Parking charge fears stoke planning debate village comment MIKE O’CONNOR

to ensure that surrounding streets did not become further congested.

“It would also be my hope that the community would have their say on any master plan through community consultation,” Cr Howard said.

Obviously any plans to charge people to use the car park, which is owned by the Brisbane City Council, would see additional pressure put on kerbside parking in the surrounding streets.

In his statement, Mr Conry said the Powerhouse valued its relationship with the local community and “will fully engage the community through a strong consultative process.”

Any consultation with the community would, I am certain, reveal firm opposition to any such proposal while any move by the board to improve easily accessible public transport to the venue would be applauded.

The Powerhouse is ultimately owned by the people of Brisbane.

Let visiting ratepayers continue to park free of charge and don’t subject those in the surrounding streets to a negative impact on their lifestyle.

Phone tower riles residents Residents of the River Quays complex in New Farm are fighting for more trees to be planted around a Telstra service tower some say is an eyesore.

The tower used to be covered by a large tree, which was reportedly cut down due its size and impact on traffic safety.

Annette, a resident of River Quays Apartments on Merthyr Road, said

she wished more vegetation could be put in front of the tower.

“I said to (Telstra) that I would take care of the tree, go in there with a rake and tidy up, but then the tree was gone,” she said.

“It pains me to see it gone. They could have cut it down halfway but instead they got rid of it entirely.” ► Turn to Page 5 to read further.

Telstra did not respond to questions posed by the Village News about whether there were any plans to replant trees or otherwise cover the tower.

Responding to concerns about rubbish around the tower May Boisen, Telstra’s area general manager, said that the site was subject to a regular grounds and infrastructure maintenance program.

“From time to time various factors including weather interrupt this program and we thank the community for advising us of their concerns on this occasion,” Ms Boisen said.

“The Merthyr Road site has since been mowed and cleaned.”

Locals have also come forward with complaints of poor Telstra reception indoors on the eastern part of the peninsula.

Telstra said it had rolled out mobile Wi-Fi calling since Village News last contacted them about the issue, with the area already covered by 4GX mobile service.

Wallace Bishop plans to develop site

BY TIMOTHY SWANSTON Brisbane T W

A new retail and food precinct is on the cards at Teneriffe, with Wallace Bishop recently lodging an application with council to develop their existing site.

If the application is approved, the Wallace Bishop site at the corner of Commercial Road and Doggett street would be developed to include two retail shops, three food outlets and the accommodation of outdoor dining, adjacent to their existing offices.

The shops would replace a raised garden at the site, with the property owners seeking to revitalise the site and improve the activation of Commercial road.

Urban planner and president of the Teneriffe Progress Association Ben Pritchard is in two minds about the development.

“It’s basically a carpark at the moment – it’s not a very well-used space,” Mr Pritchard said.

“At first I thought that (the proposed development) would be too busy for

In the fast lane to gold

BY THOMAS MORGAN

Rafael, Teresa and Genevieve Marufu.

New bub in deli family Teresa Marutu, local mum and daughter of New Farm Deli owners Vince and Maria Anello, has just welcomed her second child, Genevieve.

Ms Marutu, who grew up in the area, said that New Farm was such a wonderful area to raise children because everything’s in one place.

“One of the greatest things about this area is that my family is so close by. We’re a very family orientated, close-knit family with a supportive network,” Ms Marutu said.

“It’s also a great area to live in because it’s so easy to get to anywhere else in the inner city.”

Genevieve was born at the Royal Brisbane Hospital on March 21, weighing in at 3.7kg (8lb 4oz).

Two young athletes from the Fortitude Valley Pool’s Commercial swimming club are heading to the Bahamas next month after making a splash earlier this year.

Fifteen-year-old Ela Noble of New Farm came first in the under-14 category of the 50m freestyle at the national championships, despite being a relative newcomer to competitive swimming.

“I started racing when I was 12 – it felt really good!” Noble said.

Her partner at the Valley pool, Meg Harris, also performed swimmingly, placing second in the 15-year-old 50m freestyle.

It will be a short turnaround for the girls as they pack their bags for the Commonwealth Youth Games, held next month.

“They picked us on our performance at nationals this year,” Noble said.

“We were pretty excited when we were picked (to go)”.

Their coach, Michael Bromley, said

Coach Michael Bromley with Commercial’s Ela Noble and Meg Harris

their performances were encouraging.

“They’re ranked seventeenth and eighteenth in the world for 17s and under,” Mr Bromley said.

“But they’re only 15 years old so that’s pretty good,” he said.

They will head to the Bahamas alongside 12 other young swimmers to face competitors from around the world.

“Kids thrive on a bit of competition,” Mr Bromley said.

The girls have set their sights higher than just the Caribbean.

“We want to go as far as we can go – to the Olympics,” Noble said.

“To win!” Harris chimed in.

The girls are following in the footsteps of the famous Campbell sisters, who also trained at Commercial until recently.

The sisters have been a massive success for the club, with Cate Campbell winning gold at the 2016

Rio Olympics.

Mr Bromley works with the Campbell sisters’ coach and said practice is key for Noble and Harris to secure a win.

“They say you need 10,000 hours of practice before you master something,” he said.

While the girls have high hopes for their futures, their coach says they still need to focus on their other responsibilities.

“At the end of the day, they’re still kids – you don’t want to push them too hard.”

Despite training seven times a week, including on Saturday and Monday mornings, Noble said balance would be important as they entered Year 11.

“You have got to get stuff done when you have time, because otherwise you fall behind,” she said.

Pet, parking and smokes laws under microscope

BY MIKE O’CONNOR Changes to body-corporate rules governing parking, pets, the redevelopment of existing apartments, smoking and overcrowding are among those being considered by the State Government.

A recent public meeting held in Newstead by the member for Brisbane Central, Grace Grace, was told that several recommendations were being considered.

Where a body corporate has appropriate by-laws and erected appropriate signage, it is proposed it can have an illegally parked vehicle towed after sufficient notice has been given or immediately – without notice – if the vehicle blocks access.

If the body corporate follows the correct guidelines, it is recommended that it not be liable for any loss or damage to the vehicle or any towing or storage costs.

