W H AT ’ S There’s loads to explore and things to do on the Sunshine Coast. Here are a few events to pop in your diary.
ABBALIVE are Australia’s number one ABBA production. The international line-up of some of the world’s finest musicians and entertainers immaculately reproduce every magical note, fabulous harmony, stunning costume, unforgettable dance move, and even mannerisms of ABBA to bring you the most authentic ABBA production available on the market today. Their constant dedication and passion for the music continues to set the precedent for ABBA shows all over the globe. ABBALIVE is on Friday November 27 at The Event Centre Caloundra at 7.30pm. Tickets cost $50 and are available via theeventscentre.com.au.

Nov 20
Coming off a sold out show in Brisbane, The Fins are back for their final show of 2020 with support from Flooded Gum. The Fins have been recording relentlessly in the studio and are ready to showcase some brand new material. When experiencing The Fins, expect to feel elements from artists such as David Bowie, Queen, Arctic Monkeys and Nick Cave. The Fins are on Friday November 20 at Solbar Maroochydore from 6pm. Tickets cost $16, visit oztix.com.au.
Nov 20 Jeff Martin is proud to bring The Songs of Led Zeppelin to the Sunshine Coast, featuring personal and fan favourites from the legendary group. Mr Martin will perform solo renditions of Led Zeppelin classics over two acoustic sets using a collection of Jeff’s rarest instruments. He can’t wait to get back to Eumundi and play these timeless songs for you. This event has limited capacity to comply with COVID-safe regulations and is not to be missed for any Led Zeppelin fan. Seating is non-allocated, so it’s first come, first served. Jeff Martin’s Songs of Led Zeppelin is on Friday November 20 at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi at 7pm. Tickets cost $60, visit imperailhoteleumundi.com.au.
Jaguar Jonze is back on tour after what has been a hell of a year. In 2020, she performed on Eurovision, sold out her first national headline tour and then headed to her first US tour, which didn’t quite go to plan and dramatically altered her year. Ms Jonze and the band were then stuck in lockdown in New York but eventually found flights back home to Australia, where she then tested positive for COVID-19. Spending 40 days in hospital, she released her debut EP Diamonds & Liquid Gold in the back of an ambulance. After a gruelling year of recovery, Ms Jonze is back with her first single DEADALIVE, which she recorded while under hospital care. She’s playing on Saturday November 14 at Solbar Maroochydore at 8pm. Tickets cost $23 at oztix.com.au.
Nov 21 It’s time for the next live music event at Venue114. Well-known DJ Jesswah will mix it up and spin the first set, followed by The Dawn Light, Dear Doonan and headline act Band of Frequencies (pictured). Band of Frequencies is one of Australia’s premier coastal roots bands and since 2005 the popular group has been constantly throwing their influences into the creative fires to see what melts, what explodes and what merges. Venue114 presents Live@114 Saturday November 21 at Bokarina. Doors open at 7pm, tickets cost $25. To purchase visit venue114.com.au.

FAST FACTS
Looking back.
Did you know?
Early residents
You burn more calories eating celery than it contains (therefore more you eat the thinner you become).
Do you remember? The first slot machine was developed in the United States of America by Charles Fey. It was a very simple game called the Liberty Bell and was an instant hit. In the early 1900s the first slot machines appeared on Australian shores. While they were illegal, they were popular with gamblers.
67,591 Maurice Pearl Evans (1895-1981) was among the earliest residents and business owners in Cotton Tree. One of 10 children, he and his family came to the Maroochy River area in 1909 and built a home in Bli Bli. Mr Evans’ father operated a Maroochy River boat business carrying passengers, goods and mail. Mr Evans married Maude Elizabeth Perren in 1920 and took over his family’s Maroochy River farm. In 1922, the Evans family moved to Cotton Tree where they opened a general store near the corner of King Street. In 1923, they bought a nearby building and relocated their business to the new corner site. They extended the premises to include Jazzland, a popular dance and picture hall.
Quote of the week. “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” – Benjamin Franklin
BY THE NUMBERS
1959 Dalai Lama flees Tibet and is granted political asylum in India.
George Gershwin’s jazz standard Summertime is the most recorded song, with a staggering 67,591 recorded versions in existence as of June 1, 2017. This is according to ‘The Summertime Connection’, a group of fans from around the world with a shared passion for the aria, written by Gershwin in 1933 to 1934 for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess. As of the same date, the group had collected 57,316 full recordings of Summertime. The song has been recorded by the likes of Sam Cooke, Fun Boy Three, Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin, Al Martino and Billy Stewart.

COVER STORY
Bright future for local arts scene Our local arts and culture scene is set to flourish following the launch of the Sunshine Coast Art’s Foundation’s GIFTED! program last week at Venue 114. WORDS: Gail Forrer.
L
et the music play, the artists draw, and the actors perform and may there be a big and appreciative audience to applaud. After all, as local businessman and arts aficionado Ferre De Deyne quoted at the launch of Sunshine Coast Arts Foundation (SCAF) GIFTED! program, “A community without culture is a community without soul.” If that truly is the case, after a COVID-induced dearth of entertainment, the Coast’s soul is not only alive and well, it is significantly enriched from last Friday’s events. At Kawana’s Venue 114, Mr De Deyne became the inaugural donor to the GIFTED! program. In line with SCAF’s 20-year arts plan, the program provides a body for philanthropic investment aimed at supporting the growth of the arts on the Sunshine Coast. Along with the launch of the GIFTED! program, the evening revealed the findings of a jointly commissioned report by the Sunshine Coast Council and SCAF. The report focuses on the Sunshine Coast arts and cultural audience, including the identification of their likes and

preferences, what it takes to involve and extend audiences and how to better support local talent. At the same time, just a few blocks away, the much-anticipated opening of the NightQuarter forged ahead and welcomed big crowds to an enormous, vibrant, purpose-built playground for live entertainment, street food, markets, performance and visual arts.
Ms Christoe says. They had originally developed the NightQuarter at Helensvale on the Gold Coast, but rent rises forced their closure. Their popularity was witnessed by a school student who garnered 30,000 signatures on a petition which led to 300,000 emails seeking a change of conditions so the NightQuarter would stay. Happily, for the Sunshine Coast,
“A comunity without culture is a community without soul” Ferre De Deyne
The entrepreneurs behind the NightQuarter Michelle Christoe and Ian Van der Woude founded the concept on the European idea of a family-centric, outdoor, evening entertainment centre. “The Coast’s great climate makes this the perfect place to get outdoors in the evening and enjoy some entertainment,”
they decided to look for a new space. Eventually their enquiries culminated in a relocation to the Birtinya precinct, where their development concept was met with a warm reception from Sunshine Coast Council. Ms Christoe says the opening was a great success with a sell-out crowd
according to COVID-restricted numbers. “The audience were treated with local musicians such as Doolie, Sametime and Toxic Fox and a special elevated appearance from Sarah McLeod. “NightQuarter also hosted the University of Sunshine Coast’s Creative Industry’s Reconnect Festival featuring more than 30 buskers, slam poetry, a book launch, photography exhibits and Queensland’s first digital gallery choreographed alongside a sound wall installation.” As always, the Sunshine Coast hinterland fulfilled its reputation as a leading creative area. At Spicers Tamarind Retreat Maleny, part of the 18-acre property was given over to the annual Sculpture on the Edge exhibition, which is running until November 15. (Check out this week’s profile on page 20 to read about this year’s winning artist). Chair of SCAF, Professor Jennifer Radbourne, says the Coast boasts significant arts resources, including: The Events Centre, the Caloundra Regional Gallery and galleries across the region, talented artists, festivals and events such as the Horizon Festival, spaces for artists to create and work, an inspiring myweeklypreview.com.au

COVER STORY
SUNSHINE COAST AUDIENCE AND MARKET REPORT: KEY FINDINGS
Claudia Di Blasi, Jennifer Radbourne, Janine Symons, Celestine Doyle and Nina Hansen at the launch of the GIFTED! program at Venue 114 landscape from the coast to the mountains, a great lifestyle, and a very supportive local government. Of course, it is these people and places that have been severely impacted by COVID. In order to stay alive, and in some cases flourish, event organisers have pivoted and discovered new ways of presentation. For instance, this year the Horizon Festival transitioned to online performances. Held since 2016, the 10-day arts festival, developed by Sunshine Coast Council encourages community participation and opportunities for the local arts sector. During COVID, rather, than close shop, the planned artists were employed and performed in a virtual presentation – with positive results. “Our audience increased from 30,000 to 100,000,” says Zoe Graham, acting director of the Horizon Festival. Horizon Festival, supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is now calling for submissions from established Sunshine Coast-based artists to present new or existing works as part of Homegrown 2021. Through Homegrown, organisers are seeking contemporary live performances for the 2021 festival – details can be
found online. However, while we are slowly emerging from the COVID lockdown, Professor Radbourne says there have been dire ramifications for people working within creative industries and there is good reason to support, maintain and improve the arts. Ms Radbourne says, “The arts are part of life. They build our identity and connectedness. They particularly build community wellbeing and resilience. In times of crisis, we often turn to the arts for solace, stimulation and enjoyment.” She says this why SCAF has decided to facilitate professional development for arts companies and artists across the region to build philanthropic, fundraising and sponsorship skills and strategies for a stronger future for the arts. “We will work with Creative Partnerships Australia to offer one-onone, tailored coaching sessions to address organisations’ specific challenges and opportunities to develop new and creative income streams,” she says. The research undertaken by SCAF and the Council is aimed at providing an innovative strategy to develop audiences into the future.
The BIG Queenslander
Pie of Origin
My Weekly Preview asked some locals how they felt about the Coast’s arts and cultural scene and if they would like see more events closer to home.
Survey participants were asked to rate the importance of various activities in their personal life on a scale from ‘not important’ to ‘very important’. A majority rated ‘spending time with family (79%) and outdoor activities 71% as very important.
Ally Wallace “I’ve just enjoyed the Qld Ballet at Caloundra, but I would like to see more of the smaller things [rather than the big names] in visual arts and dance.”
Around two-thirds (61%) rated arts and culture as ‘very important’ and a similar proportion (60%) rated socialising with friends this way.
Jenny Glodek “As the Coast grows, we need more variety and different types of cultural experiences to provide for the people coming here.”
Survey participants were also asked to share the extent to which they personally agreed with several statements related to arts and culture. The majority (93%) said they ‘agree’ or ‘strongly agree’ that children should be exposed to a variety of cultural experiences. Many also agreed that arts and culture make for a more meaningful life.
$5 will be donated to the Qld Children’s Hospital.
Sophie Drakopoulos “I’m really excited to see the opening of NIghtQuarter, it adds to what we have and can be a focal point for the Coast.”

