It's all about community Our Local COMMUNITY Sponsors BEAR WITH ME, I’M FEELING A LITTLE NOSTALGIC THIS WEEK! Maybe it’s Jim Fagan’s trip down Memory Lane to Johns Landing, to discover how a pioneering family’s honey business is making a comeback. Don’t you love those old photographs? Do you have any of your family from days gone by in the Shire? We’d love to share them. Maybe I’m feeling nostalgic because of the support YLM is receiving from the community. That neighbourly community spirit may have disappeared from some areas but here in the Shire, it is alive and well. Whether you’ve suffered a family or financial setback, or you are launching a new, truly local publication, our community always rallies around. And one way the community can really help is to try and reduce the amount of plastic in our world and, most importantly, ensure it is properly disposed of. We read

last week about how plastic is poisoning our waterways and oceans and that message has been repeated again this week in stories on pages 10 and 11. Throughout our pages this week are stories about local businesses helping out the community, giving something back.

UPDATE

Time to remember our mates A MEETING FOR THE PROPOSED NOOSA AFGHANISTAN WAR MEMORIAL, MATES MEMORIAL WALK, IS SCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY, JUNE 28, AT 10AM IN THE TEWANTIN CWA HALL ADJACENT TO THE RSL. The purpose of the meeting is for interested parties to discuss the project and to provide input into the eventual design. “Everyone is welcome to come along. We are particularly looking for those who have served in Afghanistan and their extended families so that we can capture their experiences, feelings and emotions for inclusion in this Memorial,” said Steve Drake, President of the Tewantin Noosa RSL Sub Branch. March 21, 2015, will be the first national day of commemoration for the war in Afghanistan in which 40 service men have lost their lives. This memorial will be for those service men and women who have suffered or are still impacted, hence the name. Mates Memorial Walk is a community project initiated by Tewantin Noosa Lions Club and managed and coordinated by the Tewantin Noosa Sub Branch of the RSL. Any returned service personnel, serving members who have served in Afghanistan or their extended families are invited to come along to the meeting. For more information contact Steve Drake on 5447 1981 or email him on armnavair@westnet.com.au

Wayne Hoens from Bendigo bank is joined by Jessi Miller Leanne Walsh and Amy Manning from Sunshine Butterflies with the Puppet Troupe

Bendigo banking on Butterflies The Tewantin Community Bank branch of Bendigo Bank has forged a new partnership with well-known local charity, Sunshine Bu erflies. The bank has sponsored a disability education and awareness program that visits childcare centres and schools around the region, promoting the positive inclusion of children with a disability. This unique program is brought to life by six life-sized puppets, and founder, Leanne Walsh, said the program had been specifically designed to breakdown the confusion and misunderstanding surrounding disability as well as helping kids learn about acceptance, understanding and compassion. “We’re well aware of the large and ongoing role Bendigo Bank plays in our community and I guess, like us, they’re all about giving back. Having Wayne Hoens and his team at the Tewantin Community Bank branch on board is fantastic and their support has already made a big difference in ge ing our message out to a number of child care centres and schools in Noosa,” Leanne said. Earlier this week, Leanne and Wayne took time

to pose with the puppets before the performance at Li le Lambs Early Learning Centre at Good Shepherd Lutheran College in Noosaville. They stayed to watch and enjoy the performance with 48 youngsters. Tewantin Community Bank manager, Wayne Hoens said it was a great opportunity to experience this great way of educating our younger generation firsthand and to help them discover everyone has differences. The puppet show includes sensory activities so children can learn firsthand what it feels like to be hearing, vision or physically impaired. Resources include various distorted glasses and Braille books for vision impairment, ear muffs for hearing impairment, a wheelchair and thick gloves to experience the difficulties in writing, eating and dressing. If you would like to know more about the puppet show or any of the services Sunshine Bu erflies provides, call 5470 2830 or 0416 272 123. You can also email admin@sunshinebu erflies.com.au for further information or go to their website, sunshinebu erfiles.com.au

Minister tells: Survey of homeless in Noosa soon JIM FAGAN Homelessness in Noosa and the Sunshine Coast is very much in the mind of State Housing and Public Works Minister Tim Mander. He wants to know the true figures of people who don’t have a roof over their heads and then he’ll do something about it. The survey on the Coast will start within two months and it will be part of a Queensland regional inquiry, he told Deputy Mayor Bob Abbot’s fundraising luncheon for Noosa’s school chaplains last week at the RACV Resort. “It’s an area in my control and it’s a real challenge because we don’t really know the true ﬁgures of homelessness. We keep working on census ﬁgures that are three years old. “We are going to literally hit the streets, see who is on the streets, see the numbers and, more importantly, see why they are there.

