Taylor Moss is undeniably fast becoming the queen of country-pop. The fresh-faced, happy-go-lucky singer’s most recent hit has reached 1.2 million streams on Spotify – not a bad achievement for a Sunshine Coast girl who began her career performing covers at local supportive venues.

This week, deputy editor Leigh Robshaw chats with Taylor about overcoming recent hurdles to continue on the path of success. You can read the story on page eight.

For Taylor, performing live at local venues has provided her with many positive opportunities, and she isn’t alone. Numerous talented musicians credit festivals and venues as the springboard they needed to launch their careers – to have their art heard, and a means to put food on the table.

It is one of the industries that has

continually suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the need for public health safety guidelines. But this week, the issue of fairness has been raised with the shock closure of the live music portion of the Sunshine Coast’s popular NightQuarter (story page 14).

The news created an outcry of support for NightQuarter operators and performers, all who champion for the local music scene.

COVID safety plans and social distancing must be adhered to for public safety, but when will we start to see consistency in regulations and allowances? The answer remains to be seen. We will be sure to keep you updated on the NightQuarter’s progress.

Until next week, take care.

AGENDA

Pain in the neck Wait times for elective surgery on the Sunshine Coast are so long, many locals are being referred to Brisbane hospitals.

Words: Kat Donaghey.

P

atients languishing in pain on lengthy waiting lists at Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH) are getting the life-changing public surgery they need within weeks by opting to go to Brisbane.

Off work and bed-bound with debilitating nerve pain, Dave Hawkins was told he would have to wait 27 months for orthopaedic surgery at SCUH, but only four weeks at Brisbane’s Mater.

The Mountain Creek man has suffered since Easter Monday with radiculopathy — a pinching of the nerve root in the spine which renders him unable to move around without “electric” jolts of pain.

But SCUH relegated him to a less urgent Category 3. He was told he would have to put up with the excruciating condition for more than two years before he could get the necessary surgery.

However, as a public patient at Brisbane’s Mater Hospital, which prioritised him as a more urgent Category 2, he was

told it would only be a four-week wait after seeing the surgeon. He has secured an appointment for July 14.

Mr Hawkins says his GP had sent referrals to both hospitals because the doctor was aware of the extreme wait times at SCUH and was urging his patients to pursue the Mater as a quicker alternative.

There were 4227 patients on the SCUH waiting list for elective surgery in the Oct-Nov-Dec quarter. Most of them had been classified as less urgent Category 3.

Category 3 should include conditions with “minimal or no pain, dysfunction or disability, which is unlikely to get worse quickly” and patients should have surgery within 365 days of being added to the list.

Only 272 were listed as Category 1 while 1156 were considered Category 2.

A spokesperson for the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service says as at May 1, the average wait time for elective orthopaedic surgery was 152 days.

Mr Hawkins says it is unbelievable that

his pain, which is so bad he cannot work or function normally, had been lumped in as Category 3.

It’s not the first time Mr Hawkins has experienced this anguish. For 18 months he waited for hip surgery, as his left hip socket ground with bone on bone and was told it would be another 18 months after that. He paid $20,000 (drawn from his super) for life-changing surgery at Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital.

Local Medical Association president Dr Roger Faint says he is “shocked” that one patient could be ranked in two different categories at different hospitals.

“It makes a mockery of the grading system if it is open to interpretation.” Dr Faint says the region’s growth has caused bed blockages, long waits, full theatres and public patients being sent private.

In December, the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service received a share of the Queensland Government’s $250 million funding to clear the elective surgery backlog created by COVID-19. A spokesperson says, “Since November 2020, additional elective orthopaedic sessions have been conducted at Nambour General Hospital, enabling more of the complex surgeries to be performed at Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

Mr Hawkins says the long and painful wait for hip surgery had been so demoralising it left him needing antidepression medication.

“Telling me it’s going to take 27 months for this surgery, they may as well not bother lying to me and just say it’s never going to happen. All I want is for someone to fix me up and get me back to work.”

Do you remember?

Tazos were first released in Australia in 1995 with the Looney Tunes set.

Since then, the Tazo series has grown with various themes, which included The Simpsons sets, Beyblades, Star Wars, Marvel Heroes and ended in 2008 with AFL and NRL footy sets.

Potato chips cause more weight gain than any other food. A Harvard University study of more than 120,000 people found potato chips were to blame for the gain of an average of around 800 grams per person every four years, with French fries adding 1.5 kilograms of weight.

Humans are the only animals whose brains shrink. As we get older, our brains tend to diminish and can suffer from cognitive dysfunction like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. But as best researchers can tell, we are the only animals to whom this shrinkage happens. Tests on other animals have found no similar phenomena – even close evolutionary relatives like chimpanzees and rhesus monkeys.

Top jobs... how much do we earn?

As the latest financial year comes to an end, new statistics from the ATO show it isn’t easy to crack the elusive $200,000 mark. WORDS: Staff writers with AAP.

T

he average Australian earns a little over $60,000 according to new figures. And, if you want to sit amongst the top 10 earners list, you will need to set your career aspirations high.

The latest statistics from the Australian Taxation Office reveal the average taxable income for 2018/19 was $62,549. The issue of gender pay gap has once again come to the forefront, with the figures showing the average man earned $73,219 compared with $51,382 for women.

There was also a wide gap between genders for the average superannuation account balances. The average balance for males was $162,275 compared with $128,068 for females. The overall average was $143,979.

Medical occupations head the list of top earners, with four of the top five working within the industry.

Surgeons on average earn a taxable income of $394,303, followed by anaesthetists on $386,065 and ‘internal medicine specialists’ on $304,752.

These careers are followed by financial dealers on $275,984, then psychiatrists on $235,558.

Engineers, legal professionals and CEOs round out the list.

Keep in mind, it’s not easy to reach these income levels, with only 510,000 Australians out of 14.7 million individuals reporting a taxable income of $180,000 or more.

The figures come as Australians prepare to file their latest tax returns.

According to the ATO, most Australians do their tax return through a tax agent, with 66.8 per cent choosing this method in 2018/19 compared to 32.1 per cent who did it themselves through the myTax website.

The average net tax paid was $19,344 – $23,366 by males and $14,687 by females. Interestingly, around 6.1 million people, or 41.7 per cent of taxpayers, pay 30 per cent of Australia’s taxes, while only the 3.5 per cent of people who earn above $180,000 contribute 31.5 per cent of taxes.

Work-related expenses topped the list of tax deductions in 2018/19, with 8.9 million people receiving a $2331 rebate.

This was followed by just under six million people who received an average $332 for professional management of their tax affairs.

How does the Coast shape up?

Data from the most recent Australian Bureau of Statistics Census (2016) reports that there were 163,202 people in the labour force in the week before Census night in the Sunshine Coast statistical area. Of these, 52 per cent were employed full-time, 36.1 per cent were employed part-time and 7.1 per cent were unemployed.

Eight-and-a-half per cent of the population earned an income of $1750 or more per week ($91,000 per year), while 8.1 per cent sat in the $52,000 to $64,900 per year bracket.

The median weekly personal income for people aged 15 years and over was $612 and $1478 for total family income.

Of the employed people on the Sunshine Coast, 4.2 per cent worked in hospitals (except psychiatric hospitals), 3.3 per cent in cafes and restaurants, 2.7 per cent in aged care residential services, 2.7 per cent in supermarket/grocery stores and 2.4 per cent in primary education.

Enjoy sugar?

You could soon be paying for it…

A 20 per cent tax would be slapped on all sugary drinks under a plan from Australia's doctors to save lives and boost health coffers.

Australian Medical Association president Omar Khorshid has unveiled plans for a radical rethink of how health is funded after the coronavirus pandemic.

The average price of drinks with no nutritional value would rise by 20 per cent in a bid to drive down rates of diabetes, obesity and poor vascular health.

A research paper from the AMA predicts the tax would lead to 16,000 fewer cases of type two diabetes, 4400 fewer cases of heart disease and 1100 fewer strokes over 25 years.

It would raise about $814 million annually to be spent on preventative health measures.

A “temporary shortcut method” for working from home expenses is available for the full 2020/21 financial year. This allows an all-inclusive rate of 80 cents per hour for every hour people work from home, rather than needing to separately calculate costs for specific expenses.

With the end of the financial year on the horizon, the ATO is warning it will be taking particular note of work-related expenses.

Around 8.5 million people claimed nearly $19.4 billion in work-related expenses in their 2020 tax returns.

Australian Taxation Office assistant commissioner Tim Loh says the COVID-19 pandemic has changed people’s work habits, so he expects their work-related expenses will reflect this.

“We know many people started working from home during COVID-19, so a jump in these claims is expected,” Mr Loh says.

