Point Arkwright is a crafty green thumb and environmentalist, and has recently screen printed a series of calico bags which are to be used for people to pick up rubbish whilst at the beach.
Ocean who was gifted the bags from Coolum and North Shore Coast Care (CNSCC) decided to screen print the bags
to be given back to Coast Care. Ocean also collects waste most days from the beach and thought it would be a good idea to make a reusable bag for others to use to pick up rubbish with.
When asked why the waste bags were needed, Ocean said it was for the turtles. The lino printed calico bags
amount at Wagtail Coffee at Yaroomba, The Boardroom in Coolum and at Studio 53 Art & Surf Culture out in Quanda Estate.

The local chapter also run hands-on cooking classes, showing participants how to transform rescued ingredients into delicious meals and deliver education programs to charities which teach healthy cooking habits and how to cook simple and low-cost meals.
Sunshine Coast Council Acting Mayor Rick Baberowski said people like Michele formed the backbone of our Sunshine Coast community.
“This year, we received 63 Sunshine Coast Australia Day nominations across seven categories with a common thread weaving through each one — every nominee was praised for their selflessness and their dedication to helping others,” Cr Baberowksi said.
“Together the nominations form a glorious account of the actions of everyday people who make a difference. It’s a humbling account and every nominee should feel very proud.
“On behalf of Sunshine Coast — to all those nominated both this year and in previous years — a sincere thank you.”

ENERGY PRICES
Dear editor,
Some good news at last!
Federal Treasury analysis now forecasts wholesale electricity prices should rise by less than half of earlier predictions. The Energy Minister Chris Bowen’s temporary 12-month price cap on gas and coal is having an impact already.
Queensland is the biggest winner as prices are likely to be 44 per cent lower than predicted.
After nine years of indecision on energy policy by the previous government, and now with global uncertainties because of the Ukraine/ Russia war, the Labor government is putting in place a mandatory code of conduct to stop the big power corporations from gouging exorbitant profits.
We produce far more gas than we need, and the gas corporations are cashing in on international prices while we are still paying top dollar.
Their shareholders may be happy, but every day Australians are hurting, fortunately the Albanese government is working on solutions to lessen the rising cost of living.

INDIGENOUS VOICE
Dear editor, Who have so little pride in our indigenous culture that they are asleep and won’t hear their fellow citizens’ “Voice”? Are they really only awakened by the sound of their own voice? Fair dinkum?

HEART DISEASE IN WOMEN
Dear editor,
This February is REDFEB, heart awareness month. In addition to encouraging people to wear red and donate, Heart Research Australia is raising awareness about the underdiagnosis and undertreatment of women with heart disease.
Heart disease is not just a man’s disease. Globally, it is the number one killer of women, and we’ve found over recent years that women are doing worse after their heart attacks, they’re more likely to have another heart attack, and
more likely to die or have heart failure than men within the five years following their heart attack. Time is critical and a huge issue with women is the delay to treatment. Women go to hospital later after symptoms start, which reduces the window of opportunity for effective treatment and increases the risk of complications and damage to their heart. Women also tend to develop symptoms of heart disease at a much later stage of the illness than men and their symptoms are often vaguer. Some feel extremely tired or short of breath. Other atypical symptoms include nausea and abdominal, neck, and shoulder pain.
It is important for women to know that early menopause, inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, and complications during pregnancy - such as pre-eclampsia, hypertension, and gestational diabetes - are all important risk factors for women. So, if you are a woman over 45* please have a heart health check with your GP and discuss your obstetric history with them if you have had children. This enables proactive prevention to be taken to reduce risk. (*Over 35 for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples).
Heart Research Australia aims to reduce the devastating impact heart disease has on families and the community by supporting world-class and emerging researchers to conduct ground-breaking research into the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease. For more information or to donate, please visit www.heartresearch.com.au
On behalf of the thousands of Australians impacted by heart disease every year, thank you for your support.

