Help give mozzies the slap THAT’S the call out from Sunshine Coast Council with the warmer temperature, wet weather and high tides providing optimum breeding conditions for mosquitos. C ommu n i t y P r ogr a ms P or tf ol i o Councillor Jenny McKay said council had an ongoing proactive control program to monitor and combat mosquitoes but residents could also play an important role in reducing the high numbers of little biters. “Mosquito breeding sites in saltmarsh areas and intertidal zones on the Sunshine Coast Council area total about 1000ha and ultimately impact the majority of residents along our coastal towns and westward to the Blackall Range. “During higher tidal inundations, typically around 12-15 per year, mosquito hatches are triggered and council’s proactive treatment program target as many of these saltmarsh mosquito breeding sites as possible. “We particularly target the Aedes vigilax mosquito which is a vector for chronic diseases such as Ross River Fever. “Controlling mosquito populations is a complex task as the average mosquito can travel 30 km in distance dependant on the tides and wind direction. “This week council has undertaken the fourth aerial mosquito larvae treatment of the season targeting the southern areas of the region. Post treatment surveying is now being completed to assess efficacy. “Further aerial treatments are planned next week in the northern areas.” Cr McKay said numerous breeding sites have also been detected in and around residential areas throughout the region. “Everyone can help to reduce mosquito impacts,” she said. “From cleaning up your yard to emptying water out of old pots, containers and tyres, there’s a number of small things you can do to help reduce the number of breeding sites around your home.” Mosquito populations usually rise to a peak in late summer but large populations can also occur at any time between September and April if favourable conditions for mosquito breeding occur. Council obtains State Government permits for mosquito treatments and abides by the conditions of the chemicals used. INSTORE SPECIALS….

Thankfully, this has been made possible through my partnership wi t h S u r f a i r B e a c h H ot e l Marcoola. “They have supported me financially as well as mentoring and training with Scano (Tony Scanlon).

Tony Scanlon is proud Surfair Beach Hotel is sponsoring Kelly to reach his goal of becoming a professional surfer. “We applaud Kelly and his family for their unwavering commitment and dedication,” he said. “With Kelly’s great skills and athleticism in the surf, he is sure to reach his full potential as a future professional surfing champion. “We look forward to sharing this journey with Kelly.” Holiday entertainment Keeping kids busy at the library IF you’re running out of activities to keep the kids entertained over the holidays, then Coolum Library may well have the answer.

These holidays, she will take on the role of assistant at holiday camps being offered from January 16 by owners and teachers at The Dance Centre Peregian Springs, Deborah Preece-Brocksom and Richard Leader. Having started dancing at the age of 6, Mei Mei now spends many hours each week during term studying everything from classical ballet to contemporary dance, and says the holiday camps have improved her dancing. “Miss Deborah and Mr Richard make dancing fun,” Mei Mei said. “I want to help the younger kids have fun dancing at the Holiday Camps too.” The holiday camps being offered begin with the Summer Dance Workshop which will run from January 16 to 18. Designed for dancers aged 7 to 18 years, this camp will include guest faculty. Then, from January 19 to 21, the Holiday Dance Camp for Tiny Toes and Little Dancers aged 3 to 11 years will be conducted. Finally, on January 22, will be the Dance, Drama and Art Day for children aged 3 to 11 years. As an incentive, The Dance Centre will be offering one free place in the dance camp for a child who can describe, in 100 words or less, why they want to attend camp. Registered campers are entered into a drawing for a free term class. As for Mei Mei, her dream is to become a professional ballerina and follow in the footsteps of Dayna Booth, also from The Dance Centre, who is already on her way to achieving her dream. Recently, together with two other SHARING HER PASSION: Having recently been accepted into The Australian Ballet School Interstate Program, Mei Mei Tan is looking forward to her role as assistant at the upcoming holiday camps being offered by The Dance Centre Peregian Springs. students from The Dance Centre, Mei Mei was accepted into The Australian Ballet School Interstate Program.

