It has been my pleasure to serve this community over the years and many of our customers are like family. We have shared good times and sad times together. I feel honoured that they respect me in this way and will continue to care for them in the future”.
Louise reached the 15 year milestone last week. “I have worked at Amcal for 15 years, starting when I was still at school. I have worked in various roles including pharmacy assistant, stock manager and now dispensary technician. I enjoy working here as everyday presents a new challenge and I appreciate the relationships I have built with customers over this time.”

A young Peter Campbell inspects a kerb in the early 70s. More than anyone else Peter was the man who helped build Albany Creek into the suburb we know today.
A fond farewell to Peter Campbell - Mr Albany Creek There are few local Albany Creek residents who won’t know the name Peter Campbell. Our most respected and loved friend passed away recently and for the hundreds who attended his memorial service he will be greatly missed. Peter grew up on a poultry farm near Albany Creek, the place that had been home to the Campbell clan since the late 1800s. Peter’s love of Albany Creek, its history, its people and yarns can be seen when reading “Yarns of Yesteryear”, the collection of stories, poems and yarns that Peter published, tells the story of the place he loved so much. (You will find a turn page copy of Yarns of Yesteryear on the Buzz website). Peter’s early formative years were spent at Albany Creek State School and then Wavell High School. He started his own Real Estate agency in 1970. In those days Albany Creek was a small hamlet out in the sticks, with cows grazing in fields in the middle of the village. Peter’s successful business grew alongside the suburb that he loved. Peter invested his time and energy in building much of the infrastructure, land estates and community services that we enjoy today. Over the years he became the face of Albany Creek and was often seen in his early model green Ford Fairmont cars, which he drove around the area for over 40 years.
12
Peters lifetime of service to the Albany Creek Community was acknowledged with an Order of Australia in 2007
The Peter Campbell Realty Fords which Peter drove for 40 years.
Throughout his life Peter was involved in so many local charities and he gave so much back to the community he loved, his achievements are too numerous to list but here are a few of his many awards: • OAM for services to the Albany Creek Community (Order of Australia) • Paul Harris Fellowship Award • Real Estate Institute of Qld Fellow • Justice of the Peace • Patron of the Albany Creek Garden Club • Patron of the Albany Creek Girl Guides A modest and humble gentleman, Peter would lend his time and support to anyone who needed a helping hand. Peter’s generosity and enthusiasm were constant, from the Albany Creek Scouts, the High School, Lions and Rotary, Music Awards, Art Alliance, Kindergartens, Community
Centres and many more. Few missed out on Peter’s support and generosity. It was a privilege to have known Peter Campbell. I knew him during the time he was battling illness and I was always amazed at his capacity to be happy and positive. Of course Peter’s first love was his family and it is they who are in our thoughts as they remember their beloved husband, father and grandfather. His son Matt and daughter Janie continue his Real Estate legacy and have recently moved to new premises on Albany Creek Road, we wish them well. After Peter’s passing I feel Albany Creek will never be quite the same again, but for those of us who knew him, we will never forget Peter Matthew Langley Campbell, or as I like to think of him ‘Mr Albany Creek’.

Among its many fundraising activities the Albany Creek Rotary Club are running their Annual Book Sale which takes place in March at Albany Creek State School. It’s an easy way to pick up some great books with thousands of titles from fiction to children’s books. Entry is free and every book purchased will help Albany Creek Rotary Club in their much needed fundraising efforts.
There is something special about being part of the Albany Creek Rotary Club. If you ask people why they join, most will tell you “because it’s fun!” The Rotary Club of Albany Creek is made up of locals who are interested in supporting their local and wider community. They don’t just raise funds for local and international courses, they also have a lot of fun
Join the Club If you are looking to meet interesting locals who are active in the community, why not drop in to the Albany Creek Tavern on a Tuesday night at 6pm. You don’t have to be a member of Rotary, just drop in for dinner with some of the members, you will be made to feel very welcome.