The keeping of pets could be prohibited if the original owner of the unit includes such a by-law in the first community management statement or if the body corporate adopts a by-law banning pets without a dissenting vote.

Any no-pets by-law would not be permitted to operate retrospectively.

Similarly, smoking in private outdoor areas such as balconies or courtyards might be banned.

The recommendation is that smoking could be prohibited if the original owner includes such a by-law

in the first community management statement or if the body corporate adopts such a by-law without dissent.

This would require a change to the powers of the body corporate so that any such ban could not be found to be unreasonable or oppressive.

Where overcrowding in an apartment is suspected, it is recommended that the body corporate should have the power to report this to the local council or fire service.

If the council or fire service cannot get permission from the unit occupier to enter the unit, it is recommended that the body corporate be able to give consent to enter the unit on behalf of the occupier.

It is also proposed that an amended Body Corporate Community and Management Act allow body corporates to impose fines on unit owners and occupiers who continue to breach by-laws.

If a fine incurred by a tenant remains unpaid, then it is proposed that the body corporate may recover the fine from the unit owner.

One of the more controversial recommendations relates to laws about the redevelopment of an existing block of units.

At the moment, an existing development cannot be sold unless all the owners agree.

Under the proposed changes, only 75 per cent of the lot’s owners would need to agree.

Dissenting owners would have 120 days to apply to the District Court to have the sale blocked.

The recommendations are contained in a report commissioned by the State Government from the Queensland University of Technology’s Commercial and Property Law Research Centre.

Due to the complexity of the issues involved, no legislative changes are expected until late this year or, more probably, next year.

Bris Central now McConnel The Electoral Commission of Queensland has recently changed the name of the inner-city electoral district from Brisbane Central to McConnel in a statewide redistribution.

Brisbane Central MP, Grace Grace, ran a campaign to keep the electorate called “Brisbane Central”.

“Look, I’m a little bit disappointed but I respect the decision of the QEC and looking forward to running at the seat of McConnel at the next election,” Ms Grace said.

“I still think that Queensland deserves to have its capital-located seat named after the capital of the state,” she said.

“I’d like to thank everyone who put in submissions and gave support to the campaign to keep the name.”

McConnel is named after Mary McConnel, who established Queensland’s first children’s hospital and in 1878 founded Queensland’s first public school.

Megan Cairney with Di Robinson, Ian Malouf and Richard Malouf.

Cents make sense Malouf Pharmacies has donated $5000 to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) to generate awareness and reduce the impact of prostate cancer on Australian men and their families.

Richard Malouf said the pharmacy group recently ran an in-store promotion across their 17 Queensland stores, whereby 10 cents from each sale of a selected range of Chemists’ Own products were donated to PCFA. Mr Malouf said the donation would be allocated to the Specialist Nursing Service and make a vital contribution to the essential work that these specialist nurses undertake to support men.

PCFA’s national prostate cancer

nurse program focuses on providing nurses, in both metropolitan and regional Australia, who can offer clinical and supportive care to men with prostate cancer.

“This donation from Malouf Pharmacies, with the support of their loyal customers, means the world to the men and their families we support every day,” says Megan Cairney, state manager of PCFA Queensland.

“Having a specialist nurse to help answer questions and abate fears can mean the difference between a man and his family coping with a prostate cancer diagnosis or finding it incredibility difficult and overwhelming.”

All-wheel drive for hero Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane has release its Hero Image for 2017.

The image will feature across all Fashion Festival branding this year and captures what organisers say is the renewed festival’s fresh, forwardlooking vibe.

The image features Lilli Tronc Robinson, of Dallys models.

Lilli wears an Italian jacquard cropped theatre jacket and silk faille lounge pants designed by Queensland fashion favourite Paul Hunt, and styled for the shoot by Kimberly Gardner.

The image, shot by Ian Golding, was taken at Old Government House, George Street.

Lilli’s look was created by Schwarzkopf Professional and Napoleon Perdis, and topped off with exquisite jewels by McKinney’s.

Lilli models alongside the all-new 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe,

provided by the principal partner of the festival.

“This year we have taken a very strong and modern approach to the Hero Image,” says festival director Lindsay Bennett.

“From the relaxed, evening chic outfit by Paul Hunt to the sleek, state-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz, the team have put together a really eyecatching and high-fashion image.”

The full 2017 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane program and participating designers will be released on Thursday June 1. Tickets go on sale the same day, via www. mbff.com.au or QTIX.

BETH J LEACH I had a “Should have gone to Specsavers” moment last week when, glasses-less, I squeezed my roast potato over my grilled salmon.

Maybe it’s the accumulation of a few moments like this and a couple of mispronunciations of new, slang words in the English language that have led to my children teasing me lovingly about being a “dag”.

Me? Hang on. I’m cool! Trust me.

I know these things. You’re kidding, right, kids?

Well, I’m not going to sit here and justify myself.

You weren’t around when I used to wear that little blue dress with cowboy boots.

Or when I worked in Sloane Square.

Or when I was a flautist on Bond Street.

I’ve lived. What about that time I died my hair platinum blonde. Does that count?

Hugh? Done anything like that lately?

Well, OK, neither have I, but I could, if I wanted to.

They didn’t see me in my daredevil youth or in many of the moments in my life that could even possibly be considered cool and I won’t list those moments (take no notice of the fourth paragraph) for that in itself is the opposite of “cool”.

I know what you’re thinking. It’s hard to believe a young person would ever think they know everything there is to know about everything. I hear you.

The simple truth is that one day we all grow old.

And when that happens, one of the most important lessons in life is revealed: that everyone has a story.

Everyone’s journey is different and the snapshot you see of that person at that time is not how they were yesterday and it’s not how they’ll be tomorrow.

So I squeeze potatoes on my fish?

My essence is still the same as it was when I was younger.

I just have more responsibility now and go a bit slower, except on the dance floor.

I’m not really trying to channel “cool” at this point in my life.

My happiness comes from the different roles I play, such as being an awesome Mum, a hard worker and a great wife. Can someone please pass my glasses?

Wharf project to start The redevelopment of Brisbane’s last remaining city-centre wharf site is set to begin, with construction of the $110 million Howard Smith Wharves Revitalisation project commencing this month.

