Hospice protest By JOLENE OGLE SUNSHINE Coast Community Hospice Op Shop volunteers have walked off the job and are refusing to return to work until the current board resigns. Op shop managers Judy Shorland of the Tewantin store and Carol Daly of the Cooroy store shut up shop on Friday 15 July to demand the resignations of the current Sunshine Coast Community Hospice board, responsible for the operation and closure of the local hospice known as Katie Rose. Ms Shorland and Ms Daly join former volunteers Clytie Glass and Carol Raye to form the Katie Rose Cottage Committee. Committee spokesperson Ms Raye said the group wanted to call on the community to stand up and support their fight to gain control of the hospice that had been closed due to financial issues since December 2015. “The hospice board has underestimated the depth of feeling the community has for Katie Rose Hospice,” Ms Raye said. “We want to re-open the Hospice as Katie Rose Cottage and operate under the original model with a new board.” Ms Raye said the Katie Rose Cottage committee wanted the current board to step-down so a caretaker board can take control and hold elections for new board members to work towards re-opening the facility under a more volunteer-based model. Sunshine Coast Community Hospice chairman Dr Frank Lewins said the board would “certainly not be stepping down” and they were considering a range of options to offer palliative care to the community, including building a purpose-built private hospital facility, but Ms Raye said the community didn’t want a private facility. “The community and volunteers have lost confidence in the board,” she said. “A private facility is not what the Katie Rose hospice is about.” Dr Lewins said while the hospice was a great service for the community, the model of operation simply wasn’t sustainable. “The original model of operation was fraught with issues and was unsustainable,” he said. “There were too many unpredictable factors
The Katie Rose Cottage Committee: Judy Shorland, Carol Daly and Carol Raye. and the facility needs regular, paid nurses for quality of care.” Dr Lewins said he wanted to make it clear the board was only considering the option of building a purpose-built private hospital as just one way of offering sustainable palliative care to the community. “I want to make it clear no formal decision has been made,” he said. Op shop volunteers have criticised the board, saying they have been kept in the dark about the hospice’s progress, but Dr Lewins said current negotiations and possible partnerships needed to be kept private until something more definite was decided upon.
Dr Lewins confirmed the board is “having discussions with two related health care organisations with the view to longer term palliate care for the community”. In regards to the criticism of a lack of information, Dr Lewins said the board was involved in confidential negotiations and couldn’t reveal any details at this stage. “Some people may view our silence as a sign of no action or that we’re up to something, but we have to maintain privacy at this point,” he said. But Ms Raye said there had been a lack of consultation with the community and was urging locals to withhold their donations to the organisation until the issues were resolved.
“We want the board to heed the community’s and volunteer’s wishes and step-down,” Ms Raye said. Since closing the doors to the op shops on Friday, the former volunteers have received messages of support with “Stay strong girls” written on the Tewantin store’s front window, plus over 450 signatures and letters of support from local doctors. Dr Lewins said he believed the op shops will open as soon as possible. “Given the majority of volunteers are positive about the charity and the board, we are confident we can staff the Cooroy and Tewantin shops,” he said.

The forgotten passengers NOOSA councillor Ingrid Jackson is not happy about a lack of public transport out of Noosa, saying local residents had been “forgotten”. In planning bus services to the new Sunshine Coast University Hospital, due to open next year, Cr Jackson said the Queensland Government had forgotten the transport needs of people in the Noosa Shire. “In planning variations to its bus routes, the government has neglected to consider that people of Noosa Shire will find it very difficult to access Kawana by public transport,” Cr Jackson said. “It will be particularly difficult for patients, their families and for our increasingly elderly population.” Cr Jackson said she had contacted TransLink’s stakeholder
engagement advisor Rudy Bell, who told her that Noosa people who wished to access the hospital by bus would need to connect to services at Maroochydore station. “Taking the 620 from Noosa Junction to Maroochydore takes about one hour,” Cr Jackson said. “The 622 takes almost one and a half hours. “Then patients and their families will need to transfer to another bus to take them to the hospital. “This is a real imposition on TransLink’s Noosa passengers. “The new hospital in Kawana is an excellent regional initiative which will provide specialised medical services currently only available in Brisbane,” Cr Jackson said. “But there must be a better connection between the hospital
and the Noosa Shire just as there will be with Maroochydore, Mooloolaba and Caloundra and other southern Sunshine Coast townships.” “I asked Rudy Bell to provide an information session in Noosa Shire, which TransLink is offering in those other areas, but he told me that these meetings will be limited to areas around the routes directly impacted by the proposed changes.” Cr Jackson said Noosa residents could complete a TransLink online survey at haveyoursay. translink.com.au. “I will be pursuing this matter further with the State Government and within council, but also encourage Noosa Shire residents to tell TransLink what they think,” she said.
Councillor Ingrid Jackson is not happy Noosa residents were "forgotten" during transport planning for the new Sunshine Coast University Hospital.
Brigade of baskets is back THE Basket Brigade is back in force for another year, with an action plan to help even more families in need this Christmas. Planning is already underway for the group’s annual food drive but this year the group is calling on local residents to become Basket Buddies over the next 18 weeks. The Basket Buddies program encourages families, businesses or social groups to get together and buy one specific grocery item for the hamper each week from a designated list. The system was developed to ensure those in need at Christmas time are receiving items that will hopefully be useful for the holiday period. Last year the Basket Brigade supported over 100 local fami-
lies who are referred to the group though local support networks. This year, the group hopes to help 200 families. Anyone who wants to support the group can go online to register for the Basket Buddies program and receive a shopping list with one item to buy each week ranging in cost from about $2 to $5. Basket Buddies co-ordinator Diedre Marczynski said the program would help spread the cost for those who wanted to help families in need. “For just a few dollars a week, anyone can help collect the shopping items for a basket and help a local family,” she said. The Basket Buddies program starts on Monday 25 July and anyone who wants to register can visit http://bit.ly/28XynFm.
Tourism Noosa CEO Damien Massingham said the winter holiday campaign down south was a hit.
Noosa lifestyle wheel good the vintage and classy image of Noosa,” he said. “The car and caravan were parked at Circular Quay during Vivid Sydney and then travelled up the Coast. “It’s worked really well with bookings already coming in for August and September.” Timeless Travel Promotions owner Michael Grace drove the vintage car and caravan through New South
Wales, and said the promotion attracted a lot of interest. “It was mind boggling, I couldn’t even get to the car when I parked in New Castle,” he said. This latest promotion is part of Tourism Noosa’s innovative interstate marketing campaign, which last year saw an increase of 29.1 per cent of interstate visitors following the launch of the campaign.

Cameras to keep eyes open THE Peregian Beach Community House is warning vandals to stay away after four new security cameras were installed last week. The House is now protected by seven cameras that record in high-definition, so even the smallest of detail can be recorded. Peregian Beach Community House acting president Eddy Crook said the state-of-the-art system will now cover more angles and areas of the property. “We can also help other local businesses because one of the cameras picks up the road out the front,” he said. Mr Crook said vandals recently attacked a shed at the rear of the property, but thanks to the new cameras, anyone who attempts to vandalise the shed again will be caught. “The new system allows us to review months of footage, download it onto a USB and give it to the police,” he said. “The pictures are crystal clear.” The system was installed by Noosa Alarms, and Mr Crook said it was time the original analogue system was upgraded. The Peregian Beach Community House paid for the installation of the alarm system in what is a councilowned building but Mr Crook said the new system would “pay for itself” by protecting the much-loved community asset.
Peregian Beach Community House acting president Eddy Crook and committee member Mike Goss stand guard with the new security cameras to keep vandals at bay.
Mums have the power in house MUM’S the word as a local co-operative helps parents launch their home business in a child-friendly work environment. The Powerhouse is a co-operative started by local mums which aims to help parents grow their home business or establish their own small business through regular networking events. The co-operative meets fortnightly at the Noosa Leisure Centre with mum, dad and the kids welcome to attend the events with regular guest speakers and networking opportunities. The co-operative also offers learning opportunities for parents who are launching their own business. Mother, blogger and author Milk Meg was the guest speaker at the networking event held on Thursday (14 July). The breastfeeding advocate hosted a presentation about blogging for business; something Meg
knows a lot about as she awaits the release of “Lactaboobiephobia”, a documentary based on her awardwinning blog post about breastfeeding in public. The co-operative is also working towards providing a childfriendly shared workspace which will allow parents to work from a professional and supportive environment and remove the isolation and distractions of working from home with small children. Part of the co-operative’s structure and set up includes a volunteer-run creche on the premises. The creche will also employ a qualified childcare worker and will only be available to mothers who are on-site at the same time as their children. If you would like to find out more information, email thepowerhousecoop@gmail.com or call 0411 622 453.

