Footy, whether played with a round ball or oval one, on a rectangular field or an oval field, is a great way to get outside, run around and have a kick with family or friends, writes Pat Rae.

n this beautiful country we have an abundance of outdoor footy codes to choose from and we are blessed by having so many wide open spaces to play on with mild winters and hot summers. So it makes perfect sense then to head down to your local footy club and get your kids involved in one of the codes.

For those who live under rocks, the codes I’m referring to are: • Rugby Union • Rugby League • Australian Rules Football • Football otherwise known as soccer, and • Touch Footy. But how do you as parents know which code to choose? I’m going to attempt to put forward an unbiased view on all of the choices available so all the Mum & Dads can choose which footy code to sign their kids up to next season. But first a few words on safety.

Footy safety for kids All of the five footy codes have modified rules for kids, making the game very safe at the early stages. In fact safety is paramount. Most kids can start playing any of the footy codes when they’re around the 5-7 years of age and they usually start on a smaller field, with a smaller ball and smaller scoring areas for shorter time frames. Focus is more on participation rather than winning and losing with the emphasis on team culture, learning specific skills like catch & pass, running weaving & kicking. In fact none of the codes even keep score in the first few years of participation. Parents are often concerned about their kids being hurt due to the physical contact nature of each code. While contact is part of the games and kids are going to get knocks, bumps and bruises, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that kids that don’t suffer from knocks, bumps and bruises in their early years are more likely to suffer from other health issues later in life.

Get on board! TRANSITCARE COMMUNITY FLYERS — KEEPING CLIENTS MOBILE AND INDEPENDENT Anyone who has been around Logan for a while would have seen the Logan and Albert North Disability Services vehicles, otherwise known as LANDS community transport vehicles, writes Wendy Johnson.

ell known Logan identity, the late Ann Langley, helped form a support group in 1992 to assist transporting people with Multiple Sclerosis from the Logan area to the Royal Brisbane Hospital and to the MS Centre at Dutton Park. Last year, LANDS was officially rebranded TransitCare to better reflect the not-for-profit organisation’s services and plans for the future. The fleet of 45 vehicles with their bright green graphics are now known as Community Flyers. The model hasn’t changed — TransitCare services the Logan and South Brisbane areas, providing a pre-booked, door to door travel system. And as the service is shared, transport costs are lower than traditional public transport. Louis de Beer, CEO of TransitCare, says that they have about 65 staff including drivers and another 60 volunteers right across the business, with some of the staff having commenced as volunteers. “A number of our staff have been with us for more than ten years, and a number of volunteers even longer. Where possible I try to offer positions to people with disabilities due to the sensitivity of the work we do.”

Freedom and independence

From the state-of-the-art centre based at Eight Mile Plains, the team facilitates transport services for the frail, elderly, and people with disabilities. Their assistance helps provide clients with the freedom to participate in their own community and live independently in their own homes. Their clients use the service for medical appointments, visiting friends, shopping, banking and social occasions. “We had been grappling with a term to describe the diverse aspects of the business,” Louis says, “and this year we finally decided that it was “freedom to access the community”, that means we will do whatever it takes to help people live at home and access their community. We then decided that if community care logistics is what we do, we had better find the best system we can.”

The pre-booked, shared service is provided by a fleet of mostly disability accessible Community Flyers and taxis. Due to the random nature of bookings, the despatch system uses a complex set of algorithms and mapping to get the right client into the right vehicle at the right time.

Accessing the service

The system works through a high-tech call centre where potential clients register with TransitCare. Their needs are assessed and then matched with the appropriate level of service. When the client wishes to use the service they simply pre-book their travel in advance either by phone or online.

TransitCare staff then use custom built computer software solutions to create each trip schedule which is downloaded to the driver’s computer tablet or directly to a taxi. The client’s journey is tracked and all the trip data is checked and reviewed to provide information to the system to continually improve services. The latest client surveys give glowing accounts of the service including value for money, and that clients are happy with the regularly “on time” service provided. So it’s fitting that founding chairperson of TransitCare, Ann Langley should have the last word, “For our organisation to continue to be the best, our consumers’ needs must reign supreme. Always.”

