hen I was six I fell in love with Erik Estrada. Those of you who are old enough to remember TV in the late ’70s and early ’80s should appreciate where I am coming from. Erik played dashing motorcycle cop Frank ‘Ponch’ Poncherello in the US TV show CHiPS. My heart still gets all aflutter at the thought of the beige uniform that seemed one size too small for the spirited police officer. Ah, the memories. But what, do you ask, has made me all nostalgic? I blame our fantastic contributor Dorothy Drane – a baby boomer with plenty of pop culture memories to share. This week she is doing just that with MWP readers, and I defy any of you over the age of 30 to turn the page and not get a little sentimental yourselves. If you can remember the smell of Brut 33, the taste of cream buns at the

A thing of the past

PREVIEW Have you been glued to the TV over the past few months, reliving the glory that was Australian suburbia in the ‘70s? You’re not alone. MWP takes a trip down memory lane to rediscover the details that defined a generation. WORDS Dorothy Drane

10.indd 1

T

ELEVISION has rediscovered the 1970s with a string of programs that relive the days of Afros and big moustaches, cheesecloth, flares and Brut 33 with such gusto that even those who were sceptical at the time can’t help but feel a little nostalgic. This is talkin’ about my generation, the kids who grew up with Guy Fawkes and tuppenny bungers and when cream buns were the big treat on tuckshop day, which came around once a week, usually on Friday. The new decade dawned to the Age of Aquarius, a catchy tune from the musical Hair, which had taken the world by storm. It angered establishment because of its anti-Vietnam War message, its hippies and most of all, its nudity and pot smoking. And it became something of an anthem to a generation that was to bridge the gap between the propriety of the ’50s, when they were born, and their children of the ’90s. It was a whole world of difference. Music came from cassettes, eight-track cassettes, or 45s, EPs and LPs on the record player with speaker systems so big they could fill a room. Carole King, Neil Young and Cat Stevens were easy listening, Brian Ferry was fun and the The Rocky Horror Picture Show had a cult-like following. It was a good time to have shares in baby oil and

coconut oil. There was no Slip! Slop! Slap! yet, because public education still came from Norm in his easy chair exhorting the populace to get out for Life. Be In It. Instead, oil was lathered on and young bodies rotated in the sun like chickens on a rotisserie, in the quest for the perfect tan. Restaurants were few and far between but gradually found a niche on the coastal strip where a restaurateur called John Douglas educated locals in dining out. There was Pisces at Alexandra Headland, Rusty’s Mexican on Sixth Avenue near Bullockies, the Attic and the Red Bull at Noosa and Dormie House at Buderim. Surfair at Marcoola broke new ground with a Sunday afternoon session with a live band. At parties, guests snacked on Jatz dipped into French onion soup mixed with cream cheese, cheerios, potato salad wrapped in sliced luncheon and held together with a toothpick or toothpicks loaded with cabana, and gaudily coloured cocktail onions jammed into a foil-covered orange or pineapple half. Favoured drinks were Orlando Barossa Pearl, Spumante, Blue Nun Liebefrauwein, Cold Duck, Ben Ean, Mateus Rose, Stone’s Ginger Wine and Brandivino, while Blue Lagoon and Harvey Wallbangers were for showing off. It was the decade of the dinner party, the full five

But that was nothing compared to the controversy that came when the soapie o was as Number 96 first aired in 1972. It too considered very naughty, with sizzling scenes flashing nude flesh. Abigail and Dorrie Evans became household names. The Box followed in 1974 and the decade closed with Prisoner as the talk of the TV soapie viewer’s world. By then though, the miracle of colour TV was starting to make its way into lounge rooms. Bad language wasn’t heard on TV and even at the movies was used sparingly. Comedians like Norman Gunston and Aunty Jack were naughty but tame and made great viewing along with MASH, The Goodies and Kenny Everett for comedy, or action with Starsky & Hutch, The Six Million Dollar Man, Mod Squad, Homicide and Division 4. Mrs Marsh, sticking her piece of chalk into a pot of ink, proved that Colgate really did protect your teeth and Meadow Lea said families who made the switch from butter ought to be congratulated. At a time when smoking was not only perfectly acceptable but also to be encouraged, Paul Hogan said “Anyhow. Have a Winfield”, Tony Barber whistled the Cambridge tune, Stuart Wagstaff recommended Benson & Hedges and you could join the Escort club for 42 cents. Start humming Louie the Fly, Mortein’s killer spray ad, and before long there’s a choir “he’s bad and mean and mighty unclean, afraid of no one…”. On the Sunshine Coast, or North Coast as it was better known, there was great excitement when the national advertisement for Amoco

Brut & Old Spice were popular Father’s Day gifts

Tom Selleck and his facial hair were cast as the lead in Magnum, P.I., leading to a generation of copycat moustaches

petrol filmed a sports car cruising along the range between Maleny and Montville. Amoco, along with other service stations like Golden Fleece, Esso and Ampol, had attendants who would run out to fill the car and wash the windscreen, and often check the oil as well. Hitchhiking was still a reasonable way to get around. Holden had a revolutionary new shape in its HQ model, which it called the Kingswood. It was so popular it became the star of its own Australian sitcom in the early 1980s. Ford responded with the XB Falcon, memorable because its mirrors were no longer chrome but matched the paint colour of the vehicle. Leyland’s P76 was brought out in 1973 as a serious rival but alas, opinion was changing and it was way too big to appeal to most tastes. Instead, Torana, Escort, Cortina and Corolla were popular. Nissan models were still called Datsuns and Minis and Volkswagen Beetles were cheap more than trendy. But most loved in the automobile world was the panel van, in particular Holden’s Sandman, as these, along with the Mazda Bongo vans, had their own brand of daring – the drive-in theatre. Whether it was to jam as many people as possible into the back – concealing a few where possible to escape admission charges – or just a mattress and pillows for two, the panel van belonged at the drive-in. continued over >

<from previous page The first was at the “Maroochydore turnoff” near Stark Lane, and the second to arrive was in Maud Street, Maroochydore. The cinemas – the Vogue in Nambour, the Strand in Caloundra, Star in Maroochydore and the Beach on the corner of Mooloolaba Esplanade and Brisbane Road – were left struggling. Movies such as A Clockwork Orange, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Easy Rider, Towering Inferno, The Poseidon Adventure, Play Misty for Me and Star Wars entertained and terrified, but not as much as The Exorcist, which shocked and petrified. It was easy to drive off with the speakers still attached to the window. Girls wore cheesecloth with crochet as butt-hugging dresses, or blouses over flares so wide they could pass for a sail. This outfit was best accompanied by patchouli oil. For the balls, Nambour Civic Hall being the most popular venue in the Maroochy Shire, dresses were ankle-length crepe, hair was teased and swept up with dozens of bobby pins, Prue Acton makeup applied generously in a cloud of fragrance like Tweed or Charlie. Everyone wanted to have hair like Farrah Fawcett in Charlie’s Angels. Shoes were preferably cork wedges or for something really special and groovy, heavy carved

Servos still had attendants who would rush out to fill the tank and wash the windscreen

Farrah Fawcett had the most famous hairstyle around

Drive-in theatre-goers had to take care not to drive away with the speakers

wooden shoes with leather straps handmade to order at Frogs Hollow, a little hippy shop on Mooloolaba Esplanade. Boys grew moustaches and sideburns as best they could but not always matching up to the quality of Tom Selleck in TV’s Magnum, P.I., and wore floral or paisley shirts over their flares. Formal shoes had high thick heels and suits were trimmed with dark contrasting velvet. Old Spice, Mennen and Brut 33 were the aftershaves of choice. The most popular, and often the only, entertainment was the weekly Palmwoods dance. Many a match was made on the floor of the Memorial Hall to the Gypsy Tap or a vigorous jive. Outside was plenty of action too, as this was the venue for the local lads to congregate with their “tallies” of beer or spirits sloshed into bottles of soft drink. Alcohol was forbidden but there were always ways and means, something which tended to become obvious by the end of the night when the fist fights started. On the bigger stage, the boys came home from Vietnam, Gough Whitlam declared “It’s time” and Kerry Packer revolutionised cricket while his publishing business revolutionised magazines. The big events are being retold on television, but it’s the small stuff that made the real memories of the generation.

