a look back at Greater SpringďŹ eld with Cr David Morrison

Sinnathamby Boulevard

I recall in 2005 the Sinnathamby Boulevard Infrastructure Agreement being signed between Council and Springfield Land Corporation (SLC). This meant that Sinnathamby Boulevard would be constructed in 2006 initially as four lanes.

Sinnathamby Blvd was opened in 2007 and constructing it with four lanes from the start has proven to be a very wise decision with At the signing of the Sinnathamby Boulevard Infrastructure parts of Sinnathamby Agreement in 2005 are (L to R) David Henry then CEO of SLC; Boulevard now carrying Mayor Paul Pisasale; Cr David Morrison; Mr Bob Sharpless, approximately 20 000 Deputy Chair of SLC; and Mr Russell Luhrs, Planning vehicles per day.

Manager for SLC. Sinnathamby Blvd is a strategic road in the hierarchy of the road network in the Greater Springfield Area. The construction of a four lane Sinnathamby Boulevard encouraged USQ, Robelle Domain, Springfield Tower, Polaris Data Centre, Mater Hospital, St Peter’s Lutheran College to become a reality and is a vital part of the Greater Mr Maha Sinnathamby Chair Springfield Vision. Park Avenue Apartments are now being constructed and AVEO of SLC and Cr David Morrison Senior Living Precinct will soon become a reality and will rely on Sinnathamby walking Sinnathamby Boulevard Boulevard for access. on the opening day on 2007.

This year, I began working with a friend who has started her own business called CCA Creative, Caring for Carers. Basically we facilitate training on the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) as well as providing weekends away for parents and carers of a loved one with a disability.

On the weekend retreats, we have a number of ‘icebreaker’ games to get conversation flowing and give people the opportunity to share with others, in similar circumstances, experiences they have dealt with over the years.

One particular ‘starter’ was “Name a defining moment in your life and how it changed you�. There was one answer that was given that kept going around my head for the rest of the weekend. One lady spoke of how her husband’s sudden death had brought clarity to her life and that as a result, she doesn’t stress or worry about one single thing anymore. The whole of life had been brought into perspective and given her a new way of looking at the world.

That really hit me. When you have faced a top of the list fear like losing a loved one, it makes the things we tend to worry about insignificant.

When I was thinking about the huge life lesson this woman had learnt, it struck me that we don’t have to wait for these experiences to happen to us, for us to learn from them. Certainly, we learn through our own experiences but we can also learn from others. What a wonderful way to honour the passing of someone else’s loved one by learning to appreciate and value the important things in life.

Far too often, we seem to only learn from things that happen to us - and sometimes not even then! Imagine if we actually really listened to advice given to us by a person who has lived through circumstances we haven’t had. Imagine if we then put that advice into practice. And then imagine what our lives might look like.

It seems to be that some of us do this quite well, while others of us must experience firsthand everything before learning from it. Personally, I hope I’m more often in the first category and that I learn from other’s lessons instead of having to go through everything myself. I think if we can do that, then when some of those hard lessons, such as losing a loved one, do happen, we are more prepared and equipped to deal with them. If we have learnt from another that nothing is more important than the ones we love and we cherish and appreciate them while they are with us, if the worst happens then we know we have truly loved them fully and won’t have as many regrets. And if the worst doesn’t happen, we get to live a life full of rich relationships and real connection with those we love.

Thanks to this special lady for sharing her story on our Carer weekend away. The lesson she offered us was the first of what I suspect, will be many lessons I can learn from the amazing men and women I’ll come into contact with through CCA Creative. And I’m not going to waste them.

NATIONAL SENIORS UPDATE PDATTE

Goodna/Redbank Branch h

by Vera

Somerwil, Branch President nt

Welcome to the April update from the National Seniors Goodna Redbank Branch. Some news from National Seniors head office, in case you haven’t caught up yet, Michael O’Neill, Chief Executive Officer, has resigned after ten long years in the job. He has been a great advocate acting on behalf of seniors and will be missed. We wish him well in the next phase of his life.

What has the club been up to? Last month, we invited Councillor Paul Tully to the monthly meeting to give members an update on council activities in the local area and Ipswich generally and for members to directly discuss local issues.

