etting paid to write – it’s not a bad way to earn a crust. But like any other profession, ours has its ups and downs.

Some stories just f ow – interviews are easy to obtain and those we chat to are effusive and forthcoming, f ngers f y over keyboards and the result is incredibly satisfying. Others take a bit more effort – interviewees are reserved, ideas take a bit longer to come, and the blank computer screen taunts us. But this week Sam Walker had a certain glow about her as she sat writing the cover story. And I must say, the other journalists in the off ce were happy to hear about it.

It’s a subject close to our hearts – words.

The English language is a wonderfully f uid, alive thing. It is constantly changing and its evolution is a fascinating topic that Sam has explored, over the page. Even if you are not a word nerd I would encourage you to read it – you might discover what all the fuss is about.

We’ve got lots of local news, a technology update and health round-up, which all starts on page 16. For some last-minute Ladies Oaks Day style tips, head to page 33, and in motoring we remember the Drinnans.

After decades in the car industry this family is handing over the keys to its Kunda Park dealership. We talk to Phil Drinnan on page 34.

Now, have you taken part in our readership survey yet? If you haven’t logged on to our website and given us a piece of your mind, I would encourage you to do so today. We want your opinion, and it won’t take you long to share it. Head to myweeklypreview.com.au to take part!

THE EVOLUTION OF LANGUAGE KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES. WORDS: SAM WALKER

W

e eat chokkies and chuck sickies. We crack a coldie with mates and invite people around for a barbie in the arvo.

Most Australians will readily understand this. But if you are new to this country, you might be scratching your head. Colloquialisms like these are what make the Australian vernacular so colourful. Our version of English is quite distinct from British English, American English and even Asian or African English.

The fact is, language is not a static thing. It is f uid and constantly evolving and its nuances change from region to region, dependent on many inf uencing factors. We only have to look at the original works of William Shakespeare to see how much the English language has evolved over the centuries.

Emeritus professor Roly Sussex, retired chair of applied language studies at the University of Queensland, says a language is a means of communication where there is mutual comprehension between a group of people.

And geographical distance is a big contributor to changes in language.

“If you live in a place far from another place then your language tends to become more different,” Sussex says. “For example our English is not always easy to understand for people from say, Scotland or the south of the US or Jamaica and vice versa. In addition, a language like Australian English is very creative and lively and it’s developed its own way of talking about things.

“There’s a lot of words like ‘wino’ and ‘cardy’ and ‘ute’ and so on that we call diminutives and this means we have developed a way of talking between ourselves with different vowels from other Englishes. Our consonants are almost exactly the same with the exception of ‘R’.”

Americans pronounce the ‘R’ sound in words like ‘far’, where Australians tend to cut it off and say ‘fa’.

Moving vowels University of the Sunshine Coast lecturer in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, Dr Michael Carey, says language evolves through speech and morphs over time and the vowels in a language shift constantly.

He compares modern-day English to old and middle English, where the vowels sounded more like German.

If you go back to the 1400s, the vowel in the word ‘time’ was pronounced so the word sounded like ‘teema’. The word ‘see’ was pronounced ‘sair’, like we would say hair. ‘Name’ was ‘nama’, ‘house’ was ‘hoos’ and ‘moon’ was ‘morn’.

“So what has happened over that 600-year period is the vowels have moved in their position in what we call acoustic space,” he says. “Our tongue positions for vowels drift and change position over time.”

Australian English is no different and Carey

Facts

says if you listen to broadcasters from 50 years ago you will hear changes in our speech patterns and it’s continuing to evolve.

The origins of English English is a relatively young language, originating out of a mish-mash of languages brought to Britain by the Vikings, the Normans and the Romans some 1500 years ago and combined with Anglo-Celtic languages.

Carey says it took centuries for these languages to blend and for the vowel space of the speakers to stabilise, although there are still marked differences in accent. It wasn’t until around the 15th and 16th centuries we started to systematise spelling and write pronunciations.

Susan Butler, editor of Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary, says the f rst dictionaries were more like glossaries developed in the 1600s.

“These were really student aids that helped

• Up to 90 per cent of the world’s languages will be lost in the next 100 years • Papua New Guinea is home to about 13 per cent of the world’s languages • Today Latin is spoken only in the Vatican

• Language evolved between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago

• The Macquarie Dictionary has about 150,000 words

• There are 7106 living languages left in the world

• Most people have a vocabulary of 15,000 to 20,000 words

• Only about one third of them are written down

• Hebrew has been revived from written sources to become a modern, working language

• 662 languages have fewer than 100 f rst-language speakers • Australia has 390 individual languages, of which 177 are extinct

Why the Kiwis say fush and chups

The Kiwi pronunciation of vowels has been the butt of many an Australian joke.

We all know New Zealanders order fush and chups while we order f sh and chips but most of us don’t really know why.

It turns out, the vast difference in vowel pronunciation across the ditch stems from a strong Scottish heritage on New Zealand’s south island.

