Need Competent Legal or Visa Advice?

with Susannah Friis There’s a couple of things that have been said to me in relation to marriage and parenting over the years that stand out - ‘DIM’ ie does it matter? and ‘Pick your fights’.

Both have to do with thinking about what’s worth it before reacting. We have a tendency to react without thinking, don’t we?

My husband and I were chatting about an issue with a certain person and I was really debating whether it was ‘worth’ confronting the matter or not.

Rather than a ‘live each day as if it’s your last day’ approach, I have more of a ‘live each day as if it’s everyone else’s last day’ approach. It’s possibly a more selfish way of living because I don’t want to live the rest of my life with regret for what I did or didn’t do if/when someone I love dies; if it’s my last day, I don’t figure I’ll have the wherewithal to regret much once I’m gone.

So for me, the problem of whether or not to confront someone on an issue can be tricky. On the one hand, I want my relationship with them to be as honest, open and mutually fulfilling as possible. On the other hand, I don’t want to waste time arguing or talking about something that, in the long run, won’t matter.

The other tried and true maxim of ‘life is short’ is thrown at us from every avenue, and sometimes, I think it’s counter-productive. If we take it too literally, we would never plan, never work out our issues, never confront others on things that hurt us or are hurting them - it’s almost a dishonest way to go through life.

However, if ‘life is short’ causes us to put things in perspective, helps us brush off the things that really don’t matter and stay silent about the petty things in others that we just need to get over, then it’s a good way to live.

And, as so often in life, we find that a balanced approach is what’s needed. We absolutely should keep short accounts with people and we definitely should think before we react, which brings us to the lost art of thinking.

My father often laments the bygone days when children were given the opportunity to just think instead of being perpetually entertained. And as adults, we are getting so used to not having to think too aren’t we? A little more thought and questions to ourselves about our motivations before words fly from our mouths or our fingertips would save a multitude of hurts and needless arguments. So next time you’re tempted to fly off the handle, remember DIM? 3201 1880

Brisbane City Council developed the Cleaner Suburbs Awards to champion the achievements of residents and groups who work together for a clean and green city. CitySmart, Brisbane City Council’s Sustainability Agency, has partnered to deliver the awards.

Forest Lake residents, Lea and Emma Interholzinger are among those nominated to receive an individual Litter Prevention Award for their hard work in the local area, particularly at the lake.

Noticing the overwhelming increase in litter due to the pokemon go craze just over a year ago prompted Lea and, then 14 year old, Emma to get active, picking up 2000 cigarette butts in the first week of collection.

Lea has passed on to Emma an awareness of the environment that she herself grew up with and is proud that Emma is as passionate about the protection of local wildlife as she is. The pair began the litter group last year and have been at the forefront of the monthly rubbish collection ever since.

Councillor Charles Strunk is proud of the locals represented in the nominees and finalists for the Cleaner Suburbs Awards. “This year we have had a record number of finalists from Forest Lake Ward who volunteer in and around the local community.�

Finalist were chosen by a BCC panel with the final winner being chosen by public vote. The finalist who receives the largest number of online votes will win an award. “I encourage you to participate by going online or calling 0488 824 571 to vote. Voting is open from 14 August and closes at 5pm on 31 August,� said Cr Strunk.

Finalists from the Forest Lake ward are: • John and Helene Maelich – Inala Bushcare Group Catchment Champions Award finalist • World Mission Society Church Of God - Litter Prevention Award – Group finalist • Amy Whiteman, Travis Muddle, Alex Floridis and Lisa Tittle - Litter Prevention Award – Individual finalist • Lea and Emma Interholzinger - Litter Prevention Award – Individual finalist • World Mission Society Church Of God - Councillors Choice Award finalist • Alfred Wreh - Innovation in Litter Prevention Award finalist.

Forest Lake SHS takes the Trifecta

Abel & David Wan Dental Practice Dr Abel Wan B.D.Sc (Hons) Qld Dr David Wan B.OralH GradDipDenntt Established since 1993 with overr 20 years experiencee We provide Gentle, Caring & Quality oral healthcare at affordable prices

Evening g & Saturdayy appointments available Josh, Kea, Kyla, Dusu, John and Calvin proudly show their winning trophies for the Yagera District Championships for 2017 In February they cleaned up in the pool at the Yagera District Swimming Championship. In May, they out ran them all at the Yagera Cross Country Championship. Now they’ve come home with the trifecta, taking the Yagera Athletics Championship as well.

Forest Lake State High School students have another good reason to feel proud of themselves and their school - this is the first time a school has taken all three Yagera District championships in the same year.

