here would we be without the support of not-for-profit organisations – particularly those in the medical field? Wishlist is one such charity. Founded in 1998, the Sunshine Coast organisation has directed a staggering $22 million towards vital medical equipment, funding support services, hospital accommodation, research, staff education and so much more. With more than 150 volunteers contributing in excess of 16,800 hours of service the past financial year alone, the organisation has seamlessly woven itself into the fabric of community care. This week, our special feature pays tribute to Wishlist as it celebrates its 25th year. And we introduce readers to a local mum of two who has experienced the invaluable support firsthand after receiving a devastating bowel cancer diagnosis earlier this year (read her remarkable story on page 10). Plus, as always, we deliver all your local news, property, what’s on and much more. We hope you enjoy the read.

AGENDA

CASHED-UP OPTIONS • Airbnb: This idea also makes use of the most-expensive asset you will ever purchase in your life – your house. The next time you go on holiday or away for a few days, you can have vetted people stay in your house and keep the money flowing in. • Driving: If you have a car and commute to or from work, you are in a prime position to start making extra cash. You can work before or after your regular job, on weekends and even during your commute to work. Use your vehicle to transport people to the club, medical appointments or shops for their groceries in your spare time.

MONEY FOR NOTHING Research shows smart Aussies are using resources and skills they already have to bring in extra income during this cost of living crisis.

ussies could be raking in hundreds of extra dollars each week by renting out their extra room, new research shows. Over a third of Australians (35 per cent) – equivalent to 7.1 million people – are earning additional income through a side hustle, data from Finder’s Consumer Sentiment Tracker reveals. Of those with a side hustle, nine per cent – equivalent to more than 600,000 people – are renting out a room in their home. Finder’s data shows that the average Aussie who is harvesting a profit from their spare room is making an average of $667 per month ($167 per week). ABS data shows that 77 per cent of households have at least one bedroom vacant, leaving a potential $1.2 billion in additional weekly revenue for Aussies who are willing to lease out a room. Finder money expert Richard Whitten

says now is a great time to cash in if you have an extra room to rent. “For many Aussies, living with a roommate is better than the consequences of missed repayments. “It’s also a good opportunity to create an extra revenue stream. “You could be missing out on thousands of dollars by not making use of your extra room.” Mr Whitten says it is important to do your due diligence before taking the plunge. “Having a roommate isn’t for everyone, and the onus is on you to ensure it’s the right decision for your personal situation,” he says. “If you do decide to go ahead with it, you’ll need landlord insurance to be covered. Home insurance doesn’t typically cover damage caused by tenants.” Finder’s Consumer Sentiment Tracker shows the two most-popular ways

• Freelancing/gig economy: Perhaps you work in a specialised field or have high-level skills in a specific area. You can be certain someone, somewhere is willing to pay you for those skills. For instance, you can do some freelance writing outside your regular journalism job or cash in on your video skills using your drone. Sites such as Fiverr or Upwork offer a quick way to start earning extra today. Australians are earning a second income is by selling pre-owned goods and collecting recyclable cans and bottles. Mr Whitten says there are other ways to make your expenses more manageable. “Loyalty rarely pays when it comes to financial products,” he says. “If you haven’t compared utility or insurance providers in the last six months, you could probably be getting a better deal. Refinancing your home loan to a cheaper deal with a new lender can potentially shave hundreds of dollars a month off your mortgage. “You could also ask your current lender for a lower rate. Lenders often have better deals for new borrowers. It never hurts to ask.” – AAP.

CUP DAY RATE HIKE A SAFE BET The latest inflation data has come in hotter than expected and may stir the Reserve Bank into a Melbourne Cup Day rate hike. Consumer prices, as tracked by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, rose 1.2 per cent over the three months to September, up from 0.8 per cent in the June quarter. Sky-high petrol prices made a solid contribution to the bigger quarterly number – growing 7.2 per cent in those three months – as did rents, new homes and electricity. ABS head of prices statistics Michelle Marquardt says the quarterly increase is bigger than in the June quarter but lower than some of the jumps seen throughout 2022. “While prices continued to rise for most goods and services, there were some offsetting falls this quarter including for childcare, vegetables, and domestic holiday travel and accommodation,” she says. The inflation data came in a little higher than expected and has prompted some economists to revisit their forecasts for the cash rate call on November 7. ANZ, the Commonwealth Bank and AMP are among the groups tilted towards a 25 basis point hike in November. EY chief economist Cherelle Murphy says a November rate hike “looks all but guaranteed”. – AAP.

FAST FACTS

‘Sweating blood’

Did you know?

Do you remember?

Jim Heselden, the owner of Segway at the time, was killed by one of his own twowheeled scooters. Those fancy, compact transporters may look benign but in 2010, Mr Heselden was killed when his Segway rolled off a cliff.

If you’ve got old Apple gadgets cluttering up your home, you could be sitting on a fortune as the value of retro gear grows. Some ageing iPhones, iPods and Macs that were top of the range a few years ago could now be worth thousands. That’s because old-school Apple products – even those that are seemingly obsolete – have become lucrative collectibles. The firstgeneration iPhone, for instance, is now worth as much as $24,000 in the packaging on eBay, The Guardian reports. The original iPod classic, which launched all the way back in 2001, reportedly goes for as much as $49,000 on resale websites. Even newer models of used iPods go for thousands. Fans like the iPods’ huge storage capacities, which dwarf those of most modern iPhones.

By the numbers

Hippos may be large and in charge but they’re lacking one thing: sweat glands. Instead, they have mucus glands which release an oily secretion frequently referred to as ‘blood sweat’. Technically, it’s neither blood nor sweat but a combination of two acids that form a secretion that turns orange-red in the sun, giving hippos the appearance of sweating blood.

WISHLIST CELEBRATING 25 YEARS

Providing peace of mind Wishlist health charity is the silent partner supporting Sunshine Coast and Gympie patients and their families in a myriad ways after a diagnosis, as one mother gratefully discovered after developing bowel cancer. WORDS: Linda Read. IMAGE: LISA PEARL

t’s the unimaginable – that terrible thing that always happens to someone else. It doesn’t happen to someone like Natalie Hunter, 44 – a fit, healthy, gym-going single mother of two with a booming business, and one of the Sunshine Coast’s foremost wedding makeup artists. Yet, the unimaginable happened to Natalie in February this year, when she was delivered devastating news by doctors at Sunshine Coast University Hospital: she had aggressive stage four bowel cancer, and it had also spread to her liver. Life was pretty normal for her before that day. There was no history of the disease in Natalie’s family, and bowel cancer was an older person’s disease, anyway – or so she thought. It turns out she was wrong. Bowel cancer is actually the deadliest cancer and the sixth-leading cause of death overall in Australians aged 25 to 44, Bowel Cancer Australia reports. Natalie’s experience and ongoing cancer treatment journey has led her to become an advocate for raising awareness of this frightening statistic. She was the ambassador for K’s 4

Cancer: an annual fundraising run that supports Sunshine Coast cancer patients and their families. The event is run by Wishlist: a not-for-profit organisation that provides vital support services to patients on the Coast. “Wishlist is an organisation that is close to my heart. It’s just incredible when you first get to experience walking through an accommodation facility like

“My whole outlook on life has changed and it really is the little things that matter” Wishlist Centre and know how many people benefit from having an affordable place to stay across the road from hospital – especially when undergoing cancer treatment,” Natalie says. A passionate advocate of bringing awareness about bowel cancer to young people, Natalie says her diagnosis has given her a sense of purpose.

