Oct 4 Sick of seeing social media posts of shiny, happy families with their clean children? So was comedian Anna Brennan! So she created the show Parenting Fails. From baby names that should be outlawed to mums eating their placentas, this show is bound to make you feel like Parent of the Year. Not just for the mamas and papas, Parenting Fails is for anyone who ever busted out of their own mum (or were yanked through the sunroof). It’s on Sunday, October 4 at 7.30pm at The Events Centre, Caloundra. Go to theeventscentre.com.au.
Oct 31-Nov 15 You are invited to be part of the celebrations for the Coast’s premier art award and outdoor sculpture show on Spicers’ 18-acre property.

Now in its 10th year, Sculpture on the Edge has grown into one of Queensland’s premier art award exhibitions, awarding environmental site-specific sculpture. The free exhibition opens daily from 9am to 4pm, for two weeks from October 31 to November 15. Spicers Tamarind Retreat is at 88 Obi Lane South, Maleny. Tickets to the opening night and award presentation are $55 and can be purchased at sculptureontheedge.com.au.

FAST FACTS
Looking back.
Did you know?
Proclamation of Yandina
The world’s shortest and longest alphabets
During September 2020, the Yandina community celebrated 150 years since the proclamation of Yandina as a Township Reserve on September 23, 1870.
The longest alphabet in the world is Khmer, the official language of Cambodia, with 74 letters. Khmer is an Austro-Asiatic language spoken by approximately 12 million people. The language with the shortest alphabet in the world is Rotokas, and Eastern-Papuan language, with only 12 letters. Rotokas is spoken by approximately 4000 people in the island of Bougainville, in Papua New Guinea.
24 million The first pigs were brought from E & H Law’s boarding house, on the corner of Farrell Street and Stevens Street, Yandina in the 1920s. The boarding house was originally owned by Mrs Murray (1896 to circa 1903). It was used as a private residence for some years until it was acquired by the Law family. The building was demolished in 1988.
Quote of the week. “No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” – Nelson Mandela
Do you remember?
BY THE NUMBERS
Europe to Australia by the First Fleet in 1788. Imported as livestock, pigs soon escaped and established wild populations that have expanded over time. Today, it is estimated that Australia has up to 24 million feral pigs. They are among Queensland’s most widespread and damaging pest animals.
1941 In 1941, Toyne’s patent for the all-important hoisting mechanism lapsed, paving the way for returned soldier Lance Hill from Adelaide to incorporate Toyne’s know-how as the basis for his own product, to become known as the Hills Hoist.
In 1954, the government announced the introduction of the two-tiered TV system — a government-funded service run by the ABC, and two commercial services in Sydney and Melbourne. Mainstream television was launched on September 16, 1956 in Willoughby with Nine Network station TCN-9-Sydney. The new medium was introduced by advertising executive Bruce Gyngell.

FEATURE STORY
Growing together Compass Institute has changed the lives of countless Sunshine Coast residents who live with a disability, and one of its most important enterprises is the Compass Farm, where trainees experience the joys and challenges of farming. WORDS: Janine Hill.

wing off a dirt road out the back of Palmwoods on to a bitumen drive that takes a dip before nosing past two older-style brick buildings and a block fence painted with sunny yellow flowers to a green paddock ramping up towards the sky. A cascade of verdant green flows around heaped garden beds, colourful sheds, animal yards and what is surely the most luxurious chook pen on the Sunshine Coast, aptly named Cluckingham Palace. Welcome to Compass Farm, where it seems everything grows, but, as I will find out, the most important product is its people. The time is close to 10.30am and people are scurrying like ants to a shed, which is the working hub of the farm where they will meet for morning tea. I meet Beth, who is just a little excited about singing a Whitney Houston number in front of everyone in a few days’ time, and Mitch, who has earned farm fame for his extra-curricular theatrical activities. Around the corner, a couple of blokes keep quiet watch over trays of drying garlic and boxes of cleaned and trimmed ginger, and another is keen to point out there are also buckets of blueberries. Everything they show me has been grown on the 20-acre property, which is a place for people with disabilities to learn, get outdoors, make friends, and

experience work and all its toil and resultant satisfaction. The farm is one of a number of social enterprises run by the Compass Institute, a Sunshine Coast-based charity that provides educational and vocational training opportunities for people with disabilities to go some way towards filling the void that often opens up for them once they finish school. Compass works with 160 trainees at five locations between Caboolture and Gympie. Besides the farm, other Compass social enterprises include cafes at Nambour and the Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Garden, Earth and Wood woodwork and pottery at Caloundra, and the Wabi Sabi gift shop at Palmwoods. The farm began in a small way 10 years ago on land that had been used for mango and avocado farming. From four trainees and two trainers, it has grown to host up to 50 trainees a day led by 15 trainers. The concept of the farm grew from a seed planted in Compass managing director David Dangerfield’s mind more than 20 years earlier. “The idea of Compass Farm first came to my mind in the late 1980s and was based on an experience I’d had in New Zealand,” Mr Dangerfield says. “Over the following 20-plus years the dream was always in the background until Compass launched in 2003. From that
The Compass Farm bee team at work moment on our team focused on making the dream a reality. “In 2010, through a combination of serendipity, planning and hard work, we were able to purchase the property in Hunchy and create the amazing space that is there today. “Compass Farm is a showcase where people with disabilities demonstrate that they are more than capable of taking up meaningful roles in their community.” The farm program is flexible and planned activities can be thrown out the door on any day to attend to jobs that can arise on a farm like fixing a broken pump.
Trainers’ own interests can also direct learning. Singing sessions on a Thursday afternoon are held under the guidance of and using equipment belonging to a trainer who has a background as a professional singer. But while that is fun, there is work to be done – digging, planting, watering picking, pruning. What is grown on the farm is either used or sold in the onsite Harvest Kitchen, another Compass enterprise, where trainees make jams and chutneys, and cook lunch for those who want it. Money made through the individual activities on the farm is reinvested into myweeklypreview.com.au

th activities. This provides extra incentive the for trainees to take pride and ownership fo in their work. The trainees can choose between activities that interest them. While some ac enjoy cooking in the kitchen, others prefer en to garden. Creative types and those who want some quiet time can experiment w with farm art, which includes but is not w limited to mosaicking, drawing, li woodwork, and eco-dying. w Some of the trainees split their days between the farm and Compass’s d cafes. Others go out to work on the ca lawn-mowing run Rakes and Panes la initiative, which is another of Compass’s in social enterprises. so The benefits for the trainees come in a variety of ways. For many of the trainees, who come dressed in the same sort of high-vis shirts d their parents wear, the farm is their th chance to go to ‘work’ like the rest h of the population. For some, there have been health benefits. One trainee has lost 27 kilos simply because of the amount of physical activity involved in working on the farm. One parent reported that for the first time in 18 years, she had enjoyed a night of unbroken sleep because her child had slept through the night after a day working on the farm. For other trainees, the time at the farm gives them something to talk about at the dinner table at night. Sometimes farm manager Andrew Diggines sees changes that are nothing short of miraculous. He tells the story of a trainee who was meant to be helping build a fence on the farm but never once swung the hammer that was put in his hand. Nobody knew how much he was getting out of watching construction of the fence until his mother told them that he came home every night talking about the fence in detail, down to the distance between posts and wires and the number of nails.

STARS ON THE RISE
• Rakes and Panes lawnmowing run • Harvest Kitchen at the farm • Wabi Sabi gift shop at Palmwoods
Mr Diggines says the young man eventually built a fence at home He also tells another story of a young woman who was non-verbal when she started coming to the farm. She gravitated towards the animals and began to talk to them, and then progressed to talking to people. One day she told Mr Diggines that a goat was sick. The goat was found in a bad way the next day but recovered after veterinary treatment internal parasites. Mr Diggines believes everyone has a gift, and where they might fall short in some areas, they might be talented in others. The variety offered by life on the farm allows trainees to find their own niches and grow, developing knowledge, practical skills, social skills, communication skills and confidence. “People learn differently. They learn
different things and they learn in different ways,” he says. The exchange in knowledge on the farm is far from one way. Although they come to the farm to learn, and grow through growing, the trainees are also teachers. “I’ve learnt more than they have,” Mr Diggines says. As Mr Dangerfield explains, Compass trainees have much to give. “These people have the power to enrich all our lives with the magical combination of love, kindness, gratitude and acceptance. The people who receive that gift through interaction and relationship with Compass always comment on how it changes their lives for the better”. It’s amazing what you can find growing in a paddock.
Two members of the Sunshine Troupe, a Coast-based performing arts group for adults with a disability, are learning more about the performing arts through a residency at Brisbane’s La Boite Theatre. Mitch Runcie, a Compass trainee, and fellow Sunshine Trouper Allycia Staples, are currently rehearsing in Brisbane at La Boite Theatre as part of a residency they are involved with through the inclusive performance group Aha Ensemble. The ensemble is led by Daniele Constance and has members with and without disabilities. The pair has been travelling to Brisbane for five years with the group and are excited about their new project, Yolk, following a stand-out season at Brisbane Metro last year with another show, Explain Normal. Mr Runcie also works in the performing arts sector with Access Arts in Brisbane.

NEW OUTDOOR MUSIC EVENT LAUNCHED The organisers of the popular weekly Streatside Market have launched Streatside Music, a new music event that promises to bring some of the most diverse range of performers the Sunshine Coast has seen to The MET, within the new Maroochydore CBD. Streatside Market operator Andrew Sisley says the event will start on Friday, December 18 and feature food trucks, craft beer, wine and cocktails, and an unforgettable concert under the stars. “We are thrilled to announce that Australian indie-folk singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kim Churchill (pictured) will perform for two exclusive nights on December 18 and December 19.” he says. “Kim is known the world over and has performed headline shows, festivals and support acts including Glastonbury, Splendour in the Grass, Byron Bay Blues Fest, Falls Festival and Montreal Jazz festival.” For tickets, visit tickettailor.com/events/streatsidemusic.
The Sunshine Coast community can have their say on proposed rail and commuter parking improvements as part of the jointly funded $550-million Beerburrum to Nambour Rail (B2N) upgrade, expected to benefit 333 local jobs. Expressions of interest have been launched for locals to join a community reference group, while consultation has been launched on proposed park‘n’ride expansions at Beerburrum, Landsborough and Nambour. “This will divert commuters off the Bruce Highway, which in turn will improve traffic flow,” Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack says.
MEET THE ANIMALS
MT COOLUM PROVIDES ALTERNATIVE EVEREST
Yabbaloumba Retreat is throwing open their gates for the inaugural Farm Day on Saturday, October 3 so families can get a taste of the country, feed the animals, tour the farm and more. The 200-acre property at Cambroon, near Kenilworth, is a working farm with a wide range of animals including lambs, geese, goats, a horse, cows, pigs and alpacas. The Farm Day will be open from 9am to 3pm. You will be able to visit and feed the animals and there will be lamb bottle feeds at 11am and 2pm and farm cart tours throughout the day. Visit yabbaloumbaretreat.com.au.
Sunshine Coast trekkers, led by Gary McKitterick-Gillett will climb Mount Coolum 42 times between October 12 and 16, accumulating a total of 8858 metres, or the height of Mount Everest. The team was due to tackle Everest this month to raise money for Parkinson’s disease through the Shake It Up Australia Foundation. “The Sunshine Coast has over 2000 people and Australia over 100,000 with Parkinson’s disease, so our efforts will hopefully make their lives better,” Mr McKitterick-Gillett says.