Principal Kostowski said, “With so many talented students at this school, it’s no wonder we’ve been crowned the highest performing sporting school in the Yagera District competition.”

Two years ago, Forest Lake State High School’s sports department set out to win all three of these district school carnivals in the final year for the Yagera District competition that featured Redbank Plains SHS, Glenala SHS, Springfield Central SHS, Woodcrest Secondary College and Bellbird Park State Secondary College.

Next year, Forest Lake SHS will join the Southern Scorpions District competition which will replace Yagera for representative school sport. They will compete against schools such as Calamvale Community College, Stretton State College, Browns Plains SHS, Park Ridge SHS, Glenala SHS and St John’s Anglican College.

The school’s values of PRIDE – Prepared, Respected, Included, Dedicated and Educated are a huge part of students’ philosophy when it comes to sporting competitions and the Forest Lake community should be proud of their incredibly talented young people.

Forest Lake

Do you believe in Angels?

The Pyjama Foundation was founded in 2004 to make a positive impact on the lives of our community’s most vulnerable children.

Alarmed at the statistic highlighting poor literacy and numeracy levels of children in care and how this contributes to a lifetime of disadvantage, founder Bronwyn Sheehan made a decision – a decision to offer hope and a more positive outlook for these children.

Through The Pyjama Foundation’s ‘Love of Learning Program’, volunteers called Pyjama Angels are screened, trained and matched with a child in care and spend one hour a week focusing on learning based activities.

Pyjama Angels read books aloud, play educational games, and help children with their homework. But most importantly in this time, they demonstrate that this child is valued and loved.

There are now more than 51,000 children in care in Australia. This number has more than doubled in the last ten years.

Children within the foster care system have some of the lowest educational levels in Australia.

By improving their learning skills, The Pyjama Foundation is making a positive, life-long impact.

The statistics are frightening: 92% of children in care are below the average reading level at age seven; 75% of these children do not complete schooling; 50% of the homeless come from a care background; 35% enter the juvenile justice system at some point (82% of Australian prisoners have below Grade 4 level of functional literacy); 28% of care-leavers are parents within twelve months of leaving care.

The Pyjama Foundation believes if we empower these children through education, then we can change the direction of their life and inspire these kids to dream big.

If you’d like to become involved and know more about becoming a Pyjama Angel, visit the website: www.thepyjamafoundation.com and click on the ‘volunteer’ button. Alternatively, send an email to natasha@thepyjamafoundation.com.

At the dinner, we hope to raise $15,000 to boost funds for each school. “Chappies provide spiritual and emotional support to school communities. They are in the prevention and support business: helping students find a better way to deal with issues ranging from family breakdown and loneliness, to drug abuse, depression and anxiety. “They provide a listening ear and a caring presence for children and young people in crisis, and those who just need a friend.

Annastacia

Palaszczuk MPP STATE MEMBER FOR INALA

Our local students never cease to amaze me with their achievements. I’m delighted a Forest Lake State High School student has received a prestigious award for their efforts in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

Lucinda Colbert was recognised as part of the 2017 Peter Doherty Awards for Excellence in STEM Education. I congratulate Lucinda on receiving the Outstanding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Senior STEM Student Award.

She has demonstrated a keen interest in STEM, having participated in an exciting Species Discovery Expedition in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland that could potentially identify new species. It’s wonderful that young people in our local area are embracing studying STEM and being awarded for their efforts.

My Government recognises the importance of STEM and has implemented a number of initiatives to support and foster student interest in these areas. Seventy-five per cent of the fastest growing jobs in Queensland require STEM knowledge. That’s why it’s vital that our students are prepared for the jobs of the future.

If Forest Lake students in Years 5 to 10 are interested in STEM, I encourage them to take part in the Premier’s Creating Queensland’s Future Coding Competition 2017. Students can develop their own animation, a game or an interactive map to help Queenslanders to stay safe in the digital age.

With entries closing on September 12, I encourage local students to jump online and embrace this challenge at www.advancingeducation.qld.gov.au/codingcounts.

by Marius, South West Brisbane Stamp Club Many of us remember when we first heard the news of Princess Diana’s death.

It was 20 years ago this week.

In relation to stamp collecting she was a very popular collecting subject with many people scouring the world’s stamp issues for anything to do with her. There

are literally thousands of different stamps that carry her image and immortalise her in some way.

Pictured is a stamp which celebrated her 21st Birthday.

Other issues celebrated her wedding to Prince Charles in 1981. Many collectors still treasure these snippets of her memory and the popularity just never seems to wane.

