THIS WEEK WE’RE TALKING ABOUT…
MANY RESCUED IN BIG SEAS BY RON LANE With big seas once again hitting the Queensland coast last week lifeguards have been kept busy on Noosas Main Beach, with some 60 plus rescues being performed. On two successive days lifeguards performed 55 rescues with 20 on the first day and another 35 the on the second. "These were two of the worst days we have had for a long time,'' said senior lifeguard Adam McKane. "There have been times when we had to take the flagged area right to the middle of Main Beach, as the sweep was taking the inexperienced board paddlers into the normal flagged area. We always do what we think is best and safest for our swimmers and by moving flags to the center of Main Beach it enables us to keep the beach open to the public." However one thing that is still of major concern to the patrols, is parent lack of responsibility. "They should accept the fact that when their children are in the water they should be no further away than arm's length," said a lifeguard. "Even though they are between the flags they still have to be diligent. "There is a condition that we refer to as a flash rip. This is a rip that comes up very quickly, sort of out of nowhere and will suddenly drag a swimmer or group of swimmers out 30/40 meters and if children are caught in one of these it is not just frightening but also extremely dangerous. That is why we say to parents, swim with your children and be no further than an arm's length away."
Keaton Grandemange hands out advice.
First aid duties. One thing of which we can be certain is that Main Beach is patrolled by lifeguards that are amongst the finest. Last weekend Main Beach was under the control of senior lifeguard Adam McKane a man with some 26-years-experience in both surf lifesaving and ski competition at the highest level. Then there was Keaton Grandemange who at 27 started as a 10-year-old nipper. Apart from his beach work, Keaton is also a member of the elite 24-hour emergency call-out group; a group of which his father Chris (a senior veteran twice decorated) is also a member. The third member of this
Holiday crowd on Main Beach. roster was Lachie Lansdown and at 24 is the "baby" of the team. Lachie, like Keaton, started as a young nipper and when not working as a lifeguard spends his time competing in such international endurance events as the Molokai 53 km ski race in Hawaii. But lifeguarding is not just about rescue work, for on occasions there are always some heavy first aid jobs that require their skills. There were two cases recently that required their attention until the arrival of the paramedics. One was a young man that received incredible facial injuries after being slammed face first on
to a sandbank by a dumper and the second a middle aged woman who collapsed after being stung by a very deadly stone fish; causing pain that the lady said "was worse than child birth". So remember next time you pass a lifeguard on the beach give him or her a smile and a nod of the head: your life may soon be in their hands. Statistics contained in the Noosa Heads/Peregian SLSC Annual Report for 2018/19, tell us that a total of 270 male and 170 female members contributed an outstanding total 15,495 member patrolling hours (all members are volunteers ) a truly outstanding effort. ●
NOOSA SET TO DECLARE CLIMATE EMERGENCY Noosa Council officers, having determined state and federal governments have done too little to respond effectively to global warming, are advising Council to declare Noosa is in a "Climate Emergency" and take action to set safe climate targets, implement programs and lobby other governments to follow suit. A report prepared by Council's Director Environment and Sustainable Development, Carbon Reduction officer and Climate Change Adaptation Program Coordinator was included in Council meetings this week and a request made to Councillors to endorse the following statement: "Council accepts the latest science on climate change provided in the October 2018 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and acknowledges noosatoday.com.au
that the Noosa Shire is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change including heat waves, more intense storms and sea level rise all of which is likely to adversely affect the Noosa natural and human environment. Council therefore declares that we are in a 'Climate Emergency" which requires urgent action by all levels of government". The 2018 IPCC 'Special Report of Global Warming of 1.5C, prepared by 91 authors from 40 countries, cites more than 6000 scientific references with contributions from thousands of expert and
government reviewers worldwide. The report outlines the impacts of global warming of 1.5C above pre-industrial levels predicted from 2030-2052 which include a climate system that will become increasingly unstable, resulting in more frequent land and marine heatwaves, increased frequency and intensity of rainfall events and increased risk and duration of droughts. It found reducing the risk required reaching net zero emissions by 2050 and the solutions were available and technologically and economically feasible. Noosa Council is not the first to declare a climate emergency with 627 National and Subnational Governments including the Canadian Government, Republic of Ireland and Auckland City Council (NZ) having made previous declarations along with 24 Australian governments
including the ACT, Hobart City Council, Byron Shire Council and the City of Sydney. Noosa Council would be the first Queensland Council to take such action. Council officers argue the risk of not declaring a climate emergency is that successive State and Federal governments will continue to feel confident in producing policies that do not support Australia in meeting its Paris Agreements commitments. They say by declaring a climate emergency, Noosa's commitment to action on climate change is reaffirmed and it could lead to further business opportunities for entrepreneurs and businesses working on climate change solutions to set up in the region such as Earthtech at the Peregian Beach Digital Hub. ●

COVER STORY Halie Adams with her partner Mark and two sons Lachie and Cody.
FIGHT OF HER LIFE BY ABBEY CANNAN
ust six years after losing her mum to breast cancer at the age of 14, Sunshine Beach resident Halie Adams was the youngest women in Australia to be diagnosed with the disease herself. After a grueling two-year fight, where she underwent chemotherapy and a double mastectomy, Halie was given the all clear and miraculously beat the deadly disease. Since enduring more than most at such a young age, Halie has spent her life living courageously and has continued to appreciate how special each and every day is. As a now 40-year-old mother of two young boys, Halie was set to celebrate being in remission for 20 years as a survivor of breast cancer. That was, until her world came crashing down around her on Thursday 23 May when she was diagnosed with Stage Four, primarily ovarian, chest, liver and heart cancer.

