Keeping safe in Mawson Lakes

Theft from vehicles is on the rise in Mawson Lakes, according to Christine Bettess, SAPOL Manager of Crime Prevention, but she advises that this is one of the most preventable crimes.

“Remove valuables and electronic devices from your car, they are a magnet for thieves,” she said.

At ML we have a Safe Community Network where residents, representatives from police, the university, council, schools and businesses meet regularly to discuss safety issues. The network is keen to establish safe places in homes and businesses through the Safety Assist Program. Read about it on page 26.

There are many things you can do to keep your home and family safe, especially as the holiday season approaches. David Morris from Nexus Security in ML says that new technology is being developed all the time, from cameras that can be viewed on your phone anywhere in the world, to outdoor sensors that detect potential intruders before they break in.

Mawson Lakes Living is an independently owned community magazine and website for people who live, work, study and play in Mawson Lakes. Advertising is open to any organisation with products, services or events relevant to the people of Mawson Lakes.

We heard good news from Council recently that work on the long-awaited pedestrian paths under the railway interchange and Salisbury Highway will begin early next year. This will link the Sanctuary, Shoalhaven and the original estate and create safer access for pedestrians, cyclists and joggers. Go inside to read the latest developments.

Daylight robbery - I am a resident in Ibis St Mawson Lakes and we have been experiencing break-ins in our street. My neighbour’s house was broken into on a Tuesday and again on a Saturday. My house was broken into on Wednesday and everything of value was taken. The thieves smashed my front window and got into the house between 10:30am and 3pm so this is happening during daylight. I write to residents to be aware and to have enough security.

Coot courage - Thank you to the APG team for protecting the nest of Eurasian Coots at The Bridges whilst chopping down reeds. Residents are watching the family emerge and the 6 chicks are doing well. The male bird looks for food and couragously shoos away predators, while mother bird has made a slippery slide out of reeds so the chicks can reach the water. Beautiful to watch.

Residential parking zones - Parking in The Strand and surrounding streets is becoming impossible. These are residential streets, yet workers and patrons from nearby commercial premises and construction sites, park here all day making it impossible for residents and their visitors to park outside their homes. Home owners are not happy. It’s time for Council to introduce residential parking zones in ML. If this is a concern to you, ring Salisbury Council and let them know.

We flew into Parafield on a business trip and picked up a copy of Mawson Lakes Living at the airport so decided to explore ML instead of staying in the city. We booked into the accommodation advertised in the magazine and had dinner at one of the restaurants that was reviewed. In the morning we went for a walk then bought presents from a gift shop in Light Common that we saw in the booklet. What a friendly suburb and such an informative community magazine. From now on when we come to Adelaide we’ll stay at Mawson Lakes.

Bogus callers - Bogus door knockers are targetting homeowners in ML. They may claim to be from the council, the police or a utilities company. They ususaly work in pairs and ask to come in to use the bathroom, get a drink of water or use your phone. One will distract you while the other steals your bag/belongings. Do not let unknown people inside, direct strangers to public toilets, keep the screen door locked and check caller identity. Elderly people and children are particularly vulnerable.

Keeping thieves out

Thieves are becoming more brazen, and residents who have experienced criminal attacks in Mawson Lakes are stunned that thieves have smashed windows and robbed them in broad daylight.

David Morris from Nexus Security at Mawson Lakes says that thieves drive around looking for opportunities.

“If you have an alarm system installed, use it,” said David. “Most intruders will leave a house very quickly once an alarm has been activated.”

“Keep that siren box outside looking new and have warning stickers on the windows. Criminals look for houses without alarms, or poorly maintained alarms that they know probably won’t work.”

Different security options are available. These include locks, roller shutters, screen doors, cameras, fences, gates and alarm systems. If you feel unsafe you can get an alarm system with panic and duress

Several security providers are available in Mawson Lakes and you can talk to them about the best options for your place. (See below and opposite). David Morris said that new technology is being developed all the time to detect potential intruders before they break into your home.

Senior Sergeant Chris Bettess, Manager of Crime Prevention, reports that in recent months trailers, tools, wallets, bicycles, play stations, computers, and even a hot water unit, have been stolen from properties and cars in Mawson Lakes.