The good thing is it is not expensive to start a collection of Diana themed stamps with many issues only costing a few cents each.

As president of the South West Brisbane Stamp Club, I can offer a mentorship for anyone wishing to start a collection of these or any other stamps. A great hobby for both young and old. Feel free to call me, Marius, on 0410 366 685.

We are preparing for the onset of the tick season around Forest Lake with the days definitely getting warmer. With the dry weather, we have only seen a small number of tick cases but with some rain that will change.

Paralysis ticks infest pets that walk in or near bush land or in well-established native gardens. The tick completes a three-stage life-cycle with larva, nymph, and adult requiring a host animal for survival. The main native host is the bandicoot which is immune to the poison. Pet owners may not ever see bandicoots but may see holes in their lawns where bandicoots feed. Larvae are the size of a pinhead and have a light gray to blue-black appearance. Nymphs are a few millimetres long with similar colouring to the larvae. Adults are light gray, oval shaped and engorge to the size of a thumbnail if not found.

Symptoms appear as quickly as one to two days after the start of engorgement. The first symptoms are loss of coordination, a change in voice and retching, coughing or vomiting. Not all pets follow this simple progression.

Pets will die from the complications related to not being able to get enough oxygen due to uncontrollable heart and respiratory problems.

If you suspect your pet has tick poisoning, contact your vet. Keep your pet cool, relaxed and don’t allow them to drink or eat as vomiting can lead to aspiration. Spray the tick with a pyrethrum to kill it and remove it when dead or let your vet remove it.

Treatment involves giving an appropriate dose of antiserum and intensive support in hospital until better.

These sounds easy, but believe me it is not!

Each case is so different. Some dogs seem more susceptible to the severe complications than others. Each tick also seems to have a different amount of poison as well which alters the dose of serum needed for treatment from case to case. Some ticks cannot be found even though we know they are there. Thick coats, knots, hiding in body orifices and preexisting health issues all make treatment frustrating. Pets that have been treated before and cats in general are prone to allergic reactions to the serum.

Only prevention is the safest and least expensive approach to the tick problem.

For pet owners who are always careful and for pet owners new to the area, we recommend daily searches, grooming and clipping in thick coated breeds and using the latest products.

For dogs, spot-ons and collars are still used but the newer monthly and three monthly combinations have become more popular. For cats these days, some pet owners simply do not let them out but for outside cats, collars and skin application with specific products registered for cats are still the most popular.

Garden Group

by John Prout

Yes, yes it’s now spring and what has September in store for us? Apart from Father’s Day, there’s the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers, football finals, Royal National Show - the majority of the flowers in our gardens are about to reveal their true colours and wonderful display that only nature can produce. It is easy to be inspired by the colour and perfume of annuals and bulbs in flower and vegetable gardens continue to soldier on. Also as the days are getting longer, this gives us time to relax in the garden.

I hope you had an opportunity to visit the Ekka this year. The horticultural display, in the old museum, was nothing short of marvellous. The many displays of flowers and floral art, put on by many garden clubs showed that gardening is alive and well. All the clubs should be proud of their effort in displaying an excellent show.

Last month we had a trip to Margaret Koenitzer’s cottage garden at Springfield Lakes followed by a visit to Christine Heperlein’s garden also at Springfield Lakes. This garden contained natives at the front and a Japanese inspired area at the back. It also had palms with under-planting at the rear of the garden. Forty-two club members enjoyed a chat over afternoon tea at these open gardens.

Get out your sunscreen as our next bus trip on Thursday 14 September will be to Stradbroke Island. What a great opportunity to take in some sea-air, visit the therapeutic water of Brown Lake, visit some convict sites and check out the North Gorge Walk. Don’t miss out on this trip. For a flyer or further information contact Margaret Taylor on 3879 9143.

Moth Orchids (Phalaenopsis spp) are becoming popular as many supermarkets are selling them as gifts. They can be somewhat intimidating for a novice orchid grower. However with some basic care, they can be one of the easiest orchids to grow. The ‘moth’ refers to their broad, winged petals. Like all orchids their roots will rot if kept too wet, therefore it’s best to grow moth orchids in an orchid mix that will ensure good drainage. Sometimes roots can be seen on the surface of the mix or growing over the side of the pot. This is quite natural for orchids. For a full report, collect a copy of this month’s magazine aptly titled The Good Dirt.

Our guest speaker this month will be Jenny Holoway from the Frog Society. Why not come along and share morning tea with other local gardeners? Morning tea is served at 9.30am and don’t forget to collect some of the free plants on offer.

