National Seniors

Update by Marlene Worthington, Branch Secretary

Wow! It’s hard to believe that we’re into winter already. It doesn’t feel like it most of the time. We still have a lot of warm sunshine and we finally got some rain recently to water all the gardens. Now we can watch everything start to grow and flourish again.

Come along to the Jindalee Bowls Club on the first Tuesday each month at 9.30am where we get together for our monthly General meeting. A Newsletter is handed to everyone as they enter the hall by our friendly ‘people greeters’.

Then you are invited to share morning tea with us and listen to an entertainer or guest speaker.

Every Monday morning at the Centenary Uniting Church Hall beside the Middle Park Shopping Centre at 9am, you will hear music and if you go in the door there will be 25+ senior people exercising and dancing and looking very trim. They like to get fit in order to participate in all the other activities that are run through the week, such as on the third Tuesday each month we have either a coach trip or an Explorer Trip (using public transport}. This month is our ‘Christmas in July’ coach trip to Tewantin, and it looks like being a full bus already. Our last trip to ‘Straddie’ was fantastic. We even had some dolphins swimming alongside the ferry as we crossed over to the island.

On the first two Thursdays each month, we get together at the Mt Ommaney Library Meeting room and learn how to play MahJong. There is so much chatter going on here. On the third Thursday each month, the Book Club meets at the Jindalee Bowls Club for some friendly discussion. On weekends, we have our two favourite playhouses that we like to visit. We also have our ‘Coffee and conversation’ group on the last Tuesday each month at the Mt Ommaney Foodcourt.

As you can see we are a very active group of senior (over 50) people who like to mix with similarly minded people and have fun. No sitting around at home for us wondering what to do to pass the time away because there’s always something going on. So if this article spikes your interest, please give me a call on 3279 1444. I would love to hear from you. Of course, with so much going on I cannot always be sitting by the phone, so please leave a message on the answering machine and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

RICHLANDS SCOUT GROUP UPDATE

BY ROSELLA

The cold weather has not slowed down the enthusiasm of the youth members in Richlands Scout Group. Our Joey Scouts have been out and about mixing with Mobs from within our District and making new friends. Sadly, our Cub Scout Camp set for early June had to be postponed, so we took the opportunity to add in an extra ‘fun’ day. We are looking forward to getting to our bush survival camp during Term 3, and are also planning a Disco night and campfire night for our younger sections.

Both Joey and Cub sections are heading to the Schonell Theatre at St Lucia to catch the Brisbane Gang Show production of ‘Shipwrecked’ - an amazing production involving over 140 youth members from Scout Groups in and around Brisbane and Ipswich. Tickets are still available by heading to the Brisbane Gang Show web page. Opening night Friday July 1.

Our Scout Section are preparing for their four day major camp, SSS in early July as well as planning ahead to Term 3 with trips to RSPCA and Inflatable World being investigated. A quiet patrol camp, hiking weekends, a ‘Master Scout’ cooking night and a water activities weekend are other activities to look forward to.

Our numbers are growing steadily, and our Group has been enjoying building partnerships within the community, particularly with schools such as Grand Avenue and Pallara and also with the Inala Youth Service and Bunnings Oxley. This term we are also going to be turning our thoughts to Spring and all things environmental. Starting with our ‘Living Fundraiser’, where we will be selling herb tins, fruit and vegetable pods and maybe even flowers. We are hoping to join forces again with our friends at the Inala Bushcare Group to actively encourage our youth members to follow the Scout Law ‘A Scout cares for the Environment’.

After such a busy term, we will all be heading off for a nice relaxing Group Family Camp later in the term. We always have room for more, and we don’t have an end of season, so if you are looking for something to keep the kids busy, come along for a visit or three. Contact Rosella on 0402 308 182 for more information, or check out our face book page Richlands Scout Group.

During a recent family gathering I threw into the conversation that I needed some topics for this column.

I won’t bore you with the list of what was thrown back, suffice to say that the range was from the inspiring to the downright idiotic and everything in between. One suggestion, that I didn’t immediately entertain was sport (you know who you are!).