Tribute paid to Kylie TRIBUTES have poured in for the much-loved local learning support teacher Kylie Allen, who died after sustaining life-threatening injuries in a house fire on Sunday night. Emergency services were called to the Greenoaks Drive home at about 10.30pm after neighbours tried to save the 44-year-old.
Ms Allen was rushed to Nambour Hospital but later died from her injuries. Flower tributes have been placed in front of the teacher’s home and Coolum State School principal Pat Cavanagh released a statement praising Ms Allen’s work ethic, saying she had been an integral part of the
school for nine years. “Kylie was a professional in all she did, generous in her time and sharing of knowledge, helpful to all her colleagues and above all dedicated to improving the learning opportunities of her students,“ he said. “Kylie’s work ethos and the ef-

Tussle over netting hauls of the snub nosed dart By HOLLIE HARRIS INTERSTATE fishers are under fire again for targeting one of the Noosa region's popular game fish. Known as a prize catch, the snub nosed dart can bring in big tourism dollars but is slowly vanishing due to big netting hauls. A local resort owner, who asked to remain anonymous for fears of repercussions, said: “People come from other countries to our pristine coastline to catch these fantastic sporting fish, which are worth thousands of dollars to the local economy.” According to fish-on.com.au, snub nosed dart are considered the Holy Grail of salt water fly fishing. The website says the species is equipped with all the skills and features necessary to elude even the most experienced of anglers at times and when finally hooked they provide anglers with a tussle. Fish-on.com.au says the snub nose dart has a 70 per cent sport rating and a zero per cent taste rating, fetching them only around $2 per kilogram. “They are likely to end up as fertiliser or cat food. Even if they just left 10 per cent of stocks in the water to replenish and breed or leave the smart ones to escape, it would be

Show the spirit THE Noosa District State High School Kokoda Challenge team is making great process through the 96-kilometre course in the Gold Coast Hinterland. It was a challenge that would question their physical and mental fitness, but for the 90 St Andrew’s Anglican College students and staff this would prove to be their strength last weekend. The Jim Stillman Cup is run as part of a series of events in the Kokoda Challenge over the Gold Coast Hinterland and raises funds to support young Australians through the Kokoda Youth Foundation. The tough terrain and bad weather
added to the difficulty this year, however with eight teams finishing in the top 20, students and staff had certainly committed to the event. Teacher Rebecca Quin and her team of students Billy Cooksley, Scarlet Rees, Emily Lethbridge and Cooper Davis finished second this year in the Open category in an incredible time of six hours and 59 minutes. Jane Cooksley and her all-female team of Amelia Frye, Libby St Baker, Nelly St Baker and Mia Smallman came first in their category with a time of eight hours and 22 minutes. Rebecca Quin said: “This year was more challenging with the rain, but I
was so proud of them all, encouraging each other all the way.” College Principal Chris Ivey also laced up his runners and joined the challenge with his team. One team member had to pull out due to injury, but he said: “The grit and determination of the others to continue was wonderful. This challenge is about so much more than the physical. “It tests your mental strength to continue, when your body is telling you otherwise. We remind ourselves of the Kokoda spirit and this shows through in the commitment from all competitors.”

ADVERTISMENT
Jodi Chapman - A Natural Life f you meet Jodi Chapman today it is impossible to believe that this beautiful young woman, who is the epitome of health, could have over a long period of her life relied on a myriad of medications to get through each day from early childhood.
I
Jodi was born and raised in the western suburbs of Sydney, along with her older brother and younger sister. The fun and innocence of childhood changed quite suddenly when from seven years of age and right through her adolescence she was afflicted by unbearable migraines, the constant intolerable pain ruling her life for more than the next decade. Jodi awoke daily with these agonising migraines. To get through each day meant taking medication on a daily basis. Having been an A grade student up until the age of fourteen, the drugs began to take their toll on her ability to focus at school, when her parents then hired a tutor to help maintain her grades. Having seen a Migraine Specialist from the UK at age fifteen, she was diagnosed with classic cluster headaches, and told she would be on a cocktail of medications and heavy painkillers for the rest of her life. At the age of seventeen, having missed almost half of senior high school through illness, Jodi was forced to leave school and enter the workforce - the real world now lay before her. Funding her medications became her responsibility and required her to take two jobs, a medical secretary by day, and at a hotel by night and weekends, in order to pay the $140 of weekly medication costs. Over the following few years, with still no answer in sight, she met her then husband, and with her personal life flourishing and her health diminishing, life delivered another blow when her mother passed away suddenly. This shocking loss left Jodi absolutely shattered.
1235618-CG29-16
Within a week of her mother’s passing, Jodi had developed psoriasis and the debilitating and life threatening auto-immune bowel disease, Ulcerative Colitis. The stress and health breakdown that followed made her life unbearable, and she was hospitalised immediately. With her health a mystery to conventional medicine, and through what can only be described as a bizarre twist of circumstances, Jodi came upon a natural health practitioner with his own theories and methods to treat disease. After just one appointment Jodi’s health improved virtually overnight. She was blown away, experiencing a feeling of wellness that had escaped her for almost two decades. She was able to come off her medications permanently. She was getting results that conventional medicine had been unable to achieve. Prior to this, she was feeling as if lifelong disability was inevitable. Pills, drugs and unproductive days ruled her life, it was unbearable, though the promise of a life of wellness drove her forward. Continuing on her journey, Jodi was encouraged by her practitioner to learn more about diet,
noosatoday.com.au
and natural methods of treatment. Through his unconventional methods her bowel disease symptoms were healed in weeks and her migraines were gone not long after. Inspired and motivated by her new found health to learn about natural therapies, Jodi enrolled at university to complete a Bachelor of Health Science, in order to practice Naturopathy, which quickly became her passion. Ten years on, and now with a team of eight, Jodi has become a leader in her field dealing with complex health conditions. Her approach is based on much of the learnings she has had to source through her own health journey and by researching outside of the standard educational model. Her integrative health methods based on biochemistry and pathology have been very successful, particularly in the areas of mental health, depression, anxiety, and ADHD, which she now treats as a specialist with a natural approach. Her methods for treatment in this area have been publicized internationally through Food Matters TV, filmmakers of “Hungry for Change” and founders of FMTV.com James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch. Jodi has since trained a team of Naturopaths to work along-side her. Courtney who is a research genius is having fantastic results with her biochemically minded approach and is treating extremely complex cases with great success. Kim has over 20 years in the healthcare industry where a background in pediatric nursing left her feeling like there was more to be done. Watching children in hospital getting worse due to poor understanding of diet and nutrition, Kim knew there was a missing link, knowing children and adults were having surgery and drug therapies for illnesses without treating the underlying cause of the problem. Kim strikes the perfect balance between western medical understanding and Natural medical knowledge and is having fantastic success using Jodi’s methods. Jodi’s passion and dedication to her work has seen not only the growth of her team, but recent acknowledgement in business winning Corporate Business Woman of the year 2015, and her soon to be published book on the causes and treatment for depression, anxiety & ADHD. Jodi and her team at Advanced Wellness and Behavioural Centre are embarking on a new journey in 2016 with the upcoming opening of her purpose built new Wellness Centre in the CBD of Maroochydore, with even more support available for her patient to live a healthy and happy life. The expression “things happen for a reason” cropped up all through Jodi’s life. These days she enjoys running her business, caring for her two daughters, living a balanced and active life in the outdoors, training with close friends to compete in triathlon. You could say Jodi’s life has been guided to bring her to what is absolutely her true passion and purpose. Her knowledge and understanding comes not only from study, but from finding her own way out of a life of disease. For further information on how the team at Advanced Wellness may be able to help you and your family visit www.advancedwellness.com.au or phone the Centre on (07) 5443 1987 for a free half hour consultation. 44 Baden Powell Street, Maroochydore

Students face up to punch NOOSA District State High School (NDSHS) senior students received a dose of real life on Friday afternoon when they attended a lecture to discuss coward punching, the impacts of alcohol and sexual consent. The lecture was titled Aggression is the Wrong Expression and was hosted by police prosecutor and former NDSHS student Sergeant Shane Raison and university lecturer and
researcher in child psychology Dr Rachael Sharman. Dr Sharman spoke to the students about the development of the adolescent brain and the detrimental impacts alcohol can have, as demonstrated through CT imagery. Sgt Raison spoke to the students about the impacts one punch can have on a person at the receiving end as well as the major changes faced
by the person who throws the punch through the exploration of local case studies. “It takes less than one second to decide to punch someone and about a second to throw a punch. “What you need to realise is impacts from that punch will have lasting consequences for the person at the receiving end and the person who has made that rash decision to punch someone,“ Sgt Raison said.
Sgt Raison spoke to the students about the ripple effects one incident can have for the people involved including the impacts on families and friends and the diminished opportunities for the perpetrator of a punch such as reduced income, limited job prospects and no overseas travel. “Walking away from an argument or disagreement could have saved a lifetime of heartache, pain, suffering,
loss and regret,” Sgt Raison said. Sexual consent was also discussed and explained with a video showing sex as the figurative notion of making someone a cup of tea. The students found the presentation to be very powerful and it is hoped mature thought processes come to the fore when they are next faced with difficult and challenging circumstances.

