Noosa jazzed up NOOSA was alive with the smooth sounds of jazz at the weekend as thousands of music fans converged on Noosa for the annual Noosa Jazz Festival.

This year’s Jazz Festival has been hailed one of the biggest on records, with several events selling out and big name acts drawn to Noosa for the festival.

Businesses are also reporting higher-than-average turnovers and organisers are already planning for next year.

Say no to Noosa

By JONATHON HOWARD A GROUP of residents opposed to the EDV reboundary bid has emerged this week under the title Sunshine Coast Alliance Inc. Alliance chairman and fourth generation Noosa shire resident, Steve Bennett, said the group was opposed to Eumundi, Doonan, Verrierdale and Weyba Downs joining Noosa Council.

“Noosa can’t afford us... they can’t continue to offer the same level of service and they can’t keep the maintenance up on the areas,” he said.

“We want to make it quite clear that the alliance loves Noosa - we work and play in Noosa and frequent the shops and attractions there.

“However, the romantic idea of de-amalgamation is simply not stacking up, we don’t want to be a part of it – nor do we want to be a part of what we see as a failing Noosa Council.”

Mr Bennett said the alliance favoured the Sunshine Coast Council’s divisional structure and heaped praise on Cr Steve Robinson.

“These areas should remain part of the Sunshine Coast Council as they have done for more than the past 100 years,” he said.

“While we love Noosa and we love the Sunshine Coast, we just don’t want to be a part of a council that we believe is on track towards financial ruin.”

Mr Bennett said the alliance saw the future of Noosa Council as unstable.

“The Sunshine Coast Council is sustainable and stable, but Noosa Council appears like a basket case,” he said.

“We’re seeing a future forecast for the Sunshine Coast region that’s bright and we’re happy with Mayor Mark Jamieson and Cr Steve Robinson and they have done good things in our area.

Dogs aren’t born mean

By JOLENE OGLE EDUCATION and increased awareness is the answer to the recent spate of dog attacks, according to Bark Busters’ Faith Wild, who has slammed irresponsible pet owners.

Trainer dog behaviourist Faith said it was time to act to protect our community and dogs through education. “Dogs are not born mean and there are reasons why dogs are aggressive,” she said.

“It is important to understand that it is also not breed specific ... any dog is capable of aggression from the chihuahua to the shepherd and even though certain breeds have certain traits, you cannot lump them in one category.

“For example, the most aggressive dog I have encountered was a labrador and the softest, sweetest dog I have ever trained was a pitbull.”

Faith said with the exception of a physical or painful condition, dogs didn’t “turn” aggressive, rather an aggressive dog is born out of misunderstanding, fear and mistreatment.

“This issue has to be addressed at its core level if we are to keep our community safe,” she said.

“It’s time our society took a new look at why dogs attack and not bandaid the situation.

“We have to take responsibility for our actions and that of the dogs in our care. It is up to use to educate our dogs to keep not only our community safe, but also our much-loved pets.”

Faith, who offers free workshops to the community through Bark Busters, said she wasn’t surprised dog attacks are occurring.

“It’s intolerable that people are put into this situation. It’s scary for both owner and dog and it can lead to a perfectly normal, happy dog being aggressive through fear.”

Faith has shared some of her top safety tips when interacting with dogs.

Adults: Learn to read a dog’s body language to help understand their mood, Look for signs of aggressive behaviour such as tail up, ears flat, staring, hackles, a backward leaning posture, teeth bared, mouth shut tight, If you feel in danger, do not run, scream or attack the dog. Stand still and do not flinch or stare at the dog.

If you get knocked down to the ground, cover your face with your arms and stay as still as you possibly can. Do not try to get up.

Gamble on power

By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA residents are fuming over recent increases to their power bills and the answers they are receiving from politicians to justify the hikes are only fuelling the rage.

Residents are now throwing the “party line” back in the face of LNP ministers and demanding they provide them with “honest answers”.

Noosa resident Ken Gamble said he was fed up with what he believed to be “political lies” and he wants the power Ombudsman to investigate the LNP’s whopping 67 per cent increase to power service line charges, as well as increases to his overall usage.

“It’s about time the government came clean on its power charges and told consumers where this money is going,” he said.

“We’re asking for honesty, that’s something we can handle - if it’s bad news that’s okay, just give it to us straight.”

Mr Gamble said he found several discrepencies in the charging rates on his bill to those published in the power usage charge gazzette document, approved by the State Government.

Mr Gamble is semi-retired and lives on a small pension, but his power bill increased by $100 for this quarter and there’s future increases on the horizon.

“The government wants more money for food and services, more for power and water, more for fuel, where are the explanations for these hikes, especially when there’s very few new jobs being created and small businesses are suffering,” he said.

Noosa Today has also received several complaints from residents

Minister for Energy and Water Mark McArdle says huge power profits are being plugged back into public services.

Parties in power struggle

By JONATHON HOWARD

Noosa resident Ken Gamble has had enough of the political lies - he wants straight answers. that Centrelink employees are telling job seekers that the Sunshine Coast and Noosa are the toughest places in Queensland to find a job.

“This has gone on for too long, it’s about time the residents rallied together again and called for fairness and transparency from politicians

and not the party line,” he said.

Noosa Today put Mr Gamble’s questions and concerns, as well as several other residents' concerns including questions from Noosa Greens Party candidate Joe Shlegeris, to the Minister for Energy and Water Mark McArdle MP.

MINISTER for Energy and Water Mark McArdle has defended recent electricity price hikes, saying any money gained from the increases will be re-invested into public services.

“Unlike the Greens, the (LNP) Queensland Government has a strong plan for a brighter energy future, PowerQ, that recognises the role of solar in electricity generation,” Mr McArdle told Noosa Today.

PowerQ is the LNP Government’s answer to the former government’s 2020 climate change and carbon tax plan, following the repeal of the Rudd Government’s Carbon Tax. PowerQ is the LNP Government’s long-term strategy for the state’s electricity sector and was released in late June 2014.

According to the LNP website, PowerQ is set across a 30-year timeframe that is designed to help transition the electricity industry into one that is resilient, cost-effective and customer-focused, to

support the economic and lifestyle aspirations of Queenslanders.

Noosa Today asked Mr McArdle whether the LNP Government supports green energy production.

“We support renewable energy where it is commercially viable and does not require subsidies,” he said.

Mr McArdle also sought to address residents' concerns around the power price hikes and the usage of an estimated daily profit of more than $1 million per day.

“Dividends from the State Government’s power generation and distribution businesses are returned to Queenslanders,” he said.

“This year more than $662 million will ensure regional customers pay no more for their electricity than people in Brisbane.

“The money also helps pay for essential public services such as hospitals, roads and public transport.”

HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you think more money should be invested in solar and other green energy options?

Mystery deepens as surfer Maynard’s still missing A LONESOME figure spotted paddling about 300 metres away from the Bali island of Nusa Lembongans’ main surfing break, could have been missing Noosa man Peter Maynard.

The figure was spotted on Thursday 28 August by Monkey Surfing operator Christohper Capel, who told media sources in Bali that the swell had been up near 15 feet that day.

Mr Capel said he watched the unknown surfer paddle towards a break known as “No Man’s Land”, where huge sets were rolling in.

“The set was about 10 feet and I saw a surfer catch a wave and then disappear with the foam,” he told media sources.

Mr Capel did not see the mystery surfer again and he told media

sources he thought the surfer had gone ashore. The mystery disappearance of Mr Maynard from a Balinese island last week has left his family devastated as they await any word of his whereabouts.

Signs and a $5000 reward have since been posted around the island urging anyone with information to come forward.

Mr Maynard, 45, had been staying on his own at the Nusa Indah Bungalo on the island of Nusa Lembongan, from 23 August to 28 August.

A snapped surfboard (nose) portion of what was believed to be Mr Maynard’s surfboard was found near Shipwrecks that same day, Thursday 28 August.

Family members of Mr Maynard have since confirmed the nose of the

broken board was part of a Hammo board, which was designed and made

by Mr Maynard.

He was scheduled to check out of his room on 28 August, but when staff checked his room they found almost all of his personal possessions including his phone, wallet and surfboards - abandoned and untouched.

In a media statement, Peter’s wife Kylie Maynard said the family was calling for any information to assist in finding her husband.

“We will continue to work with local police, the Australian Consulate and surf and rescue authorities in the hope that together we can find Peter and bring this matter to an end.

“We implore anybody who knows anything to please notify the

Noosa Heads man Peter Maynard has gone missing in Bali. relevant authorities and we ask that our family’s privacy be respected during this difficult time,” Mrs Maynard said.

Bali Police along with other rescue authorities continue to search for Mr Maynard who has been missing now for 13 days at the time of print.

Taste of own medicine

By JONATHON HOWARD DOCTORS of Tewantin GP Doctor Chandran Ramaswamy has been forced to take some of his own medicine after he faced the reality of being overweight.

“I was always fit and healthy when I was younger, but during the past five years I started to get into the cakes and really just let myself go,” he said.

“Before I knew it, I was drastically overweight, my mood had changed and I’ve got far less energy.”

Dr Ramaswamy advises his patients on a daily basis to “watch your weight and do regular exercise”, but it was when he started to take his own advice that his weight and general outlook started to improve.

“When I started to notice my waist increasing and general fitness decreasing, I realised I needed to take my own advice and make a positive change,” he said.

The change came when Dr Ramaswamy received a phone call from a Noosa friend, who every year runs a marathon.

“My friend, who is from Switzerland but lives in Noosa, makes it an annual event to run in the Berlin Marathon,” he said.

“Every year he asks me to join him, and when he insisted that I run this year, I thought here’s my chance to make the change I’ve been wanting.”

That was almost 12 month ago, and Dr Ramaswamy has until 28 September when he takes part in the mamoth 42.2km run.

“I’ve managed to drop 9.5 kilos and I completed my first 30km run the other day,” he said.

From page 1

Dr Chandran Ramaswamy is about to undertake the biggest physical challenge of his life.

Dr Ramaswamy was also fundraising for Sunshine Hospice ‘Katie Rose’.

He said he recently had a patient receiving support at Katie Rose and was inspired by the staff dedication

and love shown towards all the Katie Rose patients.

“Our community should be so thankful, we have such a wonderful facility for our patients,” he said.

maswamy’s marathon run can be made to Westpac account: Sunshine Coast Community Hospice Ltd - BSB: 034 198 Account Number: 399023.

Residents can also make a donation at Doctors of Tewantin on 22 Doonella Street.

Push for birthing centre

By JONATHON HOWARD

“

I think parking is a huge issue at Nambour, and it’s a long walk to the maternity ward when you’re pregnant.

I think it would be great for Noosa to have local birthing facilities and it would ease already crowded Nambour Hospital…

Helen Zelinski with Tabitha Zelinski Rutland (19 months) of Noosa.

“

I decided to have Mahalia at Cabolture Hospital for the modern birthing suites. Nambour has only one birthing bath for the entire hospital. I also used the Share Care program which was very supportive…

Lani Kenzler with Mahalia (18 months) of Noosaville.

