Eumundi Voice - Issue 72, 6 July 2023

Page 1

The production of our small magazine each fortnight brings together not only Rotarians but volunteer writers, deliverers and local organisations allowing us to share information and importantly form connections across our vibrant and diverse community.

Outgoing Rotary President Les Godwin has been a stalwart in the Eumundi community. He is a founding member, foundation president and has just completed his fourth term in the role. Les highlighted the year's achievements in the community, youth, international and vocational portfolios.

End-of-year donations were made to: Polio Plus, Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) towards families affected by the Hunter Valley bus accident, GoFundMe to support local Brodie to purchase a van to fit his wheelchair, Coast2bay social housing, Kidney Car Rally Blokes and the Cancer Council from funds raised earlier in the year from the club's Biggest Morning Tea event.

A special part of the evening was the recognition of two outstanding club members, Julie Cross and Greg Ison, who were presented with the prestigious Paul Harris Fellow (PHF) in recognition of their dedication and service. Julie has been instrumental in initiating and running the school-wide service club EarlyAct at Eumundi State School. Greg has been key to the success of several international projects and has been the club provisional officer for events for many years.

Incoming President Joyce Turnbull graciously accepted the Chain of Office with the assistance of Eric Wood PDG, outlining a new shared model

of leadership for the role with members given the opportunity to plan, chair and communicate the outcomes of each meeting on a monthly turnabout basis.

The evening concluded with Member for Ninderry Dan Purdie giving a vote of thanks on behalf of the community and Greg Ison sharing the gift of laughter by telling his “best ever joke”, with at least one guest commenting, “I don’t get it!”

Walk on the wildflower side

Bookings are open for the Sunshine Coast Wildflower Festival which is specifically timed around the flowering of the Wallum heath species. For wildflower enthusiasts there is a program of around 25 guided walks and workshops from 19 August to 3 September, from Bribie Island to Noosa.

Sunshine Coast Environment and Liveability

Portfolio Cr Peter Cox said the event attracts up to 500 people annually. “Kathleen McArthur is an artist, author, environmentalist and founding member of the Wildlife Preservation Society of Qld and developed the festival in 1967. Since then it has grown into a much anticipated event with local community groups hosting activities,” he said. Visit: events.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.

GoFundMe for a brave young man

I initially heard about Brodie through friends of ours and thought how devastating that another unfortunate young man had a debilitating condition that would cause his life to end

prematurely. Then I met Lauren, a nurse who has been working alongside Brodie as his primary carer for five years and is determined to help improve his situation for the time he has left.

Brodie Taylor is 27 years old and inspires everyone who meets him. Aged 8 he was diagnosed with Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) which is a devastating genetic illness with no cure. His prognosis was not good – a short couple of years at best – but he is a fighter! Despite being nonverbal Brodie is a very social person who loves to laugh and always has a smile on his face.

Lauren takes Brodie out and about every day and they are often seen at Sunshine Plaza and the local pool. Along the way he has developed severe scoliosis which requires him to use a custom wheelchair. With the assistance of the NDIS Brodie will receive a new wheelchair, however his family's small car is not big enough to fit it and he will need a van to help give him access to the community.

Lauren is passionate about improving his situation for the undetermined time he has left.

“Brodie has given both myself and my three children inspiration and many laughs. He is a determined young man with many dreams and has achieved so much in his short life already and I am forever grateful to be his support worker. He inspires me to keep going, push through any struggles, breakdown barriers and just get on with it,” said Lauren.

Lauren has set up a GoFundMe page to help raise funds to purchase a suitable, second-hand van for Brodie. If you would like to help this young man with a fighting spirit visit: gofund. me/cfc47925. Greg Ison

Noosa EV Expo

Organisers of this year’s Noosa EV Expo were excited to see the crowds turn out on 18 June. Visitors were treated to EV exhibits, guest speakers, trial rides, music and more.

That’s a wrap!

That’s a wrap for this year’s Sunny Coast Showdown competition with the announcement of the winner of this year’s golden ‘Yewwy’ at an event held in the heart of Maroochydore CBD on 24 June.

The crowd walked the red carpet to gather under the stars on deckchairs and watch three captivating short films, a mesmerising music video, two thought-provoking documentaries and a reality-style program. Each project reflected the boundless creativity of our local talent.

From the entries there could be only one winner with the golden ‘Yewwy’ going to the film Skate or Cry. The movie is a ‘Tia Pitman documentary’ directed by Jakob Lydford that was filmed and produced locally in Tinbeerwah and Cooroy. The documentary is about a local Indigenous girl Tia Pitman, her life and story as an Indigenous rollerskater and how she finds creative freedom, selfexpression and connection to country.

The documentary highlights the work that Terri Waller from SevGen – a registered charity and not-for-profit organisation – does with Indigenous youth and showcases the beautiful Galeru: Forever Fruits farm in Cooroy throughout.