SPINAL health was the hot topic when Ben Riley from the Spinal Education Awareness Team (SEAT) paid Sunshine Beach State School students a visit last week. SEAT is a preventative program initiated by www.spinal. com.au and delivered by volunteers who have a spinal cord injury, such as Ben, and share their personal experience and important safety messages with people of all ages.
Ben told his personal story of his devastating trail bike accident which resulted in his lifelong injuries. The presentations covered topics such as how the spine and spinal cord work, disability awareness, playing sport safely, making good choices when with friends, peer pressure, road safety and water safety. The presentation was said to have made an impression on the students with Mitchell
from year five saying the presentation opened his eyes. “The presentation from SEAT really made me realise how bad spinal injuries really are and how your spine is one of the most important parts of your body,” he said. A Sunshine Beach State School spokesperson said the school was aware of the importance of educating its students from an early age about the importance of staying safe for life. noosatoday.com.au

Flagship: The Cruiser HMAS Australia II From 1928-1942 the battle cruiser Australia II carved a unique place in Australian naval and war history. Stunned by murder and court martial in 1942, Australia II fought in the battle of the Coral Sea and in 1944, in the greatest sea battle of all time, the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Attacked by more kamikaze aircraft than any other Allied ship she retired gracefully, laden with battle honours, and was scrapped in 1956. Mike Carlton, with his inimitable panache and flawless research, tells the story of Australia, which encompasses the era’s fascinating naval and social history.

Geared up for the green NOOSA'S Bushland Care Groups are gearing up again for National Tree Day on Sunday 31 July, calling all green thumbs and environment lovers to join the crusade. Planet Ark launched National Tree Day in 1996 and since then 22 million trees have been planted by more than 3.5 million volunteers. Councillor Joe Jurisevic said this year’s focus on National Tree Day would be on helping vulnerable wildlife species. “Volunteers will be planting native trees and shrubs, particularly koala food trees and glossyblack cockatoo ‘she-oak’ trees,” he said. Schools Tree Day is on Friday 29 July and Sunshine Beach High School students will be busy restoring glossy-black cockatoo habitat while learning about the glossies from Bob Carey, a Bushland Care volunteer and glossyblack cockatoo expert. The Sunshine Beach and Tewantin North Bushland Care groups will be at the school again for the fourth year running, working hard helping the students with their tree-planting. Volunteers, including mums and dad and kids, are very welcome to help plant trees on Sunday 31 July at the following locations: Redwood Bushland Reserve: 9am to 11am between Redwood Avenue and David Low Way, Marcus Beach. Creek Road Park: 8am to 10.30am at the park entrance between 17 and 19 Creek Road, off Lake Weyba Drive, Noosaville. Gloves are provided but volunteers are asked to please bring a hat, water bottle and plenty of enthusiasm. Council would like to thank Madills Toyota for sponsoring National Tree Day. For further information or to get involved, please contact Noosa Council on 5329 6500.

Tourism set to take off via airport THE Sunshine Coast is set for a tourism boom with the Sunshine Coast Airport expansion project gaining Federal approval. Environment Minister Greg Hunt announced the Commonwealth approval had been granted for the $347 million project. Federal member for Fairfax
Ted O’Brien told local media the EIS approval gives the runway expansion project “the environmental green light” and “paves the way for the Sunshine Coast to progress towards a fully-fledged international airport”. The next step forward in the expansion process includes se-

curing a Queensland Treasury Corporation guarantee on any concessional loan granted by the Federal Government to the Sunshine Coast Council, which it’s believed Queensland Treasurer Curtis Pitt has already given his in-principle support for. The New Runway Project will
deliver a new 2450m x 45m runway including runway end taxiway loops, an expanded apron and terminal facilities, a new air traffic control tower and associated infrastructure. The project will enable direct flights to more destinations across Australia, Asia and the Western Pacific.
THE Cooroy Memorial Hall Action Group (CCMHAG) will hold a public meeting this Friday for anyone who wants to help reopen the community facility. As the Memorial Hall is currently closed, the meeting will be held at the Cooroy Library on Friday 22 July at 6pm and the committee is urging anyone who wants a hall for the Cooroy community to attend the meeting. The fate of the Cooroy Memorial Hall has been in limbo since it was closed due to safety concerns last year. Since then, local groups and businesses have been rallying to reopen the community facility that used to hold regular markets, dance classes and other community events, with the CCMHAG officially forming in February this year. The group of nine committee members has since been working with the local RSL, the state Department of Natural Resources and Mines and Noosa Council to resolve complicated land issues. The CCMHAG is working with the council which has considered taking on a short-term lease of the hall from the RSL, but the working group would prefer Noosa Council take on the trust of the hall. On 18 July CCMHAG received a letter from Cooroy RSL stating its intention to pay $6000 for asbestos to be removed from the hall. The next step for the group is to now hold a public meeting to garner support for the hall. noosatoday.com.au

Climate change advice NOOSA Council has called in climate action heavyweights Dr Stephen Bygrave and Michael Lord in its quest to slash emissions. The Beyond Zero Emissions (BZE) experts have begun auditing the council’s buildings, waste service, fleet and infrastructure in the hunt for opportunities to reduce emissions. “Councils across Australia are beginning to realise the need for local climate change action to make up for a lack of leadership at the state and federal levels,” Mayor Tony Wellington said. “We are very happy to draw on BZE’s expertise in this area and thus help lead the charge in setting emission reduction targets. “As well as environmental benefits, changing to newer technology to reduce emissions can also generate long-term cost savings for council.” The council adopted its Emission Reduction Policy in May. “It has been extremely pleasing to witness the enthusiasm with which our local community has embraced the challenge of achieving ZEN - Zero Emissions Noosa. “A range of community meetings have already taken place. This heralds a twopronged, collaborative approach by council and residents,” Cr Wellington said. BZE is a not-for-profit research and education organisation which is known for its work designing and implementing a zeroemissions economy. Its goal is to transform Australia into a 21st-century renewable-energy-powered clean-tech economy. Besides Noosa Shire Council, Beyond Zero Emissions is working with councils and communities in Byron Shire, Mitchell Shire and Cairns. “To achieve the global commitment to limit global warming, developed countries like Australia need to move quickly to eliminate emissions. “Noosa Council is showing impressive leadership by declaring its intention to achieve zero emissions in an ambitious timeframe. “I have been most impressed with both Noosa Council and the broader Noosa community in terms of their current level of preparation and their overall enthusiasm,” Dr Bygrave said. “BZE is confident that it can help Noosa Council achieve its strategic objective of zero emissions.”

AN EXPANSION of a large-scale aged care facility on Elms Road in Cooroy is expected to be given the green light by councillors at their ordinary meeting tonight (Thursday). The development was originally approved by the amalgamated Sunshine Coast Regional Council in 2010, but the developers have since expanded the plan to include an additional two lots which will house a large club room, bowling greens and more than 50 more villas. At the council’s general committee meeting on Monday 18 July, councillor Brian Stockwell raised concerns about the development saying he couldn’t support a project that could potentially affect local water courses. Cr Stockwell said he was also concerned about the buildings’ aesthetics, which he described as “bland”, and moved a motion to defer the consideration of the amended application until further investigation and redesign could be done. Cr Stockwell’s motion was not supported by the other councillors who voted to approve the application for the extended development. noosatoday.com.au

