A
few months ago we went on a week’s holiday to Hamilton Island. It had been a while since I’d had time off (about two years, in fact, but who’s counting?) and after a grey Sunshine Coast winter I was ready for a bit of sunshine, maybe a dip or two in the ocean, some long, leisurely walks and a pleasant boat trip to the surrounding islands. After the fifth day of rain I stopped pretending I wasn’t bothered by the grey skies that consistently delivered a cold drizzle which drenched the golf cart seats. On our last full day the sun emerged and our spirits rose along with the mercury. Us humans like to think we are in control of things but the weather has a way of reminding us how small we are, so this week I take a look at what is happening in our skies, what El Nino and La Nina mean and whether
we are in for another wet summer, or if this Christmas we’ll be enduring long sweltering days. Turn the page for that. Given our prime minister recently announced a desire to see more public servants working from home, we thought it timely to take a look at the home office, how to set one up at your place and what to look out for if you are a teleworker who is house hunting at the moment. That story is on page 38 in My Property Preview. In agenda on page 20 we give you the lowdown on how council planning is progressing for our region’s exciting new CBD in Maroochydore. We have some great looks for summer in My Style (on page 26), a few events to pop in the diary in My Weekend (that’s on page 31) and more happenings in the health hub on page 22.

RAIN, HAIL OR SHINE? PREVIEW Events like Hurricane Sandy have left many of us feeling nervous about the planet’s changing weather patterns. We look at the weather systems that will affect Queensland this summer, and what you can do to stay safe. WORDS Jemma Pearson
Being prepared for storms While the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) sees no strong sign of widespread flooding or rainfall ahead, it is still advising Queenslanders to prepare for storm season, reporting that on average 11 tropical cyclones occur in the country during storm seasons. A weak El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is causing below-average surface temperature in the ocean off the east coast, and generally when the ENSO is in that state, there are fewer cyclones. But Jonty Hall, a senior forecaster with the BOM advises, “In Queensland, you can get bad flooding during an El Nino – it doesn’t rule it out completely.” Cyclone season runs from November 1 until the end of April. The devastation of last month’s Hurricane Sandy reminds us all that weather like that can happen in Australia too. Most of the damage caused by the hurricane that lashed the east coast of America was the result of a storm surge. The executive director-general of Emergency Management Queensland (EMQ), Bruce Grady, says as Queensland’s storm and cyclone season is now here, it’s
W
hen you’re stuck for small talk, no topic of conversation beats a chat about the weather. The weather affects our moods and movements. It can make whingers out of us all – if it’s raining we cross our fingers for sunshine and when it’s dry we pray for rain. It can ruin our weekends and in extreme cases, destroy homes, businesses and lives. A few years ago we hadn’t even heard the terms El Nino and La Nina, and no one apart from weather forecasters and meteorologists knew what the Southern Oscillation was. But the recent climatic extremes have changed all that. In a nutshell, the Southern Oscillation is a huge atmospheric pendulum that is driven by currents in the Pacific Ocean. The Southern Oscillation determines whether air mostly rises or sinks over Australia. El Nino and La Nina are the two extremes of the oscillating atmosphere. As a rule rising air (La Nina) creates more rain, while sinking air leads to an El Nino situation (which results in more drought). The tropical Pacific Ocean swings between warm, cool and neutral phases, says our Bureau of Meteorology. El Nino or La Nina events usually show signs of developing in autumn and then strengthen over winter and into spring. In general, El Nino events last for just one cycle (so from autumn to autumn), while it’s not uncommon for La Nina events to last for multiple years.

The a timely reminder of our own vulnerabilities to the weather. “It is usual for the Queensland coast to face tropical cyclones each year and while we are familiar with the damage from strong winds and rain, it is the storm surge that can have deadly consequences.” He adds, “The surge caused by Tropical Cyclone Yasi, which crossed the coast in February 2011, reached a similar height to that of Hurricane Sandy, but unlike Sandy, it crossed on a low tide.” The lesson from Yasi and Sandy, says Grady, is to prepare for a potential natural disaster early. “Our advice to people is crystal clear. Check with your local council to see if you live in a storm surge area; in the event of a cyclone listen carefully to warnings from local authorities, and be ready to evacuate immediately,” he says. “Everyone should also take the time now to check the condition of their home and surrounds, prepare an emergency kit, and know what to do in a storm surge event.”

75%of the Earth’s water is frozen in the ice caps at the North and South poles. Australia is the driest populated country in the world, and the second driest on earth. The only continent with less rainfall is the Antarctic. The lowest recorded temperature in Australian is minus 23° recorded at Charlotte Pass in NSW on June 29, 1994. The highest temperature recorded in Australian is 53.1°, which the residents of Cloncurry in Queensland endured on January 16, 1889. On average, the wettest town in Australia is Tully in Queensland with a yearly average rainfall of more than 4200 millimetres. It’s believed

