Now, they say living in Noosa is La Dolce Vita and my life has certainly had an Italian feel over the last few days! Firstly, I got to test drive the new, super-cute Fiat 500, thanks to the lovely boys at Cricks Noosa. It’s a head-turner for sure and I had great fun zipping around town with the top down! It’s the perfect little car for Noosa and you can read all about it inside. Then I caught up with new local and entrepreneur Michelangelo Cecconi. Owner of the renowned Bandstand Cafe in Sydney, Michelangelo now calls Tewantin home and has been busy putting the finishing touches to his new eatery, Italian Marina Pizza Restaurant, at Noosa Marina. Offering truly authentic Italian cuisine, including wood-fired pizza, I can’t wait for opening night! However, I’ll have to sing for my supper that night. Well, not sing exactly, but I will be on the panel at an event hosted by Noosa’s Bigger Vision Group this Friday. The panel – which also includes Noosa Councillor Sandy Bolton, President of Noosa Chamber of Commerce, Sarah Fisher, and May King Tsang, cofounder of Queensland Business Group – will ask the question, What is holding Noosa’s small businesses back? According to figures from the Queensland Government 85 per cent of businesses fall into the micro or non-employing (four employees or less) category and further Australian statistics show that 52.5 per cent of small businesses fail within three years. With our local economy reliant on these businesses growing to generate employment and spending, isn’t it time there was a serious discussion about the burning issues that Noosa’s small business people

have so that Council, financial institutions and business services can better understand how to support them? Facilitated by Bigger Vision Group’s Creative Director and Business Education Facilitator, Helen Barber, this interactive panel discussion is taking place during Small Business Week, on Friday, September 5, from 4pm to 6.30pm at Noosa Convention and Exhibition Centre, 3 Hilton Terrace, Tewantin. “Rather than having a speaker talk ‘at’ you during a business event, we really felt the need to have an event that invites an open discussion that gets to the heart of business issues,” said Helen. Catherine MacAdam, Bigger Vision Group’s Social Media Consultant and Trainer added: “We are passionate about supporting small business in this community through our educational workshops and marketing services and we understand from our clients that they struggle to grow due to lack of relevant knowledge about marketing, finance and funding opportunities.” All Noosa business people are invited to attend and join the discussion so we can learn how to better support local business. The YLM team will be there, of course, as we are passionate about supporting local businesses and keeping jobs and dollars local – just like we do. The 60-minute discussion will be followed by networking and cash bar. Tickets are $10 per head – online payments preferred prior to the event as seats are limited, or pay cash on the door.

A message from Dad

September 7 is Father’s Day, a celebration honouring dads and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society.

It’s a time of gifts but the greatest gift of all has to be the love and advice that our Dads share with us to guide us through life. We asked four local Dads to share their special day with YLM by writing open letters to their children. Compiled by Jim

David Glassock with Darcy, Archie, Harry, Maggie and Joey

Dear Kids Let me say from the outset that Mum and I are so proud of the ﬁne young people that you are becoming. We are truly blessed to witness the milestones of your lives so far. As a family, especially when you were younger, we used say “Ohana” taken from the Disney movie, Lilo and Stich. It means Family and Family is what we cherish. We have always tried to install in you three main things: 1. To always be polite, courteous and well mannered 2. To be respectful of others even though they may have an alternate opinion. (My father used to say that I had to remember that I had twice as many ears as my mouth - so listen twice as much, as you speak) 3. If you make a commitment to something see it through to its completion or fruition. Mum and I believe in the quote that it does take a village to raise a child. Being a part of the Noosa com-

munity, especially with the Noosa Dolphins Rugby Club and the Noosa Surf Life Saving club (and the whole surf lifesaving fraternity), this has been truly evident and we are thankful to all who have guided, coached, managed and mentored you all. We also believe in this quote from Sir Donald Bradman: “When considering the stature of an athlete or for that ma er any person, I set great store in certain qualities which I believe to be essential in addition to skill. They are that the person conducts his or her life with dignity, with integrity, courage, and perhaps most of all, with modesty. These virtues are totally compatible with pride, ambition and competitiveness.” We both endeavoured to provide you with the conﬁdence to dream and at the same time necessary tools, skills and support to realise those dreams.

Love always, Dad.

I’m writing this to two of the most precious people in my life, my two children, Neve and Huey. On June 23, 2007, I was blessed with the entrance into the world of my gorgeous daughter Neve in Dorchester, Dorset. It’s a day I’ll never forget for a few reasons. I had always been a macho kind of guy and never cried, not even when my grandfather, who was like my father, died. When Neve arrived I burst into uncontrollable tears and she opened a world of emotions I never knew I had. I had wondered if I was a robot at times and, thankfully, she taught me I wasn’t. Now I cry with pride and happiness whenever they do something, even coming last at something. When I was climbing in the Everest region in 2012 to get my world record back from the Germans for the highest gig I had a clear premonition of giving Neve a li le sibling and a boy popped into my head. Again, we didn’t know what we were having and, on March 1 last year, Huey was born at Tooting Hospital in South West London.