The facts about visual problems from Behavioural Optometrists: • One in four children are likely to have an undiagnosed eye problem • In a recent screening that I have performed; over 50% failed the Vision Screening and 90% of those who failed the screening had a vision problem when further tests were carried out. • Children who are performing in the lower third of the class are 66% more likely to have an eye teaming or eye coordination issue • Children with ADHD are 3 times more likely to suffer from eye teaming difficulty which have overlapping symptoms

Symptoms to look for with your child — • Blurring of vision when reading or copying from the board • Headaches; red eyes or eyelids • Holds book very close; Tilts head or closes one eye when reading or writing • Eyes sore or itchy after doing close work; rubs eyes a lot • Loses place when reading or skips words or lines when reading or writing • Confuses words with similar beginnings; short attention span when reading • Untidy writing

If the child is performing inadequately in any of the above, it will affect the child’s performance if not already doing so. If the eyes are not working efficiently, the child has to spend more energy on working their eyes rather than concentrating on learning. Behavioural Optometrists are optometrists that will spend 45 minutes to 1 hour in order to fully investigate the child’s eyes properly and to determine if there are any issues in the above areas. These areas will not be investigated by a normal optometrist.

Specials R.M. Williams Stockyard Jeans

If your child suffers from one or more of the above then they should have their eyes tested urgently by a Behavioural Optometrist. The standard eye examination will not look into all the causes of these symptoms. Treatment options include Vision Therapy; glasses - anti fatigue lenses which are performance enhancing lenses; and tinted lenses – for Meares Irlen Syndrome.The good news is, when the visual problems are treated, most if not all of the symptoms disappear or are reduced.

In fact, it’s during these running, jumping, kicking, passing, tackling and generally rolling around in the grass and mud activities that kids build immunity, strengthen joints, ligaments, muscles and tendons as well as get fit, grow and become strong. They also build relationships with others, learn to be part of a team and develop leadership skills. As our kids grow into teenagers and young adults, the laws of each code modify slightly to allow more participation, more skills to be learnt, more dynamic movement and play. Competition is added, scores are counted and tallied and there are winners and losers.

Rugby League Rugby league is very similar to rugby union. In fact rugby league originated from rugby union. Back at the turn of the 20th century, a few north England rugby union clubs wanted to pay their players to play rugby union,(Rugby union remained an amateur sport until 1995) but the English administrators wouldn’t allow it, so these clubs decided to break away from its rugby union rulers, created their own form of the game by reducing the players on the field from 15 to 13, changed some of the laws and changed the name from rugby union to rugby league.

Football/Soccer • The original footy code, football or soccer as it is known down under, is played on a rectangle field with the round ball. • Two teams of 11 attempt to move the ball downfield by only using their feet to kick the ball to each other either forward, sideways or back and then into the opponents goal, which has the only person in the team who is allowed to use their hands to stop the ball going into the goal net, the goalie.

Some might say that competition is bad for you. Well guess what, life is a competition, for that next job, for a position in a school, for a position on a committee. Kids need to win to experience the highs that are associated with it and they also need to lose. It’s only when you lose that most learning is done.

• The major difference between union and league (other than the fact that there are two less players per team on the field in league) is that in rugby union a team can maintain possession for as long as it continues to play within the spirit and laws of the game.

• Opponents attempt to gain possession by intercepting kicks and by taking the ball from their opponents whilst in possession.

• In league, a team gets five tackles to advance the ball downfield by running and passing the ball backwards to team mates to ground the ball on or beyond the opponents try line. If they fail to do so, they have to either kick the ball downfield or risk handing over possession if they’re caught on the 6th tackle. • Opponents attempt to gain possession by catching kicks or intercepting passes or by tackling opponents whilst in possession.

Choosing a footy code Probably the most obvious choice you’re going to make as a parent is to sign your child to the same sport that you play or used to play. But what if you didn’t play when you were young? Here are some of the options:

Australian Rules Football • Aussie Rules is played on an oval field with two teams of equal players (18 at senior level) attempting to win the ball from the centre bounce and then move it by either running, kicking or hand-balling it to team mates so that it can be kicked between a set of goal posts at either end of the field. • Six points is awarded for the ball between the two taller posts and one point is awarded for getting it between one of the taller posts and one of the smaller posts. • Opponents attempt to gain possession by intercepting kicks or hand balls and by tackling opponents whilst in possession.

Mechanical & Inspections All Makes and Models

Touch Football The newest form of footy to venture onto our fields is called touch football.

