y partner’s sister is a keen runner – it’s nothing for her to knock over 20ks before brekkie – and last week she was kind enough to take me with her for part of a course that had us jogging along the oceanside paths of Shelly and Kings beaches. I managed to knock over almost six kilometres, and I was pretty pleased with myself, but I’ve never been a runner, and despite her encouraging words I’m not sure I will ever enjoy pounding the pavement.

I have always been a walker but lately I’ve been wondering, do I need to put in a bit more effort? After reading Leigh Robshaw’s cover story this week (on page 8), it seems as a region, we probably all should be doing more. Leigh has discovered that us Sunshine Coasters aren’t as f t and healthy as we could be, or should be, which rings some very noisy

alarm bells for us all. However, the good news is that Leigh has some advice from the experts on what we should be doing. I didn’t make any resolutions this year, but if I did, f tness would be up there. If you’re keen to get healthier this year, turn over and read on.

Also of concern this week is the disparity between the pay packets of the average male and female Australian worker. This country’s women enjoy freedoms that many women and girls in other parts of the world can only dream of, but alarmingly, as I discovered when looking into this week’s agenda item (on page 24) a yearly salary that’s equal to the blokes’ isn’t one of them.

Finally, if you are new to the region or here on holiday and would like to put down some roots, get the lowdown on the Sunshine Coast in My Property Preview’s cover story, on page 46.

SLIM FOR

LIFE

PREVIEW Losing weight and getting fit are top of mind for many of us at this time of year.

There’s a lot of conflicting advice on how best to do it, so what really works?

WORDS Leigh Robshaw

O

n any given day, you’ll see a multitude of slim Sunshine Coasters out walking, jogging and cycling along our glistening coastline. We’re a fit and healthy bunch compared with the rest of Australia, right?

Wrong. Our obesity levels are actually in line with the rest of Australia, and more than half of us are sedentary, according to Professor John Lowe, head of Sports and Health Sciences at the University of the Sunshine Coast.

“We’ve got two groups on the Coast: those you see out and they’re very visible and active and it’s fantastic, but we’ve also got a large percentage of our population that’s quite sedentary,” says Lowe. “The latest f gures show up to 60 per cent.

“I’m one of the ones who likes to be out there on the esplanade – that’s why we live on the Coast. But overall, if we take the whole coastal region, just take a look at the malls, and look at the percentage of overweight and obese people that are walking around.

“We should be, to be honest with you, the model of health and f tness in Australia. We’ve got running areas, we’ve got physical activity areas, we’ve got the good weather, we have the ocean – that’s on the physical activity side of things.

“On the nutrition side, we have some of the best foods that are available to us year round. We’ve got cafes and eating establishments where you can get good healthy foods. All the components are here.”

All the external elements may be in place for us to become the model of health and f tness in Australia, but the statistics show we have a way to go.

In 2009, Queensland Health surveyed the Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay regions to determine the selfreported prevalence of health risks, and found that the region’s health resembled that of the rest of Queensland.

In fact, our obesity and inactivity levels were slightly higher than the rest of the state.

Compared with the rest of Australia, our obesity levels

[ 8 ] MY W EEKLY P RE VIE W \ J AN UARY 11, 201 3

were lower, but still worrying. In the 2009 Queensland Health survey, 55.3 per cent of Sunshine Coasters surveyed were overweight or obese (compared with 63.4 per cent across Australia, ABS 2011-12). Only 56.5 per cent said they undertook suff cient activity to achieve health benef ts.

So why, when we have everything we need on the

Coast at our disposal to be slim, f t and healthy, are we not leading the way for the rest of the country? Most of us make at least some effort to eat well and exercise, so why isn’t it paying off?

Lowe has been conducting obesity, physical activity and chronic disease research for 30 years and says what we’re seeing is an increase in awareness and knowledge of health and f tness issues, but the diff culty is in changing behaviour.

“It’s not easy — we tend to look for a quick f x and that’s what the problem is,” says Lowe. If you watch television you get sold a quick f x — the before and after photos are fantastic. Unfortunately, only a minute proportion of the population can do that. For the rest of us, we need to make a diff cult but important change in our lifestyle. The key is to start small and persist.”

New Year’s resolution revised

Don’t lose weight – gain fitness

If you made a New Year’s resolution to get f t and lose weight, you’re in good company. It’s usually the number one priority on people’s New Year’s resolution lists. But don’t beat yourself up if you’ve already broken your resolutions before January is over.

“New Year’s resolutions never work,” says Lowe. “By February most people have broken [them]. Instead of New Year’s resolutions, just make a small lifestyle change this year. It can be as little as reducing your portion sizes.

Portion sizes are becoming more and more a problem as the inf uence of America continues.

Years ago our entree sizes were our mains.

“One of the simplest things you can do is put away your big plates. Serve your meals on a small plate and eat that plate only. You don’t need to change anything else. Don’t go back for seconds, don’t wolf it down.

“Have a nice meal, talk, taste the food, enjoy it. So many times we don’t taste the food we’re eating, we’re so busy trying to get things done while we’re eating we don’t actually taste it and it’s just calories in.”

Lowe says the carb-free, sugar-free, raw food diets out there can drive people crazy, and that the simple answer to long-term slimming is eating in moderation.

He even says it’s OK to eat chips occasionally, as long as it’s a small plate and no more than once a fortnight.

“Dieting is wrong, to be blunt,” he says.

“I don’t propose dieting to anyone; you’re taking something away from yourself that you like. The idea is to eat in moderation.

“For me, the bottom line is we eat to live, not live to eat. If you actually spent the time cooking every night and then sat down and had a meal with your family, ate slowly and talked during the meal, that’s the best prescription for a healthy lifestyle.”

Lowe says we shouldn’t set out to lose weight, but to gain f tness, and that “if you set out to lose weight, you generally f nd it”. It’s a sentiment echoed by Annie Hewitt, a personal trainer, former Ms World and three times world bodysculpting champion based at Hunchy.

“I don’t do weight loss,” says Hewitt. “We need to push movement more. I’m sick of all these diets. I get people moving and they make better choices after that. When people start moving and feeling better, they start making better choices for themselves.”

Hewitt believes many of us don’t exercise correctly, saying there’s too much emphasis on cardio and not enough on resistance training.

“You can do cardio till the cows come home, but it will never change your body shape. Doing countless hours of cardio will make you retain fat. When you do long, boring cardio, you’re basically burning away your muscle. With resistance training and weights, you become a fat-burning engine.

At this time of year, many people sign up to boot camps in an effort to shed unwanted Christmas kilos, but Hewitt says she’s not a fan.

