Forest Lake Branch update by Julie Baldwin Welcome everyone to the November edition. Hope you are all finding the warmer weather relaxing and enjoying spending more time in the outdoors.

We have just returned from a fabulous trip to Hervey Bay for Whale Watching, all organised through Maria at National Seniors Travel. It was so enjoyable and to see so many whales up close, especially the mothers and babies, was an unforgettable experience. We had a great trip on the Tilt Train, very comfortable accommodation at Hervey Bay and the Freedom 111 Crew who took us on our whale watching journey were so obliging and attentive. What more could you ask for?

The Chinatown Tour on 18 September was a lot of fun and very informative. Our expert guide, Mr Chiu-Hin Chan, took us on a fascinating journey through Oriental art, food, medicine and fashion. He explained the historical events which shaped the culture of the Far East. This was very helpful for the group in understanding the Chinese way of life. We learned a great deal of the history of Chinese people settlement in Queensland and now know the story of the Big Fish situated in the Chinatown Mall. We visited an Asian grocery store packed with loads of interesting things, a Chinese herbalist, and a Chinese fashion store. We were also shown the art of tea making. Some of our group tried their hand at spring roll making and we topped the tour off with a very tasteful and thoroughly enjoyable traditional Chinese lunch.

Our October Branch meeting was all about dress ups and fun and entertainment.

The meeting date for November is Wednesday 11th, Remembrance Day at the Lions Soccer Club, 133 Pine Road, Richlands.

9.30am sign in for a 10am start. Meeting entry includes morning tea. The meeting will include a talk by a service person still serving today, so please join us.

Also coming up on our busy calendar at the end of November is a planned three day bus trip exploring Warwick and surrounding beautiful places of interest. All the travellers are really looking forward to this.

Next month is our final meeting for 2015. We are all looking forward to our Special Christmas Lunch in a lovely venue and of course some great entertainment. We will return to our regular meetings in February 2016 where our calendar will have a great mix of trips, activities and lots of fun in store.

For further information about our branch please contact either Julie on 3278 7274 or Val on 3372 4405.

Personally Speaking with Susannah Friis In our house, we have two small, fluffy, sometimes noisy and annoying but completely lovable dogs. And one Siamese fighting fish.

Now, the dogs receive lots of cuddles, kisses, play time, walks, tidbits from the kitchen and are generally loved on pretty much 24/7. The fish on the other hand has it’s water changed and gets fed. If I’m the one feeding it, I stay and have a little chat, you know, just general stuff. It’s a pretty one-sided conversation though, so I tend to get bored and move on fairly quickly.

I’m tempted to feel sorry for little Jimmy Choo, as he was named by his 12 year old owner. It just doesn’t feel like he gets the same level of attention and love that the other pets in the house do.

Yet, as we all know, taking him out and giving him a cuddle would be the least loving thing we could do for him, as would be trying to take him for a walk or play catch. The best way to love him is to keep doing what we’re currently doing, regardless of whether it feels like enough to us.

The idea of taking a fish for a walk or picking it up to cuddle it seems ludicrous, doesn’t it? Yet how often do we try to love like that in our relationships with people.

It’s so easy to love people as we want to be loved. And sometimes, it’s not received as love, simply because that person’s needs are different from ours.

In the same way, raising our children as individuals, rather than as a group of children, produces far more well balanced humans than when we parent with no regard for uniqueness and differences of personality and character.

In nearly every area of our lives, no matter the relationship, we need to tailor how we love, to who we are loving. Sure, in a marriage, over time, we come to accept certain behaviours from our spouse that we know are them showing us love, even if that’s not our preference for receiving it. But generally speaking, the onus is on the lov-er to love in such a way that it is received.

I think love needs to be a fluid and malleable thing.

A stubborn person might say ‘Well, that’s just the way I am - I’m not good at saying “I love you� - she knows that.’ Or, ‘I know he loves to hold hands in public but I don’t. He should just accept it.’ When we love someone, we need to be prepared to change how we love so that they feel loved. And I’m not saying we should be with someone who is constantly wanting us to change who we are; rather that if both parties are seeking to show the other love, both parties will feel loved!

Just like Jimmy Choo and our two fluffy dogs, people have different needs, and different ways of receiving the love we want to give. And, as usual, the best way to find out how your partner or children receive love is to listen.

Listen when they are spelling it out for you in words, and listen by watching and seeing what makes them light up.

(If you’re interested in finding out more about how your partner receives love, you might want to check out The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman.)

Spring Clean for Red Cross The recent burst of warm spring weather has dramatically reduced summer clothing stocks in Red Cross shops.

