KEEPING OUR KIDS SAFE FROM ONLINE PREDATORS

Police warn parents not to leave children alone with computers and phones and to create an agreed ‘trust list’ of online connections.

Children have been warned that ‘stranger danger’ can occur in their own rooms after a Sunshine Coast man accused of targeting minors online was charged with more than 100 offences.

Dion Adam Lingard, 31, is in custody after allegedly grooming two girls, aged between 12 and 14, online before meeting them.

After detectives executed a search warrant at a Sunshine Coast property in February, Lingard was charged with 116 offences. The charges include rape, stalking, taking a child for immoral purposes, indecent treatment of a child, possession of and making child exploitation material and supplying dangerous drugs.

“We are still going through a plethora of material that was seized that day,”

Detective Inspector Chris Toohey says.

Lingard is accused of actively targeting minors online since August 2023.

“He has procured and groomed a relationship online first and then has arranged to meet up with these minors after that,” Insp Toohey alleged.

“At this stage there are no other victims but we are still proceeding with this investigation.”

Insp Toohey warns parents not to leave their children alone with computers or phones, saying it is “inviting strangers”.

“It is a horrible circumstance for us to get lessons from,” he says.

“The lesson we are going to learn here is that we need to make sure we know what our children are looking at, who they are talking to. We need to constantly remind our children that stranger danger doesn’t just happen out on the streets, it happens

inside your house and inside your rooms.”

Insp Toohey says support is being provided to the girls and their families as they continue with an investigation that has also affected police.

“It’s very hard and as a father myself, you really feel for the parents,” he says.

“It is very difficult to put yourself in their position. It certainly affects the police who are investigating.”

Insp Toohey encourages parents to work with their children on an agreed list of trusted people they can connect with online and block users not on it.

“We need to constantly remind our children that stranger danger doesn’t just happen out on the streets”

He says parents should have access to passwords for their child’s devices and also remind their kids to never provide personal details to people online.

Insp Toohey believes it is important parents know who their children are talking to online and the websites they are using, saying any platform can be targeted.

“It can be a gaming site, it can be a chat site of any description – we are going to find predators looking for ways to meet children online,” he says.

“Predatory behaviour is incredibly manipulative and can include scamming techniques. We encourage children to listen to their instincts and tell a trusted adult if any conversation seems ‘creepy’ or makes them feel uncomfortable.”

Lingard has been refused police bail.

LANDMARK WAGE DECISION FOR AGED-CARE WORKERS

Aged-care staff are poised to receive a wage rise of up to 28 per cent after the Fair Work Commission handed down a landmark decision for the sector.

More than 100,000 indirect employees in the sector will enjoy a wage boost after the Health Services Union (HSU) lodged an application for a 25 per cent across-the-board increase in 2020.

Personal carers will see an increase between 18 and 28 per cent, home-care staff will get a rise of between 15 and 26 per cent, and there will be a 6.8 per cent increase for those involved in support services under the commission’s decision, delivered recently.

The commission awarded an interim 15 per cent pay rise to direct-care employees at the end of 2022, with the industrial umpire saying this was plainly justified by work-value reasons.

HSU national president Gerard Hayes says it is an historic improvement for those working in the sector.

“(This decision) will usher in a new era of decency and dignity in our aged care homes,” he says.

Bilingual orcas Did you know?

Groups of killer whales (orcas) have their own dialects that are further influenced by the company they keep. A 2014 study published in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America revealed that orcas housed with bottlenose dolphins over a long period of time were able to replicate the dolphins’ language.

Most of us remember someone we know getting the COVID-19 virus over the past couple of years, but did you know animals infected with SARS-CoV-2 have been documented around the world. Most of these animals became infected after contact with people with COVID-19. Some pets reportedly infected include dogs, cats, hamsters and ferrets, as well as zoo animals such as lions, tigers, snow leopards, non-human primates and fish.

THE STORY BEHIND THE ‘FACE’ OF GIVING DAY

Wishlist’s important fundraising event helps support Sunshine Coast and Gympie patients and their families on many varied health journeys.

Cracking jokes and bringing a smile to people’s faces is 17-year-old Jeremy’s speciality.

Little do many know that behind his brave facade, Jeremy has been battling an aggressive blood cancer.

The Year 12 student, from Unity College in Caloundra, was diagnosed with large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma last year. This is an aggressive type of cancer that develops from the B-cells in the lymphatic system and affects the immune system.

Instead of spending his final years at school with his mates – mountain biking and doing all the things he loves, Jeremy has spent the majority of the past year in hospital, enduring seven gruelling rounds of chemotherapy.

As the eldest of four siblings, Jeremy’s diagnosis was a devastating shock to his close-knit family.

Initially dismissed as allergies, his condition became progressively worse until one day, Jeremy says, “I was like blue lips, super puffy and mum rushed me to the hospital”.

“From there, I was told it was cancer,” he says.

“At first, it took quite a while for me to process but once I did process it, I did shed a few tears.

“They did a biopsy of my chest, as my cancer was in my chest area.

“We started chemo and from there the journey started.

“Sometimes it still doesn’t feel real because, as a young person, you don’t think of getting cancer.

“Sometimes you’re just unlucky.”

“Sometimes it doesn’t feel real because, as a young person, you don’t think of getting cancer”

Jeremy endured six months of chemotherapy. During treatment, his parents witnessed him face isolation and challenges that no mum or dad want to see their teenager go through.

“You can only be proud of the way

“He required platelet and blood transfusions, was hospitalised on numerous occasions with febrile neutropenia (fevers due to very low immunity) and skin infections.”

Despite the hardships, Jeremy maintained a brave face, determined to shield his family from additional distress.

“Mum and Dad were taken away from my siblings during my treatment, so I wanted (my brothers and sister) the least concerned as possible.

“I was just trying to look at everything positively and push on.”

