MORE TO LOVE The editor’s desk It was heartbreaking to see the mother and baby koala hit and run on Saturday.

With the numbers of koalas dwindling because of the loss of their habitats and disease it makes it even sadder to lose two healthy females, one just a baby.

Wildlife carers are doing their best to help sick and injured wildlife. There's even a Noosa Region Koala Rescue team sponsored by Queensland Koala Crusaders and trained by Wildcare Australia.

With trauma season in full swing and known koala hot spots identified a few signs warning motorists to look out for koalas may just prevent another tragedy. If you do see an injured koala or accidentally hit one call 1300animal.

The quicker they get help the better their chances of survival. ● Margaret Maccoll

STOP TO HELP KOALAS

BY MARGARET MACCOLL Car accidents happen but stopping to help injured wildlife could mean the difference between life and death. This is the message Queensland Koala Crusaders (QKC) want residents to hear after two healthy female koalas - a mother and her joey - were knocked down and left to die last weekend on Weyba Road, near Leslie Drive, Noosaville.

QKC president Meghan Halverson said QKC was lobbying Council to put up a sign to warn motorists to be on the lookout for koalas in the area.“It looks like there’s a recovering population

there,“ Meghan said. “A lot use that footpath.“ Weyba Road, Eenie Creek Road and McKinnon Drive are the koala hot spots where most accidents have occurred, she said.

Meghan urged anyone involved in an accident with an animal to stop and call the 24 hour Wildlife Volunteers Association (Wilvos) hotline for help.“Someone calls it in to Wilvos, our rescuers go out as fast as they can,“ she said. “We have a really fast response. A fast response is important - minutes or hours can make a difference.“ For all native wildlife emergencies phone Wilvos on 5441 6200. ●

WE NEED DOCTORS FOR COOROORA

BY MARGARET MACCOLL The inability to find doctors to work at Cooroora Family Heath at Pomona was a major reason the clinic is now in negotiations with a buyer for the practice in order to keep it running and settle Medicare debts.

The clinic manager said having five doctors would have been a good start in getting the practice back on track but it was operating with three doctors after efforts to hire others had failed. "GPs are becoming a rarity," she said.

They advertised widely to no

avail and other means were very costly. The manager said hiring though a recruitment agency would cost $18,000 and the fee for a locum doctor was $6000 a week.

Last May the community rallied to the aid of the clinic after letters were sent to about 3000 of its 5000 patients to tell them it was struggling with more than $360,000 in debt to Medicare with repayments of $15,000 per month and the situation had led the clinic's principal doctor Ann Buchan to take a break.

In the letter Dr Buchan said the

clinic had amassed the debt because it operated outside the normal parameters of Medicare by providing an emergency room type service which saves them from attending hospital Emergency Departments, providing three hospital type beds and bulk billing all patients.

Dr Buchan's partner Colleen Brosnan said Dr Buchan had used all her superannuation and they'd taken all they could out of their mortgage to pay the debt. After taking leave Dr Buchan is now back at the clinic working hard, she said. ●

DAM WORK BEGINS As part of the Lake Macdonald dam upgrade Seqwater is now surveying the lake for aquatic life using a powered boat that is tracking its way up and down the lake in a grid pattern to detect fish.

Using an echo sounder the boat survey aims to provide an estimate of the number, variety, size and location of fish species present in the lake to inform Seqwater's fish management plan for lowering the lake. This is the first major upgrade of Lake Macdonald Dam since the wall was raised in 1980 and will involve building a new spillway and reconstructing the embankments to better protect the dam against earthquakes and extreme floods.

The bridge between Lake Macdonald Drive and the water treatment plant will be closed from Monday 12 August to Saturday 17 August while drilling in the area downstream of the spillway is conducted.

Trekkers wanting to access the Noosa Trail network are advised to park in Kookaburra Park and access the trails on foot. ●

ERG ARE ALWAYS ON ALERT AND WATCHING OUT

BY RON LANE On Friday evening at 6 pm eleven volunteer life savers from Noosa Heads, Sunshine Beach and Peregian clubs attended a meeting as members of the Emergency Response Group, otherwise known as the ERG. Just who, you may ask, are these people and what do they do?

As members of the ERG it is their job to respond 24/7 to

emergency callouts within their local coastal regions. With many of these occurring in the dead of night regardless of weather conditions, it is definitely not a job for the faint hearted.

Essential requirements for this team are dedication, training in all aspects of IRB (inflatable Rescue Boats) operation, the wave runner jet rescue skis and radio

communication, plus knowledge of surf and local areas. Above all is the ability to work and respond as a member of a team under any conditions; including of course, the dead of night.

When call outs occur members can find themselves working with police, ambulance, fire and rescue personal. This emphasizes the importance of communication and

a clear understanding of what lies ahead. It all starts when those in need call OOO and from there the relevant teams are notified.

To keep the group fully updated meeting chairman Steve Crisp, supplied all with the After Hours & Night Operations Standard Manual.

During discussions heavy emphases was placed on the importance of RESPONSE TIME. ●

WOMEN’S CRICKET,

HOWZAT!

BY ABBEY CANNAN he most intense sporting moments growing up in an Aussie household didn't take place in a big arena shown on TV, but in the backyard.

Balls, bats, wickets (that were often interchangeable with a green bin) would occupy all of the kids on the street (and the big kids) into a regular game of backyard cricket.

