FROM THE EDITOR

A

t the start of each working week, as we put the newest edition of the magazine to bed, I take a few minutes to reflect on the content. Sure, I know what is featured on each page – the stories, imagery, headlines and design elements. A lot of planning and time goes into those pages. But this reflection is different. It’s my time to hit the pause button and mindfully read the stories and think further about the people who are attached to those words. Some weeks, with particularly heartbreaking stories, I fight back tears.

Other times I laugh out loud. But at the end of the day there is always something that I take away from that time – pure joy or a lesson learned.

This week, the story of Kawana mother Leanne Weyer is what I will carry with me. Leanne, you are amazing. The 47-year-old victim of melanoma is creating memory boxes for her children and husband to cherish after she is gone. She shows such strength in a time of sadness.

I have seen what metastatic melanoma does to a person. It is devastating, which is why we need to come together as a community to raise awareness, education and funds to overcome this horrific disease. Almost 500 cases are diagnosed on the Sunshine Coast each year alone. So do yourself, and your family, a favour and book in for a skin check.

Teach your kids the age-old message, ‘slip, slop, slap’.

They’ll thank you for it later in life.

Until next week, take care.

Favourite song and why? Dancing Queen by ABBA. It reminds me of my teens, my twenties and lots of fun conference events.

venue that has multiple large rooms. It is starting to happen but we lose a lot of conference business at the moment because venues only have one large room.

Best days in your life and why? The two days that my sons were born – they are my greatest achievement and I would be lost without them.

Can you nominate a day in your life that turned out to be a turning point and why? The day I was named the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network Outstanding Business Woman of the Year in 2004.

Best advice you’ve been given? If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again.

If you won $1 million, how would you spend it? Travel, travel and more travel!

What is your favourite place on the Sunshine Coast and why? So many but eating at Rice Boi is a big favourite at the moment! And I love the walk between the Alex Surf Club and the Mooloolaba Spit.

COVER STORY

GOOD TIMES WITH THE GLOBETROTTERS Grab your red, white and blue headband and start whistling Sweet Georgia Brown, because the Harlem Globetrotters are coming to town. My Weekly Preview explores the history of the world’s most loved sporting team and speaks to two of its players. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

“You have the opportunity to change lives, travel the world, and leave a positive impact on society” Brawley ‘Cheese’ Chisholm

Brawley ‘Cheese’ Chisholm and Kris ‘Hi-Lite’ Bruton entertaining fans

G

rowing up in the 1970s and ’80s, every kid knew and loved the Harlem Globetrotters. They were the epitome of cool. Who could forget their crazy on-court antics and wicked ball skills, the way they danced around the court to the whistled theme song, Sweet Georgia Brown, and brought big smiles to faces far and wide?

Founded in 1926, the Harlem Globetrotters have been rocking the red, white and blue for 93 years. Not just global ambassadors for basketball, they are global ambassadors for goodwill. When they’re not entertaining families at their famously fun basketball games, they’re doing community work, visiting schools, hospitals and community centres.

The Harlem Globetrotters weren’t actually founded in New York’s Harlem, but in Chicago, Illinois. They played their first game in Hinckley, Illinois in January 1927 and went on to win their first World Basketball Championship in 1940.

They stunned the world in 1948 and 1949 when they defeated world champions, the Minneapolis Lakers. The Lakers were members of the Basketball Association of America, which was the forerunner of the National Basketball Association (NBA). As a black team, the Globetrotters were not

12 My Weekly Preview | March 29, 2019

12.indd 1

allowed into the league, or any professional league. Basketball was segregated and many sports fans, coaches and team owners did not want to see teams integrated.

When the Globetrotters beat the Lakers in an exhibition match in 1948 and again a year later, it challenged the prevailing racial stereotypes about the abilities of black athletes. The Globetrotters had immense influence, showing the world AfricanAmericans could excel on a professional level. The victories over the Lakers accelerated the integration of the NBA, as Globetrotter Nathaniel ‘Sweetwater’ Clifton became the first African-American player to sign an NBA contract, joining the New York Knicks in 1950.

When the Globetrotters competed against the Lakers they were on a 102-game winning streak. They were virtually unbeatable and began to clown around to make the games more interesting, kicking off what would later become the trademark entertaining style of play we still see today.

Since those early games, which changed the course of sporting history, the Globetrotters have entertained more than 148 million fans in 123 countries, popularising the slam dunk, fast brake, the forward and point guard positions and the figure-eight weave.

Today, the Globetrotters are an exhibition team travelling the world spreading fun, fitness and joy to millions of fans. On April 12, they’ll play at the University of the Sunshine Coast stadium on their first visit here. My Weekly Preview spoke to Kris ‘Hi-Lite’ Bruton and Brawley ‘Cheese’ Chisholm about what we can expect.

How long have you been playing with the Harlem Globetrotters?

KB: 18 years.

BC: I have been playing for the Harlem Globetrotters for nine years.

Are you married with a family and if so, what do your kids think of your career?

KB: I’m happily married and my kids think that I’m the coolest dad on the planet.

BC: I am not married and I do not have children, yet. My friends and family continue to follow my basketball career and I know without a shadow of a doubt they are beyond proud of me. Some players do have wives and children and I’m pretty sure they are proud of them too.

What does the team mean to you?

KB: I’m spreading joy, laughter and memories that are enjoyable to families.