“When I got diagnosed, and once family was in the room – my brother and a friend had arrived, and I’d had time to process it a little bit – I said, ‘This isn’t going to get me. There’s a reason why this has happened,” she says “My life’s changed so much. This gives me something to do and, hopefully, I can help other people.” Natalie says being aware of the symptoms is vitally important for an early diagnosis and ultimately a better outcome. “I didn’t even know what the symptoms were – that’s why it wasn’t in the forefront of my mind,” she says. “Now I just tell everyone, if you just feel like something’s not right, go get it checked. It’s harmless to get it checked, and it’s better to be safe than sorry.” Some of the major signs, she says, are a change in stools, blood in stools and fatigue. She explains that in retrospect, she had some symptoms late last year and that they are “really obvious now” – a thinning of her stools, “random tummy pains” and extreme tiredness – but she did not associate them with anything sinister at the time.

Natalie and her children Natalie visited her GP two days before her diagnosis, for what she thought was a bad case of constipation. He had given her a colonoscopy prep solution (a powerful liquid laxative) to solve the problem. The solution did nothing, and after a second GP visit and another dose of the prep solution, Natalie was in agony, pacing the floor in the middle of the night. “The kids [aged 11 and 14] were asleep in bed,” Natalie says. “If they weren’t there, I would have called an ambulance then and there. But I just waited for the sun to come up, and myweeklypreview.com.au

30/10/2023 9:45:37 AM

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS

then I woke up my son [14] and I said, ‘I’m going to have to go to hospital, I’m really, really sick’.” Receiving the diagnosis, was a moment Natalie will never forget. “It was just so strange. It just felt like your life literally did flash before your eyes. I was completely blown away. I thought, ‘Holy crap’, and I said to the doctor, ‘I can’t tell anyone’. “The doctor said, ‘I’m going to get a social worker for you and you can talk to them first’. I spoke to them and after about half an hour, I’d kind of digested it slightly. I got on the phone to Mum and then Dad, and it was just a whirlwind from there.” Within less than 24 hours, Natalie had undergone surgery to remove a large tumour that was blocking her bowel. While the initial tumour was removed, other tumours that had grown on her liver had to be shrunk, so doctors could remove them safely. Six cycles of aggressive chemotherapy followed, as well as more major surgeries on her liver and further treatment.

She says her doctors are impressed with how well she has responded to treatment so far, and attribute her recovery, in part, to her overwhelming positivity. “The mind is such a powerful thing,” she says. “As my oncologist said, ‘You’re responding so well and we’ve got a plan, but cancer also has its own plan, so we’ll just do step by step’.” Natalie has had to quickly re-organise her life to accommodate her ongoing treatment and recovery. She has stopped work, which meant handing all her clients to other people. Friends and family have rallied, surrounding her with support. Her family, who live in southern New South Wales, come and stay for six to eight weeks at a time while she recovers after each surgery. Her children, she says, have been “amazing” and are coping well. “I feel really grateful that family and friends, my friendship group, and the community, have all been amazing,” Natalie says. It’s not only on a practical level that Natalie’s life has changed. Her attitude to life has also – perhaps unsurprisingly – been completely transformed. “My whole outlook on life has changed and it really is the little things that matter,” she says. “Because you’re forced to stop, you have time to reflect and really evaluate what’s important in your life, and what matters. “I think now, there’s a reason why we go to work and work so hard. “You’ve got to stop and smell roses – you just have to. “We just go, go, go. “It’s such a rat race of a life now. “But, oh my gosh, in the blink of an eye, it can all change.”

Wishlist funds cancer care support where it’s needed most The investment made by Wishlist in local cancer services over 25 years is rivalled only by the level of the investment in local paediatric services. In 2006, Wishlist opened the Sunshine Coast Cancer Centre at Nambour Hospital. Wishlist directed $1.4 million to refurbishing and equipping a state-ofthe-art, multidisciplinary cancer treatment unit. The unit introduced telehealth services for cancer specialists, reducing the need for patients to travel to Brisbane for treatment. Soon after, in 2009, Wishlist’s first emergency accommodation facility, Reed House, opened next to the Nambour Hospital campus, thanks to RCQ, the Reed family and local contractors. The impressive 20-room facility has

since served as a ‘home away from home’ for more than 12,000 guests needing the services of a local hospital. Many of them are cancer patients, who often stay up to six weeks for ongoing treatment. The Coast community continues to support local cancer services, funding the exercise physiology equipment in the gym at the Adem Crosby Cancer Centre at Sunshine Coast University Hospital, multiple research projects and equipment such as a 3D printer and SOZO machines to support cancer patients, accommodation for people travelling for cancer treatment, and volunteering the complementary wellbeing services on offer to guests at Wishlist Centre and patients of Adem Crosby.

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS

Cutting the ribbon to open Wishlist Centre.

25 YEARS OF FUNDRAISING EFFORTS Priceless support from the Sunshine Coast and Gympie communities has helped Wishlist greatly improve services and resources for local patients.

rom a state-of-the-art cancer centre at Nambour General Hospital to the $14 million Wishlist Centre at Birtinya, the unwavering support of the Sunshine Coast and Gympie communities has proven to be the driving force behind 25 years of outstanding philanthropy. This invaluable collaboration with Wishlist has yielded extraordinary results – $22 million of service support and transformative medical equipment, indelibly impacting the lives of countless local patients and their families. In 2012, Wishlist began a decade-long investment in enhancing ophthalmology

services at Caloundra Hospital. More than $550,000 was invested in equipment to help diagnose and treat patients with sight issues, including a cryotherapy device and handpieces for children and adults with eye injuries presenting to Caloundra Hospital. The equipment slashed waiting times and boosted services for hundreds of Sunshine Coast locals with sight issues who would have otherwise had to travel to Brisbane for treatment. In 2018, lifesaving inter-hospital transfer equipment worth $130,000 ensured children such as Archer Howe, from Tewantin, could be brought closer to home.

SCAN TO WIN OR VISIT WISHLIST.ORG.AU

Archer Howe Archer was born with not one, but two very rare genetic conditions: Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome and Hirschsprung’s Disease. When combined, they are known as Haddad’s Syndrome and threaten to cut

short his young life every day. Archer was treated in Brisbane and remained there until specific paediatric medical equipment was purchased for the Sunshine Coast, and specialised support workers could be trained to help Archer. “We’re so grateful that Wishlist purchased the equipment that meant not just Archer but other critically ill kids on the Coast could be transported safely when they needed care.” says Summer, Archer’s mum. “The Sunshine Coast University Hospital is now better equipped to deal with critically ill children, and we were able to access funding so we could get help with caring for Archer.”

