The end of an era for the bowlers at Noose Heads Bowls Club.

Picture: BARRY ALSOP, EYES WIDE OPEN IMAGES

It’s last rinks AFTER the heavy rains of Friday the sun shone brightly on Noosa Heads Bowls Club (NHBC) for the club’s official last day of play on Saturday.

Club members gathered to play their final games on the greens and to commemorate the 45-year history of the club with an official closing ceremony that included speeches, presentations, afternoon tea and a ceremonial ‘last bowl’ by the longest-serving member and former Noosa Mayor Bert Wansley.

Some tears were shed but laughter also echoed over the greens as the members recalled some of the club’s finest moments and celebrated the lifelong friendships that had been formed.

Although the NHBC will officially vacate its Noosa Junction premises later this month, 45 years to the day since it opened, members will continue to play the game they love at other clubs including Tewantin-Noosa, Coolum, Nambour, Cooroy and others.

Reunion events have already been planned to ensure the NHBC legacy lives on.

The club’s history will also be preserved at Noosa Library with club photos, memorabilia and history documented and archived for future reference.

The club would very much like to thank their members (past and present), sponsors, visitors and the general public also for their support over the years.

Mother’s Day

AS THE deadly storm tore through communities north of Brisbane on Friday, Noosa was lucky to miss the worst of the weather.

Families and homes were left devastated when 360mm of rain was dumped in 24 hours over the Brisbane and north Brisbane areas, but Noosa escaped with minimal damage.

SES Noosa deputy local controller Carol Watkins said the SES received 10 call-outs on Friday for fallen trees, sandbags and damaged roofs in what she described as an incredibly late and unusual storm event.

“We spent Friday morning making sandbags, so we have about 1000 there ready for the next time we need them,” she said.

“We were very, very lucky to avoid the worst of the weather.”

The day following the storm saw the sun shining and temperatures of 23 degrees, plus large swell that enticed the most experienced surfers.

Noosa Council development planner Jack Lewis was among those making the most of the rare large swell, taking to the waves at Sunshine Beach on Saturday.

Jack said the swell was so big the junior club round of the Noosa Boardriders Club had to be postponed.

“But we are keen to see all the young grommits out there on the 17 May and the Shotgun Shootout on 23 May,” Jack said.

Noosa’s an open book

By JOLENE OGLE NOOSA Council isn’t afraid to air its laundry, dirty or clean, according to Councillor Tony Wellington who has hit back at critics of council’s decision-making process.

Cr Wellington, who has sat on both Noosa Council and the Sunshine Coast Council, said he is in a unique position to compare each council’s approach to decision-making.

“I see it as chalk and cheese,” he said.

“The Sunshine Coast Council (SCC) was far more secretive in its decision-making.

“Noosa Council, by contrast, is happy to hang out its laundry, be it dirty or clean.”

Cr Wellington said the meeting systems themselves are evidence of the two different approaches, with SCC holding a private agenda review meeting before every ordinary meeting compared to Noosa Council who holds three open meetings prior to the ordinary meeting.

“This (SCC) preliminary meeting is not open to scrutiny by residents or the media,” Cr Wellington said.

“At the agenda review, councillors get to question staff and thus, much of the process

that leads towards a final decision is completely hidden.”

All preliminary meetings in the lead up to the Noosa Council ordinary meeting are open to the public, including the Infrastructure and Services Committee, Planning and Organisation Committee and General Committee meetings. “(The public and the media) can witness the questioning of staff as well as the debate that leads to a final decision,” Cr Wellington said.

But Cr Wellington said what is even more telling of the differences between the two councils, is the number of items that each council holds “in confidence”, which means onlookers are removed from the room.

“In 2013, when I was on the SCC, we dealt with 285 items in council meetings.

“Of those, 114 or 40 per cent were dealt with in confidential sessions,” he said.

“Compare that to the first year of the new Noosa Council.

“Here, 276 items were dealt with and only seven – or a measly 2.5 per cent – were discussed in confidential session.”

Cr Wellington said its clear Noosa Council has chosen to allow full scrutiny of its processes, with only issues involving legal proceedings held in confidence.

“On one occasion we had to deal with a land purchase matter in closed session… other than that, everything we decide is on public view,” he said.

“By comparison, the SCC contemplated all manner of issues behind closed doors, not just legal matters.”

Cr Wellington said it was time to make it clear how open Noosa Council is when it comes to decision-making.

“Readers of the letters page of our local papers will have noted that Noosa Council’s regular critics like to imply that our council is making secretive decisions and concealing financial matters,” he said.

“Yet almost every decision we make is open to scrutiny, with departmental reports and financial performance reports appearing regularly in meeting agendas that are available on the website.”

They’re running against disease

By JOLENE OGLE FOUR local mums will run a 65-kilometre relay this weekend to help raise funds and awareness of Cystic Fibrosis.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) affects the lungs and digestive system and with no cure, more research is needed to help the one in 2500 babies born with CF in Australia.

According to Cystic Fibrosis Queensland, one baby is born with CF every four days, but local mums are on the run to help draw attention to the disease.

Three-years-ago, local mums Donna O’Neill and Laura Stoll decided to use their love of running for a good cause and became involved with the 65 kilometre for Cystic Fibrosis relay.

The women created a team of four mums and ran the relay on a treadmill at the Jetts gym, Peregian Springs, raising funds for Cystic Fibrosis Queensland.

Donna said exercise is a major component of the treatment for CF and said the run is all about setting a good example for their children.

“We want to encourage the

kids to take part, be active,” she said.

“Being active is so important for people who have CF.” Now in its fourth year, the 65 kilometre relay run has expanded to include professional, family and community teams where anyone is welcome to get down to Jetts, Peregian Springs, on Saturday 9 May from 8am and contribute to the 65 kilometre relay run.

Everyone is welcome to take part and entry is only $20, with all proceeds going directly to Cystic Fibrosis research, plus you can run as much or as little as you like.

“We don’t care if people crawl it,” Donna said.

“It’s all about getting involved and helping the teams reach the 65 kilometre.”

Runners can also mix business with pleasure and join the run outside Dukes Deli in Sunshine Beach where a treadmill will be set-up outside the café and runners will be enticed with the lure of coffee.

Project Vietnam milestone

By KATIE DE VERTEUIL FOR the past 12 years, Noosa local Ian Bath has devoted time to help rebuild rural communities in Vietnam.

He is one of a group of Australians involved with Project Vietnam Inc (PVI).

PVI is a registered humanitarian aid organisation involved in the development of health care and education systems in Vietnam and Cambodia.

Celebrating 25 years this year, PVI has now extended into numerous medical and building programs with some projects including refurbishment of communal health stations in rural areas, renovation of living quarters at schools and selected kindergartens and orphanages in rural areas, the establishment of education programs in hospitals, and supply of medical equipment and textbooks.

Each year Project Vietnam sends 140 wheelchairs to Vietnam and Cambodia.

Ian has recently returned from his last project, where he and 29 volunteers from across the Sunshine Coast travelled to rural communities just outside Hanoi.

“We renovate, refurbish rural

medical centres, kindergartens and orphanages, put on new roofs, ceilings, windows and doors, paint and fix electrical circuits,” Ian said.

“These people in the rural areas of Vietnam are living in conditions of 200 years ago.

“Their everyday lives are spent striving to feed themselves.

“Things are very, very basic. Here in Australia we are very lucky with what we have and it’s good to be able to give back.”

While there is a great sense of satisfaction after the completion of each project, Ian admits it is the social side that draws so many of the volunteers back.

“When the job is finished, there is a handover ceremony where the locals dress in national costume and it is a very important occasion,” Ian said.

“Despite the complete language barrier, their body language says it all – how grateful they are for our work.“ The bottom line though is that most of us do it for the fun of it – we really have a great time.”

Ian said that no special skills or age groups were required to participate, and new volunteers were always more than welcome.

“Anyone willing to pitch in and give a hand is welcome to come join our team,” Ian said.

“We are always looking for volunteers for annual March projects in Cambodia and Vietnam, so for a further insight to Project Vietnam please jump onto our site www.projectvietnam.com.”

PVI is based on the Sunshine Coast and meets in Mooloolaba on the second Wednesday of each month. For more information on upcoming projects with PVI, contact Ian Bath on 5403 7931 or visit wwww.projectvietnam.com.

Each year Noosa local Ian Bath joins a team of Australians helping to rebuild rural communities in Vietnam through Project Vietnam Inc.

Tough living below the line

By KATIE DE VERTEUIL TWO dollars – it certainly doesn’t buy much these days, especially in the supermarket.

Rosie Bauld, however is relying solely on the value of this humble gold coin as payment for her meals each day this week. The Noosa resident will be joining thousands of Australians participating in Live Below the Line 2015.

The annual fund-raising campaign run by Australia’s largest youth-run organisation, Oaktree, raises much-needed funds to provide education in Cambodia to help people learn the skills to be able to have a better lifestyle.

The challenge involves spending $10 on food items to last five days (so $2 a day). The rules are that participants must buy every single item out of this allowance and are not allowed to use stuff in their pantry or pick from their garden (unless you add this cost into your budget).

There is, however no limit on water.The $2 daily amount was chosen as this is the Australian equivalent of the extreme poverty line.

This is the first year Rosie has

participated in the initiative, having joined up after reading about it on Facebook.

“When I read about the organisation and the great work that they do to highlight extreme poverty, I decided I should be involved,” Rosie said.

“I am passionate about education as a means to make significant change.”

Rosie says the challenge will also make her more grateful for the lifestyle she has. So far Rosie has managed to raise a total of $230 and hopes to bring that to $400.

Chatting to Noosa Today on Monday Rosie, who would usually spend $100 a week on groceries, is not finding the sacrifice too difficult so far.

“I shopped around for bargains,” Rosie said.“I bought most of my ingredients at Aldi and I have plenty for two meals a day.

