Get ready for a hair-raising challenge!

A hair-raising quest to find Queensland’s most extraordinarily brave community has been launched.

Each year, the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave sees thousands of Queenslander’s bravely shave, colour or wax – and this year it wants to know which city/suburb is a cut above the rest.

The Leukaemia Foundation of Queensland’s CEO, Bill Petch, said registration for the popular event on March 10-13 was now open.

“Chinville, the birthplace of the World’s Greatest Shave, has long been considered the most daring but I’m certain there are communities that can rival the bravery and charitable spirit of Chinville’s famed residents,” Mr Petch said.

“I urge everyone to look amongst their community of work colleagues, school mates, friends and family and nominate those in the most pressing need of a shave, colour or wax. Every inch of hair sacrificed, every hipster beard banished will help us to beat blood cancer.”

Now the third biggest cause of cancer death in Australia, blood cancers like lymphoma, leukaemia and myeloma, are claiming more lives each year than breast cancer or skin cancer.

“We urgently need to raise $18 million nationally this year to fund life-saving research that will help increase patient survival rates and improve their quality of life,” Mr Petch added.

The charity hopes more than 40,000 Queenslanders will get involved at home, work, school or at hundreds of public events.

The Leukaemia Foundation receives no direct government support and relies on the generosity of the community to help patients beat their blood cancer.

Sumners Road Black Spot improvement project

Brisbane City Council has improved road safety for residents of the Centenary suburbs with the recent completion of the Sumners Road Black Spot improvement project. This project saw the installation of static warning signs, and vehicle activated signage on both approaches to the curve between 129 and 159 Sumners Road, Sumner. This new infrastructure improves driver awareness and also highlights the appropriate speed at which motorists should be travelling for this section of road. This project is just another example of how Brisbane City Council is improving safety on our suburban roads.

s I prepare to study for the fi rst time in a gazillion years, the idea is both exhilarating and daunting. On one hand, I love to learn. I will read just about anything and I’m always keen to hear about things I know little about. I love discussing things with people who have different interests and thoroughly enjoy being shown or told about something new that I’ve not come across previously.

But (and it’s a big but!) I also hate learning. I want to just know things without having to go through the process of learning them. In any creative pursuits I become easily frustrated when what’s in my head is vastly different than what is being produced by my hands. I want to perfect an art on the first go and no amount of ‘practice makes perfect’ and other trite sayings help.

I have a friend who absolutely loves the process of learning. She loves watching her own progression in a given area, whether it’s her career or her many artistic talents. She doesn’t expect herself to automatically know how to do something, like I do. She is happy to give herself over to gradual development and not look for instant success.

In life, and particularly in relationships with others, we rarely ‘get things right’ on the first go. As we learn more about a person, we know better how to give them what they need from us. As we understand our spouse, often through trial and error, we become more skilled at preempting their needs, and in turn, being able to fill them.

We need to learn the difference in each of our children in order to give them what they need to feel loved, accepted and fulfilled. How often have we all seen parents who parent each child exactly the same in an attempt at fairness? In reality, what often ends up happening is that only one child’s needs are sufficiently filled, and we run the risk of the other children not growing up with a feeling of acceptance and being understood. When we really know our children, we can make decisions based on that knowledge and tailor our parenting of each child accordingly.

I think one of the greatest mistakes we can make in our relationship with our spouse or partner is not taking enough time to really learn what we need to about one another. We can be like me - happy to learn in some instances, but wanting instant knowledge in others.

Unfortunately, we often take the lazy route and fail to learn about our partner, which over time can lead to disengagement and unhappiness for both parties.

So I’m going to try and take a leaf out of my friend’s book and really make the most of the learning process instead of bucking against it, not just with my studies but with my relationships and other aspects of my life too. It’s all about paying attention, giving it another go when we get it wrong and keep learning!

CENTENARY C

National Seniors

Update by Marlene Worthington, Branch Secretary Upd

What a fantastic start to the New Year. So many people turned up at our first General Meeting for 2016 at the Jindalee Bowls Club to welcome our Centenary National Seniors back again, and also we broke our own record for the number of new faces on the scene, and our entertainer really surpassed himself. Everyone went home with huge smiles still singing to themselves. Our thanks go to the big Committee for putting in so much effort to make the day perfect.

