Police were shifting through the rubble on Tuesday to determine the cause of the shed fire.

Shed fire probe A POLICE investigation is underway to determine the cause of a devastating shed fire that destroyed thousands of dollars worth of vehicles and property.

The fire occurred at 60 Hempsall Street, Cootharaba, about 4.30am on Tuesday 2 September.

The owner was not at the site during the blaze as he was away for work.

The first person on the scene was neighbour John Lowe, who said he heard a loud bang from the shed.

Mr Lowe received burns to his left leg and left arm after he attempted to hose the blaze down.

“By the time I got to the shed it was fully engulfed,” he said.

“Because the power had been cut, the water pump wouldn’t work, so the hose was useless.”

The fire destroyed thousands of

dollars worth of equipment, two BMWs, a caravan and motorbike as well as several lawn mowers and personal items.

One of the BMWs was an X5 believed to be the most expensive car in the shed.

Kawana Waters Crime Scene investigators were on site sifting through the rubble to determine the cause.

Mr Lowe said several electrical items could have been responsible

for igniting the fire, but he could only speculate.

“By the time we got to the fire, the shed was completely engulfed,” he said.

Five fire crews attended the blaze and it was under control within 30 minutes.

Area Commander for Caloundra John Webb, who was the Noosa oncall officer at the time, said the shed measured about 12 by 12 metres.

“The shed was completely engulfed and fire crews were able to bring it under control, in order for police to investigate,” he said.

The owner was believed to have been informed about the fire via email as he works at sea.

The Noosa Shire is currently under an “extreme fire danger” and residents are being urged to have their fire safety plans in place.

Food queues lengthening

By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA’S hidden homeless are forming lengthy queues at local support services with the basics of food and shelter in high demand.

The Salvation Army Noosa is reporting an increase in the need for helping hands and food, as non-perishable stocks begin to dry up.

The blame is falling on government cutbacks, which continue to push through parliament spurred on by the Federal Government’s determination to slash spending.

Salvation Army Lieutenant David Sutcliffe core officer Noosa, said Noosa’s homeless population was increasing with a third of all people assisted last year new to the Salvos’ services - and those over 50s are most at risk.

“It can take less than four weeks to go from being financially safe, to be-

ing in a position where you could lose everything,” he said.

“Unfortunately, we often only begin to see people once they have lost everything, including hope. But we can help to try and prevent this from happening.

“We want to encourage people to come and see us immediately if they lose their job, business or accommodation. The earlier we can start helping the better the outcome.”

Lieutenant Sutcliffe said the largest area of need was for food.

“This allows people to still be able to continue to pay their bills,” he said.

Lieutenant Sutcliffe also revealed a number of former small business owners are also making up the queues.

“We have seen an increase recently in the number of people coming to see us for assistance who have lost their small business,” he said.

“One large issue is the number of people over 50 who are unable to find employment. These are skilled people who have worked their whole lives before being put off in the last couple of years due to the economic climate.”

Lieutenant Sutcliffe said one of the biggest issues facing Noosa is affordable housing.

“There is a severe shortage of affordable accommodation in the area, with 20 per cent of people assisted in 2013-14 either homeless, couch surfing or living in tents or their cars,” he said.

Another area in short supply is volunteers and Lieutenant Sutcliffe has extended an invitation for new community minded volunteers to answer the call.

If you would like to find out more about volunteering or to make a donation at the Salvation Army Noosa phone: (07) 5442 4218.

Help wanted: Salvation Army Noosa volunteers David Searle and long time volunteer Barbara Crisp.

OzHarvest REAPed from big-hearted volunteers

By JONATHON HOWARD AS STATE and federal funding continues to shrink for essential social services, volunteer food collection programs such as REAP, are becoming a vital component within Noosa’s social safety network.

In a bid to address the growing need, the Lions Club of Peregian has launched a food rescue program to assist charities through REAP, which is the regional arm of OzHarvest.

OzHarvest is a charitable organisation that has been operating for 10 years and aims to rescue excess food from businesses including food and vegetable markets, bakeries, convention centres, supermarkets, producers and restaurants.

The food is then delivered, at no cost, to charities.

Once delivered to charities, food is either converted into meals or packaged as food baskets for those in need, again at no cost.

The Noosa arm of REAP will start small, providing donated food to charities between Noosa and Coolum. However, in time and in partnership with other local Lions and Lioness Clubs, the intent is to extend the program throughout the Sunshine Coast.

Since beginning the program, more than 28 million meals have been delivered to those in need throughout Australia.

OzHarvest has diverted 9000 tonnes of quality surplus food from landfill.

Member of the Lions Club and REAP co-ordinator Michele Lipner extended her appreciation to participating food donors.

“We are extremely grateful to Essential Grains, Noosa Convention Centre, Bent Banana, Peregian Springs Meats and Peregian Beach Bakery for joining us on this critically important journey,” she said.

“There is a far greater need than people often realise for programs that provide this critical safety net for such a cross section of the community.

“While we live in such a beautiful part of the country, there is minimal awareness of the depth and breadth of need in the area.”

It is noteworthy that the program is being undertaken and driven by the Lions Club - a club dedicated to community service.

Michele added that the Lions Club is a perfect vehicle for accessing a key volunteer base for the distribution of foods to worthy charities.

Current recipients of donated food items are Salvation Army Noosa, United Synergies in Tewantin and Salvation Army Coolum. However, there is expectation of expansion within the coming months.

To learn more about REAP or OzHarvest, go to www.reap.org.au or www.ozharvest.org. If you would like to know more about how you can support REAP Sunshine Coast, call 0406 085 747.

Noosa hosts sevens carnival for economic try

By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA is expected to receive a large boost in early October after it was selected to host the Oceania Sevens tournament which will form the centrepiece of this year’s Noosa International Sevens festival.

Teams from 12 nations, including Pacific heavyweights New Zealand, Australia, Fiji and Samoa, will be spending up to a week in Noosa for the competition from 3-5 October.

The competition will also include the first international women’s rugby action to take place in Australia for more than five years.

This competition will see current and past Women’s Sevens World Champions New Zealand and Australia also headlining the list of participating teams.

The Federation of Oceania Rugby Unions (FORU), the regional arm of the International Rugby Board, is especially happy that New Zealand’s world champion All Blacks Sevens squad will also travel to Noosa to take part in the men’s tournament for the very first time.

“FORU is delighted to be a part of this wonderful sevens carnival, and this year we are delivering the strongest ever Oceania Sevens,” said Will Glenwright, IRB general manager, Oceania.

“Oceania is home to some of the world’s best sevens teams including New Zealand, Fiji, Australia and Samoa.”

Those four teams, which are ranked as core members of the IRB Sevens World Series, will be joined in Noosa by teams from American Samoa, Cook Islands, New Caledonia, Niue, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tahiti and Tonga.

FORU will also be running a seven-team women’s tournament alongside the men’s event in Noosa, with the national squads from Australia, Cook Islands, Fiji, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa and Tonga all confirmed.

The strength of this year’s tournament reflects the growing rise of sevens rugby across the world as the 2016 Brazil Olympic Games edge closer. Rugby Sevens will become an official Olympic sport at the Rio games and the short but fast and furious form of the traditional 15-a-side game is winning legions of followers

And there is an extra incentive for the “noncore” men’s teams taking part at Noosa as the event has become a qualifying tournament for the HSBC Sevens World Series.

The top performing non-core men’s team in Noosa will win a place at next year’s IRB World Series events in Hong Kong and Wellington.

The second best team will secure a place in Hong Kong alone.

Being selected to host the FORU tournament is another remarkable achievement for the Noosa Dolphins Rugby Club, which last year demonstrated its capabilities when it brought

the British and Irish Lions to the Sunshine Coast in the final week of their Australian tour.

“The club, its members and the people of Noosa proved they can meet the needs and expectations of world-class sporting organisations and we’ll do it again in 2014,” event director Dene Brooks said.

“I can guarantee a warm welcome and a great weekend of action for all the teams and their fans coming to the tournament.The Noosa International Sevens Festival was established in 2010 and has since grown to become Australia’s premier rugby sevens event outside the IRB World Series.

The Noosa Sevens Rugby Festival is set to be one of Australia's biggest in October.

Drink drivers who won’t stop MAGISTRATE John Hodgins said Noosa Shire’s drink-driving problem was “appalling” as two women appeared before the court on highrange drink driving charges.

Sally Katrina Clark of Eumundi pleaded guilty on Tuesday in the Noosa Magistrates’ Court to driving while under the influence of alcohol.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Melissa Campbell said witnesses saw Clark driving across the Eumundi Markets car park field on 30 May, before becoming bogged in the mud.

Witnesses tried to help Clark out of the vehicle, before she fell to the ground.

Police later attended Clark’s home where they alleged she was stumbling, falling over and talking with a slur.

Clark was then purported to have run away from police when they tried to take her to the station for a breath test.

Sgt Campbell said while the police weren’t able to breath test the defendant, it was clear from the accounts of witnesses and police that Clark was intoxicated.

“The defendant posed an extraordinary risk to the community and to herself (by driving),” she said.

Sgt Campbell asked the magistrate to treat the matter as an extremely high blood alcohol reading.

Clark’s driving history included four previous drink driving charges including a .299 per cent BAC reading in 2010 and a .256 per cent BAC reading in 2008.

Clark’s defence lawyer said the defendant had fractured her skull only 24 hours before the incident and said the event may have been a result of the injury, however, no medical records were handed to the court.

Magistrate Hodgins said it was “simply unacceptable to have high levels of drink driving in the community.”

He labelled her traffic history as “sad” and previous drink driving convictions as “disgraceful”.

Clark was sentenced to nine months’ jail with immediate parole and disqualified from driving for two years.

Monika Miethke of Pomona also pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol, at Noosa Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.

Miethke was placed on probation

The hidden face of domestic violence

By JOLENE OGLE

DEBRA* is one of the silent victims of domestic violence.

“In my experience, as a child, I was one of the silent victims of DV. “The impact of years of abuse from my father have had such a lasting effect on my life and the life of my siblings.

“DV has a nasty life span and I don’t believe kids are as resilient as we are told,”she said.

Debra said she wanted to share her story in the hope other children who are suffering or who have suffered will realise that a life of violence and fear is not normal.

“My mum never spoke out, but it was a different time then.

“I want children to know that they can be brave and speak out for their mums, tell someone what’s happening at home. It’s not normal to live a life of fear and violence,” she said.

“I know mum knew it was affecting us, but I don’t think she knew how much.

“We suffered in silence, too scared to say anything to anyone.

“I guess kids feel they have no power. We relied on our parents so much and we felt trapped in a life of violence.”

Debra recalls a miserable childhood spent living in fear of when her father would next snap.

“I lost count of how many kitchen tables we had to repair,” she said.

“Something would make him snap.

“It could be that we did something earlier in the day or someone would just say the wrong thing.

“He would flip the table upside down, grab mum by the hair and punch her. This was our dinner time… we hated it, but it was normal to us.”

Debra said she feared speaking out to anyone.

“Dad was just so charming to everyone outside the family home.

“Everyone in the community loved him, thought he was a great guy.

“I was always too nervous to say anything to anyone because I feared they wouldn’t believe me,” she said.

“One day my cousin said to me that she wished she had a dad like mine.

I said to her ‘are you kidding?’ and she couldn’t believe I thought he was a terrible father.

“I never said anything to anyone after that.”

Debra is now married with four children and said the impact of the 17 years spent living with her father is still visible today.

“I have three sisters and a brother.

“We all left home as soon as we could, except for my brother.

“I think he felt torn between escaping and staying to look after mum.

“But my older sister got pregnant to get away, I went to nursing school and my other sister ran away to the army.

“But even today, we’re still not ok

about it.

“One of my sisters has completely shut off from the whole family.

“I don’t think she can stand to be near us, it reminds her of that life and the violence.

“My other sister absolutely denies anything happened – she denies the violence, she doesn’t recall dad hitting mum with a frypan.

“She doesn’t remember any of it.

“You don’t know how every kid will deal with it… some people can never recover.”

