FROM THE EDITOR

L

ike many young children, our little boy is obsessed with helicopters. His head instantly snaps up, his eyes eagerly searching the sky whenever he hears that signature hum of a rescue helicopter.

He may only be five, but he confidently tells us that one day he is going to be an engineer on those machines. He certainly has plenty of role models to look up to for inspiration. These ‘superheroes’ may not wear capes, or be famous for that matter, but they are working tirelessly to keep our community safe.

Most people would be familiar with these blue and yellow helicopters that travel from one end of the Coast to the other, day and night.

What you might not realise is how hard the LifeFlight team work. From the engineers right through to the pilots, medical team and crew members, these men and women save lives and transport patients to vital healthcare facilities.

I find it frustrating when residents complain about the noise these large helicopters make. Without these helicopters – and the people working on the ground and onboard – thousands of people in need of medical care may not have received the urgent help required. One day, it could be your family relying on this service. This week, we chat with the LifeFlight team to find out more about their lifesaving work.

The story is on page eight.

We also have our regular local news, fashion, entertainment, food and property. Enjoy.

What achievement are you most proud of? My family, my friendships and starting Blackbird with a blind determination and belief that it would all work out.

You are happiest when? I am spending time with my family and friends, watching a campfire and flipping my pillow to the cold side just before I go to sleep.

“You can’t be everything to everyone. Start where you want to finish”

When was the last time you played sport and what was it? Touch football last Wednesday night.

It’s the only sport I’ve ever loved.

r e k r o w social

birthday, having worked as a social worker for 20 years, I decided it was time to follow my passion and start my own practice, working with women in the perinatal period. It was a risk but has been the best decision I’ve ever made.

If you could have dinner with any three people, dead or alive, who would they be? My nana (Joan Flaskas), Dave Grohl and Brené Brown.

If you won $1 million, how would you spend it? I would start a mother/baby unit on the Sunshine Coast for all mothers to get a decent sleep and the support they need in the fourth trimester (aka the postnatal period).

Best day in your life and why? Moving to Perth after university. I spent a year driving up and down the coast, discovering beautiful places, with no responsibilities.

NRL or AFL? Growing up, my family was obsessed with NRL. My younger brother is now the business manager, production at Fox Sports in Sydney, so I would be disowned if I didn’t say NRL.

Can you nominate a day in your life that turned out to be a turning point and why? Just before my 40th

FLYING FOR OUR LIVES

IMAGE: KRISTA EPPELSTUN

Most of us don’t have any idea of the incredible work done by the RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter service. But those whose lives have been saved and changed by this service most certainly do, and they will never forget them. WORDS: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane.

Dr Ajay Verma and his family meet the LifeFlight crew who saved his life in December last year

F

or four decades, there has been a team of superheroes that fly to the rescue of people of all ages across the Coast and beyond with just a moment’s notice.

These heroes don’t wear capes, but they save lives every single day as they fly into hazardous conditions, deploy winch rescue professionals and provide world-class medical care while airborne on route to the nearest hospital.

They are the RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter service.

The Sunshine Coast-based aeromedical team performed 450 missions last financial year at a cost of $5.6 million, making it one of the busiest bases in RACQ LifeFlight Rescue’s fleet.

What began as a single aircraft in 1979 has grown into eight bases, 10 helicopters, three air ambulance jets and more than 400 medical, aircrew and support staff that have saved more than 50,000 lives.

Among them is Sunshine Coast doctor Ajay Verma.

The Buderim Private Hospital Medical Centre doctor often works at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH) and can see the helipad used by the LifeFlight Rescue helicopter service from the room where he works. But he never imagined that one day he would be one of the people being flown in for emergency care.

the seafloor because he was panicking and he wouldn’t leave me. I managed to give him a big push and he went to the shore and then I was stuck in the rip.

“I remember I lost consciousness briefly and after a certain amount of time, I found somebody pulling me out of the water onto their surfboard to get me onto the beach.”

under the watchful eyes of their parents while Dr Verma went to the car.

On his return, he saw his youngest nephew was in trouble, being dragged out into deeper water in a rip.

“My instant reaction was that if I didn’t do anything, he’s going to drown. So I went in to catch hold of him and he grabbed my upper shoulders and suddenly we had a wave on top of us,” Dr Verma recalled.

“He was above me and I was pushed to

him while the ambulance arrived.

The situation was critical, with Mr Verma vomiting, going in and out of consciousness and recording a blood oxygen saturation at a dangerously low 70 per cent with a worryingly low pulse.

LifeFlight critical care doctor Joakim Johansson says they arrived at Rainbow Beach 15 minutes after they received the call.

“I’d say in nine out of 10 of our retrievals, the Queensland Ambulance Service beats us

to the patient and they do the first assessment as in this case,” Dr Johansson says. “With a blood saturation content of 70 per cent, Ajay was critical and his lips were blue. If he dropped any lower, he would be unconscious, so this was a close call.

“The ambulance did what they could to administer oxygen, but they don’t have a ventilator, which we have in our chopper. We decided to use our ventilator to induce positive pressure on the lungs, which were wet from swallowing the salt water. We were able to bring his [oxygen] saturation up to 90 per cent, which made me feel more comfortable and then we took off to land 15 to 20 minutes later on top of the SCUH.” Although Dr Verma had to spend 48 hours in the intensive care unit at hospital and went through treatment for pneumonia, a four-week X-ray revealed everything had cleared and he was back to life as normal.

“My situation was a matter of life and death. I have a new lease on life and I can’t thank them enough for what they have done for me and my family,” he says.

“It was a different experience to be on the other side of the fence; to be a patient.

“Everyone from the surf lifesavers to the ambulance service and LifeFlight are incredible organisations.

“It is important that the wider community do whatever they can to keep their services going so they can continue to give treatment and carry out rescue myweeklypreview.com.au

LifeFlight is a community-based charity. Up to 30 per cent of costs are covered by funding from sponsors and donations.

operations through to the next generation.”

