In the first Rio selection trial, the pair staved off a late challenge from Jo Brigden-Jones and Naomi Flood to win in 1min47.82sec. The victory has them in the box seat ahead of the second trial to take place at the National Sprint Championships in Perth next mon..>> view originalRomance far away but not forgotten
WHILE Valentine's Day is being celebrated by couples far and wide today, spare a thought for lovers whose work commitments mean they are spending it apart. And when that distance is half-a-world away, the heart-felt feelings can be even more intense. Add to that a forest full of dangerous wild animals on one hand and commitments with Tanawha children and running a household on the other, romance could easily go out the window. But not for Noosa-based actress and entertainer Jo Beth T..>> view originalLockouts fail to solve problem: Clubs boss
THE President of Clubs Australia and Chairman of Clubs NSW, who was on the Sunshine Coast yesterday, says the 1am lockout laws will not solve alcohol-fuelled violence. Peter Newell was at the Coolum Surf Club yesterday morning for a breakfast conference on corporate governance. He said while he had "enormous sympathy" for victims of one-punch attacks like former Sunshine Coast teen Cole Miller, early lockouts were not the "be-all-and-end-all" to curbing the attacks. "It's not solving..>> view originalDrinking into the early hours leaves bitter taste
I WAS invited to a debate/discussion the other night about lockout laws and what direction the state should be going to try and make the streets safer. Unfortunately I couldn't attend but I wrote a few notes for the facilitator which really got me thinking about these issues. At the same time as I received the invitation I read a story about the Pelican Waters Tavern applying for a 3am licence and it being approved? Now I don't really blame the authorities as they can only follow guidel..>> view originalWoman killed by runaway car

ACCOUNTS manager Sue Etheridge is no stranger to the polling booth, having stood for the Greens at two state elections. This Sunshine Coast Council poll differs primarily because she enters an intriguing battle in Division Six where all three candidates to nominate to date are females. Ms Etheridge, who lives at Ilkley, lines up against sitting Councillor Jenny McKay and Yvonne Dalziel of Palmwoods with no candidates yet emerging from the division's western flank of the Blackall Range a..>> view originalTigers edge Storm in Coast NRL trial
WESTS fans should be worried for 2016 after their side scraped home 18-16 against a second-string Storm outfit in an NRL trial at Sunshine Coast Stadium last night. The Tigers fielded a team boasting stars Robbie Farah, Luke Brooks, Mitchell Moses and Tim Grant, but looked shaky against a young Melbourne team full of NRL fringe players. "There was some really good stuff done and we were really happy with a lot of it, but there was a fair bit there that was pretty ugly," Tigers coach Jas..>> view originalSupporters join couple in quest to help Oscar
IF bad luck comes in threes then Oscar should now be in the clear. The four-year-old staffy has had his fair share of expensive challenges in his lifetime, but owners Tamika Carey and Guy Price would do anything for their loveable fur baby. The Caloundra couple had sold clothes, new shoes, bean bags and other household items to make a start on raising the $7500 needed for Oscar to undergo his latest round of surgery - this time to correct bulging discs in his spine.