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

Next meeting Tuesday, 5 September at 9.30 for a 10am start. Uniting Church Community Life Centre, 528 Waterford Rd, Ellen Grove. For more information call John Prout 3288 3131 or Jill Lowe 0403 002 143.

Forest Lake Probus Club Update

by Marge Breitenbach

Winter in beautiful Brisbane is marked with pleasant, languid and sometimes hazy days with cold nights but it is also influenza season. To all our Probians who are feeling poorly, the Club sends positive wishes for a speedy recovery.

The monthly speaker was Bryan Laurens whose topic was ‘Bees and Beekeeping’. Today he is just a hobbyist because upon retirement he moved to a unit and distributed his hives amongst the family. When his grandson went to Preparatory School, he set up a hive for him at his mother’s place. The bottled honey Bryan brought to the meeting came from his grandson’s hive.

Bryan explained how to set up a hive if one wants to become a beekeeper or just have one as a hobby. One starts with a nucleus hive from a beekeeper who raises queen bees. Hives should be positioned facing north-east as bees do not like wind. One should start at the advent of spring. Honey is harvested in late spring and to remember to leave enough honey behind for baby bees.

Probians were also shown a video on the life-cycle and behaviour of bees. These insects travel several kilometres to collect nectar and fly about 15 kilometres in an hour. They also have their own bee language by vibrating and sending messages to other bees in their hive as to where and how far the nectar is. Bees only take enough fuel to reach a plant, thus if given incorrect information from returning bees, the others could die en route. They are obviously excellent mathematicians as far as calculus is concerned! Queen bees are made and not born. Bees are also very economical in hive construction by using the hexagon shape for the greater volume for the smallest use of material. Bees are a wonderful society. There is no crime and no strikes and they work with ruthless efficiency. What an example for the human race - a pity we don’t follow!

Probus Club of Forest Lake meets the second Tuesday of the month at 10am in the Uniting Church Hall in Waterford Road, Ellen Grove. Semi-retirees and retirees do come and pay us a visit to join in the fun, friendship and fellowship. We have a trip or function once a month, there is a dinner group, a book group and a coffee morning group and, of course, a monthly speaker. Then there is the regular morning tea and even some special greeters at the door! For more information please contact Membership Officer Judith on 3278 8042 or President Fran on 0403 882 030.

a message from the desk of

Milton Dick

MP

FEDER AL MEMBER FOR OXLE Y

Our local community is well known for being tight-knit and supportive of one another. Which is why when there is a call for help there is always someone ready to lend a hand.

We’re fortunate to have many people in our community who give up their time to help those less fortunate, and sometimes they need a little help themselves.

Last month I received an email from Forest Lake year 9 student Shilo Mondey about her dedication to help others.

Inspired after receiving a visit from World Challenge at her school, Shilo plans to travel to Myanmar (Burma) with other students and help the local villagers.

The trip includes trekking into the mountains to visit remote villages and to contribute towards education initiatives, improving access to water and conservation work.

However, to embark on this journey Shilo needs assistance to raise $7,000 towards flights and in-country costs. It is a worthy cause that Shilo is asking the local community to assist with. You can read more about Shilo’s story and how to help on my website www.miltondick.com.au/shilo.

Springfield Environment Corridor Last month I was proud to join Acting Ipswich Mayor Paul Tully and State Labor Candidate for the seat of Jordan Charis Mullen to call on the Federal Government to hand over the Springfield Environment Corridor to the community.

The 137ha parcel of land is equal in size to 10 Suncorp Stadium precincts and is currently owned by the Defence Force. The land sits adjacent to housing and Woodcrest State College meaning that defence activities are significantly restricted.

From bushwalking and birdwatching all the way through to heritage and cultural walking tracks, this land is part of the green lungs of Springfield and should be handed over to the local community.

You can learn more about this and sign the petition at www.miltondick.com.au/springfieldenvironmentcorridor.

ICHLANDS - FOREST LAKE SCOUT GROUP UPDAT

BY TA N I A McLAUGH LI N

E

At the beginning of August, Joey Scouts from Salisbury, Sunnybank, Sherwood and Richlands-Forest Lake joined together with their Leaders for an evening of singing and friendship at our Annual Joey Scout Campfire night. It was a great way to keep warm, and fantastic to see our other Joey friends again. Our Cubs, meanwhile, decided to beat the cold by getting together for a movie and popcorn night indoors.

