Not my fave

ONCE again, Noosa District State High Schoolstudents did themselves proud with their dazzlingproduction of the musical ‘The Wizard of Oz’.

The audience was treated to a spectacular musicalperformance by the entire cast, but special mentionmust go to Lexi Kehl who played Dorothy, PaigeSalangsang, the scarecrow, Adam Robins, the tin man,Aki Yaguchi, the cowardly lion and MadeleineMcMahon, the wicked witch, who were brilliantly castand gave it their all.

I’ve been going to the school’s annual performancesfor years and am never ceased to be amazed by theprofessionalism and talent of these young playersand producers.

The acting, dancing, costumes, lighting and propscould easily match performances I’ve seen at the LyricTheatre.

There are certainly a few youngsters here who aredestined for a career on the stage.

Congratulations to all involved!

There’s no place like home

IT’S funny how some things in yourlife are a constant … or so you think,until they disappear. As I ate my por-ridge this morning out of a mixingbowl using a ladle as my spoon I hadto wonder … what’s happened to allmy kitchen stuff. I wasn’t using theselarge utensils because I was espe-cially hungry; it’s just that my knives,forks and spoons are disappearingas mysteriously as they arrived. Idon’t remember ever purchasing acutlery set, just as I don’t rememberbuying all the weird big cutlery (Idon’t even know what the genericname for these things is) like thosebig spoons with slots in them, eggrings, chicken scissors etc. They’vejust always been there and of courseTHEY still are … it’s only the every-day items that are missing.

I gave up long ago wonderingabout the whole missing sock thing,I shrug off the odd missing shoe, Iscoff at those with matching earringsand I have never been able to lay thetable for the occasional ‘special din-ner’ with matching anything. Nowthat table is going to be more eclec-tic than ever. Next to someone’s din-ner plate (hopefully the one that says‘Mother’ that has been hanging onthe wall - Mother’s Day circa 1996)there will be a spatula, garlic crusherand single chop stick … perhapssomeone will eventually put that ap-ple corer to good use. Good luck withthat spag bog.

Luckily I think mix and match din-ing is now quite the in-thing … I mayhave just taken it to a whole otherlevel.

So there you have it … cutlery,crockery and corers …

Where’s the rolled up Rag?

For those who would like to enterthe ‘Where’s the Rolled Up Rag’Competition, here’s what it’s about:In each edition of the Cooroy Ragwe are placing the above photo(smaller version) in one of theadvertisements for you to try andfind. We’ll be making it as difficultas possible (a bit like ‘Where’sWally).All you have to do is email us at

[email protected] orpost your entry to: ‘Where’s therolled up rag competition’, PO Box898, Cooroy, 4563, and let us knowwhich ad you found it in, your nameand contact details.

The first correct entry drawn willwin a $25 dinner voucher at theCooroy RSL Club. Entries will bedrawn on June 27th.

Last issue’s winner was Mrs JudyBrittain from Cooroy who foundthe ‘rolled up Rag’ in the SauersProduce & Garden Centre ad onPage 33.

We’ve had endless surveys to tell us what we know,That people are getting fatter and obesity is all the go.It’s not just the oldies either, many children are obese too,If you watch the people in the street, you’ll agree that this is true.We seem to be obsessed with food with eating to excess,And wonder why our clothes are tighter, the trousers and the dress.

It is a constant struggle, this battle of the bulge,With so many temptations to surrender and indulge.Obesity sufferers must be uncomfortable, loaded with that extra size,Big rears, big fronts, big hips and big thighs.More chins that a Hong Kong telephone book,One feels sorry for those with that unattractive look.

Many children have probably after school played a computer game,No energetic exercise, to slim that childish frame.The magazines are packed with diets on the fat attack,And they also print rich recipes to put the weight right back!Television has cooking shows, preparing luscious dishes,What happened to the age old tale, about the loaves and fishes?

Three course meals of no small size, to fill the family tummy,Conveniently already cooked, to spare the working mummy.Meals can be bought already prepared, you only have to heat it,Then sit in front of the tele, and watch Neighbours while you eat it.You can just phone up for take away, fried fish or chicken or chips,A variety of possibilities, which may finish on your hips.

Are we too concerned with eating, in this food-rich nation,While some third world people, are facing mass starvation?It is a cause for concern, this problem of over weight,With the cost to our national health, impossible to estimate.Because we live on the fat of the land, there’s no doubting that,Are we in danger of becoming known as the Land of the Fat?

Big square meals mean big round figures

WE have all heard the statistics that the numberone fear of many people is to speak in public and infact Death by Fire rates lower on the list of fears.While we know that realistically this would not betrue it is a fact that many people are frightened tospeak up in public.

The town of Cooroy will soon be graced with aToastmasters club to help locals overcome this fearand become better communicators and leaders.

The club will be backed by Toastmasters Interna-tional which is the leading communication and lead-ership organization in the world. Since 1924, morethan 4 million people around the world have be-come more confident speakers and leaders becauseof their participation in Toastmasters. Today Toast-masters International has a membership of 260 000with 12 500 club worldwide.

Club members grow in confidence as they learnby participating in and working through a struc-tured communication and leadership program. Feed-back is provided by club members through evalua-tions which is the cornerstone of effective Toast-masters clubs.

Meetings usually consist of a variety of segmentsincluding prepared speeches, impromptu speaking,evaluations and many other fun and engaging seg-ments. Members also learn chairmanship and getthe chance to learn business meeting procedure.

Sponsors Richard Hansen and Nicole Nowell havebeen Toastmasters members for a number of yearsand both see a tremendous opportunity for a com-munity club in the area.

Richard who has recently moved to the Cooroyarea had been prompted to start a Toastmasters clubin Cooroy after enquiries by some local businesspeople. He says that Toastmasters has consider-ably changed his life and he communicates moreconfidently. “I still remember my first meeting andam amazed by the changes I have seen in myselfand other people. I recall one business women whosent her staff to the front counter in her shop be-cause she was to scared to talk to people. She haschanged this through Toastmasters and now is theface of a successful commercial laundry business”.

A demonstration meeting will be held at CooroyLibrary on the 4th of July, 2011 starting at 6:30pmand finishing at 8:00pm. An invitation is extendedto any member of the community to attend this meet-ing and subsequent meetings which will be held onthe 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month.

THE resounding success of CooroyFusion has been followed with callsfrom the community to host the eventon an annual basis.

Cooroy Fusion was big. Up to 2,000people attended the all day communityevent at Mill Place on Saturday 21 Mayto help celebrate the first birthday ofCooroy Library. There wasn’t a car parkto be found in Cooroy as peopleflocked to the library, Butter FactoryArts Centre and Lower Mill site.

Division 12 Councillor Lew Brennansaid at every turn on the precinct therewas an activity or workshop occurring.

“There were rides, market stalls, greatfood and non-stop entertainment,” CrBrennan said.

“The great turn-out and support fromthe community combined with the suc-cess of the non-stop entertainment anddiverse range of activities for all agegroups has cemented Cooroy Fusionas a yearly celebration.”

The Gubbi Gubbi dancers were ahighlight, providing an unforgettablecultural experience through their magi-cal presentation of song and dance.

Folk singer and songwriter, AylaScanlon from Noosa Christian Collegewasn’t deterred by rain showers andher dulcet tones ranged movinglythrough the amphitheatre.

