MORE TO LOVE The editor’s desk Noosa has been in the national spotlight this week - and for all the wrong reasons. A poor decision and then bad behavior from local councilor Jess Glasgow hasn’t reflected too well on this little piece of paradise. But enough of that. Let’s instead focus on a group of Peregian students who covered themselves in glory over the school holidays - immersing themselves in Cambodian culture while helping out a race that has endured incredible hardship. I have been to Cambodia a couple of times - cycling for charity - and found it to be a beautiful place with wonderful people. That group from St Andrews College Peregian - our next generation of community leaders - no doubt had a similar impact on the Cambodian people. Garry Howe

She said expert evidence in the Planning and Environment Court by Sunshine Coast Council had shown that fly rock from blasting could go as high as 1600 feet and up to 24 blast events are predicted for this quarry each year. “Council’s recent responses to our concerns are simply not good enough,” she said. “They must explain why they were strongly arguing the safety risks before the Planning and Environment Court in 2013, and yet these known hazards were not documented by the Council in the
Environmental Impact Statement prepared in 2014. “Put bluntly, the Sunshine Coast Council EIS was totally silent on a known and documented fundamental public and aviation safety issue. It was therefore misleading in a substantial way. “This failure has subsequently been compounded by Air Services Australia, which also did not mention the quarry issues in their consultation. “For over six years, the flying public, and Sunshine Coast and Noosa residents have been kept in the dark and expected to simply trust authorities which have not earned that trust. “Flight Path Forum intends to pursue this issue with the Coordinator-General, CASA, Air Services Australia, and the airlines that will operate on the new flight paths. We believe that any authority which puts safety first would insist on examining alternative flight paths which avoid the quarry altogether.” ●

HELP STAMP OUT BITES Noosa Council is calling on residents to help give mozzies the flick following the recent rain. “Mosquitoes breed quickly in freshwater after periods of rain. Anywhere rainwater pools and stagnates mosquitoes can breed,” council’s environmental health coordinator Sunil Kushor said. “Mosquito control is important to help prevent the spread of mosquitoborne illnesses such as Ross River Virus.” Council treats saltmarshes with mosquito growth inhibitor to prevent mosquito breeding, with staff onsite at five sites across the shire last week. But it is up to residents to help stop mosquitoes breeding around the house, Mr Kushor said. “Sometimes it’s the places that are out of sight that offer mosquitoes the conditions they need to breed. “Keeping gutters free of leaves and other blockages that allow rainwater to collect is a great place to start. “Preventing mosquitoes from breeding in your yard can be as easy as removing containers such as empty pots, saucers and wheelbarrows. “Adding sand to plant pot saucers helps prevent water pooling, and always remember to flush out pet bowls and bird baths at least weekly. “Insect screens on windows can help keep mozzies from entering homes, and when outside, use insect repellent to protect yourself from bites, particularly on dusk and at night.” ●

Flight Path Forum is holding a public meeting at Coolum Civic Centre on Sunday 20 October at 10am to alert residents and the flying public to the dangers of proposed flight paths over an approved hard rock quarry at Yandina Creek. “We urge residents to come along to this meeting, and hear the facts,” said FPF President Cheryl Sykes. “We will also be advising Qantas, Jetstar, Virgin and Air New Zealand of the risks to their passengers on arriving and departing flights when the new runway is in operation. “Aviation risks from quarry fly rock during blasting are a known safety hazard. Right now Christchurch International Airport Limited and Air New Zealand are opposing a quarry on the outskirts of Christchurch, due to concerns about aviation safety. “We will also be bringing the issue to the attention of Palisades Investment Partners, who will be the operators of the airport and new runway.” Ms Sykes said the proposed arrival and departure flight paths go directly

LIFE LESSONS IN
CAMBODIA nstead of lazing away the school holidays, more than 50 students from St Andrew’s College Peregian have stepped beyond the bounds of their everyday, to make a difference to the lives of others. Over the two-week school holiday period, the students ranging from Years 8-12, participated in a variety of projects and trips across the globe, including Japan, Spain, Thailand and Cambodia which are part of St Andrew’s awardwinning Global Opportunities (GO) program. Through either a service or experiential learning program, students develop global perspectives and cultural intelligence as well as knowledge, skills and values in a non-traditional academic setting. It was an especially enlightening and life-changing few weeks for students in Years 10-12 who spent 12 days in Cambodia, completely immersing themselves in the culture and gaining authentic with those less fortunate, including visiting the S21 prison and the Killing Fields,