The Joeys and Cubs have been quite busy. The Joeys spent an afternoon picking up litter and observing the wildlife at the Lake at Forest Lake. Cubs and Joeys then visited the Inala Art Gallery for an afternoon of painting. Our Annual August Cub and Joey Disco is always fun, and so was the Joey Scout Teddy Bear Picnic!

After all the hiking, the Scouts went for a different type of fun, building billy karts with the team at Bunnings Oxley, and then spending a day at Dreamworld trying the Big Thrill Challenge!

The Venturers participated in Nighthawk - an initiative based overnight course held in the Darling Downs. After this testing (and cold) night, a well deserved pizza night was just the thing to celebrate. There was also a visit to the XXXX Brewery. Connor also attended a Unit Management Course, which forms part of the Venturer Award Scheme, Our newest Joey Scout Leader, Danni-Elle successfully completed her Joey Scouts Basic Practical training weekend.

Congratulations Danni.

Our biggest news for the month is the presentation of four Grey Wolf awards! The Grey Wolf Award is the highest level that can be earned by a Cub Scout. It is a testament to the quality of our Cub Scout program and Leaders that we are celebrating these four newest awards, bringing our total this year to five. Congratulations to James and Emily Philpot, Anthony Appleby and Lucy Zimmermann. These four hard working and remarkable young people have now also completed the requirements to advance up to the Scout Section. We are sure that you will go on to even greater heights!

Four of our members, Lucy, Emily, Allan and Connor, are also involved in the Rochedale Revue stage show, with their performance season commencing September 20 until September 23. Tickets for this fantastic show are on sale now at trybooking.com.au.

Did you know that Scouts accept boys and girls from age six to 26, and we are happy to welcome new members all year around? Why not give us a call on 0402 308 182 and arrange to bring your son or daughter in for a free four week trial period.

Algester Update Last month I had the pleasure of sponsoring and attending the Grand Avenue State School Ekka Fun Day, which is delivered annually by the school’s wonderful and hard-working P&C. This will be the last time I attend the event as the area’s state representative, with the latest review of Queensland’s electoral boundaries moving most of Forest Lake to the Premier’s electorate of Inala, as I mentioned in my last update. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you – as a community – for sharing your spirit and for continually inspiring me. Working for you has been incredibly rewarding.

Meanwhile, there’s been some great news recently for Queensland motorists, with the Palaszczuk Government overhauling the way petrol prices are advertised. As of 31 January 2018, service stations will be banned from displaying discounted prices on fuel boards. This means the price you see when driving in is what you’ll pay at the bowser. No more confusion.

Our government has also just announced the Backing Queensland Jobs procurement strategy – a new policy for government projects that gives greater priority to local businesses. Now, operators within a 125km radius of where goods or services are required will have a greater opportunity to secure valuable government contracts. This policy includes a weighting of up to 30% to local business tendering for local work. This will deliver more work to Queensland – especially our small businesses – and will put more Queenslanders into jobs.

It’s exciting news for Forest Lake and our state as a whole.

Q & A with your local agent, Brad Arnold.

Brad Arnold is the newest member of the MTR Sales Team and commenced his role as an MTR Sales Consultant in early 2017. He has achieved a high level of success to date. Brad is a Consultant who is dynamic, professional, relatable, engaging and someone who ‘thinks outside the box’. These qualities, combined with his comprehensive knowledge of Forest Lake and surrounding suburbs, and an extensive network of personal and business connections all add up to Brad providing a Real Estate Experience that exceeds the expectations of his clients.

Q. What does it mean to you to be an Agent in Forest Lake?

I have always loved this area and can’t see me wanting to live anywhere else in the near future. In fact, after living in Doolandella for 9 years and Forest Lake for 14 years, my wife and I have recently built in Heathwood. My son attends Grand Avenue State School and both my wife and I have family who live in the area. I have seen this area over the years change from the bushland I used to ride my bike through as a young lad, to the now blooming community it is today. The beauty of Forest Lake is that everything is at your doorstep or simply close by and if you do want to venture out, it’s easy to hop on a motorway and head off!

Q. What are you most passionate about?

Family is incredibly important to me and 2017 has been an amazing year to date! I married my beautiful wife Terri in April, commenced my role at MTR and my son Zak celebrated his 10th Birthday in July. I also love all things sport. If I can play or watch it, I’m into it. I’ve always played some form of sport and enjoy participating in different types of sports. Being a part of a team and working together to achieve a common goal is what I like the most. I currently play basketball and help coach my son’s basketball team. I have recently taken up Mixed Martial Arts and can also be seen running around Heathwood as I continue to train for the Running CEO’s 10km Charity Fun Run in October.