“We are desperate for summer stock,” said Red Cross Shops Marketing Manager, Kate Dear.

“The biggest need right now is for ladies summer clothing, particularly dresses but anything light and in good condition will be greatly appreciated.

“Those unwanted or preloved goods filling your cupboards might be put to better use at a Red Cross shop.”

Sort your clothing into three piles 1. Keep 2. Alter/Repair 3. Donate “Don’t be shy, it’s simple to donate,” said Kate, “Just walk in and hand your items across the counter, or place them in the ‘Donate Now’ box at the entrance to each store.”

Every item purchased at a Red Cross Shop also helps support the everyday work of Red Cross.

Last year Red Cross assisted more than 56,000 people affected by disasters and served over 800,000 meals to school children who might otherwise have gone to school hungry.

Red Cross programs such as Telecross, Telechat and the Community Visitors Scheme also rely heavily on the proceeds of Red Cross shops.

If you regularly donate clothing, or shop at a Red Cross Shop you can now get 25% off future purchases with a Red Cross Shop Loyalty Card. Just ask for a card at your local Red Cross Shop when you shop or donate, and start saving today.

The nearest store for residents is 669 Sherwood Road, Sherwood. The store is open Monday to Friday 9am - 4pm and Saturday 8.30am - 1pm and can be contacted by phoning 3278 0344.

Your Teeth Your Smile

by Dr Paul Holliday Are my teeth really that important?

Teeth are interesting things. Some people have problem teeth and some people never have any problems. Sometimes, people ask me “Do I really need my teeth?” The short answer is no. You can live without teeth and there are people all over the world who don’t have any teeth or have false teeth. The long answer is – it’s much better with your own teeth.

Teeth have several important functions. They help us to eat and drink. Without teeth, eating and drinking or even swallowing is much more difficult. Our general body health is affected by what happens in our mouths. If there is bacteria in or on our teeth, then most people don’t realize that this same bacteria is swallowed when we eat and drink. When we breathe it can be taken down into the lungs. If there is any bleeding in our mouths, the bacteria can then travel throughout the bloodstream to any part of our body where blood vessels go, including our heart. The same goes for any bacteria in or around our gums and tongue.

Teeth also help us to communicate. Speaking and singing are much more difficult when teeth are missing. Singing is a simple pleasure that we take for granted but if we lose some teeth, especially front teeth this really is never the same. Even speaking with no teeth or with false teeth can be frustrating for those talking and those listening sometimes. Our teeth and tongue help us make lots of different sounds and combinations that make up all the languages that are spoken throughout the world.

Teeth have another very important function that is often forgotten.

Self-esteem. From a young age, we develop our own identity. This is closely related to our teeth and smile. A smile is something that helps us to attract partners, greet friends or strangers, and defuse tense or stressful situations. When we are not happy with our smile, this has an effect on us whether we admit it or not. It is very obvious when talking to someone if they are not happy with their teeth because they unconsciously do things to minimize the problem, like tilting their head slightly, using their hand to cover their mouth.

There are many reasons why teeth are important and even though it certainly is possible to live without them it is much better to live with them. Our digestion is greatly improved by our teeth breaking down the food and allowing the enzymes in our mouths to start the process of digestion. Regular maintenance is always required to help keep your teeth in tip top condition and this means brushing twice a day, cleaning in between your teeth and gums with dental floss or interdental brushes and visiting your dentist for a clean and check-up regularly. How often is a visit to the dentist required? Well, that depends on your personal situation. Everyone is different and some people need to visit more often and some people less often. The absolute longest you should go without visiting the dentist should be 12 months. This is too long a time frame for most people, six months is the average. If you are leaving it too long between visits then you are heading down a slippery slope. Problems are unfortunately building up even though everything seems fine.

If you have any concerns about keeping your teeth for life then give the friendly team at Lakedental a call on 3879 8999 for a consultation.

Mrs Bev Lancaster president of Kiwanis Club of Brisbane, joins Susan A. “Sue” Petrisin as a leader in one of the world’s most prestigious service organizations. Petrisin is the first female to lead an international service organization.

As president of Kiwanis International, she will represent more than 630,000 members who make a difference in the lives of children in their communities and around the world.

Bev Lancaster serves as the local leader of the Kiwanis Club of Brisbane. Bev a retired nurse living in Middle Park, has been a member of Kiwanis since 2005 serving as treasurer for several years and was inducted as President on Tuesday 6th October.

The Kiwanis Club of Brisbane improves the lives of children in this community by supporting many local charities. “For the last 10 years we have tried to bring Kiwanis Club of Brisbane into the 21st Century and I honestly believe we have achieved our goal.

