Tackling violence

By Margie Maccoll

12497020-DL22-21

More than 500 domestic violence incidents were investigated by police in Noosa in the past year, an increase of 20 per cent from the previous year, Noosa police chief Ben Carroll said on Sunday.

Speaking at the Noosa Zonta Walk to End Violence, Acting Inspector Carroll said Noosa had a relatively low crime rate which visitors expected in such a beautiful place but, sadly, the same

couldn’t be said about domestic violence (DV).

Every day in Noosa there are an estimated 1.4 incidences of DV and the number of breaches of DV orders has increased 46 per cent in the past year.

Inspector Carroll said police attributed some of the increase to the impact of Covid, saying it had placed considerable pressure on the psyche of people, on families and businesses.

“We are working hard to bring the numbers

down but we can’t do it on our own,“ he said.

“We will never police ourselves out of domestic violence.“ Inspector Carroll praised organisations such as Zonta for saying a resounding no to violence against women and was honoured to be part of their event.

Noosa Zonta president Margie Fisher described violence against women as one of the most pervasive forms of violence as it took place predominantly at home, affected mil-

lions of women worldwide, and prevented them from contributing to their communities and creating better lives for themselves.

Ms Fisher said since 2012 Zonta clubs around the world had united to advocate to stop violence against women. As part of their efforts, Zonta had raised funds for health care and education for women in various countries in a bid to improved the lives of women and create a more stable society.

On the 40th anniversary of the HIV/ AIDS virus this week, scientists spoke about the benefits of the research to the Covid response.

Despite the decades of research and the development of drugs to manage HIV there have only been about one per cent of people infected by the virus, that was initially considered a death sentence, who can say they are cured.

However, much of the research on HIV has been translated into the Covid response.

A recent article in The Lancet talked about the technologies developed for HIV such as rapid testing and strategies to isolate and manufacture antibodies that had been applied to Covid vaccine trials.

Scientists report the mRNA vaccine technology used to fight Covid, started 20 years ago in the search for antibodies for HIV. Many of the rapid diagnostic tests developed for Covid were pioneered for HIV. For many scientists who have worked on HIV, the research into Covid has felt like a deja vu situation.

Those people who lived through the 1980s and ‘90s infected with HIV were subject to a very stigmatised existence, but what has come out of it is that they have learnt to exist and thrive with a virus that doesn’t discriminate on who it infects.

As the focus on Covid has slowed research on HIV, the advances being achieved in Covid could be harnessed for both HIV and Covid.

The advances of the past 40 years means there is a lot of hope for the future.

The science needed to find a cure for Covid could be immensely complicated but what HIV has shown is that scientists don’t give up.

Residents line the street to enjoy the Christmas Convoy in Noosa.

Convoy joy

The Noosa River has maintained its A-minus quality score in this year’s Healthy Land and Water Report Card, despite a fall in other regional catchment scores.

River still healthy The Noosa River has maintained its A-minus quality score in this year’s Healthy Land and Water Report Card, despite a fall in other regional catchment scores.

Noosa Council has welcomed the latest findings.

Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie said Noosa River had not seen the drop in water quality many other south-east Queensland waterways had experienced in the past year.

“It’s great to see our river and connecting creeks remain healthy, due in a large part to extensive stream bank vegetation, and that our community has such a strong connection to the river and their local creeks,” Cr Wilkie said.

“Holding a steady A-minus river rating while others fall follows extensive erosioncontrol work with Landcare in the Kin Kin catchment and consistent efforts by the Noosa Integrated Catchment Association.

“In the face of increasing population and climate pressure, constant work is needed to maintain and hopefully improve the health of the Noosa River into the future.”

Healthy Land and Water chief executive officer Julie McLellan said Noosa’s waterway

benefit rating held strong at 4.5 stars, reflecting the high number of residents satisfied with the waterways.

“Excellent catchment condition results in extremely high numbers of residents - 86 per cent - who are satisfied with their local waterways, and extremely high levels of personal benefits local residents gain from using their waterways - 81 per cent compared to 58 per cent for all of South East Queensland,” she said.

“40 per cent of Noosa Shire residents recreate in or alongside their local waterways at least daily, among the highest within South East Queensland.”

The Report Card noted Noosa’s freshwater creeks were in excellent health, with a slight improvement in aquatic insect health at Ringtail Creek.

Stream bank vegetation in the catchment is still excellent (89 per cent cover), as is wetland extent (88 per cent cover) in the freshwater reaches.

“The extent of wetland habitat in the estuary also remains excellent with 90 per cent of mangroves and saltmarshes remaining,” McLellan said.

“Higher levels of stream bank vegetation and estuarine habitat supports valuable commercial and recreational fisheries and stops erosion of sediments into the waterways.”

Healthy Land and Water’s Ecosystem Health Monitoring Program (EHMP) is regarded as one of the most comprehensive waterway monitoring programs in Australia.

Now in its 21st year, it delivers an annual regional assessment of the environmental condition and benefits of waterways for South East Queensland catchments.

Council’s acting environmental services manager Shaun Walsh said Noosa Council was pleased to support programs that helped maintain the health of Noosa’s waterways, including the Keep It In Kin Kin project, in partnership with Noosa and District Landcare, which aims to reduce rural sediment runoff.

“Council is also pleased to fund the River Ranger program, in partnership with the Noosa Integrated Catchment Association, which provides ongoing environmental monitoring and surveillance for the Noosa River,” Mr Walsh said.

The vehicles are polished and Santa is locked in as Noosa prepares for some Christmas cheer with the Connecting Noosa Christmas convoy this December.

Due to the success of last year’s inaugural convoy, Noosa Councillors have given the green light for it to return from Monday 6 December to Thursday 9 December.

Mayor Clare Stewart said last year’s event was simply superb.

“It was wonderful to see the smiling faces and unbridled joy, so we’re thrilled to have it return across the shire,” she said.

“Some additional streets have been added to try and reach as much of the shire as possible,” Cr Stewart said.

Community development manager Alison Hamblin said the route on dDay three had been extended to include parts of Noosaville.

“After reviewing the routes and based on feedback, the convoy will drive down Gympie Terrace and make a stop at the Noosa Boat Ramp on Wednesday afternoon,” she said.

The convoy starts in Boreen Point and Cooroibah on Monday night 6 December and moves to Kin Kin, Cooran, Pomona and Cooroy on Tuesday. It travels through parts of Tewantin and Noosaville on Wednesday 8 December and concludes on Thursday 9 December with visits to the beachside suburbs of Peregian, Castaways and Sunrise Beach and Hastings Street.

Noosa Police Acting Inspector Ben Carroll said all emergency services were excited to be back onboard.

“It’s a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas with the community and allows residents to thank the work of the emergency service personnel,” he said.

With Covid restrictions easing, the convoy will stop at a number of locations on each day to allow youngsters to catch up with Santa and check out the vehicles.

Maps of the routes are available on Council’s website and will be promoted via Council’s social media channels and HOT91.

The convoy is an initiative of Noosa Council, supported by the local emergency services, HOT91 and Madill Motor Group.

Tourism forum engages Tourism Noosa responded to uncertainty and nervousness in the local tourism industry by hosting an Industry Thought Leadership Forum on Tuesday 23 November.

With the countdown on to Christmas holidays, many operators are struggling with a lack of staff, a housing crisis causing impediments to attracting staff to the region, the reality of opening our borders but also potentially letting Covid-19 in, a lack of information from government in regard to mandating vaccinated staff, how to manage a business with a Covid outbreak, and potential legal implications that will be forced on businesses.

The culmination of these factors is impacting businesses across Queensland and there are no easy answers.

The aim of the forum was for operators in the tourism industry to gain insight from industry leaders on how they are preparing for when the borders open.

The industry leaders included Kate McCreery-Carr, general manager operations Sunshine Coast Airport; Sue Willis, managing dDirector Niche Luxury Accommodation; Mark Wilkinson, general manager Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort; Brett Kapernick, deputy chief executive officer Queensland Tourism Industry Council; Quentin Long, managing director Australian Traveller; and Rio Capurso, Locale Noosa.

The key points of discussion from the industry leaders included the issue of staff shortages, legalities around vaccine mandates for staff and visitors, the processes and procedures of letting people enter from hotspots, insurance costs and issues, an update on the roadmap and an insight into the new ‘normal’.

Sue Willis, one of the speakers at the forum, has responded saying, “A big thank you to the Tourism Noosa team for facilitating important conversation amongst industry leaders in Noosa as we all prepare our businesses for the Queensland border opening on December 17.

“It is vital that we work together to ensure

In response to the business uncertainty and nervousness, Tourism Noosa held an Industry Thought Leadership Forum on Tuesday 23 November. the Noosa brand is protected during such trying operating circumstances.

“To know we are all supporting each other, sharing important information and industry knowledge will be key as we continue to navigate business in a pandemic.”

While the roadmap to 17 December and beyond is still unclear, industry leaders provided a few tips for businesses to consider.

Rio Capurso spoke about the issue of staff shortages in the hospitality industry and suggested businesses utilise eager school students and train them up as staff members.

Sue Willis discussed the lack of residential housing available, which is preventing workers from moving to Noosa.

While she said she had no real long-term answers, she was currently housing cleaning

staff in a refurbished share house with affordable rent.

Brett Kapernick strongly encouraged businesses to seek legal advice for areas where government mandates were not clear and to ensure all terms and conditions for all that businesses offer were well defined from start to finish of a service.

Finola Thompson from Coral Beach Noosa Resort said, “It was a great to get so many of the Noosa businesses together to talk about their concerns as we head into the holiday season.

“Covid has created a challenging environment for all of us and we rarely get together to share our knowledge and discuss what can be done to mitigate the risks. Thank you to Tourism Noosa for organising this initiative.“ A further discussion was sparked among

attendees and industry leaders considering some of the more unclear aspects of the government roadmap.

The following frequently asked questions has been sourced from covid19.qld.gov.au Can the owner of an essential business decide not to permit entry to unvaccinated patrons or staff?

Essential businesses can self-impose rules for patrons and can decide to refuse entry to unvaccinated patrons. In relation to staff, business owners are encouraged to seek their own legal advice. The Fair Work Ombudsman has released detailed advice for employers about mandating vaccination of workers. This information can be found at Coronavirus and Australian workplace laws.

Will business be shut down if they are exposure sites? Will close contacts still have to quarantine for 14 days?

When a contact tracing alert is issued, a venue may have to close for cleaning, and some staff may need to quarantine, but once that cleaning is complete, they are able to re-open. A Public Health Unit will undertake a risk assessment to determine what level of local response is required. If a business is open and trading, it is safe to visit.

Fair Work states employers cannot ask/force employees to vaccinate. What remedial action can employers take if employees refuse to vaccinate?

The Fair Work Ombudsman has released detailed advice for employers about mandating vaccination of workers. This information can be found at Coronavirus and Australian workplace laws. Business owners are encouraged to seek their own legal advice.

While many questions still remain unanswered until the Queensland Government’s public health directives are finalised, the forum heard thought-provoking discussion, sharing of ideas and helpful information.

Covid vax rules bring division to Noosa community In two weeks on 17 December the Queensland Government will introduce Covid19 restrictions for vaccinated and unvaccinated that will have a mixed impact on the community.

Many businesses and venues will be able to return to operating at full capacity. However, there will be restrictions on people who are not fully vaccinated.

When asked about the changed restrictions most Noosa businesses said they would be following the direction set by the government with the impact largely unknown.

Noosa Arts Theatre office manager Melissa Long said they’d already refunded a ticket for an unvaccinated customer but

didn’t know how it would affect sales generally. She said with their next show not until January, the volunteer-run committee would have time to meet to discuss changes required to meet the restrictions.

A Canteen Cafe Noosa spokeswoman said all their staff were vaccinated and they would just do the best they can.

“It is what it is. Who knows what it will be like on the 17th. There may be people scared to come out.”

A Mary Street Wellness spokeswoman said all their staff had been vaccinated but they had not been advised as to whether clients needed to be vaccinated. She said being two weeks away the restrictions may change.

At Gregson and Weight funerals, a spokes-

man said they would follow any mandate set by the government but for a funeral they would welcome anyone through the door.

“I don’t know how you would police that,” he said.

Under the new restrictions from 17 December there will be no capacity restrictions on businesses that are permitted to allow only fully vaccinated people to attend.

These include hotels, pubs, nightclubs, restaurants, cafes, theatres, sporting stadiums, theme parks, festivals, galleries, museums and libraries and tourism excursions.

Unvaccinated people will not be able to visit these places including hospitals except for medical treatment and end-of-life visits, aged care facilities, disability accommoda-

tion services and prisons.

Funerals will not be limited to only vaccinated people but there will be caps on attendees depending on density. Weddings with unvaccinated people will be restricted to a maximum of 20 people.

Unvaccinated people will still be able to go to grocery stores, pharmacies, post offices, newsagents, clothing stores and go to the gym for exercise but capacity restrictions may apply. People will still need to check in to venues.

According to the Queensland Government website, the changes have been brought in to ensure the hospital system is not overwhelmed when border restrictions are eased.

Freedom call from O’Brien

By Arthur Gorrie Freedom is a right in a free country, not a reward the government can give to obedient citizens, Gympie’s federal MP Llew O’Brien said this week.

Mr O’Brien emphasised he was pro-vaccination as far as his health was concerned, but said he was worried about small businesses and their workers, especially in hospitality and tourism.

And he called for an end to discrimination against those with a different view.

His call echoed concerns, not only from intentionally unvaccinated people, but from some of their employers, especially in the region’s hard-pressed hospitality industry, with unvaccinated staff no longer allowed to work.

“Vaccination is the most important protection measure we have against the health, social and economic implications of further Covid-19 outbreaks,“ he said.

“I chose to receive the vaccine, as did my family, and while I encourage everyone who is able to be vaccinated to receive the vaccine, I also support every person’s right to make their own medical choices that are right for them.“ “The restrictions being imposed by Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk place an unfair and prohibitive burden on businesses.

“Throughout this pandemic, the Queensland government has seized our freedom.

“Now that some restrictions are easing for some people, the Queensland Government expects us to be grateful for the return of some of those freedoms.

“Our freedom isn’t a reward. Our freedom is our right.

“The Queensland Government has given itself unprecedented powers and it is now over-

reaching,“ he said.

Government employment prohibitions would create a divided state with the government “thrusting its sweeping powers of intrusion into where we can go, who we can see, and where we can work, for as long as it can.

