Another mother’s veil

Email: advertising@seniorsnewspaper.com.au editor@seniorsnewspaper.com.au 2/12 Project Ave, Noosaville Qld 4566

ONE of our readers, 96-year-old Jean Harrison of Noosaville, was very interested to find the article “My mother’s veil” in last month’s edition of this paper. Margaret Johansson’s mother’s veil had sadly become very fragile and the scissors were taken to it, in order to present a piece of it to surviving female relatives.

Jean’s mother’s veil is even older, having been first used in 1915. It is made of Brussels net and is now creamy in colour, although it was originally white.

Delicate hand-embroidered orange

blossoms and sea pearls feature on the veil.

Since 1915, the veil has been worn by 15 brides in the family, the last being Jean’s granddaughter Becky, who wore it in 2013.

The veil is still in remarkably good condition, partly because it has never been washed. Jean’s daughter Ronda is now the keeper of this treasure, and it lies, awaiting the next bride, in a beautiful polished wooden box specially made by her father.

Where did our name come from?

THE name Sunshine Coast was launched in December 1958 at the inaugural dinner of the Sunshine Coast Branch of the Real Estate Institute of Queensland, held at the Hotel Caloundra.

The Branch had begun a drive to popularise and obtain recognition for the name, to replace the term ‘Near North Coast’, which was not considered distinct enough, and had ‘no significance for southerners.’

The name tied in with the decision to form the Sunshine Coast Promotion Bureau to promote the district covered by the three shires.

It gave the district ‘a great start in developing a tourist industry’; ‘Sunshine’, signifying ‘brightness and warmth’ (and providing a complementary attraction to the Gold Coast).

The idea of changing the name to "Sunshine Coast" was controversial and only adopted after eight years of debate.

Finally, in November 1966, Maroochydore, Noosa and Landsborough Shires all voted separately to adopt the name "Sunshine Coast" for the region. The name was officially gazetted on 22 July 1967 and took effect from 1 August 1967. www.http://library.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au www.seniorsnewspaper.com.au

Coast residents are being urged to take advantage of 'free home safety visits' on offer thanks to a joint initiative between the Queensland Fire & Rescue Service (QFRS), the Queensland State Government and NRMA Insurance.The visits are part of the Safehome program and involve a personalised visit from a QFRS firefighter.

Firefighters are able to identify possible fire and danger areas around the home and provide advice and tips on the best way to address safety issues. Long-term Robina residents, Terry and Joan Maher were one of the first local couples visited by the QFRS as part of the Safehome program and say the visit has given them a much greater peace of mind .

Why not beat the WinTer ChillS and SuMMer ShoWerS with a fully enCloSed SCooTer?

Seniors urged to book a Safehome visit now homes have different requirements but a visit should take no longer than 45 minutes.

“As Queenslanders, we are known for our ability to look out for each other and I encourage everyone to check on elderly neighbours, friends or relatives and ask the important question of whether they have had a Safehome visit and show them how they can book one.”

QFES acting manager community engagement Kevin Reading said Safehome visits could be arranged for all residents, regardless of whether they owned their home or were renting.

“It is necessary for the person living in the property to

call and book the visit. If you are renting, tenants should book the visit and not lessors/agents,” Mr Reading said. “If the firefighters recommend making changes to the property during the visit, such as installing a smoke alarm, the tenant should raise this with the lessor or agent and discuss options.”

It is compulsory by law for all Queensland homes to have smoke alarms installed and photoelectric smoke alarms are the preferred option endorsed by QFES. To book a Safehome visit, phone 13 QGOV (13 74 68) or go to www.qfes.qld.gov.au/com munitysafety/freepro grams/safehome.asp

QUEENSLAND Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) are urging seniors to book a free Safehome visit. QFES Commissioner Katarina Carroll said elderly residents were among the most vulnerable when it came to house fires and fire safety was paramount.

“As part of the Safehome program, firefighters visit homes to help residents recognise fire and safety hazards in and around their property,” Ms Carroll said.

“Most people have fire risks in their homes and a few simple precautions and safety tips from a firefighter, such as the correct positioning and installation of smoke alarms and developing a fire escape plan, could save lives and property. All

New government initiatives to connect us with world wide web THE world wide net is just that – a speedy network that encompasses the bulk of contemporary communications.

Well, the world may be going too fast, but let’s face it we can’t get off.

However, there is plenty of help on hand. On August 27, the Qld government announced a partnership with State Libraries of Queensland and Telstra to proved $550,000 of funding to Qld public libraries to help deliver the Tech Savvy Seniors Initiatives program.

Seniors Minister Coralee O’Rourke said the program would provide basic technology skills, including how to use an IPad, navigate social media, shop online and access government services for older Queenslanders.

“The program will provide the skills needed to access essential digital services and ensure seniors can participate more in the community and stay connected to family and friends,” she said.

100 years of Anglican Services in Maroochydore THE first Anglican services in the Maroochydore area were held around 1915 in private homes or in Brighton Guest House at Picnic Point.

After a while, Mr Tommie O’Connor allowed services to be held in his old hall at Picnic Point and when he built the first Star Theatre, a huge galvanised and titree shed, services were held there.

