OUR STORY My Weekly Preview is a high quality magazine delivering more of what matters to the Sunshine Coast. It features news, business, regular columnists, interesting facts and figures for that hot topic at the dinner table, motoring, socials, travel, health, lifestyles and more, as well as the most up-to-date information on local real estate. The magazine is 100% locally owned, which means we don’t just talk about being local, we are local, we live it every day. Delivered fresh every Friday. We’re also conscious of the environment at MWP – all our home delivered magazines are wrapped in biodegradable plastic.

ow would you feel about food packaging having similar health warnings as those on cigarette packets?

New food labelling is one of the suggestions of a Sunshine Coast doctor who is becoming increasingly frustrated with the high level of heart disease in this region. In our cover story, My Weekly Preview investigates why we are ignoring health warnings about heart disease, and what can be done to address this national crisis.

Also this week, you get to meet a local scientist turned stylist, travel to Hamilton Island for a laidback holiday and have a quick chat with a former business coach who has become a cooking instructor.

Of course, we have all the usual tips on beauty, fashion and making the most of life, as well as all the local news, views, places to go and people to see.

There’s also plenty of property, including a special look at the start of our newest city, Aura.

QUICK CHAT

A TASTE OF THE GOOD LIFE

Demi Paterson of Kawana Island recently opened Patersons Cooking School, realising a long-cherished dream to teach cooking.

FIRST JOB?

has been my best as Will and I eloped in Indonesia. It was amazing.

My first job was cutting and overlocking, as my family were in fashion. I was seven years old.

CAN YOU NOMINATE A DAY IN YOUR LIFE THAT TURNED OUT TO BE A TURNING POINT?

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING ON? It’s a bit of a secret but it involves bringing the foodies of the Sunshine Coast together.

I call that ‘inspirational discontent’, when something triggers in your brain and you make a usually drastic change. For me, I had been teaching business for a while and even though I loved it, I had wanted to teach cooking for 15 years. Well one day I was teaching a friend how to make a particular dish and I felt such happiness that I thought, why am I putting this off? There will never be the perfect time, so as soon as she left I got online, found a premises and registered the business and here I am.

YOUR FAMILY INCLUDES. . .

My awesome husband Will, my daughter Natalie and her brood and my son Stevie and his.

DO YOU HAVE A NICKNAME? I’ve never had a nickname till I became a Paterson, now I get Mrs P. It’s cute.

FIRST CAR? OMG, I was 18 years old, it was some sort of Chrysler that we paid $200 for and it would conk out if you didn’t constantly rev it, so at the lights, everyone thought I wanted to race them – nightmare.

YOUR GREATEST REGRET? IMAGE: CARLYLOOYAH.COM.AU

I don’t believe in regrets. Every experience, no matter how bad or sad, teaches us something.

FAVOURITE BOOK? I have two really, The Magic of Thinking Big and The Rise and Rise of Kerry Packer.

WHAT ARE YOU READING NOW? I am trying to learn how to dive, (I’m not very good ) so I am reading Adventures in Diving.

FAVOURITE SONG? Heroes, David Bowie

BEST ADVICE YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN? Always give more than people are expecting to get.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED ON THE SUNSHINE COAST? For the best part of 25 years.

WHY DO YOU LIVE HERE? I’m like a homing pigeon, I might leave for a while but I always return. It is where I feel most at peace.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE ON THE SUNSHINE COAST? My favourite place is a spot on the beach not far from our house where Will proposed. We go there most Friday nights for fish and chips and take a bottle of wine. It

reminds us both of why we live here and we unwind after the week.

WHERE DO YOU TAKE VISITORS WHEN THEY COME TO THE COAST? We start off at Mooloolaba to show them you can have a tourist industry without spoiling the area and Maleny and Montville for the views.

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ON THE COAST WHAT WOULD IT BE? I would love to see business people more supportive of each other and locals supporting local businesses. I am always hearing people talk about shopping in Brisbane.

BEST DAY IN YOUR LIFE? Other than when my kids were born, January 1 this year

%AN 10T0 LI A R AUS MADE

WHAT ACHIEVEMENT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF? On a personal level, it is my children. They grew up without a TV so we always had activities. Now Natalie is a successful designer of Emu designs – she recently came back from New York fashion week. My son Stevie is a French fine dining chef and artist. I am also proud of the legacy I have left with Demi International Training School.

YOU ARE HAPPIEST WHEN? I’m with my family, preferably in the kitchen.

WHAT FRUSTRATES YOU THE MOST? Waste of any kind, food, time, money, a life. People put more planning in to a party than they do their lives.

ADVICE TO YOUR 18-YEAR-OLD SELF? Don’t worry so much, the universe is looking after you, you are going to be just fine.

TEA OR COFFEE? Coffee, strong and hot. I’m Greek after all.

NRL OR AFL? Ha, I follow Billy Slater, I don’t care if he takes up ice skating! Seriously though I prefer boxing, which surprises a lot of people as I’m such a girly girl.

COVER STORY

WAITING FOR A CHANGE OF HEART

With tens of thousands of Australians dying of cardiovascular disease each year, why do we fail to heed the warnings? WORDS: Richard O’Leary

“If I had the stroke at home, the medical specialists say I would have been dead, because nobody was there. It’s by the grace of God that I’m still here”

I

t was just another day in paradise when a bowl of tom yum soup saved Ken Kipping’s life.

It was a cloudy but dry September 10 last year, when the Sunrise Beach resident who had turned 70 just two days before, pulled into a car park at Noosa Junction just after 8pm to pick up his Thai takeaway. Seconds later he suffered a massive stroke.

A passing driver saw him slumped against the steering wheel and did a U-turn to see if he was all right. That decision by good Samaritan Josh Collins was the first step towards saving Kipping’s life.

