From the editor If there is one positive to come from the global pandemic, it is the heightened awareness around mental health and the need for more support services.

Mental health has been high on the agenda – both politically and at a community level – for the past 18 months.

The stigma associated with this health crisis has significantly reduced, with people of all ages and backgrounds now talking more openly about this difficult subject.

And, it’s about time. One in five Australians aged over 16 are affected by mental health issues. The statistics speak for themselves.

The Caloundra Chamber of Commerce has brought the issue into the spotlight this month by highlighting the growing needs of business owners through the pandemic.

In total, 120 business owners/operators

in the sub-regional areas of Caloundra and Kawana took part in a survey conducted by the chamber in partnership with the University of Sunshine Coast School of Business and Creative Industries. While there were some positives among the difficulties, the survey revealed that one in three participants often feel down, depressed or hopeless.

The chamber should be applauded for this initiative and for bringing awareness to the stress and challenges facing business owners.

They will now work alongside the Thompson Institute to deliver much-needed support.

You can find out more in our feature story, which is on page 10.

And, as author John Green so eloquently said, always remember, “There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t”.

AGENDA

Coast jab hub falls short The Sunshine Coast is urged to lift its game as community vaccination hub falls short of jab target.

WORDS: Peter Hall Sunshine Coast News, with AAP.

A

large community vaccination hub that health authorities reopened in a bid to double the region’s ailing jab rate has fallen short of expectations in its first weekend.

The Sunshine Coast is among the areas lagging behind the rest of the state and nation, which is pushing for a minimum 80 per cent vaccination rate so it can reopen borders, hopefully by Christmas.

A target of 2000 vaccinations a day was set for the facility at Caloundra Indoor Stadium, which resumed operations on Friday.

It was popular in June, when it saw 14,000 doses administered.

However, attendance this time around has been significantly short of the latest goal, with 3754 people turning out over the past three days.

This included 985 on Friday and 1338 on Saturday, with Sunday seeing some improvement, attracting 1431.

Authorities are hoping it will gather momentum and urged those who have not yet been vaccinated to attend.

It will remain open 9am to 5pm seven days a week for two months and will only deliver Pfizer, which is now available to anyone over the age of 12.

Some attendees said that they had put off having their shots, but now realised it “had to be done”.

“I want to travel, so there’s no choice really,” a young surfer said.

“You are going to need your COVID vaccination ‘passport’.”

“This hub is great. It’s super organised and I was surprised how easy it all was,” another local getting their first shot said.

Queensland has among the lowest vaccination rates in Australia and the Premier has raised concerns about slower uptake in some regions, including the Sunshine Coast.

While the Sunshine State has almost reached 52 per cent, New South Wales has 75 per cent of its population protected,

the ACT is at 73 per cent vaccination and Victoria is closing in on 60 per cent.

Federal government statistics current to October 4, show 52 per cent of people in the Sunshine Coast Local Government

“This hub is great. It’s super organised and I was surprised how easy it all was” Association area and 54.2 per cent in Noosa Shire had received their second dose. This will improve in coming weeks as 70.4 per cent of people in the Coast LGA and 73.1 per cent in Noosa had

received their first dose.

Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service (SCHHS) CEO, Dr Peter Gillies, said it would be ideal to reach up to 90 per cent coverage on the Coast and he encouraged people not to delay.

“This is the way we get out of this pandemic and get back to life as normal.

These vaccines are really good, really safe and we really encourage you to all turn up,” Dr Gillies said.

“You can either do that by booking an appointment, which would be preferred, or we are going to allow walk-ins as well.”

State-run vaccination hubs delivered 20,811 doses on Friday and 25,507 on Saturday.

“That means, Queensland, that we’re almost at 70 per cent vaccination,” Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said Sunday as the state held another Super Pfizer Weekend allowing walk-ups.

“We’re at 69.71 per cent at least one dose and 51.75 per cent that are fully vaccinated,” she said.

There are 34 active cases across the state, with more than 2000 patients having made a recovery from infection.

While Queensland has not set a date, or vaccination target, for state borders to reopen, Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said more people were getting the jab and “as we talk about Christmas, we talk about borders opening”.

“Those people who have been sitting back and going, ‘We don’t have an outbreak here, I can afford to wait’, time is up,” she said.

You can book vaccinations online now via health.qld.gov.au/vaccinebookings.

World’s most popular book

With more than 200 million copies in circulation every year, the IKEA catalogue surpasses the Bible, the Quran, and the Harry Potter series to earn the title of the world’s most-printed book. The annual catalogue is usually around 350 pages and varies in each of the 72 regions in which it’s distributed.

For example, catalogues in Saudi Arabia feature only men in their photos.

Someone tried to sell New Zealand on eBay. There’s an ongoing rivalry between Australia and New Zealand, but in 2006, one Australian man came very close to winning. In May 2006, he opened a bid on the e-commerce platform starting at one cent. Bidding prices climbed all the way to $3000 before eBay officials shut it down, stating “clearly New Zealand is not for sale”.

Quote of the week.

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

– Maya Angelou

There was a fifth Beatle named Stuart Sutcliffe. The Scottish painter and bassist was an original member of the band when they were just a club act performing in Hamburg, Germany. There, he met his fiancée, Astrid Kirchherr, and decided to stay behind to be with her. Only a year later, he suffered a brain hemorrhage and died at the age of 21. His former bandmates would, of course, go on to become the most popular musicians in history.

Today in history – October 14 1926 – Winnie-the-Pooh makes his literary debut. The popular children’s book character was created by British author AA Milne and first appeared in a collection of short stories called Winnie-the-Pooh.

1947 – The first man flies faster than the speed of sound. American Air Force test pilot Chuck Yeager flew the Bell X-1, an experimental aircraft at Mach 1.07 at an altitude of 45,000 feet.

1984 – Joseph Kittinger starts on his solo gas balloon flight across the Atlantic. He became the first person to traverse the Atlantic in a balloon called the Balloon of Peace.

FEATURE STORY

Business in COVID crisis The effects of COVID-19, especially on the business community, have not been equal. A new survey identifies which sectors have been doing it tough and highlights the toll the pandemic has taken on the health and wellbeing of Sunshine Coast business owners. WORDS: Gail Forrer.

P

rominent Sunshine Coast businesswoman Michelle Christoe pulls no punches when describing the impacts of COVID: “Business owners have been in ‘crisis mode’ for two years, which causes huge mental, physical and emotional pressure,” she says.

The owner of Sunshine Coast entertainment venue NightQuarter should know – since opening late last year NightQuarter has experienced $3 million worth of events rescheduled or cancelled from its 2021 calendar resulting in refunds, thousands of consumer queries and considerable administration.

Ms Christoe is one of around 120 business owners/operators in the sub-regional areas of Caloundra and Kawana to take part in a survey conducted by Caloundra Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the University of Sunshine Coast School of Business and Creative Industries into the growing needs of business owners throughout the pandemic.

It is not surprising to learn the survey identified a two-speed economy with some enterprises thriving and others struggling. Many of those in the latter category spoke of feeling a sense of vulnerability.

Caloundra Chamber of Commerce CEO Brady Sullivan says, “While it is true

10 My Weekly Preview | October 14, 2021

10.indd 1

that many sectors have largely gone unscathed and others have even enjoyed great growth opportunities, there is reason to be concerned for many business owners.

“At the best of times business owners face challenges and stressful situations and we are far from the best of times.”

However, Mr Sullivan says overall, business owners are characteristically innovative and 68 per cent of the respondents expressed satisfaction with their jobs and work-life balance.

“Local business owners scored incredibly high levels of job satisfaction,” he says.

“However, the financial vulnerability and stress caused by COVID-19 is clearly, and increasingly, taking a toll on their mental wellbeing.”

One in three survey participants responded that they often feel down, depressed or hopeless.

COVID demand for extra planning, training and staff protection – besides the everyday challenge of living through an ever-changing environment requiring immediate responses – has resulted in profound repercussions in all industries, including those industries that have continued to do well.

For instance, director of Home Care Assistance Sunshine Coast Kendall Morton is running a flourishing business and points to the creation of NDIS,

federal government funding and increased societal expectation as underpinning the growth of her business, which provides home care to seniors.

While Ms Morton is delighted with her business expansion, at the same time

“Business owners have been on the frontline during the pandemic” Michelle Christoe, NightQuarter

she says COVID has added another complex dimension of care, which is unique to her business.

“It’s one thing to take precautions

in controlled environments such as hospitals, but it is especially difficult to implement precautions in uncontrolled environments such as home visits.”

Even with the low COVID rates in Queensland, Ms Morton’s workload has increased with staff training, infection control and provision of PPE along with programs of continuing cycles of client care.

In these difficult circumstances she also highlights and praises the work of support carers and their professionalism as frontline workers.