Fast runs, perfect catches, terrible throws from some (not naming names), and laughter that turned into frustration when one go-getter would hit a six over the neighbour's fence or onto the roof putting a stop to the match.

The game is an integral part of Australian history, which began largely as a male-dominated sport.

Australian women have always been enthusiastic spectators at cricket matches and soon proved themselves to be just as keen players of the sport.

And today, there is no stopping the women.

The Noosa Tewantin Cricket Club was formed in the early 1920's

T

and last year, a group of eager local women came together to create the Club's first women's team.

But why has it taken so long for a local women's team to form?

Team member Petrina McAulay said the success and publicity of the Australian Women's Cricket team within the last few years has done wonders for local cricket.

"There were no avenues before and not enough interest to get a competition running. It's just been a combination of more publicity and a number of start up grants so now any club that creates a women's team gets extra funding," Petrina said.

ACA sponsored team mentor and former Australian player Patsy Fayne said she is very proud of how well the current Australian Women's team have played over in England.

"Their fielding is a delight to watch and they're such good ambassadors. They are professionals - they add an excitement to the game. There is nothing more thrilling as a sports woman than walking out on to a sporting field wearing green and gold colours.

That's something that we can all

Thursday, 8 August, 2019

aim to achieve, especially these youngsters coming through. It's a pride," she said.

Patsy said the experience for the current international women's team would be totally different compared to when she played for Australia

from 1968 to 1976.

"These girls are professionals; they get paid a salary to play cricket.

We had to have a nine to five job, fundraise, and buy our own air ticket to England to represent our country," Patsy said. noosatoday.com.au

High fives all round. a great first season and we look forward to welcoming all of the new players in the new season."

Paula first started playing cricket in 1998 after her mum set up a women's cricket team at their local village in England.

"I'm encouraging more women to sign up because it's so much fun, you will get to meet new friends and be a part of a club. One of the reasons why it's such a great sport is because literally anyone can play," Paula said.

Patsy said it was fun teaching the new girls how to do the overarm action when bowling.

"Women invented the overarm action because they couldn't deliver the ball underarm because of the hooped skirts they wore in those days," Patsy said.

Team member Petrina grew up playing backyard cricket and went on to play vigoro in school, firstly just to get out of maths class.

"I continued playing and then moved to Sydney and got into the New South Wales team and played

a couple of Australian titles. I then had a 20-year hiatus and got back into it here in Noosa to meet people because I was new to the Coast," Petrina said.

"Hopefully our women's competition builds up into grades like the men's in the next few years because at the moment it's mixed abilities in the social grade."

"It is social but when you're out there on that field, you are in it to win it," Paula added.

Team member Rachel Martin also decided to give the sport a go last season to meet new people after recently moving to the area.

"I had never picked up a bat in my life and I actually didn't have much of an interest in cricket at all. When I went along to one of their 'come and try days' I was so nervous but it is honestly the best thing I have done in a long time," Rachel said.

"Last season was a lot of fun and I was helped out so much by the more experienced players and we were provided with all the gear we needed

and all the help we wanted. I must admit I'm still learning all the rules.

"I really have got more out of this then just a sporting team I have found an amazing community group and a wonderful new bunch of friends."

The women's social competition is played every fortnight on Sundays in a 20/20 format.

It takes a maximum of three hours to play so you still have the rest of the day to relax.

So, if you're interested in a fun team sport with friends, be sure to attend the following 'Come and Try' days for the next season.

The Tewantin Noosa Cricket women's Come and Try Days (14 years and up) will be held on Sundays 11/8, 25/8 and 8/9 from 2pm to 4pm at McKinnon Drive.

Sunshine Coast Cricket girl's skill development days (5 to 13 years) will be held on Mondays 19/8, 26/8, 2/9 and 9/9 from 4pm to 5.30pm at Read Park. â—?

12423486-DJ31-19

"It's been a long process to get women's cricket to where they are now. The big difference is the acceptance now. We put up with a lot of sexism and ridicule. But those days are gone now which is good.

Cricket has come a long way and we're hoping to make it grow further.

"The addition of the recent upgrade to the Noosa-Tewantin Cricket Club has been great. It will attract international teams to come and practice here.

"The support has been wonderful and I'm so thrilled that these girls have this team going."

Noosa-Tewantin Women's Cricket team member Paula McKie said that their two teams, Thunder and Lightning, did really well in their first season.

"For a lot of them it was their first time picking up a bat, or even knowing where to field or catching the bloody thing and we did so well," Paula said.

"Thanks to the support of the entire club we've been able to have

THE BOLTON REPORT

SANDY BOLTON, NOOSA MP

HOLDING THEM TO ACCOUNT Unfamiliar with Parliament’s Committee Estimate Hearings?

Their role is to provide an avenue to ‘hold Government to account’ by asking Ministers budget related questions. Exciting? Essential?

It depends who you ask! At the completion of Estimates 2018, I wrote to the Premier suggesting improvements to make the process more efficient and relevant from a grass roots aspect. Pleasingly this year we saw much better behaviour, some succinct and very relevant questions at all hearings, and we learnt much in a broad cross section of portfolios, policy and problems!