“He saw the state I was in,” Kipping says, “and grabbed a passer-by who happened to be medically trained, and they immediately contacted an ambulance.”

“The ambulance took me to Nambour Hospital, which has a dedicated stroke unit…and I was injected with a new drug which dissolved the clot.”

“They’re [medical staff ] all shaking

their heads about how it all came together, it’s by the grace of God and good medicine that I’m still here.”

But while the miracle was being performed, Kipping’s wife was driving back to the Sunshine Coast from Brisbane with her daughter – fearing the worst, especially since Ken had already suffered two heart attacks in the past.

much when they got there.”

“My wife’s a big fan of Mary McKillop, so she copped a few prayers on the way up. It would have been a terrible drive for them, thinking the worst.”

“You talk to the doctors – it’s as close as you get, they said. I tracked the ambo down and when I saw him at the ambulance station he said: ‘Mate, I can’t

“Australia is the third most obese country in the English speaking world, and Queensland is, how should I put it, the fattest state in Australia” Professor Kim Greaves

“They had to ring my wife, of course, and she drove up with my eldest daughter who is an occupational therapist and fully familiar with strokes and how serious the situation was, and so they were virtually told not to expect

believe you are standing, let alone talking. I couldn’t tell you then – I told you, you were going to be all right – but when I saw you, you were a goner.’”

Kipping says if he hadn’t gone out to get his dinner that night – he would have

been home alone when the stroke struck. He says his near death experience has given him a new perspective on life.

“You think you’re indestructible to be honest, it just shows you it can happen to anyone.”

People feeling bulletproof is an attitude Professor Kim Greaves comes across every day as a consultant cardiologist and Director of Cardiac Research at the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service.

“It is frustrating, but it’s more of an issue with people thinking that once I have a heart attack the doctors will cure it, take some tablets and it will all go away.”

“Unfortunately, whilst we can do a lot of things for you, the way to really make a big difference…is at the start, before they have problems, when they are healthy. So it is frustrating, yes.

“Australia is the third most obese country in the English speaking world, and Queensland is, how should I put it, the fattest state in Australia.”

“On the Sunshine Coast, certain myweeklypreview.com.au

areas are in the higher than average category – in the red zone basically.”

“The World Health Organisation says this is a major issue and we’re headed towards a precipice as the Western world is getting heavier and heavier, with all the complications that go with that which lead to heart disease. Heart disease is the major end point, really.”

In Australia alone, one person dies every 12 minutes from cardiovascular disease (heart, stroke and blood vessel diseases) – more than 43,000 people a year.

It affects one in six Australians or nearly four million people. It was the main cause for 518,563 hospitalisations in 2012/13 and played a role in an additional 680,000 hospitalisations.

Coronary heart disease is the biggest cause of death in Australia, claiming 19,766 lives in 2013 – which is 13 per cent of all deaths.

But it’s not just the deaths caused by cardiovascular disease that the health community is worried about. Just as concerning is the number of people who are left incapacitated – and that flows through to the family and the entire community.

“What we see are patients who have had heart attacks and so on, and if they develop heart failure that limits their capacity even further. They are breathless on exertion, and it really does affect your way of life, and those around you.

“You imagine you are born with an eight-cylinder engine and you end up with a three-cylinder engine, that does prohibit what you can do and your enjoyment of life.

“For every one person that dies from it (heart attack) you’ll have five who are left in that limbo area.”

There’s no big secret to help reduce your chances of heart disease – doctors have been telling their patients for years to stop smoking, eat better and exercise.

Despite that – the condition continues to kill tens of thousands of Australians

every year.

Greaves doesn’t blame the patients, he says they are victims of the way our society has developed over the decades – in particular marketing that promotes food that’s easy to eat, high in calories, and overstimulates insulin.

He says there’s an urgent need for cultural change – and that should start in the workplace.

“The management needs to change how it thinks when we go to work.

Management needs to create an

While creating health-friendly places to work is a good start, Greaves believes the measures must go much further to make a real impact on heart disease in Australia, including warnings on food similar to the ones on cigarettes.

“There needs to be better labelling, there needs to be some kind of labelling that says this is not good for you to eat, it has high calories, so although you get a quick sugar rush and it tastes nice, at the end of the day, you are doing yourself no good.”

HEART WEEK EXPO Professor Kim Greaves is one of the speakers at the Sunshine Coast Heart Week Expo being held at the Lake Kawana Community Centre from 8am to noon tomorrow (April 30).

The expo includes: • Leisurely walk from 8am • Guest speakers • Free vascular health check • Exhibitors • Cooking demonstrations • Food ideas for health eating • Pump for a healthy heart challenge.

FAST FACTS

Ken Kipping with exercise physiologist John Turnbull Prevention is better than cure, which is why Greaves believes schools also have an important role to play.

“Kids need to be made aware of what to eat, what not to eat, the right food, educated correctly, and children who are putting on weight inappropriately, need to be brought into play as well.

One Australian who has heard the message is Ken Kipping. He’s lost about 10 kilograms and is exercising more since his close call last year.

“If I had the stroke at home, the medical specialists say I would have been dead, because nobody was there. It’s by the grace of God that I’m still here.”

environment where it’s okay to exercise in your lunch break – where it’s encouraged with shower facilities.

Health classes at the start of the day or the end of the day, or even in lunch breaks. You need to change the food in the food courts, the vending machines, the areas you work. Walking meetings.

But it needs to come from the top down.”

A study by Queensland Health found 30 per cent of its workforce was obese.

One of the ways it’s trying to change that frightening statistic is the development of a wellness program at the new Sunshine Coast Public University Hospital, which will incorporate a healthier lifestyle into the workplace.

• Cardiovascular disease kills one Australian every 12 minutes – claiming the lives of 43,603 Australians in 2013.

