From the editor

Most of us have been touched by breast cancer in some way or another, through a family member, friend or acquaintance. We have seen the pain and heartache the insidious disease leaves in its wake. Young or old, it doesn’t discriminate.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month – a special time to acknowledge and support the women in our community who are affected.

In this special issue, Sunshine Coast local Michelle Acworth shares her courageous battle against the disease with journalist Candice Holznagel in an effort to raise awareness about breast cancer and the importance of regular self-examinations.

The inspirational mum of two young boys was diagnosed in November last year and says the kindness and support she has

The good news is that early detection saves lives. In fact, 92 per cent of women diagnosed with breast cancer have a chance of surviving more than five years.

But it’s more than just statistics – Michelle’s story is a reminder of how precious life is. So live life to the fullest, enjoy every day and don’t sweat the small stuff.

Europe has been experiencing serious dry spells and extreme heat since 2015, which has caused major droughts. Research led by the University of Cambridge looked at isotopes that formed thousands of years ago in the rings of old European oak trees in central Europe to try to pin down the cause. They believe the dry spells are a result of human-caused climate change and associated shifts in the jet stream.

By the numbers

Santa Cruz del Islote off the coast of Colombia may only be about the size of two soccer fields, but the artificial island reportedly has four main streets and 10 neighbourhoods. The island’s population is widely debated with figures ranging from 500 to 1200. Regardless, there are only around 115 homes to house the residents, and it is still considered one of the most densely populated islands in the world.

With the rise of DVD in the 2000s and the ever falling cost of the technology behind it, as well as the shrinking size of processors, and the advancements in screen technology, it was no surprise that portable DVD players made their way to market. However, the size of the discs and the quality of battery life meant that these players failed to gain widespread popularity and initially their cost was very high. Now, with easy access to streaming video via mobile phones and tablets, the need for a portable DVD players is almost entirely negated.

‘I’m still fighting the fight’

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and one Sunshine Coast mum’s raw reality stands as a reminder to all women that regular self-examinations and free screenings are saving lives through early detection. WORDS: Candice Holznagel PHOTOS: Megan Gill Portrait

Thestatistics are confronting.

One-in-seven women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

One-in-34 women will die from the disease. But there is so much more to breast cancer than the statistics – there are the faces behind those numbers.

They are our mothers, daughters, aunts, teachers and friends. Everyday people who, given no choice, are thrown into a fight for their survival.

“Stay positive. It’s your positive attitude that will beat it – that’s the worst saying in the world. I should cry. I should think ‘this is shitty’. You need to be realistic about it and allow yourself to grieve. I need to grieve the life I once had, the options I once had, the friends I once had.”

Meet Michelle Acworth. She is 42. A wife, and mum to two boys aged 10 and 12.

She faces her reality head on with endless strength and courage.

A conversation with Michelle is like a breath of fresh air. She is vibrant, joyful and yet so very open and matter of fact about living life with breast cancer.

“The biggest thing I have learnt on this

journey is about letting go of control,” she tells My Weekly Preview

“Cancer doesn’t discriminate. It does what it wants to do. You have control over your treatment and doctors, but there are so many things you can’t control. So, I am learning to balance that by choosing where to put my energy.

“I can’t control what the cancer is doing, but I can control my funeral arrangements. I can’t control my hair loss, but I can control the headwear I wear.”

Last month, Michelle’s raw and honest approach to living with cancer captured the hearts of 800 people as she stood on stage at the Wishlist Spring Carnival to share her story and raise awareness of not only breast cancer, but also Sunshine Coast charity Wishlist, which supports patients with a range of illnesses and their families.

“I was you at this event, in my party dress, glass of wine in hand, having a laugh and taking selfies,” she told her audience.

“I’ve been to the Wishlist Spring Carnival helping out for the last six years.

“This is my favourite event and I love nothing more than supporting Wishlist but this time last year, I was here when I got the

call: ‘The breast surgeon needs to see you urgently: you have cancer’.

“On November 8, my husband and I walked into the doctor’s office to be told I have triple-negative breast cancer. It was early stage, but very aggressive. So aggressive that the oncologist came in from his holidays to see me the very next day.

Michelle says it was the unwavering support of her surgeon Dr Lisa Creighton, oncologist Dr Brenton Seidl and the team of nurses at Sunshine Coast Haematology and Oncology Clinic, as well as her psychologist and allied health professionals, that got her through.

“After six months of intense chemo, including four rounds of red devil chemo (doxorubicin), surgery and six weeks of daily radiation (because I’m young I got bonus rounds), I’m still fighting the fight.”

She adds with a dry laugh: “I’ve had a few blood transfusions thrown in as a bonus. The type of cancer I have responds really well to chemo so the chemo actually shrunk the tumour by 80 per cent.

“Before I knew it, I was in theatre getting my port surgically inserted in my chest, ready for treatment. Ten days of tests, scans, chemo education, communicating with family, friends and colleagues was physically, emotionally and mentally exhausting. But I kept telling myself ‘I’m young. I’m 41. I can do this. I’ll be right’.

“I wanted my two young boys to see their mum being strong and thriving. This wasn’t going to knock me down. No way.”

