From the editor
Next Tuesday, Australians and New Zealanders will stop and pay their respects to the brave men and women who have given military service to our country.
While Anzac Day commemorates the Gallipoli landing on April 25, 1915, during World War I, today is also an opportunity for the nation to reflect on all our veterans, honour their unwavering courage and pay tribute to those who have lost their lives fighting for our freedom. With honour they served.
This issue, we shine a spotlight on a wonderful Sunshine Coast charity making a difference to the lives of local veterans, and the Ride4Vets motorcycle ride on April 30.
The inaugural event will cover 150km, with funds raised helping Young Veterans Sunshine Coast fill a gap in support for ex-servicemen and women who may be dealing with social, psychological or physical struggles. What a wonderful cause. Turn to page 13 for details.
Also in this edition, we have a delicious Baked Macadamia Caramel Pie recipe from our friends at Nutworks – yum! Until next time, enjoy!

STRENGTH IN JOBS MARKET DEFIES RATE HIKES
Experts say latest employment figures will keep pressure on the Reserve Bank to continue its interest rate hikes. WORDS: AAP.
About 53,000 people found jobs last month, beating expectations and suggesting Australia’s labour market still has plenty of heat.
The lift in employment and fall in unemployed numbers kept the official jobless rate around 50-year lows at 3.5 per cent in March.
“With employment increasing by around 53,000 people, and the number of unemployed decreasing by 1600 people, the unemployment rate remained at a near 50-year low of 3.5 per cent,” Australian Bureau of Statistics
head of labour statistics Lauren Ford says.
Ms Ford says both the employmentto-population ratio, lifting 0.1 per cent to 64.4 per cent, and the participation rate, holding firm at 66.7 per cent, are close to historic highs.
The figures reflect ongoing tightness in the labour market.
They explain why employers are finding it hard to fill roles, she says.
The March labour force figures follow a few months of seesawing results driven by an abnormally large number of people waiting to start new jobs in
January and then taking up those roles in February.
KPMG chief economist Brendan Rynne says the labour force report illustrates the strength of the economy, as well as its ability to exceed expectations.
Dr Rynne expects to see around 20,000 jobs added to the economy –a figure based largely on ABS job payroll data.
“What this shows is just amazing strength within the labour market and the Australian economy, and certainly much, much stronger than what any of us had predicted,” he says.
BIS Oxford Economics head of macroeconomic forecasting Sean Langcake says faster population growth has helped soak up strong demand for workers in the tight market.
“While the labour market continues to track in such a strong position, there will continue to be upward pressure on wage growth,” he says.
Mr Langcake says the numbers will keep pressure on the Reserve Bank to hike in May after it opted to pause interest rate rises in April, with higher rates yet to do much to temper demand and cool wage and inflation pressures.
“There are very few signs of weakness in these data and little to suggest the labour market is slackening in a meaningful way,” he says.
Indeed, NAB analysis of Seek job data reveals signs of ad numbers steadying, after falling sharply in the back half of last year.
The job ads figures, which can point to upcoming trends in the labour market, fell 0.6 per cent in March.
They continued a broad pattern of stabilisation through the early months of 2023.
QLD SEEKS UNIFIED POLICY ON STUDENT PHONE BAN
Queensland has signalled it’s open to banning public school students from using their mobile phones in the classroom and on school grounds, in line with most other states.
Education Minister Grace Grace plans to call for a unified national approach to phone-use bans.
“She very much wants to see some national consistency here, so if we can have a national policy on this, of course, Queensland will step up to the plate,” Premier Annastasia Palaszczuk says.
Ms Palaszczuk pointed to an anticyberbullying taskforce set up by her government five years ago as having informed its response on the issue so far, but she said it was time for an updated approach.
“I do think we need fresh eyes and a fresh look,” she says.
Opposition education spokesman Christian Rowan says the LNP is monitoring responses to the issue, including in NSW.
“The Opposition has a long-standing position of empowering individuals, school communities, those principals to make those decisions,” he says.
“We’re going to be carefully evaluating what’s happening in NSW and keep an open mind.”

Marketing danger Did you know?
Do you remember?
In the jungles of Madagascar, lemurs get a buzz by chomping down on a particular species of millipede that causes toxins to release, leading them to salivate and appear intoxicated. Besides getting them high, the bugs may also have another positive effect: acting as a pesticide to ward off mosquitoes.
Cute animals are more likely to be endangered, a 2018 study in PLOS Biology found.
The study reported that the most-charismatic animals – such as lions, tigers, elephants, giraffes and other beloved creatures – are more likely to face threats to their survival. As the study’s author puts it, “Unknowingly, companies using giraffes, cheetahs or polar bears for marketing purposes may be actively contributing to the false perception that these animals are not at risk of extinction, and therefore not in need of conservation.”

The series focused on a squad of youthful-looking undercover police officers investigating crimes in high schools, colleges and other teenage venues. The series provided a spark to Johnny Depp’s acting career and recognition as a teen idol (although he wasn’t fond of this status). Depp was released from his contract after the fourth season.

Australian Army veteran and Beerwah local Michael Chapman has finally found what he was looking for.
A simple chat with his partner Dani Pares not only led to a meaningful way to commemorate the life of a dear cousin killed in action in Afghanistan.
It also uncovered a worthy Sunshine Coast charity they can support financially to help men and women get back on track and move forward with their lives on returning home from military service.
The Ride4Vets motorcycle event and community afterparty on April 30 will honour the memory of Ashley Birt: the first Gympie soldier to be killed in action since the Vietnam War.
Visitors to the Australian War Memorial in Canberra will find his name on the Roll of Honour – one of 41 killed as a result of their service in Australia’s longest war.
RIDING TO REMEMBER
Ashley had followed his brother Dale into the army, enlisting on June 6, 2007, and being allocated to the Royal Australian Engineers as a geospatial technician.
He went on to become a highly skilled Corporal in the 1st Topographical Survey Squadron and one of more than 39,000 Australian soldiers sent to Afghanistan between 2001 and 2021.
Our troops were committed to supporting the US in containing the threat of international terrorism in the wake of the 9/11 attacks by Al Qaeda, which had sought sanctuary in the country.
Australian War Memorial Military History Section historian Aaron Pegram notes in the script of The Last Post ceremony, commemorating Ashley’s service, that he was deployed to Afghanistan in May 2011 as part of Combined Team Uruzgan to help bring
peace and stability to the province and improve the lives of the local population.
The mission also included mentoring the Afghan National Army to take a more active role in maintaining peace and security against the Taliban insurgents.
“In October 2011, he left the multinational base at Tarin Kot for the remote Forward Operating Base at Sorkh Bed in neighbouring Kandahar province,” the videotaped ceremony on November 12, 2015, reports.
“Four days later, on the morning of 29 October, 2011, Birt was dismissed from a routine parade when a rogue Afghan National Army soldier opened fire on a cluster of Australian soldiers, wounding 10 before being killed by Australian troops.
“Ashley Birt was one of three soldiers killed. He died instantly, aged just 22.
“Dale Birt was serving in Afghanistan at the time and escorted his brother’s body back to Australia, where the loss of such a well-liked and respected member of their community devastated the people of Gympie.
“A memorial service was held at the local pavilion, attended by more than

