Bags are back!

AFTER countless volunteer hours and thousands of stitches, Boomerang Bag volunteers are finally ready to release the upcycled reusable bags into the Noosa community.

The Boomerang Bag official launch will take place on Sunday 19 June at the Bent Banana in Peregian Beach from 10am.

Project manager Desire Gralton said Bent Banana was the perfect place to launch the community project.

“We’re launching at the Bent Banana as they have been supportive of our project all along, acting as a drop-off point for sheets and all sorts of donations that have already or will at some stage become bags,” she said.

Bent Banana owner Jenny Walker said she was happy to support the community initiative which she believed would be well supported by locals.

“We think this is a great idea and we know people will use the bags and bring them back because they’re in the Village each day,“ she said.

Head along to the Bent Banana to celebrate the release of the first 1000 upcycled Boomerang Bags and enjoy a free mocktail and performance by The Cherry Ripes who will be covering Tim Minchin’s canvas bags song with a twist.

Hospital is safe

By MEGAN OGLE THE chief of Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service has moved to reassure residents that Noosa Hospital will remain open.

Addressing the Chamber of Commerce Noosa at its general meeting on Tuesday 14 June, chief executive Kevin Hegarty said the future of the hospital was secure amidst rumours of an imminent closure.

“Noosa Hospital’s future is certain,” he said.

“Noosa was best served by a model that combined both public

and private as there isn’t the demand to support and make viable a standalone private or public hospital.

“Noosa Hospital is unique.

“It’s the only hospital in Queensland that operates under a BOOT contract and that doesn’t mean it’s getting booted.

“Boot as in build, own, operate, transfer. It’s a private hospital that is built on state land under a contract and service agreement.”

The 20-year contract expires on 30 June 2020 however Mr Hegarty said negotiations were already underway with the operators of the hos-

pital, Ramsay Health Care, to ensure continuity of service.

Mr Hegarty also confirmed (SCHHS) will continue to fund the provision of services to public patients at Noosa Hospital.

Mr Hegarty said the SCHHS is committed to maintaining local capacity for public patients in service areas such as an emergency medical centre and inpatient beds.

“Two messages I’d like you to take away tonight is that absolute assurance that what’s in place with Noosa Hospital at the moment will continue.

“There may be some contractual change, there will have to be as the current one ends on 30 June 2020,” Mr Hegarty said.

“But the main thing that the community and visitors to the community need to know is that their access to services is guaranteed and they will see no change other than perhaps an expansion of the private capacity because if Ramsay Health Care get that certainty beyond 2020 hopefully they will continue to grow that private sector capacity to meet the needs as well,” he said.

Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service chief executive Kevin Hegarty says Noosa Hospital is here to stay.

Seven in tussle for Wide Bay

By MEGAN OGLE WARREN Truss’s retirement from Wide Bay means a new face will occupy the coastal seat after the 2 July election, with a field of seven candidates vying for voters’ attention.

Taking out number one in the ballot draw for Wide Bay is Glenn Lazarus Team candidate Jannean Dean. Ms Dean is a long-time resident of Hervey Bay and has worked in multiple management and leadership roles within government and private sector enterprises as well as running her own business.

Ms Dean listed Fraser Island Dingoes, medical cannabis, and protecting the environment as three priorities for her campaign.

In second place on the ballot paper is Elise Cottam, who is standing for Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party.

Ms Cottam said she has watched Pauline Hanson from her early twenties and has “admired her guts and determination to have a go and be the voice of our nation”.

“One Nation’s motto ‘never give up’, definitely describes my work ethic, it has been my driving force for all my life. I am asking the people of Wide Bay not to ever give up, no matter what. You now have a real choice besides the major parties. Pauline Hanson’s One Nation is back and we need your vote so that we can give you a voice in Parliament,” she said.

Next on the ballot is local Australian Labor Party candidate Lucy Stanton of Boreen Point.

Ms Stanton has more than 30 years of experience in business and currently volunteers as a phone counsellor with the Salvation Army.

Ms Stanton said she believed it was important to retain a Labour Government in Canberra to “fight the slash and burn tactics of our local LNP representatives”.

“With the Queensland LNP slashing services, now more than ever, we need to retain a federal Labor government that will prioritise accessible health care, better school funding, and employment opportunities for Wide Bay,” she said.

Sitting fourth on the ballot is police officer and Liberal National Party candidate Llew O’Brien, who was chosen to replace long-serving local member and former Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss.

“It is a privilege to be given an opportunity to stand as the LNP’s representative in Wide Bay and follow Warren Truss who has worked so hard for this region over many, many years,” Mr O’Brien said.

“Wide Bay is a wonderful and diverse part of this state and I’m committed working hard as strong local representative to ensure we can provide opportunities our families and industries to grow and prosper.”

Representing the Greens and coming in fifth on the ballot draw is former paramedic and exsoldier Bron Marsh. The Gympie local said she was passionate about protecting the natural environment, ground and surface water quality, and agricultural land in the Wide Bay, as well as the mental health of returned soldiers and farmers.

“I am greatly concerned by the increasing rate of suicide among our returned service per-

Following Ms Marsh on the ballot is Bruce Mayer, former electric train constructor and Family First candidate. Mr Mayer lives in Maryborough and has been a regular Family First supporter in state and federal elections in previous years.

Mr Mayer listed affordable housing, lower taxes and safer roads as some of the Family First policies he supports.

And last, but not least, the final candidate in the ballot draw is Barry Cook representing Katter’s Australian Party (KAP). Mr Cook, now retired, said was motivated to run in the election by his frustration at both major parties’ “failure to understand the plight of rural communities, and redress or acknowledge regional issues”.

Mr Cook said he would provide a “new approach” to issues such as that of unemployment, the struggling dairy and cane industries, prohibition of illegal international investment in the Taxi industry and keep Australian assets nationally owned.

The Federal Election is set to take place on Saturday 2 July, and for a full list of polling booths head to www.aec.gov.au/where.

Postal vote applications are now open - applications can be submitted online at www. aec.gov.au/opva or via a hardcopy application available from the AEC website, any AEC office or Australia Post office.

Molly’s Song finale AFTER more than seven years of dedication and $40,000 in donations, Molly’s Song has finally reached its final verse with the charity’s founder moving south.

Local Libby Day founded Molly’s Song in honour of her mother, Molly, who passed away from Alzheimers, and has worked tirelessly with a dedicated band of volunteers to raise awareness and more than $40,000 for the Alzheimer’s Australia Dementia Research Foundation.

In a letter to her supporters, Libby said she wanted to share a “huge thank you from the bottom of my heart” and thanked the Noosa community for their enduring support.

“After seven years of raising funds ... I am now going on a ‘fund-raising sabbatical’,” she said.

“Greg and I are on the move. A tree change from the Sunny Coast to Victoria, closer to my dad and family.”

Libby said she wanted to thank all her “dear friends” who have helped with each event, as well as local community groups who have embraced the cause, and local businesses who have donated to the cause throughout the charity’s life.

Libby said one of the most memorable fund-raisers was when she and a number of supporters took part in the Ride to Remember, cycling from Melbourne to Canberra in 2014.

“A lifetime achievement that will bond us together forever,” she said.

The success of Molly’s Song has not only been a testament to Libby’s dedication, compassion and determination, but also to the enduring support of the Noosa community.

In her letter to supporters, Libby listed a wide range of local community members and groups who embraced and elevated the charity throughout the years from the team at Design Central who provided graphics for advertising to the local publications that helped raise the charity’s profile and the local ABC Radio who helped Libby share her message.

“Every year they (ABC Radio) have welcomed me to the studios for an interview to help spread the word, making an enormous difference,” she said.

After all the years and effort, Libby said there seemed to be “more and more light at the end of the tunnel”.

“Alzheimer’s Australia Dementia Research Foundation is definitely helping to find a cure and improve the lives of those already suffering from dementia and their carers,” she said.

Libby signed off saying it’s not goodbye, but just “see you round the ridges”.

“My beautiful mum, Molly, who I think of everyday with a full heart and such fondness and gratitude, would have been very proud of you all,” Libby said.

“Let’s hope there will soon come a time when all the much loved mums and dads can continue to sing, dance, and laugh to their hearts content.”

INBRIEF Fake money in circulation THE Sunshine Coast Criminal Investigation Branch is warning local businesses to be vigilant after the recent use of counterfeit cash.

Officers are investigating several reports of people distributing counterfeit $50 notes throughout the Sunshine Coast in Wurtulla, Kawana Waters, Currimundi and Aroona.

Detective Senior Sergeant Darren Edwards urged business owners and community members to be mindful and check the quality of the $50 notes in particular.

Detective Sen Sgt Edwards said the notes were made of paper rather than the proper polymer, meaning the notes rip easily.

Anyone who may have information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit the Reserve Bank of Australia for more information on counterfeit money.

Nine face drug charges

After seven years of raising awareness and funds for the Alzheimer’s Australia Dementia Research Foundation, Libby Day will take a "fund-raising sabbatical".

NINE people have been charged with drug offences after officers from the Sunshine Coast District Tactical Crime Squad executed search warrants at homes in the Noosa region.

On Thursday 9 June, homes in Noosaville, Cooroy, Pomona and Coolum were searched, along with properties in Traverston and Black Mountain, resulting in nine people receiving notices to appear at court or drug diversion notices for 32 offences.

Police will allege during the search of residences they located quantities of cannabis, Methylamphetamine, drug utensils, ammunition, a flick knife and mobile phones.

Charges range from possessing and producing dangerous drugs, possessing amphetamines, possessing utensils used for smoking or administering drugs, as well as possession of explosives and unlawful use of a motor vehicle. More charges are likely as police investigations continue.

