Big freeze on ice

By JOLENE OGLE POLICE have closed a nine month drug operation that has rid the streets of over 2.5kg of the volatile drug, ice.

Operation Mike Tyras was a multiagency operation with the Sunshine Coast and Moreton police working together to dismantle a multimillion dollar commercial ice drug network operating across south-east Queensland.

The operation, which involved over 250 staff from across the QPS, commenced in October 2014 by Sunshine Coast detectives targeting an organised crime network on the Sunshine Coast. Investigators then identified an extensive and widespread criminal organisation operating out of Brisbane.

During the course of this operation police seized in excess of 2.5kg of the drug ice valued at a commercial price of $1.5million.

Police have confirmed the alleged

syndicate heads of the criminal organisation were arrested and charged in Brisbane last week (known as Operation North Invoice) with drug trafficking and being members of a criminal organisation under the VLAD laws.

On Tuesday, police executed 91 search warrants on premises throughout south-east Queensland with the main focus of today’s closure being targets on the Sunshine Coast and Moreton. The operation has resulted in 92 people being charged with 214

offences including trafficking, production of dangerous drugs, other drug related offences, and firearm offences.

Sunshine Coast Crime Services Detective Inspector Dave Drinnen said the arrests leading into the closure of the operation, plus the arrests from raids today will have a significant impact on the supply of dangerous drugs on the Sunshine Coast.

“This has been one of the largest and most successful drug operations in the past 10 years on the coast and

Moreton and has been an outstanding result,” he said.

“It is concerning to see the networks operating at such a high level and allegedly dealing in such large quantities so widespread across our community.

“This has not only removed a significant quantity of this addictive drug off the streets, but I have no doubt has contributed to saving lives and protecting the community.”

It’s all downhill from here READY, set, go!

A life on the rails

By JOLENE OGLE MOST Saturdays Eumundi local Michael Whitty can be found walking the 124-year-old rail trail from Eumundi to Cooroy with cutters in hand, pruning back trees and casting dead logs aside.

Mr Whitty, along with the Eumundi Historic Association (EHA), have a dream to re-open a 13 kilometre section of the former steam train route to walkers and are working to slowly reclaim small sections of the route.

Walking with Mr Whitty along a five kilometre section of the former North Coast Line used by steam trains more than a century ago, it is clear to see why the group is so passionate about the rail trail.

The beauty of the former track, which is sandwiched between the Bruce Highway and the current electrical track, is still visible and it is easy to imagine a 19th century steam train making its way along the stretch.

The engineering wonder was built in the late 1870s and was a major government infrastructure that is said to have helped forge a nation.

Rail trails are popular hiking tracks that follow the former route of a now out-of-service steam train, and the Eumundi to Cooroy section of the route is steeped in history.

Precious artefacts from yesteryear can still be found lining the embankments of the corridor which Mt Whitty said is one of the many reasons he is lobbying to have this track placed on the Queensland State Heritage Register.

Currently, by working together, the EHA and Mr Whitty have reclaimed approximately five and a half kilometres of the 13 kilometre route including a 300 metre section that runs through private property at the southern end of the easement off Grasstree Road south.

The land is privately owned but Mr Whitty said “delicate negotiations” have allowed the EHA to access the land and last Saturday Mr Whitty and sub-committee member Rick Templeton cleared the track to reveal the original rail ballast.

Mr Whitty said this 300m section of the trail

The former Eumundi train station with the steam train pulling in.

A section of the reclaimed rail trail in Eumundi. is very interesting as it was an engineering feat for its time and as it was the steep section, an extra loco had to be connected to the train to get it up the hill.

“It involved the construction of the most massive embankment that, for its time, was an engineering wonder,” he said.

“This involved horse-drawn carts carrying railway ballast from a quarry up the range and tipping over the side of the embankment so elevation was gained.

“The sides of the embankment formed its own angle of repose as construction continued.”

The original ballast is still visible under the

slashed grass and the rocks used to build retaining walls, brought in by horse, can still be seen too.

Mr Whitty said his goal is to have the historical railway corridor placed on the National Heritage Register and to do so will need to eventually convert the trail into a walking track administrated by Rail Trails Association of Australia.

“But there is a long way to go,” Mr Whitty said, with over seven kilometres of rail route yet to be reclaimed.

Mr Whitty hopes to open the track to the public who can enjoy the beautiful, historical walk in the future.

ONE of Noosa’s most luxurious resorts has been rebranded as Peppers Noosa Resort and Villas after Australian hoteliers the Mantra Group took over management of the resort last week.

Outrigger Little Hastings Street Resort and Spa has undergone the rebranding, and was one of four Outrigger properties to join the Mantra Group.

Mantra Group CEO Bob East said the Outrigger acquisition, including hotels in Twin Towns, Airlie Beach and the Gold Coast, was a natural fit for Mantra Group, extending the group’s footprint in key leisure destinations.

“They are all exceptional properties which I’m sure our guests will enjoy,” he said.

The Peppers Noosa Resort and Villas still offers a relaxed natural setting in the tranquil surrounds of Noosa National Park with luxuriously appointed accommodation at one of Noosa’s most sought after addresses on Hastings Street.

There are two tiers of accommodation available including the stylish studio, one and two bedroom apartments or three bedroom penthouses in the main resort; or deluxe two, three and four bedroom tree top villas offering a superior level of luxury.

Mantra Group currently has five other resorts on the Sunshine Coast including Mantra French Quarter in Noosa as well as properties in Mooloolaba, Alexandra Beach and Caloundra.

Using park as toilet is disgusting

By JOLENE OGLE

The second community jury will consider how the Noosa Council can better manage the Noosa River.

River wrecks before jury

By JOLENE OGLE NOOSA Council has just announced the second agenda item for the community jury and it looks like the Noosa River will be the hot topic for the second jury that will begin deliberations in August.

The new 24-member jury will be asked: “How can we manage the Noosa River better? What role should Council play and what resources should Council apply?“ Noosa mayor Noel Playford said the council and the State Government have been looking for ways to work together to tackle a range of issues affecting the river.

“The community’s keen interest in securing positive outcomes for our much-loved waterway makes this a fitting topic for a community jury to deliberate,” Cr Playford said.

The announcement of the new community jury topic comes as locals ramp-up a push for the council and the State Government to remove the rotting hulks from Noosa River.

The Noosa Ratepayers Association (NRA) has planned a public meeting for 6.15pm on 16 July, at the Boathouse Restaurant, Noosaville.

Among other topics, the commu-

nity forum will focus on informing residents about what is happening with the boats on Noosa River, what the council and the government are doing to look after the river as well as offer residents the chance to raise any concerns they have about the health of the river.

NRA president Brian Stockwell said both the council and the Queensland Government had been invited to present their positions at the community forum, but Mr Elmes said he was frustrated as that week was a sitting week in parliament.

Cr Playford said there has been great frustration that a river plan developed years ago to manage the river better had only been partially enacted.

“Issues such as pollution from increasing numbers of permanent liveaboards and a lack of control over the number and state of vessels being added to the river have remained a problem that we need to address,” he said.

“We have a small river subject to increasing pressure, and we need action now before it becomes a bigger dumping place for unwanted vessels and cheap accommodation.“ Noosa MP Glen Elmes said he

In January, Noosa MP Glen Elmes launched a campaign promise to rid the river of rotting hulks if LNP was re-elected. was being proactive in the search for an answer to ridding the river of rotting hulks, but it was not an easy task.

“I’ve been going through the legislation that is specific to the Noosa River and finding out what the regulations are so we can be better informed,” he said.

“But it’s going to take a minefield of searching to find all the relevant

information relating to the Noosa River.”

Mr Elmes said he won’t give up and was dedicated to working with Noosa Council to find a solution.

“This needs to be a partnership,” he said.

“One can’t do it without the other, so the council and State Government need to work together.”

THERE’S no excuse for using public parks as a toilet, according to Member for Noosa Glen Elmes, who says it simply amounts to bad behaviour and laziness.

Mr Elmes’ comments came after Noosa Today last week reported one family’s disgust when they witnessed three travellers getting off their hired campervan at Tinbeerwah Park to use the park as their bathroom.

Mr Elmes said the poor behaviour came down to convenience and laziness.

“If you drive around Noosa, within two minutes you will find a public toilet,” he said.

“There’s no excuse.”

As for reports of campervans setting up residence in suburban streets, sometimes for days on end, Mr Elmes said there were plenty of camping options available to visitors.

“There’s no excuse for cluttering up public car parks and streets,” Mr Elmes said.

“There are camping sites, and in Eumundi and Cooroy there are free overnight RV stops with amenities for people to use.”

A Noosa Council spokesperson said most visitors who hired camping vehicles did the right thing, but council needed effective power to “deal with those responsible for antisocial behaviour and leaving a mess for others to clean up”.

“Council would like to see changes to legislation to have offences tied to the vehicle, rather than the driver,” the spokesperson said.

“This would mean that the hire vehicle’s owner is held accountable as occurs with some traffic offences, and can debit the customer’s credit card for the fine.

“This would not only encourage campervan hire companies to better educate their customers on local laws, but also ensure the hirers of these vehicles realise they must abide by the law or face a penalty.”

Got crooks on a plate Peregian Beach is fast becoming Noosa,s Silicon Beach as digi-business grows throughout the region.