HUDSON’S BID TO WIN A HARLEY FOR HIS DAD
The financial impact the University of the Sunshine Coast is having on its communities has been highlighted in a new report. The Economic Impact of the Regional Universities Network report uses data from 2018 showing USC contributed $199 million that year to the combined real gross domestic product of its various regions from north of Brisbane to the Fraser Coast. Here alone, USC contributed $174 million to the region’s real GDP. The report shows the Sunshine Coast, Caboolture, Gympie and Fraser Coast campuses delivered $155 million in student expenditure, $287 million in university expenditure and $49 million in university research value.
BEAUTIFUL BOOKS DONATED A Sunshine Coast dad is the lucky winner of an iconic HarleyDavidson Iron 833 after he won a competition through Tommy Gun’s Original Barbershop. To enter, customers wrote to Tommy Gun’s describing why their dad deserved to win in 50 words or less. Entering at Tommy Gun’s Sunshine Plaza, Hudson Chase believed his dad, Kai, to be extremely deserving and knew the thrill his dad would get if he won. “In 2015 my dad was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma (cancer) and all he talked about was getting a Harley when he gets better,” Hudson’s entry reads. “He has been in remission for four years now and still hasn’t been able to get his Harley as he has been rebuilding our life.” Mr Chase was surprised in store with the prize after being tricked into going in for a free haircut.
Several primary and secondary schools across the region have been gifted a copy of the Magic of Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve. The books’s editor, the late Dr Les Hall, captures the magic with this visually stunning book, blending his passion for fine art, science and nature. The book is a tribute to Dr Hall’s life and the natural world, telling its story from a collaboration of dreamers, naturalists, artists, writers and scientists and takes the reader on a trip through Mary Cairncross rainforest. The donation of the 23 books from Friends of Mary Cairncross was made possible thanks to a Sunshine Coast Council grant.
MOVING IN TO A BRAND NEW HOME A local soccer club has a new home after the Sunshine Coast’s newest sports park officially opened in Palmview’s Harmony estate. This the first of the two phases of Harmony’s District Sports Park, which spans across eight hectares and includes three multi-use sport fields and a community clubhouse for residents, the wider community and local sporting clubs to use. Chancellor Park Soccer Club president Anthony Johnston says the club and its players are excited to be relocating to their new home at Harmony’s District Sports Park.

DON’T PUT OFF A MAMMOGRAM, SAYS COOLUM MUM October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Rene Neitz shares her story on how early detection saved her life.
F
or Rene Neitz, being told she had breast cancer at just 43 was shocking and unimaginable. “It was very scary to think I had this little thing growing in my body and there were no signs presenting to me that it was happening,” Ms Neitz says. In February, the mum-of-two was asked by her GP if she had been for a mammogram because she was “of the age”, being over 40. “I got back to work and told my work buddy that I was told I should go for a mammogram and shrugged it off, but this little guardian angel friend of mine said she had to book hers in so we booked them in at the same time.” The Coolum resident went for her mammogram and within two weeks was called back for further testing after an abnormal mass was found on her chest wall. Following further mammograms, ultrasounds and a biopsy, Ms Neitz – who had no family history of breast cancer – was diagnosed with stage one hormone positive breast cancer. “We lost my husband’s mum to breast cancer and we never imagined it would
touch our family again,’’ she says. The 1.6-centimetre growth was removed as well as four lymph nodes – all while the COVID pandemic was at its peak. “I’ve gone from being a healthy person who very rarely even takes Panadol, to someone who is on a daily cancer drug and monthly hormone blocking injections. This was followed by four weeks of radiation treatment to my breast at the Adem Crosby Centre at the
Sunshine Coast University Hospital. “Everyone in that centre is amazing, from the reception staff to the nurses and the radiation therapists. “Daily treatment for cancer was overwhelming, but I found myself relaxed and calm from their kindness. We’re very lucky here on the Sunshine Coast to have somewhere so close to home that we can go for treatment and not have to have the added stress of travel.”
Despite biopsy results showing Ms Neitz had an aggressive tumour (grade three), her prognosis was positive. “A cancer diagnosis changes your whole life. I now live with constant fear it’s going to come back and how will I know if it does, because I didn’t know the first time. “I try not to think and dwell on where I could be now if I hadn’t gone for that mammogram when I did, but sometimes it pops into my thoughts and the fear and anxiety is real.” October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Ms Neitz hopes sharing her story will create awareness for women from the age of 40 to go and get checked. “It’s really important that we spread the word that we check our breasts monthly if not daily and that we go for a breast screen every two years, particularly once we turn 50 – any tests that are recommended when we reach the age. “The testing may be uncomfortable but the fear and pain of what could happen if we leave them unchecked far outweighs the small amount of discomfort that comes from having the tests done.”

Discover Flinders Limited Places Available for 2021
QUEENSLAND-FIRST FOR BREAST CANCER PATIENTS Sunshine Coast women now have access to Queensland’s first state-of-the-art Lighting and Sensory Distraction Suites for regular and follow-up breast screens. Wishlist funded $25,000 towards sensory lighting and images projected on walls and ceilings within the suites at Nambour Hospital. The projected artwork aims to make a more comfortable breast screen experience for women. BreastScreen Sunshine Coast’s medical director Dr Alison Roper says women put off having a mammogram because they think the experience might be unpleasant. “We want women to have a more agreeable experience because it is so important women have a regular breast screen every two years,” Dr Roper says. “If a cancer can be found in its early stages, it gives a woman more treatment options and significantly increases the
chances of the treatment being successful.” The new lighting and sensory distraction suites assist in calming and distracting women during assessment procedures. Wishlist CEO Lisa Rowe says Wishlist has also recently placed an order for a lateral arm accessory for breast biopsy patients at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, worth $15,000. “I have been told this equipment will improve lesion access, improve patient comfort and biopsy efficiency on breast cancer patients,” Ms Rowe says. Only 56 per cent of women aged 50 to 74 on the Sunshine Coast have a regular breast screen every two years. It is hoped that due to the new therapeutic suites, this will increase to meet the national accreditation standard of 70 per cent. To make an appointment for a free breast screen call 13 20 50 or visit breastscreen.qld.gov.au.

At IFYS Foster Care we know that belonging is fundamental to the human experience and we all have an essential need to be loved, cared for and to belong.As humans, we need to belong. To one another, to our friends and families, to our culture and country, to our world. Belonging is primal, fundamental to our sense of happiness and well-being. When a child is brought into care they can be confused, scared and unsure of what the future holds; they can feel that they don’t belong. At IFYS Foster Care we acknowledge that children and young people need to belong, they need to feel that they really matter to somebody, somewhere. A connection with at least one caring adult can make a huge difference in the life of a child or young person. In the words of Rita Pierson - Every child deserves a champion - an adult who never gives up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.

IS THREE A CROWD?
I no longer have children at school, but I am always keen to read about education and what the next generation is learning. Your education feature (MWP, September 24) proved to me that we all have a very bright future. Each of the articles pointed to a syllabus that included more than just learning reading, writing or arithmetic. It showed that kindness, thoughtfulness and engagement between student and teacher are an important part of the current education system. I had none of this in my school days and it is wonderful to see value given to the things that will make a better world for everyone. Dorothy, Bli Bli
In Australia, we have federal, state, and local governing bodies. Three levels of government – seriously, do we need this many for one small island nation? Would it not be better to have to have just federal and local levels of government? During COVID, there seems to be a lot arguments between who should take responsibility for what between state and federal politicians. The other thing is cost. We have a very different post-COVID economy. Can the taxpayer really afford to pay for all these politicians? I often think about this. Does anyone else have any thoughts about this? Brian, Wurtulla
KEEP IT CALM
Photo of the week
I was interested to read (MWP, September 24) of the Mooloolaba Foreshore Revitalisation plan. Mooloolaba was perfect, is perfect and this plan sounds like it will make it super-perfect. It will provide a lot of jobs and probably achieve one aspects of its aim, that is to stimulate the local economy. For all of that, I do hope that planning will consider the school holidays – there is nothing worse than the sound of machinery competing with the sounds of waves in summertime.

SUNSHINE COAST POLICE WARN OF QPS PHONE NUMBER SCAM Local police are warning residents about a scam using a Queensland Police Service (QPS) phone number to legitimise a government or Australian Taxation Office (ATO) impersonation scam. In this instance, the criminals are using a practice known as caller ID spoofing, where they inappropriately manipulate the telephone network to indicate the incoming call is from a different number (in this case, a QPS number). The scam starts when the criminal calls the victim and impersonates a government department. They advise the victim that they have an outstanding fine or fee with them (for example, the ATO). While this type of scam has been doing the rounds for some time, police are concerned this version of the scam has an additional layer which may result in more members of the community falling victim. The second part of the scam involves the criminal calling the victim from what appears to be a trusted or well-known government phone number and impersonating an employee from the organisation (in this case, a police officer)
to legitimise the scam. The criminal posing as a police officer threatens you with arrest or states they will commence legal action before demanding payment. Queensland police officers will never: Contact you to ask for your Personal Identification Number (PIN) or bank details; to transfer money out of your account; withdraw cash to hand over to them; send someone to your home to collect cash, cards or your PIN. Scams can be reported to ReportCyber. Members of the public can learn about scams at scamwatch.gov.au. If you have information contact Policelink using the online suspicious activity form 24 hours a day at police.qld.gov.au/ reporting. Report crime anonymously to Crime Stoppers via crimestoppersqld.com.au 24 hours a day.

PROFILE
The happy place
A
nnie Grossman is well known across the Sunshine Coast as the owner of Annie’s Books on Peregian, a quaint beachfront bookstore that has been pleasing bookloving locals and visitors for 12 years. It is everything an independent bookstore should be. Inviting, friendly, stocked with bestsellers as well as rare gems, and the kind of place adults and children alike feel comfortable to linger and have a chat. Ms Grossman’s passion for the printed word is legendary. Perhaps less well known is that she is a former opera singer and has a rockstar brother, Rick Grossman, of Divinyls and Hoodoo Gurus fame. Born in Sydney, she says she had a blessed childhood with parents who encouraged her love of literature from a young age.

October 3 is Love Your Bookshop Day and to celebrate, we’re speaking with esteemed bookseller Annie Grossman of Annie’s Books on Peregian. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.
“Both my parents were big readers,” she says. “My brother and I were given open slather. Nothing was inappropriate in our house as far as reading went. It gave me a pretty high bar. I won’t read rubbish.” Ms Grossman’s father died in 1980 and in the last years of his life, he opened a bookstore in the Blue Mountains. This, she says, may have planted a seed for her desire to be a bookseller, though it didn’t become a dream until later in life. “I’ve got a very funny background,” she says. “I worked in theatre doing stage management in Sydney for a little theatre called Q Theatre, which moved to the western suburbs of Sydney where people had never seen live theatre. It was quite highly respected and I shared a house with Judy Davis for a little while when she was in
the company. My brother Rick has had a life in the music industry and we’re both classically trained. I had the idea of singing opera and he played violin and cello. I studied opera for some years but when I moved to Airlie Beach I stopped.” Ms Grossman says she’s immensely proud of her brother and if she ever decided to write a book, it would be about him. A former heroin addict, he kicked his addiction and now helps others in the music industry deal with addiction. “He’s a bit of a saint, my brother,” she says. “We’re both very grateful for where we came from and the influences we had growing up. I try to push him to write his life story. He’s quite a modest person but he came through the music with all the big names.” Ms Grossman’s introduction to the book trade came when she moved to Noosa in the 1990s, working at Written Dimension bookshop for 10 years. “I was always the book detective,” she says. “I would go searching for rare books. I also started to run the events and that was great fun. My manager there was Rachel, who works with me now. She taught me everything I know. She’s a great bookseller and has a great mind for the back-room stuff of bookselling. That’s not my forte. I’m better out on the floor. We had about 15 staff on rotation there and in my store we have just three of us. “We’re pretty good at curating books – we’re better than Amazon,” she laughs. “We’ve got to know our community. If something comes in and we think, oh so-and-so would really love that, we’ll ring them. We know our community. The shop is a hub for people getting together… We have wonderful conversations all day long in there about books and life in general. Ms Grossman acknowledges the internet has changed the bookselling
industry, but believes there will always be an appetite for independent bookstores. “We try to give people an experience,” she says. “We’ve got a lot of knowledge between the three of us. We’ve all read all our lives. I am genuinely passionate about books and reading. It’s like oxygen to me.” Ms Grossman has lived in Peregian for 25 years and is a much-loved member of the community. When she lost her partner Ben in August last year after a three-month cancer battle, the community embraced her. “Peregian is an amazing community,” she says. “Fortunately, I have the bookstore, which is a very large part of my life. My kids are in Melbourne and Auckland so they’re not a daily part of my life and my mother is 94 and in Sydney. The majority of my social life is the bookstore. I have made some great friends. “Even when I’m at home and I think, oh, I don’t really feel like it today, within 10 minutes of being there, I’m in my real happy place. It’s interesting every day and the books are still so exciting. “I’m very optimistic on the future of the book. I think bookshops will exist for a long time. God forbid bookstores ever die. COVID has been really great for the book trade; people are reading more. We have actually been given a big boost and I’m very grateful. It’s like I’m being smiled down upon.”