According to Dr Michael Carey, a University of the Sunshine Coast lecturer in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, the vowels in New Zealand have moved up dramatically in what is known as a ‘pull-chain’ effect.

While in Australia, we distinguish the words ‘hit’ and ‘heat’ by the length of the vowel sound, the Scottish say both in the same way.

Carey says in New Zealand a few hundred years ago, the two words were being confused so the ‘i’ vowel moved away from the ‘e’ vowel in the acoustic space and became pronounced like ‘uh’.

“Each vowel has its space and it needs to occupy its own space,” he says.

If one moves it causes the others to move and jostle for position.

So in the chain of events the word ‘hid’ became pronounced as ‘hud’. ‘Head’ is pronounced ‘hid’ and ‘had’ is pronounced ‘hed’.

So next time you hear someone ordering fush and chups, remember our vowels are always on the move and it has taken hundreds of years to arrive at the current pronunciation.

people to go from English to Latin, Greek and French, which were the prestigious languages that every educated person wanted to learn,” Butler says.

Latin was a universal language and English was not well regarded.

How times have changed.

Sussex says today, Latin is a dead language only spoken in the Vatican and taught as a written language in very few schools, while English is being embraced across the globe with rapid advancement in places like Asia.

“English is becoming increasingly used as a language of diplomacy, of business and commerce, of education, of tourism, of medicine, all sorts of places,” he says.

Reviving Hebrew

Hebrew is one of the classical languages, along with Latin, Greek and Sanskrit.

Today it is the national language of Israel but its existence as a living, working language is remarkable.

For thousands of years it was the language of worship for Jewish people and was preserved in the synagogue, says emeritus professor Roly Sussex, but was not widely spoken.

“It is one of the few examples where a language has been revived from written sources and is now a full working communication medium in modern Israel.

“It is not easy [to revive a language] and you need a very educated, very determined and very clever lot of people [to do it],” he says.

A growing language But it was the advent of the printing press and the dictionary that helped make English a more uniform language.

Butler says the f rst English dictionary, and the forerunner to modern dictionaries, was published in 1755 by Dr Samuel Johnson. It contained 40,000 words. As society has grown and changed, the dictionary has evolved and grown, inf uenced by fashion and trends, geography and technology.

Sussex says new words come about through borrowing from other languages, which English did enormously until the 20th century, but now we are giving words to other languages.

English lecturer Michael Carey says language evolves through speech and morphs over time when vowels move their position in ‘acoustic space’

Many words are invented by technology, some are unique to professions and others are associated with places. Australian English has borrowed many words, such as ‘yakka’ and ‘kangaroo’, from Aboriginal languages.

Sussex says young people also inf uence language but generally within their own generation.

‘Cool’ is one example used by younger generations and likely to continue to the next generation.

The Macquarie Dictionary online contains about 150,000 words. The Macquarie team scans newspapers, watches the news and TV programs, tunes into the radio and listens to conversations at parties to research the use of words.

“You look for evidence, for currency of the word, the word being in use in the community,” Butler says.

Words not commonly in use are never taken out of the online dictionary but might be marked as ancient if spoken only by a few people or obsolete if it dates back a few centuries.

“I think there have been changes which are quite noticeable and have had a real effect on the language,” Butler says. “The f rst of those I can remember was in the 1980s when we all started getting PCs and using computers.

“You know, the ’80s was all about hardware and the ’90s was all about software and games continued over>

and things … and from there we go on to the internet and we acquired a whole new vocabulary for life on the internet in all its forms.”

Butler says most people have a vocabulary of between 15,000 and 20,000 words, some of which we don’t use often. “But we each have a different collection of words within that personal lexicon so that my 20,000 wouldn’t be exactly the same as your 20,000 and so on.”

Language – past and future Language is believed to have developed between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago. Today about 7100 languages exist and remarkably, Sussex says about 13 per cent of them are found in Papua New Guinea. The high number is due to people in Papua New Guinea living in remote areas, with little movement and contact with other people.

“Basically, language is one of the things which is most important to our identity as individuals and when it disappears, when we lose it, then an important bit of us goes as well,” he says.

Sadly, with increased globalisation and more young people learning “big languages” like English we are losing languages at an extraordinary rate.

“Within the next 100 years we are certain to lose 50 per cent and we’re possibly going to lose 90 per cent of them, so it’s really a very sad situation,” Sussex says.

“...the ‘80s was all about hardware, the ‘90s was all about software and games ... and from there we go on to the internet and we acquired a whole new vocabulary for life on the internet in all its forms.”

It is just as sad in Australia where Aboriginal languages, believed to have numbered nearly 400 when Captain Cook arrived in 1770, have seriously declined.

“We’ve now got 70, of which maybe 30 are in reasonably good shape, which means the next generation is learning it and using it and there are some social structures supporting it like medical and education and so on,” Sussex says.

The advancement of technology has changed the way we write but Carey says it doesn’t mean a decline in the English language. “There’s all this scaremongering about texting replacing proper English.”

But he says the advent of email brought about similar concerns and we’ve accepted that it is a different genre with new skills. “It’s really not that these things are changing our language, it’s that they’re another option for communication and they have their own rules.”

