THROUGHOUT the year, many seniors give generously of their time and expertise in a variety of endeavours. Thousands volunteer at local charities and many provide valuable support to their families, particularly by caring for and spending time with grandchildren. Now it is time to indulge yourself and enjoy what is on offer during Seniors Week. You have the chance to rekindle an inter-
est or plunge into a new one, to meet new friends and to re-connect with old mates. In Queensland the week kicks off on August 15 and finishes on August 23. As usual there is a huge range of activities to suit every taste, no matter whether you want to get the body moving or prefer to settle for something more sedentary. There are opportunities to exercise both your mind and your body. Maybe try
something different for a change – a Zumba class at Roma Street Parkland, Seniors Mock Olympics at Manly, high tea at Caboolture Historical Society or a session of barefoot bowls at Gaythorne. The program is packed with entertainment, information, activities and events to suit all tastes. Peruse our Seniors Week calendar on pages 20 to 33. You will be amazed at the
(-#&7+6 (#27/*( -*7&72!8
variety of options. Many activities are free but with some you will need to book in advance, so get the red pen out and pick your preferences. Let’s end our winter hibernation, start sharing ourselves around and celebrating the things we can still do. As Henry David Thoreau, the poet and philosopher once said, “None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm”.

Building the Story Bridge
THE heritage-listed Story Bridge is about to celebrate its 75th birthday. When the Story Bridge was officially opened on July 6, 1940, an impressive crowd of 37,000 people gathered to witness the ribbon cutting ceremony. Take a walk on memory lane and learn about the history of one of Brisbane’s most iconic structures. The Story Bridge stands strong across the river connecting the north and south suburbs of the city. The Museum has profiled the bridge many times before and we are excited to share some wonderful photos we recently acquired from local resident Shane K Anderson. Shane was a “Copy Boy” in his youth at the Sunday Truth/Mirror Newspaper in Fortitude Valley. While cleaning out files one day on the job, he came across some photos of the construction of the Story Bridge and asked if he could have them. The paper agreed and they have

Even nowadays, the seven deadly sins still exist within everyone; it’s up to us to let them in or push them out.” “Our incredible EDC dancers will breathe new life into this well-known concept, with decadent costumes and set design by Bill Haycock. I’m particularly excited to be working with composer Darrin Verhagen, who’s electrifying and evocative sounds will be a thrilling addition to the work.” This brand new
Queensland work will make its premiere during QPAC’s 30th anniversary year. QPAC is celebrating the many partnerships and collaborations that have been fostered over the Centre’s three decades of storytelling, and is focused on a future that continues to provide a forum for Queensland artists and Queensland works to be performed and seen.

progress as focal points on the national VIEW agenda for 2015. The resolutions were: ■Reduce the incidence of domestic violence and create a centralised data base for victims ■Childhood Obesity ■Uptake of education for Aboriginal girls ■The regulation of sugar content in processed food VIEW is a valued part of The Smith Family, committed to working with disadvantaged Australian children to transform their lives through education.

Seniors Week fun
QUEENSLAND Seniors Week is a great opportunity to promote positive community attitudes towards older people and aging, inter-generational relationships and to enhance community connections, according to Council on the Ageing Queensland chief executive Mark Tucker-Evans. “Our aim is to unite different generations to develop socially inclusive communities in which older people are able to continue to make valuable contributions in their families, neighbourhoods and communities.” Held from August 15–23, Seniors Week provides an
opportunity to bring together all Queenslanders, through events and activities within their communities, while addressing social isolation concerns. “With events from Goondiwindi to the Gold Coast to Far North Queensland, there is something for everyone as it is a cross cultural, intergenerational, on for young and old, week of fun and informative events,” Mr Tucker-Evans said. “We encourage everyone to get involved. “You don’t have to be old to attend and you do not have to be young to have fun.” COTA Queensland co-or-
dinates Seniors Week and receives Queensland Government funding to collaboratively plan, run and subsidise Seniors Week events and activities. This year, COTA Queensland is asking people to take the time to make a connection by listening to someone’s story or by sharing your own. “Seniors Week provides the opportunity for discovery of programs and services available to establish new and maintain existing relations,” Mr TuckerEvans said. Visit www.qldseniorsweek. org.au or phone 1300 738 348 for an event near you.

New work skills key to success
The group by a local artist’s painting of early Sandgate.
Newmarket VIEW Club members visit Sandgate Historical Museum create homes, schools and businesses in this suburb. Some wonderful paintings were also displayed on the walls of the museum which re-created scenes from the early pioneer days. One of our members, Heather Nightingale was keen to tell of her childhood days about being brought up and educated in Sandgate and told of her special memories living there with her family. After being given a tasty morning tea by the staff we then left the museum and travelled up the hill to Shorncliffe, where we had
a delicious lunch at the Café on the Park which had beautiful views of the beach and the jetty below. We had a great time on this special outing and some of us are keen to return one day for further experiences. Lunch meetings are held every fourth Tuesday of the month at the Gaythorne RSL Club. Prospective members or guests are welcome to attend but must contact the treasurers, Heather on 3851 1122 or Christine on 3353 1429 by the Friday, prior to the Meeting. Cost is $25 per head for a two-course lunch.

Forty per cent of respondents indicated they had undertaken some form of learning, education or training within the last three years. Of those, 59% believed their current work-related skills and knowledge were very up to date. Research shows that a 55year-old who becomes unemployed faces an average 73 weeks out of work compared to person in their 20s who would be out of work for 23 weeks.

The members were greeted by two special ladies who volunteer at the Museum and who after our arrival showed us all the various displays of memorabilia from the past 100 years or more. We were also privileged to be shown a video presentation of the history of the district and the many pioneers who worked hard to build and

OLDER workers must acquire new qualifications and boost their work-related skills to remain competitive in the changing workforce, a new National Seniors report shows. A study of more than 1900 people aged over 50 found many mature age Australians were not focusing on education and training opportunities as they aged, leaving them vulnerable to unemployment. National Seniors chief executive Michael O’Neill said the findings highlighted the importance of keeping skills and qualifications up to date. “The changing nature of work, such as a shift to-

$115m boost in aged care facilities AUSTRALIA’S leading provider of innovative private aged care services, Season’s Aged Care, is proud to announce that construction will soon commence on stage one of its new $115 million 283unit community – Seasons Sinnamon Park. Located in the heart of one of Brisbane’s fastest growing suburbs, leafy Sinnamon Park sits in a prime location just 14kms from the CBD and enjoys wide open spaces, parks and walking tracks, as well as access to an array of shopping, medical and transport services. Stage one of Seasons Sinnamon Park is scheduled to be open to residents in early 2017. Valued at approxi-
mately $53 million, it includes 131 units with a choice of one, two and three bedroom, fully selfcontained apartments specifically designed and constructed to optimise delivery of clinical care and support services. Seasons Aged Care is proudly Queensland owned and operated and Sinnamon Park will be its seventh successful aged care development. Each Season’s community boasts its own unique amenities which are based on the needs of the individual community and the location and design of the land upon which it has been built.

