Pool left in limbo THE future of the Tewantin State School’s pool is unknown as the school prepares to receive tenders for new lease owners. In a recent post on the Tewantin State School P&C Facebook page (14 May), school principal Corrie Connors said operating costs of the pool were not being met and said the school planned to invite offers for the licensing of the swimming pool. “A meeting was held between the principal and lease owner last week around renewing the lease at an increased cost to ensure costs incurred by the school were covered,” Ms Connors said.
“This is common practice to ensure the school does not continue to run at a loss.” The Tewantin State School P&C Facebook post on Saturday 14 May said the school would continue to hold school swimming lessons for students during Terms 1 and 4 only should a hire agreement not be reached after August this year. “School parents can be assured their children will continue to have access to the pool and swimming lessons in the future,” Ms Connors said. Tewantin State School was contacted for further comment, but did not reply before deadline. The current lease owners declined to comment at this time.

Offspring Star Jane Harber wears Secrets.
Adorned with Secrets NOOSA graced the red carpet with the silver screen’s biggest names at the 58th TV Week Logie Awards. For the second year running, Noosa-based jewellery, Secrets Shhh, made its way to TV’s night of nights on the arm, and fingers, of celebrities. During the 2016 Logie Awards, iStyle TV host Tam Wrigley wore Secrets 10CT white gold Tennis Bracelet and a Round Brilliant Dress Ring while interviewing the celebrities on the red carpet. Other stars and Australian
TV influencers including Jane Harber from Offspring and Joanna Werner from Werner Film Productions were also spotted wearing the Noosaborn jewellery. Secrets co-founder and managing director Jane Meredith said she was excited to spot celebrities wearing Secrets jewellery, especially last year’s Golden Logie winner. “We love the TV Week Logie Awards. Last year the Secrets team was so excited to see Channel Ten host Carrie Bickmore win Most Popular Personality on TV and Most
Popular Presenter,” Ms Meredith said. “Carrie was actually wearing a Secrets All Rounder Ring on the night, so we were really proud of her and excited to see our designs spotted on the red carpet.” However, Secrets weren’t only spotted on the red carpet, in collaboration with TV Week magazine and Celebrity and Hollywood Gifting, each nominee and VIP guest left the awards with a piece of Secrets luxury in the form of the Secrets Celebrity Style Duo Pearl Earrings.
Brilliant Beanie to fund brain cancer research MAY is National Brain Cancer Awareness month and local not-for-profit organisation Beyond Brilliant Foundation is hosting their Brilliant Beanie Lunch. The lunch will raise funds for Carrie Bickmore’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer, a foundation launched by the Channel Ten TV Presenter after she famously donned a beanie during her Gold Logie acceptance speech in 2015. Carrie’s husband died from a brain tumour in 2010, and Carrie launched the foundation to raise funds and awareness for brain cancer. Attendees to the Noosa lunch will be the first people in Australia to see the Brilliant Beanie that has been created by Jane Meredith and her team at Secrets Shhh. The Brilliant Beanie will be touring Australia visiting many fashion runways and celebrity spots to raise funds toward helping Carrie reach her goal of raising $1 million for brain cancer research.
Proceeds from the lunch will go towards setting up a 24-hour national call centre to assist those affected by brain cancer. Local founder of Beyond Brilliant Foundation Kerry Phairs knows first-hand the isolation of receiving a diagnosis and not having anyone to talk to about what to expect. In September 2013, Kerry and her husband Mark were told that Mark had two malignant brain tumours. Sadly, Mark lost his battle with brain cancer in June 2014. Kerry is keeping her promise to Mark to support those touched by brain tumours and has set up Beyond Brilliant Foundation to carry on his legacy. If you would like to be a part of this great event to be held at the Noosa Waterfront Restaurant on Saturday 28 May from 11.30am to 3pm, head to www.charitydos. com.au to book your tickets. Tickets are $95 each and include a twocourse meal and welcome drink.

Tender process: questions raised By JOLENE OGLE NOOSA Council has been asked to explain after the recommended outcome of tenders for the electric bus lease were made public before the unsuccessful company was notified. According to a report presented to the Services and Organisation committee meeting on Tuesday 10 May, council staff recommended the Higer Bus and Coach company be nominated as the preferred supplier of electric buses for a proposed sixmonth trial in Noosa. Bustech Pty Ltd chief commercial officer Damien Brown of the competing electric bus supply company, said he wasn’t aware of the recommended outcome until he was phoned by Noosa Today on Friday 13 May for his comment on the report. The report to council also included the proposed six-month lease costs for both tenders with Bustech Pty Ltd proposing a cost of $929,681 and Higer Bus and Coach proposing a cost of $131,200. At the general committee meeting at Noosa Council on Monday 16 May, project officer Joanna Ferris said the significant difference in cost
Noosa could soon be home to two electric buses. between the two tenders came down to technologies. “The two companies have different charging technologies, the buses produced by Higer can charge in under five minutes which means less
buses would be required to run the route,” Ms Ferris said. Despite the outcome, Mr Brown said he believed publishing the proposed costing for each tender is in violation of Noosa Council’s own
conditions of tendering. According to the conditions of tendering, clause 22.1 states “ ... prices will not be disclosed unless the principal (Noosa Council) is required to do so by law or under Right
to Information legislation”. Mr Brown said he had written to the council officer responsible for the tender process referring to the conditions of tender. The report also indicates Higer Bus and Coach is a Western Australia-based company, but the company’s marketing spokesperson confirmed Higer Bus and Coach is based in China. The spokesperson confirmed, if Higer Bus and Coach are successful in the tender, the electric buses will be built in China and imported by another company. Noosa Council was contacted for further comment, but did not reply before deadline. Once the successful tender applicant is approved, the electric bus trial will include the use of electric buses on Sunbus route 627 instead of the current diesel buses. The cost of the trial will be shared by Noosa Council and Translink, but is expected to cost ratepayers $550,000. What do you think? Do you want to see electric buses on Noosa roads?

Fitness funds for chemotherapy to help a mum THE generosity and support of the community was in full force over the weekend as over $1000 was raised for Tewantin mum-of-three Roz Harper, who is battling a rare form of brain cancer. Peak Personal Fitness owner Rob McPherson took the opportunity to raise muchneeded funds for Roz’s second round of chemotherapy while launching his new group fitness program, Noosa HIIT Squad, on Saturday (7 May). Participants could take part in one of six 30-minute group exercise classes for a gold coin donation, with all donations collected on the day matched dollar for dollar by Peak Personal Fitness. To help boost fund-raising, a sausage sizzle, cupcake stall, fresh produce stall, face and henna painting, and a mobile coffee van also raised additional funds for the Roz Harper Brain Cancer Fund. Rob said he was “blown away” by the generosity of locals and said the group raised $1077 for Roz and her family. “It is important to me that
I use my business to give back to our community where possible,” Rob said. “I am grateful that we have been able to help out Roz and her family during this difficult and challenging time.” Roz was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer in 2009, and surgery has been unable to remove the entire tumour which continues to grow. Roz and her family are now carrying the burden of a second round of intensive chemotherapy to battle the cancer. Rob said he wanted to thank everyone who helped with the event, especially Don Bensted from the TewantinNoosa Cricket Club and to businesses that made donations including Woolworths Noosaville, Noosaville Bakery and Cafe, On the Go Espresso, Dan Murphy’s Noosaville and the Noosa Christian Outreach Church Food Outlet. If you would like to support Roz and her family, you can donate to the Roz Harper Brain Cancer Fund at www. gofundme.com/bqxbte84.
Peak Personal Fitness helped raise over $1000 for local mum Roz Harper and her fight against cancer.

Menu surfed with Noosa setting NOOSA shines as the lead role in a reinvigorated TV Show set to air this month. Former MasterChef contestants Dan Churchill and Hayden Quinn will lead a new version of Surfing the Menu, the 2003 cooking and travel series that was instrumental in launching the TV careers of chefs Ben O’Donohue and Curtis Stone. Surfing the Menu is one of ABC’s most successful cooking formats, having been sold in over 70 countries. Now it is
being reworked by Noma Films with MasterChef pals Dan Churchill and Hayden Quinn, retitled as Surfing the Menu: The Next Generation. Dan and Hayden share a love of cooking, surfing, fresh food, travel and adventure and that’s exactly what the new series Surfing the Menu: The Next Generation is all about. In this series, Dan and Hayden head off on an adventure around Australia in their trusty, rusty 50-year-old VW
Bug, nicknamed GiGi. On the journey, they headed to pristine Noosa where the boys surfed at Noosa Main Beach, kitesurfed at Castaways Beach and cooked up a storm with delicious local produce. The boys turn these fresh ingredients into simple, healthy and delightfully delicious recipes that will inspire you. Catch Noosa as the show debuts on ABC1 on Sunday 22 May at 6pm.

