MASKS A SYMBOL OF SOLIDARITY

AAP

AAP

With uncertainty around whether an effective coronavirus vaccine will ever be found, the World Health Organisation vigorously encourages the world to continue with mask-wearing, social distancing, hand-washing and testing, according to AAP.

T

he World Health Organisation (WHO) says there might never be a “silver bullet” for COVID-19 in the form of a perfect vaccine and that the road to normality will be long, with some countries requiring a reset of strategy.

More than 18.14 million people around the world are reported to have been infected with the disease and 688,080 have died, according to a Reuters tally, with some countries that thought they were over the worst experiencing a resurgence.

WHO director-general Tedros

Adhanom Ghebreyesus and WHO emergencies head Mike Ryan exhorted countries to rigorously enforce health measures such as mask-wearing, social distancing, hand-washing and testing.

“The message to people and governments is clear: ‘Do it all’,” Mr Tedros told a virtual news briefing from the UN body’s headquarters in Geneva.

He said face masks should become a symbol of solidarity around the world.

“A number of vaccines are now in phase three clinical trials and we all hope to have a number of effective vaccines that can help prevent people from infection. However, there’s no silver

“There’s no silver bullet at the moment – and there might never be…”

bullet at the moment – and there might never be.”

The WHO head said that, while the coronavirus was the biggest health emergency since the early 20th century, the international scramble for a vaccine was also “unprecedented”.

But he underscored uncertainties.

“There are concerns that we may not have a vaccine that may work, or its protection could be for just a few months, not more. But until we finish the clinical trials, we will not know.”

Mr Ryan said countries with high transmission rates, including Brazil and India, needed to brace for a big battle: “The way out is long and requires a sustained commitment,” he said, calling for a “reset” of approach in some places.

“Some countries are really going to have to take a step back now and really take a look at how they are addressing the pandemic within their national borders,” he added.

Asked about the US outbreak, which White House coronavirus experts say is entering a “new phase”, he said officials seemed to have set out the “right path” and it was not the WHO’s job to do so.

The WHO officials said an advance investigation team had concluded its China mission and laid out the groundwork for further efforts to identify the origins of the virus.

The study is one of the demands made by top donor the United States which plans to leave the body next year, accusing it of being too acquiescent to China.

A larger, WHO-led team of Chinese and international experts is planned next, including in the city of Wuhan, although the timing and composition of that was unclear.

Mr Ryan said China had already given some information but knowledge gaps remained.

FAST FACTS

Looking back.

Did you know?

Driving Days

Do you remember?

In 1908, the Ford Model T, created by the Ford Motor Company, began production and would become the first automobile to be mass-produced on a moving assembly line.

Gone are the days when Bulcock Street was a sandy dirt track in the seaside town. One of the first to own a car in Caloundra was butcher Charlie Eaton, who purchased a Hupmobile. Sugar Bag Road was the most used road into Caloundra along a well-used track to the lighthouse, where the post office was first situated. The Brisbane Traffic Act was introduced in 1905 and gazetted on April 6, 1906. It enforced an annual registration for motor vehicles (10 shillings) and motorcycles (five shillings). The first Queensland car drivers licence was introduced in 1910 but licences were not compulsory until 1922.

The creation of the Walkman was a pop culture moment and would weave itself into the 1980s. Before your smartphone, MP3 player, or CD player, the Sony Walkman was where you would put all your songs for the summer.

The product became synonymous with portable music devices after it first entered the market in 1979.

1714 – The Russian Navy wins the Battle of Gangut during the Great Northern War against Sweden.

1933 – The Iraqi Government slaughters more than 3000 Assyrians in the village of Sumail. The day becomes known as Assyrian Martyrs Day. 1936 – Jesse Owens wins the 200-metre race in world record time. It’s his third gold medal of the Berlin Olympics.

UNITYWATER LETS THE LOVE FLOW Unitywater has spent 10 years supporting the vulnerable and disadvantaged in our community.

U

nitywater has spent the past decade supporting community groups across the region and in its 10th year of operation, has launched a new program to continue supporting those most vulnerable.

Through the Unitywater Community Program, the utility collaborates with community groups to tackle important issues such as domestic and family violence prevention, support for disadvantaged and vulnerable children, mental health, homelessness and environmental issues.

Executive manager customer and community, Katherine Gee, says

Unitywater has helped many community groups over the past 10 years.

“We’re part of our communities and we’re committed to keeping them healthy, which goes beyond water and sewerage,” she says.

“Unitywater isn’t the expert when it comes to support services, so we help existing, experienced community organisations in the ways they need most.

“Maroochy Neighbourhood Centre is one of our partners and when they needed support to keep running their One Roof Project, we were ready to jump on board.

I’m really proud of our work in our communities and our new program is set

to help so many more in our region.”

Maroochy Neighbourhood Centre CEO Michael Henning says the One Roof Project provides meals and support services to vulnerable people all in one location.

“We have continued to offer this service at a reduced capacity during COVID-19, and we’re excited to start re-introducing more services back to the centre as Queensland Government restrictions continue to ease,” Mr Henning says. “The need for these services is greater than ever at these challenging times and we are certainly seeing an increase in demand.”

To officially launch the new community program, Unitywater and Maroochy Neighbourhood Centre hosted the Winter Hair and Care Night on August 7.

Community organisations worked in collaboration to deliver hot food, medical and support services, haircuts and essential items for people doing it tough this winter.

Unitywater’s community partners for this event included Sunny Street, OzHarvest, QuIHN, and Sodexo.

For more information on Unitywater’s community program, visit unitywater. com/community.

Buderim-Palmwoods Heritage Tramway (BPHTI) members were invited by Sunshine Coast Council to take part in its Cultural Heritage Discovery promotional video, which was being filmed recently.

There were two segments – one filmed at the Krauss loco and the other at a local walking track.

BPHTI members Doug Benckendorff, Bruce Horton and Noel Williams, as well as property owner Peter Wise, appeared in the loco shoot and a few more members joined in for the walking track segment.

The completed video will feature many other heritage attractions around the area.

FEATURE STORY

Sign on to save a life Right now, around 1700 Australians are waiting to receive a life-saving new organ.

My Weekly Preview speaks to those at the frontline of organ donation – including those who have given as well as received – as they urge others to sign on as organ donors. WORDS: Layne Whitburn.

W

ould you take a minute out of your day to save other people’s lives? That question hits home for the Sunshine Coast’s Dr Geoff Cutter, because the answer saved his life.

“When you say yes to becoming a registered organ and tissue donor, you could help save up to 10 lives,” Dr Cutter says.

Dr Cutter received a kidney transplant in October last year, following a 30-year-battle with type 2 diabetes.

“I am so grateful for my donor registering to be a donor, and his family saying yes. I was told he donated both his kidneys, so he has helped someone else in a similar position to me. It really is life saving, and life changing,” Dr Cutter says.

Saying ‘yes’ to being a donor is a life-changing thing, but actually registering is where the life saving occurs.

Approximately seven in 10 Queenslanders say they are willing to donate their organs and tissues when they die, however, only one in three are registered do so.

Right now, approximately 1700 Australians are wait-listed for a transplant. A further 12,000 are on dialysis, and many of these would benefit from a kidney transplant.

That’s why it’s so important to

take that final step and sign up on the Australian Organ Donor Register.

Sunshine Coast mother Mary Bourke went through the organ and tissue donor experience when her 18-year-old daughter Georgia died suddenly from a brain haemorrhage in 2014.

Mrs Bourke says despite the dreadful heartache of losing a child, knowing

husband Rod, 44-year-old sister-in-law Toni, and her daughter Georgia were all taken too soon.

It’s a devastating story, however, Mrs Bourke says, “In great sadness, can come great happiness.

“I received a heartfelt letter from a mother who was beyond thankful for her 30-year-old son to receive a

“Words cannot describe how grateful I am for this gift. That’s why I encourage everyone to register. All you need is 60 seconds and your Medicare card” Dr Geoff Cutter, donor recipient

Georgia helped save seven lives has helped her family get through the grieving process.

Georgia’s sister Mikayla agrees. “It was the one thing in a very horrible situation that made the healing process a lot easier,” she says.

The Bourke family is far too familiar with the grieving process – over the past two decades three family members have died due to brain haemorrhages.

heart transplant. I also heard from an older man who was forever grateful for the opportunity to watch his grandchildren grow.

“I remember at Georgia’s funeral, there was a massive DonateLife banner with Georgia’s photo on it, labelling her a hero. That made me so proud. I am so proud of Georgia.”

Mrs Bourke says after her sister-inlaw Toni passed in 2004, the Bourke family gathered around to have a

conversation about becoming organ and tissue donors.

She recalls Georgia saying at the time, “Take my organs, if someone else can have them – go for it.”

“Of course, you never expect it to happen, especially to a healthy, happy, young girl like Georgia,” Mrs Bourke says, recalling the day her daughter died.

Georgia was living Goondiwindi and was out playing touch footy. Her younger sister Mikayla, who was 13 at the time, was playing touch football on another field. Mikayla says she heard the hooter, and thought it was far too early for half time. She soon realised the sound was for a serious incident on her sister’s football field. Georgia had collapsed due to a brain haemorrhage.

Mrs Bourke recalls her daughter always having a smile on her face.

“Georgia was the type of kid everyone flocked to,” she says.

“Georgia accepted everyone of all ages, races and disabilities, and everyone loved her for it.

“Her passion for people and helping others shaped her career choice fresh out of high school to become a teacher aide. She spent her days helping disadvantaged kids learn how to read.

“When Georgia passed, we set up a reading program in Goondiwindi called myweeklypreview.com.au

FEATURE STORY Reading With Miss Georgia. We raised money for the school reading program and supplied books to help improve the literacy skills for disadvantaged kids.”

Of the organ donation, Mrs Bourke says, “I think it’s also important to remember the people on the receiving end of this process. While the shock of losing a loved one is so hard, there are people out there waiting for a lifechanging transplant.

“Their life has also been turned upside down, and many people are living a long, and unwelcomed journey in need of medical help to get their life back.”

On the receiving end, Dr Cutter spent a total of six years on dialysis. Two years pre-transplant, he underwent hemodialysis treatment. This went on for five hours per day, three days per week. Four years before this, he was on peritoneal dialysis, where he had to lug machines around with him.

“The journey leading up the to transplant was massive,” Dr Cutter says.

“I wouldn’t have gotten to the point of transplant if it wasn’t for the incredible team of dialysis nurses and everyone involved. It was a huge team effort to keep me going, and get me physically fit enough for the transplant. And even now, post-transplant, the team effort continues throughout recovery.”

Shona McDonald is one of the donation specialist nurse co-ordinators at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH).

Mrs McDonald says the most rewarding part of her job is working closely with families to honour their loved one’s final wish or help the family make that final decision.