The town was mainly titree swamp with a small number of buildings along

the waterfront. People from inland towns came here for holidays. Some had holiday houses, some had shacks and some camped. There was no church, no school, no doctor and no need for a policeman.

The roads went from bad to terrible and people came on horseback or a horsedrawn vehicle to rafting grounds on Eudlo Creek.

Another form of transport was the cane train to Deepwater on Petrie Creek and

then by boat to Maroochydore.

In response to numerous requests, the Rev Baker from Nambour came to give the occasional service during the holidays.

The church minutes of the day are sprinkled with many derogatory mentions of the church horse which was according to the minister a very unsatisfactory animal.

Mr Thomas (Tommie) O’Connor owned most of the land from Mooloolaba to Scotswald Corner.

He had purchased it for 2/6 (25 cents) an acre. In 1925 he told the Anglican people in Maroochydore that when subdividing the land he would give the corner

St Peter’s Maroochydore.

■ The church was dedicated in 1925.

● Your History: If you have any family stories of early days on the Sunshine Coast, we would love to hear from you.

Please send no more than 350 words with one or two photos in .jpg format to: editor@seniorsnewspaper.com.au Regards Gail Forrer – Editor block to them for a church on the condition the people got together and built one.

The land was mainly swamp with most of the block covered in shoulderhigh rushes. Only one corner was dry.

When we look at Maroochydore now it is hard to imagine it being swamp although not being able to get through to Maroochydore from Nambour because Eudlo Flats was flooded is something that most of us have experienced in recent times.

The history of the Anglican Church in Maroochydore over the past 100 years is fascinating.

The church still stands on

the same block that was given by Mr O’Connor all those years ago.

Everyone is welcome to attend the events planned to celebrate the centenary and the 90th anniversary of the dedication of the first St. Peter’s Church.

St Peter’s Church services and events: ■ 7am and 9am on Sundays and 9.30am on Wednesday, mainly Music for Mums and pre schoolers Monday and Tuesday at 9.30am, Community Meal for those in need Wednesday 6pm, Mission group Thursday 9.30am, Craft and Fellowship group Friday 9.30am.

HYMNS THROUGH THE AGES

As part of the celebrations of 100 years of Anglican Services on the Sunshine Coast there will be a special service, Hymns through the ages at St Peter’s Church Maroochydore on Wednesday, September 16th at 7.30 pm. People are requested to choose their favourite hymn and the reason they like it and the most popular hymns will be included in the service. If you have a favourite hymn, please e-mail it to: daphnehg5@bigpond.com with the reason it is special to you. It could be included in the service.

A great book to remember KAREN and Steve Tyrrell know all too heartbreakingly well the sorrow of watching loved ones succumb to dementia.

And they’ve seen how their children struggle to cope with grandparents who stop joining in the fun and become forgetful.

Fortunately, Karen is an award-winning Australian resilience author and teacher.

She speaks on TV and radio and writes for magazines as well as having produced two books (Bailey Beats the Blah and STOP the Bully), empowering children to take active measures when life gets rough.

So it seemed only natural that the next book should help children cope with the dilemma of losing grandparents through dementia.

Her warm-hearted but po-

werful book, Harry Helps Grandpa Remember, gives children guidelines to follow to take a proactive course in what to do in these situations.

Written in simple, easy-toread text and brightly illustrated by Aaron Pocock, it’s a must-read for any child up to 10 years of age, whether or not dementia is present in the family.

It tells how even a small boy can work out ways to help his beloved grandpa cope with memory loss.

Harry Helps Grandpa Remember was subsidised through a grant provided

by Arts Queensland in 2014.

Karen explains, “I needed to create a powerful and heartfelt picture book that inspired some hope within families grappling with change and illness in those

“I now have a deeper understanding and compassion for Alzheimer’s and how we can make those with the disease happier and less anxious.

“I’m passionate about raising awareness and spreading the word on positive brain health and how prevention is better while there is no cure.”

Suicide Awareness Sessions This year, World Suicide Prevention Day and R U OK Day occur together, on September 10. The theme for World Suicide Prevention Day is Preventing Suicide: Reaching Out and Saving Lives.

The National Coalition for Suicide Prevention is marking the day with two important campaigns: 1. The launch of a national research action plan to align research funds and priorities in suicide prevention in Australia, and 2. A national public awareness campaign inspiring hope and gratitude (www.ruok.org.au).

Talking about suicide is still a taboo for many. To

encourage more conversation about this important issue and to better inform people COTA (Council on the Ageing) Queensland currently offer free education sessions Suicide Awareness for Older People on the Sunshine Coast Region.

Why older people? Because statistics released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) in 2014 show that the highest suicide rates by age group and gender were men over the age of 85 years, and women in the 80-84 year age group. Media reports last year also noted that the highest percentage of suicides among persons

Many groups focus on youth suicide. These statistics, though, reflect the need to also provide suicide awareness and prevention techniques for ol-

I found it helped me to empty my bladder at night time and relieve the pain while passing water. It really works for me” Paul E, Ormond – 22 April 2008.

Harry & Marlene Churches

TWENTY-ONE years ago, in July 1994, a small group of historians formed the Bli Bli Historical Society as a matter of urgency.

