A number of studies have been done on the safety effects of replacing intersections with roundabouts.

Consistent among them is the speed-reducing effect of roundabouts and the decrease in motor vehicle accidents by the introduction of roundabouts. It seems bicycles do not fare as well.

A 2000 Swedish study found special attention had to be paid to cyclists at roundabouts and they should be integrated with motorised traffic before they entered the roundabout. It also found there should be only one car lane both on the approach in the circulating area and on exit.

A study in 2007 on the effect on bicyclists of replacing intersections with roundabouts found it resulted in an increase in the number of accidents involving cyclists. Another in 2010 found roundabouts with cycle lanes clearly performed worse than roundabouts with cycle paths.

Noosa Council has released an education program to make drivers responsible for roundabout safety.

Will it be enough? â—?

THIS WEEK WE’RE TALKING ABOUT… JUNIOR, SENIOR PIRATES TRIAL MERGER

One of Noosa's 100 roundabouts.

CAMPAIGN FOR ROUNDABOUT SAFETY Two decades of research shows single-lane roundabouts to be very effective in reducing speed and accidents, but multiple lane roundabouts can lead to road safety problems and can even increase accidents involving cyclists.

Studies in the Netherlands on turbo roundabouts which direct traffic in a spiral motion preventing lane changes have been shown to improve road safety.

To improve safety in Noosa where there are more than 100 roundabouts, many with multiple lanes, the council has embarked on an education program to make drivers more responsible for safety.

Funded by the State Government, the campaign includes a pamphlet, instructional video and information pop-ups to be delivered at Noosa’s libraries.

Project officer Joanna Ferris said roundabouts

were often a source of confusion for visitors not familiar with Noosa’s roads, as well as newcomers to the shire.

“With more than 100 roundabouts across the local road network, including many multi-lane examples, roundabouts are a Noosa-specific road safety issue,” she said.

“Drivers unfamiliar with the area can be daunted by the number of roundabouts, and cyclists can find it challenging to make their way safely through the roundabouts.”

The How to Use a Roundabout campaign aims to educate all road users on how to drive or cycle through a roundabout, while explaining who gives way, when to indicate, and what to do at a multilane roundabout.

Council staff will be at Noosaville Library today from 10am to noon and at Cooroy Library on Thursday 10 August from 2-4pm to show drivers the video, explain the rules and hand out copies of the brochure or visit www.noosa.qld.gov.au/ roundabouts ●

SPORTING ICON’S PASSING SENDS SHOCK WAVES

Garth Prowd OAM 1952 - 2017

News of the shocking passing of local legend Garth Prowd has rocked the Noosa community.

Mr Prowd, who shaped the Noosa Triathlon into the world-class event it is today, was cycling in Barcelona, Spain, while on holidays with his family, and fell from his bike, critically injuring himself.

The 65-year-old never regained consciousness, and his life-support was turned off on Sunday, leaving behind his greatest love of all - his family - wife Robyn, daughters Sally, Megan, Katie and sons-in-law Matt and Ben.

Noosa juniors and seniors will merge this Saturday for the first time in a trial for Noosa Pirates rugby league to become a single entity.

Pirates president Greg Christensen said since 1975 the juniors, aged under-6 to under-16, had their base in Cooroy while the seniors aged from under-18 to A-grade had called the Tewantin Sports Complex home.

But the different home bases have been proving difficult for the number of volunteers required and for parents who often have to travel between the grounds for family members playing in either group.

“Each team has its own manager, and we need people to man the bar, scorers, time keepers, referees,” he said.

This weekend Pirates will play the last game of the season against Kawana on their home turf and on Saturday every game from under-6 to A Grade will be played at Noosa.

The trial will test the capacity of the grounds to deal with the comings and goings of people to various games, parking and logistics.

“We’ll have an information tent set up for people to ask questions and put forward suggestions for the amalgamation,” Greg said.

“We’re hoping to get people involved in the whole club instead of just the juniors or seniors.

The juniors have 350 players and the seniors, 450 players.

The Pirates plan to keep bases at both Cooroy and Noosa, and still have a lot to work out in terms of how the games and training sessions will be organised, Greg said.

“It’s going to be a big job,” he said. ●

Pirates unite juniors and seniors.

His family released a statement on Tuesday.

“He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend to many, and his loss will be felt by all who knew him.

“While we mourn the loss of a truly remarkable man, we will remember his incredible life and his contribution to Australian sport.”

Garth started the Noosa Triathlon back in the mid-1980s, and transformed it into one of the biggest athletics events in the world. Out of that grew his Noosa-based company, USM Events which he ran for over 30 years.

Moving on from USM around seven

years ago, Garth remained committed to tri, iron man, and surf lifesaving, and was instrumental in the launching of the 2008 Noosa Festival of Surfing.

Mr Prowd was awarded the Australian Sports Medal in 2000, nominated for Australian of the Year in 2004 and received a Medal of the Order of Australia in 2005 for his services to Australian sport.

He was known throughout the Noosa community as an all-round great bloke and a great athlete with integrity, heart and commitment.

Garth will be sorely missed by our community as well as the wider sporting community. ●

COVER STORY

JAZZED

UP FOR

PARTY Richard’s 16kg sousaphone has left a permanent dent in his shoulder.

BY MARGARET MACCOLL

H

ow do you find good jazz where there is none?

Noosa Heads Jazz Club president Richard Stevens knew a guy from Colarado who couldn’t find any good jazz, so he invited up 10 mates.

Ten jazz players make up two bands, but not necessarily the same bands as a good jazz player can shift between instruments and bands, he said.

A quarter of a century ago, Richard Stevens and Frank Johnson initiated the Noosa Jazz Party following the Colarado method, and the numbers have increased, but the format is still working today.

Richard was introduced to jazz by his wife Patsy, a musician “who knew all the people in the jazz circle” in Melbourne.

The couple moved from Melbourne to Noosa about 30 years ago, but missed the jazz culture they left behind in Melbourne.

Despite his interest in jazz, it was only in his forties that Richard progressed from a jazz lover to a jazz musician.

“One day we were visiting Frank, having a drink in the afternoon. There was a silver tuba gone black sitting in the corner. He said I could play that,” Richard said.

He did start playing the silver tuba then discovered a sousaphone in America, which he made his own, spending more than it cost to send it back to Australia.

Before long, he and fellow musicians started playing gigs around Noosa, at one time doing six gigs a week, before the idea to invite jazz musicians to Noosa became a reality.

“In 1992, I hoofed it up and down Hastings Street and went into all the shops and resorts to find out when the quietest and cheapest time was,” Richard said.

“They gave me two options. The quietest time was two weeks before Christmas and a week before the September school holidays.

“We opted for the latter. It fell on a long weekend for the Noosa Show Day. There was then the Enterprise Group funded by the council. They said can you have it the week before.

“The demographic in Noosa at that time of the year is our demographic.

“We still have that demographic. There’s a lot of people who own property here. “Maybe 20 per cent stay with friends, 10 per cent are grey nomads. That’s our market.

Our prices are mostly in the budget mode.

“It would be lovely if more kids came, but it’s not our focus. Once they do come though, they’re locked in, they love it.”

Richard said the “happy jazz” that is played, the moderate costs, a free concert and the fun of it draws both musicians and guests.

“Noosa Jazz Party is unique. The musicians are all the very best. They are people who can play lots of instruments and we put the groups together.

“We can give people six hours of jazz or 24 hours of jazz in four days. There are restaurants where you can have a three-course meal and a show. There’s the riverband shuffle with two restaurants, two ferries, two classic bands. We have a legend every year - this year it is Peter Gaudion.

Gaudion began playing in his band The Kansas City Six at 19 years of age, and has played all styles of jazz most of his life. He has toured extensively across the US, the

Pacific and Europe and has appeared on television specials, feature films and performed a lead role in the Australian production of High Society.

Over the 25 years of its existence, the Noosa Jazz Festival has been organised by three different groups and undergone a few name changes.

It is again named Noosa Jazz Party which is a trademark registered in Richard’s name.

Richard and Patsy are now the organisers as Frank died tragically when he was struck by a car while crossing the road during one of the jazz parties.

The loss of Frank leaves a big gap in the Noosa jazz scene.

Frank gained fame in Melbourne where he played trumpet with the Dixielanders, one of Australia’s leading jazz bands. From the 1940s, the band had its own radio show on 3UZ in Melbourne and fans queued around the block to see them live.

When Frank moved to Noosa in the 1980s, the jazz scene had changed enormously in Melbourne, and his following faded but it didn’t matter to him. It was always the music and the democracy of it he loved. For Frank, the Noosa Jazz Party epitomised the simple things that had made jazz such a success when he began.

As the show goes on this year, the democracy of jazz continues. Each of the invited jazz players is a band leader, and players will be assigned into bands for the party.

