Soccers a nice game.Not like some of those others, where you have to jump high and run up peoples backs to get to the ball.

Most of the action is also played out at ground level, so youve got a lot more chance of seeing whats going on,

Then, when someone scores a goal, everyone runs in together for a big, friendly group hug.

Nice, I say. With that in mind, its not surprising that excitement is on the rise for the One World, One Game thats leading the way to the One Cup.

The World Cup is footballs version of the Olympics, and just in case you didnt know, its all happening in South Africa later this month.

And is it ever going to be huge no more so than at this end of town.

The local community has a large contingent of South Africans, who will be watching to check out familiar landscapes.

We also have our very own Socceroo in our midst veteran defender, Craig Moore, who lives in the area with his wife and children.

Of course,the Cup wont just be all about soccer, either.

No event worth its bigness these days is without an entertainment spectacular, of ridiculous proportions.

The line-up for the Cup has all bases covered. Its got country bands, blues bands, Christian bands, rock bands. Bands playing their best from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Acoustic music, electric, woodwind and bagpipes. Clowns, facepainters, comedians and magicians, a Marilyn Monroe lookalike, and a rumour that Elvis will definitely be in the building.

The stars are also queuing with the likes of Alicia, Angelique Kidjo, the Black

Eyed Peas, and, Shakira performing alongside top names in a line-up of Africas traditional musicians.

A few short years ago, soccer was seen as a bit of a background sport in Australia. An imported game, brought here by families from places like Greece, Italy, the former Yugoslavia, and Great Britain.

They handed their sporting passions onto their sons, some of those who would have undoubtedly been on the field four years ago when Australia was back in action at the World Cup in Germany, after an absence of 32 years.

It was a moment in sporting history and following the showing, interest in soccer or football as true followers will tell you shot up. Now, everyone knows the name and the game.

So, heres the bet.When Australia meets Germany for the

first game of the first round, in Durban, sometime in the early Australian hours on June 13, theres likely to be a big slice of locals watching, along with a guesstimated 751.1 million people worldwide and an expected 10 million-plus, nationwide.

That is of course unless it clashes with evil Russell and his wicked plans to cheat, lie and scheme his way to the winning post on Survivor.

Then it might be over to the replay. Sharon Kells

We told you it would be a Great Long Lunch and so it was.The red carpet was out, the cameras

were rolling and our much-awaited event kicked off with a glass of champagne, an impressive amount of fashion style and a whole lot of excitement.

More than 150 guests turned up to join the Get It team for lunch last month, and what a line-up it was.

Representatives of Salacia Waters and Skin Alert, who sponsored the event and helped make it happen, need to be thanked big time for their support although,were a little curious to know how Salacias director Benjamin Shin and marketing manager Ken Lim found the very lively mix of women, fashion and food.

As for Skin Alert, who better than to sing the praises of its youth-preserving technology than Oscar award winning make-up artist Peter Frampton and sing he did, attributing his dashing good looks to their treatments. Thats a pitch for you.

Stacey Critchell, from Salacia Waters, also updated guests on the progress of the impressive complex taking shape at Paradise Point an under-taking that represents a major invest-

ment in the northern Gold Coast.Featured guest speaker, Zoe Foster,

fl ew in for the day, fresh from the glamour and glitz of Sydneys Fashion Week. Zoe, a journalist and author, gave some telling insights into how she managed to write her best-selling books, juggle a day job and fi t in the rest of her life along the way easy when you know how.

And then there was the heartfelt address from Kylie Terry, a serving RAAF member and ambassador for National Breast Cancer, whose story about surviving breast cancer touched everyone in the room.

After lunch, inhibitions fl owed free and the dancing began, with Nadia Lloyd, taking out the best moves competition, backed all the way by a lively crowd.

Former Miss Australia, Georgina Denahy, had fashion under wraps with a parade that gave us a view of what designers George Gross & Harry Who, Anthea Crawford, Marcs, Saba and Perri Cutten have in mind for winter.