“Boot camps aren’t quality; they just go through the motions. At boot camp there’s very little form. Anyone over the age of 35 would be mad to be taking on boot camp. You need to be focused on training smarter, not harder, on perfecting the movement.”

Both Lowe and Hewitt say incorporating exercise into our daily lives and making it fun is the key to long-term and sustainable f tness.

Hewitt has created a new concept in exercise called Timber Gym, an outdoor play centre for adults that allows them to have fun while they get f t. “We’ve forgotten how to play,” she says.

“When we were kids we played on monkey bars, we moved around a lot and our parents said, ‘I continued over >

One of the most popular diets today is the hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) diet, f rst proposed by British endocrinologist Albert TW Simeons in his 1971 book Pounds and Inches – A New Approach to Obesity.

HCG is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy, and when administered via injections or homeopathic formulas, is said to reprogram the hypothalamus to burn fat more eff ciently, and suppress appetite. The hCG formula is used in conjunction with a restrictive 500-calorie per day diet for three weeks, along with an ensuing maintenance program, and has enabled many people to shed vast amounts of the fat that’s typically hard to budge – around the tummy, hips, thighs and buttocks.

The diet has attracted criticism from doctors and health authorities (many hCG formulas on the market are classed as illegal by the Therapeutic Goods Association).

My Weekly Preview spoke to 12 people who had undertaken the program. All had lost weight – anywhere from six to 40 kilos – but many had regained the weight.

Maleny naturopath Shaun Watson, one of the f rst practitioners to bring the program to Australia, says where people go wrong with the hCG diet is failing to follow the maintenance program. Yes, the program can help you lose weight and reset your metabolism, but it’s not a magic potion that allows you to pig out and stay skinny. Like any weight management program, it’s about changing your lifestyle long term.

“The maintenance is the key,” says Watson.

“People can do the hCG diet, but they must do the maintenance program and then step into a lifetime of strategies. You still have to exercise; our ancestors walked 30,000 steps a day. It’s about becoming self-informed and self-aware – it’s a life-changing process.”

Watson says his clients have experienced great success with the program, with one woman losing 60 kilos. He has also observed many women who have been experiencing fertility problems, and having no success with IVF, fall pregnant on the program.

“We don’t have scientif c validation for that,” says Watson. “But we have observed many pregnancies being facilitated by the utilisation of the program. We tend to do it as a detox, to get the system back into alignment.

What this program does is it gives a viable pathway to start to understand Hippocrates’ key message: let medicine by thy food, and food be thy medicine.”

FAST FACTS

<from previous page don’t want to see you till sunset’.

I’m going back to basics. Timber Gym is about hanging out, playing, getting strong and f t.

“I honestly try to make it such fun, so it’s not a chore. I work on recorrecting muscle imbalances, helping people feel better about the way they move.

“It’s also about making exercise part of your everyday life; squatting to pick up the kids, making everyday life full of more functional movement. Then you have to take less time out for exercise.”

Lowe is a big proponent of physically active group work, whether it be Lazy Runners or boot camps. He says some people thrive on the military-style motivation provided by boot camps, and that any form of group exercise that gives them the push they need is a good thing.

“One of the things that I got a lot of ribbing from is the

The participation rate for sport and physical recreation was highest in the Australian

promotion of sexercise,” says Lowe.

“There’s data to show that sex three times a week over the course of a year is equivalent to running three marathons.”

Lowe says it’s not necessary to hit the gym f ve times a week or throw yourself into punishing exercise regimes in order to be f t and healthy.

Just regular walking and moderate resistance training is enough to benef t your cardiovascular system, and to relieve tension and reduce stress.

“I don’t like the word exercise – it conjures up pain and misery,” he says. “Walking at a brisk pace with a friend and talking is physical activity and that’s what we’re really on about.

“You don’t actually have to do gym work. Just use your muscles, use your body weight. If you walk to the park, do some push-ups and chin-ups and then continue your walk – you’re f ne health wise.”

WHO Slow Food Noosa WHAT Terra Madre (Mother Earth) Day and the Year of the Farmer WHERE Susan Rodger’s Onyx Park Slow Food Noosa added local f avour to the internationally celebrated Terra Madre (Mother Earth) Day and the Year of the Farmer with a three-course lunch at Onyx Park, which uses biodynamic and biological principles to farm purebred Ausline Angus and Murray Grey cows.

More than 40 ‘slow foodies’ enjoyed fresh country air and feasted on a range of local produce, including Onyx Park spit-roasted beef and locally grown Noosa red tomatoes. Noosa chef Jamie Milverton manned the barbecue and other local growers were on hand to discuss their contributions to sustainable farming and offer tastings of their wares.

USC WINS $30M GRANT

A

$37.2 million engineering learning hub to be built at the University of the Sunshine Coast is expected to help fill the engineering skills shortage across Australia.

The new 6500-square metre, four-storey facility will have the latest teaching technology and is expected to encourage more students to study engineering. The new learning hub will be built with a $30 million Commonwealth Government grant and a $7.2 million contribution from the university.

Deputy prime minister and treasurer Wayne Swan visited the university last week and announced the USC Engineering Futures Project had been successful in winning a grant in the Education Investment Fund Regional Priorities Round.

USC vicechancellor Wayne Swan professor Greg

Hill says there are signif cant engineering shortages across Australia.

“These are likely to be exacerbated as more engineers are drawn into the mining sector and as a large number of existing engineers retire,” Hill says. “Our Engineering Futures Project involves enhanced collaboration with USQ in expanding provision of engineering education to produce more graduates to meet regional engineering skills shortages in regional Queensland,” Hill says.

Swan says education investment is important to ensure Australia thrives in the Asian century. “By delivering f rst-class education facilities we will help generate jobs and future prosperity for the Sunshine Coast region and the country,” he says.

The new facility will be linked to the University of Southern Queensland, with visualisation theatres built at both universities to enable collaboration in producing 3D scenarios in civil and mechanical engineering.

Ginger Festival gears up Food and gardening celebrities will join local experts to showcase all things ginger at the annual Ginger Flower and Food Festival next weekend.

A range of ornamental gingers and heliconias will be on display while local gardening identities share their top gardening tips and conduct daily garden walks.

Expect your tastebuds to get a workout with a number of celebrity and popular local chefs talking

about everything from organic eating and healthy smoothies to Japanese cuisine.

Artists and entertainers will add to the colour and celebration of the three-day event.

The festival, at Yandina’s Ginger Factory, is free and will run from Friday January 18 to Sunday January 20.

Elderly most at risk of heat stress Queensland’s hot summer temperatures have sparked a reminder for elderly residents to keep cool and stay hydrated.