Organic waste first case for community jury Each Each Time to dance Lindemans Bin Range Wines WHAT is the best option for minimising organic waste sent to landfill? That’s the question Noosa’s community jury will consider when it meets in February for the first time. As Councillors signed off on the jury topic last night, new Democracy Foundation confirmed the jury’s 24 members had been selected. Mayor Noel Playford said there are a number of different options for dealing with organic waste and each comes at a different price. “That is why we wanted to involve the community in the decision-making process,” he said. Organic waste is a major issue for the shire as it represents up to 60 per cent of typical household waste and 40 per cent of landfill. Organic waste includes both garden waste and food waste, which consists of fruit, vegetable and meat waste. Organic waste is a major problem because it takes up considerable landfill space and produces a significant amount of greenhouse gas. Organic waste in the landfill produces 70 per cent of Council’s greenhouse gas emissions. “The State Government’s Draft Waste and Recycling Strategy for Queensland 2014 - 2024 sets a target for local government to increase its diversion of domestic waste from landfill from the current 33 per cent to 45 per cent. Diverting and recycling organic waste is an effective means of achieving this target,” Wayne Schafer, Waste and Environmental Health Manager said. “It makes sense to isolate organic waste so that it can be recycled effectively.” Reducing organic waste to landfill will minimise Council’s exposure to any costly future government taxes or levies relating to emissions and the amount of waste sent to landfill. The 24 Noosa residents that make up the jury will commence deliberations in a full-day sitting on Saturday, February 7. Thereafter they will meet one evening per month.

Research on the ground by Australia’s leading smoke-alarm specialist reveals more than one in three Queensland households have at least one non-working smoke alarm, and more than one in four households have no working smoke alarm at all. Worse still, the number of properties with defective or absent alarms has been increasing. Since 2010, Smoke Alarms Australia, Australia’s leading and longest-running residential smoke alarms specialist, has carried out a first inspection of more than 140,000 residential properties in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, ACT and Western Australia - and a total of 259,000 smoke alarms. In Queensland, the prevalence of non-compliance has fluctuated year on year, with at least one nonworking smoke alarm in 36.6% of properties in 2010, rising to 37.2% in 2014. In 2010, 23.1% of Queensland properties inspected for the first time had no working alarms at all, up to 25.5% in 2014. Troy Thompson, General Mana ge r at S mo ke Al ar ms Australia, said: “These statistics are worrying, and suggest that state government messages such as ‘Only working smoke alarms save lives’ still have a long way to go. “Homeowners are likely unaware of the smoke-alarm legislation in their state, or that alarms expire after 10 years. The State Government can issue property owners a $500 onthe-spot fine for non-compliance. “In light of this data and the 11,000 household fires that occurred in Australian homes last year, it’s clear that householders are not aware that smoke alarms need to be checked at least yearly to ensure they are working. “Householders are also likely unaware that, under some policies, their home and contents cover may be invalid without a working smoke alarm,” Mr Thompson added. “Now is the time for homeowners to have their smoke alarms checked and replaced by a reputable smokealarms specialist that carries all of the liability for product and workmanship,” he said. “For as little as $99, home owners can have all their smoke alarms checked and replaced.” WORTH CHECKING: Although 11,000 household fires occurred in Australian homes last year, the number of properties with defective or absent smoke alarms has been increasing. Smoke Alarms Australia’s 5 tips for choosing and installing smoke alarms: 1. Choose photoelectric smoke alarms. Recommended by all Australian fire authoriti es, photoelectric smoke alarms use light sensor technology to ‘see’ smoke before flames appear, enabling them to detect smouldering fires faster than ionisation smoke alarms, which can only ‘smell’ smoke when a fire has already started. 2. Know how to identify ionisation alarms. Ionisation smoke alarms contain a small amount of the radioactive material Americium241. The base of an ionisation alarm will have a radiation symbol and description of Americium-241. 3. Ensure smoke alarms meet the Australian Standard. Smoke alarms in all Australian residential properties need to meet the Australian Standard AS 3786. While certification should be clear on the packaging, it is best to have a smoke-alarm specialist check your alarms comply. 4. Use a smoke alarms specialist to ensure compliance and to carry the liability. A reputable provider will inspect your property, provide and install the number of smoke alarms as required by law and ensure they’re positioned correctly within the property. The annual cost per property is as little as $99 when using a specialist such as Smoke Alarms Australia - with the added benefit that they will carry full product and workmanship liability insurance. 5. Ensure you have the required amount of alarms. Smoke alarms are not only mandatory in Australian residential homes, but are required in each level of the home. All State fire authorities also recommend a smoke alarm be located between each bedroom area and the rest of the house, and inside any bedroom where a person sleeps with the door closed.

