FEATURE STORY

Tracey Morris and daughter Annie Jones Images: Tracy Naughton

Finding their voice Child Protection Week is starting on September 6, and local advocacy groups are reminding child victims of sexual assault that it is safe to speak out. Words: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane

T

racey Morris knows all too well the immeasurable pain that ripples around a family impacted by the sexual abuse of a child.

The Sunshine Coast mother of four’s life changed forever when her eldest daughter, Annie Jones, disclosed she was being sexually abused by her stepfather.

Annie was 15 years old and Tracey had been married to her husband for 10 years.

Despite there being no obvious red flags, Tracey innately believed her daughter and did not hesitate to throw her husband out of their Sydney home and seek help. It is an outcome that is not as common as you would think.

With 80 per cent of sexual abuse perpetrators known to the children they are abusing, there is often a complicated array of emotional and financial circumstances that prevent people from reporting the abuse.

Realising this during the incredibly challenging and taxing three-year criminal case that saw Annie’s abuser

sentenced to more than 17 years in jail, Tracey and her daughter joined forces to found No More Fake Smiles.

The name of the registered charity was derived from Annie’s lived experience of plastering on a fake smile every day during the two years she was abused by her step-father, covering up her pain and suffering from everyone, including the rest of the family living under the same roof.

No More Fake Smiles aims to give a voice to child victims of sexual abuse and empower them to speak out and report, while also removing the stigma around child abuse in our society.

The charity provides therapy, support and healing for victims of child sexual abuse and their families, who often are overlooked by existing organisations.

“The abuse may have happened to Annie, but myself and her siblings have all gone through three years of counselling alongside her to deal with the trauma that was inflicted by just one person’s selfish actions,” Tracey says.

“We know how important it is for the primary caregiver to also be supported as they need the strength to be able to support their child through a legal process that is heavily focused on the offender and not on the child.”

Tracey says they are working to

“Around 380 young people across the nation reached out to share their experience of abuse” increase their capacity to assist those who are reaching out for help. In the first week of the charity’s official launch in September 2019, around 380 young people across the nation reached out to share their experience of abuse, with some disclosing for the first time after

being inspired and empowered by seeing Annie’s story.

Demand for support services continues to increase, with the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics, released on July 9, 2020, showing our nation has experienced eight consecutive years of growth in the number of reported child sexual abuse cases.

“It is a pandemic of a very different kind that has gone unnoticed within our society for far too long,” Tracey says. “Even though the numbers are growing, child sexual abuse is one of the most underreported crimes.

Tracey adds that even if the case makes it to court a conviction is unlikely with “only one per cent of cases resulting in the offender serving a jail sentence.

These kids need our help now more than ever.”

The Reported Victims of Crime ABS statistics show in 2019, 2352 young women aged 19 and under reported sexual abuse in Queensland, compared with 481 young men in the same age myweeklypreview.com.au

CHILD PROTECTION WEEK ONLINE INITIATIVE The Sunshine Coast Family Support Collective is also taking its Child Protection Week event online this year, with a mini-series of ‘Pint-sized Press Conferences’ featuring children interviewing local sporting and community champions to learn about ambition, courage and overcoming challenges. Among them is surfing champion Keely Andrew, 91.9 Sea FM presenter Heidi Latcham (pictured), Ninja Warrior Matt Filippi and Triballink director Kerry Neill. The theme for the online event is Every Child Deserves a Champion.

2833 of those cases were in Queensland.

25 per cent of child sexual assault reports on the Sunshine Coast were rejected in the 10 years to 2018.

Only one per cent of child sexual abuse court cases result in a jail sentence.

bracket. Of these, 616 cases were victims aged nine years or younger.

Last year, there were 14,760 reported sexual abuse cases of children aged 19 years and younger around Australia and as many as one in five cases reported to police in Queensland are deemed as “unfounded” and rejected due to lack of evidence or an inability to get the child victim to give a statement against the perpetrator.

Police statistics have revealed the Sunshine Coast Council area is among one of the three areas nationally with the highest “unfounded” rates, with 25 per cent of sexual assaults reported to police being rejected in the 10 years to 2018 due to lack of evidence to prosecute.

With Child Protection Week running from September 6 to 12, No More Fake Smiles is launching a national campaign to raise awareness as well as $700,000 in seven days to provide support to 700 child victims of sexual abuse.

With the organisation’s major annual fundraiser being cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, No More Fake Smiles has shifted its focus online. Every cent raised will go to the No More Fake Smiles Mental Health Program, which assists both primary and secondary victims of child sexual abuse access to appropriate recovery therapies, including traditional counselling, art therapy and equine therapy.

“We believe people need to connect with their therapy and this is best achieved through choice of programs and therapists,” Tracey says.

“Therapy is not a one size fits all and there are so many options available. We assist victims to source the best therapy for their healing process. It costs $500 to provide a course of therapy for one child, but every cent counts towards us reaching our goal.

“The more we raise, the more victims we can help on their healing journey, so they can go on to live happy and fulfilling lives, free from the trauma that comes from being a victim of child sexual abuse.”

FAST FACTS

Looking back.

Did you know?

Life on the green In March 1919, a meeting was held to form a bowls club at Buderim, and G Burrows, who was elected secretary, made some of his land available for a bowling green. By 1952 a green was under construction in Elizabeth Street and was opened for play in 1955. On June 5, 1933, the Nambour Bowls Club was officially opened. In February 1932, Palmwoods Bowls Club opened, followed by the Maleny Bowls Club in 1938. Maroochydore’s Swan Bowls Club was formed in 1936 and it was still in its infancy when in August 1937 a meeting resulted in the formation of the Maroochy District Bowling Association. Coolum Beach Bowls Club was established on May 29, 1960.

BY THE NUMBERS

Do you remember?

Because sweet treats were in short supply during the years after the war, this amazingly colourful bake was welcomed with open arms when it burst onto the foodie scene in 1950. Made with tinned goods, pineapple upside down cake was an easy thing to whip up with your butter and sugar rations, and could make its way around a big family if sliced thinly enough.

If you can’t wait to pop every air-filled pocket the minute you handle a piece of bubble wrap, imagine how irresistible it would be if it were covering your walls?

Engineer Al Fielding and Swiss inventor Marc Chavannes probably didn’t consider that when, in 1957, they invented bubble wrap while trying to create a textured wallpaper by sealing two shower curtains together to trap air bubbles.

1913

Lee Redmond, a woman from Utah who has not cut her nails since 1979, had grown and carefully manicured them to reach a total length of 8.65 metres, and was listed in the Guinness World Records as the world’s longest fingernails. Sadly, in February 2009, she lost them in a car crash.

On March 12, 1913 the Governor-General’s wife, Lady Denman, announced that Canberra was the name of Australia’s new national capital. Just as construction of the city got underway, Canberra’s development was severely delayed by both world wars and the Great Depression.

BATTLE OVER LOCAL SURF RANCH The World Surf League says the majority of Coast locals support its surf ranch. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

I

n response to division nine councillor Maria Suarez’s opposing views to the Surf Ranch proposal (MWP August 28), this week we present an alternative viewpoint from Consolidated Properties and World Surf League: Consolidated Properties and World Surf League put forward an application to the state government six months ago to have the site declared as a priority development area.

Division nine councillor Maria Suarez says, “The Coolum West site is some of the lowest lying and most flood-affected land on the Sunshine Coast.” However, WSL general manager Andrew Stark believes

many people are in favour of the project for Coolum West. “Seventy-three per cent of the Sunshine Coast community support the project proceeding and we have spoken with hundreds of local businesses that want to see our development succeed,” he says.

“We know there are concerns about flooding. And we know it’s on us to find a solution to the flooding issue. “If we can’t, the project won’t proceed and we wouldn’t want it to.”

Mr Stark says the company is engaging one of Australia’s pre-eminent flood specialist engineers, associate professor Trevor Johnson, to advise on how to mitigate potential flooding.

“Having worked on the Maroochydore River floodplain since the 1980s and analysed the flood impacts of this site for the last five years, I am confident that flood impacts can be mitigated,” Assoc Prof Johnson says.

Consolidated Properties Group CEO Don O’Rorke says it is not possible to have a wave pool and residential component at different locations.

“We have always said that residential and tourism components are required to cross-subsidise the wave pool development,” he says. “By collocating these developments, there are significant construction cost efficiencies that enable the overall commercial viability of the project.”

“Collocation of residential and the tourism components also allows for the return over 75 per cent (375 hectares) of the site to public open space through the dedication of untouched riparian wetlands, regenerated green open space and public waterways, including linking Noosa National Park to the Coolum Conservation Park and preservation of the existing tree corridor,” Mr O’Rorke says.

BALI POSTPONES PLAN TO LET TOURISTS BACK A rise in coronavirus cases has the Indonesian government reassessing its plan to reopen the tourist destination to visitors. WORDS: AAP.

T

he Indonesian island of Bali has postponed a plan to reopen the country’s biggest tourism hub to international tourists on September 11, its governor says, due to the rising level of coronavirus cases reported in the South-East Asian country.

Indonesia has reported more than 155,000 coronavirus infections and 6759 deaths as of last Monday, the highest number of fatalities in South-East Asia.

Authorities halted international tourism in early April as the outbreak picked up pace.

Governor Wayan Koster said in a statement that plans to open up Bali to foreign tourists were postponed because the “situation in Indonesia isn’t conducive to allow international tourists to visit the country, including Bali.”

A decision on when foreign tourism could resume would depend on the “assessment of the situation in and outside of the country”, Gov Koster said in the statement signed last month.

“Bali cannot fail because it could adversely impact the image of Indonesia, including Bali, in the eyes of the world,

COVID IN INDONESIA

which could prove counter-productive to the recovery of travel,” he added.

Tourism is Bali’s main source of income and travel restrictions due to the pandemic have hammered the local economy.

The occupancy rate at Bali’s starred hotels plunged to 2.07 per cent in May, according to Bali’s statistics bureau, from

62.55 per cent in December before the pandemic hit and down from 51.56 per cent in May 2019.

Bali opened up travel to local tourists on July 31, and Gov Koster estimated 2300 to 2500 tourists came onto the island each day from then until August 14.

Bali has reported 4576 coronavirus infections and 52 deaths as of last week.

Bali is a province of Indonesia and the westernmost of the Lesser Sunda Islands. East of Java and west of Lombok, the province includes a few smaller neighbouring islands.

On Wednesday, August 26, Indonesia’s Health Ministry announced 2306 new confirmed COVID-19 cases. The total number of infections nationwide is 160,165.

According to data released by the ministry on Wednesday, 86 more people have died of the disease, bringing the death toll to 6944.