“But, if you are working at home, we would not expect to see claims for travelling between worksites, laundering uniforms or business trips.”

The ATO’s data analytics will be on the lookout for unusually high claims, particularly where someone’s deductions are much higher than others with a similar job and income.

Placemaking helps identify what makes neighbourhoods special and distinct from other places within the region, as well as providing new ways to improve those spaces. Knowing this information now will help the council better design a possible future mass transit network, including stations and spaces in and around the coastal corridor.

WOMEN TO SHARE CEO ROLE

DAD’S DEATH INSPIRES RECORD Coast swimmer Kaylee McKeown says the death of her father inspired her to break the 100-metre backstroke world record. The 19-year-old USC Spartans swimmer set a world benchmark at Australia’s Olympic trials in Adelaide on Sunday night. McKeown clocked 57.45 seconds in the 100-metre backstroke final, bettering the previous world record of 57.57 set by American, Regan Smith in 2019. McKeown’s father Sholto passed away in August last year from brain cancer. He was aged 53. “With COVID and the passing of my dad in August last year, it has been a huge build-up to these trials,” she says. “And I have turned it into a bit of a hunger and motivation behind me. I use it every day that I wake up. I know it’s a privilege to be on this earth and walk and talk. So to get up and do that tonight is not really for me but my family.” – AAP

MAKEUP MUMS UNITE Two Queensland mumpreneurs have joined forces to redefine natural children’s play makeup.

With two thriving businesses focusing on safe and natural play makeup for kids, No Nasties and Little Makeup Lovers have collaborated in a venture that’s reaching international markets.

Natalia Michael, founder of No Nasties, reached out to Danielle Matuzic of Little Makeup Lovers after realising the similarities between their businesses.

Local disability service provider, 121 Care, is taking an innovative approach to leadership by co-sharing the chief executive officer role between two of the region’s most experienced 121 Care co-CEO’s Kym Chomley and Feda Adra women in the not-for-profit space. Existing 121 Care CEO Kym Chomley will be joined by award-winning executive Feda Adra as co-CEO. “Feda, the former CEO of Be, has a wealth of knowledge and experience in aged and community care that will be of tremendous value when combined with Kym’s extensive experience in disability,” 121 Care president Faith Baigent says. “Together, Kym and Feda share six decades of senior management experience that are complimentary and broaden the skillset that one CEO would traditionally bring to the role.” Ms Chomley says COVID-19 saw 121 Care realise the importance of being adaptive, flexible and creative through a changing environment.

Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network new president Min Swan with outgoing president, Roz White The Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network has welcomed new president, Min Swan. With a wealth of experience in the financial sector and having established local professional services and event management firm, White House International, Ms Swan will now lead the peak body representing businesswomen in the region.

Ms Swan has moved from her role as vice-president after former president Roz White announced in May she was stepping down.

Ms White, co-owner of White’s Grocers and a visionary businesswoman, held her position for three-and-a-half years and is wishing Ms Swan all the best.

“I handed the baton on to the delightful and savvy Min Swan as the incoming SCBWN president who will enthusiastically and successfully drive the network forward well into the future,” Ms White says.

Starting her own business in the financial services industry at 21 years of age, Ms Swan went on to grow that firm into one of the largest in southeast Queensland. She then went on to implement the rollout of a joint venture with Bank of Queensland, before being asked to move to Sydney to take on the role of senior adviser to the CEO, Financial Planning.

This role provided her with the necessary disciplines, structures and actions of big business to establish prestige event management firm, White House Celebrations, on her return.

White House Celebrations, recently rebranded to White House International to incorporate brand management, has been responsible for many of the major fundraising and corporate events on the Sunshine Coast since 2009.

Ms Swan is dedicated to building world-class reputations for her clients and believes strongly that everyone should have the opportunity to live their potential. myweeklypreview.com.au

“THEY HAVEN’T DONE THIS TO ANYONE ELSE” Over 400 jobs are in jeopardy and the owners of live music venue the NightQuarter are heartbroken after the shock closure of their music venue.

T

he operators of the awardwinning NightQuarter entertainment precinct have vowed to continue their support of the live music industry despite being left devastated by the shock shutdown of their music space.

Last Friday night, Queensland Health officers accompanied by Queensland Police served notice claiming the venue posed an unacceptable risk to public health given the COVID situation and ordered them to close the live entertainment venue immediately.

The order would be in effect “until the end of the declared public health emergency’’, or until approved controls were put in place. The direction did not relate to the night market, only the concert space within the precinct.

Speaking with My Weekly Preview this week, NightQuarter’s Michelle Christoe says Queensland Health has “ripped the lifeblood” from the business and jeopardised the livelihood of 400 Sunshine Coast people. She and partner Ian Van Der Woude deny any breach. They say the concert in question had been managed in accordance with their COVID Safe Plan.

“We’ve had to cancel a million dollars’

worth of events this past year,” Ms Christoe says. “This venue supports over 400 jobs.

We are talking about a lot of jobs for the Sunshine Coast. The people we employ own small businesses. They live week to week, some of these people, and they didn’t anticipate this loss of income.

“We had two ticketed events we had to cancel. People come in from out of town for these. There is the trickle-down effect.

People had to cancel accommodation. It affects tourism, too.

“They haven’t done this to anyone else.

I have spoken to other venues and Queensland Health haven’t even visited them. We have had officials here almost

every weekend. Anyone who has worked with us closely know how seriously we take COVID. I can say hand over my heart that I’ve done the best I can.”

Ms Christoe says the organisation will continue supporting local and national talent in some shape or form.

“How is sport different to a live music event? I love sport,” she says. “I’m not trying to kill sport, but what we’ve been through, we’ve been targeted because we’ve spoken out on behalf of the music industry for so long. We are passionate about it. We can’t control people’s social distancing if it’s not consistent everywhere [at every type of event]. We work to our approved plan, we

work with patrons to enforce the plan.”

Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young says the shutdown relates to “repeated breaches” of COVID safety rules which the health department had tried to get rectified.

“We have worked closely with the operators of NightQuarter for several months in an attempt to help them continue operating in accordance with the Queensland Public Health Directions.

“However, there have been repeated breaches of these directions and several complaints by members of the community in relation to occupant density and physical distancing requirements during events.”

The standing event in question had been modified to include fixed allocated seating after consultation with Queensland Health in April and was managed with detailed briefings with staff and security, signage and event management plans.

Dr Young said in a statement the risk of COVID-19 transmission in confined spaces such as stage and dance areas was “far greater” than the risk at open-air venues like sporting stadiums.

Ms Christoe and Mr Van Der Woude have requested to meet with Queensland Health and Health Minister Yvette D’Ath.

CAN YOU GIVE 5 TOHELP KIDS LIKE LUCAS? The month of June is all about raising money for sick kids at 92.7 MIX FM with the radio station’s Give Me 5 appeal.

T

he face of 92.7 MIX FM’s Give Me 5 appeal, nine-year-old Lucas Bennett, is throwing his full support behind helping sick children just like him.

Lucas has Williams Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder affecting the heart and causing development delays, low muscle tone and learning challenges.

The inspirational Bli Bli youngster is sharing his story to help raise funds for the appeal, which runs over the month of June.

Lucas has had a harrowing year in and out of hospital with respiratory viruses and infections and due to his condition needs a feeding tube to keep his weight up. He also needs extensive therapy.

Lucas’ mum Lauren says despite her son’s energetic and outgoing nature, his anxiety increases when he is in hospital. “William’s Syndrome is complex. It’s a journey of constant appointments and an emotional rollercoaster, but we are trying to find our way,” she says.

“You never imagine that you might need the help of your local hospital, but sometimes life throws you a curve ball and you find yourself on the children’s ward.

“During our stays we have been so lucky to have the Clown Doctors visit to help ease Lucas’ anxiety, plus other distraction resources like the interactive screens, iPads and activities. I’ll never be able to express how those little things make such a big difference.”

Unfortunately, there is no cure for Williams Syndrome, so patients like Lucas must continually be monitored and treated for symptoms through their lives.

A HEARTFELT DONATION

This year’s Give Me 5 appeal is raising funds for a neonatal resuscitation system, an interactive play area for children undergoing day procedures, distraction therapy and ongoing funding for the Wishlist-funded Clown Doctor service to bring smiles and laughter to young patients.

The appeal will also raise funds for an innovative parental support and youth advisory group program to support young adults and provide a circle-of-care for mental health patients in the new Wishlist Centre to open opposite SCUH next year.

For more information or to donate, visit mixfm.com.au.

Sunshine Coast retailer Roz White, of White’s IGA, has shared her emotional story after donating $4000 to 92.7 MIX FM’s Give Me 5 appeal and thanking one of the Coast’s top paediatric doctors, Dr Tom Hurley.

