Go on, do something different – volunteer for QAS Do you have a keen interest in your local ambulance service? The Durack Local Ambulance Committee (LAC) is calling for volunteers to join up and make a difference.

LAC President, Mr Neville Goleby, said LACs play an important role supporting the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS), especially at the local station and community level.

“The LAC role focuses on community engagement and awareness activities to help build safe and resilient communities,” he said. “LAC’s have a strong commitment to providing a vital link between QAS and the community.”

LACs volunteer in partnership with QAS paramedics to deliver key safety messages to the community to help prepare and prevent injury or illness.

“LAC volunteers contribute to safer communities by delivering awareness programs. LACs also conduct community engagement and fundraise to enhance QAS services, such as funding further education or research opportunities for front-line staff.”

Mr Goleby said the awareness programs LACs deliver, improve the health and well-being of their fellow Queenslanders.

“A major community initiative led by LACs and delivered in partnership with QAS, is the CPR Awareness Program which has taught thousands of Queenslanders how to conduct life-saving CPR in an emergency,” he said.

“LACs also deliver other key safety messages, such as snake bite first aid, the dangers of button batteries, and LAC volunteers can assist QAS paramedics at station open days and community events.”

“Volunteering for your LAC is a great way to learn new skills, make friends and develop networks while also helping your community.”

Durack LAC is encouraging younger generations to step forward to continue the great work of LACs across Queensland. For more information about LACs visit: www.ambulance.qld.gov.au/volunteers.html or contact Durack LAC on 3372 6260 or 0400 836 976.

Personally Speaking with Susannah Friis Hands up if you’re an organised person. Our youngest daughter, at 12 years old, is highly organised and it’s not really through any intention on our part! It seems to just be in her nature to love order. For example, some of the things she really wanted to do over the recent school holidays were to sort out and organise the cutlery and utensils drawers, the tupperware drawer and her wardrobe. And I didn’t stop her!

She’s not just organised with things but with her homework, her assignments and her craft paraphernalia (NB organised does not always mean tidy!). Her school bag is packed and ready before she goes to sleep and she prefers her uniform to be ironed the night before - I’m not as obsessed, um, I mean, organised, as she is, so this rarely happens. And to combat the incessant nagging from her to do it, I simply taught her how to iron it herself!

Now, these are all good habits and while I agree it’s great to be organised, it becomes a problem when it overflows to the rest of her life. It can mean that she wants everyone else and everything else to be as ordered as she is. We are frequently trying to teach her the art of ‘going with the flow’ and suggesting strategies for dealing with the fact that friends and classmates (don’t even talk to me about ‘group work’!), and even some teachers, don’t have the same level of organisation as she does.

You see, it’s that old saying - too much of a good thing.

Her desire to be organised could easily become something on which she is dependent. And this in turn can become a disadvantage in life because, as we all know, all sorts of personalities make up our world and we need to do our level best to get along with all of them.

Once again, we find that balance is the key to so many things in life. So many of our desires in life are not a problem in and of themselves, it’s the excess of that desire that becomes an issue. It is right for us to eat but when the desire for food goes beyond what our body needs, we have a problem. It is right for us to want money; how else can we pay bills and responsibly care for ourselves and our family? But when we centre our whole lives around trying to get more and more money, we lose sight of why we need money in the first place. It’s good and important to have down time, to relax and stop and smell the roses but, do that too often and for too long and we can easily slip into laziness and apathy. Not being an organised person is fine yet when we allow our lives or homes to become so messy and disorganised that we are constantly forgetting things and running late all the time, we become stressed and anxious.

What areas of your life do you need to find some balance in? Maybe you need to have a big sort out and organise some cupboards or maybe you need to let the kids make a mess and not rush to have it orderly again. Whatever it might be, creating balance only ever brings us more peace and harmony. And who doesn’t want that?

FROM THE DESK OF

Annastacia Palaszczuk MPP STATE MEMBER FOR INAL A

N

ational Youth Week celebrations were a smashing success for our local community last month, with events at DJ Sherrington Park such as skateboarding competitions and a rock climbing wall organised by the wonderful Inala Youth Service.

