Personally Speaking with Susannah Friis If you’re anything like us, your garden shed is a structure fraught with danger with items stacked like a house of cards, liable to fall down with a domino effect if a bucket is even slightly moved.

Well, a weekend or two ago, my husband ventured in to get a couple of nails. This removal caused four shelves and their contents, which were nowhere near the small drawer containing the nails, to collapse in spectacular fashion to the ground.

So, yes, you guessed it, the next day was Operation Clean up the Shed day. The end result is a lovely, tidy, organised shed. As the previous configuration of tools and garden paraphernalia clearly wasn’t working, there was much rearranging and throwing out of rubbish and disused items.

After the hard work was done, we sat back with that satisfied but oh-so-exhausted feeling and enjoyed a well earned cold beverage. And my husband quipped, “Funny how it took it all falling down and making even more of a mess for us to organise it...and now it’s better than before.”

And I thought, ain’t that always the way! So often in life, it takes something collapsing to motivate us to ‘clear things out’ and rearrange them into a better configuration.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve lamented over something not going right or falling down or creating a bigger mess only to realise with hindsight that without that collapse or bigger mess, other great things wouldn’t have happened.

And the other thing is that while we were cleaning up and organising the shed, it looked way worse than when we started. The mess seemed to get bigger and other messes were discovered the more we tried to get it organised. There were things we found that we thought were lost and many an item was reevaluated and deemed ‘tip worthy’, which freed up space.

Just like our lives, quite often when we’re in the midst of change, hoping for an end result that is better than how we started, it looks and feels more disorganised than when we began. And in that clearing out process, we can find things that need throwing out; things like resentment, bitterness, grudges, guilt or blame. Once we get rid of those things that lay buried underneath stuff we’ve piled on top, we also discover and make room for things like reconciliation, peace, laughter and the freedom that comes with letting go of guilt and blame.

It’s easy to let the rubbish build up and up until just moving one thing can bring it all crashing down but we all do it, just like most of us don’t keep an orderly shed or garage all of the time. But how wonderful when we finally clean it up and can enjoy the new tidier space within us, freeing us up to use all the contents of our ‘shed’ to their full potential, without fear of another shelf collapse!

Does your ‘shed’ need a tidy up? Why not venture in there and get a head start? You might just be surprised what you’ll uncover as you start to clean up the mess and get to the forgotten treasure underneath.

FEDER AL MEMBER FOR OXLE Y

As our workforce changes and evolves it’s important that we are keeping ahead of the curve by training our young people to meet demand.

We need to be doing all we can to support local businesses.

Equipping young people with the right skills and training is a key part of this and is one of my top priorities for the region.

Recently I had the pleasure of hosting the Shadow Minister for Skills and Apprenticeships and Shadow Minister for Housing and Homelessness Senator Doug Cameron in our community.

Senator Cameron and I received a firsthand look at two businesses: Wild Breads and Cummins Diesel Engineering who are both providing significant job opportunities for local residents.

Both businesses stressed to me the important of giving our young people the right skills and training for them to succeed in the modern workplace.

At Cummins I was fortunate to meet Branch Manager Sean Hill, Northern Region Apprentice Manager Amy Jacobs and Oliver Neville who is a 3rd year apprentice on site. Oliver told me about how much he valued and enjoyed his apprenticeship which gave him the skills to succeed right into the future.

A large part of supporting jobs and apprentices means investing and funding our local TAFE branches to provide young people with the critical education and support they need.

Everybody deserves the best possible start to getting a good job, and I have witnessed the transformational power of TAFE over a long period of time.

Not every student graduating wants to go to university and our TAFE’s provide a vital avenue particularly for young people to become skilled in a trade. I’ll be continuing to fight for the funding that our TAFE’s need to help our young people with the education they deserve.

As always, if there is every anything I can help with please email me Milton.Dick.MP@aph.gov or get in touch with my office on 3879 6440.

Local resident Bharad Bhatt with Councillor Sheila Ireland at the recently reopened Edge Park.

Edge Park, in Springfield Lakes, has reopened after receiving a much needed makeover.

Locals are now welcome to enjoy new senior play equipment and a ping-pong table. This is in addition to the existing half court, open kick around area, recreational pathways and picnic facilities.