Noosa assists Cape Town students A LOCAL organisation has helped the plight of children in South Africa after a recent fundraising luncheon. Slow Food Noosa held a lunch on Wednesday 11 May at Noosa Boathouse for the Tinmugs Africa Trust. The fund-raising effort raised an amazing $5000 with goods and services donated by local businesses who offered half the ticket
price of guests. Former local and founder of Tinmugs Africa Trust Bud Higgins spoke to an audience of 84 people at the lunch about the devastating conditions in the slums of Cape Town where she provides a hot meal to poor kids who arrive at school with nothing to eat. Bud’s visit to Noosa encouraged locals to fund education for an additional 10 children.
Once selected, the student will be placed in a school with a uniform and necessary books provided. Updated photos and educational reports and news will be sent regularly to the benefactors. President of Slow Food Noosa Erika Hackett was delighted to hand over a cheque for $5000 to Bud for the Tinmugs Africa Trust so that she may be able to continue her work in Cape Town.

Prized bus shelter design NOOSA is now home to award-winning bus shelters after Majstorovic Architecture’s design of the structures won a host of awards at the 2016 Sunshine Coast Regional Architecture Awards. The bus shelter design won the Regional Project of the Year Award, along with a Regional Commendation Award in the awards ceremony, run by the Australian Institute of Architects, and will now progress to the Queensland Architecture Awards in June. Noosa Council planning and infrastructure director Martin Drydale said the award was a fitting end to a successful partnership with local businesses. “Majstorovic Architecture and fellow project partners Tod Consulting Engineers and fabricators Noosa Engineering and Crane Hire took our brief and ran with it to deliver an award-winning locally made bus shelter that is unique to Noosa,� he said. Councillors last year called for an original design that gave the shire’s bus stops, which are highly visible public infrastructure, a distinct Noosa flavour. “The brief was for a lowmaintenance, hard-wearing structure that complements Noosa’s environment and complies with new disability access standards but costs no more to produce, install and maintain than an off-the-shelf product,� Mr Drydale said. “In fact, the new shelters
THIS WEEKEND The award-winning bus shelter. have been designed to reduce ongoing maintenance costs.� Council is replacing the previous bus shelter styles, designed in the 1980s, as they are due for renewal. “We secured state funding to upgrade the old shelters to new Disability Discrimination Act-standards, which improves safety and access for older people and passengers with a disability,� Mr Drydale said. “This funding, plus savings achieved by working with local businesses, and the fact we have a unique Noosa design, represents a great outcome.� Judges praised Majstorovic Architecture for meeting council’s complex list of objectives with the timber and aluminium design. “The new shelters are
pre-fabricated off site and can be installed in as little as two hours. We can also adapt the design to meet site constraints,� Mr Drydale said. Noosa Engineering and Crane Hire managing director Ryza Garbacz said the local company was pleased to partner with local government and other businesses to achieve a result that is truly local. “It has lifted morale within the team at Noosa Engineering and Crane Hire and the entire team is very proud to see all their hard work neatly constructed and on show right throughout the shire. The shelters have been a real community relationship enhancing project from that aspect as well as delivering a world class product on a local level,� he said. Council has so far installed 27 new shelters.
Preps chime in with science PREP students at Sunshine Beach State School have been getting into technology in a musical way. The students have been learning about the properties of materials and have been identifying which items move in the wind, make a sound and are waterproof as well as assessing the strength of each item. The usual suspects like plastic, wood, metal and glass were investigated in order to assess their properties, but some creative minds also collected keys, shells, CDs, coast hangers, old earrings and a microwave tray to investigate. The project culminated in each Prep student designing a unique wind chime that was waterproof, moved in the wind, made a sound and was strong enough to stay hanging. Parents came in and joined in the fun, helping their child construct their chime according to their design. Louise, a parent of a Prep student, said she had really liked coming in and “being a part of my child’s learning�, commenting “I’ve noticed that the kids really love it when their parents are in the classroom helping out�. Prep student Flynn agrees. “I like it noosatoday.com.au

Community of many colours THE Noosa community celebrated International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT) with a colourful picnic and the raising of a rainbow flag. IDAHOT is a global day aimed at drawing people’s attention to the discrimination faced by same sex attracted, intersex, and gender diverse people and celebrates sexual and gender diversity. Councillor Ingrid Jackson took to Facebook to show her support of the day posting a photo of herself
with fellow councillor Frank Wilkie. “Today, on Tuesday 17 May, Noosa Council is flying a rainbow flag in support of IDAHOT. “Councillors agreed that Noosa is a place where everyone, regardless of ethnic and cultural differences, age, gender, ability or sexuality can feel included and valued,” Cr Jackson said. “Noosa joins Brisbane City Council and places around the world in embracing diversity in this way.” Noosa District State High School student and facilitator of the first LGBTIQ support group for students Samuel Beuzanquet gave a moving speech at the IDAHOT picnic.

Muscle to the metal Many in Black hit the stage last year.
Hidden talent comes out to shine Muscle cars burnt rubber in South Australia last year. THE Sunshine Coast will soon play host to some of Australia’s wellknown Bathurst racing greats as they hit the track for a good cause. Although many would relish the opportunity to see the likes of Peter Brock, Allan Moffat and John Goss return to the road, it is the famous cars they drove during the glory days of Bathurst in the ’60s and ’70s, that will return. The Leukaemia Foundation’s Aussie Muscle Car Run will see legendary muscle cars such as the Monaro, Falcon GT, Torana and Mustang take participants on a 2125km sweep of Queensland. Held from 31 July to 6 August, the event will pass through Tewantin on
Friday 5 August. The Leukaemia Foundation’s director of community fundraising Cassandra Creed said it is the first time the event will take place in Queensland after several events in other states. “We invite car clubs and owners from the Sunshine Coast and surrounds to sign up for this iconic motoring event that celebrates an era of the most outstanding vehicle competition in the world,� she said. “With places limited, it is an event that cannot be missed by any Aussie muscle car enthusiast that yearns for the glory days of Bathurst.� The unique fundraising event gives owners of Aussie muscle cars made between 1963 and 1977, including
replicas, to showcase their legendary vehicles with the community. Registration includes accommodation, daily breakfast and dinner, motor sport events, car livery, overnight security for the vehicles, support mechanics, entertainment and more. The money raised from the event will help fund life-saving blood cancer research and provide support for families affected by blood cancer. The Leukaemia Foundation receives no direct government support and relies on the generosity of the community to help patients beat their blood cancer. Find out more about the Aussie Muscle Car Run or to register visit www.aussiemusclecarrun.com.
ENDEAVOUR Foundation’s Wallace Park Learning and Lifestyle is set to showcase local musicians with an intellectual disability in the annual Battle of the Bands event. Endeavour Foundation Wallace Park Learning and Lifestyle Support and Operations Manager Julie Elford said the annual competition would be hosted by the service and held at ‘The J’ at 60 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads, on Wednesday 25 May. “This is a competition open to any bands that have a majority of the members with an intellectual disability,� Ms Elford said. “This is the third year we have hosted the event and after our two previous years’ successes we can’t wait to see more local hidden talent show off their musical flair.� Ms Elford said the Battle of
the Bands is a celebration of everyone’s abilities and talents and is a way to develop musical ability and provide people with an environment to be creative and one in which people feel comfortable to share their gifts with like-minded people. Rick Fairley, who accesses services from the Wallace Park Centre and competed in the last two years’ events, said: “I am looking forward to participating again this year. “I’ve been practicing a lot and can’t wait to get up on stage and sing again.� All bands will receive a critique and appraisal from judges at the end of the event. The critique will be celebrating technical ability, musicianship, song-writing, stagecraft and audience engagement.

