Heart-warming gesture

By MEGAN OGLE A LOCAL business is calling on the community to help keep those less fortunate a little warmer this winter.

As cooler weather hits Noosa, Tewantin firm Drysdale Funerals and the Salvation Army are urging locals to donate blankets to families in need.

Drysdale Funerals staff member Christine Sterlson said blankets of all sizes were greatly accepted, right down to baby blankets and knee rugs.

“At the end of July we will donate the blankets to the Salvation Army who will then

distribute them to people in need.”

Ms Sterlson said the local community had already donated over 100 blankets, with a further 100 coming from a resort in Caloundra.

“We match the blankets one for one, so at the moment we have over 400 blankets to donate, but we still need more,” she said.

“The local community was great last year when we launched the appeal, but this year they have been fantastic.”

If you would like to donate a blanket drop by Drysdale Funerals, 27 Butler Street, Tewantin, during business hours or call 5449 9383.

Dingo whodunnit

By MEGAN OGLE SIX dingoes found dead on Fraser Island have all shown signs consistent with poisoning.

National Parks Minister Dr Steven Miles said the results of toxicology testing had not yet been received, but preliminary necropsy reports pointed to all of the animals suffering the same symptoms which led to their deaths.

“These symptoms were consistent with 1080 poisoning but we

will not know for certain until the toxicology results are received,” Dr Miles said.

“The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service will pursue all avenues in this investigation to establish just what has happened and who is behind these killings.

“Any individuals found to be involved can expect to be pursued to the maximum extent possible under the law.”

Dr Miles said the carcasses of six dingoes were recovered from the Orchid Beach area of Fraser Island

after reports of deceased dingoes were first received on Friday (17 June).

One of the animals had been buried in a shallow grave.

A spokesperson for advocacy group Save Fraser Island Dingoes (SFID) said news of the poisoning was distressing, but not surprising.

“SFID has been receiving reports of pups being destroyed in dens and animals being poisoned in this area for years,” they said.

“It is hard to comprehend that

anyone on the Island would resort to destroying the wildlife that most of us cherish, but the fact is there are still those who hold the view that the only good dingo is a dead dingo.

“It is time for a full and complete investigation into the poisoning of animals at Orchid Beach and for those who have information to have the courage and conscience to speak up.”

The maximum penalty for killing dingoes in a protected area is $353,400 or two years in jail but in this case other penalties could po-

tentially apply.

The use of 1080 bait is registered in Queensland for the control of wild dogs, feral pigs, rabbits and foxes, but a Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service spokesperson said the bait was not used on Fraser Island.

Safe births a family affair THREE local sisters are rallying together to make safe births a family affair.

Motivated by their own experiences, Natasha Myers, Melissa Shulze and Melinda Shulze have joined forces to support mothers-to-be in remote Ethiopia to have safe and healthy births.

“At the young age of 16, I became a mother of a beautiful baby boy.

Luckily, I live in Australia where I have access to doctors, midwives, hospitals, ambulances, blood transfusions, medicines and lots of support,” Melissa said.

“But my heart goes out to these young mothers in Ethiopia who suffer through dangerous childbirth alone, in excruciating pain and with no help. I cannot imagine a place without any available doctors, midwives, hospitals, medicines and transport.”

The local sisters intend to raise funds for a charity in Ethiopia, The Hamlin Fistula charity, which helps women to give birth safely and also works to eradicate a common birth injury.

“Fistula is the medical term for a particular birth injury where there is a hole between the bladder and the

birth canal and sometimes even a second hole into the bowel,” Natasha said.

“It is the common outcome of prolonged, obstructed labour which causes permanent internal damage and incontinence. The consequences for the women are horrendous; they often become social outcasts and are forced to live in huts some distance from their families.

“Their suffering is lifelong if left untreated, and the shame of their condition and the lack of any hope of living a normal life can lead many to despair.”

The Hamlin Fistula charity was founded by Dr Catherine Hamlin and has delivered free surgical treatment to over 45,000 women in Ethiopia.

The sisters are busy raising $15,000, a required donation for anyone who wishes to visit the charity, through crowdfunding and a community charity auction so that Melissa and Natasha can visit the charity in November.

“We are hosting a free community charity auction at the Tewantin Noosa Cricket Club grounds on Saturday 9 July from 10am until midday,” Melissa said.

“There will be a lot of family fun including a barbecue, fairy floss, face painting, jumping castle, coffee van, African bazaar, lucky door prizes, raffles, silent auctions and more.

Pan council support for marriage equality

By MEGAN OGLE THE Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) has passed a motion, calling on the Federal Government to legalise same-sex marriage.

The motion was introduced at ALGA’s National General Assembly

by Darwin’s Lord Mayor Katrina Fong Lim and Geelong councillor Jan Farrell on Wednesday 22 June.

Calling on the government to update the Marriage Act to achieve marriage equality, the motion highlighted the need for same-sex attracted people in Australia to be respected.

“This National General Assembly calls on the Federal Government to treat with dignity and respect all members of the community regardless of gender or sexuality by supporting changes to the Marriage Act to achieve marriage equality for

Equality advocate Robin Bristow and Geelong councillor Jan Farrell. same sex couples,” the motion read.

The ALGA is the national voice of Australia’s local government, representing 560 councils across the country.

Community advocates have welcomed the passing of the motion, including local equality advocate and Queensland Senate Candidate for the Australian Sex Party Robin Bristow.

“The Australian LGBTI community has wit-

nessed the results of homophobia and intolerance in the shocking events that happened recently in Orlando, Florida. Some members of our community are now living in genuine fear since this event,” he said.

“We therefore welcome this announcement from the ALGA for their support for marriage equality.”

Although Noosa Council was not part of the motion, Mayor Tony Wellington said the coun-

cil agreed with ALGA’s decision to support marriage equality.

“Our collective support for ALGA’s intentions concurs with our desire for a tolerant community that shuns discrimination on the basis of gender, sexuality, age, ability, race or religion,” he said.

If Australia’s current government is re-elected on 2 July, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has committed to holding a plebiscite on marriage equality, a vote Mr Bristow says is unnecessary.

“It is our concern is that the hate mongers and bigots will come out in force during the proposed plebiscite on marriage equality,” he said.

“We know the majority of Australians support marriage equality and we call on the Turnbull government to abandon this unnecessary and divisive plebiscite and give us marriage equality now.”

All funds raised at the auction

will go towards the charity.

While Natasha is able to self-fund the additional travel costs, Melissa will aim to raise an additional $8000 via local crowdfunding site www. unityaid.com.

Transport woes aired for Kin Kin THE consultation period has closed for the Noosa Transport Plan, but Kin Kin residents want to make sure their demands for a public bus service are heard.

Kin Kin resident and mother-offour Anita Poteri said it was ridiculous the hinterland region had such a poor public transport system.

“We are expected to pay the transport levy like everyone else is the shire, so why don’t we have transport services?” she said.

Ms Poteri said only the school buses currently came to Kin Kin with her children expected to travel to Cooroy or Pomona to catch a bus into Noosa or elsewhere, with the issue made worse during school holidays and public holidays when no buses serviced the area.

“It can be hard to constantly ferry children to and from Cooroy because there is no public transport service in Kin Kin,” she said.

“There are a lot of teenagers in Kin Kin, as well as pensioners and retirees who need to access public transport.

The residents out here are very envi-

ronmentally conscious, so even those with cars will want to use the service.”

Ms Poteri said she had proposed two routes that would service residents along McKinnon Drive, Kin Kin, Boreen Point and all areas in between, and suggested there be a morning service and one in the afternoon.

“The council has spent lots of money sealing Dr Pages Road, so why not use it to help local residents get around,” she said.

Noosa Council’s Planning and Infrastructure director Martin Drydale said hinterland transport was on the council’s agenda, but the final decision rested with the transport company.

“Council is currently consulting with the community to develop a new Transport Plan for the shire, which will consider hinterland public transport needs, among a range of issues,” Mr Drydale said.

“Council can make recommendations and requests with regards to local public transport routes and services, however the final decision is TransLink’s.”

Fishing debate hits stormy waters

INBRIEF Lock up

By MEGAN OGLE LABOR candidate for Wide Bay Lucy Stanton has hit out at commercial fishermen after a heated confrontation on Noosa’s North Shore.

Flanked by local media, Ms Stanton confronted local fishermen on Friday 24 June over concerns for the environment and “lawless” behaviour, making claims of illegal camping and unlawful firing of weapons by commercial fishermen.

“As the mullet netting season on Noosa North Shore has gotten underway, I have been made aware of lawless behaviour going on and a worrying disrespect for this region’s beautiful environment,” Ms Stanton said.

“Residents have reported automatic gunfire at night during this latest episode of worrying behaviour on the part of (commercial fishermen).

“Their actions are having the effect of scaring away the public from observing what they are doing on Noosa North Shore.

“A number of reports have reached me of the commercial netters camping illegally on Noosa North Shore for all of this month.

“Their complete disregard for regulations is a serious concern for all of us. As far as these netters are concerned, this is their beach, their resource and they answer to no one.”

Retired local fourth generation commercial fisher Trevor Clarey responded to Ms Stanton’s claims, saying they were “ridiculous”.

“Ms Stanton should have come to speak with us before taking the media to the beach and publicly making these claims,” Mr Clarey said.

“The owning and using of weapons

POLICE are once again reminding Noosa residents and visitors to lock their cars and homes to keep their valuables safe.

Noosa Heads officer in charge Senior Sergeant Steve McReight said the current cold weather and rain could lead to a decrease in crime, but people need to stay vigilant to deter opportunistic thieves.

“It’s as simple as locking your car and locking your front door,” he said.

“Lock it or lose it.”

Safe driving

Lucy Stanton, flanked by media, confronts commercial fishermen regarding illegal camping along the Noosa North Shore. is unlawful, and has been since the introduction of gun control. If it is commercial fishermen, then they should be prosecuted by law for owning and using the weapon. I’m not defending them, should that have happened over there, but it’s absolutely unlikely.