“We don’t want to be lumped with a tourism levy or service levy that’s imposed on places like Hastings Street.”

Mr Bennett said his members, which total 65 and growing, were concerned about future bus services under Noosa Council.

“There’s some concern about whether Noosa Council would support a bus route to service Eumundi,” he said.

Despite Mr Bennett’s strong views, he said he was not interested in a head-butting competition with EDV president Johanne Wright, however, he has raised concerns about Ms Wright’s survey results.

He said the survey results to determine public sentiment were “questionable at best”.

Surveys carried out by the EDV had revealed a majority, 80 per cent, of residents living in the EDV areas were supportive of joining Noosa Council.

“There are some questions around the EDV’s survey results including the way in which the survey was carried out and who was included,” he said.

Meanwhile, The Minister for Local Government David Crisafulli has been informed of the Sunshine Coast Council’s mayoral minute against the EDV re-boundary.

The Sunshine Coast Council is awaiting a response from the minister who has previously advised that both councils would need to agree on the boundary changes in order to proceed.

NOOSA Today continues to receive message in support of a birthing centre to be built at the Noosa Hospital.

Noosa mother Lani Kenzler said she decided to have her baby at Caboulture Hospital due to a lack of birthing baths at Nambour Hospital.

Helen Zelinski, also of Noosa, said the Nambour Hospital parking was a major headache.

By JOLENE OGLE “YOU go to country pubs, you get drunk, you have a fight.”

That’s the way it goes according to the victim of an alcohol-fuelled assault outside a regional hotel last year.

Ewen Murdoch-Green, 21, and Jai Murdoch, 19, pleaded guilty to assaulting the victim on the main road of Kenilworth on 19 October last year, after arguing inside the pub earlier that night.

After being asked to leave the venue, Murdoch tried to punch the defendant but missed and the two men began to push each other before the hotel’s courtesy bus driver,

also Murdoch’s father, tried to break up the scuffle.

The court heard the victim continued to provoke the men, yelling abuse and threats as the two defendants attempted to walk away. It was then Murdoch-Green turned and punched the victim in the jaw.

The victim fell to the ground and split open the back of his head.

The man needed 11 staples to the wound, but MurdochGreen’s defence lawyer Anna Smith said that was the full extent of the victim’s injuries.

Ms Smith pointed to the victim impact statement which made dramatic allegations of medical and mental

injuries as a result of the assault, but said there was no evidence before the court to sustain the claims.

In sentencing, Magistrate Cliff Taylor said he agreed the victim impact statement contained a number of claims that were not supported.

He agreed the two men were provoked, and said alcohol-fuelled violence was not accepted by the community.

Murdoch-Green was fined $1000 and ordered to pay $500 compensation to the victim for pain and suffering.

Murdoch was fined $800 and also ordered to pay $500 compensation to the victim.

Neither man had a conviction recorded.

Students converge on Noosa

By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA has long been a favourite stopping point for international tourists, but it appears many international students are also eager to study English in Noosa.

Lexis English School in Noosa celebrated its largest enrolment of students on record this week, with more than 80 students from across the globe signing up.

They have come from all corners of the globe including El Salvador, Brazil, Japan, Korea and the list goes on.

The three-month course offers international students the chance to learn or touch up on their English, while enjoying the natural beauty and Noosa’s laidback lifestyle.

In celebration of the large intake, Lexis English School teamed up with Shades Cafe and Wine Bar in Noosa Junction, to serve up a barbecue for the hungry students.

The Lexi School has been teaching students in Noosa since 1989, trading initially as Global Village English Centre, before it was rebranded in 2011.

Bucking the iPhones trend

By JONATHON HOWARD WHILE an increasing number of schools are adopting the use of iphones and smart devices in classrooms, one Noosa independent school is bucking the trend with the use of all student owned phones and devices banned during school hours.

Noosa Pengari Steiner School at Doonan is an independent school with 300 students from Prep to Year 12, offering a nationally accredited and state recognised curriculum.

Every student is required to keep their devices turned off and in their school bags upon entering the school grounds and during school hours.

The results are surprising, with children encouraged to develop skills to solve problems, think creatively as well as an increase in the students’ interpersonal interaction.

While some schools use the smart device as a learning aid or tool, Noosa Pengari’s academic director John Stewart sees the use of student-owned devices as an unnecessary source of distraction in the classroom.

Mr Stewart was appointed to his role at the start of the current semester and has worked for more than a decade on curriculum in various Steiner Schools, both nationally and internationally.

“We don’t believe that a student’s learning experience can be significantly improved through allowing them access to their smart

phone in the classroom environment,” he said.

“In addition, it creates the potential for distraction through off-task phone use or even opens up the possibility for cyberbullying."

Mr Stewart said students were already tech savvy through immersion in our modern lifestyle and the use of smart phones posed no intellectual challenge for a modern youngster.

“There is certainly a place for technology and it’s important that students understand ICTs in order to consciously use them as the powerful tools that they are,” he said.

To this end, the school employs multiple digital technologies such as laptops, cameras, projectors and has a fully equipped Maclab, but the devices belong to the school, so that teachers are able to control when and how the students access them. The school also takes a crosscurricular approach to technology by teaching binary as well as dismantling and assembling a computer to understand the working parts.

Mr Stewart referred to several educational studies which have showed the negative effects on a student’s ability to concentrate and retain information taught in lessons where they had access to their smart phones.

The school is among a small group of independents that attempts to challenge the idea that the wide introduction of digital technologies into the learning environment carries all the answers.

Steiner School teachers also

Students take on phones

By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA Today spoke with several Year 9 students from Pengari Steiner School about what they think about the school’s ban on smart devices and the results were surprising.

“I have a smart phone, but I only bring it out after school. I think using smart devices in class can be a distraction. My parents also see it as a distraction and I have to hand the phone over when I’m doing homework,” Year 9 student Same Allen said.

“I don’t take the phone out after school because I don’t really need it and it only acts as a distraction,” Year 9 student Georgia Brooks said.

“I only take the phone out to make a call or to use the camera. It’s really only a distraction and it’s also disrespectful to teachers, using a phone in class. I think there’s always going to be a device or tool for students, but it’s how the person uses it,” Year 9 student Isabella Scott said.

Stiener School's academic director John Strewart believes in learning without smart phones. avoid the use of calculators and digital technologies as teaching tools in the primary years, an approach that recently gained media attention in the case of a Steiner school in Silicon Valley.

“Our teachers don’t ask our primary school students to automatically reach for their calculators or phones, but instead they are challenged to develop their own skills, without relying on a device or com-

puter to provide the answers for them,” Mr Stewart said.

“We’re attempting to instil a sense of self reliance in our students, where they learn to use their creative thinking to solve complex problems.”

There is also a lot of concrete, corners and brick walls to negotiate. “When children are doing complex activities such as gymnastics and the type of manoeuvres required in cheerleading, they need to be supervised - both for their own safety and for the safety of other children in the playground.�

Further to this, Ms Sands revealed the department’s “Policy and Procedures Manual� requires that trained personnel and gym mats be

available when students are participating in activities requiring inverted positions this includes cartwheels and handstands.

Ms Sands said there were two or more staff in every area of the playground at all times with a ratio of about one staff member to 50 students at play times. “This far exceeds the required supervision level and teachers are happy to do this to ensure all students can play safely,� she said. “Specialised activities such as gymnastics and contact sports require further supervision with limited student numbers.�

ACCIDENT mitigation and insurance liability were two driving forces behind an increase in supervision for “risky� playground activities at Peregian Springs State School.

Residents were bowled over last week when media outlets ran the headlines “school bans handstands and cartwheels� or “fun police on playgrounds�.

The headlines reignited debate around “cotton wool kids� and “overbearing adults� with concerns that schools were taking safety too far.

The school’s principal Gwen Sands has since issued a statement which revealed two severe injuries were suffered by students as a result of cheerleading type stunts including handstands and cartwheels on the playground.

She did not ban cartwheels or handstands; instead she said increased supervision was required in situations where cartwheels and handstands were being performed. “When injuries like this occur; parents, the general public and the department

Power to the people’s panel

By JONATHON HOWARD A RADICAL and innovative experiment in democracy was launched by Noosa Council this week.

But before you start thinking online activism, marching in the streets, or rattling political cages, instead think back to the earliest democratic traditions with some new social sciences put together in a new approach to public decision-making.

Noosa Council has enlisted the services of newDemocracy Founda-

tion to engage with the local community and develop a “people’s panel” of everyday Noosa residents.

The panel will make recommendations on how the council should prioritise future spending and even determine the best way forward on contentious issues.

The panel was likely to mirror other successful people’s panel programs, which usually comprise 24 residents, business owners and students.

The selected participants are ran-

domly selected to represent a broad cross-section of the community.

During the next three months, the selected panel members will be given open access to information and financial data about council, along with briefings by experts, senior bureaucrats and councillors.

The idea was the brainchild of mayor Noel Playford, who made the announcement during a press conference on Wednesday, 10 September.

Cr Playford approached newDemocracy Foundation executive direc-

tor Iain Walker to develop the panel idea.

The organisation has already seen some success in Canada Bay Council as well as other clients.

Like citizens serving on a jury, the panel members will deliberate over what they have heard and will reach a verdict in the form of recommendations to councillors on priority projects, services, revenue and spending.

Speaking with Noosa Today, Mr Walker said each of the people’s pan-

Hobnobbing with the mayor in Q&A

By JOLENE OGLE IT’S NOT every night you get to dine with the mayor, but the Cooroy Chamber of Commerce brought together the man at the top and local community members for a night of questions and answers.

The ‘Dinner with the Mayor’ event, held at the Cooroy Hotel on 29 August, brought together the local community and mayor Noel Playford, who addressed diners with a summary of his eight months in the top job.

Cr Playford said council had been busy ridding the shire of bureaucracy and reducing the bill for cars, phones and staff, before addressing the recent furore surrounding de-amalgamation costs,

adding there were no “black holes” when it came to council’s finances, with the Queensland audit team expected to sign off on the accounts shortly.

Among the good news, Cr Playford said the repeal of the carbon tax should result in a reduction of costs and council would now work hard to assess roads and bridges to develop a long-term capital works program.

When it comes to the EDV boundary argument, Cr Playford said it all came down to listening to the community and said the suburbs would be welcomed “with open arms” should the change eventuate.

Council’s recent decision to move towards a permanent recreation vehicle (RV) stop in Cooroy

was also discussed, with Cooroy Chamber of Commerce president Danielle Taylor applauding council’s recent decision to trial a 12-month RV stopover at 17 Mary Road, Cooroy.

“We are really excited about the RV parking for Cooroy.

“The Cooroy Chamber of Commerce has been working on this project with various government for more than 10 years, lobbying to get caravan and RV day parking and some overnight stops in Cooroy,” she said.

Ms Taylor said it’s common to see RVs parked on the roadside and across multiple car parks throughout Cooroy.

“Many of our members have reported they are constantly asked by

visitors if there is a place they can stay overnight with an RV. “So we know there is a need, but it has been a challenge to find an appropriate spot,” she said.