“[Surgeon] Lisa removed the remaining tumour and 18 lymph nodes. There was still active cancer cells, which meant the chemo hadn’t killed it all off.”

Thankfully, the cancer was contained to its original site.

“I am now undertaking eight rounds of oral chemo. I take it at home twice a day for 14 days straight and then have seven days off. I’m doing that until the end of February.

“It’s not as easy as IV chemo. It’s harder

“You can’t do it alone. Even the mostindependent, strong person needs support”

Most breast cancers (95 per cent) occur in women with no family history of breast cancer.

when you are isolating at home. When you are taking it at home, I have to physically pop these pills in my mouth.”

The good news is that Michelle’s tumour count currently sits at zero. At her diagnosis, it was exceptionally high.

“I’m still anxious as it’s always in your mind,” she says.

“People say, ‘What’s your five-year plan?’ I just want to make five years. I’m hoping for the best. You have got to have hope. You have got to have something.”

As Australia recognises October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, what Michelle really wants people to know is how much a smile and a ‘thinking of you’ message can make all the difference to someone living with cancer.

“What I didn’t realise was how hard it would be when alone: that time between appointments and treatments when you go home and everyone’s back at work or school,” she says.

“This was the time I started questioning everything, especially my mortality. What I’ve learned along the way is, you can’t do it alone. Even the most-independent, strong person needs support.

“More importantly, everyone is entitled to that support – whatever that may look like.

“People don’t know what to say, but just staying in contact with me is enough. Send me a smiley face emoji every now and then and a ‘thinking of you’.”

Searching for a new way forward

New statistics showing an increase in breast cancer numbers confirm the need for continued research into the disease.

Get checked

Have you noticed any changes to your breasts? Breast screening is not for women who have seen or felt any changes to their breasts. If you’ve noticed any breast changes that concern you, you should talk to your doctor before you book an appointment. There may be other tests that are more appropriate for you.

BreastScreen Queensland provides free breast cancer screening for women, 40 years and over, who haven’t noticed any changes.

No doctor’s referral is required, and appointments take less than 30 minutes.

Women under 40 are encouraged to self-examine and speak with their doctor about concerns or early detection screening tests such as ultrasound.

Breast self-exams are not proven to be a good alternative to regular breast screens and changes that should be investigated by your doctor include: • a new lump or lumpiness, especially if it’s only in one breast • a change in the size or shape or your breast

• a change to the nipple such as crusting or redness, or the nipple is pulled in • nipple discharge (liquid comes out of the nipple) that occurs without squeezing the nipple • a change in the skin of your breast such as redness, puckering (pulling in) or dimpling (like orange peel) • an unusual pain that doesn’t go away.

For more, visit breastscreen.qld.gov. au/should-i-screen. For a BreastScreen Queensland booking, phone 13 20 50 or visit breastscreen.qld.gov.au

The latest figures from the Australian Institute for Health and Welfare estimates that 20,428 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, compared with an estimated 19,866 women in 2021. About 212 men will be diagnosed in 2022.

While the figures are increasing, improved screening techniques and treatments mean fewer people are dying from the disease. The five-year survival rate for women diagnosed with breast cancer is 91.8 per cent, and 86.5 per cent for men.

Without clinical research, such as that conducted by Australian organisation Breast Cancer Trials (BCT), this wouldn’t be possible. The work conducted by the group of world-leading breast cancer doctors and researchers has led to preventions and treatments including life-saving drugs such as Tamoxifen and Herceptin.

Sunshine Coast breast cancer patient Michelle Acworth says the Australian Government needs to throw more weight behind trials and provide access to drugs that are proving to be successful overseas.

“We need to be more open to the ideas of clinical trials and treatments. Why should we wait? My poor children. I want to do something now, I want to be proactive.

“The number of Australians getting cancer is only going to increase and it’s such a heavy cost on the health system.

“With more preventative and smarter treatment options, we can save a lot of lives and a lot of money.”

Michelle is working alongside fellow breast cancer patient and campaigner Alison Day to raise awareness of alternative treatments. Ali made headlines this year after fighting to have the drug Trodelvy, which is proven to extend the life of patients, approved for use in stage four triple-negative breast cancer cases. She is now campaigning to have the drug subsidised and trialled on stage three sufferers, such as Michelle. “There are two

drugs saving and extending the lives of women with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in the USA and in other countries but we don’t have access to either,” Michelle says.

“A drug has been FDA approved in the United States called Enhertu. It was created for women with a type of breast cancer called HER2. Women with HER2 cancer survive in greater numbers than women with TNBC because, a decade ago, a drug called Herceptin was created and the drug saved literally millions of lives.

“Euhertu is a drug that helps TNBC patients with what is called HER2 low expression. That means patients like myself have tiny traces of HER 2 receptors but it’s below the normal threshold level.

“The second drug is called Dato DXD and it’s a bit like Trodelvy, but the kicker is trial data shows it has less side effects than Trodelvy and it’s more effective.”

Michelle says people can write to their local politician to support the cause.

The role of genetics

The cause of Michelle’s cancer is environmental, not genetic. About only five to 10 per cent of breast cancer cases are thought to be hereditary. Information from BCT says the most commonly inherited gene mutations are known as the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations.

