THIS WEEK WE’RE TALKING ABOUT…

WEIGHTMAN DOMINANT IN EVENT Runaway Noosa Marathon saw stunning racing conditions and an avalanche of event records last weekend with seven of ten times set in the inaugural year, falling.

Australia's marathon star Lisa Weightman lead the charge stripping more than 12 minutes of the previous best time Runaway Noosa 21km, with her second best ever half marathon, a stunning 1:10.04.

Noosa holds a special place in Lisa's heart as it was the venue of her first ever half marathon back in 2000, where she came third, and the preferred training environment for her 2016 Rio Olympic and 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games preparations.

The multiple Olympian arrived on the Sunshine Coast with some genuine speed in her legs, only narrowly missing running a personal best (1:09.00) over the 21km.

"We set out in a nice little pack and were sharing the lead which was nice. I just wanted to see what sort of rhythm I could find. I ran a little bit quicker in the first half to get a good 10km hit out and I managed to do that," Lisa said.

"The course is a lovely experience, a little crowded at times but it is great to see all the distances are mixed in and cheering each other along. It was a great vibe.

"I am signed up for the Gold Coast half in a few weeks and then the Sydney Harbour 10km. I am enjoying the idea of joining in all the Australian races and being a part of the atmosphere. Then I will have to get serious and put in some marathon mileage to qualify for Tokyo."

The new Runaway Noosa 21km record holder said she will definitely be back next year.

"I really love training here in Noosa and would really recommend it to anyone who wants to come up for a relaxing and energetic holiday," she said.

Noosa triathlete Caleb Noble took out the honours in the men's marathon setting a new mark of 2:31:32, while Brisbane's Liz Grolimund's race went to plan going sub

"It was really good. I went through the first half in 1:13 which put me on target for a PB. I got to the 35km mark and sort of hit the wall for a minute or two which sort of cost me but I came good towards the end so overall I was pretty happy. This course is awesome I run it every day so you get to know it really well," Caleb said.Women's marathon winner Liz Grolimund came up to Noosa with her training group Blood

Sweat and Beers and they were all on a mission.

"I have been training with a group of people and we have all been aiming for sub three hours. So the plan was to sit with the sub three pacer for as long as possible and hopefully feel alright on the last lap. It pretty much went to plan so I am pretty happy with the run," Liz said.

Brisbane's Louis McAfee was pushed all the way in the men's half marathon and

the pressure helped him set a new course record.

"I rocked up to the start line thinking it might be a bit of a walk in the park but it certainly wasn't. I had the guys on my heels for 21km and I was just trying to pull away and thankfully I finally did. It was a tough race but it was a really good course."

Tewantin's Chloe Mclennan defended her Runaway Noosa 5km title taking a massive 18 seconds of her time from 2018. ●

WEARABLE ARTWORK TAKES CENTRE STAGE IN EUMUNDI

BY ABBEY CANNAN Last Friday, 24 May, over 40 wearable artworks from across Australia put on a spectacular parade under the stars in Eumundi.

The event displayed four main categories as part of its gala parade competition - Avant Garde, Floriana, Trashion and Sustainable - as well as additional prizes for Haute-Couture, Headpiece, First Nation and best tertiary and secondary student pieces.

The Australian Wearable Art -Supreme Award for 2019 (sponsored by David Suters from Timbercraftsman) went to Amaterasu

by Jodie Whittaker. The Trashion category winner went to Sparkle saved by Karen Lynch, while Botanical Beauty by Belinda Kuhlewein took home the Floriana category prize.

Event curator, Wendy Roe said guests were treated to a spectacular showcase of fashion taken to the extreme.

"We have a 16 metre runway where haute couture will meet costumery - where waste will be turned into waistcoats and flower crowns become complete flower dresses," Ms Roe said.

The event attracted national attention but local artists such as Larissa Salton were excited to have their works selected to take the stage. noosatoday.com.au

"I have been creating Renaissanceinspired gowns and headpieces to feature in my portraiture images for a while now. I repurpose puzzle pieces, curtains, toothpicks, broken jewellery, birds' nests, suitcases and bullet shells to create an oldworld whimsical charm," Ms Salton said.

"I have now taken this one step further and designed the work to be wearable on a catwalk. My pieces can be quite fragile and so there are many structural considerations to enable a piece to be runway ready."

This is a sentiment one of the acclaimed festival judges and fashion designer to the stars, Cindy Vogels, understands and agrees with.

"This festival really allows artists to extend their practice and provides a platform for a wider audience to be inspired by form, structure, texture and colour - often using an eclectic mix of unusual materials," Ms Vogels said.

"Wearable art is such a unique form and really embraces the idea that we can live and wear art every day."

Both award-winning artist Dr Jandamarra Cadd and special guest judge Peter Dwyer of the Whitehouse Design Institute joined Cindy Vogels on the judging panel where a total of $3,600 cash was awarded. The Chrysalis by Vivien Eardley won the Sustainable category prize

(sponsored by Sunshine Coast Council), and the Avant-Garde (sponsored by Fresh PR & Marketing) prize went to Amaterasu

by Jodie Whittaker.

The Student Award (Sponsored by Eumundi Service Station) went to Teddy McRitchie for his two garments - Funeral and Empower. The Headpiece and Haute Couture prize (sponsored by The Imperial Hotel - Eumundi and Eumundi Square) was taken out by Cynthia Hawkins for her Power Behind the Throne piece. The Tina Cooper Emerging Artist Award winner was Vivien Eardley for her The Chrysalis piece. ●

COVER STORY Puck in front of Sunshine Beach Surf Club.

A MAN

OF THE

PEOPLE

BY RON LANE t was in August 1980 that a short little dark haired bloke from Sydney town accompanied by two lifelong friends and partners, Con Savva and Adrian Howe, lobbed in Noosa and settled in Sunshine Beach, embarking on a business venture. "We had visited Noosa in April and liked what we saw."

Now some thirty nine years later that little bloke from Sydney Town, Glenn Puckeridge or Puck as he is fictionally known to his mates, is still here; and not only that but he is now looked upon as being something of a legend.

The chosen field that bought about this respect and recognition is not in the much publicized world of sport or of big business, but in the too often unheralded world of fundraising. To make his efforts more outstanding is the fact that the majority of funds raised has been for the purpose of assisting children in need.

Puck will be the first to tell you, "I could have not done it alone. Down through the years there have been countless people both as patrons and committee personal who have given their time and energy to make our projects become a reality."

Born in Sydney and educated at the Forrest Lodge Primary School and the Ibrox High School, he finished his education in year10. On entering the work force he

started as a dispatch clerk with an electrical company in the heart of Sydney Town. After some four years he took a position with a company who specialised in the importation of high quality musical instruments. ''It was very interesting; we imported the world renowned Gibson Guitars, Selmar brass and Woodwind with heavy emphases on Premier percussive instruments."

It was during this time that Puck met Robin the lady who was to become his future wife and mother of their two beautiful daughters, Megan and Jessica.

Then in 1980 came a big move. Along with two lifelong friends Con Savva and Adrian Howe (with whom he had teamed up) they decided to look for a business venture on Northern N.S.W. but could not find anything of interest. "But then we became aware of a shop on the market at Sunshine Beach Noosa Heads: having visited Noosa early in the year, we decided this would be the way to go. We made the move and after taking over we decided to rename the shop The Sunshine Shoppe. It became a bit of a joke the Sunshine Shoppe, Sunshine Beach, Sunshine Coast in the Sunshine State. How could we not succeed with a slogan like that?"

