By Richard BruinsmaAlana Curnow wants to be the World’s Strongest Woman.

And, so far, she’s making good progress to achieving that official title.

Last October, Ms Curnow broke the World Record for the heaviest lift and load of an Atlas Stone – one of those huge balls of solid concrete.

She weighs 82 kg. The Atlas Stone weighed 138.2kg. And she managed to lift it onto a platform set at a mandatory 1.2m.

(The record she broke – 136kg – had stood for 13 years).

That achievement, at the Brisbane Fitness Expo, came with the unofficial-but-widely-recognised title of Australia’s strongest woman.

However, Ms Curnow isn’t finished there.

She flew out on Tuesday night to compete at the “Arnold Classic Amateur Strongman World Championships” in Ohio, USA, this weekend (March 4-6).

“I’m pretty confident,” she said of the event.

By Richard BruinsmaHorse owners fearful of possible negative impacts of the Hendra vaccine have gained the right to express their concerns directly to the State Government.The government

launched the probe last week after Member for Nicklin Peter Wellington raised the

concerns of local horse owners with Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk. “In December last

year I met with horse owners concerned about what they believe to be adverse reactions to their horses from the Hendra vaccine,” Mr Wellington said.“I believe the people

who have contacted me, need to have a chance

to share their story with the State Government and appropriate authorities.”The Hendra Virus is

characterised by severe respiratory and brain problems, which causes swift death in 75% of equine cases.Since its discovery

in 1994, it has killed more than 70 horses in Queensland and New

South Wales. Humans are also at risk of catching the illness from its usual carriers, flying foxes, or directly from infected horses.There are concerns that

the vaccine, released in 2012, may itself also be responsible for serious health complications in some horses and, in one allegation, even death.Last week, the

Queensland Parliament directed the Agriculture and Environment Committee to investigate the Hendra vaccine.“Thank you to all the

horse owners who have contacted me over this matter,” Mr Wellington said.“You gave me the case

to put to the Premier, calling for this inquiry.

“To the equine vets who also contacted me, thank you, your submissions were also forwarded to the Premier.”The full terms of

reference for the inquiry are available from the Nicklin Electorate office or from the Committee’s webpage: www.parliament.qld.gov.au/

Probe begins into Hendra vaccine concerns

COOLUM is set to again stand firmly on the world stage this year with the launch of the Inaugural Sunshine Coast International Readers and Writers Festival Inc last week.

The festival runs from September 9 to 11with venues at Coolum Civic Centre, Jack Morgan Park, Tickle Park and the Coolum Surf Club function room.

Festival artistic director Wendy O’Hanlon said the inaugural not-for-profit event had been embraced by Coolum and the wider Sunshine Coast region.

“The main two themes of the festival will be celebrating our Sunshine Coast region’s rich Aboriginal heritage and our acclaimed surfing culture layered over our

rich literary and musical talent,” she said.

“The festival will bring together Australian and international writers, including journalists, photographers, poets and songwriters, on a world stage creating a space for conversation and connection across cultural and geographic divides.”

The festival has won support from many groups including the University of the Sunshine Coast’s creative writing program, Sunshine Coast Council, Visit Sunshine Coast, the Sunshine Coast Indigenous Network Group, Lyndon Davis’ Gubbi Gubbi Dance, Coolum traders, Coolum Boardriders Club, Coolum Surf Life Saving Club and

the Noosa Festival of Surfing.

“The inspiration for the festival was Bali’s successful annual Ubud International Readers & Writers Festival which is Southeast Asia’s largest and most-renowned cultural and literary event,” Ms O’Hanlon said. “I attended the Ubud festival in 2011 and 2015 and we are excited that the Ubud festival’s founder and director Janet deNeefe will officially open our festival on Friday night, September 9.

“We have commissioned award-winning indigenous artist Jandamarra Cadd to design a signature art ‘logo’ for our festival. We have launched a Facebook page and hope to launch our official

website soon.”The festival features

two days of panel discussions, book launches, workshops, performances and music including a Poet’s Night (slam poetry, bush poetry, performance poetry and songwriters) on September 10 and an open-to-the-public Closing Celebration Night in Tickle Park on September 11 featuring home-grown band Oka and a dazzling fireworks display on the beach.

