If only you could come up with the right idea you could make a difference, or a fortune. There are plenty out there.Two university guys in the US started up Hangover helpers and found their practical idea is landing them on chat shows. When called the guys turn up at your house with a sport drink and hangover take-away and clean up the mess left behind from the previous night's party. Or how about Rent-a-chook? This try before you buy idea is for urban dwellers who like the idea of backyard chickens but really aren't too sure it's for them. Who would have thought 40 years ago an idea by two women to set up a market to sell local produce and craft and give young people a job would become the incredibly Eumundi Market we enjoy today? ● - Margaret Maccoll

LIGHTS OUT ON PATH USE BY MARGARET MACCOLL For more than two years residents of Allambi Terrace, Noosaville have urged Noosa Council to improve lighting in Pinaroo Park so they can safely walk to Noosa Junction day and night. Residents say there is no other path connecting residents of Allambi Terrace or Noosaville to Noosa Junction, the alternative is to walk along the side of the road or drive. Their campaign included a petition signed by 22 residents in the street. A spokesman said residents regarded Council's response to the group as "appalling" when it recommended the pathway only be used during daylight hours and residents walk by the road at night. Noosa Council's Civil Operations Manager, Allan Hull said Council was considering lighting the park shelters at night but the proposal was subject to Council's annual budget considerations and be weighed up against competing projects. "Park lighting issues could also be considered as part of a future precinct plan for the wider Pinaroo Park area, incorporating the old bowls club site, owned by Coles, and the road reserve between Noosa Drive and Lanyana Way," he said. "Council appreciates that while lighting may make the path more appealing at night, and reduce the risk of tripping, as this is a nature reserve it is very difficult to adequately light the entire park and walkway to meet the appropriate light levels for safety." ●

$1.2M DEAL FOR OYSTERS

Leanne with Nellie at Cooroy BFAC.

One Noosa Councillor alone did not support a Noosa Council motion passed on Monday to invest $1.2 million into a partnership with non-government organisation the Nature Conservancy to fund a second phase of the Noosa River oyster restoration project before the results of the three year pilot project have been completed. Cr Ingrid Jackson questioned whether the community had been consulted on the investment and whether the project should take priority over other projects including the erosion of Dog Beach and the Noosa TAFE. Council heard the Nature Conservancy had approached Council with an opportunity to partner with them on a dollar for dollar investment of $1.2m which had been provided by The Thomas Foundation through The Nature Conservancy, while a third $1.2m investment would be sought elsewhere to enable expansion of oyster reef siting in the river. "I have no doubt the Nature Conservancy is a reputable non-government organisation but when it comes to such a lot of ratepayers money Council should not be making adhoc decisions but should start by clearly defining priorities and the pathways to achieve them ," Cr Jackson said. Cr Jackson questioned whether it was the best use of the environmental levy funds which Cr Frank Wilkie said collected $1.8m annually. In December 2017 a University of the Sunshine Coast research team headed by Professor Thomas Schlacher and including marine ecologist Dr Ben Gilby sited 14 oyster reef, each containing nine biodegradable coconut mesh bags filled with oyster shells in Noosa River. Dr Gilby said the oysters would improve the river's biodiversity by filtering the water and providing food and habitat for fish and other invertebrates. Noosa Council invested $1.5m in the initial project. Mayor Tony Wellington described the Nature Conservancy as global experts in the area with a track record as the world's most trusted NGO whose value as a partner could provide Noosa with far-reaching benefits, networks and knowledge. Monday's Council meeting heard Noosa had last week been named one of the Top 10 fishing spots in Australia. The matter will be raised at Council's Ordinary meeting on Thursday. ● 12408802-RA03-19

COVER STORY

THE WATERS

OF LIFE BY RON LANE here are two things in our Australian way of life that will always make us stop look and listen. One is the news of droughts in the outback and the other is out of control wide spread bush fires. In time of droughts we see on the evening news images of dead livestock and wildlife lying on the dry barren land of the great Australian outback and in the fire season it is images of massive out of control bush fire spreading for miles destroying everything in its way, bushland, homes, livestock and in some cases our people. The drought some will say is an act of God but the bush fire, in many cases, will be the result of extreme dryness, or the act of a careless, uncaring, irresponsible person.

also been accepted in overseas markets such as the USA; and the impact has been mindboggling. As a result of their very positive acceptance by the American market Helitak they established Helitak USA in Denton Texas in September 2018. "Jason Schellaars," said Paul Blundell, "is a specialist engineer and helicopter aerial firefighting pilot and has created and designed this unique aerial firefighting tank which vastly improves helicopter aerial firefighting. "His current design for the firefighting tank is unique in that after delivery it retracts into the underbelly of the helicopter landing gear area meaning maximum capacity with costly aircraft modifications. The fire tank addresses shortcomings in the ability of existing tanks to achieve maximum water capacity, ease speed of

installation, aircraft stability and ability to quickly load water from a water source and speedily deliver a payload to a fire." Since commencement Helitak has designed and manufactured models of aerial fire suppression firefighting tanks for various types of helicopters. Historically sales have been to both Australian and International helicopter firefighting operators. Past sales have eventuated through intensive research and development to modify and improve the initial design. So advanced is the company in its thinking and planning for the future that they have employed a new engineering apprentice undertaking the Cert III Engineering Technical program, together with a school-based trainee undertaking the equivalent school- based course.

