GO NOOSA TIGERS! With Australia Day coming up what could be more Australian than Aussie Rules footy?

And now it’s your chance to wave the flag by getting behind our very own Noosa Tigers AFL Club.

With the first game of Season 2014 just around the corner plus a new senior coach – James Gellie - and a new competition – QFA (North) - it’s time to get on board.

Membership is only $25 and Big Kahuna Peter Thynne - from the Surf Club Res-

taurant at Noosa Heads Surf Club - is giving every new, or renewing, member a free $25 meal voucher!

Peter is heading up the Noosa Tigers AFL Support Group – The Richmonds – in a bid to boost the club this season.

“We’re called the Richmonds because Richmond AFL Club are called the Tigers, too. We have also launched a ‘sister’ club relationship with them. We have supplied them with three,

all-inclusive Noosa holiday prizes to raffle nationally via their 19 supporter groups, with proceeds being shared equally with the Noosa Tigers.”

Noosa Tigers are back in training – Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 5.30pm sharp.

Season 2014 kicks off on March 29, with the grand final being played on September 6.

INFERTILE KOALAS SENTENCED TO DEATH ISOBEL COLEMAN Noosa’s battle to save the koala took a turn for the worse this week, with rumours confirmed that those unable to breed are being euthanized.

Coast koala campaigner Carolyn Beaton told Noosa Today that most infertile koalas are destroyed, even if they could be returned to good health and released back into the wild.

“Unfortunately this is true – it’s a long-standing policy of the Department of Environment & Heritage Protection.

It has been the case as long as I have been involved in koala conservation, 2007, and maybe a lot longer,” she said.

“This is one of two koala policies that we [Queensland Koala Crusaders Inc] feel is very wrong and we are lobbying the State Government at every turn. The other policy is in relation to the translocation of koalas.

“But there is a sense it is all falling on deaf ears, heightening despair amongst koala rescuers and carers.”

With the de-amalgamation process complete and our new Noosa Council in place, it’s time to re-visit the Noosa Shire boundary issue.

While the hinterland communities of Cooroy, Pomona and others are secure within our boundary, others – namely Eumundi, Doonan and Verrierdale – remain in Maroochy Shire.

But the majority of residents in those communities want that to change. They wish to be part of Noosa Shire, as that is where they generally work, play, shop and educate their children.

This isn’t a new concept – the EDV Residents Group was formed in February 2004, following a public meeting of concerned residents.

Members of the group worked tirelessly on the campaign to restore Noosa’s independence, joining forces with the Noosa Biosphere Association, Noosa Parks Association and Friends of Noosa to form the Noosa Independence Alliance. It can certainly be argued that the EDV Group played a significant role in giving us back our own Noosa Council.

Cooroy-based Noosa Councillor Sandy Bolton told Noosa Today: “The push by the EDV Residents Group is well supported by a number of key Noosa organisations and many residents that I have spoken with. As with any initiative, consultation would need to be undertaken with the communities involved to ascertain the level of support for a boundary change.

Sandy Bolton EDV Group will be held on Saturday, February 1, at the Doonan Café, 777 EumundiNoosa Road, Doonan at 11am.

The group’s objective is for the suburbs of Eumundi, Doonan, Verrierdale and Weyba Downs to be incorporated into the Noosa Shire before the 2016 local government elections.

The majority of residents in the Noosa Shire seem more than happy for those communities to join us. Yet, as evidenced by our letters page this week, there are a few who don’t.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? Email your letters to editor@localnewsnetwork.com.au

“(I) am very much in favour should all the communities involved be committed and desirous of this.”

“The common endeavours, shared services, cultural heritage and environmental ethos of these areas with the Noosa Shire is well demonstrated, and I personally am very much in favour should all the communities involved be committed and desirous of this.”

Block stars just love Noosa ISOBEL COLEMAN NOOSA EXCLUSIVE

More than two million Australians watched them win The Block All Stars but, on Sunday morning, Phil Rankine and Amity Dry were just two happy parents having fun in the sun with their kids.

In fact, they were making the most of their last day in Noosa, before heading south and it was clear from their faces, they didn’t want to leave.

“We’ve always loved it here and this is the first real holiday we’ve had in over a year,” Amity told Noosa Today.

“It’s been an amazing year but we really needed a break and this was the obvious choice. We used to stay on Hastings Street but now we have the children, we love staying on Gympie Terrace.”

Phil and Amity first featured on The Block in 2003. But it wasn’t until they took p a r t

again, in The Block All Stars, that they showed what they were made of and won - and became instantly recognisable wherever they went.

“But we don’t mind that. Because we did reality TV people think they know us and I guess they do in a way,” Amity said.

“We invaded their TV so it’s only fair we stop and chat with people that’s all part of it. We never say no,” Phil added.

But taking part in The Block wasn’t the only thing that made 2013 such a huge year for the couple, and their children Jamieson and Poppy.

A singer/songwriter in her own right, Amity also hit the road with her critically acclaimed show, Mother, Wife & the Complicated Life.

This smash hit musical show takes a hilarious and heart-warming look at marriage and motherhood, and has toured Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Penned by Amity, the show has enjoyed packed houses and standing ovations and also saw the family travel to the USA, after an invitation to perform at the New York Musical Theatre Festival.

Now Amity and Phil, a concert promoter who manages and markets the show, plan to bring the show to Queensland – and maybe even Noosa.

“We’d love to bring it here if it’s possible,” Amity said.

It was clear the family loved Noosa and wished they could stay longer.

“We haven’t been for five years and we are really impressed with how Noosa has grown as a holiday location,” Phil said.

“It’s so family-friendly and the customer service is excellent. We’ve enjoyed five-star dining that caters for kids, which is amazing.

“Gympie Terrace is a perfect location – we can walk everywhere and the kids love swimming in the river.”

And young Jamieson was quick to point out that he not only took surfing lessons, but stood up, too!

“It’s clear the people who work here, love working here, and who wouldn’t,” Phil said.

And if they could move here for good?

“I’d like a house on the canals, maybe Witta Circle,” Amity said.

“Now that would be great!”

“We invaded their TV so it’s only fair we stop and chat with people”

Signs positive for real estate surge ISOBEL COLEMAN Real estate sales are on the up and that’s official! And that’s good news for vendors, real estate agents and the local economy.

The boost was confirmed this week by the government, property guru Michael Matusik and the market itself.

John Petralia of Ray White Commercial Noosa clinched an impressive $8.25 million sale, on behalf of the Brisbane-based Comiskey Group.

Beachmere Village, a tenanted shopping centre at Beachmere, north

of Brisbane, was sold to a local investor, for a yield of approximately 9.6 per cent.

Mr Petralia said the centre had been on the market with other agencies before being successfully sold by Ray White Commercial Noosa.

“After negotiating a number of offers from the buyer and counter offers from the sellers, we were able to bring the two parties together to a mutually agreeable price,” he said.

The sale came as a new report showed Queensland’s property industry was the most confident in the nation.

The Property Council of Australia – ANZ Property Industry Confidence Survey confirmed that Queensland

was leading the way with a surge in confidence for the March quarter of 10 points.

There has also been a strong increase in the number of lodgements with the Queensland Titles Registry in 2013.

Minister for Natural Resources and Mines Andrew Cripps said latest statistics show the Titles Registry received an average 3,240 lodgements per day during December 2013, well above the overall 2013 daily average of 2,640 lodgements.

“These figures are good news for Queensland’s property market and shows continued optimism in the recovery of the economy and confidence in the policies of the Newman

Government,” Mr Cripps said.

“Construction is one of the four key pillars of the Queensland economy and strong property market activity is great news for economic growth and jobs in this sector.”

Property commentator Michael Matusik said the Sunshine Coast real estate market was set to shine in 2014.

He said according to statistics based on RP Data figures, the underlying demand for property was rising and house sales were trending upwards.

Discrimination is the answer to boost jobs JOLENE OGLE Local community organisation United Synergies will ask Noosa Shire Council to discriminate when it comes to employing staff.

United Synergies CEO Christopher John said the aim is to discriminate in a positive way by employing young people facing homelessness, to complete jobs such as park maintenance and office cleaning.

Speaking exclusively with Noosa Today, Mr John said a lack of employment can begin a vicious cycle for young people aged between 16 and 25, which often leads to homelessness.

Mr John said he hopes to discuss the concept with both Noosa Shire Council and the Sunshine Coast Council and talk about making a social choice to “not just go for the best and cheapest” labour when employing staff.

United Synergies will ask the two councils to recognise that positive discrimination is “not necessarily in the best interest of the general population but it’s in the best interest of those most vulnerable”.

“Part of the challenge that we’ve got with such high employment across the Coast is even good quality people can’t get a job so those that have fewer skills have no chance,” Mr John said.

“That sort of despondency is part of the challenge that has an impact on the psyche of individuals and family and generational issues.”

Mr John admits it will take extra focus and effort to guide such recruits but the outcome will be worth it when the cycle of homelessness is broken.

United Synergies’ Tonya Stock said positive discrimination is like scaffolding, a way for vulnerable youths to get their foot in the door “so they can get on their way”.

Council to review Biosphere Reserve management Noosa Council wants a review of its management arrangements with Noosa Biosphere Reserve and at its meeting on Monday decided to form a working group consisting of Mayor Noel Playford and Councillors Bob Abbot, Frank Pardon and Tony Wellington, to oversee the new deal.

“This is our opportunity of getting much more community involvement in biosphere reserve activities and projects and a much greater understanding of what can be achieved.”

Deputy Mayor Bob Abbot said this was an “exciting time for this council and the community. It’s a very new and very great opportunity to build a project around the Noosa Biosphere Reserve as a signature of approval of not only what we have done in the past but as a guiding point to what we can do in the future “It’s an opportunity no one will ever get again. It is time to get it right and do it properly. “

A tribute to the work of Biosphere Reserve volunteers in the past six years was made by Cr Frank Wilkie.

“They’ve been the ones working to foster a broader understanding of the Noosa Biosphere reserve, raised its profile nationally and internationally, forged community partnerships, and created a body of work that forms the solid foundation for this next phase,” he said.