“This is a really positive step and a big thanks to the Noosa Council for getting us closer to a solution.

“There is still a bit of work to go, and it will be a few months away at least but this is the biggest step forward we’ve had to date.”

Ms Taylor said the Cooroy community would benefit from the addition of an RV stop, as travellers only stayed for a few hours at this point because there was nowhere else to stop.

elists will be paid for their time and are essentially “average Joes”.

“Unlike other focus groups or community consultations, the people selected to take part in these panels represent a broad age range and are in many ways average citizens,” Mr Walker said.

While only in the early stages, the people’s panel was expected to commence in the coming days and recruitment for the panellists was now underway.

Green waste bins now for rural homes NOOSA Council has made several announcements this week including a chance for rural residents to use green waste bins and service structure changes.

The following is a breakdown of council’s announcements.

KIDS’ LIBRARY CARDS: The first Noosa Library Service kids’ card will be on display in the Noosa Council marquee during the Noosa Country Show. The card features vibrant colours, lively characters and is the original artwork by local cartoonist Dave Hackett.

Cartoon Dave will be at the show on Friday sharing his drawing techniques and art of cartooning with families and kids. Participants will have the chance to create their own cartoon character during the 20-minute, free sessions from 10.20am-10.40am, 11am-11.20am and 11.40am-noon.

TWO UNDER ONE ROOF: From Monday 15 September, Noosa Council’s building and plumbing departments will be housed under the same roof at “The Depot” on Eumundi-Noosa Road, opposite Bunnings.

The depot is an existing council property site that has undergone renovations to accommodate the two departments, which had formerly been located in separate buildings at the council’s main site at Tewantin.

Council’s manager of Building and Plumbing Services said to celebrate the new premises opening and to familiarise the customers with their new location, they were holding a sausage sizzle from 8am-11am on Monday 15 September.

“Life can change in an instant on the roads,” Rotary Youth Driver Awareness (RYDA) program helps kids understand the driving dangers.

Valuable lessons driven home hard

By JONATHON HOWARD FIVE adrenalin-pumping minutes behind the wheel of a speeding car, can lead to a lifetime of pain and heartache.

It’s a chilling thought and one that Noosa paraplegic Darren Shields, used to drive home the message of safe driving to a group Year 11 students from Noosa District State High School recently.

A total of 70 students were taking part in the Rotary Youth Driver Awareness (RYDA) program, which aims to teach students valuable driving and driver awareness lessons.

The lessons were delivered over six interactive sessions and aimed to explore crucial aspects of travelling safely such as, stopping distances; hazards, distractions and risks; alcohol, medications and fatigue; a crash survivor story; road choices regarding financial and legal ramifications; and how to choose and maintain a safe vehicle.

The students listened to a local policeman’s presentation on L and P plater driver legal rights and responsibilities and watched a video, which explained the ‘ripple effect’ caused by the death of a young driver on her family, friends, co-

workers, classmates and those involved with the accident.

The Year 11s designed their ‘dream car’ and explored some of the costs associated with running a vehicle.

Students provided some ‘Plan Bs’ for young drivers through looking at a number of scenarios and investigating some alternative options for drivers faced with potentially driving drunk or fatigued.

Paraplegic Darren Shields explained to the students how his life was changed in an instant when he lost focus of the task at hand, which was cycling, and due to his lack of focus, he missed noticing a

parked car, which he hit head on.

Students were shown how stopping distance changes by the speed in which a vehicle is travelling and the reaction time, and were provided with an opportunity to drive with an instructor to experience how it feels to be in a car stopping within a range of speeds.

The Year 11 students found the day at RYDA to be educational and very practical, and the Rotarians involved hope it will save at least one life from the cohort with the day assisting students by providing them with the knowledge, life skills and tools to make more informed decisions.

GREEN WASTE OPTION: Noosa Council is expanding the garden waste collection service to rural townships to counter the problem of green waste- lawn clippings, leaves, branches, twigs, weeds and palm fronds- going to landfill.

Rural residents are being offered the service for a more environmentally friendly solution to managing their garden waste.

The green waste bins cost $65 per annum for a fortnightly collection Once ordered from the council, a new green waste bin will be delivered in about four weeks’ time.

The green waste collected by council is shredded, aged, mulched and made available to residents, free of charge, for use as garden mulch.

For more information on these and other council matters, phone Noosa Council on (07) 5329 6500.

Sunshine Butterflies founder Leanne Walsh at the new home for the charity.

Butterflies hovering over the hobby farm

By JOLENE OGLE AFTER nine months of fund-raising, the Sunshine Butterflies charity organisation is finally the new owner of its very own hobby farm.

Currently located off Rene Street in Noosaville, Sunshine Butterflies founder Leanne Walsh said the organisation had been looking for a new home where it could expand their services to include animal therapy for children with disabilities.

The five-acre property at 468 McKinnon Drive, Cooroibah, will be transformed into a farm, with Leanne and her family expected to move into the

home at the back of the property in four to six weeks to begin the transformation.

“My husband is experienced in landscaping, so we will have this place looking great,” she said.

The property, which will become home to the new Backyard Project, will offer existing programs such as woodwork, art, cooking and music workshops, while introducing an animal care program where members can look after animals to gain basic skills.

Leanne believes the addition of animals to their care program will have a great impact on people with disabilities, helping to relieve stress and anxi-

ety while increasing confidence and self-esteem.

The property will also be used to grow produce to sell and help raise funds, while the home on the property will be renovated into a respite centre for carers and families.

While Leanne wasn’t at the on-site auction for the home on the weekend, she said Sunshine Butterflies chairman Steve McPharlin did a great job bidding for the property on behalf of the charity.

“A special thanks also goes to our gold foundation sponsors who donated $1000 or more, who have made the dream a reality,” she said.

Law firms in the mix with merger SPM Law, Noosa Heads, have expanded their reach to Gympie with the successful merger with Baldwin Cartwright lawyers.

SPM Law owners Julian ‘Jed’ McNamara and Michael Sobey have taken the helm of Baldwin Cartwright lawyers and look forward to working with the progressive law firm to continue to service the Gympie community.

Jed and Michael have already been sharing their time between their Noosa Heads office and new Gympie office for the past 12 months in an effort to create a seamless transition.

The Gympie team isn’t expected to change with Selena Cartwright still leading the family law division of the firm as Special Counsel.

Michael said the merging of the two firms is exciting and he looks forward to continuing the tradition of excellent legal representation in the region.

“With Baldwin Cartwright and SPM Law joining forces, we will now be the largest locally owned law firm in the Sunshine Coast and Gympie areas,” he said.

“We now have nine lawyers and approximately 20 administrative staff including designated conveyancers between the two offices. All our staff are passionate about what they do and where they live and are looking forward to the economies of scale that two locations will provide.”

MP wages challenged

By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA Greens Member Joe Shlegeris continues to ramp up his campaign efforts this week with his latest attack aimed at the mountain of wages afforded to Queensland’s MPs. In a statement to Noosa Today, Mr Shlegeris posed the question: are Noosa and Queensland residents getting their money’s worth?

It’s a question that has been raging on the airwaves and across editorials, with calls for tightening of MP salaries.

“The cost of running Queensland’s Legislative Assembly is about $86 million per year,” Mr Shlegeris said.

“That’s the cost of paying and supporting the state’s 89 local members - close enough to $1 million each.

“I think voters in the seat of Noosa should ask whether we’re getting a million dollars worth of value from our local member,” he said.

“There are plenty of people who would be willing to have morning tea at the retirement villages and attend the opening of new boat ramps for a lot less than the local member’s parliamentary salary, plus loadings of more than $200,000 per year.

“Even worse, that $1 million per year cost does not seem to account for the accruing pension liability.

After just eight years local members enjoy access to a pension scheme based on their final salary - a lavish state-guaranteed income for life.”

Speaking from his stockbroking background, Mr Shlegeris said he knows plenty of people who cost their employers more than $1 million per year.

“Such people are exquisitely

Tourism Noosa CEO Damien Massingham, Minister for Tourism Jann Stuckey and SCDL CEO Simon Ambrose.

Forum boost for tourism TOURISM Noosa and Sunshine Coast Destination Ltd are preparing the ultimate welcome for over 300 delegates, who are in the region for the Destination Q Forum next week.

The two tourism bodies have joined forces to present the Sunset on the Sand welcome event, where local producers, including Noosa Red Tomatoes, Gympie Goat’s Cheese and Mooloolaba King Prawns, will showcase their products.

The Destination Q Forum is expected to provide both an immediate and long-term boost to the local and Sunshine Coast economy.

SCDL CEO Simon Ambrose said the event would not only

bring together Government, industry leaders and operators to focus on the state’s tourism sector, but it would also provide an opportunity to highlight the Noosa and Sunshine Coast region.

“Our key priority has been to showcase the fact that the Sunshine Coast offers a rich and diverse range of tourism experiences that go well beyond our superb beaches,” he said.

“Local operators throughout the region have gone out of their way to offer exciting pre and post touring options for delegates to allow them to really appreciate the strength of our tourism offer.”

Tourism Noosa CEO Damien Massingham thanked the Queens-

land Government for choosing Noosa to stage the Destination Q 2014 Forum and said the welcome mat was out throughout the region to greet delegates attending the state’s premier annual tourism gathering.

“We are all very excited about welcoming the Premier, Queensland Ministers and the Queensland Tourism Industry as we kick off this year’s event watching sunset from Noosa Main Beach with the backdrop of Noosa National Park,” Mr Massingham said.

The two-day forum will be held jointly at the Sheraton Noosa Resort and Spa and the Outrigger Little Hastings Street Resort and Spa.

Greens candidate for the state seat of Noosa Joe Shlegeris. qualified and have long track records of producing great results,” he said.

“More important, their big pay packets are always at risk– if they don’t perform, they’re out.”

Mr Shlegeris said in the private sector, million-dollar employees are intelligent, tough, and fit to face the rigours of million-dollar responsibilities.

“You have to vote for someone and you deserve the best candidate you can get,” he said.

“You don’t want someone who will be overruled by head-office party decisions.”

Noosa Today approached Member for Noosa Glen Elmes for a statement, but Mr Elmes did not respond before the time of print.

Alexandra Headlands led the way with swimming hot shot Steve Wilkes the toast, then along came 35-year-old Hayden Kenny to claim the first Ironman Title in 1968.

I wonder if the former Marybourgh railway worker ever thought his win would catapult his beloved sport to its present level.

Lifesaving’s next shot in the arm came when his son Grant ran out of the Maroochydore surf twice to create history in winning the Junior and senior Ironman double in 1980.

Benny’s

beat BENNY PIKE

The 16-year-old Maroochy high student had it all, looks, charm, pedigree and a marvelous promotion tool to enhance his sport. That’s when Kelloggs stepped in to change the sports image forever. That connection continued last weekend at a beach just south of Kingscliff, where several coast lifesavers had a crack at making this year's Nutri Grain series. While as expected Mooloolaba and Alexandra Headlands athletes had plenty of their guns on the fir-

ing line. As race commentator, I was delighted to see the Darren Mercer trained Noosa Heads stable firing on all cylinders.