“We’ve always just kept going with what we know from a lifetime associated with jazz,” Richard said.

“Most of the time, it’s a delightful artistic result,” Richard said.

He said while there were some stars among jazz players, the genre didn’t attract divas or princesses.

“The sentiment about jazz is no one regards themselves as any more important than anyone else. There’s no A-grade and B-grade players,” he said.

It’s this egalitarian attitude that allows players to fit into various bands and promotes an ever-diversifying style of music, particularly live.

“Live jazz is something you can’t get from a CD,” Richard said.

Richard said the event would be spread across the region and not just focused on Hastings Street.

Last year’s festival was sold out, and its financial success has been a boost for this year’s festival, and drawn support from local businesses.

Richard said the jazz club underwrote costs, and already the festival had covered expenses for the musicians, and many accommodation houses were sponsoring the event.

“We can just focus on getting the festival done.”

There will be 36 or 37 jazz players at this year’s 10-day festival being held from 25 August to 3 September. The Sunshine Coast Youth Orchestra and St John’s College Orchestra will also be involved.

Jazz will be performed at a range of venues including the River Deck Restaurant, Pier 11 Restaurant, Fratellini’s in Sunshine Beach, Miss Moneypenny’s and Cafe Le Monde in Hastings Street, the RACV resort and the Sunshine Beach Surf Club.

A free Sunday concert will be held at Lions Park on Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, and the centre point for the event will be The J theatre in Noosa Junction.

WILD WOMEN TAME COAST

BY MARGARET MACCOLL About 1400 walkers in more than 500 teams formed a never-ending human line as they trekked 30 to 60 kilometres from Mudjimba to Noosa on Friday for health and happiness and to raise money for the Fred Hollows Foundation.

First across the line was the allfemale 60km Team Camel Toes 1 made up of Kristin Esler, Bec Tweedy, Karyn Fraser and Lucy Reid, all of Queensland.

The event was the first Wild Women on Top Sunshine Coastrek challenge designed to get women off the couch and on to the coast.

Libby Trickett signed on as an ambassador for the inaugural event after taking part in the Sydney Coastrek in 2015 and realising the importance of making time for herself following the birth of her first child.

Wild Women on Top chief adventure chick Di Westaway said the main barriers to getting women outdoors were guilt, time, a negative association with exercise and family commitments.

“Coastrek motivates women to go walking with their friends because it makes them feel better. Not only do they get fitter and stronger, but they also get that warm glow back,” she said.

“Walking is more about the mind than

BIG BUCKS FOR BIG IDEAS A sub-committee of the board “that is independent of any links to likely applicants” will evaluate project applications to be funded by the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF), according to its chairman Dick Barnes.

NBRF last Wednesday launched its next Big Ideas fund of $330,000 to be allocated to projects that deliver environmental and socio-economic outcomes for the NBRF. Dick said big ideas did not necessarily imply big budgets.

“Big Ideas projects costing less than $20,000 may be approved directly from the Expressions of Interest. Projects over $20,000 will require full project documentation,” he said.

Dick said NBRF sought “transformational projects” in four priority areas of healthy waterways, catchment management, iconic species and sustainable and socio-economic development that brings

prosperity and engages all sectors of the community.

Mayor Tony Wellington said there was no other mechanism within council’s grant funding methodology to achieve multi-year, longitudinal projects of the sort that NBRF have already invested in.

“Projects like Bring Back the Fish, Keep it in Kin Kin and the Mapping Koala Health initiative each provide excellent examples of the sorts of projects that NBRF can support, particularly as they are often bolstered by good science and significant input from tertiary institutions,” he said.

Noosa MP Glen Elmes said these types of projects were not what small communities did, “but it’s what we do and that’s what makes Noosa such a special place”.

Expressions of interest will close on 25 August.

Some 47 per cent of current jobs are in danger of disappearing in the next 20 years and it’s not just mechanical tasks at risk - there are plenty of white collar jobs on the chopping block.

As technology becomes increasingly smarter governments, schools, universities and job seekers are asking what will be the future of work.

A panel of guests including an author, economist, human resources expert and former chair of both the ABC and Australian Stock Exchange brought mixed reactions to the subject at the forum, The Future of Work, hosted by the Noosa Alive festival.

Economist Professor Judith Sloan said similar questions were asked in the 1930s and 1950s when jobs came under threat from technological advancements.

“Do we feel sad that machines spray-paint cars and there’s no longer a typing pool?” she said.

What she thought was important for people to have to secure future work was judgement, flexibility, commonsense and interpersonal skills.

“We shouldn’t think we as a society couldn’t make decisions on the pace technology takes over,” she said.

Former Australian Stock Exchange and ABC chairman Maurice Newman however believes there will be disruption across the board and it will cause pain as automation

More than 500 trees were planted at Weyba Creek by 64 volunteers on National Tree Day on Sunday. The Weyba Creek Bushcare group, Cooroy Scouts and other bushcare volunteers chipped in for two hours of solid planting. Noosa Councils Community Partnerships officer Kylie Gordon said the plants would help stabilise the creek bank, discourage weeds and encourage biodiversity. More than 22 million trees have been planted since the tree day was established by Planet Ark in 1996.

or artificial intelligence take over jobs and do “things we didn’t think possible”.

Youth advocate Jan Owens said research showed technological changes would mean more time would be spent learning on the job and working on strategies, interpersonal skills and creativity and people will need to become more self-directed.

Judith said a university education wasn’t necessarily the key to the future and it would be giving young people false hope to tell them that.

However HR executive Jenny Brice said in today’s job market applications and resumes were frequently read by computers and failure to have a university degree might immediately disqualify a job candidate without them ever sighting a human.

If technology takes over jobs, the question of a universal basic wage was raised.

Maurice said it would be destructive and would disengage people from doing better.

But author and academic Tim Dunlop pointed to studies that showed having financial security made people more productive and more entrepreneurial.

“What nearly all entrepreneurs have in common is rich parents,” he said. “They have their own safety net.”

The forum, moderated by ABC Radio National presenter Paul Barclay, will be available on ABC podcast in the next couple of weeks. ● Dennis accepted the machines from Rotary president Tess Alexandroff and said it would be of great benefit.

“The urinalysis machine is a valuable simple machine used to assist in the diagnosis of urinary tract infections,” Dean said.

“It will assist GPs with treatment strategies by providing a documented result and will benefit residents through early detection of infections and a reduction in the need for hospital treatment.

“The prompt results will allow clinical staff to evaluate and provide treatment to residents as required without having to arrange appointments and await results from external providers which means, most importantly, being able to minimise the level of discomfort sooner and decreasing the duration of the infection.” ● noosatoday.com.au

Rani worked for years for other fashion designers from haute couture to mass production companies after studying fashion production in custom clothing in the 1990s at East Sydney Technical College.

It was only the summer of 2015 that she launched her own designs under the label Ella and Sunday.

Her classic designs and use of natural products caught the eye of the Queensland Show which invited her to join the Ekka’s much loved and long running Natural Fibre parades.

“The Ella and Sunday label was born from years of searching for beautiful clothes that can be worn everyday,” she said.

“As a mum of four, I’m always looking for fashion that is affordable and stylish versatile pieces that can be worn to work, school drop off and dressed up and taken out on the town. My focus is on natural fibres, timeless styling, and to create the perfect fit for women of all shapes.”

Noosa police are urging people to keep an eye on their number plates after a few have been stolen.

Police Senior Sergeant Mick Doogue said a few motorists living in the Tewantin area have reported their number plates missing. He said there was no certainty the number plates were stolen from Tewantin. They could have been stolen some other place and only noticed when the owners were at home. ●

HAIRDRESSER A BUSINESS FINALIST Surrender Dorothy Hair Salon owner Louise Turton has been named a finalist in the Corporate Business Woman of the Year Award for the 2017 Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network.

There are five finalists in each award category and each finalist has the opportunity to win Outstanding Business Woman of the Year 2017. Louise said she was “super excited to be representing Noosa at these awards”.

“I have looked at the other finalists

and the competition is very strong. It’s exciting to enter again, as I won Small Business Woman in 2007.” The winners will be announced at the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network Dinner gala dinner on 12 August. ●

VOTE FOR TURTLECARE PROGRAM Sunshine Coast Council’s TurtleCare program is a finalist in the 2017 Healthy Land and Water Awards in the Government Stewardship Award category for the People’s Choice Award.

This is the first time that the group has been nominated in more than a decade of protection of marine turtle nests on Sunshine Coast beaches.

Sunshine Coast councillor Jenny McKay said each year, dedicated turtle volunteers worked tirelessly to monitor the turtle nests and collect scientific data on nesting loggerhead and green turtles.