Their goal was to save one of three historic buildings, The Old Church, because the Education Department was about to sell it to developers.

Maroochy Shire Council was persuaded to buy the land to keep for future community use. A few years later The Old Church was in danger of being moved and once again the Historical Society convinced the Council of the importance of having three heritage buildings in the one precinct, and thankfully Council came to the rescue.

In 1998 the Maroochydore Historical Society was no longer operational, so they amalgamated under the new name “Bli Bli on Maroochy Historical Society”.

At the beginning there

Historical club members

were three tape recorders, two boxes of tapes, a filing cabinet, and stationery.

The taped interviews conducted by Lindsay, Lawrie and Pat, were an irreplaceable link with the past, as many of those interviewed have now passed away. Doreen and Bob recently converted those cassettes to CDs

which President Ailsa has been transcribing.

By the time of the computer age came the many old photos had been collected and were able to be scanned and printed . The Society continues to record the life and times of people living within the coastal area of the Maroochy and Mooloolah

Rivers from Bli Bli to Maroochydore and Mooloolaba. ● Meetings are on the first Monday of the month (except January) at The Old Church, Willis Rd, Bli Bli, 9.30am. Next meeting is September 7.

Visitors welcome. Follow on Facebook or phone Anne on 0400 913 443.

Awards presented at Coolum Red Cross

OPSO awards - you could win $1000

RECOGNITION: Maureen Farrington (left) presents awards to the Red Cross volunteers.

Almost half of seniors worried about their retirement income ALMOST half of working senior Australians are not confident in the adequacy of their retirement income, according to a new report.

The third Seniors Sentiment Index, released by National Seniors, assessed older Australians’ views on their financial, health and social wellbeing as well as the views from

the wider Australian society.

The study found 43 per cent of non-retired people are ‘not very’ or ‘not at all’ confident in the adequacy of their income, from all sources, for retirement.

National Seniors chief executive Michael O’Neill said the results reflected the financial worry many working-aged seniors faced.

“People are working longer but they’re not confident that they have adequate super to retire on,” O’Neill said.

“It’s hard for seniors to have long-term confidence in their super when there’s uncertainty over political policies and concern about share market cycles.”

O’Neill said the report provided

valuable insight into how seniors view their lives.

Seniors indicated the three most important factors to leading a good life were: feeling safe and belonging; having fulfilling personal relationships; and being in good health.

If you would like know more a full report is available to the public at Nationalseniors.com.au.

A date change for Grandparents Day GRANDPARENTS Day has been changed from Sunday, November 5 to Sunday, November 18.

This is the day grandchildren, children and the community have the chance to thank grandparents for their love and support. The Australian Bureau of Statistics reports that in 2011 around 937,000 Australian children received child care

from a grandparent on a regular basis. This represented over a quarter of all children (26%) aged 0-12 years who regularly attended some type of child care.

Not bad, Grandma and Granddad!

So whatever the day, the family seniors deserve a big vote of thanks and love for all they’ve done.

Desex your dog and save

NOOSA Council is reminding residents new dog registration charges take effect this year.

The new structure rewards pensioners with free registration if they de-sex their dogs.

Dog owners, generally, will pay less if their pet is desexed.

However, council will no longer offer a discount for dogs that are microchipped, to reflect changes in state law.

This means that most dog owners will pay $30 a year.

“It’s in all dog owners’ interest to microchip their pets to help reunite them if the dog gets lost,” Noosa Council acting local laws manager Phil Amson said.

“As it is now a legal requirement for dogs to be microchipped, council will no longer offer a discount as an incentive to comply.

“Registration for a desexed dog is $30, or free with a pensioner discount. That compares with $140 to register a dog that has not been desexed or $115 with the concession.

Mr Amson praised Noosa residents for desexing their

Registration for a desexed dog is $30, or free with a pensioner discount. pets, with the shire recording one of the highest desexing rates in Queensland.

Mr Amson said the second highest number of calls received by council from the public was about dogs and responding to them was both time consuming and costly.

“In July, for example, local laws officers spent more than 450 hours dealing with stray dogs, following up complaints about barking dogs, investigating dog attacks and other animal management activities.”

Council believes that the new fee structure is fair and will recoup most of the costs of the service that council provides.

Council will mail out annual registration renewal forms from September 1.

The regulated dog registration will rise from $257 to $400 per year.

NEW CHARGES: Council is reminding dog owners a new fee registration has commenced.

Vietnam War Commemorative Grants FIFTY years on from the deployment of 1 RAR to South Vietnam and the beginning of Australia’s combat role in the Vietnam War, the Australian Government is launching a dedicated one-off grants sub-program to help the community recognise the contribution of Australian servicemen and women who served our country during the Vietnam conflict.

The Vietnam War Commemorative Grants program has been established under the Saluting Their Service commemorations programme for 2015–16.

It will provide one-off funding of between $4000 and $20,000 for community-based projects and activities that directly commemorate any aspect of the Vietnam War under the theme of ‘camaraderie’.

Examples of projects that may be considered for funding include commemorative events and reunions.

Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, Senator Michael Ronaldson, said he was honoured to provide support for community activities that acknowledge the

service and sacrifice of Australia’s Vietnam veterans.