Regardless of the cause, the bush fire has to be faced by countless men and women, some professionals, such as fire and rescue teams police and helicopter crews ably supported by SES volunteers and volunteer bush fire brigade. But in a warehouse, situated at Noosa, containing offices and workshop, there is a team of men and apprentices working to improve that essential commodity for the helicopter teams -the underbelly water tank. Working under the banner of Helitak Fire Fighting Equipment this team of dedicated professionals (six in total) led by CEO and chief engineer Jason Schellaars, operations manager Paul Blundell and finance manager Hugh Ramsey, have not only come up with a design for a new concept, the Aerial Fire Suppression Helitak Water Tanks for firefighting helicopters (that is taking hold in Australia) but it has

Also in previous recognition of their advancement the Helitak concept won the Australian New Inventors award plus a Peoples Choice Award. "All this is very good," said Blundell, "but the thing in which we take great pride is the fact that 90 per cent of components and suppliers are sourced from small business in regional Queensland." To give one a better idea of the Helitak tank concept for a Blackhawk firefighting helicopter, it has a water tank capacity of 4500 liters with a refill time of just 46 seconds and an empty time in flight over fire areas in 2.5 seconds. With regard to instillation of the tank it is 25 minutes to install â&#x20AC;&#x201D; roll under, bolt on, plug and play. Add to this it is also designed for maximum head pressure for most effective canopy penetration (water penetrating through thick heavy trees and scrub) available in the market place. With a refill time of 4500 Liters in just 46 seconds and an empty time of just 2.5 second this is a major plus, for as anyone who has worked in emergency situations will tell you, a major step toward a successful completion of emergencies is the response time, be it firefighting, police action, paramedics or lifesavers. This response time factor can above all, in some cases be the difference between life and death. "For Helitak Firefighting Equipment we commenced trading in 2006, incorporating in 2014. Since commencement we have designed and manufactured models of the Aerial Fire Suppression Tank for various types of helicopters. Historically, sales have been to both Australia and International Firefighting Operators. Past sales have eventuated through intensive research and development to modify and improve the initial design." With all the continued development to maintain a high standard of work it is easy to understand why in their Executive Summary they emphasise the point "Expansion and upgrading of machinery and tooling be ongoing." This attitude to research, development and improvement tells us that here in our own backyard we indeed have a company that is not only progressive and openminded but also on the brink of achieving great things in an area that is not only International but also humane. An aspect to consider is that with a continued ongoing success and expansion of Helitak, the benefits to our local community could be endless. In their Strategy and Opportunities document they state the following possibility: "Increase employment

numbers by 100 per cent and 200 per cent to include both qualified, non- qualified and training ( apprenticeships and school based traineeships ) personnel." Early this week executive members of Helitak met with Queensland Government with the specific reason of seeking their partnership in several aspects: manufacturing, expansion of employment and support in establishing a solid base in both the interstate and international market place. With many existing and new age Australian operators, currently investigating, leasing or purchasing the Black Hawk firefighting aircraft, the market place for Helitak Firefighting equipment knows no boundaries. Stats for November 28th 2018 tell us that on that day, a total of 138 fires were burning on the Queensland Coast alone. This is just a tip of the iceberg. With the massive out of control bush fires becoming a fact of life in Australia, the need for state-of- the art firefighting equipment has never been greater. When companies such as Helitak can produce the above it is hoped that the doors, ears and the minds of so-called great decision makers will be wide open. Gentleman the ball is in your court. With a slogan of "Water to Fires Faster and Safer" we wish the Helitak team every success. And let's never forget they are- Our People. â&#x2014;?

WOMEN´S PERSPECTIVES TAKE CENTRE STAGE AT FESTIVAL

CONCERN AT ASSAULT ON YOUNG CHILD

Noosa will play host to a colourful array of over 100 local and interstate thought leaders, artists and performers when the Women Initiating New Directions Organisation (WINDO) International Women's Week Festival returns March 3-9. The program will include a new leadership conference at The J Theatre on Wednesday 6 March to discuss vital issues affecting women and girls including business leadership, education, mental health, arts and culture. On International Women's Day, Friday 8 March, a major community variety show, Steppin' Out, will celebrate women's talents and stories featuring acclaimed cabaret singer Catherine Alcorn and Survivor contestant Tara Pitt discussing resilience. There will also be free art exhibitions featuring local artists throughout March at The J, Noosa and The Butter Factory Arts Centre, Cooroy. "For women and girls to be truly equal in our society, their rights, perspectives and contributions need to be equally seen, heard and valued. That's why this festival is a vital addition to our region's calendar and the future development of our cultural identity", WINDO president and founder Jeanette Dal Santo said. For more information and to volunteer visit www.windowomen.org. ●