Teacher Shaun Cleary said he was proud at the way students at St Andrew’s were defying the stereotypes of the “Me Generation.” “I’m often perplexed when some older generations hastily discount the youth of today,” Shaun Cleary said. “This next generation have got it so right. Their consideration for

a need greater than their own, their kindness and compassion are exactly what the world needs today. “We are very proud to be a part of the St Andrew’s community, that gets the “bigger picture” and grateful to have been afforded this opportunity to have shared this journey of personal growth with the students. “Let’s never forget that life’s lessons don’t end with school, but that every day is a unique
opportunity to continue to learn and grow, so that in even in our own small way back home - we are empowered to collectively contribute to a better tomorrow for all.” From pouring cement, shovelling, sweating, spending hours pulling out weeds, to playing games of ‘duck, duck goose’ and making bracelets with local primary school children, Year 12 student Chelsea said the opportunity had changed her for the better. “This trip has helped me grow as a person, not only in who I am but also my beliefs,” Chelsea said. “The opportunity we have been presented with to give back to others in need and experience a whole new and exciting culture is a big reason as to why I signed up for this trip. “I appreciate the importance of giving back more than I did before. I believe that we get caught up within our western world and sometimes forget how lucky we really are.” Year 10 student Bronte, now plans to take what she has learnt during her time in Cambodia, and make changes in her daily life. noosatoday.com.au

“I came to help. I came to experience. I came to learn. But also came to prove many things to myself. I came to show myself that I can make a difference and to be put in a situation with many other like-minded people with these same goals,” Bronte said. “It is important for us, the youth of this world, to be thrown into a myriad of challenges that would never have been hardships in our own country, but I am now faced with a new challenge, to apply this within our western bubble each and every in each and every way.” Meanwhile, Year 8 students travelled to Thailand where they visited elephant sanctuaries, volunteered in local schools, learnt about child sponsorship programs and assisted locals in building a new school dormitory in a village that the College has been visiting for the past 6 years. A further 12 students spent a
month at the Colleges’ Partner Schools in Spain and Japan, where they were hosted by school families and immersed in local life in order to expand their global perspectives and further develop their Cultural Intelligence. The GO Program won the Best Co-curricular category at the recent Australian Educator Awards. This program aims to place the students in situations where they will need to demonstrate independence, leadership, critical thinking and servanthood and is closely linked to the curriculum in order to leverage the knowledge and skills that have already been developed in the classroom. It is hoped that, through these experiences, the students will develop an ability to thrive in different cultural situations and become more equipped to bring about positive change both globally and locally. ●

Jordyn’s photograph titled ‘Willie Wagtail’ has taken out the top prize in the University’s 2019 Gerard Mills Memorial Prize for Wildlife Photography. “I was sitting near the Sippy Downs dam at USC’s Sunshine Coast campus and was just about to leave when this little bird flew in front of me, scavenging for food, and I took a chance to snap the photo,” Jordyn said. The stunning image of the vivid blue and white bird juxtaposed with a bright yellow background has earned Jordyn, who is doing a combined Education/Recreation and Outdoor Environmental Studies degree, $1,000 in prize money and a $500 voucher from Ted’s Camera Store.