TRANSLINK FARES
Dear editor,
After just having had a Translink fare increase of 3% in July 2022 on public transport in Queensland, six months later, another 3% increase was imposed in line with the increased Consumer Price Index, on 9 January
2023, just in time for return to work and school! So, every January, expect a fare increase in line with the C.P.I.! There is no offpeak or bonus free rides for concession card holders, as in almost all states. It adds to the high cost of living in Queensland.
This is hypocrisy, considering Translink and the Queensland State Government have done nothing to stop the fare evasion epidemic spreading in S.E. Queensland. Those who use go-cards and buy tickets are subsidising public transport in Queensland. Taxpayers are taken for a ride, while the State Government is desperate for income for 2032. Their increased fares never affect those who board buses and trains without paying. Having asked one Sunshine Coast bus driver recently, as to when free rides on public transport will cease, he said it will continue.
Due to inaction by Translink who demand paying commuters pay more, fare evaders continue to ride free, with no C.P.I. increase imposed on them, no deterrents of significance and no consequences. Why is this allowed to continue with impunity? Every bus driver must contend with people boarding without go-cards, go-cards without credit, or no tickets. They are allowed on the bus, with drivers’ hands tied by Translink rules. No-one is refused a ride and the fare evaders, particularly on school holidays, exploit it!
All the while, paying passengers wonder how this can be fair, while their own credit diminishes with each trip. It is theft with the consent of a remorseless State Government. This is immoral, as well as criminal. What has the State Government taught its people about paying their way in life? Lead by example.

LOCAL SURF CLUBS COMPETE ON THE GC IN USHER CUP
MUDJIMBA BEACH BOARDRIDERS
MUDJIMBA Beach
Boardriders started the year off by competing in the Usher Cup held on the Gold Coast last weekend with our team including Sasha Baker, Kalani Wulf, Nick Anders and Leon Vinaev. Sasha made it through to the quarter finals in the Individual event, while Kalani placed third, and Nick and Leon placed fourth in their heats.
Mudjimba also competed in the team’s event and made the quarterfinals just missing out on the semi-fi 19th overall out of 30 clubs.
A massive thank you to our sponsors so far this year for making these competitions happen: Your Mates Brewery, Disc Landscaping, Maroochy North Shore Realty and One Place Development.
We would love to welcome any new members to the club and will be having a club sign on and meet and greet this Saturday January 28 from 9am - 10:30am in Mudjimba Park.
COOLUM BOARDRIDERS
WE HAD such a great time down at Snapper Rocks again this year. Wayne “Rabbit” Bartholomew and the Usher Cup team did so well to put on an amazing international event this year. Coolum Boardriders as usual were down on the rocks with our flags every time one of our surfers were in the water. We got a few mentions over the PA for how good our club spirit is… a photo of us even made the ABC news!
Stand out competitors from Coolum were Gabriel Ribero winning his first heat and Ellia Smith finishing up in the top 20. The World Cup Challenge on the Saturday was exciting from the start! Gabriel posted a 7.17 in the first few minutes and Ellia backing him up with a 6.60. Coolum was wining for most of the heat, but unfortunately the back end of the heat
saw the waves machine turned off for Gavin and Kai and Coolum only missed out in the dying minutes as Point Lookout (Stradbroke Island) beat us by a narrow .34, taking second place and pushing us into third. Despite this the Coolum Boardriders team was stoked as always and we are already looking forward to next year. Gavin (Vice President).

THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR IS IN FOR 2023
THE SCHOOL holidays are officially over with most schools resuming this past Monday and for these little prep students (back row) Jay, Calypso, Liam, Kai B and (front row) Violet, Sonny and Ada they started their school journey at Coolum State School. We wish all of the students returning back to school a safe and happy school year with hopefully no interruptions. With the return of students to Queensland’s schools this week Police are reminding motorists to be on the lookout around schools and to abide by the 40km/h speed zones around schools.
Police are urging drivers to exercise both patience and caution on the roads to protect some of the most vulnerable in our community.
School speed zones across the state typically capture the high-traffic hours around a school and are clearly signed and are in place to create a safe environment for our children. Please be patient as you drive and if you live near a school zone, leave a few minutes earlier to account for the lower speeds. Photo: Coolum State School
Faces of North Shore
FRANCES WINDOLF
BY VANESSA BACON-HALL
EACH edition the Advertiser will take you on a journey through the life of people in our community – the characters, the notable ones and just those with an interesting backstory. This week we look at the life of historian, librarian, and Advertiser columnist Frances Windolf.
A LOVE of books, teaching, and the desire for a new challenge in a new place were the underlying themes that saw a young Frances Windolf take up the job of Teacher/Librarian at the newly opened Coolum State High School in
The school opened with just eight teaching staff and a student cohort of 120 grade eight students – this move would turn out to be pivotal and afford Frances the chance to meet the love of her life, her late husband John Windolf.
“Coolum was just so beautiful, and I came to love it rapidly… I even bought my house straight away and then three months after moving here I met John,” Frances said
Before moving to Coolum Frances, who was the eldest of six, had a life that was punctuated with teaching stints in rural areas of both Victoria and Queensland and growing up Frances enjoyed living in country Victoria in the town known as Yea – 110kms northeast of Melbourne.
It was as a child in Yea that the love of history was
formed by way of her Father who when not working as a bank manager was a keen photographer.
“When I was young my Father was approached to take the photos for a book which was to be on the history of the Murrindindi Homestead in Yea, and I would go with him and just loved it.”
Frances started her career as a teacher and taught at every level from prep to university and affectionately loved every part of teaching.
Frances’ first teaching position was at the little school at Noojee in the rural Gippsland region of Victoria and from there she was also the library advisor for all of central Melbourne and at 31 married her first husband and due to his hereditary illness, the pair moved to Nanango for the balmier Queensland weather.
The couple lived on a 90acre championship goat stud at rural Nanango and whilst working full time as a teacher Frances also cared for her ailing husband.
“After Ron died in 1982, I needed a change, and I came to Coolum.”
“My boss told me that there was a new school starting in Coolum and he said that he knew I would love it.”
Thankfully for the wider Coolum community, Frances got the job at the newly opened Coolum High School and would continue working there for almost 20 years up until retirement at 57 in 2002.
And that meeting with John
just three months into living at Coolum came about via an article about the Yaroomba shipwreck which was posted in a local shop.
“I saw this article and wanted a copy for the school and was told to see John and my friend said that he thought we would get along.”
And get along John and Frances did.
“In that next number of years after we met, we had only four days that we didn’t spend time together.”
gion in vivid detail and the title refers to when Coolum would only be accessible via boat along Coolum Creek due to the only road into the area from Yandina flooding.
John was a born and bred Coolum ‘local’ having grown up in the region and whilst his work in the Navy took him to many parts of the world including Antarctica, Coolum was always the place he returned to, and he also had a vast collection of Coolum artifacts such as photos and stories which chronicled the history of Coolum.
“When John came back from travelling the world he worked at the garage and the old men that John had known from when he was a kid, when they found out that John was interested in history they would bring him things – an old photograph or newspaper clipping.
“So, when I met him, he had under his bed apple box after apple box full of stuff that he had collected.”
It was to be a treasure trove of priceless Coolum information.
“When we got back from travelling in 2003, I said, I’m going to do something with those apple boxes and I sat down for a year writing, ‘An Island Surrounded by Land’.”
The book chronicles the history of Coolum and the re-
The book was warmly received by the community and after that history endeavour, Frances completed an online Graduate Diploma in Local History through the University of New England and then went on to do a Masters/Honours in History – resulting in a 200+ page thesis chronicling the history of the entire Sunshine Coast region.
Whilst history was a love and passion the Windolfs shared, a love of travelling was another passion with the couple visiting an impressive 83 countries together.
Sadly in 2021, the community lost John Windolf and Frances lost her other half. Not content to simply sit and be, Frances enjoys volunteering with the Coolum Lions, writing her regular history column for the Advertiser, and travelling.
When reflecting on what makes Coolum so special to her and why it is ‘home’, Frances explains that it is the community.
“One of my joys is seeing former pupils as wonderful people in the community.
“And Coolum has a heart and it’s had a heart from way back when there were only eight kids in the school.”