Police are investigating the assault on a fouryear-old girl at the toilet block at Tickle Park, Coolum, between 4.30-5.30pm on Friday 4 January and want to speak to any motorists who were driving past the park at the that time and may have dashcam vision. Police said the girl was with family and friends at the park when she wandered away from the group and into a nearby unisex toilet block. A man entered the toilet and indecently assaulted the child. The girl returned to where her family and friends were and later told her parents about the incident. The child was medically assessed but did not require medical treatment. Sunshine Coast District Superintendent Darryl Johnson said the offence was serious and police were appealing for help. "It is definitely a real concern to us, we haven't seen this type of offence in our community in recent time," he said. "It is one that we as police, we as the community, family, as mothers and fathers, we want to see that one solved." Child Protection Unit Officer-in-Charge, Justin Ward, said police were looking at CCTV footage in the area. Police believe the man may have had white or light coloured hair and was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Anyone with information should contact Policelink on 131 444. ●

Lara Jane and Alisha will be performing at Steppin' Out.

NEWS ‘PERFECT’ FOR STINGERS A "perfect storm" of conditions including warm water, wind direction and holiday makers has caused a bumper bluebottle season and record numbers of stings, says University of the Sunshine Coast graduate research ecologist Letricia Delaney. Letricia who studied Queensland jellyfish trends for her Honours research in 2016 under the supervision of Associate Professor David Schoeman found there tended to be a longer stinger season during the El Ni&ntilde;o weather cycle which usually lasts one year and is associated with warmer waters. "But larger 20-year natural cycles in global jellyfish abundance also occur, the cause of which is still unknown," she said. "On top of this, climate change is intensifying our hot summers." Bluebottles are "passive floaters" and their location is entirely determined by wind, waves and currents, with strong offshore winds driving many onshore in the past week, particularly on north-facing beaches, she said. They mostly feed on small fish, crustaceans and molluscs and, in turn, are eaten by the blue dragon nudibranch, which stores the stinging cells for its own defences. "Unfortunately, it is likely to continue as we predict a longer stinger season in Queensland this summer," she said. Letricia said several stings by Carukia barnesi, a type of Irukandji jellyfish in the waters on the west-side of Fraser Island for

"There is currently disagreement between scientists as to whether this species of Irukandji will thrive further south and more research into this area is needed. We should have more answers in the coming years," she said. ●

A LOOK BACK AT THE EUMUNDI MARKETS It all started with an idea.. In 1979, ceramic artist Christa Barton and her friend Gail Perry-Somers came up with the idea of holding a European style artisans and farmers market in Eumundi. Inspired by a visit to the community run market in Kin Kin Christa and Gail decided the CWA Hall was the best-placed venue in town. Their vision was to develop a retail base for local small crop growers and locally produced crafts, as well as offering a retail base for out of work young people - to develop their skills in handicrafts and food preparation. The early days .. On 24 March 1979, three marketeers gamely set up their stalls around the CWA Hall, with refreshments served inside. There was a grand total of eight visitors and a turnover of $30. The Original Eumundi Markets was up and running. Perfectly positioned, the CWA Hall served as a refreshment room where the weary market visitor could indulge in home baked goodies, exotic foods, fresh juices or a soothing cuppa. Outside, market visitors could sit under Eumundi's magnificent

Christa Barton, Robyn Fox and Gail Perry-Somers in the CWA Hall in 1979. 'Memorial Trees', dedicated to the twenty WW1 diggers who made the supreme sacrifice. After only one year of operation, the Original Eumundi Market (OEM) gained a reputation as a source of energy, variety, freshness and friendliness, properties that still characterise it today. But it was the policy of its founders and the markets auspicing body, the Eumundi Historical Society (now the Eumundi Historical Association), led tirelessly by Valmay Templeton, that made it unique: all goods had to be locally made.

As the market grows .. By 1985, the Original Eumundi Markets had 97 stalls, with an estimated attendance of 143,000 people for the year. By 1990, it had grown to 203 stalls, with some 260,000 visitors for the year. From the beginning the markets were popular with locals, but as the market community grew and grew, the market drew interest from tourists visiting the Sunshine Coast. By the early 1990's, the Original Eumundi Markets had become a 'must do' destination for interstate and overseas visitors holidaying in the region. It was also the perfect distance for day trippers from Brisbane after some quality retail therapy. By the year 2000, the market had grown to 350 stalls, and in 2002, the Original Eumundi Markets expanded from just a Saturday market to include a Wednesday market The Eumundi Markets today .. Over the years, several independent entities, including the Eumundi and District Community Association, have also set up other market operations adjacent to the

Original Eumundi Markets, making the overall Eumundi Markets the biggest art and craft market in Australia. Now in 2019, the markets boasts an annual visitation of about 1.2 million people. As part of the 40th anniversary celebrations the Original Eumundi Markets will treat it's stallholders a big party after the market on Saturday 23 March and to thank he public for their ongoing supported will give away 40 fabulous prizes over 40 days in the lead up to 23 March. The Original Eumundi Market continues to be run by the Eumundi and District Historical Association (EHA), a not-forprofit association which supports local community and historic projects and has always ensured that their market has an emphasis on handmade products, with the ethos of "make it, bake it, sew it, grow it". Discover Eumundi Heritage and Visitor Centre which is run by EHA will host an exhibition of the history on the market from Saturday 23 March until the end of May in it's Wan'din'in Arts Space.