Still all youngsters but all dreaming of future goals and gaining the experience that was on offer at the two-day event. Alexandra Nolan and Nicki chapman joined by Lincoln Dews, Jett Kenny, Rhys Burrows and Mackenzie Hynard weathering the enormously tough conditions on Salt Beach. Nolan and Dews both making finals with Lincoln 15th overall in a weekend that tested everyone.

It was a learning adventure that all will endure as they prepare for this season's competitions and the World titles in France next month.

Let’s stay in town, and it's good luck to our local rugby and AFL players in this year’s grand finals this weekend. The Noosa Dolphins are in yet another Grand Final hoping to repeat its 17-8 final round drubbing of University. Then rubbing salt into the wound with a 13-0 semi win to book a place in the big one.

The Barbarians scraped through to the decider with a hard-fought win over Nambour and if reports are accurate will show conviction just getting a full team on the line. I’am pretty sure the Uni boys will lift and put up a terrific fight as they usually do.

While we are talking rugby, congratulations to all involved with the Noosa Dolphins juniors. Another

great season from all age groups and its no wonder the club has such a bulging trophy cabinet. Plenty more rugby to come with the annual rugby sevens set to play 3-5 October. The competition has stepped up a notch with this year's event to double as the Oceania Sevens tournament. Teams from 12 countries including the current World Woman's Sevens Champions New Zealand lining up. Countries including NZ, Cook islands, New Caledonia, Samoa, Tahiti and Tonga will take on Australia's best, in the fully supported International Tournament. In finishing, good luck to the Noosa Tigers in their final match against the undefeated Mayne.

Until next time.

Dam water reduced for probe SEQWATER is lowering the water level of Lake Macdonald at Noosa ahead of investigative works as part of the bulk water authority’s Dam Improvement Program.

The lake water level will be lowered to about half a metre below the current full supply level to enable the works to be completed.

Seqwater chief executive officer Peter Dennis said the temporary lowering of the dam would not affect water security.

“The controlled releases of water required to achieve the lowering are not expected to have any environmental

impacts.We have increased monitoring of the dam environment during the process and we encourage our dam neighbours to get in touch if they become aware of any potential problems,” Mr Dennis said.

“We are lowering the water level by releasing water through the outlet valve as well as a number of temporary siphons installed on the spillway crest. We expect the water level will be lowered by mid-September, so investigations can begin.”

Mr Dennis said the investigation work on the spillway at Lake Macdonald was expected to take about four

weeks, subject to weather delays.

“Work on the spillway slabs will be conducted between 7am and 5pm, Monday to Friday, with the assistance of a mobile crane,” he said.

“We will be using cutting tools and some machinery, so intermittent construction noise can be expected.

“We appreciate the patience of the local community as we undertake this essential work.”

Mr Dennis said the investigations would help inform the timing and scope of the planned Lake Macdonald dam upgrade.

Lake Macdonald is undergoing some improvements by SEQWater.

Truss defends maiden budget

By JONATHON HOWARD FEDERAL Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss has responded to criticism around the Coalition Government’s first budget.

Noosa Today asked Mr Truss five questions relating to the repeal of the carbon tax, cost of living pressures, job seeker concerns and questions around superannuation contributions.

1. Should Noosa residents be concerned about the future pauses to superannuation contributions from the Coalition Government?

And should those residents be making their own super contributions to make up for any loss to their super?

The increase in compulsory superannuation contribution proposed by the former government had the potential to harm many small businesses.

The pause will not stop people from making their own contributions to superannuation, and it gives employees greater financial freedom to determine their own financial priorities. Salary increases that would have been withheld to cover the cost of the superannuation increase will now be available to employees as take home pay if they wish.

2. What is the government’s long-term strategy towards improving Australia’s financial future, irrespective of the previous government’s budget?

Labor’s legacy must be addressed.

In its six years in office Labor: squandered our nation’s savings; turned a $20 billion Budget surplus into successive record deficits totalling $191

Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss. billion; left a legacy of $123 billion in future deficits; left gross debt heading to a peak of $667 billion; and interest payments of $1 billion each month, rising to $3 billion every month without corrective action. This legacy of debt, deficit, waste and mismanagement must be addressed if we are to restore our nation’s public finances.

The government is committed to reducing Australia’s debt and deficit

through sustainable and responsible government. We want Australians to have certainty that the Federal Government can continue to provide the services they need.

An important part of our economic action strategy is to set the budget on a sustainable footing, the repeal of unnecessary red tape, and the repeal of the job destroying and confidencecrushing carbon and mining taxes.

Our strategy including a $50 billion commitment to new infrastructure will lift investment, boost productivity, and increase Australia’s competitiveness to create and support jobs.

3. How will the removal of the carbon tax benefit residents? And what is the government’s stance and policy towards addressing climate change?

The carbon tax has inflated electricity prices and penalised Australian industry. Its cost has been passed on to consumers and businesses, leading to higher prices, lost jobs and declining industry.

The abolition of the carbon tax will save the average household $550 a year, but the Coalition Government has kept carbon tax compensation in place. The Coalition Government will continue to work with the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission, to make sure the carbon tax savings are passed on to households and businesses by the electricity companies.

The government has a Direct Action Plan to address climate change.

It is a practical, methodical program aimed at delivering real reductions in emissions and improvements to the environment. An Emissions Reductions Fund will ensure that we reach our target of reducing emissions to 5 per cent below 2000 levels by 2020 by purchasing the lowest cost form of abatement.

The Coalition Government is also delivering a Green Army program which engages young people aged between 17-24 years, who are interested in protecting their local environment. Participants receive an allowance and gain hands-on, practical skills, training and experience in environmental and conservation fields, while working on grassroots conservation projects across Australia. There are at least two Green Army projects already planned for Noosa.

Jazz hits a success

By JONATHON HOWARD THE 23rd annual Noosa Jazz Festival has been hailed a roaring success after hundreds of eager jazz fans converged on Noosa Heads Lions Park on the weekend.

The park was transformed into a colourful display of dancers, performers and families soaking up the sun and sensational atmosphere.

The sweet sounds of jazz filled the air as artists such as Vince Jones, Grace Knight, Emma Pask, Jan Preston and a host of others performed to cheers from the audience.

Several events were sold-out including Tastings on Hastings, where pop-up restaurants lined the famous street.

Festival CEO Vickii Cotter said Noosa’s backdrop blended perfectly with some of the best musicians in Australia, along with mouthwatering offerings from restaurants and cafes.

“We had more than 20,000 people attend the region for the Jazz Festival over the four days (Thursday 4 September to Sunday 7 September),” Ms Cotter said.

“This year we even played host to an official touring party of 120 New Zealand delegates who stayed and played at the event as

well as taking in the sites of the local region.”

Ms Cotter said the festival village once again provided the best location.

“At the heart of the festival was the ‘Festival Village’, which offered 2 stages over 45 performances including main stage performances, workshops, master classes and jazz river cruises, all set in a family friendly relaxed picnic style atmosphere,” she said.

“The event welcomed the introduction of the ‘Legends Series’ – where legends of the Australian Jazz and Music Industry entertained guests in an intimate dining experience.

“The 2014 ‘Legends Lunch’ with Steve Clisby from Channel Nine’s talent show THE VOICE, was held at the RACV Resort and featured a two-course lunch menu, complimentary beverage on arrival and show.

A new addition in 2014 was the ‘Legends Dinner’ series with guests dining alongside Vince Jones and band while enjoying a delicious three-course dinner meal prepared by Noosa Springs Resort.

In summary, Ms Cotter said this year’s Noosa Jazz Festival was by far the best on record.

“We had a great time in the festival village this year! Perfect weather, amazing artists, sell out shows and wonderful patrons – for us, yes!

This was the best year on record,” she said.

The crowds gathered on the grounds of Noosa Heads Lions Park for the 2014 Noosa Jazz Festival.

Students from Sunshine Coast Grammar School performed a rousing brass number.

Limited technology

Best bar none

THE Weedtechnics technology has very limited and yet unproven application when it comes to weed control.

The technical data available for the technology is that generated by the patent holder and as far as I am aware there have been no comparative trials between Weedtechnics and glyphosate and there have been no extensive independent trials of the technology against common weed varieties.

Based on feedback from observers of the technology in the Byron Bay area, repeat treatments have been required and not all weed species are susceptible to this treatment.

Noosa Council would be well advised to request trial data from Weedtechnics on its effectiveness to eradicate/control weed species commonly found in the Noosa shire and a cost benefit analysis over a 12-month period and not to rely on the non-scientific hype promoted by the licensee.

ON A recent coastal bike ride we stopped at the Roo Bar in the Village Square of Palmer Coolum Resort for a coffee. Wow! What a beautiful resort and great coffee!

I’ve driven past the resort many times over the past six years since moving to the coast - I certainly didn’t realise how beautiful the golf course and gardens were, and Jeff the dinosaur looks awesome with Mt Coolum as his backdrop.

I couldn’t believe how large the resort is and the facilities are amazing to say the least!

I’ve always been told of the lovely high teas and yum cha they have at a couple of the many restaurants on offer, but never got around to checking it out.

So today I went back with my parents for lunch, which was superb. The staff were so friendly and helpful, also offering a tour of the grounds on one of the shuttles which was amazing to say the least. Putting politics aside, I don’t understand where all the negative press is coming from – we certainly had a wonderful time and will be making regular trips back. I have only recently had a look at the latest A Current Affair report online and it’s misleading – the prices at the resort are very reasonable, actually much cheaper than what we pay at our local cafes in Tewantin.

Our lunch was only $30 at the Smiling Duck which included a selection of five menu items, beer or wine as well as complimentary green tea. We had a look through both the Palmersaurus and Motorama for $60 which is very reasonable and they were great, the dinosaurs are awesome! We have coffee and cake at the Roo Bar quite often now and it’s not only some of the best on the coast, it’s also cheaper!

I don’t know who that staff member was that they interviewed either, we’ve never seen her ... all the staff we’ve met are extremely happy and are hoping that more people start to come and have a look for themselves, the more that do and enjoy the facilities like we have, the more staff they can afford to employ.

Don’t they deserve our support and patronage - it seems a shame to let some negative, misleading TV story affect them. Shouldn’t we be supporting local business and tourism – that is what the Sunshine Coast is built on, isn’t it?

As a consequence of the irresponsible ACA report last Monday the resort lost $10,000 worth of bookings, jeopardising jobs. So who is responsible – certainly not Clive it seems.

D. Williams, Tewantin.

FUN, free, family, fitness, thanks to the guys organising Parkrun every Saturday morning at 7am - our highlight of the week.

TO those drivers who don’t tailgate during wet conditions.

Take an interest

TO the amount of litter building up around access points to the Weyba Creek walking tracks - please take your rubbish home with you.

TO those motorists who continue to throw their cigarette butts on the road. Even a single butt can damage vital ecosystems or injure wildlife please be mindful of your actions.

I AM surprised that your letter writers seem to have little interest in the EDV campaign to realign the Noosa Council boundary with the Sunshine Coast.