“Dr Tom Hurley is the most amazing man,” Ms White says. “Our 23-year-old son, when he was two years old, he contracted bacterial meningitis and we almost lost our boy. It was touch and go, and Dr Hurley saved his life.”

Dr Hurley is supporting this year’s month-long fundraising appeal to raise funds for a young adult mental health program, which will operate out of Wishlist’s new project Wishlist Centre, to open opposite the Sunshine Coast University Hospital next year.

“We have some very big items this year, and we are very much looking at youth and mental health on the Coast,” Dr Hurley says.

“Because we know with COVID and the stresses around these days, it’s big, there are a lot of young people suffering with mental health issues.

“We have a tsunami of young people with eating disorders, and we have a lot of young people suffering.

We see it in clinics, we see it in our outpatients, in our emergency departments – young people are coming in with the many faces of anxiety, whether it be depression, self-harm, eating disorders. It’s a really big problem.”

600 children saved A new CEO has joined Destiny Rescue and wants the organisation to help end the exploitation and trafficking of children in our lifetime.

WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

A

Sunshine Coast-based organisation helping free children from exploitation and trafficking around the world has welcomed a new leader to spearhead operations. Paul Mergard has been announced as the CEO of Destiny Rescue after finding his “calling” to help children often “robbed of their potential”.

With 20 years’ experience working in not-for-profits and advocating against human trafficking in southeast Asia, Mr Mergard joined Destiny Rescue in 2019 as the executive partnerships manager.

“I’ve always had this sense of calling to do something about the issue of human trafficking,” he says.

“When I became aware of the issue it was just one of those things that has gripped me.

“Helping children reach their potential is often robbed from kids at a very young age through exploitation and trafficking.”

As CEO, Mr Mergard says he has two main goals to help free children from sexual

exploitation, slavery and human trafficking.

“We really see ourselves as playing a leading role in ending the sexual exploitation and trafficking of children in our lifetime.

“We need to bring awareness to people about how sexual exploitation happens.

“What we don’t realise here in Australia is so many of our actions in some way can cause children to be enslaved.”

Mr Mergard says Aussies can unknowingly contribute to child exploitation by purchasing products made in sweat shops or visiting bars and venues in Asia where trafficked children and young women work.

“It’s amazing some of the people I talk to who say, ‘I’ve been to that karaoke bar’.

“I think sometimes people don’t realise what they are doing, so we want to raise awareness for where that happens.”

Another goal is to increase fundraising, as Destiny Rescue is currently limited with the number of children it can help.

“We know there are kids we can help,

“So many of our actions in some way can cause children to be enslaved” Paul Mergard but sometimes we just lack the funds to get them out and on their path to rehabilitation.”

Destiny Rescue works closely with

specialist local police in several countries across Asia and Africa to save children and shut down operations.

Teams often put their own safety at risk, working under dangerous circumstances where criminal gangs are involved, and in countries suffering political turmoil.

Rescuing almost 600 youth this year, children are then put through a personalised rehabilitation program, and where possible, sent back to immediate family or relatives and put through school or vocational training.

“So far in 2021, we have seen 596 rescues across eight nations that we work in,” Mr Mergard says.

“Of these rescues, 275 have been on the Nepal border of people being trafficked into a neighbouring country.

“We have launched operations into Uganda, in east Africa and have seen 99 rescues so far this year.”

Destiny Rescue is marking 20 years since establishing here on the Sunshine Coast and, with the organisation’s head office in Warana, Mr Mergard says a recent cultural shift is seeing more local community support.

“It’s great to reconnect with the community here on the Sunshine Coast,” he says.

“In the last two years we have made some big changes in the way we operate, which has been great to see some significant growth in the organisation.”

Destiny Rescue operates in Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines, Nepal, Dominican Republic, Uganda and several undisclosed nations to free children from exploitation. In 2021 alone, 596 children have been freed by the organisation. To find out how you can support the work they do, visit destinyrescue.org.au.

OUR ECONOMY IS ON TRACK TO COME BACK Australia’s economy is on track to come back. In fact, our economy outperformed all major advanced economies in 2020. In the second half of 2020, it grew at the fastest pace on record and there are now more people in work than before the pandemic.

CONTINUING OUR COMEBACK To build upon the progress we’ve made, the next steps in the plan provide more support for individuals, families and businesses to help secure the economy and create more jobs.

JOB CREATION IS ON TRACK

SMALL BUSINESSES ARE ON TRACK

Over the next 10 years, many more local jobs will be created and secured through investment in roads, rail and community infrastructure.

We’re supporting hard hit industries such as aviation, tourism and international education.

More homes will be built in more communities thanks to HomeBuilder and the New Home Guarantee.

More training will be available through JobTrainer.

And there’ll be new apprenticeships, traineeships and more places in higher education.

And there’ll be more opportunities for families to access work with more affordable childcare.

LOWER TAXES & GREATER SUPPORT FOR MORE AUSTRALIANS

And continuing tax incentives, such as the Instant Asset Write-off, to encourage businesses to invest, to grow and to create more jobs.

Tax cuts for 10 million low and middle income earners will put more money in their pockets to spend at local businesses, creating more economic activity and more jobs.

We’re improving employment services so that employers and job seekers are more easily matched.

It’s a plan that will not only help Australia come back, but come back better than ever.

And our $1.2 billion investment in digital infrastructure, skills, and incentives means that more businesses in communities right across Australia can be part of the thriving digital economy.

T

aylor Moss has had an epiphany.

At just 26, she has been a working musician since she first set foot in a recording studio at the age of 15 and has never slowed down.

But this year, she was forced to not only slow down, but to stop singing completely after she underwent vocal surgery. She took 10 weeks off to recuperate and realised it was time to drop the covers and start focusing on her original music.

The Tewantin country-pop performer is a stalwart of the Sunshine Coast music scene and has made a living from performing covers, while gradually building

her profile as an original recording artist, visiting Nashville a number of times on self-funded trips to refine her art. But with chart successes bolstering her confidence, she has now come into her own.

“Personally, I feel the surgery was a bit of a blessing,” she say. “I’ve been working flat out in the industry for 10 years and never really had time off. I’m at a stage in my life where more than anything, I want to be vulnerable, more open and connect with an audience. I feel I can connect more by speaking my truth. I love sitting in a room full of people, or even showing my mum a song I’ve just written, and pouring my heart out.”

Ms Moss’ most recent single, Ain’t No Girly Girl, recently reached 1.2 million streams on Spotify and she’s about to perform her first show of all-original material at the upcoming Red Hot Country Music Festival on June 25.

“Ain’t No Girly Girl is definitely a bit of a girl anthem,” she says. “I wrote that song as a bit of a statement to say, ‘you know what? Girls can drive a ute, go fishing, go camping, enjoy drinking a rum and still be absolutely beautiful inside and out.’ I’ve grown up around all those things; I’m a country girl at heart. I dress like a girl, but I’m a big tomboy.

“I really would love to be a role model for young women. I want them to look at me and listen to my music and feel strong,

powerful and beautiful. I think every single human on this earth should feel worthy.

Women in this day and age have such an expectation to feel and do things in a certain way. At the end of the day, we’re all unique and human.”

Ms Moss is currently enjoying being young and single, living on her own in Tewantin and channelling every spare second into her career. “I love life and I’m just enjoying my own company,” she says.

“I want [young women] to look at me and listen to my music and feel strong” “I’m married to my music. Your twenties are a really good time for personal growth. How you grow as a person is being superindependent and not needing anybody.

“I’m writing two songs a week at the moment and my ultimate goal is to be the most successful independent country-pop artist in Australia. While there are definitely benefits to being signed to a label, I want to stay independent as long as possible, because I have control over what I do.”

Eight months ago, TV personality Ian

‘Dicko’ Dickson offered to manage Ms Moss because she is, in his words, “talented, likeable and marketable”.

“The one thing Dicko said when he started working with me was that he wants me to be authentically myself as much as I can. He said, your personality sells your music. He has not once tried to change me.

If anything, he has tried to encourage me to be even more comfortable in my own skin than I already have been.”

For someone so young, Ms Moss is full of confidence and belief in herself and it’s not hard to picture her reaching the heights of success in her chosen career. She’s energetic and bubbly with a high-octane personality that has led some to dub her the ‘Energizer bunny’.

“I recently wrote a song called Too Much. One verse in the song is, ‘I’ve been made aware I’m exhausting, my confidence is overbearing and I’m annoying.’ I’m aware I am too much and that’s not my issue; that’s someone else’s issue,” she laughs.