The Turks had cut down all but one of the Aleppo pines that grew on the ridge to cover their trenches. Australian soldiers called it Lonesome Pine after a popular song of the time. Approximately 910 Australians died at Lone Pine between August 6-9, 1915.

Grandparents-only playgroup is all about fun and communication
“JUST listen to the happy noise. That’s 10 kiddies having all sorts of fun with their grandparents at our first playgroup morning in Ascot.” Anne Gooley was talking about Queensland’s first grandparents-only program organised by Playgroup Queensland at the Ascot Community Centre. “It’s been a wonderful experience for all of them, especially the grandparents who say they love the atmosphere and friendly environment and the chance to speak to others about themselves and their grandkids,” said Anne, who is Playgroup’s manager, parents and carer services. The first group met at Ascot on July 27. If successful the grandparents-only playgroup will extend to other suburbs and eventually throughout Queensland with Logan likely to be the first outside Brisbane.

Anne Gooley, of Hamilton, a grandmother to Amy, 5, and Clare, 8, says the idea behind the playgroup is to give grandparents the opportunity to enjoy the company of other grandparents while their grandchildren play. “After all, it is important to remember that a playgroup is the first step to lifelong learning,” she said. The event is a natural follow-on from Playgroup’s MyTime program which brings parents and family carers together to help engage children with special needs in playgroup activities. The grandparents-only group, an offshoot of MyTime, attracted participants from a wide area. One grandmother drove from northern NSW with her grandchildren. Two grandparents from Brighton near Sandgate, were Graeme and Kay Winter, who moved from
Biloela 18 months ago to help look after their two grandchildren, Eli, 4, and Violet, 2. “Our daughter wanted to go back to work part-time, but with the cost of child care so expensive it wasn’t feasible,” Kay said. “And I have to admit, we were missing the little ones too. “We wanted to be a part of their lives on a regular basis, so we packed up and headed south and now look after Eli and Violet at least once a week.” But, as much as Graeme and Kay enjoy their time with their grandchildren, they find that they need things to do to keep the littlies entertained. “There are only so many parks you can go to each week,” Kay said with a laugh. Anne has taken on these projects with a passion. She came to Playgroup Queensland with expe-

OLDER people have welcomed the Queensland government’s commitment to maintaining concessions but are disappointed they were not indexed to the CPI, National Seniors Australia says. The budget reaffirmed the government’s commitment to guarantee full funding for pensioner concessions on electricity, water, gas and transport after the Federal Government withdrew funds. “Seniors will be breathing a sigh of relief but they were hoping the concessions will be keeping pace with inflation, instead of being eroded by rising living costs,” said National Seniors’ Queensland policy advisory group chair Vera Somerwil. “We were also hoping there may be some concessional stamp duty for seniors downsizing their homes and buying a property that may be more appropriate to their needs – but again we were disappointed.” Ms Somerwil said there were some announcements in the budget that may deliver benefits for older people. These included:
■ $2 million over four years towards rebuilding the Office for Seniors and establishing a One Stop Shop and the Advisory Taskforce for Residential Transition for Ageing Queenslanders. ■ $20 million over four years to community based organisations to provide long day social respite services to elderly people with dementia and other degenerative neurological disorders who are residing in the community. ■ $5.5 million per year over four years to fund a Financial Resilience program to support Queenslanders to respond better to financial stresses, personal issues and cost of living pressures. ■ Review of elder abuse as part of the Domestic and Family Violence Taskforce Response Team - $5.5m of new and $26m for internal reallocation ■ $240m over four years to reinstate Skilling Queenslanders for Work “Seniors will be watching with interest to see how the government delivers on its commitments,” Ms Somerwil said.

ONE in three men over 50 have benign prostatic hyperplasia, commonly known as an enlarged prostate. This number rises to nearly 80% of men when they reach 70. While BPH is not fatal like prostate cancer, it can cause a lot of pain and inconvenience. Common symptoms are frequent and painful urination and, for some cases, sexual performance is affected. According to Mr Indra, spokesman for Graminex Australia, a company that specialises in developing prostate medication, men
in general tend to be tightlipped about their condition. “It’s normal for men to feel uncomfortable talking about their prostate and their symptoms (of BPH), that’s okay, we understand,” says Mr Indra, who does his best to answer questions from callers. He has spoken to many concerned wives whose husbands are reluctant to acknowledge the issue. The key to this problem, he believes, is to encourage a culture where men are not ashamed to talk about their medical condition. The good news is that all
this is starting to change, especially with the internet which allows men to be more discreet in search for prostate health information. Still, it cannot make up for face-to-face interaction. Graminex Australia has introduced Magnus Shield, a new over-the-counter prostate supplement, and has been working with nonprofit prostate support groups in Victoria to help bring awareness to men.

THE Federal Government’s push for the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) to stop investing in small scale solar power could mean many pensioners and low-to-middle income households miss out on significant electricity bill savings. Initiatives by some Councils such as Darebin City Council in Victoria have enabled pensioners to install solar power systems with no upfront cost, and repayments made via council rates over ten years. Repayment levels are structured so most of those participating will save more each year on their electricity bills than they are repaying. Darebin City Council’s initiative has been hugely successful and other councils have expressed a desire to emulate it. But such initiatives require up-front funding

for the organisation offering them – and that’s where the CEFC can assist. However, CEFC investment in Darebin-type initiatives may not be possible if the Federal Government directives for the CEFC to stop investing in small scale solar are followed. “It’s a low-risk investment, the government makes a return on the money and it supports low- to middle-income earners to get solar panels and save money on their bills,” said SunEdison Australia’s managing director Jeremy Rich. SunEdison supplied and installed the systems used in the Darebin Council project. Since it began, the CEFC has made more than $1.4 billion in total commitments to projects totaling over $3.5 billion in value. Its portfolio has achieved matched private sector funds of
more than $1.80 for each $1 of CEFC investment. Once fully deployed, its investments are currently expected to earn a portfolio weighted average yield of around 6% across their lifetime. Investments targeting local councils, manufacturing and agribusiness make up 20% percent of the CEFC’s portfolio. The CEFC operates under the Clean Energy Finance Corporation Act 2012, which says: “The corporation’s investment function is to invest, directly and indirectly, in clean energy technologies.” There is no focus on “new, innovative and emerging technologies”. In fact, that is the primary function of another body, the Australian Renewable Energy Association (ARENA).