Finance Corner

WITH DAVE JOHNSON B. COM C.A.

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

It is not uncommon these days for people to have two jobs. There will be the principal job which generates the major portion of earnings and there may be a weekend or casual type job that supplements the principal income and helps pay some additional bills. No problem with that as long as one still maintains the appropriate work-life balance and stress and tiredness levels are not significantly impacted.

Against the principal job one claims the tax free threshold for the purposes of having regular PAYG tax withheld. The second job has a larger rate of tax taken out because one cannot claim the tax free threshold for two jobs.

Having two jobs of course results in additional discretional income. However, it is important to be aware that there can be a sting in the tail when it comes to the annual tax return. Notwithstanding the higher average rate withheld from the second job, invariably it is never quite enough to compensate for the fact that at year end both incomes are added together and the application of marginal rates of tax normally results in a year end liability.

Let’s look at a simple example. Joseph is paid fortnightly and earns $70,000 from his main job and $20,000 in a secondary position. The fortnightly tax withheld from the gross income of $2,692 is $606 for the first job and $180 tax on $769 income for the second job. Thus total earnings are $90,000 for the year and the two PAYG Summaries reflect total tax paid of $20,436.

All good, and Joseph looks forward to his annual refund. Despair takes over when his assessment notice for tax payable on $90,000 comes back with a bill of $2,611. How can that be he wonders?

If Joseph’s income was only $70,000 his refund would have been a nominal $59. The additional $20,000 has meant that Joseph’s income goes into the next tax threshold of $80,000. Accordingly, a rate of 34.5% applies for the first $10,000 and 39% for the next $10,000. This means extra tax of $7,350 but only $4,680 was withheld, a shortfall of $2,670. Offsetting the $59 refund that would normally have applied results in the additional tax of $2,611.

From a pure financial viewpoint Joseph is of course still better off. However, he should be aware of an impending potential year-end tax liability and prepare accordingly.

Hello Readers As we prepare to farewell our Year 12 students and thank them for their leadership of our College community this year, we are confident that they will go onto further study or into the workplace with the St John’s spirit in their hearts and the values that this community has modelled and taught them during their schooling here.

Not a day goes by without some mention of the impact of technological revolution on our lives. Jobs in the traditional pathways we know will be transformed and a world of different opportunities will emerge.

The supportive learning community in which it is safe to concentrate on doing well academically, and the challenges within each stage of the St John’s program has taught our graduates to be resilient, self-aware and self-confident. More importantly they have been given many opportunities to learn to think critically and creatively all of which will stand them in good stead in the new and emerging technological world.

Many of our graduates will become entrepreneurs, starting up businesses and collaborating in multidisciplinary teams to solve problems and create new solutions to the world’s challenges. The challenges within our extra-curricular program of camps, motivational speakers, leadership roles, sporting fixtures and the performance arts all form the building blocks for necessary resilience and self-reliance.

ENROLLING NOW

The threads of this personal competence can be seen where our Year 1’s are learning to play Chess in their Maths classes through to our Year 9 Future Thinkers who are competing in the Australian Finals of the International Future Problem Solving Competition in Brisbane later this month. That’s part of the St John’s difference. We create extraordinary young people!

Secure your child’s place from Kindy or Prep in our EYE on Childhood program led by our Early Years experts, or, prepare for the excitement and challenge in secondary schooling from Year 5 or Year 7 to ensure your child is prepared for a rapidly changing world.

The holiday period is fast approaching and I am looking forward to feeling the heightened community spirit this time of year brings.

The fantastic Run4Kids were out in the electorate and I was delighted to once again provide support for such a worthy cause. The Run4Kids crew do great work organising healthy activities in our community, while raising money for charity in the process.

The Magic Mile event in Heathwood Park was another great example of their work and gave a chance for local runners to get together, be active and support the Lady Cilento Hospital.

I was happy to support the event financially and with a BBQ.

I spent time at the Forest Lake McDonalds to support McHappy Day to help raise funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). This year McHappy Day is aiming to raise $3.4 million for RMHC which equates to providing a bed for around 25,000 nights for Australian families at one of the 16 Ronald McDonald Houses across Australia. I enjoyed learning some new skills, chatting to locals and supporting a worthwhile cause.

I want to update the community about the intersection at Ritchie Road and Wadeville Street. On the 9th of October signage went up that indicated the intersection would be closed.

I can confirm that this is no longer the case.

The proposed road works which have been approved by the Council are part of the development of the new school at Pallara. The State Government has engaged a contractor to design and construct these external works and Council remains responsible for their approval.