So, what are we going to do this month? Yes, we have our General Meeting on the first Tuesday of the month at the Jindalee Bowls Club starting at 9.30am as usual, with a lovely morning tea provided by the Canteen ladies and you can sign up for all the activities that you would like to. After a short business meeting, will be a slide show from Alan Worthington who has just returned from a month down at Antarctica. Everyone is really looking forward to that.

We then get back to our normal monthly program of various activities to pursue. You will need your monthly Newsletter which is distributed at the General Meeting to know dates, times and places.

Mondays at 9am we start the week off with ‘Steady Steps’ at Centenary Uniting Church Hall at Middle Park.

On the third Tuesday this month we have our Coach Trip to Noela’s Garden at Donnybrook. The Coach Trip is fully catered for with Morning Tea and Lunch included and is a lovely outing especially for our older members. We only do these Coach Trips every second month, the alternative month we do our ‘Explorer Trip’ which appeals more to the younger members as they get a chance to get some exercise whilst seeing what Brisbane has to offer the locals in the way of Tourist attractions whilst using public transport.

The drivers look forward to our group on their bus because we are so friendly and chatty, we keep everyone on the bus entertained.

On the last Tuesday each month, all members are invited to join with us in the Mt Ommaney Food Court (beside Betty Beans) at 10am and have a ‘coffee and chat’ in a relaxed atmosphere after which the Committee Members will go off to their Committee Planning Meeting.

By Wednesday, we feel the urge to start using our brains more and so we play Bolivia (Cards) each Wednesday morning at the Jindalee Bowls Club. The first two Thursday mornings each month we play MahJong (Chinese version of cards) at the Mt Ommaney Library.

The third Thursday each month is now taken up by our Book Club group meeting at the Jindalee Bowls Club Library at 10am for some serious discussion.

Fridays are our rest day from Seniors to catch up with our other life – like housework, shopping, etc. and conserving some energy because on Saturday it all starts up again with attending theatres, shows, and anything else that’s going on around us. Of course, once the weather cools down again, we will be back on the Trivia competitions too.

If this program appeals to you, we would love to welcome you to our family. In the first instance, you can call me on the phone (Marlene on 3279 1444) for more information. If I am not at home it’s because I am out having fun. Please leave your name and phone number on the answering machine and I will call you back when I return.

St Catherine’s Soccer Club to host 24 hour game St Catherine’s United Football Club (St Cats) is set to hold their major fundraiser this year with a 24 hour soccer game. To be held on Peter Lightfoot Oval starting at 4pm Friday, 18 March, club members are keen to raise funds for a much needed and long awaited clubhouse.

Thirty-eight years ago when the club began, the grounds had no lights and a toilet block that was built using prison labour. Since then lights have been installed as well as irrigation to each of the fields with the latest development being an upgrade to the toilet block, with the assistance of a grant from Brisbane City Council and Cr Mathew Burke.

For some years, the Committee has been working to realise the dream of a clubhouse that would further support the community focus of the Club. This would be a centre for the teams and supporters, and available for community use.

St Cat’s is an incorporated non-profit organisation owned by its members. The operation of St Cats is governed by a constitution that provides for administration by a Management Committee formed from the membership. The grounds at Peter Lightfoot Oval in the western suburbs used by St Cats are the property of the Brisbane City Council and St Cats holds the master lease over the fields.

The Club aims to foster, develop and encourage the sport of soccer for the benefit of players of all ages in the Centenary suburbs, to provide children with the opportunity to enjoy playing football and to develop their abilities as a player. The Club fosters and encourages good sportsmanship and a sense of friendly competition, with a strong family and community focus.

The cost to build the clubhouse, incorporating existing infrastructure, is approximately $450,000. The Brisbane City Council has supported the Club with grants of $150,000 towards the clubhouse.

As well as the 24 hour soccer game, there will be carnival games, food vendors, camping and other fun activities for residents to be involved in. Players will be sponsored and all Club teams will join in the fun.

For any enquiries about the event, contact Chris Spencer-Carr: chris@stylegroup.com.au.

Storm phobias Storm phobias are one of the most common phobias we treat in pets. Generally dogs are affected but occasionally there are a few scaredy cats. It almost makes you wonder how animals survive in the wild but generally this is a learned or conditioned behaviour.

Many dogs start out perfectly okay as pups until that near miss crack of lightening after which the pet develops a long lasting aversion response.