“Data collected over many years has shown that the measures taken to protect turtle nests from threats such as fox predation, beach erosion, light pollution and tidal inundation have dramatically improved the survival rate here on the Sunshine Coast,” she said.

Almost 90 turtle nests were found on Sunshine Coast beaches this year - about 60 nests between north Bribie Island and Buddina and almost 30 nests further north from Mooloolaba to Noosa.

LESSON ON BODY IMAGE AND SELF-CONFIDENCE A fitness instructor who won international body sculpting titles spoke to Year 11 students at Noosa last week about body image and self-confidence.

Emillie-Jean Bisgrove-Cole (EmJ) told the Noosa District State High School students how she struggled to put on weight as a teenager, and was tormented by classmates, which affected her body image and selfconfidence and made her disenchanted with school.

“I had no muscle mass, felt tired and cranky all the time and had constant headaches, which my doctor told me could be cured by taking some medication for the rest of my life," she said.

She decided instead to take up

Q&A

Katrina Shipton

Pharmacist, Katrina Shipton works fulltime, lives in Peregian beach with her dog Bean and inspires her workmates by changing her lifestyle to focus on being healthy and fit while keeping her sense of fun.

What do you enjoy doing on your time off?

I’m a runner, so I train. We have some incredible coastal tracks here and I take my dog Bean for a run, or I leave him at home and head up into the National Park.

I love the Sunshine Beach pocket, it’s a challenge getting up those stairs.

How long have you been running for?

Only about two years. I had a health scare and I made a promise to myself to get my physical health in check. There really is no limit to what we can make our bodies do with the right mind set and a bit of patience.

What about down time?

My down time is pretty minimal. I tend to be on the go more than anything. I try to sit up watch a DVD but invariably fall asleep half way through. Early riser’s problem. I work in my garden on the weekend. gym sessions and a healthy diet of lean meats, fruit and vegetables. She transformed her skinny 50kg body into a strong and very healthy 70kg figure, which, in turn, boosted her selfconfidence and energy levels.

After school, EmJ completed a Bachelor of Secondary Education at the University of the Sunshine Coast but swapped her ambition to be a physical education teacher to represent Australia in US body sculpting competitions, winning six international body sculpting titles and three international athletic titles.

The Vast Fitness Academy owner now coaches, mentors and trains athletes to compete nationally and internationally.

School media officer Bridge Muir said students were interested to hear

OK, I won’t ask you to recommend a good movie then - so how about your favourite meal to boost your energy?

I am addicted to Vietnamese rice paper rolls. Anything and everything can goes in those and plenty of colourful, crunchy stuff - easy for a healthy work lunch and fun as share meal.

What has surprised you most about yourself?

Pushing myself to run when it hurts has meant I could pass into a whole new level

of health. Now I love that feeling. I used to be exhausted by the afternoon, these days I power through (until I drop about 8pm).

What about treats?

My version of treats has changed from Tim-Tams on the couch to wholesome food and a sunset wine or two on the weekend. I still enjoy a couple of slices of pizza but I don’t crave that food anymore.

Balance is important. You still have to indulge a bit and not take food and exercise too seriously.

Year 11 student Tayla Lear talks fitness with Emillie-Jean Bisgrove-Cole. her advice on health goals and to learn that the biggest, most muscular women do not usually win the body sculpting

competitions as symmetry, hair and make-up also play a role in determining the overall winner. ●

NEWS SMART PUPS LEARNING THE ROPES Smart Pups in training Waylan and Wesley learnt about life in the classroom from Sunshine Beach State School students last week.

The dogs have spent six months in the Maryborough correctional centre as part of a pilot program where they are being taught a variety of tasks including wheelchair work, opening doors, picking up dropped items and turning on lights in readiness for life with a special needs child.

The dogs spend their work week training with the special needs children, and have foster families who care for them on weekends, enabling socialisation and familiarisation of other environments.

The Smart Pups organisation also trains dogs to support children with anxiety, diabetes and mobility problems and to be able to recognise and alert approaching seizures.

Waylan and Wesley will be placed with their forever family supporting a child with a disability once they have

completed their training and graduated from the program.

Spending time in the school environment prepares these amazing dogs with the necessary familiarisation of the unique sights, sounds and smells of a school environment before they go to support their new special needs child.

Trained dogs are carefully matched to a child with a disability, and can end up anywhere in Australia.

Over the past five years, the school has welcomed 17 Smart Pups in training. Having these special dogs at Sunshine Beach State School enriches the lives of not only the learners in the class but many other learners as well as they have the opportunity to interact with the dogs at break times.

Teacher Carol Sharpe has fostered more than 20 Smart Pups and has witnessed their effect on students.

“Over the years, it has become obvious that having a Smart Pup in the classroom creates a calming environment resulting in a more focused and enhanced learning environment,” she said. ●

Disability support service Sunshine Butterflies celebrated its seventh birthday on Thursday 20 July with members, staff, volunteers and charity patron Bob Abbott.

Sunshine Butterflies was founded by Leanne Walsh, whose son Curtis has cerebral palsy.

“It was challenging and life-changing with a rollercoaster of emotions when I first found out I had a child with a disability, but it also resulted in me forming a not-for-profit organisation, charity and disability support service to help Sunshine Coast people support their sons and daughters living with disability,” she said.

The organisation began with 10 members and has grown to support 500 people living with a disability and their families and employs more than 40 staff.

Sunshine Butterflies is close to finalising its new home ‘Our Backyard’ in Cooroibah so individuals living with disability can enjoy social, recreational and educational programs and activities in a safe and happy learning environment. The charity is still calling on any form of support from the community to get them into their new home. Phone 5470 2830. ●

NEWS Fifty nationally recognised ceramic artists have been invited to an exhibition titled 50 Vessels at Nambour’s Old Ambulance Station Gallery from 4-25 August.

From highly decorative, sculptural and classic work, both large and small, works on display will showcase a range of Australian and global influences including environmental, sustainability and cultural aspects.

The theme of the event is in celebration of the 50year anniversary of the naming of the Sunshine Coast.

President of the Suncoast Clayworkers collective president Jackie Gasson said they were proud to welcome award winners to their exhibition such as glazing specialist Greg Daly whose works were on display at more than 80 national and international art galleries and museums.”

“Sunshine Coast master potter and sculptor Ted Seacombe - who has contributed to exhibitions in Japan, Europe, the US and Australia and has works featured permanently across 30 collections worldwide - will bring to life our local talent,” Ms Gasson said.

Contemporary ceramic artist, teacher and bestselling author Janet De Boos will also join the collective, alongside West Australian clay potter Warrick Palmateer and Gold Coast artisan Megan Puls.

Launched in 2000, Suncoast Clayworkers Association is an umbrella organisation that fosters and promotes all forms of claywork.

MORE CAMERAS FOR FILM STUDENTS Noosa District State High School student Josephine Birch-Johnson regards Film, Television and New Media (FTVNM) as her most memorable and enjoyable subject in all her 12 years of schooling.

Last week, the Noosa Film Society bought and donated two Canon 700D digital cameras to the school to help more creative students advance their technical and artistic abilities.

More than 90 students in Years 11 and 12 at the school are enrolled in FTVNM, and until last week had only 10 cameras between them.

“Film and TV gives students a chance to express themselves and share their interest or the issues they find important in the modern age,” Josephine said.

“The youth view on today’s society is the most important as we are the next generation. Film is, in my opinion, a commonly underrated subject, as it can be a powerful educational tool.

“I have learned to recognise shot sizes, how to create the perfect shooting script, and how to analyse film techniques, but furthermore I have learned how to view everyday situations with a critical and evaluating eye.”

In November, FTVNM students enter their films into the school’s NOSCARS. The Noosa Film Society is hoping to screen some between dogs and their people.

Audiences will gain an insight into the world of dogpowered sports, an appreciation for the first canine sent into space, explore the bond between owners and their senior dogs, reflect on the true meaning of unconditional love, take a 600km hike through the Utah Desert lasting a full dog year and meet a philosophical

FOCUS ON … Dental Health

GUARDIANS OF YOUR SMILE

BY HOLLIE HARRIS

The BKP Dental team offers a less invasive style of dentistry. also offer cosmetic dentistry, restorative dentistry, tooth whitening and cosmetic orthodontics.

IT'S A GIFT FOR LIFE

BY HOLLIE HARRIS We have them for life - well, if we’re lucky!

Our teeth are so important to avoid problems later on - and there are a few ways you can optimise your dental health.

Start children early. Despite great strides in decay prevention, one in four young children develops signs of tooth decay before they start school. Half of all children between the ages of 12 and 15 have cavities.

Brush twice a day and floss daily.

Gum disease and tooth decay remain big problems - and not just for older people.

Toothbrushes should be changed three to

four times a year.