BCT is recruiting participants for its world-first prevention trial called BRCA-P, which aims to prevent breast cancer in women who carry the BRCA1 gene mutation. There is also the OlympiA clinical trial, which recently found that treatment with Olaparib reduces deaths by 32 per cent and reduces recurrence by 42 per cent, in patients with an inherited BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation.

BCT is hosting a free online Q & A breast cancer and genetics event on October 24 at 5pm. Led by journalist Annabel Crabb, the panel will discuss current research and genetic information.

READY SUNSHINE COAST

This year’s storm season is shaping up to be a cracker. Are you prepared for a potential natural disaster?

season is almost upon us and Sunshine Coast residents are being urged to brace for what could be a summer of wild weather this Get Ready Week (October 10-16).

Storm

Living on the Sunshine Coast we know weather patterns can change quickly and according to Local Disaster Management Group Chair and Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson, it’s not a matter of if, but when.

With a La Niña weather system back for another year, Sunshine Coast Council is partnering with the Queensland Reconstruction Authority to encourage the community to be prepared.

The Bureau of Meteorology says the La Niña typically increases the chance of above-average rainfall for northern and eastern Australia during the spring and summer months.

“Though council and the LDMG continue preparations all year round, each of us has a role to play and being prepared is everyone’s responsibility,” Cr Jamieson says.

Cr Jamieson says there are a few simple steps people can take to help safeguard their family and home.

• Step one: Understand your risk

Everyone’s disaster risk is different. To prepare your home or business, the first step is to find out what disasters you are most likely to see and the time of the year they might happen.

• Step two: Prepare a household emergency plan

Having a plan means everyone in your household knows what to do in an emergency. When you are making a plan, you might want to include your

neighbours or friends. People you know who are elderly or have special needs may need your help.

• Step three: Pack an emergency kit

Natural disasters can cause your home to lose access to power, water and gas. You also may not be able to get to a supermarket. Prepare an emergency kit so you have the things you need during and after a natural disaster.

“An emergency kit should have enough supplies to last three days in case your home loses access to power, water and gas or you become cut off from the supermarket or pharmacy,” Cr Jamieson adds.

“It should be kept in a strong waterproof storage container and contain items like a first aid kit, important medication, a torch, spare batteries, hand sanitiser, enough food and water for three

days and a battery powered radio.

“For a full list, check out the Get Ready Queensland website at getready.qld.gov.au

“I encourage everyone to save a copy of the list and stock up on essentials next time you’re grocery shopping.

“Parts of the Sunshine Coast are still recovering from the heavy rain that hit the region between February and May this year, which caused flooding, fallen trees and major landslips.

“The largest total in our region was in Maleny with council recording 2200 millimetres of rain during that period.

“Keep safe on our roads and remember – if it’s flooded, forget it.”

La Niña fast facts

• Increased rainfall across much of Australia

• Cooler daytime temperatures south of the tropics

• Warmer overnight temperatures north

• Shift in temperature extremes

• Ensure your car has a full tank of fuel

• Turn off and unplug electrical items and turn off power, water and gas if instructed

• Ensure mobile phone batteries are fully charged

• Stay indoors as the storm approaches and ensure pets/farm animals are secured safely under shelter

• Store your important documents, medical prescriptions and valuables in a waterproof container in a secure location like your car boot

• Ensure every household member knows about warnings and advice.

Post-storm checklist:

• Check on neighbours and friends who may need special assistance

• Don’t go exploring

• Act quickly on advice given by emergency services

• Stay away from fallen power lines.

Sunshine Coast athletes in a range of disciplines are set to compete nationally, vying for a place in the Special Olympics. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

For most of these sports, competition days involving clubs across southeast Queensland are held during the year.

This week, 22 Sunshine Coast athletes are preparing to compete at the national games, which are taking place in Launceston from October 16 to 21.

They have been chosen from the state championships and hope to make the Australian team to compete in the World Games, to be held in Berlin in June 2023. These games come around every two years.

Sunshine Coast Special Olympics chairperson Graeme Hight says competing nationally is a momentous occasion for the local athletes who have been busy preparing for the games.

WHAT IS INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY?

Ateam of hopeful athletes from the Sunshine Coast has been selected to compete for the chance to represent Australia at a sporting event celebrating all abilities.

The Special Olympics is a global sporting organisation for people with intellectual disabilities that has grown

from a backyard camp in the United States 50 years ago into a global movement.

On the Sunshine Coast, about 100 athletes and 30 volunteers are involved in the organisation across sports including athletics, basketball, bocce, football/soccer, indoor cricket, tenpin bowling, swimming, golf and sailing.

“The athletes have been doing a lot of extra training since their selection was announced early this year,” Mr Hight says.

“They are both excited to be joining their teammates this week and eager to do their best in their chosen sports.

“Mention must also be made of the work of the many volunteer coaches and team support personnel whose travel with the athletes and whose assistance is

Generally speaking, people with an intellectual disability find it hard to do what are considered basic tasks, such as reading, handling money or catching public transport. It doesn’t mean that they can’t learn to do these things, but they may learn differently or need more time and support to succeed. It is estimated that 850,000 Australians have an intellectual disability, with 65 per cent of people diagnosed by the age of five.

