FROM THE EDITOR

A

s Queensland prepares to play host to the biggest sporting event the nation will see in a decade, let’s have a quick look at the numbers. More than 670,000 visitors will descend on the Gold Coast alone, but with sports, arts and cultural events taking place across the state, around 1.5 million spectators will attend a Gamesrelated event, and 1.5 billion people around the globe will tune in to watch the Games on TV. Games fever has certainly hit the Sunshine Coast. Last week, we reported on the 500-plus athletes and officials from nine countries using our region to train. This edition, Roxanne McCartyO’Kane speaks to local athletes set to make history by competing in this major sporting event.

To all the athletes, good luck and know the entire region is behind you, supporting and cheering you on. Win or lose, you have done your country proud.

Also this week, Leigh Robshaw chats to brilliant comedian Ross Noble, currently on his 15th sell-out Australian tour and scheduled to perform at the Events Centre in April. We check out the best Oscars 2018 beauty looks and don’t miss the gorgeous vintage-inspired fashion finds in our Style section.

First job? My first job was working in a chemist as a pharmacy assistant when I was 14.

What achievement are you most proud of? Raising my beautiful girls while studying, building a career, and building my practice. Teaching my daughters to be independent women who can achieve anything they strive for in life. Who says you can’t have everything?

What are you currently working on? Planning a European trip for myself with my daughters, for the trip of a lifetime together.

Your family includes… My beautiful, amazing and inspiring daughters, Amber and Brooke, and Max, Jacy and Jasmine are our fur babies.

Favourite book? Too many to mention, but anything with adventure or supernatural themes, though I haven’t read fiction in a long time.

What are you reading now? The Road Less Stupid by Keith J Cunningham.

I’ve only just begun, but it’s come highly recommended.

Jodi Chapman BIO

Advanced Wellness & Behavioural Centre founder Jodi Chapman has spent the past 12 years building her naturopathic practice in Maroochydore. She loves seeing her patients’ lives change as a result of her work.

Favourite song? These days very cruisy music – Ben Howard, Nick Murphy, Adele, Bob Moses.

Best advice you’ve been given?

Nothing changes if nothing changes. I use it every day.

You are happiest when? When I’m with those dearest to me getting outside – adventure, hiking, cycling through the hills, climbing a mountain, travelling here or overseas, doing new things, challenging fears, with people that also love the adventure and challenge.

What frustrates you the most? Not having balance, when work gets too much with too little time outside. It sometimes happens during times of growth or change. Occasionally the balance is thrown out and bringing it back is important to my happiness.

“I never regret.

Anything that hasn’t gone to plan has been a great lesson or adventure”

What is your favourite place on the Sunshine Coast?

Alexandra Headland – the beach, the coastline, being near the water.

If you could change one thing on the Sunshine Coast, what would it be? Maybe less traffic. The rest is beautiful. What an amazing place to live.

Best day in your life? The birth of my girls.

How do you deal with your frustrations? Either deal with the problem head on until it’s not a problem anymore, or plan an escape for some downtime.

If you could tell your 18-year-old self anything, what would it be? Love yourself for the whole of who you are right now. Don’t worry about every imperfection – collectively you’re perfect just as you are. Don’t worry about people who judge you, as their opinions don’t matter. Learn from your mistakes quickly, then let it go.

Worrying only leads you to miss the amazing life that’s going on around you. Be present.

Can you nominate a day in your life that turned out to be a turning point and why? The day I got my degree.

It arrived in the mail, after eight years of study while raising my daughters and running a business. I’ll never forget the sense of achievement on that day. I hit the ground running from that day forward.

Tea or coffee and how do you have it? Tea – black, simple.

Your greatest regret? I never regret. Anything that hasn’t gone to plan has been a great lesson or

COVER STORY

YOUNG GUNS OF THE GAMES

With the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games just around the corner, My Weekly Preview chats to a few Sunshine Coast Games hopefuls who are raring to represent. WORDS: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane.

“It’s all about who is the best athlete on the day and we are working hard with our team at the Spartans to make sure we are as well prepared as we can be” Swimming sisters Kaylee and Taylor McKeown Image: Greg Gardner

S

porting history will be made on April 4 as the Gold Coast welcomes more than 6600 athletes and team officials from 70 Commonwealth nations for the largest sporting event to be staged in Australia this decade – the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

More than 30 Sunshine Coast athletes will join the 417-strong Australian contingency at the GC2018, which will have the largest events line-up in history, with beach volleyball, para triathlon and women’s rugby sevens added to the roster. This gives sports fans 18 sports and seven para-sports to watch, and for the first time at a Games, an equal number of men’s and women’s medal events will be contested.

Among the athletes are swimming stars Taylor and Kaylee McKeown. The sisters are part of the squad of nine University of the Sunshine Coast Spartans swimmers to make it into the Games team.

Despite training together every day, the McKeowns will be on very different schedules at the Games, with 23-year-old Taylor competing in the 200-metre breaststroke and 200-metre medley, while 16-year-old Kaylee’s main event is the 200-metre backstroke.

Taylor already has a Commonwealth gold medal under her belt in the 200-metre breaststroke from the 2014 Glasgow games

and was part of Australia’s silver medalwinning medley relay team at the 2016 Olympics in Rio. She is now doing what she can to help prepare her younger sister for her first Commonwealth Games.

Taylor admits training at home at the Spartans facilities at USC made the looming Games seem surreal. “The last time I was at the Commonwealth Games, I was away for six weeks. First, training in Spain before moving to Manchester and then onto Glasgow,” she says.

“Staying at home to train doesn’t make it feel like we are training for the Commonwealth Games, which has made it feel much more relaxing. But once I arrive in the village and receive our official gear and accreditation, it will become more real.”

Kaylee smashed out a time of 2.08.23 to beat dual world champion Emily Seebohm by just 0.01 of a second to take first place and an instant position on the Australian squad at the Games trials. However, Taylor’s journey was a little less smooth, touching first at 2.23.87 in the 200-metre breaststroke, but missing the Games qualifying time, leaving her place in the team to the discretion of selectors.

“At trials this year, I tried to implement a new and improved way of racing breaststroke,” she says. “The first attempt didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped and

while I had swum A-qualifying times twice in the previous two days, I just missed it at trials,” she says.