2000 people, and Birt was buried with full military honours at the Gympie Cemetery.”
It wasn’t just Ashley’s ultimate sacrifice that came as a savage blow to his family and community.
‘Birty’ was a larrikin who lived life to the fullest, excelling at representative hockey, also enjoying mountain biking, sky diving, touch football, and loving nothing better than sharing time with his mates over a few beers.
Cousin Michael hopes to tap into that celebration of life and camaraderie in the Ride4Vets initiative.
The inaugural motorcycle ride will cover 150 kilometres in a round trip from Beerwah to Kenilworth, raising funds for Young Veterans Sunshine Coast.
“The whole idea stems from having such a strong military presence around here [on the Sunshine Coast],” the Ray White Mooloolaba sales and marketing representative says.
“I didn’t realise how many veterans there are on the Coast and how many are in business.
“I was actually on the bus into the military two days after my 17th birthday – straight out of high school and straight in. I was just in Enoggera. I wasn’t deployed anywhere.
“I was just in and out in between the first Gulf War and East Timor. Dani’s parents spent 20-plus years in the Navy.
“Being in real estate, I want to be able to give back to the community as much as possible.
“I’ve always been looking for something that, for me, held a lot of value – that out of every [property] sale, I could donate $500 towards a decent charity of some form.
“Young Veterans Sunshine Coast has actually fulfilled that commitment I’ve been looking for.”
Michael only met Young Veterans Sunshine Coast president Peter (‘PK’) Kennedy and Steph Shipman, who run The Local Beerwah Café and Bar a month ago.
But from little things, big things grow. The Local was offered as the start and finish point for the 8am ride and venue for the afterparty.
Ray White Mooloolaba came on board as the primary sponsor and Michael has since been overwhelmed by the generosity of Sunshine Coast businesses big and small.
Beerwah Village stores are providing all the food for the afterparty, while other local businesses – including major motorcycle stores AMX Superstores, Team Moto and Sunshine Coast HarleyDavidson – have donated equipment and apparel, services and other major prizes for the raffle draws.
About 40 riders registered through word of mouth alone.
But Michael is hopeful as many as 150 could now take part – making him dare to dream that Ride4Vets becomes an annual event held nation-wide on the Sunday following Anzac Day each year, raising funds for veterans.
He and Dani will take part this year aboard a 2022 white Indian Springfield Dark Horse.
“From the groups that I ride in, we’re going to have Harley Davidsons, Ducatis, all forms of sports bikes and cruisers,” Michael says.
“There will even be a couple of enduro bikes there as well. It’s actually got a lot bigger.
“It’s become a community event, not just a ride.”
Word is spreading and Michael says that from expecting to raise $1000 to $2000 initially from the event, his sights are now set on $10,000.
His charitable efforts have already been repaid on a personal level.
“From this event, just a couple of days ago, I received a message from one of guys that actually was there when my cousin got shot and killed,” Michael says.
“He provided CPR to him but unfortunately wasn’t able to save him.
“He just moved to Brisbane and has now joined the ride.”

LIFE AFTER THE MILITARY
Young Veterans began in 2012 to fill a gap in support for ex-servicemen and women who may be dealing with social, psychological or physical struggles.
Young Veterans Sunshine Coast president Peter Kennedy says the organisation provides everything from links to employment, upskilling, resumes and courses, to medical, social and sporting groups, financial education, and physical and mental health support.
Although concentrating on younger ex-servicemen and women, Young Veterans also helps some older clients find their feet after “falling through the cracks” of other support organisations. Current Sunshine Coast Chapter clients range from 19 to 88, living from Caboolture to Hervey Bay, Peter says.
“Leaving the ADF can be difficult as you are leaving your tribe, leaving behind an organisation that you have committed your life to and you leave behind the social and medical supports,” he says.
“You quite often move to a community where you don’t know anyone. Your kids start new schools, with new friends.
“You are doing the same either with no job or a new job and often no friends, no support.
“Young Veterans attempts to fill that void by providing that link to social outreach and friendships with like-minded people. We assist with linking the

Peter, himself, has 32 years’ military service in the Air Force where he was a C130 Loadmaster (aircrew) with 10 tours of Iraq and Afghanistan and vast amounts of deployments in support of humanitarian and disaster relief.
He became Young Veterans Sunshine Coast president in 2019.
“We currently have a veterans-owned
cafe at Beerwah called The Local and next April we are opening a second venue called the Veterans’ Coffee Hub which will be in the new Beerwah Health Hub,” he says.
“It will be a coffee shop/cafe for the whole public but will be a business hub as well as a one-stop shop for veterans and their families who require any assistance.”

CENTENARIAN’S VICTORY IN THE PACIFIC DAY MEMORIES
Of all the memories World War II veteran Len Seto has over 100 years in a well-lived life, Victory in the Pacific Day on August 15, 1945, will always stand out.
That day, Japanese Emperor Hirohito’s announcement of surrender brought the war to an end.
Len was serving in New Guinea as a signalman with the 2/11th Field Regiment and recalls that he was under fire at the time, and trying to stay as low as possible on the ground, when he heard the field telephone ring.
He answered the call that informed him that the war was over – to which Len’s prompt response was to suggest that headquarters may wish to tell those firing at them of the news.
From the ordinary to the extraordinary, Len’s life over the past 100 years has seen a spectrum of experiences.
Caloundra RSL Sub Branch shone a light on his life in presenting him with a birthday certificate on April 11, in the lead-up to the 2023 Anzac Day commemorations.
Len worked as an 18-year-old clerk and lounge waiter before he enlisted in the Australian Army in December 1941. His decision to enlist was sparked by

his adventurous spirit and desire to do his duty.
After returning to Australia in 1946 and discharging in May of that year, Len went on to undertake a career in signwriting before helping to upskill the next generation of apprentices as a TAFE teacher.
While he has had to endure his fair share of challenges – from the difficulties experienced post-service to being impacted by the 1974 Brisbane floods, he has also found great joy in his family: four children and four grandchildren.
When asked how he feels to be turning 100, Len says, “I thank God that I’ve reached this milestone”, adding his advice is to eat “plenty of chocolate and ice cream”.
Ahead of Anzac Day, Len’s son Paul says that he, too, has had a strong connection to April 25 throughout his life, with his earliest memories being woken up as a boy and taken to the commemorative service in Brisbane.
With all seven of his Irish uncles having served in World War I, Paul has pursued a life-long interest in the military and military history – leading him to devote his life to working in conflict resolution and peacekeeping.

MAKING THE MOST OF A PRECIOUS LIFE
Claire Jenkins will let little stop her. At age 50, the breast cancer survivor and fitness fanatic is preparing to run a marathon to raise funds for a cause close to her heart.
Ms Jenkins had always diligently checked her breasts for lumps since first seeing a guide hanging in a shower during her first year of university. Then 10 years ago, just after her 40th
birthday, she found something she was constantly looking for but hoped never to appear.
“In March 2013, I checked my breasts and there were no lumps,” she says.
“In April 2013, I checked and found a small but definite lump in my left breast.
“I found the lump on a Sunday, went to the doctor on the Monday, had a biopsy straight away and by the Thursday, I had the news I’d been both
dreading and expecting. I had breast cancer.”
Ms Jenkins says she had the lump removed but there was no clear margin of healthy tissue.
She had further surgery but, unfortunately, this still did not give clear margins, so the next step was a mastectomy.
“I opted to have both breasts removed because I knew that otherwise I’d lie awake in bed at night worrying that the cancer would return in my remaining breast,” Ms Jenkins says.
“I also opted to have my uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and cervix removed, again to reduce the risk of a re-occurrence of cancer.
“I’m incredibly fortunate that I had those options available to me.
“Not everyone does.”
Ms Jenkins had an implant reconstruction shortly after her mastectomy.
However, seven years later, she decided to have them removed as they were causing her pain and discomfort.
“Now I’m flat and blissfully happy,” Ms Jenkins admits.
Since her diagnosis, and as part of her recovery, she has “reinvented” herself, becoming a yoga teacher, Pilates and barre instructor and personal trainer at The Local Gym Woombye.
She is also studying exercise physiology with a dream to help people live better in their bodies.
Her next focus is the Sunshine Coast Marathon in August.
Ms Jenkins will run 42 kilometres to raise $10,000 for cancer research.
She began training in January under the guidance of her online coach Kathryn Proctor.
“I chose to run a marathon for a
couple of reasons,” she says.
“Firstly, I wanted to pick something big, something that felt like a fitting celebration of turning 50 and being 10 years cancer-free.
“I also wanted to pick something both physically and mentally challenging, because having cancer is both of those things.
“It’s also extremely important to me to demonstrate that it’s possible to have a rich and rewarding life after a cancer diagnosis.
“That’s a difficult message because some people only have a very short period of time available to them after their diagnosis.
“I’m very much aware I’m one of the very lucky ones.
“Knowing how lucky I am, I’m trying to make the absolute most out of the gift I’ve been given.”
While Ms Jenkins’ story is touched by breast cancer, she is raising this awareness for every form cancer, no matter what coloured ribbon is associated with it.
“Every cancer has a colour,” she says.
“Mine is pink. My sister’s is teal. My mum’s was peach.
“If I add in my other loved ones, we make up the colours of the rainbow.”
From her journey, Ms Jenkins is reminding the community to keep track of their health.
If something seems ‘off’, go and see a doctor.
“My biggest message is, if anything changes or doesn’t seem right, go straight to the doctor and don’t stop going until you’re confident you have the right answer,” she says.

