Breakers recognised as AFL Queensland’s top club

SWEET MUSIC SET TO WASH AWAY THE BLUES AS CHOIR SINGS FOR LAUNDRY CLEAN clothes and conversation are necessities for human dignity, but the lack of both is a major issue for the increasing number of people sleeping rough across the Sunshine Coast each night. The Orange Sky Australia mobile laundry provides a valuable free service to homeless people and anyone doing it tough.

To help cover running costs of this volunteer organisation, more than 40 members of the Cool Harmonies community choir will throw open their rehearsal doors to welcome the public to some beautiful harmonies and fabulous food on Thursday September 12.

Choir leader Yvonne Corstorphin said the annual fundraiser is usually a sell-out.

munity group is such a joy, and this year we are delighted to have Mary-Anne Cahill and Ron Wilson from Orange Sky Australia come along to tell us about the valuable work they do in our community.”

Homelessness can happen to anyone at any time and for a variety of reasons and Orange Sky provides an important and integral service to the many people who are impacted across the Sunshine coast, by operating eleven three-hour shifts over five days every week, helping between eight and 10 people each time.

Established in Brisbane in 2014, Orange Sky is the world’s first free mobile laundry and shower service, now operating 63 services, which is made up of predominantly laundry and shower vans, and a mix of

semi-mobile and permanent sites, at 38 locations across Australia.

The focus is on creating a safe, positive and supportive environment for people who are often ignored or who feel disconnected from the community. Staffed by volunteers who are empathetic listeners and great conversationalists, Orange Sky aims to positively connect everyday Australians through clean clothes and the opportunity to simply sit and chat in one of their six orange chairs.

Ms Corstorphin said the Coolum-based choir will be singing a wide range of uplifting songs from gospel to African.

“We’ll also include a singalong for the audience to join in with as well as inviting everyone to share in some delicious

food to round out a beautiful morning.”

The Cool Harmonies fundraiser for Orange Sky will be

held on Thursday September 12 at the Coolum Civic Centre, Coolum. The event will commence at 9.30am and finish at

11.30am with a shared morning tea buffet - all for just $15.

THE FORENSIC Crash Unit is investigating two local fatalities and are calling on witnesses to come forward if they saw either crash or have any dashcam footage.

A fatal traffic crash occurred in Bli Bli on the morning of Monday August 26.

Police were called to Bli Bli Road around 7.15am to reports of a two-vehicle crash between Prentis Road and Cooney Road involving a car and a truck.

Initial investigations indicate the car, a Mazda 3, was travel-

ing east on Bli Bli Road when it collided with the truck, a Hino FE, traveling the opposite direction.

The driver of the truck, a 50-year-old Nambour man, was transported to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital for assessment but was not physically injured.

The driver and sole occupant of the car, a 56-year-old Parklands man, was declared deceased at the scene.

The second incident was a single vehicle motorbike crash

that occurred in Peregian Springs on the night of August 17.

Initial investigations indicate about 9.40pm, a motorbike was travelling north along Sunshine Coast Motorway when it left the road and struck a light pole near the Peregian Springs Drive, Emu Mountain Road roundabout.

The rider, a 34-year-old Wurtulla man, died at the scene.

Witnesses or anyone with further information or dashcam

vision are urged to contact police via Policelink on 131 444.

Investigations are continuing into both incidents.

The Queensland Police Service is committed to reducing number of lives lost on our roads.

Data shows that serious crashes can be significantly reduced when drivers recognise and avoid the ‘Fatal Five’ behaviours: speeding, drink and drug driving, not wearing seatbelts, fatigue and distraction.

Stairway to Second Bay set to be constructed by summer

THE ACCESS to Second Bay in Coolum will soon be upgraded to make it safer for the community to access the popular beach spot.

The existing stairs at beach access 83 will be replaced with a new set of robust timber and marine aluminium stairs – similar to others in the area (First and Third Bay).

The project is due to begin in September to avoid the summer storm season.

Sunshine Coast Council Division 9 Councillor Maria Suarez said Council worked to keep beach accesses in good condition.

