CONTENTS Featuree

Mabel Park State High SchoolIf statistics are anything to go by then the

results from Mabel Park are extraordinary. In 2011, 100% of students received their QTAC offers for their tertiary studies; and 97% of students achieved their Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE), Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualification or a School-based Apprenticeship or Traineeship (SAT).

But these numbers are made all the more compelling when you realise the passion, hard work and determination from both students and teachers that went toward the achievements.

Part of the success can be attributed to the school’s participation in the Beacon Foundation

These students have the added bonus of innovative programs and dedicated teachers who take an intense interest in their learning and

development. Teachers like Judy Fewtrell, Senior Schooling Head of Department and school coordinator of the Beacon Foundation program at Mabel Park State High School, and Dr Lewes Peddell, the director of the arts academy at Canterbury College at Waterford, encourage and motivate their students that their hard work and dedication to their studies will lead to success.

programs that support young people to develop a positive pathway focus. By harnessing community, business and industry involvement, the programs work within schools to ensure young people are either earning or learning at vulnerable transition points in their lives.

Teachers like Judy Fewtrell, Senior Schooling Head of Department and recent inductee into the Beacon Foundation Hall of Fame have a commitment to helping their students leave school with a meaningful qualification.

Signing the Beacon charterRecently the year 10 students participated in

Beacon’s signature event where they publicly made a pledge that by the following year they will

Logan is certainly blessed with teens with talent, whether it’s music, sport or academic achievements students at two of Logan’s great schools are showing inspirational commitment to their futures, writes Wendy Johnson.

be in further education, employment or training. Members of local, state and commonwealth government, Beacon corporate partners and local business and community members and parents attended the charter signing to show their support for the students.

Each year a number of students are chosen as Beacon Ambassadors as important representatives of the school for the year 10 career program. Their role is to promote Beacon to their fellow students, develop relationships with industry representatives and undertake tasks associated to the daily running of the program.

All year 10 students are able to experience first-hand interviews, industry experience and build

networks with local businesses in our community. By doing so the program encourages students to develop leadership, teamwork, presentation and communication skills which they can take into their senior studies or part-time jobs.

Let’s meet a few of the Mabel Park Beacon Ambassadors —

Dilsad Kizilgul is a determined year 10 student who says she is aiming towards becoming a neuro-surgeon. “I’ve always been interested in being a surgeon but not sure of the field I wanted to go into. We had a competition and I passed with flying colours and I got into the next round and it was neuroscience. I like hard work and accomplishment. As a Beacon Ambassador I wanted to learn how to talk to business people and have confidence. Signing the charter means I’ve promised to do the work and I will.”

To Macauley Little being a Beacon Ambassador means he will get to help out with the activities for year 10 students. “I’m aiming to go into tourism or performing arts.”

Donalyn McCarthy says that they get opportunities to run events at the school and meet people in business. “When I leave school I want to be a doctor or a nurse.”

For Ayesha Shankar signing the pledge has great meaning. “You get a lot of opportunities. I felt great when I signed the pledge, it’s a commitment. It will be easy to commit to but hard work to achieve. I’d like to go into business or science when I finish school.”

Tiarna Herrero says being an Ambassador was about learning to become a leader. “I was pleased and surprised to be chosen to be an Ambassador. It’s quite a commitment, but you’re setting goals for your

Inspiring students to achieve their highest musical standards and to reach their full potential as developing musicians is the aim of the Canterbury College music program. Its leader Dr Lewes Peddell, can be justifiably proud of their achievements this year.

“We’re interested in getting students out into the community for performance experience but also to let the community know that we have some really talented kids,” says Dr Peddell.

Dr Peddell says that the old saying that you learn so much from rehearsals is only part of the picture and that students do learn a lot of skills form the actual performance. “There is so much you can learn from a performance that you simply cannot learn from rehearsal so the more performance

savvy and the more experience they get, the better they are.”

Canterbury’s talented group of students recently entered the Queensland MusicFest competition held at Iona College. Among an elite group of school symphony orchestras, the 40 piece Symphony Orchestra took the opportunity to use the competition as a performance opportunity rather than simply a competition. And it paid off — they scored the highest accolade in winning the Platinum award.

Let’s meet three of these remarkable young musicians –

Year 11 student Alanah Bebendorf has played the cello since grade 3. “I started out playing the violin but it ended up

being too small and dainty for me so I thought the cello was a better option and I just love the sound,” she says.

The symphony orchestra combines the school band and the strings and the members are from Grade 4 AMEB up. Alanah says that’s good because they do play a quite difficult repertoire.

“Dr Peddell told us to treat MusicFest as a concert and not as if we were getting adjudicated, we could take risks because that’s the best thing and it paid off. It was nerve-wracking when we were playing as we were behind Brisbane State High and they are an elite symphony. I was so nervous. It was so exciting to win Platinum.”

Brooke Hitchmough has been playing violin for five years since

she was about eight years old. “I love it. I also play oboe and I am in the Queensland Youth Orchestra wind ensemble. This year’s MusicFest was the fourth I’ve been in. After we finished playing I was wondering how we would go I was amazed we got a Platinum, everyone was screaming.”