“Coolum has been chosen because it is centrally located on the Sunshine Coast and specifically because of its beautiful parks and beachside boardwalks - a great vista for writers to get together to muse and discuss the various panel sessions and workshops

Big is Back in Coolum!running throughout the weekend,” Ms O’Hanlon said.

“Festival-goers will be able to walk to the various sessions with no need for transport. It is also envisaged that Fringe events held under

the festival banner will be a way to “grow” this festival to towns such as Peregian, Marcoola, Mudjimba, Eumundi and elsewhere on the Sunshine Coast.”

For details contact Wendy O’Hanlon

at [email protected] and view the festival’s Facebook page Sunshine Coast International Readers and Writers Festival. Festival tickets will be available in May.

Roving little reds continue their fleeting Sunshine Coast tour

By Richard BruinsmaUsing the services of a surrogate to help build a family is a worthwhile option for would-be mums, a Sunshine Coast mother who has endured three failed attempts has advised.Surrogacy is an alternate pathway to motherhood for those women who may have been unable to fall pregnant naturally and also endured In Vitro Fertilisation treatments unsuccessfully.However, the procedure remains illegal in Queensland, unless the surrogate is a close relative, so enlisting the help of someone from overseas remains an option.“My advice would be to go for it,” the mother, Rachel, which is not her real name, said.“It’s not going to be easy, it’s traumatising, do your homework, talk to people who have been to that country, to that clinic, but definitely go for it, and sooner rather than later.”The local woman interviewed by the Sunshine Valley Gazette had engaged surrogates in India, where the practice is quite common and you are able to choose the surrogate from an online profile and photo.“It’s for you to connect with the person who is going to carry your child for nine months,” Rachel said.“In India, the women really feel they are doing you a service, they don’t

Surrogacy a serious option for motherhoodget much money out of the $30,000 you pay – they might get $7000 – so if you form a nice relationship with them you can give them gifts to help them, but I believe the regulations have tightened.”It is also quite closely monitored. Surrogates must be mothers themselves who have already had their own children so there’s less chance she will refuse to hand over the baby after its birth.Rachel twice used her own eggs, in 2013, and the third time in 2014 used a donor egg. But none of the three attempts resulted in a successful pregnancy, and she said she is unlikely to attempt it again.“Pregnancy for me was always going to be risky; I was trying for the better part of 18 years and I conceived once, and 10 of those years were with IVF,” she said.That child was born prematurely so surrogacy, after IVF, was her next strategy for having another child.“All three times there were between five and nine fertilised embryos, but by the time they were ready for implanting, the quality had deteriorated,” she said. “In my heart I’m not finished with the baby thing, but I’m in my 40s now, so it’s becoming risky and you literally put your life on hold, it’s all you think about.”Although she used the services of a world

famous and very much respected surrogacy doctor in India, her first attempt at surrogacy, in a clinic that didn’t share Australia’s high standards of hygiene, left her a little traumatised.“I woke up during the day procedure, and I looked across and I saw another woman beside me having her procedure,” she said. “But you have to be focussed on having a baby, you can almost feel it, and you think, ‘Well, I’ve come all this way so I’m going ahead with it’.The choice to attempt surrogacy to build her family was made easier for Rachel as she had friends overseas who had gone through with it.

“A friend just came back from India and had a baby via surrogacy,” Rachel explained.“So she was able to give me all the information I needed, even down to the taxi I needed to take from the airport.”While it was been a difficult process, and one that subsequently didn’t have the desired outcome, she regards it as a worthwhile and legitimate option.However, in Australia would be better.“Certainly see if there is a family member or close friend who can do that would be the easiest, cheapest and less stressful,” Rachel said.

THE little red flying-fox migration across the Sunshine Coast region is continuing and can make for an impressive sight at dusk as they leave their roosts to feed on the flowering eucalypts.

Sunshine Coast Council officers are monitoring the flying-fox visitors as part of the Environment Levy Program, which is focused on protecting and enhancing the region’s valuable natural assets and wildlife.