Rugby Union Did you know that the game originated at an English boarding school called “Rugby” in the late 19th century? William Webb Ellis, a pupil at the school was playing a game of football, when he was said to have picked the ball up and ran with it, thus inventing the game “now played in heaven” called rugby. • In rugby union, played on a rectangular field, two teams of 15 players (at senior level) attempt to move the ball downfield by running, passing backwards or kicking, with the end result being to ground the ball on or beyond the opponents try line. • Five points are awarded for a try. • Opponents attempt to gain possession by catching kicks or intercepting passes or by tackling opponents whilst in possession.

• Played in a similar vein to rugby league, teams of seven play on a smaller rectangular field, with the object being to move the ball downfield by passing the oval football backwards to team mates and, much like rugby league, teams get five attempts to move the ball downfield before handing over possession to their opponents.

Pat Rae Personal Training Springwood www.prpt.com.au 0414 654 372

• The only difference between league and touch football is that there is no tackling involved (and no kicking). • Defenders only have to touch the ball carrier with one hand whereas in rugby union and rugby league, opponents are allowed to tackle the ball carrier and bring them to ground. • The only way an opponent gains possession is by either intercepting a pass by an opponent or by waiting til the team in possession has been forced to hand over the ball because they’ve failed to score a try before the 6th touch.

Severe Headaches? Living with headaches is tough.

Day after day of being miserable, irritable, and looking a lot older than you really are. The frustration of knowing that your friends and family don’t understand what you’re going through. Add this to doctors’ visits, MRI’s and CT scans -- which only come back with “normal” results.

the Gap Every vote counts! in Logan

• Granite & Quartz Benchtops • Soft Close Doors & Drawers • 2 Pac Finish

An innovative partnership between the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) and four Logan young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander future leaders, guided by their mentor local elder “Uncle” Barry Watson, is delivering results that will be seen not only on Federal election night this year but for years to come.

he pilot project in Logan City is supporting Corie Duff, Briannah Green, Paula Reid and Reeghan Finlay to take a leading role in community networking and governance. They each have a portfolio and, supported by Uncle Barry attend community meetings and build networks within their community. All with the aim of encouraging and building their community’s understanding of the electoral process, including enrolling to vote and casting their vote on polling day. Uncle Barry’s task is to drive the Sterritt Indigenous youth project in Logan. As Chairperson of Gunya Meta and Elder in Residence at The Salvation Army in Slacks Creek, Uncle Barry is a well-known and respected community worker and advocate for his community. “We selected the four young people and a couple of community elders are mentoring them to take on more responsibility in their community. Their portfolios centre on early education, youth services, cultural and heritage, employment, sport and recreation and governance, and setting up a community website. They take a big role in our monthly community network meetings where we might have 40-50 people come along. We get the young people to set the agenda and run the meetings and organise guest speakers.” There are nearly 9,000 Indigenous people in Logan City and nearly 25% of the state’s Indigenous population live in the south-east corner and there is a lot of respect for the elders. “Elders are recognised in our community by the work that they do, the knowledge they have

and how they hold themselves in the community, how they pass on things to the younger generation,” Uncle Barry says. “The young people love to listen to stories of the old days.”

Leading change in the community

The project is part of the AEC’s Indigenous Electoral Participation Program, which is funded through the Closing the Gap initiative. The AEC frequently invites officials from other countries to observe elections and learn about Australia’s democratic processes, but this is the first time the same opportunity has been offered to community members. Elle Price, Indigenous and Community Engagement Officer, said Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders were much less likely to enrol to vote and participate in federal elections than other Australians. “It’s a pilot project for us here in Logan with young people who have a real commitment to leading change in their community,” Elle says. “We will show them how the election process ties into change and how voting for a government can be part of leading change in the community. “It’s really important that young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people enrol to vote and make sure their vote is counted on election day,” Elle says. “Voting is your opportunity to have a say in your future and the future of your community. If you’re not voting, then your voice isn’t being heard.” The AEC will consider extending the opportunity to other communities with large Indigenous populations at future election events if the Logan trial is a success.

usinesses will be going over the last year looking at the figures and hopefully there will be some improvement or even some growth. A man told me today that he has doubled his business each year for the past three years. That is outstanding in this economic climate. I asked him about that and how he did it. He said that he is always re-inventing himself and specialising, in other words working smarter

rather than harder. This I think is good advice and I would encourage everyone at this time to take a good look at their business and make necessary changes as required. I would like to hear about successes as in this year of the “positive” we want to hear these stories and acknowledge them.