• Cardiovascular disease affects one in six Australians or 3.72 million people.

• Coronary heart disease is the single leading cause of death in Australia, killing 19,766 people in 2013.

• It’s estimated over 350,000 Australians have had a heart attack at some stage in their lives.

• Each year, 54,000 Australians suffer a heart attack – that’s one heart attack every nine minutes.

PARENTS ADVISED TO GIVE KIDS FLU JAB Parents are being urged to vaccinate their children this flu season with 2015 figures showing a large number of young people contracted influenza. Children and youths under 20 years of age made up 40 per cent of all notified cases of influenza in Queensland last year and a fifth of all influenza related hospital admissions. Nine per cent of hospitalised children with confirmed influenza spent time in the Intensive Care Unit. Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service Public Health physician Dr Andrew Langley says influenza is more easily spread where large numbers of people gather.

STUDY SUNSHINE COAST PORTAL NOW LIVE A new regional initiative is set to introduce the 300,000-plus international students who come to study in Australia to the Sunshine Coast and help keep more local students at home for their tertiary education. The council’s Study Sunshine Coast portal is now live and will promote education to both overseas and domestic students. Education and Research Industry Taskforce chairman Brian Anker said the education sector employed more than 13,000 people locally. Visit studysunshinecoast.com.au.

$20,000 RAISED

MEGAWATT Sunshine Coast Council has awarded Downer the contract to build a 15-megawatt solar farm at Valdora. Mayor Jamieson says the council will become the nation’s first local government to build a utility scale, grid-connected solar farm. “The 15-megawatt solar farm, covering 24 hectares of a 49-hectare site will be the biggest solar farm in Queensland — the next largest being the Gatton Solar Farm at 3.3 megawatts and the fifth largest solar farm in the nation.” By 2017 it will offset 100 per cent of the organisation’s electricity consumption across all its facilities and operations.

More than 500 people rallied together for the annual Pretty in Pink Bra Walkathon at Moffat Beach on April 17 to raise support and funds for Maroochydore’s Dickie family. Mother of two, and wife, Renata Dickie lost her battle with cancer earlier this month. Renata, who was originally diagnosed with breast cancer and more recently fought secondary cancer, was to be the recipient of this year’s walk. Event organiser Melinda Bingley said the $20,000 that was raised would be donated to Renata’s husband Steve and children, Daniel, six, and Liam, two.

NEW PORTFOLIOS FOR COUNCILLORS The newly elected Sunshine Coast councillors were last week appointed new portfolios to provide specific responsibilities for the fouryear term. “Individual portfolio councillors will play a key role in engaging with our community, business and industry,’’ he said.

Councillor Jason O’Pray will oversee tourism, events and sport; Jenny McKay will assist the mayor on international relations and also head up the community and environment portfolios, while Stephen Robinson will head up economic development and innovation. The complete list is available on the council’s website.

PROFILE

PLASTIC BOTTLES TO BIKINIS

Mooloolaba marine science graduate Steph Gabriel is helping clean up our oceans one bikini at a time. Words Leigh Robshaw

W

hat led 27-year-old marine science graduate Steph Gabriel to create bikinis made of recycled plastic bottles and discarded fishing nets?

It’s a long story.

In 2009, Gabriel was working as an events coordinator in Sydney, where she grew up, when she became dissatisfied with the hectic corporate life. So as you do when you’re 20, she quit her job and took off overseas on a grand three-year adventure.

She began in the US, working on boats in Fort Lauderdale, then scored a job leading snorkelling tours and handling southern Atlantic stingrays in the Cayman Islands. It was there she realised she wanted to spend her life working in a marine environment – but it had to be in some way related to conservation.

“Stingray City is a sandbar where all these boats sail to,” she says. “We would sail out to the sandbank, dive down and lure the stingrays, then let the tourists pat them on their wings. People came to Grand Cayman from all over the world to interact like that with those stingrays, but they had gotten used to being fed for 15 years and were depending on humans too much for food. They were being overfed and were getting sick, fat and lethargic.”

Gabriel grew uneasy about the impact humans were having on the stingrays, the coral reef and other marine life, and left the job after a year. Not ready to return home, she ventured off to Latin America.

Starting in Mexico, she surfed her way down the west coast of Central America and arrived in Colombia, where she bought a Kombi van and kept exploring.

After seven months in Latin America, Gabriel returned to Australia via South Africa and found herself back in Sydney, feeling lost. After two days, she left.

“My mum had moved up here three years earlier and I hadn’t seen her in a

long time. I came up here to surprise her and hadn’t planned on staying, but I fell in love with the Coast. I checked out USC (University of the Sunshine Coast) and fell in love with the lifestyle. It was a whole lot more relaxed than Sydney, that’s for sure.”

Gabriel began a Bachelor of Environmental Science at USC and continued to indulge her love of the ocean, working on a whale watching boat, where her interest in ocean conservation grew even more.

In between full-time study and work, she found the time to launch her own swimwear label, OceanZen. “I started OceanZen smack-bang in the middle of my degree,” she says. “I knew I wanted to do something unique with the environment. Ocean conservation is my absolute passion.”

Gabriel spends most of her time in the water, so creating a bikini range made from a sustainable fabric that helps clean

up the oceans was a perfect fit.

“I found this fabric when I was doing some research on sustainable products,” she says. “They get the plastic bottles and fishing nets shipped to their factory in the US, get it cleaned, finely chop it, then it goes through a machine that makes it into a thread. That yarn is 100 per cent regenerated and completely sustainable.

That gets shipped to Italy where they turn it into a high quality Italian Lycra for swimwear or yoga wear.”

Gabriel designs her bikinis with eye-catching cuts and colours and says her swimwear is a little “cheekier” than the average swimwear on the market.

