In 2016 Sydney architect Peter Colquhoun wrote for CNN about the iconic surf club buildings around Australia. "These remarkable pieces of national architecture -- many of which were built more than a century ago by volunteer labor -- save lives, bridge age and social divides and bring communities together through a love of the ocean and a cold beer," he said. "They also provide a community service by offering amenities for swimmers and surfers, storage for life saving equipment and a place for a drink or meal with your mates." I don't think Peregian Beach surf club will win any architectural awards. Depending on Council's decision, it may neither be a base for surf lifesaving nor a place to share a drink or meal. What then is the purpose of a surf club? ● - Margaret Maccoll

DATE SET FOR PARDON TRIAL Noosa Councillor Frank Pardon appeared in Maroochydore District Court for a pre-trial hearing on Monday 1 July after being charged with six counts of indecent treatment of a child under 16. The alleged incidents took place in the mid-1990's prior to Cr Pardon being elected to the Noosa Council in 1997. Police said the 67-year-old has been charged with historical indecent treatment offences after an investigation by detectives from the Noosa Child Protection Investigation Unit. Representing Cr Pardon in court was solicitor David Butler and barrister A. Hoare. Barrister Hoare submitted an application to the court requesting to have certain evidence from the prosecution, regarding the subject matter of hypnotherapy affecting the memory, excluded from the trial. "I'm not suggesting that the evidence makes the trial unlawful,
I'm suggesting that it makes the trial unfair," barrister Hoare told the court. Judge Long responded stating, "You're saying the evidence should be excluded under the lines of discretion that it is unfair to your client." "If the defence can adequately test that the memory of the complainant is true, then it would be up to the jury," barrister Hoare said. Two psychologists/ hypnotherapists that had sessions with the complainant appeared in the court for questioning. The first psychologist had a session with the complainant on 1 August 2014 and stated that she never undertook hypnotherapy with the complainant. "The first session is about establishing a connection with the client and then we workout a treatment plan," she said. "The complainant did not come to me for hypnotherapy, it was for
depression and weight loss issues. "All that I can refer to in my notes is that the complainant made a reference to sexual abuse by Frank Pardon and that he apparently brought flowers to her school. "The complainant stated that the event first occurred when she was 13 and that she told her mother when she was 28 but her mother didn't believe her. "The complainant did not wish to speak further about the sexual abuse and I did not push her to go into further detail." The second hypnotherapist called to the stand was Mr David Taylor, who had four consultations with the complainant. "She came to me for binge-eating and weight loss in 2013. With that particular case I would've engaged in direct hypnosis to achieve the outcome that she was looking for," Mr Taylor said."Hypnosis is a natural state of mind where the subconscious mind becomes
heightened. Any person can be hypnotised if they want to be. "I can positively say that she never mentioned any such sexual abuse to myself. If somebody mentioned sexual abuse to me, I would refer them back to their GP or a psychologist. "To the best of my recollection, the complainant responded well to my techniques, in terms of relaxation and progress from the first session." During the pre-trial, the defendant's application to the court was withdrawn after receiving legal advice. The matter was adjourned to the next call over, with the trial set to begin on the week commencing Monday 2 December 2019. The trial is expected to last seven days and to hear from multiple experts. The defendant's bail was enlarged. ●
FISHERMEN RISE ABOVE THE FIRE Boreen Point fisherman Errol “Jimmy“ Lindsay is not going to let the torching of his boat two weeks ago stop him earning a living nor prevent him from continuing to do the work he’s done for almost 50 years. Jimmy’s fishing trawler along with that of fellow fisherman John Clarke were targeted by arsonists in the early hours on June 22 with both boats burnt to the water line while others anchored beside were left untouched. Jimmy has begun building a new boat, telling his wife Julie, “It’s not going to beat me“. With the hull already completed and fibreglassed outside he hopes to
have it completed and be back on the water in another week. Julie said the new build would set them back about $20,000 which didn’t account for loss of income from three weeks without work. She said with insurance for a commercial boat costing about $6000 a year it was an expense considered too much and to be a target of arson at Boreen Point wasn’t something they expected. “They’re just two old gentlemen who make a bit of a living. The point is with a lot of retired people, they give up work and with the stress and worry of being able to earn a living without work they die.“ “I want to keep working until I can’t work,“ Jimmy told Julie. John Clarke has a second boat
and after a break for a couple of weeks to spend school holidays with his grandchildren he also intends to be back fishing. The community has rallied to help the fishermen with offers to help with the building and the setting up of a gofundme page to raise money to assist with expenses. She said over the past 18 months Jimmy’s boat had been the target of petty incidences including damage to the motors which they reported to the police. Anyone with information should contact Noosa Police on 5440 8111 or Policelink on 131 444. To assist the fisherman visit https://www.gofundme.com/f/localfishermen039s-boats-destroyed-byarson ●
Alby on the improve.
ALBY BETTER Hastings Street's albino scrub turkey known as Alby is recovering well at RSPCA Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre at Eumundi after being hit by a car a few weeks ago. Centre manager Vicky Toomey said the popular bird sustained head injuries in the accident which were still healing and would be remaining at the centre for a bit longer. "She's starting to feed herself but it's not looking like she's ready to be released yet," she said. ●