Pam Parker Message from the Mayor of Logan City

Rediscover Logan

always refer to Logan as a city of opportunity with a community spirit second to none, and from next month, we’ll be showing our residents and community why it’s time to rediscover Logan. I am thrilled to announce that in early September, I will be launching an exciting series of publications titled “Rediscover Logan”. These four booklets will be overflowing with stories of Logan’s heroes and stars, our amazing volunteers, our city’s thriving businesses and glimpses of our past, present and future.

The aim of these publications is to empower our children and our wider community with knowledge about the amazing community we have in Logan. I have long believed that the best way to build our city’s image is with positive stories, and what we have compiled within these publications will put into the hands and heads of our children and our community, inspirational stories that may otherwise go unrecognised. Stories of unsung heroes like Ada Banks our International Volunteer of the Year, stars like Sonia Kruger – who have become television icons in Australia, and sporting greats like Cameron Smith and Michael Voss – who have led their teams to victory at the highest levels in their respective football codes. Logan is filled with stories of success and we all need to start recognising our achievements and spreading the word!

We have so much to be proud of here in Logan, and I hope that when people read our Rediscover Logan publications, that individuals from both inside and outside of our city will start to see Logan the way I see it – a city filled with amazing people and businesses that continue to achieve the highest goals and greatest successes. It is my hope that everyone will have the opportunity to learn about the people and places that make up our great city, and that throughout Logan, people will be inspired to dream big and achieve their goals.

Blue Cedar Furniture Works & Construction Skills Queensland When Tim Muscat, owner of Blue Cedars Furniture Works at Hillcrest needed another apprentice he looked no further than the young woman who had come to him for work experience as a cabinet maker, writes Wendy Johnson.

s a Year 12 student at Browns Plains State High School, Alyssa Carter had always known that she wanted to work with wood but couldn’t imagine herself as a carpenter. When she started the Construction Skills Queensland “Doorways 2 Construction” program she was offered work experience with Tim’s company. Alyssa was a natural and had all the passion needed to make cabinetmaking her career.

Blue Cedars

Tim says he has been very happy with his two female apprentices. “Alyssa has come to us through the “Doorways 2 Construction” program. By the time she was half way through her work experience she was doing edging and before she finished she could complete an edge using the machine and also cleaned up the edges. It’s very hard to find people who can catch on so quickly.”

Learning on the job

Now half way through her four year apprenticeship, Alyssa says that she loves that she’s not doing the same thing all the time. “I like the timberwork and going out to do kitchen installations. We installed touch lights in an overhead kitchen cabinet system this morning; that was interesting.” Alyssa says that there is quite a bit to learn on the job, like learning about the different materials

and equipment they use in the workshop, the glues and what to use them for and more importantly what not to use them for. She would definitely encourage other young women to take up a trade. Ken Barrett, Senior Field Officer with CSQ has helped place a couple of apprentices with Tim Muscat over the past few years. “CSQ has a lot to offer industry. Most business owners don’t know what we can do or the level of funding that we have. The training such as “Doorways 2 Construction” and other CSQ programs blows them away when we explain to them what’s on offer.” Tim says that the work at Blue Cedars is always varied. “At the moment we are doing a motor-home fit out, commercial work in the city, and timber bench tops. We do all the work ourselves so it’s hard to find people who can switch from one type of work to another. Alyssa has been able to do that.”

As a former apprentice himself, Tim was happy to start his own business and understands the apprenticeship system well. “We’ve had other workers but they were mostly used to just one type of work and wanted to just work continuously on one job. We might do three kitchens in a row and then not for another month and then do stonework or timber work. In this business the apprentices need to be versatile.”

Kiwis Love Queensland!

REDUCTION

Kiwis Love Queensland!

t’s official! Queensland is New Zealand’s favourite Australian holiday destination with the State welcoming 409,000 Kiwis who spent $520 million on their trips to the State in the year to March 2013. Premier Campbell Newman said recently that New Zealand remained Queensland’s largest international market and, through Tourism and Events Queensland TEQ, the State Government had undertaken marketing and trade initiatives in the country during the past 12 months to lure more Kiwis to the State. Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ) will host more than 40 New Zealand travel agents on a tour of Queensland in August as part of the third instalment of the ‘Tri-State Walkabout’ tourism trade event. The Premier said the Tri-State Walkabout consisted of a two-day training workshop in Melbourne from 20-21 August with pre and posttours taking place across Queensland. “The Tri-State Walkabout is coordinated by TEQ, Destination New South Wales and Tourism Victoria, and is a key training event for New Zealand retail, wholesale and corporate agents to attend, learn about and experience Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria,” Mr Newman said. “The event gives us the chance to give these trade partners a firsthand taste of Queensland’s premier