“Cafes, restaurants and hospitality venues in Wide Bay have been pushed to the brink by nearly two years of lockdowns and closed borders, and should have been able to look forward to increased trade this Christmas.

“I have received phone calls from business owners in despair about what these restrictions mean for them, their staff, and their livelihoods “Our local cafes, restaurants, pubs and clubs face the unfair double-whammy of enforcing these restrictions and the losses incurred from refusing service to paying customers – and worse, the heartbreak of having to sack capable and hardworking unvaccinated staff members.

“Small business owners aren’t police, they aren’t public health officials - but the Queensland Government expects them to be the front line enforcers of its coercive vaccine push.

“Business owners can’t afford to lose staff, nor should they have to put on additional team members to dictate who can spend money at their venue.

“The government is shifting the responsibility and financial pressure onto business owners and their staff.

“If Premier Palaszczuk fears hospitals will be overwhelmed, she should have prioritised spending on health services long before now.

“Queensland has received an adequate supply of vaccines to ensure everyone who wants a jab could have received one by now.

“It’s time to lift the restrictions and give our freedom back to us.

Schoolies enjoyed Noosa

By Margie Maccoll Schoolies wrapped up last weekend without incident and with school leavers saying they’d had an enjoyable week.

On Friday night school leavers on Hastings Street spoke about a week spent going to the beach, taking hikes in the bush and just hanging out with each other.

The students travelled to Noosa from the Gold Coast, Redlands, Brisbane and surrounding areas, choosing Noosa as a destination for a range of reasons.

A group who had spent a week at the Gold Coast came for their final weekend at Noosa because it was “a good spot”.

Another group chose Noosa because of its “chilled” environment. “People organise things themselves,” they said.

“We thought Noosa would be a safe place,“ another group said.

Red Frogs Australia members said about 500 schoolies registered in Noosa. The support network said schoolies gathered on Main Beach in the evenings but were generally back to their accommodation places by 10pm.

“No one was being silly or annoying,” they said.

“When the beach started to die down we’d go to the hotels and cook pancakes. We had a few calls for kids who had had too much to drink to make some pancakes.”

Court ruling ‘tough’ Noosa Council is disappointed in the decision in the Planning and Environment Court where it was unable to stop quarry truck movements during school bus hours on the Pomona Kin Kin Road.

Council’s application to the Planning and Environment Court for interim enforcement orders against quarry operator Cordwell Resources was heard on 12 November 2021, with the judgment delivered today by His Honour Judge Long SC. Judge Long SC told the court he would forward an analysis for his reasons to the two par-

ties in coming days.

Mayor Clare Stewart said while disappointed with the outcome, Council accepted the decision by Judge Long.

“It’s extremely tough for the community and council to hear the judgment, but we must accept the umpire’s decision,” she said.

“But it should be noted that this is not the final step in Council’s enforcement action and we will continue to stand with the community.”

Council will now progress its application to the Planning and Environment Court seeking full enforcement orders centred on alleged

breaches by the quarry operator and seek to address the intensification of use issues.

Acting chief executive officer Larry Sengstock said Council remained committed to the court action.

“Final enforcement orders will be sought requiring the operators to limit the number of quarry trucks per day, avoid convoying and ensure movements are within the operating hours, with all truck loads covered,” Mr Sengstock said.

The final hearing will take place over three days from the 2 to 4 March 2022.

Five assaults in Noosa within 20 minutes Two die in tragic crash

Police are appealing for public assistance to help identify two men believed to be responsible for multiple incidents early Sunday morning in Noosa Heads.

At 2am on November 21, the two men arrived at the Lions Park carpark on Noosa Parade in a utility.

They exited the vehicle before becoming involved in five separate assaults within a 20-minute period.

As a result of one of the assaults, a 20-yearold man sustained a broken jaw, while the rear window of a ride sharing vehicle was also shattered.

The registration of the utility was not visible, but the vehicle is described as having a yellow flashing light on the roof, an awning and distinctive long toolboxes in the tray.

Anyone who recognises the men or the vehicle depicted in the vision is asked to contact police.

Investigations are ongoing.

Police are investigating a traffic crash at Buderim on Tuesday 23 November afternoon in which two people died.

Early investigations indicate a black Mazda sedan was travelling west on Lindsay Road when, shortly after 5.30pm, it left the road and collided with a tree.

The driver, a 21-year-old Buderim man and his 19-year-old Narangba passenger died at the scene.

Investigators are asking for anyone that may have seen the vehicle, or anyone with relevant dash cam to contact police.

Anyone who recognises the men is asked to contact police.

It’s a community concern

By Ron Lane

Tomas Passeggi.

12526186-SN49-21

To say that it is a massive community concern would have to be the understatement of the year. I along with a lot of other Australians feel that it is definitely now time for us to speak up louder than ever. And well you may ask, what exactly is this subject of massive concern? The answer is explained in one word – suicide.

In what would have to be a great example of what’s on the other side of the coin, the Cooroy Impact Boxing and Fitness Club hung up their gloves, donated their time and premises on Saturday morning in a massive show of support for an organisation known as Safe TALK. Guest speaker Tomas Passeggi, a social worker with five years’ training and experience, and presently working with people with problems stated, “Not talking about it (suicide) has not worked, so let’s try something different. We have noticed that people are starting to become more aware and are now starting to talk.”

In the past open talk has been severely restricted by stigma but now that stigma must be removed.

The goal of this organisation is to make people conscious of suicide prevention, something that is of grave importance not only in our community, but also throughout the country, and sadly, it is not restricted to the older generation- but also now the very young.

The name Safe TALK has an interesting context.

The word Safe is self-explanatory, however, the word TALK in capital letters and taking each letter separately, conveys a message of the utmost importance. The letter T stands for Tell, the A stands for Ask, L stands for Listen and the K for keep safe.

Tell - as clearly and directly as possible.

Ask- Are you thinking about suicide?

Listen - let’s talk about this. I am listening.

This is important.

Keep safe - We need extra help. I want to connect you with someone who can help you keep safe.

The message that came through loud and clear was the necessity for good communication, knowing not only how to speak but, above all, how to convey your message of sincerity and genuine help.

Also, that vital factor of follow -up. This you can do by contacting some of the following - bearing in mind at all times that you’re not alone.

In our region there is the Pomona Community House, 1 Memorial Ave, Pomona 4568, ph 5485 2427 and Nambour Community Centre, 2 Shearer Street Nambour 4560, ph 5441 4724.

In case of emergency, Kids Helpline 1800 551 800, Men’s Helpline 1800 551 800, Lifeline 13 11 14 and QLife 3pm till midnight,1800 184 527.

In a Communities Matter fact sheet it states: There are many people who can help. Most important are the people “there,’’ including family and friends. We can all be part of creating a suicide safe community.

In his opening address to the meeting, organiser Ben Burns said, “It is time to bring suicide out of the shadows.’’

Butterfly Bree’s plea

Grants for new bushfire recovery projects in Noosa Noosa’s precious native flora and fauna will be supported to recover from the Black Summer bushfires, with Noosa and District Landcare Group to receive $165,768 for three priority projects.

Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien said Noosa communities would share in $490,273 as part of a $14 million Federal Government commitment investing in regions severely impacted by the Black Summer bushfires.

Noosa Landcare will receive $51,451 to carry out weed management and revegetation at Peregian Beach; $49,889 for weed management and corridor revegetation at Cooroibah and Noosa North Shore; and $64,428 for assessing and improving gGlider habitat, including a trial of scat detection dogs and installation up to 50 nest boxes to support the recovery of the species.

“Noosa Landcare does a fantastic job to protect the unspoiled natural environment that Noosa is famous for, and these grants will help support their work so that it remains pristine for generations to come,” Mr O’Brien said.

In addition, Noosa’s bushfire-affected areas will be monitored in a project by the Queensland University of Technology, using drones to detect koalas and other wildlife, in a further $324,505 investment to aid in the recovery of native wildlife and habitat.

“These new projects in will not only directly support native species’ recovery, but also provide benefit for bushfire-affected communities and landholders,” Mr O’Brien said.

Minister for the Environment Sussan Ley said Landcare Australia and the National Landcare Network were coordinating

Sunshine Butterflies volunteer Bree Johnson last week presented a petition of 640 signatures and letters of support to Noosa Council and made an emotional and heartfelt plea to acting chief executive officer Larry Sengstock to get behind the building of a bike and walking path from Tewantin to Lake Cooroibah.

“Our question is, what more do we need to provide to further substantiate our case?” she asked.

Bree, who is disabled and can’t drive, cycles or rides a scooter to work every day along that route, so she is committed to the cause. So is fellow Sunshine Butterfly Lucy Mills, and the two women have worked tirelessly to turn council around on this issue.

Bree said the extended path would greatly benefit the surrounding communities including Cooroibah and Tewantin, and of course the Sunshine Butterflies School. Sunshine Butterflies supports over 150 people living with disability in the Noosa Shire, employs more than 100 staff and has a team of dedicated volunteers.

Bree and Lucy have found a strong ally in Cr Amelia Lorentson who told Noosa Today: “When I met Bree a few months ago, I knew she meant business. She and Lucy are making it their mission to get council to take notice. I have never seen a woman more determined and brave!“ Mr Sengstock told Bree council would reassess its priorities to deliver the project for the community when it had more available funds in the future.

“Our unique native plants and animals are already benefitting thanks to the onthe-ground efforts from Landcare and other community groups, but there is still work to be done,” Minister Ley said.

“These new projects will build on the broad range of recovery activities already being carried out by Landcare and other community groups in the wake of the fires.”

$2m boost for Wishlist Local philanthropists Roy and Nola Thompson have answered the call of one of the Sunshine Coast’s leading charities to donate $2 million to open an Australian-first facility in Birtinya.

Wishlist has announced Mr and Mrs Thompson have donated $2 million towards Wishlist Centre – Australia’s first facility to provide affordable patient accommodation, primary healthcare and complementary therapies under one roof.

Currently under construction opposite the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH), services to be offered within the four-level Centre struck a chord with the Thompsons.

“We were particularly inspired by the adolescent and young adult support Wishlist Centre will provide,” Mr Thompson said.

“These are our young people and our families – the future of Australia. I believe we all have a role to play in providing a solution to a growing problem so Nola and I are proud to give to a project that will help to keep our kids out of hospitals.”

Wishlist chief executive officer Lisa Rowe said the donation came as Wishlist began their virtual brick appeal to raise an additional $2 million by 2022 to make Wishlist Centre all it must be for patients and families.

“It was the most surreal day when I sat down with Roy and one of our Mental Health clinicians Dr Rachael Taylor to talk about the growing issue we have on the Sunshine Coast with youth mental health, and how Wishlist Centre will be providing a space for vital support services and programs,” Ms Rowe said.

“Roy and Nola have answered the call and thanks to their $2 million gift to Wishlist Centre, we are now able to focus on furnishing and providing finishing touches to the Centre, and our $1.9m commitment to support families in our local hospitals this year.

“We are extremely grateful to Roy and Nola for helping us achieve our ambitious target of raising $2 million by 2022 and our vision to

Rachel Taylor, Lisa and Nola and Roy Thompson with the donation cheque. enhance public healthcare on the Sunshine Coast for countless patients and families.”

When open next year, Wishlist Centre will support patients and their families requiring ongoing treatment at SCUH. In addition to 18 patient accommodation rooms, Wishlist Centre will provide cancer support services, a low

or no-cost GP service, youth mental health programs and more.

The Thompsons will be recognised in stage one of Wishlist Centre with the building named after the philanthropic couple.

Locals and businesses can still support

Wishlist by donating a virtual brick this Christmas and forever be acknowledged within Wishlist Centre. Each virtual brick is valued at $20 and is tax-deductible.

Felicia celebrates 100

By Margie Maccoll Tewantin was a small town where everyone knew each other and doors were left wide open when Felicia Broadhurst, a 20-year-old bride and her husband George moved to the town 80 years ago.

Last Friday 26 November Felicia celebrated her 100th birthday with extended family including her remaining sibling, sister, Delphine, 92, her son, Robert, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Sharp as a tack and steady on her feet, though these days a walker provides a safety net, Felicia looks decades younger than her years.

“They say it’s in the genes, but I’ve never worn a pair in my life,” she jokes.

After her birth in Brisbane, just three years after WWI Felicia’s parents William and Cadelia (Delia) moved to a dairy farm at Traveston.

Felicia was never a fan of dairy life but, as the eldest of five, loved her role helping out with her younger siblings.

Her job became more important when she was just 12 and her mother died from a ruptured appendix. A year later, with her aunts helping with the younger children, Felicia began working as a live-in nanny.

Then at the age of 17, a friend was working at Cooroy Hotel as a cook and suggested she apply as well and enjoy a more social life. Felicia started working as a waitress and, as fate would have it, met the man of her dreams, a true gentleman, George Beal.

“He happened to be a boarder. He was working as a butcher,” she said.

“We went to dances. We used to have good times. A group of us used to go walking. There wasn’t the entertainment then.

Felicia was 20 when she married George and they rented a small house in Tewantin which is now a carpark for the Atrium shopping arcade.

“I had a wonderful husband. Everybody liked him,” Felicia said.

World War II had broken out and soon after they wed and George was called up for national service. He was posted to Darwin which was under bomb attack at the time. On his return his boss requested the butcher be discharged from the services to resume his work, considered an essential service.

Felicia said in the early years of their marriage Tewantin had “the most beautiful dance hall” and she was a dancer, but their dance events, including competition, were not constrained to Tewantin.

“We used to go to dances all over,” she said.

In the 1950s Felicia learnt square dancing and competed.

“George pushed me to go,” she said. “He looked after the children. A group used to come over to our place to practise. We’d win all the competitions.”

In 1946 George and Felicia bought a half acre of land near the Tewantin primary school and in 1949 built a two-bedroom Queenslander.

Felicia said the family never had money to spare but what meant the most to them was looking after everybody else.

Felicia and her extended family.

Felicia and Robert on the Noosa River.

She and George had one son, Robert, born in Cooroy hospital in 1950 but they also helped her sisters, and her nephews became like brothers for Robert.

“I was more the mother-type. I looked after everybody,” she said. “The house was always full.”

In 1954 Felicia’s father died in a work accident at a sawmill in Cooran when a cable, holding a large tree trunk that was being milled, snapped, sending the the tree crashing into him.

Robert said one of his cousins was meant to be doing the job at the time but his father had taken the responsibility over from him. Robert was four-years-old at the time.