Residents Marion Smith and Robert Chapman, pushed for the upgrade after vandals destroyed the previous pingpong table.

Mr Chapman said, “I enjoyed playing table tennis in the park, but when it was taken away I went to Councillor Ireland for help.�

Councillor for Division 9, Cr Sheila Ireland said, “This will be a great asset to the area. I’m sure everyone in the Springfield Lakes area will get some good use of this park.�

The Park is located off Park Edge Drive in Springfield Lakes, and families are invited to embrace this new community facility which is now open and ready for residents of Division 9.

Since Cr David Morrison was elected in 2000, he has made it a priority to meet with the school leaders from the schools within Division 1.

This year, student leaders from Camira SS, The Springfield Anglican College, Hymba Yumba, Woodcrest State College and Springfield Lakes State School met with Cr David Morrison to discuss leadership. There was also much discussion regarding what is happening in the Greater Springfield Area, what Ipswich City offers youth as well as an opportunity for the students to express any ideas they have to improve our community.

Cr David Morrison said the student leaders were a credit to their schools and families and is very encouraged by the attitude of the youth who will soon be young adults within our community.

Sensor networks the next step in Smart City rollout The installation of sensor networks that connect and relay data at three key locations is the next step in Ipswich’s Smart City evolution.

The networks will be installed at the Ipswich CBD, Springfield Central and Rosewood as part of council’s commitment to leading economic and social change.

Mayor Paul Pisasale said the move further enhanced the city’s status as an early adopter.

“The sensor networks lay the platform for community and commercial opportunities, testing technology in the areas of water, waste and lighting management, solar energy, precinct maintenance, traffic management and user engagement,” he said.

“They use low power, long range, low bandwith networks under the LoRaWAN standard, relaying data between a number of nodes and a central gateway.

“This continues our digital journey and advances the Ipswich Smart City Blueprint, which was officially adopted in September last year as a roadmap for innovation and co-ordination.

“The blueprint means we can start assessing areas of council and the community that have the greatest opportunity for innovative improvement.

“One of these areas includes public spaces, and that’s why we’re taking steps to revolutionise the sites and the community experiences that come with them.

“The networks will be assessed and expanded as the Smart City program progresses.”

Local group holds first art show Local art group, Arts, Laughs n Crafts, recently held their first Art Show, the Hannah Bassett Art Show, named after the founder of the group who sadly passed away just days before the show.

Formed in January 2011 the group has up to 14 participants each week and provides support and peer to peer artistic mentoring.

“The group is for painting, sketching, even colouring in, as well as all sorts of crafts,” said coordinator Lyn Kally.

“People bring their own equipment and while we don’t have regular weekly tutors, experienced members happily help newbies with tips and tricks.

“However, we do invite tutors from time to time. In January, Bob Edyvean from the Bundamba Men’s Shed came along. The first week he showed us how to paint handsaws, and on the second, he showed us a variety of techniques.”

The group welcomes anyone over 35 and meets on Tuesdays from noon - 2.45pm at the air conditioned hall (adjacent to the main building) at Springfield Camira Community Centre. There is an annual membership cost of $15 with a $3 cost each week for group attendance. All supplies must be brought along by participants although an afternoon cuppa is provided.

The group are hoping to hold another Art Show in November and are already busily preparing new pieces to have ready for sale.

“The quantity and quality of exhibitors was extraordinary,” said Lyn. “The Hannah Bassett Art Show was a quality exhibition and we’re hoping to repeat it closer to Christmas when plenty of wonderful pieces will be available for people to purchase as presents for loved ones.”

If you’re interested in joining this fun and friendly group, contact Lyn by calling 0438 290 438 or sending an email to lyn.scf.wcc@gmail.com.

What’s on at Ipswich Civic Centre?

Lovers and Losers Presented by Bishopp in association with Ipswich Civic Centre as part of the 2017 Ipswich Festival Award-winning performers Tyrone Noonan, Sandro Colarelli and Alison St Ledger are having a three-way (conversation that is) about the prickly subject of love: old love, new love and, if you’re lucky, true love.