Jackson Lyle has played the French horn for three years having started off playing trumpet six years ago. He says that before the competition he was relaxing and talking with friends. “I had been in the MusicFest previously so I knew what to expect. When I was playing I was thinking of trying not to make mistakes and I didn’t make one all the way through, we were playing very well. We were the last to play so didn’t have

long to wait for the result. We all cheered, it was really good to know that we had won Platinum.”

Music lessons, rehearsals and activities take place in Canterbury College’s hi-tech Arts Centre, which includes specialist instrumental rooms, classrooms, a digital music technology classroom, a 220-seat auditorium, an outdoor amphitheatre and drama rehearsal rooms. A career in music is the ultimate goal of many of the students in the Performance Music program.

The school believes that the program aids in the development of the life-long skills of team work, commitment and leadership, all evident in the dedication of these award-winning young musicians and their leader.

future. I have a lot of ideas what I want to do when I leave school, maybe something with kids.”

Each of these young people is developing an independent will to achieve personal success for themselves, their school and their community. Perhaps these successes are the reason Mabel Park State High School was awarded the Beacon Foundation – Best Career Education Program in the Nation 2012.


Logan Seniors, delighted to join the party.“We had tremendous support from Waterford

West businesses who provided prizes,” Charmaine said.

Entertainer ‘Roxy P’ added the familiar melodies to make this an enjoyable day for everyone, and there is already talk in the community for next year’s Seasons Melbourne Cup luncheon.

My Name is Laurie and I live at Seasons.I wouldn’t swap this for anything.

I’ve lived at Seasons for around two and a half years and I wouldn’t swap this for anything. I love my independence, where I can listen to what I want on the radio, do my own laundry, and can cook my own meals when I want. I have my own kitchen and I think that planning what you want to eat and need to buy keeps the mind active. My three children like to come to visit and take me out and because they all live within 15 minutes, it’s very convenient. I think they like to bring me home to Seasons too. I am very well looked after here, with good staff and good friends. In fact, everything about living at Seasons is enjoyable. I am outnumbered by the ladies, but I enjoy every minute of that too.

Live, Seasons Aged Care.

At this time of year we tend to think about home and family, especially the very young and the elderly. Having a safe and special place to call home, not just a house but a

community, is the best of all worlds.Seasons at Waterford West has built such a

community. One based on shared values such as dignity, freedom, wellbeing and happiness for everyone.

Knowing our loved ones are safe gives us great peace of mind and the Seasons’ apartments have many high tech safety features as modern design elements and the emergency call systems are state-of-the-art. But safety isn’t the only aspect. We all want to have meaningful experiences and quality of life. That might mean growing a few vegies or walking our dog, going to the hairdresser or visiting the library or chapel for some quiet time.

Residents at Seasons have all these options for building a pleasant life based on enjoying the independence and privacy of their own home with as much companionship as they desire.

A season to giveLast year the people behind the six Seasons’

communities in south-east Queensland read in the media that some 60,000 residents in the region go without food each week, and were so moved to action they contributed to the 2011 Foodbank cause.

This year residents and staff are renewing their efforts with the Seasons’ food drive launched on 2nd November and running until 14th December.

Seasons’ CEO, Nick Loudon said that Foodbank, as a charity, supplies food, toiletries and other essentials to those in crisis across south-east Queensland and at this time of year its resources are stretched to the limit. The staff really embraced the Foodbank cause last year and now they have put it out to the wider community

to get involved and bring donated foodstuffs to a Seasons collection point.

“The number of people dependent on food handouts in south east Queensland is an enormous problem and very sadly more than half of them are children,” Nick Loudon says. “The plight of children in need, effectively in our own backyard, is alarming and touches all our hearts.”

It seems that the special

place the Seasons’ residents call home is a community with a generous heart.

High Society funAt Seasons Waterford West the residents are

quick to embrace social occasions. Recently for Melbourne Cup day they held quite a soiree!

Residents, families, friends and guests enjoyed the racing carnival atmosphere with their own fashions on the field, three course luncheon, sweeps, and of course the race that stops the nation broadcast on three big screens.

Organiser Charmaine Butterworth said the Seasons community extended an invitation to the broader community, with local groups such as the

As Arbonne International’s first area-manager in Queensland and the third regional vice-president Moana Robinson says that while there is one more level to go to

her aim is now to help others achieve their goals with Arbonne. She says that the reward is seeing the personal and professional development in her consultants and seeing their success.

A member of the Direct Selling Association of Australia, Arbonne is a highly regarded, premium brand of beauty and wellness products that are botanically based and inspired by nature. There are a number of aspects to the Arbonne story, from products to the business model of direct sales, to the people who are embracing the unique opportunity to build a life of prosperity and success. Moana doesn’t see it as a party plan business alone.

Moana says that direct sales or networking marketing is an excellent way to have an alternative income. “If I had found something like this when my kids were little I wouldn’t have been catching a train to work in the city. I would have had more time and more flexibility around my family, and not the guilt of having my girls in childcare.”

If you’re wondering if you have to be a beauty therapist to be an Arbonne Consultant nothing could be further from reality. Moana says consultants do not need to be a beauty therapist. She says the business appeals to stay-at-home mums, school teachers, project managers and both men and women from all

walks of life are enjoying great success. If you treat it like a hobby you earn hobby like commissions and if you treat it like a business you will have the potential of earning business like commissions. It’s entirely up to each consultant how much time and effort they put into their business.