Felicia was married to George for 37 years before he passed away.

Five years later she married again. Her second husband developed Parkinsons disease

Felicia receives birthday wishes from Queen Elizabeth II and had to go into a nursing home.

Felicia still lives in Tewantin in her own home just a couple of streets from that original half acre block and house which is now home to her son Robert.

The house was full of family and warmth when I dropped by last Friday.

Felicia received numerous birthday messages for her birthday, including one from the Queen, and a visit from Noosa MP Sandy Bolton.

The family enjoyed a birthday party on the weekend attended by 100 guests.

The black forest birthday cake was homemade by Delphine’s son in-law Andre Stössel.

Felicia was the last to go home at midnight after spending a relaxing evening with family, reminiscing of days gone by and just having a laugh.

Felicia was born in 1921.

Keith returns to the skies Arcare Peregian Springs team was delighted to organise a flight in a Cessna 182 for 80-yearold resident Keith Clarke.

Keith hung up his wings nearly 30 years ago and now he was given the opportunity to captain again.

“I am honoured to be doing this for Keith as a fellow aviator.“ Arcare Peregian Springs’ lifestyle coordinator Diane Tyler, was a big part of making Keith’s dream a reality.

“Reliving his flying days has always been his dream and it is such an exciting opportunity for him to have another chance to get into the air,“ Diane said.

Keith was an officer and pilot in the Rhodesia air-force who then became a pilot and second officer for Qantas for 30 years.

On Saturday 27 November the Arcare Peregian Springs team was delighted to have organised a flight in a Cessna 182 for an 80-year-old resident Keith Clarke.

Keith was an officer and pilot in the Rhodesian airforce who then became a pilot and second officer for Qantas for 30 years.

He retired at the age of 55 and bought a replica of the airplane he had trained on in the Rhodesian air force. In 1990, Keith flew in the London to Sydney Air Rally.

When asked about how he felt given the opportunity to be back in a plane again, Keith said, “To have a chance of going up in the air again, it will be fantastic. I absolutely miss flying.”

He hung up his wings nearly 30 years ago and now he was given the opportunity to captain again.

He said just before that flight that “this is fantastic, I’m being given the opportunity to experience something that was a massive part of my life over again!” and “It was life, life to me.”

Joining Keith in his amazing experience were his wife, his children Cameron, Alice and Peter who is also a trained pilot, and his grandchildren.

“It is very inspiring for Keith to have had the opportunity from Arcare to be in the air again and to also have his family present,“ Peter said.

“It was a very special experience sharing this with Dad.“ The pilot leading the experience with Keith is Sunshine Coast local, George Palmer, a semi-retired airline pilot currently working as a simulator instructor doing 737 type ratings.

He has completed aircraft instructing and has flown since the age of 16 in a career with Ansett and Singapore Airlines where he retired as a 747 captain.

George said, “Keith loved every minute of it, he had a grin from ear to ear.”

Remembering ‘One-Shot’

in Toowoomba in 1921 and educated at Toowoomba Prep and Toowoomba Grammar, he grew up on the land at the family property near Bell and worked as a jackaroo around western Queensland as World War II broke out.

In 1941 Ian headed for Brisbane with a mate to enlist in the navy. The two young men stopped for a beer at Wyreema on the Downs and met a recruiting officer for the RAAF, who was obviously good at his job. Before they’d

drunk a round, the boys had signed up to become airmen.

A year later Ian started training in Sydney and flew his first solo in a Tiger Moth in November 1942. In August 1944 he was posted to 455 RAAF Squadron, based at Dallachy, North Scotland. Flying as a single pilot with the Coastal Command Beaufighters, he and navigator Don Mitchell carried out attacks on enemy shipping in Norwegian waters, flying in

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS NOTICE? (WHEN THEY SEE YOU) Why is it important to replace a missing tooth?

The space created when a tooth has been extracted DOES NOT remain constant. This is because the action of swallowing (we do this on average 600 to 800 times per day), causes us to swallow 1 to 2 litres of saliva daily.

The oral phase of swallowing occurs in your mouth and uses the jaw, lips, tongue, teeth, cheeks, and palate (roof of the mouth). The action and pressure from the tongue and cheeks can move the remaining teeth either side of the extracted tooth towards this gap.

And, when these teeth move position, the opposing teeth on the opposite jaw that mesh also move position. The result is a rollercoaster situation of upper to lower teeth.

John Taylor Your denture expert Some reasons that missing teeth need to be replaced: Speech: A missing tooth can negatively affect the way you speak, depending on where in the mouth it is.

Bite changes: The loss of one or more teeth can cause the re-distribution of your bite pressure on the other teeth. Over time this can cause the remaining teeth to shift position and move into the space of the extracted tooth.

Aesthetics: A missing tooth leaves a visible gap between the remaining teeth and can be a source of embarrassment. You may not feel comfortable smiling and laughing.

Patients with teeth missing often come to John Taylor. Sometimes the teeth have recently been extracted, while some have been missing for years. After an assessment a solution is always found.

The average adult has 32 teeth – a combination Remember: it is not only the front (anterior) of molars (back) and anterior (front) teeth. teeth that your friends see when you smile – There is more than one option for replacing it is the first molars as well.

One-Shot Murray would have turned 100 last month and no doubt would have received a letter from the Queen. He might have even sent back a caricature of Her Maj by way of thanking her.

But Ian Athol Murray, grazier, photographer, artist, cartoonist, airman and war hero, hung up his tools of so many trades and passed away just shy of his 99th birthday last year. In the year or so since he left us, Judith, Ian’s wife of almost 46 years, has been sorting through a voluminous collection of memories, art, and of course, photography, which is the legacy of this renaissance man and true character of Noosa.

When I first met him in the very early ‘90s, Ian had already been an all-purpose photographer for local newspapers for more than a decade, often racing from one job to the next in his trusty Suzuki, camera dangling from his neck. With no time to muck about, he would often capture the moment in just one frame, earning him the nickname and making his photographic legacy all the more remarkable.

“He had an artistic eye, says Judith, “so he’d compose the picture in his head, press the shutter once and save on film. He was Scottish, you see.”

Ian had the slightly daunting air of a retired colonel, a tall man of erect bearing with a clipped military moustache, although he wore the squatter’s uniform of blue double-pocket work shirt, moleskins and RM boots. But when you got to know him, he had a slightly wicked sense of humour and a friendly disposition.

Trying to impose yourself on Noosa’s supersmall media of the day, it was essential that you make friends with One-Shot and Pottsie (the late Geoff Potter) who ruled the picture world, and fortunately I did.

But at the time I had no idea of the man I was dealing with in Ian Murray. Born

formation, 60 to 70 planes at or below 50 feet, to escape German radar.

On one strike, after bombing a ship in Sognefjord, he was intercepted by six German fighter planes. After dodging the enemy fighters for 10 minutes by hugging the sides of the fjord, he was able to escape, but Ian then discovered he had no instrument panel and no radio receiver. After a crippled run back to their Scottish base, he and Don made a dangerous but successful belly landing at more than 200 miles per hour.

In a do-or-die episode that has become part of RAAF history, Ian One-Shot Murray had only one shot at survival, and he took it.

After the war Ian settled on a property at Texas where he and his English wife raised a family and he became active in the Graziers Association, the Cattlemen’s Union and local politics as an Inglewood councillor. But he was a single man again when a young nurse, recently returned from working overseas, took up an appointment at the Texas hospital, where Ian was a board member.

Judith takes up the story.

“As it turned out, our parents had owned adjoining properties at Bell, so he introduced himself to me, offering me a lift to Toowoomba, if ever I should need one. We started seeing each other, the new staffer and the much older board member. He was quite a dashing chap in his late 40s, and we fell in love.”

They were married in 1974 and stayed on in Texas until 1980 when Ian sold the property and the couple moved to the holiday home at Little Cove in Noosa that Judith’s parents had built in 1959.

Says Judith: “He’d started taking photographs at Texas for the agricultural show and things like that, but when we moved to Noosa he got quite serious about it. He created a darkroom so he could print his pictures at home in the evenings. He met Julie Lake from the Noosa News and started doing jobs for them.

Noosaville in flood, 1992.

“It was perfect for Ian because he was a watcher, not a mixer. He rarely left home without his camera. Even when he was in care in his final years he’d have his camera by the bedside and take photos of the TV screen, just to keep his eye in. And he loved taking photos of the staff, in fact he was still taking photos the week before he died.”

When I tell Judith that what I remember most about One-Shot was his upright, military bearing and his rascally sense of humour, she says: “I suppose that’s true, but he wasn’t a joker at home. He loved sharing yarns with his mates at the RSL, but his humour came out most in his cartoons and his funny captions for his photos.

“Unfortunately, he became rather deaf from living on the land and spending too much time on a tractor without ear muffs. But his hearing was a bit selective. When a friend with whom he liked to talk politics visited, he could always hear everything she said, which he put down to her good diction.”

Everywhere in the comfortable cottage they shared are memories of Ian, a multi-talented artist whose output of sketches, cartoons, caricatures and paintings was almost as great as his photography.

While much of the art will remain private, the photographic archive is being lovingly collated and drip-fed to the Noosa Heritage Library so that we will all be able to share not only the humour of Ian One-Shot Murray, but also the memories of people and events from a fast-changing Noosa of the ‘80s and ‘90s.

New facilities opened Commuters on Eumundi Road have spent most of the year watching major new facilities emerge near the entrance of Good Shepherd Lutheran College in Noosaville.

An extension of the Good Shepherd Lutheran Hall, well known to many in the Noosa community, into a complex of facilities called the Worship and Ministry Centre, is an exciting new provision which will be utilised by both the local Lutheran congregation and the college.

After five years of planning and developing this joint venture, construction work began in January. And on Sunday afternoon, 28 November, it all came to fruition when the Lutheran Bishop of Queensland, Pastor Mark Vainikka, officially opened the new facilities, including a rite of dedication.

After the service, a special plaque was unveiled by the chair of the congregation, Matt Bartholomaeus, assisted by the chair of the college’s governing body, Chris Roche.

Noosa’s resident Lutheran pastor, Rev Mark Hansen, said, “Our local church identified five purposes they need to fulfil as a Christian congregation: worship, fellowship, discipleship, evangelism, and ministry. These became the

Afternoon tea on the Fellowship Terrace. basis for the development of the new facilities.”

When the congregation received a generous bequest from the estate of two former members, Carl and Erna Holtz, the new building complex became a possibility. It soon emerged that even more could be achieved through a partnership with the local Lutheran college.

College principal, Anthony Dyer, said, “The college used the congregation’s multi-purpose hall a great deal during the extended school

day and we are looking forward to the new facilities providing extra enhanced spaces that will support a wide range of existing and new college activities”.

The new facilities feature a dedicated worship space with a seating capacity of 250 people and a flow over area into the adjoining hall for many more. In addition to weekly congregational worship, this space will be used on a regular basis during the week by the college for daily chapel worship services. There are

also rooms for church youth and educational activities as well as a playgroup. A terrace verandah adjoining the renovated hall area will provide room to host fellowship events, morning and afternoon teas and lunches. There is also a new and spacious kitchen for catering purposes. As part of the complex there is also an administration area providing workspaces, confidential offices, meeting rooms, a church library as well as storage and amenities.

David Nivala, a congregational member centrally involved in the planning and building of the facilities said, “The design and execution of the sanctuary furniture and artworks were mostly the work of local people, members of the congregation as well as local businesses.”

The architectural design and work supervision for the building were provided by Ken Down Architects and Aspect Architects and Project Managers and the builder was NCM Constructions.

Pastor Hansen said, “We conduct worship services every Sunday morning at 9.30 and we always welcome visitors and locals who would like to worship with us and share these fine facilities.”

Noosa Chances success The Noosa Chances gala dinner on Saturday 27 November at Noosa Waterfront Bar & Restaurant for 102 guests was hailed a success as an initiative to support new education scholarships for talented young people in the shire.

Celebrity chefs Andrea Ravezzani, Michael Bedford, Chris Hagan, Zeb Gilbert and Adriano Zumbo delivered a superb five-course degustation menu while about $80,000 was raised, largely from prizes.

Tara Bell of Noosa Chances said the impact and total dollar value of the night would extend far beyond this, with many new multiyear scholarships pledged by generous individuals.

“Noosa Chances is currently supporting 39 talented students in the Noosa Shire and will add at least 20 new scholarships in 2022 thanks to the generosity of our supporters,“ she said.

“We also have a further 20 that will be sponsored.

“Prospective scholarship recipients are identified by their school principals and talents range from academic excellence to the arts to creative design. Scholarships commence in high school and last for the duration of a young person’s education, subject to annual review.”

Bernadette James, mother of scholarship recipient, Billy James, who spoke on the night, said being a parent of a Noosa Chances scholarship recipient had provided her with many proud moments.

“My son has access to all tools required to make his education aspirations attainable. He already has a love of learning and music. His ambition now is to make Noosa Chances as proud as his mum,” she said.

Dr Kirsten Baulch and her husband Graeme fund a scholarship student, Lille Mellin, after Lille was identified as a scholarship candidate in Year 12 by Noosa District State High School principal Brett Burgess. Lille has just finished her first year of medical school.

Cheers to Noosa Chances.

Noosa Waterfront Restaurant & Bar hosted the event.

Mayor Clare Stewart and mining magnate Gina Rinehart at the event.

“Graeme and I are delighted to be helping Lille financially until she finishes her university studies, but I hope to also be a source of encouragement and support for her as she then navigates being a young doctor,“ Dr Baulch said.

Tara said Noosa Chances’ first student survey showed 94 per cent of students said receiving a Noosa Chances scholarship increased

Chef chat in the kitchen.

their motivation to work hard, and 97 per cent said the scholarship increased their hope for the future. “$1500 per year is a modest amount of money to fund a scholarship, but we know for sure it makes a huge difference in the lives of our very deserving recipients,“ she said.

Mayor Clare Stewart said, as a long term supporter of Noosa Chances, she remained

impressed with the bringing together and support of community of this hard working team’s initiatives.

“The impact of their education scholarships on the life prospects of our talented young people and their families is remarkable and I applaud Noosa Chances for their success in just two years since they commenced,“ she said.

Call for hinterland voices

By Abbey Cannan A final call has gone out for hinterland residents to rate their neighbourhood in Noosa Council’s Liveability Survey, which closes on Sunday.

Council has received a staggering 1500 responses so far, but numbers are disappointingly low from hinterland residents, particularly in Kin Kin, Cooran and Pomona.