Tabs to be kept on flying fox colonies NOOSA residents driven batty by flying fox colonies will soon be one step closer to peace with the Queensland Government announcing a $2.7 million research program to better understand the noisy critters.

Environment Minister Dr Steven Miles announced the plans on Saturday 11 June, saying the funding will be delivered over three years to help local councils monitor little-red flying fox movements and improve management of roosts in urban areas.

Dr Miles said the government recognised the need to manage urban flying fox roosts to address community concerns while ensuring the long-term survival of the species in the wild.

“We recognise that some flying fox roosts in built-up areas need intervention to protect residents from nuisance impacts such as smell and noise,” he said.

“We also recognise the vital role played by flying foxes in pollinating native plants and maintaining forest health.

“We also acknowledge that while councils can move roosts on, they have no control over where they go next. So understanding their movements will make sure councils aren’t just shuffling a problem around their community or to a neighbouring council.”

The program will start later this year in Charters Towers in North Queensland and will use GPS transmitters and satellite monitoring to track flying fox movements.

Dr Miles said information gained from this work would guide future decision-making and approaches to the management of flying fox roosts in urban areas.

Australian Bat Clinic director Trish Wim-

Research to understand how flying foxes could help local councils to better manage noisy roosts. berley said the research would be invaluable.

“It is important councils have science-based education and knowledge if and when it becomes necessary to move or maintain flying fox camps in local suburbs,” she said.

Dr Miles said the government would continue to allow councils to take action to address flying fox roosts but “any future decisions must be scientifically sound and not put flying fox populations at risk”.

Mayor Tony Wellington said Noosa Council was happy to participate in scientific research that aided an understanding of Flying Foxes.

"Flying-foxes are known to travel over large

distances, and to move regularly between camp sites. Indeed it is that highly nomadic behaviour that makes them so difficult to manage," Cr Wellington said.

"Previous studies based here on the Sunshine Coast using radio tracking devices on Grey-headed Flying-foxes have illustrated just how unpredictable their movements can be.

Research into Little-Red Flying-fox movements will add to the current information available about these animals.

"As Minister Miles notes, it’s important to understand whether actions by one local government aren’t simply making things worse for other local government areas."

Makeover team THE Tait-Duke Community Cottage is in need of a make-over and United Synergies is looking for 10 people who want to bring the beautiful old building back to life.

As a local not-for-profit, United Synergies is offering a 16-week paid traineeship in construction to locals who want to take part in the restoration of the cottage.

The traineeships will start on 1 July and will provide the participants with a Certificate I in Construction and are open to anyone over 15 years of age. United Synergies project manager Sean Connelly said the traineeships were a great opportunity for anyone interested in construction to get their foot in the door and make valuable contacts with local employers.

“Trainees will get a taste of landscaping, construction and worksite skills while working alongside big local employers like Hutchinson Builders, Noosa Council and East Coast TAFE,” he said.

Anyone interested in applying must be available to work full-time hours, with four days hands-on at the site and the fifth day in a classroom for theory.

“It is our goal to secure real jobs for the trainees during or after the 16 weeks through networking with employers who are also working on the site,” Mr Connelly said.

“It really is like a 16-week long interview and a wonderful opportunity for employers to cherry-pick the best people for their company from a pool of local trainees.”

The Tait-Duke Community Cottage restoration is a collaboration between United Synergies, Noosa Council, East Coast TAFE, Noosa Heads Rotary Club and Hutchinson Builders.

The restoration is expected to take around 12 months, with the traineeships forming part of the important first stage of the project.

Once complete, the Tait-Duke Community Cottage will hold meeting rooms and community facilities.

Anyone who would like to apply for one of the 10 traineeships, or any local employers who would like to support the trainees by offering paid work, work experience or resources for the project, should contact Mr Connelly on 0439 047 290.

Ride backs late night MORE than 40 residents put pedal to metal as they rode in support of local business in Noosa Junction.

Protest organiser and Noosa Junction resident Gary Swanepoel said the ride, which took place on Tuesday 14 June, was about supporting a thriving Junction.

“Today is about supporting late night trading for Village Bicycle. We live and work in the Noosa Junction and the key thing is that it’s zoned as the CBD of Noosa so to not allow late night trading goes against what the area is zoned for,” Mr Swanepoel said.

“The people who live here have chosen to live in a commercial space. We want to see the Junction become a thriving space for residents and businesses.

“To have a council that enables people to run their business and to not continually regulate is what’s going to strengthen Noosa.”

Noosa Council is expected to approve a material change of use for the Village Bicycle restaurant that will see the popular nightspot operate until midnight four nights a week.

An initial recommendation by staff to approve the material change of use (MCU) came before the Planning and Environment Committee on Tuesday 7

June following a number of noise complaints.

However, councillor Frank Pardon disagreed with the officers’ recommendation to limit midnight trading to two nights.

At the general committee meeting on Monday 13 June, and after vigorous debate, councillors voted to allow Village Bicycle to operate until midnight for four nights a week.

Councillor Ingrid Jackson said she felt the approval for Village Bicycle to trade until midnight from Friday to Monday was “appropriate”.

“Actually, Noosa doesn’t have a lot of business centres so I think it is really appropriate to support business in the small number of small business centres we do have,” she said.

Cr Jackson said Noosa Junction had great potential to become a vibrant centre of entertainment and was “comfortable” allowing Village Bicycle to operate until midnight four nights a week.

The MCU will be voted on at Thursday 16 June’s council meeting and includes a number of other conditions including a requirement for the owners of Village Bicycle to construct a sound-barrier fence, a limit to the number of patrons in the venue and a four-night trading trial period until June 2017.

We are the budget losers

Swanepoel Protest organiser Gary rter Carly po sup ess with local busin ve Precinct ati Cre oas No and s eve Re . on Nix Tim member

Over 40 residents joined the ride for local business.

NOOSA is among the losers in the Queensland 2016-’17 budget, says Member for Noosa Glen Elmes.

Queensland Treasurer Curtis Pitt handed down the 2016-’17 budget on Tuesday (14 June) and Mr Elmes said Noosa had “little or nothing” coming its way.

“Coolum State High will receive some funding for classrooms, and $40,000 has been allocated to the Noosa National Park Sunshine Beach access to replace 80 metres of eroded boardwalk,” Mr Elmes said.

“There’s also $7m allocated for homelessness and $36.1m for social housing across the region, but there’s no telling how much will be allocated to the Noosa region.”

Mr Elmes was in Brisbane to hear Mr Pitt’s speech and to also meet with Attorney-General Yvette D’Ath along with Noosa Mayor Tony Wellington to talk all things TAFE. “Mr Wellington and I met with the Attorney-General who now has a better understanding of where the Noosa Council stands, and Mr Wellington also has a better understanding of where the state stands,” Mr Elmes said.

“We didn’t make huge progress, it’s about small steps, but the overwhelming thing is the state is willing to work with Noosa Council on this.”

Mr Elmes said the government would consider re-opening the Noosa TAFE campus for short-term leases providing there were viable business opportunities and after a cost analysis of works required to bring the campus up to scratch was carried out.

“The government would ideally be looking for someone to take over the campus on a medium to long-term lease, but in the meantime the campus could be divided up for multiple short-term leases,” Mr Elmes said.

Sure shot at success A LOCAL student is on the fast track to success after recently making the cut for a national sports team.

Nick Newton, a Year 10 student at Good Shepherd Lutheran College and GS Aquatics Swim Club member has been selected to compete in the Under 15 Australian Water Polo team as goal keeper for the European Tour in July.

A huge achievement for anyone, Nick’s accomplishment is particularly significant because he had only started playing water polo in the past 18 months.

During that time he has represented his school in competitions and then joined the Sunshine Coast Water Polo Team which lead to a spot on the Queensland team.

Earlier this year Nick attended trials in Brisbane and was invited to attend a fiveday camp at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in Canberra to try out for the Australian team.

“The camp was attended by players from all around the country,” said Nick.

“Being selected as one of the two team goalkeepers to go to Hungary and Serbia was a great honour.

“I am really grateful for this amazing opportunity to play water polo for Australia.

Digital hub plans open up THE much anticipated Peregian Beach Rufous Street precinct development is a step closer with the Noosa Council now inviting formal submissions on the proposed construction.

Community services director Alan ‘Fox’ Rogers said that now the public notification period had commenced, residents could view plans, including artist impressions of the proposed IT hub and new community building online at yoursay.noosa.qld.gov.au “The Rufous Street MCU, which is in line with the recently approved Rufous Street Master Plan, makes provision for a change of use on the site to allow the development of a digital hub,” he said.

“It also provides for additional car parks and preserves a significant amount of open space land for the community’s use and enjoyment.

“In stage two of the proposed development, the application seeks approval for the digital hub to expand into the current community house and a new community building to be built where the old bowls clubhouse used to be.”

The public can make submissions until 1 July via the council’s website www.noosa. qld.gov.au To find the proposal select “I want to ... find a planning application” and enter the application number MCU16/0044 and REC16/0009 and follow the prompts.

Noosa Council has called for formal submissions on the planned Rufous Street development.

Cruise line comes to the party for cancer mum THE community has jumped behind Tewantin mum of three Roz Harper since her struggle with brain cancer was made public early this year.

Local businesses have joined together across the region to hold multiple fundraisers, raising much-needed funds for exhorbitant transport and medical costs.

The latest business to join the fund-raising effort is Noo-

sa River and Canal Cruises, which is set to hold a fun cruise along the much-loved river.

Guests are invited to join Noosa River and Canal Cruise owners Kym and Gary Logan as they cruise the Noosa’s stunning waterways listening to tunes and enjoying cold beverages and delicious canapes kindly donated by the Tewantin-Noosa RSL. Noosa River and Canal

Cruises’ Danielle Mulherin said she hoped the cruise would raise over $2000 with proceeds from the day going directly to the Harper family.