Were our questions answered to satisfaction? Yes, and no, as there can be Ministers answering with the ‘already knowns’, not specifically what was asked. However, even this gives opportunity after estimates to go back to the Ministers via letter with more background on the question which is not permitted during hearings due to rules surrounding ‘lengthy preambles’ and time allocations.

Our focus was unashamedly ‘Noosa centric’ but also included

the State’s AA rating and impacts with higher interest costs for State but also all Councils who borrow through Treasury. Urgent funding requests for Katie Rose Cottage, audits of surplus State Land and buildings to address our needs, gaps for providers within the NDIS, short term lets, rebranding of key pillar industry jobs, innovation for housing outcomes ... the list goes on. In response to our ongoing advocacy regarding 6 Mile, I feel the upcoming changes to this stretch will not be enough in the interim. I may have to pull out the ‘soapbox’ , which as you know is not my style, however safety comes first for our community, and this site is not safe.

A start date for Stage 1 of Beckmans/ Tewantin Bypass works, the Cooroy Noosa intersection roundabout, was not received, as Council and TMR are still refining the design and funding can’t be allocated until this is complete. The layers of process and finessing obviously will serve us well in the future, however for this MP who is always in a hurry, it is extremely frustrating.

With not enough space to relay the whole 2 weeks of 22 questions and responses, updates will be available via links we will post to Facebook, and within our newsletter at sandybolton.com In closing, what was the key takeout from this year? I will be writing to the Premier once again, and complimenting on improvements, as well suggestions how similar results could be achieved with much less cost to taxpayers. Considering a month of preparation by Departments, and residents’ views that the process is a drawn-out expensive form of standard Question Time complete with ‘Dorothy Dixons’, what is the answer? Suggestions have included

that equivalent outcomes could be achieved by members posing their questions in advance (which within Committees some are already done), and that Ministers could then be questioned on their answers within time constraints as in normal sittings. Estimates duration and resources could then be reduced, maybe 1 week instead of 2, and save Departments much time in preparation and attendance.

However regardless of how this process is viewed, the opportunity to ask multiple questions without notice is appreciated, as cross bench MP’s only receive an allocation of approximately 6 per year during Parliament sittings. As well, much more knowledge gained! Will I attend for the whole fortnight next year? The answer to that will be in the ‘after’ analysis, considering benefits versus time spent, and whether a similar result could be achieved via writing instead of attending?. As always, your thoughts are welcomed and appreciated via noosa@parliament.qld.gov.au.

Warmest regards, even when this winter seems very warm? ●

Noosa Rotary Club members hand over a donation to Volunteer Coast Guard Noosa Commander Ian Hutchings.

Skipper Patrick Odore, Senior Constable Justin Heinemann and Skipper David Wright of Volunteer Coast Guard Noosa.

DONATIONS KEEP NOOSA SAFE

BY ABBEY CANNAN Not only did the Noosa Volunteer Coast Guard recently receive a seized vessel from Noosa Heads Police, but also a donation of $6500 from the Noosa Rotary Club.

Noosa Rotary Club joined members of the Coast Guard for a social barbecue on Wednesday 31 July to celebrate their donation to the group.

Rotary member Tessa Alexandroff said that the money would go towards the Rotary Rescue Boat which has been sponsored by the Club for six years.

Coast Guard Commander Ian Hutchings said that the Coast Guard was grateful for the consistent contribution from the Rotary Club.

"This money will help keep us afloat and keep our building standing," Ian said.

The donated vessel by Noosa Police was seized in January during a search of a Cooroibah property by Noosa Heads detectives.

A 51-year-old Cooroibah male was charged with multiple offences of Possess Tainted Property and Receiving Tainted Property and was sentenced to five months

imprisonment, suspended for eighteen months.

Skipper Odore from the Noosa Volunteer Coast Guard said the vessel would be utilised for training operations by the Coast Guard.

Police regularly donate items of seized property to different not for profit organisations.

In recent months a seized mosquito fogging machine valued at over $3000 was donated to the Noosa Shire Council, hydroponics and lighting equipment utilised in drug production has been donated to local high school science

departments along with many bicycles being donated to various community groups.

All revenue received from the sale of seized items at auction goes into consolidated revenue for redistribution by the government.

Noosa Police have also destroyed dozens of seized firearms in recent months including semi-automatic pistols and high powered rifles.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars in drug exhibits have also been conveyed to Brisbane where they are destroyed in large industrial furnaces. ●

NOOSAVILLE WOMAN CHARGED WITH UNLAWFUL STALKING OF HER NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOURS Noosa Police have charged a 69-year-old Noosaville woman with two charges of unlawful stalking, after she allegedly stalked her next door neighbours, a husband and wife, over an extended period.

The stalking acts alleged include

photographing and videoing the victims within their yard, making unsubstantiated allegations to police, along with using profane and defamatory language towards the couple.

Police will allege that the stalking

occurred between 1 December 2008 and 28 February 2019.

Officers have undertaken a painstaking investigation over an eighteen month period which has resulted in these charges.

The woman is due to appear in

the Noosa Heads Magistrates Court on Tuesday 3 September. She was released on bail to have no contact with her neighbours along with a number of other witnesses that form part of the police brief of evidence. ●

LOCAL MAN SENTENCED AFTER DEFAMATION CASE A 67-year-old man has been sentenced to six months imprisonment, wholly suspended with a conviction recorded after being charged with criminal defamation.