“I would say my brain is like scrambled eggs, 24/7. My brain is full of metaphors, ideas, concepts, branding…it doesn’t switch off. I’m passionate and I have a vision. I want to connect with my fans on a personal level, whether that’s actually getting to know them one by one or connecting with them on a musical level. I also want to go back to Nashville.

“As soon as we can travel again, I’m

there. It’s a really inspiring place to be.

Everyone there has the same goal and the same dream and every single person supports each other.

“If I could sell out a venue with a couple of thousand people, I would be the happiest girl alive.”

For now, she’s focused on rehearsing for her shows at the Gympie Music Muster in August and future shows.

“Over the last two months, I’ve been focusing on building my Taylor Moss original show with my own band. They are a talented bunch of boys who are focused on the project…

“To find the right musicians who are dedicated to the project is actually really tough. I’ll be showcasing my singles but I always want to show people my new songs.

The show is full of new material that has never been heard before.”

A LITTLE BIT COUNTRY The unmistakable sound of goodhearted country music will take over the Sunshine Coast when The Red Hot Country Festival with Casey Barnes, Taylor Moss and The Buckleys kicks off on Friday, June 25. The event runs from 4pm to 10pm and is supported by Arts Queensland and NightQuarter.

Bowel cancer survivor Sally Kriel, pictured with her two young sons, is sharing her story to help other parents facing a diagnosis

THANK YOU BLOOMHILL When Sally Kriel received a devastating diagnosis, Bloomhill Cancer Care was there to support her and her family. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

S

ally Kriel’s two young boys were by her side when she was delivered the news, “I’m sorry you have cancer”. The bowel cancer diagnosis came when Ms Kriel was just 38.

As part of the month-long Be There for

Bloomhill campaign, and to coincide with Red Apple Day (bowel cancer awareness day) on June 16, Ms Kriel is sharing her story in the hope of inspiring other young parents facing a cancer diagnosis.

Thankfully for the Sunshine Coast

nurse of 18 years, the cancer was caught early and after major surgery she did not require chemotherapy.

“When I was first diagnosed with cancer, I had an 18-month-old and three-year-old,” she says.

“My greatest drive for recovery and ultimately survival was my wish to be the mum that I had always wanted to be. I wanted to be there for my children and for my husband.”

With no guide on how to parent while she was unwell, Ms Kriel had to navigate her way through parenting during her 12-month recovery.

“Through my diagnosis, I have discovered that the resources and support services for younger parents are lacking. A lot of patient information and funding is targeted at older adults.

“I didn’t have a guide to ‘parent from the lounge’. On a day-to-day basis I learned from trial and error.”

A few weeks post-surgery, Ms Kriel reached out to Bloomhill Cancer Care to receive the support she and her family needed.

“I had heard from colleagues that Bloomhill was a fantastic organisation that supports cancer patients and their families, of all ages. I needed to connect with a team who really understood the emotional and physical needs of a cancer patients at home.

“I needed advice on how to make my recovery easier so that I could get back to my life.”

Ms Kriel has no family history of bowel cancer and says her only symptoms were bloating and intermittent stomach pain for a month before deciding to visit her GP. Her boys, now six and four, have come to enjoy visiting Bloomhill with their mother. “My boys absolutely love the

Bloomhill volunteers who look after them during my appointments,” Ms Kriel says.

“I don’t have to organise or pay for babysitting; they just come with me and we all have an outing.”

To support the Bloomhill campaign, visit www.bloomhill.com.au.

Ms Kriel’s tips for dealing with a cancer diagnosis • Link in with a good GP who understands you and your needs.

• Ask your questions: Ask lots of questions until you have all the facts and understand your condition, the treatments, and recovery times.

• Nourish your mind: Make a point of surrounding yourself with positive stories. Develop a daily practice to nourish your mind – meditation, gratitude, journalling (whatever resonates with you).

• Accept support: Delegate anything you can. If you have anyone in your circle who is putting their hand up and saying “can I help you?” Say, “yes, fantastic”.

• Be kind and gentle on yourself.

• Get help from Bloomhill: You won’t be asked how you are, you’ll be asked, ‘what can we do for you?’.

JOIN IN CALOUNDRA BEACH CLEAN-UP EVENT

Sunshine Coast teenager Poppy Ives is organising clean-up event Spring into Scavenge

A

teenager with a passion for the environment is hoping the community will join in at an event to help reduce rubbish in the region.

Visionary Ocean Warriors founder Poppy Ives is organising Spring into

Scavenge on June 26 and is inviting the community to clean up the local area.

“Participating in the Seaside Scavenge Spring into Scavenge program has given me extra confidence and knowledge to reach out to our local community on the issues of marine debris,” Poppy says.

“It is a fun way to engage the community in beach clean-ups.”

The scavenge involves a waterway clean-up where litter collected can be swapped for trash tokens to purchase quality pre-loved clothes, books and bric-a-brac on the day.

Participants will also learn how to separate and catalogue rubbish to capture data for the Tangaroa Blue Australian Marine Debris initiative.

There will be an educational recycling game for younger children and Visionary Ocean Warriors will have a no-sew station to turn old shirts into reusable bags.

The event runs from 8am to midday in Clarke Place Park, Caloundra. For tickets go to eventbrite.com.au and search ‘Caloundra Spring into Scavenge’.

North Arm State School Year six students and Jinibara traditional custodian BJ Murphy

NORTH ARM STUDENTS GET WATER WISE Students from North Arm State School last month attended a Kids in Action Environmental Project Day at Ewen Maddock Dam. Students took part in a variety of hands-on learning activities and Year five student Olivia says her favourite was future water dreaming.

“We had a water problem to solve,” Olivia says. “We had to find out how much water to give to each town and still have enough water left in the river.

“Each of us had a chance to figure out how we would do it and then the group chose the best solution.”

The activities were a chance to build relationships and learn from Gubbi Gubbi and Jinibara Traditional Custodians along with other First Nations People and environmental specialists.

Students will now work together at school guided by their teacher Vickie Jaenke and other mentors on their own project aimed at inspiring other young people to learn and care for the environment. In September, the students will present their project to other schools at the Kids Teaching Kids Conference at Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Gardens.

Division eight (Coolum Beach, Marcoola, Maroochydore, Mount Coolum, Mudjimba, Pacific Paradise, Point Arkwright, Twin Waters, Yaroomba) Keeping our parks beautiful and our beaches and local shops accessible is important for my communities, which is why I’ve committed funding to renew the pathway in front of the shops on Lorraine Avenue, Marcoola.

This upgrade will improve safety and match the finish on the pavement to the newer footpath along Marcoola Esplanade. Starting on June 21, works will take place in two stages to ensure access and connectivity to surrounding businesses.

Picnic Point Esplanade foreshore had some landscaping completed recently with new boulders and trees planted.

We should also soon see a new shade sail constructed over the playground in Birrahl Park, Yaroomba to create a sun-safe play environment for our littlies. Plans are afoot to build an additional shelter in the park to house an electric barbecue and more seating for locals and visitors to enjoy.

Mother-daughter duo Kate (front) and Lucy Holzer have begun No Lights No Lycra classes on the Sunshine Coast self-consciousness and get into it and always leave with a big sweaty smile.”

Lucy, who is studying occupational therapy at the University of the Sunshine Coast, says the classes attract people of all ages. “It’s fun to hear everyone’s reaction of clapping or whooping when their song comes on, or a cheesy classic or change in tempo when a bit of Bollywood or Latin Salsa comes on,” she says.

“We’ve had 12-year-olds and 74-yearolds, and everything in between.”

No Lights No Lycra is held Wednesday nights at Mountain Creek State School. Get booking details on the Facebook page.

BUDERIM MAGNESIUM HOUSE

............

A mother and daughter duo is offering a way to relieve the stresses of life through dance.

Kate and Lucy Holzer started No Lights No Lycra in March, allowing participants the chance to dance in the dark each week and forget the world around them.

“The darkness creates a certain kind of magic that forces you to forget about what you or the people around you look like, so that your brain can shut off and your body can move with the beat,” Mrs Holzer says.

“It’s the perfect place to shake out the stresses of the week, let go of your inhibitions and completely be yourself.”

The weekly classes, based in Mountain Creek, have been growing in numbers.

Mrs Holzer says she was inspired to create the outlet after looking for something to escape her own busy life. “I’m a teacher by day and the thought of going to the gym or for a jog after work doesn’t always appeal to me. But the thought of going for a boogie will get me every time.”

She says No Lights No Lycra is a great way to keep fit without the feeling of self-consciousness. “I love that I don’t have to remember steps or worry about what others think of my dodgy dance moves.

