THE BLACK SORROWS ARE COMING

BY HOLLIE HARRIS

hunting will begin.

The Black Sorrows continue to be one of Australia's most enduring touring bands and they are coming to Tewantin Noosa RSL on Sunday 26 August. The news gets even better - we are offering one very lucky reader a double pass to see them play!

At the helm, Joe Camilleri steers the band through an energetic interplay of solid grooves and well-crafted songs that mix those well-worn ingredients of blues, soul, R&B, gospel, country and even Brill Building pop. The Black Sorrows have won the ARIA for Best Band and sold more than two million albums worldwide. Their Tewantin show starts with support act, Shane Kells at 1.30pm and the Black Sorrows are on stage from 3pm.

To enter the competition, simply email "COMPETITIONS" at newsdesk@ noosatoday.com.au with your name and phone number by Wednesday 11 July and you could be off to see The Black Sorrows next month. ●

THIS WEEK WE’RE TALKING ABOUT…

‘NO COAL’ MESSAGE IS DELIVERED

BY MARGARET MACCOLL No new coal mines was the chief message a group of orderly protestors delivered on Saturday when they walked their visual message down Hastings Street and along the boardwalk in Noosa Heads.

The protest march was part of a national action against new coal mines held in locations around the country.

Stop Adani Sunshine Coast’s Peter Hogg who led the march said the second message was to show people the effects of climate change by letting them know that according to Coastalrisk.org Noosa River waters would innundate some areas in Noosa

Heads by 2050.

He said more coal mining would lead to the release of more emissions which would only exacerbate the situation, he said. Peter applauded the action of Noosa Council which responded to a request from Cooran Earth Rights and passed a motion to not support coal mining or coal seam gas exploration in the shire.

He said the action showed what impact a small group of dedicated people could achieve.

Stop Adani Sunshine Coast was joined in the protest by representatives from groups Lock the Gate, Climate Action Sunshine Coast and Cooran Earth Rights. ●

Lindsay Goward joined in the protest.

COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING FOR STATE FOREST CONVERSION A Special Meeting held by Noosa Council last week moved forward a first-of-its-kind project to purchase state forest and convert it to conservation land over a 10-year period.

The agreement on involves HQ plantations, state and local governments and not-for-profit organisation Noosa Parks Association.

The deal will result in an addition of about 2400 ha of conservation land in Noosa Shire and includes 1,492 ha in

the Ringtail (879 ha) and Yurol (613 ha) Forest area that will begin rehabilitation after five years plantation.

The project aims to provide connected and protected conservation areas between council and state owned land.

Noosa Council's contribution toward the project of $1,166,000 and the balance of NPA's contribution of $625,000 will be funded from the 2018/19 Environment Levy revenue and cash reserves. This money will

contribute to the cost of compensation to HQ Plantations of surrendering the pine harvest licence rights over the forest.

NPA will reimburse Council in five annual payments of $125,000 commencing 12 months after the signing of a State Funding Deed with further contributions towards rehabilitation.

Council officers recommended Council proceed with the project's Deed of Funding subject to Treasury approval.

Council will hold another Special Meeting tomorrow from 9.30am to determine its operational plan and annual $128m budget which includes operating expenditure of $95.5m, capital expenditure of $29.1m and loan repayments of $3.3m.On average under the budget ratepayers can expect to pay an increased rate charge of 2.4 per cent or $35 which includes an increase of $15 in the three-bin waste collection charge. ●

COVER STORY

SAVING OUR MEN

BY HOLLIE HARRIS s Savage makes a worthy call. This is an issue we need to talk about at great length, but for as long as I can recall, the Aussie bloke doesn't do much of one thing - and that's talking. We need to get our guys talking! In an increasingly dis-connected society, it's time to CHOOSE to re-connect again.

With the help of local psychologist Dave Clarke, we hope to give the guys out there, parents of young men, wives, sisters or friends who are concerned a nudge to seek help early on if things are getting tough.

"We need to continue to destigmatise depression, anxiety and stress, and to legitimise and in fact applaud help-seeking, especially in men, but also of course in our women and young people," Dave says.

With an average of six men now taking their lives every single day in this country, it's time for change and we need to do this while our men are young. Life is precious and precarious. We are struggling as a whole, across the human front - let's get better at this.

DEPRESSION Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide and is a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease.

People who have gone through adverse life events (unemployment, bereavement, psychological trauma) are more likely to develop depression.

Prolonged or excessive job stress is a risk factor for mental health problems, and accounts for 13 per cent of depression in working men Depression will say to you 'suck it up, get through it, everyone else can cope, toughen up. Its saps enthusiasm and optimism and it feels VERY much individual and permanent. But, trust and know IT CAN CHANGE. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Even if it feels out of reach, you can heal from mental health issues - sometimes even stronger than before. Dave Clarke is passionate about helping clients through depression and anxiety. He has his own journey with depression and has learned how to incorporate strong foundations of self-care in his life to maintain his health for

"The world lost Anthony Bourdain to suicide.

My request today is for you to check on your mates and those you ride with.

We need to do better at encouraging men to reach out. Men take their own lives at four times the rate of women.

Men experience more illness, more accidents, and die earlier. A boy born in Australia in 2010 has a life expectancy of 78 years while a baby girl born at the same time could expect to live to 82.3 years old.

This week, and every week, find a way to promote the physical and mental health of those you love. Go for a ride, talk about what matters to you, be there to help.

Yours sincerely, Anne Savage Chief Executive Officer Bicycle Queensland."

the past 16 years.

"I have had two separate significant bouts of depression, one around 16 years ago, which responded quickly to treatment, and one about 10 years prior to that whilst living in the UK," he says.

Dave sought treatment and had a very rapid recovery with his second bout of depression and has learned how to self-care these days.

"Challenging the unhelpful cognitive habits that we fall into is the central key to treating depression, but its best done when you are maintaining a stable foundation of healthy self-care."

The four corners of this foundation are sleep; exercise; nutrition; and stress management (which focuses on replacing unhelpful methods such as self-medicating with alcohol or other substances, with more helpful and grounding approaches such as mindfulness, music or sport).

"This is a foundation that I now coach all my clients in, regardless of whether we are working on mood management, relationships or family work," "Just as a sturdy house needs to be built

on a robust foundation, any psychological work that my clients and I conduct needs to be based on a stable foundation of self-care."

"Use technology in ways that work for you rather than against yourself. For example, mood management smartphone apps such as Smiling Mind and the resource-rich Calm app provide ample novel avenues to improve your stress management and enhance overall self-care and wellbeing. Calm provides a great deal of psychoeducation and in fact has fantastic resources regarding what it terms the four pillars of self-care."

OUR YOUNG GUYS ARE DOING IT TOUGH Young men are less likely to seek help, with only 13 per cent of young men aged 16 to 24 years seeking help for a mental health and are less likely than any other group to get help. Four out of five are afraid of what others will think of them.

Long-standing research suggesting one in five adolescents experience depression by the time they reach 18 years of age. 50 per cent of mental health conditions emerge by age 14, so it's vital to intervene as early as possible.

noosatoday.com.au

Dave Clarke helping men find their light again.

