Promoting a Healthier Community

Personally Speaking with Susannah Friis June was a hard month in the world, in particular the UK, which suffered attacks and fatalities from various quarters, and who knows what has happened between my writing of this and its delivery to you. With the barrage of ‘bad news’ it’s easy to feel dispondent, if not distressed, by the state of the world.

Since distancing myself personally from social media, I have noticed a difference in how overwhelmed I’m feeling generally about the world and us as a society. It’s paid off to remove myself from the daily bombardment of evil we do to each other.

Yet, of course, living in a bubble isn’t right either, so I do keep up with what is happening but it’s at my decision rather than the passive intake on social media that can be hard to avoid.

One of the sayings I remember my mother citing often when I was a child is ‘It’s an ill wind that blows no good’.

I never really understood it as a child but as I’ve grown older, the message embedded in the words rings clearer each year. There is always, always, something good from every circumstance.

When scenes of panic and fear flash onto our screens, the heroes are always visible. Where there is disaster, there are helpers. And as Australians, we feel both a deep sadness and profound pride that one of our own, nurse Kirsty Boden, lost her life in an effort to save others from the horror of the London Bridge attack.

And, as Australians, we have plenty of experience of natural disasters and the heroes they bring to light; from emergency service personnel to everyday citizens, there are always those who willingly risk their lives for others in the event of tragedy - either from nature or man.

So while it’s easy and natural to be horrified at the suffering humans can inflict on their fellow man, it simply takes one more step to see the good in the ill wind. And we fail to see the good at our own peril. Human depravity breeds in fear, in our collective shrinking back. It’s events such as the benefit concert that almost immediately occurred after the bombing of the concert at Manchester that breed hope.

We simply must push back the darkness and allow the light to shine. It is the road to healing and the path to optimism.

On a smaller scale, it’s easy to see comments and posts on facebook groups and despair of humanity. People’s propensity to meanness is staggering - but so too is our propensity to kindness and grace.

One of my favourite authors, Tim Winton, says it well in an article I read recently where he was talking about the kindness of a stanger during a time of great trial in his childhood, “I think of it as an act of grace. Maybe that’s just a fancypants way of appreciating the loving-kindness of humans. But when there’s so much opportunity for people to be vile, it strikes me as a miracle that they choose mercy, restraint and decency as often as they do.”

Let’s choose well.

Recently, we moved house after 17 years in the home we built when we were first married. What a remarkable transition. When we moved into our first house, 17 years ago, the only furniture we owned was a mattress, a TV, a folding table, a couple of chairs, a fridge and a washing machine. So, 17 years on, the job of moving a family of six was a totally new experience.

One of the things I noticed though, was how different people deal with significant changes. One of my daughters really struggled with the idea of change - she liked the new house, she just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to leave our old house. My wife is pretty mindful and measured - she works things through before acting. I, however, tend to just tear in and deal with the thoughts and emotions later. Different people have different ways of dealing with change and stress.

Throughout the move, I realised the importance of listening.

This is true for any stressful situation - whether moving house, massive changes in a family situation, grief, etc. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect everyone to work through things in the same way or at the same pace. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not necessarily wrong when some else works through it differently to us; we just need to listen and, perhaps even more importantly, hear them.

Too often in the current pace of life, we are too hectic to stop and listen. A military friend of mine says that part of basic training for military personnel going on exercises is to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tune inâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on around them, to notice when something is out of order and look for the little signs. We are sometimes very good at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tuning inâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at work but poor at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tuning inâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to those closest to us.

This discipline of tuning in and listening well is seen in the wisdom of the Bible when it says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.â&#x20AC;? (James 1:19) Indeed, the Bible even talks about God Himself inclining His ear to His people (Jeremiah 29:12).

In our noisy, busy, narcissistic world, we can have a profoundly positive impact on those around us if we will just â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tune inâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and listen, rather than clamour to be heard.

In your homes, be intentional: set aside some time around the dinner table, take a walk, play a board game and listen to those around you. It will be time well spent.

Social media snappers in focus for 15th Enviroplan competition A new Instagram category is leading the new-look Ipswich Enviroplan Photographic Competition, now in its 15th year.

