Demons victorious after 35 years

Tthe Pomona Demons defeated Pine Rivers to win the premership Div 3 grand final. Pictured with the Demons is founding club member, Betty Davis AFTER more than 35 years, The Pomona Demons Seniors celebrated their first ever flag. It was long overdue. The Demons are a true grass roots footy team with all the boys living locally (no out of state or even out of Sunshine Coast players). The Pomona Demons started the year with some good numbers on the training track and a number of recruits both new and old faces returning to the club to assist in the Demons quest for its first senior premiership. The Demons started off the year in great fashion winning their first 6 games in a row. Round 7 saw them host PR in the top of table clash. “The match ended in a draw but it was from this game that our belief grew and we knew we could match it with every team in the comp,” said Senior Coach Sam Krushka.

“After a few weeks off the Demons regathered to attack the second half of the season. It was in this period we were able to include some quality players such as Nick Lunn, Joel Kennedy, Joel Krushka and Leigh Kenrick into the line up to strengthen our team. In addition to the new faces we were able to blood some more talent into the squad from the Under 16s including Jesse Lawrence, Alex Mahony, Billy Mahony (At 14, the youngest senior player in the club’s history) Beau Stolberg and Brad Forbes. This inclusion of youth gave the club a look at the senior team in the years ahead,” said Kruska.

Not my fave

NO one could accuse me of being a fashionista, certainly not this winter anyway, where my penchant for wearing teenage boys’ hoodies did not go unnoticed. I have never been accused of being a fashion slave. Of course I dabbled with it over the years and I’d have to say I dabbled a little too hard in the 80s. My golden satin knickerbockers cinched tightly at the waist to highlight the magnitude of the grid iron shoulder pads of my matching top was testament to that, but mostly I’ve pretty much stuck to the basics. The 1980’s were nobody’s friend, but I always thought the 1880’s could have been my best friend. The corsets, the full skirts, the bustles, who wouldn’t look good in that ... and then my daughter decided to have her 18 th birthday party as a burlesque fancy dress and I found out exactly who wouldn’t look good in that. I had my suspicions there could be problems ahead when I read that to able to wear a corset your bust measurement had to be larger than your waist measurement. But I tried one on anyway. Let’s just say after my sister finished pulling like a maniac on the laces at the back of my corset, I started to fear this reenactment from Gone With the Wind wasn’t going to end favourably for Miss Scarlet. My fear was realised when she spun me around to have a look and then started trying to unsuccessfully poke my excess waist measurement up underneath the lacings … all the while screaming “I don’t know nothing ’bout birthin’ no babies”. Perhaps that’s what the bustle and full skirts were for. So there you have it … burlesque, bustiers and bulges Wearing a hoodie to the birthday party … not my fave!

Guns and violence – does any body care?

Continued from page 1

What is this obsession these days, of people owning guns, These gangster-like activities, of firearm hit-and-runs? Every day in the news, there’s a story headline grabbing, A senseless murder, or attempt, a shooting or a stabbing.

Please support Cooroy's Own Monday Monday to to Friday Friday -- 7am 7am to to 4.45pm 4.45pm Saturday Saturday -- 7.30am 7.30am to to 2pm 2pm Sunday Sunday -- 88 am am to to 2pm 2pm

It’s hard to understand, and certainly to justify, Why one man has to decide, another man has to die, Our country once was pretty free, of these threats to human life, But it seems we now accept, this use of the gun and the knife. Television and the films, and certainly the computer game, Are obviously in the picture, and the ones the experts blame. Children watch these stories, featuring mayhem and graphic violence, And we accept the programmes, in quite unheeding silence.

NOOSA

It’s reported that anyone, can easily buy a gun, Some buyers even treat it all, as quite a bit of fun, But it’s a long way from amusing, when it comes to actual killing, Seeing blood in volume, you’d hardly call that thrilling!

SHOOTERS SUPPLIES

The media of course will revel, and labour without end, And interview whoever they can, be it police, a neighbour, a friend, There’ll be cameramen and reporters, broadcasting on-the-spot, Bloodstains on anything, are a most desirable shot.

It’s cause for despair what’s happening to our lives, Filled with these pictures, of murders, the guns, and the knives. Especially when you see the uproar, about killing cattle, While those who want control of guns, are fighting a losing battle. Someone’s killing whales, the country’s up in arms, But the murders and violence, they sound no alarms. The video games may be horrifying with people dismembered and shot, But we are told, the kids like them, so the attitude is “so what??” Jim Dunstan