Surf’s up for network connection

By JOLENE OGLE GOOD news is rolling in for residents of Peregian Beach and surrounds with works scheduled to start next year to connect about 20,000 homes in the Fairfax electorate to the NBN. Noosa councillor Sandy Bolton said the NBN rollouts over the past months have been welcomed by both businesses and residents who have previously seen this technology as expensive and confusing.

“Access to fast speed broadband may well be the gamechanger in relation to improving the local economy, and has been discussed across many sectors

over the preceding years,” she said.

Sunshine Coast-based Senator James McGrath announced the NBN rollout and said about 11,600 homes in Peregian Beach, Marcus Beach, Coolum Beach, Mount Coolum, Peregian Springs, Point Arkwright, Yandina Creek and Yaroomba can expect to see connection work start in their suburbs in the second half of 2016.

“The NBN will deliver internet access that’s fast, reliable and affordable,” Senator McGrath said.

“Better broadband will transform the way homes and businesses communicate, do business and

access online services.”

Cr Bolton said previous economic development plans of both the “old” Noosa Council and the Sunshine Coast Council have always set digital infrastructure as a priority to diversify the local economy with the “new” Noosa Council already supporting a range of initiatives including a proposed Digital Hub as part of the Peregian Beach Rufous Street project.

“To see this now becoming a reality is very exciting. Noosa is a much desired destination for digibusiness and specialised services who wish to have the best of both worlds - the ability to work from a beautiful location with the ulti-

mate lifestyle,” Cr Bolton said.

“The nickname Silicon Beach is a by-product of the businesses already flourishing in Noosa’s coastal villages, exporting services worldwide through superior broadband speed.

“Who would not want to walk out of their office straight into the surf or a fishing boat?“ NBN Co provides monthly updates on its website showing areas that have reached build preparation, build commencement and that are ready for service.

Residents can check their suburb at www.nbnco.com.au/rolloutplan.

NUMBER plate theft is one the rise but Cooroy police have teamed up with Cooroy Rotary Club and the SES to help stop thieves in their tracks.

Cooroy police will turn the screws on crime and will theft-proof driver’s number plates free of charge on Saturday 18 July.

Cooroy police Sargent Mal Scott said number plate theft is often the first action thieves take to cover their tracks when committing other crimes.

“However, the one-way screws that we will be providing for free can’t be removed with conventional tools so the more people who take this opportunity, the more difficult it is for thieves,” he said.

“We are very grateful for the support of the Rotary Club and the SES who are assisting us in providing this free service by being on hand to remove your plates and re-secure them with the irremovable screws.”

The Turn the Screws on Crime community initiative will take place at the Cooroy State School parking area on Elm Street, Cooroy, on Saturday 18 July from 9am to 11am.

The changeover will only take a few minutes and no appointment or booking is necessary.

Cash for boost in community spirit

An artist's impression of the outdoor space within the planned expansion at Noosa Civic.

Have your say on Civic NOOSA Council is calling for the community to have their say on the proposed Noosa Civic expansion from today (Monday, 6 July).

Noosa Council Planning and Environment Manager Kerri Coyle said the public notification period would close on 30 July.

Ms Coyle said the proposal comprised approximately 30,000 square metres of additional and reconfigured retail floor space linked to the southeast of the existing centre.

It includes two supermarkets, a discount department store and 1000 additional car parking spaces.

Ms Coyle said applicant QIC this week responded to council’s information request, made after the application was lodged back in December.

“Once the public notification period ends the application will go before council for a decision, which is likely to be later in the year,“ Ms Coyle said.

Submissions can be made online from Monday via Noosa Council’s YourSay Noosa portal at http://yoursay.noosa.qld.gov.au To view the application material visit council’s planning online portal via the link at www. noosa.qld.gov.au/planning-online

The proposed plans to expand the Noosa Civic Shopping Centre.

NOOSA community organisations will share in almost half a million dollars’ worth of funding in the first round of the council’s new Community Grants Program.

This month the council will distribute $480,439 worth of grants to be shared among four categories - $160,425 in Sports Field Maintenance Grants, $62,785 in Community Halls and Centres Grants, $159,034 in Operational Grants and $98,195 in Project Grants.

Noosa Mayor Noel Playford said the grants will provide an important support for “hard-working, not-forprofit organisations that contribute greatly to our community’s prosperity.”

“Sporting, arts, cultural and environment organisations are among those to benefit in this round of funding,” he said.

The council has also allocated $75,000 in the new budget to cover the cost of eligible community organisations’ Unitywater fixed access charges (water and sewerage) for the year.

“These charges are an unavoidable and significant cost for many community organisations and council is pleased to be able to lessen this financial pressure,” Cr Playford said.

“This is a new council

initiative to assist community organisations that add so much to the social fabric of our shire.

“Calls will go out soon for eligible organisations to supply their details so the financial assistance can be provided.”

Sports Field Maintenance Grants offer support for notfor-profit sporting organisations for the maintenance of sporting fields.

Community Halls and Centres Grants provide financial support to eligible not-for-profit community organisations for the management and maintenance of community halls and centres.

This funding is intended to provide longer-term consistent support for those not-for-profit community organisations that maintain council and community infrastructure.

Operational Grants provide not-for-profit community organisations with contributions toward operational expenses while Project Grants fund eligible not-forprofit community organisation events, programs and building works or essential infrastructure.

Applications for the second round of Project Grants will open in August.

Royal salute at Pacific Games Benny’s

beat BENNY PIKE

IT MAY not have been an Olympics or Commonwealth Games but the opening ceremony of the 15th Pacific Games here in Port Moresby had it all.

Light breeze, clear skies and a packed stadium coloured in orange, witnessing to a passionate evening of dancing, singing, and chanting all centred around the PNG Island culture.

It was the third time this event has been held here and the government has spent millions dollars to ensure

the best results on and off the field.

The swimming and basketball centre cost $150 million alone to cement success today and for the future.

I didn’t get a spare ticket for the ceremony but like millions of others sat glued to the TV for the duration.

I thought Prince Andrew did a wonderful job in his role, he spoke passionately about the legacy that has been created for not only PNG but the entire Pacific region.

He spoke of the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast and the springboard effect that is expected to occur.

The Duke didn’t get much sleep as he was back on royal duties for the first Gold Medal presentation for the

women’s triathlon the next morning.

French nation New Caledonia claimed gold through Charlotte Robin and bronze, Natalie Viratelle.

The Sunshine Coast played its role helping fifth-placed Rachel James. Noosa tri commentator Toby Coote is her coach and Tri club member Sue Fergus team coach.

Prince Andrew presented the Glasgow tri medals last year, so it is no wonder he was on time and with a big smile when introduced.

The rest of this week, I will be involved with the swimming commentary with finals each night from 6pm.

The Noosa connection is evident again, with long time Eyeline swim entrant Robert Van de Zant the coach of the PNG team. He has been most

helpful with some inside information, but all eyes have been on Commonwealth Games gold medallist Ryan Pini. He might be 33, but the loyal Papuan is only to happy to help his country when called. He has already claimed gold and is aiming for four from his scheduled seven events.

Some will remember his great battles with Michael Klim in 2006 and Geoff Huegill in 2010.

I am looking forward to the weekend off before five days of boxing next week.

The islanders love a good stoush, and wont be let down from what is a completely sold out event.

Thankfully, if some disagree with my call, I can hide behind my col-

league 1996 Olympic silver medallist Tongan Pear Wolfgramme.

There’s plenty of room to hide, the big man is 6’4 and weighs 140kg.

For fight fans he lost the final to the present World Heavyweight Champion Wladimir Klitschko, lives in Melbourne but revered everywhere he goes here in the Pacific.

I am looking forward to getting home for our own dish culture and entertainment with the long weekend. As always, Ian Mackellar has done a superb job in organising this year’s talent.

This year’s event has music, dance, live theatre, cabaret and visual arts.

Until next time.

Noosa’s one sea of pink NOOSA’S inaugural Paddle in Pink event is off to a roaring start with entrants jumping at the chance to turn the Noosa Sound pink on Saturday 30 August.

Event organisers said there had been a great response already, but there was plenty of room for more entrants into the fundraising event that was aimed at raising money for breast cancer research and support services through the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

The event will see entrants dress in pink and jump aboard a boat, paddle board,

surfboard, kayak or any other floating device and join the group as they make their way around Noosa Sound as a sea of pink.

Event organiser, breast cancer survivor and National Breast Cancer Foundation Sunshine Coast chair Sandra Harding said the Paddle in Pink has received entries already but was urging even more locals to get on board the fund-raising party.

Joining locals on the day will be a number of local identities on board the Celebrity Boat.

Offering support and en-

couragement on the day will be Noosa councillor and event patron Sandy Bolton, renowned international chef Peter Kuruvita, well-known swim coach Bruce Simpson, triathlete and multi-sport consultant Jessica Fleming and Jason Andrews from All for Adventures.

The morning of fun will start at 7.15am on Saturday 30 August at the Lions Park, Noosa Heads, and entry is only $15 per person while children under 5 are free.

To register, visit www. paddleinpink.gofundraise. com.au and click “buy tickets”.

Noosa Sound will be a sea of pink on Sunday 30 August as locals take to the water in support of breast cancer in the first Paddle in Pink event.

People skills are drawcard Between the Ron Lane’s

flags people

RON LANE

AFTER vacating the premises at the completion of the wedding banquet, some of the wedding group, moving through the streets of Cobram, were noisy.