“People often come in a little nervously if it’s their first time but as soon as those lights go out, they lose that feeling of

BURGER JOINT EXPANDS INTO SUNSHINE COAST Getta Burger opens in Warana with more Sunshine Coast venues planned for the future. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

A

fter a year-long trip to America in 2008 and returning home with a love of burgers and less than $1000 between them, a Queensland couple has turned a food passion into a reality.

Some 13 years and 17 stores later,

Brent and Amy Poulter’s company Getta Burger continues to grow, and locals can now get their hands on a mouth-watering feed at the new Warana store.

Mr Poulter, who also owns the recently opened Cach Song in Noosa, and Low N Slow Meat Co in Brisbane, says

Getta Burger came about after an idea to start a food truck eight years ago.

“It took us about three or four years to do something about our passion that we found in America.”

Eventually that passion led to Mr Poulter spending 18 months building his food truck, That Barbecue Joint, in his backyard.

“About six months into that we thought we would develop into another brand and see if we could sell a few burgers to pay the rent. So, that’s where we started Getta Burger.”

When choosing destinations for a store, Mr Poulter says he liked the idea of giving customers who live in the suburbs the chance to enjoy something usually found in the city and hoped to open more Sunshine Coast stores in the future.

“We like to operate in areas such as Warana where great people live and giving an experience you’d traditionally have to go to the city for. We tend to fill that burger gap in that space.

“With Warana looking the way it is has definitely spiked some interest in me to continue to master plan the Sunshine Coast and get a few more up and running.”

Getta Burger is at Shop 6, 179 Nicklin Way, Warana.

TOWERS TURNED ON Residents in Baringa, Bellvista, Caloundra West and Glenview are now enjoying improved mobile phone reception, including 5G connectivity, thanks to the switching on of two new Telstra towers.

After advocating for the towers, Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace says it is “terrific news” for residents in Baringa and Glenview who have been struggling with connectivity for years. “I started receiving complaints from local residents in Baringa about their lack of mobile phone reception almost as soon as the suburb’s first houses were built,” Mr Wallace says.

The towers are located at 469 Old Caloundra Road, Glenview, and in the land east of Baringa State Secondary College, and will ensure consistent 5G coverage across the Aura development, Bells Creek, Meridan Plains and Glenview. 5G mobile technology allows large downloads to be completed in seconds, along with seamless streaming of multi-media content.

More than $70,000 was raised at the Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge Paws for a Cause fundraiser and the launch of The Shelter the Sunny Coast Built program. The event was a chance to raise much-needed funds for a new dog shelter. During the event more than $20,000 in donated items were auctioned and eight of the 20 pens were sponsored. Buster, pictured, was also adopted the day after the event.

Congratulations to Maroochydore VIEW Club’s Jan Fenton on receiving the Making A Difference Award from VIEW Australia.

BUDERIM WALK REMEMBERS AUNTY BETTY More than 300 people attended the Aunty Betty Memorial Reconciliation Walk earlier this month at Buderim Forest Park to honour the memory and work of wellregarded elder Aunty Betty McMahon.

An initiative of the Sunshine Coast Reconciliation Group Inc (SCRGI), the event was part of Reconciliation Week and aligned with the 2021 theme ‘More than a word, reconciliation takes action’.

SCRGI secretary Maggie Ross says Aunty Betty, who had been patron of SCRGI, was remembered as a woman

of action. “A highlight was young people responding to an impromptu call from Lyndon Davis, of the Gubbi Gubbi Dance Troupe, to join them in corroboree,” she says. “The event concluded with a conducted walk of Buderim Forest Park, led by Lyndon, followed by morning tea.”

Event sponsors included UnitingCare, Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service, North Coast Aboriginal Corporation for Community Health, Life Without Barriers, Suncare Community Services, and the Queensland government.

Getting together to share stories and a laugh is one of the most special things we can all experience and when you’re Kasey Chambers, Tom Busby and Jeremy Marou, those get-togethers inevitably involve a beach campfire, some fishing, a few guitars and great songs. This tour will be a special series of shows that bring together great friends who just happen to write incredible songs and love to share a story.

MY OPINION dumb or inappropriate – whether in word, image or laughing at or otherwise supporting someone else who does these.

And they will do it on the internet, where nothing ever really disappears.

While we can talk all we like about being mindful of their future, how many 18-year-olds are living as if they will be squarely in the international spotlight in nine years’ time? Not many, I say.

And not many can imagine how something they think is witty today will be interpreted, let alone seen through their own adult eyes. Robinson found that out the hard way.

Digital natives have it tough, where past behaviour is concerned and it is only going to get tougher. They are the first generation to have a life so meticulously documented in a public space.

But they can’t say they didn’t know – they are instructed and warned at every turn about being responsible for what they post, their online interactions, their responsibilities to each other.

It is ingrained in every message they get from the authoritative world: police warn about sexting, schools warn about bullying, their mums warn them about posting pictures that feature a dearth of clothing.

But still the power of the peer and the smell of teen spirit is stronger.

Cases of adolescent stupidity and insensitivity is vastly different from full-grown adults doing dumb things and sharing it with the world.

The internet might be endless, but its bounds are not. Nothing is ever lost and everything is within the bounds of the law.

And if social media has helped build a person’s profile, it can also tear them down.

The internet remembers everything.

Jane Stephens is a USC journalism lecturer, media commentator and writer.

THE INTERNET WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR YOUTHFUL INDISCRETIONS In the future, will we regret that Facebook post, that clever quip on Twitter or that hot-headed retort sent in a fit of such fury that the keyboard almost caught fire?

Consider the recent case of poor English fast bowler Ollie Robinson, who had a searing debut for his country against New Zealand, taking four wickets in the first innings, three in the second and scoring a handy number of runs.

It was a dashing start for a rising star, except that Robinson has now been sent packing from the English camp after a handful of puerile social media posts he made at age 18 and 19 were disinterred.

They were racist, sexist silliness – the kind young men post to humour their mates.

But they were enough for the England and Wales cricket board to suspend him from all international cricket, pending the outcome of a disciplinary investigation.

It is hard to imagine that many of the younger generation will escape their formative years without doing something

YOUR

VOICE ABUSING POWER I’m writing in response to Michael, Moffat Beach (letters, June 10). I’m saddened to read his letter about being fined $260 for picking up rubbish and particularly broken glass in the park where kiddies play. This is another example of why ‘council’ has become a dirty word. This certainly cannot be upheld and an apology be issued to this fabulous man. I, for one, am sick of seeing these people given some power, only to use it for nasty purposes.

CHINA’S SHAME May we never forget that June marks another anniversary of the Tiananmen (Gate of Heavenly Peace) Square Massacre, when in 1989, hundreds of university students were murdered and crushed under Chinese tanks for defending the ideal of a free and democratic China. Even today, the victims’ mothers are still prohibited to lay wreaths in the square, as Beijing denies the tragic incident. Australia continues to ignore China’s brutal repression of its citizens under its one-party Communist rule for the sake of trade and profit. During the 10 years of Mao’s Cultural Revolution

LOVING THE NZ BUBBLE I had a super trans-Tasman trip catching up with family and friends. NZ Tourism has a new initiative – the New Zealand Polite Force aim to create a more socially connected society, chatting to visitors, telling them the many benefits of the area.

My sis and I were walking through Christchurch and were approached by three volunteers and they couldn’t believe they were speaking to the converted. We’ve had interstate friends and family visiting and spent time around many beautiful places including Alex Beach, the superb Mary Cairncross Reserve and Dicky Beach.

Tell a tourist where to go? Where to start – there are so many choices!

MY OPINION

STOP THE MADNESS

SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE

Ashley Robinson is sick and tired of disrespectful youths who don’t have to face the consequences of their actions.

Sami Muirhead is feeling nostalgic for the good old days, after visiting the Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show last weekend.

S

adly, there was a joke going around last week before Origin one in Townsville that had a sign saying ‘Welcome to Origin, park your car here, pick it up over there after the game’, which was in reference to the current crime spree in the north. The thing is it’s not just in the north but all over the state and it seems a lot of it is youth. Of course in general our youth are wonderful, but a growing minority of badly behaved young teenagers with no respect for anything is a growing concern and we all need to be careful that it doesn’t become the majority.

Which baffles me when you see parts of the state government mulling over whether they need to lift the age of prosecution to 14, which would mean only one thing: a mathematical reduction of crime numbers, because they couldn’t be prosecuted. I find that astounding when you can walk the streets and see poor behaviour, vandalism and lack of respect with no fear of consequences. A light bulb moment by a government who can say they reduced the crime figures when in fact they are just manipulating the numbers.

Go and sit in a park and witness some

T

of the behaviour; now imagine what it will be like if they have no fear of prosecution until they are over 14. I have been silly enough to ask a kid to stop vandalising something and the standard response is to roll out the paedophile call.