Debra said it took many years and a failed escape attempt before her mum finally left her abusive husband.

“I went to see mum one day and she was so pale – she looked like death warmed up.

“I said to her, ‘Mum, if you don’t leave now, very, very soon you will die’ and it must have affected her because two weeks later she finally left,” Debra said.

Debra said she never grew up hating men.

“I knew it was dad and his issues.

“I never thought of all men as violent or abusive.

“I now enjoy the love of a good man,” she said.

“And you know, mum always loved dad, she just didn’t like him hitting her.” *Name has been changed to protect identity.

Where to turn when it turns HELP is at hand. Noosa Heads officer in charge Senior Sergeant Steve McReight said the community could help curb domestic and family violence in the Noosa Shire.

“Pick up the phone,” he said. “If you can hear something happening next door or you think someone is in danger, pick up the phone and call the police. You can remain anonymous and we can attend the home.”

If you or anyone you know is experiencing domestic or family violence, there is help at hand.

Beware of technology CENTACARE SCOPE manager Brigitte McLennan said technology was making it easier for abusers to track their victims, thanks to tracking apps installed on their phones.

Ms McLennan said the use of spyware in domestic violence was increasing but being aware of the apps could help victims protect themselves.

Location services and the use of GPS in many smartphones provide the opportunity for spyware to notify someone of another person’s whereabouts.

Usually, the apps need to be installed on both phones, so keep an eye out for any new app icons that have appeared on your phone.

Common apps available for download include Find My Friends, Where is My Friend, Glympse Share Location, Tracku Friend Tracker, Bugg and My Friend Map.

Dirty secret

Accounting, Taxation and Business Services Domestic and family violence is rife throughout the Noosa Shire.

By JOLENE OGLE SHOCKING new statistics from a local support organisation show Noosa has a dirty, dark secret when it comes to domestic and family violence.

Centacare SCOPE Domestic and Family Violence Services have reported between 15 and 28 victims are attending Noosa Magistrates’ Court every fortnight to apply for a Domestic Violence Order (DVO) against their partner or family member, with some of these applications made by the police.

Centacare SCOPE manager Brigitte McLennan said SCOPE, which provides support for victims of domestic and family violence, attends all local courts on a rotation basis and is often saturated with requests for help.

Recent research from the Australian Bureau of Statistics states as many as one in three women experience DV in at least one form during their lives, but Ms McLennan says domestic violence is difficult to measure as many victims don’t come forward.

“The number of victims could be two, even three, times more than what is reported,” she said.

In the past three months from May, SCOPE has supported 644 victims in DV courts throughout the region, including Noosa, averaging 20 contacts per month.

In the same period 341 referrals to the organisation came from the police who had attended a DV incident.

Noosa Heads officer in charge Senior Sergeant Steve McReight said domestic and family violence incidents were a high priority for the police.

“We take it very seriously and have checks in place to make sure we’re doing all we can to help people affected by DV,” he said.

Sen Sgt McReight said the police now had better powers to assist victims of domestic violence, including entering private property and detaining offenders for 24 hours.

On Tuesday, five people faced Noosa Magistrate’s Court charged with breaching a domestic violence order.

Sen Sgt McReight said it was also important to help offenders understand the conditions of a DVO. “Many times I have seen someone breach a DVO and it’s because they don’t under-

stand the conditions of the order. We work with the courts to make sure offenders know what they can and can’t do to prevent breaches,” he said.

Ms McLennan said the community could help bring domestic and family violence out from behind closed doors.

“It’s important to talk about it and make that call. If you think someone is in trouble, then pick up the phone,” she said.

Ms McLennan said domestic violence killed one woman every week.

“If one women per week was killed by a shark attack, there would be outrage, so why is there not outrage over the death of one woman per week because of domestic violence?” she said.

Snr Sgt McReight said anyone could phone the police to report a domestic or family violence incident and remain anonymous.

If you or anyone you know is experiencing domestic violence, you can call DV Connect on 1800 811 811, the police on 000 or visit www. scopeDV.org for more information on domestic violence.

Weeding out chemical sprays FINDING ways to deal with Noosa’s invasive weeds and grasses has raised many questions around the use of chemical sprays across the biosphere with some residents fearing the cost of chemical-related health impacts.

While several Noosa agricultural experts have defended the use of Roundup (active ingredient glyphosate) as harmless when applied according to the instructions, residents continue to call for alternatives to chemical sprays as a matter of public safety.

Noosa Council is now investigating whether a new chemical-free weed management program, known as “Weedtechnics” developed in Sydney, could be implemented to benefit the biosphere.

Weedtechnics uses steam instead of commonly used Roundup and other herbicides to treat weed overgrowth and evasive grasses.

Unlike other steam devices, Weedtechnics delivers the perfect amount of super heated water and wet steam to a spray nozzle that eradicates weeds. The weeds are mostly eradicated after two applications.

Local property maintenance business operator Paul Sommers, from Garden Warriors, is one of Australia’s

licensees for Weedtechnics and has already partnered with Byron Shire Council to trial it on open spaces.

Speaking with Noosa Today, Mr Sommers said he saw Weedtechnics as being a perfect fit for Noosa.

“I think Noosa has a similar community focus to Byron Bay and there’s certainly a desire from the public to find alternatives to chemicals,” he said.

“The Byron Bay Shire Council has had an extremely proactive approach to the new technology in steam spraying, which is driven by members of the public wanting to move away from commonly used sprays.”

Mr Sommers said past steam spraying systems had failed to find a place in the market.

“The new designs and application means you only have to apply the steam twice to remove the invasive grass or weed for good,” he said.

Following the success of Weedtechnics in Byron Bay several Victorian councils have also introduced the steam devices, to both address community concerns and as a proactive trial measure.

Noosa Council’s parks leader said council was currently investigating the Weedtechnics system and was talking to other councils that had used them to determine their effectiveness.

Garden Warrior and Weedtechnics rep Paul Sommers wants Noosa Council to take notice of the innovations in steam spraying of invasive weeds.

“Council is committed to investigating alternate weed control methods and has conducted many trials using a number of natural, non-toxic products to eradicate weeds in parks and gardens,” she said. “Around 12 years ago, council trialled two different hydrothermal weeding systems but both

were found to be ineffective, only burning the foliage and not actually killing the weeds.

“Council also trialled a weed burning system with the same results, effective in burning the leaves but not killing the roots.

“So far none of these products are

Winning some Hearts and Minds

By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA Marina is now filled with local businesses following the new store opening of Hearts and Minds Art and the addition of a new restaurant, Italian Marina Pizza-Restaurant, which will open this Saturday 6 September.

Noosa shoppers are on the hunt for original, quality products as Hearts and Minds Art opened its second store.

Owners Julie Holland and Greg Peeler have extended their business into the large gallery space at the Marina, while retaining their store on Hastings Street.

“We are very excited to be at the beautiful Noosa Marina,” Ms Holland said.

“We will continue to offer our customers great service and quality items as well as to continue to profile so many wonderful artists; from writers to painters, ceramicists to furniture makers.

“The space is so large, light and airy that pieces can really be viewed to advantage. We would love to welcome locals and visitors to find their perfect item, or to source something unique for them.”

Meanwhile, Italian Marina Pizza-Restaurant owner Michelangelo Cecconi is pleased to announce the opening of his third restaurant.

And he’s planning a big opening night of tastings from his wood-fired oven and homemade pastas.

“To celebrate our kick off on 6 September from 5pm to 10.30pm, the grand opening will include free tasting of some of our chef’s top dishes and pizzas from our woodfired oven, combined with wines and beers,” Michelangelo said.

Michelangelo was born and raised in Florence and has 14 years’ experience in the restaurant industry and

GIVE US YOUR VIEWS: Do you think Noosa Council should move towards chemical-free spraying across the shire to reduce weeds and invasive grasses?

Cooloola heritage listing NOOSA councillors have unanimously voted to write to the Australian Heritage Council in support of National Heritage listing for the Cooloola region.

Preserving Cooloola’s natural beauty is something all councillors agreed was a good move during recent council meetings, including Councillor Tony Wellington and Mayor Noel Playford.

However, both Cr Wellington and Mayor Playford were initially opposed to the motion moved by Cr Bob Abbot which excluded an area around the airstrips at Teewah from the heritage listing proposal.

Cr Abbot said he wanted to ensure that any future construction of a shed on the Noosa North Shore Landing Ground was able to go ahead without being impacted by the National Heritage listing. In speaking against, Cr Wellington said he didn’t believe the listing would have any impact on the development as a shed was consis-

tent with existing use.

To provide further clarity around the issue, Cr Tony Wellington provided Noosa Today readers with a statement, which said in part: “In the case of the National Heritage listing for Cooloola, both the mayor and I voted against a motion moved at the general committee meeting.

“This was not because either of us opposed council’s support for the National Heritage listing.

“On the contrary, we are both fierce advocates for this historical and long-awaited recognition for Cooloola.

“The motion before us sought to excise certain parts of Noosa North Shore from the listing recommendation.

“In essence I wanted to see more land included in the Heritage listing than the motion allowed for.

“However a majority of my fellow councillors were happy with the identified exclusions and so the motion was carried.”

Ms Bath got staff and students from Sunshine Beach High to get involved with fund-raising and awareness building through local media.

So far she has raised $500 and had students help tip a bucket of icy water over her head.

Sunshine Beach High principal Leanne Jensen-Steele is next in line for the ice bucket challenge next week, provided the school reaches $1000.

“We all need to play a part in helping to fund-raise to find a cure,” Ms Bath said.

Lastly, Kristi said “thank you” to Justine and to the school community for their donations.

To find out more or to make a donation, phone Sunshine Beach High School on (07) 5440 4222.

WHEN Noosa resident Kristi McClymont was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in 2012, she was both petrified and devastated.

Not only did she have to come to terms with not being able to drive or walk unaided, but she realised the precious moments she would miss with her three boys.

“My children are my everything,” she said.

“I am devastated that I won’t see my three boys graduate from school or university, I will never get to see them get married, or meet and cuddle their first baby.”

But Kristi has made the decision to remain positive.

“I’ve made the decision to make the most of what time I have left,” she said.

Motor Neurone Disease is a genetic condition and both Kristi’s grandmother and father have passed away from the disease.

It was Kristi’s story that inspired Sunshine Beach High School teacher Justine Bath to take up the “ice bucket challenge”.

The ice bucket challenge is a global fund-raising initiative to help with research and advancement towards a cure for the debilitating MND. Ms Bath took up the challenge after she was nominated by a friend in the USA. “At the time I didn’t know what the ice bucket thing was all about,” she said.

“But I did some research into ALS/MND and knew I needed to do something more than just a Facebook post.”

Smarting under smart devices?

By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA kids as young as two are glued to their smart devices as evidence emerges the device addiction could be damaging children’s physical and psychological wellbeing, according to University of Sunshine Coast.

They can be seen in the corners of playgrounds and huddled in their friend’s bedrooms, tapping and swiping away on the various screens that offer endless games, status updates, internet browsing and keeping tabs on their peers.

While the benefits of using and understanding technology remains important for work and study, young kids are being termed “iBabies” as

they continually reach for the smart device to ask "Siri" another question and avoid face-to-face interaction.

In fact, according to studies from University of the Sunshine Coast Psychology Professor Rachael Sharman, 40 per cent of children aged four to six years are already online and by the age of nine nearly all children have been online at school and most have internet access at home.

Over half of nine-year-olds have accessed a mobile (smart) device and almost half report having access privately in their bedroom or friend’s house.

“Children simply don’t have the sophistication to recognise danger online (in fact they are surprisingly and supremely confident about their

abilities). For example, nearly one third of children aged 9 to12 years have been “bothered” or “upset” by something they have seen online or that has been sent to them,” she said.

“Nearly half report seeing sexual images at this age (9-12 years). Interestingly only 16 per cent of parents report this to be the case.

“As a general rule, children under 12 years should not be allowed to access online devices privately - they literally lack the brain development to make sensible decisions, to know what to report to parents/teachers, to understand the meaning/content of images sent to them.”