Hinterland tourism win FORMER Noosa Mayor Noel Playford has cut the ribbon on council’s $5.6 million Dr Pages Road upgrade. Mr Playford said Dr Pages Road was already carrying an extra 100 vehicles a day since being sealed, in a win for hinterland tourism. Mr Playford, who retired in March following more than 20 years in local government, announced the multi-million dollar project in his last Noosa Council budget. The Federal Government’s ‘Roads to Recovery’ funding program contributed $1,826,696 toward the project. Planning and Infrastructure director Martin Drydale said: “By designing the road upgrade in-house, council had been able to keep costs down, avoid the need for property acquisitions and minimise en-
vironmental impacts.” Mayor Tony Wellington said: “More trees have been protected than is usual for a road construction project, and where the road crosses waterways, we’ve minimised environmental impacts through clever design. The road also now has Q10 flood immunity. “This project is successfully making our wonderful hinterland more accessible,” Cr Wellington said. “As a result of this project, residents and tourists can now enjoy a round trip from Tewantin out through the hinterland towns of Boreen Point, Kin Kin, Cooran, Pomona and Cooroy without travelling on a single gravel road,” he said. “Following de-amalgamation, I promised the community we would prioritise the sealing of Dr Pages Road and
part of Kinmond Creek Road to provide a fully sealed hinterland loop - a project that has been on the table for more than 20 years. So I am pleased to join Mayor Wellington, councillors and staff today to celebrate its completion.” Dr Pages Road makes up the northern point of the Noosa Country Drive’s north loop which was launched by Tourism Noosa last year. Toursim Noosa CEO Damien Massingham said the sealed road would now allow locals and tourists to access farms, galleries and retreats on a safer road. “All the northern route of the loop is now bitumen, so people know they can travel these roads and that they’re going to get there safely,” he said.
Tourism Noosa’s Juanita Bloomfield and CEO Damien Massingham celebrate the opening of Dr Pages Road with Noosa Council mayor Tony Wellington and former mayor Noel Playford.
Poinciana Memory by Noel Foley.
Artist’s affinity with nature reflected THE Pomona Railway Station Gallery is proud to present the Dreaming and Drawing art exhibition of new works by Noel Foley. The official opening will be held on Saturday 6 August at 11.30am but the exhibition will show until 7 September. Mr Foley said since he moved to the Pomona area three years ago he rejoiced over his return to the rainforest following a 35-year hiatus in Darwin. “Having been born and raised in Papua New Guinea, I have been infused since birth by the sights, smells, textures and closeness of the forest, experiences far removed from the NT,” he said. “I have never been much interested in the ‘grand vista’ but more so in the minutiae of the close in view necessitated by dense forest.” Mr Foley said he had been blessed with two inspiring places in the Ringtail Creek area and many of the works in the exhibition were inspired by these places and friends. noosatoday.com.au
“My love of birds and the forest emerged as the logical heartbeat of this exhibition,” he said. “Coming home to lush greenery has also reminded me of the pleasure of simple drawing, something I have been doing throughout my childhood.” Mr Foley has enjoyed a successful professional career mostly using pastels, which is essentially drawing with colour. “These works have resulted in an invitation to exhibit and teach aboard the QEII, which, in turn, opened opportunities internationally. This will be my eighth solo exhibition,” he said. “Drawing in monochrome can be extremely rewarding, however I was unable to deny the colours of many of our magnificent birds. So, why not marry the two?” In this exhibition, Mr Foley returns to his drawing roots and has made the conscious decision to keep the works to a manageable and practical size with simple, unobtrusive framing so as not to overpower the work.

TOP showjumpers from New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland will be chasing $20,000 worth of prize-money this weekend in the Sunshine Coast Showjumping Club’s four-day July Show. An unprecedented 450 riders have entered this year’s show which will be held at the Nambour Showgrounds from 22 to 25 of July and is organized by Cooroy’s Raymont family - Paul, Sue and son Jamie - who said they were bowled over by the huge number of entries this year. The very best showjumping horses in the nation are expected to come to the Sunshine Coast for the event. The highlight of the show will be Sunday’s Grand Prix, with a first prize worth $2200, thanks to the sponsorship of Sandal Saddlery. This class is scheduled to start at 12.30pm, with jumps starting at 1.50pm.
These will be raised to Olympic heights for the jump-off. Triple Olympian Vicki Roycroft will be one of the 35 World Cup riders taking part in this testing class, along with Queensland’s best including World Cup riders Billy and Jamie Raymont, Bec and Stuart Jenkins, and Paula and Olivia Hamood. Vicki won the Queensland State Championships, which was held by the club in 2015. She said she was delighted to be returning as she considers the Nambour ground to be one of the best in the nation for its springy, well-drained surface. This Grand Prix the final in a four-part Summer Classic series run by the club, and is also part of the Queensland Grand Prix Horse of the Year series. Entry to the public is free, and further information can be found on the SCSJ Club’s website at http://sunshinecoastshowjumpingclub.com.au.

A PROJECT to nurture, mentor and showcase young musicians will receive funding in the latest round of RADF (Regional Arts Development Fund) grants. The Pomona Arts initiative, based at the Majestic Theatre, will link aspiring young musicians with music industry mentors to deliver live gigs. Noosa’s RADF committee chair Cr Jess Glasgow said council was pleased to approve just over $30,000 in RADF funding in this round, including $7000 for the mentoring project at the Majestic. “This project will help young and aspiring musicians to gain a foothold in the music business while developing their skills in a supportive local environment,” Cr Glasgow said. “It is one of a range of quality projects this round of RADF grants will support.” The Wallace House Quil-
ters will receive $1570 to host a two-day workshop on modern quilting techniques and trends. Noosa Arts Theatre will gain $10,000 to deliver a series of performances in collaboration with Cooran’s Farmhouse Theatre. Just over $3300 will assist the Cooroy Future Group to deliver “Connected” - a skateboard design workshop series for young adults, with a focus on individual expression and its connection to the larger community. This round of funding also includes $8210 to help develop the shire’s Arts, Cultural and Heritage Plan. Premier and Arts Minister Annastacia Palaszczuk said the Queensland Government is providing over $2 million in 2015-'16 for the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), a state and local government partnership involving 59 local councils across Queensland.
“The $2.08 million will leverage approximately $1.8 million from local councils, and means an anticipated total of $3.9 million will be available for arts projects across the state,” the Premier said. “RADF supports around 3000 arts, cultural and heritage projects annually, ranging from local festivals and celebrations, to training, education and employment outcomes for Queensland artists. “This year will see a revamped RADF program developed in consultation with local councils which opens the way for more arts at a local level with public art commissions, access to touring productions and more training opportunities on offer,” she said. For more information about RADF grants contact Noosa Council’s RADF Liaison Officer on (07) 5329 6558 or email your query to grants@noosa.qld.gov.au.

At home with design EUMUNDI building designer Georgie Brachold has won the Queensland State Building Design Award for Best Student Design 2016. Building designers from around the state gathered at the Building Designers Association of Queensland gala event which was held at the Brisbane Convention Centre on Friday night to celebrate excellence in design. The mother of three children completed a duel diploma of building design and interior design in November last year while also working full time with Eumundi based sustainable building design studio Ecolibrium Designs. “I’m thrilled and excited. It’s been such a hard few years during some major changes and supporting three children,” she said. “But in the end it’s all been worthwhile and all the hard work is starting to pay off. “I really believe that homes filled with natural elements and that respond to nature as much as possible make you feel good. “As a designer I want to help to create those spaces for other people to enjoy.” Ecolibrium Designs owner Brett Grimley said Georgie has “worked really hard”. “She has a passion for great design so this is fantastic for Georgie and thoroughly deserved,” he said. Georgie’s winning design was a new, high-end sustainable home. Incorporating universal design principles, the north-facing, adaptable home is designed for multi-generational living. A natural pool and multi-level gardened outdoor living space was a major feature of the house.

History in the making By HOLLIE HARRIS BACK in 1959, Pelican Street was home to one little lowset house. A couple of blocks away, at number 41, the second home to be built in Peregian Beach was only a roof behind being finished. Now beneath the luxurious exterior of a modern makeover lies a very special piece of Sunshine Coast history. With the auction fast approaching, current owner Derek Finley reflects on a very different beachside life at 41 Pelican Street as he embarks on a massive renovation of the old besser block lowset that had sat there for almost 40 years. “It was all sandy roads back then. Red foxes walking up the street, kangaroos on the roundabouts and koalas in the trees out the back,” he said. Derek said there wasn’t a single light to be seen in the Hinterland and emus frequented the beaches back then. This little old house, which was once a peaceful refuge from the First World War for a Romanian couple, was ready for a makeover. The rare 1067 square metre block is situated in an elevated part of the street which gives the property breathtaking 270 degree views from the Glasshouse Mountains to the Ocean. Being surrounded by national park ensures these magnificent vistas will never be built out. Derek said it was important for the renovation to maximise the coastal weather in all its glory. Derek embarked with a vision to transform the beachfront shack into a luxurious, architecturally designed family home in 1996. Engineers had insisted the foundations of the original home were so rock solid that it would be mad not use them. Hoping to hold onto a piece of history, Derek decided to build 90 per cent of the new extensions onto the original
place, keeping one original wall and the existing shower, which still stands in the basement. “It adds story to the place. I think people crave a bit of history these days,” Derek said. There will be a tug at some heart strings when it’s time to let go of this beachfront treasure at the 30 July auction, to be held by Richardson and Wrench Noosa. Derek said his favourite aspects of the property as it stands today are “when its low tide, sitting at the kitchen bench and looking out to the top of Moreton Island. It’s really something. “And those full moons over the ocean - it’s picture book stuff.”