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS

Gary McGrath on his last day of treatment at Adem Crosby Centre (left) and baby Eva May Kennedy.

PATIENTS’ JOURNEYS TELL THE STORY OF WISHLIST CENTRE’S WORTH In its inaugural year, Wishlist Centre has marked many milestones. From hosting its first guest battling one of the rarest forms of leukaemia, to celebrating the centre’s first baby born on site, and therapy services expanding to support guests – the first 12 months has been truly remarkable. In just 365 days, Wishlist Centre has transformed from a $14 million health project into a vital lifeline for more than 750 families navigating health crises. Wishlist accommodation manager Tracey Sobey says that since opening doors last November, the facility located opposite the Sunshine Coast University Hospital has played a pivotal role in keeping 750 families together during turbulent times. “Wishlist Centre isn’t just a place to stay for patients receiving ongoing treatment or are transitioning to and from hospital, it’s a testament to the power of community resilience,” Ms Sobey says. “As we mark our first birthday, it’s heartening to reflect on the countless stories of strength and unity that have unfolded within its walls.” First Wishlist Centre guest Gary McGrath was diagnosed last year with acute promyelocytic leukaemia: a rare sub-type of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) which accounts for just 10 per cent of all AML diagnoses. After nine months of treatment to conquer the blood cancer and staying at Wishlist Centre for the majority of that time, Mr McGrath was able to get back to his home in May. “I live in Gympie and this service is not available for my particular diagnosis,” Mr McGrath says. “I was so glad Wishlist was

there for me. I initially stayed at Wishlist’s other facility, Reed House in Nambour, before I was transferred to the new Wishlist Centre. To be so close to my chemotherapy was such a relief for me. I will always be grateful that Wishlist is available to people like myself who live too far for this service. It definitely helped me through my journey.” Since Mr McGrath’s stay, another two patients diagnosed with acute leukaemia have been able to stay at Wishlist Centre. “In fact, around half of our guests are cancer patients, while around 12 per cent of guests are family members of loved ones who are receiving critical care in the Intensive Care Unit,” Ms Sobey says. In July, Wishlist staff and the dozens of volunteers who help run the centre experienced another ‘first’ when Kin Kin parents Cynthia Trudgett and James Kennedy welcomed their precious baby Eva May. The couple had checked into the centre due to a high-risk pregnancy, but little did they know that four days later Eva’s miraculous birth story would unfold. Eva’s speedy arrival happened on July 2 at 2.17am when Ms Trudgett unexpectedly and safely delivered her own baby at Wishlist Centre. Over the past six months, the team has extended therapy services within the centre to include yoga, meditation, massage, reiki, sound healing and weekly pet therapy. AJH Disability and Health Services which provides holistic and inclusive services to NDIS participants also opened their doors in May. Wishlist CEO Lisa Rowe and the team are working to unveil plans for Stage 2.

DID YOU KNOW? Wishlist has funded the Sunshine Coast Clown Doctors service since 2016 – starting at Nambour Hospital before moving to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. 14 My Weekly Preview | November 2, 2023

HEALTH CHARITY REMAINS ON PATH OF COMPASSION AND COMMITMENT In a quarter-century of unwavering dedication, health charity Wishlist has become synonymous with transformative impact in public healthcare. Celebrating its 25th year, Wishlist stands as a beacon of hope, having directed a staggering $22 million towards vital medical equipment, accommodation, research and services to support patients and their families. The heartbeat of Wishlist is not just in the numbers but also in the countless lives touched by its initiatives. With more than 150 volunteers contributing more than 16,800 hours of service the past financial year alone, the organisation has seamlessly woven itself into the fabric of community care. Wishlist CEO Lisa Rowe says it’s the power of collective action where individuals give their time and hard-earned money to enhance public healthcare on the Sunshine Coast. Lisa Rowe “The impact of our volunteers, donors and supporters is profound,” Ms Rowe says, who has been at the helm of the organisation for more than 22 years. “In the past financial year alone, thanks to the generosity of our community, we have been able to direct $1.36 million towards essential services, the provision of medical equipment, research, patient support services, accommodation and more. “These funds ripple through our local hospitals, clinics and accommodation centres to leave a lasting impact on those who need it.” Wishlist also recently pledged an additional $244,000 to fund Queensland’s first dedicated domestic and family violence social worker in our local health service for up to three years. “This vital position, aimed at addressing this pressing societal issue,

will provide invaluable support to those affected and foster a safer environment for all,” Ms Rowe says. Keeping families together has long been the goal for Wishlist. In times of darkness, there is some comfort in having your loved ones around you. Local business owner Paula Gowland, of Sunquest Signs, understands this well. Ms Gowland spent 758 days in hospital and encountered the lowest of the lows – traumatic, but also devastating for her husband John and three children. “We chose to become a Wishlist Alliance partner because we love that they raise funds to help families of the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service by reducing the stress of long hospital visits when families are dealing with unexpected medical journeys,” Ms Gowland says. “This is an issue that is very close to our hearts, and we know first-hand how important it is to stay connected with loved ones through these challenging times.” While working to grow Wishlist Centre – the Roy and Nola Thompson Building – and services to support guests, patients and their families at local hospitals, Wishlist is turning to the next stage of the centre. Plans are afoot to provide additional accommodation on the Bright Place property to meet a growing need, along with serviced offices, wellbeing and consult rooms, and commercial and multipurpose community space. Wishlist plans to develop the commercial and community partnerships at play in the Roy and Nola Thompson Building to further focus on the health and wellbeing of cancer patients, young adults with mental health challenges and ex-military personnel – along with the hospital patients in general, and the loved ones who care for them.

GROWING THE ECONOMY Councillors have approved an update of our regional economic development strategy to future proof the Sunshine Coast.

he region’s economy is expected to grow by $12 billion over the next decade and is on track to generate thousands of jobs through the Sunshine Coast’s updated economic development strategy. Councillors endorsed the Sunshine Coast Regional Economic Development Strategy 2013-2033 (2023 refresh) at the October 26 Ordinary Meeting.

The strategy, known as REDS, will continue to drive an innovative, adaptive, resilient and climate-ready economy. The plan reveals Sunshine Coast Council will collaborate with industries to create new jobs, higher incomes for locals, plus an expansion of areas such as digital tech, production and the circular economy. Since 2013, the strategy has provided a

20-year vision and blueprint for sustainable economic growth to help to ensure the region actively participates in the global economy and delivers the lifestyle and opportunities for local residents and businesses. Mayor Mark Jamieson says there are four goals in the strategy. These include growing the economy, generating more high-value employment, increasing exports and improving household incomes. “Our region is growing at a faster rate compared to many other similar regions across Australia and we are well on track to achieving our target of $33 billion in 2033, with our economy currently valued at $21 billion,” the Mayor says. “Median household income levels are progressing well towards being above the state average by 2033. At the time of the most recent Census being conducted in 2021, median household income levels were just 4.8 per cent below the state – much closer than the 9.1 per cent difference in 2018. “This means less people are leaving the Sunshine Coast for higher-paying jobs, and we can attract and retain talented individuals who want to work, play and stay here. “Our high-value jobs are growing at a

fast pace with 17,000 new positions created since 2018, bringing the current total to 92,000 high-value jobs and nearing our goal of 100,000 jobs by 2033. “Meanwhile, our regional exports have grown solidly recently and are now exceeding the growth required to reach our goal of 20 per cent. “As our region and economy continue to evolve, so, too, does our strategy. Our focus on a diversified economy through our seven high-value industries remains strong. However, our ability to adapt and support new emerging industries will be critical to our long-term success.” The Mayor says the strategy includes six new and emerging broad economies within the areas of knowledge, digital, production, green, visitor and placebased. Food and Agribusiness Network (FAN) CEO Nicole McNaughton says the evolution of the region’s food and agribusiness industry is testament to the REDS. “FAN was borne out of the initial REDS, with the industry then valued at $725 million,” Mrs McNaughton says. “Today we’re proud to be recognised as a leading Australian food industry cluster and the proof is in the pudding with the industry now valued at over $1 billion.”