Sunshine Coast lawyer Travis Schultz is a member of the LifeFlight Foundation Board, the community-based organisation that funds and supports the emergency aeromedical services of LifeFlight Australia.

Mr Schultz says he’d only had “fairly fleeting encounters” with the organisation before taking a seat at the board table.

“Like many Sunshine Coasters, I’d enjoyed their events and the hospitality on offer, but I’d never had an opportunity to look under the bonnet, so to speak, and gain a true understanding of the lifesaving team at RACQ LifeFlight Rescue and what they do on a day-to-day basis,” he says.

“LifeFlight is a community service which provides search and rescue for both ocean and bushland missions. Our helicopter crews can perform water winch rescues for beach and ocean emergencies, as well as land winching to extract patients from difficult terrain, such as the Glass House Mountains.

“The hinterland communities are widespread and can be remote, so it’s often a lengthy road trip to hospital by ambulance.

“Our helicopters have a medical team on board, which includes a critical care doctor and flight paramedic, so patients don’t have to wait to receive medical treatment – they

On average, each mission costs more than $12,500.

The service is provided at no cost to the patients.

The 2017–2018 financial year was a record year, with RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopters performing 1819 community missions.

Since the first patient was airlifted in southeast Queensland in 1979, the organisation has saved more than 50,000 lives. are getting hospital-level medical care as soon as RACQ LifeFlight Rescue arrives.”

Mr Schultz says up to 30 per cent of costs are covered through fundraising in the community and these costs are ongoing and increasing as demand for the service grows.

“The next four decades will offer new challenges,” he says. “In the future, we will continue to keep up with the latest technology and attract the most highlyskilled aeromedical crews in the world.

“We are privileged to have incredible support from the community and I would like to see that continue to gain momentum.

In many ways, we belong to the community.

It’s the people’s rescue service.”

One of the most high-profile nights on the Coast social calendar, the Flying Forties LifeFlight Ball, is fast approaching and is the biggest fundraising event for the Sunshine Coast base.

Celebrity chef Matt Golinski will be a guest of honour at this year’s black-tie event, which will be held at Novotel Twin Waters on April 5.

TAKING FLIGHT RACQ LifeFlight Aircrew Officer Scott Reeman joined the organisation on the Sunshine Coast in the mid-1990s and is one of the longest-serving current team members. Here, he shares his insights into his life in the sky.

“In 1996 I joined Sunshine Coast Helicopter Rescue Service, which is now called RACQ LifeFlight Rescue, as a rescue swimmer conducting surf patrols. There was a natural progression to winch operator and assisting the medical crew. As an aircrew officer, I assist the pilot in mission planning, navigation, co-ordination with other emergency services, identifying safety risks and hazards and supporting the pilot’s decisions in the cockpit.

“We are a conduit between where people are and where they need to be. We can’t do anything about what caused the situation, but we know we are providing a higher level of care than they might have received otherwise.

“Even though the flight crew are very hands on, assisting the medical crew, we are a little removed from the health-care responsibility. Our job is to safely get the healthcare professionals and their gear to the patient, then take them to the most appropriate healthcare facility.

“I have so much admiration for our RACQ LifeFlight Rescue paramedics, nurses and critical care doctors who deal with trauma and sickness many times a day. It’s not for everyone.

“We are on call 24/7 to respond to any type of emergency situation. They could be rescues in the big surf, long-term searches for someone bobbing around in the ocean waiting to be rescued, landing on the highway for a high-speed collision, or picking up a critical-care medical team to do an interhospital transfer, being on call by pager (pre-smartphone days) and getting patients to a safe place, then going home after cleaning up for the next job. All of this could have been in one day.

“During natural disasters, the number of taskings increases for the emergency services, and land-based services have trouble getting

access to people, even in suburban areas.

“The floods of 2009, 2010, 2011 were perfect examples of this. So many calls were coming in – everyone with genuine concerns and requests for assistance – it was a real challenge to render assistance to everyone at the same time.

“The obvious changes for the service over time have been the evolution from a 1.5-tonne, single-engine, two-blade helicopter and Visual Flying Rules, to a 6.5-tonne, two-engine, five-blade helicopter, with air-conditioning (yay) and Instrument Flying Rules.

“Long-time residents of the Coast will well remember seeing the very reliable, capable and trusted Bell Jet Ranger and Longranger aircraft which operated in this area for many years. There wasn’t much we couldn’t do in them. In those days, we manned the base during the day and were on call at night.

“We had to fly from our base at the Maroochydore Airport to Nambour General Hospital, pick up a specialist emergency retrieval team consisting of doctor and nurse, then fly to the job. Today, the base is manned 24 hours, with a pilot, aircrew officer, flight critical care paramedic, and a LifeFlight critical care doctor. Basically, the cabin of the helicopter is a flying ambulance, emergency department or intensive care unit. The equipment may be smaller and lighter to allow it to be mobile, but it is as advanced as it gets anywhere in the world.”

REVIEW

BRUCE HIGHWAY SOUTHBOUND EXIT OPENS Work on the Bruce Highway between Caloundra Road and the Sunshine Motorway has yielded its first permanent change, with the opening of the new southbound Exit 190 earlier this week. The former exit to Pignata Road, Glenview and the Aussie World precinct was shifted around 400 metres further south. The new 60-kilometre zone allows motorists to loop back towards the Aussie World precinct or head south towards Brisbane if they are leaving the precinct. This new road also allows access to a new car pool facility and will free up the roads for work to begin on three new southbound lanes. Northbound motorists will still use the Frizzo Road on-ramp to access the Bruce Highway.

