The team at My Weekly Preview has received so many supportive emails thanking us for the magazine, so we thought it was time we said a big thank you to all our readers and advertisers for your amazing support.

T H A N K

Better resultsWe have been very pleased with the results from My Weekly Preview. The response has been much more noticeable than where we advertised previously. We received more feedback in the fi rst eight weeks of MWP than we did over the preceding year of advertising.

Mark Davidson, Ord Minnett

Local strengthWe get direct results, with our clients bringing the adverts in. Combined with the WWOL business approach, we are an ultimate duo in the Sunshine Coast region, best of all WWOL is locally owned and so is MWP. How good is this – BUY LOCAL SUPPORT LOCAL!

Stephen Camilleri, Wide World of Lights Superstore

What a teamOur recent auction at Baanya Street, Wurtulla certainly highlighted how effective promotion makes a big difference to the result. A four-week campaign exclusively in MPP delivered 21 groups through the open homes, an offer prior to auction day, 27 people in attendance with four registered bidders making 20 bids that netted the sellers a sale under the hammer $35K over the reserve. RE/MAX Property Services and MPP – what a team.

Andy Camm, RE/MAX Property Services

Great feedbackThe weekend of our fi rst insertion in My Weekly Preview we received really good feedback from new and existing customers and even holiday-makers that had picked up a copy and visited the store, which is great for business. We are now on our fi fth advert and fi nd it a pleasure to work with the team – they make advertising stress free and the ads work.

Sam and Naresh, Akasha Furniture & Homewares

Reaching readersI love the way my property appears in your magazine and it turns out so do your readers! All but one inspection has come as a result of the campaign. Those looking included Victorian holiday-makers staying at the local caravan park, Brisbane buyers whose friends alerted them to my apartment after seeing it in your magazine and people from Toowoomba who picked up the magazine on their last visit.

Robyn, happy vendor

Business improvesThanks My Weekly Preview – I received a fantastic response to my advertising, not only did it improve our brand awareness but we saw a direct increase of around 20 per cent in our shirt laundering service. I would certainly use My Weekly Preview for my advertising again.

Prue Byrnes, Bundilla Drycleaners

A great startLaunching a new business, and off to a great start with good results from My Weekly Preview – bookings are already in place.

Sam Gregory, Gold Training Pty Ltd

MWP worksThanks to a combination of good internet advertising and fantastic exposure to buyers through My Weekly Preview, we recently had some great results, especially for my sellers in Aroona. A four-week campaign brought 33 buyers to four open homes and we had 14 private inspections. With this exposure and buyer competition of course the result was a sale. PRINT ADVERTISING WORKS.

More successMy Weekly Preview continues to be one of the leading and successful elements of our marketing strategy at Sunshine Cove. Time and time again, we have found this publication to deliver us the best results with locals and visitors alike taking the time to read the publication cover to cover. On a personal level, we recently advertised our home in MWP. Even our agent commented on the quality and number of enquiries. We sold during our second week advertising. Thanks again MWP.

Penny Service, Sunshine Cove

Working togetherThanks to the team at My Weekly Preview. We are very happy with the presentation of the magazine, the publication is fresh and is a great way for us to educate or clients in an entertaining and informative read. We are pleased with the response and look forward to working with you in the future.

The team at Lavish

Great standardsWe were MPP fans and now are MWP fans! Enquiry has trebled during our auction campaign with MWP and all our inspections have been generated through the magazine. We are impressed with the high standard of presentation!

Clint and Sarah, happy vendors

Fantastic resultsAnother fantastic auction result at 4 Canmaroo Avenue, Nambour thanks to MWP. Four ads yielded 60-plus inspections and fi ve registered bidders with the property sold under the hammer on the day! The buyer and sellers were stoked with the result!

Chris Pace & Trevor Jones, Next Property Group

An ideal magazineWe have been dealing with the MWP team since the launch of their new, weekly lifestyle magazine My Weekly Preview earlier this year. The magazine has defi nitely fi lled the gap that existed for Sunshine Coast businesses, and provides a great mix of local news and other quality content, making this an ideal magazine for our weekly advertising.

I don’t know about you but I’ve had a hard time getting into the Olympic spirit this time around. Maybe it’s the weather

– everyone seems a bit grumpy lately – or maybe it’s because London is so far away, but I haven’t been keeping up with news on the athletes and the event. That was until we started working on the special Olympic-themed edition of MWP.

Last week I managed to drag myself out of the offi ce to take a week off and I didn’t open a newspaper or log onto the internet while I was away, so when I popped back into the offi ce on Monday, it felt like I’d been away for a month.

Suddenly the Olympics is upon us. And I’m looking forward to it. I lived in London for a couple of years in my early 20s, and I am a bit jealous of the people who’ll be there. It would be a great time to hang out in the old

city. If it’s one thing the Poms do well it’s pomp and circumstance, so I reckon the world could be in for quite a treat.

This week in our cover story we take a look at the athletes with a link to our region who will be representing Australia. That’s on page 8. Over on page 30 we have a special four-page Olympic preview, so read up on that before tuning in to the opening ceremony tomorrow morning.

In our agenda on page 24 we investigate the human need to push boundaries and break records – a timely read considering all the sporting records we’ll no doubt see broken in the coming weeks.

Over in MPP on page 46, we investigate buying property using super, and there are motoring reviews, more on the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network Awards, and lots of local news.

PLAYING TOWIN

PREVIEWThe Sunshine Coast will be well-represented in London, with 12 athletes with connections to the Coast set to contest the Olympic Games.The athletes cover a range of sports – swimming, rowing, kayaking, pole vaulting, water polo, cycling and hockey.

JODIE SCHULZ, HOCKEY24-year-old Coast student Jodie Schulz will contest her fi rst Olympic Games when she heads to London, but she is no stranger to world competition. In recent months she has clocked up fi rst placings at the 2012 Four Nations Tournaments and the 2012 Test Series contested in Australia and the US. Schulz names among her career highlights to date competing at the 2011 Champions Trophy in Amsterdam – her fi rst major international competition – as well as her National Senior Team selection and receiving an Australian Institute of Sport Scholarship. Schulz made an impressive senior debut. Playing in the Four Nations Tournament in Argentina she scored a goal in the fi nal minute against the world number one team to send the match into overtime, where she scored in the fi rst minute to secure victory for Australia. Her proud parents told media in June there was “no hurdle too big” for their daughter.

SAMANTHA HAMILL, SWIMMINGCoast girl Samanatha Hamill, at just 21, has already competed at Olympic level – she sliced three seconds off her fastest 400m IM time to fi nish second behind Stephanie Rice in the Olympic trials to qualify for Beijing in 2008. There the swimmer also recorded a big personal best in the 200m butterfl y, earing the title of fourth fastest Australian ever behind Jessicah Schipper, Susie O’Neill and Petria Thomas, later placing 12th in

the 200m butterfl y at the Games. She also competed at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi where she recorded a career highlight winning a silver medal in the 400 IM event. The Kawana Waters club member’s silver came just half an hour after disappointingly missing the podium in the 200m butterfl y.

JARROD POORT, SWIMMINGFormer Sunshine Coast Grammar School student Jarrod Poort will make his Olympic debut at the London Games, competing in the 1500m freestyle. At just 17 the swimmer’s debut follows impressive results in the past two years. In March he swam an 11-second personal best to win the 1500m Olympic time trial. Earlier this year he won the fi ve-kilometre event and fi nished third in the 10-kilometre event at the 2012 Open Water National Championships. He chalked up impressive results at the Commonwealth Youth Games in 2011 fi nishing fi rst in the 1500m freestyle in a short-course pool, second in the 400m freestyle and third in the 200m freestyle, also winning two relay gold. The teenager was forced to wait three months for confi rmation he’d qualifi ed for the Games. Media reported earlier this month stated that only if, once all the A-qualifying spots were fi lled, Poort ranked among the top B-qualifi ers, would he be extended a discretionary invitation by the International Olympic Council. Now training at Wollongong he juggles swimming with his fi nal year of high school.