There were also information stalls from a number of local community organisations which help educate the younger members of our community on education options, personal safety, and recreational activities in the local electorate. The week showcases young Queenslanders, and aims to get them further involved in the community. Special thanks must also be extended to PCYC Queensland for partnering with the State Government for these events.

For those of us who use the eastern section of the Ipswich Motorway between Darra and Rocklea, we know it is already at capacity and subject to awful traffic congestion. The State Government wants to fix this congestion, and have committed $200 million towards upgrading the motorway. However, in order for this $400 million project to become a reality, we need the Federal Government to come to the table and meet our commitment 50:50. I have been urging Prime Minister Turnbull to make the 50:50 commitment as soon as possible, so we can begin construction and fix congestion along the Ipswich Motorway.

With the annual local Queensland Day Awards approaching on June 11, it is time to get those nominations in!

It is a perfect opportunity to honour those unsung local heroes who contribute their time to volunteer for local community organisations. This year will be the 10th anniversary of the event, and the quality and quantity of the nominations is expected to grow even further than last year. Please contact my office if there is someone you think should be nominated.

It is also a pleasure to report that Queensland’s pro-jobs, pro-business economic plan has been recognised once again, with the NAB Monthly Business Survey showing Queensland leading the nation for, incredibly, the ninth consecutive month. Since last year’s State Budget, Queensland businesses have been the most optimistic of any mainland state in Australia.

If you ever require assistance with any issues, please feel free to contact my Electorate Office at our new number 3737 2100, or email inala@parliment.qld.gov.au. Alternatively, you can always pop by the office on Old Progress Road (next to Richlands Plaza) to speak with me or my staff, who are more than willing to help you.

Your Teeth Your Smile

by Dr Paul Holliday How healthy are soft drinks?

Recently, the British Government announced they would be taxing soft drink manufacturers and importers based on how much sugar is added to their products from 2018. The levy will apply to drinks with a total sugar content of 5g per 100ml with a higher rate for drinks with more than 8g per 100ml. It won’t apply to milk-based drinks or fruit juices.

A spokesman for the British Society for Paediatric Dentistry said they welcomed the levy on soft drinks, which are a major factor in the unacceptably high rate of dental decay in kids. They noted that in Britain almost 20% of 12-year-old kids consumed at least four sugary drinks per day.

The British Government aren’t the first to tax soft drinks, it was done by the Mexican Government back in 2013. The consumption of soft drinks has decreased substantially in Mexico since the tax was introduced. Mexico instituted the tax because of significant increases in cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes among the population. They hope to improve the county’s general health including oral health by this tax.

Okay, so everyone knows sugary drinks, like soft drink, are bad for your teeth and health. What about the sugar free varieties that are around?

The Oral Health Co-operative Research Centre (CRC) at the University of Melbourne studied this question recently.

They tested 23 different beverages including sugar free soft drinks and sports drinks and found that because of the additives and low pH levels, even the sugar free drinks can significantly damage enamel in teeth. According to the researchers, these sugar free drinks can soften enamel by 30 – 50%.

Also drinks with or without sugar, including flavoured mineral water, produced a measurable loss of the tooth surface without any difference between the sugar containing and sugar free types.

In their report, the Oral Health CRC recommended better product labelling and improved consumer information to help people consider their oral health when choosing food and drink products. They even found a sugar free confectionery product that was labelled tooth friendly but when tested caused dental erosion like sugar free drinks. The researchers said consumers should check the ingredients for acidic additives like citric acid and phosphoric acid.

After eating or drinking acidic products, everyone should rinse with water and wait an hour before brushing so they don’t remove the softened tooth structure.

So what would be best to drink? Plain water or milk is best. If you have any concerns about what you drink and how it may affect your teeth just call the friendly team at Lakedental on 3879 8999 to organise a consultation.

Have you considered scouting?

We are here X

Many people I speak to, of all ages, interests and walks of life, reminisce fondly that they too were once involved in Scouting and how they still have great memories of their time in Scouting. Many of our current youth members have joined because one (or sometimes both) of their parents was involved in Scouting when they were younger.