The competition features seven categories for photographers of all ages and abilities with more than $3,000 in cash and prizes up for grabs. Anyone can enter the competition – you don’t have to be a professional photographer, all you need is a spirit of adventure and to get out there to capture some great photos.

The competition was officially launched on World Environment Day last month and put Ipswich in focus for another year under the categories of People, Places, Plants, Animals and Smart Living.

“We will also have a special category for primary school students and then our newest addition – an Instagram category for participants aged 13 years and over to enter using the hashtag #enviroplancomp17,” Environment spokesman Councillor David Morrison said.

All images must be captured within the City of Ipswich and fall into the following categories: • Get Out There: People - images that show individuals or groups of people embracing the great outdoors, getting out in the natural environment. Must have the permission of all people in the photo for it to be entered in the competition.

• Get Out There: Places - images that showcase Ipswich’s wonderful natural areas including landscape and images of Ipswich’s waterways.

• Natural Magic: Plants - showcases the natural beauty of native plants found within our city and can include native plant or fungi species. The preference is for images taken in the wild, but images of captive native species will be accepted. Macro photography is welcome in this category.

• Natural Magic: Animals - embraces the diversity of native animals found within our city including birds, fish, molluscs, crustaceans, reptiles and mammals, as well as bees, spiders and beetles. The preference is for images taken in the wild, but images of captive native species will be accepted.

• Smart Living - How do you live a cleaner, greener life? This category features images that showcase the environmentally sustainable initiatives and activities within our city.

• Primary School Category - students are encouraged to explore Ipswich’s natural environment and capture a photo of their experience and may enter a maximum of three images.

• Instagram Category - If you are aged 13 and over, enter the new Instagram category. Simply upload your photo to Instagram using #enviroplancomp17 to enter. The primary subjects of the photo may be a native animal or plant, natural landscape or body of water.

Winning images will feature in the annual Enviroplan Calendar and will be displayed at an exhibition at the Queens Park Environmental Education Centre. Entries in the 2017 Ipswich Enviroplan Photographic Competition will close on 21 August 2017. For more information visit enviroplanphotocomp.com.au.

Veterinary News

Canine Preventative Care

Intestinal worm, Heart worm, Flea, Tick and Mange infections are all issues we have to prevent in dogs and all of these problems are seen from time to time in our local area.

Intestinal worms are transferred from dog to dog, through faeces and by fleas. Heart worm is transmitted by mosquitos and even though a lot of our pets live inside in screened houses, it is still possible to be bitten by a mosquito. Fleas are still common and, because of the number of eggs they lay, are hard to get rid of.

Ticks are seasonal in this area but in some seasons I have seen ticks in Forest Lake from July to Easter.

Mange is common in young dogs of susceptible breeds and occasionally in old dogs.

We have normally had to use a number of products to deal with these issues. These products normally work well but we now have a monthly chew that does all of these and will make the management of these problems even easier. Veterinarians will advise you the best products to use for your dog. Cats sadly still remain difficult to prevent these problems in easily as they are so susceptible to toxicity to a lot of canine preventative products.

Further to my concerns last month about the new parvo strain, it has been established that the current vaccines do give protection against this strain and diagnostic tests currently available are all able to pick it up.

There are always new products and changes in disease patterns. Prevention with reliable products routinely given in accordance with the medications registration is the most effective way of dealing with these conditions.

The Salvation Army is calling upon compassionate Australians to Be A Souperhero this winter and replace every meal with soup from Saturday 29 July to Friday 4 August, to raise much needed funds for Aussies in need.

Be A Souperhero will strive to raise $100,000 to help struggling Aussie families living on less than $17.00 per day.* Souperheroes will seek the support of family and friends to donate to their challenge and all funds raised will go directly to Salvos community service programs.

Owner of award winning Australian restaurant MoVida and renowned Spanish-Australian chef, Frank Camorra will partake in this year’s challenge. Frank will transform into Souperchef Camzoro - a new souperhero with the power to create delicious soups inspired by his Spanish heritage.

“Thick, rich hearty soup is not difficult or expensive to make. In fact, it is all about relying on simple, staple ingredients brewed together in a single pot. I’m honoured to be involved in this year’s challenge. I have created a soup with a Southern European twist to tantalise the tastebuds and inspire Souperheroes across Australia on their weeklong soup journey.