Infrastructure Services Director Andrew Ryan said the animals were following the flowering events around the region, moving between the roosts frequently in large numbers.

“Little reds are night-time pollinators and are essential to many of our local eucalypts, whose flowers only open at night,” Mr Ryan said.

“While some residents adjoining the roosts are looking forward to our little red flying-fox visitors moving on

soon, for others their spectacular sunset fly-out has sparked a lot of interest, with many regularly hosting street ‘cheese, bikkies and bats’ get-togethers, to watch the action overhead.

“By pollinating eucalypts around Queensland, flying-foxes are increasing koala habitat and keeping our native forests genetically healthy.

“Large increases of the little reds have been recorded in Coolum and Tooway Creek in recent weeks.

“They should return to their maternity roosts in north and western areas of Queensland by late March.”

If you’re interested in learning more about flying-foxes, join Gecko’s Wildlife for their upcoming presentations about the secret life of flying-foxes starting at Caloundra Library on Monday, February 29, and continuing around the region in March.

“Last year that didn’t happen; I’m definitely a lot stronger and faster this year.”

Her mother, who lives in Coolum, will be waiting nervously for news of the results.

The strongman events include the disciplines such as 200kg frame carrying, 160kg axel deadlift (most repetitions in a minute), 75kg overhead log

press (most reps over a minute), and of course Atlas Stone lifting.

She also competed at the event in 2015, but made some “rookie errors” that saw her finish in 10th.

If she performs well this weekend, though, Ms Curnow hopes to be invited formally to the World’s Strongest Woman competition, which is due to be held in 2017 after a 15-year hiatus.

“I enjoy just being

completely responsible for the goals you set and what you achieve, and the feeling of going to the strongman events and competing against people who are also your best supporters,” she said.

“It is male dominated but it is rewarding for women as well.

“It’s a bunch of really supportive people.”

Ms Curnow’s journey started in the early 2000s when, unhappy with her weight

after a relationship breakdown, she got serious about her fitness. She joined a gym and within nine months had lost 40kg.

She continued working hard, and has now been training and competing for the strongman events for three years.

She trains at a gym at home in Mooloolah, and at Muscle Hut gym at Kawana. She is sponsored by Harris Stability Systems and Mass Nutrition Kawana.

Ms Curnow is more than happy to field enquiries about the sport through her Facebook site: “Strongwoman - Alana Curnow”.

Meantime, her three children – Liana, Hayley and Theon - are quite fine with her muscle-bound pastime.

“They love it,” she said.

“They tell everyone that their mum is the strongest woman in Australia, and she is.”

Next step: strongest in the world!

By Richard BruinsmaShhh! Don’t tell the parents of the happy couple, but that cheeky, daring and somewhat frowned-upon marital method known as eloping is now very

much in fashion.

It was once the practice of the self-centred, of hippies, and those living life irresponsibly on the edge, but all that is fast changing.

The concept of running

away to tie the knot with a loved one, without the spiralling cost and headaches of organising a full wedding, is proving more and more alluring for Australia’s young love birds.

For Sunshine Coast couple Renee and Terry Wootton, a “more affordable” wedding in the Sunshine Coast hinterland suited them perfectly.

“We decided on the elopement package because we had been together for over seven years and have two beautiful children, so getting married was more about us as a family, not about how many guests we should have,” Mrs Wootton said.

“It was about uniting us as one - and who doesn't want a no-stress, doesn't-break-the-bank-account wedding?”

In a nod to the public acceptance of eloping, she assured they certainly weren’t motivated by a desire to rock any establishments.

“We definitely didn't rebel - although a few people were annoyed – we only had us on our minds and what we wanted.”

Major media organisations are reporting similar spikes in elopments globally, fuelled mostly by couples being too busy to organise a full wedding and choosing to “go affordable” to meet tightening household budgets.

The term elopement has filtered over to now describe all sorts of small weddings — both impulsive and pre-planned.

Sunshine Coaster Kristen Jenner has captured this growing section of the wedding market by launching Pash & Dash, a business that specialises in wedding “packages” like elopements and small weddings for up to 20 guests.

She noted that many couples still wanted the “wedding experience” without having to spend “a house deposit” to

achieve a memorable special day.