Queensland chief health off cer Jeannette Young says the elderly are more prone to heat-related illness as they have diff culty adjusting to sudden temperature changes.

It is advised to check on elderly people regularly to ensure they don’t have signs of heat stress, and

neighbours can play a part in helping out if they know an elderly resident doesn’t have family nearby.

Symptoms of heat stress include headaches, dizziness, nausea and loss of co-ordination.

Treat heat stress by laying the person in a cool place and applying cool, wet cloths to their wrists and giving small sips of water. Call 000 if they do not recover quickly.

MULLER PARK MAKEOVER with extensive revegetation to enhance the diversity and ecological value of the area.

The new amenities block has also been transformed while maintaining most of the original structure.

“The new layout ref ects modern design concepts, which improve public safety, convenience and sustainability,” Robinson says.

Modern water-eff cient f xtures and a rainwater harvesting system are other sustainability features.

As a last component of the stage two works, improvements to the post and rail barrier towards David Low Way are scheduled uled for this month.

All works were undertaken in accordance with the Muller Park Cultural Heritage Management Stephen Robinson Plan.

Man’s best friend is getting into some unfriendly situations of late, and the Sunshine Coast Council is urging dog owners to keep their pets under control to avoid possible attacks.

In the month from December 1, 32 dog attacks were reported to the council and eight people suffered dog bite injuries resulting in medical treatment, with three of those admitted to hospital overnight.

Acting mayor Chris Thompson is calling on the community to take an active role in keeping our beaches, parks and foreshores safer for everyone.

“Unfortunately there has already been an increase in dog attacks reported to the council this summer – 32 incidents in the past month – which we are investigating as a matter of urgency,” he says.

The council has increased patrols throughout the region in an attempt to reduce the incidents of dog attacks, and more than 90 f nes have been issued to dog owners for having

a dog off leash in an on-leash area or prohibited area since December 1.

However, Thompson says council off cers can’t be everywhere.

“It is time for all residents to work together as a united community by practicing or encouraging responsible dog ownership and help to keep our local neighbourhoods and public spaces safe,” he says.

“Most attacks occur due to a lack of vigilance from the owner or the dog has escaped from an unfenced or poorly maintained yard,” he says.

Owners of dogs who are found guilty of attacking a person face a maximum f ne of 300 penalty units or $30,000.

ARTY FUN FOR WHOLE FAMILY Get your creative juices f owing at the Noosa Regional Gallery’s Family Fun Day on Sunday January 13. A range of free activities will be on offer between 11am and 2pm and visitors can take a look at the current exhibition.

The free event includes a sausage sizzle from noon. The Noosa Regional Gallery Family Fun Day is held every second Sunday of the month.

Bookings are not required. For more information call 5449 5340.

NOW THAT’S HEAVY METAL If you want to hear some huge engines roar, check out Queensland Air Museum’s Aero Engine Run Day from 10am to 4pm on Saturday January 12.

Hear the engines from aircraft dating back to the 1930s and explore more than 50 historic exhibits.

Entry is $30 for a family, $13 for an adult, $8 for a child and $10 concession.

The Queensland Air Museum is at the Caloundra Aerodrome on Caloundra Road.

SUNSHINE COAST ART PRIZE Entry to the Sunshine Coast Art Prize, one of Australia’s most signif cant regional art prizes, opens this month. Now in its eighth year, the competition has expanded to include 2D and 3D categories, with the winners of each receiving $15,000 plus a $5000 artist residency on the Sunshine Coast. The competition is open to any Australian citizen working in Australia. Entries close on March 28, 2013. To apply online, or for more information, visit scap.org.au.

A spruce-up for this Bli Bli park has been well received.

A

popular riverfront park has received a major facelift in time for residents and visitors to enjoy over the summer holidays.

Councillor Stephen Robinson says the upgrade to Muller Park at Bli Bli includes the refurbishment and modernisation of the public amenities and stage two of the revised Muller Park masterplan.

“Muller Park is a well-loved local f shing and picnicking spot, nestled on the banks of the beautiful Maroochy River and enjoys a rich natural and cultural heritage,” Robinson says.

“The parkland, however, suffered from ageing facilities, unrestricted vehicular access and lengthy periods of poor drainage and bogginess after f ooding.”

The recently completed works include construction of pathways to improve the park’s usability along

ABBOTT PLEDGES $1 BILLION

pposition Leader Tony Abbott has pledged $1 billion towards an upgrade on Queensland’s Gateway Motorway to avoid any more tolls on the major route.

commitment with acting premier Jeff Seeney in Brisbane on Tuesday, promising to have the upgrade completed within 12 months of taking off ce.

“If we have cranes over our cities and bulldozers going on the ground, people will know that our country is going ahead and that’s what I want,” Abbott said.

Seeney said the state couldn’t afford the $1.3 billion upgrade on its own.

Just last week, it warned that if the Federal Government didn’t stump up cash for the upgrade, the work might have to be delayed for several years, or tolls increased to fund it.

On Tuesday, Abbott said the 80 per cent funding pledge from the opposition, if elected, would ensure the upgrade went ahead without additional tolls.

“The coalition is going to do that,” he said. “The incumbent government in Canberra has made no such commitment.”

No Senate bid for Bob Katter Bob Katter has quashed speculation he will run for the Senate, saying he’ll recontest his lower house seat of Kennedy at the next federal election.

“I’ll be running as the candidate for Kennedy in the forthcoming elections,” the Katter’s Australian Party federal leader told reporters in Brisbane on Tuesday.

He admitted he spoke to his leadership team about the

Heat wave set to continue, bureau warns A record-breaking heatwave across most of central and southern Australia looks set to continue.

Maximum temperatures across the continent in the last four months of 2012 were 1.6 degrees above average, breaking all previous records, the Bureau of Meteorology said on Tuesday.

"What makes this event quite

exceptional is how widespread and intense it's been,” says Aaron Coutts-Smith, the bureau’s NSW manager for climate services. "We have been breaking records across all states and territories in Australia over the course of the event so far.

“For most regions we found that extremely high temperatures have become more frequent and more intense.”

BABY ASTHMA FINDINGS

SUPER DEALS!

BLINDS SHUTTERS AWNINGS

H

igh pollen exposure in the last three months of pregnancy significantly increases a baby’s risk of serious asthma attacks, research has shown.

A Swedish study of more than 110,000 pregnancies found that high pollen count was associated with a 35 per cent increased risk of infants being taken to hospital because of asthma.

Exposure to high pollen levels during the f rst three months of life appeared to reduce the risk, but only among children of heavy smoking mothers.

Scientists checked pollen levels in central Stockholm and matched the results with medical records.