“It will make it harder for me now to want to trust that race process knowing I didn’t achieve what I had wanted to. Usually, I lead the race the whole way, but this new method sees me holding back and taking off in the second half of the race. I know what I’ve done wrong, so now it’s all about correcting that

“I know all of my opponents are training just as hard, so I have to make sure I train harder than them” and I’m hoping to come away with a win.”

All eyes will be on Kaylee and Emily Seebohm in the 200-metre backstroke as they once again battle it out for supremacy.

Theirs has been a nail-biting rivalry that Kaylee says is born from mutual admiration, but their history is not something that will weigh heavily on her mind as she steps up to the blocks.

“I race [Emily] all the time and she is a

great athlete, but I don’t necessarily think of how many times I’ve beaten her. I don’t like to compare myself to anyone else,” she says.

“It’s all about who is the best athlete on the day and we are working hard with our team at the Spartans to make sure we are as well prepared as we can be.”

On top of a gruelling training regime, the sisters are juggling study – Kaylee is in year 12 at Pacific Lutheran College and Taylor is studying animal ecology at USC. Kaylee says she missed a month and a half of school last year when she competed at the World Titles, so she is used to working ahead and catching up in order to keep apace of her fellow students.

The McKeowns are not the only sister combo competing at the Games, with the Brisbane-based Cate and Bronte Campbell also on the squad.

“Cate and Bronte definitely have a close-knit relationship,” says Kaylee. “Taylor and I are quite a lot more dissimilar in so many ways, but we do spend a lot of time together.

“Taylor definitely had an influence on me [starting swimming]. Seeing her achieve so much at a young age made me want to pick it up in grade five and I soon realised that I was much better at swimming than I was at anything else I had tried. She is now showing me the ropes for my first Commonwealth myweeklypreview.com.au

COVER STORY Games and there are a bit of nerves…

Everyone goes into a race with some sort of stress, it’s how you race well.”

Another Games first-timer is Wurtulla teenager Taylah Robertson, who is the youngest member of the Australian boxing team. The 19-year-old started boxing at the age of 12 for fitness, but quickly became hooked and decided to begin competing just a year later.

“I didn’t have any nerves at all for my first fight,” she says. “I was really excited to get in there and throw my hands. I really didn’t have much technique at the time, so I just threw as many punches as I could before the bell went. I won my first 12 fights and I really enjoyed it. I took out state and Australian titles in my first few fights before I got a few

Under the guidance of Mark Evans at Impact Boxing at Cooroy, Ms Robertson says she feels ready to take on the world and is confident of coming away with a Games medal. “I was training two to three times a day, six days a week and my coach would drive me into Brisbane every Wednesday to find sparring partners, so I could experience as many different styles of fighting and weight divisions as possible,” she says.

“A week after winning the nationals, I was off to the AIS for 10 weeks of training, home for one week and then straight back to the AIS. In the Philippines we are doing militarystyle training three times a day, six days a week to make sure we are fit and conditioned. We wake up before the sun comes up and do track, strength,

Local Kelland O’Brien (far right) is the youngest member of the cycling team losses under my belt. Then I went on to get the Australian Youth Titles and had four international wins.

Ms Robertson’s first elite Australian title win in the 51-kilogram division last year (where she won three fights in as many days) saw her qualify for the Games and threw her into an intensive training regime at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), supplemented by two, three-week training camps in the Philippines with the rest of the national team.

conditioning and technique work from 11am and then boxing sessions from 4pm.

“I know all of my opponents are training just as hard, so I have to make sure I train harder than them. My passion grows every training session and being in the elites has given me more drive and bigger goals to smash now. I’m already looking past the Commonwealth Games to the World Championships and Tokyo 2020 [Olympics].”

Four members of the Sunshine Coast’s new Australian Cycling Academy (ACA) have

made the Australian team and the youngest member, Kelland O’Brien, is pumped to get stuck into his track cycling events.

The 19-year-old has an impressive collection of junior and senior world titles in the individual and team pursuit, but this will be his first chance for Games gold.

Usually based full-time at the AIS, Mr O’Brien says he has been boosted by the ACA, which has selected him for the under-23 racing team, which will give him access to a development program designed to support young cyclists to reach their potential and provide a genuine pathway to the professional ranks.

Starting out as a BMX racer, Mr O’Brien switched to road racing for a couple of years but found his passion when he tried track cycling for the first time.

“I love how fast you can go, only having one gear and no brakes. It excited me from the start and I remembered watching track cycling on the TV as a kid. Luckily, it also seemed to be the form of cycling that I had the most amount of success in so quickly because I was naturally good at it,” he says.

“To be selected for the Commonwealth Games was pretty unreal; it still hasn’t really sunk in for me. All of my life I’ve wanted to represent my country at a Games or Olympics and this is a dream come true.

“While I’m the youngest on the cycling team, the older guys have been really awesome ever since I’ve moved here [AIS] and have taken me under their wing to help me deal with the pressures of high-level competition. There’s no way I could do what I do without the older guys around me.

“The fact that it’s a home Games makes it that much more special. I will get to have my friends and family around me as I compete.”

Mr O’Brien will spend more time on the Sunshine Coast at the ACA racing for the team once the Games are over and says he is looking forward to the change of scenery.

With so many local athletes training hard to achieve their best at the Games from April 4 to 15, there will be no shortage of opportunities to support them.

UNDERGROUND HOSPITAL FOUND A tenacious Caloundra couple has finally located a wartime hospital that has not been seen for 70 years. WORDS: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane.

A

mystery that has remained unsolved for decades has finally been solved with the location of the elusive Fort Bribie ‘underground hospital’.

After countless trips to the island to research their wartime history books and many interviews with soldiers who served during the Second World War around Caloundra and on Bribie Island, John and Janice Groves were intrigued by recollections of a hospital on the island.

The Caloundra couple, who has an insatiable thirst for documenting the region’s history and written 17 books since the early 2000s, focused on Bribie Island in two books, North Bribie Island During WWII and Digging Deeper into North Bribie Island during WWII, released in 2006 and 2007 respectively.

The Groves’ latest book, The Northern End of Bribie Island during World War II and the Underground Hospital, combines their first two editions and adds the location of the elusive ‘underground’ hospital.

“We found it,” Mr Groves triumphantly tells My Weekly Preview.

“I had made it my personal mission to locate it. My first trip to look at the former

Coast historians John and Janice Groves military barracks on the island was in the 1970s and I have been looking ever since.”