The two-hour cruise will set sail on Sunday 26 June, from 2.45pm, and departs from The Jetty, 186 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville.

Tickets are $60 per person and can be booked by phoning Danielle on 0423 006 885. noosatoday.com.au

Coast Guard’s caring service FOR many of us, the final resting place of a loved one holds great significance and for those with an affinity to the sea there is now an easy way to scatter their ashes thanks to Coast Guard Noosa.

When they’re not busy saving lives, Coast Guard Noosa offers a caring service that takes families and friends out to sea to scatter the ashes of a loved one.

Anyone is welcome to use Coast Guard Noosa’s service to scatter ashes for a fee of $300, which helps maintain their life-saving rescue vessels and pays for the fuel used when travelling to the scattering location be it in the ocean, bay or river.

A plaque to commemorate a loved one can be bought for an extra $1200 and will be placed on Coast Guard Noosa’s special Memorial Wall at Munna Point.

Made with a sandstone-look and designed to face out to the river mouth, the touching Memorial Wall is a place for people to spend time remembering their loved ones.

The Memorial Wall has been five years in the making and was built as a service to the local community by Coast Guard Noosa volunteers with materials largely donated by local businesses.

Coast Guard Noosa member and memorial wall manager David Gillies said the community had always supported the work of Coast Guard Noosa, so the volunteer organisation wanted to give back and offer a place of remembrance for those who had been lost at sea, had their ashes scattered at sea or simply had an affinity with the river or ocean.

Anyone is welcome to place a plaque on the wall and you are also able to reserve a space for future installation. For any inquiries regarding scattering of ashes or the Memorial Wall, phone the flotilla headquarters on 5474 3695.

Noosa Coast Guard’s Munna Point Memorial Wall looks out to sea.

Place a Memorial Plaque on our Memorial Wall and have your loved one’s ashes scattered at sea.

Winter travellers warm to Noosa TOURISM Noosa is heating up their marketing campaign as the cooler months set in across Australia.

With chilly temperatures in both Melbourne and Sydney, Tourism Noosa has launched their winter marketing campaign Be Here in both cities.

Tourism Noosa CEO Damien Massingham said Tourism Noosa’s winter activation at Federation Square last year was a great success in reminding Melburnians how warm and inviting a Noosa holiday could be.

Mr Massingham said the latest data from Tourism Research Australia showed a surge in visitation from Melbourne, with visitor numbers to Noosa up 70 per cent for the year ending December 2015. “Our winter campaign this year will have a strong focus on both Victoria and New South Wales. In Victoria the iconic Noosa tram has just commenced running through the cold grey streets of Melbourne and digital advertising is underway via The Age online, Australian Traveller magazine’s website and via Facebook,� Mr Massingham said. “As well, over 40,000 copies of the Noosa Winter Holiday Guide are being distributed nationally as an insert in the winter edition of Australian Traveller magazine. The guide is packed with winter holiday ideas as well as 27 great holiday deals provided by Tourism Noosa members. “In terms of an activation focus,

Road promise to pay for election THE LNP has this week promised $2 million towards sealing a popular tourist road if it is elected in the coming election.

Noosa MP Glen Elmes joined LNP federal candidate for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien and Gympie MP Tony Perrett at Kin Kin on Sunday 12 June where Minister for Transport Darren Chester announced that an elected Turnbull government would provide $2 million toward seeling the link road between Noosa and Rainbow Beach.

Mr Chester labelled the potential project a “win” for tourists, tourism

operators the economy and environment and said there were a host of benefits for locals and tourists should the road be sealed.

“The completion of the road will allow tourists, particularly slow moving vehicles such as caravans and RVs, to get off the Bruce Highway at Caloundra and not have to return until Maryborough, which means more tourism dollars are spent in the local communities along that stretch,” he said.

“The project also drives slower moving traffic off the Bruce Highway

which is good news for other road users and also reduces the need for local traffic to use the beach as the major thoroughfare between Noosa and Rainbow Beach, which is good for the environment.”

Mr Chester said locals and visitors will be able to enjoy all aspects of the coastline more easily without having to own a four wheel drive.

Mr Elmes said the completion of the Counter Road would be one of the most significant infrastructure achievements for the Sunshine and Cooloola Coasts.

Noosa MP Glen Elmes joined LNP federal candidate for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien, Gympie MP Tony Perrett and Minister for Transport Darren Chester at Kin Kin on Sunday 12 June to announce a promise of $2 million toward sealing the link road between Noosa and Rainbow Beach.

Flavour of the night MORE than 120 cheese enthusiasts gathered at The J Noosa on Friday 10 June to delight in brie and bubbles as part of the latest Cheese Therapy night.

The monthly events bring together cheese and wine lovers with some of the world’s best offerings.

One half of Cheese Therapy founders, Sam Penny and Helen Shadforth, said they were thrilled the event was a sell out and look forward to hosting more nights in Noosa.

Mates are there for real help BEYONDBLUE is urging men to beat the blues by picking up the phone and calling a mate.

To celebrate Men’s Health Week from 13 to 19 June, Beyondblue is calling on Australian men to think about what mateship means to them saying regular catch ups with friends is one of the best defences against depression, anxiety and suicide.

Beyondblue chairman Jeff Kennett is urging men to pick up the phone and make a time to catch up.

“Just because you go to the footy with someone or call your work colleagues ‘mate’, doesn’t mean you have the kind of friendship that allows you to talk about mental health issues,” he said.

“

A real mate will listen and back you up while you get the help you need …

“True mateship has real depth to it. Real mates are there for one another no matter what, so don’t be afraid to talk about feeling down or not coping.

“A real mate will listen and back you up while you get the help you need.”

Nearly eight Australians die by suicide every day and of those six are men, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

One of the groups most at risk of suicide is men aged in their 30s

and 40s, but research shows they are also most likely to let friendships slide as their lives change and they focus on work and family.

Research has revealed that 25 per cent of middle-aged Australian men have nobody outside their immediate family to rely on and 45 per cent say they were not satisfied with the number of friends and acquaintances they have with 60 per cent saying they don’t feel they are part of a community.

Anybody concerned about themselves or a friend’s mental health, but worried about saying the wrong thing, can learn how to start a conversation at www. beyondblue.org.au/get-support/ have-theconversation.

Anybody not coping day-today, feeling lonely or isolated and needing to talk about it, can join the Beyondblue online forums at www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/online-forums.

They can also contact the Beyondblue Support Service 24 hours a day, seven days a week, on 1300 224 636 or via the online chat service daily from 3pm to midnight (AEST) at www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support. noosatoday.com.au

No closure on cards

Choppers beat the bats

GEOFF Heaton (9 June) wrote that he heard “a rumour that there was a suggestion to close the Noosa Hospital”.

Upon reading this, I contacted Kevin Hegarty, Chief Executive of the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service, who has reassured me and your readers that is not the case.

Kevin reiterated the guarantee he made to the Noosa community in October last year that Noosa Hospital will continue to maintain public medical services, including the emergency medical centre, medical inpatient beds and elective surgery, well into the future.

Ingrid Jackson, Noosa Council.

IN REPLY to recent letters - we would be happy to put up with “chopper” noise three times a day - no comparison with bats’ loud chatter and screeching all day, evening, and early morning, plus the smell and mess that comes with them, which we have been dealing with for over four and a half years. We have helicopters coming over to the hospital on a regular basis, however they do not fly over half a million at a time making a mess, and sounding like a machinegun on our outdoor area roof, as they drop all their mess.

We continue to emphasise to people like Annelies that we are not espousing mass culling - merely a more suitable solution for them and us. I can tell you I have not met one single person at the library, leisure centre or anywhere else, who has said - “it must be wonderful living with all those bats”. Instead everyone asks us how we cope, because they couldn’t.

Bats are classed as “endangered” species, but whatever anyone may say; they are definitely increasing at Wallace Park. Every year they arrive and have babies, and so the cycle goes on, and the number of bat stories in the papers in the last four years shows that there is a problem. Peter Milne, our wonderful Environmental Officer, has continued to say: “Don’t worry, they will move on” - when?

Noosa Council say they have spent $100,000 on bat issues - on what - a few signs “educating us”, chopping down a few trees and engaging a management team - can’t see that this was taxpayer money well spent. Finally - a sign on a campervan says it all: “Don’t stop here - this is bat country.”

Norah Lilley, Tewantin.

Hospice is viable EXISTING state regulations, with volunteering, patient input, plus minimum subsidies, make a hospice viable. It is naive to imagine a hospice to survive otherwise. Patient input is vital, ranging from pension, dole and child subsidy; maybe $400, $200 to $100. Then government input a maximum $100, $300 to $400 accordingly. Affluent patients affording the full weekly costs. This remains cheaper to the taxpayer than any state hospital.

For any government handing over $100,000 just for planning is scandalous when planning is obvious to any two-year-old. Management starts with a business mind to survive, as I believe Dr Lewins recognises. The grant should be sent back or invested in a fixed deposit and used to re-open the hospice when a business plan is proven.

Mick Prior, Black Mountain.

Quarry quandary THE recent legal decision made between the Noosa Council and Neilson Group is rather strange given that our new Mayor Tony Wellington as part of his election campaign indicated that he would see the quarry close. This hasn’t happened so what other promises has our new mayor made that he will be unable or not willing to keep.

Our new mayor during his election campaign recognised the community concerns with unemployment, jobs, housing affordability, maintaining council assets and provision of new council infrastructure. To date our new mayor appears to be only motivated with pioneering the environment, sustainability, and little to do with the prime concerns of the community. When will our new mayor embrace the community concerns?

Jeff Nuske, Noosa.

