THIS WEEK WE’RE TALKING ABOUT… FOUR DECADES OF WOODCHOP After 42 years of woodchop, Phil Campbell still holds the sport in which he has won numerous titles in high regard. This week Phil competes at the Brisbane Ekka as a hobby.

The Cooroy builder started woodchop in Perth at the age of 20 when his older brother took up the sport.

As captain of the Australian side he will this week compete against New Zealand.

Over the years, he’s won world and national titles and can “still match it with the best” in cross cut sawing.

Phil’s son Dean, 32, is also on the Australian side and regularly teams up with his dad for the double hand saw.

“There are not too many father and son teams,” Phil said. “That’s an honour.”

Phil said it was very much a family and social-oriented sport. There are plenty of Jack and Jill teams with husbands and wives sawing together and the handicap system which staggers the times competitors begin their chop allows people of all ages to be part of the race.

“We’ve got guys who are 80 years old. It gives those guys a chance to compete and have a win,” he said.

Phil said it was skill not size that mattered when it came to woodchop, but added size did help.

“You don’t have to be a massive bloke. It’s got a lot to do with co-ordination and timing, but if you’re big and strong as well you’re awesome.

He said one member of the Australian team, David Foster, fits the category and was the main man of woodchop for about 30 years.

“He’s a massive bloke and quick and agile.

Phil spends most weekends away at woodchop event and when not competing, his training involves chopping logs.

“You have to use the axe to keep the eye in,” he said.

After the Ekka, Phil will be competing at the Noosa Show. ●

MAYOR CLEARED OF ALLEGATIONS The Crime and Corruption Commission told Noosa mayor Tony Wellington last week complaints about him “could not be substantiated”. A CCC spokesman said the CCC took over the investigation into Cr Wellington in May this year after lengthy inquiries were undertaken by the Queensland Police Service.

“As part of that investigation, Mr Wellington was interviewed by CCC officers,” he said.

“The relevant parties were advised of the outcome in August 2017.”

Cr Wellington said he had received a letter from the CCC, advising that all investigations had concluded, and that no further action would be taken.

“This follows a letter that I wrote to the CCC in April, requesting that the matter be expedited," he said.

WHAT NOOSA NEEDS NOW

Noosa mayor Tony Wellington.

“I always knew the allegations had no substance. The letter provides closure on the matter." ●

A survey of Noosa Council shows it needs to improve in areas including parking, roadworks and employment but is tracking above its provincial counterparts compared with the latest available local government survey results from 2015.

Noosa Council contracted independent researchers Market Pacts to conduct the community satisfaction survey to measure residents’ attitudes and opinions of council, compare results with other local governments and provide data to calculate future priorities. It involved asking 400 Noosa residents a series of questions over the phone about council operations and

services.

Poor performing areas included parking facilities, local employment, road maintenance, road construction, leadership, consulting with the community and responding to the community.

Areas where their service was considered average included environmental and building controls, pet control, town planning and flood mitigation. Top performing services of the council included libraries, waste management, sports and recreational facilities, customer services and parks, playgrounds and public amenities. ●

COVER STORY

art Robert’s studio is nestled into the bushland.

OPENS MANY DOORS

BY HOLLIE HARRIS

R

obRoy McKeown is fixated on colour. Far from his home near Belfast in Northern Ireland, this artist gathers inspiration from the natural beauty of his surroundings to create texture, marks and line which evoke emotion.

Practicing art seriously in Northern Ireland in the mid ’80s, where he began his formal training, seems like a world away for this artist, who now resides in our tranquil Hinterland.

Pursuing his lifelong passion for painting, nestled amongst 50 hectares of rainforest and the Noosa Trail, Rob now spends time in a home built from trees on the block.

“The home was built by my wife Jo, her first husband, and her talented sons,” Rob said.

“My studio is a rustic cottage. Living in the middle of a rainforest, I feel very lucky and blessed. Being surrounded by nature - it’s not hard to be inspired by it,” he said.

As one of the artists opening up his studio for the Noosa Open Studios art trail this weekend, Rob is looking forward to sharing his journey and his art work with the public.

“I very much enjoy the experience of meeting people and having the opportunity to talk with them about my work and to get feedback from the general public. This is not always possible when an artist shows their work in an exhibition,” Rob said.

RobRoy - his first and middle name - was named after his grandfather, Rob and after his Godfather, Roy. With strong connections to his heritage, Rob misses home yet feels blessed to now call Australia home.

“Ireland is a beautiful place and I miss it and my family dearly. For me growing up in my formative teenage years in Northern Ireland in ‘the eighties’ it was like a ‘nuthouse’ with the country having sustained 30 years of troubles.

“The Irish are some of the funniest people in the world but I couldn’t stand the religious bigotry that went on as well as the constant violence,” Rob said.

Working in Juvenile Detention Centres and adult prisons both here and in Ireland, Rob learned to integrate his creative skills into his work to help others.

Explore the beautiful work of Robert McKeown as he opens his space up to the public.

While in one his roles at Port Phillip Prison, Melbourne, a student who showed Rob how to throw a clay pot properly was an underworld figure who featured on television’s ‘Underbelly’ series.

“The Adult Prison Art Classes were some of my best teaching experiences,” Rob said.

“I worked with an extensive range of A category class prisoners from murderers, rapists, armed robbers to corporate crime. The stories that they shared were really quite incredible.

“One of my success stories in prison was to encourage an armed robber to enrol in a Diploma of Art,” Rob said.

Some 19 years ago, Rob began work as an art teacher for ‘at risk’ disadvantaged/disassociated young people, mainly young people who fell out of the mainstream school system. Tapping into each young person’s strengths was the key to helping guide them down a path that didn’t contain crime, police and the inevitable incarceration.

“I have had a wealth of experience of working with them in various institutions whether in prisons, schools, outdoor education settings, community and welfare.

“It can be a very long slow process, where you don’t always see the results of your work,” he said.

One of the young boys Rob worked with in Melbourne in 1996 had been excluded from all schools by age 13.

With poor numeracy and literacy skills Rob saw the potential this boy had with art and encouraged his eye for composing beautiful, colourful images.

“Ten years later when I was visiting Melbourne, a young man skated past, stopped and thanked me for supporting him all those years ago when nobody else would as they simply thought of him as a failure,” Rob said.

“He said he was now working as a set builder in the Princess Theatre in Melbourne.”

Rob still works with young people who need a 24/7 youth worker, helping with everyday life skills, teaching them emotional regulation skills when they have been triggered by past traumatic events.

The aim over time is to get the young people back into secure home-based placement or into semi-independent living with some support and an ultimate goal of independent living.

‘BEING SURROUNDED BY NATURE - IT’S NOT HARD TO BE INSPIRED BY IT’ Rob combines his two passions when he can; working with young people on art pieces, photography, outdoor pursuits and also music.

After learning the guitar when working with some students in 1996, Rob’s pursuit of music had begun. A bit of a Jack of all trades and master of, well, all of them, Rob continued to learn guitar, then the ukulele and most recently, the mandolin.

As part of Jazz band “Me and My Chauffeur”, alongside jazz banjo player John Withers from Cooroibah and Rob’s wife as the lead singer, Rob recently played at the Nambour Winter Jazz Festival with Galapagos Duck.

“We play beautiful, obscure, forgotten melodies from the past and give them a jazz-type interpretation with beautiful vocals from my wife. One tune that we play “Mississippi Rag,” was composed in 1886.

“I absolutely love playing this music and playing in the band. I think the enthusiasm that we bring to the band is infectious for all to see and hear. We seem to get a great response from people of all generations,” Rob said.

With such an energetic lifestyle, Rob finds time to slow down in his studio.

His current work with digital photo paintings explore the boundaries between painting and photography. As the viewer, you are initially led to believe that the works are paintings but soon discover they are not. The works have strong references to fine-art painters from impressionism, abstract expressionism and even sculpture and printmaking.

He will have over 50 artworks hanging on display in his studio for this weekend’s Noosa Open Studio.

“The sharing of stories is probably more inspiring for me than the discussing of the work,” he said.

“I have a large body of work and because I work in the digital medium, they can be quite expensive to produce.

I have numerous matt mounted prints for sale right up to 3.8 metre Panoramas on display and for sale - the smallest pieces being a mere $20,” he said.

Noosa Open Studios is a unique chance to visit Noosa artists in their private studios from the sea to the trees, learn about the artists’ creative processes, see their work and even purchase a work of art to take home from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 August.

Be creatively inspired by painters, ceramicists, mixed media artists and other artisans while driving through the picturesque shire of Noosa, discovering back roads and hidden treasures.

Printed studio guides with maps and details of artists’ studio locations are available through www. noosaopenstudios.com. There will be almost 50 artists and artisans, including RobRoy, welcoming the public into their personal creative space across the Noosa region.

“Opening my studio gives me an opportunity to reveal the stories behind each individual work, which unless I am doing a talk at a gallery, many of the viewing public do not get to hear the initial story or process,” Rob said. ●

NEWS COUNCIL MULLS EROSION MITIGATION MEASURES

Plenty of space for dogs at Noosa Dog Beach where erosion affects the southern sand bar.

DANCING QUEENS BAG STATE TITLE Sunshine Coast Irish dancers have taken away the 2017 Queensland Irish Dancing Championships awards this month, and will travel to Adelaide in September to compete in the Australian championships.

Three Noosa Irish dancers and a fourth girl from Maroochydore represented the state in the competition in Brisbane on 6 August.

Eire Dance Australia teacher Brent Pace said the girls had trained hard all year for the competition which required four dancers to dance in unison to a highly choreographed and challenging routine.

“Competing against nine other teams from the State of Queensland they danced the routine of their life to come away with first place,” he said.

The girls were awarded the Vicki Lynagh Perpetual Trophy and crowned 2017 State

Noosa Council will be asking the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) to seek action from the State Government to formulate a policy on shortterm online letting including airbnbs.

Council this week voted to submit a motion to the LGAQ to consider the growing practice of online rentals at its 2017 annual conference in October.

Mayor Tony Wellington said they would ask them to bring in legislation requiring online booking agencies to provide council with property addresses.

“We need to get a handle on the number of airbnbs and what their addresses are. They are capitalising on the market of Noosa, but not paying the tourism levy,” he said.

Council estimates the number of online agencies offering short-term accommodation to be 2000.

Councillors said while there were economic benefits to the property owner, visitor and the tourism sector through money spent in the area, other aspects might not be so beneficial.