Tinbeerwah man, Richard Sinclair appeared in the Noosa Magistrates court on Tuesday 30 July 8 NOOSA TODAY

|

after Noosa detectives charged him with criminal defamation for sharing false claims against his former sports club associate Dennis Burgess.

Richard pleaded guilty after distributing flyers throughout multiple homes in Tewantin falsely claiming his former sporting associate was a paedophile.

Thursday, 8 August, 2019

The flyer contained the name and address of the 70-year-old victim along with a number of false allegations about his alleged criminal history.

Richard is also required to pay a compensation fine of $1000.

Officer in Charge of Noosa Police Station, Senior Sergeant Ben Carroll,

said the victim and his family were devastated by the allegations shared amongst the tight-knit community.

"This should serve as a warning to others that police take offences like this very seriously and will prosecute over the sharing of defamatory and malicious information," Senior Sergeant Carroll said. ● noosatoday.com.au

START UPS ARE REFINED

BY MARGARET MACCOLL Sex, periods, domestic violence, suicide and alcohol are just some of the topics of "uncomfortable conversations" parents and teachers no longer need avoid with their children thanks to Tasha Lawton, who has devised an online education system to "normalise" them.

Called Talk Revolution, Tasha's business creates a video-based education tool that is already being used by parents and 75 schools across Australia.

The video content comprises young people discussing the uncomfortable issues so it not only breaks the ice in communications but is more readily accepted by their peers.

"It's by the kids for the kids - that makes it awesome," she said."If you're not having the uncomfortable conversations with your kids then who is?" she asks.

Tasha was one of 15 creative entrepreneurs who refined their business ideas and projects through a 10-week program with help from an array of mentors in a program called The Refinery. The initiative of the Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance, Sunshine Coast Council and SunCentral Maroochydore ended last Friday with the creatives pitching their business ideas at the Peregian Digital Hub. Among the diverse group of start-ups was the Wildlings Forest School. Set up by Nicki Farrell and Vicci Oliver the

Wildlings runs programs to enable children of school and pre-school age to enjoy adventurous play in nature. Another inventive idea was the development of a phone App which provides audio documentaries at GPS locations such as national parks. Called Georamble the project

about their environment from various experts. Shannon's pilot in a proposed series of documentaries is on Mt Coolum with the content delivered by University of the Sunshine Coast environmental scientist Dr Javier Leon.

Local mum and trek coach Lisa Marshall. terrain," she said.

"I felt like we were in Jurassic Park. I wasn't even sure I could do 32kms in a day, never mind half a day. It just didn't seem possible.

We ran and trekked the trail in 5.5 hours, but our journey was enriched by meeting people of all ages hiking the trail and getting out in nature."

Lisa said that she felt proud to be a Queenslander while exploring as every trail was so different to the next.

"Our beautiful State has so much to offer adventurers of every age.

With Noosa as home, we have three of these ten Great Walks almost on our doorstep, and I loved all of them: The Sunshine Coast Great Walk in the Noosa Hinterland, Fraser Island and The Gold Coast Great Walk," Lisa said.

In some cultures looking someone in the eye when speaking to them, giving someone the thumbs up or folding your arms in front of you would be considered very rude.

When Albertina Banks came to Australia as a refugee in 1967 from West Papua life was a culture shock for the 10-year-old Year 5 student who knew little English.

With a Dutch father and Indonesian mother the family fled West Papua almost two decades after Indonesia's independence from Dutch rule at a time of political unrest during which military leader Suharto took over the presidency from President Sukarno and tens of thousands lost their lives.

But coming to Australia was fraught with problems for her Indonesian mother as the White Australia policy barred immigration for many non-Europeans and it was eight months before she was granted asylum.

During Multicultural Queensland month in August Albertina, a teacher of 30 years and cultural consultant will be sharing stories of communication and cultural differences at Noosaville and Cooroy libraries through a series of free entertaining cultural awareness workshops.

Some phrases such as "could you take a seat" can be confusing for people whose first language is not English, she said. And behaviours can be interpreted differently in different countries. In many cultures, for example, seniors are treated with great respect but that is not the case here, she said. And in Sudan men are used to congregating in groups but here it is seen as a threat.

The two-hour workshops take place at Cooroy on 13 August and Noosaville on 14 August at 10am.

FAIR DAY FUN AT COLLEGE All the fun and excitement of a traditional fair is on offer at this year’s Shepherd’s Fair at Good Shepherd Lutheran College on Saturday 10 August.

The Shepherd’s Fair is a much anticipated event on the College’s calendar and i s an occasion where the College and the local community come together.

Good Shepherd has been holding the Shepherd’s Fair every year for almost 30 years, and over this time has gained a significant profile amongst local residents, businesses and the wider community.

With a combination of rides, games, stalls, raffles, Silent Auction and the fireworks finale - this year’s Fair will be sure to attract many visitors once again.

“There will be something for everyone at this year’s Fair - no matter the age - it’s a great day out for the whole family” said Mrs Karen von Homeyer, Co-ordinator of the Shepherd’s Fair.

“However, an event like this just would not be possible if it wasn’t for a very dedicated group of volunteers from the College parents and staff.

Fair Day Fun being enjoyed by students of Good Shepherd Lutheran College Noosaville on Saturday 10 August.

