aged care workshops Whether considering options for yourself or deciding how best to help someone close to you, aged care can be a complex area and requires careful thought.

The uncertainty surrounding what services you may need, what services are available for home care or residential care, what providers are in your area, how much it will cost and where the money will come from, can be overwhelming and stressful.

The program for this year will cover everything you will need to know to address and demystify your concerns in regards to aged care services. Book now. For details, see the events listing on pg 20 to 23.

NEW TRANSLATION TOOL The City of Salisbury is excited to launch a new resource designed to assist communication with people who speak Bhutanese.

Namaste

Ciao

The new application, Namaste, was developed in partnership with CO.AS.IT (SA) and Bhutanese Australian Association of South Australia (BAASA) and is designed to translate spoken and written information into key phrases to improve communication with any person who interacts with people who speak or write Bhutanese.

The application was launched at the Jack Young Centre and included candle lighting, scarf rituals and a Bhutanese priest blessing. The event included speeches, cake, ribbon cutting, refreshments and entertainment.

The application is free to download on iPhones and iPads.

Did you know? A similar application exists for those interacting with people who speak or write Italian. The application 'Ciao' is available to download for free on iPhones and iPads.

For more information contact Mary on 8406 8579.

FLOWER EXHIBITION October is Aged to Perfection Month - a month specifically dedicated to promoting messages and activities that support older people to stay connected and healthy as they age. As a part of raising awareness of older people and their value in society, the City of Salisbury will feature a Flower Exhibition with a difference.

This year the exhibition will feature different multicultural groups' artistic interpretation of their culture's national flower. For example, the exhibition will include artwork from older people from the Philippines interpreting their national flower the Sampaguita - a white flower similar to a Frangipani, older Australians with the Golden Wattle and older people from Bhutan with their national flower the Blue Poppy.

Currently community cultural groups are working on their exhibition contributions which may include paintings, sculptures, photographs, costumes and other interesting art forms.

Along with the cultural group contributions, invitations are open to community members aged 50 years and over to enter the exhibition. To participate just take a photo of your favourite flower, write a sentence about why this flower is special and forward it to Council to be displayed as part of the exhibition. (City of Salisbury, 12 James Street, Salisbury SA 5108).

If you would like to be involved in the exhibition or learn more about the activities planned for Aged to Perfection month, just contact Arlene on 8406 8591 or at www.salisbury.sa.gov.au/flower www.salisbury.sa.gov.au/seniors | Salisbury SENIORS | ISSUE 11 | 5

SPEAKING STRONGLY BUT SAYING IT SOFTLY We profile Dr Kevin O'Loughlin 0AM, Aboriginal Elder and local community member, to find out more about his life.

the City of Salisbury with the Boomerang tree you can see near the Watershed Cafe.

Kevin was born at the Wallaroo Hospital on Nurranga Yerta land in 1947 and grew up on the Point Pearce mission station "as it was so fetchingly called at the time".

Kevin is very proud of the work he is currently doing with community members and the University of South Australia at the Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary National Park Winaityinaityi Pangkara. (See page 8 for more information).

"In my younger years I did lots of mission work and in 1980 I went to Tauondi Aboriginal College and became a tutor," explains Kevin, "I worked as a cultural teacher apprentice for six months and then with the Aboriginal Cultural Studies and Resource Unit. It was originally only supposed to be for two years, but went on to be for approximately 30 years! I taught Aboriginal studies right across the board."

"My greatest dream was to reintroduce two dreaming dormant stories - The Buthera Rock dreaming story which runs from Innes National Park right up to Point Pearce mission station and Winda the Owl story near Ardrossan. "These stories were developed from a community studies level, used in tourism and for teaching kids about the rules of living. From this a lot of different things have developed which I’m really proud of."

Kevin’s love of art in public places and appreciation of culture has led to him working with organisations like the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, the Department for Environment and Heritage, and

In 2006 Kevin was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for reconciliation and Aboriginal studies.

"I’ve chosen to have my photo taken for this story, here at the Pooraka Farm Community Centre.

The community centre is really welcoming to Aboriginal community members – it’s a great little place."

"These days I like to work mainly in the background. Like the words from that well known Johnny Young song I’ve chosen to ‘step back a little’, my motivations are to help people where I can and plant a seed."