Ovarian cancer is the eighth most common cancer affecting women in Australia. In 2015, 1365 new cases of ovarian cancer were diagnosed in Australian women. The risk of being diagnosed before the age of 85 is one in 85. In 2016, there were 938 deaths caused by ovarian cancer in Australia. Halie said that the diagnosis came as a massive shock after being in remission for 20 years. "Basically, I'm up for the fight of my life," Halie said. "I'm a very positive person and I believe I have the strength in me to do this again as I am a fighter. "I'm going to fight hard for my children and my partner." Halie said she initially thought that she might be pregnant again after feeling what she thought were symptoms, but once she had her menstrual cycle, she decided to visit the doctor. There is currently no screening for ovarian cancer available in Australia and the symptoms are
Thursday, 11 July, 2019
quite broad including; abdominal bloating, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, frequent or urgent urination, back, abdominal or pelvic pain, constipation or diarrhoea, menstrual irregularities, fatigue, indigestion, or unexplained weight loss or weight gain. These symptoms can be caused by other conditions but if you are experiencing any of these symptoms, contact your local doctor. "After having multiple scans, I got given the terrible news by my doctor," Halie said. "I've got my two little boys and my partner to fight for now." Halie has lived at Sunshine Beach with her family for six years now and has always loved to keep active; spending her days playing tennis with friends and jogging 10 kilometres whilst pushing a pram with her two boys inside. This is something she is very grateful for, as after undergoing chemotherapy at the age of 20,
Halie was told by doctors that it was unlikely she would be able to have children. Halie always wanted to have her own kids, and during her chemotherapy she had part of her ovary removed and frozen. "It's a miracle that I had my two boys naturally and I feel blessed," she said. "In a way, it really is a miracle that I had two boys, as if I had a baby girl, she would have carried the same gene that I had for breast cancer. "My favourite thing about being a mum is getting to love and nurture my two children." Halie has spent the past 15 years working in the disability field and just recently finished her nursing studies in aged care. "I chose to work in this field because I just love helping and caring for others," she said. Halie said she has been receiving amazing support from her family and the local community during this tough time. noosatoday.com.au
COVER STORY
Pictures: DAVE GLEESON - SURFSHOTS family a helping hand. Halie's friend Linda Harvey said that everyone who knows Halie loves her for her sense of humour, her positive attitude and as a great mum to her two beautiful young boys. "As a tight-knit community in Sunshine Beach we are all devastated that Halie is facing another battle with cancer a such a young age," Linda said. "We all want her to get well so she and Mark can continue bringing up their boys together. Mark and Halie are like any young couple, they don't
have a lot of money and are living week to week, so any financial help for Halie's medical expenses will be greatly appreciated by not only Halie and Mark, but everyone who knows, loves and supports her." Halie said that she really appreciates that people are donating as it will make a huge difference, although she just really wants to spread awareness. "I was about to do some work for breast cancer awareness, as it was my 20-years of remission, but that has all changed now," Halie said. "Women at any age, particularly
from 20 to 40 years of age should get checked out. "Your body is a temple, so look after it." Halie said a quote that resonates with her during this time is, "Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."

A VOICE OF FIRST PEOPLE Sunshine Coast man Paul Calcott represented three cultures when he spoke recently at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. A Wiradjuri man from central NSW, a member of the LGBTIQ community and having lived with polio since a toddler his presentation was on LGBTIQ First Nations people living with a disability and he used his own traditional art work to get his message across."It was huge to speak on behalf of our community and identify some of the issues," he said. In this Naidoc week Uncle Paul, as he is known, truly embodies this year's theme - Voice, treaty truth - let's work together for a shared future. Paul was 18 months-of-age in 1960 when he contracted polio, the only one of six kids in his family to do so. The infectious disease caused by a virus can in some people cause damage to the nerves that control muscle movement and in Paul's case it affected his legs. He wore splints on his legs and the disease led to muscle wasting. He now suffers post-polio syndrome
Uncle Paul Calcott which is a recurrence of symptoms several years (usually 30-40 years) after an initial episode and affecting the same muscle groups involved initially and he has mobility issues as a result.For the past 10 years Paul has worked with First Peoples' community on the Sunshine Coast who are living with disability, utilising traditional art and storytelling as a way of addressing social isolation and building resilience. He has coordinated 14 exhibitions showcasing art work by First
Peoples living with disability and organises the NuunaRon art group for indigenous artists living with a disability on the Sunshine Coast. An established Australian indigenous artist nationally and internationally his efforts have not only raised awareness to the wider community around the artistic and cultural contribution artists with disability can make to their community, but also assisted in economic participation by artists with disability.
Despite advocating for indigenous people with a disability through the First Peoples' disability service Paul only recently sought assistance for himself by joining the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). "I was quite fiercely independent and after working in the industry for so long, I was quite resilient. I had a strong support network around me and I was in the workforce, so I never really felt a need. And there were no real indigenous services, so I avoided it," he said. "But things have changed because I have polio and it is degenerative. We've learned from the others rolling out the NDIS. It seems to be a lot smoother accessing NDIS and it's been very respectful and culturally responsible. I love gardening. I'm finding it hard to get out in the garden. With NDIS funding I can have someone help me in the garden."