The police were not happy.

Words were exchange, a stubby flew through the air and a brother and sister, both members of the official wedding party, were quickly on their way to the local lock-up.

The next day, unaware of the night’s little escapade, the newlyweds turned up at a family barbecue to continue wedding celebrations.

“A great wedding,” said the bridegroom to his father.

“Great alright,” was the reply.

“Both your sister and brother ended up in the slammer for the night.”

Now 21 years later as he finished relating the tale, Anton Mogg, known to all and sundry as Moggie, lent back in his chair and laughed.

“Now that was a wedding to remember. Neither my wife Julie nor I had any idea of what had transpired. But dad did - and he was not amused.”

He was born in 1964 or, as Moggie, a lover of music and former DJ tells it, “the year the Beatles arrived in Australia”.

He grew up in Cobram and was educated at the Cobram High School.

On leaving high school he entered the workforce as a bank teller for the National Bank, a job he was to hold for three years before moving into the area that was to become his forte, the hospitality industry.

“I started at the Cobram-Barooga Sports Club.

“The club was situated just over the border in New South Wales and those were the days when NSW had pokies but Victoria didn’t.

“So, working in a place like the sports club gave me a good grounding,” he said.

It was while living in Cobram that Moggie met Julie, his future wife and a relationship started.

Then in 1988 after having spent some six years at the sports club they decided to set off on a trip around Australia.

“We got as far as Noosa and that was it.

“I started a job at the Reef Hotel as the DJ and night club manager.

“I also joined the Noosa Tigers the local Aussie Rules Football Club and spent a season playing as a full forward and our trip around Australia - well that just didn’t happen.”

Moggie’s involvement with the Tigers continues even to this day.

After his playing days ended he coached junior grades for several years and continues his input by being heavily involved in the vital and

never ending work of raising finance.

When it comes to Aussie Rules football, his love of the game was handed down by his father Les. “My dad was a legend in the North Melbourne Club playing for many years. Also during his career he represented Victoria.

“After Melbourne he moved to Cobram club as captain/coach where he won six flags in seven years and that is quite an achievement.

“Also during my time there, my brother Peter and I in ’84 played a season together and we went through undefeated.

“When dad passed away every major TV station in Victoria sent a crew to Cobram to cover the funeral.

“The church service was full of AFL legends. He really was a man for us to be proud of.

“By the early ’90s I had moved up to the job as manager of the Reef and then in ’94 we decided to get married.

“The wedding was held back home in Cobram at the Cobram - Barooga Golf Club and, as I said, it was in more ways than one definitely a night to remember.

“Big crowd with people from Noosa and Melbourne.”

Now some 21 years on Moggie and Julie are the proud parents of daughter Cassidy aged 17 and son Jordan 14.

In 1998 the position of club manager for the surf club, the business arm of the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club, was advertised and Moggie applied.

His application was successful and this was the start of what was to be and still is, a very productive relationship.

Moggie started just at the completion of the surf club’s first ever major renovation, so with the alterations and the drive for new membership there was major work ahead.

Surf club treasurer and life member Wally Schaller, who was a member of the interviewing panel for Moggie’s application said: “Moggie is rather unique.

“He has outstanding people skills, the ability to bring people together, and this is a major factor in the hospital industry.”

In the ever expanding world of the hospitality industry there are many avenues to cover - government legislation to be addressed, liquor laws to be observed, work place health and safety to be studied, the list goes on and on.

In the tourist centres the connection with the tourism people is of the utmost importance.

Being ever conscious of this, Anton Mogg has certainly been fully committed.

At present he is a member of the Tourism Board of Directors and chairman of the local Liquor Accord.

The Accord represents all licensed venues in the Noosa Shire and con-

Anton Mogg.

sults regarding liquor licensing with police and other stakeholders.

He sits on the club’s advisory council with Clubs Queensland which represents clubs from Cairns to the Tweed.

Some time ago the chairman of the surf club board of directors Ian Young OAM instructed the board to get the club more involved in the community and Moggie’s skills with rallying people really came to the forefront.

“One of the first projects I helped organise was a major fundraiser to assist those families who suffered in the Black Saturday fires.

“Some of those people had been through sheer hell and to be able to help, not just through finance but personal assistance as well, was very rewarding.

“I am proud to say that on that night, which was one of my biggest at the club, we raised in the vicinity of $50,000 through auctions and other things in just over three hours.

“The club was packed, the community really got behind us and support was great.”

When he looks back he estimates that the club, with community support, has over the past 10 years raised more than half a million dollars for charities and disasters.

Also, through his sporting connections at the AFL, Moggie has

Anton Mogg with the club’s assistant manager Les Evans. successfully opened many doors and as a result of his efforts, most sporting and not for profit organisations in Noosa have been assisted in some form or another.

Another side issue, in which Moggie was the instigator, was employing and helping Down syndrome children at the club, an issue he has been personally involved with for 15 years.

However, one of Moggie’s habits that really stands out is his visits to the local hospital.

“Every Easter and Christmas, for 10 years, Cassidy, Jordie and I have been going to the local hospital to visit patients, in particular the elderly.

“The kids, who are now patrolling members of the Noosa Surf Club, wear their patrol uniforms and give out lollies and flowers.

“The patients love it, it gives them a real shot in the arm.”

But there is another side to this story that Moggie was not immedi-

ately aware of.

On learning of his kind gestures to hospital patients and others, some of his mates gave him the nicknames, Moggie Teresa.

“Yes I know about that. Some clown reckons that I am Noosa’s answer to Mother Teresa.”

And he adds with a laugh “I guess I can take it as a compliment.”

Apart from his family, work and helping others, his other big interest is his love of music.

“Over the years I have made it a habit to see the best - Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jnr, Elton John, Whitney Houston, U2, Sting just to name a few.”

Because of this love of music Moggie is now helping to start careers for young local musicians by bringing them to the surf club for Sunday afternoon gigs.

A good man, great family and, guess what, they’re our people.

App is a lifesaver for drivers who phone

By MEGAN WILSON A LOCAL lifesaver and paramedic have joined forces to save lives on Noosa roads, with the launch of the Make a Pact app.

Local Sunshine Beach volunteer lifesaver Rob Walter and long-term friend and paramedic Geoff Monohan are encouraging Noosa locals to make a pact to stop using their phone while driving and help reduce the number of accidents on Noosa roads.

During his career as a paramedic, Geoff said he had seen many car accidents resulting from the driver being distracted by their mobile phone, so he reached out to Noosa local Rob nine months ago and together they created the life-saving app that recently launched on the Sunshine Coast.

The Make a Pact app is the only one of its kind and automatically turns on and off once the user begins to drive and silences all incoming

10 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 9 July, 2015

calls and texts to prevent the driver from checking their phone while on the road.

The app also sends an automated message to all callers to let the sender know the driver is on the road and will even send an email to a nominated person if the driver accesses their phone while driving.

Rob said the app was part of a social media campaign aimed at breaking the habit of drivers constantly checking their mobile phones while

in the car.“Our goal is to change people’s behaviour and habits while driving,” he said.

The app launched two weeks ago and already has 210 pacts and Rob said he expects this number will only grow as the campaign takes off.

“The first stage of the campaign is to launch the Make a Pact app through social media,” Rob said.

“The next step is to use police and

ambulance officers to educate young drivers through presentations.”

Rob hopes to utilise local police and ambulance officers to educate young drivers while still at school using the app as a relatable tool.

The Make a Pact app is available for Android handsets at Google Play or visit www.makeapact.com.au for more information and to download the app. noosa.starcommunity.com.au

A BIG thumbs up to the generous man who so kindly paid for my coffee at the local this morning (Tuesday). I was able to “pay it forward” and paid for the next coffee for the person behind me. I hope I was able to share a little magic like you did.

Thankyou to the team at Harvey Norman Noosaville who were very kind in helping me buy some electronics for my home. The young man who served me was very patient and knowledgeable and helped me choose what was best for my needs.

Thankyou.

looks more like the PR arm of the Opposition.

Geoff Roach, Cooroy.

Rather insecure THE Prime Minister’s recent attack on freedom of speech, calling for “heads to roll” at the ABC over the appearance of Zaky Mallah, an accused terrorist, on Q&A, raises interesting questions about national security. The Prime Minister also recently said that “coal is good”. Which is really the biggest threat to Australian national security - a reformed juvenile delinquent with weak angermanagement skills or the advocacy of pumping more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to stimulate global warming and what is looking more and more like severe climate disruption?

If you are a fearmonger and prey on people’s immediate sense of danger, then you push the dangers of the juvenile delinquent. If you are a considered adult, with a reasonable understanding of science, a broad outlook on life and the ability to process a diversity of information, then you will see that climate disruption is by far the most important long-term threat to our global and national economy, requiring immediate solutions.

Our current national leaders may one day face their own royal commission to answer questions as to why they wilfully ignored the best scientific evidence to lead this country towards a dead-end energy policy that exacerbated climate disruption.

This would make the royal commissions into the home insulation scheme and union corruption look insignificant.

14 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 9 July, 2015

AS ONE of those who criticised Q&A (ABC) for having Mallah on their program, I now have to withdraw my criticisms (not that I support his views) as they appear to now be more about creating news (good or misjudged) than any of the other networks. Watching Andrew Bolt Sunday morning with his continued attack on ABC and Labor, even after the unfortunate loss by the Matildas to Japan and also Q&A tonight, I am convinced our media reporters and politicians have only one-track minds. Promoting themselves. Those terrorists wherever they are must be sitting back patting each other on the back for creating this fear without using a bullet or bomb.