Nevertheless, to keep her business not only running but running smoothly, she admits to a non-stop workload since the virus began inclusive of providing proper staff support. “I have had no time off since COVID,” she says.

“It’s a huge responsibility to keep everyone safe and it takes its toll to ensure all employees are kept mentally and physically safe.”

As Ms Christoe reflects on similar business concerns she says she realises how fortunate she is to be in Queensland, nevertheless staff have needed to take stress leave and as a result, at times, have taken up to a week to recover.

“Business owners have been on the frontline during the pandemic yet there has not been enough focus on the mental toll that it has taken.

COVID rocks confidence of business owners REPORT SUMMARY: The Business Health Check Survey explored three major areas of business conditions including business confidence, business operations and the mental and physical wellbeing of business owners.

Thompson Institute director Jim Lagopoulos and Caloundra Chamber of Commerce CEO Brady Sullivan businesses and seeing them closed, the loss of income, the flow-on effects to every facet of our lives – it has a longlasting psychological impact.”

The survey’s chief investigator, University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) senior lecturer in marketing Dr Rory Mulcahy, says analysis shows that financial risk and other negative implications of COVID are eroding the confidence and wellbeing of a significant number of business owners and operators.

“Almost 30 per cent indicated that for several days a week they have little interest or pleasure in doing things.

“In another finding, 44 per cent felt their business was financially vulnerable as a result of the pandemic.”

Mr Sullivan says the survey’s report has provided quantified data that mental wellbeing issues exist in the business community, and this backs up his advocacy for business support – much of which will come from the chamber’s partnership with the Thompson Institute.

The institute is a world-class hub for mental health and neuroscience research addressing Australia’s most pressing mental health issues, which also offers a suite of mental health training for businesses and individuals.

Mr Sullivan says through this channel, a series of programs will be

delivered to members. These include upcoming access to the safeTALK program, which teaches skills in suicide alertness, and ASIST, which teaches participants to also apply a suicide intervention model.

Director of the Thompson Institute, Professor Jim Lagopoulos says the partnership is a big step towards strengthening mental health networks in the community, noting that community demand for the institute’s three programs has increased during COVID-19 and the rise in figures is likely to continue.

“Participants in our mental health coaching EMERALD program have reported increasing their wellbeing by up to 54 per cent, by completing an eight-week online program tailored to their needs, so we know it is effective, and it is likely demand will increase.”

More than 2000 people have already completed community training programs offered by the Thompson Institute with an estimated $4.7 million value to the economy.

MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING Alarmingly, one of the key findings from the research was that there are unusually high levels of stress and vulnerability in the business community. This is causing significant mental health challenges. This research provides much-needed insight into the mental health and wellbeing of business owners. More than one in three business owners responded that they often feel down, depressed or hopeless. This is despite the fact that overwhelmingly Caloundra business owners are innovative and are not only satisfied with their jobs but also with their work-life balance.

OPERATIONS The research has supported anecdotal evidence that COVID- 19 has significantly affected staffing conditions for business.

One-fifth of businesses who responded have suggested they have been forced to lay off employees due to COVID. However,

By the numbers According to the Caloundra Chamber of Commerce and USC survey, the retail, tourism and hospitality sectors were hardest hit, with twice as many respondents reporting they had experienced greater financial difficulties since the pandemic began compared with other businesses. Just over 30 per cent of retail, tourism and hospitality businesses said they had laid off staff in the past 12 months, compared with 17 per cent of other businesses.

while more than half have flagged they are looking to grow, only half of these businesses have been successful in securing a candidate. While two-thirds agree their business is performing well financially, a segment of the business community either lack a meaningful financial buffer or have had their buffers destroyed by the pandemic. Despite the initial respite of JobKeeper, continued lockdowns and uncertainty have caused over half of respondents to believe they will lose income due to the pandemic. The results suggest uncertainty surrounding future lockdowns is adding to pressure. * This project was made possible through partnerships and support by the Queensland Mental Health Commission, Sunshine Coast Council, DESBT and the University of the Sunshine Coast.

DID YOU KNOW? Each year, 897,000 people are affected by mental health issues in Australia (that’s one in five people over the age of 16), and it comes at an economic cost of $70 billion.

EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT NEW WATER PARK

STATEWIDE POLICE SURVEY

An exclusive look inside Australia-first surf pool that will complete a long-awaited $130-million tourist attraction at Glenview has been revealed. Endless Surf is the final, adrenalin-charged element of what will be the region’s first new major theme park in more than three decades. The thrilling project, approved by Sunshine Coast Council earlier this month, will rival the Gold Coast’s famed drawcards, create hundreds of jobs and inject millions of dollars into the local economy. Developer Sanad Capital says operational works are set to commence on the mega water park and resort and it is also ready to transform an adjoining parcel into a state-of-the-art surf pool after being issued a development permit. “After five years of hard work, we now have all the elements ready to go,” he says. “This is going to be massive for the region.” Mr Sutherland says work is likely to begin in November with the entire attraction ready for a grand opening at Christmas, 2023.

The Queensland Police Service (QPS) has launched a state-wide survey to gather feedback from residents to help inform future enhancements to policing services. The Community Experience Survey will seek the views and experiences of individuals or businesses who have contacted the QPS through Policelink, phoned triple zero (000) or have attended a police station in person. Individuals or businesses may receive an email or SMS invitation to complete the anonymous survey online. “By conducting this survey, we are able to gain a snapshot of how our services are being received by those who matter most, members of the Queensland community,” acting superintendent Rebecca Martin says. Legitimate survey invitations will come from independent research partner, Enhance Research. For more visit police.qld.gov.au.

Community organisations across the Sunshine Coast will share in more than $635,000 from the latest round of grants from the Gambling Community Benefit Fund. Member for Caloundra Jason Hunt is congratulating the 26 recipients. “This valuable funding will be used for projects such as upgraded facilities at the Caloundra Cricket Club and a new motor vehicle for the Sunshine Coast First Aid Volunteers Inc,” he says. Member for Nicklin Rob Skelton says across Queensland almost $11 million is going to 448 not-for-profit community groups in the latest round. “It’s great to see the Nambour State College will undergo upgrades to their tuckshop, PTSD Dogs Australia will be able to purchase a motor vehicle.”

IS YOUR POOL SAFE? With the weather warming up, Sunshine Coast Council is reminding homeowners to ensure their swimming pools are compliant. Pools, including spas and some portable pools, need to comply with Queensland pool safety standards, which regulate the height and strength of barriers, non-climbable zones, gate latching requirements and preventing direct access from a building into a pool area. Pools capable of holding more than 300-millimetres in depth, must comply. Pools need to be registered with the Queensland Building and Construction Commission.

IDENTICAL TWINS GRADUATE TOGETHER Dress colour was the only thing separating identical Nambour twins Jessica and Caitlan Gibbs as they crossed the stage to receive the same university degree. The 21-year-old sisters were excited to officially graduate together after completing a Bachelor of Biomedical Science at the University of the Sunshine Coast. “Studying alongside Jess has been both helpful and fun; we studied together for exams and worked on assignments together easily,” Caitlan says. “Having my twin alongside me throughout the three years has been an enjoyable and unforgettable experience.”

Jess, who is keen to do research in medical microbiology and intends to study honours next year, also loved the close support. “While navigating university life, I wasn’t alone,” Jess says. “I had my best friend by my side through it all.”

The Burnside State High School graduates say study highlights included work placements with Queensland Health in cardiac science.

Diamond paid forward A diamond worth $17,500 has been donated to raise money for local child abuse charity, No More Fake Smiles WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

Vanessa Nook of Uniqueness Designer Jeweller

I

t is said diamonds are forever and this special diamond has the chance to forever change the lives of victims of child abuse.

It is a case of passing on the kindness for Karen Lazare, who is donating a 1.21 carat diamond to be raffled off, in collaboration with My Weekly Preview, to support local charity No More Fake Smiles.

Ms Lazare tells My Weekly Preview she purchased a single raffle ticket for a fundraising event in Noosa in July and when she won the diamond she knew she wanted to pay it forward.

“I just bought the one ticket and I won. “[The diamond is] beautiful but I didn’t

need it and I thought it could be used better than sitting in my drawer for the next 30 years and then passing it onto my kids.”

Ms Lazare believes the work of No More Fake Smiles is important to “break the cycle” for the many people facing hardships.

“I think it’s really important to pay things forward, especially in these uncertain times to people less fortunate than ourselves.”

The raffle will coincide with No More Fake Smiles’ second anniversary and as part of the prize, Vanessa Nook from Uniqueness Designer Jeweller is donating $5000 for the winner to have the diamond

made into a piece of jewellery.