The 91-year-old resident of Trinder Park aged care service at Woodridge recently received a war service medal for her involvement with the WASPS (Women’s Agricultural Security Production Service) during the Second World War. The WASPS made a significant contribution to the national war effort ensuring food crops were planted and harvested.

Riders with Pace PEOPLE might think that having a pacemaker would mean taking life slow and easy. But for a small group of cyclists called Riders with Pace nothing could be further from the truth – with some members regularly riding over 100km while raising money for worthy causes. The group has three aims: ■ To raise money for charity through fundraising rides in south-east Queensland, ■ To provide a physical challenge suited to their level of capability to people with pacemakers, and ■ To show the world that life can be full and rewarding with a pacemaker. In 2014 Riders with Pace raised more than $2500 across charities as diverse as medical research, support for homeless youth, and provision of care for the sick. Already in 2015 it has raised more than $1600. Most of the events Riders with Pace enter offer distances from 25km to

welcome – if you’ve got the pacemaker you can always buy the bicycle. Your heart may have electrical problems, but if
it’s in the right place you can help fundraise. For more see http://riderswithpace. wix.com/riders-with-pace
FOR those who have family history research interests in Tasmania, the Queensland Family History Society (QFHS) is proud to announce the release of the 1916 Tasmania Electoral Roll on CD. The CD was launched on July 29 at the National Australian Archives at Cannon Hill. The Electoral Roll is a unique source of public information on Tasmanians in 1916 and includes each elector’s name, title, sex, place of living, and occupation. Enrolment was compulsory in 1916, so men and women from all walksof-life are included. QFHS recognises that, for thorough research, family historians must be able to consult records from all over Australia and many other parts of the world. This publication demonstrates the Society’s commitment to a wide range of resources. The CD was prepared with the help of the Society’s voluntary indexers. It continues the high
quality productions of the Society, adding to the Commonwealth Electoral Roll–Queensland (CERQ) series. The coverage of all 135,452 electors in the 1916 rolls includes supplemental rolls and rolls of removed names, making this listing more comprehensive than that available via other websites. Using this CD it is possible to search on a name and other details to find family groups. The CD also features links from search results to maps of division boundaries. The Tasmanian Electoral Roll 1916 is available from the Secretary, QFHS, PO Box 171, Indooroopilly QLD 4068 or via the QFHS website www.qfhs.org.au. The roll may also be viewed at the QFHS Library and Resource Centre. You can find information about QFHS at www.qfhs.org.au. For enquiries, contact the Secretary via email: secretary@qfhs.org.au

Brush up on your dental health DID YOU know that August 3-10 August is National Dental Health Week? No longer is it regarded as inevitable that we’ll lose our teeth as we age. Modern treatment with its concentration on prevention of dental disease means we can keep our teeth for life. Nor do we have to flash ugly fillings or gold teeth when we smile. But don’t leave it all up to the dentist. You must do your bit by brushing at least twice a day, especially after meals, and flossing regularly. You only need to www.seniorsnewspaper.com.au
floss the teeth you want to keep. Of course you know to avoid sweet foods and drinks, which also helps control weight gain. Suffering from dry mouth? Discuss it with your dentist and also inform him of any health problems and medications you are taking – they could affect your dental health. Most important of all, visit your dentist regularly to make sure all is well inside your mouth. These simple precautions will mean that as we age we can keep smiling with confidence.

Sandgate Historical Society and Museum Inc.
SHIPS AHOY: Brian Hutchison and family celebrate a historical achievement at the book launch for Prawn Trawlers of Cabbage Tree Creek.
THE Sandgate Museum’s local history talk for August will be a presentation by longtime resident and author Brian Hutchison who recently launched his latest publication about the history of the Prawn Trawlers of Cabbage Tree Creek 1952-2014. Since, and surely before, the days of St Peter the Fisherman, prawns have been caught by an infinite number of processes around the globe ranging from hands-on stealth at first to current day hi-tech processes. This has been the situation in Moreton Bay, or closer to home, with respect to the prawn
trawling industry of Cabbage Tree Creek. Mid last century the Queensland Government commissioned trials to determine the viability of a State prawn trawling industry and no doubt jobs that it may create directly and generate in support industries. Changes to Queensland Legislation with respect to fishing processes and equipment resulted in the nucleus of a large industry State-wide, at first in Moreton Bay, that saw the growth of a large fleet of trawlers operating out of Cabbage Tree Creek. Prawn Trawlers of Cab-
bage Tree Creek 1952-2014 looks at the growth of the industry and the social and economic impact on the Sandgate community and contentious issues with respect to the environmental impact on the Creek and Bramble Bay and the wider Moreton Bay. Visitors are welcome to attend Brian’s presentation commencing at 2pm at the Sandgate Museum, 150 Rainbow St, Sandgate, to be followed by afternoon tea. Enquiries please phone 3869 2283 or 0408 073 179, email: sandgatemusm@bigpond.com or via our website: www.sandgatemuseum.com

More than 35% of those over 65 will fall each year
ACCORDING to government figures one in three over 65s will fall each year in Australia, resulting in more than 1,500,000 hospital days spent on fall-related injuries. More than 70% of these falls happen in or around the home, nearly 20% result in head injury and 30% to hip/leg fractures. Of all the available information there is no clear indication on how long people remain “undiscovered” following a fall. Emergency Medical Services specialises in fall de-
tection systems and monitoring with safeTwear, the world’s smallest-smartest fall pendant. Weighing only 34 grams and around the size of a matchbox this remarkable technology not only detects a fall, it also connects directly to our 24hour monitoring centre with two-way voice communication. Whether you are at home, in the garden, out for a walk or at the shops, slip, trip, fall or just push the panic button, you are connected directly with a monitoring specialist, talking with you directly
through the pendant. Help is quickly on the way, the built-in GPS gives them your exact location. In the event that you are rendered unconscious, we have your full medical history on file to share with responders and ensure you get the correct help in the quickest possible time. Technology that is so smart yet so simple to operate, each unit is programmed to suit the customer’s needs, all you need to know is push the button in the case that you need medical help or if you fall the system will au-
tomatically detect this. No more bulky base stations, limited voice distances, limits to in-home or connection to phone lines is needed. With safeTcare 24/7 professional monitoring, rest assured help will be with you immediately, giving absolute peace of mind for both you and your family. You’re not too young to get started with safeTwear – live life, love independence, stay at home and out of care, call us today to see if you qualify for our limited time FREE system offer, 1300 78 44 38.
Essential concessions to continue for state’s pensioners QUEENSLAND retirees will continue to receive concessions on energy, water and transport under budget measures announced in July by the Palaszczuk government. Concessions of up to $710
are available for eligible pensioners and discounts of 50% will be available for car registration and public transport fares. The state government has allocated $347 million to fund the concessions.
Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the state was covering a $52-million shortfall after the federal government cut its funding to the pensioner scheme. The 2015-16 electricity rebate remains at $321; the
natural gas scheme increases to $69. A $200 concession is available on rates and $120 on water. Pensioners are also eligible for four free long distance rail trips each year.