FOUR BY RON LANE here is a major problem throughout Australia that cannot be ignored, for it involves all parents who have children of school age. The problem is the School Yard Bully. So wide spread is this that rarely a week goes by that it does not feature in our evening news; and in some cases it has resulted in mental breakdown and even suicide. But now here in Noosa we have a group of four (who formed up in early 2018) who have decided to tackle this problem head on. Despite the fact they are only fourteen years of age, they have made remarkable advances, not only in their own school but also outside, at state, national and as of now, international level. It was on 12 March 2018 that the boys really spoke up. "As a team we felt that the underlying problem, was that children often feel embarrassed or intimated to talk to teachers parents or other adults; so we decided that a good idea would be to form a team of kids, that kids can talk to and we could talk (to them) and help give advice. Then on March 19, we came up with the name

Bully Buddies; and that started our journey as the "Bully Buddies." These young men who obviously carry old heads on young shoulders, determination and acceptance of responsibility beyond their years are Luca Dadzio, Charlie Fraser, Xavier Hargreaves and Lachy SandfordBell. All are members of St Andrews Anglican College, Peregian Springs, Sunshine Coast, Queensland. To consolidate their plan of action they designated a role for each group member and began working on the Bully Buddies website, YouTube and posters. The roles were designated as followers: for Luca it was Design Graphics and Marketing Manager, Charlie is Survey and Information Manager, Xavier is Information and Research Manager and Lachy is Website Designer and Information Manager. "Will we ever eradicate bullying?" the Buddies ask. "Maybe not, but what we have put in place, piece by piece, is what the great Mahatma Gandhi called us all to do-, 'Be the change you wish to see in the world.' Further to this, they continue to develop their YouTube Channel to inform kids of the threat bullying poses, plus information and help to keep them safe.

It all started when the boys, all good mates, decided to participate in the 2019 Community Problem Solving Project and chose as their endeavor, school yard bullying. "Because we have all been bullied and know just how important it is to have self- belief, we wanted to help, educate and give our fellow students tools to rise above the bullying. This desire gave us the idea of the Bully Buddies." As a result of this the name has become widespread, in both local and now overseas communities. To draw attention and make their fellow students more aware, they designed a black t-shirt on the front of which was the name, in big green letters, Bully Buddies. "These will be worn on the primary playground every Wednesday. Our aim is to 'Stop' the bullying, 'Alert' the teachers and 'Spread' the word, SAS—STOP, ALERT, SPREAD." According to a school flyer this grew into a Community Problem Solving Project. After many months of hard work the students submitted their project, winning first the Queensland Division, then on to Melbourne where they won the Future Problem Solving National Final. Thus, as the winners of the
Australian Championship, they were invited to represent their country at the Future Problem Solving International Final to be held in June this year at the University of Massachusetts America. ''This was a wonderful achievement by these students,'' said a school spokesperson, ''but more significantly, it is their program that they are working on that is inspiring. Mrs Jillian Green, Head of Thinking and Learning Enrichment at the college, has supported the students throughout the project and implements many strategies to increase self-belief and well-being of students." Then on Tuesday July 4, accompanied by school mentor Mrs Green and others, our Fabulous Four were on their way. After 33 hours of interconnecting flights they arrived at the University of Massachusetts: spending their first day exploring the University and making preparations for the competition. "On Thursday June 6," said Mrs Green, "we were involved in the Future Problem Solving International Final Opening Ceremony. This comprised welcoming 14 countries from across the globe and approximately 2500 students." noosatoday.com.au
a wonderful result for dedicated passionate and hardworking students." To confront such a major problem is in itself worthy of praise, but to do so at such a young age and receive international recognition, speaks volumes for not only the boys, but also their parents, teachers and the college itself. Now let them tell us, (in part), in their own words, their response, and above all their feelings. Luca Dadzio: "Bully Buddies has been one of the greatest experiences of my life; it has been awesome to work with my friends and coming up with ways to prevent bullying. It is great knowing that we have spread our message across our school and community. It is amazing to know that we have made a difference in our school. Being able to go to America, to represent our country and present our ideas to the world, and of course winning, has been such a great honor
for me and my team." CharlIe Fraser: "Before I became a Bully Buddy I was just a regular kid who liked playing AFL and cricket. It wasn't until my teacher, Mrs Green, asked myself, along with some other kids, if we wanted to participate in a competition about solving modern day problems that I began to have an interest in the Bully Buddies program. Bully Buddies has meant so much to me because you know you are helping kids who are being bullied and bit by bit solving the problem of bullying." Xavier Hargeaves: "I really enjoyed working on this project, it is amazing to see the changes we made in the primary school and watch the students take our programs with wide smiles. It is wonderful to have recognition, all the way over the other side of the world. I appreciate the hard work and commitment given by our coach Mrs Green and the assistance from St Andrews and
the Sunshine Council in getting us there. In years to come, I will always remember this experience." Lachy Sandford-Bell: "The Bully Buddies program lets me connect with the students of St Andrews and allows me to spread the consequences of bullying worldwide. Being a part of this journey has changed me as a person. I have made more friends, became more confident in what I do, but importantly I have gotten the opportunity to change my school, my community and my country. The international finals, was an amazing experience because it allowed me to meet new people from countries around the world." To address a problem of such magnitude and successfully spread the word beyond the seas should be acknowledged. So to Luca, Charlie, Xavier and Lachy, take a bow gentleman, you have done your country proud. ●