Fund-raiser's a fun day Finding Dory
25 women participated in the two-week fashion course.
Picture: CONTRIBUTED
Bondi-Bali in fashion trade INTERNATIONAL fashionistas gathered in Noosa on Tuesday 10 May to swap tips and tricks of the trade. The Sheraton Noosa in collaboration with Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and The Australia Federal Government hosted the Australian Awards which are part of a short course delivered by QUT. The short course is funded by the Federal Government and consists of 25 women from Indonesia who are currently studying International Fashion Business. QUT School of Fashion lecturer Carla van Lunn said the short course was designed
to build cultural and businessto-business links in fashion and textiles between Australia and Indonesia. “The two-week course aims to spearhead a ‘Bondi Bali’ connection as Australia and Indonesia both enjoy warm weather, plenty of coastline and creativity to tap into the global resort fashion market,” she said. “Indonesia’s rich textile tradition and industry has enormous international market potential.” Maxine McMaster, director of local Hastings Street store Toscani, was invited as the guest speaker because of her extensive experience and
ties to Indonesia. Maxine is invited by the British Fashion Council each year to attend Jakarta Fashion Week. There, she selects five fashion designers who show talent, passion and originality to travel to London and participate in a three-week intensive mentoring course with the Centre of Fashion Enterprise. Having been in business in Hastings Street for over 25 years, QUT approached Maxine to discuss the high-end coastal fashion market and boutique retail environment in Noosa and throughout Australia.
IF YOU'RE looking for a fun day out with the kids to support a great cause, Noosa Event Cinemas will be hosting a fundraising function, Elki’s Movie Day on Sunday 19 June. The fun starts at 9am with some fun activities and lots of children’s entertainment before the 10am screening of the long-awaited movie, Finding Dory. This fun-filled movie day is being held to help raise support funds for Elki and her family. Elki was diagnosed with Leukaemia on New Year’s Day. Her dad consistently needs time off work as Elki often ends ups in hospital for days at a time and bills are starting to stack up. Weekly trips to Brisbane for treatment have also been tough on their 20-year-old car which has become unreliable, so they are in desperate need of a new vehicle. The funds raised will help support this family and their brave little girl through a tough time. All tickets are just $15 per person, and you can purchase tickets via Katie or Julie at the Tewantin Noosa RSL on 5440 7718 or 5440 7705. You can follow Elki’s journal on Facebook : https://www.facebook. com/elkisjournal.
Join Elki and watch the highly anticipated Finding Dory and help raise much-needed funds.

Pop-ups to have your say all over
USC's koala tracking dog will be at council's Draft Koala Conservation Plan Library Pop-up and Baxter/Maya will be keen to be invited to residents' properties to sniff out koalas.
NOOSA Council is now making it even easier to have your say with a trial of information pop-ups at local libraries and the mobile library. Council will be trialling the information pop-ups to give residents another way to comment on major council projects. Residents already have their say via the online Your Say Noosa website, via email and through mail, but council hopes the information pop-ups will be a useful way to reach residents who aren’t online or just prefer to have a chat. Noosa Council community engagement manager Debra Bambrook said the pop-ups would provide information, and when they are manned, residents will be able to ask questions that can be answered by council officers and councillors. Pop-ups for council’s Draft Koala Conservation Plan, which is already open, and the Draft Noosa Transport
Plan pop-ups, which opens on 25 May, are expected to be busy. Council’s principal environment officer Peter Milne said there would be a special appearance at the pop-ups. “One of the University of the Sunshine Coast’s koala tracking dogs will make special guest appearances at all the Noosaville and Cooroy library popups,” he said. Through the pop-ups, residents can view draft plans, talk to council officers and councillors and provide input in a variety of ways, including filling out a feedback form; using a library computer to comment via council’s Your Say Noosa website; typing directly into Your Say Noosa using their own tablet or mobile phone; and talking to a council officer when the pop-up is manned. The Draft Koala Conservation Plan pop-ups are open at all libraries from now until 10 June with council offi-
cers, koala tracking dog and councillors (when available) on hand at Noosaville Library on Tuesday 24 May from 10 am - noon and Cooroy Library on Thursday 19 May from 10am - noon and Thursday 2 June from 2pm - 4pm. The Draft Noosa Transport Plan pop-ups are open at all libraries from 25 May. Council officers and councillors (when available) will be at the pop-ups on Tuesday 31 May at Cooroy Library, on Wednesday 1 June at Noosaville Library between 10am and noon and at the Noosa Leisure Centre on Saturday 4 June between 8am and noon. All council projects that are open for comment and input can be found at Council’s Your Say Noosa website, www.yoursay.noosa.qld.gov.au For more information, contact the community engagement team at council on 5329 6500 or visit yoursay.noosa. qld.gov.au.

Jan Croft.
Jan’s a master of the pool Ron Lane's
people FOR Jan Croft - iconic figure in the sporting fraternity of Noosa - her involvement and indeed her love of water sports started at the ripe old age of seven years. When most little ladies of that age are chasing kittens and other cuddly animals, little miss Jan Paine (her then family name) was following that black line that lies on the bottom of every training pool - the line that all swimmers must follow come rain or shine. And most important of all she loved it ... even two sessions a day training for her local team the Ayr Swimming club. However for Jan it was all worthwhile. At 15 years of age when eligible to enter her first open state titles, she made everyone sit up and take notice by winning the 200, 400,and 800 metre freestyle events. Jan was born and educated in the North Queensland town of Ayr. She left school at 16 and worked locally for 12 months before shifting to Townsville, where she continued her swimming career by joining the Tobruk Swimming Club, which was based at the Tobruk Memorial Pool. “When I lived in Townsville I started working for the Townsville Bulletin. My day started at 5.30am with a training session at the pool.
This usually consisted of a three to three-and-a-half mile training swim. After these sessions I would sometimes start to doze off about mid-morning while sitting at my typewriter. One old jurno who knew what was going on would walk past and quickly give me a gentle dig in the ribs,” she said with a laugh. “Then it was back to the typing; and at day's end back to the pool for another session. It was a hard grind but I loved it.” Following this Jan moved to Brisbane where she trained under the legendary Arthur Cusack at the newly constructed Centenary Pool on Gregory Terrace. Then in 1961 she competed in her first National Titles and at 18 won the 800-metre freestyle. “I stayed with Arthur for 18 months, swam again at the Nationals in Melbourne in '62 and again won the 800m. At that time the Commonwealth Games were coming up and because they had no 800m freestyle for women I tried out for the 400m freestyle and finished third. Unfortunately for me they were only taking the first two so I missed out on the team.” “After this I met up with coach Don Talbot. I trained with him for a short time but by the end of '62 I had enough and decided to retire. On looking back at the coaches, Cusack was very successful and among his team was the famous David Thiler.
16 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 19 May, 2016
Talbot was also one of the best but he was an extremely tough. He had previously made a name for himself as coach of the very famous Konrad Kids, Jon and Ilsie." On her retirement, Jan in April 1963 shifted to Cairns. While there she met up with a Qantas pilot, a gentleman named Croft who was to become her husband. Immediately following their marriage they travelled to London where her husband took up a posting with Qantas. This resulted in them living in England from '65 until '66. After this they returned home to Sydney where they were to live for the next 12 years. During this time they became the proud parents of three healthy boys Nick, Adam and Luke. In the years ahead, when the boys entered their teens, Nick was to become a world renowned tri-athlete competing in the European circuit and on one occasion he was named the Australian Tri-Athlete of the year. However while on the European circuit he contracted an illness that was to end his career. When he regained his health he started a coaching career which he has successfully performed in Noosa since 1996. In 1977 while living in Brisbane Jan, with swimming still in her blood, ran a successful learn to swim school at Thornside. This she did till 1995. Unfortunately the marriage fold-
ed and they parted the same year. Determined to start a new life, Jan with her sons headed for Noosa. “I had been competing in the triathlons and had come to like the lifestyle and had also made some wonderful friends; so it was for me the thing to do.” Despite her retirement from swimming Jan still had the urge for the tough grind of competition and as a result she started to contest the Iron Man event. This event consisted of a 3.8km swim a 180km bike and a 42.6km run and for her it had everything. So much so that in 1992 competing in the masters, at age 49, she won her division of the Australian Iron Man Championship. It was, she said, “one very long day”. Six months later she flew to Hawaii where this time she finished seventh in the local Iron Man event. Then six years later in 1998 competing in the 55 year age group, this remarkable lady won the Fosters Australian Iron Man for her division. To cap off the year in October she again returned to Hawaii this time completing the course in fifth place - a placing which saw her take her place of honor on the podium. In 2006 Jan competed in her last triathlon at Mooloolaba. “Things had started to catch up and as a result I underwent knee replacement in 2008. For me the running was finished, the triathlons were over.”
Having started working at the Nack some 12 years prior, Jan then became fully involved with coaching and swimming with the masters. During her career Jan has contested and watched the Noosa Tri on 17 occasions and as a result has strong opinions regarding last year's event. “The ocean swim was incredible it was beamed via the TV all over the world - something for everyone to be proud of,” she said. Now for Jan her day with the masters starts at 7.30am and goes through to 9.30. “At first we had the over-50s; now we have 30/40 age groups with definite needs. We work with squads of about 30, but sometimes it reaches 40. This is often due to the interstate tourists who come along to join in the sessions. It creates a good feeling; and most important it makes our visitors feel welcome here in Noosa.” Despite a career that started at seven, Jan's love of the sporting life is still as strong and driven as ever. To watch this lady as she goes about her duties with the masters competitors and observe the warmth with which she is received, it becomes obvious that her coaching and contribution at all levels has indeed earned the everlasting respect and gratitude of all. With no signs of slowing down her contribution, this extraordinary athlete is without a doubt among the sporting elite of Our People. noosatoday.com.au