Public art that enriches our community

The value of public art to the community is priceless and only appreciates with time. It tells our story, energizes our thinking and promotes conversation and interaction. It helps develop a sense of community.

At Mawson Lakes we are privileged to have many pieces of outdoor art by some of Australia’s finest artists.

Each month Living will put the spotlight on a different outdoor artwork that we can see as we go about our daily lives. It will tell where to find it, who did it and what it stands for.

Fence Mural at Mawson Lakes School

As part of the design of the first stage of the Mawson Lakes School, Leslie Matthews, a South Australian artist, was engaged in 2004 to design an iconic fence mural around an environmental theme.

It was decided to work with a group of 5-year-olds in Reception to depict animals from the adjacent Dry Creek.

The artist and the students explored the creek and located creatures that use it as their habitat. Hence the animal drawings on the mural at the entrace to the school (pictured).

Once the students had identified their creatures they worked with Leslie to accurately draw the animals to particular dimensions to match the fence panels. The drawings were then transferred

onto metal templates for the cut-out process. The project took 3 months to complete and a number of students visited the workshop to see their creatures being cut out, powder coated and dried.

There is a plaque in the pavers near the entrance to the school office. Ed

New technology for Seniors Card

If you have a Seniors Card you can travel for free on public transport between the hours of 9am and 3pm Monday to Friday and anytime on weekends or public holidays.

Seniors cards will soon change over to new smartcard technology that will be used on all Adelaide metrocard public transport ticketing systems. New cards will be sent in the mail with instructions.

To access the new technology go to any metrocard recharge agent, such as a newsagency, and load credit ($) onto your card. You can also do this on board trains and over the telephone. When boarding, you simply scan your seniors card at the ticket machine and it will show the balance left on the card. Once the smartcard system is fully implemented, the old seniors card and the old green magnetic tickets will no longer work on public transport. Ed.

Planetarium brings stars and planets to Mawson Lakes

Enthusiasm for cosmic space is contagious when you talk to storyteller Martin Lewicki (pictured) who loves to take people to the moon and back, and on the way visit the stars and planets.

Martin is the popular astronomy educator at the Adelaide Planetarium at Mawson Lakes.

On his cosmic journey he explains why we get day and night, the phases of the moon and the activity of NASA’s Curiosity Rover taking place on Mars at present. Into his stories he weaves mythology, sky lore and humour as he reveals the ever changing magic of the heavens and its influence on mankind through the ages.

“My aim is to make the study of cosmic space captivating so that people go away with a new understanding of the sky they see every day and every night,“ he said.

He does this in a most comfortable way in the air-conditioned planetarium which is a dark, circular room with specially designed reclining

chairs. A projector lights up the 8 metre domed ceiling which acts as a giant screen to display 5,000 stars, the sun, the moon and the planets.

The planetarium is open for school groups and for public presentations, and it is also a venue for hire. “We’ve hosted creative birthday parties, engagement parties, romantic anniversaries for a twosome, and

Young entrepreneurs

Reviving the ancient art of magic

Four young entrepreneurs from Mawson Lakes are reviving the ancient art of magic and using a modern form in corporate workshops and youth training programs to motivate people towards more positive behaviour.

Lenny, Vinh, Jeffrey and Travis have been so successful in developing their start-up business called Encyclopedia of Magic that they were selected into the South Australian Young Entrepreneurs Scheme run by Business SA. They have set up their business at Innovation House in Technology Park. “People have short attention spans so we use magic and card tricks to engage our audience, which may be anyone from corporate executives to disengaged youth,” said Vinh who has an accounting degree from Adelaide University. “The secret to opening minds is to generate engagement and anticipation. From there we talk to our audience about perceptions, the power of focus, problem solving, positive behaviour and the notion that anything is possible.”

Vinh says that magic is about exploring the human mind. “I study the mind constantly because behind every magic trick is a deep psychology. The more we understand how the mind works the more we can shape it, twist it and play with it,” he said.

Business partners Lenny and Jeffrey are hospital pharmacists who dispense

medicine in their day jobs, but they describe magic as medicine that tastes good. “It’s healing because it makes you laugh and engage your mind,” said Jeffrey. Ed.

