We may not have had a holiday on Monday to celebrate the Queen's Birthday but we do congratulate Noosa's two newest Queen's Honours recipients, Professor Richard Fotheringham and Dr William Sultmann who were recognised for their outstanding achievements in the fields of education and the arts. We also acknowledge the 42 recipients of Queensland Day Awards who recognised the efforts of those who volunteer their time and expertise to assist Noosa community groups, events and initiatives.Noosa is very fortunate to have so many gifted, talented and dedicated people in the shire. Now to touch on a totally different subject, I was talking to a pig farmer at Noosa farmers market about the African swine flu which is being spread across Asia leading to the culling of millions of pigs and threatening the future of the industry. He pointed out how the spread of the flu highlighted the importance of buying locally grown, locally produced food. So true, buy local. Margaret Maccoll

WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT

DOG BEACH EROSION IS LESSENING Winter and spring rainfall will be a determining factor in the erosion rate at Noosa's Dog Beach and Noosa Council's urgency to act on it. A Shoreline Erosion Management Plan (SEMP) for Noosa Spit that was initiated last November to address erosion issues and recommend management options provided an update on progress at Council this week. The report showed two of its five phases, involving background research and physical data collection phase had been completed with two further phases, coastal process

model development and erosion assessment and conceptual modelling expected to be completed by the end of this month.A report will follow after consultation with Councillors and the community. An analysis of aerial photography from 2017 to the present shows there has been a reduction in the rate of erosion at Noosa Spit from about 9m per year in 2017 to about 2m in March 2019. The review says earlier erosion rates were enhanced by a river alignment that was ideal for erosion as well as strong storm systems

with a northerly wind aspect, including Tropical Cyclone Debbie but over the past year, major storm systems from east and south easterly wind aspects have limited erosion and caused a less problematic river alignment. The current situation has allowed more time to deliver suitable solutions, however, conditions could reverse if rainfall through winter and spring is insufficient to maintain the current river alignment, the update says. ●

GO NOOSA EVALUATED FROM CHRISTMAS AND EASTER An evaluation of Noosa Council's half million dollar Go Noosa Christmas and Easter traffic trials showed only a two per cent decrease of private car use despite patronage on free buses having increased by 40 per cent over the Christmas holidays and 33 per cent over the Easter period. The evaluation found more than 296,000 people caught the free buses during the trial and 64 per cent of bus passengers said they would have driven if buses had not been available. The digital roadside information boards people regarded as helpful in informing their bus use. The nine week trials were held over the

peak periods of Christmas (15 December 2018 - 29 January 2019) and Easter (6 April - 28 April 2019) and cost about $550,000 which was reduced to $460,000 due to $88,000 in revenue obtained from paid parking at Lions Park. The trial comprised free buses, information management systems, traffic control, wayfinding, parking changes and paid parking. A Council report described the Go Noosa trials as "short term initiatives aligned with the 2017-2027 Transport Strategy to manage peak period traffic through behaviour change whilst

maintaining a Noosa look and feel". Results of the trials were measured by the counting of traffic, cyclists, pedestrians and bus passengers and though feedback surveys, website statistics, visual observations and Lions Park paid parking receipts. "Behaviour change is typically challenging to evaluate due to the difficultly in establishing control samples, however, the data and observations obtained allow insights to be gained," stated the report which is up for discussion in Council meetings this month. ●

Police are seeking public assistance to locate a 47-year-old woman missing from the Noosa area since last month. Nicky Dernikos was last seen leaving an address on Edgar Bennett Avenue at Noosa Heads on May 26 before later being spotted on Noosa Drive. She has not been heard from since. Police and family hold concerns for her welfare as she has a medical condition and has only recently relocated to the Sunshine Coast from Victoria. She is described as Mediterranean in appearance, around 150cm tall with a slim build, light brown hair and hazel eyes. Nicky was last seen wearing black tights, a t-shirt and a khaki coloured cap.

HOME HUNTERS BY MARGARET MACCOLL

etting aside 10 per cent of their income, collecting furniture and helping with rental applications are some of the ways real estate agents Janzey and John Pratt are assisting people in need to find accommodation but they say the problem is way beyond the capabilities of one couple. Since moving from the Northern Territory to the Sunshine Coast four years ago Janzey and John Pratt have both sold houses for a living and helped people in housing crisis. The Sunshine Coast real estate agents set aside 10 per cent of their income from their One Agency business and put it in a kitty for people who need assistance. Through their Property with Purpose project they also manage a storage unit rented at a heavily discounted rate thanks to Fort Knox Storage and with donations from the public it continues to be filled with furniture and white goods for people who need it. "There's a misconception homelessness is about people sleeping rough," Janzey said."You can't make assumptions about how people become homeless. We have to dispel some myths around it. It can happen to anyone through no fault of their own." Just last week Janzey was helping a lady who has been sleeping in her car behind the storage shed. Having moved to the area to assist her daughter the women who is 65 years old and on Newstart has struggled to afford somewhere to live. Janzey, a former police officer working in domestic violence and child protection has been on the frontline of services and seen the damage it can do to families and kids. "We get four to five referrals a week. The majority are mums escaping domestic violence. We get them into short term 6 NOOSA TODAY