Weary Dunlop foundation fundraising appeal launch
THE invaluable contribution to the health and wellbeing of the veteran community made by Sir Edward ‘Weary’ Dunlop was commemorated in Melbourne on July 12,
marking the 30th anniversary of the creation of his medical research foundation and the launch of its annual fundraising appeal. Minister for Veteran Affairs Michael Ronaldson
said he was honoured to attend the annual commemoration ceremony at the Weary Dunlop Statue in Kings Domain to acknowledge Sir Edward’s lasting legacy. “The Sir Edward Weary
Dunlop Medical Research Foundation is the result of Sir Edward’s vision and his great compassion for others,” Mr Ronaldson said. “Thirty years on, we ack-
nowledge his foundation’s world-class work into the vital arena of veterans’ medical research.” The commemorative service coincided with the launch of the annual Sir
Nundah Men Shed bell stand creation KEVIN Lowry of the Nundah Men Shed recently constructed a beautiful bell stand for presentation to International House residential college at the University of Queensland. Director of International House Geoff McGlashan recently accepted it on behalf of the residential college. The stand is superb, beautifully designed and constructed and will serve International House for centuries to come. The Nundah Men Shed located at the Nundah Activity Centre, 15 Jenner Street, Nundah is made up of around 25 active members who attend operational days on Wednesday and Thursday each week. Whilst wood working and lathe work is a regular activity, welding and sharpening are other interests carried out. Some men also participate in the Bikes 4 Life (B4L) project restoring donated bikes for shipment to aboriginal communities and overseas countries where they can
be utilised. The B4L project operates on Wednesday and Sunday morning. The Men Shed and the B4L project welcomes more members and volunteers. Often men in retirement and semi-retirement are at a loose end. The men shed and the B4L projects can provide and interest as well as social, health and skill improvement benefits. Many existing and additional acquired skills can be utilised in undertaking important projects that benefit the community. A more recent project that the Nundah Men Shed is involved with is an internet radio station that operates out of the Nundah Activity Centre 24 hours a day/7 days a week. This plays easy listening music along with community announcements about what is happening in the men shed and at the Nundah Activity Centre. This can be heard via the internet anywhere in the world. It is anticipated
that when developed further, other local men sheds will be able to promote events and activities happening in their sheds and eventually men sheds across Australia can utilise the service. Currently the Nundah Men Shed shares space with two small commuter buses that are used for outings and collection of members for the extensive range of activities held at the Nundah Activity Centre. Should any business located nearby with undercover secure space to park these two buses at night and over weekends be willing to let us use the spaces it would be greatly appreciated. This would allow the men shed to be permanently set up and better utilised so equipment and tools did not have to be moved out and back each time to accommodate parking the buses. For more information about the Nundah Men’s Shed, Bikes 4 Life or any activities at the Nundah

THE Office of Fair Trading is urging consumers and businesses to ‘Get Smarter with Your Data’. Fair Trading acting executive director Tony Johnson said consumers and business needed to think about protecting their personal information from identity theft. “Sadly, identity crime is now one of the most common crimes in Australia, with an estimated economic impact exceeding $1.6 billion in this country every year,” he said. “Scammers will use your identity for all sorts of crimes. They can make unauthorised purchases on your credit card, open a bank account, take out loans and carry out other illegal business under your name. “Having your identity stolen can be both financially and emotionally devastating. It can take months to reclaim your identity and the impact of having it stolen can last for years. The good news is there are ways to minimise the risk of identity theft. To protect yourself follow these tips: Keep your personal details secure; think twice about what you say and do in an online environment; keep your mobile devices and computers secure; choose your passwords carefully; beware of any request for your details or money; and get a copy of your credit report. Contact your bank or credit union immediately if you think your banking details might have been compromised. You can also contact IDcare, Australia and New Zealand’s national identity support service. Visit www.idcare.org or call 1300 432 273. www.seniorsnewspaper.com.au
Retirees prudent in using their ‘super’
RETIREES are being prudent in the way they draw down their superannuation, with a report showing most older Australians are not restructuring assets to access the age pension. The Productivity Commission report, Superannuation Policy for Post-Retirement, explored when and how people accessed their superannuation, and examined what might happen if the age that individuals
can access their superannuation – the preservation age – is raised. The report found most retirees are prudent in the way they draw down on their superannuation. Researchers found factors such as disability were the reasons some drew down early and exhausted their savings. Where lump sums were taken, they were most frequently used to pay down
debt, invest in income stream products, and purchase durable goods for use in retirement. Less than 30% of superannuation benefits were taken as lump sums. “Having scrimped and saved all their lives, Australians are not blowing their super lump sums on luxury holidays,” said National Seniors CEO Michael O’Neill.

National Op Shop Week is August 23 to 30 MORE Australians are turning to charity op shops to buy clothes. Making a donation can help op shops from running short of stock and boosting donations to charity op shops is the aim of National Op Shop Week. It is an initiative of the DoSomething! charity in partnership with the National Association of Charitable Recycling Organisations. The campaign slogan for 2015 is “Op Till You Drop!” Red Cross, Salvos Stores and Vinnies are just some of the leading charity op shops involved in this year’s Op Shop Week. Donations of good quality items will be welcomed.
Don’t deal with Plus One Companions THE Office of Fair Trading is warning Queenslanders not to deal with online business Plus One Companions or its proprietors Matthew Elliot and Travis Burch. The Gold Coast-based business operates nationwide and purports to offer nonsexual escort services. The OFT has been made aware of the activities of the business following an investigation by another law enforcement agency. Plus One Companions advertises for “companions” on websites including Gumtree and Seek. A telemarketer then phones the applicant and takes payment in exchange for listing on a database accessible only by members. Companions pay between $219 and $495 and are promised 4-6 inquiries per month from members seeking companions, and the chance to earn $150 an hour and up to $150,000 a year. However, the investigation revealed Plus One Companions has no members and
no companions have ever received work. Fair Trading acting executive director Tony Johnson said the business was simply a sham and should be avoided. “The business has been set up with the sole intent to defraud and never intended to offer any legitimate service in exchange for payments received,” he said. “Before signing up to a dating or companionship service, consumers should do plenty of research. “Look for independent reviews on other websites and stick to services with a proven and longstanding reputation. Thoroughly read the terms and conditions before committing as some services require ongoing payments to remain a member or access more information about other members you might want to contact.” Investigations into the business and its proprietors are continuing.