STUDENTS HELP GIVE WILDLIFE NEW HOMES Coast school students have lent a hand to help boost the number of wildlife species now calling Aura home as part of World Wetlands Day celebrations. Students from Baringa State Primary School and Unity College helped plant 750 sedges and reeds within one of Aura’s specially designed acid frog breeding ponds located in the dedicated Aura Conservation Zone. As part of the celebrations, frog expert Dr Ed Meyer spoke to students about the area’s acid frogs, followed by Fauna Watch’s Rod Kernot, who spoke about some of the new species of wildlife found at Aura in the past year.

New Queensland Government population projections are forecasting the Sunshine Coast to grow over the coming decades at a faster rate than previously expected. Property Council Queensland executive director Chris Mountford says faster growth is good news for the economy and community, but represents a planning challenge for local policymakers. According to the latest State Government population projections, the combined population of the Sunshine Coast and Noosa local government areas is now expected to reach 580,000 by 2041, up from previous forecasts of 558,000.

$5.1 MILLION SCHOOL START MADE EASIER For the 15th year running, the Buderim Foundation has participated in the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) Back to School Program, helping local families who need assistance with school expenses like clothing, shoes and stationery. Buderim Foundation director Rebecca Ramsay says with the assistance of the Buderim Lions Club and Buderim Rotary Club, $11,000 worth of $50 vouchers had been distributed to Mountain Creek State School, Chancellor State School Campuses, Buderim Mountain State School and SunnyKids this year.

The announcement by the Prime Minister that he supports the development of a City Deal for southeast Queensland (SEQ) has been welcomed by Sunshine Coast Council. Mayor Mark Jamieson says the SEQ City Deal will be the largest in Australia and will provide a blueprint for the future productivity and liveability of the region. “With the support of the Queensland Government and now the positive response from the Prime Minister, we are confident that we will now be able to achieve an historic tripartite agreement that will have significant benefit for the 3.5 million people that live in SEQ today and the 5.1 million people who will live here by 2041,” he says.

STATE-OF-THE-ART DREDGE COMES TO COAST The Coast is now home to state-of-the-art technology that will assist in the upkeep of local waterways, with Buderim-based dredging and civil construction company Hall Contracting having added a Cameron, Helen, Brian and Peter Hall $1.3 million amphibious dredge to its fleet. Hall Contracting CEO Cameron Hall says the dredge – christened Mooloolah River – is the first in the company’s fleet of 11 dredges with the ability to operate both on land and in water. Mr Hall says the dredge’s highly mobile and compact design would enable Hall Contracting to tackle a wide range of shallow water projects that previously would have posed accessibility challenges. myweeklypreview.com.au

CONTINUING VIC’S IMPORTANT LEGACY Immaunel Lutheran College graduate the first to win two Vic Walker awards. WORDS: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane.

T

iahn Wildin Murrihy has made history by becoming the first Immanuel Lutheran College (ILC) student to receive both of the school’s prestigious Vic Walker accolades.

Last year, Miss Wildin Murrihy was presented with the 2018 Senior Secondary Vic Walker Achievement Award for best all-rounder and on March 7, she became the 20th recipient of the prestigious Vic Walker Memorial Scholarship.

In her final year of high school, Miss Wildin Murrihy was the president of the college’s Eco Club (she had also been a member for seven years), won academic awards, was presented with cultural awards for her music accomplishments and was a great athlete.

Now studying a Bachelor of Nursing Science at the University of the Sunshine Coast, Miss Wildin Murrihy aspires to gain a masters in paediatric nursing with the goal of working with international humanitarian organisation Mercy Ships. As the recipient of the Vic Walker Memorial Scholarship, which is worth $9000, Miss Wildin Murrihy will have her first year of university fees covered.

Jocelyn Walker established the scholarship in memory of her late husband,

of developing youth to empower them to live their best lives and was active in surf lifesaving, Rotary, public speaking and ILC, where his children Wendy and Drew were graduates in the classes of 1989 and 1993 respectively. Mr Walker presented the first Senior Secondary Vic Walker Achievement Award before he passed away in 1996 after a battle with cancer.

Mrs Walker says the scholarship was later created to ensure his desire to “progress

“Vic had an interest in promoting and progressing Immanuel Lutheran College” youth” continued. “Vic had an enormous interest in promoting and progressing Immanuel Lutheran College as it gave our children a terrific start in life,” she says.

“I am also a University of the Sunshine Coast foundation board member, which I have now been a part of for 22 years, so I thought it would be wonderful to link our

Tiahn Wildin Murrihy with Jocelyn Walker a successful businessman who created the iconic Moby Vic’s complex on the Bruce Highway in 1978. At the time, it was the first 24-hour service station in Queensland.

two passions and form the scholarship.”

Like the 19 recipients before her, Miss Wildin Murrihy impressed the panel of judges, which includes Mrs Walker and her two children as well as representatives from ILC and USC, with her sound academic record, dedication to ILC and a consistent commitment to community service and generosity.

The 20th year of the scholarship was celebrated with a private gathering at the college, which was attended by 30 guests including some past scholarship recipients.

Mrs Walker says she feels like she has gained 20 new family members since the scholarship was created.

“Each year I get letters and cards from them all, particularly during their time of study at USC, and they give me updates of their results each year and share what their future goals are,” she says.

“When I reflect, I feel like I’ve gained so much and these 20 people have gone on to work extremely hard and have been great ambassadors for the scholarship. “[The scholarship] will continue long after I’m not here, Wendy and Drew will use it to continue to support and foster young people to achieve their dreams.”

DOWNSIZING YOUR HOUSE FOR SUPER’S SAKE

non-concessional contribution caps.

Further, you are not required to satisfy the work test and there is no maximum age limit to make the contribution.

Understandably, there are a number of key requirements that need to be satisfied before taking advantage of such an opportunity – broadly: • you haven’t already made use of the downsizer contribution rule • you must be 65 or over at the time you make the contribution • the contract of sale needs to be entered into after July 1, 2018

“There are a number of key requirements”

F

or those of you over the age of 65, you may be asking: is there a way to top up my super savings so that I retain the flexibility to afford an enjoyable retirement?