This photo was taken in 1998. One of the young girls in the photo, who was around seven at the time the photo was taken, recently contacted me on facebook to ask if I had been a Leader at Toohey Mountain in 1998.

When I answered yes, she sent the photo to me and asked what I was up to these days. I told her I was still in Scouting, currently running Richlands Scout Group.

This young lady (front row right) is now a Cub Scout Leader at Kurilpa Group, in Benarrawa District, the same District as our Richlands Scout Group. One of the other young ladies (left back row) is our own Joey Scout Leader at Richlands.

When we take on the task of mentoring young people through Scouting, we encourage them to apply the Principles and Aims of Scouting into all areas of their lives - home, school, social and sporting events - not just while at Scouting events. We teach them a broad range of skills to help them grow spiritually, socially, intellectually and physically. For example, to help develop self-esteem by having the opportunity to succeed at new things, to encourage physical activity and healthy lifestyle and learning by doing, to give back to the community eg by volunteering at the recent Inala Youth Week events. We teach them to show respect (eg by being involved in the recent ANZAC day March). It does not matter if they are not great athletes, or intellectual geniuses, there is always something in Scouting for every child. All we ask is that they do their best and above all else have fun!

For some, Scouting ends up being a fond childhood memory. For others, they develop life long skills that leads them to succeed in their chosen fi eld (eg Dick Smith). For some of us, Scouting is a way of life, an opportunity to give back to our community and a chance to make a difference in the life of even one child. For that one child - it is worth it. Do you have what it takes to be a Leader and make a difference in a child’s life?

Consider Scouting!

KARANA DOWNS GOLF CLUB

Last year Scripture Union celebrated 25 years of school chaplaincy in Queensland. Over the last 25 years, hundreds of thousands of students have received support from a school chaplain, effectively placed in the community to support children and young people. Currently there are over 600 school chaplains in more than 800 state primary and high schools across Queensland, providing support for approximately 400,000 students.

School chaplains have been a listening ear and a caring presence in inner west state and state high schools for a number of years. As part of the school student support team, the scope of their work includes providing school breakfast and lunch programs, resilience and mentoring programs, practical help for school families in need, helping students build positive friendships with each other, helping students in the midst of grief and loss, and simply being available for students who need someone to talk to. School chaplains also provide support for staff and parents in school communities.

Many school chaplains are partially funded through the National School Chaplaincy Program, however, the remainder of their funding comes from the generosity of the local community.

To help fund the important work of school chaplaincy locally, a school chaplaincy fundraising dinner will be held at Lions Richlands. All proceeds will go toward school chaplaincy at Pallara, Grand Avenue, Carole Park, Durack, Inala, Serviceton South and Richlands East State Schools.

As part of the evening there will be entertainment from local school choirs, a silent auction, and SU QLD CEO, Peter James, will be the guest speaker.

The dinner is scheduled for Wednesday, May 18th from 6.00pm – 9.00pm at Lions Richlands, 133 Pine Road, Richlands. The cost is free, however, this is a fundraiser so come ready to give!

For further ticketing information, please contact Russell Reynoldson on 0429 472 567, Troy Wilson on troyw@suqld. org.au, or the school chaplain from the above mentioned schools via the school office.

Algester Update I want to start this month’s article by celebrating and recognising the success of some of our talented young minds.

Students from St John’s Anglican College have been selected to join the Conrad Spirit of Innovation Challenge at Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.

Our future thinkers will face off against other teams from all around the world in pitching their ideas to some of the greatest minds in the world in innovation and technology at NASA. As part of the selection process, the students developed amazing ideas that would support global sustainability and benefit humanity such as medical devices, an app for insomniacs and a space suit to enhance safety. I know that these students have done our community proud with their participation in the program.

It was an honour to join with the community in Forest Lake to commemorate ANZAC Day. This year is the 50th anniversary of the battle of Long Tan which was one of the most devastating battles in the Vietnam War and a decisive victory for the Australian Task Force. Our thoughts are with the veterans who fought and died for our country and with the families and soldiers who are currently deployed.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the successful local candidates on their election. I would particularly like to welcome new councillor Charles Strunk for the Forest Lake Ward and congratulate Cr Angela Owen-Taylor from the Calamvale Ward on her re-election to the Brisbane City Council. I look forward to working closely with our local councillors in supporting our great community.