Performers from Noosa District HighSchool entertained the crowds with aside-slapping Monty Python comicskit. The school band played whilst thedrama group enacted a physical thea-tre piece using costume suits and bal-loons to great effect. The library’s firstbirthday cake was shared amongst the

Cooroy Fusion will be anannual community festival

crowds to the tunes of ‘Happy Birth-day’ from the Pomona Choir.

In the Fitness and Wellbeing areathere was a squatting competitionhosted by The Workout Shed. Tai Chiand yoga demonstrations comple-mented the fast pace of Cooroy Gym-nastics Club with their running, tum-bling and jumping skills.

Local and national authors includ-ing Antoinette O’Conner, AnnRickard, Annette Hughes, AngeTaktis and Jackie Hellwig intrigued thecrowds with their personal stories andanecdotes about the joys and sorrowsof writing.

It was the Rooftop venue that reallyhad the party jumping with a ‘killer’performance by local singer song-writer Asa Broomhall. Asa is an inter-nationally renowned rock, folk andblues performer and it was his first timeplaying to a Cooroy audience. It wasalso an opportunity for new andemerging music artists to strut theirstuff on the main stage with a mix ofhip hop and rock tunes.

Cooroy Library’s Liz Bleechmore –who coordinated the event – con-veyed her gratitude to the sponsorsof Cooroy Fusion.

“This wonderful community eventhappened because of the generoussupport of Sunshine Coast Council,Bendigo Bank, Cooroy Rag andCooroy Chamber of Commerce,” shesaid.

The annual Cooroy Fusion commu-nity celebration will certainly be anevent on the Cooroy calendar not tobe missed.

A NEW exhibition ‘Colours of the Carnivale’ at Dis-cover Eumundi Heritage and Visitor Centre show-cases the colour and creativity that is the Austral-ian Body Art Carnivale.

The exhibition features all the entries and winningimages from this year ’s Australian Body ArtCarnivale photographic competition

Manager of Discover Eumundi, Wendy Birrell,says there’s no doubt that the event is a photogra-pher’s dream, and it’s evident by the high calibre ofentries in this year’s photographic competitions.

“We’ll put together a comprehensive album ofprints as well as a digital display of images from thewhole Carnivale, including images of wearable art,pavement art, car bonnet art and the masked gallerywalk and street parade – from this year and pastyears,” says Wendy.

“And aside from the impressive photographs ondisplay, there are also examples of body paints andtools, along with some of the incredible wearableart garments and car bonnet art. “A number of im-ages from this year’s and past Body Art Carnivaleswill be for sale through the duration of the exhibi-tion,” she says.

The Australian Body Art Carnivale exhibition willbe in the old police cells exhibition space at Dis-cover Eumundi until Monday 8 August 2011.

ON June 15, 1976 a beautiful baby boywas born at St. George hospital NSW.Life for husband Chris and mother Suewas about to change, having been toldtheir son Clinton Stanley was born withDown syndrome. After the initial shockand a river of tears, they were told theydidn’t have to take him home, that theyhad the option of leaving him at thehospital. This thought never occurredto Sue and Chris, they had been wait-ing for six years to have a baby andthey wanted to take him home. It didn’ttake long before Chris and Sue invitedparents who had similar problems intotheir home for a chat and cuppa. Thesemorning tea sessions were a great com-fort knowing they were not alone, giv-ing each other much needed supportand direction. The news soon spreadand numbers grew, too many for Sueand Chris’s small home. So it wasn’tlong before Sue approached the Mayorof their local council for much neededfunds to start an Activity Group.

The Revesby Activity Group forHandicapped Children commenced onFebruary, 1977 at Revesby Pre-SchoolKindergarten. The group met eachMonday and started with 15 familiesenrolled with a paid OccupationalTherapist. At this time Clinton was alsoenrolled in the Macquarie UniversityEarly Intervention Program where heattended until he started Kindergartenat Greys Point School.

Sue became a Mum for the second timewith son Ben and once the boys wereoff to school she became involved inthe Family Day Care for HandicappedChildren. Sue volunteered to care for alittle 3 year old girl, Kelly with severebrain damage, once a week to give her

A mother’s love pushes the boundariesMum a much needed break. Sue also workedin a restaurant 3 days a week and four nights,Chris and Sue worked together hand in hand“so to speak”.

It wasn’t until Chris, Sue, Clinton and Benmoved to Queensland that Sue started morevoluntary work. Sue started volunteeringwork for Special Olympics in 1993 and hascontinued to do voluntary work with peoplewith intellectual disabilities until the presentday. She has held many committee positionsover several years on the Sunshine Coastincluding Media Person, Uniform Co-ordinator, Secretary, Vice-Chairperson andChairperson. As a member of the State Man-agement Committee for Special OlympicsQueensland, Sue held the position of Re-gional Delegate for the Sunshine Coast Re-gion and Director of Families and Volunteersfor many years. Sue was Games Director forthe Sunshine Coast Region’s Spring Week-end Games, she co-ordinated sports for ath-letes from all over Queensland.

Following this she started a tennis programfor Special Olympics at Nambour and asQueensland’s Team Manager, attended theSpecial Olympics NSW Invitational StateTennis Games in Sydney in 1996. As Queens-land Delegate she attended the Special Ol-ympics National Conference in Launceston,Tasmania in 1997. In the same year, as GamesDirector for a two day Special OlympicsQueensland Invitational State Games, sheco-ordinated tennis and athletic competi-tions for athletes attending from all overQueensland, New South Wales, Victoria andWestern Australia. This position continuedfor several State and Regional Games inQueensland for swimming and tennis.

In 1998 Sue attended the Queensland StateTraining Camp and Team Building weekendon the Gold Coast and following this trav-elled to the Special Olympics National Gamesin Hobart as Team Manager and AssistantCoach for tennis. In 1999, Sue started a ten-nis program for Special Olympics in Eumundi.Both the Nambour and Eumundi tennis pro-grams are still operating today. She was alsoGames Director for the first Special Olym-pics Invitational National Basketball Gamesheld at Caloundra with athletes participatingfrom ACT, NSW, South Australia, Victoria andQueensland.

In 2000 Sue became Special OlympicsQueensland Director of Tennis which in-volved ‘come and try tennis days’ and twoday annual camps for athletes. In this sameyear she was involved in forming a commit-tee for USM to launch the first NoosaTriathlon for people with disabilities and isstill an active member of this event each year.In 2001 Sue was asked to present at the Spe-cial Olympics Queensland State Games Work-shop in Brisbane and became TournamentDirector for the Queensland State TennisGames which made selections for the Na-tional Games in 2002 in Sydney. Sue attendedthese games as Team Manager for the

Queensland Aquatic Team. In 2003 Sue hada well earned rest and travelled overseaswith her husband Chris and son Clinton.With coaching from Sue, Clinton partici-pated in several Masters Swimming Cham-pionships in England winning many med-als.

In more recent times, Sue became awareof the formation of an organisation calledDown Syndrome International SwimmingOrganisation (DSISO) in England. This or-ganisation was formed for swimmers withDown syndrome to compete at an Interna-tional level. The next World Championshipswere to be held in Durban South Africa.Sue contacted organizers in Durban formore information and a team was made upof 5 swimmers, one of them was Clintonand 2 coaches from Queensland. With onlyfour months preparation and great excite-ment the Australian team and their familiestravelled to Durban South Africa in 2004with Sue as Coach and Team Manager.