Lovers and Losers looks at both sides of the same coin with songs that celebrate and commiserate. Songs that tell of passion, jealousy and hate, of fanciful flights and sweet delight.

With songs by the likes of Tom Waits, Dolly Parton, Burt Backarach, Kander and Ebb, and Jimmy Webb, and those made famous by Frank Sinatra, Roberta Flack and even Guns n’ Roses, Lovers and Losers promises to be a ‘no holds barred’ cabaret featuring three extraordinary voices interpreting some of the best love songs of the 20th century.

Sounds Of The 60s Presented by Ipswich Civic Centre as part of the 2017 Ipswich Festival Australia’s greatest soul voice, Doug Parkinson, presents the ultimate tribute to Joe Cocker.

A night of soul and rock classics, the electric current runs high, generated from the very talented eight-piece band and of course the powerful and unique voice of Doug Parkinson.

Joe Cocker was an irresistible force that combined a love of American soul music with standout interpretations and a depth of feeling, terms often used to describe the soulful smoky voice of Australian singing legend Doug Parkinson.

Cocker is most famous for what he did with other people’s songs Hitchcock Railway, Delta Lady, You Can Leave Your Hat On, She Came In Through The Bathroom Window, The Letter, You Are So Beautiful, Up Where We Belong, and Cry Me A River.

Charlotte McLean Part of Studio 188‘s Groove & Grape series Charlotte McLean is emerging as one of Australia’s most captivating and original young vocalists. Having completed her Bachelor of Jazz Music in Voice at the renowned Jazz Music Institute, her exemplary skills as an improviser allow her to put a fresh spin on classic jazz repertoire.

Possessed of a velvety-smooth voice, she produces her own addictive style, and her original tunes have garnered critical and popular acclaim.

Performing regularly at Jazz Clubs and corporate events in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, Charlotte is also currently honing her skills as a voice technician for her students, of which she has a solid base. Charlotte has had a passion for writing music and performing from an early age, and was delighted to release her debut album Knocking Bird in July 2014 with acclaimed jazz guitarist Toby Wren.

April is Autism Awareness month SPRINGFIELD ORION

Before After For most parents, taking your child to the hairdressers is a routine chore that requires little thought but for some other parents, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge effort that takes considerable coordination and forethought.

For Forest Lake residents Paul and Rachael, taking their six year old son, Oisin, who is on the autism spectrum, to the hairdressers was an ordeal as he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bear to have his hair or head touched by anyone.

Until recently, Paul and Rachael had resorted to cutting their sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hair, which was constantly in his eyes, when he was asleep. That was until Paul had his hair cut by Michelle at iBarber, Forest Lake Shopping Centre and started talking with Michelle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paul mentioned Oisin and about how he was on the spectrum and has hyper sensitivity, and that we would normally wait till he was asleep before cutting his hair ourselves,â&#x20AC;? said Rachael. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Michelle offered to work with Oisin and to cut his hair but to do it at his pace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started last November. The first time Oisin just said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Helloâ&#x20AC;?, the second time Michelle managed to comb his hair. Slowly but surely after starting off at one snip she has worked with Oisin up to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lots of snipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,which is as many as he can handle in one sitting.â&#x20AC;?

With the promise of a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;treatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; after his hair cut, Oisin now sits in the waiting area while other customers have their hair cut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both Paul and I have thanked Michelle for her continuing patience and work with Oisin. Michelle, a mother herself, has said that she treats Oisin the way she hopes her daughter would be treated - with respect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would absolutely recommend Michelle to any other parents with children who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have their hair cut.

When Michelle is with Oisin, she is 100% focused on him, everything is dictated by Oisin and what he can handle.

She is patient, caring and calming.â&#x20AC;?

April is Autism Awareness Month with 2nd April being World Autism Awareness day. One child in 63 school children are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) making the condition more common than cerebral palsy, diabetes, deafness, blindness and leukaemia put together.* There is also a higher incidence of ASD in males than females. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see how you can help raise awareness for austism, go to www.goblueforautism.com. au for more information. *www.a4.org.au/prevalence2015

Mary has worked her whole life as a teacher and has taught and nurtured many children throughout her teaching career. She is a mother who has raised her own children. The children she has nurtured at school are grown now and have left school – many with children of their own.