Ms Nook specialises in custom design jewellery and has been in the industry for more than 25 years. She says she is excited to be part of this fundraiser to “gift the journey of creation”.

“I really wanted to give back to the community on the Sunshine Coast and this is something a bit different,” Ms Nook says.

“I wanted to gift the journey of creation so the winner can create something special that means something to them.”

The winner will have the chance to work with Ms Nook to develop a jewellery piece of their choice.

Ms Nook says she loves the process of

working with a client to create a piece with meaning that creates an “energy” when worn and leaves a legacy to be passed down to family.

“I feel my purpose is to create significant symbols in people’s lives. It’s my absolute passion.

“I create pieces or sculptures that create energy when you wear them. Each piece has a special meaning and I love helping people find that.”

The raffle will launch at the My Weekly Preview My Style fashion parade and charity luncheon on October 15 and will be drawn at a No More Fake Smiles fundraising event on October 30 at Green Zebra Restaurant on Kawana Island.

The October 30 event will include the major diamond raffle as well as other raffles and auctions, all to raise funds for child victims of sexual abuse. For tickets to the event visit nomorefakesmiles.com. au/events.

The diamond has been valued at $17,500, with the total prize package worth $23,000.

Surfer’s colourful coast life Moffat Beach champion longboarder Kathryn Hughes has become known for her colourful board designs.

WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

S

unshine Coast longborder Kathryn Hughes lives her life in full colour. Her creative senses – both in and out of the water – drive her success, this in spite of living with a hearing impairment.

Australia’s current number two longboarder, known for her signature “drop knee” move and colourful handpainted surfboards, is creating waves on land with her artistically designed surfboards.

“I was always creative when I was a very little girl. Apparently, I would draw in my mum’s books and draw on the walls and I think I realised that I wanted to do art on surfboards at around age of 10,” the Moffat Beach local says.

IMAGE: ANDREW CARRUTHERS, @ANDREWCARRUTHERSPHOTOGRAPHY

Using markers known as Posca pens, Ms Hughes prepares the board, draws her designs and seals the finished product – inspired entirely by the environment.

“It’s inspired by the environment. If I go out to Moffats, I’ll look back and I’ll look at the trees and all of a sudden I’ll just get this idea in my head.

“I don’t know, it just comes to me and I guess that’s really special.”

Ms Hughes was introduced to surfing at the age of seven when she would watch her father Mark take on the waves.

“I started to say, ‘hey dad I want to have a go’,” she recalls.

Like a duck to water, Ms Hughes found her feet and remembered back when she would skip out on school just to catch a few

waves. “I remember, I was like 16 [and] surfing every day, skipping school. My dad would just come to school and get me out of school and take me surfing.”

Ms Hughes first joined the World Surfing League World Longboard Tour in 2015 and finished second in the competition in 2016 and 2017.

She is also known for mastering the typically difficult drop knee manoeuvre, where the back knee is bent inward and lowered throughout a cutback turn, with the kneecap sometimes dropping all the way to the deck of the board, just behind the front foot.

“It’s quite a hard manoeuvre to do but somehow I just click in with it.

“I also do the reverse cutback as well –

with the left leg over the back of your right foot and then switching back into normal regular foot stand.”

It hasn’t always been an easy ride for the young surfer who grew up learning to navigate the world with very limited hearing. Ms Hughes is completely deaf in her left ear and only has 60 per cent hearing in her right ear, believed to be cause by meningitis, which she contracted at just nine days old.

Today, Ms Hughes uses an inner ear hearing aid that gives her 80 per cent hearing in her right ear. Regardless of her adversity, Ms Hughes says she had never let her hearing interfere with her surfing.

Having won back-to-back Queensland titles and the recent Winter Classic at Alexandra Headland, Ms Hughes is yet to decide her future plans with international competitions still on hold.

“At the moment I’m just cruising and surfing every day. I’m currently deciding whether to go back to competition next year or not.”

In the meantime, Ms Hughes is doing gardening work and sells her boards on Facebook Marketplace, by word of mouth and through her sponsor, Classic Malibu.

PROFILE Sculpture on the Edge is an outdoor sculpture exhibition organised by Arts Connect and held annually at Spicers Tamarind Retreat in Maleny.

It attracts renowned artists from around Australia.

Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the picturesque 18-acre property, which provides a unique setting for site-specific works and installations. The exhibition is free and is open to the public from October 22 to November 7.

Bringing art to the people Shiloh Perry used her lockdown time creatively, by folding more than 1000 origami cranes. Now Sunshine Coast art lovers can see her work at Sculpture on the Edge. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

T

he crane is a mystical symbol of good fortune and longevity in Japan, with a rumoured life span of 1000 years. Due to its sacred status, it is often the subject of haiku poetry and origami, the Japanese art of paper folding.

When COVID hit and she couldn’t see family back home in Western Australia, plus her business in events management was put on sudden pause, Gold Coast artist Shiloh Perry decided to sit down and fold 1000 cranes. It was something she’d always wanted to do.

Shiloh Perry (inset) and her art piece (main) called Sway “Ever since I was a young child, I was always obsessed with origami,” she says.

“When COVID hit, I was struggling mentally, I couldn’t get back to WA to be part of things happening over there, and folding the cranes became a bit of therapy for me.

“There was one week where I pretty much spent the whole week folding

birds. A record was folding 300 birds in one week. I’d sit for four or five hours, have something to eat, sit down again.

“I went through a lot of thought processes; it was really meditative. It was like when your nanna can knit without watching her knitting. I could sit there and fold the birds without watching.”

Ms Perry studied Fine Arts at the

Claremont School of Art in Perth, before moving into architecture.

Working part time in events, she was offered a full-time role and realised at that point she didn’t want to become an architect.

“I was happy to move into events but I still kept up with my art practice,” she says. “There was a point where I became heavily involved in events and unfortunately my art practice suffered.

“COVID has been really good for me to get that balance back in. A part of me has been awakened by COVID.” Ms Perry moved to the Gold Coast four years ago, where she lives with

PROFILE her partner and his two children.

Before COVID hit, she worked on numerous events, including Wildlands, Good Things Festival, Festival X, FOMO Festival, One Love Festival on the Gold Coast and the Gold Coast Festival.

Working in logistics and operations, she deals with councils, police and local stakeholders, ensuring the event goes ahead smoothly. It’s a mentally challenging role and she turns to her art to provide balance.

“There are a lot of balls in the air when you’re planning events and a lot of managing of relationships and expectations. There are always weather concerns, or some issue you have to resolve,” Ms Perry says.

“My art practice allows me to be creative. I’ve always kept visual diaries, where I jot down small ideas. Now I make time in my week to be creative and work on 2D pieces as well as 3D pieces, just to keep the creativity going.

“I make sure I keep it in my schedule so I don’t forget about it. It’s a good escape to sit at my art desk.”

Ms Perry says she loves origami because it’s accessible, and her 1000 cranes became 1500 cranes, which she glued to pieces of dowel and created a stunning installation called Swell for the Gold Coast Outdoor Show.

She will bring the same piece to this year’s Sculpture on the Edge festival, held at Spicers Tamarind Retreat in Maleny.

“One of the things I really like about the Sway piece is that it’s quite relatable to both young and old people,” she says.

“There’s always a time in our lives, even in school, where we’re told how to

fold origami. I used to make pieces of origami furniture for my dolls.

“Sway is a heavily involved piece.

Once I started folding the cranes, I couldn’t stop. I just wanted to keep growing and making them bigger and bigger. The birds are made out of synthetic paper. It makes it harder to fold them, but it means they will last for

a really long time and they’ll probably outlive the dowel they sit on, even though it’s been varnished.

“Once it’s installed, I really like to have the public experience it themselves, without too much input from me.

“It comes to life. It sways and moves in the wind, people can walk through it – I try and leave a part open so people can walk into it and be completely surrounded by birds.

“People relate to it as a sign of peace or hope. Birds are such a hopeful thing; there’s a sense of freedom there.

“It’s quite calming. If there’s a breeze, they all move together, like murmuration when starlings all come together and then fly apart.”

Ms Perry says it will take her about two days to install her piece at Sculpture on the Edge and she hopes it will be as popular with art lovers on the Sunshine Coast as it was on the Gold Coast.

“One lady came down to see the birds every day,” she says. “She had recently lost her father. There was a history with her father and her doing origami together. It gave her a real sense of calm. Young children really loved it too. Some of them had just done some origami in school and to see a mass of origami birds, they related to it in their own special little way.”

FROM THE MAYOR Queensland Health has established a mass vaccination clinic at Council’s Caloundra Indoor Stadium.

This provides an additional option to receive a COVID-19 vaccination, which is an important step for the whole community, especially our most vulnerable.

I encourage anyone who is not already fully vaccinated to make the most of this opportunity and arrange to get vaccinated at this centre.