Despite the size of the team, they re-turned home triumphant with worldrecords, many medals and personal besttimes. A segment was aired on National tel-evision “A Current Affair” which recog-nized the swimmers. Following the successof the team, Sue wanted to share the op-portunity with swimmers with Down syn-drome throughout Australia. Momentumgathered for the formation of an Australianwide organisation that could assist thedevelopment of people with Down syn-drome, through the sport of swimming andcompetition. In January 2005 with the sup-port of some dedicated parents andcoaches, the Down Syndrome Down Un-der Swimming Organisation (DSDUSO)was formed with Sue as Chairperson, aposition she still holds today. The NationalBody (DSDUSO) now has state delegatesfrom New South Wales, Victoria, WesternAustralia, Northern Territory and Queens-land. Since formation of DSDUSO, notablepeople have pledged their support in vari-ous ways.

INITIAL works to prepare for an improved, moreenvironmentally-friendly sewage treatment plant atCooroy, are about to commence.

As part of the Cooroy Sewage Treatment Plant(STP) upgrade, a small area of non-remnant vegeta-tion adjacent to the existing plant will be clearedand fenced. Unitywater Project Manager, Infrastruc-ture Delivery, David Goodall said all necessary meas-ures would be taken to protect the environmentduring vegetation clearing.

The existing Cooroy STP is nearing 40 years ofage and the planned upgrade will ensure continuedcompliance with environmental license requirementsand cater for future population growth.

The $15 million upgrade is part of Unitywater’scommitment to protecting the environment and pro-viding a quality, reliable sewage treatment serviceto Sunshine Coast residents.

The Development Application for the project wasapproved by council in May 2010 and constructionwill commence in November this year, with commis-sioning expected to be complete by December 2012.

An ageing generationof cashed-up babyboomers will demand themedical technology thatdiagnoses disease ear-lier, find cures and im-proves quality of life.The issue for govern-ments, of course, will behow to fund healthcareas the population ages.

As fears of terrorismintensify, companieswant to know their peo-ple and equipment aresafe and their data andintellectual property areprotected, and compa-nies are springing up tomeet this demand.

Managing people’smoney at all stages intheir life cycle – housing,business, investmentand superannuation – isa growth industry thatcan only get bigger.

In the late 1990s, com-munications and infor-mation technology – es-pecially the Internet –were going to transformbusiness; then came thetech wreck of 2000. To-day, IT is back biggerthan ever as companies,large and small, embraceit. No longer is IT just away to cut costs; it is

becoming a competitivepoint of difference inhow to attract and keepcustomers. And the in-satiable appetite of busi-ness for better and fastercommunications showsno sign of abating.

In business servicesand hospitality, it re-flects a society that hasmoved from a “do-it-yourself” to a “do-it-for-me” mentality. For exam-ple, a quarter of allhousehold functionsare outsourced today,generating significantspending on goods andservices. And a youngergeneration, in particular,is far more interested inbuilding their own busi-nesses to meet this de-mand than chasing a life-long career in one com-pany.

AT a small donation ceremony on Tuesday 7th June,the craft group ‘Patches of Cooroy’ handed a chequefor $1500 to the Cancer Council Queensland, fundsthat were raised mostly through the Biggest Morn-ing Tea held in May. Jodi Durkin, the Council’sRegional Fundraising Co-ordinator, accepted thecheque from Brenda Shipp, a Patches of Cooroymember who is a breast cancer survivor.

POWER line meeting in Parliament: Wemade some more progress on our fightagainst the proposed Powerlink project(Woolooga to West Cooroy power line)in Parliament, when representativesfrom PAGE and Noosa Biospherejoined me to meet with representativesfrom the Energy Minister’s office andthe Energy Sector Monitoring Unit.

I organised the meeting so we couldclearly explain to the Energy SectorMonitoring Unit and the Government,that our community is concerned aboutthe independence of this unit to inves-tigate this matter without bias.

As a result of our meeting we receiveda commitment from the Governmentthat, once this unit receives thePowerlink application, and before fin-ishing its considerations of the pro-posal, PAGE representatives will havean opportunity to speak to their writ-ten submission.

Morning tea raises funds for cancer:Congratulations to the Belli Hall Com-mittee, led by Neville and MargaretLong, who raised a fantastic $2000 forcancer at a morning tea fundraiser.

A good crowd attended, in-cluding visitors from Cooroy.

Object now to inflated landvaluations: I urge all land owners liv-ing in the Sunshine Coast hinterlandareas to make an objection to the Gov-ernment land valuations they wouldhave received recently.

It was clear that the Government paidinflated prices for the properties it pur-chased for the proposed TravestonDam, and unfortunately the newvaluations are based on the effectthese inflated prices had on the realestate market.

These inflated valuations will directlyaffect the cost of your Council ratesand Government land tax.

Everyone needs to lodge an objec-tion, arguing that these prices arebased on the Government’s inflatedpurchase prices of Mary Valley prop-erties, and the valuations cannot beused as realistic land valuations. Land

Push continues to quash YandinaQuarry proposal: Senior staff from theDeputy Premier’s office have made itclear that the Government will not in-tervene in the Sunshine Coast RegionalCouncil deliberation over the unpopu-lar Yandina Creek Quarry proposal atthis stage.

Staff advised me and a delegationfrom the Yandina Creek Progress As-sociation that the Government wouldnot call in this application until theyhave had a chance to consider Coun-cil’s decision.

I have asked what the minimum crite-ria would be for the government to in-tervene in this application, and depart-ment staff have committed to gettingback to me to advise on what groundsthe government would consider re-viewing this application or the Coun-cil’s decision (should Council approvethe quarry).

New Committee System: During Par-liamentary sittings in May, agreementwas reached to radically change howParliament operates. The new Commit-tee System will see all proposed newchanges to our laws go to an all-partycommittee before Parliament can voteon the new laws.

It makes no difference whether theproposed new law is introduced by anALP, NLP or an Independent member.These new all-party committees will beable to hold public hearings, questionpublic servants, and make recommen-dations for changes to the proposedlaw if they feel this is appropriate.

It is disappointing that the Govern-ment and Opposition refused to sup-port the Independent Members’ pro-posal to allow the committees to initi-ate investigations into important gov-ernment issues. I believe that if thesecommittees were able to independentlyinitiate such investigations, it wouldenable them to look into cases like thePatel case, and prevent such injusticesfrom getting out of hand.

media such as Facebook to promote their busi-ness, many responses are sceptical, but consid-ering over 80% of businesses are now usingFacebook as a marketing platform, the trend isclear and the pace is accelerating!

Discovering social media such as Facebook andTwitter, as marketing strategies, transforms one’swhole approach to doing business. It is not amatter of whether to do it or not….it is actuallyessential. And the reason? Because it is the newword-of-mouth way of advertising. Anyone whohas been in a bricks and mortar business knowsthat both negative and positive word-of-mouthis very powerful. Today, it has become at least100 times more so, as the average person onFacebook, for example, has over 130 friends, andeach of them also, and so on. So your good (orbad) service or product, can become broadlyknown, just at the click of a mouse.