Her own children are adults – with families of their own.

Mary and her husband Peter recently retired. The responsibilities and pressures of a lifetime in the workforce had fallen away. The knowledge, commitment and experience which for so long made them so successful in their workplaces were no longer needed.

So Mary and Peter began to look around and think about building new lives in their retirement. They wanted to be available for family commitments. They both engaged in hobbies they enjoyed. Voluntary work and the feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction that comes with helping others provided some measure of satisfaction.

They decided a new social group was what was needed – one in which they could both be involved and preferably one which met in their local area.

They discovered the Probus Club of Goodna-Springfield where meetings are held each month and include a guest speaker and afternoon tea. Each month, members meet for a coffee morning and a lunch and there is also an outing planned.

Mary and Peter were very interested. Plenty to keep them occupied and new friendships to explore. Further investigation revealed that the Probus Club of GoodnaSpringfield is non-political, non-sectarian and nonfundraising. Although they had spent many years involved with fundraising in non-profit organisations they wanted a break from that. Lots of boxes were being ticked.

They contacted the club and were invited along to a meeting. They began attending the functions on offer and making new friends. They decided to join as members and now include the activities of the Goodna-Springfield Probus Club and interactions with other members as part of their full and rich lives in retirement.

Are you retired or semi-retired and looking for a social outlet? The Probus Club of Goodna-Springfield meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 1.30pm at Langley Hall (cnr Langley Rd and Bruce Ln) in Camira.

If you would like to come along to a meeting or need more information, please phone Penny on 3818 7981 or email gsprobus08@outlook.com. You will be given a warm welcome.

The future starts here at TSAC At The Springfield Anglican College, all staff are serious about providing students with the best opportunities to challenge and extend themselves academically. With a firm belief in the limitless potential of young people, teachers are committed to providing the best academic programs to allow their students to succeed.

Understanding that the foundation skills and study habits are developed in the early years of education, the College provides exceptional curriculum and teaching staff from Kindergarten to Year 12 to facilitate the development of those skills.

However, staff are also very aware that in the senior years of a person’s schooling, very specific learning strategies need to be employed to ensure that they develop lifelong learning skills in order to maximise their academic output, allowing them access to the best tertiary and further education pathways.

As well as a rich, varied and challenging curriculum, a variety of additional strategies are used to ensure the best academic outcomes for our students.

Mr Mike King, Head of eLearning, explains, “Our Learning Analytics Program is a progressive reporting system that gives students academic results and an overview of their progress in real time. This allows teachers, parents and students to see specific strengths and areas for development, which in turn allows teaching staff to tailor learning programs and strategies to individual need.”

In addition, each student in Year 11 and 12 is allocated an academic mentor, who uses the analytical data in goal setting and in helping students reach their academic and long term tertiary and career objectives.

TSAC principal Darren Pitt, heads a The College’s Altitude Extension Program is also key in allowing teachers to talented team of academic professionals. extend and challenge the high achieving students.

“The program provides students with the opportunity to extend and enrich their learning, primarily with the area of STEM such as Bioengineering, Encryption, App development and Coding,” said Coordinator Lorraine Breingan.

The Springfield Anglican College is committed to providing opportunities for every one of their students to be at their best, and this includes thriving in their academic studies.

Academic Scholarships are currently being offered. For more information, please visit www.tsac.qld.edu.au.

Veterinary News

by Dr Ian Gorrie BVSc

Heart failure in pets Heart failure occurs when the heart fails to pump enough blood to meet the body’s demands. This causes changes in the body as it tries to support a faltering system.

These changes include increased blood pressure, increased heart rate and fluid retention.

Heart disease can have many origins. It can be caused by changes in the heart’s muscular walls, defects of the valves separating the chambers of the heart or narrowing of the vessels leaving the heart. As with humans, heart abnormalities can exist at birth or can develop late in life and of course in pets, heartworm can be a contributing factor.

When the heart is unable to function correctly, there is a build up of fluid pressure within the circulatory system.

This can cause “leakage” of fluid into the chest or abdomen and is responsible for many of the clinical signs seen with heart disease.