The 3.43-hectare site will feature a luxury hotel, park and public open spaces.

“The existing heritage-listed buildings will form a feature of the redevelopment and, once meticulously restored, will

become home to lively river’s edge restaurants, bars, a craft brewery and function spaces,” Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said.

Around 80 per cent of the total site will be public parkland and open space and will be easily accessible from the Riverwalk, or through two new cliff-face lifts at Bowen Terrace and Wilson’s Outlook.

Works are expected to be completed by late next year.

Crowdfunding for health

Dinner with a conscience

A local resident has turned to the community to ensure her mother gets the care she needs.

Kangaroo Point’s Ashleigh Tyler (pictured) has established a GoFundMe page online to raise $20,000 for her mother’s care in Scotland, after she was diagnosed with early onset dementia in 2014.

“Unfortunately, the government does not have the resources to provide the sort of care we needed,” Ms Tyler said.

“My father did some research and came across the Alzheimer’s Scotland webpage and they basically promoted at-home care,” she said.

“The goal is to get all the moving costs at this end sorted and then be able to provide enough money for her to get the right housing and health care she needs.”

The campaign for Ms Tyler’s mother Loretta had raised almost $5000 (at the time of publication) with hopes to reach the $20,000 goal by September.

Loretta worked in the public service before her diagnosis at age 54.

Getting Loretta into the right kind of care is crucial for the family and especially for Ms Tyler’s father as he gave up work to care for Loretta.

The Patrons of New Farm, a socially conscious group of Peninsula residents, will hold their next event, a “Winter’s Evening at Simla” this month.

Dr Jennifer Egan, co-convenor of the Patrons of New Farm, said these events were a great way to make friendships with people who have similar values about social contribution.

“These evenings are a great way for people to come and join the Patrons of New Farm to find out how they can participate and get involved in giving back to community,” Dr Egan said.

“New Farm has a lot to offer people and is made all the better by residents with a social conscience coming together to make meaningful connections.”

On the night guest speaker Pat Cazalet will share his story of new beginnings after a battle with heroin addiction, interviewed by New Farm Neighbourhood Centre’s Phil Neill.

Adding to the night’s entertainment will be the auctioning of an experience with My Kitchen Rules finalist Val Ferdinands, a Patron of New Farm.

The MKR finalist’s “Fine Dining Experience with Spice” for eight people will be held at her Tiffin room in New Farm, with all proceeds from

Ms Tyler hopes the care provided in Scotland would be more appropriate for their circumstances.

“My dad was faced with a very difficult decision at the start of the year,” she said.

“Her condition was deteriorating very quickly”.

The response from friends and colleagues of Ms Tyler’s mother had been welcome, she said.

“We’ve had a very positive reaction towards the GoFundMe. “Everyone who has worked with my mother has been saddened by what has happened.”

All the money received will go towards covering flights, accommodation and additional care for Loretta.

Catholic primary opens new buildings

BY TIM SWANSTON St Joseph’s Catholic Primary have finished their exciting master planning and building process, recently opening their latest building with administration facilities and state-ofthe-art classrooms.

Principal of St Joseph’s Micheal O’Sullivan said the building had been funded through school contribution and the state government.

“This will take the school to a twostream school – so that we will have two classes all the way from Prep to Year 6,” Mr O’Sullivan said.

“We have a high demand for enrolments, so filling spaces in classrooms now really isn’t a problem,” he said.

“We have been really careful not to lose the great things that come with being a small school. We’re becoming a larger school but we’ve kept a strong sense of community here.”

The classrooms are collaborative learning spaces, with breakout

spaces and a focus on 21st century learning skills.

The furniture in the classrooms allows for a flexible learning environment and students are encouraged to move the furniture to cater for different collaborative situations and learning needs.

Since the new facilities have been built, the difference in school learning has been evident in student results and the enthusiasm of students.

The building also has a more welcoming reception area.

St Joseph’s currently caters for 324 students, with the parents of students reporting great feedback about the new development.

“There were huge adjustments that we had to make on all angles to staff parking off-site and earlier pick up times – it poses lots of issues working on a small site,” Mr O’Sullivan said.

“The positive comments have been really great - it’s a very supportive community.”

WIN Val and Courtney’s “Fine Dining Experience with Spice” for eight.

the auction going to support the efforts of the Patrons.

The winter evening will be held on Wednesday June 14 from 5:307:30pm, with tickets costing $50pp.

Tickets can be purchased by emailing patrons@outlook.com.au Patrons are welcome to kick on with dinner at Spicers Balfour.

Bookings are essential - phone 3358 8888 and book under the name “Patrons of New Farm”.

Hundreds make lunch ‘best yet’ New Farm Deli’s Long Lunch fed 432 people on the Labour Day holiday.

This was the third annual long lunch, inspired by the “Funk ‘n Focaccia” lunches held by the deli in the 1990s.

Owners Maria and Vince Anello said it had been their best yet.

“We’re absolutely happy with how it went,” Mr Anello said.

“Our new kitchen and facilities mean that we had much more room to host and serve.

“We got the same feedback that we did last year – that it was absolutely brilliant and people are already asking us if they can book again!” Ms Anello said.

Maria & Vince Anello Staff served up 108 entrée platters, 216 pasta platters, 216 salad bowls, 35kg of parmesan and more than 100kg of Diamantina rib fillet supplied by Stanbroke.

Attendees of the lunch drank what has been described as an “immeasurable” amount of wine.

The event was booked out within five days of ticket release, demonstrating the tour de force that is the New Farm Deli.

Matthew Sorbello from Merthyr Village Centre Management said that the event was tremendous.

“The Long Lunch is a fabulous event that showcases not only the New Farm Deli, but also the strength of our wonderful New Farm community,” Mr Sorbello said.

“Credit must be given to Vince and Maria Anello and everyone that worked behind the scenes including our event organisers and the Deli’s amazing staff. Also to all of our wonderful Merthyr Village businesses for their contribution to our raffle which raised $5,600 for the City-New Farm Sub-Branch of the RSL.”