PROFILE
Living life on the edge Maleny artist Chris McKenzie has won first prize at Sculpture on the Edge, an annual exhibition currently showing at Spicers Tamarind, Maleny. My Weekly Preview caught up with the artist, a fascinating man who spreads charm and charisma wherever he travels. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.
C
hris McKenzie is working on a project at John Williamson’s house when we speak. THE John Williamson, Australian music legend. He has just won the 2020 Sculpture on the Edge competition at Spicers Tamarind in Maleny, presented by Arts Connect, and he’s over the moon. He’s talking a million miles an hour and is thrilled his chosen medium – basalt – has been recognised for the extraordinary material it is. His winning art piece, Basalt Beauty 3, is one of a series of stone works by the Maleny artist, who sources basalt locally and polishes it to create a thing of beauty. “Basalt is ubiquitous,” he says. “It’s everywhere. It’s very challenging to work for two main reasons. It is extremely hard in a density sense and it is also extremely challenging to work because it has fractures all through it. It’s difficult because of its nature, it breaks in all directions. “With the Basalt Beauty series, I am trying not to do too much. I want to use the natural material, but do as little as possible to it. Just polish the rock, enhance it just a

Chris McKenzie’s Basalt Beauty 3, winner of Sculpture on the Edge 2020 little bit so people can see how beautiful it is. It’s something they take for granted. “The message behind the Basalt Beauty series is there is beauty everywhere around us,” he says. “We overlook it. We don’t look deeply enough. As an artist, I can polish a stone and people go, ‘wow, I didn’t realise that stone looked like that’. The message is for our environment, ourselves and our relationships – if we can put a bit more effort into them, they can shine. There is inherent beauty in everything if we just pay attention to it.” A self-described boy from the bush, Mr McKenzie is originally from Roma and has lived on the Sunshine Coast for 10 years, making Maleny his home three years ago. He’s taught art at Maleny State High School for 10 years, where he’s well-liked among the student cohort. He’s also a fine sportsman, having been a boxer for many years. “I’m good at three things,” he says. “I’m good at sport, art and teaching. Sport is my body stuff. I’m a good teacher – that’s my head stuff. My art is my heart stuff, my passion. I like to bring those three things
together. That’s why sculpting suits me.” Mr McKenzie has previously worked in wood, sandstone, marble and granite, and has only recently come to work with basalt. Considering the cost of transporting such large, heavy artworks to and from exhibitions, he doesn’t enter many. “I mainly focus on commissions because sending work in to competitions usually costs me a lot of money,” he says. “I can be out of pocket $2000 to $5000 with the freight.” Mr McKenzie usually takes the six-week school holiday period over summer to create large works, but next year he’s taking a year off to try something new. “I’m initiating an old program that the Renaissance masters used to use and it’s called a patron model,” he says. “I do sculptures for people for free. I design it for them – once upon a time for me to design a project would cost $3000 because it takes me a lot of time. With this model, the patron has to take care of me. They pay for my living expenses, they have to house me – whether in a caravan, a castle or a cave – they pay my expenses and get a bill from
the entire year.” Mr McKenzie’s patron model will take him to Sydney, Currumbin, Charleville and back to Maleny. While he’s wandered and roamed for much of his life, he says he’s found his home in Maleny and is content to stay there for the foreseeable future. “I love living in Maleny,” he says. “You drive down the street and wave to people, there’s a communal aspect, the people are just really lovely – you have rural people, hippies, musicians, writers, academics – it’s a very diverse, rich, cultural place to live. “I work at Maleny Dairies as an artist in residence and here’s the key message I like to give to kids,” he says. “People ask me why I do what I do. There are different reasons. One is, I get praise for it, but that’s not the reason I do it. A second reason is I get publicity and monetary reward. I can win prizes like I just have with Sculpture on the Edge. But that’s not the reason I do it. The crucial reason I do it, when I combine my head, my body and my heart, when I combine those three things to create something, I give myself joy. It’s not pleasure, it’s joy. It’s a wonderful feeling.”
Sculpture on the Edge is on at Spicers Tamarind until November 15. Open daily 9am to 4pm.

TECHNOLOGY
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BODY TRACKING APP OFFERS PERSONALISED TRAINING
A fitness app developed by Monash University alumni is turning smartphones into personal trainers that correct form and offer feedback in real time during a workout. Fitcus, which recently launched on the Apple App Store, uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology and a smartphone camera to analyse movement and ensure the correct exercise technique is being used. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there
has been an increase in the number of people working out at home or alone, which has also led to an increase in soft tissue injuries. Fitcus aims to prevent injuries incurred from incorrect workout techniques and educates users to improve their overall performance. Joseph Roccisano is a Monash Faculty of Information Technology alumnus and co-founder of Fitcus, and he says his app is different from others currently in the market. “With Fitcus you can work out anytime, anywhere and receive personalised feedback based on your movements,” he says. “Using advanced AI technology and motion-tracking software, Fitcus detects a person’s joints, posture and movement. It then provides customised feedback based on the correct way to perform a particular exercise. This real-time feedback is designed to help users get fitter, faster and stay injury free. “Consider you’re doing squats and

your chest comes too far forward, putting strain on your lower back. Fitcus picks up on this incorrect posture alignment and will notify you straight away. The app will also provide you with audio cues on how to correct each movement and then notify you when you’re in the correct position.” The app received more than 500 downloads in the first week of launching and has more than 3000 downloads. Fitcus was one of 10 teams selected from 135 applications for the 2020 Monash Generator Accelerator Program. The eight-week program is for Monash University innovators, entrepreneurs and change-makers looking to kick-start and rapidly progress their start-ups. Community manager of The Monash Generator Jaala Alex says the program has helped many innovators and entrepreneurs unlock their talents. “We aim to help individuals uncover their entrepreneurial talent and turn their ideas into reality.” – AAP
POETRY UNBOUND – ON BEING Poet and theologian Pádraig O’Tuama presents the podcast Poetry Unbound. Poetry Unbound features interviews with poets, recorded readings with poets and discussions about poetry’s contribution to the common good. The podcast offers the listener the chance to look at the world through the eyes of a poet. The readings are short and unhurried, contemplative and energising. It is wonderful to have poetry read to you, but the wise and informative interpretations by Mr O’Tuama – who is an internationally recognised Irish poet and the staff poet and theologian at The On Being Project – add a new dimension to the experience. On Being features poets from across the planet and was created because poetry speaks to the way we could be. Poetry doesn’t have a single purpose, but it might help us live with purpose.
HEALTHSCOPE SELECTS ADOREBOARD TO IMPROVE PATIENT EXPERIENCE Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to understand patients' emotions to help detect breaches in COVID-19 across 43 Healthscope Hospitals in Australia with the deployment of emotion AI technology Adoreboard. As hospitals wrestle with the challenge of COVID-19, Healthscope – which is a leading private healthcare provider – has turned to emotion AI platform Adoreboard to understand patient emotions. Insights by Healthscope using Adoreboard shows that apprehension spiked by 33 per cent during the lockdown period as patients came to terms with the
pandemic, with 12.5 per cent of all COVID-19-related comments expressed concerns around social distancing in areas such as hospital lifts. It also pinpointed the need for multi-language signage with this issue alone driving patient sadness by 30 per

cent. In response, Healthscope’s patient experience and communications team rolled out innovative signage on social distancing instructions on thousands of meal trays across all hospitals with social distancing messaging for patients in multiple languages. A week after implementing the modifications, staff saw the positive changes in the patient feedback through the AI technology.

1000 SAVE OUR TURTLES READY, SET, GO TO SPORTS SCHOLARSHIPS Top student athletes are invited to apply for a new elite athlete program at Matthew Flinders Anglican College for 2021. The Flinders Elite Athlete Program provides specialised services, mentoring support and tailored workshops for students to enable them to achieve across their sporting pursuits and academic life. “We recognise that exceptional student athletes are often weighed down by the pressure of juggling the competing demands of sport, study and social life for wellbeing,” principal Stuart Meade says. “We don’t want any student to have to choose between focusing on their sport or their academics during these vital years of schooling to Year 12 graduation.” Sports may include AFL, athletics, baseball, basketball, cricket, cross country, golf, hockey, netball, rowing, rugby league, rugby union, sailing, soccer, softball, squash, surfing, swimming, tennis, touch football, triathlon, volleyball and water polo.
It is turtle nesting season and residents are being asked to report turtle tracks, new nests and emerging hatchlings to Sunshine Coast Council’s Turtle Care hotline or Coolum and North Shore Coast Care. Turtle nesting season begins in November and continues until March. Last season, 186 registered and specially trained volunteers donated more than 8102 hours looking after 50 nests between North Bribie Island and Point Cartwright. Residents are encouraged to switch off outside lights from 8pm as light pollution is distracting for turtles and hatchlings. For sightings on the southern end of the coast call 0437 559 067 and for sightings from Mooloolaba north call Coolum and North Shore Coast Care on 0403 370 157.
Sunshine Coast residents will have a chance to voice their opinion on council service delivery through a community wide satisfaction survey. Residents and ratepayers can have their say on a range of subject matters, including parks and recreational facilities, local roads and pathways, libraries, pest management and the maintenance of our natural environment. The consultation will involve 1000 phone surveys with a random selection of residents across the region. The community survey is open until December 4. Visit: haveyoursay.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.