Issues raised included the effects on low cost housing and worker accommodation and increased use of public infrastructure for which no contribution was being made.

Council’s submission to the LGAQ asks that State Government policy includes: “A. Requiring the on-line booking agencies to provide councils with property addresses so that they can appropriately rate the properties and ensure appropriate compliance with town planning scheme requirements; B. Consideration of the long-term impact on local communities including the availability of rental accommodation stock, impact on local amenity and potential impact on existing tourism properties.” ●

Noosa Council has called for further advice from experts before making a decision on measures to mitigate erosion at Noosa Dog Beach on the sand bank that acts as a barrier between Noosa Sound and the river mouth.

Councillor Brian Stockwell said a considerable amount of money had already been spent on making secure the area.

In 2012, council constructed a geotextile sand container groyne and submerged training wall to redirect water flows away from the beach and reduce erosion and sand was placed along the beach to form a sand bar.

Council says the shoreline had receded 11m in the past year- 80 per cent occurred in the past few months- and resulted in erosion, causing undermining of trees and pathways along the beach. ●

BATS HOVER AROUND FOOD

BY MARGARET MACCOLL

12361353-DJ33-17

Bats make bad neighbours. They are smelly, noisy and offensive, but it’s hard not to admire their resilience, adaptability, intelligence and the role only they play in pollinating our native trees, bat expert Dr Les Hall told Noosa U3A on Friday.

“Flying foxes are quite often in the news.

They’re quite good at making a nuisance of themselves,” he said.

There are 26 species of bats living on the Sunshine Coast and 86 across Australia.

There are three species of flying foxes on the Sunshine Coast, and each has a different breeding season.

Dr Hall said because of their continual movement across large distances in search of food and their different breeding seasons, managing them in urban environments was very difficult.

“If you are trying to chase them away and there’s food there, it’s a waste of time,” he said.

“It’s like taking the shops away from people and leaving them without food.”

Dr Hall said flying foxes only stayed in an area where there was food and would have their babies where it was safe and there was food.

“There’s been so many attempts to move them that have failed,” he said.

He said instead of trying to chase or deter them more time should be spent predicting the flowering of plants they ate and providing reserves for them.

Dr Les Hall shows a map of the flying patterns of bats.

Bat Rescue's Terry Ridgeway with bats Benny and Phoebe.

As humans have taken over and destroyed their habitats, bats have been forced to move into urban areas where they have been shot at, netted, electrocuted on powerlines and chased.

“They’ve copped a lot of punishment, but they’re so important to our environment,” he said.

Les said flying foxes were the only species

that pollinated at night when some native plants flower and across distances which maintained the vigour of trees and prevents inbreeding that could cause stunting or disease.

Another misconception about bats was that they transferred Hendra disease to horses. He said bats can contract Hendra, but much research has shown bats do not

transfer the virus to horses.

“It has been 24 years since Hendra was discovered, and we don’t still know where it comes from,” he said.

The Sunshine Coast Bat Rescue volunteers are gearing up to assist bats during the impending summer after thousands died in previous heat events.

Spokeswoman Terri Ridgway said during extreme heat last year female grey headed flying foxes which were an endangered species, spent days flapping their wings to keep their babies cool before dropping dead from exhaustion.

“A member of the public found all these babies on the ground,” she said.

“We had to walk away because we didn’t have enough carers.”

She said in 2014 the heat killed 50,000 animals. ● 12355487-ACM25-17

BURNOUTS... CAR SEIZED AND TO BE FORFEITED

BY SENIOR CONSTABLE STEVE FITZPATRICK A 23-year-old male from Tewantin will front the Noosa Heads Magistrate in September for performing a series of burnouts in the Noosaville industrial area. Police observed four other vehicles in the vicinity after hearing the noise from the burnouts, but could only intercept the one, a yellow Skyline Coupe. The male initially denied the offence to police even while smoke was still emanating from the vehicle and smoke had filled the cabin of the vehicle. This is the man’s second offence, so the vehicle was seized, impounded and will be forfeited to the Crown.

Queensland Road Safety Week Queensland Road Safety Week from 2125 August is a chance for all Queenslanders to be involved in making our roads safer. ‘Speaking up for road safety’ is the focus, and we’re encouraging the whole community to have their say.

Each day of the week will focus on different road safety issues, kicking off with speed on Monday, drink and drug driving on Tuesday, distractions, seatbelts and child restraints on Wednesday, sharing the

road on Thursday and fatigue on Friday.

Distractions are one of the biggest problems with drivers. Taking your eyes off the road for just two seconds can have devastating consequences. In 2016, driver distraction contributed to 25 fatalities on Queensland roads.

Despite the dangers, about 76 per cent of Queenslanders admit to using their mobile phone illegally in the car. Using a mobile phone while driving multiplies by four your risk of a serious crash. Research shows using a mobile phone while driving can be as risky as drink driving.

Even when your eyes are off the road for just two seconds, a vehicle moving at 60km/h can travel more than 33 metres.

A 2014 survey of 3000 Queensland drivers found more than three quarters of Queenslanders use their mobile phone illegally in the car with 50 per cent of drivers admitting to texting at traffic and 25 per cent of drivers saying they text while driving. A quarter of drivers check email, social media and the internet at traffic lights, and 15 per cent do so while driving.

Road Safety Week means police will be targeting offenders in their vehicles for the sake of safety on our roads. ●

NEWS 90 RIDERS AT VINTAGE FESTIVAL More than 200 cyclists registered for the Noosa Strade Bianche steel-framed bicycle competition on Sunday in what has been dubbed Australia’s premier vintage bike festival.

Organiser Mal Taylor said there had been a 30 per cent increase in attendance at this year’s event.

“We started seven years ago with 40 riders,” he said. “It’s growing in popularity.”

The Strade Bianche began on Saturday morning with more than 90 riders heading off at 7am for a 37km Piccolo ride.

During the day on Saturday, riders

gathered at Noosa Marina where vintage and retro steel bikes were displayed and sold, some fetching prices in the thousands of dollars and some on show dating back to the 1930s.

On Sunday, there were three rides including the longest being 162km.

Each one took riders along both bitumen and gravel roads.

“It’s fairly testing terrain,” Mal said of the circuits that included imposing climbs and challenging descends throughout the hinterland towns of Cooroy, Cooran and Kin Kin. For more information on the event, visit http://www.noosa-stradebianche. com.au/ ●

Sunshine Coast sisters have teamed up to share their stories of mental illness, raise funds for ReachOut and organise a marathon to raise money for youth mental health.

Ashleigh Morris, 29, and her sister Jaine, 30, hope that by speaking openly about their own tough times, they’ll inspire others to talk about what they’re going through and get help.

Ashleigh left school at 14.

“For a long time I was down and out, didn’t have a place to live, I felt lost, derelict, an outcast,” she said. ‘It was my sister who told me she believed in me and inspired me to apply to uni to do what I love environmental science.’

‘It took every inch of strength I had to show up and do the pathway course to get in. I went through uni and have been incredibly successful because I found what I loved.”

Jaine worked hard and played hard as a young adult.

“I was a party girl but always held respectable positions and was high performing in my job. But in my down times, I turned to alcohol and substance use as a coping mechanism,” Jaine said.

“I worked in an isolated community for a few years, became burnt out and being so far away from my family and friends, I turned to substances.

“I eventually asked my family for help, and I entered a residential

Sisters Ashleigh and Jaine Morris. rehab program here on the Coast. It changed my world. I now feel like I’m finally in a place where I’m starting to collect healthy coping skills and tools to deal with life and realise that I’m not a bad person.

“I thought I was defective. Turns out I was just unwell.”

Jaine and Ashleigh now want to share their stories to reduce stigma and let people know it’s OK to reach out for help.

Ashleigh and Jaine will run the Sunshine Coast Marathon from 18-20 August. Check out their fund-raising page at https:// sunshinecoastmarathon2017. everydayhero.com/au/be-a-rainbowin-somebody-else-s-cloud ●

NOOSA TODAY 11

NEWS THROUGH HIS LENS IN THE AIR Peregian Beach schoolboy Eamon Kriz is combining his interests in drones, sport and photography to set up a business using drones to film adventure sports.

His business, In the Air, is a finalist in Generation Innovation an initiative of Fairfax MP Ted O’Brien to encourage entrepreneurs on the Sunshine Coast.

Eamon, 15, has been videoing sailing, surfing and mountain biking events as well as festivals, weddings and major developments.

“Most people can’t afford to hire a film crew and helicopter and film

themselves surfing or when they get married, but they would have a better chance affording a drone,” Mr O’Brien said.

Eamon, who is also a sailing instructor, said he came up with the idea after filming his brother surfing.

“I have always loved remote control toys and drones and I also like to surf.

I started filming my brother surfing and then other people started asking me if I could film them,” he said.

“I started to think, I could actually turn this into a business and do it commercially.”

Eamon said Generation Innovation had enabled him to secure a broader licence

Fairfax MP Ted O'Brien, Eamon Kriz and Noosa mayor Tony Wellington. to fly more areas of the Sunshine Coast, giving him another edge over drone competitors.

“I hope one day I can film national sporting events. I’ve already filmed the state sailing event and I’d love to do more like that,” he said.

Noosa council is a silver sponsor of Generation Innovation.

“A decade ago, when I was making documentaries on Noosa and Cooloola, the only way to get that sort of footage was by hiring a helicopter,” Noosa mayor Tony Wellington said.

Eamon is one of three finalists in this year’s Generation Innovation. The public can vote for their favourite idea from 1820 September at generationinnovation. com.au, and the winner will be announced soon after. ●

LANEWAY LIGHTS UP The four illuminated archways and pathway up lights were last week tested with generator power at the Peregian Beach walkway beside Peregian Hotel.

Noosa councillor Frank Wilke said the lit laneway was intended to encourage greater pedestrian use of the link between the village and Rufous Street precinct where the community permaculture gardens, tennis club, kindergarten and off-site parking were located.

They are due to be connected to mains power in the next week or so, he said.

Landscaping, line-marking, block work and other aspects of the civil works are due to be completed, finalised and signed off in a similar time frame.

Big Ideas extension Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation has extended the deadline of its Big Ideas grants round to 15 September.

Foundation chair Dick Barnes said early interest was positive but more time was needed.

“We are delighted by the early response from community groups who have come forward with their big ideas for Noosa’s future,” he said.