NOOSAVILLE TO HOST TOP AUTHOR The River Read Noosaville is excited to be welcoming Australia’s bestselling non-fiction writer and journalist Peter FitzSimons to launch his latest book James Cook The Story Behind the Man who Mapped the World. On Tuesday 12 November 12 Peter will be joined by special guest host 92.7 MixFM’s Caroline Hutchinson at 250 Grammi Food and Wine Bar on Gympie Terrace for a delicious Italian lunch and discussion with this passionate Australian story teller. Captain James Cook is one of the most recognisable in Australian history - an almost mythic figure who is often discussed, celebrated, reviled and debated. But who was the real James Cook? This Yorkshire farm boy would go on to become the foremost mariner, navigator and cartographer of his era, and to personally map a third of the globe. His great voyages of discovery were incredible feats of seamanship and navigation. Leading a crew of men into uncharted territories, Cook would
face the best and worst of humanity as he took himself and his crew to the edge of the known world - and beyond. With his masterful storytelling talent, Peter FitzSimons brings James Cook to life. Focusing on his most iconic expedition, the voyage of the Endeavour, where Cook first set foot on Australian and New Zealand soil,
FitzSimons contrasts Cook against another figure who looms large in Australasian history: Joseph Banks, the aristocratic botanist. As they left England, Banks, a rich, famous playboy, was everything that Cook was not. The voyage tested Cook’s character and would help define his legacy. Now, 240 years after James Cook’s death, FitzSimons reveals what
kind of man James was at heart his strengths, his weaknesses, his passions and pursuits, failures and successes. In addition to being Australia’s bestselling non-fiction writer, for the past 30 years Peter FitzSimons has also been a journalist and columnist with the Sydney Morning Herald and The Sun-Herald. He is the author of a number of highly successful books, including Burke And Wills, Monash’s Masterpiece, Kokoda, Ned Kelly and Gallipoli, as well as biographies of such notable Australians as Sir Douglas Mawson, Nancy Wake and Nick Farr-Jones. His passion is to tell Australian stories, our own stories: of great men and women, of stirring events in our history. Peter grew up on a farm north of Sydney, went to boarding school in Sydney and attended Sydney University. An ex-Wallaby, he also lived for several years in rural France and Italy, playing rugby for regional clubs. He and his wife Lisa Wilkinson - journalist, magazine editor and television presenter - have three children; they live in Sydney. ●

Noosa District State High School Year 12 student Jasmin Smith has received a special academic award from the Father Heffernan Memorial Bursaries. Jasmin was chosen as one of the elite few to receive this award over the past 19 years. She received $1000 to assist her in perusing her goal to attend the Sunshine Coast University where she hopes to study Medical Science. Each year a large number of young people from the Sunshine Coast aged from 15 to 25 years of age apply for this cash bursary and award. This benevolent fund was established nearly two decades ago by the family of the late Rev Fr Francis Hefferan Parish Priest of Nambour Catholic Church and are awarded specifically to young people for outstanding efforts in academia, the arts and other innovative pursuits to encourage them to achieve their goals. The fund committee that administers the bursaries and awards are comprised of representatives from the community, schools and St Joseph’s Parish. Fund committee representative Desley Goggin commended Jasmin for her outstanding academic record.

NURSING STUDENTS HEAD OUT Forty-five Nursing Science students from four USC campuses will complete clinical placements in Indonesia, starting from this month, with funding support from the Australian Government’s New Colombo Plan Mobility Program. The program is funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and provides grants to Australian universities to support undergraduates to complete semester-based or short-term placements in 40 locations across the Indo-Pacific region. Lecturers in Nursing Science Matt Mason of USC Sunshine Coast and April Martin of USC Fraser Coast will lead a cohort of 22 students this month, departing 25 October, and another group of 23 students in January. Mr Mason said both groups would comprise future nurses from the Sunshine Coast, Caboolture, Gympie and Fraser Coast. “This is the third trip I’ve gone on with students to placements in

It fosters some great cross-campus collaborations.” The students will work alongside a local non-government organisation, Karima Health Care

USC has also been successful in securing almost $580,000 in the 2020 New Colombo Plan Mobility Program application round to support 173 students to participate in nine projects. Two of the largest grants include funding for 60 students to explore Chinese society and culture, and another for 30 students to investigate capacity building in Samoa through partnerships with a High Performance Student Athlete program. Other projects that received grants include researching plastic waste options in Nepal, enhancing nutrition in Kiribati and assessing civil infrastructure in urban and regional India. ●

A PR NIGHTMARE The PR nightmare currently unfolding for Noosa Shire Council following Cr Glasson’s ham-fisted handling of The Bachelorette gig, has prior form. Regional councils are not generally known for their bold plans, progressive policies, race/genderforward thinking, or diversity of leadership. Small regional councils, even less so. Noosa Shire has had its problems in the past, with questionable councillor conduct and ‘crash through’ leaders. Noosa has also never had a female mayor, and the one female councillor we do have says she is quitting at the next election. Why? Some covert organisational culture war, deep-rooted misogyny perhaps? Other feudal structures spring to mind here, command-control regimes like defence force academies.... Unfortunately, the outcome of Cr Glasson’s exploits in reality TV-land should have been predicted, and considered well before they actually occurred (see Risk Management 101).