Principal’s Post
AFTER A fantastic holiday, with great weather, our school year has begun in earnest with a wave of enthusiasm and energy. Our new year 7s entered the school seeking new adventures, while our year 12s were reunited after the break determined to enjoy their last year of school.
Over the holiday break, I ran into our 2021 dux, Kai Weith, who received an award from the Education Minister, Grace Grace, for being one of the top 47 students in all of Queensland. I thought I would take a moment to ask Kai a few questions about what it was like growing up in Coolum, and what he thought students needed to do to succeed.
Tell me a bit about growing up in Coolum, your family background and the role of Coolum?
Growing up in Coolum is literally growing up in a holiday destination, however, I was so desensitised and naïve that I did not recognise it. The town comes with an implicit air of relaxation and tranquillity; no urban ambition from folk or feeling of insecurity walking the street. Moreover, the community at large is very close knit, with my father knowing every person as we walk down the street.
You weren’t always as academically focused as you became. When did things change for you and what led to this change?
Initially, school was not an establishment I took seriously through the junior years, more so it was a place to socialise with friends. However, I distinctly remember in year 9 an epiphany for understanding the basic functions of a biological cell. This enthralled me enough to realise “Hey, I kind of want to understand how the world actually works”, with the caveat that I was always a curious child asking tons of questions about everything. I wanted to be able to understand how cars function, the economy works, why the seasons exist.
You obviously met with extraordinary success as a student. What did you do that led to this?
These days people want things quick and easy, overnight with zero investment. I ask why would people want things to come easy? Easy achievements possess no value. Everybody already knows how to be successful but just don’t want to step to it. Put in the work! Sure, success can be aided through mentorship and guidance (primarily tips and strategies) but it is established from
time, sacrifice, commitment and passion – all are sourced intrinsically from the person. My personal success that I can testify to is simply attributed to 2-4 hours of study post school and the discipline to stick to my schedule. In fact, I have a project in the works regarding success of students (and anyone) through actions you can implement (stay tuned). All I can say is put in the work, eat healthy, exercise, self-discipline and have character.
What are your key tips for our students? What would you most recommend to our students to help ensure their success at school?
Some key tips I would recommend for passionate students can be summarised in:
I) Dream big and goal set
II) Schedule a routine and stick to it
III) Socialise, exercise and relax in off time
IV) Respect your teachers and build rapport
Reflection….
I took a moment to reflect on Kai’s answers and noted that his success was no accident. It is in the deliberate planning, self-discipline, focus and consistency that Kai reminds us all that we can all be successful beyond what we might first think possible. I would encourage all of our students to consider Kai’s advice and to set their sights on the stars!
WOW! That’s the first word that comes to mind when looking at this absolutely breathtaking sunrise shot taken by local photographer Ash Page on the last day on 2022- the year surely went out in style! “Behind where this shot was taken is a turtle nest in the dunes signed and roped off by our wonderful Coast Care volunteers.” What a view for those little turtles to see when they one day emerge from their nest.
If you happen to take a stunning pic or have a pic of something you think the community should know about – on either your smart phone or DSLR from anywhere in the region, we would love to see it. Please send in your ‘pic of the week’ to, editor@coolumadvertiser. com.au and don’t forget to include your name, where the pic was taken and what it is of.