The sooner our community is vaccinated, the greater the likelihood we can start to move on from the impacts of this pandemic on our jobs, our families and many of the things we enjoy.

Once our community is vaccinated, our region is less likely to be exposed to the risk of lockdowns, and friends and relatives are more likely to be able to visit. We should all be aiming for achieving this milestone.

So come on Sunshine Coast, let’s get the jab done!

Visit Queensland Health’s website for all the information you’ll need to get your COVID-19 vaccination.

LOCAL SALON IS A CUT ABOVE A Sippy Downs business is in the running for prestigious national hairdressing awards. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

A

former dancer who fell into the hairdressing industry almost by accident is celebrating the success of her Sunshine Coast salon after nearly walking away from her career three years ago.

Samantha Jones opened Ms Monaco Hair Society at Sippy Downs in 2018, and the salon is now a finalist for the Australian Hair Industry Awards (AHIA).

With a colourful career history, a love of customer service led Ms Jones into the hair industry a decade ago.

“I actually started out as a professional dancer,” she says. “I trained in London and I used to work on cruise ships. Then

when I came home from a contract one year, I didn’t have anywhere to live or the money to get back into auditions.

“I saw a job advertised for flight attendants and applied for that and worked out of Heathrow for 10 years.”

During her time as a flight attendant, which required her to look presentable and tidy, to complement her job Ms Jones began training in the beauty industry, specialising in nails and beauty.

“Eventually I opened my own hair, beauty and nails salon in the UK and hired a hairdresser to do the hair side of it.

“That ended up going really well and was how I fell into my apprenticeship.”

Once she achieved her hair qualification, Ms Jones made the move to Australia shortly before opening a salon at Strathpine in Brisbane in 2011.

By 2014, her salon had outgrown its space and she moved it to North Lakes before career fatigue set in.

“I was burnt out and didn’t know how to manage quality of life and business. I decided to sell that in 2018. I then realised I missed it and six months later opened the salon in Sippy Downs.

“My main focus now is work-life balance for myself and for my team and with that in mind I’ve been able to manage growing the business quite fast.”

With a team behind her who cover roles including team educators and floor and front-of-house managers, Ms Jones has been able to create a balanced environment for her staff.

“My team work really hard for me, but in return I like to think I look after them,” she says.

“All our senior team work full-time but they work four-day weeks so they have that work-life balance.

“Our industry does involve evening or weekend [work] so it’s really nice to give them a day off during the week.”

As well as focusing on customer care, Ms Jones is passionate about educating and training young apprentices to become qualified stylists and she currently has four young Sunshine Coast women training at the salon.

Ms Monaco Hair Society is also known for being a blonde specialist.

“We are really focused on high-quality service. No one’s a number here; everyone feels valued and special. We are blonde specialists and we do training regularly in blonde services.

“We were also all recently qualified as balayage masters. That helps us with

heaps of different techniques so that [anyone who] sits in our chair we can work with.”

Ms Jones says she is thrilled Ms Monaco has been announced as a finalist in the AHIA categories of State Salon of the Year Queensland and Best Customer Care.

The awards, which began in 2014, are judged by 40 international experts and provide a benchmark of excellence across specialist, group and individual categories.

“I was over the moon when I found out, not just the one category but the two,” she says. “This year [AHIA] had more entries than they ever had, and I just didn’t think we’d stand a chance.

“We’re up against some really wellestablished salons that have been going for many years.

“I really want to get Ms Monaco up there so people look up to us as one of the ‘big boys’, and for the team to see they are working in a recognised salon as well.”

The award winners will be announced on the Gold Coast on November 28.

Due to continued growth, Ms Jones says plans are in place to move Ms Monaco to a larger Sippy Downs premises in September 2022.

Ms Monaco Hair Society is located at 4/8 Fairfax Street, Sippy Downs.

“Every dollar raised comes back to our local club to keep Kings Beach safe,” Ms Hiley says.

Lifesavers, nippers and club members will be around Caloundra with donation tins on October 16 and 17, and Ms Hiley says support from local businesses is also greatly appreciated.

She says in 2020, the team from Gelato Rumba donated $1 from every ice-cream sold across the weekend to the club’s appeal.

“The funds raised by Gelato Rumba in 2020 made the purchase of a new rescue board possible. The staff were pretty proud of their effort, as they should be.

“We would like to shout our appreciation for Gelato Rumba’s amazing support from the rooftops and to inspire other local businesses to do the same. With the backing of more local businesses, we could crack our record again.”

Donations can be made across the weekend or online by going to qldlifesaversappeal.raisely.com and searching for your local surf club.

The work will tie in with other upgrades finished in June this year and Division 10 councillor David Law (pictured) says the refurbishment provides modern facilities for the community.

“The revitalised libraries will better capture and celebrate Nambour’s local landscape through an updated colour palette and local imagery,” he says.

“The area’s history will also be honoured through captivating historical images from the Heritage Library’s Picture Sunshine Coast catalogue.”

He says during the closure, customers will be able to access newspapers or collect books from the red phone box in the Nambour Forecourt, outside the library entrance, or access services at nearby branches or via the eLibrary at library.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au. The library will reopen on October 25.

Slam dunk for Mooloolah Valley I am pleased to advise that preparation of a site for a basketball court at Mooloolah Valley Sports Ground has been completed. The works included the removal of the half-court basketball area, which was replaced with new turf. On the full court, the western-most footing, post, backboard and ring combo were replaced. I hope the works will get plenty of use over the summer months.

Important road upgrades

Palmwoods’ $1.46 million clubhouse

Over the next five months you’ll see extensive reseal and refurbishment works for 37 separate roads and streets across the division five area, including Conondale and Cambroon. These works are a major injection into the community totalling an approximate expenditure of $3.3 million to maintain our bitumen road networks and keep them in good working condition. Councils that fail to carry out this type of work can see roads fall into disrepair.

Council will be notifying residents prior to work starting, but you can expect the works to be undertaken in the warmer months, allowing for the bitumen to adhere better.

Hinterland sporting fans are cheering at the completion of the $1.46 million clubhouse for cricket and AFL at Palmwoods. The Jubilee Drive facility, affectionately known as ‘The Woods’, has been completed in time for the 2021-2022 cricket season, which starts in October. The works are inclusive for both sports and I would like to thank the Hinterland Blues AFL and Hinterland Hawks cricket club for their patience and co-operation while we delivered this much-needed facility.

PHIL EMMANUEL HONOURED He was the late, great muso who not only played the guitar but also made it sing with his off-the-charts strumming. Now former Buderim resident Phil Emmanuel, who sadly passed away in 2018 at the age of 66, has been honoured with the unveiling of the newly named Phil Emmanuel Stage at Buderim Village Park.

Mr Emmanuel’s wife Amanda says she is proud to see the stage dedicated to her late husband. “He was the happiest when he was on stage,” she says. “Phil really was the master of the guitar and tone.

“Not a lot of people knew how dedicated he was. He was a great guitarist, but he also did a lot of one-on-ones and he used to play with the local musicians if they asked him to.

They’re all better musicians because Phil played with them.

“I think this stage naming is really the start of something special for Phil, for his legacy to carry on. We really hope future concerts can be held here with up-and-coming musicians.”

The plaque was officially unveiled on September 28 at an intimate ceremony with Mr Emmanuel’s family and close friends.

Thank you I want to express my appreciation to all the private property owners throughout division five who make a special effort to keep their road verges and pathways maintained and tidy – it makes the place much more attractive and appealing. So, thank you for your efforts.

FASHION FUNDRAISER IS ON

JOIN IN THE BIG BEACH CLEANUP Visionary Ocean Warriors will be joined by other community groups working towards a healthier ocean this weekend for the next Big Beach Cleanup.

The free event at Happy Valley will highlight the issue of marine debris and plastic pollution and give participants a chance to become citizen scientists, learn plastic-free alternatives and take part in free workshops.

All marine debris collected will be documented into the Tangaroa Blue Australian Marine Debris Initiative (AMDI) to create source-reduction plans to address the major causes of local marine pollution.

Visionary Ocean Warriors is a not-for-profit informal group made up of school-aged children, who have been actively engaging the Caloundra community with beach cleans for the past four years.

The group continues to highlight the threat of marine pollution and empowers members of the community to make a difference.

The event runs from 9am to 1pm on October 16 at Clarke Place Park. To register go to eventbrite.com.au and search for ‘The Big Beach Cleanup’.

The fifth annual Fabulous Funky Fashions fundraiser is happening on October 17 to raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation and Katie Rose Cottage Hospice.