Encyclopedia of Magic runs courses in magic and online card tricks. To learn more go to www.encyclopediaofmagic.com.au

Grace has just returned f rom a school study trip to Germany. She looks at the similarities and differences between German and Australian students.

Growing up, young people are often heavily influenced by culture and life experiences which help define their values and who they are. However, as I recently discovered during a school study tour of Germany, there are many aspects in the lives of young people that remain the same regardless of culture, language or geographical location.

I was lucky enough to spend a few days in a high school while in the country town, Neuendettelsau in Bavaria. Despite school beginning at eight o’clock and finishing at one, the typical day of a German teenager closely resembles that of an Australian student. School and lessons such as; French, Maths, English and Science take up the morning, while afternoons and weekends are mostly spent socialising with friends, attending parties or completing homework.

Although at times I struggled to understand the German language, I was able to connect with my fellow students through the mutual understanding of teenage life and social expectations. Just as in schools here in Australia, there were many different friendship groups, each comprised of different and unique personalities. There were those who enjoyed school and worked hard, others who preferred to sit in the back and socialise during lessons, while others liked wearing black and blasting punk and heavy metal from their iPods.

Although there are many differences in culture and lifestyle throughout the world, I believe that similar involvements in friendships and school and struggles with forming identity are what make the teenage experience so universal.

Underpasses to link Mawson Lakes

Walkers, cyclists and pedestrians are looking forward to underpasses that will link the subdivisions of Mawson Lakes.

The underpasses are to be constructed under Salisbury Highway (linking Shoalhaven with The Sanctuary) and under the railway interchange (linking Shoalhaven with the Original Estate). Salisbury Council has announced they are working with the Department of Transport to build an underpass beneath the railway interchange which they hope to begin early next year.

Janis Gray who is a resident of Shoalhaven said it’s scary to see adults and children racing across the railway line that divides the eastern and western subdivisions of Mawson Lakes.

“Without an underpass we feel isolated from the interchange and the commercial area,” she said. “It takes an hour for us to walk from our house to the newsagency and back just to buy a newspaper. If we had a pedestrian underpass I would walk with my trolley to the shops.”

Christine Hillier who organises the Mawson Lakes Heart Foundation Walking Group said that underpasses along Dry Creek will open up a safe linear pathway off the main roads for all to enjoy.

The underpasses are part of a network of trails that will eventuallly allow walkers and cyclists to travel all the way to Salisbury town centre. Ed.

Which Martial Art for You?

David Dempsey AikidoSA

People ask which Martial Art they should do. Some prefer a single traditional art, others to learn a variety of styles at one school. I encourage you to think about your reasons to learn, then visit a club to gauge the vibe and watch. If your aim is to be quickly competent at self-defence, a short course may be appropriate immediately, but competence needs practice to enable you to act confidently.

Some prefer arts based on punching and kicking, others prefer “Ju” or blending arts like Ju-jitsu, Judo or Aikido. Some Japanese arts have –jitsu (combative) or –do (a path or way of living) variants. Aikido (meaning Path of Energy Harmony) develops health, strength, stamina and flexibility while balancing our emotions (and learning defence!).

Each art has a distinguishing focus, as well as features in common (centre balance, posture, technique, power, timing). Aikido’s unique feature is that it minimises violence during an effective response. It allows for a graded answer to most threats – from avoiding, through deflection, to harsh throws and pins which can damage if essential. In the modern world, minimising legal consequences is important, even when defending yourself. Women, men and children can train together, experienced and beginners too.

If curious, join us at the Mawson Lakes Dojo on Mon and Wed 5:30 to 8:00 pm in the Denison Centre. First session is free! Call (08)7389-5991 or 0427-245-436 for details.

New Business: Carolyn O’Brien Retirement Housing

When it comes to retirement, everybody hopes for a smooth transition from their existing home to retirement living, but without good advice it can be a complex minefield.

Mawson Lakes resident Carolyn O’Brien has significant experience within the retirement industry and she sees a need for independent advice for people and their loved ones who wish to downsize and settle into a comfortable new lifestyle.

“There are many complex issues to consider when planning retirement, including different financial models, binding legal contracts, storing belongings, finding the right home in the right location, ongoing social and recreational needs and styling a new house to suit your personality,” she said.