A difficult experience may affect our kids for days or even weeks. A big move, a death in the family, or just going through a tough time. A low mood which is accompanied by other symptoms - lack of sleep, loss of appetite, severe irritability, loss of energy and interest in usual activities indicates a possible depressive illness. Sometimes, the illness can creep in without any major reason at all. If we keep a look out for early signs, we can seek help sooner.

SO WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? "Disconnection is also at the heart of depression - not only real, social isolation, but You can improve your mental health by • Spending time in nature • Opening up to friends and family.

Sometimes you don't realise how much you need them.

• Get off your phone. Scrolling down Facebook or escaping in pornography will make you feel worse in the long run.

Delete it off your phone, unsubscribe, technology detox. It's the addiction of

even the perception that we are 'going it alone' and that no-one understands," says Dave.

"Our young people are growing up in a paradoxical digital world, which promises interconnection but actually delivers isolation. I believe that Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms, if not well managed and self-regulated, cause dissatisfaction with life to fester, and that they breed loneliness and discontent with our lot in life.

"We spend hours each day glued to a screen and silently reviewing the posts of other people rather than talking, playing this decade and proving to cause serious mental health issues.

• Meditation. Learning how to meditate can change your life. Your brain is the most powerful muscle in the body and just as you work a muscle at the gym to gain power and strength, meditation builds strength to focus in our minds.

When your thoughts are negative or erratic, you can pull it back into line

ever have. Because beneath the struggle and complexity of mid-life lies a deep reservoir of experience, perspective, and knowledge - all of which you can leverage toward a dramatic reinvention.

The good news is, millions of men who have been through this phase can testify that on the other end of the transition, there is a new perspective and intense satisfaction. It is always important to explore all avenues and ask for help when the need arises instead of suffering in silence. Life is precious, uncertain and it can begin at any age.

Prevention programs have been shown to reduce depression. Effective community approaches to prevent depression include school-based programs to enhance a pattern of positive thinking in children and adolescents. Interventions for parents of children with behavioural problems may reduce parental depressive symptoms and improve outcomes for their children.

Our lives have grown so complicated these days and we must equip our youths with significant education and prevention strategies for wellbeing and mental health within the school curriculum. The statistics are screaming out for this. ●

and simply living with the people that surround us. Valuable, healthy relationship time with family and friends is sacrificed and we end up thumbing through the lives of other people, or at least the glamorised, distorted version of it that is airbrushed onto social media.

"This actually only serves to increase the sense of loss, absence or discontent that people develop. I have increasing numbers of clients, primarily men, listing their achievements, possessions, and supposedly idyllic lifestyles, but caught in the paradox of emptiness and purposelessness. It's no surprise that recent studies suggest that heavier social media usage more than triples the risk of anxiety and depression compared to milder social media usage."

These days, we are embracing the disappearance of the family culture. Why? Remember those non-negotiable Aussie family gatherings, Sunday dinners with inlaws and weekend BBQ's? A few decades ago, the extended family unit kept close and grew up together and socialised regularly. Love them or hate them, these were traditions had great value to the family unit. Our men had a sense of place within the tribe.

Being raised within a community is so very important for our sons to identify themselves among the pack. Sadly, we mostly live at distance from family, relatives and community these days preferring to stick to ourselves and disconnect or busy ourselves with renovations. Men don't tend to sit at the pub after work for a beer and de-brief anymore - they bury their heads in a phone and look at glimpses of other people's lives online, which feeds the problem. We need to make changes toward re-connecting with family and friends and talking again.

Many mid-life males will reassess their accomplishments relative to earlier dreams. This anxiety over their current achievements usually causes a period of depression that can be debilitating.

According to the research, the happiness does return and this period can also offer some of the greatest opportunities you'll

IN A NUTSHELL Being on a waiting list to access treatment makes recovery, especially from depression, that much harder and longer to achieve. It is so important to reach out with the earliest signs.

"Local research suggests that waiting lists for psychology services in the greater Noosa area are between one or two weeks to more than a month, which is one of the reasons that at my clinic we reserve appointment times each and every week for new referrals, so that treatment commences the same week that doctors refer or individual decide to seek help," Dave says.

"Guys, seeking help is the smart and strong thing to do, even though it may seem difficult at first. It most definitely is not a sign of weakness.

"If you are struggling and finding it hard to reach out, I challenge you ask a mate what they would do if they were struggling with mood, or whether they might consider seeking help from a psychologist - you may be very surprised at the number of men around you who have already taken the steps to taking back that more fulfilling and rewarding life!" ●

easily when you meditate regularly.

• Create a lifestyle and working life that is aligned with your own health and happiness.

• Most of all, seek professional help recruit valuable, informed support to redesign your attitude, lifestyle and self-care habits in a way that fosters human connectedness rather than disconnection.

MARKET TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT Forget plastic free, Noosa Farmers Market aims to go totally waste-free with only compostables to show from its Sunday markets.

Market operator Shane Stanley said their plastic bag ban which began Sunday in line with Queensland legislation was just the beginning of their anti-plastic campaign.

"We made sure from today the (single use) plastic bags are gone," he said on Sunday.

"We've noticed some reusable bags being used. They have to go as well."

Shane hopes within the next two months once the stall holders current stock had been exhausted all plastic would be removed from the market.

He said traders were keen to make the changes and had already been moving in that direction.

Shane said they had been working with Plastic Free Noosa to find alternative products with cryovac products proving a bit of a challenge at present.

"It'll happen with innovations in that area," he said.

"The farmers waste goes to chooks and pigs. We're looking at composters and worm farms."

Shane said they would look at

possibilities onsite of public recycling and composting and he hopes to make the markets an example in the community.

"It's about the environment," he said. "We're looking at solutions for the community not just the market. Hopefully that spreads throughout the community."

The Waste Reduction and Recycling Amendment Act 2017 came into effect on Sunday 1 July banning plastic shopping bags. Supermarkets, greengrocers, bakeries, chemists, restaurants and clothes stores, as well as market-stall holders and organisations which supply single-use plastic shopping bags, are included in the ban.

Retailers may choose to provide and charge for alternative bags, which can include reusable heavy-duty plastic bags, woven polypropylene 'green' bags, paper or other bags or bring their own.

People found to be in breach of the laws may face fines up to $6,300. ●

With the countdown on to the Noosa Alive festival, which begins on Friday 20 July, last week entertainers were working on costumes and festival goers were selecting their top choices from the program.

With pink the dominant colour in performer Doolie's costumes she was last Friday selecting between various pink fabrics as she discussed with costume designer Cindy Vogels outfits she would wear when she performs at the Hot 91.1 Fire in the Sky free community event at the Lions Park, Gympie Terrace on Saturday 21 July.

Cindy, the founding designer of Racy and Lucky and whose hats have been worn by performer Lady Gaga, said she and Doolie had collaborated on five events prior to Noosa Alive.

Cindy said they would meet in cafes or back stage at performances to discuss future costumes and with fabrics to inspire the design a sketch for the outfit would be developed between them. Doolie said with costumes often on her mind if she spied a fabric she liked while out and about she would send Cindy a video image of it. With Doolie set to perform at Splendour in the Grass prior to Noosa Alive there were two costumes on the drawing board.