Social media really is a marketing revolution - itis the 21st century way of attracting and connect-ing with others, some of whom may become pay-ing customers. Further, most of the tools in so-cial media are free – yes, free, or at a fraction ofthe cost of some other forms of advertising!Begin right now! Register on Facebook, set up aPersonal Profile, then become an Administratorof your own Facebook Page and begin to attractFans who are potential customers. Facebook lim-its you to 5000 friends on your personal pagebut you may have unlimited fans on your Busi-ness Page! Let your imagination grasp the po-tential of that for your business, whether onlineor offline. So make a plan for establishing yourvery own community around your business. Goodplanning from the outset will: help your targetedcustomers find you; have those customers re-turn for more; incentivise those customers to telltheir friends so your marketing goes ‘viral’!

STAY prepared. That’s the message fromSunshine Coast Council despite reports ofan end to Queensland’s recent extremeweather. Disaster Management Chair, CrTim Dwyer said locals should remain alertfor possible natural disasters during thecoming months.

“The Bureau of Meteorology has an-nounced an end to the La Nina climatephenomenon that brought record break-ing rainfalls, devastating floods and cy-clones to Queensland but that doesn’tmean that we can afford to become com-placent when it comes to mother nature,”he said.

“History shows that some of the Sun-shine Coast’s heaviest rainfall periods haveoccurred during the winter months, includ-ing flooding in the Noosa River area inAugust 2007.”

Cr Dwyer said all residents should pre-

Mother nature mellows but weather warnings remainpare household emergency plans, just incase. “The January floods showed justhow quickly tragedies can happen so it’svital that everyone is prepared for anythingmother nature can produce,” he said.

Emergency Management Queenslandarea director Andrew Wyatt said there werefour simple steps residents should take toensure they’re prepared.

“The first step involves researching haz-ards and disaster management arrange-ments in your community. This involvesconsidering potential hazards which mayimpact your community. You can find thisinformation through contacting your localcouncil,” he said.

“The second step involves discussingpossible scenarios and responses in yourhousehold; for example what you’ll all doin the event of each emergency, how you’llkeep in touch if family members are sepa-

rated and how you’ll alll prepare for evacu-ation.

“The third step is all important and re-lated to recording important details for youremergency plan. This should include emer-gency numbers, medical services, localcouncil, electricity and other service pro-viders, insurance providers, relatives,friends and each householders’ personalcontact details.

“The fourth step involves preparing anemergency kit and storing it in a safe andaccessible place. All households shouldreview and practise their emergency planthree times a year, taking into account thechanging needs of all members of the fam-ily.”

The first speaker willbe Kate Coupe, who will talk about herwork at Odanadi to help women andchildren establish a permaculturegarden. Odanadi is a grassroots or-ganisation based in Mysore, SouthIndia, which is working to combat hu-man trafficking for the purposes ofsexual exploitation, domestic servitudeand bonded labour. Odanadi believesbuilding relationships is the most ef-fective way to fight human traffickingat its source. By mobilizing local com-munities, schools, students, police,grassroots organizations and the ju-diciary, Odanadi aims to create a peo-ple’s movement against this abuse.It

Permaculture Noosaalso seeks to tackle all forms of vio-lence against women, including domes-tic violence and child marriages.

Kate is currently back home in Aus-tralia but says, “The seeds we plantedthe last day I was there have all startedsprouting and the established plantsare looking a lot more healthier.”

The second speakers will be AndrewMaitland and Dee Humphreys who willtalk about pruning fruit trees.

Andrew is a qualified horticulturistand arborist (AGM Horticulture, sus-tainable tree and garden care).

Dee is a self–confessed “mega-hacker” and no sort of expert pruner,but is happy to pass on the “crazyideas that seem to work for her”.

ONE of the most fre-quently asked ques-tions we get here at Sun-shine Coast Vets is“What can I do to makemy pets breath smellbetter?“. The answerquite simply is “Cleantheir teeth”, howeverthere are many more rea-sons to clean a dog orcat’s teeth than just get-ting rid of the unpleas-ant aroma of bad breath.

Does your pet need to go to the dentist?

Dental disease affectsall pets to some degreewithout regular teethcleaning. The “badbreath” pets get is dueentirely to the buildupof nasty bacteria whichover time form a thicklayer called “tartare”.This tartare extends upunder the gum line andas these bacteria multi-ply damaging sub-stances are released

which cause painful in-flammation to the gums.Whilst your pet may ap-pear normal and not“complain” effectivelythis gum disease or“gingivitis” as it iscalled is like us havingulcers throughout ourmouth.

Whilst we may meetfriends for dinner andget on with our dailyroutine inflammation inthe mouth is painful andannoying and causesongoing discomfort un-til healed. Once theteeth are cleaned andrelieved of this bacterialcoating the gum healthimproves and uncom-fortable inflammationdisappears making for amuch happier mouthand animal.

From a long term pointof view the effects oftartare buildup are farmore serious than justbad breath. Bacteriafrom dirty teeth enter theblood through the gumsand cause a blockingup effect on the kidneyswhich in the long termcan contribute to kidneyfailure and even death.These nasty bacteriacan also stick to theheart valves causingcauliflower like growthsto grow here causing a

deadly condition knownas “valvular endocardi-tis”.

“At Sunshine CoastVets at Pomona we prideourselves and enjoy tak-ing a very proactive ap-proach to treating andpreventing dental dis-ease. We have state ofthe art dental and anaes-thetic equipment whichallows us to safely scaleand polish your petsteeth making themsqueaky clean. All den-tal procedures are per-formed under generalunaesthetic and includeIntravenous fluids, painrelief and antibiotics.”

All pets should have adental checkup at leastonce per year. This canbe done at any time usu-ally coinciding with vac-cination , heart worm in-jection or other routineprocedures.

Commonly asked ques-tions: Will my pet needto stay overnight? No.Dentals do involve ageneral anaesthetic butare performed as a dayprocedure so your petwill be ready to go homethe same afternoon.

What if my pet is old?Will it be too dangerousfor him to have an anaes-thetic? No. In most casesif your dog’s heart and

lungs are functioningwell enough to walk upthe street or chase a ballthey are more than ca-pable of coping with ananaesthetic procedure.All animals anaesthe-tized at Sunshine CoastVets are placed on Intra-venous fluids as stand-ard procedure. Thishelps to maintain ahealthy blood pressurethroughout the proce-dure as well as support-ing liver and kidneyfunction. This is done atno extra cost.

How much will it cost?A standard scale andpolish costs $180 andincludes sedation priorto the procedure, painrelief, Intravenous fluidtherapy prior to andthroughout the proce-dure and a long actingantibiotic injection.

Buzz, Brooke ,Brookeand Selina are more thanhappy to answer anyother questions or con-cerns you have regard-ing your pets teeth orany other general petqueries or health ques-tions you may have.

THE first string of cold nights has tradition-ally sent every rat or mouse in the districtstraight into our roof cavities. Combine thatwith an exceptionally high summer rainfalland you have conditions that have causedthe highest rodent population Eastern Aus-tralia has seen in nearly 20 years. You onlyhave to do a Google search for “Mouse plague2011” and a host of links to recent newspa-per articles pops up.