TURNING HER LIFE AROUND AFTER TRAGEDY

T

en years ago Carren Smith travelled to Bali with two friends to commemorate the one-year anniversary of her partner’s suicide. Smith planned to take her own life in Bali. But before she had the chance both her friends were killed in the Bali bombings. As the 10-year anniversary of the

Bali tragedy approaches, the Sunshine Coast woman tells her story in a new book, Soul Survivor, which she hopes will inspire others and help honour the victims’ memory. She credits the tragedy with shocking her out of her suicidal spiral and pulling her “back from the brink”. “Almost 12 months ago I made the decision to truly embrace my experience by sharing it with the world and writing my memoir Soul Survivor,” Smith says. “Writing a book was often in the back of my mind and I had various journal entries with random thoughts and paragraphs in them, never having the courage until recently to put it all together and revisit the experience in its entirety,” she adds.

“Despite sharing my story regularly on stage, the act of writing presented new challenges. I was forced to recall graphic description, details and emotional language along with memories that I had buried deep in my subconscious. It was a cathartic experience, and one which has finally brought me to find forgiveness for myself.” Now the CEO of Quantum Leadership Group, Smith says she helps others, spreading her message, encouraging audiences to take action and make positive changes in their lives. Smith will launch her new book on October 11, raising funds for the Peter Hughes Burn Foundation in memory of the victims of the Bali bombings.

Postcards attracts from 350,000 up to 500,000 weekly viewers in one of our key markets, Victoria, and this segment will be aired in early October providing terrific exposure just in time for the summer holidays.” Spirit House owner Helen Brierty says this exposure is perfect for her business but also has a flow-on effect for the entire region

Conservation champion has story to tell Conservation ambassador Leo Biddle will speak in Mooloolaba next week about his work with the orang-utan. Biddle, who holds degrees in zoology and psychology, is the Leo Biddle Noel Conservation Director of Orang-utan Project Sdn Bhd, a Sarawakian company that was developed 12 months ago. He works at both Matang Wildlife Centre and International Animal Rescue Centre in West Kalimantan. The gala dinner and silent auction where Biddle will speak is being organised by Coast woman Casey Murtagh as part of the People of the Forest Project, which aims to raise $20,000 to expand the International Animal Rescue site at Ketapang, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. “To date, we have raised $5500 for the Australian charity, The Orang-utan Project,� says Murtagh, who began the project after her own experience as a volunteer at Matang Wildlife Centre in Sarawak, Borneo in 2011 – an experience she describes as “truly life changing�. Biddle will be flying in from Ketapang to support Murtagh on the evening and to speak about his life working in the jungle. “It’s so important for me to visit fundraising events like Casey’s to raise the general public’s awareness of the importance of conservation and the key trade problems, which affect the existence of many Great Ape species today,� says Biddle. The event will be held on Thursday, October 25 at Fish on Parkyn, Mooloolaba. For more visit the People of the Forest Project Facebook page.

TOPLESS PHOTO COMPLAINT

AAP

awyers for the royal family will make a criminal complaint against the photographer who took pictures of Prince William’s wife Kate sunbathing topless in the south of France. The palace has already launched a civil lawsuit against France’s Closer magazine, which published the paparazzi snaps of Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, relaxing during a holiday at a private villa in Provence. The couple is hitting back hard against publication of the pictures, which the palace called a “grotesque” abuse of privacy. A spokeswoman for William’s St James’s Palace office said on Sunday the couple’s lawyers would file a complaint with French prosecutors on Monday against the unidentified photographer or photographers involved. The palace said it would be up to French prosecutors to decide whether to investigate and pursue a criminal case for breach of privacy or trespassing.

No British publication has run the pictures, and Britain’s tabloids have lined up to denounce them as an invasion of the duchess’ privacy. The strong response stands in contrast to the reception of naked photos of Prince Harry partying in Las Vegas, which appeared online last month and were later published in Britain’s Sun tabloid. The palace shrugged off the photos, snapped during a game of strip billiards, and took no action against those who published them. AP

Keith Urban named as American Idol judge Days after turning his back on The Voice, country rock star Keith Urban has been named as a judge on the new series of American Idol, along with singer-rapper Nicki Minaj. The Fox network officially named the pair (pictured) in an announcement on Sunday. The announcement also settles the status of Randy Jackson. He will stay put as the sole remaining original Idol judge, scotching rumours of a different role for him on the show. This trio joins newcomer Mariah Carey on a judges’ panel now expanded to four members. The Nine Network confirmed on Thursday Urban would not be on panel for the second season of The Voice. AP

Zimbabwe PM: I have found true love Zimbabwe’s prime minister has said at his marriage ceremony he had to date several women to find the one he truly loves. Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai dismissed as propaganda on Sunday the reports by state media that say he leads an irresponsible private life which makes him unfit to lead the country. A Zimbabwe magistrate ruled on Friday that Tsvangirai could not go ahead with a formal wedding after an ex-lover filed a suit against him claiming the two were still married under Zimbabwe’s tribal laws. Tsvangirai, 60, and Elizabeth Macheka, 35, exchanged vows on Saturday but did not sign the legal marriage register. AP

DESALINATION PLANT OPEN AAP

ictoria’s $6.1 billion desalination plant has begun large-scale production of drinking water. Builder Leighton said on Monday the plant was operating at a third of its capacity and would be finished later this year. Leighton chief executive Hamish Tyrwhitt called the first water production a significant milestone. “We are now operating at around 33 per cent of the plant’s capacity,” he said in a statement. Under consortium AquaSure’s

contract with the previous Labor government, a penalty of $1.8 million a day applies after June 30, 2012, if the project is not delivered on schedule. AquaSure has lodged claims of more than $1 billion against the government for delays blamed on cyclonic weather and industrial disputes. AAP

30% of NSW drug drivers are reconvicted More than a third of people who are caught driving under the influence of drugs are convicted of another offence within two years, the latest NSW crime statistics show. The NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) says it found 35.3 per cent of drug driving offenders were reconvicted within 24 months, but not for the same offence. The report revealed 99 per cent of re-offenders were convicted of something other than drug driving – with 8.2 per cent convicted of a drug offence and 15.1 per cent convicted of a driving offence.

Are you not as happy as you used to be? Is stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, or ADHD overwhelming you? Are anti-depressants not working for you? Do you find yourself irritated, not able to feel excited, or constantly thinking negatively? Do you have trouble sleeping, your mind won’t stop racing, or you wake too often through the night? Do you get anxiety at bed time where you can hear your heart beating while your head is on the pillow? We had an incredible response from all who were logged on for the webinar we ran about one of my favourite topics – Solving the puzzle that creates Anxiety Depression & ADHD. When you put it all together, it all makes sense. There are 7 key underlying triggers which can cause all of these symptoms including anxiety, nervousness, depression, or lack of excitement and motivation for life. Stress feels overwhelming, and little upsets cause feelings of anger. Palpitations, excessive heat in the body, tingling in the hands or feet, irritable bowel syndrome, foggy brain and lack of concentration including ADHD in children, can also be present. Often these symptoms have been going on for months, years or even decades. You may suffer just a few of the

above symptoms or perhaps all of them. The 7 key common triggers that affect your brain, cause a compounding effect that your brain cannot deal with, which leads to long term, and then permanent brainwave pattern changes, affecting your personality, mood, and ability to think and cope, permanently! Fortunately it can be quite easy to address. Patients who have suffered depression for four decades, have reported to have improved out of sight after one month and other patients have shown improvement after just one week of treatment, including sufferers of Major Depressive Disorder, and children with ADHD, who have then been able to reduce their medication in less than 7 weeks, and these results are permanent and medication free! Proven with testing, these steps improve brain function immeasurably, without the help of medication, in adults and children. To find out more, call the centre and arrange a free half hour consultation, or view the webinar on our website. A webinar is simply a seminar that you can see on the internet. You just register through the website and it will play for you on your computer. It’s easy and it’s free.

ore than 80 words and terms including ‘blootered’, ‘amazeballs’ and ‘mummy porn’ have been added to an online dictionary. Publisher Collins says it was “blown away” by the thousands of entries it received for its online resource, after inviting all English-speaking members of the public to become “word-spotters” and suggest new and emerging words for inclusion. A total of 86 were chosen and can now be seen at collinsdictionary.com. The site was launched last

Collinsdictionary.com is accepting new word suggestions from anyone who wants to be involved in evolution of the English language. Here are a few of the 86 that have just been added.