It is important to remember that the EDV area is Noosa’s front door. The current shire boundary is set only eight kilometres from Hastings street and less than six kilometres from Tewantin.

This makes the border area a prime target for future developers wanting to get around Noosa’s strict planning controls.

The Sunshine Coast Council is strongly prodevelopment to build the “City of the Sunshine Coast” and is likely to become more so as the city grows.

LENSCAPE

THIS week’s Lenscape photo was taken by Sandra Manning of Tewantin.

Sandra said she noticed a mob of 12 grey kangaroos around Weyba Creek Rd after recent rain. The sighting got even better when a joey kangaroo posed for the camera.

“I often take photos during or after the rain, because I find a lot more animal activity during these times” she said.

SEND US YOUR LENSCAPE SNAP: Have you got a wildlife or surfing image you would like to see published? Send your name, contact details and a full size image to newsdesk@noosatoday.net.au Nothing inherently wrong with that vision but most people who have come to live in our area support a rural residential lifestyle and protection of the unique characteristics of our many lovely small towns – something that is deeply embedded in Noosa’s planning philosophies and endorsed by its residents.

As the closest area to Noosa, the EDV under the SCC is a prime area for future developers to be able to build large-scale developments that can capture the Noosa brand without the associated controls that Noosa Council would require.

Think “Noosa on Weyba”. If the boundary moves south to the other side of Eumundi then such developments will be either under Noosa Council control or outside the Noosa ‘catchment’. Noosa will then have the planning ‘green belt’ both it and EDV need.

Noosa residents who voted strongly for de-amalgamation in order to ensure continuing protection for the Noosa vision need to be careful they don’t lose much of the benefit by not protecting their own front door.

Alan Ramsey, Doonan.

Council cash flow THE letter by Victor Waterhouse (Noosa Today, 4 September) shows some ignorance of how a council’s finances are run. His suggestion that $19 million has somehow disappeared is ludicrous. Does Victor’s rubbish walk to the dump, the grass in the parks trim itself and roads magically repair themselves?

These services and others supplied by councils are not considered capital works and are where most of our rates are spent. If Victor would like to apply his same argument to the Noosa Council’s capital works program, I am sure he would be asking where did all the money go? And yes, Victor, I am happy with the services supplied by the SCC and do not believe Noosa Council would do as good a job.

Duncan Thomas, Doonan.

Leave us be WE ARE a family with deep roots in the Maroochy Council, now Sunshine Coast, and we want to stay in the Sunshine Coast Council.

We are well served by them; Councillors Rogerson and Robinson and Mayor Jamieson.

Thank you for your decision to keep us in your boundary. Our communities of interest are Verrierdale, Eumundi and Doonan.

E.M. Owen, Verrierdale.

Envious eyes on EDV? OH DEAR, poor Mayor Jamieson. He fears that his great empire will collapse if a tiny two per cent of it, as represented by Eumundi, Doonan, Verrierdale and Weyba Downs, is lost to Noosa Shire.

Without the full details of the proposed boundary change before him and, more importantly, without the knowledge of how the affected community – the people he was elected to serve – feel about the matter, he got his 12 loyal (to him) councillors to vote unanimously against the idea.

Not surprising I suppose, given past performances.

But what’s really intriguing, is why he couldn’t wait for that information. Why the pre-emptive strike?

Yes, I know that there have been jokes about skyscrapers in Eumundi, (based on the Sunshine Coast Council’s insatiable desire for development), but could there be a whiff of truth in this, or something like it? Is there something the electorate has not been told?

I wonder how many developers have their envious eyes on our small, quiet, up until now unspoilt, corner of the world?

Just asking.

Victor Waterhouse, Doonan.

Big wigs at music festival

By JOLENE OGLE

Originals Music Festival event organiser Marcus Pluckhahn said the industry agents are in Australia as part of the Big Sound festival in Brisbane.

“We’ve managed to lure the group to Noosa with the promise of great local talent and some good waves.

The talent we can be 100 per cent sure about, the waves not so much,” he said.

Marcus said the aim of the visit

was to reclaim Noosa’s place on the map as a live music destination and offer local musicians the chance to meet some industry people to help establish connections and raise their profile.

“We want to show the world that we have top-class talent here in Noosa, as well as stunning beaches,” he said.

“The Originals Music Festival is almost sold out and now we have

some great talent scouts among the event-goers. This is an awesome, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for local acts.”

Marcus said the Originals Music Festival is already looking to be a success, with outstanding support from the community and council.

“We couldn’t have made this happen without council’s support, especially Councillor Wilkie and Jill

BEAUTICIAN

Ikers. The community has also given us some great feedback and local businesses like Wimmers have come on board. As tickets head towards selling out, we couldn’t be happier,” he said.

Marcus said he had received feedback about noise concerns, but said he was happy for anyone to contact him on 0487 333 172 if they would like to raise any issues.

Business Development manager from Sunny Kids, who assured the children that the food and pantry items will be most appreciated by the families receiving them.

Rachael and Chris Michel, of The Kindness Project, were invited to Cooroy outside school hours care this week to meet the children of the Kindness Club and to collect the groceries. Children showed Rachael and Chris through their Kindness Club book outlining their activities to date and asked lots of questions about their roles at Sunny Kids and The Kindness Project.

“The children are genuinely interested in helping others and are constantly coming up

with new ideas for sharing kindness,” educator Lisa Hill said.

“Our Kindness Club is growing each week, with more and more children attending.”

The Kindness Club’s next activity will be at the ‘Inspiring Cooroy’ event on Thursday 28 August. The Kindness Club will have representatives at the event to greet attendees and to collect more groceries on the night, which will again be forwarded to Sunny Kids.

THE Originals Music Festival isn’t just for locals. Four international, industry heavy-weights are on their way to scout local talent and catch some waves while they’re at it.

Hailing from Canada, America, UK and Europe, the industry big wigs are booking agents for major festival and record labels.

Pip Newby is the artist and repertoire manager for Play It Again Sam, the in-house label of the PIAS Entertainment Group. Before joining the PIAS group, Pip was the artist and repertoire scout for Atlantic Records and he also runs Friends vs Records, an independent label he started at university.

Chris Sampson is the general manager of programming at Superfly Presents and oversees the booking and programming on behalf of Superfly for festival properties in New York, including Bonnaroo Music and Arts, Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival and the Great Googa Mooga.

Last but not least is Ali Hedrick, booking agent for The Billions Corporation, with 35 artists to her name including the Glass Animals.

Local singer/ songwriter Sahara Beck will showcase her talent at the Originals Music Festival this Saturday, where industry heavyweights will be checking out the talent.

Hot styles! Some of the fashion that wowed audience members.

Food and fashion blend

By JONATHON HOWARD A PICTURE perfect day set the scene for the annual Peregian Beach Food and Fashion Fiesta on Wednesday 3 September.

Hundreds of locals and visitors converged on the Peregian Village gardens and the bubbles were flowing early.

Guests praised the range of styles on display during the two-part fashion presentation on the runway.

Styles were flowing and colourful with plenty of talk around the latest designs from Peregian Beach designer Summer and Salt, as well as praise for two TAFE fashion students Yasmin Bridge and Clare Faulds who presented their designs.

The event was hosted by the Lions Club

Peregian and Peregian Beach Business Association who were expecting a crowd of about 400 with all proceeds raised going towards a number of local charities and community projects including Sunshine Butterflies and Katie Rose Cottage.

“It’s a wonderful way to showcase local business and talent,” Michele Lipner Lions coordinator and Fiesta organiser said.

Nicki Jutgange, spokesperson for the Peregian Beach Business Association and director of boutique Soul Sanctuary said 13 fashion houses from Peregian Beach were presented on the day.

Ten of the surrounding Peregian restaurants were also serving up a delicious two-course meal in marquees on the Village Green, and a complimentary glass of wine.

Hundreds of locals and visitors turned out to enjoy the Peregian Beach Food and Fashion Fiesta last week.

A behind-the-scenes look at the busy models who presented a range of local designers this year.

Two opulent villas ON OFFER are two opulent villas within the prestigious ‘The Enclave’ gated estate in Noosa Heads.

On the market for the first time, these two residences, number 8 and 11, are part of a limited release.

Number 8 is the larger of the two villas, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms and multiple living spaces spread over 380 square metres of under-roof living space.

This home seamlessly combines style and function, from the large pivot entry door and dramatic pendant lights to the extra-large garage and built-in storage.

On the middle level of the villa, the kitchen takes centre stage as the heart of the home.

With Miele appliances, Caesarstone benchtops and gas cooking, the home chef can look out over the open-plan lounge and dining area.

Large bi-fold doors open to a covered balcony where you can dine on warm summer nights or access the stairs to the private rooftop terrace.

A private media room is located at the rear of the middle level. A bathroom, laundry with laundry chute and lift access completes this level.

Upstairs, two guest bedrooms feature built-in storage and access to a private balcony and are serviced by a main bathroom.

The master suite is sure to impress with bi-fold doors that open out to a private balcony, dressing room, ensuite and a secluded study or retreat space.

Strategically placed voids and timber louvres throughout the home make the most of natural light and fresh breezes, creating a sense of space and relaxation.

Villa number 11 is a slightly smaller version of number 8, and is set over two levels.

These homes exude luxury and quality with suspended concrete floors, plush hardwood throughout the living areas and state-of-the-art kitchen appliances.

Each villa features a private plunge pool, but being located within the RACV resort, the new owner of these villas can also enjoy access to the resort's facilities including barbecues, beach entry, restaurant and children’s water splash park.

Don’t miss your chance to take advantage of the rare opportunity to find a home among the luxury and convenience of the RACV resort.

Q& A

Property Management

by Karen Seskis

Hi Karen, I want to sell my

investment property but my tenant refuses to let us hold

open for inspections....can they stop us? Trevor VIC Yes Trevor, the Residential Tenancy Act states that open inspections and on-site Auctions can only be held with the tenant’s permission.

This scenario can be an issue for sellers but it can usually be overcome with qualified buyers being shown the property by private inspection. This can be carried out but only if the tenant has been issued with the following notices: FORM 10... Notice of Lessor’s Intention to Sell Premises.

Big on relaxation and living

This property also features ceiling fans throughout, a double garage, security gate with intercom and double iron gates at the front of the home.

have an option here...the fact you have been at the property for less than two months and you were not advised when you signed the fixed term lease means that you have the option of terminating the lease giving the owner two weeks’ notice (Form 13). Perhaps speaking with the managing agent or owner and negotiating a rent reduction may be an option, as it is expensive to move and the owner may find it hard to rent the property while it is on the market so it could be a win win for you

special feature

When white is just oh so right keep walls clean using another colour?

bydesign WITH DI HENSHALL I OFTEN quip that my clients can have any colour they like as long as it’s white. I was once asked to consult on a new colour scheme for a major building in Hastings Street, Noosa Heads (wonder which one?) and asked myself how much could I charge for saying “paint it white”?

When I am (invariably) asked to come up with “something timeless” the immediate knee-jerk reaction is to gravitate towards white being the basis of the solution.