“I love to surf and also spend a lot of time snorkelling and diving, so I know how hard it is to find a bikini that stays on in the water,” she said.

“By designing beautiful swimwear that appeals to ocean-loving women, I can also use the brand as a platform to raise awareness about the importance of

marine conservation and to encourage customers to support campaigns and projects. It’s an opportunity to combine the two things I love.”

Gabriel designed the most recent range during a six-month exchange to the Galapagos Islands in 2014, where she gained hands-on experience researching animal life as part of USC’s Study Overseas Program.

“I lived the true island life in the Galapagos Islands, completely detached from the real world and society. I was waking up and going swimming with sea lions, diving with sharks, laying on beaches with sea lions sleeping right next to me, learning and speaking the Spanish language on an island where no English is spoken and finishing the day with an island run under the sky of millions of stars. This was such a raw and amazing experience, but also isolating in a way.

“On an island with such unique creatures there were also dangerous ones.

I was bitten on the face by a venomous insect and after scuba diving my face had swollen up like a balloon. I was taken to the island ‘hospital’ and had to express what had happened to me in my Spanglish, while also trying to understand what the doctor was saying to me. Island life can be beautiful, but also challenging.”

With OceanZen’s following growing rapidly, Gabriel uses her social media platforms to support marine conservation while promoting her label.

“Ocean conservation is my heart and soul, as well as OceanZen. I have a lot of knowledge I want to share with people – it’s all about raising awareness.”

Having completed her degree in November, Gabriel is now focused on OceanZen and is shipping her bikinis to Canada, the UK, US, Philippines, Singapore, France and Germany.

Gabriel will debut OceanZen at the Sunshine Coast Fashion Festival 2016.

MY OPINION

PARRA’S PAIN

HOW CLEAN IS TOO CLEAN?

Nugget reckons the Parramatta Eels have suffered enough and there are kinder ways to punish them than taking 10 points off.

Sami Muirhead is washing her hands of unrealistic hand-washing advice, preferring a quick splash under the tap.

F

irst we were told we did not know how to peel a banana the right way (most of us do it from the wrong end) and then that video about peeling a post-it note the correct way went viral. It made many of us feel like complete idiots. Life hacks are the new black. Well I have a new one for you today. Apparently most people in the developed world are numbskulls when it comes to washing our hands. We are doing it the wrong way, people.

Scientists in Scotland have endorsed the hand-washing technique recommended by the World Health Organisation as being the most effective way to blast bacteria and prevent the odd zombie apocalypse.

So we are technically meant to spend a whopping 43 seconds washing our hands with soap. I wash mine in about five seconds flat and tap them on my jeans to dry as I walk out of the loo.

There is even an instructional video that came out from these funny Scottish academics showing us the right way to wash our hands and really get in those spaces between each finger. There seemed an awful lot of thumb rubbing and individual digit rubbing.

Washing hands is a big deal in our house, as we have three kids under five years of age. Two of them are boys so I basically deserve a medal for spending most of my time in a toilet cleaning up

wee and telling little boys to pee IN the toilet and not on the floor. I repeat to them to pee IN the toilet and not on the light switch on the wall. And then for good measure, because I am pretty sure no one ever listens to me, I tell them again to pee IN the toilet not on the hand towel in the far corner. And nine times out of 10, they pee nowhere near the actual loo.

As for peeing IN the loo? Well, that is a funny one isn’t it. If my husband ever dares to come home after a few drinks and not pee IN the toilet, then my head starts spinning around on my shoulders and I sprout red horns in my head as I throw my pitchfork at him.

I should just give in and use the toilet for more practical uses, like stacking towels, because it really does not function as a lavatory – which brings me back to my main point.

I already spend an abnormal amount of time telling all the kids to wash their hands and then showing them again and again how to do it. So if I spent 43 seconds doing this every day and I do it five times a day with each kid and myself, I estimate I would spend at least 15 minutes a day washing hands at the sink.

That seems a little excessive to me.

Well, the study is from a bunch of Scots.

They clearly have a great sense of humour because they also think it is a great idea to eat haggis.

P

oor old Parra, yet again the blue and gold brigade are beset with internal squabbling and on field inconsistency. Yet the club that has made failure a cottage industry since Peter Sterling was sporting a Rod Stewart style coiffure of glorious blonde, hair has an even greater spectre looming over their heads. Alleged salary cap breaches may see the club docked as many as 10 competition points and see the Western Sydney region spiral into a malaise not seen since the increased tax on Winnie Blues. I think this possible punishment is too harsh and the NRL needs to consider other options.

Raiders, but I think a move to one of the most boring cities in the southern hemisphere might just help the club focus on more important things like staying under the salary cap and winning their first premiership since the Torana was considered a new car.

ADD POINTS Give Parra 10 points rather than take them. This mega boost will guarantee the Eels will qualify for the grand final and then they can do what they do best, lose grand finals. The pain of pooping the bed in another decider will serve as a more than sufficient punishment.

NOTHING

THE STRIFE OF BRIAN

This club has suffered enough already, have you ever been to Parramatta? Most of Mad Max: Thunderdome was filmed on Parramatta Road with virtually no scenery changes. The fact this club is based where it is, is punishment enough.

Want to make Parramatta really serve hard time for their alleged crimes? Make Brian Smith the coach again. The former school teacher’s name alone sends shudders down the spine of Eels players and fans.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

THE HINDMARSH CLAUSE

Making them stay in Parramatta could be fun, but a geography based punishment could also have its merits for the rest of us. Yes, Parramatta is a city where ugg boots are considered a ‘dress shoe’ but an NRL mandated relocation could also teach them some sorely needed lessons.