Bali provincial Governor Wayan Koster has said, “Australia, whose citizens travel the most to Bali, is only planning to allow its citizens to travel in 2021.”

Indonesia is home to about 270 million people. Even if, as eminent epidemiologists suggest, Indonesia has one million cases of coronavirus – eight times the official tally of cases – it is considered to have performed relatively well in controlling the spread of the disease.

A quirky Sunny Coast cancer charity is calling on the community to support its final ride for Bloomhill.

S

unshine Coast motorcycle group Girl Torque’s annual Bras N Bikes ride has funded Bloomhill Cancer Care to support 250 people with cancer and now its organisers are calling it a day.

On October 18, the Final Encore: Bras N Bikes Last Lap will see motorcycle riders don all things pink and dress up their bikes as a mark of respect, support and hope for people living with breast cancer.

Held during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the event will help raise awareness of the fact that breast cancer is the most

prevalent cancer diagnosis for Sunshine Coast women.

Bloomhill Cancer Care CEO Chris Franck says Girl Torque’s contribution to cancer survivorship on the Sunshine Coast had been valuable “beyond words”.

“Bras N Bikes has been incredibly effective – I think it shows people just love having fun! Don a hot pink bra, get out there and have a ball,” he says.

“Thank you Girl Torque, to all your business supporters and the committed volunteers from both your organisation and Bloomhill, who have made Bras N

Bikes into a wonderful tradition.”

Bloomhill Cancer Care director of advancement Sarah Wetton says it’s more important now than ever to support people living with cancer.

“It’s essential that we remember, that even though the COVID-19 pandemic has overshadowed so much, cancer has not stopped,” she says.

Bras N Bikes organiser Judy NoakesCarroll says the ride has been hugely successful thanks to sponsors and the biker community and her team is planning for number 19 to be the best ever.

“In our first year we delivered a whopping $1200 and it was gratefully received – but last year that number was $21,000!

“It all started soon after Girl Torque formed – one of the girls was a volunteer at Bloomhill. We were all keen about our bikes and thought it’d be great to get a charity ride together. It’s emotional, thinking it’s coming to an end – but we really want to go out with a bang.”

Bras N Bikes Last Lap will depart from Yandina Bowls Club on Sunday, October 18.

To mark Spinal Cord Awareness Week, September 2–8, we share Currimundi man Darron Shield’s story.

On a sunny Thursday 18 years ago, triathlete Darron Shields set off on his bike and in a life-altering moment, went from being a triathlete to a paraplegic as a result of a collision with a car. He sustained a T5 spinal cord injury (SCI) that resulted in paraplegia.

Ever the optimist with a zest for life, Mr Shields refused to take his new circumstances lying down. He returned to university to gain a degree in sports science. An inspirational athlete who refused to inhabit the ‘victim’ label, in 2010, eight years after the accident, he made a triumphant return to triathlon as a para-triathlete.

Mr Shields achieved his goal of completing the Noosa Olympic distance triathlon within 10 years of his accident and over the last 18 years, has aimed to complete a milestone each year and focus on what can be achieved after a SCI. He has since completed 12 para-triathlons and lives a positive and fulfilled life.

HAPPY DAD, HAPPY KIDS, HAPPY FAMILY

D

ads who make their mental health a priority are happier, more supportive and more present at home.

A client recently told me when he’s off track it feels like his children and partner are off track as well. That’s why staying on track with our wellbeing is not just good for ourselves, but it’s good for our family too.

We all struggle from time to time. And new struggles always pop up – that’s life. To add to life’s pressures, COVID-19 is definitely causing a lot of added strain on families right now and I see that in my private practice. I’m hearing more dads say they’re struggling to stay calm and connected with their kids – with some resorting to unhelpful thinking and drinking more than usual.

In fact, a report released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics early this year stated almost twice as many adults were experiencing feelings associated with anxiety, such as nervousness or restlessness as compared to 2019.

The reality is, it’s natural to feel stressed, anxious or bored right now and it’s easy to fall into the trap of leaning on unhealthy coping strategies to try and alleviate these feelings. However, there are healthier options to consider.

Just like a poor wheel alignment wears your tyres quicker – it’s the same for your wellbeing. If you’re off track with your career or health, or dealing with added stresses, it’ll likely have a knock-on effect on your relationships.

With Father’s Day approaching, now is a good time to check-in with dad around his wellbeing. Let him know how much you appreciate him – we all want to feel valued.

And here’s a big tip if you’re concerned about his health: ask about ‘healthy eating’ or ‘fitness’ rather than ‘dieting’ or talk about handling ‘stress’ rather than ‘mental health’.

Using the right approach can make all the difference to how people respond. Then offer to brainstorm some new ideas with him – he’ll love that.

If dad does need some extra support, let him know asking for it is a sign of strength, not weakness.

SPRING INTO COLOUR

C

olour has more influence upon us than we can possibly imagine.

What do we really know about colour? How do we see colour?

What does colour mean to us? Are we comfortable in the colours we wear or use in our environment? How do we respond to various colours? What are our favourite colours? What colour do we reject? The colours are talking to us and saying something about us.

Most importantly, colour has the power to heal. Each colour has its own strength and vibration and different colours can be used to balance the body’s physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energies and restore it to natural vitality.

Bringing more colour into your life adds character and vitality to your personality.

When you let colour into your life, you let in creativity. With creativity comes fun; with fun, exhilaration, with exhilaration comes success, leading to happiness and abundance.

If you are feeling sceptical, I suggest you try it for yourself. Get a set of T-shirts in the eight colours of the rainbow and when you wear each one, you will notice that you feel different with each particular colour.

Red is about energy and strength. It uplifts the spirit and enhances feelings of love and passion. Orange stimulates joy, confidence and courage and is excellent for depression. Yellow encourages optimism, cheerfulness, humour, laughter and detachment. Green creates balance and harmony and enhances feelings of freedom and space. Turquoise has a refreshing effect and increases awareness for changes to occur in your life. Blue is great for rest and relaxation. Violet aids mind expansion (creativity) and helps eliminate unwanted patterns of behaviour. Magenta encourages feelings of letting go and love of self.

Take the time to think about your colour choice and reflect on your feelings for the colour.

Dare to be different. Think colour and you are on your way. Make spring this year a colourful one. *Chromotherapy uses the power of colour to assist in wellness.

10 Things You Need To Know Before You Buy A Mattress You don’t buy a new bed every day. So you want to get it right.

Especially when you can easily spend $1,000, $2,000, and even $5,000 or more at a department or specialty bedding store (that is, if you don’t know better).

With so many different brands, different prices, and so-called discounts, it can be very confusing to know which mattress to choose. Here are 10 things you need to know before you buy a new mattress.

ONE: Same Mattress, Different Name Have you wondered why no two store sells the same mattress?

Although they look similar, the name at one department store is different to another, which is different to the chain speciality bedding stores.

The truth is, most mattresses in Australia are made by 3 companies. But, to make it diffi cult for you to compare mattresses (and prices) from one store to another, the manufacturer puts a different label on the mattress depending on which store is selling it.

So, the only difference between the $1,000 mattress you are looking at in one store, and the $1,500 mattress in another store, may be the label.

does not affect the feel. But it will make a big difference to how long your mattress will last. Density is what costs money. So before you buy a mattress, be sure to ask about the density of the foams inside.

The fi rst layer (on top of the springs) is usually the lowest density (20-25kg/m2 is usually fi ne for this layer). But many manufacturers continue to use low density (20kg/m2 or lower) for the top comfort layers. While you won’t notice this when you fi rst feel your new mattress, it will become obvious as the foam breaks down and you end up sleeping in a hollow (sometimes as quickly as just a few months).

FIVE: Specialty Foam Memory foam is a term used to describe foams that have a slow ‘bounce’. In other words, once de-pressed, they take a few seconds to regain their original shape. Gel foam is a term used to describe foam that is infused with a special gel substance. Both memory and gel foams feel similar to touch.

But because some people fi nd memory foams hot to sleep on (due to the fact you tend to sink into the foam more), the addition of gel particles encourages air fl ow and a cooler sleeping surface. Although used as a marketing gimmick by many manufacturers, we do see some benefi t in using gel infused memory foam if you tend to feel hot when you sleep.

TWO: Springs Apart from straight foam and straight latex mat-tresses (which are not very common), all mattresses contain springs.

Some have Bonnell Springs (hour glass shaped springs held between a wire hoop at the top and bottom) or Pocket Springs (individual springs that are independently wrapped in a thin layer of fabric).

No matter what fancy names manufacturers give their springs, or what quantity of springs or zones their mattresses have, they are essentially the same. In fact, most springs are made by one manufacturer in China and shipped in compressed form to mattress companies all around the world including Australia.

Pocket Spring mattresses tend to cost a little more than Bonnell Spring mattresses but offer a genuine advantage in terms of less partner disturbance.

THREE: Edge Support In order to maintain support right to the edges, an extra piece of wire can be connected to the top and bottom hoops of a Bonnell Spring mattresses and a strong foam box can be added to a Pocket Spring Mattress.

Edge supports add genuine benefi t because they allow you to sleep or sit right on the edge of the bed without the side collapsing.

Edge supports should add around $100 to the price of a Bonnell Spring mattress and around $200 to the price of a Pocket Spring mattress depending if the support goes all the way around or if it is just added to the sides.

FOUR: Foam The type of foam used in a mattress will not only affect its feel, it will signifi cantly affect the longevity of the mattress.

Foams are measured in two ways. Firstly there is the feel – hard or soft. Then there is the density – high or low. The feel is what makes one mattress plush and another fi rm. The density is what makes one foam last longer than another.

You can get a soft mattress in low or high density. Density

19.indd 1

SIX: Latex Like foam, not all latex is the same. Genuine latex is highly elastic and will last for many years. Synthetic and hybrid latex becomes brittle over time.

SEVEN: Pillow Top The term pillow top refers to the extra comfort layers usually only on one side of the mattress. This provides an extra soft sleeping surface for those who like a plush feel. Once again, the most important thing is what is inside the pillow top – namely, the density of foam. A low density foam may feel luxurious at fi rst, but as it breaks down you may feel like you are sleeping in a hollow.

Eight: Non-Flip Mattresses In some ways, this is another industry gimmick. The fact that most people don’t like to fl ip their mattress each month has lead manufacturers to say things like ‘non-fl ip technology’.

What this really means is that the mattress only has comfort layers on one side. So in a way, this has enabled manufacturers to save money on manufacturing while charging more. A mattress that can be fl ipped will generally last twice as long as a single side mattress (provided you do actually fl ip it).