All up, it was an interesting, entertaining and fun day and if you missed it this time round, make sure you get in early for the next Great Long Lunch. Youre all invited.v

THERES something about New Zealand that seems to be missing.Youll notice it on the road much travelled. The one which takes you from the suburban city limits of Christchurch and out onto the Canterbury Plains, heading towards Queenstown.

Its the tried and tested route for the hundreds of visitors, who come to play in the countrys South Island through winter and summer.

When its warm, its the clean waterways, the trekking and hiking through the mountains and valleys, the walks through the green landscaped trails or the high profi le adventures, like kayaking, waterskiing and jumping from on high, that draw the crowds.

But in winter, people fl y in from all corners of the world, and the Australian mainland, especially from the Gold Coast, with one thing on their mind to hit the slopes and enjoy the ski season in the popular runs around Queenstown.

The trip from Christchurch stretches across an expanse of grassy fl atlands, where the only distraction for kilometres on end are the quaint cottages and farmhouses set back from the highway along the route, with their smoking chimneys and family histories.

Theres the tourist highlights, like the stone church on the edge of Lake Tekapo, where the waters turned azure blue with the help of the glacial melt, while in the distance, the white snow caps of NZs Mount Cook take the view.

Sometimes, youll also come across the odd petrol station, a restaurant and pub or two offering a meal break, and the occasional tourist outlet selling woolly items of interest.

For the most part, the scenery will stay the same until you hit the steeper wind of the mountain run into Queenstown itself.

But its what you wont see along the way, that is far more telling.

No sporting billboards urging you to just do it. No spruiking advertisements seducing you to drink a certain beer, invest in a certain skin cream, or put your money in the bank you can count on. No death by advertising along the way.

Continued page 18.

THERES A LOT TO LOVE ABOUT NEW ZEALAND, BUT ITS THE PURE UNADULTERATED BEAUTY OF ITS LANDSCAPE THAT WINS VERY TIME.

Somehow, NZ has bypassed commercial saturation of its public space and managed to keep the better part of its natural wall free from the wall to wall sell so inherent everywhere else.

Had the popular Coronet Peak ski resort found itself on the Gold Coast, its a good bet it would have been sharing the view with a 125-storey highrise on the most pristine of its peaks and a flashing sign praising it as the tallest residential on a snowfield.

The NZ authorities have been very clever in their decision to protect and preserve what is undoubtedly the countrys best asset its unspoilt, untouched and unpolluted landscape, as well as the fauna and flora.

And they have reaped the rewards, attracting a wave of new eco-investment and tourism, and luring international filmmakers, with the promise of stunning visual backdrops and an environment unimpeded by man made distractions.

Peter Jackson alerted the world to the breathtaking beauty of this part of the world through his Lord of the Rings series.

But even this home grown hero had to follow the rules.When Jackson was filming many of the battle scenes in the

picturesque village of Glenorchy, just outside of Queenstown, he was required to remove every plant and pebble before one frame could be shot.

The story goes that a team of horticultural and wildlife experts were brought in to map the location of every plant, supervise each removal and storage, then later, when the fighting scenes were done and dusted, return each to its original spot.

This sense of preservation and need to keep the wildlife intact and protected is widespread in New Zealand.

Even the bustling resort of Queenstown, rated as one of the worlds top tourist destinations, shows similar restraint.

While catering to more a million visitors a year, undoubtedly adding to the pressure on infrastructure and accommodation needs, the resort has retained its quaint charm and avoided the quick fix of high rises and theme parks.

It remains a delightfully cosmopolitan town, fronted by Lake Wakatipu, with the majority of the buildings private homes, public facilities, lodges and accommodation houses constructed in terraced layers, designed to blend subtlety into the surrounding mountains and landscape.

Even the towns commercial hub of shops, where the restaurants rank the best in the world and the stores carry top designer labels, is fashioned around a weave of pedestrian malls, wide timber walkways and cobbled stone laneways.

Its a town known for its old world charm and penchant for English style pubs, and pulls in the visitors all year round.

