Much needed service reopened in Jindalee Jindalee News had been an icon in the Centenary Suburbs since 1988, till the floods and other unfortunate circumstances took their toll and the business was forced to close down. The little shopping centre on Curragundi Road had been the life of Jindalee for many years. Jindalee News has once again reopened the doors of this beautiful store. “We have received a really warm welcome from the community and we want to make sure that we can serve the community to the best of our ability and at the best possible prices,” said Sangeeta, the new owner of Jindalee News. The shop looks bright, beautiful and inviting with a focus on Australian products, away from the queues and crowds of major shopping centres. Parking at this shopping centre is never a problem. Jindalee News is specialises in ‘Back To School’ stationery and also stock GO CARDS – Recharge and New, as well as all the normal newsagency products and services. You’ll also find gifts for all occasions, art and craft, children’s activities and educational toys, passport photos, gift cards and many other products. They hope to soon also have an Australia Post point, JP services and many other services and products. Even though the shop has only been open a few months, it has already been short-listed by Queensland Newspapers for its “Taste Cookbook display” competition. It is shops like this with a positive focus on trade and faith in the community that will help ensure the revival of this shopping village and services to Centenary suburbs. ‘Chase the Rider’ and ‘Buttercream and Fondant’ are already huge attractions and a boutique florist ‘Jindalee Garden’ has also just opened. All that is needed is a bakery and a pharmacy and the shopping centre should be ready to fly.

Personally Speaking with Susannah Friis One of my earliest memories of moving to Queensland from Tasmania when I was 14 was the storms. Tasmania just doesn’t get the same sort of storms that Queensland does, well, not in my memory anyway. Unaccustomed to the heavy stickiness of the air, even from early in the morning, I soon grew to expect, and dread, the inevitable afternoon storm. I did get used to it though and would happily dance around in the rain after all the thunder and lightning had passed over, enjoying the brief respite from the heat and humidity before it quickly built up again. We’ve already had our fair share of storms this storm season and are probably in for more before it’s through. Since the major flooding event of January 2011, I must confess to feeling more wary of storms than I used to be. I think, too, the warnings are more frequent and urgent sounding, due to people being caught off guard previously. When you live in an area where storms are likely, it seems to me that people go one of two ways: they are used to it and not particularly fazed by them; or their fear increases and they will go to great lengths not to be out in them and have pantries full of UHT milk and non perishables. It’s an interesting parallel with how we cope with the storms of life. Some of us, after experiencing setbacks will pick ourselves up and forge forward, others will retreat and avoid all risk-taking they can. And, as always, balance is the key. Just as it is dangerous to purposely drive into a storm and try to cross flooded roads, it’s a dangerous way to live if we draw no lessons from life’s setbacks and ‘storms’ and learn to temper our responses. It’s true, too, that cowering inside during a storm and not even entertaining the idea of venturing out 48 hours either side of a storm, is not rational, just as living in fear of what disaster may befall us, and refusing to take risks in life is no way to live. In life, we will face storms of all sorts. Some may loom over us, bearing down, dark and foreboding from the horizon and turn into just a few drops of rain and a couple of rumbles of thunder. Other times, we can be pummelled by hail unexpectedly. And yet other times, we can clearly see what’s coming, hear the weatherman’s warning and be fully prepared. The trick, I think, with life’s storms, is to be as prepared as we can be, yet not fearful. Significant storms, like the loss of a loved one, taken either suddenly or through disease and suffering can be prepared for by how we live our life and how well we maintain our relationships. Keeping short accounts, telling people how we really feel - both positive and negative, living in the moment and appreciating each individual’s unique gifts that they bring to our lives help us be prepared. How are you going to approach the storms of life as we venture forth into a new year?