Slogans fading BECAUSE 50,000 jobs have been lost in Australia this year, the LNP three-word-slogan “Jobs and Growth” has been put on the backburner. The economy is now at the forefront.

So how well are they doing? Three years ago when they were elected the deficit was $10 billion. They labelled this a “debt disaster”. It is now $30 billion. The gross debt, largely money raised from government bonds, was $150 billion. It is now $420 billion.

While the LNP are very keen on taking money out of circulation by pruning government services, they don’t like to mention “revenue raising” because it throws the spotlight on people like the Prime Minister, with the bulk of their money stashed in offshore tax havens. It also highlights the fact that 667 of Australian’s biggest companies paid no tax last year, possibly due to the fact that Tony Abbott sacked 4400 ATO workers whose jobs involved chasing taxes from overseas companies, and tax havens.

The biggest disgrace of all is the LNP’s wish to financially punish people on pensions.

Social welfare costs Australia $42 billion per year. Corporate welfare costs our nation $92 billion per year. $17.5 billion of this goes to fossil fuel industries, who give generously to the major parties to keep the rort going. Malcolm Turnbull now wants to decrease taxes on Australia’s wealthiest people and business.

That will shift the tax burden and austerity even more onto Australia’s middle classes, who will have less to spend. One guess what that will do to the small businesses that this government purports to support.

Look at the facts. Please don’t be fooled by these leaners again.

Bron Marsh, Wide Bay Greens Candidate. noosatoday.com.au

Sack of rumours AN UGLY rumour is spreading across electorates of Wide Bay, Fisher and Fairfax. Rumour is that people will vote for a sack of potatoes because it will bring greater benefits to these electorates than have the previous or current representatives. Can this be true?

Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach.

Balmy or barmy?

AREN’T these warm days and nights wonderful? Toads and mosquitoes are still active. It’s like being unexpectedly warm in your home on a cold winter night, then discovering it is because your house is on fire. Our planet, our home, isn’t quite on fire but the rate at which it is warming has been a concern to the people who study these things for over 50 years. Our uninformed and conservative ideologues have successfully inhibited national action to do our best to significantly reduce CO2 emissions, to develop alternative energy strategies and industries, and, especially, to stop mining coal.

I can imagine in the next decade or so a Royal Commission being called to place blame and identify the corruption responsible for Australia missing the financial benefits of embracing alternative technologies and simultaneously failing to curtail our contribution to global CO2. To varying degrees, both major political parties are to blame. Losing coastal mansions is only the beginning and in the future, these same people may have legal recourse against irresponsible governments.

The fact is that it will cost us considerably less to reduce our CO2 emissions now than to adapt to the problems created by climate disruption in the future. Innovative and nimble?

Nowhere near!

Steve Hall, Cooroy.

Some work required ERIC Chapman (Noosa Today, 9 June) avoids responding to Joe Shlegeris’s key question (2 June) and that is why the current Member for Noosa, Glen Elmes, does not use his potential casting vote in State Parliament to benefit Noosa? Seems a fair question to me and not nasty at all.

Looking at the very thin achievements section of Glen’s website (nothing for this term, now 16 months old), he does not claim credit for any part in restoring Noosa’s own council as Eric does. However, he does claim that further work on Eumundi Noosa Road will “ ... commence early in 2015 ... ”.

But my calendar says we are now in June 2016 - need to do some work on that website, Glen! Don’t waste too much time on Facebook.

Noosa is an older demographic and we read the local paper.

LENSCAPE

STEVE Coell captured Noosa’s favourite marsupial in the Noosa National Park last week.

If you have a photo of Noosa’s landscape or wildlife you would like to share, email it to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au Further, Eric claims credit on Glen’s behalf for the many grants which flowed to Noosa sports clubs during the Newman Government’s term. But these all came from the Gambling Community Benefit Fund which Glen had no role in obtaining. That process simply follows an application from the sporting club itself. It is so automatic that the local MP is not even required to support the application with a reference.

So the questions remain, what has Glen been doing for the past 10 years that can he genuinely claim credit for and why won’t he vote for Noosa’s best interests in parliament?

Bruce Hallett, Tewantin.

party last in every how to vote recommendations they may make.

After this double dissolution election, it is important that the government has the numbers at a joint sitting of parliament to pass legislation that was rejected in the senate by the ALP and Greens and some cross-bench minor parties.

It is surprising that the ALP rejected that legislation for it must be horrendous for them to be dictated to by the extremists in unions such as the CMFEU. You could never be sure what Hanson would do.

John Andrews, Cooroy.

Behind schedule

Eternal vigilance

DESPITE council’s end of May financial report showing their capital works program is more than two months behind schedule, officials say they’re ‘on track’. While lagging with infrastructure improvements, this new council continues to promote and fund Noosa Biosphere Reserve projects instead of focusing on improving business prospects. Another worrying trend is the growing number of appeals before the Land and Environment Court.

Additionally, the electric bus and Kin Kin quarry sagas are a blight on the community and indicative of a council that I think is misguided and under- resourced.

John Lobb, Peregian Springs.

PM on show IT CLEARLY must have been a very successful visit to the Nambour Show for the Prime Minister.

Gone was the sniff of the Brough/ Slipper affair in Fisher and the introduction of the fresh legal eagle from the private sector Andrew Wallace. There are of course six “Independents” as well as the ALP and Greens standing in Fisher.

Virtually gone is the sitting member for Fairfax, Clive (what’s his name) to be replaced by Ted O’Brien. Ted was the man whom (what’s his name) defeated by 51 votes, using the support of the now State Speaker Peter Wellington, millions of dollars and ALP preferences.

Ted O’Brien has campaigned very well in the two-plus years since the last election and is regarded as almost a certainty. He has the support of the stronghold of State LNP members and together with a Turnbull Government they will get things done in Fairfax, Fisher, Longman and Wide Bay. All these candidates and members have a responsibility to continue the campaign to return a free enterprise government and defeat Shorten and his support for unsustainable populous proposals.

In Fairfax there are only five “Independents”. The last man on the ticket is a gentleman by the name of Pasquali whom I remember vividly as one of Pauline Hanson’s chief “henchmen” in Hanson’s defeat in 1988. To quote both the Prime Minister and John Howard “There is no place for One Nation on the Australian political scene." Although I am now not a member of any political party and have no influence I would hope that, (as in the ’80s,) all major parties and groups put Pauline Hanson’s

IN JANUARY this year when the first shots for election to the Noosa Council were being fired, I urged Noosa Today to be vigilant in not publishing letters from non-existent people, the so-called “phantoms.”

The Noosa community is blessed with and relies upon a discerning, competitive local press for much of its information about local matters and about issues of local importance.

It is imperative that the community can have faith in the fairness, accuracy, balance and integrity of what appears on its pages, particularly on political matters.

Accordingly, it is incumbent on that press to be ruthless in ensuring that the letters to the editor are not written by these “phantoms” often drawn from partisan supporters masquerading as thoughtful members of the community.

And so it is again. The response to Joe Shlegeris’s letter in Noosa Today (2 June 2016) from “phantom,” Eric Chapman, in Noosa Today (9 June 2016) should not have been published without the real author revealing who he is. All have an opinion worth being heard but please have the courage to stand up and be counted for it.

Sam Scanlon, Noosa Heads.

Who’s nasty now?

That letter expressed animosity toward me and suggested that my letter in the previous issue outlining aspects of Glen Elmes’s poor performance over 10 long years was “nasty.“ There is no telephone listing for Eric Chapman, and he is not on the electoral roll. I wonder who writes letters using that name.

Joe Shlegeris, Noosaville.

Editor’s note: The last two letter writers cast doubt on the validity of contributor 'Eric Chapman’.

Sadly, investigations this week by Noosa Today have not been able to establish his bona fides. Unlike many other media organisations, Noosa Today still insists on letter writers being named - to have the courage to stand by their convictions - and will only bow to nom de plumes in exceptional circumstances.

It is disappointing that 'Eric Chapman’ may have got under our guard, but we will continue to strive to make sure those using our well-read letters pages are open and honest when doing so and don’t hide behind their keyboards.

Politicians push the boat out

By JOLENE OGLE TWENTY-FIVE delegates from around the world gathered at Noosa Boathouse on Friday 10 June to celebrate the end of a week-long parliamentary seminar.

The delegates were parliamentarians and parliamentary staff from 13 Commonwealth countries including India, Cameroon, the United Kingdom and Canada, who had spent a week in Brisbane as part of the annual Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) seminar.

Now in its 27th year, the CPA seminar brings together parliamentarians from different parts of the world to discuss a wide range of issues, policies and procedures.

Along with Noosa MP Glen Elmes and Noosa Mayor Tony Wellington, Queensland Clerk of the Parliament Niel Laurie hosted the delegates and said it was great to bring everyone together to discuss issues from parliamentary procedure to ethics and transparency in parliament.

“One of the curious things that always arises with these types of events is while we are very different culturally, we do have a lot of similarities because we’re all based on Westminster type parliaments,” he said.

“Although we think ourselves very different, the issues are always the same no matter where you are in the world.

“Part of the whole seminar is how people are approaching problems or is-

sues in different ways. So we are learning from each other all the time.”

Quebec Canada delegate Robert Poeti said attending the CPA seminar is about working hard for their country’s citizens as well as having fun while sharing ideas and possible solutions.

“Anywhere there is the same politics in the world, we have the same problems,” he said.

“I’m not so surprised but for me when we find a solution for us, it could be good (for another country) and the other way back, too. If they find a solution it could be good for us.”

This is the first time Australia has hosted the CPA seminar and the first time the delegates have travelled to Noosa to take in the beautiful region.