Having built an orphanage in Nepal and a free creative education school in London, I was already on the path of wanting to help as many children as I could before Neve was born but they have both opened a door in me that has spurred me on to not only achieve what my heart set out to achieve but to also make them proud and be the best dad I possibly can be. What advice would I want to say to my children? I would say always follow your heart and always think of others who need help and aren’t as fortunate as you. Don’t take advantage of or judge anyone and always see people’s positives before their negatives and always try and keep a positive frame of mind. There’s an old, true saying, “If you have nothing good to say about someone, don’t say it at all.” There are always people less fortunate than us and a wealth of good friends and health is way more valuable than a healthy bank balance. A lifestyle is all about what you’ve got, not what you’ve given or could give. Mountains are there to be climbed but also respected and admired and every high peak will then lead to a valley. Lessons learnt and determination are what gets you to the next peak. I will be proud of you no ma er what directions you choose in life, especially if you turn out to be as good as Suzanne Vega, Evonne Goolagong Cawley, George Best, Elvis Presley, Eric Cantana, Nick Cave or even me - tall order, haha! Seriously, I will always be there for you as will your mother, unconditionally with every ounce of passion we both own. It is a true blessing having you both in my life and I didn’t know what love was or that it was possible to love someone more than me for that ma er. Now I see the sun, not just for warmth but the beauty you set free in me to see so much more than I ever had before. When life is crashing all around me, I know all I have to do is take a deep breath and think of you both and how lucky I am to have you. Everything else then seems tame and put into perspective. Thank you both for making me a be er person, as has your mother; I will spend every day striving to be the best dad I can be. This has been wri en for Father’s day but for me every day is Father’s Day!!!

Noosa musician Oz Bayldon is the founder of the international charity Music4children and holds the world record for the highest ever pop concert - on Mount Everest. He has two children: Neve, seven, and Huey, 16 months.

Colin Brown The registrar of Noosa Magistrates Court and session clerk of St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Tewantin, has a daughter, Hannah, four-anda-half, and a son Harrison, eight months.

Dear Hannah and Harrison, First of all I want to say that I love you and you are both a precious gift from God that your Mummy and I will always cherish. I hope that I can be someone you will always look up to and I pray I can be a good example for you. Whilst you are young I hope you will have fun as kids should. Do not be afraid to get dirty or climb trees. If you scrape your knee, always remember to pick yourself up and try again. Some of my favourite memories of childhood were playing outdoors all day long with your Uncle Kenneth. As you grow up, school will get harder. However, as long as you try your hardest, I will always be proud of you. Remember to always use your manners and to respect other people. Friends and peers may try to get you to do things that you know are wrong. I ask you to stop and think about the consequences for everyone. You will make mistakes from time to time. However, if you learn from them you will continue to grow. I will endeavour to provide you with every opportunity possible where I can to allow you to follow your dreams. I ask though that you remember ‘what you get out of life is what you put into it.’ I look forward to watching you grow.

Love always, Your Dad, Colin

THE SCENE

TOURIST PLAN FOR 19 CENTURY MILL POINT SITE JIM FAGAN Swamp box and blue gums dominate the glade where 43 adults and children are at peace. Knee high setaria grass covers where they lie and the only recognition that this pitifully forlorn place is a graveyard is a rock chiselled with the words “in memory of early European settlers buried at Mill Point cemetery.”

Bruce Creswell on the site of what remains of a heritage farmhouse near Mill Point

There are no headstones. Some are stored in a Wildlife Service rangers’ hut at Elanda but who knows where the rest are. There is also a list of names on a glassed-in board mounted on a timber post. The ages of the 30 children make sad reading. There is a bid now underway, however, to restore the area. The Cooroora Historical Society and Noosa Museum want to develop the once thriving and now desolate 19th century se lement and timber mill site at Mill Point, Lake Cootharaba, as a tourist-must for locals and visitors.

Along with spokesman for the project, Bruce Cresswell, I visited the cemetery and the timber mill site which, according to Bruce, was one of the most successful timber mills in the Cooloola area. “It’s recognised as having State signiﬁcance by the National Trust and the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) but it has all but disappeared into our history with only a few relics on the surface. It has now returned to nature yet it is vital in our life today as it is a place where we can learn about and honour our pioneers.” On-site heritage plaques describe life in Mill Point, a once bustling community of about 500 with houses, shops including a butcher, hotel,

school and the saw mill. One dated 1883 describes a le er home by Englishman John Callaghan. “I understand what slab humpys are now. They are right enough in the summer but not so pleasant when the nights are very cold. Anyone who has seen Australian scrub have no idea of its grandeur. The timber seems endless. I have been a labourer, a sawdust man, a ﬁrewood man and, lastly, I was water dog, that is ge ing the logs out of the rafts in the river and hauling them up into the mill with a crane. It was a nice cool job for the summer for when you were too hot you could take a swim.” Social life was active. A report reproduced from the Gympie Times in 1886 says, “A concert was held here on Tuesday evening. The performance was commenced by an overture very brilliantly played by Mrs Morrison who subsequently sang “To the Woods” and “Love’s Request.” Mrs Winne , our schoolteacher, sang “You’ll Remember Me” and “Watching for the Footsteps” in her usual good style. The evening wound up with a social dance at which all thoroughly enjoyed themselves.” In 2004 community concerns about the future of the site prompted the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, EPA, Noosa Council and Queensland University to collaborate on a detailed survey of the site. Its report described how in 1869 the saw

fight against

cancer

ISOBEL COLEMAN

Imagine this. You have just moved – not just house, but country. You’ve arrived in Australia, really only knowing your immediate family. And then you ﬁnd out you have cancer. Most people would collapse in a heap – but not Noosa resident Ena Murphy. “What would have been the point of that? It wouldn’t have helped,” said the cancer survivor. When YLM called Ena she was busy clearing up after a fundraising sausage sizzle at Bunnings for the Noosa Branch of the Cancer Council. She does a lot for the Cancer Council, and for the Red Cross, but doesn’t like to dwell on that. Ena arrived in Australia from New Zealand with her husband and son in 2004. She had started to feel unwell before the move but doctors couldn’t ﬁnd anything wrong. By the time she arrived here, she was very unwell. And in April of that year, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. “It was a huge shock and I was a bit naive about it all, really,” she said. “But my new GP was amazing and acted very quickly. They took out my ovaries and found the cancer.” This was followed by a hysterectomy and chemotherapy. “But I’m so bonny now! I’m always a pre y happy person, and I had the support of my