“It won’t be until we get this information and assess the need that we can really put into place the strategies to provide solutions. The whole idea is to have a plan to address the housing and homelessness situation in this region and right across the State. Something which I think is going to work extremely well.” Mr Mander was CEO of the Scripture Union which employs the Chappies before he became an MP and he admi ed the chaplaincy program was a passion of his. “I believe there are extra challenges on young people and many of them find they need someone to speak to but not many have that significant relationship with an adult. If you ask chaplains what is the biggest issue in these kids’ eyes, they often say it is the feeling of there is no one they can talk to and that they can share stuff with and feel they can be heard without judgement.” He said there were 600 chaplains across Queensland schools and when he joined the organisation in 2006 there were 200. “I can’t think of a be er cause or be er value for money than supporting school

chaplains. They are making an investment in our young people which we will see in years to come as these youngsters reach their full potential.” Welcoming Mr Mander, Mr Abbot said the Noosa community with strength and determination had been strong supporters of kids in crisis since 1997. “It is diﬀerent today as the numbers are far greater than when we started. We have a growing population and we have growing pressures on young people. “The pressure of social media just wasn’t there. Young people who are vulnerable can actually be a acked by outsiders in their own home and there are always those kids a acked by people who are closely related. “ He said, “The beauty of the chaplain system is that it is the ﬁrst intervention. These young people, coming out of their childhood and starting to go into their adolescence, can have someone outside their family, or their immediate sphere, to be able to say things to them that no-one else ever has, be able to do things for them that no one has ever done for them.” More on Page 17

Drive safe with Tyrepower SCHOOL HOLIDAYS ARE FAST APPROACHING AND MANY FAMILIES WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO HEADING OFF FOR A BREAK. But while they are sure to remember to pack the tent, the barbecue and the esky, many will forget to check their tyres before they set off. And as simple as that sounds, it could actually make the difference between life and death. Dallas and Allison Flanders of Tyrepower Noosaville understand how critically important tyres are to road safety. “If you are planning a trip, coupled with winter driving conditions, now is a very

good time to have your tyres checked,” Allison said. “They’re the only point of contact between your vehicle and the road, so they are fundamental to handling, braking and responsiveness on the road. In order for your car to operate safely on roads it’s important to ensure the tyres fitted to it are the correct size and type for your car and in good condition.” After 25 years in the local tyre business – and a whole heap of awards - there’s not much that Dallas and Allison don’t know about tyres so to be sure you’re driving safe, drop into Tyrepower Noosaville at 54 Mary Street before you hit the road.

Bees buzz AGAIN FOR

Restdown

HONEY:

Est 1871

Descendant of the pioneer Johns family, Andrea Wytenberg with son Jared

It's 1894 and the Johns Family has just taken over the farm and apiary at Restdown

Andre and Andrea Wytenberg are reviving a pioneer honey industry at John's Landing

JIM FAGAN The bees are busy again at Restdown Honey, bringing a new buzz of honey activity to a Noosa industry which had its beginnings in 1871. And for Andrea Wytenburg, a fourth generation member of the pioneering Johns family, it’s a time of quiet determination as she and husband Andre revive a business owned by her family since 1894. At its height there were about 150 hives in the apiary but two years ago there were only two left on the property run by her father, the late Allan Johns of Restdown, located near Johns Landing. “Before Dad passed away, he said he would be happy if the hives were kept going,” Andrea told me when I met her and her mum, Elvie, at Elvie’s home at Noosa Heads. ‘We’ve built it up to 25 hives and we’re still selling honey from the front of our house in Tewantin. Eventually, when we get a bigger supply of honey we’ll go to the local markets and to Brisbane like they did in the old days. “This summer has been very dry and we’ve been feeding the bees with syrup to keep them going because there wasn’t much pollen around due to the drought and dry conditions. At the moment there is a lot of tea tree blossom around so the bees are working hard and we’ve just taken off the first flow of honey.” The story of Restdown Honey starts in 1871 when early se ler James Smith selected two areas of land, totalling 80 acres, near Johns Landing, establishing them as a farm and an apiary until he sold 23 years later to John Wesley Johns, Andrea’s great, great grandfather,