“OUR first loss of the year in the final roster game was a blessing in disguise as all thoughts of going through the season were forgotten which enabled us to focus on the job at hand. The 2nd semi final saw us travel to Pine Rivers again with a similar result. The difference really came in our attitude for this game and for a lot of young players playing in their first senior final it was a good experience. “The advantage of finishing second saw us get a 2nd chance and play Maroochy at Noosa for Sam Krushka a spot in the GF. The Demons Pomona Demons Senior were dominant all day led by the Coach veteran demon legend Alex McKinnon who turned back the clock to kick 8 magnificent goals, our unstoppable on ball division led by the Magin brothers and a backline gaining in confidence. The Demons were into their first GF since 2007. “Grand Final week saw a lot of nerves and excitement with training and team meeting on a high standard. By selection time there were 25 players included in the final squad with only 22 being able to take the field on GF day, there were 3 unlucky players to miss out. This was a tough time for the club, but as in all great football teams the club is always bigger than the individual. “Grand Final day saw a huge crowd come to support the Dees in their fight for the flag. An undisciplined first 3 quarters saw us trail by 25 points. As a group we really believed we were still a chance to win the game. We came out firing and kicked 6 goals to 2 in the final quarter to secure a thrilling draw. We played like “brothers” and when Peter Larkin snatched a goal off the ground with a second to go, the Demon crowd erupted! We were coming back for a Replay. “GF Replay saw a couple of enforced changes to the Demons line up. This gave an opportunity to two of our young players Dean Rawlins and Jarrad Flinn to step up. For Dean, in particular it was a great reward for the way he handled himself after the disappointment of missing out the week before. For Dean to come out in the replay and kick 4 goals at crucial times was simply an unbelievable story. “The first half was eerily similar to 1st GF but we went into the main break only 12 points down. The feeling in the rooms was again different to the week before with us really believing the game was ours. We came out firing and kicked 4.6 to 1.1 for the quarter to go in 11 points up. A 5 goal last quarter saw the Demons victorious by 25 points to claim the first premiership the clubs almost 40 year history,” said Kruska. “I would like to thank the Club’s Supporters, Sponsors, Volunteers for their efforts contribution to this history making year. “I would also like to thank the committee of Bill, Megan, Jess, Wayne, Scott, Julie, Trav and Paul for their support this year. The amount of hours that this group of people put in this year will never be forgotten. “Also the Match Day Team of Bill, Scott, Phil, Kenny, the Captains Blake & Larko and Chris Taylor for lending his massage skills to the cause. “The most important thanks must go to the 42 players that played for the club this year. It was a special group of players both young and old that made our success possible. The personnel may change slightly next year but I know the hunger for a contest and fighting attitude will remain. Lastly I would to dedicate this premiership to Bill Magin for all he has done for the Pomona Football Club. 30 years of service has finally been rewarded with a Premiership. He is an inspiration to many of us at the club and will continue to be for many years to come. Let’s make it back to back flags in 2012!”

Environmental Superheroes

At the conference Lachlan Clark represented Cooroy State School on stage wearing a beautiful superhero cape that depicted the school’s name, a possum and the environmental topic. FOURTEEN students from Cooroy State School participated in an internationally-recognised environmental education event held on the Sunshine Coast on 11-12 August. The 2011 Australia Post Queensland Kids Teaching Kids Conference had the students sharing their ideas on how they can be environmental superheroes. Students, under the guidance of Narelle Nightingale and Annie Bailey researched an environmental topic and developed a fun, interactive, educational 40 minute workshop which they presented at the conference. Their workshop; “Weeds to Wonderland”; covered the re-establishing of the ecosystem at the Lower Mill Site in Cooroy.

THE annual Mary Valley Scarecrow Festival is about to “open”, making it legal to go “scarecrow spotting” in the SouthEast Queensland region. But organiser Carol Miller is in desperate need of “living crows” to help the stuffed ones make their comeback in the valley. Scarecrow season kicks off on September 24 and it is time to get the registration forms out to the local residents to encourage entries. Once the crows go up from September 24, visitors and locals alike can engage in the scarecrow season favourite activity of “scarecrow spotting”. There is nothing better than downloading the directional map of scarecrow hang-outs, packing a picnic lunch

and the kids, and going for a drive from Lagoon Pocket near Gympie all the way south through the valley to Conondale and Crystal Waters. Or you can do the trip the other way round, if it suits you! If you want to put up a crow yourself, entry is free and there are three categories – children aged five to 15 years, artistic and traditional – but scarecrows cannot be judged unless they are registered and given a catalogue number. The Mary Valley Scarecrow Festival runs from September 24 to October 30. Check out the w e b s i t e www.scarecrows.org.au and contact Mrs Miller on 5446 0100 if you can help out. She said the job requires a small amount of

time and a little organisation. “But mostly it is a lot of fun!” she said.