BEACH CLEAN FOR TURTLE HATCHLINGS

Horsing around.

HORSING AROUND ON AUSTRALIA DAY For more than 20 years Sally Clayton has rescued and rehabilitated horses across Australia, most recently from her property at Cooroibah, and used her positive horsemanship to train horses and people. On Saturday 26 January Sally will be teaching people more about horses and bringing along some ponies for rides as part of the Noosa Australia Day Festival. Sally has been teaching people to ride since she discovered she had a talent for teaching after a friend asked her to take over some of her kids' lessons. "I love working with people as well as horses and would like to feel that I am good at sharing my knowledge with students," she said. "The method that I use when working with horses is a combination of everything I have learned over the past 20 years. "I am a strong believer in working with the nature of the horse and that using your strength is not necessary when you communicate what you want the horse to do for you clearly . "I use a phase system and work on rewarding the horse for trying which leads towards building the horse's confidence and 10 NOOSA TODAY

children from the Department of Child Protection. For five years in Victoria she ran her own business, which included horsemanship clinics and working with children for residential clinics as well as teaching at the local pony club, then she decided to move to Queensland. She now focuses on rescuing horses and sharing her knowledge. "The only reason I keep doing this is to see the horses open up and begin to understand us and trust us. The feeling I get from this is irreplaceable. And to see people understand their role in communicating with the horse is a big thrill for me. I don't care about competing or being the best, I just care about the emotional and physical well-being of the horse and keeping both horse and rider safe. The Noosa Australia Day Festival, organised by volunteers from Tewantin Noosa Lions Club and the Rotary Club of Noosa Heads is a free event. Running from 7am to 5pm at Lions Park on Gympie Terrace on Australia Day it will provide a rang of entertainment, music and food and funds raised will support local charities United Synergies, Katie Rose Cottage and St Vincent de Paul. â&#x2014;?

Turtle lovers are sought on Saturday 2 February to clean up the beaches and pave the way for the soon to arrive hatchlings. Sunshine Coast Council's TurtleCare program, SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast and Reef Check Australia are uniting for the clean up and hope to match last year's efforts which brought together 300 volunteers who cleared away 800kg of debris. Councillor Jenny McKay said removing the debris which the turtles may otherwise mistake for food would give the hundreds of hatchlings due to emerge over the coming weeks the best chance of survival. "Each year, marine debris injures and kills thousands of marine animals, including sea turtles," she said. "With the majority of collected marine debris originating from the land, this is a good reminder to the community to say no to plastic packaging, take their rubbish home, or even pick up litter when they see it." Reef Check Australia snorkel volunteers will assist with in-water clean-up activities in key marine debris hot spots. Clean-up locations are spread across several Sunshine Coast beaches from Caloundra to Coolum. Sign on is from 6am with the clean-up lasting until about 7.30am. A complimentary BBQ breakfast for all participants will be served at 8am at the marine debris weigh in station at La Balsa Park in Buddina.

SOCIAL SCENE

WEDDINGS ON THE AGENDA When Noosa Boathouse opened its doors on Saturday to its fourth annual Wedding Open Day couples streamed in for the chance to chat to the venue's favourite wedding suppliers about their upcoming nuptials. Boathouse owner Sarah Bradford said the Christmas and New Year period was a popular time for couples to announce their engagement and several regional wedding organisations had timed their expos to coincide to provide couples with a variety of options from which to choose. People wanting to marry in Noosa travelled from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne to attend the expo and connect with suppliers, Sarah said. "We have some really good suppliers we work closely with," she said. â&#x2014;?

LETTERS

CRIMES ARE NOT THOSE OF REFUGEES Rage. Sadness. Despair. These were the feelings that assailed me as I read the horrible, vitriolic letter from Edward Callaghan (NT 10/1). He is talking about the most marginalised and traumatised people on earth, who have lost countries, families and homes in the most horrific circumstances imaginable, and he refers to them as "Reffos". How demeaning! It says little for his own character. So much inflammatory and venomous language has been levelled at these people, who just wish to live a peaceful life like ourselves. I wonder what I would do if authorities gave me 30 minutes to leave my property before soldiers would come to kill my husband and children and rape me? I know what I would choose. You talk about 'legalities' and 'criminals'. I would suggest that you read the UNHCR "Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees": Chapter 5, Article 31,32 &33, from the 1951 Refugee Convention and 1967 Protocol. It is the key international legal document concerning refugees. I would also suggest you read some of the following to enable a more informed and compassionate view of refugees: "A Country Too Far" by Rosie Scott and Tom Keneally; "The People Smuggler" by Robin de Crespigny; "Songs of a War Boy" by Deng Adut; "I Shall Not Hate"by Izzeldin Abuelaish; "Under the Same Sky" by Mojgan Shamsalipoor and Milad Jafari; "No Friend but the Mountains" by Behrouz Boochani; "Walking Free" by Dr.Munjed Al Muderis. All are true stories. The latter author is an Australian Associate Professor in orthopaedic surgery who placed Australia at the forefront of osseointegration technology. His escape and arrival by boat was horrific. I'd like to finish by quoting from Richard Flanagan's Forward to "No Friend but the Mountains": After reading of the 'Australian officials' behaviour on Manus', Richard Flanagan was 'reminded' of his 'father's descriptions of the Japanese commanders' behaviour in the POW camps where he ...suffered so much.' 'Someone must answer for these crimes. Because if they don't the one certainty that history teaches us is that the injustice of Manus Island and Nauru will one day be repeated on a larger, grander, and infinitely more tragic scale in Australia.' 'Workable and compassionate ideas about this human tragedy are not only possible but essential for us as a nation'- Rosie Scott Kathy Sweet, Tewantin.