ONARY year and is based in Glasgow, where Collins English Dictionary print editions and other best-selling reference titles are produced. Collins says opening the normally closed process would make the way the English language is recorded more democratic. The term “mummy porn” was coined when the novel Fifty Shades of Grey, by British author EL James, shot to popularity this year. The book explores themes of a sexual nature and has a reputation for being popular with women. “Blootered”, an adjective commonly used in Scotland to describe someone who is drunk, was added, along with “Facebook”, “cyber bullying” and “floordrobe”, which is defined as “a pile of clothes left on the floor of a room”. Tanya Clarke, 30, from Nottingham in England’s north, submitted the successful entry “amazeballs”, which is a slang word for giving approval to something. “My daughter is 10 and she uses it all the time. I think it is one of those words that will be used a lot by teenagers and pre-teens,” she says. “I think

the opportunity offered by Collins to submit words is really good as it means people have the chance to give their views on things that people are actually saying and the terms they are using. It will keep things up-to-date.” Other new entries to the dictionary include “frenemy”, for a person who is considered as both a friend and a rival, “shabby chic”, which is a style of interior design that uses worn or distressed furnishings to achieve a “romantic effect”, and tiger mother, describing “a very strict mother who demands that her children reach a high level of achievement”. Abbreviations such as “Locog” (London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games) and “BBM” (BlackBerry Messenger) have also been added, as well as “marra”, a northern English word for “mate”. The entries will now be considered for the dictionary’s print edition, but people can continue to submit words to Collins’ online resource, which the publisher said allows it to keep up-to-date in real-time.

We have previously discussed the concept of investment diversification. This is particularly important for retirees. Generally a portion of your portfolio will be invested in fixed interest. Often, people tend to think of fixed interest as only bonds and term deposits. However, annuities can also form a valuable part of your fixed interest portfolio. An annuity is a financial product that can be purchased with either non-superannuation or superannuation money. It provides a series of payments, for a fixed term or for your lifetime, in return for an upfront investment. Your capital can

money, the taxable component of regular income payments is taxed at your marginal rate. Annuities may also provide benefits from a Centrelink income test perspective. Unlike financial investments, including cash, term deposits and shares, lifetime annuities and those with a term of six years or more are not subject to the deeming provisions. These annuities have a deductible amount that Centrelink effectively treats as return of your own capital and not as income. This may result in a lower level of income being assessed when determining how much pension you may be paid by Centrelink. This may be particularly helpful to retirees who receive other pensions from overseas or from former employers.

be returned at the end of the agreed term or gradually during the term of the annuity in the form of income payments. The rate of return is fixed at the outset and this applies for the length of the annuity regardless of interest rate fluctuations. This reduces the investment risk of these funds, and for lifetime annuities decreases the longevity risk as the payments will be made as long as you live. This works against you however, if you die sooner. Annuities can be purchased only from life insurance companies and are regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). Payments can generally be made monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annually. The amount of income paid can be fixed at the outset, indexed by a set percentage or indexed to inflation. If purchased with superannuation money, the income payments will be received tax free after you reach age 60. If purchased with non-super

MAYOR DONS HARD HAT FOR VISIT TO RGD SITE

M Ron Grabbe, Mark Jamieson, RGD’s Tracey Carbis & Steve Hopes

ayor Mark Jamieson and RGD’s Property Group founding director Ron Grabbe met recently to discuss the upcoming projects in the Kawana health hub. With the new health precinct well underway, they have many reasons to be optimistic. “RGD was fortunate enough to acquire three of the best waterfront development sites at Birtinya at Oceanside, one on the Island and two on The Peninsula, all located within walking distance of the Kawana health hub,” Grabbe says. “Construction started on the first of these sites earlier this year.” In the next two years RGD will build $90 million worth of projects (not including work

privately contracted to RGD Constructions) and create more than 1000 jobs for the building industry. RGD’s site waste management initiatives are resulting in 80 per cent of the company’s construction site waste being diverted from council landfill. Steve Hopes, the director of RGD Constructions, says, “RGD is actively promoting the image of the Sunshine Coast as a region where sustainable development can and is being practiced. Our construction waste recycling policy is just one of many voluntarily implemented as part of our small green steps program.” For more information on RGD’s projects phone Gail Hunter on 0419 513 529.

HEALTH HUB SERVICES TO BE OFFERED WITHIN TWO YEARS The first services in the Health Hub precinct of Oceanside Kawana are expected to open their doors in 2014, according to project master developer Stockland. More details of the new health centrepiece for the Sunshine Coast have been announced following last week’s unveiling of the new Oceanside Kawana identity. Oceanside Kawana will encompass the Health Hub and hospitals precinct, the Birtinya residential community, the future Town Centre and a new Transit precinct. The Oceanside Health Hub is a 17-hectare purpose-built precinct that will provide allied health, research, specialist, retail and commercial services alongside the new public and private hospitals. The Health Hub and adjacent hospitals’ campus alone are forecast to contribute more than $3.2 billion to the state economy

during the construction phase, followed by $447 million annually. Stockland regional manager David Laner says the first Health Hub services are expected to be open to the public within two years. He adds the precinct is designed to accommodate the many complementary health and business services associated with large hospitals. “But the Health Hub will also be a magnet for new ideas and innovation – a place where knowledge-economy businesses and entrepreneurs can flourish,’’ he says. “We expect to see the best and brightest members of the health industry working in this inspirational coastal setting with access to the very latest technology.’’ Stockland has just launched a new website dedicated to Oceanside Kawana and called for the first expressions of interest from companies

wanting to be part of the Health Hub. Details on how to get involved are available at oceansidekawana.com.au. The main features of the Oceanside Health Hub include: • Up to 32,000 square metres of dedicated, health and medically oriented space. • Unprecedented access to higher learning, including University of Queensland, University of the Sunshine Coast and Sunshine Coast Institute of TAFE. • A unique place of knowledge, research and technology. • Child-care, gym, residential and lifestyle offerings, all in walking or bicycle distance. • Public transport connectivity to the rest of the Coast, incorporating a major bus interchange and dedicated multi-storey parking station.

COAST’S FIRST SALT CAVE SAID TO HEAL A HOST OF ILLS WORDS Leigh Robshaw

Inside a salt cave

T

he Sunshine Coast’s first salt cave opened in Mooloolaba on September 3, and word of its healing effects is spreading fast. According to owner Shaun Taylor, who opened a salt cave in Toowoomba in June 2011 that attracts 60 to 150 clients a week, spending time in a Himalayan salt cave can help relieve a variety of ailments, from sinusitis, asthma, bronchitis and emphysema, to eczema and psoriasis. Salt caves are highly popular at day spas across

Europe, and it was during a trip to visit his in-laws in Poland that Taylor discovered salt caves cleared up his sinusitis. “Normally this time of year I’d be completely locked up and sneezing, but my sinuses are fine,” says Taylor. So, why open a salt cave on the Coast where we have more than our fair share of invigorating, salty ocean air? According to Taylor, a salt cave is a controlled microclimate with a specific concentration of pure, dry Himalayan crystal salt aerosol being released in the room, whereas the salty beach air is moist and may have been contaminated by air and water pollution. “We opened in Mooloolaba because so many people from the Sunshine Coast were coming to Toowoomba to do their sessions,” says Taylor. “We wanted to service rural people and most said they holiday on the Sunshine Coast, so they could have their sessions while on holidays.” The main cave is made of about 12 tonnes of Himalayan salt, considered a highly pure form of salt full of essential health-boosting minerals, and spending time in this environment is said to be highly relaxing.

A smile is contagious…

“We have reclining chairs that are extremely relaxing to sit it, and I would say 60 to 80 per cent of people fall asleep,” says Taylor. “I try to encourage people to concentrate on their breathing to get the most out of it. Some people come in groups and use it as a chance to catch up, and other people go in to meditate.” Sessions run for 45 minutes and Taylor suggests starting with five sessions spaced out over two weeks. “It’s near impossible to say how many sessions people need; everyone’s condition is different, so everyone responds differently. For a mild condition, five sessions might be enough for people to be able to go off their medication, though I’m not suggesting they do go off their medication. “However, it is another option for doctors to offer, and people come into our Toowoomba store saying a doctor has referred them.” Taylor says the salt cave is 100 per cent natural and safe for everyone to use, from babies to pregnant women. “People come out feeling very relaxed, as if they’ve been to another world, and many say they go home and sleep like a log.”