who continued to sell its fruit, vegetables and honey. The produce was transported by boat on Noosa River to Tewantin and to markets in Brisbane. The bees were flourishing then, as this report from the Tewantin correspondent of the Gympie Times dated August 15, 1895 shows: “Accompanied by a party of five, including two charming young ladies, I made an early start from the township and, after a very agreeable sail up the Noosa River, reached Restdown Orangery and Apiary about eleven o’clock. We had the good fortune to find Mr Johns hard at work packing oranges and he at once volunteered to show us round the place.” Part of the tour included the apiary and the correspondent has this to say: “I was told there are about 150 bee hives and Mr Johns casually remarked that ‘the bees were rather wild just now’ so I declined with thanks his offer to interview them more closely. “He could give me no very definite idea of the amount of honey produced by these industrious insects in the course of twelve months as he has not been sufficiently long in the place to have reliable data to go upon, but it must be considerable. “After thanking Mr Johns for his kindness and bidding him au revoir we got on board and started for home. There was a strong wind blowing and, very unfortunately for me, I was the only one in the boat who could pull and it was not until about three hours later that we stood on Mrs Myles hospitable veranda thoroughly satisfied with our day’s outing.” Elvie then took up the story. “It was hard to get labour during the First War and the farm gradually deteriorated,” she said. “John Wesley died and one of his sons, John Vivian, stayed there and kept the farm produce going for a bit.”

Allan Johns at Restdown in 1992 Originally from Melbourne, Elvie married Allan in 1959. “I didn’t know I was marrying into a pioneer family,” she said. She described how the farm and the apiary remained a “going concern,” recalling how 45 years ago she, Allan and family - Andrea, John and Wendy - would sell honey, watermelons, rock melons and tomatoes at the caravan park at the woods in Hastings Street and on Weyba Road, Noosaville. “I suppose we were the ﬁrst Farmers’ Markets.” In recent years, however, because of Allan’s illness there has been li le activity on the farm and, with only two hives, not much honey has been produced. That’s changing now. There’s a new generation at Restdown ready and determined to bring back a Noosa industry that goes back to the early days of European se lement. Restdown Honey can be bought at 46 Hay Street, Tewantin.

Plastic Oceans SEA WORLD SUPPORT FOR LITTLE Exocetus JIM FAGAN

Sea World has applauded Noosa’s Exocetus Foundation International on its bold and practical initiative to find a way of ridding the world’s oceans of plastic and other pollutants. “Marine pollution is an incredibly pervasive problem and it’s great to have passionate people approaching the problem from all angles,” Belle McCarthy, community engagement oﬃcer of Sea World’s Research & Rescue Foundation, told YLM. Last week we described how a tiny boat called Exocetus, less than two metres long and made from ﬁbreglass and timber, may be the key to ridding the world’s oceans, harbours and waterways of the millions of tons of plastic bags, water bo les, takeaway food packs and other debris dumped 24/7 into the sea. We told how just ge ing Exocetus, named after a Mediterranean

sea “two winged flying fish”, to this trial stage has cost Noosa man Phil Armstrong hundreds of thousands of dollars and most of his life’s savings over 18 years. Phil, 67, is the founder and director Exocetus Foundation and he has on board three like-minded Noosa men, directors Kel Wearne, 68, and David Morison, 71, and supporter Andrew “Phippsy” Phipps, 54. We also reported how their cause is shared by marine engineers, marine biologists, marine architects, a professor of medicine, an economist, various writers, a doctor of tropical diseases and many ordinary people with similar beliefs. Congratulating the Noosa men, Belle said for many marine species pollution, especially plastics and discarded fishing gear, is a growing problem. “Our Foundation rescues over 100 birds, sharks, turtles and whales every year from injuries such as entanglement and ingestion of fishing gear, boat strike and strandings.

