she said. The business owners were treated to talks from three Powerhouse members and the chance to network with like-minded entrepreneurs to develop a wider network. "Little connections can make a big impact," she said. "Connection leads to caring and the more you care the more you act. You can see this in the notion of buying local and it's what we want to foster."

Sunshine Beach State School struck gold when they recruited 42 students to join their Wakakirri team this year, taking out the Sunshine Coast Regional Finals. Wakakirri is an Australian national Story-Dance festival for both primary and secondary schools that has been running since 1992. With it being Australia's largest Performing Arts event for schools, involving over 20,000 students across the country, the team can be proud of their success. A Wakakirri Story Dance theatrically tells a story using a combination of dancing, acting and creative movement to prerecorded music. Focusing on a local role model, Sunshine Beach told 'Bindi's Story', showing Bindi Irwin's life as a performer and wildlife warrior. The performance highlighted her childhood growing up at the zoo, the tragic loss of her father Steve, her roles in television and film, and her success in America's Dancing with the Stars. Students from Years 4 to 6, (and a courageous young boy from Year 1 playing Robert Irwin) dedicated months of rehearsals to ensure their performance was perfect. With a menagerie of animals and an army of khaki, the story took life on the stage of the Caloundra Events Centre. The judges called the performances 'stunning' and praised the cast for their 'very strong and beautifully portrayed emotional transitions'. The Wakakirri team repeated their

SOCIAL SCENE

PINK PADDLERS TAKE TO THE WATER BY MARGARET MACCOLL Despite having had recent surgery to remove brain tumours Debbie Rielly travelled from Victoria to take part in Sunday's Paddle in Pink breast cancer fundraiser as she has every year since it was begun four years ago by Lachlan Stevens of Boardwalk Boats. The former triathlete was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003. On Saturday she joined her sister-in-law Robyn Slavin on stand up paddle boards in the event which raises money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Noosa Sound once again turned into a river of pink with all shapes and sizes of water craft and their pink-clad sailors taking part and luckily the rain eased off for the paddle. ●

FOCUS ON … Pinktober PINK PRECINCT FUN TRAIL BY HOLLIE HARRIS Cooroy's Pink Precinct Fun Trail is one of those typically unique Cooroy events. This Saturday 20 October, Cooroy's streets will be awash with walkers decked out in weird and wacky pink outfits all participating in a pink treasure hunt. While this event is an outright fun fest it also has an important cause - raising funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation and awareness about the most commonly diagnosed disease in Australia that sees 1 in 8 Australian women and 1 in 700 Australian men expected to be diagnosed in their lifetime. Getting involved is simple and sure to be fun. Dress in pink, turn up at the Cooroy Memorial Hall at 8.30am on Saturday 20 October, purchase a passport for a gold coin donation and then embarked on a fun trail around Cooroy searching for pink objects and one blue object. There are loads of prizes up for grabs for best costumes and also lucky door prizes for people completing the trail. All ages and fitness levels can participate in the fun, with previous years seeing everything from prams to canines joining in. There is even some fancy pink entertainment thanks to the support of Nova Star Productions and Aerial Dreaming. As is always the case in Noosa, local businesses have generously sponsored the event by donating prizes. Hosted by Cooroy Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by Belvedere News, Fiona

Winter Realty, Cooroy Future Group, Cooroora Woodworkers, Butter Factory Shop, Lou Lou's Hair and Beauty, Cooroy Drapery, Cooroy Harvest Fresh, Katie Rose Cottage Op Shop, The Sacred Pantry, Noosa Physiotherapy, Inspired Martial Arts, Hinteractive Physio, Cooroy Fusion Festival, Hinternoosa, The Shed @ Cooroy, Bold as Love Jewellery, Efitness, Countryside Realty, Cooroy Camphor Laurel, Cooroy RSL, Cooroy Shoes & Accessories, Blue Brown Bag, LiveLife Pharmacy, Lakeridge Health & Beauty, Wright Cut Meats, Firefly Solutions and Cooroy Golf Club. Also supported by SES, Noosa Council, Cooroy Memorial Hall Association and Cooroy Family Practice. Back in the hall from 10am will be prize giving and speeches including local breast cancer survivor Kerrie Bryant-Adams sharing her story. Put it in your diary, if you miss it you'll regret it. ●

IF YOU’VE HAD BREAST CANCER WE CAN HELP! WE WANT TO HELP YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE IN YOUR CLOTHES

Look good, feel good when you need it most of all.