“They will be wanting to do this every winter, because it’s good fishing there, so they’re not going to do anything to jeopardise that.”

Mr Clarey said claims made by Ms Stanton that ice was not available on the beach for the freshly caught seafood were “rubbish”.

“If you go to the carpark at the first cutting, then you’ll see the big trucks are there loaded with ice,” Mr Clarey said.

“If fishermen don’t take care of their product, they won’t be able to sell it. We’re business people; we want the best price for our product.”

Mr Clarey said banning commercial fishing isn’t the answer, but more regulations are needed along Noosa North Shore.

“For a very long time, the fishery has had its problems over there, and it

always will when local fishermen are not over there,“ Mr Clarey said.

“I have pushed until I’m blue in the face when it’s only local, rate-paying residents of Noosa Shire, who can obtain a permit to work on the beach over there.

“Our problem is it’s Main Roads who control Noosa North Shore, and that’s our problem to getting the restriction like all other beaches.”

“We do want better management over there, to close it off is a nonsense.”

MOTORISTS are being urged to “keep their brain in gear” when driving during the school holidays.

Sen Sgt McReight said it is easy to relax when on holidays and not pay attention to the road.

“Remember to keep your brain in gear,” he said, “and take it easy on the roads.”

Police are also asking locals to be patient with out-of-town drivers who may not be used to roundabouts.

“Be patient and show a little compassion for drivers who may not be used to our roads,” he said.

Police will also continue joint traffic operations on Teewah Beach throughout the holidays to enforce the road rules and prevent drink or drug driving along the North Shore.

Noosa global heritage NOOSA Mayor Tony Wellington has welcomed a State Government initiative that could finally see parts of Noosa Shire inscribed on the World Heritage List.

The Queensland Government has committed $2.2 million in funding over three years to progress World Heritage nominations for an expanded Fraser Island World Heritage area to include Cooloola, and also parts of Cape York Peninsula.

“As council understands it, this will likely include the Great Sandy Strait, the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park, the Noosa River system north of Tewantin plus all publicly owned land on Noosa North Shore,” Cr Wellington said

adding that privately owned land will not be included, unless requested by the property owner.

Minister for Environment and Heritage Protection Dr Steven Miles said Cooloola should be recognised for its “outstanding universal value”.

“The World Heritage listing would give the Cooloola region international recognition, while providing greater protection,” Dr Miles said.

“The Cooloola area shares many of the same outstanding values as neighbouring Fraser Island, which was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1992.

“We will be continuing the work

that was undertaken in 2010-'11 after the proposed extension was placed on the World Heritage Tentative List including seeking further community input into the proposed extension.

“The government will work with traditional owner groups to establish a process for consent and to inform the nomination dossier that will be presented to the World Heritage Committee for consideration.

“The proposed extension better presents the full extent of the world’s oldest and most complete coastal dune systems and will give the region the international recognition and protection it deserves.”

The Cooloola or mainland sec-

tion of the park has been earmarked for World Heritage listing for some time. Indeed, local conservationists, most particularly the Noosa Parks Association, have, for decades, been advocating World Heritage listing and protection of Cooloola.

“That advocacy is now bearing fruit, with both the Australian and Queensland governments in the process of developing submissions for World Heritage listing,” Cr Wellington said.

“I support moves to secure World Heritage listing for Cooloola and surrounds, including land that falls within Noosa’s local government area,” Cr Wellington said.

“World Heritage listing will be an important acknowledgement of the heritage and iconic natural values of this region, an added drawcard for tourists and scientists, and another feather in the cap for our local conservation movement.

“The geological significance of The Great Sandy region cannot be overstated. As well as being the largest vegetated sand mass in the world, it is also host to half the world’s perched lakes, and the only global occurrence of rainforest growing on high dunes. It is also of significant historical and cultural value having been occupied by Aboriginal people for at least 55,000 years.”

FEDERALELECTION Noosa will go to the polls this Saturday 2 July to vote in their new representative for Wide Bay. After months of campaign trails and election promises, you could be forgiven for being confused over who said what. To clear your confusion, Noosa Today has asked the candidates to state their promises, passions and policies in our handy Federal Election Form Guide.

Wide Bay election form guide sity and TAFE courses.

Environment; Get more protection and better care for the Great Sandy Strait, Mary River, Noosa River and Lakes. The fact is jobs growth comes from placing emphasis on eco-tourism and further jobs will be created when a dramatic improvement happens with recreational fishing.

3. What motivates you to pursue the seat of Wide Bay? A determination to improve our region because the people in our region deserve better.

We want to play our part in regional innovation which means keeping in touch with all that is going on across the world and to have a fair go at making a contribution. The only option for the people of Wide Bay is to pick a community champion, someone who will fight like a ‘dog with a bone’ to get action on the important stuff. That’s what I think the people of Wide Bay expect and that’s what I plan to do if elected.

4. Describe yourself in three words.

Determined, creative and positive.

1. In your opinion, what do you believe to be the most important issue in the Noosa region?

Has to be the NBN. The residents of Noosa need to be aware of what’s in store for us should the Coalition be re- Lucy Stanton, elected. I have Australian Labor Party doorknocked Gympie to hear first-hand about the dreadful rollout of Turnbull’s copper NBN. The horror stories of terrible speeds - worse than ADSL broadband - and constant drop-outs. This is not good for businesses that rely on fast and reliable internet access. We need to make sure the NBN rollout uses fibre optic technology where you receive the benefits of lightning-fast internet access, not outdated copper cabling that means our region gets left behind.

2. What are your two top policies or promises?

Education; Make sure all children at school get educated according to their needs with more individual attention for your child, better trained teachers and better support for students with a disability. For our youth, better access to univer-

2. What are your two top policies or promises?

I want to redress the high unem pl oym ent rate, particularly among the youth. I also Barry Cook, want to encour- Katter’s Australian Party age additional support for Australian industry, particularly dairy and cane.

3. What motivates you to pursue the seat of Wide Bay? My motivation is fuelled by my frustration at both major parties’ failure to understand the plight of rural communities and redress or acknowledge regional issues.

The most important issue in the Noosa region is the people of the region. Noone has listened or acted in so Elise Cottam, long, it’s time One Nation to get this done.

Building a foundation for our future kids.

Jannean Dean, Glen Lazarus Team 1. In your opinion, what do you believe to be the most important issue in the Noosa region?

With so many issues it is difficult to say which is the most important as they all have merit. Improving economic and social well-

being is at the top of my list to reduce financial hardship from the ever-increasing costs of living and attain a better quality of living.

2. What are your two top policies or promises?

Value adding to accelerate agriculture and supporting our priJannean Dean, mary industries Glen Lazarus Team to create jobs is a major step in the right direction and ending CSG expansion and establishing a Resources Ombudsman.

We are right in the middle of a food bowl and must put in place the right infrastructure to be exporting our high calibre produce and keeping jobs for Australians.

3. What motivates you to pursue the seat of Wide Bay? My passion for people drives me to represent Wide Bay. With so many needing support and a voice that has long been ignored by the major parties, it is time for strong representation.

Volunteers needed for a FREE 30-day invisible hearing trial

Bron Marsh, Greens

Bruce Mayer,

1. In your opinion, what do you believe to be the most important issue in the Noosa region?

Local accessible public hospital services.

Travelling to Kawana or Nambour for routine procedures like Bron Marsh, colonoscopies is Greens very difficult for elderly patients when there is little or no public transport available. The hospital needs to increase its public beds in proportion to population increase in this area.

2. What are your two top policies or promises?

To re-fund and expand TAFE’s in Wide Bay to give unemployed youth job and entrepreneurial skills without putting them into debt.

To protect farmland and aquifers from coal and CSG mining.

3. What motivates you to pursue the seat of Wide Bay? This entire region is covered with mining exploration permits which are a grave threat to our food and water security. After 25 years of Warren Truss’s representation, Wide Bay is the poorest federal electorate in Queensland. I want to see this fertile area become renowned for quality export produce. The Greens farmer support policies would facilitate this, restoring our once-great dairy industries, and opening new ventures into the much demanded organic foods market.

4. Describe yourself in three words.

Real, passionate and caring.

1. In your opinion, what do you believe to be the most important issue in the Noosa region?

The industrial relations laws need to be more flexible to encourage small business to take Bruce Mayer, on more staff. Family First The level of red tape, restrictive practices, and risk associated with taking on staff is hurting our economy and driving jobs offshore. More small businesses are using offshore support services instead of employing Queenslanders. That is not a criticism of them, but of the inflexible employment system they have to work under.

2. What are your two top policies or promises?

People are deeply concerned about the national debt and that neither major party is doing anything to address it. Family First is a socially and economically conservative party, and if successful, I will pressure the government to fix our debt situation quicker and deal with our inflexible employment laws.

3. What motivates you to pursue the seat of Wide Bay? The need to create greater opportunities for young people to access jobs. Seeing more young people working to build positive and rewarding futures.

UK agents enter Noosa SOME of the UK’s most senior trade representatives were treated to some Noosa inspiration this week thanks to a private visit to Noosa co-ordinated and hosted by Tourism Noosa.

Tourism Noosa CEO Damien Massingham said it was a first for Tourism Noosa exclusively co-ordinating and hosting the visit for the international travel partners.

“We were delighted to host the group of six from some of the UK’s leading travel companies including Trailfinders, Austravel, Gold Medal, Bridge the World and Travel 2 as well as Flight Centre’s Global Content Manager,” Mr Massingham said.

“The seven-day visit showcased some of Noosa’s key products working in the international market including Fraser Island and Lady Elliot Island.”

From learning to surf, cuddling a koala at Australia Zoo, discovering the Noosa Everglades, visiting Sir Richard Branson’s Australian home, Makepeace Island, seeing Noosa’s diverse accommodation range that work in

the international market and of course visiting world heritage-listed Fraser Island and Lady Elliot, the guests were treated to some of Noosa’s great experiences.