Canberra could be a nice option. Yes I know, they have a team already in the

Undoubtedly one of the club’s greatest son’s, Nathan Hindmarsh, was one of the game’s toughest, bravest, hardest working players. The mere presence of Hindy would be an enormous boost to the club. But that doesn’t interest me. We are here to punish, so Nathan’s far less talented brother Ian will be sent to the club as Morale Ambassador instead.

Nathan ‘Nugget’ Dell is a sports fanatic who you can hear more from on Zinc 96.1.

ISLAND TIME

Lazy days and winter sunshine are the norm at Hamilton Island.

ropical and beautiful – it’s no wonder Hamilton Island attracts the rich and famous.

From Matthew McConaughey to Taylor Swift, this piece of paradise in the Whitsundays has welcomed many.

On this particular day, it is Oprah I come eye-to-eye with. Well, eye-to-eye might be a slight exaggeration. This particular Oprah is lazily squinting through one, half-opened eye as I sit in the WILD LIFE habitat café eating

breakfast.

She is just one of the koalas who lounge in the surrounding gum trees of the park, which made international headlines when her namesake – US talk show queen Oprah – visited the site.

Located in the heart of the island, the small park gives visitors a chance to encounter Australia’s native animals including cockatoos, wombats, dingoes, cassowaries and crocodiles.

The cost of entry grants you access to the park for the duration of your island

We can help you choose investments that will age well

stay, which means you’ll have more chances to visit the laidback koalas.

Laidback, relaxed and sleepy is the norm on Hamilton Island.

Life is slow-paced, but far from dull.

We arrived one sunny morning towards the end of the winter period.

And by winter, I mean pleasant mornings and warm sunshine through the day.

From the minute you step foot on to the island, life is simple.

There are no line-ups for baggage collection, or queues for a taxi.

Pre-arranged transport makes arrivals (and departures) organised and easy. In most cases, you will step off the plane and find yourself settled in your room less than 10 minutes later.

The island boasts various accommodation options ranging from the five-star, adults only Beach Club resort to the family-friendly Reef View Hotel and Palm Bungalows dotted among the tropical grounds.

Our family of three opted for the alternative option of hiring one of the many private holiday apartments available.

The unit is modern, comfortable and includes a fully self-contained kitchen, barbecue, pool and expansive ocean and island views from the spacious balcony.

It is within walking distance of the strip of shops that line the marina.

Better yet, the apartment comes with its own golf buggy – Hamilton Island’s transport of choice and a great way to zoom around and take in all the sites.

From go-karting to mini-golf, reef cruises and fishing, there is something for all age brackets.

Foodies will enjoy the choice of dining options, particularly Coca Chu

where executive chef Adam Woodfield serves up bold Asian flavours from his innovative menu. However, you can’t go past a casual evening dining on fish and chips while sitting on the grass that overlooks the marina.

I found the perfect way to escape during our six-day getaway – an afternoon of pampering at Spa Wumurdaylin. As I lay on the pillow, as soft as a cloud, and looked out over the pretty gardens, I couldn’t help but wonder what lay in store for tomorrow.

Swimming in the blue waters of Catseye Beach, snorkelling or perhaps taking a day trip to the outer reef.

It may be relaxing, but there’s certainly never a dull moment on Hamilton Island.

MY BODY

US actor Jennifer Aniston has been named People magazine’s Most Beautiful Woman 2016. The 47-yearold says she can lack the motivation to stay in shape as much as anyone.

“Just bite the bullet and do it,” she says.

“Think of a wonderful pasta or Mexican meal that you want to have on the weekend and dangle that in front of you like a little carrot.”

Aniston tries to attend a spin-yoga class three times a week and does weight training and cardio at home the other three days, with one rest day.

“I usually do a trifecta,” she says. “Fifteen minutes on the bike, 15 on the treadmill running and then 15 on the elliptical. You have to shake it up.”

2016 HAIR TRENDS Liz Freney from Kooshka Hair in Mooloolaba shares her tips for the biggest hair trends we’ll see in 2016: 1. Bobs are losing the blunt look and blondes are getting lighter. Check out Jennifer Lawrence’s hot new light blonde long bob for inspiration (right).

2. Foilyage is the new balayage. It’s is a technique where the colour is painted on the hair and then each section is wrapped in foils. The process marries the technique of balayage with the vibrant colour payoff of foil highlights.

3. Winter waves with ‘70s inspired bangs are big. Let your bangs grow out a bit, part them down the middle and spray them with a little hairspray to keep them at the sides, like model Georgia May Jagger’s latest rock ‘n’ roll look.

4. Short styles are getting shorter at the back and longer at the front.

Think Twiggy.

MY LIFE

5 FOOD HACKS James Colquhoun from Food Matters shares five simple ways to enhance the health benefits of your food.

M

ake food your weapon of wellness with these five fun hacks to supercharge your diet.

1. Drizzle your tomatoes with a little olive oil.

Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a carotenoid believed to protect against cardiovascular disease and cancer. Olive oil helps us to absorb lycopene.

2. Turmeric and black pepper are the Batman and Robin of the spice kingdom.

Truly a dynamic duo. Turmeric is naturally high in a powerful anti-inflammatory compound called circumin. Black Pepper contains an alkaloid called piperine, which enhances the bioavailability of circumin.

3. Power up your cruciferous vegetables.

Cabbage, broccoli, and their close cruciferous cousins have the ability to prevent some cancers. But cooked and

frozen broccoli can’t provide us with sulforaphane (anti-cancer compound).

So, add a little ground mustard powder after cooking to replace the enzymes needed to release the sulforaphane.

4. Marinade with lemon juice or vinegar.

If you choose to eat meat, poultry and fish, common cooking processes increase the production of Advanced Glycosylation End Products (AGEs), which are linked with inflammation, chronic disease and aging. Simply marinade with lemon or vinegar half an hour before cooking to reduce AGEs. 5. Add a lil’ asafoetida.