In short, from July 1, 2018 the government has given you that opportunity.

The government is allowing those over the age of 65 to relocate for the purpose of making a contribution to super.

Where you satisfy the rules (which are broadly detailed below) it may be possible to contribute up to $300,000 per person from the proceeds of the sale of your residence.

Importantly the contribution won’t count towards your concessional or

stream, the costs involved with selling your residence and purchasing a new one, and if there are any capital gains tax implications.

You also need to consider the lifestyle implications of selling the residence and moving.

As always, before doing anything, seek advice around your situation and objectives.

Other conditions may also apply.

To be clear, there are other factors that need to be considered before undertaking such a strategy.

For example, implementing such a strategy might mean you have further assets to use in your retirement which should provide you with increased flexibility to enjoy retirement. Conversely, one key downside is that the money you contribute from the sale may become assessable from a Centrelink and Aged Care perspective.

You also need to consider how much you already have in a tax-free retirement income

Quality patios and pergolas built to any budget. All styles, all areas.

• you are required to make the contribution within 90 days of the change of ownership • you are required to complete documents to confirm it is a downsizer contribution • you are unable to claim any part of the contribution as a tax deduction • you must satisfy the main residence capital gains tax exemption in whole or part • the property must have been owned by yourself and/or your spouse for more than 10 years before the sale.

PROFILE

IT’S GOOD TO GIVE After a decade of raising money and support, David Ross reflects on all he has done for the local community. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

I

n his 10 years volunteering for the Cancer Council Queensland, David Ross has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars by walking relays overnight in the rain, selling raffle tickets and organising countless dinners, trivia nights, movie nights, barbecues, cent auctions and wine drives. Then there was that time he swam with sharks.

“It was the scariest thing I’ve ever done,” he says. “I did a snorkel swim with sharks at SEA LIFE Mooloolaba and raised $5000 just by jumping in there. I jumped into the shark tunnel and was in there for about 20 minutes. They were swimming right near me. It felt like forever.”

The big-hearted Maroochydore man was recognised recently by Cancer Council Queensland for 10 years of volunteering and raising money for the organisation, something he fell into and

once he started, has never stopped.

“Back in 2009 a friend of mine asked if I wanted to join her team at the Nambour Relay for Life. I said ‘yes, why not?’. After the event she asked if I’d like to join the committee. Ten years later, I’m still here.

“At that stage I didn’t know anyone affected by cancer, but a year later I lost a friend to cancer and since then, I’ve lost a workmate and another friend. It means a lot to me to help raise funds to find a cure.

“I couldn’t believe it when they told me I’d been doing this for 10 years,” he says. “It doesn’t feel like 10 years.”

Mr Ross says he gets his philanthropic streak from his mother Celena Ross, who is well known on the Sunshine Coast as one of the founders of the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network.

“My mother used to work at the TAFE in Melbourne and she organised all the events,”

“Initially I found it intimidating asking people for money, but now it just washes over me”

he says. “She dressed me up as a koala one day. I was always getting involved in things she was doing. I’d be in the lounge room hearing her getting people to sponsor events and organise different functions. Maybe that’s gone into my head.”

As the chairperson of Sunshine Coast Relay for Life, Mr Ross volunteers 10 to 15 hours of his time a week organising fundraisers and teams for the relay.

“I co-ordinate the committee, I go out and source sponsors, I make sure everyone’s doing their jobs. I also do the marketing and organise the launch. Initially I found it intimidating asking people for money, but now it just washes over me. I go in there, tell

them who I am and what I’m doing and where the money is going. That’s the key thing – to know where the money is going.”

Mr Ross fits his volunteering around his regular job with Helping Hands Network, part of Junior Adventures Group, which offers outside school hours care. He was recently named employee of the year out of 2500 staff members across Australia. In recognition of his service, the company is donating $1000 to the Cancer Council Queensland.

Mr Ross is gearing up for his next fundraising event, the Brick Event Expo at Kawana Community Centre on March 16 and 17, where he’ll be selling raffle tickets.

He’s also preparing for the Sunshine Coast Relay for Life and would like to invite individuals and businesses to register teams.

Relay for Life will be held at the Sunshine Coast Stadium on May 18. For more information visit relayforlife.org.au.

MOMENTUM GROWS FOR STUDENT STRIKE The Sunshine Coast School Strike for Climate is set to make a big statement. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

H

undreds of students, teachers and parents will gather at Peregian Beach on Friday March 15 for the Sunshine Coast School Strike For Climate.

Sixteen-year-old Gympie student Shellie Cate Joseph is organising the event and says around 900 people have shown interest in attending. As a Year 12 student at St Patrick’s College, she is juggling a heavy workload at school while pulling together what she feels is an important event.

“I initially heard about the student strikes last year through the Australian Youth Climate Change Coalition,” she says.

“I know them from attending a summit in Melbourne in 2017 and they got in touch with me about leading one of the events.

“I had so much schoolwork and I couldn’t. Afterwards, I heard about the amazing impact the strikes had upon our politicians and I regretted not getting involved.”

MY19 RANGER XLT

MY19 RANGER XLS 4X4 MANUAL

The Sunshine Coast School Strike For Climate will kick off at 11am with a Welcome to Country, followed by short speeches and specific actions to send the right message.

“I will be speaking about the Adani coal mine and speaker two will be Rachel Chubb, who is from a farming community and goes to my school. She will talk about how climate change has affected her family.

“We’ll have a banner and everyone will take a different coloured Sharpie and write on the banner messages about why they are dissatisfied by the government’s action towards climate change, their fears and how they feel about the current situation. We’ll form a human ‘SOS’ sign on the beach and hold our placards. There will be drone images taken and spread on social media and sent to politicians.”

But it won’t be all business on the day. There will be plenty of fun, with live music, face painting, henna stalls and local street performers providing entertainment.