Footy hero now a legend in print

BY ANNEMARIE WHITE Robert Allen

It has taken New Farm writer Robert Allen 10 years to write his first book, Cazaly, the Legend but while it seems a long time penning the story of an Aussie Rules footballer who played in the first decades of the 1900s, this is much more than a sporting biography.

“I wanted to write not only about sporting icon Roy Cazaly but to put his life as a man into the context of what was happening around him, locally in Melbourne, nationally in Australia and even internationally,” said Allen.

“This book for me became more of a social history, straddling academic research with popular writing, than just an interesting personal description of Cazaly.

“I see it as the life story of a local Aussie Rules footballing hero set in the ever-changing cultural landscape of early Australia.”

The 428-page book is not a lightweight read about the player who despite his small stature had the seemingly superhuman ability to take high flying marks.

The chant by his South Melbourne team mates of “Up there Cazaly” captured a nation and ensured his place in 1996 as one of the inaugural immortal legends in the AFL Hall of Fame.

It is an amazingly detailed and extensively researched tome that enthrals and educates, indicated by the 1262 reference notes included.

Formatted to replicate an AFL match, the 34 chapters begin with Before the Game, then travels through each of the Four Quarters and fittingly ends with The Final Siren.

“Although Cazaly was an outstanding footballer and coach, he was really a Renaissance man

who off the field, found himself influencing a diverse group of people through his high moral code, his healing work as an early-style physio, a dedicated father and grandfather and almost a politician.

“The more I delved into his life, the more I found the essence of the man influencing me and my own life decisions.”

For those who don’t follow AFL, the song Up There Cazaly celebrated an Aussie icon.

Written by Mike Brady in 1979 as a jingle to encourage fans to watch AFL, rivalling Cricket’s Come On Aussie, the catchy song quickly surpassed Slim Dusty’s Pub with No Beer as the highest selling single in Australian history and etched Cazaly and his famous leap into our cultural vernacular.

Robert said that while the jingle certainly captured the imagination of the modern public, the cry of Up there Cazaly was in common usage from the 1920s.

It transcended sport and was heard as an emotional battle cry by Australian forces during World War II. He also found it fascinating that playwright Ray Lawler used that phrase in his 1953 play, Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, because it was set in Melbourne and Lawler

explained he’d used the phrase because “it was the way people of my generation spoke. It was a common expression that was part and parcel of the slang at the time”.

An early photograph of Cazaly’s high-flying take has been viewed through generations as epitomising the spirit, not only of AFL footballers, but of the culture of ordinary Aussies having a go.

“Interestingly, it is commonly assumed that the giant one-handed snatch was a mark,” explains Robert, carefully not wanting to spoil the folklore and urban myths around the famous photograph.

“But in fact after searching through the old files and images it seems it was more likely a one-handed ruck duel with Cazaly palming the ball to his team mate, Fred Fleiter, who is crouched ready to receive.”

Sometimes it is better not to let the truth spoil a good yarn.

The book, published by Slattery Media, is finally finished and will be launched in July so preorder at your local bookstore.

HISTORY

Help find a photo historical society GERARD BENJAMIN Coolden, the name of the apartment complex on the corner of Brunswick and Langshaw Streets, harks back to an earlier establishment renowned for more than 30 years of wedding receptions.

Even though there’s a chapter about Coolden in Reflections on New Farm, all efforts to obtain a photo of the historic building have proven elusive: can you help?

The reception lounge was a tribute to the energy and resourcefulness of Mrs Elsie Dunstan, who began at the site in 1949 offering her skills as “the city’s most fashionable hairdresser”.

The “Coolden Beauty Lounge” boasted “a sun-drying garden, soft water, wave specialists and stylists” and even a nursery for children.

By November 1950, Elsie was ready for her first major event, a

16

villageNews I June 2017

late-afternoon party given in honour of Australia’s French Consul General, Monsieur Jean Strauss.

The 180 guests enjoyed “seafood, cold poultry, all sorts of savouries and cream-topped dainties, staged in four rooms lavishly decorated with flowers”.

Guests included Mrs H.B. Bonney, the champion aviatrix of Bowen Hills, Archbishop Duhig from across the road at “Wynberg”, and Lord Mayor John Chandler.

Coolden was comprised of two linked buildings.

The original large residence “Ceara” had been built in 1908

by R.K. Miller, later the Brisbane manager of the QN Bank.

The home was back on the market in 1912 when an auction of its extensive contents comprised 237 lots.

“Ceara”’s later owners, the doctor, World War I veteran and MLA for Merthyr, P.J. Kerwin, and his wife, proved that the home was truly suited for entertaining.

When a reception for the 150 guests at their daughter’s wedding was held in 1929, the house was lit with “myriads of coloured electric lights … The decorations in the lounge and reception rooms were Iceland poppies, and huge bowls of orchids and stocks were set in the drawing room, where Dr and Mrs Kerwin received their guests.”

In 1922, Langshaw Flats were built on the southern half of the original “Ceara” property, then sometime during 1931-42, the house was shifted closer to its northern boundary to make way for a brick block of flats on the BrunswickLangshaw Street corner.

It seems that Elsie acquired “Ceara” upon Dr Kerwin’s death in 1950 then bid for the flats at auction, paying £14,800.

She knocked out some of the walls of the flats and turned the building into a private hotel.

Around the early 1960s, she installed a connecting kitchen which lay between the hotel and residence.

The innumerable locals who had their receptions at Coolden may remember them taking place either in the Ballroom, Ancestral Room, Ballerina Room or the Bamboo Room.

Of Brisbane’s relatively few

wedding reception centres during the 1950s-80s (29 Murray Street, Moomba and Wanganui Gardens) Coolden was THE place to be seen and to have your photo appear in the social pages of the newspapers.

After a draft of this article was sent to Elsie Dunstan’s daughter-in-law, she replied: “I recently heard from Lowood Police Station asking if I knew ‘Elsie Alice Dunstan’ and if she’d had any robberies at Coolden.”

Apparently a police investigation had uncovered a packet containing a collection not only of documents but around 30 photographs.

Of these, several showed Elsie as official hairdresser at the first full television broadcast from Lennons Hotel in Brisbane in August 1949.

Alas, none showed an exterior view of Coolden but optimism continues that one will come to light.