Professor Sharman said too much “screen time” including TV, was consistently associated with prob-

lems both physical (lack of exercise, obesity) and psychological (poor sleep, general difficulties).

“More than two hours a day appears to place children at greater risk of developing physical or psychological problems,” she said.

Professor Sharman said the key for parents was “moderation” and “supervision”.

“Even better, make weekday use of computer/smart devices for homework or schoolwork only,” she said.

“Make sure they have outside interests (such as) sport, friendships and recreational exercise.”

Meanwhile, parents are also to blame by using the smart device as a babysitter.

“There are unfortunately a proportion of parents who seem to use these devices to “babysit” their children,” Professor Sharman said.

Smart phones overused

Noosa youngsters Jessica, 7, and Will, 6, (last names withheld) are already avid play-phone users, but how are their tree climbing skills?

shine Beach High has revealed most students now carry smart phones and many admitted they could not go without their device.

Several teachers also commented that the phone was playing an increasing role in the classroom as an educational tool. Howev-

very seriously,” she said.

“If we find a student is misusing the device whether that be in the content they are viewing or bullying someone for example, then that student can face suspension.”

To find out more, Noosa Today asked four Year 12 students how many hours they spend on their phones and could they live without a smart device?

er, teachers are also being forced to confiscate devices or even eject some students from classrooms temporarily for misusing their devices in class.

Sunshine Beach High principal Leanne JensenSteele said students found to be misusing smart phones and other devices can be suspended.

Crime stats queried THE RACQ has named Coolum Beach and Cooroy among the topten worst suburbs for home thefts on the Sunshine Coast, but local police have labelled the statistics inaccurate.

The data is based on the number of home theft claims made per 100 policies in a postcode and placed Maroochydore, Cotton Tree and Kuluin at the top of the list.

Hervey Bay and surrounding suburbs in postcode 4655 came in second, followed by Coolum Beach and other suburbs in postcode 4573 at third place.

Noosa Shire’s postcode 4563,

which includes Cooroy, Black Mountain, and Lake MacDonald, came in at eighth on the list.

RACQ Executive Manager Insurance Communications Mike Sopinski said the 2014 Home Security Index has revealed local crime rates impact the decision of property buyers.

“Our research shows the majority of those surveyed (81 per cent) said crime rates in an area affect their buying choice,” he said.

“More than half said they would check crime rates in the local area, and nearly three quarters said previous crimes at a property would impact whether they purchase.”

Mr Sopinski said their research shows most break-ins are opportunistic and many householders are making it easy for thieves to enter their properties through open windows and doors.

Noosa Heads’ officer in charge Senior Sergeant Steve McReigh said it was no surprise Noosa Heads and surrounds weren’t on the list, but statistics based on postcodes aren’t always accurate.

“Our computer system allows us to see crime statistics street by street, providing far more accurate data,” he said.

“Sometimes an entire postcode can be labelled a crime hot spot

Enjoy a nighttime wander?

when it’s not really the case.”

A search of the QLD Police online crime statistics shows Caloundra postcode 4551 as having a high occurrence of unlawful entries for 2013 with a total of 244 reported, while Maroochydore’s 4558 postcode recorded 130 incidents and Coolum, or postcode 4573, has a total of 121 unlawful entries for 2013.

Cooroy and surrounds, originally ranked at number eight on the top ten list, came in at a mere 25 unlawful entries for 2013, while Kawana postcode 4557, which came in at number nine on the RACQ list, recorded 81 unlawful entries.

Noosa mums won’t give up on births

By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA mothers continue to voice their support for a birthing centre to be built at Noosa Hospital, in the face of fears the future of local public health services is in jeopardy.

This week Noosa midwife Sylvia Jenkin reveals her concerns once Nambour’s birthing centre is shut down from 2016, diverting birthing services to Kawana.

Noosa mum Sarah Nolan has also slammed Nambour’s after care service when she had her son 13 months ago.

“

I have an older son and it was difficult with the travel to Nambour. This time, with Oliver, I have to say I did not like the service at Nambour. The birthing care was fine, but the after care service was terrible – I’d support a birthing centre in Noosa…

Sarah Nolan with Oliver (13 months) of Noosa.

“

I’m a midwife in the region and I have to say Nambour Hospital’s birthing centre is rundown and needs attention. Noosa Hospital needs this birthing centre, especially when the Nambour birthing centre is shut down in 2016…

Noosa midwife Sylvia Jenkin.

IF TREKKING through the natural bush, enjoying a night-time wander through a sound garden and sharing a meal with new friends sounds like your piece of heaven, then don’t miss your chance to register for the 2014 Great Noosa Trail Walk.

The event is limited to 150 places to maintain the community atmosphere that has made the event so popular.

Now in its second year, the walk will be held over three days from 4 October, starting at the Cooroy Lower Mill site, the walk will showcase the region’s natural beauty and travel through the hinterland towns of Cooroy, Kin Kin, Cooran and Pomona.

Event organiser Shaun Walsh said there are a few changes to the route and activities this year, but promises the walk will be even more enjoyable than last year.

“It is looking like we will book out and have a full contingent of walkers enjoying the majesty of the Noosa hinterland,” he said.

Camping is included in the booking fee but if you prefer sleeping five-stars rather than under the stars, there are guest houses and accommodation along the way that you can also book.

The 2014 Great Noosa Trail Walk is $180 per person. For more details on what is included in the booking fee and to find out how you can register, visit www.greatnoosatrailwalk.com.au.

Horsing around to cut stress

By JONATHON HOWARD

More than 110 residents attended the recent Noosa Council’s Cooroy Butter Factory workshop. Both Cr Tony Wellington and council’s director of community services, Alan (Fox) Rogers chaired the meeting.

Lyn McCrae having her say at the future of the Cooroy Butter Factory workshop.

Better Butter Factory

By JONATHON HOWARD DOZENS of ideas to create a more sustainable model for the Cooroy Butter Factory were added to the melting pot during a public workshop at the iconic Maple Street factory on Wednesday, 27 August.

More than 110 Cooroy and Noosa Shire residents attended the workshop and while no idea was off the table, several are starting to make clear inroads.

Among those was an idea to hand management of the Butter Factory to a Cooroy community group, although determining which group and how the handover would take place were yet to be determined.

But before a final decision can be made, Noosa Council is seeking further community input from those unable to attend the workshop.

Noosa Council’s Director of Community Services, Alan (Fox) Rogers said what was needed now was to hear from those groups who could not attend the workshop.

“Students, teachers, mums and dads, other arts, craft, heritage, music groups and community groups and other social enterprises - all those who may benefit in the future from having a wonderful venue and facility that the Cooroy Butter Factory could become with the right operational model,” Mr Rogers said.

“No ideas are off the table.”

During the workshop, councillor Tony Wellington and Mr Rogers dispelled any myths and clarified council’s position - which is not to close the Butter Factory but instead develop a better operating model that will create a more vibrant asset for the community.

Both Cr Wellington and Mr Rogers extended their gratitude to those who took part.

“We really appreciate the time, energy and ideas that people contributed at the workshop,” Mr Rogers said.

“We were encouraged to think big and heard ideas about creating: a multi-use facility for arts and music; a place where local heritage is preserved; a ceramic centre of excellence and modelling the Butter Factory on other successful regional venues and more.

“This is an important community asset. Once we have gathered as many ideas as possible, we will evaluate and consider the options.”

RIDING and interacting with horses is helping a growing number of Noosa youngsters to cope with depression, stress, anger and anxiety.

Sunshine Coast Riding for the Disabled based at 2 Monak Road, North Armidale, meets with about 70 children on Tuesdays and Wednesdays each week from 9am to 12.30pm.

The program allows both able and disabled children to interact with horses and forces the kids out of their shells.

SSC Riding for the Disabled committee member Dianne Bennett said the equine assisted learning program was proving to be a huge success.

“We’re seeing more than 70 children attending each week over the two sessions,” she said.

“The health benefits of horses have long been known, but I think families are now taking notice and are eager to get their children involved,” he said.

According to ground breaking new research, from the American Psychological Association, teenagers who spent time grooming, handling and riding horses had lower levels of stress hormones.

Researchers tested the saliva of 130 youths who were taking part in a school horsemanship course that lasted 12 weeks.

They spent 90 minutes a week learning about grooming and horsemanship.

Each teenager gave six samples of saliva over a two day period before and after the 12-week program.

Researchers analysed the levels

The results, published in the American Psychological Association’s Human-Animal Interaction Bulletin, revealed that children who played with horses had “significantly” lower stress levels than a control group.

Horsemanship programs are now being used globally to provide therapy for people who have psychological problems and disabilities.

Jordie's timely triathlon switch I CAN’T explain how delighted I was when watching 7 news and heard Noosa lifesaver Jordan Mercer say “it’s time I maybe looking at switching sports to triathlon’’.

The statement may come as a shock to some who have seen this delightful young lady conquer many hurdles in her short but illustrious career.

Jordie had claimed her latest scalp becoming the first female to win four consecutive Molokai-2-Oahu paddleboard world Champioships.

A first in the 18-year history of the event, and even more enjoyable after Jordan’s description of this race as “ the toughest thing this year was not being sure of where my opposi-

Benny’s

beat BENNY PIKE

tion was’’. And that’s saying something when you think the competitors are sitting out in the middle of the ocean.

Their only contact is with their support crew, which included her father and coach Darren, who has guided this rising star from the beginning.

I and many others have long suggested the switch to triathlons, a sport that she already has the swim and run leg to start her progress into a World and Olympic Sport.

The switch won’t be easy, but when I think back I am reminded of so many Noosa triathlon winners who emerged from single discipline to become world leaders in triathlon.

I know times change but 1983 Noosa tri winner Liz Hepple being a terrific cyclist helped her win three times.

She went on to represent Australia as a cyclist at the ’88 Seoul Olympics. Inaugural Noosa Tri Walk of fame inductee Emma Carney is another who began her successful Tri career on the back of a fantastic running cross-country base.

There are plenty of others who have made a successful transition, but it all depends on the will and courage of wanting to achieve the achievable.

Jordan has both attributes, the full support of her family and Noosa Surf club. Sadly she will have to make some tough decisions which may see her divorce herself from many surfclub events and maybe even stepping away from her beloved club.

As most know Triathlons are made up of three disciplines swim, run and bike.

Her swim leg can be strengthened by Noosa aquatics and former Oympics coach John Rogers, the run which is her strength can only be embellished with a suitable training program.

The bike is the question mark, but I think former national cycling mentor Warren Mcdonald could be the answer.

McDonald is presently guiding coast young guns Daniel Fitter and Ryan Cavanagh to National and International honours. If Jordan needs any inspiration, she needs only to have a chat with her dad’s mate Grant Kenny.

After winning four national ironman titles from 1980 to ’83, he switched to kayak’s and went on to compete at the ’84 and ’88 Olympics, claiming bronze in ’84 with fellow sport jumper and former Bryon Bay clubbie Barry Kelly. In fact lifesaving has contributed to over 200 Gold medals in Australian Olympic history.

Now Jordie there's the challenge to aim for, you have the ability. Until next time..

COOROY Rotary has welcomed its newest member, Noble Peace Prize Certificate recipient and UNESCO Peace Prize holder Vivianne Dawalibi.

Vivianne was born in Syria and grew up in Sudan. She served for two decades assisting the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in providing solutions to refugees’ issues.

She was entrusted to lead various emergency operations with UNHCR starting from Sudan, to Kenya, Somalia, Armenia, Belarus, Bangladesh and finally in Bosnia Herzegovina during the Kosovo conflict.

Each of these operations had its own specificity depending on political conditions of that country and relationship with UNHCR in regard to International Refugee Convention.

She said she was delighted to become a refugee herself in Australia (1999).

Vivianne now runs the Cooroy Family Practice. In welcoming Vivianne to the Rotary Club of Cooroy, president Chris Durie said the club was proud and honoured to have Vivianne as its newest member.

“She brings with her all the ideals of Rotary in world understanding, peace and community involvement,” he said.

“You will all hear more from Rotary and Vivianne in the future, starting with the Cooroy Mountain walk community event in October.”

