NEWSLETTER October 2012

Message from The Area Coordinator
Please take note that the phone number for the Police Communications covering Logan and the Gold Coast has now changed to 3445 8000. By the time you receive this newsletter the identity theft/fraud talk will probably have taken place and I hope that those of you who attend(ed) will be much better informed of the tricks that some criminals use. Just remember if it sounds too good to be true - IT USUALLY IS! Also now is a timely reminder to ensure your WI FI safety information regarding this is available on the police website www.police.qld.gov.au
IDENTITY THEFT/FRAUD TALK CRESTMEAD COMMUNITY CENTRE
Sunday October 21st 2.30pm
Did you know that instead of reporting offences by phone you can do so on line? Email address is policelink@police.qld.gov.au and again on the police website there are examples of what information is needed.
The new Commissioner of Police is Ian Stewart who played such an important role in last year’s floods crisis.
We wish him well in his new role and also wish Bob Atkinson a very enjoyable retirement he was well respected and a man of integrity.
We hope to hold an end of year party in one of the Crestmead parks during November information will be on our Facebook page and website plus notices will be in the local free papers. Don’t forget our AGM will be at the November meeting and I encourage you to become involved in our community organisation.
I look forward to seeing you at one of the next community events.
Take care Geoff

REMEMBER SCHOOL ZONE

SPEED LIMITS ARE IN FORCE

7am—9am & 2pm—4pm

DURING SCHOOL TERMS

END OF YEAR ACTIVITIES—KEEP SAFE AND SECURE
As you are aware it will soon be that time of year again HALLOWEEN leading to SCHOOLIES and then THE FESTIVE SEASON all times when we should be aware of situations that can be dangerous.
With Halloween just remember that not all folk like to be bothered with the door knocking and then follow up behaviour by some people of ‘’egging’’ their property just for failing to open the door or give into the trick or treat message. If you have young children be sure they are accompanied by a responsible person don’t let them go out walking the streets alone each is too precious to allow anything to happen to them.
Schoolies is too much of a temptation to some youngsters who are on the brink of their adult lives.
We all remember the ONE PUNCH CAN KILL campaign started with a young man being hit and subsequently dying for absolutely no reason at all drink and drugs can affect people differently and the police will charge parents who supply their children with alcohol to take to these schoolies events - if the atmosphere is good enough, you don’t need alcohol to enjoy yourself. There is the possibility of drink driving incidents, older people taking advantage of teenagers, causing damage and even death from over-doing the ‘party spirit’.
Festive season of course will involve too many temptations for some if you are going out and drinking make sure you have a non drinker in your party to be nominated driver or take a cab. Don’t take chances with parties being affected by gate crashers. Register your event with the police through the PARTY SAFE scheme and don’t advertise on Facebook!! Don’t swim if affected by drink or drugs and if you are out with mates - keep an eye on each others drinks so they are not spiked.
WE ALL WANT TO WELCOME 2013 & ENJOY ANOTHER YEAR WITH OUR LOVED ONES

NEWSLETTER September 2012

Message from The Area Coordinator
I hope that the information in this newsletter will provide you or someone you know of some sobering facts regarding the road toll for last year. We must try and reduce the number of lives lost or damaged each year through pointless actions. As you can see out of 269 deaths last year, 244 were due to WRONG CHOICES made by a motorist. So in effect only 25 deaths were due to ACTUAL ACCIDENTS!!
The IDENTITY THEFT/FRAUD TALK is being held at Crestmead Community Centre on Sunday October 21st at 2.30pm. I would encourage you to come along and find out about the latest scams and attempts at stealing the most important thing in your life your identity. This seems to be the fastest growing crime and even the most wary of people will find some new attempt being made each day. You are most welcome to come and enjoy an afternoon tea with Crestmead Neighbourhood Watch group, there will be safe plate screws available for attachment to your car to prevent registration plates being stolen. We will also have police in attendance to answer your queries on other matters relating to crime. If you require transport we are hoping to have use of a mini bus so please email /ring me for further details.
The annual LOGAN LOVES VOLUNTEERS event takes place on October 14th between 4pm-8pm at Underwood Park, Priestdale. The Volunteer of the Year award closes on Friday 28th September so if you know someone who deserves to be recognized for their work in the community don’t miss out on voting for them. I look forward to seeing you at one of the next community events.
Take care Geoff

NEWSLETTER August 2012

Message from The Area Coordinator
We have had quite a chilly spell so hope that you have all kept warm and also kept an eye on your neighbours who may not be as active or able to do things as easily in the cold weather. A friendly knock on the door to see if they are ok and need any help would be much appreciated by our older and less mobile residents. It will soon be spring and we can get out and about in the garden again perhaps you could offer to help with some tidying up or planting of bulbs/seeds.
Just checking on your neighbours makes a big difference to many people’s lives & goes a long way in the ’’feel good factor’’ - try it!!
A belated happy birthday to Crestmead PCYC who last month celebrated 3 years in the community. With the wide range of activities available for ALL age groups, come along and support the programmes on offer.
Well done to Sgt Mel Cowie and her team who have made such a difference to the area.
Also congratulations to Beth Henry who won the Employee Excellence award at the recent Logan West Leader Business Achiever Awards. Another winner at the awards was Crestmead Friendly Grocer in Julie Street, so well done to Baz Rizk & family & staff for their hard work & thanks for their support to NHW.
Congratulations to the Woodlands NHW group who held their launch in mid August this just goes to show more groups are starting up than closing! I would like to extend this invitation to you to come along to one of our meetings at the PCYC building and become an active part of YOUR community.
Take care Geoff