As a pest controller myself I have experi-enced a dramatic increase in rodent relatedwork and many of my suppliers are strug-gling to meet the demand for rodent controlproducts. With Cooroy, Eumundi,Cootharaba and Peregian Springs areas be-ing dominated by mice whereas Doonan,Noosa, and Sunrise Beach areas being domi-nated by rats. There reputation as a pest islegendary because of their ability to contami-nate and spoil food, spread disease, andcause physical damage combined with theprolific rate at which they reproduce. Thebiggest concern for homeowners is a rodentshabit of chewing electrical wiring often caus-ing dangerous conditions and expensive re-pairs. Another factor which many peoplearen’t aware of is the fact that rodents areincontinent which means they basically drib-ble urine where ever they go, including yourkitchen bench.

Another misconception is “it’s okay coz

Beware of things that go bump in the night!they’re native rats”. The fact is native ratsgenerally avoid human habitation and theculprit is often the introduced Rattus rattus,commonly called the Black or Roof Rat whichis very different in appearance to the typicalintroduced Brown Rat Rattus norvegicuswhich most people associate with. The otherfact that most homeowners underestimate isthe extent of the problem. 1 or 2 rats living inyour roof go about their daily routine peace-fully and quietly causing minimal noise , how-ever when these rats reproduce and theiryoung begin to reach maturity , that’s whendominance and territory jostles begin andthe typical “bump in night noises” begin. Soif you’re hearing or seeing rodent activity,then you’ve got a problem that needs to bedealt with.

Unfortunately controlling a rodent popula-tion is limited to traps and baits for the home-owner, with traps typically only controllingthe “young and dumb“ individuals. Baitingwith rodent baits available from your local su-permarket can often be enough to control asmall or recent infestation.

For more persistent activity it’s perhaps bestto engage the services of a professional suchas myself. For more information or tips on ro-dent control check outwww.lagunapestcontrol.com.au or phone JayTurner at Laguna Pest Control on 5449 1765,mobile 0409 217 328.

THE lives of two of Noosa’s best-knownand most-loved personalities will be cel-ebrated next Saturday (18th June) in adouble ceremony at the Lake MacdonaldAmphitheatre in Cooroy.

Jim and Ida Duncan were well knownthroughout Noosa and the surroundingarea for their selfless dedication to chari-table and benevolent causes over a pe-riod of more than 30 years – Ida as anoutgoing and generous hostess to, andorganiser of, a multitude of fund-raisingevents and projects; Jim as a dedicatedRotarian, enthusiastic and experiencedprivate pilot, vintage car lover, and erst-while adventurer. He was a charter mem-ber of both the Rotary Club of NoosaHeads and the Noosa Beach Classic CarClub (his 1924 vintage Bentley was al-most as iconic as Jim himself!) and was,in every sense of the word, a “one-off”,known to many, loved by all who knewhim.

Both Jim, who died earlier this year af-ter a long illness, and Ida, who passedaway in 2009, will be remembered fortheir tireless endeavours to help makeNoosa a better, happier place in whichto live. Their joint efforts on behalf ofits citizens enriched the lives of all thosetouched by their magic.

Although Saturday June 18th has beendesignated “Jim’s day”, it will also giveall of those attending the opportunityto commemorate Ida’s role not only inJim’s life, but in the development of theamphitheatre and the Botanical Gardensin which it stands. A separate ceremonywill see the unveiling of a specially-com-missioned plaque officially renamingthis unique outdoor venue the “IdaDuncan Memorial Amphitheatre”.

A tree-planting ceremony will then fol-

Jim and Ida Duncan - In Memoriam

Presidents and members of RotaryClubs from Noosa and other Sunshine Coastcentres have all been invited to attend, andall those who knew Jim and Ida, and whowant to come to celebrate two lives welllived, or just to say goodbye, are welcome.

Members of the Noosa Beach Classic CarClub – of which Jim was the proud bearer ofmembership card Number 8 – will form aguard of honour with their vintage and clas-

sic steeds lining the walkway between theAmphitheatre and the location for the tree-planting ceremony.

Jim made innumerable friends and col-leagues during his long and interesting life,many of whom will have tales to tell, tributesto express and anecdotes to relate. If youare one of those wishing to say a few wordsin Jim’s memory please contact Rod Thomasof the Rotary Club of Noosa Heads on 0417802159 and let him know so that he can allo-cate you the appropriate time to speak andinclude your name on the program.

CONGRATULATIONS to James Hardcastle andBrendan Williams on earning their Scout Medal-lions! This is an achievement that Cooroy ScoutGroup has not seen since 2004 when our lastscout medallion was presented. We can all bevery proud of these two scouts and I’m sureanyone who has spent time with them wouldagree. They have made a huge effort in the scoutsection to achieve to the highest level they couldachieve and are very deserving of this award.Their final achievement in the scout section onthe path to the scout medallion was a hike fromBaroon Pocket dam to Gheerulla near Kenilworthover 4 days without adult assistance. They cer-tainly met the challenge and ensured that therest of their patrol did too in spite of appallingweather and challenging conditions. It was agreat achievement to finish off their final year inthe scout section. Cooroy Scout Group cel-ebrated the achievement with a special parade,games, a giant cake made by Ritchies BakeryCooroy and lots of delicious supper preparedby the parents. The parade was attended by ourDistrict Commissioner Pam Budge who was ourguest speaker. James and Brendan have nowgone up to the older venturer section and arealready planning many new adventures.

A VERY distressed young man attended thepolice station last week with his father andreported his pride a joy (skateboard) stolenfrom the Cooroy State School on Thursdaythe 26th of May, 2011. The skateboard is de-scribed as an ‘Original’ brand Pintail 37 LongBoard which is coloured Black and Purple.(see the attached photo) The skateboard wasstolen between school hours and other chil-dren are thought to have taken the board.The Cooroy Blue Light Disco will pay a cashreward to anyone who can provide informa-tion to police that leads to the return of theskateboard and return the smile to the youngmans face. Information can be providedanonymously to Crimestoppers on1800333000 or by phoning the Cooroy PoliceStation on 54425030.

A reasonably large sum of money wasfound on Friday the 27th of May in Wattlestreet, Cooroy. The finder has been honestenough to report the money as being foundso if you believe that you are the owner ofthat money which was lost on the 27th thencontact the police station and if you can namethe amount you lost and can prove the moneyis your property then it can be returned.

The tragic death of a “Boy in Blue” has hitthe Queensland Police Service hard with thetragic death of Senior Constable DamienLeeding who was killed whilst responding toa hostage situation linked with an armed rob-bery offence. Typically, the Cooroy commu-nity has responded with a steady stream ofwell wishers attending the station to offerthere sympathy and support. The CooroyStation has so far raised $300 by selling po-lice remembrance ribbons with all moneyraised to go to Damien’s young family. Thankyou to the Cooroy IGA for helping out withthe sale of the ribbons and hosting a policeremembrance day. Lyn Johansson, you’re atreasure. Also thank you to three gorgeousyoung children, Poet, Walu and Steel andtheir Mum who came in with three sympathycards and a lovely box of chocolates. Toquote one of the cards written by the chil-dren, “Dear Police Men. I am soroy for oneof your men has died now his kids will desad. I hope they fel deter soon.” (Spellingmistakes includedJ)….and to Mum, thequiver in my lower lip when I read the lovelycards was brought on by me trying to re-strain myself from eating the whole box ofchocolates rather than any welling of emo-tion?