IT IS TIME TO GET WATERWISE Water restrictions are set and monitored by the Queensland Water Commission, and it might surprise many Sunshine Coast residents and business owners to know that the commission has set some permanent water conservation measures. So even if it’s teeming outside, it’s up to all of us to save this precious resource.
If you are on town water anywhere on the Sunshine Coast, in fact anywhere in South-East Queensland, take note: • You can water gardens and lawns using a hose with a twist or trigger nozzle or water-eff cient irrigation systems before 10am and after 4pm on any day except Monday. • Cleaning outdoors, including vehicles, and water for construction activities can occur at any time using water-eff cient cleaning devices. • Unless there is signif cant soiling or it poses a safety or health risk, you can’t clean your paved areas or driveway using water. • Residential pools and spas can be topped up with town water but you will have to follow water-eff ciency measures. Head to qwc.qld.gov.au for more.
Tips for saving water at home Buy whitegoods, such as washing machines, with high watereff ciency ratings. Install water-eff cient showerheads and restrict members of the family to four-minute showers each. Install a dual-f ush toilet and use the big button only when you need to. Fix leaking taps, or better yet, replace with low-f ow aerating taps. Turn off the taps when not needed, such as when brushing your teeth, cleaning the sink or shaving. Get the plumber in to f x leaking pipes. Replace the old dishwasher with a water-eff cient model and use only when you have a full load. Water the garden only when it needs it and plant robust varieties that can handle dry weather. Mulch and use compost and this improves water penetration and soil quality. Cover your pool to avoid evaporation.
CRICOS Provider Number: 01595D
It has been close to three years since Queensland experienced drought conditions, and with the pummelling of rain we received over the past two summers, it’s easy to forget what it’s like living on tough water restrictions. But with the wet weather easing, it’s a timely reminder to take a look at our water consumption.

SAVVY PLAN PAYS OFF
L
ocal business broker Savvy Business Sales was inducted into the Hall of Fame at the 2012 Sunshine Coast Excellence in Business Awards recently. Principal Rod Russell says Savvy continues to grow and enjoy success. “Business sales Australia-wide are down, with many formerly profitable businesses becoming unsaleable. In contrast, we’re going from strengthto-strength,” he says. “In fact, we are currently on track to record our best three months ever and are expanding our team to cater for the growth we’re experiencing.” Russell praises the contribution of his team and says his “winning formula” is maintaining a positive attitude to bolster clients. “Many of our clients have bought or sold businesses through Savvy previously, and return to us because we get the job done and don’t offer false hopes. Most also appreciate our innovative marketing and the systems we’ve developed specifically
to support their sale,” Russell says. “The outlook for businesses on the Sunshine Coast is really looking up, and accordingly Savvy has set an ambitious target for attracting new clients in 2013,” he says. “Hall of Fame awards of this calibre don’t come along often, so we are delighted to be acknowledged at this level. Prior to this year, there have only ever been 19 recipients. Last year Savvy won the Sunshine Coast Small Business of the Year award,” Russell adds.
Calling all young turtle lovers Mooloolaba’s UnderWater World is on the lookout for the Coast’s biggest turtle lover aged between seven and 14. UnderWater World’s animal health manager, Emily Thomas, says the ‘Young Turtle Crusader’ competition hopes to inspire a future generation of turtle experts to protect and conserve the sea creatures. “With the recent $4 million investment into UnderWater World, including the new Turtle Temple zone, the attraction is able to keep inspiring and educating kids about turtle conservation programs and the
importance of protecting our sea turtles,” Thomas says. Entrants must submit 60 to 100 words on why they want to help turtles and UnderWater World’s turtle experts will choose the winner. Thomas says there will be three finalists and the winner will have the opportunity to shadow a turtle expert at UnderWater World for two half days during the school holidays and participate in a number of activities with the turtles. Entries close December 9. Visit underwaterworld.com.au to find out more.

Aussie World riding high with accolades When the managers of Aussie World accepted an award at the recent Sunshine Coast Excellence in Business Awards it was further proof of the success the Sunshine Coast attraction is enjoying. With an injection of investment over recent years, Aussie World is drawing in more visitors and making more money than ever before, and the plan is to keep expanding. David Thompson has just celebrated 12 years as the general manager of Aussie World. And in that time, he says, visitor numbers have increased threefold and continue to grow. Importantly, so has turnover, which has also increased threefold since Thompson started as GM. “Business is great, the pub is good and the function business is huge for us with end-of-year Christmas parties,” Thompson tells MWP. So what’s the secret to Thompson’s success? “We offer a very good value package – letting parents walk away with change in their pocket at the end of the day.” Thompson says the affordable entry price and the fact that food at Aussie World is not overpriced are the real hits with visitors, apart from the rides, of course. He adds that he consistently gets correspondence from visitors saying how the food prices are such good value. Plus, “they can come in and have a ride and don’t line up for it”. The healthy visitor numbers came after the company spent up big. Thompson says in the past few years, “$2.5 million has been invested in new attractions and there is another new attraction coming – a wet play area”. He adds that there is plenty of
David Thompson room to keep growing. “We are zoned a tourism park and we only use a third of the property.” Watch this space for further rides in the future. But despite all this growth, Thompson is committed to retaining the sort of park that has visitors flocking to it in the first place. “Our numbers will grow but we will remain a family theme park.” He adds that while the dollars being invested might sound high, the new rides have already paid for themselves. Effective marketing helps with business but Thompson adds, “We employ great people and we search high and wide to get the best people. We have gone from 45 [employees] 12 years ago to employing 142 people.” And it’s Sunshine Coasters that make up the vast majority of visitors – 72 per cent are locals, year on year, Thompson says, adding that many are repeat visitors, keen to see what new rides have been added since their last visit. As the Coast grows, the iconic attraction will grow with it, proving that business can thrive in our vibrant region.