Jeremy faced a devastating setback around four months after chemotherapy.

He went for a routine PET scan which

Jeremy handled it,” his dad says. Jeremy is finally in remission – pictured here with his family Jeremy with his mum and dad

showed a hot spot remained, and he would need a further three rounds of aggressive chemotherapy.

“That was probably the lowest time for me,” he admits.

“To be told I’d have to be bumped up to the Frankenstein level of chemotherapy was difficult to accept, but I thought, “Okay, I can conquer this. What do I have to lose? I’ve already lost my goldie locks’.

“It was hard to go through more rounds of chemo and those rounds made the others seem so easy.

“Even though I didn’t express it, I have never been so scared in my life.”

Mental health challenges, nausea and discomfort became a daily reality for Jeremy – all while his parents juggled work, care for their other children and frequent visits to support their son through the challenging times.

“There were some moments where you question if it was real because cancer is just so evil,” Jeremy’s dad says.

Jeremy’s resilience and positive spirit led him into remission in June last year.

Now back at school, working parttime and slowly returning to his beloved

Protector Aluminium, the McDowell family, Just Better Care, GVS Reliability Products, Acceler and more, donations made on Wednesday, March 27, will be matched. That means every dollar you give is doubled to make a very real difference to local patients and families.

Wishlist CEO Lisa Rowe says the Wishlist Giving Day, now in its fifth year, has profoundly impacted the growing health needs of Coast patients and their families.

HOW WISHLIST IS MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE’S LIVES

activities including mountain biking and camping, Jeremy reflects on his changed perspective on life.

“At the start, you just think about getting to the end of the treatment; and when you’re on the other side, it changes your perspective on life,” he says.

Motivated by a desire to bring hope and inspiration to other families facing similar struggles, Jeremy is the ‘face’ of this year’s Wishlist Giving Day on Wednesday, March 27.

“I’m just very grateful for the care I received – and I know my parents are, too,” he says. “Mum used the Wishlistfunded Parents Retreat which kept her close during those hard times, and the therapy dogs lifted my spirits – it brought that little bit of home to the hospital.”

Wishlist Giving Day is a 12-hour fundraising appeal aimed at raising more than $200,000 to support the growing health needs of Sunshine Coast and Gympie patients and their families.

Thanks to generous corporate matchers such as Exemplar Health, Cooloola Window Tinting, Sunshine Coast Challenge Golf, Sunshine Toyota,

“We’re calling on the local community to join us in making this Wishlist Giving Day our best one yet,” she says.

and Clare Stewart, respectively, stepping down.

As My Weekly Preview went to print, with 79.56 per cent of the vote counted, Rosanna Natoli had 27.31 per cent of the vote on the Sunshine Coast, ahead of Ashley Robinson with 24.51 per cent and Jason OPray 21.65 per cent.

Min Swan had 16.24 per cent, Wayne Parcell 6.42 per cent and Michael Burgess 3.86 per cent.

In Noosa, with 78.55 per cent of the vote counted, Frank Wilkie had 40.07 per cent of the vote for mayor, ahead of Ingrid Jackson with 23.45 per cent.

Nick Hluszko had 21.04 per cent and John Morrall 15.44 per cent.

NEW FACES TO LEAD OUR LOCAL COUNCILS

After Sunshine Coast and Noosa mayors both retired, two high-profile candidates are ahead in the election count to take their places.

The votes are in and the count is underway in the 2024 Queensland local government elections, which will determine

the make-up of the Sunshine Coast and Noosa councils.

Both those local councils will have new mayors, with Mark Jamieson

In the race for Sunshine Coast councillor roles, Jenny Broderick, Terry Landsberg, Tim Burns, Joe Natoli, Ted Hungerford, Taylor Bunnag and Maria Suarez held strong leads in their respective divisions, with between 54 and 80 per cent of the vote counted.

The vote is much closer in two divisions: current councillor Winston Johnston led Tracy Burton by just six votes in Division 5 (Sunshine Coast hinterland), while policeman Peter Walsh had 103 more votes than incumbent David Law in Division 10 (Nambour, Yandina and hinterland).

In the race for Noosa councillor roles,

with 19.28 per cent counted, Nicola Wilson, Tom Wegener, Amelia Lorentsen, Brian Stockwell, Jess Phillips and Alecia Staines led the way.

Mayors and councillors are up for election across Queensland’s 77 local governments, with about 3.5 million people voting.

About 1.4 million electors had already voted before election day, the Electoral Commission Queensland (ECQ) says.

“This number represents over 40 per cent of eligible voters,” it says.

The local council elections took place on Saturday, March 16, alongside two state government by-elections.

The by-elections were in Inala and Ipswich West after respective members, former premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Jim Madden, resigned.

The official count commenced the next day.

The results website will be updated as counting progresses with the completion of official counts and addition of returned postal votes.

The ECQ cannot declare any results until the outcome is mathematically certain and it may not be possible for it to declare a result until after the final cut-off for the return of postal votes on Tuesday, March 26.

‘BOOTS-ON-THE-GROUND’ OPERATION TARGETS CRIME

Local police have charged 203 people with around 179 offences across the Sunshine Coast since a high-visibility policing operation began in March last year.

Operation Whiskey Unison focuses on preventing, disrupting and investigating youth crime through community engagement and patrols at intelligencedriven hot-spot locations.

The recent statistics follow My Weekly Preview’s coverage last week on how the region is tackling youth crime.

In the past 12 months, the operation has resulted in a total of 11,023 people being arrested on 17,791 charges statewide, including drug, weapons, traffic, property crime and bail offences. Of the people arrested, 4149 of them were juveniles who are facing 7551 charges.

There have been 5647 proactive activities in the Sunshine Coast district including hot-spot patrols, shopping centre and business walkthroughs, bail compliance checks, community engagements and service station dropins. The boots-on-the-ground style of operation also allows more opportunities for officers and police liaison officers to conduct bail checks and engage with young people.