husband and son and his wife, and I have my faith. “There was never really any discussion about whether I’d pull through. My son just said, well, it’s curable isn’t it? And my husband said we’d get through it together. And we did.” Just recently you might have spo ed Ena out and about selling ﬂowers and merchandise for Daﬀodil Day. And in a few days she will once again be part of the Spirit of Noosa team, taking part in the 2014 Relay for Life. “There’s a big group of us that does it – this will be my second one walking. Our team leader is Jan Ba y – she lost her mum to cancer. Her mum was only 59. “The Relay for Life is a very moving thing to do, especially when they light all the candles.”

walk is timed as it is, to try and represent the journey of a cancer sufferer. “It’s hard to start off with, but then you get into a pa ern and it doesn’t seem too bad. But as you get into the early hours of the morning, you just want to stop and give up but you have to keep going. “I found that first Relay, that journey, very cathartic in dealing with my grief over my parents. “The candle lighting ceremony is very special. You write a message on a bag and the candle is placed inside and they keep them burning all night. “I got involved through working at Laguna. Kellie Drinnan organises a team every year and Laguna is Carolyn Wray very community-minded. We do a few different things, like Telecross.’ Set up by the Red Cross, Telecross provides daily calls to elderly or infirm people who may be isolated. “We do it from work every day, between 8.30 and 9am. We make four or five calls each. It may not be a long call but we just check to make sure they are okay.” The 2014 Noosa Relay For Life will be held at Sunshine Beach State High, on September 6 (3pm) to 7 (9am). Relay For Life is a unique event where the community comes together in an amazing show of strength, camaraderie and goodwill to create hope for a cancer-free future. Teams of up to 15 people keep a baton moving for 18 hours in a relay-style walk or run overnight, all in an effort to support the one in two Queenslanders affected by cancer in their lifetime. Entry is $15 for youths and $20 for adults, which includes a polo shirt and breakfast at the event. All funds raised go to Cancer Council Queensland. Anyone wanting to join the local fight against cancer or find out more about Relay For Life can visit www.relayforlife.org.au or phone the Fundraising Hotline 1300 65 65 85.

CAROLYN'S STORY Carolyn Wray is the Senior Property Manager at Laguna Real Estate and she, too, will be walking on September 6 and 7. It will be her fourth Relay for Life. “I lost both my parents to cancer, in 2002 and 2006. The ﬁrst Relay I did was at Kawana and my brothers sponsored me a handsome sum of money if I walked the whole thing, from 3pm through to 9am the next day,” Carolyn told YLM. “I got to within 20 minutes of completing!

World-class teams head to Noosa THE INTERNATIONAL RUGBY BOARD HAS ANNOUNCED THAT NOOSA HAS BEEN CHOSEN TO HOST THIS YEAR’S PRESTIGIOUS OCEANIA SEVENS TOURNAMENT. Teams from 12 nations, including Pacific powerhouses New Zealand, Australia, Fiji and Samoa, will be spending up to a week on the Sunshine Coast in October for the event, which will form the centrepiece of this year’s Noosa International Sevens festival. New Zealand’s world champions will travel to Noosa to take part in the men’s tournament for the very first time. There will also be a seven-team women’s tournament, with the national squads from Australia, Cook Islands, Fiji, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa and Tonga all confirmed. Being selected to host the tournament is another remarkable achievement for the Noosa Dolphins Rugby Club, which last year demonstrated its capabilities when it brought the British and Irish Lions to the Sunshine Coast in the final week of their Australian tour. “The club, its members and the people of Noosa proved they can meet the needs and expectations of world-class sporting organisations and we’ll do it again in 2014,” said Event Director Dene Brooks. Organisers have already booked hundreds of rooms at resorts and hotels throughout Noosa for the teams, support crews and rugby officials who will descend on the Sunshine Coast for the week leading up to the festival, which runs from October 3 to 5.

After 37 years in the theatre as an award-winning actor, producer and everyone else who’s involved in a live performance, Stephen Moore knows his way around a stage.

Stephen Moore with three of “Jerry's Girls"from left, Margaret Courtney, Julie Fullerton, and Melony Brests