SECOND CHANCES
Sharon Brooks is multi-talented singer, songwriter, actor and producer who has become a global phenomenon. She has inspired countless individuals with her triumphant story of overcoming cancer and re-igniting her career in the film and music industries.
Recently featuring in Baz Luhrmann’s film Elvis, Brooks is preparing to bring her hugely popular 1970s-inspired show DiscoTrain to Baringa later this month. How did you fall in love with music and film? – Growing up in Barbados, music was ever-present in my life. My mum says I was literally born singing. I was three years old

when my passion for performance began to take shape. I would model up and down the corridors of our home, striking poses for the camera. My introduction to the stage came at 15, with my brother Selwyn by my side. We entered the Richard Stoute Teen Talent Competition: a renowned national event in Barbados. We placed third and a few years later, I returned to the competition as a solo act and won. From that moment on, I have never left the stage.
What is your genre or style of music? – My music is a tapestry of sound and rhythm: a unique fusion of funk, soul, calypso, hip-hop and reggae delicately interwoven with jazz and soul.
What is one of the most memorable moments of your career so far? – Without a doubt, landing a role in the Elvis movie. When the chance to audition for one of Elvis’s backing vocalists, The Sweet Inspirations, presented itself, I couldn’t resist. I was fortunate enough to spend a significant amount of time on set, absorbing the magic of the filmmaking process and working alongside talented individuals including Tom (Hanks)and Austin (Butler) and Baz Luhrmann.
Tell me about your cancer journey? – It was an intense two years of losing everything, but I truly have a strong faith in my God and was given a second chance to live my dream. I don’t take this for granted
and the realisation that I had been granted another opportunity to pursue my passions became my saving grace during my battle with cancer. It motivated me to reassess my career and explore ways to improve it.
What is your advice to others wanting to pursue a career in music? – Success in the music business is undoubtedly possible, but as with any other profession, it requires dedication, hard work and perseverance. Equip yourself with the necessary skills by seeking education, training and practice. What do you love about the Sunshine Coast?
– As someone born and raised in Barbados, I can’t help but be drawn to the Sunshine Coast for its striking similarities to my island home. I have lived on the Sunshine Coast for 13 years, since moving to Australia, and I’m proud to call this beautiful region my home and my community. I am deeply committed to the growth and development of the local arts and entertainment scene and I plan to continue collaborating with the many talented artists and organisations.

PROFILE
Cancer sidetracked her career but a Coast entertainer has clawed back her dreams, with the help of a role in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis film.
A STUDY IN TIME AND TIDE ON ISLAND LANDSCAPE
Areview of the causes of erosion that led to a tidal breakthrough at Bribie Island has shed more light on the event.
A 48-page report, by maritime design house and technical consulting firm BMT, has been delivered to the Department of Environment and Science (DES) after the ocean crashed its way through the northern
end of the island early last year.
The Review of Causes of Northern Bribie Island Erosion reveals that erosion has been an issue there for decades. It outlines there was considerable community angst post-breakthrough about the perceived loss of coastal protection to the mainland and a desire to understand the causes of erosion.
The report says the DES is of the view
that erosion along the island is due to natural causes.
BMT was tasked with studying the impacts of natural coastal processes, dredging at the Spitfire Sand Extraction Zone, dredging at the Northwest Channel, vessel traffic and the development of Lamerough Canal.
It found that large waves on the island’s eastern side and channel migration within Pumicestone Passage on the western side were the primary causes of long-term erosion, leading to the breakthrough.
“Erosion from waves, and in particular large waves from tropical lows or cyclones, is not sufficiently counterbalanced by subsequent accretion (build-up of sand), leading to a long-term negative sediment budget and therefore overall erosion of the eastern shoreline,” the report reads.
“The western shoreline has eroded as a result of the migration of the channel, forced by the growth and migration of sand shoals in the northern part of the passage.
“These two natural processes have resulted in a consistent trend of erosion from the 1940s to the present time and are identified as the leading cause of erosion on the northern portion of Bribie Island.”
The review finds no evidence to suggest dredging in the Spitfire area impacted the island, due to distance and sand migration patterns, and that dredging in the
Northwest Channel did not appear to contribute to erosion either, with exposed rock patches indicating negligible rates of sediment transport.
The review reveals that wake from large vessels offshore did break on the shoreline of the island but with minimal impact, while wake from smaller vessels within the passage contributed a minor amount of erosion. The development of Lamerough Canal created additional tidal volume within the Passage, but appeared to have no significant influence on tidal flow.
The review suggests further studies for “a detailed understanding of how the new arrangement of Bribie Island has changed the local coastal processes”.
Maritime Safety Queensland general manager Kell Dillon says it continues to monitor the conditions in the Passage and around the island.
“This is a complex area. Tidal effects on the coastline are difficult to predict and will change as we have seen with time,” he says.
“We will move navigation aids as required to mark the best available water, once channels become more stable.”
A Sunshine Coast Council spokesperson says the council is acting to counter erosion and stormwater surge at Golden Beach – aided by its Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy and the Bribie Island Breakthrough Action Plan.

FROM THE MAYOR
It’s no secret our parks and gardens are loved and appreciated by our community and visitors.
And Sunshine Coast’s newest – Sippy Downs Forest Park – includes a forest adventure, that is sure to be popular.
A feature of the new park is a three-level tower, elevated in the tree canopy surrounded by lofty trees and creeping vines.
As my fellow Councillor, Christian Dickson who represents Division 6 has said, the tower gives kids a bird-like feeling of being high among the trees, while gazing over the forest park from their perch.
The tower, which will help children’s confidence soar in a safe environment, complements cool, shaded areas where children, parents and grandparents can relax in comfort.
The park also features contemporary shelters and public amenities and a mixture of established trees and open spaces, social spaces with barbecues and a variety of natural seating options.
Importantly, a forest experience can be enjoyed by all ages and abilities.
Check out the new park soon. You can access it from Botanica Drive, Central Drive and High Street at Sippy Downs.
Local artists shine in gallery exhibition
Featuring students as young as six, right through to established local artists, the exhibition celebrates art across a range of mediums.
The Local Artists – Local Content Art Prize 2023 Exhibition is on show now at Caloundra Regional Gallery, showcasing 40 finalist works by our region’s most talented artists.
The diverse collection of entries into the local art prize culminates in a stunning mix of traditional mediums, works on paper, as well as 3D and 2D pieces.
Although the works are available to view online, visiting the gallery is encouraged. Seeing the art in person reveals the true texture and detail, which is so tricky to capture in a photo. During the exhibition, a range of events, talks and workshops are available to provide a deeper understanding of the works.
Visitors can also view the Local Student Art Prize exhibition, which
provides a snapshot of the region through the lens of youth.
This enlightening collection presents subjects that have captured the attention of artists as young as six, right through to 17 years.
The exhibitions are on show until May 7.
Caloundra Regional Gallery is open from 10am, Tuesday to Sunday, and located at 22 Omrah Avenue, Caloundra. Entry is free.
Winners were presented at the launch of the exhibition.
Sunshine Coast residents are invited to gather for a march and candlelight vigil to remember those who have lost their lives to domestic and family violence.