“For many families, it’s the one positive thing that comes out of a tragic situation. To help make that happen is an absolute privilege,” she says.

“The biggest challenge is probably dealing with the emotion that this job can bring. It’s impossible not to feel deep

AT A GLANCE Around 1,700 Australians are currently wait-listed for a transplant. A further 12,000 are on dialysis, many of whom would benefit from a kidney transplant.

In 2019, 1683 lives were transformed by 548 deceased and 239 living organ donors and their families in Australia.

106 Queensland deceased organ donors saved the lives of 300 Australians in 2019.

There were also 36 living donations (kidney) in Queensland in 2019.

Families of 454 Queenslanders donated their eye tissue and 338 people donated other life-changing tissue.

At the end of May 2019, there were 85,671 Sunshine Coast residents registered.

In Australia, 90% of families say yes to donation when their loved one is a registered donor. This compares to the national consent rate of 62%.

If our national consent rate reaches 70%, Australia would be in the top 10 performing countries.

One in three Australians are registered donors despite the majority (69%) believing that registering is important.

Georgia Bourke empathy for the sense of loss donor families are experiencing. The job can be physically and emotionally stressful when you are on call for long periods organising an organ donation and being away from your family too.”

Despite the level of emotions for everyone involved, Dr Cutter is living proof that the process is life saving.

Nine months post-transplant, because his recovery is occurring at the same time as COVID-19 restrictions, he is currently sheltering at home. However, he is still making the most of his gift, pursuing new life goals.

Professionally, he is researching the uses and benefits of medicinal marijuana to provide relief to patients living with chronic pain. Personally, Dr Cutter dreams of owning five acres of land somewhere in South Australia, where he can be self-sufficient and live to an old age.

“Words cannot describe how grateful I am for this gift,” Dr Cutter says. “That’s why I encourage everyone to register.

All you need is 60 seconds and your Medicare card – it’s that easy.”

Mrs Burke agrees, encouraging people to simply start by having a conversation.

“Today, have a conversation about being a donor. Trust me, it’s a lot easier to talk about it now compared to when a loved one is on life support,” she says.

Mrs McDonald also encourages everyone to consider donating, saying age is no barrier.

“People over 80 have become organ and tissue donors,” she says. “People worry that they might not be healthy enough to donate, but people who smoke, drink or have unhealthy diets can still donate. You don’t have to be in perfect health to save lives.

“Our advice is to register, tell your family and let our medical experts decide if you’re able to donate at the time of your death.”

If you previously registered to be a donor on your driver’s licence, you now need to join the Australian Organ Donor Register.

Driver’s licence donor registries no longer exist - so if you would like to be an organ and tissue donor, please head to donatelife.gov.au and register.

Just one minute of your time today, could help save up to 10 lives in the future.

HOW CAN I REGISTER? In Queensland, the ability to register as an organ donor on your driver’s license ended in 2005. To register you now need to head to donatelife. gov.au/register-donor-today.

By filling in the online form, you are registering your consent to become an organ and tissue donor. By doing this, you could save the lives of many people in the future.

SCIENCE WEEK AT SEA LIFE

MORE ELITE SPORTS TEAMS ARRIVE Two southern teams are making their way to the Sunshine Coast for most of the Super Netball season.

Giants Netball captain Jo Harten and NSW Swifts captain Maddy Proud

GIANTS NETBALL

NEW SOUTH WALES SWIFTS

Suncorp Super Netball began a new chapter in Australian netball history in 2017, and with it the introduction of Giants Netball.

Owned and operated by Netball New South Wales, in alliance with Giants AFL, Giants Netball was formed to provide more opportunities for the 116,000 registered members in New South Wales – to represent their state at netball’s highest domestic level, to attend more home games than ever before, and witness the world’s best netballers live in action.

New South Wales Swifts have been at the pinnacle of their game for 20 years. A foundation club of Australia’s first national netball league, the Swifts went on to claim four titles before the advent of the trans-Tasman league in 2008.

The club claimed the inaugural ANZ Championship title with a win over the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic. Over the course of nine trans-Tasman seasons, the Swifts continued to keep their standards high, reaching back-to-back grand finals in the final two years of the competition.

T

he Sunshine Coast has netted another elite sporting team.

Due to COVID, two Super Netball teams will join the University of the Sunshine Coast’s Lightning team.

Giants Netball will arrive in midAugust and call Mooloolaba home for the majority of the season. New South Wales Swifts are also looking at making their way north for most of the Super Netball season.

On July 19, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced that Super Netball would move to Queensland for the 2020 season.

The Giants were set to relocate to the competition-wide Queensland hub after three rounds of action in Sydney at Ken Rosewall Arena.

However, with growing COVID-19 concerns and the new state border restrictions, which closed to Sydney residents from Saturday, both the Giants and Swifts are making the move to Queensland immediately.

The Giants aim to be settled on the Coast from August 16.

National Science Week is taking place from August 15–23 and SEA LIFE Aquariums across Australia and New Zealand are diving into the action.

With the expertise to bring the 2020 theme of ‘Deep Blue: innovations for the future of our oceans’ to life, SEA LIFE will present free educational activities and live video content throughout the week.

As part of National Science Week’s annual celebration of science and technology featuring more than 1000 events, SEA LIFE will help students discover why sand is such an important part of the marine environment.

Available on each aquarium’s Facebook page, there are four live streams taking place during National Science Week from aquariums in Sydney, Auckland, Melbourne and the Sunshine Coast. The four videos will also be available on YouTube after premiering on Facebook.

NDIS BRINGS ROLF’S BEACH DREAMS TO LIFE

R

olf Wehrend dreams of getting onto the beach; something he hasn’t been able to do for almost a decade.

It’s the first place the Morningside local wants to visit now he has a new motorised beach wheelchair from the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which he received in June.

Mr Wehrend, who has a spinal cord injury and has used a wheelchair for 40 years, last visited the beach during a visit to Bargara in 2011. However, he found it difficult with a manual wheelchair.

“I grew up at Peregian Beach and used to surf and swim. I love the water and beach fishing, but usually I have to stay on the dunes or pathway,” he says.

With his new versatile wheelchair, Mr Wehrend can’t wait to visit the Sunshine Coast, but will give it a shot even closer to home to test it out first.

“The wheelchair is like a four-wheeldrive on the sand. I may go visit the Sunshine Coast to test it on the beach, but I am also waiting on a trailer as well to cart it around.

“From my home I will be able to get it

PROFILE

BOYS WILL BE BOYS… AND THAT’S OK USC Associate Professor Dr Michael Nagel has released a new book that challenges the concept of toxic masculinity. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

T

he phrase ‘toxic masculinity’ is now part of the zeitgeist and according to Dr Michael Nagel from the University of the Sunshine Coast, it’s bad for boys. The Associate Professor in Child Development and Learning has set out to challenge what he says is society’s war on boyishness in his new book, Educating and Raising Boys.

Using recent advances in neuroscience as the framework for his book, Dr Nagel examines how the hardwiring in boys’ brains leads to behaviours that are often labelled bad, wrong or disruptive by parents, teachers and society.

“Terms such as toxic masculinity don’t help boys as they’re trying to work their way into manhood,” Dr Nagel says. “It’s how we can foster what I call positive masculinity, rather than pigeonholing them as toxic.

“Toxic masculinity purports that every time a male does something poorly, that’s representative of all males. If a male is abusive, that’s representative of that particular person, not all males. I don’t like using the term toxic masculinity – let’s just call out the individual cases.”

The book is an extension of his 2006 book Boys Stir Us: Working with the Hidden Nature of Boys. A companion book on girls will come out later this year as a follow-up to It’s a Girl Thing, first released in 2008.

Dr Nagel says recent advances in medical research and neuroscience have opened up a new world of understanding that explains different intricacies between boys and girls by looking at the unique structural and chemical differences in the brain of each sex.

“Revealing data suggests the brains of boys maintain certain characteristics that may impact on their emotions, approaches to learning, personality and temperament, sense of identity and overall sense of wellbeing,” he says. “For example, on face value the research suggests that the fidgety and impulsive tendencies of boys may

“Impulsive tendencies of boys may be linked to the levels and processing of serotonin”

be linked to the levels and processing of serotonin and other neurotransmitters.

Regrettably, many boys are often chastised for an inability to sit still or calm down when they are only engaging in an innately boyish way due to the chemical milieu of their brains.

“One of the biggest things people have difficulty understanding is the physicality of boys,” he says. “They always seem to be in perpetual motion. That’s a product of the neurochemicals and hormones in their body. At around nine or 10 they have surges of testosterone and they have about seven spikes a day for the rest of their lives. When you have a surge of testosterone, sitting still is not easy. You see boys acting physically and you automatically assume it’s a negative behaviour; you are condemning them. School is still very sedentary and we expect boys and girls to act the same.”

Dr Nagel is concerned that over the

past few years, the Prep curriculum has changed from one of play-based learning with a lot of movement, to a more academically designed curriculum.

“From 2014 to last year, there has been an exponential increase in suspensions and exclusions of four-year-olds in schools,” he says. “Developmentally, boys are behind girls until their eighth or ninth birthday. If you put a four-year-old boy in a Prep classroom and get him to sit at a desk, he’ll get frustrated. When a four-year-old boy gets frustrated, he doesn’t put his hand up and say, ‘excuse me, I’m feeling frustrated’, he lashes out. My suspicion is there are a whole lot of boys being penalised because they’re being asked to do things they’re not developmentally ready for.”

Dr Nagel says the brains of boys and girls also process positive and negative emotions differently.

“In boys, the part of the brain where

emotions happen is not well connected to the part where verbal processing and speech happens – unlike in girls,” he says.

“All too often a boy’s behaviour is misread as arrogant, stubborn or introverted, when in fact his ability to describe his feelings or actions is not immediately accessible.

“Not being armed with this sort of information leaves educators and parents without the requisite insight to counteract a boy’s emotional difficulties and opens the potential for mislabelling his lack of engagement in learning or his reaction as a behavioural issue.”

Dr Nagel is aware his book may draw criticism in today’s climate of political correctness, particularly around sex and gender. In the first chapter of the book, he addresses the belief that gender or sex is fluid, saying this is a sociological concept, rather than a biological one.

“I had to dedicate the first chapter of my book to teasing out what it means to be male or female biologically, what is transgender, what is intersex,” he says.

“What I’m concerned about is people have thrown out the science – 99.99 per cent of all humans have either XX or XY [chromosomes], which tells us whether you’re male or female. People who dabble in sociology would have you believe gender is assigned at birth – it’s highly problematic.