The 2012 Australian Olympic Team has 410 athletes (224 men and 186 women) with an average age of 26

8.indd 1 7/24/2012 4:33:51 PM

BRITTANY ELMSLIE, SWIMMING18-year-old Brittany Elmslie from Nambour will contest her fi rst Olympics when she heads to London, competing in the 4 x 100 freestyle and 4 x 200m freestyle. Training under Brian Stehr she is a competent swimmer, having competed at the Junior Pan Pacs in 2009 and 2010, collecting gold in the 50m freestyle in 2009 and bronze in the 4 x 100m freestyle. Elmslie, who now lives in Brisbane, has been on the national team for a year.

BILLY MILLER, WATER POLODespite an impressive list of achievements including captaining Australia in 2010 and winning the World University Games in Serbia in 2009, London will be water polo player Billy Miller’s fi rst Olympics. The former Sunshine Coast Grammar student, who is currently studying at the University of the Sunshine Coast, took up water polo when he was just 14, making his senior debut as a 20-year-old at the Beijing test event in 2008. In 2009 he helped Australia clinch a historic gold medal at the World University Games. This year alone he has toasted wins at 2012 FINA World League Asia-Oceania Preliminaries Round 2 in Japan, round 1 in China and the 2012 International Series against USA.

RACHEL LOVELL, CANOE/KAYAKHailing from England and living on the Sunshine Coast Rachel Lovell makes her Olympic debut at London. Interestingly, Lovell came close to competing for Great Britain at the Olympic Games of 2004, dropping out of the running only due to injury. She missed out again in 2008 after falling pregnant. She will return to Britain’s Eton Dorney to train – the place she trained years ago before moving to Australia. She’ll compete in the K-4 500m. She enjoyed wins at the 2012 National Championships and the 2012 Oceania Championships, and names among her career highlights winning bronze at the 2003 European Canoe Championships.

NICK D’ARCY, SWIMMINGFor D’Arcy London 2012 is the culmination of a tough four-year mission to make the grade after his 2008 Olympic dreams were snatched from him. He debuts after being selected in the 200m butterfl y at the 2012 Olympic trials, where he clocked a time just outside his own Australian record and surpassing the 1:55.432 time Michael Phelps posted as the world’s best at that time. D’Arcy overcome a rocky start to 2011, recovering from ankle surgery and a liver illness to make an impressive return to the pool, beating multiple Olympic champion Phelps by 100th of a second in the 200m butterfl y at the Santa Clara International Grand Prix in California. D’Arcy names winning silver at Pan Pacs 2010 and gold at Santa Clara in 2011 among his career highlights.

MELANIE SCHLANGER, SWIMMING25-year-old Melanie Schlanger is competing in her second Olympics, in three freestyle events. The Nambour-born swimmer and former Immanuel Lutheran College student actually walked away from swimming in 2010 due to illness, but after 10 months out of the water she jumped back in for fi tness and discovered a newfound love of the sport. She won the 100-metre freestyle event at the 2012 National Championships. Her third place in the 200 metre race at the same event means she’ll be a force to be reckoned with. The swim team almost didn’t have her – as a child Schlanger wanted to be a high jumper. She started swimming at 13, didn’t take to it and quit. But at 15 she was back in the water.

HANNAH EVERY-HALL, ROWINGHannah Every-Hall will be pumping the guns in the lightweight double sculls this year. The 34-year-old is making her Olympic debut, and it’s been a long road to London. Every-Hall was forced out of competition for a year with an ovary disorder but returned to rowing and was on track to compete in the Athens Olympic trials when she was fl oored by an anaphylactic reaction during a time trial. She was dragged from the water and hospitalised, but had another minor reaction at the next trials. The competitor then started a family but after the birth of her second child, she wanted to reignite her Olympic dream and made her sporting comeback in 2010.

One of the Sunshine Coast’s strongest Olympic hopefuls, D’Arcy has been training in Brisbane under Michael Bohl. At just 25 D’Arcy was quoted recently as saying that after a tumultuous four years he is focused on staying calm.“This 200m butterfl y has been four years in the making,” he says.

TESSA WALLACE, SWIMMINGRoss River Fever and a serious knee injury failed to stop 18-year-old swimmer Tessa Wallace from realising her Olympic dreams. The University of the Sunshine Coast student made her international swimming debut in 2010 at the Commonwealth Games. There, after an impressive performance she snuck in second behind Olympic champion Leisel Jones and ahead of Sarah Katsoulis, meaning gold, silver and bronze medals for Australia. Her swimming ability is perhaps not surprising, given her life-long affi nity with the pool. Growing up in Caloundra she was a fi xture at Caloundra Aquatic Centre where her father taught swimming. Taught to swim as a baby she was competing by age six. Wallace recently came fi rst in the 200m breast stroke at the 2012 National Championships in Adelaide, and names her silver medal win at Delhi her greatest achievement.

ALANA BOYD, ATHLETICSMale pole vaulter Steve Hooker might be the one that’s bringing much of the media attention to the sport, but the women are well represented with Alana Boyd competing in her second Olympics. The former Coast school student moved to Perth from Queensland to train with Hooker and Liz Parnov. She won gold in the Delhi Commonwealth Games two years ago and this year came fi rst in both the Sydney and Perth Track classics. She placed 16th in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, while in February this year she broke the Australian pole vault record with a leap of 4.76 metres at an athletics meet in WA.

SHARA GILLOW, CYCLINGHinterland export Shara Gillow will be jumping on the bike for the road race and individual time trial at this year’s Games. It’s her fi rst Olympics, and the 24-year-old will be following in her father David’s footsteps – he rode in the men’s race in the 1980 Zimbabwe Games. Gillow started cycling only four years ago. The former Nambour Christian College student made her fi rst appearance in competitive cycling in 2010, and she has clocked up a fi rst at the 2012 Australian Road Championsips, a fi rst and a second at the 2012 Oceania Road Championships, and a second at the 2012 Tour of New Zealand. She was named 2011 Australian Female Road Cyclist of the Year.

The Mary Valley Renewal Team has welcomed a State Government blueprint to

rebuild the once-vibrant farming region after the former Labor government’s failed dam bid.

The Mary Valley was left devastated after the Bligh government seized almost 500 properties for the Traveston Crossing Dam, later quashed by then Federal Environment Minister, Peter Garrett.

MVRT spokeswoman Glenda Pickersgill says the community is pleased the new government has taken steps to revive the region.

“At last this is a step forward and certainly what Jeff Seeney has mentioned – that he wants to get the land into private ownership – is good to hear,” Pickersgill says.

Deputy Premier Seeney says the government will create economic opportunities, rather than just sell off land.

Properties will be aggregated and

water rights realigned to create economically viable land units under an initial two-year divestment program, he says.

“There is a lot of work to be done to fi x the fi nancial bungling and huge land buy-up by the previous government,” Seeney says.

The strategy aims to create conditions to enable private sector investment and development.

“The initial phase will see agricultural and other economic land units brought to market to encourage activities such as beef production, horticulture,

dairy and tourism enterprises. Pickersgill welcomed the creation

of local advisory groups to help steer the renewal project. “We hope there will be continued discussion with people on the ground.”

She says the valley is beginning to regain a sense of community, lost after hundreds of families, in some cases those who had lived on the land for generations, moved out under forced land resumptions.

“Getting back to private ownership helps create that sense of community and helps the area move forward,” she says.

Rising electricity costs prompted me to investigate Solar.

So I started to shop around. I had a number of solar companies come around; they were just salesman and didn’t seem to know what they were talking about.

Uni-Industries came recommended, so I gave them a call. When their representative came around, he

explained how the job would be carried out and answered all my questions. I felt comfortable straight away; I had found someone who knew exactly what he was talking about, a tradesman not a salesman. So I had Uni-Industries install a 2KW System. We went away for a few months in winter 2011. Our electricity bill is usually about $1200 a year. This year we are in

credit and received a cheque for $909, was I pleased, yes, I certainly was. My calculations made that investment about 25% return on my money.I have now booked Uni-Industries to upgrade my Solar, to a 5KW System.

THE VOICE STAR TO PLAY COOLUMWORDS Nathan Evans

decided to relocate permanently.“An opportunity came up for

a beautiful house,” says Percival.“We were up here and went

to The Caf at Coolum and had a delicious coffee and met all of the team there and then we went to the pub for lunch and had a few beers at the surf club,” he says.

“I said to my wife that night I could set up a studio in the garage and get a trampoline out the back. I’m calling the removalists.”