These signs include: coughing; difficulty breathing; engorgement of veins (often can be seen in the jugular vein in the neck); swollen abdomen (ascites - fluid in the abdominal cavity); enlarged liver; weight loss; decreased exercise tolerance - the dog tires easily; pale or purple mucous membranes; cool extremities (toes, tips of ears etc); fluid swelling of lower limbs.

If you suspect your pet is suffering from heart disease, it is wise to have it examined by your veterinarian.

Diagnosis of heart disease begins with a thorough physical examination. Listening to the patient’s chest with a stethoscope can allow the veterinarian to identify any abnormal heart sounds, rhythms or lung sounds. If an abnormality is suspected, the next step is to x-ray the chest. Chest x-rays show the size and shape of the heart silhouette, any blood vessel enlargement within the chest and any changes in the lungs.

Ultrasound of the heart is a technique that is very useful. It is used to see the size of the heart chambers, the degree of contraction of the heart and more advanced ultrasound machines can even show the direction of blood flow through the heart.

An ECG is another way to investigate heart disease.

This device records the electrical impulses across the heart as nerves fire to stimulate the heart to beat. ECG’s are useful to determine any changes in the heart’s rhythm and can give an indication of changes of heart chamber size. Other tests such as blood and urine tests can help determine changes caused by heart disease and are often recommended before therapy for heart disease is started.

Many different therapies for heart disease are available depending on the type and severity of the disorder. Most pets with mild heart disease respond well to therapy and can have an extended life span with treatment.

Unfortunately, many heart conditions are progressive; this is why diagnosis of heart disease can be very important to give a more accurate prognosis. Therapy for heart disease is lifelong once started and generally requires regular rechecks to assess the stage of heart disease and any changes occurring.

New local business makes caring for your pet easy Recently opened in the greater Springfield region, Springfield Pet Supplies is a small local premium pet food supply business offering great products at great prices and free delivery within the local area.

This new family business was set up by Paul Lister, who has been a Springfield resident for over 19 years and partner, Danielle.

Pet lovers Paul and Danielle felt options for premium pet supplies were limited and what was available didn’t provide customers with cost savings. The business was started to benefit the locals who can save on quality products and enjoy a high level of customer service at the same time.

“We understand the importance of pets getting the best start in life,” said Paul. “Feeding premium pet food brings many added benefits to your pets long term health, possibly reducing those expensive vets bills.”

Products stocked range from Royal Canin, Eukanuba, Hill’s Science Diet, Black Hawk, Iams and Bravecto and many others.

With bulk order options, Springfield Pet Supplies offers residents an easy way to order premium pet food at very competitive prices. The free delivery service is available to the Greater Springfield Region and with time slots from Monday to Friday between 6 and 8pm, Saturday 9am to 5pm, and Sunday upon request.

“Not only will your products be delivered to your door but if you need a hand to get them to where you usually store your pets food, I’m more than happy to help,” said Paul. “It’s all part of the service.”

Normal turnaround times for delivery are one to two days, depending on stock availability. Springfield Pet Supplies will work to get your products to you as soon as possible after your order is placed and payment is received.

“As there are so many products on the market these days, if you can’t find your product online, you can request a quote and we’ll see if your product can be sourced at a better price than you normally pay elsewhere.”

Springfield Pet Supplies can also provide pet treats, toys, winter jackets and much more.

THE CREATIVE heART

by Jolanta Szymczyk

The art of exhibiting Suzie Porter, of Springfield Lakes, and Jolanta Szymczyk, of Bellbird Park, both long term members of Greater Springfield Creative Heart, are winding down after an exciting and successful collaborative exhibition with gallery owner and artist in her own right, Wyn Vogel from South Brisbane’s newest creative space, Fish Lane Studio.

They attribute the event’s success to combined energy, vision and passion driving the artists to engage their work with a larger audience with humble beginnings taking its root to the local creative community.

An art exhibition is always a special event and often a major milestone in an artists life. The event creates a festive atmosphere, filled with pride and joy but also is a pinnacle of weeks of planning, preparation and a huge amount of hard work. The gallery ambience and professional curatorship brings the best out of both, the artists and the artwork at a point in time. The exhibition launch creates a buzz amongst all involved, their own communities as well as in the gallery’s location. Events like that bring and draw community and people together to interact, meet and enrich, and explore talents and people’s creative pursuits.