For each child, pollen count was assessed during the f rst and last 12 weeks of pregnancy, as well as the f rst 12 weeks of life.

The f ndings were reported in the journal, Allergy, Asthma and Clinical Immunology.

A number of possible reasons for the association are given.

Women with allergies may have reactions to pollen that affect the unborn baby’s environment and affect immune system development, say the researchers.

It is also possible that pregnant women with severe reactions to pollen suffer complications that affect the child, it is claimed.

The scientists, led by Adrian Lowe, from the University of Umea, wrote, “It is likely that pollen-sensitised mothers exposed to high levels of pollen during pregnancy are at increased risk of symptoms and asthma exacerbations. This may in turn change the intrauterine environment.

This artist rendering by Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics shows the different types of planets in our Milky Way galaxy detected by NASA’s Kepler spacecraft.

EARTH-SIZE PLANETS FOUND

T

he Milky Way is home to at least 17 billion planets that are similar in size to Earth, a new estimate suggests.

That’s more than two Earth-size planets for every person on the globe.

It is, however, “simply too early” to say how many are in the sweet spot where water could exist, says Francois Fressin of the HarvardSmithsonian Centre for Astrophysics.

It’s the f rst reliable tally of the number of worlds outside the solar system that are the size of Earth, but the hunt for a twin is far from over.

Despite the explosion of exoplanet discoveries recently, one f nd remains elusive: a planet that’s not only the right size but also in the so-called Goldilocks zone where it’s not too hot or too cold for water to be in liquid form on the surface.

The sheer number of Earth-size planets gives astronomers a starting

point to narrow down which ones are in the habitable zone.

Fressin and his team came up with their f gure by conducting a fresh analysis of data collected by NASA’s Kepler spacecraft, which was launched in 2009 to track down other earths. They estimated at least one in six stars in the galaxy hosts a planet the size of ours, translating to at least 17 billion Earth-size worlds.

Meanwhile, the Kepler spacecraft continues to spot planets as they pass between Earth and the star they orbit. It found 461 new candidate planets, bringing the total to 2740 potential planets, said mission scientist Christopher Burke at the SETI Institute. Most of the new Kepler f nds were driven by discoveries of Earth-size planets and super-Earths. Four of those are thought to reside in the Goldilocks zone.

Bosnian sisters re-unite after 72 years Two Bosnian sisters who lost track of each other almost 72 years ago met for the first time with the help of Facebook, although they lived only 200 kilometres apart, local media reported.

Tanija Delic, 88, and Hedija Talic, 82, had not seen each other since 1941.

Talic, aged 11 at the time, got separated from her family while they were f eeing their village in Bosnia at the start of World War II. She ended up in an orphanage, while the parents were killed during the war. They eventually met again after Talic’s son contacted his aunt’s daughter through Facebook.

THE WIDENING GAP PREVIEW Entrenched prejudice against women in the workplace needs to be addressed if pay rates are to be equalised.

N

ew figures show the gender pay gap between female and male university graduates more than doubled last year, increasing from $2000 to $5000 per year.

The 2012 GradStats report by Graduate Careers Australia shows median full-time employment annual starting salaries for male graduates are $55,000 (up from $52,000 in 2011), compared with $50,000 for women (no change from 2011). The current graduate gender pay gap across all occupations is 9.1 per cent.

The f gures will shock many recent school leavers as they contemplate their futures while awaiting university offers in coming weeks.

Dr Carla Harris is the research executive manager at the Workplace Gender Equality Agency. She says, “It is very disturbing that men’s starting salaries have increased over the past year but those of women have not, especially given that women make up the majority of university graduates.

“The lesson here is that the gender pay gap continues to have

a very real impact on the bank balance of young women starting their careers.”

That pay gap for graduates was most pronounced in the areas of architecture and building (17.3 per cent, or a $9000 difference), dentistry (15.7 per cent, or $14,400 difference), optometry (8.5 per cent, or a $7000 difference) and law (7.8 per cent, which equates to a $4300 difference).

“I’m certain that any female school leaver contemplating a career in dentistry would be outraged

knowing she can expect to earn more than $14,000 less than a man in her f rst year on the job,” Harris says.

However, out of 23 occupations, there are seven where female graduates earn slightly more than men. Female computer scientists, earth scientists, pharmacists and engineers are amongst those who earn a little more than their male counterparts. Only three occupational categories had no gender pay gap in starting salaries.

They were education, humanities and medicine.

Australia has lowest quota of female execs Governor-General Quentin Bryce late last year launched the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency’s (EOWA) 2012 Australian Census of Women in Leadership.

At the launch Bryce said the census is of enormous signif cance, as it details what progress is being made in the advancement and leadership of women in corporate life. “Why does the new generation of 20 to 30s working women, while better educated than their male colleagues, continue to earn less, labour in lower-status positions, and struggle to juggle the demands of child care and work?” she asked.

“Why do so many senior executive teams remain completely female-free zones?

“Why do we have a declining rate of women’s workforce participation? Fifty-nine per cent of women in Australia compared with 72 per cent in New Zealand and 69 per cent in the United Kingdom. The business case for gender equality has been made clear, abundantly and often.”

EOWA’s director Helen Conway says the census shows there has been little increase in the number of female executives over the past decade. Almost two thirds of ASX 500 companies have no female executives, and only 12 have a female CEO. Disappointingly, Australia has the lowest percentage of female executives compared to similar countries.

“We’ve been conducting the census for 10 years and, frankly, you’d expect to see more progress,” Conway says.

I’m certain that any female school leaver contemplating a career in dentistry would be outraged knowing she can expect to earn mor e than $14,000 less than a man in her f rst year on the job

AMERICA’S FISCAL CLIFF IS JUST THE BEGINNING

Darryl Watt is from Ord Minnett in Buderim

T

he fiscal cliff was a combination of expiring tax cuts and a reduction in government spending that was set to take place on January 1, 2013. If not averted, this would have sent the US economy into recession. Given that the US is the world’s largest economy, this would have considerable flow-on effects to the rest of the world.

In an eleventh-hour deal, the US government passed a bill to prevent large tax hikes and delay spending cuts. This legislation raises more than $US600 billion in new taxes from the highest US income earners (those earning over $US400,000 per annum) and extends a range of current spending programs, including unemployment benef ts.

However, the spending cuts to the big ticket items of health and defence have been deferred for only two months. This has averted the US economy from being sent into recession and led to a rally on both

K A W A N A H E A LT H P R E C I N C T ]

KAWANA RENO

Wall Street and the Australian markets.