PACKED FAREWELL TO AN ICON BY RON LANE It was Monday morning approximately 10.30 and the chapel at Gregson and Weight Funeral Directors was full to capacity. The occasion was to bid a sad farewell to John Graham Little, a man who at 74 left us far too early after a long battle with cancer. The fact that the chapel was standing room only, was indeed an indication as to the character and respect of the man; for in the crowd were men and woman from all walks of life; business, political, medical, lifesaving, floral shirts and Seahorse Nippers. The service was officiated by Ian Miller and in attendance were his John's wife Mary-Lou Little, son David and other members of his family. It was indeed a service which a close friend described as being one which John would have approved; touching on his successful business life (in particular his New Guinea years and the Hasting St Association) his massive contribution to the local Prostate Cancer Foundation (formed in 2017), Noosa Triathlon, Seahorse Nippers and above all (in the world of surf lifesaving) his involvement and dedication to the Noosa Heads Lifesaving Supporter Club.
John Little's grandson Oscar reads a letter to his grandpa.
Stories were shared on John's full life. During the service, a poem written by his wife Mary- Lou, entitled Sipping Swallows, was read by her to the congregation; and following this tributes were made by close mates. It was during these that many serious and sometimes
Ian Miller officiates at the celebration of John Little whose favourite chair and other items spoke of his life.
funny tales were told, tales which all in attendance enjoyed; the laughter being a tribute to a great man who not only loved his family and mates but also lived life to the fullest. His outstanding contributions to our community were done in such
a quiet fashion, never seeking the limelight, that the respect that he received knew no boundaries. He was indeed a man amongst men. Vaya Con Dios old friend Vaya Con Dias. â—?
FLIGHT PATHS STILL UP IN THE AIR AFTER MEETING BY MARGARET MACCOLL It was a "very robust" discussion between a group of about 20 "very engaged" stakeholders that took place at a roundtable meeting held last Friday to discuss proposed Sunshine Coast Airport flight paths but was a "missed opportunity" by Flight Path Forum (FPF) to provide an alternative plan, according to Fairfax MP Ted O'Brien. Sunshine Coast Deputy Mayor Tim Dwyer said representatives of the FPF were asked repeatedly to table alternative flight path solutions so they could be discussed. However FPF president Maria Suarez said there was never an opportunity to present alternative flight paths because the only alternatives that "would have ever been considered were those that were submitted during the 2019 consultation period and fell within the constraints of the EIS (Environmental Impact Study)". Cr Dwyer said both Sunshine Coast Council (SCC) and ASA put forward alternative flight path options then outlined why they were not considered viable. "Airservices Australia made it clear this can be for a number of 8 NOOSA TODAY

reasons including safety, terrain, populated areas and the fact that the Sunshine Coast airspace is close to, and intersects with, the airspace and flight paths for the Brisbane Airport and Amberley Air Base," he said. A western route flight path alternative suggested in community feedback was also discounted because of terrain and its impact on airspace for the Brisbane basin, he said. Cr Dwyer accused Noosa Council of not representing the interests of its community saying former Noosa Mayor Noel Playford wrote to Sunshine Coast Council in November 2015 and advised that
Noosa Council would not be making submissions on the EIS but were encouraging the community to have their say on the proposal. However in April Noosa Council sent a submission to SCC calling for an extended consultation period and an independent EIS for residents of Lake Weyba, Noosa National Park and Castaway and Marcus beaches under the proposed flight paths. Mayor Tony Wellington said Council would continue to lobby for residents. Mr O'Brien, who initiated the meeting attended by state and federal MPs, Sunshine Coast and Noosa Mayors, ASA experts, FPF
Thursday, 11 July, 2019
representatives and the Aircraft Noise Ombudsman (as an observer), said it was a worthwhile opportunity to get all stakeholders around the table. Ms Suarez said the only benefit of the meeting was to be able to ask questions of all stakeholders at one time. One of the answers showed newly affected communities under the flight paths were not going to be assessed by the EIS, she said. FPF will pursue the flight path issue and fundraising to cover possible legal fees because "the community deserves better". She said the flight paths were still concepts until Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) approved them, there was still wriggle room to make changes and the ombudsman had yet to complete an investigation on the ASA process. "We hope ASA won't make a decision on pressure to meet deadlines by Sunshine Coast Council but make sure the community is properly consulted," she said. "We don't want ASA to add Sunshine Coast to their list of failings." â—? noosatoday.com.au

LOCAL BUSINESS WOMEN UNITE BY ABBEY CANNAN Over 30 local business women came together to network and showcase their products and services for the 'Women 2 Women' Business Expo at The J Noosa on Wednesday 3 July. Around 300 people attended the event, enjoying two free marketing workshops, a fashion show and great food.
Local mum Lysette Fazakerley was at the event with her recently launched business Noosa Soap Co. "I decided to attend this event because we just launched our business this year and we wanted to get our product out there," she said. "It's been good and it's great having my girls here, Kayla and Laura." ●

NEWS BUILDING A CAREER LOCALLY - IN ENGINEERING At 22, Georgia Kelly has a USC Honours degree in Civil Engineering and a plum role working on a new 40-hectare island precinct on the Sunshine Coast. The Tewantin woman, who is in the first generation of her family to graduate from university, is one of a succession of USC graduates offered career pathways locally by Hall Contracting, Australia's largest privately-owned dredging, civil and marine construction company Hall Contracting. "I'm on site every day at the Pelican Waters subdivision, helping manage the quality, budget, program and safety of the project," she said. "We're doing earthworks, underground services, retaining walls and roads. There's a bridge
Georgia Kelly coming up, a lock and weir too. I'm enjoying it." The Yiman/Gubbi Gubbi woman gained a job last year while she was researching alternative airport pavements for her Honours thesis. Ms Kelly attributed her success to
persistence, hard work, networking and the support of friends she made at university. Her favourite classes were soil mechanics and design of roads and drainage. "I came straight out of high school (Sunshine Beach State High
School) into a Paramedic Science degree at USC but after one semester I realised that wasn't me and I took six months off," she said. "I was working at a pharmacy and it was actually my boss who suggested engineering because I was technically-minded. I did some research and decided to study it." A highlight of her degree was spending two weeks in Laos on a New Colombo Plan mobility scholarship, helping the Free the Bears Fund to construct a new sanctuary. Hall Contracting CEO Cameron Hall said with so many talented young people living locally, they were proud to offer career pathways that enabled graduates to remain in the region and further develop their skills. ●