BY THE NUMBERS

• More than 7000participants Australia wide

• A total of 1123volunteers

• The Special Olympics incudes 18sports

• There are 45 clubs across Australia

• More than 3460 students participate through school programs.

LIFE, IT IS AN AMAZING THING

“I went into real estate, as my dad used to be a real estate agent and he was very good at it. I thought I would enjoy it,” she says. “Then eight years later, in early 2000, the breast cancer came back quite aggressively in both breasts.

“I had surgery and my right breast removed and then got melanoma. My immune system was just devastated.

“Just before COVID-19 hit, I got breast cancer again, this time in my left breast, and it was really difficult as surgery was delayed because of COVID.

“I am well now, and I have since learnt that I have the BRCA2 gene, which is a predisposition to getting breast cancer and melanoma.

“My therapy is painting and doing art and this helps me to seek out enjoyment in life and really put things in perspective.”

Three-time

survivor of breast cancer and melanoma, Loren Wimhurst is no stranger to life upheaval. She is deeply aware of the value of support charity Bloomhill Cancer Care provides Sunshine Coast locals, and she is urging others to give generously to the charity’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month Appeal through October.

A successful businesswoman, Loren’s real estate business has employed more than 100 people and has a national and international following. But it was not a smooth road leading to this point.

“I was first diagnosed with breast cancer when I was only 27 years old and in the early stages of pregnancy with my daughter,” Loren shares.

“At the time my world was falling apart. My sister had tragically died in a fatal car accident only a year prior to my

diagnosis, when she was expected to give birth to her daughter, who would have been my niece, only a week later.

“Devastatingly, neither my sister nor her unborn child survived the car accident. Then shortly after my mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at 50 years of age, and passed away quite quickly, a few months later.

“As you can imagine it was a horrific time. I kept searching for answers. I wanted to keep my unborn daughter healthy and alive, while I was having surgery, chemotherapy and other treatments while pregnant.

“I delivered my daughter at 28 weeks, and she was in hospital for three months – it was touch and go – and thankfully she survived.”

Loren moved to the Sunshine Coast to start a new life.

Understanding the support Bloomhill brings to cancer patients, Next Property Group has had a special relationship with the charity for more than a decade, helping to raise over $500,000 through a range of initiatives, including its popular charity auctions.

“I came across Bloomhill through their patron Raelene Boyle 12 years ago and immediately felt a connection based on my own experiences of cancer.”

For Loren, life, business and family are inherently connected.

“I believe working and giving to the community is really important and also so beneficial for the giver,” Loren says.

“When you have been through cancer several times yourself, it helps you prioritise in your mind what’s really important. It gives you compassion and insight and what it feels like for someone

else going through their own cancer journey. It makes you really strong as a person. I get so much healing and pleasure in giving back to and helping the community and Bloomhill as a charity because I know the good work Bloomhill does, and I have so much compassion for what other people are going through.”

Asked for her advice to others, Loren says she believes it is important that we each take responsibility for our own health.

“If something doesn’t feel right with the answers we are receiving, keep searching for the answers that do feel right, that do feel authentic, and the right path to take,” she says. “When I went through my early cancer experiences, there wasn’t anywhere like Bloomhill.”

Naturo is responsible for the patented Haelen milk-processing technology, which is considered the biggest development in the global industry since pasteurisation in 1864.

New CSIRO research has revealed that the product is twice as digestible as any other processed cows’ milk available on the Australian market.

The research follows a 2021 consumer trial, which showed that two-thirds of trial participants who normally experienced an adverse reaction to cows’ milk found that Haelen processed milk eliminated or reduced the reaction.

This is because of how whey proteins in the milk are broken down to allow for easier absorption by the body.

Haelen founder and CEO Jeff Hastings says the digestibility result will provide unique opportunities in the health and wellness space, while complementing the milk’s long shelf-life advantage.

“This latest digestibility finding is an incredible market breakthrough and has

seen us shift our business strategy to allow worldwide Haelen Technology partnerships and licensing agreements, rather than solely focus on processing and exporting fresh milk from our Southeast Queensland production facility,” he says.

Being produced locally as Wholey Milk, the milk should be available for consumer purchase and export later this year or early next year.

Learn how Ash beat self-doubt to conquer the world

She is one of Australia’s greatest sportspeople, but before the cheers, there were tears.

Sunshine

Coast residents are invited to an evening with Ash Barty, which will present a rare opportunity to discover how she rose from obscurity – and hardship – to tennis stardom.

Celebrating the launch of her memoir, My Dream Time: A memoir of tennis and teamwork, Ash will reflect on her incredible personal and professional journey, looking back on moments that have brought her to where she is today.

The evening with the former women’s tennis world number one will be held at The Events Centre, Caloundra, on Wednesday, November 2, starting at 6pm.

Ash’s memoir explores first-hand experiences and influences and reveals details about her injuries, obscurity and self-doubt, to winning Wimbledon.