In summer, the hikers, or trampers as the Kiwis call them, arrive to take on the areas wilderness.

They walk through mossy forests and green grassy paddocks, over the craggy moorlike fields, through rocky passageways and under cascading waterfalls.

One of the more popular trails on the walking route, known as Motatapu, passes through land held by American country singer, Shania Twain. She was required to make it accessible to trampers as part of the lease deal under NZs conservation laws.

If walking doesnt do it for you, there are quite literally, a hundred and one other ways to amuse yourself in Queenstown they dont call it the adventure capital of the world for no good reason.

You could kick off with a 134-metre bungy jump over the Nevis River, the highest leap in the area. Or take off with a splash of white water rafting on the Kawarau or Shotover Rivers, followed by,

a quick zip up the same river in a super fast jet boat.

Or you could be in the mood for a twosome and take a tandem skyjump, a paraglide, or a swing in a suspended seat high above the city.

If youre after a quieter life, theres golf at Kelvin Grove, one of most picturesque courses youre every likely to play, or an elegant clipper sailing boat heading to explore the magnificence of nearby Milford Sound.

The decisions only come spoilt for choice. When you start talking winter, the only game in town is skiing although, you have to include snowboarding in the mix, as it has all but taken over the slopes.

Queenstowns three best known fields Coronet Peak, the closest to the resort, Cardona and the amazing Remarkables offer skiers their own particular advantages.

And because of the popularity of NZ snowfields to Australians, its often possible to tie up the trip and all its incidentals before you leave home.

Theres a whole lot more of New Zealand to see besides Queenstown a complete other island to start with. But its a great launching point and one of the best introductions to a natural NZ that will quite literally take your breath away.v

You dont really expect your spaghetti to come chocolate fl avoured, with a serve of wild berries on the side and berry coulis to whet the appetite.

A long way from the days of bolognaise or marinara.

But the pasta dish, handmade with cocoa and obviously on the dessert menu, is set to become a dining favourite at the newly named Sofra restaurant, in Hope Island Central.

Its a signature offering from chef Sam Kavas, who is in the kitchen, cooking up a fresh new menu to go with the restaurants new emergence.

Sofra is the reincarnation of the popular Buon Appetito, owned by Fernando and Lenore Moleirinho, which has established itself with a reputation of good service and good food.

Buon Appetito has been a great restaurant, theres no doubt, says Sam.

But with Sofra we are carrying on that standard and going one step further.

We are updating the profile, in-troducing some new, fresh and exiting tastes, and adding some

delightgful Turkish dishes to the menu. Sam, who trained at the respected

Boulevarde Hotel, in Sydney, worked in restaurants in Sydney and Melbourne before coming to the Gold Coast.

Since arriving, hes been an early morning regular down at the waterfront , taking the catch fresh from the trawlers as they come in from a nights fi shing.

Thats one thing we can promise with Sofra, says Sam.

Everything absolutely everything comes fresh from the kitchen, made from

local sourced produce wherever possible, especially our seafood.

Youll taste that freshness in every dish.Sofras new menu will have some

interesting options. The popular run of pizzas with their crisp thin crust and multi choice of toppings stay put, and the pasta selections, including gnocchi, are all home made and fresh.

But if you want some variation, theres Sams lentil soup, which looks the simplest of dishes, but is superbly smooth and satisfying, or his fetta and spinach slice, again a straightforward dish, but one that surprises and delights with its delicate crisp taste.

The food is great. Sam has his reputation and passion on the line and neither are up for compromise.

The tastes of Turkey blend well with the Mediterranean dishes, says Sam, whose Turkish-born mother, introduced him to the exotic and piquant fl avours of the Middle East.

Sofra will open seven days a week, with a take-away and home delivery service, on hand six days a week.

For me food is adventure, says Sam.And wed like our customers to take

that adventure with us they wont be disappointed.v

Before A er

With a little bit of

LYNN Matterns decision to take her small charges on their first ever-ski trip was never going to be easy.