“We’re hoping to see as many young people, supporting teachers and parents as possible turn up,” she says. “As well as raising awareness of the climate crisis we’re facing, we’re also raising awareness of our demands. We have three: no new coal or gas; 100 per cent renewables by 2030; and stopping the Adani Carmichael mine from going ahead.

“I’d like to say to people it’s not actually our future we’re fighting for, it’s our present. This is our problem now. We have to step up. Unfortunately our politicians haven’t and we need to make a change.”

A Sunshine Coast physiotherapist has been selected to join the Pain Revolution Rural Outreach Tour and is set to cycle 700 kilometres in seven days to raise awareness of chronic pain and funds for research.

Sophie Stewart has been working with patients suffering from persistent pain at Nambour Sports and Spinal for the past five years and is passionate about educating people about the options available to them.

“The purpose of the ride is to empower the community to know how they can help themselves by rethinking persisting pain, reengaging with professionals and recovering from pain with the resources we have – those are our biggest goals and we really do need a revolution,” Ms Stewart says.

Ms Stewart was selected to join the multidisciplinary team of researchers, GPs, physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, anesthetists and psychologists from all over southeast Australia and they will take on the Tasmanian countryside from March 16 to 22.

The Palmview resident has been training for the challenge, which will see them cover close to 100 kilometres each day. Ms Stewart has already eclipsed her $3000 fundraising target for the ride, but if you would like to contribute towards vital research into persistent pain, donate at painrevolution2019. everydayhero.com/au/sophie.

TRAVEL

GET COOKING Cooking tours continue to grow in popularity.

From ancient villas to farmhouses and restaurants, the locations are diverse and exciting. Here are five suggestions to get you inspired.

Italy, with its fresh produce and local markets, is a haven for foodies

A MOUTHFUL OF MEMORIES There’s no faster path into the heart of Italy than learning to cook with a local chef. WORDS: Candice Holznagel.

F

or years my mum and aunt have regaled me with tales of the ‘old tomato days’. They tell of bubbling pots, and of sterilised jars brimming with fragrant pasta sauce.

I always picture the pair of them, with their dark wavy hair, giggling as they run in and out of their nonna’s kitchen, their 1960s frocks stained red with juice.

I feel sentimental each time I cook up a batch of pasta sauce, the garlic and basil aromas wafting from the pot conjuring a sense of pride in our heritage.

I never had the opportunity to meet my great nonna, or my actual grandparents for that matter, but part of my heart belongs in Italy and I have always felt the need to perfect these rich homemade dishes, and what better way to do so than in the home country while

on a holiday in Bellagio.

Perched on the edge of the majestic Lake Como in the Lombardy region, this quaint village welcomes you with its cobbled lanes, centuries-old crumbling villas and colour.

Colour in the wild flowerbeds with bursts of pink and yellow, in the green mountains that frame the picturesque town, and in the personalities of the local residents, including the animated chef Luigi Gandola who greets us with his infectious grin as we clamour into his car excited for a day of cooking.

As the car pulls to a stop we take in the rustic yellow restaurant. Green vines, laden with bunches of deep purple grapes, twist and climb around wooden beams. It’s stunning. The kitchen itself is like many Italian kitchens, welcoming and warm.

Our small group who make up the

cooking class at Ristorante Salice Blu are enthusiastic and eager to get to work.

Luigi is humble and bouncing with energy as he shares his recipes for coloured ravioli, gnocchi and saffron risotto. We mix, roll and cut our creations, taking in his expertise. He has, after all, secured more than 34 gold medals in the industry and has been named the best chef in Lombardy.

As we sit on the restaurant’s veranda, with smells of fresh basil and oregano tickling our noses, we sip on Italian wine, enjoying our handmade fare and chat with Luigi about the beauty of cooking and sharing family recipes. Family has always been his motivation. The Italians believe to live is to eat, family recipes are priceless and the moments shared cooking create lifelong memories. Just ask my mum.

GOOD TASTES OF TUSCANY Offering one-day, two-day and week-long cooking classes in the kitchen of the Renaissance Villa Pandolfini, you will enjoy a hands-on lesson with a qualified Italian chef.

The focus is on Tuscan fare.

Visit tuscany-cooking-class.com.

RISTORANTE SALICE BLU Located a short drive from the centre of Bellagio, chef Luigi offers one-day classes.

Visit ristorante-saliceblue-bellagio.it.

CASTEL MONASTERO You’ll find this castle in the heart of Siena.

MY OPINION

TRUE TO TRADITION

MORE TO FEAR THAN MOMO

Sami Muirhead is excited about Easter – chocolate, hot cross buns, new PJs and the happiness that comes from upholding tradition.

Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane says Momo is a timely reminder for parents to stringently monitor what their children are watching online.

T

here is one month until my favourite time of the year: the Festival of Easter. There is a strong religious aspect to Easter and I like to think we teach our kids basic Christian values. Two of my three kids are Catholic.

My husband is Catholic. I am not. And my third child is going to stay on team Mum. Things went a little pear-shaped at child number two’s christening when the priest performed a surprise exorcism. My husband’s side of the family are staunch Irish Catholic. My side of the family were raised believing Sundays are for the beach.

So you can imagine the look of horror and bewilderment from my clan when the priest held up my nude four-month old baby during a bizarre rant expelling the demons from my plump little innocent boy.

I now wish I had intervened, but I was so stunned I could only stand there wondering if this is what happens during a traditional christening. It was at the party afterwards when even the hardcore Catholics said it was a crazy christening.

But I do truly get excited about Easter, because it means cooler weather and chocolate and family time. It means fabulous seafood and books and flannelette pyjamas. In my head I picture us all wearing matching pyjamas and pigging out on Cadbury Creme Eggs.

My mother-in-law (the Irish Catholic one) is the most generous woman on the planet and always sends pyjamas to us at

Easter. Betty did this for her kids and now does it for her grandkids. I have no doubt we will continue this gorgeous tradition.