Before they had to stay in a camper trailer in a caravan park," she said. "When people need certain things - we have fridges, furniture. If they need something special we put posts on Facebook. Sunshine Coasters are amazingly generous." Having worked in real estate for more than a decade Janzey said she is confronted with different faces of the property market from the haves to the have-nots. "Now everyone's making trillions of dollars. We know because we work in it," she said. Janzey said while it was good to see people making money from real estate with prices going up and up people can no longer afford to rent.

The Pratt's came back from NT after living there for 12 years, moving first to Tewantin then to the Sunshine Coast. The Property with Purpose project began when the owners of a property they were selling wanted to get rid of all their furniture and asked the Pratt's if they knew someone who would want it. "It's just snowballed from there," Janzey said with the couple now advocating for people and working as a go between for people in need and services available. "In the past four years there's been over 50 incidences of helping people with references from Vinnies and Facebook," she said. "There's never enough housing or finances. People go round and round from temporary to crisis, not permanent.

"We just do what we can. There's no point having a business if you can't do some good."Janzey has a "big dream" of establishing a big place on land to accommodate people long term and convincing government to make it compulsory for developments to set aside part of their development for affordable housing. "It was compulsory in the NT to set aside 15 per cent for affordable housing," she said. Janzey believes the issue needs a whole of community response and action is needed now for an issue that continues to grow. "The cost of someone being homeless is about $30,000-$40,000 a year and more if you multiply that with housing, health, education, justice. There has to be collaboration and legislative changes." â&#x2014;? noosatoday.com.au

HOME OF HOPE BY MARGARET MACCOLL

ccording to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 2016 Census data there are more than 100,000 Australians homeless in virtually every part of the country including Noosa Shire where the Council of Homeless People estimates there are more than 200 homeless. As well as people sleeping rough ABS defines homelessness to include people in shelters, boarding houses, temporary housing or those living in severely crowded houses. Social planners Briggs and Mortar were contracted by Noosa Council to produce Noosa Council Housing Needs Assessment in 2017 which identified affordability as a particular issue in Noosa Shire due to employment being frequently in low skilled, casual or part-time positions. "Hospitality workers, sales assistants, transitory and young workers are considered particularly vulnerable to housing affordability issues. It outlined a Residential Development Strategy that recommended affordable housing strategies be developed at a regional level (that is, including Gympie Regional Council and Sunshine Coast Council areas) particularly as Noosa Shire has forecast low population growth and suggested any surplus Council-owned land should be used to support low cost housing outcomes. Other recommendations in its strategy included to promote construction of one to two bedroom units and smaller houses and units, rather than large dwellings; work with and support local and regional housing providers to provide low cost, medium to long term housing; and investigate the extent to which houses in the detached housing zone are let for short-term holiday rental and the resultant impact on noosatoday.com.au

Last October Noosa Council brought together a number of not-for-profit organisations for Social Services Hub Day, a fortnightly one-stop-shop initiative at TaitDuke Community Cottage to provide services for people who are facing hardship. Since opening it's service range coordinated by Noosa Council has grown and includes Sunny Street mobile health service, St Vincent de Paul, Red Cross Employment Services, Orange Sky Laundry, Department of Housing, Centrelink, NDIS and United Synergies and every couple of months services across the greater region meet to work on issues. By far the cost of housing and limited access to affordable housing is the most important issue affecting visitors to the centre and while most people come to discuss housing issues many are assisted by other services while they are there. Musician Steve Goodchild came to Noosa in 1976 and played in a rock n roll band and

Ryan Glass is overjoyed at the help he has received through the hub which is enabling him to find a job and get back on his feet after being homeless for six years. With assistance he has obtained his driving licence again and been more than pleased to gain a few offers of driving jobs and the promise of a better future. "I've got a choice of jobs," he said. "It's a bit weird. I think it'll happen in a few weeks." Sunny Street doctors Nova Evans and Sonia Goodwin see an average of four to eight patients in their two hourly sessions and many other patients have health checks conducted by visiting nurses. Dr Evans said they had had diagnosed conditions such as diabetes, asthma, Hepatitis and immunised many against the flu. With the cooler months they are treating more chest infections which they hope they can treat early

and prevent from becoming a serious illness requiring hospital admission. One notable success was a man who hadn't seen a doctor in 30 years. "He said I'd like to be able to walk pain free. I haven't done that in 10 years," he told them. They hooked him up with a podiatrist and he now walks pain free. Some people come just to have a chat and Cynthia Hunter from the Australian Red Cross is happy to provide a listening ear along with tea and coffee and sandwiches. United Synergies provide a range of services to people from showers and laundry to mental health and financial advice and also report some great success stories have come from the service, particularly in helping people sort out debt problems. A United Synergies representative said single males were their most common clients at Noosa and the cost of housing was a major issue.