“The opportunity for these international trade partners to actually visit Noosa and see first-hand the amazing world-class product and experiences that are on offer in the region is a great way for them to truly understand what Noosa has to offer,” Mr Massingham said.

Visitor Andy Lees from STA Travel said the visit to Noosa had been one of the best experiences.

“The beauty is breathtaking, the locals are friendly and the lifestyle easy,” Andy said. “There is nothing in this itinerary and the experiences we have had that I would change.”

Fellow traveller David McGougan from Travel 2 said he had never been to Australia before visiting this week.

“So I was interested to come on this famil and see what it was,” he said. “I am overwhelmed with my experience

Olympian joins in for school’s special day ST Andrew’s Anglican College recently celebrated their 14th birthday with the help of a very special visitor.

The school’s Foundation Day, held on Friday 17 June, was a celebration of 14 years of operation with special guest, former St Andrew’s student and current Australian swimming champion Jake Packard dropping by to celebrate the milestone.

Jake graduated in the class of 2012 and as the current 100m Aus-

WIN

tralian breaststroke champion is also a member of the 2016 Olympic swim team headed for the Olympics in Rio. Jake shared his excitement at reaching his Olympic dream with students, parents and staff alike, reflecting on his time at school and how the support he received enabled him to combine both training and school.

“Being able to study Year 11 and 12 over three years helped me to achieve my dream,” he said.

“I was very fortunate that the support I received from staff allowed me to juggle study with the intense training schedule.”

Crooks' cold call

By JOLENE OGLE

Determined to dance ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD Alfie Shatlock’s dreams of becoming a professional ballet dancer are becoming a reality much faster than either Alfie or his parents expected.

Alfie, from The Dance Centre Peregian Springs, has just won two prestigious scholarships in just one week while competing against some of Australia’s best young ballet dancers at events in Brisbane and Melbourne.

The first was in Brisbane at the Performing Arts Challenge Pre Intermediate Ballet Scholarships, a two-day

competition held Tuesday and Wednesday 7 and 8 June.

Alfie competed against 55 young dancers from Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.

Alfie made it through the heats on the first day, through to the final six on the second day and won the classical ballet award for the 10 to 12 -year-old age category.

His prize is a summer school scholarship to the Australian Ballet in 2017, plus a $500 voucher.

Just two days later Alfie flew to Melbourne to compete

in the Inaugural Australian Ballet School Scholarship Awards and Master Classes where 168 young dancers from Australia and New Zealand competed over three days.

Alfie was among 71 young dancers in the 10 to 12-yearold age group who competed on Friday and Saturday at the Australian Ballet School, and again made it through to the final eight.

The final was held at the State Theatre at the Melbourne Arts Theatre on Sunday evening. Alfie excelled

again, finishing runner up and winning a two-week scholarship to the Australian Ballet School.

“It was a little bit nerve racking because there were 11 judges and the theatre was full, but I loved it. I love performing and this was an amazing experience. What a week,” Alfie said.

Director of the Australian Ballet Company David McAllister and Director of the Australian Ballet School Lisa Pavane were among the judges who evaluated Alfie’s dancing.

LOCAL police are warning Noosa residents to be extra vigilant after an elderly local woman was duped of several thousand dollars through a cold-calling scam.

Noosa Heads officer in charge Senior Sergeant Steve McReight said the local woman attended the Noosa Heads police station on Friday (24 June) afternoon to report she had paid “thousands of dollars” to a scam after receiving a call from a man who claimed to be from the tax department.

Snr Sgt McReight said the scammers call the victims claiming to be from a government agency, in this case the Australian Tax Office (ATO), and the victim is told they may be arrested due to a tax debt or because they haven’t lodged a tax return for a certain period of time.

“The victim is told if they want to avoid court and not be arrested or face deportation they are to purchase gift cards or prepaid cards such as iTunes cards or Load and Go cards to clear their debt,” he said.

“The scammer often remains on the phone while the

victim is required to pass on the validation codes to the scammer. The scammer may ask the victim to telephone a number that appears to be Australian but is likely to be a VOIP number."

Sen Sgt McReight said scammers were likely to target vulnerable and uninformed people in the community, so it is important to be aware of scams.

Anyone who is contacted by a cold-calling scammer is advised to refuse to make any purchases or pay any money.

A statement from Police Media said if locals had any doubts about the identity of a caller who claimed to be from a government department, they should hang up immediately and contact the department directly.

Don’t rely on numbers, email addresses or websites provided by the caller - find them through an independent source such as a phone book or online search.

Anyone who thinks they may have been targeted by this scam is urged to report it to ACORN via www.acorn. gov.au or visit their local police station.

Rotary baton change EACH year at the end of June local Rotary clubs hold a Changeover dinner to celebrate and thank their previous president and welcome in a new president to lead the organisation through another year.

This year, Rotary Noosa Daybreak thanked Jeff Williams for his year of service and welcomed on board new president Jenny Whitehead who will now lead the group through their coming fundraising activities including the annual Rotary Book Fest.

The Rotary Club of Noosa Heads was set to hold their dinner on 29 June, to thank outgoing president Chris Shoobert and wel-

come in Jim Bennett as the new leader for the 2016/'17 financial year.

The Rotary Club of Noosa held their 48th annual Changeover dinner on Monday 27 June and welcomed in former 2012 and 2013 president Tess Alexandroff, who is back to serve as president for another year.

“I’m a born leader," she said. “I love the club and I love the challenge."

New mums ease back into exercise

Tara is one of the many local mums taking part in the council's Active Mums Noosa program.

WOMEN taking part in Noosa Council’s Active Mums program say it’s a great way to ease back into exercise and fitness after childbirth.

Active Mums participant and motherof-one Tara said the classes are a chance to share experiences while getting fit.

“All the ladies know exactly what you’re going through, all the instructors know exactly what you’re going through - that removed a huge barrier for me,” Tara said.

Fellow mum Sandra said the classes were a welcome alternative to the traditional gym environment.

“I tried the gym and did a couple of the classes but it really wasn’t for me, I didn’t like the competitive nature of it,” she said.

Tara and Sandra are among 320 mums to realise the benefits of the Noosa Council program, which provides free or affordable access to a wide range of activities in partnership with local businesses.

Council community development officer Amanda Tie said the atmosphere was relaxed and supportive, and had childcare available.

Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and places are still available in activities such as Pilates, yoga, stand-up paddling, core conditioning, boxfit, aqua aerobics, group fitness and more.

“All of the activities consider the physical constraints and limitations mums face after child birth,” Ms Tie said.

Mother-of-two Emma said the council’s Active Mums Noosa program had been life changing.

“I didn’t realise that I’d suffered from post-natal depression since I gave birth to my first son three years ago, but since coming to the Active Mums program I just feel like my sparkle has returned,” she said.

Activities are held at various locations from Sunshine Beach to Cooran.

For more information visit www. noosa.qld.gov.au/active-mums.

The Queensland Government provided $20,000 to Noosa Council for Active Mums Noosa to get women active for life.

Voices rise for literature SUNSHINE Beach State School students were given a lesson in the arts, attending the Voices on the Coast Literary Festival at the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) recently.

The excursion was part of the school’s Academic Talent Program with students from years four to six learning about the literary, theatre and illustration world, as well as the USC location and what

life is like at university.

The students were also able to represent their school with pride and engage with students from neighbouring schools.

In her report of the event, teacher aide Emily Bates said the program inspires and motivates the students to develop their love of reading and writing.

The students’ first presentation was a talk by award-

winning author Greg Dreise who is best known for Silly Birds, Kookoo Kooaburra and Mad Magpie which are stories about teaching morals.

“Gregg, a descendant of the Kamilaroi and Yuwalayaay people, is a storyteller and entertained the students with his music, art and magic storytelling,” Ms Bates said.

Year five student Augie was very impressed and said it was a terrific workshop.

Pirates scrub up well

By JOLENE OGLE

The council will auction off 20 years worth of surplus items on 9 July at Ringtail Quarry. on Friday 8 July, between 10am and noon at a special pre-auction open day at Ringtail Quarry, Ringtail Creek Road, off McKinnon Drive.

For a list of items going

The "very enthusiastic" U12 Pirates team players washing cars.

1232826-RC26-16

THE Under 12 Noosa Pirates team got to work on Tuesday washing cars for local tradies to raise funds for the Pirate’s club.

U12’s coach Jeremy Orchard said the boys were very enthusiastic when it came to washing the cars.

“They did a great job,” he said.

“It was nice of Bunnings to offer (the opportunity) to us.”

The car wash was part of the Bunnings Noosaville Trade Expo on Tuesday 21 June at which more than 25 trade suppliers promoted their products while kids took advantage of the jumping castle, face painting and DIY activity station.

The U12 junior team washed over 10 cars to earn $150 worth of gift cards for their club that will be used to support the team’s trip to Gladstone to take part in the Jason Hetherington Cup clash from 8 July to 10 July.

It is one of the state’s biggest cup challenges and Jason said the team was looking forward to taking part.

ANYONE in the market for old bridge timbers, sand dredging pipes, bus shelter parts and pavers from streetscape upgrades are in luck.

These items will be among the goods auctioned off by Noosa Council at the Quarry Auction on Saturday 9 July at Ringtail Quarry.

The council’s technical officer Cameron Shields said the surplus items have been accumulating for 20 years and it’s time for them to go.

“We’ve had an amazing amount of interest already with reports of people travelling from as far afield as Melbourne to see what bargains they can pick up,” he said.

A professional auctioneer will oversee the auction which will see a wide range of items go under the hammer.

The auction will begin at 9.30am and continues through the morning.

The council will provide a barbecue to keep bidders and observers fed and hydrated with all proceeds from the barbecue supporting SurfAid, a charity that aims to help people living in remote coastal communities.

Members of the public can view the items the day before,

The team earned vouchers for the club to help with their coming trip to Gladstone.