It’s also clear he knows his way around the box office as he was selling tickets for “Jerry’s Girls” when I called to see him. “Liza has volunteered to look after things while we talk,” he said as he handed over the job of looking after the queue of patrons to Liza Park, Noosa Arts president. Stephen, who doubles as theatre office manager, is director of the Broadway hit show which previews its season on Thursday, at Noosa Arts Theatre at Weyba Road, Noosaville. It was his idea to stage the musical, which honours the work of award-winning composer, Jerry Herman. “I saw it in the 80s at the Footbridge Theatre in Sydney. It starred Marcia Hines, Deborah Byrne, Jeannie Li le and Judi Connelli. I remember it as being full of great songs and a wonderful review of the composer’s life. “There are 36 songs, some dramatic, not all froth and bubble. Audiences will see the breadth of this composer’s work. It is interesting when you see the juxtaposition of everything he’s done - ballads, comic songs, anthems from shows like ‘Hello Dolly’ and ‘Mame.’ There are heartfelt songs in there as well. I particularly like the way we’re treating a song called, ’TheBest of Times Is Now’ from ‘La Cage aux Folles. We’ve taken it back to a slower tempo.” Stephen has 11 singers, including performers well known to Noosa audiences like Margaret Courtney, Synda Turnbull and Ronja Londmark, and says he is presenting the work more as a revue than a cabaret. “I have a wonderful cast and they’re producing the goods. We’re giving it an ensemble feel with people presenting individual songs.” Born in Sydney, Stephen, 55, says he had no particular training in the arts as a youngster. “There was no such thing as speech and drama at my school, just the annual concert and the expectation of performing. I pulled back from it as it affected my school work. “My interest in theatre blossomed after I left school when a local priest started a parish drama group. At first, I was the nonspeaking spear carrier in the back row but it led to speaking and leading roles and I learned the basics from very experienced people. I also went to acting school and did a play called “Charley’s Aunt” with an Eastern Suburbs group called the Club Theatre and I got involved with them while I was in Sydney.” Stephen studied architecture and structural engineering at university but decided in his second year that it wasn’t for him. He then worked for 11 years with an international firm of consultants drafting structural bridge design. He came here in 1989 with his late partner, who wanted to retire in Noosa.

population is slowly growing. Since I arrived 25 years ago, it’s maybe not doubled but it’s close. “We also have constantly improving standards and the wish to put on the best show possible each time plus the recent renovation of this theatre, the ease of booking through the internet and things like that. There’s never one factor that a racts or propels people to a production or a theatre but it is a li le bit of everything.” What’s ahead for Stephen Moore? “I suppose it’s ﬁnding the next project that challenges me, whether it’s a multiple characterisation or ge ing into the head of a particular character. If anything I would love to go back and recreate the characters I have played because of what I know now. Also, I suppose directing all those women successfully in Jerry’s Girls is a personal challenge.” I asked him: “So what is it like working with 11 feisty, talented female actors?” He held his hands high in mock surrender and smiled, “Next question.”

“Within days of arriving, there was a call for another actor for a play. I auditioned and got the role. I saw it as great way to meet people.” Stephen spent time with Noosa Arts then, after seven years with the Indee Theatre at Eumundi, plus a couple of productions at Lind Lane in Nambour, Stephen set up his own company, theatre s, which worked out of the backroom of Paradiso at Noosa Junction, as well as the Bu er Factory at Cooroy and places like Gympie and Forest Glen. Then it was back to Noosa Arts where he has been greatly involved ever since. Recent stage appearances include “Inﬂuence,” “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “Travelling North,” and “The Fantasticks.” Over the years he has Stephen as Ed Carmichael in You Can't Take won 14 Best Actor, two Best Director and two It With You in 1988 Adjudicator Awards. in terms of the growth of the “When I came here individual and the growth of and you joined a group theatre on the Coast.” you stayed with that He is optimistic about group. You didn’t do the future of the theatre in anything with any other Noosa. “What’s wondergroup because of the ful here is that most of the loyalty factor. That’s all people living here have broken down now. People moved from a capital city are moving between and they are used to having companies and producaccess to theatres.

Despite that impending birthday, Joy plans to keep on fundraising well into the future. “Age is just a number and as long as you have good health, you keep going. I’ve been really blessed.” These days Joe is taking things a li le slower. “Joe has always been so wonderful, so supportive, he’s a very kind man. Very family-orientated.” As well as their four children, Joy and Joe have seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren, with another two on the way. And as for that birthday? “I’ll be 90.

THE SCENE

LIVE-IN PEOPLE AT JUNCTION WILL ADD TO ‘WOW’ FACTOR! JIM FAGAN Local real estate agent Graham Smith believes a permanent resident population will also help breathe new life back into Noosa Junction by creating a “sense of vibrancy, a sense of ‘place’ and a community atmosphere that is used 24/7.” YLM asked Graham, who has worked in planning, architectural and design practices in Asia, NZ and Australia and who lives behind the Junction, to comment on the new and exciting move by the Noosa Junction Association to present the Junction as a premier business and entertainment hub. He said: “The Junction is a collection of mainly single level retail and commercial tenancies. What’s also needed is a complete rethink re the zoning mix. Consider the success of hundreds of small towns and villages here in Australia and overseas. There is a mix, often an eclectic mix, of retail, commercial and, most importantly, residential. “These various uses are often housed in a juxtaposition of buildings with the retail providing activation Graham Smith is a real estate agent and heads up the sales division at street level, comwithin Salt 4 Property. During the past 12 years he has worked in mercial immediately above and Noosa real estate, including Hastings Street, and has lived in and then residential owned property in Verrierdale, Tewantin and Noosaville. He now above that. lives at Noosa Heads.

“Many people complain that Noosa is becoming too staid and conservative and is lacking in the variety of experiences that attracted many of us here in the first place. Graham Smith

“Imagine the Junction with a collection of creative industries, incubator businesses, ‘pop-up’ retail and a true village square to encourage active and passive recreation. Motor vehicles would be welcome, as would bicycles and pedestrians as all would lend to the vibrancy.” He said, “The driving force behind this change would be the residential component. To generate this change and to get the interest of existing property owners, you need to change the zoning so as to allow buildings to say four levels and a mixed use that must include residential – all without onerous MCU and Impact Assessment applications. “If these owners can see a potential ﬁnancial upside from re-development, it will surely happen. “Many people complain that Noosa is becoming too staid and conservative and is lacking in the variety of experiences that a racted many of us here in the ﬁrst place. “The Junction represents a perfect geographic opportunity to provide a sense of ‘place’ and an artistic and creative hub combined with a residential product that will appeal to a younger age demographic and even those of us who wish we were still young!” he said.