TWO NOOSA LOCALS HONOURED BY ABBEY CANNAN Two outstanding members of the Noosa community will soon be recipients of a Queen's Birthday Honour and appointed as a Member in the General Division of the Order of Australia. The Order of Australia was established in 1975 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with the purpose to recognise, by national honour, those who have made outstanding contributions that benefit their communities, and ultimately our country. Peregian Beach resident Emeritus Professor Richard Fotheringham is being recognised for his significant service to higher education and to the performing arts, while Noosa Heads resident Dr William Sultmann is being honoured for his significant service to education and to the community. Professor Fotheringham has had a lengthy career, with his areas of research including Australian drama, Australian performing arts policy, English Renaissance staging, textual criticism, and Australian stage comedy. Dr Fotheringham said that it was lovely to be recognised. "I've had a long career, both in university education and the performing arts and it's really great to be recognised," he said. Dr Fotheringham moved to Peregian Beach in 2011 after retiring from his last position in Brisbane. "Peregian is home for us and it's a lovely place to be. I still do some research for the university and I'm still a member of the board of the Queensland Theatre Company. I was the Chair of the Queensland Theatre Company for six years so I thought it was time to give someone else a go," he joked. Dr Fotheringham said he feels very strongly about the arts. "I grew up in Rockhampton so I know what it feels like to not have access to any performing arts opportunities. I was a really shy kid and I found that drama and performing arts was a terrific way of taking myself out of my comfort zone and it gave me confidence," he said.

Peregian Beach resident Emeritus Professor Richard Fotheringham. Dr Fotheringham said he believes his greatest achievement was in his role as Executive Dean in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Queensland, where he managed to turn around a very difficult financial situation and get the course running smoothly again. Although he has had a long career, Fotheringham said it has been a very fun one and he is now enjoying retirement in Peregian Beach. "My wife and I always come up to Noosa Beach to swim, we do a lot of cooking and walking in the national parks and I still do a little bit of researching specialising in Australian Theatre and Shakespeare as well," he said.

Noosa Heads resident Dr William Sultmann pictured with his wife.

Another local being honoured is Dr Sultmann, who has been a teacher, psychologist, practical theologian and administrator with expansive executive and governance roles in education, health and welfare. His latest appointments include Director of Catholic School Identity and Mission, Associate Professor, and Deputy Dean within the La Salle Academy of the Australian Catholic University. Dr Sultmann said he was really pleased and thankful to be receiving the honour, but is aware that it is more than just an individual effort. "It's a great honour of course but the bottom line is it's because you've been

privileged by experiences. Whatever you contribute is a means by the contributions of the people around you," he said. Sultmann has lived in Noosa Heads for a number of years, after retiring and moving to the area with his wife to be closer to family. "I think my greatest achievement would be just focusing on the mission of each of the enterprises that I've been in. I've done a lot of different things in essence and each had its own mission. Whether it's a welfare or government sector each has its own intention. The greatest achievement is to try and understand those parameters that you're empowered to work within," Dr Sultmann said. â&#x2014;?

AMERICAN STUDENTS SURFING WITH MASTER SHAPER TOM BY ABBEY CANNAN Master surfboard shaper Tom Wegener spent the day teaching American students from the University of Wyoming to surf at Noosa Main Beach on Tuesday 4 June as part of a Surfing and Sustainability day. Students learnt about the Noosa Surfing Reserve, how to find the perfect wave, about the local surf culture, surfboard design and history. The group of students are spending three weeks visiting the Sunshine Coast and attending the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC), as part of the University of Wyoming 'Human and Physical Landscapes of South East Queensland' course. USC Senior Research Fellow in Geography, Dr Tristan Pearce said he worked with Tom Wegener to bring surfing into university courses. "I get to work on all sorts of issues of global sustainability and I found that surfing is just one of the vehicles to learn about this. He (Tom) just completed his PHD in the sustainability of surfing industry. How good is that? He's the recipient of the Word Surf Board Shaper of the Year and he continues 8 NOOSA TODAY

Tom was born right in the centre of surfing in California, where he became enthralled with shaping boards. Eventually, he moved to Noosa Heads where he started making his traditional style longboards. Tom said that as a surfboard designer,