A record number of people attended the service at the Forest Lake Amphitheatre on the 100th commemoration of ANZAC Day. RSL President, Stuart Bradley said, “I wish to thank the various bodies that helped us make the day memorable. “The St John’s Anglican College Wind Symphony and Chorale gave attendees a stirring rendition of Waltzing Matilda. The Archerfield Air Cadets provided an excellent Catafalque Party. The Psalm was read by Shilohm Filipi from Forest Lake High School. The March Past was reviewed

by Lt.Col. David Schembri, Officer Commanding 6th Combat Support Battalion. Former Councillor for Richlands, Milton Dick, gave the Address. The prayer of Remembrance was given by Pastor Mark Mackay. F.Sgt Bruce Pocklington (RAAF) read the poem ‘Not a Hero’ by Clyde Hamilton. “The winner of the student essay competition on ‘What Anzac Day Means to Me’ was announced. Thank you to the Heritage Bank Community Fund and to Steve Scott of AV Domain and Andre Samra from the Forest Lake Coffee Club for co-sponsoring the prizes. George Churchward (Immediate Past President of Forest Lake RSL) recited the Ode. “Finally to the Royal Australian Air Force who provided an exciting low level, Fly Past.

Blood testing your pet is very similar, if not the same, to when you visit your doctor or pathologist. With the use of both in-house laboratories and external laboratories, vets are able to provide very accurate and timely information about the health of their patients. This is particularly important because, unlike a human patient, our patients are not able to tell us where they have aches and pains and some pets instinctively hide illness.

Blood tests are therefore very important in assisting veterinarians in diagnosing problems and illnesses that cannot be picked up by a physical examination. They are used to identify diseases common to a specific breed.

They are useful for monitoring the effects of certain drug therapies. They are used prior to anaesthetics to identify problems that could arise and to adjust medications used for a procedure. They look at the function of the body’s organs, the immune system and the activity of a disease process. Some tests can be used to stimulate or suppress an organ to look into its function more specifically. Some newer tests have the ability to look at your pet’s genetics for specific disease or infections.

Blood tests help your vet identify problems that can often be fixed or managed before they do more harm to your pet. This is very relevant as your pet ages.

Depending on age and what is wrong with your pet, the frequency of blood tests can vary. It is recommended that blood tests be performed routinely prior to anaesthetics, especially if a problem is suspected. As pets do age much faster than humans (nearly seven years for every one of ours), a yearly or twice yearly screen for any new developing conditions is highly recommended.

Blood tests are a simple procedure that can be carried out quickly, often during a consultation. Your veterinarian will most often clip a small amount of hair from your pets leg or neck and alcoholic swabs are used to clean the area. A small amount of blood is collected from one of these areas, placed into special tubes and processed either in the clinic or sent to a laboratory. A bandaid may be placed on the leg to stop bruising. Most pets do not seem to feel these needle sticks like we do and before they know it, it’s all over.

Forest Lake Rotary Club update

by Chris Steinback, Greater Springfield Rotary Club Members of three local Rotary Clubs Goodna, Forest Lake and Greater Springfield recently joined together at a dinner meeting at the Springfield Tavern to promote the vision of the Australian Rotary Health organisation.

This vision is to be a catalyst for health related projects that improve the quality of life for people who are the least able to assist themselves.

Bob Aitkin, Executive Director of Rotary Corporate Partnerships described the ARH as being the largest health research provider of funding in Australia is Rotary. Last year, Rotary clubs in Australia donated over $3.25M to health research. There are 66 organisations supporting research in mental health and the only organisation that actually provides mental health research funding is Rotary.