AN UPHILL BATTLE Tackling Buderim’s nine hills in three hours is gaining momentum, with new categories added to the bike challenge. Words Caitlin Zerafa.

n event that challenges cyclists to tackle nine of Buderim’s hills in three hours is set to get spinning again – all for a very important cause. Not for the faint-hearted, the Buderim 9 Challenge will see cyclists test themselves on November 26 as they attempt to ride 76 kilometres.

myweeklypreview.com.au

17.indd 1

Now in its 11th year, the event is an exciting opportunity for seasoned riders to participate in either the Buderim 3, 6 or 9, or the Buderim Electric events. This year also will see the introduction of the first Buderim 9 corporate challenge. Starting at the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC) at 5am, cyclists

make their way up and down the hills of Dixon, Cogill, Ballinger, Crosby Hill, Glenmount, Mons, Lindsay, Jones and Mooloolaba roads, finishing back at UniSC Stadium by 8am. As a challenge not a race, the event will once again be raising money for the Pyjama Foundation, which supports the dreams of children living in foster care. Buderim 9 ride director David Wighton says he is looking forward to the 2023 event, which has been moved forward from its traditional date in December to allow even more people to be involved. “Buderim 9 is heading into its second decade with new twists and turns for this cycling challenge and a new date,” Mr Wighton says. “Buderim Electric is a category for electric bikes which is an increasingly popular segment of bike ownership. “The challenge is still very real for electric bike riders as they must manage a variation of pedal power, motorised power and gears to conserve enough battery power to get to the finish.” On the corporate challenge, Mr Wighton says the team event is a great opportunity get behind the cause and accumulate points for each rider that completes a hill in the time limit to win.

“A new twist for 2023 is the Corporate Challenge where Buderim 9 entrants nominate a business, club, charity, school and form teams of four to six riders,” he says. “The team with the most points for hill climbs at the time limit will win inaugural bragging rights.” Sunshine Coast e-bike tour company ecoTekk will be participating in the event for the first time in 2023. The company will be donating an e-bike, in partnership with VelectriX, for one Buderim 9 entrant to win. “ecoTekk Sunshine Coast is incredibly grateful for the invitation to participate in the esteemed Buderim 9 event,” the company founder Stuart Whitney says. “This long-standing event holds a special place in the hearts of the community. “And ecoTekk is honoured to be a part of it for the first time.” Among the spoils is also a hospitality prize package for the winning Corporate Challenge team. Spectators can position themselves on top of Buderim and move along from King Street to William Street to see the riders as they reach the top of the hill. Registrations for the Buderim 9 Challenge are open at buderim9.com.au.

GAMES HONOUR FOR DUAL PARALYMPIAN AND ACADEMIC A University of the Sunshine Coast lecturer has been appointed in an important leadership role for the Paris Paralympic Games next year.

Sunshine Coast dual Paralympian and respected academic has been honoured with a vital leadership role for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. Dr Bridie Kean has been named Australian Team Deputy Chef de Mission for next year’s Games. The appointment marks the first time in almost a

decade that a Paralympian has been appointed to the crucial position. The title comes with the responsibility of leading the Australian Paralympic team when they compete in the 2024 Paralympic Games. Dr Kean was a member of the Gliders women’s wheelchair basketball team that won the bronze medal at Beijing 2008 and silver at London 2012. “To be given the opportunity to contribute back to it through this position is such an honour,” Dr Kean says. “I really want to get it right, learn as much as I can and, I guess, provide that lived experience to the leadership group about how we can best support our Paralympic team.” Dr Kean was selected from a strong field of applicants to become the first Deputy Chef de Mission with experience as a Paralympian since former swimming champion Paul Bird filled the role at Rio 2016. She has a Master of Public Health and completed a PhD on the balance between sport and study for para-athletes. She is also a University of the Sunshine Coast lecturer and chairs the Sunshine Coast 2032 Legacy Plan Community Reference Group. The Paralympic Games of Paris will start on August 28, 2024.

DECK THE HALLS, HOMES AND BUSINESSES As the festive season approaches, excitement is building across the Sunshine Coast in anticipation of a dazzling showcase of creativity and holiday spirit. The Sunshine Coast’s Christmas Lights Competition will illuminate the region. Residents and businesses are invited to decorate their homes and shopfronts and register their displays. Lighting Illusions CEO Atif Shafi says the competition is an incredible opportunity to spread holiday spirit throughout the community. “This competition brings families, friends and neighbours together in the spirit of festive celebration, to enjoy the magic of Christmas,” he says. First National Coastal Real Estate principal Paul Angell says its team enjoys witnessing the amazing creativity of the Sunshine Coast community. “We love that people take so much time to transform their homes and workplaces into Christmas wonderlands for passers-by to enjoy during the festive season,” he says. All displays entered will be highlighted on the Sunshine Coast Christmas Lights Google map, with the community invited to vote for their favourite display from December 1. Winners will be announced on December 14. The prize pool is worth more than $4000. Registrations for the competition close on November 19. Enter at sunnycoastlights.com.au.

PROFILE

KATERINA SAVOURS HER SWEET NEW LIFE The former Czech journalist has found her calling on the Coast with her family and a loyal retail following. WORDS: Shelby Meek.

aterina Lee stands up, rushing eagerly to assist at the counter, not immediately recognising the woman as a regular customer. Unexpectedly, Ms Lee’s customer produces a painting, showing a pond surrounded by trees, and hands it over.

The customer’s gift is for Ms Lee’s husband Tommy Lee, knowing his background in Pohang, South Korea. “It’s a gesture that speaks volumes about her understanding of his connection to the piece and its cultural origins,” Ms Lee says. “She has been coming here since the beginning.”