If that doesn’t convince you, put yourself in the driver’s seat of a public bus operator and watch kids jump on, tell the driver they have no money but you can’t kick me off and then disrespect the driver and paying passengers.

Who would drive a bus? I take my hat off to them. Maybe it should be a gold coin donation to The Daniel Morcombe Foundation as minimum fare, which at least would be a positive.

Being involved in footy, surf lifesaving and sport in general, I have always thought it very worthwhile as you meet some wonderful youth. It is rewarding, but the way we are going they are going to be outnumbered unless we are all strong enough to put a line in the sand to stop what is nearly at pandemic levels.

Mortimer J Adler said, “True freedom is impossible without a mind made free by discipline.” Amen to that.

he world is changing rapidly.

Mobile phones accompany us everywhere. Siri and Google can answer most questions for us and what did we do before the invention of the internet? Autograph books are basically obsolete. So too are phone books. But I had a lovely reminder this week that some things remain the same in our lives.

I went to the Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show in Nambour and it made me stop and think some things have not changed. We just need to look for them. I took much joy in showing my kids sideshow alley. Okay, the prices have changed, but they still have the clowns and the fishing game and the game where you shoot metal little milk cans over. Except you cannot shoot the cans over, as I am pretty sure they are weighed down in some dodgy trick set up to rip off kids and parents alike.

We ate dagwood dogs, which my children kept calling ‘downward dogs’, and we watched the fireworks with a feeling of total satisfaction after spending the day roaming the showgrounds in a fog of nostalgia laughing at all of the entertainment.

In my family, we still carry on with

another tradition. I was raised with the family roast on a Sunday night. There is something very cathartic about eating roast potatoes and meat covered in gravy that is good for the soul. The duck fat does not hurt my soul either, although it may be hurting my cholesterol levels.

And my kids have just discovered fishing. Another pastime from when I was a kid that is still a hugely popular thing to do on the weekends. I find it relaxing, even though my husband and I spend the entire time baiting hooks and untangling wayward fishing lines. But there is something about simply throwing out a line as you sit and take in nature that is very hypnotic and makes me very happy. We even fish at the same spot I would cast a line from over 45 years ago.

Vegemite on toast is still in my life after five decades. So are Milo, Frosty Fruits, and two-minute noodles.

And here is a special treat for the kids this school holidays: simply make a hole in a wooden ruler and bang a pencil in it and you have the original fidget spinners before they were on the must have list.

You are welcome.

FAMILY REFERRALS PUT COUPLE IN A DREAM HOME

W

ord of mouth recommendations by family members can be a powerful incentive when it comes to making major purchases such as a new home. This was certainly the case for new GemLife Maroochy Quays

residents Jim and Colette Cameron, who haven’t stopped smiling since they moved in six weeks ago.

“This was the best thing we have ever done,” says Mr Cameron.

Despite having built a new home on the Sunshine Coast three years ago, the

couple’s daughter had suggested they look for something more maintenancefree, just as Mrs Cameron’s brother Wade and his wife Judy Jensen had done in 2019 when they moved into GemLife Highfields’ over-50s resort in rural Highfields near Toowoomba.

“Family will tell you how it really is so knowing Wade and Judy had moved into GemLife Highfields, we went over and visited them,” Mr Cameron says.

“What they told us and what we saw really opened our eyes to a whole new and appealing way of living. We loved the country club and the ten-pin bowling, heated pool and bar, and couldn’t believe what we had been missing.”

The Jensens were only too happy to show off what they described as their fabulous resort lifestyle.

They claim their new lifestyle transformed them from almost never going out when they lived on their own four-bedroom family property in the same area previously, to being social butterflies at GemLife Highfields.

“Living as a part of the GemLife Highfields community has changed our lives for the better,” Mrs Jensen says.

The couple was originally introduced to the resort by a work colleague who had visited and passed on a brochure to them.

“The social side is amazing,” Mrs Jensen adds.

“We walk and have also started up a mahjong group, play cards, tennis and darts while also regularly enjoying the country club’s pool, spa, sauna and golf simulator.”

“Add all these activities to the top quality of the homes and the appealing financial structure on offer, and it is no wonder we delight in recommending the resort to our family and friends.”

Mr and Mrs Cameron say that the high praise for GemLife resorts, combined with their own experiences enjoyed while visiting, swayed them so much that they immediately booked an appointment with the GemLife Maroochy Quays sales team on the Sunshine Coast.

“We were hooked at first sight and will never leave now.

“This is what you could really call the good life and we’re loving it.”

GemLife Maroochy Quays offers luxurious low-maintenance homes together with premium recreational facilities at its soon-to-be-completed country club and recently opened luxury summer house.

HIGH DEMAND DRIVES EARLY RELEASE OF EXCLUSIVE LUXURY HOMES IN BUDERIM The newest release of homes at B by Halcyon, Buderim’s only luxury lifestyle community, has been moved forward to satisfy pent-up demand.

In one of the community’s most anticipated releases, 12 luxurious homes backing on to the 100-year-old rainforest will be released in July.

Regional project director Chris Carley says the Rainforest Series’ prime location is enhanced further by sites that are 25 per cent bigger than the average home site at B by Halcyon.

The Rainforest Series is all about homebuyer choice and flexibility, along with an impressive list of extras.

“All of these homes come with a stone façade and a Tesla battery, further cementing B by Halcyon’s commitment to our greenest homes ever,” he says.

“Buyers can choose between a bigger home with a media room and study or have more outdoor space with a bigger yard and atrium.”

Mr Carley says the Rainforest Series comes with the option of selecting from three Home Choices Packages.

The Chef’s Selection Package offers

The Gardener’s Paradise Package gives the buyer the ability to work with Halcyon’s landscaper and landscape architect to design their eight-metre backyard.

New homes are priced from $979,000. Contact 1800 050 050 to register for a private tour of the community.

There’s no question our furry buddies significantly enhance our quality of life, with research highlighting owning a pet can boost vitality and decrease feelings of depression and anxiety.

Nugget, the beloved golden retriever and companion at Lutheran Services’ Immanuel Gardens aged care is one of the many happy animals onsite.

Recently, the community came together to celebrate Nugget’s fifth birthday, treating him to a gourmet minced meat and grated carrot cake.

Immanuel Gardens aged-care service manager Carmel Freeman says pets are a wonderful form of therapy for residents because they have the ability to sense when someone is feeling down and provide a source of heart-warming affection.

“Nugget was training to be an assistance dog when a hip dysplasia diagnosis unfortunately meant this would not be a possibility,” Carmel says.

“Thankfully, he was relocated to Lutheran Services’ Immanuel Gardens in 2016 and he is now the residents’ best furry friend.

“Nugget is extremely perceptive – he always knows who to sit with and is such

a joyful presence around the residence.”

Pets are a source of companionship; they love unconditionally, provide a sense of security, and encourage an active lifestyle – all of which are keys to boosting mental and emotional health in the elderly.

HOW TO CHOOSE A HEARING CLINIC Hearing clinics are usually profit-making businesses like any other store, but some hearing clinics: • encourage clinicians to sell more expensive hearing aids by setting sales targets and other performance measures • pay clinicians commissions and other incentives for selling hearing aids • have arrangements that favour certain brands or types of hearing aids • are owned by companies that manufacture hearing aids • are owned by large overseas companies – you should ask!

• are a shop rather than a clinic.

These factors could influence the price, type and brand of hearing aid that a clinician recommends to you. Don’t feel pressured into purchasing a more expensive hearing aid unless you are satisfied that you need it and be sure to ask lots of questions. Take a family member with you.

Always get a second opinion – it could save you a large amount of money. Get written quotes so that you can compare apples with apples. Do not be afraid to walk out if you feel pressured. Most expensive is not always the best, so take the time to develop a proper rehabilitation plan with your clinician. Always have a trial period. Choose independent and

Australian owned – in the long run it will be better for you and the country.

THE FUTURE OF AGED CARE ON THE SUNSHINE COAST With a world-class hospital, enviable medical facilities, a progressive university, stunning restaurants and resort-style golf courses on our door step, it’s little wonder couples contemplating a simpler and more carefree lifestyle are investigating what the Sunshine Coast has to offer.

An influx of sea-changers is helping shape the region. Sunshine Coast residents are seven years older than the average Australian (37 years of age), while the Census revealed over 65-year-olds make up more than 20 per cent of the Sunshine Coast population, with the figure trending up.

Younger Baby Boomers and those from generation X who are now in their fifties want amenity that will evolve to suit their changing needs.