Thursday, 13 June, 2019

he has his own place in the surfing world which is an overall very friendly and fun place to be. "The surf is just perfect here (in Noosa). There's five right points here, whereas in California there's Malibu with one right point and all of Los Angeles County, which is the entire population of Australia, would

just try to push their way into surf. In Noosa, there's five Malibu's. Then there's the attitude and the relaxation of the Australian surf culture ... the attitude is you come and you have a barbecue on the beach. You can see the respect they have for the ocean. There's parks along the front of the beach and the river here, which is something we don't have, especially on the East Coast of the United States," Tom said. "You look at this beautiful headland here and there's no houses on it. Of course, if that was America there would be a gate right there with big giant mansions that are empty except for two weeks of the year. The reason Noosa is like it is today is because of the hard working action by the community to keep the developers at bay." Tom said that he hoped the Wyoming students would get to feel the energy of the ocean during their lesson. "There's so much more to surfing than surfing big waves and being strong and having tattoos and winning contests. Surfing has been around as long as humans have been around." â&#x2014;? noosatoday.com.au

FOCUS ON â&#x20AC;Ś Education

MONTESSORI NOOSA CELEBRATES HOPE "The child is both a hope and promise of mankind," famous words of Dr. Maria Montessori, the globally iconic founder of the Montessori education system. Over the past six years, this has become more than simply a warm sentiment shared by Montessori Noosa Principal Richard Wallace, as he has grown the initial idea of opening a Montessori school, into his daily purpose - and possibly into the best-kept secret in Noosa education. Montessori Noosa opened to its first students in 2017 and has steadily grown in capacity to now currently serving the needs of 45 6-12 year olds. The opening was especially pleasing to families with little ones enrolled in the early learning program at Karinya Montessori Children's House in Cooroy, which now acts as the priority feeder school into Montessori Noosa. With the recent approval to expand into secondary school encompassing grades 7 through 10, grade 7 will now launch in 2020 with a class of 10 students and grow yearly thereafter. As currently enrolled families collectively sigh relief over a seamless Montessori education in Noosa, it has also created an exciting opportunity to open for community growth. Richard explains that with the addition of grade 7, a few limited spaces are now available to welcome new students to the school. While a Montessori school is new to the Noosa community, the Montessori approach to education is long standing around the world with the Noosa School being one of

over 22,000 Montessori schools worldwide and the newest addition to the 300+ schools in the Australian portfolio. Montessori Noosa offers a different kind of educational experience with a careful and deliberate cultivation of culture and learning within the school. The tactile learning

environment is designed to inspire and empower the students to direct their own deep learning journey. Richard passionately believes that the school has a responsibility to ready its children for their future, ultimately aiming to empower children to be strong and

decisive leaders who change their world according to their gifts and passions. For Noosa families seeking a more individualised and self directed approach to education, the school is now welcoming enquiries into the 2020 grade 7 program. â&#x2014;?

SLIPPERY, WET AND WILD HILL CLIMB BY MARGARET MACCOLL The wet weather made Noosa Hill Climb's Gyndier Drive a slippery track on the weekend but that didn't deter car enthusiasts who make the event a regular pilgrimage. Organiser Kate Rider said the crowds came out on Sunday when the sun shone on the event but it also brought a more challenging track for drivers with more spin outs on Sunday morning as the track dried than Saturday when the rain made drivers more cautious.The Ferraris were present and so was the gleaming gold Honda NSX but time-wise it was hard to beat the 1992 Dallara F392 racing car driven by a youthful Michael Von Rappard and owned by father and son mechanics Michael and his dad Harold. This is the seventh year the pair have travelled from Airlie Beach to the Noosa Hill Climb after their first visit inspired them to buy the car which has completed the track in 51 seconds. "They said if you want a fast car this is the way to go," Michael said. "We found this one in England and brought it over here. It's incredibly fast and such a great thrill to drive." Another father and son team John and David Anderson were there to hang out together and share their interest in cars with fellow enthusiasts. Both agreed their 1932 Triumph was the better to drive and fastest of their two cars compared to their 1955 Austin Healey.

David Anderson and his 1955 Austin Healey.

Race drivers Brian Pettit, 78, and Daryll Searle talk cars. Off and racing. "It's terrific fun to drive," John said. "You do 80km/hr in this and you feel like you're doing 180km/hr. It'll do 200km/hr on the straight. Noosa Hill is good for it - you don't have to use the brakes." The two have traveled from Brisbane to the Noosa Hill Climb each year for the past 15 year, as has Phil Charles who makes the hill climb in his Formula Libre

in 60 seconds. Phil races with various clubs each month having bought the racing car in place of Lotus and Mustangs. He said with no grip on the tyres the wet track was a bit scary and at half the horse power was never going to match the Dallara. The Noosa Summer Hill Climb will be held 9-10 November. ●

PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY FROM FIRE BY ABBEY CANNAN Queenslanders are being advised not to leave home fire safety out in the cold this winter, as new figures reveal the State's south east is at greater risk of house fires during the cooler months. Minister for Fire and Emergency Services Craig Crawford said the trend toward house fires during winter was worrying for those in the south east corner. "Last year, firefighters attended about 520 house fires in winter," Mr Crawford said. The team at North Coast Fire Protection have continued to supply quality service and products for over 25 years to the Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay Area, as well as

Brisbane and Caboolture. They aim to cater to all clients' needs; whether it be Body Corporate, Government Sectors, Commercial Premises, Residential Sectors, or Private Sectors. To this day, North Coast Fire Protection has retained numerous clients from 1992 and they believe it is due to their reasonable prices, their quality of work and their focus on customer service.