DRIVE

This cheeky Fiat takes Noosa in its stride ISOBEL COLEMAN There are small cars – and then there are small cars with big personalities!! And that’s exactly what the Fiat 500 is. It’s funny how a handful of li le cars, like the VW Beetle, the Mini and Fiat have captured our hearts over the years – so much so that all three have made a comeback, using modern technology but managing to keep that original cuteness. Thanks to Cricks Noosa, I was lucky enough to take out the new Fiat 500c Lounge for the day. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect, being more of a muscle car girl. But I loved it! And while it may look small from the outside, once you’re inside, with the roof open, it feels spacious and breezy. The Fiat 500 Lounge is available as a convertible or hard top. And while the style of the convertible is much the same as the old ragtop, the technology is right up to date. The special electric folding system is simple to use – just the press of a bu on – and oﬀers three diﬀerent positions. Something else that catches your eye immediately is the interior. The 500 Lounge interior is available in black or ivory and features seats upholstered in perforated leather and high-tech fabric. The dash is simple, fun and quirky, and gives the car a very individual feel. And even be er, for an oldschooler like me, the Fiat 500 incorporates a dualogic transmission – in layman’s terms, that means you have the option of automatic or manual. Changeover is simple and

I loved the wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The Lounge has a 0.9 MultiAir Turbo petrol engine and is perfect for an area like Noosa. It’s nippy, super easy to park and shouts ‘take me for a cappuccino’! In fact, using from as li le as 3.6 litres per 100km, you’ll have plenty of change leftover for treats. The Fiat 500 range also includes the 1.2 petrol Pop and the 1.4 petrol 500S, with prices at Cricks Noosa starting from $17,000. It’s a good price when you consider you are ge ing true Italian engineering. And when you look at some of the inclusions – leather steering wheel, Dualdrive electric power steering, airconditioning with pollen ﬁlter, seven airbags, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), radio/CD/MP3 player with six speakers, handsfree Blue&Me system with Bluetooth technology and more. Fiat has managed to do something very clever with the 500 – they have produced a car that will a ract drivers of all ages, and that’s unusual. It’s fast and ﬂirty for the fun lovers, but compact and controllable enough for those who need to take life a li le slower. It comes in Metallic Diva Pink, Sky Blue, Metallic Sweet Purple and

Sole Yellow for those who want to standout from the crowd; Cappuccino Beige, Carrara Grey and Vesuvio Black for the more conservative, with plenty of other choices in-between. What’s more, going back to my original point, Fiat managed

something that the new Beetle and the new Mini didn’t. The original Beetle sold for 999 Reichsmark – the 1997 remake was close to $30,000. In 1959, the Mini cost a few pounds but 40 years later it, too, was around the $30,000 mark. The Fiat 500, as I said, starts at $17,000. You do the maths. Pop into Cricks Noosa in the Autopark, Lionel Donovan Drive, Noosaville, and test drive one for yourself.

“THE NIGHT I PLAYED WITH SATCHMO” JIM FAGAN “I’ve had some big moments in jazz but the night I played with Louis Armstrong was the biggest.” Trumpeter Bob Barnard AM has dominated Australian jazz for six decades and made many national and international tours, playing at major festivals and jazz clubs. He was once described by the ABC’s jazz pioneer Clement Semmler as “one of the best mainstream trumpet players in the world.” He is coming to Noosa for the Noosa Jazz Party, which starts on Friday. He made his first visit in 1994 and he has been a regular performer since. Last week he recalled for YLM how the session with the revered US jazzman happened. “It was in 1963 and I was at Sydney Airport with Graeme Bell and his All Stars when he arrived. In those days you got off the plane and walked across the tarmac to get to the terminal. Security as we know it today was pre y much non-existent. “Satchmo just took out his trumpet and joined us on the tarmac. A radio station recorded it and I’ve still got the tape.” Bob made his first record when he was 16, playing with his brother Len’s band, and says his playing style was that of a “brash young man.” He celebrates his 81st birthday this year (November 24) and says he is “a bit more sophisticated now, I’m more about the music. I’m playing okay and the lip’s good. I’m slowing a

bit, though. Can’t drink as much!” He rates the Jazz Party as “one of the best in the world. Some festivals offer different styles of music but the Noosa style is all from the same school and we get along fine together. It’s a party, really. “It also gives me chance to play with two guitars and a bass which is unusual as it’s normally one guitar bass and drums. I heard Ruby Braff, that wonderful American trumpet player, do this and I loved the sound of it. I’ve been doing it ever since. I only get one chance a year at it and that’s at Noosa.” FLASH MOB TO LAUNCH JAZZ PARTY Noosa Jazz Club president and Jazz Party organiser Richard Stevens says Bob Barnard is one of more than 30 top line international and national jazz musos appearing at Bicentennial Hall, Sunshine Beach, this weekend. “French singer Tricia Evy was fantastic last year and she is returning. We also have Peter Gaudion, Geoff Bull and Shuffle Club who are well known to our jazz lovers. “We also have something else - a gleaming white, new Yamaha grand piano. We managed to raise some money - quite a bit, actually - and our musos and the fans will enjoy the sound. “To set the mood for the Jazz Party we’ve

had bands performing all week in places like Hastings Street, Noosaville and Tewantin. This Friday starting at 10.30am all the musicians will be at Sunshine Beach for a ﬂash mob session. There’s also a free family concert on Sunday at Webb Park, Sunshine Beach, next to the surf club. It starts at 2.30pm and goes for two hours. “Last year we started performing at local restaurants and the idea is gradually taking on. This year we have our bands at Fratellini’s, Café le Monde, the River Deck and Sunshine Beach Surf Club. “We try every year to give the Jazz Party a new and exciting look and feel. Bob Barnard has been to more jazz festivals than Louis Armstrong has had hit records and that’s saying something. If he says “we’re one of the best in the world, it means a lot.” Noosa Jazz Party runs from Friday to Monday and is sponsored by YLM and presented by Noosa Heads Jazz Club.