Open: Mon-Fri 9am-5pm - Sat: 9am-1pm

A GREAT new government initiative has recently commenced in Queensland. You may have seen some of the advertisements on television and in the newspapers. If you are thinking about building a house or even about to buy a newly built house, it may well be worth getting yourself organised and starting your project sooner rather than later. As of August 1, 2011 you may be eligible for a $10,000 grant from the Queensland Government. At this stage the offer is open until January 31, 2012. The official name of the grant is the Queensland Building Boost Grant. It is administered through the Office of State Revenue, however if you are talking to your bank regarding finance for the house in question they should be able to assist you with your application, and in most cases organise payment of the funds. Offer is open applicants who do one of the following:

1. Buy a newly built home. 2. Build (engage a builder) a new home. 3. Build a home as an owner builder (with appropriate licences etc). 4. Purchase new home ‘off the plan’. There is a price limit of $600,000. Being the total cost/value of property (inclusive of land) is not to exceed $600,000. August 1, 2011 through to January 31, 2012 is important. Any contract signed such as a Building Contract, Property purchase contract, ‘Off the Plan’ Purchase contract all need to be between these two dates. For owner builders you must commence construction (lying of house foundations) during this time. The 10,000 payment is generally made at time of purchase settlement. In the case of a construction it is made at the time of your first progress payment. Your bank will generally make these arrangements for you. In the case of an Owner Builder or ‘Off the Plan’, your application is lodged and funded di-

rectly with Office of State Revenue and payment should be made directly to your bank account. One of the additional benefits of this grant is that it is not just available to Owner Occupiers. An Investment Property builder is eligible also. For first time home owners this grant would also be in addition to any First Home Owner Grant that they may receive. The Queensland Building Boost Grant could

represent an ideal opportunity for you obtain some additional funds to assist you with your new home. Talk to your local branch manager about it. Alternatively talk to the Office of State Revenue directly. If you would like to know more about how your local bank can help you with and more information, please contact me on 5447 7131 or on email at fiona.hutchings@bendigo bank.com.au.

COOROY RAG

Wellington’s Way With Member for Nicklin Peter Wellington VALLEY dam site maps in question: In Parliament I have again called for the State Government to remove the previous proposed dam sites in the Mary Valley at Kenilworth and at Traveston Crossing from current government documents. I have also written to the ‘alternative Premier’ and leader of the Liberal National Party to ask, if his party forms government, would he give a commitment not to build the dam at Traveston Crossing, and to remove all restricted sites in the Mary Valley from the government regulations. Ever since the Federal Government stopped the proposed Traveston Crossing Dam, we continue to get mixed messages about the future of the Mary Valley. Recently there has been talk in the community about changes to legislation to remove any reference to the Traveston Crossing Dam. However, a quick check of state government maps has indicated that the proposed Mary Valley dam sites at Kenilworth and Traveston Crossing are still identified as ‘restricted areas’. I believe this uncertainty needs to be cleared up not only for the people living in the Valley but for those people considering purchasing property in the Mary Valley region. Neighbourhood Disputes Bill: The Neighbourhood Disputes Resolution Bill was finalised at the last sittings and the legislation will come into effect in the next couple of months. I believe this new legislation will make it easier for neighbours to resolve who is responsible for trees and fences on common boundaries, and will help neighbours clarify disputes over related issues. I have had many calls from residents interested in this legislation and will have copies available in my office as soon as possible. Meet me in Cooroy: I will be holding my next Cooroy meeting in the Cooroy RSL boardroom on Thursday, October 6. Anyone who would like to meet with me can organise an appointment by contacting my Nambour office on 5441 6933.

Inner Cooroy Link Road Work started this month on construction of this project which will include a new roundabout at the intersection of Mary River Road and Jarrah Street in conjunction with a new link road to the south to connect to Garnet Street. Concerns have been raised by a number of residents and petitions have been formally lodged with council. As a result of these enquiries, I have requested a report be prepared and presented to council on the history of the project, including technical details of the construction and consultation that has taken place. I understand that some residents have real concerns about the project itself and last Saturday I visited many of the affected residents along Garnet Street and spoke with them individually about their concerns. Late this week I will send a letter and Fact Sheet to Cooroy residents, as well as to local media, including the Cooroy Rag, explaining the project and its history in more detail. The project, once completed, will both cater for a growing industrial and residential area, while also helping ensure the safety of motorists and pedestrians in Cooroy’s busy CBD by diverting commercial vehicles. Council will continue to negotiate an access to the Bruce Highway from Mary River Road, as planned. With all of the studies and planning that has been undertaken over many years now, I am confident that this project will provide a positive outcome and a great benefit for the whole of Cooroy. The project should be completed by February 2012 (weather permitting).

Local producers on show Last month I, along with thousands of others, attended the Regional Flavours Food and Wine Show at Brisbane’s South Bank. It was great to see so many businesses from the Sunshine Coast showcasing their fantastic products. Here are the businesses showcasing their amazing products from Division 12: Galeru - Native Rainforest Fruits Cakes, Biscuits, Yoghurt, Fruit Preserves & Juices (Cooroy); iLife Foods - Sources fruit and vegetables - dries and creates superfoods (Tewantin); Kin Kin Tea - Herbal Teas and Organic Fruit (Kin Kin); Noosa Lime Co - Lime Cordials (Tewantin); Super Natural Organics - Giant Garlic (Cootharaba); Tomarata Sensual - Conserves and Condiments (Pomona) These producers are all members of Seasons of the Sun – a council led initiative which supports growers and producers who are the face of the Coast’s blossoming quality fresh food and beverage industry. This program is a part of our Economic Development Strategy. Vandals delay Tewantin Foreshore opening: Sadly, completion of the Tewantin Foreshore splash park and new toilet blocks beside the Noosa Marina has been delayed for opening due to a spate of vandalism on the construction site. Vandalism at the site has caused the destruction and necessary replacement of one of the splash park fixtures and internal toilet cubicle partitions. We will do our best to ensure this new facility is completed prior to the upcoming September school holidays.