Starting your Arbonne business“With Arbonne the administration is done for

you, you don’t have to pay wages; everything is set up for you to be successful. Arbonne says that you’re in business for yourself but you’re not by yourself,” Moana says.

“Our team lead with the product, we like people to fall in love with our product, you cannot sell something if you don’t love it yourself. We introduce you to the product range, the business plan, how the business works. Then you can go out and do the same thing, it’s all about duplication.”

Moana says that she will show new consultants how to start their business, whether it’s at a fast pace if they want to get into management levels really quickly or they can do it and work in with their current lifestyle. “I got to where I am by doing group presentations and we find that’s the most economical time-wise. There is usually one person at each presentation who wants to take up the Arbonne business opportunity. The flexibility of the business is great, it can be sold one-on-one or in group presentations — the possibilities are limitless.”

Pam Parker - Message from the Mayor of Logan City

As a mother of two now-adult children, I am sure I am not alone when I admit I am guilty of repeatedly espousing to my daughters “your school years are

among the best of your life’’.Perhaps what we as parents should

acknowledge as often is that these same school years are also the most challenging and at times confusing.

I have had the pleasure of attending a large number of graduations throughout the city this year and what struck me again was just how young and bright-eyed these students are as they close the gate on their school days and head towards tertiary education, employment, Tafe, or another pursuit.

At the tender age of 16 or 17 years, we are expecting our children to know what they want to do with the rest of their lives. I can only imagine the turmoil this onerous prospect has put many

of our Year 12 students through. I know when I was that age there was no way I could imagine that 40 years later I would be the Mayor of one of Australia’s largest councils.

As we age, we change - and so do our choices, aspirations and ambitions. What is less likely to change however is your passion.

From a very young age my passion has been a desire to help others. I have always thrived on doing what I could to bring a smile to the face of others and give a helping hand to those experiencing tough times.

As Mayor of Logan City I am fortunate that I am able to fulfil this passion. I am able to take a leadership role to ensure the decisions our council makes are made in the best interest of the community and will deliver a better Logan for all.

I urge parents, family, and friends of any student graduating this year to encourage them to follow their passion. By doing this, not only will they shine and achieve their potential, but

they will be happy and lead more enjoyable and satisfying lives.

To the graduating students, I congratulate you and wish you every success for the future. I know it may be clichéd but the world truly is your oyster. May you dive in and crack open a pearl.

And while our graduating students are busy planning their end of school celebrations, many others in our community are planning their Christmas festivities.

Christmas is a time of giving and caring for others. As one of my favourite times of the years, I take great happiness from gathering my dear friends and family together and spending quality time with them all.

One event I will most certainly to attending to help spread the Christmas cheer is the 2012 Logan City Mayor’s Christmas Carols on Saturday 15 December.

This year’s carols will again be held at Logan Metro Indoor Sports Centre with Australia’s

exceptionally talented and much-loved songstress Jessica Mauboy our special guest for the evening.

The former Australian Idol star, who recently featured in the successful Australian film, The Sapphires, will be joined on stage by Craig Martin and his Swing Band and the Cantabile Choir.

And there will be much more than just carolling fun at the free event with children bound to enjoy The Grinch Christmas Show, rides, a visit from jolly Santa and glo products.

There will also be food and drink available for sale with the night culminating in a magnificent fireworks display.

Residents intending to come along and join in the fun are reminded there is no parking at Logan Metro; instead a free shuttle service will run from SouthWest1/Berrinba Wetlands. The shuttle starts at 2.30pm with the fun of the carols running from 3.00-8.30pm.

Hope to see you all there.

So why not use the BBQ or forgo cooking altogether? It is a long held Australian tradition to BBQ anything from beef, chicken, pork, lamb to whole fish. So I am sure that you will find something that will suit your family, as well as being prepared ahead of time and out of the kitchen.

Real Teens Foundation in partnership with PCYC at Tudor Park, Loganholme are joining forces to bring the BreakFreeNow workshops to Logan on the weekend 8th and 9th

December. This is a great opportunity for all teens to learn how to face the pressures of life, deal with family and friends, develop their self-esteem and ultimately, how to achieve their dreams, all in a fun, safe and teen-friendly environment.

A national, not-for-profit, non-religious organisation, Real Teens Foundation delivers empowering, life-changing, interactive workshops for teenagers between 13 and 17 years of age. The BreakFreeNow workshops are a journey of exploration and discovery that confronts the real issues that teens are facing in general and as individuals.

Logan coordinator Florence Kelly and PCYC Tudor Park manager Trevor Bryant have worked together to bring the workshops to teens in Logan early in 2012 and are excited about this new opportunity for Logan’s teens to attend.

“We ran one earlier this year,” Trevor says.

“The concept is to get as many kids as we can to attend. We provide them with fresh and healthy teen-friendly meals over the weekend and we can cater for up to 120 including the workshop facilitators.”The workshop

Florence Kelly says that in the previous workshop teenagers came from as far afield as Perth, Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney, and central Queensland to attend. They get to hear about the program mainly through people who know teens who have done it.