“I’m not trying to perpetuate some notion of males being better than females, or somehow there is an advantage to being male or female. But I’m deadest certain once my book gets into various domains, I’ll get emails saying ‘you’re a misogynist’, ‘you’re trying to perpetuate stereotypes’. It’s not that at all. It seems we can’t just have a conversation about this. I’m not suggesting transgender doesn’t exist. I’m suggesting it’s a small percentage of the population and we don’t understand it very well. By the same token, we know a fair bit about boys and males – shouldn’t we be talking about that as well?”

scheme if their situation warrants it.

“If other states and territories want to avail themselves of the same service then please come forward,” she told Sky News.

“We’re very open to discussions with them.”

The federal opposition argues the government has been too slow to act, finally moving on pandemic leave five months after it was first called for.

“The point of paid pandemic leave, and why we’ve been calling for it for some time, was to prevent community transmission,” Labor leader Anthony Albanese said.

“No one should be in a circumstance whereby they feel compelled to go to work because they don’t have other options of financial support.”

Some companies are offering their own version of pandemic leave, while the Fair Work Commission has recently decided to vary the aged care, nurses and health services awards to allow it.

T

he Morrison government will allow other states and territories to join Victoria in accessing $1500 pandemic payments for workers without sick leave.

Victorian workers will be able to access the payment designed to give people the financial capability to stay home while isolating.

Unions and Labor have called for a national scheme to prevent outbreaks driven by people going to work when sick or waiting for test results.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said there is an option for other states to receive the money.

“If other states or territories want to enter into a similar arrangement, then I’ll be making that offer to the states and territories if they wish to do that,” he told

Seven’s Sunrise program recently.

“Of course, they are not facing the same level of challenge. The health advice we had out of Victoria was to do this.”

Under a federal-state agreement, the Commonwealth pays for Australian residents and citizens while the Victorian government picks up the bill for shortterm visa holders.

Attorney-General Christian Porter said it could be extended if federal and state leaders agreed to do so through national cabinet.

“If a set of circumstances approximating those that have arisen in Victoria occur in another state, then that is clearly an open door,” he told 6PR radio.

Social Services Minister Anne Ruston encouraged premiers and chief ministers to ask the federal government to join the

KNOW The National Institutes of Health says it will launch two trials to evaluate antibody COVID-19 drugs and follow these up with trials for other experimental therapies in patients with the disease.

Novavax Inc says its experimental COVID-19 vaccine produced antibodies against the coronavirus and appears to be safe, according to initial data.

CLOTH MASKS – HOW TO USE & CLEAN THEM The recent rise in community transmission of COVID-19 in Australia means some states and territories now recommend or require the use of face masks.

It’s important to stay up-to-date with the advice in your local area.

Your state or territory government will provide this.

Cloth masks are a washable covering and further advice on how to clean them is below. If your cloth mask becomes damp you must remove it, put on a fresh one and put the used one in a plastic bag for washing at the end of the day.

CLEANING YOUR MASK Cloth masks can be washed in the washing machine with other clothes, or hand-washed using soap and the warmest appropriate water setting for the cloth. Dry the cloth mask in the clothes dryer or in fresh air before you re-use it.

Clean your hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub (made up of over 60 per cent alcohol or 70 per cent isopropanol) after handling used face masks.

DEVELOPMENT DECISIONS

Well I guess a lot of people expected the Twin Waters West development to be approved. In my view, this decision has taken far too long. Why didn’t they say no in 2005? Council decisions never surprise me, their attitude is overbearing. Maybe we have too many greenies in council.

After this pandemic, we need to approve lots of development to get the economy moving. This won’t happen unless the state government makes them get on with it. Maybe we should get rid of councils.

I have been through this and I understand what delays in council can cost. It took eight years for a development I did with my son. I am self-funded and because we had bought the land, I was unable to use funds in the bank while waiting. Two things were happening at that time – the building cost rose, and bank interest was low, which made me use my capital for living. I estimate it cost me while $300,000 while waiting. And I’m only the little man. William Cox, Twin Waters

Do you really want an extra 29,000 high-density dwellings in Maroochydore, Mooloolaba and Kawana?

Buried in the Sunshine Coast mass transit preliminary business case for a light railway project is the intention to have 400 metres on either side of the light rail rezoned as high-density living, to “satisfy the infill criteria of council”.

Light rail is great for shifting people, but not tradies with their tools and equipment, people delivering home services or people shifting the elderly or disabled. Also, if you want to travel away from where the light rail runs, you will still probably be needing to use your car.

The question then is how will increasing high-density living reduce road traffic? Maybe the council should consult the residents more before their August meeting?

Regarding Sandy Zubrinich’s comments about the council rejection of the Twin Waters West development proposed by Stockland, MWP August 7. The real question that should be asked by Ms Zubrinich is why the council senior technical offices recommended approval despite overwhelming evidence against the development clearly highlighting its shortcomings.

This is a high-risk flood plain area with considerable environmental and ecological significance adjoining a huge established residential area that the development application did not properly address. The science and engineering proposed by the developer raised very serious questions that were not independently peer reviewed.

In fact, reviews commissioned by others with no direct financial gain from the development found several areas of great concern relating to flooding, soil contamination, traffic management and environmental damage that had not been addressed. Presumably, Ms Zubrinich is

Warren Blee, OAM

not fully conversant with the detail of the development application to make such comments and is simply focused on the short-term financial gain at the expense of the medium- and long-term irreversible damage that will be caused by this very bad development. Rather than criticise councillor Dickson, he should be applauded for his integrity and courage in admitting his previous error and seeking to rectify it.

Mayor Mark Jamieson rightly decided to excuse himself from the vote due to more than $75,000 of electoral donations being made to him by businesses that gave feedback on Stockland’s Twin Waters West development (Courier Mail July 27, 2020). Most councillors, led by Councillor O’Pray, proved their independence and integrity by voting against the proposal by a margin of eight to two based on the science, engineering, environmental risks, and the safety of the community.

Well done to those councillors.

I love reading My Weekly Preview magazine but am a bit confused.

In last week’s Fast Facts (which I love), you told us that the tallest giraffe in the world stood at 5.7912 metres and lived in Folly Farm in Pembrokeshire and then in this week’s edition you tell us the tallest giraffe in the world stands at 5.7 metres and lives at Australian Zoo. So please would really love to know which of these fun facts is correct Chris, Caloundra

READING MATTERS

Hi Chris, I believe we can all grow and learn. Within a week of publishing our Fast Facts, we received a press release with a claim to fame that usurps our Folly Farm giraffe.

This latest claim is verified by the Guinness Book of Records, but who knows when this will be surpassed? However, I will keep eye out (and up) in case of future giraffe claims. Thanks for reading our MWP.

I was so happy to read my magazine with its new content.

I know you are going to give us the best of local news and content. Thank you for giving us what matters to us here on the Sunshine Coast.

HOLOGRAMS BEAMED LIVE TO YOUR LIVING ROOM What historical figure would you most like to have a conversation with? Would you give anything to have a loved one who has passed away, standing in front of you and talking? Holographic communication machines have arrived – but they’re not cheap.

A

Los Angeles company has created phone booth-sized machines to beam live holograms into your living room.

The device made by PORTL Inc lets users talk in real time with a life-sized hologram of another person.

The machines also can be equipped with technology to enable interaction with recorded holograms of historical figures or relatives who have passed away.

Each PORTL device is 2.1 metres tall, 1.5 metres wide and 0.6 metres deep, and can be plugged into a standard wall outlet.

Anyone with a camera and a white background can send a hologram to the machine in what chief executive David Nussbaum calls, “holoportation”.

“We say if you can’t be there, you can beam there,” says Nussbaum, who previously worked at a company that developed a hologram of Ronald Reagan for the former president’s library and digitally resurrected rapper Tupac Shakur.

“We are able to connect military families that haven’t seen each other in months, people from opposite coasts,” or anyone who is social distancing to fight the coronavirus, Nussbaum adds.

Prices for the machine start at

$US60,000 ($A83,215), a cost that Nussbaum expects will drop over the next three to five years. The company also plans a smaller tabletop device with a lower price tag early next year.

The devices can be equipped with artificial intelligence technology from Los Angeles-based company StoryFile to produce hologram recordings that can be archived. Adding that to the current device brings the cost to at least $US85,000.

The companies are promoting to museums, which could let visitors question a hologram of a historical figure, and to families to record information for future generations.

People can feel like they are having a conversation with a recorded hologram, says StoryFile chief executive Heather Smith. “(You) feel their presence, see their body language, see all their non-verbal cues,” she says.

“You feel like you’ve actually talked to that individual even though they were not there.”

HOW WILL OUR ECONOMY RECOVER? Prime Minister Scott Morrison has ruled out introducing a coronavirus levy to help repair the national budget after the pandemic.

The prime minister has also talked down the prospect of new or increased taxes to get the economy humming again. “Increasing taxes doesn’t always grow the economy,� he told 3AW radio last week.

Mr Morrison said the Australian economy was taking its biggest hit since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

He described the global financial crisis as an entree compared to COVID-19. “This thing is going to hit us like a truck,� the prime minister said. “We need to ensure that on the other side of that, and through it, we are doing everything we can to ensure the recovery is as strong as possible.�

Mr Morrison has spoken of needing to turn economic policy settings on their head to recover from the pandemic.

Treasury and the Reserve Bank have warned the policy mix will need a major overhaul if the Australian economy is going to grow once the crisis subsides.

Opposition leader Anthony Albanese said the economy was already struggling before the coronavirus and bushfires over summer.

He is open to revisiting legislated income tax cuts that have not yet taken effect, but is concerned the coalition could pursue industrial relations reforms to dig Australia out of debt. “What we don’t want when we get through this crisis is for the government to just return to its old ideological position of attacking the rights of working people,� Mr Albanese told reporters in Sydney. “If the government’s response post this crisis is to further undermine our unions and to attack wages and conditions of working people, then that will not help the recovery, it will not help growth.� – AAP

AN EXOTIC ADVENTURE

MALENY’S LITTLE GEM

Ever wondered what it would be like to leave it all behind and live overseas?

A Buderim author has captured the experience in her new book.

A

ustralian author Dr Christine Velde’s decision to reside in Bali, and to travel throughout Indonesia and Asia is the subject of her new book, Into the Exotic. The memoir illustrates what it is like to live in a foreign country as an expatriate and the challenges faced on a daily basis.

Dr Velde learns that through overcoming

these challenges, some of which are formidable, it is possible to see life through a much wider lens. Although many people talk about it, fewer take a risk to leave everything behind and live overseas.

“Life is safe if you do not take a risk, but are you actually living?” she asks. “It is through living in another country, that a person can move from being ‘bound’ in their own culture and traditions, to becoming ‘unbound’ and more accepting of differences in others and aware of your place as a global citizen.