“Following the tremendous success of the Anzac Centenary Local Grants Program in bringing communities together to remember and commemorate our First World War veterans, it is fitting that we now honour our Vietnam veterans through the Vietnam War Commemorative grants sub-programme,” he said.

“For too long this part of our war history went unacknowledged but now we have an opportunity to respectfully commemorate our Vietnam veterans and educate Australian communities about the hardships these servicemen and women faced during the war, as well as upon and after their return home.” ● The grant program will open for funding on September 14, and close at 5pm AEDT on October 31. Programme guidelines and application forms will be available on the Department of Veterans Affairs website, www.dva.gov.au, when the funding rounds open.

Mature age Australians contribute $65 billion to the Australian economy

By Jennifer Graham “LIFTERS, not leaners” is the message Michael O’Neill wants communicated in relation to the economic contributions of mature age Australians.

Speaking at the recent annual general meeting of the Toowoomba branch of National Seniors Australia, the organisation’s chief executive highlighted that far from being a drain on the economy, older Australians still had a lot to

offer in terms of economic productivity. Backing his claims is a recent study conducted by the National Seniors Productive Aging Centre. NSPAC is an initiative of National Seniors and the Australian Government aimed to generate a greater appreciation and understanding of the needs of older Australians and ultimately improving their quality of life.

The study looked at three key areas of economic ac-

tivity – the economic contribution of mature age workforce participation; the contribution of mature age primary and nonprimary carers providing informal care; and the contribution of mature age Australians as volunteers.

In terms of workforce participation, seniors generally stay 3.7 times longer with an employer than younger workers and there is a positive impact on a company’s bottom line in

Travelling soon?

terms of recruitment and training costs.

The report goes on to state that “the economic contribution of mature age workers, as calculated by total human resources benefits, is estimated at $27.4 billion per annum”.

The provision of informal care – be it grandparent care or care for the those with moderate to profound limitations – is another area where mature Australians make a valua-

ble contribution, on both a human and economic level. As an example, the report highlights the 541,000 primary carers over 45 years of age providing assistance to those with “profound or severe core limitations”.Such assistance is currently valued at $596 per week.

Finally, the volunteering efforts of older Australians – over 1 million people in this age group volunteer an average of 6.09 hours per

week – is valued as a $16.3 billion contribution to the Australian economy on an annual basis.

Fall Buddy makes such a difference AS A young man, inventor Barry Sheridan experienced the devastating effects of a loved one falling at home and remaining undiscovered for some time.

The trauma led to the setting up of his company, Seniors Wellbeing Australia, in 2010.

He realised that pendants have to be worn all the time to be useful.

What he wanted was an independent machine that could detect when the client had a fall and notify somebody close by without the client having to wear or do anything (Zero Wear Technology).

Fall Buddy was born. And like any baby, Fall Buddy has developed over time.

Unlike a baby, Fall Buddy

has shrunk in size, to now resemble a clock radio, while expanding its many uses.

A number of movement sensors are placed in the home and whenever they detect activity, they tell Fall Buddy that all is well.

If no movement is detected for a set period of time, Fall Buddy will automatically go into emergency mode.

First, it will ask the person if they are okay. If there is no response, Fall Buddy will start to phone up to six numbers of family, friends or carers and ask them to come and deliver assistance.

Recently Barry has introduced Zero Wear Dementia Mode.

As well as detecting falls,

this new model, detects if the client leaves home. Fall Buddy allows family and guests to come and go at will, but it zeroes in if the client departs.

Fall Buddy can also tell clients when to take their medications, and where to find them. It monitors temperatures in the house and if it gets too cold or too hot, it will notify someone to come and remedy the situation. It is similarly designed

to call for help if it detects the presence of smoke or water in the house.

Fall Buddy also keeps a log of activity in the house. If family or friends are concerned their loved one is not coping, they can download this report onto a USB memory stick to monitor trips to the fridge or medicine cupboard, confirming that meals and tablets are taken on time It can also show the num-

ber of trips to the toilet at night and other daily activities, without the client being aware of being monitored.

Best of all, Fall Buddy’s messages can be made by a familiar family voice in any language to reassure the client, instead of an inhuman, electronic recording.

Fall Buddy is made right here in Queensland. Barry said, ‘This way, we’re giving jobs to Aussies.’

Here’s your chance to win a copy of ‘A Migrant’s Hopeful Dawn’!

SOTIRIOS “Sam” Manolopoulos was a Greek migrant of the 1950s, and, typical of this wave of people who came to make a new life in Australia, he gave his efforts to help build Australia. In doing so, he forged the sort of connections that last a lifetime.

His story, full of hard earned wisdom and laconic humour, mirrors the story of any migrant, yet is his own.

You will find his tale engaging, inspiring and thought-provoking.

Sam left everything and everyone he knew and at 19, embraced Australia as ‘a land of mystery, improbability and marvel’.

Like so many other Greek migrants, Sam put down roots in Melbourne in his early days in Australia.

His boundless energy and dreams of a better life for his family propelled Sam into business ventures which criss-crossed the continent.

From the often hostile terrain of the outback to the lonely hills of the Dividing Range, Sam came to know www.seniorsnewspaper.com.au

his new home country intimately.

He is one of Australia's dedicated but anonymous pioneers.