Latest Hearing Advancement

In a new analysis of 29 studies involving almost 18,000 adults, researchers concluded acupuncture is an effective treatment for pain relief. While many believe it’s the placebo effect at work, some doctors believe there’s no reason not to offer acupuncture if it makes people feel better. The results “provide the most robust evidence to date that acupuncture is a reasonable referral option”, wrote the researchers from New York, England and Germany. The new analysis, published online in Archives of Internal Medicine, combined results from studies of patients with common types of chronic pain – recurring headaches, arthritis or back, neck and shoulder. The studies had randomly assigned patients to acupuncture and either fake acupuncture or standard pain treatment including medication or physical therapy. The authors explained their statistical findings by using a pain

scale of 0 to 100: the patients’ average baseline pain measured 60; it dropped to 30 on average in those who got acupuncture, 35 in those who got fake acupuncture, and 43 in the usual treatment group. Dr Andrew Avins, author of an Archives commentary and a researcher with the University of California says, “Acupuncture is relatively safe and uncertainty over how it works shouldn’t stop doctors from offering it as an option for patients struggling with pain.” AAP

Basic instincts What can you create for people who have it all, in a morose economic climate? That’s the question posed to Europe’s interior design industry. Avant-garde designers showcased in Paris earlier this month looked to minimalism for an answer, and taking their craft back to basics. Identify 100 things you really need in life, and lose the clutter: downsizing pioneers have been doing just that for years. The mantra was the inspiration behind an exhibition entitled Minimum at the Maison et Objet home design mecca outside Paris, which kicked off 10 days of design-linked events taking place citywide until September 16. “In our hyper-consumerist society, I wanted to explore the idea that you can free yourself from too many things,” explains trend-watcher Elizabeth Leriche, who curated the exhibit. Her

visual starting point was a work by the New York-based Israeli designer Ron Gilad: a pencildrawn line on the wall, which morphs into a thin wire, and finally into the finest of candlesticks, its point inserted into the soft wax. Gilad’s buffets, chairs and coffee tables are made of black-contoured rectangular glass panes, the angles sharp, the aesthetic utterly pared down: “These are almost archetypal objects,” Leriche says. Likewise, the ethereal work of Londoner Maya Selway, whose silver bowls and candelabra look – deceptively – like simple 2D line sketches. “European designers are coming back to minimalism,” says Leriche. MWP discovered a few minimal treasures to get your started. AAP

FEASTING IN THE HEART OF COOLUM WORDS Leisa Toomey is a partner at Schultz Toomey O’Brien and a lover of find food and wine.

F

oodies always have their ear to the ground about great places to eat, and I am no exception. When a friend told me about Harvest at Coolum, I knew I just had to try it. Situated on the main street of Coolum, the food and service are great and the owners, Tim and Belinda Absalom, have been in the industry for some time and are clearly passionate about their business, which is beautifully reflected in their product. My dining partner and I used Sunday lunch as our excuse to venture to Coolum and we took advantage of the great weather and sat outside (for inclement weather there is comfortable seating inside.) The decor is contemporary and minimalist, and the ambience is casual and very relaxed. The scene had been set as we anticipated what was to follow. First up was the Kalamata olive pizza bread ($14) with a thin crust and topped with a tantalising seasoning. It was very light and incredibly moreish. In fact, I could have dined on another three serves of that alone! For the wine, I chose a 2010 Cape Mentelle sauvignon blanc semillon because it was like a spring day. The crisp white intoxicating notes of the wine were just perfect to pretend spring was here, and at $9 a glass it was good value. The wine list was what I would consider nice and respectable and clearly

the wines had been selected to complement the menu (you would be surprised how some hospitality venues just don’t think that far). The range was not huge, but what had made it to the list showed some serious thought had been put into it. The starters were easy, though my dining partner and I fought over who would have the barbecue grilled prawns served with zucchini tomato lemon and avocado salsa. Even partaking in a game of paper, rock, scissors couldn’t decide it, so we both had it. I am glad I did not miss out on this dish, as it was just delicious. The prawns were fresh and large and grilled to perfection. They were incredibly juicy and the tanginess of the salsa complemented the dish to perfection by providing a kick of acidic delight via the lemon and tomato, all mixed in with the velvety creaminess of the avocado. We deliberated over changing our wine selection to spice things up and the 2010 Bella Modella pinot Grigio Garganega from northern Italy looked truly inviting (around $37 a bottle) but we stayed with the Cape Mentelle and ordered two more glasses to have with our mains. This time there was no doubling up and I selected the barbecue seafood antipasto. This dish was made of delightfully presented scallops, prawns and fish, each in their own individual serve. The scallops were wrapped in a lovely parcel that gave them great texture and the pan-fried fish came with

Truffle and prosciutto pizza bread a tasty and bright salsa which enhanced the flavours beautifully. My dining partner, however, opted for the duck and wild mushroom pie, which was presented just beautifully with the duck pieces wrapped up in a golden brown puff pastry served with creamy mash, greens and mushrooms. The pastry was just the right thickness and the duck was so well cooked it melted on the tongue. The mains are priced between $19 and $34, but don’t ignore the lunch specials Harvest has to offer, which, on the day we were there, ranged from $25 to $35. Dessert was well priced at about $14 but not an easy selection, so it was a toss-up between apple and rhubarb crumble with vanilla bean custard, caramelised banana and chocolate tart, or rum sabayon vanilla bean ice cream. The crumble won out and it was once again presented beautifully on the plate with red berries setting it off. The taste was a rush of crumble-entwined apple and rhubarb and accompanied by a vanilla explosion. I also snuck in a cheese plate just because, and my selection of hard and soft cheeses served with fruit bread and crackers topped it all off. I can see why this restaurant won the Courier Mail Food and Wine Guide awards in 2011 and I agree wholeheartedly with the selection. It may be on a main road, but that is no impediment to trying out this great dining experience.

uderim couple Genevieve and Paul Loxley have put a new spin on an old favourite with their gourmet range of fairy floss. Spun Fairy Floss is the latest sweet treat to be produced by the Sunshine Coast’s robust food industry. And if you’re not a fan of the pink stuff, don’t despair, there are more than 100 flavours of Spun Fairy Floss in the ever-growing range. Rose is sure to be a firm favourite, but there is also fig, coffee, choc hazelnut, pine lime, peanut butter, pistachio, coconut, pineapple and fruit salad. “Savoury flavours will also be available soon with the first contenders to be parmesan cheese and special herbal fairy floss such as coriander and dill,” Paul says, adding that his floss had been very well received because it is so original as there is nothing else quite like it in the world. “The flavours are so authentic it takes people by surprise and they want to try them all,” he says. “The floss is very high quality and it literally melts in your mouth, which makes it very versatile. You can use it as garnish, to build flavours into your favourite meal or just enjoy it as a treat.” Foodies and chefs have been paying close attention and as a result, diners can expect to see fairy

n his 24-year career Australian flamenco guitarist Gerard Mapstone has supported some of the biggest names in world music, including the Buena Vista Social Club, Estrella Morente and the Gypsy Queens and Kings. After years studying in Spain and the UK, Mapstone is now a local and runs the Sunshine Coast School of Flamenco Guitar. He has recently brought together his flamenco group for a headline show at QPAC as part of the upcoming Brisbane Festival. However, locals will have a chance to see the performance first, at a one-off show at The J Theatre in Noosa Junction tomorrow night. “I thought it to be an excellent opportunity to bring the group up to my neck of the woods,” Mapstone says. “I’ve lived in Yaroomba for the last year and absolutely love it here, and really wanted to share this type of performance with the locals on the Sunshine Coast.” The DaLéCAÑA Flamenco Company also features flamenco

dancer Jessica Statham, along with world-renowned musicians Dheeraj Shrestha on tabla, Shenzo Gregorio on violin and Sydney percussionist James Hauptman. Mapstone says each member of the company is a master of his or her instrument and has performed around the world (Gregorio, for example, heads Shenzo’s Electric Stunt Orchestra, and plays highly skilled and inventive classical violin while suspended from wires up to 10 metres off the ground). Many Australians are yet to discover world music, but Mapstone says his company has the freedom to interpret the genre creatively and to make new compositions and choreography to bring to audiences. “I really love the collaborative side, and what we’re able to do in this country is to really create our own take on the style – we’re not bound by tradition, so we get to come at it with a fresh approach and make it our own,” Mapstone says. “A lot of it is original music

and it’s based on that supporting role for our dancer. Composing for dance is such a creative source for me to be able to explore this style of music – we’ve all discovered it through living there and exploring the traditional elements. In Australia we’re free to experiment within multiple genres and to put our creative touches to it, whilst keeping true to the art of flamenco.” For those who’ve never experienced Latin music and have no idea what to expect, Mapstone’s story is evidence that a chance encounter with the genre can change your life. “Seeing live music was what really got me into playing this style – I was seven and saw a flamenco guitarist and wanted to play the guitar ever since,” he says. He started playing with a guitar teacher at school who taught him classical music, “and since that time I was really drawn to the Spanish and Latin styles, which have led me to discover what flamenco was.”