Cooran residents Julia and Mark Winters and their teenage daughtersJosephine and Edith, jumped at the chance to help make their town an even better place to live.

As secondary school teachers, Julia and Mark moved to the coast due to work commitments and have lived in Cooran for almost 13 years.

“We love the small community and felt part of that early on when I attended a playgroup at Cooran State School when my girls were young,” Julia said.

“The town is very eclectic with people from all over Australia and the world finding their way here which I’ve always found interesting.

“There is a strong arts community, lovely local businesses, more recently over the past five years, and community events like the Tall Trees festival,” Julia said.

Noosa Council principal planner Michelle Tucker said feedback from residents like the Winters family was critically important to help guide future council decisions.

“We want to hear from everyone in the shire,” she said.

“We’ve only had 20 responses from Noosa North Shore and just over 30 from Kin Kin, Boreen Point and Cooran.”

Julia said she loved the laidback vibe and sense of safety her family felt in Cooran.

“We know our kids are out catching up with other friends down the road and they all look out for each other,“ she said.

Cooran residents, Julia and Mark Winters and their teenage daughters Josephine and Edith, jumped at the chance to help make their town an even better place to live.

Julia said the main issue she would like to see improved in Cooran was the infrastructure.

“My friends that I’ve made here are lifelong friends now and we all look after each other during tough times.

“One of our favourite perks of living in Cooran is its proximity to the beach which is only 30 minutes away.

“We love the beach and Mark is a mad keen surfer so it was an affordable option to buy our house here but still be close to the beach.”

Julia said the lifestyle was energising, which helped the parents cope with their busy schedules as teachers.

“It has been wonderful having all the kids, including cousins, grow up together.

“More recently too, we love the local restaurants, Gin distillery and Brewery to hang out at.”

Julia said the main issue she would like to see improved in Cooran was the infrastructure.

“Our biggest issue being that we have no kerb, and issues with irrigation that only the last two houses in the street have,” she said.

“All of the other houses have a kerb except ours and our neighbour’s house, and years of requests to the council have had no resolution.

“Also there is no sewerage which was apparently supposed to be put in by 2011.

“There is nothing much else I would say except that I think this place will be our place for many years to come.”

The Liveability Survey closes Sunday night.

Simply complete the survey and you have the chance to win one of five $100 vouchers to be used at a number of Noosa businesses.

Take the survey at placescore.org/noosa or on the council website.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK NCIS 10, Tuesday, 8.30pm

Can a long-running series be the same when an integral, much-loved character takes a back seat? This is what fans are wondering as season 19 of the police procedural premieres tonight. In perhaps a merciful move, the show’s writers appeared to kill off Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) via a massive boat explosion in last season’s finale, planting the seed that the central protagonist’s days were numbered after 18 years on the beat. In “Blood in the Water”, the team searches for Gibbs after discovering the wreckage of his boat, and find out he was tracking a serial killer. Harmon bows out this season, with limited appearances promised in future.

MADDY THE MODEL SBS Viceland, Friday, 9.50pm

TOTAL CONTROL ABC TV, Sunday, 8.40pm

Swedish filmmaker Jane Magnusson embarked on a four-year, round-theworld journey following Brisbaneborn Madeline Stuart (pictured) and her mother Rosanne to film this intimate documentary. It tells the story of how Maddy, who was born with Down syndrome, became a star on the New York Fashion Week runway, and how her remarkable career unfolded while the media watched with fascination. At its core, it’s an exploration of the bond between a mother and daughter who have gone up against the odds with optimism and a can-do attitude, and an examination of the concept of disability and beauty.

The penultimate episode of season two of this piercing political drama is bolstered by excellent performances from its stars Deborah Mailman (pictured), Rachel Griffiths and William McInnes. At a short and sharp six episodes long, its perhaps enough time for viewers to marinate in the absurdity and selfishness of politics; one can easily imagine certain scenes playing out across the country as political leaders hustle to keep their jobs. This week, the identity of Alex’s (Mailman) troll is finally uncovered, and he’s someone she knows.

Meanwhile, Alex and Rachel (Griffiths) band together to ultimately decide who will be the next PM.

Chain of command: Mark Harmon has played NCIS stalwart Special Agent Gibbs since 2003.

TRAVEL, COOK, REPEAT WITH CURTIS STONE SBS Food, Monday, 6.30pm

Curtis Stone (pictured) is living the travelling chef dream. The Aussie, who now resides in LA with a Michelin-starred restaurant under his apron, obviously loves to eat, cook and create. In this leisurely series, he adds travel into the concoction for the perfect mix of escapism and food because, let’s face it: travel is food’s best friend. In this six-part sojourn, he begins in Western Australia, with further episodes indulging in Rome, Umbria, Rioja, Sonoma and New South Wales. Tonight, mud crabs are the star when Stone catches some at the beach. The result is a delicious Vietnamese salad.

Santa joins the Christmas in Cooroy parade.

Late night shopping fun Christmas In Cooroy is a much-loved, free and family-friendly community event put on by the Cooroy Chamber of Commerce and this year it is being held on Friday 10 December from 5pm to 9pm with street closures to accommodate entertainment, Christmas festivities, late night trading and plenty more.

Maple St and Emerald St will be a hub with the Cooroy Butter Factory bike parade kicking off the evening.

It was hotly contested last year, so if your child would like to decorate their bike and take part in the parade for their chance to win some fantastic prizes, make sure you enter at cooroy.com.au The big news is that the Santa race is back!

Sponsor, Bentleys Sunshine Coast, is putting up $1000 in prizes for the race so if you are 18 years old or over be sure to get your racing shoes on and enter online at cooroy. com.au Bentley’s partner, Brendon Murray, said “In previous years this race has seen some 75 Santas running up Maple Street so we are excited to see this return in 2021.”

A $10 entry fee will secure your position in the race as well as a Santa suit to race in.

Proceeds from all entry fees will be donated

Santa and his helpers. to the Salvation Army to help families in need this Christmas.”

Miss Donna is always a favourite with the children. She will have a show in the Cooroy Memorial Hall, plus lots of balloon creations in the lead up to her show.

An animal farm will be located on Emerald St where children can have a real farm ex-

perience by feeding and patting the animals.

Santa and his helpers will be taking Christmas wishes and photos outside the Cooroy Memorial Hall, thanks to Gelignite Jacks and Cooroy Country Wear and Jeanery.

The first 150 families also receive a free Christmas show bag filled with goodies from local businesses.

Many shops will be staying open for late night trading and providing special offers so you can show support for local businesses by starting your Christmas shopping on the night.

You can even have your purchases gift wrapped for free out the front of Wythes Real Estate on Maple St. Lighting of the iconic Cooroy Christmas tree will feature on dusk, with a local special guest doing the honours this year.

While you’re in town, check out the beautifully decorated shop windows where children can pick up a possum trail entry form, find possums in the windows, have a bit of fun and be in with a chance to win a $300 prize if they find all the possums.

The night promises to be one to remember with all this and more, including the Wrights Meats and IGA ham wheel, mobile police beat vehicle fun, a Christmas market and community Christmas party at the Butter Factory, food providers and roving performers.

Anticipation is in the air

By Abbey Cannan With just one week to go, there is certainly an air of anticipation around Cooroy with the community looking forward to Christmas in Cooroy on Friday 10 December.

Commencing at 5pm, it is the one night of the year that features late night shopping in Cooroy.

Cooroy Chamber of Commerce president Chris Bell said this yearly event promises to entertain with some of the old favourites making a comeback including the public lighting of the tree and the Bentleys Great Santa Race.

“Of course, the big man himself will be making an appearance giving the kids the opportunity to let Santa know what they would like for Christmas, with the photo booth on hand to capture the special moment,” Mr Bell said.

Food stalls and shopping will be aplenty with many of the stores staying open throughout the evening.

Some great specials and prizes will be on offer and even a gift-wrapping service from Wythes Real Estate.

“The past weekend saw the start of the decorations going up around town,” Mr Bell said.

“Hopefully by the 10 December, the current spell of inclement weather will have moved on.”

Mr Bell said there are already a number of entries for the kids’ decorated bike competition.

“No doubt this will increase rapidly with the flyers being distributed around town,” he said.

This yearly event promises to entertain with some of the old favourites making a comeback including the public Lighting Of The Tree and the Bentleys Great Santa Race.

Countryside Realty have been busy preparing Christmas crackers filled with gift vouchers, trinkets and novelties, with the occasional cracker jokes and puns thrown in for good measure.

The invitation to “pull a cracker” with one of the Countryside staff will no doubt be popular again this year to the unsuspecting adults and children, downtown on Friday night.

Following the disappointment of having to cancel the Cooroy Fusion Festival for the past two years, the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre plans to make up for it with plenty of fun activities.

These include pottery market and artisans stalls, a Larrikin Puppet Show, licensed bar serving alcohol for consumption in a closed off area, food from Dhoms Kitchen and Pacos

Tacos, and live entertainment by Soultree Reunion and high energy band Nizami.

Mr Bell said they would like to highlight the following additions to the evening.

Wright Cut Meats has teamed up with Dolly Duke’s Diner from Kybong and will be presenting a retro style dance band, The RocknRollaBillys, who will be performing classic music from the ‘50s and ‘60s.

“So put on your dancing shoes, as it promises to be party time at Wright Cut Meats,” he said.

“And did I mention the spit-roasted pig, the ham and the cheese on offer that will certainly make it worthwhile taking a trip down Maple Lane on the night?”

“Pete Wright, you are an absolute Cooroy legend.”

Christmas 2021 in Cooroy

Local identity and retired solicitor, Paul Bone, will bring the true spirit of Christmas to town on Friday 10 December with carols from the Choral Reefers.

Listen to them in various locations around town, as well as performing on stage at the RSL. The Queensland Police Service will add to the atmosphere with their Mobile Police Beat station. During the evening, Sergeant Mal Scott and his officers will be doing the rounds, on the lookout for local kids on their best behaviour, with a view to rewarding them accordingly.

“It is also rumoured that we can expect a visit from the police mascot,” Mr Bell said.

Trent Dalton in Noosa.

NEWS

Picture: ROB MACCOLL

Reflecting on love stories Bestselling author Trent Dalton finally made it to Noosa last weekend where he was mobbed by adoring readers as they snatched up copies of his new work, Love Stories. PHIL JARRATT managed to drag him away for an intriguing conversation about love and perfect strangers.

PJ: Your series of articles for The Australian Weekend Magazine in early 2020 on the residents of Sunny Avenue seems to have been the genesis of Love Stories. Is that a fair comment?

TD: Yes, and thanks for bringing that up. In the book I thank Tracey Gregg and all the residents for inspiring me. At that time I was coming off the back of all the madness surrounding the release of my first novel, Boy Swallows Universe, and I just needed to get back to what I do, telling other people’s stories rather than talking about my own, which I’d been so caught up in.

That book is so autobiographical, delving into deep, dark tales that existed in the back of my mind. I wanted to return to what I absolutely love about journalism, which is talking to random strangers. It’s been my bread and butter for more than 20 years and it’s my favourite thing to do. So I told my editor I wanted to walk up and down a suburban street and tell six stories about the people who live there, how their lives interlock. It was so good for the soul to just door knock and sometimes get the door slammed in your face or have people accuse you of trying to sell them solar heating or something. I’d say no, I just want to write the story of your life.

PJ: By then you’d become quite famous quite quickly. Did any of them know who you were?

TD: Well, the woman who was key to the whole thing, Tracey Gregg, grabbed me and said, ‘You have to come in right now!’ And she took me into the kitchen and showed me the book she’d just finished reading – Boy Swallows Universe.

So she introduced me to her neighbours, told me which ones had the best stories. Writing that series was so good for me, and it made

me think that this was an area of journalism I should visit more often. To me it’s really exciting to start gathering stories from people you’ve never met and you know nothing about. You really don’t know where it’s going to go, what’s going to happen or where the narrative will take you. For a writer, that’s a great place to be.

PJ: I think it takes a special kind of journalist to be able to do that. A lot of us are frightened of rejection by strangers. I have nightmares about sitting at a table in a shopping centre trying to interest people in my new book, for example. Most reporters are used to approaching strangers in a context that they can understand, like, did you see the accident and can you tell me what happened?

TD: Well, when I sat on a street corner with my Olivetti for weeks, collecting the material for this book, it was so exposing and I felt so vulnerable. Mate, I was sitting for eight hours a day on the corner of Adelaide and Albert [in Brisbane] looking like a complete goose. It was so wonderful when strangers would come up and go, okay, I might throw this douchebag a bone. A lot of the time, that was where the story began, with people scratching their heads and wondering what the hell I was doing, that there must be some ulterior motive. I’d go, no, no – I just want to hear you talk about someone you love. When they realised that this was really on the level, they’d just let it out and I’d shut up and listen, sometimes for hours. They’d be in tears, I’d be in tears, and they’d realise I was for real.

PJ: Did anyone get aggressive?

TD: You’re in the middle of the city and you’re going to meet all kinds. This one guy was clearly agitated when he saw me, and he walked over and said, ‘I’ve got a love story for ya.

How about I bury your f____ing head in concrete!’ That happened on my 42nd birthday, and I kind of thought, what a great story this would be, a guy drives my head into concrete

on my birthday while I’m trying to get stories about love! But I just told him again that I wanted to hear love stories, and he didn’t know how to react to that, so he just kind of walked away.

PJ: Did people give you stories you didn’t want to hear?

TD: Well, sometimes they’d go into some very strange places, but when you’ve asked them to tell a story, there’s no way you can dodge it. You have to dive in and go with them. That’s the nature of real listening. And if you persist, along comes a Kerry Shepherd who can’t take the photos of her dead husband off the fridge eight years after he died, or the couple who’ve been married for 57 years and the husband knows exactly how many hours that means he’s loved his wife. Stuff like that balances it out.

PJ: Did a lot of stories hit the cutting room floor for one reason or another?

TD: For sure. I mean, I sat on that corner with the Olivetti for about two and a half weeks, but for another month or so I just walked around the city tapping people on the shoulder. I mean, a guy holding a one-year-old baby – you know he’s going to have a lot of love to talk about, because I’ve felt that. Two young women, resting their foreheads against each other, just so much in love, that’s pretty safe too. But the ones where I’m sitting on the corner, there was no way of telling, so some stories would dovetail into others, and some would be too similar to another one I’d already got. But cutting any of them out was a painful process.