“Creating a high level of anticipation and excitement is essential for a successful opening,” says Suzie Porter, artist and owner of Springfield Lakes based graphic design studio, Big Hello Design.

“We created the event marketing to introduce the audience to the artists and to show a little of what would be on offer. To make a cohesive group exhibition work it’s critical to bring common threads and themes together amongst the artists so the works, however different in style and medium, still feel from the same story.”

Being available to speak with anyone who shows any level of interest in your art is also essential.

The new people dropping in and the first timers are those ones who need to be made feel especially welcome. The better people understand one’s art and the deeper the connection they will develop with the creator, an artist or the gallery’s practice the more inclined they will become to buy. So get out there and mingle and create your creative networks!

Learn and share more about your creative pursuits at the Greater Springfield Creative HeART’s regular catch ups.

War-time quilts on show at Ipswich Art Gallery A rare and extensive collection of quilts provides an insight into the recreational pursuits of soldiers in war time when War-Time Quilts: Quilts from Military Fabrics with the display now on at Ipswich Art Gallery.

The exhibition, from now until 25 June, has been curated by renowned quilt historian Annette Gero and includes quilts from as early as 1710 through to the end of the 19th century.

Among the exhibition is notable quilt Instarsia with Soldiers (pictured), one of the oldest in the collection, made from wool and most likely the uniforms of the Prussian soldiers it features.

Arts and Social Development Committee Chairman Councillor Charlie Pisasale said the exhibition offered an uncommon perspective on the traditions of quilting.

“For most people, quilts are associated with comfort and warmth so it is absolutely fascinating to consider that amid times of stress and extreme conditions of war men turned their hands to quilting to pass the time,” Cr Pisasale said.

“As a country that has experienced war and conflict, it is important to recognise the creative outcomes of these times in history.

“Quilting is such a traditional and historic craft and it is exciting to see it here in an exhibition that will intrigue audiences of all ages.”

Entry to War Time Quilts: Quilts from Military Fabrics is by gold coin donation. The Ipswich Art Gallery is open daily from 10am to 5pm.

Alzheimer’s is a disease with currently no cure. With an ageing population. the number of people with the disease is increasing each year. It is a disease that impacts family and friends with the majority of carers being clinically depressed, sleep deprived, anxious and in desperate need of some time out with their loved one attending respite.

Centre based respite and social support is critical to providing relief for the carers and reliable ongoing support for the client.

All older people (including those who have Dementia) have the right to continue to enjoy the ‘good things’ in life, have meaningful roles, and engage in activities that are enjoyable to them.

At the Ipswich based Dementia Respite Centre’s Rosemary Cottage, they can participate in social and artistic activities. Outings and activities are planned to meet the interests of each individual and they can also participate in small group outings, community functions, local clubs and shopping excursions.

Being able to fulfil these roles and activities requires access to transport that is suitable for small groups of people, many of whom have Dementia or are frail of age.

To support Rosemary Cottage in providing transport for their client’s activities, the Rotary Club of Greater Springfield is fundraising and seeking sponsors in its quest to provide a car for the respite centre.

The Rotary Club is hosting a Gala Cocktail Fundraiser Party at the Brookwater Golf and Country Club on Saturday 27th May at 6.30pm with the gala evening supporting Alzheimers Queensland and raising awareness for Dementia.

If you wish to support the Rotary Club of Greater Springfield’s vision to support people living with dementia, and the Rosemary Cottage Respite Centre, whether as a sponsor or as a participant in the club’s Gala Cocktail Party, please phone Fiona on 0413 801 300.

The Rotary Club of Greater Springfield holds its meetings every Thursday evening at 6.30pm at the Brookwater Golf and Country Club, 1 Tournament Drive, Brookwater. For enquiries, contact Club President Chris Steinback on 0411 472 684.

a look back at Greater Springfield with Cr David Morrison

Lone Pine Trees

On the afternoon of 6 August 1915, at Gallipoli, when the Battle of Lone Pine began, a solitary pine tree stood on a rise known as Lone Pine Ridge.