1.5 BILLION USC STUDENT’S $400K GRANT
‘SHE’LL BE RIGHT, WON’T SAVE YOUR LIFE’ Former Queensland Maroons greats Wally Lewis, Kevin Walters, Gorden Tallis and Trevor Gillmeister are lending their voice to tackle complacency in the surf, starring in Surf Life Saving Queensland’s new summer safety campaign. SLSQ is partnering with Queensland Rugby League to deliver the vital beach safety message ‘She’ll be right, won’t save your life’. The campaign, specifically targeted to men, strongly encourages people to always swim between the red and yellow flags, always swim with a friend, never drink and swim and to be sun safe at the beach. ‘She’ll be right, won’t save your life’, speaks to the complacency many Australians have when they visit the beach, with some deciding not to swim between the flags. In the 2019/20 season, 1819 Australians were rescued while swimming outside the flags at Queensland beaches. Tragically, 11 people lost their lives, five of those were men over the age of 50.

A researcher from the University of the Sunshine Coast helping improve the sustainability of fisheries worldwide has been awarded a government grant worth $421,000 over three years. Quantitative marine ecologist Dr Kylie Scales (pictured) is the recipient of a prestigious Discovery Early Career Researcher Award, which will allow her to focus full-time on her research. Dr Scales says her project will compare data to identify overlap between longline fisheries and habitats of protected marine species to guide decision-making in Australia’s eastern waters and globally. “We need to figure out solutions to our marine biodiversity crisis and we have an incredible opportunity to do that now,” she says.
Local business leaders recently gathered to learn how to access the federal government’s $1.5 billion Modern Manufacturing Strategy. Around 50 businesses attended the Fisher Manufacturing Forum, hearing from AusIndustry representatives about what the new strategy means for local businesses. Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace says he hopes the forum will help kick-start the growth of high-tech manufacturing on the Coast and create jobs. The strategy provides co-funding for research and development projects, commercialisation of existing ideas, and helping businesses integrate into existing domestic and international supply chains.

SAFE PLACES FOR WOMEN ESCAPING VIOLENCE A government grant will go towards providing emergency housing for families on the Sunshine Coast
A
dditional safe places for women and children escaping domestic and family violence will be available on the Sunshine Coast following a $2.6 million Morrison Government Safe Places grant announced
for Coast2Bay Housing Group. Assistant Minister for Community Housing, Homelessness and Community Services, Luke Howarth joined Sunshine Coast Federal MPs Ted O’Brien and Andrew Wallace to congratulate
Coast2Bay. Assistant Minister Howarth said the funding would make a very real difference to Queensland women and children. “The grant will allow Coast2Bay to provide additional safe places for around 48 women and children each year experiencing violence,� assistant Minister Howarth says. “Through the Safe Places grant, the Government is helping ensure emergency accommodation is available and delivered to vulnerable women and children.� Federal member for Fairfax, Ted O’Brien, says keeping women and children safe is a priority. “There are women and children living in fear in their own homes,� Mr O’Brien says. “When women make the very difficult decision to leave their home it is vital that they have somewhere safe to go.� Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace also welcomed the grant funding. “Last year I hosted the assistant Minister for a Homelessness roundtable and we heard about the demand for emergency accommodation across the Sunshine Coast. Coast2Bay is helping fill this need and support vulnerable women and children,� Mr Wallace says.
NEW GUIDE TO MAKE IT EASIER TO FIND MONEY Now it’s a whole lot easier to navigate the claims process through the Public Trustee’s unclaimed money portal due to the launch of an easy-to-use, online, interactive guide. Acting Public Trustee of Queensland and CEO Samay Zhouand said the Public Trustee currently has over 1.4 million individual entries listed on its online database, making up more than $160 million in unclaimed money. “With over 130 claims received each month from people searching for unclaimed money through the Public Trustee’s website, we want to make it as easy as possible to unite people with their forgotten funds,� Mr Zhouand says. The new interactive guide is the latest initiative from the Public Trustee’.

FROM THE MAYOR This week is NAIDOC Week. The NAIDOC Week theme this year is Always Was, Always Will Be. It’s a theme that recognises that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for more than 65,000 years. That’s an unparalleled spiritual and cultural connection to country that dates back thousands of generations. The very first footprints on the Sunshine Coast were those belonging to First Nations peoples. Within the boundary of our Sunshine Coast Council area, the country of the Jinibara peoples is generally the southern hinterland and the Kabi Kabi peoples are the traditional custodians of the coastal plains and the northern hinterland. Their culture, heritage and teachings add considerably to the rich tapestry of our community and will do so for generations to come. Our Sunshine Coast Libraries have a range of First Nations resources online and I encourage our community to visit to explore these resources.

READY TO SOAR Practical program helps migrants find jobs on the Coast.
T
wenty-eight migrants to the Coast have put their new job-ready skills into action at Sunshine Coast Council’s Migrant Work Ready program graduation and employer networking event held last week in Mooloolaba. It comes after participants completed the eight-week course offering practical tips from professionals, community organisations and business owners on how to prepare for the local job market. Sunshine Coast Multicultural Advisory Group member Peppi Bueti says recent migrants to the region often faced many challenges in finding jobs. “To see how much of a difference this program makes to these migrants in just a few short months is incredible.” A total of 75 graduates have completed the program since its inception. Tina Tsvetanova, 39, migrated from Bulgaria to Alexandra Headland last year with her husband Mike. Since arriving, the family has expanded with the birth of their son Martin and in more good news Ms Tsvetanova recently received a job offer in her field after completing the Migrant Work Ready program.
Sunshine Coast Multicultural Advisory Group member Peppi Bueti, Migrant Work Ready program graduate Ms Tina Tsvetanova and Mayor Mark Jamieson “I was having a hard time finding a job in architecture so I decided to join this program as I felt it would be useful,” Ms Tsvetanova says. “It was great for networking and connecting with local people from the business community. We also did some practical work from time to time, such as interviewing and CV writing.” The program was delivered by Sunshine Coast Council, Nambour Community Centre, Maroochydore Chamber of Commerce, TAFE Queensland, Volunteering Sunshine Coast and Sunshine Coast Chamber Alliance Business Mentor Program.
URSULA YOVICH BEGINS NAIDOC WEEK LECTURE SERIES AT NIDA Award-winning storyteller and First Nations woman Ursula Yovich has been selected, as “an extraordinarily compelling force” and “an incredible artist”, to deliver the inaugural NAIDOC Week Lecture at NIDA on November 12 . This will be livestreamed online for the public. Lauded for her work as an actor, playwright, singer and songwriter, Ms Yovich grew up in Darwin and Maningrida. Her work in Barbara and the Camp Dogs, which she co-wrote with Alana Valentine and starred in, was described as “[ripping] open a chasm of pain”, “plumbing gutwrenching truths” and “compelling empathy” (Canberra Times). Ms Yovich’s NAIDOC Week lecture is the first in a series that is planned to be at least a decade-long commitment, with a new, original commissioned lecture presented each year by a First Nations leader in the arts and culture sector. About her lecture, Ms Yovich says, “I am looking forward to discussing the cultural change that is needed in our industry to embrace diversity and increase inclusion in the arts. And it starts here in this institution.” NIDA CEO Liz Hughes says, ‘I’m
incredibly excited about launching this series. We really want to highlight important First Nations voices in the Australian cultural sector and ensure that they are heard loudly. “I’m delighted that Ursula Yovich, an incredible artist, will be the inaugural speaker of the NAIDOC Week Lecture Series at NIDA. Across her body of work, it is immediately apparent what an important voice she is. ‘Her authority, her integrity, her knowledge and her magnetic presence make her an extraordinarily compelling force – whether on stage, screen, through her writing, or any other medium. I encourage everyone to join us online to hear the very first NAIDOC Week Lecture.” Visit nida.edu.au.

EVERY BEER HAS A STORY Craft, skills, heritage and diversity are some of the ingredients that have helped create a great brew for this entrepreneur.
A
dam Tomlinson’s dream started in December 2008 during a craft brewery tour in the US and, 12 years later, has come to fruition with the opening of Stalwart Brewing Company at Nambour. The craft brewery, based at the heritage-listed Club Hotel on Currie
Street, provides a high-quality range of ales, two of which draw on Mr Tomlinson’s Navajo and Kabi Kabi heritage. He uses Sunshine Coast hinterland water, fresh grain, hops and yeast, and no preservatives or additives. “I was so excited to move in here at the start of 2020, but then COVID came, so I
was left with a pub with no beer,� he says. But despite many challenges, he achieved his business vision on July 18. Stalwart’s core range of beers reflects Mr Tomlinson’s diverse ancestry: The Sacred Chief honours his great-great-greatgrandfather, a Navajo from America’s mid-west who immigrated to Australia in the 1800s during the Gympie gold rush. His second commercial release, The Dreamtime Warrior, is a golden ale in honour of his great-grandmother, who was a Kabi Kabi woman from the Sunshine Coast. “A brew pub is about bringing the community together, and having a beer over a great story,� Mr Tomlinson says. He says Sunshine Coast Council helped by identifying suitable brewery sites and provided pre-lodgement planning advice. “Council also expedited approvals for plumbing and planning, having suggested the Nambour Entertainment precinct as suitable for this development, and that ensured a swift approval process at minimal cost,� he says. “I was also invited to participate in a craft breweries and distilleries industry forum hosted by council to better understand the needs of this growing industry cluster and to consider this in regard to future iterations of the planning scheme.� His success makes him the perfect
candidate for the Local Business Champion series. Economic development portfolio councillor Terry Landsberg says the series was developed in collaboration with the Economic Resurgence Taskforce to inspire business confidence, a key theme of the region’s Economic Resurgence Plan. “Council is working with chambers of commerce, industry and the local business community to seek out and promote these great local stories,� Cr Landsberg says. “I encourage the entire community to get behind these Local Business Champions and share their stories far and wide. If we all eat, shop and support local, our region will emerge stronger and more resilient as the economy recovers.�
Adam Tomlinson’s advice to new businesses and start-ups is to: • Make sure you have a clear plan and vision. • Understand the marketplace you’re in and how you should market your business. • Have clear consultations with the council and know the requirements. • Engage with local community groups and organisations.