Grandparents lose voice senior voice TONY TOWNSEND Issues faced by some grandparents have been recurrent themes of Seniors Voice so it is with some regret that the Queensland Council of Grandparents recently disbanded.

Council had worked to establish support groups for grandparents in special need and publicise their issues while advocating on their behalf since 2004.

An all-volunteer group, QCOGS suffered the all-too familiar pattern faced by many similar organisations with falling membership and inability to fill management roles, despite the need for awareness and resolution of problems faced within the community.

Council operated separately from National Seniors but NSA continues to pursue the issues faced by these grandparents as part of their advocacy for the over 50s.

Commenting on the recent Federal Budget, NSA welcomed

several positive measures including reinstatement of the pensioner concession card lost in the January 1 enforcement of new assets tests.

However, head office felt the budget measure allowing people aged 65 and older to make contributions of up to $300,000 from the sale of their home and purchase of new accommodation into their superannuation did not address other barriers preventing many older Australians, particularly pensioners, from downsizing.

These include concern about sale profits being used in the pension assets test and the availability of suitable housing, particularly rental accommodation.

A recent study by Roy Morgan Research showed Australians love using their mobile phones to call other people but do not always enjoy being contacted themselves.

However, the pleasure of both making and receiving calls declines with age. Would you agree?

In June – the first month of winter – • 10am Thursdays – Learn Mah-jong (Eastern style) at Café 63.

• 6pm Friday June 16 – Dinner at the Brunswick Hotel when we particularly welcome anyone interested in National Seniors.

For all enquiries, please call Val Murphy on 0403 713 040.

Evans reports over 100 mobile booths so far Federal MP Trevor Evans has delivered on his pledge to be accessible, having just held his 100th mobile office less than 12 month since his election.

Mr Evans said that mobile offices were a great way to connect with constituents when he wasn’t stuck in Canberra.

“A lot of people ask me whether there is an election coming up because they see me a lot,” Mr Evans said.

“It’s unfortunate that is the perception of politicians but I have made it my business to meet as many locals as possible and not shy away from the hard conversations we need to have.”

The recent federal budget had some important sticking points for Brisbane residents, which gave increased funding for education and childcare, Medicare,

veterans’ support, the NDIS and incentives for small businesses and unemployed people.

The 26,783 students at the 46 primary and secondary schools in the electorate are set to benefit from increased funding.

Likewise, a dedicated Medicare fund will be established as Brisbane witnesses a record number of people taking up medical services, with 477,263 bulk-bulled GP services in the electorate last financial year.

Reforms to make child care more accessible and affordable will impact on more than the 10,080 families in the electorate that use government supported child care Mr Evans said that having held at least three mobile offices in each suburb of the electorate had informed his opinion of the needs of Brisbane.

“It’s extremely important to get a sense of what voters think of the direction the government and the country more generally is heading in,” he said.

Home-loan help at hand Is your mortgage due for a review?

Find out if you should be getting ready to refinance this year.

With interest rates low throughout 2016 and so far in 2017, you might be thinking about getting a better deal on your mortgage.

Sorting out mortgages can be a bit of a headache. There’s plenty of paperwork involved and revisiting that can be somewhere you’d rather not go.

But reviewing your goals and what the mortgage market has to offer can be well worth the effort.

By getting an insider’s view on your options, it can speed up the refinancing process, making it a lot easier to deliver the right result.

When it comes to comparing lenders and their products, there’s a lot to consider.

Not only are there thousands of loans to choose from, you’ll also need to understand which ones are right for your circumstances.

And that’s why it can often make sense to get a broker’s help with narrowing down your refinancing options.

Whether you want to refinance your home loan to get a lower rate, consolidate debt or invest in property, speaking to Monique from Aussie New Farm can be a good way to explore your ideas and options for refinancing.

GOLDEN BOOT SUCCESS Active School Travel’s coveted inter-school competition for the Golden Boot has been won by Holy Spirit School – Congratulations!

Active travel on certain school days has increased from 29% to 71% in April – a baseline increase of 42%.

Council’s award-winning Active School Travel Program helps children improve their road safety skills and learn more about active travel.

Last year more than half of students at participating schools were cycling, scootering, walking, car-pooling or using public transport to get to and from school on dedicated Active School Travel days.

We know that children who are physically active on the way to school are more alert and attentive in class and arrive at school ready to learn.

GRANTS PROGRAM TACKLES HOMELESSNESS IN CENTRAL We are working to address the needs of the city’s most vulnerable residents, with nearly $20,000 provided to service agencies through this year’s Housing Support Program.

Our Housing Support Program focuses on community organisations assisting residents in the inner-northern suburbs including Bowen Hills, Fortitude Valley, New Farm, Spring Hill, Newstead and Teneriffe.

These grants have previously helped to deliver a range of initiatives such as wellness workshops for people in social housing, providing essential resources for young people, and establishing online resources to assist people in sustaining tenancies.

As part of this year’s Housing Support Program, three organisations have received $19,885 in funding: ·

Churches of Christ in Queensland - $6,500 toward their project, Digi-Ask: connecting people in real time to essential services

Tess Hogan, never having married or had her own children, unashamedly thinks of the staff and children of New Farm’s Holy Spirit School as her family.

But Tess, 65, has recently and after nearly 30 years’ service finally called it a day as secretary at the small parish Catholic School.

“Since the late 1980s I have been embraced as a part of the extended school community,” Tess said.

“It may sound old fashioned but I found my heart among the children and teachers here.

“I was blessed that my role or influence was never limited to the school offices doing only administrative duties.

“It brought me great joy being a very small part of the education and development of so many small children over the past three decades.”

For the first month of her appointment in New Farm, Tess was managing a super-human day.

She started at Holy Spirit before 9am and finished at 3pm before dashing across town to finish her contract as afternoon and night secretary at Marist Brothers’ Ashgrove.

“I couldn’t let either school down so although I was exhausted, I honoured both contracts and finished off my time at Marist.”

Once ensconced full-time in Holy Spirit, Tess began to sprinkle her generosity among the small community far beyond secretarial duties.

“Often children would be sent to the principal’s office for ‘time out’ for misbehaving and I always enjoyed being there for those children who needed that little bit extra of attention.