Despite many attempts to uncover the location of the hospital, including a contingent of 40 Caloundra RSL supporters and members setting off on an expedition in August 1999, it was not discovered until Mr Groves went on a trip to the island last year armed with new knowledge that helped him crack the case.

Over the years, Mr Groves has interviewed dozens of soldiers who served on the Sunshine Coast, and Clarrie Espin, who was a corporal in the 62nd infantry battalion in 1942, spoke about being part

of a unit of 50 soldiers who built a 24-bed hospital at Fort Bribie.

At the time, it was called the Casualty Clearing Station and Mr Espin remembers it being E-shaped and facing south with two entrances.

“After going through the war diaries of Fort Bribie with a friend, we came across a fire safety audit that stated ‘a fire bucket and a fire blanket in the undergound hospital’,” Mr Groves says.

Mr Espin’s recollections and comments made by soldier Ray Cook, who served on Bribie Island from 1942 to 1943, that “if there was an underground hospital, the patients would have had to wear life jackets because the water table was so high” changed the direction of Mr Groves’ search from something that was buried underground to something that was above ground and had been camouflaged.

On that fateful trip last year, Mr Groves says he came across four sandhills that were 50 metres from the officer’s mess.

“These sandhills were not natural; they had to be man made,” he says. “They were too close together to be formed by nature.

They are the right shape and size.

“After all this time, the hospital wasn’t

PERSONAL STORIES INSPIRING HOPE

rowing up in a household where both parents were struggling with alcoholism, Kerrie Atherton was an alcoholic at 15 and was having suicidal thoughts by the time she was just 18.

The Buderim-based counsellor says she went to Alcoholics Anonymous as a “lastditch resort” and has been clean since that fateful day 37 years ago.

Ms Atherton has since counselled and supported countless people suffering from alcohol and substance abuse through her business, Empower Life Solutions. She recently started the Stories of Hope series to expand the reach and opportunity for personal healing into the wider community.

At the free monthly community event, two guest speakers share their personal stories of major illness, trauma, addiction, mental health, abuse or relationship struggles to showcase their story of survival to offer hope and motivation to others. The first event of 2018 featured a full house as chef Matt Golinski took to the podium to share his personal story of loss and rehabilitation.

Two years ago, Ms Atherton lost her father and her husband was going through an emotional and physical breakdown due to work-related stress. “The world never looked more uncertain for me; I was in a black tunnel and I felt so alone,” she says. “It was

Kerrie Atherton (far right) with Stories of Hope presenters and attendees a pivotal moment for me as I have always been somebody that was … always looking at the glass half full perspective and using what was bad in my life to make the lives of others good, but I just slumped.

“I reached a point where I became determined that I couldn’t lie down and be a victim. I had to rise up and use this because there was a greater purpose for everything that I had been through. Stories for Hope started a few months later.”

The events, sponsored by and held at The Sands Tavern in Maroochydore on the last Tuesday of every month, offers a safe environment for speakers to open up, many for the first time.

“Something really magical takes place in the room,” Ms Atherton says.“There is this

unspoken, deep connection with everybody the minute they walk in.”

Ms Atherton says she has been overwhelmed by how the community has embraced the initiative. She is planning a men’s-only mental health night in April and a women’s-only event later in the year.

“I don’t want anybody to feel like they have to go through life alone. If you are struggling, seek out a person to speak to about it before it unravels too much, or come along and join us at Stories of Hope.”

underground at all. It was built low and covered over by the sand dunes and reinforced with bags of concrete on the roof to protect against enemy fire.”

Mr Groves says people worked hard to cover up the existence of the hospital, and it was the one slip-up in the audit documents that confirmed it had in fact been built and used.

“It was officially built as a Regimental Aid Post to help wounded Japanese soldiers, but there was talk that they were also interrogated in there,” he says.

“Everything was pulled down after the war and even soldiers who served there had trouble locating it. But we have now solved one mystery and are ready to move on to the next one.”

The Northern End of Bribie Island during World War II and the Underground Hospital is available for purchase at The Caloundra Lighthouses, The BookShop at Caloundra, Adigi Copy & Print and Moffat Beach Post Office.

FAMILY FUNDRAISER FOR LIFE CUT SHORT

Grant Lemura was only 34 years old when he suffered a stroke that claimed his life earlier this year.

The Bundaberg father-of-three was the nephew of Sunshine Coast business owners Belinda and Paul Barrett of Eco Organic Hair and Body and Things of Metal & Wood.

The couple is hosting a fundraiser for Mr Lemura’s partner Jodie and their children to help cover the mortgage and household bills.

“On the 15th of January, he walked out to his car, which was parked in the back streets behind the doctor’s surgery after a routine check-up, and suffered a stroke,” Ms Barrett says. “He wasn’t found for four hours.”

After spending two weeks in Brisbane undergoing extensive tests, the family had to make a heartbreaking decision.

“He was flown back to Bundaberg where they turned off his life support, leaving his partner Jodie, their 18-month-old Felicity and two teenagers Hailey and Isaac behind,” Ms Barrett says.

A raffle has been launched, with the aim of raising $5000 for the family. Tickets are $5 and the first prize is a beautiful spotted gum bar table from Things of Metal & Wood valued at $2500.

Tickets are available from Things of Metal and Wood, Brewed Espresso and Eco Organic Hair and Body. myweeklypreview.com.au

all kinds of crazy lab props and jars with brains in them. She went to school and said, ‘my Daddy’s a hunchback’.”

Mr Noble has been performing as a stand-up comic since the age of 15 and has appeared in TV and film. Originally from Northumberland in northern England, he married his Australian wife Fran and lived on a farm on the outskirts of Melbourne until 2009, when the family lost the farm and all their material possessions in the Victorian bushfires. They returned to live in the UK in 2010.

He still has a close connection to Australia, saying we share a similar sense of humour to the folk in his native northern England.

“We’re a bit daft, a bit like Australians.

People don’t take themselves too seriously.”

Ross Noble fans know he’s the king of improvisation. He gives a high-energy performance every night, he banters with the audience, follows surreal tangents and somehow pulls it all together at the end. He strides around the stage like a hyperactive bear, feeding off his connection with the

crowd and making them laugh solidly for more than two hours. And unlike many comedians, he reserves swearing for special occasions.