The Cooroy Police also hosted an ArmedRobbery Awareness Night which was heldat the Cooroy Hotel last Monday Night. Ap-proximately 50 business owners and therestaff members attending and took part in avery informative night with the main mes-

sage being to be fully compliant with anydemands that the offender may make and toremain calm whilst taking in as mush infor-mation as possible to assist police with iden-tifying the offender. Senior Constable MarkReadman of the Crime Prevention Unit inMaroochydore passed on some useful tipsto the community on how to make their busi-nesses less attractive targets and how to tar-get harden there premises. Thanks go to theManager of the Cooroy Hotel, NikkiMacDonald for supplying the venue for thenight.

Hoons continue to menace our streets withburnouts appearing on several streets aroundtown. Please continue to report any instancesthat you may witness with an accurate de-scription of the car involved and full regis-tration details if possible. I can promise thatwe will do everything possible to try and iden-tify the vehicle and driver with the end resultbeing a trip to court and the confiscation ofthe offending motor car. Also, those of youwho travel on the Cooroy Noosa Road andregularly drive through the 80km/h zone onthe Tinbeerwah hill will have notice radarbeing conducted on this section of road.Please stick to the speed limit as Infringe-ment Notices are being issued on a regularbasis to drivers exceeding the 80km/h speedlimit. I know there will be people reading thisarticle and there immediate reaction will bethat it’s just “revenue raising” by the policeand that speed enforcement serves no use-ful purpose. This is certainly not the case.An example of how speed enforcement hasworked is the dramatic decrease in fatal andserious accidents on the Bruce Hwy betweenCooroy and Gympie. Police regularly patrolthe Highway targeting Life Endangering Of-fences. 18 months ago we were regularly is-suing five to six infringement notices a shifthowever now we rarely have to issue a sin-gle ticket as the vast majority of drivers stickto the 90km/h limit as they don’t want to riska fine. This increased speed compliance hashad the end result of decreasing accidentsand helping to save lives on our roads.

Great“Turnout for Network-

ing NightThe hinterlandis home to thousands ofhome based businessesfrom tradies to onlinebusinesses and oftennobody even knowsthey are there.

“And because theyaren’t located near otherbusinesses, they oftenaren’t as linked intowhat is happening intheir local area.

“Nights like these givethem a support network

Great turnout for networking night– it is really amazingsome of the differenttypes of businesses wehave located right herein Cooroy.

“With one of the cur-rent business trendsbeing to buy local tohelp support the localeconomy, we thought itwould help to hold anetworking night spe-cifically aimed at gettinghome based businessesto network with eachother and other busi-nesses,” said SebVecchio, President ofCooroy Chamber ofCommerce.

The Sunshine CoastRegional Council alsogot behind the concept,providing sponsorshipas part of a broader“Connecting BusinessConnecting Communi-ties” strategy of theCooroy Chamber which

COORAN State School had a wonderful morningcelebrating the joy of being under 8. The 2011 themeof “Bush to Beach: Let them Grow” provided anopportunity for the children to learn through expe-riences that acknowledge our environment. We had90 school children face painting, mask making, bushcollage, reading stories, making bracelets and muchmore. At the end of the activity time, the childrenhad a shared sausage sizzle that was welcomed.Over the morning we had many parents andyounger siblings who joined in the fun. Mr Teaklemade some wonderful murals for the children to puttheir faces through. We are very lucky at Cooran tohave so many talented people, staff, parents andchildren alike.

Thanks to Sue Hanly and her team who workedtirelessly to make the day such a success.

2011 Footy season has started!

Football has always had a big following in the Cooroy community.

I’m sure many locals will recognise the names of our past players.

With the Cooroy Rag celebrating our 50th birthday, we’d love you

to drop in old photos and news articles.

Blast from the past

I WAS sitting around having a few

drinks with friends last night when

my daughter made the mistake of

asking us if we knew what

Pythagoras Theorem was.

Some of our suggestions:

“A cocktail made with crème de

menthe”.

“A prophet who predicted the end

of the world”.

“A flying horse”.

“An Indian who fell in love with a

white settler”.

Apparently we weren’t very

helpful and she retreated back to

the cave from whence she came. But

it did liven up our little party.

How long would it take for

civilisation to recover if some world

catastrophe occurred and we were

the only ones who survived?

Should we study up on Pythagoras

Theorem? What exactly would we

use it for?

So what should we be studying to

help us survive? Even though we

knew what a wheel was, would we

actually be able to build one, and

what would we attach it to if we

could. I could draw a picture of a

car in the dirt, but the details of

what’s under the bonnet would be

a little sketchy. So I guess I should

start studying mechanics? Not to

mention electricity making.

Sometimes I think that’s made out

of water, sometimes coal, maybe

nuclear ... Time to hit the books.

Does anyone know how to make a

Panadol?

So there you have it …

Pythagoras, Pegasus and

Pocahontas

IT’S funny how the strangestthings become so popular … like‘planking’. As much as it’s nowbanned everywhere because ofover zealous plankers planking todeath, if you choose yourlocation it seems to be quite asafe activity. Pretty sure it’s justlying across random objects onyour stomach.

My planking is done expertly onmy bed, and after a particularlylong business lunch, on theoffice floor. It’s the perfect sportfor the lazy player. Now whenasked what I did on the weekend,I no longer have to say I just laidaround, I say “oh just a spot ofplanking”.

I certainly did a lot of plankingwhen I received my $1000electricity bill last week. I’ve nowturned into my father prowlingthrough the house ranting “that’ssix lights I’ve just turned off, theplace is lit up like Christmas tree…obviously there are someadjectives I have left out there,and if expletives could generatepower we’d be able to sell it backto the grid. I’ve also bannedheaters this winter. There will bea lot of layering and, no doubt, alot of screaming as the cold-blooded member of the family(me) tries to stick my icy feet upeveryone’s jumpers.

So there you have itLocations, lazing and lightsTripping over a planker in the

dark not my fave!

ANZAC Day 2011 marks the 96 thAnniversary of the landing of theAustralian and New Zealand Army Corpsat Gallipoli in 1915. This year, 24th April was the 60thanniversary of the Battle of Kapyong inthe Korean War. The Battle of Kapyongis one of the most significant battlesfought by Australians in the Korean War.This April was also the 70th anniversaryof the Siege of Tobruk and the Battle ofGreece. These significant battlesbetween Allied and German forces in theMediterranean region involved tens ofthousands of Australian troops, wherethe determination of Allied forcessignificantly halted German advancesinto the region. On 10th April the ‘Rats ofTobruk’ commemorated the 70thanniversary of the beginning of theSiege. The Anzac spirit was born 96 years agoon 25 April 1915, far from home, whenour brave soldiers landed at Gallipoli. Onthat day alone, approximately 2000Australians were killed or wounded inthe fight for freedom, democracy andpeace. It is said that on this day Australiatruly earned the right to be called anation. The heroism of the men at AnzacCove earned Australia respect andhonour.

As we commemorated Anzac Day, weremembered with gratitude the serviceand sacrifice of those first Anzacs. Wealso remembered the hundreds ofthousands of Australian defencepersonnel who have served in wars andconflicts and as peace keepers since thattime.As a strong, democratic nation, muchis expected of Australia and its armedforces in trouble spots around the world– and in the spirit of Anzac ourservicemen and women continue to makeour country proud. We think especiallyon this day of those serving inAfghanistan in constant danger of theirlives.