“The old stone steps were slippery and had reached the end of their life,” Cr Suarez said.

“Council has also had requests from the community for them to be replaced.

“The new stairs will be

strong, last a long time and require minimal maintenance.

“Most importantly, they will make it a much safer walk down to the beach.

“The stairs will have timber treads and balustrades to keep that coastal texture and feel similar to beach access 84 at Third Bay. “The beach is an important part of our Sunshine Coast lifestyle and these designated entry points help to protect the dunes and coastal foreshore areas from erosion and damage.

“We thank our community for your patience while we work to restore safe access.”

Construction is scheduled to start in September and will be completed in approximately four to five weeks, weather dependent.

For community safety and the safety of our construction workers, the beach access

and associated carpark will be closed while the work takes place.

As an alternative access, please use beach access 82 which is 300m to the north or beach access 84, 300m to the

south.

The old rock stairs will remain in place under the new staircase, so the construction process doesn’t destabilise the hillside.

Second Bay is set to have a new set of stairs constructed which will look similar to these ones which are located at Third Bay, Coolum.

Coolum Breakers secure two major AFL awards FROM PAGE 1

COOLUM’S local AFL club, the Coolum Beach Breakers Junior AFL have served up a double barrel, taking out two top gongs at the AFL’s annual awards.

Selected from almost 200 AFL Clubs across the whole of Queensland, the Coolum Beach Breakers were recognised as the top AFL Club in the State.

But the good news doesn’t stop there, with the Club’s media manager, Amy Sheehan, being awarded the Toyota AFL National Volunteer of the Year Award in the media category.

Amy, who is also a team manager, has been looking after the Club’s media and communications and beat finalists from all other states and territories to take out the prestigious award. Amy will now get to travel to the Grand Final in Melbourne for a three-day grand final experience.

“I was honoured to have been nominated and absolutely shocked to have won this award. I am very proud to have been associated with our won-

derful Club for the last seven years,” Amy said.

“The committee, our members and the wonderful cohort of players; make my job easy as we always have something to photograph, write about and celebrate. I’ve been involved in AFL Clubs all around Australia and there is just something special about the Coolum Beach Breakers.”

In recent years the club has experienced significant growth, fielding an increasing number of teams and continuing to maintain its family-friendly atmosphere and game day experience. During the last round of Youth fixtures in August, the club hosted its biggest ever Family and Sponsors Day, attracting record crowds to their home ground at Coolum High School.

Club President Tyson Smalley said the award recognition was a great coup for the club.

“Winning AFL Queensland Club of the Year is tremendous recognition of not just our players on the field, but also our impressive army of parents and community members

who make our club such a great place for young people to build their love for the game and develop life-long health and social mindsets.

“Importantly the award is proof we have laid the right foundations and will continue to grow in a positive direction.

“We welcome families across the Sunshine Coast to join our growing club in 2025.”

Ninderry MP Dan Purdie has congratulated the Club after being announced the Qld Best AFL Club for 2024.

“This is just awesome news for the Coolum Beach Breakers, and caps off a fantastic year for the Club,” Mr Purdie said.

Earlier this year, the Club secured $500,000 in funding for long overdue changerooms, as part of ongoing plans for a major makeover and redevelopment of its current home, at Coolum State High School.

I’ve enjoyed working closely with the Club over the past few years on the new masterplan for the site, and we’ve been making some great progress,”

Mr Purdie said.

“Given the hard work, commitment and dedication of the Club and all its volunteers, there’s a bright future ahead for our junior breakers.”

Next year, the club will celebrate its 20th-year milestone, highlighting the incredible achievement of winning the AFL Queensland 2024 Club of the Year award in its limited history.

The club features Junior and Youth teams ranging from AusKick up to under 17 age groups for Girls and Boys. Coolum Beach Breakers have also actively supported initiatives to ensure sustainable growth for AFL on the Sunshine Coast including junior umpiring pathways and supporting local school carnivals.