CLIMATE DEBATE HOTS UP

LENSCAPE

REFUGEES NOT CRIMINAL In response to Mr Callaghan's letter (NT 10/1), I should like to draw attention the following facts. Asylum seekers who enter Australia without a valid visa by boat or plane are not illegal. They are permitted to enter without prior authorisation. This right is protected by Article 31 of the 1951 Refugee Convention to which Australia is a signatory. The people to which Mr Callaghan refers are not "criminals" just desperate people doing their best to keep their families safe. Lyn Wild, Tewantin.

STOP ANIMAL EXPLOITATION I was shocked to see a rodeo being promoted in Noosa for the new year. If this isn't the epitome of animal exploitation in the name of 'sport', I don't know what is. The malice act of bull riding promoted at this event is nothing short of wilful human domination forced upon an unwilling animal for human entertainment. Noosa Mayor Tony Wellington in a November 2018 address to Land for Wildlife members stated, "non-human animals do not exist for our amusement, and nor should they be conserved simply for the sake of future generations of humans." Supporters of this archaic and barbaric behaviour in the name of 'tradition' will conveniently tell us how well-cared for these animals are whilst a flank strap is pulled tightly around the bull's sensitive organs, making him buck unnaturally when released from the chute. Rodeo animals suffer many kinds of injuries, and are sometimes killed or have to be destroyed.

Cruel, traditional rodeo events are banned in Britain and in parts of Europe and the United States. At a local level, it's time Noosa Council refrains from permitting such inhumane acts on Council managed and owned public land and stops funding any community organisation involved with such heinous acts of sheer cruelty. Elizabeth Stewart, Noosa.

NOT ILLEGAL Edward Callaghan - please check your facts. Whether people enter Australia via boat or air, it is not illegal to seeks asylum. Doing so does not make a person a criminal. Pat Isaacs, Noosa.

FOLLOW THE HEAT The CO2 global warming conjecture is a scam based on flawed physics. People who believe in the pseudoscience promoted by some politicians and the UN's IPCC bureaucrats would not have been so easily fooled had they learned the correct physics, especially the meaning of heat. If the climate catastrophists (NT 10/1/19) studied a good text in Thermodynamics they would discover there is a big difference between heat and infrared radiation. Heat is a process, it is not a thing, it cannot be trapped. It is a transfer of energy due to a difference in temperature between two regions/objects. To understand the basic physics of climate it is important to consider the average temperatures of four regions (listed here from hottest to coldest): Sun's surface; Earth's surface; Troposphere (lower atmosphere); and Space. Thermodynamics tells us that heat will only flow from a high temperature region to a lower temperature region. Infrared radiation from the Sun will transfer heat to the Earth but infrared radiation from the Earth does not heat the Sun. The temperature of Space is extremely cold. Infrared radiation from gases in the atmosphere will transfer heat to the cold regions of space. This is how the Earth cools. CO2 gas in the Troposphere absorbs and re-emits infrared radiation towards both Space and the Earth's surface. Since the Earth's surface is at a higher temperature than the CO2 in the atmosphere the infrared radiation from atmospheric CO2 does not transfer heat to the warmer surface. CO2 cannot cause dangerous global warming. The climates of the Earth and all the other planets are controlled by the natural cycles of the Sun not by the amount of CO2 in their atmospheres. John Turner, Noosa.

Wow, seems I stirred a green ants' nest with my recent letter on climate change, with the expected response from the usual global warming keyboard warriors. Great start to the new year because finally we have acknowledgement there is no actual proof that carbon dioxide is the main driver of climate change, despite their usual slogans such as 'the science is settled'. It's just a hypothesis, with predictions of 'catastrophic climate change if we don't act now', based on computer modelling. They can't even accurately predict the weather next week, let alone next decade or century. While demonising carbon dioxide, an atmospheric trace gas essential to all plant and animal life on Earth, they overlook key roles played by factors such as variable solar flare activity, deforestation and urban sprawl. They ignore the fact that water vapour, as by far the most prevalent greenhouse gas, has a much greater warming effect than a meagre 0.04% of CO2 in the atmosphere. Research published on NASA's website shows the heat amplifying effect of water vapour is "potent enough to double the climate warming caused by increased levels of CO2. "Carbon dioxide causes about 20 percent of Earth's greenhouse effect; water vapor accounts for about 50 percent; and clouds account for 25 percent." Another NASA report shows significant greening of the Earth over the past 35 years largely due to increased levels of atmospheric CO2. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/ goddard/2016/carbon-dioxide-fertilizationgreening-earth In other words, CO2 is actually aiding reforestation and crop propagation, so be careful what you wish for. And even Australia's chief scientist Dr Alan Finkel admitted in an interview last year that if Australia cut it's C02 emissions to zero it would have 'negligible effect' on world climate. John Mikkelsen, Castaways Beach.

ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL So, it looks like Noosa mayor Tony Wellington is already on the campaign trail for the next council election in 15 months, after announcing that his council has earmarked an investment of more than 200 million dollars in capital and maintenance work over the next decade. I am sure that this announcement would have been music to the ears of many Noosa hinterland ratepayers who have been missing out for many years on basic maintenance and upkeep of their roads. But lets just hope that Mr Wellington will not change his decision, like he did recently on the Tafe purchase.Some of you might remember Mr Wellington speaking out against the Tafe purchase on WIN news 4 months ago (4/9/2018); He mentioned at the time that his project officer had determined that it will cost each ratepayer between $250 and $300 a year for the next 10 years! Now that decision has been made with absolutely no consultation with ratepayers. For the sake of his re-election chances lets hope that Mr Wellington does find a use for the Tafe building pretty soon ... Dom Massoni.

VERRIERDALE No sniping. Five years on and still waiting for the $500 when they 'axed the tax'? Now it's $500000 extra in your super if regulation changes are made to Super funds.Fair dinkum? Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach. noosatoday.com.au

NEWS

SURF SCIENCE HITS NOOSA Noosa's surfing scene is the focus of new research at the University of the Sunshine Coast, with students hitting the beaches this week to survey surfers from near and far. Research leader Dr Javier Leon said the information would be used to build the most comprehensive picture to date of the economics, culture, attitudes and aspirations of people surfing in the Noosa World Surfing Reserve. "I was surprised to find that there's no real baseline data relating to surfing in Noosa," Dr Leon said. "There's a lot of interaction between Noosa's surf culture and the rest of the world, but there's not been a systematic study of the cultural, social and economic impact." Students from USC's new 'surfonomics' subject will be collecting the data as part of the fieldwork component of their Geography of Surfing course.They hope to hear from a broad spectrum of surfers from a range of backgrounds, including locals and visitors, both on the beaches and online. The survey will cover four broad topics: The individual, including their gender, level of surfing, board preference and where they come from; Their surfing effort, including how often and for how long they surf; Their expenditure in the region and elsewhere for comparison; and Their motivation, including what could potentially deter them from surfing. "For example, we know that many people leave Noosa on a good surf day because the

Noosa surfing attracts all types. surf is too crowded," Dr Leon said. "I know people from Noosa who won't go to Noosa when the surf is good because you can't even park, and yet on those same days people will come from Sydney and beyond." Dr Leon said gathering a data on attitudes around these topics would help

planners preserve and enhance the surfing amenity of Noosa, while helping local businesses understand the economic benefits of surfing. The questions have been based on a similar "Surfonomics" survey conducted in 2010 which has informed the City of Gold

Coast council's 2015 Surf Management Plan. The survey will run for eight weeks and results will be presented at the Surf and Sustainability Day hosted by USC on 7 March at The J Theatre at Noosa Junction as part of the Noosa Festival of Surfing. â&#x2014;?

a lot of unsolved aspects attached to his crimes," she said. "I dragged my husband along to try to discover missing remains in the mountains behind Los Angeles and in the downtown area, based on some directions the serial killer gave me. "It was a once in a lifetime experience to sit with this man face to face (without bars or glass between us) and try to understand why he committed these crimes while simultaneously trying not to be his next victim. "You only get those kind of answers by being brave enough to ask the question, and as a crime writer there's nothing as valuable as hearing about evil straight from the source." Candice will discuss her experiences and her latest instalment in the Crimson Lake series, Gone by Midnight which is set in the steamy, dangerous atmosphere of a Far North Queensland rainforest. When a ten-year-old boy vanishes from a hotel room in Cairns, with no evidence of him leaving the hotel, Ted and Amanda are called in by the missing boy's mother. Ted knows the trial by public she's about to face... will they find her son before the public turns on her? The Literary Lunch includes a two course meal and glass of wine at the River Deck Restaurant, Noosa Marina at 12 noon on Tuesday 19 February. Tickets $55. Bookings essential.