We never learn.

E. Wright, Sunrise Beach.

Why the secrecy?

WE HAVE been told that the Free Trade Agreement with China would be great for Australia.

That being the case why the secrecy?

Trade and Investment Minister Andrew Robb needs to come clean on the removal of mandatory skills assessment for trades workers employed as temporary migrants under the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement.

The fine print of the agreement - which the Abbott Government kept secret for seven months - shows that existing skills assessment requirements under Australia’s migration system have been removed for 10 occupations, including electricians.

Under the new deal Chinese tradesmen will be allowed to work here without undergoing the usual skills test as part of a secretive “side” deal struck as part of the Australia-China free-trade agreement. Why was the removal of skills testing for these occupations not previously disclosed to the Australian public? Has the provision been based on advice from Australian occupational and trades skills regulators?

Have State Governments been consulted and how will the provisions impact on occupational licensing regulations? What safeguards have been put in place to maintain safety standards in Australian workplaces?

Mr Robb has a responsibility to explain the trade deal he negotiated and fully respond to questions about its impact. Simply calling genuine concerns xenophobia is not good enough.

Lucy Stanton, Labor Candidate for Wide Bay.

Degrees of separation FOOTPATHS were created to separate pedestrians from the possibility of collisions with wheeled vehicles. Now, Segways are restricted to footpaths and cyclists regard them as their territory even when cycle lanes are set aside for them on the road. As a pedestrian, I find cyclists an irritation if not a hazard. What can be done to safeguard pedestrians from contact with wheeled vehicles?

Case Smit, Noosaville.

THANKS to Julie Hemsley who captured this photo of the controlled burn at Peregian Beach on Sunday. If you have a photo of Noosa’s wildlife or landscape, we would love to see it. Send your high resolution image to newsdesk@noosatoday.net.au.

Usual suspects JOHN Lobb, Jeff Nuske, Lew Brennan and their mates all said that we would be doomed if we deamalgamated. They assured us we would end up with higher rates, an unsustainable council and worse services.

Soon their fearmongering was joined by the SCC-backed Sunshine Coast Alliance who oppose having Eumundi, Doonan and Verrierdale become part of Noosa. Again we were assured that the new Noosa Council was not financially viable. Then the likes of Trevor Clarey and Bob Jarvis chimed in with the council bashing. You could add that malcontent Benny Pike to the mix.

The facts are that Noosa has had a rate rise of 1.3 per cent in the past one and a half years compared with eight per cent in the Sunshine Coast Council area. Noosa’s public areas are looking better than they have for years. Noosa is getting around to fixing problems like Munna Point Bridge that the SCC conveniently ignored. The Queensland Treasury Corporation tells us that Noosa Council’s outlook is financially strong.

And Noosa Council doesn’t have the secret meetings that are normal practice on the SCC. So will those embittered folk who got their predictions so very wrong now eat their humble pie and go away? More likely they will drum up some more conspiracy theories to justify their own prejudices. I say, well done Noosa Council!

Ignore the nutty, loud minority and keep doing what you’re doing.

John Rose, Tewantin.

Paltry jobs THE application for the proposed meat poultry development near Cooroy indicates there would be one full-time, permanent job (on-site manager) and possibly 18 days per year casual work for two people (shed cleaners).

The trade-off for the community is that ratepayers would bear the cost burden of a trunk infrastructure offset and the necessary haul route road upgrades and maintenance to accommodate the development’s heavy transport needs. Of the development’s hidden costs, the stand-outs are using public land and other people’s properties as a waste processing system, and imposing restrictions on residential, agricultural and other land uses on surrounding properties.

If Noosa ratepayers are expected to subsidise this development, they should be asking how the associated costs and foregone economic opportunities would benefit the shire.

Cath Jones, West Cooroy.

Decision for us REGARDING the marriage equality bill expected to be introduced into the House of Representatives as early as 11 August, the issue for me is the method of determining the outcome. It should be by a national plebiscite, not by a parliamentary vote. Our elected representatives have not been given a mandate to vote on any gay marriage proposal.

Eric Ash, Boreen Point.

Flying-fox impact LETTER writers Ross Taylor of Pomona and Andrew Hutchison of Tewantin (Letters, June 25)

demonstrate concern for the plight of residents living near the Wallace Park flying fox colony.

Council has never denied that the colony in this location has caused genuine distress for some residents.

Mr Taylor suggests that council should relocate the animals, arguing that the possibility of such action causing further problems is “hypothetical" and that no adverse impacts will occur “if the relocation is performed correctly."

I am more than happy to provide Mr Taylor with a peer reviewed research paper by five authors that compares relocation attempts across three states and one territory. The outcome shows that in 70 per cent of cases no acceptable new location eventuated, and in 80 per cent of cases conflict with residents was continuing. Where new camps were created they were all less than one-kilometre from the original site.

Closer at hand, Toowoomba Council attempted to relocate three colonies, and each time those attempts failed. Not only did the colonies splinter, but the animals recolonised the original sites. As a result of this experience, Toowoomba Council has decided not to attempt any more relocations.

I recently spoke with a senior environmental officer at Brisbane Council. They have over 30 flying-fox colonies in their area, two of which are permanent. Brisbane Council will not engage in relocations because they believe that dispersals do not generate positive outcomes. Even closer to home, I was on the Sunshine Coast Council (SCC) when the decision was made to disperse the colony at Cassia Wildlife Corridor in Coolum.

This decision by a majority of councillors was contrary to staff advice. Attempts to move the colony resulted in a new camp being created at Elizabeth Street, just a few hundred metres away.

This new site affected residents not previously impacted by the animals. A recent dispersal attempt at Elizabeth Street has failed, and as I write another attempt is underway.

It is worth quoting from the feasibility study that came to we councillors on the SCC in 2012.

It stated: “These camps cannot be managed in isolation as they are home to a single mobile population following seasonal fluctuating food resources."

Which brings me to Andrew Hutchison’s query as to whether the animals from the Coolum dispersal ended up in Wallace Park. Ten flyingfoxes from the Coolum site were fitted with satellite tracking devices. Some stayed around Coolum, some have indeed spent time at Wallace Park, and they have even been tracked as far as Gladstone and Moreton. It appears the bats treat each camp as a motel, so even when the roosts are full, they may not be the same animals from one day to the next.

To put it all in perspective, at last count there were 714 flying-fox camps across Australia, around half of which are occupied. Many are temporary lasting just a few years. Dispersal attempts potentially increase conflicts with humans.

I note that the flying fox are beginning to disperse from Wallace Park, probably because the local paperbarks have largely stopped flowering.

I sincerely hope that this depletion will continue and may soon provide some relief for affected residents.

KIN Kin residents can look forward to better phone reception thanks to the Federal Government’s $100 million Mobile Black Spot Program.

Noosa mayor Noel Playford has welcomed the inclusion of the hinterland town that is set to gain a new mobile phone base station in the first round of the program.

Cr Playford said Noosa Council and the local community put Kin Kin’s case for mobile phone infrastructure to the government in response to calls from the community. “For the sake of Kin Kin’s economic prosperity and for the safety of our residents during severe weather I’m pleased to say the Federal Government has answered the call,“ Cr Playford said. “Residents will join with me in thanking our Federal Member Warren Truss for his support in also supporting the submission.�

Open and impressive ON offer is an exclusive architecturally designed home that will impress anyone who is looking for a one-of-a-kind home in an enviable location.

Designed by award-winning architect Elizabeth WatsonBrown, this home is part of an exclusive collection from the original Elysium plan.

Living is spread over two levels and the intricate planning is evident from the moment visitors enter through the oversized entry doors.

An indoor/outdoor living zone with built-in barbecue and access to the kitchen and a garden deck welcomes as visitors enter the home’s foyer.

The unique design of this living and dining zone encourages relaxation and offers a place for friends and family to gather for an al fresco meal or take in the sun on the garden deck next to the sparkling lap pool.

The space enjoys direct access to the galley style kitchen which features Gaggenau appliances, stainless steel benchtops, an integrated dishwasher, plus timber and two pac cabinetry and ample space for storage.

The kitchen flows through to a second dining zone which is petitioned from the casual living space and the raised home office nook and library.

Here the ceilings soar to the second level creating a greater sense of space while large sliding doors in the lounge open out to a covered deck and lounge deck where the winter sun can best be enjoyed.

Upstairs houses the sleeping accommodation and the master retreat will not disappoint with grand proportions, a dressing room plus an ensuite and spa bath that is suspended over the living space.

Two more bedrooms are located upstairs and each features built-in wardrobes and access to a private balcony.

This property also features a pleasant treed outlook, enjoys no neighbours at the rear and access to a first class recreation club at Elysium that includes a lap pool, tennis court, gymnasium, resident lounge and mixed-use zones, while Noosa Springs Golf Club and facilities are just moments away.

Housing values outstrip rising debt ON the back of low mortgage rates and rising home values the level of household and housing debt is continuing to increase, according to CoreLogic RP Data senior research analyst Cameron Kusher.

Each quarter, following the release of the finance and wealth national accounts by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the Reserve Bank publishes its household finance ratios, Mr Kusher said.