BC: This team means a lot to me. The fact that I can be a part of an organisation that has been around for 93 years is monumental. I feel it’s my duty to carry on the legacy.

Did you know about the team as a child and if so, what were your thoughts?

KB: I remember watching Meadowlark Lemon and Curly Neal as a child and I always wanted to be a part of the Harlem Globetrotters and be able to make people laugh and cheer like they did.

BC: I knew about the Harlem Globetrotters when I was a young child growing up in New York City. I would watch them all the time on Scooby-Doo, and see them showcase their skills on television programs.

Do you have a favourite Globetrotter from history and why were they your favourite?

KB: My favourite Globetrotters are Jimmy Blacklock and Lou Dunbar. Those guys were and are geniuses on and off the court. They know how to entertain and help people to enjoy themselves and they have passed this knowledge down to so many other Globetrotters after them.

BC: My favourite Harlem Globetrotter of all time is no one other than Fred ‘Curly’ Neal. myweeklypreview.com.au

25/03/2019 1:52:19 PM

COVER STORY Curly Neal can brighten up any room and never turns down an autograph. He is just a great person, and a terrific basketball player.

DID YOU

What’s something most people don’t know about the Harlem Globetrotters?

KNOW

KB: I don’t really know the answer to that question because the Globetrotters have been around for 93 years and we have played in 123 countries and territories.

Maybe it could be that we created the four-point shot or that we have numerous world records or that we have beat an NBA championship team before or that some of the Globetrotters have played in the NBA and some NBA players have played with the Globetrotters.

BC: Something that most people don’t know about Harlem Globetrotters is that most of us are multi-talented. A lot of us have our degrees from universities. Some of my current teammates are graphic designers, real estate agents, basketball instructors, etc.

Are you having as much fun as it looks to the audience when you play?

KB: Of course we are having fun. An individual can’t fake what we do every night.

You have to love making people happy.

BC: When the audience watch a Harlem Globetrotters game it looks like we are having a lot of fun, and we actually are! The majority of us have been playing basketball our entire lives. So those two hours between the lines playing a game that we love, and being blessed to get paid for it, it doesn’t get more fun than that.

What does a week in the life of a Harlem Globetrotter look like?

KB: Simple. We play in a different city every day. Jump on the bus and repeat the process until we have delivered smiles to all the fans that are in our reach.

BC: A week in the life of the Harlem Globetrotters looks like a lot of travelling.

Be ready to live out of your suitcase for some time, be ready to be away from family for some time, but with sacrifice there is always reward. You have the opportunity to

myweeklypreview.com.au

13.indd 1

change lives, travel the world, and leave a positive impact on society. In the nine years that I have been a Harlem Globetrotter, I have visited over 60 countries, been to every major city in the United States of America and left long-lasting impressions doing school assemblies, etc.

How difficult is it to master the tricks?

KB: Each trick has its own degree of difficulty. Some tricks are easy to master and some take months, even years, to finally get it just right.

BC: Tricks can be hard or they can be easy. It all comes down to how much practice you put in to work on it and how fast you learn. Some tricks are harder for others, and some aren’t. It’s up to you to figure it out.

How would describe the reception you receive when you travel the world?

Meadowlark Lemon

The Harlem Globetrotters did not play a game in Harlem until 1968 – 41 years after the team was founded in Chicago. They were orginally called Savoy Big Five after Chicago’s famous Savoy Ballroom, where they first played.

Their coach was 24-year-old Abe Saperstein. During their first game in January 1927, they wore jerseys emblazoned with the words ‘New York’, to give the impression they were from the Big Apple. Their name then changed to Saperstein’s New York Globetrotters, then the Harlem New York Globetrotters, then the Harlem Globetrotters.

Harlem was the centre of African-American culture, so they wanted to get the message across they were an all-black team who travelled the world.

KB: We are greeted with admiration and friendliness in each country and city that we visit because the fans know we are there to deliver smiles and joy!

BC: The Harlem Globetrotters are like the ultimate home team. No matter where we go – New York City, South Dakota, Los Angeles, New Mexico – people love us. I think it’s because when people think of the Harlem Globetrotters they think of family, fun, love and basketball. We get nothing but positive receptions, but there is nothing like playing overseas – Italy, France, Greece, Australia, Spain. Those fans have less entertainment than the US so their reception of us is amazing, like no other.

You are one of the world’s most recognisable sporting teams in the world. What message do you hope to give through your performances?

KB: We just want the families that attend our shows to understand that there are good human beings in this world and we’re coming to your city to prove it.

BC: We are the most recognised sporting team in the world. Our message and our mission will stay the same – to infuse the world with love.

Is this your first visit to Australia?

KB: I’ve never been to Australia before but my cousin Cal Bruton and his son live in Australia and they’ve played for the league there and I’ve heard some amazing stories. I can’t wait to get there!

BC: This will be my second time playing in Australia. The first time I came, it was unbelievable, mate! I am so excited to come back and play there again. The people were nice, food was great, the scenery was beautiful, and the fans were amazing.

What can the Sunshine Coast crowd expect from the game?

KB: I don’t want to spoil it for our fans but I will say this: be prepared to be amazed by some of the world’s greatest athletes. Also expect to laugh, laugh, laugh! It’s gonna be awesome!