NINE: Plush Top

TEN: Are Expensive Mattresses Worth It? As you now know, the internal components of most mattresses are pretty much the same. And the most important part is the comfort layers (i.e. the density / quality of the foam). But no matter what fancy names are given to a mattress or it’s components – including terms relating to the type or number or springs – if you’re paying $5,000 for a mattress, we think you are being ripped off.

Warehouse Clearance While our wholesale prices are always around 70% cheaper than other stores, there are times throughout the year where we need to clear certain mattresses at even lower prices. And right now we are overstocked on 2 models.

Some people like the look and feel of the ‘cloud-like’ comfort layers incorporated into the quilting of some mattresses.

The problem is, this layer usually fl attens quickly. Some salespeople say, “Your mattress will settle and mould to your body shape over time.” The truth is, the fl uffy quilting is simply getting fl at. We advise against plush quilting because if you like the plush feel, you will soon be disappointed as the quilting fl attens. If you do like a particularly soft surface layer, we recommend inserting a thin layer of high density memory foam in the quilting. It feels amazing and will not fl atten.

BORDER CROSSINGS

WHAT IS BEST FOR AGED CARE?

If Robyn is going to cite numbers to justify closing of borders (MWP August 28), then she should present accurate figures. As of August 27, only 0.3 per cent of the world population was diagnosed with the virus, which is well short of the one per cent she cites. The WHO advises that of those infected, 99 per cent are mild cases and don’t need hospitalisation.

We do not count all flu cases around the world. We do not record how many flu cases result in long-term health issues; however, some do end up with pneumonia and some die. So far, we have had less deaths from COVID-19 in Australia than the flu in the years 2020, 2019 and 2018.

I am not suggesting that borders should necessarily be open, however the justification for closing borders must be based on accurate information.

Closures should be decided by the Commonwealth, whose chief health officer has always said that borders should not be closed.

I really do not mind the idea of high-density living. Where once there was one house with one family enjoying an ocean view or great location, the construction of unit complexes means that many people can share in these advantages.

If there are plenty of parks, walkways, and fewer cars, then the idea of a light rail system along a corridor of high-density accommodation does not worry me. I would think fewer cars should leave more space for extra residents.

I just wanted to say what a great job Janine Hill did on the mass transit article. It is an extremely complex and technical story and I thought Janine did a great job of presenting a well-balanced, easy to understand summary of it.

Thank you for taking the time to help us get this message out to the community.

This issue is something that will significantly impact everyone on the Coast, so it is important they have all the facts before them. Thankfully, we are now going to get community consultation on this issue in early 2021 thanks to Cr Joe Natoli.

We now need to ensure this process is meaningful, truthful, and listened to. Mtag will continue to work with council and the community to try and achieve this.

A STORY OF BALANCE LIGHT RAIL AND POPULATION

There has been a lot of news lately about aged care and the lack of qualified staff and lack of COVID precautions. There is now a Royal Commission into how and why the system has failed many of our older people, particularly during the epidemic.

Over and over, it is said the government needs to put more money into the aged care sector, including for training.

I understand there are both privately-owned aged care homes and government-subsidised aged care homes. But privately-owned facilities are not regulated or subsidised by the government.

If this is correct, then surely therein lies the problem.

Every aged care facility should be regulated.

At IFYS Foster Care we know that belonging is fundamental to the human experience and we all have an essential need to be loved, cared for and to belong.As humans, we need to belong. To one another, to our friends and families, to our culture and country, to our world. Belonging is primal, fundamental to our sense of happiness and well-being.

When a child is brought into care they can be confused, scared and unsure of what the future holds; they can feel that they don’t belong.

At IFYS Foster Care we acknowledge that children and young people need to belong, they need to feel that they really matter to somebody, somewhere. A connection with at least one caring adult can make a huge difference in the life of a child or young person.

In the words of Rita Pierson - Every child deserves a champion - an adult who never gives up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.

MARKET UPDATE: AN OVERVIEW

T

he global economic contraction from COVID-19 is larger than the global financial crisis in 2008, but its cumulative effect could be less if policy response remains strong enough to cushion the blow.

The pandemic shock is different from a normal business cycle, given economic activity was restricted to stem contagion.

That is why investment markets looked beyond the significant contraction and started recovering ahead of signs of a rebound in economic activity. Yet setbacks in recovery could strike markets.

While the economic impact was sudden and severe, what matters for investment markets is the cumulative effect of the growth shortfall through time.

Economies need to restart but there is

22 My Weekly Preview | September 3, 2020

22.indd 1

uncertainty around how quickly people and companies feel comfortable enough to resume activities at pre-pandemic levels and what structural changes the pandemic has brought about.

The longer it takes for activity to restart, the greater the damage to productive capacity (including labour markets) and the financial system. Renewed infection waves, as the state of Victoria is currently experiencing, represent a key risk that could inflict long-term damage to economies.

Indicators for measuring key risks include: tracking the combination of mobility, virus spread and containment measures on activity as economies reopen; monitoring the reach of policy measures to households and businesses, and whether fiscal stimulus is still sufficient; alertness for signs of financial vulnerabilities and any permanent erosion of productive capacity.

Policymakers are relying on a large amount of direct support to the real economy in combination with financial sector transmission. There is a risk, though, of policy fatigue in the US as policymakers face a series of fiscal cliffs. By contrast, Europe has stepped up stimulus efforts.

The policy response was essential and is a near-term positive for risk assets.

However, it is unlikely to be the prelude to the type of policy-driven, decade-long bull market that followed the GFC. In part because interest rates are starting the cycle with little capacity to move lower. And with larger deficits and monetary expansion, inflation could at some stage feature.

In turn, building resilience into investment portfolios is likely to require less reliance on traditional methods. Given monetary policy has pushed yield curves to their effective lower bounds, government bonds offer less diversification than they have historically.

Geopolitically, China and the US are intensifying their strategic rivalry, resulting in a bifurcated world. The pandemic has also dealt a great blow to emerging

economies with less capacity to provide support mechanisms. Domestic polarisation is also rising, with the US presidential election taking place against a tumultuous background – the two parties are further apart on policy than they have ever been. This divided world will mean that portfolios will have to consider positioning at the regional, country and company level to incorporate relevant themes.

Right place, right time to downsize

The uncertainty of the current health pandemic has prompted seniors to seriously rethink their retirement, with the need for secure, simplified living more prominent than ever.

Recent research conducted by OverSixty.com.au showed nearly a third of seniors are more likely to downsize or move to a retirement village as a result of COVID-19. Not only is downsizing on the radar of a larger number of seniors now, research indicates they’re also acting on these decisions much more quickly. What’s more, 3 in 5 seniors said they sought to be in a supportive and helpful community during the pandemic.

The Oak Tree Group, which has more than 30 retirement villages throughout Australia, has witnessed these trends firsthand over the past few months. Amidst all the uncertainty around restrictions, the housing market and the broader economy, Oak Tree is seeing strong demand from seniors who just want simplicity and certainty for the future.

For our residents, many of whom have transitioned from traditional family homes, moving to a village is about “rightsizing” their retirement lifestyle. Purposely built with the needs of seniors in mind, the thoughtful design of every aspect means you can downsize without the comprise. From the ultimate liveability of our functional, modern villas to the central leisure facilities all within a friendly and secure, gated village atmosphere, there’s no shortage of space or opportunity for you to live your life, your way.

Downsizing allows residents to leave behind the physical and financial burden of a large family home. At Oak Tree, you have the budget certainty and peace of mind that all maintenance, repairs and most of your regular outgoings will be taken care of with a simple and affordable weekly fee.

It covers everything from gardening, rates and water to building insurance and recreational facility operations.

Villas are designed with energy efficiency in mind, while residents also benefit from solar electricity generation, unique to Oak Tree.

Whether you seek security, certainty, lifestyle or otherwise, more and more Oak Tree residents are discovering that it’s the right place and right time to downsize.

PROFILE

CALOUNRA AUTHOR STRIKES SUCCESS AFTER 25 YEARS TRYING Golden Beach author SW White may give Jane Harper a run for her money with his new crime novel. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

A

ustralian crime novels and thrillers, especially set in the outback, are having a moment. In fact, the success spurred on by bestselling authors like Jane Harper is phenomenal, with readers intrigued by those big, thirsty bush and desert landscapes – the perfect setting for an atmospheric and gripping story.

When he sat down to write his new novel Hermit four years ago, Golden Beach author SW White had no way of knowing his book would find itself perfectly positioned in the world’s hottest genre of 2020. It’s like striking gold for an author and Mr White is hoping his book will ride the wave of popularity all the way to bestseller status, with the ultimate dream being a TV or film deal.

Having worked with the UK police for 12 years, Mr White moved to Golden Beach five years ago to help his ageing parents. From his quiet abode here on the Sunshine Coast, he has created a compelling crime novel that looks set to become the next big thing in the literary world, with big names in the industry predicting Hermit to be a worldwide success. And it’s about time.

“I’ve been writing for 25 years and I’ve been turned down over 800 times,” he says. “This is my ninth book. It has been a long journey. It’s a fine line between determination and mad stubbornness.

“I reached a stage 10 years ago where my writing was good enough, but then it’s more to do with a subjective feel,” he says. “An agent or a publisher, they have to feel really passionate about that particular book. They’re getting several thousand books in a year and they might take three or four of them.”

Mr White’s persistence finally paid off when he landed a UK agent by the name of Hattie Grünewald, who pitched the book to Headline Publishing, a division of Hachette.

Hermit follows the story of detective Dana Russo who has just hours to solve a murder in the Australian bush. The prime suspect is a man who disappeared without a trace 15 years earlier. Dana is a different kind of detective – not the brash, confident type, but an introvert.

The intense relationship between detective and suspect forms a gripping narrative. Mr White says two main threads brought the story together for him.

“One was a book by Susan Cain called Introvert, which is about introversion in an extrovert world. I was very interested in that, and my main

Choose iQ Shutters for all your INTERNAL SHUTTERS

character Dana is an introvert. The police force is an organisation that majors on personality and being able to project your personality into a situation.

The other part was based on a true story about a guy called Christopher Knight who disappeared in Maine, New England in the US. He didn’t emerge from the forest for 27 years. In all that time, he spoke one word to one human being. He lived deep in the forest, but only a mile from town. I read a book about him and was fascinated by what that would do to a human being, to be 27 years with only the sound of your own voice and the voices in your head.”

Now living his own kind of quiet life as a full-time writer on the Sunshine Coast, Mr White is a world away from the crime scenes of the UK, but says his time there was vital in creating the kinds of stories he enjoys writing – and the world loves reading.

“It’s not really possible to get too much under the skin of it without having direct experience,” he says. “It’s a unique mentality and a unique environment.