We’re extending the JobKeeper Payment until 28 March 2021. The Australian Government is extending the temporary JobKeeper Payment to the end of March 2021. From 28 September, businesses must meet the turnover test and submit their declarations by the 14th of each month. There will be two new payment rates – one for those who work more than 20 hours per week in the relevant period, and another for those who work less. The employee eligibility date has also changed to 1 July, meaning some businesses could claim for more staff. It’s part of our plan to keep business in business, and Australians in jobs.

MY OPINION
JUST ADD WATER
RBG’S LEGACY LIVES ON
Sami Muirhead has obtained her boat and jet ski licences and is already planning outfits befitting her new status.
Business leader Jeanette Allom-Hill says Ruth Bader Ginsburg showed the world not only how to lead, but how to live a meaningful life.
A
hoy there, sailors! I have finally done something constructive that does not involve eating salt and vinegar chips and binge watching rubbish TV shows. My husband and I passed our boat and jet ski licence exams this week. Yep. Call me captain or admiral or first mate. I will answer to pretty much all of these nautical names, because I am pretty chuffed to now be qualified to drive a boat. There is something very cool about boatie talk. And do not even get me started on the attire of boat-type people. I grew up wearing Dunlop Volley sneakers or whatever else Big W was selling that year, but all the rich teenagers wore navy decks shoes. They were so fancy. I am not sure any of the guys actually owned a boat, but their deck shoes screamed: “I think I am important and I am trying to look a good decade older than I actually am”. I think men should not wear deck shoes until they are in their forties. But we all want to look older when we are younger and we all want to look younger when we are older. Oh life, you ironic little minx! I look back at photos of me in my twenties and cringe at my bright fire engine red power suits I wore as a TV journalist with towering heels in an attempt to look the part and try and bluff
people I was an adult and knew what the heck I was doing. But the scary thing is, I thought I did know what I was doing back then and never questioned myself, whereas now I am heading towards 50, I realise I have no idea whatsoever as to how I am playing this game called life and question myself about a hundred times a day. Anyway, back to our boat and jet ski licences. We had to complete four hours of online exams. That was a hard slog, let me tell you. All the lingo about cardinal markers and no red port left (that means port is your left side and always keep it on you left upstream) drove me to eat a lot of ice-cream. But the most difficult part for me was the practical component of the jet ski test, where I had to reverse the revving beast of a machine. The man who was sitting behind me on the same jet ski and who had control to pass or fail me said to me innocently, “Reversing a jet ski is similar to reversing a trailer”. I may have sworn. Reversing a trailer? I cannot reverse a trailer and I would have more hope of winning Lotto than ever succeeding in this goal. I failed that part of the test, but luckily I passed all the other parts. So, look out for me this summer. I will be the one on the waterways dressed in stripes, a jaunty captain’s hat and maybe even deck shoes. I just will not be reversing under any circumstances.

L
ast week we lost a leader, one who had an incredibly meaningful life. Ruth Bader Ginsburg changed the world for women. She built a career – even before her appointment to the Supreme Court of the United States – fighting tirelessly for women and gender equality. As the world honoured her life, I was drawn in and deeply touched by the quotes she has become known for: “Fight for the things you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.” I always remember one of my mentors telling me to always lead in such way that others want to follow you. The question then becomes as a leader, how do you get others to follow you? Do we follow out of fear and answer to those with the most power or the loudest voice? I believe that most leaders spend too much time trying to be the captain of someone else’s boat and instead need to be a lighthouse that allows the boats to find their way. The face of leadership is changing and the traits we admire and will follow are now more about an ability to build trust, speak the truth, be authentic and allow others to navigate their own boat as you shine a light on the safest and best path for them. This type of trust must be earned. Maybe it is gained by doing something outside yourself, something for someone else? Ruth Bader Ginsburg said: “If you want to be a true professional, you will do
something outside yourself, something to repair tears in your community, something to make life better for people less fortunate than you. That’s what I think a meaningful life is – living not for oneself, but for one’s community.” She was a champion and a fighter, not only for women’s rights, but all rights. We have an obligation to allow others to be the best they can be. This means living a life that does not tear others down to raise yourself up, but looking for the good and helping others shine. As leaders and as part of a connected community, it is our responsibility to look deep into the people around us, take time to understand who they are, what they want from their lives and discover how we can help them succeed. This year has been incredibly challenging for all businesses and now more than ever, we should be fighting for the Sunshine Coast community we care about, as leaders that are respected so others are able to follow. We need to connect, collaborate, and create with each other and live not just for ourselves, but for this community and this place we are so grateful to call our home. As we mourn this legendary woman, we must also make sure that our gloves are ready, so that we can put them on and fight together for the meaningful life we all deserve.

ALLIANCE AVIATION
R
ecently, Alliance Aviation started flying out of the Sunshine Coast Airport and it is an opportune time to provide readers with a company update. Alliance Aviation Services posted a good result for fiscal 2020, with the highlight being a strong jump in contribution from the contract and charter segments. The second half of the fiscal year was very strong – a record result – and it appears momentum is continuing into fiscal 2021, on the back of a strong uptake in new clients in the final quarter of fiscal 2020. Alliance reported operating earnings of $79 million for the full year, marginally ahead of our $78.4 million estimate. Meanwhile, profit before tax was $41.2 million versus our forecast of $40.5 million. We note second-half profit before tax in
fiscal 2020 equated to $25.1 million, which compares favourably with our revised fiscal 2021 estimate of $44.1 million. Alliance currently operates a fleet of 24 Fokker F100, 13 Fokker 70LR jet aircraft and five Fokker 50 turboprops, with an additional three aircraft in storage and available for entry into the fleet. In early August, however, Alliance unveiled a significant fleet expansion, with the purchase of 14 Embraer E190 jet aircraft and associated equipment. The aircraft will be delivered progressively over eight months from September this year. The expansion will be funded with the proceeds from Alliance’s $120 million capital raising in June at $2.95 a share. The company’s focus on contract flying and its diversified revenue stream have ensured profitability during times when other airlines have suffered. Alliance has also seen an increase in requests for additional services from existing and new customers over the COVID-19 period. The company expects contract revenue to continue to increase, including from some short-term charter clients expected to convert to longer-term contracts. The outlook for Alliance is positive, owing to an underlying shift in the domestic aviation market towards charter and contract-based services. Other sources of earnings upside include the following:

Any improvement in wet leasing, (where Alliance provides not just the aircraft but also a crew and maintenance) – most notably if former client Virgin resumes such operations. Faster deployment of the new Embraer craft; and Structural changes in regional routes in Western Australia and Queensland which should benefit Alliance.

Sunshine Coast Airport has joined forces with the Queensland Government, Alliance Airlines and Canberra Airport to launch a new service to Australia’s capital for the first time ever. Tourism Minister Kate Jones says the deal – secured through the government’s $15-million Aviation Recovery Fund – would pump hundreds of thousands of dollars into local businesses. From October 23, Alliance Airlines will provide two services a week between the Sunshine Coast and Canberra. Ms Jones says: “That’s two brand-new services Sunshine Coast Airport has been able to attract thanks to support from the Queensland Government’s $15-million Aviation Recovery Fund. Ms Jones comments that the aviation recovery fund has supported nine services which are estimated to deliver more than $35-million for our economy and support more than 300 jobs. Sunshine Coast Airport chief executive officer Andrew Brodie says the new destination means the airport will now service the national capital for the first time ever, delivering up to 1600 seats a month.

THE HEALING POWER OF MUSIC Studies show music can help create better outcomes in surgery, improve brain health and assist with exercise, mobility and sleep.
T
he current situation is definitely causing stress, uncertainty and cabin fever. Added to that, we know that stress lowers your immunity. Music can lower your heart rate, your blood pressure and your level of the stress hormone cortisol. Here’s how music helped patients with surgery, another stressful event. In a study with patients undergoing cataract surgery in the US, half of the group were given their preferred music to listen to through headphones before, during and after their surgery. Others had no music. Before the surgery, both groups had similar blood pressure and both had increased heart rates just prior to the surgery. During surgery, the group with music had lower blood pressure and this
was maintained in the recovery room. Those without music had higher blood pressure throughout the time. Medical research shows more ways that music can assist you and your loved ones in these challenging months. Pain relief: In a study reported by the Harvard Medical School, 80 patients had urinary tract surgery with a spinal anaesthetic. All patients could top up this pain relief with a hand held device. Those who were listening to music during surgery used less top-up medication. The music was calming and was also a buffer to the noise in the busy operating room. Reach for the CD player to aid your pain relief at home. Better brain health: According to the Mayo Clinic, people with dementia can
benefit from singing songs or listening to music. It can improve their mood and reduce agitation. The part of the brain responsible for storing musical memories is often less affected by dementia. Singing and moving in time with music will help an individual maintain language and mobility. Music with strong rhythms has been shown to increase blood flow to various parts of the brain. Different music will achieve different things. Use soothing music to help someone stay calm during an activity that is usually stressful for them. Use familiar upbeat songs to tap into music memories. Improved balance: Moving to music, whether it’s slow stretching, a waltz or seniors’ ballet, leads to better balance. A Swiss study with 134 seniors who were at
risk of falling was undertaken in 2010. One group was given a one-hour lesson each week in moving to music and the other group maintained their usual activities. After six months, the dancers showed improved gait and balance. They also had 54 per cent fewer falls. Knowing where your body is in space is essential as you age. Regular exercise to music can reduce your risk of falls. It will build your muscles, help you stay mobile and increase your blood flow. Better balance boosts your confidence too. An aerobic alternative: If you are not able to do aerobic exercise due to mobility limitations, here’s another option. In a small study, scientists tested the blood flow of subjects across different conditions. They listened to a variety of music or relaxation tapes or watched amusing videos. Uplifting joyful music resulted in a 26 per cent increase in blood flow. This was a similar to the levels achieved with aerobic exercise. It outstripped the comedy videos with 19 per cent and the relaxation tapes with 11 per cent blood flow increases. Enhanced sleep: The Sleep Foundation says that listening to 45 minutes of music at bedtime can help you fall asleep faster, sleep longer and wake during the night less often. This works because well-chosen music lowers your heart rate and breathing. It can also relax your muscles. These changes are similar to what your body does when you fall asleep, so music primes you for sleeping. The positive effects on your sleep will build over time, so listening to music at bedtime is a habit worth building and sticking to for the long-term.