“Such is my deep faith that I truly believe I was directed to the school to nurture the mothering skills that were deep inside.”

She has also felt privileged to have shared experiences where students and staff were able to see a part of the fun Tess character.

“Dressing in period costume and being soaked in the dunking machine at fêtes was always fun.

“But my highlight would be accompanying the students on their school trip to Canberra.

“Playing in the snow and visiting the monuments in the nation’s capital was very special to share.”

Tess admitted that in many schools, administration staff were not included with teachers in activities, but “that has never been the case for me at Holy Spirit where I always felt an integral part of the school community doing whatever was needed”.

“I drove the minibus for the boys’ Aussie Rules team.

“I cooked and did catering for many parish funerals whose families were unable to and in the early days I even checked to make sure that the ‘ladies of the night’ were not consorting on our school corner as the kids were picked up in the afternoon.”

Tess said she was overwhelmed throughout her recent final week when the school held a Festival of Tess, devoting each day to thanking her in a different way.

“Monday was Flower Day and it wasn’t so much the individual floral gifts from every child, but the personalised kindness they represented.

“Big pots, small bouquets and even handpicked weeds were presented with such genuine love. I will never forget,” she said, tears welling.

Current school principal Kim Davis said: “For so many years Tess has been the lifeblood of the Holy Spirit community.

“For nearly three decades she has often been the first person parents and visitors had contact with and her warmth creates an instant welcome to our school.

“For a generation of children Miss Hogan has been an integral part of the fabric of their school day whether by comforting conversations, organising activities or just a quiet friend when needed,” she said.

Artist plans interactive light show for festival

BY MIKE O’CONNOR The facades of Teneriffe’s trademark wool stores will become a canvas for projected artwork as part of innovations planned for next month’s Teneriffe Festival.

Festival chair Jillian Kingsford Smith said artist Matt Sheridan had been commissioned to create the artwork, which would draw on the area’s industrial heritage and the changing nature of the suburb.

“There will be three triangular projections which will roll across the walls with an interactive element which will involve Matt taking snippets of vision from the audience, flashing them up and painting around them. Everyone will have a different reaction to it.

“It’s been a long-time dream of ours to bring a more artistic element to the festival,” she said.

$16

Ms Kingsford Smith said this year’s festival would also feature a Merthyr Village Cooking Show.

“This will be on a separate stage where there will be workshops, cooking demonstrations, discussions, forums and so on.

“The board felt we didn’t want as many music stages this year but more of a lifestyle element so people could have an educational moment.

“We’re community and family oriented.

We never wanted to be a music show.

“We’ve retained some of the favourites like the River Stage, the street markets and the historical components because with everything we do with the festival, we try to point back to where we came from,” she said.

Ms Kingsford Smith said that more than half the festival board members were new to the role.

“They bring a fresh set of eyes and a fresh set of passions.

“We’re harnessing the ‘Taste of Teneriffe’ brand a lot more this year, working with the local traders and inspiring them to create dishes specific to the festival.

“We’ve partnered with the Green Beacon Brewing Company this year and they are a naming rights sponsor.

“They’ve created a Beer of Teneriffe for the festival.

“It’s got no name at the moment but we’re asking the public what you would call a beer for Teneriffe.

“The flavour will be bright and vibrant like our beautiful suburb,” she said.

Ms Kingsford Smith said she was aware of the complaints of some local traders who claimed that the festival had a negative impact on their businesses.

“But we get plenty of people telling us this is their biggest day of the year.

“We’re there to support them as much as possible.

“I think that with the numbers that come, I would hope that everyone would have a good day.

“We’ve made sure stalls don’t block access to local businesses and ensure that, for example, we don’t have someone selling coffee in front of a coffee shop.

“The first year we held the festival, it attracted about 1000 people, then 10,000 and then 15,000.

“Last year it drew a crowd of 50,000 and we think that’s a good number. We want to get better, not bigger.”

Teneriffe’s woolly wealth Coarse, colour, count, condition, cotted or matted, crimp or burry are all terms likely to be on the tip of the tongue of wool classers such as Duncan Davis and Warren Zernike.

Duncan grew up in New Farm and started his first job at Teneriffe woolstore.

Warren started in the Teneriffe woolstore some 50 years ago and is still working in the industry.

Between them they have more than 90 years’ wool experience and are both still actively involved in the industry.

They will be the guest speakers at the June meeting of the New Farm and Districts Historical Society.

Wool amounted to 64.3 per cent of Queensland’s exports in 1950-51 and Teneriffe’s wharves and wool stores were at the epicentre of this burgeoning trade.

Come and hear Duncan Davis and Warren Zernike on Saturday June 24 at Merthyr Road Uniting Church Centre, 2-4pm.

Sales team swaps desks for shovels and gloves Ivo Kornel and the Belle property team have rallied in support of a local who was having difficulty getting her house presentable for sale.

“The owner is moving overseas and was struggling to get the house ready for the market,” Mr Kornel said.

“We thought we would roll up her sleeves and give her a hand!

“Myself, Belle Property’s Beth Leach, the next-door neighbour and my brother all pitched in – it was a great example of community spirit and we were very successful.”

There have already been a few open houses at the home, which fronts on to both quiet Chambers Street and James Street.

“It’s one of the iconic homes of New Farm – it’s beautiful off the street and when you walk through it looks amazing,” Mr Kornel said.

The house features a double carport, large iconic hedges and bougainvillea, city views, a pool and a fireplace along with a veranda and landing fronting James Street.

School seeks sponsors Local generosity will be key to the success of New Farm State School’s fête to be held on July 30.

Fête convenor Laura Watson said the event had already attracted support but was still searching for contributions.

“We’re lucky enough to have gotten some help from the local Lions group and some community members but we’re always on the lookout for more help,” Ms Watson said.

“We have lots of smaller sponsors this year but we are still in the process of negotiating major sponsors for this event,” she said.

The school will be providing a variety of attractions on the day to cater for visitors of all ages.

“It’s going to be the best of a classic school fête – rides, a special cake stall, and a wood-fired pizza oven and beer garden,” Ms Watson said.

“We will also be featuring performances throughout the day from students and community musicians and performers.