Away from the shop Con, in 1981 had joined the Sunshine Beach Surf club obtaining his bronze the same year. The following year both Puck and Adrian also

Thursday, 30 May, 2019

joined and with Cons training, supervised

by Chief Instructor Geoff Potter they also obtained their bronze. Little did Puck realise that this was to be the start of a career with the Sunshine club: covering 24 years on the beach as a patrolman, radio operator and staff member of the Supporter Club.

It was about this time that the surf club

started to build their club house and Puck and his partners also volunteered to do odd jobs during construction. Then in 1983 they decided to sell the shop and go their separate ways; with Con becoming a lifeguard on the Gold Coast and Adrian returning to NSW to start a career in teaching. noosatoday.com.au

Puck with lifeguard Max Pettigrove and Original Sunshine Beach Surf Club President Vic Guest.

Late 1984 saw Puck become more involved in the club when he was appointed bar manager. "In those days we worked on what was called a Sporting Body Permit (government liquor license) which permitted us to trade a 5 hour day 5 days a week. To bring my time up to a 40 hour week I also worked as a cleaner." As the club grew to full license Puck became full time bar manager and following this, worked as a Sponsorship and Special Events Manager for a further two years.

"I found the sponsorship work very interesting meeting all types. What I didn't realise was that I was establishing a large group of contacts throughout the community and when I became heavily involved in the fundraising game they were invaluable." It was during his time as a bar manager, that John and Sue Piercy organized for the Sunshine Beach Surf club to run the bar at the Jack Newton Pro -Am charity golf day for the then Noosa Tewantin Golf Club; naturally Puck became involved. It was through this that the possibility of a Smile for a Child charity golf day took hold.

In 1992 when the Jack Newton Pro-Am Charity Golf Day shifted to the Twin Waters Golf Club, John and Sue Piercy's continued their ongoing work at Tewantin. It was then that Puck and his helpers started the charity golf days for the local Surf Clubs, which they continued to do till 2006. However following the untimely death of John in early 2000, this charity day had become known as the John Piercy Memorial; and this was to become The Smile for a Child beneficiary.

This particular event now in its 13 th year, has been established as one of the most successful charity days in the history of noosatoday.com.au

the Noosa community; and all indications are that it will continue to do so. In 2007 Puck decided to consolidate the concept by inviting the managers of various clubs to become involved. They listened, liked his presentation and decided to join. The Smile For a Child Charity was under way "We started with eight clubs but now we are down to five as three sadly are no longer operating. The five remaining clubs are Noosa and Sunshine Surf clubs, Noosas Yacht and Rowing Club, Tewantin Noosa RSL and the Noosa Golf Club. The community at large has given great support and it is from this that we get our prizes and sponsorship." Such has been the response that should 2019 be yet another financial success, the overall tally banked should touch $400,000; and it all goes to charities for kids.

Amongst the charities to benefit are Frangipani Dreams, Sunshine Butterflies, Starlight Children's Foundation, Sunny Kids, Leukemia Foundation, KIDS Foundation and the Australian Himalayan Foundation. Apart from these charities there have also been seven or eight individual cases in need of surgery or assistance.

Another, (but also unheralded) part of Pucks work has been consolidating a good working relationship between Clubs Queensland and the Sunshine Coast Community. In the world of hospitality this relationship is of the utmost importance for as Puck once stated, "It's important for our clubs to show that they are beneficial to the community."

Clubs Queensland is an organization in Brisbane that acts on behalf of all clubs and represents them at Government and licensing level for all compliances. The importance of this is absolutely vital to

Photos taken by Dave Gleeson - Surfshots. the stability and future planning of our clubs. The contribution made by Glenn Puckeridge to this venture cannot be stressed enough.

When people who command respect accept a position as PATRON they automatically create an atmosphere of good intention. So what could be better than to have people of the caliber of Evonne Goolagong Cawley AC, MBE, Roger Cawley, Michael O'Connor (dual Rugby International) amongst others, accepting these invitations? By doing so, they have down through the years, created a platform from which fundraisers such as Puck can launch functions that are invaluable to our children in need.

They, the PATRONS, become a vital part

of the team of volunteer workers; people such as Anton Mogg (one of the founding club managers), Steve Kinney, Little Joe Power, Tony Haack, Committee and staff of the Noosa Golf Club and countless others who have given Puck total support. "We will always be there for Puck," said Noosa Surf Club manager Anton Mogg. "This man is second to none and whenever he takes on a project he is always there regardless of the time and effort required."

It is because of men such as Glenn Puckeridge, fundraiser, that countless numbers of children and parents throughout our community can go on to live a better life. Proud to say he is one of -Our People. â—?

NOOSA AQUATIC CENTRE GETS REVAMP Noosa Council recently appointed local company Ri-Con Contractors Pty Ltd to replace the roof and timber deck at Noosa Aquatic Centre (NAC).

The $365,000 project will begin in June, with the NAC to close while the work is carried out.

At its Special Meeting, Council also awarded Sunshine Coast business, Alto Pacific Pty Ltd, a $245,080 contract to refurbish the 50m pool and also replace decking at the NAC. Community Facilities Manager Ash Saward said the facility was due for maintenance after serving residents well for 20 years.

"This will be the largest maintenance project undertaken since the facility opened in 1999," he said.

The NAC will close Monday 24 June 24,

with a planned reopening date of Monday 19 August.

"The work will be carried out during the colder months, typically a quieter period for the centre, in order to minimise disruption for the community.

"Due to the scale of the works - we're replacing the entire roof and deck plus emptying the pool to facilitate tiling and grout works - we have to close the facility while the job is done."

Mr Saward said NAC staff had already notified regular NAC patrons about the closure.

Alto Pacific will re-grout the 50-metre pool's tiling, refurbish expansion joints, replace coping tiles around the 50m pool and replace wet decking around the 50m and program pools.

Mayor Tony Wellington said, "The

new roof will allow us to proceed with the planned installation of a 100kW solar system to reduce the NAC's power costs and support our 2026 zero-net-emissions target."

Mr Saward said both construction companies were well-respected and had previous experience working on large community facilities.

The NAC experiences approximately 250,000 visits each year and teaches thousands of people vital swimming skills through various programs.

The NAC has also been the training ground for a host of Olympians, including swimmers Nick D'Arcy, Brittany Elmslie and Jake Packard, plus triathlete Emma Snowsill.

"There's no doubt the NAC has served the community admirably during the past

20 years and this work will ensure the popular facility continues to do so well into the future." â—?

CONSULTATION PERIOD OVER FOR DRAFT NOOSA PLAN The New Noosa Plan is the draft planning scheme that will replace the current Noosa Plan 2006.

Council said it strives to protect the look and feel of Noosa while providing a blueprint to shape the shire's growth over the next 20 years.

The New Noosa Plan is the culmination of several years of engaging with the community. A discussion paper in October 2016 provided community feedback and that information has helped prepare the

New Noosa Plan.

Council said, "The New Noosa Plan will facilitate more housing and business choices, continue the place-based approach of the existing planning scheme, future transport needs and opportunities for rural enterprises. It considers how we live, work and play in the future."

"It sets the rules for development including new or changing land uses, subdivision, building works, landscaping and clearing of vegetation and all forms of

engineering works."