Noosa Alive visual arts curator Nina Shadforth, who is also Doolie's mother, said during the festival people could expect the unexpected with art popping up at different events. Nina said among the entertainers

12391907-EPJ28-18

Cameron Spooner and his mother Mandy are on a mission to rid Noosa of plastic straws and reduce the risk to marine creatures of ingesting plastic.

Last Friday nine-year-old Cam addressed his Peregian Springs State School to tell his classmates about the dangerous effects of plastic straws on the environment and marine life that ingest them.

Cam said he was a bit nervous about speaking in front of a crowd of about 500 but he wanted to tell them about a documentary called Straw that they had organised to show students to teach them more about the way wild animals confuse straws with their food.

"To animals they look like jellyfish and they will eat a plastic straw," Cam said.

"I want to help the environment."

In March Cam and his mother visited a number of cafes and restaurants around Noosa and enlisted their help to reduce the use of straws.

Cam said a number of cafes in Noosa and Peregian Beach stopped using plastic straws during his Straw-less March initiative, replacing them with straws made of bamboo, stainless steel, and paper.

Cam aims to expand his mission to the use of other plastics and is leading with example by using reusable bottles and

NOOSA TODAY 13

NEWS TEEN ROBBED AND BASHED AT BUS STOP A 16-year-old boy was waiting for a bus at the Noosaville transit centre about 2.30pm last Friday when he was attacked by a group of 6-10 males.

Noosa police were told the boy started running but was hit from behind, punched numerous times and held on the ground.

During the incident one of the males called another Jasper.

The teen's wallet was taken and a witness located him taking cover in the bushes.

Investigations are continuing. ●

NBRF LAYS PLANS FOR FUNDING CERTAINTY Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation has welcomed its new funding agreement with Noosa Council and has submitted its 10-year periodic review to state and federal governments.

NBRF deputy chair Clare Cartwright said it was a welcome evolution for the organisation and its relationship with Council and the community.

"Our focus will be on fundraising excellence to continue the 3:1 return for ratepayers on projects we support," she said.

As part of the new relationship, Council will take on the responsibility as manager of the Noosa Biosphere Reserve with the NBRF focusing its agenda on supporting science-backed projects in collaboration with the community and other stakeholders.

"Under the new arrangements, our process for seeking funding approval from Council for projects that support key priority areas will change as we will champion projects to Council as well as other funding sources."

"This is a timely review as the

Foundation has now finalised its formal 10-year periodic review to UNESCO and prepares to launch its Noosa Biosphere Strategy for the next 10 years."

The periodic review has been approved by Noosa Council and after review by state and federal governments will be delivered to UNESCO. The report will then be considered by the Advisory Committee for Biosphere Reserves for recommendation to International Co-ordinating Council.

Ms Cartwright said a draft NBRF Strategic Plan which would set the direction for the foundation and the charitable trust over the next 10 years was being finalised for consultation.

"We are confident that focusing our expertise in strategic project support will have a greater positive impact on our biosphere reserve community and we look forward to starting our new agenda for the next three to ten years," she said. ●

GROUPS GAIN FUNDING A skating program for top skateboarders, LED lighting for Tewantin Tennis Club and a new toilet block for Tewantin Noosa Pony Club are among the projects to be achieved through Noosa Council's community grants.

Council has approved more than $380,000 in community grants to help support more than 20 recipients across four categories - programs, events, equipment and infrastructure.

Included in the funding was Sunshine Coast Reconciliation Group's shared history seminar in Cooran plus Pomona and District Community House to help it upgrade its office and shed.

Council also approved a $15,000-perannum Community Alliance Grant for Noosa Community Training Centre, to help them continue to provide training programs for unemployed young people over the next three years.

And Council will put in place 23 new three-year funding agreements to help sports and community groups cover their field and community hall maintenance costs.

For more information on grants visit www.noosa.qld.gov.au/council-grants Council has updated its policy for trees on public land ●

TREE MANAGEMENT Noosa Council has updated its policy on managing trees on public land after fielding more than 2500 tree maintenance and removal requests in the past 12 months.

Councillor Brian Stockwell said under the policy Council will arrange offset planting where it is unavoidable that trees are to be removed and endeavour to get the right native species in the right location.

"The policy makes clear that there are a limited number of circumstances where trees may be removed or lopped - primarily to maintain public safety or reduce damage to buildings and infrastructure," he said.

CHRISTMAS IN JULY Santa's Classy Helpers will again be holding Christmas in July at the Boathouse, Gympie Terrace this year, on July 25 from 5.30pm.

PICTURE FRAMING Christopher Atkins, star of Blue Lagoon, with a Blue Lagoon cocktail.

A Hollywood star dropped into Noosa Junction last week to shine a light on the work of volunteers to assist turtles and maintain our beaches.

Star of the iconic 1980s movie, Blue Lagoon, Christopher Atkins, dropped into Eddie Cheeba's bar in Noosa Junction to help promote an upcoming screening of his famous film to raise funds for Coolum and Noosa North Shore Coast Care volunteers.

A keen conservationist and scuba diver Chris said he needed little convincing to get involved after long time friend Peter James Taylor of Noosa Beach Surf Hire mentioned the fundraiser event.

"I've spent half my life in the ocean and it's something I'm very passionate about," Chris said.

"Hopefully locals will come along and support a worthy cause - it promises to be a really fun night."

Blue Lagoon cocktails will be served up at the Gala Charity event, which will celebrate all things romance and retro. To support the conservation efforts, Chris will

be taking part in a Q&A session hosted by local Hot 91 Breakfast announcer Sam Coward. Along with a special screening of the movie, a highlight will be the charity auction, where guests will have the chance to bid for dinner with Chris at YEN Teppanyaki, along with other fabulous tropical temptations, including a 2-night stay at Peppers Noosa Resort & Villa and an overnight stay at RACV Noosa Resort.

Event organisers, Noosa Junction Association's Judi Lalor, and Tourism Noosa's Industry Development manager Juanita Bloomfield said they were thrilled with the support from Noosa Cinema, the local tourism industry and Junction businesses.

Coolum and North Shore Coast Care spokesman Chad Buxton said funds raised would assist volunteers with programs such as protecting turtle nesting sites, education and beach clean-up activities.

The charity screening will be held at Noosa Cinemas on 9 July.

THE LOWDOWN

MORE SYDNEYSIDERS CALL NOOSA HOME

BY HELEN FLANNAGAN Traditionally Interstate buyers have predominantly come from Victoria but a sharp up-take of high-end sales to Sydneysiders in recent years, has seen NSW buyers match the capital coming from Melbourne, according to real estate agent Tom Offermann.

"Anecdotally, it seems Sydney's increase has trebled in the past decade, while Melbourne buyer activity has remained steady," he said. "However, in the past financial year Noosa's prestige market has reached new heights. The market conditions are the strongest they have ever been and whilst the trend has seen an increase in buyers out of Sydney and Melbourne, fuelling the appetite and key drivers are expats and captains of industry in the tech and finance industries, who repatriated either themselves and/or their money. Multiple buyers vying for a property was common, even for the most valuable.

And what's even more surprising numerous properties were bought sight unseen."

Generally, last financial year's property market can be characterised across the board as a sellers' market with a shortage of properties for an increased number of buyers.

This provided steady capital growth and new price levels being achieved across most sectors.

This financial year began with a bang with the first-ever residential sale of over $10m of a Noosa Sound waterfront house.