For our March bus trip we joined up with Ipswich National Seniors for an enjoyable trip to Nimbin; an eye opener for many. Everyone enjoyed their picnic lunch in the park at Murwillumbah.

Our guest speaker for the Tuesday 19 April Branch meeting will be from the Heart Foundation. Richard will talk about good cardiovascular health.

Club members meet socially on the first Wednesday of each month at one of the many coffee shops in the district.

On 6 April members met at the Brookwater Coffee Club for an enjoyable get together and on 4 May, club members will meet at the Industrial Café, Redbank at 9.30am.

At the time of writing this column we are hopeful that our guest speaker for the May branch meeting will still be Shayne Neumann, Shadow Minister for Ageing, who is going to bring us up to date on federal changes with seniors policies, however this will need to be re-confirmed due to current events taking place at the Federal level.

National Seniors Goodna Redbank branch meets on the third Tuesday of each month, at the Goodna Leagues Club, Brisbane Terrace, Goodna. We charge a small fee for morning tea and visitors are most welcome. For further information about meetings and activities, please contact Val Randle, Branch secretary on 3297 5735.

Goodna/Springfield

Probus Club Update

by Gwen Wise

Hello and welcome to the column of the Combined Probus Club of Goodna-Springfield Inc. The Club held their AGM in March and a new Management Committee for the Probus year 2016-17 was elected, together with new and returning sub committees of members who share in organising the many activities and smooth running of the Club. To the outgoing committee members, we say a very big ‘thank you’ for all your hard work; to the incoming members – congratulations on your election and we are looking forward to another happy year.

At the February meeting, the members themselves were the guest speakers, giving short presentations on a hobby or special interest. Future guest speakers include Ipswich Mayor Paul Pisasale, and Tim McCallum, Ambassador for Assistance Dogs Australia and Spinal Cord Injury.

In March, we headed into Brisbane to see the ‘Medieval Power - Symbols and Splendour ’ exhibition at the Queensland Museum. On display in Australia for the first time, these artefacts from the British Museum span a period between AD 400 – 1500, and include items of gold, jewellery and sculpture of outstanding craftsmanship. Following the museum visit we adjourned to The Fox in South Brisbane for lunch – always a popular part of any outing.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Probus in Australia we are holding a ‘Posh Picnic’ at Wolston House on Sunday April 17. This lovely National Trust property will be a great setting for a bit of old fashioned style and glamour.

We have regular monthly coffee mornings and lunch dates, so there is usually something to fit everyone’s diary.

If you would like to discover firsthand what Probus Club is all about, do come along to a meeting – you will be made most welcome. Please ring Penny on 3818 7981 for further information. There is no charge for your first meeting and of course you are under no obligation to join. Club meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month, starting at 1.30pm, at the Camira Friends and Neighbours Clubhouse, in Bruce Lane (cnr Langley Road) Camira.

Local running group raises funds for Ipswich charity Local fitness group, Springfield Running Group, which began five years ago and has grown from a small group of friends to over 1100 members, took to the streets last month to raise funds for Ipswich charity, Footprints in the Park.

One of the organisers, Mat Britton, said the idea came about from a desire of the group to help those down on their luck.

“We wanted to collect donations of nonperishable foods, clothes, blankets, shoes etc and pass them on to the homeless and people in need. It was also important to us that anybody be able to donate something, even if it was a 65 cent can of baked beans,” said Mat. “When Cr David Morrison and Mayor Paul Pisasale suggested Footprints in the Park, it seemed like a natural fit.”

The event, held on 23 March, was to run from major sponsors Maximum Effort Fitness and Finance 4 in Springfield to Queens Park in the centre of Ipswich, approximately 35km. Runners then took turns pushing a shopping trolley, donated

by IGA Springfield Lakes and pimped by Ace Australian Crane Engineering, along the route and used it to collect donations on the way. Some of the 30 runners ran the full distance and others joined for smaller sections.

“We were all thrilled to take three car loads full of donations to Footprints in the Park, as well as hand over approximately $1500 that was collected on the day.

“As a group, Springfield Running Group would like to do this event every Easter and Christmas. We are so appreciative of all the local businesses who came on board at late notice and the incredible amount of community donations we collected.”