Sam is still giving back to the country that has nurtured his dreams.

Proceeds from sales of his book go to various charities including the Cancer Council, the Flying Doctors, drought stricken Australian farmers and the Heart Foundation.

You could win a copy of Sam’s book either for yourself or as a gift for family or friends by entering our latest giveaway competition.

To enter, write your name and a daytime contact telephone number on the back of an envelope and mail it to ‘A Migrant’s Hopeful Dawn’, Sunshine Coast Seniors Newspaper, Shop 2/ 12 Project Avenue, Noosaville, Q 4566 to arrive by 16th September 2015.

The first entry out of the barrel will win.

Ducks on the Noosa River, 1940s Style Margaret Johansson TEWANTIN historian George Pearce remembers when World War II came to Noosa.

The hostilities did not have a great impact here but George’s memories are of a time when petrol was rationed, the army trained in “ducks” on the Noosa River, and Kenilworth was the site of a POW camp.

Indeed the war was responsible for George getting his first boat.

No one could buy petrol without a ration ticket and George’s dad Frank devised a plan to get an extra ration.

So father Frank, an expert woodworker who made everything from canoes to clothes pegs, built two boats - one for the family’s everyday use and one for George, thinking to qualify for the petrol allowance for two boats.

He applied to the police station for registration but found this second boat had to be registered separately under the owner’s name and had to be licenced, and because George was about 12 at the time the plan

‘George’s first boat had bolleygum sides and beech bottom - it was christened Pixie’ didn’t work. A short time later George was driving the boat past Parkyn’s when there was the cop on the jetty waving him in.

Wondering what he had done, George manoeuvered the boat in through the craft crowded on the mooring.

The cop was impressed.

“He said ‘I’ve seen you handle that boat so I don’t have to test you, come up to the office Monday and I’ll fix up the paper work’,” George recalled.

George’s first boat had bolleygum sides and a beech bottom with a 4hp in-board motor and was christened Pixie.

It was to be put to good use over the coming months as the result of the army’s presence on the Sunshine Coast.

In those days (early 1940s)

George Pearce at 21 years of age

most of the army’s amphibious vehicles were kept where the Munna Point camping grounds are now.

Officers and their families were billeted in accommodation in nearby Russell St; other ranks were encamped

in Noosa Junction not far from the present-day servo at the roundabout.

The army “ducks” trained in the river and the sea, going over the bar to Sunshine Beach and back into the river, following a series of buoys to train the drivers on how to handle them, which George says was a lot harder than now with today’s automatic gears.

They had to stop to engage neutral, then engage the prop or the wheels whichever was required.

However the ducks had long shaft props that churned up the river and loud were the complaints about them disturbing the fish.

The trainees would pull the vehicles up and take out the bungs on the bank near the Pearce home in Hilton Tce at 3pm, just about the time young George was coming home from Tewantin school, stopping at Parkyn’s to buy six penn’orth of prawns.

After a cup of tea and a biscuit father and son would set off in the boat for “the best fishing you could ever hope for.”

After lying low all day the

fish were ravenous and the catch often supplied the Pearces, and their neighbours as well, with whiting, bream in the winter, flathead and sometimes tailor caught with a bit of white rag on the line.

George remembers a camp for Italian prisoners-ofwar on the hill at Kenilworth.

The POWs worked on local farms and George’s brother Don had some on the farm at Oakey Creek. They lived as part of the family.

The men slept on the verandah where the weatherboards had occasional gaps. One night the men saw three geckos on the ceiling, whereupon they fled out to the paddock screaming “serpents!”.

Of the first two one took off back to camp and the other reluctant farmer was a professional boxer who was the lightweight champion of Italy.

“Leo” the third, stayed until the end of the war.

He was an excellent farmer and a wonderful cook who got on with everybody.

He vowed to come back after the war but George never heard from him again.

Laguna Estate - a lifestyle choice

Is ‘grandma’s ghetto’ your idea of a retirement village? If so, stop right there! There is nothing further from the truth.

In the past, most residents entered these villages aged in their seventies as part of a move to downsize, decrease maintenance responsibilities, experience a greater sense of safety and security, or for health and lifestyle reasons.

Today, younger retirees from age 55 are seeing the benefits of relocating to a retirement village, with the emphasis on lifestyle and making the move a liberating experience.

To those who say that they are not ready for such a move, many of the residents at Laguna Estate say that they wish they had made the decision earlier. It has given them the freedom to travel, visit family or just pursue new hobbies without any of the worries they previously had with the upkeep and security issues of their previous home.

Combining outstanding resort facilities with stylish homes in a fully landscaped environment, this village strikes the perfect balance between privacy and independence whilst encouraging a vibrant and rewarding community in which to live.

There are spacious villas and serviced apartments from which

to choose, all in a quiet, peaceful location yet so close to all the vibrant action of Noosa. The range of facilities is cleverly geared towards anyone over the age of 55, whether you are physically active or prefer a quieter lifestyle - and the grandchildren are welcome here. so what will sell you on your decision to make Laguna Estate your home?

It is a combination of many things – particularly the smart community facilities and the activities which cater for all lifestyles, but also the quality finish of both the new and the refurbished villas, the resortstyle feel, the professional and hugely cheerful staff and the low monthly fees.