She describes her services as “affordable quality”.

“They want a lovely wedding experience without the unnecessary things,” Ms Jenner said.

“They like getting something affordable, but high end and stress free - because we organise everything.”

Pash & Dash was launched around 12 months ago. Since then it has continued to field growing demand for their wedding alternatives.

The services were on display recently at the sixth annual Hinterland Wedding Summer Showcase, at Maleny.

The event, which showcases the most up-to-date and inspiring options available for today’s weddings, is growing to become an unmissable expo for the would-be brides and grooms of South East Queensland.

The promotion of elopments is a very much accepted part of the industry.

“We didn't want a big over-the-top wedding and the expense that goes with it,” Mrs Wootton said.

“It's paid for and done with; it’s definitely a relief.

“We had both sets of parents at the ceremony - they thought it was lovely and were very happy for us.”

Among the modus operandi of the Pash & Dash small weddings is to host back-to-back ceremonies utilising the one set up, so that the overall cost can be shared with up to four couples.

“I would recommend this to other couples,” Mrs Wootton said.

“It was such an amazing experience and just a down right lovely time.”

Kristen Jenner says her business Pash & Dash, which specialises in weddings for elopers, is growing strongly along with the demand for affordable weddings. Photo: Richard Bruinsma

102 McDonald Rd Windsor, Q 4030.

By Richard BruinsmaYou can feel the love and respect while driving the streets of Coolum in a cool convertible 1912 Cadillac.

With its royal blue paint, its glistening fittings and rebuilt engine, the Cox family’s fully restored prestige beauty is still attracting attention wherever she goes – just as it would’ve been when she first rolled off the construction line.

Trevor Cox, complete with his enthusiastic eyes and his generous horseshoe moustache, is the caretaker of the Caddy, which was restored to its immaculate condition by his late father Noel.

“He loved it,” Mr Cox said of his father. “He’d take it to car shows and talk to people for hours about it.”

And it’s no surprise. The Cadillac is somewhat of a people magnet. A cruise around Coolum attracted cheers from subbies on a building site, thumbs up from a passing truckie and a cheeky smile from a mum on her way to do the school pick up.

The car was imported from the USA and arrived in Australia most likely in the years soon after its construction.

Noel discovered the

machine in 1963 when its best years were seemingly behind it, when he peered between the old timber doors of a forgotten tin shed in Allora, near Warwick.

By then, it was clapped out and in terrible condition, and little wonder.

“It had been cut down into a utility, with a little tray back, and it was used at Roma as a shooting buggy to pick up dead kangaroos,” Trevor said.

The front end,

including the headlights, was dented and scratched from ploughing through bushland and running over tree stumps and sticks.

But its poor condition didn’t faze Noel. He bought it for £22 from the owner Bill Budd and then spent many years rebuilding and restoring it to its former glory.

“He dragged it home, the lights were all dented, but everything was there bar the

windscreen and back half of the body,” his son Trevor explained.

“He said, ‘I’ve got 90% of the parts, so let’s do it’.”

The mammoth project did create some marital tension with his wife Norma, and it wasn’t till after she passed away that he was able to commit to actually finishing the project.

The painstaking effort Noel took to rebuild the machine is almost unfathomable.

The bonnet was handmade after the original was unsalvageable and he could find no one else who would do the job for him.

The large metal headlights were laboriously panel

beaten back into their original shape.

The black radiator cap was recrafted by a dental technician friend in Oakey, who used the same material used for dentures and then coloured it using soot from his chimney.

The rag top’s timber ribs were hand made by Noel and part of the frame was rebuilt using the tapered legs from an old kitchen table.

As for the engine, the former cast iron pistons were replaced by aluminium pistons that were moulded in Yandina and then cast and finished in Helidon.

The Cadillac Model 30 Tourer was eventually resprayed in its original vibrant blue to mirror as it would have looked

the day it rolled off the showroom floor.

The Cadillac was the first car to have an electric starter and electric lights. Its selling price in 1912 was $1800, compared to a standard Model T Ford at around $400.

Noel drove the restored Cadillac proudly for several years before he passed away in April 2013, and it was handed down to Trevor and his older siblings Paul and Wendy.