HEAD TO THE HILLS FOR MOST LOVED MUSICAL The world’s best-loved musical, The Sound Of Music, comes to Noosa Arts Theatre this November with a dazzling production from director Ian Mackeller. Ian has been actively involved within the entertainment industry (television and theatre) his entire career, as an actor/vocalist, composer/ lyricist, director and producer. Ian was festival director for NOOSA alive! for 10 years and has enjoyed a long association with Noosa Arts Theatre, performing and directing in numerous productions for more than a decade. He appeared as Fagin in the 2018 production of Oliver and directed the hugely successful production of Funny Girl last year.
This lavish and joyous production tells the uplifting true story of Maria, the funloving governess who changes the lives of the widowed Captain Von Trapp and his seven children by re-introducing them to music, culminating in the family’s escape across the mountains. The original 1959 Broadway production of The Sound Of Music won six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and was Rodgers and Hammerstein’s biggest success. The 1965 movie starring Julie Andrews as Maria won five Oscars, including Best Picture, and remains one of the most popular movies of all time. The Sound Of Music brims over with some of the most memorable
songs ever performed on the musical theatre stage, including My Favorite Things, Do-Re-Mi, Climb Ev’ry Mountain, Edelweiss, The Lonely Goatherd, Sixteen Going on Seventeen, and of course the glorious title song The Sound of Music. This iconic show touches the hearts of all ages – Don’t miss it!

MENTALS MAGIC Once upon a time, a group of art students passed themselves off as a band in order to con the local publican into giving them a gig in exchange for free beer. The deception worked better than intended with the group receiving beer in return for music and came to be known as Mental as Anything. Four decades later, they are still irritating the public with their highly listenable, idiosyncratic brand of garage pop. And this iconic Australian band is playing on Sunday 27 October at The Tewantin Noosa RSL. From The Nips Are Getting Bigger, Come Around, If You Leave Me Can I Come Too and Too Many Times, through to Live It Up, You’re So Strong and Let’s Cook, Mental as Anything supplied the soundtrack to suburban Australia brilliantly crafted pop hits that evoke wonderful memories. Their 25 Top 40 charting songs were, for a long time, a record for an Australian band and are a wonderful illustration of the depth of their catalogue and their song-writing ability. Founding member, Greedy Smith, said “Since 1977 the longest break
I’ve had from playing with Mentals is 6 weeks in 1989/90 when I fell off a horse. Martin Plaza has been off the road for over two years now and I feel so proud of the players I have around me and the way the songs have been sounding I felt we had to properly record our live show and film it. We rounded up some pals to play to and just let rip.” Tickets are on sale now at $30 for members and $35 for non-members. Solo support act, Shane Kells will open this show/date and warm up the crowd from 1.30 pm. Doors open for this 18-plus show at 1pm and Mental As Anything will hit the stage around 3pm. Tickets can be bought by either calling the club on 5447 1766 or in person at 1 Memorial Avenue Tewantin. ●
IT’S ABOUT THE JOURNEY NOT THE DESTINATION Journeying inward to discover nature and elements of self, four artists show intimate aspects of their daily life and art practice in an exhibition at the Butter Factory Arts Centre, Cooroy, from this Friday until the end of November. These provoking works explore very different art materials. Appreciating the smaller details of nature, Cliff Bauer dives deep into landscape portraying the beauty and fragility of nature through painting. While Sylvia Free manipulates glass to create exquisite 3D forms capturing pure moments in time. “It’s always exciting matching 3D work with 2d work, the interplay between the shapes, the colours and even the shadows makes for a really interesting curation.” Arts centre coordinator Alicia Sharples said. Depicting the struggle of daily life, Vit Martinek’s ceramic sculptures explore the interplay of delicate forms. Combined with Anna Howard’s depth of colour and composition, guide viewers into memories and
Vit Martinek's artwork 'Rosa Korrale'. aspects of an artists’ life. The exhibition opens Friday 18 October, at 6pm, and runs through to 26 November. Entry is free. The arts centre is at 11A Maple Street Cooroy. Visit online at http://www. butterfactoryartscentre.com.au/ current-exhibition.html ●

The students were thrilled to have Ms Popple back to the school, after she attained a dual degree in Law and Arts at the University of the Sunshine Coast. Ms Popple spoke to the class about her work at the Cooroy Legal Centre and emphasised the importance of volunteering and obtaining work experience as an important strategy to advance career progression. “Building networks in the career you are interested in is so important. You never know who might notice you and where that might lead,” Ms Popple said. The class were told about the importance of maintaining a good work life balance.