They are a wonderful expression of the spirit of the community. LES IRVING Yaroomba All at sea Even after rearranging the deck chairs and the tired old crew on the Government ship, “Team Australia”, things still remain all at sea. The sister ship of the fleet, “The Budget”, left a gaping wound amidships in “Team Australia”. Rest assured that the Captain and the ship’s Manifesto will remain unchanged as “Team Australia” sails towards the looming 2016 election. MARGARET WILKIE Peregian Beach Those darn signs I agree with you Phil and Annie. Local jobs are a good thing, and construction and tourism have long been a big part of our state economy. But did you know there’s already a special Master Plan in place for the Yaroomba site that allows multiple buildings 8.5m to 16m tall - higher than anywhere else currently approved in the Coolum area? And, let’s face it, there’s no shortage of construction in the Sunshine Coast pipeline Kawana and Maroochydore CBD-to-be for starters. The Coast’s tourism numbers are currently on the increase, not because we’ve built more high-rise accommodation, but largely thanks to the decline in the Oz dollar, and drier weather (something no government or multinational company can bend to their will). All we’re asking for is moderate development with a good steady supply of local jobs, rather than another cycle of boom and bust that forces massive upheaval on small communities. If our politicians would listen, we wouldn’t need the sign language. R. PETERS Failure of justice U n r e p e n t a n t a n d unreformed convicted criminals, bailed by a naïve judiciary, expose the general public to offenders empowered by blind justice. The rights of criminals seem to be superior to the rights of their unsuspecting victims. Despite prosecutors and a very conscientious police force opposing bail for many with a history of criminal convictions, there have been tragedy upon tragedy for their innocent victims, after their release back into our communities. Defending such domestic terrorists is unconscionable. Even more alarming is a system of appeal which allows repeat offenders the opportunity to reoffend. Victims of crime such as Luke Batty, Jill Meahers and Daniel Morcombe, along with the many women who feared for their lives from violent partners, despite protection orders, only to die at the hands of their tormentors, are crying out for justice. Mental illness, drug and alcohol abuse and warped ideologies are the enemies of peace-loving Australians, who want nothing but to be secure and protected by the law. But it is the same law which allows perpetrators their right to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty and beyond. But this is often the very same system which lets the guilty loose again upon the community, giving them a licence to repeat their actions. They walk free in the presence of their victims, laughing at the anomalies which protect them but not their victims, with the backing of a legal system which needs an overhaul. We now question the ability of the laws of this land and the court system to protect us from evil. We have witnessed the failure of the courts too many times. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. This event was history in the making. Let it not define us. E. ROWE Marcoola No guarantee Well, thank you, O. Ball (Letters 19/12), for your contribution to the discussion. Whilst I give you credit for some points, I seem to recall L.J. Plant accusing Bill Shorten of having the personality of a carrot, a sentiment I vehemently disagree with, as you would expect. It must be remembered, though, that despite John Howard’s abuse of his Senate Majority in his final term and his unpopular policies, it was not until the gentlemanly Kim Beazley was replaced with the more aggressive Kevin Rudd, that Howard’s chances of winning a fifth term rapidly dissipated. Whilst debate should be civilised and I will seek to tone down some of my future letters, it must be remembered that the old strategy of waiting for your opponent to implode does not always guarantee improved support for one’s cause and objectives.

Email: coolumadvertiser@bigpond.com Community invited to have their say on waste CONSTRUCTION of a new resource recovery centre, expansion of services and delivery of innovative, financially viable infrastructure are just a few of the major actions outlined in council’s draft Sunshine Coast Waste Strategy 2015 – 2025. Council have unanimously decided to take the draft strategy to the community for review and comment from 12 January – 14 February 2015. The draft waste strategy, including any amendments coming from the consultation process, will be presented to Council for adoption in April 2015. Environment Portfolio Councillor and chair of the Waste Working Group Jenny McKay said the draft Waste Strategy had been developed in line with council’s vision to be Australia’s most sustainable region. “This strategy shapes future waste infrastructure needs for the Sunshine Coast, supports the development of resource recovery markets, ensure waste management remains cost effective and customer focused and protects public health and the natural environment,” Cr McKay said. “I encourage the community to review the draft strategy and have their say during the consultation period”. Residents can view and comment on the strategy from 12 January – 14 February 2015 either online at www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au or in person at council libraries or customer contact centres.