A new play called That Girl! explores the long-running battle between the eccentric, over-the top Helena Rubinstein and the elegant, composed Elizabeth Arden,

both of whom were vying for the title of Queen of Beauty in a challenging and competitive industry. Penned by local playwright and producer Jo Denver, the play stars Michelle Connelly as Rubenstein and Sharon Grimley as Arden, and follows the characters as they scheme their way to the top and fight to stay one step ahead of their competitors, and each other.

As their client base of indolent, rich matrons crumbles, each has to find new ways to attract clientele. That Girl! opens at Nambour’s Lind Lane Theatre tonight at 8pm, and will run for a further six shows. For bookings phone 5441 1814 or go to lindlane.com.au.

BIG THUMBS UP FOR NEWTOWN FOURSOME WHERE: Solbar, Maroochydore DATE: Saturday September 22 TICKETS: $15 Four self-confessed misfits from Newtown have come together to form Sticky Fingers, a band that improbably blends melodic English pop-folk, West Coast psychedelia and reggae bounce. Sticky Fingers was created when drummer Beaks and bass player Paddy stumbled across underage busker Dylan outside the pub one evening. “We met him,” Paddy says, “when the Coopers Arms bouncer started hassling us to give the dude money.” They’ve just released Caress Your Soul, the first single off their upcoming debut album.

Bored with hanging out at the beach? There are plenty of activities to keep the kids busy these school holidays – with lots for the grown-up kids too.

australia zoo

1638 Steve Irwin Way, Beerwah. Phone 5436 2000. A birthday bash of epic proportions will be held at Australia Zoo throughout the September school holidays, celebrating the first anniversary of the newest and largest exhibit – Africa. It’s exactly one year since the 24-acre multi-species exhibit opened, offering guests the opportunity to see the only giraffe, zebra and active breeding herd of rhinos in Queensland. Australia Zoo owner Terri Irwin says highlights of the past year include the arrival of new cheetah cubs and the first birthday of baby rhino Savannah. “It’s been such a fantastic year for Africa at Australia Zoo,” Irwin says. “We’ve had the arrival of our two new cheetah cubs, Josh and William, all the way from South Africa, as well as the first birthday of our gorgeous little baby rhino, Savannah. “We’re also very excited about

Bindi will also be performing for the first time since 2010 with a brand-new show daily (except on Friday September 28) in the Crocoseum, followed by Terri, Bindi and Robert feeding the crocs. Bindi’s Bootcamp playground has also opened in time for the September school holidays.

LOCAL BUILDING INDUSTRY LEADS THE WAY, AGAIN Stuart Collins is HIA’s branch manager, Sunshine Coast/Wide Bay

E

ach year the Housing Industry Association runs a prestigious housing awards program on the Sunshine Coast. The awards program celebrates the achievements of the local residential construction industry that continues to deliver new levels of quality, excellence and innovation in the design and construction of homes, renovations and kitchen and bathroom projects. One of the strengths of the local awards is that it enables industry participants, including builders, developers, designers and contractors, to compete against their peers across a range of building categories from custom-built homes to renovations, and everything in between. It is a competition that rewards building excellence and challenges industry, with new home owners undoubtedly being the ultimate beneficiaries of this healthy rivalry.

Not surprisingly, the Sunshine Coast is fortunate to have some of the best builders, designers and tradesmen in the country, with local entrants out-performing Gold Coast, Brisbane and Toowoomba builders over a number of years. This is seen in the unprecedented number of winners that herald from the Sunshine Coast that progress on to win state and national awards every year. In 2011 alone the Sunshine Coast won almost half of the major awards on offer at the HIA Queensland Housing Awards and picked up a further award amongst a very select group of winners at the HIA Australian Housing Awards. As a result of this, many industry operators and consumers from outside the Sunshine Coast are turning to local HIA members in order to find new ideas and inspiration for their next housing project. Rather than being seen as

a threat to each other, this will only galvanise the local industry and will provide renewed incentive for even better design and standards of workmanship. In fact this process is already underway with the latest array of entries for this year’s awards set to raise the bar further with the finalists and winners to be announced this Saturday, at a gala event at the Novotel Twin Waters. Not even subdued industry activity can dampen this year’s awards with entries on the increase, additional categories to contest and a number of new entrants participating in the awards program. All in all this has the makings of a recipe for further Sunshine Coast building industry success on the local, state and national stages and will once again place the Sunshine Coast on the map when it comes to building distinction.

The Sunshine Coast/Wide Bay HIA Housing, Kitchen and Bathroom Award winners will be announced this Saturday 22nd September. These winners will be exhibited in My Weekly Preview on Friday 5th October. Partners

ousing Industry Association (HIA) members are more than just home builders. Australian home owners who choose HIA members to do their new home, renovation or kitchen and bathroom project will be choosing qualified building professionals drawing on the strength of a national association. Stuart Collins, the Sunshine Coast branch manager says, “No matter the job – big or small – you can find a member of the HIA who can undertake the job professionally and efficiently.” Collins says the organisation represents a network of more than 40,000 building professionals Australia-wide, from builders, carpenters and joiners, bricklayers, plasterers, tilers, electricians, painters, roofing contractors, kitchen and bathroom specialists and many more. HIA Building professionals are informed and up-to-date with all the latest industry developments,

including technical and business advice. HIA members subscribe to a strict code of conduct that sets acceptable standards of commercial behaviour, which provides additional peace of mind for local home owners. “So if you’re thinking of building or renovating, don’t risk it. Be sure to search www.housinglocal.com.au, brought to you by HIA members – the best in the business,” adds Collins.

FAST FACTS HIA members benefit in myriad ways. As well as technical support, training and seminars, HIA members are given the opportunity to attend events and network, have access to insurance broker services and legal assistance, and receive savings on items such as vehicles, stationery and fuel. Log on to hia.com.au to find out more.

MADE ON THE SUNSHINE COAST

S

o what keeps the Sunshine Coast economy turning over? Is it tourism and construction that provides the bulk of jobs, or small business that keeps Sunshine Coasters heading to work? The Coast economy is made up of all those industries, but according to the Sunshine Coast Council, our economy is also buoyed by agriculture, environmental technologies and manufacturing.

Geoff Peters is the senior business support officer at the council. He says, “Manufacturing is the fifth largest economic contributor on the Coast. There are almost 9000 people across the Coast employed in the manufacturing sector and this makes up 7.5 per cent of the workforce of the Coast.” Nationwide manufacturing is an important component of the economy. The federal Department of Industry, Innovation, Science,

Research and Tertiary Education reports that last year, manufacturing “contributed approximately $106 billion to the economy. Manufacturing is also central to innovation, accounting for over a quarter of all business expenditure in R&D [research and development], representing more than $4 billion invested in research and development.” Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show that in the 2009-10 financial year, businesses involved in manufacturing paid $52 billion in wages and salaries. So what do manufacturers actually manufacture? Anything from food to furniture, metals, wood and plastic products, shoes, clothes and machines. Sunshine Coast manufacturers are not to be forgotten in the grand scheme. Scott Breust is a principal regional development officer with the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning. He says that manufacturers on the Sunshine Coast are involved in a diverse range of products. He lists “extensive clean technology manufacturing businesses”, alongside food and stock feed manufacturers, precision machining companies, paint and render producers and those that manufacture for the mining industry. Perhaps unsurprisingly, we also have jetty and marine manufacturers, plenty of companies that produce building materials, as well as those building transportable homes and campers.