Q. How did you become a MTR Sales Consultant?

I was fortunate enough to be offered the opportunity to join MTR after being asked by Principal, Marilyn Thurtell, whether I had ever considered being a Real Estate Agent. At the time, I was working for Masters Home Improvement which was up for sale and had just sold my Forest Lake Investment Property through MTR.

Forest Lake Men’s Shed Update

by Steve Bruford - President We were able to access the Salvos shed on High St at the end of July and since then we have built a wall to separate our space from the Salvos storage area. Back in June we were advised we had received a grant from the Community gaming Fund for $12725 for machinery. We have now installed most of that machinery and have set up the shed to be open for business this month.

We have had great support from local business like MTR property, Forest Lake Shopping Centre (Big Hearts Campaign), Just Sheds, Power Up Electrical and Ray White Forest Lake. We are also cleaning up outside the shed and have had help from Orcho’s Mini Loader to clear the area and have been advised Austral Bricks are giving up the retaining wall blocks to finish the area off. We will then just need pavers, which I am working on.

I am also working on a Forest Lake Calendar with all photos from the area, taken by the locals and hope to have this on sale before Christmas.

I am constantly amazed at the generosity of our community and would like to thank all who have helped us along this journey and look forward to repaying the community in many ways in the future. Most of all, we would like to thank Anthony Hunt from the Salvation Army for helping us make this happen. The one thing that was always missing was a location.

Thank you from all the Members of the Forest Lame Men’s Shed Inc, 25 High St Forest Lake.

If you’d like to know more about what goes on in a Men’s Shed, contact me, Steve on 0421 520 804.

News from the 19th Hole Forest Lake Social Golf Club update by Carolyn Nottingham The Club held an extra game at the Jindalee Golf Club on Sunday 30 July with 22 members playing in a Stableford event.

As with most Stableford events, scoring points on all holes was very important, and so it was for this event. Despite the relatively short nine-holes, the course layout was challenging, resulting in only a few players scoring better than their handicap.

Despite the recent dry spell, the course played a little short with not much run on the fairways, and the soft grass around the greens often did not reward some good shots into the greens.

Prizewinners on the day were: A Grade - winner Gil Vargas with 42 points; runner-up Dan McKay with 41 points, and just missing the chocolates was Kevin Ferguson on a very respectable 40 points. B Grade – winner Ian Whiteley with 34 points; runner-up Carolyn Nottingham with 32 points. Long drive exponents on the day were Pat Ayling (A), Colin Brooke (B) and Carolyn Nottingham (Ladies) on hole 15. Richard Focken won the nearest approach on hole 7 and nearest the pin winners were Atul Bhardwaj (hole 5), Don Pickwick (hole 8), Pat Ayling (hole 13) and Dan McKay (Hole 17).

The second round of the club championships was held at the Gailes Golf Club on 20 August, teeing off at 6.30am. Forty players competed with five groups teeing off the first hole and another five groups teeing of at the tenth hole. Results for this game will be published in the October edition of The Lake News.

If you play golf and are interested in joining our club, please contact me, Pat, on 0417 213 659.

Thanks go to our Club Sponsors, Heritage Community Bank Forest Lake Branch, Jindalee Golf Club Professional and the Drummond Golf Club Underwood.

Forest Lake Lions Club update

by Michael Janz Lions Adopt a Road Project Since 2013, the Lions Club of Forest Lake have adopted a section of road from south of the Forest Lake Shopping Centre to north of the Lake, and down College Avenue. It’s our aim to regularly clean the area.

We also clean up the new section of Blunder Road.

On Sunday 6th August with over 20 helpers from Forest Lake State High, St Johns Anglican College and the Lions Club of Forest Lake braved the cool morning picking up numerous garbage bags of litter thrown on the footpaths at Forest Lake.

Keep Australia Beautiful encourages all Aussies to do their part for the community by picking up one piece of rubbish each day. While it starts at home teaching our youth, please help by doing your bit to keep Forest Lake such a lovely place to live.

Lions Recycle for Sight Project Each year, the Forest Lake Lions, through the management of Lion Carmen Eramudugolla, recycles glasses. These glasses help people in Africa, Moldova, India, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Thailand, East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Fiji and other Pacific Rim nations.

Over the past six months our community has donated 1323 pairs of eyeglasses. These glasses add to the 500,000 collected across Australia every year. These glasses are forwarded to our two centres for recycling by our team of volunteers, participants from Work for the dole and Department of Community Services.