Puppy preschool - is it important? Dogs, like humans, are a highly social species. Its one of the reasons we get along so famously. Humans and dogs were drawn together since our prehistory, joined perhaps in a dance like Orion and his celestial hunting dog Sirius. Dogs were extensions of ourselves and became guards, hunters, herders and companions. They, more than any other species, are expert at reading our emotions. Research suggests the wolf-dog probably influenced human development just as much as we shaped them and it is a slightly humbling thought that your dog understands more of human language than you understand his. Just like humans, young dogs have a sensitive early social and bonding period. In canines, it’s the time from weaning to about 14 weeks. During this time they literally develop their comfort zone exploring new smells, tastes and interactions. It is important these interactions are friendly not threatening. Nevertheless, most of those nervous bite-y or fearful dogs we see around are generally not a product of physical mistreatment as people generally assume. Mostly they have had too little or too narrow socialisation. Comfort zones can be quite specific. Some breeds or individuals are naturally more trusting or wary than others but in a nutshell, if you want a well socialized non-neurotic adult dog, it needs to be exposed to a variety of dogs, people, cats, vacuum cleaners, cars, thunderstorms etc in a fairly low key, non threatening way and as early as practical. Get it used to having its ears, mouth and paws handled. Open her mouth and pop a treat in. If you only ever open a pets mouth to administer a worm tablet ..only ever touch her paws to clip the nails or only ever touch her ears to pour ointment in...well, they‘re are gonna learn to run the other way! The golden socialisation time for dogs does intersect with vaccination schedules but modern vaccines allow earlier coverage. Most puppy preschools accept pups from the first vaccination, that is 6-8 weeks onward. In fact, if you wait till all vaccinations are completed you will miss the boat. Puppy preschool then is a reward based fun place for your dog to learn essential social skills in a safe environment. Other areas covered include toilet training, management of behaviours like barking, digging, chewing and mouthing and safety around children. Families are encouraged to attend. Set your puppy up for success. It is in fact the most important period you will ever spend with your dog...period!

The song “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas� was true at the November meeting of the QCWA Centenary sub branch meeting at the Mt Ommaney library. The talented ladies decorated Christmas wreaths in all shapes, sizes and colours of red, green, gold, silver. Lights, ribbons, sparkling holly, poinsettias, berries were all used to make fabulous creations. The next meeting of the sub branch at the library will be on February 3 at 6.30pm. Please put the date in your diary and join members for a meeting of fellowship, networking and fun.
Keep man’s best friend cool this summer The summer heat is approaching which means scorching temperatures for not only us humans, but for our beloved companions and surrounding wildlife. Each year the RSPCA receives hundreds of distress calls about animals - mostly dogs - left in cars in the heat. While owners are shopping, running errands, or chatting, their animals are left in an uncomfortable and life threatening situation. Even if parked in the shade with the windows cracked it can still be a killer to dogs. The temperature inside a car, in the shade, can exceed 40 degrees, while a car parked in the sun can double within just 12 minutes, reaching up to 75 degrees. A dog left in that heat will suffer horribly and die by the time the temperature reaches 55 degrees. Similarly, our wildlife can have a tough time coping in extreme heat conditions. Something as simple as putting out shallow containers of water can help birds, reptiles, and small animals cool down. If you see a pet left in an unattended vehicle, notify centre management, if in a shopping centre carpark, immediately with the car rego number and then contact RSPCA Qld 1300 ANIMAL (1300 264 625) or DPI Call Centre (13 25 23). If you see sick or injured wildlife please call RSPCA Qld 1300 ANIMAL (1300 264 625). For more information please visit www.rspcaqld.org.au.

Centenary Christmas Carols in the park
AWARD AWARD--WINNING WINNING
PATIOS CARPORTS CARPORTS PERGOLAS
'21¡7 PAY 7OO MUCH ! The Kiwanis Club of Brisbane again provided strong support to the annual Centenary ‘Carols in the Park’ on Sunday 7th December 2014. The event, organised by the Centenary Salvos, is a very popular community activity that just gets bigger every year. Estimates of the attendance at Peter Lightfoot Oval last year were close to 5,000 people, many of whom were children. The Kiwanis team rolled up their sleeves and cooked sausages and provided drinks at a modest price to help the assembled crowd get into good voice for the Carol singing and enjoy the Nativity program with live animals and later watch some spectacular fireworks. “It was hot work for the 12 Kiwanis members involved but when we were able to lift our heads from the job at hand it was wonderful to see so many people enjoying the night. Camels, Carols and lots of children, wide eyed in anticipation about ‘Christmas to come’, and with big smiles on their faces. It was a very special night.â€? Funds raised by Kiwanis on the night will be donated to the Centenary Salvos to help offset the cost of this popular and successful community event next year.