I’ve often found police have more in common with criminals than they do with the rest of the population. They’re in such a strong world, talking with criminals, being able to talk to someone who understands some of the stranger aspects of what they do.”

In Hermit, Mr White has created a character-driven, claustrophobic noir, a slow-burn narrative, with much of the story taking place during the interview.

It’s perfect for a TV drama or film, a prospect Mr White is thrilled about.

“It would be pretty simple to film,” he says. “That’s part of the appeal.

There’s not a lot of different locations, it’s not spread all over the world.”

CRICK AUTO GROUP PROMOTION

MATT’S ALL ABOUT TEAMWORK Matt Twentywman knows the Coast and knows what Coast customers need.

A

fter 13 years at Crick Auto Group, most recently as sales manager, Matt Twentyman is stepping into a new position as business development manager. The position has been created to provide a more personalised, stress- free service for clients, including business and fleet

customers.

“This means that with just one call you will receive all the information you require, completely eliminating the hassle out of buying vehicles,” Mr Twentyman says.

The position embraces a whole new dedicated approach to our business

clients and Mr Twentyman says it is not only about the personalised service. It is also about his ability to provide vehicles to businesses for a more comprehensive at work evaluation and the wide-ranging choice of brands available.

“Crick Auto Group’s network has 15 new car brands and over 200 used cars.

This provides clients with unparalleled choice. Having such a big range of brands means I can offer an unbiased approach to finding the right vehicle solutions for each and every business,” he adds.

While Mr Twentyman doesn’t mind describing himself as a ‘die-hard footy fan, his longevity at Crick Auto Group means he is an expert in his industry.

“I started out as a Subaru salesperson and was a sales manager in three of Crick’s brands, Subaru, Honda and Mitsubishi,” he says.

Mr Twentyman grew up on the Coast and loves taking part in the lifestyle.

“I’m a marathon runner, triathlete and a soccer dad,” he says.

For the gregarious dad of two sons, his involvement in sport also carries over into business.

He is all about teamwork and in this

case, the team includes the many clients he’s had the opportunity to work with over the years.

“Referrals are the greatest compliment and I work hard to earn them at every opportunity,” he says.

WE WERE HAPPY “Ausmar Homes decided to replace our fleet of vans with Mitsubishi Triton Twin Cab utes. The Tritons represented outstanding value for money and the five-year factory warranty was the icing on the cake.

We love keeping our business local and Matt Twentyman from Cricks has looked after and supported us extremely well.”

Tim Hendy, Director Ausmar Homes.

PEOPLE & PLACES

TRIBUTE TO THE HUMBLE MANGO Remember the days when mangoes ruled our backyards? WORDS: Audienne Blyth.

T

he original wooden houses of pioneers may have long gone, but the mango trees once planted next to them remain. However, new subdivisions have no space for a large sprawling mango tree.

The fruit is known as the common or stringy mango. It is well named, as the strings seem to be almost a foot long.

Remember the haircut called the sucked mango look in the 1950s? Undoubtedly, this was a style with a long, stringy fringe.

A test of a good mango, while you eat it, is the quantity of juice that runs down your arm right to your elbow.

I cannot deny the pleasure of sucking on the rich orange flesh until the seed is dry. And I vouch for the flavour of the old common mango against the new varieties.

I seem to have lived my life next to old mango trees. My childhood home had mango trees and my present house has large and very old mango trees.

I recall my grandmother picking up the early windfalls and making stewed mango, adding what nature omitted – heat and sugar.

We are never at a loss as to what to do with the abundance of fruit. We eat it at any

time of the day. We offer visitors mangoes.

We freeze some for later on in the year. We make the best mango chutney. We call in those without mango trees to help us out.

Finally, we feed the last to the horses.

A ‘through fruit train’ from the North Coast to Sydney and Melbourne ran from about 1920 until the 1950s.Farmers were able to send their produce to southern markets without it spoiling. Among the cases of bananas and pineapple, I’m sure there were mangoes.

A mango tree serves a purpose other than a fruit supply. The tree is not flammable and is certainly safer than a gumtree next to the house.

In summer, the temperature is at least 10 degrees less under a mango tree and its shade accommodates children playing or anyone taking a chair and whiling away the heat of the day.

A fernery can be established with no fear of the summer sun. As well, a mango tree is the perfect place to have a swing.

Before you rush out to plant a mango tree, which has the potential to grow to almost 10 metres and spread over half a house block, I must warn of the downside.

All night long, ripe mangoes fall with a bump or a crash on the tin roof of our house. Possums and fruit bats, with screeches and thumps, help themselves.

Birds of all descriptions peck at the fruit, either on the ground or while it is still on the tree. Sometimes it’s hard to walk for squishy mangoes.

I’ve had burns from the sap and have to warn anyone about picking green mangoes.

The green skin can produce what were once called mango sores, although the fancy new varieties seem to have put an end to that. And I no longer see common mangoes in the shops. Most likely you will find them free at a roadside stall in the hinterland.

‘No strings’

By Gympie poet Harry Donnelly A guitar sits idle, dusty, in a pre-loved items shop, unplayed ‘cross many winters it beckons me to stop. This ornament of times gone by or what may never be, collecting dust in solitude... so unassumingly.

Five strings intact, one broken, not the instrument it was, its beautifully crafted body clings to dignity — because.

The countless notes unplayed, unheard across the years seem to whisper ghostly melodies to an unsuspecting ear.

Perhaps a memory of lithe fingers drawing life from deep within, as hands of subtle elegance coerce each new note to begin.

This cobwebbed isolation seems to harbour long-lost tales of an instrument of music… only history could unveil.

So I sit immersed within it to imagine times gone by when this lacquered piece of handcraft gently soothed each lullaby.

To its bygone ancient heritage, forebears of the strings, bringing music into life enticing voices out to sing.

MY OPINION

WORD ON THE STREET

FAIR GO FOR SEIBOLD

Sami Muirhead has discovered some cool new words to add to her vocabularly – and one that is no longer trendy.

Ashley Robinson says Anthony Seibold as Broncos coach was doomed from the start and we should spare a thought for the poor bloke.

T

he inner geek in me loves it when the list comes out of the new words being added to the Oxford English Dictionary each year. I know. It is a strange thing to be excited about, but I am easily pleased as I am a bit of a nanna when it comes to my lifestyle. My idea of a party on a Friday night is eating salt and vinegar chips and drinking port in bed surrounded by my dogs. A super-great party would involve clean sheets and a few candles on top of these Friday night festivities. I know how to celebrate!

Last year, ‘simples’, ‘whatevs’ and ‘chillax’ were all new words officially added to the dictionary. This year, the newbies include ‘stan’, ‘peak’, ‘sobercurious’ and ‘bluebird day’. Let’s unpack the fresh words and phrases together because we need to stay united against the young folk or else they will smell our fear.

So ‘stan’ means a combination of being a fan and stalker. For example, if you love Chris Hemsworth but you also have a room filled with creepy pictures of him in your basement and dream about the day he is forced to marry you even if it means kidnapping his current wife, then you are a bone fide stan. A number one fan. You are basically obsessed with your chosen celebrity.

Peak is another new word that has been added to the dictionary. Peak does

not refer to mountaintops or hairstyles.

Nope. It relates to being at the height of your popularity or receiving attention. For example, Magic Mike was peak Channing Tatum. Or Pretty Woman was peak Julia Roberts. My backside was peak in my twenties and will never climb that mountain again. Blue cheese is peak food goals for me. Got it. Okay, let’s move on with our lesson so those smug kids in their twenties cannot outsmart us with their trendy vocabulary. Speaking of which, apparently no one uses the word trendy anymore.

The next phrase is one I find very disturbing. It is sober-curious. This means you are refraining from drinking for a while. Sober-curious sounds like some kinky secret involving a detox facility.

And the last new phrase is bluebird day. I love this one. It sounds romantic and full of whimsy. Apparently, it used to be used only by snow lovers, but now it has spread across the world and means a bright and clear sunny day. For example, we could say, “I will not be staying sober-curious on this spring bluebird day at Mooloolaba Surf Club when I look out at the ocean and think we live in the most glorious part of the world. However, peak party time will have to be before 6pm, as I have a date with my bed and dogs.”

So everyone, good luck deciphering the fresh words in our brave new world.

his was quite a surreal moment, writing my first column for My Weekly Preview after knocking out columns and opinions for 21years for another publication. I think it was just over 2000 columns and I was pretty comfortable there, but times change as do the people, and I must say it is nice to be writing and supporting a local business run by community-minded people.

It gives me a warm feeling, which sadly Anthony Seibold never got coaching at the Broncos. At the time of writing, his slow agonising demise reminded me of a poor creature hit but not killed immediately by a car or in his case, a truck.

In my opinion, the high beam was on the minute he took the job and changed deck chairs with Wayne Bennett in the pre-season of 2019. It was never going to work, going from Bunnies coach to Broncos and Wayne heading the other way.

It was doomed from the beginning.

Broncos old boys weren’t happy, not only with the fact that Kevin Walters was promised the job but also that the CEO seemed to want to be the biggest star off the field, so the last thing he needed was input from former Broncos legends. Strike one Anthony. Strike two was poor recruitment before he arrived, particularly the most important word in the NRL and the most expensive part of it, the spine. To the uninitiated the numbers 1-6-7-9 are

the most important numbers in any NRL team and it’s where they spend the most money. You can make the rest up if those four numbers are filled with the right bodies and brains and sadly, the Broncos dropped the ball well and truly there.

Just on those two strikes – and they are pretty big ones – the CEO and football GMs have been very quiet over the last few weeks. In my mind, they should have been jumping in front of some cameras, which normally the CEO loves, or in this case an oncoming truck with lights on high beam to take the pressure off, but alas all we heard were crickets.

The third and final strike was always going to be the hardest for him to dodge, the old one-team, one-town attitude by the media. They can be your best friends and build you up and then tear you down. In this case, they seemed to take obscene pleasure in tearing him and Red Hill down.

They have forgotten all the poor decisions made before Seibold and focused on him and him alone.

I am no Broncos supporter, but I like to think I am fair-minded and I really hope all those smarties that have been ripping into the coach give some thought to his mental health. If ever there is a lesson about money not being everything, this is it. The bloke should have done his thing at Souths and left the knobs at Red Hill to fix their own mess.

VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23)

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

This week, Neptune and retrograde Mars mess with your sensitive nervous system, so do all you can to wind down, worry less and relax more. Your ‘to-do list’ can wait. Plus, pay attention to the rich symbolism in your nightly dreams.