Ms Lee strives to create a joyful and healthy community by making people’s tastebuds happy with chocolate. Before her life in the Sunshine Chocolatier shop, Ms Lee studied Catholic Theology at Charles University in Prague. She wanted to learn about the church’s history, culture and the foundations of its beliefs and values. She put her studies to use in her job as a journalist on Radio Proglas: a small Christian radio station in Brno, Czech Republic. The radio station was her life until December 2015. “There was lots of pressure in my previous life,” she says. Ms Lee was in desperate need of a change. She first began her travels to Australia with a goal to learn English and find a job in an English-speaking radio station. She even travelled to San Francisco in the US to attend a three-month intense language course. The many expeditions Ms Lee took to learn English, however, made her increasingly fond of travelling. “I went to America. I went around Europe,” she says. Ms Lee met her now husband during her first week of travelling in Australia. Together, they moved to Prague, Ms Lee’s hometown. While living there, Mr Lee studied

accounting and was employed in the food industry, working with foods such as chocolate. They had a son, Daniel and the couple made the decision to move to Australia in April 2018 because of its openness to diverse backgrounds and wide use of the English language. “The primary reason for moving back was to create an environment where Daniel’s growth wasn’t dominated solely by my or Tommy’s culture,” Ms Lee says. The couple’s business ideas started small: they began selling chocolate in Eumundi, Caloundra and Noosa markets in December 2018, and they opened their shop 10 months later. The business gave Ms Lee much more freedom to create her new, easier and less-stressful life. Her old life as a journalist is a memory now and the change has invigorated her. “There is pressure in business, but we work as a family, can make decisions easier and just be ourselves,” she says. It was also an opportunity for Ms Lee to interact and connect with her customers. “I love my customers so much. From my busy, crazy life of radio broadcast journalism, just the small talk … it’s fulfilling me much more.” Shelby Meek is a student at the University of the Sunshine Coast.

SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL PROMOTION

FROM THE MAYOR Hello everyone, At last month’s Ordinary meeting, Council endorsed the refreshed Sunshine Coast Regional Economic Development Strategy 2013-2033 (REDS). I am extremely proud of the REDS, which has been instrumental in shaping the Sunshine Coast as one of Australia’s strongest regional economies. Since 2013, the REDS has provided a 20-year vision and blueprint for sustainable economic growth to help ensure the region actively participates in the global economy and delivers the lifestyle and opportunities for local residents and businesses. Today, our region is growing at a faster rate compared with many other regions across Australia and we are well on track to achieving our target of being a $33 billion economy in 2033. Median household income levels are progressing well towards being above the State average by 2033, which is a fantastic outcome for our economy and community. This means less people are leaving our region for higher-paying jobs and we can attract and retain talented individuals who want to work, play and stay here. I’d like to thank our business and industry community for their efforts and contributions in achieving these outstanding results for our region so far. Together, we will continue to foster a thriving and prosperous economy. To read the strategy, search ‘Regional Economic Development Strategy’ on Sunshine Coast Council’s website.

Why Xplore? The brightest minds in healthtech will gather on the Sunshine Coast this month to inspire insight and creativity within the industry.

SHUT THE GATE ON SWIMMING POOL TRAGEDIES As the temperature begins to rise and the temptation to cool off in the backyard increases, so too does the risk of a child’s life being lost in a Sunshine Coast swimming pool. Now is the time to check your pool is safe and educate your family about the importance of water safety and keeping the pool gate firmly shut. Forty children under four years old lost their lives in regulated pools, in Queensland, between 2011 and 2021. A further 853 received medical attention after a non-fatal immersion incident. Faulty fencing and gates that don’t latch or have been purposely propped open accounted for 90 per cent of pool fatalities and life-threatening immersions. Pool owners and occupiers can be fined more than $23,000 for failing to ensure a pool gate is securely closed. Council encourages every pool owner to follow their free pool safety checklist.

ere, we meet Deborah Lee, Clinical Assistant Professor, University of Michigan, USA.

FIND OUT WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO SUNSHINE COAST RESIDENTS Sunshine Coast residents have again put the environment at the top of their priority list with an emerging emphasis on affordable housing, according to the latest Living on the Sunshine Coast survey. This year, 1734 residents contributed their views on liveability, wellbeing, financial circumstances and issues facing the region. Among respondents, the top five elements of importance to liveability were access to the

natural environment, feeling safe, high-quality health services, a lack of road congestion and affordable, decent housing. Sunshine Coast Council engages independent demographers .id to manage the survey and results for a robust process. Results help Council monitor the progress of its regional strategies and to inform plans and advocacy. Visit views.id.com.au/sunshine-coast to see the full findings.

Protecting our wildlife A line of discreet green posts has been dotted along a local road to help save wildlife and improve the safety of motorists. These 100 posts combine on Ninderry Road, Verrierdale, to make a unique and low-impact wildlife deterrent called a ‘virtual fauna fence’. Each post is equipped with a special device that detects the light from oncoming headlights and emits a low sound to warn wildlife of approaching traffic. The sound holds the animal’s attention long enough for them to pause before crossing the road with the aim of reducing the number of car and wildlife collisions. The new fence is designed to provide improved safety for wildlife and motorists. This is a great outcome for our local kangaroos and wallabies and the safety of our community.

VARIED REASONS FOR BUSINESS SUPPORT

The Memorial Drive Streetscape project is progressing along nicely. Tenders for construction are open, with the aim to award a contractor early in the new year. Following this, a construction date will be confirmed and we will ensure our community, residents and businesses are notified well in advance of works starting, to minimise impacts to trade and to allow for planning. In more good news, the artistic elements of this project are being developed in parallel to construction. If you are, or know of, an artist, stay tuned as an expression of interest will be released in the next few months. I’ll ensure I provide you with regular updates on this project as it progresses. Don’t forget: if you have any questions, email david.law@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au and follow my Facebook page for regular updates: @DavidLawDivision10.

Businesses support charities for many reasons, and an obvious one is to see a return on investment. Wishlist supports five hospitals between Caloundra and Gympie, and the needs of 9600 health staff – local families. Our partners are introduced regularly to our extended family of health staff through their partnership with Wishlist, and obviously that can mean sales. Many Wishlist partners feel compelled to give back to a service that they’ve relied on in the past. It’s the health service we all need at some point in time, and our work makes life a little easier for those in a similar situation. The fact that support can be directed to any area of local health is also a big incentive to donors. The most common motivator is corporate social responsibility: businesses holding themselves accountable to employees, clients and the wider community. Our business partners are all

driven by this final category, although I know that the gratitude of almost 10,000 health staff can also deliver significant return on investment. Partners of Wishlist also turn the patronage of health service staff into a win-win for local families. Let’s take BOQ Maroochydore, whose partnership with Wishlist has supported all we do for more than four years. BOQ Maroochydore commissions paid to Wishlist on health staff taking up home loans have funded scholarships and training, and mental health and wellbeing support for our health heroes over many years. A Health Service Staff Awards Gala next year will be partly funded by Wishlist partners Sunshine Toyota, Wealthmed and BOQ Maroochydore. BOQ’s Nicholas Barker and his team attend Nambour, Caloundra and the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH) regularly to shout free coffees for doctors, nurses and operational staff. They’re also one of many teams calling donors from the foyer of SCUH on Wishlist Giving Day. BOQ Maroochydore sponsors the 92.7 Mix FM Give Me 5 Golf Day, delivers a “we come to you” service to time-poor staff, and generally support our work – and many other charities and sporting groups – any way it can, whenever needed. We’re lucky to have such businesses. Thanks, Nicholas and team, for all you do.