This is no more apparent than when designing kitchens and bathrooms. You can carbon-date a bathroom that has an avocado bath or a royal blue toilet - it is harder when presented with white.

White kitchens can look brilliant 10 years down the line, longer if the hinges hold out.

White bed linen never goes out of style - it is cool, clean, simple and luxurious.

Multi-coloured, floral bedsheets (or worse coloured satin!) can never replace the beauty of white.

People often say to me, what about keeping white walls clean, isn’t it easier to

Well, no - unless you are going to paint the walls the same colour as dirty finger marks, you are possibly going to have to whip out a damp sponge occasionally.

White is the perfect backdrop for almost any colour - including mixing it with neutrals and pastels - and, of course, contrasts, the ultimate being black. Don’t think that choosing white is a cop-out, it isn’t. It has never been boring and is ultimately the only timeless “colour” we have.

Choosing the right white is when the trouble can begin - there are grey whites, blue whites, brown whites, yellow whites - you get the picture. I would heartily recommend getting professional help to choose the right white. Professional painters use many varieties of white and know what one white looks like versus another.

Selecting a white from a paint chip or even a brush-out is challenging. My personal favourite, which many of my clients will know, is Resene Alabaster, which seems to adopt the tones around it to perfectly blend with many different colours.

Be mindful that white changes with the time of day and the seasons of the year. If you are going to inject some white into your life, spring is the perfect season - it’ll make you want to rush out and smell the roses.

Ninja Turtles with teenage twist

US-bound star needs help

By JOLENE OGLE USUALLY the BCC Noosa Cinema projects stars onto the big screen, but duty manager Ashleigh Mueckenberger is a rising star all of her own.

Ashleigh recently sang at the Noosa Heads Surf Club sponsor breakfast where she blew away the crowd with her amazing voice and stole their hearts with her plea for help to achieve her dream.

Ashleigh has been accepted to attend the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in New York, but with a $40,000 price tag for each year of study, Ashleigh is pulling out all the stops to make it to the big smoke.

“I hate asking for help. All my life, I have worked hard to get what I need and where I want to go,” she said.

“But I can’t get to New York without the help of the community.”

Ashleigh said so far the support of the community had been overwhelming with the Noosa Heads Surf Club pledging to help her “get to the airport, half-way across the ocean, or as far as they can”, and Ashleigh is working with local organisations, Rotary, who donated $1000, and community groups to help book future performances.

Ashleigh said she began singing in pre-school and could sing before she could talk.

“I was a bit of a loner in preschool, so I would sit on my own and sing to myself,” she said.

“I guess I’ve just always sung.

Ashleigh began singing before she could talk.

I’ve always had such a love for performing and music.”

The former Good Shepherd Lutheran College student said she

was lucky to have teachers who nurtured her talents and encouraged her to dream big and never give up.

After graduation from school, Ashleigh auditioned for the National Institute for Dramatic Arts (NIDA) but was told, while she auditioned well, she needed more life and performance experience.

“I made it my goal from then on to do as much as I could to further my knowledge of life and the arts, to be able to audition again and get in,” Ashleigh said.

Since then, Ashleigh has performed in the Noosa Art Theatre’s production of West Side Story and she performed alongside councillor Frank Wilkie in David Williamson’s Managing Carmen at the Noosa Long Weekend festival.

But Ashleigh said a tour to South Africa as a back-up singer and dancer for local performer Rebecca O’Connor’s Tina Turner show, provided some serious life experience.

“We were driving to the casino to perform and it was just dirt roads, there was nothing but dirt everywhere. The people were living in homes that look like shipping containers. Then we pull up at the casino, which is just so expensive looking. It really opens your eyes,” she said.

“We couldn’t go anywhere on our own at any point. It was sometimes scary to be there.”

Ashleigh said its experiences like this which were helping to expand her skills and she could not wait to perform again.

“I just want to tell people stories and make them happy,” she said.

By JONATHON HOWARD THE world’s most famous turtles are back on the big screen for the rebooted Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – and this is your chance to win a double pass.

Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to politicians.

The future is grim until four unlikely outcast brothers rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo and Leonardo must work with fearless reporter April O’Neil, played by Megan Fox, and her cameraman Vern Fenwick played by Will Arnet, to save the city and unravel Shredder’s diabolical plan.

mentary at locations all over Bali, but that was what we had, so I picked up Shaun Cairns of Panga Productions at his hotel very early last Wednesday, having arrived on the previous evening’s flight from Brisbane, and we set off for the first of six shoots on day one. While our assistant Wayan Agus drove towards Ubud, I started to run through the shooting script with Shaun. He looked at me vacantly.

“You’ll have to speak up,” he shouted at me.

“Can’t hear.” It transpired that the cameraman/ director was profoundly, if temporarily, deaf, the result of bursting an ear drum on his flight back from the Mentawais, where he had surfed

some of the best waves of his life. Now, however, he sat in the car looking miserable and confused, a noise inside his head like stampeding cattle. “I’ll be okay,” he shouted, but when he got out of the car to start work, I noticed that he was also quite dizzy. While I worried and he struggled to stay upright, we went to work.

The short film we were making was based on my book, Bali Heaven and Hell, for which I had interviewed more than 60 people, but mercifully I had trimmed this down to about 20 – still a lot of work when you have to deal with Bali’s chaotic traffic to get from one scene to the next. By late afternoon when we had to shoot scenes in the teeming streets of Kuta, we were sweating buckets, and were very glad to find the oasis of calm that is Poppies Restaurant. Forty years ago, when there wasn’t much choice, Poppies was our big night out, and Jeffrey, the young barman who was the only Ba-

linese we knew with a Western name, would rack up lethal Black Russians for us. Jeffrey’s still there mixing cocktails after all these years, and although I can’t stomach a Black Russian these days, he obliged with a few excellent margaritas.

Over the next few days, we filmed from one side of the island to the other, from the Jodie O’Shea Orphanage in Denpasar to the poorest compounds of the dry and dusty Bukit. With the help of long-time expat Michael Little, we managed to locate the Windro compound in Suluban, where 40 years ago we would leave our motor bikes and pay the young boys to carry our boards to the cave at Uluwatu while we jogged ahead. In those long-ago days there was nothing but dry and rocky fields surrounding Windro’s, but now it has been surrounded by out-of-control tourist development.

I had a bunch of black and white photos from that time on my laptop, and at a roadside warung we managed to find Wayan, the pretty young girl pictured walking down to the beach with a bucket of cold drinks balanced on her head. Now in her 50s, she shuffled a bit coming down the rickety stairs, but she had held her good looks, and was thrilled to take us into the compound to find others from that time.

We walked down tracks and along stone walls to a paddock that I recognised immediately as the place where my friend Dick Hoole had shot a picture of me in 1975 laughing uproariously while the film-maker Jack McCoy gave the kids joy rides on his motor bike, pretending to be out of control. Wayan shouted out a name, and another lovely woman emerged from behind some shrubs. I showed her the series of photos that had been taken right where we were standing, and she pointed to little Nyoman, my favourite board-carrier for several years, and said: “That my husband, he no look like that now!” She and Wayan laughed until they cried.

Tragedy on Nusa Lembongan AS WE were finishing our filming last week we got news of the disappearance of Noosa surfer Peter Maynard, then over the weekend the grim discovery of a section of his board.

His apparent death while surfing was one of two tragic deaths of Queensland surfers in Indonesian waters last week.

Nusa Lembongan is such a beautiful, peaceful place that you tend to forget how treacherous her reef breaks can be when there is significant swell. It seems that half of Noosa spends a lot of downtime relaxing and surfing on “Aussie Hill”, and I’m sure all who know and love that place will join me in sending condolences to the family.

Honour for greatest guitarists

Robbie Bostock.

From page 43 “The adrenaline rush you get from being on stage is amazing. I want to be an actress like Anne Hathaway who can act in Le Miserables and sing her heart out yet be a professional actress at the same time as honing all of her crafts, not just the one.”

Ashleigh, who can sing anything from jazz to opera, said auditioning for AMDA was a leap of faith, flying to Sydney for the one-day audition.

“The audition itself went really well. They said I had the perfect personality for the school and that I would thrive in the environment they had set up at AMDA. Not only that, but the audition itself was very rewarding,” she said.

Ashleigh has the drive and the passion, all that is left now is to raise enough funds to get her across the ocean, into the school and onto the stage.

Phil is well-known for his guitar skills having toured nationally and earned a place in the Australian Country Music hall of fame.

Phil also featured in the Sydney Olympics closing ceremony where he played to an audience of 2 billion people, while Robbie is a locally-grown talent from the Gold Coast and has an impressive early career of his own.

DEBBY Parsons from Circle of Sound had no trouble when it came to selecting 10 local acts to perform on the youth stage at the Originals Music Festival this Saturday.

“There are so many to choose from. There is such great talent on the coast,” she said.

For Debby, it’s all about “getting the young ones out there” and giving young local talent a chance to shine.

“I’ve been running the ‘Sunshine Coast’s Got Young Talent’ open-mic night for three years now, and the more you do it, the more passionate you become,” she said.

“This event gives students the opportunity to perform to a welcoming audience, while helping them gain confidence,” she said.

Debby said the festival was a fantastic opportunity for young performers to share their passion for music.

Local high-school band, The Perries, will make their major music festival debut with thanks to Debby.

Jack, Matt, Sully, Catherine and Eric, all in Year 12 at Maroochydore State High School, have brought together their different musical influences to create a unique blend of rock, indie, reggae and a little folk, and will perform on the youth stage at the Originals Music Festival.

The Perries: Jack, Matt, Sully, Catherine and Eric are ready to take to the stage at the Originals Music Festival this weekend.

Having formed only in December last year, the band is already making waves across the coast with a support gig for coast band, The Tea Society, appearances as the much-loved Originals community concerts and a New Year’s Eve gig already under their belts.

The band is now working on its first EP, ‘Lose No Sleep’, which is due for release later this year.

Other bands performing on the youth stage including Maddie Clarke, Sally Skelton, Tiahn Berg, Zacchaeus – John, Malia Stirling,

Keeley Young, Ebony Hamacek, Sam Fairbank, and Landers - i.

With such great talent on offer, you would be crazy to miss the acts appearing on the youth stage at the Originals Music Festival, Saturday, from 10am.

What a day at the marina

Classic Boat Regatta The Noosa Classic Boat Regatta is back at the Noosa Marina on 25 October.

Now in its sixth year, the regatta will showcase a collection of old wooden, classic boats, many of which are a labour of love and have been stripped down, taken apart, mended and rebuilt to restore their former glory.

You can indulge in a good ogle of the works of art when they pull into the Noosa Marina at 8am on 25 October.

Looking for fun?

If you’re looking for things to do and places to visit?

Drop into the Noosa Visitor Information Centre. Operated

by Tourism Noosa, the friendly trained staff can help you with maps, brochures, advice and directions. The information centre is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Photo: Darryn Smith for a wonderful day out at Noosa Marina. Read on for more details of Noosa Marina businesses and services you can enjoy on your next visit.

