Save a Life – Adopt a Greyhound!

Anyone who has encountered a greyhound will know that they are gentle and affectionate dogs who want nothing more than a soft bed and a loving home.

Tragically, the vast majority of racing greyhounds will never experience that loving home. The current inquiry into live baiting revealed that the Australian greyhound racing industry is responsible for the deaths of as many as 17,000 young dogs a year. If you have evr thought about offering a much needed home to one of these dogs, here are some insights into what to expect.

Greyhounds don’t need a lot of exercise. Greyhounds are built for speed, not endurance, so a short daily walk and some play time is usually enough to keep them happy and healthy.

Greyhounds don’t need loads of space to live in. Greyhounds are very space-efficient and they’ve even been voted as one of the best breeds for apartment living. As long as their sharp minds are kept active with lots of play time and interaction and they are walked regularly, a greyhound can make a perfect inner-city companion.

Greyhounds are indoor dogs. With hardly any body fat and a very fine coat, greyhounds are particularly susceptible to both hot and cold weather. Access to a warm, dry and safe area is vital at all times, and extreme measures (AKA greyhound pyjamas) may be required on especially cool days.

Greyhounds are cuddly. After a life confined in a small kennel, many rescued greys will relish the opportunity to be at your side or on your lap or couch or bed! They may be 90% legs but that doesn’t mean they don’t snuggle up as well as the next dog!

Greyhounds love to nap (and play!). Greyhounds are affectionately considered to be the laziest breed, however just like any dog, they love to play! A grey will bow and vocalise to let their human or animal friends know when they’re ready to have some fun. This usually ends with what are known as ‘zoomies’ - running around in circles and bowing - a hilarious and infectious display of joy that may only last 10 minutes before it’s time to nap again.

There are many greyhound rescue organisations working very hard to re-home greyhounds. If you’d like the company of a greyhound but are not ready to commit to a dog for its full life, please consider becoming a foster carer. Not only will you play a vital role in preparing a greyhound for its life as a family member, you’ll also be freeing up a space so that another dog can be rescued.

This year, I began working with a friend who has started her own business called CCA Creative, Caring for Carers.

Basically we facilitate training on the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) as well as providing weekends away for parents and carers of a loved one with a disability.

On the weekend retreats, we have a number of ‘icebreaker’ games to get conversation flowing and give people the opportunity to share with others, in similar circumstances, experiences they have dealt with over the years.

One particular ‘starter’ was “Name a defining moment in your life and how it changed you”. There was one answer that was given that kept going around my head for the rest of the weekend. One lady spoke of how her husband’s sudden death had brought clarity to her life and that as a result, she doesn’t stress or worry about one single thing anymore. The whole of life had been brought into perspective and given her a new way of looking at the world.

Wow. That really hit me. When you have faced a top of the list fear like losing a loved one, it makes the things we tend to worry about insignificant.

When I was thinking about the huge life lesson this woman had learnt, it struck me that we don’t have to wait for these experiences to happen to us, for us to learn from them. Certainly, we learn through our own experiences but we can also learn from others. What a wonderful way to honour the passing of someone else’s loved one by learning to appreciate and value the important things in life.

Far too often, we seem to only learn from things that happen to us - and sometimes not even then! Imagine if we actually really listened to advice given to us by a person who has lived through circumstances we haven’t had. Imagine if we then put that advice into practice. And then imagine what our lives might look like.

It seems to be that some of us do this quite well, while others of us must experience firsthand everything before learning from it. Personally, I hope I’m more often in the first category and that I learn from other’s lessons instead of having to go through everything myself. I think if we can do that, then when some of those hard lessons, such as losing a loved one, do happen, we are more prepared and equipped to deal with them. If we have learnt from another that nothing is more important than the ones we love and we cherish and appreciate them while they are with us, if the worst happens then we know we have truly loved them fully and won’t have as many regrets. And if the worst doesn’t happen, we get to live a life full of rich relationships and real connection with those we love.

Thanks to this special lady for sharing her story on our Carer weekend away. The lesson she offered us was the first of what I suspect, will be many lessons I can learn from the amazing men and women I’ll come into contact with through CCA Creative. And I’m not going to waste them.

Centenary Suburbs . Historical Society UPDATE BY DIANNE RUFFLES, SECRETARY

Complied by Claire Wilson, Centenary Suburbs Historical Society member

Picnics on the River In the early days of Brisbane, river trips were a very popular form of entertainment.

From Queensland Figaro and Punch 26 Nov 1908: On Sunday a party journeyed to Picnic Point, near Seventeen-mile Rocks, in the motor boat Pilot, where a very pleasant day was spent. A landing was effected, when lunch was partaken of. During the afternoon, various games were indulged in, and afterwards afternoon tea was served. The return journey was started at 8 o’clock, and the party arrived in town before 10 o’clock.