Four more properties in this stratospheric

Tom Offermann league followed soon after. Highlights at the premium end were later negotiated at Sunshine Beach for $15.2m and $18m. The first $10m sale for the 2018/19 financial year has already been negotiated.

In all, there have been 35 prestige sales, that is properties over $3m, in Noosaville, Noosa Heads, Sunshine Beach and Sunrise Beach, of which Tom Offermann agents handled 28.

Offermann Real Estate's research also shows there were 1,168 settled sales of houses, units and land with a combined value of just over $1bn and an average price of $925,000. In comparison, in the previous year the number of sales were down around 10 per cent.

It was also a race to the financial year-end finishing line when 13 properties became unconditional in just nine days. Four properties were over $3m and three over $4m.

Holiday rental occupancy rates are near capacity, land stocks for new houses are virtually non-existent, and builders are continually in demand for renovating and re-builds, Tom said.

"Working with aspiring new residents and investors all day every day gives us a unique insight into the way Noosa is shaping into the future from a property and demographic's perspective," he said. "Only blue skies ahead for Noosa. There might be

some external influences such as a change of government or volatility in equity markets, but overall our future looks secure."

Tom said Noosa's dominant non-local resident buyers were Australians living on the eastern seaboard, in capital cities and country areas. "International buyers, those requiring Foreign Investment Approval, are not as active as many people think, making up just a few percent of the total market," he said. "Expats on the other hand have been far more active over the past year, especially at the high-end of the market, snapping up 50 per cent of the six $10m plus sales.

"The motivation continues to be split between coming here to live, to invest in a rental property, and to own a second home (apartment or house) where the family can spend precious time together. Purposely buying a Noosa property as a lure to attract their children and grandchildren to spend time with them is a growing trend."

There are no sites for future large-scale housing or apartment projects so there's no chance Noosa will become less competitive.

The elephant in the room is the Sunshine Coast airport expansion project and includes the construction of the new 2.5km EW runway. It will replace the one built in 1961 and is due to open in 2020. Increased domestic services and the addition of international flights, particularly into Asia, will undoubtedly have a significant effect on the local economy and make Noosa even more accessible. And more valuable. ●

WHY KEEP IT QUIET FOR SO LONG? club become a reality.

Then outside amongst the trees a circular running track of some 300m has been laid for the purpose of wind sprints and situated at various spots along the track are exercise stations.

Back inside the gym and working out in the ring with Mick on the punching pads, is perhaps one of the Noosa Ringside Boxing Clubs most outstanding success stories: and he is not a boxing champion.

His name is Paul Hennings and he is a young man with special needs.

Accompanied by his father Peter twice a week he attends the gym, sometimes working on exercise bikes and other times with the pads. "Since coming here and working with Mick his improvement has been terrific," said his father Peter. "He only trains for a short time but he loves the exercise. When I first bought him to the club we had a major problem just to get him through the door- now he can't get here quick enough."

Amongst Micks team of seven fighters is his 21 year old daughter Ruby. Boxing in the 69kg ladies division she won the North Queensland championship at the recent Mackay Games and Saturday night boxing in Brisbane she won the Queensland Novice Title.

As I stood and watched Mick working with Paul, it reminded me of two other local clubs that do similar work for those with special needs; one is the kindred Cooroy Impact Boxing Academy run by Mark Evans

Mark Hamilton and daughter Ruby. and the other the Noosa Seahorse Nippers run by Steve and Nikki Mawby. This is the other side of the coin for both amateur

boxing and surf lifesaving that a lot of people are unaware of; but why keep it quiet.

After all-- they are all Our People. â—?

12389839-LN24-18

The name of the club is Ringside Noosa and as far as clubs go at three years of age it is relative new. Its primary purpose is amateur boxing and physical fitness; the physical fitness being aimed at helping those wishing for a better life.

Situated at 2 Dath Henderson Rd, Tinbeerwah and like its kindred club the Impact Boxing Academy Cooroy, the gymnasium is nestled amongst the trees some 80m from the road. Sitting in the center of a 5 acre lot which is just a portion of a 25 acre property the owner/ trainer Mick Hamilton proudly informed me, "This gym was mainly built by community volunteers and backed up by local sponsorship," he said. "I can't thank these people enough, their support has been tremendous. Without their help it would have a really hard and long project."

In the center of the floor is the boxing ring and situated in various sections of the gym are the running machines, weight racks, space for skipping and floor calisthenics; and hanging from beams are the heavy punching bags and speed balls.

Attached to the walls just left of the entrance are the full length mirrors, the essential necessities for shadow boxing; and on other sections the posters advertising the exploits of yesterday's champions.

But in pride of place are names of sponsors such as Hendrie Brothers, Noosa Truss and Cooroy Mountain Springs,(just to name a few) companies which are helping to make Micks dream of a boxing

WHERE DOES YOUR FISH COME FROM? From Sunday food sold in retail stores needs to display its country of origin but the new requirements don’t include restaurants or cafes.

The Seafood Industry Australia wants labelling to be extended to all food outlets.

“The changes to Country of Origin Labelling in retail are excellent as they provide consumers with clear information on where their food comes from, which will allow them to make informed purchasing decisions, but retail is only half of the story,” Seafood Industry Australia CEO Jane Lovell said.

“Australians love their seafood and next to freshness, the country of origin is the second most influential factor for consumer choosing which seafood they buy,” she said.

“Twenty years ago almost all the seafood Australians ate was Australian seafood.

Most assume it still is. But, people are flabbergasted when they find out 70 per cent of seafood eaten in Australia is imported.”

Ms Lovell said they aren’t vilifying imported seafood, but believe consumers should be provided with the same information in foodservice that they have in retail.

From 1 July labels that most foods carry need to identify where it was made, grown, produced or packed.

Ms Lovell said the Northern Territory had successfully introduced Country of Origin Labelling for cooked and preprepared seafood in the foodservice industry in 2008. “We want the rest of the country to follow suit,” she said.

“Country of Origin Labelling is already working in some restaurants and cafes in Australia with minimal cost or disruption.” ●

Noosa’s kerbside rubbish collection begins on Monday 16 July with the coastal areas of Peregian Beach, Castaways and Marcus Beach first cab off the rank.

Noosa Council wants residents to sort their items into different piles to be collected by different trucks and not put it out until the Sunday before their allocated week.

“Metal items for recycling need to be in one pile, with a second pile for repairable household items and a third pile for all other rubbish,” a council spokesman said.

“To avoid their rubbish being missed, residents must make sure they segregate it.”

Collection contractors will not accept garden waste or items such as batteries, tyres, gas bottles, nor objects that can’t be lifted by two people.

Residents will receive a flyer with a list of items that won’t be accepted.

Mattresses will be collected at an additional cost of $30 paid prior to collection day.

To book the mattress collection service, phone Cleanaway on 3708 9812 before 4.30pm on the Wednesday prior to their collection week.

Contractors will collect a maximum of three cubic metres of rubbish per house, and six cubic metres per unit complex.

LETTERS EUTHANASIA VIEWS There was a forum on Monday at Parliament House on Dying with Dignity to which all State MPs were invited. Sandy Bolton was not there.