JOB WELL DONE BY COMMUNITY Local disability support charity Sunshine Butterflies celebrated the opening of their newly upgraded front entry and car park this week, hosting a BBQ lunch in recognition of the many wonderful 'angels' that made the massive project possible. A generous group of local businesses and suppliers rallied to help the charity, when faced with the insurmountable task of funding the $200,000 plus worth of road widening, on the state government owned McKinnon Drive, to upgrade the entry to the property.
They met onsite at Sunshine Butterflies headquarters, Our Backyard' this week, to cut the ribbon and officially open the newly upgraded driveway entry roundabout and new car park facility. The road widening and the addition of slip lanes, front entry upgrades, and sealing of their visitor car park areas were all necessary as part of the development approval required by Noosa Council, and to provide safer access to the 5-acre hub, 'Our Backyard'.
Led by local businessman Ray Shadforth and his civil engineering business Shadforth, the group of businesses completed the works, offering their goods and services in-kind to the charity to get the job done. The charity is also indebted to local member for Noosa Sandy Bolton MP, who worked behind the scenes to assist with the development approval and former Noosa Councillor Russell Green from RG Strategic, and the team at TOD Engineering also assisted to get
the project off the ground initially. CEO Leanne Walsh said it would not have been feasible for them to undertake this project without support. "We have been blown away by their generosity. We simply cannot thank them enough for what they have given us," she said.

GO FISHING - TIME TO REDUCE STOCK BY MARGARET MACCOLL Lake Macdonald's fish stockers are urging Noosa residents and visitors to go fishing in order to deplete the stock in the lake prior to the dam wall upgrade beginning in March 2020 which will necessitate the lowering of the water level. Russell Manning of Lake Macdonald Freshwater Fishing Association said each year the lake is stocked with fingerlings of
bas, yellow belly and Mary River cod which join a self-breeding population of Saratoga. "We enhance the fishing. They're all native fish," he said. Russell said the conditions in the lake do not normally allow for the fish to breed apart from occasions when winter flooding has carried fish over the spill way into the Mary River where they spawn. Lake Macdonald is one of a
number of dams in South East Queensland earmarked for upgrading as part of Seqwater's Dam Improvement Program. This will be the first major upgrade of the dam since the walls were raised in 1980. It will involve building a new spillway and reconstructing earth embankments. Questions on the project can be emailed to lakemacdonald@ seqwater.com.au ●

NIPPERS AND MARKETS: THE FUTURE The future of Peregian Beach nippers program and the Peregian Beach markets sit in limbo while they await the decision from Noosa Council on the future of the Peregian Beach surf club in this month's council meetings. Peregian Nippers coordinator Lyndon Forlonge said his program had been seriously affected by Council's expressions of interest (EOI) process which closed last month after calling for community groups to apply to lease the top level of the two-storey Peregian Beach surf club. Lyndon said no permit had been issued which would allow nippers to continue from the surf club. "We'd usually start advertising for Nippers from mid-July when the kids head back to school but we can't go ahead until we know what's happening with the building," he said. "We had a great first season last year, with 110 Nippers signing up. This year we were expecting around 150 registrations, but the EOI process has thrown us into limbo." Community group Peregian Family and Friends president Kane Livingstone said there was no consideration under the EOI for the needs of volunteer surf lifesaving and no requirement for the permitholder to comply with the gazetted purpose of the land to provide surf lifesaving at Peregian.
The future of the nippers program at Peregian Beach rests on Councils EOI decision. "SLSQ had formally advised the Council that denial of occupancy to the full clubhouse would severely compromise the capacity to provide a sustainable lifesaving operation," he said. Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving Club currently holds the permit to run Peregian Beach markets and
Noosa Council has extended their market permit only until the end of September.A Council spokesman said Council would provide a report on the outcome of the EOI process, with recommendations, to the July round of Council meetings. "This decision will provide ample time for future planning of surf
lifesaving activities," he said. "The Peregian markets permit was extended until the end of September to allow for the expression of interest process to be finalised. "The report will provide details on future management arrangements for surf lifesaving at Peregian." â—?
HOPES HIGH FOR A COMPLETE CYCLING NETWORK BY MARGARET MACCOLL Cyclists are hoping Noosa Council's $250,000 shire-wide walking and cycling pathway study will result in a complete and viable alternative transport option. Bike On director Tracey Wyatt said it was fantastic Council was looking at a way to get more people biking and though Noosa had a good network of bike pathways it was missing a few connections and needed more infrastructure. Noosa Parade coming into Hastings Street and Noosa Drive from Hastings Street to Noosa Junction are the main ones, she said. "They're vital and they're missing," she said. "Noosa has a good natural advantage. Most of it is flat in the busy areas. You can get around on a regular bike." Noosa Bike Shop's Neil Johnson said he wanted the study to be practical and aimed at completing work done 10 years ago."There's a lot of areas done and done pretty well," he said. 8 NOOSA TODAY