ONLINE SHOPPERS BEWARE
O
nline shoppers are being urged to play it safe on the web as they stock up on goodies for Christmas. NSW Fair Trading Minister Anthony Roberts says retailers were preparing to offer major online discounts and consumers needed to follow a few important safety tips. “Retailers and online shopping websites such as Click Frenzy are promoting special offers and discounts, but you should always follow some important safety steps for every online purchase,” he said in a statement on Tuesday. Roberts says Fair Trading received
more than 7000 complaints about online shopping in the last financial year. Overall, Australians spend more than $11 billion shopping online each year, he says. “When purchasing online from an overseas website, protection provided under the Australian Consumer Law may not apply and getting a refund or replacement if the goods are faulty or not what you paid for can be very difficult,” he says. “If you buy from an Australian website you have the same consumer rights and protections as if you had walked into a store.” A recent survey of Australian small and medium businesses found more than 40 per cent failed to publish terms and conditions on their website and almost half didn’t publish a returns policy. “Most concerning was the fact 48 per cent of the businesses surveyed were not using a secure webpage for payments or collecting personal details,” Roberts said. AAP
NSW: 30 years of RBTs save thousands of lives Thirty years ago random breath tests (RBTs) were touted as an attack on the working class and anyone who enjoyed a beer at the local pub. Today they are credited with saving thousands of lives and reducing the road toll across the nation. This year marks 30 years of RBTs in NSW, an anniversary that former highway patrol officer and NSW Police Minister Michael Gallacher believes is an important milestone for road safety. “I worked on the very first shift when random breath testing was introduced in this state,” said Gallacher on Tuesday. “I remember the furore, particularly in the Hunter Valley. It was seen as an attack on workingclass men.” He says since its introduction in 1982, RBTs have contributed to the decline in alcohol-related deaths on the state’s roads. “There can be no doubt that RBTs have saved lives.” When the father of random breath
testing, Liverpool Labor MP George Paciullo, championed its introduction in 1982, the road toll stood at 1253 deaths. Last year the toll was 364 despite an extra two million motorists across the state, says Roads Minister Duncan Gay. Gay admitted he was against police being given the powers to randomly stop motorists and force them to give a breath sample three decades ago. “In 1982 I didn’t think much of George Paciullo,” he says. “There was a feeling in the community that if you had a couple of drinks, you could actually drive better. We were absolutely stupid. “If it wasn’t for the work of George Paciullo, a lot of my friends, perhaps even myself, wouldn’t be here today.” AAP

SPIELBERG’S BIG SPEECH
TRADE
F
MUST END THIS WEEKEND
describing Lincoln’s three-minute speech as “his best and truest voice” and the single “most perfect prose poem ever penned by an American”. Spielberg spoke of the interplay between history and memory, and between memory and justice. “It’s the hunger we feel for coherence, it’s the hunger we feel for progress for a better world,” he said. “I think justice and memory are inseparable.” The crowd, estimated at 9000, gave him a standing ovation. The 150th year since the battle will be marked in 2013. Lincoln, which stars Daniel Day-Lewis in the title role, concentrates on the period leading up to the president’s assassination in 1865. AP

ilm director Steven Spielberg expressed a sense of humility as he delivered the keynote address during ceremonies to mark the 149th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. “I’ve never stood any place on earth where it’s easier to be humbled than here,” said Spielberg, whose biopic about the 16th president is currently in theatres. His remarks were made at the annual event at the Soldier’s National Cemetery in Gettysburg, near the site where Lincoln gave the famous oration amid the American Civil War in 1863. After spending seven years working on his new movie, Lincoln, Spielberg said the president came to feel like one of his oldest and dearest friends, and he sensed he was living in the presence of what he called Lincoln’s “eloquent ghost”. “Lincoln wanted us to understand that equality was a small ‘d’ democratic essential,” Spielberg said,

CULTURAL CRAVINGS PREVIEW How long will the Coast have to wait to get a world-class arts, exhibition and entertainment centre? Jemma Pearson finds out.
I
t’s an old chestnut – the Sunshine Coast lacks an arts, entertainment and convention precinct that would put us on the nation’s cultural map, a precinct that would attract world-class entertainment, music, events and shows, and important dollars to the region. Sunshine Coast councils – current and past – have been criticised for dragging their feet on the issue, but is the criticism fair? My Weekly Preview sat down for a chat with representatives from the council to get the latest on plans for an entertainment precinct. In January this year, the council received a report from Ranbury Management Group that looked at the viability of building an entertainment, convention and exhibition centre in the heart of Maroochydore. Part of the planned CBD, Ranbury wanted to find out if such as centre was viable, what form it would take, and if it would attract investment in the region. Funded by a $1 million Federal Government grant, Ranbury brought together a group of consultants including architects, quantity surveyors and arts organisations. The results of the study? That a multipurpose facility (and not
necessarily an arts-specific facility) would be the most viable for the region, but that any centre should be part of a civic and cultural precinct. It would not work, said Ranbury, by simply being built, without any supporting infrastructure, into the current environment. It also said any plans needed to be open to community debate. Noting but not endorsing the Ranbury Council has study, the council has purchased the land, been busy at work on commissioned the the masterplan for the CBD, and some sort of reports, will make arts, entertainment and the decisions and convention centre is, source the funding mayor Mark Jamieson tells MWP, definitely part of that. “The Maroochydore City Centre is an obvious place for it, but roads and infrastructure need to be in place first,” the mayor says. What happens with the Sunshine Coast’s airport and other developments – such as tourist accommodation, residential development and businesses investment, such as an international-class hotel
– will also impact how the city centre takes shape. One of the biggest hurdles – taking ownership of the land from Horton Park – has now been leapt, says the mayor, but the tricky work of drafting a masterplan, what is included in it and who is going to pay for it, now begins. “The planning is moving along well; the masterplan will try to promote flexibility to attract development. The challenge is funding and looking at the development options,” Jamieson. Whether the arts and convention centre is funded through the local, state or federal government or a Mark Jamieson private public partnership, or indeed by another source, is just one of the many questions still to be answered. “It is a process, and these things are all being worked out,” says the mayor. Jamieson says the draft masterplan should be ready for councillors and community to take a look at in 2013. The master-planners are considering not just the potential arts,