“There’s been a deep appreciation of the expertise and efforts of the existing Noosa Biosphere governance and sector board volunteers as being an integral part of the feedback needed for this community-wide review.

“There’s also been gracious and honest recognition by the board members that much more can be done to increase community understanding.”

Noosa’s Biosphere Reserve status was awarded by UNESCO in 2007, recognising Noosa as a site of excellence where the community comes together to find the best ways of living and working sustainably in a beautiful environment.

1021-104

It also decided Crs Pardon and Wellington should be directors on the board of Noosa Biosphere Ltd (NBL).

Since amalgamation, NBL has been a company owned by the Sunshine Coast Council.

Now that ownership is back in Noosa, the Council, as Mr Playford made clear, wants to know what it can achieve for Noosa and what local communities want.

“We’ve all seen in the past few years just how strongly our community feels about its right to have a say in what happens here.

Council move – “a terrific decision” JIM FAGAN Chairperson Dr Sue Davis of Noosa Biosphere Ltd governance board has welcomed the Noosa Council decision to increase its involvement Biosphere Reserve activities.

She was present at Monday’s Council meeting and later told Noosa Today that it was “a terrific decision for the community, the NBL and our sector partners.

“We’ve had the Biosphere Reserve status for five or six years and in terms of other places in the world we’ve actually made good headway.

“There have been issues with the level of support

and some conflicts about how things should be progressed within the community so this is signalling we are all on the same page and all the negativity is being left behind.

“This is a new future for us to work together, build on what has been achieved and to find a way to get everyone else on board.

Really the idea of being a Biosphere Reserve is really a notion about custodianship, about how we live here and look after this place.

“Everyone who lives here is in a way a biosphere member. We can do all our bit and many people are.

This is now about looking at the different mechanisms and channels we can create,” she said.

Bruce Cresswell, committee member of the Noo-

sa Biosphere Association, was also at the council meeting and later he said: “The concept of a review and the approach to the Noosa Biosphere Reserve, particularly as it is going to be community based, looks good for the future.

“At the end of six years I’m not sure we have a full community understanding of what Biosphere Reserve is. I’m fairly sure we don’t have an understanding of what it can create for local businesses not just tourism.

“I think the concept of a free discussion and a new design based on what we know now can only deliver real value into the future.

“Everybody is working in the right way. I believe this consultation approach will produce a brilliant result for people of Noosa. I have no doubt about that.”

Council to oppose new Council to defend Peregian shopping centre Masters’ JIM FAGAN Noosa Council will oppose a development plan for a second shopping centre on the site of the former Peregian Beach Bowls Club in Rufous Street, one councillor telling the council at its meeting on Monday it was a “threat to the village atmosphere of Peregian Beach.

“Very close to one in four residents in Peregian have made a submission opposing this development.

We should keep that in mind,” Cr Tony Wellington said.

Council was deciding on a request by the Planning and Environment Court to advise it of what Noosa Council would do it if it was asked to decide on the application.

Outlining the reason for this, Mayor Noel Playford said the applicant had appealed to the court on what is called a “deemed refusal” because the Regional Council had not decided on the application in the time prescribed under the Sustainable Planning Act. “That’s their right. The court has now requested Noosa Council to advise it of what we would do if we were in a position to decide the application. That is required by the court for the appeal so it our job now to decide whether we would approve it or refuse it and if refuse it the reasons for refusal.”

A Council assessment of the application is that it presents considerable conflicts with the Noosa Plan creating “unacceptable impacts on traffic operations and safety at the intersection of Woodland Drive and David Low Way. It will also triple

“There is already a Coles only three and a half kilometres away from Peregian.” traffic volumes on Rufous Street and have a substantial impact on local residents.”

“The recommendation is for Council to advise the court that were we in such a position, we would refuse the application,” Mr Playford said.

Cr Wellington said that apart from losing land for community recreation purposes, including the CBD is basi-

appeal

cally bad planning and that is what the is application requests.

“It would inevitably draw a significant amount of traffic away from the current CBD in Peregian.

People as we know tend to drive to supermarkets. They don’t walk to them and there is already a Coles only three and a half kilometres away from Peregian.

“This development threatens the village atmosphere of Peregian Beach and if there was a supermarket isolated from the current facilities, such as bakers and post offices, it would further damage the current viability of the CBD and the central square area of Peregian.

“I think it very pertinent to point out this application had a massive amount of submissions opposing it,” Cr Wellington said.

Noosa Council will now advise the court of its decision.

Monday’s meeting was closed to the public while Noosa Council considered the matter of the Planning and Environment Court appeal of the Masters Home Improvement Store and Showroom for Noosa Business Centre.

Consistent with the decision made by the Sunshine Coast Council on August 22, 2013, Council resolved to continue to defend the appeal. It also decided no further comment would be made while the matter is still subject to legal proceedings.

Passion the key to business success Home-based businesses vary in shapes, sizes and types across the spectrum but they all have one common ingredient: passion.

Farmer Drew with his hand-woven baskets

Sheep Thrills

Businessman Farmer Drew, an alias that aptly represents Andrew Taylor’s farmers’ market business, has a passion for hand-woven French market baskets.

Farmer Drew discovered the opportunity for his home-based business after frequent trips to the Noosa Farmers’ Market and realising that something was missing.

“I would attend the Market on a regular basis and it came to my attention that while the local community were supporting local farmers, buying home-grown and organic produce etc, they were still using plastic bags,” he said.

“Visit any market place in Europe and you will notice that everyone carries a basket!”

He began to research and came across traditional French market baskets and realised that there could be

an opportunity for a unique homebased business.

“Operating your business from home reaps many benefits. Not only are you your own boss and operating from home is cost-effective, but you are also the only one who can determine how successful your business will be”.

Farmer Drew along with many other local home-based businesses function with little to no employees. Businesses run on the individual’s motivation, dedication and passion. Farmer Drew, for example, is highly motivated and aims to improve his online business by 80 per cent this year and is actively working towards achieving that target.

“It is important to me, as a homebased business, that I give my clients the best possible quality and ser-

vice. In order to keep fresh I focus on innovative ideas, approaches and networking with fellow home-based businesses.”

Farmer Drew is at the Noosa Farmers’ Market, AFL Oval, Weyba Rd, Noosaville, every Sunday, 7am to noon, and online at www.farm-

Glider Lisa shatters the world record

Locally owned and operated

JIM FAGAN Meet Lisa Trotter of Peregian Beach - our new international female gliding champion. She’s just back from New South Wales where she smashed 31 world, continental and national records in an epic glider flight lasting 10 hours.

Her historic achievement has been registered with Federation Aeronautique International (FAI), the world aviation sports federation.

During the flight Lisa, 54, covered 1026.8kms, breaking the World Feminine Distance Record by 10kms. “This was the main one I was going for.

The course is in a triangular shape and you have to pre-declare where you are going.”

Her epic flight took place on December 20 when she left on the first leg from the Riverina town of Tocumwal to Galong in the Southern Slopes region of NSW, flying over Wagga. The second leg of the triangle was from Galong to Tottenham in Central NSW, the route taking her over Young. On the third leg she returned to Tocumwal, gliding above towns like Condobolin and Griffith.

At one point she climbed to 13,500ft (4115 metres) and her

World record holder Lisa Trotter just before setting off on her historic flight average speed was just over 100km an hour.

“My husband, Peter, who is also a glider pilot, crewed on the ground for me and we had planned the records I would try to beat. I set off at 10.37am (9.37am Qld time) and got back just before dark.

“There were other pilots there also competing for records and I was thrilled to see Ingo Renner who has won the World Gliding Championship four times. He’s been a mentor for me.”

The wind has been beneath Lisa’s wings since she was a youngster: “I have flown power planes since I was a teenag-

er. My father was an airline pilot and he took me on a gliding holiday when I was growing up. I’m still hooked.”

Lisa said she had wanted to attempt the triangular distance record for some time. “In the lead up to the attempt, I did a number of practice flights at Tocumwal, flying fast, starting and finishing correctly and checking equipment and the weather.

“I knew I would make it home when I was 60km away.

It took 20 minutes to do that final glide and I was very excited all the way back. When I landed I knew I had done it and I opened the canopy to be greeted by my beaming husband.”

Casino plan unclear JOLENE OGLE It still remains unclear whether the Coast can expect a new casino, despite eight parties having already applied for one of the two regional licences available.

The Newman Government has two regional, integrated casino licences up for grabs with applications closing March 31, 2014 and costing $100,000 each in lodgement fees.

The casino licences are part of a

Queensland Government plan to deliver two new world-class tourism drawcards in regional Queensland centres.

The casinos will not be stand-alone casinos: the successful applicants will need to integrate the new ventures into a resort and demonstrate how the region will benefit from the development.

But, when asked if Palmer Coolum Resort would be applying for one of the licences, a spokesperson for the resort said he didn’t believe Clive Palmer would want to comment at this time.

In October last year, a regional newspaper reported former resort gen-

Surfs up in Noosa

eral manager Bill Schoch as saying a concept being developed by Mr Palmer had a casino as an essential element.

The very next day, ABC News reported that Mr Palmer ruled out the possibility of a casino for the Coolum coast, saying he didn’t plan on applying for one of the licences.

“Given the state of the economy, we need to limit the damage that gambling can do to our society,” Mr Palmer said.

Mr Palmer said he would rather focus on the positive things about Queensland, such as the Great Barrier Reef and other natural wonders.

Photographer Leah Cohen caught these stunning shots in Noosa.

POLICE BEAT JOLENE OGLE

POLICE OUT IN FORCE

Snr Sgt McReight said the vandal was caught shortly after the police arrived and found to have a knife.

The youth was charged with the consumption of alcohol in a public place, possession of a weapon and wilful damage.

In another, unrelated incident, Police spotted a woman allegedly behaving in a drunk and disorderly manner on a Tewantin street. Upon speaking with the woman, officers found a vehicle with numerous broken windows.