BC: For those on the Sunshine Coast who have never watched a Globetrotters game, you can expect to see a basketball game like no other – high-flying dunks, flashy passes, trick shots from the stands, long-distance shooting from our four-point line, which is 30 feet from the basket.

Do you have any tips for up-and-coming basketballers in Australia?

KB: Practice every day and believe in yourself, even if no one else does. At the end of the day, you’re the one who is either improving or waiting for approval. Don’t wait for approval.

BC: Continue to follow your dreams!

Anything is possible as long as you work for it, every single day. There might be some pitfalls, bad times, but as long as you don’t give up, success will be waiting on other side. Shoot 500 jump shots a day, run two miles in the morning, do whatever it takes to get you to that next level. Just have fun!

BIOSPHERE NOMINATION BEING CONSIDERED The Sunshine Coast Council is considering a nomination for the region to receive UNESCO recognition as an international site of excellence known as a biosphere. The concept will be discussed at the council Ordinary Meeting on March 28 and if passed, the community will have a chance to have its say on a potential biosphere nomination. There are only nine biospheres in Australia and Mayor Mark Jamieson (pictured) says the credential will further enhance the national and international reputation of the Sunshine Coast. Mayor Jamieson says the council will consider the outcomes of the community consultation responses. “We will be especially keen to hear from residents, along with leaders of the tourism, forestry, agricultural, construction and property development sectors as part of the community consultation process,” he says. “If approved, the nomination will be lodged with the Queensland Government before the end of this year, followed by the Australian Government and then UNESCO. We’ll find out if we’re successful in June 2021. It’s a long process, but it’s worth it.” To comment on the proposed biosphere nomination for the Sunshine Coast local government area, visit haveyoursay.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au from March 29.

LOCAL CONCRETERS BAND TOGETHER TO HELP The House The Coast Built has reached its first milestone, after three Sunshine Coast concreters banded together to pour the slab for the large six-bedroom home in Birtinya. The crews join more than 30 other local businesses donating their time and materials to help Wishlist and Ausmar Homes build affordable family accommodation close to the hospital. Coastcon Concreting and Excel Concrete joined Lizard Concrete Pumping and crew for the slab-pour last Friday – each business answering the call from Ausmar Homes to help build a home for families with criticallyill loved ones at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

COAST TELSTRA BUSINESS AWARD WINNERS Around 8500 Queenslanders were nominated across five categories for the 2019 Telstra Business Women’s Awards. These were narrowed down to just 28 finalists and the Sunshine Coast laid claim to two winners.

Assistant Commissioner to the Australian Federal Police, Debbie Platz won the Public Sector & Academia Award. Angela Mansey (pictured with husband Luke) of Kuluin Mufflers won the Small Business Award. Ms Mansey followed her dreams, selling the family home and assets to build her exhaust specialist business, which is not only known for its high-end workmanship, but for its contribution to the local community.

ADVER TISEMENT

IMMEDIATE CHANGE TO MY HEARING As an avid lover of Opera Fay Nixon put off doing anything about her hearing loss for years as she feared hearing aids would change the quality and pitch of what she heard. For years she had been constantly asking those around her to repeat themselves and found herself not wanting to go out as much as she felt like a fool and thought others were talking too fast. Fay became quite angry and isolated with years of hiding behind her sister and relying on her to do the listening for her.

All of that changed when a friend referred her to Michael at Expert Audiology Rehab Solutions.

Faye thought she may have had a slight hearing loss in her left ear but as it turned out her right ear was far worse.

Recalling the moment Michael fitted her for hearing aids and says she couldn’t believe the difference – ‘it was instantaneous’, and her husband saw an instant change as well (and was quite happy to stop having to repeat himself).

Through her ‘little microphones in the ears’ she now is now loving the opera more than ever and is out in front of her sister leading the discussion.

I wouldn’t say I go out any more than I once did, but I definitely enjoy it more and

SAVE OUR SKIN Sunshine Coast locals affected by melanoma are on the march to educate the community about the deadly disease. WORDS: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane.

L don’t dread it like I used to. My hearing aids have helped me hear children and higher pitch sounds whereas before that was almost impossible.

It really was so simple and Michael knew exactly what I needed after running all of his tests.

eanne Weyer never imagined that a small mole on her shoulder would lead to her writing cards and creating memory boxes for her two children and husband Peter to cherish after she is gone.

The 47-year-old Kawana resident was diagnosed with stage-three melanoma in 2015 after the mole was removed with a large excision made to also remove cancer lurking beneath the surface.

It was merely months later that the cancer was found to have spread to her lymph nodes, with 13 lymph nodes found to contain melanoma, along with two large tumours.

All of these were removed.

“After the operation… it was extremely painful, like ants running under your skin and I couldn’t raise my arms above my head – this is my new normal,” Ms Weyer says.

She was told it wasn’t a matter of if, but when the cancer would come back and in November 2017 she was told it had returned and she had 12 to 18 months to live.

Cancer had spread to Ms Weyer’s pancreas and there was a shadow on her

“When we got the news that it was terminal, we were all just so devastated,” she says. “My new motto is ‘making memories’. Since the diagnosis, we do a lot more together. Family time isn’t taken for granted.”

Ms Weyer has purchased gifts and written cards for every important occasion for her family’s future and is putting them into special boxes for her loved ones.

Her story is shocking, but one that is all too common in Queensland, which has the highest rate of melanoma in the world.

A tiny spot on our skin can be hiding a deadly secret beneath and melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer of all types.