Over time, many tags have been returned, gradually revealing the extraordinary migratory behaviour of these remarkable fishes. Each recapture is represented by an arrow on a map, but who is at the other end of those arrows, often in remote places scattered throughout the Pacific and Indian Oceans? Friday Environment Forum guest speaker Dr Julian Pepperell decided to try to find out by travelling to the ends of those arrows in the hope of finding the fishermen who returned the tags and learn about their fishing culture and the importance of these iconic fish to their way of life. Learn about these incredible fish and their travels on Friday October 18 at the NPA Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive Noosaville. The forum starts at 10.30am with coffee available at 10am, and ends at 12.15pm. All are welcome and a donation is appreciated. Interpretive birding starts at 8.30am in the carpark.

either a ‘crier’ or ‘denier’ - black or white, leaves little room for what appears to be the majority, the greys! This middle ‘common ground’ includes those who see that risk minimisation in any realm, as long as our most vulnerable are not negatively impacted, is a sound path. Government similar to any business will avoid liability as part of risk minimisation, and look to credible sources of information for these decisions as part of that risk aversion, whether that be scientists, doctors, lawyers or specialists. They endeavour to make these decisions
in a global effort when our contribution is minor? Why are we exporting fossil fuels if we are decreasing the use of? If climate change is a natural occurrence, and our contribution is minor, why are we working to diminish our addition to this? Regardless of whether you are black, white or grey, the reality is that every single one of us has the capacity to make change happen, whatever that change is. It does not require anger, violence, strikes or divisions in order to do so. It takes understanding - about our behaviours and expectations, and the system we operate under, democracy. The majority through their vote determines a path, influenced by multiple factors including a culture of risk aversion and mitigation. Who drives this culture and why? Every single one of us. This may be because we want to be assured, and no longer derive this assurance from historical beliefs, elected representatives, religion, ‘mother nature’ or even, the democratic process itself? Good fodder for your next dinner debate! ●

Within any debate in Chamber, or issues within our community, there are many shades - black, white, grey and others! I remember back to school debating days (40 years ago!), where our role was to convince the adjudicators that your rationale was superior, regardless of your own beliefs. The strategy was to utilise the grey areas to further your argument, as the ‘black and whites’ were considered a difficult arena to argue. These days, contesting ‘irrefutable’ facts, data and analysis, previous givens, belief systems and expertise is a daily norm, creating confusion, as well conundrum for those who need to make decisions and implement solutions! Don’t get me wrong; ‘Contesting’ is essential for healthy discussion, to promote enquiring minds, to learn more and find resolutions to issues. However the speed of ‘contesting’ raises an important question - ‘who and what do we now believe in?’ An example is the ongoing divisions and arguments in public domain and over dinner tables regarding climate change. Demands from advocates that one becomes