I met with Councillor Angela Owen-Taylor, Plenary, Watpac and the Department of Education and Training to ensure the road upgrade is delivered with minimal disruption to local motorists.

This new school is an exciting development for our community and I want to make sure that the community is well informed and understand the status of the required works. I will continue to work closely with all parties to obtain the best outcome for the community and Pallara State School and I sincerely appreciate the patience and support of the community during this construction phase.

I met with local church leaders, school chaplains and mental health workers to discuss the issue of domestic violence. Together we have resolved to work with our community to take a stand against domestic violence and start a conversation about how we can support one another.

Over the next few months I will be at the Forest Lake Shopping Centre and in the community hosting events to raise awareness, provide support and give information.

“Heritage established the Forest Lake Community Branch in partnership with Forest Lake One Community to make sure the people of this community had access to high-quality banking services right here in Forest Lake,” Mr Newman said.

“Our Community Branch model provides a win-win for the community. Not only does Heritage give people access to fantastic banking products and services, but the more people do their banking here, the more money we can return to the community through these funding grants.”

Mr Newman said he was extremely proud of the Heritage Forest Lake team and what they had achieved over the past 10 years.

“The team has worked extremely hard to support our community and give our customers the high level of service they deserve. We have a strong drive and passion to support our community and look for every opportunity to do our part and get involved where we can,” Mr Newman said.

Residents urged to prepare for severe summer weather

Forest Lake Property Sales & Property Management

Residents are being urged to roll up their sleeves and begin preparing their homes and properties in preparation for the seasonal weather hazards Brisbane can experience during the summer months.

Cr Quirk recently launched Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Be Preparedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; All Hazard awareness campaign encouraging residents to prepare now for Brisbaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unpredictable summer weather such as flash flooding, storms and bushfires.

Simple actions including preparing an emergency kit, signing up for the Early Warning Alert Service and cleaning up can reduce the impact of a severe weather event.

The Early Warning Network provides a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;heads upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; about potential severe thunderstorms and enables residents to take appropriate precautions necessary to keep themselves and their families safe. Queenslandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bushfire season runs from August to December each year while the south east summer storm season is typically experienced from September through to March.

Council has undertaken extensive works across the city in preparations for the summer hazards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve invested $4 million for fire preparedness to carry out hazard-reduction activity, maintain fire-fighting equipment and undertake fire trail maintenance, to prevent, prepare for and respond to bushfires,â&#x20AC;? Cr Quirk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throughout the year Council undertakes regular tree trimming and drainage maintenance to ensure that Brisbane is prepared for an all hazards event at a time and this financial year we will spend $14 million on tree trimming and $29.7 million on drainage maintenance.

Brisbaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SES capabilities will be further strengthened when a new $1.7 million SES depot in Richlands opens next month to service Brisbaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s south west and will be home to one of Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4 sandbagging machines. Our sandbagging machines have greatly increased our capacity to provide sandbags to residents during a storm event, with the new machines capable of filling 1,200 sandbags per hour.â&#x20AC;?

Homeowners and residents are encouraged to get storm prepared with the following steps: â&#x20AC;˘ clean up the yard, clean gutters and downpipes of leaf litter, and check the roof and skylights are in good condition. â&#x20AC;˘ if a storm is approaching, secure loose items in your backyard or on your balcony. â&#x20AC;˘ if flooding is likely, ensure valuables are stored up high. â&#x20AC;˘ prepare an emergency kit, which should contain a torch, portable radio, spare batteries, first aid kit, emergency contact numbers and important documents such as insurance papers. â&#x20AC;˘ sign up to the Early Warning Alert Service at www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/beprepared.

To find out more information on preparing your home and property, residents can take Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Be Preparedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; checklist online at www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/beprepared.

Giardia in pets

Diagnosed cases of Giardia are on the rise in this area.

Giardia is caused by the parasite Giardia canis and usually affects dogs, particularly puppies, and less frequently cats. The majority of the parasite’s life cycle is spent in the intestines of its unwitting host. The parasite forms a hard cyst that gets passed in faeces and is thus spread into the environment.

Diarrhoea, severe or mild, is most common sign of Giardiasis. The diarrhoea can be either intermittent or chronic. Typically there is a high volume of diarrhoea with soft, almost frothy, mucousy stools. Weight loss and malabsorption can occur. A rancid odour to the faeces is often noticed. The infection is diagnosed by a faecal test. A positive test in a pet with clinical signs means that Giardiasis is likely involved, so treatment should be undertaken.