“In these fast-changing transformative times, increasingly characterised by world problems such as terrorism and the current pandemic, nothing else seems more urgent and important. This is especially so for a country like Australia, which is so removed from the rest of the world.”

The book’s message is that calculated risk-taking provides us with not just challenges and new experiences, but the joy and exhilaration of achievement.

Dr Velde will be guest speaker at these upcoming events: Maroochydore Rotary Club in August, Probus Club Kawana in September and Buderim Mountain Probus

Initially, she worked as the academic director of a design and business college in Shanghai, China and later as a freelance research/writer in Indonesia.

Dr Velde now lives at Buderim with her husband David and their Bengal cat, Rajah. She contributes to community groups, such as the Buderim Craft Cottage, Sunshine Coast Art Group and is a member of the Queensland Writers Centre.

MY OPINION

ARTY RACOONS & FOXY FELONS

IT IS WHAT IT IS

From artistic racoons to thieving foxes, Sami Muirhead has some quirky animal stories to bring a smile to your dial.

Leigh Robshaw says Jonathan Swan’s interview with Donald Trump will be remembered as one of the best political interviews in history.

H

ow are you holding up with the waves getting a little choppy again in the COVID current? I figure we all need some laughs and I stumbled across two animal stories this week that had me smiling from ear to ear. May they bring you the same joy.

The first story is a true tale about a nursery of racoons that paint masterpieces in the form of oil canvasses. I have always had a bit of a soft spot for these cute little animals, because they are born with a Batman mask and whiskers on their pointy little faces. When God was handing out the cute genes, he doubled down on the racoon. As opposed to the cane toad, which is just about the ugliest little guy in the animal world. Racoons have that look of mischief permanently placed on their naughty little faces. It reminds me of that guy Todd, who I work with on the radio.

So, these raccoons that were rescued from certain death in the wild after being injured by humans, scamper through paint and then trot over a canvass to create some pretty cool canvasses. The bandits are named Piper, Tito and Chetto. These little critters apparently are very smart and indeed love to create artwork of their paw prints that sell before the paint is even set.

And from the Vincent van Goghs of the animal world, we travel to Germany where the tale of a fox in Crocs sounds like a Dr Seuss book. This little fox has a serious shoe fetish and has been unmasked as the

mystery thief of more than 100 shoes in the small town of Foehren. A forest worker stumbled upon shoes strewn near the fox’s den and found a trove of footwear down the hole which had been nicked from the outside of front doors.

“There was everything from ladies’ shoes to trainers and lots of Crocs,” said a local police spokesperson. Smart fox . We all know that Crocs are more divisive than the topics of politics and religion combined. You are either a Crocs fan, or you hate them with all of your heart. The

“…the tale of a fox in Crocs sounds like a Dr Seuss book” only thing more divisive is someone wearing Crocs with socks. Personally, I like my Crocs because they suit my beach lifestyle and my lazy ways, but many friends have threatened to disown me if I wear them.

The Crocs company has enjoyed increased sales during coronavirus, as it’s believed more people are wearing them at home. As for our foxy little Imelda Marcos, it was let go with a warning and the shoes were returned to their human owners, who were no doubt celebrating the return of their colourful clogs.

I

t came across as satire and was equal parts hilarious and horrifying.

President Donald Trump, his hefty frame perched on a tiny chair that made him look like he was squatting on the toilet. Jonathan Swan, his Aussie accent and comical facial expressions reminiscent of one of the guys from The Chaser.

But it wasn’t satire – it was dead serious.

The Donald Trump interview with Jonathan Swan, broadcast on Axios for HBO, will go down as one of the best political interviews in history. It did what journalism is supposed to do. It revealed the depth of the leader of the free world’s ignorance, the extent of his self-interest and his stone cold lack of empathy.

There were plenty of gobsmacking moments – the dodgy printouts that looked like a grade four assignment. The bald-faced lies spewing out of Trump’s mouth. The nonsensical statements like “we’re doing better than… the world” while 1000 Americans a day are dying from COVID-19.

Clearly, Trump thinks we’re all a bunch of idiots who can’t tell when a leader is way out of their depth, as he desperately throws word salads together in a vain attempt to sound competent and in control. Not only has he failed to lead his country through the pandemic as safely as possible, but he lacks the courage and humility to admit it.

He makes Scott Morrison look like Jesus and Jacinda Ardern like Mother Teresa.

Call him a narcissist or a sociopath, but underneath all the bluster, he is a deeply insecure man. He is terrified of revealing any vulnerability whatsoever and that’s what prevents him getting what he really wants: to be loved, accepted and praised for what he believes is the wonderful job he’s doing.

As humans, our hearts open when people show vulnerability and admit their mistakes. We’ve all stuffed up at some point – okay, maybe not on a scale as grand as The Donald. But we have the capacity to forgive when someone genuinely fesses up.

Imagine how much better that interview would have gone for Trump if he’d taken the opportunity to solemnly apologise for his mistakes and the lives lost on his watch. Instead, he’s a laughing stock.

Of course, he thinks it went really well, even as he uttered the words destined for a million memes: “It is what it is”. He delivered those heartless words to multitudes of grieving families with a flippant shrug of the shoulders and a complete and utter lack of empathy. It was the point in the interview where I asked myself, does this man have a soul?

We know he has a brain. You don’t make it that far without some semblance of intelligence. But in wisdom, he is sorely lacking. As Socrates said, ‘The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing’.

God help America if he wins the next election. But then, it is what it is.

A FAIR SHARE FOR AUSTRALIAN MANUFACTURING IN THE POST-COVID ECONOMY

BUSINESS NEEDS A RECOVERY PLAN

T

he Caloundra Chamber of Commerce, along with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Queensland (CCIQ), is calling for an economic recovery plan for business.

As Queensland’s borders are now closed to interstate travellers from Victoria, New South Wales and the ACT, the organisations say there needs to be a plan in place to support Sunshine Coast businesses, as many are heavily reliant on tourism.

Caloundra Chamber president Michael Shadforth says while a decision to close the border has been made on health advice, businesses will suffer.

“Business here on the Sunshine Coast are struggling/feeling the pinch. Bookings are being cancelled for accommodation providers and retailers are worried about moving stock.

“Without knowing how long this closure will last, businesses are nervous.

They need support to keep their doors open and their staff employed, and more immediate stimulus measures and support are needed.

“Beyond the need for immediate support, for Sunshine Coast businesses to succeed it’s critical for the Palaszczuk government to provide its economic recovery plan.

“A plan of knowing what’s next will give business the certainty they need to help them plan by knowing what’s happening next.

Caloundra Chamber CEO Olivia Sainsbury has been working closely with member and non-member businesses across the Sunshine Coast over the past months.

“The Chamber pivoted from providing face-to-face events and workshops to its members, to offering a full calendar of Zoom events to all businesses and Chambers on the Sunshine Coast,” she says. “This period has been about being inclusive and ensuring businesses feel connected.”

Of the recent border closures, Ms Sainsbury says, “What we are saying to everyone now though, is to keep getting out and supporting local small businesses so that we can keep our economy moving and keep Queenslanders in jobs.”

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, Australians have been reminded of the importance of being able to manufacture goods domestically.

International shortages of medical equipment and personal protective equipment, made worse by restrictions on exports from several countries, sparked fears Australia might run out of essential supplies. Australia’s government and manufacturers scrambled to convert domestic facilities to produce medical equipment and supplies.

Even supplying simple products like masks proved to be a challenge. Thankfully critical shortages did not emerge, but this crisis has reminded Australians that our ability to produce a full range of essential manufactures is a matter of national wellbeing.

For many years the conventional wisdom has been that as a high-wage, resource-rich economy, Australia was unable to competitively manufacture, nor did it need to. Between digging up raw materials and shipping them to our trading partners (who subsequently manufactured those resources into

higher-value products which they sold back to us) and our success in some service exports (like higher education for foreign students), it was argued we no longer needed to produce the ‘stuff’ we use. The COVID-19 pandemic has shattered that complacency.

Even senior government officials, who long trumpeted the virtues of free trade and so-called ‘comparative advantage’ specialisation, now concede that Australia’s domestic manufacturing capability has declined too far.

The National COVID-19 Coordination Commission (NCCC) is investigating opportunities for revitalising manufacturing as part of Australia’s post-pandemic reconstruction.

This is a summary of an 80-page report published by the Centre for Future Work on the importance and potential of revitalising Australia’s manufacturing base in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Assets and property settlements – what you need to know

New rules for signing wills and enduring powers of attorney

Cash flow management in a crisis

Secure your future by investing in property

When dealing with separated couples, I’m often told to take into account bank accounts, superannuation and credit card balances of the parties by drawing a line in the sand at the date of separation.

I also commonly face the emphatic position of a party who says any assets accumulated after separation aren’t relevant, and any debts after then shouldn’t be taken into account.

In family law property settlements, a division of assets is determined on the value of the assets at the time of the agreed or ordered division.

Parties could be separated 10 years or more but not formalised a settlement, and despite having led fairly separate lives and accumulated significant assets (or debts) since that time, it is the post 10-year value that will be taken into account.

However, arguments about what has happened post separation, the benefit or fault, and the percentage adjustment that results, is often the subject of significant dispute between parties, resulting in increased legal costs, uncertainty and delays.

It is essential to obtain advice about your entitlements early and as soon as possible after separation.

In response to COVID-19, new regulations have been passed for signing Wills and Enduring Powers of Attorney.

The regulations allow for the witnessing of documents via an audio visual link.

Importantly, they only apply to documents signed between May 15 and December 31, 2020.

Before now, to validly execute a Will in Queensland, it needed to be executed “in the presence of” two witnesses.

This meant being physically present.

A witness can now be “present” by an audio visual link.

If an audiovisual link is used, one of the witnesses must be a “special witness”.

The regulations define a “special witness” to include a: • lawyer; and • JP or Commissioner for Declarations employed by the firm who prepared the document.

There are identity requirements to be met and the link must be in “real time” with each page of the document required to be signed.

You should seek legal advice in relation to the precise witnessing procedure. It can be costly to apply to the court to validate any non-compliant attempt.

As a business owner, there are some key things you need to focus on right now – cash-flow crisis management and financial management. Follow our nine-step process to ensure your business is best placed for success.

1. Prepare a monthly cash flow forecast for the next 12 months. Monitor it regularly.

2. Maximise cash flow by accessing all eligible federal, state and local government support.

3. Review ATO tax relief options that may be available to you.

4. Review existing finance arrangements as any deferrals may end in September.

Have discussions early so you can plan.

5. Review your trade terms to bring forward cash receipts and defer cash payments.

6. Conduct a waste audit on your business to improve efficiencies and reduce costs.

7. Review your business interruption insurance to determine if you are eligible to make a potential claim.

8. Consider alternate revenue streams or markets that may be available to you.

9. Constantly review and reassess.

These steps will be crucial to ensure your business sustainability during these difficult times.