"Protecting corridors that allow wildlife to move between our large protected areas is essential for the survival of koalas and many other

species," Cr Stockwell said. "The land also contains significant wetlands, which provide important recharge areas for groundwater, helping to maintain the quality surface and groundwater flowing into the Noosa River". Council's Environment Levy funded the $395,000 land purchase. A second land parcel, Cooloothin Creek Bushland Reserve, has recently
been gazetted as a Nature Refuge. Council's Principal Environment Officer, Peter Milne, said that this land was purchased with the Environment Levy in 2015. "Having the reserve declared a Nature Refuge under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 provides additional protection for this unique 106 hectare land parcel on the Noosa River," Mr Milne said. ● noosatoday.com.au

BOATING FATALITIES AT LOW LEVEL Queensland has recorded its lowest number of recreational boating deaths in the past four years. The Sunshine Coast management area received 36 marine incidents reports involving 54 vessels - 51 Queensland regulated ships and three domestic commercial vessels. Nine people were injured in these 36 incidents including four who were admitted to hospital. The 2018 annual Marine Incident Report, prepared by Maritime Safety Queensland, was tabled in parliament
last week by Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey. "More than 261,000 recreational vessels are now registered in Queensland which is about one vessel for every 19 people," he said. "Last year we recorded six deaths from five marine incidents involving recreational vessels which was one less than last year." Mr Bailey said the report would be carefully analysed by Maritime Safety Queensland to identify areas where safety regulations and education
could be most effectively directed. "Unfortunately, we saw a sharp rise in incidents resulting in hospitalisations from 19 in 2017 to 36 last year," he said. Across Queensland, there were 342 reported incidents involving 465 vessels, which included 38 domestic commercial vehicles, 269 motorboats, 93 sailboats, 40 personal watercraft, 16 paddle boats and nine houseboats. The Gold Coast reported the most marine incidents with 83, followed by
Gladstone with 69, Brisbane with 53 and Townsville with 42. "In the broadest sense, the most important message we can give is for boat masters to ensure there are always enough lifejackets on board for everyone and everyone knows how to use them. The majority of these incidents occurred in smooth waters, clear weather, with good visibility and winds below 16 knots and most commonly occurred on the weekend and between 9am and 6pm. ●
STUDY FINDS ENVIRONMENTAL LINK TO WHALES The likelihood of humpback whales getting tangled in shark nets off southeast Queensland is higher when a major ocean current meanders closer to shore, USC research has found. The findings of the Science Honours study, to be presented to the Australian Marine Science Association conference in Fremantle from 7-11 July, could potentially be used to guide shark net monitoring with the aim of reducing the number of entanglements. June marked the start of the sixmonth season of humpback whale migration between Antarctica and the Queensland coastline. The USC research was conducted last year by Animal Ecology graduate Jessica Bolin for her Honours degree, in collaboration with supervisors Senior Lecturer in Animal Ecology Dr Kylie Scales and Professor of Global Change Ecology David Schoeman, and PhD student Carme Piza-Roca. Ms Bolin, 23, of Nambour, said the team used satellite data, an ocean model and a mathematical algorithm to plot the changing flow of the East Australian Current (EAC) off southeast Queensland every day between 2001 and 2017. The EAC is a warm water current that flows southward, roughly
Jessica Bolin and Dr Kylie Scales. parallel to the coastline from Fraser Island to northern New South Wales. The team then compared the data to the incidence of whale entanglements between Fraser Island the Qld-NSW border. "We found a higher likelihood of humpback entanglement in sharkcontrol nets when the inner edge of the EAC meandered closer to shore, and when the inner edge was mixed and messy on the ocean surface," Ms Bolin said. "This indicates that whales may be using this inner edge as a
navigation aid during their annual migrations along the Australian eastern seaboard." Dr Scales said the likelihood of accidental whale entanglement in shark nets in southeast Queensland was very low, with 58 incidents recorded in the research period. "It's lower than one percent chance, per shark net, per day, and the Queensland Shark Control Program strives to make sure this chance remains as low as possible," she said. "If the whales are using the EAC
as part of their navigation 'roadmap', as the findings suggest, this could be useful in helping to guide monitoring of the shark nets. "One example might be to increase monitoring when the current is closer to shore, which can be seen on freely available satellite data that shows sea surface temperatures." Ms Bolin is continuing her studies at USC with a PhD in Marine Science, investigating how the EAC and fisheries are adapting to rising sea temperatures as part of climate change. ●
HAVE YOUR SAY ON FISHING LAWS IN TWO WEEKS Queenslanders have another two weeks to have their say on proposed amendments to the Fisheries Regulation 2008. Fisheries Minister Mark Furner said the proposed changes were the result of a comprehensive consultation process over the past two years as part of the Sustainable Fisheries Strategy. "The changes focus on longterm sustainability and profitability, urgent actions to support key species, standardising fishing rules, supporting compliance and reducing 12 NOOSA TODAY

NEW IN THE MIX
A former Pomona resident who led the production of an award-winning book on the revolution of Nordic cuisine believes that indigenous ingredients could soon be at the centre of Australian gastronomy. Joshua Finzel conceived 'Nordic by Nature', which won Best Scandinavian Cookbook in World and was shortlisted for the Best in World category at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards held in Macau on 4 July. 'Nordic by Nature' contains more than 60 recipes from the top Nordic chefs - exponents of a culinary movement based on the principles of foraged indigenous ingredients, healthy produce and ethical production. The two-year production took Finzel from Copenhagen's cosmopolitan nooks to the icy Arctic Circle on traditional Greenlandic hunting expeditions.
KERBSIDE CLEAN UP PLAN
Finzel believes Australian cuisine is on a similar trajectory to what has occurred with Nordic cuisine, which is characterised by foraging trips, and geographical and seasonal limitations and possibilities. "My experiences in Greenland and with other indigenous cultures sparked ideas about how these principles make sense for the Australian way of life," he said. "Australia is becoming more aware of the diverse and sophisticated practices of our indigenous peoples and this will impact our cuisine too. "We always hear about super foods like Amazonian açaí and Peruvian quinoa, but we have plants foraged in Queensland for thousands of years that can rival them." 'Nordic by Nature' was produced by Finzel and his team at Borderless Co. and published by Gestalten. ●