WHAT’S ON CHOOSE PET WITH OPEN MIND

COOROY HOSTS MASTER OF LIGHT IN ART Internationally acclaimed Master of Light, Wolfgang Lämmle presents what he considers his final exhibition, at Cooroy's Butter Factory Arts Centre (BFAC) this month. The Cooroy local has spent his life honing his painting skills and gathering some colourful stories along the way. Born in Germany in 1941, Lämmle began his life as a printmaker and over the years has been a gallery owner, teacher, artist, curator, and author. He hosted exhibitions throughout Germany, Switzerland and France before making Cooroy his home in 2007. Recent health issues have limited his studio time and he considers this exhibition to be his last. BFAC coordinator Alicia Sharples said it had been a treat to find the master artist tucked away in the Noosa Hinterland. "It's so exciting to show the work of this amazing artist," Alicia said. "He moves light around the canvas like few do these days - you can look into his works and forget you're not sitting there in the dappled shade of a big, beautiful tree. "And then when you meet the man, he's got this almost punk attitude to the world, it's an intriguing combination. "We're all very excited to present a show of this calibre, and look forward to experiencing the response." Master of the Light will be exhibited at BFAC from January 17 to February 26 with an official opening on Friday 18 January from 6-8pm. Free entry. All welcome. ●

Keep an open mind when you choose a pet to suit your family and disregarding preconceived notions of its breed is the advice from PETstock Noosa which will hold its annual National Pet Adoption Day on Saturday 9 February from 10am to 2pm at Noosa Homemaker Centre, 18 Thomas Street, Noosaville. PETstock events coordinator Jess Guilfoyle said breed labels would be removed from pets listed on petrescue. com.au in the week leading up to the adoption day to encourage people to get the know the animal for who they are. "Every pet is unique and individual, and I encourage people considering a new pet to keep an open mind - you may just be surprised by who you fall for," she said.Animal behaviourist Dr Kate Mornement said there were more important factors than breed that determined a pet's personality and temperament. "Personality and temperament are also influenced by previous experiences and individual differences. This is why you get so much variation both within and between breeds," she said. "Many well socialised and trained pets find themselves in need of a new home. Even those pets that may not have had a great start to life can become wonderful companions."

HOOK, LINE & SINKER

JACK MANGROVE

THE MACKEREL HAVE ARRIVED We have spotties, Spanish and school mackerel in the bays, off the rocks and out wider. If you had the chance then the winds did drop earlier in the week which saw a lucky few get stuck into the action. Most anglers were following the birds and casting a range of metal slugs and small high speed stickbaits on lighter 7ft spin combo's. These fish are not big and don't require anything heavier than 15lb braid and 20lb leaders, so leave the heavy stuff for the bottom bashing and enjoy the lightning fast runs these fish offer. Out wider on the reefs of Sunshine and Chardons, conditions are still a bit lumpy but we have seen coral trout, pearl perch, sweetlip, various cod species and small snapper coming off the bottom. These fish will take fresh flesh baits and chunk baits of mullet and pilchard fished on the trusty paternoster rig. If you are after a cobia or tuna as well as mackerel then break out the gang hooked pilchard floater with a tinsel teaser. This method is responsible for landing some huge fish and continues to work very well, especially if on anchor. In the estuary some great flathead have been caught along the various the drop offs, especially around Weyba Bridge, Dog Beach, Back of Noosa Sound toward Lake Weyba and the Frying Pan. These fish have been taking a range of soft plastics, live yabbies and prawn baits. The whiting have been coming out in good numbers especially around the Frying Pan, Lake Weyba and along Gympie Terrace. These fish have not

only been taking fresh baits of worms and yabbies, but hitting smaller surface poppers and stickbaits. Mangrove jacks have been a little quieter, but up river away from the crowds is the best option with the Jew Hole and the various deep water holes and rocky patches between the lakes providing a great place to target them. The best baits are live baits of mullet and herring and even fresh dead bait like mullet fished as a strip on a 3/0-4/0 octopus style hook and 20-30lb leader as a great starting point. Off the beaches the swell has kept most anglers away but the bigger headlands of Yaroomba and Arkwright have been producing jewfish, lipper, bream, dart and the odd tailor. Running single hook Paternoster rigs help to keep your hook away from the snaggy bottom with mullet, pilchard and fresh worm baits the better option, especially during the last hour of daylight. The freshwater is still a bit quiet but reports of decent Saratoga have been taking subsurface lures rather than surface lures so put in a few pauses and be patient as saratoga will follow lures for 15-20 meters before hitting them. For the bass anglers working small spinnerbaits and casting weedless rigged paddletail plastics into the lilies and twitched out has collected a few strikes. Also using small vibes and blades on the schooled up bass in the deeper sections is a sure fire way to get a hit! So on behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures! â&#x2014;?