“We recently rescued Honour, a green turtle who was found entangled in a crab trap. Unfortunately due to the severity of her injuries the right flipper needed to be amputated. “After five months of rehabilitation, however, Honour can now swim and manoeuvre incredibly well and she was released back into Moreton Bay. “We have worked to understand and protect the marine environment for more than 20 years, supporting leading research on animals such as Australian fur seals, grey nurse sharks and loggerhead turtles. “Early this year we expanded our programs to include a Community Marine Debris (CMD) grant initiative with partner Healthy Waterways. This program will provide funding for 11 local groups to investigate the rubbish in their chosen waterway and help address marine debris problems including identifying hot spots in Queensland.” To find out more about Sea World Foundation and watch Honour’s release on You Tube search Sea World Research and Rescue Foundation.

STOP THE ROT Into battle over plastic pollution

LAST WEEK WE HEARD FROM NOOSA’S EXOCETUS TEAM – PHIL ARMSTRONG, KEL WEARNE, DAVID MORISON AND ANDREW “PHIPPSY” PHIPPS – THAT DISCARDED PLASTICS, THAT MAKE THEIR WAY INTO OUR WATER COURSES, AND SUBSEQUENTLY OUR OCEANS, ARE NOT ONLY THREATENING THE FUTURE OF OUR MARINE LIFE, BUT ALSO OUR OWN HEALTH. This week, on page 10, Belle McCarthy, community engagement officer of Sea World’s Research & Rescue Foundation, confirms their fears. But still we continue to see plastics littering up our streets, beaches and waterways. Out in the community on Saturday, the YLM team was shocked to see so many plasticwrapped newspapers, plastic bags and food wrappings washed into storm drains, and littering local driveways. It’s time to find an alternative. Noosa councillor and local Clean Up Australia Day organiser Joe Jurisevic said A ad formed a large part of the haul on Clean never be re hire pUplastics l il w t a th Up Day. s S r e a p os a o P N “The current system of delivering plastice streets of littering th wrapped newspapers is not ideal. I understand w

Plastic l it in Noosa tering storm dr ain Shire on 21st of J s uly they have to get et ttheir heir he ir message out there but there has to be a better way, a less indiscriminate way,” he said. “I’d like to see them going to places where they know they will be read so maybe they should look at doing it on a subscription basis, or find an alternative to wrapping them in plastic.” Cr Jurisevic reminded residents that to recycle paper, the plastic wrapping must be removed to avoid contamination.

SIT DOWN! FIONA’S ON HER WAY

ISOBEL COLEMAN

Stand up!

“Old, tired, funny lady seeks companionship from strangers which requires no eﬀort in return. Just press “like” until I beat Josh Thomas in numbers and then I’ll have a nice long nap.”

Is it a compliment or a concern when an internationally known Australian comedian tells you, during an interview, that “you’re hilarious, I have to meet you!” I decided it was a compliment and meet her I will when Fiona O’Loughlin comes to town for the Noosa Long Weekend Festival next month. It’s not uncommon in comedy for there to be sadness behind the laughter, be it depression, mental illness or addiction. And Fiona has made no secret of her own personal demons. But she believes that talking about it on stage is good therapy for her – and for members of the audience. “My mother would be horriﬁed that I told the whole world about my alcoholism but there is so much to talk about. “In fact, I say more on stage to strangers than I do to friends. I told my psychiatrist that he needs to come to my shows,” Fiona told YLM. “But good comedy is always autobiographical and I feel so lucky that I can be open about it. People will come up to