Many of us would like to know her views on this subject and whether she would support reform when the legislation finally comes before parliament.

Over 80 per cent of the population supports having an easy way to end terrible pain and suffering, but politicians seem very reluctant to even discuss this topic. Why? It would be wonderful if we could get the same kind of media coverage that went with same-sex marriage equality. That covered a very small percentage of the population, but everyone is going to die!

HINTERLAND AGENT IS A REAL ESTATE YOUNG GUN

12388214-LB22-18

AS SOON as Kimberlea Thwaites began working in real estate five years ago she knew it was her niche.

Since then the 30-year-old Countryside Realty Noosa agent has thrown everything into her work, and it has paid off.

Ms Thwaites has been named one of the Real Estate Institute of Queensland's 10 Young Guns for 2018, featured in the REIQ Journal released in June.

The list of outstanding young professionals from the state's peak real

Leanne Spence: 0455 912 910 Pip Whittaker: 0419 239 855

estate representative body shines a spotlight on ambitions, energetic young agents who are achieving spectacular results.

"Starting out had its challenges," Ms Thwaites said.

"It's a job that you have to give your all to; the more you put in the more you get back.

"It's long hours and a lot of highs and lows, but being in a role that challenges me every day was the perfect role for me.

"You're handling someone's biggest investments, you have to respect that, and if you do, you'll succeed.

"If you love what you do, you'll be happy to give it your all."

Ms Thwaites is as local an agent as they come. She grew up in Doonan, she has always worked in Cooroy, she bought

her first property in the hinterland and she gives back to the community, sponsoring the local schools newsletters, the Cooroy RSL and Pomona Bowls Club.

"It means so much to be recognised by this industry body," Ms Thwaites said.

"Working in a small country town I didn't expect to be one of the top 10 young achievers in Queensland.

"The REIQ is the state's peak professional organisation for real estate and to feature in their journal and be standing next to the other nominees was incredible.

"This will not only help me in my career, it will help our agency, and will give us more coverage for our beautiful Noosa Hinterland location which I am lucky enough to call home." ●

HAVE you seen the tiny house parked up on Gympie Terrace this week?

Towed by the all-electric Tesla Model X, Tesla Tiny House has been making its way around the country with energy experts on board.

Drop in and learn how to generate, store and use renewable energy in your home, and while you are there take in some tiny house inspiration.

Energey experts will be on hand to answer any questions about how Tesla's energy products can help sustainably power your home (whatever the size), protect you from outages and reduce your energy bills.

Powered by 100% renewable energy via a two-kilowatt solar system and Powerwall lithium-ion battery, Tiny House contains a mobile design studio and configurator which can calculate how your home can generate clean energy from the sun using solar panels, storing it in Powerwall to use throughout the day and night, which can all be monitored and controlled by the Tesla app.

The Tiny House will be on display until July 8 before hitting the road to continue its journey north. ●

STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART

BY HOLLIE HARRIS NOOSA alive! 2018, (formerly Noosa Long Weekend) Australian's premiere regional performing arts and culture festival will once again bring Noosa to life during 10 days of glorious entertainment, food, culture and fun from July 20-29, 2018 celebrating 17 years of delivering world class culture to community.

Straight from the Hart, starring Blake Bowden A 'world premiere' unique showcase experience beginning right here in Noosa!

A major highlight and coup for NOOSA alive! is Straight from the Hart, starring Blake Bowden, Australian star of music and stage with a string of hits past, currently starring in 'Book of Mormon' in Sydney.

Accompanied by a nine-piece band, Blake will lead you through the story of Lorenz Hart, world famous lyricist, arguably the father of American musical theatre and of Broadway. Be prepared to hear all your favourite hits including Blue Moon, My Funny Valentine, The Lady is a Tramp and With a Song in my Heart.

Q: What inspired your new show Straight from the Heart?

I have always loved Rodgers and Hart songs and over the years I begun to appreciate Hart's witty lyrics the best.

And the older I got the more they spoke to me, so when I was dreaming about my next new adventure I kept coming back to Ella Fitzgerald recordings of this music and so I knew I had to write a show about it. Especially because so many people don't realise that Hart was Rodgers first collaborator, so I feel duty to pay homage to one of the greatest lyricists of all time.

Q: What should audiences expect? Is there a narrative? Paint us a picture!

The show is essentially a concert, where myself and a killer 9 piece band bring Hart's music to life. But we also will reveal much about the man himself, his passions, his fears and his extraordinary life. People will leave humming a tune and feel little more enlightened about where these songs that you cannot help but know, came from.

Q: Are you performing solo in Straight from the Heart? Or are there other cast members, if so can you tell us a little about them please?

The show is essentially me on stage but supported by my 9 piece band. So it will feel like the 10 of us are all there telling the story.

Q: What happens after Noosa re 'Straight from the Heart!'? We've heard there might be a national tour and an album launch. Can you give us the scoop?

We want to tour "Straight from the Hart" nationally after Noosa. We want to tour this version of the show to more festivals around the country, but we also have plans to expand the show to play bigger venues, with more instruments and we will be exploring all those options in the coming months. It is really, really exciting!

Q: What makes NOOSA alive! a special festival for you? Is it a festival performers aspire to be part of generally? What's the word on the ground?

I think the location, the mix of excellent venues and the reputation that the festival has is what makes it so special to me. For years I heard about artists that I know personally and others that I look-up to, all heading up to Noosa annually to take part in something exciting there. So it is truly an honour to be coming back for my second time this year and now to be considered one of those artists!

Q: What is your view on the importance of 'Culture to Community'?

Culture is everything. Without it we have no identity and nothing to tie us together. More and more we are separated by technology, distance and generally not having the rituals and community that tied those that came before us together. We are far more isolated now then at any other time in human history. Culture plays a major part in bringing us together and creating a sense of identity and belonging. As an artist I feel a responsibility and a privilege to be a part of that.

Tuesday 24 and Wednesday July 25 The J Theatre 2pm matinee - $57.50 and 7.30pm - $62.50. Book now at www.noosaalive.com. au â—?

The Rubens - LO LA RU

A Legacy of Spies by John le Carre

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP

LO LA RU is the third album from Menangle five-piece The Rubens. Working with Wilder Zoby and Lil' Shalimar (who co-produced Run The Jewels 3) and with an aim to deliver the album they've always wanted to make, The Rubens expand on and bring the hip hop and R&B elements they touched on in previous releases to the forefront.

This album is full of fun, soul-injected rock tracks like building, piano-driven opener Million Man with its hint of gospel, and the sonically and lyrically captivating I Know. Sam Margin's soulful, expressive voice lifts often simplistic and fairly stripped-back instrumentals to deliver catchy hook after catchy hook (God Forgot, Casper, Soso). ●

Peter Guillam, living out his old age in Brittany, receives a letter from his onetime employers, the British Secret Service otherwise known as "The Circus".

Back in London he finds himself under intense interrogation by lawyers. During the Cold War two agents died during a botched operation, and their now adult children are threatening to sue. The story moves between the past and present, and between familiar names such as George Smiley and Bill Hayden, as their parts in the operation emerge.