Older people with arthritis or other problems may have trouble holding a toothbrush or using floss. Some people find it easier to use an electric toothbrush.

Others simply put a bicycle grip or foam tube over the handle of a regular toothbrush to make it easier to hold.

Teenagers with braces may need to use special toothbrushes and other oral hygiene tools to brush their teeth. Talk to your dentist or orthodontist.

Preventative care is always the best measure. Keep up your dental check-ups don’t wait for a problem to arise. ●

TRY THIS … Get into sport

KIDS CAN COME-N-TRY

THREE … ways to encourage exercise

Around 40 per cent of Australian children don’t participate in sport at all. Common sedentary activities that compete with physical activity include homework, computer games, internet use and television.

Sadly, the two hour maximum time that the government recommends for these activities is well exceeded by most children.

Encourage your child to be physically active with these tips.

Noosa Council is hosting another of its popular Come-n-Try Sports Arvos for primary-aged kids to try out some summer sports to see what fun and games suits them.

Local sporting groups will be providing free fun activities in cricket, baseball, softball, Little Athletics and orienteering on Wednesday 16 August, 3.30-5.30pm at the softball fields, Noosa District Sports Complex, Butler Street, Tewantin.

Community Development Manager, Alison Hamblin, says past Come-n-Try afternoons have been very popular with the local kids.

"It’s really a great afternoon out and a great opportunity just to experiment with sports, in a fun and non-competitive environment. The kids have a little healthy snack before they start, and then they play for about two hours," she said.

"It’s always fun, and it’s really helpful for the local groups that get a few extra signups for the summer season."

Only six out of 10 children aged between five and 14 years participate in sport outside of school, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The Australian Health Survey conducted in April 2012 found that 25 per cent of Australian children and teenagers, aged five to 17 years, are overweight or obese, indicating that we need

KIDS NOT LEFT TO STAND ALONE

Lead by example - be physically active yourself. This is the very best way for your kids to learn how to choose a healthy lifestyle for themselves. This includes making some family outings that offer opportunities for physical activity, such as playing sport together.

2

Encourage your child to walk or ride their bicycle for short trips, rather than rely on you to drive them.

3

Support your child’s efforts in sport. Make sure you’re there at each match, cheering them on from the sidelines and encourage them positively so that they feel great about what they are doing.

BY RON LANE This Saturday 5 August, at 8am, veteran members of the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club will assemble at the club to welcome a bus load of very special young people - not only will they say welcome, but also provide a barbecue and refreshments.

Also on site to meet these children and make them feel welcome, will be lifesavers who will have completed their early morning training routines.

The bus is the vehicle that will be transporting the Kids with Cancer Project team - and on board will be not only the workers but the children themselves. You won’t have a problem recognising the big bus, for it is pink and along the side is painted the project slogan; “Kids with Cancer Need Science”.

Apart from meeting the kids the clubbies will have the opportunity to meet with the founder of the project Col Reynolds OAM, a “former" retired tourist bus driver. The club has arranged for the bus to be parked

to foster a more sports-minded culture that encourages children to be physically active.

People who are active dramatically reduce their risk of many diseases, including heart disease and osteoporosis. Regular exercise is also known to reduce the risk of emotional problems such as anxiety and depression. Habits are established early in life and evidence suggests that physically active children are more likely to mature into physically active adults.

Starting at Townsville, the bus will be on the road from 2 August, stopping in Queensland, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT, before arriving in Sydney on the first day of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, 1 September. Ending at the Childrens Hospital at Westmead, it will have covered a distance of almost 10,000 kilometres.

Events have been organised at each stop to bring public awareness to the issue. In a pamphlet released regarding the project, Mr Reynolds said he first became aware of kids cancer, driving past a children’s hospital in 1980.

He then went on to establish the independent national charity in 1993.

This he did after discovering funding research and clinical trials were the only way to stop a children’s disease more deadly than any other. Thus the funding for this project is of the utmost importance.

digital devices, it is more important than ever to encourage them to get involved in sports to balance the time sitting still. This is a fantastic opportunity to try out a range of different activities to find that perfect fit for your child. Fitness is an invaluable gift to a child's future.

“In Australia each year 950 children are diagnosed with cancer and three will die every week.”

Further to this he went on to say the project was inviting all Aussies to go online or attend their local event and make a pledge for science.

“Together we can show the kids suffering with cancer and their families that they do not stand alone.” ●

NOOSA TODAY 19

LETTERS CONCRETE AIN’T GREEN I feel so upset by what I saw during my visit to our beautiful Noosa National Park last week. A wide concrete path has been laid from the park entrance to Tea Tree Bay and Dolphin Point.

This path is not in keeping with the environment, and appears to be in conflict with the aim of ecological sustainability required in the Noosa National Park Management Plan.

The huge sandstone blocks now placed at the park entrance, Boiling Pot and Dolphin Point look so ugly. These are not indigenous to the area, and in fact conjure up visions of penal colonies. I wonder why they have replaced the more comfortable traditional seating?

Apparently over $800,000 was spent on these changes. I am unaware of any community consultation being carried out prior to this work being undertaken. Consultation should occur with local communities, including representatives from Aboriginal groups and local historical societies, according to the management plan. I believe the work done urbanises the park, which is not in keeping with the proposed objectives for the area. It would be good to have an explanation of why it has been done.

The Department of Environment appears to be in breach of its own Act. It is their responsibility to maintain areas of Indigenous cultural significance, including plants and rocks in the area. The aim of the Act is to keep a designated National Park in as natural a state as possible. The visual beauty of Dolphin Point has been destroyed, the structure and shape of the headland totally changed.

Some sites of Aboriginal significance have also been compromised. The heritage of this area must not be desecrated any further. Perhaps the park needs to be closed at night, and visitors to the park monitored to make sure they respect the heritage of the area. This includes not removing or interfering with wildlife, rock formations or plants.

I am only one of many who are dismayed by the changes in the National Park. We are fortunate to have such a beautiful place to visit. It is sacred. Let’s keep it that way.

Pat Isaacs, Peregian Beach.

HE’S IN LUCK I must be living a charmed life.

LENSCAPE

THE EPIDEMIC Like any epidemic, it always starts with just one.

I refer to the Scott Ludlum discovery that he wasn’t eligible to walk the halls of parliament. Then suddenly within a couple of weeks some parliamentarians were rushing around like chooks with their heads cut off looking at their birth certificates and immigration papers.

There’s panic and suggestions the Constitution has to be altered to prevent this from happening again. It states you have to renounce your heritage if you want to serve the country you have chosen to make your own. The same country that adopted you at a civil ceremony and gave you a certificate as proof, no longer carries any weight to hold a position of power in parliament.

What other careers or positions will be made out of bounds once the policy deciders have been given the right to amend the Constitution? This rule has been in place since the Constitution was written - how come it’s only now some politicians have been caught out?

To become an Australian you now have to pass an oral English test. Why not an oral Australian test? The unique Australian lingo is recognised around the world as shown by those in other countries who try to copy it.

Do we want to have g’day mate change to g’day bro?

Take a quick look and listen to the various dialects of England and pick the one you want in this English test. Even the Queen, who speaks eloquently has a job understanding some of the dialects.

Maybe someone has illusions of creating a unique Australian race. That’s been tried before in another period of history.

Now our pollies want a four-year term.

That probably makes sense, but some of them should not be there now as we now find out.

Every term of parliament over the last 10 years for the public has been like harvesting.

Unfortunately a lot of chaff still keeps getting through. Four years of chaff in the system takes a lot of unclogging.

E. Wright, Sunrise Beach.

OVER THE MARK I feel that the Noosa Council has overstepped its boundaries. As a council it has come out in favour of same sex marriage. My council represents me as a ratepayer and yet I was never asked my opinion by my councillor. There was never any referendum by the council on whether it was right for them to take this decision. I believe there is quite a possibility that the majority of ratepayers, like me, would vote against the council taking such a position.

On the issue, same sex marriage proponents call it “marriage equality”. That’s all we ever hear. But there are many issues with same sex marriage, such as the fact that children of such unions will go without the stabilising influence of a mum or a dad. Or a grandma or a grandpa. For example, how is a boy who grows up without a mother going to know how to treat women properly as he grows? And what about health effects and couple break-downs which are much more prominent in same-sex unions. But people seem to ignore these issues in their cry for

Jeremy Cottrell from Lake Macdonald sent in this photo of a dragonfly perched on the tip of an agave by the swimming pool, claiming its dominant location with its spittle. Send your snaps in to Lenscape at newsdesk@ noosatoday.com.au “marriage equality”.

Don’t call me a homophobe or a gay-hater.

I am not. I happen to believe that true marriage as it has stood for thousands of years is the best for men and women and society and for children. And I want to be able to voice my opinion on this without being vilified.