LOCAL HEART DISEASE RATE ON THE RISE

A

n extra 6000 cardiology patients are expected to require hospitalisation or interventional treatment when the Sunshine Coast Public University Hospital opens in 2016/17.

Australian Health Survey data

by Medicare Local shows the prevalence of cardiovascular disease for the Sunshine Coast is 21.6 per cent, 5.3 per cent more than the state average.

Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service data shows in 2012/13 more than 7200 hospitalisations were for cardiac conditions and the f gure is expected to increase to 11,400 by the time the new hospital opens.

Member for Caloundra Mark McArdle says the SCPUH will provide cardiac services for more complex adult patients, including a coronary care unit, four interventional procedure labs, ICU and two operating theatres for cardiac surgery.

It will not include heart transplants.

“Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease are estimated to contribute to 80 per cent of the burden of disease and injury suffered

by Australians,” McArdle says.

It means an extra 1800 local cardiology patients will be treated closer to home in 2016/17.

“It is important to remember that cardiac disease is a largely preventable disease and I understand the hospital health service will in the future support

Warning signs of a heart attack include: • Pain, pressure, heaviness or tightness in the jaw, neck, shoulders, chest, back or arms • Nausea, dizziness, cold sweat and shortness of breath Risk Factors for heart attack • Smoking – active or passive • High blood cholesterol • High blood pressure • Diabetes • Being physically inactive • Being overweight • Depression, social isolation and lack of quality support For more information about determining your risk of a heart attack visit heartfoundation.org.au.

clinical research and prevention programs such as heart failure services to prevent hospital admissions,” he says.

Heart Foundation spokeswoman Jacqui Molensen says more than one million Australians aged 30 to 65 are at high risk of having a heart attack but they may not know it.

The Heart Foundation states warning signs of a heart attack can vary from person to person and are not limited to just men.

If people experience the warning signs of heart attack for 10 minutes, if they are severe or get progressively worse, call 000 immediately and ask for an ambulance.

Olive oil for heart health A new study has conf rmed what many have been preaching for years – olive oil is good for you.

But you get what you pay for. Highquality extra virgin varieties are far more likely to prevent heart attacks and stroke than cheaper processed types.

Spanish dietician Marta Guasch-Ferre, who visited Australia to present the f ndings of a major research project, says 50 grams, or 3.5 tablespoons of olive oil a day is ideal for a person at high risk of cardiovascular disease.

The oil should make up about 10 per cent of the calories in a healthy diet.

And while it is better raw, she says heat is not a major issue. “Different types of olive oil are associated with different levels of risk reduction,” Guasch-Ferre says.

“When olive oil is processed and ref ned it loses some of its benef cial properties.”

OAKS DAY FOR DANIEL

Blood donation falls short A spike in bouts of cold and f u is impacting on Queensland’s blood donor numbers.

As many as 1000 blood donors a week are cancelling or rescheduling appointments due to winter ailments.

The drop-off has prompted the Blood Service to issue a call for 3500 more Queensland donors over the next month to help keep blood supplies stocked for winter.

Data from the Department of Health shows a national 60 per cent increase in inf uenza cases year-to-date compared to the same period last year.

Blood Service Spokesperson Rebecca Ind says the need for blood never takes a break. To make an appointment to donate blood call 131495 or visit donateblood.com.au.

ou might be seeing red at Ladies Oaks Day. But it’s all for a good cause.

The Daniel Morcombe Foundation is the benef ciary of the annual racing event, which is in its 10th year.

And the foundation’s event manager Tracey McAsey says the sponsorship is extremely important to the ongoing work to keep children safe.

“At the moment we are gearing up for our national day of action, which is the Day for Daniel,” she says. “The funds raised from this event will assist us in producing resources to help educate children in personal safety.”

The Day for Daniel is a national campaign, which will be held on October 31.

Last year nearly 1000 schools and 1000 businesses took part in the day to educate the community about child protection and safety.

Denise & Bruce Morcombe “It is one of the largest child protection events in Australia of this nature,” McAsey says.

Racegoers are encouraged to wear a splash of red to show their support for the Daniel Morcombe Foundation.

The day will include live music, headlined by Evermore and Sheppard and live racing all day.

Ladies Oaks Day will be held at the Sunshine Coast Turf Club on Friday May 30.

Entry is $25 and gates open at 10am.

Kiwis scramble to win winter trip to the Coast A Sunshine Coast Mother’s Day competition attracted more than 13,000 entries from Kiwis keen to win a winter break and visit the Queensland Garden Expo.

The competition was offered as a partnership between Sunshine Coast Destination, Flight Centre New Zealand and TVNZ Breakfast Show.

More than 150,000 viewers from around New Zealand tuned in each day to the three-day promotion, which aimed to highlight winter events on the Sunshine Coast. Viewers were offered the chance to enter a prize promotion to win a fabulous trip to one of Australia’s largest gardening events – the Queensland Garden Expo, held in July.

