                • Living Life With Loz – 09072024

                  On a lively Tuesday morning at the Breakky Club, hosts Damo, DJ Sparky and Loz discuss the joys of celebrating life, even when it involves a bit of indulgence. With birthdays being a recurring theme, Sparky confesses to feeling sluggish after indulging in a delicious cheesecake with a coffee liqueur twist. Despite this, he’s committed to his health and has been hydrating and maintaining his usual protein-rich diet.

                  Loz, ever the motivator, reassures Sparky and the listeners that it’s okay to enjoy special moments and treats. “You can still have your cake and eat it too,” she emphasizes, highlighting the importance of balance and guilt-free enjoyment. Loz introduces the concept of harm minimization, suggesting freezing leftover cake to savor it over time rather than consuming it all at once.

                  This leads to a broader discussion about maintaining a healthy lifestyle without depriving oneself of life’s pleasures. Loz promotes her program, Loz Life, which aims to help individuals achieve their weight loss goals while enjoying occasional treats. The program, accessible at LozLife.com, offers personalized dietary plans starting at just $29.95 per week. Loz explains that participants can expect to lose between half a kilo to a kilo per week over a 12-week period, all without needing to exercise, though results may vary.

                  Damo attests to the effectiveness of the program, sharing his success and newfound energy, even after enjoying cheesecake. Loz Life is about making sustainable changes and living a balanced life, proving that you can celebrate and stay on track with your health goals.

                  Listeners are encouraged to visit LozLife.com to learn more and start their journey towards a healthier, happier life.

                • Crime Watch – School’s back – 08072024

                  In this week’s Crime Watch segment on West Bremer Radio, Senior Constable Karen Sheedy joins us to discuss the importance of road safety as children return to school after their holidays. With increased pedestrian and traffic activity around schools, Constable Sheedy emphasizes the need for motorists to slow down and be vigilant.

                  School zones are actively enforced in Ipswich, with standard operating times from 7am to 9am and 2pm to 4pm. Some schools maintain a 40km/h speed limit throughout the entire day from 7am to 4pm. Drivers are reminded to be mindful of parking limits, yellow edge lines, no parking or stopping zones, loading zones, and school crossings to ensure children’s safety.

                  Police will continue monitoring road safety activities, especially during the busy pickup and drop-off times. Constable Sheedy advises drivers to avoid distractions and adhere to the 40km/h speed limit in school zones. For more information on back-to-school road safety, visit the Department of Transport and Main Roads website.

                  If you have any information for the police, contact PoliceLink at 13 14 44 or provide information online using the suspicious activity form. Crime information can also be reported anonymously via Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000 or online.

                  The key message is clear: slow down around schools, observe parking limits and school crossings, and ensure the safety of our children as they head back to school. Tune in next week for more updates on Crime Watch.

                                            • Resources Needed: The council will need to allocate additional resources and staff for this responsibility. They are currently seeking continued support from the state government, which will provide fire ant baits until June 30, 2026.

                                                  In this episode of the State of Play on West Bremer Radio, we catch up with Jennifer Howard MP, the representative for the seat of Ipswich, to discuss the latest initiatives and updates for the new financial year. Starting from July 1st, residents will benefit from several cost-of-living measures, including a $1,000 reduction on electricity bills, additional discounts for seniors, and $200 sports vouchers for kids. Free flu vaccinations are also available, along with upcoming reductions in car registration fees and public transport fares.

                                                  Jennifer Howard MP highlights the recent visit by Deputy Premier Cameron Dick, who discussed the record funding allocated to health, education, community safety, and infrastructure in Ipswich. Additionally, the Goodness Enterprises, formerly Tivoli Social Enterprises, celebrated their 40th anniversary with a successful fundraising event featuring Tim Costello AM as a special guest speaker.

                                                  Ipswich has received over $50,000 from the Active Women and Girls program, supporting various local sports clubs to promote female participation. Jennifer emphasizes the importance of such programs in fostering community spirit and encouraging physical activity among women and girls.

                                                  Project Booyah, another initiative supported by Jennifer Howard MP, recently celebrated the graduation of six young participants. Since its reintroduction in 2018, the program has helped over 100 young people, with 87% going on to employment or further education. This program, along with the fee-free TAFE initiative, is crucial in providing accessible education and training opportunities, particularly in high-demand trades like construction, plumbing, and electrical work.

                                                  Finally, Jennifer Howard MP discusses the funding allocated to improve bus services in Ipswich, linking growing suburbs to the city and addressing the changing public transport needs. With these positive developments, Jennifer emphasizes the importance of spreading good news and supporting the community during tough times. She reminds everyone to take advantage of the free flu vaccinations to stay healthy.

                                                  Tune in to hear more about these initiatives and how they are positively impacting the Ipswich community.

We discuss the Women’s Sports Academy, founded by world champion weightlifter Katrina Robinson, and Tracy “Tracker” from Willowbank, who is known for her rugby league prowess. Their mission is to empower girls and women in sport by offering strength and conditioning training to enhance athletic performance.

                                                  Recently, they held a school holiday clinic at the PCYC in Ipswich, featuring sessions with the Brazilian rugby league captain, Maria Graf. The event included various strength and conditioning exercises, including boxing sessions, aimed at helping participants improve their physical capabilities.

                                                  Katrina and Tracy plan to host more of these empowering events throughout the school holidays, encouraging young female athletes to excel. For more details, you can visit their Facebook pages or reach out to Councillor Augustine. This initiative is a testament to the dedication to fostering community spirit and supporting women in sports in Ipswich.