tourism products and experiences. The Premier said that around 100 travel agents will converge on Australia for the training workshop and will have the chance to experience more than 90 Australian tourism products, including 45 from Queensland. “The pre and post-workshop tours will see more than 40 of these travel agents visit Queensland’s Southern Great Barrier Reef, Outback, Sunshine Coast, Tropical North and the Gold Coast.” From October, Emirates will begin their first regular A380 service on its Auckland-Brisbane route which will increase seat capacity by 38 per cent, allowing up to 49,000 extra New Zealand visitors to travel to the State each year. Extensive TEQ marketing activity undertaken in partnership with Emirates earlier this year delivered a 20 per cent increase in sales for the airline compared to the same period last year. June marked the start of the second season of Air New Zealand’s Auckland-Sunshine Coast flights, offering an extra 3,000 seats for New Zealanders travelling to the region. To support these services, TEQ has worked with the airline and industry partners to promote the flights and Sunshine Coast holiday packages through print, television and online avenues such as Yahoo! Mr Newman said TEQ had also signed a

BEFORE

three-year cooperative marketing agreement with Qantas earlier in the month. “A key focus of the new agreement will be to promote Queensland holiday experiences in New Zealand. The Government is opening the State to tourism and by continuing to work with industry, tourists and operators we will re-establish Queensland as a great State with great opportunities.”

Mid-sixties is too young to act old

ith the average life-expectancy in Australia now in the mid-eighties, retirement at sixty is not as common as it used to be. Fortunately, at RSL Cares Independent Retirement Living communities in Waterford, Parkinson and Sunnybank Hills, you can ‘retire young’, safe in the knowledge that care and support is on your doorstep with Aged care and Homecare services on site. Retirement Living Consultant Margaret Dickson said the communities offer a range of independent and lowmaintenance accommodation styles including villas, apartments and studios to suit all tastes and budgets, while its equally broad range of social committees and community facilities enable residents to be as active as they wish. “Retirement living is not about retiring from life. It’s about doing what you want to do and when, and having the freedom and choice to do so. At RSL Care communities, our residents enjoy active social lives with neighbours who become friends and friends who become family. It’s a true sense of community and comrade that has become synonymous with RSL Care,” Mrs Dickson said. “A sense of RSL Care Independent Living Communities is further enhanced by residents who generously donate time to volunteer in RSL Care’s residential care communities (located in the same grounds as its retirement living communities) and by other residents who participate in charity benefits and causes. “And, if or when care needs change, our residents take comfort in knowing that RSL HomeCare services are available throughout our communities, enabling

Community Spring Fair

residents to remain independent in their own homes for as long as possible. “Choosing what to do and when is one of the many benefits of retirement living; knowing that it is accessible, affordable and that needs can be catered for as they change are some of the benefits of retirement at Talbarra with RSL Care.”

he whole community is invited along to Talbarra Retirement community for a Spring Fair on Sat 7th September from 10am – 1pm The event will feature a variety of market stalls (including cakes, jams, craft, plants, white elephant and more), information, free sausage sizzle and refreshments and a special visitors prize draw. For those interested in learning more about retirement options for themselves or a loved one, there will be information and experts available from RSL Home Care, Aged Care and Golden Years Home Transitions covering everything you need to know to ensure your mature years are as active and independent as possible!

Knitting Group Lend Their Needles to Teach Refugees

arsden Gardens knitting group have teamed up with Access Community Services Limited to teach refugees how to knit. The Logan City Council has come on board with a donation to the group who in turn have been able to supply yarn and other items to allow two groups to meet every Wednesday morning for lessons. Village Manager Peter Zielonka says “It was very pleasing to see and hear the fun that our residents and the visitors had throughout

their first lesson. We started out with only a few visitors, and then the word got around. Some of the ladies were going to English classes and begged to come to us instead. Interpreters couldn’t explain or translate ‘knitting’ so they had to come along to see for themselves!” The residents are thrilled to be able to give back to their local community and look forward to continuing their work and friendships with the refugees.