"I like to sit at the back, whispering kind words of wisdom, speaking strongly but saying it softly."

wear purple to raise awareness for elder abuse Thursday 15 June is the official day to raise awareness of elder abuse throughout the world.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is a reminder that older people have rights including the right to maintain personal independence, be treated with dignity and respect, live without exploitation, abuse or neglect, to be safe and to feel safe.

Every year, approximately 5% of older people will experience some form of mistreatment, abuse or neglect by someone known and trusted to them.

Alarmingly, for every reported case, it is believed another five cases remain hidden and unreported.

have you heard about...

The Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary and National Park Winaityinaityi Pangkara The Bird Sanctuary encompasses more than 60km of coastline north of Adelaide, adjacent to Gulf St Vincent, Adelaide’s northern suburbs and spans across four local council areas. The southern gateway of the Sanctuary is located at the St Kilda foreshore and the northern gateway at Thompson Beach is situated on some of Adelaide’s pristine coastline featuring samphire and inter-tidal mudflats.

The Bird Sanctuary is one of the key feeding and roosting sites for migratory birds who use the East

Asian-Australasian flyway each year. Birds fly from as far as Siberia and Alaska passing through 22 countries. The area acts as a crucial habitat on this migratory route which is used by more than five million birds a year - 27,000 of which call Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary home.

thanks to australia's volunteers Volunteering continues to play a role central to our identity as a nation, with 5.8 million Australians or 31 per cent of the population volunteering, making an estimated annual contribution of $290 billion to our economic and social good. Volunteers are an integral part of the social capital of strong and resilient communities.

The City of Salisbury engages around 500 volunteers who support our programs, services, activities and events that make Salisbury a great place to live, work and play. Our volunteers give more than 80,000 hours each year to our organisation with an economic value of $2.8 million.

National Volunteer Week on 8 to 14 May is an annual celebration to acknowledge the generous contribution of our nation’s volunteers. With the theme 'Give Happy, Live Happy' we continue to celebrate and explore the research that shows volunteers live happier and healthier lives.

There is never a better day than today to acknowledge all volunteers for selflessly and often tirelessly giving their time and energy to our local community and Australia as a nation.

We thank you for your commitment, reliability and enthusiasm to support others and the environment and your contribution to building a strong, united community.

INSPIRING HEALTH Council partnered with Flinders University to provide free health assessments for people aged 40 to 75 years within the City of Salisbury.

190 people got the opportunity to receive a FREE assessment of their health and received a health summary report that directed them to opportunities to improve their health, before the age of 75.

As we age, small changes occur in our health that often goes unnoticed until we try to do something extra. For instance we might not notice our balance is deteriorating until we have to walk on uneven ground at night.

The assessments included balance, hearing, strength, coordination, sleep and many other aspects of health. This assessment was undertaken by health professional students in training who were supervised by experienced clinicians from Flinders University. The study will enable Flinders researchers to help understand how people age and how we can support healthy ageing in the community.

BRAIN HEALTH

Exercise your memory for brain health Regularly challenging or ‘exercising’ your memory may result in many benefits to your brain and general wellbeing. Doing an intellectually stimulating activity every day may significantly boost your brain power resulting in: • Improved concentration and focus • Increased visual memory • Increased attention and observation • Increased ability to think and process information quickly • Potentially preventing or delaying memory-related illness.

A key to exercising your brain is to do a variety of puzzles and games so you are continually challenging your brain. Repeating the same activity until it becomes easy will not have the benefits as a new and challenging activity. Choose an activity you enjoy - don’t force yourself to do a crossword or Sudoku if you’re not interested in them. Try something like a word game, learning a new skill or reading a book.

Here’s is a challenging word game to get you started.

By changing the second letter of each word below, you can make another word.

Can you change each word so that the second letter of each new word reading downwards will reveal an eleven letter word (so, what now reads as AWPYRNUCEPA will change to an actual word).

CONVERSATIONS WITH NORTHERN SENIORS Keeping active as we age Feedback for the ‘Strength for Life’ COTA conversations session

The common responses to question (d) included finding a companion to do an activity with, joining a group, changing my attitude (‘Can do’ and ‘Give it a go’), improved health and having a younger body.