FREE SUPPORT TO BREAST CANCER PATIENTS
T
his Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Sunshine Coast Haematology and Oncology Clinic (SCHOC) is celebrating their resident McGrath breast care nurse, Cathy Apelt. Ms Apelt has been a McGrath Breast
Care Nurse since 2012, and a registered nurse since 1977. She provides physical, emotional and psycho-social support to local people with breast cancer and their families. “Breast cancer can be a challenging time for both the patient and their family,” said Ms Apelt. “I’m passionate about providing individualised care for each of my patients, discussing their concerns and questions and ensuring they are empowered to make decisions about their treatment. There are currently 151 McGrath breast care nurses in communities across Australia, who since 2005 have supported almost 90,000 people with breast cancer and their families. This support is available for free and without a doctor’s referral. McGrath breast care nurses support patients in many ways, including providing medical support, acting as a point of contact between a patient and their medical team, and decoding medical jargon. Research shows that early access to a breast care nurse within the first week of diagnosis improves the experience and
outcomes of a person with breast cancer. Treatment for breast cancer is never one size fits all, so Ms Apelt constantly has to adapt. “What people need during their experience with breast cancer is highly individual. If I can instil at the beginning everything is up for discussion – whether it is your relationship or family or
“I’m passionate about providing individualised care for each of my patients” information about the risks and benefits of chemo or sexuality – then I feel I have done my job well,” she says. During the height of COVID-19, Ms Apelt continued to offer Telehealth to her patients. “Many patients experienced a sense of anxiety at the height of COVID-19,” she says. “Telehealth allowed me to provide
some support and ease the concerns of a lot of my patients.” Since infection rates of COVID-19 have dropped, Ms Apelt is able to see patients in-person at SCHOC but still follows social distancing guidelines. “There’s nothing to fear by coming into the clinic and seeing your medical professionals. It’s crucial to be up-to-date on your health checks,” she says. “This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re encouraging everyone to ensure they’re up-to-date on their breast checks and to make their breast health a priority. “It’s important for men and women to understand what their chests look and feel like normally, so they notice any changes or abnormalities. If you do notice anything unusual, make an appointment to see your GP. It might be nothing, but it also might just save your life.” People with breast cancer on the Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas do not need to be a patient of SCHOC to receive the care of a McGrath breast care nurse for free. Instead they can reach out directly to Ms Apelt on cathy.apelt@schoc. com or 0419 941 249.

OPTIMISING QUALITY OF LIFE DURING AND AFTER BREAST CANCER
I
n 2020, it is estimated that there will be 19,974 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed in Australia. This is a sobering statistic, however, the five-year survival rate for breast cancer is now 91 per cent and the 10-year survival rate is 83 per cent. In fact, Australia has one of the best survival rates from breast cancer in the world. What does this mean? It means we have a lot of survivors out there. This statement may be factual, but what is the hidden truth behind this story? Due to the significant and numerous side effects of breast cancer treatment, quality of life for survivors can sometimes be worse than prior to their breast cancer diagnosis. And what is the point in beating breast cancer, if your quality of life is worse than before diagnosis? When a person is diagnosed with breast cancer, they usually undergo any combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and anti-hormone therapy. The side effects of these treatments can significantly impact quality of life. But who can help reduce the impact of these side effects? Your medical team (surgeons and

oncologists) can save and extend your life. But it is the allied health team who will help optimise your life during and after breast cancer. Allied health professionals can include physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, psychologists, counsellors, and dietitians to name a few. Jen McKenzie (pictured) is a lymphoedema physiotherapist and exercise physiologist who specialises in looking after women following a breast cancer diagnosis.
“Every single week I treat 40 to 50 women who are either going through or following breast cancer. Historically, physiotherapists have assisted patients with lymphoedema (a side effect of breast cancer treatment due to lymph node removal), but our role is much bigger than just lymphoedema”. Every day in her private practice, the McKenzie Clinic, Ms McKenzie treats women with physical issues caused by side
effects of breast cancer: restricted shoulder range of movement, scar tissue pain, breast pain from radiation scarring, cording, lymphoedema, fatigue, muscle weakness and osteoporosis. “There are so many issues that physiotherapists can prevent or reduce the impact of during and after breast cancer. We need a standard referral pathway to physiotherapy for anyone diagnosed with breast cancer – so that the side effects have less of an impact during and after treatment. Anyone diagnosed with breast cancer deserves to be empowered through current education and treatment techniques – and this includes referral to a physiotherapist who specialises in breast cancer.” Ms McKenzie has just launched her new website and more importantly her YouTube Channel: The Breast Cancer Physio – a dedicated channel providing free education tutorials to people who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

reast cancer. The words that no lady ever wants to hear but unfortunately so many do. The good news is, survival rates are improving due to better screening procedures, community awareness and medical advances. Many breast cancer survivors choose the reconstruction path, but for those who don’t, there’s no reason why you can’t look and feel beautiful in your own clothes again. If you’ve had a mastectomy, you’ll be interested to know that there are literally dozens of breast form shapes, weights and sizes to choose from that will match as closely to your remaining breast as possible at your first fitting, which will occur around six weeks post op. For ladies who have had a bilateral mastectomy, picking the breast size you’ve always wanted to be is now an option. There are also breast forms that can be used while swimming or exercising, so your lifestyle doesn’t have to change post-mastectomy. Clothing such as lingerie, swimwear, sportswear and casual wear have also gone ahead in leaps and bounds in terms of support, style and comfort. Gone are the days where a mastectomy patient has to settle for second best in a poorly fitted bra or swimsuit. No more frumpy lingerie. The other good news is that the federal government will cover the cost of your breast from up to $400, per breast every two years for the rest of your life. Many private health funds also cover the cost of post-mastectomy apparel, so it’s

Tea, coffee and water will be served in disposable cups for the time being. If you would prefer a home visit they are happy to come to you. This is a free service.
Here are some tips from author and weight loss mentor Annette Sym. 1. Write a food diary for the next seven days. Weigh and measure your portions and record it. Inactive women who have less than 20 kilos to lose should have around 30 grams of fat a day and 12501300 calories. For inactive men, it’s around 40 grams of fat and 1500 to 1550 calories a day. 2. Clean out the pantry and fridge. Remove any foods that are likely to tempt you in a moment of weakness. 3. Don’t eat from a bag. 4. Beware – you can overeat healthy food. Women only need around two serves of fruit a day and three for men. 5. Be realistic – not every day will be perfect. 6. Stay active – Do online workouts or go for a daily walk. 7. Avoid weighing yourself every day. Once a week or once a month is enough. 8. Forget trying crazy fad diets. 9. Don’t starve yourself to lose weight. This can be dangerous and may cause binge eating and yo-yo dieting. 10. Everything in moderation is the key to weight loss success.

The ageing process: how it alters our faces
Treatments for back and neck pain
How to unleash your true potential
A gracefully ageing face is a beautiful thing. However, there are many ways our face changes over time. In our thirties, the fat pads (which are responsible for a youthful, plump look in our face), begin to separate and deplete. The fat pads also start to descend and rest on ligaments, which causes deeper folds to appear. Our bone structure also starts to change, which can lead to a lack of shape in the face. When you look in the mirror, do you do you see visible signs of ageing such as creases around your mouth or sagging skin around your jaw line? The best solution for these common ageing problems is hyaluronic acid fillers. They help by restoring volume, lifting tissue, softening deep creases and restoring a more youthful shape face. Because the ageing process starts in your thirties, commencing injectable treatments early will help to prevent visible signs of ageing. Cosmetic enhancements are as much about prevention as they is about restoration. Contact Medwell today for a complimentary consultation on how we can work with you to create a plan that will help you to age beautifully and gracefully.
Back and neck pain symptoms can occur more frequently as we age and usually settle with time. Simple painkillers, physiotherapy and following the advice of your general practitioner is often all that is needed to allow the body to recover naturally. Back and neck discomfort can sometimes progress to more serious problems and cause pain, pins and needles, burning and weakness in the arm or leg. This can be a sign of nerve compression and thorough examination by your healthcare professional followed by a CT scan or MRI scan can often pinpoint the problem. More specific therapies such as injections can then be considered. For patients who don’t recover spontaneously, prompt referral to a neurosurgeon to discuss nerve decompression can be undertaken. Modern, minimally invasive, surgical techniques often allow for patients to get out of bed and walk the same day, and most patients can be discharged home after one or two nights in hospital. Understanding the risks and benefits of all the above treatments helps to ensure the best outcome for patients.
Only when we improve our selfdiscipline and the consistency with which we do things do we start to realise our true potential. Dedication and self-discipline go hand in hand and it is this combination that drives us to achieve new heights. When you start to play the long game, you will raise your standards to higher levels. I was never gifted academically. I was just driven in life with a will to never give up. Hard work with consistency will beat genetics every day. You must also have endless belief in yourself. One of the biggest lessons I have learnt is that not being academically brilliant at school did not define me. I had to find my place in the world. I needed to find my purpose, understand what I stood for and what my strengths were. Once I discovered this, my whole life changed. Do not ever feel you cannot achieve the things you dream of. You can, but you must keep searching to find your purpose and to never, ever quit!

Warren Blee OAM. Consultant Chemist As we get older, we seem to slow up physically and mentally, but is it always just the ageing process? The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that when people do not get their normal regular exercise, they may quickly lose mobility, increase the likelihood of having falls and begin to show signs of frailty. Older people with a slower gait also have a tendency to mental and cognitive decline. A simple test you can do yourself is to time how long it takes to stand up from your chair, walk three metres, turn around, return to the chair and sit down. Normally, this can be done comfortably within 10 seconds. Even a small amount of exercise each day helps stave off having falls and a decline in mobility. While lack of exercise may be a problem, other factors such as declining kidney function mean that medicines are often not cleared as quickly from the body, so even though your dose and frequency of a medicine have not changed you may be experiencing a build up of a medicine in your body. Added medicines either regularly or when required may also have sedative effects or create loss of energy, loss of appetite and confusion or dizziness. Some sleeping tablets that used to give you a good night’s sleep may now leave you feeling groggy or lethargic the next day. Medicines to treat pain, depression, antihistamines, antiepileptics, migraine and Parkinsonism may also have similar effects. Every time another medicine is added to your list there is the potential to have a disproportionately large effect on older people (i.e. 65 years and older). Also, some medicines are designed to be used for short periods of time (one to 12 weeks), but for a number of reasons patients are often found to be taking them for much longer. To help avoid problems older Australians should ask about having a home medicines review by an accredited consultant pharmacist at least once every two years, and should be in contact with your general practitioner at least four times a year unless your GP is happy for a longer interval.

There’s a challenging square between Pluto and retrograde Mars, so do your best to avoid online arguments and run-ins with authority figures. If you are the person in charge, resist the urge to be bossy and over-bearing with others.
This week, Mercury (your patron planet) is at odds with disruptive Uranus, and then Pluto squares Mars. The more unpredictable, unreliable and demanding others are, the more you will shift into fussy, finicky, obsessive mode.
The retrograde Mars-Pluto square stymies motivation and slows progress (especially involving a romantic relationship, joint venture or domestic matter). Uranus also stirs things up with friendships or finances, so expect the unexpected!
Retrograde Mars squares powerful Pluto (your ruler) on Friday, which boosts your temperamental streak and your control-freak tendencies. You may feel like you’re stuck in a rut. The more stubborn you are, the more challenging the week will be.

It will be very easy to say the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time, but making controversial comments will land you in hot water. Think things through and choose your words wisely. And expect some rather surprising disruptions to your routine.
There could be cross words between you and a family member, as you seem to be heading in different directions. Remember the good times you’ve had together and look for some common ground. Things will look a lot brighter in the morning.
This week, with the planets illuminating your solitude/soul zone, you need to slow down and look within as you contemplate, meditate or ruminate. Negotiation planet Venus also encourages you to hold out the olive branch of peace.
This week, retro Mars slows things down and increases frustrations. But then lucky Venus swoops in and encourages you to pair up with a loved one and make your combined dreams come true. You’ll need to be patient though, Pisces!