Carolyn has set up her business as a freelance consultant and she will come to you, or you can visit her at her office at 29 Main Street, Mawson Lakes.

Presently she is busy establishing strategic alliances with other professionals in the local area and has already been engaged as an independent consultant by Century 21 at Mawson Lakes who recognise that retirement housing is a growing market sector.

Carolyn says that selling and buying real estate is a vital part of the transition to independent living, and professional advice can save a lot of time and money.

“The retirement industry is very competitive so if you know how to navigate your way through the maze you can negotiate some very good deals,” said Carolyn, who will act as your advocate in negotiations and refer you to specialist services if needed. Ed.

Carolyn’s contact is 0418 828 494

Safe places in Mawson Lakes

If you find yourself with any sort of problem where you could use some help, look for Safety Assist locations in Mawson Lakes. You might be lost, injured, sick or frightened or need emergency services.

Safety Assist is a voluntary network of approved residences, offices and shops that display the Safety Assist signs which can be seen on letterboxes or near the entrance to a Safety Assist business or institution.

Occupants of Safety Assist locations have undergone police checks before being issued with their signs. These community volunteers will contact police, parents or carers, the ambulance, animal welfare or any other agencies the situation may require.

Safety Assist volunteer Sharon Blair at 143 Shoalhaven Circuit said the most unusual assistance she has ever given was when a motor cyclist knocked on her door with an injured hawk. “I was able to use my first aid skills to help the bird and then call animal welfare,” she said.

Would you offer assistance to a distressed person who came to your home? Being a member of the Safety Assist program asks no more than that. You don’t need to be home all the time and you don’t bring strangers into your home. Usually only a single phone call is required to get appropriate assistance.

Safety Assist is a national program coordinated by Safe Communities Australia and is an important element in community safety and security.

If you wish to be a Safety Assist location in ML, contact 8373 0818 for an application form or pick up a brochure at the Community Centre.

Dental on Metro THE SMILE PROFESSIONALS

Why have a Dental Checkup?

The idea behind regular dental checkups is that if dental cavities arise, they can be treated while they are small.

This isn’t just good for your dental health. This actually makes a lot of economic sense!

Fixing a cavity when it is small will probably cost less in most cases than having the tooth removed when the tooth becomes hopeless.

Furthermore a cavity that has been allowed to grow over time until it is deep into the tooth structure can lead to a painful infected nerve. Teeth can usually still be kept in this situation, however not only will you need the original (albeit much larger) filling, but you will also need a treatment called Root Canal Therapy. Consider the additional inconvenience of an extra three visits with the attendant expense.

The fact of the matter is that Dental Checkups are cost effective – they give you your own time and money back, reducing pain and days required off of work, and ultimately checkups help to keep more of your teeth in your mouth where they belong.

At Dental on Metro we are making it even easier to have a Dental Checkup! For all clients with private health insurance we are now extending our Gap Free Check and Clean Offer**.

Wet Dog Shake by Nigella

When dogs comes out of water they shake vigorously and share massive quantities of water with everyone in the immediate vicinity. I’ve noticed it’s a generosity of spirit not appreciated by humans at close range.

A recent study took a scientific look at this involuntary behaviour. Dogs that are wet suffer the risk of hypothermia, so water removal is essential. Animals who remain wet can use 20 percent of their daily energy staying warm and generating the heat necessary for evaporation. A vigorous shake will efficiently remove excess water so we dry faster, suffer less risk from the cold and save energy. We can remove 70 percent of the water from our fur with just a few seconds of shaking.

I like a good shake myself, but whenever I have a bath and Mummy plucks my bedraggled body out the tub, she curiously runs away.

Mummy uses the garden hose to give me a bath and I don’t like it at all, however, these photos from daddy, recently in Italy, shows a much more civilised way to have a bath. He sent me an email saying . . .

Pet Nanny

I have been overseas, I apologise if you have been unable to contact me. I have now returned, please CALL

“Nigella, you would love it here. Dogs are part of the European lifestyle and they have the same access to facilities as their owners. There is a steady parade of dogs taking their owners for a walk up and down the main street and dogs are invited into restaurants with their owners. When you need a special fur-do for a big occasion you go to the Splendy Dog Parlour for a bubble bath and a blow dry. It’s right in the centre of town. The pictures on the street billboards invite dogs in for a luxurious afternoon of relaxation and refreshment.” Love Dad.