Thank you to mums everywhere
Sunshine Coast women are bolstering the business community with their hard work and determination, and you can show your support.
There’s a lot to learn and appreciate about our mums: the way they act as our rocks, their ability to put us first, and most of all their strength and determination.
For many mums, these traits have helped them build and operate successful businesses.
Coastal Landscape Supplies owner and proud mum Kylie Pitt has operated the business successfully for more than 15 years, thanks to her mum’s belief in her.
“When somebody believes in you so wholeheartedly, you just naturally think that I must be able to do it.
“I’m so thankful to my mum for giving that gift to me,” she says.
Sunshine by Vanessa founder Vanessa Rockliff thrives on the challenge presented by operating a business.
Her business supports mums through self-care and building positive mental health.
“The business is about helping to support the mum community and each other. That’s what I’m excited about,” Vanessa says.
Natalie Crombie loves supporting
other local businesses, and her two boys, through her creative agency, Etch & Co.
“We work and help other local businesses evolve as we collaborate, which is important in supporting local mums and businesses,” Natalie says.
These women are just a few Sunshine Coast business owners who do great work at home and in the workplace.

‘PLANNED BURNS’ BEGIN TO HELP PROTECT COMMUNITY
Sunshine Coast Council’s annual planned burn season is underway.
Peregian Springs, Caloundra, Alexandra Headland, Buderim, Landsborough, Caloundra West, Palmview, Diamond Valley and Yandina Creek will undergo burns before September, if conditions are suitable.
Environment and Liveability Portfolio
Councillor Peter Cox says Council’s proactive Bushfire Management Program aims to protect the community and enhance our environment.
“Planned burns help reduce the amount of forest fuel in targeted locations,” Cr Cox says.
“With more than 60 per cent of Council’s bushland relying on fire to thrive, regenerate and maintain healthy wildlife populations, periodic fire is important to the health and survival of our forests and the animals that have adapted to live in them.”
Advance notice will be placed on Council’s Facebook page. Information is also available on Council’s website.

Queensland Youth Parliament is a program designed to engage young people, aged 15 to 25, and guide them through the Parliamentary process. More than 90 participants gather to discuss the issues facing our youth and develop legislation that they will debate later in the year. In addition to being the Youth Parliament Member for Glass House, Nathaniel has also been placed on the committee of the organisation’s Health Services, Seniors and Disability Services, Emergency and Ambulance Services.

HINTERLAND WELCOMES COAST’S LATEST MEN’S SHED FACILITY
A hinterland community now has an extra meeting hub after the official opening of a well-respected organisation’s new facility.
Mooloolah Community Men’s Shed was opened by members of the Mooloolah Valley Community Association.
Men’s Shed president Colin Roy says the facility will provide many benefits to the community.
“The benefits of a local men’s shed includes physical and mental health benefits, alleviation of loneliness, learning and teaching new skills, new friendship networks, and social gatherings for all joining the group,” Mr Roy says.
The shed was built using a $250,000 federal government grant and constructed on land behind the existing Mooloolah Valley Community Centre.
“There has been a groundswell of local support for a men’s shed to be built in Mooloolah Valley and today we can celebrate its opening,” Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace says.
He says the shed was championed by Bernie and Anita Verwayen and backed by the Mooloolah Valley Community Association committee and more than 300 residents.

BECOMING A BEQUESTOR
When it comes to planning for the future, many people focus on the financial and practical aspects of estate planning.
However, it’s also important to consider the impact we can make after we’re gone.
As we grow older, it’s natural to start thinking about what kind of legacy we want to leave behind. We might think about the impact we’ve made on the world, the relationships we’ve built, or the experiences we’ve had.
But one thing that many people overlook is the power of leaving a gift in their will to have a lasting impact on the lives of many.
Over the past 25 years, bequests to Wishlist have delivered special services and lifesaving equipment within our Children’s Ward, helped provide the Coast community with new and
HAIL REPAIR CENTRE
improved multi-disciplinary cancer services at Nambour Hospital and served to keep families close at a time when they need to be the most.

DRIVING INDEPENDENCE
Anew service has launched in the Caloundra area, offering a safe, friendly and reliable companion driving service for residents.
Driving Miss Daisy Caloundra West is designed to assist people who need to leave their homes for appointments or shopping.
It aims to fill a gap and take pressure off family who are often called upon to help transport elderly patients, those living with Alzheimer’s or disabilities, vulnerable people and those who have trouble with mobility.
The face behind the local franchise is Helen Newey who, through her own experience, struggled to take her mother-in-law to appointments during the day when she was working.
“We have had so many passengers tell us they need to get out of their homes and do things,” she says.
“It might be shopping, going to the vet with a pet or a medical appointment.
“They know we are with them from their front door right the way through the journey and returning home safe and sound.
“We’ve also found that once people have retired and as they get a bit older, their family support has moved away and they don’t have anyone close by. So, there was a need for this kind
of
Ms Newey says as part of the service, the companion driver helps with locking up and provides company while the client waits for an appointment or goes shopping.
There is often time for a coffee and a chat while out and about.
“In all of our rides, we don’t just drive them, we want our passengers to enjoy the journey chatting about all sorts of things or listening to their favourite music – and for some people, that’s something they don’t get a chance to do every day,” Ms Newey says.
As well as providing transport to and from appointments, Driving Miss Daisy can take people on outings, to weddings and wherever else they need to go from Caloundra West to Kawana, Beerwah and the hinterland.
It also offers other very specialised services, including taking children to school, sport and specialist appointments.
All drivers are trained, police-cleared, first-aid and National Disability Insurance Scheme compliant, carry working with children certification and are Friends of Dementia.
For more information, find Driving Miss Daisy Caloundra West on Facebook.