CURVES ahead Don’t be a square, man. The popularity of curved shapes have come and gone in interior design, but they are definitely coming back for 2021. Sinewy shapes add serious design punch to your project, so think about how you can add curves inside nd outside the home. Here are a few ideas. ideas and
OUT OF SIGHT Let’s face it, it’s a bold design choice to install a round window in a home, but done well, it’s a choice you won’t regret. This round window works well because it’s not so large that it overwhelms the room, but not so small that it looks like a ship’s portal.
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN Not only are curved staircases a great space-saving inclusion in your home, but they also provide an opportunity to add a unique design feature in your next project. This staircase really pops thanks to a humble tin of yellow paint.
SOFT TOUCH When in doubt, buy new cushions. Round cushions are easy to find and are a great way to dip your toe into this design trend. This mustard velvet novelty cushion is from Adairs.
LOOKING GOOD Whether it’s a mirror in the bathroom, bedroom or hallway, opt for a simple circle to get some curve appeal.

COVER STORY desk and give the room or office space a good clean. Take a look at your furniture – is it time for a new desk or office chair, or some new storage? If you don’t need new furniture, take a look at the placement of your desk. Maybe moving things around will breathe new life into the space. Paint a feature wall or add some chalkboard paint to part of the wall where you can keep your lists or add inspirational quotes. Then it’s time to upgrade your desk accessories, add a new potted plant and invest in a new lamp.
TAKE BACK THE SPARE ROOM Got a spare room? Well it’s your home office now. When setting up your home office, the first thing to do is make a list of what you need in your home office – desk and chair, perhaps an extra chair or two for meetings, storage and shelving. Then start planning. Measure up the room and create a floorplan. Think about the placement of the desk so that it benefits from natural light. There are apps and online tools that can help you with room layout. It’s also a good idea to pull the desk away from the wall so that you sit with your back to the wall. This kind of placement also emphasises the desk and makes it clear what the room’s purpose is.
Give your Concrete a Colour It Australia Makeover
WORKING WITH SMALL SPACES If you don’t have the luxury of a dedicated room for your office, take a look around your home for an area that you could commandeer for a home office – perhaps a corner of the kitchen, that nook off the hallway, the space under the stairs or the first-floor landing. Choose a quiet area away from the TV or high-traffic areas if you’ll be working when the family is at home. Then it’s a matter of zoning the space – a simple rug, clever placement of a small set of bookshelves or a concertina room divider all work to create zones. Choose spacesaving furniture – a compact desk, a smaller (but comfortable chair) and compact storage. If space is tight, instead of bookshelves and cabinets, install shelving to hold your documents and paperwork. Choose an armless office chair which you can slide under the desk when you’re not working.
Need a new lamp? Go for something simple and timeless, like this Home Republic Luca lamp from Adairs.

COVER STORY
This very cool garden office is by Adelaide modular builders Inoutside
A COMPLETE OVERHAUL There are lots of builders now who specialise in granny flats and tiny houses, such as local builders Little Digs. But these smaller dwellings can also be used as home offices. Many homeowners are thinking outside the square when creating an office that’s completely separate to the main house. If you already have a separate dwelling, such as a garden shed, think about how that can be converted into a home office. The first thing you’ll need is council approval, so get that sorted before you start. If you are building from scratch, think about the location and the amount of sun and light the office will
get. Is privacy important? What about convenience to the house? A freestanding office is an investment, so your office might also need to do double duty as visitor accommodation. No doubt you’ll need electricity but perhaps you’ll also want the office plumbed so you don’t have to traipse through the backyard and into the house to use the toilet or make a cuppa. Can visitors access the office or will they have to go through the house? There are loads of questions you’ll need to have the answers to before you start planning, but talking to an expert early in the process is a good idea.

BATHROOM
BATHROOM inspo for the smallest and tallest members of the family. Once you’ve marked where the mirror will sit, use timber spacers that sit on top of the vanity to rest the mirror on. Ensure you use an adequate amount of adhesive – glue or double-sided tape, and make sure your wall and back of the mirror is clean before applying the adhesive. Keep the spacers in place while the glue dries.
Choosing and hanging your bathroom mirror seems like an easy DIY job, but it can go wrong, very quickly. To hang your mirror like a professional, there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, get a friend to help. Even small mirrors can be heavy and difficult to move. When choosing where to mount the mirror, consider the height of the ceiling and vanity and any surrounding shelves – you want it to look right in the space. Also ensure that it will work

You can also choose a contrasting top to go with your vanity in natural stone or marble. This vanity is water resistant and durable, and comes with Blum soft-close drawers.

EXPERT ADVICE
Poolside restoration
T
his month we’ve had a few readers ask similar questions about pool renovations. Spring is here and the weather is warming up, and people are either looking at installing new pools or renovating their existing pools.
CASSANDRA SAYS Most existing pools can be resurfaced and renovated by a professional. Concrete pools can have a new surface finish installed, while fibreglass pools can have new coatings of fibreglass applied and liner pools can have new liners installed. If your pool is cracked or leaking, there are also professionals who inject and rectify leaks. If the interior of your pool is in good condition, perhaps it’s the surrounds that need a facelift. One thing that really ages a pool is the type of paving or tiles that are on the coping and surrounds in your pool area. One way to upgrade your pool area is to retile or repave your pool coping and surrounds in the same or a complementary tile colour and finish that matches your interior palette. Just

EXPERT ADVICE
make sure that the tile or paver you choose has the appropriate slip resistance rating for a poolside area. If you have old decking that is rotting or discoloured, perhaps you need to replace the decking boards or sand them back and give it a new coat of stain. There are a lot of alternative timber decking products available now too, such as ModWood, which is a composite
“One thing that really ages a pool is the type of paving or tiles that are on the coping” decking that requires very little maintenance and lasts a lot longer than timber. Old pool fencing is also something that can really bring down the look of your pool area. Most pool fencing can be replaced quite easily by pool fencing installers. Frameless and semi-frameless glass pool fencing is becoming more and

more affordable and it is definitely the way to go if you want to upgrade your pool area. If you can’t afford to install glass pool fencing around the full perimeter of your pool, you could just install it where your main entertaining areas are and use a less expensive powder-coated aluminium pool fence in a dark grey or black where gardens and boundaries are. These dark colours recede and can be camouflaged among planting works. Thank you for your questions this month, readers. Best of luck with your pool renovations this spring!

GROW ahead Never owned a plant in your life, or managed to keep one alive? According to horticulture group Plan Life Balance, every beginner plant owner should start off with the philodendron. This hardy plant is not only easy to grow, but it also offers beautiful foliage that will brighten up the home. It’s a tropical variety, so philodendrons like a balance of light, moisture and water. Keep it out of the harsh sun and wind, in a well-drained spot, and it will reward you for years to come.
Summer gardening tips • Mow lawns on the highest mower setting – if you cut your lawn too short it is more susceptible to weeds. • Potted plants are vulnerable to overheating so move your pots to a shadier spot, water more often and add mulch. • Got new plants? Protect them with shade cloth if they are exposed to the harsh sun to help them establish. • Add fresh mulch to garden beds. • Fertilise and boost the nutrients more often in summer. A seaweed tonic is good for plants and lawns.

Garden trend Cottage gardens aren’t just for homes in the English countryside. Unstructured, heavily planted gardens are pretty and relaxed, and look great surrounding a variety of homes. Get the look by mixing in plants of varying heights and make sure you have lots of colour from roses, pansies, violets, daisies and sweat peas, with bushy shrubs and native grasses to add texture. You don’t have to fill the whole yard – a garden bed or two will do, or fill use old metal buckets or baskets for splashes of cottage garden colour.

Can you dig it? Pool area looking tired after winter? A little greenery will help. Landscaping finishes off a pool area and can turn your pool from pleasant to perfection. Plants can provide a splash of colour, much-needed privacy and cover unsightly fences or pool filters. However, choose your plants wisely. Plants can also drop leaves, creating mess and clogging filters, and invasive roots can make plants tricky to dig up and change. Plants also need to be hardy –
near a pool they will be exposed to the harsh summer sun plus water and chemicals from the pool itself. Slow-growing bushy shrubs are a good choice, as are Australian natives, succulents and cactuses, while tropical plants like bromeliads and cordyline also look lush and can handle poolside spots. If you’re short on space, rectangular planters filled with plants can provide privacy and greenery without taking up much room.

Balancing act The team from Narellan Pools explains there are different sanitisation systems available to keep your pool healthy and safe for the warm months ahead.
A
side from having the right chemical balance in your pool’s water, which ensures your pool is healthy and safe for you and your family to swim in, today there are many options available to pool owners when deciding what is the best sanitation system and therefore water for their new swimming pool. When talking pool water
today, it could quite easily be overwhelming for a new pool owner with mineral, freshwater, salt and ionisation just a few terms that are used in the industry. The key thing to remember is while these systems all operate differently and have their own benefits, all pools are required under the health regulations to have a certain level of chlorine to keep the water clear of bacteria. Mineral pools today are becoming very popular, with a number of various products using ‘mineral’ technology. Essentially a combination of sodium salt and other salts, quite often magnesium is used to produce chlorine and therefore sanitise the pool water. With proven health benefits, swimming in a magnesium-based system is like having a beauty spa in your own backyard. The process of treating water with ionisation has been around since the early Egyptian times and uses silver and copper anodes, which the pool water passes over to disinfect the water. Pools using these types of systems (and there are many of them on the market) operate using very little salt, providing a very clear and fresh-feeling water. Regardless of the type of pool water you choose, there is some regular testing of the water required to ensure the water quality and to help protect your pool equipment. Some things to check regularly are:

Total alkalinity (TA) TA measures, in parts per million (ppm), the number of important balancing chemicals in the pool water. The total alkalinity measures the levels of hydroxides, carbonates and bicarbonates, all of which are required for a healthy and well-balanced pool. Keeping the TA level within the desired range is a balancing act with buffer agents used to raise the TA and acid to lower it. Calcium hardness Calcium hardness is the level of calcium dissolved in the pool water. Too little calcium in the water will lead to an imbalance and risks the calcium in the shell and surrounding plaster being dissolved and leached into the water. Too much calcium, on the other hand, can cause
scaling on the shell’s surface and issues with the filtration system. The calcium hardness level needs to be carefully monitored and adjusted regularly. If you live in an area with low calcium in the natural water supply, testing yearly should be sufficient. Home test kits generally cannot test for calcium hardness, so you will likely have to take a sample to your pool supplier for testing. When adjusting the calcium hardness level, be sure to do so in balance with the total alkalinity and pH as changes in one can have a knock-on effect on the others. Sanitiser Chlorine is commonly used for sanitising, and it’s available in various forms. Chlorine is a bleach, so be aware that excessive amounts will bleach not only your swimmers but your pool surface!
tip Can’t keep on top of pool maintenance? Consider employing a professional pool cleaner who will regularly clean the pool, check that the filter and pump is working and get the chemical balance just right.
Reno project Add some serious style to your pool area with a pool shed or gazebo. These are places where you can seek shelter when you’re not swimming, but are still part of the pool area. When deciding what structure to build, think about what it will be used for. A gazebo is great for our climate as it is open and invites in breezes while sheltering you from the sun, whereas a shed is more enclosed and private. These outdoor rooms can become not just chill-out zones, but also extra living and entertainment areas. Your gazebo can be as simple as a covered area with a couple of chairs or you can get fancy – with a daybed, barbecue, fairy lights, storage boxes for towels and pool toys, even a fridge. Just be sure to match the style of the gazebo or shed with the architecture of your home.

pH The pH level of your swimming pool is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the water. Many factors can influence the pH level of your pool water such as rainfall, maintenance, cleaning and water top-up. It is, therefore, important to check and adjust the level regularly. The wrong pH level can cause health problems such as itchy skin and inflamed eyes, as well as inhibiting the ability of the pool filtration and sanitisation process.