Sydney Evans, (suburb withheld on request).

HEIGHTS OF RIDICULOUSNESS Dear Dom Massoni, Are you a lover of past classics? Your letter in Noosa Today suggests so. I think that you may have shown a wonderful ability to add some extra prose to Alice in Wonderland.

Your comparison of the SCC to the NSC reaches a level of ridiculousness that Lewis Carroll would applaud.

Sekisui, no doubt, would support your sentiments without any need to see through the looking glass.

Bruce Stitz, (A keen observer of fact and fantasy on the Sunshine Coast for the last 38 years), Marcus Beach.

SAME-SEX MARRIAGE I have written personally as an independent councillor to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten and Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien to make them aware of Noosa Council’s recent motion on marriage equality and to request that the Australian Government and parliament take immediate steps to change the Marriage Act to incorporate marriage equality.

Since being elected to the council, I have

consistently supported the shire’s LGBTI community and in May I arranged a meeting between a local LGBTI group and interested councillors to discuss marriage equality.

This culminated in Noosa Council unanimously agreeing to formally support an Australian Local Government Association resolution calling on: “the Federal Government and the Federal Parliament 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 same-sex couples.”

I am proud that Noosa Council has taken this stand and demonstrated that Noosa Shire is an inclusive community.

My own family’s experience of the Holocaust in WWII makes me particularly aware of the importance of non-discriminatory government policy. My grandfather died at Theresienstadt concentration camp at the hands of the Nazis and my own father was incarcerated in labour camps. My family knows what it means to be discriminated against.

While I understand the issue of marriage equality is subject to federal legislation, it carries powerful resonances in local communities and it is my strong belief that all levels of government have a duty to support their communities and advocate for them even if they have no direct decision-making authority.

I decided to add my voice to that of many other Australians in making our federal politicians aware of Noosa Council’s resolution.

The REIQ quarterly rental vacancy rate data for the June quarter has revealed Noosa boasts a healthy market while inner-city Brisbane is experiencing a tightening indicating recovery is on the cards.

Brisbane LGA vacancy rate fell from 3.7 per cent in the March quarter to 3.3 per cent, moving from the weak to healthy range. Inner Brisbane, which is overwhelmingly dominated by apartments, fell from its all-time high of 4.4 per cent in March to 3.5 per cent in the June quarter.

REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said Brisbane’s inner city tightening vacancy rate was a good indicator about the health of the market in the inner city.

“Brisbane’s inner city is showing resilience, with the balance of landlords and tenants relatively equal for the June quarter,” she said.

“At 3.5 per cent, the REIQ classifies this market as healthy and this is when both tenants and landlords have reasonable expectations of their needs being met.

“We know that the population growth and jobs in the south-east corner are, so far, sufficient to absorb the level of apartment supply coming onto the rental market.

“The market has an unswerving ability to self-correct. In the first quarter of 2015, 2300 new apartments came

IT’S HIGH VOLTAGE

ROCK ’N’ ROLL You’ve seen all the claims. The ultimate, the biggest, Australia’s number one and so on. Well, we’re here to tell you “you ain't seen nothin'" unless you’ve seen Acca Dacca.

Acca Dacca is AC/DC reincarnated.

Not a tribute not a cover band this is a full blown show. The boys are back in town and will rock the roof off the Noosa Heads Surf Club this Saturday night.

What will you take home from a night with Acca Dacca?

Just the feeling that you’ve just witnessed AC/DC. Not only at present

but the AC/DC of the Bon Scott era as well, covering the early days of High Voltage - Highway to Hell and the best of the Brian Johnson era from Back in Black to the present day.

This is a monster of a show ... see for yourself.

Acca Dacca replicate with precision not only the hard rock music of AC/DC note for note but front man Larry caps the show off with passionate vocals that you would mistake for Bon Scott himself. Switching to Brian Johnson isn’t a problem for this seasoned

performer as he belts out classics from the 'Back in Black' album to 'Black Ice'.

Brian would be proud to hear himself replicated with such precision and passion.

The Acca Dacca show is performed with a mega 25,000 watts of sound and a huge lighting rig plus special effects which make Acca Dacca look and most importantly - sound like AC/DC themselves.

The band's success is taking them overseas later on in the year to tour through Euprope. Band members Larry

Attard - vocals, Jesse Attard - lead guitar, Brad Simmons - rhythm guitar, Ian Graham - bass, and Darren Antoci drums, come so close to the real thing, even AC/DC themselves give them a big thumbs up.

“If you can’t see AC/DC, see Acca Dacca," quote: Angus Young.

Acca Dacca performs this Saturday night 5 August, at 9pm at the Noosa Heads Surf Club. Tickets are only $15 at www.noosasurfclub.com.au ●

I’m Going to Lose Some Friends Over This, by Samuel Osmond

Raskit, by Dizzee Rascal

Dunkirk (M) Starring: Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh, Harry Styles

We all at times feel lost, isolated and and angry. Teenage angst doesn’t help a lot either. From getting stuck naked in an elevator to being on stage in front of thousands, Samuel James Osmonds book 'I’m Going to Lose Some Friends Over This' is an internally struggling boy’s purest form of honesty, however brutal or ugly it may be.

His words are tales and lessons learned as an over-confidently insecure boy attempting to navigate through life’s oddly cruel yet beautiful circumstances. He dives deep through topics such as depression, death, religion, social responsibility love and the reasons for which he lives. ●

When Dizzee Rascal first graced our ears nearly 15 years ago, he was a breath of change: not American, but still authentic; street smarts and pop sensibilities (after all, your older brother can still rap all the verses of Fix Up, Look Sharp).

That he has matured into a Calvin Harris courting, Ibiza holidaymaker is a disappointment to some. Raskit proves this is lazy criticism.

Space is a tour de force: a reminder about Dizzee’s technical aptitude, charisma and ability to bottle fury. Wot U Gonna Do? is big, unbridled braggadocio.

The Other Side and Slow Your Roll are similarly monstrous, products of the Dizzee we came to know and love. Here, Dizzee’s back. It’s a refreshing thought. ●

Believe the hype - Dunkirk really is that good. Seldom will you see an audience so engaged.

It’s both an epic and a classic - dominated by director Christopher Nolan’s sparse, bleak, austere style.

From the opening scenes, he creates an overwhelming sense of gloom and defeat, as a shattered British Army has the Germans to its front and the sea to its back.

And no matter how often they look over their shoulders and say they can almost see home ... it’s not the same as being there.

If you only see one film this year, best make it this one. ●

TRIOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S OFFERS DINNER WITH MORE

BY HOLLIE HARRIS Trioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant has been in the spotlight recently and for good reason.

With an invigorated desire to create a vibrant nightlife, owners Romain Veneault and Geoff Cohen are working hard to make their dream come true.

Romain always wanted to own a spectacular bar. His degree in hospitality and five years as a French cuisine chef is now taking the events reigns. His vision is bring cabaret back to the mainstream and

hopes the community will embrace the traditional 'dinner and a show' evenings beginning on 12 August.

Trioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prides itself on changing up the menu with the seasons and offering customers a truly unique and special dining experience.

Preparing smoked pork on the premises surely sets them apart from the crowd and if you know a bit about barbecuing and smoking, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know there are no shortcuts to this process.

Aussies love their meat and many believe that the only pure and true way to achieve the best barbecue possible is by smoking it. The blue gum permeates and leaves a distinctive smell, which is hard to describe, almost sweet, and musky. This labourintensive process is worth every moment once you taste the end result on your plate.

Geoff brings his extensive skills to the table from owning the famous Bannisters Lodge, circa â&#x20AC;&#x2122;91, which is now owned by world-renowned chef Rick Stein. He adds owning Christelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Milton to his success list after winning the Best Country Restaurant award back in the 1980s and the old Trioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the Noosa River in the '90s this restaurant stuff is in Geoff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood.

Trioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s can be found in the South Pacific Resort on Weyba Road. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BYO, which means you can cart along your favourite wine and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t charge corkage, which is almost unheard of in these parts.

Sit at the bar from 4pm and let the crackling fire lull you into a winter dream and perhaps Romain will play a few tunes on the grand piano if you ask. â&#x2014;?

SALTED CARAMEL SESAME COOK CACAO BITES

FINISHED TO PERFECTION

BY HOLLIE HARRIS We love a meaty share plate from Wood Fire Grill, and the best side to any meaty dish is the good old potato.

It’s no surprise that Wood Fire Grill’s Wagyu Roasted Potatoes are one of the most popular sides to accompany their delicious share boards, so we thought we’d ask head chef Marcus Denby to share some insight as to why these crispy gems are oh, so tasty.

Chef Marcus was happy to share that he uses chat potatoes and thinly slices them, stopping three-quarters of the way through the potato so there are a series of cuts across the top of the potato.