“From the first time I picked up a racket as a five-year-old girl in Ipswich, to the night I packed up my tennis bag at Melbourne Park after winning the 2022 Australian Open, this

our coast

book gives me a chance to look back at every moment of the 20 years in between, and to think carefully through the highs and lows, the work and the play, the smiles and the tears,” Ash says.

Widely regarded as one of the sport’s most naturally talented players, Ash’s game style and ability to play a wide variety of shots set her apart from her opponents.

Her off-court approach has endeared her to the tennis community and fans around the world.

With her signature humility and commitment, she has become a role model for many.

Tickets are now on sale for this special one night only event hosted by Sunshine Coast Libraries. Tickets are $25 per person and bookings are essential via Council’s library website.

DOORS TO

local

Awell-loved Sunshine Coast community centre, celebrating more than 50 years of service, is re-opening its doors after long-awaited renovations.

To coincide with Queensland Seniors Month this October, the updated Suncare Community Centre is once again offering a range of group activities. After 18 months of being closed, initially due to the pandemic and then to accommodate

renovations, Suncare Community Services

CEO Melanie Wilson says the need for the Maroochydore centre is greater than ever.

“One-in-four older Australians live alone, which is considered a risk factor for social isolation and loneliness,” she says.

“Suncare Community Services supports those at risk, by connecting people into their community through the social and support activities that we run through the centre.

“The centre offers something for everyone – whether it be some exercise with belly dancing or indoor bowls or a quieter activity like playing cards or just having a cup of tea and a chat.”

Ms Wilson says that from what began as a place to support the delivery of Meal on Wheels in the 1970s, Suncare has now grown into the trusted community services hub it is today.

In addition to general improvements to the hall, the Meals on Wheels volunteer space and new signage, the renovations have seen the centre gain an allied health space, a gym, conference room and newly created office space for staff.

“We are extremely excited to reopen the centre for the enjoyment of the whole community, and the Suncare program of activities planned for this year means there is something for everyone,” Ms Wilson says.

“Suncare is focused on making people’s lives better. We want our customers to not only remain independent, we want them to be engaged, active and connected.”

ELI’S A CUT ABOVE WHEN IT COMES TO CHARITABLE GESTURES

After growing his locks for 15 months, a Sunshine Coast teenager has cut off his hair for a cause close to his heart.

Eli Donaldson, 18, has raised almost $1000 for Sunshine Coast-based Restoring Hope Parkinson’s Therapy after running his own campaign.

The not-for-profit charity delivers speech therapy to people living with Parkinson’s disease to improve quality of life through individual and group therapy.

“I have had the privilege of living a couple of doors down from a wonderful man by the name of Peter, who has

Parkinson’s ‘living with him’ as he says,” Mr Donaldson says.

“My grandfather also has Parkinson’s and it isn’t pleasing to see the deterioration of life it causes without the right people helping them on their path back to recovery.

“To those who donated, thank you.”

The funds will help the charity to continue to provide an evidence-based speech therapy program to address the motor speech deficits associated with Parkinson’s disease.

INHOSPITABLE LANDSCAPE

Jane Stephens knows that now, more than ever, a little service goes a long way towards building satisfied customers and repeat business.

Hnow.

Restrictions are at last in the rear-view mirror, but now customer care feels cursory; retail relations are perfunctory.

Vendor manners and attention should not be optional side dishes.

The lack of warm bodies is certainly a problem. There is a sign seemingly in every second shop or café window on the Sunshine Coast and many establishments have reported having to truncate opening hours and available services simply because they can’t staff them all.

But while customer-facing businesses are having to take on pretty much whomever puts their hand up, surely there should be more training than how to write on an order pad or accurately operate the till. Being greeted with a smile and a “good morning – how can I help you?” at a café costs nothing.

Having wait staff say, “Hello, I am xx and I will be looking after you today” at a restaurant immediately signifies attention. Clean and tidy staff members – with clothing that fits and doesn’t look like it has been dragged out of the dirty

laundry basket – indicate a business that puts professionalism front and centre.

These ‘niceties’ are so thin on the ground that those who invest in them seem outstanding. Many customers, including me, will base their choices about where to spend their hard-earned dollars as much on service as on product.

Businesses can do better. They can choose to encourage their staff to connect with customers and take pride in their conduct and appearance. We customers deserve better and we want our local businesses to succeed.

I know the current difficulties are not just one-sided. I see and hear customers being rude and demanding. Waiting an extra few minutes for smashed avo or putting up with poached eggs being a little too firm is a bridge too far for some – and they let the whole place know about it or leave a scorching review online.

Those who have never complained are speaking up and those prone to having a whinge have their megaphones out. But if business owners invested in their culture as well as mechanics, they would see that customer smiles are the currency of longest-lasting value.

A RIGHT ROYAL PREDICAMENT

Ashley Robinson tells how the late Duke of Edinburgh helped a chubby schoolboy make a lifelong decision about camping.

Justwhen you thought the media blitz over the past month had ended regarding the passing of the Queen, I have decided to chuck something in.

No, it’s not about Meghan or Harry’s body language around King Charles. It’s not about the King giving his pen a good royal thrashing for not working or any other insightful comments on the goings on of the new ‘Fab Four’.