From sunrise to sunset -

Renae Ayris

shines as the new face of holster There is no doubt that holster is one of Noosa’s best success stories. Australia’s must-have jelly sandal brand can be found in stores world-wide. It’s a global phenomenon! But owners Natalie Miller and Ben Nothling remain proudly loyal to their home town, with holster’s head office and retail store based in Gateway Drive, Noosaville. Equally impressive is the fact that all their marketing campaigns are shot locally in Noosa, showcasing the stunning beauty of our home to a global audience. And it’s exciting times for the brand. Former Miss Universe Australia 2012, Renae Ayris, has become the official ambassador for the Spring Summer 2014 collection, Sunrise to Sunset. Renae steps into the holster sandals of previous ambassador, Danni Minogue, continuing to embody the true definition of an Australian beauty and encapsulating the essence of holster. “It’s such an honour to be the fresh face of holster and to be a spokesperson for a brand that I believe in and that I love so much. It’s really exciting to be on board and to have the opportunity to showcase such an amazing new colourful and stylish collection,” said Renae. It’s clear that husband and wife team, Natalie and Ben love living here. In fact, designer Natalie took inspiration from her surroundings for the new season collection. “Watching a sunrise or sunset in my hometown Noosa is my favourite time of the day. It is a breathtaking moment in time where I draw a lot of my inspira-

tion. This collection is designed to celebrate those magical moments from dawn to dusk in style,” she said. ‘Sunrise to Sunset’ showcases distinctive holster elements, including gli er ﬁnishes, glamrock studs, safari-inspired prints and luxurious handcrafted glass beaded trims. A full spectrum of colours from bold berry tones to aquatic hues, metallics and neutrals ensure there is a holster for all occasions.

The new collection will have you sparkling in the sunlight and d shimmering in the moonlight through the eﬀortless beauty, femininity and versatility of the designs, making holster the ultimate summer footwear choice for or Australian women. And of course, holster doesn’t ’t just cater for adults. The brand also adds plenty of sparkle to your child’s footwear, too, and it’s perfect for kids to wear from morning

tto bedtime and every precious moment in between. The latest range combines trendse ing style, practicality and tic comfort for pint com sized feet. As a mum herself, m Natalie understands what parents are looking for and what children will respond to, ensuring holster produces a collection of wearable,

supportive, super cute designs for the li le ones. An exciting addition to the Spring Summer 2014 collection is the ﬁrst ever holster for boys, the ‘Rascal.’ They will love this ultra-comfortable style and, at an aﬀordable price point, holster’s children’s collection will have boys and girls stepping out in style this summer. holster footwear is available via www.holsterfashion.com, select retailers and David Jones stores nationally, and at 6/55 Gateway Drive, Noosaville.

Performers from all corners

Before heading to Nepal, the Sunshine Coast artist will be taking to the stage at the Noosa Jazz Festival from September 4-7 with her ragtime band. “To be able to perform on a jazz cruise down the Noosa River – and then a few weeks later take to the stage in a country that is home to the highest mountains in the world, is pretty special,” Ange said.

on one aspect of reducing fat. Papilio pretty much covers the whole gambit of softening the fat, releasing the fat, mobilising the fat and having the body in a state that pretty much guarantees constant fat burning. We are regularly seeing people burn over 3000 calories in a 30-minute treatment. The big benefit of Papilio is that blood circulation is concentrated in the lower half of the body, where most want to lose fat. So many women go on a diet and lose weight from the top half, not the bottom half. Clients absolutely love the treatments and the results. Very early in their program they are telling us how exciting it is to fit into clothes they had outgrown. Individual programs are designed to achieve the specific goals of the client, within their budget. To gain an understanding of how the Papilio System works, we are offering a free introductory one hour session so the whole program can be experienced and a tailored plan given to the participant.

Papilio is equally relevant to men, as well as women.

GET THAT SPRING BACK INTO YOUR STEP ERIN YARWOOD BECAUSE SPRING HAS OFFICIALLY SPRUNG! AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHEN EVERYBODY STARTS TO PANIC ABOUT FITTING BACK INTO THAT BIKINI! Good intentions tend to go out the window in winter so if you’ve been snuggling up on the couch in your onesie, drinking hot chocolate and gorging yourself on your Nana’s home-made potato bake instead of keeping active and eating healthy, that’s okay. Not ideal, but okay. Your body will forgive you, eventually. So dust off your runners and work out an action plan! The trick is though, if you have been a little inactive, is not to overdo it straight away. You don’t want injuries and you definitely don’t want to turn yourself off exercising completely. We are blessed to live here on the Sunshine

Coast, with so many beautiful places to enjoy right at our fingertips. If you’re not a fan of the gym, that’s fine! You don’t need to lift heavy weights to stay fit. Get outdoors and get active!