“I also went to Woolworths at the end of the day looking for some markdown bargains.

“The first day was good – I had to leave for Brisbane at 5am, so did not get to cook my porridge, so I just drank water.

“As my spending was $9.32 – I stopped at a roadside fruit shop

and bought a banana for 25 cents.

“It was a little blessing! I looked forward to my vegetable stir-fry and brown rice.

Rosie is however missing her morning coffee. To help Rosie reach her total, visit https://www.livebelowtheline.com.au/me/rosie_shiels.

Ashleigh Morris while travelling in the Indonesian region of West Papua.

Wayward teen tops waste world

By JOLENE OGLE AT just 26, USC graduate Ashleigh Morris is poised to take on the waste management world.

Ashleigh has recently landed an invitation to study Honours through research at the University of New South Wales, plus an internship with an innovative world-leading waste management company.

But it hasn’t been an easy journey for the former Coolum Coast Care volunteer.

“I left school at 14, when I was a wayward teen,” she said.

“I’ve had my struggles, and I never thought I would be where I am.”

Ashleigh said she left school as

Youth

positive a “troubled teen” and began a career in hospitality, before completing her certificate in commercial cookery and working as a chef for 10 years.

“Although I enjoyed the career path, I felt I had the potential to contribute to the health and well-being of the environment,” she said.

And so her passion for the environment grew. Ashleigh joined the band of volunteers at the Coolum Coast Care Group and said there was little in life that was more wonderful than seeing the benefits of caring for

the environment.

“I love being outside with the group, sitting on the dunes, enjoying the breeze while we pull invasive plant species,” she said.

“We would plant back native species and watch as the birds returned.

It was the best place to volunteer.”

Ashleigh took her first steps into university education during the summer of 2011 where she enrolled in the entry program, Tertiary Preparation Pathway, and gained a GPA of 6.5 out of 7.

Gaining confidence, Ashleigh was accepted into a bachelor of environmental health science, where she went on to be awarded the Prime Minister’s Australia Asia Un-

dergraduate Award in 2012 in recognition of her research proposal on waste management in Indonesia.

In 2014, Ashleigh received a personal invitation from Professor Veena Sahajwalla to undertake Honours at the University of New South Wales and in 2015, Ashleigh received the highest award from USC, the Chancellors Medal, in recognition of her outstanding academic achievements.

But the humble research student says anyone can achieve their dreams, “they just have to put one foot in front of the other”.

“It will all fall into place if you work hard and start taking steps,” she said.

“I know people out there will

think they’re not smart enough for university, but you can achieve anything you want when you put your mind to it.

“They may not believe in themselves, but I do. I believe in them.”

Ashleigh said it was important for young people to know that “wayward” years were common, and people shouldn’t feel bad for taking time to figure out what they wanted to do in life.

“Don’t be hard on yourself if you have some years as a wayward teen.

It’s normal,” she said.

“You need to take the time to find what makes you feel good and then you’ll be good at it. Just put one foot in front of the other.”

TALK about about the difference between night and day, or going from the penthouse to the outhouse.

I had it all last weekend. I wake up Saturday the Duchess is in hospital and it won’t be long before the addition to the royal family is here.

It’s a girl, and for the first time in a few weeks the front covers of every paper in the national arena had a good story.

The news of executions of the Bali smugglers was now in past tense and at least the Aussie royalists were smiling from ear to ear.

I am afraid the births of George and his sister Charlotte will dent the Republic push and put it on the backburner for quite a few years.

Plus, while Queen Elizabeth remains mobile, the idea of a standalone Australia will not happen.

So on to Sunday… coffee, read the papers and get the latest on the Fight of the Century and of course the rescheduled trans-Tasman League clash.

Not ringside but good enough with the big screen shoulder to shoulder at the Pub Mooloolaba.

All the movie stars arrive smiling and why wouldn’t they, probably the only ones who could afford the $100,000 front row seats.

Thankfully the camera shot included Beyonce, she was the only woman in the male-dominated audience, ready to scream the house down.

In my opinion, while the opening introductions built up the atmosphere, we were sadly let down by the very boring national anthem sung

by Jamie Foxx.

Surely Maria Carey, Beyonce or even Australia’s Julie Anthony would have riveted the 12,000 packed house.

The fight was boring and the decision wrong – as I felt Pacquiao had done enough in his aggressive style to sneak home.

What amazed but didn’t surprise me, that the three ringside judges

were all American and no Internationals.

I expected being a world title fight, the officials would not all come from California, you always see five different judges at Olympic or Commonwealth Games.

Anyway Floyd remains undefeated and will try and equal the great heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano’s feat of 49 straight victories.

The big plus for me was seeing boxing at its best, the colour, pageantry and one on one different styles with two blokes from completely different backgrounds, pounding each other in front of a world audience.

I am sure there were many nonfight lovers seated in pubs and clubs around the country, enjoying the sport at its best.

So off home I go, to brighten myself up and cheer on the Aussies in the Test against New Zealand.

Gus Gould kept ramming home the point the locals are too old, and some new blood needs to be introduced, especially with the World Cup looming.

I don’t agree, which is not unusual with most things Phil says, I think they were just over done.

The Kangaroos had peaked for the Friday night clash, postponed and the boys just went off the boil.

It happens in high level sport, just ask our Olympic athletes who prepare like clockwork for their events.

Until next time.

just got so much better!

Theatre stays silent

By JOLENE OGLE AN application to build two industrial sheds next to a heritage listed silent theatre looks likely to be given the green light at Noosa Council’s meeting tonight.

In a report to councillors, council officers recommended the approval of the application that would see two light industrial buildings built next to the boundary shared by the Majestic Theatre, Pomona.

The report states that concerns were raised about noise from industrial buildings given that the Majestic Theatre is a silent theatre.

One of the conditions of the building approval includes an acoustic report to be submitted by the applicants to the council before works can begin.

The two buildings are expected to house “small-scale service-type industries” and councillors are expected to approve the building application at Thursday’s meeting at Cooran Hall.

The proposed development of the Cooroy Myall Street service station has also been held over to the meeting on 7 May, with councillors disagreeing with the council officers’ recommendation to refuse the application.

In a report to the Planning and Organisation Committee meeting on 28 April, council staff recommended that the council refuse the developer’s application for a material change of use from rural and water catchment to mixed-use development, citing a number of “significant conflicts with the Noosa Plan” as the reason for refusal.

The report also states that the development, which would include a fast food restaurant, convenience store, tourist park, self-storage facility and car wash, would disperse and fragment

The proposed development plans for the Factory Street site in Pomona.

The report concludes that the application for a mixed-use development on rural zoned land within Noosa’s water supply catchment area “raises complex planning issues”.

In the general committee meeting

on 4 May, councillors were divided on the issue and decided to hold the decision over to the ordinary meeting to allow time to discuss the application with the applicant.

The ordinary meeting will be held at the Cooran Hall on Thursday 7 May from 6pm.

New hospital interns are just the medicine HOSPITAL services in the Noosa region are set to receive a boost following an announcement from Wide Bay MP and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss.

This week Mr Truss announced new internships for Australian-trained international medical graduates who will be a “welcome addition to the Noosa region”.

The new interns will supplement the local health services during their training at the Noosa Ramsay Hospital and will be funded through the Australian Government’s 2015 Commonwealth Internship (CMI) initiative.

“As well as providing valuable professional experience, these internships will showcase the attractiveness of the Noosa lifestyle,” Mr Truss said.

“Noosa is a great local community and I am sure this experience will create a favourable impression that will encourage these trainee medical professionals to return, once they achieve their qualifications.”

This cohort of interns will be part of 81 Australian-trained international medical graduates who will commence internships this year in hospitals and regional communities throughout Australia.

“Many regional and rural communities throughout Australia rely on doctors from overseas to support their local health care needs,” Mr Truss said.

An increase in interns is expected to help bolster the Noosa Hospital.

“While some interns will be based in capital cities, all graduates will undertake one or more rotations to practise in a regional or rural setting.”

The Australian Government has committed $40 million over four years from 2013 to 2014 to support the placement of up to 100 additional medical interns each year through the CMI initiative.

Mr Truss said participants in the CMI initiative are required to complete a 48 week return of service period in a regional, rural or remote location.

“We know that some interns from last year’s CMI placement have gone on to continue their careers in regional areas after completing their return of service period, which is a great outcome for those communities and doctors,” Mr Truss said.

“The Government will continue to work to improve health care services in regional communities such as Noosa and is committed to getting doctors to areas where they are most needed.”

Gift wrapping for you, and for mum NOOSA Civic Shopping Centre is helping give back to the community with a charity gift wrapping service available from now until Saturday 4pm.

For just a gold coin donation, shoppers can have their mum’s perfect present covered in a selection of luxurious gift wrappings with all proceeds going to the Beautiful You organisation.

Debbie said her ultimate dream is to create a retreat for women who are going through the challenge of cancer.

“I want to set-up a retreat for women so it’s somewhere to go when they’re not feeling 100 per cent,” she said.

“It’s a place for time out from everything.”

Debbie said she is looking for anyone who can help her realise her dream such as providing land, sponsorship or even a building that could be used for the retreat.

MOTHER’SDAY

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Soul of a great mum Mother’s Day on Sunday 10 May is a day to show mum just how much she means. Noosa Today went on the search for Noosa’s best mum and we found some great mums in the community!

TO HELP celebrate the wonderful mums of Noosa, Noosa Today has a Soul Sista prize pack to givea way with a large and small coffee body scrub and a large bag of organic, fair trade coffee. Before the winner is announced, here are a few more of the wonderful entries.

“My mum is amazing as she has dealt with many difficulties in her life and her heart is strong and full of love.”

Judith Ahern, Noosa.