Patrols largely involve a dedicated police presence using marked vehicles, Mobile Police Beats and foot patrols in known hot-spot areas, with assets such as Mounted Unit and Highway Patrol also utilised.

Youth Crime Acting Assistant Commissioner Andrew Massingham says these extra boots on the ground have been integral to supporting officers.

“Everyone from our police liaison officers who engage our multicultural and First Nations communities, to general duties patrolling shopping centres and known crime hot spots, and our district crime-prevention teams working hard to assist victims of crime. Our frontline does a wonderful job and the result we’ve seen from Whiskey Unison is testament to this. We know high visibility is an important deterrent. It all counts towards ensuring the community feels safe,” he says.

A BLOODY GOOD REASON TO DONATE SOME TIME

check-up ’cause he wasn’t super and that’s when he had his first blood transfusion.

“He has pretty much has had a transfusion every month after.”

Ms Spooner says Noah is currently having transfusions every fortnight at SCUH to ensure he does not become severely anaemic, which could jeopardise the flow of oxygen to major organs such as the heart, brain and lungs.

“Noah’s body makes baby red blood cells,” she says.

“They should be a jellybean, disk-type shape which allow them to go through all the organs and deliver oxygen all over the body – but Noah’s are round and very rigid so they get stuck in his spleen.

important blood donation was before Noah. Now, for our family, it’s invaluable.

“That selfless kindness of strangers who we will never get an opportunity to personally thank is the most humbling thing I think I could have ever experienced.

“If we could go and thank every single person who had donated to him, we would go.”

Ms Spooner says that despite Noah’s condition he’s a “cool little dude”.

A Sunshine Coast toddler and his mum are forever grateful for the LifeBlood Centre donors who keep him alive. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

Noah is a cool, calm little dude who, at 14 months of age, has already endured 20 blood transfusions.

The tiny trouper was born with a condition called hereditary spherocytos, meaning the toddler’s body produces round or sphere-like red blood cells.

These break down faster than normal red blood cells, leading to anemia and other medical issues such as an enlarged spleen.

Due to his condition, Noah relies on regular blood transfusions.

So, he also relies on the generosity of blood donors.

Noah’s mother Jamie Spooner says her boy’s first few weeks of life weren’t “smooth sailing”.

He spent time under lamps and with feeding tubes until doctors were able to determine what was wrong.

“Noah was born quite unresponsive and he spent a week in the neonatal unit at SCUH (Sunshine Coast University Hospital),” she says.

“I couldn’t actually hold him ’til he was four days old.

“They did lots of blood tests straight away and worked out he has a condition called hereditary spherocytos.

“At 12 days old, we were back for a

“His spleen is over twice the size of a normal spleen because it’s capturing and breaking down these really rigid blood cells.

“Blood should last in a healthy human about three months but because of his spleen, he gets very anemic very quickly.”

Ms Spooner says the “amazing” paediatric team at SCUH deliver the blood transfusions, which will be required until Noah’s spleen can safely be removed around the age of five.

Until then, she says she is humbled by the generosity of strangers who donate blood, making a difference to Noah’s life and so many other people who require donations.

“You can’t go to a pharmacy and ask for 300mls of B-positive blood,” she says.

“For us, I don’t think I understood how

“He got this really calm, cool demeanour and he is a very happy little guy,” she says.

“He takes all of this in his stride.”

Ms Spooner has created a donation team for Noah and in less than three months, 28 donations have saved the lives of 108 people needing blood.

She says she was thrilled when her work colleagues at the Maroochydore Hutchinson Builders office rolled up their sleeves at the local LifeBlood Centre earlier this month, too.

“There were five first-time donors in one session,” Ms Spooner says.

“That is so awesome.”

IN SERVICE OF THE COMMUNITY

A Sunshine Coast club is celebrating 30 years of charity work that has enriched the lives of thousands through projects, events and programs.

ASunshine Coast Rotary club is celebrating three decades of supporting the local community since its humble beginning with just 27 members.

The Rotary Club of Buderim was born after a vote from the Rotary Club of Mooloolaba to create a new club on September 13, 1993.

Then on March 27, 1994, Rotary International chartered the Rotary Club of Buderim, which today has seen more than

150 members contribute their service to the community.

“While most locals are aware our club organises the Buderim Australia Day activities each year, and they see our blue barbecue trailer at various events, many are not aware of how we have contributed both locally and internationally since the club’s charter,” club president Clive Shepherd says. “Our club focus is always on where we can make a positive difference, and in fact over the years we have raised well over

$500,000 to fund this focus.”

The club has a commitment to improving the health of our community, supporting the Bloomhill Cancer Centre, Buderim Men’s Shed, Queensland flood relief, international aid and much more over the years.

“Whatever the size of the project, whether it be the construction of two shelters in Buderim Forest Park, sandpits at local primary schools or providing medical aids for local residential aged-care facilities, these are the projects that draw club members together with the goal to improve the quality of life in our community,” Mr Shepherd says.

“Our club has always had a strong focus on supporting the youth in our community, from participating in the Roadside Youth Driver Awareness program for local senior students to sponsoring students to attend the National Youth Science Forum, the Rotary Youth Leadership Award and Rotary Program of Enrichment.

“The positive difference these programs have on our young people is evident when they return to our club to thank us. It really is very rewarding.”

Buderim Rotary meets Fridays at 12.30pm at Buderim Tavern for lunch and a guest speaker. Members do not have to attend every meeting. Guests are welcome. Visit rotaryclubofbuderim.com.

WORK TO START ON NEW SCHOOL DROP-OFF ZONE

Work its set to begin on a new stop, drop and go area in a school-zone bottleneck in the hope of easing congestion.