CONCERNS OVER 5G

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

I have for several months been concerned, and writing about the G5 network which has been installed under our noses without a word from anyone in the know. Now the 5G infrastructure is installed in Noosa, the satellites which connect to the towers (the antennae in the new LED street lights are called towers. Just to confuse you) have or are being launched to connect with them, which will connect to your 5G phone. Radiation from everywhere. Why this secrecy? What are they trying to hide from us all? Well we do know, at least some of the reason. We know that the electro-magnetic frequencies (radiation) are hundreds of times higher than ever experienced before on Earth. We know that Australia has not done research on the resulting health hazards. We follow America. Who hasn’t done independent research either. But what else don’t we know? The most vulnerable people are children whose bodies and brains are developing. One of the many possible health results is human sterility. Although I don’t do social media I am told many people are concerned. With this is mind I feel it would be beneficial for those with concerns, information or knowledge on this subject, to meet and discuss. I will be at the leisure centre cafe opposite the library at 2.45pm on Monday 17 and 24 for anyone who would like to meet mutually concerned people. I have some enlightening hand-outs. In the meantime I suggest you watch on You Tube, 5G Apocalypse - The Extinction Event. It is a scientific discussion. The chap from England who talks first has since been arrested and jailed. He no longer speaks publicly. Elizabeth Cameron, Tewantin

Only decades ago this once beautiful country of mine functioned. It looked after its families - future growth, its environment - sustainability and our economy - job done, bills paid. We were the most self-sustained country in the world, hence why Australia is disconnected from the rest of the world with vast expanses of water. We were not attached to the rot and still could be an island unto our own. Political parties, telecommunications, banking, education, medical bodies all operated with little complaint or negligence. Life was still good, problems resolved or met. Now we have looming over our heads and banging on our bank door, the most sinister arrogance, ignorance, greed, narcissism, neglect and absolute crap I have had to personally deal with myself or listened to those experienced of others. It has become so atrocious that I have chosen to put all complaints onto a channel for all to read so they can see they are not alone. And there lays an immediate problem. Quite obviously this whole globalisation concept is to feed the elite (those built of corruption) by smothering small, creative businesses and stealing their ideas. Transferring black money overseas and putting into real estate/development while not paying their subbies or taxes. They made this channel through councils, planning departments and their certifiers. These ‘elite’ move our unemployable youth (no fault of their own) around the world promising work that never exists leaving them close to poverty, harsh working conditions and despair - a new stratum of slavery. All this so they can generally think only of themselves to keep their hierarchy sustained in caviar. Obviously there are many other areas but these are the experiences I meet weekly. There is no more Australian lifestyle lounging on the beach, spending time with kids, trekking through a mountain range ... talking to your neighbour. Life that was once full of laughter, time out and a loving care that all felt when they were born in my now sunburnt country has gone. Yet every foreigner agrees, that’s what life was meant to be about. I believe our true ancestors would manage this country better than the white man who obviously took it then ‘lost it’. Let’s go back to that state and take hold of what is rightfully theirs. Hopefully they would look after us like our mama would. Jen Oakley, Noosa

far the most destructive force on the planet is power-driven financiers and profit-driven corporations and their cartels, backed by military might; and that the global warming myth is a red herring that contributes to hiding this truth”. Rancourt's dissent on man-made climate fears does not sit well with many of his former green friends. “When I tell environmental activists that global warming is not something to be concerned about, they attack me, they shun me, they do not allow me to have my materials published in their magazines. “Climate change 'science’ is part of just another screw-the-people scam,” he explained. “Carbon trading will be the largest financial extortion enterprise ... the whole climate change scam is now driven by the top-level financiers newly eyeing a multi-trilliondollar paper economy of carbon trading and this is the reason it’s now a dominant mainstream media and corporate messaging presence,” asserts Denis Rancourt, physicist, caring, environmental scientist and now whistle-blower. Peter Honzatko, Twin Waters