Jindalee Lions Club update by Irene Dunning ex-Lioness & Project Chairman Each year the Jindalee Lions Club prepares care packages for the elderly in the Centenary Suburbs. In late 2014, we spent many hours shopping, asking for donations (which were forthcoming) and using the Forest Lake Community House to pack the parcels. There were too many items to try and do this project in a home. At one stage it reminded me of the flood items which were stored in my home with shopping bags everywhere. We looked at powders, shower gels, Christmas cards, bon bons, shampoo/conditioner packs, hand towels and washers, small note pads (very pretty), biros and the list goes on. This year the ‘goodies’ were packed into Christmas bags and it was an interesting exercise. President Glenda and John delivered the first group to the National Seniors that afternoon and Glenda and I delivered the others to the Centenary Meals on Wheels. It is quite wonderful to see the appreciation on the faces of these organisations who deliver them to their members and clients. They tell us it really makes the day of the residents who receive the packages. There are times when one day is just special - of course, in the life of a volunteer, there are many special days, but some have just a little more meaning. Having just finished the care parcels for the elderly in the Centenary area, we set out to complete the Fire Poster Competition. This is a competition where students draw their interpretation of how to escape a house fire. This year, under the chairmanship of Lion Anne Boness, we used the Year 4 students at the Jindalee State School. The posters were then judged by members of the club and decisions were made to present the winners with their trophies at the school. President Glenda, Lion Jack and myself went to the school and enjoyed a pleasant time. To make this time a little different we also brought along a cake for all the students which went down well. We than proceeded to present the four winners with their Firemen Trophies and then the Perpetual Trophy was handed over to the school for the next 12 months. The Jindalee Club has been involved with this project for many years and it is always a pleasure to finalise a Childrens’ project such as this. To complete our day, we proceeded to KMart where we selected gifts to be placed on their Christmas Tree. Because there is always an older child who is in need two of the gifts were gift vouchers so they could select their own gift. Altogether we had a very satisfying day knowing we had assisted someone less fortunate and gave awards to others. If you would like to participate in these type of projects or join our Lions Club, you would be very welcome to attend one of our meetings. As Secretary/Membership Chairman, I can be contacted on 3372 9886 or 0407 880 756.

I hope everyone had a safe and happy, holiday season and that you are all feeling refreshed and looking forward to a great 2015. For many families in the local area the arrival of the new year means an important transition for many of our young people. The youngest will be taking a big step by starting prep and year seven students will experience a big change with their transition into high school. I am sure many of you are feeling a little apprehensive and probably a bit excited, just as I am with my son, starting year seven at Centenary High School. Education is so important for all children and the LNP Governments strong plan to deliver quality education has already produced results. Our ‘Great Results Guarantee’ has seen additional funds invested in numeracy and literacy programs, and this has produced a significant improvement in the 2014, year three NAPLAN results, our best ever. To boost teaching quality our ‘Great Teachers = Great Results’ strategy added an extra $537 m to the education budget, key methods being; teacher reviews, scholarships and professional development. To help create an even more positive learning environment, $2.5m saw the backlog of building maintenance issues cleared at our local schools. This, as well as other education initiatives, is all part of a Strong Plan to deliver the schools our children deserve. Finally, with schools returning soon, we all need to remember to slow down when driving in school zones. It is also a good time to prompt students to continue to use the school crossings and cross roads safely. The flashing lights installed at the majority of our local schools are a helpful reminder to take extra care in those areas and to help our children stay safe.

Centenary Suburbs . Historical Society UPDATE BY LYNDA YOUNG, VICE PRESIDENT
Living in the Centenary suburbs in the 1800s – part 5 James Henry became well known in the Seventeen Mile Rocks area after his father, Robert, had moved to Kenmore. By 1890 he owned 60 acres of farmland, mostly in the area of Rocks Riverside Park, as it is known today. James had a market garden and a small dairy herd on the fertile riverside flats. He built the family home high on the ridge overlooking the river. James married Mary Ann Kilpatrick, a dressmaker from Dalby, originally from Tyronne in Ireland, in 1871. They had eight children including twins Robert and Jack, who helped their father on the farm. James was involved in the Bible Christian Church in Seventeen Mile Rocks, being on the management committee for many years. He was instrumental in establishing a new school in the area, joined a Road Trust of five local farmers to lobby for improved roads and a shed on his land was the focus for church services, community socials and dances. A couple of anecdotes that have come down to us about James tell us something of this competent bushman. During the flood of 1893 James rescued a bleating goat from Mosquito Island by row boat. On another occasion, whilst scything lucerne, he felt a snake crawl up his trouser leg. He stood very still and dropped his trousers. The snake continued up through his shirt and out at his collar and slithered off! A brave man! One of James’s twin sons, Robert junior, was a strong swimmer and his son Norm tells of his father swimming home to Seventeen Mile Rocks from Indooroopilly! According to the Queenslander newspaper James death in 1902, “cast quite a gloom over the district”. He was buried in St. Matthew’s Cemetery, Sherwood. Norm Henry, Robert junior’s son, lived in Jamboree Heights from the early 1970s until mid 1990s. Information on our pioneer settlers has come from Meg Gordon’s book, When River Was Roadway.