Springfield Running Group would like to publicly acknowledge the following sponsors and supporters: Cr David Morrison and Mayor Paul Pisasale; Platinum sponsors, Maximum Effort Fitness Centre and Finance 4; Preferred Partners, Cold Rock Springfield Central, Journeys Kitchen, Amart Sports, Orion Family Physiotherapy, Athletes Foot, The Greek, Slape and Sons; Business donations to the trolley, Maximum Effort Fitness Centre, Orion Family Physiotherapy, Cold Rock, IGA Springfield Lakes, The Springfield Anglican College, Coles (Orion, Springfield, Redbank Plaza, Riverlink) Woolworths (Orion, Redbank, St Ives Goodna); Slape and Sons who donated sausages for the BBQ. If you’d like to know more about Footprints in the Park and how you can help, visit their website www. footprintsinthepark.org.au or call 0432 990 323. To get involved in the Springfield Running Group, contact Mat by sending an email to matthewbritton75@gmail.com.

The afternoon will be held on Saturday 7th May, 12.45pm for 1pm start at Twelve Apostles Jindalee Catholic Church hall, 111 Yalambee Rd Jindalee.

Tickets are $20 each, pensioners $15, children $5, with all proceeds going to Christian Blind Mission and some funds going to Missionaries of the Poor.

Christian Blind Mission helps some of the most vulnerable people in the world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; people with disabilities struggling against poverty. In May, they will be raising money to try and eliminate river blindness in Nigeria. They also help with famine relief and training communities to be self sufficient. A small amount of money pays for a cataract operation which sets someone free from blindness for life!

â&#x20AC;&#x153; New Look, Same Friendly Teamâ&#x20AC;?

Two new appointments for the Ipswich Rowing Club.

Left to right: Lance Moffatt who has joined the Club as a volunteer rowing coach and newly appointed Captain of Boats at Springfield Anglican College, Caitlin Lythall.

The new president of the Centenary Rowing Club Rob Kennedy has offered the Centenary Rowing Club premises to boat a Springfield Anglican College crew in a Quad Boat for the first time off their rowing pontoon in Riverhills.

Director of Rowing at Ipswich, Dennis Taylor, said he was thrilled that an established youth rowing Club like Centenary was prepared to help a new rowing program, such as the new Ipswich Club, get more children active and rowing.

One way to encourage more kids to get involved is to visit Grade 8 classes and offer children free of charge to come down and try rowing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am hoping that we will hold a combined â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Come Down and Try Rowingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; event on a Sunday afternoon and invite Springfield rowers to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;have a goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on the same day,â&#x20AC;? said Rob. Simon Newcomb, founder of Youth Row Australia, said he had no doubt with the number of new coaches now joining Ipswich that once there is approval to build a launching facility at Goodna there will be hundreds of children from surrounding schools wanting to learn how to row. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been very fortunate in gaining help from the Ipswich Council to store our boats and equipment at Booval but we desperately need to have our own facility to launch our boats that are currently in storage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We already have a crew of young girls from Springfield Anglican College who have all passed their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sculling Introductionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; so the time is ripe to put them into a bigger boat and teach them to row as a crew and start preparing them for competition,â&#x20AC;? Simon said.

Head Coach Mr Ian Richards said that by fourth term this year he hoped to have other schools wanting to join what has proved to be a very good youth rowing program in Australia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We now have a number of new coaches including Lance Moffat, a local resident, who has had many years of rowing experience and will be a fantastic addition to our coaching panel.â&#x20AC;?

Caitlin Lythall, who was elected as the first Springfield Anglican College â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Captain of Boatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recently, said what she really enjoyed about learning rowing was goal setting, becoming disciplined as a crew member, and having an active mind.

More and more care providers and researchers have found that being involved in a mindful and creative activity helps mitigate a number of physical, sociological and emotional issues.

By learning new and challenging skills, we are protecting our brains and keeping them sharp as we age.

Activity not only provides broad simulation mentally and socially but also keeps us mentally fit as long as possible.

As more research becomes available, people are starting to accept the fact that the arts help improve oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s psychological health.

Whether someone has any mental issues or not, art is good for everyone and every age group.

Whether it is music, drawing or performance, art stimulates different parts of the brain and brings up the healing and calming power of relaxation. It is now accepted that music helps people with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease to recall information and sing songs. Dancing and dancing steps minimize trembling commonly occurring amongst those affected by Parkinson disease.