I never met the Queen. The closest I got was a drive-by once, but I did get to meet Phil the Greek. I did the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award when I was at Nambour High. Why, I will never know, but someone must have talked me into it as I was a better follower than a leader.

I probably did it because someone told me we would get time off school. The categories were physical recreation, skills, volunteer service, and adventurous journey over a six-month period. So the latter is what I remember clearly and, in hindsight, I would have been better off at school as we had to do a cross-country overnight trip from Montville to Nambour.

I can only remember three things: getting hopelessly lost (followed the

wrong person), getting stuck in a whole bunch of lantana that cut me to shreds, and camping in a dry creek bed somewhere in ‘Woop Woop’ and a cow sticking its head in my tent and mooing at midnight. Awesome. A change of undies was required and it ensured a lifetime dislike of camping.

How I managed to pass any of the criteria I will never know. But as promised by persons unknown, about three months in, we did get a whole day off school to go to Maryborough, play a game of footy and meet the Duke (movie star John ‘The Duke’ Wayne would have been better).

It was stinking hot, the field was a dust bowl and we then had to line up for about an hour to shake hands with the Duke of Edinburgh. He must have been about as thrilled as I was, because when I eventually got to shake his hand, he said something like this: “You are a chubby fellow. You must be hot?” He was deadset right about that and after a three-hour bus trip home, I decided that those awards weren’t for me and spent the rest of my time at school sitting in the back of the room reading surfing magazines.

SPRING CLEANING TURNS TO WARFARE

It’s battle stations as Sami Muirhead fires the first shots in readying her family home for house sitters over the Christmas holidays.

OperationClean The House Up, You Bunch Of Jerks is well underway at Buddina. My bestie and her family of five are coming from Sydney to dog sit our home at Christmas time.

If we were in the movies, the brochure would say: “Come and spend 10 sunny days in a white Hamptons house on the Sunshine Coast that comes complete with three perfect pooches and Netflix”.

The reality will be that my friends and their kids will be bunkering down in a somewhat weathered home that needs lots of love and attention and three crazy dogs that sleep in the bed and bark if they even get the smallest whiff of a noise/smell/hint of a ghost in a cupboard.

The pool frequently has black spot in summer and the rubbish bin has permanent grime around it.

As for the Netflix, well this part is true but at least once a month the remote to use the service simply disappears for a few days into some abyss where I imagine it sits with odd socks and 38 missing umbrellas.

The whole situation of house sitting did initially appear a win/win affair. Our friends save a stack of rent money during peak holiday time and I know my dogs are living

their best lives with trusted people who are not serial killers or hooking up on Tinder dates with strangers in my bed.

But like most things in life, the reality bites. So, we have 10 Sundays to get our pad looking less like a recycling tip and more like a family home where you won’t die of the plague or catch nits.

Each night, we have now replaced spending 20 minutes watching TV with time to clean one draw or cupboard in the home. It is warfare.

The kids moan. My husband groans.

I feel like moving out and going and living at Club Med for the next two months, or at least just eating a packet of Tim Tams and watching reruns of Friends. But onward we march to our glittering goal of a cleaner home with less clutter. We can all pray for a Christmas miracle from Santa.

2020 we have seen a 40% rise in values on average across the southern end of the Coast and we are seeing an average drop of 5%. Although this may be seen as a drop in the market, in reality it is a price correction as prices did go beyond their true value during the peak of the hot market. The interest rate rises are doing their job in reducing inflation, which is certainly what was needed in order to restore some balance in the market.

Since

The RBA last week took the cash rate target 25 basis points higher, a lower increase than in the preceding four months. At 2.6%, the cash rate target is now at the highest level since July 2013 and surpasses the decade average prior to the onset of COVID-19 (which was 2.55%).

Assuming today’s cash rate rise is passed on to mortgage rates in full, the average variable mortgage rate for a new owner occupier loan could rise to around 4.76%,

up from 2.4% in April. For a new principal and interest loan of $750,000, this would take monthly mortgage repayments from $2,925 per month in April to $3,917. This scenario makes clear the impact of rising rates on buyer demand, with further mortgage rate rises through October likely to place additional downward pressure on the housing market.

On the ground this is translating into a higher supply of properties, a reduction in buyers’ budgets and a bit of hesitation. Although this may seem negative, when the dust settles, we are still left with a strong market and some very strong prices. It’s almost like the curtains have been opened on the Sunshine Coast and a large number of people have realised what an amazing lifestyle we have here and as crazy as it sounds, how affordable it still is.

KIMBERLEY’S COLOUR PALETTE

From historical Darwin, through rugged ranges, dramatic gorges and some of Australia’s most-remote towns enroute to Broome, it was a truly incredible 10 days travelling with Globus on the Contrasts of the Kimberley tour.

Our expert guide and driver took us to bucket-list destinations including Katherine Gorge, Lake Argyle and the famed El Questro Station.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and in addition to teaching us about the history and Indigenous cultures of each region, he also pointed out the unique flora and fauna of the Kimberley. We travelled on a spacious, air-conditioned coach and always slept in comfort. My personal favourite was the safari-style tented cabins at El Questro’s Emma Gorge: an absolute highlight of the trip.