I love a tradition. Our traditions go beyond hot cross buns on Easter morning.

We cook pancakes on a Sunday morning and listen to The Beatles. We try to go to the beach for sunset and sit down to a roast Sunday nights. I let the kids have their birthday off school. We always watch Elf at Christmas and serve Dad brekky in bed on Father’s Day. We have a secret family handshake and every night we lie in bed with each child to talk about the day.

“Our traditions go beyond hot cross buns on Easter morning” It is tradition that brings me the biggest sense of family and a feeling of being content. Traditions add to the rhythm and seasonality of life and add stability to the busy days we all lead. It gives us all something to look forward to and to anchor us in our family when there may be tough times in the outside world.

I hope my kids remember these traditions as a way we nurtured them and their sense of belonging and carry them on with their children.

L

ast week was the first time I have heard of Momo. Once you see that ‘face’ you really can’t unsee it.

For those of you who are yet to be introduced to the latest internet ‘phenomenon’, Momo is the name given to an entity that is reported to be popping up in Kids YouTube videos, scaring the bejeebus out of children by issuing them warnings they will be killed in their sleep and in more alarming scenarios, encouraging them to harm themselves or others.

The physical Momo is a sculpture created by Japanese artist Keisuke Aiso, who makes models for horror shows. He created the Mother Bird piece in 2016 with the head and naked torso of a traumatised woman and the feet of a bird, after being inspired by a Japanese ghost story about a lady who dies in childbirth and haunts people by appearing and trying to hand them a baby before disappearing. The folklore says the ‘baby’ then turns into sticks or rocks.

But even Aiso could not imagine how an image of Mother Bird could be hijacked and morph into Momo, who is said to have traumatised countless children around the world and caused others to do things like shave off their hair and turn on the oven in the middle of the night.

The latest BBC reports on Momo say the whole thing is a hoax, with little evidence that the ghoulish figure has been spliced into Kids YouTube content featuring Peppa Pig and Fortnite videos

with bone-chilling threats being made to whoever has clicked on the video.

This is a timely reminder that contentsharing platforms don’t have an army of personnel vetting every single video that is uploaded onto the app.

While there are great reporting capabilities that allow parents to report unsuitable content, it is entirely possible that your child might stumble across one of the videos that has been manipulated and made its way through the automated videochecking algorithms in place to deal with the billions of videos uploaded across the globe every day.

Whether it is Momo, offensive voice dub-overs or inappropriate content that has been spliced into outwardly innocent videos, it is more important than ever for parents and caregivers to know what their children are accessing online.

There are settings you can access on both YouTube and the kids version of the platform that allow you to disable the search capabilities and instead only allow access to content from your chosen channels.

I recommend you do a quick Google search on what those are and take action today. Because once your little one sees something that could traumatise them or take away their innocence too early, you can’t undo it.

In the online world, prevention is much better than being faced with having to find a cure.

YOUNG AT ART RT

This Immanuel Lutheran College student and artist has a bright future. WORDS: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane.

A

t just 11 years old, Sienna Ohmsen has had her artworks selected to feature in three school art exhibitions and had a stunning painting of flowers in a vase adorning the walls of the University of the Sunshine Coast for two years.

The Year 7 Immanuel Lutheran College student says she first discovered a passion for art when she was nine years old.

“I painted two houses on a hill with a sunset and I thought it looked pretty cool,” she says.

“Then it went into the art show at my old school, Buddina State School, and it was pretty cool to have it in the exhibition.”

Sienna attended art classes after school for a few years, where she learned how to work with different mediums and perfect her brush strokes.

Now, she says inspiration can strike at any time. “I do more painting at home now,” she says.

“I did two just the other day. I had a blank canvas sitting at home and I painted a landscape on it and my art book was empty, so I painted a front page on it that had some mountains.”

All of her creations have pride of place on the walls in her mother’s home, which Sienna says is “filling up pretty quickly”.

Sienna says she was able to get priceless art tuition from internationally renowned artist Sue Needham after Ms Needham bought a home from her father, McGrath Estate Agents Mooloolaba agent Geoff Ohmsen.

Sienna says she hopes to become an artist when she is older and with so much FOODIE talent already being revealed in the variety of paintings she has created and showcased, hers is a name you may want to remember.

Another new store has opened at The Wharf Mooloolaba. Get Fresh @ The Wharf is a fresh food emporium and the first new retailer to open in 2019 at the beginning of stage three of the revitalisation. More than $10 million was invested in the precinct in 2017 and 2018, with more than 15 new restaurants, cafes and boutiques opening.

Get Fresh @ The Wharf owners John and Kylee O’Brien are thrilled to be officially opening the new store, having moved the business from Cotton Tree. Mr O’Brien says Get Fresh has been around for 10 years and they purchased the business two-and-a-half years ago. “We bought the business because we wanted something centred around healthy living and something that we could do as a family so all our children (aged 18, 16, 14 and 11) all work with us,” he says. Get Fresh stocks only premium-quality seasonal produce and has expanded to include a coffee, juice and smoothie bar.

READER’S CORNER THE MOTHER IN LAW Author: Sally Hepworth Publisher: Pan Macmillan RRP: $29.99 Reviewer: Jessica Kumar There is an old adage that goes “no matter how flat you make a pancake, there are always two sides”. Sally Hepworth’s latest novel, The Mother-in-Law, perfectly demonstrates how relationships are much like pancakes – there are always two perspectives. Few relationships are

more fraught with expectation and complexity than a mother-in-law’s relationship with her daughter-in-law.

Lucy desperately wanted a close connection with her mother-in-law. She pictured creating a warm and nurturing bond with her husband’s mother, cooking together and sharing confidences. From the very first meeting, though, it was obvious Lucy was never going to have that type of relationship with Diana. Capable, sensible and impeccably dressed, Diana was a well-respected member of her community, and an advocate for refugees. So when Diana is found dead, the initial suspicion of suicide seemed out of character. But who would want her dead?