The 40-year-old developed a love of music from a young age, later taking up singing and piano.

He forged a living working as a musician for just over two decades, collecting some powerful fans along the way, including Jimmy Barnes who recruited him as a back-up singer and Russell Crowe, who took him on tour.

But it was this year he hit the big time, advancing through each stage of The Voice with mentor Keith Urban.

“I was relieved when it came

down to the decider, not in the sense that I came runner-up, but that it meant from the next day a whole part of my life was over and it was the start of a new beginning,” he says.

Percival’s family fl ew to Sydney each week for the live shows and their support helped spur him on.

“I’m just so happy for my kids. I try every day to be a good man and a great dad.”

Percival says it is vital local music venues on the Coast are protected and encouraged to grow.

“Woodford Folk Festival is a shining light for the area in terms of what it does for Australian music,” he says.

“The entire Coast has some fantastic venues and great rooms to play, there are so many great places and more popping up all the time with some great musicians jamming and recording.

For tickets to the Coolum show visit lighthouseparty.com.au.

Darren Percival, star of Channel 9’s The Voice and a Coolum Beach local, will

return to the Coast next week to perform for his home crowd.

It follows a rapid rise to fame on the popular TV show, where he took out second place behind Karise Eden.

“I can’t wait,” Percival told MWP ahead of the August 4 show at Coolum Beach.

“It will be amazing to play songs for Coolum, we’ll have a party and I hope everyone will get up and sing along. Don’t book a babysitter, bring the kids,” he says.

Percival, his wife and their two kids moved to Coolum in November last year, permanently relocating from Sydney after years of making an annual pilgrimage to the region for the Woodford Folk Festival.

Attracted to the laid-back lifestyle, live music venues such as The Caf and local surf clubs, it was during a stay in Coolum last year the Percivals

2000 CONSTRUCTION JOBS UP FOR GRABS

Premier Campbell Newman wants local companies to compete for work on the $2 billion Sunshine Coast University

Hospital project, set to kick off in October.“There will be sessions held indicating how local

fi rms can get on board with the project and I really suggest people get on board and try and be a part of it,” he says.

“We believe you will see about 1800 to 2000 jobs created through construction,” Newman told media at a press conference announcing successful tender at Nambour Hospital.

Exemplar Health – a consortium that includes Lend Lease, Spotless Group, Capella Capital and Siemens – will build and maintain the hospital for 25 years.

It’s the state’s fi rst private-public partnership hospital, with Newman saying, “You will see a lot of more examples of this approach going

forward under this government.”“The Coast will get a brand-new hospital.

Construction will be completed in 2016 and you’ll see initially 450 beds and 2500 staff, and you’ll see it expanded to 738 beds and 5000 staff by 2021.”

Newman says the new hospital will not replace Nambour.

“It is the responsibility of the new hospital health board, but my understanding of the plan at this stage is that you will see Nambour continue as an acute-care hospital with around 280 beds.

“The big thing is there will be plenty of jobs for people on the front line looking after patients in Queensland health.”

SCUH will offer a range of new and expanded health care services including a new comprehensive cancer centre, complex surgical services including neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery, maxillofacial surgery and a trauma service.

The Skills, Academic and Research Centre will train staff and students with the aim of making locals the workforce of the future.

The Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital, operated by Ramsay Health Care, is a 200-bed private hospital co-located on the SCUH site opening in December 2013.

Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson says the council will conduct information sessions for local business to help them compete for construction and ongoing work.

“At the end of the sessions they will have a ‘where-to-from-here’ checklist that will include

information about future sessions relating to things like how to form potential joint venture partnerships and up-skilling businesses to obtain the necessary quality management systems,” says Jamieson.

“This project – along with others such as the Maroochydore city centre and airport expansion – will be a major boost to the Coast’s economy.”

Newman says: “We’re very excited that after a long wait, the Sunshine Coast will get a world-class hospital that it so desperately deserves.”

WINTER JAMMIES FOR COAST KIDS IN NEEDWinter will be a little warmer for some of the Coast’s less fortunate children this year, thanks to the efforts of kids at Alex-Mooloolaba Community Kindergarten and retailer Target.

Target’s Queensland District manager Gerard Winzenberg

(pictured, centre) agreed to donate two pairs of pyjamas for every pair the kindergarten’s families bought through Target and donated to the kindergarten’s pyjama drive.

Families of the kindy’s 44 kids donated more than 30 pairs of pyjamas as well as winter socks.

With 20 pairs purchased through Target, which then donated 40, more than 80 pairs have been donated to kids whose families are doing it tough this winter.

The kindergarten plans to organise a similar drive annually for the Give Me 5 For Kids project.

FIRST ROUND TABLE TALK A SUCCESS

Sunshine Coast Council says it will repeat a business leaders round table forum following

the success of the fi rst one, held last week.

A spokesman says the frequency of the event, which on Wednesday involved more than 60 Coast business leaders, has not been decided, but the concept has been well received.

WOMAN CHARGEDPolice have charged a 17-year-old woman following an alleged robbery and assault at Battery Hill. Police allege the woman entered a 28-year-old woman’s home on July 13, pushing her to one side and threatening her with a pair of scissors. She is due to appear in court on August 7.

MUSIC LINE-UP FINALISEDARIA award-winner Ben Lee has joined the latest list of artists for the 2012 Caloundra Music Festival, which festival director Richie Eyles has described as “the best line-up yet”. The festival will be held over the weekend of September 28-30.

WORDS Nathan Evansa wish list drawn up during the forum. It was among a range of proposals put forward to help stimulate the Coast’s economy.

Mayor Mark Jamieson says he is optimistic about the Coast’s economic future based on the enthusiasm of participants and interest in the round table.

“At the outset I gave business and industry my commitment that the partnerships we forged yesterday will be valued, supported and respected,” he says.

“To this end, we will take the good ideas that were generated and continue to engage with business and industry representatives as we collectively bring a number of these suggestions to fruition.”

The forum’s suggestions included:• Looking at programs and

regulatory issues to encourage young people to stay in the region.

• Capitalising on the Coast’s events tourism reputation and attracting

more events to the region.• Being clearer about what the

Coast’s competitive advantages are and playing to these strengths.

• Leveraging off existing infrastructure – be it the Big Pineapple or the airport.

“Some of these ideas will be able to be progressed quickly – and where this can happen I am seeking the support of business and industry to make them happen,” Jamieson says.

Chair of the Sunshine Coast Business Council, Sandy Zubrinich, welcomed the mayor’s round table initiative but says the true test of its value will be the action that follows.

“I would like a very clear vision for the Coast and some clear statements from council about how, over the next four years, it is going to start improving the economic performance of the region,” Zubrinich says.

“I’d like to see a really well-defi ned plan, integrated with the State Government.”

MOON ‘LANDING’ ALL IN A DAY’S WORK FOR STUDENTS Three University of the Sunshine Coast students have recently returned from taking part in simulated moon landing exercises at the NASA Space Camp in the United States.

The Primary Education students from Sunshine Coast University, Prue Jones, 33, Hannah Ward, 24, and Renee Laing, 25, have returned to Sippy Downs with a heightened passion for space science after spending fi ve days at the US Space and Rocket Centre’s Space Academy for Educators last month.

The high-achieving students – who were awarded scholarships to


cover travel and camp costs – say they enjoyed many virtual challenges and other scientifi c experiences offered by the camp.

“My role in one of the space missions was to fi x a window on the Aurora Lunar base, so we were decked out in all the astronaut gear, wired up, and communicating with mission control,” Jones says.

Laing says she had enjoyed connecting and learning from the American teachers and staff at Space Camp.

For Ward, the design challenges at camp were the highlight of her trip.

HIGHER,

FASTER,

Around the world in 80 days? That’s a 19th-century science fi ction goal popularised by French author Jules Verne

in his book of the same name.Today, people have their sights on new speed and

distance records, such as the around-the-world hot air balloon fl ight that set a record 10 years ago.

Steve Fossett’s 13-day solo circumnavigation of the world ended on July 2, 2002 and set a record for speed, distance fl own solo in a balloon and distance fl own in a balloon in a 24-hour period. Three years later, Fossett made the fi rst solo nonstop fl ight in a fi xed-wing aircraft without refuelling.