Where did my returns go?
Rental returns on a strong growth curve
AS property investors, we often get excited about achieving a great return on a rental property but this excitement can often turn to despair as the expected return dwindles away due to inflated price expectations and sometimes false hope from real estate agents.
IT'S great news for investors in the Noosa real estate market, with new data showing continual growth in median rent prices. The most recent data from the Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) uses information from new rental bond lodgement forms to calculate the median rent prices in particular areas. According to the data for the 2016 March quarter, its great news for Noosa investors with consistent growth in rental prices when compared to the 2014 March quarter.
Diminishing returns occur when a property is vacant for any period of time before the start of a new tenancy. There are many reasons why a property can remain vacant. Lawns needing mowing, ripped fly-screens and damaged curtains lead to poor presentation. Having no power connected results in a dark property and delayed advertising and lack of signage leads to no inquiries because you can’t sell a secret. When you eliminate these issues, the single biggest reason for an extended period of vacancy is price. A property that is overpriced compared to other properties of similar specifications within the area will generally remain vacant. It may take you four or five weeks to realise this but the damage to your returns will already be done. For example, you have a property and it’s just been listed for rent at $490 per week but according to the market it should be $450 per week.
For two-bedroom units, there was an 11.43 per cent growth taking the median rent from $350 per week to $390 per week. Three-bedroom units have also increased from $410 per week to $450, a 9.76 per cent growth. When it comes to homes, three-bedroom homes attracted the highest growth of 13.92 per cent taking rental prices from $395 per week to $450. You can't sell a secret! A lack of signage advertising your rental can delay occupancy and eat into your returns. If it takes you five weeks to rent this property because you have had to progressively drop the price, then the effective weekly rental return on a 12-month lease drops to $408 per week. On a six-month lease this weekly return drops to a staggering $370 per week taking into consideration the fiveweek vacancy. So how do you avoid this from occurring? When choosing an agent don’t just go for the one that has given you the highest appraisal. If there is
a considerable discrepancy between appraisals, then this should set off alarm bells. Do your own research - websites such as domain.com.au and realestate. com.au will let you accurately compare your property to others. Finally, try not to get emotionally involved. If the property is priced correctly, tenants will be found quickly and you can avoid the diminishing returns problem. - PATRICK SHERWOOD
The median rent for four-bedroom homes grew from $520 per week to $580, a growth of 11.54 per cent, but two-bedroom homes experienced the slowest growth of just 3.13 per cent from $320 per week in the 2014 March quarter to $330 in the 2016 March quarter. When the Noosa-specific data is compared to results from the Sunshine Coast Council region, Noosa consistently outperforms the southern counterpart. For example, the Sunshine Coast Council region recorded a 6.25 per cent increase in the median rent of two-bedroom units, while Noosa had an 11.43 per cent increase. According to the data, Noosa outperformed the Sunshine Coast in all median rental prices except for two-bedroom homes where the Sunshine Coast has experienced 7.69 per cent growth from $325 per week to $350 and Noosa experienced a 3.13 per cent growth from $320 to $330 per week.

Building records impressive growth THE Wide Bay Burnett region has experienced impressive growth over the past 12 months, according to the latest dwelling approval statistics from the ABS. The data found Wide Bay recorded a 41 per cent growth in dwelling approvals for the past three months. Cairns and Townsville also showed improvement with an increase of 28.1 per cent and 17.5 per cent respectively during the same period.
Master Builders’ deputy CEO Paul Bidwell said the results were encouraging. “Across the state, dwelling approvals are still up across the past 12 months and I am confident detached housing will continue to grow long-term, particularly given the low interest rate environment and the State Government’s now $20,000 first home owners’ grant,” he said. While the Wide Bay Burnett, Cairns and Townsville regions showed strong signs of growth
during the past three months thanks to an increase in building approvals, the south-east Queensland region showed long-term growth. The Sunshine Coast, along with Gold Coast and the Greater Brisbane area all recorded significant improvements over the past 12 months. The Gold Coast experienced 26.7 per cent growth for the past three months, while the Sunshine Coast and Greater Brisbane experienced 30.4 per cent and 29.4 per cent respectively.
The Sunshine Coast building industry has recorded strong growth over the past 12 months.

Charged up PUBLIC charging stations for electric cars should not have priority to better road surfaces, like those needed on Cooroy-Noosa RoadBeckmans Road junction and on Cooroy’s railway bridge. Charging stations before better roads is like putting the horse before the cart. Spend ratepayers’ money more wisely. Mark and Jan Rose, Cooroy.

Roadworks plan I READ with interest the proposed roadworks planned for Tewantin. A slipway for traffic to enter Poinciana Avenue from Moorindil Stree is an excellent idea, but I hope this will not involving the ripping up part of the new footpath that is being constructed at the moment? It would not surprise anyone to see this happen. Are ratepayers going to fork out for the bill on a lack of planning foresight again? Steve Anschutz, Tewantin.
Medi banked AT LAST there is someone else who recognises what is going on about Medicare (see Dylan White’s letter to Noosa Today on 14 July). I have been doing research for the past 18 months into what is happening to Medicare, and the Liberals under Abbott and Turnbull have continuously white-anted Medicare during that time, and all by the back door. Some 476 items have been removed from the claims list - MRIs, CT scans, other radiological and pathological tests have also been removed, most of which are preventative or diagnostic studies. How stupid is that? Mega health dollars can be saved in the long-term through preventative and diagnostic medicine. Treatments for the over-seventies withdrawn, even if lifesaving. Medicare centres have been closed down, staff made redundant, games played with practitioners with bills going back and forth, claims not being paid for months, online claims being pushed, which disadvantage computer illiterates and the aged, what Medicare centres that still exist being put side by side with Centrelink offices, supervised by armed security guards. The latter enables the government to garnish a welter of information on individuals without their knowledge and so on. All this has happened while parliament yells and shouts across the table to one another, at least the ALP tried to make Medicare, and what is happening to it, their number one campaign. We can only say, do not stop, push it all out in the open, or else we may end up losing one of the best health systems in the world, and one of our inalienable rights under the UN human rights charter. K.L. Fielden, Tewantin.
Nothing final COUNCIL has provided end of year financial reports and despite prognostications of fiscal soundness they reveal an inability to finalise projects. The actual capital works completion rate for the financial year was 21 per cent (more than two months) behind schedule - unfinished work will add to the new budget’s workload. Additional to normal business, there are ongoing problems with the following projects - electric bus trial, asset management plan, transport strategy, waste management policy, customer service plus work health and safety issues, new planning scheme, appeals to the Planning and Environment Court etc, all of which feed into a new Town Plan. De-amalgamation has reduced resources but a preoccupation with Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation policies is confounding those concerned with economic growth. John Lobb, Peregian Springs.
Power of the bat THE bats were gone, but not for long, and we are again being woken up by the dulcet tones and smell of bats. All those lovely compassionate people in Noosa are feeling sad for us whereas the “bats can do whatever they like" people are probably laughing and saying that it serves us right for trying to get rid of the beautiful little creatures. Who said they had all gone to Goat Island - they merely went there for a four-day break to see some friends and then came back home as it is much more fun living here where they can squash into ravaged trees and annoy the neighbours. As for the people selling tickets for a boat trip to see the wondernoosatoday.com.au
ANNIE Owens took this beautiful photo at Lake McDonald looking towards Mt Cooroy. If you have a photo of Noosa’s lanscape or wildlife you would like to share, please email it to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au
ful sight of bats taking off from Goat Island, they may not get value for money since the bats are moving on, and they could come for a free nightly viewing at Wallace Park. Thanks Noosa Council for your help in saving the bats and ruining our lives. Norah Lilley, Tewantin. Response from Noosa Mayor Tony Wellington: The boat trip to view bats was in the Maroochy River, not the Noosa River. Curiously, there is a Goat Island in Maroochy River which also has - or had - a colony of flying foxes.
Sustainable? ANYONE who is concerned about commercial net fishing in the Noosa River and North Shore would be worried about the do-nothing attitude of the State Government. If the government had not stopped logging on Fraser Island, there would be no trees left by now. Unless there are some enforced conservation measures, fish numbers will continue to decline in the Noosa area. Just because you have done something for the last 100 years, does not mean you can continue to do it. It is just not sustainable. It would be interesting to know how much of this fish is being used for pet food or bait. Bruce Hallett, Tewantin.
Sombre moment ON FRIDAY 8 July I scattered my wife Marianne’s ashes at the Noosa River mouth. I would like to sincerely thank the Noosa Coast Guard crews for their caring and professional approach to the occasion. Also David for all his help with details, the service and plaque on the Memorial Wall. I would not hesitate to recommend this service to anyone if needed. Russ Scott, Peregian Beach.
Volunteer no more UNTIL last Friday (15 July) I was a volunteer for the Katie Rose Op-shops in Tewantin and Cooroy. I know that many in our community
have been supporting the aim to re-open the Katie Rose Cottage at Doonan in order to provide continuing palliative care to terminally ill patients. Indeed the re-opening of the cottage has been the hope of all our volunteers in our op-shops and those volunteers, both housekeepers and ground staff, who have maintained the cottage since its “temporary closure”. Unfortunately the board of the Sunshine Hospice Ltd, without community consultation, has decided to permanently close Katie Rose Cottage. Their only aim is to construct a “purpose-built” facility somewhere on the Coast on a non-existent block of land at some time in the future at some undisclosed price. This decision has put all our volunteers in Katie Rose Op-shops in an untenable position. After the decision to “temporarily” close the cottage, we were being asked to continue to receive donations from the community and to raise funds through the shops to support the re-opening of the cottage. Now we have no idea where those funds are going or what the board’s plans are and they have shown no inclination to inform our volunteers or the community. This is clearly a case of misrepresentation by the board and could be construed as collecting funds from the community under false pretences. I feel that it is time for the board to step down as they have lost the confidence of our volunteers and the community. I, and my fellow volunteers, cannot continue to work in this situation. Paul Daly, Tewantin.
Politics of fear THE expert analysts and political commentators of this world have been writing thousands of pages to try and understand the results of our last federal election and it seems to me that most of them missed the point completely. The resurgence of someone like Pauline Hanson has simply shown that it is now not only the average redneck who votes for her, but a growing number of voters who live in fear. The world is changing fast and violence, and terrorism is escalating at an alarming pace. Brexit and the rise of Trump in the States is
nothing more than a knee-jerk reaction to the fast-growing Muslim population all over the world. Most people are aware they have nothing to fear from most Muslims, but at the same time are very concerned about the extremists who live within the Islamic community, and therefore want to have better control over their borders and frontiers. Had Mr Turnbull, who was cruising in the polls early on, approached the election with a much stronger stance on immigration and terrorism, he would have, with no doubt in my mind, won this election easily. Dom Massoni, Verrierdale.
Ready for the karma? TO THE low-life who came into our yard, right up to the garage, in Shields Street, Tewantin, and stole a little girl’s Monster High push bike - shame on you. Watch out. Karma will get you. Laine Harry, Tewantin.