Police are still investigating the incident.

Police are reminding locals to celebrate what is good about our lucky country this Australia Day. Noosa Heads police officer in charge Senior Sergeant Steve McReight said the police will be out in force but this is standard procedure.

“We plan for the worst,” Snr Sgt McReight said. “But we always hope for the best.”

Snr Sgt McReight urged party-goers to make sure their “good time has no negative impact on other people”.

“Celebrate what is good about Australia: mateship, charity,” he said. “Look after your mates. We have a lot to be thankful for.”

As well as increased patrols throughout the Noosa Shire, police warn there will be a blitz on traffic offences at North Shore.

DRIVERS NABBED

Twelve drink drivers were nabbed in a combined traffic blitz by the Noosa Heads and Coolum Police.

On Saturday night between 8pm and 4am, the police conducted 1893 random breath tests on drivers travelling along the Sunshine Motorway. Twelve drivers were charged with drink driving, the highest reading being 0.165 per cent.

Noosa Heads officer in charge Senior Sergeant Steve McReight said he was shocked at the number of drink drivers caught on the night.

Fifteen tickets were issued for traffic-related offences, three drivers were found to be unlicensed and one driver was driving on a disqualified licence.

SWIFT RESPONSE PRAISED

Multiple vehicles were damaged on Sunday night, but Noosa Heads’ Senior Sergeant has praised both police and locals for their swift response.

Officer in charge Senior Sergeant Steve McReight said locals spotted a youth vandalising a vehicle in the Bay Village carpark on Sunday night. Police were notified quickly and were able to respond almost immediately.

Devoted bowlers are calling for action following the closure of Locale restaurant, a key source of income for Cooroy Bowls Club.

Members were notified of the closure through an unsigned advice

that cited “sustained financial losses” as the reason for the closure, saying the club would be put up for sale.

Long-time club member Gale Duffield has vocally opposed the closure since he was notified and is now asking members to join the fight to save the club.

Mr Duffield plans to send petitions to each of the three members

of Parliament to call for support of programs that encourage activity and involvement in sport for the aged, “which is exactly what bowls clubs provide”.

Mr Duffield is calling for the “questionable decision to be rescinded” and is urging others to join the fight.

“Don’t be shy,” he said.

Bowlers are allowed to use

the newly renovated greens until a buyer is found and they’re certainly making good use of them with the first game played on Tuesday.

Twenty four players took to the green in the Jackpot Pairs competition and tonight the club will launch the annual High Rollers 10week challenge, set to be booked out.

bit nervous, but I was hooked after Mooloolaba last year,” Klim said.

The Teams Charity Relay will see teams of three compete against celebrities and multisport athletes from around Australia. All proceeds from relay entries will go to the winning team’s charity of choice.

The Noosa Summer Swim will also feature beach activities, in-

cluding a beach volleyball demonstration and a signing session with Speedo athletes.

Dates for all events include Noosa on February 1, Mooloolaba on February 16, Caloundra on March 9 and Coolangatta on March 30.

Aussie legends headed to Noosa Some of the biggest stars in Australian sport are headed for the Sunshine Coast, with the start of Queensland’s largest swim series at Noosa on Saturday, February 1.

The Noosa Summer Swim will launch the 2014 Queensland Ocean Swim Series in the heart of summer and already has a growing list of well-known athletes confirmed to take part.

Among them is former dual-code international, Mat Rogers, and current Ironman 70.3 World Champion, Melissa Hauschildt, as well as Australian Olympic legend, Michael Klim.

“The Queensland Ocean Swim Series events are fantastic and extremely beneficial to my training program, but they’re also really fun and anyone can participate - I even drag my husband along for a swim!” said Hauschildt.

Hauschildt is aiming to com-

2014 Series Ambassador Klim is also confirmed to take part at the Series opener.

Off the charts!

FACT: 2013 WAS AUSTRALIA’S HOTTEST YEAR ISOBEL COLEMAN New statistics released by The Climate Council show that 2013 was the country’s hottest year since records began in 1910.

Not only that, but we also set the record for the hottest summer and warmest spring on record; the hottest January and warmest September on record; and the hottest summer day and warmest winter day on record.

No part of Australia was spared the heat. For all states and the Northern Territory, 2013 ranked within the four hottest years they had experienced.

The Climate Council - an independent, public-funded organisation providing information on climate change – said Australia’s record year was part of a global, longer-term trend.

“Over the past century, the Earth’s climate has warmed and continues to warm. More record hot weather is occurring around the planet,” the report said.

“The increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases caused by human activities are the primary cause of the warming. Stabilising the climate requires urgent and deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, especially those of carbon dioxide that result from burning fossil fuels.”

The records weren’t confined to the temperature over Australia’s land surface, either. Our surrounding seas also experienced an unusually hot year. Records were set for the highest sea surface temperature (SST) in both January and February, and November experienced its second highest average SST on record. For the year through to November (December SST data is not yet available), 2013 is on track to be the third highest for SSTs since 1910, about 0.51°C above the long-term average.

KEY FACTS • 2013 was Australia’s hottest year on record, easily breaking earlier records set in 2005 and 1998.

• The area-averaged mean temperature for the continent for 2013 was 1.20°C above the 1961-1990 average.

• The mean maximum temperature during the year was 1.45°C above average, while the annual mean for minimum temperatures was 0.94°C above average.

• 2013 ranked in the four warmest years on record for all states and the Northern Territory.

• Over the past century, SSTs for the seas surrounding Australia have risen by about 1°C, similar to the increase recorded over land.

Infertile koalas sentenced to death FROM PAGE 1 Ms Beaton said a handful of infertile koalas survived if treatment facilities, such as Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, applied to the Department for a koala to be put on the Species Management Program.

“This means their details are circulated amongst zoos and wildlife sanctuaries in Queensland and they can apply to ‘adopt’ them, their value being deemed to be for educational purposes,” Ms Beaton said.

“Very few koalas are given this opportunity, however, and the great majority of infertile koalas are therefore sadly euthanized – thousands in my time.

“It is difficult to understand the rationale of the Government, particularly when recent research suggests that the prevalence of infertility in female koalas in South East Queensland may be as high as 60 to 70 per cent. It is a frightening statistic.”

Ms Beaton said wildlife carers make a judgement call based on the initial examination.

“If, for example, a female koala presents with advanced reproductive disease through ultrasound examination, rendering her infertile, she will be euthanized – she won’t be kept in care only to be euthanized later.

“If it were permissible under Queensland policy, the alternative in this case would be to perform a hysterectomy – if the koala was otherwise healthy. We - Queensland Koala Crusaders, in particular - feel this is the common sense, humane approach to managing a vulnerable

“Infertility in female koalas in South East Queensland may be as high as 60 to 70 per cent.” species that has a value beyond simply reproducing.

“I think the current policy stems from the idea that infertile koalas, if returned to the wild, would be taking up space and using resources that should be reserved for koalas that are reproductively viable. I think it is a non-argument when koala numbers in SEQ are historically low,

as they are right now.”

A Department of Environment and Heritage Protection spokesperson confirmed that fact.

“A koala is euthanized, rather than returned to the wild, when its ability to reproduce is lost due to an injury, disease or surgical procedure.

This policy, which has been in place since 2006, helps ensure koalas that cannot play a role in recovering or sustaining the overall population do not compete with fertile koalas for habitat, food, or a mate.

“The policy is consistent with the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2006 and Management Program 2006–2016.

“Any changes to the current policy would require amendments to state policy and possibly any associated legislation. EHP is currently investigating whether a change to the current policy is warranted and what this would entail.”

CONSPIRACY THEORY Mr Lobb, your constant angry letters make you sound like a very sad old man who has nothing better to do than grumble. Now your letters are making me grumble about you, which is sad in itself!

I’m sure everybody understands that you are bitterly critical of the NPA, the body of wonderful Noosa residents who can be credited with preserving our lifestyle by giving their time, so stop repeating yourself please. It’s getting very boring.

It’s a shame that your constant conspiracy theories, negativity and attacks on Noosa make you miss out on the satisfaction of doing something positive in our community.

The real conspiracy is that it seems you were happy to endorse Dr Petersen without researching the candidate’s past track record, qualifications or experience in Council affairs, most of which could not be verified with extensive research.

If you did investigate the candidate you would have known that the election would have been a farce had the candidate been successful. Either way you should be ashamed.

No thanks to you, Noosa is now in safe hands and will rocket ahead with the community love it deserves.

Please tell us all why you did endorse Dr Petersen, who has now vanished into thin space without a care

about her claimed love of Noosa and commitment to make it better for everybody. What a surprise!

ROB MIDDENWAY Tewantin CRITICAL THINKERS Radiation is the only way the Earth can release energy to space, this occurs mainly in the upper atmosphere.

However, the surface loses heat by conduction, convection and evaporation. Radiation plays a minor role at the surface.

Physicists have known since the experiments of Prof RW Wood in 1909 that a greenhouse is not heated because it traps IR radiation but because it cannot cool by convection.

The atmosphere is not a greenhouse because it does not stop convection.

Massive amounts of energy are removed from the surface by convection (eg thunder clouds) compared to radiation.

Critical thinkers realise that the IPCC is a political lobby group which claims to be able to predict the risks to the future climate posed by human produced CO2.

Critical thinkers know the IPCC has no real world data to support its belief and has never explained the molecular mechanisms by which radiation from IR active gases supposedly increases the surface temper-

ature of the Earth. Instead the IPCC simply assumes (with no experimental evidence) that human-produced CO2 causes dangerous global warming and programs its computers accordingly. This is not true science. It ignores the fact that the atmosphere is not a greenhouse. This is science by virtual reality and has no relation to past or future climate (the current 17 year pause in global temperature was not predicted). It is ludicrous to believe that the global climate will change because 99.96 per cent of the atmosphere could be driven by the 0.04 per cent occupied by the trace gas CO2.