At some time in the future you may need living assistance but this too is catered for at Laguna Estate with assisted care apartments available. Three meals a day, cleaning, weekly towel & linen changes and 24 hour on-call emergency staff are all part of the service.

Laguna Estate is a class act – phone 1800 012 049 for lots more information and an appointment to view this special retirement estate at 21 Lake Weyba Drive, Noosaville.

You could soon be making the best choice of your life!

Longest serving Monarch

DID you know?

September 9 this year represents an extraordinary milestone.

It is the day on which Elizabeth II becomes the longest-reigning monarch in British history, the day on which she breaks the record held for more than a century by her great-greatgrandmother Queen Victoria.

The official beginning of the reign of a British monarch is the moment of the death of the previous monarch (as long as

clear succession is obvious and accepted).

For every British monarchical changeover of the last two centuries, therefore, there have been two monarchs on a single day.

On June 20, 1837 when William IV died, the monarchy immediately passed to Victoria who became Queen.

The date is not taken from the ceremonial coronation of the monarch, which generally occurs quite some time later.

Victoria, for example,

was crowned at her coronation on June 28, 1838, It was just over a year later she became queen.

Likewise, Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation took place almost 16 months after she had become queen.

Taking into account the leap years during the two reigns the Palace have concluded that it is actually the evening of September 9th 2015 when Elizabeth II will become the longest serving monarch.

A Celtic Gathering - Queensland Pops Orchestra.

Qld Pops Orchestra: ‘A Celtic Gathering’ THE fourth of the Queensland Pops Orchestra’s 2015 subscription series is the magnificent concert spectacular “A Celtic Gathering”.

The show combines Celtic worlds in an extravaganza of music from Scotland, Ireland, Wales and the broader Celtic nations.

The concert features Queensland Police Pipes and Drums, The Thistle Highland Dancers and Watkins Academy of Irish Dance.

In 2000 founder Musical Director Colin Harper said: “Never did I think it would be it would be so popular, not only with people of Celtic birth or descent, but with many others who are charmed by the romantic and often strongly patriotic music.”

Pops Pin-Up Boy Gregory Moore and magnificent soprano Lisa Lockland-Bell will lead audiences from The Heather On The Hill down The Road To The Isles to The Bonnie Banks Of Loch Lomond, keeping the Celtic flame burning brightly throughout this lively and visually stunning show.

Gregory Moore’s mellow tenor voice and wink-and-grin stage craft has endeared him to Pops audiences for 17 years. Co-starring with Gregory is the exquisite soprano Lisa Lockland-Bell.

Lisa’s voice radiates joy and tenderness and her vocal flexibility sees her move from classic opera to softer contemporary and Broadway works with ease. There is

plenty of swirling kilts and clicking heels on stage and leading the charge will be Pipe Major Roddy MacDonald, who has been at the forefront of bagpipe composition and performance for over 40 years.

SEE the Queensland Pops Orchestra with special guest artists Gregory Moore, Lisa Lockland-Bell, the Thistle Highland Dancers, Aatkins Academy of Irish Dance, Pipe Major Roddy Macdonald and the Queensland Police Pipes and Drums on Saturday, Oct 10, 2.30 & 7.30pm QPAC Concert Hall www.qpac.com.au 126 246. or Sunday, Oct 11, at 2.30pm Empire Theatre Toowoomba. www.empiretheatre.com.au 1300 655 299.

Caloundra Evening VIEW Club MARION Allan, The Smith Family’s Sunshine Coast and Caboolture Learning for Life co-ordinator, was the guest speaker at the Caloundra Evening VIEW’s dinner meeting held on August 11.

VIEW clubs of Australia support the Learning for Life program, which provides emotional, practical and financial support to help disadvantaged children and young people with their education.

Members were interested to learn about the programs that are offered and the changes that have taken place this year in the Sunshine Coast community.

The Smith Family’s suite of educational support pro-

grams offered on the Sunshine Coast underpins its belief that every child deserves a chance.

Marion also congratulated the Caloundra Evening VIEW Club on reaching 105 members.

Two new members welcomed on the night were Judy Shaw and Joan Taylor.

At the next dinner meeting, which will be held on Tuesday, September 8, at the Caloundra Golf Club, Caloundra VIEW will celebrate its twentieth birthday.

To attend this meeting or for more details, contact Sandra on 5491 3669 or email caloundraview@ hotmail.com.

THE Sunshine Hospice (also known as Katie Rose Hospice) provides professional care for the terminally ill in a warm, friendly and peaceful setting in Doonan.

A spokesman for the group said the not-for-profit organisation enjoys strong

community support through generous dedicated volunteers who are an essential part of the operation and continuation of the hospice.

“We are absolutely blessed with the team of incredible volunteers across the or-

ganisation who contribute to making the lives of others better,” he said.

Volunteer opportunities have become available, such as personal care volunteers – a hands-on position and ideally suited for AIN/PC/nursing-expe-

rienced people for fourhour shifts on a frequency that suits the volunteer.

Another role is general care volunteers, who perform a variety of tasks primarily housekeeping-based – cooking, cleaning, laundry, making tea and coffee,

hosting families and visitors, sitting with guests and sharing life’s stories for four-hour shifts.