Abstract
SLOPPY DRIVING CAN TAKE ITS TOLL SHARING IN THE SPIRIT OF EASTER
Jane Stephens is happy to drive support for all Queensland motorists to undertake online tests of road rules to renew their licences.
Two hundred and ninety-nine: that is how many people died on Queensland roads last year. Sixty more souls were lost between January 1 and the start of this month.
By anyone’s measure, that is a lot of death. Hearts are breaking all over the state. When compared to the 638 people who died on the state’s roads in 1973, we should feel good – but that is because in 50 years, we have seen the advent of seatbelts, airbags, lower blood-alcohol allowances, speed cameras, drug testing, young driver limits and greater enforcement.
We have supported all those measures (sometimes after a period of resistance) because we realised they were being brought in to try to keep more of us alive.
Now the government, despairing at the highest number of deaths on the roads in a decade, wants something more: an online test of road knowledge every time a driver renews their licence.
That is a truly terrific idea, I reckon.
Most of us get our licence as soon as we are legally allowed, champing at the bit to turn 17 and wheel our way down independence highway.
We accepted there were steps in that process. We accepted they cost us time and money. We gave both willingly. And then our skills were never tested again – we got a one-off pass grade and that was it for good. It is very strange, considering how high the stakes are.
In Queensland, new drivers now have to pass knowledge, hazard perception and practical driving tests. This triumvirate (as well as a requirement to have truckloads of hours under the supervision of an experienced driver) has been developed to plug gaps in newbies’ readiness and stop so many of them dying. What is good for them is good for those of us who have had our licence for years.
Are people scared they will be found out as a bit rusty and sloppy behind the wheel? Be made to brush up or re-affirm their road know-how? How is that in any way a bad thing?
I don’t understand the resistance to checking that licensed drivers are still up to the task. As a fellow road user, I would feel better knowing everyone on the blacktop has been recently assessed. I would feel more confident in the currency of my own driving knowledge, too.
Ashley Robinson is no bunny and has faith that about this time next year, he will be welcoming a recurring dream again.
Just looking back a couple of weeks, how good was the Easter weather?
Classic crisp mornings and evenings and sunny days – it reminded me of when I was growing up. Add the westerly winds and glassy ocean for basically perfect April/May weather ... and not a climate-change soul in sight.
It did remind me of something else: questioning whether there really is an Easter Bunny. My memories went back to 1966 on the veranda at Eudlo State School when one of the older kids told me the Easter Bunny wasn’t real. I pushed back until a chorus of others backed him up.
I then went home and had a man-toman talk with Dad, asking him if the rabbit wasn’t real. What about Santa and, more importantly, the tooth fairy? What was going on?
I think at the time, my main concern was the tooth fairy and how much cash I would be missing out on. So, I will keep the results of that hard conversation to myself. But it raises the question of belief.
You have to believe in something as reality at the moment is far too real.
Take the spirit world. For me, it is
something I believe and just to reinforce that, the night before I wrote this column, I dreamt about Mum and Dad.
It was a moving type of dream and in it I was surprised they were still alive, happy that I was with them and we were back on the farm in Eudlo. When I woke up, it was like they had actually been in the room with me and it left me in a very warm, comfortable state. It reinforced my belief.
What even made it better (as it doesn’t happen very often, maybe once a year), my Dad died in 1984 and so in my mind, our paths have crossed plenty of times in those years. Mum died in 2012 and the dreams changed a bit then – probably just with a woman’s touch to them, as only Edna could do for her ‘Mummy’s boy’.
It’s funny that the latest dream was at Easter because it was Edna’s favourite time of year. She was very spiritual.
Belief is a wonderful thing and I look forward to the Easter Bunny and hopefully a visit from Mum and Dad next year.
As Saint Augustine said: “Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.”
Amen to that.

WHEN IT COMES TO THE CRUNCH ... GREAT LEADERS POSSESS TOP NEGOTIATION SKILLS
Iam sorry to inform you I missed a big story in recent weeks, people. It revolves around hot chips – a great passion in my life.
I was perhaps too focused on the daily bet we have in our family to see if Wayne Bennett will actually crack a smile on any given weekend with the stellar launch of his Dolphins team. So far, he has not.
I was also caught up with the release of memes on social media of shih tzus dressed up as Star Wars characters as their obsessed human owners film this cute madness. Look, I never claim to live a cultured and diverse life.
But back to hot chips. A new twist consists of serving the golden strips of goodness, covered in lollies and hundreds and thousands, has left me with nightmares. The loaded fries dish was
hot chip. Plenty of salt. Not too soggy. Crisp. Always piping hot. The perfect quantity in a little carton that you can buy from the comfort of your car and then cradle in your lap as you exit the drivethrough lane and eat the perfect chip in total silence. It is a guilty pleasure.
Our corner convenience store at Buddina is called Norma’s and for $5, you receive heaps of yummy chips with chicken salt, all wrapped up in butcher’s paper. That is a party waiting to happen.
If I go to a pub or restaurant, I am quite excited by a bowl of hot chips served with aioli on the side. Fancy chips.
The best hot chips and gravy, in my opinion, is the downstairs café near the gift shop at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. And the Maleny Hotel will give you a secret serving of vinegar with their
To me, there are two great mysteries surrounding the legal profession. Why is it that law firms promote lawyers to leadership roles because of proven technical skills rather than leadership attributes, and why is it that law faculties across our universities create pedagogies that overlook the most fundamental of lawyer skills – negotiation?
Surely, that skill is more pertinent to practice than theoretical subjects that are seldom used in practice?
I recently wrote an in-house training module on negotiation theory and strategies for lawyers. I found myself describing attributes of effective negotiators that were largely the same as those I used when writing a module on what makes great leaders. And it got me wondering, is it a co-incidence or do good negotiators naturally make great leaders?
reliable and behave in a way that builds confidence they will do what they say.
5. They think big picture. Great leaders seem to innately hold a world view, despite having a limited sphere of influence, while good negotiators also see the bigger picture – both are mindful of the impact that their actions or decisions can have more widely than the immediate situation.
6. They admit to mistakes. They are realists. In many organisations, the trusted and effective leaders admit to shortcomings, just as good negotiators admit to mistakes to build rapport.
7. They know their impact. In both leadership and negotiation, those with emotional intelligence can take the temperature of the room.
8. They are quick thinking. Their ability to recognise a need for strategic re-direction in real time is invaluable.
9. They know patience. Both realise the times to pause and moments to strike.
10. They respect. No one wants to negotiate with, or be led by, an egomaniac. Being respectful and building trust is central to success.

Baked Macadamia Caramel Tart
Serves: 8-16 | Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 20-25 minutes
A rich, creamy dessert bursting with the beloved taste of macadamias, this delicious treat is sure to be a crowd pleaser on any table. Why not serve it up with freshly whipped cream and sprinkled with Nutworks Macadamia Brittle.
Ingredients
• 1 large shortcrust pastry flan (readymade)
• 150g Nutworks raw macadamias
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup brown sugar (packed firmly)
• 395g condensed milk.
Method
1. Preheat oven to 175°C.
2. Prepare flan in an oven-proof pie dish or baking tray for ease of transferring. Depending on the size of the flan purchased, you may have some leftover mixture to create a second tart.
3. Pour the Nutworks raw macadamias into the flan. If the macadamias seem too large, chop up to suit.
4. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, vanilla extract and brown sugar. Once combined, whisk in condensed milk.
5. Bake for 20-25mins or until golden brown.
6. After 20-25mins of baking, the centre will be slightly springy to the touch (it will set firmer). If the flan is getting too dark but the centre needs longer, cover with foil and check in five-minute intervals.
This recipe is from Nutworks at 37 Pioneer Road, Yandina, or visit nutworks.com.au.
This region is the true birthplace of the macadamia nut. The majestic macadamia tree first evolved 60 million years ago, in the ideal conditions of Queensland’s tropical rainforests. The native Australian tree nut was a valued traditional food source in our region long before European settlement, with Indigenous Australians considering macadamia nuts a delicacy – not too different from how the rest of the world sees the nut today. In 2019, researchers from the University of Queensland found through extensive DNA studies that all the macadamias grown across Australia and around world can all trace their heritage to a small group of wild trees on private land in Mooloo, near Gympie, and a wild site at Mount Bauple. Believe it or not, descendants of these original trees still exist in these locations – proof for why the region should be proud as the home of the tasty and 100 per cent original Australian nut.
Aussie spirit goes for gold
Beachtree Distilling Company has struck gold yet again for its Skippy Gin. After taking a double gold win in 2022, the small-batch gin took out the Gin/Spirit category at the 2023 International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), while also receiving silver in the Gin and Tonic micro-category.
The IWSC is critiqued by judges with decades of combined expertise. The judges described the gin's flavour profile as “fleshy rhubarb, lemon thyme, and verbena with elegant notes of violet and strawberry candy”. The gin features many native Australian botanicals and unique ingredients such as strawberry gum, wattleseed, lemon myrtle, Kakadu plum, finger lime and pepperberries. Based in Caloundra, Beachtree Distilling Co is inspired by ‘spirits of the land’. Visit beachtree. com.au.