Trevor also owns a 1935 Chevrolet Standard and a restored 1969 Valiant.

The Cadillac is now for sale, but that doesn’t stop Trevor from rolling it out of the garage occasionally for an

enthusiastic cruise around the Sunshine Coast - the smiles and waves it attracts makes it all that more enjoyable.

Trevor and his car were among scores of enthusiasts at the Sunshine Coast Antique Car Club sign on day at the Nambour Showgrounds last weekend.

New team to boost Coastal paperThe new owner of the Coolum and North Shore Advertiser is determined to revamp the paper as a great read that also supports the region.

Kerry Brown, who has taken control of the newspaper from this edition, said it represented an exciting opportunity to get involved in what she described as "an exciting and close knit" community.

"It's a very exciting and challenging time for our business and the staff," Mrs Brown said.

Mrs Brown has been publishing the Sunshine Valley Gazette, in the area covering Palmwoods, Woombye, Mooloolah, Forest Glen, the Range and surrounds, for the past four years.

The acquisition of the Coolum and North Shore Advertiser represents an extension

into a new region.

"We've been publishing a small local and parochial newspaper that is really popular in the hinterland, we've been continually increasing circulation in response to the growing demand for the paper, and we're hoping we can create the same public support for this new paper," Mrs Brown said.

"Having the paper in Coolum and the North Shore means a significant addition to the circulation area we already service, and we're looking forward to getting out and about and making a positive difference here.

"Coolum and surrounds are similar to the hinterland in that they are both very close knit and they really care about what goes on in their community.

"The future of print media is in parochial

community papers because people really care about what goes on in their back yards.

The hinterland paper has been very well received and we hope to emulate the success in the Coolum and North Shore area by reporting the stories that may not make the major media but are of great interest to people who live in the circulation area."

The paper is keen to hear ideas for local stories so if you have any tips, make sure you email them to the editor at [email protected]

TONY Gibson, The Greens Sunshine Coast Mayoral candidate, is calling for effective governance and community participation in decision-making within Sunshine Coast Council.

Mr Gibson is launching The Greens: Effective Governance Making Democracy Work For You policy to bring attention to what he sees as the lack of transparency, accountability and integrity in the way the Council currently

operates.“The Greens are committed to the democratic process. Our policy ensures that Council is more transparent, inclusive, reliable and supportive to the community,” Mr Gibson said.

The Greens in Council would reintroduce a Committee structure to enable public discussion and debate of issues before recommendations are made to a Full Council meeting.

“Sunshine Coast Council is one of only six councils

of the nearly 80 councils around Queensland that do not have a committee structure,” he said.“The process of items coming from a committee before the Council allows public debate and more collaboration and consultation.” “Also, the new g o v e r n a n c e arrangements will include establishing certain key advisory committees containing community and business representatives,” Mr Gibson said.

The range of advisory

committees would include areas such as innovative and sustainable villages, indigenous heritage, affordable housing, arts and community services.

“Bringing back the community participation into the Council processes should help to ensure the Planning Scheme is observed so the Sunshine Coast can retain its clean and green identity.

“We are instigating a real culture change within Sunshine Coast Council,” Gibson said.

LAST Saturday’s A r t work s 4Re s e a rch ex h ib it ion+auct ion, organised by Coolum artist John Fuller, proved to be a huge success, with the whole event raising over $4,000 from the art and donations.

More than 80 people attended the exhibition, for which Coolum solicitor Ray Barber transformed his Heathfield Street office into a gallery for the evening.

“I hope that others in town can discover how to turn private spaces into public spaces,” Ray Barber said. “Coolum is continuing its long tradition of valuing friendships.”

The exhibition was devised as a fundraiser for cancer research and support for Trish Robson, senior art teacher at Coolum High, who had begun a

battle with cancer.

“Between treatments, she produced work, using the making of art as a cathartic process and, through the exhibition, discovering

other travellers on the journey with health,” John Fuller said.

“Art can heal, can explain, can bring together, and can reflect community resilience.”

Huge support for Artworks4Research

Father-of-three Duane Heath has always been suspicious of those mystery numbers found in the ingredients list of most food products.