Behavioural researchers say Fossett’s journeys are examples of a very human desire to set a record. They

PREVIEWOnce a record has been set, us humans can’t help ourselves: we have to better it. MWP takes a look at what drives people to risk life and limb to be the best at something – anything.

We are all the ancestors of the winners of competitions. The desire to set a record is genetic, especially among men

[ A G E N D A ]

, FARTHER have identifi ed an increasing desire to achieve top performances in all kinds of things, from naked sledding to offi ce chair racing. Television and the internet are fuelling these ambitions.

Our evolutionary roots lie in the hunters and gatherers of the early Stone Age, when victory in the struggle to survive is what counted most.

Higher, faster, farther – Peter Walschburger, a psychologist at the Free University in Berlin, isn’t surprised by these aims.

“We are all the ancestors of the winners of competitions,” says Walschburger. “The desire to set a record is genetic, especially among men.”

The genetic programming of women is tipped toward desiring sustainability, taking on social responsibility and caring for children.

Men, however, occasionally allow the allure of risk to switch off their sense of reason. The basis of this is that people who are successful in extreme tests of their skill usually also experience extreme happiness, says Walschburger.

This is a feeling that a human wants to have over and over again, an effect that is similar to a dependence on drugs and which accompanies an increased production of sexual hormones. This is what promotes the need to seek records. Fossett was an archetype of this personality. He pursued records in numerous disciplines from swimming to auto racing and from sailing to fl ying.

Today, however, setting a record is not just about a top performance that requires a lot of training and experience. The spectacular achievements of ordinary people make popular subjects for television shows that offer fame

and fortune at the same time. “Humans have a strong craving for recognition and orientate themselves toward such examples,” says Walschburger. “And the internet with sites such as YouTube transmits pictures of every ear wiggler around the world.”

Wippermann says that record-seeking is increasing. The underlying driver in his view is the search for recognition.

Institutions that previously offered people a feeling that they were better off have lost their status – families because of high divorce rates, political parties because of ambiguity, and the church because of societal change.

The result is a certain loss of orientation.“Rankings give us back that feeling that we are

the centre of attention,” says trend researcher Peter Wippermann.

Whether it’s something silly such as cream puff throwing or more serious endeavours such as sailing around the world or walking a tightrope over Niagara Falls is not important.

“The focus is on the interpretation of symbolic action and the logic of going up a rankings system,” Wippermann says.

At Berlin’s Humboldt University, personality psychologist Jens Asendorpf doesn’t believe that today a fun factor is increasing the desire to set records.

“There were Olympic Games back in ancient Greece,” he says. “Humans have always played whenever they could afford to.”

The difference today is that news of records can reach a much larger number of spectators

through the modern media. “Social rewards are increasing due to this,” he says.

“The motives for setting a record haven’t changed, rather the reaction has. The threshold has been lowered because the possibility for social recognition is increasing,” Asendorpf says.

Won’t the records sometime be exhausted because the human body will have reached its limit? Researchers don’t believe so. Records are a dynamic process and there always will be challenges or new rules and technical possibilities.

Walschburger doesn’t want to portray men who like to go after records as nitwits. They might have their cocky attitude, “but the scouting of opportunities and stepping beyond boundaries is what brings people forward”.

That goes as much for astronauts as it does for big thinkers such as Albert Einstein. The trick is to ensure that the extreme situations don’t threaten survival.

Fossett wasn’t so fortunate – he died in 2007 when his aeroplane crashed in the desert near Las Vegas while he was preparing for another record-setting fl ight. DPA

GENTLEMEN PREFER BONDS

The Reserve Bank of Australia has cut the cash rate by from 4.75 per cent to 3.5 per cent

since November 2011 and we expect there to be more cuts.

While this has been a welcome development for borrowers, it is not without its consequences for those retirees trying to live off their savings. The average 12-month term deposit rate has fallen from 6.2 per cent last year to only 4.5 per cent currently. A retiree with $500,000 in term deposits earned on average $31,000 in income last year but will now earn only $22,500. This equates to a rather grim fall of more than 27 per cent in income returns for these retirees relying solely on term deposits.

Investors may feel forced to draw down on their capital to fund their living expenses, in turn making a bad situation worse. One of the fundamental risks investors face is outliving their capital and the ever-decreasing purchasing power from their stagnant capital. So, where should these investors put their money so they can make ends meet?

The disruptions from the global fi nancial crisis over the last few years

Justin Scattini is from Ord Minnett in Buderim

[ B U S I N E S S & F I N A N C E ]

have driven many investors out of shares and into the safety of cash. But it is time to rethink this strategy. The current lower market prices are providing higher yields and a greater margin for safety. Based on the current level of the Australian market, we expect the broad market will yield 5.2 per cent or 6.8 per cent gross in the 2013 fi nancial year.

When compared with the yield on a 10-year Commonwealth Government bond at 2.85 per cent, the share market starts to look good value for investors with an eye to investing over the next decade.

The 10-year bond yield rarely moves below the prospective dividend yield on the market. When it does, it has represented a good point to accumulate shares. In all likelihood, dividends will continue to grow over the decade.

If shares are still too exciting there are relatively safe alternatives, such as the recently listed subordinated notes (retail bonds) which have been issued by ANZ, National Australia Bank and, most recently, Westpac Bank. The Westpac note will pay a quarterly fl oating interest rate of around 2.75 per cent above the 90-day bank bill rate (currently 3.5 per cent). This equals 6.25 per cent for investors who buy at the $100 face value.

The best advice to retirees is to have a diversifi ed portfolio of all of the above and to steer clear of some of the high-interest paying (read: risky) mortgage-backed securities.

The magazine is hand delivered to every business that has a shop front from Beerwah to Pomona (well, almost every business, it’s seems we tend to fi nd new businesses all the time). We are passionate about making a difference to business on the Sunshine Coast. Our vision is to inform, educate, motivate and connect businesses on the coast. The feedback we have got in the last 12 months is evidence that we are indeed seeing this vision come true.

Q. What did winning the award mean to you?A. Winning this award was a great validation for the work we have put in over the last few years. It showed us that we were defi nitely on the right track and that people were enjoying and appreciating what we are doing.

Q. How has it helped your business and profi le?A. Being written about in the local papers and other magazines on the Coast is not normally something

that happens, but winning this award meant in some cases these publications have had to include me, which has meant that people who might not currently read Business Matters magazine may have a look.

Q. What does the future hold?A. The future for print, people say, is not good. I believe that Sunshine Coast business owners and professionals actually enjoy having local products aimed at helping them grow their business and they feel it is a fantastic free tool that they are starting to really understand is all about them and their business. So the future is very good.

A ustralia’s Olympic team boss says it’s now all about attitude.

Nick Green, the Australian Olympic Committee chef de mission, says athletes will be gifted the smoothest of Olympics in London. But, in return, he’s asked they shape the Australian psyche.

“Fundamentally important is: do they believe they can be successful on that stage?” says Green, a dual Olympic rowing champion.

From what he’s seen, they do.“The athletes today don’t put

themselves in a spot of, ‘Well, this is where I should be coming’,” Green says.

“They try to do things that no other Australian athlete has ever done.”

The generational shift in attitude underpins Australia’s Olympic goal of a top-five medal tally finish.

“We genuinely believe if the team performs as we expect, and to their expectations, top five is a realistic option,” Green says.

With funding secure and sponsorship targets hit long ago, Green and his AOC colleagues are ready. Now, he says, it’s over to the athletes to deliver about 15 gold medals.

Swimmer James Magnussen and hurdler Sally Pearson, part of an Australian team of about

420 athletes, carry Cathy Freeman-esque expectations into London.

“They are almost in the same scenario,” Green says of the comparison with Freeman, the darling of the 2000 Sydney Games.

“They (Magnussen and Pearson) are clearly the dominating athletes and on paper should win.

“However, they still need to do it when it counts and that is the beauty of the Olympics – you get one chance every four years.”

Green says the rest of the Australian team will feed off the achievements of the swimmers.

“We have got the champion

athletes who have proven again to be big-stage performers – Stephanie Rice, Leisel Jones – we have many with Games experience who are capable of anything,” Green says.

“And then you have got this young raw talent … young athletes whose times indicate they’re absolutely on track to be up the front of the field.”