Expands Team Behind the desk BY DAVID GARWOOD The Government is out to get you! Yes, as least as far as property matters are concerned. 1. There is a little known fact about the introduction of the GST and its effect on the individual state’s budgets. In 2005, Peter Costello the then Treasurer boldly said in Melbourne “The GST was introduced to abolish other taxes, You cannot keep the GST and the other taxes - you have the GST or the other taxes.”They had to abolish their state taxes in return for getting their share of the national GST pie. This was a big call, as Howard and Costello seemed to have forgotten the social and political implications of the GST on the staples of life and the big kickback from the voting public and other parties like the Democrats. The financial institutions duty, bank accounts debits tax, NSW accommodation tax and of course the big ones - conveyancing duties, and a range of other stamp duties on leases, mortgages, sales of shares, cheques and credit arrangements. All other taxes were to go as well as stamp duty on the sale of property. Some did go, but it is a truism that the property market pays for the health services. The reason the states have not changed their taxation base is they can’t afford to. Who is going to have the political nerve to change this? Most has conveniently been forgotten.
Welcome Melanie Primmer David and Theodora Garwood welcomed the lovely Melanie Primmer into their real estate group last week with big smiles. The Garwoods are proactive in hiring new staff who want to work independently but associate themselves with a brand name that is growing in reputation and results. Garwoods recently sold 15/2 Banksia Avenue, Noosa Heads, a 2 bedroom unrenovated for a top price and received multiple offers this week on a prime Hilton Terrace development. Melanie joins Garwoods after more than 12 years in the industry, and has an impressive sales record, recently having sold a 3 bedroom apartment in the Outrigger. If you want sales stats please phone us anytime and if you are interested to know what your home is worth, call the team whose attitude is, nothing is too hard!
22.72% of the state’s entire taxation revenue stream is from Stamp Duty, and 9.3% from Land Tax!! The health budget for this year is $19.233 billion. Where would that leave us if stamp duty was abolished? Current projections estimate that the revenue from Stamp Duty this year will drop by around $1.32 billion! 2. Another leg of my thoughts, is the blocking of the loophole being exploited by overseas property investors as sellers export their capital gains and not paying tax on them. As of July 1 2017, for “overseas entities”, a person who is not resident in Australia, for any sale over $750,000, unless that person has obtained from the ATO a Clearance Certificate (meaning that they are resident in Australia and pay tax here), the buyer’s solicitor is required to remit 12.5% of the total price to the ATO. Imagine you are an Australian resident and failed to obtain this exemption, the potential effect on paying out your mortgage for example? 3 Another is to plug the leak being exercised by property developers, where they receive GST as part of the cost of new residential land or apartment developments. Some developers have claimed all the GST they paid as a part of the cost of creating the development in their quarterly BAS statements, and received cash credits. However, once the development is sold and they have the cash GST from the purchasers, they fold the company and disappear. So now, from July 1 2018, the purchaser needs to apportion the GST from the total cost of the property they are buying, and remit it directly to the ATO.

TALL TREES INSPIRE ARTISTS BY MARGARET MACCOLL The picture postcard town of Cooran was in full creative flourish on the weekend as artists and enthusiasts mingled and inspired for the annual Tall Trees event. The sight of Charmain Meehan's colourful cow at the town's entry was an indication of more to come and visitors would not have been disappointed with the amazing diversity and array of art displayed at venues up and down the main street.Event organiser Mia Hacker said it was an "awesome" weekend where people took the time to walk the town with friends and family and have conversations inspired by the art. Lots of artwork was sold over the weekend and the exhibitions provided a venue for artists to leap into future projects. Mia said an art exhibition in Brisbane's CBD and another at the Queensland Museum and Art Gallery were just two of the projects to result from Tall Trees. She praised the efforts of the many volunteers and all the businesses that come together to make the event happen each year. â—?

A JOURNEY THAT DEEPENS Noosa local Albertina Banks has been an Indonesian language and culture teacher since the mid 1990's and she is now taking small groups to North Sumatra three times a year for an adventure that contributes to the ecological and cultural preservation of the UNESCO region. Albertina said she takes people on a journey that truly deepens the soul with interesting eco-culture experiences. "Together with the region's unique pristine tropical rainforests that essentially sustain these
amazing primates (Orangutans), as well as many other unique species, importantly in order to prevent their extinction, eco culture tourism contributes significantly to their preservation," she said. "Not only does it enable local communities to gain adequate income to support their families but also enables them to play a very important role in the conservation of a 'global common heritage' that every single person in the world has a right to." The 13 day tour also includes
Berastagi, a vibrant agricultural town straddled by two volcanoes, 1500 meters above sea level. A short trek to the summit of dormant Mt. Sibayak, followed by bathing in hot spring pools, a visit to a volcanologist monitoring station of the active Mt. Sinabung and a traditional Karo culture long house.

