Jeans for Genes |
| Jeans for Genes is a major fundraiser of the Children's Medical Research Institute. Chances are you probably know someone who has a genetic disease, because one in twenty children are born with some form of genetic fault. There are children with leukaemia, muscular dystrophy, genetic defects and many other disorders. The scientists at the Children's Medical Research Institute are working to try to prevent these diseases before they occur in our children, or where that is not possible to develop better treatments. |

Healthy Bones Week |
| Dairy Australia and Osteoporosis Australia present National Healthy Bones Week a national joint initiative for the past 15 years, highlighting the important role of dairy in the development and maintenance of healthy bones and prevention of osteoporosis. A nation‐wide campaign, National Healthy Bones Week reminds all Australians that they need to take care of their ‘inside’ bone health for long term well being. “Consuming enough calcium for building and maintaining bones is critical throughout all stages of life. Dairy is a great source of calcium and when combined with vitamin D and exercise, is all you need everyday for keeping bones healthy.” says Naseema Sparks, CEO of Osteoporosis Australia. “A high percentage of children aged 9‐16 years are not meeting daily calcium requirements*. And, research shows that while 52 percent of adults believe that three or more serves of dairy is a healthy daily target, only 10 per cent are actually consuming enough^,” said Glenys Zucco, Dietitian at Dairy Australia. “It’s straightforward, just three serves of dairy everyday provides most people with a large proportion of the recommended daily intake for calcium – a serve is equal to 250ml milk, a 200g tub of yogurt or 40g of cheese,” she added. To help Australians learn about having a bone friendly diet during National Healthy Bones Week, the following activities and resources will be available: • Fun and informative posters available free for display in medical and community centres, schools, offices, gyms, fitness centres and other locations around the nation, reminding everyone, ‘It’s what’s inside that counts’. • An engaging and interactive website for all ages containing expert advice and information, nutritional tips, a calcium ‘cowculator’ and recipe suggestions. • An innovative national primary schools educational competition entitled ‘Want to build strong characters?’ that invites all Australian primary schools to create a character that they think best represents National Healthy Bones Week. National Healthy Bones Week is a time for Australians in all phases of life to reflect on their and their family’s nutrition intake and bone health. |

Traffic Detour |
| Traffic on the Midland Highway at Brighton is now being diverted as part of the next phase in the construction of the $176 million Brighton Bypass. From 5 June, the Midland Highway between Crooked Billet Drive to just north of the Brighton Industrial Estate will be closed to allow construction of the bypass on the existing highway. Traffic is being diverted around the back of the Brighton Transport Hub site, on the newly-built Glenstone Road. "The diversion will be in place for about 12 months, and has been chosen to keep traffic flowing with minimum inconvenience and delays for road users,” a spokesperson said. Although the diversion road is about 1.7 km longer than the existing route, travel time should only be increased by a couple of minutes. The speed limit on the diversion road will be 60 km/h, and a railway level crossing with boom gates will be in operation at the southern end of the diversion near Crooked Billet Drive. |