Once again an outstanding field of local, interstate and for the first time international talent has been assembled for this year’s event. Newcomer, the impeccable Japanese import “Sekisui” is the favourite at 2-1. The outsider of the field is the bottom weight, popular local “Slippery Shuffling Shaun” at 80-1. The Toads will be auctioned by Silent Auction, with the first bidder to pass the reserved price declared the owner. Toads that do not reach the reserve will then go to open auction at 3.00pm with the Cup scheduled to start at 3.15pm. All local clubs and community groups are encouraged to get behind their entrant, and spend up as the profits from this year’s race will be dispersed to Coolum Lions charities. All toads have been named in good fun and it is certainly not the intention of the organizers to offend any person. The form guide has also been written in good fun, once again with no intention to offend. Once the toads have been auctioned the pool will be divided up as follows: Lions Charities 50%, First 25%, second 15%, third 10%. We hope that everyone enjoys this event as much as we have done in assembling the field. Corporate Clive The 2013 Fairfax Handicap winner, who has forged a huge reputation all over the country since then. His form suffered late last year, when stable lightweight “Silence of the Lambies” spoke out against stable policy and was subsequently dumped. Colours: Battleship Grey 8-1 Sekisui A recent Japanese import who has teamed up with “Influential Friends” and “Greasy Palm” to form a formidable stable. Most punters wish him the same fate that his countryman suffered in last year’s Melbourne Cup. An underestimated opponent? Colours: Red spot on White background 2-1 Indian Myna Alias “The Toad with Wings”. Arrived in town a few years back after leaving a trail of destruction along the East Coast. Has been spotted training all over Coolum, and is rumoured to be heading towards a luxury lifestyle in Noosa. Will do anything in his power to win. Expect him to use the dirtiest tactics ever seen as he attempts to decimate this field. Colours: Black and Blacker 4-1 The Northshore Flyer High flying toad from the famous Harley Davidson stable. Has been training hard on The Fairways near the Mt Coolum Golf Course recently. A genuine flyer but his stamina will be tested over this longer distance. Keen to impress on his local track. Colours: None 3-1 Naked Ned Last Year’s Winner!!! Trains in Lions Park regularly, mostly under the gazebo. From the same stable as former champs “Skinny Dipper” and “Naked Runner”.

Colours: Royal Blue with a silver tail. 25-1 Up Yours Abbott Won the 2013 Canberra Cup in a landslide, easily defeating “Comeback Kevin” in a memorable result. Being hampered by stable lightweights “Dumb Policy” and “Screw the Pensioner” while stable foreman “Smokin’ Joe” is struggling to handle “The Message” Colours: Royal Blue 10-1 Grand Garry A veteran toad with the same name as one of Brisbane’s great racehorses. Unable to settle in the back paddock after retiring last year, he has resumed training and should be really fit this preparation. Stable mates “Deadline” and “Scoop” will keep him on his toes. Colours: Orange 15-1 Jumping Jezzabelle A pocket rocket having her first start in the cup. Making a return to racing after a severe fetlock injury. In great spirits after being nursed back to health by dedicated stablemate Slippery Shuffling Shaun. Roughie!! Colours: Red with Green Stripes 20-1 Jamieson’s Malt Won the Sunshine Coast Handicap convincingly three years ago. Has settled in well at his new Town Hall stable but still needs time to evaluate the opposition, “Nimby”, “Self Interest” and “Anti Everything” who are determined to hold him back. Punters will be watching with interest as he takes on race favourite “Sekisui” for the first time. Colours: Blue and Yellow 6-1 The Graduate Having his second start in the cup. Has trained really hard for this race, but still feeling his way. Always trying to deal with nuisance toads “Fruit Bat” and “Flying Fox” who have now moved from the Meals on Wheels precinct to the nearby SES Stable. Colours: Turquoise 8-1 Wynging Pete The leading performer from the Pixie and Dixie toad Circus. Has opposed everything that has ever happened in Coolum for years, in spite of this our town continues to prosper. Will need to adopt a more positive attitude to be successful against this classy field. Colours: Drab Grey, 16-1 The Governor Unwanted by his new stable after propping up the old stable for 18 months while it was falling down around him. This will be his last start in the cup as he will be put out to pasture in the near future by the ruthless ALH management team. Good each way value!!!