HINTERLANDHAPPENINGS

Tyndle Colley (holding the ABW Grand Champion trophy) with her team mates, mentors and Bendigo Bank’s Geoff Edwards.

Studying the benefits of business ANOTHER Australian Business Week (ABW) has drawn to a close at Noosa District State High, with the program’s popularity only growing after its 13th year.

The ABW program offers Year 11 students the opportunity to gain skills necessary to run their very own multi-million dollar company.

In the exciting week-long intensive program, students made business decisions that had real outcomes. This year students ran a

simulated resort, and with the help of a business and teacher mentor, discovered the variety of skills needed to be part of a successful business in the 21st century.

The students were required to perform a variety of tasks including forming a company, assigning roles and reviewing key business areas.

This year’s 15 teams also developed a marketing strategy and mounted a trade display complete with promotional material and pro-

duced a 30-second commercial featuring their business.

This year, the team named Nature’s Hideaway Resort was crowned Grand Champion.

The winning team’s appointed CEO Tyndle Colley said the ABW experience had not only benefited her team, but all who took part.

“We’ve learnt so many valuable lessons this week - how to work together and consider everyone’s opinions,” she said.

“We were thrilled to have been given this opportunity to develop our skills in business management even though most of us haven’t had business studies as a course. We’re especially thankful to our mentors, who gave their time to guide us and advise us.”

Without the support of parents, students and teachers ABW simply wouldn’t be the success it’s become, but it’s the support from local businesses that has seen the program

Council cash brings on the festivities NOOSA Council is getting into the Christmas spirit early this year with more than $35,000 being allocated to support local festivities.

A host of events have been approved to receive community festive event grants of between $3000 and $10,000 annually, for three years as part of the council’s revamped community grants program.

Boreen Point’s New Year’s Eve @ the Lake event received $3000, Pomona Night of Lights $2400, Tewantin’s Christmas Gala Carnival $3500, Christmas in Cooroy $7000, Noosa Carols on the River $8000 and the Kin Kin Community Christmas Tree event received $1500.

Cooroy Chamber of Commerce president and Christmas in Cooroy organiser Danielle Taylor said the team was very pleased to receive the funding boost.

“Christmas in Cooroy is a totally free event so this fund-

raising is essential to ensure we can continue to put smiles on thousands of faces each December,” she said.

“It is one of the major festive season events for Noosa and it just keeps growing with 15,000 people attending last year.”

The program is not limited to Christmas events, with the council also providing $10,000 annually to support Australia Day festivities - a partnership of Rotary Club of Noosa Heads and the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club.

“The council is pleased to help local organisations that deliver festive events enjoyed by so many in our shire,” mayor Tony Wellington said.

“We are blessed to live among so many wonderful volunteers whose efforts reinforce the true spirit of Christmas. Each of these events is a celebration of community and each one is quite special.

They certainly deserve the council’s support.”

One such business is the Cooroy Community Bank branch of Bendigo Community Bank. Having just sponsored ABW for another year, manager Geoff Edwards said the Community Bank would be proud to support the program again in 2017.

“This is our ninth year as the major sponsor of ABW and the relationship gets stronger as we become more involved in each facet of it,” Geoff said.

Kin Kin is looking good

By JOLENE OGLE KIN KIN is on the way up, according to locals who have banded together to boost the Hinterland town’s profile as a tourist destination.

Local Anita Poteri said the town is working towards becoming a must-see destination in the Noosa Country Drive circuit; a “quirky” tourist town for lovers of all things local.

Launched by Tourism Noosa

in December last year, the Noosa Country Tourist drive links tourists with the charming hinterland towns of the shire through suggested drives with Kin Kin forming a major part of the recommended northern loop drive.

Anita said Kin Kin was growing, offering more activities and accommodation to visitors such as local alpaca farms, horse riding trails, boutique bed and breakfast accommodation and bike trails.

“We can sleep up to 40 people

in Kin Kin now,” Anita said. “You can even bring your horse and camp on the Kin Kin oval for $10 per night.”

Anita said the Kin Kin community spirit was alive with the local General Store now stocking a range of local products and produce from farms in the area that visitors can buy.

“There’s an influx of pumpkins at the moment, so the Kin Kin General Store is stocking local produce that visitors can buy and

take home with them,” she said.

“There’s also the famous Kin Kin Naturals range and Kin Kin Teas.”

Kin Kin is just a 30-minute drive from Noosa Heads and just 15 minutes from Cooroy.

If you have any news on Noosa’s Hinterland towns from Boreen Point to Cooroy, Eumundi and beyond, we would love to hear from you. Please email newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au

The Kin Kin bike trails are among some of the great activities on offer in the hinterland region.

Budget cash flows to Hinterland

This freestanding retail building in Eumundi's main street has sold at auction.

New owner for high-profile site THE iconic Tina Cooper Pottery building in the heart of Eumundi village has sold at auction for $467,000.

The freestanding retail building at 93 Memorial Drive noosatoday.com.au

was sold to a local owneroccupier business operator on behalf of a local investor and the agents report the marketing campaign for the 53 square metre building attracted 19 in-

quiries and a strong turnout for the onsite auction.

On the day, there were eight registered bidders, with six placing bids on the property that sits on a land area of

266 square metres and has the potential to be developed.

The new owner of the building will move their existing Eumundi business to the site.

NOOSA councillors last night ratified the council's 2016/2017 budget with the Noosa Hinterland coming out a winner as mayor Tony Welling announced a range of projects for the region.

Pomona and Cooroy will benefit this financial year with a range of projects for the areas including a $250,000 cash boost to formalise the bus turnaround area in front of the Pomona State School.

“These works will significantly improve safety in the pick-up and drop-off zone,” Cr Wellington said.

“And they will have the added benefit of stopping the clouds of dust that have been finishing up in the school’s swimming pool.”

Pomona will also see the development of a town centre masterplan, to be developed in consultation with the community, and the local skate park will get a replacement shade sail.

For Cooroy, the council will continue developing plans for an iconic playground and the historic Boiler House next to the Woodies and Camphor Laurel operations will receive essential repair and safety works, hopefully bringing that work to fruition and allowing the site to once again open to the public.

Over in Cooran, $100,000

has been set aside to improve pathways leading to the state school, plus money will be spent refurbishing the Boreen Point campground amenities, and also to provide more powered sites there.

“I’m very pleased to announce the funding of a Six Mile Creek flood study,” Cr Wellington said.

“This will provide the council with a better understanding of flooding across the catchment, from Cooroy to Pomona and Cooran. It will also fulfil my promise to investigate residents’ flood concerns in the Lake Macdonald area.

“Kinmond Creek Road at Cootharaba will be the scene of two new culverts at a total cost of $1.25 million. The existing culverts at Sandy Creek and Eastern Branch are currently failing.”

Hinterland roads will share in more than $400,000 worth of gravel road resheeting, but this may be just part of the story for our rural roads.

“Council is currently finishing its assessment of our sealed road network,” Cr Wellington said.

“That gargantuan task will highlight where there are roads requiring attention.

If rural sealed roads require immediate attention, there are emergent capital reserves available for this purpose.”

Too few voices IT WOULD appear that the diversity of reporting and opinion in Queensland print media is about to be further stifled by News Corp. The Murdoch press already publishes the Courier Mail, but it is soon to take over daily newspapers on the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Mackay, Bundaberg, Gympie, Ipswich, Warwick, Toowoomba, Townsville and Cairns, as well as many free community papers such as Noosa News. If we want a different perspective to news in Queensland, Australia or the rest of the world, we will have to go online. Let’s hope that Noosa Today can keep going for a while longer, so at least we can get some independent local news.

Bruce Hallett, Noosa.

LENSCAPE

Bats fly the coop HAVING just returned from Sydney, imagine my delight to find that the hordes of bats we have suffered from for over four and a half years seem to have gone, apart from a few strays still roaming the skies above our heads in Wallace Park.

It is a marvel, and an absolute joy, to hear the sounds of birdlife again instead of the screeching and hissing we as residents have been subjected to.

It is now time for Noosa Council to act. A determined program should be instituted by them to remove all the paperbarks and blossom gums in Wallace Park and replace them with gumtrees and pine trees. Tube plantings can be obtained by the council for little expense from the NPA and forestry departments and can be planted. Perhaps this could be a community project, involving schoolchildren and citizens alike.

There is nothing stopping the council now.

Get on with it and go forward, and do it quickly before, heaven forbid the bats come back.

It is nice to see the smiles on Wallace Park residents’ faces, and the for sale signs now starting to proliferate. For some residents it means a chance to forget the horrors of the past four and a half years, and a chance to start again and for others it means the hope of having their original wildlife back, and resuming outdoor activities again, including children playing.

K. L. Fielden, Tewantin.

Medicare scare I AM seething at the mouth at the systematic elder abuse being perpetrated by the Labor Party and the unions in this Federal Election.

With no justifiable reason the Labor Party and the unions are bullying the aged in a scurrilous scare campaign around Medicare. Actually, cold calling on the phone to create fear and anxiety in those most vulnerable members of our society. This is systemic elder abuse. It is totally unacceptable.

Shame on you Bill Shorten and your CFMEU mates, afraid of being pulled into line for your bullying tactics in the building industry, so you mount a scare campaign without any valid foundation. Let me tell you CFMEU involvement in the building industry adds dollars to the costs of health infrastructure. Why don’t you get your own house in order before you attack the government and Malcolm Turnbull?

And, you also seem to think it’s OK to go into hospitals and tell vulnerable sick children

NORM Stacey captured the breathtaking morning reflections along the Noosa boardwalk. If you have a photo of Noosa's landscape or wildlife you would like to share, email it to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au that the care they are getting is below par, as you stand in the wings like some mythical being, to wave a magic wand as they rise from their beds cured of their ills. Let me tell you, mate, it takes more than that!

I hope that the electorate call you to account for your scurrilous lies and behaviour of your mates in the CFMEU. Vanessa Gregory, Noosaville.