Australian Rotary Health provides funding into four focus areas, and promotes findings to the community: • Mental Health Research • General Health Research From left to right: • Indigenous Health Research Brad Chipper – President Rotary Club of Forest Lake, • Rural Medical and Nursing Scholarships Colin Crawfoot – Chairman Australian Rotary Health, You are invited to attend your local Rotary Club Lee Denton - President Rotary Club of Goodna, meeting, or contact us to talk first. Joining with your Bob Aitkin - Executive Director, Rotary Corporate Partnerships local Rotary Club can help you build new friendships and Lee Watson - President Rotary Club of Greater Springfield. and business networks. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with like minded local people to improve the lives of others both within your community and around the world.

developing networks. Many of our Old Collegians, such as Sarah Timmerman, Young Entrepreneur of the Year for Retail in 2014, are providing fine role models in this regard.

What a great motivator it was for St John’s Senior Business students to hear from Ms Vanessa Garrard, CEO and Founder of E3 Style Pty Ltd at the Annual St John’s Business Breakfast where the influence of our powerful network of business partnerships impacts the quality of their learning experiences as they prepare for their future. We were pleased to have Minister for Science and Innovation and Minister for Small Business, Ms Leeanne Enoch MP, who holds portfolios aligned with this topic, join us on this occasion.

This event in our calendar originated as a means of ensuring that our Senior Business Students had the opportunity to learn about networks and how important they are in the world of business.

However, much more was provided as Ms Garrard took them through the establishment of her IT businesses.

The following week saw the students attending the international Fast Forward Your Business Conference, a two-day workshop for entrepreneurs held in Brisbane. Students established a crowd funding page to help them raise the required funds to attend the conference with a complementary Social Impact Project developed as well. Valuable lessons on growing business systems, value propositions and customer relationships, resilience and tenacity were provided. Some St John’s students have already taken the challenge, establishing small businesses and

St John’s prepares students for a very different world where students will need to be very good communicators, collaborators, critical and creative thinkers who have a sound values base and are of good character. At the Council level our Innovation Reference Group investigates advances in the Entrepreneurship and Digital Economy, in Science and Technology; and, at the school level our recently launched STEM Institute will complement our Future Thinkers program by providing opportunities for St John’s students to deepen their knowledge of how these skills can be used in Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics. We recognise that the world of Business is integral to our student’s development and these experiences are preparing them to make that first step.

Please take the opportunity to visit St John’s at our next Open Day, Saturday, 7 May from 9am to 12 noon.

It is an honour and a privilege to be elected as the first Councillor for the new Forest Lake Ward and I want to thank the community for putting their trust in me to represent them for the next four years. As your Councillor, I want to re-confirm my principal commitment that I will consult, inform and meet with my constituents.

Finance Corner

WITH DAVE JOHNSON B. COM C.A.

Dave is a Chartered Accountant with a keen interest in personal finance issues

Sometimes it might seem appealing to set up financial transactions in what appears to be a systematic and structured way but in doing so we can sometimes compromise the most effective tax outcome.

For example, recently someone mentioned that they had their residential property on which there was a mortgage, as well as an investment property on a principal and interest loan basis, which in itself is not ideal whilst they still have non-deductible interest debt. From their salary they allocated money each month to pay the private mortgage (Loan 1) and all of the rental payments, which were in excess of the minimum payments on the investment loan (Loan 2), were credited to the investment loan. Sounds like a plan, but is it necessarily the most tax effective? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assume the facts as presented in the table and look at the impacts over one, five and 10 years.

4 5 What might the situation be # 733'333 733'333 8?

8? if only the minimum payment is - ! .

! % - 4.

5'47: 5'47: made on Loan 2 and the excess % - 5.

5'733 rental payments are allocated !

7?

6<7'3<< 6<3'<99 to Loan 1? For example, in year , 4 69:'648 66:'55< one the additional $253 from , 8 , 43 658'69; 54;'849 the rental is applied against ! ! " $ ! , 4

:':53 Loan 1 and only $2,147 is paid ! ! " $ ! , 8

69'689 ! ! " $ ! , 43

97'3:7 off Loan 2.

Intuitively, with the same 4) $ " ! ! $ 6<?' ! "%) 5) % ! % ( % 7? % ) total repayments each month and the same interest rate, one would expect the same net balance on the loans. This is in fact the case but the loan balances have now switched around to $218,516 and $325,368 respectively.