In October 2016 the COTA Conversations with Northern Seniors topic was ‘Strength for Life’ which focused on the importance of keeping active and strong throughout our lives.

Well, here is the good news! To make a slight modification to a famous George Bernard Shaw quote, ‘We don’t stop being active because we get old. We grow old because we stop being active’, it is never too late to make a positive difference to our current lifestyle and levels of activity. We can enjoy improved health and have a younger body by taking opportunities to move (being active) and to enjoy it’s many protective properties and benefits. The key is getting good advice from the right people – your GP, Exercise Physiologist, Occupational Therapist or fitness professional about what you can do to make some improvements. The important thing is to find something that you like to do.

At this session, we asked participants for feedback on the following questions: a)

What were some of the physical activities that you used to do that you’ve stopped doing in recent years?

b)

Why did you stop doing these activities?

c)

What do you think stops older people from being physically active?

d)

What would help you increase your physical activity?

A bit of physical activity combined with a healthy lifestyle approach that includes a healthy diet, good sleep and a positive attitude is important.

The following are participant responses and We have been given a ‘gift', an extra 20 to 30 years reflections: of life. This is the gift of the ‘third age’ – properly Quite a few people responded to questions (b) and enjoyed, this phase of life need not be one of (c) advising that the main factors stopping them illness or decline but rather for most – one of from being active were their current health status growth, wisdom, maturity and more. What are you (declining health), loss of ability, fear of falls, loss doing to take positive action, make positive plans of balance, lack of or level of motivation/laziness, to unwrap and accept this gift? lack of available time, procrastination, lack of information and a lack of confidence.

FROM THE Para hills Centre 2017 is a year of change for the Para Hills Centre.

Karen Macnab

Sadly, we said goodbye to Karen Macnab, Para Hills Coordinator, who after working over five years at Para Hills and 10 years for the City of Salisbury retired from work to embark on a new adventure touring New South Wales with her husband Rob. The Para Hills staff, volunteers and members sincerely thanked Karen for all her hard work and dedication to the Centre. Karen introduced many new programs and activities to the Centre including the Singing Group, Social Bingo and Ukulele Group as well as managing the existing Monday, Tuesday and Friday programs. We were appreciative of her efforts.

The team will certainly miss Karen’s friendly personality, creativity and the passion she had for the Centre.

Shirley Bilske Staff, volunteers and members would also like to thank Shirley Bilske for covering the Para Hills Coordinator role while Karen and Michael were on leave. Shirley has done an incredible job facilitating all of the weekly programs and activities on Mondays and Fridays.

The Hub There will also be some exciting changes for the Para Hills Centre in 2017 with the planning for the new Hub now in the final stages.

Centre Activities There are vacancies in both the Monday and Friday club days. These programs are for people aged 65 and over living in the City of Salisbury who may be at risk of social isolation. It is an opportunity to socialise with like-minded people in a relaxed and supportive environment. The program includes a variety of fun and engaging activities as well as morning tea and a nutritious lunch. Transport may be available to eligible members.

For further details please contact Shirley or Michael on 8406 8544.

from the Pine lakes centre Volunteer Training The City of Salisbury values its volunteers and offers a range of training opportunities to keep their skills up-to-date and help them perform their tasks confidently and in a safe manner.

On 2 February, hospitality volunteers from the Vietnamese and Filipino Seniors Social Support Programs participated in Food Safety and Manual Handling training at the Pine Lakes Centre.

The three hour training delivered by Donatella Amos from Northern Volunteering SA Inc covered

Recognising that for some volunteers English was a second language, staff organised a qualified interpreter to ensure volunteers had the best opportunity to learn and understand the information presented.

Feedback from the volunteers indicated that all enjoyed the training. Guong Trang, a Vietnamese Seniors Social Support Program volunteer said, "I felt comfortable in the training session because I know I can ask questions in my language and not be worried about the correctness of my English".

DID YOU KNOW? The Vietnamese group is celebrating a big milestone. One of the members, Ha Nguyen will be turning 100 in July.

We congratulate her on this longevity and wish her many more years to come. We look forward to hearing more about her secrets regarding living a happy and healthy life. www.salisbury.sa.gov.au/seniors | Salisbury SENIORS | ISSUE 11 | 19