Grass is greener HAVING read that Robin Bristow from South Africa isn’t happy with the way things are in Noosa I am very temped to suggest that he returns to the wonderful place he left. This is the second person from there that I have spoken to, the first was complaining about the number of rules of the road we had to adhere to here. Speaking for myself, newly from the UK, I would like to say that this place is the most perfect place I have ever lived in by a long margin and when other incomers want to change it I start to become concerned. The UK used to be great till that changed, Spain also, so I desperately ask all new incomers to have some respect for the wonderful people who set this place up and all the hard work that has taken place by them. Howard Peters, Noosa.

Getting an education IT WOULDN’T be an issue of Noosa Today without a letter from K.L. Fielden and on this occasion (Dynamic duo, Noosa Today, Thursday 12 May). I thought it worthwhile to respond to her comments regarding Noosa TAFE and her proud boast that the Federal ALP candidate “has been working on doing something with those empty premises for ages”. K.L. Fielden then claims that “she (the ALP candidate) has had numerous meetings with the ministers for health and education, both federal and state and is getting close to a solution”. Can I suggest that a) the empty buildings where the TAFE college once was is a state issue not federal and b) that the appropriate minister to be talking to is the Queensland Attorney General who I am working with, and not the health or education ministers. Glen Elmes MP, Member for Noosa.
Clear-cut case STATE parliament is currently considering a motion to repeal the 2013 Newman government’s shocking vegetation clearing laws. They saw more than 700 000 hectares of Queensland’s native forest and regrowth bulldozed with chains, piled up and quickly burnt. In 2014 alone an area equivalent to 300,000 Suncorp stadiums, including 40,000 hectares of koala habitat, were destroyed in the LNP sanctioned carnage. Thirty-six million tons of carbon released into the atmosphere and immeasurable quantities of sediment poured into Great Barrier Reef waters. Interestingly one of the only reasons the UN didn’t classify the GBR as in danger last year was because Queensland committed to a reversal of Newman’s shameful vegetation clearing policy. The reefs downgrading now looks inevitable. The science is in. Land clearing reduces biodiversity, affects water quality, increases carbon emissions and worsens flooding. Yet the LNP is now stubbornly refusing to vote with the government to fix this obvious policy blunder. Costs of flooding, destruction of the reef and loss of biodiversity far outweigh the interests of agricultural corporations exploiting the last pockets of scrub for short term grazing profits. Perhaps our local MP Mr Elmes can explain to the Noosa community why in 2013 the LNP back-flipped on its pre-election commitment to retain the vegetation protection laws? I note in 2014, Mr Elmes was proudly handing out $100,000 environmental grants while his party was supervising catastrophic land clearing in GBR catchments. How can Noosa’s representative in State Government continue to support an LNP policy with such disastrous environmental consequences? Aaron White, Kin Kin.
Clear this up AFTER reading your report of the Sunshine Hospice Board, I would like to ask if this new private hospital will be for terminally ill patients for which Katie Rose Hospice was created. noosatoday.com.au
NOOSA Main Beach never fails to astound visitors and locals. If you have a photo of Noosa’s landscape or wildlife you would like to share, email it to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au.
Has this board gone too far too soon? Katie Rose was started by two lovely ladies who saw that there was such a need for this care in this area. The hospice should be operating now, even if it remained small. Will the hard work of the shop and general volunteers, plus the generous public donations, be enough to cover the few who cannot afford to pay. Can the board confirm that this private hospital will be run similar to the one in Brisbane, St. Vincents, which is care for the terminally ill. Lastly, where exactly is the proposed hospital going to be built and at what cost. The public really needs some clearer answers please. Mary Johnston, Sunshine Beach.
Repeat performances IT USED to be, and still is, John Lobb and Jeff Nuske harping on about the same subject endlessly in our local papers. Then Margaret Wilkie got in on the act and started to contribute her cryptic philosophy on an almost weekly basis. And for at least the past 12 months we have had K.L Fielden continually telling us she is fed up with the bats is Wallace Park. Do these people actually believe they are going to change the minds of the majority who completely disagree with them by barraging us with letters? Why do our local papers keep publishing what is essentially the same letters from the same people week after week? Woody Dass, Noosa.
No brainer WHEN will governments just do something out of the goodness of their hearts and not rob Peter to pay Paul? I refer to “Turnbull pledges $54m to monitor diabetes in young”. Brilliant move and none more deserved. But, he’s taken $54 billion out of the health budget which he could have left it alone to do the job anyway. Now that’s a maths problem only a government can solve. Then in the good old UK (no wonder we got out) a poor man with only half an head due to a massive stroke, is told he is fit for work and his support allowance has been cut. You can see what’s happened there. The government has used its logic and said: “If we can run the country with half a brain surely he can cope.” Now, none of those instances are funny, just downright pathetic. E. Wright, Sunrise Beach.
Body of evidence MR BYRNES insinuates, without proof, that the public need to be protected from legal nude beaches. Protected from what? Signs advising “nudity allowed” would give people an informed choice. Statistics show that nude beaches in other states (legal for 40 years) have less crime than surrounding areas. Glen Elmes is concerned about the cost of toilets, life savers, emergency services and police. These are all things we should have already. Nudists are no less entitled to these facilities than any other person. Why are nudists (particularly males) being discriminated against by police booking them for innocently skinny dipping? Without fear of prosecution for their lifestyle nudists could help police. They already contribute positively to helping life savers and looking after the environment. The QLD Government, local council, emergency services, national parks and police should be working with nudists. This is what happens in other states where legal nude beaches are often within national parks. Anita Grigg, Noosa.
Body of opinion EARLIER this year at the pre-election town hall gathering, when asked whether they supported a legal nude beach in Noosa, almost all the existing Noosa councillors and candidate councillors raised their hands. Mayor Tony Wellington is on record for supporting a legal nude beach in Noosa. Even the Noosa Chamber of Commerce has written a letter to the State Government requesting the legalisation of nude beaches in Queensland and Noosa. Noosa has decided that it wants a legal nude beach to attract more tourists and to grow the economy. And here we have Glen Elmes once again going against the wishes of the people of Noosa and directly campaigning against our efforts to grow our local economy. Glen Elmes - stop wrecking our economy. You are out of touch and out of ideas. It is time for you to resign and let an innovative and progressive person have a chance to finally do something for this great town. It would be interesting to get Noosa Council and Noosa Chamber of Commerce to respond to Glen’s attempt to sabotage our economy. Robin Bristow, Noosa.
In bat for bats REGARDING many recent letters concerning bats and koalas, I feel I must respond.
Due to past and present councils allowing developers to destroy bushland on the SSC these animals now have little suitable habitat left, Koalas especially are at serious risk of extinction, an appalling, unthinkable situation. This along with dog and cat predation is the cause of many problems wildlife currently have. These animals have lived here for thousands of years, and now we are impinging on their natural habitat for a few quick developer dollars. The situation needs to be urgently reversed before koalas are extinct. Councils and state governments must enforce dog and cat exemption caveats on future land developments. Dogs are a serious problem for our wildlife and I have seen many arrogant owners ignore no dog signs and enter reserves and national parks. While I sympathize with residents affected by bats, they should be blaming developers and council not the bats. Where are bats supposed to live? They cannot be blamed for moving into suburban areas where there’s food and relative shelter as they have little other suitable habitat left. A huge public education program is required along with the necessary law changes and enforcement. Mark Jones, Verrierdale.
Bat bother IN REPLY to Maree-Louse’s letter, it seems that you and others do not understand that we are not calling for a mass cull of bats, merely to relocate them to a more suitable location for them and us, as other councils have done very recently, to give us our lives back from a situation that was not here when we came. I can clearly understand that your overseas friends would be very interested to see the bats, however, they do not live here, and as I keep saying, seeing them is a completely different thing to living with them and dealing with the noise, smell and mess on a daily basis. Also, people do not realise that these bats are ruining the trees so that the habitat for the wonderful birds that were here is being eroded. These bats increase in number every year and at times there have been over half a million at Wallace Park. Obviously they are not declining and it would appear that there are more than enough for the amount of pollination required. Perhaps I should contact David Attenborough and see what he would suggest for this situation! Finally, fear not, Noosa Council has absolutely no intention of doing anything - bats are more important than people. Norah Lilley, Tewantin. Thursday, 19 May, 2016 | NOOSA TODAY 17

Final chapter for this year AFTER record crowds and bumper sales the annual Bookfest Noosa is over for another year. Residents and visitors flocked to the annual book bonanza to stock up their libraries and support a good cause.