As required by the State Government, the New Noosa Plan differs from the current Noosa Plan with changes to the structure, zones and land use definitions in particular.

The New Noosa Plan has undergone a rigorous review by the State Government to ensure it complies with the Planning Act 2016, State Planning Policies, South East Queensland Regional Plan and other State interests. â—?

12418414-FA23-19

The major consultation phase of the Draft Noosa Town Plan has now closed and Council will consider each submission to determine how the draft scheme should be amended.

Noosa Council said on Friday 18 May that they had received over 400 submissions for the draft New Noosa Plan.

Council will consider submissions and make appropriate changes before sending it back to the State Government for a final review and sign-off from the Minister.

NEWS NOOSA SHIRE TO RECEIVE $2.8 MILLION FOR PLAYSPACE Noosa Shire should see more jobs, increased liveability and stronger local economies with the approval of almost $2.8 million towards a Hinterland Adventure Playground in Cooroy.

The playground will incorporate open green space, nature exploration areas, natural climbing structures, replicated creek waterplay, as well as picnic shelters, BBQs and amenities, made possible through the Queensland Government's more than $58.5 million 2019-21 Local Government Grants and Subsidies Program (LGGSP).

Noosa Mayor Tony Wellington welcomed the funding.

"Our vision is for a playground that will draw people to the hinterland - a place families will want to return to again and again and a place kids will remember fondly for the rest of their lives," Mayor Wellington said.

"This funding provides a welcome opportunity to fast track priority infrastructure projects that have broad community benefit."It's a terrific example of the two levels of government working together to deliver great outcomes for the community."

Local Government Minister Stirling Hinchliffe congratulated the Noosa Shire Council on its successful project.

"I applaud the council and its initiative in recognising the need for this project as well as securing the funding to help deliver it," Mr Hinchliffe said.

The very first Pirates Young Guns group that traveled to Sydney five years ago at Belmore Oval, with NRL Wests Tigers fullback Moses Mbye.

Concept plans for the Hinterland Adventure Playground.

"This Government has committed to creating employment opportunities and this program will do just that.

"Upgrading or building new infrastructure has an immediate positive impact on the liveability of a town or city.

"This can have fantastic spinoffs such as creating jobs, retaining and growing a population base and generating business confidence to invest locally."

The $58.56 million 2019-21 Local Government Grants and Subsidies Program is designed to provide funding assistance to support Local Governments to deliver priority infrastructure and essential services that meet the identified needs of their communities.

The Local Government and Grants and Subsidies Program projects must be completed by 30 June 2021. â—?

PIRATES TEACHING THE YOUNG GUNS

BY ABBEY CANNAN The Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club has had on-going success with their Young Gun Program over the past four years, with boys learning the meaning of loyalty, mateship, respect and teamwork.

The Young Gun Program is an initiative of the Noosa Pirates Club and is aimed at local boys aged between 13 and 17 years who learn Rugby League skills as well as life skills.

The group fund-raises throughout the year to fund their end-of-program trip to Sydney.

The program began in 2015 to provide resources and support for young men during what is a time of significant personal growth and development, as well as help the participants aim high and achieve their personal goals.

Noosa Pirates committee member Tony Rutledge said the program has been a continuing success, with different age groups of the boys starting to look out for each other.

"We think mateship is really important because teenagers can feel really peerpressured into certain things at that age."

"We've had great success in the program, with two boys that previously went through the program now enrolled in university, with one studying to be a doctor and one studying sports-science."

The program isn't a representative team, but is there to expose participants to a variety of training to not only improve their rugby league skill set but to also improve

their general level of health and well-being.

The highlight of the program is a trip to Sydney where players between 14 and 16 years go behind the scenes of local NRL clubs to learn about professional and sporting opportunities.

"When we go to Sydney, we have access to four Rugby League clubs. The NRL clubs have far better resources than we do so the boys get education programs where they learn about education in diet, leadership development, job opportunities, as well as discussions around the effects of drugs and alcohol," Tony said.

"During our last trip to Sydney, we took the boys to visit the homeless people in Martin Place to give the boys an insight to how lucky they really are. We're going to start working with Orange Sky Laundry on the Coast so that they boys can learn about giving back to the community."

The next program will kick off in June, with the Sydney trip taking place around the Easter holidays.

"We've had great long-term sponsors like the Tewantin-Noosa RSL and Orchard Joinery and we're always looking for more sponsors to get on board," he said.

To help fund the program, the Noosa Pirates are calling on the local business community to help sponsor the program for the teens.

Anyone who would like to participate in the program or help sponsor the program can contact Tony Rutledge by calling 0417 244 259 or emailing trutledge@gmx.com. â—?

LOCAL SCHOOL EFFORT RAISES $20,453 Students and teachers at St Andrew's Anglican College bravely shaved, cut or waxed their hair during the World's Greatest Shave, raising an incredible $20,453 for the Leukemia Foundation.

The team, comprising of Felicity Greenbank, Bree Loli, Jack Bowen, Huxton Smith, Luke Harding, Chelsea Phillips, Tatum Attias, Alex Eldridge, Charlie Hallett, Zahlia Terlich and Evony Elley, worked together to raise the phenomenal amount of cash, while the rest of the student body showed their support by sporting their own crazy hair.

Team captain, Felicity Greenbank, a teacher at St Andrew's said she participated in honour of her father, Mal. "Dad was diagnosed with the most aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in November 2016," Felicity said.

"Over the next nine months, he had six cycles of chemotherapy. His hair began falling out in clumps after the first cycle which came as quite a shock. Dad asked me to shave it off and this was a really emotional part of our journey because he always had a lot of hair. He even had a 'fro when he met Mum, so losing his hair was like losing part of his identity."

Though now in remission, Felicity says Mal is still rebuilding his strength after a stem cell transplant.

"It took much more recovery than we could have ever anticipated. The more we can help other families who are going through this horrendous time, the better."

On Thursday, Mal again shaved his head -voluntarily this time - after raising almost $3000 for Blood Cancer research.

"I am so incredibly proud of my dad, and I couldn't let him go through it alone, so I cut off most of my hair too," Felicity said.

Another teacher who participated is Bree Loli who teamed up with her husband Zorro to shave their heads.

St Andrew’s teacher Bree Loli shaved in honour of her father-in-law who passed last year from cancer.

The St Andrew’s student body showed their support for the Shave by turning out in force.

"We believe if you can help, you should," Bree said.

"This is something we can do quite easily; it's just a haircut, and we can raise a substantial amount of money doing it."

Zorro lost his father Laufika to cancer just a little over a year ago, so Bree says raising money for any type of cancer research feels "of great personal value" to them.

Teacher Mitch Sokolowski had his legs waxed after being voted in by students of the house that donated the most money. He put on a brave face despite what appeared to be a not-so-pleasant wax job.

Felicity said she is "absolutely humbled" by the generosity of sponsors. "To raise more than $20,000 is an incredible achievement. I am so proud of everyone on the St Andrew's team but also all the friends and family of our community for getting behind such an important cause." ●

BUSINESS AS USUAL AT NOOSA BOATHOUSE DESPITE SALE Phil and Sarah only Friday last week extended an invitation to their new landlord to attend the Line Caught Grain Finished lunch event as part of the official 2019 Noosa Food and Wine Festival.

The lunch saw a fantastic collaboration between three talented chefs - Noosa Boathouse's own Shane Bailey, Nick Holloway from NuNu in Palm Cove and TV chef Ben O'Donoghue from Billykart Kitchen.