RECIPE - Egg In The Middle Meatloaf

I bumped into Margaret Hill and Maddison (pictured) going to the supermarket to buy ingredients for their favourite meatloaf. It sounded so simple to make that I jotted down the recipe and made it for dinner myself. The unusual combination of flavours gives this meatloaf a tangy sweet and sour taste. Here is Margaret’s recipe.

Ingredients:

3 hard boiled eggs shells removed.

Glaze

1/4 cup tomato sauce

1/4 cup chutney

1 tablespoon brown sugar

2 tablespoons sultanas

Meatloaf

600gm mince steak

1 onion minced

Capsicum and grated carrot to taste

1 cup breadcrumbs

2 raw eggs lightly beaten to bind the mixture

Beef stock for flavouring

To make:

1 Mix the ingredient for the glaze and spread over base of a loaf dish.

2 Mix ingredients for the meatloaf. Divide mixture in half and put half in the dish on top of glaze.

3 Press down the middle to form a gully and place the eggs longways in the meat.

4 Place the rest of the meat mixture over the top and push down to compact. Be sure to cover the eggs and fill any spaces between them.

5 Bake in a moderate oven approx 40 mins. Let rest for 10 mins.

6 Turn out onto a plate so the glaze runs over the meatloaf. Cut into 1cm slices to reveal the eggs.

Pet Care with Dr Brendan

Stings and other nasty things

The wet winter and spring were a gardener’s delight but this translates to a bonanza season for bees. We have already seen lots of bee stings, as well as a few suspected spider and ant bites (they don’t leave a sting behind, so it’s harder to be sure).

If your pet is stung, you will usually see a combination of pain and swelling around the sting. Occasionally we see more violent reactions such as collapse, vomiting or diarrhoea. In any case, you should visit the vet for assessment. As a first aid remedy, ice is useful (especially in the mouth, dogs will happily chomp ice cubes), along with scraping out the sting (don’t squeeze it!) if you can see it. Some dogs also show a later “urticarial” (nettle-rash) reaction, where the skin stands out in small blebs. This is not usually itchy, and can be reduced or prevented with anti-inflammatory treatment.

See you next month!

By the Plate and by the Bottle

Each month Living wine consultant David Garrick and editor Linda Vining write about good food and good wine that is easily accessible to the people of Mawson Lakes.

The Adelaide Hills has the ideal climate to produce high quality Sauvignon Blanc. The high altitude combines brilliantly with the favourable climate to allow grapes to mature more slowly than other regions, thus creating wines with intense elegant flavours and characteristics. This month’s wine is a good example.

Chain of Ponds 2012 ‘Black Thursday’

Sauvignon Blanc

Firstly, why the name? In 1991 this lovely little vineyard stopped a bushfire on Black Thursday, and helped the CFS save the township of Gumeracha. Good enough reason to raise a glass or two.

The little gem has an elegant passionfruit, apple blossom bouquet with hints of split peas and fresh cucumber. On the palate the extent

8266 1040

of the wine comes to life, showing this varietal is ideal for our Australian climate. It is bursting with tropical fruits - guava, paw paw and honey dew melon balanced seamlessly with notes of passionfruit and split pea.

The wine with its rounded tropical fruit palate is supported by a tight citrus acidity that gives a zesty, crisp finish creating a wine that is best enjoyed in its youth. Ideal for any in or outdoors activity this summer.

White Pizza

I’d never heard of a White Pizza so when I saw it on the menu at Lakeside Cafe at Oakden I had to give it a try, and what a treat it was, covered in white cheeses, bocconcini, onion, canadian bacon and basil. Lakeside Cafe is a gem of a place in a picturesque setting overlooking a lake surrounded by trees, not far from Mawson Lakes. It is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner from 9am to 9pm.

The menu is extensive with something for every palate. My neighbour had prawn and mango salad served with a generous helping of lightly grilled prawns. Delicious.

Best of all we were able to sit on the weatherprotected veranda and have our dogs beside us. A buzzing crowd was testimony to the quality of this charming eatery. Definitely worth a visit. Ed.