“I do swear on stage, but I’ll swear when I feel like it’s required,” he says. “Swearing’s brilliant, I love swearing. If you swear just to punctuate a sentence it has no effect, if you hold it back, if you hold back the swearing, and drop it at the right place it can be used to really emphasise something. If you just use it all the time it loses its power.

“If I talk about sex it’s usually done in such a ridiculous way, people will just go ‘ooh that’s a bit saucy’. My stuff is so cartoonish. I could talk about politics for an hour, but people don’t come away going, ‘he’s a political comedian’, he just talks about it like he talks about everything else.

I take it off into such stupid, ridiculous places that people forget what they’re laughing about.

“But to be honest, with my stuff, even when I’m talking about things that are a bit rude, it’s never vulgar. I deal with all sorts of subjects that are perhaps near the knuckle, but it’s never vulgar.”

While some comedians meticulously prepare for their shows and schedule them to the minute, Mr Noble is such a natural comic talent he can walk out onto the stage, night after night, without really knowing what he’s going to say, and still have the crowd in stitches.

“My preparation is, I get changed out of my normal clothes, which are usually covered in food, and put a T-shirt on and walk out. It’s amazing how quickly it happens – when you hear an audience, when you hear the energy coming off the audience and they start clapping, it clicks me into it.”

Ross Noble will appear at The Events Centre Caloundra on April 3.

oss Noble needs a few tips on where to take his young daughters Elfie and Willow when he visits the Sunshine Coast for his upcoming show at the Events Centre.

He’s visited the Coast many times over his 25-year career, but this time he’s coming with his Australian wife Fran and the kids.

While he’s not a huge beachgoer, he likes the idea of a swim before heading out to do his two-hour, largely improvised comedy show, El Hablador, which he’s currently taking around the country on his 15th sell-out tour.

“With the beaches in the UK, you get about a three-hour window in the year when you can enjoy them,” he says. “So we’re going to bring the kids up and treat it as a bit of a holiday, have a week in and around the Sunshine Coast.”

Which brings us to an important subject. In 2007, he was voted the 10th greatest stand-up comic on Channel 4’s 100 Greatest Stand-Ups and 11th in the updated 2010 list. But do his kids think he’s funny?

“I’m just really silly, which is hard work on my wife,” he says. “My youngest thinks I’m really funny, my eldest one rolls her eyes a bit and I just take a moment to remind her that it was me being funny that brought her everything she owns and the house that her bedroom is in. If at any point she starts rolling her eyes, I go, ‘if you ever want a car, just shut up’.”

While his daughters don’t understand much of his stand-up work and are blasé when they see him on TV, they were impressed with his performance as hunchback manservant Igor in last year’s West End production of Young Frankenstein.

“They absolutely loved it,” he says. “The little one, she came in and said, ‘we’re gong to Daddy’s work’. Turns out everything that happens at Daddy’s work is people dress up as monsters and there’s song and dance and

MY OPINION

T

TIME FOR COMPASSION

THE GREAT ESCAPE

Sami Muirhead has had enough of faceless trolls who cause pain to grieving families.

Simon Latchford says the region is offering an action-packed schedule for the upcoming break.

he night sky has a brighter star after three-year-old Alby Davis choked to death on a bouncy ball in his pregnant mum’s arms three weeks ago.

That tragedy is horrid and I cannot imagine how his mum gets out of bed every day. But what is happening now is criminal.

Some depraved Australians are taking to social media to criticise and attack Alby’s mum and to make assumptions about his death and a situation they know nothing about. Trolling a mum going through unimaginable grief is just about one of the lowest and cowardly acts I can imagine.

Alby’s mum, Anna Davis, in her darkest hour, has felt forced to defend herself on her popular Instagram site The Small Folk. In one post the mum of four described how the trolling is making the situation so much worse for her family. “To very briefly clarify some of the most widely spread misconceptions – yes, I of course tried to save our beautiful boy,” she writes, going on to say she was only a few metres from Alby and when he began choking she was “by his side within seconds”. She said she performed CPR for “16 excruciating minutes until paramedics arrived”.

Local mum Rachel Noble lost her beautiful little boy, Hamish, in a swimming pool. Ms Noble has a book coming out soon called Finn’s Feather, which is about a brother grieving the death of his sibling.

She has also been in the darkest of places

and has bravely shared her story in a bid to try and help others, and yet she too has been attacked by faceless trolls on social media.

“Never in a million years did I ever lay awake at night worrying if I would be able to keep my child alive. I worried about things (silly now, in retrospect) like which school to send him to. Accidents happen when you least expect them. They happen to good people, they happen to ALL people. It is for nobody to pass judgement on, least of all someone who doesn’t know the circumstances or the family. Send love, be supportive, find a practical way to help. If you can’t, stay quiet. These people are in the darkest depths of pain and are navigating a path they would never have ever fathomed before. ALWAYS choose kind. There’s not enough in the world.”

If you know someone who trolls it’s time to stand up to them. Perhaps they should be forced to look into the faces of mums and dads who’ve lost children and see how tough they are in those circumstances.

I am not sure how Alby’s mum is going to make it. These are her words: “Our arms are yearning for the thousands of cuddles yet to be given, our ears are longing for your laughter to once again resound through the walls of our home, and our hearts are shattered for the million of memories we’ll never have the chance to create”.

Social media should be used to support even those we do not know rather than be used to torment the fragile.

t has been a great start to the year and as a tourism industry we are keeping our foot firmly down on the accelerator. In particular, we want to be the holiday destination of choice for the upcoming April holiday period.

There will be a lot going on with Easter and the buzz of Commonwealth Games, which is why we are running several promotions in our surrounding drive markets including Brisbane, the Gold Coast and New South Wales for people to ‘escape’ to the Sunshine Coast.

Local operators are still offering some great deals during the holidays (even for residents wanting to holiday at home) and it is exciting to see lots of activities and events being staged.

If you prefer cheese and wine to chocolate eggs, then the Kenilworth Cheese, Wine & Food Fest on Easter Saturday (March 31) is a free event which kicks off with a cheese rolling competition, the Cheester Egg Hunt for children aged four to seven years and gourmet cooking demonstrations showcasing beautiful produce from the Mary Valley.

And it’s not only cheese and wine that will be on the menu over Easter.

On Easter Sunday (which is April 1), Maroochydore will be transformed into a celebration of diversity at the Ocean Street World Festival. The free event, expected to attract some 50,000 people, will feature a

stellar line-up of performers from Bolivia to Budapest and Jamaica to Japan. Samba will rub shoulders with Bollywood, and djembe players will jostle with belly dancers as Ocean Street becomes a melting pot of customs, colours and flavours.