The group of six-year olds were part of her special needs class and included children with Downs Syndrome, intellectual and emotional problems, and those under the general classification of having learning difficulties.

The trip was a challenge. There were the concerns of worried parents, teaching colleagues and the restrictions of authority not to mention a small problem of a creek running along the bottom of the learners slopes.

But Lynn, a mid-western American, with a clear and determined attitude, had a master plan in mind for her class of little learners.

Those obstacles simply didnt enter the picture. These were children who certainly had their difficulties, says Lynn.Theyd been constantly told, in one way or another, that they

couldnt learn, wouldnt be able to read or write properly, so they never did.

Theyd been given to understand that they were not capable, and sometimes even called stupid by others.

But Lynn took a lead from her own father.I grew up with a man who was not only a good person, but a

top athlete and pro footballer, she says.

He saw the strength in the value of using sport as a tool, not just for the physical body, but as a means to boosting self esteem and mental focus.

And he would often say, if you could teach a child to

play sport, then you could get them to do, and learn, anything.Enter the game plan.Lynn and her assistant put the children on skis, watched as they

tried, failed, fell over, got up and tried again.We played with them, they played with us and we persevered

and they learnt to ski, even though a lot of people thought they never would.

The next day, back in the classroom, Lynn, the teacher, innovator and risk taker, was delivered her reward.

One of the little girls, who had big problems with her reading, came up to me with a book in hand and said, if I can ski, then I can read and she did.

That story was a lifetime ago, and Lynn says the shame of today is that liability threats and over protectiveness would likely stop such a program even being considered.

I saw first hand the good it created, the promise it

american Know How

offered, and was so proud to be part of that exercise.Today, Lynn lives and works in Hope Island, a long way from her

American roots in Michigan. Shes married to an Australian, runs her own business and is

loving this new country shes adopted.Her first trip to Australia and Queensland came on somewhat of

a whim. She was working as a teacher in Michigan and bringing up two young daughters on her own, after a divorce. But every summer break, she took part in a program catering for foreign students, and would come home full of stories to tell daughters Betsy and Molly, about the different people and places she met.

Id be so enthusiastic that wed make plans for us all to pack up and travel to some of these places but we never did, says Lynn.

However, after one such retelling, the girls, fed up with promises, took her to task, and the next thing the trio were on a plane to Australia and the Gold Coast, where Lynn had scored a temporary teaching job.

She took a years sabbatical from her American work, and while she thrived on the change, was concerned for her daughters.

I wasnt sure the girls would take to being so far away, but they fell in love with Australia so much so that when I had to go home a year later, they stayed on.

That sealed the deal. Lynn packed up, made the Australian move permanent and in a

turn of events that came out of the blue, met her future husband. Now Im learning how to be an Aussie for real, she says.With the new move and new life came a new career one which

proved a complete turnaround from her previous work.She became involved in marketing a range of Swiss skin care

products, which she admits was as far away from an interest as I could have had at the time.

That also came about a bit by chance, says Lynn.After spending a lifetime in Michigans cold climate, as soon as

she hit Australias sunny shores, she soaked it up. But while Lynn thought her tan most beautiful, her friends were mortified when she arrived back home.

They werent too complimentary at all about my skin or how I looked, she says.

They told me I was aging by the minute, gave me some new skin products to try, and I went along, mostly to appease them.

What I didnt expect was the change in my skin. It literally underwent a transformation and I couldnt remember when it had looked that good.

The experience sent her seeking more information and a decision to become involved in the business of beauty and skin care, well aware of the inherent prejudices in the networking model that came with it.

Not only was I aware of it, I was a little sceptical myself, says Lynn.

But the product was so overwhelmingly good, that it was never really an issue.

The way I see it, women are very cluey when it comes to knowing what they want, and especially so when it comes to their skin care.

You can be sure they will make choices on quality, effectiveness and results just as I would, so on that front, I had no doubts about this business.