SARCASM AND HUMOUR Dear Steve Hall, You mustn’t feel bad about your inability to understand the difference between sarcasm, silliness and humour. There are other people who don’t either. For an example of brilliant laughout-loud humour I refer you to a letter which was in one of our local newspapers almost exactly a year ago entitled 'Kermit is spot on'. I honestly wouldn’t mind being in the firing line of such superb wit. However if you have a few minutes to spare from your creative writing, I suggest you go to You Tube and type in 5G Dragnet. James Corbett. Elizabeth Cameron, Tewantin
CORRECTION In the article, Job well done by community (P6, NT 11/7) the statement “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 ... .” should have read: “The charity is also indebted to local member for Noosa Sandy Bolton MP, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes for many months, to assist the charity in accessing the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) TEC Program which supports eligible charities that are required to perform works on state transport infrastructure as part of a development approval.” Apologies for the error.
ANIMALS DON’T PERFORM BY CHOICE I was both disturbed and concerned to read the “Life’s a Circus” article quote by John Le Mare, “there’s a SMALL feeling in the community that it’s not an appropriate place for animals”, and reference to “a lot of unfair criticism”. Governments in over 30 countries have already banned the use of exotic or all animals in circuses based on animal suffering. Currently, the ACT is the only Australian state

behaviours, while at the same time being separated from their social groups. · The RSPCA Qld and Animal Liberation Qld are opposed to the use of animals in circuses. You don’t really think the animals perform because they love entertaining you, surely? Oh no, these poor animals are trained, usually from an extremely young age, by animal trainers using notoriously cruel bullhooks, whips, tight collars, electric prods and are often medicated to force them to perform. Food and water deprivation is another source of breaking spirit and forcing into submission. Elephants in particular suffer greatly. There are laws in some countries that are supposed to protect animals in travelling shows but they are often inadequate and sometimes poorly enforced. More progressive circuses perform very successfully without animals and dazzle their audiences with skilled human performing while kids always love the antics of the clowns.

An online poll conducted by Noosa Today last week asked: Should the number of daytrippers be restricted in Noosa. The results: 67% no, 33% yes Comments included: YES But how. Closing Hastings Street to traffic in holiday periods would be a good start and is attainable. Chris McDonnell YES In Europe tourism is restricted by keeping parking and access limited. Di Conley YES Not sure how this will be done but yes something needs to be done. The over influx of tourists to Noosa is chocking us and with the amount of rubbish and damages they cause to the environment is irreversible. Daniel Ravest NO Daytrippers are what gives the sales to the traders on Hastings Street. Peter Hansen NO Noosas economy is dependant on tourism - the suggestion it's restricted in naive and arrogant.

The Sunny Coast Rude Boys are an eight piece soundwave playing uplifting ska and reggae, and drawing on musical influences that have shaped this genre from the Jamaican movement through to UK Two Tone. The 'Rudies' demonstrate a unique vision with the exuberance and freewheeling colour of contemporary Ska with band members from as far as Barbados, Trinidad, Ireland, Lebanon, and Australia. The band has crafted their sound with unexpected arrangements and seductive harmonies, of powerful horns and foot-stomping drums. The Rudies have shared the stage with Bad Manners, Nicky Bomba, Strange Tenants, The Original Wailers as well as headlining at Island Vibe Festival, Blues on Broadbeach, Caloundra Music
Local artists Gabi Dick and Tricia Bradford.

HAVE AN EVENING WITH JACK A member of the Stolen Generation, Jack Charles was taken from his family as a youngster and raised in a boys' home where he was abused. Now in his 70s, the treasured actor will share this and other heartbreaking stories, when he launches his memoir, Jack Charles: Born-Again Blakfella, at The J in Noosa. Presented by Noosa Library Service, the event will leave audiences both devastated and uplifted, says Library Programs Officer Liz Bleechmore. "Many of us are familiar with Jack Charles the actor, but few would
Jack Charles have heard the story of Jack Charles the cat burglar. This is a chance to hear an incredible life story." In his candid memoir, Charles reveals how assimilation robbed
him of his Aboriginality and how loneliness and isolation saw him turn to drugs as a youngster. His own experience being incarcerated 22 times is something he now draws on in his quest to help keep Indigenous youth out of detention centres. "I will never forget how reconnecting to my culture helped me find my true path. I saw the blak light and, within that, saw my own presence," Charles said. He is a passionate advocate for indigenous youth, was named the 2016 Victorian Senior Australian of the Year and is one of Australia's
best-known personalities, but for Charles, it's his role as an Aboriginal Elder for which he is most proud. On the cusp of his 76th birthday, he'll be joined in conversation with Annie Gaffney from ABC Sunshine Coast to recount his memoir at The J Noosa at 6.30pm on Wednesday 21 August.

MATHS TUTORING Gael has a passion for mathematics education. It is based on her belief that all students understand all maths concepts as long as they can be explained in a way that the student understands. This usually imparts confidence which is key to success. Gael is less concerned with an answer and more with the thinking that underpins that answer. Gael likes to use real life examples to help the student see the connection between mathematical theory and its worldly application. She also highlights the bigger picture to help students see how different concepts are linked. Gael has taught students in Australia, US, and England spanning all abilities from students with learning difficulties to profoundly gifted students.