Surfers will be attracted by one of Australia’s oldest surfing competitions: the Pa and Ma Bendall Memorial Surfing Contest, held over the Easter Long Weekend (from March 30 to April 1) at Caloundra’s Moffat Beach. The surfing contest began in 1974 and has attracted some big names over the years including Wayne ‘Rabbit’ Bartholomew, Simon Anderson and Hawaiian legend Gerry Lopez.

Caloundra will hold family-friendly twilight markets from 5pm to 9pm on Friday nights (From March 30 through to April 13).

Children can also enjoy live music and a treasure hunt at the Original Eumundi Markets on Easter Saturday (March 31).

This will be another fun and free activity that includes a hunt with clues through the market with a chocolate surprise at the completion of the journey.

Attractions will also be popular for families including Robert’s treasure hunt at Australia Zoo, a range of new rides at Aussie World, Willy Wonka at the Ginger Factory and Nickelodeon’s Paw Patrol at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast.

Dementia has shown to affect people as early as in their 30’s, and may become the leading cause of death for women within just a few years.

What contributes to the death of our brain neurons? There are a number of easily identifiable factors that can be treated, such as high cortisol levels caused by stress, poor diet or food intolerances, specific bacterial infections or lack of some unique but important beneficial bacteria, imbalanced brain chemical production, virus exposure, toxicity, poor cell function compounded by alcohol and smoking, nutrient deficiencies and simply not enough oxygen to the brain.

These causes are detectable in testing at any age and are simple to address when detected early. Take charge and pave the way for a bright, well-functioning and perceptive future. With professional advice from one of our trained health practitioners, you no longer have to be a statistic, but instead age with the grace, clarity and the vitality you deserve.

Are you not as sharp as you used to be? Are you more forgetful? Writing lists to remember daily tasks or shopping? Having difficulty finding the right words, or forgetting names or faces you’ve met before?

Are you forgetting information you once knew? Reducing your risk of memory related disease before it’s too late is not difficult through addressing the factors that can contribute to memory loss and cognitive decline.

It often begins early with simple deficiencies reducing your production of brain chemicals and hormones necessary for memory. If left unaddressed, signs of depression or anxiety, stress or fatigue may begin to occur as early as in your 30’s. Identifying and removing the triggers and contributing factors early, you reduce the irreversible damage seen in the brains of dementia patients, the most commonly known is Alzheimer’s disease. The bottom line is this: it all comes down to nervous system health, if brain cells die, the result is loss of function.

FROM THE MAYOR

As mayor, I’m fortunate to meet and chat to some wonderful individuals and groups who contribute so much to our Sunshine Coast.

Last week was one of those opportunities as we officially welcomed the new Study Sunshine Coast ambassadors who will showcase our region to the world.

Studying across a range of education institutions, including the University of the Sunshine Coast, CQUniversity, TAFE Queensland and local schools, the nine ambassadors are already keenly tackling their task of highlighting the benefits of studying on our Coast to both domestic and international audiences.

Through the various social media channels, they share the experiences they enjoy in our region, which is a crucial part of our strategy for attracting more international students and those from other parts of the country.

Research shows that up to four friends and family visit for every student who opts to study here. That’s a significant contribution to our tourist numbers and economic growth.

My thanks go to our new ambassadors for signing on for 2018.

GREEN HEART FOR PALMWOODS

A piece of downtown Palmwoods has been completely transformed by one of council’s most significant infrastructure upgrades from the past year.

The new $3 million Piccabeen Green town square is a vibrant space in the heart of the hinterland town which will provide a great new home for activities, events and celebrations.

Named by the community, the square, adjacent to the Memorial Hall, is now officially open and already being enjoyed by locals and visitors.

The name reflects the 54 Piccabeen palms that have been planted to line the connecting boardwalk.

The town square, boardwalk and connected streetscaping is the first stage of the Palmwoods Public Domain Master Plan, which was developed following extensive community consultation.

The project includes seating, shade and outdoor dining opportunities, and has improved pedestrian links through the town, connecting the three shopping precincts on Margaret, Main and Little Main streets.

Homemade pasta orecchiette with broccoli Trulli houses in Alberobello

WHERE SIMPLE FOOD PLEASURES RULE Southern Italy boasts a proud food-based culture. WORDS: Aine Fox, AAP.

“I

t’s the squeak in your mouth as you chew,” a bystander whispers as traditional Italian cheesemaker Anna Casulli transforms a bowl of curd into the plaited bright white mozzarella I recognise from deli counters at home.

Fresh food is almost a religion in Puglia, the long region in the heel of Italy’s boot, where local producers speak about their creations with pride and passion.

They may lack the sophistication of dishes created further north, but nowhere

else will you find eating more connected to local culture.

Ms Casulli’s organic farm, Azienda Nuovo Muretto, which is around 30 minutes from Alberobello, serves local “peasant” cuisine.

Focaccia made with tomatoes and dipped in local olive oil tastes softer and lighter than what I’m used to. And then there is the cheese. We are filled to the brim with chewy mozzarella, plaited treccia, knotted nodini, and scamorza (a smoky flavoured cheese similar to mozzarella). Traditional pasta

2 0 1 7 PLATE

follows – ear-shaped orecchiette – handmade and cooked al dente with a simple sauce.

“We don’t buy anything,” Anna’s husband Angelo says. When I suggest they must visit the supermarket for something, Anna insists “only cleaning products”.

The 80-hectare farm has pretty much everything they need – cows for both meat and milk, chickens, fruit trees and fields filled with vegetables. The couple leads a simple, self-sufficient yet hardworking life, and farm the land themselves with no outside help.

It’s a Pugliese way of life that goes back decades. Even Alberobello’s most famous tourist attractions, the trulli, have links to this agricultural and pastoralist past – the cone-roofed stone buildings were once used to store wheat for pasta or bread, and some housed families and their animals.

The traditional way of life is also popular further inland, around an hour’s drive away, in Altamura.

Mina Castoro, who opened the Tre Archi restaurant Via San Michele with her husband Peppino in 1985, delights in telling me about Altamura’s strong message to McDonald’s when it opened there some years ago.