SEARCHING FAR, DEEP AND WIDE

KIDS PLAY NOOSA FOR FREE SUNDAY AFTERNOONS.
With Monday a public holiday, the winds were kind enough to drop out and the swell was low enough to let most with a boat get into the action. The winds picked up from Tuesday and we even had a miniheatwave and then significant rainfall on Friday and Saturday which is going to see a good change in the rivers and inshore reefs. Offshore we saw boats travel far and wide with the distant reefs of DI and the banks providing anglers with a mixed bag of amberjack, jewfish, parrot, tuskies, snapper, longtail tuna and a few smaller cobia. The fish taking baits dropped to the bottom to paternoster rigs as well as high speed jigs on PE3 or heavier gear. North reef has been the pick of the spots with jewfish, cobia, Maori wrasse, snapper, tuskies and big pearlies on the catch menu. Sunshine reef is one of these spots worth sounding around and trying to find new ground as this area is consistently changing. Fish on the catch list include jewfish, pearlies, small snapper, juvenile reds and good sized sweetlip and tuskies. Most anglers fishing this area will use traditional paternoster rigs with pilchard and squid baits. This is a great area for soft plastics and smaller jigs in the 40g or more range on 20lb gear. Off the beaches the light morning winds provided anglers with some great conditions to target the smaller whiting, bream and dart. Having a light surf outfit keeps things fun as these fish are often in plentiful numbers and a great way to experience surf fishing. As we approach the full moon anglers with bigger rods and reels fished during the evening high tides in the hope of finding a big jewfish. Although known to be a new moon species it is always worth a shot during a full moon. In the river anglers are chasing
flathead which are taking live and dead baits of frogmouth pilchards and hardy heads. These are also a great fish to target if new to using plastics as they are often easy to find and will snap at anything passing close by. Have a hunt around the drop offs of the dog beach and the sand bags. Whiting are still holding up along Gympie Terrace and around the river mouth and the southern side of the rock wall when the swell is light. Further up river around the ski run and between the lakes we are seeing jewies in the smaller 60-70cm range. They are favoured by bull sharks so try to get your fish in fast and do not attempt to land one by hand as they often get taken boat side when the fish are tired. Other fish found up river are mangrove jacks which are becoming increasingly more active. Casting poppers and bigger stickbaits into the snags is a great way to get the surface strike. Weedless rigged soft plastics lets you cast deep into the timber and not get stuck. This is often where these ambush predators lay in wait. Be sure to upgrade the rings and hooks on smaller surface or diving lures as they will straighten out on big fish. Lastly the freshwater has livened up and the surface bite is on! If you are lucky you could connect to a big toga or bass so always approach with stealth. Slow retrieve surface lures work well here as do spinnerbaits once the sun is overhead and the fish are hiding deep under trees and overhanging bushes. These can be cast deep into cover and slow wound back out as these are almost weedless. Be sure to carry a lure retriever with you at all times so you don’t lose your favourite lure! So on behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures! ●

JAKE DETERMINED TO TRI HARD The Garth Prowd OAM Triathlon Scholarship was created in partnership with Noosa Triathlon and the Prowd family in honour of the man who revolutionised triathlon, running and cycling events in Australia, and who was an enthusiastic athlete advocate. Garth was passionate about supporting rising athletes and his scholarship aims to unearth our future medallists and recognises, and creates, opportunities for young triathletes to develop not only their athletic ability, but also their business acumen at the outset of their careers. The 2018 male recipient and Sunshine Coast resident, Jake Hynes, has put his scholarship to good use and is delighted to have the opportunity to be racing elite at Noosa this year, to highlight his progress over the past 12 months. “The Garth Prowd Scholarship is a great thing and a really good opportunity. It is amazing that the Prowd family and the sponsors who support it, put in all the time and effort to help young triathletes like myself to unlock their true potential and find a path that they might not have been able to find without the scholarship,” Jake said. Twenty year old Jake originally came from a rugby league background as a youngster and while he always had a strong swim/ run background, it wasn’t until the family settled on the Sunshine Coast that he made the switch to triathlon. “When I was 14 mum and dad caught up with Toby Coote at the Sunshine Coast Triathlon Academy (SCTA) and suggested I do something a bit different and something more of an individual sport. “My first actual race was a Stroke and Stride at Lake Kawana, a run, swim, run I think. My first triathlon was a QTS race at Raby Bay in Brisbane. I loved it straight away and all the people around were so nice and so supportive. It was an awesome atmosphere.” As he developed Jake has been progressing through the ranks, now racing ITU Asian and Continental Cup feeder events, with the long term goal of racing World Cup and hopefully the World Triathlon Series. “People who I train with at the SCTA were telling me there was a scholarship for under 23s and they thought it would be a really good idea to apply for it. So, I did and I was very honoured to receive the scholarship, the funding, the bonuses of communicating with elite athletes who are a part of the noosatoday.com.au
scholarship program and all the sponsors that come with it. It has been a great help.” “Courtney Atkinson is my main athlete mentor that I spend time with but there are also people like Emma Snowsill, who have been a part of the Noosa Triathlon and very strongly connected to Garth Prowd. “What Garth did was absolutely amazing. Initially I had no real idea about his impact and then Toby Coote and the Prowd family gave me more in depth run down on what Garth achieved, what he did for the sport and some of the people in it. By the sound of things, he was an awesome bloke.” “Triathlon can be an expensive sport and the sponsors really help out and the funding from the Garth Prowd Scholarship has been amazing to get me to places and travel overseas to get that vital experience to do more. “So far it is pretty good and I had my first overseas race, the Osaka Castle Asian Cup in Japan in September. “Pretty much the Garth Prowd Scholarship and funding that they gave me helped me to get over there. The feeling of going overseas to race and lining up along that pontoon is an awesome experience and I am very grateful for the opportunities the scholarship has provided,” he said. Jake is balancing full time employment with 26 hours a week training and while it is hard work, he wouldn’t have it any other way. After a tough debut year, he is looking forward to a strong finish at the Noosa Triathlon in front of a home crowd on Noosa Parade. “Noosa is an amazing atmosphere and the wonderful people put together such an awesome event. I have raced there for four years and it has been unreal every time, even when I have just gone up to watch,” Jake said. “It is awesome. I am racing in the elite field this year, so that is going to be exciting. It will be a hard day but if I can get a good swim to be thereabouts, we will see what happens,” he laughed. All proceeds from the Tour de Noosa - Garth Prowd Ride (1 November) go towards the scholarship, to continue the legacy created by Garth at the Noosa Triathlon. The ride is open to everyone young and old, and is a brisk recreational tour over part of the Noosa Triathlon cycle course. The Garth Prowd Triathlon Scholarship is open for applications for Australian triathletes aged between 15-23 years of age as of 31
December 2019. Athletes will need to race the 2019 Noosa Triathlon and apply for the scholarship. A panel of selectors will review and agree on one male and one
female worthy candidate. The Scholarship winners will be awarded at the Noosa Triathlon Presentations, Noosa Main Beach, Sunday 3 November 2019, 4pm. ●