Sergeant Keith McDowell returned to Australia with a cone he collected from the remains of the Lone pine.

Sergeant McDowell gave the cone to his aunt Emma Gray who planted the seeds twelve years later; five sprouted and four survived.

From the four surviving trees, other seeds have germinated into seedlings and been planted around Australia.

Springfield Central has two Lone Pine Trees that are related to the original tree Cr David Morrison planting the Lone from Gallipoli. At the 2008 ANZAC Dawn Pine Tree at USQ in 2008 when it was Service, I, along with Federal Member the size of a pencil.

Bernie Ripoll, had the honour of planning the first Lone Pine Tree at USQ Springfield Central, which was later transplanted to Robelle Domain. The other is planted at St Peter’s Lutheran College, Springfield Central.

Due to the relocation of the ANZAC Dawn Memorial Service from USQ Springfield Central to Robelle Domain, it was decided to relocate the Lone Pine Tree from USQ Springfield Central to Robelle Domain in 2014. The Lone Pine will stand tall in a place of community significance. This year’s ANZAC morning service will be held at Robelle Domain commencing at 5.15am.

Pictured left: The Lone Pine Tree today stands tall behind the Springfield Central ADF Memorial in Robelle Domain.

Update by Pat Quickfall

The history of Camira Friends and Neighbours The club was formed in November 1989 with a small group at the Community Hall Camira on Old Logan road. In 1992, as the club continued to grow, we moved to the hall in Langley road. The Ipswich City Council decided to build us a new clubhouse, so whilst the clubhouse was being built, we moved into the Scout Hut. The new clubhouse was ready in 2012 and we moved in with about 100 members.

The numbers currently stand at 128 members with three of our oldest members having been with the club since it opened: Gosh Butler, Val Maylnn and Irene Jeffreys.

This is a great club with gettogether’s every Wednesday morning where we enjoy Trivia, cards and Pictured above is the Committee for 2017 games, hoy, raffle days, cafe nights and also a bus trip every two months. We also have a yearly tour which this year is for 10 days, leaving on 26th April to the Hunter Valley and Blue Mountains.

We return on 6th May and there are two seats left. If anyone is interested in coming along, please ring Val on 3288 2689.

The first week in March we held our AGM so there was no guest speaker that day. Our new committee is President Suzanne Jessen, Secretary Sue Pomroy and Treasurer Andrew Bull.

We had a Trivia morning on 8th March and on 15th March, we tried out a new game ‘Who am I?’ which was a good morning with a lovely morning tea.

It was cards and games on 22nd March with Show and Tell on 29th March. If you’d like to join in on all the fun we have, you can ring me, Pat, on 3818 9343.

Greater Springfield VIEW Club Update

by Robyne Apps On 22 March four (4) of our ladies officially joined VIEW Clubs of Australia. The photo records this event with President Gaynor of Centenary Evening VIEW at the front and Robyne Apps from the Greater Springfield Development team at the back. It was an exciting night as President Gaynor explained the membership procedures to the ladies and the social and fund raising activities of Centenary Evening VIEW Club. These ladies will start a sub membership of Centenary Evening VIEW Club and as other Greater Springfield ladies join, once the club number is achieved, we will have an inaugural meeting to commence the Greater Springfield VIEW Club.

We will be extremely appreciative to the Centenary Evening club for their support and assistance during this interim time.

Clean Up Australia Day The first Sunday in March saw many local residents and community groups work together to help remove rubbish from Carole Park, Camira and Springfield Lakes - a sincere thank you to all involved. Our community is now much cleaner due to the selfless acts of many.

A special thank you is also extended to Annette Taylor from McDonalds Springfield Lakes who co-ordinated the Springfield Lakes crews and ensured all involved received breakfast.

Let’s all work together to keep our community a litter free area in the future. Remember to do the right thing with our litter so as not to leave it to others to pick up.

Library At Springfield Central Council is still committed to providing a library in Springfield Central and is currently working on the best delivery mode. Council should announce its decision by the end of June this year.

ANZAC Day Our local ANZAC morning service will be at Robelle Domain, Springfield Central commencing at 5.15am. This will be the second ANZAC service at Robelle Domain where you can lay a wreath at the Springfield Central ADF Memorial.