Held in line with Pinktober, this year’s fundraiser will be an afternoon tea party at the Buderim Tavern to not only raise funds, but to also showcase fashion from The Katie Rose Cottage Hospice op shops. The event was created by local Sandra de Jersey in memory of her late mother, who was diagnosed with breast cancer on three occasions. Dress code is pink, with fascinators and hats encouraged and BYO favourite cup and saucer. There will be prizes for best dressed.

For tickets visit ticketebo.com.au and search ‘Fabulous Funky Fashions’.

MENTAL HEALTH AWARDS Mountain Creek State School has been announced as a finalist in the 2021 Queensland Mental Health awards. The awards recognise and celebrate individuals, groups and organisations working tirelessly to reduce stigma and support and empower those living with mental illness.

Mountain Creek State School is a finalist in the school’s award for prioritising a planned approach for student and staff mental health and wellbeing. Following a Wheel of Wellbeing (WoW) intensive training workshop, teachers and guidance officers have progressively developed and expanded the WoW messaging and resources through activities, curriculum and classroom teaching practises.

Hosted by Open Minds, the awards have been running since 1996. The winners will be announced during an awards breakfast ceremony on October 15 in Brisbane.

POLICE BAND ENTERTAINS Members from Twin Waters Neighbourhood Watch and Living Choice Retirement Village were invited to enjoy the talented Queensland Police Pipes & Drums band as part of Seniors Month.

“This is one of the best audiences we have performed to,” Sergeant Cameron Foster from Pipes & Drums says. “They were so interactive and appreciative.”

The residents enjoyed singing along and dancing in the kitchen while washing dishes and were treated with an encore performance by the band.

Most of the Neighbourhood Watch and Volunteer in Policing family are seniors who dedicate their valuable time to helping police and the community.

Books can be dropped off at the library on 3 Main Street, Buderim between 9.30am and 2.30pm Monday to Friday, or by arrangement on 5456 1797.

The book sale is the major fundraiser for the Buderim Library and funds raised are used to buy new books.

MANAGING PUMICESTONE PASSAGE A new community group has launched to ensure the proper management of Pumicestone Passage catchment.

Pumicestone Passage Catchment Management Body chair Graeme Smith says its aim is to establish a state government statutory body of locals.

“We are an all-volunteer group of locals who want to see local management of the Pumicestone Passage Catchment area,” Mr Smith says. “We are driven to see local knowledge used to protect the heritage that we will pass on to our children and grandchildren. The entire passage requires an appropriate balance of environmental, recreational, economic and commercial management for the surrounding communities and visitors.”

The catchment covers an area of 785 square kilometres and is home to turtles, dugongs, more than 30 species of birds and nearly 60 rare or threatened species.

Take Action for Pumicestone Passage president Paul Harney supports the concept. “Pumicestone Passage and its catchment continues to be managed by two regional councils, two federal seats, three state seats, 80 pieces of legislation and 40 different policies,” he says.

“A single future management body approach has been proven elsewhere [and is] exactly what is need here.”

Oct 16 PYGMALION PROMISES TO DELIGHT When a story opens on a dark and stormy night, there’s often horror coming. But with George Bernard Shaw’s classic play Pygmalion, the dark and stormy night ushers in the kind of clever linguistic high jinks and top-class commentary that have made it an enduring theatre classic since 1912.

Acclaimed Sunshine Coast actors Rachel Fentiman and Howard Tampling (pictured) play the iconic roles of Eliza Doolittle and Henry Higgins, a linguistics professor who bets he can transform rough Cockney flower girl, Eliza into a well-spoken woman of London high society.

When: Thursday, October 14 to Sunday, October 24.

Where: Noosa Arts Theatre, 163 Weyba Road, Noosaville.

Tickets: From $23 to $32 via noosaartstheatre.org.au/pygmalion.

Phone: 5449 9343.

This fantastic competition and event was created and continues to run through the work of the management team: a group of 16 dedicated high school students and three adult facilitators.

When: Saturday, October 16, short-listed films: 11am to 12.45pm, finalist films: 1.20pm to 5pm.

Where: Majestic Cinemas, Centenary Square, Currie Street, Nambour.

He spent 2021 speaking to people from all walks of life, asking them one simple and direct question: Can you please tell me a love story?

LOOK INSIDE the block The hallway is often a forgotten space in the home. But with a splash of paint, the right artwork and lighting, you can create a beautiful feature for your home. Take inspiration from The Block contestants’ hallway spaces to bring life to your own.

IMAGE: CHANNEL NINE

Ronnie & Georgia Project cost: $37,418 Judge Shaynna Blaze said the hallway created by Block favourites Ronnie and Georgia “just sings”, and she loved the hallway, which doubles as an art gallery. In this space, the contestants chose to use works created by Australian artists Lizzy Stageman and Jai Vasicek. The Sunshine Coast is home to many artists including the renowned

Jandamarra Cadd and Kendall Perkins.

It is also worth taking time to explore local galleries including the Caloundra Regional Art Gallery and Art Nuvo. Open Studios Sunshine Coast is also a great place to start as it highlights local artists.

tip!

While LED downlights are terrific for a hall, consider incorporating feature lighting.

Spotlights are a great choice to shine a light on artwork, otherwise, a signature pendant will create a beautiful focal point. We like the Malo.35 spherical pendant from Andrews Light Up.

If you have a long hallway, runners are a great feature. They soften a space and add the element of texture.

Foyer rugs also look great and can set the tone for your home from the moment guests walk through the door. We like the muted colours and contemporary design of the non-shedding Davos rug from Carpet Call.

Kirsty & Jesse Project cost: $44,428 With a grand Hamptons style, this hallway delivers the wow factor to the entrance of this home.

Contestants Kirsty and Jesse walked away with the win for their hallway, and we can see why. That traditional chandelier is a show-stopper.

PRODUCT ALERT The slim and sleek Ingrid console from Domayne is the perfect feature for your hallway or foyer. The open design and mirror top ensures the piece doesn’t feel blocky, instead giving an airy and spacious feel, which is important for smaller spaces. Domayne is located at the Maroochydore Homemaker Centre.

Everyone wants to come home to a house they love living in.

Maroochydore Homemaker Centre resident interior stylist Maureen Walters helps you create a space that brings you joy every day.

Whether you’d like a new look for one room or your entire home, want to furnish a new home, define your style or get advice on a tricky spot in your home, a Style Session with Maureen will get you well on your way. For more information visit maroochydorehomemaker centre.com.au

hanging up your interior design keeps things fresh. But close your eyes and think about the past few changes you have made. Do you feel like the changes were unique, or were they primarily similar in styling and aesthetic?

While it is excellent to know your preferences, remaining in your comfort zone can also become draining. Looking at the same type of visual will no longer fill you with excitement, and that’s why we recommend you spice it up! An easy idea are floating

shelves, and they become a convenient space for unique items and give the room a refreshed look. Once you get them installed, think about what pieces to place to make them noticeable.

If you don’t have a cat who likes to climb structures, you can place a delicate piece of decor on display. These shelves are also perfect for vases, especially if you have faux flowers to place inside. A very cool idea to liven things up a little is to add a hint of culture. This can be done with exotic rugs,

paintings or traditional lamps. Most have a distinctive style, which is challenging to miss.

Just ensure you pick a piece that suits the rest of the colour scheme and décor, and you’ll succeed in adding a spark to your home.

Spicing it up can feel like a jar bursting with energy, but don’t worry! All our recommendations can be easily implemented. We have prepared a list of all the changes you can make to your interior design and decorations to bring in that extra edge to break pattern and monotony.

With the latest designs in carpet, timber, laminate, luxury vinyl, tiles, rugs, plus window furnishings, we have the perfect decorating solution for every home and lifestyle.

“The 2021 HIA Building Awards will be an opportunity to celebrate design and building excellence over the past 12 months in a period of enormous uncertainty, and at the same time, reflect on the opportunities and challenges that lay ahead in 2021,” Mr Smith says.

“Key trends anticipated from the award-winning homes will be the use of smart and efficient technology throughout the home, as well as designing and creating healthy, comfortable, multifunctional spaces that allow people to work, live and entertain in a more informal manner and maximising the indoor/ outdoor connection.

“Whilst the industry has been impacted by the COVID pandemic, new home approvals and starts have increased significantly due to the federal HomeBuilder grant, record low interest rates and high confidence in the housing market,” he adds.

“Net migration increases driven by the population exodus from Sydney and Melbourne and people making work-life balance decisions are also key drivers of this heightened activity.

“As a result of the unexpected increased demand, there has been supply and demand issues relating to a shortage of labour in some trades and products, placing enormous pressure on construction costs and adding to affordability pressure within the housing sector.”

Mr Smith says the residential construction markets across the Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay regions continue to be a major contributor to the overall Queensland economy. He says members are working tirelessly to ensure strict compliance measures are continued to ensure the safe wellbeing of those involved in the industry as well as its customers.