Pearson’s world reign in 100m hurdles should reach its crowning ceremony in London, the Queenslander spearheading Australia’s track and field team. The fact 54 track and field athletes gained selection heartened Green,

who says tough qualifying standards are helping produce a batch of medal fancies.

Defending Olympic champion Steve Hooker’s pole vault will also be a centrepiece of Australia’s athletics campaign, with Green believing it foolish to write off the struggling stalwart.

“Anyone who comes up against Steve Hooker knows he is capable of jumping to win the gold medal,” Green says.

On the bikes, Anna Meares leads a fresh-faced bid to topple the strong Brits on their home patch. AAP

GREAT EXPECTATIONSE very Aussie that puts on the

green and gold uniform in London will have high

hopes, but for a select few anything less than a golden result will be deemed a disappointment.

ALICIA COUTTS(100m butterfly, 200IM): The 24-year-old swimmer emerged with world championship silver medals last year in the 100m butterfly and 200m individual medley, and will race both in London.

JAMES MAGNUSSEN(100m freestyle, 4 x 100m freestyle, 50m freestyle): Looming as the superstar of the Australian team, the freestyle sprinter wants Olympic gold and the 100m world record in the one swim.

SALLY PEARSON (100m hurdles): Probably only Magnussen will command more attention on the Australian team. The 100m hurdler (right) is world champion and short-priced to better her Beijing silver medal from four years ago.

MEN’S HOCKEY TEAMThe current Kookaburras – led by captain Jamie Dwyer – have won everything there is in world hockey. And Australia has won medals at the past five Olympics – yet only one was gold, in 2004.

ANNA MEARES(cycling – team sprint): Cycling teammates call her the “old duck”, but the 28-year-old carries gold-medal hopes in the keirin, individual sprint and team sprint paired with Kaarle McCulloch.

TOM SLINGSBY (sailing): The five-time world champion is known as the “Wind Whisperer” and

anything less than gold for the dominant sailor in his Laser class would be a surprise.

MITCHELL WATT (athletics): A genuine gold medal chance in the long jump, Watt won silver at last year’s world championships

and owned four of the top five

jumps of the year.

RISING STARSMURRAY STEWART(kayaking): The 25-year-old from Sydney has taken over from Beijing gold medallist Ken Wallace as Australia’s best paddler and could come away from London with a couple of medals, potentially both gold.

JACK BOBRIDGE(cycling – team pursuit): Australia’s team pursuit quartet are so fresh faced, they’ve been dubbed “the boy band” by the British press and Bobridge is the leader. The world record holder for the individual pursuit.

LIZ CAMBAGE (basketball): At 203cm, it’s difficult for Cambage to duck under anything, let alone a radar. London could be the place where the world discovers a superstar of women’s basketball.

DAMIEN HOOPER(boxing): Ranked second in the world in the light-heavyweight division, Hooper is Australia’s best chance of a boxing medal since Spike Cheney’s silver in 1988. He even believes he can win the country’s first boxing gold.

D A Y 1Friday, July 27[ ] Opening ceremony: From 6am AEST Saturday, July 28. Sets the stage for the 30th modern Olympics and a record third for London. The Games return to England for the first time in more than six decades, since the 1948 Games that began the post-World War II era.

D A Y 2Saturday, July 28[ ] Cycling: Men’s road race. Six days after the Tour de France, London’s The Mall will host a field most likely including British star Mark Cavendish and top Australians such as Matt Goss. The course will suit the sprinters and opportunists, rather than mountain specialists such as Cadel Evans.[ ] Swimming: Women’s 400m individual medley. Stephanie Rice is out to defend her Beijing gold medal but must overcome her shoulder woes.[ ] Swimming: Women’s 4x100m freestyle relay final. A strong Australian women’s team featuring Libby Trickett will be out to upset the Dutch, US and German teams.

D A Y 3Sunday, July 29[ ] Swimming: Women’s 100m butterfly. Can Alicia Coutts convert her Commonwealth Games success to Olympic glory? Can Coutts or Jess Schipper gun down a top field?[ ] Swimming: Men’s 4x100m freestyle relay final. Australia’s team, led by James Magnussen, will be looking to topple the US for the first time since the famous win in Sydney in 2000.

MISSILE MAGNUSSEN READY TO FIRE IN POOL

James “The Missile” Magnussen looks certain to light up swimming’s biggest

stage in London but Australia will need more than a one-man show to retain its place in the sport’s top two Olympic nations.

The Dolphins will arrive at London’s aquatic centre with Magnussen as their spearhead following his remarkable emergence over the past two years.

The 100m freestyle world champion will be in the hunt for up to four gold medals, but he will also likely enter the Games as Australia’s sole individual swimming gold medal favourite.

Australia has been ranked second behind the United States on the medal tally at the past three Games, winning six gold medals in Beijing 2008, seven in Athens 2004 and five in Sydney 2000.

But, with increased competition from China and France, that position is under serious threat and the Dolphins could be facing the prospect of their lowest gold-medal haul since two at Atlanta in 1996.

Australia’s selection trials in March confirmed world-record chaser Magnussen is closing in on something special in London, but offered few clues as to whether a

host of others would be ready to build on near misses at last year’s world championships in Shanghai, where Australia won two gold medals, eight silver and three bronze.

However, the fact times from the selection meet have held up well against the rest of the world has Australian head coach Leigh Nugent feeling optimistic.

Only Magnussen (100m) and Stephanie Rice (200IM) are ranked first in the world in events this year, but Australia has six top-three rankings in individual events heading to London.

Australia will again be relying heavily on success in relays to boost the medal tally.

Magnussen’s presence has Australia hot favourite for the 4x100m freestyle gold and a genuine contender in the 4x100m medley. Nugent believes the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay squad is a big improver, while the women’s freestyle and relay stocks are strong across the board.

But Nugent is optimistic the Dolphins will also have their share of individual success after being buoyed by the performances of Alicia Coutts, Kylie Palmer, Belinda Hocking and Emily Seebohm.

While Rice was Australia’s hero

in Beijing with three gold medals, few are tipping a repeat with a troublesome shoulder wreaking havoc on her preparations.

But Nugent says the “fierce competitor” could not be ruled out in London.

“She’s certainly brought herself back into contention,” he says.

“Even though she’s got an impediment there with her

shoulder, she’s got the ability and the psychological strength to overcome that.” AAP

AUSSIES ENSURE NO FREE RIDE FOR BRITS

Picture it – the day after the Olympics opening ceremony, London’s iconic The Mall is

packed with spectators for one of the most-anticipated events of the Games.

This is supposed to be a banner day for the host nation, when sprint ace Mark Cavendish wins the men’s road race. But an Australian – a ruddy colonial – spoils the whole show and snares the gold medal.

It is a delicious scenario for Cycling Australia high performance director Kevin Tabotta and his fellow road selectors. It is also the biggest selection quandary Australian cycling faces for London.

While Cavendish is the world champion and the pre-race favourite, the five-man Australian road team will be key rivals. Matt Goss is already nominated and Tour de France champion Cadel Evans is a teammate, although Evans will ride the road race as a domestique.

The August 1 individual time trial would be Evans’ better medal chance.

Cycling will be one of the highest-profile sports at these Olympics and Australia will be a key player.

From the men’s road race to the men’s team pursuit, to Anna Meares versus Vicki Pendleton in women’s sprinting to the hurly-burly of the

BMX, there will be some epic contests.

Australian cycling’s only Olympic medal four years ago was Meares’ brave comeback from injury for silver in the sprint.

Three gold medals would be a reasonable pass mark this time around and the track team won three titles from the 10 Olympic events at the world championships in April.

The men’s team pursuiters will continue their absorbing rivalry with the British, while their female counterparts are narrowing the gap to the host nation.

Meares is high among the favourites for the sprint and keirin and will partner Kaarle McCulloch in the team sprint, where they will also contend. Glenn O’Shea and Annette Edmondson are big chances in the omnium, the new multi-discipline Olympic event.

The men’s sprinters won the team sprint world title in bizarre circumstances and are improving.

Sam Willoughby and Caroline Buchanan won BMX world titles a few weeks ago and coach Wade Bootes has done a superb job with the national program.