Holiday at home
I
f the past six months have taught us anything, it’s that home is important. Quarantines and lockdowns mean we are all spending more time at home. We are all travelling less, which is why Sean Lynch from Poolfab Pool + Landscape Creations is encouraging Sunshine Coast homeowners to holiday at home. He and the Poolfab team recently completed a project at a family home that captures the holiday-at-home vibe perfectly. The inspiration for this project was a contemporary resort theme to tie in with the home’s waterside location, says
Sean. “We’ve designed spaces that enhance the outdoor lifestyle of the family to be enjoyed day or night, with a seamless flow between the house and the outdoor pool to really show off the spectacular setting.” With this location comes the challenges of access and the additional foundations required when building so close to the water. Smaller machinery had to be used for the excavations, while the project foundation requirements were designed with Poolfab’s experienced engineers, which is all a part of Poolfab’s unique all-inclusive design and construction
service. “The project also required some terracing and retainer wall to be designed and built in, and the pool shell itself was built above the ground to reduce the height changes in the space,” says Sean. “The result is the retainer walls being used to create the resort-style daybeds, and the raised pool shell height creates an infinityedge look over the waterfront to show off the location from every angle.” The client wanted to use natural materials combined with an eco-smart approach. The large-format natural granite pool coping and surrounds tiles as well as
the plantation-grown sustainable timbers for the decking and bench seating all lay the foundations for the overall aesthetics. The latest in eco-smart technology in the pool-operating system were used, from LED lighting, freshwater chlorination, and variable speed eco pump systems. “For me, the standout feature of this project is the resort feel that we’ve been able to achieve for the completed space,” says Sean. “The stunning wraparound water feature around the skillion roof pool house, which is accessible by the suspended timber bridge and deck area, creates a feeling of island living in your own home.” This stunning poolscape is a great example of the possibilities of Poolfab’s unique all-inclusive pool and landscape packages, which offer clients a complete service in the design, project management and construction of their projects from concept to completion. This year, the Ecozen Group was the first concrete pool builder in Australia to achieve the climate care certification accreditation for its eco smart design and construction principals. With the Ecozen Group also winning many awards at both the state and the national swimming pool industry awards this year, they are leading the way in offering bespoke, contemporary design and construction projects with an eco-conscience for any site.

NATIONAL DECLINE NOT REFLECTIVE OF COAST MARKET While property prices drop in other parts of the country, our residential property market is healthier than ever. WORDS: Tracey Johnstone.
T
he national property market conversation may be around continuing falling prices but on the Sunshine Coast it is a very different conversation. The Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) zone chair Matt Diesel says expert property market commentators often talk about Australia as a whole. “There are so many different intricacies, so many niche markets,” Mr Diesel says. According to Westpac Bank’s Michael Bennet, house prices are expected to head downwards by a further 2.3 per cent by June next year. This after suffering a 2.7 per cent decline since April. The bank’s chief economist Bill Evans along with senior economist Matthew Hassan, are predicting a “surge” of 15 per cent in the following period to mid-2023. But what is happening in the cities doesn’t reflect what is happening in the regions, particularly the Sunshine Coast. “We are in a jolly good space,” Mr Diesel says. “The Sunshine Coast is probably poised best to ride this out, out of
“The southern buyers see much higher value in our properties than locals do”
anywhere in Australia,” he adds. “If anything, the prices (on the Coast) are up from last year.” The median sales price has gone up in the last 12 months by 1.7 per cent.
“That’s mainly due to lack of stock. At present, our stock levels are down about 40 per cent,” he adds. As the borders open, Mr Diesel sees a price surge occurring as the Coast’s
‘southern cousins’ look to the Coast to enliven the local market even more. “We are actually very optimistic about the next 12 months,” Mr Diesel says. “Our biggest challenge is going to be keeping the stock up, because at the moment the volumes are down 40 per cent and we have challenge enough for our local buyers just trying to fit them out.” Historically, the Coast market has been driven strongly by southern buyers. They haven’t been noticeable for most of this year, but as those buyers start seeking Coast properties in earnest, that extra demand is likely to push up prices. “The southern buyers see much higher value in our properties than typically the locals do,” Mr Diesel says. Between the influx of people from interstate moving to the Coast, plus their response to the unprecedented impact of the pandemic on their lives, “it should be very interesting to see what the attrition rate is from down south” Mr Diesel says. “None of us really know what is going to happen when the borders open.”

PROPERTY
A SERENE LIFESTYLE IN YAROOMBA
R
CQ have been building and developing property on the Sunshine Coast for more than 30 years and are looking forward to starting construction in October on their latest project, Serene Yaroomba. Serene offers purchasers the opportunity to secure one of only 25 generous two and three bedroom terrace homes situated within the established and prestigious residential gated estate Vantage at Yaroomba. The project, which was launched to the market in April this year, has been well received by the market. “We have had an excellent sales rate on the project and enquiry remains high,” says executive director, Ric Peterson. “We are looking forward to starting work on site in October. We anticipate the project will be completed by mid-next year.” The HomeBuilder Grant has assisted in attracting quite a few buyers, with many owner-occupiers taking up the opportunity to secure the Government’s $25,000 grant. “As the grant is not conditional on it being your first property purchase, it provides an excellent opportunity for

those purchasing their second home and downsizers to benefit from the grant”. With all of the two bedroom terrace homes already sold, only the three bedroom, 2.5 bath, double lock-up garage terrace homes remain available. The Yaroomba area has recently been named in a realestate.com.au article as one of the top four property growth areas in Queensland, and it has a lot of exciting projects on the cards, including the Yaroomba Beach development which will add tremendous value to Yaroomba and the Coast.

Huge support for local student athletes
Swapping sweat for sweets
P
rofessional triathletes and local couple Alise Selsmark and Callum Millward are thinking outside the box when it comes to creating community within their chosen sport. Cupcakes and exercise are words not often used in the same sentence, but The Cupcake Cartel is adding some sweetness to the strenuous struggles of a triathlete. The Cupcake Cartel is a global triathlon team building a network of athletes to lift each other up and share knowledge. Peregian Springs resident Mr Millward had the idea for the group on the back of his popular YouTube channel Cupcakes with Cal, which showcased humorous interviews with his peers on the trials and tribulations of their athletic careers, managing to acquire tens of thousands of views. The father of a 10-month-old child, Mr Millward wanted to create something
The Encouragement Foundation, University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) high performance athletes, resident teams and USC Sport have joined forces to raise funds for bursaries to support athletes in financial need. By purchasing tickets in the student athlete scholarship fundraiser raffle, you will be directly assisting emerging athletes who are the most in need of financial support to pursue their study goals. You will also be in the draw to win some fantastic experiential prizes including: • Playing sport and learning new skills alongside Olympic, Paralympic and world champion athletes and teams • Gaining access to behind the scenes tours of high performance sport training and testing facilities
that would keep him busy as he transitioned out of professional sport. “I had one of those life’s priorities shifts,” says the former triathlete. “I was kind of looking forward to having a proper job and proper money.” Becoming a member of the triathlon support group, which has more than doubled in size in the past two years, is by application only. The only criteria is to have a sense of humour and be prepared to support the other people in the group. “Let’s face it, endurance athletes and cyclists can be a bit highly strung,”Mr Millward says. “We tried to create something that is a bit more fun. “We don’t promote anything except support and inclusiveness.” Applications for The Cupcake Cartel open on October 1 and close on October 15. Follow them on Instagram @the.cupcake.cartel.
• One month’s free pass to USC’s gym, pool, and a session in the state-of-the-art recovery pools. The raffle is hosted by The Encouragement Foundation via Australian service RaffleTix and will be drawn at 12pm Monday, October 12. To purchase tickets or for more information, head to raffletix.com.au/ studentathletes.
Netball’s Constellation Cup Postponed to 2021 New Diamonds coach Stacey Marinkovich will have to wait a little longer for her first competitive match following the postponement of October’s Constellation Cup series. Current biosecurity restrictions on both sides of the Tasman, along with concerns over athlete wellbeing following the condensed season, led to a joint decision from the governing bodies in Australia and New Zealand to put off the series until 2021. Ms Marinkovich was appointed to the Diamonds role in August and will fulfil her international commitments alongside her job as West Coast Fever coach until the end of 2021. She will then coach Australia full time. Ms Marinkovish and her players will get to double-up next year, with a second series between the sport’s heavyweights planned to take place in October 2021. “As the incoming coach, I can’t wait to
experience my first Constellation Cup, however the quarantining impacts are a real challenge for the program and athletes for both countries,” Ms Marinkovich says. “We’ll use this time to recover and regroup to ensure the early 2021 Constellation Cup will showcase the rivalry and talent like never before.” Stacey West, Netball Australia’s executive general manager of performance, says athlete welfare plays a key role in any decision to delay a series. “It is our priority to ensure that all athletes within the Origin Diamonds squad are able to recover after the condensed Suncorp Super Netball season and long pre-season,” to allow them to adequately prepare for the 2021 netball calendar, and more broadly the 2022 Commonwealth Games and 2023 Netball World Cup,” she says.

Melbourne Storm’s Christian Welch has been stood down for a COVID-19 breach on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast that occurred just hours before a two-week quarantine was due to be lifted. The Queensland Origin prop has been placed into isolation after he invited a guest to the team’s hotel overnight, in violation of the code’s strict coronavirus measures. The club has confirmed Mr Welch has been stood down while investigations continue and has been placed into isolation, away from his teammates. Mr Welch, 26, has been fined $10,000 by the NRL, similar to fines imposed on Broncos players and staff who breached the code’s COVID-19 rules earlier this year. In a statement, Mr Welch says he is extremely remorseful. “I love this game and everything it has given me and I’m shattered that I have let everyone down,” he says. “Calling my parents to let them know about this was the worst phone call I’ve ever made. “I know it’s a privilege to play in the NRL and I want to apologise to all for any damage I have caused.” The Melbourne Storm squad has been based on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast since July. The current NRL bubble placed on the Storm players and staff was due to be lifted at midnight as they last had contact with a NSW team, the
Rabbitohs, on September 4. Storm chief executive David Donaghy says the timing of the matter would form a large part of the investigation by the NRL integrity unit. “As of midnight last night, they’re effectively allowed to leave the premises and conduct themselves in nonquarantine protocols,” he says. “The time of the matter is important and they’re some of the discussions that are going on. “Everyone’s fully across the requirements, the timeframes and what’s expected of the group whilst they’re in the bubble … I don’t think there’s any ambiguity around that.” The club notified both the NRL and Queensland Government of the breach as soon as possible. Mr Donaghy says the club is also aware how tough the time away from Victoria has been on the team and staff. “We’re confident that there won’t be a test result come back with anything other than negative, however that has to go through a process,” says Mr Donaghy. “We take any type of breach seriously, I think everyone knows the standards of behaviour we expect at our football club. “It goes without saying we’re incredibly disappointed, the player’s really upset.” It’s understood Mr Welch is negotiating an extension on his current contract with the Storm, after he knocked back a recent deal from St George Illawarra.

Local surfers clean up at Sunny Coast Pro Coast surfers have made a clean sweep of the Australian Open of Surfing Sunshine Coast Pro making the most off the solid sets on offer at Coolum Beach last weekend. The Coast claimed the title in both men’s and women’s competitions with Alexandra Headland’s Sophie McCulloch and Noosa’s Cooper Davies pocketing a handy $1000 each in prize money. Mr Davies defeated Alex’s Alister Reginato ahead of Noah Stocca of Peregian Beach while Dimity Stoyle of Maroochydore was runner-up to McCulloch. Ms Stoyle and Mr Davies are now looking forward to the next round featuring the Gold Coast Pro on November 1. Mr Davies opened the heat with a 6.5 before the scoring waves deserted him. Just when it seemed his luck was out, he managed to snare a classic in the dying minutes of the heat to blow his rivals away with an 8.50 for a combined heat total of 15 out of 20. ‘That was really exciting, I wasn’t expecting that,” Mr Davies says. “It’s been a long break since we’ve had competitions so it feels awesome to get the rashie back on and get a win. “I’m looking forward to the Gold Coast
leg now – until then I’ll just be training.” Ms McCulloch seemed unfazed by carrying the pressure of the event top seeds number 12 ranked surfer in the WSL Qualifying Series. Her explosive opening ride of 9.83 took the event by the scruff of the neck then she followed through with a 7.50 for a combined heat total of 17.33 to defeat Maroochydore’s Dimity Stoyle, Coolangatta’s Piper Harrison and Tayla Green of Buddina in the final. “That turned out to be really fun,” Ms McCulloch says. “The paddle-out was pretty intense but lucky enough I was able to get the turns in that I wanted to. “I knew the judges were rewarding bigger, more committed turns so I really laid into that first one and managed to get the excellent score to open the heat – I’m stoked.”