They’re on your wavelength AN AWARD-WINNING local band is bringing its good vibrations to Noosa’s own Cafe Le Monde for one night only. Progressive surf roots rockers Band of Frequencies has played all over the world with the likes of Donovan Frankenreiter, John Butler, Angus Stone and Ash Grunwald and is now bringing its unique sound to the coastal town of Noosa. True believers in sounds beyond boundaries, Band of Frequencies draws its influences from a vast spectrum of roots, rock, electronic and psychedelic styles. Its signature blend comes from years of live experimentation, constantly pushing its influences into the creative fires to see what melts, what explodes and what merges. It has now successfully forged a bond of sonic elements that represents its coastal roots and strikes a chord in the hearts of passionate music lovers around the globe. It’s this quality that has led to invitations to grace the stages of diverse festivals at home and abroad, including the Billabong ‘Banzai’ Pipe Masters, Hawaii; North Shore Film Festival, Hawaii; Surf and Sound Tour, Tokyo, not to mention some of Australia’s premier festivals such as Splendour in the Grass, Mullum Music Festival and Woodford Folk Festival. The name Band of Frequencies refers to the concept that each person vibrates at a certain frequency with the lowest being fear and hate and the highest being love and compassion. Like radio and TV stations, people also broadcast our particular band of frequencies at any given moment. Band of Frequencies 2012 release Rise Like the Sun is a potent and honest collection of songs that speak volumes about its intriguing journey. Lead singer and songwriter Shannon Sol Carroll said: “This album represents an evolution towards truth and a documentation of all the stages along the way.” Rise Like the Sun features the award winning track Golden which was voted best Blues/Roots song at the Queensland Music Awards 2012.

Stage set for busking brothers Gig
Catch Sunshine Coast duo Hoo8Hoo at the Sunshine Beach Surf Club.
TRANSFORMING street corners into stages since boyhood, now at the tender ages of 17 and 14 Sunshine Coast busker brothers Tim and Sam Aitken, better known as Hoo8hoo, are making some serious steps into the world of indie/pop music. With cajon drums, melodic guitars and impeccable vocal harmonies, Hoo8hoo’s influences hark back to internationally renowned buskersturned-superstars, winning praise from the likes of Ed Sheeren and Passenger on their recent Australian tours. At home, much like their Britpop idols, Hoo8hoo have forged a tireless reputation for swoonsome live street shows as well as establishing their own collection of impressive pop tunes about first loves and fitting in.
The Sunshine Coast sibling duo hit the ground running in 2016, signing to international music manager, Dennis Dunstan who has serious plans in mind for Tim and Sam’s undeniably exciting future. Dennis, who was instrumental in the management and success of legendary international bands Fleetwood Mac and Men at Work, immediately recognized Hoo8hoo’s exceptional talent. “They have the sort of voices that resonated with not only me but everyone in the crowd. “They remind me of the type of talent Australia produced 40 years ago in The Bee Gees, a blend of vocal talent that only siblings seem to be able to produce. Lookout world,” he said. As the youngest artists
ever to perform on stage at the Byron Bay Blues Festival after winning the 2015 busking competition, Tim and Sam have remained true to their busking roots, performing at festivals across Queensland including the Caloundra Music Festival. Impossible not to be completely sucked in by Hoo8hoo’s killer sound and feel good tunes, at this rate, the Sunshine Coast sibling duo are ones to keep your eye on. Check out the sibling duo as they support Rebecca O’Connor as Tina Turner on Sunday 24 July from 3pm at the Sunshine Beach Surf Club. Tickets $5 for members and $12 non-members. For more information or to book a ticket, call 5447 5491.

Spirit of the selfie's gallery push
Create an #instaexperience and Debra Dougherty's #bittersweetart exhibition, pictured with body artist Jude Spence, classical guitarist Tracey O'Brien, model Chanelle Jayne and designer Cindy Vogels.
PHOTOGRAPHY is usually not allowed in art galleries but local artist Debra Dougherty is encouraging visitors to pull out their cameras and take a selfie at her latest exhibition #bittersweetart. Artist and Instagrammer Debra invites visitors to take selfies while standing in front of one of her colourful art works - colourful spirit bird, sacred heart bird or #enerchiar, to truly express themselves. “The selfie mirrors you, but when you choose which art to pose in front of you express your spirit self,” Debra said. “The world of Instagram and Facebook shows a curated version of yourself while your real world might be full
of change you cannot control. “I balance this bittersweet reality by producing expressive colourful works of art. “My art making is a moving meditation; balance in motion, every brush stroke is an extension of myself. “I am totally present while I paint, bringing life, passion and energy to my work.” Debra said when she shares a photo of her art practice on social media it is like putting art in a gallery. “The art is no longer part of me, the viewer takes on its story if only for a few seconds,” she said. “But this gallery is worldwide with young street artists, school children, food lovers and all sorts of people tak-
ing a peep at my art. “I feel free to paint up a vibrant conversation with these people which differs from the conversations I had when only a few people saw my art in small local galleries.” Debra invites visitors to come to her engaging exhibition and extend an ‘insta’ moment into a real gallery, authentic experience. The exhibition opens on Saturday 13 August at 1.30pm at the Gympie Regional Gallery. There will also be music by local classical guitarist Tracey O’Brien, an expressive artistic fashion parade with designer head-pieces by Cindy Vogels and body art by award-winning body painting artist Jude Spence.

The popularity of the ensemble is reflected in the fact that the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne gives about 300 concerts a year around the globe to listeners throughout the world. The Chamber Philharmonia Cologne was founded in the city whose name it bears - Cologne - the city that is famous throughout the world for its University of Music and
its musical and instrumental teaching. Generations of musicians have been trained there for many decades and they are said to be unparalleled. The permanently expanding repertoire of the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne consists primarily of hand-picked pieces with the appeal of the concerts lying in the meeting of popular and unknown works from a wide variety of musical epochs. Audiences will get to hear familiar greats such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and
Antonio Vivaldi in dialogue with works from people such as Sergei Prokofieff through to the King of Tango Astor Piazzolla. This mix promises great diversity of the very highest order. Don’t miss this internationally spectacular concert as the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne performs on Saturday 23 July at the Anglican Church of Noosa, 17 William Street, Tewantin, from 7pm.