The visionaries behind the Sunny Coast Showdown are Jon Coghill and Dan Munday and their passion and dedication were celebrated throughout the evening. They extended thanks to key industry and government partners including Screen Qld and Bendigo Bank whose ongoing support is vital to the sustainability of the industry on the Sunshine Coast.

So, where to from here?

“For the winners whose projects were premiered on 24 June we hope to help them get their films onto the festival circuit or out to the buyers’ market. For the Showdown committee the biggest wins of the project were the relationships we developed and momentum we gained. We hope to use these relationships to attract more projects to the area and ultimately build substantial studios on the Sunny Coast,” said Dan.

While Bendigo Bank has committed to ongoing funding for the event next year, Dan said Showdown 3.0’s future will rest heavily on local and state governments and agencies steppingup in a significant way.

“This year we raised almost $200,000, 95% of which went straight into the pockets of more than 50 locals hired to work on the seven projects. To run the project at the same level with everyone involved being paid requires almost $325,000 … That’s what we need to do this again.

16 SUNNY COAST SHOWDOWN

“Showdown has always been about proving we can make great content and showcasing the amazing talent and locations we have. This has already proved to be the defining factor in scaling Showdown 400% from year one to year two. If we can get the finance for year three then the level of projects we produce will be the tipping point to prove Showdown is a vital part of building a larger industry here.

“Creating incentives for interstate and international productions to shoot here, constructing world-class sound stages or studios and changing Screen Qld’s classification of the Sunshine Coast from metropolitan to regional would allow us to get more financial assistance to grow the industry.

“In 2021, $465M was spent in Qld on film and TV projects – almost none of that was on the Sunshine Coast. If that’s not enough to turn heads, I don’t know what is!

This money doesn’t just go into the hands of actors and directors.” A huge proportion of the production spend ends up in the hands of everyday people as film employs and contracts a wide variety of trades, professionals and services.

“Film and TV could be a major industry here on the coast in the next decade, employing thousands of people in related services and providing much needed creative training and jobs for those looking to pursue careers in the arts.”

they’re breeding in those places or whether they’re simply hanging out,” she said. “Maybe it’s a roosting site. Perhaps it’s an important aggregation place where different flocks come together at certain times of year. Is it the juveniles or is it just adults? What’s the demographic structure?”

Community battery plan for Noosa

Noosa is a step closer to owning one of Qld’s first community batteries with Noosa Council recently endorsing a plan to begin contract negotiations with not-for-profit Yarra Energy Foundation (YEF).

Council secured a $500,000 federal government Batteries for Household Solar grant in February in partnership with YEF and not-for-profit Zero Emissions Noosa Inc. (ZEN Inc).

A community battery is a mid-scale energy storage unit around the size of four large fridges that is embedded in the network allowing for shared energy storage. Council’s Carbon Reduction Project Officer Annie Nolan said community batteries act as giant sponges, soaking up unused renewable energy that household solar panels feed into the power grid by day.

“They store that renewable energy from the sun then discharge it back to the grid at night when demand for power is greatest. With community ownership of the battery, renewable energy and potential revenue stay local.”

Noosa is one of just six councils among the 52 entities to receive federal funding for batteries with most of the grants given to distribution network service providers such as Energex. Visit: zeroemissionsnoosa.com.au/communitybatteries.

The male Geisha

The life of the Geisha is a private world so it is a rare privilege to be invited to observe a Maiko –apprentice Geisha – training session. This is even more so when the instructing senior is the only male Geisha in Tokyo.

Modern Geisha are highly trained in traditional Japanese arts of dance, music and singing as well as the art of conversation and the life of a Maiko means several years of rigorous training in return for only board and lodging. No wonder

that in the modern world their numbers are falling and in fact our Maiko, Hangyuko, is currently the only apprentice in Tokyo.

How did she get to this position? It’s not as if it is an option generally offered in school career courses. Hangyuko came to Tokyo from her hometown after finishing junior high school and auditioned for the role. In return for her long years of training she will achieve a highly privileged position in Japanese society. But what of her mentor, Eitarou? How did a male enter this world?

Geishas live in private lodgings known as okiya and Eitarou’s mother ran an okiya. When she died it seemed that her okiya would have to close but Eitarou’s love of performance led him to take over the business and continue this tradition which is a quintessential part of Japanese culture.

Eitarou and Hangyuko working together was a delight to behold and a strong reminder of the Geisha’s elite role in Japanese performing arts.

22 HISTORY

functional assessments, driving assessments, paediatric therapy and lower cost health improvement options.”

Alwyn’s passion for working in the aged care sector has more recently seen him become a passionate political advocate, fighting for better funding for allied healthcare in the aged care sector.

In early 2021 Alwyn tried to find out more about the Australian National Aged Care Classification (AN-ACC) funding model that was announced after the Royal Commission into aged care. The AN-ACC provides subsidies to approved aged care providers based on the service type and each resident's care needs. Not being able to find any information on how physiotherapists would be funded to provide services such as evidencebased falls prevention, exercise or equipment prescriptions he put together a working group of aged care professionals to share information.