Mr Durie also extended a warm welcome to residents to come and see Rotary at work every Monday at 6pm at the CWA Hall Cooroy.

Mr Durie can be contacted on 0409 875 507.

Vivianne can be contacted at the Cooroy Family Practice in Myall Street, phone 5472 0064.

Vivianne was officially inducted into the Rotary Club of Cooroy by visiting District Governor George Grant.

Pharmacy stealing the limelight

By JONATHON HOWARD STAFF members from Noosaville Amcal Pharmacy have been recognised for their hard work and commitment to customer service.

Their efforts were recognised during the annual QLD Pharmacy Assistants Annual Conference, which took place at the Crown Plaza Surfers Paradise on 16 and 17 August.

Noosaville Amcal was nominated for three distinguished categories including pharmacy of the year, community engagement pharmacy of the year and retail manager of the year.

Much to the shock of Noosaville Amcal Pharmacy manager Janine Kerr, she was named the 2014 retail manager of the year.

Mrs Kerr said she had focused on training and creating a memorable experience for customers.

“We want customers who visit the Noosaville Amcal Pharmacy to feel welcome and have their problems dealt with in a courteous and professional manner,” she said.

“I think we’re achieving this everyday and the nominations were in recognition of our hard work.”

Noosaville Amcal owner Steven Winnitt said the family business had been serving the community for the past 17 years.

“We like to ensure those customers that enter with a problem, leave with a solution,” he said.

“We’re also looking towards a bright future with a focus on (in store) health checks and helping customers to learn more about their health.”

You can find the Noosaville Amcal at the Noosa Village Shopping Centre on Gibson Road, or phone (07) 5449 9049.

Wrong prescription

Thanks Noosa Today for my tickets to the Hudsons Circus. Had a great time even in the rain.

To those people raising funds for research towards Motor Neurone Disease - every dollar counts.

I AGREE with Liz Aspinal about the money stopped at Noosa Hospital for doing hip and knee replacements. Everyone has to go through Nambour Hospital with a waiting time of four to six years. It has to be a joke.

If you’re not in a medical and hospital fund the government does not care. I am an age pensioner and Nambour Hospital told me they have a long waiting list for knee and hip replacements. I thought the government was going to fix the waiting list.

Then why do they stop the money for Noosa Hospital doing hip and knee replacements?

Can any readers let me know why money was stopped at Noosa Hospital? My wife and I suspect if you are on the age pension, the people in power don’t care about you. Again, I support Liz 100 per cent.

Keep in good health.

Joe Thomas, Tewantin.

Power-ful response

To Noosa Council for not at least giving dog owners, who break the rules, a warning. The dog issues are getting out of hand across the shire.

WE ARE absolutely floored by the increase in our power bill this week - an extra $150 increase from the last bill. There are only two of us in our home and we sit at night with a TV and one light on, we are very power conscious with my cooking and usage and yet we get a bill of $650.

How the hell are people going to be able to afford to live? We are the ones making up for all the revenue losses due to all the solar installations and rebates - it stinks! Some $60 of this bill is GST - if the government is getting this off every user this country should be the richest country in the world, with the very best services, where’s it all going?

Jocelyn West, Eumundi.

What a rip-off To those people who keep dumping their rubbish in beach access bins.

THE recent price increases for supply and use of electricity are a total rip-off! What an amazing coincidence that the electricity retailers all moved their service charges and account discounts at the same time and by similiar amounts.

What these increases mean is that any savings resulting from the repeal of the carbon tax will go straight into the retailers’ pockets rather than to us users as was intended by the Federal Government. As I say ... a rip-off.

Mr J. Duke, Tewantin.

Power price play THANKS for allowing us to air our views on power costs.

We are p***** off with the spin from politicians and power people when they talk of lower power usage by us consumers via self-power generation and sensible use of power being the main factor in the ridiculous rise in power prices.

The cost of power to Australians is the highest in the world and the power people think they can justify this? I can’t see how they can do that.

I recently listened to an interview with Bob Katter who stated that because of lower consumption of power by us consumers, the suppliers need to raise the cost of power to give them the profit they were promised with privatisation. How ridiculous is that?

How do the low income people in Australia afford to pay such huge power bills? Or do they sit in their lounge rooms with no heating, wrapped in blankets.

We hope that all the media bring this issue to the politicians’ notice and we have some firm thinking on the future of power generation and the associated costs.

Michael Fayne, Noosaville.

Spin they’re in IN REPLY to Jack Twyford, (Noosa Today, 28 August): The Sunshine Coast Council certainly did buy an expensive ad (with our money) in a local community newspaper recently. In the ad, they boasted of how generous they are (with our money) toward us residents in the Eumundi, Doonan, Verrierdale and Weyba Downs area.

The suddenly-caring SCC - a new-found feeling which, of course, has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the threat of a boundary change - says, “It has invested $8 million in infrastructure in the EDV area in less than six

THIS week’s Lenscape photo contribution comes from 15-year-old Theo Calvet of Noosa. Theo took this snap of his mate Callum Everson, 15, slotting into a tube at Boiling Pot (National Park) on Sunday, 24 August. Callum attends Sunshine Beach High School and takes part in surfing as an elective. Noosa Today would like to thank Callum’s mum Jacqui Roberts for submitting this great shot.

years”. (While, incidentally, only managing to find examples totalling $4.1 million.)

But excuse me, in his Mayoral Minute of the 24 July, Mayor Jameson says that his council rakes in approximately $4.5 million every year in rates from the EDV area.

Now by my calculations $4.5 million per year multiplied by six comes to $27 million, not $8 million.

Where’s our missing $19 million?

I can’t believe that there are still people out there who want to stay with this mob.

Victor Waterhouse, Doonan.

Noosa a must ALTHOUGH initially ambivalent on hearing of EDV some years ago, a more focused look at the issues convinced me that the real question is not whether we want to join Noosa but whether we can afford NOT to.

Noosa Council shifted its HQ from Pomona to Tewantin in 1980 when its demographic centre of importance shifted to the coast. It deserves the right to adjust again - with a boundary realignment: to be able to control inevitable development pressures on its southern flank in a way best suited to community values and safeguard its identity and character - and its approaches.

Sunshine Coast Council can well afford to be gracious and acknowledge there are common economic links and interests that create the community relationship between Noosa, the Noosa hinterland, Pomona, Cooroy, Eumundi and points incorporating Lake Weyba to Peregian Beach on the coast.

What might happen if we don’t get a boundary change? The future of Eumundi and surrounds will depend on the foresight, imagination and integrity of councillors in a council where attention is focused on development and the economic hubs to the south.

The over-riding issue: we can’t afford to simply “hope” that a pro-development council will “do the right thing”; nor can we afford to simply “hope” that intransigence and pettiness will turn to community, sustainability, and intelligent development.

Unfortunately, on July 25, even though sublimely unaffected in every way, our own Eumundi area councillors decided not to raise their voices on ratepayers’ behalf - so we are literally not represented at all, by or in, our own council. They made a decision to deny

representing us, then the whole council chose to deny us any voice at all - but I would like to be represented and I do want fair.

The hubris of Sunshine Coast Council has now inflated itself to denigrating Local Government Minister David Crisafulli (NN, Aug 29) who has always made a point of listening to both sides and being fair.

I would like an intelligent solution to a reasonable point of concern and I am writing to Minister Crisafulli of the need for an unbiased approach that simply bypasses the unanimous “dog in the manger” pettiness of the Sunshine Coast Council. We do need a say on this matter. Our future lies with councillors living in the same environment, with shared values and common interests who can relate to local issues. If you want community, and a reasonable democratic ability to control your immediate environs - there is only one choice and that is for a boundary realignment and life in Noosa Shire.

Mike Gibson, Doonan.

Well read I FOUND the article in last week’s paper, written by Jonathon Howard interesting, though it could have gone a bit further. It is good to see that the issue is getting more attention recently, though somewhat ironic, as when the previous rate and supply charge increases went through basically no mention was made at all of the fixed-rate supply charge. The recent 66 per cent increase mentioned sure is a massive slug to consumers, though it pales in comparison to the previous increase (1 July 2013), which was almost 92 per cent!

When you put the compounded effect of those increases together, the daily supply charge has gone up by a stratospheric amount of well over 200 per cent (that is, it has more than tripled) since the end of June 2013. One can only question whether this is basically a money-grab on the part of the providers. (On 1 July 2013 the daily supply charge, GST inclusive, went from 28.787 cents to 55.231 cents and on 1 July 2014 up to 91.755 cents).

As was mentioned in the article, the less electricity a household uses, the greater the relative increase in the total bill due to these increased daily supply charges. Pity those households like ours, that use significantly less than Mr Andrews’ household does.

R. James, Noosa.

Park gets top five listing

1. Weyba Creek.

2. Mt Tinbeerwah.

Get away for a great stay TOURISM Noosa CEO Damien Massingham has revealed his top five Noosa activities to avoid the crowds this spring.

“Below is a list of just a few amazing spots to explore in the greater Noosa region,” he said.

THE Noosa National Park has been voted as one of the top five experiences in Queensland in the recently released seventh edition of Lonely Planet’s Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef guide.

The guide opens with a list of the state’s top 15 highlights and the Noosa National Park is listed in the top five.CEO of Tourism Noosa, Damien Massingham said the acknowledgment was a great win for one of Australia’s most popular national parks and reinforces Noosa’s position as a leading nature-based holiday destination.

“The Noosa National Park offers one of the most beautiful coastal scenic walks, along

Noosa National Park features spectacular coastal scenery and provides an important refuge for native wildlife including the koala, glossy blackcockatoo, ground parrot and wallum froglet. with a vast network of forest tracks which provide a natural habitat for some of Australia’s most treasured flora and fauna.

“Within walking distance of the renowned Hastings Street, the park is an accessible and distinctive part of Noosa’s rich conservation and surfing heritage. The famous

point breaks in the park are a key reason Noosa was also recently named Australia’s newest National Surfing Reserve”.

“Also in the top 15 list are nearby World Heritage listed Fraser Island and Lady Elliott Island, as well as whale watching from Hervey Bay, all of which can be explored from Noosa” Mr Massingham said.

3. Noosa River mouth.

1. Paddling on Weyba Creek. Enjoy the beautiful sunsets and lots of amazing wildlife around Lake Weyba.

2. Taking in the ocean and hinterland views from Mt Tinbeerwah before exploring the beautiful Noosa hinterland towns.

3. The river mouth - watching the sun set from here is beautiful.

4. The Noosa Everglades - this is a truly unique experience on Noosa’s doorsteps and is one of only two everglades in the world.

5. Taking a 4WD for a drive on the beach and enjoying some beach fishing on the Noosa North Shore.

“There are so many great things to see and do in Noosa,” Mr Massingham said.

“The www.visitnoosa.com.au website has plenty of other ideas about what to do in the region and visitors can also talk to one of the friendly team at the Visitor Information Centre, who can provide some great suggestions on things to do in the Noosa region.”

Big tourist wave forecast

By JOLENE OGLE SPRING has sprung and Tourism Noosa is predicting a strong tourism season for local operators and businesses.

The beginning of spring is marked Noosa-style with the launch of the Noosa Jazz Festival on 4 September, which Tourism Noosa general manager Damien Massingham predicts will bring thousands of visitors to the region for the four-day event.

“The forecast for the September school holidays is also looking strong with our Visitor Information Centre team members reporting bookings are looking healthy, with most properties around Hastings Street booked,” he said.

If you haven’t’ booked your holiday getaway yet, then don’t worry, there is still availability throughout Noosaville and Sunshine Beach.

Mr Massingham said the forecast good weather has tour operators, restaurants and accommodation providers looking forward to welcoming many visitors in what will be a great tourism season this September.

But it looks like visitors are already on their way to Noosa with many people from Brisbane, Melbourne, Toowoomba and surrounding areas making the most of a wet afternoon at Hastings Street, last weekend.

Ken King of Kangaroo Ground, Victoria, with Cinzia, 4, Matt, Alessandro, 6 weeks, and Lucia Cimino of Sunshine Beach make the most of an afternoon at Hastings Street.