JOHN TURNER Noosa Heads SUPPORT EDV Now that the dust has settled, and we have our wonderful Council back, it is very disappointing that the process by which the Noosa Shire regained its entity did not include a proper assessment of the boundaries of the shire. The Eumundi, Verrierdale, Doonan region, to a border of the Bruce Highway, because of its geography, and the nature of its industries, has a great deal in more common with Noosa, than it does with the Sunshine Coast Council region. The vast majority of people in both the EDV and Noosa regions would like to see our two regions joined.

Members of the EDV group, including Johanne and Ian Wright, took a lot of responsibility and worked tirelessly for our benefit in the de-amalgamation campaign. Many of us saw de-amalgamation as an ambit claim that would pave the way for the amalgamation of EDV and Noosa.

Now that we have our council back I strongly urge the people of Noosa to support the EDV group in their efforts, as unifying with them will strengthen both districts.

I would like to think that our State Member, Glen Elmes, would also lobby the State Government to this end in supporting the planned future submission to the Minister for EDV-Noosa amalgamation.

The tourism, agriculture, service and manufacturing industries in both areas would all benefit from local council decision-making with regard to their interests.

AT WAR If, as our PM has declared, we are at “war” with people smugglers, why is it that the asylum seekers are the ones who are in jail behind the razor wire fences?

MARGARET WILKIE Peregian Beach

CHECK THE FACTS John Lobb as usual is fixated on Noosa Parks Association, with no knowledge of the facts. He referred in Noosa Today (January 16) that Greg Reddaway is an NPA member. He is not! He also said NPA spent many thousands of dollars running a vicious campaign against Lew Brennan. NPA ran no campaign against Brennan and certainly did not spend any money doing so. I challenge John to submit evidence on his many un-founded allegations against NPA. John Lobb should get out more!

FAITH GODEFROY Honorary Secretary Noosa Parks Association WONDER WHY Though his replacement has strong links to NPA and in particular the mayor, I’m wondering why Greg Reddaway has resigned from the presidency of the Noosa Biosphere Association. In any event, the association’s secretary, Jo Ball thinks your correspondent is doing a good job. As stated, I’m also wondering if NBA still has designs on controlling Noosa Biosphere.

Author’s dream comes true ISOBEL COLEMAN Aspiring writers take note – your dream can come true.

That was the message from former Coast resident Candice Fox, who landed a two-book deal with one of Australia’ s biggest publishers.

The University of the Sunshine Coast Creative Writing graduate is celebrating the release of her first crime fiction novel, Hades.

Candice, pictured, who completed her USC Crea-

tive Writing Honours degree in 2010, last year won the contract with Random House Australia for national and international publication of two books.

Hades is now available at bookstores and Big W. It is described as a dark, compelling and original thriller about two detectives and a serial killer – “the debut of a stunning new talent in crime fiction”.

Candice said the publishing deal was a lifelong ambition that USC helped her achieve. She is now completing the first draft of her sequel, Eden.

Sun bears battle deforestation, exploitation and illegal poaching, causing wild populations to plummet 30 per cent in the past 30 years and earn a “vulnerable” status on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Sarah, and a group of University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) students, will head to Borneo next month to help promote the new Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre in Sepilok, Malyasia.

The centre was the long-time dream of Siew Te Wong, who aims

Australia Day just wouldn’t be complete without some words from renowned local bush poet, Harry Donnelly. This special piece – Harry’s 300th weekly poem for ABC Radio – is all about mateship so even Harry’s mates, Wazza and Paddy, get a mention!

Coast woman helps save sun bears Sunshine Coast tutor Sarah Pye has played a crucial role in protecting Borneo’s dwindling sun bear population.

to rehabilitate and release sun bears back into their native habitat. The centre houses up to 52 bears.

Wong said he could not have fulfilled his dream without the help of

many dedicated people, including those from the Sunshine Coast.

Sarah was visiting Borneo with her family last year when a chance meeting with Wong set off a chain of events which has led to USC partnering with the centre in signage designs, promotional activities and conservation efforts.

Ms Pye and her team are celebrating the centre’s opening, with a free documentary screening of “Big Dream, Little Bears” - which follows Wong’s journey - at Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital on Thursday, January 30, 5.30pm. Spaces are limited and reservations are essential. Email spye@usc.edu.au

(true blue) #300 Two mates sit side by side just before the rest arrive, on Australia Day in January — both filled with Aussie pride.

Ice-clad stubbies click a ‘CHEERS’…to stir a best mate’s heart, the twenty-fourteen Backyard Boofhead Test about to start.

The pitch has been re-mown — Wazza’s primed the strip just right, for the Aussie Day day-nighter…from lunch till loss of sight.

Paddy’s chosen prawns of course of the highest calibre, as Bones applies the grog with ice direct from Toddy’s bar.

And Toddy’s there of course — as tradition states each year, with tongs and onions snags and rumps and a smile from ear to ear.

Dazza’s just strolled in with Johnno Rod and Vince in toe, pub-tab tickets a big screen and all that stuff that punter’s know.

Ben, JD and Neddo have just touched down from Brisbane town, with dad BD still at the helm of his Kingswood of renown.

The backseat boasts a brute of a bloke best backyard bowler seen, a bullocking bristling bustling bloke bearing the barnstorm badge — of ‘Bean’.

The tank-stand serves as commentary box for Crowie and his team, yes…a one-dayer at the ‘WAZZA’…tops the list of yobbo dreams.

The ‘Tsunami Army’ does its thing and invades the wading pool, two Poms a dog from up the road and propensity to play the fool.

The toss is done by Jonesy — lone umpire on the day, he defines the simple backyard rules and the game gets underway.

The anthem stirs emotion through the words of ‘Hey True Blue’, Bean bounces Wazza’s dreadlocks with advice of what to do.

Jonesy…hand on heart recites The Man from Snowy River, as the boys within the Pub-tab pray the ghostly grey delivers.

Young Damo sheds his clothing for the obligatory streak, but a square-cut from the batsman ensures he won’t sit down this week.

Zinc cream’s flying everywhere, skin drops from hips and knees, the cricket’s quite frenetic — confrontational if you please.

Aussie versus Aussie on this most traditional day, where words are just as lethal as any action on display.

Well…the constant classic sledging carries on into the night, butcher Tom’s beef burgers prove an Aussie Day delight.

With arguments and incidents — Paddy hits the winning run, and another dinkum Aussie Backyard Boofhead Test…is done.

16 NEWS LETTERS STARTING ON PAGE 13 DO YOU GET IT? There seems to be more than a few letter writers in the area with strong anti-climate change beliefs. Wanting to see if I could agree with their arguments I started asking questions, my main one being, what does the real scientific world think about the ‘warming of the world’?

You understand how the science community works, don’t you? An expert in one field or another writes an article outlining his/her theory. This gets published in a prestigious publication and other sciences begin to tear it apart, or prove it right. It’s called peer-reviewed consensus.

From a friend in the US on my question:

In 2012, a member of the National Science Board reviewed literature published about climate change and found out of 13,950 articles, 13,926 supported the reality of global warming.

Apparently, despite the arguments made by deniers, few have come up with a coherent argument against consensus.

One more from my American friend: Of 2,258 peer-reviewed articles, from 9,136 authors, published between November 2012 and December 2013, only one author explicitly rejected human-driven global warming.

My point? The basic science of global warming is available and has been accepted by a near-totality of peer-reviewed scientific research. My second question: who are you going to listen to and believe - the scientific community or a handful of voracious letter writers?

What I’m really about is to get people to understand the reality of it all and then to get them to elect politicians who do as well. Do you think our present leaders in Canberra do?

BILL SHEEHY Noosaville NOT WANTED In reference to the EDV Residents Group’s push to join with Noosa Council, as a longterm Noosa resident I say we don’t want you.

EDV has always rejected any form of sensible/balanced economic activity and has hurt jobs for the region. We need new businesses and EDV are basically wealthy retirees who are doing very well, thank you very much, and have no thought for those who need jobs to make ends meet.

We in Noosa would be worse off with your negative attitudes. We are a new region and need vibrant thinkers, not wowsers. The EDV region seems to have prospered under Maroochy Council and SCRC so why the need to change? If EDV gets nothing from SCRC, then surely your argument about EDV costing SCRC is disingenuous?

Based on your simplistic argument about geographical proximity, Cooran should be part of Gympie Council and Coffs Harbour should be in Queensland.

I say to EDV residents, Don’t Worry, Be Happy!

EDWARD MUIR Sunshine Beach CLIMATE EXTREMES It’s indeed time to consider what’s happening with our climate (NT, January 16). The sea ice that trapped Fred Bromhall’s ‘Ship of Fools’ is the result of the melting of the main Antarctic ice cap. Fact. And the freezing cold that’s being experienced in Northern America is possibly part of the pattern of extremes that climate scientists have warned us to expect.

PAUL FOSTER Noosaville GREAT SCOTT! Apart from maybe being offered the job as handicapper for our next Sydney to Hobart yacht race, Scott Morrison could be asked to become Commodore of Rhode Island Yacht Club to assure them a winning edge in the next Americas Cup races. Instead of boats for the asylum seekers we should be purchasing GPSs - at least they can tell you if you missed a right turn in London.

Also in future any navigational aid that gives you the wrong coordinates will be known as a “Scotty”.

E WRIGHT Sunrise Beach IT’S A CRIME As the wet season approaches, we expect, from time to time, to be warned by signs and radio broadcasts about water over roads. We appreciate the warning sign that responsible authorities have installed. There are probably a few who would think “I can’t stand the government interfering in my life by putting up these warning signs. I’m going to pull them down”. It would be a crime for someone to pull these signs down because it would endanger lives.

As we would consider it a crime to pull down highway warning signs, we must also consider it a crime to try and pull down the very clear signs that our planet is headed for serious climate change if we do not start to rein in the amount of CO2 we are adding to the atmosphere every day. Yet the vocal vandals that flood this paper with pseudo arguments alleging that the warning signs are wrong are willing to put the lives of many citizens into serious danger.

While it may be fun to debate the social sciences, literature, or the arts, the natural laws of our universe are not contestable. One cannot argue that the laws of gravity, thermodynamics, electromagnetic radiation or behaviour of molecules as they are heated are wrong.