FRANCES WINDOLF
A LONG TIME COOLUM RESIDENT WITH A PASSION FOR LOCAL HISTORY
MURPHY’S
GARAGE
WHEN I first moved to Coolum in January 1985, I was puzzled because so many people used “Murphy’s Garage” as a point of reference, using phrases such as “turn left just before Murphy’s Garage” or “get your tyres checked at Murphy’s Garage” … but I couldn’t find “Murphy’s Garage”, no matter where I looked! As I came to feel at home here, I discovered that the garage had changed hands, but was so important in local folklore that longterm locals still used the former name. The site is now known as the BP Garage. Murphy’s Garage had been built in the 1950s, in the area where Grainger Ward had selected Portion 169 in September 1871 –now bounded by Banksia Avenue to the north, School and South Coolum Roads to the west, Jenyor Street to the south, and back to First Bay. The garage was not the first notable building on the site, because the PerryKeene family had chosen that spot for their home “Green Hills” in 1906. “Green Hills”, which eventually became a guesthouse, was destroyed by fire in 1929.
In 1954 Claude and Daisy Murphy drove through floodwaters to Coolum Beach, on holiday from Proston. As they drove towards the ocean they fell in love with the view, and immediately bought two allotments at 100 pounds [just over $1,000] each, and had a house built opposite where the service station now stands – the original
house took only three weeks to build! In 1957 Coolum became home to Claude and Daisy, and their son John established Murphy’s Garage – until then, Theo Chapman had repaired a small number of cars in an area behind today’s Coolum Caprice, but Murphy’s Garage was the first full-blown service station.
John Murphy - who, at 89 years old, now lives at Yandina Creek - reminisces about the day when he saw “a girl in a big red hat” frantically riding a bicycle in a storm. That girl was Caryll Windolf, and after another
home was built adjacent to the first Murphy house, the young couple married in 1960 and had four children, all of whom went to Coolum State School.
Murphy’s Garage was not only a petrol station, but repaired all sorts of vehicles, and – at a time when Yandina hosted the nearest repair shop - played an important role in the Coolum community, and was an assistance centre for locals and visitors for some thirty years. In the 1980s, the older men of the district, who would gather there to chat, passed on many, many stories, newspaper clippings and memorabilia to my husband, John Murphy’s brother-in-law, and it is these which form the basis of our historic knowledge of the district today.
Sandy Bolton MP
MEMBER FOR NOOSA
A MASSIVE ‘Happy New Year’ to all and I trust you have had some lovely time with friends or family over the Christmas break. Gratitude to so many including Making Lives Matter and Noosa Chef Tony Crossin, who co-hosted a community lunch with me on Christmas Day which was magic. Thank you to all who volunteered and shared this day including furry friends, and to the Salvation Army who donated not only the venue, but lots of goodies! We did have challenges, including managing the volume of visitors. Following four years of advocacy regarding sustainable visitor numbers to Cooloola, we are expecting proposed changes to be released mid-February for community feedback, so keep your eyes out for that. We will also update on what will be implemented to mitigate appalling behaviour experienced on New Year’s Eve after my meeting with Noosa Council and newly appointed Senior Sergeant Anthony Cowan this week. Youth crime has been headlined in many areas of Queensland, with changes to be debated in Parliament shortly. Queenslanders de-
serve to feel safe in their homes, at work and on our streets, and the biggest question for MPs to consider, is whether proposed changes will be ‘enough’. The devil is in the detail, and we look forward to the Bill being introduced to see what is proposed.
Having participated in public hearings relating to youth recidivism in areas such as Mt Isa, Townsville and the Gold Coast in 2021, I have posted a summary, including findings from those hearings, at www.sandybolton.com/ noosa360
There is much each of us can do to create greater safety in our community and deter those who are looking for ‘easy pickings’. Firstly, lock up your car and house, even when home, and keep valuables out of sight. Stay alert for any suspicious behaviours, and report to police, whether during station opening hours or not, as there are always police on duty. For emergencies dial 000, if non-urgent report via Police link website or call 131 444. Neighbourhood Watch groups provide a vital link between police and community, and if there is
not one in your area you can join, consider whether it’s time to start one. For Noosa Electorate residents, a reminder to complete the annual Noosa MP survey. With resident feedback vitally important, we have extended the deadline to 30th January. You can find the online survey at www.sandybolton.com under the ‘Connect’ tab and please call our office on 5319 3100 for assistance or to obtain a printed version if needed. With so much time between columns and so much to share, please stay ’in the loop’ via Noosa 360 with updates on a range of important issues including crime, Cooloola, Noosa River, State controlled roads and more. In addition, follow ‘Sandy Bolton MP’ on Facebook to receive updates as soon as available, especially our regular Friday night update with the news from the week, and by subscribing to our e-newsletter. Always, if you have any questions or require assistance regarding state related matters, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 5319 3100 or email noosa@parliament.qld.gov. au. Until next month, consider how you can be the change you wish to see in your community as it does take a village.