Sweet cupcakes to celebrate National Meals on Wheels Day ON WEDNESDAY August 28 Meals on Wheels across Australia celebrated and thanked their volunteers for the amazing job they do. Coolum Beach Meals on Wheels President Sue Green said it was important to recognise their volunteers on this day.

Many don’t realise too much or too little oestrogen can disrupt our whole system.

For example, high levels of circulating oestrogen can contribute to our state of stress - “fight or flight”, certain cancers and histamine issues.

A well-functioning bowel (at least 2 good sized poops a day) helps clear excess oestrogen, otherwise it will quietly remain in our bowels being re-absorbed and recirculating daily.

3 Simple Starters for Meaning and Wellbeing Oriental yoga chi gung (OYCG) can help you with meaning, purpose and wellbeing in your life encouraging a healthy body mind and spirit.

3 simple starters for this journey include: 1. Learning by listening and being more intuitive; 2. Exercising and meditation regularly with postures and flowing movements to help the flow of energy, and 3. Getting out in nature and the sun connecting to the natural environment.

Firstly, learning by listening with the view that you know you know nothing, and life is a wonder. This approach eliminates some of the blockages around ‘what do I think I already know’ or that I am attached to my view point and wants. You might

like to cultivate the approach that I don’t know and challenge your most passionately held views.

Secondly you need to quieten the mind with meditation, slow breathing and OYCG exercise. The practice is very nurturing and body friendly, building strength, balance and vitality.

Thirdly you need to get out in nature as this can help you to nourish and clear the mind body and spirit.

Find direction by turning inwards and listening to yourself. Try “earthing” with a bare foot walk on the beach or in the bush to invigorate.

Men and women are invited to join a class and no previous experience is necessary.

POLITICAL TALK? Dear editor, Just asking who’s applauding the Federal Pollie who keeps opening his mouth to let the wind blow his tongue around, spitting and trumpeting ignorant, hateful rants? .

Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach.

PEREGIAN LAND BUY Dear editor, Thank you for your article ‘Acquisition of Peregian Beach…’ (Advertiser Aug 14), which has honestly made my day. Two weeks ago when I was driving from Peregian to Maroochy (Sunshine motorway), I was saddened to see a dead koala in the middle of the highway. I had the impression he was a young buck wanting to cross the road to find a mate.

I wondered again why there aren’t animal under-passes for these (and other animals) beautiful creatures who are a symbol of Australia no less!

To finally learn of the acquisition of a chunk of land for a conservation park is heartening news and a long time in the making. As the article says, “… given the long running campaigns first waged by the community over 20 years

ago …”

Your article continues: “…

SCEC … and looks forward to further additions in future to safeguard habitat and ecosystems.” Yes exactly, more land with valuable habitat urgently needs the same protection and designation, as we have witnessed far too many decades where this didn’t happen, when it should have.

It’s unfortunate we’ve waited until the last minute when so many species are on endangered lists or threatened lists.

Obviously, species once lost, cannot be replaced. Imagine if we still had the Tasmanian tiger and all the other species and fauna that have been wiped out.

Aboriginals are entirely correct when they consider what they’re leaving for future generations. It’s a pity more people don’t take a leaf out of their book. Hopefully, after hearing this latest news, there’s still time to get there.

Name supplied Bli Bli.

STATE ELECTION Dear editor, Thank goodness it looks like Queenslanders will hopefully not be listening to people like Dylan White (Advertiser

LTE 14.8.24) when casting their votes at the forthcoming election.

Perhaps we could look at what a political party will do to hold on to power. So let’s give everyone $1000 (of borrowed money) and then a big sweetener of 50c bus fares (again borrowed money) and then hey, why don’t we open some State Government Fuel Stations.

Everyone knows we have the expertise to do that even if we don’t have anyone on our side of politics who knows anything about small business.

These things will surely take the electorates mind off ambulance ramping, the fractured health system, youth crime, the Olympics infrastructure debacle, and the midnight union meeting to install our new premier.

This state government have had 22 out of the last 25 years to fix the problems in this state and they have failed miserably.

Time they were gone.