GAIN GREEN FINGERS HERE There will be plenty of hands-on fun for kids these school holidays at the Queensland Garden Expo to be held at the Nambour Showgrounds from 12-14 July. Kids aged fifteen and under enter the expo for free, and with a large variety of free activities scheduled across the three days of the show, kids will certainly be kept amused. Event Manager Marion Beazley said that in addition to show favourites such as the Kids Garden Patch, giant playground and a range of engaging presentations on many of the eight speaker stages, there will be a new addition to the expo just for kids. "We're excited to be offering 'make your own' mini fairy garden or ninja garden workshops on our Saturday and Sunday program this year and we're sure the kids will love it," she said. "Of course, our popular and free giant playground will once again be part of the expo, so kids can enjoy the giant slide, jumping pillow and merry-go-round." There'll be plenty of garden themed craft in the Kids Area, the Bli Bli State School Courage Garden and for something a bit different, the Nambour Lapidary Club will have their fossicking cart at their stand each day, where kids can dig for just

SUNSHINE COAST’S MS SWIMATHON BACK ON Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Queensland's MS Swimathon is back on the Sunshine Coast this year, where teams of swimmers sponsored by friends will swim in a 12-hour relay to raise vital funds for local services. 33-year-old Pomona local, Amanda Bennetts who is living with MS, is back for her second MS Swimathon and aiming to raise $2,000."This year is my second MS Swimathon and I cannot wait," she said. "It's going to be an amazing day. When I got the call telling me I most likely had MS, I called MS Queensland before anyone else. They have been with me on this difficult journey from the very first day. The reassuring person on the end of the phone telling me everything is going to be okay and gave me information about MS and neurologists. People with MS are so fortunate to have MS Queensland supporting them through their entire journey with
MS and I am very happy to raising money and giving back to them so they can continue their excellent work," Amanda said. Daniel Lalor, MS Queensland's fundraising manager said this year's event was extra special with MS Queensland raising funds to open a much-needed wellbeing centre for locals to access services like physiotherapy, service coordination and employment support in the one location. The MS Swimathon takes place on Saturday 12 October at the Caloundra Aquatic Centre. For more information visit www. msswimathon.com.au. ●

BLOCKBUSTER BRINGS THRILLS Almost fifty years of arch rivalry and the Noosa versus Maroochydore clash continues to thrill local football patrons. The game last Saturday at the Noosa Village Autos oval was simply an absolute cracker. It had everything, great skill, hard in and under contests and one on one battles right across the field. The Rococo's Bar & Bistro Tigers were good enough to be in front by 2 points at the final siren but local footy was the winner. The competition these two clubs bring to the table is what punters want to see. They rarely disappoint and the history speaks for itself. Of course, to be on the winning end is always nice but I think everyone knows at Tigerland that season 2019 is still at a knife's edge regardless of our boys being two games and percentage clear on the Hart Sport Division 1 QFA Ladder. Tiger star Jai Fitzpatrick said after the game, "They're the games you want to be involved in. It's just a full on contest from start to finish and we have heaps of respect for each other." Skipper Aaron Laskey was again

A few beers were enjoyed at the Sponsor Day. outstanding both across half back and through the midfield. The skipper just doesn't have a bad day along with footy manager Mitch Woods who again gathered 29 touches on his wing and set up many scoring thrusts for the Tigers. Jayden Holt's skills were there again on show for all to see where the talented on-baller collected 26 touches to
again be among the Tigers best. Even more special was that the annual Sponsors Day coincided with the match. The Rococo's Bar and Bistro Noosa Tigers are on the road this Saturday down to Burleigh on our final away fixture for the season before returning home for our last two home games against Springwood and Aspley. ●

LIFE OF BRINE
PHIL JARRATT
WE’RE STILL OVER THE MOON Every man and his dog - or at least those of us over about 55 - will be having a piece of this over the next couple of weeks, so I thought I'd get in ahead of the rush. Who remembers what they were doing when a man named Armstrong walked upon the moon, 50 years ago next week? The Apollo 11 moon landing is one of those rare moments in history that embed themselves in the memory for life for all the right reasons - a triumph rather than a tragedy. Yes, I can remember where I was and what I was doing when President Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated, when Harold Holt drowned (or was kidnapped in a Chinese mini-sub) at Cheviot Beach, and when the planes hit the Twin Towers on 9/11. But the good stuff, not so much. Of course, you can argue that the race to space became the race to weaponize the solar system, or if you want to be really silly you can argue that the moon landing never happened. But if you were around back then, you can never forget how amazing those scratchy images were, beaming out of our little black and white televisions on the sunny winter Monday afternoon of July 21, 1969. When Neil Armstrong and then Buzz Aldrin clambered out of the landing craft in their ridiculous spacesuits and made that "one great leap for mankind". I was in my final year of school and about to sit the trial Higher School Certificate, but during the morning history class, our English and history master, Fred Starling, announced that all of fifth and sixth form were being given the afternoon off so that they could watch the moon landing from home, but our small group of first level history students were invited to a sandwich lunch followed by the moon viewing at the Starling home, about halfway between the school and the beach. Perfect. The wind was blowing hard offshore into a rising ground swell. I'd ridden my bike down to check it before school, but in the dead of winter there was never quite long enough to fit an early session in. Now, Fred Starling and NASA were providing us that opportunity. We were paddling out through the channel into empty overhead barrels within 15 minutes of the lunch hooter sounding, and we surfed our brains out for the next hour. Fletch paddled over to me between sets. "What time's this moon walk supposed to happen?" I thought they'd said one o'clock, but what time was it now? I said I noosatoday.com.au