“I would like to nominate my mum, Georgia. She is Noosa’s, no the world’s, best mum. She had me very young but she has always been there for me, caring for me and my brother. We are very lucky to have her as our mum. When we were growing up, my brother and I were both involved with numerous community and sporting groups and mum would get up on a Saturday and Sunday to drive us to the sports field or a friend’s house. And she would always stay and watch us play, even in the rain. You couldn’t find a more dedicated mum than ours!

Junie Polden, Tewantin.

And the winner is Brenda, nominated by Tina Eterovic.

“Brenda isn’t my actual Mum, but she’s been a big part of my life now for over 15 years. She is the best mum-in-law anyone could ask for. Without her helping me daily, I wouldn’t be able to go to work as much as I can. She watches the kids so my husband and I can go out for dinners.

She’s given me the best husband in the world as she’s raised him well. I love her like she’s my own mum and just wish she could see just how much she means to me.

Saying those words “I love you” just isn’t enough sometimes. I love you Brenda and thank you for always being there for me when I need you.”

Tina Eterovic, Noosa.

Congratulations, Brenda. You have won a Soul Sista Mother’s Day pack which includes a large and small coffee body scrub and a large bag of Fairtrade organic coffee beans to help kick start the day.

Brenda has won a Soul Sista Mother’s Day pack that includes a large bag of its delicious coffee body scrub that will leave skin silky smooth and smelling divine. To find out more about Soul Sista, visit www.soulsista.com.au.

MOTHER’SDAY

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Family rises above disease

By KATIE DE VERTEUIL WHILE taking on the adventure of motherhood can be intimating for any new parent, for Sonia Marshall the journey has been as challenging as it has been rewarding.

In 2005 Sonia gave birth to her first child, Evie.There were, however, complications.

Just six weeks in, the single mum was informed that her beautiful new daughter had cystic fibrosis (CF).

The most common life threatening genetic condition in Australia, CF affects many of the body’s systems, including lungs and digestion.

While improved medication and treatments have seen life expectancy extend considerably, a cure is yet to be uncovered.

As heartbreaking and unfair as the circumstances may have seemed at the time, Sonia was determined from the start that Evie’s condition would not define her or her daughter.

Indeed, the now mum of two has done everything in her power to ensure that she, Evie and second daughter Liv (6) live their lives to the fullest.

Along with her duties as a mother, Sonia has managed to find the time to complete a PhD at Sunshine Coast University, be involved in many groups in the Noosa community, particularly in environmental endeavours,

and is currently working part time in local government policy.

Sonia’s work hours will, however, lessen as Evie’s condition requires more and more care.

“As time goes on Evie’s lungs and digestive system will begin to degenerate, her condition’s worsening as she ages,” Sonia said.

“She will have less and less independence with things becoming more difficult, even simple things like walking will be a struggle.”

On a “good day” Sonia gets Evie out of bed about 5am and they complete the one and a half hours of physiotherapy she requires each morning before school.

Evie must also take her medications and nebulisers as well as completing all the normal tasks required to get ready for school.

Helping Liv get ready too Sonia drops the girls of to school and heads to work.

“We’re always a little late,” she admits.

After school, Evie’s treatment regime is on again with another one and a half hours of physiotherapy, medications and nebulisers.

While Evie is able to eat normal solid foods, because her body is working so hard to keep her breathing she struggles to put on weight and so since

she was four has had a feeding peg inserted for 10 hours every night.

“I don’t stop running around,” Sonia said.

“It really is such a balancing act dividing my attention between my two daughters and ensuring that both of them get everything they need and more.

“Liv not only needs my attention, too, but she also needs added support as she, too, is worried about her sister.

“Sometimes it will come to 9pm at night and Liv is still craving attention so I’ll spend an hour just with her.”

Ever humble, Sonia said she was no superhero, though sometimes she certainly feels like one.

“I’m far from perfect,” Sonia said, “every now and then I’ll send the girls off to school with the wrong uniform or things like that, but these things just happen.

“Sometimes I do joke with the kids about wearing my undies outside my pants because I’m a bit of a ‘superhero’, but I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without the strong support network of family and friends and the local community.”

Sonia will be among the many Noosa locals participating in this year’s 65 kilometre run and walk for organ donation and against cystic fibrosis.

Mum in Profile: Sonia Marshall Age: 40 Profession: Environmental management Greatest passion: Sustainability and the environment What do you see as your greatest personal achievement to date?

First and foremost it would be raising two beautiful daughters. Secondly it would be completing a PhD and having a great career.

Who inspires you?

My daughter Evie. How she handles her conditions is just remarkable. She is always smiling no matter what. She is such a positive thinker. In second place I would have to say the rest of the cystic fibrosis community - they are amazing people with so much courage, strength, hope and faith.

What is the biggest challenge you face as a single mum?

I think the biggest challenge is remembering to care for the carer. Often I need to remind myself that if I fall down the kids fall down, so I have to be conscious to stop and take a breath and while it feels selfish, take that time for myself whenever I can.

Do you have any advice for someone newly inducted into the world of motherhood?

Take the time out when you can. To mothers of someone with a chronic illness, I would tell them to not let the illness define them. It doesn’t own you or your child. Please live life to the fullest and make sure your family lives out their dreams.

Local mum Sonia with her two beautiful daughters Evie and Liv. What do you love most about Noosa?

The people in the community and the beautiful natural environment.

If you could change one thing about Noosa what would it be?

I honestly can’t think of anything off the top of my head. Noosa is a wonderful place.

Please name one thing on your bucket list: A cure for cystic fibrosis or at least a way to extend the lives of those with the condition.

What is something most people don’t know about you?

When I was in high school I was the Queensland state girls’ trap shooting champion. It’s certainly not something I would ever do again but I went in because all the boys said it was something the girls couldn’t do and I wanted to prove a point.

None of the boys at our school were champions so it was proven.

Knowing your choices

retire today LIFE STARTS NOW

Thinking about retirement?

Plan now to safeguard the future.

Plan now for future income A LOCAL financial planner has warned that compulsory superannuation contributions are not enough to safeguard retirement for Noosa residents.

Rob McGregor, of Holman McGregor Financial Services, said recent data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) showed that almost half of those retired were forced into retirement, and should serve as a warning to those wanting to retire when they choose and with their own financial resources.

The ABS Retirement and Retirement Intentions survey found the average age for retirement is 58 for men and 50 for women, and while that sounded great, nearly half of those retired were forced into retirement by circumstances not of their own choice.

The data found 25 per cent of men and 21 per cent of women

“

The survey also found most people are forced to retire before they’re ready and they don’t have enough money to maintain their preretirement standard of living …

had to retire from work due to sickness, injury or disability, while 10 per cent of men and women found no work was available and 10 per cent had to leave the workforce to care for others.

The statistics showed less than 10 per cent of people retired when they wanted to and with enough money for their retirement, while 51 per cent of all those retired said their main

source of incomes was the aged pension.

With the pension age increasing to 67-years-old, the pension rate just over $30,000 for a couple and $20,000 for a single person and most people spending $50,000 before retirement, the outcome is looking grim.

“Compulsory superannuation is helping somewhat, but it is not enough,” Mr McGregor said.

“In the survey, one third of people received a lump sum for their super and used it to pay off their mortgage.

“The survey also found most people are forced to retire before they’re ready and they don’t have enough money to maintain their pre-retirement standard of living.”

Mr McGregor said the only way to avoid these pitfalls was to plan and take action as early as possible.

“A good financial adviser can help you work out how much you will need in retirement and what actions you need to take to build the investments and superannuation you will need,” he said.

“There’s no time like the present.”

IF YOU have retired or are thinking about retiring, it’s time to stay informed about what is best for you and your nest egg.

With increasing uncertainty about government rules relating to superannuation, AIR believes it is important for all retires to be informed about the current political and financial situation.

Becoming a member of Noosa Branch of the Association of Independent Retirees (AIR) is one way of keeping up-to-date on the latest developments in the retirement sector as AIR is the peak body representing the views of all self-funded retirees to government at all levels, while remaining non-political.

As well as providing a united voice, AIR also holds regular retirement planning seminars with the latest held on Saturday 2 May with keynote speaker Noel Whittaker encouraging retirees to “maintain a strong voice”.

Mr Whittaker stressed the importance for all retirees to have financial knowledge whether their money is in a Self-Managed Super Fund or in a commercial fund.

Both members of a couple need to understand how their retirement is financed or where to get expert help.

Whether retirees are a couple or single it is vital to have the correct legal documents (will, power of attorney, health directives) in order and that these are easily accessible when needed.

AIR Noosa president Bernie Treston said that as baby boomers approached their retirement they were faced with some of the most important financial decisions of their life.

“A wrong decision could lead to a retiree paying tax they could otherwise avoid or not being aware that they are eligible for a part pension,” he said.

“Such mistakes can have a catastrophic effect on their long-term retirement finances.”

The other specialist speakers were Greg Barrie from Centrelink, who outlined what the government offers retirees. The final speaker, Rob McGregor from Holman McGregor Financial Services, spoke about how to deal with a professional, independent financial planner. He stressed the importance of seeking advice or information even if your money is in a commercial super fund.

AIR has over 7000 members in 60 branches across Australia. The Noosa branch has served the local community for 22 years and is one of the largest branches in Queensland with over 250 members.

The group’s next general meeting will be at the South Pacific Resort, 179 Weyba Road, Noosaville, at 9.45am for a 10am start, on Thursday 14 May. Visitors are very welcome to come and see us in action.

The latest edition of the Age Pension Guide is now out to help you enjoy retirement.

Keeping asthma in check

People can get asthma for the first time later in their lives, but the condition is treatable.

Check with your doctor for more information. the latest toll of 389 in 2013. But he warns that there is no room for complacency.

“The drop in asthma deaths is due to the ongoing education of health care professionals, the community and patients on the latest science in asthma management, including tools like the recently updated Australian Asthma Handbook,” he said.

“However, every death is a tragedy and the new data should be a major wake-up call, especially among newly diagnosed adults, or those who suspect they may have developed the potentially life-threatening condition later in life.