12419006-CG22-19

Despite media reports that Noosa's famous Boathouse had been sold, the Boathouse sale extends only to leasehold and the current business owners will continue to operate as normal.

Current business owners of nearly six years Phil and Sarah Bradford will remain operating their successful three level bistro, bar and events business with a long-term lease in place, securing the iconic floating dining hub's prominent future.

The three chefs put together a magnificent four course beef and seafood feast for the 130 diners.

Contrary to reports, local developer Mark Bain was not the final purchaser of the vessel and marina.

While Phil and Sarah can't confirm the buyer's identity, they are thrilled to have another long term and well-respected Noosa local as their landlord and will continue to develop a great relationship moving forward.

With hundreds of pre-booked weddings and events already on the books for the next 18 months, Phil assures all valued Noosa Boathouse couples, clients and guests that there will be absolutely no change to

how their weddings and events business will be run, with the same applying to the other four elements of their business - the restaurant, Little Boaty Coffee Bar, Fish & Chips Takeaway and the Sunset Bar. "We will continue providing the same locally harvested produce, excellent service and wonderful experiences to our guests in all areas of the business."

"We've worked really hard to get a great team in place who have helped us to get the business to where it is today. We are thankful for the ongoing support of both locals and holiday makers alike. Please be assured that it's business as usual here at Noosa Boathouse," Phil said. ●

NOOSA PUTS ON AUSTRALIA’S TEATIME

BY ABBEY CANNAN Over 140 community members gathered for Australia's Biggest Morning Tea at Noosa Boathouse on Thursday 23 May to raise money for those impacted by cancer.

It was a fun time for all with lots of tea, sweets, a raffle, lucky door prizes and entertainment by vocalist Vicki Baird.

Cancer Council Queensland Noosa Branch chairperson, Annie Evans said it was always lovely to see so many community members get behind the cause at the morning tea.

"Everyone here today is helping make a difference. This event helps fund vital cancer research, prevention programs and support services for cancer patients and families," Annie said.

"I'd like to thank Phil and Sarah from Noosa Boathouse who have kindly donated the River Room for the event over the past four years.

"I'd also like to thank all of the businesses that donated raffle prizes and the caters for their delicious food."

Annie said the event hoped to raise about $4000 for the Cancel Council. â—?

THE BOLTON REPORT

SANDY BOLTON, NOOSA MP

COMMUNITY COMMUNICATION

BY SANDY BOLTON NOOSA MP Every month I am confronted with having so much to share, and never enough space to do so!

So this month I will try to cover multiple topics under a common prominent denominator- communications, community consultation and engagement.

The past 4 weeks as an example has seen proposed flights paths and a potential clinic closure that residents were unaware of, and consultation on Bills limited to 14 days for stakeholders to respond, which I highlighted in an Adjournment speech in Parliament.

What did I say? We have a problem.

In an era of multiple forms of notification, why are many not receiving, prepared to receive, or sending via the right form of transmission? Let's look at what successful communication requires.

A sender, and a receiver - both requiring clarity, reception (a hot topic in itself!) and an agreed effective method of transmission.

The way we 'send' has become vast in comparison to my early years which consisted of 'snail' mail, traditional media, telephone (the dial variety!), noticeboards, flyers, banners, hard copy newsletters ... and no, not smoke signals!. We now have those plus much, much more. Facebook, FB messenger, email, Twitter, SMS, Instagram, digital newsletters, online discussion portals ... the list goes on, and I use all in order to share information. And yet, we still have, in multiple realms, a communications failure, at all levels of community and government.

There are many reasons given when I speak with residents, including the vast volume of information, misinformation, lack of clarity, vested interests and outright fallacies that are creating mayhem within our ability to sort through, trust, and figure out what is relevant. If something is not personally

addressed - it is delegated to the bin, virtual or otherwise. With the volume in all inboxes this is not a surprise - 'spam' was much better in the tin? So have we through multicommunications become overwhelmed, and in turn averse to communicating? Has our own internal 'cable' become clogged, and as

a by-product, we are not open to receiving, or seeking relevant information?

Reaching out is resource intensive, especially when there is multiple forms, and not effective if we have become non receptive through sheer overload. The question is, how do we create an effective communication form that all residents will engage with, or at least read, in order to ensure our community is informed?

There is nothing worse than to hear those words - 'we did not know'. It is a dilemma, and one at a recent public meeting that was highlighted. As attendees pointed out, for those not online, or prepared to provide email addresses or mobile numbers, even to credible sources - do we need to head 'back to the future' and communicate via addressed 'snail' mail? An expensive method, and not possible for the majority, including community groups. One form that we saw demonstrated this month that was very effective with a location specific issue was where committed individuals 'formed and stormed' - through commitment of time, research, and thousands of hand delivered flyers. As a by-product, 3 new community organisations were 'born' in record time and with record numbers, and regardless of the outcome, is testimony to what can be achieved through one of the most powerful forms of consultation 'community communication'.

The collective voice - fabulous!

Until next time Sandy ●

NEWS SUNSHINE COAST DAIRY BOTTLES MARKET Kenilworth Dairies will conquer new markets and create up to 24 direct and indirect jobs thanks to Rural Economic Development (RED) Grant funding from the Palaszczuk Government.

Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries Mark Furner said Kenilworth Dairies was one of 15 businesses in Queensland to receive a RED Grant to help fund the expansion of their business.

"Kenilworth Dairies is a well-known local dairy producer in the Sunshine Coast area with a strong reputation for producing highquality dairy products and the funding will go towards establishing their own bottling plant," Mr Furner said.

"The project is expected to create five jobs through the construction phase with another 24 direct and indirect jobs upon completion to carry out business operations."

Kenilworth Dairies owner John Cochrane said the RED grant would help cover set up costs and the purchase of equipment for the bottling plant.

"We will use the money to purchase equipment used to pasteurise the milk and set up a laboratory to monitor the milk for quality and safety purposes," he said.

The bottling plant will help Kenilworth Dairies complete their product line, which includes yoghurt, cheese, mousse and ice cream.

1080 BAITING CONCERNS

LET’S DEBATE RESPECTFULLY Now that the dust has settled on the election, and the result set in stone, it’s important that both sides of the political divide look for a means to move forward in a respectful and appropriate manner.

Divisive, childish, personal attacks do little to convince a person to adopt another’s perspective. Ironically, this has the opposite effect (assuming their goal is to persuade/influence others on their viewpoint).

I am all for debate and intelligent discussion, done so in a respectful and gracious manner. By all means, put forward your alternate solution, but do so in a mature, respectful, unemotional and pleasant way, omitting personal swipes.

HOW AUSTRALIANS VOTE: Remember that experiment where the kids would rather take one marshmallow now than two later? Well, the majority of voters are a bit like that, which is why many rather tax cuts now than, for example, cheaper energy from renewables in the future.

Australians seemingly seek out instantaneous gratification.

Perhaps education might enlighten a person with regard to the value of deferred versus current consumption. Higher intelligence is associated with a more future-focused tendency. Future planning involves the executive brain, which is linked to intelligence through the function of the prefrontal cortex.

Brigid Muir, Cooroy

THE CLIMATE ALARM ELECTION The ALP-Greens-ABC alliance ran hard in Australia’s recent climate alarm election they lost.