The drop-off zone will improve safety for students at Coolum State School and will be located on School Road, away from the intersection with Yandina-Coolum Road, to avoid cars trailing back on the roundabout during peak periods. It will also include 10 new parking spaces.

Coolum State School principal Anthony Ryan has been working with the school’s SafeST committee, Sunshine Coast Council and the Department of Transport and Main Roads to upgrade the drop-off area, with work to be undertaken in the Easter school holidays.

“I am grateful for all the hard work of our SafeST committee, the P&C and the community who’ve been working together on this plan for some time,” Mr Ryan says.

“This is the first stage of implementing our new masterplan which will see all our flood-prone demountables replaced with a brand-new building that will accommodate a new admin, tuckshop and 12 classrooms.”

He says the work will complement upgrades to the intersection with Yandina-Coolum Road, which will see the roundabout replaced with a signalled intersection.

INITIATIVE’S GOAL IS RESPECT FOR UMPIRES

A local sporting body has taken a stand against abuse of an essential component of the game before it unfairly nets more victims.

One of the Sunshine Coast’s largest sporting organisations is launching a Respect 4 Umpires (R4U) initiative following a verbal-abuse incident that caught the public’s attention last year. With 190 umpires aged from 10 doing

their duty, the Sunshine Coast Netball Association (SCNA) felt compelled to do something about the unwarranted abuse by players, parents and coaches.

The idea has since gained the support of many local businesses and high-profile personalities, including Sunshine Coast

Lightning players. Debbie Battaglini, club spokesperson and the key driver of the R4U initiative, says the incident in June 2023 shone a spotlight on the disrespect and abuse directed towards umpires.

However, she says it was not a stand-alone incident, leading the association to develop the R4U initiative.

“Sadly, it’s something that happens all too often across many sporting codes and clubs with umpires being abused and disrespected and it’s just not on,” Ms Battaglini says.

“We will not stand by and let this continue to happen.

“So, we created the Respect 4 Umpires initiative to change the behaviour of spectators, players and coaches towards umpires.

“Everyone deserves respect, and we’ll make sure the umpires get it.

“SCNA hosts 10,000 games of netball a year with over 60,000 spectators and every single one of those games needs an umpire.

“We are working hard to ensure every umpire, as well as members and guests of our club, feels safe and respected here, and we won’t tolerate anyone who doesn’t follow the values and rules of our association.”

SCNA umpire convenor Gabby Parker says umpire disrespect has long been a

hot topic without a solution.

“There’s been a lot of talk about this issue, but until our R4U initiative, the answer has always been to just build the resilience of umpires,” she says.

“It’s always been a given that disrespect comes with the territory but it shouldn’t be.”

The R4U initiative is a combination of awareness, education and on-the-ground support in the form of dedicated welfare officers in white high-visibility vests watching over the games.

“Umpires will be given white flags and they can raise them if they feel they are being disrespected,” Ms Parker says.

“Welfare officers will then come to the aid of the umpires waving a white flag and will diffuse the situation and go through the complaints and warning process if required.

“People can get swept up in the competition, forgetting that umpires are people with feelings, too.”

Launching on May 4, the R4U initiative will continue throughout the netball season.

“We hope to see our program roll out across all clubs and even all sporting codes because we believe everyone deserves respect and we’ve developed a clear way to remind and enforce respectful behaviour,” Ms Battaglini says.

REPAIRS PROGRESS ON FLOOD-DAMAGED ROADS

Hinterland communities impacted by rain events which caused a series of road defects are progressively being reconnected as a range of reconstruction projects gather momentum.

Repairs to numerous unsealed roads damaged during the 2022 flooding events across the Sunshine Coast are on track to be completed by June this year, weather dependent.

Since the region was hit hard by severe weather events in February and May 2022, Sunshine Coast Council has been busy assessing and fixing public assets across the region.

The most-impacted local areas during the weather event were Bald Knob, Wootha, Glenview, Eudlo, Coolum, Peachester, Montville and Towen Mountain.

Council has been working with the Queensland Reconstruction Authority to secure the funding to reconstruct damaged roads and other civil assets with assistance from the jointly funded Commonwealth and State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).

Council is progressively rebuilding damaged unsealed roads totalling almost 250,000 square metres, which would cover more than 980 tennis courts, through the DRFA.

Walk of wonder: where to find a path to adventure

From secret coves to vibrant promenades, the Coastal Pathway offers picturesque stretches of winding paths hugging the shoreline with parks, lakes, beaches and bushland dotted along the way.

The Sunshine Coast Coastal Pathway is 73km long and stretches from Bells Creek in the south to Coolum in the north.

The pathway is split into nine segments, called connections, and links our beaches, parks and leisure areas. Whether you’re looking for a half day cycling adventure or a beachside stroll, there is something for everyone.

Military Jetty Golden Beach to Bells Creek Boat Ramp – This delightfully peaceful and secluded section offers an enjoyable short stroll with a shaded

pathway. Take in the beauty of the Pumicestone Passage and Bribie Island from Military Jetty by stopping to enjoy a picnic.

Bokarina Boulevard Park to Warana Beach – Offering an enjoyable shaded and slightly hilly path, this section of the pathway is nestled between popular surf beaches and the coastal dunal system. Finish off your walk or bike ride by soaking in the sea breeze at the lookout shelter at Wyanda Park.

Walk around Lake Currimundi – Start your day at the popular entrance to

Currimundi Lake by cooling down in the calm waters. Continue on along to the naturally shaded Crummunda Park nestled on the bank of the lake.

Coolum (Tickle Park) to Point Perry and Second Bay Lookout – Start at Tickle Park, right on the beachfront, with a popular patrolled surf beach and across the road from the main shopping precinct. Follow the wide Coolum boardwalk as it hugs the coastline to Point Perry while taking in the stunning ocean views from Peregian and the Noosa Headland to First Bay and rocky bluffs.