As the banter continued around me, I began to think about the topic of sport, especially in light of “State of Origin” (At time of writing, we are yet to play the second game. By the time you are reading this, we’ll be looking forward to the third game one way or another!). As I’m not particularly sporty - give me the theatre over a sporting event any day of the week - I started to wonder about the appeal of sport, particularly as a spectator.

As I said, I’m not very sporty, but for some reason, I do like to watch the Origin, in particular, and will stay up late on too many consecutive weekday nights watching the tennis. And, my family will tell you, I’m not above yelling at the TV and fist pumping the air when watching Queensland do what we do best. But why? Why do we want our team to win? Why do we care?

Many a great brain with far more intellect than mine have pondered this question, so I know I’m not breaking new ground here but I do think it has much to do with ‘belonging’. A sense of belonging and connection are perhaps our greatest needs, rivalling, in my opinion, even basic physical needs.

Feeling we are part of something bigger than ourselves does quite a few things to us. We feel a sense of kinship, of commonality. And in our world that is constantly banging on about how individual we are (and we are!), it’s also strangely comforting to know we are similar to others and not that different after all. We also feel a sense of vicarious achievement. Them becomes us and we, rather than I. Basically, we get a kick out of feeling an affinity with a ‘win’. It can show us that nothing is impossible, especially when the underdog gets up and wins against all odds. It can make us feel proud. We like feeling that people who are ‘one of us’ eg Queenslanders, have succeeded. And in a society that struggles to acknowledge another’s success, it feels good and right to be proud of someone else’s triumph.

History tells us that the concept of competitive games has been around since we first began. Such a long and enduring idea must carry benefits to have stood the test of time through the ages. And I think it’s because we are meant for community.

We are born to be part of something outside ourselves.

This is not a plug for all those sporting groups out there, unless, of course, sports is your thing, but rather it’s a plug for joining something - anything! There are many fantastic groups, clubs, churches in our local area with a wide range of interests represented.

We all need to feel connected and by joining a group, you just might help others feel connected and that they belong too.

The Centenary News - July 2016 - Page 3

Recently our Primary school was filled with absolute joy during our annual Grandparents Day. It was wonderful to see the smiles on the faces of our students and their visiting grandparents and to hear their conversations. Grandparents were amazed by the classroom activities St John’s students are engaged in. From writing code for webpages to learning Chinese, participating in PYP units of inquiry, hands-on Maths activities and reading using QR codes.

Our grandparents were astounded at how much school has changed.

It is an essential element of St John’s that family and extended family are included as part of the St John’s community. Children gain so many benefits from opportunities to perform, speak in front of an audi-ence, explain their learning and ‘teach’ others. These experiences cement their understanding of knowledge and give them confidence to showcase their skills and ideas.

For example, learning how to write code for a webpage takes a new way of thinking with some likening it to learning another language. When a student is learning code they have a far greater chance of remem-bering the steps and the code if they teach someone else how to do it.

The majority of our visiting grand-parents are unlikely to remember the coding they witnessed on Grandparents Day, but for the students who demonstrated and explained coding, their understanding and memory of the steps will have been strengthened significantly.

Another way in which students can strengthen their learning is through talking to their parents about the PYP units of inquiry they have been studying. At St John’s we encourage our students to reflect on their learning and talking with others is great way to reflect.

We would like to invite you to St John’s because we know you will be very impressed by the learning that takes place.

Our next Open Morning is Saturday 6 August, so please email our Registrar – jcollins@sjac.qld.edu.au to confirm your attendance.

You will be amazed like our grandparents are!

Local mum making a global difference When local mum Tess Freund started handcrafting pieces of jewellery over six years ago, she had no idea her eye-catching, organic and sustainable jewellery would one day help other mums all over the world.

The idea for Tess’s unique range came after the birth of her first son and the realisation that there was a distinct lack of stylish baby friendly necklaces on the market.

Tess’s necklaces contain no small parts, are crafted from organic cotton, have been dyed with low impact water based dyes, and are hand washable.