So let us see no more anti-coal caravans, hear no more climate propaganda and replace Pied Piper Processions with hard science education. The new government must also stop blatant promotion of green energy with targets, subsidies and carbon taxes, and focus on infrastructure catch-up.

Forecasts of doom are frequent, and they fail just as frequently.

Climate is always changing. Global cooling always follows global warming. Government policies that assume continuous global warming expose our society and economy to huge risks for no measurable benefits when that forecast proves disastrously wrong.

We need more emphasis on reliable baseload coal power, increased water storage and weather-proofed roads and rail.

We must also exit from the UN Paris and Kyoto “agreements”, and emphasise logic, maths and science in education.

Viv Forbes, Washpool

REPLY TO SCEPTICS The sceptic apostles, John, John and Paul, in chorus, criticize calls for action on climate change (Noosa Today, 16 May). The fact that the only parties that proposed action on climate change sadly lost the election does not change the facts.

The arguments by J, J and P fall broadly into three categories:

· Climate change is happening but it is a natural part of a larger cycle that only sceptics know about. This cycle is unknown to all the national peak scientific organisations, NASA, CSIRO, the World Bank, all climate scientists, and the IPCC (which was established by Margaret Thatcher) because, I guess, they might not have thought about it. · Warnings about severe changes in the climate can be ignored because some individual predictions about time lines for exhaustion of finite resources in the past did not come true. · Carbon dioxide is good for the planet, does not absorb heat and the seas will certainly not rise.

Interestingly, these same propositions appear frequently in this paper so responses tend to be repetitious. Apologies. No doubt, this cycle will be repeated as long as the monotonous sceptics are given recurring voice.

Is there a cycle of some sort that could account for current climate change? I am offering $10,000 to anyone who can produce verifiable evidence that such a cycle, or anything, for that matter, exists that could influence our climate to the degree that carbon dioxide is. The person presenting this information would scoff at my offer, however, because the fossil fuel industry would make them very wealthy. This offer is now four months old.

No such cycle exists.

The failed predictions about resource abundance have mostly been made by individuals. The difference with climate change is that over 97 per cenr of climate scientists

agree that the situation is urgent and becoming more so. It doesn’t matter who you are. If you don’t believe a huge majority of scientists about a particular matter, you have nowhere else to go, certainly not to Alan Jones.

Alan Jones famously poured 1.75kg bag of rice into a bowl and pulled out a single grain to represent Australia’s contribution of CO2 to the atmosphere. For such a smart person, he must know how misleading this is. Since I was born, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased by over 30 per cent, over 50 times the historical rate.

All of this increase came from burning fossil fuels, mainly coal, as verified by isotope analysis. Although the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is only .04 per cent, it was the .03 per cent, or 300 parts per million, that kept the planet’s atmosphere stable and warm enough to support life as we know it. If CO2 did not absorb and re emit infra-red radiation (heat), as J. Turner seems to believe, then soon after the sun goes down the temperature would plummet to below freezing every night.

Australia’s contribution to this is only about 1.5 per cent but the total CO2 emitted by all those nations with this amount of pollution makes up more than any of the other single polluters. We have a responsibility to contribute to the reduction in CO2 emissions.

Climate change deniers seem to sit comfortably with flat earthers, moon landing hoaxers, chemtrail spotters, healthy tobacco advocates, and anti-vaxxers They all mistrust science, sometimes to our peril.

Thankyou Margaret Maccoll for your excellent article of 23 May - raising concerns over 1080 baiting. Her concerns are completely justified.

This poor family on the Sunshine Coast lost a much-loved pet dog to 1080 poisoning - 25 May - it is so sad to hear this pet dog died in such an horrific way and suffered pain, also the family’s grief at their loss under such awful circumstances. Craig Doolan, Noosa’s environmental services manager says that there have been no reports of pet dog deaths - well, here is one!

People don’t realize how dangerous this baited meat is. It’s 1080, a chemical compound, man-made, deadly poison with no antidote and prolifically used, The councils say twice a year, but it’s being put around much more than that now.

Canid ejectors are spring 1080 loaded traps buried in the ground - the animal steps on it unaware and it sprays 1080 into its mouth.

They put this down supposedly to kill foxes but many pet dogs get killed this way and other animals such as native species.

Also other animals and birds like crows and magpies pick up this baited meat and it can be dropped into backyards.

Please email Noosa Council and ask for 1080 to be banned. Remember there is NO ANTIDOTE for this deadly poison. It’s horrendously cruel the animal suffers for hours it dies an horrific death.

It’s condemned by the Humane Society International, the World League for Animals and the RSPCA says it’s a cruel death.

Also many more organisations state it’s too cruel and too dangerous - facts need to be presented, not the lie that it’s a natural plant - it’s not - 1080 is the chemical manufacturer’s name.

All animals, wild species domestic and birds die a terrible prolonged death. One vet described it as being electrocuted for hours on end.

There is a chronic addiction to using poisons in Australia as it’s the easiest option. We must get a change in their mindset and challenge councils and governments to review the dangers of using 1080 in this country.

Meat used for the baits are kangaroo and horse meat from the waste meat of slaughterhouses furthering the cruelty factors. There is no place for 1080 poison in a civilised society - it’s cruel, indiscriminate and kills anything and everything that consumes it.

It also creates species imbalance by wiping out Australia’s apex predator - other species breed unchecked and create problems.

COMMUNITY SUPPORTS RED SHIELD

BY RON LANE On Tuesday morning at 6.30 it was time again for people of our community to gather at Peppers for the annual Salvation Army fund raising breakfast and all in attendance would have to agree that it was once again a successful occasion. M.C Jo Desmond (from Channel 7) introduced chairman of the organizing committee John Madill, who welcomed guests and thanked them for their ongoing support.

Then speaking on behalf of the Salvation Army Major Warren Parkenson expressed his gratitude. "This is our eight year of this fundraiser and it is indeed a wonderful feeling to again see the support that you people continue to give. Without these funds our job would indeed be difficult; and thank you to this great Red Shield

Committee of volunteers, whose tireless work, makes this occasion a success and also Peppers for their continued support."

Regarding finance, chairman John Madill said, "Last year funds raised from our community were in the vicinity of $52,200 and this year 2019 our goal is to reach $60,000.This would put overall monies raised in the Noosa district to approximately $250,000.We would also like to thank Peppers not only for being our host but also their great food and service."

Following this the M.C. introduced a lady, a lady whose journey through life had been one of extreme hardship loneliness and disappointments; then finally she was able to obtain work in Noosa. Before this, she found that in times of sheer desperation the people of the Salvation Army had been there to support and guide her. Her stories

were filled with honesty and many of her life experiences were mind boggling. It is when we meet women such as this, women who have experienced the dark side of life that we come to fully appreciate the work of the Salvos. ''My life changed because of the Sallies," she said in closing.

Also there as a guest speaker was Noosas own Master Chef Matt Golinski. Matt spoke of "Life inside the Kitchen," how it runs, where the products come from, experimenting with new dishes; and above all helping the young. He spoke briefly of his hardships, taking the opportunity to thank those whose support and love (the sallies and others, some of whom were in attendance) kept him alive and gave massive support on the road to recovery.

"I have been 30 years in the kitchen and I am happy to be there: happy to inspire the

team (in the kitchen) to be better and always do something different."