“It’s an experiential workshop,” Florence says, “that is, we have games and processes that are specifically designed to bring up in the teenagers what’s not working for them. They don’t know what’s going to happen next which is the beauty of it, and because they cannot alter who they are our ultimate aim is for them to get to their authentic, true self and what that looks like. We help them to access that by talking about peer pressure. We play the games and how they play those games is how they live their lives and we take it from that perspective.”

On the Sunday afternoon, parents and guardians are requested to attend the final session so they can gain an appreciation for the journey their teen has undertaken. Parents have reported that a new level of understanding between them and their teen has developed.

During the workshop the teens are challenged to show their self-confidence. They are encouraged and empowered to discover and nurture their unique potential, personal power and happiness.

Over just a single weekend teenagers in past BreakFreeNow workshops have had remarkable results in learning to see themselves in a positive light.

The teen years should be filled with wonder, fun and learning but all too often it’s a case of low self-esteem, complexity and uncertainty. Now there is an opportunity for Logan teens to learn to transform those negatives into positive outcomes for their future, writes Wendy Johnson.

If like me you have been thinking about Christmas, and imagining a 38 degree day with 70% humidity it’s not really the sort of day you want to spend inside a hot kitchen conjuring up a feast, writes Suzanne Walker.

BBQ

Option One:Seafood BBQ — a platter of fresh oysters, BBQ prawns, calamari and whole fish• Marinate green prawns in a mixture of

garlic, olive oil and parsley.• Marinate calamari in lemon juice, thyme

and olive oil.• Have your fishmonger clean and scale

the fish and make slashes on either side. Fill the cavity of fish with lemon slices, onion, salt, pepper, knob of butter and herbs. Place two layers of foil on the bench, top with a layer of baking paper and wrap fish.

• Preheat BBQ to 350 degrees. Cook the fish, with the lid of the BBQ closed for 15- 20 minutes per kilo, turning the fish half way through the cooking time.

• While the fish is resting, BBQ the prawns for a few minutes until they change in colour. Then cook the calamari on a high heat for a minute until just cooked, serve with salads.

Option Two:Glazed ham and turkey on the BBQ• Buy a whole turkey breast from the

butcher and get him to cut into steaks for the BBQ.

• The day before marinate the turkey in lemon juice and thyme.

• Buy a leg of ham and slice thick steaks. Make a glaze by heating equal parts of browns sugar, Dijon mustard, marmalade and Triple Sec liqueur together.

• On the day cook the turkey steaks (or quail) first and then the ham with the glaze, arrange on a platter and serve with salads.

Option Three:Cold seafood — oysters, prawns, bugs• No cooking required, simply order the

oysters, prawns, bugs and smoked salmon from your favourite fishmonger and serve with salad and bread.

• I like to serve any of the options with a festive Green Bean, Cherry tomato and Feta Salad and a potato salad.

Finish with DessertEither a Pavlova or Summer Pudding• Serve Pavlova with fresh seasonal fruit

and whipped cream or a trifle which can be prepared the day before.

• For a Summer Pudding, line a pudding bowl with slices of crustless white bread and fill with raspberries, blueberries and strawberries in a sugar syrup. Top with another slice of bread and place a weight on top overnight. On the day, unmould the pudding and serve with cream.

I hope that you have safe, happy and enjoyable Christmas.

The true spiritof Christmas

It is that time of year again, Christmas trees and beautiful decorations fill shopping centres everywhere, families start preparing for one heck of a feast and children are filled with excitement, writes Resa Zekants.

It may be stressful and costly but Christmas is the very best time of year, a time for giving, joy, laughter and togetherness. But Christmas shopping can be exhausting and the clever

shoppers will be ticking off their lists early in the month but if you’re like most of us you will be leaving it until the last minute.

The

of

In this case you will need some inspiration, especially for those who are difficult to buy for or who seem to have everything. So here is a list of ideas for your Christmas trolley:

• Mum: A word to the wise — you simply cannot go wrong with a new outfit, shoes or jewellery! Sole Sister Shoes at Springwood have the most desirable shoes in Logan and the lady in your life would be hard pressed not to love a new pair of sandals or maybe dancing shoes for New Year’s Eve.

Michaels Jewellers at Springwood have exquisite rings, earrings, bracelets and charms. If you cannot decide then a gift voucher is an easy decision.

Fashion Is Boutique at Beenleigh has a great range of fashion labels such as Boo Radley and Black Pepper for the ladies. In sizes 8-24 they also stock a fantastic range of accessories so your special lady will look a million dollars this Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve.

• Dad: If dad is the outdoorsy type then an Akubra from Aitkens Saddlery at Loganholme is a great choice. Or perhaps a new pair of dress or work boots would make a welcome gift under the tree.

• Everyone: Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! Who doesn’t love chocolate and now we know it’s good for us the guilt has disappeared. Poppy’s Chocolates at Beenleigh make the most heavenly chocolates using only the finest ingredients. Whether for gift giving (think gift box or basket) or to have

on the table Christmas Day this is going to be a popular choice with all the family.

• After all this shopping you’re going to need a break and a great place to tempt your taste buds is at Logan Diggers Bravo Café. You’ll love their mouth-watering cakes, desserts, sandwiches and freshly brewed coffee. Just the reviver you’ll need to fortify yourself for more shopping!