INCOME IN A LOW INCOME WORLD Trying to maintain income levels as interest rates have fallen has become an acute problem for many investors. Term deposit rates now don’t even offset the rate of inflation. It’s no surprise that across asset classes, income returns are diminishing as interest rates are rebased lower, but the opportunity cost of sitting in cash is increasing, with real deposit rates now negative. That is, inflation is now above the interest earned on a term deposit. The last time this happened was during the 2008–09 global financial crisis. Currently, the average one-year term deposit rate is 0.75 per cent, compared with inflation running at 1.2 per cent. This is unlikely to change any time soon. This backdrop of lower-for-longer
interest rates and cash no longer preserving value means investors are being compelled to look at other ways to enhance their returns. Inevitably, it requires assuming more risk (both upside and downside). For example, 18 months ago, a term deposit would have earned two per cent. To replace that level of income today would require investors to move into corporate credit and hybrid assets, at least. We believe a good option is to have a diversified portfolio of government bonds and corporate credit, and active management of a portfolio to either maximise returns or minimise risk. One such option is the Janus Henderson Tactical Income Fund, which can invest in a range of fixed income asset classes. The fund is actively managed, and since its inception in 2009 has only had seven months where the return has been negative. Moving up the risk curve slightly, hybrid securities have some features of debt and equity. They rank lower in the capital structure – generally just above ordinary shares, but below secured debt. This means their income and value can fluctuate more than debt, but typically less than equities. An average major bank hybrid should be able to offer a gross running yield (including franking) of 3.9 per cent per annum, while non-major banks are on approximately 4.2 per cent.
At the higher risk end of the scale, shares are mainly a growth, rather than income, investment. However, even equities are now presenting a more attractive income proposition than usual. The average dividend yield on the S&P/ASX 200 is currently around 3.5 per cent (4.4 per cent assuming 60 per cent franking), which is almost three percentage points higher than the one-year term deposit rate. To achieve a yield above the market average, one could increase weightings to higher yielding sectors such as financials, utilities, and property trusts. For example, a portfolio of higher dividend yielding equities can easily average over a 6 per
cent yield. Alternatively, there are exchange traded funds, which invest in a portfolio of equities that provide enhanced dividend yields. The more actively managed ETFs, or those with higher turnover in the portfolio, will have higher MERs. In summary there are many options, but the key is to take advice.

YOUR
VOICE THINGS NEVER FORGOTTEN Looking at My Weekly Preview Issue 625, it brought back memories from the Great Depression. I was born December 28, 1926, and I do remember the hard times. I still remember, when I was about nine or 10 years old, a police detective coming to our door asking for me. He said that I had been on the train cutting the tarpaulin covering the wool bales at Dudley Hill, railway depot in Bradford. All we used to do was slide down the tarpaulin. When I denied cutting the tarpaulins, he said: “Well I am taking you to Bradford Town Hall, Bradford Police Headquarters. So, I asked my mother to get my coat and said that I might get something to eat there. Then my mother told the detective nobody had had anything to eat in this house for two days, because there was no money to buy anything. Tears welled up in the detective’s eyes and he said: “Life is a bugger, love.” He put his hand in his trouser pocket and pulled out a shilling and said: “Get him something to eat love,” and left. It is something that never leaves you, the fear of being in that situation again. F Worsman, Buderim

AND SO, TO NOVEMBER… Congratulations! My Weekly Preview is certainly growing, a bumper Issue 627, articles, fabulous features, fashion, real estate updates, local news, art exhibitions, events and more, including readers’ photos and I’m sure you’ve been inundated with many shots of the storm activity on Saturday night – wild! Most Halloween trick or treaters stayed home, our blue moon was hidden ‘til storms passed. Whatever our political persuasion, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk deserves to be congratulated on being re-elected for a third term. As a New Zealand-born Australian, proud to call both beautiful countries home (but looking forward to being able to travel transTasman without quarantine restrictions soon), I didn’t mind the Bledisloe Cup outcome… what a way to farewell October: and so to November Ann, Alexandra Headland

At IFYS Foster Care we know that belonging is fundamental to the human experience and we all have an essential need to be loved, cared for and to belong.As humans, we need to belong. To one another, to our friends and families, to our culture and country, to our world. Belonging is primal, fundamental to our sense of happiness and well-being. When a child is brought into care they can be confused, scared and unsure of what the future holds; they can feel that they don’t belong. At IFYS Foster Care we acknowledge that children and young people need to belong, they need to feel that they really matter to somebody, somewhere. A connection with at least one caring adult can make a huge difference in the life of a child or young person. In the words of Rita Pierson - Every child deserves a champion - an adult who never gives up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.

NATIONAL SURVEY TO HELP SECURE FUTURE OF LOCAL NEWS Newspaper readers in the Sunshine Coast region are being urged to have their say on the future of country media in Australia’s biggest survey on local news. The survey, launched nationally, is part of the largest study of its kind in Australia, running for three years with almost $250,000 backing from the Australian Research Council, one of the Federal Government’s main competitive research funding agencies. Deakin University, RMIT University and Country Press Australia, the peak regional media organisation, of which this newspaper is a member, are leading the study. The project’s lead investigator, Deakin Associate Professor Kristy Hess, says the future of local newspapers depended on support from local audiences. The survey aims to give people a voice on ways to improve the sustainability of their local paper. “If you read your local newspaper, then it’s absolutely vital you fill in this survey to show your support for local news. We are depending on you,” she says. “We want to hear your ideas and feedback on the role of country

We want to know what the paper means to you and how it might improve.” Project partner and Country Press Australia Executive Director, Bruce Morgan, says the project was as much about regional communities as it was about local media businesses. The survey should take up to 10 minutes and will ask a range of questions that relate to your views on local newspapers. All participants have a chance to win one of 10 new-release Apple iPads.
The survey will run until the end of November. Visit this link now to start the survey: localnewsinnovation.org

THAT’S LIFE
THE DREAM WEAVER
NO THUMBS UP FROM ME
Ashley Robinson is done with his nightly strolls, but he still has a few things on this mind.
Sami Muirhead suggests the replacement of words with emojis in our text crazy world could be diminishing our relationships.
I
am hoping there is a reader out there that has some experience at analysing dreams, as I have a number of recurring weird little episodes. When I was a kid I had two dreams that would freak me out on a regular basis, one was being lost on a train not being able to find Edna (Mum) and the other was being suffocated by a tip truck full of marbles that used to unload on me. Weird, yes I know and they would occur regularly and between that and my sleep walking I kept my parents pretty busy. Sleepwalking sometimes ended with me waking up in the middle of the pineapple patch not having a clue how I got there. Lucky I wasn’t nude, but that’s another story. As I grew older I stopped having the dreams, but kept the sleepwalking into my twenties and early thirties, which always worried me as I was terrified I would go for a walk in the ’burbs with no kit on, which would have been very embarrassing and probably an offense, if not at the least offensive. Thankfully the walking stopped as well, but just over the
last few years recurring dreams have come back; three in fact, but two on a regular basis. For some reason I have this dream about going to the toilet, but the problem is the toilet is in the middle of a room. No cubicle but a toilet where I am sitting in all my glory with people walking past? The next one is I am going back to school, either Nambour High where I am 60 doing senior school again, which is a pretty frequent dream. The other night I was doing grade two again, but was having trouble packing my port (that’s bag if you aren’t a Baby Boomer from Queensland) and having trouble getting there. Which leads me to my most frequent dream, a travel one where I am always late for my plane and haven’t packed my port properly, which is quite stressful. What does it all mean? I have no idea, but I did dream the night before the Melbourne Cup that 13 won, which was Surprise Baby and it was no surprise it didn’t win and great reminder what a bad punter I am. Some say follow your dreams. In my case, I hope not.

W
e are disconnecting more from each other in a time when we are more able to communicate than ever before thanks to technology. This has been a strange year and one where many of us have felt lonely, even if we are not alone. I think coronavirus made many of us stop and question if we are living the life we really want to live. Many of us are guilty of texting rather than picking up the phone to chat. But texting has sunk to new levels when it comes to perpetuating the feelings of loneliness through being disconnected. Phones are like crab pots: once you get in, it is very hard to escape back to the real world. Now when you receive a text message from a friend or loved one, you do not even need to reply with words – you can just press on their message and six options come up for you to tap in response to their message. You can tap love heart, thumbs up, thumbs down, Ha Ha, !!, or ?. Apparently those six emoticons cover any possible reaction you could have to any possible question or scenario given to you. I sent a text asking my husband if he wanted to watch a new TV show that night
and have some quiet time on the couch together. He replied with a thumbs up emoji. I immediately picked up the phoned and told my poor partner in no uncertain terms that he is never to thumb me with such reckless abandonment. Clearly terrified, he agreed and now we have a deal that if one of us bothers to text, the least the other can do is return serve. If we are being better humans, we can actually call each other. I know I hide behind texting sometimes, because it’s easier than speaking to my friends. But I do feel less connection with them when I text as opposed to chatting with them. And feeling connected to our loved ones and our workplace colleagues is surely one of the biggest joys in life. Yet now we don’t even have to text back with words thanks to these annoying six emojis. So please take the time at least to use words to respond to my text messages because these new six symbols are like a diet to me: they leave me feeling unfulfilled, with a niggling feeling something is not right, very cranky, and hungry for more after a short time.