OUR LOCAL ARTISTS WANT YOUR ‘PEOPLE’S CHOICE’ VOTE

Here is your opportunity to see 40 local artworks and vote for your favourite for a chance to win a $50 gallery store voucher.

Artists are vying for the prestigious $10,000 Best in Show Acquisitive Award, with winners sharing in $17,000 in prizemoney, thanks to this year’s sponsors: Mary Henzell Investments, Localvolts, Geoff Lyons Solicitors and Friends of the Gallery.

One of the most-coveted awards is the People’s Choice Award, which gallery visitors can vote for during the exhibition or at gallery.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au to go in the draw to win a $50 gallery store gift voucher.

Sippy Downs’ cycle and pedestrian network’s ‘missing link’

New shared pathway offers safe, well-lit passage for all users between neighbourhoods, separate from the vehicle bridge.

Anew, three-metre wide, stand-alone pedestrian and cycle bridge will span the Sunshine Motorway, connecting Buderim and Sippy Downs providing a safe passage between the education precincts.

Sunshine Coast Council’s Liveability and Natural Assets group executive Bill Haddrill says projects like this are essential for ensuring the neighbouring communities can actively move about safely.

“The new bridge will be separate from the vehicle bridge and will provide a shared pathway for bicycle riders and pedestrians to use for commuting or leisure,” Mr Haddrill says.

“The pathway on the existing vehicle bridge will be removed and the bridge reconfigured to provide on-road cycle lanes on both sides.

“Importantly, the works provide a safe route over the Sunshine Motorway for residents and students making their way to the nearby Sippy Downs and Buderim schools, UniSC (University of the Sunshine Coast) or the local shops.

“Construction started this month and is anticipated to be completed by late 2024. The new bridge has been architecturally designed with decorative elements that complement the surrounding area and are influenced by the local forest canopy and birds.”

At night, the bridge will be softly lit to ensure safety and clear sight lines for all users. The project is proudly supported by the Queensland Government’s Cycle Network Local Government Grants program and Sunshine Coast Council.

MACKNOWLEDGING GOODNESS

Jane Stephens encourages us to look around and see the best of humanity and random acts of kindness taking place everywhere.

any are the mentions of humanity going to hell in a handbasket. Road ragers, price gougers and young people gone bad steal the limelight and crowd centre stage.

Fewer are the acknowledgements of the acts of goodness done. Perhaps they are too quiet, too gentle in cacophony of daily life to often be noticed. But on the Sunshine Coast recently, they abounded: not so much random acts of kindness as the best of humanity, quietly writ large.

The community noticeboard pages on social media – places where human gold crouches modestly among the goods and service exchanges – heaved with them.

There was a man who found a DeWalt toolbox on Hunchy Road and posted about it on the Sunshine Coast Community Board. A Sunshine Beach High School student called Max who found a phone (and cards and cash) on the 626 bus and located the distressed owner by posting about it on the Noosa Community Notice Board. Lost rings. Found pets. Solutions sought by sharing. Good people connected together.

I recently took part in the Mooloolaba Triathlon, where 5000 or so entrants were

executing the final act of their personal physical challenge after months of training. The weather and conditions made it tough, and behind the statistics were some amazing human stories.

Eric Cook, aged 81, who completed the course faster than many half his age; the para athletes who worked around their disabilities to swim, ride and run with breathtaking strength and courage.

The fit 50-something athlete at the swim start next to me, who had a pacemaker inserted just six weeks earlier after her heart stopped. Her starting line nerves shadowed a lionheart, and her gratitude at simply being alive was palpable. The volunteers breathe life and give form to this and other events such as the Disabled Surfers days and Sunshine Coast Marathon. No volunteers, no event. Their encouragement and help on the day are priceless.

As I got on a 615 bus to go home from work the other day, I was greeted by possibly the sunniest driver on the planet.

“Good afternoon!” he beamed. “Hope you’ve had a great day.” He greeted every passenger this way. Simple kindness. Warm connections. They are enough to make the hardest heart feel glad.

WWAKING UP TO SIMPLICITY

Sami Muirhead is drinking in small pleasures as she rediscovers the charms of an old coffee favourite and takes her time enjoying her morning cuppa.

hen it comes to my daily ritual, I have gone rogue and returned to basics. And I could not be happier.

My friend gifted me a tin of Bushells instant coffee. It is the brown tin of coffee you find on the very bottom shelf, hidden out of the way at supermarkets because it is probably considered very daggy. Let me tell you, people, I am loving the old tin treat at dawn daily. I feel quite smug not ordering a double-shot latte at a café.

About 35 years ago, I started a job at a fancy coffee shop. I learnt how to whisper to the expensive barista machine and whip up all sorts of extraordinary orders, including one for a customer who came in at the same time every single day and ordered a large soy milk cappuccino, with an extra shot, extra chocolate on top, extra hot and extra froth to the side. Extra embarrassing in my opinion. Depresso not expresso.

But I became a coffee snob and have stayed that way for three-and-a-half decades. Every day, I’d splurge and buy my latte at my local café because I was a

coffee wannabe social climber. Locking down a cup of Joe ruled my life with my insatiable craving needing to be filled first thing every morning. That meant putting on a bra and a smile, getting in the car and ordering my hit of coffee. And half the time, to be honest, I drank that takeaway coffee as if it was a shot to be downed at a

“I drank that takeaway coffee as if it was a shot to be downed at a bar ...”

bar in a rush.

But not now. Bushells is my new bestie. I am saving time and money by slowly sipping my beans at home. It feels good to come back to my roots because I drank instant coffee for a long time when it was just Mum and I living together.

Such a small thing is a big thing in life for me. Next thing you know, I will be back to the Eighties, eating Viennetta ice cream for desert while watching Miami Vice.

DO EVs LACK REGULATIONS?

Greg Spinda sees a bumpy road ahead for those purchasing secondhand electric vehicles when it comes to consumer protection and safety.