Having trouble hearing? AUGUST 23-29 is National Hearing Awareness Week. Under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program, the Office of Hearing Services provides eligible clients access to hearing services and hearing devices. As an older Australian if you have a hearing loss, or would like to check if you have a hearing loss, you may be eligible to receive hearing services. Australian citizens or permanent resident aged 26 years or older and who meet at least one of the following criteria are eligible: ■ Pensioner Concession card holders; ■ Are in receipt of a Sickness Allowance from Centrelink; ■ Are a dependent of a person on one of those categories; ■ Are undergoing an Australian Governmentfunded disability management service and have been referred by your disability employ-
ment services case manager. If you meet the eligibility criteria, you can apply online at hearingservi ces.gov.au; or visit a hearing services provider who can apply online for you. When applying to the program for the first time, your doctor will need to sign a medical certificate form confirming you can be fitted for a device if you need one. Take the medical certificate to your chosen hearing services provider who can complete the application process on your behalf. When your eligibility is confirmed, the Office of Hearing Services will send you a welcome pack containing a letter, an information booklet and a list of hearing service providers. Using your voucher you will be able to access a range of hearing services and the majority will be fully subsidized by the government. Courtesy Office of Hearing Services
Costly cancer drugs on PBS BREAST and lung cancer patients can now have affordable access to lifechanging medicines that previously cost up to $80,000 for treatment. Patients now pay just $6.10 (concessional) or $37.70 (general) for breakthrough lung cancer medicine Crizotinib and breast cancer treatments Perjeta, Herceptin and Kadcyla as a result of their official listing on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. The listings will cost tax-
payers over a quarter-of-abillion dollars but Minister for Health, Sussan Ley said access to new medicines is crucial if Australians are to beat life-threatening diseases such as cancer, as well as overcome chronic and degenerative conditions that can rob them of their independence. “One in every $6 out of the $10 billion taxpayers invest in the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme every year is now spent on cancer treatments,” she said. “Access
to new medicines is crucial if we’re to help Australians beat these diseases.” Ms Ley said Perjeta, Herceptin and Kadcyla were used to treat HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer and would benefit 590 patients per year. Kadcyla provides an additional line of therapy where the disease has progressed despite previous treatment, while the combination of Perjeta and Herceptin would provide a more effective treatment option for this cancer
than Herceptin alone. Crizotnib is used to treat Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase-positive non-small cell lung cancer and will benefit approximately 154 patients with the rare lifethreatening disease. It will be listed through a managed entry scheme that will speed access for patients with the highest need for treatment. This is the first treatment available on the PBS that specifically targets the ALK gene rearrangement.
Is it the flu or just a cold? Telltale signs IT’S that time of year. Temperatures are dropping, but yours has risen. Plus you’ve developed a sniffle and sore throat and feel generally terrible. Have you come down with the flu or just a cold – or maybe it’s the start of something much more serious, some nasty bacteria? Colds and flu are caused by different viruses. Antibiotics have no effect and your body will build an immun-
ity against them when they’re really needed for bacterial infections. Prevention is the best medicine and good hygiene is the best weapon in your defence. Cough or sneeze into a tissue and pop it in the bin straight away, then wash your hands. If caught without a tissue or handkerchief, cough or sneeze into your elbow or hands, then wash your hands straight away.
You can tell you have a cold when you have a sore throat, run a temp, sneeze, cough and have a blocked or runny nose. The treatment is just as the old joke says – take an aspirin and go to bed and it will clear up in seven days; see a doctor and it will clear up in a week. However, if you’re still suffering after 10 days, then definitely go see your doctor. Flu is more severe and lasts
longer than a cold. You’ll still have the fever, sore throat and runny/blocked nose. In addition you can expect a dry, chesty cough, headache, tiredness, aching muscles, loss of appetite and difficulty in sleeping. If you’re over 65, have a long-term medical condition, weakened immune system, or if the symptoms get worse after 10 days, head to the doctor to have it investigated.

Bribie women: get screened! SUNSHINE Coast Hospital and Health Service’s BreastScreen Queensland mobile van is rolling onto Bribie Island. The van will be set up in the car park behind the Bribie Island Library at First Avenue, Bongaree during July and August. Health promotion officer Kelly Hart said appointments were now available, including some in the late afternoon and on Saturday morning. “It is always a really busy time for the mobile service whenever it comes to Bribie Island,” Ms Hart said.
“At this time in 2013, more than 1400 local women were screened when our service was at Bribie. Many of these women will now be due for their bi-annual rescreen. “There will also be many women that have received an invitation to attend BreastScreen for the first time. “However it is not just women who receive a letter from BreastScreen Queensland who can participate in this free screening program.” “Women aged 40 years and over who haven’t
received a letter from BreastScreen but who would like to make an appointment with our Service can just call 13 20 50. There are no referrals required,” she said. One in eight Queensland women will develop breast cancer at some stage in their life. As there is currently no means of preventing breast cancer, the focus in reducing deaths from this disease has been on finding breast cancer as early as possible. BreastScreen Queensland provides free breast screening to women aged
40 years and over. As the risk of breast cancer increases with age, all women aged 50-74 years are particularly encouraged to make an appointment. “There is simply no need for women to put off having a breast screen any longer. It’s quick, simple, free and our service is in Bribie for the next two months.” Ms Hart said. Phone 13 20 50 to make an appointment or for more information on the BreastScreen Queensland Service. Women aged 50-74 years are encouraged to attend.
‘Kettle’ exercises – ideal for when you’re just too busy to exercise THEY’RE called kettle exercises because they can be done by busy people while waiting for the kettle to boil, or even while talking on the telephone. All you need is a stable piece of furniture about the height of a kitchen bench to hold onto. Don’t hold your breath while doing these exercises!
Side leg raises (improves both strength and balance): Stand sideways to the bench and hold on with your right hand to support yourself. Slowly take your left leg out to your left side. Keep your back and both legs straight. Hold the position for one second then lower slowly. Repeat eight

times at first, increasing to 15. Turn around and hold on with your left hand while you raise your right leg. Half squats (improves leg strength): Stand facing the bench with your feet apart (about shoulder width), feet facing forward and holding on with both
hands. Leaning very slightly forward, but keeping your back straight, slowly bend both legs, keeping your knees over your feet. Do not go down too far. As you return to the up position, squeeze your buttocks together as if there is a $5 note between them that you don’t want to drop. Repeat
eight times at first, increasing to 15. Heel raises (for strength and balance): Stand sideways to the bench, feet apart (shoulder width) holding on with one hand to support yourself. Slowly rise on to your toes, hold for one second and lower again. Do this eight times
to begin with, increasing to 15. Make sure your movements are not rushed. As you progress, try these exercises holding on with one fingertip. Then not holding at all. If this is easy for you, try it with no hands and with your eyes closed. Courtesy www.health.gov. au.