Peter Bayliss, Peregian Springs.

Happy Gardening SANDRA GODFREY BLI BLI AND DISTRICT GARDEN CLUB

PHILODENDRONS PHILODENDRONS have become increasingly popular over the last few years. They deserve that popularity as they are hardy, versatile, and some of the leaves are quite beautiful.

They can be grown inside and out depending on the species and the position.

They are mostly climbing plants and can be found in tropical rain forests around the equator and in the Caribbean countries.

There are hundreds of varieties and species, so of course that encourages keen collectors to seek out the one they just have to have.

There are many varieties which will happily grow as indoor plants. One that comes to mind is the Pothos. For many years, the Pothos vine has been a popular choice to grow indoors. It will grow in water or well-drained soil and can be

trained to wind around shelves and even furniture as long as it is fixed in place. It is said to be an air purifier and gives the householder a sense of wellbeing. It is low maintenance, but will benefit from a misting of water occasionally.

Some of the more colourful and exotic looking philodendrons have become very popular with collectors.

They are some of the most desirable plants of all and the keen collector will seek them out. During the pandemic, the prices went through the roof, mainly due to demand exceeded the supply. There were cases when some rarer plants reached prices of over $2,000. Each! The prices have come down now for most cultivators because a lot have been produced by tissue culture. Probably one of the most popular varieties is one called the Pink Princess. It is an unbelievably pink colour and deserves that status.

Like everything else, it’s simply a case of supply and demand.

Another plant in the Araceae family is the Monstera which is demanding high prices.

NO sorry - not the one we have growing in our back gardens. This one in particular is called the Variegated Miniature Monstera. It is said to be one of the most expensive plants at this present time. It is truly stunning. There will be more about some great pot plants at a later date.

I have got masses of dandelions overtaking the lawn at the moment. They are flat and have a long tap root. So as mentioned before, the most effective way to be rid of them, is to place a dessert spoon of salt in the centre of the plant.

Results should show in a couple of days. I am finding a simple way to kill weeds growing in crevices around your pool is to use straight white vinegar. Take care not to splash your plants though!

Happy gardening.

Event Showcase THE SHINING HOUR

Modern folk and Americana THE ARTISTS behind the acclaimed concert tour ‘Blue Bayou’ return to the Sunshine Coast this September with their fresh take on modern folk, bluegrass and Americana in their band ‘The Shining Hour’.

This folk supergroup, which will tour to Maleny, Pomona, Coolum, and Eudlo from September 5-8, features the multi-award-winning talents of Nadia Sunde (vocals), Marcus Church (guitar and vocals) and Paul Henderson (banjo).

Audiences can expect to hear a pin-drop as the trio gathers around a vintage-style single mic to perform their collection of stunningly crafted originals and curated covers. Celebrated as master storytellers, performers and songwriters, the trio share a passion for modern folk and bluegrass as well as great coffee, homemade bread and a good laugh.

Vocalist Nadia said she can’t wait to perform for Sunshine Coast audiences.

“The Sunshine Coast feels like a second home to me, I have so many amazing memories with audiences in these gorgeous venues.

Bringing this band and these songs into these spaces is going to be incredible. I can’t wait!”

Nadia Sunde is familiar to Sunshine Coast audiences through her work as a regular collaborator with Maleny musician Linsey Pollak on projects for the Horizon and

Woodford Folk Festivals, as a lead vocalist with Red Chair’s The Playlist, and as a former radio announcer for ABC Coast FM. She has received numerous national and international awards as a singer, songwriter and performer, including a Queensland Music Award, APRA Art Music Award, International Songwriting Award, and a Gold Coast Creative Industries Award.

Marcus Church has recently returned from a trip to America, where he received a scholarship to study with legendary bluegrass guitarist Bryan Sutton (Ricky Skaggs, Dixie Chicks) and performed in concert alongside Bryan, Jerry Douglas (Emmylou Harris, Union Station, James Taylor) Chris Eldridge (Punch Brothers, Mighty Poplar) and other legends. More recently, he toured as a featured artist with The Australian Guitar Spectacular.