Add this wonderful spice to legumes to help break down the fermentable sugars, which are notoriously difficult for humans to digest.

Constipation, Stubborn Weight, Nausea or Bad Breath? Sinus, Headaches & Sneezing?

It May Not Be Allergies or Food After all!

Sinus, hayfever, ongoing sneezing, and daily headaches, worse in the morning, though seem to last more months through the year than the Spring should bring, all could be part of a bigger health problem that is NOT associated with your allergies! Do you also suffer with short term or lifelong constipation, gurgling sounds in the gut, stubborn weight, nausea, or bad breath? These are all connected to the same underlying cause, and can last a lifetime if never detected.

One single underlying issue can cause all of these symptoms and may have been going on for months, years or even decades, previously being mistaken for allergies. This results in the overuse of nasal sprays or antihistamines, doing little to help, and harming your sinuses. You may suffer just a few of these symptoms or perhaps all of them.

The cause has been found in the mucous membranes of the entire digestive tract…

The cause has been found in the mucous membranes of the entire digestive tract from the sinuses to the bowel, and is not uncommon. An insidious infection from food that has been left out or food from street vendors, though is often only detected in specialised testing. This specific infection has been found to burrow deep within the villi of your gut wall, a very hard to reach place, and has been shown to release a nerve toxin, paralysing the muscles of your bowel, causing symptoms of constipation and nausea, not to mention the secondary effects I’ve seen in some patients with chronic weight gain, fatigue, and tender lymph glands in the groin and armpits. It is rarely tested for, and is often mistaken for allergic rhinitis, or lazy bowel, so can go on for years undetected and untreated, causing irreparable damage.

Fortunately it is quite easy to address, with symptoms relieved when the infection is eradicated.

Having seen patients who have suffered with fatigue, sinus headaches and obesity for many years, watching them adhere to low fat and low carb diets, all with no results, when after treatment for just a few months have improved out of sight, losing weight and feeling well.

These are not conditions with unknown cause like many believe, and can be resolved quickly when properly investigated with the right medical testing.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE

NOT AS EASY AS ABC Justin Scattini is from Ord Minnett in Buderim.

O

ne of the crucial tasks for investors is to assess both the performance of their share portfolio, and to what value they are getting from the manager of their funds.

On the surface this would seem to be a rather simple task; if the benchmark index produced a 10 per cent return, anything higher than that (after fees) is good, while anything lower is bad.

Like most things in life it isn’t so simple.

Let’s take a hypothetical example of three portfolios. Investor A produces a 19 per cent return, while Investors B and C both produce a 10 per cent return.

When looking at the returns in isolation, Investor A has smashed it with nearly double the performance of B and

C - both of whom merely met expectations.

Clearly investor A is the best investor, right? We need more information to form an opinion.

Let’s have a look at how each of these three portfolios were invested and make a judgement about which portfolio has had the best returns on a risk adjusted basis. In finance there are a number of ratios that are used to calculate the risk adjusted returns from a portfolio.

For the purpose of this short article I won’t be using any ratio analysis because common sense is all that we really need for this example.

Investor A invested in an ASX20 Index fund and has geared that at 400 per cent of the original asset, the loan carrying an interest rate of 7 per cent.

Hence they have increased their return by 90 per cent, though subsequently the risk associated with the venture has increased by 400 per cent, thus there is no skill associated with this outperformance - just the willingness to take on excessive risk.

Furthermore, Investor B has invested in a portfolio that reflects the ASX20, performing in line with the index because it is designed to do just that.

Again, there is no skill associated with the management of this portfolio, as the investment selection is based solely on the market capitalisation of the top 20 shares in the index.

In fact, the portfolio is taking on a significant amount of concentration risk, as 63 per cent of the portfolio is invested in financials because of their domination

of the Australian stock exchange.

Investor C has invested in a diversified portfolio of 20 shares, each with a 20 per cent limit on investment in any single sector. As a consequence, the concentration risk associated with both of the previous portfolios has been largely eliminated, but has still managed to produce the same return as Investor B. Ultimately, a competent portfolio manager should seek to provide value to an investor by either generating higher returns without increasing the risk disproportionately, or producing equivalent level of returns at a lower level of risk. Clearly Investor C is the only one getting any real value from their portfolio manager.

DID YOU KNOW

VOTING RULES HAVE CHANGED?

Make your vote count this federal election.

At this year’s federal election, the way you vote for the Senate has changed and it’s important that you understand how to vote correctly.

On the large white Senate ballot paper, you can choose to vote either above or below the line.

If you choose to vote above the line, you now need to number at least 6 boxes. Put the number ‘1’ in the box for the party or group that is your first choice, a ‘2’ for your second choice and so on until you’ve numbered at least 6 boxes.

If you choose to vote below the line, you must number at least 12 boxes, from 1 to 12, for individual candidates in the order of your choice.

Voting for the House of Representatives has not changed.

On the green ballot paper, you must number every box, starting with the number ‘1’ for your first choice, ‘2’ for your second choice and so on until you have numbered every box.

‘How to vote’ instructions will be clearly displayed on your ballot paper. Don’t worry if you make a mistake — just ask for another ballot paper.

This federal election your vote will help shape Australia.

WHAT’S ON FRIDAY, APRIL 29

HOW GOOD IS OUR COFFEE? Southeast Queensland has thrown down the gauntlet to Melbourne when it comes to claiming Australia’s best cafe culture.

Five venues feature in review site Beanhunter’s Top Cafes in Australia awards, with Caloundra’s Lamkin Lane Espresso Bar ranking fifth in the awards.

Lamkin Lane Espresso Bar owner Tim Adams says Queensland venues differ from those in Sydney and Melbourne because there is more of a focus on coffee.

“We are more casual with our cafe offering so we can focus on producing great coffee,” he says.