Sweet tempered chocolateria owner Jo Wilson.
The delicious, crowd pleasing, espresso cheesecake.
Where the service is sweet DELICIOUS chocolate isn’t the only thing drawing locals to Sweet Tempered Chocolateria - warm smiles and cheerful hellos have customers returning time and time again. Sweet Tempered is a locally owned family cafe serving up great customer service and delicious chocolate truffles, pralines and sweet treats made using the finest Belgian chocolate. Owner Jo Wilson purchased the shop with husband Mike late last year and said her family
hasn’t looked back since. “I’m a chocolate lover and a self-confessed foodie, so I really love being able to serve our customers good food each day,” Jo said. “Sweet Tempered is a place for friends to gather and people to meet, to enjoy a delicious coffee and taste our gorgeous handmade chocolates.” According to Jo, the most popular item on the menu is the hot chocolate and mochas,
made from real milk, dark or white chocolate. “People love how we use real, melted chocolate. Our cakes are also very popular, especially our espresso cheesecake which we make onsite,” she said. “Our pastry chef is fantastic and we can make whole cakes and birthday cakes to order.” But Sweet Tempered chocolate isn’t all about the chocolate. If you’re after something more substantial, then drop by and try the
many light lunch options made onsite including smoked salmon tortes, a range of Paninis and delicious sausage rolls. There’s something for everyone at the cosy cafe with old-fashioned, friendly service free with every order. Drop by and say hello to the team at Sweet Tempered Chocolateria, 5/20 Lanyana Way, Noosa Junction.

To increase the chance of getting good advice look for an adviser who also has a diploma, an advanced diploma or degree qualification in a relevant discipline such as finance, economics, accounting or financial planning. Also, the ASIC encourages people to make sure the adviser focuses on the services and strategies they can offer rather than the products
they can sell. Lastly, the ASIC encourage people to not be afraid to ask an adviser about their qualification and experience. If they don’t have enough experience or knowledge in a particular area, find another adviser. For more information, head to www.moneysmart.gov.au/investing.

For those who are looking to start the new financial year off on the right foot, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission’s (ASIC) website has advice on finding the right financial advisor. According to the website, anyone choosing an adviser should check the ASIC’s financial advisers’ register at www.moneysmart.gov.au to make sure they have the right experience and qualifications for the level of service required. They can also check the register to make sure that the adviser is licensed and hasn’t been banned or disqualified from giving advice. Once they have a shortlist of advisers, the ASIC encourages people to check the history, qualifications and current employment status of advisers before approaching them about getting advice.

SPORTTODAY
Boxers on board By RON LANE TO say that the last three weeks for our local boxing fraternity have been busy would be right on. It all started with a visit to Brisbane where fighters took part in an amateur boxing tournament at Griffith University. Both our local clubs Noosa Box Office (N.B.O.) and Impact Boxing Academy Cooroy were represented. For N.B.O it was a case of five fights for four wins and for Impact it was four for four wins. Back training in their respective gyms the following Tuesday night it was training as usual. For N.B.O coach and owner Israel Kani, Tuesday night is always busy with plenty of heavy sparring. With two rings working at one time and a huge floor mat where up to six sparing sessions are underway, it’s full on. “It's busy tonight,” said Israel, “but this is not all. A couple of my team have gone up to Cooroy to have some good sparing sessions at the Impact Academy. Mark Evans coach at Impact and I are good friends, so the interchange of fighters for training sessions is a common occurrence. It is great for both our squads-a win win situation.” When things get busy at N.B.O. Israel's mate and off sider, 75-year “young” retired ex pug from East London Bobby Exir, will step in to help whereever. “I had heart surgery some time ago, but now I am raring to go.” As we walked around the gym he points to different lads and gives a
Sparing sessions at the AIS. good run down on their capabilities. “This one is hot,” he said pointing to Jackson King, “he is just about ready to turn pro.” Up on the edge of the ring leaning over the top rope, Israel calls advice to a couple of young hopefuls. Up two flights of stairs, one on either side of the gym that lead to an internal balcony, fighters are running during a break between bag work. The magnificent work of Israel and his team to set up this gym, has given Noosa what must be one of the best training facilities in the state. At Cooroys Impact Boxing Academy coach/owner Mark Evans is catching up with his support team to check on the situation. “I have just returned from a five-day high performance training camp at the A.I.S in Canberra,” he said “While I was away our team fought in the Queensland Novice Titles and the results were good. These results have given our new fighters a lot of selfconfidence and this is vital as they learn to believe in
themselves.” The National Youth Development Camp Canberra, was for the purpose of providing all aspects of advanced training for members of the Australian National Youth Team. The aim is to represent their country at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast in 2018, then the next step, the biggest goal of all, the Olympic Games- Tokyo 2020. The selection for this elite group was based on results at the BAL (Boxing Australia) National Titles and /or recommendations of the BAL selection panel. The camp catered for a team of 16 fighters, six of whom came from Qld and of those, three, Sam CameronHands, Bailey Seabourne and Tyler Blizzard were from the Impact Boxing Academy Cooroy. While in camp the team worked under the supervision of four coaches, two from NSW, one each from Vic and Qld; with the Qld coach being Impacts Mark Evans. Add to this our Tyler
Blizzard was appointed team captain and as such he was responsible for team organisation. He did an outstanding job. “The training was full on,” said Mark, “three sessions a day and these were followed by power presentations. The power presentations revolve around all aspects of the sport; things of which in the bygone era were never discussed.” Among the topics discussed were proper nutrition for athletes pre and post competition; education on the proper fuel for the body during training and recovery. Also an anti-doping education session as well as coach/ athlete relationships were addressed. Perhaps, one of the most important of all topics sport psychology, the mental attitude to lead up and the after effects following a major tournament, was also discussed.” In the words of head coach for Boxing Australia, Anthony Redward, who presided over the camp, “These presentations are a vital part of athletic education and form the basis for elite athletes learning about what is expected of them. It was very encouraging to have very experienced sports people delivering on both an executive and coaching level.” With state-of-the-art training camps, plus two modern gymnasiums and two such competent coaches as Israel Kani and Mark Evans, the outstanding successes achieved so far by local fighters at State, National and International level are sure to continue.

Mick’s back - with dolphins Life of
Fanning floating down the line.
brine PHIL JARRATT
THE great whites stayed away from J-Bay last weekend, although Mick Fanning must have had a momentary heart flutter when the lead fin of a pod of dolphins appeared just as his semi-final with Julian Wilson was getting underway. But it was a good omen, and even though the draw prevented us from seeing a Fanning/Wilson final played out properly a year after the sharkus interruptus, it was an excellent semi and a great ramp for Mick, who was unstoppable, even against John Florence. I watched the final on the big screen at the Quiksilver Boardriders bar at Echo Beach in Bali, where every Fanning power gouge and hack got a standing ovation and a spray of Bintang. Mick might be a bit old school but he is still the surfer’s surfer. And now, despite having declared 2016 a “rest year”, he is number five on the world rankings and an outside shot at another world title. With the shark off his back and the fire back in his belly, will he show up in Tahiti next month with guns blazing? I wouldn’t be surprised. Remembering the summer of '73 FOR my sins I’ve been working on a memoir, hoping to recall the saltier moments of a misspent youth before it’s too late. But perhaps it is too late already! I’m pretty good on childhood, and have been able to cross-check with two sisters whose brain cells are pretty much intact, but when it comes to early adulthood, about the time the drugs began to kick in, I’m all over the shop. What did they say about the '60s? If you can remember them, you weren’t really there. Well, it’s a bit like that. Take, for example, the European summer of 1973, when a mate and I hitch-hiked and surfed from Cornwall to Portugal and back again with virtually no money. It was a momentous time in the world, with a new war in the Middle East, oil and power shortages and three-day working weeks across the UK, and the constant threat of terror not from Islam but from Ireland. For us, fresh from a newspaper office in Newcastle, NSW, it was a rollicking boy’s own adventure, free-
Fanning of Africa. camping on rat-infested foreshores, living on sardines and cheap wine in plastic bottles, surfing alone at a fastbreaking wave in front of the sardine processing plant that decades later became known as Supertubos. The diary I kept of these travels was lost long ago, but I ripped through my account confidently, with just one article I had written for the National Times to guide me. It was called, “No money, no wife, no friends - only sardines: a taste of life in Portugal”. The quote referred to our sardine-rich fisherman friend
Pictures: WSL Francisco who had returned from the battlefields of Angola with what is now known as post traumatic stress disorder, but it could have just as easily referred to us. An outcast among his own, Francesco would trade sardines for a broken English conversation, about the weather, about the rats, about a woman he saw at the market and fancied. But man cannot live on sardines alone. Madame Sirly who owned the bar on the pier would not take conversation for wine, for example, and our pile of escudos was dwindling
rapidly. For decades I have been telling the story of how we went to Lisbon and sold our blood to the Red Cross for $US20. For me, it illustrated not only the extent of our poverty but also the moral ambiguity of the time. When I came to write about it in detail, however, I found I could not recall certain aspects of the process. Like, was it a spotless clinic or a dingy back room up some dodgy alley? Did we get paid on the spot? I couldn’t remember, and this episode certainly wasn’t in my National Times article, so with an hour or so to kill in Brisbane Airport the other night, I phoned my travelling companion, still a best mate although one I see too little. “We didn’t sell our blood,” he said matter-of-factly. “They wouldn’t take it. We traipsed around Lisbon all morning and were rejected at three