“Apart from the wonderful sense of community an event like this creates, it is also an invaluable fundraising exercise for the College, with all the funds raised going directly to providing additional facilities and resources for our students,” said Mrs von Homeyer.

The Shepherd’s Fair also relies heavily on the support of local businesses who donate goods and services to support the Fair including donations for the Silent

Auction and the raffle.

According to Mrs von Homeyer, this year the College has been overwhelmed by sponsorship support and she believes this really demonstrates the commitment of the local business community to support the younger generation.

The Shepherd’s Fair is open from 12 noon to 6pm and entry is free and unlimited ride passes are available on the day for $40 or individual rides for $5 (rides commence at 12 noon).

PARMA HELP For the month of August at the Cooroy RSL, every Parmy sold will have $2 go to AGFG to help support drought, fire and flood affected homes.

So buy a chicken parmy with chips and salad this month to support rural aid.

Cooroy RSL prides itself on providing affordable and delicious meals with a selection that caters for everyone. Regular daily specials in addition to our full menu are posted each day based on Chef 's inspiration and what is in season.

Daily for Lunch 12:00pm to 2:00pm Daily for Dinner 5:30pm to 8:00pm Lounge Snacks available from 10am Daily.

Behind the desk

BY DAVID GARWOOD

Ludicrous Legislation I had some nice comments about the previous article on “What does the law say?” This has prompted me to write this week about some of the stupid legislation that gets passed in Queensland. Usually well meaning, but nevertheless ineffective, unnecessary or both! Usually the bright idea of some ill-informed public servant or MP who wants to see their name in lights. One of the REIQ’s criticisms of legislation affecting our industry is the lack of consultation with working professionals.

My favourite is the Sustainability Declaration. New legislation introduced in Queensland on January 1 2010 required, by law, by amending the Building Act 1975 (Qld) and the Property Agents and Motor Dealers Act 2000 (Qld), all residential dwellings to have a sustainability declaration before they can be marketed, at risk of a fine of $4000. This statutory document had to be completed by the seller, or the seller could appoint a third party to complete the form (but not their agent).

The checklist identified the property’s environmental and social sustainability features in the four areas of energy, water, safety, and access. It was immediately reviled by sellers and the form went through 3 versions within 9 months responding to the criticism from the property industry and owners.

The first version put huge requirements on the seller to find obscure information - the requirements were scaled back over time, but the most stupid part was the requirement for access to the disclosure to be made up front – before a prospective purchaser could even inspect a property they had to be given a copy of the completed statement - I would stand at the door of open house and thrust a copy towards visitors – “I don’t want a copy of that“ was a common call. And as for sellers – as long as they signed it and even left it blank it was legal. I had several sellers who did that, or left blank the difficult bits.

The legislation died a quiet death by the introduction of the bizarrely named Treasury (Cost of Living) and other Legislation Amendment Act 2012 (Qld) in May 2012, heralded by the legal profession as reducing the red tape for property sellers.

Another one I love to hate is the Electronic Transactions QLD (2001) Act enacted in June 2001. A lot of you out there might not know this, but you are required to consent explicitly to receiving any legal documents by email or fax. So if you receive even a draft contract by email from an agent, he or she should have invited you to complete a consent form. To me, if you accept something which is sent to you electronically, that is implied or deemed consent.

Ah well, back to the legal drawing board..

LENSCAPE

EVERY BIT COUNTS

Michael Fayne receives the annual Amazing Vollie Award from president Elvie Johns at the 18th birthday of Parkyn's Hut, the Tewantin Heritage and Historical Society information Centre.

Housed in the old miners hut situated on the corner of Poinciana Ave in Tewantin, volunteers have been on duty there for the past 18 years helping visitors to the area navigate all the amazing adventures on offer here in the Noosa Region.

To volunteer call Davina on 0417 079 144. If you have a Lenscape email it to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au ● Volcanoes? No! Volcanoes produce about one per cent of the amount contributed by humans. This rate is about 100 times the historical rate of CO2 increase during warming periods.

One correspondent (Paul, who has no last name) has tinkered severely with statements by Bob Brown about windmills. He opposed a dam for hydroelectricity when it threatened to destroy an important natural formation on the Franklin River. He opposed the windmills on Robbins Island because they would be too much of a threat to known migratory paths of several birds. He did not say they were “loud” or “ugly” but did say they would be better placed some-

where else where the visual impact would be less.

Steve Hall, Cooroy

NOT ASKED In reply to Steve Anschutz, (NT 25/7). As you say Steve there is plenty of development in Cooroy and I don’t know one person who has objected to any of these developments. So the iconic playground naysayers are hardly trying to micro manage the town. However the motel site and the subdivisions you mention were Impact Assessable and the playground in Cooroy is Code Assessable.

As a consequence the locals have no avenue open to them to either

POLL RESULTS In our latest online poll we asked: Should Noosa Council have declared a climate emergency?

120 people voted and the results are: 37.5% Yes 62.5% No For this week’s poll, we are asking the community: Council is calling for tighter controls on commercial fishers.

Do you prefer locally caught when you buy your fish and chips?

To vote head to Noosa Today online and click on the Competitions tab.

It is claimed by some correspondents (Noosa Today, 25 July) that because Australia only produces 1.5 per cent of the world’s CO2, it is not worth us sacrificing our economy for what would amount to no significant contribution to solving the global warming problem. People who vote or who don’t litter already know how lots of people doing something positive can get results.