In addition to being a highprofile Brisbane guitarist, Paul Henderson is one of the country’s finest bluegrass banjo

coolumadvertiser.com.au players. He’ll be fresh off the plane after a tour of the US when the band brings their unique brand of modern folk to the Sunshine Coast.

8| OZHARVEST CELEBRATES A DECADE OF COMMUNITY IMPACT AUGUST 28, 2024 - SEPTEMBER 10, 2024

coolumadvertiser.com.au

THE 10TH Anniversary of OzHarvest Sunshine Coast and Gympie has been a bittersweet celebration for the founder, Michele Lipner OAM, its many volunteers, food donors, charities and supporters who have been part of the food rescue organisation’s remarkable journey.

Bittersweet because Michele, who started OzHarvest Sunshine Coast out of her home garage in August 2014, stepped down as Chapter Coordinator at the 10th Anniversary celebration which was held at the Maroochy RSL Events Centre

on August 22.

Division 9 Councillor Maria Suarez was at the special celebration and praised Michelle.

“The credit for the growth and success of OzHarvest in our region is largely due to Michele Lipner who is an incredible human, mentor, educator and go-getter.

“The volunteers who have given so much of their time and energy is no doubt largely due to Michele’s unwavering drive and enthusiasm.

“OzHarvest will no doubt miss you very much and I can’t wait to see what you get up to

next.”

Michele was humble in accepting such praise.

“At our 10th Anniversary we are able to reflect on our accomplishments,” Michele stated.

“With everyone’s ongoing support, this Chapter will continue to go from strength to strength and I am so very proud of what we have all achieved in ten years. We have made a huge difference in our community.”

OzHarvest Sunshine Coast and Gympie has certainly made a huge impact in the last ten years, most importantly, saving

1.1 million kilograms of food waste from landfill – the equivalent of more than 2.8 million meals.

Those meals have nourished many people in need at 50 local schools, charities, community centres, churches and community programs from Gympie down to Caloundra and inland to the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

However, the focus hasn’t just been on food rescue and distribution. The Sunshine Coast & Gympie Chapter has established education programs at local schools, started

team-building events for local businesses (Cooking for a Cause), created a strong community outreach program through presentations, displays and information stalls - and even published a recipe book, SunnyCoast Eats.

Ten years ago, there were

three volunteers, four food donors and three charity recipients. Now there are 140 volunteers, 35 food donors and 50 charities. What a wonderful legacy Michele has left the local community, and what significant opportunity remains to help feed local people in need and advocate for zero waste.

Over the ten years of operation OzHarvest volunteers have risen from just three to over 140.

A look back in time FRANCES WINDOLF A LONG TIME COOLUM RESIDENT WITH A PASSION FOR LOCAL HISTORY

LOOKING BACK TO 1956 THE RECENT Olympic and Paralympic games in Paris have reminded us that the Olympic Games will be held in Brisbane in eight years’ time, but I have thought back to my childhood, and the Olympic Games held in Melbourne in 1956. Comparing life in Coolum with life in Melbourne at that time - the differences were huge!

I have strong memories of the Melbourne Olympics, partly because my uncle was the “Attaché” for Hong Kong in those games, and the tiny Hong Kong team were frequent

visitors to my grandmother’s home, but also because many aspects of the games affected the small country town I lived in.

The opening of the games saw a crowd of residents pack into the newly-built RSL hall to watch the opening ceremony on a tiny TV set – the first TV viewing in our district. As we watched hundreds of doves released there was a universal “Ooooh” from residents at the wonder of it all, making us feel part of a much wider world!

But what was Coolum like at that time? At the end of 1955 there had been 23 students in years one to eight in the tiny State School on

the corner of Warrack Street and South Coolum Road, and during the summer holidays the entire school building was transported to the present Primary School site on a truck, where it still stands.

Early in 1956 local people were horrified at a proposal that our pristine beaches could be “mined” for rutile, zircon and monazite, and Coolum residents reacted angrily, supported by Queensland’s first environmental action group, the Save the Trees campaign.