The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) in Australia presents both promise and peril, as highlighted by Greg Spinda, a partner at compensation law firm Travis Schultz & Partners.

Despite a record 15,000 EV sales in 2023, concerns loom over the lack of regulatory framework to address safety and consumer-protection issues.

Mr Spinda emphasises the urgency of addressing critical gaps in Australian law pertaining to EVs, particularly concerning consumer guarantees and end-of-life disposal.

Recent reports in the Australian Financial Review underscore the challenges faced by unsuspecting EV buyers.

These include near accidents, limited battery life and unresponsive manufacturers. While EV sales surge globally, Australia’s market share remains modest at seven per cent, lagging behind the 18 per cent global average. However, the year-on-year increase in battery EVs is notable, signalling a shift towards eco-friendly transportation.

Mr Spinda advocates for robust

regulations to safeguard consumers purchasing secondhand EVs, addressing concerns such as roadworthiness checks, consumer guarantees, battery life expectancy and recycling protocols.

With an average battery lifespan of eight years and substantial replacement costs, comprehensive laws are imperative to guide the burgeoning EV market.

Moreover, the looming challenge of end-of-life management underscores the need for sustainable practices to mitigate environmental impact.

Mr Spinda warns against the potential consequences of neglecting EV recycling efforts, citing the environmental significance of materials such as nickel, lithium and cobalt.

“We need to call for proactive measures from policymakers and safety regulators to ensure the safety, longevity and environmental sustainability of the EV industry,” Mr Spinda says.

“Without adequate regulations, the transformative potential of EVs risks being undermined by safety concerns and environmental degradation.”

Greg Spinda is a Travis Schultz & Partners senior lawyer and compensation law expert.

SHREDDING STEREOTYPES

World Down Syndrome Day highlights abilities over disabilities.

Businesses from across the Sunshine Coast and beyond trust Katie Steffans and Cameron McNamee with some of their most-confidential secrets.

The two are employed at Maroochydore Business Solutions: a social enterprise run by Endeavour Foundation, where employees with disability collect, transport and then shred their clients’ documents beyond all recognition before sending them to be recycled.

March 21 marks World Down Syndrome Day and this year’s theme is: ‘End the stereotypes’ – a message Katie and Cameron agree with.

They live with Down syndrome and they’re not just ending stereotypes, they’re shredding them.

Katie, who unloads confidential documents to the conveyor belt and is being trained to use the baler, says she has abilities, too.

“People with Down syndrome are very nice people,” Katie says.

“They can do anything.

“I love to come [to Endeavour Foundation] and make new friends.”

Before documents can be destroyed, they need to be collected, which is where Cameron comes in.

He says he loves working alongside his friend Mark Swift, whom he calls “the big fella”, as they drive around the region together, collecting and dropping off document bins.

“We pick up the bins from the hospital on Wednesday morning. I have a good time [in the van] and meeting new

people,” Cameron says.

Mark drives the Endeavour Foundation truck on document bin collection runs, and Cameron picks up the full bins and replaces them with empty ones.

He says working with Cameron has shown him how capable people with Down syndrome can be.

“It’s just like anything in the world,” he says.

“If you give someone a chance to prove themselves, they will. Cameron’s taught me a lot about things that I never thought I’d learn – like the empathy that he shows and the love of his family.”

In partnership with the business community, Endeavour Foundation creates a variety of employment and training opportunities for National Disability Insurance Scheme participants through its network of social enterprises.

EMBRACING LIFE’S SECOND CHAPTER AT GREENWOOD

In the heart of a lush oasis lies Greenwood Forest Glen: a boutique over-50s community providing luxury home comforts, beautifully private natural surroundings, and easy access to the best in lifestyle and health facilities.

The success of previous stages is a testament to the unique allure of this premium development. Yet, no story captures the essence of the community quite like that of Peter and Margaret Hanwright, among the first residents.

Peter and Margaret’s adventure with Greenwood began in October 2020 when they purchased Site 13: a charming double-storey home nestled against the community garden.

Moving in 12 months later, they became pioneers of a vision that was just taking shape out of a construction

site. Their decision stemmed from recognising the unique potential offered by the location and connectivity to lifestyle and health – particularly the recreation hub Club Eden.

Fast forward to March 2024, and Greenwood boasts more than 100 completed homes.

The Hanwrights seized the opportunity to upgrade to a new two-storey home in The Heights: an exclusive collection of 13 residences offering elevated northern views and overlooking the stunning forest conservation reserve. Upon settling into Greenwood’s 100th residence, the Hanwrights’ story exemplifies the thriving spirit of the community. They are living proof that Greenwood delivers on its promise of a fulfilling life surrounded by nature and like-minded individuals.

The couple attended an open day event at the community. “I intended to talk Jenny out of it,’’ Mr Rook laughed.

“But the villa was absolutely beautiful, and I couldn’t find anything about it I didn’t like.’’

They chose a newly finished twobedroom villa with a multi-purpose room, double garage, outdoor entertainment area and a grassed garden.

Sales manager Aimee King says residents are thriving in the village’s relaxed lifestyle after leaving behind their high-maintenance homes.

“The vibrant community is perfectly situated 15 minutes from the sandy beaches of Mooloolaba and 20 minutes from the lush hinterlands and bustling shopping paradise of Sunshine Plaza,’’ Ms King says.

“With the added benefits of resortstyle facilities, including an outdoor pool, gym, salon, function room, library, media room, bocce court and communal vegetable gardens, residents of Sunset Palms have everything they need on their doorstep.

“The latest stage of villas is 90 per cent sold out, with just a handful of twobedroom and three-bedroom floorplans still available.”

The community, nestled in a private corner of the master-planned Harmony residential estate, is surrounded by 130 hectares of green space and extensive walking trails.

Sunset Palms is located at 58 Harmony Boulevard, Palmview, with the final available villas priced from $560,000.