"There was a plan about 10 years ago. What was started many years ago should be completed. And they've got to update bike paths that share with the road and find a way to get rid of cars that park in them." A collaboration between Open Noosa, Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN), Ecotekk and Grassroots Noosa is already working on the issue, having created an interactive map to highlight trouble spots across Noosa's cycling network, with a vision to create "an active transport community providing smooth, efficient, enjoyable and safe cycling for residents and visitors". Open Noosa editor Bettina Walton set up a Cycling Bubble Map where residents can post images of trouble spots on the cycling network. Residents are invited to upload to the Bubble Map. Cycle Noosa will evaluate the findings and provide a plan to Noosa Council and Noosa MP Sandy Bolton for considerations. To add to the map visit https:// opennoosa.org/cyclenoosa/ â—?

SOCIAL SCENE
A ‘SOUPER’ RAINY DAY BY ABBEY CANNAN On a rainy day perfect for soup, over 70 guests attended the Noosa Arts and Crafts 'Souper' lunch at the Wallace House to raise funds for upgrades to their pottery kiln. Proving just how much use the Noosa Arts and Crafts ceramics group get out of their pottery kiln, all 70 guests had their soup served in one-of-a-kind ceramic bowls handmade by the group. Held on Tuesday 25 June, guest speaker Dr Irene Rogers gave a heart-warming talk about the strength of Australian nurses during the war. The talk focused on the impact of the Australian Bluebird nurses, which Dr Rogers wrote a PhD thesis about called Breaking Bread with the dead: the Australian Bluebird nurses of WW1. Dr Rogers also discussed her time working for many years as a humanitarian nurse in areas of conflict and post conflict. Noosa Arts and Crafts Club president Gabi Dick said it was a great turn out for the event. "It is a sold out event and it has been an absolute team effort to put this together," Gabi said. "Everyone has been busy, from the potters creating the bowls to the cooks making the three delicious soups." ●

It is 25 years since Gwen Blair approached local artists to start the Tinbeerwah Art Group (TAG) and she would have been a proud founder had she been at the gala opening of its annual art show last Friday at Tinbeerwah Hall. The 110 paintings on display further enhanced the group's reputation for quality work and sales were brisk on the night and throughout the weekend. Gwen passed away six years ago at Katie Rose Cottage and her friends in the art group still remember her and the work she did by each year donating a share of the art show proceeds to the hospice. This year Katie Rose will receive $1200. and the artists were thanked by Katie Rose Cottage board member, Les Godwin. Art show co-ordinator Jan Cooke spoke about the history of the art group and thanked this year's guest tutors Fiona Groom, Michele Knightley, Dale Leach and Pam Taylor. The People's Choice gift voucher donated by Highly Strung Picture Framing & Art Supplies was won by Avril Hare of Coolum and Janet Luttrell of Gympie won the Silver Anniversary People's Choice. Allison Belfiori, of Eerwah Vale won the "Hangers Prize" donated by Oxlades Art Supplies.