This allows for the goodness of the wagyu juices and fresh herbs to soak through and flavour the potatoes beautifully.

Topped with fresh rosemary and thyme, the potatoes are then roasted in beef fat, which at Wood Fire Grill is made from NSW Rangers Valley wagyu rump and sirloin. The juices from the beef are rendered down and passed through a fine filter to give a clear golden fat ready to roast with.

They are then are baked in a hot oven until golden brown, crispy and cooked to perfection. The wagyu fat gives a meaty flavour to the potato along with making them super crispy, while the fresh herbs, butter and garlic intensify the creamy texture of the chat potatoes.

Crispy golden perfection at Wood Fire Grill.

Topped with a healthy spoonful of herbs and garlic butter, the potatoes are then ready to enjoy. If your mouth is now watering and

your stomach rumbling, pop in to Wood Fire Grill for dinner or lunch on Sunday and try these for yourself. ●

Try this super delicious and healthy choccie treat.

INGREDIENTS · 500g medjool dates, pitted, chopped. · 75g (1/4 cup) hulled tahini. · 1 tablespoon coconut oil. · 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. · 55g (1/3 cup) sesame seeds, toasted. · Sea salt, extra, to sprinkle.

CACAO DIP · 35g (1/3 cup) raw cacao powder. · 75g (1/3 cup) solidified coconut oil. · 60ml (1/4 cup) maple syrup.

METHOD 1: Grease base and sides of a 21cm x 9cm (base measurement) loaf pan and line with baking paper, allowing sides to overhang.

2: Process dates in a food processor until finely chopped. Add tahini, oil and salt.

Process until well combined and smooth.

Transfer to a bowl. Stir in sesame seeds.

Spoon into prepared pan. Smooth surface.

Place in fridge for four hours or until firm.

3: Line two baking trays with baking paper.

Remove sesame mixture from pan. Use a hot, dry knife to cut into squares. Place on a prepared tray and place in fridge.

4: For cacao dip, place all ingredients in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Cook, stirring, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Set aside for two minutes to cool slightly.

5: Use two forks to turn caramels in cacao dip to coat. Drain off excess. Return to prepared tray. Place in fridge for 10 minutes or until set. Repeat with remaining cacao dip (reheating if necessary) to double coat, placing on remaining prepared tray. Leave until almost set. Sprinkle with a little extra salt. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

The wholefoods trend has taken the food world by storm.

These days, it’s commonplace to see the words fermented, Kombucha, organic and slow food popping up on menus, signs and labels. The trend has made it clear that it’s here to stay as we become more mindful about our inner health and how our bodies work at their optimum.

Food has become more than just about taste. The importance of what we put into our bodies and how it affects our health from digestion and weight to our wellbeing and quality of life is at the forefront of how we buy food nowadays.

Local small businesses are investing their hearts and souls into producing foods which are genuinely nourishing.

Lenni Semmelink and Shaw KamadaLaws share one of these businesses together as well two young children.

Nourishing Wholefoods was once known as The Happy Sprout. After the long process to become certified, Lenni and Shaw's business grew faster than they were able to produce their bottled goodness.

“We’ve introduced a bunch of new products and some exciting plans for the future. We are committed to limiting this growth because we believe in the value of local food, local economies and a healthy lifestyle,” the couple say.

FOCUS ON … Noosa Chic

THEY'RE OH SO STYLISH

BY HOLLIE HARRIS You may have noticed that Noosa women seem to be more stylish than usual lately.

Specialisng in styles using layers of beautiful fabrics, Zephyr Lounge Wear in Noosaville pride themselves on creating quality garments made from fabrics such are pure linen, pure silk and organic cotton.

Their beautiful designs take women through all ages and stages of life, with a focus on feminine classic pieces that will be worn and loved for many years.

Their designers love to work with the silhouette, which is then layered over the top, which is ideal for curvy body types with draping effects to cover the bumps.

All of their garments are designed locally and are available from size XS to XXXL. Based in the Eumundi Square for the last 11 years, Zephyr Lounge Wear also has a strong online presence selling to women from all around the world.

They moved their factory and warehouse to Noosaville earlier this year, which has a beautiful showroom at the front of the building.

The perfect space to design, sew and sell from, Zephyr Lounge Wear’s new home suits them to a tee.

Drop in and have a cup of tea with the team and experience their beautiful range of garments at 50 Mary Street, Noosaville. ●

Ways to update your work look Every day is a good day to style it up, even for work! To put that extra spring in your step on a work day, here’s a few simple ways to brighten up your look.

1

Match your pout to your pumps.

Who says you can’t be playful and professional? Inject some colour into your look by matching your lip colour to your shoes. Yes, that means add some vibrant shoes into your rotation at work and colour to your face. ●

2

Swap the cardi for a fantastic coat.

We all fall prey to work cardi its easy and comfy ... and its time to ditch it and invest in a stylish, trademark coat and throw it over everything. Instantly fabulous. ●

3

Challenge yourself - no black Ban black for a day and introduce some airy florals to your work wardrobe for a bright, fresh look.

Avoid falling into the black trap for work - you know how good it feels in something colourful. ●

FOCUS ON â&#x20AC;Ś Health, Wellness & Beauty

EYES OPEN TO SLEEP TRAINING You might be familiar with the term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sleep trainingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; - itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a technique parents use to teach their babies how to sleep through the night, but, we should all treat sleep as we do training.

Whether your exercise MO is running or reformer, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely you have some sort of routine in place that helps you get the most out of your session, from warm up to cool down.

A satisfying shut-eye session can be hard to come by, which is why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time we start treating our rest with the same vigorous detail as we do our workout schedule.

Here, Professor David Hillman, chair of the Sleep Health Foundation, opens our eyes on how to better keep them shut.

Start with a warm up Serious preparation should occur half an hour to an hour before you intend to nod off, Prof Hillman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to get the bedroom environment right - this includes sound, lighting and room temperature and remove all distractions, including your phone and social media after a certain point.

I also wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recommend having a TV in the bedroom, but some people watch it to wind down, and it can be okay before bed, unless the content is particularly violent or rousing.â&#x20AC;?

Start gaining momentum After youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put yourself in the right mindset, establish the pace and tone of your sleep, as you would at the start of your sweat session. This stage is all about comfort, Prof Hillman said, so if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a pillow hugger or a fiend for fortresses (just us, then?), nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time to indulge yourself.

Feel the deep burn So far so good? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to reach your peak level of intensity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you prepared well, a deep sleep will occur as a matter of ease,â&#x20AC;?

Prof Hillman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most adults between the ages of 20-35 need 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep a night, and, like any routine, after a point your brain will do it for you.â&#x20AC;?

The cool down ¡ Yes, waking up can certainly be a come

down, but if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve slept well, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel invigorated (not to mention, a little smug) throughout the day. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slept well youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be, in no hyperbolic terms, a mess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People tend to short-change

themselves when it comes to sleeping, because they regard it as a waste of time.

But we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change physiology, and if you short-change your sleep, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shortchange yourself.â&#x20AC;? â&#x2014;?

1

Exquisite (yet affordable) Sheets Nice sheets can make an astounding difference in the comfort level of your bed, and the quality of your sleep. High thread counts and luxurious materials are certainly wonderful if you have the budget to splurge. â&#x2014;?

2

Cooling Pillow If flipping your pillow over to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;coolâ&#x20AC;? side gives you great peace and comfort throughout the night, then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d likely enjoy this cooling pillow. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to wake up and flip your pillow to get comfortable because this one stays nice and cool without any effort or lost rest on your part. â&#x2014;?

3

White Noise Machine If you tend to have trouble relaxing before bedtime or sleep restlessly at night, then a white noise machine can be very soothing, calming, and help you drift to sleep more peacefully each night. â&#x2014;?

GOOD WIN FOR NOOSA CROQUET

BY DOUG MCCONNELL NOOSA CROQUET The Sunshine Coast competition for the Nell Hass Shield in the ricochet form of croquet has only a few rounds to go.

Noosa hosted Caloundra and defeated the visitors winning two games to one and taking a total of 53 hoops to the visitors 45.

Individual game scores with Noosa

players listed first. John Olsen defeated Paul Brown 26:17; Niven Gugich won handily over Kerry Helmrich 19:9; and in the doubles John Olsen paired with Sharon O’Toole and fell to Caloundra’s Paul Brown and Kerry Helmrich 8:19.

In the association form of croquet, Noosa travelled to Caloundra, competing for the Lockwood Shield in the last game of the

season. Noosa finished in second place overall with Nambour winning the Shield.

Noosa lost badly with Caloundra winning both singles and the doubles for a total of 0:3 in games and 31 hoops to 73.

The individual results were Brian Rudd lost to Helen Matchett 9:26; John Olsen fared little better going down to Mike Bertram 13:26.