Yet this paper encourages ignorant, if not delinquent, letters challenging the natural laws, those that have been described over the past 300 years by science. It’s as if there was a debate about whether the science is right or not. There is no debate.

To the enormous embarrassment of our entire science-literate community, our national leader, his top business advisor and some ministers are actively ignoring the warning signs of climate change. They have even fired the crew that was responsible for putting up the signs, saying there was no need to worry about an invisible, tasteless gas. Their ignorance is profound and is much more a reflection of Australia’s failed science education than anything Christopher Pyne may have suggested.

THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE NOOSA GREAT

Phil, Duke and the birth of Aussie surfing JIM FAGAN Journalist, author and top surf historian Phil Jarratt has come a long way since he was a Daily Telegraph copy boy in the late 60s, living for his weekends and the chance to crack waves on Sydney beaches.

Duke Kahanamoku in 1913. PHOTO: LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

Phil is 62 now but his love of the surf hasn’t diminished. Indeed, when he spoke with Noosa Today about his new book “That Summer at Boomerang” - the story of Hawaiian board rider Duke Kahanamoku, the father of modern surfing - he had just spent two hours on the waves and intended going home to get on with planning Noosa’s Festival of Surf in March.

Surfing and writing about it has dominated most of his life. While still at school, he was writing for US and Australian surfing magazines. “I was a published writer and I thought I was pretty smart so there was only one career trajectory for me to take – to become a journo.”

In the early 70s he worked for the Sydney Morning Herald in the Canberra Press Gallery (“a fantastic thing to happen at such a young age”) and did the Aussie journalists’ pilgrimage of the time to London and Fleet Street.

“I worked as a casual features writer on the Daily Mail and magazines to subsidise my travel. I followed the surf up and down the coasts of Spain, France, Portugal and most of England.”

Two years later he was back in Australia, working full-time with surf publications, becoming editor of the big circulation youth magazine Tracks, then stints with Channel 9, Playboy, Penthouse and in a turnaround culture change, The Bulletin.

It was working for The Bulletin which brought Phil and his family to Noosa in 1990. “The editor was looking for a Queensland correspondent and I put my hand up. I had known about Noosa before so it wasn’t hard to decide to come here instead of working from Brisbane. In 1996 I helped start a local magazine, Noosa Blue. It had a very successful run for a few years, tapping into every level of Noosa society, the environment, restaurant reviews.”

Five years in France with the family followed to work for international surf company, Quiksilver and then back to Noosa in 2008 where he now writes a weekly column for this newspaper. With his daughter,

That Summer at Boomerang” author, Phil Jarratt. PHOTO: ROBBI NEWMAN Sam Smith, he also runs the Noosa Festival of Surfing - considered the biggest surfing event of its kind in the world.

“It has developed a huge reputation as a showcase for Noosa’s natural attributes and, as such, we’ve attracted really good support from tourism authorities and by Government which is great,” he said.

Phil “always has a book on the boil.” He has written 35 in all, including biographies on Evonne Goolagong Cawley and CleanUp Australia creator, Ian Kiernan. It’s for his surfing non-fiction, however, about legends like eight times world champion, Kelly Slater, and Jeff Hakman, as well his complete history of Australian surfing, Surfing Australia, that has earned him the reputation of Australia’s leading surf historian.

Phil says it was the research on these projects that led him to the story of Duke Kahanamoku and his ground-breaking tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1914-15 which he considers was really the start of beach culture in this country, changing forever perceptions of surfing and swimming.

“The term I use in the book is that it was ‘the birth of fun.’” With Federation there was a whole new feeling of what was possible. In 1902, daylight saving was legalised which opened the way for people to actually use the beach as God intended it, which is to go surfing. The surf lifesaving movement started a couple of years later and, suddenly, the beach was a playground and you could get there by automobile. All those things were in play.

“And you have the backdrop of the Great

War which was just beginning. People the Duke was associated with in that summer of 1914-15 included Cecil Healy the guy he beat for the gold medal at the Stockholm Olympics in 1912. He wouldn’t have come here if he hadn’t been mates with Healy.

“Duke failed to show up for his 100 metres semi-final and Healy said he wouldn’t swim in the final unless the world’s fastest swimmer was given the opportunity to qualify so they ran a special qualifier and Duke got through, of course. He won the gold medal and Cecil missed out. Cecil invited Duke to come to Australia to demonstrate his swimming and surfing skills.”

Healy was killed in the Battle of the Somme in 1918 and says Phil, “This is the backdrop of the book. Australians had discovered leisure and now they had to go and die in Europe.”

He also explores the relationship between 15-year-old Manly schoolgirl, Isabel Letham, another iconic figure in the world of surfing, and the Duke. “While nothing happened between them that we know of, I don’t think there is any doubt that meeting him changed the course of her life. Before the war was over she was on her way to America looking for him. She did meet up with him in the 20s when he was a B grade Hollywood film star. He didn’t get married until he was 50 and she never married.”

Meet Phil Jarratt tonight at 6pm at Annie’s Books on Peregian and enjoy a free wine, cheese & author talk on the footpath at 8 Kingfisher Drive, Peregian Beach.

Top line-up at Harbourside Councillor supports Visiting Harbourside Gallery in Tewantin is a must for February, with a great line-up of talented artists exhibiting their work until the end of the month.

CRIS MUGGERIDGE BIRDS IN OUR BACKYARD Cris Muggeridge is a photographer with a talent for capturing images of birds that are just simply beautiful.

“Photography for me is very therapeutic, all I have to do is be at the right place at the right time, nature does the rest, lighting, colours, movement, it is these components that when mixed in the right proportions create the opportunity and the excitement of capturing something special,” he said.

This collection of bird images is a small part of a larger collection of nature and landscape images that Cris has collected around Noosa.

CHERRYL CHAMBERS-WILLIAMS - NOSTALGIA Nostalgia is an exhibition inspired by milk jugs of yesteryear!

Included in the exhibition is a collection of unique and individual ceramic milk jugs. Cherryl focuses on nostalgic memories that are of crucial interest both to us and her.

“The milk jugs are a means to recall past memories and experi-

ences by using familiar objects.

These jugs evolve from a nostalgic memory of my grandmother, great aunts and their almost ritualistic process of creating a high tea for visitors,” she said.

The milk jugs feature wild flowers and leaves incorporating the authentic palette of the Australian bush. Cherryl uses leaves as handles and wraps the leaves of the Box Gum tree, around the jugs creating truly unique pieces of art.

TWO OLD MEN DREAMING Two Old Men Dreaming is an exhibition by Phil Yubbagurri Brown (Kabi Kabi/ Taribelang) and Johnny Daylight-Lacey (Barungamm/WakkaWakka), who have combined artistry and storytelling to present a colourful history told in the making and playing of didgeridoos and the wonderful symbolic paintings that depict the ancient tribal dreaming stories.

Johnny started painting under the guidance of Joseph Baird-Wallis in Darwin with his younger brother, Peter, also an accomplished didge player. He is a player, maker and carver of this traditional instrument as well as being an accomplished artist. He has exhibited with other mentors and with artists Clifford Possum, Eunice Nappangarti and Doctor George Ward in a group exhibition in Canberra in 2000.

Work by Johnny Daylight-Lacey the traditional storyteller at the National Museum of Australia for seven years. He also plays the ‘didge’ and the exhibition has been created by these artists who acknowledge and respect this sacred music instrument from Northern Australia.

This will be the first exhibition in a series of didge art exhibitions which will be held throughout South East Queensland and it will include a hands-on art demonstration by the famous Johnny Didge. Traditional stories will be told by Phil Yubbagurri Brown, who will give a cultural interpretation of music and dance.

“The didgeridoo is a cultural icon for all Australians to enjoy, and it is with a sense of pride that we offer this exhibition to the Noosa region,” he said.

Cris Muggeridge sa Marina is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm, and Sunday and Monday, 9am to 3pm. Phone 5447 5007 or 0411 244 304 or visit www.harboursidegallerynoosa.com.

The exhibition features works by 20 local retirees who attend the Introductory Watercolour Group and the Intermediate Drawing & Painting Group at Noosa U3A , proving that creative energy lies within everyone and just needs a guiding hand from trained tutors to produce amazing works. Most of the works are for sale.

The event is open to the public between from 3pm to 5pm for drinks and nibbles, with a gold coin entry. The lucky door prize will be a framed, signed print by professional botanical artist, James Black.

A third tutored art class is being added this year, with a seven-week Introductory Drawing course starting in February. If interested, come along to the exhibition and meet tutors and students or book by phoning 5440 5500, or calling into Noosa U3A, Monday to Friday, 9am to 2pm.

Why destroy what you came to enjoy?

LIFE OF BRINE PHIL JARRATT

I’d like to think that Campbell Newman will be as good as his word about keeping in check the re-emergence of the white shoe brigade on the Gold Coast, but I can’t help wonder if saving Kirra from a cruise ship terminal and a hideous destruction of what remains of a once-glorious meta-curve beach, means giving the green light to the equally hideous casino proposal for the Broadwater.

It does have the little general’s MO stamped all over it. Give with the right, take with the left.

Save this, screw that. You can’t stop progress, after all, as Joh used to say. But the citizen’s lobby on the Goldie is getting so strong that it is going to be increasingly difficult for politicians to push their Chinese-funded loony toon development schemes through without appropriate checks and balances.

It’s not just the surfers involved in the beach protection campaign, but it’s great to see local world champions Mick Fanning and Joel Parkinson leading from the front. Gold Coast Mayor and develop-at-all costs advocate Tom Tait has said that no-one cares what Mick Fanning thinks, which is just another thing that Tait is wrong about. He’ll be found out soon enough, and who knows, maybe Mick will one day be mayor. I hope not. He deserves much better.

I was on the Gold Coast last weekend when all this was going down and had an early surf at Currumbin Alley with old mate Rod Brooks,

Guethary by Wilma Johnson Islam, if we can take the time to understand its nuances.