Fiona O’Loughlin, Facebook. me after a show and say that my openness has helped them with their issues. “There really is a type of honour in standup comedy.” Fiona was born into an Irish Australian family and is herself the mother of five children who have, over the years, provided plenty of material for her shows. But she reckons she wasn’t always as funny as she is now. “I have a very close friend, who has nine children, and we talk about everything and I try my stuff out on her. “And she reminded me the other day about my very first gig, in Melbourne. I got up on stage, talked rubbish, no-one laughed and I was so pleased with myself. I was hooked but she saw a different act altogether,” Fiona said. “I’ve had some real bombs which is why it’s be er to write your own material, based on your own life. “When you’ve been an addict, you’ve gone to some pre y terrible and embarrassing places so you just pick and choose what you want to share. “But there is definitely a bi er-sweet side to comedy.” Although known primarily for her live stand-up comedy, Fiona has also appeared quite regularly on television, on ABC’s Spicks and Specks, and Channel Ten’s Rove Live and GNW. She has also headlined at major festivals, including the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. And on Saturday, July 19 – in conjunction with The Sit Down Comedy Club - she will present A Night of Comedy at The J Noosa, with YLM favourite Mandy Nolan, James Tinniswood and Joe Shaffer. If this Noosa Long Weekend Festival show is a sell-out, a second performance will take place on Sunday, July 20. For details and bookings see www. noosalongweekend.com

THE REPLACEMENT HIP(PY) TRAIL

Part 2

TED EMERY is a film director (Kath and Kimderella) and TV producer, with Full Frontal, Fast Forward and Kath and Kim among his credits. He is now living in Noosa and says he will write for YLM “when inspiration strikes.”

So we three 60-year-olds - that’s me, my bride and our house painter - have just completed the ‘I think we’ve got the idea’ 15hour tour of Singapore. Actually it was five hours because we spent 10 hours at the hawker stands eating Singapore rather than looking at it! And we were now on our way to Malaysia. As we alighted from the bus at the border crossing and approached customs, I felt compelled to iron out a few awkward diplomatic moments between our two great countries with the deft use of humour. Noticing that the two customs ladies were clad top-to-toe in a basic two-colour blue combination, I assumed they were New South Wales Origin supporters, so I jovially quipped: “You’re backing the wrong burka there, girls!” My ‘till death do us part’ bride and the painter did a synchronised eye roll in my direction, whipped their suitcases off the x-ray machine conveyor belt and disappeared like the Road Runner does, leaving that li le puff of smoke. It could be said that I didn’t think through my remarks, given that I was carrying the suitcase that’s normal contents had been replaced with 1000 litres of Drambuie and Bombay Sapphire. X-ray machines don’t lie, but I was about to. “How did that get in there? Someone has stolen my shorts. What is that?” The two customs ladies - I’ll call them Be y and Denise - because they are charming names and the ladies were just that - were in a bind. Not because of my inept bootlegging a empt, but rather that, taking the stuff in isn’t the issue. But I wouldn’t be allowed to cross out of Malaysia with any of it. So it had to be consumed before we left and we were only in the country for seven days.

Problem solved, I pointed out my Australian nationality on my passport. The Penny dropped for Be y and Denise. They ushered me through with a warm and knowing smile that I could have read as, you really are a country of drunken heathens. I chose to ignore that reading to avoid any more awkward diplomatic moments between our two great countries. The distance between the border and our first stop, Melaka, was 209.7km. Sadly the visual ambience was brutally interrupted for me by one lone patch of natural rain forest measuring about 100m wide by 200m deep. I was staring happily out the bus window counting palm oil trees and got to one gazillion and 26 . . . 27 . . . and suddenly, rainforest ? Lost count, made me grumpy. Now a tourist with a bad first impression. Could easily have been avoided by someone spending just an extra 10 minutes in a bulldozer, finishing the job. Melaka: what a top place. It’s sort of held developmentally fairly still since about the 1930s. It oozed its history as a living working thing, not a tourist show thing. Then there was the food. I know we are spoilt in Noosa. We can flit up and down our eclectic menu and order anything from blanched jellyfish cheeks, tossed presumptuously with a frisson of grain-fed aubergine and served on

a bed of stressed le uce, at Fops on Hastings Street, to a parma the size of Palma at The Royal in Tewantin.

But I go on record saying that Malaysians do Malaysian curries in Malaysia be er than anyone. The restaurant was called Nancy’s. Go there. Order candlenut chicken, eat it, then step outside and get run over and killed by a car. It is seriously the last memory you would want on this earth - not the bumper smashing into your shins then the car driving over your face the chicken. Speaking of which we bought two rubber chickens that when squeezed would go SQUEEEEAAAWK!! They helped us with our shopping. Yep! You’re right. Things could only get worse and they did . . . More later.