LIFE OF BRINE

VIVE LA FRANCE! It’s been a long time - possibly forever - since France could boast a surfer in the top ten of both the men’s and women’s world tour. But that’s the situation after last week’s Quiksilver Pro France in which Johanne Defay made another bold showing to finish equal third, and Jeremy Flores surfed like a Frenchman possessed - he’s actually from Reunion - to become the first of his countrymen to take out the Hossegor event in it’s 17-year history. And oh, boy, did the huge crowd watching the shore-break barrel feast up close and personal go nuts when their favourite son exploded out of yet another tube to seal the deal. When an ecstatic Jeremy finally made it through the adoring crowd to the interview position, he dedicated the victory to the late Pierre Agnes, his mentor and another favourite son of Hossegor and Capbreton, setting off another torrent of emotion throughout the crowd, which finally culminated in Jeremy, drenched in champagne, holding his trophy aloft and leading 20,000 raucous fans in a spirited rendition of La Marseillaise. Ah, the Froggies! You’ve got to love their spirit. Jeremy’s charge up the ladder is too late for a world title this year, but at 30 he’s still got one in him, I reckon, and that would formalise his claim as France’s greatest ever surfer, one that has burdened him since he was the gorgeous pre-teen that I remember coming out of the water, putting down his board and running across the sand to kiss me respectfully on both cheeks. It’s been a long journey since those turn-ofthe-century days. At the time I was the head of marketing for Quiksilver Europe and Jeremy was our star junior, so, alongside team manager Stephen Bell and Gary “Kong” Elkerton, I saw a lot of Jeremy in junior events around Europe and the UK. Like Kelly Slater 20 years earlier, he had world champion written all over him. And as he developed he also turned into a fearless charger, taking on waves of consequence wherever he found them. Then he discovered martial arts and Hawaii’s Wolfpak, and the cute kid became a gnarly young man with an attitude, infamously being disqualified from ASP competition after he and Sunny Garcia beat up a Burleigh local. And then the real Jeremy shed that skin and came back as an even better surfer, an ambassador for his sport, and a family man. He underlined that transition from boy to man when he made 18 NOOSA TODAY

Jeremy Flores wows the Hossegor crowd.
Triumphant Jeremy is chaired up the beach. Picture: WSL history at pumping la Graviere last Friday, and I bet there wasn’t a dry eye on the beach. Or at my place, for that matter.
HE’S A HORSE’S A You know the old squadron song, of course you do. Hooray for Jess, hooray at last… And so on. Well, Cr Jess Glasgow didn’t need to climb into the horse costume to make a complete equine bottom of himself last week, but he did anyway, incurring the wrath of his boss, our mayor, and about 98 per cent of the world-wide blogosphere. The youngest Noosa councillor explained that his two appearances on The Bachelorette alleged reality show were really just a bit of a lark, and an alternative to looking for love in one of Noosa’s dim and dirty nightclubs, (who knew we had any?) but Mayor Wellington was having none of it, telling the ABC that he was, “totally appalled, as was my wife, and I’m sure most women