“The ideas coming through are impressive.

“But many of these groups have requested support with their submission and more time.”

Recycled waste not dumped Noosa council sought information from Visy which it contracts to handle its recycled items in the light of revelations on ABC Four Corners program that some recycled waste was being dumped in landfill.

In a statement, Visy advised council “I can confirm that all recyclable material (including glass) delivered to the Nambour MRF is beneficially reused in accordance with the terms and conditions of our contract and that no materials other than contaminants are sent to landfill”. ●

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT …

BREAKDOWN LEADS TO TOW A family boating voyage was cut short on Sunday when a flat battery left them calling the Coast Guard for a tow home.

Noosa Coast Guard spokesman Dave Gillies said it “happens all the time”.

“We’ve run out of fuel. The electrics have failed” - these are common calls to the service from boaties who find themselves stranded at sea, he said. Dave said despite a few breakdowns the weekend had been relatively quiet for the service. ●

WASTE DUMP CALL ON NORTH SHORE FOR THIRD CUTTING

The Coast Guard comes to the rescue.

CHEFS CHECK OUT UNIQUE PRODUCE Nineteen chefs from across Noosa enjoyed a tour this week of some of Noosa’s local producers and farm gates.

Tourism Noosa CEO Damien Massingham said the tour, organised by Tourism Noosa, was an opportunity for some of Noosa’s up and coming chefs to get out of the kitchen and discover some of the unique produce that was readily available on Noosa’s doorstep.

Chefs from Arcuri Restaurant, RACV Noosa, Locale Noosa, Noosa Boathouse, Noosa Springs, Padstows, Pitchfork Restaurant, Rickys, Sails Restaurant, Season Restaurant, Thomas Corner Eatery, Wasabi Restaurant and Bar and Woodfire Grill participated in the tour.

The tour commenced with artisan producer George Francisco from Voodoo Bacon at Belmondos Organic

The issue of waste on Noosa North Shore is often in the news.

Last week Leanne Spence put forward a proposal on the Noosa Community Noticeboard.

“I would like to start a petition to ask the council to enforce all campers to have portable

toilets,” she said.

“The funds they make on vehicles permits alone at Christmas for one week is roughly $30,000. If 200 people paid $18 per vehicle one day per week this is $187,200 per year. We all know the most people go up for extended periods.

“What I think we need to see is another waste dump service at third cutting and that if you pay rates in Noosa we should have a discounted price for locals.” ●

LESS IS MORE FOR SIGNAGE Noosa Council’s new signage policy may see an end to our curious way-showing signs that direct motorists to “all other destinations”.

Councillors this week discussed the “less is more” policy to reduce unnecessary signage but comply with Australian standards.

“Where possible we will remove signage unless it has a concrete purpose,” mayor Tony Wellington said. ●

Market before visiting Australia’s first certified organic feijoa growers, Hinterland Feijoas, and continuing on to the Bamboo Farm.

The final venue for the day was The Falls Farm, producers of fruit, vegetables and herbs using a combination of traditional farming techniques and the latest organic soil knowledge.

Wasabi Restaurant and Bar restaurateur Danielle Gjestland said the day was a wonderful chance for their chefs to meet with growers to find out more about the ingredients they worked with and to appreciate the effort that was put into their products.

“They also had the opportunity to connect with fellow industry professionals over a shared passion - the great produce of Noosa and the Sunshine Coast,” she said. ●

SOCIAL SCENE

MENU INSPIRED BY PRODUCE Australia’s hottest young chefs, waiters and restaurateurs descended on Noosa’s Waterfront Restaurant on Sunday to cook and host at the Appetite for Excellence national hospitality awards.

The six chefs, seven waiters and four restaurateurs who are the national finalists took over the restaurant for the Noosa Hunt and Gather Lunch.

The menu is inspired by produce which the group unearthed during a recent culinary safari of Queensland’s most dynamic farmers, harvesters, fishers and winemakers.

Lunch goers were able to hear the stories behind the dishes, see the trends on their plates and experience first-hand what the next generation of young Aussie tastemakers have to offer.

The 17 national finalists are from restaurants including Bennelong (Sydney), Anchovy (Melbourne), Urbane (Brisbane) and St Hugo (Barossa). They have been selected by industry legends including Peter Gilmore, Luke Mangan, Christine Manfield, Ross Lusted, Sam Christie and Danielle Gjestland from Noosa’s Wasabi Restaurant and Bar. ●

This year guest speakers were; Greg Clark, Andrew Slack, Greg Cornelsen, Michael O’Connor and Chris Roach.

On this occasion the Dolphins were proudly supporting two groups; GIVIT, goods for good causes: and Hearts in Union Helping rugby help its own.

After a welcome from club President Donald McKill - in which he thanked all their sponsors - he then introduced the GIVIT representative, Dan Neylan, and Hearts in Union Representative, Sam Robson.

For GIVIT, they centre their funding on outback people going through hard times and

Hearts in Union, work for rugby union players who have received spinal injuries; players who, after some five years of support are usually forgotten.

As on all occasions, raffle and auctions were part of the afternoon.

Saturday morning saw a small group of Noosa Old Boys (and one old girl) take control of organising the visit of the Kids with Cancer Project Bus. After arranging the parking of the vehicle and assisting with displays, the NOBS then provided a barbecue breakfast for the visitors and guests.

The vehicle transporting the team whose job it is to bring to the people on the East coast

of Australia what this project is all about, was parked on the beach side of the clubhouse.

After meeting the Old Boys and being welcomed by club President Ross Fisher, guest of honour Col Reynolds OAM, the passionate founder of Kids Cancer Project, explained the purpose of the stopover.

Their journey had started at Townsville and with the Old Boys offering to sponsor the Noosa visit, it gave them the opportunity to explain the Project to beach-goers and above all, attend Channel 7 TV and local press interviews, organised by a member of the Old Boys.

The team works under the slogan, “Kids with Cancer need Science,” and Col explained the full meaning.

With volunteers too many to name, we at Noosa Today take pride in the fact that these tireless workers both men and women, were of our community. Proud to say, they were in every meaning of the word - Our People. ●

Last weekend three of our local clubs gave us an outstanding example of what life in the Noosa Community is all about; and just what we can achieve when we forget our differences and work, though independently, for the good of others.

The three to which I refer are the Dolphins Rugby Union Club, Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club (Noosa's Old Boys Group) and the Pirates Rugby League Club; and the reason they deserve special mention is that starting Friday and going through to Saturday these three clubs gave their time and energy to charitable organisations of their choosing.

In our local football codes - Pirates and Dolphins - the raising of funds necessary to enable them to provide what is necessary to continue, is a never-ending exercise.

For the Surf Club - a much bigger organisation - the matter of finance (being a rescue organisation with massive insurance problems) also exists but not to the same extent.

However the one common problem for all three is, and always will be, providing the manpower which will enable them to achieve their goal on any chosen day.

Within our community, the two notable days of charity started on Friday when the Dolphins Rugby Union Club hosted their annual Long Lunch.

This yearly event, which some would rate as the hottest tickets in town, has been in existence for several years and with a list of Wallaby legends as guest speakers and

VETERANS ON THE MARCH

BY MARGARET MACCOLL Vietnam Veterans Day is commemorated each year on 18 August and this year the Tewantin-Noosa RSL sub-branch will mark the occasion with a march and commemoration ceremony from 4pm in Tewantin.

Last Sunday the RSL hosted a Navy Reserve Band performance in Lions Park at Noosaville, in what sub-branch president Mike Reid said was the first event planned to highlight the veterans in the area and their work.

Vietnam veterans Bruce Wilson, Mike Boyle and Gary Roper this week spoke to Noosa Today about their experiences during the Vietnam War in their roles in the army, air force and navy.

Bruce was called up in the ballot in June 1966 at the age of 20 and trained with the 2nd Battalion before being dispatched with the advance party to the Australian base established at Nui Dat, where he served for 12 months.

He said many people didn’t realise why Australia was involved in the Vietnam War and that led to a lot of animosity on the troops’ return.

At the time Australia was called on to

fulfil its obligation to the South East Asian Treaty Organisation (SEATO) to come to the aid of Vietnam, he said.

“The Tewantin-Noosa RSL was always very welcoming of Vietnam veterans,” he said. “They were good to us and they continue to give us assistance.” As the social officer at the RSL, Bruce now assists other veterans to become part of the community.

Air force man Mike Boyle was posted to Number 2 Squadron in 1969 in Phan Rang as an armament fitter, loading the aircraft with 750 and 1000-pound bombs.

“We had eight Canberra bombers on a base with over 100 planes,” he said.

“The Canberra did day sorties and sometimes at night. On a big base we used to get rockets and mortars coming in three and four times a night, but nobody got hurt.”

Ten and a half months into his 12 month dispatch Mike fractured his ankle and was medevaced out.

Gary Roper of Tewantin became a stoker in the engine room of the HMAS Hobart during two stints in Vietnam in 1968 and 1970.

In 1968 the ship was fired on by the US Air Force near Da Nang, killing two and injuring others.

“There were holes everywhere. The weapons radar at the rear of the ship was rendered useless,” he said. “We were out in the middle of the ocean with no protection.”

The ship travelled to Suvic Bay in the Philippines for servicing and Gary returned home. Eighteen months later Gary was back in Suvic Bay with the ship.

During his deployment he met and married his wife, who was working at the base. Gary said he had suffered with posttraumatic shock syndrome since 1968, not from the ship’s bombing but the thought of the civilian collateral damage resulting from constant firing.

“I had nightmares about the harassment and interdiction strikes,” he said.

“I worried some grandmother would be walking her water buffalo and get blown away.”

Gary praised the Department of Veterans’ Affairs for their support for the condition.

“The DVA really looked after the vets, once they accepted PTSD was a real problem,” he said.

Working as a welfare officer, Gary helps other veterans and war widows to gain the help they need. ●

GOING GREEN John Smeed (Noosa Today, 8 August), claims that council is spending $500,000 partnering with Tim Flannery. That is nonsense.

Council has not spent a cent to join with the Climate Council’s Cities Power Partnership (CPP).

The CPP is a commitment by councils more than 30 Australia-wide so far - to tackle climate change at a local level.

Being a part of the CPP gives Noosa Council the opportunity to share with, and learn from, other like-minded councils.