Vibrant Singapore
THERE are many exciting cities on this planet – New York, London, Paris, Rome, to name a few. None is as vibrant, energetic and lively as Singapore. At the crossroads of the East, Singapore has one of the busiest ports in the world. Its international airport rates as the very best. It has the biggest Ferris wheel and one of the most unusual hotels. Its mass transit system would be difficult to beat. All of this in an island country with a population around 5.5 million in an area of 700sq km – about a third the size of the Australian Capital Territory. Singapore was founded as a British trading colony in 1819 by Stamford Raffles. It joined the Malaysian Federation in 1963 but separated two years later and became independent. It has since become one of the world’s most prosperous countries. In 2015 it celebrates 50 years of independence.
Many older Australians remember the dark days during the Second World War when Japanese forces controlled the island. Changi prisoner of war camp was notorious for the harsh treatment handed out to Allied and Malayan soldiers. Today, Changi is the name of Singapore’s main airport. While not the busiest, Changi certainly takes the prize as the best. Its three passenger terminals have outstanding facilities. While waiting for a flight you can take a shower, work out in a gym, watch movies for free, take a free sightseeing bus ride, let the kids play in the kids’ zone or stroll around the many duty-free shops. Access to the city is a breeze on the MRT – Mass Rapid Transit, a train system that is so efficient and so easy to use as well as being extremely economical. Trains on the MRT run every few minutes. Unlike Australian train stations, access to the tracks is prevented by a barrier with doors that open automati-
cally when the train stops. The trains are fast and clean and signs are in English. A ride from the city to Changi Airport costs less than $3. The Marina Bay Sands Hotel, built on reclaimed land near the harbour, is the world’s second most expensive building and one of the most unusual and recognisable. It consists of three towers each with 55 storeys, capped by the SkyPark with 360 degree views of the city. The SkyPark has restaurants, gardens, an incredible vanishing-edge pool and the world’s largest cantilever observation deck. One night will set you back around $500 for a standard room. Adjacent to the Marina Bay Sands are the Gardens by the Bay, covering over 100 hectares. The Flower Dome and Cloud Forest buildings house indoor exhibits. The Supertree Grove features vertical gardens ranging from 25-50m, shaped like trees out of the movie Avatar. A walkway allows

visitors to enjoy breathtaking aerial views. The Singapore Flyer is the world’s biggest ferris wheel at 165 metres tall. Its 28 airconditioned capsules take about 30 minutes for one rotation and hold up to 28 passengers. Rides start at $33 per person but you can take a high tea ride or a full dining ride complete with butler. Views from the top are excellent. No visit to Singapore would be complete without

going to Sentosa Island. Sentosa is accessible by cable car, causeway or monorail. With numerous themed attractions a whole day is hardly enough to sample the delights on offer. While Mandarin is the main language spoken, English is also an official language and most people understand it. All tourist signs are in English. Singapore is also a very clean city – harsh penalties deter litter-
ers and graffiti artists. Years ago, Singapore used to be a bargain-hunters paradise but today it is more upmarket although good deals can still be had. There is just so much more to see and do in Singapore – a week is barely adequate. Accommodation can be booked at hundreds of hotels. With a flying time from Brisbane of about seven hours, Singapore is easily accessible from Brisbane and worth the effort.

Visit City Hall Clock Tower
REMEMBER when Brisbane’s City Hall towered over its neighbours? It may be the small kid on the block now, but it is still an impressive building, especially after its recent facelift which saw it saved from imminent collapse. Once upon a time, not so long ago, it was a great event taking the lift up to the top of the clock tower to gaze out over the city. The view may be more restricted now, but you can still ride up to the top to explore this most iconic feature of the much-loved heritage-listed building. Daily free tours are every 15 minutes, 10am–5pm. Bookings are not required, but there is a limit on the number of people who can ride in the lift. During peak times, there may be a wait for tours. Get tickets on the day you visit from the Museum of Brisbane counter, Level 3, City Hall. Since the building was opened more than 80 years ago, hundreds of thousands of visitors have taken in the view from the observation deck. www.seniorsnewspaper.com.au

towns extending from Brisbane to Boulia via Roma, Charleville and Blackall. This also established the points of important centres with which the survey work of the whole colony could be connected
and enabled the mapping of Queensland on a more accurate basis. So beyond the black stump? That’s definitely anywhere west of Blackall. Visitors to the outback town can still find the
location of the Black Stump, tucked away behind the state school. The actual stump is no longer there having been burnt out but locals have replaced it with a stump of petrified wood, guaranteed fire-proof.

TO MOST folk the phrase “beyond the black stump” is just a vague indication of somewhere outback. But to the residents of Central Queensland’s Blackall it is a very definite place – it’s all the country to the west of their town. In 1887 the original Astro Station, where the town now lies, was chosen by the Surveyor General for the purpose of survey, based on the principal meridional circuit traverse around the town of Blackall. The circuit was 27 miles square and contained an area of 729 square miles. The surveyors used a handy stump to rest their theodolites on, big heavy brass objects that would have trouble balancing on the standard modern legs. This enabled them to fix the position of prime

Sue has a wealth of experience with international travel and many contacts in the industry. One of these contacts was a company called Made Easy Tours, another company specialising in small group international tours. With the owner of Made
Easy Tours wishing to retire and Stonestreets Travel entering a new phase of international touring, the Stonestreet Family decided to purchase Made Easy Tours, creating Stonestreets – Made Easy Tours. Since the amalgamation, Sue has been very busy

STONESTREETS Coaches and Travel has been escorting small group tours throughout Australia since 1993. During this time they have built a huge following of happy travellers and contributed to the creation of many wonderful memories. There isn’t a corner of Australia that a Stonestreets tour hasn’t seen – from bitumen freeways to not-so-smooth roads such as the Gunbarrel Track! Recently, at the suggestion of their Travel Club members, Stonestreets decided to explore the possibility of widening their speciality of personally escorted tours to overseas destinations. After much planning, Stonestreets Travel took its first Small Group International tour to the USA. That tour proved to be so popular that Stonestreets then arranged a tour through Europe culminating with a cruise on the River Rhine. The first European tour