My soup is easy to make, nutritious and above all delicious; a soup I grew up eating at home,” Frank said.

The Salvation Army’s spokesperson Brian Hallett, was thrilled to have Frank’s support and encouraged others to follow suit and sign up to Be A Souperhero.

“During winter, it is especially important to think of those members of the community who are experiencing hardship and disadvantage. Every year, thousands of people in the community go without meals, heating and medical treatment.

For families experiencing these difficulties, when it comes to mealtimes, soup can be a real hero because it’s inexpensive and quick to make.

“The Be A Souperhero challenge is a chance to make a difference to the lives of people who find it hard to put a meal on the table. We encourage as many people as possible to give it a go and commit to eating soup for a week or taking on a soup challenge. Every donation goes a long way to help the Salvos provide support to people in need,” Brian said.

Be A Souperhero is open to people of all ages and families with children are encouraged to substitute one meal a day with soup during the week long ‘Ultimate Souperhero Challenge’, or participate in other Souperhero challenges, including hosting a Souperhero Soup-Off or a Souper Lunch. Participants will set up their own online profile and family and friends can show their support by donating online.

Australians can register to Be A Souperhero, make a donation to the challenge or sponsor Souperchef Camzoro by visiting souperhero.org.au. *Data taken from The Salvation Army’s 2017 Economic and Social Impact Survey.

Probus Club Update

by Robyn Girdler and Pat van der Beek On a beautiful autumn day, approximately 20 GS Probians made their way (via the scenic route due to roadworks) to the Fox and Hounds Restaurant at Wangawallen in the beautiful Gold Coast hinterland.

We were greeted on arrival by a fully kitted out Scottish piper. As we found out later, May is Highland month at the Fox and Hounds. Initially, this was a novelty and some of us lined up for a photo with the Scotsman (who had a broad Aussie accent). Making our way inside, we found an authentic English pub with dark timber furnishings and a collection of photos and ornaments from all over the British Isles...right down to the saucy postcards! Outside, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II sat waiting politely with two of her corgis for us to take advantage of another photo opportunity.

The two-course meal included generous helpings of roast beef and pork and a good mix of roast vegetables. This was followed by an alternate drop dessert of either sticky date pudding or cheesecake. Certainly, none left hungry!

Unfortunately though, our friendly piper followed us inside and put a stop to all conversation for awhile. Finally, after playing Auld Lang Syne, he left...hopefully to find another mountain top even further away.

Other than the piper, who would have tried the patience of even the most ardent fan of bagpipes, the experience was a positive one with British décor and ambience adding to the experience.

Some of us took advantage of the perfect afternoon to enjoy a stroll along the Gallery Walk at Mt Tambourine and a quick visit to the little boutiques and coffee shops. Our Fox and Hounds outing was one we will not forget but perhaps next time, we will choose another month!

At our recent meeting, Clare Sparenburg from the Giving with Love Group gave a short talk about their organisation and the tremendous community support they receive. The main focus of their work is to provide Care Boxes for children entering foster care through the Department of Communities Child Protection Service. Over 100 boxes have been sent out so far this year. Each year, in June, each of our members donates a new towel to help fill these boxes.

Our guest speaker this month was Michael Beatty who spoke in his current role as Media Consultant and Spokesman for Queensland RSPCA. His vast journalistic experience in both writing and reporting for over 38 years contributed to an informative and at times entertaining insight into the organisation. It was surprising to learn that in excess of 40 000 animals a year are taken in by RSPCA and that they have over 5000 volunteers state-wide. With minimal government funding, they rely heavily on community support, a fact which was brought home to me by this informative presentation.

Are you looking for a social club for retired or semi-retired men and women? Are you looking for fun, fellowship and friendship? The Probus Club of Goodna-Springfield meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 1.30pm at Camira Friends and Neighbours Hall, Bruce Lane, Camira. If you would like to come along to a meeting or need more information, please phone Penny on 3818 7981 or email gsprobus08@outlook.com. Visitors are always welcome.