There are a few drugs used to eliminate the parasite.

The choice of drug, the dose, and the length of treatment, will depend on the severity of the infection and the overall health of the patient. If the pet is severely dehydrated from the diarrhoea, further testing, hospitalisation and fluid therapy may be necessary.

Most pets don’t become seriously ill because of Giardia, so the prognosis is almost always good. However, if a pet has some underlying disease, particularly one that compromises the immune system, Giardiasis can cause a more serious infection. These animals still typically recover with more intensive treatment in hospital.

Throughout the world, it’s fairly common in people too. It’s not necessarily passed directly from animals to humans but both can come into contact with the same contaminated source. Many dogs pick it up from puddles at parks contaminated by faeces from infected dogs, so washing your hands after handling pets and supervising your children’s hygiene can’t be emphasised enough.

Cats may be less vulnerable because they are often more discerning as to what they put in their mouths.

Annastacia Palaszczuk MPP STATE MEMBER FOR INAL A

Thanks to our teachers It was World Teacher Day on October 30 and I’d like to take this chance to acknowledge the hard work of dedicated teachers in our local area. We rely on teachers to spark interest in our young people and give them a quality education so they have the best chance at seeing their ambitions come true.

That’s true now and well into the future. I recently launched the Advancing Education plan. This is our road map for reforming education so our schools better prepare Queensland students for the jobs of the future.

A key plank in this is a plan to introduce a digital curriculum next year and launch the #codingcounts discussion paper. To find out more and to have your say, visit advancingeducation.qld.gov.au

Get ready for Summer Summer is almost here and that means summer storms are not far off. We need to start preparing now and making sure we’re ready for what the weather might bring. Cleaning gutters, removing debris from the yard and packing an emergency kit will help if a severe storm hits.

It’s important to have a torch handy as well as a battery-powered radio so you can listen to the latest emergency advice.

You can find more information about preparing an Emergency Kit at getready.qld.gov.au or visit the Inala Electorate Office to collect a brochure. Alternatively, phone 3372 3207 and we can organise to have one posted to you.

Remember to be pool safe this summer Drowning is one of the leading causes of death in Queensland for children under the age of five years old.

This is something that we can all prevent by following five of Laurie Lawrence’s tips from his water safety program.

1. Fence the pool If you are a pool owner it is your responsibility to make sure that your pool complies with the state government pool fencing legislation. To make sure your pool is registered, visit www.qld.gov.au and follow the link.

2. Shut the gate Be sure that your pool gate and doors leading to the pool area have self-closing hinges and are not propped open. Check the latch regularly and fix it immediately if it is faulty.

3. Teach your kids to swim Learning to swim has many benefits for children, not only for their health and wellbeing but also for enhancing their self-esteem in the water.

4. Supervise Adult supervision is essential at all times when children are near the pool or other bodies of water. We all know how curious children are and how they are drawn to water. Older children should not be left responsible for the safety of a young child; they often don’t realise the signs of struggle or are unable to act in an emergency.

5. Learn how to resuscitate To prepare yourself for an emergency, learn resuscitation and first aid techniques. Performing first aid at the scene may increase the child’s chance of recovery or even save a life.

For further information visit www.kidsalive.com.au and prepare your family for a safe summer around the pool.

Family Focus

with Mark Mackay

“Discipline is not a dirty word!” That’s the advice an older man gave me when we had our first child. He went on to tell me, “Remember Mark, your first job is to be her dad, not her friend.”

My initial reaction was, “But I want to be her friend.” He went on to explain to me that while it’s good for me to want to be a friend to my kids, my first priority is to be their parent – to discipline, to guide, to nurture and to lead.

I think it’s fair to say that most parents want to be friends with their kids but the model we are often given in the media today is that the best way for this to occur is to “let our kids find full self-expression” and not discipline them. If a child doesn’t want to do something, go somewhere, behave appropriately, let them.

However, the problem of not appropriately disciplining our children is that we set them up to think they are the centre of the world – it them comes as an enormous shock to find this isn’t the case when they enter the wider world. While we need to encourage, affirm and honour our kids, we also need to teach them the virtue of self-discipline.

Studies have shown that, on average when kids have good boundaries and discipline, they achieve better results at school, have better social skills, gain better self-discipline and respect others.

The other potential aspect, I believe, is that parents become empowered to be exactly that – parents! We want our kids to respect us – the Biblical commandment is for children to “honour your father and mother.” (Exodus 20:12) That comes as parents honour one another, back one another up and show respect for ourselves by not accepting disrespect.