The total of all CO2 produced by nations producing about as much as we do is more than the top three polluters. If all these nations unilaterally decided to stop producing CO2, we could possibly avoid a catastrophic outcome. It is too late for Australia to be a leader in this as most other countries, including China, India and Japan, are already making the big decisions to develop renewable energy over fossil fuels, but we could be making our fair contribution. If only we had intelligent government who realised that our economy would boom if we embraced renewable energy.

One correspondent implies that since the atmosphere only contains about 0.04 per cent CO2 it couldn’t possibly make any difference. Let me remind him that .05 per cent of alcohol in his blood could cost him his driver's licence. As well, there are many poisons that can kill you in far lesser concentrations than .04 per cent.

It is significant to say that CO2 was only .03 per cent, or 300 parts per million, when I was born. In my lifetime, the amount has increased by more than 33 per cent. All of this was the result of burning fossil fuels.

object or support the project as they would under an Impact Assessable development application.

The only people to have a say are the community groups who speak only for their own members, not the community at large.

To my knowledge Steve, verified by council recently, there has not been a study on the impact of increased traffic on the two intersections when the playground is in place.

And the two intersections are State Government controlled and council does not have jurisdiction over them. But if you know of plans to fix the intersections, please let us all know them.

I voted for de-amalgamation so that we could have a more representative council and not be a backwater in a very large council.

I too voted for the very same council that you voted for Steve and I am essentially happy with their efforts to date.

But to simply believe that our collective elected representatives always make decisions for the greater good of the community is naive at best. It would be music to their ears to hear us all say that.

LOCAL MUM FIGHTS FRAUD Christie Franks graduated from USC with not just an outstanding academic record, but also a passionate plan to one day use technology to help refugees and stateless people settle into new countries.

The Sunshine Beach mother of four completed her Bachelor of International Studies with a GPA of 6.824 and is now using her computer clout to analyse cybercrime as a Cyber Security Analyst at national cyber support service IDCARE. But she hopes to eventually return to study and dig deeper into how governments around the world could use technology to assist refugees and stateless people in establishing their identities digitally, and she'd like to complete a PhD on the topic.

"If you were forced to flee your home country with nothing but your kids and what is in your pockets,

how do you identify yourself when you are trying to resettle in a new state?", Ms Franks said.

"Stateless people are not recognised anywhere. You can't get accommodation, education or employment without a verifiable identity. It also increases risk of further exploitation out of desperation to acquire the most basic needs for yourself and your family."

"You need identity verification and, if the international community could agree on a digital way to manage this, it would be possible to create a solution allowing countries to register and share identity information to expedite refugee settlement."

Ms Franks was attracted to the cause through volunteering in places that included post-earthquake Nepal and Cambodia during the course of her study.

Sunshine Beach resident Christie Franks.

Retirement 12424367-CG33-19

FOCUS ON …

She said studying with children wasn't always simple, but she found her way through by setting multiple alarms, prioritising study and working through the "noise and the chaos".

Ms Franks said while she plans to eventually return to study, she is enjoying crunching data at IDCARE, monitoring trends in cyber fraud as part of a broader support network for victims of identity theft and cybercrime.

"I've always been interested in criminology and law enforcement, and the importance of the work at IDCARE is supporting people who have been affected by identity theft or online criminal activity," she said. ●

Brooklyn Nine Nine

Good Girl Bad Girl

by Michael Robotham

Sunday 11 August

I may be late on the Podcast bandwagon but I finally caved and jumped on board. This Podcast is filled with interesting interviews with experts on the world's most fascinating, terrifying and mysterious crimes, hosted by Jessie Stephens. For those of you without the Podcast app on your phone, listen online at www.mamamia. com.au/podcasts/true-crime-conversations/. ●

Imperial Hotel Eumundi - Ryan Giles from 1pm-4pm

One of the funniest shows to hit TV in years, Brooklyn Nine-Nine stars Andy Samberg as an immature goofball who also happens to also be a brilliant NYPD detective. The squad includes overachiever Amy Santiago, tough-as-nails Rosa Diaz, sweetheart Charles Boyle and family man Sergeant Terry Jeffords played by Terry Crews. For a good laugh, watch the show on SBS or on streaming services such as Netflix. ●

Whether you're a beach reader, a travel reader or a serial bookclubber, if you love a good page turner its hard to deny the rising popularity of the psychological thriller.

Michael's latest novel will be launched in style on Saturday 17 August in Noosa. Readers will have the chance to meet the author and enjoy a 2 course Italian lunch at 250 Grammi food and wine bar on the Noosa River. For more information call (07) 5473 0483. ●

WHAT’S ON RELIVE THE MUSIC MAGIC

SPRING FESTIVAL SHINES ON THE MOUNTAIN Walk, stroll, climb or just relax, eat, drink and listen to the music at the Cooroy Mountain Spring Festival, the Rotary Club of Cooroy's major annual fundraiser on Sunday 18 August from 6.30am to 3pm.

Billy tea and damper and a hearty BBQ breakfast is a great way to start the day. Stroll through the rain forest walk or sit and enjoy the entertainment.