What plant is that? Strelitzia or Bird of Paradise

The Bird of Paradise is a spectacular evergreen plant with uniquely shaped orange and blue flowers that resemble a bird’s head, hence the name Bird-of-Paradise. The warmer the climate the more the flowers bloom. Strelitzia forms great clumps of over a meter wide and up to 2 meters high. They flower best in clumps.

This is one of nature’s toughest plants and will grow in full sun or semi shade. They are ideal to plant in dry conditions but they will also grow in moist well-drained acidic conditions. They respond well to regular feeding and a seasonal top dressing with a compost high in nitrogen.

Bird of Paradise provides bulk and mass to your garden. Use in shrub borders and in planting islands and containers. Makes a showy and non-messy plant next to the pool. A potted specimen is a nice gift as a feature plant for the home or office. The flowers are long-lasting and widely used in flower arrangements. Ed.

Read, Set, Shoot!

The first outing of the newly formed Mawson Lakes Photography Club (MLPC) is a photo walk on Sunday, 25 November. Club coordinator Andreas Kiermeier said you will have an opportunity to get help with technical aspects of photography, learn to develop your creativity, meet like-minded “photogs,” and have fun.

There is no need to book and you can bring the whole family. After the walk the group will have morning tea at a local coffee shop.

The new club is for anyone who likes taking photos, no matter what your skill level.

“If you would like to improve your photography skills or experiment with your camera, such as light painting (see photo above) you will receive help,” said Andreas.

“It doesn’t matter what camera you use (including camera phones) or what age you are. My boys, aged 5 and 8, both love photography.”

The photo walk will meet at 9am at the Denison Centre and walk through Mawson Lakes, taking photos of the ordinary and the extra-ordinary.

Step into Life Mawson Lakes turns 5!!

You may have seen us running around the streets of Mawson Lakes or slogging it out on Mobara Park, you may have seen the Step into Life ute driving around or one of our fliers in the mailbox – so why haven’t you come and tried us yet?

All the Step into Life classes are structured so that we can have people from all fitness levels working together so that nobody gets left behind and nobody has to slow down – you work at your level and there is never any pressure from anyone in the group to do more than what you are capable of, in fact, you are more likely to get encouragement along the way!

We have been operating from Mobara Park now since Monday September 17th 2007 and nearly 500 people have come and worked out with Step into Life in that time! Local residents just like you, men & women all from varying backgrounds, sizes, shapes and fitness levels.

We were awarded Fitness Australia’s People’s Choice Award in 2009 and a Finalist in the Personal Training business of the year in 2010. A big reason for this is the environment we have created at Step into Life. Everyone of our members are welcoming and friendly and love new people to train with.

We have many members now who have been with us for 3 to 4 years and one original member Claire who has been here since week 2 of operation! There are many reasons why people stay for as long as they do from getting the results they want, the support of a Personal Trainer, a proven fitness program or simply for the social side of what we offer.

If you have seen us around but have been too shy or nervous to contact us then now is the time! Why not start on your road to great health & fitness today? You might make a few new friends on the way or maybe even just get a little bit fit and even have a bit of fun and a laugh to!!

You are capable of doing this as I have seen some of my current members progress over the past 18-months to 3 years going from struggling to complete a lap of the lake to running their first half marathon (21.1km) in August this year!! There is never any pressure on you to do this but you may find you will achieve things you may not currently think possible.

It’s now time for you to come out and experience Step into Life Mawson Lakes and get yourself on the road to good health & fitness.

A Second Chance

Young actor Emily Morris from Mawson Lakes (pictured front) is a lead star in the new family movie A Second Chance that premiers in Adelaide this month.

The feature film shot on location in Adelaide, is about a young girl who quits gymnastics after a tragic accident. Fifteen years later she is drawn back to the sport as a coach with a chance for her students to enter the national gymnastics squad.

Emily (14), who plays Maddie, said it’s a story about forgiving and moving on. “It’s a film to inspire young people and show them that everyone can have a second chance.”

Emily’s sister Caitlin (11) is also in the movie as an extra.

Emily’s acting was acclaimed at the International Family Film Festival where she came second in the BEST CHILD ACTOR category.