SMALL BUSINESS HELP Brisbane City Council is just about to announce that they are going to slash fees for eateries across the city. Cafes and restaurants will have their council fees slashed under a multi-million dollar push from Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner to back small business in the suburbs. Footpath dining permit fees for new busi-

nesses will be cut in half when council unveils its annual budget next week - a saving of about $670. Food business licences for new eateries will also be reduced by 50 per cent to about $400 a year, while existing small businesses will get a 10 per cent reduction in annual fees. The discounts will be focused on fees and charges small business are most often impacted by. Better use of local shopfronts will mean more to see and do locally, right across Brisbane. Now let’s hope that local councils (SC council and Noosa Council) will jump on board and follow these measures, and create a more positive attitude toward small business here on the coast. The Sunshine Coast Council under Mark Jamieson have been shown to be very proactive and encouraging to small business in the tourism industries, but the same cannot be said about the Noosa Council’s negative and at times pedantic attitude to new small businesses on their tourist strip. If anything, the Noosa Council has been known to go to extra lengths and make things extremely difficult for anyone breaking their very strict rules and regulations. Let’s hope that with the next council election coming up in nine months, the Noosa Council will wake up to itself and realise that small businesses are the heart and soul of the community.

Renowned environmentalist, scientist and former passionate advocate for global warming, is physicist Denis Rancourt. He has through careful and meticulous research discovered otherwise. He has now turned whistle-blower on the whole global warming industry. A former professor and environmental science researcher at the University of Ottawa, Rancourt argues that global warming is a “corrupt social phenomena. Strictly an imaginary problem of the First World middle-class.” Rancourt, who has authored over 100 articles in scientific journals, argues “that by

WHAT’S ON FANTASTICAL MUSICAL EXTRAVAGANZA The incredible free live event 'Sound Feast' is back on Friday 26 April from 6pm at The J. It's a great night out for all ages to enjoy with a line up including guitarist, singer and songwriter Chris Matthews. Whilst Chris is becoming recognised as one of the great players in Australia on the guitar, mandolin, banjo, lap steel,

and anything else with strings, he's also an incredibly talented songwriter. Eminently listenable, approachable, and a truly Australian sound to his tunes, he's one of the rare artists who can combine impeccable musicianship with self-penned songs that almost anyone can relate to. Also on the lineup is debut touring art-

ist, Jeremiah Johnson. Singer, songwriter Jeremiah with his exemplary guitar work is one of the rare few Australian artists who, in point of fact, tour the country twelve months of the year. The big band of the night with an infections groove is 'The Steele Syndicate'. An evolution of Steele McMahon's solo

work, the Brisbane-based octet has an eclectic, genre-bending sound that reimagines elements of old school funk, reggae, ska and indie rock. Rich vocal harmonies blend with a roaring, four piece horn section to create music that is energized and emotional, for dancing. ●

NOOSA JAZZ CLUB AT THE J Noosa Heads Jazz Club will present The Session Band with Peter Uppman at The J Noosa Theatre on Saturday 15 June with music from 7.30 to 10.30pm.

AFTER SEVEN YEARS ORGAN RETURNS TO MAJESTIC

SECRET GARDEN OUTBACK After its sell-out success at the Anywhere Festival, The Secret Garden - An Australian Outback Story, will play at the Noosa Arts Theatre with 100 per cent of ticket sales raising funds for the drought crisis and to support farmers in need. From the classic all-time favourite novel, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, comes a cleverly adapted for drama, Australian story about a 15 yearold orphan who leaves her comfortable existence in India to travel to her uncle's outback cattle station in Queensland. Red Robin Entertainment's, producer Helena Wylie and writer-husband Roger Wylie, will bring back their play for a special encore performance with all ticket proceeds going to Drought Angels in honour of

Queensland farmers. "This is an uplifting and inspirational story that shows that anything is possible and never to underestimate the power of nature," Helena said. "The play features colourful adult and youth performers that will appeal to all ages, tackling matters of life including self-acceptance and friendship and brought together with bush poetry and music. The play features well-known local actors Eileen Walder and Paul Southgate, aspiring young actors including Year 10 student Bianca Wylie in the lead role and Sam Conway from TV series Redfern Now. Tickets cost $45 and $25 for concessions students under 18, pensioners and concession and groups of 10 or more and

include complimentary light refreshments by way of a grazing table. Drinks will be available for purchase from the Noosa Arts Theatre. Book your tickets at https://www. noosaartstheatre.org.au/the-secret-gardenan-australian-outback-story-1923/ tickets are now on sale All you need to know: The Secret Garden - An Australian Outback Story will be performed on 3 August at 2pm and 7pm at Noosa Arts Theatre, 163 Weyba Road, Noosaville.