Jess Abraham Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance board member and curator of SubTropic Studio
CALOUNDRA’S SUB TROPIC CREATIVE STUDIO SPACE There has been an unassuming energy brewing in Caloundra over the last 12 months, spilling out from an abandoned ’80s bus terminal in Caloundra. Bringing life to the old Caloundra Transit Centre, Sub Tropic Studio is home to a lightbox gallery, artist studios and workshop space for hire. This creative space was designed as a testing ground for contemporary, experimental art and design, and is a place to meet and a space for subculture to thrive. Created in collaboration with Sunshine Coast Council and Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance, Sub Tropic Studio curates a program of exhibitions, workshops and activities that aim to challenge, entertain, educate, excite and unite audiences. Sub Tropic Studio is currently home to founding studio resident and conceptual photographer Karina Sharpe. Ms Sharpe is a visual crusader for a better world, whose mission is to bring high visibility to meaningful endeavours and propel purposeful brands into the
mainstream with ultra-creative, feelgood custom imagery. Ebony Busk is an emerging visual artist who has recently joined Sub Tropic as part of Sunshine Coast Council’s Creative Spaces Artist in Residence program, providing affordable space for artists to develop and showcase their work, experiment and collaborate. Megan Kelly is a wedding photographer whose artistic approach to capturing weddings blends documentary and editorial photography. Sub Tropic is also home to the Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance’s Good Chats series. By young people and for young people, Good Chats is a free monthly meet-up and speaker series for the Coast’s creatives, designed to inspire and connect. Held on the last Friday of the month, each Good Chats gives space to two local creatives to share their story, while the audience can enjoy delicious free coffee by Seven Miles Coffee Roasters. As well as artist studios, events and workshops, Sub Tropic hosts a lightbox gallery that has recently exhibited the works of artists such as Gerwyn Davies, a photographic artist and costume maker from Sydney, and James Hornsby, a multi-disciplinary artist known for a distinctive style and approach to photography and art. Sub Tropic Studio is currently welcoming new creatives into the space for 2021, with artist studios and lock-up desks available, as well as space to hold workshops and events, or just come and co-work for the day. To apply for studio space, creative co-working, a lightbox exhibition or to pitch an event, head to subtropicstudio.com.
Halinka & Michelle are the team that produces the Little Grabs podcast, which deals with life, friendship and everything in between.
COUNT TO FIVE AND THINK ABOUT IT! What are friends for? To help you cope with change of course.Change can feel daunting, change can feel scary. That voice in your head can sometimes be very loud and convincing… no don’t do it! It wants to keep you safe. If there is real danger then that is great. But mostly there are no bears and that’s where friends come in, to encourage and support you to become a better you. “Change is inevitable; it’s the one thing we can rely on, so you may as well embrace it,” Halinka says. “It’s never too late to change. You can lose that five kilos and fit back into those jeans, you can make that seaside move, if you lose that job you can change career and maybe simplify your life to spend more time with your kids. You can go vegan and walk in the mornings to increase your health when you are told you have high blood pressure.” “The key is committing to the decision,” says Michelle. So why do we find that so hard when we so clearly benefit? “I just decide and commit to do it, but sometimes as time goes on I fall back into bad habits… why is that?” Michelle
asks. “Five, four, three, two, one, no cake, yes cake, yum yum.” “Well, it is mostly due to lack of gratification and negative emotions around the habits. It makes us uneasy. Change is hard – it’s one of the hardest things to go through in life. The secret of life is to grow, and to grow you need to change,” says Halinka. “So, I should tell you ‘good girl’ and buy you cake when you lose five kilos?” says Michelle with a twinkle in her eye? Halinka says with a smile in her voice, “No that is what you would do!” We did some research and found out about the five-second rule. The rule helps you to re-train your mind, and create a new thought pathway, when you fall back into old habitual behaviours, like when you want to sleep in. You plan to get up in the morning and you hesitate, so try counting down, five, four, three, two, one and jump out of bed. The technique teaches you to snap out of it in five seconds and force your mind to do what you need it to do. “Halinka… do you want cake?” teases Michelle. “Yes please,” Michelle responds to herself. “So did the five-second rule work?” asks Halinka “No, I wanted that cake!” Michelle answers. There are many ways to find happiness, sometimes cake might just be it. Challenge yourself to try something new, you might just surprise yourself. We invite you to join our circle at facebook.com.au/littlegrabs. Or send us a message if there is something you want us to talk about or join our podcast for our storie on life, love and all things fluffy.

It’s all about camera placement. Just as you don’t take selfies from an unflattering angle, be aware of where your laptop or phone is positioned. Slightly higher than your face and pointing down into your eyes is the most flattering angle.

SUNSHINE COAST BUSINESS WOMEN’S NETWORK INTENT ON BOOSTING THE REGION
Following the state election, the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network (SCBWN) is keen to see the elected leaders focus on getting our region back on track to boost our economy and support our local businesses. The network congratulates the newly elected state members and Premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, and is keen to collaborate with all levels of government and community to get down to business and focus on the delivery of good policy to drive industry on the Sunshine Coast. SCBWN president Roz White recognises that measures to stay safe are important to Queenslanders, but she encourages a focus towards business to move us forward. “It is clear, Premier Palaszczuk built that safety assurance with Queensland voters through her strong stance to keep the borders closed; now it is time to build business confidence by opening up markets, supporting Queensland manufacturing, creating local jobs and adopting policy settings supportive of local enterprise,” says Ms White. The SCBWN is seeing great results among some of its members with the uplift in people eager to relocate and visit the Sunshine Coast driving property markets and bolstering segments of the local economy. However, other components of this market remain annihilated with international travel in complete shutdown. “The current ‘rocks and diamonds’ economy has triggered new economic settings. It is critical elected leaders understand and navigate through the issues to implement effective measures which support and solve the arising challenges,” she says. SCBWN is recognised as the peak body representing professional and businesswomen in the region.

Getting through Christmas post separation Christmas can be hard on families that have divorced or separated. Tensions and emotions can very easily boil over with the added pressure brought on by the holiday season. If you are recently divorced or separated, here are some tips to help you get through the Christmas period as stress-free as possible. 1. Have a plan in place well in advance so you know who is doing what, where and when. 2. The children are not pawns in your relationship. They deserve (as do you) to enjoy Christmas, so be respectful of your agreed plans and stick to any drop-off or pick-up times. 3. Don’t drink to excess. 4. Keep your thoughts and comments about your ex-partner to yourself. 5. Make the most of the times you are without the children. Looking after yourself post separation will allow you to focus on being a great parent when you do have them. Keep Christmas in perspective because every day you spend with your children is a special day and there are 364 other days in the year that you can choose to make equally as memorable.The full article with more tips can be found on our website.

The attorney sold the house
Which way now for your business?
This is the third in our series answering common questions about estate and probate disputes. It is a common feature of estate planning for a person to appoint someone to act for them in the event they lose capacity. This is typically done through an enduring power of attorney. The role of an attorney is becoming more complex and so are the obligations of the attorney. An increasingly common scenario is a need for a person’s house to be sold to fund an aged care facility accommodation bond – which can easily be in the order of several hundred thousand dollars. What if the well-meaning and well-intentioned attorney sells the house but the incapacitated person’s will gifts the house to a (soon to be disappointed) beneficiary? That is exactly what happened in a recent case before the Queensland Supreme Court (Outram v. Public Trustee of Queensland [2020] QSC 80). Does the beneficiary miss out? Was the Attorney at fault? Read the outcome on our website - krugerlaw.com.au/news.
Business owners without a business plan need to consider why they need one and what it needs to cover. This applies to all businesses, large or small, start-up or established. Take the time out in your business to reflect on the following key areas: NOW Where is your business now? • Describe your current situation and the issues you face. WHERE • Where would you like to be in the future with the issues you identified above? • This may include elements of your vision and business statement. • It can also include your sustainable competitive advantage, key performance measures and objectives. HOW • How will these strategies bridge the gap between the now and the where? • How will the specific action plans be developed from the strategies? • What is the required timing and who is responsible for the carrying out the action plans? Note that it is essential to date the plan and update it on at least a bimonthly basis. It’s usually only the action plans that need changing in the short term.

COOLUM MARKET IS ON AGAIN
Veteran entertainer Judy Glen returns to the stage with her hilarious new show. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa. fter 40 years entertaining audiences with her unhinged humour and acoustic operatic voice, a local self-confessed diva is ready to bring her true persona to the stage. Judy Glen, or the Diva Next Door as she goes by on stage, has always had a passion for performing and after years of international acclaim feels it is time to expose her real self to the “theatre-loving public” – and nothing is off limits. “Judy Glen – Unhinged is a hilarious mixture of exceptional singing, unaccompanied and acoustic, and … hilarious comedy ranging from do-ityourself diva lessons to my first, and last, Brazilian,” Ms Glen says. Ms Glen warns the performance is not for the easily offended, describing her humour as “slightly unbalanced”. “[This is] not suitable for patrons of delicate sensibilities, or on heart lung machines.” Her international career included several lead roles, particularly in the 1990s. She worked alongside the likes of Paul Eddington in HMS Pinafore, Reg
REAL ESTATE Property Consultants since 1936
“This all sounds very grand, but after caring for my ailing husband for 12 years [I] am now more than happy to be back on the boards and helping to entertain folks,” Ms Glen says. “Everyone needs a good laugh.”
The Diva Next Door is performing at The Lind Theatre in Nambour on November 14. Contact 1300 732 764. She is also performing at The Maleny Playhouse in December and January.
The annual Coolum Twilight Markets will be on again from November with Tickle Park set to come alive to raise money for the local community. Coolum Lioness Club began the markets in 1992 at the request of the then Maroochy Council, as long as all the money went locally to charities. “We still have some stallholders from our first market who have been coming the entire time,” club secretary Heather Davis says. “Every year we donate at least $10,000 locally from our markets to the rescue helicopter, Coolum State Emergency Service, Coolum High School chaplaincy, women’s shelter, youth support groups, Coolum Boardriders and a few others.” 2020 will also mark the end of a long era for the club, which will disband next year. “Coolum Lioness Club is 41 years old and this will be our last year operating in Coolum, due to the age and loss of club members,” she says. “In that time we have donated over $500,000 to various charities.” The twilight markets will run every Friday evening from November 20, 2020 until January 22, 2021.