Friends Caitlin Sanson of Toowoomba and Leise Woodall of Brisbane catch up at Hastings Street.

Forever home snapped up THE stunning 20 Mitti Street, Little Cove, has sold and the new owners look forward to making the impressive property their ‘forever home’.

Richardson and Wrench Noosa sales agent Cam Goode said the home was on the market for just six weeks before being snapped up by the Brisbane-based family.

“It’s great to see such a beautiful property go to such a wonderful buyer,” he said.

“I’m sure the home is in safe hands and with owners who will love the home as much as the vendors do.”

Cam said the new owners of the home were long-time holiday makers in Noosa and had always enjoyed a holiday home in Marcus Beach.

The new owners said they had been looking around for some time.

“Cam knew what we were looking for when he brought us this house we knew the search was over,” they said.

While we can’t reveal the sale price, we can tell you that the sale was close to the asking price of $2 million.

Cam said the quick sale was with thanks to a smart marketing campaign and private inspections.

“It certainly helps when the home is so amazing,” he said.

The Little Cove home has sold for close to the $2 million price tag. Inset: The new owners can’t wait to make this their ’forever home’.

Anne’s place in the sun for sale ANNE Marshall has a career in publishing that spans more than 40 years. She has worked for major publications including Cleo and New Idea, has written 22 cook books and edited a further 40.

Add to that impressive resume, six years as the owner of a private cookery school in Sydney, a swag of TV commercials and five test kitchens built and operated under Anne’s watchful eye.

Vendor Anne Marshall says the living space, with a flood of natural light and warm furnishings, is her favourite space in the home.

You can say Anne has enjoyed a bright career, but after living in the limelight of Sydney for more than 40 years, Anne said she wanted to retire somewhere warm, and in a home flooded with natural light.

“I wanted to chase the sun,” she said.

“I had always planned to chase the sun in retirement because I have always loved the sunny weather and I love the lifestyle up here. It’s such a beautiful place. We’re very lucky in Noosa. You go overseas and you look at the beaches and you think ‘we have just as good at home’,” she said.

After holidaying in Noosa for many years before her retirement, Anne knew apartment 11 of 2 Banksia Avenue, Noosa Heads, was where she wanted to come and enjoy bright, sunny days.

Apartment 11 was originally the show home for the small complex of townhouses.

Anne said the atrium style of the home, with unique windows set inside the home for maximum light and the large window in the living room, drew her to the apartment.

“I had seen (the apartment) when I was on holiday and just fell in love with it,” she said.

HOME SITE IN NOOSA

“It was the location and the northwesterly aspect that were very important to me, and I wanted to have a balcony.”

Now, 14 years on, Anne says her favourite spaces in the home are her bedroom where she wakes up to rays of sun filtering in and the living room where she can relax in the warmth of the sun that spills in through the large windows. As she talks of her home, it’s clear to see Anne has a deep love for the apartment.

1,280m2 HOME SITE IN HEART OF NOOSA NOOSA HEADS 5 (Lot 12) Banksia Avenue • Design and Build your dream home today • Exclusive residential enclave – no through road • No rear neighbours – land backs onto bushland • Motivated seller will consider offers prior to auction • Extremely rare opportunity to purchase extra large home site

Immaculately presented and wellmaintained, there is little to criticise in this home, except for perhaps the kitchen, which might seem a little small, but Anne says it’s never let her down.

“The kitchen works really well because everything is so close. My friends will say ‘oh, it’s a bit small’, but I’ve only been cooking for one or two since retirement and the odd family get-together or celebration,” she said.

“I would say, because I’m trained, I’m very organised. When you’re cooking in a TV studio, you’re lucky if you get a trestle table and a tap. I used to have a cooler box for my refrigerator and two buckets for my sink when I was doing TV commercials. It’s very primitive in some studios. When you have to work like that, you can work anywhere.”

Anne said the kitchen had worked hard for her, helping create delicious food to serve to dignitaries at art gallery openings, baking enviable Christmas treats for friends and family, as well as catering for Slow Food Noosa events.

With so much to love about this home, it’s a wonder Anne is selling the home that she loves so dearly with its large windows and flood of natural light.

But she said it was a “savvy time” to move on and looks forward to her new home at the Noosa Domain Retirement Village.

Donating clothes while spring cleaning SPRING has sprung and it’s time to shake off the winter blues with a good spring clean inside and out.

When it comes to cleaning out the wardrobe, the Red Cross are asking us to donate any good-quality summer clothes, Red Cross Shops general manager Kate Dear said the charity stores are calling for donations.

“If you have a bit of spare time this weekend, why not clean out your cupboards and give your long-forgotten summer frocks a new lease of life by taking them to a Red Cross Shop,” she said.

Wondering what to do with those longforgotten summer dresses? Donate them to the Red Cross.

“Don’t be shy. It’s simple to donate at a Red Cross Shop. Just walk in and hand your items across the counter or place them in

the Donate Now box at the entrance of each store.”

Kate has shared some of her handy spring cleaning tips: 1. Wait for a warm, sunny day then throw open the windows and let in some fresh air. Asthma research shows there are more airborne pollutants inside our homes than out. While they’re open, give the windows and sills a quick wash and clean the insect screens.

2. Sweep and scrub the floors‚ clean or replace floor mats and vacuum under the beds. A cheap and simple way to freshen up a mattress is to simply sprinkle on a little baking soda, wait a few minutes and then vacuum it up.

3. Clean the bedding according to the

washing instructions, replace all the pillows and air out your mattress.

4. Wash and sanitise kitchen cutting boards, clean and organise food cupboards, check food and medicine expiry dates, clean the oven, microwave and stove top, clean and descale the kettle by boiling up a little vinegar and water, and don’t forget to unplug the toaster before you shake out the crumbs.

5. Finally, go through each of your drawers and wardrobes and take everything out, wipe down all the surfaces and then neatly place back all the items you think you will need. Donate the rest to a Red Cross Shop.

Golden memories of days gone by

By JOLENE OGLE BEHIND the unassuming exterior of the Tewantin CWA hall, a large group of descendants from the original pioneering families of the shire met for lunch last Wednesday to share fond memories of a much less complicated era.

Fourth-generation fisherman and long-time local Trevor Clarey said the people gathered in the room were the pillars of the Noosa and Tewantin regions.

“Forget the council and greenie groups, these are the people who have done the hard work,” he said.

The annual reunion lunch, organised by the Tewantin Heritage and Historical Society, brings together the families and descendants of families who have played a major role in creating the Noosa and Tewantin so many enjoy today.

The reunion lunch was hosted by George Pearce, local historian, Information Hut volunteer and long-time resident of Tewantin, who first visited the region on a family holiday in 1938 at age six.

Mr Pearce and his family moved to the area permanently in 1942, where he also met his wife and raised his family.

Mr Pearce recalled idyllic memories of a childhood spent fishing on the Noosa River and exploring the river that has helped make Noosa such a sought-after holiday destination.

“Noosa was far cooler back then,” he said.

“There was freedom on the water, fewer boats, no houseboats and lots of fish.”

Mr Pearce said, of his wonderful memories, his favourite would have to be fishing in the afternoon and then sharing the family’s catch with the whole street.

“Mind you, there were only eight houses on Hilton Terrace at that point,” he said.

Among the lunch guests was Marion Dunstan, the great-granddaughter of William Wallace, who recalls many happy memories growing up in the home that is now called Wallace House.

Now used by the Noosa Arts and Craft Group and community, Ms Dunstan recalls always having to use the back entrance to the home.

“We always used the back stairs,” she said.

“Because a fierce Siamese cat guarded the front steps.”

As memories were shared it was easy to see the connection enjoyed by the families, some of whom have spent more than 70 years in the local area.

Long-time local activist and former Noosa councillor Olive Donaldson said she was in hospital at age 13 having her tonsils removed the same day fellow lunch guest, Ben Johns, was born.

Mr Johns said 13 years later he was back in the same hospital to have his tonsils removed.

Mr Johns has lived in Tewantin for 76 years, and he and his wife Pat still live in the Johns family home, nestled on the banks of the river.

live today NOOSA’S LIFESTYLE GUIDE

Club aims to jazz it up THE free, family-friendly Jazz concert is back in Webb Park thanks to the Noosa Heads Jazz Club.

The community concert is part of the Noosa Jazz Festival, which runs from 4 September to 7 September throughout the Noosa region, and is the perfect way to celebrate the annual event.

Noosa Jazz Club president Richard Stevens said the free concerts used to be included in the line-up every year, except for last year.

“When the late Frank Johnson and I started the Noosa Jazz Party in 1992 the Free Jazz Concert in the park was an integral part of the weekend,” he said.

“With the return of the concert, we are responding to local and visitors’ desire to restore this tradition.”

The concert will feature trumpet player Bob Barnard along with Geoff Bull, Peter Gaudion, Shuffle Club and other internationally acclaimed musicians.

The Family Jazz Concert will be held in Webb Park, Sunshine Beach, from 2.30pm to 4.30pm.

Other free, family-friendly events in Sunshine Beach include live music in the Sunshine Beach village tomorrow at 10.30am and then an afternoon session at the Sunshine Beach Surf Club.

In all, over the four-day event, the Noosa Jazz festival presents over 40 hours of world-class jazz throughout Noosa.

Libby’s ride to remember Life of

brine PHIL JARRATT

REGULAR readers of this column (hello, both of you!) will recall that the remarkable Libby Day and I have conspired in the past to alert people to the insidious disease that stalks us all, dementia. Both Libby and I have hands-on experience in this with our beloved parents, and I find her commitment to creating awareness of this horrible plight of the elderly totally inspiring.

Molly’s Song is a lovely charity in honour of Libby’s mum. One day soon Margie’s Last Laugh might join it in honour of my mum. But in the meantime, Libby Day carries the flag locally for dementia research, and to this end she is riding a pushie from Melbourne to Canberra from 14 September. It’s called “A Ride To Remember”, and if you, like me, are reaching the stage where you can’t remember a frickin’ thing, support this before you forget.

It’s an 800 kilometre journey and it’ll be as cold as a witch’s teat, even in September, so dig deep, Tom, Peter, Jen, and all the rest of you who keep telling us that we’re in financial recovery and everything is rosy. Lead from the front, realtors! Give Libby a hand. Contact her on mollys.song@gmail.com.

Harry’s shoulder Most of you will identify Harrison Roach as potentially the world’s most elegant traditional longboarder. Certainly, that would be my take, after the Noosa local having taken out just about every major logger event in the world these past few years.

But Harrison is much more than that. He is at the forefront of a group of Noosa longboarders, that includes Matt Cuddihy and Zye

Harrison Roach on board.

Norris, who in the past couple of years have been given the opportunity through the Deus Ex Machina company to expand their horizons in Indonesia and become reef wave chargers.

I’ve been fortunate to hang out with all of these young guys in Bali while they experiment with riding all kinds of boards in all kinds of conditions, and it’s quite remarkable to see how quickly they adapt.

Unfortunately, however, when you take it to the edge of the envelope, sometimes you suffer the consequences. In this extraordinary season of swell around the world, Harrison came to grief at a remote Spice Islands reef break in the same week that another young Australian surfer lost his life. Harrison merely dislocated his shoulder, but it’s a nasty one, and he needs to be careful, which he is not, having a paddle one-handed last week when the swell started to drop at First Point. He’s technically a month or so out of the water, but was amused when the doc told him: “You’re not going to like what

I’m telling you, but if you insist on surfing in the next couple of months, you should only ride a longboard.” Damn!

Former world champion Josh Constable told me recently: “Harry is mad. He’ll take off on anything.” Since really getting shaken up two weeks ago, maybe he’ll back off, but I doubt it. Chargers charge, end of story. He’s also a gentleman, so this column wishes him a speedy recovery.

Global swell extravaganza There’s never been a week like it. If you don’t keep track of worldwide ocean movements (and I spend far too much time on the WAMS every day) you may not be aware that last week was possibly the best week for surf on a global scale in history.