Councils across Australia are implementing energy efficiencies and installing clean energy which will not only reduce emissions but hedge against the rising cost of electricity. Council’s Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN) strategy is geared towards reducing emissions from council’s operations which will help make Noosa a greener, more efficient and resilient community.

Annie Nolan, Carbon Reduction Project Officer, Noosa Council.

There is only one problem with this green utopia that Tony Wellington and Mark Jamieson are attempting to emulate. When the green utopian city wakes to another cloudy, windless day, where will its electricity come from?

Colin Bond, Tewantin.

GOOD TURN We are grateful for the turning lane that was put in last year at the Eumundi Road - Beddington Road intersection. This relieved the concern about being hit from the back while waiting to turn. What we are facing now though is the danger from heavy trucks and vehicles coming from the Eumundi direction. They pass within a couple of feet of the waiting right-turning vehicle, thundering through at 80km/h or more. Only a little distraction to the driver could result in a head-on collision which would be “curtains" for the waiting driver and passengers. What I am suggesting is a 60km/h zone starting shortly after Duke Road through to Grays Road. This would considerably lessen the danger to vehicles waiting to turn. There is a lot of traffic out of the fruit shop and several other businesses located near the intersection which find it hard to get out onto Eumundi Road.

The same goes for exits from Beddington Road (a very heavily trafficked road), Justin Road, private driveways along Eumundi Road, and the school traffic out of Grays Road. Traffic has to slow to 60km/h further down the road at the service centre, so starting the 60 zone just after Duke road shouldn’t trouble people too much, but would make it safer for us local residents. Also a lot of the traffic coming from Eumundi has just come off the Bruce Highway at 110km/h, so tend to travel over the 80km/h if not respecting the speed limit.

same concerns, Glen Elmes (Liberal MP noosa@parliament.qld.gov.au) would like to hear from you, and he might have the ammunition to get some action.

Syd Evans, Suburb withheld on request.

PULL YOUR BEAKS OUT Like Sydney Evans, I’m another who thinks Noosa Council has taken a stance on an issue that not all ratepayers agree with. I’m so sick of hearing about homosexual marriage, but never thought a council would involve itself in such an issue. Concentrate on what we want relating to our area, not social issues.

Ingrid Jackson has definitely led the cause on this - her family’s wartime experiences are irrelevant to the Marriage Act, which has served humanity well for thousands of years.

Homosexuals are the minority - don’t pander to them. A plebiscite will show in no uncertain terms which way Australians wish to go on this.

Name withheld on request, Doonan.

WHAT A WASTE Noosa Council should know exactly how any waste contractor deals with all materials as part of awarding the contract in the first place. Council cannot delegate responsibility to a contractor and claim ignorance of the outcomes.

Ratepayers want to know the details of how our waste is handled if we are to continue to engage in recycling efforts. The contract with Visy needs urgent review and the people of Noosa have the right to know the answers.

Carole Philipp, Noosa Heads.

IMPORTED RUBBISH Recent media reports exposing how 2012 changes to state legislation created a one million ton per year, import industry of NSW rubbish into Queensland, raises a number of questions.

Firstly, what was the 2012 LNP Government thinking by removing the lucrative levy on landfill, which immediately undermined the business case for recycling in Queensland?

Secondly, why won’t the current ALP Government reintroduce the waste levy and does the bipartisan support for the landfill 'free for all’ have anything to do with the

fact both major political parties receive massive donations from waste companies?

I think it’s really disappointing that so many in the community have worked so hard to reduce, re-use and recycle, only to find out as much as 50 per cent of our recycling ends up in landfill. This certainly takes the gloss off the container deposit sheme and plastic bag ban efforts.

I wonder if our local MP Glen Elmes still supports his 2012 government’s policy on the landfill levy? Perhaps the ALP and the LNP need to recycle a slogan of the past and “Do the Right Thing“?

Aaron White, Kin Kin.

IT STINKS Back to the future? Not “WorkChoices” (“dead, buried and cremated”) or the “Fair Work Act”. Powerful corporate lobbyists who have successfully demanded tax cuts for big business, cuts to penalty rates, now demand “wages reform” (‘please’). A policy by any other name should smell as foul!

Margaret Wilkie.

Peregian Beach.

AND THE LIGHTS GO OUT It is 7pm on a cold, still night in the city which boasts “100 per cent green energy”.

Thousands of electric cars are plugged into chargers; electric lights, heaters and TVs are running; electric stoves are cooking dinner, electric trains and lifts are moving late commuters and early revellers, and the pubs and clubs are busy.

The hills bristle with turbines, but there is no wind and not one is turning. Every roof is covered with solar panels, but there is no sunshine and the panels are fast asleep. The green city is facing peak electricity demand ... on batteries.

But for several days, clouds have shaded the solar panels and there has been no wind to turn the turbines - the battalions of batteries are running out of juice. One by one they drop out. The street lights fade and the city goes dark.

In this green energy utopia all the wicked coal-powered generators have been demolished, exploration for gas is forbidden, noone dares to mention nuclear, hydro schemes have gone (replaced by “Wild Rivers”), new hydro developments are stalled by green lawyers, and diesel generators are banned. Reference: Viv Forbes, Pickering Post - Tue 8 August 2017.

John Smeed is rather amusing with his fear of left-wing greens with their manipulation of climate change. The left-wing people are generally progressive and aiming to progress this world of ours and rid it of the right-wing stubborn ignorance. Sometimes they get things wrong, but not always. Right-wingers seem to be increasingly conservative, fearing any movement from the present as conspiracy by the left.

One such example is climate change which is, funny enough, changing. Do not the ice caps retreating over most of the world prove a dramatic warm change? Weather is misbehaving in many parts of the world. In our area of the globe we are getting hot, humid summers and warmer winters.

It seems that the melting polar ice sheet is piling up in the ocean and altering the climate in places like New Zealand, which is having one of its coldest winters.

There also seems to be strange ideas about carbon dioxide being toxic. Plant-life requires it - too much is bad for animal and marine life and tends to blanket the earth against the sun’s beneficial rays, hence climate change.

Len Chiles, Noosaville.

INCONVENIENT NEWS John Smeed, in your letters last week, dismisses many inconveniences in his eagerness to brand Noosa’s mayor, and Tim Flannery of the Climate Council, as leftist greens or green leftists, he can’t quite decide. This is hardly a surprise, given his ineptly-named Galileo Movement turns history on its head.

By aligning anthropogenic climate change denial with the observations of Galileo, and their challenge to the orthodox view at the time that Earth is the centre of the universe, he distorts history.

Leaving aside Smeed’s facile contention that our mayor wishes us to stop breathing out CO2, it is worth noting that understanding the drivers of climate change is hugely complex and carries with it a level of uncertainty, even though that uncertainty seems to be diminishing as real scientists carry on with their jobs.

If you have not made your conclusion before exploring the subject of anthropogenic climate change, it is likely you will arrive at uncertainty too. In this case the safe option is to act as if humanity’s influence on the climate is real and do all you can to minimise your contribution to the potential impending disaster. This, as I understand it, is the mayor’s position.

Galileo made observations with new technology that were previously difficult or impossible. The Catholic Church at the time held a view derived from centuries of unquestioning belief. Modern-day observations of climate change, facilitated by technological advances, represent a new phenomenon to be contrasted with some centuries of, mainly, unquestioned acquiescence in the “West" to the benefits (short-term) of the Industrial Revolution.

Blame the UN all you like Mr Smeed, history is unlikely to exonerate adherence to the status quo.

EUMUNDI FIRM AMONG THE BEST LOCAL Eumundi building designer Brett Grimley of Ecolibrium Designs is celebrating after taking out a top State Award for Building Excellence at the industry gala awards night held in Brisbane.

The 2017 Building Designers Association of Queensland state award gala event took place on Saturday 22 July celebrating excellence in building design for the state of Queensland.

Ecolibrium Designs took out the category for Residential Alterations/ Additions of Houses $350,000$800,000 construction cost, which means the company will now advance to the National Awards where they will represent Queensland in the National Association of Building Designers Awards, to be held later this year.

For the Eumundi-based design team this award is recognition for hard work, and their creative ability to transform a neglected Tanawah house into a beautiful and modern new home.

The original odd-shaped and run-down house has been transformed into an elegant and light-filled spacious home.

A minimalist inspired extension to the house gives balance to the once topheavy building and a simple black and white colour scheme blends the old with the new timelessly.

Owners Liz and Paul were very pleased with the result, saying “Brett did a fantastic job utilising what we had and implementing in such clever, smart, eye catching details and hero aspects a truly lovely home design”.

Liz and Paul were also particularly happy with the quality of the build by local builder Darren Magee

BEFORE: No pool.

This stunning home has taken out the award for the best Residential Alterations / Additions of Houses $350,000-$800,000 construction cost.

AFTER: The pool.

Brett Grimley said “I really enjoyed this project. Right from the start the ideas fell into place and we knew this was going to be something special. The simplicity of the result disguises the work we put into it, but the clients are really happy with it and that is the real reward”.

This success cements Ecolibrium’s reputation as a top local design firm, following acclaim last year when they took out the award for Best New House up to $500,000 at the 2016 Building Designers Association of Queensland regional awards. ●

MARKET RESPONDS TO ‘BRAKE’ PRESSURE THE housing market is gradually responding to higher mortgage rates, tighter credit policies and affordability challenges, with the quarterly trend in capital gains moderating relative to early 2017.

The July 2017 CoreLogic Home Value Index results recorded a 1.5 per cent rise in dwelling values across the combined capital cities for the month.

Most individual capital cities recorded a rise, however, a 3.1 per cent gain in Melbourne was a significant driver for the strong monthly result across the combined capitals.

According to CoreLogic head of research Tim Lawless, the latest housing market results highlight the

diversity of housing market conditions, with dwelling values down over the month in Brisbane (-0.6 per cent), Perth (-1.3 per cent) and Darwin (-1.2 per cent).

Mr Lawless said the recent bounce in capital gains may be partially due to a recovery from the seasonal slump in values recorded in April and May. “However, other factors, such as stamp duty concessions for first home buyers in New South Wales and Victoria, may also be having a positive impact on market demand,” he said.

“It’s still too early to measure the effect of first home buyer incentives, which went live on 1 July.

However historically, the first

time buyer segment has been very responsive to stimulus measures.”

Despite the higher month-on-month capital gains in June and July, the quarterly trend rate of growth has clearly reduced.