This week’s stars encourage you to join a group, class or club that will help develop a latent Libran creative talent. Don’t expect relationships to run like clockwork though, as Mars reverses through your partnership zone (until November 14).

Retrograde Mars reminds you to reboot your exercise routine so it is more sustainable. Wednesday’s lucky sun-Jupiter link encourages you to broaden your horizons (physically, mentally and spiritually). It’s time to expand your circle of influence.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

You’re keen to express your ideas and enjoy plenty of stimulating conversations with a wide range of interesting people as Jupiter revs up your curious and social side. But be careful you don’t write (or say) the wrong thing to the wrong person!

The sun and Jupiter activate your knowledge and adventure zone, so start thinking about where you’ll go travelling next – physically and/or mentally. But expect some confusion on Friday when Neptune scrambles your communication antennae.

Magic and mystery are around you this week! If you’re looking for answers, keep your eyes and ears wide open as you search for important clues along the way. And make sure you favour a sense of wonder over mundane complacency.

The sun and Jupiter bless romantic and platonic relationships, joint ventures and group activities. You’re bursting with ideas and are keen to help, but don’t disappoint others by being disorganised and promising more than you can actually deliver.

Retrograde Mars and Chiron are both hiding in your seclusion zone, so it’s time to help those around you in a quiet, behind-the-scenes kind of way.

The sun and Jupiter could also send some welcome news, especially involving a child or close friend.

TAURUS (APR 21-MAY 21)

Resist the overwhelming urge to be impulsive and impetuous! Your boss planet Mars turns retrograde (from Thursday until November 14), so you need to apply the brakes and think before you act. Otherwise, you could upset others with your hasty words.

THE LINK BETWEEN HEARING LOSS AND DEMENTIA

A

number of recent studies indicate that people with hearing loss were more likely to have Alzheimer’s. In another, they found that the worse the hearing loss was, the more likely the person was to develop some degree of dementia. The studies don’t suggest that

36 My Weekly Preview | September 3, 2020

36.indd 1

hearing loss itself causes dementia, but it does show that there’s a link between the two. The researchers have a few theories on why that might be: 1. Change in brain function: The part of your brain in charge of hearing and processing auditory information may simply start to work differently when

the hearing part of that equation goes away (or becomes strained).

2. Cognitive load: When you can’t hear well, you have to work a lot harder to make sense of what people are saying, then there’s less capability left for you to put toward memory or other cognitive functions.

3. Social isolation: We know that social isolation can have some nasty effects on overall health. When you struggle to hear, it becomes harder to maintain social connections, which can lead to feeling alone and isolated.

To make it clear, it’s important to note that having hearing loss doesn’t mean you will develop Alzheimer’s.

Some people begin to have trouble hearing in their senior years and many manage to live out those years without experiencing dementia. But the link does suggest that if we do something to address hearing loss, there’s a decent chance that we can also reduce the likelihood of getting Alzheimer’s or the severity of it if someone does get it.

Regular hearing testing is as important as regular eyesight testing.

NEW SUITES FOR BREAST CHECK-UPS

BreastScreen Queensland and Wishlist have joined forces to provide local women with access to state-of-the-art lighting and sensory distraction suites for their regular and follow-up breast screens.

Dr Roper, Medical Director at BreastScreen Queensland Sunshine Coast says women sometimes put off having a mammogram because they think the experience might be unpleasant.

“We want women to have a more agreeable screening experience because it is so important they have a regular breast screen every two years. If a cancer is found early it gives a woman more treatment options and significantly increases the chances of a successful outcome.”

Dr Roper says the new sensory distraction suites would greatly assist in calming and distracting women during

“Sensory distraction is an endorsed strategy for controlling or reducing discomfort, which can reduce the amount of stress experienced by women,” she says.

Local photographer Ross Eason donated images of local landscapes to install on walls and in virtual windows and skylights at the BreastScreen Queensland Nambour Service. For a total sensory experience these images are enhanced with aromatherapy and mood lighting.

Wishlist provided $25,000 to fund the upgrades, thanks to grant funding from The Buderim Foundation, and corporate event

partners Spire Law, BDO and T-Shop Biz. Wishlist CEO Lisa Rowe says “To see this project become a reality is exciting and a timely reminder to make sure all the women in our lives go and get checked.

Early diagnosis is vital.”

Only 56 per cent of women aged 50-74 on the Sunshine Coast have a regular breast screen. It is hoped that the new therapeutic suites will encourage more women to participate in this free vital health service.

Self Funded retirees protest the high cost of hearing aids Self Funded Retirees are up in arms at the high cost of high quality hearing aids!

But that is now changing thanks to a local clinic.

Local, Independent Hearing Aid Specialist at Hear4Good , Lisa Burley has decided to ensure that the clinic will offer high quality devices at reasonable prices.

“We have people coming to us who have been quoted $10,000, which is ridiculous!

You do not need to pay these sorts of prices to get better hearing”, Ms Burley says, “Our advice is always get a second opinion and don’t fall for high pressure hard sales techniques, when its something as critical as your hearing, you need to be sure, Hear4Good are the people you can trust”.

In my practice, I see a range of issues caused by problems with sleep and with a lack of quality sleep.

While it can be useful to quantify sleep in terms of number of hours, it is perhaps more important to discuss quality of sleep.

A question I ask my patients to find out about their sleep quality is, ‘Do you feel refreshed in the morning?’ An astounding proportion of replies I get indicate the high number of people living daily with ‘sleep dysfunction’ and ‘sleep disordered breathing’.

Do you snore in your sleep?

Do you grind your teeth or suffer from a tender jaw?

Do you have difficulty falling or staying asleep?

And, once again, do you truly, feel refreshed in the morning?

The reflective questions above might reveal an issue with sleep.

Sleep is intrinsically linked to a series of other medical conditions including weight gain, blood pressure issues, diabetes, cardiac issues and mental health issues.

Speak to your health professional to learn more about what a good night’s sleep can do for your health and wellbeing.

Training for specificity simply means setting your desired training and exercise goals specific to the results you are trying to obtain.

It makes no sense for a runner to swim if they want to improve their running time. If you want to build your best physique, it makes no sense to do cardio every day because a more resistancebased training plan will build muscle to improve overall body composition.

Your first step when putting an exercise or training plan together is to ask yourself, ‘What is the goal?’

Once you establish this, you can build and design your plan tailored to suit your goal based around exercises that are specific to your sport.

You can then adjust nutrition based around your plan. If you are wanting to run 50 kilometres weekly, you will require an increase of carbohydrates to fuel your training ,whereas if you are wanting to loose body fat, you will need to make a reduction in carbohydrates.

Identify your goal and then train specifically to it to maximise your results.

PHYSIOTHERAPY VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED

Suncare Digital provides people with the opportunity to develop skills and confidence to use technology in their everyday life and hence in turn, the confidence to be instrumental in their own wellbeing and enablement.

Three pillars of the Suncare Digital program identifies and supports customers to access tailored solutions specifically for the following: Health Monitoring – daily access to specific applications designed to provide instant health status information; Health and Wellbeing – daily access to simple activity and wellness programs not only provides physical benefits but gives purpose and control. Social – support customers to delay or avoid the move into more complex care by being socially active and connected to their community.

Increasingly managing our everyday life requires interaction with technology, including email address, links to government sites and My Aged Care.

Suncare Digital supports customers gaining this knowledge by fitting clients out with a suitable device (iPad), setting up a suite of the right applications, and offering a supportive solution to ensure successful take-up and long-term engagement.

People with knee pain who live near Mooloolaba are needed for a new research study comparing two different ways of delivering physiotherapy. All eligible volunteers will receive five physiotherapy consultations, at no cost.

Osteoarthritis of the knee is a common condition in adults. It often causes pain and reduces quality of life. We know that many Australians with knee osteoarthritis are unfortunately not receiving accurate information and guidance about physical activity and exercise and are having trouble managing their knee condition on their own.

Consulting a health professional, such as a physiotherapist, can be helpful in discussing more specific information about osteoarthritis and for obtaining personalised guidance and support around a knee strengthening exercise program and physical activity plan.

The Centre for Health, Exercise and Sports Medicine at the University of Melbourne is conducting a research study in both Victoria and Queensland comparing the effects of different ways of delivering physiotherapy.

Physiotherapy may be delivered in any number of ways including: • Face-to-face consultations • Consultations at private practices

Government grant provided Suncare with the funding to purchase a number of devices (iPads) and develop the resources to provide a suitable learning and support program. In the light of the COVID-19 shutdown, the original program has been reviewed and Suncare Digital moved to a remote rollout process. Now, a Suncare staff member delivers the iPad and a kit containing Quick Start Guides and step-by-step activities to help the customer learn to use their iPad.

For more info go to: suncare.org.au

• Consultations at rehabilitation centres • Video consultations over the internet • Group-based classes • Telephone consultations This study will compare two different delivery methods of physiotherapy for people with knee pain.

All eligible participants will receive: • five consultations with a physiotherapist over a three-month period, • An individualised strengthening exercise program and physical activity plan, • A wearable activity monitor (to keep) • Educational information booklets and exercise resources • All at no cost.

This study will help to deliver better physiotherapy care.

PROPERTY EXPERTS INVEST DIRECTLY INTO SUNSHINE COAST Platininum Properties is rebranded as the experts tip the Coast as the hottest spot to invest in Australia. WORDS: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane. y

P

utting their money where their mouth is, Mooloolaba-based property company Direct Collective is heavily investing in staff, resources and infrastructure here on the Sunshine Coast because they strongly believe in the positive growth of this region and that the best time to make the most of the opportunity is now.

Launching their new company structure, Direct Collective encompasses a wide range of property specialties through their brands Direct Agents, Direct Rentals, Direct Hotels, Investor Property and the First Home Buyers Academy.

Chief operations officer Mal Cayley explains that Direct Collective manages around 1950 properties through its management teams across Queensland and more than 1150 right here on the Sunshine Coast, making them one of the largest property management groups across the state. He adds that the Sunshine Coast is a very exciting market where they manage over a thousand business and property assets and have a

Mal Cayley dedicated growth plan.

“We truly believe the Sunshine Coast is the number one region in the country to be investing in property right now, and we aren’t just advising our clients to do this, we’re investing too. At circa $875-million of properties under management agreements, it’s probably a great thing we believe and invest in the markets we manage.

“Expanding our staff base, office footprint, and property assets over the

recent months is just the beginning.

One of the recent acquisitions for Direct Collective was the purchase of Platinum Properties in late 2019, which today re-launches as Direct Agents.

“Built on the solid foundations of Platinum Properties, who operated as exceptional independent real estate agents on the Sunshine Coast for decades, Direct Agents now brings the next level of service and success to homeowners combining the intimacy and customer-centric approach of our local teams with the structure and support that comes from a growing and diversified public company,” says Mr Cayley.