I don’t hang around school yards these days – I think there’s a law against it – but I see that jingoism is still alive and unwell on social media, and someone emails me a pointless racist joke every frickin’ day. We’re so much better than that. Let’s celebrate Australia Day by embracing the multiculturalism in our society that has enriched our lives in so many ways.

Guethary by Bob Simpson multiple Victorian champion and Bells Beach big wave pioneer. We jumped in at the keyhole and paddled into the biggest crowd I’ve seen at one take-off spot, and I’ve seen some clusters here and there. Brooko and I shared a few waves and shepherded each other, but the session reminded me of why I chose to live on this coast and not that one, almost quarter of a century ago.

Crowds here are intense in holiday time, no question about it, but you can deal with it.

Down there I don’t think I’d bother. Over and above the surfing experience, I’d rather be sitting out in the water looking in at parklands and

low-key development than a Manhattan skyline in the smoky distance. And for that I’m ever grateful for Dr Arthur Harrold and the visionaries who followed him at the Noosa Parks Association. I don’t agree with every position they take, but without the NPA, we’d just be another Gold Coast. We should never forget that.

WHAT ARE YOUSE DOING ON STRILIA DYE? Drinking beer, eating meat pies and playing backyard cricket, I hope. That’s what I’ll be doing after a serious Coral Sea low pressure system surf on the points (we hope). But wouldn’t it be good if we could distinguish patriotism from jingoism, and embrace the former while rejecting the latter.

When I was a kid growing up around the corner from a Quonset hut migrant hostel full of post-WW2 European escapees from Hitler’s hell, we true blues would gang up on all the kids at school with funny names and tell them they stank of garlic, the wonder of which we’d never tasted in our white bread, insular, isolated, pathetic lives. The Europeans taught us how to live well, just as a generation later the Vietnamese taught us how to study and never give up.

Now we have much to learn from the world of

GLORIOUS GUETHARY There’s a village on the Pays Basque coast of France that once experienced is never forgotten.

Its name is Guethary, and we had the great good fortune to live in an apartment above the bar tabac, below renegade surf legend Miki Dora, opposite the fronton, overlooking the left-hand break of les Halcyons, for five glorious years.

Having just had a friend from neighbouring Biarritz staying with us, Guethary was already on my mind when some other friends posted photos of the village I’d never seen before.

The black and white is from Bob Simpson, long-term American expat who was Miki Dora’s lawyer and whose apartment’s bay window looks out invitingly on the superb wave of Parlamentia. The other shot is from artist Wilma Johnson, whose illustrated book Surf Mama looks like being made into a movie. Not Julia Roberts, please. I see Juliette Binoche being perfect for Wilma. Love this place and these crazy people.

DUKE AT ANNIES Not exactly, but I’ll be channelling Duke Kahanamoku in video and conversation tonight at Annie’s Books on Peregian from 6pm, with free drinks, nibbles, live music from Jim Stephens (ex Nutwood Rug, Seeds, Yanks) and me on my best behaviour, more or less. It will be fun on the pavement, hope you can come.

Eliminate unwanted hair for good Annoying facial hair that sprouts like a weed and grows quickly due to age, hormonal changes or other factors can be very embarrassing, yet temporary methods of removal like tweezing or shaving will only encourage and stimulate more hair growth.

Electrolysis is believed to be the only proven permanent method for hair removal, and also the only solution for eliminating course or fine blonde, white or red hairs.

IPL and laser target the pigment in the hair and therefore cannot destroy these hairs like electrolysis can, said Dermal Therapist Willeke Kraaijmaat.

“Electrolysis is safe on anyone despite their skin or hair colour because it attacks and de-

hair root which causes localised damage to the areas that generate hairs. Thanks to its destructive success, electrolysis is the only method that can claim to remove hair permanently by FDA regulations and is approved by the medical profession.”

So if you’re one hair away from an embarrassing situation, you may want to consider electrolysis.

Creating strength, flexibility & harmony

The Christmas decorations are packed away and the last of the turkey and ham has finally been eaten. There is still that box of chocolates in the fridge but you’re trying to ignore it as your favourite jeans have started to feel tight.

Sound familiar? It’s too easy to eat and drink during the festive season, telling yourself you will make up for it in the New Year!

If you want to lose weight and feel fantastic, fast, naturopath Deb Roberson said the new HcGDiet could be the answer.

“Backed by research, trialed

body, and unhealthy stored fat, the fat bank,” Deb said.

“This type of fat has the potential to be a reserve for fuel, but is not available to the body to be used.

Metabolic reasons, toxins or added hormones in our foods have disrupted the normal process of burning this fat for energy. This is the layer that stays on the body and is hard to shift.

“There are three easy-to-follow steps to help unlock the stored fats. Along with HcG capsules an eating plan of certain foods is followed and the bonus is that HcG suppresses your appetite as the fat stores melt away.”

Thousands of flamingos can be seen feeding in the soda lakes

Disability survey for travellers ParaQuad NSW has launched a national survey to improve holiday/travel accommodation in Australia, for those with a disability.

It has been said that if you can only spend one day in Africa in your life you should spend it at Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater. An ancient volcanic caldera, this little Eden is named for the sound of the Maasai tribesmen’s cattle bells and is one of my favourite game viewing locations on the African continent.

Ngorongoro Crater is located about 180km west of the northern The views within this UNESCO city of Arusha.

Game drives are, of course, taken 2000 feet (610m) below on the crater floor, almost 6000 feet (1800m) above sea level.

Usually they are a full day with a packed lunch. Vehicles are restricted to six hours per day in the crater to limit the impact on the environment.

Within the crater itself there are numerous ecosystems including forests and savannah. There are also soda lakes in which one can usually see flamingos. While up on the crater rim there is spectacular montane forest.

Let Africa Steal Your Heart My name is Peter Emery, I am the African Travel Specialist at Ucango Travel.

I have more than 20 years experience in the travel industry and am based here in the Noosa Shire at Cooroy. I offer a personalised booking service. There is no need to travel to our Maroochydore office.

Simply make an appointment and I will meet you at home or at your favourite cafe to discuss your travel plans and to share my passion for Africa with you.

They say sharing experiences will help guide future government strategy on accessible accommodation.

If you are a person with disability you are asked to take part in the survey to share your experiences and help provide information on the level of demand for accessible holiday/travel accommodation and some related matters. There is limited information on this presently.

Your participation in this survey will contribute to a snapshot of the needs of people with disability when staying in commercial accommodation in Australia and give information to the tourism industry on good service.

This information will feed into a study being undertaken by Price Waterhouse Coopers for the Australian Government about the economic impact of accessibility requirements and support policy work in relation to the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards.

The Standards are due to be reviewed in 2015.

The whole survey can be completed in around 10 minutes. Questions that aren’t relevant can be skipped.

The survey is completed online at www.pwc.com.au/ surveys/travellers-with-a-disability For help completing the survey, or if you have questions about it, contact pwc.economics@au.pwc.com or phone 02 6271 3052.

Risk of Crohn’s reduced with regular exercise Researchers have come one step closer to understanding the relationship between Crohn’s Disease and physical activity, with a study released in the US recently indicating the risk of developing Crohn’s Disease lowers with increased exercise levels.

Approximately 75,000 Australians are currently affected by Crohn’s Disease and/or Ulcerative Colitis which are both non-contagious inflammatory bowel diseases, the causes of which still remain unknown.

Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) Executive Officer Anita Hobson-Powell said incidence rates for these diseases in Australia were among the highest reported around the world, and the recent findings highlighted a need for Australians to incorporate regular physical activity into their daily routine.

“The research results indicated study participants that engaged in more than nine hours of walking at an average pace each week (or other equivalent physical activity) had a 44 per cent lower risk of developing Crohn’s Disease when compared to their inactive counterparts,” Ms Hobson-Powell said.

“Considering 66.9 per cent of Aus23 JANUARY 2014

tralians aged 15 and over were considered sedentary or recorded low levels of exercise in 2011-12, it’s crucial that we take steps to get Australians in the habit of exercising regularly.”

Ms Hobson-Powell said while people of all ages were susceptible to Crohn’s Disease, its onset was most common in people aged between 15 and 30.

the connection between exercise and the onset of Crohn’s Disease.

“As physical exercise has so many other health benefits such as reducing stress, anxiety and depression which are all risks for people with inflammatory bowel diseases, promoting exercise can only be positive,” Ms Manglaviti said.

Ms Manglaviti said the young onset age associated with Crohn’s Disease often caused disruption to education and employment, and this posed a number of negative ramifications for both sufferers and the broader community.

“Crohn’s Disease brings significant costs to the Australian economy each year through productivity losses, absenteeism, premature death and losses in earnings and taxation revenue,” Ms Manglaviti said.

“In 2005 alone, total financial costs were estimated at $239 million dollars.”

Crohn’s Disease is a chronic condition that affects the digestive tract and causes abdominal pain, diarrhoea and a broad range of other symptoms such as fever and weight loss.

“Crohn’s Disease brings significant costs to the Australian economy each year.”

“As a nation, we not only need to increase existing physical activity levels, but also instil a love of exercise in future generations,” Ms Hobson-Powell said.

“If regular physical activity is introduced to children at a young age, they are more likely to carry these positive habits into adulthood and lead healthier lives.”

Chief Executive Officer of Crohn’s & Colitis Australia (CCA, Francesca Manglaviti said that while more studies were required in this area, it was encouraging to see research that explored

It’s a new year so why not start it off with good beauty intentions? Sharon Cassidy from Riverside Beauty shares some beauty tips that will leave your skin feeling and looking great!

A new year is a perfect time to clean out the bathroom cupboard and take stock of what products you are using. If you have a mixture of products that you have been using for some time, chances are it’s time for a change and to start fresh – your skin will love it!

• When it comes to keeping your skin healthy, protecting it from harsh weather elements is always important. Make a commitment to yourself to wear a broad sunscreen every day.

With daily use, Actinica Liposomal Sunscreen can aid in the prevention of sun spots, premature skin ageing and may assist in preventing some skin cancers.