Indulge in a buffet of bite-sized theatre pieces with the Shorts on Stage performances at the Noosa Arts Theatre from 28 May.
live today NOOSA’S LIFESTYLE GUIDE
Short and sharp theatrics SHORTS on Stage does not relate to dress codes in acting circles, but rather to an exciting new initiative being launched by Noosa Arts Theatre on 28 and 29 May. A first for Noosa Arts Theatre, Shorts on Stage emerges from a popular subgenre of the One Act Plays popularised by the “Short and Sweet” Festival, a global festival that began as a festival of 10-minute plays in Sydney. With only three performances Shorts on Stage brings together a melting pot of 30 emerging and recreational actors and nine directors
from six theatre companies across the Sunshine Coast. Production director Jane Rivers said Shorts of Stage forces playwrites to get the story moving quickly and keep the dramatic action tight. “Audiences can expect to enjoy a broad spectrum of theatre in one sitting, including comedy, drama and ensemble. If one play is less interesting to you, relax for 10 minutes as the next play is never far away,” she said. Audiences will be entertained with some familiar faces such as Sue Clapham, Sue Sewell, Jenni McCaul
and Jane Rivers, along with Noosa Arts’ own Julia Verbught in Mirand’s Dressing Rooms’ production of Alex Broun’s award winning 10,000 Cigarettes, a sweet and sour tale of the complexities of tobacco addiction. Julia, Jenni and Jane also shine later in the program in a Noosa Arts Theatre production The Role of Della, a riveting and riotous sneak peek at the contemporary audition room. Little Seed Theatre Company will present three plays, Secret Origin of Mojo Man, the captivating The History of Why the Chicken Crossed the Road and not to be outdone by

Uplifting Mentals and good noise MENTAL As Anything is one of Australia’s most recognisable bands. Their career has spanned over 30 years with numerous chart toppers around the world. Mental As Anything are responsible for sensational hits such as Live It Up, The Nips Are Getting Bigger, Too Many Times and so, so many more. They are performers in the truest sense of the word, delighting audiences just as much now as when they first began performing. Mental As Anything are about as humble as you can get too, never forgetting that they began their career performing in pubs, clubs, and bars.
The old urban legend tells of a group of teenagers who passed themselves off as a band in order to get free beer in exchange for playing and have been performing ever since. That’s why they still continue to tour small venues ... the memories, not the beer, we hope! The Tewantin Noosa RSL finally has the joy of hosting Mental as Anything. Though their incredible repertoire continues to expand, their new single “Shake Off Your Sandals” was released in December 2015, and they still charm the crowds with all the old favourites. You’ll be transported back
Mental As Anything heads to Noosa.
to the '70s when you first heard these amazing songs that quickly became the background anthems of so many childhoods. You can catch Mental As Anything at the Tewantin Noosa RSL on Saturday 4 June in the Diggers Bar. They will be supported by One Voice and tickets are just $30 for members and $35 for non-members. You can grab your tickets at reception or dial’n’charge on 5447 1766, however you’ll need to be quick as this event will sell out. Mental As Anything is set to deliver a night you’re sure not to forget.
Tribute to pop superstar Prince STARRY Nights Eumundi Drive-in presents a special screening on Friday 27 May in commemoration of the “dearly beloved” music and pop culture icon Prince. The Prince Tribute Night will feature Prince music videos followed by a screening of cult movie Purple Rain (Rated M). Trent Harvison from Starry Nights says the screening will be a one-off on the Sunshine Coast. “There is no one like Prince - an absolute musical superstar”, Trent said. “This one night only screening will be a chance for diehard fans and the many of us who grew up listening to his music to celebrate the musician, the actor, and the legend that was Prince.” Head to the Eumundi Showgrounds, Black Stump Road, Eumundi, on Friday 27 May from 5pm. Tickets $20 per car pre-sale or $25 at the gate, or $10 per person for walk-ins. To guarantee a spot on the night, prebook tickets at www.ticketebo.com.au/ starrynights.

Coffee Culture
An early coffee can add that much-needed get-up-and-go.
Take the time for coffee catching up on the latest news at a local café. But the good news is coffee doesn’t just taste great, it can also be good for you. Whether strong or sweet, experts say a morning caffeine hit is loaded with antioxidants and beneficial nutrients that can improve health.
A single cup of coffee can contain vitamin B2 and B5, magnesium, niacin, potassium and manganese. Also coffee also gives that added energy boost to kick the morning off to a good start. Experts say caffeine is to thank for added energy, improved mood and faster brain function.
But in Noosa, grabbing a coffee is also about taking time out to sit back and enjoy the beautiful region and to catch up with friends. Why not find a shady spot on the Noosa River foreshore or pull up a chair at a local cafe and take the time to stop and smell the coffee.

Winter beauty fixes available Herbalist Long before we were able to visit the nearest walk-in clinic, our ancestors were using ancient plant remedies for almost every ailment. This “herbalism,” is now a form of alternative medicine that includes everything from plants, bee products and minerals to certain types of fungus. This practice has remained popular for over 60,000 years, evolving into the alternative medicine practice it is today. Herbal treatments can be used for ailments such as chronic and acute illnesses, asthma, common colds, pain and more. In fact, the World Health Organization estimates that in some of these areas, 80% of the population considers it their primary form of health care. Today, herbalism usually involves taking Liquid Extracts, Capsules, Tablets or Teas/ juices infused with the herbs. In addition to consumption, some herbal benefits may be found with topical applications or even aromatherapy. As Australian grown herbs are considered to be high quality due to our highly regulated standards, Freda’s locally grown Certified Organic Herbs are a customer’s favourite. Each blend of Freda’s liquid or encapsulated herbals contains 100% herbs of Certified Organic Australian Herbs – so no fillers are used. This results in some of the highest quality herbs and vitamins that one can find. Freda Dunn is an accredited member of the Australian Natural Therapies Association (ANTA) and is a highly qualified herbalist and Herbal Medicine practitioner. Set amongst blissful tropical gardens, Freda’s private destination natural therapies clinic is set on beautiful acreage just minutes away from Noosa.

IN WINTER, heating, air-conditioning and cold winds all play havoc with skin, hair and make-up. Here’s how to counteract the beauty problems that arise when the temperature drops. Dark circles under eyes The delicate skin under your eyes can be easily irritated in winter, especially if you’re tired and stressed. Nasal congestion due to cold or flu can also dilate and darken veins that run from your eyes to nose. To disguise dark circles, use a light-diffusing cream concealer. Apply and blend with your little finger, then lightly dust over a sheer, peachy loose powder to balance the blue tone of the dark circles. Breakouts Even though breakouts are caused by excess oil production, don’t go on an oil-reducing mission in winter. If you dry the skin out too much, more oil will be produced. Because your skin loses about 25 per cent of its ability to hold moisture in the winter months, the cleanser that kept you shine-free in summer is likely to dry out your skin now, so try switching to a more nourishing cream cleanser. Also regularly exfoliate so oil can get out and spots can start to heal. Split ends You can’t fix split ends, but you can temporarily mask them. Nourishing hair with treatments and using a leave-in conditioner can calm split ends and prevent future splitting. To maintain healthy ends, have your hair trimmed every six weeks and use specialised protective products to protect it from heated appliances, the sun and when colouring. Washed-out make-up In winter, pale skin can look pasty; olive
skin can take on a dull, greenish tone; and dark skin tends to look ashen. A blend of blush and bronzer on the apples of your cheeks, and a wash of foundation a tad darker than your natural skin tone, will give you a healthy winter glow. Just remember to apply your foundation evenly - and don’t forget your neck! Brittle nails Again, dry and cold winter air - and washing hands more often in hot water - can take their toll on your nails. Once a week, rub cuticle oil into and around nails to keep them hydrated. Also get into the habit of rubbing moisturiser into your cuticles and nails after you wash your hands. Keep a tube of moisturiser next to the kitchen or bathroom sink as a reminder.