This page-turning family drama has a delicious whodunit feel. If you enjoy Liane Moriarty, you’ll love The Mother-in-Law.

MY TIME

DOMINIQUE RIZZO’S STEAK SICILIAN-STYLE Serves four INGREDIENTS • 6 ripe tomatoes or 2 × 400g tin diced tomatoes • 100ml extra virgin olive oil • 4 × 150g sirloin steaks • Salt and pepper to taste • 2 garlic cloves, sliced • 1 stalk of celery, finely chopped • 40g split green olives, pitted and sliced • 1 red capsicum, seeded and cut into 1cm cubes • 15g capers in brine, drained • ½ tsp dried oregano • Crusty bread and green salad, to serve

recipe

METHOD To peel the tomatoes, bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Score the base with a cross and remove the eye, then place the tomatoes in the boiling water for about 30 seconds until the skin starts to come away.

Remove the tomatoes from the boiling water and place in a bowl of iced water to cool. Peel the skin, remove the seeds, roughly chop the flesh and set aside. Heat the olive oil in a frypan large enough to fit all the steaks over a high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and fry for 30 seconds each side. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds or until just coloured. Add the celery, olives and capsicum to the pan and cook for five minutes until the capsicum and celery have softened. Add the tomatoes, capers and oregano, lower the heat and simmer for five minutes. Place the steaks into a casserole or ceramic baking dish, pour over the sauce and bake for 10 minutes at 200°C. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, then serve with crusty bread and green salad.

Leading Queensland chef Dominique Rizzo shares one of her favourite authentic Italian recipes, packed full of flavour that will warm you up on autumn nights.

COOKING TIP Use two tins of peeled tinned tomatoes instead of fresh skinned tomatoes to reduce the preparation time.

LIVING GEMS BIDS A FOND FAREWELL

A

ward-winning Sunshine Coast lifestyle resort Living Gems Pacific Paradise is preparing to say goodbye to its sales manager Victoria Dent and site foreman James Drever.

Ms Dent has been working at the resort since its inception in 2015 and was there to welcome the first resident in 2016.

She has been selling homes at Living Gems Pacific Paradise since it was a block of land and says she will be sad to leave the resort. “I will miss the daily contact with our residents – it has been a wonderful place to work every day,” she says.

Sales have gone so well there are only a handful of architecturally designed homes left to purchase.

General manager Vlad Pullich says the success of Living Gems Pacific Paradise has exceeded expectations. “I believe it comes down to understanding what our residents want,” he says. “Baby Boomers demand a higher standard of living in over-50s options with buyers focused on an active and social lifestyle. They also want to be close to family and friends and to maintain community connections.”

Victoria Dent The centrepiece of he resort is its award-winning country club, which is home to more than 20 different recreational facilities including a tennis court, undercover bowling green, barbecue pavilion, snooker parlour, cinema, music room, hair salon and library.

Ms Dent says the resort is ideally located, as it is close to golf courses, shopping centres and, of course, stunning Sunshine Coast beaches.

For more information or to book a tour of Living Gems Pacific Paradise, call 1800 954 162 or visit livinggems.com.au.

IRT’s executive general manager, home care Gy Wallace says the expo supports seniors with important information as they near retirement.

“We want to help make this easier by providing information needed to navigate the aged-care system and access to advice from experts,” Mr Wallace says.

“Topics covered include aged-care assessments, wills, powers of attorney, appointments of enduring guardianship, financial planning and care options.”

The Aged Care Planning Expo is on March 26 from 10.30am to 12.30pm at the Best Western Plus Lake Kawana Hotel.

Entry is free, but bookings are essential.

Call 134 478 to book.

LIVE THE RESORT LIFE ALL YEAR ROUND

T

he idea of living a resort lifestyle all year round seems to have caught on for retired Australians. Whether home or away, retirees are seeking that relaxed holiday feeling every day.

In fact, the over-55 age group spends more nights away from home caravanning than any other age group, staying a whopping 22.8 million nights away in 2018.

Caravans, campervans and RVs have

long been a popular way for retirees to see more of Australia, and caravan parks around the country have been evolving to offer more resort-style facilities for discerning travellers.

At Nature’s Edge Buderim, the RV traveller can have the best of both worlds, living in a new home in a gated community with awesome leisure facilities with the ability to store the RV in a secure lock-up garage when not travelling.

The spacious, architecturally designed RV homes feature extra-large garages, perfect for caravans, motorhomes and RVs, making it easy to pack up and leave when it’s time to hit the road.

With a tranquil rainforest setting, vibrant social scene and an award-winning $4 million Leisure Centre precinct, Nature’s Edge Buderim offers an affordable lifestyle.

At Nature’s Edge you get a home for me, and one for the RV.

A limited number of RV lifestyle homes are ready to secure now. Call a lifestyle adviser on 1800 218 898 or visit naturesedgebuderim.com.au.

LENDLEASE RESIDENT IS AS BUSY AS SHE’S EVER BEEN Retiree Jean Baker has a packed social calendar between spending time with friends in and outside of the village, and teaching seniors tap dancing. Here, she shares how her world has evolved since she moved into a Lendlease community.

“Before I moved into the community, I already had a lot of wonderful friends here.

When my home was being built, I practically came to the village every day to watch the construction and joined in just about everything that was going on in the clubhouse.

“Funnily enough, since I moved in, that’s changed – I’m a very active 70-year-old so I’m not often here. I came here for security, for the friendship, the usual things, but I have my own part-time business teaching seniors tap dancing.

“The thing I love about the village is that you can carry on with your life as normal and it doesn’t restrict your lifestyle.

“I’ve always been involved with matureaged dancers – I used to choreograph for another seniors group. Now I just do my tap classes for exercise, social, fun and fitness.