Seven years ago at Pomona's Majestic Theatre, Ron West's beloved theatre organ was damaged beyond repair when floodwaters rose above the floorboards. An SOS call went out to fellow organ enthusiast John Brooks, who summoned the expertise of Don Clark to assist him in assessing the damage. They both agreed it was a lost cause, however Don recalled there was a similar organ in Brisbane that may be looking for a new home. Every (rain) cloud has a silver lining, and in this case, it was a rare, 1937 Compton Theatre Organ owned by the Linett family, who were keen to see its complex restoration completed before being permanently placed in a special venue such as the Majestic Theatre. It was a huge job to dismantle the many parts of the organ and bring it to the Sunshine Coast where it would undergo a mammoth restoration of every component. For over six years, John and Don rebuilt and restored it to its former glory, sourcing parts from all around the country to ensure its authenticity. Every part was stripped down and rebuilt by these two dedicated volunteers and their skilled helpers. Finally, the restoration is complete and The Majestic Theatre will be celebrating it's rejuvenation on 6 July at 2pm with the legendary Ron West playing his favourites, followed by a concert by renowned Brisbane theatre organist David Bailey.

SPORT TODAY DRAGONS NEVER GIVE UP U10s Match Report by Team Manager Pamela Campbell Jones Two half games in Maleny for the U10 Dragons this weekend. Firstly, against the Saints and the team was showing some good structure. The forwards were contesting the ruck and our backs had good positional play. The Dragons were taking and making plenty of tackles and it was a tight game with each side scoring a couple of tries. A try in the last minute saw the Saints take home the win. In the second game against Brothers, the Dragons played well without subs. Again, there were plenty of tackles being made, some very strong scrums from the Dragons and good support play. The Brothers ran away with the win. Dragons coaches and supporters were happy with the way the boys played today. Over the two games, Man of the Match went to Craig and Zach was awarded Most Improved Player. U7's match report by Team Manager Jero

Mansell The Dragons U7's had a very strong game at Maleny against a good Maroochydore side. The Dragons further developed their structured passing which they started last week which is helping with participation, ensuring support play and spreading the team more. Scrums and lineouts were introduced this week providing another challenge for the coaching staff. Tristan Youd had a player of the week performance with his weaving runs dissecting the Maroochydore defence on a number of occasions. Well done U7's. U6s Match Report by Team Manager Rachael Griggs The mighty U6 displayed some impressive passing this morning in Maleny up against Maroochydore. Slick passing meant all players crossed the try line and their defence efforts proved hard to break. Henry scoring player of the day with a "never give up" attitude. Well done Dragons. ●

WINS AND LOSSES ON MUDDY FIELDS U9 Noosa Fins OMG what an awesome round for the Under 9 Fins. Mud and rain and two games of footy. Coaches Shane and Josh super proud of all the boys this week of stepping up to being on the field without a Coach. First game against St. Andrews and the forwards Alex, Kellen, Flynn and Cody worked hard on pushing over those rucks with an even score against Saints that was our warmup, all boys putting in a huge effort against Brothers with tries all round. Dominoes Superstar this week Hamish Payne U11 Noosa Reds Grammar 29 V Noosa Reds 14 The first defeat of the season for the Reds came from a slick, talented and well prepared Grammar team. The boys now know exactly where the bar is set to be the best on the coast. Two excellent team tries from Noosa were not enough as Grammar punished any small mistakes with end to end tries and dominance at the breakdown lead to a wealth of possession for the home side. The Noosa boys made their coaching panel proud as they fought to the final whistle under intense pressure in front of an appreciative crowd of spectators. Dominos pizza player of the day was

Charlie Harmer. U12 Noosa Dolphins Noosa 20 V Uni 14 The Noosa Dolphins U12's started off well against Uni at Flinders on Saturday, leading 10 - 0 at half time. Flinders put in a big effort in the 2nd half but Noosa Dolphins U12's were too good, winning 20-14 Try scorers Lachie Coid, Jamie Leitch, Mali Onfray-Hawkins and Max McKerrow U13 Noosa Dophins Noosa 8 V Saints 20 The U/13's took on Saints in damp and greasy conditions at Flinders School. It was going to be a tough physical match between two strong teams. Saints scored an early try to get first points but Noosa stuck to the game plan and constantly applied excellent pressure and were rewarded soon after with a penalty goal. After half time there was some really exciting back and forth rugby played which resulted in a fantastic try from Pearl to keep Noosa in the game but to their credit Saints dug deep and answered with two late tries and a penalty goal to win 20-8. U14 Noosa Dolphins Noosa 7 V Grammer 41 Noosa U/14's travelled down to Grammar to take them on on their own turf. The late timing of the game did not suit the travellers. The game was hard fought with Noosa coming out second best .Grammar defeated Noosa 41-7. U15 Noosa Dolphins Noosa 17 V Norths Maroon 19 Noosa were dominant early on and took a 17 point lead before Norths gradually ground their way back into the game. Noosa led the game for 47 minutes but in the last play of the game, Norths levelled the score and converted their try to take the win. ●