Pomona Act Now

Letter to the editor REFERENCE Chairman Cooroy Branch LNP John Andrews’ claim that the Government had recently removed the Valley from State Government Regulations (Letter Editor 17/8/2011). Mr Andrews fails to share with readers, the fact that the Traveston Dam site and the Kenilworth Dam site are both still listed on State Government restricted area maps, as dam sites. On August 4, I again requested that the Government remove both sites from the restricted area maps. I undertook a search of these maps before raising this matter during the last sitting of State Parliament. My reasoning is that if there are no plans for dams in the Mary Valley, there is no

justification for these sites to still be listed on the current maps. I encourage readers to check out the facts for themselves. In relation to other comments raised, I do not intend to enter a mud slinging match with Mr Andrews but the facts are: In the 1998 election the Labor Party with 44 members was one short of a majority. There were 23 Nationals, nine Liberals, 11 One Nation and two Independents Liz Cunningham and myself. There was no prospect of a mixture of One Nation, Liberals and Nationals forming government and for the sake of stability I decided to support Labor. I told Peter

Beattie I would only support his Government on matters of supply (payment for public servants such as nurses, police etc) and motions of confidence. And, when the confidence motion was voted on in Parliament Labor received support from Liz Cunningham as well as me. Six months later the One Nation Member for Mulgrave resigned and the Government was able to govern in its own right. At the 2001 election Labor won with a landslide and has won every election since without any help from me. I can assure you I have always voted Independent.

I WONDER if Cooroy townspeople have considered the additional truck problem facing them if the Kin Kin quarry is allowed to go ahead. If quarry trucks choose to bypass Pomona to take the southern route to markets, a conservative estimate of 40 trucks a day will enter Cooroy over the railway bridge, and return - that’s 80 truck movements a day - stopping at the two Give Way signs in each direction, effectively blocking access to the main business district and greatly increasing the congestion problems already faced at peak times. While Kin Kin and its quarry problems may not seem relevant to Cooroy, how will Lew Brennan’s bypass solve the added congestion of the Kin Kin quarry trucks in your town? Lorraine Bates, Kin Kin

I HAVE just become aware of the Cooroy Inner Bypass Road and Council’s appalling decision to send heavy vehicles down Garnet Street from the Corooy Industrial Estate. Garnet Street is a quiet, minor road in a residential area with a 40km/hr speed limit. I have two children and am very concerned that trucks on Garnet Street will put their safety at risk. Just imagine one large truck running amok in the midst of the many school kids and seniors who daily cross Garnet Street. Equally alarming is the awful consequences that the many trucks and their noise will have on our little neighbourhood and our lifestyle. The character of Garnet Street and its surrounds will be destroyed and pedestrians and motorists alike will face a busy commercial road that is noisy, diesel fume affected, dangerous and unfriendly. This is not a “not in my backyard” issue. It is about a very bad Council decision. In trying to remove trucks from Maple Street, in itself a worthy aim, Council is diverting trucks through a residential area – the reverse should be happening – and severely disadvantaging local residents and their neighbourhood in the process. Trucks and families just don’t mix. This bypass road solution needs a big rethink, no resident should be left disadvantaged. Shae Schillert, Cooroy

Search for new biosphere chairperson NOOSA Biosphere Ltd is seeking two new volunteer community board members to replace outgoing board members, including the inaugural chairman Mr Michael Donovan. Mr Donovan has been chair of Noosa Biosphere Ltd, the community driven organisation supported by Sunshine Coast Regional Council, for the past 3 years since its commencement and he said it was time for a change. “We have over 60 community members volunteering within the Noosa Biosphere, arranged in community sector boards on topics as diverse as education, culture, society, environment and economic development,” said Mr Donovan. “This carries on the model from the former Noosa Council’s community sector boards. The partnership approach between local government, community members and other interested groups continues to further the

UNESCO Man and the Biosphere objectives of conservation, sustainable development and education. “It has been a privilege to work alongside these volunteers and immensely satisfying as we have achieved some fabulous outcomes for our community,” said Mr Donovan. “But it is time for me to move on to other things and let the next generation of community volunteers step up.”With two vacancies on the Noosa Biosphere Ltd Governance Board the organisation is looking for community leaders who have a passion for the region and a willingness to foster collaboration.” Some experience in company directorship either in a public or private field is desirable and for further information including application forms go to www.noosabiosphere.org.au