However, over that same period the cumulative tax benefits have increased to $71,387.

An increased financial benefit of $7,313 ($71,387 less $64,074) might not sound much, but if all you had to do was change the allocation of the payments would you knock it back?

YOUR INVITATION

Principal - Australink Alliance Forest Lake

Binding Financial Agreements are entered into where parties are able to resolve issues privately, without a court order. It can be entered into at any point before, during or after a marriage or de factor relationship. It is a way in which parties can document their agreement as to the division of property, spousal maintenance and certain other issues.

There are different types of Binding Financial Agreement’s depending on the nature and the stage of the relationship.

It is important to enter into the correct type of BFA that applies, otherwise it may be found to be invalid and so able to be set aside.

Types of Binding Financial Agreements include: • Pre-nuptial Agreements; • Post-nuptial Agreements; and • Separation Agreements For financial agreements to be legally binding: • Both parties must have signed the agreement; • Both parties must have received independent legal advice before signing; • The agreement must contain a clause stating that each parties have obtained such advice; • A signed certificate from the legal practitioner attesting to this advice must be attached to the agreement.

These steps essentially prevent either party from saying they were not aware of the consequences of the agreement when they entered into it.

Any agreement can be set aside if it induced the one party into the agreement involving fraud, impracticality, unenforceability, changes in circumstances, unconscionable conduct and superannuation concerns or failure to disclose all assets.

Pre-Nuptial Agreements Pre-nuptial agreements are entered into by parties ‘in contemplation of marriage’. It is believed that the parties should have a particular wedding date; a plan to marry at some future date is insufficient. It is usually appropriate to include in pre-nuptial agreements a clause that the agreement is ineffective if the parties have not married by a particular date.

Post-Nuptial Agreements A post-nuptial agreement, is the post-wedding day equivalent of a pre-nuptial agreement. In the case of postnuptial BFA’s, couples enter into agreement that sets out what will happen following marital breakdown, separation or the death of a spouse. A postnuptial BFA can also offer clarity and direction to the remaining spouse and the family if the deceased spouse has failed to prepare a will.

Financial Agreements at Separation Upon separation, such an agreement can then deal with the distributional of the matrimonial assets in an amicable and efficient manner without the necessity of referring the matter to Court. Any property which is transferred under a separation agreement is not subject to stamp duty.

This agreement contains a separation declaration that the parties have separated, are living separately and apart at the time of the declaration and that in the opinion of the spouse party/spouse parties making the declaration, there is no reasonable likelihood of cohabitation being resumed.

The penultimate outing organised by Activity Officers Lyn and Val was a trip to see ‘Parrots in Paradise’ near Beerwah. It was interesting to watch the birds doing various tricks such as being ballerinas, to doing jobs of firemen and one particular parrot being able to recognise Australian coins to put in a bottle. The final outing these two talented women added to their repertoire was to the Queensland Museum to see the exhibition of ‘Medieval Power: Symbols & Splendour’. Some Probians lost their tickets so Lyn and Val used their diplomatic negotiating skills to get replacements. Thank you Lyn and Val for an educational outing and for all the hard work you did organising trips. Enjoy your rest as a new man, Peter, takes over the job.

The 5 Minute speaker was Brian who delivered ‘Seventy Five Years of my Life in Verse’. Unfortunately six pages of verse does not allow the space we occupy in this publication but here are a few extracts.

‘Then the day closes and the night bombers arrive And it’s down to the shelter with a hope to survive.’

‘A scholarship gained and higher education now sure But I shun the system and turn my back on learning, Earn a living and have money is what I am yearning.

Our life in Great Britain seems to be at an end As opportunities abroad expand and extend.’

‘Our chosen life in Australia is a life well spent What more could we wish for this life of content.’

Thanks to a very talented Brian.