“I started asking the Dept of Health and wrote to Senator Colbeck about my mother-in-law who lives on the Sunshine Coast. If she needed a nursing home, what she would be able to receive from a physiotherapist in the nursing home and what she would have to pay?” Receiving no definitive response from the government Alwyn decided something had to be done.

“I started two Change petitions with each one receiving 20,000 signatures. They were lodged by Senator Janet Rice of the Australian Greens who, regardless of people’s political views, has been an astounding and realistic advocate for aged care and allied health. I was also invited to write submissions to the Senate in November 2021 and August 2022 and to the Qld State Parliament

in December 2021 which received a lot of media attention at the aged care roundtable.

“I never would have come this far without the support of other grassroots activists such as Amina Schipp from Aged Care Reform who called me when I put my petition out, along with organisations such as Services for Australian Rural and Remote Allied Health and Aged Care Justice.

“The Royal Commission recommended that 8 mins/resident/day of allied health was inadequate to stop older people deteriorating. It’s now at 1.5 mins/resident/day, less than a quarter than what it was two years ago despite good intentions and billions spent on aged care reforms. Allied health levels are currently nowhere near what older people need to manage pain, prevent falls and deaths.

“When we're talking about allied health levels in aged care we're not just talking numbers. We're talking about real people, our mums, dads and friends in homes in our communities who may die from preventable death causes without the allied health that they need clinically.”

EV (Eumundi Voice) on EVs

Buying a new car? Not only do you now have to consider the size, model, aesthetics and running costs but also whether to go petrol, diesel, hybrid or electric. There are many considerations in changing from conventional petrol/diesel to electric.

For more than a century combustion engines have been the norm with the choices petrol or diesel. We are familiar with terms like miles per gallon for us older folk or kilometres per litre. Now we have to figure out wattage, amps and how and where to charge – you almost need a degree in electrical engineering!

Electric vehicles (EVs) offer many benefits but also have some disadvantages when compared to conventional cars. On the pro-side electric cars are energy efficient, good for the environment and don't require as much maintenance as traditional petrol-driven cars. On the con-side, upfront costs are sometimes prohibitive. You may not travel as far on a ‘full tank’ and the actual recharging process takes longer than refuelling a car although recharging stations do provide rapid charging points.

All EVs have a charging port and most take the same kind of charger except for Tesla, although they are all basically cross-compatible if you have the right adaptor. The cost to charge depends on the cost of electricity measured in cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) – you can find the rate on your electricity bill.

Charging is obviously an important element of owning an EV. They can be charged at home or at charging stations. Home charging can be done either by plugging into an existing wall socket or with a charging station. If you plug-in with a standard wall outlet you'll get about 6km of range per hour of charging. A typical at-home charger will give you about 30-50km of range for every hour the car is plugged-in. The battery can therefore be fully charged overnight.

Some cars have the ability to control the level of charge while others at the cheaper end do not. For those cars that don’t have the internal controls the charging station will charge the car at maximum amperage. This is fine if you have solar panels and are charging during the day however if you intend to charge overnight it may impact your use of other electrical goods including stoves, washing machines etc. Get advice from an electrician if you are thinking of buying an EV. Welcome to the New Age!

BOOK REVIEW

The Good Wife of Bath – A pilgrimage into the past

Do students still read The Canterbury Tales or even one of the rollicking yarns written by Geoffrey Chaucer around 1400?

Generations of English school students studied one of the ‘tamer’ tales using Neville Coghill’s modern version and then secretly read the raunchier stories while parents thought it was homework!

Chaucer’s characters, mostly inspired by people he knew, set out on pilgrimage from the Tabard Inn, Southwark travelling to the shrine of Saint Thomas a’ Becket at Canterbury. They decided to tell stories along the way with a prize for the best one.

Pilgrimages were the medieval version of modern bus tours with strangers thrown together for days, travelling across Europe, visiting various attractions and buying tea-towels and fridge magnets. Pilgrims would visit a sacred shrine where their sins were forgiven. They would buy souvenirs or ‘pardons’ such as a phial of Christ’s tears or Mary Magdalene’s toenail clipping to show off to neighbours.

The Wife of Bath boasts of her five marriages and her insatiable appetite for sex despite the harsh treatment she received in a world ruled by men. Karen Brooks brings Alyson to life, telling her own tale in her own language, expressing powerful emotions as life presents raw deals and rewards in a truly authentic medieval setting.

At just 12yo she is married to an old man and quickly realises that women have less value than a horse. Determined to control her own life she battles the whole of society, including husbands, often bringing death and disaster to those she loves.

Karen takes real people and events and entwines them into her tale just as Chaucer did. It is a long read but unforgettable. You don’t need to have read The Canterbury Tales but it made me find my Coghill version from some 65 years ago with my maiden name written inside. Eileen Walder