SOME horse events in S E Qld have been cancelled due to concern about Hendra virus but the Sunshine Coast Area Trail and Endurance riders ( S C AT E R ) held their latest competition at L a k e MacDonald on 6 and 7 August 2011, taking strict precautions to ensure all horses and riders were kept as safe as possible. All horses had their temperatures taken before even being unloaded at the venue and luckily no horse had a raised temperature of over 38.5 centigrade which would have meant an immediate trip home. As CTR’s involve vetting in, which means taking every horse’s temperature, heart rate, respiration and checking overall condition such as gut sounds, checking for lameness etc – both before and after the competition, S.C.A.T.E.R. obtained PPE (personal protection kits) so the people conducting the TPR (Temperature, pulse and respiration) were adequately protected even if they did look a bit like Donald Duck. 38 riders participated from all over the Sunshine Coast with some stalwarts coming from Dayboro and Brisbane. The 20 kilometres ride was quite a challenge due to some innovative judge points ranging from the horse playing football, standing under a tent in trees and going backwards bending to name

a few. The level of horsemanship in S.C.A.T.E.R. is continually being upgraded with judge points challenging the abilities of both horse and rider. It may look really easy until you have a go. It was a beautiful weekend with the base on private property and the ride through forestry with shady tracks and over creeks. Not a lot of time for riders to enjoy the countryside due to having to get a wriggle along to get back to base within the time allowed but everyone enjoyed the ride and we’re looking forward to the next CTR event in October at Valdora, providing of course, we don’t have too much rain. Even now the forests are deceptively wet and soggy. As always a big thank you to everyone involved in this fun competition as although it may seem a relatively simple competition, many volunteers are required to make sure it all runs smoothly and efficiently. We can’t let Hendra virus stop us competing, so we have to be vigilant and responsible so that we have a win win situation or competition – pardon the pun!

MARKET

Every Wednesday

with Sergeant Mal Scott I’M pleased to report that the skateboard which was stolen from the Cooroy State School two months ago has been located and returned to its rightful owner minus the wheels and tracks. Police are still working on the return of the wheels. The board was found after the very good junior detective skills of one of our fine young Cooroy citizens who spotted the board and advised police. A 14 year old boy is currently being dealt with in regards this and other matters. In a good news story, those of you who regularly read my articles will remember the theft of a wallet from a local business owner by a young local lad. Police ended up tracking down the offending lad and dealing with him accordingly. In a sensational twist the local lad was brought together by police to meet the business owner and owner of the wallet to help the lad understand the effect of his behaviour on the victim and the Cooroy community as a whole. The business owner showing the true spirit of Cooroy offered the lad a second chance and actually offered him a job in his shop. I’m pleased to report that apparently the employee/employer relationship is going great guns with the shop owner full of nothing but high praise for his new hard working employee. Who knows, there may even be an apprenticeship in the offering down the track so I’ll keep you informed of the outcome. A small spike in the unlawful entering of motor vehicles has been noted in and around the Cooroy CBD. On most occasions the vehicle in question has been left unlocked with valuable property inside and visible to the outside. Police have several

suspects for these offences so until they can be apprehended please lock your car and do not leave valuable property inside and in clear view. The incidence of Domestic Violence seems to be steadily rising with the heavy financial burden being placed on the family unit which in some cases leads to an emotional explosion that can sometimes led to tragic consequences. As I’ve previous mentioned, the real victims of these arguments are not just the spouses themselves but the kids who witness them. If you are one of the many relationships which are feelings the emotional strain of these stress filled times please take positive steps to address the problem rather than wait for the inevitable blow up and police intervention. Some useful contact numbers are: Mensline: 1800600636, Womensline: 1800811811, Relationships Australia: 1300364277, Lifeline: 131114 and Alcoholics Helpline: 0732559162. People seeking assistance in this regard can also attend there local police station for advice and brochures to assist them where appropriate.

Local schools showcase at Biosphere community day SCHOOL children in the Noosa biosphere region will bring out their creative flair in a region wide first at the upcoming Noosa Biosphere Day community celebrations. Twenty schools across the region, from as far and wide as Federal to Coolum and Sunshine Beach to Eumundi, will be on display at the event scheduled for the 18th of September at the Noosa Woods. The initiative will give the community an opportunity to learn more about local education within the Noosa biosphere reserve, as each school will be creating information boards to be showcased at the event. Stephanie Haslam from the Noosa Biosphere Education Research and Development Board is helping drive the initiative and said that it is the first time all the schools will be coming together on a biosphere activity. “Education is one of the three main purposes of a UNESCO Man and the Bio-

sphere reserve and we are working in partnership with the school principals and their staff to help our youth better understand the Noosa biosphere reserve,” said Mrs Haslam. The displays will be showcased in a dedicated area on the day of the event with prizes to be awarded based on originality and creative flair. “In addition to the schools display, there will be entertainment, workshops, cultural events and festivities for people of all ages as well as many of our local community groups attending with information booths,” said Mrs Haslam. Noosa Biosphere Day will be held on Sunday 18th September in Noosa Woods from 10am – 3pm and sustainable transport options to alleviate parking congestion will be implemented. Check the Noosa Biosphere website on www.noosabiosphere.org.au for more information.