They are great for babies who like to pull on mums hair or skin while feeding; for those who get distracted and need help to keep focussed; and also for teething babies as the organic cotton inner provides great relief for sore gums.

“My designs formed the basis of my first label, Monkey & Mum, which quickly gained popularity in the mum community. Within a few years I found myself in a fabulous predicament: I simply couldn’t make enough necklaces for the number of mums who wanted to wear them,” said Tess.

“This was the catalyst for Sahasa, as I began searching for a way to expand ethically - which sounds a lot easier than you’d think!”

Many months later Tess formed a relationship with the Director of Mehera Shaw Foundation (MSF) in India, members of the Fair Trade Federation, and who operate under a very transparent business model. Tess was introduced to a women’s development group they were working with, and worked alongside MSF to train these women on how to make some of Tess’s designs. The necklaces were created using sustainable organic fabric off-cuts from MSF’s Fair Trade manufacturing line - fabric that was otherwise destined for landfill.

“I began to learn the stories of these women. Many were child brides who’d fled domestically abusive relationships, and who didn’t have the skills or opportunity to support themselves and their children.

“Unethical practices and conditions are common place for the garment workers behind so many of our big corporate fashion labels. Ethical fashion has the power to change the world, and so began my journey into empowering women in need to overcome gender inequality and poverty through Fair Trade.

“I wanted to help even more women, so I began to look further abroad, and source ethically produced products from all over the world. Some of these pieces are designed by me and brought to life by the fair trade artisans in India, others go from design to conception at the hands of Sahasa artisans worldwide. Either way, every piece in the Sahasa store was crafted by an artisan who was paid a fair wage, who works in a clean and safe environment, and who is not a child.

“The Fair Trade artisans behind Sahasa are the heartbeat of my company, which is why I turned to them when choosing a name. The women who handcraft my necklaces chose the name Sahasa, meaning courage in Hindi, which is exactly what my brand gives to these women.”

All Sahasa products are available from the online store at www.sahasa.com.au, with a select few stocked at Nest Nappies in Paddington, and Bowerbird in Oxley.

If you’re not the parent of a child with a disability, chances are you know one, probably more. Parenting a child with a disability is often a thankless and lonely journey, with many challenges along the way.

With the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) this year, many families will have greater options available to them that will benefit their family member with a disability and the family as a whole.

Navigating the many ins and outs of this new process can be daunting to parents who are already stretched to the limit in caring for their child with a disability. And it’s for this reason that owner of CCA Creative, Alison Layton, saw a practical way she could help.

The mother of a child with autism, Alison is familiar with many of the issues facing families with a member with a disability and is using this knowledge to provide services that would have helped her greatly with her now 19 year old son.

“Some days, it’s all you can do to keep going, let alone educating yourself about new services that are available,” said Alison. “The idea behind the workshops we run through CCA Creative is two fold - provide NDIS information and give parents and carers some much needed ‘time out’.”

CCA Creative facilitates days of NDIS information via a trainer from Parent 2 Parent.

The day also incorporates time for parents and carers to talk to other parents and carers in similar life situations, providing much needed support and connectedness with others.

“Many mums and dads of a child with a disability simply don’t have the time to socialise in the way other parents do, so spending a whole day with like-minded people is a huge thing to give them,” she said. “And we also spend some time honouring them and the amazing job they are doing raising, not only their child with a disability, but their other children too.

“It’s important to me and my staff that each and every participant leaves feeling appreciated, refreshed and re-energised to continue the very important job of caring for their child.

“We also run weekend getaways for mums and dads and carers, where it’s a whole weekend focussed on them. They are encouraged to share their story, as well as participate in wellbeing workshops, laughter therapy and generally just have a break, which is something that rarely happens in life with a child with a disability.”

If you’re a parent of a child with a disability and are interested in an NDIS training day or a weekend getaway, or both, contact Alison on 0416 162 799 or send an email to alison. ccacreative@gmail.com. Also, head over to the CCA Creative website (www.ccacreative.org) to read testimonials from mums and dads who have already experienced a workshop or weekend and find out more. CCA Creative also offers workshop days and retreats for young carers as well as aged care, see the website or call for more information.