When asked does he cook at home, he replied with a laugh, "Yes I cook for the family and I love it." Between speakers the guests were entertained by up and coming Gympie country vocalist and songwriter Caitlyn Shadbolt; and seated in the crowd to support both the Sallies and Caitlyn were Noosas own rising stars The Dennis Sisters. To wind up the morning an auction was held; for accommodation at the Ocean Breeze Resort with River Cruises, Camping Package, a company Box at a Broncos Game and tickets for the Gympie Muster.

The Red Shield Committee definitely organised a winner; great speaker's good food and money raised for the best cause of all-- Our Salvos. ●

FURTHER PROTECTION FOR NOOSA’S KOALAS SECURED The Palaszczuk Government has delivered the first stage of the $3.5 million Noosa Koala Corridor Project thanks to a Queensland first partnership between Department of Environment and Science (DES), Noosa Shire Council, Noosa Parks Association and HQPlantations Pty Ltd (HQP).

The State Parliament approved on Wednesday 15 May the upgrade of nearly 360 hectares of the Yurol and Ringtail State forests which will be dedicated as national park following final approval from the Governor-in-Council.

Environment Minister Leeanne Enoch said the Palaszczuk Government is committed to growing the protected estate in Queensland to deliver further protection for our native flora and fauna, particularly our iconic koala.

"The Yurol and Ringtail State forest upgrade project is the first of its kind in Queensland and demonstrates our continued commitment to explore innovative solutions for preserving the states biodiversity.

"I am so excited for this project, the Noosa Koala Corridor will deliver significant regional environmental, social and economic benefits and ultimately see an additional 2400 hectares of habitat achieve the state's highest level of protection," Ms Enoch said.

"What makes the project unique is that it

allows protection and restoration activities to take place as timber harvesting in these forests is phased out over approximately five years."

This first stage of the project will see 357 hectares of core habitat added to the Tewantin National Park.

"Before plantation establishment, these forestry areas supported regional ecosystems that are now endangered and of concern in South East Queensland.

"Their habitat values for koalas and other species of wildlife are of great importance to this state's unique biodiversity, and it's vital we protect and restore them.

"Thanks to this project we will now be able to conserve a vegetation corridor containing essential habitat for 25 threatened species and three near threatened species including, the giant barred frog, the Richmond birdwing butterfly, the Mary River cod, and of course the koala.

"This $3.5 million investment to retire the land from plantation forestry for conservation purposes is being jointly funded by the Department of Environment and Science (DES), Noosa Shire Council and Noosa Parks Association and HQ Plantations Pty Ltd. "I commend and thank the Noosa Shire Council, Noosa Parks Association and HQP, who have worked with the Queensland Government to design and deliver this landmark partnership," Minister Enoch said. ●

NOOSA BREWERIES WIN BIG FOR THEIR BEERS

BY ABBEY CANNAN The best beers in the world have been tasted and judged at the prestigious 2019 Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA), with Noosa breweries taking out some big awards.

Land & Sea Brewery is celebrating after winning three silver medals for their Kolsch, Little Cove Lager and First Point Pale Ale. Since opening in January of 2018, Noosa's Land & Sea Brewery has consecutively won medals at the AIBA awards, with this year being its most successful yet.

"We're really stoked to win yet more awards for our beers, the public's reaction to them speaks for itself but it's also nice to have industry recognition. Results like these and our ongoing success all comes down to our brew team and the involvement of all noosatoday.com.au

of our staff and customers," business owner Tim Crabtree said.

Heads of Noosa Brewing Co. was also recognised for its beers by AIBA, with its Japanese Lager, Summer Dusk, Bock and Pilsner all picking up medals and the Summer Dusk winning gold.

Heads of Noosa has only been operating since January this year and has already picked up a slew of medals in both their outings to date. Heads of Noosa are one of the newest additions to an emerging craft beer scene on the Sunshine Coast of Australia. Their main point of difference to date is that they have exclusively brewed lagers and it seems to be working for them.

Heads of Noosa founders Lance and Craig Masterton said it was exciting to have their beers being so well received not only by the public but by professional beer judges.

"Flying the flag for beer in Noosa

is an honour and we hope to continue building the beer scene in our backyard and the whole region. We're lucky to have a really strong beer scene around us on the Sunny Coast and we all push each other to be better and to grow market share for independent craft beer together," Craig said.

"As a brewer there's no better feeling than getting positive feedback on your brews, whether it's a new customer in the Taproom or via international beer awards.

To have all four of our entries pick up a medal, including a gold, says we're doing something right," Lance said.

WHAT’S ON QUEENSLAND BALLET IS WELL AND TRULY ALIVE AND KICKING Queensland Ballet will return to 'NOOSA alive!' to present an exclusive program of dance for festival-goers on Saturday 27 July. There are two performance times - at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.

The program will include a breathtaking line-up of new contemporary work and divertissements from classical repertoire - performed by Queensland Ballet's Jette Parker Young Artists and Company Artists.

COME TOGETHER FOR A BUSK

BY ABBEY CANNAN

The Hillbilly Goats.

The fourth annual Noosa Come Together Festival and Noosa Busking Championships will take place on the weekend of 8 and 9 June at the beautiful Noosa River foreshore.

Noosa Come Together and the Busking Championships present a wonderful affordable family weekend of entertainment, activities and music for the local community and is fast becoming an item in the Noosa Events calendar, not to miss.

This festival was born in 2016 when a small a group of locals joined together to raise funds to ensure that the "Sailability" sailing program for children and people with disabilities would continue on the Noosa River. Funds raised to date have kept the Sailability program going for three years now.

This event provides an affordable day out for local families with activities including;

children's rides, international food stalls, and two music venues showcasing local and disabled artists.

Festival organiser Oz Bayldon said the festival is a celebration of being local.

"In the first year we raised over $10 grand and it just keeps on getting bigger and better," Oz said.

"When I see kids doing outdoor activities it makes me happy, that's why I decided I was going to do my best to make more of it happen.

"The idea of the festival is to bring the old community together with the new community.

"This year, we are hoping to attract even more sponsors so we can better support our three recipient charities: Sailability, Riding for the Disabled and the Disabled Surfers Association."

This amazing event is growing

rapidly with more musicians, artists and contributors each year.

"This year we have our best line up by far with three stages. We have over 20 local acts, with bands also coming from Brisbane and we have the Hillbilly Goats headlining who are a festival favourite," Oz said.

"Without our sponsors we wouldn't be where we are today. We've had loads of really generous donations and we're always looking for more."

Stay informed by liking Facebook pages both for Noosa Come Together and Noosa Busking Championships or visiting websites for both.

If you would like to volunteer or sponsor this inclusive, important community event and help those less fortunate, please contact Oz Bayldon for NCT at oz@ theactivecommunity.org or Tony Oxley for Busking at annetony@iinet.net.au. â—?

EUMUNDI DRAGONS PLAY WITH HEART U10 MATCH REPORT BY U10 MANAGER PAMELA CAMPBELL-JONES

U8 MATCH REPORT BY U8 MANAGER ANDREW HILLHOUSE

At home in Eumundi this weekend and our U10 boys had a fast, tough game on their hands against University. Another week of solid training had the boys feeling quietly confident of their skills.

Uni came out quickly and the Dragons were on the back foot early. The game went back and forth, both teams scoring tries and kicking conversions. The scrums were most certainly contested by both sides.

The Dragons didn't take the win this weekend, however they were commended by coaches on their hard and fair play, and for always playing the game in the spirit of rugby. All parents and supporters were pleased with the way the boys played and held their own.