Coast entrepreneur Raphael McGowan, founder of sunscreen applicator bakslap, is determined to see the number of people affected by the deadly cancer reduce over time.

Did you know there are 569 kilometres of signed trails across the region and the Sunshine Coast Council maintain 146 kilometres of these?

It is now easier than ever before to plan your next Sunshine Coast adventure with the launch of a new online guide to our great outdoors.

Called Adventure Sunshine Coast, the Australian-first website showcases more than 150 free self-guided walking, cycling,

mountain biking, horse riding and canoeing activities for people of all abilities – whether you’re a first-timer or experienced adventurer.

Community and Environment portfolio councillor Jenny McKay says Adventure Sunshine Coast is the first trail-finding website of its kind in Australia.

“It’s unique because you can search all outdoor recreation activities on one website – whether it’s a walk, ride or paddle adventure,” she says.

“Simply choose your activity and select the difficulty level to view all your local trails on a map, then browse the descriptions, photos and reviews to take your pick of the land and water trails on offer.

“With Adventure Sunshine Coast, there really is a new adventure around every corner,” Cr McKay adds. “Many people may not even know how many trails are right on their doorstep.”

To celebrate the launch of the platform, which is provided and maintained by the council and Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, the council will host a series of free guided tours from April 8 to 14.

Bookings are essential and spaces are limited for these exciting free family-friendly events.

“Since the diagnosis, we do a lot more together.

Family time isn’t taken for granted” Leanne Weyer

bringing the Melanoma March to the Sunshine Coast for the first time, with the inaugural event kicking off on March 31.

Mr McGowan lost his sister Tess to melanoma at the age of 31 in 2012, just months after she had her first child. Since then has worked tirelessly to create bakslap to help with sun protection and has raised more than $80,000 for cancer research.

“I don’t want any families to go through what Leanne’s is and mine did,” he says.

“Last year over 7000 people from every state and territory took part in a Melanoma March, so we’re excited to bring the event to

our region for the first time to inspire others, remember loved ones and get behind the cause locally.”

Ms Weyer, her husband Peter and children Emily, 21, and Joseph, 18, will participate in the event with a crew of more than 50 wearing ‘Melanoma Mumma’ T-shirts.

Mr McGowan participated in his first Melanoma March is 2012 in Sydney and has marched each year until he came back to the Sunshine Coast in 2017.

“It’s at events like this that strangers become friends and it means a hell of a lot to people when they know they have the

support of the local community,” he says.

“Personally, I have seen sun safety awareness improve over the last few years, but we certainly require constant education and innovative ways to reach the 20- to 39-year-olds who are most at risk.

“I have been getting messages from people who have been prompted to get their first skin check and have even had to have early-stage melanoma removed. Hearing stories like this really brings me back to the core purpose of bakslap and gives me a lot of satisfaction that we are preventing others from experiencing the pain and loss our family went through.”

MIA CEO Matthew Browne says more than 14,000 Australians are diagnosed with melanoma and one person dies every five hours from the disease.

“We are working towards melanoma becoming a chronic disease instead of a terminal illness, but until we achieve our mission of zero deaths from melanoma, we still have a lot of work to do,” he says.

“We owe that to those who have lost their lives to melanoma, and their families and friends whose lives have been forever changed.

“Melanoma March is an opportunity to raise vital funds to change the treatment landscape of melanoma, not just in Australia but across the globe.”

The Melanoma March is open to

people of all ages and abilities and will see participants walk from the Alex Surf Club to Mooloolaba and back again on March 31.

The event opens at 2.30pm with live entertainment, activities, stalls and raffle prizes before the march sets off at 4pm.

It’s not too late to get a team together and encourage friends and family to donate to support life-saving research.

For more information, to register to walk, or sponsor someone who is walking, visit melanomamarch.org.au.

MELANOMA FAST FACTS • The rate of melanoma doubled in the 20 years between 1986 and 2006 and is still on the rise.

PROFILE

MAKING A SCENE

The Sunshine Coast art scene, and the region’s many artists, owe a lot to Tony Gill and Jane Caraffi, enthusiastic art lovers and the owners of Maleny gallery Art on Cairncross. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

T

he Sunshine Coast is known not only for its beautiful beaches and stunning hinterland, but also its thriving art scene. That’s largely thanks to Jane Caraffi and Tony Gill, who have been key players in promoting Sunshine Coast artists for the past 24 years.

In acknowledgement of their contribution, they won the creative award at this year’s Sunshine Coast Australia Day awards.

The Montville couple is best known for their gallery, Art on Cairncross at Maleny, a stalwart on the art scene for the past 17 years. But they’re also behind the now-coveted Sunshine Coast Art Prize and the popular Art Gallery Trail, which began in printed form and is now a website directing art lovers to private and public galleries, artist’s studios and exhibitions.

Mr Gill and Ms Caraffi found art before they found each other at a tourism event in Montville in the 1990s. Mr Gill had left hospitality to run an art gallery in Montville and Ms Gill, a nurse, was pursuing photography. They hit it off and opened Art on Cairncross soon after, a much-loved gallery that has been introducing the world to Sunshine Coast artists now for 17 years.

“The funny thing is, because we both came from other backgrounds, we’re always being asked, where did you do your degree?” Ms Caraffi says. “Neither of us has. We often joke and say nobody would employ us now, what else could we do? But I wouldn’t actually want to do anything else.”