WINS ALL ROUND BY RANDALL WOODLEY Each of the four RSL Tewantin-Noosa Thunder (TNT) cricket teams won their respective One-Day matches last Saturday. Firsts won their match on the last ball of the day, Seconds overhauled Caloundra's score, Thirds surprised themselves by defeating Palmwoods and Fourths beat Nambour. FIRSTS travelled to Caloundra to take on the Lighthouses who were equal on the one-day ladder. Caloundra batted first on a very dry and fast outfield. They batted well but anything hit past the square was 4 and they eventually ended up on 7 for 254 after their 50 overs.Caloundra came out hard in their bowling innings to have Chris Wright, Ben Gear and Jake Dennien back in the sheds at 3-49 off 16. It all came down to 2 runs off the last ball and Scott Aufderheide completed the job giving a great win to TNT by one run. Kratzmann finished on 68 off 52 balls in an absolute Man of the Match effort. SECONDS played Caloundra at Read Park hoping to reverse the result from earlier in the season. They batted first and TNT were on top early having them at 6 for 101, but a few partnerships and

some ill-disciplined bowling allowed them to reach 8 for 186 after their 40 overs.When batting second, TNT needed to get off to a good start but losing 2 wickets early was a setback. However, after a couple of good solid partnerships, the score mounted to 5 for 125 and with no further wickets falling, the team reached the winning score in the 29th over. THIRDS travelled to Palmwoods and elected to bat first. Brendan Wright (44) and Bob McGhee (47) opened up and got the team off to great start. Palmwoods ended up not going for the required target and after 40 overs were 4-159, thirty-eight runs short of the target. FOURTHS lost the toss and Nambour sent TNT into bat on what turned out to be a challenging wicket. TNT lost wickets steadily every second over to be 4-35 and then 6-43. Dylan Leggett and Wayne Moore came together to stop the rot and got the score to 6-80 at drinks. Leggett who finished with 72 no. was there to see the team reach 8-180 off their 40 overs. The TNT bowlers were on top early and eventually dismissed Nambour for 149. â&#x2014;?

Hoyo and Louie – Merewether legends.

JUST COASTIN’ BY PHIL JARRATT

noosatoday.com.au

Matt Hoy ripping at the Azores world masters. and I took a seat next to Newcastle shaping legend Sam Egan to watch the show as Sam's son Luke - a former world number two and now coach to the stars - traded slick moves with another Newie legend, Matt Hoy. I've known both of these guys since their earliest days on the world tour, and neither of them gets much change out of 50, but they can still rip the bag out of any lineup, as they both proved at the Azores World Masters last September, when they went within a whisker of taking the title. Many glasses were raised over a fun-filled week at that little dot in the mid-Atlantic, but Hoyo was all business and bottled water last

Photo WSL

Luke Egan carving it up in the Azores last September. Photo WSL at the back end of 2018, and I think we're going to see fireworks from him in 2019. This was just a club comp in front of fewer than a hundred thirsty punters, but in the time-honoured Merewether tradition, the finalists treated it like a world title was on the line. Merewether has always been like that - a proud little community of old school surfers. So it was Ry-Cal and Hoyo one and two, and Hoy cracked and had a couple of beers as the sun set, and we headed across the road to the Beaches to continue the party. Just another week in the life of a geriatric coastal nomad.

Saturday afternoon as he blazed into the final. The tattooed party boy has become the master of carve in his old age, and he's still one of my favourite surfers to watch. Riding a decades-old Sam Egan six-o twinnie, he was all over the smooth faces. After one particularly vicious gouge, Sam nudged me in the ribs. "Great pedigree." "What? The board or the rider?" "Both." But Hoyo was giving away about 20 years to Ryan Callinan, whose backside attack was unbelievable and relentless. Ry forced his way back onto the world tour with some amazing performances in Europe and Hawaii

January is probably not the best time of year to be ambling down the Pacific Highway at a leisurely pace, ever on the lookout for an exit to a beach that no one has ever heard of. Half of Australia is off on the same mission, and sadly the beach that no one has ever heard of no longer exists. But you can still go close, particularly if you go looking for a wave in all the wrong places. Last week I had an enjoyable Reuben sandwich and coffee lunch with Bob McTavish at the McTavish factory cafeteria in Byron Bay, and he told me he'd been beating the summer nor' easters at the south end of a beach not far from Angourie. I didn't really believe him, since this is the reverse of conventional wave-hunting wisdom, but just as the sea breeze got up the next morning, I pulled into an empty bush car park, walked down an overgrown track and peered at perfect little peelers breaking inside a crescent of reef. And no one out! I scrambled back to the car, grabbed my board and enjoyed a solitary half hour session. By the time I climbed back up the rocks, the devil wind was howling, but the peelers behind the flat rock ledge were still smooth as silk. As we rambled south my surfing luck ran out, replaced by red weed, bluebottles and chilly water, but we made swim stops at inlets and rocky coves, beach-walked the many bays of the mid-north coast of NSW where you can stroll along the sand forever and not see a house. I knew all these places as a hungry young surf grom, prowling the coast with my mates in a gas-guzzling FJ Holden, and some of them have barely changed in half a century. It took us a week to reach Newcastle, and I might have been tempted to bypass it, were it not the home of one of my oldest and dearest friends. I sent him a text to say we were not far away and he immediately responded: "Hoyo, Louie, Ry-Cal all in semis at Merewether right. Free beer and champers in the Billabong tent. Get here now." As it turned out, the annual twin fin retro memorial comp in honour of tour surfer Ryan Callinan's late parents was in full swing in McTavish theory waves that should have been crushed by the onshore blow but were sitting up nicely on the rock ledge. Cold beers were thrust into waiting hands