Noosa MP Glen Elmes and Noosa Mayor Tony Wellington were among 25 delegates who gathered at Noosa Boathouse on Friday 10 June to celebrate the end of the 27th Commonwealth Parliamentary Association seminar.

CAN’T MAKE IT ON ELECTION DAY?

Noosa MP Glen Elmes has backed a cash for containers scheme in Queensland.

Riches in this rubbish

If you know you can’t vote on Saturday 2 July, you can vote early.

It’s amazing how powerful a piece of paper can be on election day.

If you are an Australian citizen aged 18 years or over, you are required by law to vote. So, if you’re unable to make it to a polling place on election day, you can vote early at an early voting centre or apply for a postal vote.

You can vote early if you are at work on Saturday 2 July, or will be outside the electorate where you are enrolled. There are other reasons you can vote early – visit www.aec.gov.au/early to find out more.

Your vote will help shape Australia.

THE LNP has the environment on their minds, committing to a policy that would address the many cans and bottles littering local land and waterways.

In what has been labelled great news for the environment, Noosa MP Glen Elmes said the LNP would introduce a Container Desposit Scheme (CDS) that would see consumers, businesses and charities in the Noosa electorate refunded 10 cents for aluminium, glass and plastic drink containers returned for recycling.

Mr Elmes said LNP’s plan would deliver a “great win” for the environment in Noosa resulting in less visual pollution and could create jobs in the recycling sector.

“The Noosa region is unique and with this benchmark policy from the LNP we can help keep the region litter free,” he said.

“Community groups in the Noosa electorate will have the opportunity to organise community clean-up events and cash in containers through the scheme to aid fund-raising efforts for other activities.”

Mr Elmes said it was estimated Queensland communities could claim over $25 million from deposits and handling fees and create hundreds of new jobs across the state in the recycling sector.

SEQ Catchments CEO Simon Warner said the container deposit scheme should create bipartisan support and show the community both sides of politics agree on important issues affecting the environment. noosatoday.com.au

Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort will be the first Sofitel resort in Australia and complement the existing Sofitel luxury hotels located in Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast and Brisbane, as well as the new-build Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour and Sofitel Adelaide expected to open in 2017 and 2018 respectively.

Chief operating officer AccorHotels Pacific Simon McGrath said the signing of Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort was a strategic addition to the company’s luxury portfolio.

Strong price for vacant land VACANT industrial land in a tightly held precinct at Noosaville has sold for almost $1.4 million.

The 3595 square metre site at lots 19-21 on the corner of Selkirk Drive and Lionel Donovan Drive, Noosaville, was sold to a local developer by Ray White Commercial Noosa and Sunshine Coast North’s Tracey Ryan, Paul Butler and Paul Forrest on behalf of a local owner.

Ms Ryan said the development site and sale price of $1,384,075 represented good value buying in comparison to the majority of industrial

land available for sale in the Noosa area.

“The site is situated in the popular Noosa Auto Park precinct,” Ms Ryan said.

“There are few development sites in Noosaville industrial area that offer the accessibility and profile provided by this site.”

Ms Ryan said the current owners had originally purchased the property for a prestigious motor vehicle showroom but the site has recently become surplus to their current business requirements.

This vacant block of land has just sold for over $1.3 million.

VOCAL powerhouse, Prinnie Stevens is to join Michael Falzon, Luke Kennedy and Rob Mills as special guest at this year’s Noosa Long Weekend Festival performances of Swing on This.

Prinnie, known for her knock out performances on the first season of The Voice, has had a lustrous international career and is heading to Noosa to wow audiences with her amazing vocals and outstanding talent.

Noosa Long Weekend director Ian Mackeller said he was thrilled to welcome even more talent to the annual event.

“We are thrilled to welcome Prinnie Stevens to this year’s festival, what a fantastic addition to the already phenomenal talent we will be hosting throughout this year’s festival,” he said.

Prinnie burst on to the scene at 17, performing in the Australian premiere of Rent: The Musical. From there she was in constant demand, performing in musical theatre in shows such as Leader of the Pack and Footloose.

It was her Helpmann nominated performance in Oh, What A Night! that took her to the next level – she was asked to move to New York and front an all-girl group for Sony Music.

While in New York, Prinnie learned her craft as a recording artist. She worked with Dallas Austin, Lashawn Daniels and the legendary Rodney Jerkins. She performed alongside Patti LaBelle, Chaka Khan, Mary J Blige and John Legend.

Despite this success, Australia kept calling and Prinnie returned to her homeland. She continued to work with the best Australian talents

Prinnie Stevens is heading to Noosa for a long weekend.

such as Guy Sebastian and Jessica Mauboy.

Prinnie chose to step out and try something new when she auditioned for The Voice. She could not have imagined the success of the show nor the opportunities that would arise having made the top four in Team Joel.

Since The Voice, Prinnie has had continued success. She teamed up with Mahalia Barnes to release an album of soulful duets. Prinnie + Mahalia: Come Together debuted at Number One on the R&B/Soul charts in October

through Universal Music.

In 2013, Prinnie signed to Universal Music as a solo artist and released single “Don’t wake me up”. The song was number one, added across the board to Australian radio and continued to have much success.

Catch Prinnie and all the action when the Noosa Long Weekend Festival takes over the region from 15 to 24 July. For full event details or to purchase tickets head to www.noosalongweekend.com.au

Lace up your skates as Noosa Civic turns on the winter magic these school holidays.

Opera’s favourite son is on song PASSION is set to soar at Noosa Federation of the Arts’ (NFA) Afternoon Delight where retired famous opera tenor Robin Donald Smith will regale the audience with tales of his famous father, Australia’s greatest operatic tenor, the late Donald Smith OBE. Hear spellbinding stories about opera duets the fatherand-son from Bundaberg performed and Robin’s struggle to assert himself as a worldrenowned tenor in his own right.

Donald and Robin made history as the first father-andson tenors to perform together in Wagner’s Opera, Der Fliegende Hollander (The Flying Dutchman), with the then Australian Opera Company, now Opera Australia.

Brace yourself for surprise bursts of song by Robin and, as rumoured, a duet with NFA’s artistic director Brad Jarrett, whose illustrious titles include former artistic administrator of Opera Queensland.

Robin will also speak candidly of his journey to find his

own voice by leaving Australia to forge a stellar international career with the Sadler’s Well Opera Company, now the English National Opera.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to get up close and personal with this exceptionally talented opera tenor. The event will take place on Friday 24 June from 2.30pm at a private residence in Noosa Heads. Book your seat by calling Joanne on 0447 280 521 or email treasurer@nfa. org.au. Tickets are $25 for members and $30 for guests.

Lingering in a hot shower When it’s 10 below outside, it’s tempting to turn your morning shower into a half-hour steam-a-thon. But after about 15 minutes, all that heat begins to compromise your skin’s lipid layer, a complex of fatty acids that holds in precious moisture.

Turn down the heat as much as you can – or at least shorten your shower time.

The wrong cleanser Since drying soap lather is even worse for your lipid barrier than hot water, avoid soap-based facial cleansers.

In the winter, when there isn’t as much moisture in the air, absolutely everyone needs a non-foaming cleanser.

Applying foundation to flaky skin No foundation, no matter how great the formula, looks good on dry skin – in fact, it will just highlight trouble. To keep the skin smooth, exfoliate regularly with a scrub and switch to a rich night cream.

Then choose a moisturising foundation with a dewy or satin finish – avoid anything powdery. Another great option is tinted moisturiser, because it’s so sheer and never looks caked-on.

The wrong lip balm It’s no secret that your lips get more chapped in the winter, but not all balms are created equal: the most important thing is to use one that is viscous, not waxy, so the ingredients penetrate fissures.

Skipping SPF The sun’s rays still exist in winter – your skin will still absorb them and be slowly damaged over time. To make sun protection easy, choose a daytime moisturiser with broad-spectrum protection and at least SPF 30.

Neglecting your hands Antibacterial hand soaps can be drying, use a mild, creamy one instead, rinse well with lukewarm water, and reapply hand cream every time. Once a week, rub cuticle oil into and around nails to keep them hydrated.

Rough feet Sandpaper feet don’t exactly say, “let’s cuddle”, not to mention that neglecting your feet all winter just makes it more difficult to whip them into shape for spring. Follow this foot-softening routine once a week: soak your feet in warm, soapy water for 15 minutes, then buff the soles with a foot file. To soften and help seal cracks, slick on an ointment then wear cotton socks while you sleep.

Be winter ready with these tips to great-looking skin.

Works hard while you rest

SPORTS & REMEDIAL MASSAGE Clint Smith has been a remedial / sports massage therapist in Noosa for over 20 years. He has worked with the Aust. Wallabies Rugby Union team , Olympic swimmers , and Tri-Athletes , Ironmen and women , and, more recently the Paralympic swimmers based at the Uni of the Sunshine coast in Sippy Downs. Clint blends a holistic approach to all of his clients, whether sports people or tired office workers or anyone for that matter who’s physical body is out of balance. Deep tissue therapy, myo-fascial release and acupressure / trigger point therapy are all combined with various relaxation techniques to relieve tight neck/shoulders , and/or painful lower/ back /hips legs .

Adding to his treatments , Clint has incorporated a multi-direction vibration plate to his business, similar to those used within the NRL for injury rehab , for improving muscle/soft tissue elasticity and/or strength/cardio workouts.

Sessions can be combined with massage or based on a weekly regime, tailored to the individuals circumstances and fitness levels. A twenty minute session is equivalent to a one hour gym workout!

NASA and the soviet union first created these “vibration plate� machines to help, restore and maintain health and fitness for astronauts whilst in space travels, due to massive physical challenges. They have been adapted in the last few decades for the health and fitness industry.