Women’s road remains a work in progress, although Tabotta is pleased with their development. They might surprise in London. AAP

Beauty is not just skin deep for Miranda Kerr, whose skincare range is changing lives.BACK TO NATURE

Miranda Kerr is known for her fl awless skin and healthy glow, which she attributes to an organic lifestyle and a passion for

wellbeing, after studying nutrition and health psychology before her modelling career took off.

In between catwalk appearances Miranda has developed KORA Organics, a range of skincare designed to get women’s skin glowing and to educate them about the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

Miranda’s mother, Therese Kerr, is KORA’s managing director and visited the Sunshine Coast last week for a series of workshops. Therese says that while KORA focuses on people’s skin, the company was founded on a much more holistic ideal.

“KORA is not a skincare company, it’s a lifestyle choice,” she says. The name comes from a form of

Buddhist meditation and Therese says the ethos is showing that beauty is “not just skin deep, it’s about your inner core – it’s about looking after and nurturing your body in every aspect”.

Organic skincare is a good entry point for women who may not have considered a holistic

lifestyle. “What I always say at these events is health happens by choice, not by accident,” Therese says.

The range features high levels of active ingredients and low preservatives – Therese says there is more

preservative in a cup of tea than in a KORA product.KORA also promotes wellness and self-esteem

through its blog, which Therese says is important in an industry not often associated with healthy self-image.

“A lot of the time, because of the industry, people compare themselves to models,” she says. “And ultimately Miranda’s very, very blessed –she’s got beautiful skin, she’s got lovely hair, but that is by choice as well. So that’s what we’re about – saying you can have beautiful hair, beautiful skin; you can nurture and respect your body, and you can be the best that you can be.”

While Therese says KORA will “make beautiful skin even more beautiful”, some of the most impressive results have been from people suffering from eczema, dermatitis, rosacea, psoriasis and acne.

“I get four to six testimonies a day, and I spend a lot of my time very emotional, because we’re not only impacting on people’s skin, we’re impacting their lives, improving their self-esteem,” she says.

Therese is also a very proud mum. “[Miranda] walks the walk, she doesn’t just talk the talk – she lives and breathes health and nutrition.”

KORA Organics by Miranda Kerr is available locally at Eco Organic Hair & Beauty Cotton Tree, Faye Rolph Models and Terry White Chemists.

Hearing Breakthrough

WOULD you like to hear bet-ter? Technology just released allows you to do so. This technology has received widespread coverage in the news. And people are getting amazing results. Hearing industry experts agree it is the biggest improve-ment in hearing technology since the release of digital hearing devices. And research shows it can greatly improve your quality of life. The patented technology shifts you into a world of clarity. A world where you understand what is said. And a world where you’re aware of your surroundings. It allows you to hear better on the phone. Voices come through smoothly and clearly. Everyone can watch TV at the same volume. You can set the TV to the level others

prefer and still follow what’s said. Soft sounds are heard clear-ly. You’ll hear the whisper of a child’s voice. And the sound of footsteps from a distance. Loud noises are decreased. So your hearing sounds as natural as possible. People will find it easier to talk to you. You’ll understand what they say. And you’ll respond correctly. Attending large gather-ings will be enjoyable again. You’ll no longer be distracted by low level background noises. And you’ll have more en-ergy to understand, as listening will require less effort. In summary, the technology helps you stay connected to the world around you. This patented technology is available at Acoustic Hearing Clinics. Acoustic Hearing Clinics was established on the coast in 1997. All clinics are fam-ily owned and operate with traditional values. Their staff believe in treating you well. They also believe that get-ting to know you is the best way to respond to your hear-ing needs. People who have switched from large, multinational or chain clinics say they now get

treated personally. They also say they were offered a wider choice of hearing devices and got better results. Hearing decreases naturally over time. So any hearing dif-ficulties you have will worsen. If you feel you miss a lot of sounds, either with or without hearing devices, take action. Research shows high-est benefit with early hearing assistance. Everyone is invited to attend. This includes the gen-eral public, DVA card holders and pensioners. Call now to book your free appointment. See how you can benefit from this hearing breakthrough.

CAMBODIAN SUGAR BANANAS AND STICKY RICESHOPPING LIST• 250g white glutinous rice• 1 cup coconut milk• ¼ cup sugar• 1 teaspoon salt• banana leaves for wrapping• 10 ripe sugar bananas• string for tying

METHODSoak the glutinous rice for at least 4 hours, then drain. Bring the coconut milk to the boil in a pot over medium heat, then add the rice. Turn heat to low and simmer for 40 minutes or until the rice is cooked. Stir frequently to prevent it sticking and burning. Add the sugar and salt and continue to stir until all the coconut milk has evaporated. Allow to cool.

Cut the banana leaves into 25- x 20-centimetre rectangles. Blanch and pat dry. Take two sheets and put one on top of the other. Spread the rice 1.5 centimetres thick on half the sheet, then line up a whole banana in the middle. Roll the rice over to enclose the banana. Wrap the banana leaves tightly around the rice roll, tuck in the ends and roll up fi rmly. Tie tightly with string.

Steam for about 20 minutes.

This dessert can be served cold or straight after it has been steamed. For a more aromatic experience, try char-grilling the roll with the banana leaves still on. The leaves will burn, but it will leave the rice with a caramelised appearance and taste.

The recipe is taken from Food for the Soul, a Cambodian cookbook published by My Weekly Preview’s Michael Kramer. One-hundred per cent of the profi ts of this

It never ceases to amaze me how talented humans are. The Olympics will be a great

example of this and I will be glued to the tube 24 seven.

But what really astounds me and a lot of other vinophiles, is the ability of some people to defi ne the bouquet of wine and describe myriad aromas.

Some wine writers are so eloquent as they wax lyrical, with the general public often asking “what’s he on”? But when one has described the nuances, quite often people say, “yeah, I get it”.

That is why I do training. Most people who know me say I couldn’t run out of sight in hilly country, but I am talking about olfactory training.

BEAUTY IS IN THE NOSE OF THE BEHOLDER

PREVIEW‘Education Through Libation’ is Dr Plonk’s motto. He has spent most of his legal drinking age life around wine, and through his many wine travels is focused on the fun, frivolity and the demystifi cation of wine.

[ M Y P A L A T E ]

As a wine reviewer, I am always training the snoz and the palate and honing up on technical and historical snippets. Mrs Plonk sometimes calls it a grand excuse for having a booze up. Yes, I probably should spit a bit more (but maybe my Catholic upbringing infl uences this – waste not want not). But all theory and no practice makes Jack the wine reviewer a very dull boy.

In all seriousness, about every four to six weeks, I purposely prepare an aroma plate that has an array of items such as various berries, dates, chocolate and spices, and probe the proboscis. Little Miss Plonk, the best smeller in the

house, aids my training and invariably picks wine bouquets more accurately than me.

There are a number of commercially prepared aroma sets ranging from 10 or so white and red aromas, to the more professional kits, having up to 50 bottles of specifi c smells. Prices can range from $50 to $500. It’s a lot more fun preparing your own plate, as you get to eat the lot when the smelling is done.

As taste is 90 per cent nasal olfactory effect, it makes sense to swill the wine around in big open glasses to really let it open up. Riedel, the most famous wine stemware makers, has a glass for every type of

wine. I think soft drink would even taste better out of a Riedel.

I like to poke fun at my wine writing colleagues who can get carried away with fl amboyant descriptions about a rarefi ed aroma that resembles violets picked on a cool spring day in a paddock next to a goat’s cheese farm (mental note, must use that line). But their descriptions also typify the magic of wine – that it can be enjoyed on many levels.

Some of my winemaking mates – typifi ed by Keppell Smith from Savaterre wines in Beechworth, Victoria – will often give a three-word description and then exclaim: “Man this is just whacking good booze, get some into ya.”

Could your Hormones be making you CRAZY? Beat Anger, Irritability, Anxiety and Depression Forever! Mood swings so strong, you just want to

scream, or crawl into bed and sleep till it’s over. Anxiety over nothing, irritable over everything, crying at the drop of a hat, and sadness to boot! Now, I’m not just talking about menopause and PMS; to all of you men, MANopause can and will happen, so listen up! Are you irritable, nervous, depressed, low libido, foggy thinking, can’t sleep, or gaining weight? Is anything sounding familiar?