While you’re out Christmas shopping why not give a thought to the less well-off in our community and buy two gifts — one for your family member and another to give away to a person the same age and gender. Experience double happiness by spreading the joy!

The wishing treeThis year Kmart will celebrate its 25th year of the Kmart Wishing

Tree appeal. Until Christmas Eve, Kmart stores across Logan will be collecting donations in gift form.

Simply take a gift tag from the Kmart wishing tree, fill out the

details and attach it to your donation then hand it to the front desk in store. The gift does not have to be purchased from Kmart. All donations are given to The

Salvation Army to support families in need. This year they’re aiming for

over half-a-million gifts!


Looking for gifts with WOW Factor this year (maybe sneak in a treat for yourself)? Poppy’s Chocolate Factory has WOW and lots of it – you can’t go wrong with chocolate! This is no ordinary box of chocolates as Poppy’s own silky couverture chocolate is used to create divine artisan chocolates and truffles, all locally handmade. Be enticed by the mouthwatering flavours available. Discover why everyone is raving about their extensive range of decadence. Painted Santas, rocky road, mobile phones through to brightly coloured handmade delicacies. (ssshhh..at factory direct prices!)

True Christmas Spirit the joys of the simple things

Families

I hope that the following ideas are helpful in enjoying the end of the year celebrations.

1. Take the family for a walk to view local Christmas lights displays. Use this opportunity to hold your children’s hands, to warmly call for their attention and to listen to their thoughts and descriptions. Make it a family-friendly, time taking, and quality adventure.

2. Put up a Christmas count-down calendar in the house. Make it fun and exciting. Let the children take turns at counting down the days everyday. Take the opportunity, while together, to play a short game, sing a song or read a spiritual story. Try to make this time something to look forward to.

3. Be festive! Whether it be decorating a Christmas tree, putting lights up on a fence or listening to festive music, have fun! Whether one believes in Santa or not, there’s no reason as to why one should not enjoy happy moments which bring families together. After all, loving families being kind to each other should be what Christmas is about.

4. Indulge in Christmas treats. I know, as a mother of five children, one of them being hyperactive, how stupid this may sound, and of course we must use common sense. But Christmas treats have got a special feel to them. Be opened to all suggestions.

For many, Christmas is undeniably one of the biggest events of the year. Whilst many find themselves preoccupied with gifts, budgeting and catering, the truth is, there are many simple ways of feeling the true spirit of Christmas, writes

Stephanie Azri.

Fruit mince pies, fruit cakes, star shaped lollies, cherries and black juicy plums are all little treats which can give Christmas a fairly priceless edge to it.

5. Adopt traditions. Foster memories that your children will cherish forever. It may be to write each other a nice letter, to go on a holiday or weekend together, to cook a special meal or to attend a particular religious ceremony. Try to make Christmas the time where everyone re-energises and remembers who they are as well as how much they are appreciated and appreciative of each other.

6. Focus on the Christmas spirit, not the Christmas presents. Whether your focus is on the religious meaning of Christmas, the values around it or the time off with family, make sure that you do not get consumed with material issues which in the big scheme of things, are truly insignificant.

To be honest, I don’t particularly like Christmas day. The busy day, its cost, the anxiety over whether your gifts will please others and the anticlimax at the end of it all are pretty sharp. However - how precious the rest of the Christmas season is! The joy on children’s faces, the opportunity for quality moments, the reflective time and the renewal of energy amidst the spiritual and warm buzz can not be denied as something magical for the little and big people alike!

Logan Olympic swimming sensation Alicia Coutts is engaged! Her fiancé, Steve proposed in London in the second week of the Olympics in August and instantly Alicia knew who to turn to for her engagement ring.

There was never any doubt that Alicia Coutts would ask Robert Evans of Boyce Jewellers at Springwood to make her engagement ring. After all, he had taken on the precious job of remodelling her father’s gold wedding ring into her Olympic ring in 2008. Now this is a lot more poignant than at first glance as Alicia’s father passed away when she was only seven and she definitely wanted him to be a part of her Olympic glory.

“I’ve known Robert and Alice and the family for many years, since primary school and its extra special to me that they designed and remade dad’s wedding ring into my Olympic ring, it’s very precious,” Alicia says.

Four years, two Olympics and five medals, including the illustrious gold medal and an Olympic record later, Alicia is now engaged to be married. Not content to choose a ready-made engagement ring, Alicia knew she wanted Robert to design one with all the love, care and skill the master-craftsman puts into every creation.

With only a slight idea of what she wanted, Alicia sat with long-time friend Robert to design the most important piece of jewellery in her life.

Rob’s son, award winning young jeweller Josh Evans, is following in his father’s footsteps. Robert has certainly set high standards and now Josh is creating finely crafted sterling silver pendants and jewellery.

Robert and his son Josh talents lie in being able to hand draw and make exquisite pieces of one-off jewellery and tweak them to suit the most fastidious buyer.

“With Alicia, we went over what she actually wanted then I did a whole pile of drawings on the spot so she could see it being drawn by hand,” Robert says.

Based in Canberra, Alicia flew up a couple of weeks ago to collect her engagement ring after Robert had sent her progress photos so that she was kept up-to-date throughout the whole design and manufacture process.