The US has reached its statutory debt limit of $US16.4 trillion and although it can still meet its f nancial obligations for a few months, this debt ceiling will need to be raised around the same time as the cuts to health and defence spending must be addressed. Since 1960, the debt ceiling has been raised over 70 times.

These two major issues will once again set up another tense round of negotiations between the Democrats and Republicans, requiring a great deal of leadership and compromise to f nd a longer term solution. These negotiations will be vitally important for all investors and look set to be even more demanding than those surrounding the f scal cliff.

While the focus will be f rmly on the US, elections are also expected to be held in Italy early this year, adding to the level of uncertainty surrounding world economic markets.

This will require investors to be on their toes and keeping a close watch on their portfolios, particularly during the f rst half of this year.

While the health hub continues to grow, a Kawana icon is also about to get a facelift – a $73 million redevelopment of Kawana Shoppingworld is scheduled to commence shortly.

This major redevelopment of the busy centre is expected to take around 24 months to complete, but the centre’s owner, Mirvac, has conf rmed it is business as usual throughout the building program.

The redevelopment includes an 8900-square metre expansion to house around 70 new retailers and an additional 200 car parks. The redevelopment is also expected to generate about 573 retail and construction jobs.

Mirvac general manager retail, Susan MacDonald, says, “This multimillion-dollar investment will improve the shopping experience and

Could your Hormones be making you CRAZY? Beat Anger, Irritability, Anxiety and Depression Forever!

Mood swings so strong, you just want to scream, or crawl into bed and sleep till it’s over.

Anxiety over nothing, irritable over everything, crying at the drop of a hat, and sadness to boot!

Now, I’m not just talking about menopause and PMS; to all of you men, MANopause can and will happen, so listen up! Are you irritable, nervous, depressed, low libido, foggy thinking, can’t sleep, or gaining weight? Is anything sounding familiar?

HOW SAFE IS YOUR SELF-TANNER?

W

e love a tan on the Sunny Coast, don’t we?

Many of us ignore skin cancer warnings from health authorities and bake ourselves for hours on the beach, while others opt for fake tans – the ‘safe’ way to tan.

But just how safe are fake tanning products?

According to the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep Cosmetics Database (ewg.org/ skindeep), standard self-tanning products range from a ‘low hazard’ to a ‘moderate hazard’, with the worst offenders containing chemicals that are known endocrine system disruptors, with the potential to cause organ system toxicity.

The chemical of most concern is DHA (dihydroxyacetone), the primary active ingredient in selftanning products. DHA causes a chemical reaction with amino acids in the surface cells of the skin, producing a darkening effect.

Many self-tanners have chemicals added that weaken the skin’s surface, resulting in the product being absorbed more deeply into the skin. It results in a

faster developing tan, but it’s easier for the nasty chemicals to enter the bloodstream.

The other concern with selftanners is that for 24 hours after it is applied, the skin is especially susceptible to free-radical damage from the sun (which causes premature aging). It’s advised to avoid excessive sun exposure for a day after applying self-tanner, just to be on the safe side.

If you love tanned skin in summer, but don’t want to risk sun damage or chemical toxicity, there are some great natural and organic self-tanners on the market that use a DHA derived from natural ingredients, like sugar beets.

Eco Tan is an Australian-made, certif ed organic self-tanner and a favourite of the health conscious.

Other good ones to try are Santorini Sunless Tanning Lotion, an organic and natural tanning product that will give you a golden glow without worrying about what’s in the bottle, and the Lavera range.

Of course, just because you’re brown, doesn’t mean your skin is protected, so you still need to wear your SPF15 sunscreen.

Naomi Watts has confessed fake tan doesn’t work for her.

The Australian actress explained she has diff culty achieving a smooth, bronzed look all over.

Known for her fair skin and blonde locks, the star often ends up with uneven colour because of her fear of sun damage.

HOSTING A HEAVENLY HIGH TEA

C

hristmas and New Year are over, but if you want another excuse to frock up, host a high tea. It’s a memorable way to celebrate a special event, and a stylish way to spend an afternoon with the ladies for no reason other than the pursuit of sheer indulgence.

Most of us think of high tea as a posh afternoon tea for royalty, complete with f ne china, delicate sandwiches, decadent cakes and of course, the all-important pot of tea.

But the high tea actually originated in England in the 1600s as an early dinner for the working classes, who would eat a meat-based meal with sandwiches and scones or cakes at around 4 or 5pm. It was like a cross between the sweet afternoon tea served in the ladies’ drawing rooms at 3pm, and the formal dinner served in middle and upper class homes at 7 or 8pm.

The term high tea is now used to denote an afternoon tea steeped in elegance and formality.

Tips for organising a high tea • Source some f ne china and high tea stands – raid your grandma’s stash or hit the op shops.

• Hand write invitations and mail them to your guests. Set a dress code: f oral or vintage dresses work well.

• Decorate your home with beautiful vases of f owers like tea roses, lilacs and orchids.

• Create a playlist with some soft jazz, instrumental or French classics.

• Pre-prepare your food the day before. Store sandwiches, cakes and scones in airtight containers so they are fresh on the day.

• When planning food, allow f ve to 10 f nger food pieces per guest.

• Buy sugar cubes and arrange them in a china bowl with silver tongs.

• Buy two different brands of loose leaf tea (try an English Breakfast and an Earl Grey) to make up in teapots. Also buy one or two different herbal teas in loose leaf, for the caffeine-free guests. No tea bags!

• A typical high tea has three courses: sandwiches, scones and cakes, which can be arranged on a tiered high tea stand.

How to brew a perfect pot of tea Always begin with fresh, f ltered water (not tap water as it contains chemicals that will affect the taste of your tea). Fill the pot with boiling water to heat it, and boil the jug again. Tip the f rst batch of water out, then add one teaspoon of tea leaves per cup to the pot. As soon as the water boils, pour it in and turn the teapot three times clockwise, then three times anti-clockwise. Allow it to brew for about three minutes before you serve.

Cream puffs (From CWA Cookery Book and Household Hints) 250 ml water 60 grams butter 125 grams plain f our 3 or 4 large eggs 250ml cream 1 tablespoon icing sugar ½ teaspoon vanilla

Put water and butter in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Add f our and beat until smooth over the heat until the mixture leaves the side of the plan. Beat eggs well, and when the mixture is cool, add them gradually. Mix well and put in small heaps on a greased tray. Bake in a moderate oven for half an hour. When cold, make an opening in the side and remove the centre. Whip cream and add sugar and vanilla to taste.

Fill puffs with cream and sprinkle with sugar. A little raspberry jam may be put in before the cream.

UNCORKED: TIPS AND TRICKS FOR DRINKING RESPONSIBLY With Australia Day and the inevitable summer get-togethers on the January agenda, keep these tips in mind while you share a few cold ones with your family and friends.