Meet the Inspirational Turia Pitt Turia Pitt, a woman synonymous with an inspiring tale of courage and survival, will be the special guest speaker of the inaugural Inspiring Women, luncheon hosted at the Belvedere Hotel on Friday, 27 February 2015. An initiative of Our Village Foundation, Inspiring Women is a series of extraordinary networking events acknowledging the remarkable achievements of women and the important role they play in the Moreton Bay community. At its helm, Corporate Relations Manager, Alison Kennedy, is excited to provide this unique opportunity to likeminded women to learn and leverage off each other in an intimate setting and is thrilled to have Turia as the first guest speaker. “Anyone that has heard of the inspiring story of Turia Pitt will understand just how qualified she is to kick-off our first Inspiring Women Luncheon,” Alison explains. In September 2011, Turia Pitt, a beautiful 25-year-old mining engineer working her dream job in the far north of Western Australia, entered an ultra-marathon race that would change her life forever. Trapped by fire in a gorge in the remote Kimberly region, Turia escaped with catastrophic burns to 65 per cent of her body.
32
Since, Turia has endured countless operations and as a true testimony to her character and strength, Turia has gone on to achieve great things. These include being named the ‘NSW Premier’s Woman of the Year’; a finalist for ‘Young Australian of the Year’; gracing the cover of the Australian Women’s Weekly and is a wellrecognised humanitarian. Join Turia and other inspirational women for a threecourse meal and drinks package at The Belvedere Hotel. “Inspiring Women is the sort of event that women will want to come along to, because they know they are in for a fantastic afternoon of good food, wine and even better company, and I hope they will walk away feeling inspired,” explains Alison. Tickets are $79 per person, or a table of 10 for $700. Purchase online at www.ourvillage.com.au. Tickets are on sale now but are limited and are expected to sell out. Inspiring Women is only possible thanks to the generous support of local businesses including The Belvedere Hotel, Remax Property Shop, Sesame Lane Child Care, Helloworld, Scenic Tours and Margate Community Bank.
For more information about Inspiring Women or to purchase tickets, visit www.ourvillage.com.au

Jetty to Jetty run away success! Registrations open for 2015 Jetty 2 Jetty Fun Run Whether you train all year round, or have set yourself a new fitness goal for 2015, it’s time to pull out your running shoes and start training for the Jetty 2 Jetty Fun Run.
“This is the first time we have been able to offer prize money, and it’s about time that we offer this to the more serious runners who compete on the annual running calendar,” explains Kate.
The region’s most popular fun run is back in 2015, and online registrations for the Jetty 2 Jetty open Monday, 23 February.
“Each year we see a diverse range of people, of all ages, having a bit of fun – with everyone from BallyCara residents, mother groups, businesses and fitness groups – it really is such a varied group of participants which is just great to see,” said Kate.
With four race categories, including the half marathon (21km), 10km, 5km or 3km, Race Director Kate Jackson guarantees that there is a race to suit everybody, and every fitness level. “Over 4,000 runners take part in the Jetty 2 Jetty each year, and we have people running for all different reasons; whether to challenge themselves, beat their time last year, or to have a bit of fun,” she said. For the first time in 2015, Jetty 2 Jetty will offer a cash prize pool valued at $6,800 to attract serious runners from throughout South-East Queensland. The prize pool for the half marathon is available to male and female winners, with a massive $1,000 for first place, $600 for second place and $400 for third place.
For the first time this year, each entrant in the half marathon or 10km category will receive a free Jetty 2 Jetty singlet as part of their registration. Entrants in the 5km and 3km categories will receive a Jetty 2 Jetty visor. For more information or to register, visit www.jetty2jetty.com.au or call 07 3883 0107 The Jetty 2 Jetty Fun Run is an annual event, with the start and finish line located at Crockatt Park, Woody Point. The Jetty 2 Jetty Fun Run is made possible thanks to the support of the Moreton Bay Road Runners, Our Village Foundation and Major Sponsors including the Moreton Bay Regional Council.

Les’s Driving Passion! To say Les Hanifin likes cars is like saying Richie Benaud likes cricket. Les has spent his life around cars and owns several service centres including Hanos Car Care in Albany Creek. So what sort of hobby does Les have? He collects cars, but not just any car, this Albany Creek local has some of the most sort after muscle cars in Australia. Here are the 3 cars Les loves the most. The Purple car is a 1971 XY Ford Falcon an aussie musle car built in Sydney, I purchased the car 2 yrs ago it was a winner of Summernats in 2010, the biggest car event in Australia. It won grand champion the car was a full blown show car known as blowjo. Its previous owner had spent $250.000 plus on the build. After buying the car Hanos Car Care rebuilt the car to make it a streetable driver. We have only just finished the rebuild, it now runs a 393 cube Cleveland Stroker with cross over injection, Fully Adjustable coil overs,4 link rear end, C4 Auto fully manualised, 4 wheels disc brakes, 20inch wheels, the engine is a 600hp performance motor. The complete under body of the car is fully smoothened. This model is a real Aussie Icon and proudly serviced by Hanos. The silver car is a 1955Chev Belair two door pillarless sports coupe. It was originally an American car imported to Brisbane and had a full body off resto. It now runs an LS Injected motor making 500HP with a 4L60E 4 speed auto, 4 wheel disc brakes, 20inch wheels, electric windows, Air Con. The car was rebuilt in 2010 and has won many car shows. Its one of my collection that I drive regularly. The car is serviced and repaired and all upgrades done at Hanos Car Care. The cream car is a 1955 FJ Holden out of GMH in Sydney. Its my first Collector car, this car was rebuilt back in 1995 to its Original show room finish keeping it stock standard with no mods apart from a set of wheel trims this car has also won lots of awards the FJ Holden is Holdens second model the first being the FX.