“I have about 35 registered students aged from 45 to 79, and it’s great. I call my dancers The Young at Heart Tappers.

“I’ve found as you get older, you value people and friendships a lot more. When you come into a place like a village, you’re

Jean Baker’s social life has boomed since moving into a Lendlease community never going to be alone. If you want company, you sit outside. If you don’t you go in and shut the door.

“Nobody interferes but you always know there’s someone next door or across the road. I don’t worry like I used to worry now I have that added security.

“It’s said that 70 is the new 50 and I have to say I’m loving life and all the freedom and choices I have.”

PROPERTY

HOW TO GET THE BEST PRICE FOR YOUR PROPERTY The Sunshine Coast’s top real estate agents swear by the power of a full marketing campaign, saying print is still where it’s at.

T

here has been a slight shift in the micro-markets present across the Sunshine Coast, with experienced real estate experts reporting that properties that are well-priced and wellpresented are being snapped up in the first week or two of being listed.

But with less compulsion for buyers to act now for fear of missing out, unless properties are also well-marketed, they may fall into the current reported expectations of spending between six to 12 weeks on the market.

The exception to the rule is auctions, with many agencies who have the correct formula to get your property in front of as many eyes as possible continuing to see clearance rates 90 per cent and above.

My Property Preview reporter Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane has spoken with several high-profile agents from across the region to see what sellers can do to continue to attract the highest possible price for their property.

McGrath Estate Agents Mooloolaba agent Geoff Ohmsen says while there has been slightly less foot traffic through his open homes recently, he is attracting a higher percentage of people who are ready to buy.

“The quality of the people looking through homes has been first-class. Towards the end of 2018, I would average 10 groups to an open home and about two were qualified and ready to buy, the rest were neighbours or sticky-beaks,” he says.

“Now although open home numbers are down a little bit, the three or four groups that come through have sold their home and they are ready to buy. They are qualified and have researched the market.

“I had a property in Maroochydore with 10 groups in total through in three weeks of marketing and three turned up at auction as registered bidders with all placing bids.”

Mr Ohmsen boasted a 100 per cent under the hammer success rate in 2018 and says although this year it has dropped to 89 per cent, properties are usually sold not long after the auction.

He says his success boils down to a holistic marketing strategy, which casts the net wide to attract potential buyers through print, online, signage and his own database.

“A buyer might see a property listed online, but when they see it advertised in print, knowing that it has gone out across the Coast, it is a pretty effective call to action for a lot of buyers,” he says.

“When they see it in the magazine and it’s open for inspection, they are compelled to act and might even put in an offer earlier because as all these other people see it, it drives competition.”

Mr Ohmsen says the looming election means a lot of investors are choosing to “offload” one or more of their investment properties, which is slowly adding to the options listed on the market, but there is still high demand for Coast properties, so prices will be largely unaffected.

North Shore Realty principal Keith Blanchard says while properties may be taking a little longer to sell, the upside is that both buyers and sellers have the space for “considered purchasing.”

This means, the seller can take time to consider the best sale price for their home if listing for private treaty and buyers are not in

a position where they are under pressure to make an offer immediately.

“We are in what we would call a ‘normal market’ where its taking us six to 12 weeks to sell properties, but we are still achieving fair prices and buyers are not having panic purchases,” Mr Blanchard says.

“We still have a shortage of things to sell and any slowdown due to the forthcoming election is fairly traditional, but it doesn’t change the fact that we still have a very good economy and are in the 31st month in a row of no interest rate rises. Property is more affordable than it’s ever been and we have the big ticket infrastructure items that will continue to attract people to buy property in the region.”

North Shore Realty has continued with in-room auctions as Mr Blanchard says they experience “close to” 90 per cent success rates with sellers that participate.

“We promise to find a buyer for them and we advertise it in My Property Preview because we know that it hits the ground with 60,000 copies going to homes and stands so everyone gets to see what we have for sale – we don’t have to rely on people looking on the internet, which is where people have to make an active decision.

“Time and time again, I go into people’s

Craig Porter of Next Property Group says the high-end market from Currimundi up to Maroochydore and out to Tanawha has changed slightly every month since December and although properties are “sitting there longer”, there is no shortage of offers being placed in the background.

“I have recently had seven offers on seven properties and when the offers are within seven to eight per cent of the seller’s asking price, you would get that together as a sale, but at the moment with a lot of buyers from “Melbourne and Sydney looking on the Coast, they have lost 10 per cent of their values and they are thinking the same thing is happening up here and are therefore offering 10 per cent less on properties around the $2 million mark,” he says.

“There has been a slight five per cent softening at the top end, but the only problem we will ever have is if buyers stop buying, so it is still looking very positive on the Coast.”

Mr Porter says while other agents may have been dialing it back over the New Year period, active marketing campaigns saw him speak to 85 potential buyers for six homes on a single day in January.

“Not only does it get more people through homes, which increases competition and in turn, the final sale price, but it has led to more listings as people see the power of advertising in print,” he says.

“I have a listing at the moment which came about when the owner saw a doublepage spread that was created for another property. This property had been on the market for six months with two separate agents attracting just two groups in that time.

I have had 21 groups through in three weeks by using a full marketing campaign.”

“A buyer might see a property listed online, but when they see it advertised in print, knowing that it has gone out across the Coast, it is a pretty effective call to action.”

“We promise to find a buyer for them an we advertise it in My Property Preview because we know that it hits the ground with 60,000 copies going to homes and stands…”

“Not only does it get more people through the homes, which increases competition and in turn, the final sale price, but it has led to more listings…”

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

Well I hope you got stuck into some of the great waves we had recently (thanks Cyclone Oma) as it’s not looking too sweet for the weekend.

Southerly winds are set to increase around Saturday and the swell is not big enough for the protected points to work.

But hey… at least the footy is back on, if that’s a consolation.