The author is deeply cynical about the depths of deception the Intelligent Service will stoop to in their quest to find a scapegoat. Review by Jenny Carter of Friends of the Noosa Library. ●

Just in time for the school holidays, this one is sure to be on the top of the list for Marvel fans. Coming out in cinemas today, 5 July, a new chapter from the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes featuring heroes with the astonishing ability to shrink: "Ant-Man and The Wasp."

In the aftermath of "Captain America: Civil War," Scott Lang (Rudd) grapples with the consequences of his choices as both a Super Hero and a father. As he struggles to re-balance his home life with his responsibilities as Ant-Man, he's confronted by Hope van Dyne (Lilly) and Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas) with an urgent new mission. Scott must once again put on the suit and learn to fight alongside The Wasp. ●

Do you know a beer batter that’s better than the best? Is your grilled dory worth fame and glory? Seafood Industry Australia (SIA) has called for entries and votes in this year’s Australian Fish and Chip Awards.

Senator Anne Ruston, Assistant Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources, today (June 28, 2018) launched the 2018 competition at Parliament House in Canberra and this year’s awards are shaping up to be bigger and better than ever. “The Australian Fish and Chip Awards not only celebrate the iconic dish, but they highlight the importance of buying fresh, local seafood,� SIA CEO Jane Lovell said. “People are flabbergasted when they find out 70 per cent of seafood eaten in Australia is imported; and that most imported seafood is eaten in food service. “Buying Australian seafood supports our Aussie fishers and supports our world-class fisheries, which provide some of the most sustainable seafood in the world. “Australian fisheries underpin thousands of small Australian businesses and employ thousands of Australians every year.“ Last year’s event reeled in more than 100,000 votes, across 800 stores and 2000 shops are already registered for this year’s fry-off. “In every town, across every state and territory, people spruik their fish and chips as number one, so let’s put them to the test,�

Ms Lovell said.

There will be two categories this year including: people’s choice and a judge’s choice. So whether you like your fish grilled, battered or crumbed, from August 1 you can vote for the best fish and chips in the country.

The winners from each state and territories will go through to compete for the national title of, Best Fish and Chips 2018.

Voting runs from August 1 to September 16, with the national winner announced on October 15.

TRY THIS … winter garden jobs

’TIS THE SEASON TO GET IT SORTED OUT

BY HOLLIE HARRIS Winter is the perfect time to get on top of a few things in your yard.

1. Rake the leaves and pick up twigs, sticks and bark.

This is a winter job that can involve all the family and warms you as you work.

Drifts of fallen leaves and bark, along with twigs and sticks, accumulate on lawns and paths over winter. Rake leaves, bark and small twigs for mulch or to add to the compost heap. Sticks needs to be broken up or use them instead to light indoor winter fires, for a family barbecue or as plant support.

2. Aerate the lawn Many lawns are compacted and weedy after the long drought. Aerating now lets moisture into the soil so you can begin to rejuvenate the lawn in spring.

Use a garden fork or hire a powered aerator.

Top dress with a fine layer of coarse sand or loam.

Fertilise in spring.

If rain is puddling and not soaking in, even after aeration, apply a hose-on soil wetting agent.

3. Dig the vegie garden.

Provided your soil isn’t sodden, winter can be a great time to dig a new vegie or garden bed or to turn in green manure crops to get the garden ready for planting in spring. It’s also a good time to pull or hoe out weeds and cut back invasive plants. ●

FOCUS ON … Health, Wellness & Beauty

CAN YOU BEAT A HANGOVER?

BY HOLLIE HARRIS A couple too many can leave some of us regretting the party the next day. Here are few tricks to remember to help you bounce back the morning after 1. Drinking in moderation Consuming an excessive amount of alcohol increases the likelihood of a severe hangover.

The best way to avoid a hangover is to drink alcohol in moderation or not at all.

The more alcohol someone drinks, the more likely they are to have a severe hangover the next day....but if you do get swept up in the celebrations...

2. Drinking water Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it increases a person's need to urinate and can cause some people to be at a higher risk of becoming dehydrated. Drinking plenty of water alongside alcoholic beverages is a no-brainer.

3. Avoiding congeners Alcoholic drinks that contains congeners, such as whisky, may contribute to hangover symptoms.

Certain alcoholic beverages contain chemicals known as congeners. These chemicals are impurities and can contribute towards hangover symptoms. Drinks high in congeners include: whiskey, particularly bourbon, cognac and tequila.

Drinks with low levels of congeners include: vodka, rum and gin.

4. Taking supplements

THREE …

Health reports in brief

Some experts think that some of the symptoms a person experiences when they have a hangover result from low-grade inflammation. Therefore, some people might benefit from taking supplements of herbs that have anti-inflammatory properties, such as red ginseng and prickly pear cactus.

5. Measuring your drinks It is crucial for a person to measure their drinks and be aware of how much they are drinking. When drinking at home, some people may pour themselves more substantial measures or be less aware of the volumes they are using.

6. Eating before drinking Eating a good meal before drinking can reduce a person's blood alcohol level and slow down the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream.

Outlook Drinking in moderation or not at all is the best way to avoid a hangover. However, it is essential to remember that excessive drinking, and even moderate drinking, can have an adverse impact on a person's shortterm or long-term health. People who drink more than the recommended amount of alcohol are putting themselves at increased risk of: heart disease, certain cancers, liver disease, nervous system damage, including brain damage and peripheral neuropathy The risk of developing these conditions increases over time with the amount of alcohol a person drinks. ●

It's quite common to see young people walking around with headphones on listening to music. But when the music is so loud you can hear it, sitting next to them, it raises concern about what impact it can have on young children's hearing. Now, a study has measured the impact that listening to music on headphones has on children's hearing in the long term and has revealed that yes, it can cause future damage.

A documentary by celebrity chef Pete Evans - "The Magic Pill" depicts a highfat, low-carb diet as a treatment for autism, asthma and even cancer - is back in the spotlight this month after Netflix was urged to pull the film from its streaming service. But earlier this month, the Australian Medical Association called for the film to be removed, saying "the risk of misinformation is too great".

Australians are living longer but half of us have a chronic health condition which impacts our quality of life. One in two adult Australians have at least one of eight common chronic conditions: cancer, cardiovascular disease, mental health conditions, arthritis, back pain and problems, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and diabetes.

SPORT TODAY NOOSA SCORES BIG VICTORY OVER NAMBOUR Noosa were host to the Pennant team from Nambour, and scored a convincing win by beating Nambour 7 games to 3.

In the singles Niven Gugich narrowly won his game 7 - 6, after leading 6 - 2 after the eighth hoop.

Brian Rudd won his singles 7 - 5, Peter Richardson lost his singles 4 - 7 and Ray Powley won his convincingly by 7 - 2.

In the reverse singles the Noosa players won all their games. Niven won 6 - 5, Brian won 7 - 5, Peter won 7 - 4 and Ray won 7 - 6.

In the doubles Nambour managed to turn the tables on Noosa by winning both games. Rob Moncrieff and Brian Rudd lost 9 - 10 and Peter Richardson and Ray Powley lost 5 - 10.

Of the ten games, six were won or lost by a margin of one or two hoops, which indicates that the match was much closer than the final score suggests. Noosa maintains its position at the top of the log after six rounds. ●

STUDENTS UP AGAINST STUDENTS IN UNI GAMES Almost 90 USC student athletes headed to the Gold Coast this week to vie for glory at a national university games tournament from 1-5 July.