SUPPORT AFTER CANCER FIGHT The Big C, the dreaded C word ... breast cancer! The words that no woman ever wants to hear but unfortunately so many do. The good news is survival rates are on the up due to medical advances, so that leaves you to focus on recovery after you've had a mastectomy, and to look great in your own clothes again. Gone are the days where a mastectomy patient has to settle for second best in the breast form and lingerie department. No more filling the breast cup with tissues or fabric, or being uncomfortable all day in a poor fitting bra. No more "frumpy" lingerie ... ever. Firstly, breast forms have come a long way in recent times. There are literally dozens of shapes, weights and sizes to choose from, which will match as closely to your remaining breast as possible. There are also breast forms that can be used while swimming or exercising, so your lifestyle doesn't have to change. For ladies who have had bilateral surgery, picking the breast size you've always wanted to be, is now an option. Post-mastectomy wear such as bras and noosatoday.com.au

swimwear have also gone ahead in leaps and bounds. No more do you just have nude, black and white to choose from. There are many beautiful colours and designs available for breast cancer survivors to try on and look great in. The other good news is that the Federal Government will cover the cost of your breast prosthesis up to $400, per breast, every two years for the rest of your life. Many private health funds also cover the cost of post-mastectomy bras, so its worth giving them a call. The key to success, and looking beautiful in your clothes, is to have a professional fitting by a trained lingerie and prosthesis fitter. You don't have to settle for second best. At Tracey G Prosthetics and Lingerie Maroochydore and Auchenflower, the team are Amoena trained and certified, and won't be satisfied with your new look, until you are. Pretty much everything they sell and do is for you ... the breast cancer survivor. Tracey G Prosthetics and Lingerie is located directly across from the Maroochydore RSL on First Avenue.

CYCLISTS ON ROADS DEBATE There has been an intense debate on the Noosa Council Facebook site about cyclists on our roads. Bicycle lanes on our roads, exist for a reason - to provide a safe space for cyclists. There is no reason for cyclists to go outside this lane unless they are overtaking, and they should do so only if there are no cars coming. Many cyclists travel two abreast with one in the car lane. This endangers both the cyclist AND the car driver, who must swerve out to avoid hitting them. On roundabouts cars have to stop and give way to other cars. Many cyclists think that this does not apply to them, and sail into roundabouts expecting cars to give way. Stopping to wait for cars is seldom on their agenda - and roundabouts are where many car/cyclist collisions occur. The lack of common courtesy and consideration to motorists, by cyclists, particularly those in training for competitions, gives all cyclists a bad name, and causes drivers to resent their presence. For their own selfpreservation, cyclists need to heed the above. Joy Ringrose, Pomona

DISAPPOINTED WITH COUNCIL I’d like to reply to Ms Walkden’s letter concerning Noosa Shire Council. I think Dom Massoni is disappointed with council because they follow too many of the policies formulated by the groups you mentioned as consultants - Tourism Noosa, Noosa Shire Residents and Ratepayers Association, Hastings Street Association, Qld Parks and Wildlife Service, Noosa and District Land Care, Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, Friends of Noosa and Noosa Parks Association; most are anti-development organisations not particularly interested in the economy. With respect I don’t believe you understand how council operates - capital works have to be budgeted within a timeframe. NSC are continually behind with their projects because they’ve over committed and under resourced. Though lack of funding is a major impediment, the mayor seems incapable of resolving the TAFE issue.

LUCKY TO HAVE COAL With wildly fluctuating wind speeds and only an occasional bit of sunshine, aren’t we extremely lucky to still have coal-fired electricity to keep the home and business operating. After a day or two of the weather we’re having, wind turbines and solar panels (even with batteries) would leave us powerless - in the dark with melting fridges and cold cooktops. You can be opposed to coal, but be aware that without it life would be pretty miserable. Case Smit, Noosa

Noosa Today is Noosa Shire’s only fully independent, weekly community newspaper.