If you care for your child, mother, father, sibling, spouse or relative, this is for you.

CCA Creative provides a service for parents and carers of a family member with high needs or disability.

Talented teen has bright future in rowing Centenary Rowing Club member, Harry Taylor blitzed the field in the U16 Single Scull race final at a recent rowing regatta held on the new Wyaralong Rowing Course situated on Beaudesert/Boonah Road.

Former Olympian Bruce Richardson who was coaching Taylor on the day said that with the way the Grade 10 student had grown, and was approaching 6ft tall, he had a very bright future in rowing.

The win by Harry Taylor last month showed the Centenary Rowing Club was well on the way to improving its position in Queensland rowing.

Taylor is already looking ahead to his future and has an ‘after school’ plan well in place.

“I want to be able to continue with rowing after obtaining a high OP score in 2018, which incidentally, will be the last time a student will be able to obtain an OP as the grading system will change in 2019.

“When I leave school I would like to obtain a Degree in Psychology and if I can gain a place at either Queensland University or the Queensland University of Technology, it will mean I can continue to row at the Centenary Rowing Club.

“My interest in psychology centres on people suffering from addictions to things such as drugs, alcohol and gambling. I believe I have an above average capacity communicating with all kinds of people and I think I would be good helping family members who may have been impacted by others around them,” Taylor said.

Harry Taylor’s other love is cross training for rowing and he does this by Mountain Bike riding as often as he can with his elder brother Hamish.

“Every time I ride with Hamish, he pushes me to ride harder and harder and always reminds me of my goal that I have written on a small card stuck to my bedside lamp near the switch which says ‘Olympic Games 2028’.

“That is my rowing goal!”

Jindalee State School celebrates 50 years Jindalee State School celebrates 50 years this year after opening in 1966 with just 64 students.

The school community will mark the occasion by way of a Sixties theme for their annual fete to be held on Saturday 27 August.

Sisters Kassie Woodhead and Shannon Cridland are organising the history for the day along with their mother Margaret Tupper.

“This anniversary is very special to us. Our mum, Marg Tupper, was enrolled at the school in its first year, and we attended the school from 1987 until our youngest sister graduated in 1999 and now our children have been attending the school since 2010.

“This year we have three at the school - Jade in Grade 6, Corey in Grade 3 and Chloe in Prep,” said Kassie. “Mum and Shannon have worked at the school for many years too.”

Organisers have set up a Facebook page called Jindalee State School – 50 years on to connect past and present members of the school community and invite residents to join the page and share their memories.

On the day of the fete, the school will be open for one hour from 9.30am so people can walk through the school and have a look at how far it has come and what has changed. The hall will be set up with memorabilia and the contents of the Time Capsule will be on display along with photos and the history of Jindalee State School. The Fete will open at 11am where everyone can enjoy a fun filled day.

Commemorative items are available for purchase now and throughout the year, with collection on the Fete day. If you would like to order any memorabilia please contact Kassie Woodhead via email jindaleess50@bigpond.com. Items available for purchase are pens, handballs, coffee mugs and USB’s with lanyards. Please visit the Fete website for updates about the day www.jssfete.com.au.

Another initiative is the selling of pavers with the purchasers name engraved on it for those wanting to purchase a piece of history and lay their name or a family member’s name in the school grounds. Please contact the Jindalee State School main office on 3725 5777 for any information.

If you have any photos or information you think the school should have please email jindaleess50@bigpond.com.

So grab the family and make a day of it on Saturday 27 August starting from 9.30am, Jindalee State School, located at 114 Burrendah Rd, Jindalee.

Veterinary News

by Dr Teagan Fitzwater BVSc (Hons)

Pet insurance Pet insurance can be a lifesaver for your pet. As we are all aware, owning a pet can be very expensive and even more so when they require urgent or ongoing veterinary treatment.