GOOD Shepherd Lutheran College students got back to their roots as they celebrated diversity at their Culture Festival. The festival was held on Monday 16 May and prep to year five students were asked to dress up in the traditional dress of their cultural heritage or any culture they were interested in or had experienced in any way. Students flocked to school in outfits from across the world including Hawaii, Mexico, England and even Australia. Students took part in a colourful cultural parade and brought a plate of food to share with their friends.

Touch footy sizzles
By RON LANE
NOOSA TOUCH FOOTBALL ON what turned out to be a chilly evening, we were lucky to have sizzling touch action to entertain us. Ice Angels put up a mighty fight against Tornadoes in the first Under 10 match of the afternoon before the Tornadoes took the win. Sophie, Alla and Jasmine all played well. Running Rebels accounted for an undermanned GSLC team with Joshua, William and Ben having mighty games. In a close result, the Lava Boys just managed to hold out the Fireballs Girls with Grace, Jaxx and Lilly all leading their teams around the paddock. End to end attacking was on display from both Foxy Rebels and Angels with Attitude in the Under 12 division. The Angels took the points but Foxy Rebels are getting closer each time these two teams meet. Parker, Georgia and Eileen all produced first rate performances. GSLC (boys) were in front of the GSLC (girls) before the game diverged into an entertaining mixed game, a great learning avenue for the years to come. Kian, Jasmin and Levi played strongly. Even a strong defensive effort from the SBSS (girls) was no match against the
TO SAY that it was a remarkable achievement is being modest. Last week our local amateur club the Impact Boxing Academy of Cooroy sent eight members to compete in the Australian Youth Amateur Championships held on the Gold Coast. The eight members - five boys and three girls - were in fact members of the Queensland team and when the final bell of the evening was rung our local eight had won an incredible five gold medals and three silver. Those to win gold in their divisions were Bailey Seabourne 60kg, Misty Halley 64kg, Taylah Robertson 57kg, Cloe Haley 52kg and Coen Allman 36 kg; and silver, Sam Cameron-Hands 56kg, Ben Cameron-Hands 52kg and Cameron Little 44kg. In an ironic twist of fate, Abbey Slavan in the 57kg division representing Israel Kani Noosa Box Office club, fought Cooroys Taylah Robertson of the Impact Boxing Academy in their final, with Taylah winning on points. “These two girls are good friends and have sparred together,” said Israel. “It was just bad luck the way it turned out; but that’s the luck of the draw in boxing.” This would definitely rate as one of the best club achievements in the state for many years. To cap off the evening, the overall result for Queensland, with 47 representatives, was a remarkable 20 gold, 11 silver and 6 bronze medals. President of Boxing Queensland, Mark Evans who, on this occasion, was also the state coach and manager, when summing up the entire championship said, "It has been rated by our governing body Boxing

Impact Boxing Academy of Cooroy: Mark Evans with , Sam Cameron-Hands, Chloe Halley, Taylah Robertson, Misty Halley, Cameron Little, Ben Cameron-Hands and Coen Allman. Picture: CONTRIBUTED Australia, as the most successful tournament in many years. The atmosphere was unbelievable. There was a big crowd and this would have been because it was the Youth Titles. There were many large family groups in attendance and the involvement of the state teams as cheer squads - well you had to hear it to believe it.” Boxing Australia was, “super im-
pressed, Queensland has raised the bar for the other states to follow.’’ The next major tournaments will be; South Queensland v North Queensland on 17-18 June at Mackay and the State Novice Championships on 8-10 July at the Acacia Ridge Hotel, Brisbane. Good luck to all local N.B.O and Impact club fighters.
inform Pink Hillbilly’s with Jess, Lochie and Paige looking sharp. Speed Demons and Knights played a skilful match with the Speed Demons putting in a committed all team effort for the duration of the game to come away with the win this time around. Jedd, Curtis and Armin all created numerous opportunities for their teams. Saints have been unstoppable this season so far in the Under 14/16 division and this week was no exception as they made it a tough challenge for the GSLC (girls). Lilly-Belle, Grace and Harriet all gave strong performances. Feisty Chicks dug deep in the match against SBSS with the score line close at half time but the SBSS girls came out firing in the second half to take the match. Monique, Zoe and Poppy all had stellar games. A superb defensive effort by Hairy Man to hold the NCC boys scoreless in the back end of the match proved to be the difference between the two teams with Eli, James and Jayden making smart decisions throughout the game. GSLC (boys) clinched the win against NDSHS in a fast-paced match with Noah, Lachlan and Jacob deserved team players of the game this week. Until the next touchdown ...

Perfect weather for it By JACK MANGROVE WITH the weather being so favourable over the past week, offshore anglers headed out in big numbers. Tuna, Spotted and Spanish Mackerel have been in good numbers on most major reefs, best way to target them has been high speed metal slugs such as Halco Twisties and Spanyid Raiders in the 10-30 gram size. Keep an eye out for diving birds feeding on bait schools. Sunshine Reef has again been preforming with plenty of sweetlip, trout and snapper. Soft plastics fished hard to the bottom have been very successful. Up on North Reef some
better quality snapper and pearl perch have been hitting the decks. Jew, larger cod and sweetlip have also been on the menu. Live baits have been getting some of the better results. A lot of anglers took advantage of the conditions and headed out wide to the banks or up north to the reefs off Double Island. Again large snapper were on the minds of a lot of anglers and they were not disappointed. Fish of around 4kg were around with some even larger fish boated. In the Noosa River there have been plenty of tailor on the chew. Surface lures are a fun way to chase them, with the early mornings and late afternoons the prime time. There have been a heap of
school trevally through the system, live baits and paddle vibe type soft plastic have been a good way to go. Jacks are still active at night, slow rolled plastics like the Gladiator Prawn rigged with a stinger hook are proving very effective as the fish are all feeding on prawns at the moment. Flathead are in good numbers at the moment with the mouth of the lakes very productive. Whiting have also been in good numbers with the dog beach and the frying pan producing some nice fish. Worms, prawns and yabbies have been the go to baits, another great way to target the fantastic table fish is with poppers and surface walkers. I like the Crystal Poppers
from Bassday as they are a little heavier and cast extremely well. On the beach, the dart have been everywhere, fishing the gutter on the Noosa North Shore has also seen some quality tailor, jew, and some bigger sized flathead, big baits of mullet fillet, tailor fillet or even a big clump of worms may see an outstanding result. The rocks around the Noosa National Park have also seen some larger bream and squire. Squid, pilchards and garfish have been the best baits. So on behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures!

The Rococos’ Noosa Tigers escaped a mini-scare at the hands of a young and exuberant Moreton Bay last Saturday in Brisbane. Trailing at the main break by ten points and then holding a narrow five points lead at three quarter time, the Tiger faithful were becoming extremely nervous. Thoughts of dropping three games in a row were quickly extinguished in the final term as the Tigers booted six goals to one to run out 34 point victors. Three final quarter goals by ex-Afl star Beamer Moloney certainly helped the cause as did the terrific blanketing job talented recruit Joel Lambourn did on the Bay’s key forward who was killing Noosa throughout the opening half. In fact, Lambourn again was adjudged Noosa’s Best Player whilst Fitzpatrick also continued his stellar season of form. Old man river Brett Angel Duke battled hard all day for the pretty lacklustre Tigers,

Big Jarrod Westell booted three goals from centre half forward whilst coach Sam Faure chimed in with two once again. Not a commanding performance by the Tigers in any way but a win nonetheless. The team will need to bring a much fiercer and collective approach this Saturday at home as we take on defending back-to-back premiers in what will be a real test. Noosa haven’t lost three in a row at home for some time and I’m sure Sam Faure and his charges will make sure this won’t be happening Saturday. Great to see three-time club champion Caleb Cubby Isles back running around and of course racking up touches in the twos last week as the Tigers start to regain the services of some very handy footballers in the coming weeks. See you all at this week’s Presidents Lunch with special guest former Carlton and Richmond hardman Ricky McLean. Apparently he has some great stories to tell. Go Tigers! Cheers, Pittsy.