entertainment and convention precinct, but also public space, and infrastructure such as roads and sewerage and water mitigation. While there has been criticism levelled at the council for not acting quickly enough to secure funding and expedite the process of building the centre, Jamieson says it’s important to get the right centre, in the right place at the right time. “To that end, the Sunshine Coast Council and local member Fiona Simpson have formed a strategic partnership to advance the major place-making projects in Maroochydore,” he says. “We need to work together to make these projects happen – they will make a major difference to our economy but they come with a major price tag. “And the reality is that fiscal constraints on all levels of government are such that we can no longer realistically expect that each of these projects will be delivered entirely by the public sector. “I welcome the public support of a group like ACE [a lobby group that has been actively

petitioning for an arts centre to be built in Maroochydore], but at the end of the day it’s council’s project, and council will deliver it. Council has purchased the land, commissioned the reports, will make the decisions and source the funding.” He adds, “The community and business will become important partners on this journey, but first we need to make sure we’re headed in the right direction. At the moment it’s crucial for the region to have one voice on this issue.” It’s too early, says the mayor, to discuss what the centre will be until the draft masterplan is finalised and the critical funding strategy has been developed. “You don’t choose the car speakers before you have built the car,” says Jamieson. “It is a council project and council will not cede responsibility of that land and that project to a third party at this point.” To find out more about the Ranbury report and the options for a cultural centre for the Sunshine Coast, head to sunshinecoast.qld.gov. au/sitePage.cfm?code=sc-exhibition-centre.
ACE pushes for an arts venue The Sunshine Coast Arts, Convention and Entertainment Association (ACE) was formed to lobby for an arts, entertainment and exhibition centre in the region, and it believes that the Regional Development Australia Fund (RDAF) – which provides grants of up to $15 million for strategic infrastructure projects in regional Australia – is where the funding should come from. ACE chairperson Alison Barry-Jones says, “We are perfectly placed on the Coast to capitalise on the funding mix they [RDAF] are offering. Their stated priority is to fund cultural rejuvenation projects and capital initiatives. If we get together and quickly submit something that’s meaningful, if we’re not successful this round, it places us well for the next round of funding.” Barry-Jones has criticised the Ranbury report, saying its plan contributed “nothing on the cultural side”. She is concerned the “Ranbury Group report outlines a stadium where you can have festivals and open exhibitions, but lacks the ambience you require for an arts and cultural centre”. “Without an arts and culture centre our community will remain impoverished and our economy will remain stagnant. We do not have a vibrant city heart that is conducive for investors to want to live, work and play here.” It’s exactly a vibrant city heart that the council planners are hoping to deliver with the Maroochydore masterplan. To f nd out more about what the masterplan will entail, watch this space in the coming months.

A HEALTH CARE REVOLUTION
U
rban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) Sunshine Coast branch president Carl Nancarrow says he was pleased to see construction of the $1.8 billion Sunshine Coast University Hospital commence earlier this month paving the way for a revolution in the way public health care is delivered throughout the region. “The significance of this project in terms of improving public health care and the creation of jobs cannot be underestimated,” Nancarrow says. “Construction of the hospital will generate over 11,000 construction jobs over five years – that is something our industry members have been wanting for a long time and it’s now within our reach. “Our UDIA branch has previously identified the commencement of the SCU Hospital as a major economic driver for our region and the timing could not be better. When you see just what is happening at Birtinya, with the 200-bed Ramsay Hospital more than halfway through its construction, you get a real sense of the magnitude of this project. It’s a tangible reminder of what is being created here on the Coast. “Not only will the project create massive employment opportunities, but it will also have a huge ripple effect on the Sunshine Coast
Carl Nancarrow economy because once the hospital is operational, it will permanently employ 3500 local people and will be the Sunshine Coast’s single largest employer,” he adds. Nancarrow says the demand for housing to accommodate construction workers and hospital staff will bring the single most significant housing stimulus the Sunshine Coast has ever seen. “The construction of more housing is a great example of the ripple effect this project can create. For example, in the Kawana area we are looking at 2200 new dwellings and over 170,000 square metres of mixed-use facilities for 5300 new residents. The infl ux of people into the area will bring a significant boost to our economy and will secure the Sunshine Coast’s future,” Nancarrow says.
New USC course will combine nursing and midwifery The University of the Sunshine Coast will offer a combined degree in nursing science and midwifery from Semester 1, 2013. USC’s head of School of Nursing and Midwifery, associate professor Margaret Barnes, says the four-year degree had been introduced in response to strong demand for health professionals with dual qualifications in nursing and midwifery. “This new combined program will prepare students to work in a range of health-care settings and to contribute to improving health outcomes through nursing and midwifery practice,” she says. Barnes says a key feature of the Bachelor of Nursing Science/ Bachelor of Midwifery will be the provision of professional placements and extended internships in both disciplines. She adds that graduates will be eligible to apply for registration as both nurses and midwives with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. “This dual registration is valued by industry and provides graduates with a wide range of employment opportunities.” The new degree will add to the university’s suite of nursing and midwifery programs. This currently includes the Bachelor of Nursing Science, Bachelor of Nursing Science (Graduate Entry), Graduate
A key feature will be the provision of professional placements and extended internships Certificate in Nursing (General Practice), Graduate Certificate in Nursing (Advanced Practice), Master of Advanced Nursing Practice, Master of Advanced Nursing Practice (Emergency Care), Master of Mental Health Nursing, and Master of Midwifery.