It started with the Billabong Pro in Teahupoo, I’m calling the most exciting world tour event ever, middled out with some great waves on our points and sensational barrels at Snapper and Kirra, then segued into all-time First

Here we go again Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but I need to go away and regroup, so this column will be coming to you from a pleasant perch in the Spice Islands for the next few weeks. During this time I’ll be launching my new book, Bali Heaven and Hell, at the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival, and producing a mini doco with Panga Productions of Tewantin. If you’re a Bali freak, don’t miss our local launch at Zachary’s Peregian, 15 October, tickets from Annie’s Books, doco, slide show, blah blah and pizza. What a night.

Noosa’s rockin’ lifestyle

JOLENE OGLE

GET ready to rock next weekend when Noosa’s first major music festival arrives at the Weyba Road AFL grounds.

The Originals Music Festival will feature a mixture of local and national talent, sharing two stages over one big day of fun and excitement on 13 September.

Event organiser Marcus Pluckhahn of East Coast Originals said the festival was both an event for the community and a fundraiser for the monthly Peregian Originals and Cooroy Originals.

Marcus said he had been able to organise the festival with the help of Mark Pico from the Big Pineapple Festival and Golden Days Festival.

“While the Peregian Originals has been running for over 14 years providing the musical backbone to the northern end of the Sunshine Coast, the idea of running a major music festival is a whole different story,” Marcus said.

“The Originals Music Festival has been born out of necessity as the costs associated with running Peregian Originals began to outweigh the donations and sponsorship that it takes to run the event each month.”

Mark said he was able to help Marcus through his industry contacts and festival know-how.

“I was able to call on a lot of friendships in the industry to bring together an amazing line-up full of some of the hottest bands in the country at the moment,” he said.

Mark said it was a great sur-

prise to see festival headliners Sticky Fingers’ new album debut at number three on the Aria Charts last week, along with Kingswood, who will also play on the day, and whose album debuted at number six this week.

“That’s the equivalent to picking the first four in the Melbourne Cup for a small festival,” Mark said.

“It just doesn’t normally happen like that.”

Kingswood and Sticky Fingers will be joined by Ash Grunwald playing with Scotty and Andy from The Living End, Bonjah, OKA, The Delta Riggs, Soula, In2Nation and a stack more locally grown acts.

Marcus said festival goers were in for a treat and with tickets only $40 for an adult, anyone could get along to Noosa’s first major music festival.

“We’ve kept tickets as cheap as possible and being a familyfriendly event, we have really tried to cater for kids as well by giving them their own separate kids stage full of school bands and the coast’s best young performers,” he said.

Marcus said ticket sales were going great with the show looking to be a sell-out.

“Interestingly, more than 40 per cent of ticket sales had come from outside the Sunshine Coast with festival goers coming from as far as West Australia and Cairns,” he said.

OVER 100 art lovers filled Noosa Council’s Noosa Regional Gallery last Friday night to hear the first ever Noosa Art Award winners announced.

Hosted by Cr Tony Wellington, the Noosa Art Award top prize was presented to Brisbane artist Simone Eilser who took out the $7000 open category prize with her work Serpentine III. Simone said the opportunity to enter the award felt like a natural fit for her practice and personal history in this region.

“My work has always dealt with the natural environment and the hybridity in the evolutionary cycle caused by ever increasing impingement of the urban," Simone said.

"With my father being a vet and breeding cattle in Kin Kin and my many growing years spent exploring the farm and the marvels of nature, l have a deep respect for this region. I have had many shows here in Australia and in Europe but to receive this award is a very special recognition of my practice".

Simone’s work now becomes part of Noosa Council’s Corporate Art Collection, adding to the already impressive collection that is shown regularly at the gallery.

Other winners include Nicholas Hew who won the 2D Regional Category award with his painting Glass Houses, and local artist Valerie Willy who took out the 3D Regional Category award with her work Recollection of a Noosa River Dredge.

Open category winner Simone Eisler and Cr Tony Wellington who hosted the award evening last Friday night. (Inset) From left: regional 3D winner Valerie Willy, Noosa Regional Gallery director Nina Shadforth, open category winner Simone Eisler and regional 2D winner Nicholas Hew. It seems the judges were impressed with the high calibre of works submitted, awarding highly commended prizes to Nicola Moss, Thom Stuart, Carley Cornelisson, Damien O’Mara, Stella Stevenson, Glenis Gray, Carol

Forster, and Rose Barry.

Visitors to the exhibition can participate and vote for their favourite artist in the People’s Choice Award and go in the draw to win a $50 voucher for the Noosa Regional Gallery shop.

The winner of the $1000 People’s Choice Award, sponsored by the Friends of Noosa Regional Gallery, will be announced 26 September, at 11.30am. The Noosa Art Award finalists exhibition continues until 5 October.

Book in for a fine drop WINEMAKER Mark Conroy is on his way to Noosa from Pirramimma Wines in the McLaren Vale, South Australia, to showcase his awardwinning vino.

The Pirramimma vineyard was founded in 1892 and has been owned and operated by the Johnston family ever since.

The vineyards growing in this beautiful part of the world have consistently performed

well, creating wines that bring in a swag of awards and producing a series of varieties including chardonnay, shiraz, Grenache and petit verdot.

Sirocco, Noosaville, will host Mark for two wine events this month. If you’re not already a wine enthusiast, you will be after an evening of great food perfectly paired with stunning wines.

The first event is a four-

course dinner matched with Pirramimma Wines on 11 September. The dinner will be hosted by Mark and is only $95 per person and includes wine.

On 13 September, Sirocco will host a three-course lunch for only $65 per person; the perfect excuse to indulge in a long, lazy lunch.

Sirocco is best known for its Mediterranean-inspired menu and is named after the dry, hot

winds that travel to Europe from the Sahara.

While hot, the food is certainly not dry, with morish Hervey Bay scallops or Moroccan lamb meatballs a must try when dining at Sirocco.

Reservations are essential for the two wine events so phone 5455 6688 to book a table.

Sirocco is located at 257 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville.

NOOSAFOOD

Giving body a spring clean IF YOU’RE feeling perpetually tired, sluggish or just not on your game, then it’s time to spring clean your body.

Noosa Cleanse is designed to give your insides a rest from breaking down heavily processed, difficult to digest and nutritionally-blank foods, foods that still need to be broken

down by the body but contain little nutritional value.

Giving your digestive system a rest gives your body a chance to work on clearing out some of the toxicity that has built up.

Noosa Cleanse has two arms which provide different healing options for you: antioxidant dense,

nutrient rich and enzyme laden certified organic Coldpress juices from Noosa Coldpress and Restorative broths from Heal My Gut that work on restoring and healing the gut lining as well as boosting the immune system.

Everything supplied in a Noosa Cleanse has been chosen to rebuild

and restore the body. Normalising the digestion improves the body’s ability to absorb vitamins and nutrients from the food you feed it. Certified organic coldpress juice cleanses (Noosa Coldpress) and certified organic broth cleanses (Heal My Gut) are available as one, two or three day packages.

Both of these Noosa Cleanse packages can be ordered online at www.noosacleanse.com.au. These cleanse packages are then available for pick up at Belmondos Organic Market in Rene Street, Noosaville on a Monday or Friday or delivered to your home. (Noosa Cleanse also delivers to the rest of the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane).

Favourite spring dishes SPRING is here and it’s the perfect time to start entertaining friends with light spring dishes that will impress your guests. We’ve picked our favourite spring dishes to share with you.

No one likes doing the dishes. That’s why we love this One-Pan Salmon dish:

Ingredients: 400g potatoes, chopped roughly 2 tbsp olive oil 1 large zucchini, chopped roughly 8-10 asparagus spears, trimmed and halved 2 handfuls cherry tomatoes, whole 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 2 salmon fillets, about 140g each Basil leaves

Method: 1. Heat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius. Put the potatoes and half the olive oil into an overproof dish and roast for 20 minutes.

2. Toss the asparagus and zucchini in with the potatoes after they start to brown a little. Return to the oven for a further 15 minutes.

3. Add the cherry tomatoes and vinegar then nestle the salmon among the vegetables.

Drizzle with the remaining oil and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked.

4. When salmon is cooked, take from the oven and sprinkle with basil leaves and serve your guests straight from the dish.

Serve with cous cous and fresh green salad.

Strawberries are soon in season so try something sweet for dessert. We love this simple strawberry and vanilla custard slice.

15-18 strawberries, washed, hulled and thinly sliced, Icing sugar to dust

Ingredients: 1 sheet of frozen ready-rolled puff pastry, just thawed 2 tbsp strawberry jam 160ml vanilla custard

1. Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

2. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking

the pastry pieces in half long-ways.

4. Spread the cut side of half the pastry pieces with jam and custard. Top with strawberries and the remaining pastry pieces. Dust with icing sugar and serve your impressed guests immediately.

Method:

paper. Cut the pastry into four even squares and then cut again to make 8 rectangles.

Place the pastry pieces on the lined baking tray. Use a fork to prick the pastry all over and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

3. Set aside pastry to cool for 10 minutes.

Once cool, use a large serrated knife to split

Tips to reduce stroke risks THE Stroke Foundation is urging local community groups and individuals to be healthy, be aware, be your best and challenge stroke this September.

National Stroke Foundation QLD executive officer Libby Dunstan is calling on members of the local community to join the challenge this National Stroke Week by taking action to reduce their stroke risk, learn more about stroke and help raise awareness in the community.

The foundation is calling on community members to set a challenge this National Stroke Week: reduce your stroke risk by quitting smoking, help raise stroke awareness by hosting an information session at your local community group, visit your doctor or local pharmacy for a health check, or host a fund-raiser for the National Stroke Foundation.

“Stroke touches all of our lives in some way, whether it is personally, through a family member, a friend or colleague. The recent Stroke in Australia report demonstrated that no postcode is untouched by this disease; it is impacting our families and communities,” Ms Dunstan said.

“However, many strokes can be prevented. We can come together and take action to stop stroke and challenge its impact on the community.”

More than 4000 Challenge Stroke activities are expected to be held across the country this September as part of National Stroke Week, 8 - 14 September.

To find activities in your local area visit www.strokefoundation.com.au or phone 1300 194 196.

TIPS TO HELP DECREASE STROKE RISK: Get active Cut down on sugary drinks Increase water intake Quit smoking Cut down alcohol Visit your doctor for a health check

Cab service for seniors a winner MANY Noosa seniors may not have heard about the Council Cabs service, which is an affordable transport service for people aged 60 and over.

The transport is $2 one way and is available to people with a disability, including people with a mobility impairment (DSP concession card holders), carers and minors of eligible people accompanying them (carers card or companion card holders).

Unique feel in Tewantin despite the bustling business centre.

The existence of iconic buildings such as the information centre, located on Poinciana Avenue, is a reminder of the town’s humble beginnings.

The one room miners hut was transported from the Gympie goldfields by bullock dray in 1921, to sit where the Tewantin Noosa RSL carpark is now.

The building served as both a cobbler’s store and a guest house until it was donated to the town in 2001 and moved to its current location.

The building is now an information centre and is manned by skilled and knowledgeable locals who offer a one-stop-shop for travel information.

Tewantin also holds a deep connection with current and exservicemen.

The Tewantin Noosa RSL dominates Memorial Avenue and a large monument serves as a reminder of the men and women who have served this country.

Further down the road, the Noosa Marina offers unique dining experiences and is the terminal for the ferry; a great way to explore the beautiful Noosa River.

Doctors of Tewantin offer an unique outdoor waiting room where patients can enjoy fresh breezes.

Family medicine is the focus DOCTORS of Tewantin is a four-doctor, privately-owned, accredited General Practice in Tewantin, focused on providing high quality comprehensive family medicine.

Dr Chandran Ramaswamy has been practising in Tewantin since 1997 and Drs Ken Corbett, Catriona Caddell and Lucy Robson have been in Noosa/Cooroy, and now Tewantin, for the past 11 years.

Doctors of Tewantin relocated to

their new premises in Doonella Street, Tewantin, in December 2013.

They are now pleased to offer comfortable, modern rooms with an extremely well-equipped treatment room and a unique outside waiting room built under an old mango tree where you can enjoy up-to-date magazines while sitting in the fresh air.