“I sent her photos by email so Alicia could see it being made,” Robert says. “We started with a block of gold here in the workshop and then the whole ring was crafted by hand.”

The final ring is breath-taking. A rare, white, claw-set diamond with three white diamonds on each side and for luck Robert also included four rare Australian pink diamonds. A ring made with love!

ALICIA COUTTSgoes for gold … again!

Why not organise a family portrait photo shoot? This way you can capture beautiful memories of your family as it grows, as well

as have the perfect gift to give to any number of loved ones at Christmas time.

Find a photographer that you feel comfortable with and your photos will look natural, instead

of posed with everyone saying “cheeeeeese”. You can include the whole family or surprise your other half with photos of your newborn baby, or a gift voucher for a couple shoot. You can decide on an in-door studio setting for more formal photos, or if you choose an outdoor setting as your background, the family dog could also be included in the fun!

You could go down to the beach or local playground with your kids and get the photographer to capture images of them playing in their natural environment. Their smiles will be a whole lot wider than if they have to sit inside a crowded shopping centre, watching people walk past, while someone shoves a stuffed toy in their face trying to get them to smile for the camera!

Photos can be digitally altered so they’re in black & white or sepia, or everyone could wear bright, bold colours so that you stand out and once on the wall, your canvas ‘pops’ against

the white background. Rather than the normal posed shots that everyone has, try jumping, laying on the ground, or splashing water around for something different.

Some photographers offer packages that include your photos on a disk so that you can get re-prints made for all the family. Or maybe you’d like a big canvas to hang in the living room. Grandma’s face will light up when she unwraps her gift and finds a framed print or canvas or even digital photo frame of her family smiling back at her.

There are lots of other ideas for Christmas gifts that you could make with your photos and Officeworks, KMart and Big W have lots of options, such as:• coffee table books and small flipbooks• cards, calendars and key rings• coffee mugs and stubby coolers, or even pet

bowls• diaries, posters and puzzles

If you’re sick of giving or getting socks and jocks for Christmas you will probably need some help to think of a Christmas present for the person who has everything, writes Kelly Pack.

A lastingChristmas gift

To be remembered for giving the perfect Christmas present this is the time to book a professional photographer!

If you are serious about working from home, you will need a space in which to work that you can separate from your family life, and somewhere quiet and free from distractions.

The most important tip I can give, is that you don’t need a lot of money to get started – I certainly didn’t – and you can gradually build up your office equipment and furnishings as you establish your business and earn more money.

The essentialsFirst you need to decide exactly what type

of work you will be carrying out and what the essential requirements will be for you to undertake that work. For example, I started with a laptop, rather than a desktop computer, because I also do minute-taking away from my home-based office so I needed an efficient way to do this.

More recently, I have purchased two large monitors to plug into my laptop for when I need

to do more complex work on a bigger screen. My business is very much based around my laptop and likewise most businesses have important information stored on computers and laptops so from the very start it is important to consider a way to regularly back up your electronic information.

You may not need to install a separate dedicated phone line for your business. A mobile phone number is generally sufficient as a contact for clients, especially if you also have a website and an email address.

An ergonomic chair and a desk are the only other initial items you will need to get started. Make sure your chair is comfortable and the right height for you so that you can maintain good posture as you work at your desk in order to

Deciding to take the plunge and

But, as long as you are disciplined

enough, it can be a very cost

effective way to run your business,

with no commercial outlays or travel

costs, writes Tina Litte.

safeguard your most valuable business asset – you.

Another crucial item to consider as soon as possible is a shredder. Ensure you shred all client information once you have finished with it, to protect the privacy of your clients.

If you don’t intend to have clients visit your house, you shouldn’t need to take out any additional insurance in regard to protecting your equipment, however, it is a good idea to check with your house and contents insurance cover just in case. Your local council may also have some home-based business requirements.

Switching offAlthough one of the benefits of working from

home is the freedom to choose your own hours, it is a good idea to set yourself regular hours, otherwise you can find yourself still working away into the evening and never really ‘closing

the office’. You can set your rules to suit yourself and your specific circumstances. For example, I have a rule not to answer my work phone after business hours – this also helps separate family and work life.

With today’s technology, it really is quite easy and inexpensive to set up a home-based office and work virtually, and I believe it is the ‘way of the future’.

Tomorrow when the war beganBy John Marsden

Action packed and told from the aspect of a

journal written by Ellie, a member of a group of teenagers who are terrorising the enemy. Having avoided capture initially, they are doing all they can to disrupt the invaders but not without huge loss to themselves. This is not a book that hides from danger, the horrors of war or its bloody consequences. Its heroes are all too human and it’s all here from being hopelessly scared to the psychological and moral dilemmas that torment them with all they have done.

And they have done a lot!Told simply and easily, this is an excellent

book. The Australian setting is so well captured and makes the story feel so near. This is book one in a seven book series, all with similar plots and themes but see if you can put them down! I can’t. You become so close to each of the main characters and all their personalities and quirks. These people are your friends - or could be. It is all so possible. These aren’t big wordy books and yet there is nothing missing. Sometimes less truly

is satisfyingly enough.With the movie having been recently released, I

wanted to see what all the fuss was about. After all, this is the series that they recommend to teenagers that don’t read. I am hooked and as my son said, “I can’t believe I did not want to read this before!”