BRIGHTWATER GETS NEW CCTV CAMERAS
POLICE BRIEFS
Brightwater Community Association secretary Allan Rankin with Fairfax MP Ted O’Brien
Crime Stoppers Sunshine Coast and local police recently installed a television at the newly opened Police Beat facility at the Wharf Mooloolaba to help educate the community on crime prevention. “This television is visible to the public 24 hours a day and will educate the community by displaying crime prevention and community safety messages,” Senior Constable Sandy Atkinson says. “It is hoped that the content played will increase the public’s awareness of Crime Stoppers, their role in the community and provide information to visitors of the Wharf complex on how everyone can contribute towards a safer neighbourhood.”
It is hoped safety around the Brightwater estate will be improved after the installation of four permanent CCTV cameras. “The installation of these four CCTV systems will help make Brightwater a much safer place to live,” Brightwater Community Association president Keith Buxton says. Last month a funding agreement was finalised between the association and federal government, with member for Faifaix Ted O’Brien securing $75,000 for
Sergeant Steve McDonald and Crime Stoppers’ Greg Beale outside Mooloolaba Police Beat
the project. “We are all entitled to feel safe in our homes, streets and communities,” Mr O’Brien says. “I hope these cameras will act as a very strong deterrent to the criminal and anti-social behaviour the community has been experiencing. And certainly, if anything does happen, the vision captured could prove invaluable to any police investigation.” The installation comes as police continue to investigate a recent incident in Brightwater Lakeside Park.
Meanwhile, parents are being reminded of the rules around school zone parking and drop-off/pick-up areas, with officers continually patrolling local schools to promote general safety. “Officers … would like to remind parents that loading zones are for dropping off and picking up only and the driver must remain in the car and leave within two minutes,” Snr Const Atkinson says. It comes as a man was arrested earlier this month for public nuisance and failing to state his name and address outside Coolum State School. The arrest was met with disgust by parents who took to social media blaming a lack of designated parking in the area.

science and many children’s authors as well,” Mr White says. As a community organisation, the library is run solely by volunteers. “The Buderim Library has been lending books for over 130 years and is one of the oldest libraries in Queensland, and funded by modest membership fees, money raised from yearly book sales and grants,” Mr White says. “It was first established in 1887 by Mr James Lindsay, only 20 years after Buderim was first settled. He arranged with the Brisbane
School of Arts for the supply of library books and loaned them to fellow settlers in the Buderim area from his home Ryhope.” Today the library has a range of books, including large print, with new releases purchased weekly. “For people who are unable to get to the library themselves, a Books on Wheels service is provided where books of their choice are delivered once a fortnight on Thursdays.” The book sale will be held on November 28 from 8am to 1pm at 3 Main Street, Buderim.
TJUKURRPA EXHIBITION ON NOW An exhibition telling the stories of prominent First Nations female artists from the communities of Utopia, Yuendumu and Haasts Bluff in the Northern Territory is now on display at Coolum’s NeoGallery. Tjukurrpa – Ancestral Stories explores the female connection to homeland, tradition, sacred stories and ceremonial life. Gallery director Peter Gonthier says the artworks vary from bold and colourful, to precision mark making and fluid abstraction. “These artists of international standing have developed unique styles representing deeply considered aspects of ‘women’s business’ and their works are
Yarla Dreaming by Lorna Fencer Napurrula encoded in rich cultural traditions that are uniquely Australian.” The exhibition is open via appointment only. Visit neogallery.net.
Hot on the heels of the recent Community Partnership Funding Program grants, more than 100 community groups have just had their wishes granted through council’s Major Grants program.

Shop locally for your loved ones this Christmas at Buderim Pharmacy or more than 20 years, Alistair Cook’s Buderim Pharmacy has been growing with its community. It has a reputation for providing the very highest levels of service and valued health information from its busy and dynamic health hub right in the heart of Buderim. Alistair’s team of seven pharmacists, along with all the support staff combine their efforts to ensure a totally integrated professional service experience. Their passion and commitment to quality outcomes for every customer means they have created not just a loyal following at the local level but an enviable reputation with peers throughout the pharmacy sector nationally. They were a finalist in the Pharmacy of the Year a few years ago. Buderim Pharmacy’s commitment to the highest standard of pharmacy services is built on two fundamental principles. Firstly, that quality staffinitiated engagement leads to better health outcomes and secondly, if a comprehensive fully integrated system is in place with the customer at its epicentre, it drives health outcomes and possibilities way beyond conventional pharmacy transactions. It’s this approach that has led to the pharmacy providing services spanning a wide range of health needs, including blood

Alistair and Santina Cook pressure and diabetes monitoring, skin checks, weight management advice and consultations about specific conditions. While the pharmacy has notched up more than 20 years of successful operations, it was the incorporation of Alistair’s wife Santina’s Buderim Lifestyle gift shop into the business in more recent years that has contributed in large measure to it being such an appealing destination for local residents and visitors alike. With its amazing range of homewares, gifts décor, handbags, jewellery and candles added
to everything you expect to find in a best practice pharmacy, it really is a one stop shop for good health, wellbeing and lifestyle in our part of the world. But this is not just a story about growth. It is also one of engagement and deep connections to the Buderim community. These connections occur both directly through contact with the staff, and indirectly through multiple health service providers, schools, sporting clubs and other community organisations. It is in this tightly knit community setting that Buderim
Pharmacy which benefits from the support and loyalty shown by its customers, strives to give something meaningful back, beyond the products and services it provides. Alistair says “I measure our achievements and our success in ways other than just business performance. How actively do we participate in the community? What services might we provide that could fulfill an unmet need? What do we give without conditions or strings attached? We are after all, a business whose purpose is to enhance health and well-being. And I genuinely believe that this role extends to the health and well-being of the whole community.” It is because of this firmly held view that Alistair and Santina are philanthropists who lead by example. When the Buderim Foundation launched in 2004, they made a decision to support the organisation by becoming a major sponsor and they have been an integral part of the Foundation family ever since. As revered Foundation Ambassadors, they can be found regularly at Buderim Foundation events and of course, they are splendid advocates promoting the value of the Foundation and the work it does within the community.

BURNSIDE TEACHER THE BEST

urnside State School has reason to celebrate with year five teacher Rebecca Pope being crowned the Sunshine Coast’s favourite teacher for 2020. The announcement coincided with World Teachers’ Day as part of Hot 91’s annual Apple for the Teacher competition. “Wow! I’m lost for words. I’m never lost for words; I’ve always got something to say,” Ms Pope says. “The school here is great, the kids are great, the parent[s], families, just love it.” Ms Pope says knowing how much she means to her students is humbling. “I am [getting emotional] a bit because [the children are] so sweet and sometimes you just don’t hear it,” she says. “What I try to bring to class is humour, I’m very honest with the children and I treat them as an equal in a sense.” As luck would have it, Ms Pope was on maternity leave during this year’s interruption to schooling, using her time to phone parents and check on the progress of her students. Ms Pope now has a relaxing spa trip for two to look forward to, and having a newborn to keep her busy, she says she

The local community is being encouraged to join in a Lap the Map event to help raise awareness for diabetes prevention. The walk, from Pacific Paradise State School, will be hosted by Maroochy North Shore Lions Club. “Lions Clubs across the country will be hosting family-friendly walks and community events to promote healthy lifestyle and raise awareness of the diabetes epidemic in Australia,” the club’s Jennifer Sommerville says. “Lions Clubs will be reporting the length of their Lap the Map walks and we are aiming to move a combined distance that exceeds Australia’s circumference, 25,760 kilometres.” Type 2 diabetes represents 90 per cent of all cases of diabetes. Lap the Map will set off at 9am on November 14. For more information phone 0417 779 984.

CALOUNDRA COAST GUARD GETS WELCOME SUPPORT The Caloundra Power Boat Club has given $5000 to help keep the Coast Guard going. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.
I
n what has been a challenging year for all volunteer organisations, Sunshine Coast community groups and locals continue to band together to support those who so tirelessly support others. The story is no different for the Caloundra Coast Guard, and thanks to the generosity of the Caloundra Power Boat Club, the Coast Guard has recently been presented with $5000. Caloundra Power Boat Club president Joe Keates says as a community club who regularly supports local causes, it is wonderful to help the flotilla and thank them for the work they do in their own backyard, Pumicestone Passage. “The Caloundra flotilla of the Australia Volunteer Coast Guard has been doing it even harder than usual this year because many of its fundraising events, including Saturday raffles at the Caloundra Power Boat Club, have not been to be held because of coronavirus restrictions,” Mr Keates says. “The majority of funds to run the Australia Volunteer Coast Guard are raised from the community, with the volunteers even buying their own uniforms.”
“[We recognise] the huge contribution that the Coast Guard makes to the safety and health of people using the Pumicestone Passage and the offshore waters of Caloundra, which are the recreation and working areas for many. “Assisting fundraising for QF4 Caloundra is particularly special to the Caloundra Power Club as Pumicestone Passage and related

waterways form the backyard of the club.” Flotilla commander Roger Pearce says it is a very “welcomed” gift. “Our greatest thanks to Joe and his great Team at the Caloundra Power Boat Club and for their continued support,” Mr Pearce says. The money will help the Coast Guard continue to keep its vessels on the water.