Creativity tops the class for artists in schools ARTISTS WILL TEAM UP WITH TEACHERS AND STUDENTS IN 14 QUEENSLAND SCHOOLS IN A PROGRAM THAT USES ARTS AS A TOOL TO ENHANCE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES.

rts Minister Ian Walker said the Artist in Residence program will give hundreds of children across the state a chance to explore their creative side. “The 2013 program is all about bringing Arts to all Queenslanders and making this state a cultural hub,” Mr Walker said. “It gives $245,170 in Queensland and Australian Government funding to seven metropolitan and seven regional schools.” Minister Walker said the successful Cape York Instrumental Project, led by the Queensland Music Festival (QMF), will be funded for a second phase. “This project has made a great start establishing an instrumental music program at Cape York Aboriginal Australian Academy campuses in Hope Vale, Aurukun and Coen, with students performing in 2013 in the Yarrabah Brass Band as part of QMF,” he said.

Australia Council for the Arts Chief Executive Officer Tony Grybowski said the Artist in Residence Initiative was an innovative program that placed professional practising artists in schools to realise the benefits of creative practice, in partnership with teachers and students. “More than 280 residencies have been undertaken across Australia since 2008, delivering strong partnerships between artists, teachers and students,” Mr Grybowski said. “There are 14 residencies in the 2013 Queensland round and the calibre of artists is extraordinary. I look forward to seeing the outcomes for all those involved.” The Artist in Residence program is a threeyear partnership (2013-2015) between the Queensland Government and the Australia Council for the Arts.

Eat Yourself Happy

The last decade has seen the emergence of two new epidemics - we are facing exploding numbers of people affected by depression, and a more rapid growth in obesity numbers, writes Marianne Fernance. A recent poll by TIME magazine (July 2013) found that 25% of Americans were taking antidepressants and 48% of the population (both women and men) self-medicated using food. The connection is clear, deep down; we know that what we eat can make us happy. Unfortunately, as obesity rates show, we have forgotten how to eat for happiness and are eating for comfort. If you experience mood disorders, depression, or anxiety, try these simple dietary tips to eat yourself happy.

HEALTH, VITALITY AND PASSION — THE JOYS OF POSITIVE-LIVING!

Amanda explains all the benefits of a little

“

– known style of yoga that she teaches in Logan Central. Svaroopa® Yoga is known as the yoga of grace. When you do this style of yoga it’s about opening yourself up to life, to have more life, more prana, more energy, being more open, and in your own beingness, your essential self. When you’re in that state you are actually feeling much happier and healthier — you naturally eat foods that are good for you. A lot of people associate Tantra yoga with sex but the meaning of Tantra is loom — you open up and release your tensions and your essential self weaves its way through every level of your body so that you are an embodied being. Most people live in the future or in the past but with Svaroopa® Yoga you learn to live in the moment. It’s a great blessing for people who thought they could never do yoga as I always ended up hurting my back, even though I loved the benefits. A lot of different types of yoga don’t have good support for the body and have an athletic orientation. This is a yoga anybody can do and it’s good for everybody.

There is definitely a physical component but it’s much more than the physical. It’s using the physical to access the spiritual but also has a lot of health benefits. From feeling supported you can release a lot of tension in the body. We use blankets as props to support people into where their tension is to release it. The fundamental principle of Svaroopa® Yoga is support equals release. It’s the complete opposite of most other styles of yoga and nearly all other exercise. It’s very radical as it turns all the other preconceived notions about physical activity and exercise on its head. With the Embodyment® or hands-on healing, the client lies in the Shavasana or “corpse” pose supported with blankets so it’s warm and comfortable. I then hold points on the lower back and on the spine, and what it does is actually release all the tension around the tail bone and the sacrum where we hold most of our tension. Swami Nirmalananda Saraswati, the woman who

Amanda Ahern | 0409 584715 | positive-living.com.au 18

created Svaroopa® Yoga and Embodyment® says to forget the heart chakra and the third eye as everything that happens is below the waist! By that she means that everybody’s issues are below the waist. It’s a modern yoga developed by Swami Nirmalananda who had studied three or four styles of yoga. She started using more props and was noticing that her students instead of walking in one way and walking out exactly the same way they all started to have very big changes in their bodies and their minds from the adjustments that she had made to the traditional poses. The classes are small, only eight to twelve and are good for beginners and advanced. The Embodyment® or hands-on healing is wonderful for everybody. Namaste!