The colours of the Kimberley are what really took my breath away. World-class sunsets, watching the rocks and gorges change colour as the sun moved, the iconic red earth and stunning blue waters along Broome’s coast – it’s a unique part of our world, which has to be seen to be believed. Searching for crocs, exploring national parks and hiking to waterfalls, travelling through this part of our beautiful country truly set my soul on fire.

HOROSCOPES

ARIES (MAR 21-APR 20)

On Monday and Tuesday you’ll feel creative and motivated, as the sun and Mars activate your Aries mojo. But there’s the potential for explosive sun-Pluto power struggles mid-week, so calm down and try to communicate with extra care and diplomacy.

LEO (JUL 24-AUG 23)

Mid-week, there’s a challenging connection between Pluto and the sun, so try to avoid family squabbles, online arguments and run-ins with authority figures. If you are the person in charge, then resist the urge to be bossy and overbearing.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)

Are your dreams achievable? Are you being unrealistic about a project that’s due to be completed? Perhaps you need to be more proactive or learn to delegate?

If you think creatively and capitalise on your group connections, then you’ll eventually taste success.

TAURUS (APR 21-MAY 21)

Mid-week looks eventful, as the Venus/Pluto square stirs up trouble. A double dose of diplomacy is required if you want to keep the peace. Then the focus is on friendships – how to nurture them, keep them… and then let them go if you have outgrown each other.

VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23)

Don’t be deterred by challenges. Hard work and calm consultation will take you far. When it comes to work, a study project or a social media matter, you have the potential to achieve success, but it won’t come without plenty of elbow grease on your part.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

With the sun, Mercury and Venus all transiting through your career zone, it will be easier to sort out workplace problems than at other times – especially if you are prepared to compromise. The weekend is good for long-term planning and problem-solving.

QUIZ

1. Maatsuyker Island is part of which Australian state or territory?

2. How old was Elvis Presley when he died in 1977?

3. Who wrote the play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead?

4. Dakota Fanning (pictured) starred alongside Brittany Murphy in which 2003 film?

5. Which US city is known as the Windy City?

GEMINI (MAY 22-JUN 21)

Your wonderfully witty side could blossom, as you brainstorm ideas and amaze others with your quick-witted quips and clever comments. But, if you are too hasty, then you could put your foot firmly in your mouth. Slow down and think things through.

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)

This week, Venus (your power planet) trines Mars and pairs up with the sun, which favours flirtatious encounters, romantic adventures and long-term friendships. But negotiations will be tricky, and possessiveness and jealousy could rear their ugly heads.

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

With the sun, Mercury and Venus all visiting your philosophy zone, you have the ability to affect others deeply with your expansive views and progressive values. Education, foreign travel, social media and local community connections are also favoured.

CANCER (JUN 22-JUL 23)

Pluto pushes your insecurity button, which could activate your protective crab claws. But the more defensive you are (and the more resistant you are to change) the more exhausted you’ll feel and the more difficult the week will be. A close relationship needs to be reviewed and renewed.

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

The sun and Venus are at odds with powerful Pluto (your patron planet) mid-week, which boosts your temperamental streak and your Scorpio control-freak tendencies. You could feel like you’re stuck in a self-sabotaging rut or even going backwards.

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

With the sun and Venus visiting your mystery zone (and squaring Pluto) there’s more to everything than meets the eye. It will take your Piscean perception – and substantial detective skills – to uncover secrets and distinguish fact from fantasy.

6. What did Holden originally manufacture when it was founded in 1856?

7. Kombu is a type of a) seaweed b) cured meat or c) soft cheese?

LOOKING AHEAD

GET READY, THE BIG PLAYERS IN COLOUR AND DESIGN ARE SETTING THE STYLE FOR 2023.

DULUX

The Dulux Colour Forecast 2023 reflects our desire to bond with the environment or communities and the people we love with warming, earth-drawn neutrals, natural textures and an array of uplifting brighter hues. It consists of three palettes: the refined Balance featuring marine blues, gentle greens and touches of deep garnet; Connect with its warm earthy tones of moss, sandstone and burnt charcoal, which centre on fostering our relationship with the great outdoors; and the playful and bold Revive with its rose pink, breezy blue, sunshine yellow, emerald, violet and burnt orange hues.

Styling: Bree Leech. Photographer: Lisa Cohen

WHAT TO EXPECT

As we emerge from the difficulty of the past few years, 2023’s design palette will be a nod to self-expression, energy and revival. Colours will continue to reflect our desire to connect with the environment, but they will also take on a bold and bright direction.

Dulux Colour Forecast 2023 tips

Colour and communications manager Andrea Lucena-Orr shares how to integrate the palettes into your home.

• To introduce colour, try painting the skirting boards or architraves in your living room, the edge of a door, the back of a bookshelf and a bedhead in your child’s room. Or breathe new life into an old lamp base, chair or front door with a coat of paint. You’ll find that colour really makes a house a home. Once you get started with paint colours, you’ll never look back.