From The Queenslander 15 Jan 1927 (excerpts): Apart from yachting enthusiasts, one seldom hears much of the river Brisbane; yet every one Group of people from Ipswich, thought to be of its 210 miles unfolds glorious beauties, each differing in some respect picnicking at 17 Mile Rocks (1900-1910) - either a from the other.

There are portions of the river which remind one of the Thames at Band of Hope group or staff from T.C. Beirne’s.

Twickenham; other portions bring back memories of the Seine. Our (Picture courtesy Picture Ipswich, Ipswich City Council) cousins overseas may find in parts little stretches that remind them of the Tyne. The tortuous windings of the splendid stream afford aspects of its glimmering silver to all parts of the city and its environs.

Further up river, passing the South Brisbane reach, the beautiful stream makes a sharp turn to the right, and unfolds to view St. Lucia, the beautiful new site for the University. All along the route are beautiful homes with carefully tended gardens.

Still further up there are the charming picnicking grounds with graceful undulating lawns leading to the river bank – Fig Tree Pocket, Oxley Creek, Moggill Creek, and Seventeen Mile Rocks. The latter is a veritable paradise, unspoiled by the intrusion of ‘modern comforts’, where Nature herself has provided innumerable coigns of vantage about the formidable hills that offer enchantment, mystery, and romance. Caves abound in the hills and conjure up visions of smugglers and illicit stills, of damsels in distress and doughty deeds of derring do to those with imagination.

Come along and enjoy an afternoon of great entertainment, with Irish singer Bob McDowall and friends singing songs like When Irish Eyes are Smiling and Danny Boy, and some beautiful Irish dancing by dancers from The Crocker School of Irish Dance and indulge in a lovely afternoon tea of apple pie and cream.

The afternoon will be held on Saturday 7th May, 12.45pm for 1pm start at Twelve Apostles Jindalee Catholic Church hall, 111 Yalambee Rd Jindalee. Tickets are $20 each, pensioners $15, children $5, with all proceeds going to Christian Blind Mission and some funds going to Missionaries of the Poor.

Christian Blind Mission helps some of the most vulnerable people in the world — people with disabilities struggling against poverty. In May, they will be raising money to try and eliminate river blindness in Nigeria. They also help with famine relief and training communities to be self sufficient. A small amount of money pays for a cataract operation which sets someone free from blindness for life!

Missionaries of the Poor are an Order of Brothers who have established a school for poor children in Indonesia, providing the children with food and clothing as well as an education. All donated funds will go straight to the children.

Tickets for the afternoon tea are available by sending an email to Ellenie peterellenie16@gmail.com, phone 3376 5730 or SMS to 0405 061 299 or call Mary 3278 7889. There will also be tickets available at the door.

Road Safety over Easter Easter holidays are only a matter of a week away and many residents will be heading off for a well-earned break with, or without the kids. Sadly, driver fatigue, speeding and texting and other distractions are still among the biggest concerns to Queenslanders on our roads. That’s why with the Easter break, I think it is a timely reminder for residents to be safe on the roads. Whether you are going away on holidays, or just taking a day trip over the Easter break remember to take regular breaks, obey the speed limit and don’t text and drive. Together we can help make a positive difference to our state road toll. You can find more road safety tips and share your own at: www.jointhedrive.qld.gov.au Good News Lutheran School visits Queensland Parliament Earlier this month I welcomed Year 6 students from Good News Lutheran School to Queensland Parliament.

The students had a great morning learning about the parliament, the members and history, and also took part in a chamber role play with students assuming the positions of the Premier, Ministers and the Opposition.

I caught up with the students at morning tea and fielded many questions about my role in the parliament and how I work and deliver for the Mount Ommaney electorate. A very knowledgeable group, with some fantastic future leaders. I look forward to meeting more students in Parliament in the year ahead.

Please don’t forget that I am here to represent you. If there is anything I can assist with please don’t hesitate to contact my office on 3279 5137 or email mount.ommaney@parliament.qld.gov.au

Centenary Rowing Club under new management Centenary rowing club will change course after a new Management Committee was voted into office at the Club’s Annual General Meeting recently.

Former Queensland State rowing champion Rob Kennedy was announced as President and communicated the direction the Club would take in the future. “Whilst we welcome rowers of all ages, we will once again focus our greatest efforts on youth rowing, starting with children in Grade 7 and 8 and make sure these age groups form the core of the rowing program at Centenary,� Mr Kennedy said. “To achieve this, we need to continue to communicate our message with young school communities, help foster other new youth rowing programs and get more young people involved and excited about the sport.�

The Centenary Rowing Club has a state of the art facility for rowers and an upstairs function room which has premium views of the Brisbane River.