HEARING LOSS CAN BE DAUNTING EXPERIENCE

One of our clients shared their thoughts on living with hearing loss, and it really hit home.

They didn’t like how some places just tried to sell them expensive hearing aids instead of really helping. Here’s what they wanted us to know:

Hearing loss is like solving a puzzle all the time. Imagine playing Wheel of Fortune but some letters are missing.

That’s what it’s like trying to understand what people are saying when you can’t hear well. It’s not easy, and it’s definitely not as simple as it seems for people with normal hearing.

They also wanted to make it clear that mishearing doesn’t mean they’re dumb or rude. Sometimes they might not catch everything or respond the way you expect, but it’s just because they didn’t hear it correctly.

Another thing they wanted to clear up is that hearing aids aren’t like glasses. They don’t just make everything clear. They require time to get used to and they also need a clinician who understands your needs and how to reflect them with adjustment.

Most importantly, they want to be treated with respect. They don’t need others to talk for them just because they

have trouble hearing. And they shared some tips for better communication, such as facing them when you speak, making sure they can see your lips, and getting their attention before you start talking. It’s all about understanding and respecting each other.

SKIN HEALTH

Thorough skin cancer testing

Every day, thousands of skin lesions are reviewed at the SunLife Skin Cancer Care Centre.

Last week alone, there were nine melanomas, 16 squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), more than 50 basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and many pre-cancers in need of treatment.

So, how do we test for skin cancers and know we’ve picked the right ones?

We identify concerning lesions using a dermatoscope (skin scope) and then send a biopsy (skin sample) to the pathologist to review under a microscope.

We can take skin biopsies in different ways: shave (graze of the upper layers), punch (core of the full depth) or excision (cut out the whole lesion).

Experienced skin cancer doctors select the best biopsy type based on multiple factors, including the type of lesion, the location, likely cosmetic outcome and the patient’s individual circumstances.

Where it is appropriate, some cancers can be treated at the time of the biopsy, avoiding a second procedure or treatment.

SunLife has extensive experience in skin cancer care with dedicated doctors and a friendly care team to support and help you stay safe from skin cancer.

Sutureless Pterygium Surgery

Sutureless pterygium surgery has undergone remarkable advancements and innovations, revolutionising the treatment landscape for patients suffering from this common ocular condition.

Pterygium, characterised by a benign growth on the conjunctiva, can lead to discomfort, visual disturbances and aesthetic concerns if left untreated.

Traditionally, pterygium removal involved suturing techniques, which posed risks such as inflammation, discomfort and astigmatism.

One significant innovation in sutureless pterygium surgery is the utilisation of tissue adhesive, such as fibrin glue, to secure conjunctival grafts in place.

This technique eliminates the need for sutures, reducing surgical time, minimising post-operative complications and providing patients with a safer, more comfortable experience.

Additionally, advancements in surgical instruments and techniques have enabled precise dissection and removal of pterygium tissue while preserving the integrity of the surrounding ocular structures.

Sutureless techniques are increasingly becoming the standard of care, offering patients a safer, more-efficient and cosmetically pleasing treatment option for pterygium management.

More than one way to handle arthritis

Hip and knee replacement surgery is a major focus at Sunshine Coast Orthopaedic Group.

These are effective operations for appropriate patients who have failed conservative management.

One of the most-important, conservative measures that we typically recommend for patients is physiotherapy.

On the Sunshine Coast, we are spoiled with choice for excellent physiotherapists.

One of the programs that a physio may recommend for management of an osteoarthritic hip or knee is called GLAD.

This is an evidence-based program developed in Denmark and brought to Australia in 2016.

GLAD stands for Good Life with Arthritis in Denmark.

The principles have helped thousands of Australians living with arthritis.

It is important to note that the goal of conservative arthritis management is not simply to avoid surgery. It is to give you the best quality of life possible, while appropriately deferring surgery.

Conservative arthritis management involves a multi-disciplinary approach including simple analgesia, lifestyle modification, diet and exercise, injectable therapies and sometimes a minor procedure called a radiofrequency ablation of the genicular nerves.

A neurosurgical emergency

The nerves that provide motor and sensory function to the pelvic organs and legs are called the cauda equina.

They are a continuation of the spinal cord and are located within the spinal canal in the lumbar spine.

Cauda equina syndrome, occurs when there is compression of these nerves, either by osteoarthritis or a large disc herniation.

This is a neurosurgical emergency and requires surgical decompression.

Symptoms are: urinary retention and incontinence; saddle numbness including the genitals and anus; sexual dysfunction; pain or weakness in the lower limbs; and a foot drop.

Cauda equina syndrome is usually diagnosed with a neurological physical exam, MRI and CT scan and requires emergency surgical intervention to decompress the nerves and give the patient the best chance of recovery.

If left untreated, cauda equina syndrome can result in permanent paralysis or incontinence.

If these symptoms are of concern, arrange a referral to a neurosurgeon through your GP or present to your nearest emergency department for assessment.

LEGAL

For your pains, trouble and inconvenience …

Have you accepted the role of Executor of a deceased person’s estate? Depending on the nature, size and value of the assets within the estate, you might quickly learn the role can be quite complex. It can involve a significant amount of time and effort in:

• Identifying the deceased’s assets and “calling them in”;

• Paying estate debts – including ascertaining what tax liabilities exist; and

• Distributing the estate.

You might also get to deal with some estate disputes and lawyers along the way!

An Executor is entitled to claim commission for their “pains, trouble and inconvenience” of acting in that role. The amount of Executor’s commission can be agreed upon between the Executor and the beneficiaries of the estate. If no agreement can be reached, it will be necessary for the Executor to apply to the Court. How much commission is paid depends on a number of factors. In broad terms, the Court will look at the time and effort the Executor has committed to administering the estate and what is “just and reasonable”.