Getting there: By car, the Noosa Marina is located off Memorial Drive at 2 Parkyn Court, Tewantin.

By water, you can take the Noosa ferry from a number of stops including Hastings Street and Gympie Terrace.

Fitz takes all on board

By JOLENE OGLE LOCAL personal trainer and founder of Pink Fitz, Kate Fitzpatrick, is bringing together the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and question (LGBTIQ) community through health, fitness and a whole lot of pink.

Pink Fitz is a global, online community where members of the LGBTIQ community can come together for support, advice and physical training.

Kate, who was elected to serve as Tasmania’s youngest alderman at age 19, said Pink Fitz was born after spending too many nights in bars trying to meet like-minded people.

“I realised I would much rather climb a mountain at 6am with amazing people,” she said.

Pink Fitz aims to bring together people who suffer with obesity, loneliness, depression and low self-esteem in a safe environment with meal plans, workouts, and habit creation.

“Pink Fitz is a community, a family, a place where people from anywhere in the world can come and be who they are around a positive circle of influence

and can learn how to be the best version of themselves,” Kate said.

“It’s about being someone’s missing puzzle piece.”

Kate has been a vocal campaigner of gay rights for more than a decade and said the support offered by communities such as Pink Fitz was vital in the lives of people in the LGBITQ community.

“People don’t ‘come out’ once.

“It’s a daily occurrence and this can make it a bit tricky when meeting new people for many LGBITQ people.

“Using ‘friend’ and ‘they’ instead of being able to talk openly about their lives and partners can be awkward,” she said.

“Pink Fitz takes away the awkwardness, there are no judgements, no preconceived ideas or assumptions.

“Everyone is just there… just simply wanting to enjoy life and be their best.

“Once you are surrounded and connected with a positive and active circle of influence who also happen to have a lifestyle common ground, there is the basis of success for a happy, healthy life.”

Personal trainer Kate Fitzpatrick is helping connect the LBGTIQ community through fitness.

Bettering your personal best THE Noosa Parkrun is off to a racing start with more than 216 runners from all over the coast taking part in the five kilometre family fun run since its launch in July.

Parkrun is a nation-wide weekly event where anyone can head along and join in the fun.

Event directors Kate Maybe and Sarah Deck said the Noosa Parkrun was already a great success, adding that the runners had completed 348 runs covering a total distance of 1740km, and there had been 65 new personal bests. Last week, there were 64 runners, of whom

Melissa Erbacher and Adam Erbacher visiting from Kawana Parkrun.

54 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 11 September, 2014

28 were first timers and 15 recorded new personal bests.

Parkrun is a free, weekly, timed five-kilometre run for anyone who wants to take part. Families are more than welcome and participants of any fitness level can come and enjoy this fun form of exercise.

“Parkrun isn’t a race, it’s where you can get a time and come along each week to try and do a bit better,” Kate and Sarah said.

Noosa Parkrun is held at the Noosaville State School car park, corner of 75 Beckmans Road, Noosaville, every Saturday from 7am.

A cool evening

Touch delivers mixed bag

COOROY BOWLS THE cooler evenings of Wednesday and Thursday were alive with fun and frivolity as 12 teams enjoyed their initial practice game in the Business Bowls Challenge.

Whilst 14 teams challenged in the High Rollers, JeLS, Bam, 101’s, Kybong Kids, Eumundi Boys, Royal Flush and Rob and Co all had wins. Both groups enjoyed the delicious food prepared by chef Lex. Tuesday Jackpot pairs was a fun activity as the green had been renovated - a good opportunity to re-try the old club bowls… more challenging for some than others.

Saturday Jackpot Pairs’ players enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of bowls. Bettina Winkler and Claire McGrath went home the winners and the jackpot prize money went off yet again. The club is yet to secure a regular sponsor for the game - held every second Thursday of the month.

This month’s challenge will be sponsored by Belvedere Newsagency in Cooroy thanks go to Gary Christensen and family.

Noosa Landscape Pairs (Tuesday 2 September) Results: 1st Joan Pyers/ Jenny Lonie. 2nd M. Heir/ Clare Anderson.

Options Eye Care Men’s Bowls (Wednesday 3 September)

A COOL breeze was no deterrent for some red-hot touch action last Wednesday afternoon.

A mixed bag of results with great sportsmanship and plenty of laughter was the order of the day.

First game up in the under-10 division saw GSLC (boys) just take the win in a thriller against Aussie Rebels who produced a mighty comeback after being down by a couple of touchdowns at half time. Levi, Riley and Armin had great games for their teams.

Pink Storm proved too strong for GSLC (girls) this week with Ella M, Grace and Elle U. showing loads of tal-

Results: 1st Alan Shaw/ Bob Scholfield (2 wins +18).

2nd Terry Finnigan/Steve Power (1 win +10).

Triples: Pat McIvor/Max Lebner/Alan Brookes.

Noosa Radiology Open Triples (Friday 5 September) Results: 1st Connie Johnston/Val Reinicke/Peter Larke. 2nd John Oppy/G. Senstock/Wendy Coman. The Jackpot $41 was won by Simmonds and Mould Teams.

Men’s Pennant (Saturday 6 September) Results: Div 3 - Pacific Paradise 1-72 d Tewantin 1-58 (one rink drawn 22 all). Div 6 - Tewantin 1-42 d Headland 1-27.

There is a meeting at 9am this Sunday for all financial members to hear an appeal from Troy Rowley over a club suspension decision by board members, who over turned a previous decision dealt to the member by the men’s bowls’ committee.

- Heath Costello NOOSA HEADS BOWLS THERE was a good crowd along for the club mixed-pairs final at Noosa on Sunday and they were well entertained by a high-quality match, which went down to the wire… and beyond.

An extra end was required to decide the contest in favour of Jan and Bill Burkitt over Jen and Steve Bowie 19-17 shots.

Next up is the club mixed fours which gets started this Thursday.

The monthly Noosa 1500 was played on 1 September and this open pairs’ event was won by visiting New Zealand-

er Noel Williams who teamed with George Coules. This was the first time they had played together, so it was a fine effort. Winners of the first round losers section were Tewantin bowlers Bryn Whitcombe and Tony Howard.

In men’s pennant the Division 1 side had a brilliant 64-57 win over competition leaders Coolum Beach on Saturday. Division 3 went down in a close contest at Caloundra, while Division 6 lost to Pelican Waters.

Lady bowlers finished their first six rounds on a high, topping the ladder in Division 4 and running second in Division 2. They go into the final’s play-offs this week but did a bit of early celebrating with a river cruise on Tuesday evening… you may have heard them.

Bill Roberts and George Manera took out the Tuesday Men’s pairs with Alan Teale and Bob Ginnaw having the next highest margin.

Wednesday triples’ winners were Daphne Reed, Carol Studley and Gill MacDonald.

As usual, Friday Jackpot Pairs winners were Mal Lloyd and Ron Wallish with runnersup taken by Debbie Austin and Sharyn Briggs.

The triples’ team of Juleen Mayze, Heather Rider and David Nimmo scored on Saturday.

There are still some vacancies for the Laguna Ladies All-Star Fours to be played on Thursday 2 October. To qualify, bowlers need to have won a club championship at some time. Ring NHBC on 5447 3433 for more information.

IT WILL be a sea of Maroon and White at Stockland Stadium at Kawana this Saturday, as Junior Dolphins teams in U12, 13, 14, 16 and 18 age groups join the three senior teams to play in their respective grand finals. The U15s were unlucky to miss out going down by just four points in a highly entertaining and see-sawing battle. Supporters are invited to join in the success of the Dolphins this year with the U12s Grand Final commencing at 8am through to the 1st Grade Premiership match at 4pm.

U12 Noosa Reds 14 d SCGS 0 Both teams came out firing with neither team giving an inch. The heavy battle continued with Grammar continuously pounding the Noosa try line, but the defence held out, and the backs put the side back down the other end of the field giving the forwards one

By MICHAELA WAY A SUCCESFUL game this week for Noosa Eagles U11s team winning 2-1 against Bli Bli Ravens.

Bli Bli scored the first and only goal in the first half with Noosa lifting in the second half to get the two it needed to win the game.

It was a tough game and Bli Bli was a formidable challenge.

Noosa Eagles are now gearing up for the grand final this Saturday against the Buderim Sharks.

Taj Scoble and Ben Francis working hard.

And a great year for Noosa juniors U12A- U12 Noosa Gold played Caloundra Gold in the preliminary final at Maroochydore. Noosa Gold came up against a side that was undefeated all year.

The first half was strong and Noosa Gold was able to match it with them, going into half time 4 - 4. Unfortunately, a few injuries and lack of possession in the second half saw Caloundra run away with the game. Final score, Noosa 8 Caloundra 32.

It was a great season from the boys reaching a Prelimi-

nary Final. All of the boys have improved and are looking forward to the next season.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this season such a great success. To Laurie, Steve, Hilly and Sandi especially, you definitely helped make the job as coach that much easier.

The year 2014 will be seen as the year which provided the boys with so many good memories, a major highlight being the Gladstone trip.

Go the Mighty Pirates.

Bring on footy season 2015.

- Mark Cross U13C- Well boys, you did it. You made the Grand Final.

Brett, Paul and myself could not have asked for anything better and could not be any more proud of you all. Final score, Noosa 36 Maroochydore 24.

In no particular order, special mention goes to: Owain Ritson, Corey Mackenzie, Chase McChesney and Noah Clist.

Nippers program off the ground

By RON LANE FOR those involved with the running of this season's Noosa Seahorse Nippers, the organisation that caters for children with special needs, their season started on Wednesday 3 September in the committee room of the Noosa Surf Club. Chaired by Steve Mawby the director, two meetings were held.

The first at 5pm was for the carers and the second at 6pm was for the helpers.

The group referred to as the carers, are those qualified lifesavers who take the responsibility of working one-on-one with a child. This ensures that they receive the utmost care and consideration. If necessary, two carers can be appointed to work with one child.

After thanking all the volunteers and outlining the program, Mawby emphasized one of the most important directives of all.

“You must remember to give plenty of encouragement, and above all lots of big smiles and high fives.

For the actual activities, the children would be broken up into three groups, the Pinks, Reds and the Green/Orange. Once the groups were settled, they would then be directed to three sectors. For beach events, they were beach flags, the parachute game and tunnel relays.

On entering the water, and here the supervision was very intense, the three categories were kayaks, wading and nipper body boarding.

Then by 9.30am on Saturday, the Seahorse Nippers were registered, the surf conditions on Main Beach perfect, and the season was under way. During the morning, there are those children who for some reason don’t feel inclined to participate. Therefore, it is not uncommon to see their carer just sit on the water’s edge with them using small buckets and spades, to dig holes or build sand castles. The ability to communicate with these special nippers is of the utmost importance and sometimes patience is the key factor. Another thing that is emphasised is to remember that every child is different.

A very encouraging sign for the future was that including Noosa the host club, there were seven clubs represented; Sunshine Beach, Peregian, Marcoola ,Northcliffe, North Burleigh and Coolangatta. Most came to look and learn. One of the representatives from North Burleigh Alena Smith said, “This is a great concept and we are following Noosa's lead. We are working on a pilot program and hope that it will be activated by October. We feel other clubs close by will help and we will soon have our own committee.”