1

KEEP COUNT When you’re caught in the moment and catching up with friends, it’s easy to forget how many drinks you’ve had, particularly when your fellow partiers are shouting rounds for the group. Owner-manager of The Creek Tavern, Sam Tomich, says it is a good idea to keep track of how may drinks you’ve consumed so you can determine whether you are OK to drive home or need to arrange a lift.

“A useful trick is to save the straws from your cocktails or bottle caps from beers so you know how many drinks you’ve consumed,” Tomich says.

2

SELECT STILL OVER SPARKLING While a vodka, lemon, lime and bitters is a popular choice for many women, it sometimes pays to swap the bubbles for something with a little less snap, crackle and pop. Dr Emile Brits from Bundilla Clinic, Mooloolaba says carbonated beverages tend to get you intoxicated much more quickly than their still

counterparts. “Carbonation decreases the time it takes for alcohol to be absorbed into the bloodstream so you’ll start to feel the effects of the alcohol in a relatively short period of time,” Brits says.

3

EAT UP Eating before you drink presents a number of benef ts so it’s a good idea to chow down before you wind up. Brits says including carbohydrate-rich foods like bananas in your pre-drinking meal can be useful as they lessen the likelihood of developing low blood sugar levels while out on the town.

“However, don’t be fooled by the notion that eating before you drink will stop you becoming intoxicated – it won’t. It will simply slow down the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream,” Brits says.

“It’s also helpful to have a glass of water between drinks as alcohol dehydrates the body.”

4

FIND A ‘DESO DAVE’ For those of you without the token buddy called Dave, it

pays to f nd a friend who is happy to stay within the legal limit – or better yet, remain sober – and be your designated driver so you get home safely after a night out.

With alcohol and drug driving a factor in as many as 30 per cent of fatal crashes in Queensland, it is critical we make a concerted effort to f nd an alternative way home when planning to have a few drinks.

Tomich says catching a courtesy bus is another great way to enjoy a night out with friends while also saving a designated driver the trouble of making multiple drop-offs.

“It takes the stress out of the night and ensures everyone gets home safely,” he says.

5

KNOW HOW MUCH YOU’RE REALLY DRINKING While it’s easy to assume one glass contains one standard drink, this is not always the case.

A standard 100ml serve of 13 per cent alcohol volume red wine classif es as one standard drink; however, a cocktail in a similar size glass may contain signif cantly more alcohol.

Brits says people often think if they’ve had only two drinks they’re f ne to drive home.

“While you may not realise it, even a small amount of alcohol can affect your body. At a blood alcohol reading of just 0.02 (0.03 below the legal limit) you may experience slow reaction times,” says Brits.

GETTING A GRIP ON FUEL EFFICIENCY WORDS Peter Atkinson

T

he laws of physics being what they are, there are some inescapable constraints when it comes to designing a new car.

The f rst, of course, is that the heavier a car is, the more energy (fuel) it takes to move it forward.

The second dictates that, the more moving parts (and the more friction) you include, that problem is magnif ed.

So driving a car through all four wheels, instead of the conventional two, brings some advantages but

also its own set of problems.

The extra weight of additional driveshafts and axles, and the added burden of extra gears and differentials, inevitably means a drain on fuel eff ciency.

However, this is where the new Subaru Impreza seems to be thumbing its nose at Sir Isaac Newton and his Theory of Relativity.

We all know that Subaru has long been committed to all-wheel-drive for all of its passenger vehicles as well as

its range of off-roaders. This means they grip the road in all conditions and are renowned for their handling.

But while they’ve tended to be a bit thirstier than their rivals, the latest version of the Impreza has made massive gains in fuel eff ciency – using a staggering 22 per cent less fuel than the model it replaces – and at the same time producing 24 per cent less emissions.

A Daimler Brand

CVT (constantly variable) transmission and improvements to its legendary Boxer four-cylinder engine, the Impreza manages a 6.8 litres per 100 kilometres average fuel use, while still retaining the innate advantages of its all-wheel-drive setup.

Call it the best of both worlds. Of course, there usually has to be a catch.

In the case of the Impreza, the trade-off is in performance. With 110 kilowatts and a modest 196 Newton metres of torque, the entry-level Impreza we tested is no f recracker.

Subaru has a solution to that, of course, in the form of the turbocharged Impreza WRX – the model that has earned the car most of its extraordinary brand recognition over the years. But that version will cost you about $40 grand, while the entry-level 2.0i manual model we tested starts from $23,990.

The Impreza gets a stylish new look as part of this model update, which offers three trim levels and a choice of sedan or hatchback conf guration, with six-speed manual

or the ‘Lineartronic’ CVT auto.

One key to the Impreza’s fueleff ciency gains is the addition of a stop-start system. Like all such systems, it turns off the engine when you stop in traff c, put the car into neutral and release the clutch. It restarts as soon as you depress the clutch to resume driving. The system also features on the CVT (constantly variable) transmission we tested on the XV, and it works seamlessly.

Other advancements on the new Impreza include a 10-kilogram reduction in the car’s overall weight by use of lightweight metals; a handsome multi-function display screen in all models but the entrylevel 2.0i; seven airbags and standard reversing camera in up-spec models.

The basic model is comfortably if not luxuriously equipped. Cabin ambiance is a little bland, but the cloth-trimmed seats are both comfortable and easily adjustable, and there’s a reach and tilt adjustment on the steering column so a comfy driving position is easy to f nd.

out the extra cash for the turbocharged version.

The hatch offers cargo space of 340 litres while the sedan does even better with a vast 460 litres. Subaru claims either model can swallow three sets of golf clubs.

Modest performance aside, there are relatively few chips to knock off the Impreza. It’s a well-evolved car, as models tend to be when they’ve been steadily improving for as long as this one, with few areas of complaint.

And it’s nothing compared to the angst this car would have caused Sir Isaac Newton.

The luxury of choice.

As we’ve come to expect from Subaru, the Impreza enjoys excellent road manners – handling is f at and well balanced, there’s an abundance of grip thanks to the aforementioned symmetrical all-wheel-drive system, and it brakes assuredly.

The engine feels a bit puny at low revs and can be rather ponderous on take-off, but once it starts spinning into its sweet spot beyond 3000rpm it feels much more lively and starts to emit the familiar Boxer exhaust note.

Still, if you want performance of any note you’d be better off shelling

RECORD SALES

Audi to spend $16.5 billion on expansion

D

espite a sluggish year for many Australian retailers, 2012 finished on a high for a number of car manufacturers, with record annual sales achieved.