Nambour author delves into the paranormal

]

World Environment Day Festival set to inspire Sustainability initiatives are set to shine when University of the Sunshine Coast researchers present their bright ideas at this year’s Sunshine Coast World Environment Day Festival.

The free family event’s theme is “have fun while you learn something useful” and is expected to attract thousands of people from across the region.

USC’s pro vice-chancellor (Engagement) Professor Mike Hefferan says there is a strong synergy between the goals of the festival and university, which has hosted the community event since 2008.

“The World Environment Day Festival gives us a chance to share our recent developments with the wider community and encourage sustainable living,” Hefferan says.

More than a dozen USC academics will outline their research projects in a series of two- or three-minute talks in

Nambour’s Joanne Efendi has stepped into the world of the paranormal with the launch of her debut novel Illuminated Darkness.

The former journalist says she has always had a love of writing but this book is her f rst work of f ction.

“I always had an aff nity for writing f ction – the romance genre in particular,” Efendi says.

The self-published novel is a paranormal romance based on Haitian voodoo mythology aimed at the 15to 18-year-old market.

Associate Professor David Schoeman will be at the festival to discuss how biological systems are likely to react to our changing climate a presentation entitled USC’s Bright Ideas for Sustainability.

The festival will be held on Sunday June 8 from 10am to 4pm and will include food, music, entertainment, workshops, displays, crafts and games.

Does your current f nancial adviser help you access the age pension even if you have up to $1M in investments?

While she says the writing was the easy part, the editing and publishing process was a learning curve.

Efendi is already working on several other manuscripts for the new adult contemporary genre aimed at 18- to 25-year-olds.

Illuminated Darkness is published in paperback and e-book and can be bought from the Amazon and iTunes stores.

Cooroy Bruce Highway expansion underway Lend Lease Engineering has secured the third and f nal contract for works to complete the Bruce Highway’s $590 million Cooroy to Curra Section A upgrade.

Queensland minister for Transport and Main Roads Scott Emerson says the contract for Cooroy Southern Interchange to Cudgerie Drive will duplicate the six-kilometre Cooroy bypass and deliver two lanes in each direction, doubling the highway’s capacity.

New bridges will also be built over Six Mile Creek and the existing Cooroy Southern Interchange will be upgraded.

The Australian and Queensland governments have each committed $295 million to the Cooroy to Curra Section A project, which is expected to be complete by late 2016.

Adobe Voice App

Weekly read > Australia’s off cial dictionary might not be the f rst port of call for most interested in some online reading but for anyone interested in words and language it is worth checking out. Access to the dictionary itself requires a paid subscription. But the website has a lot of interesting information including the Aussie word of the week, highlighting a colloquialism, the Word of the Year, the word cloud, which includes the most searched words each week, the Australian Word Map, which provides quirky regionalisms from around the nation and grammar and punctuation guides. To discover more visit macquariedictionary.com.au.

Free (iPad) Do you want to make quick, stunning videos to share on Facebook? Haven’t got images or a soundtrack but have a story to tell? No problem. Take a look at Adobe’s new app Voice. I was particularly impressed at how easy it is to create an amazing presentation in minutes. This app will be a welcome addition for businesses, with various templates to choose from including Promote an Idea, Teach a Lesson or Explain Something. Simply add images (more than 25,000 icons to choose from), select a soundtrack and record your message to inspire the world. This is a powerful, visual concept that will have you going back for more. Adobe Voice is available free for iPad (IOS).

Bits and Bytes >> Twitter introduces Mute If you’ve ever wanted to silence some of the ‘voices’ in the Twittersphere, you will love Twitter’s new mute button. The social media site has begun letting users ‘mute’ posts from people they are not interested in hearing from. The feature, which is being added to Twitter iPhone and Android applications as well as the twitter.com site, is expected to be rolled out to all Twitter accounts in coming weeks. Muting someone at Twitter stops any messages that person tweets from popping up in the timeline of whoever hit the virtual button. Push or text messages from muted Twitter accounts will not be delivered. People will still be able to see, ‘re-tweet’, or comment on Twitter posts of those who have muted them, but the person doing the muting will not be looped into the activity.

oogle Glass is making an impact on the medical world with surgeons at a British hospital using the technology in the operating theatre.

The voice-activated glasses, which feature a tiny display above the wearer’s eyes, can record video and live-stream operations via the internet.

David Isaac, an orthopaedic surgeon at Torbay Hospital in Devon, became the f rst surgeon in the UK to use Google Glass in a live operation. Google Glass has since been used by surgeons across the hospital, including in a variety of orthopaedic procedures and ear, nose and throat operations.

Torbay Hospital says the technology has “huge potential” for medical education, with students in a lecture theatre able to see and hear from the surgeon’s viewpoint.

Meanwhile Google has opened up sales of its head-mounted Glass gadget to all US residents ahead of

A post on the Google Plus social network says Google is still working on improving the device’s hardware and software ahead of a wider consumer release.

A handful of devices have found their way to Australia, where local developers and large companies have been working on software. But there is still no indication of when the gadget will be available to Australian consumers.