“Expand your Dream” with an Eclipse Series II Supercamper – made right here on the Sunshine Coast! The benchmark in Off Road engineering and construction, Australian Off Road trailers are extreme campers, built tough for Australia’s extreme conditions. Being awarded Off Road Camper of the Year 2011 is testament to Australian Off Road’s quality, design and innovation. [ 52 ] MY W EEKLY P RE VIE W \ SE P TE M B E R 21, 2 0 1 2

9/18/2012 1:50:45 PM

Breust says, “We have a diverse manufacturing sector.” Adding that many manufacturers are wholesalers, rather than those that deal directly with the public, but “others such as [paint and render manufacturer] Rockcote, have a combination of retail and wholesale”. It’s because many manufacturers are purely wholesalers that the average Sunshine Coaster is probably unaware of what a large and important sector manufacturing is in our region. So what help is out there for Sunshine Coast manufacturers to ensure our region is competitive in the national and global marketplace? Breust says the Sunshine Coast Manufacturers Network is a good place for locals to start, plus there are government programs that offer assistance, whether that is financial aid, education, information or setting up links and connections between businesses that can help each other. He recommends small manufacturers head to the local network website at scmanufacturing .com.au. Breust also advises local business to log on to business.qld.gov.au. “There is also a hotline which offers assistance – 132 523,” he says. “And I would certainly encourage manufacturers that haven’t registered to email sunshine.coast@deedi .qld.gov.au.” He adds that our local council offers business and industry assistance – “and manufacturing is an important component of that”.

The council’s Geoff Peters says there are many local manufacturing success stories. Here is his list of the top businesses: • Rockcote • Ozzikleen • Australian Off Road Campers • Ritek • Weir Mineral • Durapower • Gourmet Garden • Cathodic Diecasting • Clearmake • Exlites • Latronics • Metcraft Industries • Plastec • Quikcorp • The Jetty Specialist • Zehnder Gluten Free

So what can the average Sunshine Coaster do to help our manufacturing industry? For a start, it’s always a good idea to ‘buy local’. Why? • Locally produced products do not need to be transported to our region, and therefore have a lower environmental impact. • Quality locally produced food tends to be much fresher and much better for you than produce that has been transported long distances. • Small business is this country’s largest employer – buying local helps support many local employees. • Supporting local business helps build and enhance a sense of community as locals connect with each other. • You can find out the story of the product from the person who created it.

A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE WORDS Peter Atkinson, AAP IMAGES AAP

I

t’s often said that a good marriage is built on the art of compromise. So, when you try to marry a sleek sports car with a practical hatchback, you’d expect that would involve making all sorts of compromises. Yet the clever people at Hyundai have defied that logic with their very smart new model, the Veloster. Hardly a compromise to be found. In fact, it’s more a marriage of convenience. For a car that looks alluringly sporty, it’s one of the most practical things you could imagine. It looks expensive, but it’s not. And it

looks fast, but it’s very safe. The Veloster is yet another example of how the ambitious Korean brand – and its corporate sibling Kia – is taking the game right up to its international competitors. Once a budget-focused brand, Hyundai now boasts one of the most attractive fleets on the Australian market. Even at first glance, the Veloster catches your eye, with its sharp, athletic styling. Hyundai calls it “fluidic design” – a language being rolled out across all its new models. But look more closely and you’ll see the Veloster is more than your average sporty little coupe.

Take its asymmetrical design, for instance. While, in typical coupe fashion, there’s a single door on the driver’s side, Hyundai has built two doors on the passenger side – allowing front and rear seat passengers to get into and out of the car without the usual seat-folding, back-breaking climb normally associated with sporty machines. It’s not the first time the idea has been broached – Mini’s Clubman and the Mazda RX8 both included rearward-opening “suicide doors” for back-seat passengers, but the Veloster takes a different, far more practical

FEATURES Six airbags with five-star safety rating; Vehicle Stability Management; electronic stability control, traction control, ABS with EBD and brake assist; cruise control, air-conditioning; tyre pressure monitoring system, daytime running lamps, automatic headlights; LCD touch screen with MP3 CD player; rear parking camera and audio park assist; electric windows and mirrors; smart key with push button start. THIRST 6.4L/100km (official figure). VERDICT A feel-good car for the younger generation, that they can actually afford. BOTTOM LINE From $23,990, auto $2000 extra; Veloster Plus (as tested) $27,990.

approach, with two conventional doors, cleverly disguised to look as if there’s just one. So while it still looks like a sporty two-door hatchback (and a very handsome one at that) it has all the practicality of a “normal� car. And the 1.6 litre, four-cylinder engine, while delivering enough power and response to make this an enjoyable little car to drive, does so without sacrificing fuel efficiency – with an official thirst of just 6.4L/100km. Hyundai has also given the Veloster an optional six-speed, dual-clutch auto transmission – the first time this has been offered on one of its models in Australia – giving improved performance and fuel efficiency for those who’d rather not change gears themselves. It’s just one of the many ways sporty meets practical in this little machine. The dash presentation is modern and stylish with flashes of brushed alloy (well, silver plastic) and an easy-to-use, sensibly laid-out centre stack. A touch screen at the top allows you to change radio stations with the push of one finger, while air-conditioning and other audio functions are logical and well-defined. An engine start button – keyless entry and start are standard on the Veloster – sits at the bottom of the centre stack, just behind the gearshifter, again evoking a sporty image. A chunky leather-clad steering wheel is adorned with buttons for cruise control, audio

Even at first glance, the Veloster catches your eye, with its sharp, athletic styling

volume and settings and additional buttons for trip computer functions. Okay, the Veloster isn’t an out-and-out performance machine – with more show than go. If that’s your desire there’s now a turbocharged Veloster, released this month, with 50 per cent more power and a $31,000 pricetag. But there’s enough punch in the normally aspirated version to make it a satisfying drive nonetheless. Its 103 kilowatts of power are adequate and readily accessible, delivered in a linear fashion, although its lack of torque (just 166Nm) is particularly noticeable in the midrange, where the Veloster struggles a bit. Even so, its chassis is nicely sorted and the little coupe sits sturdily on the road, rides comfortably and enjoys precise, nimble handling. Brakes, too, are more than adequate.

The Veloster is likely to appeal to young 20-somethings looking to buy their first new car – with an entry price-point at $23,990 certain to put it on lots of people’s shopping lists. The auto pushes up that price by $2000 and many will be tempted by the Veloster Plus, which for an extra $4000 gets you goodies like a sunroof, LED daytime running lights, climate-control air and electric driver’s seat. But even in basic form the Veloster would be a good thing. It reminds me, in fact, of the Toyota Celica of the early ’80s – a car whose performance also fell short of its sporty looks but was a runaway seller nonetheless. The Veloster is attractive, practical, economical and, importantly for the young buyers it targets, enjoys a full suite of safety equipment. In many ways, a perfect marriage.

Herbie up for sale

2012 International Motor Show missing some key players

Texas welcomes Speedy Gonzales

A Daimler Brand

Car Advice reports that a new high speed limit has been approved in Texas, allowing motorists to drive at 137km/h along a stretch of the Texas state highway. Currently, Australia’s fastest drivers must head to Northern Territory where they can experience travel at 130km/h. Speeding Texans will have to pay a premium toll to use their road.

Toyota enters battle for top spot Toyota Hilux has again topped the sales charts to be within striking distance of the Mazda 3. The Thai-built ute is only 573 units behind Mazda with only four months to go. This is uncharted territory – no commercial vehicle has ever earned the title of Australia’s favourite car.

Flex. Ability.

One of Disney’s favourite sons is up for sale in Sydney. The fully restored 1960s love bug – one of seven remaining and the only one of its type in Australia – has an asking price of $150,000. So far no takers but the owner has made ‘Herbie’ available for charities to help them raise money while patiently waiting for its new owner.

It seems this year’s Motor Show in Sydney will be without almost half the brands on sale in our market. Crowdpulling names such as Ferrari, Maserati, Audi, BMW, Renault and Volvo have decided their marketing dollar will be better spent elsewhere. Two key world premieres are expected from both Mazda and Lexus. Stay tuned for this one.