Lynn regularly travels back to America to visit friends, family and her daughters, who have since relocated there to follow up their own careers. But she says the whim that came with a summer job, was one of the best decisions of her life, and for now shes working on her Aussie accent.v

The 7 best-kept health secrets you must know, but were never told.

Call 5530 8494www.chiropracticcentral.com.au

Being different is never easy. It can be tough. Real tough. I used to just go with the flow and not rock the boat, but sometimes ones heart beats to a different drum. Youll see what I mean shortly

Let me introduce myself. My name is Ben Levi. Im a third generation Gold Coaster born into a family of two generations of Medical Prac-titioners. So, Ive been around

the medical model all my life. But this is where Ive made a change. I decided to help people get well without uing drugs or surgery. So, I became a chiropractor. Ive heard people say, oh, so youre a back cracker, or bone cruncher.

This is exactly why I feel compelled to expose some secrets and dispel some myths! The 7 secrets Im sharing with you today will change the way you look at your own and your familys health forever.

1 Our Symptoms are a poor indicator of our healthhow we feel and how well we heal are different.

Our degree of symptom is not a health barometer. We can be symptom free and have cancer, heart disease or even just tooth decay. High cholesterol isnt caused by a shortage of statin production. Pain isnt a result of ibuprofen insuffi-ciency. These symptoms are merely our clever bodies trying to give us a warning signal. If you hear a rattle in your car do you turn the music up to get rid of it? Or do you get a qualified mechanic to fix the problem?

2 We need a healthy spine to have a healthy bodyyour spine and nerves are like a switchboard for your body. If we have some of those spinal switches in an off position, similar to a blown fuse, our body wont work prop-erly, like the lights get switched off when a fuse blows to your house. We need to live with all the switches in an on posi-tion to be healing properly and there-fore be healthy for life.

3 Healing happens from the inside outour bodies have a natural ability to heal! Its abundant and free! Everyone has the power needed to live to 120. Its called innate intelligence, and its that power to heal we are all blessed with. You cant buy it or swallow it. You just need to let it work without interference. This is where subluxations come into it. They interfere with normal healing by blocking the flow of electrical impulses from our brain to our body. Remove the subluxations, and miracles happen. So what is a subluxation?

4 Subluxations may be devastatingA Subluxation is any misalignment of the spinal bones which chokes the spinal cord and spinal nerves. As you know, your brain and nervous system is the master controlling system of your body. It has ultimate control of over 50 trillion cells that make you breathe, smile, digest, swallow and even control your blood pressure!

When the spine misaligns its called subluxation and this can put massive pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Imagine that! And whats worse, is that usually we cant even feel it. Less than 10% of the nervous system carries or perceives pain. That means things we do every day, such as sit at a compu-ter or playing sport, can cause misalign-ment, and put pressure on the nerves, weakening our nervous system. Some-times we are lucky and we get some body signals such as headaches, fa-tigue, and back pain, telling us there is something wrong.

5 Chiropractors specialize in the detection and removal of subluxation We study the intricate workings of the spine and nervous system extensively so we can carefully remove this potentially damaging condition. It takes 5 years full time at University to learn how to find and remove subluxations from the spine. I graduated with a Masters de-gree in Chiropractic and studied a further two years to hold a Degree in Nutritional Medicine.

6Your posture is the window to your spineif your posture is out, your spine and nervous system is under pressure. Thats right, you may have subluxation. How do you stand? Does your head sit forward of your shoulders? Are you getting a bump at the base of your

neck? Do you have a sway back? Is one shoulder higher than the other or one leg slightly shorter? Bad posture not only looks bad, it is bad.

Its as bad on the inside as it is on the outside and should not be ignored.

7 Chiropractic adjustments are safe, gentle and effectivean adjustment is a very specific and gentle way of realigning the spine. I know many of us have experienced practitioners who are too heavy handed. I agree, Im fussy about who adjusts me, too. We use very gentle, yet extremely effective methods of adjusting the spine. We make it our responsibility to get the best possible results, in the safest possible way.