Tech terms in dictionary ‘Self e’, ‘hashtag’ and ‘tweep’ are among more than 150 new words added to America’s best-selling Merriam-Webster dictionary, spotlighting the growing inf uence of technology.

“So many of these new words show the impact of online connectivity to our lives and livelihoods,” says Peter Sokolowski, editor-at-large for MerriamWebster. “Tweep, self e, and hashtag refer to the ways we communicate and share as individuals.”

Originally a social media buzzword, ‘self e’ was admitted to the online version of the Oxford English Dictionary in 2013, which named it word of the year.

Merriam-Webster def nes ‘self e’ as “an image of oneself taken by oneself using a digital camera especially for posting on social networks”.

The dictionary says a “more playful intersection” of technology and human behaviour can be seen in ‘steampunk’. The word made the cut and was def ned as “science

f ction dealing with 19th century societies dominated by historical or imagined steam-powered technology”.

‘Crowdfunding’, ‘big data’ and ‘gamif cation’ were also added, showing “how technology is being used to understand and motivate behaviour”, the dictionary says.

‘Fracking’ was also admitted to the dictionary. The technique involves using huge amounts of pressurised water mixed with chemicals to crack open shale to release natural gas or oil. It has unlocked an energy boom in the US but has sparked controversy in Australia as a threat to the environment.

WEEKLY CHECK-UP A round-up of the health stories that made news this week.

Australian men have the third highest life expectancy in the world, but women are lagging in sixth place, according to the World Health Organisation.

However, women are expected to live 84.6 years on average, compared with 80.5 for men. The f gures are for a baby born in 2012.

In poor countries life expectancy has increased because fewer children are dying before their f fth birthday.

In richer countries, it is because fewer people are dying of heart disease and stroke before 60.

Iceland tops the male table at a healthy average of 81.2 years, with Japanese women expected to live 87.

A boy born in 2012 in a highincome country can expect to live to about 76. This is 16 years longer than a boy born in a low-income country. For girls, it’s 82 in rich countries compared with 63 in poor countries.

Jetlag skin patch can help babies’ brains A skin patch designed to combat jetlag could help prevent death and disability among babies who are deprived of oxygen at birth.

The melatonin patches, commonly used in the US for jetlag, might reduce brain cell death when used after birth asphyxia has

occurred, according to a Monash University study.

Four million babies a year suffer a lack of oxygen during birth worldwide. The f gure in Australia is around 1200, resulting in more than 100 deaths and around 250 cases of cerebral palsy, epilepsy or vision and hearing loss.

Monash University PhD student James Aridas hopes to start human trials of the patches in India in 2015.

“We’re hoping that we can reduce mortality rates in newborns and improve the quality of life for children who go on to develop conditions such as cerebral palsy.”

Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain. It helps neutralise free radicals released after birth asphyxia. “There is an important window of time after birth when our treatment can potentially reduce permanent brain injury,” says Aridas.

Grandchildren good for the brain Grannies who look after their grandchildren for a limited amount of time each week have better brain power than those who don’t. A University of Melbourne study shows they have superior memory and faster cognitive speed. But this is reversed if the grandparent is exhausted by f ve or more days a week of childcare.

New research could help OCD sufferers A part of the brain linked to guilt may explain the vicious circle of negative thinking suffered by people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), a study has found.

And the f ndings could lead to new ways of treating the distressing disorder.

A key characteristic of OCD is believing that negative thoughts will become a reality, leading to a spiralling build-up of anxiety and guilt.

The new study looked at brain wave patterns in people with varying degrees of OCD symptoms.

Scientists found that feelings of anxiety and guilt were associated with increased activity in a brain region called the precuneus.

Previous research has linked the precuneus with the processing of self-attribution, responsibility, causal reasoning, and “moral transgression” guilt.

Study leader Professor Joydeep Bhattacharya, from Goldsmiths, University of London, says, “OCD sufferers experience more guilt and anxiety out of the kind of negative thoughts we might all have from time to time. Once they

have these thoughts, they feel guilty and subsequently make attempts to suppress and neutralise them, but fail, so entering into a vicious circle.”

Precuneus activity was found to be greater in individuals with more extreme OCD symptoms.

Activity increased when an individual experienced greater “thought-action fusion” – the belief that a negative event will become reality.

Co-author Dr Rhiannon Jones, from the University of Winchester, says, “These f ndings could possibly prove to be a signif cant step towards treating OCD. Our next step is to use brain stimulation methods to attempt to modify thought-action fusion. That will allow us to conf rm the causal role of these neural f ndings, and hopefully f nd a way to reduce these harmful thought-cycles.”

The research was published in the journal Neuroimage: Clinical.

INTRODUCTION TO ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS Justin Scattini is from Ord Minnett in Buderim

The alternatives category encompasses a diverse range of investments that aim to provide different return and risk characteristics to traditional bonds and listed stocks. Although these investments can be more complex and expensive to manage than the traditional kind, investors use them in the expectation of earning a premium return, taking advantage of the opportunity to search among less eff ciently priced assets.

