December Newsletter
I hope that everyone enjoyed time with family and friends over the Christmas period.
Unfortunately six drink drivers were caught on our roads, if you are going to drink alcohol, don’t drive -it
is simple.
We had two crashes within our area this month, luckily both were relatively minor. The majority of crashes
are caused by driver error, either through speed, inattention (including mobile phones) drink or drug
driving or fatigue. If we pay attention whilst driving or anticipate what other road users may do, we could
probably avoid over 90% of crashes. We catch people speeding every day. The message that speed kills is
just not getting through. Manage your time, leave earlier to prevent rushing, watch your speed, use cruise
control if you have it. Think about the lives of those who would be affected if you or someone else were
seriously injured or killed, just to get somewhere five minutes quicker.
Stop signs mean you must stop on or before the line. If you do not stop at stop signs and get caught, you
could face a fine of $341 and 3 points. Stop does not mean slow down, look and go. You must come to a
full and complete stop before proceeding through the junction. Please bear this in mind as we will continue
to monitor this.
We continue to see far too much domestic violence in our community. Consider the impact this has on
children in the household. For assistance with regard to this, please contact: Domestic Violence

The Babinda Police Team wish you all a happy and prosperous new year for 2015, and we look forward to
working with you all, helping to make Babinda just a little better, remember if you think we should know
something give us a call don’t assume we know because you know. Your information will be kept
confidential. Call the office on 40671120, or Crimestoppers on 1800 333000

AMBULANCE NEWS
Welcome back – hope you had a good Christmas.
THE DANGERS OF PARADISE
Christmas day we had a lady cut her mouth and ear as well as busting up her knee at
Josephine Falls – fortunately she was not too badly hurt. Also there was a person fall off
the falls on New Years Eve during the day who sounded like they would be in a really bad
way but fortunately only had some moderate injuries not life threatening. Not to be outdone
the Boulders had a nasty accident in the last fortnight where a student got some nasty
lacerations and could have been much worse.
The important message is to be safe this holidays. Accidents happen at the most unexpected
times. If you or your family are at the beach, the creeks or on the roads take it easy and
play it safe. Another thing to remember in this extreme heat is to keep your water levels
up. Keep an eye on elderly neighbours or family as they often don’t drink enough fluids
and can become dehydrated quite quickly.
Until next time,
Keep safe

Lamb forequarters with garlic crushed potatoes
They Say…
Ingredients:
It is not necessary to believe in God to be a
good person. In a way, the traditional notion
of God is outdated. One can be spiritual but
not religious. It is not necessary to go to
church and give money – for many, nature
can be a church. Some of the best people in
history did not believe in God, while some of
the worst deeds were done in His name.
4 lamb forequarters
150 ml soy sauce
100 ml sweet chilli sauce
100 ml sprite
2 tablespoons garlic
3 medium potatoes
1 tablespoon butter
Pope Francis
50 ml of cream
Things to Help Lift Your Mood:
Sunlight & Exercise
Eat Spicy Food
Pat a Puppy
Perform a Random Act of Kindness
Smile Smile Smile
Just Joking...
Method:
Marinate forequarters with soy, sweet chilli, sprite and
tablespoon of garlic for 24 hours.
Preheat oven at 180 degrees
Bake forequarters with foil for 1 hour
Wash potatoes and boil for 20 mins (until they are soft)
Strain potatoes and return to empty pot, add butter,
cream and 1 tablespoon of garlic
Crush potato mix with fork lightly creating texture
Strain baked forequarters keeping sauce in a pot
Reduce sauce until it is a thick consistency
Serve crushed potatoes with forequarters and dribble
sauce over the top
Enjoy!

We Are Survivors
For those born before 1940
We were born before television, before penicillin, polio shots, frozen foods, Xerox, contact
lenses, videos and the pill. We were before radar, credit cards, split atoms, laser beams and
ballpoint pens, before dish-washers, tumble driers, electric blankets, air conditioners,
drip-dry clothes…and before man walked on the moon.
We got married first and then lived together (how quaint can you be?). We thought
�fast-food’ was what you ate in Lent, a �Big Mac’ was an oversized raincoat and �crumpet’
we had for tea. We existed before house husbands, computer dating and �sheltered
accommodation’ was where you waited for a bus.
We were before day care centres, group homes and disposable nappies. We never heard of
FM radio, tape decks, artificial hearts, word processors, or young men wearing earrings.
For us �time sharing’ meant togetherness, a �chip’ was a piece of wood or fried potato,
�hardware’ meant nuts and bolts and �software’ wasn’t a word.
Before 1940, �made in Japan’ meant junk, the term �making out’ referred to how you did in
your exams, �stud’ was something that fastened a collar to a shirt and �going all the way’
meant staying on a double-decker bus to the terminus. In our day, cigarette smoking was
�fashionable’, �grass’ was mown, �coke’ was kept in the coalhouse, a �joint’ was a piece of
meat you ate on Sundays and �pot’ was something you cooked in. �Rock Music’ was a fond
mother’s lullaby, �Eldorado’ was a ice-cream, a �gay person’ was the life and soul of the
party, while �aids’ just meant beauty treatment or help for someone in trouble.
We who were born before 1940 must be a hardy bunch when you think of the way in which
the world has changed and the adjustments we have had to make. No wonder there is a
generation gap today…BUT…By the grace of God …we have survived!!