Get loud for hearing loss WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA
I
f it was not for the technology of cochlear implants, life might sound very different for seven-year-old Jimmy Worrell. Jimmy was diagnosed with a hearing impairment at birth, leaving his parents unsure how to help their newborn.
There was no family history of hearing loss, so Jimmy’s mother Dianna made a call from the hospital to a close friend who she knew was involved in Nambour’s Hear and Say Centre. “We came on board [at Hear and Say] when Jimmy was a week old,” Ms Worrell
LOCALNEWS@MYWEEKLYPREVIEW.COM.AU
says. “They have supported us through the whole program, especially when [Jimmy] had over 100 appointments in his first year of life. “Particularly for my husband and I, having that emotional support that everything was going to be okay and guiding us through the process.” Just before his first birthday, Jimmy underwent surgery to install the cochlear implants and now the confident boy could not imagine life with them. “It’s better than with no implants because you don’t get to hear anything,” Jimmy says. One in six is affected by hearing loss, and the Hear and Say Centre is hoping the community will show their support for upcoming Loud Shirt Day on October 23. Nambour’s Hear and Say senior clinician Roxanne Innes is asking locals to find their brightest shirt to raise awareness.“We would absolutely love it if communities could support us on Loud Shirt Day – to put on a bright shirt, to throw a gold coin donation and to help raise awareness of hearing loss,” Ms Innes says. Loud Shirt Day is a crucial fundraising event for Hear and Say, which needs approximately $10,000 per year per child to provide therapy and support to children like Jimmy.

lives of people living with a mental health condition,” she says. “We can provide, we hope, a level of support specific to mental health. “COVID is a typical example where people have been quite well and then all of a sudden have a dip.” This year’s mental health theme is “take time” and Ms Menzie says the rally is a way to inspire people to do just that. Participants will register in teams of four and embark on a mystery trail. “It’s like a car rally, but without a car. “Each team will be given a clipboard containing clues as to where to walk and questions to answer along the way. It’s something a little bit different and you get to use your mind a little bit.” Grants from Sunshine Coast Council and Queensland Mental Health Week have help Naradell hold the event and Ms Menzie says proceeds from the event’s registration fee will help the charity work to its next goal. “Our ultimate goal is to have a farm in the Sunshine Coast hinterland as well as an urban hub. It’s a big challenge but we are slowly working towards it.” Teams can register for the October 10 event through naradell.org.au/whatshappening-at-naradell. The walk is open to all ages, however, it is not suitable for prams.

Since then they have gone on to showcase local food, beautiful nature and interesting people incorporating several local businesses and restaurants along the way.
“The unique nature and landscape as well as the community are really inspiring and bring an interesting mix of peace and adventure,” Ms Fallon says. She adds they have seen “interesting changes” since COVID-19 with many people wanting to travel close to home. “There are a lot more visitors wanting to be out in nature, our Great Walks transfers have become very popular as well as the local food, wine and breweries.”
Chancellor State College students learn first-hand that plastic is not fantastic Geography students from Chancellor State College put theory into practise recently at a coastal education morning hosted by council. The students collected data for their assignment and saw firsthand the impact of marine debris on our beaches. The students were challenged to come up with ideas to reduce rubbish at the source, so it doesn’t end up at the beach and in our oceans. It’s great that council was able to support the students with some hands-on learning. I encourage other schools to contact council via CoastalandCanals@sunshine

SCARS dogs need a home WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA
A
number of four-legged friends are hoping to find their “furever� homes as they continue living in refuge. Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge in Tanawha has just come to the end of its September superstars month, a campaign to help long-term dogs find a home.
SCARS president Penny Brischke says these dogs are SCARS 100+ members. “They become a SCARS 100+ member once they have waited over 100 days for a home,� she says. “No animal should be in refuge that long. “As much as we give them all of their basic needs and loads of love, there is

nothing quite like a home,� she adds. Ms Brischke says volunteers work to home animals within a couple of weeks, but sometimes it is not that simple. “We monitor the length of stay of our animals and try and promote them more if they are looking like being at SCARS or in our care for more than a few weeks,� she says. “Ideally they would all get adopted within a few weeks of arriving at SCARS.� She says puppies and kittens find home quickly, but larger-breed dogs are harder to home. Ms Brischke says adopting an animal works two-fold, helping home a loving pet and helping the refuge continue its work. “It’s not about the money when we re-home our cats and dogs, it’s about finding the right homes. “Although without adoption fees we would have no money to run the refuge and keep saving the animals.� She says with no government funding and fundraising events cancelled, this year has been a challenge. “But with the support of our community and followers we have continued to be able to re-home our cats and dogs and keep our 40-plus-year-old refuge operating.

Join Maroochydore VIEW Club Ali Atkinson Nambour Chamber of Commerce board member
Nambour is experiencing a mini boom. Property is in great demand. We’re seeing record prices, quick sales and there are several new residential developments in the wings. We’re also seeing an exciting emergence of new businesses and the refurbishment of heritage property in the CBD. We’re attracting the right kind of investors and entrepreneurs – people who love the unique character of this town. After the much-anticipated opening of Stalwarts Alehouse and Brewery in July, Nambour continues to welcome new businesspeople to town. We’ve seen the opening of a cool new pinball parlour, Garra Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Nambour Thai Kitchen and Urban Depot Recycle. Chadwick’s Kitchen has new owners and is now known as Lozzie’s Cafe, Hungry Jack’s is open and ridiculously busy, Queen Street is now home to an exciting venture owned by singer/song writer Andrea Kirwin – Peace Run Records – and there are rumours of a night club.
Members of Maroochydore VIEW Club recently enjoyed a social outing with a high tea at Brightwater Tavern. The club’s Lorri Carroll says they support 10 children though the Smith Family’s Learning for Life Program. “Maroochydore VIEW Club is part of a network … that celebrate the interests and education of women.” She says newcomers are welcome. The club meets on the fourth Friday of each month at Maroochydore Surf Club with raffles and guest speaker. Phone 0418 793 906 for more.

Beloved Buderim carols cancelled A decision has been made to postpone the Buderim Community Carols for 2020. Buderim War Memorial Community Association carols sub-committee chair Andrew Butterworth says the festive gathering with be greatly missed. “The committee has been working hard behind the scenes to investigate options so the event could still go ahead without compromising the community atmosphere but ensuring community safety and compliance with COVID-safe event plan guidelines. Unfortunately, it isn’t possible.”
Mr Butterworth says the association is starting to plan additional community events for 2021, including a bigger than ever Buderim Community Carols. “The BWMCA would like to thank our major sponsor the Buderim Bendigo Community Bank and the Sunshine Coast Council for funding under their grants program, as well as all the performers and other sponsors who had already committed to being involved this year,” he says. “We look forward to seeing everyone for a bigger than ever event in 2021.”

H
istory has been made in the Sunshine Coast’s oldest townships as it celebrates 150 years. Yandina was the centre of attention on September 22 as residents and local dignitaries marked the occasion with the sealing of a time capsule. Yandina Chamber of Commerce
President John O’Leary says it is not often people can celebrate a 150-year milestone. “It’s really something special,” Mr O’Leary says. “Yandina was the first gazetted town [for the Maroochy district]. “We call it the original workers’ town because that’s where all the railway, cattle,
dairy and sugar were, and all things that workers needed. “It’s still retained its character with the pub, historic buildings and quirky businesses including antique shops, art stores and vintage clothing. “It really has a great village vibe to it.” The Yandina Chamber of Commerce has been working closely with North Arm
Member for Ninderry 5406 5 7900 ninderry@parliament.qld.gov.au
and Yandina state schools to put items in the time capsule. “They contributed some great items including the joke of the day, games they play and what they see when they walk out of their houses,” Mr O’Leary says. “We put USBs with photos in there and also re-enacted photos of people standing in front of their shopfronts and businesses today.” Division 10 Councillor David Law says he is pleased Yandina has retained its cultural heritage and character. “Congratulations to all past and present residents of this great town that has a very bright future,” Cr Law says. “Yandina is a very popular part of the Sunshine Coast and has many wonderful attractions for visitors to enjoy.” The time capsule will be displayed throughout Yandina until the end of the year. During the celebrations, a commemorative plaque was also unveiled in the cenotaph in Railway Street park on a large rock sourced from Mount Ninderry.

Aria in Breaking Through by artist Lorissa Manners
Exhibition honours women WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA
S
haring stories of overcoming adversity and reinstating personal power is the driving force behind Women of Courage. An exhibition
by Sunshine Coast artist Lorissa Manners, each piece tells a story of a young woman and her experience to help break down the barriers associated with being a refugee. The artworks combines Ms Manners’ passion for community development and
art, and are inspired by discussions with some of her closest friends. Having spent time overseas working with non-government organisations and hearing stories from a friend who worked on Nauru, the project of gathering stories quickly evolved into a solo exhibition. “There can be a lot of prejudice around refuges and I think a lot of that comes from not understanding,” Ms Manners says. “A lot of these women have worked to bring down discrimination and injustices and that’s where my exhibition sits.” Ms Manners spent time hearing the stories of these women who were from different backgrounds. “They have turned their experience into a platform for social justice, community development, and empowerment for other women. “They leave a legacy of dignity and courage for all. “These women all have so much to give and to share and to teach. I hope I can carry that message forward.” One such story is that of Aria in Breaking Through (pictured). Aria and her family fled Myanmar. She arrived in Nauru aged 13 and spent all her teenage years in detention. Women of Courage features almost 20 paintings and is on until the end of October at North Shore Community Centre in Mudjimba.
Cultural guide shares region’s rich history Sunshine Coast Council has launched a new Cultural Heritage Discovery Guide to help locals immerse themselves in the region’s history and the cultural heritage of our traditional custodians.

Printed copies of the guide are available from museums, libraries, council administration buildings and visitor information centres.

“Kiss Cramps Goodbye”
Watch out, snakes are about If you are out and about this spring, keep an eye out for snakes – it’s breeding season and they are very active. Snake catcher Rhys Chapman (pictured) was recently called to Tickle Park in Coolum after this 1.4-metre red-bellied black snake decided it would be a good time to check the surf. “It was the first weekend of school holidays and the Sunshine Coast Pro [surf competition] was running,” Mr Chapman says. “A massive shout-out to the head judge of the event and the crew at Surfing Queensland Inc for acting swiftly and smartly to ensure both everyone and the snake remained safe and unharmed.”

ncouraging local families to get outdoors and become citizen scientists is a key goal for the Sunshine Coast’s first ClimateWatch Trail. Federal Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien recently opened the ClimateWatch walking trail at the Maroochy Wetlands Sanctuary in Bli Bli. Maroochy Wetlands Sanctuary Support Group president John Tucker says 17 indicator species of flora and fauna in the sanctuary were selected for monitoring over time as part of the program. “As the
first continental phenology project in the southern hemisphere, ClimateWatch enables every Australian to be involved in collecting and recording data that will help shape the country’s scientific response to climate change,” Mr Tucker says. Visitors can download the free ClimateWatch app to upload information. This information goes into a national database that provides a basis for detecting trend changes. The federal government’s Communities Environment Program contributed $5750 towards the project.