Batty ditty The bats are gone, We know not where, And in fact we do not care.

The birds are back, The house is clean, And now we are back living the dream.

Norah Lilley, Tewantin.

Haunted by dingoes I AM haunted by these unique Fraser Island dingoes suffering a horrific death from 1080 poisoning. This is a highly dangerous poison which is banned all over the world as too hazardous except in Australia and New Zealand.

These dingoes have suffered enough on this Island. I have written many times on the scourge of 1080 and its cruelty. Now the biggest fear has taken place, it’s been used illegally to cause harm and it’s a worrying menace that someone can get a hold of this extremely dangerous, class 7 toxin which has no antidote and a few grams can kill hundreds of humans. The hard truth is Australia uses this poison prolifically all over our land with many thousands of dingoes killed like this, as it goes right through the environment killing other native animals. The process of the animal’s death is so inherently inhumane. I have for many years expressed disgust at the use of 1080 when there are many predator friendly options. It should be banned Australia wide. We ought to be outraged at this 1080 baited poisoning of these poor dingoes.

It’s sickeningly cruel that they were killed like this by some sociopath, an A-grade sadist, doing this to defenceless animals. It’s completely shocking they were poisoned illegally - it poses a huge question - why is it that easy to get this toxic poison? It’s a slow cruel cell death with the agony that it inflicts, screaming, vocalising and fits, likened to being electrocuted for two days straight with intense pain until they die after many agonising hours, just horrible and distressing to witness.

Marie-Louise Sarjeant, Tewantin.

Hospital policy FOLLOWING my recent announcement regarding the LNP policy on the future of the Noosa Hospital, I have received many words of encouragement and also questions as to the policy’s implementation. For the benefit of your readers I thought I would set out the policy and the discussions I have had with the Labor Government on the Noosa Hospital in the lead-up to the announcement.

To be precise the LNP policy is as follows: The Noosa Hospital’s current lease expires at the end of June 2020. An LNP Government will negotiate a new lease for an additional 30 years which will guarantee the hospital’s future until 2050.

I am acutely aware that the hospital is wanting to invest in upgrades to infrastructure and as a result when in government we will sit down with the hospital’s operator, Ramsay Health, and negotiate tenure which will allow for infrastructure spending to be spread across a longer period of additional time.

The LNP will also invest an additional $5 million, indexed each year, to boost the Emergency Department and to fund additional public procedures throughout the hospital.

Finally, I would like to make your readers aware of the many meetings I have had with the Health Minister Cameron Dick and senior officials from Queensland Health. I know that in the short to medium future the government will release their policy position on the Noosa Hospital, which means that regardless of who forms the government after the next state elelction, the LNP or Labor, the future of our hospital is guaranteed.

I have worked towards this goal now for a long time and I want to publicly record my thanks, not only to my own colleagues, but to the Health Minister, for understanding how important the Noosa Hospital is to this community.

Glen Elmes MP, Member for Noosa.

Straight up “STOP telling us what to do.“ That’s the answer why the workers of England voted to break away from the EU. Since joining the EU farmers and other producers have been told what they could grow and the amounts they could produce, over-production was dumped in the oceans and wine growers in other countries had their vines and orchards counted by satellite then excess destroyed.

So it wasn’t just England that’s spitting the

dummy, as history will show.

On one trip to the UK in 1993 I made the usual visit to the farmer I worked for when leaving school. He had to keep 25 per cent of his farm arable but untouched and was paid 75 pounds per acre for it. But to meet his potato quota with Edgells for chips he had to rent ground from a neighbouring farmer.

That is occupation and control by stealth.

I believe Norway and Switzerland refused to join the EU and luckily England didn’t give up its pound for the Euro. Because of what’s been decided we personally will be penalised with the drop in value of the small pension we get from there each month so we should be dissatisfied.

We also recall the nights in air raid shelters as the attempt to dominate and control the people of England eventually failed.

E. Wright, Sunrise Beach.

Let's Bre-going A NEW word in the community - EDVexit.

Surely a referendum/plebiscite is warranted!

Chris McDonnell, Doonan.

Just so rude I HAVE just returned to live in Australia after many years overseas. I have been especially impressed by the Sunshine Coast area where everyone is so friendly - the customer service people, as well and passers-by in the street.

I also remember the friendliness of the local butchers. However, yesterday I was in for a rude awakening. My husband and I popped in to a local butcher. The girl offering to assist me was very friendly and patient as I hemmed and hawed a bit over which bacon bone would fit into my rather small slow cooker. Suddenly the owner (I presume) came up from behind her and said to me gruffly “They’re only $4.99 a kilo”. I explained it wasn’t the price I was concerned about, it was selecting the right size.

He then proceeded to chastise me for what he felt was wasting the friendly girl’s time chopping and changing my mind. (I might add that I was the only customer at the counter). This is not the first instance this obviously non-customer-service-savvy Australian man has been unfriendly, but this time it was downright rude.

I felt like a child being upbraided for bad behaviour. I will never visit this shop again and encourage others to buy their meat elsewhere.

“Call me today and let’s discuss your options”

Pledge to build on THE LNP is hoping a planned $5000 incentive for local builders to hire apprentices will help boost the construction industry.

Master Builders construction policy director Corlia Roos said she welcomed any initiative that boosted entrance and completion rates.

“The industry has experienced a marked increase in the uptake of apprenticeships in the last 12 months, but completion rates are still hovering around 50 per cent, so the LNP’s policy to reward

those who complete their apprenticeships is welltargeted,” Ms Roos said.

“The construction industry is a great industry to be in with a lot of opportunity. Too many young people are not seeing the potential and are not giving it a go or giving up too soon.

The Queensland building and construction industry is said to be the cornerstone of the state economy as the number-one contributor to gross state product and one of the state’s top employers providing over 203,000 jobs.

“Policies that encourage

young people to not just enter the industry, but to complete their apprenticeship and then go on to engage in a lifelong and fruitful career are good for the building and construction industry,” Ms Roos said.

“A lot of builders run their own small business so any incentive to help them recruit apprentices is good.”

Ms Roos also welcomed the LNP’s Tools for Tradies policy which will provide a $500 voucher for tradies who complete their apprenticeship.

Steady as she goes THE south-east corner of Queensland has recorded small levels of growth in the housing and unit market throughout the March quarter, according to the REIQ. While the March quarter has been slower throughout the state, the Sunshine Coast housing market grew one per cent, up four per cent from 12 months ago and 9.1 per Number 5 Plover Street in Peregian Beach has just sold at auction.

Auction action NUMBER 5 Plover Street in the much sought-after Peregian Beach was sold on Saturday by the Century 21 Conolly Hay Group.

With prime blocks of land hard to come by in such desirable locations, number 5 Plover presented an opportunity for a savvy investor to develop the land, build their dream home or renovate the current all-original beach shack into an oceanside weekender.

C21 Conolly Hay principal Mike Hay said the sale of the 531 square metre block was a great outcome for the vendor and the new owners.

“Large blocks of land so close to the ocean are hard to come by,” he said.

“This is a win-win for all involved, with the new owners sure to enjoy the land, location and vibrant Peregian Beach community.”

Mr Hay couldn’t reveal the sale price of the house but said the outcome of the auction was a great sign for the local market.

cent from five years ago.

According to REIQ, solid infrastructure projects will help the house market continue its steady trajectory of sustained growth.

The Gold Coast is buoyed by Commonwealth Games works and is expected to maintain small, steady growth into the short-term future with the market

up 0.5 per cent this quarter - 5.8 per cent higher than 12 months ago and 10.2 per cent higher than five years ago.

Looking at the apartment market, the REIQ said performance was patchy with only small levels of growth recorded in the Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba and Fraser Coast, offset by falls in the Gold Coast, Bundaberg, Mackay, Townsville and Cairns areas.

Looking at the rental market, pressure on good rental accommodation on the Gold and Sunshine coasts has predictably pushed rents up, with the Gold Coast rising by around $20 a week this quarter across three-bedroom houses, two-bedroom units and three-bedroom townhouses.

“The successful auction of number 5 Plover just shows how active the local market is,” he said.

Mr Hay said the Century 21 Conolly Hay group were happy with the results in the Peregian area.

“We have really focused on great outcomes for our sellers, and with the recent sales of 56 Peregian Esplanade and 34 Avocet Parade further add reason to sell with Century 21,” he said.

The new owners said they would keep the original three-bedroom beach shack for the time being, but plan to build their dream home in the future to take advantage of the potential ocean and hinterland views the block offers.

The south-east corner of Queensland has recorded small levels of growth in the housing and unit market throughout the March quarter, according to the REIQ.

THE year was 1978. One of the foundation members of the Noosa Arts Theatre, Val Warren, enthusiastically suggested the inauguration of a One-Act Playwriting Competition for Sunshine Coast residents, with the three finalist plays to be staged.

By 1983 the One-Act Playwriting Competition became so popular that it became a national event attracting entrants from across Australia and internationally. Now in its 39th year, Noosa Arts Theatre is proud to offer the three finalists for 2016, opening on Friday 1 July.

A Poet Passes written by established author Allan Mackay from New South Wales, offers a poignant journey of discovery as Ann and her daughter Natalie attend the funeral of Ann’s husband, a famous poet they have not seen for 17 years.

In the lead-up to the service on a winter’s morning, Ann and Natalie meet people who solve the mystery surrounding the man who deserted them.

AFTER playing in acclaimed orchestras and chamber music ensembles in Europe for more than 17 years, internationally renowned classical clarinettist Nicole Van Bruggen has returned home to Peregian Beach.

Van Bruggen is a highly respected exponent in historical clarinet, basset horn, basset clarinet and chalumeau and is passionate about chamber music from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Van Bruggen has won prizes in prestigious competitions and recorded numerous CDs of this rich repertoire.

While living in The Netherlands she was principal clarinet in many of Europe’s finest historical instrument orchestras.