The stigma that veterinary treatment is very expensive is related to the fact that unlike human medicine, the veterinary industry does not receive any government funding, therefore there are no funded subsidies for veterinary care or medication. The cost of veterinary care can sometimes be the decision factor for an owner as to whether they seek veterinary care for their sick animal and also whether they decide to go ahead with a life-saving treatment or surgery, or even treatments that can greatly improve the quality of a pet’s life.

The benefit of pet insurance is that you can have nearly all of your veterinary bill reimbursed by the insurance company. Pet insurance will cover your pet for anything ranging from its yearly vaccination costs to ear infections, skin diseases, injuries, paralysis tick treatment, snake bite treatment, heart disease and the list goes on.

There are many different pet insurance companies available and also many different levels of coverage you can choose for your pet. Additionally many home and contents insurance companies will have the option of paying a small extra fee to also cover your pet under the same policy.

The basic level of coverage on a policy will reimburse you for accidents only, the medium level of coverage will include accidents and illnesses, and the high level of premium will cover your pet for accidents and illnesses as well as vaccinations, heartworm prevention and flea/tick controls.

Your friendly veterinarian will be able to provide further information on insurance to help you make the right decision for you and your pet.

Pop Up Op Shop in Middle Park It’s time to clear out your wardrobe and put to good use those clothes you no longer wear (or the ones that have mysteriously shrunk while in your wardrobe!) by booking a table at the St Catherine’s Anglican Church’s Pop Up Op Shop.

The morning will be held at the church at Macfarlane Street on Saturday 2 July from 8am to midday. The cost is $20 per stall, where you can sell all your pre loved clothing and purchase from the other stalls on the day.

Morning tea will also be on sale. The Pop Up Op Shop is a cash only event.

Funds raised on the day will go to Brisbane Domestic Violence Service whose goal is to support woman and children to reach a stage where they are safe and free from fear of domestic and family violence. They provide a range of services, including information and referral, crisis support, practical assistance, advocacy, counselling and emotional support.

To book your space and for further information, call Judy on 0419 785 039.

Historical Society UPDATE BY DIANNE RUFFLE The Storytelling Tree In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Sundays in Jindalee were home to activities at the Storytelling Tree, or Tom Tom Tree as it was commonly referred to.

The tree (a Moreton Bay Fig), which still stands today on privately owned property (pictured below), was on a hill that overlooked what is now the Looranah Street shopping centre and BCC pool. This area was used as an open air theatre with actors from the Twelfth Night Theatre entertaining children with stories and plays. The theatre’s aim was to develop in children a love of theatre and was reportedly very well attended by local children, their parents and even their pets!

The actors were dressed as fantasyland characters and mimed stories, both contemporary and classic, which were sometimes narrated by a character called Timothy Tale-Weaver from his perch high on a bough of the tree.

To our knowledge, the only photo of the open-air theatre that survives is the one pictured above from the Australian Women’s Weekly, 5 March 1969. A few local residents have told us about the fun and laughter which the performances brought to them and their families. We have been given the names of some of the actors who took part and are in the process of trying to track them down and hopefully expand our knowledge of what seems to have been a popular pastime.

We would, however, love to find out more about what was an interesting part of the early life in the Centenary Suburbs. We would welcome any information, photos, memories, etc. of the Tom Tom Tree.

So, please dig deep to see what you might have about it. Our email address is centenaryhistory2@notmail.com or postal address CSHSoc, PO 432, Mt Ommaney, 4074.

Queensland Budget The budget was handed down last month and unfortunately was not good news for our community with no new projects funded in the budget. I will keep fighting for our region to ensure we get our fair share.

For senior’s week this year, I will be holding a seniors morning tea at the Jindalee Hotel.

Renowned business owner and current chair of the Metro South Health and Hospital board, Terry White will be the guest speaker with special performances from local schools.

The morning tea will be held on Friday 19 August from 9.15am till noon at Jindalee Hotel, Sinnamon Rd, Jindalee and is a free event. RSVP is essential to the Mount Ommaney electorate office on 3737 2120 or mount.ommaney@parliament.qld.gov.au For more information or to RSVP contact my office on 3737 2120.