I remember there was a woman who told me how she could converse with animals, a former vet, and she told the most beautiful story about her interaction with pets that people had brought to her to be put down. It was a beautiful love story but it didn’t fit the context.

Maybe if I get to do a Love Stories II! Mainly I was trying to keep the light and dark balanced, trying to reflect all the colours of a human day.

PJ: Have you kept in touch with the people you interviewed?

TD: We had the launch at Brisbane City Hall with 1200 people there and I got to bring quite a few of the people up on stage and we told their stories live, which was just amazing.

Every person in the book who could make it came along, and they shared what their families had got out of reading the stories. There were about 40 of them there, all sitting in this one section of City Hall, and I could see how much love was floating around there, and that was pretty special. This is what I live for as a writer, to be reminded that ordinary people can say the most profound things.

PJ: Were you always an incurable romantic, or has this process brought it out?

TD: It’s all about me sorting out my own stuff, going back to my parents and why they did what they did, why I did what I did, trying to figure it out through other people’s stories. I have very strange notions of love. I’ve taken love from unique and complex places. My wife Fiona is the one who cuts right through it. I’m out there asking 200 people about love so why haven’t I asked the person who’s standing in the kitchen with me? And Fiona says … well, I don’t want to give it away for people who haven’t read the book, but she knows why I’m doing this. She knows I’m sorting out my own shit. She knows I look at life through rosecoloured glasses, but there’s dark stuff underneath.

PJ: Will these 200 love stories, published and unpublished, live again in your fiction?

TD: There’s no doubt that they will inform my next novel, which will be set here in South East Queensland. I’m neck deep in the fun stuff right now, jotting down ideas and scribbling notes, super-charged by all the people who shared their stories.

Terror tale based in truth Wide Bay author Tony Matthews has done it again, bringing to life what is probably the most astonishing story ever to emerge from the era of the Second World War. What would it be like to be trapped deep underground for six long and terrible years with no hope of rescue or escape? This is a profound question explored deeply in Tony’s new book, Entombed, and the key point here is that Entombed, although written in the form of a novel, is inspired by an amazing true story and real events. There is no doubt, this is one of the greatest true-life narratives of that period.

The story begins with six German soldiers led by Captain Hans von Roth who are accidentally buried alive in a vast subterranean military stores bunker at the port of Gdynia, Poland, in 1945.

At first they believe they will soon be rescued, but as the hours drag into days, months and finally years, it is appallingly clear that the men will almost certainly face a terrifying death in the grim darkness that surrounds them. They struggle to find a way out of their personal hell, but each fierce attempt leads only to failure and despair. The men face debilitating disease, violent death, and even madness as they attempt to understand the terrors of what lies ahead.

Meanwhile, in Berlin, Hans von Roth’s wife, Erika, is desperately attempting to survive the fall of the city and the Russian hordes destined shortly to occupy it. Facing starvation, massive aerial bombing, Soviet shelling and a host of other dangers, she is also attempting to discover what has become of her missing husband.

As the years pass, the men trapped underground are suffering from disease, thirst, freezing conditions and even mental aberrations.

They struggle constantly to find a way to the surface but nothing seems to work, and fate is particularly cruel. Violence erupts between them. They fight bitterly. Sickness, death, dread and destruction become endemic to them all. Can any of them survive this horrific nightmare?

In Entombed, Tony has woven a carefully structured and beautifully written tale of great love, great despair and a desperate struggle for survival like no other. The story pushes all

Tony Matthews with Entombed, a novel based on a chilling true story. the frontiers of human frailty and courage to their very edges, tearing at the borders of desperation and also thrusting the reader into a constantly deeper understanding of the real meaning of alternating hope and despair under conditions so atrocious, so devoid of any promise of success, that the only way out appears to be death itself.

This is a story of immense struggle against immeasurable odds — a struggle tempered in fear and real-life horror, but it is also a story of

great love and anguish — the anguish of Erika von Roth who, unaware that her husband is still trapped underground in Poland, is fighting to survive in post-war Germany. Erika must now find her own way through the love she retains for her lost husband, and the growing, unexpected and self-betraying love she is experiencing for a man who was once one of her sworn enemies.

Inspired by a true story and actual events, Entombed is one of Tony’s personal best, and

is certainly one of the most awe-inspiring untold stories ever to emerge from the era of the Second World War. Entombed is already capturing the imagination of the world. It has been published in Australia by Big Sky Publishing and will also be published in Europe. In Brooklyn New York, there is a two week waiting list at the public library. It is available through all good book stores or online through Booktopia. There is a short book-trailer at vimeo.com/79417316

Surf tragic Rob Black asks, Noosa, what’s your point?

Written, edited, published and printed on the Sunshine and Discovery coasts, Rob Black’s book, Noosa… What’s your point? A place in the history of surfing, is in shops now. And if you are a surfer, or know a surfer, it is the ideal Christmas stocking filler.

Author and life-long surf tragic Rob Black explores the hold Noosa, Agnes Water and surfing has on the thousands – maybe millions – of surfers world-wide.

With the foreword by surfboard design legend Geoff McCoy, the book kicks off a lifetime of memories and discussion.

And Noosa… What’s your point? was launched, fittingly at the Noosa Festival of Surfing.

Surf design guru and now Noosa Councillor Tom Wegner, author Rob Black and photographer Aidan Gunn debuted the book at First Point to an appreciative crowd at the Beach Bar. To get everyone involved, the author got everyone to relate their own personal experiences of Noosa; their favourite point and dream surf scenario in the whole world.

Every real surfer, part of the tribe, has either lived close to Noosa, surfed Noosa at least once, or has dreamt of surfing Noosa.

And more than a few have ventured further north to the last real open-ocean break before the start of the Great Barrier Reef at Agnes Water.

Those five magical points and bays are legendary, and their part in the history, and the development, of modern surfing, is indisputable. And while Agnes Water was once dubbed The “New’’ Noosa, locals will tell you it has an identity all its own.

“Noosa too is known around the world, and like Byron Bay, was opened up by surfers seeking perfect waves and a perfect lifestyle,’’ said Rob Black.

1964 World Champion Phyllis O’Donnell and another ‘60s and ‘70s legend Ted Spencer after winning the Noosa Open in 1969 with a beautiful, and very rare, Joe Larkin board as part of the prizes.

Picture: NOOSA HERITAGE LIBRARY “Some say, it has been loved to death, or is the love-hate relationship in their life, but Noosa is still Noosa, and the magic and the beauty is still there.

“And Agnes has become the next surf ad-

venture, with the bonus of north facing headlands.’’

The pioneers of the late 1950s and early ‘60s “discovered’’ Noosa; sheltered from the prevailing winds and open to the cyclonic

swells, the points were, and still are, a revelation.

Mechanical-like waves so groomed and so perfect, snaking into the long sand-bottomed points, provided the ideal testing ground for the advancement of surfboard design and the shortboard revolution.

What’s your take on Noosa? What’s your favourite point; First Point, Johnsons, National, Tea Tree or Granite? Or maybe it’s a bit further north at Double Island Point or at the start of The Great Barrier Reef at Agnes Water? And, what is your favourite break in the world? And, who would you like to share it with?

Read the book, join the conversation, share your experiences and dreams.

Rob is a long-time surfer and surf tragic, journo and now author, who fell in love with riding waves – and Noosa – and Agnes Water - back in the olden days.

Born and bred in Queensland, Rob has travelled extensively, and lived and worked in Brisbane, on the Sunshine Coast, Agnes Water, Sydney and London. His passions are his family, surfing, football and watching, reading and writing about surfing and football.

Through his work – and surfing and football – Rob has met and gotten to know many weird and wonderful characters. He has plenty of anecdotes and memories and wants to share a few with you while also getting to hear a few of yours.

Get along to a bookstore, surf shop or newsagent in the Noosa area or in Agnes - or contact Rob through the website or Facebook pages and grab a copy.

And so, it goes again...

The announcement of a shift in the control over tourism marketing in Noosa reminds me of Roman General and author, Gaius Petronius, who lived during the reign of Nero, and who is alleged to have observed, “We trained hard but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganised. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralisation.”

How many times have we encountered the Petronius Principle in relation to government interference in business?

Michael Donovan, Former chair Tourism Noosa P.S. A correction to the recall of Rick Cooper and his reference to the attempted amalgamation of Tourism Noosa and Tourism Sunshine Coast. Unlike the rest of the Coast, no amalgamation with Noosa took place (as detailed in my book). Tourism Noosa successfully fended off the attempt and remained independent from the several catastrophic Tourism Sunshine Coast board debacles of the day. However, Rick’s warning is spot on.

Llew’s views wanted With the Morrison Government in a dither over its proposed Federal Integrity Commission legislation, we again have to ask where our local Member Llew O’Brien stands on this issue.

Two years ago, our local politician argued that the Government’s proposed legislation had insufficient powers to investigate politicians. He even threatened to cross the floor in support of a Bill proposed by the former independent MP Cathy McGowan.

Well, a Liberal MP, Bridget Archer has walked the talk and voted with independent MP Helen Haines to bring on debate on her Bill for an integrity commission. Integrity obviously means something to Bridget Archer.

It took guts for Bridget Archer to do what she did. It’s a pity the Parliament doesn’t have more representatives of the ilk of Helen Haines and Zali Steggall.

Maybe the growing grassroots Voices Of movement, capitalising on rising disaffection with political corruption and failure on climate change, will see a number of truly independent members elected to the Parliament.

We can but live in hope.

In the meantime, Llew, let’s hear your views on an anti-corruption legislative model rather than the mere mouthing of the party line.

Actions over words I was reading an article about the Noosa surfers supporting the Torres Strait Islanders and climate change in Noosa Today. In the article there were many calls to action like “we have

no time for inactivity, we are all responsible for standing up”. That sounds good on its face, but what should we do specifically.

In this article, and in almost all others I have read, there do not seem to be specific suggestions on what should be done from the protestors. Should we eliminate driving? Should we stop using electricity in our homes or when the wind stops blowing or the sun doesn’t shine? Should we stop flying on airliners? Should we shut down industrial activities?

What sort of power generation to support a base load should we build? There are always demands for government to do something.

Just what can government do? Specific ideas are welcome, provided there is civil discourse on the trade offs.

I am for reducing greenhouse gases where we can do so in a meaningful way without putting people out of work or otherwise destroying the economy. As we come out of all the restrictions we have faced due to Covid, it seems to me we know what a large scale loss of freedom and being out of work look like.

Until we have some specific ideas in front of us to discuss along with what they will cost financially and in reductions to our freedoms (these things are about all govt can do), all that will happen is a lot of talk and protests going nowhere.

Tourism moves are reactive I used to think that the print and social media for many years were proactive in presenting current affairs. How naive was I. Current affair programs give you the impression they’re front line nowadays still and are a major contributor towards social change and justice for the ignorant and self-deprecating.

In through the door steps Tourism Noosa, who for years has been hellbent in promoting a lifestyle for the rich and famous at the expense of local ratepayers who can no longer enjoy their beaches because of the insane amount of tourists. A unique part of the planet has once again been sacrificed for the developers and their quest for insane real estate profits.

Thank you, not! TN, and the NSC, who funds your activities year in and year out and has created an ’animal’ that now constantly has to be fed with our taxpayers dollars to stay alive.

And you’ve just realised that you both have created a ’monster’ that now has to be managed and not fed with ’growth hormones ’.... what a load of ’ bullkacka’!

TN and the NSC are just as reactive as our current affairs programs , along with Noosa

Today ( sorry, Phil) as regards saving what’s left of a unique part of our planet .

At the very least, TN has seen the need to restructure its board while Drew & Co. play their respective fiddles.

End of the earth According to Graham Coghill (NT 26/11), human-produced greenhouse gases cause climate change. Graham accepts the belief of climate scientists that changes in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere cause changes in the surface temperature of the earth.

About 200 years ago, climate scientists were trying to explain the causes of the Ice Ages. They hypothesised that decreases in the amount of atmospheric CO2 would cause global cooling and increases would cause global warming.

These beliefs were disproved by subsequent developments which occurred in physics during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The discovery of radioactivity and isotopes revealed that the earth was 4.5 billion years old and its climate is always changing.

Analyses of isotopes from ice cores, stalactites, and ocean floor sediments revealed patterns of warm and cold cycles in past climates.

This is not surprising because the sun and the planets orbit in cycles. Good luck to those politicians who want to take strong action on

climate change. The first thing they need to do is to explain to their constituents how they are going to change the orbit of the sun.

There is evidence to support the hypothesis that the earth’s climate is controlled by changes in the sun’s magnetic field, the intensity of cosmic rays from supernovae bombarding the upper atmosphere, and the extent of global low cloud cover.

The IPCC’s annual Climate Change Conference has just finished in Scotland. It failed to force countries to reduce their emissions of CO2. How many delegates to this conference would have known that Scotland is the birthplace of James Clerk Maxwell, the greatest physicist between Newton and Einstein?

Maxwell’s research laid the foundation for the technology of the modern world. In addition to his work on electromagnetic radiation Maxwell also developed the kinetic theory of gases. Using this theory you can easily show why changes in the amount of CO2 molecules in the atmosphere will have no effect on the surface temperature of the earth.

There is no evidence that the earthwill be destroyed by CO2. However, it will be destroyed by the sun when it runs out of hydrogen in 4.5 billion years time. Like all small, middle aged stars, the sun, when it reaches the end of its life cycle, will expand and vaporise the inner planets including the earth.

Tourism plan is clear Tourism Noosa responds to Noosa Today article ’Tourism shake up’ (26/11).

It is completely incorrect to say, as stated in the second paragraph of the article on the front page, that at the Tourism Noosa AGM, members endorsed ‘an even more streamlined strategic plan that hands back to Noosa Council every aspect of Noosa’s biggest industry and its interaction with the general community except marketing’.

No ‘streamlined strategic plan’ was required to be endorsed at the AGM, and nothing was ‘handed back’ to Noosa Council.

Members voted for a new constitution which refers to the ‘strategies outlined in the plan adopted by the company’ - this is currently the Strategic Plan 2020-2023, approved by the board last year, which clearly sets out our marketing and destination management priorities. There are very clear guiding principles that refer to marketing, brand management, our role in influencing the protection of top visitor experiences, and member and visitor services - this is much more than just marketing.

To say, as editorialised in the article that Tourism Noosa’s role will be to ‘sell, sell, sell’

drastically understates the work that the Tourism Noosa Board and staff are committed to, and which they carry out for the benefit of Noosa’s tourism industry and the community.