Coolum residents have been known for their degree of environmental awareness ever since then!

The “Memorial Hall” [which many older residents remember as the cinema which stood on today’s “Macca’s” site] was used for dances and meetings, but as Coolum had no electricity connection until December 22, 1956, movies were shown on 16mm

projectors, powered by a petrolfuelled car engine.

Point Arkwright was declared “a reserve for township purposes” in 1914, but that area was not opened for sale by the Lands Department until 1957, and to get to there and Yaroomba [known in 1956 as “Coronation Beach”], motorists had to drive via South Coolum Road as there was no road along the coast from Coolum. It was not until 1957 that houses in Coolum began to expand inland behind the beach front, on the north side of Yandina Road. Beach Road, between Pacific Terrace and the Esplanade was the first bitumen in Coolum … in 1957!

What a difference from today’s Coolum. However, the unifying aspect from that time is that we all love the Coolum area.

CELEBRATING READING THIS BOOK WEEK VANESSA HALL

If you have a child at school, you will know that the ever popular annual ‘Book Week’ is well and truly here. Why not get amongst reading all year by popping by one of the many little libraries which are dotted over the region such as this one on the corner of Springfield and Cinnamon Avenue in Coolum.

We love this little one with the dedicated children’s book

shelf. These little community libraries work on an honour system – take a book and put one in or bring the book back once you have read it – happy days and happy reading!

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.

DIVISION 9 SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL

NEW PATHWAY I WOULD like to thank Noosa Council for their support for a new pathway and crossing point from Peregian Breeze to David Low Way along Emu Mountain Road that will significantly improve the safety of people riding or walking in this area.

The final details are still being confirmed with the Department of Transport and Main Roads and the cycling community and once that has been finalised, I’ll be able to share the full and final design.

Other locations were considered but this location was identified as the safest option because vehicle speed is lowest at 47km/hr (changes should lower this further), residents and school children already cross at this point to go north to the village or south to Coolum, and it joins up with existing footpath networks south and proposed future Noosa footpaths.

The current design is for the new pathway to adjoin the pathway at the exit from Old Emu Mtn Road. Boardwalks will extend over existing crossroad culverts. Batters will be in place for safety and a concrete path will be placed on this away from the road edge. The existing track through the national park to Peregian Breeze will remain. Proposed improve-

Dan Purdie

MEMBER FOR FAIRFAX ments at the David Low Way crossing point are likely to reduce vehicle accidents, improve crossing safety by reducing width of road to cross, improve cyclist safety by reducing vehicle speeds and risk of side-swipe crashes, and create a slower speed environment.

Wire barriers will be used rather than full metal barriers wherever possible to address amenity concerns and vegetation will naturally grow up the required batters, however planting is able to be started early to assist with offsets and provide shady paths.

The next steps are to finalise the design, and then to apply for grant funding to be able to progress construction of the pathway. If successful, then construction would likely occur in late 2025 to early 2026.

COST OF LIVING PRESSURES – NAMBOUR FORUM RECENTLY I brought together community organisations to a forum in Nambour to discuss cost-of-living with Senator Jane Hume who chaired an inquiry into the issue. She has heard first-hand many harrowing accounts of the impact families across Australia are feeling. The swapping of ideas between attendees on practical measures to assist those in our community most in need made this forum really valuable.

New data shows that 49 per cent of Australians are fearful of turning on their heater due to the increased cost, which means half of all Australians—whether they be seniors, whether they be people with disabilities, whether they be veterans or

MEMBER FOR NINDERRY whether they be hardworking families, are going cold.

Australians are now paying among the highest prices in the world for electricity. Every single week, an extra 600 families have gone on hardship arrangements with their energy retailer because they can’t afford their power bills.

Agencies which attended the Forum came from across the Sunshine Coast and included local organisation Coolum Beach Meals on Wheels, The Salvation Army, St Vincent de Paul, Busy at Work, Northshore Community Centre, Maroochydore Neighbourhood Centre, The Shack Nambour and Rotary.