In the doubles Brian and John went down to Helen and Leigh Sampson 9:21.

Association is an older form of croquet and players compete solo on the court until one makes a mistake and the competing player gets a turn. He or she then has to sit again on making the first error. Noosa players did a lot of sitting in this match, a sad way to end the season. ●

LUKE A DRAGON STAR

BY TIM NURSE EUMUNDI JUNIOR DRAGONS On Saturday the Under 10s Dragons played Maroochydore and it was an early 8am start at Caloundra. The first half was a slow start and the Dragons did leak some points.

In the second half an encouraging sign was a real team effort, not from just one or two players, but everyone. This extra effort resulted in a couple of tries which were well deserved.

It was incredibly difficult to pick the players of the day and most improved. Luke Townsend was the Dragons' player of the match with an outstanding show of attack and defence.

Makaya Townsend for her commitment at the breakdown and all round grit and determination was awarded the Encouragement Award.

Well played Dragons - great effort from everyone! ● noosatoday.com.au

PIRATES LEAD THE CHARGE - ARRRRR!

BY TRACI HOZIER NOOSA JUNIOR PIRATES UNDER 7 BLUE It was a beautiful Saturday morning as the Pirates headed down the highway to Caboolture for a battle with the Snakes.

It was a great game atmosphere and there was some great sportsmanship between the teams and the Under 7s put in their best defensive effort of the season so far.

Ollie was named captain for some great tackling technique at training on Thursday and he carried it through on the field with a great defensive effort and running hard up the middle. Seth continues to grow each game with and without the ball and grabbed another try for the tally.

Spence and Jacob both bagged a few tries and had some brave tackles, Axel carried the ball well and tackled hard playing against his cousin, and Lachy made some great carries and tackled hard.

But it was Conner who took home the Man of the Match honours with an amazing tackling display and some damaging runs up the middle.

UNDER 9 BLUE Under 9 Blue boys pulled up their socks and took to the field oozing team spirit.

Tait was captain for the game and led the charge to see a try from Rhy right out of the gate pushing through the big Caboolture front line.

That only geared the team up for the try of the year from Bailey with Hayden kicking through a grubber kick about to go dead when Bailey jumped on it and scored.

Bailey was on fire also scoring the last try of the day with a dummy pass to get him over the line. Clancy and Rhy were the stand out men out wide running the ball all day with Clancy also getting the ball over the line in the first half.

Lachie pulled on the DH shirt again with pride making sure his team-mates got

The Pirates had a great weekend on the fields for Round 12. the ball swiftly to set up great runs up the middle for Sam who was pivotal in the set up of Tait’s try.

Cooper - one of the Dragons' tackling machines - was all heart tackling the big Caboolture team and after some quick

stepping, chalked up another try for the year.

A big thank you to Hayden for filling in, some awesome running from you. Again, hard to pick Man of the Match each week with all players playing so well and with

such team spirit and love of the Pirate shirt, but Clancy - who had a ripper of a game takes the trophy this week.

Thanks for another great week of footy Matt we couldn’t do it without you as our coach. ●

EAGLES SHOWING THEIR DETERMINATION

BY BEK PETRIE NOOSA EAGLES It was all about determination for Eagles little Under 6 Black team this week.

They all played extremely well, communicating with each other the whole game.

There were some huge kicks coming from Emily, great defence from Eli who was with the ball the entire game, and Charlie also played outstanding defence. Max was so determined to get a goal this game with some fantastic kicks, missing only by millimetres. Goal shooters were Isaac, Myles and Zach, with Zach being given player of the match for playing so well. The final score was 4-0. Well done Under 6!

An exciting game for the Eagkes Under 9 Black team with 7-7 a draw against Caloundra Green. As goals were being scored constantly from both sides, every player fought hard for the win.

Congratulations to Kallum for receiving player of the match.

The Under 10 Noosa Black had a fantastic game against Buderim last Saturday.

Both Buderim and Noosa had many attempts at goal but the solid defence and fantastic goal keeping saw the teams fighting hard to score. A final score of 1-1 really didn’t reflect the effort from both teams. noosatoday.com.au

Myles Rollason kicks it hard for the Under 6s.

Buderim scored in the first half, but never to be defeated, Noosa came back with some fantastic teamwork that saw Alaska

Rozenkranz shoot a magnificent goal.

Some big kicks again this week from Joel Mackay-Black held Noosa in good stead and

encouraged the team to work hard until the final hooter. Well done, Under 10 Noosa Black. ●

MORE WINS GIVE LOCAL BOXERS PUNCH

BY RON LANE To say that the last month has been good for our local boxing fraternity, both amateur and professional, would have to be an understatement.

First, our two professionals Casey Caswell and Jackson King have continued their start in the paid ranks with convincing wins.

Then Ella Boot, the sensational teenage amateur schoolgirl boxer, stunned the boxing world when she won the Gold Medal at the Bahamas Youth Commonwealth Games.

For this attractive, quite unassuming young lady, her career has been nothing short of sensational. Having just returned from a tour of the UK and Europe where she fought as a member of the Future Female Australian Team, she arrived home with a record of three fights for three wins; all wins being against national champions from both

the UK and Europe.

Prior to her trip overseas, Ella already had a list of championships to her credit that would turn any fighter green with envy.

Among her list of titles are the Queensland Championships, the Golden Gloves and the Australian Nationals.

On the international level she won the Hull Cup, Harnisey Cup, both UK titles and in Hungary won the International Wild Cats Tournament.

However Ella, who started her sporting career as an Under 8 Noosa Nipper, had her first introduction to combat sport when, at eight years of age, she went along with a friend and joined the Budokan Karate club in Noosaville.

Finally, after many long years of hard disciplined training and competing, Ella took temporary retirement from the art with the grading of Black Belt 2nd Dan. “I realise now that the strict discipline and mental training of karate was a big help

when I was learning to box. It gave me a big start as well as lots of self-confidence.”

Ella is just one of the many amateur champions, state and national, who have learned to box under Coach Mark Evans at the now famous Impact Boxing Academy Cooroy.

“Right from the very start I could see she had something special. Now with 20 fights for 20 wins - one being the Commonwealth Gold Medal - we know she definitely has a big future,” Evans said.

Training out at Noosa Box Office under coach Israel Kani, himself a former national champion, both fighters travelled to Melbourne where fighting on the preliminary cards at the Melbourne Pavilion, they created a double when both fighters scored convincing wins stopping their opponents in the first round; for Casey it was a KO win and Jackson a TKO. Following this, Kani received offers for more fights at the Pavilion for both men.

As a result, despite just recovering from a backyard injury to his right shoulder, Jackson will next weekend fight at the Pavilion against Shane Hasler. It should be a good test for Jackson as Hasler has a record of 3 fights 3 wins - two by KO. As for Casey there will be no fights in the near future as he recovers from a cut eye.

This is the cut that he received in his Noosa bout and was reopened during his win in Melbourne.

“Both boys impressed the promoter Brian Amatruda who is the owner of the Melbourne Pavilion, and as a result if they keep performing more fights are certain,” Kani said.

A major factor in professional boxing is to establish a good working relationship between the fight coach and the major promoter. When this occurs a safe financial future is assured and the possibilities of a mismatch fight becomes rare. ●

RORY MCINTYRE STARS FOR FINS

THE FEED

BY LUCY WHITEHILL NOOSA DOLPHINS JUNIORS UNDER 9 Noosa Fins 60 def Mathew Flinders 30 A wet ball after a heavy dew was no barrier to the Fins as the score sheet began to tick. Ethan, Serena and James worked hard, not a backward step producing quality ball. Charlie and CJ controlled the play nicely from their respective halves while putting on some hard earned points.

Harry ran a lovely angle to cross and Wilko handed a lesson on how to stir up the chalk with a one-handed touch down. Richie tackled well with a couple of magic straight runs and Phoenix again took the ball up with a nice pop to his mate Rory. Jaxon put the foot to the floor on several occasions

and combined well with his outside backs.

Domino's Player of the Match: Rory McIntyre.

Noosa White 45 def Grammar 15 It was a beautiful, crisp winter’s morning on the rugby pitch at Sunshine Coast Grammar School where the Noosa Whites headed into enemy territory. The temperature rose quickly as the Noosa Whites ran in six tries in the first half to Grammar's two. The Noosa White team did not disappoint in the second half as they scored three tries to Grammar's one.

The Noosa Whites showed exceptional sportsmanship and have really gelled as a cohesive team.

“We built a proper retaining wall. We brought in some sandstone from Gympie and some Mary River gravel, and built a rocky creek with a solar-powered pump,” he said.

Landcare brought in trees which were planted and a new sand pit was constructed.