COVID-19 has caused people to reassess their financial goals and shown how important it is to future-proof your retirement. Investing in the property market is an easy and risk-free way to secure your future, especially during these uncertain times.

The Sunshine Coast has proven to be a very resilient market and, contrary to what the headlines are saying, the ideal conditions to invest exist right now.

There’s less competition; property prices are growing; rental returns are strong; interest rates are at an all-time low; and demand for property is high.

If you wait to invest after you pay off your home loan, it could simply be too late to get another loan or benefit from any capital growth. The smartest way to set yourself up for a stress-free retirement is to use equity (the difference between what your home is worth and what you owe on the property) to start building wealth.

If you have over 20 per cent equity in your property, you could use that money to buy a risk-free, tax-deductible investment property that – in conjunction with your super – will allow you to enjoy a financially secure future.

VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23)

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

Have you been selling yourself short?

This week your ruler Mercury links up with Mars and the sun, and then Mercury and the sun shift into your sign. Stop engaging in negative self-talk. It’s time to be the creative and clever Virgo you were born to be.

Prepare to be pleasantly surprised!

The fiery new moon reignites a special Libran dream that’s been languishing on the sidelines. The lively Venus-Uranus link turbo charges creativity or speeds up a romantic connection.

There’s no denying you are a smart Scorpion, but are you making the most of it? This week it’s time to don your thinking cap and give yourself a vigorous mental workout, connect with work colleagues and keep them up-to-date with your current plans.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

Be careful your spontaneous spirit doesn’t land you in unexpected trouble! You’re keen to communicate but, if you rush and say the first thing on your mind (especially at work) then you could find yourself regretting your haste.

Tuesday night’s new moon stimulates your intrigue zone, so no secret is safe, as you uncover clues and pick up on cues that other people miss.

Be careful what you unearth though otherwise you could stir up issues from your own less-than-perfect past.

Love, loyalty, cooperation and compromise are the new moon buzz words, as one half of you wants to snuggle up close with someone special, while the other half longs to be footloose and spontaneously solo.

Try to find the sweet spot in between.

New moon week is the ideal time to ditch bad daily habits and start afresh.

Work, health, fitness and food choices are the main areas where you need to make some long overdue changes and adjustments – the sooner the better.

Q&A WITH MATT DIESEL The REIQ’s man on the Coast discusses the challenges he has faced taking on his role just before the pandemic hit. WORDS: Layne Whitburn.

N

ew Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) Sunshine Coast zone chairman, Matt Diesel, loves a challenge. But when he was appointed to the position in December 2019, he wasn’t expecting to tackle the impacts of a global pandemic.

Fortunately, the real estate industry has adapted and thrived to the new norm.

My Weekly Preview spoke with Mr Diesel about his new role, the current state of the Sunshine Coast property market, and what the future may hold.

Since taking on this role as REIQ Sunshine Coast zone chairman, what are

some of the main challenges you’ve faced?

Well this year is like nothing else.

I certainly could not have envisioned what was going to roll out this year. It has been a tumultuous time for the industry as a whole with quite a bit of uncertainty, especially when we were first hearing about COVID-19 with trying to predict what the best course of action would be to keep our industry and clients safe, as well as how to adopt new best practices moving forward.

The REIQ as a whole has been a rock at this time, giving sound advice and updates to all of its members.

What are some of the main impacts (good and bad) of COVID-19 on the Coast property market?

The main impacts have been in the way agents and agencies have had to adopt new safe work practices to look after their clients and staff during this time, which at times were changing on a daily basis.

The good news is that property sales and rental demand has been very high through this time, so there has been no downturn, keeping our industry gainfully employed.

With the impacts of social distancing restrictions on auctions and open homes, are

you still seeing results, despite these challenges?

Property stock levels are at all-time lows and the real estate industry is purely supply and demand. Demand is as good as ever, which is great news for sellers and landlords. The real challenge moving forward this year is keeping up stock levels to cope with current demand levels both from the rental and sales side.

With an increase in home offices and remote learning, are we seeing more ‘out of towners’ shift to the Coast to work and live?

We are have seen a major shift in the workplace this year and in particular from our southern cousins. With the traditional workplace as we knew it disbanding, employers are now seeing that new models are emerging where they do not need to have a massive office space and expensive overheads. Instead, this year we have been made to think outside the box and put new work procedures in place.

Employees have been given KPIs to meet and as long as they have good internet connections, they can work from wherever they like, which is a massive paradigm shift. Since the start of COVID, the Sunshine Coast with all of the

infrastructure currently underway or being recently completed, i.e. the airport, high speed internet capability and so on, has really come into focus to allow employees to leave the big smoke and continue their employment, while enjoy living in such a special part of the world.

Why do you choose the Sunshine Coast to raise your children?

Simple: it’s all about lifestyle, climate, security and friendly people. I have had the privilege of travelling and working all over the world and there is only one place I want to raise my family and that’s the Sunshine Coast. We are certainly very lucky to be able to live and enjoy all this region has to offer.

What parts of the Sunshine Coast do you wish to keep for your children? What elements of the Coast would you like to see grow or develop for future generations?

I would love to see the all the greenbelts, larger block sizes and pristine waterways we have continue for our children and their children to enjoy.

We will certainly need to continue to grow our region for future growth, however careful strategic planning on how to best incorporate this will be essential to keeping our region’s charm.

ELEVATE TO LUXURY APARTMENT LIVING

T

he recent completion of Elevate on Buderim in the heart of the iconic Sunshine Coast village has driven a rise in enquiries for the two remaining luxury apartments — one being an expansive 250sqm penthouse.

Ken Reed, director of HMR Projects, which developed the prime Ballinger Road site, says interest has been high. This resulted in the third available apartment being snapped up only days after completion of the project.

“While these are uncertain times for many, the interest in securing quality property appears to remain high and as the sold apartments have settled in recent weeks and our owners have moved in, the vision for Elevate on Buderim has become evident,” Mr Reed says.

“We’ve also seen the success of Honeysuckle Restaurant create a buzz at Elevate, which further enhances the vibrant hub we were looking to create.

“Given we are just a few steps from Buderim’s high street, we always knew this location would benefit from a mixed-use, boutique development and the iconic Lebbek tree adjoining the site has created the perfect backdrop for Kim Joo’s modern Asian eatery.

“Honeysuckle has been a great addition

From page 33

to the smorgasbord of restaurants in Buderim and we congratulate Joo on successfully launching his restaurant in challenging times for the hospitality industry. The Buderim locals have certainly been supportive and Joo’s cheffing reputation from his time at Junk in Ocean Street and Embassy XO in Sunshine Beach has stood him in good stead.

“I’d like to thank Devcon Building Co. for constructing these seven high-end apartments to the highest specifications and also acknowledge BRD Design for turning my

vision for the site into a reality. These apartments are very thoughtfully designed resulting in spacious, luxurious homes with all the convenience of apartment living.”

The two remaining apartments both have three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two secure garages, as well as stone benchtops throughout, Miele appliances, fully ducted air-conditioning, timber flooring and the highest specification finishes.

Elevate on Buderim agent Lew Pottinger from Ray White Buderim says to

date, all buyers were owner-occupiers with most looking to downsize from larger properties, either within the local area or from further afield.

“The majority of the new residents are actually Buderim locals who are downsizing and appreciate the superb location and the quality of this small boutique development,” Mr Pottinger says.

“All buyers share a desire to be in the heart of Buderim just steps away from the thriving high street which Buderim has become known for. The most recent sale was to a Buderim local looking to downsize and enjoy contemporary apartment living without the burden of high body corporate fees.”

Elevate on Buderim is open for inspection on Saturdays from 9.30–10.30am, Tuesdays from 12–1pm and Thursdays from 12–1.00pm.

Sunny Coast proves fertile ground for NRL

Nelson Asofa-Solomona, Felise Kaufusi, Kenny Bromwich, Tino Faasuamaleaui, Brandon Smith, Tom Eisenhuth and Nicho Hynes were members of the starting squad for the Storm and have varying numbers of caps for the Falcons.

Reserve Darryn Schonig was also a regular for the club last year. Meanwhile, the Knights’ Kurt Mann and Hymel Hunt battled in familiar territory at Bokarina too. Their assistant coach Eric Smith was also coach of the Falcons in 2019. While some have only donned a Coast jersey for a limited number of appearances, for many it was a crucial building block to gain NRL status.

“There’s lot of players there that wouldn’t be playing NRL if it wasn’t for a

“It’s stuff like this on the weekend that makes it all worthwhile because you know you’re creating a pathway”

he Coast’s vital role as a stepping stone to the national level was on display in full force when the Melbourne Storm hosted the Knights last Sunday, with a multitude of former Sunshine Coast Falcons talent lacing up.

A total of 11 Melbourne players hit the field at Sunshine Coast Stadium on Sunday night, having donned a black and gold jersey in the past, with two Newcastle talents also having Coast caps to their names. Ryan Papenhuyzen, Suliasi Vunivalu, Justin Olam, Jahrome Hughes,

second tier competition,” Falcons chairman Ashley Robinson says.

“While some people will say a lot of those blokes are Melbourne players, I just can’t stress enough that a lot wouldn’t have made it if they didn’t have those games at Intrust or NSW Cup level.” He says the Falcons club watched on with great pride on Sunday knowing they had played a part in helping to forge the careers of NRL quality talent.

“It’s very special,” Mr Robinson says.

“We’ve had a long hard road the Falcons,

like a lot of clubs, and with stuff like this it obviously makes it worthwhile for blokes like (CEO) Chris Flannery and our board and volunteers and sponsors that have supported us.”

“It’s stuff like this on the weekend that makes it all worthwhile because you know that you’re creating a pathway.”

While there was no Intrust Super Cup this year, due to COVID-19, he says the NRL clash was a timely reminder of how vital the second tier competition was to the sport.

While keen to watch the bevy of talent in the Storm play, Mr Robinson was pleased to see Knights’ Kurt Mann run out on Bokarina turf once again.

“When we were struggling in the early days he was one of the Melbourne players that really embraced coming up and playing,” he says.

“In the early days there were a few that didn’t want to be there but he wasn’t one of them, he always came up and gave 100 per cent which is great.

“I’m sure he’ll enjoy being back at Sunshine Coast Stadium.”

“Craig Bellamy said to me after their first game here that their players were really taken by the atmosphere at the grounds for that game against Titans because that was the first time experiencing a (great) atmosphere since COVID-19,” Mr Robinson says.

“One of the reasons for that was that there was a lot of Falcons supporters and lot of Sunshine Coast people there that followed a number of those players and it’ll be the same this weekend.”