Being in the presence of an art object, actively engaging in the experience and immersing with others helps those with different levels of dementia. Across Australia, one person is diagnosed with dementia every six minutes, taking a massive toll on society, families, workplaces and individuals. Dementia is the third highest cause of mortality in Australia and the second highest for women. Each week across Australia 1800 new cases of dementia are diagnosed.

The National Art Gallery, after a number of years of successful implementation of the Art and Dementia program, is taking the initiative to 20 regional art galleries across the continent.

Participating galleries are being trained how to cater for people with dementia thus positively improving participantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quality of life by the intellectual stimulation art offers.

By actively engaging in creative and artistic activities positive emotions are stimulated, but more importantly, the art becomes the investment into onesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mental and physical health and extends cognitive functions.

In 2017, The Springfield Anglican College will be introducing a very exciting initiative building upon the excellent enrichment and extension programmes already in existence from Year Four onwards. Students who apply for, and are accepted into, the Year Seven Altitude + programme will be able to participate in the stimulating and challenging enrichment programme which will run through until the end of Year Ten. During the programme, students will accelerate through the core curriculum; English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Languages, whilst engaged in an independent researchbased subject known as Future Studies. Future Studies is a unique multidisciplinary curriculum study that extends beyond the Australian Curriculum. Each term, students will address a local or global issue by developing and implementing an investigative approach in the areas of information technology, social justice, philosophy and psychology.

The programme aims to develop student’s ability to create, anticipate and manage change in an ever transforming and diverse society, as well as develop their teamwork skills, emotional intelligence, resilience and ability to solve complex problems. In essence, the programme aims to help develop the higher order thinking skills that will be highly beneficial beyond the programme and as students further their learning in Years Eleven and Twelve and beyond.

For more details regarding the Altitude + programme, please visit the College website or contact the College on 3814 8100.

In Week Two, Term Two, the Creative Arts Week of Excellence will run across both the Primary and Secondary Campuses. It is a week filled with enrichment activities for all students involved in The Arts and consists of a diverse range of Music, Drama, Dance and Visual Art activities. The College has been lucky to secure the services of several high-profile artists and performance companies to run workshops at our College including Dr Robert McWilliams, an internationally accomplished musician, conductor and educator; Expressions Dance Company, who attract some of the finest dancers from Australia and New Zealand; DeepBlue, a dynamic ensemble that combines the “lush strings of an orchestra, the groove of a band, the drama of the theatre, the feeling of a movie and the excitement of a circus”; and Mr Philip Griffin who has had a diverse and rich career in The Arts with positions including Music Director at NIDA, Composer/Musician at The Royal Shakespeare Company, Choral Director, Music Teacher and Baroque Guitarist.

During the Week of Excellence, Year Twelve Elective Drama students will be rehearsing at the University of Southern Queensland Media Centre which includes a fully operational TV Studio. TSAC students and staff will collaborate with the USQ staff and third-year media students to present the Year 12 Drama Production on Friday 29 April.

Greater Springfield successfully hosts another Harmony Day Festival Harmony Day Festival once again attracted thousands of visitors this year, with more than 110 community organisations participating in the festival.

The community came together to make the event successful. Two USQ film and media students, Jakob Saran and Jordan Sellers, voluntarily filmed the event and projected it to the newly installed LCD screen in Robelle Domain Park, not only a benefit to the festival goers but great experience for the students.

Four local dance groups, Woodcrest State College, St Augustineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College, The Studio of Performing Arts and Mivida Movement, performed at the festival and local resident and Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent winner Paris Mogan also performed.

As well as local clubs and groups, organisations from Brisbane and the Gold Coast joined in on the fun of the festival with the Brisbane Chinese Scouts group singing the National Anthem at the opening ceremony. Brisbane Kung Fu School and Seharum Nusantara Inc joined together to perform lightening dragon dance, all a good example of cooperation and solidarity in our diverse multicultural community.

Organisers are now in preparation for the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival on 15 October to celebrate Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Week. World Harmony Society is dedicated to bring the wider communities together, to promote multiculturalism, and bring harmony and peace to our societies.

Springfield’s first charity shop now open

Vinnies Springfield is open for business and has been overwhelmed with the community’s support for their first charity shop in the region.

Customers love the modern vibe of this bright, spacious and easy-to-navigate shop, featuring timber floors, high ceilings and white walls – and the fact that it’s one of the largest Vinnies in the surrounding region.