ut simply, the looming fiscal cliff in the US refers to a combination of expiring tax cuts and across-the-board government spending cuts scheduled to become effective December 31, 2012. These events have negative implications for US gross domestic product (GDP) and are giving the politicians a lot to discuss. To offer some perspective, if taxes were to increase and spending cuts were introduced, the estimated result would be a decrease in GDP (growth) of 3.5 per cent and an increase in the unemployment rate to 9.1 per cent. This would drive the US economy into recession. Of the two components, the more publicised is the tax increases. The proposed outcome results in an increase in the individual tax rate brackets, and the return of the tax rate on long-term capital gains and dividends. Spending cuts, the least talked about of the two events, hails back to the 2011 negotiation in relation to the raising of the debt ceiling. This matter related to the increase in the line of credit for the US. In agreeing to increase the borrowing limit, a bi-partisan committee was tasked with finding a way of implementing $1.5 trillion of savings off the national deficit over the next decade. If the committee failed to reach an agreement by November 2011, which it did, then the required spending cuts would be implemented from January 1, 2013. So, what are the likely outcomes? It is very hard to predict, but we have already seen Barack Obama look to maintain the tax cuts for those earning less than $US250,000 (about $240,000) per annum, and to increase the tax rate on those above that threshold. A patchwork of outcomes is likely in relation to the tax increases and the spending cuts. From an economic perspective, the US will at some point need to increase taxes
and reduce its spending. It is fortunate that investors globally are still comfortable buying US Government bonds (in other words, lending the US money). Interestingly, papers have been written which show that by driving over the cliff, the US fiscal position (the budget deficit) will improve by $500 billion in 2013 and unemployment should fall to 5.5 per cent by 2018. But is any politician willing to take on a recession to see that fiscal improvement? Maybe some tough decisions may not be a bad thing after all.

MORE THAN $135,000 RAISED FOR CHARITY “Each year the teams at BOQ Mooloolaba & Chancellor Park and My Weekly Preview host the Exclusive ‘300 Club’ Melbourne Cup Charity Luncheon, and each year we are blown away by how much they raise for Wishlist and local health services. With the support of their sponsors, generous customers and guests, over the past four years they have raised more than $135,000. The 2012 event was no different, with $35,000 raised in just a few hours of fundraising – an incredible achievement. These funds will be directed by Wishlist to provide two patient transport vehicles, which will free up ambulances and reduce the need for expensive taxi rides to and from hospital for cash-strapped patients. For the hours of hard work spent making the 2012 event such a sensation, we just wanted to say – for lack of two more expressive words – thank you!” Lisa Rowe, Wishlist CEO

THE SKINNY ON ASPARAGUS • The asparagus tips cook faster than the stalks. Cook stalks standing up in water with the tips slightly above the water. If cooking in a microwave, use a circular dish with the tips facing the centre of the dish. • Do not let asparagus sit in water for too long – they’ll become soggy. Instead, remove from the heat when they’re tender but slightly crisp. • Try grilling or roasting for a sweet and nutty flavour.
I
t’s officially asparagus season, so grab yourself a bunch or two of this low-fat, high-fibre vegetable and start cooking.
COOKING IDEAS • Snap off the woody ends, brush spears with olive oil, sprinkle with salt flakes and pepper and cook on a hot barbecue until just tender – one to two minutes each side. • Wrap tender crisp barbecued spears with prosciutto and serve as a starter while waiting for the meat to cook. • Use tender crisp asparagus spears as dippers with aioli, warm garlic butter or pesto-flavoured mayonnaise. For something a little retro, serve lightly cooked and chilled spears with cooked prawns, lengths of Lebanese cucumber, baby cos lettuce leaves, a dollop of mayonnaise, a sprinkling of paprika and black pepper and a wedge of lemon for squeezing over. AAP
NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION: Half a cup of boiled or steamed asparagus has 20 calories and two grams each of protein and fibre. It’s an excellent source of vitamin K and folic acid, B-vitamins and potassium. Asparagus is high in the flavonoid rutin, which may help reduce inflammation and strengthen blood vessels. It has a good amount of glutathione, which is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage. Asparagus also contains a plant chemical shown to reduce bone loss, improve sex drive and help fight certain types of cancer. USE THESE TIPS TO COOK PERFECT ASPARAGUS: • Large spears of asparagus can have tough skins. Use a vegie peeler to remove them.