“Asthma can’t be cured but it can be controlled with asthma preventer and reliever medication and by following an up-to-date asthma action plan either in hard copy or on the Asthma Buddy app, prepared with your doctor.”

How to do it – your way THE latest edition of the Age Pension Guide is now available through the Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss’s office.

Mr Truss said the guide was popular with local pensioners, because of the simple way it explained the terms and conditions that applied to the Age Pension.

“The Age Pension rules can be confusing and complicated for many people. This guide is designed in an easy to use format to help pensioners understand their entitlements,” Mr Truss said.

“It also reassures pensioners that despite misleading claims to the con-

trary, there have been no cuts to pensions by the Coalition Government.

The Age Pension will continue to increase twice per year, as it has done in the past, when payment rates are updated on 20 March and 20 September.”

Mr Truss said pensioners were also better off because they continued to receive the carbon tax compensation even though Labor’s carbon tax had been abolished – saving the average household $550 a year.

“The guide provides important updates on income and asset tests, as well as deeming and other provisions, which are adjusted from time to time,” he said.

“These changes can affect the

amount of assistance that pensioners are entitled to receive and it is helpful for people to have access to the latest information about the support that is available, and where it is available from.

“There is also useful information in the guide about a range of other issues relating to pensions, including the pension bonus and work bonus schemes, the carer payment and allowance, as well as health and discount cards that are available to pensioners.”

The guide is available free of charge and can be ordered by telephoning 1300 301 968, or downloaded from the website www.warrentruss.com.au.

NEW data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has revealed more than 57 per cent of asthma deaths occurred in people aged 75 and over.

In total, 389 deaths were recorded in 2013, affecting 248 females and 141 males. Overall the asthma death toll dropped by five people, compared with 2012 data.

The majority of deaths occurred in New South Wales (122), with a similar number of deaths to the previous year.

Victoria saw a drop in asthma deaths (from 113 down to 92), while Queensland deaths increased (from 74 up to 85).

The 2013 ABS data released today also found that women over 75 years old were two to three times more likely to die from asthma compared to their male counterparts.

Chair of the National Asthma Council Australia and respiratory physician Dr Jonathan Burdon AM said although up to one in seven older Australians had asthma, about half of all people with asthma aged 75 years and over had not been diagnosed by a doctor.

“Contrary to popular belief, people can get asthma for the first time later in their lives,” he said.

“Without proper attention and management, new-onset asthma can be as deadly as long-standing asthma in adults if ignored. It is essential that those who experience asthma signs and symptoms take action, and not dismiss or confuse them as simply due to ‘old age’.”

Dr Burdon said that asthma deaths in Australia had dropped significantly over the years, from a peak of 964 deaths in 1989 to

A bit batty

Discrimination

K. FEILDEN again ... yet another year and K. Fielden is once again complaining about the bats. The same old thing, deafening noise, stench is appalling, faecal pollution, public health issue and this time harmful to human habitation, that can even cause death to humans. Is this a scare tactic to frighten people?

No-one has ever become ill and died from living near a bat colony. The only illness would be self-inflicted imaginary illness.

How many times do people have to be reminded there is no risk to human health living or walking near a flying fox colony so long as you do not touch them? You can only contract Lyssavirus if you are bitten or scratched, and there is a vaccine for that, you cannot contract Hendra virus from a bat only from an infected horse. As for their faeces, dogs and cats faeces contain bacteria harmful to humans.

What about human faeces, there are more deadly diseases spread to humans from dirty unwashed hands? Have you seen the sewage farm, how it smells? The amount there is from humans, if not treated it will pollute the ocean and every living thing within it. Maybe we should supply the bats, dogs, cats and birds with flushable toilets. At least the bat faeces doesn’t contain the nasties ours does. They are pollen and native fruit feeders. Just plenty of seed for the regeneration of our forests. Get yourself some earplugs if you do not like the sound of happy bats having a chat to each other.

J Sing, Noosa.

AS MR Robert Leach stated in last Thursday’s edition (Noosa Today 30 April), the same-sex marriage debate is a topic many would prefer to stay away from. However, the argument he then makes leaves me in doubt of his reasoning ability. “Traditional marriage” is the keystone of most people when speaking against samesex marriage. When someone argues that “marriage is between a man and a woman” I wonder if that person is asking to revert to when marriage was “a dominant and a subordinate relationship” between a man and a woman.

A relationship in which the man made all decisions and the woman was considered his property. Because of equality and changing social circumstances over the last century, today’s society no longer accepts those gender differences. Obviously those circumstances have also changed the definition of what a marriage really is. Marriage, just as with most other aspects of society, is an ever evolving practice.

I wonder what harm there is in accepting the desires of a couple to come together in marriage? Is it a fear that the same-sex joining will degrade that “traditional” institution? Is it a desire to return to a dominant/subordinate relationship? Or is it simply a dislike for any change to the way it has ‘always’ been done?

Another point often made is about children.

In today’s world, many children are raised by single parents and most of these kids turn out all right. Might it be even better if that child has two adult parents? Ah, but gay couples cannot produce children. Okay, if marriage is for procreation why aren’t old couples excluded, too?

Personally, because same-sex marriage affects gays and lesbians the most, I see the issue as one of sex discrimination. And don’t forget, our society, and most laws, today prohibit discrimination.

Bill Sheehy, Noosaville.

Too cunning by half GREG Hunt has pulled some cunning stunts!

Giving taxpayers ‘bang for your bucks’, the Minister for the Environment has donated $4 million to set up a ‘consensus centre’. This centre will focus on re-educating Australians about silly climate change ideas. Through Direct Action, taxpayers’ dollars (a ‘stunning success’ of $660 million) have been used to pay polluters to stop polluting; taxpayers dollars are also being used to compensate taxpayers for the axed carbon tax (no longer a tax on the polluters). Taxpayers are experiencing just how many ‘bang for your bucks’ they have working for them.

Is the latest spend another cunning stunt or a ‘stunning success’, so labelled by Greg Hunt?

Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach.

Another approach?

OH DEAR Mr. Lobb. The last time I replied to one of your letters to the editor, you approached me personally and said you were not impressed, I wonder if this will be the same.

You also said I do not know the whole story and I must admit I am still waiting for your version of that story. We both live in Peregian Springs and pay body corporate rates with services that duplicate council services yet we still pay full council rates as well. Could be called double-dipping by a council that “utilises favourable fiscal conditions” Also a council that had one of the highest percentage rate rises in South East Queensland compared to Noosa Council, one of the lowest.

I await with interest that full story.

Tom Allsop, Peregian Springs.

Anzac whingers RIGHT on to Davo's Bait and Tackle at Noosaville. The kind staff member replaced the leader on my fishing rod, cleaned up the reel and replaced the line all for less than $8. Service still exists!

A BIG thumbs up to all the hardworking SES crews who put in a super effort this storm season. We have been lucky enough to not need their services, but they certainly deserve a long, well-earned rest.

A VERY big right on to the lady who stopped in heavy rain, and directed me from my parking space outside Suncorp at Noosa Civic on Thursday.

I was hemmed in by an ambulance, and would have been there for a long time if not for her help. Thankyou.

WRITE off to the rain on Friday that cast a big shadow over our outdoor beach wedding! Luckily we were able to find a venue at short notice that would house us!

TO ALL those complaining about the dawn service at Main Beach. What a bunch of whingers!

How do you reckon you would have gone in the trenches?

Rod Kosovich, Noosa.

A few good women MY GOODNESS, I thought the Anzac Day memorial was must have been an awful shemozzle after reading Rosemary White’s letter (Noosa Today 30 April). I’m so glad I didn’t go. Would it have been better if Rosemary had volunteered to help with the organisation?

Judy Hardy-Holden, Doonan.

Anzac crowd surprise IN RESPONSE to your correspondent Rosemary White (Noosa Today, 30 April) I would just like to say how disappointed I am that she was unable to enjoy her dawn service experience. In our defence we were not expecting as many people as turned up on the morning.

We delayed the start of the proceedings by 12 minutes to enable the hundreds of people still trying to reach the beach to do so. As it turned out our timing was perfect, with the spectacular sunrise happening as we concluded the service.

I’m not sure where she got the impression there was to be a “parade” it was when all was said and done “the dawn service”. If she wanted a parade she would have achieved her desire by attending the morning parade through the streets of Tewantin.

Had we tried to meet all Rosemary’s requirements we would have needed to commit upwards of $200,000 which as an ATO regis-

THANKYOU to Martina Gaynor for this interesting photo of dolphins playing in the skies over Sunshine Beach. “They are literally jumping for joy,” Martina said. If you have a photo of Noosa’s stunning landscape, curious wildlife or anything Noosa, send it through to newsdesk@noosatoday.net.au, we would love to share your photo. tered charitable organisation we were not prepared nor permitted to do.

Further it should be realised we are the RSL sub-branch co-located with the Tewantin Noosa RSL and Citizens Club only. We are a separate stand-alone business staffed by volunteers, all of whom are 65 years young and over.

We try very hard to meet everyone’s needs and requirements, however these needs are not often known until people like Rosemary hit the presses with their criticisms. Finally I would just like to say how disappointed we at the subbranch are that Rosemary was unable to find it within herself to see the good in what we were trying to achieve.

S.F. Drake OAM, President Tewantin RSL Sub-Branch.

What an honour MY HUSBAND and I are visitors from out of town and we had the great honour of being at your dawn service at Noosa Main Beach on Anzac Day. I wondered what service Rosemary White was at and whether she realised the dawn service is a time for commemoration and reflection and not an entertainment circus for old and young alike. In our opinion, dawn services are not really suitable for very young children as most do not understand the significance of the service anyway and often they are tired and cranky at being woken early to attend.