If I or my office can be of assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out on (07) 5479 2800 or at ted.obrien.mp@aph.gov.au.

GET IN TOUCH As always, please contact council direct for any service requests such as road hazards, graffiti, dumped rubbish, parking, parks, potholes, roads, trees and waste collections.

Contact details or service request forms are available at www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au or call 5475 7272.

NATIONAL RECOGNITION FOR BREAKERS JUNIOR AFL Congratulations to the Coolum Beach Breakers Junior AFL Club, who have been recognised with two impressive awards. As well as being awarded the best Qld AFL Club for 2024, club volunteer and team manager Amy Sheehan also took out the Toyota AFL National Volunteer of the Year (media category). This is fantastic news for the Club, which has been experiencing significant growth in recent

years, including securing $500,000 earlier this year for new changerooms. Exciting times ahead!

PAINT THE TOWN READ If you happened to see dozens of Coolum State School students roaming the streets of Coolum last week, you would have also noticed them weaving in and out of local businesses, on a magic reading journey.

It was all part of the school’s third annual Paint the Town Read event, a fantastic initiative where local businesses get the opportunity to host the students and read a story. Unfortunately, the event, which is part of Book Week, always falls during a Parliamentary sitting, but it doesn’t stop me from proudly supporting it. Lucky for me, my team in the office were only too happy to fill in to read the book and answer their many questions! Congratulations to the school and all our local businesses who support this great learning experience.

TROY ASCOTT COOLUM STATE HIGH SCHOOL

RAY BARBER

TONY GIBSON A MARCOOLA RESIDENT WHO IS ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

IT’S THAT time of year again. The weather is warming up, the footy finals are looming and…… it’s educational awards season.

That’s right – the spectacular Coolum State High School Celebration of Excellence will be held on the evening of September 11 at the Pat Cavanagh Centre, Coolum State School.

Our annual Celebration of Excellence celebrates our highest achievers in academic, cultural and sporting pursuits and is a truly wonderful demonstration of the extraordinary talent we have here at Coolum High.

Last year, the music was spectacular. No-one in attendance will forget the students’ performance of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s ‘Proud Mary,’ performed as a tribute to Tina Turner who mastered the live performance of this song on stage.

This year, we have more academic award winners than ever before. One thing that is particularly striking is the number of Platinum Award winners.

The Platinum Award is presented to any student who has received a Gold Award during each year of their time at

high school.

Our year 12s in 2024 are just remarkable!

The highlight of the ceremony is the presentation of the ‘Wandama Award,’ which is given to the year 12 student with the highest academic scores at the time of the award presentation. It is a deeply coveted award that last year was won by Jessnee Ng who later recorded Queensland’s perfect ATAR score – a 99.95 – with Jessnee later becoming a TJ Ryan Medallist and winning the coveted University of Queensland’s Vice Chancellor’s scholarship. Students, parents and school staff are all intrigued regarding the identity of our community’s highest scholastic achiever.

Coolum High’s ‘Celebration of Excellence’ has become a pinnacle event in our community; a night of music, celebration, recognition and remarkable achievement. It is a night when we are able to reveal the many, many high achievers in our school to the community. But the real question is….. who will win the Wandama Award in 2024?

RAY BARBER IS A CONSULTANT AT BARBER PORTER SOLICITORS IN COOLUM. HE HAS FORTY YEARS’ EXPERIENCE IN LAW OF PROPERTY, RETIREMENT ND SUCCESSION.

QUELL THE ROMANCE AT THE SOLICITOR’S OFFICE BUYING a house is an affair of the heart. Just like buying a car. They say that first impressions, such as a lovely garden, often sell a house. Next ranking seems to be the kitchen and the bathroom.

But when the heartrate has dropped, the head starts to click in, and it is important that you have not yet signed a contract on the dream house. Ideally, your solicitor gets to comment on the draft contract first and to contribute to the final draft.

No one in the industry will object to your solicitor reading the contract before signing.