We owe an enormous debt of gratitudeto these Australians and Anzac Day istheir special day and our opportunity tohonour them and ensure that theirservice is never forgotten.

We shall remember them!

Shaded by Desert sand dunes,Lulled by the murmur of waves,Quickly we went ‘back to nature’,Forgetting Syria and old Tobrukcaves,

The roar of the guns at Tel Eisa,Brought war and reality near,We soon had a big job before us,No time for reflection or fear,Then came the war-wounded weary,Shell-torn wounds covered in flies,Sick of the war and the desert,The reflection of Hell in their eyes,There, on the dunes of the desert,For many the war had it’s end,All they had, they had given,Their life – Freedom’s cause to de-fend.

Some the grim reaper defeated,Back from the shadow they came,Saved by the skill of the surgeon,Once again they’ve a number andname,

Back they can go to the furnace,That is fed by man’s malice and hate,Given lease to a life full of sorrow,Mayhap death was a kindlier fate.Some paid a price that was higher,An arm, or a leg, or a hand.Back on the trail they were started,That ends in dear Aussie land.We are leaving old ‘Figtree Alley’We are going up further they say,Does it mean that the blood wasn’twasted?Does it mean we are nearer the Day.Let us hope that the crosses that weleave behind,Let us hope that the blood and thetears of our kind,Will be remembered when we reachour own sunny land,They serve to remind us – War isn’tgrand!

“Let food be your medicine and medicineyour food,” an ancient Greek philosopherforetold, long after the Thai principals werean inherent belief system and integral dietstructure for life longevity. Noo is passion-ate about traditional indigenous Thaifoods and medicine and was taught by heruncle, the local village’s Shaman, as a childgrowing up in North- East of Thailand,whose recipes and blends have beenhanded down by countless generations.Noo operates a small cooking school fromthe Cooroy restaurant and will expand theenterprise to foodies that are yearning tobe educated on the culinary and healthbenefits of Thai herbs and spices. Sub-jects include but are not limited to: Grow-ing/Cultivation/Identification; PreparingFoods for optimum Health Benefits; Cook-ing Secrets.

One has to admire Noo’s knowledge ofthe local streetscape and bush environ-ment when she explains that the local“Cordyline lily” was used as traditionalbush tucker in Thailand and demonstrateshow to peel, core and prepare the plant fora meal! Noo is currently compiling a bookand video guide on the many uses andbenefits of Thai herbs and spices. If youwish to learn more about Thai edibleBotany – Indigenous use, identificationand how to prepare a provincial knockoutdish, visit Noo’s Facebook page where sheshares her delicious recipes, alternativelyphone Noo for the details of the next class.

POMONA’S Skate Park is now getting a well-earnedupgrading, refurbishment and extension.

Regulars at the popular park should not have towait more than two weeks to get back on their boards– as long as the weather gods are kind, that is.

Rocks making up some of the adjacent paths willbe removed as part of the works and will be storedfor future use at another site to be determined.

Some temporary fencing will remain up while thework is being carried out, divisional councillor LewBrennan said.

“The first thing I did when elected in 1997 was tobuild the skate park in Cooran,” he said.

“Pomona came soon after and they’ve been buzz-ing ever since.

“This upgrade will give the kids a much betterpark.

“I know that this park is very popular – whichmeans there is never a perfect time to get such workdone,” he said.

“But a short wait is worth the longer-term ben-efits.”

The original headquarters of theNoosa Shire was built in Pomona withthe first Council Meeting to be held inthat particular building being con-ducted on September 13, 1911. Thisstructure remained as the Council Of-fice until 1980 when the Council shiftedto Pelican Street, Tewantin.

The building’s next life began in 1985with the Cooroora Historical Societyoccupying the premises. Their missionwas ‘to preserve what was rapidly dis-appearing of the past’ – and so it con-tinues to this date.

Therefore, come September – theNoosa Museum hopes to celebrate theCentennial Birthday of this fine old edi-fice.

PEOPLE with asthma are being urged totake their condition seriously this winteras new data from the Australian Bureau ofStatistics highlights concerning levels ofasthma-related deaths.

The latest Australian asthma death tollrecorded 411 deaths in 2009 – 131 malesand 280 females.

While this figure marks a decrease of 32deaths, compared with 2008 levels, and apositive decline in male fatalities, the Na-tional Asthma Council Australia is warn-ing that there is no room for complacency.

Chair of the National Asthma CouncilAustralia, Dr Noela Whitby AM, said the2009 toll is still a concern as every death isa tragedy. “The data highlights some ar-

THE Benefits of Ballroom Dancing areAmazing: Dancing Makes You Smarter!

Ballroom Dancing has been shown tohave numerous health benefits in variousstudies.

According to research published by theAlbert Einstein Centre in New York, thosewho dance three to four times a week havea 76% lower incidence of developingmemory loss than those who dance once,or not at all. “Dance is not purely physi-cal, it also requires a lot of mental effort,”said Joseph Verghese, professor of Neu-rology and the author of the study. Thisstudy, in which nearly 500 people took part,found that dancing, which stimulates themind as well as the body, preserves memoryand prevents the onset of dementia/Alzhe-imer’s disease

This function was held last year andthoroughly enjoyed by all who at-tended.

eas of concern with nearly half of asthma-related deaths occurring in the 80+ yearsage bracket, and the death toll is signifi-cantly higher in women aged 80+ years(141) than men (48),” she said.

According to the National Asthma Coun-cil Australia the number of deaths regis-tered each year amongst older Australiansis continuing to increase probably in linewith the ageing Australian population.

“The rate of mortality from asthma in Aus-tralia is relatively high by internationalstandards though we have done much inthe last few decades to bring about betterasthma management. This has resulted infar fewer deaths.”

While Dr Whitby encourages ongoing

asthma management year round, she isconcerned about the impact of winter, es-pecially in more vulnerable populationssuch as older adults.

“Now’s the time for extra vigilance as thecolder air, flu and viruses can trigger orexacerbate asthma symptoms,” she said.

“It is imperative for people of all ages totake their asthma seriously. See your doc-tor to review your asthma managementprogram and ask for an updated writtenasthma action plan,” Dr Whitby advised.

Australia has one of the highest preva-lence rates of asthma in the world and whileit can’t be cured, it can be controlled withasthma medication and by following an upto date written asthma action plan.

games seemed to have a positive effect, (47%reduced risk), purely physical activities, likeswimming, running and cycling, did not seemto prevent the disease and Dancing fre-quently provided 76% reduced risk. That wasthe greatest risk reduction of any activitystudied, cognitive or physical!

Many people have gotten the message.That’s why we see increasing numbers ofpeople of all ages having the time of theirlives on dance floors all over the county. Theyare receiving a triple payoff: mental, physicaland social interaction.

Why does dancing help maintain the brain?The principle of Neuroplasticity hypoth-esizes that we continue to rewire synapsesin the brain with continuous activity.

This is literally a “use it or lose it” phenom-enon.

When we are dancing, we are using ourcerebral cortex and hippocampus, which are

critical to dancing. These areas of thebrain rewire themselves based upontheir use.