THE ULTIMATE WAY TO ENJOY OVER-50s LIVING
The downsizing journey into an over-50s lifestyle resort proved a pure delight for Brian and Pauline Ray, who today call GemLife Palmwoods in the picturesque Sunshine Coast hinterland home. While the thought of downsizing could be somewhat daunting for a couple who
spent the past 17 years in a large home on acreage, incorporating landscaped gardens, a dam, triple garage and multiple garden sheds on the outskirts of Maleny, it was not the case for the Rays who say the decision was anything but difficult.
“We knew the time was right and although we had amassed more than our

Aged care doesn’t need to be tricky
Lauren is here to help!
We understand that figuring out Aged Care can be daunting. So at Immanuel Gardens, we go above and beyond to make things easier. We offer a dedicated Client & Community Advisor, Lauren Dearing, who will happily answer all your questions.

fair share of possessions and faced a big job to get rid of everything, we were also keen to break away from the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of a big property, including extensive hillside gardens, which I worked on each and every day. I just didn’t want to do it anymore,” Mr Ray says.
Married for 27 years with five children and nine grandchildren between them, the couple found that their family were more sceptical about them downsizing into an over-50s lifestyle resort than the couple themselves.
“Our children were taken aback at first when we told them. They didn’t think I would adapt to the lifestyle on offer, but I can tell you now, after just three months in our new home, I’ve taken to it like a duck to water,” says Mr Ray, brimming with delight.
Mrs Ray has noticed a big change in her husband already.
“He can actually retire fully now, is much more relaxed and… he no longer has any of the maintenance, lawns and garden chores. Instead, he can enjoy the freedom of doing nothing or whatever else he wants to do, and there is plenty here at GemLife Palmwoods to keep us both occupied.”
GemLife resorts, including GemLife Palmwoods, Maroochy Quays and Pacific Paradise, offer premium recreational facilities and low-maintenance homes for the over-50s. Call 1800 317 393 or visit gemlife.com.au
THE SECURITY OF A SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY
When Matt Booth bought a home in Stockland’s Halcyon Promenade community at Burpengary, he bought security and happiness for his wife, Marion. He says he hoped the over-50s, masterplanned and gated community would be somewhere his wife would love to live.
The retired hairdresser has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer and says he needed to know his wife wouldn’t be lonely.
“I wanted a place Marion would be surrounded by a community of people her age,” Mr Booth says.
“I’m not going to be around forever

so that was my main motivation to buy into Halcyon Communities.”
When their son suggested Halcyon Promenade just down the road from his Burpengary East home, he said that it was his number one choice, after looking into a number of other communities.
“Our son looked at the plans and told us that Halcyon Promenade was miles ahead of the rest,” Mr Booth says.
“We’ll get to enjoy a low maintenance lifestyle in retirement, while still remaining close to our grandchildren.”
The couple’s house is the second to be built at the Burpengary site and they hope to move in around May next year.
They’ve already befriended their neighbour Maureen and made friends with several other couples in the street after attending regular social catchups.
“It’s very good. We know the neighbours and we’ve got a little social club going,” Mr Booth says.
Marion says she’s excited to have a spare room to set up as a sewing station.
“We like the idea of having lots of company,” Mrs Booth adds.
“And there will be lots of activities to
COAST CLINIC MARKS 25-YEARS OF WORLD-CLASS CANCER CARE
April marks an important milestone for the Sunshine Coast Haematology & Oncology Clinic (SCHOC), as it celebrates 25 years since opening as the first free-standing day hospital in Queensland.
Since inception, the clinic has facilitated more than 80,000 treatments to patients in need and continues to be a one-of-a-kind in the region, providing haematology, medical oncology, radiation oncology and allied health services under the one roof. With a comprehensive team of medical specialists, allied health professionals and specialist nurses, the clinic is committed to leading the way for world-class cancer care.
First established in the coastal surrounds of Cotton Tree by Dr John Reardon and his wife Sandra, the idea to start the clinic arose from the lack of specialised cancer care services on the Sunshine Coast.
Since establishment, the clinic has offered patients a full-service holistic
The Sunshine Coast’s leading cancer care clinic
to the personalised and non-threatening experience that the clinic offers.
After running the clinic for 15 years, Dr and Mrs Reardon sold the business to Montserrat Day Hospitals.
Seeing the need to expand on the integrated approach to cancer care, the team at Montserrat developed a purpose built $10 million facility in Buderim, reopening the clinic in July 2019, with the addition of GenesisCare radiation oncology, clinical trials and allied health services.
Clinical haematologist, Dr Sorab Shavaksha joined the SCHOC team in 2013 and says, “As leaders in the field of cancer care, we have our finger on the pulse, always keeping up with the latest research and advancements in oncology and haematology. We are proud to conduct a
number of onsite clinical trials in partnership with the University of the Sunshine Coast.”
“Committed to an integrated and holistic approach to cancer care, we provide a number of onsite support services including a McGrath Foundation breast care nurse, exercise physiology, dietetics, clinical psychology and oncology massage therapy.”
“Cancer treatment can be frightening and by offering continuity in the patient’s health care team in one convenient location, anxiety is reduced, and this can assist in their journey.”
The SCHOC team looks forward to celebrating the milestone with patients and their support team during April.

LISTENING TO PROVIDE AGED CARE SOLUTIONS
Figuring out aged care options can be daunting. This is why the team at Immanuel Gardens go above and beyond to make things easier. They offer a dedicated client and community advisor, Lauren Dearing (pictured), who will happily answer all your questions. Lauren has been working at Immanuel Gardens Aged Care & Retirement Living for 13 years and is excited to share the news about the new aged care accommodation options.
What do you love most about your job as a client and community advisor at Immanuel Gardens? I love chatting to older people and supporting them through transitions. Being able to support residents and families with their next step in life is so satisfying. Whether it’s finding out about home care services, buying a retirement villa or moving into aged care. It’s rewarding when you see the elements come together for their next steps. The stories you hear! People have wonderful life adventures.
How do you help residents and their families feel supported and cared for? My job is to help right from the beginning. It could be that first step assisting people to explore the government website My Aged Care, right through to completing all the paperwork for admission into aged care.
What do you think residents and families will love most about the new aged care accommodation options? In each of these 20 new rooms, residents and their families will feel instantly at ease. There’s heaps of natural light coming in and the calm and contemporary colour palette features throughout. The focal point of the Eucalypt living areas is the servery and dining area.