The young man, Shaun Bennett, who portrayed the Anzac soldier, gave a moving reflection of his time at Gallipoli. It was full of imagery and a poignant reminder of the experiences for the soldiers, friends and family of his time. To say that speech was 'far too long’ and ‘offensive’ at times and ‘boring’ to a child near her, shows that Rosemary White does not understand what it was about and also, that the young child should perhaps have not have attended this service.

We commend the Noosa RSL and to Shaun for his brilliant tribute to the young soldiers who fought at Gallipoli. The props and effects used on the beach were very impressive and enhanced the mood of this special centenary commemoration. The singer, Mic Travers, gave a wonderful and moving rendition of ‘And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda’ that added to the service also. There were unprecedented numbers at the dawn service due to this being a centenary year, and the inconveniences (lack of vantage points, crowd numbers, glaring screens etc) pale into insignificance when compared to the sacrifices made by our soldiers in all wars.

Bravo to Noosa RSL, Councillor Frank Wilkie, surf lifesavers, choir, Shaun Bennett and Mic Travers and especially to those we were there for - Diggers past and present!

Meryl and Graeme Bromiley, currently Noosa.

Not healthy BEFORE the last state election, the Greens candidate Joe Shlegeris was warning of public bed closures at Noosa hospital. Mr Elmes said he should deal in “fact not fiction“ if he wanted to be taken seriously, and the then Health Minister Lawrence Springborg said “there is abso-

lutely no suggestion or likelihood that services for public patients at Noosa would cease or desist after 2020 - all that is demonstrated here is the lack of knowledge by a very green Greens candidate”.

We now have Bob Abbot concerned about public hospital beds being removed, and Glen Elmes admitting that funding was cut by the LNP. Let’s hope that the current Labor Government can give us some hope for the future of the hospital.

Bruce Hallett, Tewantin.

Not a marriage AS A regular visitor to the Sunshine Coast, I read with interest how some motivated locals would like to involve the council in the marriage equality debate. A unique endeavour I would have thought but one that succeeded in gaining headline news. I hesitate to offer a view in this highly impassioned environment as in all of social history, we have never considered same sex marriage as remotely rational but under the banner of ‘equal rights’, the gay lobbyists have touched our idealistic sentiments. Any rational person would back ‘equal rights’ on any issue, any day and as far as I am concerned, homosexual persons who wish to declare their exclusive and devoted love for another of the same sex, publicly, legally and with all the material safeguards required, I would respect their choice to do so. However, I am baffled that the desire for public acceptance necessarily should interfere with the known and long-standing definition of marriage.

Call same sex love unions what you may but the term ‘marriage’ describes the unique union of a man and a woman who have the distinct ability to procreate. This is not a religious concept but a primal, carnal reality. ‘Equal rights’ should be about providing children with an equal chance of having both a father and a mother who, with their male/female gender make-ups, contribute to the well-rounded rearing of children. Marriage is and always has been much more than the self-fulfilment of adult relationships even though many cannot achieve marriage and family ideals.

Slogans such as ‘marriage equality’ and the acceptance they receive do not address the profound social manipulations involved.

Most people are ambivalent about this issue but I urge restraint by zealots and deep consideration by passive onlookers as we still have much to learn about the complexities of human sexuality. Studies of identical twins and low concordance rates is just one point to note. The exploitation of impoverished women employed in surrogacy is another ongoing issue. Our concept of marriage and the societal support it needs should be strengthened rather than be confused by calling gay coupling ‘marriage’.

Please, let’s give gay, commitment coupling a term that publicly acknowledges their love contract and leave the meaning of marriage alone. In this way, all ways of life are respected and acknowledged.

Christine de Stoop, Wahroonga Sydney.

When you're shifting down a cog bydesign WITH DI HENSHALL DOWNSIZING is a word that can put fear into the hearts of many. How do you go from a large family house to a smaller, more convenient, hopefully less expensive dwelling, when you have spent your life accumulating “stuff” and memorabilia of your world travels, your children’s lives, your long-lost pets, paintings that you bought from a street market in Vietnam, china that belonged to your grandmother and everything else that identifies you as a person and as a family?

First of all, it is wise to regard this as an adventure, not as a ripping up of one’s life’s worth. It is exciting to launch into a new phase of life and downsizing can be regarded as an opportunity. An opportunity to re-evaluate what is important and what is worthy of being handed or sold onto someone else, who in turn will treasure some of the things that don’t belong in your new life.

I’ve mentioned storage before, which is an obvious place to start - look at what can’t possibly be parted with, what can be given away and what can be sold. Today, it is so easy to get rid of possessions with the likes

of Gumtree, Facebook and eBay. A friend of mine recently discovered that he had an old record player (do you remember what they are?). He didn’t even know he had it, but auctioned it off on line and ended up getting several hundred dollars for something that is now going to be someone else’s prized possession.

There are practical applications for storage - archives of family history and what used to be called “deed box” items, such as wills, house plans, children’s report cards and so on. These will have to be stored. Not so sure about granny’s old stuff, but if you think it has to stay in the family, but can’t fit in your new life, well, store that as well. Most other non-essential items that simply don’t fit any more - these are the things that have to be sold or given away. There is something very cathartic and energising in giving away or selling things that have at one time meant a great deal to you. Energy needs to be shifted around constantly, or it stagnates - there is no place for stagnant energy in your new adventure.

One word of caution - I often recommend to clients that they KEEP some existing furnishings and objets d’art that can either be reupholstered or re-framed that will be meaningful in your home - don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater concept. To downsize AND get rid of everything from your old life is not advisable - sincerely

Downsizing doesn't have to be scary. It can be an adventure. look at everything and decide what are the keepers. Life can be simple, life can be complicated. We sometimes attach too much importance to possessions rather than memories or experiences. Many people, when they reach a certain stage in their lives, are able to take advantage of new found freedom and take to travelling around Australia or indeed the world. The cautionary word here is DON’T buy souvenirs from every corner of the earth just to prove that you’ve been there! Photographs, now almost always

digital and on one’s phone, can always be printed and framed if they help to remind us of experiences we have had - we don’t actually need to bring the donkey blanket back from our trip up a hill in Turkey. Have a good time with downsizing, look at how you live now - most people are opting for simpler, less cluttered lives, it doesn’t mean that you have lost your experiences or knowledge, you have just made a choice to rejoice in life itself without taking the kitchen sink with you..

Huge Site with Huge Home needing TLC This large 5 bedroom home is generous in all aspects. It is situated at the end of an attractive leafy court close to the beach at Sunrise Beach. The mature gardens on 980m2 has the bonus of a nice lawned area for children as well as the generous pool area.

Adding some winter sparkle onthehome

front WITH EMILY BLACK LITTLE FISH MEDIA

THOSE would-be vendors who are thinking of selling their home should take advantage this winter.

Even though spring has a reputation for the selling season, winter is actually a fabulous time to sell. Typically, there are fewer properties on the market than in spring, which results in an interest peak for those that are listed.

When you look closely, many early spring house sales were under contract in late

winter, meaning the busy spring season actually starts in late winter.

To make your home really stand out from the competition during the colder months, here are a few tips to make listings more appealing to buyers: ■ Winter street appeal: We have heard it too many times, but first impressions last - and when selling a home those impressions start outside. Breathe life into the garden with some potted winter flowers, ensure the leaves are raked; the lawn is mowed and prune the garden of any dead flowers.

■ Increase lighting: With shorter days, be sure to have extra lights on during the day, as well as the evening. Use higher-wattage bulbs and keep curtains open to allow natural light inside. Ensure external lights

are on, and use spotlights on landscape features worthy of highlighting. Solar garden lights are an affordable alternative to brighten up the walkways.

■ Turn up the heat: Homeowners often turn down the heat to save money, but home sellers should turn it up and make it more comfortable for buyers. It does not have to be of tropical temperatures, but it must be warm and inviting, otherwise buyers will not want to stay for long.

■ Winter staging tricks: Add to the warmth with some simple home staging tricks, home sellers with fireplaces should take advantage and ensure it's lit before an inspection, but also add some thick blankets to couches and beds to create a cosy feeling.

Spring and summer photos: If vendors are concerned that potential buyers are unable to envisage how their home comes to life in spring and summer, they can display photographs taken during warmer seasons.

If vendors have photographs of the garden in the spring, the pool in the summer or trees with bright foliage in the autumn, they can display them for potential buyers.

■ Planning for Open for Inspections: While it is impossible to control the weather, vendors can try to check the forecast and pick a time of day for inspections when the sun is at its peak. This will help maximise your interior lighting.

Although selling during winter can be slightly complicated, if you follow these basic steps you can transform the property into a cosy refuge.

The African Children’s Choir will perform on Saturday 20 June, at Lake Kawana Community Centre.

Courage and hope in rhythms of Africa THE African Children’s Choir returns to the Sunshine Coast with its vibrant and outstanding musical and dancing performance in June.

Performing at the Lake Kawana Community Centre, the concert will be an exclusive double bill, featuring highly acclaimed dynamic looping artist Mr Percival as support act, with guest appearance by Cool Harmonies community choir.

Cool Harmonies musical director Yvonne Corstorphin said the purpose of the tour was to raise awareness of the orphaned and des-

titute children of Africa and to raise funds for the choir’s program.

“We are especially excited about this tour as it offers local residents a unique cultural exchange opportunity where they will get to meet and mix with the choir on a personal level through workshops and experience the diversity of Ugandan music through their spectacular concert performances,” Yvonne said.

The African Children’s Choir is comprised of orphaned and vulnerable children from the disadvantaged Kampala and Luwero areas of Uganda.

Their vibrancy, outstanding musical and dancing abilities have captured the world’s imagination since the choir started touring North America and Europe 30 years ago to raise money for children’s education.

The African Children’s Choir is returning to Australia following its inaugural visit in 2013, with sell-out concerts and workshops across eastern Australia, including the Sunshine Coast.

Cool Harmonies community choir will again host the 18 children and eight chaperones from the Uganda-based choir who will

present a fun filled evening of singing, drumming and dancing as they spread their message of hope and joy for their future.