“We’re having a beat-the-goalie game and people may even be able 20

villageNews I June 2017

to try their luck against an actual Brisbane Roar player.”

There will be a variety of rides for children of all ages, from baby animals and a super slide to rock climbing.

Ms Watson said the money raised at the fête would go towards technology and software to help students transition into high school.

“The proceeds from this year’s fête are going towards information communication technology, which is hardware, software and educational programs for the kids,” Ms Watson said.

“As you can imagine, this goes out of date very quickly.

“We need to keep evolving with the needs of our digital-native students.”

The fête has benefited from the support of local businesses in previous years and organisers are hoping the business community rallies together in support.

The event runs between 10am and 4pm on July 30.

FOOD

Cooking from Q memory village food ANNABELLE CHAPPLE When Ivan Coe steps into The Lazy Dog Café kitchen each day he’s dancing with memories of his childhood.

In between churning out breakfast and lunch orders at his contemporary Newstead eatery, he’s tinkering and tasting.

Ivan’s trying to perfect the flavours he first encountered on long, hot days in Indonesia where as a boy he would spend hours watching his mother and grandmother cook feasts of spicy, sour and salty foods.

It’s this passion for experimenting with south-east Asian cuisine that’s lead Ivan and his wife Claudia to extend The Lazy Dog Café’s operating hours to evenings for the first time in three years.

I caught up with the head chef to chat about his new street food nights, his leap from a corporate career to the kitchen, and to learn how to cook an authentic Indonesian barbecue dish.

WHERE DID YOUR PASSION FOR COOKING COME FROM?

My mum used to be a cook, never professionally but she did catering around the home. My grandma was the same and my dad was a chef, so I guess it runs in the family. I used to love watching my mum and grandma every weekend at our big house in Indonesia, where I was born. We used to have all our relatives, cousins and second cousins, come to our place on Sundays for a feast. My grandma would cook up a storm.

Q

WHAT KIND OF FOOD DID SHE COOK?

All sorts of specialties: she was really good with Asian and western cooking, she could do anything. We have corn fritters on the menu today and that’s pretty much her Indonesian recipe.

Q

DID YOUR GRANDMA WRITE THE RECIPES DOWN?

No. I’m doing it all from memory so it’s a bit of trial and error. I still remember the tastes of certain dishes. I have very sensitive tastebuds, even with coffee.

WOULD SHE BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU’VE DONE?

Q

I think she’d be surprised. I didn’t really take an interest in cooking when I was younger. At 15 I finished my school

Ivan Coe of the The Lazy Dog Café certificate and took up a cooking apprenticeship with Qantas but then thought, “No, it’s too hard”. Cooking had always been a hobby. It took me a long time to realise that I really needed to do it professionally.

Q

WHAT DID YOU DO BEFORE BECOMING A CHEF?

I was an accountant: a financial analyst actually. My last job was contracting for Foxtel and when that contract expired I said, “It’s time to move”. I didn’t want to look back 20 years down the track and say I should’ve done it.

Q

WHAT DO YOU LOVE TO COOK?

I love playing around with different ingredients but I especially love Asian cooking. What we do here is a lot of fusion so most of the ingredients are Asian herbs and spices. I play around with them, use

them for different things and create something new. I love spicy food – anything spicy, sour and a bit of saltiness.

Q

ARE YOU BRINGING THOSE FLAVOURS TO THE NEW DINNER MENU?

Yes, two nights a week we’re going to do Asian street food so I’m going to be doing the kind of cooking I’ve always wanted to do. My thought behind it is that Thai, Vietnamese and Malaysian cooking is popular but Indonesian is not so popular and yet they’re not too different. Indonesian cuisine has thousands of different dishes so I wanted to get people more familiar with it.

Ivan Coe’s pork satay ANNABELLE’S TIPS Most Indonesians and Australians would feel their satay dish is lacking without lashings of peanut sauce but Ivan’s doesn’t need it. The flavour of the pork in his recipe develops such intensity after first marinating in a fragrant onion and lemongrass paste overnight, then being doused in a mixture of earthy spices and citrus before being barbecued.

Nut lovers aren’t neglected entirely though. Ivan uses candlenuts in the paste to add texture. If you can’t find them macadamias make a fine substitute and actually lend a richer taste. When sourcing “pork neck” it’s simply pork collar or Boston butt by another name and to save time, ask your butcher to dice it into 1cm cubes.

This is a dish I’ll make again because it’s tasty, a powerful combination of exotic and fragrant flavours for such little effort.

2 candlenuts* 2 brown onions 1 long red chilli 1 stalk lemongrass 2 garlic cloves ½ cm galangal 1 tbs vegetable oil 500g pork neck

Place nuts in a frying pan on medium heat and toast until golden. Roughly chop onions, chilli and lemongrass. Combine roasted nuts, onions, chilli, lemongrass, garlic and galangal in a food processer and blitz until ingredients form a chunky paste.

Heat oil in a frypan on a low heat, add paste and cook for three minutes.

SERVES 4 *Candlenuts can be found in specialty Asian food stores or substituted with

ingredients

While the paste is heating through, dice pork neck into 1cm cubes and place in a bowl. Coat chopped pork with paste and marinate in fridge for four hours or overnight.

About an hour before cooking, soak the bamboo skewers in water.

Remove the meat from fridge and thread onto skewers.

Toast coriander and cumin seeds, then grind with a mortar and pestle. Squeeze juice of a lime into a separate bowl, add ground spices and remaining marinade ingredients. Stir to combine.

Heat barbecue or frypan to low.

Using a spoon, generously drizzle pork skewers with marinade then place straight on to barbecue.

Grill for a few minutes, turning regularly so the skewers don’t burn. Serve with wedges of lime and garnish with fresh chilli.

four-five whole macadamia nuts.

Ekka fashionistas go green Ekka’s 2017 Natural Fibres fashion parades will take audiences “Back to Nature” with a line-up of 27 women’s and menswear designers from across Queensland interpreting cotton, wool, silk and leather in 30 shows over the 10 days of the 140th anniversary Ekka.

Natural Fibres fashion event director Laura Churchill said this was an exciting year for Ekka fashion where parade viewers would not see just a broad range of Queensland homegrown fashion but better understand the links between farm to runway.