As a result, their inclusion in an investment portfolio can improve its return and risk characteristics.

The alternatives category includes private equity, hedge funds and infrastructure. Each type of investment allows knowledgeable investment managers to earn a premium over traditional assets. The pioneers of alternative investing have been the endowment funds of major American universities, such as Yale and Harvard.

Australian private investors have shown little interest in alternatives.

In part, this ref ects a lack of access to viable alternative investment managers. But institutional investors have had ready access – Australia’s Future Fund currently allocates 30 per cent of its $100 billion portfolio to alternative investments.

The alternative investor’s expectation is that by allocating part of an investment portfolio to such investments, benef ts include: • A portfolio’s expected returnrisk prof le can be improved because the returns from alternative investments can behave differently to traditional assets such as stocks and bonds; • Generation of positive returns when stocks and bonds are underperforming; • Access a wider opportunity set of investments, reducing concentration risk; • Better align the maturities of assets with liabilities in a portfolio; and • Allow the generation of a preferred cash-f ow stream.

Alternatives have had low correlations with cash and f xed interest, and low, negative correlations with equities. These variations contribute to different return and risk characteristics in an investment portfolio. Since 1994 alternative investments have, on average, produced a higher return with less volatility than Australian equities.

THE END OF AN ERA

Taken in about 1990, this photo shows the Daniel Street, Caloundra car yard

I

t’s been 35 years since a man called Doug Drinnan established a humble car dealership in Caloundra, the beginning of a family legacy which last month came to an end.

The Drinnans are now no longer in the car dealership business and it’s thanks to another name that’s synonymous with cars on the Coast – Garry Crick. The Crick group has taken over Drinnan Honda.

Doug handed over the reins of his Caloundra business to son Phil, who ran it with him for seven years before they sold it in 2010. Phil then established Sunshine Coast Honda, which recently changed its name to Drinnan Honda.

Phil tells MWP that Crick

“approached us and presented an offer that was going to work for us”. It was an opportunity that the Drinnans couldn’t pass up.

“It was a very clean way to do it for both of us,” says Phil. “We have both bought and sold dealerships and we both knew what to do.”

He adds, “Because you are part

of a global manufacturer, the staff Garry Crick put on have to be approved by Honda. They [Honda] want to know they [the new owner] will make it work.”

Sam Bohner becomes the dealer principal and Devlin Griff ths the dealership’s new general manager.

Both men are well known and

respected in the local industry.

Phil acknowledges the sale marks a huge change for him – his father has been in the industry since he was a small boy and Phil himself has been involved in the business for 10 years. He says, “And it is a relentless industry. There is always something happening – used car prices change, warranty, oil prices. It’s all constantly changing. Then on top of that labour and HR.” He says the new owners “won’t change too much initially. We have extra capacity in the service area and I have a feeling they might introduce extra service needs.”

However, customers will notice very little change when they head to the Kunda Park showroom.

“There’s the same staff; the only one replaced is me.” Phil adds, “The staff were very sad to see me go.

Drinnan’s service staff - circa 2002

Doug & Phil Drinnan

One member has been with us 34 years. She saw the end of Caloundra. It was an emotional, good farewell and I was very proud of the staff and how they took it.”

Phil is now “looking at other opportunities and working with Dad’s land development [at Meridan Plains]. Doing the marketing for that.”

He’s taking a well-earned break, though, and spending time with family.

“In six months I will stick my

head back around. I have a few ideas. I am in a good position where I can explore a few avenues. I am very fortunate, at 39 the world is my oyster. It is quite exciting. I love working and I love being busy.”

But for now he is happy to tidy up the house, build a cubbyhouse and f x the garden. When asked if he would ever consider a return to the industry his response is, “Never say never.”

It’s perhaps not the last Sunshine Coast car buyers have seen of the Drinnan name.

Stepping up to the ST-L adds bigger wheels, satellite navigation, rear view camera, front and rear parking sensors, premium BOSE audio with smartphone integration, leather wheel and gearshift and an eight-way electric driver’s seat.

Nissan’s ‘Intelligent Technology Suite’ safety package – incorporating blind spot warning, lane departure warning and all-round view monitor – is optional on this model and standard on the Ti and Ti-S. The

f agship model is the only one that gets the punchy V6 as well as wheelmounted gearshift paddles.

The Altima’s seats are worthy of mention. Nissan boasts that they borrowed technology from NASA to develop its zero gravity design for the driver and passenger seats – claiming they position occupants in a posture similar to that achieved in a weightless environment.

The Altima showed itself to be a serene place to be on the open road on our shortish weekend trip.

In both engine conf gurations we found the Altima to be impressively smooth and quiet, thanks to unobtrusive engine performance coupled to a smooth-changing CVT (Constantly Variable Transmission), which Nissan calls Xtronic.

While I’ve been a critic of these gearboxes in the past, it seems to work very adequately in the Altima, particularly when matched to the V6.