Jamie Milne’s world record

SUNSHINE COAST F.C. PRE-ACADEMY REGISTRATIONS ARE OPEN This program is a low cost additional coaching program with the view of bringing players with the right mentality (technically and mentally) to the SAP under 9s and school academy program next year.

The program is also open to players of a younger age to allow players to experience training ‘The Fire Way’.

• Coaches: Tom Bateman (UEFA B & Head of SAP) and Ben Wilks (Senior Player, U10 Coach) • Location: Kawana Sports Precinct 320 Nicklin Way, Kawana • Players born 2012–2015 • Every Tuesday: 5.30-6.30pm • Cost: $100 per term Email Tom to register or find out more: tom@sunshinecoastfc.com.au.

Kawana personal trainer and fitness instructor Jamie Milne has skipped his way into the record books with his marathon effort of the most double unders in 12 hours.

Mr Milne, the owner of Jamie Milne Training in Warana, broke the Guinness World Record last week. He smashed the previous number of 20 000 by 2222 leaving the record standing at 22 222.

“They say it’s a world record for a reason so I thought I better make it hard for the next person who wants to have a go,”’ Mr Milne says.

The day wasn’t all smooth sailing for the coast business owner. Fatigue and pain setting in with two hours still remaining had him doubting his ability to finish the job.

“My achilles tendon was creaking and making noises like an old rusty door,” he says.

“I thought, is this the moment it’s going to snap?

“But I pushed through and trusted that my body would warn me if I was seriously going to injure myself.”

Mr Milne celebrates his world record achievement with members of Jamie Milne Training Jamie followed a strict regime of six-minute intervals with only a few seconds break in between in order to break the record so convincingly.

He says there was no way he could have done it without his incredibly supportive team cheering him on and helping him stay fed and hydrated throughout the day.

The world record attempt was a celebration of sobriety for the Sunshine Coast coach.

Jamie said the 12-hour effort didn’t slow him down, getting up the next day to complete an unrelated course.

He’s now planning to try and break more records. “I’m always lining something up,” he says.

Check out Caloundra Cricket Club Caloundra Cricket Club is a great family club with teams spanning juniors, seniors, ladies and social competitions and all are welcome.

• Master Blasters is a super fun, social, safe, cricket program for boys and girls aged seven to 10. The program is much shorter than traditional cricket, with a

maximum of 90 minutes playing time.

Local firefighters learned from leadership experts in Nambour

Training for rural fireys WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

W

ith emergency services gearing up for bushfire season, which officially began on August 1, local firefighters had the opportunity to improve their leadership skills for the front line.

The University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) led the mission-critical leadership training for local rural fire brigades at the C-Square academic hub in Nambour.

USC School of Creative Industries administration officer Elissa Wake says the program is designed to help

LOCALNEWS@MYWEEKLYPREVIEW.COM.AU

upskill firefighters as they risk their lives to save others.

“The program is essentially how to lead your team at the best possible level under pressure,” she says. “It’s also a great opportunity for us to give back to the fireys after the fires last year.”

USC psychologist Dr Scott Gayton led the session, revealing five critical lessons for environments where the consequence of error can be fatal.

“I personally found the course to be stimulating and thought provoking,” Maroochy South deputy group officer Nigel Kemp says. “It was very relevant to our organisation in the aspect of leadership in the volunteer world of the rural fire brigade.

“Scott’s enthusiasm and knowledge of his subject enabled us to have some good hands-on discussions on various topics within the realms of leadership.”

The training comes as Queenslanders are urged to prepare their homes for the fire season.

Fire and emergency services minister Craig Crawford says complacency is not an option.“While we are expected to experience a different bushfire season than last year, we all need to make sure we are prepared for every possibility,” he says.

“No matter where you live, whether it’s a rural or urban area, you need to have a plan in place in case bushfire strikes.”

Men’s Shed receives important funding Sunshine Valley Men’s Shed is continuing to change lives and can now attract new members thanks to funding from the federal government’s Community Development Grant.

The Men’s Shed pitched in $4,107 on top of the government’s $90,000 for a new kitchen and toilet facility.

Sunshine Valley Men’s Shed president Ron Baumann says the grant and subsequent new facility is invaluable.

“These new facilities are much appreciated by the shed members, as a large percentage of our members are in their ‘twilight years’, and until now the only toilet was 50 metres up a steep hill,” he says.

Federal MPs Ted O’Brien and Andrew Wallace were integral in helping get funding over the line for this important service.

“Men’s Sheds offer friendship, a sense of purpose and a place for older men to belong and contribute,” Mr Wallace says.

“Members around the Coast have told me that without Men’s Sheds, there are local men who would not be alive today.

“These extensions are going to help keep the Sunshine Valley Men’s Shed accessible and welcoming for all for years to come.”

Road work ahead

Help Share the Dignity WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

H

aving access to female sanitary items is a privilege many Sunshine Coasters take for granted.

Now, Australian charity Share the Dignity is hoping locals will get on board with its latest Dignity Drive.

Buderim-based volunteer Janet Thornton says COVID-19 is making it even more difficult for women doing it tough to access sanitary products. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The need for period products remains,â&#x20AC;? Ms Thornton says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the past few months, we have been distributing to local charities and donating sanitary products to public houses in lockdown in Melbourne.â&#x20AC;?

As part of the organisationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest drive, donation boxes have been set up outside Woolworths stores from Beerwah up to Gympie.

Donations will then be distributed to 2000 charities nationally who help women and girls dealing with period poverty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great opportunity for the Sunshine Coast to be generous,â&#x20AC;? Ms

Thornton says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we are asking is for people to buy extra products to put them in the box.â&#x20AC;?

The charity accepts pads, tampons, menstrual cups, period underwear and reusable pads as well as incontinence products â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all in their original packaging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These donations have to last charities until the next drive in April, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that we have enough pads and tampons to fill their orders.â&#x20AC;?

The charityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last Dignity Drive in March was cut short due to COVID-19, meaning many charities received only half of what they requested.

Ms Thornton says the feedback it receives from charities helping women in need proves how important its role is.

Share the Dignity also partners with schools to provide sanitary product vending machines, free of charge, for female students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all been there as young teenagers when we are at school and we might not be prepared, Ms Thornton says.

The Dignity Drive runs until August 31.

Share the Dignity volunteer Janet Thornton

Stage two of road work will take place between August 16 and 21, from 6pm to 6am, along Cotton Tree Parade and The Esplanade in Maroochydore. Sunshine Coast Council division four councillor Joe Natoli says the works are part of councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Road Reseal and Rehabilitation Program.

Stage three begins on August 23.

Whale watchers’ close encounter Whale watchers and swimmers had an extraordinary experience after a friendly humpback treated onlookers to a twohour underwater spectacle.

Sunreef Mooloolaba guide Jonny Fell says the encounter is the best he has ever experienced. “She was just so curious and the way she exercised her spatial awareness was incredible, as she swam up, around and in between us,” he says.

“While we were still on the boat, the whale came over and ‘mugged’, so coming super close to the boat.

Graduate’s scientific future

USC graduate Brianna Heeley

A

local University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) graduate, who specialises in geospatial science, has won a coveted award in a leading international design, engineering and science consultancy.

Brianna Heeley secured a position as a scientist with BMT’s Ecology and Environmental Management team in Brisbane after graduating from USC last year with a Bachelor of Environmental Science.

The 22-year-old former St John’s College student was recently named the company’s 2020 Newcomer of the Year.

BMT ecology and environment team leader Dr Darren Richardson says Ms Heeley exceeded expectations of the team since joining in 2019.

“Brianna brings a whole new skill set in remote sensing, which is really building a strong platform for growth,” Dr Richardson says.

Ms Heeley says her skills in applying satellite analysis techniques and 3D visualisation to environmental issues in both land and marine ecosystems provided her with a winning edge.

“I initially chose geospatial analysis subjects to be more employable, as this is a desired skill in the workforce,” she says.

“But as I continued further into my degree, it became an area that I wished to specialise in as it is a quickly advancing space in today’s technological world.”

Growing up on the Sunshine Coast, Ms Heeley gained an appreciation of the beauty of the environment from a young age and developed her keen interest in eco-protection during school, leading the college’s environmental committee in Year 12.

Cr Ted Hungerford Division seven (Rosemount, Kiels Mountain, Diddillibah, Kuluin, North Buderim, Headland Park, Buderim, Forest Glen, Mons and Tanawha) Hi there, my name is Ted Hungerford and I’m proud and privileged to have been elected as the councillor for division seven on the Sunshine Coast at the last five local government elections.

I’m extremely grateful that the residents in division seven have placed their confidence in me to represent them for another four years.

As a fourth-generation local of division seven, I have an extremely strong affection for these communities.

Protecting our rural, urban and rural residential environments by adhering to sound town planning principles is something I believe very strongly in and

my vote on the floor of council has always reflected an adherence to the town plan.

I recently undertook tertiary studies to deepen my understanding of the roles and responsibilities of elected representatives and I’m proud to say that I am now the sixth local government councillor in Queensland to earn a Diploma of Local Government (Elected Member).

Throughout this term on council I hold the portfolios of finance, corporate strategy and governance. I also sit on the audit committee, the Maroochydore city hall project and the airport project control group.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, local governments face a very tough task to deliver balanced budgets over the coming years to ensure we provide affordable services to our community in these challenging times. This is a challenge I look forward to taking on.

To keep my local residents informed about projects in their neighbourhood, I put together a twice-yearly newsletter and personally fund and deliver it to almost 12,500 households in division seven. I’ll be out delivering my August/September Newsletter very soon, so if you see me out and about, say G’day and I’ll be happy to have a chat. You can also follow me online on Facebook by searching for ‘Cr Ted Hungerford’.

Safer crossing for kids A new school crossing supervisor has been appointed by the state government for Woombye State School, bolstering road safety for local families. Minister for transport and main roads Mark Bailey says the recruit will join close to 2000 supervisors helping keep Queensland’s youngest safe. “Many families grow up knowing their local school’s crossing supervisor for years and they do such an important job getting our kids to and from school safely,” he says.

Local winners in Tripadvisor awards The Sunshine Coast hinterland is proving a popular destination in 2020 after success at the recent Tripadvisor 2020 Travellers’ Choice Awards.

The Falls Montville (pictured) came first in the best small hotels category, and fourth in the romance category for hotels.

Owner Alan Dryden says the recognition is pleasing. “We’ve done comprehensive refurbishments and upgrades to the property this last year.

“The Falls Montville has never looked or felt better.”

A message from Fiona Simpson Member for Maroochydore

My 91-year-old mum, who lives with me, inspires me every day. It has been hard not hugging her since February when COVID-19 spread, but it is a small price to pay when others have lost businesses, jobs and, most tragically, their lives.