It’s time to dunk the junk THE Cancer Council is calling on Queenslanders to give up chips, chocolate and cream buns this month after new stats found 91 per cent of adults don’t eat enough vegetables for everyday health.

The latest Preventive Health Survey shows only nine per cent of Queensland adults eat the five recommended serves of vegetables every day.

Cancer Council Queensland spokesperson Katie Clift called on Queenslanders to overhaul their diets this month by participating in Australia’s healthiest new fund-raiser - Junk Free June.

“It’s time for all Queenslanders to ditch the

junk from their diets – sugary drinks, takeaway foods and snacks high in saturated fat, sugar and salt,” Ms Clift said.

“Often these discretionary foods make up a large portion of our everyday diet – and we forget to incorporate the recommended two serves of fruit and five serves of vegetables.

“The Junk Free June rules are simple – decide on a ‘junk food’ to give up, register online and get people to sponsor your efforts, raising funds for Cancer Council Queensland.

Ms Clift said the latest figures showed

Queenslanders were placing their health and happiness at risk by not eating enough nutritious foods to balance a healthy diet.

“We know up to a third of all cancers are preventable through simple lifestyle changes including maintaining a healthy weight, eating a healthy diet, limiting alcohol and being active.”

Queenslanders can register and start fundraising at junkfreejune.org.au or the Junk Free June app – handy hints are also available throughout the month.

Cancer Council hopes 5500 Queenslanders

sign up for the cause, raising more than $400,000 to help beat cancer.

Junk Free June offers prizes for participants – the more money Queenslanders raise for Cancer Council, the more prizes they unlock and gain access to.

All profits raised through Junk Free June will be invested into Cancer Council Queensland’s cancer research, patient support services and prevention campaigns.

More information about Cancer Council Queensland is available at cancerqld.org.au or 13 11 20.

Lower your risk of cancer and raise much-needed funds by giving up junk food this June.

Beat that Padre brew THE Padre Coffee Company is the epitome of coffee culture where the humble coffee bean is worshiped and caffeine taken seriously.

Padre Coffee was born in Melbourne in 2008 by two friends who roasted, brewed and sold specialty coffee under the one roof. Since then, the all-encompassing coffee company has expanded and set up shop in Noosa.

Inside the stylish warehouse in Noosaville, you’ll find an impressive showroom where Marinus Jansen, co-founder of Padre Coffee, personally roasts specialty blends through a 1923 antique roaster and offers training opportunities to budding baristas.

Whether you own a cafe or just love to wake up to great coffee at home, Padre Coffee has everything you need for the perfect cup including seasonal coffee blends, grinders, cleaning equipment and expert advice.

Lovers of coffee are spoilt for choice as they ponder over the extensive list of seasonal coffee blends such as the bright and sweet Hey Buddy Filter Blend or the dark and delicious Kenya Kiaguthu which can be enjoyed onsite or as a take away.

Padre Coffee not only strive to make the best blend possible, they

also endeavour to make your shopping experience as hassle free as possible.

Customers can sign up to a no fuss subscription service which guarantees freshly roasted coffee delivered right to your door, right when you want it.

Each fortnight, Padre’s head roaster will select the subscription coffees from the best beans available, roast them fresh and send them straight to your door. You can sign up at www.padrecoffee.com.au.

So what makes Padre Coffee stand out from the rest? According to Marinus, it’s as simple as hard work.

“Because we love our coffee so much, we can be very particular about the way it is produced, prepared and presented,” he said.

“We roast our coffee in small, loving batches; juggling time, temperature and air-flow to create a fulfilling flavour profile for each bean.

“You can’t reproduce what we do just by knowing what we do; it takes a lot of hard work and a lot of passion.”

The Padre team put endless time and energy into the curation of diverse and ever-changing premium single origin and blended coffee beans, which are sourced from trad-

Fresh is best: Padre Coffee co-founder Marinus Jansen roasts, brews and sells speciality coffee onsite at his Noosaville showroom.

ers and farmers all around the world who share a passion for quality as well as ethical and sustainable production.

“We believe in quality produce, sustainability, and in having strong relationships with the people we work with, which is why we take the time to make sure that even the tea, milk and chocolate that we use are premium local products made by thoughtful and engaged individuals,” Marinus said.

Good weather!

By JACK MANGROVE WHAT a week on the water!

Things have definitely improved after the weather event we had earlier in the month, it’s amazing how the changes in the weather affect the way the fish feed.

In the river, trevally of all varieties have been on the chew right through the lower estuary.

Woods Bays have been the prime spot with early morning and late afternoon really firing. Surface lures have been the way to go with both boater and land-based anglers cleaning up.

If you are fishing a popper give the Crystal Pops from Bassday in the 55mm a go, these are a sinking popper and will pop as well as streak under the surface on a fast retrieve and have that little extra cast weight.

After the sun goes down there is still plenty of action to be had with soft plastic also working extremely well.

Bream and whiting have also been in great numbers with the Dog Beach and Frying Pan fishing well for whiting while Gympie Terrace has been fishing well for bream.

Worms, prawns and white bait have been good on the bream, while worms and yabbies have been perfect on the whiting. Up river there have been plenty of smaller jew with the stretch from Tewantin up to the first lake prime territory. Live baits and larger paddle

vibe style lures have been responsible for some quality fish. Flathead are also in good numbers with the upper reaches of the river and Weyba Creek both hot spots.

Offshore, things have also been going off, for anglers in bigger craft, a trip to the outer reef was on the cards last Saturday and they were not disappointed.

On the Barwon Banks, anglers were bagging out on quality snapper between 4kg and 7kg, big pearl perch were also on offer, some great red emperor were also hitting the decks with the anglers that made their way to the reefs off Double Island.

A little closer to Noosa, most of the closer reefs also held some quality fish, Sunshine Reef was again performing with some smaller yet very tasty snapper, plenty of sweetlip and

COOROY GOLF THE Cooroy Golf Club recently held an open day for female players which has been deemed a great success.

Congratulations to Wendy, the Women’s Golf Director and her committee on a well-run Women’s Open Day on 7 June.

There were 112 women from a number of clubs as far away as Bribie Island and Tin Can Bay. The shot-gun start in perfect weather resulted in an excellent day of golf followed by a relaxed lunch together.

Thank you to all those who helped to organise the day, set up the clubhouse, provided morning tea and prizes for the raffle, sold tickets, checked cards and handicapped the event and provided assistance out on the course.

The club is noted for the support

it receives from its members and this was evident on the day.

Special thanks to President Rob Powell who acted as starter.

Sponsor Jacqui Kiel from Cooroy LiveLife Pharmacy presented Adina Watches to the nett winners in the three divisions, and Irene Lally presented the veterans’ trophies. Thank you ladies for your generosity.

It was a clean sweep for Cooroy as nett winners: Terri Cairns, Patsy Fayne and Mary Miller. Gross winners were Silvana Phillips (Noosa Springs), Colleen Mitchell (Caboolture) and Muriel Willett (Cooroy).

Veterans’ trophies went to Patsy Fayne (Cooroy) and Marie Young (Tin Can Bay).

Many thanks to the club's photographer, Bob Watson, for his time and expertise.

- Assunta Easton, Secretary, Cooroy Golf Club.

POMONA BOWLS WEDNESDAY turned on some gorgeous weather when the ladies hosted AusRoads sponsored mixed triples for club members.

There was a good attendance and the winners on a countback were Nancy Homer, Sharon Foale and Katie McInnes. Runners-up were Bettina Winkler, Gaye Bible and Glenn Johnson.

Thursday, under blue skies and almost like a summer’s day, the final round of the Handicap Singles was played.

Mel Hobbins was the overall winner with Keith Muir in second place. Lucky draw for players playing all rounds was Judith Muir. Thanks again to AusRoads for sponsoring this competition.

Friday evening, although the weather is getting cooler, a good roll-up of bowlers played under the glare of our flood lights. Winners were David Barnes and Linda McDougall with Gail Alford and Greg Hodder runners-up.

Sunday morning although the weather turned bleak, our ‘Mountain Men’ bowlers played the ’River Men’ (Tew-Nsa) bowlers at home. Although the team of Muir, Millar and Roebuck had a convincing win of 33-17, our ‘boys’ were defeated by 9 shots. Mountain Men now hold a half-way lead of 3 shots.

the odd jew.

There has been little or no run over the last week so anglers have also done well with micro jigs and soft plastic bait presentation.

On the beach, Noosa Northshore has some nice gutters at the moment and there are plenty of fish to target, in the closer gutter whiting are in good numbers with worms and pippies doing the job. Bigger bream and dart are also feeding in the same area and are happy to take any sort of flesh baits.

The odd larger tailor has come from the top end of North Shore towards Double Island with the night fish the best time. For those spending the night Jew are also on the menu.

So on behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures!

Great weather for mixed triples

Quiet achiever’s win Between the

flags RON LANE

IT IS that time of the year when we acknowledge those who have shown outstanding dedication and loyalty to their clubs.

They usually go about their duties quietly and with no fuss; these people are definitely the backbone of our organization. Solid and always there.

One such man is Sunshine Beach Patrol Captain David Woithe.

Described by his club president Craig Law as a quite achiever, he has given 13 years of service to his club.

In public acknowledgement, on Monday evening at the Noosa Convention Centre he received the Queensland Day Award for services to lifesaving. Congratulations from all.

With the Molokai 2 Oahu World Paddle Championship fast approaching, Noosa’s Jordan Mercer, who has won the championship an incredible five times, is well and truly back in training.

On Saturday morning, accompanied by several of her Noosa club mates and under the supervision of her father and coach Darren, working from a support boat, Jordan left the beach at the Mooloolaba Surf Club at 7am for a board paddle back to Noosa.

Paddling next to Jordan for the full session was her club mate and fellow endurance paddler Lachlan Lansdown.