FOCUS ON …
Education
ST ANDREW’S TAKE ON YEAR 9 Year 9 at St Andrew's is a most exciting year that, based on research, has been purposefully designed to cover the themes of Academic, Service, Adventure, Independence, Environment/Culture and Enjoyment through a unique Connections Program which enables students to get out of the classroom and into the world. The Connections Program is an integral part of St Andrew's Year 9 curriculum which sees students embark on week-long, off-campus academic experiences exploring Brisbane, Melbourne, and Stradbroke Island. Costs are incorporated into the school fee structure so there are no additional fees for the trips. St Andrew's teacher, Jonathan Harding, said the timing of the Connections Program is strategic and helps students maintain their focus and interest for the whole year. "The cohort is split into three groups, travelling to either Melbourne, Brisbane or North Stradbroke Island for a week-long experience and then rotating to another location in Terms 2 and
3," Mr Harding explained. "Each experience presents students with real-world problems to examine and explore." From assisting with a soup van for the homeless in Melbourne to hearing presentations by Indigenous Elders on Stradbroke Island, the trips are all about collaborating in small groups and exhibiting a high level of personal responsibility which sows seeds for the future. The multicultural experience is further enhanced on the North Stradbroke Island trip where students listen to presentations by Indigenous Elders from the
Quandamooka People. "Students are presented with questions and topics of discussion on unfamiliar situations which enables them to think about complex ideas such as beliefs, values, culture, politics and the economy," Mr Harding said. The trips are also a perfect opportunity for Year 9's to leave their bubble and try new things in unfamiliar environments. Students complete projects based on their research and present to parents at the End of Year Expo. Parents often comment that the trips were lifechanging for their child.
"The Year 9 program is wellbalanced and maintains the rigor of a traditional academic course with the engagement of a 21st century learning structure," Mr Harding said. "By giving Year 9 students opportunities to employ higher order thinking skills, we begin to prepare them for workplace and tertiary institutions in a time of delicate adolescent growth. Our students often look back on their Year 9 Connections experiences and consider them a highlight of their Secondary years." ●

JUST A PLAYGROUND What’s all this fuss about the planned Cooroy adventure playground and the misbelief by some grumble bums about a lack of consultation? There has been plenty of consultation as our Mayor Tony Wellington recently outlined in the local news. So what is the big deal? This is a playground for the local children and plenty of parking has been allocated. It has been planned for a long time and adequate consultation has taken place. This needs to be kept in some perspective in comparison to some of the other local issues, doesn’t it? This is just a playground, right? Everyone in the area with young children I’ve spoken to are super excited, but then again I suppose in every community you’ll have your grumblers. Steve Anschutz, Cooroy
VISITING HOURS Mayor Tony Wellington claims that recent media reports on council’s desire to regulate visitor access to key destinations such as Noosa Main Beach are a 'media beat-up’ and that there are no plans to put up stop signs or impose limitations on parking for day-trippers. If the mayor has been quoted accurately, he - and by implication, council as a whole - does not want a drive-in market clogging the streets and creating parking problems, but would prefer that future emphasis was on the high-end tourism market, those who stay here longer and spend more. There are a few obvious questions as to the implementation of such a policy. Not least is the issue of where many of the current visitors as well as Noosa residents come from. If a survey were conducted of recently arrived residents, I suspect that many of them are former 'day-trippers’ 'backpackers’ and budget family holiday takers. Not too many would fall into the high-end tourism category. Is the idea of rationing access by affordability an acceptable one for most people?
LENSCAPE
Local artist Jane Welsh painted this thought-provoking piece titled 'Coal Lobby fail to see the elephant'. Jane said, "the piece shows coal loving politicians, coal miners and coal lobbyists laughing at Scott Morrison bringing coal into parliament. The elephant in the room could be the climate crisis, the world moving away from thermal coal, or simply greed. I painted this in response to the recent documentary by Greenpeace and journalist Michael West called 'Dirty Power' that reveals the behind-the-scenes grip of miners and industry groups over our government." If you have a Lenscape please email to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au. As to the evident traffic problems especially at peak holiday times in the Hastings Street precinct and surrounds, which include the Noosa National Park, the answer is one which resident surveys have regularly demonstrated - the creation of a pedestrian/cycle precinct around Hastings Street with only authorised vehicle access at certain specified times. As Mayor Wellington points out, we need to take action before traffic congestion as well as over-visitation become a major point of dissension with residents, as is already the case with destinations like Barcelona and Venice. That action also needs to be fair to all users as well as demonstrating the ethic of low-impact sustainable tourism, which is the key to Noosa’s success as an international destination.

I have another gadget that guarantees to eliminate ions from the air and prevents the electromagnetic radiation from the wiring in your walls from creating health issues.