“The people of Springfield have waited for their first charity shop to open and here we are, pleased to be at the centre of ‘old Springfield’,” said Joe De Pasquale, St Vincent de Paul Society Western Central Council President.

“We want to grow with Springfield, as well as work to support the community here as much as they support the good works of Vinnies themselves.

“And, of course, our value, prices and standards are the same in Springfield as they are in our 139 other Vinnies shops across the state. It’s a full range shop, offering men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, books, furniture, and bric-a-brac.”

Mr De Pasquale said like all Vinnies shops, Springfield would rely on the generosity of volunteers. “We are calling on anyone who could spare a couple of hours or a day to donate their time for a range of tasks including sorting, merchandising and customer service,” he said.

“Drop into our shop and speak to the manager about opportunities to help as part of the Vinnies team, learn new skills or make new friends while making a difference in the community. It’s thanks to our volunteers and donors that the funds raised through the shop can go back to people who need it the most in the community.”

Vinnies Springfield is located at 10-22 Commercial Drive, Springfield. Donations are very welcome, and can be dropped off during shop opening hours of Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, Saturday 9am to 4pm and Sunday 10am to 3pm. The store can be contacted on 3818 6711.

Across the state, almost 300,000 Queenslanders in need were helped by St Vincent de Paul Society Queensland, who provided almost $30 million dollars’ worth of assistance. A donation to St Vincent de Paul Society Queensland could help provide the following: $10 can provide a hot and nutritious meal; $50 can provide a doctor’s visit for a child; $100 can provide blankets for a struggling family; $150 can provide groceries for a week; and $500 can provide emergency housing.

There are hundreds of reasons to donate. You only need one. To help a struggling family, donate online at www. vinnies.org.au/donate or call 13 18 12.

YOUR INVITATION

Update by Pat Quickfall

The first Wednesday of the month was our AGM meeting, so there was no guest speaker.

It was Trivia Day on 9 March, so thinking caps were on again and everyone enjoyed a lovely morning tea afterwards.

St Patrick’s Day celebrations saw some of our members dressed up in green. Joe O Dowd told us some Irish jokes and Sussane and Christine entertained us with some more jokes. We ended the morning with a movie called The Plank featured Tommy Cooper and Eric Sykes good old English comedy.

Our Easter Bonnet Parade was on 23 March and was won by Jenny Butler with Murrey Phippen coming in second place. We also had an Easter bunny visit us, called Bob the bunny, and who gave out chocolate eggs to the members.

This was followed with a barbeque lunch, making for a very nice day all round.

We are now going into April and it’s beginning to get cooler, with nice cool nights that are better for sleeping. We are looking forward to a good month in April as we have a Cafe night and a bus trip.

If you’d like to join us, please call me, Pat, on 3818 9343.

Greater Springfield Lions Club Update

by Jeanine Buchanan - President

Thank you to everyone who attended our High Tea on 23 March. What a great success!

It was so much fun. Thanks to Moselle’s Cafe who made the most divine high tea I have ever had. The money raised is going to Assistance Dogs Australia.

Our club also held a very successful cheesecake stall at the Harmony Festival. The homemade cheesecakes were delicious; we have some very creative members.

We held a Bunnings BBQ and it was great to see so many people there who we knew and came to support us.

Our next Bunnings BBQ will be on June 12.

We have had a busy March but its been a lot of fun. Community members have embraced our Knitting for the Homeless Project and have been busy knitting beanies and scarves. Thank you so much. If you would like to knit or drop off balls of wool, you can do so at Moselle’s at Springfield Lakes or at the Camira Pharmacy.

Our next dinner meeting is on Tuesday April 12 at 6.30pm at the Springfield Tavern. If you would like to join us please come along.

A wealth of community, government and business experience will guide Ipswich’s latest team of councillors when they are sworn in this month. The new council will include a core of experienced councillors as well as at least three fresh faces.

Ipswich Mayor Paul Pisasale said Ipswich residents would be represented by one of the most experienced council teams in the state.

“In our returning councillors we have more than 130 years’ combined experience representing the people of Ipswich. That is a tremendous amount of knowledge and expertise, and not only will we continue to draw on that to get great outcomes for our city but also to mentor the new councillors on the team,” Cr Pisasale said.