For Lachlan his goal is twofold.

First, to again compete in the

2016 Queensland Day Award Winner David Woithe and Sunshine Beach SLSC president Craig Law. Molokai race and then in August the Catalina Classic off the coast of California. Both races are over a distance of 52km.

“It is a good training course,” said Darren.

“The distance is just under 40km and they finish in about three hours.

“The sea conditions were flat so that makes it a bit tougher.

There were no swells, so they could not pick up a runner to help make things easy.”

Also in the group were the Williams brothers, Bailey and Cooper.

It was these two young Noosa

lifesavers who last season made a big impression by winning a total of 18 medals competing at state and national level.

Add to the list of achievements, Cooper was also awarded the Peter Lacey Medal by the Carbine Club of Queensland as the most outstanding U/17 Queensland competitor of the year.

Another young member to take advantage of this tough course was 16-year-old Grace Kaihau, also a medal winner at the national titles.

At this year’s titles Noosa competitors made club history when, for the first time ever, they made the finals in both the ladies’ and

the men’s open Taplin relay.

Interesting to note that the two girls and the three boys taking part in this endurance training paddle were members of their respective Taplin teams that created club history.

To be still performing tough training routines after a heavy summer of competition speaks volumes for the character of our young people.

In support of the paddlers were Paul Peterson and Paul Matters duty boat, which was responsible for all aspects of safety, and fellow master ski people Doug Ripper, Rob Harney and Andy Pannifex.

For Lachlan, who works as a lifeguard, the surf is definitely a family affair with both parents and a sister serving as patrolling members in Noosa.

Lachlan is also one of the original helpers to work with the Seahorses nippers, an achievement of which his club is very proud.

Saturday evening for the Maroochydore Surf Life Saving Club was indeed the night to remember.

Not only did members celebrate their Centenary of Service as lifesavers to the community of Maroochydore, but at the same time they took the occasion to acknowledge the continued and outstanding contribution to club and community of Life Member Ralph Devlin.

After 45 years of service, Ralph was elevated to the position of Life Governor, a title that is awarded by the Life Members of the club.

It was only fitting that the president of Surf Life Saving Australia, Graham Ford, was in attendance to witness the presentation of this honour.

Club shines in rescue championships

By DEB COURT LAST weekend the Sunshine Coast championships were held at Kawana Aquatic centre, and Sunshine Beach SLSC entered a team of about 30 nippers and cadets in the U11-U19 age groups.

With a variety of events including patient tow, manikin tow and carry, obstacle race and medley relays, the pool rescue championships are designed to improve stillwater

rescue abilities of the club junior lifesavers.

The Sunshine Beach team again showed they are not just a competitive team in beach and ocean events, but also a formidable force in the pool as well.

Highlights included club U11 boys finishing first and second in all individual and team events, a large contingent of club U12 girls managing to fill most of the top eight places in all races and

club U19 boys Nick Sloman and Jarrad Greentree finishing first and second in all their events.

Nick Hooper (U12) and Ruby Nolan (U14) also won individual events, and great efforts from all age groups were a highlight. The Sunshine Beach pool rescue team now moves onto the Gold Coast and Queensland Championships in late June.

LAST Saturday saw the Noosa Pirates travel to Beerwah for their highly anticipated clash with Maroochydoore. A win for the Pirates was essential in their quest to play finals football.

The game started well in the Pirates’ favour as centre Aaron Locke scored after just three minutes of play. Goal-kicking supremo Lauchie Gladman continued on his red-hot kicking streak as the Pirates led six points to nil.

When player-coach Scott Christensen scored twice in quick succession the Pirates led by 16 points and a drubbing was on the cards.

To their credit Maroochydoore struck back to cut in to the Pirates’ lead and at half time the Pirates led 16 points to four.

Early in the second half full back Ben Hayes scored as the lead extended to 18 points. A minor hiccup saw Maroochydoore score again to send a scare through the Pirates’ camp.

This mini-comeback was handled with disdain as the Pirates hit top gear in the last 12 minutes of play scoring three tries to run away victorious by 40 points to 10.

Second rower Alex Clare got in on the tryscoring act going over twice before Aaron Locke scored his second right on the full-time siren.

A satisfying performance against an opposition four spots higher on the ladder - each week sees renewed hope for September action.

On Friday night, the under-18s travel to Caboolture to take on the Snakes in a must-win game to cement their position in the top two.

The boys didn’t let their band of supporters down with a fantastic team performance to defeat their bigger and stronger opponents by a score of 34 points to 10.

Coach Mark Trevanion could not contain his delight in the victory and with valuable support from club coach Craig Keen, The boys seem set for a great season provided they do the hard work and maintain their discipline.

This week, the under-18s will travel to Coolum on Friday 17 June to take on Beechmere. A rugged test for the boys who would need to be at their best to come away winners.

Saturday afternoon sees the Noosa Pirates travel South to take on Caboolture 1 in what should be one for the ages. With the possible return of key players from injury, selection could be a headache for the coach.

On a sad note, it is with much regret that Pirate Jayden Summers has succumbed to injury and has retired. A Pirate since he was a toddler, Jayden started playing in the under-7s and played right through until a couple of weeks ago where he suffered horrific injuries after a tackle went wrong.

At the advice from his surgeon who put three plates and twelve screws into Jayden’s jaw, he made the hard decision to hang up the jersey at the tender age of 21.

Respected by team-mates and opposition alike for his no nonsense approach, Jayden will be deeply missed.

Gold - it doesn’t get any better!

By RON LANE FOR the second time in just four weeks, Taylah Robertson of the Impact Boxing Academy Cooroy, has won a major championship.

Three weeks ago while representing Queensland in the Australian Youth Championship, 57kg division (on the Gold Coast) she won the gold medal. Now she has gone one better.

On Friday evening, boxing in the International Black Diamond Tournament, in Poland Europe, she won the gold medal by outpointing her opponent representing Germany.

Since arriving in Poland two weeks ago, this young lady had three fights for three wins. Considering that this was her first time competing in what is referred to as the Elite Division, achieving such results at international level, is truly outstanding.

Following a recent training session back home at the Impact gym, coach Mark Evans told her, “It is about time you started believing in yourself.” Obviously, she listened.

Shortly after Taylah's win, Brock Shelby, also of the Impact Boxing Academy, made it a double for Queensland when he too won the gold medal.

Boxing in the 92kg division, Brock's win came via a sensational knockout of his European opponent in round one.

“I think he was pretty fired up,” Evans said. “After the rough house tactics he copped in an earlier fight he was in no mood to cop it again. He went in fully determined, and cut loose.”

To think that two of our local boxers fighting for Queensland at an international tournament against the best in Europe are com-

Ella Boot holding her trophy from her win at Nerang.

ing home with gold medals is something we should be shouting from the roof tops. It just doesn’t get any better.

Last weekend four of the youth division of the Impact club travelled to Nerang to take part in a local tournament. Unfortunately two were unable to be matched up with an opponent but Cullen Allman and Ella Boot were matched - with Cullen losing on a split decision and Ella boxing in the novice division winning on points.

The boxing calendar tells us that this weekend, 17 to 18 June, Mackay will host the North Queensland vs Southern Queensland tournament and 29 July will be the State of Origin in Sydney; Qld vs NSW. Three members of the Impact Academy will box on the Queensland team. We wish them well.

Next major date on the calendar will be the 25 to 28 August for the Australian Golden Gloves. Then in early October Brock and Coach Mark will travel to Tahiti for another international tournament.

Ireland will host a tournament in September and this will be followed by the World Youth Championships to be hosted by Russia in late October.

Members of the Impact Academy will definitely be eligible for selection.

For Israel Kani, his Noosa Box Office squad - now built up to 18 registered fighters - will have eight contesting the Novice Championships 8 to 10 July at Acacia Ridge; followed by a Masters on the Gold Coast in which five will take part. We wish all our athletes the very best.

NOOSA TODAY & SANDCASTLES NOOSA PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD

Tigers down but gallant in defeat.

The Rococos Bistro Noosa Tigers were overran late against arch rivals Maroochydore last Saturday at Wises Road. With both sides missing key personnel and the late withdrawal of cham-

pion rover Caleb Isles due to an ankle complaint, once again it was the fast finishing Roos who inflicted a 25 point victory upon the Tigers stretching their winning sequence to four in the past two years. However a cracking game of local footy highlighted by the performances of three exAfl players who really stood up in front of a very strong crowd.

Brent ‘Beamer’ Moloney was simply awesome for the Tigers, in particular early and finished

Rococos Mark & Goal of the Year ROUND 8 GOAL OF THE GAME: Brent Moloney slots a 60 metre goal in the irst quarter. 9/10 ROUND 8 MARK OF THE GAME: Adam Curry in only his second senior game demonstrated his aerial skills. 7/10

service in the loss and although we never like to lose to our arch rivals I’m sure the Tiger faithful were not let down by the effort. Noosa sit third on the AFLQ North ladder with a very important home game against the young and exuberant Moreton Bay this Saturday. See you there.

Go Tigers!

Cheers, Pittsy

It’s all about Angel I state only nearly because the input this bloke has made at the tigers should not be understated. Angel is a Tiger junior where the twin, Evil, could only be separated by the fact that on game day he kicked with his left foot.

He was a standout junior also and was an integral member of the Tigers first U18 premiership coached by the late Wayne Dover back in 1998.

His senior career began the same year and 18 years on the old man river continues to compete the way he has always.

His competitiveness is his greatest strength. Angel had always hated losing and in particular letting an opponent beat him.

While his footy smarts and skill level were always first class, it was his will to get himself into the contest that has made him such a champion for almost two decades.