Ms Caraffi grew up in London surrounded by art, her passion being stoked from a young age.

“My father was a mad keen hobby artist,” she says. “We lived in Wimbledon and I got exposed to the most incredible selection of art in central London. As children, we quite often got to go to his club and help hang exhibitions.”

She recalls the first painting that had an impact on her.

“I remember the first time I saw a work of Turner’s, being a little bit perplexed and realising the longer you looked, the more you saw. One of the reasons we love having children in the gallery is they will tell you things you won’t have seen yourself. Particularly in that age bracket of about nine, they

Jane Caraffi and Tony Gill with the painting Through the Gums, Condamine River by Tom McAulay are very honest. They’re not worried about saying the wrong thing. They’ll just tell you what they think, which can be funny.

“One of the things missing in education is teaching children what’s outside the front door – the beauty around them. Once they can see the beauty that’s in art, then they can see life in a different perspective. It can’t all be about a screen. It’s about appreciating and if you can’t appreciate, you don’t have respect for things.”

Ms Caraffi and Mr Gill feel privileged to do the work they do and have nurtured strong relationships with many artists over the years, seeing artists through family tragedies and illnesses.

“One of the really big strengths for us is that we have had

a very loyal stable of artists,” she says. “A lot of our artists have been with us since the very early days. We realised very early on they are the people with the expertise about the art.

“We’ve learnt so much from our artists and continue to. It doesn’t stop, like anything in life. If you stop learning, you really stop.

“Tony’s been really involved with the tourism boards all the way along, not just in the hinterland but also in Caloundra and with Visit Sunshine Coast in all its various incarnations. Things like seeing the need for a really good art prize. He was instrumental in getting the Sunshine Coast Art Prize going. I was there when the first conversation happened. The then-mayor Don Aldous was at a school art exhibition and he said we need more things like this around the Coast. Tony said, ‘absolutely, we need a proper art prize’.”

Mr Gill also saw the need for the establishment of an art trail early on. “There’s always been a very vibrant art scene on the Sunshine Coast, particularly up in the hinterland since the ’60s and ’70s,” Ms Caraffi says.

“There’s an incredibly strong base of visual artists in this region, on top of the writers and performers. One of the things about visual art is it’s often been portrayed as a slightly elitist field in history. We are breaking down those barriers and promoting this idea that it’s for everybody. There’s still a long way to go, but it has been changing.

“It has been improving on the Coast but there’s still an enormous need to keep promoting the idea we do have some incredibly special people here and we do have a very strong professional art scene, and people are coming here for that.

“We have some fabulous beaches but we’re the only place in the world with the Glass House Mountains and we’re the only place that has access to the two with no distance at all between them. Then you add in the vibrance of the art and everything else that is going on. There’s an awful lot that people still need to learn about the region.”

MY OPINION

PROUD OF OUR SCARS

AUTISM ISN’T JUST ABOUT KIDS

Sami Muirhead says the Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge turns 40 this year and to ensure it continues its great work, it needs your help.

Dominique Flanigan shares her personal story ahead of Autism Awareness Week, which will be recognised from April 1 to 7.

A

pregnant female Rottweiler was found recently in bushland on the Coast. The lost and scared mum-to-be had been dumped after probably being forced to be a breeding dog for most of her life. The gentle giant was taken to SCARS (Sippy Creek Animal Refuge Society) where she delivered a staggering 12 pups. Not all of them made it, but over half did and they will soon need forever homes.

The volunteer who helped bring the mother Rotty back to health has fallen in love and has decided to keep her.

In a world of sick stories about animal cruelty, there is a birthday celebration this year. SCARS is celebrating turning 40 years old. The animal and cat refuge has housed 40,000 moggies and mutts over those four decades. They have also saved a few donkeys, snakes, chickens and goats along the way. Over 30,000 of the animals saved have been rescued from the pound and they would not have had a second chance at life otherwise.

Penny Brischke has been with SCARS for 13 years: “We take in young and old animals,” Penny says. “If they are sick we provide them with all of the necessary vet care. We adopt them out as permanent fosters if their condition is ongoing and we pay for their vet care for the rest of their lives.

We have over 40 cats and dogs in permanent foster care at the moment. We spend over $250,000 in vet care each year. Vet care is considered part of our standard practice and

all of our animals are vet checked, microchipped, treated and whatever else it takes before being adopted.”

SCARS holds between 80 to 100 cats and dogs in the Tanawha shelter and also has a smaller foster care program. One dog was even flown from Sydney way back in 1999 with a sign on his cage saying: “Please take me to SCARS.” That dog was taken to the refuge and found a home.

Felicty Hassan has been a volunteer at the refuge for 13 years: “I have five cats and I do adore cats and I went to the refuge because they do not euthanise animals,” says Felicity.

“I have fostered 280 cats and to watch them grow and thrive and to see them get adopted, well, that is the best feeling. It is very hard to let them go and I am a failed foster mum, which means some cats stay with me forever,” she laughs.

SCARS often ends up with unwanted animals after people leave rental homes. The grubs simply leave the poor animal behind as if they are rubbish. In other cases, the dogs or cats are left without a parent if their elderly owner passes away.

So thank goodness for our angels at SCARS. The Coast loves this non-profit organisation and I am proud to be an ambassador. It does not have a lot of money.