The wonderful thing about healthy discipline is that the results become a legacy. The way I know that is that the older man who gave me the advice at the start of this article was my dad, who was once given the same advice by his father. My dad and I are mates but that mateship grew out of him being first and foremost, ‘Dad’.

If you were not modelled good parenting, you can be the generation that makes the change! Get along to a parenting seminar that will be run later this year, read some material on parenting, decide to change one thing in your home and build from there.

At Forest Lake Baptist Church, we will be holding a special service to celebrate Foster Care families on Sunday 22 November. If you are a foster care family or interested in finding out more, please feel welcome to join us at the FLSS Performing Arts Centre at 9.30am.

Forest Lake Probus Club Update

Jenros Framers e Framer Your Local Pictur

by Marge Breitenbach

What a month it has been with sirens, Intelligence, a ghost , beautiful flowers & a police talk! These were just some of the experiences the Probus Club of Forest Lake Inc enjoyed. Our September trip was down to Canungra Kokoda Barracks home of The Museum of Australian Military Intelligence. As Probians alighted from the bus, we were met by our guide and the Manager of the Barracks, Captain Dennis Magennis, then all consternation broke loose!

Different sirens at different intervals split the silence and made some of us jump. This was our welcoming call and Captain Magennis explained that each siren conveyed a different “message”. One meant it was time to “Evacuate”, another was “Lockdown” and another “Stand down”. The Land Headquarters Training Centre (Jungle Warfare) was formed at Canungra to provide Australian and Allied Servicemen with superior training in jungle and combat skills as well as improving their bushcraft skills. Kokoda Barracks has seen many changes over the years and today it is known as the Headquarters and home of Land Warfare Centre, The Defense Intelligence Training Centre including the Officer Training Wing. It remains one of the premier training establishments of the Australian Defense Force.

After the concentration at Kokoda it was off to lunch at the Canungra Village and then off to Tambourine House and Winery to watch a demonstration by the owner’s kelpie. We learnt about Molly the ghost who inhabits Tambourine House and we enjoyed an afternoon Devonshire Tea at the main house on the verandah.

Some Forest Lake members recently joined the Kenmore Probus Clubs for a Springtime on Mt Tambourine celebration. We were all fascinated by the purple-flowering Eupatoriums and the unusual red Euphorbias. Many plants and produce were purchased at the show grounds where we enjoyed a lunch of gourmet sandwiches. Rhubarb seemed to be the most popular produce purchase of the day!! Five magnificent gardens were visited and we were all green with envy at the effort put in by owners to allow visitors to trample through the gardens for their enjoyment.

After a coffee stop at the Botanical Gardens, looked after solely by volunteers, it was home. Val was the Forest Lake member who brought this outing to the Club’s attention & coordinated with the Kenmore Clubs. A very special thanks to Val and all the Kenmore Clubs for recharging our batteries for gardening!

Our October speaker was Acting Sergeant Darnielle Fioriti who was supported by Garry Volk, Bernie Paine and Reuben Goh all from Volunteer in Policing and District Crime Prevention Coordination Unit, Centenary. They all focussed on how to stay safe and prevent becoming a victim of crime. We were alerted to the latest scams and how to ensure our homes are safe as well as the service provided by this particular arm of the police. Emphasis was also placed on not just being a bystander but if one is aware of a problem “do something about it” and be a “good neighbour!” Vice-President John passed the vote of thanks.

A special invitation to retirees and semi-retirees to pay us a visit for fun, frolic and friendship. We meet the second Tuesday of the month at the Forest Lake Hotel at 10am.

Come and enjoy morning tea. Please call Shirley on 3879 9421 to enable her to make catering arrangements or President Joan on 3372 9923.

Get your dog in the Christmas spirit Santa PAWS is coming to town! The RSPCA is once again hosting Santa at their Brisbane Animal Care Campus. So if you want to have your picture taken with Santa and your pooch, visit 139 Wacol Station Rd, Wacol on Saturday November 21 or Sunday November 22.

You are invited to attend the Forest Lake RSL Sub-branch Remembrance Day Service at the Lake Amphitheatre commencing at 10.30 am. The Service includes a formal wreath laying and if you wish to lay a wreath, you may do so, just speak to a Sub-branch member on the morning.

Play HOY at St Hugh’s A HOY morning is held every Monday at 10am at St. Hugh’s Church 105 Poinsettia Street, Inala.

There are interesting prizes to be won, new friendships formed, old friendships renewed, lots of fun and laughter, and plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits.

Come early for a cuppa before the start, then later stay for morning tea. Cost $4 entry and raffle tickets 50c.

For more information ring Iris on 3372 6346, if not home please leave a message and your call will be returned.