Most marvelously, I don’t make a cent on any of these sales. All profits go to charity. Steve Hall, Cooroy
THE NEED FOR VISION Despite a huge backlash for council’s proposed new town plan overlays aimed at restricting short term letting, it seems Mayor Wellington has a new ploy to curb Noosa’s tourism; he would prefer big spenders to day trippers but surely he realises there will be an influx of SE Asian tourists and hence more congestion. Though his comments are elitist and inappropriate some of his strategies also appear unworkable - eg traffic, transport and parking. Noosa needs a council with vision, one who can maintain and improve infrastructure, one who can manage tourism and promote a sustainable future. John Lobb, Peregian Springs noosatoday.com.au

WHAT’S ON NEW PRODUCER SETS NOOSA ALIVE The Noosa Alive Festival kicks off on 19 July for 10 days of art and entertainment and this year there is a new team at the helm. Noosa Today had a chat with festival producer Tim Loydell to find out more about the man behind the festival and what it has to offer this year. How did you and the Deckchairs get together? The Deckchairs was the first band I got together after studying music at university. We were a folk jam band made up of country kids who met up in the city and enjoyed getting nerdy about chord progressions and poly rhythms! We were really fortunate to find a niche in the industry which allowed us to tour around for a number of years. It was a solid foundation for a number of other musical projects which various members of the group have gone on to be a part of. What led you from being in a band to being involved in slam poetry and spoken word events? Once I decided to take a break from performing and touring, I guess I had to assess my life skills and assets which, aside
Tim Loydell from being a musician, included being able to drive long distances without sleep and a little black book of industry contacts. I started promoting and managing Australian tours for some of the international artists I had long admired and as part of this, I was introduced to the wide and wonderful world of writers and poets. How and why did you get involved in Noosa Alive? As a professional project, NOOSA alive! is a very exciting event. An arts festival with such a rich history across a broad spectrum of performing arts, literature and
more, in such a unique natural destination is a rare occurrence - even globally. It's a true testament to the commitment and passion of local communities and previous festival teams. For me, NOOSA alive! represents a phenomenal opportunity to engage closely across the various art forms and performance spaces which I am passionate about. When I was approached by the committee to strategise a forward focused vision for the event I was more than happy to take up the challenge. What's it been like working with a new team in the festival? For me it's been great - I wonder what they would say! Having only come on in January this year, it was a case of hitting the ground running. There's been a lot to pick up along the way, particularly since a festival this deeply rooted in community has such extensive networks and relationships. I am incredibly grateful for the depth of experience in staff, such as long-time production manager Guy Harrison, who have been able to shed light on many of the logistical nuances of such a large event.
As producer of Noosa Alive what direction do you see the festival heading? NOOSA alive! deserves its significant reputation, both nationally and abroad, for its unique position as a boutique performing arts festival offering the highest quality of experience for both local and visiting audiences. I would like to see the festival embrace its natural heritage and work with Council and community to activate a broader range of public performance spaces and encourage attendees to experience Noosa in a new and exciting way. In terms of programming, there is so much exciting new work across a range of art forms that I would love to see visit the region and I think NOOSA alive! can be at the forefront of programming new works. The festival is prime to be a nurturing ground and stepping stone for our own local development of productions and talent, and I look forward to the day when the festival showcases a dedicated First Nations program curated in close collaboration with creatives of the local Gubbi Gubbi/Kabi Kabi nation. ●

