Queensland Police officers ready to run
160km in 24 hours for sick kids
I had the pleasure of meeting Petrie Police Station Senior Constable Dane Britton
& Senior Constable Ryan Cole of Caboolture Child Protection Investigation Unit
to talk about their journey as they gear up for their fundraising event raising money for the
Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Constable Britton’s nephew, Logan, Investigation      Unit & Right: Petrie Police Station Senior Constable Dane Britton
was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma at holding his daughter
only seven-years-old.

Against all odds, Logan was the first
child in Australia of his age to survive
the disease, and so Sen-Constable
Britton wanted to say thank you to
Children’s Hospital Foundation for all
they did for Logan during his time in
hospital.

The officers are aiming to raise $10,000
in the lead-up to the run, having already
raised more than $8,000.

“Supporting the Children’s Hospital
Foundation makes the hard work worth
it, giving us an opportunity to positively
engage our community, and leaving a
lasting positive impact on those who
need it most,” Sen-Constable Britton
said.

“I never knew how to repay them for all
the amazing things they did for Logan
during the fight for his life and running
160km seemed like a crazy enough
way to say thank you.”

The much-needed funds raised by
Dane and his running mates will help
the Children’s Hospital Foundation
work wonders for Queensland’s sickest
kids, through delivering entertainment
and distraction for kids in hospital,
investing in vital medical research and
funding new life-saving equipment.

SLOW DOWN, ANIMALS AROUND:
RACQ AND THE RESCUE COLLECTIVE
RACQ and animal wellbeing advocates, The Rescue Collective, have joined forces
to urge Queenslanders be aware of wildlife feeding near roads as it was peak
season for collisions.
New RACQ insurance crash data revealed more than 1,300 crashes involving
animals were recorded during the month of September in the past three years.
RACQ spokesperson Lucinda Ross said with border restrictions in place, many
holidaymakers continued to opt for a Queensland road trip, which was great for the
economy, but could be dangerous for wildlife.
"We're right in the middle of the peak time for animal collisions, with our data
showing June through to October are the worst months for these crashes," Ms
Ross said.
"In the past three years, this period saw RACQ members involved in more than 6,500
collisions with animals."
The Rescue Collective Director Nicole Blums said there had been an earlier than
normal start to animal trauma season this year.
"Not only are we seeing animals being killed, but breeding season's also underway
so they're on the move looking for food – that often means danger near roads," Ms
Blums said.
"We're calling on motorists to slow down and take care. If you do hit an animal and it
survives, please stop and call your local wildlife rescue service to see if they can
keep it alive or can be there to rescue any orphans."
Ms Ross said there were several things drivers could do to avoid a collision with
wildlife.
"The data speaks for itself – if you're driving at dawn or dusk, you're more likely to
have a crash with an animal because that's when they're feeding on the roadside.
Avoid these times if you can, make sure you always stick to the speed limit, and stay
aware of what's ahead."
RACQ insurance claims data revealed 12,798 claims for collisions with animals in
the three-year period from 1 July 2017.

                                                                          THE MOST STOLEN CARS IN

IKEA CATALOGUE CELEBRATES ITS 70TH BIRTHDAY
In its 70th edition, IKEA has evolved the iconic format
of its catalogue into a 'how-to' problem solver for
homes around the world.
For the first time, this year’s IKEA Catalogue has been turned into a
‘how-to’ booklet full of problem-solving tips, hands-on ideas and
practical advice in a response to a time where life at home has never
been more important.

Now more than ever, people are faced with the desire to create homes
that suit their ever-changing needs and desires. As leaders in life at
home, IKEA wants to provide Australians with the knowledge to make
these big-impact changes by transforming the catalogue into a ‘how-
to’ booklet.
This dynamic version of the IKEA Catalogue 2021 is focused on small
budgets and smaller spaces. Each page has been filled with “how to’s”
on ways to make homes around the world cosier, smarter, more
sustainable and more beautiful.

“Life at home has never been more important as it is today. As we all
spend more time at home, our spaces are working harder than ever
before. For many of us, the reality of life at home means spaces and
budgets that are shrinking in size. That’s why we’ve focused the
solutions in this year’s catalogue on affordability and small space
living”, says Christine Gough, Country Home Furnishing and Retail
Design Manager for IKEA Australia.

The IKEA Catalogue 2021 presents the importance of beautiful
bathrooms, delicious kitchens and living and dining rooms you’ll fall in
love with. In addition to these big impact changes, customers will also
be offered practical tips such as mixing patterns, showing off your style
and how to organise absolutely everything.

Despite our lives at home changing, some of the solutions to grace the
pages of the catalogue have continued for decades - like our highly
loved BILLY bookcase, which continues to be a customer favourite more
than 40 years on. What’s also stayed the same is our commitment to
inspire people to live healthier and more sustainable lives.

“We want to help people create a home that’s not only better for them,
but better for the planet too – one water-saving tap and LED light bulb at
a time”, says Christine.

Each year, IKEA conducts in-depth research and home visits with people
around the world. Through our research we’re able to find out people’s
frustrations, dreams, hopes and desires for their homes. There are 6
different homes in this year’s catalogue, each representing a different
living situation including a young couple in their first apartment, a
growing family in a rental, and a money-savvy couple with two young
children in a one-bedroom apartment.

With a range of new products featured in the IKEA Catalogue 2021,
customers can find the practical advice, solutions and advice for
creating a smarter, more flexible, and better life at home.

Customers can access the IKEA Catalogue 2021
online at www.ikea.com.au or collect a copy from
their local IKEA Australia store from 1 September

Queensland kids learn to cook Jamie Oliver
style, with the launch of an all new school
holiday program, delivered online!

With face-to-face classes ceasing, Jamie’s Ministry of Food has
announced the launch of a school holiday program, offering online
cooking classes for young Queenslanders from the comfort of their own
kitchens.

With over 19,000 Queenslanders having participated in Jamie’s
Ministry of Food’s program, online virtual communities have popped up
all over the state – from Yarrabilba to Mackay, and Toowoomba to Isaac
to name a few.

With funding contribution from the Queensland Government and with
the support of Health and Wellbeing Queensland, Jamie’s Ministry of
Food is committed to improving the nutritional education and cooking
skills for locals and priority groups.

“Our school holiday program will teach our young students the basics of
food, nutrition and cooking, as well as some of Jamie’s special tips and
tricks! Participants will learn how to make meals from scratch, by
baking, grilling, sautéing, boiling and roasting fresh ingredients,” said
Siobhan Boyle, CEO of The Good Foundation.

“The program equips teens with skills that make it simpler and quicker
to cook healthy, delicious meals – a skill that will take them well into
adulthood. Maintaining a healthy diet is always important and
particularly during these difficult times,” Siobhan said.