Noosa’s community is invited to get in costume and jump aboard a once-ina-century, commemorative flotilla on Remembrance Day. “In 1918, Tewantin locals celebrated the end of the war by decking their boats in patriotic colours and heading down river in a lively procession,” Acting Mayor Frank Wilkie said. “We’re hoping that everyone will get into the spirit of the occasion and decorate their boats to re-enact this event. Dressing up is also encouraged, but not mandatory. “This appears to have been a unique event in 1918 - heritage officers haven’t found evidence of a similar flotilla taking place anywhere else in Australia at this time.” The flotilla re-enactment is part of a community event being organised by Noosa Council to commemorate the 100-year

anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended World War I. Council is calling on the boating community to participate in this event. Anyone with a watercraft, be it fishing boat, ski boat, canoe, catamaran, or houseboat can register and join in. Watercraft will congregate north of Tewantin (adjacent to Sheep Island) then head en masse down the river past Tewantin Memorial Park and disband downstream from The Boathouse restaurant. QF5 Noosa Coast Guard will marshal the flotilla. Numbers are limited so interested boaties must pre-register by submitting an Expression of Interest form.

Exceptionally positioned on Noosa Sound, this immaculately renovated first-floor unit belongs to a stand-alone boutique complex of just five, with incredibly low body corporate fees. Magnificent water views are all around and golden sandy beaches a mere stone's throw from the front door. Entering this property one instantly feels natural breezes and light coming together to provide a relaxed yet luxurious Noosa lifestyle.

SOCIAL SCENE

OP IN AT VINNIES REVAMP BY MARGARET MACCOLL After 12 days straight working to get the store ready for its grand opening on Saturday Vinnies Noosaville manager Susan Constantinides had just a few minutes to put her feet up before getting back to the crowds that had come to visit. Susan said the St Vincent de Paul Op Shop store had shut for a week while it was given a makeover with a splash of paint, new counters and fittings to showcase its

wide range of fashion, furniture, homewares and childrens toys and let people know about the services its provides with the help of money raised through the store. "Op shops don't have to look like op shops anymore," she said. "We've given people a fresher environment. "We have 62 volunteers and they've all come in and helped." The store at 165 Eumundi Noosa Road, Noosaville, fittingly reopened in time for Anti-Poverty Week from 15-21 October. ●

BIRD CALENDAR TO HELP FARMERS SOAR ON EAGLES’ WINGS BY JIM FAGAN With 2019 just around the corner, a local group of artists have come up with the perfect Christmas gift - a calendar which throughout the year will be a daily reminder of the beautiful birdlife we have locally. Aptly named Flights of Fancy, the calendar has been created by the Pure Pastels group at Noosa Arts and Crafts at Wallace Park, Noosaville. Pelicans, ibis, rainbow lorikeets, kookaburras, finches are just some of our colourful birds illustrating the twelve months of the year.

The artists meet weekly with well-known artist and art tutor Carolyn Sheather and all profits from the sale of the calendar will be given to drought relief. Says Carolyn: "As a group we wanted to do what we could to support farmers by providing something, unique, local and desirable." Carolyn will be guest speaker when the calendar is launched to the public on Friday October 26 at 4pm at Noosa Arts and Crafts. Cost of the calendar is $15 but, if you hop along to the launch, you'll enjoy the early bird price of $12. All welcome. ●

THIS FILM IS NIFF-TY It's not too late to book your tickets and be part of the Opening Night film and party at this year's Noosa International Film Festival (NIFF) on Friday 26 October. Festival celebrations kick off with a pre-film party under the stars as Noosa celebrates the Queensland premiere of the critically acclaimed Aussie black comedy feature, Book Week. Recently reviewed by Australia's most trusted movie industry source, FilmInk who described Book Week as "Wittily scripted, sharply characterised and smartly performed - a little gem of a film ... nothing short of a cinematic page turner". Not surprisingly, Book Week was fully sold out for its world premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival earlier this year and rave reviews continue to mount up. The film revolves around a rather mean spirited and self-centered high school English teacher, Nicholas Cutler and the Aussie school tradition of dressing up for book week. Book Week manages to cleverly celebrate the joy of reading and learning but also the ability of people to change for the better. Tickets to the NIFF Opening Night film and party are $65 or $30 for the film and Q&A only via www.niff.com.au. ●

The Alice Network by Kate Quinn

Joy As An Act Of Resistance by Idles

Crazy Rich Asians

It's 1915. Eve Gardiner is sent into enemy occupied France as an espionage agent to work with The Alice Network. The network is betrayed and she suffers crippling torture. Her life is spent as a drunken recluse until 1947 when Charlie St. Clair, pregnant, unmarried and on the run from her family, crashes into her life. Charlie is desperate to find her cousin who vanished in France during World War 11. Eve desperately wants to find her betrayer. Together, they set out for France in an old roadster with their driver, Finn, a Scotsman with a past. The Alice Network actually existed. Available at the Noosa Library. Review by Jenny Carter, Friends of the Noosa Library. ●