The rolling quarterly pace of capital gains across the combined capitals has fallen from 3.6 per cent in February earlier this year to reach 2.2 per cent at the end of July.

The slowdown in growth conditions is most evident across the hottest markets, with the quarterly growth trend reducing from five per cent in Sydney earlier this year to 2.2 per cent at the end of last month. Melbourne growth conditions have also slowed, though to

a lesser extent, with growth easing from a 2017 quarterly peak of 5.5 per cent to 4.2 per cent The divergence in growth rates between Sydney and Melbourne is also evident in auction clearance rates.

Sydney’s clearance rate has been below 70 per cent for seven of the past eight weeks, while Melbourne auction clearance rates have consistently held around the mid-70 per cent range.

Mr Lawless said Melbourne appears to be benefitting from consistently high population growth which is creating strong demand for housing, as well as consistently high jobs growth and more affordable housing options relative to Sydney. ●

LIVE One of Australia's leading jazz players, Peter Gaudion comes to The J.

IT’S JAZZ AT THE J

BY HOLLIE HARRIS You’ll feel the room swayin’ and the band playin’ when Noosa Chorale and Australia’s finest jazz musos showcase Louis Armstrong’s greatest hits at The J later this month.

Memorable classics, including Hello Dolly, St Louis Blues, Give Me A Kiss to Build a Dream On, Moon River, Ain’t Misbehavin’ and Moon River, will be performed by the chorale, Melbourne cabaret star Juliarna Clark and The Australia Jazz Ensemble led by trumpet player Peter Gaudion.

It’s an all-star tribute to the lovable Satchmo, the entertainer whose trumpet solos, mile-wide smile, gravelly voice noosatoday.com.au

and peerless way with a song, still endear him to people all over the world.

From the 1920s to the late 1960s he dominated the world of entertainment as a jazz trumpeter, hit record artist and band leader as well as starring in movies and on stage with famous names like Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Barbra Streisand.

Melbourne’s Peter Gaudion is one of Australia’s leading jazz players and has performed at jazz festivals and concerts in many parts of the world. He has a special affinity with Armstrong.

He has played him in the two Australian productions of the Cole Porter musical, High Society, which also

starred Lorrae Desmond and Jennifer Byrnes, touring for a total of 18 months.

His “Tribute to Satchmo” concerts have also been a smash hit, one at the Melbourne International Jazz Festival attracting more than 1000 fans.

Says Peter: “Louis Armstrong was a huge influence on everybody’s attitudes to their playing. He invented popular music in the mid-1920s because nobody played like that and nobody sang like that. Nobody was as free.”

Peter started playing with his schoolmates at McLeod High School in Melbourne and hasn’t put the trumpet down since.

His bands include Frank Traynor’s Jazz Preachers, the long-running The

Syncopators and his own group, The Blues Express, which includes his son Ashley on alto sax and his cousin, vocalist Jacki Gaudion.

He is no stranger to Noosa and the Jazz Party, first coming here in 1993, the year after it started and local fans appreciate the fire and power of his playing, as well as his relaxed singing and irreverent sense of humour.

The Wonderful World of Jazz - the era of Louis Armstrong, Noosa Chorale and The Australian Jazz Ensemble at The J Friday, 25 August at 7pm and Sat, 26 August at 2pm. Tickets $35. Book online at www.thej.com.au or phone 5329 6560. ●

THIS WEEK

HOLLLIE HARRIS

Associate Professor Fiona Pelly.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT A team of University of the Sunshine Coast nutrition and dietetics researchers will help fuel the performance of the student athletes at the World University Games starting in Taiwan on Saturday 19 August.

Associate Professor Fiona Pelly, senior lecturer Dr Hattie Wright and PhD student Rachael Thurecht will spend three weeks in Taipei, overseeing the nutrition support program for more than 10,000 athletes competing at the games from 19-30 August. The USC trio will be based in the athletes’ village, where they will provide competitors with dietary advice and collect data on athletes’ food choices and the nutritional environment.

The event, officially known as the 2017 Summer Universiade, is the world’s second-largest sporting competition, with only the Olympic Games attracting more athletes.

Prof Pelly has advised the International Olympic Committee on food provision at Olympic and Paralympic Games since 2000. ●

Lust for Life, by Lana Del Ray

All the ugly and wonderful things,by Bryn Greenwood

The Beguiled (M) Starring: Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Colin Farrell

‘Lust For Life’ deals with themes that’ll be familiar to Lana devotees; faded Hollywood glamour, skewed Americana and terrible love. But this time around, Lana is even more grandiose than usual, with lush, sweeping orchestration draped elegantly over each of the album’s 16 tracks.

A post-modernist playground, the iconic pop cultural references run wild throughout. ‘Cherry’ knowingly quotes Patsy Cline’s 1961 country standard ‘I Fall To Pieces’; and album closer ‘Get Free’ lifts more than some might think seemly from Radiohead’s ‘Creep’, as well as dropping some Neil Young lyrics along the way. ●

As the daughter of a meth dealer, Wavy knows not to trust people, not even her own parents. Struggling to raise her little brother, eight-year-old Wavy is the only responsible 'adult' around. She finds peace in the starry Midwestern night sky above the fields behind her house. One night everything changes when she witnesses one of her father’s thugs, Kellen, a tattooed ex-con with a heart of gold, wreck his motorcycle.

What follows is a powerful and shocking love story between two unlikely people that asks tough questions, reminding us of all the ugly and wonderful things that life has to offer. ●

The name of Sophia Coppola does give some instant cred to this one - but that’s about it.

Nicole Kidman takes the lead in the role she was born to play - an iceblock in a frock running a girls’ school in the southern US during the Civil War. Along comes wounded Union soldier Colin Farrell - and it’s fair to say he hits this house of women like a North Korean nuclear weapon that actually works.

As a period piece, the film works OK ... perhaps the challenge is the suspension of disbelief involved in ice queen Kidman being remotely sexy. ●

FOCUS ON … Noosa Craft Beer Festival WHAT‘S YOUR TYPE?

WORLD VIEW ON BEER craft beer matching discussions and tastings. There is opportunity to meet the brewers, drink their products and decide which is your brew of choice. Along with this, there are celebrity guests, charity raffles and talks on brewing techniques, as well as kids' entertainment (face painting, balloon making, and a jumping castle).

Entry to the Noosa Craft Beer Festival is a gold coin donation. All proceeds from entry will be donated to the PA Breast Cancer Appeal and Sunshine Butterflies. ●

of the fermentation tank. They generally thrive at temperatures between 60 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

Lager yeasts are more successful at lower temperatures (typically 46 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit) and cluster closer to the bottom of the fermentation tank. Lager yeasts also tend to ferment more aggressively, leaving behind less residual sweetness and flavor than ales.

The difference doesn't end with the yeast, however. The other brewing techniques for each style are as important as the yeast used.

After fermentation, ales are usually aged no more than a few weeks. The aging process is generally done at 40 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

Lagers are aged for much longer, typically months at a time.

They are also aged at much lower temperatures (between 32 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit).

This is called layering and creates a cleaner, clearer beer.

Although there are only two types, the number of varieties bring richness to the brew, catering to increasingly diverse tastes.

These days beer truly is the beverage for any occasion. ●

The Noosa Craft Beer Festival will be held at the Noosa Reef Hotel on Saturday, 26 August.

A craft beer event for beer enthusiasts and the Noosa community to experience a delightful journey of sipping, sampling and tasting some of the 80 beer, craft beer and ciders from over 20 brewers, local, national and international, as well as some amazing food from locally sourced suppliers.

Breweries small and large from all over Australia will descend on Noosa ready to put their best brews on show. This event is an interactive event with food and

Navigating today's vast beer market can be tricky and confusing. There are more styles and sub-styles, special names, and new labels than ever before.

The one thing that you need to know is that all beer falls into one of two categories: Ale or Lager.

It might seem to be an unlikely claim when you are trying to choose from the bewildering array of beers available, but it’s true.

The brewing processes of the two different kinds of beer - lager, cold and efficient and ale, warm and complex - result in very different final products. Although both are beer, the two are as different as red and white wines.

Lagers are clean, refreshing beers, typically with a light aroma and flavor. They are invariably served cold and can pair easily with a wide variety of food.

Ales are complex, flavorful beers. Many are served closer to room temperature and contain rich aroma and flavor. Their complexity makes pairing a more selective, but highly rewarding, task.

It all starts with the yeast ... it is the yeast that makes the difference between the ale and the lager.

Ale yeasts cluster at the top

BLACK TIE PEPPERS SUPPORTS CAMPAIGN Following its successful lunch last year to raise awareness and money toward the elimination of domestic violence, Peppers Noosa has this year gone one better with the Luke Batty Foundation Black Tie Gala Dinner on 23 September.

The Luke Batty Foundation was established in memory of Luke Batty who was tragically killed by his father at cricket practice on in 2014 in Tyabb, Victoria.

People in Australia were hugely affected by the manner in which Luke was killed and the response was so overwhelming it inspired Rosie to set up the foundation in Luke’s memory. Rosie aims to let people know that family violence happens to everybody. “No matter how nice your house is, how intelligent you are. It happens to anyone and everyone,� she said.

Peppers Noosa is supporting the Luke Batty Foundation and has been overwhelmed with $50,000 in sponsorship for its fundraising event.

Event organiser Francesca Marren said a threecourse dinner would be designed for the evening

by Peppers head chef Andy Wilcox and celebrity chef and guest of honour Matt Golinski. “There will be live entertainment by Hurricane, silent auctions and raffles and all proceeds will be going toward this wonderful cause,� she said.

Tickets are $100 per person and include bubbles on arrival, drinks package and raffles and auctions for prizes including three night’s accommodation at Peppers Seminyak and five night’s accommodation at Mantra Ala Moana, Hawaii.

AT HOME WITH COTTAGE FARE

BY MARGARET MACCOLL When I dropped into Maises Seafood and Steak Restaurant this week it felt like I had walked into a family home where I was welcomed like an old friend.

The wait staff took time to ensure the seating was suitable and warm enough in the chilly evening before explaining the specials on offer.

The restaurant is located in a quaint Queensland cottage with views across Noosa River.

Its walls are filled with photos displaying a rarely seen history of Noosa.

In some ways Maises is little changed since it was opened by the Massoud family in the 1920s as a café called The Favourite.

The restaurant continues to be family

owned with the Massoud fishermen delivering fresh seafood to the restaurant daily.