Cr Pisasale welcomed soon to be councillors Wayne Wendt, Kerry Silver and Kylie Stoneman to the team.

“Wayne, Kerry and Kylie each have very different backgrounds but they all have one important thing in common – a passion for Ipswich,” Cr Pisasale said.

Mr Wendt is a qualified accountant, former state MP and CEO of Ipswich Jets. Ms Stoneman is passionate about creating local jobs and comes to the role from her position as an electorate officer in a federal MP’s office. Ms Silver is a strong community advocate and has a solid understanding of how council works, having served as retired deputy mayor Victor Attwood’s electorate officer.

“It is important to have a diverse range of experience and views in council so that we capture all considerations of the community when making decisions and with this new team we have got that in spades,” Cr Pisasale said.

“The next four years will be some of the most important in our city’s history.

“We will continue our important work to revitalise the Ipswich CBD, see sustainable growth at Ripley Valley, Redbank Plains and the city’s eastern suburbs and through our Smart City initiative we will position Ipswich to be a major player in the digital economy.”

Snake bites are a relatively common occurrence in regional areas of Australia. Around Springfield, Brown and Red Belly Black snake envenomation are by far the most common.

There are a number of signs which are typical of snake bites and, if observed, should be followed by prompt attention.

In the vast majority of snake bites, evidence of a bite wound is absent. Clinical signs observed are largely dependant on the species of snake as well as the dose and potency of venom delivered in the bite. Similarly, the clinical course of signs is also variable.

Dogs often show initial signs of transient collapse, salivation and vomiting that can be missed by owners. These signs may be followed by a seemingly spontaneous recovery.

However, the presence of these signs almost invariably means the patient has received a lethal dose of venom, with patients usually deteriorating with weakness, ataxia and urinating blood within hours.

In contrast, cats rarely display any initial signs, with the earliest signs usually being weakness and ataxia.

Your pet should be checked if you: • observe a snake attack incident; • find a dead snake in the yard – please bring in dead snakes for identification; • observe collapse, weakness, ataxia and urinating blood.

Snake bites are largely diagnosed on suspicion given the presence of signs suggestive of a bite. Blood samples to assess clotting times and kidney function and urine tests are also helpful in determining if a bite is likely, as well as the severity of the bite, but are not specific for snake bites. Venom detection kits are available to identify the correct venom.

Treatment of snake bites revolves around prompt administration of antivenin and supportive care.

Intravenous fluids, antihistamines, adrenaline and respiratory support with oxygen, may all be necessary if supportive therapy is to be successful. Hospitalisation for a minimum of 24 hours is usually necessary to ensure adequate monitoring and treatment.

Snake bites should always be given a guarded prognosis as many complications can occur, but generally, treatment outcome is significantly improved if the animal is hospitalised and antivenin is administered promptly.

Councillor’s Comments by y David Morrison ( DIVISION 1)

PH:

3818 3100 OR 0408 985 615

Election Results A sincere thank you to all who voted for me and supported me at the Local Government Election. To be returned to represent Division One for another four years is an honour and one I will not take for granted.

Polling Booths I had quite a few people who can’t walk with ease indicate to me that they find the distance and the topography between the car park and the Camira School hall too far and too steep. The State Government through ECQ organise the whole election and I will be writing to ask if the Camira, Springfield Community Centre could be considered in future years as a polling booth. If you found the Camira booth difficult, please email me on dmorrison@ipswich.qld.gov.au Clearing Around Mater Hospital I have been asked by many what is the clearing around the Mater Hospital. Much of the clearing is so AVEO can commence the award winning Senior Living Precinct in Springfield Central and that Health City’s land becomes ready for development into the best health precinct in Australia.

Library At Springfield Central All being well, a Springfield Central Library should be completed by the end of 2017.

Sports Fields This year four brand new sports fields will be developed in Springfield Central with an additional four fields and 26 multi-purpose courts by the end of 2018.

Springfield Runners Group A big thank you to those from the Springfi eld Runners Group who ran from Springfield to Queens Park in Ipswich pushing a shopping trolley collecting food for ‘Footprints in the Park’ an organisation that helps those who need a helping hand. Three utes full of food was collected. If you would like more information on the Springfield Runners group and when they do their runs visit their facebook page ‘Springfield Runners Group (SRG)’.