It’s time to forget everything you thought you knew about foundation. Long gone are the days of cakey, suffocating formulas. We’re now seeing the market infiltrated with foundations, tinted moisturiser, BB creams and CC creams that all achieve that flawless, natural base allowing people to have more control over how their skin looks and feels.

Experts believe that foundation is the one beauty product you can rely on and a must in any beauty routine, but now people are looking for a base that comes with more benefits than an average foundation. This is contributing to the rise in popularity of CC cream. In fact, according to The NPD Group, this hybrid skincare segment grew to U$46.6 million in 2011 – up from $28 million in 2007.

With alphabet formulas hitting shelves with gusto, the difference

between BB and CC is often misconstrued.

A BB cream is a Blemish Balm or Beauty Balm, essentially a tinted moisturiser with loads of skin-benefiting ingredients and SPF. A CC cream is considered a Colour Corrector. It is packed with vitamins C and E and is similar to BB Cream, but focuses on colour correction. It also has SPF. If redness, pigmentation or broken capillaries are a problem for your skin, CC cream will be the answer.

Grilled Veggie Skewers MAKES 6 INGREDIENTS Big handful of mushrooms 1 red or white onion 1 red capsicum 1 green capsicum 1 zucchini Cherry tomatoes CHILLI LIME OIL: 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1 tsp honey 1 tsp cumin, chilli powder or smoked paprika, or a combo of any Salt & pepper

FOOD TODAY 33

METHOD: If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before you start grilling so they don’t burn. Whisk together the ingredients for the chilli lime oil and set aside. Preheat your grill (or grill pan). Chop veggies so that they are uniform in size and thread them onto the skewers. Sprinkle them with some salt and liberally brush the veggies with the chilli-lime oil. Grill for a few minutes on each side, until the mushrooms are cooked through and a nice char has formed on the edges of the veggies. (About 10-12 minutes total, depending on the size of your veggies and the heat of your grill). Remove from heat and brush them with the remainder of the oil.

Serve with warm tortillas, tomato salsa, cheese and/or avocado slices.

TORQUE 35

Enjoy a classic Australia Day Fluff and buff for Optima MAX PARNELL Noosa Bonneville Riders group staged their second ride last Saturday with more than a 100 per cent increase in participant numbers, compared to the inaugural ride late last year.

Riding nine Triumph Bonnevilles of varying specification and year model, the 11 enthusiasts made an early start while the air was still cool, donned helmets and opened the throttle to begin the 180km preplanned tour.

A quick photo shoot on Gympie Terrace was suggested before the

group continued the ride using quiet back roads via Pomona for a brief stopover in Gympie. The return was also on some relatively unused roads, which added to the pleasure of the ride.

The organisers are planning a social ride each month and the next is scheduled for Saturday, February 8. Contact noosabonneville@optusnet.com.au if you would like to join the next ride.

Noosa Beach Classic Car Club will kick off the year with a visit to the Apollonian Hotel for Australia Day. Traditionally the club begins the year’s activities with this event and the sight of many classic cars on the lawn in front of this historic hotel attracts many onlookers.

The Apollonian Hotel was built at Apollonian Way in Gympie by well-known English comedian and vocalist Robert (Billy) Barlow and was initially known as “Barlow’s Apollonian Philharmonic Music Hall Hotel”. It was opened on September 18, 1868, the year after gold was discovered in Gympie. In 1879, due to fire, the present Hotel was built. It was moved to Boreen Point in 1987.

If you are interested in classic cars, or would like to find out more about the activities of Noosa Beach Classic Car Club, you are welcome to attend. Why not stay for a quiet beer and the famous spit lunch?

Lighting up the European-inspired design are a striking pod of four front LED fog lights, newly integrated LED daytime running lights and HID (Xenon) headlights with static corning light.

Completing the external changes are a new design 18-inch machine finish alloy wheel around which is wrapped 225/45 R18 rubber.

The improvements continue within the cabin, with heated and ventilated seats for both driver and passenger, eight-speaker sound system, full-colour 7-inch display screen with satellite navigation and reversing camera while parking sensors front and rear are now standard across the range.

With the addition of front parking sensors the Optima Si is now $30,990 (+$300) while the Optima SLi rises $1000 to $35,990 for the addition of front parking sensors and leather trim.

The range-topping Platinum is now $40,490 (+$1200) for the addition of front parking sensors, a high-end TFT information screen, Blind Spot Detection and Lane Change Assist as well as a ventilated seat for the front passenger.

Kia turned the automotive world on its head when the Peter Schreyer-penned Optima mid-size sedan was unveiled for Australia during the 2011 Australia Open.

The first iteration of the stylish coupelike sedan garnered universal praise for its looks, value and determination to bring style to the mass market.

With the arrival of the new Platinum and SLi models to join the Si trim, the 2014 Optima range is complete with focused styling tweaks and new generation active safety technology to assist drivers avoid an accident before it happens.

Refining the Optima’s sculpted, high-end appearance, Kia’s Frankfurt-based design team improved the vehicle’s front and rear fascia and the brand’s signature tabbed grille. The vehicle’s bold stance and aerodynamic shape are further accentuated by updat-

The Locals Only marquee will feature product displays from six Noosa-based surf companies.

Quiver Kaddy: On a family surfing holiday in Noosa in 2000, Mark Hatfull was walking back from Tea Tree Bay after a long surf session with his young kids, who refused to carry their boards back because they were tired. Seven-year-old Jayden said his dad should invent something to carry all their boards. Mark Hatfull did just that, and today his Noosa-based Quiver Kaddy is being used around the world.

Noosa Longboards: Has been carving out an existence on Hastings Street since 1994. Famous for surfboards, with uncompromised craftsmanship coming from master shapers Tom Wegener and Dave Boyd, creating “vehicles of mass perfection�,

grace and glide being the key. Noosa Longboards also hand picks a selection of other brands to complete the line up. Vintage Pacific wooden toothpicks from the past, Firewire sticks from the future. The shop also carries many goodies of surf and popular culture, from Miki Dora to Muddy Waters, from vintage Aloha shirts to low brow art and lava lamps. Not to mention cool surfwear.

Adventure Sports (Australian Kite Surfing): Established in 1999 as one of the first kite schools and shops in Australia, Adventure Sports is Noosa’s centre of kite surfing and other extreme water sports, offering private or small group kite surfing lessons as well as top brands like North, Naish, Liquid Force, Starboard and Wavejet.

As the name implies, Local Knowledge prides itself in being able to offer locals and visitors the best equipment available, and the best advice about where to use it.

Pirate ship sets sail for 2014 NATHAN MCLEAN The 2014 pieces of the puzzle are all falling into place for Noosa Pirates. The club is proud to announce club great Gus Stewart as the new reserve grade captain coach.

“My idea of reserve grade is that it is a stepping stone for the younger guys to come through and an opportunity for older guys like me to keep playing,” Gus said. “In my time at the club, every year our reserve grade has been successful, so has first grade.

It would be great to see some old faces and some not so old faces

that have left over the last few years coming back to the mighty Pirates and return us to the glory days.” Gus is a well-known identity around Pirate Park and will be a valuable asset to our 2014 coaching team.

In other exciting news the club has recruited two young lads from England this year. George Knowles and Joel James, both 18, have headed to Australia to take up the challenging roles with Noosa Pirates RLFC for the forthcoming rugby league season. Both players have been opponents for years in numerous County Cup finals between Cheltenham and Matson but, in 2011, both were introduced to rugby league and have for the past two seasons played for the

University of Gloucestershire All Golds in their developing academy teams. Both players have gone on to represent the South West Schools and Colleges rugby league squad and were then both selected to represent England.

“We are both really excited to be given the chance to improve our rugby league in Australia, being one of the toughest sporting environments in the world,” George said.

Lionel Hurst, All Golds Club President, added: “Both George and Joel are tremendous and talented young men. I am sure they will represent the club and sport with distinction.”

There’s a real buzz around Pirate Park at the moment with

great turnouts to the first few weeks of training. The boys are really enjoying the fitness sessions U18s and head trainer Dean Mcmasters has been putting them through. A-grade coach Liam Anlezark is looking for the boys to be in tip top condition come round 1, commencing on March 1. The boys will be heading up to Hervey Bay for a trial/social trip on February 15. Training is Tuesdays and Thursdays at Pirate Park from 6pm.

For all Pirates players, partners, members and the local community, there will be a sign-on/ season launch on February 1, 1pm to 5pm. This day is for everyone to come together for a social gathering to kick off the 2014 season.

Full steam ahead for Tackers ON THE WATER WITH NOOSA YACHT & ROWING CLUB

Since Noosa Yacht & Rowing Club was asked to be the first Club in Queensland to roll out the new Yachting Australia National introduction sailing program for six to 12 year

olds in September 2012, it’s been non-stop on Noosa River.

More than 600 kids have enjoyed the program with many going on to the after-school Funsail program. Some have even bought their own Sabot dinghy and joined the Team Noosa Racing Squad.

Tackers is a fun-based, kid-centric introduction to sailing program using the purpose designed OziOpti Tackers dinghy.

The program was designed to provide a fun, confidence build-

ing sailing experience. In particular, the program will seek to build self-esteem, develop motor skills, enhance resilience, value teamwork and learn about the environment.

NYRC Sailing Manager Paul Blundell said: “The Tackers program has been a fantastic addition to the programs that Youthsail has offered over the years. Tackers is all about the younger kids sailing with other children around their own age and size and the group of Tackers instructors, lead by Tackers Coordinator James Hard-

castle, have put a great deal of effort into making the program an unforgettable experience for the kids.”

Tackers is delivered in three levels: Tackers 1 – Having Fun, Tackers 2 – Skills and Techniques, and Tackers 3 – Sailing Fast! With limited places it’s wise to book early as each course is currently filling up. The next round starts on February 9.

Tackers 1 & 2 will also be held during the April school holidays.