In purchasing and rebranding Platinum Properties, the business has retained incredible assets in the previous owners and management team staying on board.

Previous co-owner Steve Turner is thrilled at this opportunity but wants to reassure clients that he’s not going anywhere.

“Business is as usual for our team and clients, but with an exciting future ahead with a great overarching company. We’re

Steve Turner now part of something bigger, watch this space!” Mr Turner says.

When asked why the Sunshine Coast is such a hot spot, Mal Cayley says that there’s, “a perfect combination of events that are unprecedented for any city in Australia’s history.”

“Driven by billions of dollars of infrastructure projects funded by the private and public sectors, this region is poised to expand at a level that is unprecedented and importantly, sustainable well into the future.”

Postage Stamp sinks Kirk’s chances

R

A triple bogey six on the eighth hole, a short par three known as the Postage Stamp, ended Katherine Kirk’s faint chance of an unlikely victory in the Women’s British Open at Troon last week.

The Sunshine Beach veteran surged into contention with a brilliant four under-par 67 in tough conditions on Saturday. And when she birdied the first hole of the final round, Kirk looked capable of making a charge. In the end, though, she signed for a 74 to finish six over par in a share of 22nd place. The surprise winner was German Sophia Popov, the world number 308, who had never won an event on any of the major tours.

Now in its eighth season, the Nudie Australian Boardriders Battle is the country’s biggest grassroots boardriders event, involving more than 60 of Australia’s best boardrider clubs and $112,700 in prize money.

The series is officially sanctioned by the World Surf League (WSL), which allows Australian WSL World Tour surfers the opportunity to represent their local boardriders club at respective state qualifying events and the national final.

Adding to the high stakes at the state

qualifying events will be two speciality awards. The Oakley Prizm Performer will be awarded to the standout surfer, while the Surfing Australia Innovation Award ($1000) is presented to the surfer who performs the most innovative manoeuvre.

RESULTS: 1st: North Shore Boardriders 2nd: Snapper Rocks Surfriders 3rd: Noosa Boardriders 4th: Burleigh Boardriders

Saturday, September 5, 2–4pm Swim evaluations are being held at Caloundra Aquatic Lifestyle Centre, Central Park Rd, Caloundra, followed by a beach evaluation at Dicky Beach. Please bring togs, goggles and a towel.

There is an opportunity to purchase a

rashie and cap from the surf club.

Also required: child’s birth certificate, parent/carer proof of ID. Under six years may join if they have an older sibling at Nippers.

Visit dickybeachsurfclub.com.au/nippers or call 07 549 15742.

If your club or team would like any stories or news to be featured in MWP, please email bolson@myweeklypreview.com.au or sport@myweeklypreview.com.au or call Bayley on 0414 555 813.

eigning national champions North Shore Boardriders were awarded the 2020 nudie Australian Boardriders Battle QLD qualifier last weekend. The competition was held at Duranbah Beach on the Gold Coast in punchy two-foot waves and was the first of eight state qualifier events held around the country before finals to be held early next year.

North Shore defeated Snapper Rocks, Noosa, and Burleigh Boardriders respectively in a nail-biting final. All four teams now head to the national final to be held in 2021.

Burleigh’s Liam O’Brien started off the heat with a 5.4 out of a possible 10.00 to take an early lead, but after all teams progressed through the heat with their various surfers, it was North Shore who’s accumulative total heat score was able to secure victory.

North Shore’s power surfer, Alister Reginato, is stoked to take out the QLD qualifier and move one step closer to winning a second national final.

“It’s pretty epic,” Reginato says.

“It was our goal to win the national final, which we were able to achieve last season.

We’ve never won the QLD qualifier event – which is just as important to us because we’re surfing against all our local clubs and we know everyone here really well, so it’s super competitive.

“We have a great team, we all push each other at our club events and training, and I guess it shows when we’re in the water together.”

Burleigh Boardriders’ Liam O’Brien won the Oakley Prizm Award for best performer of the day.

Australia will play three ODIs and three T20s against England in September after confirmation of a return to international cricket for coach Justin Langer’s men.

All matches will be played behind closed doors in Southampton and at Old Trafford in Manchester.

Young guns Josh Philippe, Daniel Sams and Riley Meredith are the standout names in the 21-man squad, which selection boss Trevor Hohns said was a pointer to the future.

“We are very excited by these young players who we believe are all capable of playing a role in the Australian setup in coming years,” Hohns said.

Aussie fast bowler Pat Cummins has been elevated to stand-alone vice-captain to skipper Aaron Finch, replacing Alex Carey, potentially earmarking the speedster as a future captain.

He said the move to appoint Cummins vice-captain was a matter or reverting to a traditional model.

“After taking advice and reviewing the leadership of the squad we have decided to

revert back to the traditional captain and one vice-captain setup,” Hohns said.

“Alex remains a genuine leader within the squad and will continue to provide valuable support to Aaron as skipper. Pat is very much in the same category and someone the entire squad has immense respect for as a person and a player.

“This is not a reflection of succession planning, but rather a decision to return to the traditional leadership set-up that has served Australian cricket so well for generations.”

Langer said it was “vital” to keep the game going, with the Aussies set to play their first game since the March series against New Zealand was abandoned because of COVID-19.

“It’s vital for cricket that we do everything we can to keep the game going in these tough times,” Langer said.

“I am delighted with how the players have returned to their states from the break back in March. The whole squad has come back fitter and stronger, which is great testament to each of them.

Legacy widow Nita Tupper and Legacy’s Roslyn Maxwell

s Legacy Week 2020 draws to a close, Nita Tupper has been busy once again selling fundraising badges.

Mrs Tupper became a Legacy widow more than 30 years ago after her husband Noel, who served with the Navy in Korea, died.

REAL ESTATE Property Consultants since 1936

She has been secretary of the War Widows’ Guild and secretary and president of the Maroochydore Laurel Club.

“Legacy has helped me during difficult times over the years and I feel it’s time for me to give back,” she says. “That little badge is a symbol of a proud Australian

tradition spanning nine decades, which continues to make a big impact on veteran’s families today.”

Mrs Tupper is instrumental in the Laurel Club ladies’ entertainment and meetings, active in the local community and is a role model and a mentor to new widows.

Legacy Sunshine Coast Chairman Lee Shimbel says locally, Legacy strive to ensure the partners and children of veterans who gave their lives or health in recognised military service can fully realise their potential.

“These families have seen their loved ones leave our shores to serve in wars throughout time, from World War II and Vietnam to Afghanistan and Iraq,” Mr Shimbel says.

“Many never made the journey home and others returned bearing the physical or mental scars of war.

“We care for those in need, believing that this adversity should not lead to social and financial disadvantage. We are helping young families at an increasing rate and there are many more who desperately need our support.

“We nurture children’s education by contributing towards school fees, books, uniforms and recreational activities, such as our annual Youth Camp, to foster their self-development and confidence.

“We also assist older widows through pension advocacy, counselling, special housing, medical and social support.”

At Marcoola Dental we provide a high level of service and care for our patients.

The perfect smile for you can be achieved through continued preventative care.

It’s our goal to educate our patients on ways to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

Jordan Horne is encouraging the Sunshine Coast’s young people to find their voice

Speak up, says youth leader

D

iddillibah’s Jordan Horne has a passion for her leadership and community relationships.

The 17-year-old is the Queensland Youth Parliament representative for Ninderry and she’s encouraging others to become involved in the Sunshine Coast Youth Action Group.

She says it is essential youth are engaged in fostering a better and safer

community, along with encouraging a youth voice among all levels of government. “Youth are continually referred to as the change-makers of the future. However, we all know change can’t start without action,” she says.

“By consulting youth and engaging them in council projects, we are ensuring a tight-knit community … and helping to create active members in society.”

How can reflexology help you?

Relieve Pain and Improve General Health Reflexology is a natural, deeply relaxing pressure therapy designed to treat all areas of the body via the feet, face, hands & ears.

Jordan says some of the biggest issues facing youth today include establishing a sense of belonging, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“While social media has most certainly aided in keeping people connected, new initiatives … will help bring youth together to foster new friendships and also aid in strengthening community spirit.”

Community Portfolio Councillor David Law says the Sunshine Coast Council program aims to empower leadership skills and community networks.

“We have some great projects our young people can advise council on through the Sunshine Coast Youth Action Group, including health and wellbeing programs specific to young people, plans for a junior council in 2021 as well helping us achieve our Sunshine Coast Community Strategy priorities,” Cr Law says.

“Importantly, this is a wonderful opportunity for our future leaders to give advice on issues impacting our youth and for us to hear their voices loud and clear.”

Residents aged 12 to 25 are being invited to join the program to inspire and engage young people and help shape inclusive and connected communities.

Applications for the first workshop at Maroochydore’s Thrive Youth Hub close on September 8. Register at surveymonkey. com/r/NTM96Q9.

A little ray of Sunshine The Big Pineapple precinct has welcomed its latest business with the opening of CAVU Distilling, the makers of Sunshine & Sons dry gin and vodka.

The distiller’s Original Dry Gin is infused with native botanicals while the pure, clear vodka is filtered through Sunshine Coast-sourced volcanic rock to add extra depth, texture, and uniqueness. To top it off, the distiller is currently barrel-ageing organic molasses rum for release in 2022.

Visitors are welcome for a tour, tastings, and bottle sales.

POLICE BRIEFS Police are reminding drivers of the dangers of distractions off the back of Queensland Road Safety week.

In 2019, 21 lives were lost, and 1473 people were seriously injured on Queensland roads in crashes involving distracted drivers or riders.

“If you’re travelling at 60kmh and take your eyes off the road for just two seconds, your vehicle will travel more than 33 metres,” a Queensland Police statement

says. “With the average person’s reaction time around 1.8 seconds, this means nearly four seconds can pass before a driver reacts to a hazard.”

Police say mobile phones are one of the biggest distractors for drivers and recommend using the ‘do not disturb while driving’ feature on your smartphone.

This year’s road safety week encouraged Queenslanders to come up with their own safety slogan.

Garden’s a go for Buderim’s Lions Club

Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien planting in Buderim Lions Park with Buderim Mountain State School students

T

he Lions Club of Buderim has been nurturing the idea of a garden, focused on biodiversity and embracing all walks of life, and now it has become a reality thanks to a few young green thumbs and a federal grant.

Students from Buderim Mountain State School and the University of the Sunshine Coast, along with Lions’ members, community volunteers and Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien are involved in the planting activities.

The club secured $5225 as part of the federal government’s Communities Environment Program.