Since returning home she has been very busy with her performance career as well as teaching the most talented clarinet students at Matthew Flinders and St Andrews Anglican Colleges.

Three years ago Van Bruggen founded Orchestra Seventeen88, Australia’s first romantic and classical orchestra with Richard Gill AO and Rachael Beesley, her colleague and long-standing friend.

WHAT'SON

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Natalie Barlow with her painting of Cormorants.

Kevin Borich is never gonna quit.

Power performers show no signs of slowing PHIL Emmanuel is known globally for his talent.

It’s not a question of perspective, it’s a fact. His skill on a guitar and passion for music have been thrilling audiences for decades.

Kevin Borich shares the same level of worldwide stardom.

So how do you find a show that has both of these iconic musicians belting out their talent? You head over to the Tewantin Noosa RSL. Phil Emmanuel is known as the greatest electric guitarist of all time. He has performed alongside a list of music gods and goddesses that is taller than he is.

In 2000 he performed in front of 4.5 billion people at the closing ceremony of the Sydney Olympics.

Kevin Borich is also hard to outshine, has played and collaborated with huge names such as Fleetwood Mac, Santana, and the Little River Band.

Coupled together these two musicians represent exactly the phrase “Never gonna quit”.

If these two fantastic musicians weren’t enough, the Tewantin Noosa RSL’s beloved, rising star Strange Brew is also hitting the stage.

Strange Brew’s name is apt when it comes to their music

The Pomona Gallery will host the annual King of the Mountain Art Exhibition which will be officially opened by local newsagent Les Sloots, at 11am.

A spokesperson for the Pomona Gallery Artists and Friends said this year’s exhibition would be far from boring.

“Our exhibition is called 'Diversity' this year,” they said.

“Normally we have a local theme but this year our members decided to just 'express themselves' in a number of

Well crafted tale of witches

By SuzAnne King, of Friends of Noosa Library IN 1692 Salem, Massachusetts, noone wore a black pointy hat.

There were probably brooms, but they mostly were used for sweeping - and black cats were purely of the domesticated variety.

Yet some people would swear in court to the highest officialdom that they saw their neighbours flying

through the air and that some woman caused others to twitch convulsively.

Yet another had made some poor “innocent” steal a friend’s husband.

This isn’t make-believe or some fantastic television series. It is a book about true events that are “scarier than fiction” to quote Mark Twain.

The Witches: Salem 1692, by Stacy Schiff, is a perceptively written horror story of how one isolated and zealous community lost its human-

ity and collective conscience for the briefest moment in time with awful consequences that we still talk about today.

Schiff points out how these Puritan zealots had originally escaped British persecution during the Middle Ages' hiatus of witchcraft: a time when many religions and not only Puritans believed in witchcraft and possession.

Most of the Salem superstitions

and idiosyncrasies were cast from that time.

But more importantly, Schiff explores how the very mode of life in a dark backwoods and some startling trivialities all contributed to a macabre period of persecution not seen in the Americas before or since.

The Witches: Salem 1692, by Stacey Schiff, is available at the Noosaville library.

Great coffee and more TEWANTIN Noosa RSL’s coffee shop is a cafe in its own right with delicious handmade treats and quality grade Belaroma coffee on offer daily.

The coffee shop has humble beginnings as a small addon to the RSL bar more than six years ago. After a transformation, the addition of a new manager and the creation of new menus, the coffee shop has blossomed into the bustling cafe it was always meant to be.

Coffee shop manager Sabine Franz, with over 16 years in the industry, was the catalyst of change for the cafe.

The Tewantin local, originally from Germany, brought a homey touch to the cafe as she rewrote a full menu to include favourites made on site from locally sourced produce.

Sabine attributes the success of the cafe to the friendly and inviting atmosphere great staff and wonderful food brings.

“I treat the coffee shop as if it’s my own place,” Sabine said.

“I employ nice, cheerful girls who enjoy serving our

Made to order and delicious: a chicken breast burger with bacon, brie and pesto. customers, and although the food might not look perfect all the time, it will always taste great.”

Everything is made on site; from the delicious pizza bases to the wide range of sweets on offer daily.

Patrons are guaranteed to find something they like with a full menu of pizzas including the carnivore, Italian, Mo-

roccan lamb and chicken barbecue, as well as great light meals from pulled pork sliders to beef nachos and BLTs. And for those with a sweet tooth, you’ll be in heaven with a bevy of delicious, handmade treats on offer including the popular caramel and macadamia cheesecake and fluffy lemon meringue pie.

Warm up on the inside COMING in from the cold or recovering from a cold, nothing is said to be as comforting as a hot bowl of soup.

Made with a variety of nourishing vegetables, soup can be one of the most healing and fortifying of meals, especially in winter.

Soup not only warms you from the inside out, it can also have many health benefits. Traditional ingredients in soup like garlic and pepper work as natural decongestants to thin out mucous and make breathing easier.

Winter time is perfect for soups and Nilla from Vanilla Food, located in Belmondos Organic Market in Noosaville, is sharing her dairy free, gluten free and vegan wicked roast pumpkin and rosemary soup.

Pirates land on the Island

By DAVID ARNOLD LAST Saturday saw the Noosa Pirates travel to Beerwah to take on Bribie Island in a match which is crucial to their finals chances for 2016.

With a near full squad to choose from, coach Scott Christensen was quietly confident of victory.

Things didn’t go according to plan early as Bribie came out all guns blazing and led by four points after just three minutes of play.

However fullback Ben Hayes restored order in the eighth minute for the Pirates and when Lauchie Gladman scored and converted in the 16th minute the Pirates had a handy six point lead.

Ben Hayes scored his second try in the 23rd minute and a drubbing looked on the cards.

Bribie struck back on the stroke of half time as the Pirates held a slender six point lead at the interval.

Centre Aaron Locke scored almost from the kick-off in the second half to extend the lead to 10 points, yet Bribie wasn’t to be denied and scored just two minutes later.

Coach Scott Christensen continued on his try scoring spree this season in the 43rd minute to virtually seal the game for the Pirates.

Second rower Alex Clare got in on the scoring act in the 50th minute and when Utility Player Chris Bur-

Noosa Pirates and the Queensland Outback Rep side. gess made a barn storming run in the 57th minute to barge over the line for his first try as a Pirate, the writing was on the wall.

The Pirates scored at will with Winger Darren Hall and 5/8 Hayden Trask adding the final touches to what ended up being a decisive 44 points to 20 victory.

Although the game was a some-

what scrappy affair at times the result sees the Pirates knocking on the door of the top teams and with what appears to be a favourable draw in the coming weeks, the future looks brighter than it did just a week ago.

Saturday evening saw the U18s travel to Coolum to take on a Representative side from Outback Queensland in an exhibition game as part of the Coolum Carnival.

Although not knowing about this game until late last week, which was originally scheduled with a bye, the boys more than acquitted themselves against a team which was picked from various parts of Queensland.

No official scoring took place but the yet to be beaten 18 points to 16 showed that these young men are on the pathway to something special.

U8 Blue U8 Blue braved the cool winds to travel to Kawana for what proved to be a couple of tough games.

Jack had an outstanding couple of games with some magic bulldozing runs breaking through several Kawana players.

We saw pocket rocket Lachlan running up with his team mates supporting them through tackles and runs.

Super Sam helped his team plough forward with some fancy footwork. It was a great team effort, boys!

U8 Yellow It was freezing conditions for the team which faced off against Kawana, which itself certainly turned on the chill factor.

The boys went up against the Grey Dolphins and our Pirates were there to break through the ice!

Riley O’Neill received the Player of the Match this week.

He continues to always give his best and improve on his game.

There was some great attacking play by the team with forceful hit ups and good ball control by Abraham, Dusty and Cooper which, in turn, enabled a number of tries being scored by Hayden, Brandon and Phoenix.

U9 Yellow The U9 Yellow Pirates’ Pretzel and Bailey are working hard to get their team running harder onto the ball.

There were plenty of highlights throughout the game.

Thanks again to Kearne, Ash and Ty for helping the team out.

All players leading into the

Bailey Hozier from the under-nines bustling forward through Kawana's defence. holidays got the player of the match gong.

U10 The U10 teams had three big games against a fresh Kawana team and played hard.

The Blues started off first against Kawana Maroon and did some great tackling and try scoring.

Yellows were up next against Kawana Grey and played well but some improvements still need to be made with missing tackles and defence.

Blues were up again against another fresh Kawana team and played well, being consistently dominant again.

U11 Yellow This week the boys had a road trip down to Caboolture and the Pirates had a strong win 46-28.

In a hard and physical game, the much larger Caboolture hit the ground running and scored quickly.

The Pirates, however, played some great attacking footy to regain the lead.

Coach Isaac gave the man of the match to the whole team for such a great effort this week.

U12 Gold There were plenty of

nerves leading into the healthy rivalry that Noosa U12s and Kawana have established over many years.

The skills from both teams again leaving us in awe. Noosa were, throughout the entire game, sensational in defence.

A few uncharacteristic handling errors creeping into the game stifled the blistering attack we have become accustomed too.

U13 Gold The boys went down to the undefeated dolphins playing with no reserves and 12 players for the entire second half.

The team’s effort was tremendous and they never gave up right to the end. Well done boys hold your heads up, you’re all champions.

U18 Girls Well, that was another tough night at the office.

The U18s had the mercy rule applied with the score getting to 50-0 in the second half.

The biggest mistake is not moving forward together in defence and shutting down their runners early.

We all have reasonable tackling techniques that we have been practicing but if we give them time and space it is too hard to apply our techniques.

Blindsided by Brexit HANDS up if you were a bit blindsided by the Leave vote winning last week’s Brexit referendum in what is currently known as the Dis-United Kingdom?