Hormonal imbalances don’t just happen without cause. Did you ever wonder why some people have great hormones, and you just don’t? Why can some people eat anything and maintain their weight, yet you gain 3kg overnight from just thinking about breaking your diet! It’s not all about weight, but some of it is, these symptoms are just the tip of the iceberg for what hormones can do to your body when out of balance long term. You’re looking at accelerated ageing, permanent metabolism malfunction, which leads to diabetes and heart disease, and a decline in your brain function, including losing your short term memory, and loss of important older memories permanently.

There are six triggers that affect your hormones, starting with diet, food reactions, nutrient defi ciencies, infections, stress, and

fi tness. The problem we have is that most people only deal with one of these at a time. You’ll see a specialist in only one area, though if you don’t address all of them, you’re caught in a cycle that goes on for life. The frustrating part is once these triggers upset your hormones, your hormones cause these triggers again! How do you stop it? Actually, it’s pretty easy to stop, as long as you deal with them all at the same time and properly! I have seen hormone creams to balance hormones, the pill, HRT, and bio-identical hormones. These might help your current symptoms, though they won’t fi x the cause, and they won’t fi x the permanent effects, so the cycle continues and you become reliant on them. Fortunately, it can be treated properly, and most symptoms are improved within weeks, and completely relieved within just a few months.

Hormones are one part of a 7 step process for permanently treating mood fl uctuations. These steps have been proven with testing to improve brain and total body function immeasurably, without the help of medication. If you’d like to know more, call for a free half hour consultation, where you’ll learn about everything that causes hormonal and mood problems, and what to do about it.

FALCON TURBO COURTS NEW MARKETJ: So gents, who will buy this car?N: Perhaps people who like Falcons but who are worried about engine size and fuel effi ciency.NIGEL: Families will buy this car.N: It provides competition to the Camry.NIGEL: It’s much cleaner than my Falcon.N: There is good visibility all around. And good fi rm brakes.J: What are your thoughts on the instrument cluster?NIGEL: Pretty pedestrian.N: Yes, but it does have auto headlights.(After Nathan put his foot down, the back passenger is put out by the heavy revving)NIGEL: Whoa. I’ve never seen a Falcon rev that high.N: Remember, this is a four cylinder, so the engine is going to work harder. It’s not zippy, but it has good bump absorption. It does take the corners well at speed.J: (Hanging on to the door) Hmm, I think your passengers might have

NIGEL: They’ve thrown out 50 years of tradition by introducing a four-cylinder Falcon to the market. NATHAN: Yes, Ford might be alienating their own buyers with this one. Mind you this car could open up a whole new market for them.NIGEL: Fair point. But Ford is being fl ogged as buyers turn to smaller cars, so I can understand why they have done it.N: The indicator lever is rather high. But I like the size of this car. This is what I am used to. Feels like a larger car and it is quite spongy. The indicator sounds like a grandfather clock ticking.JEMMA: I like the sound.N: It doesn’t feel powerless, as you might expect knowing it has lost two cylinders on typical Falcons.NIGEL: I do like the interior colour.N: Visibility is good.

something to say about that.N: Um, yes, to take off you defi nitely have to put your foot down, and after a moment the turbo kicks in.J: Let’s swap Nathan, and I can see what kind of economy I can get out of it.N: Watch out Nigel, if anyone can make this car squeal, it’s Jemma.(Nathan swaps seats with Jemma.) N: How do you take a car that always had a six-cylinder engine, a car that

has become a staple of the Australian motoring diet – a car that has a cult following – rob it of its manhood, so to speak, by removing two cylinders and hope it still stacks up against its rivals? It will be an interesting experiment for Ford. On the one hand, consumers are turning to cars with smaller engines. But are Falcon traditionalists willing to sacrifi ce two cylinders for the sake of fuel

effi ciency? There’s a lot at stake here for Ford, and I would say its new arguably-neutered Falcon is likely to develop a brand-new following, rather than satisfy traditional Falcon fans, who could well be alienated by what Ford has done to their cult car.NIGEL: There’s decades of tradition being re-written here.N: They’ve stuck with the traditional naming conventions with this car, calling it a G6, but given they’ve changed the engine, I think they should change the name as well – to G4.N: It feels a little underpowered, but that is to be expected given you’re taking the bulk of a six-cylinder car and replacing its powerplant with a four. But then it is very willing to rev to high up in rev range, which is very pleasing.J: Doesn’t feel big. It feels heavy, but not long or wide. But I like how it feels, it hugs the road.N: The glove box is a bit cheap-looking. It’s just a very thin panel that hinges out of the dash, and there’s very little depth to it. I like that there are several slots on the

[ M O T O R I N G ]

< from previous page

dash to house things like your wallet, mobile phone and garage door remotes, however.J: The brakes are more responsive than the accelerator. Me being a lead foot and all.N: There is no fandangled start process involving pressing buttons and a series of steps like engaging the brake pedal just to get the engine on, just a typical key, which is a nice change by todays’ standards. Ford hasn’t strayed from Falcon tradition with the look and feel of the inside of the car, probably to temper the fact they’ve undertaken such a radical change in engine.J: They probably don’t want to scare off traditional Falcon buyers.NIGEL: They refi ned this car over many years, they’ve already got all of

the braking systems, the suspension and other aspects right. I don’t think I’d buy one though. Falcons are a six-cylinder car. You either want one, or you don’t.J: I don’t know about the steering, you’ve really got to work the wheel.N: The doors sound very mechanical when you open and close them.J: Yes. There will be a lot of parents yelling ‘don’t slam the door’.N: I’d happily drive one of these cars. It wouldn’t be top of my list but it’s easy enough to drive, has plenty of space, and if you’re not a speed demon you’ll enjoy potentially a lower fuel bill.(Nathan gets out of the car)J: Don’t slam the… door.MWP wishes to thank Pacifi c Motorgroup for supplying the test car.

CAPTURING THE SUV MARKET

WHEN it came to updating its popular Captiva soft-roader, Holden

devised a pretty simple formula: more car, less money.

Designed in Australia, but built in Korea and designed to compete with the popular Ford Territory, the Captiva hits the sweet spot as far as many Aussie families are concerned.

It has just enough space for fi ve adults with room for a couple more in an emergency, but the downside is that with all seven seats in use, luggage space is almost nonexistent.

When not in use, the third-row seats fold fl at into the fl oor with an easy one-touch motion.

It’s an impressive vehicle, with ample space for families, yet not so large it’s a chore to drive in city traffi c.

Updates to the interior have improved the Captiva’s comfort levels, and an external facelift has given it a more modern appearance.

We tested the new Captiva with

cheaper than Korean rivals like the Hyundai iX35 and Kia Sportage.

The diesel, available for the fi rst time in the fi ve-seat model, starts at $33,990 – a fair premium, although I’d argue it’s money well spent.

– quiet, smooth and torquey with no turbo lag, giving the Captiva ample pulling power, even with a full load of seven on board – while still delivering good fuel economy.

For its part, the 2.4-litre petrol engine has gained signifi cantly in power and effi ciency. There’s also a V6 option, using the Aussie-built 3-litre V6 found in the Commodore Omega, although most agree that the diesel is the pick of the Captiva litter.

So, will the Captiva make life diffi cult for the new Ford Territory? It depends on your priorities – those looking for more space may opt for the Ford, but those watching the budget will fi nd the Captiva’s value hard to argue with.Holden’s four-cylinder turbo-diesel,

The four-cylinder model remains in the Series 2 Captiva – although the engine has been beefed up a bit – and in fi ve-seat, two-wheel-drive form it costs $27,990, which makes it slightly

Ssangyong sales on the rise in Australia

Renault Australia has launched the new Mégane hatch Sport edition.

For a limited time, the car is available with a 2.0-litre petrol engine mated to either a six-speed manual or CVT gearbox.

On top of the current entry-level Dynamique specifi cation levels, customers will receive 17-inch Schuss alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, rear privacy glass, limited edition trim details and daytime running lamps.

Renault says the Mégane hatch Sport edition represents more than $1800 of value to the customer for an increase of only $1000 on the recommended retail price.

The Mégane Hatch Sport Edition costs $23,990 for the six-speed manual and $25,990 for the CVT.

Ssangyong Australia is moving from strength to strength with the latest VFACTS data revealing a 30 per cent year to date sales increase for the Korean carmaker.