The athletes will be among thousands of students from universities across Australia competing in sports including basketball, football, netball, tennis, touch and volleyball during the Nationals Division 2 event run

by Unisport Australia.

USC women's captain Kristi Podlich, 21, of Palmview will compete in her fifth tournament as captain of the mixed netball noosatoday.com.au

team, which is tipped to feature in the finals.

"We came third last year and this year we've got a much stronger team," said Kristi, who is studying Primary Education.

"We've been hammering our training up to four times a week and have had great support from our coach. With a trial match earlier this year, we beat the other team by 50 points so we're hoping to do really well."

USC men's captain and basketball manager Zachary McAulay said the USC basketball team was aiming to finish in the top half of the field.

"Traditionally we've been at the back of the pack, but we might surprise a few people this year," the Criminology and Justice student said.

USC Sports Coordinator Gary Moore said he believed USC's mixed netball, men's basketball and men's football would perform well at the games.

"We have got a bit of competition but we should do well," he said. "Other universities always ask how we do it. We've got a great culture here and the students love it."

The games will wrap up tomorrow. ●

NOOSA TODAY 39

MAROOCHYDORE JUST TOO STRONG Seniors match report: The Rococo’s Bar and Bistro Noosa Tigers copped a bit of a reality check last Saturday at Fishermans road as a much stronger and hungrier Maroochydore proved far too strong for a pretty flat Tiger outfit. The Noosa boys were coming off ten straight wins and sat half a game clear on top of the Division 1 Hart Sport ladder with the loss relinquishing the ladder spot to their arch rivals with six games to play.

Right from the very start the Tiger faithful at Fishermans road knew they were in for more than a contest as the Roos ferocity at the ball and their on ball dominance around the stoppage superior to Noosa’s. Their forward line was functioning beautifully and if not for some errant kicking the margin should have been a lot more at the first break.

In fact whilst the final score shows a fourteen point loss, many tiger supporters believed the score flattered us. ‘It was more like a six or seven goal loss’, stated ex tiger Dave Carroll. ’They dominated us in the middle again and their big forwards bagged ten between them.

To our credit we did hang in there but we just looked flat and fumbled our way around the park. However we all know that flags aren’t won in June and the coaching staff have some decisions to make’. Carroll said Connor McDonald battled manfully against the best ruckman in the comp whilst Tom Templeton booted three goals in a pretty solid effort.

Mccrimmon and skipper Aaron Laskey stood tall for the Noosa boys with football manager Mitch Woods again well and truly among the Tigers best.

As mentioned earlier this was a much needed reality check at a very convenient time. The Tiger hierarchy know we are not far away at all with the knowledge that we gained from the match. Whilst most pundits see the Division 1 Hart Sport Cup as a two horse race, I’m sure senior coach Sam Faure will be reiterating to his charges that a bounce back win against Coorparoo in Brisbane this Saturday is essential. The Tigers sorely missed bulky power forward Liam Kenny last week after fracturing an eye socket the week before. The seconds went down also to the ladder leaders Maroochydore whilst the Colts recited a fantastic 22 point win to keep their finals hopes alive in 2018. A big few weeks coming up for the tigers with the business end of the season approaching. Can’t wait to see how it all unfolds.

Go tigers Cheers Pittsy Under 12s Noosa Blue Match report With school holidays upon us we went to Maroochydore with 8 players out, and unfortunately it showed, going down with our second loss for the season and our biggest loss.

To those who did play, tried their hardest all day but we were out played by a good team. Thank you to the Noosa Reds for filling in, Xander, Jack and Noah, you didn’t look out of place in our team. Our best for the day in order were Cooper Delaney again, Zack, Jordy, and Xander from the Reds. Beau also had a great game.

The 2 week break for school holidays will be good for us and can’t wait to get back into

Coach Ray NOOSA RED UNDER 14 BOYS Noosa Tigers made it back to back wins with another solid win at Kawana on Sunday afternoon. The first half was an even affair however Noosa snuck out to a 10 point lead at half time. Despite a few nervous moments in the second half, the Tigers were in control most of the game and could have won by more if not for some inaccurate kicking in front to goal. The final score was Noosa 7.17.59 to Kawana 2.4.16.

Jed Bullman was superb across half back and hard at every contest. Jack Leary again was everywhere on his wing and picked up possessions at will. Backing up from under 12’s, Cooper Delaney played a great game and showed he is player to watch out for. And Arkie Thorson on the other wing again showed he is developing every week.

Another excellent effort from the Tigers and great to see the week by week improvement.

DR

Saturday 21st July – Ladies Day (Isaac Lomman - Hypnotist) Saturday 28th July – President’s Luncheon (Boof Lehmann – ex Australian cricket coach) Saturday 11 August - (Mega - Auction Day)

It's mine.

Youth Girls Football: It started last Friday evening when our Under 13 girls played Kawana at Noosa and whilst four of our top five players were missing the young tigers put on a very impressive team display running out big winners. Lexie Ladd dominated across the ground all night whilst Stella Scudemore ,Natasha Monaghan and Zoe Wood were all among Noosa’s best.

Our under 15’s were up next on a pleasant Sunday morning at Noosa and thumped an inexperienced Gympie side by twenty goals to stay in outright second position. Power forward Imogen Van Der Vegt booted nine goals in a clear best on ground performance whilst usual suspects Hannah Mckenzie, Emma Benjamin, Teesha fox and Keana Welsh dominated the entire game.

Lastly it was our Under 17 girls who played the highly fancied Kawana outfit on the back oval and our girls were just superb running out 80 point victors. Their team play and ball movement was all there to see with many of the under 15 girls backing up for their second run of the day. Emma Benjamin was outstanding (particularly in the ruck) whilst Keana Welsh, Holly Strellow, Teesha Fox, Hannah Mckenzie and Mia Woodburn were all amongst the best. Three really impressive wins by the Tigerettes as all three grades look likely to finish in finals calculations.

Go tigers!

LIFE OF BRINE

PHIL JARRATT

FORESTRY ACQUISITION DOUBLES THE FUN

SO FRENCH, SO COOL We know a photo's worth a thousand words, but sometimes it can also gift a thousand memories. Such was the case when our dear French friend Nadege (better known in the surf world as "The Dish") posted a photo from the previous century on social media last week.

Ah, there we all are on the steps at the beach of Cote des Basques, Biarritz, priming with plenty of good wine and cheese for the sun to set over the Bay of Biscay on one of those long summer evenings after a full day of surfing.

Hey, it's a pretty ratty, blurry old print and I have no idea who took it, but it takes me right back there nearly 20 years on, and

Enjoying the Ringtail Forest, soon to be National Park.

I am in the moment at one of my favourite places in the world. Look at us - we don't give a damn about the Millenium Bug and how it's going to shut down this new-fangled email nonsense. We're just having fun, and speaking for myself and our late and great mate Rennie Ellis, we're in the prime of middle age and loving every minute.

Oddly enough I was still getting over my memories when the morning news of France's convincing win over Argentina to progress to the final eight in the World Cup took me right back there. Lauding the performance of France's double-scoring hero Kylian Mbappe - the first player to score two goals in a World Cup since the mighty Pele 60 years ago - the sportscaster said: "Can you believe it - this kid wasn't even born when France won the World Cup in 1998!"