Ben Cameron Hands, Connor Jones IMPACT Boxing’s rising star Benny “The Bulldog” Cameron Hands continued on his winning way last weekend when the boys from Impact travelled down to Caboolture to compete. Benny made it three from three and kept his perfect record intact. “The Bulldog” had to step up from the 30kg division to the 32kg division to get a fight. Ben’s opponent was Jayden McKewan from the Scorpions Boxing Club in Brisbane. The taller and heavier McKewan entered the ring with an air of confidence as he gave Benny the famous fighters glare. The pint sized Bulldog gave McKewan a smile, looked back to his corner, gave them a wink

and waited for the bell. As soon as “The Bulldog” heard the bell he was off after his opponent. Benny landed a crisp left, right & with his superb footwork he managed to change his angle before attacking again. McKewan soon became frustrated with the evasiveness off his smaller opponent. Benny continued to counter punch his lanky opponent, making him miss and making him pay. Benny was awarded a unanimous points decision. “Ben fought an awesome figh. He gave away height and reach and boxed extremely smart. He was evasive and aggressive. He just keeps improving all the time. At the ripe old age of 11 and only 30kgs he is already proving hard to get fights for. That’s

why we nicknamed him “The Bulldog”, cause nobody in his division wants to fight him,” Coach Mark Evans said. Also fighting on the card was Connor “The Crucifier” Jones. Jones opponent was Blake Tate from the Rebels Boxing Club in Brisbane. Jones also had to step up on the night & fight a more experienced boxer in Tate. From the opening bell Jones had Tate on the back foot as he applied his usual pressure backed with some powerful combinations. Both boys put on a crowd pleasing display off boxing for the whole duration of the fight. Both boxers had their moments as the fight see sawed one way then the other. At the final bell it was left to the judges and Tate was awarded a close points victory. “Connor can hold his head high. He has suffered his first loss to an extremely talented boxer and was able to hold his own in there without too many problems. He has again proven that he can dig deep and mix it with the best. I am very proud off both our boys, they are always prepared to give 100% and have proved over and over again that they always come to fight! A big thank you to all our supporters for making the trip down as well. Your support means the world to us!! Thank you!!”

Cooroy Scouts out and about ANOTHER exciting adventure in which the Cooroy Scouts have attended was the SSS Competition Camp in Brisbane over the July school holidays. 2 Patrols travelled down to Brissy and set up camp with over 1000 other scouts from all over QLD for four days. There were plenty of activites on offer including pioneering, cooking, canoeing, woodworking, water activities, lots of skill enhancing, and tons of fun. Abseiling was among the highlights for many. With the next big event having been The Nighthawk this past weekend, the scouts have had plenty to do. This was an overnight hike on the darling downs, on a very cold night, where patrols competed against each other through a series of events which they were then scored on, making it quite challenging for our scouts! The Venturer scouts didn’t attend Nighthawk this year and instead organised their own overnight camp and fundraising activity at the scout grounds to coincide with our Group’s once per term car boot sale. The Ven-

Our Scout Cubs have also been involved in many great activities, including a recent hike to Mt. Tinbeerwah lookout, an activity where they made fake wounds, which coincides with their work on the first aid badge, some cooking, and lots of other games. They are also very excited about the rockclimbing to be held on Thursday afternoon,

Let’s not forget a special mention of our two boys, Ryan Johnstone and Cooper Williams, who have just participated in a ceremony to move them up from our cubs group into the scouts section. This was done with a bit of fun added by the boys being pushed to the end of their cub days in our billy carts! A big congratulations to them both. The term 3 Car Boot Sale was held recently. This was a great success, with the rain holding back until it was almost at an end. We would like to place a special thanks to all those who helped us out, and everyone else who game along as every little bit helps! A special thank you goes to the local business “Cake Pops” who made a generous donation to the scouts. This specialty cake business does beautiful work and is highly recommended.

HAVE I got your attention? I’m writing this for Pomona & District Meals on Wheels, a community non-profit organization that has been cooking for and delivering meals to mostly elderly people for 22 years. An apt saying is: “What goes around, comes around”, and this is certainly true in that our meal service was on the brink of disbanding 6 years ago when the then president had headed the committee for a decade; she had put in some hard yards and justifiably wanted to move on in her life. You see, we can’t run our business without a committee, so we need some motivated/talented people to come on board to keep this important service operational. Is there anyone out there, possibly now retired and looking for something worthwhile to do (and wanting to keep their brain active), with the necessary skills to take on this business and move on into the next era? The current committee has made some improvements over the

Our big fundraiser is the Pomona Antiques & Collectables Fair that runs on the weekend of the King of the Mountain Festival in late July; each fair has contributed a substantial profit, making the time & effort worthwhile. For those who don’t

know, our kitchen is located in the Pomona Memorial Hall on Reserve St, diagonally across from the ANZ bank. We operate 3 days a week: Monday, Wednesday & Friday, cooking 6500 to 7000 meals yearly. Our customers, either aged or with a disability, want to remain in their hinterland homes for as long

as possible – we help them do that. We cook our meals from scratch using fresh meat, vegetables, fruit and dairy products, taking great pride in doing so.