I chose fresh locally caught gold band snapper and my partner decided on a rib fillet with oysters mornay. Both were cooked perfectly.

It was a tough choice between that and lobster cooked five ways, which is a specialty of the restaurant.

Dessert was creme brulee and mud cake - delicious.

The meals were generous and reasonably priced.

It was my first visit to Maises but I know we will be regular visitors.

Maises is at 247 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, and is open daily from 11.30am to 9pm.

Delicious small prawns.

Noosa Fish Market regulars just can’t get enough of the Cajun battered snapper wings.

Shop owner Gary Roser said the front fin flesh just below the head was an often neglected but delicious part of the fish.

Gary cooks them up in his own special batter.

They’re a perfect snack or meal with chips and a salad.

Also on the menu at Noosa Fish Market are Mooloolaba school prawns.

Gary said the smaller prawn wasn’t always in season or available to the public.

The smaller prawn is tasty and cheaper, is already cooked and is a good special for the family.

The shop also has large prawns and king

Cajun battered snapper wings - delicious.

BENEFITS IN RECOVERY OF CANCER PATIENTS

THREE …

Tips to ease back into exercise

1

Go slow. It’s important to ease back into your regular routine.

When you’ve had an infection, the increased work of your immune system is taxing on the body. Overwhelm an already over-worked body and you’ll wind up right back in the sack.

2

Start back with light cardio first, then resistance training.

It’s important to make sure your oxygen delivery system is intact so that when you do resistance training, your muscles will get the oxygen.

3

Yoga is a great place to start since the exercise is less demanding and often moves at a moderate cardio pace.

There have been many clinical trials addressing the impact exercise has on people with cancer both during and after treatment.

There is sufficient evidence to show that exercise provides benefits in quality of life for people with cancer and that it does not cause harm to the individual.

According to the American College of Sports Medicine: exercise is defined as “a physical activity causing an increase in energy expenditure and involving a planned or structured movement of the body performed in a systematic manner in terms of frequency, intensity, and duration, and designed to maintain or enhance healthrelated outcomes.

A recent Canadian study by the Society for Exercise Physiology, discussed the impact of cancer rehabilitation through physical activity and exercise.

Their study found that regular consistent exercise had both psychological and physical benefits for those adhering to an exercise program.

The American College of Sports Medicine supports the notion that those surviving cancer are better off partaking in a supportive, well-structured exercise program than to be “inactive”.

Supported studies recommend the following: 1. A pre-exercise assessment to evaluate for any effects of disease, treatments, and comorbidities is recommended for all people living with cancer before they start an exercise intervention.

2. It is recommended that, where possible, people living with cancer exercise in a small group or supervised setting, because that environment might provide a superior benefit or outcome in terms of

muscular and aerobic fitness gains.

3. It is recommended that, where possible, people living with cancer perform exercise at a moderate intensity (three to six times the baseline resting state) on an ongoing basis as a part of their lifestyle so that improvements in quality of life and muscular and aerobic fitness can be maintained for the long term.

Many studies have found an improvement in quality of life for patients

with cancer participating in an exercise intervention during the active treatment or post-treatment period, it’s important to consult your doctor regarding such matters and seek out professional advice on what is best practice. Importantly, exercise prescription under supervision has been proven to be of benefit to those living with cancer when delivered in a structured manner under controlled environment.

FOCUS ON … Seniors Week

SENIORS DISCOVER LATENT TALENTS

BY HOLLIE HARRIS Seniors are discovering or rediscovering talents and skills they never knew or had forgotten they possessed.

Having spent many years pursuing careers and bringing up families, it is only in retirement that seniors realise there is now time to take up a new hobby.

This is certainly true of some of the members of the Tinbeerwah Art Group who are busy preparing for their annual art show. TAG Art show co-ordinator Jan Cooke said that it was amazing how many of its members had either never painted since childhood or had forgotten how much they enjoyed painting.

The Tinbeerwah Art Group (T.A.G.) is one of the longest running art groups on the Sunshine Coast. It was founded in 1994 by retired art teacher Gwen Blair.

TAG is well known for its diversity, and is a vibrant and innovative artistic body.

Members are encouraged to develop their own individual ideas and techniques in contemporary and traditional styles in acrylics, watercolours, oils, pastels and mixed media.

Classes are held on Thursday and Friday mornings 9am-noon in school term times at Tinbeerwah Hall corner of Sunrise Road and Noosa-Cooroy Road.

Go along and meet the artists and enjoy some light refreshments at the official opening on Friday 15 September at 5.30pm at Tinbeerwah Hall, on the corner of Sunrise and Cooroy- Noosa Road, Tinbeerwah.

The show will also be open on Saturday 16 September 9am-4pm and Sunday 17 September, 10am-3.30pm.This year, proceeds from the gold coin door entry will be donated to the Katie Rose Cottage Hospice.

HALCYON DAYS OF GREAT OUTDOORS BACK IN VOGUE Leading over-50s developer Halcyon is bucking the downsizing trend on the Sunshine Coast by embracing the great outdoors with its latest homes at Halcyon Lakeside.

Of the 40 homes in the Lifestyle Release, there are 15 lakefront homes and 13 with an extended alfresco area to take advantage of the desirable lifestyle in the booming coastal township of Bli Bli. All homes in this release embrace the active lifestyle of Halcyon Lakeside, and will benefit from being the closest homes to the near-completed $5 million Recreation Club.

Halcyon Lakeside project director Chris Carley said the alfresco areas paid homage to the great Aussie backyard and breathe new life into outdoor living at Halcyon Lakeside.

“The Lifestyle Release at Halcyon Lakeside encompasses a selection of homes with a primary focus on outdoor living,” Mr Carley said.

“While some contemporary suburban developments are diminishing the size of backyards, we want to increase the amount of green space within the residential masterplanned community to enhance the lifestyle of residents.”

A selection of Lifestyle Release homes come with an eight-metre deep patio designed as a natural sanctuary at the resident’s door step. The outdoor area comes with the option of an outdoor kitchen to

create a real entertainer’s paradise.

Lifestyle Release homes range in size from 312sqm to 474sqm and are priced from $539,000 to $679,000.

Construction of the homes will start in October and be completed by February 2018, when residents will enjoy the benefits of the Recreation Club which is due to open in early August.

In line with the facilities of an exclusive five-star country club, Halcyon Lakeside and Halcyon Landing at Bli Bli have proven attractive to over 50s buyers as the ideal place to live and invest.

The recent suburb report for Bli Bli from Your Investment Property reveals property prices have risen 17.86 per cent in Bli Bli over the last three years. In comparison, prices at Halcyon Landing have beaten that market average by rising 18 per cent over just 2.5 years. ●

FOCUS ON … Seniors Week

Hearing loss affects around one in six Australians, and is predicted to rise to 25 per cent or one in four by the year 2050.

Along with old age, other causes of hearing loss include accidents and exposure to excessive loud noise.

While workplace noise was cited as the main cause in the past, the focus has now shifted to the personal listening devices worn by young people, which have the potential to cause permanent hearing damage if the noise is excessive and prolonged.

As well as the cost to our health and wellbeing, hearing loss is estimated to cost the nation billions of dollars every year in lost productivity.

Hearing Awareness Week from 20-26 August is an initiative of the Deafness Forum of Australia to raise awareness of this often underrated and under-reported condition often described as the invisible disability.

People can wait for years before they seek help for their hearing loss and become isolated through a lack of access to communications.

Loss of hearing is often a gradual process.

Some of the early warning signs of hearing loss are: you can hear but not understand; you find it hard to hear in noisy situations or groups of people; you think people

It’s Hearing Awareness Week. Have you had a hearing test recently? Modern hearing devices can be quite discreet. mumble; you need to turn the TV up louder than others or, you don’t always hear the doorbell or the phone. Once hearing has become impaired, it is critical to protect what hearing remains.

Hearing devices benefit many people, but cannot restore hearing to normal.

Modern hearing aids come in a wide range of styles and performance levels, and an audiologist can help people make the right choice taking into consideration hearing needs, budget, lifestyle and

cosmetic preferences. Eligible pensioners and veterans can benefit from a range of government- subsidised hearing devices.

It might take a person some time to adjust to using a hearing device, but with practice listening can again become an enjoyable experience.

A detailed hearing assessment by a qualified audiologist is the first step. Find out more at www.ears.com.au or call 5452 6288. ●

“I moved to Noosa Domain in 2015. The village is a great size, has a wonderful atmosphere is beautifully presented and I am very happy here. I never feel isolated, I don’t drive and use the Village bus for social and shopping events. I adore the Village boat and celebrated a wonderful birthday at Sunset with friends from here.

Making new friends in a great community with wonderful Village Managers gave me a new exciting outlook. I love my home, enjoy the cinema, pool and great community centre and am actively involved inside and outside of the village” VIRGINIA

FOCUS ON … Seniors Week

VOLUNTEERS ENJOY THE ’HELPER’S HIGH’ Volunteering can be a rewarding and satisfying activity in later life.

With a fantastic array of opportunities available in all sorts of areas, people report that volunteering is one of the most enjoyable things they can do.

Every year in Australia volunteering contributes billions of dollars to the economy.

In a societal sense, volunteering helps to strengthen communities, foster connectedness and improve participation.

Taking the opportunity to give back, volunteers appreciate meaningful ways to be involved in their community, connect with people, combat isolation or loneliness and make a worthwhile contribution.

It is a great way to meet new people and gain new friends, and it provides a purpose and a reason to get out and about.

Volunteers can do something they are interested in, work flexibly and really make a difference to the lives of others.

And older volunteers have much to give - they have the experience and the patience which is often required, they are genuine about making a contribution and really understand and are connected to their community.

And for the volunteers themselves, volunteering results in a “helper’s high”, a powerful physical and emotional feeling people get when they help others.

Senior volunteers can often provide the emotional warmth and insight that provides

Older people make good volunteers. service users with real value. And the volunteers themselves love it.

It really is a win-win-win - for the volunteer, the person, organisation or cause they are helping, and for the community.

There are estimated to be many thousands of not-for-profit community organisations operating in the state. The majority are informal and rely entirely on volunteers.

They include all sorts of organisations

and work - in the arts and heritage, business and professional, welfare and community, education and training, animal welfare, emergency services, health and the environment, children and youth, and across religions.