REVERSE YOUR SHOULDER PAIN
The deep tendons of the shoulder (the rotator cuff) play an important role in normal shoulder function. Large tears of the rotator cuff tendons in people over the age of 65 can often not be repaired. This can cause pain, weakness and arthritis of the shoulder that does not respond to physiotherapy and an exercise program.
A standard shoulder replacement will not improve pain and function if the rotator cuff tendons cannot be repaired at surgery. However, if the ball and socket of the shoulder joint are reversed (a reverse shoulder replacement) then the tendons do not need to be repaired.
The mechanical forces in the shoulder are changed so that the large shoulder muscles (the deltoid, biceps and triceps) can now compensate for the lack of rotator cuff tendons. This is how a reverse shoulder replacement relieves pain and restores excellent function to the shoulder joint.
With good prehab (strengthening the large shoulder muscles before surgery), the recovery from reverse shoulder replacement surgery is much quicker and less painful than rotator cuff repair surgery. Patients stay overnight in
hospital and wear a sling for 10 days. After that the shoulder can be moved and used without restrictions under guidance of a physiotherapist. Rehab should be complete by three months post-surgery.
An orthopaedic surgeon can advise you which treatment options are best for your shoulder pain.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE, SEW FOR THE GREATER GOOD
A team of dedicated ladies have been making a difference to those living in largely remote communities by doing what they love – sewing for the greater good.
Sunshine Charity Sewing Group president, Jean Kozak explains, “Through sales at our street stalls and stands at local shopping centres, we raise money to help where we can. We are proud to provide The Shack Community Centre in Nambour with monthly food donations and the money we raise also allows us to post our goods to outlying areas.
“We have received grant money from council to help purchase and service our sewing machines and the public have been amazing in providing an ongoing flow of sewing materials.”
From drawstring bags for patients to take home medical supplies from rural clinics to Christmas T-shirts for an urban school concert, the list of assistance the Sunshine Coast Charity Sewing Group has provided is endless.
“We support emergency foster care with toiletry bags filled with toiletries, and clothes for those in need. We also make tiny preemie night gowns for a neo-natal foundation in Melbourne. A regular recipient is Purple House in Alice Springs.
Purple House provides dialysis in the most remote parts of Australia.
“We knit socks and blankets as patients get cold undergoing treatment,” says Lis Sawyer, group secretary.
And making sure nothing goes to waste, leftover scraps of material are donated to another local organisation who use them to fill pet beds for rescue dog shelters.
For the sewists, the social interaction within the team is a bonus.
“We have fun and laugh a lot while we sew,” Ms Kozak says. “Meeting new people and catching up with our team is good for mental health. So if you love a chat and are an experienced sewist, we are always looking for extra hands.”
The group operates from the Suncare Community Centre in Buddina. For more information on joining the Sunshine Charity Sewing Group or donating materials, contact Lis on 0419346201 or Jean on 0418506546.

ORTHOPAEDIC
Surgery a last resort when it comes to joint pain
Pain in the joint can be caused by many different conditions, one of the most common is osteoarthritis.
The pain caused by osteoarthritis can often cloud patient’s judgement when it comes to seeking advice and treatment. It can feel like there is no help available, or there is so much information but none of it makes any sense. This can often result in poor decision-making or incorrect treatment of your symptoms.
A very effective way to treat osteoarthritis is with a correct diagnosis and the right education provided by a health professional. Talking to a specialist will enable you the best possible treatment options to help with managing your pain.
Often it is recommended to seek treatment with an allied health professional such as a dietician or physiotherapist.
Surgery should always be the last option to treat joint pain. With the right tools and education, surgery can be delayed or even avoided. I would recommend speaking to a specialist about your joint pain today. Remember, never be afraid to ask questions.
The ten commandments of hearing loss
After decades as a hearing rehabilitation specialist I have found that these are the 10 things that a hearing impaired person wants you to know:
1. Thou shall not speak from another room or with your head in a cupboard.
2. Thou shall not speak when the person is not facing you.
3. Thou shall not talk as you walk away.
4. Thou shall not start a conversation facing a person and then turn away halfway through.
5. Thou shall not talk when the background noise is as loud or louder than your voice.
6. Thou shall not begin to speak without gaining the listeners attention when they are engrossed in a TV program or reading a good book.
7. Thou shall not expect to be understood when your face cannot be seen.
8. Thou shall not put something in or cover your mouth whilst talking.
9. Thou shall not yell or shout at a person who is having trouble understanding, say it in a different way and clearly! Louder is not clearer.
10. Thou shall be patient, supportive and loving when the listener appears to have trouble understanding.
Finally, encourage your person with a hearing loss to do something about it.

New minimally invasive treatment
The erector spinae muscles are a large group of muscles that are involved in the stabilisation, flexion and extension of the spine.
Erector spinae blocks are a new, minimally invasive – non-surgical treatment for back pain. They are a type of regional anaesthesia that has been used in the operating theatre for the management of post-operative pain relief.
This type of block can provide effective relief for back pain in patients who may not be surgical candidates. These blocks involve injecting a local anaesthetic solution near the erector spinae muscles that run along the length of the spine under ultrasound guidance.
The procedure typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes to complete and patients can return home on the same day. Normal activities can usually be resumed soon after. When the local anaesthetic medication is injected into the erector spinae muscle space, it numbs the nerves that carry pain signals from the affected area of your body.
Another benefit of erector spinae blocks is that they are a relatively safe and low-risk procedure. All procedures carry risk which can be discussed with your doctor. If back pain is troubling you, contact us for a consultation.
Understanding the ‘other’ skin cancer
Squamous Cell Carcinomas (SCCs) are the second most common skin cancer in Australia. As always, Queensland sees well above the national average.
SCCs usually grow in one place but they can spread to other parts of the body if not treated early enough. They are more likely to be dangerous in sensitive areas like the head and neck.
Thankfully, we can usually treat SCCs before any complications. The best trick is to find them when they are small and excision is easier. Sometimes, they can be caught in the upper layer of the skin. These can be treated with prescription creams or freezing.
People who get many SCCs often have areas of sun damaged skin and pre-cancers.
In these cases there are management options to help prevent and reduce risk, including: vitamin B3, sun-damaged skin treatments, sun protection and regular skin checks.
How do you find SCCs?
Check your skin for sore, changing, abnormal or new skin lesions. Have a thorough skin check with a trained skin cancer doctor.
A Matter of Trust
Many clients who I assist with their estate planning have involvement in a Trust.
When the Trust is established, it comes with a ‘rule book’ known as the Trust Deed.
The rule book sets out important matters such as the Trustee, the Beneficiaries, distribution of income and capital, when the Trust ends etc.
It is important to review the current rule book to ensure matters regarding the Trust are effectively dealt with as part of the estate plan.
Many Trusts have a role called the Appointor or Principal. The rule book commonly states that the Appointor or Principal can kick out the Trustee at any time and appoint another Trustee. That is a powerful role (particularly when the Trusts often contain significant assets).
The rule book commonly has a clause dealing with who takes on the power of the Appointor or Principal if they lose capacity or pass away.
The Appointor or Principal may even be able to nominate their replacement in their Will or by a Deed.
If you are involved in a Trust, make sure your estate plan addresses these matters so that you do not end up with trust issues down the track.
Women urged to consider eye health
April has been declared Women’s Eye Health and Safety Month by Prevent Blindness.
The aim is to raise awareness about women being more susceptible to eyesight issues.
This includes chronic dry eye, often related to menopause, ocular rosacea and inflammatory eye conditions due to autoimmune disease. As women live longer, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma and cataracts are detected more frequently. Simple steps to preserve women’s eye health
1. Stop smoking and eat well Smoking and a diet low in antioxidants is linked to AMD and retinal arterial occlusions.
2. Know your eye family history
Proactively seek this information and have yearly optometry visits to detect early signs of sight threatening eye conditions.
3. Change your eye makeup
Eye makeup contains bacteria that results in lid margin congestion over time. Change/clean the applicators thoroughly every three months.