“This grant allows us to establish a section of the Lions Park in Burnett Street, which will include a diverse selection of native plant species to provide food, water and habitats for a range of native wildlife,” project co-ordinator Joy Unger says.

“The Buderim Lions Park is testimony to community involvement in a sustainable environmental project in which the local Buderim community has demonstrated its support in shaping a sustainable future.”

Buderim Lions president Brian McBride says the club’s history with the park dates back 52 years.

“The Buderim Lions started developing the Lions Park in 1968,” Mr McBride says.

“Before that it was a quarry, so it was a huge job moving giant rocks to create the park and the initial gardens.

“The Lions Club later added two shelters and tables and continued to maintain the park and its gardens until 2008, when it was redeveloped by council.

“The current Lions also raised $40,000 to install the playground.”

Community spirit alive in Buderim Face-to-face service is fast disappearing from the banking world these days as major banks move online, but the need for community banking remains.

At Buderim’s Bendigo Bank, the community bank model is alive and well and manager Peter Macdonnell says customers can still visit and speak to a teller.

This year, Buderim’s community bank is celebrating its 10th anniversary. “[We have] developed a close relationship with the Buderim community because none of

the profits go off to faraway shareholders but are distributed to worthy charities clubs, schools and similar causes locally,” Mr Macdonnell says.

“So far the bank has given away over $200,000 in this manner.”

Mr Macdonnell says the bank is owned by 230 local shareholders.

The bank aims to help families own a home and Mr Macdonnell says it offers competitive home loan rates. “I am able to approve such loans on the spot in the Branch in Burnett Street, Buderim.”

An artist’s impression of Pacific Diamond 88’s development

Fate of building on hold WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

A

Buddina community group will need to wait until November to learn the fate of an approved seven-storey development that the group believes is a threat to endangered nesting loggerhead turtles.

A date has been set in the Planning and Environment Court to settle the ongoing battle between Sunshine Coast

Council and developers Pacific Diamond 88, and Friends of Buddina.

On August 21, Planning and Environment Court Judge Gary Long set a hearing for November 26 to 27, requesting both parties to complete further actions before October 29.

One of those refers to a minor change to turtle lighting conditions approved by the council on July 23.

The minor change is to ensure the lighting impacts of the development are appropriately managed to minimise light spill and sky glow that affects Buddina Beach.

The council approved automated screen blinds to be mandatory after 8pm during nesting and hatching season from October to May. It also requires the developer to complete surveys to monitor artificial light before and after the development is built.

A Friends of Buddina spokesperson says the group has long argued the development breaches the planning scheme.

“Its lighting would negatively impact the nearby endangered loggerhead turtles’ nesting habitat,” she says.

“And the building height, excess site coverage and density would impact neighbours’ views, vistas, amenity and privacy.

“The approved changed turtle lighting conditions included some minor improvements and several dilutions of the turtle lighting conditions.

“We are pleased with one particular improvement relating to the tinting of external glass, which will now apply to all glazing on the north, south and eastern elevations. As such, any enforceable change to reduce some of the artificial light represents an improvement.”

While the group is pleased with some

of the outcomes, it is disappointed more is not being done to have a similar notion put forward to that of Sekisui’s controversial Yaroomba development.

“The overall outcome was disappointing with councillors voting to reject obvious basic protection, such as the Yaroomba condition of no direct light on, or visible from, the beach.”

Ewen Maddock Dam upgrade underway

Latest Aura release proves popular

W

The last park-facing town homes in Aura’s Baringa suburb are being released.

“All of Baringa’s town homes have proven really popular, with 60 per cent of the development already sold,” Stockland senior development manager Matt Patullo says.

“The last of the park-fronting town homes particularly have seen a high volume of enquiries with only five of the homes that are eligible for the HomeBuilder scheme still available.”

Over the next 30 years, Aura is planned to include more than 20,000 homes, two business parks, 10 sporting grounds, 25 community facilities, 20 educational facilities, 700 hectares of parkland and 200 kilometres of cycle and walking paths.

ork is progressing on the $24 million Ewen Maddock Dam upgrade, providing up to 70 jobs for Sunshine

Coast locals.

The upgrade involves raising and strengthening existing embankment walls and upgrading the recreation area. As part of the works, an innovative approach was used to lower dam levels, reducing carbon emissions and enabling the lake’s recreation areas to reopen sooner.

Seqwater chief executive officer Neil Brennan says Seqwater – in conjunction with Sunshine Coast-based contractor Hall Contracting – installed six siphons to safely release water.

“For safety, the dam had to be lowered to around 60 per cent capacity to allow construction crews to raise and strengthen the embankment walls,” Mr Brennan says. “By using gravity-based siphon technology in place of more traditional systems like diesel-fuelled pumps, we have reduced carbon emissions by about 235 tonnes.

“This approach also helped to reduce the duration of the project.”

The lake will return to full supply capacity on completion of the project.

Hall Contracting chief executive officer Cameron Hall says the company is thrilled to be delivering a significant project on the Sunshine Coast and employing locals.

“Dam construction works are very complex and highly regulated, so it takes a skilled team to successfully deliver these types of projects,” Mr Hall says.

“We’re very lucky to have this specialised talent on the Sunshine Coast and proud to be providing much-needed jobs throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Works commenced in March 2020 and

are expected to end in the second half of 2021, weather permitting.

Fast facts Ewen Maddock Dam was built across Addlington Creek, a tributary of the Mooloolah River.

Construction was completed in 1976 and the full supply level was raised in 1982.

Following the independent dam safety review in 2010, several improvements were identified and approved for delivery.

Australia Zoo has marked a major milestone, tagging its 200th crocodile.

A partnership with the University of Queensland and Wildlife Warriors since 2008, the long-term study focuses on capturing and tagging estuarine, or saltwater, crocodiles in the Wenlock River on the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve in Far North Queensland.

Stevie, a 2.9-metre female, is the 200th crocodile to be tagged and tracked in the Wenlock River.

“These big beautiful females are vitally important to the population,” Terri Irwin says. “We rarely catch female crocodiles this big, she is a special girl.”

“Reaching 200 crocodiles is a huge milestone for science and crocodile conservation, and I know Steve would be so proud.”

POLICE BRIEFS Police are reminding drivers of the dangers of distractions off the back of Queensland Road Safety week.

In 2019, 21 lives were lost, and 1473 people were seriously injured on Queensland roads in crashes involving distracted drivers or riders.

“If you’re travelling at 60kmh and take your eyes off the road for just two seconds, your vehicle will travel more than 33 metres,” a Queensland Police statement says.

“With the average person’s reaction time around 1.8 seconds, this means nearly four seconds can pass before a driver reacts to a hazard.”

Police say mobile phones are one of the biggest distractors for drivers and recommend activating the ‘Do not disturb while driving’ feature on your smartphone before you get behind the wheel.

Kawana Waters Police partnered with Kawana Shopping World to promote their road safety pledge.

ABC comes to Moffat Beach Professor Nick Paul and ABC’s Craig Reucassel

offat Beach has received national airtime after featuring in the final instalment of the ABC documentary Fight for Planet A: Our Climate Challenge.

Professor Nick Paul from the University of the Sunshine Coast was interviewed for the episode, discussing the role seaweed can play in reducing the cattle emissions. “Our research team put on our wetsuits to film at Moffat Beach …

where we collected a puffy pink seaweed called asparagopsis that grows prolifically along the coastline,” Mr Paul says. “This particular seaweed has been proven to completely knock out the methane emitted by cows every time they burp.

“If we can feed every cow in Australia, we could cut the country’s greenhouse gas emissions by 10 per cent.”

Hosted by Craig Reucassel, the episode is available to watch on ABC iView.

Protecting our lifestyle and liveability If we want the Sunshine Coast to continue to be a beautiful, liveable location as it inevitably grows to more than 518,000 people in the next 20 years, an efficient and accessible public transport network is critical.

Our council has long recognised that to accommodate this forecast growth and still enable residents to move about efficiently, there is a need for the other tiers of government to focus on, and commit to, a viable and accessible public transport network.

At a special meeting last week, council discussed the next steps in planning for a mass transit system for the Sunshine Coast.

I encourage the community to view the live-streamed meeting via council’s website. For all the details, please visit the Mass Transit project web page. You can also subscribe to receive regular Sunshine Coast Mass Transit project updates.

Aquatic Centre upgrades I am pleased to advise the refurbishment and filter replacement for the 50-metre pool at Kawana Aquatic Centre is now complete.

Work included removing aged surfaces and the pool shell, and replacing the existing filtration system with a highly efficient single filter. The pool was also fully tiled and new lane markings installed to support competitive events. These works were complete during the venue’s COVID-19 shutdown, which ensured minimal disruption to patrons.

Pathway upgrade Work is underway to replace the failing pathway along Avondale Place, Little Mountain with a new 1.8-metre wide concrete pathway. Our footpath network plays an important part in connecting our neighbourhoods and keeping everyone safe, which is why I remain committed to working towards the funding and delivery of these specific localised projects.

Pacific principal’s national recognition WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

R

emembering Pacific Lutheran College when there was no road out to the school, principal Bronwyn Dolling says it is a community effort that helped her be recognised as one of Australia’s most influential educators.

Celebrating 20 years as the school’s principal, Ms Dolling made The Educator Australia hot list for 2020.

She is one of 75 professionals recognised by the magazine for making a significant contribution to the kindergarten to Year 12 education space over the past 12 months.

“This is a great celebration for the whole team,” Ms Dolling says. ““We have always been clear on the culture of thinking we have wanted to build.

“We have had teams of people over the year who have sat down to progressively set out a vision for our learners and leaders.”

Ms Dolling says the school has a strong focus on well-being growth as well as the importance of curricular and co-curricular learning. She says the

Bronwyn Dolling with Pacific Lutheran College students challenges that this year has presented for learning is something the school had been working towards as part of the strategic plan.

“We had already been working on how we could integrate digital resources into our learning, but that was just accelerated this year.

“Part-way through term one we started upskilling staff, students and parents. We wanted to maintain as much

of the Pacific environment as possible.

“We also wanted home learning to be a point of optimism and hope. Then when home learning began in term two we were clear and ready to go.”

Ms Dolling says she has seen a lot of students and change in her 20 years at Pacific since its humble beginning.

“We now have just over 1000 students.

I even have old students who are now bringing their own children in.”

A free program to assist Queenslanders support their mental wellbeing has launched through The University of the Sunshine Coast’s Thompson Institute.

The eight-week preventative program, called Emerald, offers one-on-one telehealth appointments and online education for adults with new feelings of worry, loneliness or gloominess.