WORK BEGINS ON THRIVE NIRIMBA Work has begun on Aura’s masterplanned over-50s lifestyle community. The $126 million project, Thrive Nirimba, is the first land release project for developer Stockland, and will include 244 homes and modern community facilities. Stockland general manager of Thrive Lifestyle Communities Kingsley Andrew says this is the first project in a pipeline of around 3000 lifestyle home sites planned for existing masterplanned communities across Australia. “[This] will appeal to those looking to downsize or retire, and is perfect for people who want to enjoy the benefits of resort-style living, but who don’t see themselves living in a traditional retirement village.” Mr Andrews says a home in the first release will be up to $100,000 less than the median house price of surrounding suburbs. A clubhouse, communal kitchen and alfresco entertaining area will be the hub of the Thrive community. It will be a space for social, wellness and creative events, as well as active opportunities, a movie theatre, heated outdoor pool, gymnasium and pickleball courts.

ust in time for Christmas, a local art gallery is hoping to inspire shoppers to buy local and support talented artists. Red Ink Rodeo Art Gallery in Downtown Caloundra will open a unique art show from November, giving locals the opportunity to view and purchase small artworks produced by 25 artists. “2020 has brought many challenges to the arts sector as well as the whole community, and this art show is an opportunity for local artists to create fun works with only a restriction on the size of the artwork,” gallery director Grace McClymont says. “The only guidelines artists were given was to create artworks that are 20 by 20 centimetres. “The art show will be as eclectic as the artists themselves and will be a great opportunity for all members of
the community to find artworks that they connect with. “It is looking like being an exciting show with artists ranging in age from 16 to 80.” Ms McClymont says in 2020 there has been a shift in the value of connections with friends, family and communities, and the art show will embody the importance of these ties. “Locals and visitors will be able to engage with the show at any time of day or night due to a unique 24/7 viewing experience in the windows of [the gallery],” she says. “Artworks will be able to be viewed and purchased from the footpath, giving everyone in the community a chance to connect with and support their local artists.” The window show will be on display from November 25 to December 15 in Knox Avenue, Caloundra.
POP-UP PET EVENTS Local pet owners will have the opportunity to attend various responsible pet ownership information events at Point Cartwright in upcoming weeks. Sunshine Coast Council will host the pop-up event on November 13 and 28 and December 11 from 7am to 9am. Locals can visit with their dog to pick up some freebies, learn information or ask questions about responsible pet ownership.

ISABELLE THE BAT BECOMES THE WILDLIFE HOSPITAL’S 100,000TH PATIENT
POLICE BRIEFS
Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital has reached a major milestone, recently treating its 100,000th patient, a grey-headed flying fox named Isabelle. Australia Zoo’s Terri Irwin says Isabelle (pictured) was hit by a car, resulting in hospital vets performing life-saving surgery to repair her wing. “Isabelle is especially important, as she has a pup with her,” she says. “The baby bat, lovingly named Pablo, will cling to his mother until he’s a little older.” The vulnerable grey-headed flying fox has been drastically affected by the bushfires that ravaged Australia earlier this year, with hundreds being admitted to the local wildlife hospital as a result. So far, the hospital has treated more than 6500 bats, with 1125 of those being treated in the last year alone. Flying foxes are among the world’s largest pollinators, and essential for the health of Australia’s unique ecosystems. Founded in 2002 by Steve and Terri Irwin, Wildlife Warriors has come a long way since its humble beginnings. “The original wildlife hospital was in a converted avocado packing shed,” Mrs Irwin says “Today, the new hospital is the largest, busiest wildlife hospital of its kind anywhere in the world.”
Local police are seeking assistance from the public to identify the owner and driver of the pictured vehicle. Senior Constable Sandy Atkinson says on October 10 the white van was allegedly captured on CCTV in the vicinity of Campbell Street, Moffat Beach. “Police further allege that this address was the location of an attempted break-in where property was damaged. “If you recognise this vehicle or know who the owner/driver is, please contact police.” Anyone with information is encouraged to visit police.qld.gov.au/ reporting and quote the reference number QP2002104612 within the online suspicious activity form.

HELPING HAND FOR NEW WORKERS Applications are now open for Fisher bursary. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.
S
tudents on the Sunshine Coast could once again benefit from a bursary of $1000 to help them enter the world of work as part of the third round of the Ready, Set, Go! bursary. Last round’s winner was 18-year-old Meridan State College student Courtney Byron. Ms Bryon is hoping to pursue a career in hairdressing and is using her grant to purchase new scissors and hair straighteners. “I was a bit speechless to be honest,” Ms Byron says about her win. “I didn’t think I was going to be the winner. There are so many people who could apply for this bursary, and I am so thankful that I did. This is going to really kickstart my apprenticeship.” Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace says the bursary is for students who are pursuing any trade. “You don’t have to be a chippy like me, or an aspiring sparky like our first winner Tom Loane to receive a Ready, Set, Go! Bursary,” Mr Wallace says. “Our second deserving winner Courtney is hoping to begin her apprenticeship as a hairdresser next year. I hope to see many more applications from young women and men alike in this new round.” Mr Wallace says the bursary is flexible and can reflect the real needs of local young people in their search for work. “That means there is no prescriptive

CALOUNDRA STUDENTS WALK FOR DANIEL
C
aloundra City Private School recently joined thousands of students and families right across Australia to remember Daniel Morcombe and shine a light on the importance of child safety. To commemorate the annual Day for Daniel, CCPS students, staff and parents dressed in red walked from Woorim Park in Golden Beach to the school grounds in Pelican Waters. Principal Sherrie Cuthbert says the day is important for all schools to participate in, but particularly here on the Sunshine Coast. “It is imperative to continue to educate our students about the absolute importance of their personal safety with the support of these discussions at home,” Mrs Cuthbert says. “[For the walk] our students at CCPS wear a red T-shirt, which has become an iconic symbol of child safety in Australia due to the tireless work of Daniel’s parents, Bruce and Denise. “The Morcombe family have worked hard to build the resilience of children and strengthen the resolve of parents, teachers and carers to have the tough what-if conversations that have the power

The Rotary Club of Caloundra Pacific’s Christmas Trailer raffle is now highly visible at the Pelican Waters shopping centre on Saturdays, Bulcock Street Sunday Markets and Thursdays at Currimundi Markets. The raffle is also available online at rafflelink.com.au/ xmastrailer2020. We are also supporting the Share a Meal project, which provides food and clothing for the homeless each Thursday evening at Happy Valley. This will include the provision of Christmas hampers. We also support ShelterBox Australia, which, since the year 2000, has provided shelter and emergency items to 1.5 million people in nearly 100 countries from Syria, India and Vanuatu to Ethiopia, Indonesia and the Philippines. We also provide annual support to Rotary International’s polio eradication program. The club members recently enjoyed a fascinating social evening star gazing at the Wappa Falls Observatory. A visit is highly recommended.
KEEPING BEACHES CLEAN Thanks to a team of rubbish warriors, Caloundra’s beaches are regularly kept clean. Visionary Ocean Warriors holds regular beach clean ups, and recently had a seaside scavenge event where the community traded trash for treasure. “[It was] a huge success – 92 scavengers collecting a total of 65 kilos from the surrounding beaches and parks,” Visionary Ocean Warriors Poppy Ives says. “The haul included 1700 cigarette butts, 201 plastic food packages, and 105 glass alcohol bottles.

GRAB A BARGAIN AT THE BABY & KIDS MARKET The next Sunny Coast Baby & Kids Market is set to go ahead in Currimundi this month with several new and used goods for sale. The markets give parents who no longer need baby clothes or furniture, such as portable cots and highchairs, a chance to re-sell them, in turn giving new parents a one-stop shop for inexpensive items. “All these things add up to a lot of money for clothing and highchairs and it doesn’t need to be brand new,” organiser
Suzel Doughty says. “It’s great for grandparents too. You can buy a highchair to have at their place.” The market is also an opportunity for locals to sell handmade baby items. Ms Doughty says most stallholders are mothers who have struggled through COVID and are trying to bounce their businesses back. The market is on November 29 at Talara Primary School. Entry is $2 for adults.

5 OVERLOOKED spring cleaning tasks
1
4
A deep spring clean should not only include the obvious things like floors, walls, windows and cabinets. Here are five often-forgotten tasks you’ll feel happy knowing you’ve done. Cutting boards – when you’re just washing them in the usual way, they quickly build up stains. Take a few minutes to rub a lemon or lime half over the board to remove stains and smells. For really tough stains, sprinkle some salt or baking soda on it first.
3
Reusable bags – we’re all in the habit of taking our cloth bags to the shops now, but how often do you clean those grubby bags out? Turn them inside out and run them through the washing machine on a hot cycle.
Doormats – It’s easy to forget this one, even though you wipe your feet on it every day. Hose off your outdoor mats and dry them in the sun. Vacuum your indoor mats and if they’ve seen better days, invest in some nice new ones.
5
2 Washing machine – your trusty washing machine can be a breeding ground for salmonella and other germs, especially if you don’t wash in hot water. Run an empty load with hot water and distilled vinegar and baking soda to sanitise the basin and kill germs.
Bedding – You probably wash your sheets pretty regularly, but how often do you wash your doonas and pillows? Most pillows can safely be washed in the washing machine, but if you’re not sure, handwash them in a tub of soapy water. For your doona, fill the bath with warm water and add some shampoo – it’s easier to rinse off than detergent. Then take your shoes off, hop in and stomp on your doona like you’re crushing grapes. Rinse and hang doonas and pillows out in the sun.
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.

We love the shaker-style doors on the cabinets and the spacious island bench, made of Nikpol Halifax oak. The benchtops are Smartstone and we love the way they’ve hidden the rangehood in a custom-made box so as not to detract from the farmhouse feel.