Affectionately known as the Grand Purl Baa of Kni ing, Loani has singlehandedly rescued this overlooked Aussie icon from the back of the linen cupboard, transforming it into eye-popping pieces of kni ed art and opening the floodgates for tea cosy nu ers around the world. ‘I knew deep down in my belly that tea cosies were funny but I didn’t know the secret until I met Joan. Joan’s gran had kni ed her own tea cosy when she was a new bride. She’d used it every day of her married life and when she died, Joan’s mum took the tea cosy and used it. Now that she’s passed away, it is Joan’s. That funny old tea cosy is almost 80 years old, and filled with the love and memories of three lifetimes,” Loani said. Loani knows every tea cosy guardian has a story and this has led to a collaboration with photographer Mark Crocker. Together they’ve travelled around Australia collecting them, creating an exhibition of 40 life-sized photographic portraits and audio recordings, together with 20 of Loani’s original pieces of art. The exhibition is travelling to regional galleries around Australia until the end of 2015. She will launch her fourth book, Pre y Funny Tea Cosies, on Thursday, July 3, at 10am, at The Rose Room at 231 Gym-

Festival of Water a visual feast ISOBEL COLEMAN They say a picture can tell a thousand words and that is certainly true for YLM’s cover photographer this week, Todd Fauser. Conondale resident Todd has created some stunning images from around the Mary River Catchment and this weekend, Coast locals will be able to see his stunning work for themselves, at the Noosa Festival of Water. Inspired by their beautiful surroundings at the Conondale headwaters of the Mary River, Todd and wife Julie have transformed their riparian area, and in doing so have encouraged their neighbours to do likewise. Todd will have a selection of images on display and for sale at the Festival on Sunday, June 29, at Noosa Botanic Gardens. This year’s Festival, the 10th, will celebrate all things local and watery with some great entertainment and displays, the Lake Macdonald Catch and

Release Fishing Competition, free boat trips to tour the Noosa Cod Hatchery, children’s ﬁshing clinic, Stand Up Paddle lessons, free kayaking and more. The packed program, which runs from 10am to 3pm, also includes reptile awareness displays, children’s art activities and displays from community groups such as Noosa Integrated Catchment Assoc, Save Fraser Island Dingoes and Wilvos and Wildcare. You can even get your bore, creek or dam water tested for free. And if you are a Noosa Biosphere resident, just bring along your rate notice to claim a free tree from Landcare. The event will be oﬃcially opened by Noosa Councillor Tony Wellington, and entertainment will include Andrea Kirwin, Caitlyn Shadbolt, Lyndon Davies and the Gubbi Gubbi dancers, and the Noosa Pipe Band. There will also be plenty of food and drink stalls, too. For more information contact the Lake Macdonald Catchment Care Group on 5482 4766 or visit www. mrccc.org.au

The Lake Macdonald Amphitheatre will come alive this weekend

Big-hearted Andrea a must-see at Festival Andrea Kirwin is a singer/songwriter based right here on the Coast. She weaves sweet melodies with rolling rhythms to create a unique island style of playing that can only be described as laid back, chilled and soulful. With positive, heartfelt words, Andrea leaves the listener feeling uplifted and enriched. So it’s no wonder she also gives much of her time to helping her community. Not only does she regularly perform at fundraisers, and community events like the Noosa Festival of Water, but she is also a hands-on supporter of Smart Pups Assistance Dogs Sunshine Coast. “I’ve always loved working with charities and helping people within my local community. I have been given a wonderful opportunity to work as a puppy socialiser for Smart Pups Assistance Dogs, a Sunshine Coast-based charity that trains dogs to assist children with autism, epilepsy and special needs. This job is truly amazing! Working with puppies and looking into their little eyes is such a special gift. You may see me walking around with one of the Smart Pups new recruits. Please feel free to stop and say hello!”