Originally forming in 2000 as a combined canoeing and rowing club in Centenary, the canoe club became independent from the rowing club, taking to the waters of Spring Lake in 2006.

The 14 members come from all over South-east Queensland and the club currently hold frequent â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;come and tryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sessions for local residents.

Club president, Peter Cooke, has been paddling since he was 13 when he began at the YMCA in Westlake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No experience is needed,â&#x20AC;? said Peter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it does help if you are willing to try new things, enjoy being on the water, can hold your breath and fit into the boat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ideal age to start is between eight and ten years old. We have kayaks, paddles and life vests for children and would love to see some young people join the club.â&#x20AC;?

Members meet fortnightly at Spring Lake on Sunday afternoons at 2pm during the winter and at 3pm in the summer time for canoe polo.

Recently, a number of members travelled to Auckland, competing in the World Masters Games in canoe polo, proudly coming away with a Gold medal.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in canoeing, you can contact Club president Peter Cooke for details on the next â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;come and tryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; session held locally. He can be contacted by calling 0412 194 717 or by sending an email to pcooke63@tpg.com.au.

Budget 2017/18 Recently Acting Mayor Paul Tully presented the 2017-18 budget. The budget is the result of much work by both officers and elected members. Just like a family budget, some projects can be delivered this year, and some will have to wait for future years. If you would like a budget summary or a copy of the budget please contact my office by calling 3818 3100 or send an email to div1office@ipswich.qld.gov.au.

Library Council is committed to delivering a library in Springfield Central. We are currently evaluating whether to build or lease.

Firestation 101 If you have a digital innovative idea and you require guidance to develop it, take time to visit Council’s digital hub called Firestation 101 located at the old Ipswich Firestation, 101 Limestone Street, Ipswich.

Brisbane Lions Due to the success of the AFL Women’s League (AFLW), it is possible Springfield Central could be home to the Brisbane Lions women’s team and an elite training venue for the men’s team. For this to become a reality there are still some major negotiations and agreements to be finalised.

My Ipswich Council does its best with the resources we have to maintain Ipswich City to a safe and desirable standard.

Update by Pat Quickfall

We had our Mystery Tour to Springfield Lakes and surrounding areas on 31st May. Vice President Bob Keogh liaised with our favourite Councillor, David Morrison, and David’s secretary Shannon for the best stops and things of note to visit.

With a full busload, we set off from our hall en route to Springfield, where the first stop was the Springfield Land Corporation offices where we heard of intended future plans for the suburb.

From the 10th floor of this interesting building, we viewed models of the different precincts as well as the progress of these plans.

We then took an intensive drive through the streets and the Brookwater area and stopped for lunch at the Orion Lagoon. The newly completed Aveo retirement complex was next where we viewed a display of a unit and had a tour of the complex.

As it was the State of Origin that night, our group had a couple of Blues supporters being Daphne Jeffries and Jan Roberts, who dressed in blue wigs and flags. They were out numbered by the Maroons so they copped a bit of flack.

Everyone enjoyed the tour and, as usual, there was plenty of fun and laughter.

It was our meeting day on 7th June with guest speakers from the Aveo retirement village, which is quite a unique new concept in seniors living. Aveo Springfield will be an inter-generation precinct featuring a vast array of living options and services in the heart of Greater Springfield Health City. We also enjoyed helping Jan celebrate her 80th birthday with cake and well wishes.

On the 14th June, we had a morning of Hoy with prizes to be won and a lovely morning tea. We enjoyed a bus trip to Government House on 21st June followed by lunch and then onto Wolston Park House. A great day out with beautiful weather.

On Wednesday 28th June we had our soup day which was much appreciated on such a cold morning. Anyone interested in joining our friendly group can ring me on 3818 9343.

Created and adapted by one of Australia’s leading contemporary theatre companies, this critically acclaimed adaptation of Bram Stoker’s 1897 horror-classic is every bit as tortured and charismatic as the novel.

Dracula tells the story of young lawyer Jonathan Harker as he visits Castle Dracula in the Carpathian Mountains.

Alone and trapped within the castle walls, Jonathan discovers that his host Dracula wants more than just his presence at the dinner table; he might also be the main course. Leaving Jonathan for dead and his castle behind Dracula travels to London on a quest for seduction, true love and above all blood.

Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only The Piano Player

Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only The Piano Player Thursday 10 August | 10.00 am All tickets $15.00 | Inc complimentary tea and coffee Pianist/comedian David Scheel specialises in making fun of music, both classical and not-so-classical. So much so that he is now regarded as arguably the finest musical humourist in the world, in particular thanks to his international hit show, Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only the Piano Player.

This is a hilarious send-up of classical music which has established this Australian pianist as the successor to the legendary Victor Borge. Beautiful music and musical fun performed in so many accents and voices that David has also been compared to the late Robin Williams and Peter Ustinov.

Hear a familiar tune played in the styles of the old masters and an iPod; two famous pieces played simultaneously, one with the right hand, one with the left, plus his ‘translation’ of the lyrics of Waltzing Matilda – already a comedy classic.

We’re Going On A Bear Hunt is the wonderful story of a family out for walk and on the lookout for a growling bear - they have to march through long swishy grass, wade through thick gloopy mud and even battle a snow storm before entering a big dark cave where maybe they will finally spot the glinty wet eyes of a slobbering, gigantic bear winking at them through the blackness. This 55 minute mini-musical captures the fun and frolics of a father who is clearly still a child at heart, his three children including a tiny intrepid bear hunter in the making - baby is strapped to dad’s back-pack plus the family dog and of course....a very big brown cuddly bear!

ROTARY CLUB of Greater Springfield

UPDATE BY Chris Steinback

Rotary International President John Germ and Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, announced a commitment of up to $450 million to support the eradication of polio.

To an audience of nearly 40,000 Rotary members attending the humanitarian organisation’s annual convention, Rotary and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation renewed their long-standing support to end polio – a paralysing, life-altering scourge on the verge of becoming the second human disease ever to be eliminated. Rotary committed to raise $50 million per year over the next three years, with every dollar to be matched with two additional dollars from the Gates Foundation.

This expanded agreement will translate into $450 million for polio eradication activities, including immunisation and surveillance over the next three years. This critical funding helps ensure countries around the world remain polio-free and that polio is ended in the remaining three endemic countries: Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan.

“In 2016, fewer children were paralysed by polio than ever before, thanks to the dedication of Rotary members and our partners,” said Mr Germ. “The paralysis of even one child by a preventable disease is unacceptable, and I’m proud to see our members redoubling their commitment to ensure we reach every single child with the polio vaccine.”

In 2013, the Gates Foundation pledged to match Rotary contributions two-to-one, up to $35 million per year through 2018. This has resulted in a combined donation of more than Image: Shutterstock.com $1.6 billion to polio eradication.

“The vision of eradicating polio began with Rotary, and its support of that effort has been unwavering for more than 35 years,” said Gates. “Rotary’s commitment to raise $150 million over the next three years to end polio forever is a testament to the compassion, generosity, and kindness of more than a million Rotarians around the world.”

World governments and other donors have pledged to contribute US$1.2 billion total to the GPEI for polio eradication efforts. The government funding will substantially help to close the US$1.5 billion funding gap, allowing partners to immunise 450 million children every year and support rigorous disease surveillance in both endemic and at-risk polio-free countries. While the government funding makes considerable headway in the fight to end polio, continued support from donors remains vital to achieve a polio-free world.

The global eradication of polio has been Rotary’s top priority since 1985. Through the Global Polio Eradication Initiative the incidence of polio has plummeted by more than 99.9 percent, from about 350,000 cases a year at the start of the initiative to just 37 cases in 2016.

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

THE CREATIVE heART

by Jolanta Szymczyk As ‘war on waste’, is becoming a hot topic across the chat rooms, social media and recent dinner parties, humans own hoarding habits, nurtured consumerism and addiction to a ‘fast’ lifestyle are at the core of the highlighted paradigm.

Globally, countries, governments and communities are embracing different approaches to combat the fast growing waste and landfill issue.

From smaller rubbish bins, to a total ban on plastics, buy-back bottle schemes, to shaking up the entire shopping experience by stripping away all sort of packaging and introducing products sold by weight only, there is a growing departure from individually plastic wrapped vegetables, fruits or plastic packaging sealed items. There are many ways community and individuals can make a difference on a daily basis before these arrive on our local doorsteps.