So I have a vested interest in keeping my mum and all elderly and vulnerable Queenslanders safe.

Throw the book at rule breakers but let’s give businesses a fair go with

Avocado Grove B&B in Flaxton also claimed fifth place for top B&Bs and inns.

consistency. Otherwise we lose the job makers and risk losing a generation of young people from the opportunity to work to becoming welfare dependent.

As my mum wisely says: “Change the things you can and don’t sweat what you can’t.”

The business environment is uncertain, but we can change the red tape burdens for business and shake up training so people can get skills for where the jobs are.

Saving lives and livelihoods shouldn’t be mutually exclusive, but it needs new thinking and commitment to reform. This is what I’m passionate about.

Yandina Community Gardens’ Emily Boyd (centre) with Ted O’Brien

Waste not, says local group WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

Y

andina Community Gardens is leading the way in sustainability, piloting a three-way organic waste management system for the

town.

Garden food waste program project officer Emily Boyd says the program will run for 12 months.

“Our aim is to divert as much food waste from landfill as possible,” Ms Boyd says. “We’re picking up all the food waste that is generated from local businesses

such as cafes, restaurants and fruit shops and composting it back at our site.

“We’ve surveyed all of the Yandina food businesses in town and we have eight businesses already signed up to the program.”

Those businesses will separate regular plastic and landfill waste from compostable organic waste and Yandina Community Gardens will do the rest.

“We have three different compost systems to process this waste – that’s the

worm farm, our hot aerobic compost system and our black solider fly larvae system,” Ms Boyd says.

“We imagine a world where none of this food waste is actually getting wasted, in fact it’s getting turned into a fantastic fertiliser and soil amendment we can sell back to the local Yandina community and use at the gardens as well.”

The program has been given $34,000 in federal funding. Federal member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien says $20,000 is going to the composting program, with $14,000 for a black soldier fly waste management system.

“Without the funding we wouldn’t have been able to kick start this program, which is a vision for the Yandina community we’ve had for a long time,” he says. “I particularly love that there will be three different composting options on display for the public to learn about reducing and composting organic waste in their own homes.”

The 2018 National Waste Report revealed between 2016 and 2017 about 6.7 megatonnes of organic waste went to landfill in Australia, and 14 per cent of that was food.

OzHarvest fast facts: It is estimated that food waste costs the Australian economy $20 billion each year.

More than five million tonnes of food ends up as landfill – that’s enough to fill 9000 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Getting fire ready With emergency services gearing up for bushfire season, which officially began on August 1, local firefighters had the opportunity to improve their leadership skills for the front line.

The University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) led the mission-critical leadership training for local rural fire brigades, with psychologist Dr Scott Gayton revealing five lessons for environments where the consequence of error can be fatal.

“I personally found the course to be stimulating and thought provoking,” Bli Bli and District Rural Fire Brigade first officer Nigel Kemp says.

“It was very relevant to our organisation in the aspect of leadership in the volunteer world of the rural fire brigade.

“Scott’s enthusiasm and knowledge of his subject enabled us to have some good hands-on discussions on various topics within the realms of leadership.”

The training comes as Queenslanders are urged to prepare their homes for the fire season.

Fire and emergency services minister Craig Crawford says complacency is not an option. “No matter where you live, whether it’s a rural or urban area, you need to have a plan in place in case bushfire strikes.”

A colourful past WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

I

t is a store with the unusual origin – it was once in a pink shed in the middle of a cow paddock. But now, That Shop for Her calls Bli Bli home.

Anthea Nicholas was living in western Queensland and looking for a way to spend her days while her husband was

at work when an old watermelon shed on their property sparked an idea.

“I was bored out west and my husband decided to do up the fallingdown honesty stop for watermelons,” she says.

“It was then a pink tin shed with a

chandelier in the middle of a cow paddock – literally in the middle.”

Not far from Chinchilla in the small town of Brigalow, the shop offered a one-stop ladies’ outfit destination.

“I would also have people drive 10 to 12 hours to visit,” Ms Nicholas says.

“It was along a main road and visible from the street – you couldn’t miss it.”

The time came for Ms Nicholas to move to the Sunshine Coast for her son’s schooling and she was renovating an old sushi bar into the new store.

“We were due to open three days prior to our lockdown, so we decided to wait rather than just open the door and have to close.”

Since opening in June, Ms Nicolas says locals are “loving it”.

“My shop in Bli Bli has been well received, people not wanting to go to the Plaza as it’s where the tourists will go.”

“Ladies have said they are thrilled to have a ‘go to’ shop where they know they can get whatever they need.”

The store is also a Sunshine Coast exclusive stockist for Helena Christensen headwear for ladies undergoing cancer treatment.

Ms Nicholas says the shop offers “old-fashioned service” and she is looking forward to meeting the locals, and visitors, as time goes on.

Screen time To celebrate Seniors Week, Sunshine Coast Libraries is hosting a drive-in screening of the classic film To Sir, With Love at Eumundi Showgrounds on August 15. Popcorn will be available but bring your own food and drinks. Live music will also play from 5pm. Registrations are essential via sunshinecoast.spydus.com under the events tab.

Yandina Hall upgrade Yandina’s Cooloolabin Hall recently received more than $100,000 in improvements. The hall has been upgraded for use as a temporary evacuation centre and as a temporary base for emergency responders. It now also has a ready water supply for fire fighters with two 20,000-litre water tanks.

One tank is dedicated for fire-fighting use.

POLICE BRIEFS With break and enters on the rise in the region, Sunshine Coast Police are warning residents, including those in multi-storey buildings, to be vigilant.

“The majority of break-ins are opportunistic, especially when there is evidence of quick and easy entry and unsecured valuables are visible,” Senior Sergeant Brad Grant says. “In a multiresidential complex, a lapse in security of communal areas… compromises the security of the whole building.

“Many high-rise break-ins occur through open or unlocked balcony doors – living several floors up doesn’t offer security from intruders.”

Coolum police officer-in-charge Hardy Wirth says break-ins are of biggest concern to the community right now.

“We understand we live a beachside lifestyle but it’s an important reminder to make sure when you leave you lock your house and car and remove your wallet from sight.”

New Eumundi laneway a step in the right direction

Awards for Bli Bli House

B

li Bli House Riverside Retreat has taken out first place in the romance category for hotels in Australia in the Tripadvisor 2020 Travellers’ Choice Awards.

The retreat also came second for best small hotels category in Australia.

Bli Bli House Owner Phil Greenbury says he is honoured to receive the accolades, thanking guests who took the time to write reviews.

“It certainly has been a trying year and to have received two awards has been so encouraging to our team,” he says.

“We always try to move heaven and earth to give every guest an amazing experience to remember and our efforts certainly have paid off.

“We love what we do and enjoy having people come from so many places to experience the five-star luxury and charm that we have to offer at Bli Bli House.”

Eumundi’s littlest locals and keen market visitors will be able to take a step in the right direction towards free play and supporting homegrown businesses thanks to an upgraded pathway in the heart of the town.

Division 10 councillor David Law says the $10,000 path upgrade at Lonergan Lane includes a new coloured concrete pathway plus minor landscaping works everyone in the community can enjoy.

“We are pleased to deliver this upgrade that will benefit market-goers and stallholders,” Cr Law says.

“I’m really pleased to see the markets have reopened, which is great for the local economy.

“On non-market days, children and their parents can also utilise this safe laneway to access the popular Dick Caplick Park playground.”

Eumundi Chamber of Commerce treasurer John Stone says visitors will not have to contend with stormwater or mud on the pathway after rain. “[These works] have made such a difference to the amenity and

Eumundi Chamber president David Perez, Cr David Law and Eumundi Chamber treasurer John Stone usability of this area,” Mr Stone says.

Cr Law says works began on the path after the markets were temporarily closed due to COVID-19.

“I hope these works inspire nearby residents to make use of local pathways and daily exercise without the reliance on personal car transport, which contributes to achieving our vision of being Australia’s most sustainable region, healthy, smart, creative,” he says.

The project was funded under council’s capital works program.

Much-loved shed mural here to stay WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA Mr Cavanagh says the story of the mural began with a carton of beer and a goal to share his art with his community.

“A friend suggested that the shed would be a great spot for a mural, so I met with the owner at the time and before I knew it, I’d finished the mural and paid for the privilege with a carton,” he says.

“In 2011, I gave the mural a 10th birthday present and repainted the whole thing because the weather had taken its toll.

“I’ve also had to repaint parts that were defaced with graffiti, much to the dismay of the public who, it turns out, have a deep passion for the artwork.

“Personally, I couldn’t be happier that the mural is going to stay in its original position for the foreseeable future,” Mr Cavanagh adds.

Unfortunately, just days after work began, the mural was graffitied for the third time.

John O’Leary Yandina Chamber of Commerce president

September marks an important milestone for Yandina.

One-hundred-and-fifty years ago, Yandina was gazetted as a town, making it the first in what is now the Sunshine Coast Regional Council.

To mark this occasion in the long history of habitation of the area, Yandina Chamber of Commerce will conduct a ceremony to bury a time capsule.

The mayor and local politicians will attend, along with invited guests, while following the protocols of social distancing.

Yandina has a rich heritage with an eye to the future. We have a vibrant village atmosphere in the CBD with growing estates and industrial parks further afield.

We are certainly conscious of our past, but the future is where we are heading.

With the current turmoil, Yandina is an oasis of calm where a coffee, a walk and window shopping are always in vogue.

New classes offer a creative outlet in Mudjimba Mandala art therapy at North Shore Community Centre is alive and well, supporting people with mental health through the therapeutic outlet of painting.

Pictured is Rosyln, an attendee who thoroughly enjoyed her first class.

“I’ve never painted before,” she says.

The new class runs every Wednesday from 10am to 11.30am.

The centre also hosts a free Health My Way program, helping locals learn essential digital health literacy skills.

This is critical to ensure people of all ages can make informed, confident choices when it comes to supporting

Help Share the Dignity at Woolworths Having access to female sanitary items is a privilege many Sunshine Coasters take for granted. Now, Australian charity Share the Dignity is hoping locals will get on board with its latest Dignity Drive.

Coast volunteer Janet Thornton says COVID-19 is making it even more difficult for women doing it tough to access sanitary products. “The need for period products remains,” Ms Thornton says.

“Over the past few months we have been distributing to local charities and donating sanitary products to public

houses in lockdown in Melbourne.”

As part of the organisation’s latest drive, donation boxes have been set up outside Woolworths stores from Beerwah up to Gympie.

“What we are asking is for people to buy extra product to put them in the box,” Ms Thornton says The charity accepts pads, tampons, menstrual cups, period underwear and reusable pads as well as incontinence products – all in their original packaging.