Our monthly speaker pulled the plug and Vice President David saved the day. Having been a 5 Minute Speaker before, he concentrated on the time he spent on the Australian Antarctic Base Casey. He explained the establishment of the bases and the various countries represented. Communication was in the form of either Morse code or Radio teletype. They all participated in celebrating special cultural days of the various nations who have bases in the Antarctic e.g. Australia Day, Bastille Day, Christmas etc.

Before embarking on the expedition, staff had to undergo basic medical training so they are all equipped to assist the doctor in any emergency. Part of this training was spending two weeks in an operating theatre. In summer when visitors arrived, they all had to chip in and do some work while there. Winter was twenty four hours of darkness. All worked a six day week and had to help out the cook. The staff even put on pantomimes as a form of entertainment. Don passed the vote of thanks.

The Probus Club of Forest Lake Inc meets the second Tuesday of the month at 10am at the Forest Lake Community Hall, College Avenue, Forest Lake. All retirees and semi-retirees do pay us a visit. Further details please contact Membership Officer Shirley on 3879 9421 or President John on 3372 1270.

Family Focus

with Mark Mackay

Two of my daughters have entered the ‘tweenie’ stage; not quite teenagers but no longer little kids either. One of the things that has struck me as I have looked at the advertising and media targeted at this age group (and, indeed, younger ages as well) is the amount of sexualisation of young girls. As my girls are getting older, this issue is being brought into stark relief for me and I am becoming more and more concerned about the consequences of this trend for young girls in our community, in my Church and (at a really personal level) for my own young daughters.

This was brought home to me when my then 5-year-old daughter came home from school one day upset. When I asked her why she was upset, she said, “Because my bum is bad – it’s too big.” I couldn’t believe my ears! How does a 5-year-old pick up such ridiculous messages?

Of course, the consequences go much further than low self-esteem. As many people are discovering in their own families, when young people (not just girls) become obsessed with body image, this can lead to health problems, mental illness, disastrous relationships, and worse. Now is a critical time for parents and families to instil healthy body image because the increase in social media, the ridiculously poor restrictions on advertising and other factors that are beyond our control, will not do the job for us.

As a parent, when I look at my girls, I want them to judge their value not by their appearance but by their intrinsic worth. To me, this only comes from an absolute conviction in human dignity. Our value ultimately comes from the value God has put on humanity. As the famous Psalm says, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” (Psalm 139:14) This is true of every human being. Once we deny the absolute value of human dignity, we are on a slippery slope because we will seek our value in other things, like image, popularity, success or money.

While not everyone who reads this column will share my faith position, I think we will all agree that we must teach our kids that their self-image must not be left to the whim of popular culture. We must give them something more permanent, more absolute.

It starts with a conversation, with observing and discussing how our kids are presenting themselves and how we present ourselves. It starts with affirming their beauty beyond the stereotype. It also means having the difficult conversation when we are confronted by negative advertising or images in the media. It means teaching our kids that they are worth more than the tawdry consumerism and conformity that popular culture demands.

Instilling healthy self-esteem in a young person can set them up for a fulfilling life and one that makes a positive difference in our world. It starts with you making that first step. God bless you as you do!

Forest Lake Branch update by Julie Baldwin National Volunteer Week runs from 9-15 May with a wide range of volunteer recognition events, celebrations, awards ceremonies, thank you morning teas, parades, professional development sessions, forums, and more, to be held nationwide.

Volunteering contribution in Australia is estimated at $16.3 billion per annum. (Information sourced from National Seniors website).

We salute all volunteers within our own community for their dedication and value their amazing contributions, thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen in the 50 something age group come and join us. We would love to meet you. There are many, many benefits of membership with National Seniors and the yearly membership fee is very affordable. National Seniors website is also a great source for more helpful information. Meeting date is Wednesday 11 May at Lions Soccer Club, 133 Pine Road, Richlands, 9.30am sign in for a 10am start. Meeting entry includes morning tea. Please join us if you can for lunch at Lions after the meeting.

To our members who are unwell, we extend our very best wishes for a return to good health.

The speaker for the April Branch meeting was Rob Wintour from Argentis. Rob’s presentation was very informative. He talked about the changes to pensions taking place from 1 January 2017. This topic was of great interest to many of our members.