Our current plan refers to our role in working with the community, with our over-arching vision being to position Noosa as the most desirable and sustainable tourism destination for our visitors, and to provide economic benefit and value for our members, our community and tourism sectors.

“Furthermore, an entire section of the Plan is devoted to our member services, which is completely distinct from marketing.”

Louise Formosa Tourism Noosa Chair NOOSA TODAY RESPONSE Noosa Today stands by its reporting of the AGM. The article quotes at some length Ms Formosa’s explanations of the constitutional changes and her responses to member questions from the floor.

Electric vehicles are key to Noosa emission reductions With transport accounting for some 32 per cent of Noosa’s emissions, electric vehicle uptake and the installation of charging stations in the Noosa Shire are among the key strategies being pursued by Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN) Inc. “Noosa has been very successful in the uptake of residential solar and we now have some 11.7 MW installed,” said Anne Kennedy, chair of ZEN. “40 per cent of residential dwellings have solar and 23 per cent of businesses, but with 32 per cent of Noosa Shire’s community emissions attributable to transport, the reduction of emissions from this sector remains a major challenge.

“If the recent release of the Federal Government’s electric vehicle strategy confirmed anything it is that electric vehicle uptake is critical in helping us achieve our goals”.

ZEN has embarked on a number of strategies to encourage the uptake of electric vehicles across the shire.

These include advocating for the installation of a number of EV charging stations in the Noosa Shire, support for Noosa Council initiatives, particularly those strategies that would encourage the TransLink bus service to change to electric buses, the development and promotion of on-demand public transport, advocacy for, and implementation of, various forms of transport (e.g., e-bike, e-scooter sharing) that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and planning for greenhouse gas or carbon offsets (planting trees and other carbon capture technologies to offset transport emissions.

Ms Kennedy said plans were well advanced for next year’s Electric Vehicle Expo on 19 June 2022 .

“We anticipate that in the next few years the uptake of electric vehicles will be on a significantly upward trajectory and it is important that our infrastructure can meet the challenges of the changed environment,” she said.

Joe’s electrifying moment Noosa resident, Joe Shlegeris and his family made the switch to 100 per cent EVs seven years ago with the purchase of a Tesla Model S, and more recently, the acquisition of a Kona Electric.

Whilst these models are expensive, Joe has not looked back, finding EVs a “wonderful” and “elegant” alternative to fuel combustion vehicles.

He finds them perfect for zippy trips around Noosa Shire and longer distance journeys, especially with the Queensland Government’s investment in super-charger stations along the Electric Super Highway (now in phase three of its rollout).

For Joe, one of the main benefits of his two EVs are the negligible service and charging costs. Any home with solar panels can charge

Pictures: SUPPLIED an EV for virtually nothing, and because EVs have fewer parts than fuel combustion engines, they need virtually no servicing.But Joe said the biggest benefit of making the switch is “the money you don’t pay to an oil company for fuel” which feels just as satisfying as not paying money for grid electricity because of rooftop solar.

The two models Joe has purchased are expensive vehicles, and would be considered a luxury car option for many. But, especially as the market expands, more and more affordable EVs are landing on Australia’s shores. You can also check out bulk EV purchase options, like the Good Car Co, which support Australians to purchase overseas second-hand EVs at more affordable prices.

Appeal of Silver Bells

By Jim Fagan Five Noosa Chorale singers have been putting the final jingles to their handbell accompaniment of Carol of the Bells for the Chorale’s Christmas Silver Bells at the J later this month.

As well as singing, the five, Marianne McLennan, Kate Bennet, Jenny and Andrew Mitchell and Pam Sage, are also used to playing instruments like clarinets, euphoniums, oboes, pianos and saxophones and, when asked by music director, Adrian King, to tinkle the bells, the request had a certain “ap-peel.”

Along with Carol of the Bells, the Chorale will present 16 carols and songs, including Ding Dong Merrily on High, the Old German carol In Dulce Jubilo, Aussie Jingle Bells, Christmastime and the beautiful, All Bells in Paradise.

And, as has been the custom since the Christmas Cheer concerts started in 2007, the audience will join with the choir, singing Christmas favourites like Once in Royal David’s City and O Come, All Ye Faithful.

A team of singers is putting the final touches to the decorations and, according to soprano/co-ordinator Isabel Lawrence, the theme is bells, baubles and blooms.

“The J will be transformed into a Christmas winter wonderland. Fifteen corflute bells, some a metre high and glittering with silver, will hang from the ceiling and decorate the stage and foyer,“ she said.

“We are also grateful to Lindy Larsen of The Noosa Flower Box who has donated large arrangements of flowers, including a wreath incorporating silver bells.”

MC and narrator is Noosa Deputy Mayor

Ringing in Christmas are Noosa Chorale bellringers Marianne MacLennan, Kate Bennet, Jenny and Andrew Mitchell and Pam Sage.

Katie Rose regularly has a waiting list and the hospice is fundraising to increase the number of guest units next year from three to five.

If you intend ringing in Christmas with Silver Bells, then go like the clappers to make sure of your seats. This year already looks like being a bell out… sorry… sell out.

Noosa Chorale Silver Bells, The J Theatre, Noosa Junction, Friday 17 December at 7pm and Saturday 18 December at 2pm. Tickets $39, student/child concession $30 at the j.com.au or call 5329 6560.

John Veloso will be playing at the 57th annual Peregian Beach Christmas Carols on Wednesday 22 December at Peregian Beach Park.

Locals headline Peregian Beach Christmas carols More than 2000 people are expected to sing along with a stellar line up of local musicians and community groups at the 57th annual Peregian Beach Christmas Carols on Wednesday 22 December at Peregian Beach Park outside the local Surf Club.

Peregian Family and Friends spokesperson Leigh McCready said, “We know how tough it’s been for local artists over the last 18 months, so we are very excited to be able to welcome to the stage lots of locals who have long connections to Peregian.”

“One of our musos is Jay Bishoff who founded the Peregian Originals music festival right here in Peregian Park and ran it for 11 years.

“He will be performing with Andrew Higgins after a fantastic show at this year’s Spirit of Peregian event.”

Peregian Beach Business Association president said Nicki White said, “Andrea Kirwin and Skillz FJ will also be performing Carols for us, along with some of their original tunes.

“Expect to be grooving along when they hit the stage.

“We’re also welcoming a host of musicians who regularly play at the Peregian Beach Markets and the Peregian Beach Hotel – including John Veloso, Sari Abbott, Renny Field, Manoa, Tess Fapani and Raw Ordio (with Brett Gadenne and Damian Campbell).”

Ms McCready said, “Our very talented Peregian Springs State School rock band will be busting out some Carols also, while local dance troupe Studio 4 Dance will delight the kiddies with their sparkling outfits and beautiful dancing to accompany the Christmas music.

“We can’t wait to see everyone there enjoying the kids’ entertainment, Santa visit, laser show, food court and artisan stalls for those last minute Christmas presents.”

Major tour launches here Noosa Regional Gallery was chosen to launch Asia Pacific Contemporary: Three decades of APT 31-month tour of regional Queensland on 10 December, in the same week the 10th Asia Pacific Contemporary Triennial opens in Brisbane.

Noosa Regional Gallery director Michael Brennan said APT helped us to understand the diversity of cultures and communities in our corner of the globe, so to be the first stop on a state-wide, multi-year tour of this major survey exhibition was an amazing privilege.

Curator, Contemporary Asian Art, QAGOMA Reuben Keehan said in presenting highlights from nine iterations of the series of exhibitions, the touring exhibition “reflects APT’s embrace of contemporary art in all its forms, ranging from the ceremonial to the conceptual, and the deeply personal to the resolutely social”.

Including a diverse range of media such as painting, sculpture, works on paper, video and performance, the exhibition features art commissioned or collected from APT1 (1993) through to APT9 (2018-19).

Works by Heri Dono (Indonesia), Lee Wen

(Singapore), Tracey Moffatt (Australia/United States), Lorraine Connelly-Northey (Waradgerie people, Australia), and Michel Tuffery (Aotearoa New Zealand) “encompass diverse customary practices and cultural encounters, illustrating extraordinary social change over almost 30 years,” Mrr Keehan said.

A highlight of the exhibition is a pair of articulated, life-sized bulls created by artist Michel Tuffery from corned-beef tins. Titled Povi tau vaga (The challenge) 1999, the bulls first featured in APT3 as part of a performance.

Heri Dono’s early 1990s otherworldly mythological paintings which draw on traditional Japanese culture narratives and Indonesia’s political history, and Tracey Moffatt’s movingimage work, titled Other 2009- a witty commentary on preconceptions in cinema’s depictions of romantic relationships, are prominent moments not to be missed.

Asia Pacific Contemporary: Three decades of APT opens for the first time on Friday 10 December at Noosa Regional Gallery and runs until 27 February 2022. It will travel to 12 other regional venues including the John Mullins Memorial Art Gallery at Dogwood Crossing, Miles and Hervey Bay Regional Art Gallery.

Noosa theatres keep curtains open to survive Covid From driveway performances and reducedcapacity shows to hibernation – even turning off the back office fridge to save money, theatre groups of the Noosa, Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay regions managed to survive Covid-19 lockdowns without folding for good.

The sector’s diverse responses and impacts sustained have been analysed in new research by University of the Sunshine Coast International Business and Drama academics.

Thirteen theatre groups with varying numbers of members, volunteers, contractors and directors were interviewed between February and July this year by associate lecturer Dr Jacqueline Burgess, lecturer Dr Jo Loth and senior lecturer Dr Saskia de Klerk.

Dr Burgess said the wide range of impacts showed the need for more customised support for regional groups in future, to ensure they thrived as cultural connections for communities, serving loyal audiences and attracting new ones.

“Our research found that nine theatres created new ways to present their productions and adapt to smaller audience sizes,” she said.

“This included putting on short shows, performing outside, on driveways, on Zoom, livestreaming and podcasting. Five theatres intend to keep some of their technological innovations.

“However, while some theatres had success, five felt that Covid-19 had a big financial cost, struggled to survive or substantially reduced their cash reserves. One switched off all electronics, even the fridge, to lower bills.

Some hibernated.”

Mamma Mia production at the Noosa Arts Theatre.

The research will be outlined in an industry report for the sector, including regional councils and the Sunshine Coast Arts Alliance.

Dr Burgess said the responses showed the sector could be resilient, adaptable and determined, using networking and government information and support to respond.

“That none of them had to cease operation permanently is testament to this, despite reports of stress and financial hardship,” she said.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Boardwalk seafood treat Trevor Pepys reviews Boardwalk Bistro on Hastings You’ve almost got your feet in the sand at the front tables, but frankly, that’s the last place Trev wanted to be on a grey, grim and unseasonably cool late afternoon this week.

Still, we were cosy enough at a corner table as we surveyed the menu and the rain tumbled down outside. Trev’s always had a bit of a soft spot for the place formerly known as Berardo’s On The Beach, which was step two of Big Jim’s master plan to eponymously name every dining establishment on Berardo Street (sorry, Hastings Street).

Jim could occasionally be seen waddling down the street from Big Berardo’s to keep tabs on its little beachside brother, but mainly he let it run itself as a scaled down version of the fine dining around the baby grand that he offered at his other establishment. Of course, as some readers will recall, it all ended in tears when the Berardo empire came tumbling down, including the Noosa Food and Wine Festival, amid headlines and accusations, and Jim and partner Greg quietly slipped away to a new life under the Tuscan sun.

It’s been more than five years now since Shane Harvey, Jim’s operations manager at Food and Wine, and a heavyweight in the Hastings Street Association, took over the beachside place, renamed it Boardwalk Bistro and chilled it out a bit with a refit and a more relaxed menu. It had been a couple of years since Trev’s last visit, and he was pleased to see that business was brisk and the young waitstaff smiling and attentive. It had the immediate feel of, well, a bistro.

We ordered a bottle of the Inviniti Pinot Gris ($48) – a quite quaffable Marlborough drop and yes, a bit steep but you can see the sea, for God’s sake – and considered the menu.

Considering the view and the lightness of the wine, we decided to make our choices light and a bit fishy. Sticking with the entree share plates, we ordered the seafood chowder ($22), the prawn tacos ($26) and a round of calamari ($26) with a bowl of chips ($9).

Trev should have ordered the chowder to arrive first, so we could slurp it around casually and not be concerned about the rest of the food getting cold. His bad, but the chowder turned out to be the star of the evening – a flavoursome blending of reef fish, mussels and scallops in a creamy sauce with olive oil on sourdough toast to mop it up. Yum. There are a lot of decent seafood tacos on offer around town and Trev wouldn’t rate Boardwalk’s prawn taco top five. The smashed avocado, Asian slaw, mixed herbs, and house tartare sauce all tasted fine, but they left the soft shell a soggy mess, meaning it was easier to take the delicious prawn out and deal with it alone, attacking the rest as a salad. First world problems.

Seafood chowder.

The common or garden calamari with Asian slaw, mixed herbs, lotus chips, and coconut caramel sauce was a pleasant surprise, the coconut caramel drawing out the flavours of the meat.

The verdict: A tasty light dinner in a great room, served with a smile. We’ll be back.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

La Nina kicks up a gear Well what a week its’ been. Another big rainfall week and the conditions are certainly only going to get better from a fishing point of view.

It’s been a few years since we have seen steady rains, so hoping this keeps up and we can expect to see the Noosa River finally get a bit of a much-needed flush.

Offshore, the local reef systems will start to fire up as reef fish love a heavy rainfall. Combine a serious rain event with a cyclone swell, and we can expect to see lots of new gutters for the beach anglers, deeper channels in the river and freshly exposed reefs offshore.

The offshore scene has reported mackerel and even the odd longtail tuna as well as the usual reef species. For some anglers, they made the trip out wide in bigger boats and, despite the conditions, some were rewarded with big fish from medium sized kingies, XL amberjack to reds around DI. If after a big AJ, come in and check out our speed jigs, Shimano Ocea jigging braid and various jig rods from Oceans Legacy. There is no better way to feel the power of one of these fish when they hit!

For those in close, Sunshine Reef has been holding a few mackerel and tuna. These fish aren’t really chopping up the surface so trolling is order of the day with whole gar and pilchard baits on troll rigs. If you need to make up rigs, we have all the wire and skirts you need, however, if you want a great out of the packet rig, the TT troll rigs are perfect for our waters.