But when he dug a little deeper and researched exactly what they are, he virtually broke out in a cold sweat.

Hidden behind those

numbers were a range of additives and chemicals that had even more h a rd- to -u nder s t a nd names that gave little away in terms of their health benefits or, rather, health dangers.

The chemicals and preservatives are so common in everyday foods, it’s getting harder

and harder to eliminate them from an ordinary diet.

“I have a concern for my own kids and for the kids of other families too,” Mr Heath said, “and so it annoys me now that you can’t buy much healthy food anymore.”

He noticed that some food labels promoted healthy ingredients, but on closer inspection, those ingredients were often minimal in quantity and overwhelmed by the chemicals.

However, Mr Heath, a serial entrepreneur, addressed his fears by creating his own natural mayonnaise, called Moonshine Mayo, which is totally without any chemical ingredients.

Its ingredients include free range eggs, olive oil, hand-squeezed lime juice, Himalayan rock salt and honey in place of sugar. There are none of those components that have numbers instead of real names, and no seed oils.

“I love my cooking, but I love healthy cooking and cooking for longevity is a passion,” he said.

“I just want to give my kids the best chance at a healthy life.”

He noted that olive

oil was notable because it was extracted by simply squeezing the olives, whereas many other oils, including most seed oils, required chemical processes to extract the oil.

“I think a big reason why big companies don’t use olive oil is it’s more expensive, and preservatives are used to keep the products on

the shelf for a year or more,” he said.

“But it’s those preservatives that are questionable.”

Mr Heath has also created Moonshine Mayo versions that include garlic and chilli.

For more information, visit his Facebook page by searching “Moonshine Mayo”.

If you have a food product or recipe, especially something that has an interesting background story, let Richard know at c o o l u m a d v e r t i s e r @bigpond.com or phone 0438 434 012.

Fear over mystery numbers triggers tasty natural mayo

Taste TestA test of Moonshine Mayo showed it had a wonderful creaminess without the textural blandness that can feature in commercial products. The olive oil gave it a natural texture and the lime juice helped to really give it a tang. I actually enjoyed spooning the Moonshine Mayo straight from the bottle and into my mouth, and also used it quite liberally on fried bacon which produced a quite spectacular flavour combination.

Call for effective governance

YOUNG people between the ages of 10 and 14 who have a passion for the environment are urged to consider joining the Eco-Detectives.

“It’s fun, free, and for families. You get to be a

leader and help turtles, plants, and animals on the Sunshine Coast … Come and solve problems, uncover mysteries, and discover our world” were the messages developed by an initial six youths who attended the two-hour

orientation program on February 20.

Organiser of the Coolum and North Shore Coast Care program, Diane Goodwillie, said the youth decided to name the group Eco-Detectives, learned about turtle protection, and proceeded to review newspaper articles and develop photos to be submitted to the press.

“The aims of the program are to discover more about the Sunshine Coast environment, to develop leadership and communication skills, and to make a difference in local communities and their plants and animals,” Diane said.

Over the past three years, Coolum and North Shore Coast Care has pioneered family-centered self-discovery environment workshops for children aged three to 10.

Detailed plans to register for another four workshops from June to September will be announced later in the year.

“This year’s themes will include sand dunes for good turtle habitat, Aboriginal stories of mangroves, photography and wildflowers, and developing nature artists,” Diane said.

“But this year, we will feature youth trailblazers 10 to 14 taking a leadership role.”

The call went out to children of Coast Care members, and was

Lions club highlights elder abuseTHE Maroochy North Shore Lions were addressed by Deanne Lawrie from the Uniting Care Elder Abuse Unit, when they held their dinner-meeting last Tuesday.

Lions members were informed that an alarming 5% of the population over 65 years of age suffer financial, psychological, physical or social abuse.

“To try and counteract this alarming situation, Uniting Care have established an Elder

Abuse Hotline which can be contacted by those suffering abuse to offer them support and referrals to people who may be able to help them,” Ms Lawrie said.

She added that the service is funded by the Queensland Government.

Maroochy North Shore Lions urge community members who may have concerns in this area to contact the hotline on 1300 651 192.