TANGLEWOOD TREATS

New to Belmondos Organic Market is the artisan bread company, Tanglewood Organic Sourdough Bakery – a collaboration between Ryan Taylor and Jason Higgins. This is just one of several new initiatives at Belmondos and you can find out more at the next Slow Food Noosa Breakfast, on June 26. The bakery takes its name from the Tanglewood Track in Noosa National Park, a popular opular spot for early risers to enjoy a walk or run. n. Tanglewood’s sourdoughs, however, prefer to rise slowly. The bakery uses a 20-hour ferment to break down acetic and phytic acid cid which aids digestion and increases the natural ural flavour and character of each loaf. Tanglewood’s organic sourdough range incorporates ancient grains, sprouted grains, activated nuts, fresh milled flour and gluten free products. The breads are delicious on their own, spread with bu er, or warmed and dipped into organic extra virgin olive oil and Celtic sea salt. Ryan and Jason will be the guest speakers at the breakfast, sharing their enthusiasm and passion for all things organic and for pure food.

ALL HAIL THE SIMPLE

FIRST GROWN FOR FOOD IN PERU BETWEEN 8000 AND 5000 BC, THERE ARE NOW CLOSE TO A THOUSAND VARIETIES AROUND THE WORLD. They can be eaten, turned into alcohol, or used as a folk remedy for burns in India. A raw one can cause severe illness or even death. And Van Gogh painted a picture of a family eating potatoes, in 1885! Not bad for the simple spud. Packed with vitamins and minerals, potatoes are a staple part of diets around the world. Who can resist roast spuds or hot chips, creamy mash, or crispy potato fritters? Here’s a favourite recipe that is quick and delicious. delicio Swedish in origin, it’s t s called a Hedgehog Potato if you’re you cooking oking for the kids, or a Hasselback if it’s for a dinner dinne party!

FUN FACT The world's

largest potato-producing country now is China

Hasselback potatoes INGREDIENTS ¡

18 medium potatoes, oval-shaped ¡ 45g butter ¡ 5 tablespoons olive oil ¡ Course sea salt

METHOD Preheat the oven to 210°C/gas mark 7. Holding each potato carefully, slice across at 5mm intervals but DO NOT cut all the way through. Put a baking tray on the hob with the butter and oil and heat up till sizzling. Add the potatoes, putting them in cut side down first, then the right side up, and spoon the fat over them. Sprinkle each potato well with salt. At this stage you can add extra ingredients if you wish, like a sprinkling of parmesan cheese or crushed garlic. Place in the oven and cook for about an hour and 10 minutes. The flesh should be soft while the outside is golden and crispy. Transfer to a warmed plate, and serve with your choice of main and vegetables.

Through Ash the club is implementing a junior development program, giving players the opportunity and defined pathways to become cricketing stars and clubmen of the future. This will build on the successful 2013/14 season where the club won three junior premierships with two other teams reaching the semi-finals. This was the best performance of any Sunshine Coast junior cricket club. The club also boasted 13 Sunshine Coast junior representative players. “And I would like to emphasise that the club also caters for aspiring female cricketers,” said commi ee member Bre Lea. “Last season we had five girls participating in the Milo Future cricket star Lilly Mills (second from right) with keen juniors Harrison, Cooper and Kara Lea

NEW SPONSOR, NEW COACH Future bright for our young cricketers Junior cricket is set for a major boost, thanks to a combined effort by Tewantin Noosa Cricket Club, sponsors and new club coach, Ash Gray. Home games for juniors were previously spread between Yandina, Sunshine Beach and the McKinnon Drive complex in Tewantin, making it hard for the club to foster a real home ground culture. But upgraded facilities at the Sir Thomas Hilly Oval complex on McKinnon Drive – coupled with a new agreement with Noosa Pirates RLFC to allow another wicket to be installed on the Pirates’ number 2 oval – will have major benefits for the club. Stage one of the upgrade, including a four-block turf wicket, new synthetic wicket, drainage, irrigation and storage shed facilities, is nearing completion. “This will see three junior games played at home every Saturday morning which, along with senior games in the afternoon, will greatly enhance the home ground culture at the club,” said Tewantin Noosa Cricket Club President Jarrod Officer. “The implementation of the Noosa District Sports Complex Master Plan is now coming together and, in partnership with Noosa Shire Council, we are working to achieve the outcomes defined in the plan.”