BookReview

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a great fan of the festive season but we are all guilty of losing sight of the big picture. What is the big picture I hear you ask? It’s

simple. It’s your WHY. Why are you doing whatever you are doing?

Here at Pat Rae Personal Training we are an energetic and passionate bunch of people. We inspire our clients in a positive environment to change their lives. We do this through using what we’ve learned and through relating it to our own personal experiences. We achieve this by exercising our client’s minds and body to become their VERY BEST.

Why I do what I doFrom a personal perspective, I’m always

asked by my close friends, why do I continue to train hard when I’m closing in on my 50th birthday. The answer is simple and they are 2, 5 and 7. The 2 year old is my grandson. The 5 & 7 year old are my own children. I want to live long enough to see them all get married.

So when your WHY is so big, so powerful and so motivating, your choices are obvious and easy to make. Choices like — not overeating, not binge drinking and keep exercising, even when everyone around you is making a different choice.

Seeing people change their lives FOR THE BETTER is something I cannot explain. Whether it’s a 140kg woman losing half her body weight and keeping it off, or a 72 year old woman removing the hand rails from her toilet because she no longer needs them to get up and down, or a 45 yr old business man no longer having to take blood pressure

medication when his cardiologist said he would be medicated for the rest of his life. Those changes can’t be quantified but the feeling of helping someone achieve that cannot be described.

This article is titled the Joy of Christmas and staying in the game. The game I’m referring to is the game of life. You stay in the game simply by living, not by just surviving.

Here’s how you can stay in the game:1. Discover what your why is and live by

your WHY each and every day.2. Find something you love to do, that pays

you a reasonable income (but you’d gladly do for free) and you’ll do it every single day without a day of dread.

3. You will always have a choice. Just make sure you choose the one as guided by your WHY.

4. The more you give, the more you receive. Give more and you’ll get more in return.

5. Give your loved ones a hug and a kiss. Somewhere someone is losing a loved one to 21st century preventable diseases.

This year, if you are organising Christmas festivities, these helpful tips may help prevent the day after symptoms for your friends and family that may have

food sensitivities.

Christmas is a time for family, friends, fun, celebration, and of course food! For many people with food sensitivities however, traditional Christmas food choices can often mean migraines and headaches on Boxing Day, and it’s not from one too many eggnogs, writes Marianne Fernance.

Enjoy Christmas

the headaches!

Always include gluten-free optionsEven if none of your guests have celiac disease, gluten frequently triggers migraines in people with food sensitivities. The large number of cakes, desserts, and breads, consumed at Christmas, can increase the likelihood of this occurring. Gluten free no longer means taste free and combining gluten-free options will cut the overall amount of gluten consumed.

without

If you choose to serve alcohol make sure water is readily availableThis is more than just hangover prevention! Alcohol in general, and red wine particularly can trigger headaches and migraines in people with a histamine sensitivity or nitrite sensitivity. Water is a natural anti-histamine and helps to rapidly lower levels of histamine preventing histamine related headaches.

TIP 1Make home prepared savoury treats to lower sodium intake In trials, as little as 1g of sodium was enough to trigger migraines in sensitive people. Many store-bought snacks, particularly savouries, are high in sodium. While home-made options are time-consuming to prepare, they make an enjoyable part of the family tradition and help reduce sodium intake at the same time.

TIP 2

TIP 3

Correcting Food Sensitivities Long TermThe good news for people with food sensitivities is that treatment options are available. There is a strong connection between intestinal permeability and a hyperactive immune system, and food sensitivities. Our Naturopathic practitioners can help fix your digestion, allowing your body to deal with these common food additives properly.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21This is your month when your optimism and compassion is at its strongest. You’re ready for a break, and friends and family will gather around to bask in your light. If you’re having a birthday gifts will be secondary to the festivities and reunions.

CAPRICORN Dec 20 - Jan 20This will be a busy month for you with lots of activity around practical matters. But be careful you don’t get burnt or burn yourself. Plans can be made easily, and if you’re having a birthday as usual it will be twice the fun.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 18 This is a positive month for you when you’re energy levels will improve, and you can make changes easily especially in relation to education and travel. You’ll meet new people and make new friends too from different places.

PISCES Feb 19 - Mar 20Early in the month is best for you to get things done when people will seem more considerate. Later on you might have to take time out and find your own little oasis to escape the rush, or dust off the relaxation tape.

ARIES Mar 21 - April 19Early month you’ll be bogged down in financial and relationship issues, but later on you’ll have your freedom and will be able to enjoy the holidays and outdoor activities. And if you’re single a new relationship will surprise you.

TAURUS April 20 - May 20Early on there’s challenges around loved ones and finances but later on you can forget all your responsibilities and enjoy the festivities. The outdoors and maybe a long journey will give you a chance to relax, or you might have to prepare for distant visitors.

Community Activities

GEMINI May 21 - June 21You will have some personal matters to deal with early in the month but won’t want to talk about it. Later on you will be released from the everyday grind and if you’re travelling, check all arrangements as there could be delays.

CANCER June 22 - July 22Early in the month will be best for you to finalise any plans and get all your shopping done, because if you leave it to the last minute you could end up in tears. A business idea or career move could be on your mind, don’t burn the lunch!