MEET JUDGE KEN SMITH HIA Sunshine Coast branch manager Tell us about your background/ career.

I am originally a Bendigo boy. The majority of my working life has been focused in senior sales and business development roles around the country for BHP and later BlueScope steel, which supplies steel building products and solutions to the construction industry.

What do you like about the awards?

It is a night of celebration for the building industry and HIA members to recognise building and design excellence, construction innovation and housing technology. It is also a rare chance for peers to catch up (while meeting social distancing requirements) in a year dominated by the shadow of the COVID-19 uncertainty.

What are the benefits of the HIA award for entrants?

The awards provide an opportunity for HIA members to promote their homes

Mosaic Property Group has entered the Apartment Complex Over 4 Storeys category for Avalon in Maroochydore and their business and be acknowledged as an award-winning builder for both design and construction.

Tell me about the quality of builders on the Sunshine Coast. Are they on par with larger cities?

What advice do you give to people thinking about entering the awards in the future?

The Sunshine Coast builders have consistently punched above their weight by winning many state and national awards over a number of years. Last year, a local builder (Quail Constructions) won the Queensland Home of the Year award, and many other local builders also won a number of state awards in other specific categories.

To understand the marketing benefits if successful and to build plans and strategies to capitalise from a social media, advertising and sales pitch perspective for potential new clients.

Obviously not everyone can buy or build an award-winning home. But what can people learn from these homes and apply to their own projects?

To view best practice in design and construction and blend those learnings with their own ideas.

If you were building your dream home, what are the three things you would include or do?

Clearly understand my lifestyle needs, do my research to choose the right builder and ensure that there is a more than adequate wine cellar.

HIA AWARDS What are the benefits of the HIA award for entrants?

MEET JUDGE FRANK BARRETT Bunya Building Services Tell us about your background/career.

I started work on the Pine Rivers council building in Strathpine in March 1973. I enrolled in a building technicians’ course at QUT, then transferred to Ithaca TAFE. I completed the course at the end of 1977.

My first job on the Sunshine Coast was a supervisor for Kawana Estates.

What do you like about the awards?

The awards provide opportunities for builders to show their skills and professionalism in their trade, while trying to achieve the best possible outcome for their clients and their reputation.

What is your favourite part about judging the competition?

Being able to see the excellent work that the trades are capable of. We get to meet tradesmen and women, now builders who have done the building course or have worked for us. As well listening to their enthusiasm describing the how and why of what they have created.

The benefits of the awards to my mind is to have a go and stand out in the crowd. We do know that award-winning builders get an increase in work.

What advice do you give to people thinking about entering the awards in the future?

Do your research and know your limits.

There are several price categories, so there are spaces for all comers. In all categories it is the design, attention to detail and innovation that is the biggest focus. Talk to the builders who have achieved success and ask for some guidance – most are willing to help.

What changes have you noticed over the years regarding entries?

Houses in all categories are getting improved designs. They have different facades and roof shapes, and more and unique materials are available (for example, stonework, powder-coated aluminium, different render profiles and hardwood battens). A cubic look is becoming more common as is a reduction in gables and hips.

As a judge, what are you looking for when considering the difference between and good entry and a winning entry?

The difference to me is always the detail. If

This Bokarina home by SX Constructions is entered in the Custom Built Home $1 million to $2 million category there are two or five houses in one category with excellent design and construction, the finish (for example detail) is the winner.

How is the standard of entries this year?

The standard of the houses and units that we judge are always high. This year is no exception. This year was a test for all construction given labour and material shortages. However, when you see some of the sites and the access they face, their work is remarkable.

Tell me about the quality of builders on the Sunshine Coast.

Are they on par with larger cities?

I am often asked this question. My answer is simply that we have the best builders in Australia because the competition is huge.

If you were building your dream home, what are the three things you would include or do?

Light, height and tight. Light – natural light into as many rooms as possible, with louvre windows for good natural ventilation.

Height – an elevated block is getting harder to find so elevate the house or double storey to maintain a feeling of space. Tight – build the house you need, so not too big.

ENDURING VALUE Delivering exquisitely-designed and superbly-finished properties across South East Queensland.

Our signature, holistic approach to managing every aspect of the development process results in premium addresses that set new benchmarks in residential living.

HIA AWARDS

businesses bring new and innovative ideas into the home environment.

MEET JUDGE ALLEN COX North Coast Joinery

Tell us about your background/career.

I started my apprenticeship in cabinet making at 15 years old. I attained a Trade Course Certificate in cabinetmaking with Honours in March 1977. I started my first business making timber joinery and later cabinetmaking in partnership with two friends six months after becoming a tradesman. In 1987 my wife and I started North Coast Joinery. I have a timber joinery qualification and a certified kitchen designer qualification.

What do you like about the awards?

It is great that HIA encourages and promotes to all its members to have pride in their products and to put these products out to scrutiny by judges, their clients and the general public. To achieve a HIA industry award is a badge of honour.

What is your favourite part about judging the competition?

I enjoy seeing how both old blokes and new building, design and cabinetmaking

What are the benefits of the HIA award for entrants?

For the businesses each year who do receive a top award, this is confirmation they are working at the top of their field.

What changes have you noticed over the years regarding entries?

Every year there are new businesses rising to the top of their game. With design trends changing, environmental considerations, recycling, energy reduction, land space, lifestyle change, family units morphing into a new world, education requirements, workplace/home office developments and changing construction techniques, there is always something new.

As a judge, what are you looking for when considering the difference between and good entry and a winning entry?

All of the homes and products that we see are top notch and I would expect nothing less from HIA members. My particular way of judging is to start with 50 per cent of the marks allocated to the category and add marks for all the pieces that stand out as impressive and excellent quality or subtract marks where something could have been done a little better.

Every year the bar rises a few more

This Mount Coolum home by AM Build is entered in Custom Build Home from $750,001 to $1 million category

notches. Where will it end? Is it because the winning products from the previous years are the benchmark and businesses have to go one better? Is it because there are many businesses who just want to do their absolute best and second best is not an option?

Every year there are new products. Our lifestyles are changing so the expectation of clients change with the times.

Tell me about the quality of builders on the Sunshine Coast. Are they on par with larger cities?

Many of our HIA members who win a Sunshine Coast HIA award go on to win the

Queensland state award and often the HIA federal awards. The Sunshine Coast HIA members punch above our population weight and are always very well represented in the Queensland and Australia awards.

If you were building your dream home, what are the three things you would include or do?

Find a reputable HIA builder who in the past has been willing to put their work to be judged in the HIA awards. Have the house designed to be a home that suits my family, my lifestyle, my income and my future expectations. Get onto the HIA website and look at the homes up for judging.

MY OPINION

WOMEN CAN BE BULLIES

LOST AND FOUND

Jane Stephens says bullying and abusive behaviour isn’t always perpetrated by men – women need to be called out.

Ashley Robinson reflects on a crazy incident with a Sunshine Coast Falcons player who led him on a wild goose chase after losing his phone.

A

buse is abuse and harassment is harassment no matter the gender of the perpetrator. There is a lot being said about bullying, harassment and violence, both emotional and physical, and usually the narrative assigns the villain role to men.

And while the stats show men are more likely to be the perpetrators, the true picture is not singular.

It’s time we talked more openly about women who bully and abuse and included them in discussions about men who do the same.

Recently retired Matildas great Lisa De Vanna, Australia’s second most prolific goal scorer, has claimed she was subjected to sexual harassment, indecent assault, grooming and bullying from senior players throughout her career.

De Vanna told media she had seen cultural problems at all levels during her 20-year career and there was a paucity of consequences and accountability.

She has yet to make a formal complaint, but football authorities have already said they want a full and frank assessment of the state of play in women’s footy.

The problem is international.

Allegations have been made of abusive behaviour in the National Women’s Soccer League in the US. And no one presumes such girl-on-girl bullying is confined to soccer.

De Vanna is right. She wrote on social media: “Women protecting women who abuse women. Players protecting senior players who abuse younger players.

Organisations protecting ‘coaches/players’ who abuse players. Abuse is abuse. Poor behaviour is poor across all boards!”

When it is women delivering the vile behaviour, it is too often talked about in low voices. Traditionally, women are not the baddies and unacceptable, anti-social behaviour is a male trait.

And in civil society it is not said very often, but women know that our biggest critics are often other women.

Women are more likely now than in other generations to berate, belittle and besmirch each other, perhaps emboldened by two generations of being told anything blokes can do, they can do better.

But bold and confident should never be confused with bullish and corrosive. Let’s shine a light on ways to do and be better towards each other, regardless of gender.