Did we surf Supertubos alone day after day?” He’s a good mate and he’s agreed to read the whole section relating to our travels. I cut and pasted it and emailed it to him immediately, before he changed his mind, but I haven’t heard back yet, and frankly I’m dreading his email. If I can get one story so fundamentally wrong, and tell it over and over again for more than 40 years, how many other stories have I got wrong? The publisher is screaming for the manuscript, the pressure is on. I think I’ll just duck out for a quick head-clearing surf and get back to my Google fact-checking.

Bumper crowd for celebrations Between the
flags RON LANE
ON Friday evening, from about 5.30pm, Noosa's Main Beach was again crowded with families enjoying what we have to offer; only this time it was different to the usual family swim. A big crowd of families, tourists and party goers gathered in front of the surf club to celebrate the opening of the Noosa Long Weekend Festival. With bongo rhythms plus dancing girls it definitely set a party atmosphere. In the words of surf club manager Anton Mogg: “This is what Noosa and Main Beach is all about”. Well done to all involved. On Sunday, the Noosa Heads S.L.S.C. in conjunction with Tourism Noosa played host to the Hydrothon Surf Carnival. With a slogan that read “This event will inspire individuals to embrace new challenges,” the stage was set for a great day of surf competition. Based on the Iron Man concept, swimmers covered a distance of 1km, ski paddled 9km and a beach run of 8km. Mother Nature was at her best with a sunny day plus a one to two metre waves that ensured great competition. Perhaps the most interesting concept was the fact that the entrants both male and female, lifesavers and triathlon were of all ages; from outstanding teenagers such as the Wil-
Hydrothon Noosa: the event that will "inspire individuals to embrace new challenges". Picture: SurfShots Noosa liams brothers Cooper and Bailey, Grace Kaihau and Ethan Coates just to name a few. Among the golden oldies were Darren Mercer, Peter French, Dave Sherlock and the evergreen Doug Ripper (of Noosa), who at 54 put in a great performance to finish the course. However the big attraction was the presence of Jordan Mercer in the ladies' and Ali Day in the men's; with
Mercer finishing first in the ladies and Day taking honors in the men's category. At the completion of the day's events it was a pleasure to watch Jordan Mercer. This young lady spends so much time talking and signing autographs for her many young admirers that it takes her an hour to leave the beach. A gesture well noted by
the kids plus the mums and dads. Surfing life at its best. Interesting to note that all ski paddlers wore safety vests and with some getting caught in the break, it was easy to see why. Under the sponsorship of Toyota, representative Steve Southwell said: “The day is a 100 per cent charity event with funds going to assist
Tainui Kaihau in his medical fundraiser appeal”. Considering the surf conditions and the distance of the courses announcer, Ty Dawker did a good job to keep spectators informed of the ever changing positions of the contestants. As usual, all events were well covered by safety patrols with IRB crews starting their day at 6.30am and working through until noon. Lifesavers such as Chris Grandemange, Trevor King and the Leckies are to be acknowledged. On Sunday the Mercer team, Jordan, her father and coach Darren, plus their supporters will leave for the annual Hawaii Molokai 2 Oahu marathon World Paddle Board Championship. Also going to compete will be Lachlan Lansdown, a young man who has been performing well in endurance races. The race which is conducted over a distance of 55km is one of the toughest in the world. We wish the contestants and their support team all the very best. The sudden appearance of Noosa Nob (Noosa Old Boy) Bob Kneale at the clubhouse on Sunday afternoon was well greeted by older members. It was Bob, who in the 1968/69 season started the first ever Noosa Nippers. As the Nipper movement in Australia was in the infant stages it was Bob who acted on behalf of the Noosa Club. In those days the new club emblem was the Seahorse and as the Nippers were small, they became known as the Noosa Seacolts - later to be renamed the Noosa Nippers.
Dolphins in their element U7: The wet weather didn’t dampen the spirits of the team as the Noosa Fins defeated the USC Barbarians 60-35. Dominos Pizza player of the match went to Rory Ramsden. U8: After three weeks without rugby the lads were buzzing with excitement and hardly noticed the conditions as they ran on to face this week’s opposition, Grammar Blues. In the end the under-8 Noosa Fins defeated Grammar Blue 45-15. U9: The under-9 Fins had been beaten by Caloundra in the first round, but this week they played their best game ever defeating the Caloundra Gold team 10-0.

It was a great weekend on the field for the Noosa Dolphins. score of 33-0. U10: The Noosa Red team went down to Brother Wolves 7-30. For most it was the first time playing on Sunshine Coast Stadium and the players gave their all in trying conditions. Pearl, Tom and Toby all ran strongly and Smith, Hunter and Dylan were ferocious in defence. U11: The Noosa Red team went down to the Maleny team 19-21 after the Reds shot out to an early lead. Maleny fought back and the scores were close in the dying min-
utes but it was Maleny who broke for a well-deserved win. U11: The Noosa Fins were on fire as they defeated St Andrew’s 52-7. It was the great structure and continual backing up that saw the Fins race in eight tries. U12: The Noosa Reds went down 7-52 to the Caloundra team at Stockland. The Red’s beat them first up this year and were hoping for a repeat, but Caloundra had other ideas and right from the start played some great wet-weather rugby.
Young Pirates give their all NINETEEN under-12 Noosa Pirates players headed to Gladstone last weekend to join 30 other teams in contesting the Jason Hetherington Cup. The carnival ran over three days and consisted of up to six 20-minute games, with all teams digging in and playing their best throughout the tournament. The Sunshine Coast was represented by both the Noosa noosatoday.com.au
Pirates team and the Caboolture Snakes, and it was these two teams that met in the quarter-final playoff. Caboolture proved too good for the Pirates, defeating the Noosa team by just four tries. The club wanted to thank everyone who helped out including coaching staff, management, first-aid, parents, players, fund-raisers and referees.

River fires up with results By JACK MANGROVE
trevally, including golden, diamond and big giant trevally. Early morning and late afternoon have been the prime times but there are still plenty of fish taken through the day especially when there is cloud cover. Micro jigs continue to be one of the standout lures for chasing trevally throughout the river and allow you to cover a lot of area and fish the entire water column. Soft plastics are another consistent producer with a good mixture of baitfish and prawn imitations producing the goods. Take the time to rig your plastics nice and straight to get the best results. Up on the ski runs, the odd jew-
fish has been coming from the deeper holes as well as large flathead up to 80cm - live baits have been the go ,with the good old herring doing it. As the weather improves this week, a trip out to North Reef and the Barwon Banks may be on the cards you should see some snapper, cobia, pearlies, sweetlip and amberjack. Using Micro jigs and soft plastics has seen anglers scoring some nice fish and are a great way to fish the bottom, using a lure the bait is not picked to pieces by the smaller fish and you tend to catch more legal fish. Sunshine Reef should also be firing and we are still see some good

Spanish and spotted mackerel are still cruising around and seem to take a liking to a lightly weighted large pilchard or yakka. On the beaches, tailor are still moving up the coast, with good schools reported around most of the coastal headlands.

WITH the offshore scene a little on the rough side, anglers tended to opt for the river last weekend with some great results. Starting at the river mouth, there have been plenty of quality bream being landed around the rocks at the mouth. Most anglers using fresh strips of mullet, whole small Hardy Heads and live bloodworms. Blackfish have also been on offer with the better fish coming at the top of the tide. Expect to find tailor and trevally also around the mouth harassing the
bait schools as they move into the river on the tide. On the other side of the river the Frying Pan has also seen good bream, tailor and trevally. This is the time of year you’ll find some very large tailor in our rivers and they are not afraid to take a lure off the surface - medium size poppers and walk the dog lures are a good option and provide plenty of entertainment as you see the fish crunch the lure. Some of my favourites are the larger Bassday Sugapens and the River2sea Bubble Pops. Woods Bays and The Noosa Sound have had mixed schools of