Life is short …

As the cooler weather is upon us we have the perfect excuse to indulge in some warming desserts, writes Suzanne Walker. A few years ago I worked at a local Springwood eatery and I have been asked for these recipes many times. So here they are — three delicious and simple to make desserts and the most wicked Caramel Sauce to accompany the pudding or to pour over ice-cream.

My Famous Cheese Cake

This makes a large 26cm diameter cake, so line a suitable spring form tin with baking paper. • Crush one and a half packets of plain biscuits such as Butter Snaps, Chocolate Ripple or even Ginger Nuts, in a food processor. • Once crushed add 125grams of melted butter.

Book Review Have you ever stood inside a room and wished “if only these walls could talk”? Well, the walls of 17 Browning Street, West End are sharing some secrets. Secrets of life welcomed and life lost. From the unusual but comfortable perspective of the house, author Elizabeth Jeffs has put on paper a collection of what these walls have seen. The house, still there today, is not an architecturally beautiful old Queenslander. From the front, it appears as any other workers cottage, from the back the bones of a two level structure support a boarding house that has been in the Jeffs family for over three generations.

17 Browning Street by Elizabeth Jeffs

From 1937 to 2002, the walls of this house reveal personal, sometimes moving stories and track the lives, loves and tragedies of the many residents, both long and short term, who found refuge here. Threads of the Jeffs family who own and run the house are wound about the intersecting lives of the people who come and go. Over the years the difference in nature of the residents within, mirror the evolving challenges that have faced our communities over each generation. From an early life as a room to rent for a stranger in the city, to a haven for a young woman who has had to leave her family, to the confused and addicted, to the troubled and lonely, this family and this house offered sanctuary. An easy-paced wander through the rooms reveal an incredibly generous family who were often there when nobody else was. In this delightful book the walls have opened up and offered a window into local West End history and into the lives of some of those who sheltered behind them. The walls of 17 Browning Street have spoken! Donna: Logan North Library 20

eat dessert first! Caramel Sauce

• Place 3 cups of white sugar into a large saucepan with half a cup of water. • Place on a high heat and stir only until the sugar dissolves. Don’t stir after this point or the sugar will re crystallise. Continue to boil on a high heat until the toffee starts to colour. Don’t walk away as sugar can burn very easily. If you find one side of the pot colouring before the other, gently swirl the mixture in the pot, do not stir. When the desired golden brown colour is achieved, remove from the heat. • Carefully add 60grams of butter stirring with a long handle wooden spoon to avoid steam burns and then add 600ml of cream, stirring until smooth. • Sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.

Warm Chocolate Strudel

• Beat 400grams of cream cheese with 100grams of white sugar then add 4 egg yolks, then 200grams of melted chocolate and 125grams of melted butter, mix until combined. • Place a sheet of filo pastry on a board and brush with melted butter then fold in half. • Place two tablespoons of the chocolate mixture at one end of the filo and roll as if you are making a spring roll or cigar. • Bake in a 180 degree oven until golden brown; serve with ice cream dusted with icing sugar. I hope these desserts will keep you warm on a cold winter’s night. Bon Appetit!

The sixth day of the week is the day of creativity. This child will have a great imagination, artistic talents and grow-up to be responsible. Six is the number of ‘love’ and so the hard toil mentioned in this poem resembles ‘a labour of love’. Saturday is ruled by Saturn. Considered the Lord of Karma, Saturn bestows rewards for a job well done.

Coming into the world on the seventh day can accrue an air of carefree and casual indifference. Maybe the biblical reference to rest on the Sabbath can be taken literally. Happy in their own little domain, Sunday people don’t allow outside negativity to penetrate. Numerology is a universal gift presented as a puzzle. Each piece of information we acquire helps us to flourish and prosper along our pilgrimage. Enjoy the journey and remember to love your life! ______________________________________

12 Angry Men

Phoenix Ensemble will explore morality, conscience and human nature in a contemporary re-imagining of the classic play, 12 Angry Men, over four weekends at the boutique Pavilion Theatre in Beenleigh. The award-winning play is set in a jury room where 12 men must determine the guilt or innocence of a 19 year-old man. At the beginning, they have a nearly unanimous decision of guilty, with a single dissenter who then sets about sowing a seed of reasonable doubt. Over the years, Phoenix has built a reputation for delivering quality drama (as well as dynamic and innovative musicals) and 12 Angry Men is no exception. It will be enjoyed by anyone who loves the power of an intelligent and thought-provoking story.