The high dollar continues to challenge Australian winemakers, so it doesn’t hurt to win an international award. Hunter Valley-based McGuigan Wines has been named International Winemaker of the Year at an awards ceremony in London. It’s the third time in four years it has taken the crown, having previously won the gong in 2009 and 2011. A panel of critics awarded 39 medals – nine gold, 22 silver and eight bronze – to the Australian stable for its entries in the 2012 International Wine and Spirits Competition. Company founder and director Brian McGuigan says about twothirds of the company’s wine is sold overseas. “We need to keep on ringing the chimes of buyers in the northern hemisphere,” McGuigan told AAP. “Aussie wine has had a tough time of it of late and we must continue to be seen to be giving great value. “We’re very proud of each award and to knock off the rest of the world reinforces that we can compete on quality and price.” The backbone of the company’s success at the
awards was the McGuigan Bin 9000 Semillon, with the 2004 vintage (grown in the Hunter Valley) taking home the title of International Semillon Trophy. The 2009 vintage of McGuigan Farms Shiraz from SA’s Barossa Valley also won Gold Best in Class. “To have won International Winemaker of the Year for the third time in four years is an outstanding result for Australia and the McGuigan brand,” says chief winemaker Neil McGuigan, who attended the award presentation. “We can now proudly say that we are one of the most awarded wineries in the world.” The winemaker reported a 17 per cent increase in global volume sales in the 2011/12 financial year. Winemakers from more than 80 countries entered the 2012 competition. AAP

Famous for his hits You Make Me Feel Like Dancing and When I Need You, the English-born singersongwriter has performed in Central Park, New York, Royal Albert Hall and Wembley Arena. Sayer is now a naturalised Australian and headlined the 2010 Australia Day celebrations at Sydney’s Darling Harbour. He will perform locally after an extensive UK tour and will be supported by Glenn Shorrock, former Little River Band frontman and two-time ARIA Hall of Fame inductee. Palmer Coolum Resort general manager, Bill Schoch, says securing the concert is a coup for the region. “We’re absolutely thrilled to have these two musical legends on the

MAKE/MODEL JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND DETAILS Five-door, five-seat full-sized SUV with choice of 3.6-litre V6, 5.7-litre V8 or 3-litre V6 turbo-diesel engines; five-speed automatic transmission.
JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE: AN AMERICAN BEAUTY WORDS Peter Atkinson, AAP
H
IMAGES AAP
ere’s an interesting stat. Of more than 50 cars I’ve driven so far this year, just four of them have had a V8 engine. And two of those were out-and-out performance cars – a C63 AMG Mercedes and Jaguar XKR-S – both racetrack-ready machines. So it was something of a pleasant surprise to find myself behind the wheel of Jeep’s Grand Cherokee Overland recently, complete with its big, comforting 5.7-litre Hemi V8. It won’t surprise you to know that an American brand, of all things, still uses a big, thirsty but gloriously powerful V8 at the heart of its flagship models. It seems the world has become so fuelconscious these days, and the onceloved V8 has all but gone the way of the dinosaurs. Pity, really, because the range-topping version of Jeep’s muchimproved, highly impressive big 4WD wagon certainly benefits from the virtues of the big bent-eight beneath the bonnet. Oodles of power, delivered smoothly, quietly and at the slightest
prod of the accelerator, is still a nice thing to have. Funnily enough, even Jeep – one of the most iconic brands to come out of the V8-loving US – has started to look beyond the big engines these days. The Grand Cherokee, as well as its big-selling turbo-diesel version, has just also released a variant powered by the so-called Pentastar V6 – giving fuelconscious buyers another option to the big Hemi. The fact is, if like me you’re still Neanderthal enough to want to avail yourself of a V8 Grand Cherokee, you’ll be able to do so only in the mid-range Limited (where the V8 is an extra-cost option)
or the flagship Overland to get it. You’ll pay $69,500 for the Overland – or $65,000 for the V6 model – which by the standards of modern SUVs these days represents pretty good buying. Like the mid-range versions we’ve tested here previously, the most powerful member of the Cherokee tribe has advanced this breed several rungs. The current Grand Cherokee launched a year or so ago offers more equipment, more refinement and better driving dynamics than the fairly
TECH STUFF 5.7-litre Hemi V8 with variable valve timing produces 259kW@5200rpm; 520Nm@4200rpm; fivespeed automatic with Quadra-Trac full-time all-wheel drive, two-speed low-range and electronic slip differential. FEATURES Dual front and side and head airbags, ABS with Brake Assist, dynamic stability control with traction control and hill descent control; heated electric leather seats; automatic wipers and headlights; front and rear parking sensors with reversing camera; adaptive cruise control with collision avoidance alarm; lanedeparture and blind-spot warnings; adjustable air suspension system; electronic terrain control system. THIRST 10.2L/100KM (official combined figure). VERDICT Big, powerful, refined, thirsty.