Oh, don’t forget the Tax Man generally considers commission received to be taxable income! If you’re considering claiming commission, you might want to get some legal advice!

HOROSCOPES

ARIES (MAR 21 - APR 19)

Monday’s pre-Easter lunar eclipse lights up your partnership zone. So, this week, focus maximum attention on the special loved ones in your life. It’s also time to get the balance right between invigorating independence and cosy togetherness.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)

The lunar eclipse fires up your tempestuous nature, so you’ll feel amped up and ready to perform. But don’t let overconfidence (and over-exuberance) trip you up. You’ll find collaboration (especially at work) will take you a lot further than going solo.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)

The sun and Mercury are transiting through your leisure-and-pleasure zone, while the lunar eclipse activates your hopes-and-wishes zone, so smart Sagittarians will start dreaming and planning a bigger and better life now.

QUIZ

1. In which country is the State Hermitage Museum located?

2. Who was vice-president of the United States when Abraham Lincoln held office?

3. Alan Rickman (pictured) played which character in the Harry Potter film series?

4. In what year was the fall of the Berlin Wall?

5. Released in 2020, Future Nostalgia was the second studio album from which artist?

6. Rockford Peaches is the name of a sporting team in which movie?

7. In which country is the national public holiday Mountain Day celebrated?

8. What is typically the main ingredient of the pearls in bubble tea?

TAURUS (APR 20 - MAY 20)

Are you stuck in a Taurean rut? Have you been too stubborn to embrace change? This week’s lunar eclipse shakes up your daily routine zone. Adventurous Jupiter and innovative Uranus also inject fresh energy and enthusiasm into your day-to-day life.

VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)

With four planets dashing through your partnership zone, the more diplomatic, caring and compassionate you are, the better your relationships will be. Monday’s pre-Easter lunar eclipse stimulates your self-esteem and money zone.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)

Do your best to be sensitive to the needs of others. The pre-Easter lunar eclipse stirs up relationship insecurities (especially at home and work) and you may have to handle someone with kid gloves. Keep your cool, as you participate in some difficult conversations.

9. What art form was Marcel Marceau known for?

10. Which two NBA teams have won the most championships, with 17 apiece?

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)

With four planets powering through your work zone, a professional matter or a volunteer project is taking up most of your precious time at the moment. If it’s too much to handle on your own, then don’t hesitate to ask for assistance from your peer group.

LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)

The pre-Easter lunar eclipse is in your sign, so do your best to be fair and balanced as you appreciate differing viewpoints. But is your love-life stuck on autopilot? It’s time to blast away the cobwebs and look at things from a fresh angle.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)

With the lunar eclipse activating your wanderlust zone, many restless Aquarians will feel cooped up, housebound and a bit stir-crazy. So pull on your travelling shoes and escape on an Easter getaway or plan an adventurous trip for sometime soon.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)

Crabs are the natural nurturers of the zodiac, but looking after loved ones won’t be easy as you juggle your busy personal and professional lives. Monday’s lunar eclipse falls in your domestic zone, so it’s a good week to clean and declutter your living space.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)

Monday’s lunar eclipse favours meditation, contemplation, relaxation and investigation as you solve a problem or get to the bottom of a perplexing mystery. However, if you stubbornly hang onto the past and resist change, you’re in for a rocky ride.

PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)

The pre-Easter lunar eclipse highlights a close relationship, shared finances or a joint venture. Secrets and issues of loyalty could also be placed under the microscope, as you discover whether your trust in someone has been well-placed.

DRIVING RANGE PROPOSAL ‘ON PAR WITH NEEDS’

A development company’s plan to create 1200 new dwellings in the heart of our region’s education hub aims to help ease the current housing crisis.

Adevelopment application has been submitted to Sunshine Coast Council to divide the Chancellor Park Golf Driving Range at Sippy Downs into 12 land parcels.

Sunshine Coast development company RM Developments has managed the range, which is set on a 4.19-hectare (10.34-acre) lot since 2021.

The company stated in a media release that there was the potential to deliver 1200 new dwellings and significantly ease the current housing crisis on the Sunshine Coast.

Director Josh Myers says the property was purchased because the company recognised the strength of the emerging community in the growing Sippy Downs precinct, which is centred around the University of the Sunshine Coast.

“The subdivision approval being sought is of strategic, long-term importance to the Sippy Downs masterplan,” he says.

He says there has already been significant interest in the site.

The property, at 15 Sippy Downs

Drive, is situated close to the university and within the Sippy Downs Town Centre: a zone that allows for highdensity accommodation.

It has wide frontages to Sippy Downs Drive and the Sunshine Motorway.

The zoning encourages significant population densities with maximum building heights of 25m, though there is provision for taller buildings on some corner sites.

Buildings would typically be

“The subdivision approval being sought is of strategic, longterm importance ...

apartments or townhouses, but other permitted uses include residential care, retirement facilities and student

accommodation. While approvals are being progressed, the company says it has no immediate plans to commence construction in the short term. The operator of the driving range has recently negotiated a new two-year lease.

RM Developments, which has 23 projects between South Brisbane and Airlie Beach with a gross realisation of more than $850 million, is developing two other sites in Sippy Downs.

A SOHO development at 310 University Way is under construction, while development approval has been granted for another 89-apartment project in Spring Street.

RM Developments has a range of projects and asset classes across Queensland, in partnership with highnet-worth individuals, family offices, ASX-listed companies and industry superannuation funds.

Sippy Downs has grown dramatically since the university opened in 1994.

The suburb is the region’s established education hub, with Siena Catholic College and Chancellor College situated within 1.5km of the site.

‘Mitta Glen’ is an elegant and grand residence, sitting gracefully on a beautiful 1.5 acres of parklike grounds. Gorgeous character home within a quick commute to Montville, Mapleton and the beautiful Sunshine Coast beaches.