Can I please encourage you to share their posts on social media; to volunteer if you are able to; and most importantly: adopt and don’t shop when it comes to cats and dogs.

H

ello, I’m Dominique. I’m a single 45-year-old female. I’m a little overweight, but fit, and way over-educated. Seriously. I have three university degrees. I’m also autistic.

My diagnosis only came three years ago.

To be honest, if I hadn’t been referred to a psychologist for bipolar assessment, I would probably still think that I’m just crazy.

If you think autism is simply something that kids have, think again. Autism is a lifelong disability and there is no age limit on when you can be diagnosed. Secondly, you don’t ‘get’ autism – it’s a neurological disability you are born with, will live with for your entire life, and die with. There’s no cure.

Being autistic doesn’t totally suck. I’m a low-maintenance friend and girlfriend since I don’t require constant communication. I can be showered, dressed and out the door in five minutes. Impressive huh?

It’s also really easy to plan a dinner. Just take me to one of the restaurants I can cope eating at and I’ll be happy. As an employee, I will always be on time and have my work completed by the deadline. I’m also going to be dead happy if I’m tasked with scanning six months of server logs looking for one type of error (seriously to me that is fun!).

But autism has some serious downsides.

The biggest is sensory overload, which my family and I cope with on a daily basis. Some days I come home so overwhelmed that I don’t process the fact they are there. I just go to bed turning off all lights and shutting out

all noise. Or worse, my family accidentally trigger a full verbal explosion before I dissolve into tears.

What is sensory overload? Imagine waking up with the worst hangover of your life. Light is eyeball-exploding painful, everything is so loud it’s hard to hear, and your sense of smell is so acute you can smell the contents of the bin across the road. You still have to get up, go to work, cope with ringing phones and people talking.

As the day progresses, the pain, lack of concentration and anxiety worsens.

“If you think autism is simply something that kids have, think again” You try hard to seem ‘normal’. Going home doesn’t end the hell because you have to deal with family. Autistic people deal with sensory overload every day.

The adult world is far less accepting of people with invisible disabilities and not enough is being done to prepare autistic teens to cope with being independent autistic adults. So next time you do a fundraiser, talk, read or think about autism, remember it’s lifelong, gender neutral and we’re trying very hard to live in your world by your rules, which to us is just confusing.

IMAGE: FRAN CATFORD

The Australian Body Art Festival returns to add a bit of colour to Cooroy. WORDS: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane.

ooroy will be transformed into another world when the Australian Body Art Festival takes over Apex Park.

With every field of the highly anticipated competition filled with the nation’s most talented body artists, the festival on April 6 and 7 will provide a feast for the eyes as meticulously designed concepts are created on human canvases

across categories including airbrushing, brush and sponge, special effects, face painting and wearable art.

Among those showcasing their talents is Buderim resident Fran Catford. Ms Catford became a qualified professional stylist and makeup artist in her native Costa Rica before moving to the Sunshine Coast with her husband and three sons a few years ago.

It was while living on the Coast that she

began to spend time experimenting with fantasy makeup and pursue her passion for body art and special effects makeup.

“When living in Costa Rica I was so busy I could only follow my intrigue of fantasy makeup very occasionally,” she says.

“I was able to do Halloween makeup for my family for a couple of years and when I moved to Australia, I had some time to find out more about the business side of body artistry.”

“I have always been intrigued by lights and photography and black light body paint became my favourite style.”

After entering an online competition in 2017, Ms Catford was invited to enter the Australian Body Art Awards in Melbourne and although she didn’t win anything in her first attempt, she took home the People’s Choice Award at her first appearance in the Australia Body Art Festival in Cooroy later that year.

Last year, Ms Catford entered the special effects and brush and sponge categories (her 2018 work is pictured left) and has spent months planning her Other Worlds creation to meet this year’s theme in the airbrushing competition.

“The festival is amazing. It’s a great way for you to test yourself and your skills against other artists as well as get your work out there,” she says.

“People are starting to really appreciate body art and seeing it as a legitimate art form and as a result the festival is getting bigger every year. As an artist, it is an opportunity to really express yourself.”

TOP TIPS FOR DISABILITY SUPPORT PLANNING

Support Coordination starts here

The National Disability Insurance Scheme is ready to roll out on the Sunshine Coast, which means it’s time to get ready for the changes.

T

he National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has been rolled out nationally, with the Sunshine Coast one of the most recent regions in the country to receive the new funding model for disability support.

The NDIS provides all Australians under the age of 65 who have a permanent and

STEPS Social & Community has more than 30 years’ experience in the disability sector. From advice and planning to service provision, STEPS helps guide participants every step of the way to ensure they get the most out of their NDIS package.

There’s a lot of new NDIS information to navigate, so here STEPS shares its top tips for NDIS planning:

Request. If you already receive disability support services, the NDIA will contact you when it becomes available in your area. If you have yet to have any contact with the NDIA, call the office to ensure all your details are correct on their database.

CREATE – YOUR PLAN To get ready for the planning meeting, think about your immediate support needs and current and future goals. Your planner will ask questions about what supports or therapy you are receiving and your goals.

It is beneficial to be prepared for your planning meeting.

USE – CONNECT TO SERVICES Once your plan has been approved, it will be time to connect with services. There are several ways in which you can do this.

You may receive funding for support co-ordination or alternatively, your Local Area Co-ordinator may help implement your plan.