Dr Ken Corbett has a special interest in skin cancer and is in the process of completing the Diploma in Skin Cancer Medicine. Dr Caddell,

Dr Robson and Dr Corbett have all completed a Diploma in Children’s Health.

The staff and doctors at Doctors of Tewantin are all passionate about providing exceptional health care in a friendly, personalised environment.

From the moment you walk through the door, you will experience a friendly, welcoming atmosphere created by a team of receptionists, nurses and doctors who simply care deeply about the service that they provide.

THERE is something quite magical about the riverside town of Tewantin.

Located just 10km west of Noosa Heads, Tewantin is a bustling business centre which is the proud home of the new Noosa Shire Council.

The many beautifully landscaped parks and streets, lined with large Poinciana trees, make Tewantin a beautiful place for a family holiday or a relaxing day out.

Located throughout the town, you can also find historical buildings and sites which tell the story of a humble settlement and gives the town a unique atmosphere.

In the 1860s, European settlers arrived in the area originally inhabited by the Gubbi Gubbi/ Kabi Kabi people.

Tewantin soon began to grow with the movement of people and goods between Brisbane and Gympie with most historical buildings, such as the police station and Royal Mail Hotel, dating back to the early 1880s.

Traveller numbers fell when the railway opened in 1981, but by then holiday-makers had discovered Tewantin’s appeal.

Today, Tewantin still holds all the charm of a small settlement,

Skin cancers: proper treatment SKIN Medical Clinic, Tewantin, manager Max Wilkins talks about spotting sinister spots.

“At the shops the other day a woman showed me a hole in her hand, to the bone, that she had burnt there by using a banned salve preparation.

She said she thought it was a warty skin cancer.

People do make the salve claim that it dissolves skin cancers, roots and all. The Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration, however, warns against people using the preparation.

One demonstration of the damage the salve can cause is demonstrated by typing the words ‘black salve’ into the google search engine

and you will see some horror photos of people who have used the preparation.

Skin cancer doctors advise people to make sure they know what their spot or lump is before you seek treatments for them, be they alternative or mainstream.

Although some spots are in their infancy, like this stage one melanoma, pictured, your skin cancer doctor has the experience and the right equipment to see these on your skin.

So it is important to get your skin checked by a qualified skin cancer doctor, who can tell you exactly what all of those spots may be and the best way to treat them. Because all spots, cancerous or otherwise, have different ways of being treated.”

James and Helena of Tewantin Skin Medical.

Stage One melanoma.

Courts of hits and memories

However, we will be back on our feet again this Saturday with a second chance still to make it to the grand final.

The team has worked so hard this season with some new players making strong improvements over the year and we are so pleased to have made it to the finals in our first year of competitive soccer.

UNDER 6 REDS

As the curtains came down on a very enjoyable season, the Caloundra boys proved able opponents for the Noosa Reds. Conor crashed and Darcy dashed, Zac smashed and Harry bashed, Angus’ attack was stirling and Stirling’s defence was angry, Noah knows how and Manu manufactured magnificent mileage.

Charlie chose to charge as Jax jinked and jived. Jaxon’s drives were missed. Thanks for a great season boys.

Under-6 Reds 40 drew Caloundra 40.

Giving their all on field Greg Beak and Scott Derham are the B Grade men’s doubles champions.

courage, discipline, fair play and mateship. To take you back, Grammar just scored, 45 seconds to go, kick to us, boys tired, no-one on the bench, Finnbar gathers and bolts forward, tackled, Mack rips and goes forward, tackled, Will and Remy over to secure, Atticus flies in, swoops up ball goes forward, tackled. Byron hunting, still catching his breath from saving 1000 tries by sprinting tackles, stand in Angus gets away, tackled, superbly backed up Joch flies in with the try line in site, boom-tackled, played back, ball’s loose, then in comes Will going forward gathers and scores. You beauty, the Reds crowd goes wild, the team embraces, fist punching coaches and the whistle blows for full time. Wow! what a season.

Under-8 Reds 35 d Grammar 20.

UNDER 6 FINS

UNDER 9 REDS

Myles took full advantage of the opposition’s momentary lapse of concentration scoring the first try and a second in the closing stages. Gus continued to amaze with his agility and ability with ball in hand, putting down a fabulous three tries and Rory’s obvious talent was again on show with several fantastic catches under the high ball and a well-deserved try late in the first half. George, while defending the Fins’ line with his usual ferocious tenacity, managed a late try in the second half.

Brendan made his usual valuable contribution with several forays into opposition territory admirably backed up

by Julian, Jackson and Tana.

What a machine-like performance we saw from the boys. We had wizards both on and off the field and the magic was shared among the team with seven different try scorers. Jackson with a hattrick, doubles to Andrew, Kye, Fynn and Hunter and one to Fletcher. The season closes on an extreme high and we look forward to seeing each and every one of the boys back next year. Congratulations to Peter O’Rielly and Fabio Westphal on a great year.

Under-9 Reds 65 d MFAC 10.

UNDER 8 REDS

This my friends is what it’s all about, in the last second of game time in the season, in the last game of the season, Will scores his first try of the season! This try and how it came about encompassed all that the coaching staff wanted to achieve this season.

Persistence, team work, knowledge,

Front: Cassady Hillegers, James Zigliotto, Dmitri Hagicostas, Ben Francis and Joshua Poulton.

Absent: Jett McQueen.

UNDER 9 FINS

An outstanding team effort resulted in nine different try scorers in a scintillating display of running rugby. Both Flynn and Tom scored hat-tricks with Fynn and Mack getting doubles and one each to Joey, Leif, Max, Oliver and Kye. The future looks very bright for this squad of under-9s, and all the parents and the boys would like to thank coaches Peter O’Rielly and Fabio Westphal for their tireless efforts this year.

Under-9 Fins 75 d Maroochydore 20.

UNDER 10 REDS

The Reds finished the season well with a determined and well-deserved win.

Tries were scored by Max Ruster 3, Sabyr Kime 2, Jess Robson and William Batty.

Conversion by Flynn O’Connor.

Under-10 Reds 37 d Brothers 5.

UNDER 10 FINS

The Fins finished the season in style with a convincing win against Grammar.

Openings for all four tries came as a result of neat team phases and indefatigable forward drives from Joe S., Joe R., Lauchie C., Ashton, Soren and Jason. Roko, Oliver and Josh displayed skill, speed and intelligence in the backs, while Harry, James and Ethan made crucial tackles throughout the match. As ever, Jarrah and Lockie were both sublime in ensuring all the teamwork paid off on the scoresheet. Thanks to all under-10 Fins for making this such an entertaining and satisfying season. See you next year.

Try Scorers: Lockie Dudgeon 3, Jarrah Charlesworth. Conversions: Jarrah 3, Lockie.

Under-10 Fins 28 d Grammar 14.

UNDER 13

In a display of faultless rugby, the under-13s secured the minor premiership with a resounding win over the mighty Maroochydore under-13 Swans. The spoils of the game were shared around the team. Tries to Tom Payne, Koen Clark, Harry Barnett, Luke Bourne and Tavita Roma were made possible by the player-of-the-match performance from Tom McNamara. Tom was unstoppable.

Tom Payne’s radar was well tuned adding three conversions. The game was played at a fierce pace with ample aggression from both sides. Jack Frey consistently exhibits the values of rugby with his tough-but-fair approach to the game.

Jack was a worthy recipient of the spirit of rugby award this week. Now for the finals! Under-13 36 d Maroochydore 0.

By JODIE BUSHBY SEMI FINALS

U12A: UNDER-12A Gold played their semi-final against Kawana White at Kawana. The loser of this game would see an end to their season. The boys were full of nerves and excitement which even saw P.J. Hill vomiting before kick off. Final score 26-4. Overall, it was a total domination by the boys.

U13A: It was Noosa 4 versus Bribie 10 in what has been a big week for the Pirates under-13As. Sadly their late season run came to an end going down to Bribie.

U13C: First loss of the season, and it could have been a whitewash had the boys not come out in the second half firing. From the very start it was a tough game. The team has another chance next weekend - it’s time to train hard.

GRAND FINAL

U11 Blue: Under-11 Blue came away with a 20-6 win. The boys came out firing after the break leading 8-6 to pull away and kept Beerwah scoreless in the second half. Awesome effort all round and man-of-the-match went to Liam Fox for bagging a double in his first grand final.

The Noosa Pirates U11 Blue team came out victorious for the season.

Budding cricketers pad up THE coming of spring means warm days, barbecues and the all-important return of the Australian cricket season.

The Tewantin Noosa junior cricket team are getting ready for a new season with help from the local Tewantin Noosa RSL, who have announced another year of sponsorship for the team.

RSL spokesman Dean Harlow said the club was pleased to be on board again to help the young crickets hit for six.

“The club is pleased to come on board again with the Tewantin Noosa Cricket Club which continues to play an important role in fostering junior players in the local area and serves as a breeding ground for cricketers of the future,” he said.

Tewantin Noosa Cricket Club representative Christopher Bennett said the club appreciated the support from local organisations such as the RSL. “Their generous sponsorship allows us to

The new jersey’s proudly sponsored by Tewantin Noosa RSL. keep our junior gear up to date and helps make cricket an affordable sport for local families,” he said.

Junior training has commenced on Wednesday afternoons at 4pm and players who have not yet had the

opportunity to sign on can do so during the training sessions. New players are welcome, regardless of experience.

The club is hoping that the recent wet weather is over so that the club’s new ground can be ready in time for the start of the season.

SAILOR 1152343-HM36-14

WHILE last week saw the last game of the year with the final round for younger age groups for this year, the Dolphins will be proudly represented in semi-finals in all age groups from under-12s through to under-18s this weekend.

NOOSA Eagles under-11s faced a tough battle on Saturday against the premiers of the season, Buderim Sharks.

Unfortunately, with three players off sick and three on the field sick it was a loss of 8-0.

Eagles make finals run

Just smashing times

By BRUCE BLAKEMORE SPRING four-person table tennis challenge, round 2 Barracudas (R. Wheller, J. Brown, J. Campbell, S. Lidden ) d Piranhas (A. Munro, M. Clarke, S. Campbell, J. Mikkelson ) 9/6. Jordan once again left a trail of victims, at times doing it with ease.

Raptors (K. McDonald, C. Barry, C.

Galea, M. Duncan) d Mantis (B. Brown, O. Estraviz, L. Gore, W. Byrne ) 10/5. We witnessed a classic duel between the club’s heavyweights, Bill and Kye, with Bill only scraping in 15/13 in the fifth set. Also with Craig’s return to form the Raptors look a certainty to be grand final contenders.

Gators (R. Gore, J. Murphy, B. Muller, R. Yao ) d Marlins (S. Ciercan, S. Gardner, P. Clive, R. Byrne ) 8/7. Three five set losses in a row robbed the Marlins of

a win here and a somewhat surprised Gators gratefully accepted a much needed boost.

Competition night is Wednesday from 7pm, and we also have a practise session on Monday nights from 7.15pm. Social groups meet three afternoons a week. All sessions are held at the Bicentennial Centre, Sunshine Beach.

Soccer girls through to Grand Final

By KRISTY PATTEN

midfield gained possession whenever the ball was near.

Deep into the first half Ursula Hughson won a free kick on the edge of the box - lifting it over the wall, off the crossbar and bouncing over the line. At this point confusion set in because the linesman flagged offside, only to then tell the ref it was a goal making it 2-1 Noosa.

Ursula was then played down the left wing, as she cut the defence open, and drew yet another foul from the same player, on the edge of the box.

No confusion with this effort, curling it into the near post top corner making it 3-1 to Noosa. The Buderim team was shocked, as their football could no longer do any talking.

Coastal women’s Gold: SEMI FINAL After taking out the league by a whopping nine points the Noosa girls went to a very sandy NYU (yes they flooded the pitch with sand) to take on fierce title rivals, Buderim.

From the kick off, Buderim had one thing in mind, to play a physical and rough game.