President Dan also informed all members of the special Financial Hotline available to all National Seniors members concerned about their financial affairs. This is a free service available to National Seniors members only. We also enjoyed a visit from Leeanne Enoch, Member for Algester, who is a great supporter of our group.

On Thursday 19 May we head off on a trip to Caboolture Historical Village where we will enjoy morning tea, a tour of the village, lunch at Beachmere and then take a scenic drive back to Forest Lake. Big trip this month for 27 members heading out to Lightning Ridge with a stopover at St George. We will have an opportunity to meet some of our friends out there as we continue to support drought relief. These trips are so much fun and we have another couple planned for later in the year.

In March our group headed off to Kingston which was a terrific day out. First stop the old butter factory Kingston which houses a museum and an amazing display for sale of beautiful crafted items. Some of us made a few purchases after enjoying a lovely devonshire tea. Next we headed to Mayes Cottage and what a greeting we received. It was so interesting and thank goodness it is well cared for by the Logan City Council. Lunch at the Gem Hotel, quite a nice break then back on board the bus for our tour of Old Beenleigh Town. So much to see we feel we could go back there again. Our driver Sam had such a happy personality. We enjoyed his banter on the bus.

Forest Lake Social Golf Club update by Patrick Ayling

There was a great turnout of 31 players for the Windaroo Lakes game, including a returning member, Greg Robson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Greg assures us this will be his last move. Despite getting away to an early tee off, the round was a little slow with the last group getting back to the 19th later than expected due to a non-club group jumping in front at the 10th! That aside, the course played â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Masters Likeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with very difficult pin placements on sloping greens, making putting particularly difficult, as witnessed by a four putt by Dan on one of the holes! Kirrily was in great form, yet again taking out the C Grade winners prize, so good golfing Kirrily.

As we approach Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, I suppose all children, regardless of their age, are planning where to take Mum, Nana or Grandma to lunch for her special day of the year.

Mums deserve the best treatment. Even breakfast in bed is enjoyable in some cases but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not great when orange juice is spilt on the sheets thereby giving Mum some work on this special day. I know the younger children love to show the cards they have made at school which become a treasured keepsake for Mum. The earliest history of Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day dates back to the ancient annual spring festival when the Greeks dedicated the day to the maternal goddesses Rhea. The Greeks used the occasion to honour Rhea, wife of Cronus and the mother of many deities of Greek mythology.

One of the popular flowers to give Mum is the chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum grandiflorum). Most chrysanthemums are upright plants with lobed leaves that can be aromatic. The many showy flower heads, carried at the tips of strong stems, begin to bloom as the days shorten.

Maybe this flower is sought after on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day as the spelling ends with â&#x20AC;&#x153;mumâ&#x20AC;?. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget that a living plant will last a lot longer than a pretty bunch of flowers.

Last month A Garden A-Fair was held in the auditorium of Mt Coot-tha Botanic Garden and many of our members exhibited in this inter-club competition. At time of printing the results are not available however we had entries in the flowers, foliage, vegetables and floral art sections. Results will be listed in next monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report.

Also last month we had an enjoyable afternoon tea at Lindaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home which proved a great opportunity to chat with members. This month Graham and Andrea Donnelley will open their garden later in the month.

Saturday 11 June is the date for our next bus trip when we will be travelling to Rocky Point Mulching at Jacobs Well, lunch at the local hotel then onto River Walk Garden. Cost will be $45 for members and $55 for guests. Lunch is included in the fare. Contact Jill (phone 3372 6800) or Heather (phone 3879 2129) for a flyer or further information.

This month our guest speaker will be Geoff Robinson discussing Gerberas and on 7 June, Jonathan from Rocky Point Mulching will be our guest. Make sure you mark 6 September in your diary as Claire Bickle will be attending our meeting.

Why not come along to a meeting, share morning tea, collect some of the free plants available and have a chat with other local friendly gardeners? I hope to see you there.

We are not fanatical gardeners, just friendly enthusiasts. Join us!!

Next meeting Tuesday, 7 June at 9.30 for a 10am start.

The Dutch Club, 123 Pine Rd, Richlands.