“People do not feel obligated to buy a heap of food, whereas particularly Melbourne cafes have a big food offering.”

JAG AND KIA WIN FIVE-STAR SAFETY RATING

A

NCAP has issued a five-star safety rating to the all-new Jaguar XF due to a suite of advanced safety features being fitted as standard equipment.

Chief executive officer of ANCAP – Australia’s leading car assessment program – James Goodwin says the XF has a high standard of safety features that buyers expect.

The XF has already received the maximum five-star rating from Euro NCAP against 2015’s highly demanding test protocols and was amongst the most highly rated models in the segment.

Jaguar vehicle line director Kevin Stride is not surprised by the result.

“The XF was engineered without compromise: we placed just as much focus on safety as we did on dynamics, performance, refinement and efficiency, and our stringent in-house standards far exceed the requirements of legislative and consumer tests,’’ he says.

“Everything from the aluminium alloys we developed for the body structures to the state-of-the-art stereo camera at the heart of the autonomous emergency braking system has been

painstakingly optimised to deliver world-class levels of safety.”

The new XF is one of the first vehicles in the segment to feature a stereo camera. This state-of-the-art sensor provides a 3D view of the road ahead and is at the heart of the autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system.

variants of the Kia Carnival manufactured from December 23, 2015.

Kia Carnival V6 petrol variants built prior to this date retain a four-star ANCAP safety rating.

ANCAP’s James Goowin says Kia worked to implement a number of safety improvements.

“A number of design changes to the Carnival has seen the score in the frontal offset test increase substantially and consumers should feel confident the updated vehicle offers significant improvements to safety,” he says.

The five-star rating covers all of the Jaguar XF variants.

Meanwhile, ANCAP has released a five-star safety rating for the updated Kia Carnival following several safetyrelated improvements to the popular people mover.

The 2016 safety rating applies to all

AURA – CITY OF COLOUR BURSTS INTO LIFE Completion of Stockland’s new $5 billion city centre may be 30 years away, but work is already underway with the first major land release about to take place. My Property Preview takes a look at the future community that will eventually house 50,000 residents.

An artist’s impression of the future Aura development

S

tockland is preparing for the first major land release at Aura, its new $5 billion ‘City of Colour’ on the Sunshine Coast on Saturday, April 30 with buyer demand strong and continuing to increase.

The public land release will coincide with the opening celebrations of the new look Aura Vision Centre at Bells Reach, with a host of free activities and giveaways from 10am.

Sunshine Coast Stockland regional manager Ben Simpson says with this weekend’s land release drawing closer, buyers are rushing to register their interest in pre-release lots.

“The level of interest and excitement we’re seeing from buyers surrounding our first land releases at Aura has been incredible,” Simpson says.

“We are creating a unique community that will be an Australian first in terms of scale, educational, vocational and lifestyle inclusions, and one that will set new benchmarks for liveability and sustainability.

“Whether you work here, live here, study here or have a business here, this will be a city of villages with their own distinct look and feel, which will be full of opportunities for people of all ages and interests.”

Aura is the largest master planned community ever undertaken in Australia under single ownership, with Stockland

that will become thriving centres for local employment, innovation and trade on the Sunshine Coast.

“Earthworks are progressing well on our very first suburb, which has been carefully designed to reflect the overall vision of Aura as a world-class community where residents can live, work and play,” Simpson says.

“We are creating a unique community that will be an Australian first in terms of scale, educational, vocational and lifestyle inclusions and one that will set new benchmarks” creating more than 20,000 new homes over the next 30 years on the 24-squarekilometre site.

On completion, Aura will include a vibrant city centre and retail hub, a South Bank style urban parkland, an elite sporting and performance precinct and two business and enterprise parks

“I would urge anyone wanting to be one of the first residents in this vibrant new city to act quickly to ensure they don’t miss out.”

Aura’s first suburb, Baringa, offers a variety of home sites to suit a wide range of budgets and lifestyles, all within walking distance of schools,

shops and cafes, parks and playgrounds and close to a network of walking and cycling paths.

Surrounded by conservation areas and parklands on Aura’s northern boundary near Bells Reach and just 10 minutes to some of the Sunshine Coast’s best beaches, each precinct within Baringa will have its own unique character.

The suburb’s thriving urban hub will include a convenience centre with a supermarket, specialty stores and cafes, a business and commercial precinct, a community centre and civic plaza for cultural events, markets, festivals and other celebrations, two schools and a four-hectare district sports park.

“Last month the Queensland Government committed to building a state-of-the-art primary school within the suburb and earthworks on the site are now completed, ready for construction to begin this year,” Simpson says.

There will also be a landmark myweeklypreview.com.au

Environmental Education Centre on the eastern boundary of Baringa, which will deliver environmental education and sustainability awareness programs to residents and students.

Construction on the first stage of the $115 million Bells Creek Arterial Road is progressing well and once completed, will provide residents of Baringa with easy access to Caloundra Road.

Stockland has committed to invest more than $1.3 billion in local infrastructure over the life of the Aura project and construction activity in the first year alone will generate more than 1,700 direct and indirect jobs.

More than 700 hectares of the Aura site will be rehabilitated and designated as a conservation zone following decades of use as a former pine plantation.

The community will become the first new city in Australia to be designed and constructed to the world’s highest environmental and sustainability standards, with the Green Building Council of Australia accrediting Aura with the highly-coveted 6 Star Green Star – Community rating.

“We take our environmental responsibilities seriously and are committed to rehabilitating and conserving the site’s environmental values,” Simpson says.

Other features of Aura include a 200-kilometre network of cycleways,

Artist’s impression with a dedicated ‘bike highway’ for green-friendly commuting; a major regional park spanning more than 120 hectares and including a lake system; a future Transit Centre and high-frequency bus corridor; and more than 20 learning hubs.