successful model it replaced. Interestingly, the previous Grand Cherokee was designed during Chrysler-Jeepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alliance with German giant Daimler-Benz. Now, in the days post GFC, the grand American brand lives under the banner of Italian giant Fiat. Happily, though, the change of national allegiances hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affected the Grand Cherokee. The Overland model impressed not only with its substantial V8 urge, but also the high level of equipment Jeep has managed to pack into its sub-$70,000 price tag. While even the base model gets seven airbags, reversing camera, heated and electric seats, and a multi-media sound system with hard drive and Bluetooth connectivity, step up to the Limited and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get leather trim, electric cargo hatch, powered steering column and parking sensors all round. Why would you want the Overland, then? Well, how about a Quadra-lift adjustable air suspension system, forward collision warning, blind spot monitors and adaptive radar-guided cruise control? If that sounds like a good menu for a car at this price, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right. OK, so hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the downside. During the first part of our test, the Cherokee rarely made it beyond the city confines and as a result, the trip computer spent most of that time displaying an average consumption of about 17 litres per 100 kilometres. Thirsty stuff, by any measure. In fact its official thirst for the urban cycle is 20 litres per 100 kilometres. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a litre (give or take) from here to the shops and back. The thirst abated a bit when we got the big off-roader onto the freeway for the weekend. Our 250-kilometre round trip produced an average consumption of about
11 litres per 100 kilometres. While not exactly frugal, it is reasonable for such a big, powerful vehicle. And in that situation, the big V8 is very much seen to advantage, loping along at the speed limit while the engine barely ticks over, yet with masses of overtaking power on demand. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a chance to test the Jeep in its true natural environment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sand, mud and slush. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame, because I would have loved to have tested the Grand Cherokeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Selec-Terrain system, which allows you to dial up your off-road settings according to the terrain, and the internal computer then applies the appropriate setup for you. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one setting on the dial for driving over rock, another for mud and sand, as well as an auto setting that adjusts on the fly. Clever stuff. But even with its off-road pedigree, the high-end Overland package brings plenty of city-style luxuries. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the electrically opening rear hatch, for instance. And practical gadgets like the lanedeparture warning and blind-spot warnings in the wing mirrors. And the clever reversing camera, with a little grid overlay to indicate whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on track to get into that tight parking space or not. Handy for a big machine thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to spend a fair amount of time in city traffic. Our test finished with an average fuel consumption figure beyond 15 litres per 100 kilometres, despite that lengthy weekend road trip which helped trim the number down a bit. We managed the better part of 500 kilometres, half of it around town, with still quite a bit left in the 93-litre tank, which happily, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to refill before we handed the big Jeep back. With some regret, too, I might say. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to drive many V8s these days. M Y W EEK LY PREVIEW.C OM .A U

Buyers want to pay less for electric cars
The latest news from MWP’s man on the ground.
Subaru BRZ allocation increased in Australia
Subaru Australia has announced 140 more Subaru BRZ sports coupes are on the way to local shores. It was reported that the initial allocation of 201 sold out in just three hours in July this year. The Subaru BRZ is a co-development vehicle with Toyota’s 86. The cars are almost identical with the same 147-kilowatt, naturally aspirated 2.0-litre boxer engine.
It’s good to share Go Auto reports Mazda will share its next Mazda2 with Toyota from 2015 under yet another automotive alliance aimed at improving efficiencies and profit. It is unclear where this new model will be situated in the Toyota line-up, given the current Yaris has been on the market for only a year. Production will commence at a Mexican plant in March 2014.

Market on track for record result October results have confirmed Australians will buy more new cars this year than any other since records began. Experts are tipping an all-time record of 1.1 million. Year-to-date sales keep Toyota at the top followed by Holden and a close battle between Ford and Mazda.
The latest Electric Vehicle Ownership Experience Study conducted by JD Power & Associates reports that consumers want the electric models to be cheaper. First-generation buyers were people who wanted to achieve one outcome – reduce pollution. Buyers in 2012 however, are more interested in cars that cut their fuel bill rather than save the planet. The problem is that electric cars take an average of 6.5 years to recoup the additional outlay. Consumers are asking car manufacturers to do whatever they can to make their electric cars more cost effective.

CREATING THE PERFECT
HOME OFFICE

PREVIEW One of the biggest changes to the traditional house plan is the addition of a home office, and with more and more workers setting up at home, the trend will continue to grow.

ith increasingly more people telecommuting or working part-time from home, the home office has now become a sought-after feature of new home purchases, and a popular trend among today’s home renovators. Correct planning and design is essential to creating a productive and pleasant home office, according to Archicentre, the Australian Institute of Architects’ advisory service. Ian Agnew, Archicentre’s Queensland general manager, says many of the design concepts drawn up by his organisation for renovations and new homes incorporate a home office or study area. Agnew says, “This trend reflects the number of people starting a new career from home, people wanting to supplement their income by working from home and companies wanting more
people to telework from home to cut costs.” The Prime Minster, Julia Gillard, recently committed to having 12 per cent of Australian public servants regularly working from home by 2020, in a bid to increase productivity and reduce costs. The rollout of the NBN throughout Australia is being touted as a huge opportunity to boost productivity and will no doubt help with a movement towards teleworking. Research by consulting firm Deloitte, suggests an increase in workforce participation with telework could add an extra $3.2 billion in gross domestic product and an equivalent 25,000 full-time jobs by 2010-2021. The idea of teleworking was introduced with the advent of computers, but rapid growth of the internet, and especially the uptake of smartphones, tablets and broadband, is fuelling the increase in home offices. There were more than 12 million internet subscribers (excluding mobile handset subscribers) as at June 30, 2012, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. This is an increase of 440,000 (or four per cent) in six months, and more than 10 per cent annual growth. Agnew says many people are choosing to work in a home office, as it removes many of the overhead costs of starting a new business, but he adds a warning, “Anyone purchasing a property for a home office should have a clear understanding of their requirements and whether the property can be used for the type of business they are intending to conduct.” Even small additions or alterations to the property can cost thousands, he says, which home buyers should factor into their decision. Agnew adds that a vital aspect of purchasing a home with the intention of setting up a home-based business is to check with the council about planning requirements before the contract of sale is signed. Still, buyers should walk into homes with an open mind. “Many older, larger houses are suitable for renovation in relation to home offices with roof spaces available for conversion,” Agnew says. “In smaller homes and townhouses, the mezzanine floor is a solution to create extra space.” M Y W EEK LY PREVIEW.C OM .A U