You can cool off from your contract if the first screening process did not work. However, the cooling off period is short and you have to pay for the right at the contractual rates.

I have refused to advise some senior clients on their sale contracts until they tell me where they are going. In the postCOVID property market, a few of my clients have jumped at the sale price on offer without costing or locating their next place of residence. That mistake has led to tears before bedtime and, in their senior years, these clients do not deserve that pressure.

When you are a buyer, the

Big or small, we do it all!

results of the building and pest inspection are usually uncontroversial. This is because you have already priced the house’s condition into your offer. Only when the inspection reveals major structural defects do you need to consider rescinding your contract.

Start to finish, your contract usually takes only 30 days in Queensland. Time is of the essence in Queensland residential contracts, so timely communications with your solicitors are important during the course of your conveyancing.

As the buyer, you will be told to insure the house straight away. This is because the contract says that you bear the risk of the property from the date it is signed.

Your dreams and your life savings are at play, so the transaction should be given all seriousness. It will be foolhardy to sign a contract two days before flying out to Bali.

I never did let my heart buy me that red Alfa Romeo. All of my house purchases, however, were affairs of the heart and my contracts saved me from my heart’s excesses.

HORIZON I HAVE been enjoying looking out to sea with the beautiful sunny days we have been having lately. We can see all the way to the horizon which is the line at which the earth’s surface and the sky appear to meet. The sun has been rising over the horizon and we can see it which differs greatly from early on this year when there was lots of rain clouds on the horizon.

This reminds me of one of the events I really have enjoyed like the annual Dawn Awakening Ceremony as part of the Horizon Festival. The event occurs at sunrise on the sand flats of Stumers Creek at Coolum with dance, song and light ceremonies. This is a powerful storytelling and a wonderful and moving spectacle by the local traditional owners the Kabi Kabi First Nation and visiting indigenous peoples. The fire and smoking ceremony are supported by gifted choirs, individual vocalists and musicians. However, this year the festival did not go ahead, and planning is underway for a new festival in May 2025.

I have noted that many of the local festivals in Brisbane and the Gold Coast have many free

opportunities to ensure great community participation like our Dawn Awakening. Hopefully, that can be the case for many of the planned arts and culture events in next year’s Horizon Festival.

Coincidentally, last week we were able to attend a performance of the Bangarra Dance Theatre being the “HorizonCreative Cultural Journey” at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre in Brisbane. The performance highlighted the birth and development of Australian indigenous culture from the Torres Straits and Maori culture from New Zealand.

The connection to country of indigenous peoples from Australia and New Zealand was well explained via the modern Bangarra Dance Theatre interpretation we experienced. The creativity and artistry of the performers and production was really awe inspiring.

It is nice to have the time to gaze out to sea and muse as to what is going to come over the horizon next. As ancient scribes like Lao Tzu would tell us, life is a mystery and beyond understanding so we will often be pleasantly surprised. Enjoy your sunny and cloudy days.

COOLUM COLTS TO HOST SEMI-FINALS

BY PAT CAVANAGH

EXCITEMENT is building for Coolum Colts supporters as they prepare for their firstever A Grade Semi Final to be played at Coolum this Saturday August 31.

The A Grade finished the season as Minor Premiers and will host longtime rivals Noosa Pirates in the Grand Final qual-

ifying game at 5.30 p.m.

When the two teams met two weeks ago Coolum ran out winners in an epic game of football in what long time player Jackson Shearer described as the most intense game, he has ever been part of as they played in front of the loudest and largest crowd ever seen at the Colts home ground.

Coolum Colts Reserve Grade

and U19 will also be playing their semi-finals prior to the A Grade.

The Reserve Grade take on Caloundra at 4.00pm and the U19’s take on Beerwah at 2.30pm.

Club President Simon Kidman said that with three teams playing this Saturday it is an historic moment for the club, and he encouraged all Coolum

Colts supporters who have been involved at any level over the years to come along and “fill the hill” to overflowing.

He further added – “Let’s make history together. Wear your colours, bring your energy, and let’s show our teams the support they need to advance further into the finals series”