The Adelaide premier of A Second Chance will be at the Capri Theatre, Goodwood Road, Goodwood on Sunday 11 November. For further information go to www.asecondchance.tv

Car Navigation

I have a little SatNav

It sits there in my car

A SatNav is a driver’s friend

It tells you where you are.

I have a little SatNav

I’ve had it all my life

It’s better than the normal ones

My SatNav is my wife!

It gives me full instructions

Especially how to drive

“It’s sixty km an hour”, it says “You’re doing sixty five”.

It tells me when to stop and start

And when to use the brake

And tells me that it’s never ever

Safe to overtake.

It tells me when a light is red

And when it goes to green

It seems to know instinctively

Just when to intervene.

It lists the vehicles just in front

And all those to the rear

And taking this into account

It specifies my gear.

I’m sure no other driver

Has so helpful a device

For when we leave and lock the car

It still gives its advice.

It fills me up with counselling

Each journey’s pretty fraught

So why don’t I exchange it

And get a quieter sort?

Ah well, you see, it cleans the house

Makes sure I’m properly fed

It washes all my shirts and things

And keeps me warm in bed!

Despite all these advantages

And my tendency to scoff

I do wish that once in a while

I could turn the damned thing off!

Termites are on the move and November is one of their most active times.

All homes need to have an annual termite inspection, even new homes and if your home is 5 or more years old it may no longer be protected by the chemical treatment that was done pre construction. Manufactures of termite protection products all state that an annual termite inspection needs to be carried out by a licenced timber pest inspector so don’t delay in making sure that your home is still protected against Termites.

Door to door sales

Last month the person knocking on my door was selling pizza deals, followed by a salesman spruiking video rentals. After him came a foursome urging me to attend a religious conference and then two men trying to sell savings on electricity.

Mawson Lakes is a target for door-to-door sales because we are a well-todo suburb, with closely spaced houses making it easy for the sales agent to cover a lot of territory in a short time. And, many residents are at home during the day. To deal with this battering of interruptions you need to know your rights.

According to the Australia Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) a sales agent who comes to your door must:

 not visit on Saturdays, Sundays or public holiday before 9am or after 5pm without permission.

 show their company card with their identity and say the contact details of the company they represent and why they are at your door.

 tell you about your right to cancel the contract if you change your mind.

 allow a 10 day cooling off period if you change your mind.

 leave immediately if asked to do so and not return for 30 days.

For more information or to make a complaint call ACCC on 8213 3444 Ed.

New community coordinator appointed

Claudine Spinner has been appointed by the City of Salisbury as the new Community Development Coordinator for Mawson Lakes. You will find her in The Mawson Centre.

With a background in human resources, a degree in Business Studies and a Master of Business Administration, Claudine is eager to develop local community networks. She comes from Melbourne where she was the manager of a community centre.

Claudine says that a strong community has holistic benefits. “When people know and understand each other and look out for each other it reduces crime, adds to the economy and makes for a happy place to live and work.”

Her role involves facilitating vocational opportunities by providing pathways to further education, assisting the long term unemployed and offering job readiness and skills courses. Another enjoyable aspect is ensuring social wellbeing by connecting different groups within the community, for example, mothers with young children and different cultural groups. She will do this by providing information, facilities for meetings, and organising community events such as festivals, displays, holiday programs and craft and art workshops that bring people together. One of Claudine’s first community events is a Christmas Market at The Mawson Centre on Sat 8 December. All community groups and local businesses are invited to apply for a display table. Contact Claudine on 8203 5449 or cspinner@salisbury.sa.gov.au

Make a string telephone

What you’ll need:

 2 paper cups

 A sharp pencil to help poke holes

 String (kite string or fishing line works well)

Instructions:

1. Cut a long piece of string, you can experiment with different lengths but perhaps 20 metres is a good place to start.

2. Poke a small hole in the bottom of each cup.

3. Thread the string through each cup and tie knots at each end to stop it pulling through the cup (or you can use a paper clip to hold the string in place).

4. Move into position with you and a friend holding the cups at a distance that makes the string tight (making sure the string isn’t touching anything else).

from http://www.sciencekids.co.nz

5. One person talks into the cup while the other puts the cup to their ear and listens, can you hear each other?