The Under One Sky Concert will be held on Saturday 20 June from 7pm-9pm at the Lake Kawana Community Centre.

There will also be a singing and dancing workshop on Sunday 21 June from 2pm-3pm at Coolum State School.

Visit www.kwaya.org for details and to book for the Saturday night concert.

Struggle for harmony in battle of wills FROM acclaimed director Francois Girard (The Red Violin) comes the inspirational story of a troubled and angry orphan who’s remarkable gift is challenged by a demanding teacher to make the most unlikely of dreams come true.

An American drama film, Boychoir follows the story of Stet (Garrett Wareing), an 11-yearold from Texas who finds himself at a Boy Choir School following the death of his single mum. Completely out of his element, he finds himself in a battle of wills with a demanding

Choir Master who recognises a unique talent in this young boy as he pushes him to discover his creative heart and soul in music.

Rated PG, the film has a stellar ensemble which includes two-time Oscar-winner Dustin Hoffman, Oscar-winner Kathy Bates, two-time Emmy winner Eddie Izzard, three-time Oscarnominee Debra Winger, Josh Lucas (A Beautiful Mind) and Kevin McHale (Glee).

Boychoir is a powerful story, sure to touch the hearts of viewers.

WAY back in 1958 three brothers, Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, formed a band that would produce music that spanned the decades, The Bee Gees.

The Bee Gees wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists.

They have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, making them one of the world’s bestselling music artists of all time.

Their recognisable three-part tight harmonies have now been recreated in the Ultimate Bee Gees Tribute Show - the ultimate treat for any Bee Gees fan.

Russell Davey recreates Robin’s clear vibrato lead vocals that were a hallmark of the Bee Gees’ earlier hits.

Barry’s R’n’B falsetto that became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s is replicated by David Wright.

Completing the trio is Greg Wain who perfectly reproduces the sounds of Maurice Gibb.

Regardless of age, fans will recognise most of the Bee Gees’ hits. From the romantic ballads to the fantastic disco tracks this show is packed with power hits!

With songs such as Night Fever, How Deep is Your Love and Stayin’ Alive you’ll be up on the floor dancing the night away!

Fans who close their eyes really will believe they are listening to the real thing and when they open their eyes they will be amazed at the accuracy of the costumes and the precision of their impersonations. This act really is the Ultimate Bee Gees experience.

Catch the Ultimate Bee Gees show at Tewantin Noosa RSL on Saturday 9 May from 8pm in the South Bar.

Mercy said no, but power...

Life of

brine PHIL JARRATT

BACK in February in this column I wrote: “My heart goes out to Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan and their families as the clock ticks down to their seemingly inevitable executions. No matter what view you take on the intricate relationship between crime and punishment, and no matter what you think about the insidious nature of the heroin trade, only the truly merciless among us would not concede that a decade spent locked up and waiting to be shot was sufficient punishment.”

Between the time I wrote that and the early hours of 29 April, it actually seemed for a short while that mercy might be shown, that President Joko Widodo would prove to be the strong and decent man that many Indonesians thought they had voted for. But no, the die was cast and Jokowi was not big enough to stand up to his mentors in the party.

Now our prime minister and foreign minister say, repeat after me, it’s time to move on. The ambassador must come home for a long weekend in some sort of metaphorical slap on the wrist, but after that it’s business as usual, forgive Jokowi, forget the drug scammers. And of course, this is precisely what will happen, and, as I’ve written here, I don’t believe that any punitive measures against Indonesia are warranted or justified, unless we apply them unilaterally to all of the countries of the world with the death penalty on their statute books who still actually kill people, our closest allies included.

But before we move on, can we pause for a moment to consider the “operatic barbarism”, as Geoffrey Robertson described it, of the executions carried out on Nusakambangan last week? Even if you believe that midlevel drug traffickers should die (and in Australia they would have both been free men some time ago), it is surely impossible to justify the media circus that their final days became, and the unforgiveable contempt shown by the authorities and the media to their grieving families. While two Australian citizens waited to be shot through the heart, and possibly finished off with a bullet to the temple, the Indonesian authorities made their weeping families fight their way through a media frenzy to see them a final time. And what made me sickest was the tuttutting of our own media as they showed the disgusting scenes on the evening news. I’m afraid the “I’m appalled” defence doesn’t do it for me.

A PARTY, ME HEARTIES AFTER the executions and the horrific and mounting death toll in poor little Nepal, I was well and truly ready for some light relief last weekend, and fortunately we had been invited to a pirate party. Being a huge fan of

Jimmy Buffett, the singer/surfer/hamburger entrepreneur who has been measuring his life since 40 in pirate years, I started putting together a raunchy Buffett collection on my iPod, a rum drink kit and a parrot head costume, but just in the nick of time my wife advised me that I should tone it down just a little since the party boy was only turning four.

Apparently having heard there might be trouble, the birthday boy dropped around the night before to advise me on my costume: “You have to wear a stripey shirt, Poppy.” Aye, aye, sir, matelot shirt it is then.

With a bit of help, I managed to extend this into a kind of Keith Richards-ish get-up, with eye-patch and Peter Fitzsimons red bandana completing the look, and at the appointed noonday hour, we set off for the park.

I don’t know if you’ve been to a four-yearold’s pirate birthday party recently, but they just won’t listen. I don’t remember much about my own fourth birthday party, approximately 60 years ago, but I’m pretty damn sure we didn’t leave anyone’s grandfather sitting alone on a bargain-priced Sun Sofa dressed in pirate gear, sipping a warm beer and talking to himself while getting eaten by ants, while we pranced around playing walk the plank and treasure hunt.

“Hey guys, did I ever tell you about the time we were running a load up the Spanish Main ... guys, where are you?”

Anyway, the downside of being a fouryear-old pirate is that you peak very early in the day. As the weary buccaneers started to melt down, I found myself surrounded by mums and dads packing up. Here was a chance. “Aarrhh, me hearties, did I ever tell you ... guys, guys ... ” SURF’S UP AT THE LOGGER! PLENTY of swell around the coast last weekend on the back of that destructive East Coast low, and testing conditions for the Noosa Malibu Club’s second annual Logger Comp, presented by Surfstitch, on Saturday.

Conditions evened out nicely for Sunday’s finals, with some great surfing going down at First Point. Josh Constable continued his winning streak, following on from last weekend’s win at the Curl Curl Classic in Sydney to make it two Noosa Logger open men’s titles in a row. Dane Wilson and Clinton Guest took out the minor placings to keep him honest, with Nic Jones, Bowie Pollard and Dwayne Paenga following.

James Blundell will perform in Noosa for one night only.

Picture: SUPPLIED

Blundell for one night only HE'S been described as one of the greatest singer/songwriters the nation has known, and James Blundell is coming to Noosa to perform for one night only.

From Way Out West to Postcards from Saigon, James Blundell’s tracks have introduced a whole new generation of Australians to country music and fans can see the man in action at The J on Friday 12 June, from 7.30pm.

Adam Brand says he looked up to him as a youngster, and with a string of platinum albums and more than 15 awards to his name, it’s easy to see why Australia can’t get enough of James Blundell.

The J venue co-ordinator Scott Braby says it’s exciting to welcome James to The J in June.

“His songs about Kimber-

ley moons and the colours of the outback evoke powerful emotions for audiences who may not have experienced the special world Blundell inhabits,” he said.

“Tickets will sell fast to his one-night-only show so James Blundell fans need to act quickly to secure a seat.”

The ARIA-award winning artist will serve up his trademark blend of great music and vocals, with a bit of cheek thrown in for good measure.

Noosa can look forward to favourite hits such as Way Out West, Postcards from Saigon, Time On His Hands, and his new single, Hills of Brisbane, which is climbing the country charts.

Blundell was the first Australian country artist to sign a major-label Nashville recording deal, paving the way for the likes of Keith Ur-

ban and Kasey Chambers.

While a star in his own right, he has written tracks for many of his fellow Australian country music greats including Lee Kernaghan, Slim Dusty and Jimmy Little.

“This is a show James Blundell fans won’t want to miss. With nine CMAA Golden Guitar Awards to his name, the former cattle hand turned musician is an enduring name in Australian music who continues to develop his impressive following."

Tickets are $45, and $40 concession (pensioner/senior/ student 18+). Buy tickets online at www.thej.com.au, at The J Box Office, 60 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads or by phoning (07) 5329 6560 (a $3.50 telephone transaction fee applies). The performance, held on Friday 12 June, starts at 7.30pm.

Mel Doyle’s gem address NEWS presenter, journalist and mum, Melissa Doyle, will be guest speaker at this year’s Westpac Ruby Luncheon on Thursday 14 May. The popular event is part of the Noosa International Food and Wine Festival and showcases some of Australia’s best and brightest women.

Westpac Women’s Markets director Larke Riemer will host the event, with Union Dining owner and chef Nicky Riemer serving a three-course lunch alongside matched wines from Seppelt.

Last year’s Ruby Lunch was a great success, with a delicious three-course meal and matching wines seeing tickets sell out fast.

The luncheon will be held on Thursday 14 May from 12noon inside the festival village at the Lions Park, Noosaville.

Tickets are $135 per person and include entry to the Westpac Welcome Party on Friday 15 May. For tickets or more information, visit www.noosafoodandwine.com.au.

Cookbook gets back to the bare basics USC graduate Kelly Daly realised it was time to return to basics, the bare basics, after living in student accommodation where no one seemed to know how to boil an egg.

“Living at Varsity Apartments, I became acutely aware of how few students knew how to cook the basics of a nourishing meal,” she said.

“When I went through uni I realised I only knew some of the basics, but not all of them and I found many of us didn’t know what we were doing.”

The dietetics graduate took the opportunity to create a back to basics cookbook for university students with a focus on simple meals and cooking techniques such as how to cook a steak, how to make sushi and how to make a Sunday roast.