Anyone purchasing a property for a home off ce should have a clear understanding of their requirements Ian Agnew, Archicentre
Questions to ask yourself before you set up a home off ce According to Archicentre’s Ian Agnew, people buying a home with the intention of setting up an office need to consider a number of factors which could affect the operation of the office, such as: • Have you checked with the council regarding planning laws in relation to your future business activities? • Do you have appropriate insurance to cover people visiting your home and any business equipment in the new home off ce? • Can there be a separate entry to the off ce area to which clients come? This is really important if you and your family value your privacy. • Is visibility from the street important for your business? • Does the space have provision for sophisticated communications including NBN, broadband cable facilities for internet access or wireless access?
• Is the chosen area of adequate size for the type of work you will carry out? Home off ce areas in an L or U-shape tend to be the most productive. • Is there adequate storage space, and room for you and your equipment, and any support staff you might need now or in the future? • Is there adequate light and ventilation? • Have you chosen the quietest area to work? If you are someone who needs silence, a room closest to the busy road or the children’s playroom is not the best spot. • Do you have adequate parking for the people who may visit your home off ce? Will your business activity disturb neighbours?

He says Pathways allows owners to build their dream home on a large site in a bushland setting, while still being close to amenities. “We have many people looking forward to moving into their homes, and none more so than Reannah Wells and Lester Henningsen and their two children Jakob (two years) and Jarrah (eight weeks) who will be enjoying the

beautiful surrounds of Pathways in time for Christmas,” Skerlak says. The family had chosen the name Jarrah for their baby before coming across their home site located on Jarrah Way. “We had chosen the name before we bought the block, so when we found the block we knew it was fate,” Wells says. “We love the area because it has a bushy feel and is quiet and peaceful, but it is still close to the shops.” She adds, “We sold our house in Caboolture as we wanted to be closer to the Sunshine Coast. We currently live in Beerwah and looked around for the best location to build. We chose Pathways
Reannah Wells and her children Jakob & Jarrah because of its convenience, but also because it still feels like you are in the bush and away from the hustle and bustle.” Skerlak says a number of lots are still available for sale with 700 square metre sites starting at $188,500.

ARIES Mar 21-Apr 20 With the moon in Aquarius and Uranus in Aries you’re feeling restless and are in the mood for adventure. Don’t limit your peer group – socialise with others who are on your wavelength.
TAURUS Apr 21-May 21 You’ll make professional progress if you show compassion towards a colleague who’s going through a tough time. If you’re not sure, follow your instincts.
GEMINI May 22-Jun 21 The sun and retro Mercury emphasise the importance of communicating clearly in your daily life. The more you share your aspirations with loved ones, the more connected you’ll feel.
CANCER Jun 22-Jul 23 A relationship with a child, teenager or friend will be somewhat stressful today. Keep your cool, crabs, and don’t let them press your emotional buttons.
LEO Jul 24-Aug 23 You’re keen to clear the air with loved ones and get something off your chest. Some will appreciate your honesty – while others may become irritated. Take it all in your stride.
VIRGO Aug 24-Sep 23 Your ruling planet Mercury is still in retrograde mode – until November 27. So be extra careful how you communicate, especially with noisy neighbours and fractious family members.
LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23 Don’t let others discourage you from following your dreams. Jupiter encourages you to think big and act spontaneously. Friends and finances are a messy mix so keep the two separate.
SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov 22 Scorpios can be stubborn and unforgiving. Are you hanging onto a grudge about a family member? It’s time to question outmoded beliefs, and break free from the past.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21 Spontaneous Sagittarius, you’re in the mood to speak your mind but others may misinterpret what you say. The more tactful you are with loved ones, the better the day will be.
CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20 Work diligently towards goals that will be fulfilled in the future. Just because the results are modest now doesn’t mean they won’t be great further down the track. Persistence is the key.
AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19 With Saturn and retrograde Mercury moving through your career zone, try to be more organised at work. You’re in a hurry but, when it comes to paperwork, avoid taking shortcuts.
PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20 If you can get the balance right between assisting others and helping yourself, then you’ll have a positive and productive day. Pay attention to the symbolism in your dreams.

SURF REPORT
with Steve Harris from Suburban Surf
Well surfers, it looks like once again this weekend the swell will be small with the better waves having been through the week. On Thursday there will be an E/SE swell up to two foot on the open beaches, with winds light westerly tending N/NE through the day. Friday will have around two foot of swell early on the open beaches on a decreasing E/SE swell. Swell size will decrease through the day with light SW winds early turning S/SE later. Friday and Saturday are looking pretty ordinary with waves around the one- to two-foot mark, with light to moderate E/SE winds making for messy onshore conditions. With high tides around sunrise and lows late morning, try to f nd a bank on the open beaches out of the wind, and make the most of a small swell and the onshore conditions. Good surf ng.