While every other part of the world seems to have one on every street, the residents of Altamura voted with their feet. “It had to close in about a year,” Mrs Castoro tells me.

Locals do not want to eat food fast. They want to savour wholesome, tasty produce, says the 48-year-old, who grows much of it in her own garden.

Our meal in her restaurant lasts a little over three hours. And what a tasty time it is.

We feast on pure di fave e cicorielle (pureed broad bean with wild chicory), cialledda (the traditional bread salad), pizza fresh from the wood-fired oven, and more handmade orecchiette pasta. The highlight for me was the melt-in-the-mouth braciole (beef and vegetables slow-cooked in a clay pot).

After lunch, Ms Castoro guides us through a pasta-making class, where I attempt to roll the short capunti into shape and delicately craft shell-like orecchiette.

I finish my trip full of the most wonderful food, not to mention full of good intentions to bake my own bread and make my own pasta.

I just have to get my appetite back first.

BUSINESS & FINANCE refunded to the shareholder. Previously, excess credits were wasted and went into the government coffers. This move was a boon for non-taxpayers as they started to receive additional tax refunds to which they were not previously entitled. The most significant beneficiaries of this change were retirees whose super fund was in pension mode. Such a fund pays no tax, meaning that previously unused franking credits were fully refunded, thereby enhancing returns.

The change announced by Bill Shorten on March 13 means that the system will revert to the way it was when introduced

by Keating, and the government will be the beneficiary. Unfortunately it is being marketed as something that will affect only a few people, the ‘rich’ ones at that.

This could not be more misleading.

This will affect everyone who has superannuation. Every mum and dad

Mark Davidson, Ord Minnett Buderim.

BEWARE THE IMPUTATION CHANGE

T

he federal Labor opposition has announced plans to scrap the refund of excess dividend imputation credits.

What is dividend imputation, what does the change mean, and who does it affect?

Dividend imputation was introduced in 1987 when Paul Keating was treasurer. It is simply an arrangement in Australia and several other countries that eliminates the double taxation of cash payouts from a corporation to its shareholders. Through the use of tax credits called ‘franking credits’ or ‘imputed tax credits’, the tax authorities are notified that a company has already paid the required income tax on the income it distributes as dividends. The shareholder then does not have to pay tax on the dividend income. Finland, Italy, Mexico and New Zealand also have dividend imputation systems.

In any other country, corporate dividends are taxed twice. Double taxation of dividends occurs when both a company and a shareholder pay tax on the same income. The company pays taxes on profits and subsequently distributes a dividend out of its after-tax profits. Shareholders must then pay tax on the dividend received.

The double taxation system can cause corporations to prefer debt over equity, makes companies more likely to retain their earnings, and drags down economic growth.

The Howard/Costello government amended the system of dividend imputation so that any franking credits received in excess of the tax payable were

“This proposed change will negatively affect almost everyone in Australia ” investor, every young person trying to build their wealth, every retiree – wealthy or otherwise. Most super funds invest in Australian shares that pay franked dividends. Every industry fund. Every retail fund. This proposed change will negatively affect almost everyone in Australia and could potentially lead to lower growth and mispricing of assets as investors chase riskier higher-yield returns.

It is too early to say whether this policy will be implemented. No doubt there will be much behind-the-scenes lobbying. It will be a case of wait and see. And hope (not).

MY TIME

TODD’S TALES

DIDGE, DRUM AND DANCE MASTERS RETURN

Todd Widdicombe says it’s time to come clean about his wife’s dirty little secret.

I

busted my wife Michelle the other night doing something that has forever altered the very fabric of our relationship.

This beautiful woman, my best friend of 20 years, the mother of my four kids, my rock. How could she? The bigger question is, how can I? How can I move forward from this betrayal? How can we even attempt a reconciliation? Will I ever be able to trust her again? How long has this been going on?

The fallout from this type of deception is huge and I know I’m not Jessica Watson (new phrase to replace saying Robinson Crusoe, or

John Sanders, or Kay Cottee. Or you can use the rhyming slang, which is Pat Malone or Bugsy Malone. You could even say “I know I’m not Tom Hanks in Cast Away” but was he really alone given he had Wilson the volleyball for company?). Sorry, I digress.

Point is, I’m not alone. In fact, the startling thing is this is happening to blokes all over the Coast. The statistics of this heinous dishonesty are astounding. More and more women are straying to the dark side and us blokes are helpless to stop them.

I’m assuming you know what I’m talking about but for those who need me to say it out loud…

Yep, you guessed it, I caught my wife in bed watching Married at First Sight.

I’ve suspected something’s been going on for a while now. She’s been disengaged, constantly chatting on her phone in whispers (which I’ve now discovered was her talking with her sister Sharon about how much of a douche Dean is). She’s deleted texts to her various girlfriends and wiped her browser history (after spending hours watching and re-watching MAFS episodes) and has even locked herself in our room to binge on this salacious distraction.

When confronted with the facts she broke

down and said she didn’t know what was happening to her, she was terrified of the monster she’d become and even begged me for a second chance, but not before locking herself in the bathroom to watch the final five minutes of the latest episode where Tracey demands commitment from Dean while he wants her to be a stay-at-home mum. I mean, WTF? As the kids say, Why the Face?

Michelle has promised me she’ll change.

She’ll do everything she can to mend the broken trust. She’s swears she’ll never see MAFS again – convenient given it’s pretty much finished for the season. But I’m no fool.

Once bitten, twice shy and with The Bachelor about to come on the telly, I know she’ll be back to her dirty, secretive ways soon enough.

Lucky for me I too have a mistress and her lure is far too great to resist. I’m into her big time and I spend my Friday nights, some Saturdays and most Sunday afternoons with her. Her name is footy and she’s a ripper.

Perhaps the key to success in this sitcho is an open marriage. Michelle can have Dean and Tracey and I’ll have JT and my Cowboys.

You and I both know who’s getting the better deal. Sure there’s the electrifying drama and the sexy, well-fit contestants, but then again I’m sure Dean and Tracey go alright too.

After epic shows at the Woodford Folk Festival, Wild Marmalade are returning to the Sunshine Coast.

Wild Marmalade are the pioneers of the didgeridoo and drum sound that is now a global phenomena. From their humble origins as street entertainers in the late ’90s, they have taken their unique brand of didgeridoo and drum dance music to stages, clubs and festivals the world over.

Every performance is unique and crafted specifically for the time, place and audience.

