DON’T PANIC MR MANNERING

Sub-prime crisis (whatever that is), US recession, Share Market heading south, Fuel prices heading north and you not getting any younger. It’s all too hard. Maybe it’s time to cut and run? Maybe not!

To say we are in interesting economic times would be something of an understatement. The Aussie economy, riding at least partly on the back of high demand for our resources appears to be powering along reasonably well in an uncertain world. The goings-on in the US certainly have an impact on our economic well-being, but we are truly part of a global economy today and the US economy isn’t the whole story any more. There’s China, of course and a heap of other trading partners in Asia and Europe, not to mention Japan.

DAYBORO SHOW BUSH DANCE

Mark the date in your Dayboro Calendar, Saturday 29th March 2008.  The venue is the same, Dayboro Showgrounds and the start time is 7pm.

The Burning Bush Band will provide the entertainment and if the dancing is as fast and furious as last year, get ready to have the time of your life.  Just watching the antics on the dance floor is fun; just ask someone who was there last year, a great night of family fun was had by all.

It was party time for the playgroup in December with the kids enjoying the annual pool party. Santa visited and was received well as were the gifts he was giving. The swimming and eating seemed to wear the little ones out and many went home very tired as did a few parents. It was the adults turn to party next with a delightful dinner at the Ocean View Estate winery. The AGM was held and with all the formalities out the way much of the local produce was sampled and lots of fun was had by all who attended. Now we must return to some form of normality.

WELCOME BACK

Well, the all too short Christmas/New Year break is behind us and everyone will have been gearing up for return to work, preparing for school, keeping the weeds under control, mowing the lawns, signing the kids on for sport or for our volunteers getting ready for another year of community service.  With local government elections taking place on 15^th March, I look forward to the opportunity of continuing to work with the community and applying my skills and experience in meeting the challenges brought about by creation of Australia’s third largest council.  It will be critical to us all for this amalgamation to be as smooth as possible so that the services, facilities and lifestyle we have grown to enjoy in Pine Rivers are protected.  Have a good year.

My life changed forever 2½years ago when I became a parent for the first time. No amount of talking to family or friends or reading countless books on parenting prepared me for the experience of childbirth and then the day to day events of raising a child. I fortunately was one of the lucky ones who felt an instant bond, love so great I sometimes feel I am going to burst.

FOR DAYBORO’S FIRST RESPONDERS GROUP

MARK IT IN YOUR DIARY:  Wed 5th March, 6.30pm

See you there – at the Dayboro Ambulance Station!

The Dayboro community will be delighted to know that a Dayboro First Responders Group has been officially approved for the area. First Responders will greatly support the already stretched resources of the local Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) by attending local accidents and medical emergencies to provide life saving first aid until the arrival of advanced medical care. This was the second submission that Chresten Reville (Local Advanced Care Paramedic) and Craig Ferguson (Local Ambulance Committee Member) have presented to the QAS within the last 18 months and this one was more than 6 months in preparation.