Dicky Beach club coach recognised

Cinnamon O’Shanesy Dicky Beach Surf Life Saving Club’s Cinnamon O’Shanesy has been named Sports Rookie Coach of the Year at the virtual Surf Life Saving Queensland’s Awards of Excellence.

The beach and pool rescue coach won the award for the Sunshine Coast division, before progressing on to the state awards on August 26.

“Thank you Cin for all your hard work and dedication,” the club said in a statement.

Surf Life Saving Queensland CEO Dave Whimpey commends all Sunshine Coast award winners for their service. “Our volunteer surf lifesavers and lifeguards are the backbone of our organisation and I congratulate all of those rewarded tonight for going well above and beyond the call of duty,” he says.

Sunshine Coast Jazz Club is thrilled to be back at Caloundra Power Boat Club, bringing to its members and supporters what they have all been craving – all that jazz.

With reduced numbers to comply with government restrictions, and huge demand, the show was booked out.

Border closure 10 days out meant the band Trombone Kellie and the Muddy Roaders (from the Tweed valley) had to cancel but were quickly replaced by Russell Bayne and The Session Band (from Brisbane).

What a time they all had. Those who were lucky enough to secure seats loved the afternoon, as did the band.

The club hated turning anyone away and has now arranged for two shows for September with Hot Hot Hot exclusively from Mackay and in October, a new local band – Simon Drew and His Sextet – will perform.

Already September is almost booked out for both shows, and there have been steady bookings for October, so if you love fabulous live music, contact Richard on 0427 782 960 or visit sunshinecoastjazzclub.net.au.

Bear the rescue dog with Dr Romane Cristescu

Give Bear a pat on the back WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

W

hen devasting bushfires ravished the northern Sunshine Coast region last year, wiping out endangered koala habitats, it was one four-legged friend who helped find survivors when human couldn’t.

Bear the rescue dog was a real hero of last year’s Sunshine Coast bushfires and he will be a special guest at an upcoming Queensland Koala Crusaders meeting.

We all saw the heartbreaking photos of koalas burnt, injured, traumatised and even dead, but the blue-eyed dog in his red

boots venturing tirelessly through scorching stubble and ashes, captured the world’s hearts.

Now an international television star, Bear the rescue dog was deployed to help with locating koalas in New South Wales after his success on the Sunshine Coast, and helped locate more than 100 koalas.

He’ll be joined by his canine tracker buddies, Maya and Baxter at the meeting.

Conservation ecologist and koala researcher Dr Romane Cristescu trained the dogs here on the Sunshine Coast as part of the Detection Dogs for Conservation project with Associate Professor Celine Frere. Dr Cristescu’s interests centre on how we can best help wildlife in a world dominated by humans, recently focussing on developing koala scat detection dog methods since 2011, and drone-mounted thermal camera surveys since 2017.

“The team has featured in news media across the world since we worked with the International Fund for Animal Welfare to deploy detection dog Bear to find injured and displaced koalas following bushfires across New South Wales and Queensland,” Assoc Prof Frere says.

Since establishing Detection Dogs for Conservation at the University of the Sunshine Coast in 2015, the team has grown to include four detection dogs and many researchers looking into landscape ecology, wildlife disease, conservation genetics, community empowerment and innovation for conservation.

In addition, the team is involved in koala welfare, in partnership with wildlife rescue groups. This mission became critical in 2020, with the team spending many months searching and rescuing koalas in the aftermath of the megafires.

Assoc Prof Frere was recently named Queensland Young Tall Poppy Scientist of the Year. The award recognises excellence in research and enthusiasm for communicating science beyond the walls of the laboratory.

Dr Frere says the title is a great honour because, while science is a vital pursuit, it is also important to share findings with the world to drive change and find solutions.

“Science is critical to our understanding of the world and, certainly in my field, how we manage our resources to protect our precious ecosystems,” she says.

The Queensland Koala Crusaders meeting is open to the public on Monday, September 7 at USC from 5.30pm.

Trekker’s plan for epic climb WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

I

Gary McKitterick-Gillett

magine climbing Mount Coolum 42 times in five days?

That is the goal for trekker Gary McKitterick-Gillett as he prepares for his #everesttrekforparkinsons.

When international borders closed earlier this year, Mr McKitterick-Gillett was forced to rethink his plans to tackle Mount Everest to raise money for Parkinson’s disease.

From October 12 he and a group of trekkers will climb Mount Coolum until they have trekked 8848 metres, the height of Everest.

“Every two or three years I go to Nepal and do a trek and I usually raise money for the Shake It Up foundation,” Mr McKitterick-Gillett says. “Every dollar we raise goes straight to Australian research by the Australian foundation, which is linked to the Michael J Fox Foundation.”

As an allied health worker at Nambour Hospital who works closely with people living with the disease, and having a close family friend with Parkinson’s, Mr McKitterick-Gillett says this is his way of helping. “We try to raise awareness, discussion and a few dollars.”

“The Sunshine Coast has over 2000 people with Parkinson’s disease, so our efforts will hopefully make their lives better. #everesttrekforparkinsons is aiming to raise at least $10,000 to help find a cure for Parkinson’s.”

Mr McKitterick-Gillett admits he is disappointed the group will not be able to tackle Everest, but is looking forward to the new challenge.

“Everest has always had that appeal to it, that iconic allure,” he says. “At least with Coolum there will be no altitude, cold and remoteness.

“But it will be hot and humid.”

The team has been training for 18 months and climbs Mount Coolum for two hours every Monday.

Mr McKitterick-Gillett says he hopes locals will donate or start their own Everest challenge. The only condition being that they accumulate 8848 metres of trekking.

To donate or pledge your own trek visit shakeitup.grassrootz.com/everesttrek-for-parkinson-s. Follow Mr McKitterick-Gillett’s story at his Facebook page Trek Ready Himalayas.

Welcome Mitch Mudjimba’s North Shore Community Centre (NSCC) has welcomed a new volunteer to its team.

From September 16, visitors can set off on an adventure through the rainforest searching for their favourite characters including Mouse, Fox, Owl, Snake and the Gruffalo.

“As one of the most popular attractions on the Coast, we’re excited to bring this incredible free experience to visitors at the Ginger Factory,” Ginger Factory tourism manager Brenda Bailey says.

“Kids and their families are going to have a blast as they follow The Gruffalo Trail through our rainforest and watch the characters come to life on their phone screen.

British film classic is playing at drive-in Sunshine Coast residents are invited to enjoy an old-school movie from the comfort of their cars at the drive-in theatre in Eumundi.

Sunshine Coast Council Libraries will host the 1960s British classic To Sir with Love at the Eumundi Showground on Saturday, September 12.

Originally scheduled for Senior’s Week, the date was pushed back due to weather.

To Sir With Love is a classic 1967 British drama film that deals with social issues in a tough inner-city school in London, and stars Sidney Poitier and singer Lulu in her film debut.

Mr Poitier plays Mark Thackery, an out-of-work engineer who takes up a teaching job at a high school in London’s East End. Unaffected by the rowdy students, Mark implements his own brand of discipline in the class, forcing the pupils

To Sir with Love to treat each other with respect and gaining their trust and friendship.

The award-winning film was based on ER Braithwaite’s 1959 autobiographical novel.

Tickets are $20 per car and patrons are encouraged to BYO food and snacks.

The movie begins at 6pm with live music by Hayden Hack from 5pm when the gates open.

To keep everyone safe, physical distancing measures will be in place with two-metre distances kept between each car and hand sanitising stations around the grounds. All visitors will be required to provide contact details to library staff on arrival and sign out when leaving, as per state government requirements.

Go to library.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au for tickets.

ive music is back in swing at St Andrew’s Anglican College.

When the pandemic set it and learning went virtual, the Peregian Springs-based school uploaded its version of the classic Feeling Good to YouTube, generating nearly 500 views.

Now the school is continuing to set the bar with its first live concert since COVID restrictions began.

Sounds of Swing in late August was an afternoon full of jazz and swing in a miniature, socially distanced, festivalstyle, open-air event on the lawn.

Organising the event did not come without its challenges, but Jazz Orchestra director Andrew Eunson was determined to make the event happen.

“The whole COVID-19 pandemic has really made me think about the things that are important in life – both in the education space but also for humanity,” Mr Eunson says. “Music is so important – it really does tie people together and break down barriers.”

Mr Eunson and his team decided to get creative with the set-up with more than 50 socially distant safe circles.

A livestream was also set up, which had more than 250 live views on the day.

Airport accolade Sunshine Coast Airport has been awarded carbon neutral status for the fourth year under the Airports Council International (ACI) Airport Carbon Accreditation Program.

The highest level of accreditation achievable under the scheme, Sunshine Coast Airport was the first airport in Australia to be recognised as carbon neutral in 2017 and remains the only airport in Australia to have achieved the Level 3+ certification.

Sunshine Coast Airport chief executive officer Andrew Brodie says it is welcomed news and a proud moment for the region. “This award is a significant achievement for the Sunshine Coast, placing us with only five other airports in Asia-Pacific to currently hold the title,” he says.

Sunshine Coast Airport’s achievements include: • A reduction in C02 produced per passenger by 43 per cent since 2012.

• A 12 per cent reduction in tonnes of C02 produced per passenger in the last reporting year.

• A 10 per cent reduction in fuel usage for airport operations.

• Waste reduction of 12 per cent in the last reporting year.

Blue Heart bird hide officially open Bird enthusiasts are rejoicing after Yandina Creek Wetland’s bird hide and trail walk officially opened.

It’s part of Sunshine Coast Council’s Blue Heart area, and Unitywater chairman Jim Soorley is thrilled to share the “environmentally important” site with the community. “This beautiful facility is the beginning of an environmental hub in this region and we’re really proud that our community can come and immerse themselves in nature,” he says.

“We are in a unique position to

explore blue carbon opportunities – where carbon is captured and stored in plants in the wetland – to help reduce the impact of greenhouse gases.

“The blue carbon stored by the wetland could potentially help offset carbon produce through our other projects and business operations.”

The Blue Heart area is made up of more than 5000 hectares of natural floodplain in the Maroochy River catchment. Find the wetland trail at 362-328 River Road, Maroochy River.

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

So, a few weeks ago I spoke of a whale breaching off Moffat beach accidently caught in a photo.

This spread everywhere until someone realised that in actual fact it was a seagull flying through the picture.

Oh, we laughed!!!!

But we are now fast approaching the return migration of the whales. Over the years I have had amazing encounters while paddling in the about 2 – 3 km offshore. Nothing is more amazing then sitting on your board and watching the show slide past you.

Enjoy this fabulous weather and be kind to each other as life is too short!