The Dignity Drive runs until August 31.

WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

F

or some of us, just one minute of skipping at the gym is more than enough, but imagine skipping for 12 hours.

That is the achievement of strength and conditioning coach Jamie Milne recently, when he broke the Guinness World Record for most double under skips.

On August 1 in his Warana gym, 22,222 skips, 12 hours and two very sore legs later, he had done it.

A desire to end his relationship with alcohol inspired the record attempt.

“I gave up alcohol 12 months ago and I will keep it going,” Mr Milne says.

“I realised two things – one, that it was becoming problematic, and two, that it didn’t fit with my profession of being a fitness professional; it went against what I do.”

“I thought, surely there has got to be another way to find stress relief and get the same outcome without drinking.”

So, Mr Milne turned to what he knows best, a fitness challenge. “It was a way to train and focus on

something and channel my energy,” he says.

“It gave me awareness there are other ways to deal with life.”

With the previous record set at 20,000 double under skips, the challenge was on to better it.

“It was actually very uneventful,” Mr Milne says “We stuck to the timing and our strategy.

“Essentially it is two skips per one jump.”

Mr Milne says as the days wore on after the challenge he became “physically a bit broken”, sporting some serious blisters and aching feet.

Having an unofficial world record in 2014 for completing 4,267 burpee broad jumps, Mr Milne says he still has gas in the tank for another record attempt.

“I’d like to do one more,” he says.

“I’ll have a think about it and see what I come up with.”

In the meantime, he hopes his efforts with help raise awareness of alcohol use. “I want to show you can curb the drinking. If I can do it, anyone can.”

Foodworks Birtinya has closed its doors permanently after going into liquidation in late July.

It is understood competition from a major supermarket left Abid Australia $600,000 in debt.

Owner Imran Bandi says, “it is with saddened hearts and a tear in our eye” the store is closed. “We want to give a huge shout-out to everyone near and far who has continued to shop with us and supported us through these challenging times, but unfortunately, we can no longer continue,” Mr Bandi says.

“We would like to say thank you to all our regulars, our customers, our beloved employees, and of course the Birtinya community. It has been our pleasure to know and have served you over the past years.”

The store opened on August 31, 2018 on the ground level of Moko apartments.

A notice was given at a general meeting on July 28, with Paul Nogueira of Worrells Solvency appointed as liquidator.

Art prize announced

Business is a real treat for these sisters WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA Losing their jobs during the height of the coronavirus pandemic has inspired two Sunshine Coast teenagers to delve into their entrepreneurial capabilities.

Sisters Kallan, 17 and Brynn Larkings, 15, with encouragement from their mother Saori Forrington, are now distributing dog

Teenage entrepreneurs Brynn and Kallan Larkings

treats across the region and country.

Their business venture, Doggy Donuts, is quickly becoming a success.

“Kallan finished school last year and was planning to have a gap year and travel this year,” Ms Forrington says. “Brynn is home schooled and in Year 10.

“When they lost their jobs in March, I thought, it’s a good time to do something and also to be positive on social media.”

Ms Forrington is allergic to dogs, meaning the family cannot own one, so this is the perfect opportunity for the sisters to interact with animals.

As a self-employed hair stylist, Ms Forrington has experience running a business, but while she is giving advice to her daughters where they need, she is letting them run the show.

“Kallan is doing all the social media, interacting with customers. Byrnn is sales, she processes orders, invoices, stock and packaging.”

The girls source natural, preservative free treats from a supplier, then distribute them through their website and Instagram page @doggydonuts.au.

“A lot of people are looking for a healthier option for their pets,” Ms Forrington says.“The packaging is recyclable as well.”

With Kallan planning on beginning her university studies next year, Ms Forrington hopes this business venture will allow the girls to continue earning an income.

Finalists of the Sunshine Coast Art Prize 2020 will be announced this month and showcased in an exhibition at Caloundra Regional Gallery and online from October 16 to December 6.

This year there were 711 entries.

Winners will be announced on at the end of the exhibition.

Win for Oaks Resort Oaks Oasis Sunshine Coast Resort in Caloundra has placed second in Australia in the Top Hotels for Families category at the recent Tripadvisor 2020 Travellers’ Choice Awards.

“This year has been incredibly tough for our region’s tourism industry, so to receive accolades like these is a real morale boost,” Visit Sunshine Coast Interim CEO Craig Davidson says.

Jerry the kangaroo still recovering An eastern grey kangaroo, named Jerry, was admitted to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hopsital last month after his mother was hit and killed by a car.

“We estimate Jerry was around eight months old when he came into the hospital,” Dr Ludo Valenza says.

“During the health check, we discovered that the joey had in fact been shot, the X-ray confirming two pellets were still lodged in his body.

“The hospital is vital to the survival of animals like Jerry. Without treatment, he would have suffered for a long time.”

POLICE BRIEFS A Landsborough man has been remanded in custody after investigations led to police charging him for a string of break and enters on August 5.

It is alleged the 23-year-old man reversed a white Toyota HiAce into the glass doors of Garricks Camera House on Plaza Parade in Maroochydore at 3.20am, before entering the store and smashing multiple glass cabinets, stealing cameras and equipment. An hour later he used the same

van to smash the glass doors of Sunshine Coast Mowers in Caloundra West.

The man will face court on two counts of break and enter and one count each of possession of tainted property (registration plates), possession of a dangerous drug (cannabis) and driving unaccompanied on a learner’s licence.

He appeared in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on August 6 and will reappear on August 27.

Trio feeds the Lightning

Bursary to help students enter the workforce Tom Loane and MP Andrew Wallace

Sarah and Emma Hayes with Meagan Kellert (middle).

I

dentical twins Emma and Sarah Hayes are celebrating the growing success of their business, Deliciously Clean Eats, as they cater for the Sunshine Coast Lightning netball team.

The 27-year-olds from Currimundi, who graduated from the University of the Sunshine Coast in 2016 with nutrition and dietetic degrees, started the business with entrepreneur and recipe book author Meagan Kellert in 2017.

“The idea was to create good food that

overcomes the stigma that healthy food tastes bad,” Emma says. “We wanted to make it easy for people to access that food, then educate them about portion sizes and meal ideas.

“We had done some catering early on for Lightning players, while they were travelling, and started as regular suppliers on game day at USC Stadium in 2019.”

And the players’ favourites: “I’d say our Mexican feast and signature brownies,” Emma says.

WILLS, INHERITANCE AND DECEASE ESTATE LAWYERS FOR 40 YEARS GEOFF LYONS

Students in the Fisher electorate can benefit from a $1000 bursary to help them enter the workforce as part of federal member for Fisher Andrew Wallace’s Ready, Set, Go! Bursary.

Mr Wallace says he is pleased with the success of first-round winner Tom Loane, an aspiring 16-year-old sparky from Wurtulla.

“Tom bought a full bag of the latest tools of his trade with this bursary and they have already opened doors for him,” Mr Wallace says.

“Tom tells me he was able to learn and do much more during his recent work experience because he had his own tools, and that is going to help give him an edge when it comes to applying

for an apprenticeship next year.

“I continue to hope this program will show that despite the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, a person leaving education on the Sunshine Coast doesn’t need to go anywhere to build the career of their dreams or start their own business.

“They can do it right here and they can have it all right here in the community they call home.”

Eligible students who are under the age of 25 and are in their final year of school, university or TAFE study and ready to begin an apprenticeship next year can apply at andrewwallace mp.com.au/readysetgo until 5pm on August 17.

Wellbeing the key for Caloundra students

S

tudents at Caloundra Christian College are enjoying a new facility where they can meet with friends and engage in social activity.

The Student Wellbeing Hub, or The Hub as it is known, is a relaxed place for students of all ages.

Wellbeing staff Linda White and Jacqui Vos manage The Hub, supporting students with a smile and a cup of hot chocolate.

“A focus on wellbeing is not just for people going through tough times – wellbeing is for everyone,” Ms Vos says.

“At CalCC we don’t just want to see our students survive school, we want to see them flourish in all areas of their lives.”

Students were involved in sanding, painting and putting together flat-pack furniture for The Hub, which federal member for Fisher Andrew Wallace officially opened in July.

“When you’re at school you are there to learn, but none of us can do well at anything, including learning, if we don’t feel healthy and happy,” Mr Wallace says, adding the federal government contributed $20,000 for the facility under the Local Schools Community Fund.

Locals can donate any pre-loved and well-kept board games or card games for students to use in The Hub. Contact Linda White on chappy@calcc.qld.edu.au.

Ursula Starkovsky Glasshouse Country Chamber of Commerce president

The Glasshouse Country Chamber of Commerce will be holding the annual meeting on August 25 at the Beerwah Golf Club. It will be a different type of meeting with a maximum of 70 people and social distancing, no buffet and a lot of sanitising hands. Our world has changed, but we all do our bit to hopefully keep this virus under check.

Our business community has done a fantastic job to adjust and re-invent itself.

Everybody is doing it tough, some businesses are fighting for life and there are some that will not survive this crisis, which is really sad.

The chamber is working with and representing local businesses as well as some local community groups to create vibrant and lively hinterland townships.

We stretch from Beerburrum to Glenview, Mooloolah Valley and Peachester Ranges.

If you have an ABN, run a small or large business, a home business or an online business, we would love to hear from you. You can contact us via our website glasshousecountrychamber.com.au or our Facebook page by searching for ‘Glasshouse Country Chamber’.

Help Share the Dignity at Woolworths Having access to female sanitary items is a privilege many Sunshine Coasters take for granted.

Now, Australian charity Share the Dignity is hoping locals will get on board with its latest Dignity Drive.

Coast volunteer Janet Thornton says COVID-19 is making it even more difficult for women doing it tough to access sanitary products.

“The need for period products remains,” Ms Thornton says.

“Over the past few months we have been distributing to local charities and

donating sanitary products to public houses in lockdown in Melbourne.”

As part of the organisation’s latest drive, donation boxes have been set up outside Woolworths stores from Beerwah up to Gympie.

“What we are asking is for people to buy extra product to put them in the box,” Ms Thornton says The charity accepts pads, tampons, menstrual cups, period underwear and reusable pads as well as incontinence products – all in their original packaging.

The Dignity Drive runs until August 31.

with MWP’s man in the water

Okay groovers, the run of waves has to wind down at some point. But you must admit it has been a good run of late.

That said, I am sure some of you on Sunday might find a few cheeky sliders up towards Sunshine Beach.

STOP PRESS. Someone taking a random picture on Sunday afternoon captured a whale breaching in the background off Moffat beach. To my mind, it is too early, as it must be heading north and they normally travel further out around Moreton.

Maybe he/she was lost? God knows I have taken a few wrong turns in my life.

Just sayin’!

Have a great weekend peeps.