HAY FEVER NOT TO BE SNEEZED AT

BYRON HILLIER

THE FIRST WINDS OF SPRING BRING CHANGE, AND CHANGE OFFERS A CHANCE FOR NEW BEGINNINGS AND GROWTH. Carried on the spring wind are the pollens from blooming flowers and plants that stir our immune systems into a frenzy. Hay fever affects more than 16 per cent of Australians and this is the time of year it often presents. Hay fever refers to allergic rhinitis, which is an acute inflammation of the nasal passages. Symptoms vary from person to person but commonly include sneezing; stuffy or runny nose; itchy eyes and nose; watery, red, puffy eyes; blocked nose and sometime blocked ears; itchy sore throat and a post nasal drip. Hay fever can also aggravate symptoms of asthma and interfere with sleep, leading to tiredness and decreased energy. According to the latest research from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, hay fever and allergic rhinitis increased by at least 20 per cent between 2008 and 2012. Hay fever sufferers need not suffer any longer, as safe and

effective treatments are available. One such treatment is acupuncture and Chinese medicine, which for thousands of years has been successfully treating immune disorders, including hay fever. A recent study conducted at RMIT found acupuncture was effective in relieving the symptoms of inflammatory nasal allergies. The article was published in the latest Medical Journal of Australia and showed that patients still had a reduction in symptoms 12 weeks after treatment. From a Chinese medicine perspective, treatment focuses on both symptoms that are present and the underlying condition that has allowed the body to have a heightened sensitivity. Rather than putting up with these irritating symptoms or holding them at bay with numerous products that afford only a few hours relief, choose a plan of treatment that not only relieves the condition but strengthens the body’s defence.

And you wonder why not all pizzas taste the same! Your mouth will be watering even before you take the first bite, when you visit Noosa’s newest eatery, Italian Marina Pizza Restaurant, at Noosa Marina, Tewantin. The restaurant’s colour scheme alone reflects a Tuscan pale e, with splashes of olive green, warm wood and crisp blue. But the delicious aromas will whisk you away to Italy before you can say Neapolitan! Italian Marina Pizza is the brainchild of new Tewantin resident, Michelangelo Cecconi. And on Friday, September 5, from 5pm to 10.30pm, he will hold a grand opening event, with free tastings of chef’s top pizzas and dishes, straight from the wood-fire oven, for invited guests.

Michelangelo with David Berry from Matakana, New Zealand. David was Michelangelo's first online client for the new venture and popped in to say hello, while holidaying in Noosa Bandstand Cafe, in Sydney’s Darlinghurst. Set within the stunning surrounds of Green Park, this 1925 heritage building has been lovingly transformed into a seriously good eatery. But while The Bandstand Cafe will continue under his strict guidance, Michelangelo felt the time was right for some changes – including location. “And what could be be er than the Noosa Shire? Davide [Italian-born chef Davide Benati] will be using Noosa’s best local produce to create astonishing dishes, incredible flavours and tasty fresh pasta, following traditional Tuscany recipes,” Michelangelo told YLM. “We are creating a great atmosphere, which will become unique when added to the uninterrupted view over the Noosa River.” Michelangelo has worked for years in restaurants, coffee shops and venues, performing many different jobs, starting from being a dishwasher, then pizza chef, cook, barista, and waiter. You could say he knows the industry inside out!

ICSEP

Chef Davide was born and raised in Modena, and began his career at age of 13, working in his father’s restaurant. Over the years he has worked in some of the top restaurants in Italy, including the 3-star Michelin-rated Florentine Enoteca Pinchiorri. In Australia, he has worked at top venues, including Il Lago in Baulkham Hill, NSW, and Noosa’s popular Lindoni’s. Davide and his team at Italian Marina will work from an open kitchen, so guests can see their choice being made right before their eyes! He promises nothing less than authentic 32cm pizza, made with double zero flour, a lighter crust, tasty Buffalo mozzarella, juicy organic San Marzano tomatoes and other mouth-watering ingredients. Gluten-free isn’t a problem, and feel free to ask for the ‘special’ as you won’t be disappointed! “Or try a new flavour every time you come - but always remember to leave room for one of our house-made traditional

Italian desserts,” Michelangelo said. Another plus at Italian Marina is that there will be no unpleasant surprises when you get the bill. The price range is quite simple – and ﬁxed. All pizzas – and remember they are 32cm – are $21; home-made pastas are $19 for entree and $24 for main; an antipasto selection is just $13; non pasta/pizza meals are $32; desserts are $12, and it’s just $8 for a kid’s meal. You’ll also discover a great selection of good value red, white and sparkling wines from various regions of Italy, Australia and NZ, plus a range of beers. Italian Marina will also accept reservations for large private parties and, with plenty of available parking, you don’t need to worry about your car. Don’t feel like driving? Why not catch the Ferry and enjoy a cruise along Noosa River, stopping at Noosa Marina and walking to the restaurant?

THERE’S NOTHING ROTTEN ABOUT THESE LITTLE BEAUTIES Nothing says summer more than sweet, juicy tomatoes – a fruit, not a vegetable, that can be used in so many ways. The plant is actually a member of the deadly nightshade family and tomatoes were erroneously thought to be poisonous by the early Europeans who were suspicious of the bright shiny fruit. Be aware, the leaves are poisonous. The Aztecs, Mexicans, Spanish and Italians were more adventurous, however, and quickly discovered the health

and culinary benefits of cooking with tomatoes. Incredibly there are around 7,500 tomato varieties, but the most popular are Heirloom, plum, beefsteak, cherry and grape tomatoes. Colours range from red, orange and yellow to stripey and almost black. Tomatoes contain the carotene lycopene, one of the most powerful natural antioxidants, and are also an excellent source of vitamin C, biotin, molybdenum, vitamin K, copper, potassium, manganese, dietary fibre, vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), vitamin B6, folate, niacin, vitamin E, and phosphorus.