LIFE OF BRINE

PHIL JARRATT

A couple of grainy old Noosa line-ups from an earlier trek in 1972. Crowded Nationals and empty Granite on the same day.

National Park.

ON THE

BOOK STUMP

The Australian Longboard Titles start today at Cabarita on the Tweed Coast, and Noosa Malibu Club has a record number of surfers qualified for the Nats. With some great surfers representing, we should see some trophies coming home.

Back row, left to right: Kirra Molnar, Nelly St Baker, Emily Lethbridge, Nick Brewer, Dippy St Baker, Zac Brewer and Jade Gower. Front row: Craig Davies, Ian Borland, Mick Corcoran, Glen Gower, Wally Allen, Hayden Swan and Kristy Quirk.

AGAIN The surf memoir I published this week is my 36th book in just over 40 years, so you’d think I’d be used to the drill by now.

But in fact it’s always a little embarrassing to stand up in front of a group and start spruiking your wares ... until you get into the swing of it again, that is. I’ll be in fine storytelling form by next Thursday, when we launch Life of Brine (the book version) at Halse Lodge, I can promise you.

I hope everyone will come along, but here’s a story I may not get around to.

Straight out of the book, recalling a time 45 years ago, while working as a political reporter, I escaped the Canberra winter to catch a swell in Noosa - Canberra was getting cold, freaking cold, when suddenly after a long parliamentary session I found I had five days off for time in lieu. It was late in the season for a Coral Sea low, this much I knew, but the national weather map in The Australian clearly showed one moving west from a position north of Fiji. Its trajectory indicated that southern Queensland would feel its impact in about three days.

When the Houses of Parliament got up for the winter recess very late the following night, I headed not for the Non-Members Bar, but for my Beetle.

I climbed onto the front and pissed the

frost off the windscreen, picked up my surfboard, sleeping bag, wetsuit, and a box of food from my flat in Campbell, and hit the road.

Somewhere out on the freezing plains of the Newell or Olympic Highway, I pulled off the road and slept for a couple of hours, then drove hard all of the next day, pulling into the car park at Noosa National Park about an hour before dark. Nothing. Nada. Flat as.

There were a few carloads of surfers sitting around, drinking beers and moping.

I walked along the track until I could see dots off Tea Tree Bay where a few hopefuls sat in wait in the bleak, grey afternoon. This was my first impulsive surf trip, driven purely by my own forecast, and there was nothing.

I was monumentally depressed, but too tired to turn around and drive the twenty-two hours back. Instead I drove up Noosa Hill to the pub, where I sat by a red brick wall and drank schooners of Castlemaine beer while I read my book, Germaine Greer’s The Female Eunuch, a gift (perhaps tongue-in-cheek) from a Canberra girlfriend. It did nothing to lighten my mood.

I was woken from an uneasy sleep in my car when the large pebbles on the shoreline below started to rumble.

I climbed out and saw in the moonless dark, lines of whitewater rolling to shore where there’d been none ten hours before.

I could sense more power in the ocean. The swell was coming. I got back in the car and pulled the sleeping bag over me, but I didn’t sleep. At the first sign of pre-dawn I waxed my board and made my way along the track to the top of the point. I launched myself off the flat rock between sets and paddled into a scrum of surfers already waiting.

We nodded and smiled in anticipation.

It was another hit and run on Noosa’s points - more than two days on the highway for a mere day and a half of actual surfing but it was worth every pothole and kangaroo dodge. On my way out of town I picked up a surfer hitch-hiking at Cooroy.

We babbled so much about the quality of the waves that I drove him out of my way to the Gold Coast. Then I babbled to myself until I was west of the Divide and drawing a straight line back to the cold heart of the capital.

There was one wave I couldn’t get out of my mind afterwards. I’d taken off just inside what we now call the Boiling Pot (if it was called that in 1972, no-one had told me).

I turned hard to make the first section, but the wave grew as it curved into the

bay, and the fast-breaking section just kept coming at me, the power of the breaking wave threatening to fling me from my board, but letting me just squeak through, again and again.

As I drove along the plains, I found myself leaning into the gentle bends of the empty night highway, still riding the wave, still beating the sections.

The launch party for Life of Brine: a Surfer’s Journey will be held at Halse Lodge from 6pm, Thursday 10 August. Live music with Band of Frequencies’ OJ and Shannon Unplugged, plus video and author talk. Admission price of $20 includes welcome drink and finger food.

Tickets available from Annie’s Books, anniesbooks@bigpond.com, phone 5448 2053, or at the door.

FOOTNOTE: As this column went to press, word came through of the tragic death of Garth Prowd. As well as everything else he squeezed into a life cut way too short, Garth was a keen and committed surfer. It was a privilege to work with him and his team at USM in creating the 2008 Noosa Festival of Surfing, but beyond the professional relationship, I knew Garth as a man of great integrity and great heart. He will be sorely missed. ● 12352455-LB20-17

GYMKHANA FUN FOR 100 ENTRANTS More than 100 competitors are expected to take part in one of the area’s largest gymkhanas hosted by the Pomona Pony Club on 6 August.

Club executives, proud parents and gymkhana co-ordinators, Cameron and Cathy Magick, said the gymkhana will consist of fourteen age groups.

“Each of those age groups will be competing in 10 events with ribbons to sixth place in each event, and overall point trophies to fourth place in each age group,” Cathy said.

“In addition to our competitive fourteen age groups, we have a non-competitive led and beginner group for those riders not yet competent enough to ride with speed and participate against their experienced counterparts.”

To encourage each individual’s riding ability, every led and beginner rider will receive a ribbon for every event they complete and a trophy at the end of the day.

Located within the Pomona Showgrounds, the not-for-profit club has about 50 members with most of their support coming from parents and instructors who give their energy and time freely.

The pony club received a welcome boost of $1000 from the Pomona Community Bank branch of Bendigo Bank last week and there will be more fundraising at the gymkhana.

Cathy said when everyone gets hungry on 6 August there will be delicious food available all day from the canteen including Pomona Pony Club’s famous ’Cameron Burger’.

For more information phone Cathy on 0429 851 850. ●

HOOK, LINE & SINKER

MANGROVE JACK

WINTER IS THE TIME TO FOCUS ON SNAPPER This is the time of the year that we really tend to focus our efforts on those cool water reef species.

Snapper, sweetlip, tuskies, pearl perch and cobia are all species we will target at this time of the year.

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

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

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

The deeper reefs like Chardon’s, North Reef, Barwon banks and Double Island are all producing larger snapper and pearl perch.

Another way to bag hungry reef fish are large soft plastic fished hard to the reef.

A couple of tips when using soft plastics - use the lightest jig head to get you to the bottom, make sure you plastic is rigged straight, use braided fishing line and keep in contact with the lure.

Bait is also a mainstay for a lot of anglers, floater rigs with large pillies and yakkas work well, while good local squid and flesh baits are perfect for the bottom bouncers.

The Noosa River has to be one of the best systems in south east Queensland to fish at the moment, with the deeper section very productive as the predators feed on bait on the incoming tide. noosatoday.com.au

Andy Takats with a couple of prize snapper.

On these cool mornings we have seen over the past couple of weeks, plenty of rods have been bent over as large schools of tailor and trevally move into the river.

These fish are taking a wide variety of baits and lures with anglers having a lot of success with slugs and soft plastics.

A big cast and medium to fast retrieve see these slugs looking for all the world like a fleeing baitfish which is chocolate to a predatory fish.

Soft plastic can be worked in a similar fashion with paddle tail plastic working best.

Upriver things have also be firing with nice sized flathead on the run out tide.

There are some sensational paddle vibes on the market at the moment so try the brighter colours like the reds and pinks in the dirty water with the more natural

NOOSA WEATHER FORECAST

colours in the clearer water.

Flathead being an ambush predator will half bury themselves in the sand in order to disguise their presence, as the soft plastic is pulled past their nose they can’t help but have a crack.

School jew have also been inhabitant of the same area and will quite often be a bycatch when you are fishing for flatties.

Whiting have also been plentiful with some nice elbow slappers taken around the Dog Beach and the Frying Pan. Worms and yabbies have been the prime baits.

On the beach it’s all about the tailor, with the start of the migration to the north the Sunshine Coast coastline has a couple of real hotspots, to the south the area around Pincushion Island on the Maroochy North Shore is really firing, a little further up the entrance to Stummers Creek just north of Coolum is also a great spot to try.

The Noosa North Shore is possibly one of the best spots with its proximity to Fraser Island, with the area north of Teewah is a real haven.

Look for those deep gutters with the best fish caught on the incoming tide early morning or late evening.

Baits like large pillies, fresh mullet strips and locally caught squid should see good results.

Bream, whiting and large dart are also on offer so don’t forget those smaller baits like worms and prawns and whitebaits.

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