MY OPINION

LIFE’S LOSSES AND GAINS

ALL CHARGED UP OVER CONFUSION

Jane Stephens offers some wise perspective as she ponders the lost and found items (and people) of our everyday lives.

To borrow from Pink Floyd’s lyrics, Ashley Robinson is a lost soul living in a fish bowl, year after year ... and that’s probably a good thing.

osses can cause pain to the brain and dig holes in the soul. Big ones such as the death of a loved one or a sudden redundancy can ache and gnaw. Even small ones – misplaced keys or forgetting the promised salad at a picnic – can really throw out a day. Imagine, then, losing a person’s mortal remains. This occurred recently, leading to one of Queensland Police’s more unusual media releases: ‘Noosa Heads Police are searching for the rightful owner of property that was located on the Park Boardwalk on Noosa Parade at Noosa Heads on October 1. The item is described as a box containing unknown ashes. If this item of property belongs to you, please contact Noosa Heads Police Station’. A box of human ashes, not yet at rest, puts into the pale the lot of the parent who lost one of their toddler’s sandals (inevitably, it is only one) at Pierce Park the same week. It makes that missing email containing tickets you bought months ago seem less consequential. But there was more that week, with another police media alert dealing with another kind of loss. A 52-year-old woman was fined $309 after she lost her load: a

ladder from a trailer she was towing on the Scenic Rim. To make matters worse, a motorcycle cop noticed the ladder was loose and was on her tail when the ladder fell, narrowly missing him. As the woman experienced, losses can compound: loss of ladder, plus loss of face, plus loss of money from her bank account. But sometimes people are desperate to experience a loss: those kilos that hang on like a limpet on a rock; the telemarketer who rings at dinnertime; or the ute driver who sits too close on the motorway. Such imposts should just go get good and lost. Sometimes lost things are seemingly waiting to be found: the discovery of a long-lost earring on the eve of a special dinner; the Christmas biscuit cutter found lodged behind a drawer just as the yuletide season looms; a favourite childhood book located in the bottom of a box just in time for a grandchild’s arrival. My favourite is putting a hand in a jeans pocket and finding that what feels like a receipt is actually a $20 note. Losses certainly can have a ripple effect. After all, when we are eventually lost to the world, all people are remembered by what they leave behind.

Dr Jane Stephens is a UniSC journalism lecturer, media commentator and writer.

am very easily confused, which has been a lifelong trait. I have the concentration span of a five-year-old and a memory like a goldfish. There are a few things currently that continue to baffle me. Just last week, I read where a major car company was saying that Australia, because of its size, should have a mix of hybrid and all electric – not like some other nations that are going full-on electric. In the same publication, I read where our state government has a plan to spend $42 million on charging stations throughout the state, quoted as “one every 150km throughout the state”. Now, this has been a constant source of worry for me. It has given me a lingering headache. It seems our state doesn’t agree with the world-leading car company – that’s baffling. Then, my head really hurt when I started thinking about the $42 million and a charger every 150km in this vast state. I could just imagine the trip between Longreach and Winton. About 30km short of Winton, Old Mate must pull up and charge his electric 4 x 4 while his pig dogs sit there staring at him. I think they will need a way bigger budget and longer than

the three years they promised it in. Is that ever going to happen? To add to my confusion is that I continue to read that batteries – the making of them and the disposing of them – are worse for the environment than combustion engines, depending on who is telling the story. So, I go around and around in my own little fish bowl. The good thing after a while is that my headache disappears as I forget what was worrying me (which is slightly worrying). It’s a bit like in the morning when I must smell under my armpits to figure out whether I put deodorant on. The next thing that confuses me is the passion we seem to have for everyone to operate in a cashless economy which, to my tiny brain, means banks get richer with their fees, but small businesses’ bottom line gets smaller. How does that make any sense? I am just really lucky that there are plenty of shiny things to look at in my little fish bowl world. It takes my attention away from worrying about stuff, which is probably A-OK with the politicians.

MY OPINION

IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS Sami Muirhead is remembering to give us all some feel-good vibes through a trifecta of stories to make our hearts sing as she counts down to Christmas.

have a triple treat for you this week with a trifecta of happy stories. There is a new café in Japan called The Restaurant of Mistaken Orders and I am here for it. You ask for dumplings but you may get miso soup. You may think it is crazy but it’s a restaurant where they almost guarantee your order will be muddled up. And yet, customers keep going back because they love it so much. Many of the staff of this innovative place are living with dementia. They may or may not get the orders right, but the message is that we can be more accepting of everyone. Having dementia is not a flaw: it is, in fact, the feature of the cafe and the main requirement to get a job there. How fabulously refreshing. The project presents people living with dementia as happy, hard working, helpful and gracious. And instead of reacting to dementia as frightening, the customers describe their experience as fun, engaging and incredibly satisfying. During one sitting, 37 per cent of orders were totally mixed up and yet 99 per cent of customers said they were happy with their meal. My second serving of ‘happy’ this week comes in the form of a new collaboration

between Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus. The Wrecking Ball duet gives me chills in a good way as Dolly puts her iconic spin on her goddaughter’s tune. I cannot get enough of this duo who have added a special twist to the end, bringing in a few verses from I Will Always Love You. And finally for my triple treat, I implore you to put your Christmas tree up as soon as possible. Run, do not walk.

“You ask for dumplings but you may get miso soup” Some experts claim we ‘Christmas tragics’ who put up our decorations earlier than others tend to be happier and friendlier. These psychologists claim decorating before December spikes dopamine: the feel-good hormone. They say the colours and light act as chromotherapy, also known as colour therapy. Others say it is simply that hanging decorations makes us feel nostalgic. And who doesn’t love a trip down memory lane? So feel free to trim the tree and put on carols and I bet you feel all the good feels.

RADICAL CHANGE NEEDED A severe shortage of housing is at the root of the current crisis, and the situation is likely to get worse before it gets better. WORDS: Mal Cayley.

lose your eyes for a moment and imagine this: you’re homeless. The streets of the Sunshine Coast that once welcomed you with open arms have now become your makeshift home, the stars your only roof. You’re not alone. There are many who share your fate and they’re not here by choice. They’re here because we’re in the grip of a housing crisis. This issue has expanded beyond a few individuals and now affects everyone, including the affluent, highlighting a massive supply crisis rather than just affordability. I’ve spent the past two decades in the property market, watching it evolve and predicting the issues we face today. In 2013, I warned about the rental crisis we now find ourselves in. It’s not a prediction I’m proud of: it’s a call to action. In 2016, the Census reported fewer than 800 homeless individuals on the Sunshine Coast. By 2021, this number had risen to over 1200, with local research suggesting the actual figure may be closer to 3000. If current trends persist, it’s predicted that by 2024, homelessness could exceed one per cent of the population. Homelessness and the rise of homelessness is not a personal failure, it’s a policy failure. The root cause of this crisis is a severe shortage of housing. Direct Collective research indicates that more than 8000 homes are needed immediately to balance the market. The Draft South East Queensland Regional Plan calls for an additional 80,000 homes by 2043 – a number our research shows is a significant underestimation. However, even if we go with this number, the plan suggests 24,000 homes in ‘expansion’ areas