Fiat Chrysler Group, Renault, Mazda, Subaru, Nissan and Audi were among those that set sales records in Australia.

Perhaps the most outstanding result was the Fiat Chrysler Group, which announced its best sales year on record with growth up nearly 80 per cent on 2011.

The company nearly doubled the number of cars sold with more than 21,000 selling in 2012.

Fiat Chrysler Group managing director Clyde Campbell is thrilled with the sales results.

“We are the fastest growing car company in Australia and we certainly won’t be holding back in the year ahead,” Campbell says.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee was

M O T O R I N G

the group’s strongest performer, retailing 8373 units in 2012, a nearly 250 per cent increase over 2011.

Mazda achieved its best year on record, breaking the 100,000 sales barrier with a 17.6 per cent increase over 2011 and it was the third best-selling brand in 2012.

Subaru attributes its record sales to booming demand for its sports utility vehicle range.

The end of year high has poured conf dence into the industry, with many expecting to continue their strong growth and sales records into 2013.

Audi has announced a $16.5 billion capital expenditure program to take it through to 2016.

The investment is part of Audi’s growth strategy and will be used to expand the company’s portfolio with new products and technologies, as well as the construction of new plants.

Nearly $10 billion has been earmarked for two German sites in the next f ve years and the expansion of a site in Hungary, where it is building a body-manufacturing shop, a paint shop and a press shop, will be completed this year.

The group is also expanding capacity in China and developing a plant in Mexico.

Audi Centre Sunshine Coast dealer principal Scott Carse says the expansion will have a f ow-on effect in Australia, increasing the range and ultimately sales, and more importantly

increasing value for money.

“Essentially what it’s going to mean is improved productivity, greater value and ultimately more Audis on the road,” Carse says.

“It’s one of the fastest growing luxury brands in the world, def nitely in Australia with yearon-year growth, despite all the economic trends around the world since 2004.”

The luxury carmaker f nished 2012 with a full year sales result of 14,535 deliveries to customers, making it the eighth consecutive year of growth for the brand in Australia.

MY MOTORING INSIDER The latest news from MWP’s man on the ground.

Lexus rumoured to join V8 race

Ferrari looks set to become a direct importer into Australia V8 race

OPEL to cut production by over 10 per cent in 2013

CRAIG HILL/SHUTTERSTOCK.COM

Lexus has imported three V8powered touring cars that could be forerunners for a potential Lexus entry into V8 Supercars. The three IS-F models, built for the Italian-based Superstars International touring car series, have been imported by Lexus of Brisbane. They will be used for “customer experience days and promotional events” says dealer principal Andrew Scif eet.

Carmaker Opel, the European unit of General Motors , is planning to cut production by more than 10 per cent in 2013 in light of the weak European car market, a German magazine reports. Loss-making Opel is planning to produce just 845,000 cars in Europe in 2013. A spokesman for Opel declined to comment on production plans.

A recent article in Carsguide.com.au reports that friends and fans of Ferrari will soon have a direct line from Australia to the supercar maker’s headquarters in Italy. The expanding network of full Ferrari factory operations is expected to reach Australia in 2013, ending the traditional link through an independent importer. The move comes as Ferrari sales continue to boom in Australia and with the impending arrival of a new supercar f agship, codenamed F150 and the replacement for the Enzo road rocket. But the move will not affect Maserati, even though the two Italian brands are handled in Australia by

the same company, European Automotive Imports. Ferrari denies any plans for a distribution change despite a recent visit by the company’s Asia-Pacif c boss, Herbert Appleroth, while the head of EAI is predictably guarded. The Italian brand is powering through Asia, in contrast to the European car sales collapse this year. Japanese sales have jumped by 20 per cent and Chinese deliveries are up by seven per cent.

A HOME IN

THE SUN

PREVIEW If you’re currently holidaying on the Coast and feel like you never want to leave, we don’t blame you – the Coast is an unbeatable place to live. But which of the Coast’s many towns and villages would offer you the life you dream of?

WORDS Jarna Baudinette

46.indd 1

I

t’s January, so if you’re reading this chances are you’re a holiday-maker, enjoying some time on our beautiful Sunshine Coast before the work or school year officially begins.

More than three million people stopped by the Coast in 2011, including many regular visitors who have come to love the region over the years and dream of moving here one day.

So if you’re thinking of relocating to the Sunshine Coast, where should you be looking to put down roots? We’ve put together a list to help you narrow it down.

FAMILIES The Sunshine Coast is popular with families as the region boasts beautiful beaches, good schools and plenty of outdoor sports and activities.

Mountain Creek is particularly sought after because of its well-respected state primary and high schools, as well as its proximity to Matthew Flinders Anglican College, Siena Catholic College and the University of the Sunshine Coast (which has quickly established itself as a world-class educational facility). Nearby Sippy Downs also has easy access to these, as well as its own state schools, shopping and medical amenities and a housing estate designed for family living.

Further south are Little Mountain, Aroona and Meridan Plains, which offer affordable homes suitable for those with a growing brood. The f rst two are older suburbs with larger blocks and Meridan Plains is home to the new Kawana Forest estate, which incorporates plenty of more contemporary-style houses.

But if your kids are still quite young you can’t go past that old faithful, Caloundra – the scene

of idyllic family holidays in years gone by, the Coast’s southernmost suburb still boasts a slower pace and kid-friendly beaches that are perfect for a young family. Head to some open homes in Kings Beach, Moffat Beach, Dicky Beach and Currimundi.

YOUNG PEOPLE Many people relocate to the Coast in their late teens or early twenties, to study or establish a career while enjoying the beachside lifestyle.

If you’re a 20- or 30-something looking to purchase a home on the Coast, it’s likely you’ll want to live close to the beach, so keep an eye out for older-style units in Kings Beach, Wurtulla, Mooloolaba and Maroochydore (and don’t forget to look north of the river in Coolum Beach as well). Prices are still relatively affordable and while you may not be able to stretch to a penthouse, you can easily embrace the retro feel and add your own touches to an older one- or two-bedroom property.

If the beach isn’t your thing, focus your search on the Coast’s main affordability hot spot, Nambour. This suburb was once the commercial hub of the region and while you may sacrif ce proximity to the coastline, this location still has plenty of shops and services, as well as home prices that suit the f rst-time buyer.

RETIREES Last August, Buderim was realestate.com.au’s most searched-for suburb, ahead of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. While the leafy hilltop suburb features a diverse range of property types, it has long been popular with retirees who love

Last August, Buderim was realestate.com.au’s most searched-for suburb, ahead of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane

the quiet streets, village-style central shopping precinct and proximity to the local private hospital and medical facilities. Buderim also boasts a vibrant community life, with art and craft clubs, churches, sporting associations, a historical society and a popular garden festival.