“These updated ratios for March 2015 were released at the end of last week and provide an important measurement around the extent to which households are leveraged,” he said.

“The ratio of household debt to disposable income is recorded at 155.9 per cent, which is a record high. Furthermore the ratio has increased by 2.7 per cent over the past year; its greatest annual increase since the 12 months to June 2010.”

Mr Kusher said the level of debt had been relatively flat for a number of years however, it started to climb once again following a low point in the June 2012 quarter and has since increased from 145.4 per cent to 155.9 per cent.

“The increase in the ratio coincided with the returning growth in home values across the capital cities,” he said.

But it’s not all bad news as Mr Kusher said although household and housing debt had increased, so too had the value of these assets, which increased at a faster pace than the accumulated debt.

“As at March 2015, the ratio of housing assets to disposable income was 447.4 per cent, the highest it’s been since September 2010,” he said.

“Similarly, the ratio of financial assets to disposable income was recorded at 356.4 per cent, its highest level on record.”

“While the level of debt is rising, the gearing of this debt continues to fall due to the rise in the value of these assets. The likely reason for the fall is the combination of low interest rates resulting in a more rapid repayment of debt and the growth in home values.

The high household savings ratio is also a contributing factor, with many households focused on drilling down their debt levels while interest rates remain low and certainty around economic conditions is volatile.”

Mr Kusher said the RBA is likely to be concerned with the ongoing rise in overall household and housing debt even though the concern would be somewhat tempered by the fact that the value of the assets households own were also rising and the overall level of gearing was trending lower.

“It’s important to remember when looking at this data it is a national snapshot and ratios across individual regions may be very different,” he said.

“Obviously Sydney is seeing very strong growth in home values yet people are taking on more debt to enter the market. On the other hand, many capital cities have seen very little increase in the value of their housing assets over recent years.

“Of course people who have recently taken out a mortgage are likely to have a significantly higher level of gearing than those that have been paying off a mortgage for a number of years. This is important to remember particularly in the case of a downturn in the housing market, the potential arising problems in a downturn are unlikely to be geographically uniform.”

On the back of low mortgage rates and rising home values the level of household and housing debt is continuing to increase, according to CoreLogic RP Data senior research analyst Cameron Kusher.

Get your windows covered bydesign WITH DI HENSHALL CURTAINS have been used for literally thousands of years.

Historically, curtains were used for privacy, warmth, soundproofing and light control and all of these reasons are still valid.

About 20 years ago, curtains suddenly fell from favour with the (rejuvenated) generation of timber shutters, roller blinds and roman blinds.

It was considered tres ordinaire to have curtains, which was a pity, because curtains can completely transform a room, adding warmth and texture.

Luckily, curtains are back in fashion and some of the fabrics that are available today are mindblowingly fabulous for curtaining.

The United States popularised timber shutters, which were used for thousands of years in the Far East, and Western countries and Australia soon took to them like ducks to water. Most shutters

were exorbitantly expensive, being made in Australia using timbers such as western red cedar and fruitwoods.

Following on from these, plastic or vinyl shutters were then available for exterior use, instead of timber, which required maintenance.

China reared its industrial head and there are now many, many manufacturing industries, including shutter making, that have closed or moved their operations offshore.

They now manufacture in China or other parts of Asia and ship back to Australia at lower prices.

Roller blinds, venetian blinds and roman blinds are a perennial favourite for many different applications.

The major leap forward with these is remote control electric operation, which dispenses with the clumsy tangle of cords or chains that used to be the norm with blinds.

A question often debated is what is better - curtains or blinds.

The answer is - it depends.

The decision making relies on

There's a lot to consider when deciding on a window dressing light, air flow and look are just the beginning. many variables and considerations - one of the main issues is air-flow and light control.

The sun comes up at some ungodly hour in the morning during summer, so it is very helpful to have block-out window treatments in the bedroom.

This is where curtains are the star because they can be installed to cover floor to ceiling, wall to wall, with block out linings to eliminate almost all light.

However, they can also block air-flow, which can be a problem.

Shutters will allow airflow without the annoying tap-tapping of a roller, venetian or roman blind, but they do not block out as much light as well fitting curtains.

Back in fashion, curtains can completely transform a room, adding warmth and texture.

Shutters also need room to be openable (blades) without snagging window/door frames and need to be either folding or sliding, both of which can take up considerable space that needs to be considered.

Roller blinds are wonderful when you don’t want to even acknowledge that you have window treatments when not in use.

They tuck up neatly into a small roller which can be easily hidden altogether by either a pelmet or recess into the ceiling.

Add the motor to this and there is a completely invisible, highly

efficient window covering. Roman blinds are nice when a decorative heading is desired, as all roman blinds have a pelmet effect of at least 300mm.

Venetian blinds are great for when privacy is needed, without compromising the amount of light into the room, as the blades can be tilted to avert visibility.

Whatever the right choice is, consider having some window treatments.

The effect of covering windows is wonderful, especially on a dark, cool night when a room can be completely transformed by the choice of window dressing.

“I’m just so excited to be doing this, to have my own agency,” he said.

“It’s a great way to offer my clients, new and returning, even better service than before.”

David has a strong affinity with the Noosa hinterland, achieving record sales prices for Doonan and surrounding areas while gaining a deep knowledge and understanding of the hinterland market.

David said he was sure his proven sales record, with over $100 million in sales over the past 10 years, plus his passion for the industry will help him drive his new venture forward.

And it’s clear to see, with numerous locals stopping to congratulate David as we enjoy our morning break.

Asked to share the secret to his success, David said it was all about setting the right price for a property.

“If a property is priced right, it will sell fast,” he said. “For example, two homes I had listed in Doonan in the $700,000 range were both sold on the first inspection. There’s a demand in that market and the homes were priced right.”

But for David, it’s about working hard for the client to make sure they get the best price for their home.

“I want to see the hinterland grow.

I want to see homes selling for the best price,” he said.

“It’s all about an achievable attitude and being professional and ethical. That’s what I’m about.”

Sales agent David Berns has launched his own real estate agency.

Zinc Properties changes hands rental properties.

FORMER sales agent from Merimbula, NSW, Jon Kelly has recently taken over the reins of Zinc Properties Noosa, and he couldn’t be happier with the transition.

“I saw Zinc as an exciting opportunity,” he said.

After moving to the Sunshine Coast from Merimbula, real estate agent Jon set out to find a boutique agency where he could share his sales skills and passion for real estate.

Jon, who grew up in Wales, was excited to bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the local industry with close to a decade spent in the UK real estate industry and even a stint running a sheep and cattle property on the Snowy River.

“After moving to Australia in 2000 we had several holidays in Noosa, and I always knew that if I could find an independent, boutique agency with a strong, established brand and a reputation for providing quality service, we would make the move to the Sunshine Coast to give our family the lifestyle the Sunshine Coast is famous for,” Jon said.

Jon, a father of two, said he first heard about the Zinc brand 10 years ago and was excited to join an agency with an experienced team already in place and an excellent portfolio of prestige holiday homes and quality permanent

Jon, who took over the reins earlier this year, said the team at Zinc Properties Noosa had enjoyed a smooth and successful transition of new ownership.

“I am highly delighted with the start we have had. We have already increased the property portfolio and sales projections are looking very positive,” he said.

“It may sound like a cliche, but I soon realised that to be successful in the real estate business, the first priority needed to be professional service closely followed by an energetic and enthusiastic approach.

“Real estate is really about people; if you are genuinely interested in matching the right people with the right property - whether in sales or rentals - the results will speak for themselves.

And happy clients generate referrals, and so it goes on.”

Jon said the Zinc team would stay as it is and he couldn't wait to work closely with some of the highly experienced sales agents such as Karen Harman and Coen Oort.

RSL gets ready to rock it right out

By TANIA PHILLIPS THE names Kevin Borich and Phil Emmanuel are synonymous with guitar genius and good times and they’re on their way to the Tewantin-Noosa RSL. They are two of the best-known Australian rockers and between them they’ve played everywhere from smoke-filled pubs to festivals in front of 50,000 fans.

It would be easy to spend a day arguing who is the best but really there isn’t any need because they are performing together at the RSL on Friday 10 July.

Kevin Borich is well-known for his high-energy electric guitar style and his performance is hailed throughout the music industry as world class.

Rock and blues audiences love and revere Borich and he is one of the few artists who successfully straddles the two genres.

One of the country's best known rockers and blues men Kevin Borich will play the RSL with fellow guitar virtuoso Phil Emmanuel on Friday.

He has received abundant accolades including Best Guitarist at the Australian Rock Music Awards, Concert of the Year

Award, the Australian Blues Music Festival Heritage Award and the Australian Blues Foundation Hall of Fame.

By the age of nine, Phil Emmanuel was already working as a professional musician. Phil’s musical roots stem back to the ’50s, '60s and ’70s and his style has largely been defined by the classic guitar sounds of this era.

His preference is for the “instrumental tunes that defined the sound of the electric guitar when it was a new instrument”.

His accolades include the Country Music Hall of Fame, Hands of Fame and Musician of the Year awards.

This is set to be a night of wicked guitar skills from two of Australia’s most renowned singersongwriters.

Kevin Borich and Phil Emmanuel are appearing at the TewantinNoosa RSL on Friday 10 July at 8pm. Tickets are available from reception or Dial ’N’ Charge on 5447 1766 and are free for members or $10 for non-members.