YOUR ELDER LAW
Fiona Simpson MP MEMBER FOR MAROOCHYDORE
WHAT IS important to Queenslanders at the moment? Cost of living, housing, health and youth crime are all issues hitting many people hard with an increase in the number of people contacting my office for help.
The youth crime crisis due to failing laws supporting re-offenders are all impacting everyday Sunshine Coast and Queensland residents.
It’s time for action on youth justice and I will continue to support the call for Parliament to be recalled early to change the Youth Justice Act so there are consequences for serious crimes and there is a more effective early intervention.
On health matters, Sunshine Coast University Hospital has once again been one of the
three worst performing hospitals in the state in recent performance audits regarding timeliness of treatment. Sadly, over half of Queensland hospitals audited recently recorded a level of unsatisfactory or poor performance, which is the worst of the ratings. These ratings aren’t the fault of our hard-working doctors, nurses, paramedics, and allied health professionals. Lack of planning over the last eight years and spending on the right priorities is to blame and is why the performance of so many hospitals is now at crisis levels.

CELEBRATIONS?
LAST week I enjoyed a coastal walk with a friend of many years, and as we walk and talk challenging each other on our judgements and opinions. With a lunar new year and the Chinese Year of the Rabbit there is the opportunity to embrace change and find some new wisdom.
We did discuss debates around the importance of celebrating Australia Day on 26 January for instance. What is the significance of the first European settlement arrival or what does that arrival mean to Aboriginal and Torres Strait peoples?
We can challenge ourselves to appreciate the other points of view and hopefully there will be more generosity of thought and humility in the world in

I am working with and have worked with many residents on the Sunshine Coast regarding the waitlist for their surgeries as I advocate for people to get timely treatment.
As we are now officially in 2023, I hope it will be a brighter year for everyone. I am ready to tackle what matters to Queensland and our community and fight for action.
I hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Years with your family and friends, and thank you again to all of you who worked during this period and our wonderful volunteers who keep the beaches safe and community connected with kindness and support.
As always, don’t hesitate to contact me if there is anything that I can be of assistance with.
prosperity and longevity, it could be a very good year.
Is continuing to celebrate Australia Day on 26 January a win-win for the Australian community? I suggested to my friend we should put more emphasis and importance into Harmony Day which he like others was not aware of.
United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination or Harmony Day will be held on 21 March 2023. In Australia, Harmony Day celebrates multiculturalism. Harmony Day is about inclusiveness, respect, and belonging for all Australians, regardless
of cultural or linguistic background, united by a set of core Australian values. We do need to celebrate the gaining of wisdom and important milestones, so how we do that? Do we treat everyone as equals, respecting differences and trying to be more inclusive with an increased importance of Harmony Day? The values of peace, freedom, social progress, equal rights and human dignity, enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights help us achieve harmony. Let both Australia Day and Harmony Day be driven by a desire for a peaceful, harmonious and an inclusive society. Let us try to be respectful of feelings in our celebrations whether it be Christmas, Anzac Day, Buddha’s Birthday, Diwali, NAIDOC week, Passover, or Eid al-Adha to name a few.