The game on the weekend was one of the best team efforts I’ve ever been involved in with a great display of control, respect and skill. We had four on the bench who hadn’t played a game this year and the team were honoured to play three quarters of a game with Cubby, a respected player on and off the field. Co-captain Matt Deans showed great control after get-
ting high contact a couple of times from the same player and the team really pushed through the game with our style of footy – which is purely based around the individual players. When the players are happy they normally play their best footy. It’s so much fun for me running around with these young guys like Sam Friend and Adam Curry who are revelling with their opportunity this year. Curry is so exciting with his pace and toughness in the contest he bagged eight goals on the weekend which is a great reward for his efforts so far this season, while Sam Friend
is so smooth with his skills but so strong in his body work he is becoming a very smart player. Our back six were outstand-

Noosa Dolphins Under 12s at the Armidale School Rugby Competition.
Picture: CONTRIBUTED
Dolphins named top team TEAMWORK is the most important aspect when you’re involved in any sport and the Noosa Dolphins proved this at The Armidale School Rugby competition. The Fins worked together so
well that they managed to win “Team of the Carnival” proving that looking out for your mates and having fun won’t lead you astray on the footy field. The Armidale School Rugby
Competition is Australia’s largest under 12s competition, attracting more than 1000 young players and their family, friends, and coaches. The teams compete in five games over two days against
teams of similar skill. The players worked well as a team, played hard and were very courteous; stopping to take a moment to remember all those who have served our country at The Armidale School Memorial.
Tip-top games as Fins break surface NOOSA DOLPHINS UNDER 6 ANOTHER great day for the Under 6s, taking on St Andrew's and Grammar at the University. They are really coming together both on and off the field. A special mention to Lochie for helping his injured teammate off the field. Player of the Day was awarded to Max and Jacob, both showing great skills and endurance. Smashing tries from Daniel, Kellen, Cash, Alfie, Jacob and Hamish, these boys are the ones to watch. UNDER 7 Noosa Fins 45 defeated Brothers Rhinos 40 The mighty Under 7 Fins remain undefeated with another tip top game this week. Jake was back this week after a small hiatus and proved his worth with superb play throughout. The tiny field made for a very full field and made it hard to get over the line without lots of tagging, but the boys pushed forward and were rewarded for their efforts. It was a surprise Myles had any voice left at the end of the game with his non-stop communication “get in a line“ throughout the game. These boys are continuing to prove to the opposition that they are a real force. What champions we have in our midst. Player of the Match was awarded to Myles White. UNDER 10 Noosa Fins 5 defeated by Flinders Rugby 36 A great win to the Reds had hopes high and morale was up as Captain Saatchi led the Fins onto the field. One minute into the game Flinders scored with a conversion, not long after that they scored again. Although not from a lack of trying, the Fins struggled to go forward and secure the ball. Player of the Match was awarded to Remy who tried hard all game. Thanks to the parents and players Tommy, Conor, Hunter, Tom, and Jack of the Blacks and Reds that made up our interchange bench.
Harry Robson shows a clean pair of heels. UNDER 8 Noosa Dolphins 75 defeated Edmund Dragons 25 The Dolphins headed up the range to Maleny to take on the Edmund Dragons. The players again put on a great team performance running in 15 tries to five to secure a convincing win. Player of the Match was awarded to Levi ‘Lucky’ Cairns. It seemed at times he had spiders on him because no one could touch him as he ran in a personal tally of seven tries. UNDER 8 Noosa Reds 70 defeated Grammar 25 A hard and fast track at Witta produced an open and flowing game of footy. Noosa came away with the win but a spirited Grammar side never gave up until the final whistle. A strong showing from the forwards set the platform for the backs to run into open space and produce some of the best rugby we’ve seen this year. Player of the match was awarded to Conor Thomas.

UNDER 8 Noosa Fins 50 defeated Brothers 10 All eight of the Noosa Fins showed up at the University fully charged and buzzing with the type of excitement normally witnessed only after a large sugary treat. Proud parents enjoyed watching the lads work together as a team this week and all without exception having a great game. Harry McKerrow tackled his heart out and also contributed to the score line with a lovely try. Harry Marlow and Charlie Harmer contributed greatly with a try a piece and some notable tackling, backed up by their mates James and Wilkie. Player of the Match was awarded to George White. UNDER 10 Noosa Dolphins Reds 32 defeated University 5 A much better performance from the Reds this week running in six tries to one. Strong work from the forwards led by Daniel, Toby and Hunter laid the platform for
our speedy and damaging backs to finish with some fine tries. Player of the Match was awarded to Tom Harmer. UNDER 11 Noosa Reds 24 defeated Flinders 0 A great win for the Reds. Flinders started with all the early momentum marching play down field and looking set to score. But the Reds muscled up repelling everything Flinders could throw at them. Player of the Match was awarded to Leif Charlesworth. UNDER 11 Noosa Fins 56 defeated Brothers Rhinos 0 There is no 'I’ in team and the Fins this week reinforced that lesson. The points flowed freely for the Fins because every player executed his role. On the back of this great team work Joel bagged three tries and Jackson two. Player of the Match was awarded to Fynn O’Rielley. UNDER 12 Noosa Fins 64 defeated Edmund Dragons 10 The crowd were warmed by some entertaining rugby by the Fins as they repeatedly breached the defensive wall of the brave Dragons. Outstanding games from many of the Fins including Jarrah who notched up 29 points, Nick with incessant energy earned him a well-deserved first try of the season and Oliver who was always on hand to take advantage of good work from Jack, Jarrah and Jason in midfield. Player of the Match was awarded to Jason Burns. UNDER 13 Noosa Dolphins 33 defeated Brothers 10 Great team effort again with Hamish Farquharson-Selby scoring in the first two minutes of each half. The lads created some team tries which any super rugby side would be proud of. Player of the Match was awarded to Liam Pruss.
NOOSA PIRATES THE Noosa Pirates took on the Caloundra Sharks in Round 6 of the 2016 season. The Under 8 Blue boys played a strong game led by team captain Jack with a big thank you to Ethan who helped the team with the interchange while sick. The Under 8 Yellow fought a hard game against the rivals but the Sharks were just too fast for the Pirates. Billy Angus was awarded Player of the Match for his great tackling throughout the game. The Under 9 Yellow boys played a fierce game against Sharks hungry for Pirate blood. No leeway was given on either side and the hard hitting tackles could be heard from the sidelines. Bailey Hozier’s straight running and big gains with each carry had him awarded Player of the Match. Excellent form and fantastic defence was on show again as the Under 10 Blue and Yellow took to the field. Both teams had an awesome passing game and backed up for each other so well. The great plays carried on for the Under 11 Blue who played at home against Kawana. Both teams struggled on wet grounds with a slippery ball but Ivan pulled through to be awarded Player of the Match for his direction in attack and commitment to defence. Under 11 Yellow also played on home turf with visiting team Beerwah bringing a very tough and physical style of footy to see a nil-all score at half time. The game opened up in the second half with the Pirates coming out on top ten to six. Ashton Clifford was awarded Player of the Match for his many big, hard and straight runs. Things came up rosy for the Under 12 Gold team who walked away from Caloundra with a win. Curtis Dean, Harrison Gillard, Cade Hozier, Ethan Hozier and Harry Dwyer scored tries with Ethan also taking out Player of the Match. The Under 13 Gold team saw stellar improvement from the players with Liam Fox, Ryan Mcleary and Heath Robinson taking out points for their developed skills. The Under 14 girls might have lost their game against Nambour 32-10, but their tackling and defence improved greatly. Zahlie, Trinity and Jasmine all receiving points for an outstanding game. The Under 18 girls travelled this round as they played Nambour in Kingaroy. Unfortunately Kingaroy are struggling to make an Under 18 team so Gabbie, Keely and Lily volunteered to jump ship so the teams wouldn’t miss out on a minute of footy. Catana showed great skill in attack and defence.
Eagles show their form By JULES ROSENKRANZ NOOSA EAGLES ANOTHER perfect Sunshine Coast day in May for the Noosa Eagles Soccer Club who travelled far and wide to play their games. Under 8 Gold were defeated by Buddina Barracuda 5-1. The team played a determined and strong game and matched their opponents but unfortunately the score did not reflect this. Xavier, sliding his goal into the right corner, had the cheer squad jumping. Bonnie Boyes had some amazing saves in goals and Montanah Ward for her great work in defence took home player of the week. Under 9 Black defeated the Buddina Dolphins 3-0. The Dolphins came out strong however the Eagles were better on the day, Alaska Rosenkranz took home Player of the Week from both the opposition as well as coach Andy as he played a strong game in mid field and forward and scoring a goal in the second half. Other goal scorers were Nathan Hindmarsh and Thomson Nimac. Keiran Dow and Jaimen Slavin had great games playing showing constant pressure against the opposition. Under 11 Gold defeated the Mooloolah Adders 3-2 in Mudjimba. It was a great game for the team, goals scored by Jude Youens (2) and Hayden Martin (1). The Player of the Week was awarded to Jarrah Kerrigan. Under 13 defeated Chancellor Challenges 4-3 in another rip-snorter of a game, probably their best this year. With two players down, the nine on the field Noosa Eagles soared to heights not reached before and won the game. It was edge of your seat stuff with Hunter Way scoring 2 goals, Shane Dunning 1 and Elijah Taylor 1. Elijah also received player of the match from both his own team and the opposition team. Well done to the whole team. noosatoday.com.au