“I’m so excited to bring such a broad range of designer fashion to the Ekka runway this year and celebrate the links between Queensland-grown natural fibres and our designers,” said Ms Churchill.

“We have everything from student fashion to emerging designers, one of which will launch her collection at Ekka, through to the most recognisable names in Queensland fashion represented on the runway. It’s sure to be a really inspirational show.”

Brisbane designers featuring this year include White Label Noba, Daughter of the Moon, Tengdahl, Urbbana, Sticks and Stone, Pia Du Pradal, Gail Sorronda, George & King, Sacha Drake, Irma J Smith, Maiocchi,

George Wu, Wil Valor, Wendy Makin and Darb Bridal Couture.

Four regional designers have been selected including Nikke Horrigan (Ipswich), Ella and Sunday (Sunshine Coast), Tyler Giudes (Townsville) and Alexander Kennedy (Toowoomba).

Eight student designers will be selected to feature in the parade through the new Student Design Competition to be judged by an industry panel at the RNA Showgrounds on July 10.

This year marks the 26th Natural Fibres parade, Ekka’s most glamorous event.

The parades will be staged on the entertainment and fashion stage, upper level, Royal International Convention Centre, Brisbane Showgrounds at 12.30pm, 1.30pm and 2.30pm daily during the Ekka.

Marie Claire Event

Woolstore on track as art focus

Just recently, James St’s sixth annual Marie claire Up Late event.

The Ansonia Woolstore in Teneriffe will be host to the “Track and Trace” exhibition this month, with installations by five Australian artists.

“Track and Trace” will explore themes of urban development and consumerism against the backdrop of the historic woolstore.

Caroline Austin, Franz Ehmann, Victoria Lawson, Ebony Secombe and Vincent Wozniak-O’Connor will display their work in and around the Ansonia, which was renovated and transformed into apartments in 2003.

“People will arrive to the Ansonia North foyer at 64 Macquarie Street which will be open for the night of the opening on June 1,” said Ms Lawson, one of the curators of the exhibition.

“They will move through the building as directed on a room sheet.

“It seemed like such a great environment that the idea was born to hold it there if approved by the Body Corporate.

“Caroline and I will be minding the space from Friday June 2 to Sunday June 4 from 12-4pm; the following Friday to Sunday 12-4pm and the last weekend on Friday and Saturday

Shrew takes pot shot at sexism

The only “Shakespeare” my husband is familiar with is his favourite watering hole in Sydney’s Surry Hills.

So you can imagine his delight when I told him our Friday date night would include Shakespeare … at the Merthyr Road Uniting Church seeing Nash Theatre’s production of The Taming of the Shrew.

Fortunately, this Shakespeare classic was given a modern twist by director Jason Nash and set in the fictional “Black Widows” bikie clubhouse in Padua, with the mafia, Celine Dion power ballads and comedy thrown in.

My limited knowledge of the play was thanks to high-school English class many moons ago and the cult hit film 10 Things I Hate About You. The first thing that I noticed about the play was that there was a strong representation of women in the cast,

12-4pm.

“The doors will be open and there is security minding the space.

“The artwork is not officially for sale but if people are genuinely interested we can provide the artist’s contact details,” Ms Lawson added.

Opening: Thursday June 1, 5-8pm then Fri-Sun 12-4pm June 2-17, Ansonia North foyer, 64 Macquarie Street, Teneriffe.

made obvious as soon as Baptista Minola, played by Jennifer Morgan, entered the stage.

Jennifer had a real presence.

The Taming of the Shrew is famous for its patriarchal oppression and makes it clear that Bianca and Katherina Minola are living in a man’s world.

This adaption didn’t stray too far but unlike the original, Baptista is the matriarch of the story.

It’s really Baptista who the suitors have to woo to get the hand of her youngest daughter, Bianca.

That’s not so easy for the men in line when they have to deal with powerful Baptista and the “shrew” herself, eldest daughter Katherina.

As soon as we were introduced to Katherina, played by Hannah Martin, the audience was captivated.

Her over-dramatic and often crazed outbursts really rang true as the “shrew”.

Throughout the play her character mellowed, even after she was forced to marry Petruchio, played by Isaac Barnes.

Together Hannah and Isaac really came across as professional actors.

The play didn’t shy away from the obvious sexism in the story, classism or gender stereotypes but highlighted each successfully through comedy.

I had dinner with an agent this week. She is a young lady in her 20’s and she is selling units in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. We were discussing the cost of 1 bedroom apartments that she had recently sold or was currently negotiating. The prices of these ranged from $1million - $1.7million! When I asked her what was the main demographic, she said it was singles or young couples her age. What?! Oh and for the record, these are roughly all under 50m2 without harbour or city views and some without car parks.

In a week where the budget has seen measures to help first home buyers enter the market, I genuinely hope they’re not trying to push them into these areas. Most of the country is offering great value, but these inner city markets of Sydney & Melbourne are not the place for a first home buyer to be dipping their toes.

To give you some comparison you could do a search of our CBD and find 1 bedroom units under $200,000 or even in New Farm in the $200,000’s.

I completely understand the population benefits of Sydney, but is Brisbane really only 20% (or less) of their price?

The budget does seem to have a plan to steer these first home buyers into the markets that are not overstimulated. There is a provision in the budget that extends the powers of APRA which can dictate to the banks on some of the lending criteria for certain suburbs. This could likely mean the banks will be restricted on the amounts of money they can lend in these bull markets.

I believe this and the levies applied to foreign investors, if used in the spirit of the budget, could slow these super fast markets. haesley is the local principal of living here cush partners and a columnist for the sunday mail. portions of this article may be an extract from his column.

Newstead North has arrived — introducing the Newstead Series

The boutique Newstead Series townhomes are the culmination of my years of design work in New York and Brisbane.

This experience enabled me to create these unique interiors which integrate New York design with modern Brisbane sub-tropical living.

From every joinery detail, voluminous ceiling heights, timber parquetry floors to my favourite feature – the 6-star hotel style shower and stone bathtub, the townhomes have been meticulously designed with style and functionality at the forefront.