• Before you start painting, it’s crucial when selecting colours for walls or soft furnishings that you consider other fixtures and fittings in your space that you can’t change easily – it might be carpet, tiles, laminate or stone, and/or curtains and blinds that you will need to ensure work with the new colour(s) chosen.

• For colour surety, order A4 stickers or sample pots in your chosen colour(s) for your space. View these colours in your home’s natural light conditions.

EASY PLANNING

While planning for new flooring may seem like a big job, the experts at Choices Flooring, share their tips and tricks on preparing for your next project.

Measure up

Now is a great time to get an idea about how much flooring you will need for your home. A general guide on room measurements will assist consultants on the quantity your project needs. Why not make it into a project for the family to complete? Kids may love to participate in this ‘mathletics’ challenge.

THE ‘HOW TO’

Roughly draw the shape of your room on a piece of paper. Measure the length of your room and then the width and mark both up on the drawing. Be sure to measure past the threshold of any door by 10 centimetres. For carpet, multiply the two measurements and then add 10 per cent to allow for wastage and pattern matching. For hard flooring, multiply the measurements, but only add five per cent.

Get moody

Create a list of your dream floors. Jump online or flick through magazines to find ideas, colours and styles. If you are creative and know what look you have in mind, put all your ideas together in one place to help you form an opinion.

Use RoomView

Developed to help you find the floor and rugs you’ve been searching for, RoomView by Choices Flooring provides you with a fast and easy way of viewing floor and rug styles in your home with a quick photo upload. Used either on desktop, tablet or mobile, there’s no app needed.

1.

RInject mood into your floral arrangements by spray painting a bouquet of dried baby’s breath in a shade of black. Alternatively, the Adairs Botanical bloom brown and black brush grass and berries in a vase is a stylish accent that can be used year-round.

3. PRODUCT ALERT

The Glasshouse Fragrances Pumpkin Pie triple-scented soy candle boasts a spiced pumpkin and cinnamon scent. It retails for $59.95. Visit glasshousefragrances.com.

2.

Understandably, we tend to think of plants as a way to introduce vibrancy and colour into our interiors.

For a little drama, step outside the box and invest in house plants with a difference. The black calla lilly or the black zamioculcas are two of our favourites.

WICKEDLY GOOD

Inspired by Halloween’s bold splashes of orange? We love the citrus hues, too! Haymes Paint’s Amber Flame will look great when used on an upcycled piece of furniture, or to bring life to an otherwise dull laundry or hall space.

AUTISM SEMINAR OFFERS VALUABLE SKILLS TO STAY CALM

Coping

with day-to-day tasks and remaining calm in high-stress situations can be challenging for everyone.

But that’s particularly true for those living on the spectrum.

Whether you have autism or Asperger’s Syndrome, or are caring for someone who does, knowing how to effectively deal with the common challenges that arise is important.

STEPS Pathways College will be hosting an autism seminar in Caloundra next month, featuring guest speaker Sue Larkey, to help arm people with these essential tools.

Ms Larkey is an experienced author and speaker, with more than 500,000 downloads on her self-titled Sue Larkey Podcast.

During the seminar, she will speak about how to recognise high-stress situations, why they occur and how to deal with them.

STEPS Pathways CEO Anne Nioa says

this event will give local families the unique opportunity to interact with Ms Larkey and learn valuable skills to put into practice at home.

“STEPS Pathways has a commitment to take expert thinking and industry knowledge to the regions we operate in, and this event is no different,” Ms Nioa said.

“Life can certainly be stressful at times, especially when living with autism or Asperger’s Syndrome, but knowing how to keep calm and implement effective strategies in difficult situations can make the world of difference.”

The seminar will be held at the Caloundra RSL Function Centre on Monday, November 7, from 8.30am2.30pm. Morning tea and lunch will be provided.

The general ticket price is $160.

However, eligible NDIS participants are able to claim the cost of their ticket.

SECURE INDEPENDENCE BY UNDERSTANDING NDIS SUPPORT

Cindy desired more freedom and independence. She wanted to get out and engage with her community but struggled without a driver’s licence.

Wondering what to do, she confided in a friend who encouraged her to look into some NDIS support. In doing so, Cindy was appointed a care coordinator from Suncare called Vicki and immediately warmed to her. And as they say, the rest is history.

Cindy’s days are busy now. She thrives at the art group and keeps her fitness levels up at the fishing and bowling groups she attends. Another highlight for Cindy is the short-term accommodation trips to Cairns and Darwin.

“I would never have had the confidence and courage to do all these things if it wasn’t for the support and help from Suncare,” Cindy says.

“ Vicki was endlessly patient and believed in me every step of the way.”

To top it all, Suncare arranged for Cindy to attend specialised driving lessons funded by the NDIS. So not only does Cindy now enjoy a new active life, she is also able to drive herself to where she needs to be.

Suncare’s Vicki has worked in the community services sector for 17 years.

“My passion is our customers – to help them understand how the NDIS can assist them to live their fullest life by identifying services that will help them achieve their goals. Seeing Cindy regain her driver’s licence and enjoy her activities makes me so proud to be part of her journey. She had it in her. She just needed someone to guide her, be by her side.”