But the girls settled into the game quickly and with their second attack, won a corner, in which Lorinda Dion got through nutmeg the keeper making the score Noosa 1-0.

However shortly after, Buderim got back into the game making it one all.

The Noosa girls rallied, and with their crafty captain Rebecca Whisker ruling the

Before half time, a brilliantly placed ball sent Ursula through holding off two defenders to slide home a fourth, her hat trick gave Noosa a 4-1 half time lead.

The second half brought no goals, but the effort to preserve the lead was colossal.

The Noosa girls had decided at half time - do not concede. From this point Buderim’s play style one could only describe as hopeful, resulting in Noosa getting a lot of goal kicks simply because Buderim’s through balls were to no one.

An impressive 4-1 was the final score and the Noosa White girls are through to the Grand Final in two weeks’ time.

Head on down to NYU to see if the Noosa girls can lift the championship.

The Noosa women’s soccer team are in to the finals.

Tigers outclassed by the undefeated Mayne Tiger

talk JULIAN PITTS

The Fiona Winter / PJ Burns Noosa Tigers came down to earth with an awful thud last Saturday after being humbled to the tune of 58 points in the second semi-final against Mayne.

The undefeated premiership favourites simply looked more fresh and slick with their ball handling for the Noosa boys, who really did look flat after three weeks of pulling their feet out of the mud.

All of Mayne’s big guns played significant roles in the comprehensive win, while the

RICHARD MURRIHY

In perfect conditions at Maroochydore, the Noosa U16s took on Kawana in the grand final in what promised to be a cracker of a match.

The first quarter saw the ball going from end to end with both teams wasteful and the scores locked at quarter time Noosa 2 4 16 - Kawana 2 5 17.

Kedron earned their right local Tigers struggled right to the grand final play off with across the board.

Assistant coach Brad Cross a hard fought victory over Maroochydore in last week’s first said it was disappointing. semi-final.

Some against what I’d expect would selfishness crept in and so did be a very strong Maroochy outfit some pretty ordinary discipline (now their seniors are out) this which wasn’t good to see,” he Saturday from 11.30am. said.

Noosa had the advantage of the breeze in the second quarter and used it better than their rivals.

Rhys got it rolling with a goal, followed by Reed and Ben B. Kawana answered with one of their own but Noosa got the next two through Sheldon and Corey, while Kawana got their second.

Tristian then popped up to kick the team’s sixth goal.

Kawana had three goals into the wind but Noosa had used it well with six goals to two. Noosa led 54 to 35 at half time.

The third quarter saw Kawana go bang with an early goal. Noosa hit back with two goals in a row and Kawana hit back again with four goals in five minutes.

Then the gates opened and Noosa had control with good use of the ball. They put nine goals straight through for the quarter to Kawana’s four goals. At three quarter time Noosa led 17 goals 6 to 9 goals 5.

The fourth quarter saw Kawana again get the first goal and Noosa respond. The sting had gone

four of Noosa’s eight goals in what can only be described as a lone hand.

Not all doom and gloom at Tigerland however, as we get another chance this week against a side we have played extremely well against the past couple of times in Kedron.

James Gellie’s boys are a proud bunch and I’m sure they will be giving it everything they have to get another crack at the undefeated Mayne.

My AFL finals winners this week Hawthorn, Sydney, North Melbourne and Port Adelaide.

See you down at Caboolture.

Go tigers Pittsy out of the game and the speed of the third quarter took effect. Noosa Kicked 2 goals 5 to Kawana 2 goals 2 to run out victors and become premiers with a final score of 19 goals 11 points, 125 to 11 goals 7 points, 73.

The whole team take out Best Players and goal kickers, well there were lots. We must mention that this team was worked close as a unit that even boys who missed out turned up and ran the water.

SPORTTODAY COOROY BOWLS SPRING has sprung and the evenings are getting milder. Night bowls start this week with the Business Bowlers having a sign-on evening on Wednesday night. The High Rollers Challenge season two commences on Thursday night.

Some 14 teams have nominated so there will be some very challenging games ... making a fine competition.

Monday saw 56 players in the RSL challenge enjoy the greens and camaraderie of this close group.

The afternoon tea created in the new kitchen by chef Lex was a great hit. The club is almost ready for public patronage.

The winners of the Tuesday Jackpot Pairs last week were Ann Lerch and Colin Gilmour. Terence Charles and Sandra French were runners-up. The jackpot was won so the pot will start to fill again.

A small group of players enjoyed the beautiful weather on Saturday afternoon. Kennedy McGrath and Margaret Dawson went home the winners but much fun and laughter was had by all.

The Ausroads sponsored Triples game on Thursday saw J. Farr, J. Davies and G. Rohde win two fantastic games, but they did not have the luck to have their card drawn out the hat for the prizemoney. The money went to J. Jones, A. Jones and S. Chandler and J. Muir, C. Greig and K. Muir.

Twilight bowls, held every Friday, starting at 3.30pm or 4pm depending on the season, is a club selected pairs competition. This is being very well supported with a full green most Fridays. The club welcomes all players, new or experienced to join in the fun. The winners this week were C. Dewhirst and J. Price with runner-up B. Williams and R. Roebuck.

A fund-raiser for multiple sclerosis was held on Sunday, breakfast, barefoot bowls and lots of fun. B. Dewhirst and R. Goulding took home first prize with runner-up F. Dewhirst, M. Roo and R. Roebuck.

Noosa’s Division 1 side had a solid 67-51 points win over visitors Pelican Waters on Saturday afternoon.

But, on Sunday, they couldn’t match it with Caloundra, going down on two rinks. Division 3 were at home to Coolum Beach on Saturday, only gaining one point from that encounter, and the sixes had no joy at Kawana.

In a stirring finish last Friday, Bill and Jan Burkitt came from well back to just win over Garyth Williams and Sharyn Briggs in a semi-final of the club mixed-pairs. The final is due to be played this coming Sunday.

Tuesday men’s pairs last week was won by Ian Sanday and Neil Walsh with the next highest

margin being scored by Ralphe Rickman and Peter Hallman, whose opponents went home happiest of all, taking the big jackpot with their score of 13 the number to come out of the machine. Lucky for some! No names, no begging letters.

Holidaying New Zealanders topped the winners’ list in Friday’s Open Jackpot Pairs when Noel Williams teamed with David Nicholl to take top prize, and John Carthy joined our Debbie Austin for runners-up.

Saturday triples winners were Richard Foulds, Struan Ball and Alex Brough. The pairs section was won by Juleen Mayze and Nita Sondergeld.

Kids make a big splash YOUNG swimmers made a big splash at the Noosa Aquatic Centre (NAC) Learn To Swim Day on Saturday.

Children from the age of three to 12 years put their learnto-swim skills to the test to compete in their first swim carnival.

Every child was encouraged to participate and received a goodie bag for their great effort.

The very lucky Alex Otto, who swims twice a week and turns seven this week, won a brand new mountain bike.

NAC marketing officer Tina Frey said the carnival was a huge success and lots of fun for all, due to the great teamwork from “the fabulous swim instructors”.

If you would like to enrol in term four of the Learn to Swim Program simply phone 5448 0288 or visit our website, www. noosa.qld.gov.au/nac.

Offshore fishing scene heating up

By JACK MANGROVE THE Noosa River has really fired up this week, with the cleaning water holding plenty of quality fish for the budding angler. The upper sections of the Noosa River have really been the place to be this week, with everything from jacks to threadfin salmon getting caught. It seems trolling has been the most effective way to fish so far, and the Maria MJ-Twitch in the 90mm size has been nearly the

perfect lure for this application.

Flathead are in good numbers right throughout the system, with the bigger models falling to soft plastics such as the Zman MinnowZ worked slowly across the bottom. There’s also been plenty of reports of GT’s (or giant trevally) taking surface lures around the back of Noosa Sound, especially if you can get there first thing in the morning.

On the offshore scene, the dirty water flowing out from the Noosa

River really stirring things up.

The close in reefs such as Jew Schoal, Halls Reef and even Sunshine Reef are now loaded with everything from snapper to sweetlip, and it seems prawn style soft plastics fished closely to the bottom are proving the secret weapon on the sweetlip.

Tuna are also popping up around Laguna Bay at the moment, with feeding frenzies a common sight just outside the bar.

There’s two species of tuna which

have been getting caught lately: Mactuna and longtail tuna. Longtail tuna are the bigger of the two, and make for excellent eating - especially if you’re a sashimi lover.

Small metal slugs such as the River2Sea Sea rock in the 14g size cast and retrieved through the feeding frenzy is a sure way to bag yourself a tuna or two.

NOOSA’S BEST SPORTS COVERAGE

Ashleigh Mueckenberger wowed the crowd with her stunning vocals.

Brekky time for surf club THE Noosa Heads Surf Club turned on the sunshine for their bi-annual Sponsors Breakfast on Friday morning.

Guests were treated to delicious meals from the surf club restaurant and for dessert, the soulful sounds of local songstress Ashleigh Mueckenberger.

Club president Greg Cowie said the Noosa Heads Surf Club was looking forward to helping Peregian Surf Club members with membership and support after recent financial issues saw the Peregian Beach Surf Club restaurant and supporters club close its doors earlier this year.

Greg also said a lift would be installed at the Noosa Heads club by March 2015, a much anticipated addition to the busy club.

WITH the start of the 2014/15 patrol season fast approaching, local clubs are all busy with patrol rosters training programs and gym sessions. Not to be left out, the Nipper people are conducting sign-on sessions for the families involved.

“Our sign on days went well and the response from the families in the under-six and under-seven age group was very good indeed,” Sunshine president Craig Law said.

“We have also just completed the patrol captain’s course and also an upgrade which involved taking the Surf Rescue Certificate holders to their bronze medallion.

“The response right across the board has been great.”

On the building committee side of things, the Sunshine Club has also been busy having just recently completed an upgrade program on the balcony of their supporter club.

When you walk out on to the refurbished deck to sit and dine under one of the many umbrellas, the view overlooking the ocean is second to none.

At Noosa, a group of candidates from Rainbow Beach, Noosa, Sunshine and Peregian have just finished a training course for the Beach Management Silver Medallion – commonly referred to as the Patrol Captains. It is the holders of this award who have the overall responsibility of running the beaches and ensuring that a high standard of patrolling is maintained.

With these courses being run on a regular basis, anyone interested in a career in lifesaving is invited to ring either Sunshine Beach club on 5447 5491 or Noosa on 5474 5688 extension 2.

On Saturday 6 September from

Nippers help each other and the community.

Nippers: it’s all about team work.

9am at the Noosa clubhouse, one of the most rewarding events on any surf lifesaving calendar in Australia, will once more get un-

der way. Families from Gympie to Caloundra, will gather to sign up for yet another session of the Noosa Seahorse Nippers.

This organisation conducts and assists in beach activities for children and siblings with special needs, and it is all done with zero cost to the families.

Once the sign-on is completed, the morning fun commences at 9.30am, with all events supervised and run by qualified lifesavers.

The fact that these lifesavers are not just from the Noosa club but also from clubs stretching from Sunshine Beach to Caloundra shows the high regard the Seahorses are held. The dates for this season are 6, 13, 20 and 27 September.

On the last Saturday after the program is completed, organisers Steve and Nicole Mawby, assisted by invited guests, will present gifts and awards to the Nippers.

With the success that has been achieved by the Mawbies and their support team, it is easy to understand why the Noosa Seahorse concept is now spreading interstate.

The name ‘Nipper’ has now become synonymous with children but this was not always the case. Way back in 1967, when the Noosa chief instructor Bob Kneal, founding member of the Noosa Nippers, first formed a group of little lifesavers there was no official designated name in Australian lifesaving for the kids, so Bob settled on Sea Colts.

“I picked that name because our senior club had just changed our official badge to the seahorse, and as a colt was a young horse I went for that name,” Bob said.

“However when the name Nipper was finally settled on by the governing body, our kids did not like it at all… they wanted to keep their name.

“However, the name ‘Nipper’ became official, so that was that.

“Also in those days there was no training manual, so I followed the American lifeguard system of training their kids as junior lifeguards.

“The rest is now history.”