Frankly, friends, I was flabbergasted! Historically, referendums on difficult questions almost always result in the negative, that is, retaining the status quo. Unless it’s something as basic as stopping a war or abolishing taxes, change is hard to sell, which is why I have to confess I took almost no notice of the months of campaigning leading up to the poll, other than to observe that Boris the Buffoon seemed to be using it as a battering ram through the front door of 10 Downing Street, which, the way it’s now playing out, is where he might end up.

But looking at the bigger picture, from this distant and lofty position, it seemed almost inconceivable that thinking Brits would choose to walk away from the concept of a united

Mega-swell in Mexico While things at home have settled down a bit - actually a lot! - last week’s mammoth mid-Pacific swell smashed up quite a bit of Mexican coastline but resulted in huge and perfect waves at Puerto Escondido for the first event of the WSL Big Wave Tour for 2016/17.

Previous tour champion Grant “Twiggy” Baker took out the honours with a perfect score in the final for

Mmm, now what?

a technical tube ride in an absolute monster, but there were many perfect waves ridden, Gold Coast paddling machine Jamie Mitchell scoring one absolute blinder and was unlucky not to make the final. Hawaii’s Makua Rothman, on the other hand, having made the final, was lucky to survive it after being crunched by a massive close-out.

This is what differentiates Puerto from most other big wave venues.

Huge swells rear up out of deep water and pitch over shallow sandbars, creating top to bottom walls from which there is no escape. It is a wave of total commitment, perfect to look at, frightening to tangle with.

Tip for travellers: There is a lovely boutique hotel directly in front of the break where you can take a jug of margaritas onto the rooftop garden and watch in awe.

EU, but of conspicuous consumption and profligate waste.

So yeah, there was plenty of work to be done, but the timing was not good. Not only has the EU had to help orchestrate rescue missions for basket case economies, like Greece, on an ongoing basis in recent years, but it has also had to confront the greatest human rights issue of our times - the constant northward flow of political refugees from the wartorn south. The solution, at least as far as the vast majority of middleaged and elderly rural English were concerned, was to turn back the clock, roll up the bridge and man the turrets. Keep calm and rule Brittania!

I was living and working in London when the UK joined the fledgling European Union in 1973. It was a time of rampant strikes, power shortages and three-day working weeks.

Brittania wasn’t ruling much at all, and the possibilities that a European Union might offer seemed endlessly appealing. In fact a 1975 referendum showed that almost 70 per cent of Brits were behind the union.

I was living and working in Europe again in the early 2000s when the Euro single currency was intro-

Europe, which, despite 40 years of bureaucrats brawling in Brussels and EU pollies with their snouts in the trough burning through billions, is still a noble, pragmatic and eminently sensible goal. And it is a goal that was shared by the vast majority of Brits under the age of 30, the generation set to now inherit the mess created by the own-goal kicked last Thursday by an ageing, fearful and forgetful population and their manipulative political masters.

Of course, the European Union, like all bureaucracies, is far from perfect, and the Leave campaign made much of its ridiculous petty legislation, mainly related to trade, such as the regulation of the acceptable curvature of bananas, or that conversely cucumbers must be straight (I’m not making this up!), or that olive oil should not be served from bulk containers in restaurants, for hygiene and quality reasons. Since one of the greatest things about eating out in Europe is to dip one’s bread in the oil of the land, this last one was roundly ignored, and the curvature of bananas was seldom policed, but still the impression grew that Brussels had become the capitol not just of the

Noosa River giving plenty

By JACK MANGROVE

Stan Anderson with a sweetlip from the closer reefs.

NOOSA’S beautiful river has been a hype of activity lately with plenty of fish getting caught right throughout the system.

Around the river mouth, the deeper water is holding some goodsized bream, and those that have been venturing out in the early mornings have been rewarded with some “chopper” tailor in the same location.

Woods Bay is still fishing well with a variety of different trevally species on the chew at the moment.

Once again, the early morning sessions have been the most productive, but if you don’t fancy yourself as a morning person, there should still be plenty of action in the late afternoons.

The Frying Pan and the Dog Beach have both produced some nice whiting with worms and yabbies the perfect baits.

The blackfish are back and river

mouth carpark rocks is the place to catch them. Coolum cabbage or peeled prawns as bait and the high tide has been the most successful combination.

Further upriver, the ski run has been holding good numbers of school jew, and a handful of anglers have been catching them on prawn style soft plastics. When you’re working a lure for jew, the trick is to keep your lure moving slowly across the bottom with plenty of pauses. The crabs are also on the march with both sand and mud crabs making their way into pots loaded with fresh mullet.

With the great weather we have been having, the offshore anglers have been cleaning up. Whether on the inner reefs, or a big trip to Double Island, it seems everyone is getting a nice feed.

North Reef has been fishing well with a good mix of reefies including sweetlip, tuskies, pearl perch, and some nice snapper. A little fur-

ther away, Double Island has been well worth the trip, with some great quality snapper caught over the weekend. Red emperor, cobia, jewfish and pearl perch were also on the menu. Closer to Noosa, Sunshine Reef was also firing with a couple of quality sweetlip, squire snapper and the odd cobia.

On the beach, it is all about the tailor, with good quality fish starting to show up. With tailor, it’s all about the bait presentation, good quality pilchards on ganged hooks, mullet strips and salted bonito fillets are all prime baits. Once you have got onto a school you can swing over to lures like the Halco Twisty.

Look for those gutter and deeper holes and fish the morning and late afternoons on an incoming tide. Big winter bream and dart are also on the cards and enjoy the same baits as the tailor.

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

Dolphins out-scrum New Zealand!

By LUCY WHITEHILL NOOSA DOLPHINS THE Noosa Dolphins Under 15 team are busy on their annual 10-day tour of New Zealand, where they will see some field action against the might of the NZ team.

Sunday saw Noosa play their first game in New Zealand in what was a great hit out against Macleans College.

The early rain in the warm up - and anticipated showers in the first 20 minutes - didn’t deter the team and once the boys got into rhythm they started to showcase their skills.

The forwards were sensa-

tional and made many metres, but the highlight was when the Dolphins out-scrummed the NZ side winning all of their own and all of the NZ scrums, except one. The final result was 7-7.

The club is thankful for having the chance to play in such a beautiful location and the welcoming hospitality.

Back on the homeland, the Noosa Dolphins made their presence felt at the Sunshine Coast Stingrays presentations at Sienna Catholic College, Sippy Downs.

Tiger

talk JULIAN PITTS

The Rococos Noosa Tigers produced their best win for the 2016 season at Weyba Road last Saturday against a formidable opponent Caloundra in front of a very healthy school holiday crowd.

From the very outset the Noosa boys were on as they pressed their opponents religiously, particularly in the forward half where the Panthers had real trouble clearing the area.

Up forward it was popular clubman and goal sneak Adam Curry who banged home three majors for the team with onballers Hill, Moloney, Isles, Fitzpatrick and Davis all over the place.

The Tigers backline was also holding sway with the return of Jack Tickner into the key back role noticeable and the solid form of Lambourn, Copeland, Wallace, McKittrick and Hunt further evidence of the way the

talk

DANNY O’BRIEN

We started slow this week. The heavy ground from the week before had a lot to do with it, but after the first quarter we started to get going. Our mid-field was very strong throughout the whole day. Wince, Deansy and Ryan got amongst it while the back six once again rebounded so many attacks from Caloundra.

Jed Mullens played his best game to date while our fullback, Scotty “Magnum PI” Wagner, played his best game so far. Best on ground, Sam Friend, booted four majors. His speed and skill were on display and

Tigers were going about it.

Caloundra showed signs of getting some run in the second quarter however it was the Tigers ferocious pressure around the footy that had them leading by four goals at the main break.

The second half was a replica of the second quarter with both sides not giving an inch before it was noticeable that the Panthers could no longer stand the onslaught of tackling and harassing that had been applied to them with the Tiger faithful increasingly warming to the goal kicking exploits of Adam ‘Cuz’ Curry, who really did just put on a show.

Curry ended the day kicking eight goals in just a superb display of small forward play and thoroughly deserved his best on ground win in the Tigers’ 53 point victory.

Amazing to think this same guy couldn’t get a run in reserve grade last year. What a credit to Cuz’s effort and persistence and what a great story. Great effort Cuz! Mind you, there were top players everywhere for the Tigers with experienced onballers

his form over the last six weeks has been rock solid.

He just keeps knocking on the Senior’s team door.

After watching Adam Curry boot eight goals and three behinds in the Senior side, there is a real buzz of excitement around the boys, especially the guys knocking on the door.

Biddy, Lou Fary, Jman and Sniffa all got through the weekend well after missing the last four games.

It was great to see young Louis kick a monster goal from 58m - plus and another newcomer, Jimmy, in his first season of AFL played so well. We go up against Mayne this weekend, which will be a cracker of a game. A win this week will give our group more confidence moving forward.

Dolphins see light

Max Gunthorpe accepts his 2016 Noosa Electorate Qld Day Award from Member for Noosa Glen Elmes.

THE Noosa Dolphins will be swimming in light thanks to a cash injection from the State Government to install a solar system at the clubhouse.

Member for Noosa Glen Elmes announced the Noosa District Rugby Union Club will receive a $26,525.45 grant from the Gambling Community Benefit Fund (GCBF).

“The grant, sourced from gaming tax revenues, will help to offset the rising costs of electricity, an expense that places significant financial pressure on small community groups and organisations,” Mr Elmes said.

“The club is well known and much loved in the Noosa community and is the result of the work of hard working volunteers. Grant programs such as the GCBF have become a lifeline for clubs such as

the Dolphins, who contribute to the health and wellbeing of our society and in particular our youth.”

Earlier this month, Mr Elmes presented one of the club’s founders Max Gunthorpe with a Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Award for his 30-year plus contribution to the club as well as his involvement with setting up a Supporters Club network for fund-raising.

“The not-for-profit sector is consistently challenged to find new sources of funding and a cost reduction plan is a great addition to any financial management strategy,” Mr Elmes said.

“The beauty of installing solar of course is not only the potential to save on electricity charges but where possible to generate an income stream from feeding back in to the grid.”