Joe Quigg with Baby Dave in Waikiki last week. thought we'd better go in, right now. Another set loomed. Right now, after this one. Our long hair wet on our collars and salt water dripping from our nostrils, we snuck into the Starling living room just as Buzz Aldrin climbed out to join his mate. All eyes were glued to the TV. No one seemed to notice. Then Fred Starling's imperious tone filled the room: "Time waits for no man. Fletcher, Jarratt, so glad you could join us for at least part of history in the making."
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Some years ago in Hawaii for one of Randy Rarick's magnificent surfboard auctions, I had the great good fortune to meet and spend some time in conversation with two of the forgotten heroes of surfboard design - Joe Quigg and Matt Kivlin. Born a few years apart in the 1920s, these two Malibu surfers and pioneer designers (Kivlin had a stellar career
as an architect, as well as his fame as a surfer) revolutionized California surfing in the late 1940s and early '50s by bringing home Rabbit Kekai's "hot curl" designs and adapting them to mainland conditions. Tall, handsome Matt Kivlin was the better test pilot, standing tall and flicking his hot curl around at Malibu, but Quigg was a design genius, taking the traditionally flat surfboard and giving it a kick at nose and tail - a fundamental breakthrough, later known as "rocker", that would take surfing into a whole new realm. Matt Warshaw wrote in his Encyclopedia of Surfing: "In 1947, Quigg built a balsa-redwood board for Darrylin Zanuck, the daughter of Hollywood mogul Darryl Zanuck, that was thinner and lighter than anything yet seen; the 25-pound 'Darrylin board', as it was called, got passed from one Malibu surfer to the next as the hottest-turning board on the beach, and thus became a
prototype for the popular Malibu chip board." Matt Kivlin was one who rode the Darrylin and it inspired him to produce his own "girl boards" for the Gidget generation. Together, Kivlin and Quigg helped launch the California surf boom of the 1950s, that was soon to spread around the world. That day in Ala Moana, Kivlin was the smiling elder statesman, Quigg the grumpy backroom boy, and neither of them was giving much away, until over one of those endless cups of weak coffee at a corner cafe, they opened up about their shared history and I sat there entranced. Matt Kivlin passed away not long after that, but Joe Quigg still lives in a care facility in Hawaii, and my friend "Baby Dave" Rochlen sent me a few photos this week of the celebration of Joe's 94th birthday at the Outrigger Canoe Club. Happy birthday, Joe! â—?

NUDGEE COLLEGE PAYS RESPECT On Saturday at Dolphins Rugby Union Club it was indeed a day of both reverence and rugby; for on that day the St Joseph's Nudgee Club Juniors Rugby Union team was in attendance to show respect to a former past junior member, Halley Appleby and also play Rugby against the Noosa Juniors. Halley Appleby, who had played rugby for the Noosa Dolphins as a junior and then Nudgee College, unfortunately died as a result of injuries received during a game on the grounds of the college. As a mark of respect and to keep the memory of the young man alive, at 11 am a wreath laying ceremony, attended by his mother Sue, was held and the wreath was laid as the base of the Halley Appleby Memorial Tree. Then Jerry Lewis, acting Dolphins Vice President spoke on behalf of the club and thanked the Nudgee boys for their attendance; and also Rob Frey Junior President, for his work in organising the ceremony. In the game that followed Nudgee had a win over Dolphins junior colts 50 to 26 and then later in the day Dolphins u/19 Colts played Caloundra which saw Noosa win 22 to 5.Then in the premier game Caloundra was victorious beating the Dolphins 20 -10. However as
Wreath laid.
Action on the field.
Halley Appleby remembered.
The teams compete.
they start to approach the finals there is good news for Dolphins; Charlie McKill who plays back row is returning after playing a season with the Scottish Sevens and Jonathon Davis, second row is also
returning after playing overseas. Great news for the Dolphins and we wish them well. Also during the day the old boys of the Dolphins 1988 premiership winning team and the 1999
HOOK, LINE & SINKER
premiership winners held a reunion and many old memories were enjoyed. "It was good for the club to see them back for a visit," said past President and life member Max Gunthorpe. â—?

STRONG WINDS KEEP FISHERS IN SHORE With winds strong enough to keep everyone but one charter trip from heading offshore the popular spot this week has been the estuary and river mouth area. We are fortunate enough to have relative shelter from the prevailing SE winds and anglers have not been let down. Although dirty the water of the river is clearer at depth and the fishing has been consistent with solid oversize flatties and trevally on the catch list. We have seen the odd tailor and the usual whiting, bream and other species of trevally including tealeaf and a few small diamonds. There have also been some chunky winter jacks getting caught and released on a mix of fresh mullet chunk and live bait. Noosa river mouth has had some action for land based anglers with whiting, bream and flatties showing up along the drop offs and new gutters which have been formed from the rains and spring tides early noosatoday.com.au
Evie Von Hagans with a trevally. in the week. If after whiting then live beach worm and a top shot of red whiting tube will make your bait look bigger and stand out in the dirty water. In the deeper waters around the sand bags and along the fallen tree line of the dog beach golden trevally and sizable bream have been caught. Both of these bigger fish are very line shy and 6lb lines and leaders are the go. Be prepared to give chase if in a boat or tighten your drag if land based as they know how to brick you in the blink of an eye. These fish love
smaller grubs loaded with scent and slowed rolled on heavier jigs heads across the front of the snags. If land based be sure to rig soft plastics weedless to try and tempt a big fish from deep inside the cover. Big flatties have been caught along these areas as well as toward Woods Bay and the Tewantin Marina. For anglers using baits a light gauge gang hook and a whole fish bait like a pilchard allowed to drift along in the current is the best approach. Trevally and tailor are around, but in the lower estuary. These fish will respond very well to soft vibes as they have a lot of vibration so be sure to grab a few different colours and weights and work these through any eddies like the woods bay/ current line. With all the rain staying in the lower part of the estuary is a better option as it will become very fresh upriver. If you own a few crab pots now is a great time to put these out as they love a good downpour.
Load these up with mullet frames and heads and tie these off along the mangrove lines toward the first lake and around any creeks of the ski run. Lake MacDonald is now spilling over so working the edges, drop offs and deeper sections will be the best option. Having sounders running in down scan is important so you can separate your fish from the trees which is hard to see in traditional 2D mode. This also applies to Borumba, however it is not at 100%. The temp at Borumba is down to 14C b ut the fish are still very active will take a suspending lure or slow retrieved spoon. Be sure to keep hooks razor sharp at all times and swap any rusting or old hooks out to avoid poor or missed hook-ups. Lastly pay attention to any free standing timber as you will often find big fish hanging out just below the surface. So on behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures! â—?