Sub-Branch News For most of this year one of our members, Mr David Brewer of Algester, has been involved in helping provide flood relief to the St George District. He does this by making regular trips and taking donations of food, clothing and the like, as well as cash, to the area regularly. He uses a 2 tonne van supplied free by AVIS. If you would like to know more, contact the Secretary on 0412 357 756.

Sadly we had to farewell two of our members recently, Mr John Rowan and Mrs Catherine Calverley. You may not recognise their names, but their faces might be familiar to you as they spent many hours selling badges on behalf of the Sub-branch.

The destination for the September outing of the Forest Lake Fifty Plus Club was the annual Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers. We had another great attendance of our members who all eagerly awaited the arrival of their coach to take them up the hill to view the amazingly beautiful worldrenowned gardens.

Our morning tea stop on the way was at Picnic Point, with cakes, slices, tea and coffee provided by a few of our lovely members. The next stop was at Toowoomba’s Queens Park to wander around the beautiful display of colourful flowers and contemplate what our own garden might look like if we had the time and more importantly, green fingers.

After walking around the gardens, it was then time to make our way to Toowoomba City Golf Club for a wonderful buffet lunch. Following lunch it was back on the coach to search out a few of the prize winning open gardens. They didn’t disappoint us, as it was obvious to all why they were the winners. After a very enjoyable day, it was time to make our way back home, with much discussion on the bus about what you could do to make your own garden as beautiful as those in Toowoomba.

The Forest Lake Fifty Plus Club wishes to acknowledge its support from the Heritage Community Branch, Forest Lake.

Forest Lake Fifty Plus Club meets on the third Friday of the month at the Lions Club, Pine Road, Richlands, 10.30am sign in for a 11.00am start. New members are always welcome.

From the desk of Angela Owen-Taylor Parkinson Ward Councillor As we enter the month of November, it is a time for all of us in the community to pay our respect and show support on Remembrance Day 11th November. Last year the Lord Mayor and I were able to assist the Forest Lake RSL Sub Branch with selling poppies at the stall at Forest Lake Shopping Centre.

I encourage all residents to support our former and current service personnel through buying a poppy and wearing it with pride. On ANZAC Day I was proud to unveil the new memorial in the Amphitheatre in the Forest Lake Parklands to honour all men and women who have served our nation in uniform. We will remember them, Lest We Forget.

There has been some misinformation circulating in the community regarding the status of the intersection at the corner of Wadeville St and Ritchie Rd. The State Government is building a new prep to year 6 school at this location and it is anticipated to open in January 2016. The contractors applied for a full road closure permit, however Council officers have informed them to amend their application to ensure access is maintained for residents.

This amendment process is currently being undertaken by the contractors in consultation with a number of key stakeholders including the State Government departmental representatives, sub-contractors, Queensland Police, elected representatives and Council.

In order to ensure safety in the road precinct surrounding the school, parents and carers of students are reminded this is a school safety zone and once the school is opened drivers need to drive accordingly. Drivers should not double park, should not stop on a yellow â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Stoppingâ&#x20AC;? line, and all drivers should obey all road rules and signage. Council officers do monitor local schools and should drivers act in a manner in breach of those rules, enforcement action may be taken. Please remember the safety of children is the priority.

A time to remember the little ones that have shared our lives

RICHLANDS SCOUT

GROUP UPDATE

by Melanie Wedgewood

What a month! During the school holiday break the Scouts took the opportunity to have some fun. We had a great time out at Rochedale Revue - a night of fun and entertainment, dancing and singing - all performed by youth members and Leaders of the Scout Association. This was followed up with a nice, relaxing three day hike for some of our Scouts, and a day on the water paddling from Burtons Well to Kholo for others.

October activities included a sleep over at Underwater World for our Joeys, weekend Leadership camps for our Cub and Scout sections, and an opportunity to talk with Scouts from interstate and all over the world as part of our District JOTA/JOTI weekend (Jamboree of the Air and Jamboree on the Internet).

During November, we have one last hike planned before our Group Christmas Sleepover Party. Then we will be winding down with our individual section break ups for the year and a nice night out at the Scouts Queensland Christmas Carol evening at Roma St Parklands.

We are always happy to have people come and visit us to see if Scouting is for your child. For further details please contact Rosella on 0402 308 182.

Those eerie calls in the night

by Meg Gordon

Some residents in the western suburbs have been disturbed by strange shrieking/wailing cries in the early hours of the morning. Alarming as the sounds are when heard for the first time, they are the calls of a ground-dwelling bird, the Bush Stone-Curlew, a protected species under the Nature Conservation Act and quite harmless to humans. Often found on golf courses and parks, it appears to be increasingly heard and seen in some suburban streets.