Kawana Island is also dotted with a number of villa-style communities, many of which boast their own social and recreational facilities for over-50s who are looking to downsize to a hassle-free lifestyle. This newer suburb is centrally located on the Coast with easy access to transport, and also close to the coming Sunshine Coast University Hospital. And for those retirees who want to live close to the water, it’s hard to go past serene Golden Beach, on the banks of Pumicestone Passage in Caloundra.

surrounded by nature, focus your search on the Coast’s hinterland. Suburbs such as Glenview, Woombye and Palmwoods offer entry-level acreage only 10 or 15 minutes’ drive from the nearest beach or shopping centre. For something more secluded, families can explore the hidden township of Mooloolah, or inspect larger bluechip acreage properties in Tanawha, Diddillibah and Forest Glen.

And if you are really keen to leave city and suburban life behind, head up the Blackall Range to Maleny or Montville. These communities are renowned for being tight-knit and welcoming, with laidback lifestyles and a strong focus on sustainability and supporting local industry. New locals will also be able to enjoy thriving art and music communities.

TREE LOVERS If you are relocating from a city and want to live

INVESTORS Not ready to make the move just yet? Rather

than buying a home to live in, consider an investment property. The Sunshine Coast University Hospital and surrounding health precinct will bring economic and population growth to the Coast, so a newer unit on Kawana Island or a renovator in the surrounding beachside suburbs of Warana, Wurtulla or Bokarina are good places to start.

Nambour is again a popular investment location, and another surprise contender is the riverside suburb of Bli Bli. This area has long been known as a quiet, pleasant place to raise a family and boasts comfortable homes on large blocks, a good local school and a handful of shops.

However, there are a selection of major developments underway including a new shopping precinct, the Coast’s brand-new golf course and several family-friendly housing estates, which are making Bli Bli a suburb to watch over the coming years.

Try before you buy Before you purchase a home, it can be a good idea to get a feel for your new area by renting for a few months. Make an appointment with a local property manager or leasing officer to see what rental properties are on offer.

ext Property Group will kick off 2013 with an onsite auction event next weekend, taking 10 Sunshine Coast properties to auction in a two-day period.

Next founder Loren Wimhurst says the event will give potential buyers the opportunity to attend multiple auctions on January 19 and 20, with the benef t of additional traff c through open homes for the agency’s sellers.

“We feel conducting an auction on site really gives buyers the best sense of what the property has to offer and allows allow us to really sell the location, the features fea and the benef be ts of each home ho effectively,” Wimhurst W says, adding the Next team felt January was Loren Wimhurst the ideal time

to hold the event in order to start the new year with plenty of activity and to give local sellers the chance to showcase their properties with other impressive homes.

Agent Jason Burns also ended 2012 with an auction success, selling the home at 3 Felicia Court, Mountain Creek under the hammer three days before Christmas.

Burns says the vendors hoped to move into their new residence early in the new year and were rewarded with two registered bidders on auction day, as well as a festive group of 20 onlookers. Auctioneer Justin Voss told the crowd the event was Next Property Group’s f nal auction for 2012 before selling the property to a local investor for $412,500, feeling “like Santa Claus” in the process.

“A three-week campaign resulting in a sale under the hammer gave the owners a nice early Christmas present,” Burns says.

LEO Jul 24-Aug 23 Leos love to be the centre of attention. Today the focus shifts off you and onto the important people in your life. Thinking of others puts a spring in your step and a smile on your dial.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sep 23 With clear communication and a proactive approach, you’ll surprise yourself with your innovative problemsolving skills. Mars is moving through your health zone, so it’s time to get physical.

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23 Laidback Librans, it’s time to be proactive about your peer group. Up until February 2, mighty Mars encourages you to keep your real mates close – and give fairweather friends the flick.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov 22 Being stubborn will get you nowhere fast today, especially with family members.

Things are changing rapidly and you need to be passionately proactive or you’ll be left behind.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21 With the moon and Mars in your communication zone, you’re in the mood to chat. Avoid jumping to conclusions, especially about a neighbour or relative.

You don’t have all the facts.

Incite (5) Entice (4) Waver (6) Sane (8) Raining hard (7) Deliberately and without feeling (2,4,5) Miscellaneous items (4,3,4) Ropes etc. securing ship (8) Dismiss with disgrace (7) Illegal coercion (6) Outmoded (5) Ring of light over head (4)

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20 With the sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto visiting your sign, a combination of creativity, intelligence and charm will take you far. The more proactive you are about money matters, the better.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19 Are you feeling confused and uncertain about your financial future? With nebulous Neptune in your money zone, don’t make any major moves until you have all the facts at hand.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20 With the moon and Mars moving through your solitude zone, aim for some peace and quiet today, Pisces. Spend time in a special place, where you can contemplate your future and look within.

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

Well there were a few glimpses of some waves over the past week if you were lucky enough to have that day off! Moving forward over the weekend it looks like the protected corners from the northerlies will be your best option – Sunshine Beach, Kawana pocket, Kings and Happy Valley – although I am sure that Double Island will be the pick for anyone with a four-wheel-drive and some time. I am hearing it is worse than the Sunshine Plaza car park at Christmas, so go with a sense of humour! If you are lucky enough to be a kite surfer I think you are going to be very busy enjoying these north-easterlies and onshore winds. For those surfers who are preparing for a snowboard holiday in either Japan or Canada, I can tell you it is looking sweeetttt! Happy riding.

FISHING REPORT

with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Flathead are on the drift from Cotton Tree to the high-rises, using jigged soft lures and live whiting. Catch estuary cod and jew at the motorway bridge pylons on the night tide using live herring.

Mud crabs are in the deeper water off Bli Bli islands.

SURF: Tailor are along Maroochy Beach early morn using pillies and any shiny lure. A few choppers and bream can be had at Pincushion just after dark using froggies. Find f athead and whiting in low-tide gutters at North Shore and Maroochy.

OFFSHORE: Water temperatures are increasing, resulting in more mackerel showing up. Trolled baits from the Blinker to Old Woman Island are producing good-quality f sh, when conditions allow. Cobia, black marlin and sailf sh are sharing the same bait schools with sharks. Plenty of reef f sh are being caught on the usual reef areas.

FRESHWATER: A few small bass and spangled perch are showing up at Lake Baroon, but remember, no motor boats are allowed on this dam – perfect for electric motors and kayak f shermen. Somerset is returning red claw, bass and golden perch on live earthworms and live shrimps. The upper reaches of coastal river systems are also returning quality f sh.