Aromatherapy and Christmas
Christmas is a special time to delight the senses and apart from the aromas of food I cannot think of a
better way to enhancing the experience other than the use of Aromatherapy. Instead of using
chemical sprays, make your own aerosols or place blends into your diffusers and oil burners. Create
a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere that will make it your best ever. Here’s a selection of traditional
aromas, I’ve chosen specifically because they all smell great individually, and blend well together to
create truly aromatic season of goodwill!
ESSENTIAL OILSPine- Sometimes an artificial tree is preferable to avoid getting all those prickly pine needles
everywhere. To give life to your tree and to give an uplifting feel in the room place a few drops of pine
and grapefruit essential on cotton-wool balls and hide them inside the tree this will really lift the
spirits of everyone in the room. Cinnamon- If you’re struggling to concentrate on that long list of
jobs you still have to do, diffusing cinnamon essential oil helps to focus the mind and strengthen your
resolve. Also great for boosting flagging energy levels especially after all that Xmas shopping!
Frankincense -Frankincense is the perfect essential oil for the Christmas celebrations. It is a
wonderfully relaxing oil and perfect for keeping you chilled during the hectic celebrations. Also great
to calm and soothe over excited children.
CLOVE-The classic blend of sweet orange oil and clove bud in your vaporizer creates an instant
welcoming atmosphere. Sweet orange - uplifting and refreshing gives that extra touch that gives all
the oils suggested that extra boost for a perfect blend.
Ginger -Great for when you’re finding yourself wanting to head for the couch when you should be
preparing your Xmas celebrations. Ginger oil brings clarity, strength and motivation. Just a few drops
of bergamot added will soon get you back on your feet. Nutmeg -essential oil has a stimulating
action on the brain, combating mental fatigue. Sweet orange -The uplifting and refreshing aroma of
sweet orange oil is the perfect choice to blend with any of the above oils it gives that extra touch that
gives the perfect blend. Whatever you plan to do during your holidays, put your essential oils to use in
a creative way at home, you will enjoy a relaxing and peaceful, aromatic Christmas to
purchase any essential oils or for Xmas vouchers.
Phone- Sharon 0438676607.
WATCH OUT FOR YOUR NEIGHBOURS
As the cyclone season approaches please make a quick visit to any of our neighbours who are
elderly or have a disability.
Elderly people are less likely to read newspapers to find out what services are available and are
also more likely to wait in silence for help.

BABINDA HOSPITAL
MPHS NEWS
Walking group has finalised for this year,
ending with the group having an early morning get together for breakfast. Staff completed annual assessments to review walkers
improvements in endurance, strength and
balance. Staff and walkers alike would urge
more people to join them next year when it
recommences on 19/01/2015, every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday at 7am.
Just a reminder for when you
require any medications. An
appointment needs to be
made to see a Doctor to have
your scripts written. Scripts
can not be supplied by phoning your order through to the
office. Please take notice of
when your scripts need
renewing and
phone early for
your Doctors
appointment.
With the hot weather well
and truly here, please remember to keep well by being
hydrated, drink water, fruit
juices and even jelly. Also
keeping as cool as you can.
Christmas Carols at the hospital was a jolly night with lots of
singing which was led by the choir. It was really nice to see
so many of our residents family join us. I am unable to
display all of the photo’s taken, however, below is a small
glimpse of the night. A lovely supper was provided, some by
our kitchen and some kindly donated. Many thanks to all the
organising provided by Mrs. Snitchzling and a small group
of loyal volunteers. I should mention that the kind acts
throughout the year by these selfless volunteers enriches the
lives of our residents and hospital inpatients alike. Many,
many thanks go to them.
All of us at Babinda Hospital would like to wish everyone a
very happy and fulfilling New Year.

Info Centre Illuminations
Welcome 2015, let it be a joyful & peaceful year.
Our powder room is VERY popular, it never ceases to amaze me how some people continue to
use their mobile phones the whole time they’re in the room.
Although it has been a comparatively dry season, be aware that National Parks regularly close
various parks for the wet season. If you are planning a camping trip, best to check with them first.
National Parks also advise bush walkers/hikers to consult the Bureau of Meteorology
www.bom.gov.au for current weather conditions.
Recently had a couple who planned to do the Broken Nose, Bartle Frere summit, Goldsborough
Valley, and the Walsh’s Pyramid hikes on successive days. Keen hikers? No - in training for the
Kokoda Trail. I reminded them of the above (BOM). Incidentally, the same couple commented
that they found very useful information on our web site and that it was a good, easily navigated
site. Kudos to those who created and update it.
Just a reminder that Rotary Park will be closed to campers from 31st January 2015 for approximately 6 weeks while Council kindly upgrades the camping facilities. Please contact Council on
40443044 for further details.