REVIEW YOUR PLAN The plan review is an opportunity to assess if your supports are working for you and if they are helping you work towards achieving your goals. The first NDIS plan review usually falls 12 months after your plan started. If your circumstances change during the year, you do have an opportunity to contact the NDIA. STEPS Social & Community is passionate about helping to create brighter futures. The STEPS team provides NDIS services to the Sunshine Coast, Gympie and Bundaberg regions.

MISSION POSSIBLE

MAKING SENSE OF THE NDIS

Thanks to her UnitingCare practitioner, Caroline is back doing what she loves.

“I

can do anything I hope to,” says Sharon, who was an accomplished show jumper and equestrian rider until a car accident at the age of 16 left her with a brain injury and physical disabilities.

Sharon didn’t think she would ever be able to ride again.

But now, decades later, she has the confidence to get back in the saddle – an achievement she says was made possible by her UnitingCare lead practitioner, Caroline.

“Three years ago, Sharon was very quiet and didn’t really speak out,” says Caroline. “We really wanted Sharon to find her courage and tell us what she wanted, so we talked about what her goals were. She told us it was horse riding.”

“I wanted to find the courage to get back on a horse again,” says Sharon.

While researching places for Sharon to ride and interact with her beloved horses, the pair continued with Sharon’s daily exercises to improve her leg strength. Soon enough, Sharon was back where she belonged.

“It was a real heart-melt moment to see her up there and the smile on her face was amazing,” says Caroline of seeing Sharon on horseback for the first time.

For Sharon, it was both a victory and an important turning point – one that has empowered her to redefine what she’s capable of. “To see how Sharon is flourishing now compared to prior is just amazing,” adds Caroline.

Some years ago, Caroline gave up her desk job to become a support worker. “I find it a lot more fulfilling,” she says, adding that the biggest perk of the job is encouraging people to believe in themselves. “Seeing Sharon find her voice and find the courage to try different things … to see her get back up on that horse with confidence: they are the things I’m most proud of.”

Caroline and Sharon’s relationship goes far beyond that of practitioner/client. “We’re a great team. We can bounce off each other, we can joke with each other, we can pick on each other.

I’m there to guide Sharon in the right direction, help her out in the community and make sure Sharon’s getting everything she needs, wants and deserves.”

What that doesn’t mean, though, is doing it for her. As Caroline explains, independence is key. “We stand back and let them push forward doing what they want to do.”

UnitingCare Queensland and Blue Care offer a full range of disability and NDIS supports. To find out more or to watch Sharon’s story go to unitingcareqld.com.au/possible.

If you or a member of your family is about to transition to the NDIS, you may find yourself wading through a sea of information and asking yourself, “where should I start?”.

Andrew Kiel (pictured) is the general manager and co-founder of plan management service Leap in! and says, “The NDIS funds reasonable and necessary supports to help you live an ordinary life and achieve your goals. During your planning meeting, your NDIS planner gathers information on what supports are reasonable and necessary for your situation.

“They will evaluate what is related to your disability and support needs, good value for money and likely to be beneficial to you,” he adds.

“Depending on an individual’s circumstances, funding could be allocated for support workers to help with personal care activities, therapeutic supports like behaviour support, aids and equipment, home modifications or mobility equipment.

“NDIS funding doesn’t cover general, everyday living expenses that people without disability would be required to pay, such as train travel, rent, groceries, mobile phone or movie tickets.”

Leap in! is a registered NDIS plan manager and charity.

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

You’ve got a tremendous amount on your plate at the moment, but avoid getting into super-stressed mode.

Mercury has been moving forwards for a few days now, which will help a close relationship or a joint venture that has been somewhat stalled.

Is a close relationship stuck in a rut?

This week, the new moon and Uranus encourage you to blast away the cobwebs and look at things from a fresh angle. Attached Librans – are you doing all the giving while your partner is doing all the taking?

This week (courtesy of the new moon), it’s a fabulous time to review your emotional wellbeing and physical fitness levels, introduce healthier food choices and reboot your exercise routine. Don’t have one? It’s the best week of the year to start!

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

Sagittarians have big ideas, but you can have trouble walking your talk.

This week, Saturn steadies your mercurial mind and helps you get things done, so it’s a wonderful week to power through all those mundane tasks you’ve been putting off.

Saturn is sauntering slowly through your sign, which isn’t easy (in fact, it can be a real pain in the neck). You’ll find hurdles are placed in your path, which will help you grow and mature.

Friday’s new moon encourages you to celebrate your strengths.

Are you ready for a grand adventure?

This week’s new moon sees curious Aquarians ricocheting off in diverse new directions – which is exactly how it should be as you explore and experiment. And don’t worry about making mistakes along the way.

The new moon lights up your cash zone, which signals a fresh financial chapter. The more proactive you are about money matters, the better your fiscal future will be. Mercury and Saturn also send an important message your way on the weekend.

COAST’S RENTAL MARKET TIGHTENS It’s a tight rental market on the Coast, so if you’re looking for a rental, you’ll need to put your best foot forward. WORDS: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane.

D

emand for Sunshine Coast property continues to exceed supply when it comes to those looking to secure their own piece of paradise and it appears that demand is also flowing into the rental market, with the REIQ’s December quarter vacancy rate report showing a further tightening of properties available to rent.