METHOD Heat oven to 225°. Combine tomatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, herbs, vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste in a mixing bowl. Arrange tomatoes in rows on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for one hour. Cool to room temperature. Place in four half-pint canning jars and add the remaining olive oil to cover tomatoes in each jar. Tightly seal the jars and refrigerate. Note: Olive oil will solidify in the refrigerator, but this won’t affect the tomatoes. The oil will re-liquify at room temperature.

Projected price growth? When it comes to understanding the property market, especially on the Sunshine Coast, much-respected commentator Michael Matusik is one of the best.

There really is a lot of nonsense written about projected property price growth these days. The industry too often talks of percentage gains (or losses), rather than actual results ie actual growth or fall in dollar amounts. Take, for example, recent price growth projections about select outer lying suburbs across several of our capital cities. Two of these investment ‘hot spots’ were on the north-side of Brisbane and the one that caught my eye was Murrumba Downs. At present, Murrumba Downs has a median house price of $419,000 and it has been projected (on what basis one truly wonders – but that is a topic for another day) that prices are set to grow by over nine per cent per annum over the next ﬁve years. Hmmmm, let’s assume 10 per cent per an-

period since the early 1980s, between 2001 and num. This means that within five years the me2004, that double digit price growth lasted dian value in Murrumba Downs would be over more than a year or two. $674,000 – an increase of $255,000 or over 60 There must be something seriously major per cent.

Chart 1 annual dollar increases (or declines) you get a completely diﬀerent and more accurate picture of what is happening with housing values across the country. See chart 2. A summary of our second chart shows that over the past 30 years, Australian house values have been increasing, on average, by $16,000 per annum. The ﬁrst chart shows, when taking the longer view, that home values have changed on average by 7.2 per cent per annum over the last 30 years. As one would expect, growth – measured as a percentage – is declining as values rise. It is impossible for prices to keep on rising by the amount often spruiked. The maths, as suggested in the Murrumba Downs example, just doesn’t stack up.

THE FUTURE? Who knows what the next decade holds, but a very optimistic result might be average house price increases of around $20,000 per annum across the country, which in turn, would equate to around three per cent growth each year. Ignore the big calls on percentage price growth – they have hardly ever come true, and again, they are nearly impossible given today’s high prices. Be er still, challenge those who release

these forecasts. Ask why values would increase by over $50,000 per annum – as in the case for Murrumba Downs. Also, challenge those media outlets that regurgitate this malarkey. We believe that post this cycle (2008 to 2015) Australia’s market is likely to slow and maybe dramatically; with those buying ‘generic’ property in the hope of strong overall price growth likely to be disappointed. We don’t envisage double digit percentage price growth (post 2015) in any market or for any Matusik Property Pick project either, for that ma er, let alone in an outlying suburb which already struggles when it comes to housing aﬀordability.

Passion and experience spells success for Jake YLM’s new garden columnist Jake Hazzard may only recently have launched his new business but it follows years of experience, right here on the Sunshine Coast. Jake grew up in the Hinterland on a 15-acre property of rainforest, creeks and waterfalls. Exploring and mucking about in the bush from a young age spawned a love of all things plant life. So it was no surprise that in 2000 he graduated with a bachelor degree in Australian Environmental Studies from Griﬃth University. In 2001 Jake began work-

ing in revegetation projects and became involved in native seed collection and managing native bushcare nurseries, across the Coast. In 2003 he began undertaking vegetation surveys and providing advice to property owners on their vegetation management strategies. Daily encounters with nursery customers, combined with exposure to our stunning coastal landscapes, resulted in a growing passion for garden aesthetics, design and education. He also became very involved with non-proﬁt nurseries and the community – something YLM is also very passionate about. “Coming out of university my dream job was to combine community and the environ-

Before

Creating your We all know that old real estate catch-cry about buying the worst house in the best street! It’s good advice, especially when you discover some forgo en gem that simply requires some TLC. The trouble is, if the house is in a bad way, the garden is probably worse!

perfect paradise

But if you come across a property that only offers a small courtyard, don’t let that put you off. In fact, embrace it! It’s quicker and easier to spruce up and requires less a ention in the future. And often, the worse it is the be er, as you then have a blank canvas on which to create your perfect picture. The first step is to clear away the years of

neglect and see what you are actually working with. For example, below the layer of dirt and weeds you may discover gorgeous old ﬂagstones. Decide which bits you want to preserve and use them to create your theme. Aged stone might inspire a rustic or Tuscan theme, with terraco a pots, weathered stone and rough timber furniture. Modern pavers are probably be er suited to a Mediterranean theme, with white-washed walls and furniture and splashes of colour. Use design magazines and websites to give you ideas and then begin that wonderful search for your ingredients! Scour junkshops and garage sales for quirky items and pre-loved furniture, and garden centres for the perfect plants. And think outside the square when it comes to planting. You could paint up an old wheelbarrow and ﬁll it with herbs or po ed colour, or seek other unusual plant pots, like old watering cans and jars. If space is an issue, buy a cheap old wooden ladder, paint it white and place pots of colour on every rung for an eye-catching centrepiece. Let your imagination run riot and soon you will have your very own piece of paradise, adding pleasure and value to your home.

The team are experts in all things travel, from train trips to coach tours, flights and cruises.

This niche agency incorporates a solo travel club, enabling you to find the best single travel deals - or they can help you share with a stranger to avoid the extra costs. Other benefits include converting your American Express Points to dollars to pay for your holiday and earning Qantas frequent flyer points for the cost of your cruise. A proud member of Helloworld American Express, this team also has partnerships with three cruise wholesalers for exclusive deals - Cruiseco, World Wide Cruise Centre and Cruise Holidays.