In a genre filled with dodgey Joy Division imitations and monotonous riffs, Idles are a rowdy ray of hope for the gloomy world of post-punk. After the ludicrously named Brutalism, the boys from Bristol are back with Joy As An Act Of Resistance. The wordy humour and cultural references of vocalist Joe Talbot thankfully saves Idles from becoming just another snarky punk group with a political agenda. What we have here is a tremendously creative album from a genre that seems to be getting staler with each passing year. Punks will love it, and so will anyone with a heart and a funny bone. ●

Three rich Chinese families prepare for the wedding of the year in this comedy starring Constance Wu (TV's Fresh Off the Boat), Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and Henry Golding. American-born Rachel Chu (Wu) travels to her boyfriend Nick's (Golding) hometown of Singapore for his best friend's wedding. But before long, the secret is out: Nick is from an impossibly wealthy family, making him one of the most eligible bachelors in Asia. From then on, every single woman in his ultra-rarefied social class is incredibly jealous of Rachel and wants to bring her down. ●

NEW FESTIVAL TO LURE â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;FOODIESâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; TO THE SUNSHINE COAST BY HOLLIE HARRIS Tourism Industry Development Minister Kate Jones has today announced the Sunshine Coast will host a new food festival in 2019, aimed at showcasing the region's food experiences. The Curated Plate is a four-day food, wine and produce festival, which will bring together the Sunshine Coast's finest produce with the best chefs from Australia and abroad. The inaugural event will be held from 8-11 August, 2019. Ms Jones said the new festival would shine a light on the region's rich culinary offering. "The Curated Plate will help raise the profile of the Sunshine Coast as a 'foodie' destination," she said. "The Sunshine Coast is well-known for its beaches, rainforests and mountain ranges - but it also boasts high-quality produce and unique paddock to plate dining experiences. "Tourism is vital for the Sunshine Coast, injecting $2.5 billion into the local economy and supporting 23,000 local jobs.

great produce of the Sunshine Coast. "Through Tourism and Events Queensland we're investing in local events because they deliver a strong economic return for the tourism industry. "The Culinary Plate is expected to generate more than 10,000 visitor nights." Today's announcement also provided a first glance of the international talent on the festival lineup. Tokyo's Zaiyu Hasegawa of two Michelin Star restaurant, Den, will join the festival in a special collaboration with Sunshine Coast chef Daniel Jarrett, at his one Chef Hat restaurant, The Tamarind. Visit Sunshine Coast CEO Simon Latchford said the event would allow the region to showcase its high-quality food offerings, alongside its well-known natural attractions. "The Sunshine Coast is one of Australia's premier regions for quality produce - it has more than 740 restaurants, 400 food tourism experiences, six dining precincts, 13 new craft breweries, some of the best farmers markets in the country and provides much of Queensland's fish, seafood, fruit, vegetables and poultry exports," he said. "While our beaches and year-round attractive climate might be the primary reasons for visitors choosing the Sunshine Coast for their holiday, the fact that we can deliver such high-quality food from paddock to plate is becoming an increasingly significant attraction for discerning travelers." Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said he was looking forward to welcoming visitors to the region for a celebration of everything it has to offer. "The Sunshine Coast has long been a home to some of Australia's greatest produce and some amazing restaurants," he said. "This new event will be fantastic way to showcase our region and profile our local award-winning food producers and restaurateurs. "We look forward to welcoming guests to our beautiful part of the world and invite them to discover what makes us such a great destination for fantastic food." â&#x2014;?

A LIFE LONG COMMITMENT "Having a child with a disability is a commitment for life. It doesn't go away when your child leaves school or turns a certain age," Founder and CEO of Sunshine Butterflies said. When Leanne and her husband welcomed their son, Curtis into the world, he was 13 weeks premature with cerebral palsy. Their passion and dedication towards disability education, awareness and inclusion began there and then.

SPORT TODAY

YOUNGEST RUNNERS WIN IT Chloe McLennan last month became the youngest women to win the world ITU world triathlon sprint grand final championships at the Gold Coast after entering the race only for the experience. At only 15-years-of-age the Tewantin teenager was under the required 16 years to enter the under 20 years event and had no idea she was in the lead until she crossed the finish line.