Karate keeps kicking on

Joel steps up to help out his mates

AFTER six months of research, a thesis, two-hour presentation and exam, 73-yearold Garry Maher is now a nationally recognised teacher in the advanced skills of martial arts.

The former police detective sergeant started practicing karate nine years ago to keep fit and “young in the mind” and enjoys teaching the art to others at Noosaville’s Karate Budokan International.

Garry said he wanted to achieve the government qualification to better equip himself with the knowledge, skills and the latest trends and issues in the teaching of karate to benefit his students.

For Garry, his involvement with the KBI Masters group for the over 50s has been the highlight of his karate journey, where he has found karate can help transform people into more agile, confident and motivated participants.

By JULES ROSENKRANZ

“I can identify with such people because I nervously commenced karate at 65-years-old, wondering what on earth I was doing in a karate school,” he said.

“But I hung in there and with the assistance of the friendly teachers I worked my way up through belt ranks until I reached what I thought was an impossible dream; a first dan black belt at the age of 68 and eventually my third dan at 72 years of age.

“I’m a great believer that the joys and challenges of youth should not be solely the preserve of the young and that anything in life is possible but the impossible, it seems, just takes a little longer.”

Garry said he is always looking for people to join him and share the challenges and the real sense of well-being that the martial art of karate provides.

NOOSA EAGLES SOCCER THE Noosa Eagles Soccer Club were ready for another home game after a wash out last week, the wind was cool, the air was fresh but the sun was shining as all the boys and girls played their little hearts out for the first weekend of the school holidays.

Under 8 Gold were lucky enough to play against some of their fellow Under 8 Red and White club mates in a friendly game, after Golds’ opposition - the Currimundi Urchins - forfeited the match.

Joel Fitzgerald got player of the match for being the player to volunteer to join the Red/White team to play against his Gold teammates and was the highest scoring player of the match with four goals. Thanks to the Red and White teams for volunteering to help out.

Saluting the sun with a little yoga OVER 75 local yoga teachers and practitioners came together on Sunday 19 June to salute the sun as part of the worldwide celebration of International Yoga Day. The yoga enthusiasts stretched out 108 sun salutations in unison as part of the celebrations where the global yoga community comes together as a collective energy forming a symbolic “mala” or garland around the earth.

The sacred number 108 was chosen due to its significance in the practice of yoga, and the belief that the number represents the wholeness of existence.

The Noosa mala of 108 sun salutations was prepared by Yoga Circle and organised with Noosa Yoga School at Noosa Leisure Centre to include all yoga studios and practitioners in Noosa.

Over $1000 was raised on the day with all donations from the free event going to the Katie Rose Hospice in Noosa.

Over 75 yoga enthusiasts came together to salute the sun as part of the International Yoga Day celebrations.

New role for Jurisevic NOOSA Councillor Joe Jurisevic has been named a patron of the Sunshine Coast Sports Federation, replacing former Councillor Sandy Bolton.

Sunshine Coast Sports Federation chairperson Benny Pike said Cr Jurisevic joins Gympie Mayor Mick Curran, Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson, Councillor Greg Rogerson, Moreton Shire Councillor Peter Flannery and surfing icon Hayden Kenny.

“It widens the catchment of not just our sport stars, coaches/teams/volunteers/events, it gives everyone a pathway and opportunity to acknowledge their performances,” he said.

“With Coast Sporting competitions played across the Gympie to Caboolture region it is important to have the entire area included.

“Cr Jurisevic has a long history and is still active in local sport, and is a strong supporter of the Coast Sport Star of the Year Awards.”

Mr Pike said the catchment zone already has 25 athletes named for Rio, including Noosa’s Brittany Elmslie and Jake Packard.

“There’s no doubt - coupled with the great weather, superb facilities and wonderful events - the Noosa area will play an important role for the entire region heading to the 2018 Gold Coast Games,” he said. “Cr Jurisevic is a welcome addition to the Sports Federation.”

Cr Jurisevic said he was looking forward to the new role and working more closely with the Sunshine Coast Sports Federation. noosatoday.com.au

Honour shocks Chris

sport today NOOSA’S BEST SPORTS COVERAGE

By RON LANE IN THE eighty-eight year history of the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club, there has never been a more prestigious award than the Lobban Cup. Donated and awarded in 1962 by Peter and Faye Lobban, its purpose was to “acknowledge the most outstanding lifesaver of the year - senior or junior.”

Club captains were not eligible and all aspects of surf lifesaving, with the exception of surf sports, were to be addressed when the nomination was being investigated.

If the candidates were not considered to be outstanding, it was not to be awarded. The first to receive the award was Graham Andrews - an 18-year-old pastry cook from Gympie.

On Friday evening at the annual dinner and presentation of awards, the Lobban Cup was awarded and the lifesaver honoured, was Chris Grandemange.

When asked to comment Chris replied, “Oh boy, I certainly wasn’t expecting this; this certainly is an honour. I just find it hard to believe.’’

Chris started his career in lifesaving in 1975 when as a 15-yearold, he joined Maroubra club in Sydney. During the years ahead he was to hold the office of gear steward and later on patrol captain.

“I also started driving the IRB. To do this all you needed in those days, was a boat licence and then you started. With regard to compe-

Noosa Heads Surf Club person of the year Chris Grandemange.

tition I rowed boats for five years.”

His years in Maroubra are well remembered; however one day in particular sticks in his mind.

Sunday 8 December, 1996. It was on this day that as a result of his part in the rescue of a fisherman off the rocks at North Maroubra, he was to receive an award for outstanding bravery from the Randwick City Council.

“We were in an IRB and the seas were that big that the helicopter couldn’t get close enough to winch a crewie down, so we had to go in and get him. Had no choice we had to go.”

It was in 2002 that Chris, a building contractor, and family arrived in Noosa.

“At first we had to juggle my time between Noosa and Sydney because of work; but eventually things settled down.”

Immediately on arrival, Chris along with wife Cathy, sons Bryce and Keaton and daughter Kobee, joined Noosa Surf club.

“My first patrol was under Frank Rock P.C. then I also became a patrol captain and eventually held office as IRB captain.”

Chris has also spent several seasons working with Nippers; and added to this, he is now a member of the 24-hour emergency call out team.

Like many of today’s veterans, for Chris and his family the surf club has become a full-on family affair. Now because of his attitude and devotion to duty, his Lobban Cup award now stands him amongst the elite of this great club.

Surf club’s night of nights Between the

flags RON LANE

FOR the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club, Friday night 24 June was definitely like the sinking of the Titanic - a night to remember!

Before a packed house of some 240 guests which included life members, politicians, major sponsors and other invitees, acting President Barry Leek, on behalf of all members, extended a very warm welcome and invited all present to relax and enjoy the evening.

Despite being some two months since the Australian championships, where the Noosa competition team achieved their best results ever, many members are still drifting in a state of utopia.

While achieving these results they also created a major breakthrough, when, for the first time they had teams in the men’s and a ladies’ final of the blue ribbon event, the Taplin Relay.

The resulting tally of 17 medals noosatoday.com.au

(4 gold, 5 silver, 8 bronze) and the memories of these achievements definitely set a positive atmosphere for the evening.

Mr Leek first of all thanked local MP Glen Elmes and Councillor Frank Pardon for their support over the years and also acknowledged the sponsors, who are now considered part of the Noosa family. After thanking the members, Seniors, Nippers and competitors for their commitment, he then announced the club’s most important statistics of all - the figures regarding the club’s performance in all areas of lifesaving.

These figures revealed that the members had performed a total of 17,680 volunteer patrol hours, 2320 preventative actions, 39 rescues and attended 235 first aid cases. And of course the governing factor - no lives lost while members on patrol.

Regarding the presentation of awards, in the surf sports category, Jordan Mercer was named competitor of the year, Kirsty Higgison and Grace Kaihau coaches award for achievements, and Cooper Williams for his achievements and leadership while performing his duties as cap-

tain of the Sunshine Coast representative team.

In the boat section the Under 23 crew was acknowledged when, for only the second time since 1949, Noosa won a medal (silver) in the finals at the National Titles; Blair Townsend received the Marjan Strajnar Memorial trophy, rower of the year.

Director of Surf Sports, Peter French, then gave thanks to the 12 members who worked as judges and officials at all carnivals. Noosa’s contribution in this area of competition at both State and National level was outstanding.

Next was the vote of thanks to team manager Bruce Warren and his team of assistants. This is sometimes a thankless job. Every aspect of the carnival programs have to be checked and double checked. During the course of the day particularly in big surf conditions, times and sometimes locations will change, and team managers will be suddenly called to urgent meetings at various parts of the competition area. From sun-up to sun-down, it’s all go.

In the area of surf lifesaving,

which contains the four major awards of the season, the results were indeed very gratifying.

Best Patrols - Patrol 10 (Don McKill Capt) and Patrol 9 (Jon Gemmell Capt); Clubperson of the Year Steve Freckelton; Patrol Captain of the Year Trevor Lansdown; and most prestigious award of all - the Lobban Cup, Chris Grandemange.

The naming of Chris as recipient of this award was well received. So prestigious is this that if there is no truly outstanding nomination, it is not awarded. This has happened on several occasions.

Also this year the best Patrol Captain received for the first time the Dave O’Donnell Perpetual Memorial Trophy. Dedicated to the memory of the late Dave O’Donnell, a former club captain, it was presented by his wife Debbie.

There were many other outstanding achievements too numerous to mention. To those and the people responsible for organising this most enjoyable evening, well done to all.

Once again Noosa’s Main Beach had a busy Sunday, this time hosting

Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club's Clubperson of the Year Steve Freckelton. the World Swim Events.

With a program consisting of short endurance swims from 1km to 5 water safety was once again provided by our local surf clubs, with Sunshine Beach providing 15 board paddlers and Noosa 3 IRB teams.

For them their day started at 5am and finished at noon. Many thanks to all.