Since then he has continued to disappoint with “Rash Decision”, “Too Smug”, “Stuff the Voter” and “Campbell Knows Best” continuing to ruin his judgment. Still has a big problem with foot in mouth disease. Colours: Black and Blue 8-1 Determined Dougie The supporting actor from the Pixie and Dixie toad Circus, determined to knock stable heavyweight “Wynging Pete” off his perch at every opportunity. Not one to be held back, this little toad will make a huge impact in this year’s cup. C o l o u r s : Maroon 5-1 Great Gregory The leading toad from the Lions International Stable. In outstanding form since mastering “Ice to the Eskimo” and “Friday Raffles.” Triumphed over “Charity Golf Day” at Mt Coolum in late November. Still bothered by elusive stablemate “The Listing” Colours: Purple and Gold 30-1 Miss Kimmy Popular local filly with a great outlook. Will promote Coolum at every opportunity.

Planning to make the biggest recorded comeback since “Lazarus” won the Jerusalem Cup many years ago.

Coolum’s New ‘Choir of Hard Knocks’ Have you heard of the wonderful story of Jonathon Welch’s street choir of Melbourne, the Choir of Hard Knocks? Well, he has recently begun such a choir in Brisbane, and now it is Coolum’s turn. Two very talented local musical directors will coordinate the choir under the umbrella of Coolum HeARTs. It will be called “I’m Still Standing” and begin on January 19 at the Lions Hall, 14 Russell Street, Coolum, on Mondays from 1pm to 3pm on a weekly basis. Coolum HeARTs is an organisation aimed at providing free access to the arts, for example singing, writing and art, to people who live with significant challenges in their lives - mental and physical disabilities, social isolation, effects of domestic violence and abuse, chronic loneliness and long-term unemployment. If you feel you would benefit from this, would love to sing, feel you can’t, but would like to join a fun group and learn great songs from all over the world, please give Barb a call to talk about it. There is no pressure to perform - just a willingness to enjoy and sing from your heart in a safe, supportive and friendly environment. We have two very talented and approachable musical directors to learn from. Take a step out and challenge yourself to do something you may always have wanted to do, but fear or something else got in the way. This is a great way to leave your concerns at home and just relax for a couple of hours!

But ‘HOW to QUIT’ is a common question. There’s no easy way! The smoking and drug industries promote and subsidise ‘drug replacement therapy’ through inhalers, patches, gum, electronic substitutes – ways to retain customers – not help you QUIT. Laser therapy to stop smoking uses light stimulation that affects the brain’s chemistry which is then supported by behaviour modification. It is simple, drug free, cost and time effective and demonstrated to be 80% successful from 2 separate studies with trained physiotherapists using this ‘Phoenix’ approach over 2-3 weeks. The laser’s light provides biostimulation that removes cravings then the brain and body can adapt and ‘reset’ the individual’s capacity to live without nicotine. Nicotine is a highly addictive drug and beating the cravings in order to have the mental strength to change behaviour is critical. Laser stimulates the body’s neural system and assists the return to a normalised chemical balance. The nicotine blocked sites and subsequent cravings are reduced and the negative reaction to a foreign chemical through taste and sensory awareness are restored. With cravings reduced the individual can address the physical and mental techniques to quit permanently. It’s not a magic bullet, you must want to quit – but scientifically designed and proven Laser is a realistic option for many who really do want to QUIT SMOKING –permanently.

Holistic Coaching for Positive Change and Balance Many of us know somebody who seems to have it all together balancing their life having a calmness or serene feeling about them as they flow from one task and role to another. These happy positive people can be found at all stages of their lives within different communities. We all have different life styles and we may try to change and achieve a work-life balance, however, efforts in this area often come unstuck. Work and leisure do not start and stop neatly with modern daily life pressures. We can fail to be in the moment giving attention to our love ones, friends and colleagues. Careers, family and community responsibilities mean change and adjustments in relationships are a constant challenge for us. The great thing is we all have gifts and these help our choices. By getting some feedback and establishing a coaching plan around your preferences, life stage and life style you can move into that serene or sweet spot. A holistic coaching approach can help you navigate through the different stages of life focussing on meaning and wellbeing. With Yoga Chi Gung an oriental yoga practice you can be supported in achieving a state of wellbeing. By connecting to your individual energy and breath with postures, flows and meditation you can be on a developmental path for a healthy, body, mind and spirit.