We are lucky to have such an icon of the Australian bush around Brisbane. In New South Wales and Victoria, the Bush Stone-Curlew is classified as an endangered species and captive breeding programs have been initiated in an attempt to ensure its survival.

The unusual appearance of the bird has always evoked mythology, some positive and some negative.

In reality, it is just a native creature trying to survive. Like many night-feeding birds, the large eyes help it to see in the dark. The Stone-Curlew’s colouring along with its unusual postures and slow daytime walk provide excellent camouflage. Sitting on mulch or on grass where branches and sticks have fallen, it can merge into the background so that even experienced bird observers sometimes fail to see a bird quite close to them.

Many pairs are currently breeding. Being ground-nesters, the adults have to protect their eggs and young chicks from predators such as foxes, goannas, cats, dogs and predatory birds. Spot the second chick in Judy Leitch’s photo!

The public can, and some do support the breeding process. A wide range of people watch nests and warn people not to go too close. Cats and dogs should be kept away from nesting pairs (with cats shut in at night). Stormwater drains are a known fatal hazard for young chicks that fall into them and cannot get out. In at least one area, some residents have taken the initiative of temporarily covering stormwater drains near breeding pairs with young chicks.

You can visit Scott O’Keeffe’s project site for more information about the species and the current study of breeding stone-curlews at: www.facebook.com/BushStonecurlews

Green light for Johnson Stapylton Upgrade I am pleased to be able to provide local residents an update on the upgrade of the Johnson and Stapylton Road intersection. Council has previously undertaken detailed design work to upgrade this intersection to traffic signals.

Recently, I was able to join Logan Mayor Pam Parker and local Councillor Angela Owen-Taylor to announce that Brisbane City and Logan City Councils had reached a funding agreement to upgrade this road on the City’s border.

07 3403 4400 lordmayor@brisbane.qld.gov.au www.grahamquirk.com.au www.facebook.com/ lordmayorgrahamquirk

The project will commence next financial year. Council will update residents on the project further prior to work commencing. Council’s investment in the duplication of Stapylton Road between Wadeville Street and the Logan Motorway is also continuing and it on schedule for completion early next year.

Forest Lake Area F

Garden Group

by John Prout

The last month of spring is upon us. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve looked forward to this season for so long and now we are one month off summer and our thoughts are turning to the upcoming Christmas season. Oh! Where has the year gone? I suppose the organised people are making their list of gifts for friends and family for the upcoming festive season. Why not include a couple of living gifts? There are so many colourful plants, pots and accessories on the market. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to check-out the great deals from our sponsor Crossacres Garden Centre.

As we prepare for the Christmas season, take this opportunity to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dress-upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; your garden for the upcoming BBQs, parties and other celebrations that roll around this time of the year. Summer also brings the thunderstorms and it is best to be prepared. Lop off any loose branches on the trees, empty the gutters of leaves and ensure all loose items are secured.

Wow â&#x20AC;&#x201C; last month we celebrated our 20th anniversary with a Friendship Day and we were joined by members from seventeen garden clubs with guests coming from afar as Boonah and Bribie Island. From feed-back we have received, one common question was â&#x20AC;&#x153;when is the next one?â&#x20AC;? The list is too long to thank everyone involved however special thanks to Angela Naumann for her creations of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Four Seasonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in floral art. Apart from our successful plant area, thanks to the ladies from The Forest Lake Craft Group for their display and to Helena Boyce for making our anniversary cake.

Have a good look at your grafted fruit trees throughout November, and, if there are any shoots appearing below the graft, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to remove these at once! Your tree will thank you for it! One group of plants that is hardy are the succulents that will survive where other plants might simply fade away.

A typical example is a sunny bank that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold water and is baked by the sun through most of the day. An ideal succulent spot!

This monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bus trip to The Chilli Patch and surrounding areas is full however watch out for our first bus trip for 2016 as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll visit The Lost Garden in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast.

Our community garden bed is currently growing butternut pumpkins, two types of tomatoes, silverbeet, cucumber and a couple of watermelon seedlings. Hopefully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to bring some produce to the club early in the new year to share with the members.

Our December meeting will be our Christmas break-up party and hopefully all members will be able to attend. We have received some sample packs from Seasol Australia that will be distributed to the members attending. See you there!

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

Next meeting Tuesday December 1 at 9.30 for a 10am start.

The Dutch Club, 123 Pine Rd, Richlands.