Try something different. For the next 2 weeks well give a thorough spine and posture check for just $30, normally valued at $220. We have our x-ray facility on site, if required. Just mention this article.

Come and say hi to Kerrie, our naturopath and massage therapist. Whatever your needs, well endeavour to look after you.

We are located at Suite 9, 1 Rialto Quay Drive, Hope Island, next to BiLo, above the Thai restaurant, on the turn off to Sanctuary Cove.

Call Di, my friendly assistant at Chiropractic Central, on (07) 5530 8494, mention this offer and we will schedule you in as soon as we can. We look for-ward to meeting you very soon!

Yours in health, Ben Levi ,Chiropractor.BSc M.Chiro.Grad Dip Nutrition Med.

There is absolutely no reason for anyone to put up with the social disability of hearing loss.

The newest digital hearing aids have hi-fi delity sound, are comfortable and virtually invisible.

Many hearing impaired people have decided against using hearing aids because of concern about their appearance, says Alastair Bacon of Audio Active Hearing Aids

Appearance has always been a major factor in the decision making process, he says.

However, todays smallest hearing aids fi t entirely within the ear canal and typically cant be seen unless someone is looking directly into the ear.

In most cases no one would ever know a hearing aid was being worn, and they are so comfortable, that after a few days, people dont even know they are wearing them.

He says performance is also a major benefi t.

Most of our clients whove used traditional hearing aids cant believe the difference in the sound quality of a high-end digital instrument, he says.

The tiny deep canal aids sit so close to the ear drum, they dont need to amplify as much. Its like someone talking right beside, you as opposed to

talking from the other side of the room. The sound is clearer and less distorted.

Most of the newest aids are automatic, and can even reduce annoying background noise. You simply insert then forget about it.

Its truly amazing what such a tiny device can do, says Alastair

Audio Actives audiologists are qualifi ed professionals special-ising in and in fi tting deep canal hearing aids. The company is offering a free initial consultation to clients, and a no-obligation 30-day, 100 per cent money back guarantee on all fi ttings.

a funny thing happened on the way to getting older. the rules changed and the choices came out of the cupboard.no longer did you need to put on a sensible cardigan and

turn down the volume for a life of respectable retirement.the game had better options.You might be adding the years, but an improved understanding

of how to stay healthy, manage money better, and use a lifetime of assets to support the enjoyment and freedoms of the here and now, are part of the new retirement picture.

the idea of age, once so de ned, is now a nebulous concept and where you live, travel, entertain, study and socialise, regardless of the years in between, are more than ever, your choice entirely.

Everywhere you look in Lindfi eld Gardens theres a tree, a fl ower or a shrub in view.If its not in the garden itself, its in the names of the apartment

blocks, the walkways or the streets.The environment here is one of the main attractions, says

the centres consultant Sue Benseman.The gardens are really beautiful, so its a nice touch to also

have apartment buildings, names like Elm and Maple.The complex is a retirement village for the over 55s and

according to Sue, is in the perfect location.Its within easy reach of everything. You can walk to

Helensvale Plaza, take the underpass to Westfi eld Shopping centre, and the rail link to Robina on the Gold Coast or up to Brisbane is on your doorstep, says Sue.

Services such the as medical centre and the Gold Coast City library are also conveniently located.

Lindfi eld Gardens is a fully accredited retirement village, offering independent living in a choice of free-standing homes, apartment blocks, duplexes and also quad blocks, with access from both ground and street level. Sue says the apartments, built 18 months to two years ago, offer basement parking with stair or lift access and feature modern interior design.

The great thing about living here is that people are supportive and friendly without being intrusive, says Sue.

The complex has a common lounge area, a swimming pool heated all year round, an intimate library, huge auditorium catering for 250, which is also used for indoor bowls, art classes and various functions held here.

She says people live in their own environment, but each residence has a 24-hour alarm system should it be needed.

Hervey Bay is a small slice of paradise. Sim-ply beautiful. White sandy beaches, relaxed, stress-free living, clean, clear waterways that are home to turtles, dolphins, dugongs and magnifi cent humpback whales.