The Most Improved Player this week was Patrick and Man of the Match went to Will S.

Eumundi Dragons U8s Round 5 V Maroochydore Five minutes into this game and we were thinking that our job here is done. The Dragons scored a true team try with the ball passing between at least 7 players at pace. They backed up the ball carrier who each time looked around for support before unloading and finally putting Jet in the clear to score.

It was tough but even match with some very scrappy rucks and mauls. Eumundi managed to steal the ball quite a few times and often it would be little Ted who would emerge with it. A driving ruck from the "forwards" won the ball that set up a great run and try from Lucas and good team work and passing provided Billie the space he needed to get down the far side.

improvement in the speed of distribution following touches. The whole team contributed well with some great runs from Maya, CJ, Owen and Jack. Tristan and Zach had a strong game in defence and the whole team showed real determination throughout the game. CJ had a player of the week performance doing a great job of sharing his passes among his team members and putting in a strong effort. Keep it up team.

U6 MATCH REPORT BY U6 MANAGER RACHAEL GRIGGS The mighty U6 shined at their home ground up against the Maroochydore Swans. All team members got involved and showed great passing and running skills. We are improving each week and are a force to be reckoned with. Player of the game was Nya with a great try scored. ●

Gallent runs from Jack, Josh, Brooklyn and George kept the Dragons on the front foot for most of the game, Just as they were tiring Jasper stepped on the gas with a muscling charge through the pack followed by a pop pass from the ground.

They let Maroochy run around them a few time but otherwise the tackling by Jet, Jasper, Billie, George and Josh was relentless with many last minute try saving tackles by Lucas.

Player of the week was awarded to Jet for a strong game in the forwards and the backs, great teamwork, a great try, getting back on the field after being winded and a very committed training session on Thursday.

Match report for U7's Manager Jero Mansell The Dragons U7's had a great game in the autumn sunshine against a very competitive Maroochydore side. The team built on good passing and support play from previous weeks with a noticeable

Both teams had great games against Caloundra, Brothers and Grammar.

Fantastic sportsmanship by both teams, all the players worked together in attack and defence. Lots of great runs and passing is getting better every week!! Players of the Match - Max and Archie

U9 NOOSA REDS V BROTHERS This week the Noosa U9 Reds team took on Brothers at Noosa. The team worked really well together in defence this week with Ash, Curtis, and Ishaka making try saving tackles. Our pocket rocket Liam had a big game with some stepping runs and a big heart in defence. Ollie, Alex, and Nico were in the thick of the action again and Henry, Harper, Annie and Eli all contributed to a great team effort.

Ishaka was our Dominos player of the day picking up 4 tries to go with his excellent tackling.

U9 FINS V GRAMMER Under 9 Fins played Sunshine Coast Grammer this week and boy it was even stevens.

Grammer worked hard at the rucks to try and get our ball but the lads managed to get it back and pump it out to our awesome speedy try scorer Jacob who puts in a great effort each week.

Harrison put on some fantastic tackles & good off loads, along with Cody who was everywhere supporting his team . Max got really involved this week and made good tackels and runs a awesome improvement.

Good preparation for the Clash of the Noosa Under 9's next weekend at Maroochydore.

Dominoes Player of the Day - Superstar Jacob Kain

U14 NOOOSA V BROTHERS This week the Dolphin U/14's took on the much heavier Brothers team. A game played with great passion by both teams saw many hard hits and try saving tackles. Brothers were able to edge ahead in the score but the mighty Dolphins showed great tenacity and skill ascoss the field. Noosa defeated 10-19.

U15 NOOSA 31 V WESTERN DISTRICTS GOLD 7 After a long Sunday morning drive to Toowong for this Round 1 Brisbane comp game, Noosa put together a strong team performance to take maximum points. In a hard contest where the home team did not lie down, all Noosa tries were the result of some quality team work and great finishing.

Tries: Ethan Deck, Sabyr Kime, Max Ruster, James Gelling, Lochie Campbell Conversions: Jarrah Charlesworth (3) ●

TIGERS’ 52 POINT VICTORY The Rococo's Bar and Bistro Noosa Tigers have come away with a more than satisfying 52 point victory over a very desperate and hungry Coorparoo last Saturday in Brisbane. Not everything went the way of the top of the table Tigers as Coorparoo through the 'kitchen sink' at them for the first three quarters. Their pressure all over the ground was worrying the more fancied Tigers and at the last break it was the Noosa side by just 8 points.

Up until that stage the back six had been superb with skipper Laskey instrumental and Ryley Buntain and Harry Maher continuing their strong reign of form.

The Tigers were down to no one on the bench so rotations in the final stanza were nonexistent. What was going to happen in the last was anyone's guess.

Low and behold, on came the onslaught

as the Noosa boys banged on 8 last quarter goals in just a sublime performance to run out 52 point winners and put an end to any possible upset that may have been on the cards. Coach Adam Bovalino saying 'I'll be honest I was a little nervous heading into the last quarter but the boys were just awesome. It's the sign of a really good side to be able to put the foot down under pressure and finish like that. Coorparoo were really tough today and we are just stoked to go into the week off a game and percentage clear on top.'

Footy manager Mitch Woods went into the centre and played his part in the victory whilst young Angus Smyth was a standout across half back.

Club veterans and champions Peter Trompf and Caleb Isles had their own influence, in a really solid win. ● noosatoday.com.au

LIFE OF BRINE

PHIL JARRATT

CALIFORNIA CRUISING

BY PHIL JARRATT Back in California last week we drove up to Santa Cruz where I had planning meetings with the World Surfing Reserves executive for Noosa's dedication as the tenth World Surfing Reserve next February.

I hadn't been to Santa Cruz for more than 20 years, when Jeff Hakman and I did a memorable West Coast book tour for Mr Sunset, covering every surf town between San Diego and San Francisco, but it was great to see that the town's rough-aroundthe edges charm hasn't faded. Santa Cruz is one of those American coastal resorts where they've turned a perfectly fine bay into a rather garish amusement park, but if you can overlook the roller coasters and the hot dog stands, there's a lot to like.

The constant soundtrack of barking seals might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I rather like hearing them loving life, and lolling around on the platform built for them under the pier. And then of course, just up West Cliff Drive you've got the world class wave of Steamer Lane, and inside its bowling right there is the friendlier longboard setup of Cowell's Beach. Just down the other end of the bay is my favourite of Santa Cruz's many surf breaks - Pleasure Point.

On this occasion there wasn't a lot of time for surfing as I had a full day of meeting's with the WSR, which is headquartered not in Santa Cruz itself but a dozen miles further north up the dramatic coast along Highway 1 at a blink-and-you'llmiss-it town called Davenport. I did blink and I ended up having to seek directions at a jam factory further north, but eventually

pipped her record 29 career victories. Few surfers have ever been more competitive than Layne, so it took her about 30 seconds - one for every one of Steph's wins - to digest this, then she said: "Good on her, Steph is amazing."

And Steph is also now on top of the leaderboard with a good chance of passing Layne's record seven world titles this season.

But Layne is philosophical about that too, and there is a catch. Last September in the Azores Islands Layne won the WSL world masters' championships, which is recognised as an official professional world title. So technically Layne still has the edge.