A wardrobe is a great place to start...do you ever keep unwanted items but have a hard time parting with them? Filled with hopes and aspiration that one day the body’s size might go down an inch or two or the seasonal sought after colours might come back, or perhaps items are kept merely for sentimental value - there are a myriad of reasons we hang onto clothes we no longer wear.

The challenge is, as with the slow food philosophy, to introduce the concept of slow or at least slower fashion. Where does it come from? How was it made? Is the fibre used a man-made or natural one? What is the lifespan of the materials used? Will it ever disintegrate? Stop for a second and ponder what can be done with once loved items filling the wardrobe right now. The good thing is, no previous experience is required to make this change!

The Australian Bureau of Statistics indicate 500,000 tonnes of leather and textiles are discarded each year, amounting to 23kg per person, and only a fraction of this is being recovered through charitable recycling.

Amongst natural fibres, wool is the most reused and recyclable fibre across the globe with the growing numbers of designers choosing to work with wool.

What’s interesting about the recycling of natural fibre products or leather, is that the material itself often has a second lease of life, often much longer than its first, original use. At least, if our purchasing decisions focus on natural fibres, we are minimising the longevity and severity of the impact in the first place. Picking up on some crafts and hand-made skills might result in unexpected joy of creation and design. Not only good for ones’ well-being but for the environment too.

Acting Mayor Paul Tully

You may have seen reports recently about the AFL and Brisbane Lions once again turning their gaze to Springfield Central as a possible location for a new Lions training facility and administration base.

This was talked about several years ago and is back on the radar following the recent success of the Brisbane Lions AFL Women’s side, which is currently lacking a suitable home ground.

In May, AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan met with the State Government to discuss the possibility of a boutique stadium at Springfield. Ipswich City Council is looking forward to a decision on this matter shortly and would welcome the Brisbane Lions and Brisbane Lions AFL Women to Ipswich with open arms.

I recently had the pleasure of touring the SRS Queensland confectionery factory at Augustine Heights.

SRS is one of Australia’s leading exporters supplying its products to New Zealand, South Pacific Islands and throughout South East Asia. It deals in all kinds of sweets, snack food and other grocery items.

It is the perfect example of a great Ipswich business that plays an important part in our local, state and national economy from its base at Augustine Heights.

The Vicinity Drive precinct, where SRS is located, will continue to grow in coming years with businesses in the precinct to provide important local jobs.

By the time this edition hits the streets, council will have handed down its 2017-2018 Budget. At time of print we were anticipating that this year’s budget will include the largest spend on infrastructure in Ipswich’s history with exciting projects planned across each of the city’s 10 divisions.

greater springfield VIEW club update The Greater Springfield VIEW ladies continue to have regular monthly meetings on the fourth Wednesday of the month, at Councillor David Morrison’s community meeting room at the corner of Commercial Drive and Woodcrest Way, Springfield. This month’s meeting was on Wednesday 28 June, where the current VIEW Resolution topics were discussed These topics can be found on the VIEW website - http://view. org.au and it is helpful to view them before each meeting, so that you can be part of the discussions. Remember the ‘V’ in VIEW is for Voice and this is your opportunity to have your say.

The next meeting will be on 26 July at Cr David Morrison’s community meeting room from 6.30pm. Please RSVP by 24 July by sending an email to reapps@bigpond.com.

The monthly coffee mornings led by Helen have been a real hit and it is great to have a casual catchup in between meetings.

The next coffee morning will be on Thursday 20 July at 10am at Brookwater Coffee Club, so please come along and join us.

Just a reminder, that it is not too late to organise your attendance at the VIEW National Convention in Tamworth from 15-17 September. This is a really fun time for our members and friends from Clubs around Australia to get together and enjoy VIEW friendship. There is a lot planned, so please go to http://view.org.au/events/national-convention/ for more information on the program over the three days and guest speakers involved.

a message from the desk of

MP

FEDER AL MEMBER FOR OXLE Y

Over the past month, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the pleasure of meeting and talking with many seniors and pensioners throughout our community.