"She thought she was in the second pack, so coming over the line was a huge surprise," her mother Cheryl said. "She went into the race with no expectations and just didn't want to come last." What makes her win even more astounding was that it comes after recovering from injury. Three years ago Chloe fell off a bridge in Noosa and suffered significant injuries,

tearing a ligament in her leg and fracturing her elbowCheryl said her rehabilitation has made her mentally tougher."Chloe's manta has always been "run for those who can't' and dedicated this world championships to a supportive friend who died suddenly a month before the championship," Cheryl said. Chloe trains in swimming, cycling and running with Noosa's race pace coaching and Brisbane athletic academy. ●

The new cricket pitch at Eumundi State School will be the home ground to one of the Cooroy-Eumundi U12 sides.

NEW PITCH IS FIT FOR A GROWING SPORT Queensland Cricket and the Sunshine Coast Cricket Association (SCCA) have begun the first step of a significant pitch upgrade for the Sunshine Coast with a new synthetic wicket developed at Eumundi State School. The pitch upgrade project has been undertaken after Queensland Cricket and SCCA completed a two-year audit of cricket wickets on the Sunshine Coast following a significant lift in junior participation. The audit identified the need to invest in upgrading facilities in the region, with a particular focus on school and junior cricket. A total of $40,000, split between QC and SCCA, has been allocated to the project to develop pitches from Caboolture to Noosa, which will cater for the increase in the number of club and school teams seeking grounds to play on. The number of junior teams playing cricket on the Sunshine Coast increased by 23 per cent in 2017-18. ●

LIFE OF BRINE

PHIL JARRATT

IT’S ALWAYS SWELL TO BE HOME BY PHIL JARRATT Could have done without the couple of hundred mill plonk, but Huey really turned on the surf for a welcome home present. It might have had a bit to do with salty old sea dog Cap'n Bill Kazmerik's sixtieth celebration too, but between us, we'll take the credit for conjuring up a little unseasonal gem last weekend into this week. I can't remember the last time we had a quality springtime swell in Noosa, and hopefully it's a sign of things to come when the season gets properly underway in a couple of months. And while I'm not a huge fan of torrential rain, the nasty weather seemed to keep numbers down on the points too, at least when I snuck out for my sessions. Another thing I noticed on returning after a few months away is how nice and orderly Noosa is. Seeing an old bloke running down Hastings Street in the rain with a longboard under his arm, drivers stop and wave you across the street. Waiting in line at Dan's checkout, juggling an obscene number of bottles of cheap wine, people trip over each other to let you go first. What's going on, Noosa? Did you go to charm school in my absence or were you always so nice? ●

Gabriel Medina. Julian has won both the Peniche Pro and the Pipe Masters before, but that won't make his late run at the title any easier, not with two frothing Brazilians ahead of him and separated by just a few hundred points. In the women's, the early exits of Lakey Peterson and Steph Gilmore meant that the world title will now be decided next month on Maui, with Steph still heavily favored to equal Layne Beachley's record of seven world titles. But the great news for Australia was the emergence of a new rising star in 17-year-old Macy Callaghan (who went down in a tight final to Courtney Conlogue) and the maturing of third-placer Bronte Macaulay as a CT surfer. ●

A couple of weeks back in this space I sang the praises of Newcastle's Ryan Callinan who took down all the big dogs in an inspired run to win the WQS 10,000 in Ericeira, Portugal. That win got him the injury wildcard at last week's Quiksilver Pro France, and in the tricky shifting peaks of Plage des Culs Nus in Hossegor, the party continued. But while Ryan was crushing the hopes of the likes of Owen Wright, Filipe Toledo, Adriano De Souza, Jordy Smith and Conner Coffin, on the other side of the draw world number three Julian Wilson was methodically working his way towards the pointy end of the event. Glued to the set in Noosa in the middle of a rainy night, I feared that Julian's run would come to an end in his semi-final against old foe Gabriel Medina. With the incoming tide creating a left-hand ramp into the fierce rip, and proximity to the big crowd turning Culs Nus into a stadium, conditions seemed perfect for the Brazilian to produce a master class with his air game. But when it comes to showmanship, you can never underestimate Julian Wilson, and nor can you forget that he's a fighter to the end. When even a perfect ten for a huge air didn't make him safe in the face of the Medina rampage, in the dying minutes he simply did it again, soaring high above the roaring crowd, watching through an eerie sun-kissed sea mist. It was well into the evening when the all-Aussie final hit the golden water, and tensions immediately rose as the gathering fog delayed the start, then interrupted the final again midway. Callinan surfed ferociously but couldn't pick the sets as well as in his previous heats, and Wilson was not to be denied. Medina's third place finish gave him the yellow jersey going into Portugal this week, and while Julian's win didn't improve his third-place ranking, it did put him 5000 points closer to the lead, and back in the world title race with two events left to run.