For some dogs, symptoms of anxiety simply involve panting, licking, shivering or just hiding under the bed. For others their terrors might go as far as chewing through a door or fence to escape and running loose into the traffic.

Eventually just the smell of rain or an early change in barometric pressure may be enough to set them off, so life for both pet and owner soon becomes a misery with the concern that a storm may come while the dog is home alone.

The are several things you can do to change what your dog perceives as a real threat.

• Be calm. Provide some quiet music or white noise in the background and allow access to its safe bolt hole (under the bed/in the kennel etc) if needed until the storm passes. Be gentle but don’t mollycoddle and ignore jumping up or attention seeking.

• ‘Thunder Jackets’ may be worth trying. These tight swaddling jackets give a bear hug (dog hug?) that can makes the dog feel more secure These are available commercially but a home made bandage can also be fashioned.

• The ‘Dog Appeasing Lactational Pheromone Collar’ or Adaptil releases some safe proven happy chemicals which tap into the dogs sense of wellbeing to help calm it. Hopefully the dog begins to associate this with the storm. Safe with no side effects and available from your vet.

• Sedation may be required. There are two commonly prescribed sedatives used for short term symptomatic use. Some dogs may need managing preemptively throughout the storm season with a Prozac style medication. These do take several weeks for full effect so may need to continue for a few months.

• Behavioural modification. Symptoms will be worse in dogs with existing separation anxiety, preexisting phobias or where the dog is conflicted about your leadership or if the owner or family members are also fearful of storms. Maria our dog trainer at Behaving K9s can help. Contact through Sinnamon ParkVet and Pet Emporium on 3376 5633.

St John’s Prep – the perfect place for learning When visiting the Prep classrooms at St John’s Anglican College you will be amazed to see what the children are learning.

Literacy and numeracy are not the only essential components of the St John’s Prep program - STEM also has a significant place.

STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and it is much more than four single subjects.

In fact, it is more like a way of thinking about learning that integrates knowledge across the subject areas.

We know that children learn best when they can make connections across different disciplines and contexts and traditional approaches to teaching subjects in isolation do not provide the optimum learning experience. Therefore, children in these settings may not reach their full potential. The Prep program at St John’s is different. It introduces every child to inquiry learning and investigations in STEM which provide opportunities for deep, collaborative learning and the use of a wide variety of technology. These opportunities blend perfectly with the units of inquiry we teach through the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Program. St John’s is an IB candidate school and will move towards authorisation as an IB World School in the future.

The strong foundations provided in the Early Years at St John’s prepare each child for exciting learning experiences in older grades, such as personal projects, coding, robotics, Young Inventors, Science Club and our Future Thinkers Program. There is no doubt that our children not only require exceptional skills in literacy and numeracy in this day and age, they also must know how to use technology in innovative ways to design, create, communicate and problem solve. The wonderful STEM program at St John’s which commences in the first years of schooling gives each child the confidence they need and the perfect start for lifelong learning.

We invite families who are looking to place their child in a progressive, technology rich learning environment to contact us to make a time when our Head of Primary can show our facilities and provide an experience in our Early Years classrooms during a normal school day. Please contact our Registrar, Janette Collins – jcollins@sjac.qld.edu.au

Instead of the route at UQ sports stadium used for the past 13 years, the new route for the annual Rotary Fun Run promises to be a huge hit among the entrants. This year, it will be held at Rocks Riverside Park through parklands with the Brisbane River as the backdrop for most of the run.

Because of the wonderful facilities in the park, this year the event will be more of a family day. The park has playground and water play areas for the kids and large grassed space for family picnics. Families can make a day of it, rather than leave after the run/walk.

The event is to be held on Sunday 22 May and is being organised jointly by the Rotary Clubs of Brisbane Centenary and Brisbane Taylor Bridge. All proceeds go to support various charities, the main beneficiaries being: • Wesley Hospital Choices Program, a free community service offering support for women and men diagnosed with breast cancer and women diagnosed with gynaecological cancers and their families; • Rotary BeefBank, providing beef to the FoodBank organisation for distribution to the homeless and marginalised members of our community; and • Rotary District 9630 Drought Appeal, where vouchers are given to struggling farmers to spend on essentials within their local community, thereby helping not only the farmers but also local businesses.

As this is the first year the event is being held locally, local sponsors are needed. Here’s an opportunity for local businesses to get involved. All sponsors will be acknowledged in the event marketing. For information contract, Ted Crowe on 0415 515 000 or Graham Osterfield on 0418 888 123.