The performances last Saturday at the Corona Bali protected were nothing short of amazing. While it was wonderful to see the sublimely talented Kanoa Igarashi claim a maiden tour victory for Japan, I felt a bit sorry for France's Jeremy Flores, whose career I've been following since he was a 10 year old cutie who would greet you with a kiss on both cheeks. He's had some ups and downs in his pro career, but right now he's at the very top of his game, and I thought his power gouges in the pocket in doubleoverhead waves could have been rewarded a little better.

And what can you say about 47-yearold Kelly Slater, who surfed so brilliantly to dispense with Filipe Toledo but couldn't find an exit from his barrels against Igarashi.

As we watched the replay of the Toledo quarter final, 47-year-old Layne Beachley said: "He's never going to give up, is he!"

If his performance at Keramas is a guideline, I certainly hope not. ●

Happy Steph Gilmore gets chaired off the beach.

I found World Surfing Reserves and the global headquarters of the Save The Waves Coalition in a repurposed 80-year-old fruit juice factory nestled against the cliffs and looking out over a wild and woolly lineup.

From this base CEO Nik Strong-Cvetich and his small team - including recent hire Trent Hodges, who will be guiding our Noosa team through the final stages of our stewardship plan - manage not only the existing WSRs but also the 100 or so applicants from around the world now on file. In addition to this, the sister NGO Save The Waves works at protecting coastal ecosystems around the world in partnership with local communities, utilizing a unique combination of protected areas, economics, and direct action.

The direct economic benefits of having a world class surf break in your community (known as "surfonomics") has given Nik and

his team leverage to achieve good outcomes in many places where a majority of nonsurfing residents were not even fully aware of their blessings. In Noosa, a town that grew on the back of its surfing potential, most people are aware of what we have, but Noosa World Surfing Reserve's Professor Javier Leon has been working for several months on documenting the economic benefit as part of our stewardship plan, and the results will startle a lot of people.

Steph's perfect day Back home in Australia last weekend, I was with Layne Beachley and Kirk Pengilly at the Captain Cook Festival at Town of 1770 when the news came through from Bali that the amazing Steph Gilmore had chalked up her 30th world tour victory with a perfect 10 in pumping waves at Keramas.

As soon as Layne had finished giving a motivational talk, I told her that Steph had

TALKING SPORT

RON LANE

THIS CLUB IS IN VERY GOOD HANDS Head Coach (and Technical Director of Coaching) Kevin A'Herne-Evans last season saw the Lions go undefeated in the Premier Men's Division, with 19 wins from 20 games( the one out being a 2 all draw);thus claiming the Premiership and Grand Final.

So far this season they have played 8 games for 6 wins and 2 draws; this gives them 25 wins and 3 draws from their last 28 games.

In the Premier Women's Division Head Coach is Dani Bishop-Klyne and this squad boasts of having the highest number of female participants on the Sunshine Coast.

They also pride themselves with, "Giving opportunity to young local players that aspire to play at the highest level possible."

Definitely a club on the move.

A sport that has really taken hold is the Ocean Swims. These are conducted for both men and women over longer courses than the usual short course surf club carnival swims.

On Sunday as part of Runaway Noosa Marathon Festivities, Noosa was the scene of a 3.8 kl and 2kl swims as well as the shorter distances of 1kl and 500mt. And once again the both the 3.8 and the 2kl. events for men were won by Nick Sloman

Nick Sloman, John Rodgers and Kareena Lee. and in the womens division the winner was Kareena Lee. "Conditions were very flat so it was swim all the way," said Sloman.

Both, trained by legendary swim coach John Rogers, are members of the Noosa Surf club and are presently in training for the Open Sea World Championships to be held in South Korea in July; the distance will be 10kl. We wish coach and swimmers all the very best.

The water safety for these events was conducted by members of the Mudjimba and Noosa Surf Clubs: using both rescue boards and IRBs: with some 30 members on patrol, all aspects of safety were covered.

With only a couple of charter trips running during the week Sunshine Reef was the favourite to fish. Fish caught included small snapper, grassy sweetlip, spotty and Spanish mackerel and longtail tuna. The pelagic fish taking floated live and dead baits and the reefies all falling to paternoster rigged fresh baits of pilchard and squid. If floating dead baits in darker waters don't forget to use a tinsel head for that extra bit of sparkle that pelagics just love. The weekend provided some great conditions for all with a wide range of species caught from Halls Reef to North Reef and beyond. Most anglers fishing hard on the bottom and of course using floated pilchard and slimy mackerel baits. The bar still having a bit of swell rolling through during the early mornings so care should be taken if in a smaller boat.

In the surf the post full moon bite has seen small jewies caught all along the coastline with the odd mackerel from the stones too. These fish love a wide variety of suspending lures and soft plastics with mackerel loving sinking stickbaits in the rougher conditions. Fishing soft plastics from the rocky areas has seen small snapper and sweetlip caught as well as bream and a few trevally. Rock fishing can be great this time of year as the pelagics are still about and the winter species are moving in.

The river has been fishing well with some solid golden trevally getting hooked.

Traditionally bottom feeders, these fish can be found around Woods Bay, Munna Point and toward the marina. They are a sucker for prawn imitation lures as well as small micro jigs hopped along in the sand. Flatties can be found by fishing the drop offs during a run out tide with the river mouth and the dog beach two great options. Upping your jighead weight to the next size will help keep

Well done to all concerned and a big pat on the back to Tourism Noosa. Sport brings people to our town.

Despite the inclement weather the rebuilding of the Sunshine Beach Surf Lifesaving Club is progressing as planned. ''All being well this Friday we will have our first pour of the foundations," said Building Committee Chairman Warick Redwood, "So we are hoping the weather holds." On Monday, the club held its Annual Sponsors Breakfast at Peregian Springs thus giving the club the opportunity to express their sincere thanks for their outstanding support during the 2018/19 season. ●

Fishing a whole fish bait or strip of mullet close to the bottom will certainly get some interest and other species that take a liking to this are trevally, tailor and of course big bream. In the lead up to the new moon the evening bite will be coming on for live baiting. This is a time where the bigger fish including mangrove and bull sharks will be on the prowl so be sure to know your target and gear up accordingly.

The decline in recent rains that have lowered the waters temperature have come to a brief end. The fish will be found in deeper waters during low light and along the weed lines enjoying the warmer daytime sun. Best lures would have to be suspending and slow floating hardbodies in various dive depths and colours. Be sure to spot lock those electric motors and work all points before moving on. The surface bite will be slow so if you do not get any interest within half an hour to forty minutes consider changing to a sub surface option or a micro jig.

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

When one looks at the facts and figures from the Noosa Lions Football Club, the unwritten bottom line would have to be, that this club is definitely in good hands.

Information provided, tells us that with 700+ playing members, 58 teams (ranging from u/6s to o/35s) and a staff of some 90 coaches, this makes the Noosa Lions the highest populated soccer club on the Sunshine Coast.

Perhaps the most encouraging factor is that the teams for kids start at u/ 6 and for with a good coaching panel in place, this structure is certain to bring success in the future.

Since November 2012, the club has operated out of the Girraween Sports Complex which is situated on Eenie Creek Road Noosa Heads. Established in 1973 the clubs aim is to "Offer all comers an opportunity to play football in a safe and friendly environment and the two pathways on offer, for our junior players, are elite and community based programs." Since 2015 the club has, under the Presidency of Alinda Bryant doubled in player membership.

The 2018 season was indeed a season for the clubs history books. Under current