Its into this paradise that Noble Lakeside has built its private world of choice a resort of more 210 designer homes and waterfront properties, that trade the ordinary for a lifestyle that is winning over the 50-plus set.

Judged Queenslands Best Natural Haven for young at heart retirees, the resort also took out the Queensland Lifestyle Housing selection in the Seniors Housing award for all the right reasons. No crowds, no traffi c jams, no bustling rat race.

These homes have been designed with every advantage in mind, says the companys Roger Noble.

They are stylish, airy and open and most are built on the water.

Roger says while many people do retire to the resort, its more about being a place where people of the same age group can enjoy a lifestyle change.

Everything is here, says Roger.Youve got a $3million clubhouse, an all-year

heated lap pool indoors and a tropical lagoon style outdoors, bowling greens, spa, a library and computer room.

And theres no mowing to do, no maintenance to worry about, none of that time consuming responsibility youve had to deal with most of your life. Its a new freedom.

Another advantage of Noble Lakeside is that youll never pay exit fees when you sell, no stamp duty on transactions, no council rates, legal or body corporate fees.

The resort system allows for people to buy their home and pay a site fee for the land leasing, leisure facilities, general upkeep, security and all other requirements.

You retain the advantages of a free hold title, 100 per cent capital gains and inheritance rights and if youre on a pension, youll also be entitled to rent assistance to offset these fees.

If you buy one of our homes still under construction, well also offer free accommodation and storage while you wait, says Roger.

For more information, call toll free 1800 455 307, or check the website at www.noblelakeside.com.au

Being able to stay in your own home as you get older is about a lot of things.Its about keeping the familiarity youve known all your life close at hand, of having the security of your surroundings, and the comfort and knowing of your memories and experiences.

But there might come a stage where people need a little help in their home to cope, says Mary-Louise North, from the Oz Care organisation.

And that could cover a broad range of both in-home and nursing care.She says by providing support through in-house nursing care, helping

people with housework, shopping, showering, transport and meal preparation, the Oz Care service allows them to stay independent.

Sometimes, its as simple as helping people manage medications, or dress wounds and attend to other health issues. But

other times it can be help of general nature, that works to make things run smoother.

She says if health or well-being needs require more intensive care, the organisation offers three very bright and modern facilities to meet these needs - with warmth and welcome in mind.Our Oz Care centres Parkwood Gardens,

Tax is the three-letter word on everyones lips at the moment.Its June and while the tax man

certainly cometh, what he taketh away is another matter altogether.

Working out the best way to minimise tax and secure a reasonable return is a yearly challenge.

No one wants to, nor should they, pay more tax that is legally necessary, and according to accountant Luke Glasgow, the best way to guarantee that is with good planning and good advice.

We take a very proactive approach to your tax, says Luke, a member of the Wealthfarm group, which has just opened at Hope Island.

By that we mean, assessing your current fi nancial situation, looking at what was done last year and completing the return based on that information.

But because Wealthfarm has the supportive services of fi nancial plan-ning, property and loan assessment, it also means we can look ahead

to what you want to achieve the following year.

Luke says your tax picture can often change with circumstances.

One very good way of getting the best tax deal is to plan ahead. If you invest in property or self education, you can factor it into your tax profi le beforehand.

Super also offers a number of tax advantages, especially for retirees or those heading that way.

It can help create wealth. You can take advantage of tax concessions, even buy an investment property using superannuation. Its all legal and has been set up this way.

Wealthfarm, at Hope Island Marina Shopping Centre, offers a set fee for returns. Contact 1800 967 548 for more details, or to talk about your fi nancial needs.

tAKE A tAX ADVAntAGE

It remains the most common of cancers in women, with one in eight Queensland women at risk of being diagnosed with it before the age of 85.

But while those statistics present their own picture of breast cancer, the push is also on to show women how they can reduce their risk of contracting the disease.

Whilst the cause remains unknown, research has identified some of the risk factors that may increase the chance of developing breast cancer the biggest being age.