FOCUS ON … Seniors Week

OUTINGS FOR THE SENIORS

BY MARGARET MACCOLL Are you looking to get out of the house without having to drive?

Noosa Community Support (NCS) provides various activities, a healthy threecourse lunch at the Noosaville Centre and can arrange transport to and from the venue.

Activities range from social outings, indoor and outdoor entertainment and games, gardening therapy, tinker in the workshop, have a manicure or a pedicure

and learn the world of broadband and how to use iPads, tablets and laptops.

The Social Support Group activities provide interaction for clients who feel isolated while at the same time provide respite for carers. The centre operates five days per week (with the exception of public holidays) generally within the hours of 9.30am to 2.30pm.

NCS also offer other services including care and share social groups in the Hinterland areas (with return transport), in-

home support (personal care, social support and assistance with shopping and medical appointments) and allied health services (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, podiatry, counselling and psychologist).

Noosa Home Assist Secure is another service offered by Noosa Community Support.

For full details check out www. noosacommunitysupport.com.au or phone 07 5329 6175. NCS is located at 11 Wallace Drive, Wallace Park, Noosaville. ●

EXTROVERTS PUT EFFORT IN in the type of activities contributing to the happiness of individuals.

Seniors like incentives to volunteer A recent study found being involved in productive activities, particularly volunteering, has important benefits for older people. The study by Angus and Reeve in 2010 looked at what encouraged and discouraged older people to volunteer.

The study spoke to members of a national seniors organisation.

It found governments and organisations need to consider many issues if more seniors are to be attracted to volunteering.

Incentives to encourage volunteering were seen to be particularly important.

Volunteers also wanted more training, more flexible and diverse options, and more opportunities to volunteer with people of different ages. ●

“Your help was simple, to the point and relevant which made it so much easier to organise from our end. Add to that the fact you are a really pleasant person in every way, which makes you a package!”

Pete Brody (in assisting with his mother Marg’s service needs) 12361695-LN33-17

Extroverts achieve greater happiness in older age when they put their efforts into a combination of social and physical activities interspersed with restful activities.

A study in the Journal of Gerontology in July 2011 asked more than 400 participants to complete a monthly electronic diary survey over a two-year period to record activities and happiness scores.

The results show that happiness increases when older adults combine effortful social, physical, cognitive, and household activities with restful activities.

However, there was a direct relationship between social activity and happiness among extroverts compared to their lowextrovert counterparts.

So while exercise and social activities lead to greater happiness among older adults, personality traits play a decisive role

Have a fun day out with NCS.

AROUND THE GROUNDS PIRATES FACE HIGH STAKES

STUNNING JUMP

BY JOY RINGROSE

The audience gasped as Cooroy’s Billy’s Raymont took his horse, Anton, where no other horse had dared to go, to win the Caboolture qualifying round of the Pacific League World Cup Showjumping series.

Billy had the fastest time out of the 27 horses competing in the first round of this two round event. This gave him the advantage of being last rider to jump.

The best 12 horses qualified to go through to the second round, but only four of them had had clear first rounds.

Most of the best showjumping horses in the nation came to Queensland to compete in this event, and the riders, which included several Olympians, came from all over Australia and New Zealand.

Held at the beautiful State Equestrian centre on Saturday night, the jumps were huge, and the jumping spectacular.

Several horses stopped at the massive final jump, and others crashed and burned elsewhere.

In the second round, many took the course at breakneck

Billy Raymont and Anton. speed, but still did not get inside Anton’s incredible time of 76.23 seconds.

In the second round, several jumps were removed, and the course made more difficult.

Victoria’s James Arkins, on Da Vinci’s Pride, sizzled around clear in 43.69 seconds, but had a knockdown in the first round, for 4 faults. Only one other competitor did two clear rounds, and that was Sydney’s Gabrielle Kuna, on the massive, powerful grey horse Cera Cassiago, who came home in the final round, where time is the final decider, in a careful

TOUGH ROUND FOR CROQUET TEAM NOOSA CROQUET CLUB In the competition for the golf form of croquet, Noosa 2 enjoyed a bye while Noosa 1 travelled to Caloundra and came away with a loss after a very tough morning.

In matches, the teams were tied at five apiece; Caloundra won on a hoops countback of 48 to 51. The handicap system again worked against Noosa with a significant number of few hits awarded the Caloundra players.

The individual match scores with Noosa players and scores shown first: Belinda Anstock fell to Doug Jones 3:5 and also lost to Lyn Carden 4:5; Joan Cordell succumbed to Lyn Carden 5:2 but won handily against Doug Jones 7:1.

In the other singles Margaret Lewins played Margaret Brown and won 7:4 but lost 5:7 to Cathy McBrien; Ed Boyd won each of his singles 5:2, first taking down Cathy McBrien and then Margaret Brown.

In the doubles Margaret and Ed combined against Margaret McBrien and Cathy, defeating them narrowly 10:9.

There are six rounds left in the regular season so the nine teams in the race still all consider themselves contenders for the shield. ● LADIES HIT THE GOLF COURSE COOROY GOLF CLUB - WOMEN THURSDAY Second Round Club Championships; Monthly Medal – Stroke and Putts. Trophy: Bissett Electrical Contractors, Pomona.

time of 51.54 seconds. Billy had to get inside this time, and go clear, to better this score.

Anton did not appear to be going fast, but he was covering a huge amount of ground with his big open strides between the jumps.

The altered final course had two 180 degree turns, and a corner jump that could be taken with a 90 degree turn, or cut with a 45 degree approach, risking the horse hitting the wall, or crashing the jump.

Billy, confident in Anton’s brilliance, cut many seconds off his time by doing short 90 degree turns, and taking the tight inside line on this corner, a line that no other rider had dared to take.

Anton shaved the jump, and zoomed home to take the last massive jump in a sizzling 44.39 seconds, clearing the last jump seven seconds ahead of his nearest rival.

This win puts Billy and Anton clearly on the top of the World Cup leader board, having gained maximum points in the first Qualifying round at Gatton the previous weekend. ●

try right on the final siren to tie the game at 18 points all.

The home supporters showed signs of delirium while the Pirates whose finals spot was assured with the result, were left wandering what had happened.

Rest assured, the boys will be on the paddock this week, making sure that this doesn’t happen again.

Try scorers: Cam Nelson 2, Mitch Pardon 1 and Jon Broad 1.

Goals: Seaton Reid 1.

Division 1 soon followed with the season on the line for both teams. Whoever won this game was finals bound, the loser left to lick their wounds and prepare for next year.

Caboolture played like their lives depended on it, scoring at ease, leaving the Pirates stunned and disillusioned.

A try just before half time to the Pirates saw them go in to the break 26 points adrift.

With 40 minutes left in the season that was rapidly coming to a close only the die-hard supporters and playing staff still had some hope that things could turn around.

What happened in that 40 minutes had to be seen to be believed. I was present and am still coming to terms with what I witnessed.

Proposed Development From: To:

Last Saturday saw the Noosa Pirates travel south to Caboolture to take on the Snakes with serious repercussions for the loser of these games.

Unfortunately, the season ended a week earlier than planned for the under-18s who had to forfeit the final encounter of the year due to lack of numbers.

To the coach and his players that stuck together during the season, the club would like to thank you for your efforts in very trying times.

You showed immense pride in yourselves and the jersey you wore this season, so be proud of the effort you put in, and let's build on 2018 as one of prosperity.

Division 2 saw the Noosa Pirates take on Caboolture in a game they didn’t want to lose to keep their finals aspirations intact.

Things started well for the Pirates, taking a commanding 12-point lead into the main break.

It appeared to be smooth sailing for the Pirates, when out of nowhere the Snakes bit back and bit back hard.

Trailing by 12 points with just six minutes to go in the game, Caboolture sprung from nowhere. They scored twice in the remaining time, with the last

Greentree or maybe some divine intervention from the Bloke upstairs, the Pirates played like a team possessed, chipping away at what appeared to be an insurmountable lead.

With the final siren just moments away, the Pirates prayers were answered, scoring with just seconds remaining.

With a successful conversion after the siren, the scores were locked at 32 points-all.

All were stunned that the Pirates had escaped from the jaws of defeat. That result ensured that the Noosa Pirates would once again be part of the finals campaign .

LIFE OF BRINE

PHIL JARRATT

Sunny Coaster Julian Wilson jumped to number five on the World Surf League leaderboard on Monday, when he came from behind to take out former world champion Gabriel Medina to take the Billabong Pro Tahiti title. It was a tense battle between the two rivals, with the same result as at the Rip Curl Peniche Pro in Portugal several years ago, when Julian took his first tour victory.

LESSONS FROM

GARTH the authentic story.

I’d been living overseas for some years, and although I’d known Garth personally since the early ‘90s, I didn’t fully appreciate the powerhouse that USM had become.

I soon found out at our weekly management meetings, where Garth was so busy managing his diverse business affairs (one of them being the sale of USM, as it turned out) that festival matters were left largely in the hands of his capable team.

Except that nothing escaped him, and if he didn’t agree with the way things were heading, he was suddenly a quiet but authoritative presence in the room, steering us back onto the well-trodden path that led to success.

The surfing side of things was pretty much left to me and contest director Alan Atkins (who is still with the festival) but around it USM created a star-studded program of off-beach events and charity fundraisers, and a huge concert finale in the Lions Park.

With champions like Mick Fanning, Steph Gilmore, Shaun Tomson and Tom Carroll in attendance, we raised more than $100,000 for local charities in one crazy night, and it was easily the biggest festival up to that point.

It was a steep learning curve for both Garth and myself, but despite our business and cultural differences, I don’t recall that a harsh word ever passed between us. That

time

wasn’t the way he operated.

Alas, a surfing festival didn’t quite fit the cookie-cutter mould of the other events in the USM stable, and with few economies of scale that worked, it became difficult for USM to sustain, and the company pulled out in 2009.

I don’t regret that for a moment.

Our family company took over the licence and I was joined in its management by my daughter, Sam Smith.

Using the basic template of sport, lifestyle and entertainment for all of the family that Garth had shown me, we have grown the Festival of Surfing (now supported by lead sponsor Laguna Real Estate) every year since, until it is now the biggest event of its kind in the world. And the most fun.

Make it big and make it fun. Straight out of the Garth Prowd playbook.

BRINE GOES BIG! The Halse Lodge Noosa launch of my memoir, Life Of Brine, was a cracker last week, with people coming from all over to enjoy a night of great acoustic music from the Band of Frequencies’ OJ and Shannon, a couple of short films from Panga Productions, and a lot of laughs along the way.