Three cheers for North Arm’s sports carnival
Teammates Will H, Baden C and Max J celebrate Dunethin’s victory
I
t was a sea of red, green and yellow towards the end of term three as North Arm State School students donned their house colours and bellowed their best war cries for the annual sports carnival. From high jump, long jump, shot put and sprints to ball games, sack races and
the foxtail throw, everyone joined in over two days of healthy competition. Competing sporting houses Ninderry, Eerwah and Dunethin all jostled for lead position as students cheered on their teammates and showed great sportsmanship. The day culminated in the celebration of age champions, who were
awarded their medals by North Arm principal Kelly Edgar. Beau M and Halle B were awarded 10-year-old champions, Jullian H and Charlotte D were awarded 11-year-old champions and Charlie K and Madleine B were awarded 12-year-old champions. Sporting house Dunethin was victorious overall and was awarded the interhouse Carnival Winners Shield, Eerwah won the interhouse Junior Ball Game Shield and Ninderry won the interhouse Track and Field Shield. Physical education teacher John McKie says he was thrilled with the performance of all students. “I was just very impressed with the blend of competitiveness, fun and the levels of sportsmanship displayed by all students over the two days,” he says. Ms Edgar expressed how proud she was of all children who participated and the champions on the day. “It’s been a fantastic couple of days and we couldn’t have asked for better weather,” she says. “A big thank you to all the students, parents and staff who helped to make these two days such a success.” Does your school have news?

Locals are loving The Gruffalo Trail
Louise Formosa Eumundi Chamber of Commerce secretary
Eumundi is springing into action with a streetscape design project initiated by the council, in consultation with the community. Eumundi has not had a streetscape upgrade for more than 20 years. While there are so many beautiful features of our town, many improvements are needed, such as provision for accessibility and connectivity. We’re hoping community input into the design phase will start by late October or early November. We are also working with Visit Sunshine Coast, which is providing financial support for a new promotional campaign called Colours of Eumundi to boost visitation to the township during the COVID recovery phase. We have so many interesting characters in our town, places to visit and things to do. It is all about getting the word out there and encouraging visitors to experience our sense of place. For up-to-date information on what’s happening around town, please follow and like our Experience Eumundi Facebook page.

merging Sunshine Coast artists will have the chance to share their work with the community at the inaugural Caloundra Artist Market. The event is a labour of love for organisers Grace McClymont and Natasha
Holloway, who want this to be an opportunity for artists to build connections and resonate with locals. “Post COVID we were looking for a way to provide a risk-free opportunity for local artists to market themselves,” Ms McClymont says.
“We’ve been building it from scratch and it’s a great opportunity for artists to meet with new followers and other artists.” The market will feature 16 local artists including painters, photographers and wearable artists who all use various mediums. One such artist is Amanda Davidson, well known on the Sunshine Coast for her relaxed paintings of surfers. “We are really excited about the buzz that is building around the event from both the artists and the community,” Ms McClymont says. “We are so glad to be able to offer this opportunity for local artists to continue to gain exposure and be visible within the community.” Located inside Caloundra’s The Strand building, the event will coincide with Caloundra Mini Festival’s Luminate and Caloundra Street Fair. Ms McClymont, who owns Red Ink Rodeo gallery in The Strand, hopes Caloundra Artist Market will create a platform for similar events in the future. “We believe in the value of art within the community and making it accessible,” she says. “We are really keen not just to build artists up but to provide a place for people to meet and connect.” Caloundra Artist Market will take place on Sunday, October 4 from 9am to 1pm.

Bright nights ahead at Caloundra Rugby Caloundra Rugby Union club’s future is looking bright after new lighting for the ground’s third field was switched on. The lights – paid for with a $131,000 grant as part of the federal government’s Building Better Regions Fund – will increase the capacity of the club’s fields for night games and training for rugby and other local sports. Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace officially switched on the lights before a recent home game against Noosa Rugby Union Club. Meanwhile, King’s Beach will be a little safer this surf lifesaving season thanks to a new patrol trailer for the Metropolitan-Caloundra Surf Life Saving Club. The trailer was supported by a $9000 federal grant under the Stronger Communities Programme, alongside community support from local businesses Henzells Agency and APAC Infrastructure. The trailer will transport and store vital lifesaving and first aid equipment on the beach and provide a highly visible location for the public to receive information and assistance from surf lifesavers. King’s Beach attracts more than 120,000 beachgoers each patrolling season and the club has more than 800 active members.

Dove’s new bed helps families say goodbye Dove Palliative Care Unit at Caloundra Health Service now has a cuddle bed, allowing patients to make the most of precious moments with their loved ones. Thanks to a group of dedicated volunteers, Caloundra Hospital Auxiliary raised funds through its op-shop Bardo’s Bazaar to buy the special bed, designed to comfortably accommodate two people. Nurse unit manager Wendy Delaney says the cuddle bed can be made into a queen-sized bed. “Families are so happy to be able to get in a bed and snuggle beside their loved ones,” Mrs Delaney says. “With kids too, it’s so nice for them to be able to get up and cuddle, in an environment that is more like a home than a hospital environment. “It’s also great for people who are grieving – they can lie next to their loved one and say goodbye in their own time.” Mrs Delaney says cuddle beds have functions of normal hospital beds and can be lifted and lowered, have wheels and are easily manoeuvred. The bed is worth $4835 but is something op-shop volunteer and widow Unica Meneguzzo says is priceless to families.
“I would have given anything to have been able to lie next to my husband and give him a cuddle, but unfortunately we didn’t have the cuddle beds at that time,” Mrs Meneguzzo says. “I’m so pleased that we have now supplied palliative care with the cuddle bed because it is such a relief to family to
be able to just put their arms around their loved ones in a sad time. And say goodbye.” Dove Palliative Care Unit is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and after a refurbishment two years ago, has increased the number of patients it accommodates to 14.
Beware of Steve Irwin Way 80kmh speed limit Regular drivers along Steve Irwin Way are being reminded the speed limit between the Caloundra Road interchange and Ewen Maddock Dam has be reduced to 80 kilometres per hour. Transport and Main Roads deputy regional director for North Coast Region Leah McKenzie says the new limit will create consistency for motorists. “This change will create a consistent 80 kilometres per hour speed limit from the northern end of Steve Irwin Way, south to the intersection of Beerburrum Road and Red Road. “Importantly, it will also complement the Bruce Highway upgrades underway, providing safe and sustainable travel between Caloundra Road, Steve Irwin Way and Tanawha Tourist Drive.”

Parklands Boulevard four-lane upgrade I recently visited the Parklands Boulevard upgrade construction site to celebrate a number of project milestones, and the job is on track to be completed this summer. A three-metre-wide pathway now fronts Meridan State College and connects to a 2.5-metre-wide pathway either side of the college for the entire length of the project. It’s a fantastic milestone for the project! The Parklands Boulevard upgrade project team has also recently reconfigured the stop-drop-and-go area in the Meridan State College primary school car park and secured funding for a much-needed supervised crossing on Meridan Way. Warana – Coastal Pathway update Work is currently underway on a 350-metre section of pathway north of beach access 238. Once complete, this project will provide a safe off-road pathway for both pedestrians and cyclists. This is one of many projects funded through council’s $243 million Capital Works Program this financial year. Council will also be undertaking weed control and bush regeneration works in the area. I look forward to seeing many of you out and about on the path when it is complete.

Pacific’s head of learning enrichment Jo Belchamber says the competition equips students with a vision to promote positive futures for their society. “Students use their imagination and apply research and advanced thinking strategies to develop resolutions to the issue they’re presented with,” Mrs Belchamber says. The qualifying event was held in August with only the top 10 to 15 per cent of students across the country selected to compete at the national finals. Pacific student Charles Box entered the individual division of the competition. In two hours, Charles explored the topic of gamification, identifying problems and preparing an action plan for a real-life scenario in 2046. This is the first year Pacific Lutheran College entered the Scenario Writing division, with student Makani Campbell writing a story about virtual reality travel. She placed in the top nine nationally. “It’s quite an intense and gruelling competition, so we are very proud of Charles and Makani,” Mrs Belchamber says. Does your school have news?

Caloundra Evening VIEW Club celebrates 25 years
Hamish Procter Kawana Chamber of Commerce president
Confidence in the Kawana region seems to be renewing as a level of normality is returning to the Kawana Chamber. It is brilliant to see vibrancy back in our hospitality sector and our Chamber has enjoyed events at The Lakehouse Sunshine Coast and Malt Shovel Taphouse over the past couple of months. For Kawana Chamber, getting together and networking is always top priority, however, we have also addressed the harder hitting topics with Feda Adra from Be (formerly ComLink), Kris Carver from Entag and Anne Lawrence from the Sunshine Coast Council joining us to talk about planning for 2021 and succeeding in spite of COVID-19. Our Chamber has been further buoyed by attracting and renewing our annual sponsor partners. Regatta One Business Centre and H2H Studios have come on board and are joining renewing sponsors. This investment in our local region by our sponsor partners is encouraging and further supports our mantra that now is not the time to be alone in business.
Ladies from Caloundra Evening VIEW Club have celebrated the club’s 25th anniversary in style. Their plans for a formal dinner with elegant fashion and dancing had to be changed, with members instead enjoying a morning tea in four groups. “The ladies found great enjoyment in a series of open-air gatherings at various beachside locations across Caloundra,” the club’s Glenda Galway says. “National councillor Margaret Elliott and Caloundra Club president May Thomas toured all the functions to share in the cutting of the various birthday cakes.

“Two ladies who were present with extra reason to celebrate were proud founding members Beverley Walker and Carol Kahl.”
Water police base promise made for Caloundra Caloundra has been promised a satellite water police base under an elected LNP government. Member for Caloundra Mark McArdle, Shadow minister for police Dan Purdie and Caloundra LNP candidate Stuart Coward announced the $1.8 million commitment. “Presently there are just four water police officers that patrol an area stretching from Tin Can Bay down to north of Redcliffe and all the way inland to Somerset Dam,” Mr Purdie says. Mr McArdle says population growth
on the Sunshine Coast, particularly in Aura and Palmview, mean Caloundra beaches and Pumicestone Passage are magnets for tourism. “There have been calls for many years to better police jet skis, high powered boats and people who abuse the passage,” he says. Mr McArdle says they will need to locate appropriate land, establishing the infrastructure and resources, and deploying officers. Bill’s Boat Hire owner Kerrie Chandler supports the base. “It would create more safety on the passage,” he says.

with MWP’s man in the water
Last week I was out on the stand-up with a good friend when we were approached by a pod of whales and a pod of dolphins. It started with 20 dolphins swimming around us, followed by a whale calf, who seemed quite playful. The massive presence of the mother and father was insane. I actually had the mother swim so close to me, her 15-ft pectoral fin went straight under my 14-ft stand-up. She was so close I could see her barnacles. Just an epic experience and caught on GoPro. Life is great on the Sunshine Coast. It seems sad that some people don’t get how lucky they are to be here. Blows my melon sometimes.

SURF REPORT
Robotic Knee Replacement Combining Experience with the Latest Technology in Joint Replacement Surgery With over 20 years’ experience in joint replacement surgery, Dr Maclean is now able to provide the Sunshine Coast and Noosa Community with Robotic Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery.
During the surgery further information is collected providing feedback on soft tissue balance and knee motion. Use of the robot can then assist in dynamically fine tuning the procedure, if required.
A surgical plan is developed, combining the patient’s X-Ray derived 3D bone model with intraoperative assessment of natural knee motion. Robot assistance then ensures precision and accuracy when implementing this plan providing individualised, optimal placement of the prosthesis.
Dr Maclean is delighted to be able to offer this service, having been central to pioneering the introduction of this technology to the Sunshine Coast.