The Pearl of the Orient Life of

brine PHIL JARRATT

I'M A sucker for historical tourism. I love to walk the streets and fields of history, and when you find a place where you can do that as well as be astonished at the sights that greet you at every corner, and eat like a king for next to nothing ... well, George Town, Penang had me at hello.

One visit turned into two, and we were still reluctant to leave. Now that we’ve left Malaysia, I find myself flipping through the photos on my phone and reliving every exquisite moment spent discovering “the pearl of the Orient”, this dot at the edge of the Andaman Sea that was once one of the world’s great transit and trading ports, linking the kingdoms and colonial empires of the Far East, the Middle East and Europe.

George Town is the major city of the otherwise unremarkable island of Penang, and the two names are virtually interchangeable, but it was originally named Betelnut Island by the Chinese traders who first began using it as a port in the 15th century. It was later claimed by the Islamic sultans of Sumatra, but in 1771 the sultan of Kedah signed an all-encompassing trading agreement with the British East India Company, and 15 years later (the world moved slower then), Captain Francis Light took possession of the island, renaming it Prince of Wales Island. Despite this unimaginative naming, Light turned out to be a progressive colonialist the equal of Raffles in Singapore, granting land title to anyone who would create an enterprise on it. A duty free port where liberalism was the watchword, Penang (no one ever called it Prince of Wales) thrived, attracting more than 10,000 settlers by 1800 and becoming the capital of the Straits Settlements, the loose alliance of the city states of Penang, Melaka and Singapore.

By the middle of the 19th century, it was all going on in George Town. The hub of the Chinese opium trade (which represented more than half the island’s revenue), its rickshawladen streets were peppered with drug dens and brothels. It was considered to be one of the most dangerous and exciting places in the East, and it keeps that rakish ambience today, although the reality is that its crime rate is one of the lowest in Malaysia.

We stayed both times in a modest hotel a few streets back from the ferry terminal on the edge of Little India. From there, you can walk through the city’s colonial past, arts-oriented present and techno future, marvelling at the mayhem and magic of the various ethnic quarters, salivating over the smells emanating from street carts and kerbside kitchens. After some wonderful eating experiences in Melaka, I was keen to delve further into nonya food, the Straits Settlement cuisine that has grown out of Malay, Chinese and Vietnamese influences. I managed to taste a bit here and there

Tuk-tuk drag race, George Town.

We're back in Bali now, albeit briefly, and as befits a second home, we have a second family here. Wayan Agus Parwita and his wife Made are about the same age as our kids, and their gorgeous kids, Putu and Kadek, are much the same as our youngest and muchmissed grandchildren. Wayan has worked with me on my book and film projects as driver, navigator, translator and cultural interpreter, and has become a dear friend. What a special treat to be invited to share in Putu's fifth birthday celebration. from street carts, but the draw of the city’s Indian restaurants proved too much. Including a breakfast roti, I ate five Indian meals on the trot (no pun intended), and they ranged from great to spectacular.

In 2008, the historic centre of George Town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its “unique architectural and cultural townscape without parallel anywhere in East and Southeast Asia”. Property prices went through the roof and there was a rush by developers to turn crumbling old buildings into boutique heritage hotels, while at the same time the entire city was given a facelift. The most visible aspect of this is George Town’s street art, which has been supported by the Penang government since 2010, commissioning murals by the likes of Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic, whose bicycle mural on Lebuh Armenian is a work of great and simple beauty. But the most impressive restoration in George Town predates the World Heritage declaration by almost two de-

cades, and has a story that typifies the romance of old Penang. The 38-room “Blue Mansion” was commissioned in the 1880s by Cheong Fatt Tze, a pauper from Guandong Province in China who arrived in George Town penniless in 1856 and took a job lugging buckets of river water to the homes of the colonialists. By the end of the century, he was known as “the Rockefeller of the East”, with a vast fortune built on property and trading, including opium and wine. When Cheong died in 1916, the Blue Mansion was bequeathed to his huge family, with the proviso that it could not be sold until the death of his youngest son, who had been born only two years earlier, to Cheong’s favourite concubine, and who lived until 1989. In the intervening years the family quarrelled and fell on hard times, the mansion was rented to more than 30 families and went to wrack and ruin. In 1990, it was purchased by a group put together by architects and philanthropists Laurence Loh and Lin Lee Loh-Lim, and the hard work began.

Organic is a lifestyle choice GOING organic is more than a trend, it’s a lifestyle choice and Bio Shop Noosa’s Uwe Wullfen shares his top five reasons to make the switch.

1. Organic products meet stringent standards. Organic certification provides assurance products have been grown and handled according to strict procedures without any toxic chemical inputs.

2. Organic production reduces health risks. Organic agriculture is one way to prevent nasty chemicals from getting into the air, earth and water

that sustain us.

3. Organic producers strive to preserve diversity. The loss of a large variety of species (biodiversity) is one of the most pressing environmental concerns. The good news is that many organic farmers and gardeners have been collecting and preserving seeds, and growing unusual varieties for decades – try something that looks a little different. You might just like it!

4. Organic farming helps keep rural communities alive.

Healthy Organic agriculture

can be a lifeline for small farms providing an alternative market where sellers can command fair and decent prices for crops.

5. Organic food tastes great!

It’s common sense; well-balanced soils produce strong, healthy plants that become nourishing food for people and animals. Organic food tastes the best!

Discover the best organic produce around at Bio Shop Noosa located in Belmondos, Rene Street, Noosaville.

Bio Shop Noosa's Uwe Wullfen said there is a range of benefits when you switch to organic.

Chiropractic care goes a long way

DID you know your thyroid gland has an integral effect on each and every cell in your body?

Noosa naturopath Deb Roberson said the small gland in your throat made a big difference to your health and energy.

“Our thyroid gland is like the sparkplug in our car- it may be a small part but if it’s not working properly, it affects the whole of your car’s

ability to run smoothly (or even start). The thyroid gland and hormones are responsible for the spark of energy in every cell,” Deb said.

“Most people think of low thyroid as just causing weight gain, however sub-optimal thyroid function affects every body system including digestion, hormone balance including adrenal/stress hormones, mental and cognitive function leading to poor memory, con-

centration and focus and your immune system.”

Deb said some of the symptoms of low thyroid function include skin feeling dry, sluggish digestive system and feeling moody, plus more.

To find out more about your thyroid gland and how it may be affecting your health, phone Deb on 5447 6380 to book an appointment or drop into Deb’s clinic on level 1, 5 Gibson Road, Noosaville.

THE use of essential oils dates back to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans who would use the oils, extracted from cells of flowers and plants, to treat many ailments.

Today, 100 per cent pure essential oils such as lavender, clove and peppermint can be used to treat an array of ailments from anxiety to insomnia and the common cold.

There are a number of ways to use essential oils including an oil burner or diffuser in the home or workplace. An oil burner or diffuser can create the ideal ambience and at the same time be quite therapeutic.

Inhaling the oils by putting five drops into hot water, dropping some into a bath or massaging the oil into your body are other ways to enjoy the benefits of essential oils.

Oils such as peppermint are said to help with a cold, flu, asthma, bronchitis and stiffness when inhaled or the oil can relieve headaches when rubbed into the temple.

“Chiropractic care can help your kids heal and develop without the need for drugs like antibiotics or surgery.

“Research studies indicate that chiropractic care may help with up to 93 per cent of children with ear infections as well as improvements with other common problems including chronic tonsillitis and even bedwetting.”

Hands on for healing

Implants drill in to health LOSING natural teeth is something that can affect a person’s life. Aesthetically, it may cause them to be more conscious about their smile and functionally they may be unable to eat certain foods.

Due to structural changes in their mouth they may even experience headaches, jaw and neck pain.

Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth permanently

and have become a predictable and reliable treatment.

In cases where the patient requires full dentures, the use of implants to anchor the denture is a great solution to hold the denture firmly in place. Dental implants are small screws made of pure titanium that are surgically implanted in the jaw.

Sunrise Dental uses Straumann dental implants. These are

Swiss manufactured with quality components, this being important for treatment outcomes.

If you are unsure if a dental implant is the best treatment for you, make a time to see Dr Wilkinson who will discuss options and make sure the outcome works within treatment plan guidelines for optimum oral health. - See more at www.sunrisedental.com. au.

It's down to absorption HAVE you heard the saying, “You are what you eat”?

Well, that’s not entirely accurate according to naturopath Yolanda Falivene who says more to the point, you are what you absorb.

“You may be eating a healthy diet but if your digestion is compromised, you may not be absorbing or activating the nutrients in your foods,” she said.

“Feeling tired? Experiencing wind or irregular movements?

Feel full or bloated after eating?

Any nausea or reflux? Chances are your digestive organs are not secreting the acid or enzymes to adequately break down your food. Or your gut flora is imbalanced, fermenting your food creating acidity.”

“Feeling stressed? Stress can shut down your digestive system as part of the normal ‘flight or fight’ reaction,” she said.

“Indulging in the odd drink and takeaway, drinking tap water or too many coffees? These things as well as pesticides on food, garden and insect sprays can overload the liver and deposit in organs, decreasing enzyme production and healthy gut flora.

“Without enzymes and balanced flora, you will not be able to activate vitamins, minerals and proteins - the building blocks of our body tissues - and all that money spent on vitamins and a healthy diet is passing through you down the drain!”