Hello world, Caitlin's got travel plans TRAVELLING the world playing her favourite sport is not new for local 17-year-old Caitlin Bettenay but her next trip overseas is a bit of a big deal. Cailtin is busy preparing to travel to Columbia as the youngest and only Queensland representative in the Australian Senior Volleyroos team. Caitlin, who has been play-
ing volleyball since she was 14, will head to Columbia to compete in the World Grand Prix with her team in June. “It has been my goal since I finished school to make this team but I’ll keep pushing myself,” Caitlin said. “I love the competitive edge of the sport and the physicality. “This game really pushes
you, there’s a great team environment and it really makes you a better person.” The competitive team is sponsored nationally by Hello World and local store owner Clare O’Keeffe said she couldn’t be more proud to support such a local talent. “We are very proud of Caitlin and love supporting and encouraging such amazing talent,” Ms O’Keeffe said.

Quite able to have fun on field WITH the football season well on its way there is a special kind of footy training being conducted each Wednesday afternoon at the Noosa Tigers AFL club for kids, teens and young adults with a disability. This group of sporting fans is as keen to learn AFL skills as any other die-hard footy followers. Organiser Rob Purves who launched the Special Needs AFL Clinic last year won the highly regarded State Volunteer of the Year award for AFL Qld for supporting and encouraging young people with disabilities to play the game. Rob’s attitude towards inclusion has now been firmly ingrained within many of the Noosa Tigers players who come along each week to teach up to 20 young people with disabilities all about AFL. Rob said that anyone with any ability can play the game and enjoy all that sport brings. “We are prepping the players to be ready for a interclub display match on 18 June which will be played at half time of the Noosa vs Moreton Bay match,” he said. “Last year’s successful match was watched and enjoyed by supporters and players from both clubs who cheered from the sidelines encouraging all players.” Rob said the goals of the clinic are to build self-confidence, create skill development, teach ball skills to help gross motor skills, improve co-ordination and fitness and, most importantly, to be social and fun. “Everyone responds really well and they can’t wait for each Wednesday to join in and buddy up with Noosa Tiger players who also give up their time,” Rob said. Disability organisations or individuals with a disability wishing to learn more about this clinic can contact Rob Purves at rob-purves@live.com.au or phone 0433 240 005. noosatoday.com.au
Surfs up for Jayden Page, Joe Markwell, Brock Gower and Cooper Davies.
Surfers are waving the way ahead for season By PAUL PETERSON

ROUND four of the 11-round season for the Noosa Boardriders kicked off over the weekend at Alexandria Bay. With a lack of waves up and down the coast, organisers took an early run into the Noosa National Park and called it on at the beautiful A-Bay. More than 67 surfers across the day performed well in the small but fun conditions putting on performances that any keen surfer would be proud of. Mitchell Peterson took out the Under 8 boys to the always charging Henry Dowling while Harper Smales won the hotly contested Under 8 girls. Big Brother Landen Smales surfed well all day taking out the Under 10 division and backing up to win the Under 12 category in an extremely close battle with William Peterson. Twelve-year-old Luke Skelton stepped up in the Under 14 division claiming his first win in for the season while Emily Lethbridge, after a disappointing Under 16 result, claimed the title in the Under 18 girls. The Under 16 boys and girls division showcased the complete surf displays. Ethan Trotman taking to the air and displaying skills of an open surfer narrowly defeated Cooper Davies and Toby Lyons with the relaxed Joe Markwell in fourth. A big thanks must go to all the parents that made this logistically tough event possible and a big shout out to all the Groms that had a great day of surfing. Thursday, 19 May, 2016 | NOOSA TODAY 47

The last farewell Life of
brine PHIL JARRATT
LAST weekend was a big one for family, and it ended as it began, with a few tears and a heady mix of happy and sad. The Noosa Jarratts jumped on the early flight Friday morning, drove south from Sydney and made it to the chapel in time to farewell our Mum and Nanny. Despite the fact that most of her generation pre-deceased her, there was a good roll-up of rellies, friends and people whose lives she had touched in one way or another. Old ladies kept telling me what a wag she was when she took them on Girl Guide camps, or how she kept them amused at choir practice, or crochet class. Even the Rev Don Marshall, veteran Papua New Guinea missionary and the man who took me to my first cricket test match, not much younger than Mum himself, was there. In her will Mum had asked that Don conduct the funeral service. He’s a bit past that these days, but we shared a few memories about cricket and saving the savages. And later, of course, we toasted her life, over and over again. Mum was the last of her generation, but casting my eye around the restaurant where we ended the day, I thought she would be proud of her legacy of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, people with such different lives and stories, but united in their love of the matriarch. Our family had gathered to farewell a loved one, but just 48 hours later I found myself in another country and among a group of people who were about to be reunited with their loved ones. Our friends Patrick Burgess and Galuh Wandita, human rights activists who run the Asia Justice and Rights (AJAR) centre in Bali, were hosting an initiation weekend for members of Timor Leste’s “stolen children”, and invited us to join the celebration prior to their return to their homeland for the first time in decades. 48 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 19 May, 2016
Part of the Timorese stolen children group at Denpasar airport. Picture: Galuh Wandita Celebration is possibly not the best description of what we walked into in the AJAR meeting joglo last Sunday afternoon, but it was an uplifting experience. Patrick had written a song about their extraordinary lives, and he and Galuh had translated it into Indonesian so that the group could sing along. They put me in the car and drove away Rivers of tears ran down your face Thirty years pass slowly by But today I’m going home I’m going home Patrick strummed his guitar while the group of about 20 sang along loudly and lustily. There was joy in their faces but for some the emotion of the moment was too much. One young man fled the room sobbing. Galuh later explained that he had just learned that his real mother had died before he could make the reunion trip. Each of these Timorese people had a story to tell, some tragic, some not, but all of them

bound together by the stark reality that they were forcibly removed from their homes and their families while still children and resettled in Indonesia, often spending years in orphanages. The stealing of Timorese children started in the 1970s and continued through the 1990s, so that today the earliest of them are now in middle age with families of their own. Born Catholic, they have been Muslim for most of their lives. They know only the Indonesian version of Timorese history, which is to say they no virtually nothing of their home. It’s easy to be critical of Indonesia over this obvious injustice, but we have to look no further than our own backyard for parallels in the Stolen Generation of Indigenous children. Now, thanks to AJAR and other human rights organisations spending years seeking out the stolen children in far corners of Java and Sulawesi, and thanks to a little bit of belated mercy from Joko Widodo’s government, small groups of them are going home, albeit temporarily. A handsome bald man in his forties
named Mubarrak (“like Barack Obama”, he joked) told me how he led a good life now in Indonesia, but he had always felt a deep sadness because he had been old enough to remember the first life he had, and yet he knew nothing of those people and places now. Mubarrak didn’t seem to harbour great resentments, he just beamed with joy that at last he was going home. Others in the group had been less fortunate. Galuh showed us the “river of life” that each of them had drawn over the weekend. Some showed snags and sharp turns where the water was coloured the deep red of blood. Others ran smoothly and freely after initial twists and turns. As I write this they are on the plane, on their way home. They have to return to Indonesia, and most of them actually want to. For better or worse, it has become their home now. But I hope that this real homecoming has not been left too late, and that it brings them the closure they deserve. noosatoday.com.au