If you are interested in joining our happy volunteer team, please phone John Gabrielson on 5471 1793.

Woombye Ladies Fiesta

RECENTLY, ladies from the Woombye Bowls Club hosted a very successful day of bowls, with 96 competitors from Gympie, Chinchilla and other Sunshine Coast bowls clubs playing in an all-day fours event.

Competition was keen and the standard of bowls was high on well prepared and true greens appreciated by all bowlers.

The winning team, with two wins and a margin of 39, came from Club Kawana, skippered by J.Waits.

Many thanks to the volunteers who worked in the kitchen helping our chef Iain prepare the delicious food, as well as Peter Jackson and Keith Marrett who prepared the draw and

A JOURNEY of a thousand miles begins with a single step – so said ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu. But many steps, even a single step, can bring foot or leg pain to many sufferers.

That’s where respected Coolum podiatrist Luke Navin and his qualified team step in!

With more than 15 years’ experience in podiatry and orthotics, Coolum Podiatry Solutions can assist with a wide range of podiatry concerns, offering healing relief to patients of any age.

“While all good podiatrists can prescribe and fit an orthotic, our facilities and experience mean we can, where necessary, fabricate, alter and fit shoes and orthotics on-site in our clinic,” said Luke who graduated from the University of Newcastle with a Bachelor of Podiatry in 2009 and spent nine years working extensively as a podiatry technician.

“We also believe our working knowledge of both the prescription and manufac-

•

ture of custom orthotics provides our patients with a more holistic experience.”

Coolum Podiatry Solutions provides a wide range of services, including nail surgery, general nail and foot care, diabetic foot management, dry needling, orthotic therapy and paediatric assessments.

Luke Navin moved to the Sunshine Coast from Sydney in 2012 after working at the Manly Foot Clinic under esteemed podiatric surgeon Dr Ozan Omir.

“My time at the clinic allowed me to be immersed in the management and treatment of chronic sports related injuries, diabetic foot conditions and post-operative dressings and rehabilitation,” Luke said.

Luke practices what he preaches – he can often be found surfing at Peregian Beach, running or playing touch football as part of the Sunshine Coast social competition.

Contact Coolum Podiatry Solutions at 5/11 Birtwill Street, Coolum Beach, or telephone (07) 5446 2277.

Gold, White, Orange DVA cards…what’s the difference?

White and Orange.

A Gold card entitles the holder to DVA funding for services for all clinically necessary health care needs and all health conditions, whether they are related to war service or not. A White card entitles the holder to care and treatment for accepted injuries or conditions that are war-caused or service related; malignant cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis, posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety and/or depression whether war-caused or not; and the

symptoms of unidentifiable conditions that arise within 15 years of service (other than peacetime services). .

The Orange card enables the holder to access the range of items available under the Repatriation Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. It is for pharmaceuticals only.

Through prior approval arrangements, DVA can provide access to services which are not generally covered.

This is only in circumstanc-

es where the services are clinically appropriate and required, and appropriate evidence is provided, usually by the treating practi-

tioner.

White card holders should consider private health insurance for treatment of conditions not accepted

through their white card.

This is a brief explanation only. More detailed info is available at Department of Veteran Affairs. %&$##$'"!

DVA HEALTH cards are the main way the Department of Veteran Affairs provides convenient access to health and other care services for veterans, war widows and eligible dependents. They allow card holders a streamlined administrative process whereby the card holder only has to present their card when receiving treatment and not worry about seeking reimbursement through receipts and invoices.There are three categories of DVA health cards – Gold,

Spring is here – it’s that time of year again can relieve symptoms with treatment, at least to a certain extent.

When the body imagines it’s under attack from pollens etc, it releases histamine to fight the so-called threat and it is this chemical that causes all the grief. Antihistamine tablets cancel it out and help with sneezing, itches and irritated eyes.

There are also combination drugs containing an antihistamine and a decongestant, but these must be used with caution. Side effects include irritation of the lining of the nose, nausea or headaches.

Also to be used with extreme caution is decongestant tablets which can cause trouble with sleeping, increased blood pressure, anxiety and tremors.

Decongestant sprays unblock the nose but if used for more than a few days,

can actually make things worse – your nose blocks up worse than ever when you stop using them!

If the condition is really debilitating, speak to your GP who will be able to provide more than over-thecounter remedies. However, any medication will only treat symptoms.

In extreme cases your GP may try desensitisation, a therapy that tries to switch off the allergic reaction by repeatedly introducing small doses of what you’re allergic to, either by injection or by drops under the tongue.

This is a long-term treatment and must be administered by a medical specialist or it could result in a life-threatening allergic reaction.

Perhaps best to simply stock up on tissues and aspirin!

‘SPRING has sprung, the grass has riz, I wonder where my hay fever is…’

Yes, with the end of winter chill we’re facing the season of allergic rhinitis, to give hay fever its proper name.

It’s caused by an allergic response to outdoor or indoor allergens such as pollen, dust mites, fungal spores or animal fur. The nose, eyes, throat and sinuses become swollen, irritated and inflamed and one in five of us just wants to lie down quietly and die.