Of course the fact Angel is a top bloke who loves a good time doesn’t hurt his

cause either. This writer had the pleasure of playing alongside Angel up forward for several years and even then his competitiveness to outscore even his own teammate was mind boggling.

As mentioned earlier, Angel won the leading goal kicking three times with only one individual ahead of him (me), but in all serious Angel duke was one of the most dominant players in the Pineapple Hotel Cup during the 2000’s and still today in the last month or so has shown just why so many of his peers rate this bloke so highly.

Do yourself a favour and get down to Weyba Rd and help celebrate this champion Tiger’s 250th game as the Tigers face a must-win match against Moreton Bay. Well done from everyone at the Tigers, Angel. No doubt the Noosa boys will lift for you on Saturday.

with a heap of possessions and four goals whilst fellow ex-Afl Lion Bushy Copeland again did not disappoint. Ex-Afl Swan premiership player Paul Bevan kicked five goals for Maroochydore to probably be the difference between the two teams in the end. What a great spectacle for local Afl fans to have such quality running around on the Coast. Experienced guns Nick Hill as usual and Shane Dogga Davis also gave the side terrific

Not much to say this week. We were embarrassing. Our worst team performance for the year. Four players went up to seniors, two had work and three are injured, which means having nine of our best out makes it hard any week but specially against what we think is the best team in the competition, Maroochydore. Tom McKittrick, Garry Wallace and Jake Fulton played great. Those three are senior players week in week out coming back from injury or been away. These are not excuses why we played like we did. We will bounce back very hard this week.

Danny O’Brien

JUNE 18 - David Dench

Played his whole AFL career with North Melbourne Football Club at one of its most successful periods.

Dench played full-back. Dench won the North Melbourne club’s best and fairest award, the Syd Barker Medal, on four occasions - 1971, 1976, 1977 and 1981. David Dench was one of the youngest captains appointed in the club’s history. He also captained the 1977 premiership team.

JUNE 25 - Peter Moore

Played for Collingwood and Melbourne.

A tall, agile ruckman with good ball skills, Moore is one of only five men to have won Brownlow Medals at different clubs - Collingwood in 1979 and Melbourne in 1984.

Winner of the Copeland Trophy in 1979 and 1980 and captain of Collingwood from 1981 to 1982, Moore was inducted into the Collingwood Hall of Fame before being transferred to the Melbourne Football Club.

In 2005 Moore was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.

LOCK up your grannies, the wrecks are back!

The dramatic East Coast Low swell event may have just about run its race by last weekend, but there was still enough puff in it to provide fun little peelers for the annual Wrecks and Relics seniors surfing soiree.

The French term “soiree” usually applies to an event held in the evening, but here it applies to the fact that we competitors are all in the evening of our surfing lives, and so every wave counts. That’s the spirit that the Winters and the Cuddihies brought to it when they created it for the Noosa Malibu Club a dozen years ago, and it’s still the spirit today.

Ancient surfers come from far and near for the Wrecks, to catch up with old mates and beat the crap out of them in their heat. That’s the spirit I’m talking about! Settle a few old scores and then laugh about it over a few beers. And believe me, just because surfers get old doesn’t mean they get any less competitive. I think that’s a good thing. They day we’re all sitting in the line-up saying, “No, you go” or “Please, after you, I had a wave earlier in the heat”, is the day it’s time to get out the slippers and the crossword and head for the couch while your soft food simmers in the kitchen.

A couple of years back we used to throw the over-70s out for a few laughs while we got ready for the pressos on the beach, but now the Baby Boomers have caught up with the most senior division it’s a different story. The quality of surfing was right up there, with 1963 Bells Beach Classic champion Dougy Andrew taking out the trophy while Rip Curl co-founder Doug “Claw” Warbrick won the plate final. (Claw needs a plate for his beachfront mansion like a fish needs a bicycle, but there you go.)

It’s hard to comprehend that many of the competitors in the youngest division, the over-50s, were not even born when Dougy was the best surfer in Australia after Midget Farrelly, and he’s still stylin’. As is my good mate Big Dave Wilson, who was Mr Gordon and Smith when I first met him in the 1960s, and has spent a rich life building boards, chasing waves and raising a family. Dave got pipped in the over-65s by the evergreen Eric Walker from Ballina, but for my money Dave still has the prettiest drop-knee in the business.

There were many other standout surfers over a weekend of ankle to waist high trimmers, but special mention must go to Mal Club president Glen Gower who until very recently thought a longboard was his six-two, but who has adapted fairly quickly and took out the juniors quite convincingly. And another special mention to all the girls who surfed so well in the over 50s and over 60s divisions, and cut a fine figure in their new Finch one-pieces.

A sabbatical for Molly’s Song NO-ONE has worked harder in our community in recent years to raise awareness about dementia than Libby Day, who established an organisation called Molly’s Song in memory of her mother seven years ago. Over these past seven years Libby has raised more than $40,000 for the Alzheimer’s Australia Dementia Research Foundation to help combat this dreadful scourge that is likely to touch us all, if it hasn’t already.

Whether it’s getting big name artists to stage a charity concert, working with the Noosa Arts Theatre or taking on a marathon bike ride, Libby has been prepared to give it her all for this cause, often single-handedly.

But it’s time for a tree change, and Libby and husband Greg are heading for rural Victoria to be closer to family. Molly’s Song will take a well-earned rest, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear more from this energetic, giving lady. Thanks for all the hard work, Libby, and yes, see you 'round the ridges.

FOOTNOTE: This week also saw the centenary of my father’s birth. Dad only made it three quarters of the way, but he’s always in our hearts.

Happy hundred, old mate.

Sunrise at Sunshine... social media was awash with spectacular images of the East Coast Low last week, but few were as beautifully presented as Noosa lensman Greg Huglin’s video clip “Sunrise at Sunshine”. The former Santa Barbara-based veteran has been churning out incredible imagery for yonks, so we shouldn’t be surprised, but feast your eyes on these screen caps from a 12-second Dean Brady barrel that had the crowd hooting from Hippies to the surf club and beyond. You can find the clip on Youtube. It’s brilliant!

Sports’ fresh fields sport LOCAL cricketers took guard for the first time last Friday at the new Coolum Sports Complex and were bowled over by the major upgrades to the facility.

Acting Sunshine Coast mayor Tim Dwyer said the upgrade increased sporting opportunities for the Coolum community.

“The council has worked with the State Government on this $2.4 million expansion as part of the council’s Coolum Sports Complex Masterplan,” Cr Dwyer said.

“This upgrade was jointly funded by council and the Queensland Governments department of National Parks, Recreation, Sporting and Racing ‘Get Playing Plus’ program.”

Division 9 councillor Steve Robinson joined Murrumba MP Chris Whiting and the Coolum Cricket Club to officially open the new field and facilities today.

“The new multi-use field caters for a variety of sports, including junior cricket and soccer, and the local clubs are very excited to have such a great facility here in Coolum,” Cr Robinson said.

“As well as the new field, which has a synthetic turf cricket pitch with a junior boundary, the expansion includes a training area, 78 car parks with LED lighting, pathways, field lighting and shade trees.

“We have also recently completed work on a new amenities block, which includes storage space for the clubs and an undercover viewing area.

“This project also uses smart city lighting, which allows individual clubs to control field lighting through their smartphones.

“Providing quality sporting facilities helps council foster vibrant, active communities and achieve its goal of becoming Australia’s most sustainable region.”

Abbey Morcom receiving a cheque from Tewantin Noosa RSL director Bruce Huntington.

Gift helps keep good sport on the ball LOCAL netball player Abbey Morcom is one talented individual, having been selected to play in numerous teams throughout the year.

While juggling school, study, family and friends, Abbey has also been selected to represent the Budgies Australian Indigenous Schoolgirls netball team at the Gold Coast Netball Carnival in July, compete in the Coolum state team, and represent the Queensland Indigenous netball team in Fiji this September.

Abbey started playing netball in 2013 and will be busy in the lead up to her competitions as she noosatoday.com.au

already plays as part of the Good Shepherd College netball team as well as a team in Coolum.

Having previously represented the Budgies National Indigenous Team in 2014, Abbey is well aware of the cost associated with competitive netball but the Tewantin Noosa RSL and Citizens Memorial Club were keen to help out the budding netball star.

The club was overjoyed at the prospect of sponsoring Abbey with a $500 donation to assist towards these costs and members look forward to watching her achievements over the coming months.

THE Cooroy Dolphins Swimming Club was widely represented last weekend at the competitive Noosa Winter Festival - with every Cooroy Dolphin Swimmer placing in their respective age groups.

Not only did the kids smash it but so did the Cooroy Dolphins parents.

Results included Ethan Druce who took out first place in the 1km swim, Lachlan Reading who came second.

Tess Davies placed second in the girls 1km swim, while Georgia Reading came third.

Juanita Druce took second place in the 500m swim, Zac Price came second in the 1km swim for boys aged 11-12 and Grant Davies represented the dads, while Jess Askew, Georgina Price, Everlyn Druce and Liia Davies represented the mums.

Dolphins head coach Andrew Cowan said the kids had been putting in a lot of hard work and commitment into their swimming.

“With the start of the winter swimming carnival season approaching the kids are in great shape for fantastic results throughout this season,” he said.

“The club has been in a growing phase the past 12 months or so, so it is great to see all the hard work paying off and the kids relishing in the results.

“I am really happy with their results and also really proud of our club and the participation we have seen not only from the kids but parents as well.”

Winner of the 13-15 year boys 1km race Ethan Druce said he really enjoy swimming and loved being motivated by the head coach.

“Andrew always finds a way to motivate me to give that extra bit in training. I am really happy with my swim, it was a PB for me. All of those hard sets are paying off,” he said.

The Cooroy Pool is open to the public and caters for all ages and abilities.