COVID-19 and the aged-care royal commission forced Sundale and other providers to pause their plans for the Sunshine Coast. However, with clarity returning to the sector, Sundale is looking at the future of aged care with a new renewed focus, so it can cater for the needs of the community for decades to come.

Sundale CEO Danielle Mackenzie says exciting developments are either underway

or scheduled to begin at Coolum, Palmwoods, Nambour and Tewantin.

“Backed by extensive research, coupled with the recommendations handed down recently by the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, we now know what retirees want and the services they will expect in the future.

“Along with great design, couples considering Sunshine Coast retirement communities want evolving in home care services, to feel part of a community and access to innovative technology.

“We’re not far away from driverless cars and voice activation is becoming common place, therefore, it is no surprise technology will be at the forefront of future Sundale developments.”

DENTAL IMPLANTS A GREAT SOLUTION TO MANY ISSUES

Missing teeth? Struggling with sore or poorly fitting dentures? Concerned about your bite? You may be missing teeth from birth, from traumatic incidents, from decay and gum disease, or from wear and tear.

Missing teeth may cause many problems from tipping adjacent teeth, alterations to the bite, and reduction of chewing efficiency (10 per cent for one molar; 25 per cent if you’re missing two molars).

There are three possible solutions – removable dentures, bridgework (which requires reduction of adjacent teeth to

fit the crowns that can potentially result in long-term damage to the teeth) or dental implants.

Dental implants presently provide the most biologically sound toothreplacement method, not relying on adjacent teeth and preserving surrounding bone.

Dental implants are placed with a relatively simple surgical procedure.

There is then usually a healing period.

Subsequently a crown is constructed.

Implants can also be used to provide a full arch of teeth where all of your teeth are missing or need removal. In many instances, implants can be placed at the same time as teeth are removed and occasionally a full arch of new teeth can be inserted within a few days (All-on-4TM) or on the same day (OsseoFrameTM).

Dental implants may also be used to support full dentures (over-denture).

Dr Ian Wilson is a leading oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Dr Wilson has been in specialist practice since May 1989 in Newcastle. Dr Wilson undertakes a variety of oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures, including: • Removal of impacted teeth such as third molars (wisdom teeth).

• Removal of retained roots and fractured/ broken down teeth • ‘Exposure and bonding’ of impacted

teeth (usually canines) to assist with orthodontic tooth alignment.

• Mucosal biopsies of mouth lesions • Diagnosis and management of bone pathology such as jaw cysts.

• Extensive bone grafting for jaw bone defects in preparation for dental implant surgery • Dental implant surgery (including the All-on-4™, Osseo-FrameTM and quad zygoma techniques) to replace missing or decayed teeth.

He first trained in dental implant surgery in 1991. Since that time, he has completed many workshops with world experts including All-on-4™ in 2008, zygomatic implants 2012, advanced bone regeneration course in May 2016, advanced soft tissue regeneration techniques in implant therapy and advanced sinus and posterior maxillary augmentation techniques in implant therapy in July 2016, and Osseo-Frame in 2019.

Being an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, many of the fees at Coast OMS are claimable through Medicare.

Join Living Choice Kawana Island residents for a fun morning of cookery demonstration by popular cook book author and founder of 4 Ingredients, Kim McCosker.

The free event will be held on Thursday, June 29 at 10am, and includes morning tea.

Living Choice sales manager Suzie Gray says the cookery demonstration will provide an opportunity to showcase the retirement resort.

“Just like Kim’s books, we have the top four ingredients for the perfect retirement – location, luxury, lifestyle and, through our Living Choice Home Care services, the ability to live well.”

Knee replacement surgery

Varicose vein surgery

What can cause sciatica to flare?

Treatments for bladder cancer

Knee replacement surgery is a very common procedure. According to the Australian National Joint Replacement Registry, 66,729 procedures were performed in 2019 alone.

Knee replacement surgery has evolved over the years and is now a very successful procedure. Improvements in implants, surgical techniques and various technologies to assist the surgeon have all helped to improve functional outcomes of knee replacements and patient satisfaction. We expect that these improvements will also contribute significantly to implant longevity. Many patients can expect their knee replacement to last over 20 years these days.

Despite the success of knee replacement surgery, there are always risks involved. These need to be discussed carefully with your surgeon.

It is also imperative that surgery be seen as a last resort. Patients should always trial a multi-disciplinary non-operative approach to manage arthritic pain prior to embarking on surgery.

At Sunshine Coast Orthopaedic Group, we offer a world-class selection of surgical and non-surgical solutions to manage your arthritic pain.

Varicose veins are common, they may ache and be unsightly. If left untreated they can cause bleeding, blood clots and skin ulcers.

Varicose veins can be treated with injections, thermal ablation or traditional surgery.

Open surgery for varicose veins usually involves a tie or stripping of the veins. The stripping operation may still provide a better outcome for patients with very large veins. Stripping removes the main superficial vein in the thigh through a small incision in the groin and the inside of the lower thigh.

At the same time the varicose veins are removed through tiny incisions.

This technique involves a light general anaesthetic and a day or overnight stay in hospital.

Bandages applied at the conclusion of the procedure are removed the next day and compression stockings are fitted. Time off normal activities is usually five to seven days. The stocking is worn for 14 days.

For a free appointment with the practice nurse to discuss surgical options for treating your veins, contact Sunshine Vascular on 5453 4322.

Sciatica is a debilitating and painful condition involving the sciatic nerve, which travels from the spine to your lower extremities. Disc bulges that compress the nerves, eventually forming the sciatic nerve, can be triggered and aggravated by simple things such as poor posture, sitting too long without breaks, lifting heavy objects incorrectly and even being overweight.

Keeping an accurate diary of daily movements and pain levels when experiencing discomfort is critical in identifying what may be triggering your sciatic flare. If you can determine the pain is being caused by something that is easily fixed – such as altering your posture when sitting – you might be able to prevent future flare-ups by taking simple action yourself.

There are several treatments available that can help alleviate sciatica symptoms, like pain medication or physical therapy, but they may not work in everyone’s specific case. If the cause of your sciatica pain cannot be found or fixed, ask your GP for a referral to see a specialist who can help resolve the issue.

Bladder cancer is an aggressive cancer with historically poor prognoses. It is estimated 3000 people were diagnosed, and over 1000 died with bladder cancer in Australia in 2020. Many of these tumours are detected early but have a high chance of recurrence – when they recur, they are often incurable.

The mainstay treatment for advanced bladder cancer has been chemotherapy.

While effective, response to treatment is often short-lived. Thankfully, there have been significant improvements in our understanding and treatment of these cancers. Immunotherapy is useful in preventing recurrence of disease after surgical resection. Immunotherapy given after chemotherapy also increases the time until further progression of disease and significantly improves survival in advanced disease. Targeted agents and antibody treatments have also come on the scene in the trial setting, with game-changing results. Combinations of these approaches may allow us to treat many patients who are unsuitable for chemotherapy.

Early signs of bladder cancer include blood in the urine, urinary frequency and discomfort. If experiencing any of these, consult your GP.

EVERYONE CAN GET ON BOARD THE RATTLER! The Mary Valley Rattler is a heritage rail journey through the stunning Mary Valley these school holidays. Steam train journeys depart the historic Gympie Station on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays and an all-access carriage was recently introduced, providing special facilities for wheelchair and other assisted-access passengers.

The railway carriage dates back to 1924 and required extensive renovation and upgrading to make it rail-worthy for the Mary Valley Rattler steam train. Expert Gympie craftspeople brought the carriage back to life with its most comprehensive restoration since its original construction in the Ipswich workshops 96 years ago.

The launch of the Pets on Board service allows passengers to share the experience with their favourite four-legged friend. A carriage has been configured with two segregated booths that can accommodate up to six people per booth with up to two pets per booth from the same family. Pets can travel on board the Rattler on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday services subject to availability and terms and conditions.

Tickets are $12.50 for Cinebuzz members for sessions before 5pm, available at BCC Cinemas Maroochydore, BCC Cinemas Noosa and Event Cinemas Kawana.

Cranston Academy: Monster Zone Bullied for his intelligence and struggling to fit in at school, Danny is a 15-year-old genius that is always coming up with crazy inventions. When he is offered a scholarship to Cranston Academy, a secret, prestigious boarding school for geniuses, Danny views it as a place where he will have a chance to finally fit in.

But a school full of geniuses can make things quite competitive and in his quest to prove his intelligence, Danny inadvertently opens a portal to another dimension and unleashes a slew of monsters on the school – giant flying eyeballs, two-headed dogs and a slimy pink tentacle to name a few.

Together with his roommate Liz, and a professor nicknamed Mothman, Danny must overcome the demons of the fifth dimension and those that lurk inside him in order to save the school. In cinemas June 24.