and 56,000 in ‘infill’ spaces. Yet, due to supply constraints, our predictions show we are likely to deliver 21,000 in expansion and 14,000 in infill at best. This leaves a deficit of more than 35,000 homes, possibly exceeding 40,000 if the regional plan’s population target is too low. Like we’ve already seen happening in Brisbane, permanent tent villages or shanty towns will start to emerge in 2024. They will be an accepted form of accommodation by the 2032 Olympics. Homes for Everyone aims to raise awareness of the crisis’s social impact, its underlying causes, potential solutions and the dire consequences on the horizon. Radical change is needed. Together, we have the power to create a safer, more compassionate future for the Sunshine Coast. Remember that the people impacted by our housing and rental crisis are our neighbours. Their children go to school with your children and they are deserving members of our community who need empathy, respect and support but, above all, solutions. I also co-host the Homes for Everyone Podcast where we share the real stories of those impacted by the housing and homeless crisis on the Coast and the perspectives of those supporting them.

SINGLE DAD ESCAPES PAINKILLER COCKTAIL WITH NEW TREATMENT

health

THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER

s a hearing aid a good Christmas gift? Probably not. But when you think about it as the gift of better hearing, it’s a totally different thing. Hearing loss creeps up on you. It is one of those health issues that doesn’t hurt or bleed, so it tends to be shuffled to the back of your list of health concerns. Hearing loss is not just in the domain of ‘old’ people. In our clinic, we see plenty of 40-year-olds who are sick of missing out. There are so many recognised qualityof-life impacts that hearing loss contributes

to. First and foremost is the direct relationship between untreated hearing loss and early onset dementia. Early intervention in treating hearing loss is extremely beneficial in delaying symptoms. There is also the connection between hearing loss and social isolation leading to depression. Statistically, if you have an untreated hearing loss, you have a much higher rate of falls leading to hospital visits. Hearing better means living better. Now, we don’t suggest you go out and randomly buy a hearing aid for a loved one.

A Tewantin man who suffered a back injury can now play with his children and ditch the painkillers. It’s thanks to an exciting new medical innovation, enabling him to escape years of pain and to be the father he always dreamed of. After suffering a crippling back injury followed by surgery in 2012, Colin Ladewig was taking a dangerous cocktail of painkillers to enable him to look after his three young children and keep food on the table. “As the sole carer to my children after losing my wife to Lupus, I lived in excruciating pain for eight years,” Colin says. “Unable to work in full capacity or even bend down to tie my shoelaces, I was living a half-life: stuck deep in the shadows of pain, unable to play with my kids or be the father I knew they deserved.” Colin’s pain specialist was helping to manage the pain through a raft of different prescription medication, and he was looking down the barrel of another surgery in order to get some sort of pain-free life back. “I was in a state of absolute despair when a friend suggested I try ANF Therapy,”

Having exhausted all my other options and with the pain still raging in my back, I took a punt and went to Cluzie Clinic. “After the first treatment, I was gobsmacked as I could almost reach my toes – something I hadn’t been able to do in eight years. “After three treatments, I couldn’t believe the difference. The pain was so heavily reduced, I was able to start weaning myself off the prescription drugs and had almost full mobility back. “Now, six months later, I am completely pain-free, able to work and enjoy all the activities with my kids. “I have returned to work full-time and completely turned my life around, all thanks to Claire and the team at Cluzie Clinic.” ANF Therapy is a medical innovation new to Australia, based on the work of scientists and European clinicians in the field of Frequency Medicine. Offered on the Sunshine Coast at holistic health service the Cluzie Clinic, leading clinical nurse consultant Claire Dunkley says it’s a powerful yet completely natural way to reduce inflammation and help the body heal. “We’re all familiar with an ECG which

What many don’t realise is that our whole body is made up of these types of electrical currents,” she says. “Just like a defibrillator resets the hearts rhythm, ANF medical devices reset the other frequencies inside the body. “Using the frequencies and nerve channels of the body, we can target inflammation and help reset rhythms that aren’t operating optimally from injury, trauma, stress, toxins or a range of issues.” It’s being heralded as a new-age solution to an age-old problem of pain. It could be the modern-day solution to pain, inflammation and disease that doesn’t require drugs, needles or medical interventions. Visitcluzie.com or phone 5329 7905.

Early Melanoma Detection with 3D Total Body Photography The tool in the ﬁght against skin cancer is here now Finding new or changing moles is key to catching melanoma skin cancer early. It is believed that about 30% of melanomas are found only because they are new or changing – not because they look like melanomas. 3D Total Body Photography (TBP) is an unparalleled high-resolution imaging tool using 92 cameras and specialised cross-polarised ﬂash photography. All the cameras go off at once, taking just seconds to do. The 3D avatar is then created in just seven minutes. The avatar can be moved and rotated on high-resolution screens. Moles can be monitored from every angle and displayed alongside separate high images for accurate assessment. Computer analysis of repeat images helps to highlight and quantify change. This tool supports the clinical skin check and mole assessment. Not only does 3D TBP help us to spot melanoma early, it can also help reduce avoidable biopsies. Unchanging moles can be safely left.

Who should have 3D Total Body Photography (TBP)? According to the Melanoma Institute of Australia, TBP might be appropriate if you have any of the following: • many moles on your skin (>100 – count them!) • many moles that are large, unusual colours or shapes • moles on your back that are difficult to see change • a previous history of melanoma • a strong family history of melanoma • fair skin that has been severely or repeatedly sunburned. How to book 3D TBP Call the friendly team at SunLife on 07 5450 9808 for information and bookings. No referral needed. Or book a skin check only appointment online at www.sunlifeskincancer.com.au/bookings. At your skin check, your skin cancer doctor will do a risk assessment, give prevention advice, and perform thorough check. They can answer questions about 3D TBP and help you decide if it is right for you.

FIRST THINGS FIRST When starting to learn a new discipline – be it a musical instrument, sport or craft, the approach is universal. Start with the core knowledge and skills, acquire them and advance from there. There are no magic bullets, and the advertisements for ‘instant results’ and ‘five-minute abs’ do not deliver what they promise. Healthcare is no different. Whether you are recovering from an injury or managing a chronic disease, the beginning is acquiring knowledge and

basic skills to treat the issue. Then, more knowledge and skills can be added. Health practitioners have an array of knowledge and skills to impart to patients, coupled with a variety of medications, procedures and operations. There is a hierarchy to these treatments, however. Many treatments are powerful. But with great power comes great responsibility. The more powerful treatments are more invasive, have greater risks or costs, and can be overused on people who need less dramatic intervention. The more powerful treatments also build on what comes before. Anterior cruciate ligament tears are common sporting injuries. A proportion of patients with such tears recover sufficiently for their needs with physiotherapy and rehabilitation. For those who do not, the time spent preparing the muscles and joints, and learning the skills of retraining improves their results and the journey of surgery. The promise of a ‘quick procedure’ or a magic-bullet short-cut without any need for personal learning and effort can be tempting but is usually illusory. In life, first things first. Dr Hamish Gray is at Sunshine Coast Joint Surgery. Call 5438 3500 or visit sunshinecoastjointsurgery.com.au