Yolanda says, as a result, gut lining deteriorates and your immunity may be affected. Food intolerances may develop and you

Get thinking about spring and summer now with IPL treatments at Riverside Beauty.

Spoilt for choice DO YOU have a few favourite pieces in your wardrobe that always make you feel good?

Despite purchasing lots of “must have” seasonal impulse buys, it’s often the items with simple classic style and quality that we reach for year after year.

It might be a handbag that is the perfect size, a pair of shoes that fit like a glove, a printed scarf that goes with everything or a versatile jacket that you can’t leave home without.

At Spoilt Noosa, this season’s genuine leather jacket is a standout. Available in black or tobacco and priced at only $149.95, it has contrast stitching, zip detail and is fully lined.

The jacket can be mixed and matched to create a myriad of

different looks. It can be worn casually during the day with a bamboo top, leggings, long skirt or jeans and more formally for work either with a pencil skirt, tailored pants and a fabulous scarf.

For evenings the jacket looks great worn with some statement jewellery whether it be some chunky silver, a string of pearls, beads or bling.

To complete your outfit just add one of our leather handbags in a plain or patterned style, a belt and a pair of designer look sunglasses.

So pop into Spoilt Noosa at 22 Rene Street Noosaville and check out our stunning range of clothing and accessories.

All dressed up in a black chiffon dress, evening belt with gold buckle, evening sandals, gold mesh bag and Austrian crystal necklace.

Ready for summer IT may be winter and bodies are wrapped up in warm clothes but now really is the time to get ready for warmer weather.

Sharon Cassidy from Riverside Beauty said that people should look after their bodies to ensure they are looking their best for spring and summer and “IPL is the perfect solution for smooth hair-free skin”.

With several treatments on offer in the market, Riverside Beauty uses Quantum Intense Pulse Light (IPL),

the most advanced technology for permanent hair reduction. IPL uses a method known as selective photothermolysis which involves disabling hair growth mechanisms by raising the temperature of the hair follicle high enough to damage the germinative cells while also protecting the surrounding tissue which offers a safe and comfortable treatment.

Sharon said: “Unwanted hair is one of the most common concerns we hear from clients and with IPL we can offer amazing results with treat-

Muppet puts on a show CONGRATULATIONS to Muppet who has won his owner, Julie Hemsley, a double pass to BCC Noosa 5 Cinemas.

Muppet is 14 years old and while he only has one eye, he loves his run along the beach twice a day.

Julie said she came to look after Muppet after his owner passed away three years ago, but the little guy has settled into his new life in Marcus Beach making lots of friends among the regular dog walkers.

Ones with treats in their pockets are his favourite, ac-

cording to Julie.

If you have a furry, scaly or prickly friend, we would love to learn more about them.

Send you photo to competitions@noosatoday.net.au and you could go in the draw to win two tickets to BCC Noosa 5 Cinemas.

Preventing ticks, fleas outbreak

By RICHARD MURRIHY

Nexgard is the next generation in flea and tick control. use on puppies from eight weeks that are heavier than 2kg.

As a chew treat, Nexgard won’t wash off if your pet is a swimmer, and offers one month protection meaning a six pack will last six months.

Remember ticks and fleas don’t go on holidays, they just slow down during winter.

Nexgard is available from Pet Stock Noosa, 10 Eenie Creek Road, Noosaville. Phone 5440 5102.

1186489-KC24-15

EVEN though winter is a quiet time for fleas and ticks, the critters are still active with cases of tick and flea outbreaks still possible.

Fleas and ticks are hitchikers and are slower now with the reduced movement of marsupial animals and of course less humidity, but family pets still need to be treated to prevent outbreaks or tick bites.

Nexgard is the newest product on the market and offers a new delivery method as a chewable treat rather than a topical treatment.

Nexgard is an adulticide killer of flea and ticks and has been tested as safe for

Noosaville stockfeed & Pet suPPlies We have a great range of feeds for all creatures great & small, from horses to guinea pigs.

Pet products such as discounted flea & tick treatments for cats & dogs.

All stocked items available at very competitive prices.

Festival’s back bigger, better THE Noosa Festival of Surfing is back bigger than ever before. The festival has announced the first round of online competitor entries is now open for the 25th festival that promises “eight days of pure stoke”.

The largest surfing event in the world (in terms of competitor numbers) is returning from 5-12 March 2016, boasting more divisions with the addition of a Girls’ Under 15.

Recent years have seen an inspiring growth in junior competitors, but with some girls having to compete against surfers three or four years their senior.

Now, with under 15 events for both boys and girls, the Noosa Festival of Surfing will offer specific divisions for six decades of surfers, from the juniors to the over 70s.

The new divisions are in addition to all the familiar favourites including the Old Mal, the Logger Pro and the Noserider divisions.

Not only is the Noosa Festival of Surfing continuing to expand its demographic, it is also hosting a diversity of entrants within the specialist events.

This year’s competition saw both genders and surfers spanning almost 25 years vy-

ing for several of these titles.

The festival is anticipating an even bigger and better event for 2016, with a continued surge of interest from an international contingent that now includes Italy, China, Vanuatu, Taiwan and Portugal along with the more familiar surfing countries, with families and clubs bringing with them competitors aged from seven to 70 plus for Noosa’s internationally renowned celebration of surfing.

The Noosa Festival of Surfing is now receiving entries for the Old Mal and all age divisions. Visit www.noosafestivalofsurfing.com for further information.

Richard pitching with Riley at second and Cody at first.

Noosa’s winning ways continue

By RICHARD MURRIHY THE Noosa under 15s continued their good form with a strong win against Kilcoy in the softball at the weekend.

The first innings saw Noosa get the opposition out without a run.

Josh S took a catch at third, while Noosa batted well to put seven runs in over the plate.

Caterina hit a three bagger to centre field, and Riley Chimed in with a two bagger, everyone else ran well between the bases.

The second innings saw Kilcoy get two runs home with Shinai, filling in for Kilcoy, hitting a three bagger.

Noosa replied with six runs, with Josh helping with a two bagger. Impressively, Noosa had not had a player caught.

The third saw Josh try his hand at pitching to go with his hit and catch, and he did a good job with Kilcoy kept scoreless again.

Noosa backed up with four runs when the match was called to have a 17-4 win.

Charles hit a two bagger and finally Noosa did pop one in the air and it was caught in centre field.

Meanwhile, the 17 Blacks had a good win while the Whites went down.

The afternoon game had the men having a run fest with Gary slamming three home runs and Riley getting his first home run in the men’s competition.

Saturday night saw the trivia night raising funds for the master’s comp coming up, and congratulations to the Amigos who got up in the last round to take victory. noosa.starcommunity.com.au

Great weather... great catch

By JACK MANGROVE

river mouth with the good old pilchard a favourite with anglers, fresh mullet strips and salted bonito strips baits have also hit the spot.

Good-sized elbow slapper whiting have been taken around Dog Beach and the Frying Pan, with freshly pumped yabbies the gun bait here. Woods Bay has again seen some magnificent trevally with golden trevally to 70cm taken this week along with giant trevally.

First light has been the prime time with surface lures doing the trick.

Upriver flathead have again featured prominently with angler preferring brightly coloured soft plastics, worked close to the bottom.

On the beach, the gutters along Noosa’s North Shore have been firing with some cracker bream over the 30cm mark as well as tailor and some nice swallow tail dart.

Look for those gutter with a good outward flowing rip and work the area near there, as predator tend to sit in wait just outside the rip. A couple of jewies have also been in the mix from Northshore through the week.

In the Freshwater, Lake Macdonald has seen Bass tight in against the weed in Bass Bay and around Three Ways. Grub pattern soft plastics fished in and around the weed are doing the trick.

Best of luck on your fishing adventures.

NOOSA anglers have been spoilt over the last week with some outstanding weather giving the perfect opportunity to head out for a fish.

For offshore anglers, the local reefs have been producing with most holding good quality snapper. Heading for Sunshine Reef, anglers have been treated to sweetlip, trout, Mouri cod and tuna.

A charter to The Coffees on Sunday produced some great fish including sweetlip, Venus tusk fish, Mack tuna, squire, Moses perch and pearl perch.

Another charter headed to North reef and bagged some quality snapper and pearl perch.

In the river, the fishing has been equally good with the river mouth producing some nice luderick, tailor, bream and trevally.

The luderick have only turned up over the last couple of weeks and local anglers have had some good success with ‘Coolum Cabbage’ sea cabbage as well as peeled prawns.

Luderick dislike clear sunlit water, so the best results are usually on a cloudy day with the water slightly discoloured. The last two hours of the run out tide and the first hour of the run in tide around dawn or dusk, are the best conditions.

Good numbers of tailor have also started to make their way through the

Cliff Grey from Rosebud in Victoria stays at the Noosa River Holiday Park for six weeks every year and fishes at the same spot on Munna Beach every day while he's here.

Self-belief wins through

By BRIAN STOCKWELL KAWANA Premier Men had something to prove on Saturday night when they came up against the Madill Motor Group Noosa Lions in the Sunshine Coast Football Premier League.

Replaced by Noosa in the FFA cup due to a misdemeanour, the top-of-the-ladder side was looking to make amends.

Noosa, however, had come with plenty of self-belief after some excellent performances to take out the Sunshine Coast Fire and the Hervey Bay United in the FFA cup and only narrowly going down to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Queensland NPL champions Palm Beach.