‘SENSIBLE’ VOLVO IS NO SLOUCH WORDS Peter Atkinson AAP IMAGE AAP WE’VE always tended to think of Volvos as cars for ‘sensible’ people. The Swedish brand’s reputation for safety, reliability and, until recently, conservative styling has seen to that. So the prospect of driving the most ‘sensible’ Volvo of them all – the brand’s most fuel-efficient and eco-friendly car ever – might sound a bit boring. Yet the new Volvo C30 DRIVe is anything but boring. Using a 1.6-litre, four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, the DRIVe claims official combined fuel useage of 3.8l/100km, while emitting a planet-friendly 99g/km of CO2. Usually, these figures are all but impossible to replicate in real-world driving situations, but with some careful application of the throttle and obeying (mostly) the Volvo’s instructions when to change gears (displayed by a little up or down arrow in the instrument panel) we

came pretty close at 6.1l/100km. All up we covered close to 400 kilometres – almost exclusively in the city and much of it in stop-start peak-hour traffic. Unlike some super-efficient machines, the C30 is still quite an engaging thing to drive. The diesel engine is pleasantly quiet and the six-speed manual transmission a breeze to use. The clutch is light and progressive and

the manual gearshift is crisp and precise. It’s no racing car, but give the throttle a decent shove and the diesel’s 240 Newton metres of torque will get it up and rolling smartly. Okay, it won’t get you a start in Bathurst but it’s no slouch when compared to cars with comparable fuel efficiency. And the DRIVe is not only the

most fuel-efficient model in the C30 range – it’s also the cheapest, with an entry-level price of $36,990. The ride is smooth and quiet, wind and road noise are kept to a minimum and the Volvo C30 DRIVe is a car that can be driven at a reasonable clip without too much effort. Truth is, though, that the greatest enjoyment we had in this car was seeing how low we could keep the fuel-use readout, and how far we could stretch the kilometres-toempty figure. And that’s quite a range – given that the Volvo can travel up to 1300 kilometres on its 52-litre tank. Does that sound sensible enough? MAKE/MODEL VOLVO C30 DRIVe BOTTOM LINE $36,990.

INFINITI CARS NOW ON SALE IN AUSTRALIA

T

A Daimler Brand

he first two models from Infiniti’s stable – the Infiniti FX performance crossover and the Infiniti M sedan – are now available for Australian buyers to inspect, test drive and buy. The first customer deliveries have already started, says a spokesman for the brand. Infiniti says the arrival of the first shipment of its cars is a milestone in the company’s Australian market introduction program, which has been tailored to establish the

performance luxury marque as a long-term fixture in the Australian luxury car market. The first Australian-delivered Infiniti to hit local roads was a 287kW FX50S in moonlight white. The performance crossover was delivered by Infiniti Centre Sydney. Kevin Snell, general manager of Infiniti Cars Australia, says Infiniti has received a strong local welcome and brings an ethos of quality and care that Australian luxury car buyers are certain to enjoy. “Australian customers now have a new choice in performance luxury,” he says. “Infiniti has established a strong reputation for delivering exhilarating driver’s cars that feature exciting designs and leading-edge technology along with exceptional customer hospitality that makes luxury car ownership special. My team and I are thrilled to make these available to Australian luxury car buyers.”

Subaru has confirmed it is adding a new X variant to its All-Wheel Drive 2013 Liberty range, with increased ground clearance and a featured-packed specification list. Liberty 2.5X and 3.6X are available exclusively as automatic sedans, both featuring Subaru’s innovative EyeSight driver assist system. Among the new features are a new design grille and front bumper, sporty sills with chrometype highlights and new 18-inch alloy wheel pattern as well as an

extra 50mm ground clearance. The Liberty 3.6X also gets SI-Drive with three different modes to suit driver preferences, chrome door handles and boot garnish, high lustre gunmetal alloy wheel finish, and unique door and dashboard trim finish.

Holden releases special-edition range Holden has announced details of a special-edition ‘Z-Series’ range that combines luxury and sport features with value for money. The Z-Series range is available on comfort and sports models across all VE body styles and is packed full of features, value and excitement, Holden says. Holden’s executive director of sales, marketing and aftersales, John Elsworth, describes the new range as one of Holden’s “best special editions ever”. “Never before have we put together such an exciting range that not only looks fantastic but is so feature-packed, making it outstanding value,” he says.

The luxury of choice.

THE DIFFICULT JOB OF FINDING A NAME FOR A CAR WORDS Thomas Geiger IMAGES AAP

The Romanesque languages are the most popular because they work all over the world and have a positive note

C

a feeling for language are necessary,” he adds. “It appears easier for those manufacturers who follow a certain numbered logic,” says Marion Ballier, who is responsible for developing car names at the Interbrand agency in Hamburg. Audi for instance has its A model series while Mercedes has its A or S Class. Gotta has his own way of going about it. Initially he locks himself into a quiet room with the car to feel its “soul”. Then he looks at the philosophy behind the product and the potential customer group. After this process the real namefinding process starts only with the integration of creative advertising writers. “The Romanesque languages are the most popular because they work all over the world and have a positive note,” says Ballier. From these the root words are taken and experiments made with certain endings. In this way the Ford Mondeo, the Opel Insignia and Fiat Punto found their names. “If nothing can be found in the Romanesque languages the circle is extended to terms that you would not just find on Google,” Ballier explains. The Nissan name Qashqai is an

ar makers spend a lot of time and energy finding a catchy name for a new model. The name needs to fit the image and work in every cultural context, but the effort sometimes leads to flops and funny side-effects. Opel spent months finding a name for its new small car that will celebrate its debut at the Paris Motor Show in September. “Initially the working title was ‘Junior’ but after sifting through hundreds of proposals the name ‘Adam’ was chosen after company founder Adam Opel,” says Opel’s press spokesman Patrick Munsch. The result in this case appears obvious. But it can take dozens of people to search for the right name and model designation. At the end of the process names emerge like Adam for the Opel or Countryman for the new off-road Mini. Strange-sounding names are also part of the process. Suzuki is calling its new flagship model Kizashi, while Nissan has named its new multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) Evalia. In addition, combinations of new letters and numbers are used for the rear boot lid. “On the one hand the name must sound new, fresh and stir attention but it must also fit to the model,” says Manfred Gotta, who often advises carmakers in the process. “Lots of creativity and

invention with North African roots just like the Touareg for a VW. And the name Amarok for the VW pick-up stems from the Inuit language. “It is the term for the Arctic wolf,” says Ballier. Sometimes it also helps to look at the past, according to Gotta. VW has revived the Beetle with a new look and soon there will also be a Skoda Rapid. Jaguar also took some time to find a name for its new Roadster and then opted for the F-Type that resonates well with the classics like the C-Type, the D-Type and the E-Type. Geographical names are also sometimes used. Examples are the Opel Monza, Ford Capri or Hyundai Santa Fe. “But here too care needs to be taken that the conclusions and associations fit,” says Ballier. “When the Spanish carmaker calls its small car Ibiza and a Chevrolet Malibu comes from America, then that fits,” she says. Once a first selection has been made, a thorough investigation is carried out to ensure that the name fits the cultural context of the target market and does not have any negative connotations. Every now and then legal problems also arise. “The manufacturers have copyrighted more names than they use,” says Gotta. VW has registered all winds after naming the Golf, Scirocco and Passat. Mercedes was forced to pay compensation to a French artist after launching the E-Class. The artist had registered the name ‘Classe E’. BMW saw its sport division ‘M’ in danger, forcing Mercedes into adding an L to the ML-Class.

nterior decorators who arrange rooms according to the principles of feng shui place furniture and furnishings in a room in a way that activates positive energy, but there is a lot more to it than making minor adjustments to where the furniture is placed. When people suffer from health problems, fight with their partner or face financial pressure, it would seem at first glance to have little to do with the way they have arranged their homes. But when things perpetually go wrong in their lives, they should contact a feng shui adviser, says Regina Basaran. Basaran is an interior decorator and has studied feng shui for many years. She believes the arrangement and decoration of a home can influence the flow of positive energy and promote health and success in things like finding a job or a partner. The direction a home faces, the elements and the birthday of the person living in the space – all these things are central tenets of feng shui. While some people swear by the teachings, others consider it nonsense. Either way, it is a fact that feng shui originated in the Far East, is more than 3000 years old and tries to achieve harmony between a person and his or her surroundings. Feng shui consultants tend to advise people who have a general interest in feng shui principles against trying to do it themselves.