Kelly’s book The Bare Basics is a cookbook with a difference, combining cheeky food photography with healthy, simple meal recipes.

The Bare Basics cookbook features naked men tastefully modelling food, in what is a cheeky take on the traditional recipe book.

The book was recently launched and was featured at the USC Open Day earlier this year.

“The book received an excellent response,” Kelly said.

The cheeky cookbook features the 'bare basics' of cooking.

The Bare Basics cookbook is available at www.thebarebasics.com.au.

“The students love the book and how cheeky it is.

“This cookbook is here to help future students ensure they learn how to nourish themselves in order to get through the physical and mental demands of student life.”

Domestic silence MAY is Domestic Violence Prevention month and with the death toll of domestic violence victims steadily rising, it’s time to bring the violence out from behind closed doors.

The death of a 51-year-old woman in Sydney’s west on Monday 27 April takes the national toll of women allegedly killed in family or intimate partner violence to 22 deaths this year.

A staggering statistic given this week is week 18 of the year.

DV Prevention month is designed to raise awareness of domestic and family violence and stop DV being the single greatest killer of women aged between 15 and 44 years with at least one women killed each week by a current or former partner.

According to Australian research, one in three women have experienced physical violence at home, often repeatedly, by a man they know, and with whom they are, or have been, in an intimate relationship.

Over the past 12 months on the Sunshine Coast, Centacare’s SCOPE service supported 2620 women in local courts including Noosa Magistrates’ Court, an average of 218 women helped per month, plus 1737 women who attended SCOPE for counselling or group work.

a pop-up shop at the Noosa Civic Shopping Centre, supported by Zonta and Sunny Kids, to raise awareness of domestic violence in the community.

22 May - An elder abuse prevention and recognition workshop will be held in collaboration with the Women’s Action Group (WAG) at a venue to be confirmed.

Phone Centacare SCOPE on 5430 9300 for more information.

28 May - A workshop to deepen the understanding of male perpetrators of intimate partner violence, coercive control and how female victims cope will be held the Maroochydore TAFE. For more information and to register, phone 5430 9300.

It’s time to take a stand against domestic violence and bring the violence out from behind closed doors.

In her recent report on domestic violence in Queensland, Quentin Bryce said up to 180 cases of DV are reported to police every day and that the gravity and frequency of attacks is increasing.

SCOPE reported that its statistics show domestic violence on the Sunshine Coast, including Noosa, is a growing and very disturbing problem.

To help raise awareness of the often silent killer, Centacare SCOPE, in collaboration with community organisations, will hold candle lighting ceremonies to remember those who have died as a result of domestic violence.

Capital failure

Domestic Violence Prevention Month events 6 May - launch of the No More campaign You Tube clip. Centacare SCOPE has produced a No More video featuring men and women, including the police, the Morcombe family, and others pledging to ‘no more’ offer excuses or blame women for domestic violence.

6 May - From 4.45pm there will be a National Day to Remember march from the war memorial on Alexandra Headland. The march will finish at the Loo with a View in Mooloolaba where a candle lighting ceremony will be held to honour those who have died.

18-22 May - There will be

A REVIEW of the agenda for the Planning and Organisation Committee on 28 April confirms council’s failure to complete budgeted capital works - only 33.14 per cent (should be 80 per cent) has been finalised.

Some glaring discrepancies include: 3.2 per cent of $1.4 million allocated for bridge repair; 17.73 per cent for community facilities; 27.37 per cent for fleet replacement; 8.95 per cent of $1.8 million for pathways; 19.52 per cent of $695,000 for public transport; 35.18 per cent of $8.1 million for sealed roads; 12.63 per cent of $3.2 million for stormwater drainage; 35.93 per cent for transport infrastructure; 26.87 per cent for waste management. There’s no excuse for this inefficiency.

John Lobb, Peregian Springs.

The wrong beach Where to find help In the event of an emergency phone the emergency services on triple-zero.

Anyone who needs assistance or knows anyone who needs assistance or who needs links to counselling services can phone SCOPE on 5430 9300 or Centacare on 1300 CENTACARE or visit the Centacare SCOPE website www.scopedv.org or www.centacarebrisbane.net. au.

Both sites have fast exit buttons that will link straight to a blank internet page, if needed.

IT IS interesting to see how people perceive things differently. The Anzac dawn service on Noosa Main beach seemed to be an emotional disaster according to the letter from Rosemary White. I attended the dawn service and left feeling very proud of the people who presented our community with the very special commemorative 100th anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli.

It was going to be obvious that many people were going to be attending and that traffic and car parking would be a problem so we and many others parked well away from the

Perfect for the prettiest of the pampered pooches

Paws step up to help THE Million Paws Walk is back for another year with hundreds of pooches expected to turn out for the walk at Noosaville Lions Park on 17 May. The Million Paws Walk is RSPCA Queensland’s biggest and most important fundraising event of the year and more than 20,000 people are expected to take part this year in what is the event’s 29th anniversary.

Money raised through the event, through online fundraising and the sale of merchandise, helps

beach and enjoyed the walk in the early morning to the beach.

I didn’t see any sign of chaos or the possibility of a “major incident". The event was to be held on the beach, so it was just a matter of walking onto the beach and finding a spot. The beach is not an amphitheatre so it was obvious that 10,000 to 12,000 people were not going to see everything that was going on but the audio certainly made up for this. So not everything went according to plan but neither did the Gallipoli landing the big screen wasn’t necessary and we couldn’t see the lifesavers boats landing but all was all made up for by the beautiful singing of the Noosa Chorale.

The “unknown soldier“ was brilliantly performed by Shaun Bennett who we could clearly see on the sand bunker stage.

I envy Frank Wilkie’s ability to write such a moving story depicting the typical Aussie larrikin soldier and then Mic Travers singing of “The band played Waltzing Matilda” was a fitting finale. A beautifully written and presented song, very fitting for the occasion. How nice was it then to see the three lifesaver boats out past the break of the surf with their oars raised and silhouetted against the rising sun.

I want to firstly thank the veterans for giving us the freedom to be able to commemorate such an event and the efforts of the people involved in putting the dawn service together. I certainly left emotional, inspired by the “spirit of the event”.

D. Voght, Tewantin.

fund the RSPCA’s critical work in both the Noosa community and throughout Queensland, including helping more than 15,000 dogs that enter shelters each year.

Taking part in the RSPCA Million Paws Walk is a great way to help animals in need and all animal lovers, whether they have a dog or not, are encouraged to brush off their walking shoes, pull out their pet’s leash and bring their furry friend to Australia’s leading pet event.

Get pooches ready to walk and funds raised on the day will help fund the work of the RSPCA.

The Million Paws Walk will be held at Noosaville Lions Park on 17 May from 8.30am.

Registration for the Noosaville Lions Park walk start at 8.30am with the walk running from 9.30am to 2pm.

Visit www.millionpawswalk.com.au for more information or to donate to a pooch that is raising funds.

FOLLOWING the rains, bright sunshine and perfect conditions showed Dolphin Oval at it’s best for the opening of the Sunshine Coast Junior Rugby Union season.

A promising season looks assured for the Junior Dolphins, with many teams recording favourable first up results after polishing up the boots to take to the field again.

UNDER 11 FINS Superb skills, strength, speed and solid support play from the Fins led them to a highly promising win. They dominated the set plays and breakdowns and ran in 12 tries, continuously putting pressure on their opponents who were unable to make an impression apart from their one breakaway solo try.

NOOSA SOFTBALL WELL everyone was prepared for the four games down at Caboolture this weekend but alas the heavens opened and left the field unplayable.

There was, however, some senior softball action at Noosa and will be every Saturday at 1pm and 3pm.

Contact the club for details.

With the masters state comp on the horizon, the ladies team got out Sunday morning for a training run. There are a few new faces in the team this year so we wish them well in their preparation.

This weekend’s conditions permitting, the under-15s, under-17s and men’s should have an all-day affair at Caboolture, while at Noosa there will be a mixed comp for the seniors.

It was a complete wash out for our Noosa softball teams, set to play at Caboolture last weekend.

We host the Queensland State Championships commencing on Friday until 18 May. So if you missed the ‘sides’ don’t miss out on witnessing some spectacular bowls as we host the best of the best. Volunteers are required to greet and to liaise with our visitors. If you can help out, please contact Gary Moss to be put on a roster (club shirt/uniform required).

Grath and Rick Dickson, Judy Whales and Leigh Fortington.

Runners-up were Heather and Daryl Birt.

Tuesday ladies nominated fours: Winners were Connie Johnson, Beth Tolley, Nat McCauley and Val Reinicke. Runners-up were Et Kellett, Trevor Blake, Mary Williams and Yvonne Ambrey.

Wednesday men’s pairs: Gary Moss and Mike Lowe (11/12).

Ladies championship A Grade singles finals: Jenny Lonie and Pam Styles - postponed TBA. Friendly Friday: Cancelled due to wet weather.

A special Anzac centenary RSL bowls event, sponsored by Tewantin-Noosa RSL with $200

prize-money and other prizes, was very successful and the winners were Alan Clamp’s team with three runners-up including Ken Bridges' team. RSL caps were also presented to the ex-service personnel in recognition of their service.

- Green Master POMONA BOWLS THE wet weather caused a disaster to many of the bowls events.

Ladies A grade championships have commenced and several of the first round games were played earlier in the week. Tina Camp defeated Fay Beadnell in a hard-fought game 25-20. Both ladies played great bowls and it was only on the last two ends that Tina surged ahead enough to win.

Judy Muir defeated Glenda Rohde 25-11 in a game where Judy dominated. Although toward the later part of the game Glenda improved her game, there was not sufficient time to catch up.

Jocelyn Rabjohns defeated Jeannie Price 26-15 in another game where Jocelyn dominated the first half of play and although in the second half Jeannie endeavoured to catch up this did not happen. Congratulations to all who participated.