watching the program would have been appalled. It was just incredibly misogynistic, crude, and highly offensive behaviour.” Yep, and I’m pretty sure that the noise that followed that tirade was an imploding political career. There’s no doubt that our Jess was a very foolish lad and is now suffering the consequences, but I think that as a community it’s time we cut him a bit of slack. He did something stupid, not criminal. I don’t know if he was an effective councillor, but I’ve worked with him on committees and I know that his heart is in the right place. He will have learned some life lessons the hard way - in the full glare of a judgmental and unforgiving public - and as the news cycle moves on to something even more trivial, I wish him well in the next chapter.
SUN SETS ON SUNSET SESSIONS While Jess was hogging the
headlines last week, a far greater travesty was relegated to the back pages and the community noticeboards. The riverside sunset jams by Noosa’s oldest and greatest band, the immortal SandFlys, are no more. Why? Because one tenant, a hire shop that finishes its trading before the sessions even begin, objected to the pleasant, low-key sounds of a band that has developed a huge following amongst locals over the past couple of years. Like a lot of Noosa people, my wife and I are Sandflys groupies. We catch their gigs whenever we can, whether it’s Thursday mornings at The Jetty or at the Harbour Wine Bar, or, until last week, in the park in front of The Boathouse. And we always leave with a smile on our faces. Hopefully the SandFlys will find another home for their free community shows, but if ever I find myself looking for a kayak to hire, I will resist the impulse. ● noosatoday.com.au

LANA TAKES GOLDEN TITLE Once again our beaches were crowded and except for a short period on Saturday morning the weather was great for visitors. Despite many of our surf club members being on the Gold Coast for the running of the Coolangatta Gold Short Course and Long Course Events patrols were at full strength. Sunday morning the Nipper Clubs were again active with great role ups at all three beaches; Noosa, Sunshine Beach and Peregian. At Noosa Sunday morning saw another bronze squad commence their basic training with some 25 members being signed up. With large Christmas crowds being expected our clubs will be looking for full patrol rosters. Now that the roof has gone up on the new Sunshine Beach Surf Club there is quite a swell of excitement around town with many eagerly looking towards the finish of the project: all indications are that we will have a surf club second to none to provide beach safety for this magnificent stretch of beach. On the weekend it was good to see Noosa Heads boat section extend the hand of friendship to Yeppoon a club in the far north region. This club has formed a ladies reserve grade boat crew and with that region being a calm water beach the crew has accepted an invitation to drive to Noosa once a month for advanced training on open beaches

such as Peregian. “This was great experience for the ladies,” said coach /boat sweep Mick Gardner. “There were a few big sets coming through and it was a real learning curve for the crew; some have not seen such big waves, but there they were not just looking but also rowing in it.” We wish them well at their first carnival. Last weekend it was show time for our lifesaving movement with
the annual Coolangatta Gold Events being contested on the Gold Coast; and both Noosa and Sunshine Beach were represented. For Sunshine they were represented in the under 17 boys team event (short course) finishing second and third overall in the Open. This event which usually takes a winning time of two hours plus is a great starting platform for the young competitors and the experience and self-confidence gained is invaluable in the season ahead.
However for Noosa it has been a Gold to remember because for the first time in the club’s history in this event (ladies section) Noosa won the double: in the short course Courtney Bryant 19, in a time of 2hrs 34 min won the gold and in the big event the open female Coolangatta Gold Noosa’s Larna Rogers won the title in a time of 4 hrs. 27 min. 51 sec. This win saw Rogers cross the line in first place just an incredible three seconds ahead of second place getter Jemma Smith. The race which consisted of a 23km. ski, 2.1km.run, 3.5 km swim, 6km board and a second run of 7.1Km. came down to the last 50mts. ”We were running in soft sand so I stopped and took off my shoes; for me that made the difference.” A tough three month training program drawn up by Coach Scharlene Kelly saw her in the best condition ever. For Courtney her performance was also outstanding for she led in every section of the race. “I have had great support: training with both Larna Rogers and Jordy Mercer and having Darren Mercer coaching and covering me as my board paddler during my swim leg.” This has given Courtney the confidence to next year contest the long course. Well done to Larna, Courtney and their support teams. ●