Beneath a deceptively calm exterior, you’ll feel rather restless this week, Cats. The planets imbue you with a sense of urgency and you’re keen to activate an ambitious project. But selfdiscipline and gradual, structured modifications are what’s needed.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)
A romantic partnership or a creative joint venture looks promising, as long as you are realistic about what you can bring to the table. Promising professional and/or financial opportunities are around, but you need to work out the perfect time to strike.
WORD STEP
Complete the list by changing one letter at a time to create a new word at each step. One possible answer shown below.
TAURUS (APR 21-MAY 21)
The sun conjuncts the North Node (in Taurus), which is fabulous for taking new ideas and incorporating them into your professional plans. Destiny is calling and you’ll find the more you combine the creative with the practical, the better the long-term outcome will be.
VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23)
Mercury (your ruler) is retrograde until May 15. So things won’t run smoothly – especially involving relationships, finances, education or travel. So throw your obsession with perfection out the window. If you adapt to changes, you’ll manage fine.
CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)
This week you’re keen to help, but do other people require your well-meaning assistance? Remember Mercury is in retrograde mode until May 15. So be careful you’re not just being a fussy and finicky meddler. Praise will get you further than criticism.
1. What is the capital of Hungary?
2. In which country is the beer Stella Artois brewed?
3. Where in Australia would you find the Nan Tien Temple?
4. Hayley Williams (pictured) is the keyboardist and lead vocalist of which American alt-rock group?
5. What does IMF stand for?
GEMINI (MAY 22-JUN 21)
Venus is visiting your sign, so you’ll be at your gregarious Gemini best. You’re keen to have fun but, when it comes to a problematic relationship, resist the tendency to be superficial. There’s a lot more going on beneath the surface than meets the eye.
LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)
Mighty Mars is charging through your career zone, so it will be difficult to escape work issues this week. Intense concentration, careful listening and calm compromise are the keys to drama-free relationships.
AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)
With powerful Pluto now transiting through your sign, old rules have flown out the window. Change, elimination and transformation are the new norms in your life. So businesses need to innovate, communities need to be creative and people need to pivot.
6. How many moons does Mercury have?
7. Which singer’s real name is James Newell Osterberg Jr.?
8. What was the name of the first bank to open in Australia?
9. Who directed Fight Club (1999)?
10. What is diegesis?
CANCER (JUN 22-JUL 23)
This week could be confusing so slow down and get your bearings before you proceed. Aim to get the balance right between socialising with other people and spending quality time on your own. Shine a spotlight on your aspirations for the future.
SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)
This week retrograde Mercury could confuse communication in romantic and platonic relationships. So be careful you’re not viewing people through ridiculously rose-coloured glasses. If you’re attached, are you and your partner on the same page?
PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)
Saturn (in your sign) forms a positive aspect with the sun on Tuesday, so it’s a good time to plan projects and communicate confidently. But Mercury is retrograde, so pace yourself and – if in doubt – don’t hesitate to double-check facts and figures.

A hold on
Strengthening market conditions and improved buyer confidence has resulted in the auction clearance rate increasing to be the highest level since May last year, according to the latest Apollo Auctions Auction Report.
Apollo Auctions Director Justin Nickerson says, following on from an improved rate in February, March saw the auction clearance rate increase to 65.1 per cent – up from 60.4 per cent the month before.
“This is the second-best auction clearance rate we have recorded since starting this monthly report in May last year and is another sign that market conditions are far more favourable than just a few months ago,” Mr Nickerson says.
“We are also seeing higher numbers of attendees at auction – up to an average of 36.3 in March – as well as a significant jump in active bidders from 48.9 per cent in February to 55 per cent in March.”
“With the latest CoreLogic home value index showing national property
prices increasing by 0.6 per cent in March, as well as the continued low supply of listings for sale and rent, and with significant overseas migration under way, the market metrics are positive for both sellers and buyers at present.”
Mr Nickerson says Southeast Queensland is continuing to produce excellent results.
Director of Ray White Maroochydore Dan Sowden says the halt on rate rises will help to boost buyer confidence.
“After 10 consecutive rate rises, it’s great to see that rates were left on hold this month from the RBA,” he says.
“That’s going to give buyers and
mortgage holders considerable confidence with the cash rate now sitting at 3.6 per cent, which in real terms means most borrowers are paying in the early 5 per cent range.”
Mr Sowden says while auction volumes have fallen by around 27 per cent quarter on quarter, clearance rates are up due to a reduction in stock overall, which has resulted in increased buyer competition.
“We had some great numbers during the first quarter,” he says.
“Clearance rates of 52 per cent and success rates of 78 per cent remain well above industry averages.
“With the reduction in stock, buyer competition increased to an average of 3.2 bidders per auction and buyers paying over 5.5 per cent more on auction day than prior.”
And while the average time on market has increased, Mr Sowden says buyer demand remains high, with auctions generating twice the average buyer enquiry.
“The average time on market did extend to 45 days as opposed to 37,
however this can be accounted for as some properties were launched in the week leading into Christmas 2022 and therefore remained on the market slightly longer over the Christmas period,” he says.
“The good news is there is still plenty of depth in the buying market.”

SELL successfully
Since 2012, the Define team has sold a staggering $500 million worth of Sunshine Coast property. Their secret?
It’s a combined approach of understanding the market, understanding the importance of creating competition, and avoiding market segmentation, according to principal Ross Cattle.
“We don’t just focus on one segment of the market, we have sold properties ranging in price from $7 million, down to properties priced at $380,000. This gives us a unique perspective on the entire Sunshine Coast market – not just a small section, but the market in its entirety.
“Our team welcomes and invests time and interest in properties of all types – units and apartments; older homes, multimillion-dollar homes, acreage, commercial. We have expertise and understanding across all avenues.
“We also develop well thought-out successful campaigns for our sellers that don’t focus on the fastest sale time, but on the greatest sale price. We do this by creating healthy competition in the marketplace through various advertising and marketing platforms that are proven to work in a combined approach.”
SELLING WITH DEFINE PROPERTY AGENTS
Ross says:
“I have very strong feelings about the Sunshine Coast market and its future.
“I believe it’s now one of the safest bets in real estate in the country.
“My advice to buyers is to get in the market and stay in the market.
“Always buy and sell in the same market as it’s the safest way not to lose.
“If you’re a seller and want to sell, the best time is when you’re ready – don’t wait for the ‘right market’. You’ll never pick the best time to sell, the best time is when you’re ready.
“The most important part of selling is how you sell and who you choose to market your property.
“For sellers, the aim is to sell in the strongest timeframe – which is typically around
The story of Define
17 years & counting...
Principal Ross Cattle had a vision – to define himself as a market leader in the real estate industry. This motivation to shape a real estate office on the Sunshine Coast that excels at every level has been achieved with the establishment of Define Property Agents.
Define Property’s firm commitment to professionalism and attention to detail with uncompromised strategic marketing, genuine client service, superior sales and negotiation skills guarantees a successful outcome for buyers and sellers at any price level. The main focus of Define Property Agents is selling and managing residential property with a range of
three to four weeks. To do that, you have to reach every single buyer that could possibly want to buy your home.
“Don’t concern yourself with saving on marketing costs. Unfortunately, lots of vendors, some agents as well, don’t realise how detrimental focusing on this is to the sale price you can achieve.
“The more people who see your property
In terms of the market itself, Ross believes it is going to stabilise and return to a more traditional style.
“In the past 31 years of living between Maroochydore and Mooloolaba, I have never witnessed a boom like the one we had over the past two years,” he says.
“A small drop in the average sale price means prices will still sit around 40 per cent higher than in 2019. In a traditional market, we still see growth of four to eight per cent.
“At the end of the day, long term, the local property market is going to be based on this unique and amazing location. For me, and many others, the Sunshine Coast is the best place in the world for families to live.”
“For our team, it’s about the journey that we embark on with our clients. People are looking for authentic relationships that provide great outcomes. If you’re always working with the mindset of delivering a good outcome for your client and are committed to that, you will build a reputation that becomes a business of attraction and people will gravitate to you.
“We pride ourselves on being authentic and fostering real relationships with our buyers and sellers.”