Mr Kennedy said, “The Centenary Rowing Club has a responsibility to assist other community organisations within the Centenary Suburbs and to make our Club more inclusive for those looking for a home to run their activities.�

Mr John Cox, who was voted in as the new Vice President, said the flags will be hoisted once again to show that the only youth rowing program of its type in Australia is once again open for business.

If you’re interested in your child joining in on the fun of rowing, contact President Rob on 0476 806 029.

Go Blue in April for autism awareness month April is Autism Awareness Month and Autism Queensland has launched its annual Go Blue for Autism campaign to raise funds and awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a lifelong developmental disability that affects one in 100 Australians.

Registrations are now open at www.goblueforautism.com.au for individuals, families, schools, workplaces and community groups across Queensland to take part in the Queensland-wide event by dressing in blue or hosting Go Blue events on their chosen day in April.

The Go Blue for Autism website also includes news and events from around Queensland as well as promotional materials for download, with social media driving much of the campaign each year.

Internationally, World Autism Awareness Day is observed on 02 April every year and marks the start of Autism Awareness Month in Australia and Go Blue for of Autism in Queensland. Autism Queensland’s CEO Rod Cameron said 110 Go Blue events were held across metropolitan and regional Queensland in 2015.

“Go Blue for Autism is now in its fifth year and 2016 is already off to a flying start with more than a dozen Go Blue events registered since the start of February,” he said.

“Anyone can Go Blue, either individually or as a group and their fundraising activities can be as simple as collecting a gold coin donation per person for dressing in blue or by selling Go Blue merchandise which we have available for purchase or by consignment.

“You can also organise a Go Blue fundraiser at your school, workplace, sports club or community group and donate the proceeds to Autism Queensland,” Mr Cameron said.

Autism prevalence in Australia is on the rise with the condition now more common than cerebral palsy, diabetes, deafness, blindness and leukaemia put together.

In Queensland, there are over 10,000 school aged children living with Autism. Autism Queensland run Queensland’s only autism-specific schools at Brighton and Sunnybank and delivers services from its centres, as well as Early Intervention Centres and outreach services which visit all schools in Queensland as well as providing support in the home. To connect with a local group of parents and carers, contact Jodie Kochman on 0419 744 701 or send an email to ipswich.asd.carers@gmail.com. The group meet every second Friday 9.30- 11.45am at Cr Bruce Casos office, Shop 2, 38 South Station Road Booval.

CENTENARY RSL Sub-Branch h Monthly Update

by Alan Worthington on

It may not seem it but it is almost 12 months since the service for the Centenary of the ANZAC landings at Gallipoli. April the 25th, ANZAC Day will again see the Centenary Suburbs RSL Sub Branch host the ANZAC Day service to be held at the Centenary War Memorial Gardens, corner of Arrabri Avenue and Dandenong Road Mt Ommaney.

Prior to the service, a march, commencing outside the Mt Ommaney Police Station on Loffs Road, will be conducted. Assembly will be at 7.45am with step off at 8.00am. The service will begin immediately after the march concludes. The parade of veterans will be led by the local Navy Cadets in uniform: the cadets will also provide the Cataflaque part and Flag Marshalls for the service. The actions of 25th April 1915 was the start of a long period of Australian involvement in the war with many casualties, just one example being the second battle of Villers Bretonneux which saw that town recaptured on 25th April 1918, the third anniversary of the Gallipoli landings. Australians suffered 1,445 casualties during that battle. As usual, prior to the service, the Kiwanis Club of Brisbane will provide a breakfast.

Involvement by the Navy cadets in the service gives the cadets the opportunity to be formally involved in the service. This experience is personally uplifting to each cadet, adding to the personal confidence gained through the other activities of the unit. If you would like further information about the service, contact the RSL at 3715 7524 or visit the office under the Centenary Bowls Club Monday, Wednesday or Friday morning.

Thanks to Centenary News, we have received many calls enquiring about our membership and the many activities our Club provides.

At our March General Meeting, we enjoyed Alan Worthington’s slides from his trip to Antarctica. The penguins look so funny playing around. Did you know that penguins change mating partners every year? I have never seen a room full of people sit and watch a show so entranced. They really enjoyed it.

At our April General Meeting on April 5th, we will start the day with our annual ‘Bring and Buy’ sale, followed by morning tea, a short business session, and then Terry Scott entertaining us to finish off a pleasant morning. Why don’t you come along and see what goes on? 9.30am at the Jindalee Bowls Club. Our coach trip to Noela’s Gardens at Donnybrook last month was fantastic. We had a full bus and a beautiful day to travel.

What are we doing during April? Well, we have our Steady Steps exercise class every Monday morning at the Centenary Uniting Church Hall at 9am where you can work off all the good eating from the weekend. We have a professional coach taking this group. Our Explorer trip to interesting places in and around Brisbane using public transport is on the third Tuesday, and at the moment only I know where we are going to end up. On the first two Thursdays in the month, you will find a large group up at the Mt Ommaney Library playing MahJong and chatting away.