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

B

eing involved with the Falcons has had its highs and lows over the last eight seasons, some of it footy, but a lot of it not. It’s been challenging but also rewarding, none more than the people along the way.

I have been rewarded by spending more time with CEO Chris Flannery, who I have known since he was a kid and also some that I haven’t, like Jake Samoa, Tui Kamikamica and Justin Olam. Jacob I am now watching have a family, which is awesome, while the other pair are still forging careers at the Storm. The latter I have seen a bit of since they were relocated to the Coast last year.

Tui has borrowed my car regularly and like Justin, always brings it back clean and full of fuel, but takes every opportunity to hang on to it as long as he can. His last stint was about 10 days and he was scheduled to bring it to my place in the afternoon. I got a call from someone at work who said there was a big man there who wanted to talk to me about my car.

Tui told me his phone was gone behind the back seat of my Hilux and he couldn’t get it out, so he had driven from the

stadium to the club to get my address.

When he arrived, we couldn’t get the seat up as he had jammed the strap that lifts it up when he was looking for his phone. We ended up at Sunshine Toyota and a very kind mechanic just about to knock off helped. After about half an hour, bingo – but no phone.

So he used my phone to search for his and apparently it was at Cotton Tree, so off we went with a very angry Fijian. We got there on dark – no phone. We rang it again and this time someone answered – Jett Kenny, who was at Alex Surf Club.

When I asked Tui why he thought his phone was behind the back seat he said, “My music from my phone was playing all the way from the stadium to Alex but when I stopped I heard a clunk and it stopped.”

It turned out it was on the canopy cover and fell off when he pulled up and one of our members picked it up, thinking it was a training partner’s phone and then produced it after training on the river.

Wow. All he could say was, “We will laugh about this for years and I get to meet Jett Kenny from SAS?” Not sure whether this is high or a low.

MY OPINION

SWOONING FOR KEVIN Sami Muirhead is a Kevin Costner fan from way back and is loving him in a cowboy hat and jeans on the small screen.

S

ome fine wines just get better with age. And by wine, I refer to Kevin Costner. Yes, he is looking as broody, sexy, and relevant as ever thanks to his starring role in the Stan TV western series, Yellowstone.

If you are late to the cowboy party like me, do not worry, but canter on as quick as you can to watch Yellowstone. It is wonderful. It is dark and gritty and makes you want to run away in your RM Williams to Montana to live on a ranch and wear spurs and denim all day long.

It is an epic story – Dynasty in the dirt.

Kevin plays John Dutton, a sixth generation patriarch, running a mammoth ranch and his crazy family members who are all battling demons. The plot revolves around this family drama and the bordering native reservations and national parks.

Anyway, let us just celebrate the hot tall cup of sexy that is Kevin Costner. He is now 66 years old. How did that happen? My favourite Kevin movie will always be The Bodyguard. It is just a feast for the senses, with so much sexual tension between Frank and Rachel. There are so many great moments of lingering eye contact and steamy kisses between them, and do not even get me started on the music front.

Whitney coming off that airplane at the end of the film as she belts out, I will Always Love You brings me to my knees every time.

I still do not understand why she didn’t just put Kevin (Frank) on the payroll and keep him around to make tea and toast every morning. Kevin serving tea in bed is a steamy thought.

Kevin in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

“There are so many great moments of lingering eye contact and steamy kisses…” is also one of my favourite Costner roles.

Tight pants and jumping out of trees makes for good viewing. And what about that power ballad with the iconic lines of, Everything I Do, I Do It For You? Dances with Wolves, The Untouchables, Field of Dreams and Mr Brooks. The list of great Kevin movies is long. I am not going to mention Waterworld, because we all make mistakes. But tough guy John Dutton in Yellowstone in his big country hat and dusty denim is my favourite Kevin ever.

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22) Scorpios have strong likes and dislikes, and you don’t do things by halves … especially when there’s a fiery full moon and the sun moves into your sign! You could find it difficult to let go of a grudge or a grievance. Do your best to relax and bring more balance into your life.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21) You’re full of ideas and you’re keen to proceed with lightning speed. But Monday will be slow, as Mercury prepares to move forwards. You’ll be at your buoyant best on Tuesday and Wednesday when Jupiter and the full moon boost fiery enthusiasm and put some extra wind in your sails.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20) The more you try to micro-manage relationships this week, the more loved ones or colleagues will distance themselves from you. If you are too demanding, then a power struggle is likely. You’re brimming with ideas and are keen to teach others but don’t assume you have all the answers.

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19) The fiery full moon ignites your spontaneous and adventurous side.

But slow down (and calm down) otherwise you’ll put your foot in your mouth and come a cropper!

Try to find more balance in your relationships and more equilibrium within yourself.

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20) With retrograde Mercury, the fiery full moon and powerful Pluto stirring up your money and intimacy zones, you’re primed for a spontaneous spending spree or a relationship glitch. In order to avoid messy (and unnecessary) problems, pause before you spend, and think before you speak.

BUSINESS & FINANCE

Troy Derwin, Ord Minnett Buderim.

REVISITING BANK OF QUEENSLAND It has been some time since we wrote about Bank of Queensland (BOQ), but its appeal is growing and Ord Minnett sees it as worth revisiting for several reasons.

Bank of Queensland is due to report its FY21 result on Wednesday, October 13.

The result will incorporate two months’ contribution from the recently acquired ME Bank, and Ord Minnett expects this acquisition, along with the related cost savings targets and ME Bank’s revenue outlook, to be the main focus of the result.

We forecast a strong underlying result from the heritage Bank of Queensland business, with above-system loan growth over the last six months suggesting upside potential to company guidance

of four per cent revenue growth for fiscal 2021. Should the bank manage to sustain above-system loan growth, we believe our fiscal 2022 and 2023 forecasts could prove conservative.

We do not forecast any funding cost improvements for ME Bank, although this would also provide incremental upside.

Even so, cost savings alone should see Bank of Queensland deliver sectorleading pre-provision profit growth over fiscal 2021–23.

We retain an Accumulate recommendation on Bank of Queensland and have increased our target price to $10.00 from $9.80. Given many readers may be receiving funds from the recently completed Commonwealth Bank share buyback, we believe Bank of Queensland shares are worth considering.

• Ord Minnett estimates: We forecast fiscal 2021 cash net profit of $407 million, with a final dividend of 21 cents per share (cps). This is based on forecast revenue growth of 5.5 per cent and cost growth of 3.8 per cent, ahead of company guidance for three per cent cost growth and four per cent revenue growth. We forecast its net interest margin (NIM), excluding ME Bank, to be flat half-onhalf (HoH), in line with guidance, or down five basis points (bp) HoH on a

headline basis. Australian Prudential Regulation Authority statistics point to 10.4 per cent annual loan growth for Bank of Queensland in the last six months, which is well above system growth.

• Market focus: We expect the market to focus on: 1) any update on the ME Bank acquisition; 2) the pathway to turning around poor ME Bank volume growth; 3) group NIM outlook given the term funding facility drawdown and ongoing mortgage competition; and 4) any guidance on underlying cost growth for FY22.

• Looking forward: We expect sector-

leading profit growth over the next couple of years from Bank of Queensland and steadily rising dividends. We expect that dividends will increase from our 38cps forecast in fiscal 2021 to 47cps in fiscal 2022 and 50cps in fiscal 2023. Given our forecast fiscal 2022 dividend yield of 4.9 per cent (excluding franking credits), and solid upside to our forecast price target of $10, we view Bank of Queensland shares as worthy of consideration.

Inheritances and divorce

Are you export ready?

When a relationship breaks down and parties have assets that need to be divided, it is common for the party who has been the recipient of an inheritance during the relationship to want to quarantine this asset or money because it was gifted to them, so should be retained by them.

Sounds fair?

Not necessarily. A division of property under the Family Law Act considers all assets and liabilities of both parties, whether separately or jointly, which can include inheritances.

If an inheritance is received by a party during a relationship (and sometimes post separation), it will usually be accounted for by factoring the value of that contribution to the asset pool by the beneficiary of that inheritance, increasing the percentage entitlement of that beneficiary party.

However, there are also circumstances where it is appropriate, and may be ordered by the court, to be excluded from the division of property of the parties and retained by the beneficiary party separately from the other property that is to be divided.

The factors that determine which is the most appropriate way to consider an inheritance are varied and require personalised and specialist advice.

Is the export market the right place for your business?

Consider the following: • Domestic market performance (if you are not successful domestically you will not be in an export market).

• International travel experience (you will need to know how to operate internationally, such as simple things like communication and accessing technology).

• Level of process documentation (you need to have all your processes well documented).

• Quality accreditation (do you comply with the relevant international standards?).

• Spare management staff (if your key people are already busy, who is going to do the export tasks?).

• Spare product or service capacity (can you deliver on time, on spec, and at the target price point?).