Wow! That same wonderful French summer. France was heading for the final and our surfing mate Bixente Lizarazu, the Basque native defender who was a star for Bordeaux then Bayern-Munich, had been one of the World Cup stand-outs. I was waiting for a meeting at Quiksilver's European headquarters in St Jean de Luz the afternoon before the final when the company president Bernard Mariette grabbed me by the arm and raced me up the stairs to the roof garden.

"Phil, I don't care if they sack me, I want you to see this." He was trembling with excitement. Semi-trailer drivers were honking their horns from the autoroute as they passed by. Bernard took me to the

Afternoon on the steps, Cote des Basque, Biarritz. railing at the edge of the building. A French tri-coleur had been stretched over the entire side of the building, with the words, Allez Lizarazu painted across the middle.

Bernard said: "The entire samples department has been working on this for a week. We will not be ready for the range release. I don't care. It had to be done."

France went on to a famous victory, and Bixente went (allez) as he was urged. Ah, the passion of the French. Bernard later paid about half a billion too much for an ailing ski company called Rossignol, brought Quiksilver to its knees and was despatched, sans dire.

Bernard has another highly paid life in another part of the world now, of course, and we don't exchange Christmas cards.

But whenever I think of him, I choose to remember that dirty big flag he hung from the side of the building, and all the trucks honking.

So French, so cool. ●

And this popped up on my feed, right in the middle of a very Frenchie weekend.

This is the view from my favourite restaurant in the French Pays Basque, possibly in all of Europe. It’s basically the dining room of the Bidart Surf Club, but it goes by the fancier name of the Tantina de la Playa. The left-hand break is known locally as “Bidar-watu” because its reef/sand formation can chuck out some spinners. Back in the day, we’d surf an hour of our lunch break, then take our normal table for a wine and seafood feast. Then back to work, ha ha.

Last week in this space I wrote about the fight against day-trippers, which I understand, but find just slightly disturbing.

Perhaps not intentionally, the message seems to be, people worked hard to make this place so beautiful, we found it first so you in your gas-guzzling SUVs can bugger off!

So in the interest of balance I want to deal briefly today with a totally positive story about the protection of Noosa's natural beauty, one in which we are all winners, yet one that our local and regional media seems to have largely ignored.

Last week Noosa Council ratified a deal that has been several years in the making and which will complete the protective "ring of parks" around the Shire, stretching from Cooloola to Tewantin National Parks, then on to Noosa National Park. The acquisition of some 2,400 hectares of land within the Yurol and Ringtail State Forests, more than half of it currently subject to longterm plantation harvest rights, is a joint venture between Council, state government and Noosa Parks Association costing $3.6 million - an absolute bargain - that will result in all of the land transitioning to National Park status over the coming years, increasing recreational space and providing more habitat for koalas and other endangered species.

Sound a bit dry? Maybe that's why the media didn't find it sexy, but consider this: Noosa National Park was 240 hectares when the NPA started in 1962, and grew to about 2700 hectares over the next 55 years. This purchase effectively doubles the National Parkland around our town, which is better protection than a moat.

It's a great outcome for Noosa. Hats off to all involved.

SUCCESS AT STATE BOXING TITLES

BY RON LANE Last weekend Boxing Queensland staged the Queensland Novice Championships. Held over a period of three days at the Souths Sport Club Acacia Ridge and in front of capacity houses, it was indeed a great boost for the sport in Queensland. Once again our local club Cooroys Impact Boxing Academy fighters contested the titles.

Impacts owner /coach Mark Evans said, ''We had a program of 274 fights over three days with great crowds in attendance. It was well organized and well run. The group categories started at age 10 and it was for contestants with fewer than 15 fights."

Boxing on the Impact team was Josh McMaster in the 75kg category, Spencer Pardon 69 kg and also Ruby Hamilton 61 kg; and for the team it was indeed a successful tournament coming home with three gold medals. "For Ruby this win plus her win in the recent North Queensland Games was a big boost for her self- confidence," said her father Mick who was in attendance.

As this tournament was under way two other members of the Impact Club were once again proudly wearing the green and gold of their country. Representing Australia are Taylah Robinson National Champion and club mate Ella Boot winner of the Youth Commonwealth Games gold medal and a bronze medal at last years World Championship. ''They are members of the Australian team who are competing in a five day international tournament in Indonesia," said Mark Evans.

"This will be a great lead up for the selection trials that will be used to pick the Australian team to contest the forth coming World Titles. These trials will be held at the end of the month in Perth and with the Indonesian trip under their belt, they should be in with a good chance of making the team to fight for the World Titles.''

Once again the youth of our community representing their country in international sport. We wish both Taylah and Ella all the very best. â&#x2014;?

HOOK, LINE & SINKER

JACK MANGROVE

COOL WATER FISH STRONG ON THE CHEW With the winter weather conditions upon us, those cool water species have really come on the chew. Snapper and cobia offshore, tailor and Jew off the beach, and large winter bream and trevally from the rivers!

Offshore: those that have larger boats made the best of the conditions last Saturday doing a run to the Hards or the Barwon Banks, there were some great reports with larger pearl perch and snapper.

In good numbers: Parrot, amberjack and Moses perch were also amongst them. Up on north reef snapper and squire have also been hitting the decks in good numbers as well as the odd tuna. Sweetlip have been well spread throughout most of the major reefs, with some bigger fish caught during the lower light periods. There has been odd coral trout on Sunshine reef. Fishing hard to the reef is the best way to come into contact so a running sinker rig with the sinker all the way to the hook should see results. With the whales migration happening cobia will become more abundant, these fish seem to always be taken noosatoday.com.au

as soon as a pod of whales moves through.

In the river: with the winter school holidays in full swing with plenty of families enjoying all the river has to offer. The river mouth and Dog Beach area has been producing great number of quality bream, whiting and flathead drifting both live and dead baits. Live herring and live worms have been the stand out baits and pilchards, white bait and cured worms have been the preferred dead baits. A little further upriver the Tewantin stretch and the first ski run has been producing Jew fish in the low lights periods. Paddle vibes have been dynamite on the Jew and the odd trevally.

Lake Cooroibah has seen good numbers of pan-sized flathead taken fishing hard bodies on the troll or casting in the shallow waters. Big schools of trevally and tailor have been prevalent throughout the Woods Bays, Munna Bridge and Noosa Sound area.

These fish have been responding well to surface poppers and surface walkers, prawn imitation soft plastics have also claimed

some nice fish as the sun gets a little higher in the ski. Along the Gympie Terrace stretch using worms has been producing quality whiting flathead and some nice sized bream and the good old prawn has also been the prime bait.

On the beaches the tailor are really starting to show up with more and more reports of schools making their migration up toward Fraser Island, the schools are a little spread out so if you are on the North Shore it may pay to keep moving to locate a school. Good sized bream and dart are in the close gutters with the top of the tide the best to target them. Prawns, small fish baits and worms cast to the back of the gutters and roller under the white water has seen some good bream taken. Whiting are also about with the southern beaches around Marcus and Peregian fishing well on the run out tide.

Live worms have been the favoured baits with plenty of anglers getting a good feed.

So on behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures! â&#x2014;?