The Rococo's Bar and Bistro Noosa Tigers have outlasted a very dogged and gallant Caloundra in front of a big crowd at Noosa Village Autos Oval last Saturday night. In a game where the Tigers always looked to be in control the lead never ventured further than 15 points as the well drilled Panthers outfit continued to apply senior footy pressure. After over 120 mm of rain earlier in the week a quagmire was expected however the Noosa Village Autos Oval held up extremely well. Whilst it was still heavy going the skill level of both sides was terrific. 'They are hard to beat Caloundra at any time' said assistant coach Craig Horwood. 'They just continually put the pressure on and seem really enthusiastic out there which is great. Our boys were good, got the job done and needed a good test like that one coming into the next month.' Plenty of good players for the victors with dual club champion Nick Hill a standout and along with
Cubby Isles and Mav Pettigrove relished the heavier going to dominate through the middle and also up forward. Jayden Holt's skills were sublime once again as he continues a very good year whilst footy manager Mitch Woods was again among the Tigers best. Buntain controlled his area down back to be a prominent player on the ground with team leader Harry Maher picking up heaps of quality touches in a really good performance. Up forward the presence of Ryan Jeffery was more than noticeable which is a handy sign heading towards finals. Also the debut of 16 year old Charlie Bowes could not go unnoticed and he certainly did not look out of place. Great stuff Charlie! Of course even a bigger stage this Saturday at Noosa Village Autos Oval as we take on the second placed arch enemies Maroochydore on Sponsors Day - one that should not be missed. A big thank you to Geelong champion Barry Stoneham who entertained us all at the President's Dinner which did not disappoint. ●
STUDY FINDS COACHES FRUSTRATED, ISOLATED Rugby union coaches in rural and regional areas may feel isolated and disenfranchised from their sport's governing bodies, according to new research by a USC sports academic. USC Lecturer in Sports Studies Dave Robinson presented the preliminary findings of his doctoral research at the World Congress on Science and Football in Melbourne last month. Mr Robinson, who is investigating the challenges faced by regionally-based volunteer rugby union coaches in Queensland, said participants in the study were also frustrated by limited access to coach development opportunities and technical resources. With a recent Roy Morgan survey finding a 63 percent drop in nationwide participation of rugby union since 2001, Mr Robinson said it was important that rugby union's governing bodies paid attention to the game's grassroots. "My research appears to indicate these coaches are concerned that the governing bodies may be more focussed on building pathways for elite players than with developing the grassroots," he said. "They feel that the challenges associated with coaching in regional
USC Lecturer in Sports Studies Dave Robinson. areas are not appreciated by those administrators based in the southeast corner of the state and that their concerns are not being heard." The former coach of Queensland's Combined Secondary Schools Rugby Union team said committed and skilled sports coaches were essential to the viability of sport in regional communities. "This research aims to gain important insights into the complexities of coaching outside of capital and major cities, by exploring coaches' lives, challenges, motivations and successes," he said. "The experiences of these coaches may serve to alert their sport's governing bodies." ● noosatoday.com.au
LIFE OF BRINE
PHIL JARRATT
FEBRUARY IN JUNE - IT’S ALIVE Even when it started to appear on the swell charts about a week out, I didn't really believe it. If we get swell in mid-winter it's usually from the south and most of it sails right past the points and across the bay. But last week's swell event came right on cue, and suddenly it was February in June! First came the rain - buckets of it - and then out of the gloom little lines began to appear midweek. By Thursday it was pumping, and then it jumped again for Friday, and again on Monday. A shocking sweep to contend with on the lower tides, and a bit lumpy and bumpy on the surface at times, but some real diamonds in the rough. And this was no solitary low, sneaking around the corner of a Pacific island group. As swell forecaster Ben Matson noted on Friday: "It's a very slow-moving system, and expected to meander within our swell window for quite a lengthy time. This will prolong the plateau of the event, and its long tail is expected to persist through until next weekend thanks to a stationary fetch holding steady to the southeast of Fiji through much of next week." I'm writing this on Monday, but this means that it'll still be pumping today, and on into the weekend! Give my crook back and spaghetti paddling arms strength!
angry and terrified." Not that Alan Jones can be considered a conventional Christian. Way back in the mists of time I worked for him, helping him concoct a book (never published) that described in torturous detail how he and he alone - never mind the bloody Ella brothers - directed the historic Wallabies Grand Slam of 1984. I'm not sure if profanity is a mortal sin, but after the vivid blue tongue-lashings I got during every pointless hissy fit, I ran out the door of Jonesy's hell-hole in the old Employer's Federation in Sussex Street, never to return. But back to Issy, and David Marr, who continued: "The madness is dialled up to the max. But I've been reporting faith and politics in Australia for nearly 40 years and I've seen all this before: militant Christians all over the shop, blind to their arrogance and contradictions." Now as much as I admire David and his significant body of work, this is nearly as whacky as the fire and brimstone mob that Issy follows. What has struck me about this highly emotional debate is the common decency of the approach

to human sexuality that lead to increased rates of youth suicide, is being called out as self-indulgent and trivialises the plight of those who are genuinely threatened for holding to their faith." Meanwhile, at least the silks are happy as Issy trots off to court to fight the good fight with $2 million stumped up by well-meaning folk who think that freedom to vilify should be a two-way street. Not that I'm taking Rugby Australia's side in this. If their punishment had fit the crime, rather than the absurd overkill of a life sentence, then maybe this expensive mess wouldn't be happening. ●

An epic swell event in the middle of winter is pretty strange, but I suppose in a week when radio shock jock Alan Jones comes out (so to speak) in favour of both Israel Folau's vilification of gays and the legalisation of all recreational drugs, including ice, just about anything can happen. "Pity these Christians," wrote David Marr in The Guardian. "They're lashing out,

taken by some of the true leaders of the Christian faith in this country. I was inspired to seek out what other leaders were saying when driving home from the surf I heard the Very Reverend Dr Keith Ronald Joseph, the Anglican bishop of North Queensland being interviewed on ABC radio. An outspoken supporter of same-sex marriage, the 69-yearold cleric argued persuasively that Israel Folau would better serve his faith by showing compassion, and that his own interpretation of the scriptures did not consign gays to hell and damnation. In fact, he said, many Christians define hell as an everlasting life without a god, rather than a cave full of red hot coals. And he wasn't alone in preaching moderation. The Very Reverend Dr Peter Catt, Dean of St John's, Brisbane, told the Nine media: "Religious persecution is a very serious matter, a matter of life and death for many Christians and people of other faiths throughout the world. To align oneself with them, because one's teaching about women being subservient to men or the proclamation of approaches