In the four-cylinder variant, it’s

equally smooth except when the car is asked to accelerate vigorously, which causes the engine to roar and rev more than seems necessary. Once up and rolling, though, the CVT combines smooth operation with a long-legged, loping feel when cruising.

That’s ref ected in the fuel consumption – the V6 uses 9.3 litres per 100 kilometres while the 2.5-litre four sips as little as 7.5 litres 100 kilometres. That’s impressive for a biggish machine.

The Altima’s cockpit is thoughtfully produced, if a little uninspired.

Instruments are clear and easily read, as is the trip computer, which features a comprehensive range of information including instant and average fuel consumption, range, and, where appropriate, navigation directions.

Despite its reasonably sleek, elegant design, the Altima manages to deliver vast interior space. We were able to f t half of my son’s high school basketball team in without discomfort – including a rear-seat passenger who stands two metres tall. The boot is also

usefully roomy, with ample width and depth for at least three full-sized sets of golf clubs.

So the Altima is well-suited to all manner of sporting pursuits – even if it never wins Bathurst.

NISSAN ALTIMA Details: Four-door, f ve-seat full-sized sedan with choice of four-cylinder or six-cylinder petrol engines, Constantly Variable transmission.

Tech stuff: 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine produces 127kW, 230Nm; 3.5-litre V6 produces 183kW, 312Nm; X-Tronic CVT transmission has manual sport mode with gearshift paddles on Ti-S model.

Features: Airbags, Vehicle Dynamic Control, active understeer control, traction control ABS with electronic distribution and brake assist; alloy wheels, Bluetooth connectivity, BOSE audio with seven-inch colour display, satellite navigation, electric seats, windows and mirrors.

Thirst: 7.5L/100km (four-cylinder); 9.3L/100km (V6).

Verdict: Built for comfort, not for speed.

Bottom line: From $29,990; as tested $35,890 (ST-L); $45,390 (Ti-S).

BEACHSIDE BEAUTY If position is everything, Verve on Cotton Tree certainly has an advantage.

I

n the heart of one of the Coast’s most sought-after beachside locations, Verve on Cotton Tree is ideally located to take advantage of its central position close to boutique shops and cafes, the river and patrolled beaches.

The eight-storey development comprises 45 apartments including one-bedroom, two-bedroom and two-bedroom plus media room conf gurations, along with stunning four-bedroom penthouses which take in ocean and hinterland views. The apartments boast 2.6-metre ceilings, Smeg appliances, designer kitchens with stone benchtops and large balconies to capture the sea breezes. The smart complex design includes fully integrated security systems, a resort-style pool and onsite management for peace of mind.

On Sixth Avenue, Verve on Cotton Tree has been designed to take advantage of Cotton Tree’s village atmosphere and is within a two-kilometre radius of Sunshine Plaza, Maroochydore’s central business district and the new Ocean Street redevelopment. As a result, it appeals to investors and owner-occupiers seeking a convenient beachside lifestyle.

The development comprises 45 apartments including stunning four-bedroom penthouses which take in ocean and hinterland views With 50 per cent of the apartments sold, local development company Dinstarr Project Management says construction will begin in the very near future and completion is expected towards the end of 2015.

For more information go to verveoncotton tree.com.au or visit the display at 87 Aerodrome Road, Maroochydore, which is open seven days from 10am to 4pm.

A home that’s out of this world A Florida mansion currently listed for sale for $35 million contains an unusual home theatre – it’s modelled after the bridge of Star Trek’s USS Enterprise.

According to news.com.au the eight-bedroom home has 16 bathrooms, its own internal waterfall and a ballroom that houses more than 60 vintage arcade games and pinball machines. It also has the home theatre with authentic sound effects, a ceiling that twinkles with tiny ‘stars’ and a huge television screen where the bridge’s command centre screen would be.

The mansion is owned by tech entrepreneur Marc Bell and is thought to be the most expensive home ever listed in its Miami postcode.

New agent for RE/MAX in Caloundra

RE/MAX Property Services has welcomed new agent Clive Hawkes to its sales team.

Hawkes has more than 20 years’ sales and marketing experience at a national and international level, and says his approach to real estate relies on strong attention to detail and a client-centred approach.

“My goal in real estate is to establish lifelong relationships with my clients,” he says.“The f nest compliment I can receive is a referral.”

Home sweet smart home We’ve come to terms with the smart phone, but are you ready for the smart home?

Research by a British energy company has found the idea of a smart, digital home is becoming a more common and accepted.

A survey found 46 per cent of Britons believe the use of remote devices around the home, such as smartphones to control appliances, is a positive thing. In fact, one in

10 said they couldn’t live without these gadgets.

The survey of 2000 British residents by Npower found 22 per cent said using remote devices saves them time, while 10 per cent said it had saved them money.

Npower’s Simon Stacey says, “It’s not just about homes having more technology in them, but more the fact that these tools are becoming more intelligent and are able to

[ 40 ] MY W EEKLY P RE VIE W \ M AY 23, 2014

40.indd 1

pro-actively help people manage their home environments.