DIG DEEP FOR THE RED AND YELLOW ARMY THIS WEEK BY HOLLIE HARRIS Emma Snowsill Frodeno high fives.

NOOSA TRI STREAMS LIVE Over three decades the iconic Noosa Triathlon Multi Sport Festival has developed into an event that is simply a 'must do' and one with a genuine 'must be there' factor. Every year more than 12,000 athletes, plus their family, friends and supporters make the pilgrimage to attend and this year the tens of thousands of fans across the globe can tune in live thanks to Tourism Noosa and the team from the Noosa Triathlon with both "Super Saturday" and Sunday's Noosa Tri being streamed live via the Noosa Triathlon Multi Sport Festival's Facebook page. Heading up the 'Noosa Live' team will be cycling connoisseur Matt Keenan, a man known for his stunning commentary on SBS's coverage of the Tour de France and with him, five time Noosa champion, three time ITU World Triathlon champion and Olympic Gold medallist Emma (Snowsill) Frodeno. "Noosa has been leading the way for a long time, in fact since 1983 and sport is at

its best when it is live," Matt said. "The Noosa Tri on the Sunday is just iconic and the focus of the weekend but as a cyclist I love the criterium on Super Saturday, that is a favourite and when I am on my home territory as a commentator." "In past years we have commentated for the venue from the finish line area. But now we will have cameras covering the whole course and will see the full race, which is what I am looking forward to." Matt said one of the privileges of his job was to sit next to the greats of that sport and when it comes to Australian triathlon there was no-one better than Emma. "She has the full scope of the sport covered from within it at the pointy end, playing a support role to her husband who has won a couple of IRONMAN World Championships and an Olympic Gold. In the commentary box she is amazing and takes us right there into the race." "The brilliance of working with Emma is that you always learn something new." ●

In the past five years alone, volunteer surf lifesavers from across the Noosa region have performed more than 26,000 preventative actions to help keep beachgoers safe, treated 5,376 injured first aid patients, and directly saved the lives of 481 people through inwater rescues. Now, the 'red and yellow army' is asking for a helping hand of its own as SOS Week fundraising appeal continues this week until 21 October. Surf lifesavers across Noosa will be out in force during the week, door-knocking and rattling collection tins to raise vital funds and awareness, with all proceeds going straight back into saving lives on local beaches. SLSQ regional manager Aaron Purchase is urging everyone to chip in a dollar or two when they see a surf lifesaver out and about during SOS Week. "Rain, hail or shine, our volunteer lifesavers are out there every weekend during the patrol season to watch over and keep swimmers safe in the water, but now it's our turn to send out an SOS of our own," he said. "In the past five years alone our volunteer surf lifesavers across the Noosa region have performed more than 26,000 preventative actions to help keep beachgoers safe, treated 5,376 injured first aid patients, and directly saved the lives of 481 people through inwater rescues. "These services are offered completely free of charge to communities across Queensland, but it's important to remember that we're a charity organisation and protecting beaches comes at a significant cost." Mr Purchase said all funds raised during the Appeal will be used to help clubs maintain and purchase vital rescue gear and equipment, as well as enhance the development and training of their lifesavers. Noosa Heads, and Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Clubs will be collecting at a variety of locations across the week including Noosa Junction Plaza, Noosa Civic, and a range of shops across Sunshine Beach. Donations can also be made online at sosweek.com.au. ● noosatoday.com.au