NOOSA NETBALL IS ON THE RISE Despite heavy overcast weather and scattered showers hitting the Noosa District Netball Association facilities on Saturday morning, nothing could dampen the enthusiasm of hundreds of young players. At 8.30 the Saturday netball program for children, ranging in age from 5 to 16 was under way; with all courts occupied it was definitely a full on morning. According to a flyer provided by Secretary Sue Lowrie, "Saturday morning netball provides both competitive games for children 11yrs and up, with boys and girls participating and the very popular Net Set Go Program, a program which is aimed at our youngest members." Over on a court situated in the far corner The Net Set Go Program was under way with the very young being taught, (under the supervision of senior officials), the basic skills of the game. In some cases the balls which the players were being taught to catch and throw, were almost as big as them: the next step is modified games. Also at the same time junior umpires are going through the very successful umpiring mentoring program; and amongst the mentors there is a National A Badged Umpire, Eve Shepherd. This has been so successful that a number of the juniors have progressed to their National C Badges. "Our Coach the Coach education sessions," said Sue Lowrie, "have been popular this year providing both development for our coaches and improved netball for our players, with 20 new coaches gaining accreditation. This year we have nominated three teams in the Queensland State Age Carnival and they are supported by two development squads. We also have a junior development squad who are our younger players, hoping to be selected in

our State Age teams next year." With regard to the coaches the club this year received a funding grant from the local council to assist in their development. "For this we are very grateful," said the secretary. With players officials and families coming and going between games it is estimated that some 480 people pass through the grounds on a Saturday morning. President Beverly Bullivant said, "With the assistance of our dedicated committee and volunteers, netball in Noosa continues to go from strength to strength. We continue to offer development opportunities to all our members and are particularly excited to offer Walking Netball later this year." Walking Netball is a new game which got under way some twelve months ago in Brisbane and is aimed at ladies, who for one

reason or another would prefer not to play the traditional version (lots of running and jumping)but still want to be involved in the game. Caloundra and Maroochydore have recently made moves in this direction and our local club is planning a demonstration game which will be held on a Saturday morning on a date to be fixed. While our local open sea swimmers Nick Sloman and Kareena Lee, are competing and going through heavy training for the Open Sea World Championships to be held in South Korea in July, another local Jordan Mercer has not only been contesting

another World Open Sea Championship Event, but has come home a winner. The event was the Molokai Challenge Ski Race. Held over a distance of 53kl and over the open waters from Molokai to Oahu Hawaii, this event with ski paddlers from all over the world competing is looked upon as the World Championship for skis; or as the American promoters call it, "The Superbowl of Ski Racing." Not only did Jordan win but she did so in record time of 3hrs 47 min 20sec.Congratulations to not only Jordan, but her support team led by her dad Darren and fiance Tim Matters. â&#x2014;?

FISHING COOLED BY CHILLY WEATHER IN THE AIR AND AT SEA With the drop of air and water temperatures the fishing has been a bit tougher this week. We also had some windy conditions to go with it so the windows of opportunity were shorter. Offshore the conditions were mixed with a few days of light swell and winds making North Reef popular with snapper, sweetlip, cobia, tuskies and the occasional longtail tuna coming in. Sunshine reef also produced a few coral trout, sweetlip, longtail tuna and the odd mackerel. Halls reef was the pick during windier days as it's a bit more protected. Pilchard floaters have been working well on catching longtail tuna and mackerel during the early morning tides. Trolling garfish and bonito is still a great go to for this area as the bigger pelagic fish love this area and these baits. Surf fishing is picking up with chopper tailor, whiting, bream and GT's on the catch menu. These fish have been taking 30 gram slugs. Whole pilchards fished on smaller light gang hooks and running sinker rigs has been working well for anglers fishing off the headlands and have been getting small snapper, sweetlip and trevally. In the estuary queenfish and flathead noosatoday.com.au

have been taking a wide range of lures and baits. If lure fishing curly tail plastics with a good application of scent and 12lb leaders to prevent getting rubbed off are the go to. Whole fish baits on gang or snelled rigs and lightly weighted also work very well as they cover more ground in the current. The frying pan toward the mouth of Lake Cooroibah is a great area to find these species. Other species on the list include mangrove jacks, tailor and various trevally species including cale cale and diamonds. Trevally can be found around woods bay, Munna Bridge and the ski run sections. They love soft vibes, micro jigs and grub style soft plastics as well as whitebait and herring baits. With the rains, now is a great time to get your crab pots out. Remember to keep your pots out of the boating channel and keep them clearly marked. Borumba and Lake MacDonald are the closest options for anglers wishing to target bass as the annual closure is now in effect. Slower moving suspending lures are a must for anyone working the edges and are sure to entice a bite. The rains have seen the air temps rise a few degrees making early starts

fish to school up and hunt for bait. So on behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures! â&#x2014;? Thursday, 13 June, 2019