FLASHES AND FLOATERS The retina is the inner surface of the eye that converts light into vision. If the retina is damaged, patients may become aware of new white or yellow flashing lights in their peripheral vision, black floaters or peripheral vision loss. Although many people experience floating dots from a young age, flashes and floaters can occur due to a process called Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD). A PVD occurs as the jelly (vitreous) within the eye ages and begins to shrink. When this happens, the jelly separates from the retina. Usually the jelly comes away cleanly and the flashing lights and

floaters settle down by themselves. Sometimes, however, as the jelly pulls away, it can damage the retina by causing a retinal tear and, if untreated, a retinal detachment. All patients with new flashes and floaters should be seen urgently by an optometrist or ophthalmologist to exclude a retinal tear or detachment. If a retinal tear is found, it can be lasered by an ophthalmologist to reduce the risk of a retinal detachment developing. If a retinal detachment occurs, this can cause permanent blindness and usually requires urgent surgery performed by a vitreoretinal surgeon. Black floaters are often described as ‘dots’, ‘insects’ or ‘cobwebs’. They usually resolve within a few months. However, sometimes they can last for much longer. Although unlikely to cause harm, chronic floaters can be bothersome and even affect the central vision. If they have been persistent for more than six months, then a vitreoretinal surgeon can remove them with a surgical procedure called a vitrectomy. WORDS: Dr Warren Apel.

THREE STEPS TO EARLY SKIN CANCER DETECTION Here on the Sunshine Coast, we have some of the highest rates of melanoma and skin cancer in the world. These days, more of us take steps to protect ourselves and reduce that risk. That is great. But when skin cancer happens, how can we find it early before it causes harm? Step 1, self-check – Check your own skin every one to two months. Look for anything sore, changing, abnormal or new that doesn’t go away after four to six weeks. Remember to use a mirror or a loved one for hard-to-see places. Fast-growing skin cancers are the easiest to spot. Step 2, skin check – Get a thorough skin check with an experienced skin

cancer doctor. A personal risk assessment and ongoing care plan at your check will let you know how often to do this. Your skin cancer doctor will check all your spots with a scope, looking for hard-to-see cancers. Step 3, imaging – 3D Total Body Photography is an amazing new tool to help identify changing moles earlier. It can be used if you have higher risk of melanoma (such as many moles, complex moles, previous melanoma or close family history). It is believed that about 30 per cent of melanomas are found because they are new or changing. SunLife staff are passionate about finding skin cancer, getting it treated and keeping you safe. This is why we offer everything from thorough skin checks to skin cancer treatment and advanced skin cancer imaging – all under one roof in our modern, custom-designed care centre. You can book a skin check with a dedicated and experienced skin cancer doctor online today, or call for information and bookings for 3D Total Body Photography. No referral is needed.

Dispelling the myths about CPAP therapy

When it’s time for a joint replacement

Are you a snorer and often struggling with fatigue? Sleep apnea affects millions as well as their partners and CPAP therapy is the gold standard for treatment. Still, common myths often deter people from doing something about it. Myth 1: CPAP machines are loud. Truth: Most modern CPAP devices are whisper quiet. Most of the time, you can’t even tell they are on. The newest masks are lightweight and if they are sized and fitted correctly this combination will transform the bedroom to a quiet tranquil space. Myth 2: CPAP therapy is only for severe cases. Truth: Whether your sleep apnea is mild, moderate or severe, CPAP therapy benefits all levels. It effectively opens your airway, reducing snoring, improving sleep quality and enhancing quality of life. Myth 3: CPAP therapy is only for old people. Truth: Sleep apnea can affect anyone, from children to the elderly. Typically, we see people starting on CPAP therapy from as early as their late teens. Don’t let misinformation hold you back. Chat with one of our clinicians free of charge about getting the mojo back in your life.

Patients with symptomatic hip and knee osteoarthritis will often ask me if they should have joint replacement surgery. This decision comes down to a balance of risk versus benefit. Considerations in this analysis include the severity of the pain, the impact on their quality of life, activity profile, age, other health problems, as well as having appropriate attempts to manage the problem non-operatively. If the potential risks are higher than the potential benefits, I will inform patients they are not a candidate for surgery. We will then have a long conversation about the non-operative measures they can take to improve their quality of life. When patients are candidates for joint replacement surgery, I always present the non-operative options as well as inform them about the risks and benefits of the surgery. It is never for me to tell patients when it is the right time to have elective surgery. This is an intensely personal decision with so many factors. Only the patient knows when the time is right.

WORD STEP

_____ _____ _____ _____ STARS

TAURUS (APR 20 - MAY 20)

On Monday, you’ll find being resourceful pays off well at work. Tuesday and Thursday favour creative ideas and thorough research. On the weekend there’s a Mars/Uranus opposition so don’t blow your budget with a spontaneous spending spree.

Your ruler Venus transits through Libra which highlights food, fashion, wine and good times. But remember adventurous Jupiter and disruptive Uranus are still charging through your sign, so expect some thrills and spills along the way. VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)

LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)

SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)

Are your goals for the future ambitious enough? This week there’s no room for modesty or passive procrastination. The sun, Mercury and Mars also stimulate your thought processes and encourage you to come up with a cracking plan and stick to it.

With Venus (your power planet) trining Pluto and then transiting into your sign, you’ll be at your magnetic and charming best. So it’s a wonderful week to create, collaborate and communicate, in your charming Libran way.

Things are intense at Casa Scorpio as the sun, Mercury and Mars visit your sign. Pluto makes positive aspects to Venus and Mercury, so passion is high and you’re in the mood to listen. But look out anyone who tries to knock you off your chosen course.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)

PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)

You’ll experience the greatest satisfaction if you share your goals and dreams with like-minded colleagues and friends. Group projects and creative collaborations are favoured. But this week’s stars could also disrupt your daily routine or stir up an old health issue.

Fault-finding Saturn could exacerbate a problem with a friend, neighbour or family member. But hopefully Mercury and Venus will come to the rescue and teach you an important celestial lesson. It’s important to take baby steps.

The Mars/Uranus opposition could stir up your restless and reckless side, as you unleash your Inner Rebel. But try to do so in appropriate ways that don’t upset loved ones, antagonise authority figures, or endanger your personal safety.

With the sun, Mercury and Mars activating your aspirations zone, it’s a wonderful week to dream big dreams and set ambitious goals for the future. But family and friends must be handled with an extra big dollop of diplomacy and discretion.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

Okay, my waved-starved friends, things are still looking grim. That said, last weekend did have a few surprises with weak wind swell. So get what you can and maybe consider grabbing a foamie from the beach beat crew, they are a lot of fun. The devil wind will be joining us this weekend by the looks of it so get up super early and beat him to the punch. Him? Maybe its a her? Maybe it identifies as a donkey? What a crazy world. Enjoy the ocean!