Armin Hohmann, a member of the executive board of Germany’s feng shui association, considers it to be a complex science. To arrange a room according to feng shui, complicated calculations must be carried out in order to determine the correct position of the bed and to set up a desk for optimal success. Many books contain tips on how to arrange a room according to feng shui principles, but Hohmann says they often are not easy to follow or are incomprehensible because many systems are blended together. “When lay people try to implement these tips, they usually make the situation worse,” he says. Placing water elements in a room is a good example of something people should be careful with, Basaran says. A small waterfall can enable strong energy activation, but in the wrong place it can have a negative effect. “A family that I advised set up a small waterfall that apparently emitted energy for injuries of the hand because within a short period of time four members of the family injured themselves on the thumb or wrist,” she says. After the family removed the fountain, the mishaps stopped. The right place for a small indoor water decoration can be found by using a chart and formula, said Basaran. The data needed are the birthdays of the people living in the home, the date they moved in and the direction the front door faces. This formula is also used to determine the positioning of other objects. In order to stabilise the energy at the back of a house, feng shui expert and architect Martina Stenglin places symbols of protection at the precise place that has been determined by the formula.

The best thing to do for your teens, though, is give them their own space. Yes, they should be watched over and guided, but during the teen years, a need for independence sprouts and parents can help them feel comfortable in their own, personal independent space. The bedroom is the place. Start out by asking your teen what he or she wants the room to look like. You probably already have an idea, but asking will make him or her more confident that the space is not one that mum or dad is imposing. Does he or she like bold colours? Do those bold colours go against the decor in the rest of the house? Perhaps it works to make the room unique and separate-looking from the rest of the house. After all, you can close the door when visitors pop in. Perhaps one wall can be red and the other three blue. Maybe one wall can be hot pink while the others are grey. Or one wall can be purple with the other three green. Let your teenager choose, as well as help paint it. If pastels are the preference, again, let them pick the colours regardless of the hues elsewhere in the house.

VIC MURPHY

The room must have a full-length mirror. This is the age when how the teen looks is more important than just about anything else. Having a full-length mirror on a wall or on the back of the door will let him check himself out before venturing out into the world of critics. Storage is important in every room of the house. In a teen’s room, sometimes the wardrobes overflow. Shelves on the walls might help with storage. Schoolbooks, computer accessories, souvenirs and the like can be put out of the way, yet still be handy on the shelves. Containers that fit under the bed are another way for less-used-but-necessary items – such as extra blankets or pillows for the occasional overnight guest. Off-season clothes, such as jumpers during summer, or swimming gear during winter, can be kept there. You might want to keep the window treatments light. If you make the room too dark, it might not be so easy to get up in the morning for school, and sleeping the day away on weekends isn’t the healthiest way a teen can spend the day off. A comfortable room is a great escape from the real or imagined problems teens go through, but be sure to leave the bedroom door open most of the time so the teen is still a part of the family. AAP

THE LOWDOWN ON FHOCG

C

hanges to the First Home Owner Construction Grant were announced last week as part of the Queensland state budget. Here are some key points, as reported by Stuart Collins from the Housing Industry Association: • The Newman Government’s grant is worth $15,000. • The FHOCG is for first-home buyers who are buying a newly constructed or off-the-plan property and replaces the First Home Owner Grant, which was $7000. • Those fi rst-home buyers who are about to purchase an existing dwelling will have until October

The FHOCG is for newly constructed or off-the-plan property

11 to finalise their contract (to be eligible for the $7000 grant). • First-home buyers signing contracts for new properties before September 12 will receive $7000 and those signing on or after September 12 will receive $15,000 • Major banks and financial institutions will continue to advertise the FHOCG in their loan marketing material, reducing the cost for taxpayers. The following eligibility criteria still applies: • The home you are purchasing must become your principal place of residence within a year of taking ownership. • It must be your principle place of residence for at least six months. • You must not dispose of all or part of the property within one year after you start to occupy the residence as your home. • The property must be bought or built at a value under $750,000.

WHAT’S NEW IN CALOUNDRA? Jam Property held its official launch in Caloundra last Wednesday morning, introducing its new look to existing clients and locals. After 15 years in the Brisbane property industry principal Loretta Morgan has taken over the well-known Caloundra Real Estate Agency and says the fun new name and brand echo her team’s commitment to continuing a high level of service for clients. “It’s fun, a little bit different but also reflects the care, attention to detail and effort we put into looking after our clients – just like the age old process of making jam,” Morgan says. Dozens of people went along to Gourmet & More on Bulcock Street for a morning tea that fittingly included scones with jam and cream. It was then back to work a few doors down for the Jam Property team, which is offering sales and property management services to a broad range of residential and commercial clients.

LONG-AWAITED UPGRADE NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR BLI BLI RETAIL PRECINCT

A

major redevelopment of Bli Bli’s main shopping precinct is set to create a new commercial heart, re-energise the local economy and employ up to 200 local residents. The redeveloped precinct is under construction and will be known as the Bli Bli River Markets Shopping Centre with more than 3000 square metres of retail and commercial space. Michael and Roz White have owned and operated the local IGA in the centre since 2004 and also own the existing shopping precinct, which includes a bottle shop, cafe, butcher, pharmacy, newsagency, bakery, hardware store, hairdresser and medical centre. Michael says the redevelopment is much needed as Bli Bli’s increasing population demands better

Paul Brandenburg from Stewart’s Constructions with Roz and Michael White

Artist’s impression retail and professional services in its community. “The redevelopment will include a larger IGA-branded store, new and larger shops for existing tenants and we will also welcome several new businesses to the precinct, including more medical, retail and dining experiences,” Roz says. Roz and Michael have been actively involved with the Bli Bli community since purchasing the shopping centre. “We are really excited to be able to expand and upgrade the existing shopping centre and present a modern, new look and convenient shopping precinct to the community,” Roz says. “The existing IGA footprint will increase by five times … with a comprehensive range of fresh and locally sourced products and a full grocery range. The revamped IGA will be [the size] of a major supermarket and we expect staff levels will increase from around 40 full- and part-time staff to 120. “There are three or four major residential

developments underway in Bli Bli and they cater to a cross-section of the community. There will be 170 new dwellings at Halcyon’s over-50s retirement village and they are all within walking distance of the shopping precinct so it’s important that we meet their expectations,” she says. Bli Bli already boasts several major tourist attractions including Sunshine Castle and the cable ski park and by 2014 the Horton Park Golf Club will have relocated to Finland Road. “When you combine that with the town’s growing population then it’s clear that we need to improve our offering so locals don’t have to travel long distances to get basic goods and services,” Roz says. The redevelopment will be undertaken by Stewart’s Construction, is expected to take 12 to 18 months to complete and will include car parking for 154 vehicles and traffic lights, which will be funded by the developer.

NEW REFORMS WELCOMED Last week the State Government introduced amendments to the Sustainable Planning Act following a six-month period of consultation. According to the Property Council of Australia, the amendments included the establishment of the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning as the single assessment manager and the removal of ‘red tape’ for development applications

involving state resources. The State Government will also provide greater flexibility for assessment managers to determine the relevance of information when deciding if an application is properly made, and provide a maximum level of assessment for certain low-risk operational works. The Planning and Environment Court will also be given more discretion.

SURF REPORT with Steve Harris from Suburban Surf

Well surfers looks like this weekend will not be much better than the last. With school holidays starting that’s not the best news. There will be a small easterly swell from Friday through to Sunday. Wave heights will be around the two-foot mark on Thursday, Friday and Saturday but decreasing on Sunday. Friday, winds will be N/NW early, tending northerly later. Saturday, there will be light offshore winds early tending S/SE through the day on a dropping swell. On Sunday there will be similar conditions to Saturday but on a smaller swell. Best bet is get in early with winds offshore on a low tide early with high around lunchtime. Find a bank on the open beaches for more swell in the morn and then look for a protected corner for the arvo. Here’s hoping the ocean delivers soon. Good surfing.

FISHING REPORT with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Plenty of quality bream and flathead in all rivers, using baits or lures. Kayak fishermen in the Twin Waters canals having a ton of fun catching large wolf herring, but beware of the sharp teeth. Mud crabs are still elusive as the water is too clear, a spot of rain will help bring them on. SURF: Quality tailor caught off Caloundra beaches and along Kawana Beach, so most beach fishermen will benefit from a dawn or dusk fish. The school holidays should prove busy on beaches if these tailor stay around long enough. Look for the deeper gutters. Pilchards are the best bait. OFFSHORE: Most species are proving hard to find, with the changing season a reason, with water temperatures slowly rising. The close-in reefs are producing the best catches. FRESHWATER: The temperatures are rising inland, which brings out the fish on the local dams and the upper reaches of rivers. Great catches are being reported from Lake Borumba for golden perch (yellowbelly).