The Madill Motor Group Lions

dominated early in the match with a number of clear chances, two of which hit the post.

The muddy conditions, however, werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that conducive to attacking football and the teams went into the sheds at half time locked in a scoreless draw.

Kawana, depleted by the loss of a few regular players, made the second half a tougher proposition with numerous counter attacks.

But Noosa has the best defensive record in the league thanks to the speed and skill of young backs Chris Jancevski and Aaron Waters together with the experience of Michael Williams, repelled each of the attacking forays with ease.

Just as the crowd was expecting a drawn match, Matt Needham

collected a well targeted cross from Craig Hawkins and dispatched it to the back of the net which saw Kawanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopes of proving a point go down in the mud.

Noosa 1 d Kawana 0.

On Friday night The Lions hosted two over 35s games.

The Noosa Gold side came back from a one-nil deficit with Ronan Larking and John Pollard scoring in the last quarter to win their game against Woombye.

But it was the top-of-the-table clash that held the most interest with Noosa Blue needing to win to take first position off its local rivals Coolum.

Coming back from an extended absence due to injury (and age) goalkeeper Matt â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dutchyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hol-

landâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first touch for the season was a goal assist with his drop kick bouncing to striker Craig Thompson who hit a half volley that any forward would be proud of straight into the top right of the goal from 25 metres.

Coolum battled valiantly but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find the equaliser.

In the 74th minute Thompson put another ball in the back of the net with what can only be described as a belly ball.

Noosaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-nil win takes it one point clear of Coolum on the way to its coveted fourth championship in a row.

Club’s best year, says Law Between the

flags RON LANE

WHEN one reads the annual report of the Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club for the 2014/’15 season, it becomes quite apparent that the words of club president Craig Law were spot on when he said, “It was, one of our most enjoyable and exciting seasons in many years.”

Addressing the performance of his directors Law said, “Each of you embraced your roles with passion and enthusiasm which has now taken our club to unprecedented heights and set the tone for many years to come.”

With regard to support groups, he said, ‘Most importantly I would like to acknowledge and thank all

our club’s sponsors and supporters, who allow us the ability to continue to deliver a quality lifesaving service to both the local and tourist communities that visit our beach.”

However, one point in his report that speaks volumes for the future of the club was that during the season they conducted a major overhaul of the club’s constitution and by-laws.

This indicates that the club has its sights set in the right direction. With regards to beach patrols club captain (director of Lifesaving) Scott Summers said, “For the first time in at least three years, we have used only our own members to comply with our Patrol obligations and did not need to draw on the workforce of the Brisbane Life Saving Service, nor any of our neighbouring clubs for supplemental patrol support.” Regarding patrolling members, he acknowledged the outstanding work of chief

training officers Steve Boyd and Bill Twigger during the last two seasons.

For the IRB and ATV, patrol work which is becoming so vital in today's patrol system, the Captain noted “the incredible support of their major supporter Norris Motor Group.”

Beach statistics for the year tell us that there were 57,806 beach attendances, 38 total rescue incidents and 1695 preventative actions.

Major Awards in Lifesaving were; Best Patrol, Patrol 2, Patrol Captain of the Year Julian Ashmore, Lifesaver of the Year Natalie McMaster and Club Man of the Year (Dave Higgins Memorial Award) Peter Brewer.

Most Patrol Hours James Ross 91.5 hrs.

Director of Junior Activities David Gleeson said, “With great assistance from our entire parent group this season must go down as the best ever.”

He then went on to thank all those who had helped down through the years but were now retiring.

Among their major award winners were: Sunshine Spirit Award Cooper Turner, Max Pettigrove Outstanding Achievement Award, Maverick Pettigrove and Redwood Nipper of the Year Award, Jonty Redwood.

In the Surf Sports arena, this season has been truly outstanding for Sunshine. Director Craig Law said, “I am not really sure I could write an annual Surf Sports report that would do justice to what has been achieved.” With so many members winning medals at State and National level in events right across the board, to name just a few would be unfair.

So to Sunshine’s entire competition team and their coaches, on behalf of all us in our community, “You did us proud.” “The increasing number of patrol members on our beach is testament to the way our club is running,”

said Bill Twigger, director of Education and Development. To sum up the feeling in the club, Bill said in his report, “To my mind the giving, the selflessness and the friendship are what make our club so great.” Well said Bill, well said. On the weekend, the Noosa IRB team took part in their State championships held at Mooloolaba. This squad which is still in the learning process, had teams in semifinals as well as the girls into the final of the Tube Rescue event. Racing Team captain Chris Vaughn said, “We are happy with our progress and will contest the National Titles at Mooloolaba in two weeks.”

“To strengthen our work as patrolling members, crewies are now also doing advanced courses in first aid. Always remember these teams can be called on to do rescue work in remote areas so every bit of knowledge is vital,” Vaughn said.

The Noosa team’s hard at work.

Hard paddle means top results from Outriggers

By JO SEARLE NOOSA Outrigger Canoe Club members have been paddling hard to clinch some great wins. In May, teams contested the Australian Outrigger Canoe Racing Association (AOCRA) Marathon National Titles at Maroochydore, and recently teams contested the Great Barrier Reef Ocean Challenge.

Earlier this month, NOCC paddlers headed off to the Great Barrier Reef Ocean Challenge, which is the longest outrigger iron race in Australia. The 45 kilometre course is from Yorkey’s Knob to Port Douglas.

Making waves in water polo pool

By JOLENE OGLE THREE St Andrew’s Anglican College students are making waves in water polo with two selected to represent Australia in South Africa in December and another having just returned from playing in Europe.

Nick Porter, 17, who recently returned from competing in Croatia, Serbia and Hungary as part of the Australia Born 98 youth boys team, said he was looking forward to the coming season.

“I’m excited to get back into it,” he said.

“I’m looking forward to the school season and national league. The KFC Breakers will take me all over Australia.

This year, we go to Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney.”

Meanwhile, Jackie Sjogren, 15, and Dylan Coolican, 17, are amping up their training regimes as they prepare to represent Australia in South Africa in December this year.

Jackie said her trip to South Africa would be her first time travelling outside of Australia to compete, and added that while it was scary, she was excited.

Training has already start-

While Jackie has played basketball since she was five, she only entered into water polo three years ago, and said she was proud to have already been chosen to represent Australia.

Dylan, who used to play with his dad in a social competition, said it was inevitable he would jump in the pool and join the water polo team when

By JOLENE OGLE THE Noosa District Netball Association has received a boost, thanks to Member for Noosa Glen Elmes joining the team as a sponsor.

Mr Elmes, who currently sponsors all football codes, tennis clubs, sailing clubs, cricket teams and the coast guard, said he was excited to add netball to the list.

“Netball has the highest team participation rate of any sport for women and girls, and doesn’t get the sponsor support and media coverage it deserves,” he said.

he started school.

When it comes to heading to South Africa, Dylan said he was excited.

“We’ve played New Zealand before, but to play a different country will be really interesting,” he said.

St Andrew’s water polo coach Cam Piper said seeing the students succeed was the most rewarding part of his job.

“It’s all their hard work.

They’ve put in the hard yards to get there, but it’s very fulfilling to see them put in the hard work and get results,” he said.

“I hope more locals will come along and support our team.”

Mr Elmes said he took pride in supporting local sporting teams as team sports gave children a “very, very good grounding”.

“Sponsoring local clubs enables me to put something back into the community that supports me and also it's really important that kids play sport, play sports that are team sports, and play sports that are participation sports,” he said.

“It gives them a very, very good grounding, and anything I can do to help

promote that, I’m more than happy to do.”

Noosa District Netball Association president Beverly Bullivant said sponsorship was integral to the club’s success.

“Sponsorship is everything for our association. It’s run by volunteers ... so dollars are very tight,” she said.

“Anything we can get goes straight back into our association and helps our girls go on representative trips, upgrades the courts and gives them a pathway to go further.”

Mayne with crushing win Tiger

talk JULIAN PITTS

The Fiona Winter Realty Noosa Tigers have smashed a young and depleted Nambour and Hinterland by 22 goals at Weyba Road last Saturday in front of a huge crowd who, prior to the senior match, were wowed by the presence of legendary football writer Mike Sheahan.

The Noosa boys were just far too body-strong and possessed too much class for a very inexperienced Nambour and Hinterland outfit.

Infact, to Nambour and Hinterland’s credit, it really wasn’t until well into the second half where Noosa started to apply significant scoreboard pressure.

In such a big win of course theTigers had plenty of winners but none better than onballer Nick Hill who amassed 40 odd possessions and continually gave forwards opportunity.

Coach James Gellie bagged seven goals in only his second appearance of the season with the Tiger forward line looking

The Noosa Tigers Reserves squad returned from the bye weekend with a full list of players to pick from for our clash against Nambour at Noosa.

With the senior squad also having minimal injury concerns, the Reserves had a squad of 32 players to pick from.

All the Noosa players represented the club extremely well in this match and were able to assist Pomona in recording a nine goal victory.

We also welcomed back past players Danny O’Brien and Zac Smith who were great contributors in a 194 point victory.

This week we travel to Brisbane for our top of the ladder clash with Mayne.

Our reserves team welcomed back Nick Sutton for his first game of the season after his long awaited return from injury.

Big Seb Clift was dominant up forward with a bag of seven and our on-ball division was again impressive with the way set the game up.