Mega Cruising, bigger and better By Allan Blackburn CRUISING ships come in many shapes and sizes, most are really enjoyable. However, if you want a cruise that is exceptional, you need to try one of the mega cruise ships. The Royal Caribbean line has one of the biggest, Oasis of the Seas. This is a huge ship at over 225,000 tonnes and it carries over 6300 passengers and 2350 crew. Comparing Oasis of the Seas to a normal cruise ship is like comparing a standard hotel to a Las Vegas casino. The Oasis is over-the-top in every department. It has 16 decks, taller than many city structures. Most shopping centres would love to have a mall as big as the one on Oasis. The ship has 24 eateries, anchored by three large formal dining rooms. There are 20 bars and lounges, 24 high-speed lifts, over 20 pools and spas, large kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; entertainment areas, a special place for teenagers
Oasis of the Seas at Cozumel Mexico.
and a retreat exclusively for adults. The sports deck features a full-sized basketball court, mini-golf, table tennis area, two flow riders, a zip line and there is even an ice skating rink. A huge fitness centre has every kind of gym machine imaginable. The superlatives continue. One deck has Central Park which is a proper garden, complete with full-sized trees and countless shrubs and flowers.
It even has resident live butterflies. Two walls are covered in vertical gardens. It is a real retreat, away from the hustle of the busy areas. The stern deck has a Boardwalk which focuses on a carnival theme, with carousels, clowns, face painters, balloon artists and two five-storey high rock-climbing walls. The Aqua Theatre is the venue for the water shows. An amazing fountain display and three levels of
Central Park on board Oasis of the Seas.
diving platforms feature in the shows. The pool is the deepest on any ship, at 5.9 metres. There are so many entertainment venues that none are crowded, although some are filled on a first come, first served basis. Numerous live acts are repeated daily so that everyone has a chance to see them. The main theatre seats over 1300 people. The ship has a resident Broadway musical which runs for five years. Recently it was Hairspray but is about to change to Grease. Comedy shows, game shows, bingo, trivia, gambling in the casino, card games, craft classes, sports tournaments and dancing continue through the day and into the small hours. On every cruise the food is a highlight. This is certainly the case on the Oasis.
Arrivals are timed to give passengers maximum daylight hours on shore and the activities on offer are as many and varied as those on the ship itself. Are there any negatives? Well maybe one. Since the ship is essentially American, tipping is virtually mandatory. In fact, unless you pre-pay the tips, the company debits your account at least $12 per person per day, more if you are in a suite. Most on-board purchases also attract a 15% automatic tip, then they offer you the chance to add an extra tip! To Aussies, this may be slightly off-putting, but if it is budgeted in to the total, it is not so bad. All up, the Oasis of the Seas offers an unforgettable experience, one you are unlikely to regret. You will certainly be talking about it for a long time.
If the cuisine in the three main dining rooms is not to your fancy, you can opt for one of the specialty restaurants, or maybe go for a pizza or to one of the bistros where you can eat as much as you want as often as you want. The choice is astounding and would satisfy even the most fastidious eater. The ship is so large that its movement is barely discernable, even in rough seas. Hence, seasickness is not a problem. Disembarking for shore excursions is a streamlined event that is efficient and fast. The whole ship is cashless. Your Seapass card works as a stateroom key and as a credit card for all on-board purchases. Shore excursions are available when the ship docks in such exotic destinations as the Bahamas, Jamaica, Haiti, Grand Caymans, St Maartenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or Cozumel in Mexico.

Police to give gardeners hints and tips on safety
WHEN the Mitchelton and Districts Garden Club Inc. meets on Thursday morning, September 3 at the Enoggera Memorial Hall, the guest speaker will be a representative from the Queensland Police Service. The topic will be Senior Safety Precautions. You might think this subject is a bit unusual for a garden club, but nowadays – especially for seniors, personal safety and protection of belongings is of the utmost importance. Hardly a day goes by without there being an item in the newspaper or on TV about a senior being assaulted and robbed, carjacked, losing identity and money from their bank accounts through a scammer, or defrauded by an unprofessional tradesman
QCWA Craft Market Aug 22 QCWA Clontarf Branch will hold a craft market on Saturday August 22 from 8am to 1pm at the hall, Cnr Victoria Ave and Georgina Stt, Woody Point. Free entry; come along and see our crafts, jewellery, woodwork, plants, knitting, sewing, cooking and much more. The hall will protect us from all weather. Refreshments available, see you there. Phone 5497 8757.
or salesperson. Most of those attending garden club meetings are seniors who grew up during the years when there was a great deal of trust, so the information imparted by the guest speaker will convey the pitfalls and the precautions to take to
Winter chills cold comfort for pets!
THE cold weather has returned with a vengeance and you may have noticed your older dog, cat or even horse starting to look a bit stiff when they walk and having trouble getting up from a lying position. Yes, it’s probably old age and a bit of arthritis but did you know that you can do something about it! They can be made a lot more comfortable during winter by providing warm and comfortable bedding. A visit to your vet will also help make them feel better during winter. Often they can be given anti-inflammatories to

Or perhaps you’ve got an old warm shirt you don’t need! If your pet won’t destroy it a hot water bottle wrapped well in a towel will help keep them comfortable too. You can also purchase special heating pads from pet stores. Many people say that winter is the best time of year in Queensland. They’re probably right. Just don’t forget that your pet can’t pop down to the local Target for a new sweater. Keeping him or her warm is your responsibility!
THE Logan and District Orchid Society Annual Winter Show is on Saturday and Sunday August 29-30, 8.30am-3 pm at the Logan Central Community Centre, Cnr Jacaranda Ave and Wembley Rd Logan Central. It’s wheelchair friendly with plenty of parking,

Arthritis affects animals and humans and the symptoms can be treated with the right medication.

AN ELDERLY man driving erratically was stopped by the police around 2am and was asked where he was going at that time of night. The man replied, “I’m on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late.” The officer then asked, “Really? “Who’s giving that lecture at this time of night?” The man replied, “That would be my wife.”
preserve safety. When autograph books were in fashion, one of the verses written was “Love many. Trust few. Always paddle your own canoe”. With the way some members of our society behave today, that adage from days gone by might be a good one to observe.
In August, gardeners have plenty of things to do such as removing bindi-eye from the lawn before it goes to seed, sowing seeds for summer annuals and vegetables, and checking if aphids are attacking new growth. Pure soap sprays provide a safe control of this pest, or squashing them between your finger and thumb works too. Be careful not to crush the new growth in the process. The meeting commences with morning tea at 9.45am and visitors and new members are most welcome. The Enoggera Memorial Hall which is close to public transport, is situated at the corner of Wardell and Trundle streets, Enoggera For more information, please phone Pat, the president, on 3356 1256.