From the Coolangatta club, Christine and Stewart Marshall said, “Our Youth Development officer will put a program together and we will then be consulting with Noosa.

At the close of day, there were 40 children and 50 carers in attendance and also two Smart Pups.

These dogs were brought along by parents and have now become a vital part in the lives of some families.

In thanking the carers and workforce, Steve Mawby said, “This effort shows a strong culture within the club and if we can maintain this, we can only get stronger.”

On Sunday afternoon, the Noosa Surf Club involved itself in yet another youth program when they played host to the All Star Show Band. This band, which was sponsored by Shake-It-Up Music, played a variety of jazz numbers.

The band consisted of 22 students from schools all over the coast and was well received by a large crowd.

“This event is in keeping with our policy of supporting local youth. Other projects are also being considered,” club manager Anton Mogg said.

Noosa club was saddened to hear of the passing of Life Member Ron Dowdle. Ron a master body surfer will be missed by his club mates.

Footy Tipping Congratulations to David Falla of Laguna Signs who took out top spot in the Noosa Today 2014 Footy Tipping competition.

David said he is excited he can now sit back, relax and enjoy watching the rest of the season without worrying about who’s won.

David wins a trip for two to the NRL grand final, including two night accommodation in a four-star Fun for all: the parachute game.

When the Jack are back

By JACK MANGROVE

WITH summer rapidly approaching, the warmer days and nights will return for another year, and with this, the Mangrove Jack action will be hotting up. A lot of people look forward to targeting these aggressive red fish and try to beat their personal best from the previous year.

Trolled hard bodied lures kept nice and close to rocky structures is a surefire way to snag you a Jack. Soft plastics are also a favourite with the latest River2sea paddle vibes working a treat. Elsewhere in the river, whiting have been in good numbers around the River Mouth,

Dog Beach, and Frying Pan with the traditionalist catching good numbers on cured worms and live yabbies.

Flathead are also in good numbers around Weyba creek with Weyba hole holding some larger fish.

Offshore this week has been productive, with Sunshine and North Reefs the stand outs. Snapper, sweet lip and a variety of reef species have all been taken with some larger fish taken on night time missions. Trips a little further afield have also paid dividends. Some larger boats headed up to Double Island and managed to boat some great fish earlier in the week. Tuna are continuing

to feed right throughout the bay with a mixture of longtail and mactuna feeding on bait schools of pilchards and hardy heads.

Beach fishing this week has been excellent with consistent reports of good whiting, bream, dart and a tailor.

The places to go are Noosa’s North Shore around Teewah beaches up to Double Island. The beaches to the south have also produced some nice fish around Sunshine Marcus and Peregian Beaches.

On behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures.

SPORTGOTIGERS

Just go, you good things!

THE Noosa Tigers are heading into the grand final, which is the perfect ending to what can only be described as a stellar year for the club.

Head of the supporters' club, Peter Thynne, has helped raise funds for the club with a number of successful president’s lunches, snaring some of the biggest names in the AFL to come and speak to the often crowded clubhouse.

As the Tigers prepare to face the undefeated Mayne at Caboolture on Saturday, coach James Gellie said he couldn’t be more proud of the team.

“The highlight of the year has been the gradual improvement of the boys and the way they have played,” he said.

“When the season started there was a change to the roles and structure.

They have taken this on board and taken ownership of their new roles.”

Gellie said the team’s cohesion had paid off throughout the season with the team consistently improving and delivering great results on the field.

“To see what they’ve put in and that they get a crack at the grand final is the most rewarding part of the year,” he said.

“My advice would be to take the nerves and use it in a positive way, so long as the guys play their roles and don’t submit to the high pressure.”

Gellie said at the end of the day, the finals are just another game of football and the team needs to take on the challenge, be brave and they will get the just rewards for the effort they put in.

Team captain Peter Trompf said it was exciting to be in the grand final and said his advice to the team was to “own this moment”.

“This is our time,” he said.

Trompf said the highlight of the season was the Tigers’ last home game against Kedron where, despite the heavy rain, dozens of supporters turned out to watch the game.

“It was great to see all the Tiger faithfuls there and the boys really stood up,” he said.

With only two days to go until the final, the Tigers are hard at work preparing for the climax of the season. Go the Tigers!

Tigers storm into Grand final Tiger

talk JULIAN PITTS

The Fiona Winter/PJ Burns Noosa Tigers have secured their position in this year’s QFA North Senior Grand Final with an emphatic 53 point win over Kedron, last Saturday at Caboolture.

It was evident in the early minutes of the game that the Noosa boys had come to play. Their physical intent and physical approach to the contest and willingness to restrict Kedron from scoring opportunity was outstanding.

The Tigers looked much fresher than the week before. Infact right across the board there were no passengers. The only injury concern is youngster Seb Rogers who came from the ground with a suspected broken hand.

Junior Tiger

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.

To keep a highly experienced and skilled side like Kedron to just three goals in such a big game was phenomenal.

Mullens was superb on the last line of defence while Harry Opie again showed why he commands so much respect from his coaching staff and peers alike.

Ryley Buntain was nothing short of super, constantly setting up play and keeping his own very highly rated opponent to only a handful of disposals.

Shane ‘Dogga’ Davis was in everything in the middle while Trompf, McKittrick, Isles and Dempsey continue to prove their midfield worth.

Vice-captain, David Welch, was once again a standout in what has been a brilliant season by the 2011 Noosa Premiership player. Coach James Gellie was again the most dominant forward on the ground finishing with four goals in another top display.

All eyes go to the grand final

against the undefeated Brisbanebased Tigers, Mayne - an overriding favourite after belting Noosa in the major semi two weeks ago.

However, stranger things have happened in footy and they will face a team that has exactly what it takes to curtail their winning ways and cause the upset of the season on the biggest stage. Trompf, Welch, Winter, McKittrick, Duke, Wallace, Davis and Isles have all been to the well before and know what it’s like to win a senior flag.

Experience counts in what will be a fantastic finale to a very enjoyable season.

Gellie and his coaching staff will surely have a few unplayed cards up their sleeve for the big one and I’m sure a massive pro-Noosa crowd will make the journey down to Caboolture to witness the clash.

Supporter buses will be organised so, for all information regarding this weekend’s festivities, simply Google

Noosa Tigers and find it on our website.

Unfortunately our reserve grade team bowed out to Maroochydore in a very even Preliminary Final clash by 15 points. Congrats to reserves coach Rob Purvis for what has been a great year for the ressies, with names like Fulton, Hughson, Duke, Robilliard and Tickner still playing great footy and putting their names up for Senior selection for this week’s big one.

I’d expect a big crowd down at training tonight to watch our Tigers go through their final paces and of course the all-important selection process.

Gee it doesn’t get much more exciting than this at Tigerland. And by 5pm Saturday, 22 young Noosa Tigers will have etched their names in history once again, walking with that air of invincibility that comes with winning a senior flag.

Go tigers Cheers, Pittsy

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

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.

Canoe club kicks off with gold

By JO SEARLE

today

NOOSA Outrigger Canoe Club is off to a flying start this competitive season, winning gold in outrigger canoe (OC) half races in the first events.

The club’s OC6 teams are also in training for the start of their competitive season which starts with Noosa Outrigging Canoe Club (NOCC) hosting the first event of the season – the Noosa River Race on 11 October.

Outrigger canoeing is for most ages, and NOCC is offering opportunities for interested people to come and try the sport.

This is a chance to enjoy a paddle in the Noosa River in one of the six-seater outrigger canoes.

The come-and-try sessions will be held from 9am to midday on 21 September, meeting at NOCC, Chaplin Park, Mill Street Noosaville (across the bridge from the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club).

NOCC members were also at the Noosa Farmers’ Markets on Sunday 31 August displaying a canoe and answering questions. Outrigger canoeing is a fun way to get fit and an opportunity to meet great people.

NOCC supports both competitive and social paddlers, from teens to over 70s, so come along and find out more.

Pre-registration is preferable to avoid disappointment. Contact Brian Rogers on 0458 629 025 or at brian.rogers45@ yahoo.com.au.

NOOSA’S BEST SPORTS COVERAGE

Keeping the boat afloat THE Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club’s Youthsail Program is calling for sponsorship, offering local businesses the chance to name a dinghy.

The Youthsail program is one of the largest of its kind in Australia and offers over 300 lessons to the community, including schools and children aged 6 and up.

The after school FunSail program is a big hit, as well as the annual Sunshine Coast inter-school dinghy regatta.

More the merrier at Noosa Sevens

By JONATHON HOWARD ORGANISERS of the Noosa International Sevens have announced another 36 teams are bound for Noosa in October, following on the coattails of 19 full international teams including Pacific powerhouses New Zealand, Australia, Fiji and Samoa.

The new teams mean there are now 55 teams competing across 137 games of quick fire seven-a-side rugby union.

There’s going to be so much action that the festival will run to a third day for the first time - and even then, it will be tight with around nine hours of competition each day, The first game between Fiji and Papua New Guinea will kick off at 8am on Friday 3 October, and it will be near dawn-to-dusk competition from that moment until the referee calls time on the grand final late in the afternoon on Sunday 5 October.

This year’s festival will incorporate the Oceania Sevens tournaments with 12 men’s and 7 women’s national teams competing not just for honour but for places in the International Rugby Board’s World Series.

And with Rugby Sevens making its debut as an Olympic sport at Rio in less than two years, many of the players at Noosa will be out to impress.

Event director Dene Brooks guaranteed the long weekend would offer something for everyone with off-field entertainment and catering adding to the Sevens carnival atmosphere.

“The first day will be devoted to the men’s and women’s Oceania Sevens with the teams playing in seeded pool groups. The results of those games will determine the finals programme for the Oceania Sevens throughout Saturday,” he said.

“We’ll also start the pool rounds for our own Noosa International

The Noosa Sevens Tournament will be closely watched as the world of rugby union edges closer to the Rio Olympics next year.

Sevens tournaments on the Saturday with the finals and the presentation of the Stan Bisset Cup to the winners of the grand final on Sunday.”

While attention will focus inevitably on the international giants preparing for the IRB World Sevens Series and their debut at the 2016 Olympic games in Rio, Mr Brooks

believes the 16 men’s and eight women’s teams in Noosa’s own tournaments will put on an exciting show.

Men’s teams for this year’s Noosa International Sevens include last year’s winners Iconz and runners-up King’s College along with regular heavyweights Sunnybank

and Fiji-based Sid Vaka.

The Southern Lions are coming from West Australia, joining other interstate teams including the Country King Browns from Darwin and the Sydney-based Indigenous squad assembled as Lloyd McDermott Rugby.

Brisbane teams also include Easts

Tigers, UQ Red Heavies and Tribe 7s while the Gold Coast will be represented by The Rugby Academy.

Host club Noosa and the Sunshine Coast Stingrays will fly the local flag, and there will be considerable interest in the specialist squad assembled under the Matai Newstar banner.