There is a bush poets corner, music by Pineapple Crush and a live broadcast by Noosa Community Radio

101.3FM. For those wanting a little exercise you can climb the mountain in an easy two hour return walk if you register to do so before 1pm or you could join in the hobby horse racing.

An added attraction this year is the Airbus Australia, the only mechanical musical DC-3 in the world, featuring a pipe organ, pianola and a mechanical button accordion. The rear end opens like a real cargo plane and you can hear music from the 1920's through to modern classic.

Cooroy Rotary will be raising

money to support local charities with the main beneficiary disability service provider Sunshine Butterflies.

President Warren O'Neill said the club was grateful to Cooroy Mountain Spring Water for providing access to the mountain and McDermott Helicopters who will provide short flights for $55 over the mountain and Cooroy.

For more information visit http:// www.cooroyrotary.org.au/index. php/cooroy-mountainspringfestival â—?

He touched the lives of audiences around the globe.

Glen released over 70 albums in a career that spanned five decades, selling over 45 million records worldwide, including twelve gold albums, four platinum albums, and one double-platinum album. â—?

LIFE OF BRINE

PHIL JARRATT

NAT’S NAT AND HE’S COMING He might be 71 and wearing a new knee, but surf legend Nat Young will be back in Noosa next month, hot to clock some points time while here to promote his new book, Church of the Open Sky. Back in the early days of the Noosa Festival of Surfing, the 1966 world champion was a regular celebrity guest, along with wife Ti and the family. While dad loved to display his unique style in the legends exhibitions, elder son Beau, who also racked up two world titles, was a perennial finalist and frequent winner in the pro division, and later on daughter Nava and younger son Bryce both enjoyed distinguished performances here.

Nat is sometimes painted as a controversial and polarising figure in Australian surfing - basically because he took no prisoners and never took a backward step, to throw a couple of cliches into the mix - but over the 45 years I've known him, I've found him to be talented, smart, funny, and immensely loyal to family and friends. All of which shines through in Church, easily his best book yet, and he's written a few.

I was particularly interested to read his account of his relationship with the late Midget Farrelly, one of surfing's greatest feuds that lasted almost half a century, and remained unresolved when Midget died too young a few years ago. I'd heard some of the stories from the man himself, but Nat has rarely written about this weird estrangement of our two greatest surfers of the 20th century.

It makes compelling reading, but so does most of this memoir. Nat and I shared many mutual friends who sadly are no longer with us, so I was fascinated to read his take on Bobby Brown, Miki Dora, Bob Evans and Donald Takayama, among others. But one area he touches on only lightly is the autumn and winter of 1966, when he, Bob McTavish and George Greenough turned the Noosa points into a research and development laboratory that ultimately led to the creation of a thin-railed board called "Sam" and Nat's winning of the world title in San Diego that September.

I'll be delving into that, and a whole lot more, when I join Nat for an "in conversation" session at the Noosa launch of Church of the Open Sky at the Land & Sea Brewery, from 6pm on September 12. Ticket information from Land & Sea and Annie's Books on Peregian.

And, on a sad note, there is not a reader nor a writer in the Noosa region who doesn't love Annie Grossman to pieces. She and her 24 NOOSA TODAY

As I write, the results are just through from the Vans Duct Tape Logger at the US Open, Huntington Beach.

Justin Quintal, winner of the Noosa Open last March, continued his roll through 2019 with another win, and young Hawaiian dynamo Kelis Kaleoppa took out the women’s. But why no Aussies in the mix this year, Mr Tudor? Photo shows Hawaii’s Honno Blomfield and Kirra Seale not taking it too seriously after taking out the minors in the final.

MAN OF MANY NAMES It took me forever to track down John York, mainly because he changes his name as often as his underwear, and currently lives in a wild place that Google Maps insists is best reached by navigating a jungle path that has subsided in the wet season, leaving only enough space for four wheels to pass if you are both cautious and courageous. Since I am neither, I quickly bolted out of the hired mini-bus and directed proceedings from the other side of the ravine. (Cameraman, wife and driver all made it safely to the other side, you will be relieved to hear.)

So here we are at last, an hour late but John York, currently known as Yohan Trombeta, is unfussed and calling welcomes from his room overlooking a lovely river in the centre of Bali. On my last two trips to Timor-Leste, the name Yohan kept coming up, this international man of mystery who had been such a giving mentor and inspiration to the young artists and musicians of that struggling country.

And at last we meet. And he looks and sounds like a younger Tom Wegener, full of enthusiasm and the joy of his crafts. Yohan is originally from Minnesota, so that might explain it. Whatever, I begin an instant bromance with this dude.

Recently out of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Yohan and a bunch of student troubadours were touring Australia in early 2000, performing circus cabaret gigs on

campuses and wherever they could.

In Melbourne and Darwin, they bonded with the pro-Timor-Leste movement, and decided on a whim that they would take their freewheeling act to Dili.

Yohan fell in love with the country, the culture and a local lady, formed the Teatro Bibi Bulak (Theatre of Crazy Goats) and mentored most of the kids who are now the art and rock gods of Timor.

All these years later he is still working with the best musicians in Timor-Leste, touring a free jazz concept called Timor Noise with Galaxy Band co-founder Etson Caminha through Australia and Europe over the past year, while based in Bali and helping out local experimental bands.