Qld Pops Orchestra: The Early Days
Pacific Tides Festival on soon A FESTIVAL of indigenous and Pacific Islander culture will light up the Redland Performing Arts Centre when the inaugural Pacific Tides Festival comes to the Redlands on Saturday August 8. Redland City Mayor Karen Williams said the festival would include a huge range of activities to celebrate the Redlands’ strong connections with indigenous and slander culture. “The Pacific Tides Festival will be a great familyfriendly way to celebrate diverse indigenous and Pacific Islander cultures, all in central Cleveland,” Cr Williams said. “There’ll be dancing and singing, lots of free family activities, an eco-fair, digital media space, plus dis-
plays of islander heritage and visual art. “Anyone can come and enjoy a free day of outdoor entertainment before heading inside (the Arts Centre) to enjoy the headline ‘Pacific Sounds’ concert for just $35 a ticket later in the evening.” Redland City Council cultural spokesman Cr Lance Hewlett said audiences will be able to enjoy traditional and contemporary indigenous and Pacific Islander entertainment on the outdoor island stage, feast from selected food vendors and browse the many stalls in the craft market. “The Saturday night ticketed event Pacific Sound is outstanding value as it features a great line-up of
international, national and local profile musicians from the indigenous and Pacific Islander musical community,” he said. Headlining the concert will be one of the region’s hottest young Pacific artists SWISS and The Voice semi-finalist Fatai, plus Dubmarine, CKNU, Mark Lowndes and JSQZE. To book tickets for the concert or for further information about the festival visit www.rpac.com. au or call the RPAC Box Office on 3829 8131. The Pacific Tides Festival is part of the Quandamooka Festival’s three month program of events, running until the end of September. Visit www.quadamooka festival.com.au.

TO QUOTE from the introductory program notes of the Lord Mayor’s 19th Command Performance from October 10, 1985: “It is considered by experts that Colin Harper’s choice of music will fill a void in Brisbane’s cultural life and – as is evident already – will make his new orchestra a popular institution”. This 1985 concert – only the fourth by Brisbane’s newest professional orchestra, The Queensland Pops – took place at the then recently opened Concert Hall of the Queensland Performing Arts Complex. It continued a year of history in the making, following the QPO’s inaugural performance in the QPAC Lyric Theatre on New Year’s Eve, 1984 – which was effectively the “christening” concert of the new theatre complex, taking place several months before QPAC’s official opening in April 1985. The Queensland Pops Orchestra is justifiably proud to be celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Founder conductor/music director Colin Harper believed there was a need in Queensland (and particularly in Brisbane) for an orchestra able to cater for the vast middle-of-the-road public who liked a potpourri of well-known opera arias, popular classics, sentimental old melodies,
modern musicals and – as Harper once said – a little not-too-loud “pop”. Harper guided and nurtured the orchestra to great national acclaim before his untimely passing in early 2004. He took the Pops’ hugely successful Scotland The Brave concert series to the Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Concert Hall in 1999, and both were sellout performances by an orchestra unknown to interstate audiences. In the early concerts, Colin Harper’s bent for production was palpable. His eye for visual effects, expert lighting and a constant stage turnaround of singers, dancers and scenestealers of all colours, shapes and sizes ensured the orchestra lived up to its premise: to entertain and enthral, in a light-hearted yet highly polished and professional way. During the orchestra’s first full year of concerts in 1985, the Queensland Pops Orchestra fielded an average of 60 players per concert. Sponsorship enabled Harper to headline popular local stars of the time, including Brisbane comedy cabaret band Wickety Wak and singer (and future G&S musical entrepreneur) Simon Gallaher among others. Right from the start the Pops gave young, talented singers and instrumental
artists their first big break – to perform live on stage with a full symphony orchestra. Artists from these very early concerts who have gone on to achieve national and international acclaim include opera singer sisters Miriam and Clare Gormley and ABC TV’s Choir Of Hard Knocks director Jonathan Welch. The orchestra travelled to the Australian Wool Shed at Ferny Grove, Sanctuary Cove, Kooralbyn Valley, the Pine Rivers Shire, The Gold Coast Arts Centre, The Nambour Civic Centre, Twin Towns Services Club and Toowoomba’s Empire Theatre to spread its magic for the masses. By 1988, the Queensland Pops Orchestra had established itself as one of Australia’s foremost light entertainment orchestras, and that legacy continues under the enterprising and dynamic stewardship of conductor/music director Patrick Pickett CSM. As cellist with the Pops since 1985, I have watched with pride how the orchestra has continued to evolve and prosper. Such classics as Rossini’s William Tell Overture, “Barcarolle” from Offenbach’s Tales Of Hoffman, “A Neil Diamond Medley” and Bizet’s duet from The Pearl Fishers remind us that finely crafted popular music will always be in demand.

Queensland Speedway Museum plans There is capacity to display over 70 vehicles and large volumes of memorabilia across all areas of motorsport. Mr Bone has taken a lease of a further 1600sq m of showroom below the existing museum, which opened in January. He is determined to provide for road and race motorcycles and cars, including a special area for speedway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a museum within a museum.
There is currently a reference library, theatrette, conference room and retail shop in place. Work has started to move to the new location. The inner city location in the Ipswich City Square, is a five minute undercover walk from the rail station and has free undercover parking for up to three hours. Opening hours will be extended to seven days

with the support of additional volunteers. The vision for the museum is to be a social hub that encourages the respect, retention and recognition of our motor sport heritage. It will also provide a meeting place, an educational resource and a repository of national and international motorsport history for future generations. All exhibits will be on loan in a custodianship arrangement. This facility ticks all the boxes for a Queensland-based museum, which will enhance the tourist potential and provide a location and archive for the safe custody of speedway memorabilia. Information can be obtained from Mr Bone at QMMipswich@ qldmotorsport.org. For the speedway section contact Tony Webb on binbooks@iinet.net.au. The speedway area will cover bikes, longtrack, sidecars and speedcars.
It will be subdivided into bays for Ipswich speedway, Ekka, local heroes, in memoriam, history, in the workshop, ladies in speedway, clubs, promoters, publications and world champions. Organisers are also looking for volunteers who could give a few hours to be in attendance.
A meeting room with audio/dvd system is available for clubs and groups for a fee. The venue is adjacent to a coffee shop and food outlets. The reference library is available on an annual membership fee of $35. General admission is $10, seniors concessions.