“Through our study, it will be fascinating to see how these devices are inf uencing the dynamics within the home and, ultimately, who within the household holds the controls.”

Home owners were also keen to see more technology become available to them, with 33 per cent wanting to be

able to turn on more devices, such as hair straighteners, remotely, while a quarter said they would like to be able to decorate the house remotely.

Perhaps they need robots instead of remotes.

Whatever the case, it seems ‘smart’ technology is destined to have an everincreasing presence in homes and Australia is sure to be moving with the trend.

ARIES [March 21-April 20] Do you feel as if you’ve been treading water … or even going backwards? Has a partnership felt as if it’s more trouble than it’s worth? Thank goodness mighty Mars moves forwards on Tuesday, so you’ll start to feel much more positive and proactive about life and love.

TAURUS [April 21-May 21] Bulls – don’t take good health for granted. Be proactive about making healthy choices, and prioritise time for exercise and nutritious meals. As birthday great Ralph Waldo Emerson reminds us “The first wealth is health.” Is a relationship going through a bumpy patch?

GEMINI [May 22-June 21] Gung-ho Gemini – avoid the temptation to skim over important details. You’re keen to zoom ahead but remember there’s a fine line between making smart snap decisions and messy mistakes. The stars are super for artistic endeavours and creative thinking.

CANCER [June 22-July 23] Has a family relationship been getting rocky? The stars encourage healing, as you start communicating. You’ll have to be proactive and make the first move though.

As birthday great Bob Dylan says “There is nothing so stable as change.”

LEO [July 24-Aug 23] Calling all lions! Avoid being a bossy-boots this week.

Cool compromise and clear communication will get you further than tantrums and prima donna behaviour. On the weekend, Saturn stabilises a domestic situation and helps you solve a problem.

VIRGO [Aug 24-Sep 23] You’re at your versatile Virgo best, as the sun shimmies through in your career zone (until June 21). Professional projects are favoured as you move ahead with confidence and creativity. Mars moves forwards in your money zone, but don’t be rash with cash.

LIBRA [Sep 24-Oct 23] Many Librans have been feeling lazy and lackluster, as Mars has retrograded through your sign since early March. Thankfully the warrior planet finally moves forwards on Tuesday and you’ll start to feel more motivated, as your mojo returns in spades!

SCORPIO [Oct 24-Nov 22] Smart Scorpios know that sustainable success doesn’t just drop out of the sky. So this week’s stars are super for utilising every opportunity that comes your way, as you take an adventurous idea and make it happen through hard work and awesome organisation.

SAGITTARIUS [Nov 23-Dec 21] Are you viewing a family member through rose-coloured glasses? Perhaps it’s time to be more realistic about what’s really going on? The weekend Jupiter/ Saturn trine is a time when good luck meets preparation, as you capitalise on opportunities that come your way.

CAPRICORN [Dec 22-Jan 20] It’s a great week to set goals with the big picture in mind.

Small dramas and minor irritations fade into the background, as you look to the future with excitement and enthusiasm. The Jupiter/Saturn trine boosts productivity and helps you socialise.

AQUARIUS [Jan 21-Feb 19] Aquarians are feeling mighty adventurous, as Mars moves forwards in your travel zone and stirs your wanderlust! Your motto comes from birthday great Ralph Waldo Emerson “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”

PISCES [Feb 20-March 20] Are you living in a Piscean fantasy world? Saturn sends a reality check this week – involving future goals. So focus and get organised. The moon and Neptune give you a creativity boost on Thursday and Friday but don’t waste precious time on the weekend.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

Bring it on! The ASP tour rolls on to Fiji – as Molly would say, do yourself a favour and watch the highlight reel of last year’s f nal day. If that does not blow your mind you might be dead!

There was insane surf ng with Kelly Slater winning. If he wins again it will be incredible!

Local girl Dimity Stoyle is ready to unleash now she knows where she belongs at the top. Bells was unfortunate so hopefully they score some epic-size swell in Fiji. Now, as for this weekend on the Coast – small waves with ideal conditions on Saturday. Enjoy!

FISHING REPORT with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Quality whiting will be taking yabbies opposite the Bli Bli oyster banks on the rising tide with the bigger tides this week to suit better. Catch trevally and f athead on plastic lures at the mouths of Petrie and Eudlo creeks.

Mud crabs are on the move down the Maroochy River.

SURF: Bream are at Mudjimba on the night high tide using mullet f llet and f athead in the low-tide gutters during the day. Find whiting along Maroochy Beach with pippies best. Tailor will be at Pincushion with better quality just after dark using WA pillies.

OFFSHORE: Catch Spanish mackerel on trolled lures at The Gneerings with early morning best.

Most reef areas are returning squire, sweetlip and parrot, with the technique of jigging plastic baits returning bigger f sh.

FRESHWATER: It has been one of the best starts to the bass season with lures trolled along the weed line in almost any impoundment returning f sh. Somerset also has golden and silver perch with baits and lures working, but varies at each location. Fly f shers are enjoying bass and togas up at Borumba with visitors just enjoying the view.