A LITTLE bit of Italy has found it’s way to Opal Street and it has a unique aspect as a meeting place which is reflected in its name “Locale”. Excitement comes from the convergence of the warm welcoming environment, time honed traditional recipes and the “home away from home” element where everyone is encouraged to linger over a Limoncello and become part of the extended “family” in true European tradition. This food is to be shared and enjoyed with the chatter of the day’s undertakings, with loads of laughter and a glass of Chianti or an icy cold Italian beer. Locale is very proud to have on board well known Manly food identity Herb Sandtler and Isabella and Victor of Ma Mensa Hastings Street fame. The traditional influence will be evident in the eclectic menu with recipes and techniques from Isabellas great Nonna, and in Victor’s intimate knowledge and experience from a career

QLD BOWLS CLUB OF THE YEAR 2010

COOROY RAG ‘DHOM’ Chotipimai and Spencer Willmott recently opened Dhoms Kitchen in Cooroy specialising in traditional Central Thai cuisine. The emphasis is on traditional Thai home cooking as well as some street food favourites made with the freshest local ingredients. Their food is very labour intensive as they make all their curry pastes, marinades and sauces from scratch. This involves long hours in the kitchen. They use a mortar and pestle to prepare many of their dishes and do not use a microwave in their kitchen. “We have been overwhelmed by the response from customers since we opened,” says Dhom. “Our customers find the flavours of our dishes quite unique, as though they are back in Thailand”. “Fresh local produce is very important to us. We like to know where our produce comes from,” says Spencer. “It is also important to support our local producers in these

dining & entertainment Traditional Thai favourites

times of economic uncertainty” he adds. Dhoms Kitchen’s menu changes regularly to reflect the seasonality of locally available produce. Dhom and Spencer are no strangers to Cooroy. They previously operated the very successful Pinto Thai restaurant in town. After selling their restaurant they established a catering business in Cooroy where they also manufactured and developed a product range of Asian curry sauces, pastes, marinades, stocks and dressings which, until recently, they sold at the Noosa Farmer’s Market each Sunday.

“We have had a very good response to our frozen product range and have to come in on our day off to keep up with the demand” says Dhom. “The curry sauces and entrees are so easy to prepare. You can have a meal ready in the time it takes to cook your rice. Our hand made spring rolls and curry puffs can be cooked in the oven in 15 to 20 minutes.” Their Asian product range is manufactured on-site and is available for sale from their shop. Through their time at the farmers markets they have established excellent working relationships with local suppliers (most of whom have

become good friends) such as Noosa Spanner Crabs, Bendele Poultry, Cedar Creek Farm, Gympie Farm Cheese, Steve and Trina Waugh’s Vegetables, Noosa Valley Market Gardens and Hermitage to name just a few, who supply them in their new venture. Dhom and Spencer have also conducted Thai cooking classes at Black Pearl Epicure Cooking School in Brisbane over the years and plan to offer Thai classes at Dhoms Kitchen in the coming months. An ongoing interest in Thai food history and techniques involves travel to Thailand twice a year to document traditional cuisine and collect

material to add to their ever-growing culinary library. Their current focus is on the influence of northern Burmese (Shan) and Yunnanese food on Northern Thai cuisine. They also organise culinary tours to Thailand at least once a year. Dhoms Kitchen is located across from the Cooroy Hotel in Garnet St. It is open for lunch Tuesday to Friday from 11.30 am to 2.30pm, and dinner three evenings a week (Thursday to Saturday) from 5.30 pm. They have already received a mention in the just-released 2012 Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide for their authentic Thai food.

health & beauty Your eyes, diabetes and digital imaging

COOROY RAG

DIABETES is Australia’s fastest growing chronic disease, with 275 Australians developing diabetes every day. Cooroy optometrists Heather McLeod and Jenny Currie from optometry@cooroy remind us that eye care providers play an essential role in the ongoing healthcare of people suffering from diabetes. “The eye in many instances may provide an early warning system” Heather says. “It is generally acknowledged that the most common cause of blindness in young and middle aged people throughout the western world is diabetes”. Jenny says optometrists regularly detect signs in patients, which leads them to being diagnosed as diabetic. “It is not uncommon for optometrists to be monitoring as many as five to ten diabetics a week. In a typical diagnosis scenario, people visit their optometrist complaining of a significant reduction in distance vision or even a distortion of vision,” she adds. Diabetes is often characterised by severe dehydration, which can affect the lens of the eye. For the diagnosed diabetic, optometrists play an important health care role by assisting with the vision problems associated with diabetes and provide further information about diabetic vision management. If diabetes is suspected, patients are referred to their medical practitioner. Once diabetes is stabilised a person’s vision normally recovers over a number of weeks. Heather and Jenny recommend regular eye examinations and believe that a diabetic’s eyes should be examined at least yearly and that visit should include digital retinal imaging. Jenny explains that “We have been providing digital retinal imaging, otherwise known as retinal pho-