The report shows the Sunshine Coast SD (Sunshine Coast local government area and Noosa Shire combined) is now firmly classified a tight rental market, with the vacancy rate dropping from 2.4 per cent to 1.8 per cent.

REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella says these tightened conditions will “continue to exert upward pressure on prices and it is likely we will see some movement in rents if these conditions continue”.

Ms Mercorella says the cyclic slow-down of investor activity has arrived with the looming federal election and uncertainty around potential negative gearing adjustments and capital gains tax changes.

“The REIQ is hearing from agents that financing is causing contracts to fall over.

We’re seeing tightened lending restrictions slowing both investors and first-homebuyers from getting into the market,” she says.

With fewer investors buying on the Coast, there are fewer properties available for those who continue to move to the area for the idyllic lifestyle and increasing number of employment opportunities.

First National Mooloolaba principal Paul Angell says the pressure on vacancy rates has been building for some time.

“Our agency has zero vacant properties, but this is fairly typical, and in the last 30 days, we have had 112 tenancy enquiries,” he says.

“Houses under $500 a week are our most requested dwelling type and we are seeing mostly singles, who are often sharing, in the 20 to 40 age group.

“While there is a growing trend to invest in shares or property and to remain a tenant themselves, more often it is just a case of tenants not having enough deposit to make the initial purchase to have their own home.”

Mr Angell says those searching for a rental in the high-demand category could spend a month or more to find something suitable.

“While having a pet is a wonderful thing, it will reduce your options when looking for your next rental. Having a strong reference from your current landlord or agent is important and when applying, you should have all of your documents ready to go so that you can lodge a complete application,” he suggests.

Century 21 Grant Smith Property’s property manager Debbie O’Connor says their office is seeing a similar reflection of vacancy, and at times even a zero per cent vacancy rate.

“With strong regional growth and demand for housing on the Sunshine Coast there are more people moving into the region. This is often from new residents to the area choosing to rent for a period to familiarise themselves with the area prior to committing to a

purchase,” she says.

“The [level of] enquiry varies on each individual property. We find the lower weekly price point can attract even hundreds of enquiries, showing there is such a strong demand for affordable housing in the area.

“Over the past quarter we have seen that properties with pools, in particular family homes and the median rental priced properties around $450 per week, are attracting the most interest.”

For those considering investing, to maximise opportunity to have the dwelling tenanted, Ms O’Connor offers this advice: “Ensure you leave yourself with enough budget for maintenance on your investment and any additional outgoings that can be occurred, most importantly don’t step out of your comfort zone,” she says.

Platinum Properties director Cherie Hopkins says newly-signed properties are

usually the th only ones they have vacant as soon as tenants indicate they are because a out, they have no trouble filling ready to move m them with new ones.

“The Coast has always attracted Brisbane “Th commuters and more recently the FIFOs comm putting their families in homes here so are pu they can come home on their days off and relax,” she says.

“We would easily field enquiries from 200 looking for various types of properties people lo month. The most in demand is foureach mon bedroom, two-bathroom, double garage, bedroom room for a trampoline and a dog in the $400 to $500 per week range and they must be close to schools. Our biggest demographic are families with children.”

Ms Hopkins says government changes are making it harder for families to borrow sufficient money to buy a home and they are therefore in the rental pool. So now is the time to invest in property.

For those looking to secure a rental home, Ms Hopkins says while documentation is important, your attitude is often undervalued.

“From the inspection, we are looking for people who are respectful in the home they are looking through and have their children with them, not jumping on beds,” she says.

“People who have their application organised will always get their forms completed first, so it gets to the owner first. This could mean the difference between getting [the property] and not getting approved.”

BESAL FILLS GAP WITH LUXURY TOWNHOUSES

B

esal identified a gap in housing options available in the Caloundra property market and created a niche business presenting opportunities for buyers to own house-sized beachside homes.

Their luxury townhouses, Lighthouse View on Kings, are architecturally designed with stylish and elegant finishes.

This intimate development has gained industry recognition receiving the 2018 HIA Housing Award for Best Townhouse/ Villa Development in Queensland and was also a finalist in the 2018 UDIA Awards for Excellence for Premium Small Scale Developments.

Besal development director Beau Salter says he is honoured to receive the awards.

“It was our aim to create unique and luxurious homes, not just houses,’’ he says.

“We carefully considered lifestyle, accessibility, quality and maximising the ocean views, resulting in tasteful and functional homes.”

“There is nothing else on the market that compares to this intimate duplex of six modern townhouses, with options of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes. The size, quality and breathtaking views will capture you from the moment you enter.”

This innovative development is located

From page 38

on premium land directly below the iconic lighthouse. Within walking distance you can explore the beach, cafes, shops, schools and the Caloundra CBD. These homes offer a beachside lifestyle and are the perfect option for buyers looking to downsize, or even upsize from an apartment, and move in immediately.

Body corporate fees start at $2000 per year including insurance. The development boasts views spanning over Kings Beach, Shelly Point and Moreton Island. Organic materials such as timber, stone and concrete complement the white walls to create a light, open and connected beach style environment.

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

Well, well, well! Some things I cannot tell you, but I did check out an epic sandbank on the weekend after a few reports and yep, it is the best I have seen in years.

Some guys have been surfing it with only four in the water during the week.

So look and thou shall find. Or send me a cheeky carton and I will tell you where.

Waves around this weekend with variable winds.

Later peeps.