In the Heights The creator of Hamilton and the director of Crazy Rich Asians invite you to a cinematic event where the streets are made of music and little dreams become big – In the Heights.

In the Heights fuses Lin-Manuel Miranda’s kinetic music and lyrics with director Jon M Chu’s lively and authentic eye for storytelling to capture a world very much of its place, but universal in its experience.

In the Heights stars Anthony Ramos, Corey Hawkins, Leslie Grace, Melissa Barrera, Olga Merediz, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Gregory Diaz IV, Stephanie Beatriz, Dascha Polanco and Jimmy Smits. In cinemas June 24. Visit intheheights.com.au Turn the page for competition details >

Space Jam: A New Legacy

Spirit Untamed

IN CINEMAS JUNE 24

Spirit Untamed is a story of courageous young women and their beloved horses who risk everything to do the right thing. When Lucky, a young society girl, moves west to join her estranged father, she starts a new chapter in her life, makes new friends, and forms an unbreakable bond with a wild stallion she names Spirit. Together, Lucky, her friends and their horses undertake the adventure of a lifetime when they must save the stallion’s herd from a gang of horse wranglers, proving to themselves to be true western heroes. In cinemas now.

NBA champion LeBron James goes on an epic adventure alongside Bugs Bunny in the animated/live-action Space Jam: A New Legacy. This transformational journey is a manic mash-up of two worlds that reveals just how far some parents will go to connect with their kids. When Mr James and his young son Dom are trapped in a digital space by a rogue AI, he must get them home safe by leading Bugs, Lola Bunny and the whole gang of notoriously undisciplined Looney Tunes to victory over the AI’s digitised champions on the court: a powered-up roster of professional basketball stars. It’s Tunes versus Goons in the highest-stakes challenge of his life, which will redefine Mr James’ bond with his son and shine a light on the power of being yourself. In cinemas July 8.

LEO (JUL 24-AUG 23)

VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23)

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

Don’t be a wallflower, Leo! Mars is marching through your sign (until July 29) and there’s a morale-boosting sun-Jupiter trine (on Wednesday), so do your best to promote yourself big time, as you push forward in positive and proactive ways.

The main prerequisite you need is plenty of patience! Expect frustrations involving work on Monday and Tuesday. After which the sun and Jupiter fire up partnerships, so you do your best to achieve the right balance between independence and intimacy.

Polite Librans are the peacemakers of the zodiac. You’ll definitely need your diplomacy skills this week, as the full supermoon stimulates your home zone and you feel as if you’re stuck in an episode of Family Feud!

Be careful that possessive attitudes and jealous behaviour don’t derail a close relationship. Channel your intense energy into a creative or educational project. Plus, aim to be more proactive about protecting your neighbourhood and environment.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

Is it always appropriate to be fearlessly frank? And is honesty always the best policy? Your natural inclination is to be blunt but is everyone ready for your special brand of truth serum? A dollop of discretion and diplomacy will smooth things.

Venus opposes Pluto (in Capricorn) and there’s a full supermoon in your sign, which boosts your ambition.

But it will also fan your control-freak tendencies, which could end up alienating others. Remember – the only person you can control is you!

Courtesy of Pluto and the full supermoon, you’re keen to follow humanitarian or spiritual pursuits.

You’ll seek out the wise counsel of a trusted mentor or play that role yourself to someone who is looking for judicious guidance.

Monday’s Venus/Neptune trine favours art, music and romance. The weekend is good for spending quality time with friends and relatives, as the full supermoon lights up your peer group zone and Mercury moves forwards in your domestic zone.

women’s water polo team, the Stingers, will play a friendly farewell match at St Andrew’s Anglican College on June 27, before the team departs for the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Spectators are welcome and gates open at 4.15pm for a 5pm game. Tickets are available at trybooking.com, search ‘ Aussie Stingers’.

Councillor Jason O’Pray says hosting

T

he Coast is shining a light on women’s sport in June, with the nation’s leading rugby league, netball and water polo players converging on the same weekend (June 25-27) and a first for our region, the Women In Sport Summit.

Sunshine Coast Council, in partnership with Tourism & Events Queensland (TEQ), will host the Ministry of Sport’s third annual Women in Sport Summit at the University of the Sunshine Coast on June 25, attracting some of the most prestigious names in the industry to provide exclusive access to coveted conversations and game-changing

discussions. Sunshine Coast Stadium at Bokarina will host the 2021 Ampol Women’s State of Origin on Friday, June 25, thanks to another partnership between council and TEQ. Gates open at 5pm with an under-19 match and the main game kicking off at 7.45pm. Tickets, starting from just $5, are available from Ticketek.

Sunshine Coast Lightning will take on Collingwood Magpies in Round 8 of the Suncorp Super Netball at University of the Sunshine Coast Stadium on Saturday, June 26 at 3pm. Tickets are through premier. sportsubs.com.au/nnl/lightning.

Capping off the weekend of Women’s sport on the Coast, the Australian

“This is an unprecedented culmination of talent coming together…” the trifecta of elite level sporting events in addition to the Women in Sports Summit is a coup for our region and showcases the support that council and TEQ provides to women’s sport on the Sunshine Coast.

“This is an unprecedented culmination of talent coming together in our region at the same time,” Cr O’Pray says.

“We’re fortunate to host such a high level of expertise in our region all on the same weekend and that’s on top of our local legends who are filling the grandstands at local events across the region.”

MOOLOOLABA YACHT CLUB ANNOUNCES 2021 MYC WOMEN’S KEELBOAT REGATTA Entries will open this month for the third Mooloolaba Yacht Club (MYC) Women’s Keelboat Regatta, to be held from July 30 to August 1.

All-women crews from around Australia are invited to participate – but will need to be quick, as the number of entries is limited and the event sold out within hours last year.

Despite a postponement due to COVID-19, the 2020 event attracted teams from as far away as Adelaide and Brisbane, with women ranging in age from 16 to over 60.

For the first time, this year the event will see three days of racing, with at least eight crews competing in a short-course, round-robin tournament.

The racing will be on board the MYC’s myweeklypreview.com.au

The event developed from the MYC’s Women’s Skills Development program, which is designed to provide pathways for women to progress in the traditionally male-dominated sport of sailing.

The program has seen over 100 women sign up for sailing at the club since its inception in 2017.

WOMEN’S SPORT ON SHOW ON THE SUNSHINE COAST

STORM READY FOR EXTENDED SUNSHINE COAST STINT The Storm are preparing for the likelihood they will be locked out of Melbourne until the end of State of Origin in another month’s time.

The NRL premiers headed to the Sunshine Coast for a two-week training camp on May 14, but have been unable to return home due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Victoria.

Their round 13 match against the Gold Coast was switched to the Sunshine Coast Stadium and their round 15 clash on Saturday June 19 with Wests Tigers has also been relocated from AAMI Park to their Sunshine Coast base.

The Storm remain unbeaten at their home away from home and will look to hold onto their record on Saturday.

after Sunshine Coast Council and the Queensland Government completed a major $489,000 upgrade.

In November last year, the existing turf was pulled up at the Ballinger Road, Buderim clubhouse to make way for the installation of state-of-the-art synthetic turf.

Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson says projects like this allow our rising stars to access the very best of facilities.

“It’s great to see a place where our up and coming hockey players and elite athletes can play on top quality fields,” Mayor Jamieson says.

Former Sunshine Coast Hockey Association president Scott Brennan championed the upgrades during his term as president and says he’s excited that local players would have the opportunity to play on the same surface being used at the upcoming Tokyo Olympic Games.

“What a great way to commence our 2021 season with a state-of-the-art turf and brand new underlay to play on,” says Mr Brennan.

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

Well, hello my fine friends of the ocean.

I just returned from a road trip down south. First late afternoon surf resulted in small waves, an amazing sunset and a whale 50 metres from the break, followed by a hot prawn curry around the fireplace with wine and good friends. Could it get any better? Yep, it did! New swell with offshore winds all day. This time of year is simply amazing, so make sure you take advantage for the benefit of your soul and sanity.

FISHING REPORT

with Steve Dingle

The weather has been better over the last week, with good reports of fish being taken on all the inner reefs like Murphies and Sunshine. Snapper and sweetlip are the main catches. Bream have again been the main catches in all our rivers, with a few nice trevally and the jew in the Mooloolah River.

The beaches have been a little more productive this week, with some nice tarwhine along the Kawana stretch along with some good-sized dart. Tailor still a little quiet, but the odd one here and there have been caught. The dams are usually quiet this time of year, but if the effort is put in, there have been some nice fish caught at Summerset using jig style lures work in the deeper water to schooling fish.