Update by Marlene Worthington, Branch President
We wish Centenary News and their readers a very happy 2015 and hope that this year is filled with good health and happiness. We are all waiting to start the New Year activities with our first General meeting for the year on Tuesday 3rd February at the Jindalee Bowls Club. We commence the day at 9.30am with a ‘cuppa’ followed by a short meeting and then an entertainer will follow. Our branch is a great way to meet like-minded members in the Centenary area, enjoy exciting social outings, guest speakers, entertainers, and have your say on the issues affecting you, so we invite you to join us on a new journey of fun and friendships. Our ‘Steady Steps’ exercise classes continue each Monday, 9am at Middle Park Uniting Church Hall, where everyone is made to feel very welcome. MahJong classes are held for members at Mt Ommaney Library, 9 - noon on the first and second Thursday each month. These activities will still run throughout January but not in the first week due to New Year’s Day holiday. We are now in the planning stage for our Evening Dinners, Morning Teas, Explorer Trips using public transport, Coach Trips, Plays, Trivia and Concerts and any other activity that we can find. By the way, our mystery trip in November was to Redcliffe where we had a lovely day travelling around the area and came home loaded with prawns and seafood. Our Christmas Breakup Luncheon at the end of November was a huge success with 82 members celebrating with us. This was truly a great way to end the year, followed by the Christmas Hamper Raffles at our last Meeting of the year in December. Finally, we had the Lord Mayor’s Christmas parties at City Hall to attend in the first week in December and the last Evening Dinner of the year. 2014 was a very big year socially for our members. We invite you to come along to our February Meeting on Tuesday 3rd February when we welcome back all our members for another year of varied activities. Also to welcome any new Seniors who would like to belong to our group. For more details and information please call Marlene on 3279 1444, leave your contact details on the answering machine and I will get back to you as soon as I get home from my current activity.

Hello Readers As you have been enjoying the January holiday break, I am sure that like most people throughout the world, you have remained “connected”. Digital technology certainly offers us an array of personalized services, day and night, at our fingertips on many and varied devices. It’s certainly going to be a very different world for young people beyond graduation from formal schooling. Already they have the capacity to access 90% of all human knowledge on their personal device; and the ability to organize their own learning and respond quickly to new challenges, thanks to these amazing advances. The new digital world will be profoundly beneficial to society with an abundance of information available at our fingertips. It has never been a better time to be a worker with special skills or the right education, because businesses will use technology to create value. However, technological innovation will also disrupt the world of work, as we know it. If a task can be automated it will be. Boundaries will cease to matter and work that can be performed offshore will be. There will be under employment and unemployment. The economy will be reshaped and jobs that we have not even thought of will be invented. At St John’s we are actively preparing our students, with the best education possible at each stage of their education. The real and lasting skills that will assist young people to cope in the new world are what some might call the ‘soft skills’. In addition to being highly literate in English and Mathematics, and adept with technology, young people will need to think for themselves, to have maintained their childhood creativity and inquisitive nature; to be culturally sensitive, socially and emotionally competent; to be resilient when the unexpected happens; to possess high level interpersonal skills and the confidence and ability to lead and to participate in teams. The imperative for young people is to have plenty of opportunities to develop these skills as a foundation for work in the new digital age. A St John’s education will prepare your child for this exciting future. Our first Open Day for 2015 will be 7 March or you can request a personal tour by contacting the Registrar email jcollins@sjac.qld.edu.au
A place for INNOVATION St John’s is a collaborative, online, interconnected learning community. Our teachers motivate their students to use new technologies, to source real time information and to create and publish their work. They are being well prepared for a rapidly changing future.

CENTENARY RSL Sub-Branch Monthly Update by Alan Worthington
A new Naval Cadet Unit, operating in the Centenary Suburbs was accepted as a formal unit in a ceremony at Bulimba Barracks late last year. The unit, now known as NTS Vengeance, has been accepted into the navy cadet organisation and cadets have been issued with uniforms. The photo shows the Officer in Charge, Sub Lieutenant Chiu-Hing Chan, with the cadets of the new unit on parade. The cadets displayed a high standard of drill during the inauguration ceremony and they and the officer in charge should be congratulated for the training which has obviously been involved. The unit is now recruiting new cadets. So, if your son or daughter would like to experience character building activities which not only enhance their ability to tackle a range of different, often challenging tasks, but also learning the benefits of teamwork, this might be the group for them. By undertaking such tasks they gain a dramatic increase in personal self-confidence, even though they don’t appreciate it at the time, which then aids them in all other aspects of their life. Some examples of activities are tying ropes and learning different knots, boating skills (particularly safety aspects), rifle drill, cooking etc. To find out more about the cadet unit or activities undertaken, contact Chiu-Hing Chan on 0411 763 641. The unit parades at the Centenary State High School from 9am till noon on Sundays.