Seventy-five per cent of women diagnosed with breast cancer are over the age of 50, and while having a family history may also push up the risk, nine of our 10 women diagnosed, have no such history.

Recently, Breast Screen Queens-lands Gold Coast Service produced a brochure explaining some steps that might help women reduce their breast cancer risk.

These include maintaining a healthy body weight, eating healthy, being physically active and limiting alcohol intake, says Julia Foreman, the Breast Screen Queensland

Gold Coast Services health pro-motions officer.

The brochure, which is endorsed by the Cancer Council Queensland, suggests adopting a healthy lifestyle.

As there is currently no means of preventing breast cancer, the focus in reducing deaths from the disease continues to be on detecting breast cancer as early as possible, says Julia.

A breast screen, or screening mam-mogram, is an x-ray that can pick up small changes in the breast tissue, before they can be felt or noticed, says Julia.

Its remains the most effective way for women over 50, to detect breast cancer in its early stages, she says.

It is strongly recommended that all women aged between 50 and 69 years have a free breastscreen every two years at a Breast Screen Queensland Service.

Its also important for women of all ages to be breast aware and see their doctor without delay if they notice any new or unusual breast changes that concern them.

Information resources, such as the new brochure entitled Breast Cancer: How can I reduce my risk?,

can be ordered free of charge through the website at www.breastscreen.qld.gov.au

For more information or to arrange a free breast screen appointment, phone 13 20 50.

QPilates focuses so much on your core muscles. Why is the core so important in fitness and health? - ephraim IslandA: Pilates teaches you to engage your core which consists of the deep abdominal muscles, along with the muscles closest to the spine. These muscles include the internal and external obliques, the transverse abdominis or TVA, and the rectus femoris.

The TVA is the deepest of the abdominal muscles and is arguably the most vital muscles of the core.

All powerful movements originate from your core. A strong core keeps your trunk stable, enabling you to generate great force with your arms and legs. These full-body functional movements are the basis for most sports. A strong core will also help keep your back healthy. The core muscles align your spine, pelvis and

rib cage. They also help determine your posture, and a strong core distributes the stresses of weight-bearing and protects the back. It can also correct postural imbalances that can lead to injuries. To help avoid back pain, focus on developing your core. v Information provided by Scott Rawcliffe, Sanctuary Cove Rec Club. If you have any fitness questions, email [email protected]

Q I have been told by my employer that I can include certain fringe benefits in my salary package. I am not sure if I should bother with it because it seems very complicated. What should I do?A: Well, you are absolutely right. It is a complicated area. One of the simplest areas of salary packaging you can do is to make additional contributions into superannuation. Not only does this increase your final retirement benefits, but it can, in the case of some State government employees, result in a higher after-tax take home pay, while still retaining all other benefits.

More complex rules apply in relation to motor vehicle salary packaging. We recommend this as a good option where you still have non deductible home loan debt, and especially if you are going to

purchase a motor vehicle that is mid range cost, and travelling high kilometres. For example, a $20,000 car, travelling 30,000 kilometres a year, for a person on average Australian income could save $2,835 per annum in tax, when packaged as a novated lease using the employee contribution method. The pre tax value of that benefit is $4139. Would you knock back a $4139 pay rise, just because it is a bit complicated?

If you work in a public, or not-for-profit hospital, or an ambulance service, you can get up to $17,000 worth of benefits free from Fringe Benefits Tax. And if you work for a Public Benevolent Institution, or a Health Promotion charity, you can package up to $30,000 worth of benefits tax free. The range of benefits that can be packaged for employees in these sectors is quite extensive, and includes school fees, rent, interest on home loan payments, electricity and much more. The savings could be up to $13,950, in addition to the savings on vehicle salary packaging mentioned above.

So although it is complicated, it is well worth getting professional advice, especially if your vehicle travels 15,000 kilometres or more per year, or if you work in the health and not-for-profit sectors.vInformation provided by Quill Group.