The photograph illustrates Diabetic Retinopathy in a patient whose diabetes has been poorly controlled for some time tography, for our patients for several years. It enables us to capture and store an image of the retinal, including the blood vessels and the optic nerve which is located at the back of the eye. This technology enables us to detect subtle changes to structures inside the eye and is useful not only for patients with diabetes but also those with macular degeneration, glaucoma and hypertension.” For more information or for an appointment you can contact optometry@cooroy on 5442 5555., located at 62 Maple Street. www.optometryatcooroy.com.au

Are your kids finding studying a pain? IT’S at this time of the year that our high school kids are studying for their most important school exams. Unfortunately for a lot of kids, the long hours spent hunched over the books results in neck pain, back pain and headaches. Sitting puts a lot of strain on the spine, especially when combined with the flexed postures often seen when using a computer or reading for prolonged periods. Despite the need to study, there are ways to minimise the strain on the spine and prevent the pain and headaches from occurring. Firstly, having a good posture and desk set-up for studying are essential. Make sure that you are sitting with your bottom as far back in the chair as possible and if your lower back is sore, place a small cushion in the curve of your lower back to support it. If your fee cannot touch the ground, get a small stool to place them on. If you have an adjustable chair, ensure that the height of the chair allows you to look at your computer screen without looking up or down too far. When reading textbooks, use a book support or place them on a cushion, bringing them closer to your eyes and

requiring less forward bending of the neck and rounding of the shoulders. Secondly, taking mini breaks every 30-60 minutes allows some relaxation and stretching of the muscles which become tight when studying. Make sure you stand up, walk around and stretch the neck and back muscles. These short breaks will allow you to continue to study for longer with less pain. In addition to mini breaks, ensuring that you get regular exercise is important for numerous factors. Exercise has many positive effects including keeping your muscles strong and flexible, improving your concentration and memory, as well as improving your sleep quality. Despite these positive effects, many people stop exercising when they are studying due to time constraints. As you can see though, a small time sacrifice for exercise will be outweighed by the benefits. If you are suffering with neck or back pain from studying, get some assistance as soon as possible so that you are not sitting through exams in pain. Seek assistance from your local doctor or qualified health professional. Rebecca Steele owns Hinteractive Physio and can be contacted on 5442 5556.

Pomona JKA team ready for World Cup THE Pomona JKA Australian Team members proudly wearing their Australian badge ready for the JKA World Cup Tournament being held in Thailand next week After 5 months of hard training and fundraising the Pomona JKA Australian team is heading off to Thailand to compete in the JKA World Cup. This would not have been possible without the hard work of the club members and ever generous Pomona and surrounding community that have put their hands in their pocket time and time again for each fundraising event. We have had sausage sizzles, a Thai dinner, Easter raffles, Crazy Book sale, Trivia Night, donation tins and a never ending $100 board sold over and over again to raise the funds needed to get

businesses to spend money they didn’t have to and we are extremely grateful for this and every person in the community

these kids to the tournament in Thailand. We at the Pomona JKA-ASKA are forever grateful and would like to say special thanks to the following businesses that have got involved and helped us reach our fundraising target: Pomona Produce & Pet Supplies, Hollyhock Cottages, Red Bridge Motor Inn, Pomona Hotel, Pomona Bowls Club,

Cooroy Rag, Bunnings Noosaville, Dan Murphy’s Noosaville, Pomona Community House, Food @ Eumundi, Cocoa Chocolat, Pomona Post Office, Cooroy RSL, Gitshams Prime Foods, Pumps Plus Cooroy, Pomona True Value, Sala Thai Eumundi. We understand in this economic climate how much is means for these

that helped along the way, every 5 cents dropped in our donation tin means the world to us. THANKYOU!

sport Zak heads to Malaysia for World tournament

COOROY RAG

ZAKARIA Kahlid starting doing karate at the age of 5, while still in Grade One. He has been training with Shihan Wayne Macdonald, at Noosaville Dojo for that entire time. Zakaria is a 2nd Dan Blackbelt and started competing about five years ago. During this time he has won many Gold, Silver and Bronze medals in both Kumite and Kata. Zakaria has been selected for the State team for all of these years and most recently competed internationally for Australia in Tahiti last year where he achieved a Gold Medal. This year Zak has competed in the Sydney International Tournament – Gold; Queensland State Tournament – 2xGold; Commonwealth Tournament – 1 Gold and 1 Silver; Nationals – 1 silver. Zak has just been chosen for the junior/cadet World tournament being held in Melaka Malaysia in October. He will be representing Australia and there is only one athlete per division per country chosen, so this is a huge honour. 100 countries will be participating in this event. This is also the highest level of competition that Zakaria can participate in at his age. Zak’s parents are obviously extremely proud of his achievements. Zak is looking for sponsorship so if anyone can assist in this regard please phone Darlene Kahlid on 0411 428 593 as it would be much appreciated.