With an ethos of free-play improvisation, the trio create waves of energy that take the audience under their dance spell.

Wild Marmalade will be joined by Flaskas at the Imperial Hotel Eumundi on March 24 from 7.30pm. Tickets are $25 plus booking fee from oztix.com.au or $30 at the door.

READER’S CORNER Into the Water Author: Paula Hawkins Publisher: Penguin RRP: $32.99 Reviewer: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane Those who picked up a copy of The Girl on the Train know how well Paula Hawkins uses masterful prose to take the reader on a journey with her incredibly believable characters, and after reading Into the Water, I can’t wait to see what she has to offer next.

Drawn back to the town of her childhood following the untimely death of her sister Nell, Jules is faced with an unwavering belief that her death was not a suicide as determined by the police investigators and sets out to uncover the truth.

Following the perspective of many of those who live in the backwater town, Ms Hawkins has an uncanny ability to layer her stories with so many twists and turns that the unpredictable nature of her beautifully fallible human characters will keep you engaged all the way through to the stunning conclusion. myweeklypreview.com.au

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

You’re fired up about making something big happen ASAP, but Saturn and retro Mercury caution you about taking shortcuts and relying on others. Don’t expect influential people to drop everything and hand you your dream.

With Mercury (your ruling planet) moving backwards, be extra careful how you give and receive information.

If in doubt, don’t hesitate to double-check. Plus, avoid starting major ventures or signing important contracts until after April 15.

A loved one, friend, partner or rival could stun you by making a move, so make sure you’re prepared with a few fast moves of your own! Is your love life stuck on auto-pilot? Uranus encourages you to look at things from a fresh angle.

Some Scorpios can too easily get stuck in a stultifying daily regime. This week, it’s time to ricochet out of your usual routine and do something completely different. Variety is the spice of life, as you experiment with exciting new activities.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

This week’s full blue moon highlights romance, networking, creative endeavours and group projects. With your sparky mojo and momentum running on high speed, you’re ready to rock, but Saturn and retrograde Mercury caution you to slow down.

When it comes to your domestic life, a dash of disruption may be just what the doctor ordered! Shake things up on the home front, but Saturn and retro Mercury caution you to be very clear when you’re communicating with family and friends.

This week’s planetary aspects help you communicate your ideas with pizazz, as you link up with like-minded people or influential international connections, but don’t get so side-tracked that you lose sight of the authentic Aquarian within.

With Mercury reversing through your money zone (until April 15), the more educated and thorough you are about money matters, the more your financial situation will gradually improve. But, expect some annoying hassles and hiccups along the way.

PARKRIDGE PROMOTION

IMPECCABLE DESIGN, SUPERB LOCATION

Some of the best creative minds in the business joined forces to create Parkridge Noosa, a masterplanned community unlike any other.

T

wo of the Sunshine Coast’s most experienced and awarded architectural firms and a leading interior designer have combined their collective experience to deliver Parkridge Noosa, one of the area’s most popular masterplanned residential communities.

Maroochydore’s Blackburne Jackson Design and Peregian Beach-based Sparks Architects have been responsible for the design and architectural elements, while another local, Brooke Marsh, has added her vast interior design skills to the project.

Blackburne Jackson director Rohan Jackson says the design brief was based around creating a prestigious modern living destination that reflects the Noosa lifestyle and the natural context in which it is located.

“We wanted to create a relationship between building elements and the site environs, which would be reinforced through a selection of natural textures and finishes,” he says. “Ultimately we’ve tried to capture the outstanding natural elements that make the location so special.

“For example, the Lake Weyba view will be constantly changing in response to weather conditions and the moon patterns.

There’s also the long distance views to the hinterland, the fauna sounds of the national park as well as the setting sun, which marks the close of the day as shadows lengthen and light fades.

“The sloping nature of the site’s topography has enabled our architects to distribute the different apartment stock in a tiered or levelled fashion that enables commanding views to the lake to be captured from most parts of the development,” he says.

Mr Jackson says the architectural design has responded to community expectations

AT A GLANCE

Rohan Jackson, Brooke Marsh & Dan Sparks on a number of levels, ranging from the quality inclusions in the apartments, the stunning central facilities and the prominent landscape spaces that tie the entire development to the park surrounds.

“We wanted to create comfortable internal environs for occupants through appropriate orientation, ventilation and natural light, while also minimising mechanical ventilation for heating and cooling, as well as the reliance of artificial lighting,” Mr Jackson says.

Ms Marsh says the stunning deposits of pristine white sand occurring naturally at Parkridge inspired the interior design concepts for the project.

“The aesthetic is quintessentially Noosa as we pay homage to Noosa’s light, bright, balmy days and its relaxed energy. This, coupled with the close proximity to Noosa’s beaches, led us to a relaxed yet elegant beachy interior of soft greys, whites, light timbers and stone textures.

“Internal finishes and fixtures incorporate high-quality natural finishes that reference the natural beauty of the site. The use of stone, timber and warm greys against a classic white backdrop result in elegant spaces that acknowledge the site surrounds while providing a clean base to which residents can add their own personal touch.

Parkridge Noosa Features: A choice of two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments and villas.

Two 25-metre lap pools, gymnasium, cafe, convenience store set amongst 2,500m2 of central parkland. Minutes from Noosa Junction and Hastings Street, and local shops, boutiques, schools, medical and sporting facilities.

Where: Resort Drive, Noosa Heads.

Prices: From $705,000 up to $2.5 million for four-bedroom villas with 180-degree panoramic water views of Lake Weyba.

Contact: Jeremy Gilmore 0418 943 787 parkridgenoosa.com

“Nothing has been left to chance at Parkridge Noosa. Beauty is in the detail, with attention paid to the craftsmanship of cabinetry finishes and fittings while a mix of feature track lighting, understated white pendants and strip lighting is assigned to optimise functionality and ambience,” Ms Marsh says.

Dan Sparks has been responsible for the design of the villas within Parkridge and says the inspiration has come from the organic forms, textures and colours of found objects within a coastal environment, such as sea shells, driftwood and pebbles.

“They also pay a respectful nod to traditional beach-house vernacular with their simple skillion roofs and fibre cement cladding – albeit in a more refined way,” Mr Sparks says. “This philosophy is embraced for both exterior and interior elements of the design and results in a sophisticated yet casual and undeniable coast aesthetic and ambience.”