All details and bookings via www.nyrc.com.au

Perfect for the young, and the young at heart

It’s all about the fun The Noosa Yacht & Rowing Club Social Golf year commences this Saturday, January 25, at Noosa Par 3 Golf Course.

NYRC social golf is a social competition for all levels of players, from beginners to experienced golfers. It provides an opportunity for players to develop their golfing skills in a social, fun atmosphere where just playing the game is more important than winning.

The club is open to all ages from young teens to the still young at heart. So if you are just a beginner, or returning to the game after a layoff, this is an excellent place to start. If you are short of time and don’t have all day to enjoy your game of golf this competition provides the best of both worlds. The competition day is followed by a barbecue and prize awards.

Just turn up to Noosa Par 3 this Saturday for tee-off at 11.45am. Registration begins at 11.30am. Remember to bring a friend and make the day even more enjoyable. For further details phone Club Captain Roy Crombie on 0429 319 747 or Paula Jeffrey on 0418 985 082.

Big weekend for surf lifesaving

Cougars make finals

BETWEEN THE FLAGS

NATHAN MCLEAN

RON LANE

Cooroy-Eumundi cricketers enjoyed a busy weekend, with A Grade off to a flying start on Day 1.

Weekend patrol reports from Sunshine Beach and Peregian indicate no major incidents. At Noosa, patrol personal were called to a suspected spinal injury, as well as a fin cut injured shoulder and other first aid cases. On Saturday afternoon, Noosa again sent a volunteer patrol to help out at Peregian.

A blistering innings of 64 from club stalwart, Phil Anderson, powered the Cougars to a respectable total of 226 on the first day of their Round 11 clash at Landsborough. After winning the toss and electing to field, Landsborough picked up wickets regularly throughout the day to reduce Cooroy-Eumundi to a perilous 9-141. Anderson, returning from an injury suffered earlier in the season, combined with gutsy No 11 Jordan McDermott (18 not out) in a last wicket stand of 85 which gave the Cougar bowlers something to work with.

At stumps Landsborough were 1-8 with Matt Campbell claiming one of the openers lbw for a duck.

Anderson’s dynamic knock came off only 60 balls and featured 8 fours and 2 towering sixes and took the game away from Landsborough who, up until then, had held the Cougar batting line up in check with only captain Mick Carman (22) and all-rounder Haydn Slater (23) passing 20. The match resumes next Saturday with the Cougars looking for early wickets to put pressure on the home side’s batsmen.

Cougars B Grade played Palmwoods at the Sel Bonnel oval and elected to bat upon winning the toss. Losing early wickets put pressure on the middle order but some great partnerships where put together ending the day at the close of play with the Cougars 7/255. Top scorers were Dan Davy 76, Joel Kennedy 43, Kaleb Hamilton 35 and Brad Ilott 33.

Next Sunday Cooroy Eumundi B Grade and C Grade teams will play off in the one day final. B Grade is up against Yandina and C Grade will head down to Stanley Rivers. Best of luck to both teams and congratulations for making the grand final.

Cooroy C Grade is in a strong position after day 1 against Landsborough. Losing the toss (again!), Cooroy was asked to bowl first. Bowling well, with the ball swinging and seaming, the Cooroy bowlers restricted Landsborough to a below par 159 all out. Pommie skipper Rob Plant the pick of the bowlers, taking 3 for 31 off 11 overs, with special mention to junior Harvey Hope who bowled superbly taking 2 for 8 off 4 overs. Two outstanding catches

by Cam Woods helped Cooroy to the driving seat.

Cooroy batted sensibly to be 2 for 80 at close of play, needing another 80 on Saturday for victory.

Sunday morning was very active, however, with a surfing contest at Noosa First Point, TV camera crews covering Noosa Nippers as they went through their paces, plus a small but good wave for all to enjoy in brilliant sunshine. It was the surfing life at its best.

For some of our nippers it was their first experience of catching waves on their small boards. With no sand banks or rips to worry about, conditions were ideal.

The TV crew was from Channel 10 and the purpose for their visit was to shoot footage as part of a

Surf lifesaving has a lot to offer youngsters these days documentary about the lifesaving movement. With Noosa Nipper Club, which includes the Special Nippers, now the biggest in the state, the club was chosen for part of the shoot. This says a lot for the good work of Nipper Chairman Dave Glassock and his team. With the support of the nipper parents, they have taken Noosa Nippers to new heights. Ray Fein, President of the Queensland Junior Advisory Panel, said: “Noosa Nipper Club has now become a benchmark in Queensland.” Coming from a man whose job is to overseer 59 clubs within the state, this is indeed a compliment.

Thunder forecast for Australia Day! The return of the two days has seen some improved performances in the higher grades for TewantinNoosa Cricket Club. My Injury Lawyers 1st grade hosted top-of-the-table Maroochydore at Read Park.

The visitors won the toss and batted and got off to a blistering start.

However, when the main scorer was dismissed at 2/120, the pressure was piled on by the Thunder bowlers and wickets fell regularly.

Best efforts were Jarrod Officer (3/53), Mitch Cook (3/73) and Michael Bidois in his first grade debut (2/20). The visitors were wrapped up for 206. Unfortunately a solid

start was followed by a middle order collapse before Troy Dennien and Zach Allen stemmed the flow finishing the day at 6/72. With Zach off on Qld rep duties next week, Andy Kratzmann slashes back in to keep us in the hunt.

2nd grade were away against second-placed Maroochydore. The hosts elected to bat but never really dominated a tight bowling performance. An improved fielding effort was also evident with 2 runouts and the hosts finally declared late in the day at 7/244. Darcy Little picked up 3/81 and Mitch Hunter 2/63.

With a tricky 11 overs at the end of the day the Thunder lost one wicket to be 1/13 overnight and looking to bat all day next week.

3rd grade were home to Glasshouse and batted first in good conditions. A brilliant 203 run opening stand between Reece Langan (135)

was unlucky not to have a couple more. This a great position to force our first win of the season.

It was away against Burpengary for 5ths. The Thunder bowled first and a great performance saw the hosts knocked over for 99. The wickets were shared around with Joe Jurisevic, Wayne Moore and Jake Garlick (in his first game for the club) picking up 2 each. Unfortunately our batting folded for the first time this season to be bowled out for 86 with Charlie Chaplin (18) the only one showing any real resistance. However, this game is now set up for an outright result next week.

MICHAEL SOBEY

LEARN TO

23 JANUARY 2014

For many years, the major problem within the nipper movement was the retention of the young into the senior ranks. However, with many senior clubs now operating with a more professional attitude and structure, there is more to offer the young than just patrolling and competition. Many of the advanced courses available are resulting in lifesavers choosing a career in paramedics, police, Australian Defence Force, teaching and nursing.

Also, in competition, the coaching that is available is second-to-none.

Several competitors are now pursuing careers as personal trainers.

Also available are courses on

leadership. Last season Noosa Today covered a training school appropriately named Camp Commando. Held for clubbies in the 14/15 year age group, the purpose was to foster and develop lifesaving skills, leadership, personal development, problem solving and team work.

Included on the training staff were members of the Australian Defence Forces.

Such was the success of this camp that it was held again last week. Held at Luther Heights, Coolum, it was attended by 102 participants, including Jed Fahey from Sunshine Beach club and Darcy Glassock from Noosa. Jed, 21, who worked as a mentor and coordinator at the camp, is a veteran of 15 years in lifesaving. “This year we tried something different,” he said. “We concentrated on the pathways that lifesaving has to offer in both lifesaving and life outside our clubs”.

Life Saving Development Officer for the Sunshine Coast, Courtney Elsmore, agreed: “We feel the camp was a great success and the major theme of Pathways offered a lot more than previous years.” It could now be argued that the Australian Lifesaving Movement has more to offer the young people of today than any other organisation within this great country.

Around the greens NOOSA HEADS BOWLS CLUB There will be a special bowls afternoon next Monday to celebrate the Australia Day weekend. It will be a game of Open Pairs. All bowlers are asked to don some appropriate Aussie clothing, and each pair is asked to bring along some Aussie food to share after the game.

Noosa struggled against the powerful Bribie Island players in their season-opening Super Challenge bronze section encounter, at Bribie last Saturday. The closest we came to winning a rink was in the men’s fours, where it was allsquare after the 21 ends but the home side won the required extra end to take the match. There’s no game this weekend with Noosa at home to Tewantin on Saturday, February 1.

The draw for the prestigious men’s A-Singles championship is being made this week, with the first two rounds to be played on Sunday, February 2. The final is scheduled for February 23.

day, February 3, is over-subscribed and a standby sheet has been posted. That certainly augers well for a most successful series of these monthly events, which will run through to June.

The Chalker TEWANTIN NOOSA BOWLS CLUB As a follow up to the successful Grab Life

By The Bowls Day held late last year, David Muir and his energetic group have secured a grant of around $8000 towards encouraging new bowlers of all ages to become bowling enthusiasts. Coupled with the success of our barefoot bowlers program, both Bowls Australia and Bowls Queensland saw fit through their co-coordinator, Mark Casey, to endorse this funding.

It will enable the club to purchase new bowls suitable for small children and younger adults.

It is planned to involve coaches and umpires to ensure a complete training schedule. Well done to all concerned!

Our Super Challenge bronze men’s team were successful in their first match on Saturday against Slander Lakes. We won the fours, triples

and a pairs to win 3-2. The ladies fought a close match, winning the fours and losing the triples to go down by seven shots. There will be a twoweek break before the full season commences on February 1.

Robbo’s day will be held on Sunday, February 9, from 9.15am. Entries close February 8.

Contact Mark Doran for details. The men’s A Grade singles championships commenced last Sunday and attracted a large entry. Super Challenge training will be conducted each Thursday at 5 pm with coach Geoff Campbell in charge.

This will complement Rick Dickson’s Monday sessions.

Les Armstrong POMONA BOWLS CLUB It was good to see everyone back on the green after the Christmas break. Ladies social bowls saw everyone playing tactically to get the lowest winning margin, which was achieved by Katie McInnes, Judy Muir & Gaye Bible, winning by just one shot, 15-14.