Wednesday’s social game was won by the team of Jill Mita and Des Quin with +19. Well done to you both.

The Gympie division championship fours were played during the week and the Pomona team of Elizabeth Dewhirst, Desley O’Neill, Veronis O’Connor and Tina Camp (skip) were very successful and set themselves up for a final event against a team from Albert skipped by Joyce. Unfortunately our girls went down 12-21, however congratulations to them on great play throughout the competition.

It was great to see the sun break through after the wild weather on Friday.

Despite the wet conditions however, it seemed that the boys thought it had been dry all along with a couple of big scores over the weekend.

The Under 11 Blues had a big win over Northshore Jets 19.15-129 to 1.1-7.

The Under 13 Reds had a loss against Bribie Island 4.5-29 to 6.7-43 at home and the Under 15 girls had a good win against Nambour 11.16-82 to 3.4 -22, while the boys trounced Maroochydore 23.10-148 to 6.3-39 in a very good team effort at home.

The Under 17 boys continued their strong form over the weekend and used the home ground better than

Dual Brisbane Lions premiership player Robert ‘Bushy’ Copeland has been the standout for the Tigers thus far with his efficient ball use and decision making out of defence, while up forward Cain Tickner has 15 goals from 3 games. Isles and McKittrick as usual are finding plenty of the ball whilst new recruits Hill and Brain are exciting the Tiger faithful.

There is still a long way to go in season 2015 and plenty of ground to make up on defending champs Mayne, starting with Nambour and Hinterland at Palmwoods Saturday.

See you at the footy!

Go Tigers, Pittsy

This was an impressive amount of scoring considering what all the grounds looked like two days before this.

Cool weather classics

By JACK MANGROVE NOOSA is a great place to plan an attack on some great reef species.

Snapper, sweetlip, tuskies, pearl perch and cobia are all species we like to target in the cooler months.

In close, Sunshine Reef is one of the favourites for smaller craft. Fishing close to the reef is the key, getting those baits right down there and this will really improve your catch rate.

Whether it be soft plastic, baits or even micro jigs, if the bait is not on or close to the bottom you’re not in the game.

Burley is also key; once you have found some good ground a frozen burley bomb sent to the bottom will also help the cause.

Deeper water will quite often result in larger fish, so reefs like Chardon’s, North Reef, Barwon banks and Double Island will all produce larger snapper and pearl perch. Pelagics are also still hanging around, so anglers are getting the best of both worlds at the moment, with the dirty water running out of the river.

At the moment you will however, have to find clean water to tangle with the pelagics. Spotted and spanish mackerel have been taken around North Reef as well as quality tuna.

Slugs, floater pillies and trolled diving lures are all working well.

Ben Young and Darryl Lazzaro with a couple of cobia, boated on a recent Cougar One charter to North Reef.

In the river it’s all about finding the cleaner water. With the large tides we will experience over the next week, this should help to clear up the river.

Concentrate your efforts down towards the river mouth on the run in tide. Trevally, jacks and school jew have all been taken on the making tide.

Woods Bay has also been fishing well for trevally, tailor and bream.

Poppers and surface walker have been working well in the mornings with soft plastics on the bottom during the middle part of the day.

On the beach the water will soon clear, with the big tides and beach fish-

ing to go off, with a lot of small bait fish moving out of the rivers.

With the fresh, they tend to find their way into the deeper gutter and close reefs. Because of this the larger predators have a fine old time, jew, large tailor trevally and even snapper will all be taken off the beach over the coming week.

Look for those deeper gutters and fish larger baits. Time this with a morning tide and you should see a result.

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

Rare double for Cooper Between the

flags RON LANE

AT THE age of fifteen years Cooper Williams of the Noosa Heads SLSC is yet another of our Sunshine Coast Young Guns starting to make a name for himself in the world of surf competition.

Cooper, a Year 11 student at the Coolum State High School, started his career as an Under 7 Nipper at Peregian, but on reaching the Under 13s transferred to the Noosa Club.

For Cooper the season just finished has indeed been very successful, winning medals at both the State and National Titles. The highlights of Cooper’s season was winning that very rare double - the Under 15 Iron Man Championships of both Queensland and Australia. Apart from receiving his gold medal for winning the State, he also received the Matt Barclay Memorial Trophy.

“Winning the Memorial Trophy really meant a lot to me… I was really proud of that,” he said.

The trophy is in memory of Matt Barclay, a Maroochydore Junior who tragically lost his life in big surf at Kurrawa.

When speaking of his success at both State and National level Cooper is quick to acknowledge the work of both his coaches and mentors.

“The training I have done under coaches Clint Irwin and Darren Mer-

Cooper Williams of the Noosa Heads SLSC is yet another of our Sunshine Coast Young Guns. Picture: DAN CAPPS to me for about twenty minutes.”

To round off and make a the perfect back-up team there is his brother and training partner Bailey, sister Poppy (the medal collector) and his parents Anne and Simon.

“Mum and dad take me training and give me one hundred per cent support… it’s a full on family thing,” he said.

Like others who have dreams of success in their chosen field, Cooper

cer has greatly improved my board paddling… for this I do two to three sessions a week.

“My swim training is done at the NAC (Noosa Aquatic Centre) and there I train under coaches Graeme Brewer and John Rogers, and some swim session can be anything like five to six kilometres.

“Another person who has been a great help as a mentor was Jordan Mercer… at the Nationals she talked

has set definite goals, and to consolidate these his winter months still revolve around lifesaving.

“I really want to concentrate on lifesaving, keep getting good results.

“If I do this I will achieve my goal of getting into the Nutri-Grain Series as an Iron Man… this is what I really want to do.”

“He is very dedicated and motivated… it only followers that if he maintains this attitude he will

definitely make the grade,” Darren Mercer head coach for Noosa said of Cooper.

With the season now over both Sunshine and Noosa clubs can look back with pride. Both clubs had outstanding results in competition at all major carnival. What makes it even better is knowing that these clubs have two young guns such as Nick Sloman of Sunshine and Cooper Williams of Noosa, possessing not only that winning streak but an attitude that gains them the respect of their club mates.

Last weekend Burleigh Heads Mowbray Park SLSC on the Gold Coast was to have hosted the start of the racing season for our IRB (Inflatable Rescue Boat) teams. However turbulent weather caused the cancellation of this carnival. Therefore, this weekend Broadbeach will be the venue for the first carnival and Noosa will be sending a team of twenty drivers and crewies, plus three boats.

“We are hoping to contest all events on the program,” Racing team captain Chris Vaughan said.

“It is this sort of racing that is vital to building confidence in our teams… remember it is these teams that are called on to do rescue work in big seas.”

Also this weekend Noosa will host the Ultraman Australia Endurance Events and board paddlers are wanted to cover the 10 kilometre swim. Members are requested to contact their club for all details.

Bowls club scores are on the boards for all time TEWANTIN Noosa Bowls Club is looking spiffier than ever with the generous donation of six new scoreboards.

The boards come thanks to RACV resort Noosa and Chris Taylor from Signs Express.

“The timing has been really good, as we have had a State District Sides Championships from 3 May to 6 May and the Queensland State Championships from 8 May to the 18th,” the club’s ladies games director Van Vignon said.

“Players have come from all over the state and will spend time in the local area and our club relies on the generosity of our sponsors to allow us to run prestigious events such as this,

along with the New Revolution Open Pairs every first Monday of the month.

“We are very grateful for their support.”

With the recent closure of the Noosa Heads Bowls Club Van said Tewatin Noosa Club members are very excited about the future of their club, with an added 70 members recently having joined from Noosa Heads.

“We have the potential to become one of the biggest clubs this end of the coast,” Van said excitedly.

“We even have a few younger people becoming involved.”

Van said it was the club’s friendly nature and prestigious facilities that set it apart from the rest.

Black belt’s brush with the famous RUSSELL Price of Cooroy earned his karate black belt at the age of 16 through blood, sweat, tears and hard work – delivering newspapers in freezing Welsh conditions to fund his training.

After a rough start, Russ went on to accumulate a list of achievements in the martial arts world including the title of British National Karate Champion in 1984 and 1985, plus a listing in the Guinness Book of Records in 2000 for being the youngest 5th Dan in his chosen style at the age of 34.

Russ has also worked as a bodyguard for the rich and famous, as well as working in stunt teams with greats such as Jet Lee and Jackie Chan.

Russ, 49, who emigrated to Cooroy in 2003 and now runs the Workout Shed gym and Camp Black Recharge Retreat, can now add another honour to his list of achievements.

At the end of July, Russ will be flown to Tokyo where he will be officially inducted into the World Martial Arts Organisation Famous Faces hall of fame

As a local personal trainer and international trainer I feel truly humbled to be listed amongst some of the world’s greats …

alongside the likes of Chuck Norris, Bill Wallace and Bruce Lee. At the ceremony, Russ will push his fists into the concrete in what he describes as a lasting and well-earned memento of his martial arts career and achievements.

“As a local personal trainer and international trainer I feel truly humbled to be listed amongst some of the world’s greats,” Russ said.

“I have immense respect for people who have remained true to their martial art roots and I am most pleased to be recognised for it.”

Russell Price of the Workout Shed and Camp Black Recharge Retreat in Cooroy will be inducted into the martial arts hall of fame in July.

You will need at least $1M for your retirement!!

How would you define wealth ? We all have different definitions but lets say wealth is simply having enough investments in retirement to provide you with income of more than $60,000 per year

❖ When questioned more than 80% of people say they would eventually like to be financially independent.

❖ The majority of people rank financial success as one of their top 3 goals along with health and family.

But here is the Wealth Paradox – 90% of people fail to achieve even modest wealth.

• 70% of those age 65 and over have less than $600 a week in income from all sources or $31,200 per year • A couple will need at least $60,000 for a comfortable retirement and probably more.

• 90% of retirees have less than a million and over 50% have less than $50,000 in assets apart from their home.