BUSY TIMES FOR MARTIAL ARTS BY RON LANE For the Sunshine Coast Martial Arts Club situated on Gibson Road Noosa, the month of September has been both busy and positive. Under the control of owner and Chief Instructor Bryan Dukas Black Belt 6th Dan the club had the pleasure of a visit from Mike Dukas 8th Dan of South Africa. This came as a result of a previous visit during which seminars were conducted and meetings with instructors were held. Because of limited time his visit was short. With his background and reputation within the world of Shotokan Karate he had commitments in both Western Australia and New Zealand where he conducted seminars grading's and meetings with various clubs. During these he was accompanied and assisted by his son Noosas Bryan Dukas. "His visits and sessions were very well received in both countries and has done a lot to uplift the standard of karate in our Pacific region," said Bryan. Also in October the Noosa club will have instructors from Victoria visiting for training seminars at the local dojo. Then in November this will be followed by black belt grading's for local members and finally the club will hold its Annual Awards and Presentation of Trophies Evening, to close what has indeed been a very successful and busy year. Last weekend the club played host to some 80 students, who had gathered in Noosa to contest the annual Queensland School Championships. ''The program of events covered a wide range of students from Kindies, (4/5yr age group) through to senior students,'' said Dukas. "For the Kindies the purpose of the tournament was also to conduct a development division aimed at building their self-confidence and starting them on the basics of the sport." This was well received by the large number of parents and family members in

The girls demonstrate the kata and bunkai application. attendance and with all competition being run strictly to the rules of the World Karate Federation, the kata (detailed pattern of movements) and kumite (sparring) was of high standard. With regards to the events all came under a panel of five judges each of who were Black Belt grade. A medic with martial background was also in attendance. The major highlight of the carnival was a demonstration of a Karta and Bunkie exercise performed by three young ladies, Keely Menere, Gemma Whyte and Isla Corbett all black belts. This not only showed the correct kata movement but also how the kata is used in a real life self-defense situation. "This is a great application of karate and shows what it is all about," said the girls.

Once again the Noosaville Good Shepard Lutheran College showed their support by donating the use of the college hall for the tournament. Dukas expressed his sincere thanks to the college for their ongoing support. "Their involvement was a major factor in making this a successful tournament," said Dukas. Another major plus was the attendance of Andrew Johnson Principal Licensee of Imsold Property. "I have now been involved with the club for twelve months and am delighted to do so; it is my intention to continue supporting forth coming events." For a small local sporting club to receive such support is of the utmost importance if they are to continue to host this type of tournaments.

PLENTY ON OFFER IN THE NOOSA RIVER, AS THE BAR IS OUT With the wind up and large swells up crossing the bar was pretty much impossible, so last weekend was a bit of a write off. But for those who did go out there were some outstanding results. There were some great patches of tuna around. Casting slugs and stick baits in smaller sizes to the edges of the schools has seen the beat results. It has mainly been the southern reef around Coolum and Sunshine where most of the activity has been. North reef has been fishing well with plenty of bait on offer. Off the bottom we are seeing snapper, jew and pearlies. Heading out to the Banks or up to Double Island reefs saw some quality snapper as well as cod, jewfish, venus tusk fish, hussar, moses perch, squire and cobia. A little closer to home Sunshine Reef has also seen a good mix of reefies including snapper, sweetlip and the odd coral trout. With all the rain we have had over the last week the river has gone from crystal clear to chocolate brown. Fishing the incoming tide is your best bet and getting as close to the mouth as possible will also help noosatoday.com.au

your cause. Good quality whiting have again been taken from Munna Point near the caravan park, the Frying Pan and the Dog Beach on the incoming tide. Live worms and yabbies have been the bait of choice. Surface lures have also been an effective way to target whiting and with the wind around this help your cause. Try to get the wind at your back as this will help when casting those lighter lures. The ripple on the surface from the wind will help with the fish feeling safer as they move up onto those sand banks that whiting love to feed on. Larger giant trevally have been gulping soft plastics around the Woods and Bays area again with the run-in tide your best bet. Flathead are in great numbers with plenty of quality fish on offer. Larger paddle tail soft plastics in darker colours are perfect for the job. The paddle tail put out plenty of vibration while the darker colour are more easily seen in the murky waters. For those who love throwing baits small pilchards on smaller ganged hook worked slowly across the bottom should see some good results. Plenty

of jacks have been taken over the last week with the change in the weather, they are feeding hard on small baitfish and prawns making their way to more saline waters. Live baits cast around been heavy structure like bridges, jetties and pontoons have been getting hammered. On the beach, with the swell up and windy conditions beaches, have seen some erosion. This in turn will create some great gutters for beach anglers to target. Again before the weather there have been some good whiting coming from the gutters along the Noosa North Shore. Down towards Coolum, jew have also been on the chew. Very early morning on the incoming tide has been the time to target them. Baits like fresh mullet, bonito, and worms clumped onto a 4/0 size hook has also done the job. Tailor are also on the chew with the river mouth a great place to target them. So On behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures! â&#x2014;?