• Marketing or promotion documentation (do you have all this in place and do you know how to adapt it for your export market?).

• Financial strength (can you fund any delays?).

• Level of passion for export (you need a high level of energy to sustain momentum to get you through all the barriers you may encounter).

The uncertainties of death This is the second in our series of articles on the uncertainties of death.

Another common misconception is that it is not possible in Queensland to have more than one spouse.

You might be surprised to learn, it is possible and more common than you may think.

A person can have, for example, two legal spouses when they are separated (but not divorced) from their first spouse and have formed a defacto relationship with a new partner.

The distribution of a deceased estate becomes immediately more complex and uncertain in these circumstances – especially given the complexities regarding the different definitions of 'spouse' for estate purposes and superannuation purposes.

If you pass away without a valid Will and you have more than one spouse, the Rules of Intestacy contemplate your spouses reaching agreement as to the division of your assets!

In addition, your spouses may be eligible to make a Family Provision Application seeking provision (or further provision) from your estate.

The uncertainties can be eliminated through an effective estate plan.

VITAMINS & SUNSCREEN PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM SKIN CANCER Most of us are aware of the ‘slip, slop, slap, seek, slide’ slogan of the Cancer Council campaign to encourage us to practice sun smart behaviours to reduce the risk of skin cancers.

And it certainly is very valid evidence-backed advice. Yet did you know that there are two specific vitamins that can give you significant protection from getting sun burnt and subsequent skin cancers? Yes, vitamins!

So, firstly let’s talk about niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3.

In 2015, an article in the New England Journal of Medicine reported that a research group in Sydney found that taking niacinamide daily in a dose of 500-1000 milligrams resulted in 13 per cent fewer precancerous sun spots appearing, and a 23 per cent lower risk to develop a non-melanoma (that is, basal cell cancer and squamous cell cancer).

Food sources of niacinamide include salmon, tuna, chicken, turkey, anchovies, and pork. It is also available as an over-the-counter vitamin supplement.

Secondly, let’s discuss retinol and vitamin A. Retinoid compounds, including retinol, retinal, and retinoic acid, are collectively referred to as vitamin A. Some studies from the USA between 2011 and 2019 have confirmed that retinoids, in particular retinol, may lead to at least a 17 per cent lower risk of squamous cell cancer.

Lastly, a quick word about sunscreen.

Not far away, in Nambour, two very powerful studies conducted by cancer epidemiologist Professor Adele Green showed that daily sunscreen could lower the occurrence of squamous cell cancer by 60 per cent, and the risk of melanoma by 50 per cent. Powerful protection indeed. So, slop on that sunscreen, and take your A & B3.

PROPERTY

ANY LULL IN THE MARKET WILL BE BRIEF AS MORE BUYERS SEEK THE ENVIABLE SUNNY COAST LIFESTYLE The value of property on the Coast is accelerating faster than it has in decades – but has it reached its peak? WORDS: Tracey Johnstone.

A

s the weather has warmed up, so too has the residential property market with spring sales strong, while in the background there are questions around if the Coast market has reached its peak.

CoreLogic’s recently released Hedonic Home Value Index report reveals, “although growth conditions remain positive, it is becoming increasingly clear the housing market moved past its peak rate of growth in March when national dwelling values increased by 2.8 per cent”.

On the Coast, market expert analyst Terry Ryder of Hotspotting says there are some indicators that growth in sales activity has tapered off slightly. “It’s an indicator that it may be around the peak but at the same time the level of price growth is still very strong,” Mr Ryder says.

Housing values rose a further 1.5 per cent in September according to CoreLogic.

“The annual growth rate is now tracking at the fastest pace since the year ending June 1989,” the report states.

Mr Ryder believes the residential

market continues to flourish due to the pandemic. Enforced savings, government stimulus measures, the return of expats, the growing exodus for people from the cities to coast and country locations, “they are all a huge part of driving prices up as fast as they are happening at the moment” he says. And it’s not over yet. Mr Ryder believes there is potential for another wave of price growth on the Coast.

“It’s the sort of market that is being massively targeted due to the trend towards affordable lifestyle,” Mr Ryder says. “It’s such a natural beneficiary of that. And it is being underpinned by the infrastructure

A premier waterfront address at the heart of convenience.

spending that has been happening.”

Once the Queensland border reopens to interstate and then international travellers, and further down the line, the holding of the 2032 Olympic Games, the inflow of expats, migrants, tourists, investment dollars, the full utilisation of the Coast’s international airport and more infrastructure spend is all going to have a huge impact on the market.

The dampeners on the Coast market now and into the near future are the cost of construction, shortages in building materials, the lack of available land to build on and available builders.

“The annual growth rate is now tracking at the fastest pace since 1989” Terry Ryder, Hotspotting

But Mr Ryder remains upbeat about the Coast, which he says has moved from holiday destination to a city with a strong economy and growth opportunities.

“The property market is going to continue to be strong well into the future,” he adds.

AUCTION OUTCOMES CONTINUE UPWARD TREND Some amazing auction results are a sign for sellers to wait until auction day to get the best price. WORDS: Tracey Johnstone.

hile long distance runners were using Saturday to warm up for Sunday’s marathon, around the Coast buyers were running just as hard chasing top prices in this tight market.

Investors were in the mix of house and apartment buyers along with interstate buyers from Canberra and Sydney bidding against keen Sunshine Coast residents.

New record for Minyama waterfront Saturday’s sale of 20 Kumbada Court has set a new record for Minyama.

The vendor’s agent, Trevor Martin of Waterfront Agents, says, “This truly is a record price for the deep-water canals”.

The main canal waterfront property is an expansive four-bedroom home with a north-east aspect and 41.3 metre frontage.

It is certainly ripe for a major renovation or knockdown by the new owner.

After 53 groups inspected the property, it came down to eight registered bidders.

The bidding opened at $3,500,000 and finally sold under the hammer to a Melbourne buyer for $4,800,000.

Mooloolaba continues to shine “Are you sitting down?” asks Ross

Bidding for the home opened at $550,000 with two active bidders taking the price up to sell under the hammer for $650,000.

The eventual buyer plans to rent out the home to his family.

Opportunities ahead for Sunshine Beach gem While Sunshine Beach may be known for its high prices, Friday’s auction of the three-bedroom house at 34 Elanda Street delivered an affordable gem for the lucky buyer that secured the prime property for $2,515,000.

Seven registered bidders drawn from the Coast, Brisbane and interstate kept Home Sunshine Coast agents Jay Sherwell and Liam Toohey busy as they sought a good buy.

Mr Sherwell described the sale as a “very, very fair result”.

“It’s a renovator’s dream, really a blank canvas or a duplex site or knockdown with good access to the beach and shops.”

Coast family the winners The large home with acreage and multiple living spaces at 23 Gleneagle Court in Buderim is now in the hands of an owner/occupier.

$1.85-million,” Mr Cattle says. “They wanted to stop the auction about week ago. We said we feel that if you do that you may leave a bit of money on the table.

“We didn’t think it was going to be about $560,000 on the table. But we did think with the volume of interest that selling before auction could be risky.

Sometimes you need to hold firm and keep everyone for auction day.”

“I think there is a lot of money that is being left on the table around the Coast because people are selling off market or selling before auction,” he adds. “I think it’s so risky for people and you never know unless you go all the way.”

Buderim is brilliant It’s still possible to find value in Buderim says Ray White chief auctioneer Jake Loiero.

He says the three-bedroom house at 47 Jones Road in Buderim, which last sold in 2016 for $387,500 and was then partially renovated, isn’t a massive home but opened the opportunity to someone wanting to join the very popular community which recently was reported as the second most searched suburb in Australia.

It was a long auction with numerous bids, Mr Cattle adds.

with MWP’s man in the water

Well, there may not have been much surf, but the end of the whale season has turned out pretty special. While recently paddling offshore at Caloundra early Saturday morning a female whale decided to put on a show for us and a cruising yacht by breaching in front of us no less than 15 times. Only a few days earlier, a curious calf and mother decided to circle us with a playful nature. It was nothing short of extraordinary. Throw in a beautiful sunrise and life is not too bad living here. Enjoy.

FISHING REPORT with Steve Dingle

The weather has been up and down, but on the better days fishing offshore has been good on the inner reefs and the middle banks with some quality snapper and pearl perch being the main catches.

Caloundra 9 mile and Sunshine reefs the best. Caloundra and Maroochy waterways have had the better reports for flathead and whiting and this time of year is the best for chasing them.

Borumba Dam has been the hot spot for bass with some saratoga as a bycatch when chasing them on shallow running or surface lures. Beaches have been a little quiet, but worth a look down the southern end of the coast where the better reports of whiting and dart have come from.