Bottom bashing yields snapper, pearlies, grassy sweetlip, Maori cod and trout. Bigger rigs will tempt jewfish, cobia and maybe a mackerel, especially if floated out the back for those on anchor.

Surf fishing has seen a few holes opening up all along the local beaches. As always the river mouth is a great place to have a try given the range of flats, drop offs and holes. With tides this week fading back to neaps, you should find fishing can be extended for longer periods of time before the currents start to build into next week.

Super lightly-weighted or unweighted baits allowed to drift in the current is a great way to cover ground. Why not try casting out and walking down with your bait. This gives it a very natural presentation. Check out our whitebait and super small octopus beak hooks which are perfect for this method.

The river has been on and off and with the rains the clarity has faded a little. As I mentioned last week, fish will start to depend on sensing vibration so use lures that have this.

You can use small diving lures or blades and vibes. The Ecogear ZX40 blades are a long forgotten lure that were dynamite in the day! We still stock these and they are killer on flathead and trevally and are super easy to work.

Around the structure of the bridges and rock bars you can expect to find jacks tak-

Fishing the turn in the tide is usually a productive time to find predatory fish out and feeding away from structure. Be sure to use quality fluorocarbon leader like FC Rock and Mustad hooks as jacks will expose any weakness in your gear.

Flathead are still on the feed and it looks like the bigger females have moved on leaving the better mid 50cm sized fish in the lower estuary.

These fish are a common capture in Noosa and happen to eat well too. Be sure if fishing from a boat to have a landing net handy. We hold a huge range of nets suited to all budgets and are a must when fishing lighter gear if you intend on getting big fish into your boat or up rocks.

Freshwater has seen the levels of the dams and lakes rise. Borumba is nearly at 100 per cent after several years of sitting around 80 per cent and under. Now would be a great time to go and explore and fish areas previously left high and dry and covered in grass. In a few weeks you can expect to see a lot of dead grass floating around, so go and hit these areas ASAP as fish will be up high feeding on worms and other insects exposed. This would make using small frogs, worms and grubs a great lure option. Take a look at our range of Finesse weedless hooks and match one up to your favorite soft plastic and go on a stealth mission!

By Greg Lynch Mark Brady accepts the award for Noosa Springs’ role in developing junior golf talent in the region.

And fellow member Noi Pike won the women’s A grade title with 104 points, two more than teenager Maddison Kelly, adding to the B grade championship she won in 2017.

David Wrigley (106 points) and Cathy Mathieson (106) won the B grade titles, while Paul Phillips (107) and Carol Yancey (100) were the C grade champions.

Noosa chases fourth pennant Noosa Golf Club will begin its quest for a fourth straight Sunshine Coast A grade pennant title when it takes on Peregian in the first round of the 2022 competition on Sunday 10 July.

Next year’s draw was published this week, with only five rounds of A Grade matches scheduled before the semi-finals at Maroochy River on 14 August, and the finals at Headland the following weekend.

Teams from Noosa, Peregian, Maroochy River, Mt Coolum, Caloundra and Headland have nominated for the A grade title.

B grade and Masters competition, which includes teams from Noosa, Gympie, Noosa Springs and Peregian, also begins on July 10, while Juniors begin their campaign on May 15, with the final at Headland on June 19.

Grant’s back to his best Cooroy Vets captain Grant Smallacombe knew something good was about to happen when he birdied the first hole, picking up four stableford points, in last week’s Vets competition.

He went on to score two more four-pointers, as well as six three-pointers, on his way to tallying 43 points and winning the day’s Division 2 prize.

It was a welcome return to form for the 21-handicapper, and a good test for Cooroy’s newly introduced MPower competition management system.

Becoming great at pitching the golf ball is an important skill for lowering your scores. A great practice drill which I have used myself and have given to my students to help sharpen up their distance control with pitching, involves placing witches’ hats on the practice area at 20m, 30m, 40m, 50m and 60m from your hitting area.

The idea is to then hit five balls to each witch’s hat and then measure how far away each of the five balls is from the witch’s hat at each distance.

You could use a measuring wheel or just step it out with your feet to measure.

Once you have measured all five balls you can then calculate the average distance you are from the target at each of the distances.

Pretty soon you will work out which distances you are great at and which distances you need to work on. Keep up this drill regularly and you will be making beautiful music with your wedges.

Good luck and great golfing.

Golf has always played a big part in Gary Wood’s life.

He once managed Twin Waters’ golf operations alongside Adam Scott’s dad Phil and Noosa professional Brett Officer, plays the game two or three times a week, and currently runs the bar at Mt Coolum Golf Club.

So it came as a jolt when, three years ago, he had to have one of his knees replaced – a procedure with complications that led to a second knee replacement.

“I really struggled for a while,” Gary said.

“I still can’t walk freely. It’s been a bit difficult.”

But all that was forgotten last week when Gary played one of the rounds of his life, scoring 44 points in Noosa’s Tuesday Club competition, and winning the A grade prize by seven strokes.

“Something clicked,” said Gary, who played off a 12 handicap – generous, considering he was once a five-handicapper.

“The ball went just where I intended, my short game was on, and I made every putt.”

The win was special for Gary as he’s the president of the Tuesday Club, a 20-year member of Noosa Golf Club, and now sits on the club’s board.

“We’re very proud of the Tuesday Club,” he said. “We get 220, or 230, players each week, we often need a ballot and it just gets bigger and better.”

Juniors owe much to Noosa Springs For the third year in a row Noosa Springs has been voted the Sunshine Coast club that has done the most to promote, develop and nurture junior golf throughout the year.

Executive general manager Mark Brady accepted the award at last week’s presentation dinner of the Invincibles Sunshine Coast Junior Golf Tour, which coordinates junior events in the region and mentors hundreds of aspiring young golf stars.

“I’ve played and enjoyed sport my whole life,” Mr Brady said.

“And I’m glad Noosa Springs can play a role in encouraging young golfers.”

As well as hosting its own Noosa Springs Junior Open, the resort this year hosted two rounds of the Sunshine Coast Junior Masters, as well as the season-ending Invincibles Gold Cup of Cups.

Fittingly, the Noosa Springs’ team of Sunday and Coco Moore and Jasmine Luna won this year’s Sunshine Coast junior pennant title.

Tooman warms up for Legends assignment Noosa’s Simon Tooman warmed up for his return to the Australian Legends Tour with an outstanding two-under par round in Noosa’s Tuesday Club stableford competition last week.

Tooman, playing off a handicap of plus 3, scored 35 points to figure prominently in the competition’s rundown.

Also using the popular Tuesday club competition to chip off some rust from their game were veteran Mark Tickle (33 points) and Eumundi’s Hugh Dolan (33 points).

All three will play in the Gold Coast Senior PGA Championship at Lakelands on Thursday and Friday, along with Yandina’s Brad Burns, and Sunshine Coast stars Anthony Gilligan, Glenn Joyner, Adam Le Vesconte and Steve Hutchison.

Then they’ll play an event on North Stradbroke Island on Sunday before beginning the Legends Tour’s Sunshine Coast swing at Noosa next Tuesday.

Home ground knowledge helps More than 160 golfers came from throughout Queensland to compete in the A, B and C Grade Championships at Noosa Springs over the weekend, but it was a couple of locals who took out the coveted A grade titles.

Noosa Springs’ Rob Mowat was the A grade men’s champion, scoring 101 stableford points over the three rounds of the championship, to beat visitor Andrew McLucas on a countback.

Bowlers’ picnic in the wet

By Randall Woodley Quote of the Week- “It’s very challenging. The most important thing you need as a cricketer is to be clear on what you’re actually doing.” Test bowler Brett Lee The rain during the last week caused most of the junior and senior cricket matches planned for Saturday to be cancelled. However, Tewantin-Noosa’s second grade team was able to play at Read Park and the day ended up to be a bowler’s picnic.

The First Graders, drawn to play day one of a two-day game against the Rangers at Glasshouse Mountains in a bid to win their 19th match in a row, were disappointed to be told the pitch and ground were waterlogged. And to make matters more painful for the ladderleaders, the second-placed Caboolture team was able to take the field against Nambour at the showgrounds.

By Saturday night Caboolture was on its way to an outright win which could provide them with maximum premiership points whereas Thunder would only have one day to ensure that they at least earned first innings points. This is the unfortunate side of a cricket competition that is spread over a large district where rainfall and conditions can vary greatly.

The Second Graders were able to start their match against Glasshouse at Read Park after some great work by the TNT ground staff, players and supporters. The pitch was soft because of all the rain so winning the toss and electing to bowl first was a great way to start the day for the home team.

Taking the new ball, young gun Harrison Lea bowled exceptionally well, producing swing and movement from the deck and skittling the Ranger’s top four batsmen. He finished the day with 4 for 11 off 12 overs. He was paired with Talon Reichert, who was unlucky not to get a wicket early.

James Denslow inspired the next collapse with Leon Beatty taking his usual one-handed catch in slips. Denslow ended up taking 4 for 21. Jason Toohey and Talon cleaned up the rest, landing a wicket each to close the Glasshouse innings, all out for 74. Of the 10 Glasshouse wickets to fall, seven were either bowled or LBW, showing that all the Thunder bowlers were constantly attacking the stumps.

When Thunder batted, the pitch continued to prove difficult to bat on and wickets were lost early and the team found itself 3 down for 32.

Thankfully, Ben Claypole showing grit, stayed at the crease, watching every ball and scored a valuable 47 with Talon Reichert playing the patient game and keeping his wicket right up until the last over. Oliver Wilson on debut came out at a difficult and darkening period to bat until stumps. Thunder who finished the day on 7 for 85, took the first innings points and provided the momentum to go for the outright next week.

Club statistics With the season half over it is worthwhile looking at the competition and club statistics.

Hockey player inducted into Sports Hall of Fame Olympic and Commonwealth Games hockey legend Jodie Kenny (nee Schulz) has been inducted into the Sunshine Coast Sports Hall of Fame.

Her achievements were celebrated at a Sunshine Coast Sports Federation ceremony last week at the University of the Sunshine Coast.

Certificate of Merit awards were also presented to Greg Furner from the Noosa District Rugby League Club and Charles ‘Charlie’ Hacker from the Lake Cootharaba Sailing 52 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 3 December, 2021

Club who have worked tirelessly contributing to the success of their respective sports on the Sunshine Coast.

Anita and Mick Curwen at the boat launch and naming.

Mick Curwen with mates Steve Hatton and John Jenkins.

New surf boat christened On Sunday morning at Noosa’s Main Beach, the Noosa Heads SLSC, celebrated what has now become part of its proud boating tradition - the ceremony to mark the launching of a new surf boat.

In his opening speech to invited guests and rowers Master of Ceremonies Mick Curwen, veteran masters’ rower, paid homage to the original owners of the land, the Gubbi Gubbi people.

He went on to give a brief history of the boating section in which he acknowledged the year 1993, a year in which the boating fraternity underwent a massive restructure has brought boat racing to its present conciliated and successful situation.

“This, in turn, had made procuring sponsorship deals a more viable proposition. In saying this, we take the time to thank most sincerely Richardson and Wrench for their outstanding contribution to our boating.’’, In his welcome to guests and members club president Ross Fisher also acknowledged the Gubbi Gubbi people. He then congratulated the boat crews on their achievements not only in competition but also in the core business of their patrol work.

“I also thank sponsors Richardson and Wrench for their outstanding contribution.

Shane and Gillian McAuley from the sponsors asked that we pass on their apology as they were unable to attend. We thank these people and wish them all the very best.”

At the completion of the speeches came the most important part of the launching ceremony, the christening of the boat.

Imagine the shock when the MC was asked to remove the strip covering the person’s name, only to discover the name was his, Mick Curwen.

His immediate response was, “My God that’s me.”

The applause that erupted following this revelation, told all present the decision for this high honour was indeed totally supported.

When asked about the award and his 30 years of service he replied, “I feel very humble about the naming. And about my 30 years, man I am just starting,” he said with a laugh.

Mick’s career in lifesaving started in 1992 when, as a father aged 33, the family joined the Noosa Nippers. Following this, like a lot of young fathers he, along with his new mates from the nippers, joined the senior club obtaining his bronze.

This was to be just the start of a successful career in the Noosa club. Through the years he has held various positions, most important of which were treasurer, patrol captain and boat captain.

In competition he rowed in many masters’ boat crews as well as being part of the maintained crews: older rowers who were there to assist when minor damage occurred during racing. The support of his wife Anita and children were a major factor that made it all possible.

The surfboat in action.

Like all the old masters he will still have a row when the occasion arises, but like all the oldies his favourite pastime is a chat over a cold beer. Amongst his favourite chats was rowing in the massive surf of 1997 at Karrawa with Alby Maxwell sweeping. So big was the surf on that occasion that on race day the break (that area inside where waves continually break ) was full of overturned boats, crewies and boat oars. The other was at Elouera in 2018 during the Australian Surf Rowers League Championships when again the surf was huge.

This time for Mick and others, it was a matter of club pride.

Two junior girls’ crews (all eight crewies, 15- and 16-year-old high school girls) both in the same division made the final. Rowing in the biggest surf that they had ever seen, they not only got out and back but in doing so did the unbelievable by finishing first and third, giving them the gold and bronze medals.

When the final placings were announced, the beach, packed with hundreds of rowers from all over Australia erupted: 15- and 16-year-old Noosa school girls, “Unbelievable, but they did it. Certainly, something to remember.”

When it comes to the cost of a new boat, the importance of good sponsorship becomes obvious.

A boat plus trailer is $35,000 and complete with oars, brings the total to $40,000.The importance of these boats in a surf club, cannot be emphasised enough.

First of all, it is a team sport that creates a bond amongst club mates that you will never find in any other discipline. And it is this bond that creates spirit, pride and tradition that is so important in the life of a good club. It is these characteristics that carry over into the structure of good beach patrols with members who can face up to big surf and always move together as a team in times of performing their core business, the protection of human life.

On Saturday morning the Noosa club played host to an u/8-u/10 Nipper Carnival with 12 clubs were in attendance. Watched by a crowd of some 500, the day started with a demonstration dance performed by the Gubbi Gubbi people. The dance team, which was well received, was formed by a direct descendant Lyndon Davis.

Also in attendance were sponsors FINZ and Golden Circle. The morning went off well with just a small wave for the competitors. With nipper clubs turning out nippers at such a young age, it makes things look good for the future of lifesaving. We wish all our nipper families all the very best for the years ahead.