I spent too little time with Yohan last weekend, something I hope to change over the coming weeks. ● noosatoday.com.au

Four Sunshine Beach SLSC members took on the 52km World Paddleboard Championships, Molokai to Oahu in Hawaii last Sunday.

The race sees competitors exposed to the elements, the deepest of blue waters with incredibly strong currents, ripping tides and rising swells. In true Sunshine Beach style there were some amazing results.

Lachie Lansdown, their most experienced World Paddleboard Championship competitor finished an amazing 2nd Place in the Stock Board Division in a time of 4:45:23.

Lachie hit the lead with a few kilometres to go but got run down by the 5 times Australian Board Race Champion Matt Bevilacqua missing the win by 1:37.Max Smallman finished in an amazing 10th place in the Stock Board Division (7th in U29 Div) in 5:43:09 a huge result for Maxxy in his first attempt at the race and becomes one of the youngest men to ever cross the channel of bones at only 16 years old.

The Sunshine two-men team of Zion Pettigrove and Zac Brewer took out a well earned 2nd Place Stock Board Teams in 5:08:58 an amazing effort for these two. Unfortunately they just went down to a team with both open Australian Board Race medallists, so they were in excellent company.

"We are all super proud of these guys it was a tough gig to prepare for. Paddling and training throughout winter on the open ocean, in the worst and best conditions and being brave enough to take on the world's most challenging paddle race," Sunshine Beach SLSC spokesperson Pauline Gleeson said. ●

BETWEEN THE FLAGS

RON LANE

WHILE THE FLAGS ARE DOWN The flags may be down for the winter months but at the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club school training programs are still being conducted. Under the supervision of education manager Jonathon Donnelly and supported by nipper administrator Sacha Tapara-Beaton, students from Year 4 to Year 12 are undergoing courses in Surf Education. ''Basically,' said Donnelly, ''we first teach confidence in water; how to tread water, stay alive and use different type of surf craft. Then there is the second stage which is the Surf Rescue Certificate and third stage the Bronze Medallion.

Following this those wishing to take things further by joining the Nipper movement, will on 17-18 August at 11am have the opportunity to sign on as members. This will take place pool side, Good Sheperd College in Noosaville.''

"We have everything to offer our youth, fitness, Olympic pools, top coaches and a safe beach.

The surf club life, be it in Noosa or Sunshine Beach opens many avenues by teaching the importance of community responsibilities and friendship," said Sacha.

The role of the nippers in our lifesaving movement is of the utmost importance. At the recent Sunshine Coast Annual Awards of Excellence evening, Lilly Tindal of Noosa received the U18 Life Saver of the Year Award. Having come up through the Nipper ranks this young lady is a credit to both her club and family.

Last weekend a total of eight members, from Coolum Sunshine and Noosa clubs, completed their final assessment in IRB training with all gaining their Silver Medallion as IRB drivers. "With the ever increasing need for courtesy patrols to cover National Park and Alexandria Bay the ongoing training of IRB personal is of the utmost importance." said Trevor King, acting IRB captain. "With the constant big surf rolling in at A Bay good training surf is always available. This will ensure that those who successfully undergo their finals are fully competent." â—?

HOOK, LINE & SINKER

JACK MANGROVE

SNAPPER ON THE MENU AS NEW MOON KICKS IN The lead up to the new moon gave us next to no swell offshore and light winds. The Noosa bar however claimed another boat during the low tide so do not reply on any tracks older than a week or so as you could become stuck in the sand. Be sure you are compliant with up to date jackets, v-sheets, flair kits and EPIRB to be safe on the water North reef has been very popular with snapper very much on the menu. These fish have been taking everything from plastics, deep dropped baits and of course the classic pilchard floater on a gang hook. Other fish included pearlies, maori cod, tuskies and some medium sized cobia. Closer in, Sunshine Reef has sizable snapper, cobia, sweetlip, cobia and even coral trout. Paternoster rigs will always work well and if floating baits, be sure to use some bait wrap to help present your bait and keep it intact.

The Noosa River has been fishing well for bream, whiting, tailor, flathead trevally and queenfish.

Still the lower part of the river is noosatoday.com.au

Tyler Egan with a snapper. fishing better with the dog beach, frying pan, around Weyba Bridge and Woods Bays the favourites.

With the super clear water be sure to fish lighter 4-6lb lines and leaders, especially when lure fishing. Scents are a must for soft plastic anglers as is refining your technique so help trick those fish into biting. Be sure

to carry a landing net as big fish can and do get lost boat or bank side and keep the net out of the water until the last second. Mud crabs are still on the move as we have had some heavier evening showers and with the new moon behind us the tides will begin to slow.

Surf fishing has been, however

smaller tailor and standout bream are all along the coast, especially around the headlands of Noosa and Arkwright. Great options include the gutters and drop off along the river mouth and the north shore side of the frying pan. This area is changing a lot and new ground is getting exposed daily so pick the turn in the tide as the tides become weaker.

Freshwater has been fishing well in the consistent conditions and the winter bass are schooling in the main basin at Borumba and the deeper sections of MacDonald.

Anglers are reporting good catches on slow trolled spoons and heavy jigheads with 2-3 inch sized soft plastic curly tails slowly wound through the schooled up fish.

Saratoga are quieter as we approach their breeding season and if after one persistence will certainly pay off. As you approach be sure to do so with stealth as these fish are very timid this time of year.

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