Your old glasses help people like Petrona. Like many third world people, she sews all her clothes for herself and her family of six. She also helps her husband on the farm. Her vision was becoming increasingly blurred so she decided to walk to the eye glass clinic in her village. She is grateful for the free pair of eyeglasses which enabled her to continue with her work.

If you have any glasses you’d like to donate, bring them to our barbecue at the next community markets or email us on forestlakelionsclub@gmail.com to arrange collection.

Find out more at our new website, www.forestlakelions.org which outlines how your Forest Lake Lions serve our community and others in need.

If you have one hour spare a week or at different times, we would love to hear from you. Come see what we are about.

Please contact our Membership Chairperson, Lion Stuart Grierson if interested on 0418 735 190.

FOREST LAKE RSL Sub-Branch Update

by Alan Greig g

Prior to federation in 1901, the Australian colonies had their own Naval and Military Forces. Indeed, it was Queensland in 1860 that raised its first military unit, the Queensland Mounted Rifles. The Colony’s military forces totalled approximately 250 men primarily from Brisbane and Ipswich. Seven years later two new units were raised namely the Spring Hill and Fortitude Valley Volunteer Rifle Corps and the Frog Hollow Rangers. Thirty years later the Queensland Mounted Rifles became the Queensland Mounted Infantry which served in South Africa in the Boer War. Upon Federation, the unit became part of the Australian Army but retained its colonial name and the emu plumes worn in their distinctive slouch hat. In WWI it served with horses prior to converting to armoured vehicles in WWII. In 1880, the Queensland Maritime Defence Force had two ships: the Paluma and Gayundah which, upon Federation, became part of the new Australian Navy and later the Royal Australian Navy.

Australian colonial forces had sailed to partake in the Sudan War in 1885 and later in the Boxer Rebellion in China in 1900.

But the first war in which Australia participated as a Nation was the Boer War in South Africa from 1899 to 1902, where Colonial troops were renowned for their ability to shoot and ride in the open war on the veldt which was similar to the Australian bush.

WWI included an Australian contingent of 60 nurses who paid their own way to care for wounded diggers. They served in ships off the coast of Gallipoli in the Army Nursing Corps formed in 1903. The Navy and the Air Force created their own Nursing Services. In 1914, Australia became involved in WWI. Australia had its first experience of trench warfare at Gallipoli in April 1915. The allies failed in their aim to neutralise Turkey, a German ally, when they could not overcome the determined Turkish resistance to holding the heights on the peninsula.

The troops were successfully evacuated in December 1915. Australia’s casualties were 8,709 dead and 19.441 wounded. Many of these troops were transferred to fight on the Somme. This conflict stalemated into trench warfare in atrocious conditions that was to take the lives of millions of men on both sides trying to gain a few metres of ground amidst barbed wire, intense machine gun fire and artillery.

The Australian Corps were led by General Sir John Monash who devised hitherto new fighting techniques utilising tanks and aerial resupply of munitions to frontline troops and aerial bombing. Australian troops were in the vanguard in the latter months of 1918 which led to Germany’s capitulation. Next month I will write about WWII. Page 24 - September 2017 - The Lake News

Forest Lake Friendship Group

FROM THE DESK OF

If you’re new to Forest Lake, or just want to extend your social network, this is a great opportunity to meet new people, make friends and enjoy some friendly conversation.

August is always an exciting month in Brisbane, especially with the arrival of the Ekka at the Brisbane Showgrounds. As the winter temperatures begin to warm again, it’s great to see so much activity and events in our community and beyond.

This year was my first hosting of the Forest Lake Ward Seniors Week Expo and it was great to meet with residents to discuss issues and concerns around Forest Lake Ward.

This forum was held across two days, with one day now dedicated to engaging the elders of a specific multicultural community within Forest Lake Ward – this year, I met with seniors from the Vietnamese community. I would like to extend my thanks to all those who helped out on the day.

It was very exciting to spend the Ekka public holiday at the Grand Avenue State School Ekka Fun Day. This event was a great opportunity for kids and families who may not be able to make it to the Brisbane Showgrounds and gave them a chance to experience the sights and sounds of the Ekka. I’m proud to have been one of the sponsors and to help on the BBQ. Job well done to everyone involved.

Father’s Day comes especially early on Sunday 3rd September this year and if you’re looking for a gift for dad, consider dropping by the Twilight Father’s Day Markets. These are being held from 4pm on Saturday 2nd September at the Lighthouse Community and Event Centre on Woogaroo Street and offer a wide variety of gift stalls including arts and crafts, food and drinks, and much more.