Anyone wishing to take up this highlybeneficial pastime need only contactAndrew and Christine of CLASSDANCE who teach all forms of Ballroom,Old time and Latin dancing. The les-sons are enjoyable and friendly and tai-lored to your level of experience. Theyhave beginner, intermediate and ad-vanced classes in Cooroy, Tewantin andWoombye. Both singles and couplesare welcome.

Anyone can learn to dance, and it re-ally is so much fun.

“It’s especially important for people ingroups considered most at risk, and that’swhy Queensland Health provides free ’fluvaccinations for the elderly, pregnantwomen,

indigenous people aged over 15 and thoseat risk due to medical conditions,” DrYoung said.

“Influenza is a highly contagious andpotentially serious disease that can bespread through coughing and sneezing.

“This reliable and safe vaccine is avail-able to prevent people getting influenza.”

Dr Young said there had been a large in-crease in ’flu cases this year.

“There have already been 1598 notifica-tions of influenza in Queensland so far thisyear, compared with 279 over the same pe-riod in 2010,” she said.

“This is a trend we are seeing through-out the nation, with northern Australia inparticular reporting higher-than-expectednumbers of cases.

“We usually see an increasing trend inQueensland notifications from around theend of May.

“That’s why it’s important for all peopleat higher risk of severe influenza to getvaccinated, and Queensland Health pro-vide free vaccinations for this group.”

This includes pregnant women, peopleaged 65 years and older, indigenous peo-ple aged 15 years and older. Those whoare medically at risk - such as those withheart, respiratory or nervous system dis-eases, chronic illnesses or impaired immu-nity, and children aged six months to tenyears who are on long-term aspirin therapy– are also eligible for free vaccination.

Dr Young said anyone wishing to reducetheir risk of becoming unwell with influ-enza should be vaccinated.

“Annual vaccination against influenzareduces the chances of catching the ’fluand the severity of the ’flu if you do catchit,” she said.

Anyone over the age of six months old,who is not severely allergic to vaccine in-gredients, can be vaccinated.

Vaccination is available from GPs’ surger-ies, Aboriginal medical services and otherimmunisation providers.

WE don’t normally think of Winter as atime to lose weight. Normally we do theopposite, eating all those hearty comfortfoods that invariable pack on the kilos. Butthis time of year is actually a perfect time tostart a weight loss program. Whenoverweight, people often experience heatintolerance so starting a weight lossprogram in the cooler weather is greatlybeneficial as you don’t have the heat tocontend with.

Make a Difference Health & Fitness havedeveloped a Winter Weight Loss Programthat will get you well on your way tolooking fantastic when Summer rollsaround and it is time to get into those fatrevealing shorts and swimsuits again! Thefirst step of the program is pretty easy – itinvolves a Bio Age test like you see ontelevision shows such as The BiggestLoser and Oprah. A Bio Age test ispainless and measures your biological ageas opposed to your chronological agewhich is how long you’ve been alive.

“Our biological age is an indicator of how

well we are aging and our life expectancy.Many people get a bit of a shock whenthey have a Bio Age test but it is possibleto change your biological age. One of ourclients was in her thirties and had abiological age of 50. She has now turnedthat around and has a biological ageyounger than her actual age,” explainedMaria Sturre, Make a Difference Health &Fitness’ naturopath.

The remainder of the Make a DifferenceHealth & Fitness Winter Weight LossProgram involves a fitness assessment,goal setting and a total of 14 sessions witheither naturopath, Marie Sturre or PersonalTrainer, Lee Smith. The combination ofthese sessions is determined based onyour individual needs and all sessions areone-on-one so you get personal attentiontailored to match your requirements.

Another client of Make A DifferenceHealth & Fitness, Bethwyn Hancockswears by the results. “My life hasabsolutely changed since I’ve been going -I’ve got more energy, lost about 20 kgs,

and my muscle tone has improved.Lee’s approach as a trainer is reallysupportive and encouraging but hemakes sure you work to yourpotential. I started in Summer andin hindsight it would have been somuch smarter to start in the coolermonths. I’d say if you are thinkingabout losing weight – do it now!”

PERFECT weather heraleded the arrivial of theCooran State School Annual Athletic Carnival.

The feeling of camaraderie as everyone pitched into set up was just the start of what was to be a greatday!

The sprints in the morning followed by the fieldevents through the afternoon went smoothly withall children showing the great spirit of the ‘Coorankid’.

Most impressive was the supportive behavioursthroughout the day where one child went out oftheir way to support another that may have beenhaving problems with a particular event, runningalong beside a runner who was lagging behind orgiving up their place in a ball games team so anothercould “have a go”.

In the end there could only be one winning houseand that was the Kangaroos. Congratulations to thewinning team and to all the children who partici-pated.

Age Champions:1st girls 9 yr, Daisy Mannetje; 1st Boys 9 yr, Joshua

Wessling; 1st Girls 10 yr, Aamber Clements; 1st boys10 yr, Patrick Broman; 1st girls 11 yr, BoadiceaMountford; 1st boys 11 yr, Mocanachy Smith; 1st Girls12 yr, Abbey O’Hanlon; 1st boys 12 yr, Taon Mulcahy;1st boys 13 yrs, Jordon Todd.

THE Cooroy Probus Club had anotherfun filled outing, this time to the PomonaBowls Club for a basic bowls lesson,time to practise our new found skills anda traditional BBQ lunch.

Experienced bowlers and first timersshared the greens, scoring was forgot-ten and bodies bent beyond thenorm, all to the amusement of thosewatching.

Thanks are extended to the local bowl-ers for their hospitality and for sharingtheir bowling secrets.

I’m sure the Pomona Bowls Club willgain themselves a few new members.

Those who attended all voted to makethis an annual event.

Proud to present Jay a prize for hisefforts is Russ Price Trainer at TheWorkout Shed. Jay wins a 10 sessiontraining card valued at $120, which heis putting towards developing his corestrength.

The Squat King crowned

A SECOND half free kick from 22 meters to 1st Divi-sion Captain/Coach Scott Rocker helped CoorooraUnited to all 3 points in their latest home gameagainst Coolum.

Not many chances to either team as tactics andskill played out the first half. After surviving 3 cor-ners during the first half Cooroora hit the lead forthe first time in the match soon after the half timebreak. Rocker gave Cooroora the lead when he hit arocket around a defensive wall and into the bottomcorner of the goal.

That was enough to put the red and blue boysback into the game. Coolum then missed a goldenopportunity to tie the game up when they brokethrough the middle but an offside decision provedcostly for them.

The resilient Cooroora responded with a coura-geous defensive effort for the remaining 20 minutesand grabbed the 3 points on offer. Cooroora are nowwithin striking distance of the all important top 4sitting 2 points outside and 5 home games comingin succession.

Check out all game times for this weekend’s homegames on www.sunshinecoastfootball.com.au andcome on down to lend your support. Secure yourseat close to the heater and watch the best inCooroora play the World game live in our ownbackyard.

Reserve grade men play at 4pm with the Men’sPremier team kicking off at 6pm.

The canteen is open with volunteer helpers Robyn,Julie, Tina and Melissa serving up gourmet pies,steak burgers, sausage rolls, chips, wedges andmuch more.

So grab yourself a feed, a coffee or a cold drinkand settle yourself in at the Burrow to enjoy a greatgame of football.