LIONS’ GUEST-SPEAKER: Deanne Lawrie from Uniting Care Seniors Abuse Unit with Clive Ben-nett from Maroochy North Shore Lions.

Coast Care kicks off “detectives” program

DEVELOPING LEADERS: The first meeting of Eco-Detectives included a discussion about turtle nest protection, and arranging photos for the media. Interested 10- to 14-year-olds are still welcome to join.

introduced through a presentation to students at Good Shepherd Lutheran School.

An initial six youths attended the two-hour orientation program, with one participant saying: “The meeting was fun and we learned things. We must tell other 10- to 14-year-olds to join.”

The program consists of self-discovery about the environment, with a ‘learning by doing’ approach (not boring lectures by adults). It includes Toastmaster types of exercises that promote youth leadership and communication skills.

Any interested students between the age of 10 and 14 who can attend monthly sessions on the third Sunday of each month from

10am to 12noon should contact Coolum and North Shore Coast Care on 0478 435 377 or email [email protected].

There is no cost for the program but adults must accompany the young people.

Reject BunningsWith just over two weeks until the Council Election, let us hope that all Division 9 Candidates realise that it is politically inadvisable for them to approve Bunnings’ proposed monstrosity for the western entrance to Coolum.The argument some proponents that they

are “Tired of driving into Maroochydore or Noosa” is both flimsy and ridiculous when one considers that either destination is only 10-15 minutes along the motorway in either direction.Furthermore, when submissions were being taken for the new planning scheme, residents expressed support for zoning the site for Bunnings as rural and disallowing development.P r e p o s t e r o u s suggestion from a local person that the Council be subject to a compensation claim stretching into the millions by Bunnings is just that.Coolum and the surrounding area does

not have the population to support a Bunnings, Maroochydore does, and Bunnings’ “lowest prices guarantee” would it an unfair advantage, hence Council must, without hesitation, reject the Bunnings proposal just like it and the court did in 2006-7!P. WYNN - Coolum Beach

Increase domestic flights Before Council seeks international flights direct to the Sunshine Coast Airport become a reality, what is more urgently needed domestic flights to centres other than Melbourne and Sydney

from here, rather than from Brisbane.It is unrealistic to press for international planes to land and depart, while locals have no access directly to Perth, Darwin, Adelaide and Cairns from the Sunshine Coast, while we have the facility and the demand. It is ridiculous for travellers to head south to Brisbane to go north to Townsville, Cairns and Rockhampton. It is ludicrous. Charity begins at home. Look after the local flights, providing a better service than having to get to Brisbane Airport to travel our own country capitals. That is more pressing a need.If the powers that be look after the needs

of locals, depending on quick access to regional centres and capital cities not already serviced from here, it would attract another clientele which brings in prosperity for Australian business and investors and our own economy. The lack of accessibility to all major capitals hinders our prospects. Never mind trying to win friends and influence overseas interests; Council should be looking to invest in Australian companies and our local economy with Australian developers and investors willing to give us a try.Vote for commonsense. At present Council’s vision for international status for our Airport

is a bridge too far. It is not what we need, nor is it practical, when we can’t access our own major Australian centres from here, much the frustration of. Let the internationals to Brisbane. We need more domestic flights to and from here, to boost our economy, already hindered by the lack.E. ROWE - Marcoola

Councillors’ rolesMy impression of the current Sunshine Coast Council is that it is moribund and opaque, with elected councillors tolerating staff underperformance in several areas. Recreation, Local Laws and Parks come to mind, going on local

experience.Councillors have lost the plot in respect of their governance role. We don’t have a CEO, though we are still paying for the old one. Reporting is severely limited, and the various projects touted by our mayor cannot be analysed properly.The risk is that the major ventures are wasting money. While it may suit those elected to be spared from scrutiny, the price paid by ratepayers and the community is high.We need our elected officials to understand their governance roles, to commit to refreshing management and to restore transparency.KEN DREDGE