The City Centre will be the thriving 24/7 heart of the community, covering

The future Environmental Education Centre 200 hectares and comprising more than 5,000 homes plus retail outlets, restaurants and cafes, office space and more.

Stockland has drawn inspiration from some of the world’s most liveable cities to design Aura, with the result destined to set new global benchmarks.

FAST FACTS: • Aura’s site covers 24 square kilometres (2,360 hectares) of land • The city will be home to around 50,000 people over the next 30

years • Around 20,000 dwellings will be built over the next three decades • Nearly one-third of the site will be an environmental protection zone.

• Aura will include 10 separate sporting grounds plus parks and playgrounds • More than 20 schools and education centres are planned • The total value of the project is $5

billion • 18,500 direct and indirect jobs will be created in the first 10 years of the project • Aura will feature 200 kilometres of cycleways • Land will be provided for 25 community facilities.

THE DETAILS The Aura Vision Centre is located at 1 Bells Reach Drive, Bells Reach.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20) Are you an Aries spendthrift?

With the new moon stimulating your cash zone, you’re in the mood for a spending spree. But is that smart? When it comes to business, if you are patient (and put in the work) then you can capitalise on the lucky breaks coming your way later this year.

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21) Bulls love their dependable routines. But you’ll be jolted out of predictability on Tuesday, as Jupiter shakes up your day in the most delightful way. new moon Friday is a fabulous time to rejuvenate your physical appearance, plus revise your plans for the next 12 months.

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21) The emphasis is on volunteer work, or just providing assistance to people around you who are sick, in trouble, or less fortunate. There’s no room for negative self-talk. Mercury might be retrograde but you can still have fun and get a lot done, if you’re patient.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23) Are you being a cranky crab?

With Mars and Saturn both reversing through your work zone, professional projects aren’t progressing as quickly as you’d like. This week’s stars encourage you to perceive delays as opportunities to review, revise and reboot.

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23) Get set for a wonderful week, as Jupiter boosts luck and your confidence. So it’s time to think big, especially when it comes to your plans for the future. Pluto also helps you power ahead with changes that have the potential to transform your life.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23) With prosperity planet Jupiter jumping through your sign (until October) a personal project shows great promise. But don’t let negative self-talk hold you back Virgo. You have to be your No.1 fan. If you don’t believe in yourself (and your talents) why should anyone else?

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23) You have a natural knack for making others feel comfortable but this week, be careful when posting comments online. With Mercury retrograde (plus Mars and Saturn reversing through your social media zone) it will be very easy to send the wrong message to the wrong person.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22) Transformation is the name of the game this week, as Pluto (your patron planet) boosts your personal magnetism, and your ability to rise like a phoenix from the ashes of a difficult situation. Or a close relationship has the potential to be reborn into a positive partnership.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23-Dec 21) The focus is on your health, as the new moon activates your wellbeing zone. So it’s the ideal time to shake up your routine, improve your diet, and boost your fitness levels. Professional progress is also a priority, as Jupiter encourages you to power ahead with a project.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20) Capricorns are practical people but it’s your creative side that can really take you places this week. So use daydreams, visualisation and active imagination to help you set goals and plan for the future.

Don’t dream small … make sure you go for gold!

AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19) Aquarians can be very disorganised. This week’s stars encourage you to establish some sort of routine, which will help you complete tasks in a streamlined fashion. Thursday’s moon/Uranus connection increases your impulsive side, and makes you accident-prone.

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20) The new moon highlights your travel and study zone. But with Mercury in retrograde, it’s time to plan a holiday or revise work (rather than take a trip or launch a new project). And with Mars and Saturn both reversing through your career zone, don’t take things for granted at work.

THE LAST WORD

FULL OF HOT AIR Richard O’Leary says a ban on underground coal gasification is long overdue.

I

n this column I try not to give politicians too many pats on the back – they seem to do that pretty well themselves. But I’m willing to make an exception on this occasion.

Although, it’s not really a hearty ‘well done, good work’ sort of congratulations. It’s more of an ‘about bloody time – I’m glad you’ve finally seen reason’.

I’m talking about the state mining minister Dr Anthony Lynham’s decision to ban underground coal gasification in Queensland, with legislation to be drafted by the end of the year.

Now it must be said, the Labor Party created the mess, so it’s only fair it cleans it up.

In the early 2000s, the Beattie Labor Government gave the green light to two pilot underground coal gasification projects.

After leaks of the cancer-causing chemical benzene into groundwater at

one mine, and serious environment harm being alleged at another, Minister Lynham summed it up pretty well: “It has been a failure.”

“The potential risk to Queensland’s environment and our valuable agricultural industries outweigh any potential economic benefits.”

As you would expect, the Queensland Resources Council expressed disappointment at the decision, claiming there was no consultation. Fair enough – it does represent miners, after all.

What does have me puzzled though, are the comments by the state opposition’s environment spokesperson Steve Bennett, who questioned the ban.

“The LNP took these issues seriously, but we also take Queensland’s investment reputation seriously.”

“So we call on the Palaszczuk Labor Government to release the evidence it

has relied on to make the decision.”

I’ll start with the most obvious observation: you are the opposition spokesman on the environment, you are not the alternate mines minister.

Secondly, the leaking of a cancercausing chemical into groundwater under farms and the huge fines dished out to the companies running the underground coal gasification projects would suggest there’s some reasonable evidence for such a decision.

Lastly, you had Labor on the ropes with this issue. They made a significant mistake, and now they’ve had to make a major backflip. But rather than have a go at them for causing the problem, you castigate them for fixing it.

The mining companies may appreciate the support. I doubt farmers in the LNP heartland will feel the same way. roleary@myweeklypreview.com.au.