BUSY TIME FOR IMPACT BOXING For Cooroy's Impact Boxing Academy it is certainly a busy season. At the recent Australian Amateur Boxing Championships, held in Melbourne, the Queensland team, consisting of 17 athletes (11men and 6 women) was under the care of Mark Evans, owner/ coach of Impact Academy. Travelling to the titles as Queensland Team Manager and Head Coach, Evans said, "It was a good tournament well organized and with good crowds. Our team came home with a total of 3 gold and 1 silver medal in the men's section, and 2 gold and I silver in the women's a total of 7 medals. For a tournament with such high standard, our results were fairly good." Apart from the medal tally in the team of 11 there were 5 from the Impact Club, the most ever from the one club to represent. Of these Ella Boot and Taylah Robinson made the finals, with Ella Boot winning the silver medal in the 55kg division. "For Ella it was a tough fight as she was up against the current Commonwealth Games gold medalist," said Evans, "but she went well and just lost on a close decision."
Taylah Robinson Taylah, boxing in the 51kg division, won the gold medal in a convincing fashion. Add to this at the completion of the tournament Taylah received the very prestigious Best Elite Female Boxer of the Tournament. "To win both the Australian Championship and the
Best Elite Female Award is truly an outstanding effort," said Coach Evans. At 19 years of age Taylah is definitely an athlete to watch. To date she has won five Australian championships, a bronze at the recent Commonwealth Games and the gold at the Spanish International Tournament in Europe, where she boxed as a member of the Australian team. Her next international will be (again as a member of the Australian team) the World Amateur Championships to be held in October this year in Ulan-Ude, Russia: on present form a medal at the Tokyo Olympics would not be beyond her capabilities. The next major tournament for the Impact team will be in Auckland New Zealand July 6. Our team (7 male 3 female) will box against a team of select Kiwis. Amongst our girls is 14 year old Paige Robinson, who has a record of 17 fights for 14 wins. Despite her youth this will be her third International Tournament. We wish them well. If anyone should stand up and take a bow in our local sporting community it would have to be the

Dolphins Rugby Union Club. On July 10 during school holidays at Dolphin Oval, from 9am till 2pm, they will be running a Rookies 2 Reds rugby clinic, ''tailored towards the U7-U12 age group.'' In a club document it states that the basic skills of passing, running and tackling will be covered with particular emphasis on tackling. When watching the body contact codes it is quite apparent that (in some clubs) very little emphases is placed on teaching, 'the art of the tackle,' so to see it not only mentioned but also emphasised by the Dolphins is a step in the right direction. The health of players is of the utmost concern At sign on they will receive a Reds pack (hat, ball, air pump) plus a family pass to watch the Reds in 2019-all for just $6o. Sign up online at www.rookies2reds.com.au This Saturday at the Dolphin Oval will be a true festivity for the club. Not only will the Dolphins be playing Nudgee College and Caloundra, but they will also host a reunion of two of their great teams, the premiers of 1989 and 1999. Definitely an occasion to attend. ●

RAIN AND SWELLS CHANGE THE CONDITIONS With 20 knot winds and 2m swell, the offshore crew were put on hold. At the start of the week a few boats crossed the bar and fished the local reefs of Sunshine and North reef. The usual catches included snapper upwards of 70cm, small pearlies, sweetlip and tuskies. The big Spanish have just about left and there are small sized tuna around the headlands and inner reefs of Halls and Stingrays. Take a look at getting smaller slugs into these smaller fish as there is every possibility of a larger fish just under them. With the rains the inshore reefs should see some great action, so break out the soft plastics and prawn profile plastics and work the lower cleaner water column. The Noosa River will have changed from all the rain so stay in the lower areas unless catfish are your target. With the water clarity being poor this is the time to use lures with heavy vibration and add a bit of extra weight to your jigheads. This ensures your plastics will stay noosatoday.com.au
Dave Langan with some bass. in the lower cleaner water and gives fish a chance to see them. Soft vibes and metal blades are a must with the trevally and flathead. The new moon on Wednesday should see the fishing start to fire up, especially around Sunday so work your spot with a range of lures, plastics and baits. Flathead are still
present and most likely to be found during the run out tide on sand flats like the area around the dog beach sand bags. The early morning high tides would be a great time to chase trevally and tailor on surface so use them to your advantage this week. These bigger incoming tides often
see the trevally pushing the bait into tight balls before taking them down. Medium sized walkers and poppers worked with speed work very well during this time. Be sure to run a heavier leader as the tailor are in the mix. Focus your attentions around Munna Bridge, Woods Bay and Munna Point and along Gympie Terrace. The freshwater temperatures have dropped and a lot of the local dams have reached 100% capacity or very close to it. This influx of cooler water will see the bass sit deeper and they may even start to school up so look around the dam walls. Use heavier weighted soft plastics in grub and curly tail style and use a slow retrieve through the schools once you have sounded them up. Be sure to use plenty of scent and give the fish a chance to take hold before setting hooks. So on behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures! ●