Where is the mayor?Efforts are being made to advance the democratic processes in the upcoming Council elections on the Sunshine Coast.However Coolum’s Election Forum for Divisions 8 and 9 to be held on March 8 does not also include the mayoral candidates. Why is that?Could it be that the Mayor does not respect the Town Plan’s vision of the majority of Coolum residents, and is determined to turn the Sunshine Coast into another Gold Coast?RICHARD KOERNER - Coolum Beach

Compromised integrityMayor Jamieson is reported as saying (SCD 16/2/16): “The majority of my supporters are the same as previously.” This is of great concern to those of us who believe our local government representatives should display a very high degree of integrity.Before the 2012 elections, our mayor amassed a staggering $160,000 in campaign donations. Of course, we didn’t know about this until

well after the election. Jamieson’s donors who were associated with the development industry contributed $90,000 of that large sum. As well as developers, these donors included civil engineering and construction companies, town planners,, commercial real estate agents, lawyers and individuals who work for these businesses.And the Mayor tells us that this lot is lining up again to compromise his integrity. LEFLEY BAKER

Not ‘good news’Of course you’ll get good news when you quote a salesman who will tell you just what you want to hear (Letters, February 25). And what a salesman too, none other than the Vice-President of Boeing!Ms Leckie, I suggest that if you are leading the anti-new-runway campaign for the Sunshine Coast Airport, you get yourself a good researcher who can provide some facts to your communications, because now your words are merely one-sided inaccurate drivel.So Virgin is a major user of the Sunshine Coast Airport? Did you

even look at their flight schedule, Ms Leckie? One flight a day to Melbourne, and one flight a day to Sydney and you class that as a major service? (VA schedule for Wednesday, March 2, 2016.)In reality, long-distance air travellers prefer to fly on wide-body jets, as Aviation WA June 2015 reports: “Western Australians are happy that Qantas will resume regular international services from Perth, but some are disappointed with the choice of narrowbody Boeing 737s. Competitors offer large widebody aircraft; Singapore Airlines operates four flights per day with larger Airbus A330-300 and Boeing 777-200ER aircraft, whilst its low-cost subsidiary Scoot offers once daily services with the new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.”As for your glowing endorsement of Boeing’s sales pitch, Ms Leckie, Airliners.net from September 2014 raises some interesting points on the Boeing 737 MAX, as paraphrased here for your convenience. This aircraft can seat 200 people, but it will have reduced onboard facilities, like an extra galley and an additional toilet

needed for the increased passenger numbers and, with the same amount of overhead locker space as smaller 737s, imagine the fuss when late-boarding passengers try to put their (always) oversized carry-on bags in the lockers. Seat pitch and width is reduced too, “the narrower 17.2-inch-wide seat on the 737, compared with the 18-inch-wide seat on the A320, had to be offset by seat pitch, which is now more cramped (on the 737 MAX).Will the larger, heavier 737 MAX aircraft have any issues landing on the current runway at Sunshine Coast Airport in poor weather?Why class visitors to the Sunshine Coast and locals who use the Sunshine Coast Airport facilities as second-class? I happily support the local airport but, if there is going to be a reduction in service because airlines are cramming more passengers onto less flights, then local business and tourism will suffer.Just the facts from now on if you don’t mind, thanks, Ms Leckie.

sportCoolum & North Shore sportStudents encouraged to ride to school this FridayN A T I O N A L Ride2School Day is the perfect opportunity for Australian students and school communities to embrace a healthier start and to try walking and riding to school.

National Ride2School Day 2016 falls on Friday, March 4, with its purpose being to show school communities that riding to school is an easy and fun activity.

President of the Coolum Beach State High School P&C, John Fuller, said the day is a chance to celebrate riding to school and prove it can be done.

“We are encouraging students to ride by offering fresh fruit at the bike rack when they arrive, plus an opportunity to pump up their tyres if necessary,” John Fuller said.

“Riding is known as

a healthy way to travel and, as the school population expands, cycling has a low impact on the school congestion.”

Mr Fuller added that there would also be some information collection.

“We’d like to know what improvements the students and parents think would help to make the ride to school more enjoyable,” he said.

“We would like to hear from parents who can help and, from their input, the P&C may be able to create a plan to make this form of transport more attractive.”

Parents who would like to help the P&C with this or other initiatives can contact John Fuller on [email protected].