Just last month, over 200 seniors and pensioners attended a seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forum with Jenny Macklin MP Shadow Minister for Families and Social Services at the Jindalee Bowls Club. We had experts on hand from Centrelink to update the audience with changes to superannuation and pensions and representatives from the Queensland Police Service with tips on how to keep your home safe.

This was a fantastic morning with lots of questions about how the Governments changes to the pension would affect those in the room.

With payments under threat particularly for new pensioners, I will keep fighting to see that we stand up for our local seniors who have worked hard their whole lives.

Following this, I was pleased to welcome Julie Collins MP the Shadow Minister for Ageing and Mental Health to our community.

Julie and I visited the new Aveo development in Springfield, which upon completion will be the biggest retirement community in Australia and produce 5000 jobs over the lifetime of development and construction.

We also had the pleasure of visiting Wesley Mission at Sinnamon Park to speak with staff and residents. I was proud to stand alongside Julie and honour local resident Pat Passfield with a certificate of recognition and a donation towards his tireless efforts to raise money for charities. Pat is a virtual walker, who from the treadmill in his room has walked all over Australia.

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

First gym in Springfield Maximum Effort Gym, known to locals as ME, was the first gym opened in Springfield in 2005.

ME has given much back to the community and they continue to help sponsor many local community events. In 2005 I had the pleasure of officially opening ME. Recently I also helped ME celebrate its one millionth work out. Congratulations to Darren and Sue Kelly helping many in the greater Springfield Community keep fit and strong. Many lifelong friendships have commenced at ME. ME is helping transform individuals and our community.

We held a very successful ‘Trees for Mum’ event on Mother’s Day with 68 people attending to plant trees in Promenade Park along with former Mayor Paul Pisasale, Cr Morrison and Cr Ireland and Milton Dick MP. To help promote World Environment Day on June 5th, we encouraged the community to do an eco-friendly walk around the suburb and pick up any plastic litter such as bags, bottles and food packaging. These items wash into our drains and into our lakes and waterways before finding their way out into the ocean where they harm animals such as turtles and seabirds, as well as being an eyesore both here and on beaches.

I attended Springfield Central School and Hymba Yumba School and presented my new book ‘Turtle Needs Help’ to the school library and gave a short talk on how children can help save our endangered loggerhead turtles simply by putting plastic bags, straws, chip packets and balloons into the bin.

We are recording the sightings of the Common (Indian) Myna bird in our suburb and would like residents to help us record any sightings of this bird on the Feral Scan website www.feralscan. org.au/mynascan/. The site is free to use and you only need to record amount of birds sighted, the location and the date.

This bird is chocolate brown, has a black head, yellow beak and legs and with large white patches on their black tipped wings. It is very different to our native Noisy Miner which is grey and black. Mynas were introduced in Townsville in 1860 to eat cane beetles and more recently in Toowoomba. In 2000, the World Conservation Union listed the Common Myna among the world’s worst invasive species.

In Australia, they threaten native biodiversity as they are very territorial nesters and will drive away other animals and birds from their nesting sites. Unfortunately these birds are prolific breeders, laying four clutches of eggs up to five times per year in the breeding season from September to March, whereas our native birds lays only two to three eggs.

They are also voracious eaters and will out-compete our native wildlife for food and are known to eat the fledglings on small birds. When numbers become high, our smaller birds, such as superb fairy wrens and pee wees disappear from our suburbs because they can’t get enough food to eat.

National Tree Day is on Sunday 30th July, and is an opportunity to reconnect with nature and do something positive for your local environment and community. National Tree Day started in 1996 and since then, more than 3.8 million people have planted 23 million trees and plants. It has become Australia’s largest community tree-planting and nature care event.

To commemorate National Tree Day, we will be planting some trees in Riverine Terrace, Springfield Lakes, with the support of Ipswich City Council and a local Scout group on Saturday July 29th. Schools can get involved in National School Tree Day on Friday 28th July.

If anyone would like to join our Group, membership is free and meetings are every first Tuesday of the month at 6.30pm at Cr Irelands Meeting Room, Suite 2, Level 2, Main Street, Orion Town Centre. You can follow us on www.facebook.com/SpringfieldLakesNatureCare