Good for the environment and your wallet Sunshine Coast company Pool Fab is pioneering pool design that is water- and energy-efficient, reduces noise and uses environmentally sustainable technology. Pool and spa builders and designers must meet between four and seven criteria to achieve the certification. These are based on the size of the pool, including rainwater tanks, overflow storage, LED lighting and pool covers. The Swimming Pool and Spa Association of Australia’s Climate Care Certification (CCC) reflects how many in the pool industry have taken to incorporate environmentally friendly materials and systems into their practice. “Our community is now more educated about the impact we have on our planet and with this awareness comes a responsibility to do our share to preserve our natural environment,” Pool Fab’s Mr Lynch says. “When designing a pool and
landscape space, clients now want to achieve a green design.” Pool Fab’s pools come with the latest energy-efficient variable-speed pumps as standard, reducing power consumption by over 70 per cent when compared with a standard pool pump. These swimming pools are either mineral or fresh water and don’t require harsh chemicals, so they’re soft on the skin and eyes. The water can even be used on the garden when backwashing. Swimming in a freshwater pool is better for your health and creates a more refreshing swimming experience for you and your family to enjoy. Ecozen offers carbon offset on all its projects to make the entire construction a carbon-neural process. The new CCC offers pool buyers an easy-to-use guide to the highest levels of current best practices in the pool market.

Sean Lynch from Pool Fab recently became the first concrete pool builder in Australia to receive the Climate Care Certification for his energy-efficient pools.
of the CCC, Pool Fab’s pools include energy-efficient pumps, glass media filters, robotic pool cleaners, curved piping, LED pool lights and solar blankets. There are no limits when it comes to designing an environmentally friendly pool and best of all, it saves on operating costs.

START HERE WITH YOUR RENOVATION PLANNING Gavin McArthur shares tips on how to make the best of your project. WORDS: Tracey Johnstone.
T
urning a niggling renovation idea from a dream to a reality takes a few vital initial planning steps towards achieving a successful outcome. Knowing your goal and your budget at the very start are a must, recommends Smart Choice Homes builder and director
Gavin McArthur (pictured). The Sunshine Coast 2020 Master Builders Home Renovation/Remodel ($576k–$1m) and HIA Renovation/ Addition ($301k–$600k) awards winner says these two steps act as a baseline for every decision an owner makes during a project.

Deciding whether you are renovating before selling or for lifestyle is important. “When doing it for lifestyle sometimes you can over-capitalise but that’s okay because you can get the value out of it in the next 10 years,” Mr McArthur says. Well before you pay for plans, get a qualified builder to review the site, discuss your ideas and your budget. Don’t be afraid to be open about your budget Mr McArthur adds. Revealing it gives the builder the opportunity to have an honest conversation with you about what can be achieved. Mr McArthur jokes that when he comes in, he can be a “dream crasher” but for a good reason. Often his clients have lots of ideas but
don’t fully understand what they will cost. “I come in and they tell me all their ideas,” Mr McArthur says. “I will tell them it will cost say at least $150k and they might say ‘we only thought it be would be $30k’.” A builder will also be able to advise if a renovation idea is legal or practical. When choosing a builder Mr McArthur says to get recommendations from people you know and look for someone with a solid industry reputation, who has won awards and can show they are up-to-date with industry knowledge. Talking to a builder’s past clients should also be on the checklist. When you finally meet the potential builder, he recommends you consider whether you can trust them to deliver on your dream. He also says an owner should be prepared to pay for a fully costed building quote. “You are better spending the time and effort before the job starts making sure that is right,” Mr McArthur adds. The quote can also guide you on how long the project will take which can be anywhere from four to eight months. “There is no such thing as a cheap renovation,” he warns. “Ultimately, it will impact on the resale value of your home.”

Mahalia Cassidy to don Lightning colours in 2021
Mooloolaba Women’s Keelboat Regatta held in challenging conditions
T
he Mooloolaba Women’s Keelboat Regatta held over the October 31–November 1 weekend, ran the gamut of challenging conditions on the Mooloolah River, from near glass-out to 25 knots, strong tidal flow and a super-tight windward-leeward course dictated by the northerly winds and the geography of the river. The regatta saw a high level of ‘collaborative’ competition, with the ultimate winners, team Typhoon, hailing from Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron. Local Mooloolaba Yacht Club team, Knot Shore placed second, with Bazinga Girls, from Darling Point Sailing Squadron in Brisbane, third. With the regatta’s objective of promoting pathways for women to develop their skills in the traditionally male-dominated sport of sailing, competitors ranged from Australia’s sailing elite to relative newcomers, with teams from as far away as South Australia and Brisbane. Age proved no barrier – the Lake Cootharaba team averaged 16 years old, while the Twisted Sisters from South Australia averaged 65 years young.

Eight teams of three or four sailors competed on the Mooloolaba Yacht Club’s fleet of Olympic class one-design Elliott 6 keelboats, with each yacht completing up to nine short-course races over the two-day event. Ahead of the super-cell storms that battered parts of the Sunshine Coast on Saturday, the racing was held in changeable winds that built throughout the afternoon to the point where racing had to be postponed. “Several times as the wind strength reached the limit for the Elliott 6s, I considered stopping the race but the teams on the course managed the conditions exceptionally well,” says race officer, Warren Myles. “I haven’t seen such quality seamanship in a while.” Sunday’s sailing couldn’t have been more of a contrast, with the start delayed due to lack of wind. However, the northerlies filled in to provide champagne sailing conditions and the full complement of races was completed. “The regatta demonstrated the enormous potential for increasing women’s participation in sailing, and Mooloolaba Yacht Club is hugely supportive of that goal,” says Tanya Kelly,
MYC Commodore and skipper of team Boom Shakalaka. “We saw excellent capability in boat handling and a great competitive spirit, but it was also great to see the collaboration amongst the different teams, with the experienced sailors welcoming and supporting those newer to the sport.” The regatta has grown from the club’s Women’s Skills Development Program, which has seen over 100 women sign up for sailing at the club since the program’s inception in 2017. This was the second Mooloolaba Women’s Keelboat Regatta and the 2021 event is planned for late June, by which time border restrictions may once again enable other interstate teams to compete. “In these difficult times, it was fantastic to be able to come together and have some ‘normality’,” says Mr Myles. “It’s no wonder the Australian Olympic Laser team has chosen Mooloolaba as their training ground it’s the best place in the world to sail.” The regatta was run in association with SheSails Australia and sponsored by Next Property Group and Helly Hansen.
Sunshine Coast Lightning’s squad of 10 is locked in, with the exciting announcement of new signing Mahalia Cassidy today. The former Queensland Firebirds player has put pen to paper to head north and join Lightning’s 2021 lineup. Cassidy is a tenacious and highly talented midcourter, who has made a name for herself wearing the Centre bib, but is also comfortable at Wing Attack, which will provide balance to Lightning’s squad. Head coach Kylee Byrne was thrilled to announce this new team addition, known for her speed and accurate feeds. “Mahalia is such an exciting player to watch and she is impressive and creative in attack but can also hold her own defensively,” Byrne says. “Moreover, I believe she will fit in really well with the group and the wider Lightning environment and she provides another versatile, explosive option through our midcourt.” The 25-year-old ranked fourth in the league for goal assists in 2020 and led Firebirds for pickups, as well as ranking second behind only Romelda Aiken in Nissan Net Points for the Queensland side. Cassidy is buoyant about the move back north to the Sunshine Coast and is keen to work hard and build those new cross-court combinations. “When a new opportunity and challenge presented itself at Lightning, I was incredibly excited to sign on with the Club ahead of 2021,” says Ms Cassidy. “Lightning is a consistently competitive side in the Super Netball league and I’m eager to do whatever I can to contribute to the team, both on and off court.” Ms Cassidy impressed throughout the 2020 season for Firebirds and was named in the Origin Diamonds Development Squad for the first time earlier this month. myweeklypreview.com.au

Bennett shocked Friend was an Origin rookie Queensland coach Wayne Bennett is such a fan of Jake Friend it took the veteran coach by surprise when he realised the 30-yearold hadn’t played State of Origin before. Mr Friend spent most of his career stuck behind Cameron Smith in the pecking order of Maroons’ hookers but finally got his chance to represent his state in Wednesday’s game one win in Adelaide. It’s a debut Bennett was shocked to learn hadn’t already happened. “I thought he’d already played for Queensland for some reason over the last couple of years but he hasn’t,” says Mr Bennett after the Maroons’ captain’s run. “We tried to get him to the Broncos as a kid and he decided to go to the Roosters.” That decision to head to Bondi has paid off handsomely for Mr Friend, who has made 262 games for the Tri-Colours and
won three premierships. That level of experience is why Mr Bennett believes Mr Friend took to Origin like a duck to water. “The point is I’ve admired what he’s done at the Roosters for a long time,” says Mr Bennett. “He’s part of that forward pack that I think we can get some confidence out of because he’s a very good player and you know he’ll be doing his absolute best. “His best has been good enough to put the Roosters in the last two grand final until this year. He’s a quality player.” The only other starting forward for Queensland who was yet to play Origin is Melbourne youngster Tino Fa’asuamaleaui. The 20-year-old was named to start at lock ahead of Jai Arrow in one of the more surprising selections by Bennett. The veteran coach, however, says opting for Fa’asuamaleaui is a no-brainer. – AAP
YMCA Caloundra hosted the first sanctioned Queensland Gymnastics competition in the post COVID-19 shutdown last weekend. The Halloween event was in off-season but heralded a great return to the performance floor for Queensland gymnasts. The event showcased junior and senior gymnasts in women’s gymnastics and junior gymnasts in men’s gymnastics. “We were determined for our members’ sakes and those of the wider
gymnastics community to come back to open competition as soon as possible” says event director, Trevor Dowdell. “Our COVID-safe event was a solid success for the six attending clubs. The event was run-up event to a huge two-week State-wide event to be held at the Caloundra stadium in early December.” Halloween themes highlighted the event with staff and volunteers in a variety of ghoulish costumes.

SURF REPORT
with MWP’s man in the water
Smell for thought! So, next time your partner asks you if they smell nice consider this. A prime ingredient in perfume is in fact sperm whale vomit or poo, depending on your interpretation. Yep, next time you spray whale vomit/ poo on your face think about that for a minute. Ambergris is derived from the digestive systems of sperm whales and either comes out the front end or the back end! Oh and if you happened to find some, it is worth a fortune. Laters.