RESURGENT NOOSA JUNCTION’S WELCOMING VIBE PROVES POPULAR WITH LOCALS AND VISITORS Located just three kilometres from the new Parkridge Noosa masterplanned residential community, Noosa Junction is the ideal location for residents to ride, walk or drive to enjoy some of the Sunshine Coast’s best cafes, restaurants, boutiques, retail shops and boutiques.

More recently, Noosa Junction has undergone a resurgence with a number of

exciting businesses setting up camp in the bustling precinct. Among the newcomers are Larder and Baked, which offers healthy, fresh and affordable meals, and Bombetta, a stunning Italian eatery operated by the former owner of Noosa’s acclaimed Gaston restaurant. If Mexican is your thing, then Paradise Arcade offers Cali-Mexicaninspired food and stunning cocktails while Village Bicycle is an ideal place to enjoy casual food and a wide range of beverages.

Noosa Junction has plenty of entertainment on offer, including a host of live performances from local, national and international acts at renowned venue The J, or you can catch the latest flicks at Noosa’s only cinema, Birch Carroll and Coyle on Sunshine Beach Road. On the

third Friday of each month from 5pm to 9pm, Noosa Junction comes alive with the twilight markets, which offer a family-friendly way to enjoy food, live music and artisan stalls in a beautiful outdoor environment.

AT A GLANCE Noosa Junction The distance to Parkridge Noosa is 3.1 kilometres via Cooyar Street. It has about 270 businesses including two supermarkets, a cinema, cultural centre, gallery, plus restaurants, cafes and specialty stores.

HOME SCHOOL IS IN Wannabe homeowners are being encouraged back to school to get a foot onto the property ladder.

W

hile more people around the country are taking their first steps into the property market, First Home Owner School founder Ian Baker saw a need for comprehensive information sessions for Sunshine Coast first homeowners to dispel some of the myths and show them that property ownership is within their reach.

The recently released housing finance figures from HIA show first homeowners (FHO) are at a five-year high, accounting for 18 per cent of mortgage home loans to owner-occupiers.

But Mr Baker, who has been working in the finance and property industry for more than 35 years, says he continues to see the disappointment and frustration of some FHOs after setting out to buy their first home in what he believed to be counterproductive methods.

To combat this, Mr Baker established the First Home Owner School, a two-part course which brings clarity to the complex First Home Owner Grant, how the banks look at finance applications, how much it really costs to buy a home when you include fees and charges and tips on how to purchase with a minimum deposit.

“We have all heard the saying that knowledge is power and that is the goal of the FHO School,” he says.

“Not only will we be empowering the FHO with the knowledge they need to make owning their first home a reality, we will also be helping them make the transition from being a tenant renting a property to that of being a homeowner.”

Mr Baker says raising a deposit is one of the hardest things facing FHO on the Sunshine Coast due to paying high rents at the same time as trying to save.

“The Sunshine Coast is a perfect example where first home ownership seems unattainable. And can be, if you are a first homeowner expecting to buy your dream home right out of the gate,” he says.

“Buy a first home that puts you in a positive financial position to buy your second home” Ian Baker

“If this isn’t an option for you, considering taking the stepping stone approach can get you into your first home sooner. This is a simple approach where you buy a first home that puts you in a positive financial position to buy your second home and so on.”

Mr Baker says the seven-letter word, deposit, has become highly negative in property narrative, but it doesn’t have to be.

“We reduce it down to what it is, a number which given the right knowledge is attainable in achieving,” he says.

“The opportunity for people to purchase their first home is within reach to nearly everyone in our opinion, they just need to be shown how it is possible.”

The FHO school has a unique Graduation Grants program, which assists eligible first homeowners with fast-track deposit funding. The initiative is a game changer when it comes to getting people into their first homes sooner.

AURA’S NEW PRECINCT COMES TO LIFE Land is now available in the new Aura Central Precinct, which will be the future heart of the Aura development.

A total of 100 lots in the first land release have been made available to registered homebuyers, with prices ranging from $170,000 for a 188-square metre lot to $332,300 for a 961-square metre lot.

Adrian Allen, Aura project director for Stockland, says the affordability of land, coupled with the outstanding location, is already driving strong demand for Aura Central, which will one day feature the Aura City Centre, the People’s Place with a South Bank-style parkland, and a range of education and sporting facilities.

“This first release presents a fantastic opportunity for homebuyers taking their first step on the property ladder through to upgraders seeking a spacious family home in the heart of the Sunshine Coast’s newest city,” Mr Allen says.

“Each lot is located within walking distance of the future Aura City Centre and People’s Place, while also being close to the Bells Creek North conservation area and neighbourhood parks.”

Aura Central will also feature numerous community centres, parks, a conservation area, and an extensive network of dedicated cycling and walking paths, including the continuation of the Aura Veloway.

The next course will be held on March 27 from 6.30pm at the Regatta Corporate Building in Birtinya and another session will be help on April 10 at 6.30pm at the Harmony Display Village. For more information, visit fhoschool.com.au.

LOCAL LIGHTS SHINE Sunshine Coast offices were recognised for outstanding achievement at the First National General Excellence and Marketing Awards, held at Sofitel Brisbane earlier this month.

The awards shone a light on the state’s leading agents, property managers and offices of 2017, which, according to Queensland chairman David Forrest, faced a considerable variance of market conditions throughout the state.

First National Coastal achieved the highest number of exclusive listings, the highest number of settled sales, and the highest gross sales and leasing commission for a medium-sized commercial office.

First National Beerwah achieved the highest number of residential settled sales for a medium office and First National Carolans came in the top ten offices in Queensland for the performance of its property management department.

First National Beerwah and First National Coastal offices were both recognised as performing in the top ten offices in Queensland across all departments.

Key staff members were also recognised for their individual performances – Amber Hackworthy of First National Coastal received two Diamond Awards for her

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

Six weeks ago Julian Wilson ruptured his AC joint, and I can tell you it does hurt as I did the same injury mountain biking.

So with no training and little water time he wins the Quiksilver Pro on the Gold Coast in spectacular form. His near-perfect 10-point ride is worth watching. Ninety-nine per cent of surfers would have straightened out but he pulled under the hood and scored big time!

Okay, there will be waves this weekend but I’m still on a high from snowboarding in North America. Enjoy, and congrats to Mr Wilson – if he could final at Bells and Margarets that would be an epic start to his World Title campaign.