Weightlifting On Saturday Zac Schwitter and Taj Marsh, representing both the Noosa Barbell Club and Queensland, competed in the Senior Australian Weightlifting Titles in Brisbane. For both lads (competing in the snatch and clean and jerk) it was their first time in the senior nationals. This was a great chance to gain experi-

ence in the senior division. In their respective events, Zac competed in the M81kg class and Taj in the M96kg. For Taj, this was the first time in that division as his normal was M89kg but following requests from the Queensland team to move up, he agreed to do so.

Zac had the misfortune to pick up an elbow injury in his last snatch attempt, but with ongoing help from Jason McNamara from SNP Health he was able to finish his event. In doing so he showed a lot of courage and dedication to his team. The end result saw Zac, despite his injury finish in sixth place, in this his first national titles.

Taj’s build up for the competition was rather disjointed, studying for his year 12 exams, attending graduation social events and training made things difficult.

‘However, with his tough mental attitude he executed a fantastic day on the platform to also finish in sixth place in his first nationals.’

After the competition he was quoted as saying, “Small fish, big pond - time to get to work.”

In his summary of the titles coach Woogie Marsh said, “This is the end of the 2021 season for Noosa. It’s time to build again and bring new blood into the Noosa Barbell Club and Crossfit 4566 fold for the 2022 calendar season.”

He thanked the community at Crossfit and the Barbell club for their continued support, dedication and training efforts. Coach Marsh closed off by saying, “bring on 2022”.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt - philjarratt.com

Reno Abellira in his prime, winning the Smirnoff Pro at wild Waimea Bay, 1974.

Picture: JEFF DIVINE

Reno at Sunset.

Picture: LANCE TROUT

Surfing’s great survivor A couple of weeks back on the island of Oahu a 71-year-old homeless man was rushed to hospital after being savagely beaten in Ala Moana Beach Park, just a few hundred metres from the Waikiki glitter strip.

Nothing particularly unusual about that.

These days Ala Mo is a known hangout for people sleeping rough and they are a target for lowlifes who roll them for sport. But this attack was unusual for its severity. The man was unconscious when discovered and lapsed into a coma in the ambulance. He remained on life support until surgeons operated to ease pressure on his brain. He was extremely lucky to survive.

News of the attack came as a shock for me and for many surfers around the world who knew Reno Abellira but did not know how bad his situation had become. Reno, one of the finest surfer-shapers of his generation, has been my close friend for almost 50 years. In fact a signed photo – one of many of himself he’s given me over the years – sits by my desk as I write. It shows the young Reno and Brewer team-mate Gerry Lopez in a yoga meditation with their shaping mentor Dick Brewer in Hawaii in the early ‘70s. Reno’s inscription reads: “To me ol’ china Phil”, which was always his little joke about Aussie slang.

I first met him in Sydney in 1974 when he flew out for the first Coca Cola Surfabout and the small, superbly fit and yoga-flexible Hawaiian impressed me with his quiet intensity and his powerful, crouching turns off the bottom of any wave with power. Later that year he won the Smirnoff Pro at Waimea Bay in the biggest surf ever contested (30-feet plus) to that point.

The following year I chose to focus on Reno as he travelled around the three Australian pro events on offer that season, and got to know him and then-wife Joanne very well as I put together a long profile. Over the next few Hawaiian seasons our friendship grew and in 1979 I wrote a long article for America’s Surfer Magazine called Still Reno After All These Years: “You hear Reno described as arrogant, aloof and intense. He’s all of that, but he’s also a warm and genuine human being with a positively wicked sense of humour. He is sometimes misunderstood. There are surfers who have associated with him for years but confess they don’t really know or understand him. By his own admission he is ‘a complex person’.

He wondered whether this interviewer knew enough about him to present the big picture.

The answer is yes and no. Reno revels in his own complexity, and this much is for sure: any interview that laid him bare, that left no ques-

tions unanswered, he would regard as a misrepresentation.”

There was a lot I didn’t know, like that his father, a middleweight boxer, was gunned down while working a security shift at a dodgy club in Honolulu’s Chinatown just as Reno was getting his start in surfing. As a young teenager he began winning Hawaiian junior events and flew to San Diego in 1966, hoping to pick up a reserve spot on the Hawaiian team for the world titles. He didn’t, but got his chance in Puerto Rico in 1968 where he finished sixth and turned heads with his unique, low-centreof-gravity style.

A decade later he was ranked number four in the world and made up one-half of the O’Neill Wetsuits A-team, alongside South Africa’s Shaun Tomson. He was still a force well into the ‘80s, but somewhere along the way the wheels began to fall off. His marriage broke down and he did some jail time over a cocaine importation charge, although he was later exonerated.

His beautiful surfboard designs were much in demand, but Reno would disappear from the shaping bay for months at a time, showing up at some unlikely and exotic location.

I possibly didn’t see Reno for a decade, although we occasionally communicated by snail mail, but he came back into my life when I ran the Quiksilver Masters from 1999 to 2003. Once a dapper dresser, Reno in his 50s favoured Waikiki gigolo chic. At the Makaha Masters in 2003 he won heats in monster surf by day and crooned at our hotel’s open mic by night.

Around that time we flew him to Noosa for the surf festival where he blew minds with his longboard style and agreed to shave his long black locks for charity. In 2010, Reno claimed honorary Noosan status to join our Noosa Malibu Club team at the Malibu Surfing Association Teams Classic in California. The surf was small and some of the competitors resorted to questionable tactics, but Reno got us back in the game with the best “snake” I’ve ever seen, paddling around three hustling opponents to claim right of way.

I last saw my old friend nearly four years ago, when he drove up from San Clemente to Santa Barbara, his two chihuahuas on his lap, for the American premiere of our film, Men Of Wood and Foam, at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. Reno was in fine form that night, trading quips with Shaun Tomson and shaping legends Rennie Yater and Steve Walden.

I’ll keep that memory alive, rather than the haunted images of him at Ala Mo, and hope that this great surfer can rebuild his life.

APARTMENT SALE SETS HEADS TURNING PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY THE hottest property in town last Friday was the Tom Offermann and Nic Hunterlisted apartment 24 at Las Rias/8 Quamby Place, Noosa Heads, with only registered bidders, agents, and the owners attending the exclusive auction.

Anticipation was high for a super sale price befitting the rarity of the offering, and thirty bids later a new record was achieved with the inimitable auctioneer Gordon Macdonald calling “$11,800,000 for the third and final time, sold,” to a very excited couple.

The culture of cooperation in the Tom Offermann Real Estate office is one of the company’s greatest strengths.

“It is often the subject of comment by clients,” Tom remarked, “and it was strongly displayed at this auction with several agents urging on their introduced buyers.

“It was a jubilant result and the grateful Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

A two-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car townhouse at 3/8 Hilton Tce, Tewantin, is set for auction at 3pm on Saturday, December 4. 259462 sellers celebrated with a record smashing sale, and the buyers who missed out fairly knowing they had every chance but now the hunt begins for a replacement.

“With several having $10m-plus to invest, our agents are hotly pursuing suitable properties.”

The Noosa record apartment sale was set recently at the auction of apartment 5 Hastings Park in Hastings St for $16,100,000, surpassing the previous $14m record of a penthouse in Noosa Court, also in Hastings Street, both proudly sold by Tom Offermann Real Estate.

Prior to the sale of 24 Las Rias for $11.8m, the record sale outside Hastings Street was an apartment, also sold by the company in Infinity, a three-apartment building currently under construction on Gympie Terrace.

“These market leading sales are watched closely by property owners and underpin the constant re-rating of values across the board,’’ Tom said, “and that has been a strong positive territory for over a decade.“ The magnificent 47 The Anchorage, listed by Jill Goode, designed by architect Peter Conley, built by Ian Layton, and boasting one of the largest single sites and the widest waterfronts in Noosa Waters, was passed in but sold post auction to local buyers.

Eric Seetoo is negotiating with several

conditional buyers post auction of apartment 1 in Hastings Park/81 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads.

At the Peter TeWhata-listed 5 Hollyhock Cres, Noosa Heads, a crowd of 20 gathered on the back garden with two registered bidders now negotiating post auction.

A prized beach house at the Nic Hunterlisted 22 Little Cove Rd, Noosa Heads, with the treed reserve as a backdrop, there were six registered bidders and 50 in attendance witnessed the bidding which started very positively at $5m.

“It climbed to $5.8m with three bidders competing,” commented Nic, “and after seeking instructions from the owners and an increase, the gavel fell at $5.9m to Brisbane buyers.’’

At the Luke Chen and Tim McSweeneylisted four-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-level residence with Laguna Bay views, there were 50-onlookers and four registered bidders. After spirited to-ing and fro-ing it was sold under the hammer for $2.029m to a young Canberra couple, who have advanced their plan to be closer to family in Noosa.

AN ORIGINAL WITH POTENTIAL It will be a good test of how the property market has fared over the past 30-40 years.

An original two-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car townhouse at 3/8 Hilton Tce, Tewantin, is set for auction at 3pm on Saturday, December 4.

Warren Evans of Laguna Real Estate said it was one in a block of six at Wedoma Waters, and was as solid as the day is long.

With filtered views of the Noosa River, it is solid brick with concrete slab, and tiled roof.

It’s an original with potential, Warren said.

It is opposite Lakeside Shopping Centre and across the bridge to the Noosa Marina.

The Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club is within an easy walk in the other direction.

The adjoining property is Mandalay three units that were offered to the market at $3.5m last year.

People inquiring from interstate, Warren

said, but mainly locals at the opens.

“Some are looking on behalf of friends from interstate, and some are Brisbane people.

“It’s a great holiday spot in a beautiful location.

“Two bedrooms are upstairs. The openplan living with galley-style kitchen opens to the balcony.’’

FLOOD OF INQUIRIES With price expectations in the mid to high $800,000s, Richardson and Wrench agent Amanda Balding has been inundated with inquiries and attendants to her open homes at 2/65 Poinciana Ave, Tewantin.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, onecar townhouse in a complex of five was due to go to auction at 3pm today, Friday.

However, Amanda has had more than 70 internet inquiries and 30-plus phone inquiries with a real mix of locals and interstate buyers.

The brand-new townhouse is right in the centre of Tewantin. It offers spacious openplan living, large alfresco entertaining area and fully fenced yard.

“With the quality of the build and the price-point being below $1 million, the interest in this listing has exceeded all of our expectations,’’ Amanda said.

“I can’t control what buyers will be willing to pay but we pride ourselves at R&W on running a campaign that is as transparent and honest as possible.

“I have had 40-plus parties attend the opens and conducted 20 private inspections.

“It will most likely be sold prior to auction considering the amount of contracts issued.“ IDEAL LOCATION, ASPECT Chrissie Baker at Laguna Real Estate has been receiving offers on the three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment at 3/7 Lake St, Tewantin, but it will proceed to auction today, Friday, at 12pm.

“We have had really strong interest throughout the campaign and have continued with good numbers at open homes,’’ Chrissie said.

“I know the property well as it has taken a while to bring it to the market.

“It’s so handy, right opposite the marina and all one level once you get upstairs.

“There are lovely timber floors, high ceilings in the living area and it opens out to balcony with views up river and to Lake Doonella from the second bedroom.’’

There is a loft and the third bedroom is a single but suits bunk beds.

Rental appraisal is in the mid to high $600s per week.

“It is a fabulous property, in a complex of three.

“A balcony off the front bedroom is ideal for catching the morning sun.

“A private courtyard with northerly aspect has a mini kitchenette.’’

AN AUCTION FOR THE AGES It was an auction for the ages ... the fourbedroom creekside house on 640sq m at 129 Lake Weyba Dve, Noosaville, attracted nine registered bidders on Saturday and 105 bids.

Anne Powell at Laguna Real Estate said auctioneer Justin Voss did an amazing job calling the bids. He was almost hoarse at the end of it. Penny Choyce was pencilling the bids and regarded it as the most exciting auction she had seen in 20 years.

Bidding opened at $1.2m and after finishing with a long list of $1000 offers it sold at $1.923m to local buyers.

“Nearly all of the interest was local,’’ Anne said. “They could see the value of the area.

“You feel like you are in the centre of a national park but at the centre of Noosa.

“The auctioneer earned his money. It was a classic example of working for the seller but giving all bidders the opportunity to purchase this beautiful property.’’

RARELY AVAILABLE Stephen Gage at Zinc Properties Noosa regards it as the only true beachfront property available at Peregian at the moment.

The three-bedroom, one-bathroom, one car house on 577sq m at 10 Shearwater St goes to auction Saturday, December 4, at 1pm.

“It’s absolute beachfront with a private walkway to the beach,’’ Stephen said.

“A second level would provide ocean views.’’

SET FOR SALE IN REGATTA A stunning five-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 35 Regatta Cct,

Noosaville, is set for auction Saturday, December 4, at 1pm. Chris Miller of Tom Offermann Real Estate said it was a property that would instantly appeal to a family seeking a sanctuary of peace and quiet. On the high side of Noosa Waters with Noosa National Park views, everything in the two-level house is over-generous, from flexible indoor living spaces that blend naturally with the north-facing outdoors and the glistening pool.

“It’s very well done,’’ Chris said. “The main bedroom suite and study or fifth bedroom are upstairs, while the living and three more bedrooms are down.

“It’s very clever in the way the doors fold away to make one big entertaining area that opens to the outdoors.

“There is a lovely pool, big lawns and clever landscaping to make it very private.’’

Interest has been local, but quite a few from Brisbane.

MOUNTAIN VIEWS APPEAL Marketing of the three-bedroom, twobathroom house with pool on 5273sq m at 12-14 Capricorn Ct, Eumundi, kicked off strongly ahead of the auction on Wednesday, December 8, at 2pm.

Jeanette Catalano and Mario Catalano of Hinternoosa have already seen great interest from locals on the Sunshine Coast and from interstate.

“There’s so much scope at this property due to its location,’’ Jeanette said, “... you really can’t over-capitalise when you are so close to the mountain.

“Whether someone lives in as it is, renovates or even builds a whole new home, the peace and quiet along with the uninterrupted view is the real appeal.’’

Captivating views at this stunning Noosa hinterland location on the Eumundi Range are just the start.

Set well back from the road, the singlelevel home has been tightly held for the past 19 years.

“Built in circa 1989, it’s fine to live in as-is but fit now for a makeover.

“Spacious living, the bedrooms are a good size, plus there’s a fourth room most recently used as a home office. An ideal northerly aspect gives incredible views to Mount Cooroy.’’