LEO July 23 - Aug 22This is a good month for you personally when you can join with friends and family to celebrate your success and enjoy the holidays. Casual outdoor activities are the best and your organising skills will be needed to make everything run smoothly.

VIRGO Aug 23 - Sept 22You’re not really a holiday person but as the month progresses you’ll be forced to take a break. Try to enjoy it, and your help will be needed anyway especially with the everyday jobs. Get back to nature when you can to recharge your batteries.

LIBRA Sept 23 - Oct 23Early in the month you’ll just want to cosy up with your significant other, listen to music and enjoy some fine food. Later on it’s time to get your skates on or pack your bags for a distant place, where an opportunity will come your way.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22Early in the month it’s business as usual, with lots of activity around shared finances, take care around any papers signed. Later on you can relax and enjoy the great outdoors, and maybe some new age festivities.

Eagle Farm Aviation Society

The Eagle Farm Aviation Society (EFAS) is looking for new members to help it with its goal to establish the Eagle Farm Community Heritage Centre (EFCHC) inside the heritage listed Hangar 7 at the site of the old Eagle Farm Airfield. EFAS is an incorporated not-for-profit organisation comprising a group of enthusiastic volunteers.

Should we achieve our goal, the EFCHC would contain a world-class resource aviation library and become the starting place for a Museum Heritage Trail.

ON AIRHi there, let me introduce myself! I am Cyril Callaghan, one of the weekend presenters of Bright and Beautiful Hits on 101FM. taste in music to others. My taste in music

ranges from the 50s, 60s into the early 70s. As I grew up in those times that era has had a strong influence on my current programming.

I am finding that the more programs I put together, my taste is broadening and I tend to not only play the music that I have always liked, but now am including music of later decades, such as the 80s and 90s.

I try to program for listeners in the over-40s demographic and it gives me great satisfaction that people are listening and enjoying the selected music.

My biggest challenge as a new presenter is to learn more about keeping the program flowing and getting the timing right, especially around news time. Things I have learnt to consider when creating a program include: aiming for the right audience; time of day; day of the week; special events/long weekends. The question I ask myself is, ‘what would I like to listen to right now? ‘

It’s heartening to know that people are listening and then take the time to phone for a little chat. Taking the call of someone who might just need some contact or information about an artist or music track is an integral part of the information sharing process.

My present programs are on the first Saturday in the month for Party Mix 10:00pm-1:00am, the second Saturday in the month for Bright and Beautiful Hits 9:00am-midday, and the fourth and fifth Sundays in the month for Bright and Beautiful Hits 9:00am-1:00pm

Although I have no background in radio, I have always wondered what it would be like to be able to present one’s

To make your own Christmas cards you will need some scissors, double-sided tape, an assortment of coloured cardboards and papers, ribbon and any other bits and pieces you might want

to add. You can buy packs of blank cards with envelopes as well as packs of scrap paper and cardboard for art purposes or scrap-booking. You can get these items from any craft store like Riot and some discount stores, and Big W.

First you will need to decide on the colour of your card and the decorations you want on it. Traditional Christmas colours are always good to start with such as gold, silver, red, green and white. You may want to decide before hand which family member or friend you are making the card for, as it will help you determine what personality and colour to put into it. For example: my sister is a fun, glamorous and energetic person so her card will be brightly coloured with lots of glitter.

Easy Christmas cards to make at home!

MakingyourownChristmascardscanbesomuchfunanditisagoodwaytoincorporateyourpersonalityandstyle,writesResa Zekants.

Carddecorationideas1.Make presents out of square pieces of

patterned or glittered cardboard; you can create a little bow out of ribbon to put on the top.

2.Cut out the shape of a Christmas tree from a piece of glittered cardboard and stick it in the middle of your card with double-sided tape. Use silver or gold cardboard to cut out a star for the top of the tree. Use ribbon or sequins to decorate the tree.

3. To make a snow flake, take a piece of white paper and cut it into a circle (you may want to use a stencil for this). Then fold the circle until you have a long cone shape, cut small shapes out of the sides and largest end only (do not cut the tip, as it is holding the paper together). Then fold again and cut small shapes into the sides only; keep going until you can’t possibly fold anymore. Open up your circle and you will have a magnificent one of a kind snow flake. Add silver glitter to create a shimmering effect.

Making your own cards this Christmas will get you in the joyful spirit, whether it is traditional or glamorous your homemade card will look so much better than a bought one!

Once you have a card and colour scheme picked out, you can start creating your decorations.

1. Start with stencilling; create the shape you want on a piece of coloured cardboard. Some shape ideas could be, a Christmas tree, star, snowflake, Santa Claus or Reindeer. You can use cookie cutters as a stencil.

2.Cut out your shape then stick it on your card, with double sided tape. Layering glittered or patterned cardboard upon plain coloured cardboard is very effective, making the shapes stand out.

3.Now you can add anything you want; glitter, ribbon, sequins, stickers or fabric. You can even use the pictures and decorations off old Christmas cards. Craft stores do have a variety of stickers and may even have “Merry Christmas” ones that you could use. You can even decorate the inside of your card with patterned scrapbook paper.