Often overlooked as a backpackers-only venue, Halse is really a perfect place for a relaxing function or get-together in a chilled,

As you read this, I’ll be winging my way to Timor Leste to start a new adventure with my filming buddy Shaun Cairns - about which more next week - and so I’ll miss the memorial service for Garth Prowd in the Noosa Woods tomorrow.

I’m sure the tributes will be many and heartfelt, in the manner of Ron Lane’s beautiful farewell to Garth in these pages last week, so I won’t add superfluous words here.

Rather, I’d just like to share a memory of working with Garth on the Noosa Festival of Surfing back in 2008.

During 2007, the then-president of the Noosa Malibu Club, Norm Innis and I worked with Garth and his team at USM Events to construct a deal whereby the fastest-growing sports event company in Australia would take over the ailing surf festival under licence and put it on the path to profitability. Although he was a good surfer, still riding a shortboard well into middle age, Garth’s focus was ironman and triathlon.

He’d never run a surfing event, whereas I had run many, including the founding years of the Noosa surf festival. So he hired me to run the surfing parts, while he and the USM team concentrated on putting our event on the global sporting stage.

For good measure, he also hired former Australian surf champ and reporter Darren “Flex” Landers, to make sure the media got

The launch was one of a few events I’ve been involved with at Halse recently, and at each one, some one has commented, “Wow, I live in Noosa and never knew this place existed!”

So, as Molly used to say, do yourselves a favour.

Prior to flying out of the country this week, I will have done more launches in Sydney and my old stomping ground (literally) of Wollongong. Looking forward (well, backwards by the time you read this) to that one. ●

MAKING THEIR MOVES WITHOUT SERENA U9 NOOSA FINS 30 V BROTHERS 50 Missing a star forward with Serena away walking on the moon CJ got things rolling with a typical darting run finding his mate Harry with a lovely offload. As usual Ethan, James and Wilkie were tireless at the ruck winning valuable ball where speedy half Charlie gave the opposition a sniff of dust sprinting up the side line to score. Both Richie and Charlie let Brothers know what it’s like to run without legs and tight forward Phoenix made his presence felt with a magic crash ball to level the score early. Rory and Jaxon again chewed up yards as they combined with some nice back line running and passing. Dominoes player of the week was Charlie McKerrow. ● U11 NOOSA REDS 21 D SAINTS 12 With great commitment to training and Saturday games throughout the year, under-11 Reds brought their ‘A’ game to beat The Saints 21-12, with the mighty Reds forwards working hard across the whole pitch to gain metres in possession and great pressure in defence, they provided clean, fast ball to the backs.

Straight confident running and rewarding support play gained metres up the middle, leading to our captain of the day, Pearl, scoring three excellent tries, with Fynn and Nick completing the Dolphins scorecard. It was our whole team with cameo run-ons by four mighty Fins subs, all players grafting together as mates to have great fun and play entertaining rugby.

Played in great spirit, both teams tackled hard, rucked well and provided a great game to watch for proud parents and families. ●

Things got intense as players tried their hardest.

U13 NOOSA 59 D FLINDERS 26 Noosa’s unbeaten run continues, with one round to go until the semi-finals, the boys have guaranteed top spot on the ladder and are 16 points clear of their nearest rivals. Hard work and dedication to the team does pay off especially when combined with the talent on display in this match, where the Dolphins had too much for a spirited Flinders side to handle. Great work and pressure in the forwards helped open the opposition line, exploited by speed and power from the backs with hat-tricks for Josh Whitehill and Max Ruster.

Tries: Josh Whitehill (3), Max Ruster (3), Lachie Dudgeon, Jarrah Charlesworth, Jason Burns.

Cons: Jarrah Charlesworth (6), Josh Whitehill. ●

LATE WINTER WEATHER PERFECT FOR THE REEF The last of the winter weather is a great time to head for the reefs; with light winds and low swells this makes for perfect offshore fishing conditions. Water temperatures at the moment are perfect for reef fishing, and with this we are seeing some good quality snapper. Anglers making the trip to the Barwon Banks have been well rewarded with snapper to 5kg, some cracker pearlies and some sensational cobia. Sunshine Reef is a favourite for the anglers with smaller craft, and there have been some great snapper and trout taken from this reef with soft plastics being a favourite among anglers. North Reef is also producing some great catches, with snapper and jewies really giving anglers a workout. Soft plastics fishing has been working a treat. Some great colours that have been getting the runs on the board have been Nuclear Chicken, Coconut Ice, and Motor Oil. Micro jiggers have also been making their presence felt with plenty of great fish taken on the flat fall style jigs.

On the beach, it is all about the tailor, with good quality fish a fairly common thing. The hot spot has been north of Teewah, Sunshine and Marcus Beaches with some good fish taken on the late tide. Good quality bait is the key, so those old pilchards that have been in the freezer since last year

Taking plenty of mates with you is also key, as the more baits in the water the better as the schools will hang around and feed.

Look for those gutter and deeper holes and fish the morning and late afternoons tide

should see you with some quality fish.

In the rivers, we have had an outstanding bream season. This time of year they school up in big numbers as they spawn and are willing to take a wide variety of lures and baits. Throughout Woods Bay small soft plastic curly tail lures have been nailing some quality fish. When targeting bream on soft plastics, jig head selection is quite important, as you want the lure to sink fairly slowly and stay in their face. Dropping your leader size too will see better numbers, with most anglers opting for a 3 to 6lb leader when targeting these wary fish. If you want to soak a bait for a bream, fresh strips of mullet are pretty hard to go past. Elsewhere in the river, the Noosa sound has been providing some spectacular surface sessions lately, with good schools of tailor and trevally schooling up and smashing bait fish.

Surface lures in the low light periods have been perfect with both popper and surface walkers getting the job done. Once the sun gets a little higher in the sky, soft plastic and micro jigs are the way to go with another plus of throwing soft plastics and jigs is they also bring some other species into the equation such as large flathead bream and queenfish.

So, on behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures! ● noosatoday.com.au

BETWEEN THE FLAGS

RON LANE

CELEBRATING SURF CLUB’S HISTORY In what can only be described as one of the best reunions ever in the history of the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club, some one hundred members gathered to celebrate the fifty years since the Murgon Wondai invasion.

It wasn’t just those who invaded that attended, but oldies from Brisbane and Noosa; they also turned up to make it an occasion to remember.

One of the highlights was the attendance of the sons and daughters of the past clubbies who until “Sensational Saturday,” had never met their dads’ old mates.

In his welcome to the members, President Ross Fisher explained the importance of that period, in the history of the club. He then made special note of the outstanding effort of Kerry “Pencil” Sorensen to make the reunion such an outstanding success.

The casual joking by many that Noosa was in very big trouble regarding membership, and had been saved by the Murgan Mob was a indeed a fact of life.

When one considers the distance and time (three hours each way) that these volunteer bushies spent in travelling to and fro each weekend to patrol Main Beach, their contribution to the Noosa community should never be forgotten.

Following the president, Liam - one of the originals in the Duggan brothers - spoke of what it meant to his brother Tom and him to drive three hours from the family cattle station in the South Burnett to do

Brothers Liam, Tommy and Tim Duggan.

The Irvine family reunion. their patrols at Noosa Beach.

“The fact that we were doing something good for the district was good, but the memories and above all the mateship that was formed made it all worthwhile. It is something that we will have with us forever.”

A special moment in club history was noted, when the originator and designer of the club’s sporting badge, the now famous Seahorse emblem (now also used by the Seahorse Nippers) Russell Harrop, was introduced to the crowd.

It is interesting to note that the entire Brisbane-based Harrop family, had a big involvement with the club during the 1960s.

This was just another family who travelled hours each weekend, so that

their sons - Russell and Greg - could fulfil their patrol obligations as lifesavers on an Australian beach.

The official part of the evening was followed by a presentation of slides which covered all aspects of club life during the years 1970-’80. All in all a fitting tribute to a great band of brothers - the bushies from the South Burnett.

It is sad but true that too many times the dedication of our volunteers is taken for granted and now with the growing trend to sue if something goes wrong during a rescue situation, it makes one ask the question - why volunteer? Oh by the way, they also pay to join.

The 2017/’18 season is fast approaching and the 25 members of the Inflatable Rescue

Boat (IRB) teams, drivers and crewies, travelled to Noosa’s North Shore to do their proficiencies.

With the day starting at 7am and going through till 11.30, the time spent assured that all aspects of their training and abilities were carefully scrutinised.

With the ever increasing demand on the courtesy patrolling of these teams (which covers an area from North Shore to Alexandria Bay) to ensure that a high standard of teamwork and discipline is ever present is of the utmost importance.

Over the hill our brothers in arms, Sunshine Beach, are also looking towards the next season.

That vital component of the future, the Nippers, will have their sign-on for next season on 3 and 10 September and their Sunday morning activities will commence 1 October. Plenty of notice - so please note. ●

SAILORS GET READY TO RACE TO VICTORY The racing season is about to begin at the Lake Cootharaba Sailing Club in Boreen Point.

Club racing for juniors, monohulls, catamarans, trailer sailers and sailboards is held each Sunday for members and visitors.

LCSC is a family-orientated, not-forprofit organisation and is reliant on its volunteer members to organise both onwater and shore-based activities.

New members, both sailing and social, are always welcome to help out with any activity around the club, particularly with the race management side of this.

Members are taught basic skills to be able to detect wind direction and set courses for the competitors and to act as a timekeeper for the starts and finishes.

Weekly training sessions are conducted most Sunday mornings by Australian Sailing accredited coaches.

During the September school holidays, the club runs ‘Try Sailing’ days for adults and for juniors.

These days are a great opportunity for a family to come along and see what LCSC is all about and experience the exciting and rewarding sport of sailing.

The club owns a small fleet of Vagabonds that make for very stable training dinghies and can easily accommodate both adults and children.

They also have sailboards, catamarans, lasers and skiffs available for learners.

The club holds four annual regattas that attract competitors from all over the state as noosatoday.com.au

Sailing on Lake Cootharaba. well as northern NSW. LCSC also hosts state and national championships for many classes of boats with sailors travelling from across Australia

and overseas to compete.

The season kicks off with the All Boats Regatta on 19 and 20 August.

Club racing and training starts on

Sunday 3 September.