Happy 1st Birthday to the Forest Lake Litter Clean-Up Group that has been continuing to ensure our community is neat and tidy. Besides maintaining local beauty, the clean-up team also plays an important role in ensuring the waterways and environment of Forest Lake are kept healthy and pristine.

This team works alongside the Inala Litter Clean-Up Group to keep Forest Lake Ward free of rubbish. Special thanks to Gail - Mission Possible and Sue – Forest Lake Crochet and Knitting group for helping for donating beanies and scarves.

These three groups do such wonderful work in the community.

Please join me in thanking them for all their hard work.

As always, if you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact my friendly staff at the Forest Lake Ward office on 3407 1211.

The Forest Lake Fifty Plus Club’s August bus trip was a visit to the Sunshine Coast Hinterlands and Maleny Dairies.

Our first stop of the day was at the beautiful Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve overlooking the wonderful landscape out towards Brisbane. After stretching the legs and taking in the breathtaking views, we then tucked into a delicious morning tea, which was provided by several of our members. With morning tea over we then made our way over to the family owned Maleny Dairies, situated in the picturesque hills not far from Maleny.

The Hopper family established the dairy farm in 1948 and it is now in its fourth generation of farmers. On arrival at the farm, we were split into two groups for a very informative tour around the farm and dairy, finishing back at their kiosk, where we were given a taste of their milk, yoghurt and custards.

Thanks go to the Hopper family for looking after us and providing a most interesting tour of their farm and dairy operation.

With the farm tour concluded, we headed on into Maleny for lunch and free time to wander the shops. Like all wonderful days out, good things do come to an end, and so it was time to board our coach for a very quiet trip back home to Forest Lake.

The August ‘Extra Activity’ was Barefoot Bowls and a BBQ lunch at Durack-Inala Bowls Club, with a very good roll-up of Club Members. Those who didn’t have a go at bowling provided the vocal ‘heckler support’ to the bowlers! Generally the little white Jack ball was very safe from being hit, much to everyone’s amusement. Thanks go to the Durack-Inala Bowls Club members for providing a beaut BBQ lunch.

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

Forest Lake Fifty Plus Club meet on the third Friday of the month at the Lions Richlands Club, Pine Road, Richlands at 10.30am. Date claimers for the next two meetings are 15th September and 20th October.

For more information on the Club and its activities, please contact Leonie (President) on 0427 846 057 or Les (Activities Officer) on 3279 9449 or mob 0466 377 618 to register your interest, email fl50plusc@gmail.com. New members are always welcome.

At the time of going to press, the Wasps are full swing into preparing for the end of the season, with team photos, final matches and their annual celebration, Trophy Day. However, the rugby is set to continue, with the Kenmore Bears U6-U9 Carnival, Summer 7s and a Viva7s Fun Day all coming up in the off-season.

The focus now shifts to summer sport and the Wasps are pleased a committee is being formed that will see Little Athletics continue its program for the 2017/18 Season. Sign on information will be available via the Forest Lake Little Athletics Facebook Page, so make sure you are following it to keep up to date.

A very exciting development is the popular multi-sports program Young Sports, coming to join us. The Young Sports program is for children from 3-10yrs of age. Children are introduced to nine sports, one at a time. There is one x 30 minute lesson (for 3-6yr olds) and one x 60 minute lesson (for 7-10yr olds) per week and each sport has two lessons. Lesson times will be 3.30-4pm for 3-4ys, 4-4.30pm for 5-6 yrs and 4.30-5.30pm for 7-10 yrs. The sports included are: athletics, baseball, basketball, cricket, golf, hockey, rugby (non contact), soccer and tennis.

In brief, Young Sports children learn a basic skill set for each sport, develop the essential developmental motor skills (running, jumping, catching, striking, balancing, etc), experience the joy of sport at an early age and gain an understanding of the nine sports. Children acquire both general and sport-specific motor skills much earlier than they would otherwise - and have a ball doing it! There is also a free trial. There are a maximum of 10 per class so all students are well supported.

Fees are based on $12 per lesson for 3-6yr olds and $17 per lesson for 7-10yr olds e.g. a 10 week school term would be $120 for 3-6yr olds and $170 for 7-10yr olds. To enrol, fees are paid by the term or for four weeks at a time or weekly via direct debit (see link on our website). There are no other fees and four school length terms are run per year. Children can join at any time as no pre-requisite knowledge is required. Payment is made at the commencement of enrolment.

Please visit www.youngsports.com.au for more information. We look forward to welcoming even more Forest Lake kids to our fields for summer fun!