Lest We Forget.

Myipswich.Com If you see a council issue in the community that requires addressing, you can call 3810 6666 or register on ‘myipswich. com’ and track the status of your service request.

Correct Rubbish In Correct Bin Thankfully, most people try to do the right thing when it comes to what to place in the recycling bin. Many people take the time and effort to recycle yet they place all their recyclable products including the plastic bags into the recycle bin. Even if the plastic bag is 100% full of recyclable waste, the whole bag is deemed contaminated and council is penalised by our contractor who receives the recyclable waste. Please empty recyclable waste contents from plastic bags into the recycle bin and place plastic bags into the normal waste bins.

Ipswich Council is passionate about caring for our environment.

Some fast facts about Ipswich Council: • has purchased 6752 Ha of conservation land • manages 358 parks and 203 reserves • has 104 voluntary conservation agreements with large land holders • gives out over 100 000 plants per year to residents Planning is all about achieving a healthy balance between development and the environment to protect the quality of life we all enjoy.

Remember: Sustainability is the ability to sustain, it’s our responsibility.

A message from the Mayor’s Desk WITH THE MAYOR - COUNCILLOR PAUL PISASALE Now is the time to nominate a local legend to carry the Queen’s Baton in the lead up to the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. The baton will pass through Ipswich on 29 March next year and baton bearers will represent our region and show everyone what Ipswich is all about. You can nominate an inspirational Ipswich resident at www.gc2018.com/qbr.

Latest statistics show Springfield is home to one of Ipswich’s busiest roads. Council’s annual traffic count recorded a 21 per cent increase on Sinnathamby Boulevard during 2016, with 23,600 vehicles using the road each and every day. The increase reflects the ongoing growth in the area and the increasing popularity of Robelle Domain and Orion Lagoon at Springfield Central.

In another boost for Springfield, the Queensland Government Valuer-General has increased land values across the suburb by 23.53 per cent. Values in Springfield Lakes increased by 19.41 per cent and nearby Camira rose by 24.98 per cent. I want to reassure residents that these results will not be reflected in the upcoming council budget. As always we are working hard to keep rates rises as low as possible.

Kids of all ages will love the new interactive exhibition at Ipswich Art Gallery, Towers of Tomorrow with LEGO Bricks. The family-friendly travelling exhibition from Sydney Living Museums has already visited Darwin, Townsville and Rockhampton on its way to Ipswich. It features skyscrapers built from LEGO bricks with breathtaking architectural detail and accuracy by Australia’s only certified LEGO professional Ryan McNaught. Towers of Tomorrow with LEGO Bricks is being offered in four sessions a day until Sunday, 9 July. Entry is $5 per person with children under three free. Bookings are essential at ipswichartgallery.qld.gov.au.

Twelve of the world’s most iconic tourist attractions are coming to Ipswich Art Gallery thanks to one a half tonnes of LEGO and a 2,000-hour build.

Towers of Tomorrow with LEGO Bricks features 1:200 scale models of Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands, the Petronas Twin Towers of Kuala Lumpur and the Tokyo Skytree.

Built by Australia’s only LEGO professional, Ryan McNaught, national offerings include Brisbane’s Infinity Tower and the Gold Coast’s Q1 alongside Sydney Tower.

“Creating two to three-metre high versions of these iconic buildings has been an incredible challenge, pushing the almost limitless possibilities of LEGO,” Mr McNaught said. “The results should amaze and inspire visitors of all ages.”

Arts spokesman Councillor Charlie Pisasale said the interactive exhibition would include more than 200,000 LEGO bricks in hands-on construction areas.

“We’re encouraging people to come along and look at Ryan’s creations and also put their LEGO skills to the test,” he said.

“LEGO is a global brand that transcends generations and this is a great way to build on the success of Construction Site and TapeScape, which broke gallery records by bringing in 44,708 people over an 11-week run that included the summer school holidays.”

Towers of Tomorrow with LEGO Bricks will be open from 25 March to 9 July with four 90-minute exploration and building sessions each day.

Entry is $5 per person and children under three are free. Bookings are essential. For bookings or more information visit ipswichartgallery.com.au.