Centenary Suburbs . Historical Society UPDATE BY DIANNE RUFFLES, SECRETARY

by Meg Gordon, Centenary Suburbs Historical Society member

Housekeeping, pioneer style As we press the button on the microwave, pop laundry into our electric washing machines and dryers and purchase food from supermarkets, it is worth sparing a thought for the pioneer women of the district. Their many housekeeping tasks were undertaken without the benefit of electricity and labour saving devices.

Women had to cook for a workforce hungry from hard physical labour. In the very early period before houses were built, families camped in tents, water was fetched from creeks and food was cooked in the open. Later, wood-fuelled stoves, usually in a detached kitchen at the back of a house, made cooking a hot task during the long summers. The stoves also heated the cast iron pressing irons.

Magee descendants say that in the very early days, water for laundry was collected in nearby streams and waterholes. For many years afterwards, washing was undertaken outdoors, the women requiring considerable strength. Hercules Sinnamon wrote “With a heap of wood under a copper or drum in the back yard, the clothes would be boiled with soap and soda, lifted out with a broomstick into big tubs of water where they would be rinsed, squeezed up and down on a washing board and then hung to dry.”

Most farmers grew their own fruit and vegetables, the home garden usually tended by the women. The women also made preserves and chutneys. The Maurer family’s double-walled dairy was lined with 15-inch shelves on which preserves were stored. Mrs Sarah White’s large pantry with its shelves filled with bottled fruits of many kinds left a lasting impression on her young nephew, Hercules Sinnamon.

The family poultry provided eggs and chicken meat as needed while dairy cattle provided milk from which butter and cheese were made. Some families such as the Maurer and Ziegenfusz families also raised, killed and dressed their own beef and pork.

The Maurer family had a separate smokehouse at the back where meat was hung and smoked.

!

I have been out and about across the electorate, visiting many sports club sign-on days and presentation nights, and I have been blown away by the level of community involvement and participation in grassroots sports. I’m proud to be a strong support for local sports clubs, and wish to thank all those parents, community members and volunteers who take part in this week in, week out. You are the unsung heroes who keep the fields pristine, the tuckshop stocked and our clubs running smoothly. Thank you!

Centenary Rowing Club The 2015 Queensland State Rowing Championships can be described as nothing short of a success for our local rowers. I have pleasure reporting that eleven rowers went on to the state championships resulting in six gold medals and one silver medal.

Recently, I supported Centenary Rowing Club in their application to the Get Going Clubs Grant, a funding program introduced by the former LNP Government. I can announce that Centenary Rowing Club has received approval of the grant to the sum of $7500 for the purchasing of training equipment to support rowing in the Centenary suburbs.

It’s great to see such strong community support for rowing and many other sports across our region.

Brisbane City Council elections On Saturday 19 March, all Queenslanders will be back off to the polls for the Council elections. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank our local councillors for their service over the last four years.

It has been wonderful to have a great colleague in Cr Matthew Bourke and Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk here in the Centenary Suburbs. I wish Cr Matthew Bourke and Lord Mayor Graham Quirk all the best, and look forward to continuing my strong working relationship throughout 2016.

Referendum on four year terms Queenslanders will also be voting in a state-wide referendum to introduce four year terms for Queensland State Parliament.

A fixed four year term will give residents and businesses across Queensland the certainty of knowing when to expect an election. It will also allow governments to take a long-term view in policy creation, planning projects and government decision-making.

Queensland, Tasmania and the Commonwealth remain the only jurisdictions in Australia without fixed term elections.

Play Rugby League this year It’s the Souths Graceville Rugby League Clubs 60th year and committee members are hoping to make it a great year.

Residents can sign on at Bert St Clair Oval, Graceville on Thursdays starting 18th February 5.30pm-7pm.

Players from five years of age and upward are welcome to join with girls able to play junior league up to the under 12s.

The Club is family orientated and cater especially well to the younger players, however in recent years have also enjoyed success in the older age brackets, taking out Premierships in the 12, 13, 14 and 15 year old age groups.

The success of the Maroons c o m e s f r o m Q u e e n s l a n d ’s fantastic junior league – clubs like Souths Graceville are where the next generation of players gain their passion for the game Further information is available by visiting www.sgrlc.com.au or by phoning the Secretary on 0418 881 996 or email: southsgraceville@gmail.com.