June fi gures also showed an 18 per cent month-on-month increase.

Ssangyong reports 1001 sales during 2012 compared to 770 at the same time last year, an increase it says is in part due to the successful introduction of the Korando compact SUV and the new Actyon Sports Dual-Cab Ute, which have been well received by Australian car buyers.

Steven Thomas of Ssangyong says the latest fi gures reinforce the car maker’s growing presence in the Australian car market.

COVER STORY

LEVERAGING

YOUR SMSF

PREVIEWGot a self-managed super fund? Then you can use the cash to buy a property, but read this preliminary guide before you make any moves.

WORDSTom Wood

OK, so you have a self-managed super fund (SMSF) and are comfortable using the cash in it to leverage into a loan to buy property. You

know that the super rules allow this if a bare trust is set up as the buyer of the property. You have found a property and want to sign a contract.

How do you put it into practice? This article looks at the pointy end of the process – setting up the required buyer structure, entering into a contract, and taking out a loan.

WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE INVOLVED FOR THE BARE TRUST? The concept has been around for a few years now, but there is still no single established name for a bare trust document. They have differing titles depending on who is preparing them, such as instalment warrant, custodian deed, bare trust deed and property trust. These are all the same thing.

I assume that you have already established an SMSF and the company which should be the trustee of the SMSF. You will therefore already have a company register of the corporate trustee and a trust register of the SMSF trust.

Next, you should set up a separate company to be the trustee of your bare trust. Having a company means paying a small annual government registration fee, and maybe an annual fee to your accountant if your accountant is the company’s registered offi ce. However, as the company will be a bare trustee only, it shouldn’t need to lodge a tax return.

It is not legally required to have a company as trustee of the bare trust, but it is strongly recommended. If an individual or individuals are the trustee, the death, bankruptcy, divorce or exit from the fund of the trustee

will create administrative problems. A company as trustee will usually ensure that any deaths or underlying membership of the fund will not affect the property owned by the bare trust.

If you already have a company, you can use it as the trustee of the bare trust. A company may be trustee of more than one trust. However, the super rules require you to have separate bare trust documents prepared for each property which the bare trust buys.

The main document is the instalment warrant, custodian deed or whatever it is called. This is teamed with a series of shorter but essential documents which I usually call ancillary documents.

WHAT DOES THE INSTALMENT WARRANT SAY?The super rules require that the bare trust provide that:• the property is held on trust as bare trustee only,• the SMSF may direct the bare trustee to transfer the

property to the SMSF, and • the bare trustee must act on SMSF’s directions.

The bare trust is established by a settlor, who is usually an acquaintance, lawyer or accountant who knows the parties. A quaint but essential requirement is that the settlor provides a gift of a small amount such as $5 or $10 to the bare trustee to establish the bare trust. If this money isn’t paid, the bare trust is invalid. The settlor can’t get the money back either; it sits in the bare trust’s books as an asset.

The ancillary documents include resolutions and authorisations by the SMSF trustee and the bare trustee that the bare trust be established and the property purchased. These resolutions and authorisations are also necessary in order to comply with the super rules.

46.indd 1 7/24/2012 10:33:48 AM

The SMSF can require the property to be transferred to it by the bare trustee at any time, but only if there are no borrowings against it. In practice, the property is usually sold before the loan is paid out, so the bare trustee will still be the owner and will be the seller in the sale contract.

If the property is transferred to the SMSF, there is no duty payable on the transfer.

THE LOANThere are two types of loans which are seen in this area. They are:1. Third party loan, which is where a bank or other

fi nancier is lending money to the SMSF. • There will be a loan agreement between the bank

and the SMSF.• The SMSF is the borrower in the loan agreement.• The bank will requires mortgage security – as

owner, the bare trustee is the mortgagor.• The bank will prepare the loan and mortgage

documents.• Either the bank or the SMSF will prepare the bare

trust documents, depending on the bank’s policy.2. Related party loan, where a related entity is

lending money to the SMSF.• The loan agreement is between the related

entity and the SMSF.• The SMSF is the borrower in the loan agreement.• Usually the loan is unsecured unless the related

entity wants a mortgage for some reason.• The SMSF and borrower arrange all documents.• The interest rate must be commercial, as if it were

an arms’ length loan.

THE PURCHASE CONTRACTIt is essential to get the bare trust entity set up before going to contract. Too often this issue is left to the last minute (for example, when sitting in the real estate agent’s offi ce). If you buy the property in one entity and then seek to change it later, you could be facing a bill for double duty.

The SMSF must pay the deposit, and the contract will usually contain common conditions such as fi nance approval, and building and pest inspections. If the SMSF is borrowing from a bank, the contract must be subject to fi nance approval, as the bank will want to approve the contract before giving approval and preparing loan documents.

Submissions must include the author’s name, address and contact phone number. We reserve the right to edit all comments.

WHAT ARE THE COSTS?The costs will include legal fees for setting up the bare trust and bank fees for reviewing the documents. Conveyancing costs will also be incurred. On top of this are the usual outlays such as loan establishment fees, duty and Titles Offi ce registration fees.

SHOULD I GO AHEAD?It does seem like a lot of effort to go to for a SMSF to be able to borrow to buy property. However, in my experience, if the fi t is right, clients are happy they made the effort. Of course, you should always get early professional advice before going ahead.

STATE AWARD WELL DESERVED

NEWS & VIEWS

Clients of Nambour’s Day & Grimes will know Gary Langford from his years in

the real estate industry, but it’s his involvement in the community – and specifi cally the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) – that resulted in the marketing manager taking centre stage at a recent awards ceremony.

Langford explains, “I am the president of the local ambulance committee in Nambour and each year QAS holds the Star Care awards for each of the regions in the state. The Sunshine Coast is in the north coast region.”

The QAS gives out several awards each year and Langford won the local ambulance committee member of the year award for the north coast region.

The regional award is a huge pat on the back for Langford, but the accolades didn’t stop there. Each of the winners has a chance to be selected as a state winner, and this

year that state winner was Langford. He says he was selected based not just on his involvement with the QAS but also because of his ongoing involvement in the Nambour community. He spent 12 years with Nambour’s chamber of commerce, ran a homeless men’s shelter for 10 years and is on the state property council committee for St Vincent de Paul.

ACROSS DOWN

HOROSCOPESARIES Mar 21-Apr 20 On Sunday, rams will be full of get-up-and-go. Make sure you have plenty of projects to channel your energy into, otherwise you’ll just let off steam by bossing others around.

TAURUS Apr 21-May 21 Companionship is on your mind, as the moon moves through your relationship zones. Attached bulls: cuddle up with your partner. Singles: now’s the time to look for love.

GEMINI May 22-Jun 21 Restless twins – you’re incredibly busy but are you actually achieving anything? If you rush too much you’ll just make mistakes and have to redo things later on. Pace yourself.

CANCER Jun 22-Jul 23 You’re in the mood to daydream but don’t overdo it. Keep a firm grip on reality, otherwise you’ll delude yourself about a person or situation.

LEO Jul 24-Aug 23 The sun and retro Mercury join up in your sign on Sunday, so apply the breaks and think before you speak. Otherwise you’ll say the wrong thing and unintentionally upset others.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sep 23 Is a loved one pulling the wool over your eyes? Or is someone trying to persuade you to do something against your better judgement? Get the facts before you make a decision.

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23 Shake off the mental cobwebs Libra. Follow your heart as you embark on an adventure or get passionate about a new project. Communicate your ideas as creatively as possible.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov 22 Don’t believe everything a friend tells you this weekend. Common sense is needed to separate fact from fiction. Make the most of your creative communication skills.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21 Creativity is favoured this weekend, as your intuition kicks into gear and your imagination soars. Don’t waste the opportunity to connect with your inner muse and express yourself.

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20 Capricorns can be condescending, but loved ones won’t appreciate you getting on your high horse this weekend. A more subtle – and sensitive – approach is the way to go.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19 You’ll feel restless and rebellious on Sunday, but it’s nothing you can’t handle. Find interesting and stimulating activities to do, plus plan an exciting escape for sometime soon.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20 You’re full of noble intentions, but don’t take on more than you can deliver. With Venus and Jupiter in your domestic zone, it’s time to appreciate the cosy comforts of home.