Communication It is easier to communicate with any elected member than any time in history. If you have any issue you would like to speak to me about, please call 3818 3100 and make an appointment or call me directly on 0408 985 615 or send an email to dmorrison@ ipswich.qld.gov.au or message me on facebook.

Cr Sheila Ireland At the time of writing these comments, all sitting Councillors have been returned as Councillors with the exception of Cr Sheila Ireland in Division 9. If Cr Sheila Ireland is not re-elected I thank her for her co-operation and many hours of community service over the last 12 years. If Cr Sheila Ireland is re-elected I look forward to working with her for the next four years.

ANZAC Day An ANZAC Day Service will be held at Robelle Domain. Our brand new memorial dedicated to those who have served and are serving in the ADF will be completed. Why not plan to attend and be amongst the first to lay a wreath or place a poppy in the Memorial in memory of all who have and are serving in the ADF? This years ANZAC Service will be sincere and short commencing at 5.30am and concluded by 6.15am.

Remember: Be kind, be thoughtful, be genuine, but most of all, be thankful.

Council backs Pasifika Spring Festival The Pasifika Spring Festival, formerly Celebrate Pasifika, has run since 2010 and is held in September each year at Evan Marginson Park, Goodna .

To be held this year on September 3, the festival enjoys strong community support and involvement and has helped forge links between various community organisations and individuals, while also providing valuable training and mentoring opportunities for students and community groups involved with the event, in areas such as food safety, event management and risk management.

ROTARY CLUB of Greater Springfield

UPDATE BY Chris Steinback

From left to right: Brad Chipper – President Rotary Club of Forest Lake, Colin Crawfoot – Chairman Australian Rotary Health, Lee Denton - President Rotary Club of Goodna, Bob Aitkin - Executive Director, Rotary Corporate Partnerships and Lee Watson - President Rotary Club of Greater Springfield.

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 Since the year 2000, Australian Rotary Health has focused its funding on mental health research. In 2012, this focus narrowed to the Mental Health of Young Australians, and in 2013, research projects focussing on the Prevention of Mental Health Disorders were included.

• General Health Research Australian Rotary Health engages with a variety of funding partners to provide Research Grants and PhD Scholarships. These projects encompass a broad range of general health areas including cancer, heart disease, children’s health, motor neuron disease, diabetes and more. There are two ways Rotary funds general health research: Funding Partner PhD Scholarships and Research Companion PhD Scholarships.

• Indigenous Health Research These scholarships support Indigenous students to undertake tertiary training in nursing, physiotherapy, psychology, dentistry and other health related degrees at university. These scholarships help Indigenous students to overcome barriers to tertiary study and qualifications.

• Rural Medical and Nursing Scholarships Australian Rotary Health provides scholarships for medical and nursing students to undertake placements at a rural and remote health care service. Students experience what these facilities have to offer and provide an incentive for recipients to pursue a career in rural Australia upon graduation.

You are invited to attend your local Rotary Club meeting, or contact us to talk first. Joining with your local Rotary Club can help you build new friendships 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. There is an opportunity for everyone, no matter where you are located or the time available, to get involved and make a difference.

The Rotary Club of Greater Springfield holds its meetings every Thursday evening at 6.30pm at the Brookwater Golf and Country Club, 1 Tournament Drive, Brookwater. For enquiries, contact Club Secretary, Lachlan Clarke on 0409 711 199 or President Lee Watson on 0404 052 354.

A message from the Mayor’s Desk

BY THE MAYOR - PAUL PISASALE I’m incredibly proud and humbled to return to work for another four years as Mayor of the City of Ipswich. The election result and support from the community was tremendous and I’d like to thank the great volunteers and campaign workers who stood by me during some long days and nights in the lead up to polling day.

I look forward to working with the fresh faces who join us for the first time, along with those re-elected to council for another term. It’s an exciting time for Ipswich. As Queensland’s fastest growing city, we’re leading the state in strategic and sustainable population growth and business confidence remains at an all-time high.

The annual Ipswich Festival is in full swing with free family fun across the region. The arts, music, heritage and nature have taken centre stage for this huge community celebration that continues until 24 April. Congratulations to the team at Ipswich Events Corporation and thanks to our corporate partners and business sponsors who make all of this possible.
