CROWS NEST POLICE REPORT with Sgt GREG DAWES Home security warning CRIME: August 30 - An unknown offender attempted to gain entry into a property on John Street, Crows Nest by removing louvres at the rear of the residence. No entry was gained. What is concerning is that the occupants of the address were home at the time, so I implore everyone to ensure their houses are locked at all times, even if you are inside. Between August 30 and September 1, police attended a property on Anduramba Road, Crows Nest where an alleged quantity of stolen property was located. The male offender, 28, was charged with four counts of stealing, four counts of receiving tainted property, two counts of possessing tainted property, one count of authority required to possess explosives and one count of disqualified driving. The offender was charged through the Toowoomba Watchhouse and will be appearing before the Toowoomba Magistrates Court on September 27. Between August 31 and September 7, unknown offenders gained entry into the Crows Nest Swimming Pool complex on Curnow Street, Crows Nest. The offenders damaged a water pump on the property before leaving the scene. On September 7, a male 52, was caught stealing items from a property of the New England Highway, Crows Nest. The offender was issued a Notice to Appear for an offence of enter premises an commit an indictable offence, and will be appearing before the Toowoomba Magistrates Court on October 26. TRAFFIC: September 2 - A silver Mazda utility was intercepted on the New England Highway, Crows Nest. Checks conducted revealed that the vehicle was both unregistered and uninsured. The male driver, 58, was issued with traffic infringement notices for the offences. There were 23 traffic infringement notices issued in the division for the past fortnight. Women encouraged to get out and get active Women and girls of all ages are being encouraged to get out and get active with Toowoomba Regional Council’s new Thrive project. To coincide with Women’s Health Week, more than 200 free and low-cost activities are being made available from September through to May 2018 for women and girls living in the Toowoomba Region. Deputy Mayor Carol Taylor said the initiative was about empowering women to have a go at a range of fitness and outdoor recreation activities they may not have tried before. “Research tells us more than 40 per cent of adult women in Queensland are not achieving the recommended 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on most days of the week,” she said. “TRC secured additional funding from the State Government to provide more than 200 free or low-cost options for women and girls of all ages to get active. “Toowoomba Regional Council worked with the Queensland Government to secure more than $35,000 from the Government’s Get Out, Get Active grant to provide various fitness and outdoor recreation programs specifically christian comment The value of a $300 dollar egg A little while ago I decided that it would be good for the kids and I if we had our own chooks. Our first egg arrived and I have just calculated the cost: One chook pen @ $148 plus freight - $200, three chooks @ 1$6.50 each - $49.50, one bag of mash - $18, one watering dish - $25. Total cost $292.50 Result to date - one egg It will take a long time to recoup the investment made in our chooks. Most of my friends who have chooks have said that keeping them is a lifestyle not a financial decision. For me investing in our chooks is about the long term benefits. Three chooks at three eggs a day = 21 eggs a week. Optimistically. that’s a bit less than $10 return a week and that’s assuming they lay consistently each day. At that rate, it will take me almost a year to repay my initial investment and it is likely that it will take much longer. for women and girls across the Toowoomba region,” Deputy Mayor Cr Taylor said. The female-only classes include yoga, hula hooping, mindful walks, Zumba, Konga, kickboxing and strength classes, along with a range of outdoor recreation opportunities including bushwalking, mountain biking, kayaking and archery tag. TRC will be offering new Women on Wheels workshops to provide women with a comfortable park environment where they can build their knowledge, skills, and confidence to ride more,” Crr Taylor said. Children will also be encouraged to get active by chasing kittens, dragons, fairies, dinosaurs and aliens at Magical Park digital fantasy lands across the region during school holidays. Minister for Sport Mick de I know my investment in spending time with the kids and them learning about how to care for animals is priceless. Although the initial financial cost may be high, there will be ongoing rewards. I think $300 might end up looking quite cheap. There is a passage from James one of the NT writers that reminds us of the power of something small. But, our words can have an enormous influence on people’s lives and if chosen wisely can open up possibilities that we may never have expected. - James 3:4,5 (J B Phillips) Ships too, for all their size and the momentum they have with a strong wind behind them, are controlled by a very small rudder according to the course chosen by the helmsman. The human tongue is physically small, but what tremendous effects it can boast. - Pastor Chris Gribble, Church of Christ. Brenni believes this initiative will help break down barriers preventing females from becoming active. “This funding is the largest of its kind in Queensland and will provide the strongest launch pad for women and girls to foster life-long participation in sport and active recreation,” Minister de Brenni said.