We teach new players how to play this game. Then on the third Thursday in the month we have our Book Club at the Jindalee Bowls Club at 9am, and on Saturday we have our live theatre. This month we are off to the Sunnybank Theatre Group for a mystery play.

You can see our social life is very active and we would love to have you join with us. For more information please call me on 3279 1444 and leave your name and phone number on my answering machine and I will get back to you as soon as I get home from my current social activity.

Veterinary News

by Dr Scott Sc tt Snellgrove S ll BVSc (Qld)

Arthritis affects man and beast alike with advancing age certainly the major factor. Genetics and bio-mechanical factors are also involved since cartilage breakdown is, for a large part, the end result of production of destructive inflammatory enzymes.

Young pets already affected with hip dysplasia, cruciate ligament injuries or osteochondrosis of the elbows are at special risk because abnormal anatomy and mismatched joint sockets create uneven wear which speeds joint breakdown. In some cases, early corrective surgeries may help stabilise joints and pre-empt some changes.

Traditionally, anti-inflammatory painkillers have been a mixed blessing. While offering good short term comfort and increased mobility to help prevent wasting and muscle loss, some painkillers can also block the very cartilage repair processes that help, which may aggravate matters long term.

DR SCOTT SNELLGROVE & DR CLAIRE MICKLETHWAITE

It’s no fun watching your mate grow old and yet it may not be game over quite yet.

What to do then?

The first step is to minimise weight or even consider keeping your pet slightly underweight. Continued light exercise is recommended as far as the pet is able. Swimming helps avoid overloading sore joints.

Ask the vet about cartilage protective agents which will reduce pain by helping improve the Teflon coating of joints and increasing lubrication.

High doses of EPA, (a component of fish oil) will also help block destructive cartilage busting enzymes. It needs to be taken either as a highly fortified joint supplement or as an additive to special proprietary joint therapy foods.

Glucosamine sulphate is well known to humans and may help provide raw materials for joint repair. Evidence is still mixed and several months may be required to see full effects.

Green lipped mussel, sea cucumber and turmeric also have useful anti-inflammatory fatty acids (ETAs) with analgesic properties and are both safe and readily available as proprietary joint “powders”. These may be heat affected so a good quality and well stored product is advised.

Lastly, stem cells are now also being offered as a joint injection generally as an adjunct to surgery. They can boost cartilage production though it may not be of the same dense quality as the original.

For most dogs where quality of life and mobility is the priority, some analgesics will be required. When choosing these we try to balance the gut and kidneys safety with its cartilage sparing properties. If used properly, these non steroidal (NSAID) drugs allow dogs to stay active and thereby reduce weight, avoid further muscle wastage and the hard wiring of pain responses.

Joints still require some movement to maintain their range of motion and help pump nutrients through the cartilage. A once monthly tablet is now available for dogs requiring constant pain relief and is generally well tolerated.

For best results a combination of joint protectives, analgesics and weight loss treatments may be recommended.

Treatment is most effective when started at the first sign of problems or pre-emptively for those dogs at special risk. Very few dogs and cats after nine years of age won’t have a few joint issues but there is no need for them to suffer in silence.

!

in communication, innovation, collaboration and creative problem solving. I am really looking forward to each event initiated by the STEM team.

With the World Science Festival here in Brisbane this year it seemed like the perfect moment to launch the St John’s STEM Institute last week, starting with the annual STEM Forum for around 100 students from 5 local schools, including our sister school The Springfield Anglican College, hosted by our students and staff. The theme of this year’s Forum was Robotics and Nanotechnology and students were involved in workshops on Ozobots and Robotics conducted

by UQ Ambassadors. Our Guest Speaker for the day was Dr Tanveer Hussain, UQ, Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology. This was a very enjoyable day and a fine opportunity for sharing and networking between teachers and students in an area vital to future work for our students. We are very grateful to the University of Queensland, our partners in this venture.

The STEM Institute brings together teachers and students from Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics providing extension opportunities for students from both primary and secondary year levels to immerse themselves in these vital areas. St John’s STEM institute will foster a passion in the next generation of leaders to meet the challenges of the global society by developing their skills

As well, we are very excited to have six teams of the 80 chosen world-wide in the finals for the Conrad Spirit of Innovation Challenge, at the Kennedy Space Centre, Florida, USA. Twenty six students will travel to NASA in April to present their project solutions in a range of areas such as Aeronautics and Aviation, Energy and the Environment, Technology and Security and Health. Congratulations to our Future Thinkers who will represent St John’s, the only Australian school at this prestigious event for the second year in a row.

For more information about the St John’s STEM Institute and how it can benefit your child’s future please visit our website or email our Registrar, Janette Collins jcollins@sjac.qld.edu.au