If you have asthma, hay fever can pose a serious threat to your health, because it increases your chance of admission to hospital and the need for steroid medication.

Less seriously, you don’t work as well and you’re continually tired and rundown.

special help as they are in a relatively new relationship.

Latest statistics show that around 20% of people marrying have been previously married, and almost 40% of these are over the age of fifty.

There can be a whole swathe of things that each partner might bring to the table in the way of assets, liabilities, blended families and different dreams and aspirations.

When it comes to retirement planning it is common for each party to want to protect a portion of their assets for the benefit of their natural children.

If this is the case there needs to be appropriate planning and specific documents put in place.

The focus is often on whether to combine the assets of the two new parties and to come to common ground on the income needs and how this income will be achieved.

This more often than not leads to utilising assets to create parity with the levels of superannuation owned by each, and deriving the income stream needed out of these benefits by ultimately using them as pension funds.

Another scenario might be where two people come together and one, or maybe both, are age pension age and one has significant assets and the other a relatively small level.

This would result in latter receiving a high level of available Centrelink Age Pension. When they cohabitate and become a couple in the eyes of the law, they are then assessed by Centrelink as being a couple, and all the assets are combined for assessment purposes. In this case one of the parties may be disadvantaged from an age pension benefit point of view.

If one of the parties is going to have their benefit re-

duced there usually needs to be a discussion on how that party can be compensated by the other for this, so things can remain fair and amicable.

We find that the main issue is around who the assets go to when both the partners are deceased.

This is not an insurmountable issue and advice can be obtained easily on how to resolve this. If the funds are in superannuation or an account based pension for instance it can be stipulated via a binding nomination who it passes to upon death.

In new relationships, the steps to follow are to decide on the income needed, how to structure the assets, the amount of assets to go to the surviving partner and the wishes of both for the destination of assets upon the death of the last partner.

All of this can be achieved quite easily by seeking ad-

THIS Spring or Summer, why not think about a road trip to one of Australia’s most spectacular locations…Halls Gap in The Grampians, Western Victoria? Whether you’re a grey nomad with your own caravan or trailer,or rent a car from Melbourne for a few days, this part of Australia has so much to offer.

First of all there’s the dramatic scenery. Craggy peaks, towering cliffs and the mystery of an ancient land called Gariwerd by the Aboriginal tribes who inhabited the region for thousands of years. And if you’re fit enough, plenty of good walking tracks ranging from easy short strolls to the new, first stage of the

Grampians Peaks Trail.

This section covers 33kms and takes 3 days/ 2 nights with accommodation along the way in camp grounds or huts…and if your legs start to feel the strain, you have the option of returning to base along the way. Eventually the entire walk will be 144kms long and if you’re up to it, will take 13 days! Not for the faint hearted, but a wonderful experience if you plan ahead and train with determination.

For the less active, other attractions include Brambuk – the National Park & Cultural Centre right in town.This extraordinary building has an undulating roof resembling the sweeping wings of a white cockatoo and provides an interpretive history of the culture of the area’s Indigenous people, plus the Gariwerd Dreaming Theatre and a

Bunjils Cave.

bush foods café. And you can book a tour with a ranger to view some of the many rock art sites in the area.

Food and wine enthusiasts are well catered for in Halls Gap and the surrounding areas, with a number of fine restaurants and wineries close at hand. For example, in nearby Dunkeld there’s the famous Royal Mail Hotel and, for a less formal light meal, the Old Bakery with its 1856 oven turning out superb bread even today. Or in Halls Gap itself, LiveFast Café and the Kookaburra Hotel are highly recommended.

Wineries in the region are numerous and tastings can occupy most of a day, if

you’re so inclined. Top choices include Montara near Ararat, Best’s and Seppelts at Great Western [remember Chalambar Burgundy and Moyston Claret?] and Arcadia Park near Hamilton to the south.

Accommodation around Halls Gap comes in all shapes, sizes and prices ranging from camping and guest houses to B&Bs and the superb Boroka Downs Luxury Boutique Retreat [couples only].

The Grampians are well worth the road trip from Melbourne or interstate and will certainly fill a gap in your most remembered Aussie vacations!

ONE of the joys of travel can be the unpredictability, the spontaneity, the leap into the ‘great unknown’.

However, when such uncertainty extends into the realm of flight delays, breakdowns and endless stop-overs, then the joy sometimes leaves. If the worst does happen, however, and you are trapped in an airport, wiling away the hours in a lounge is greatly preferable to sleeping on the floor. This is where LoungeBuddy comes in. This app allows travellers to find and book airport lounges in over 500 airports worldwide, often side-stepping the sometimes pedantic access rules that accompany such establishments. By entering details such as itineraries, desired amenities, service level required and any relevant memberships, travellers can secure themselves entry upon arrival.

The app even provides photos and virtual tours of the relevant lounges. Available for Android and iOS.

The City Circle Tram.

The hero of Torrens Creek

by Colleen Povall

PASSERS-BY travelling from Hughenden to Charters Towers might be forgiven for not stopping in Torrens Creek. Like many outback towns it is tiny, living on memories of former glory.

Back in 1885, when the railway came through, it boasted shops, pubs, police station, schools and entertainment centres galore.

Mailmen rode out from its centre with the post to surrounding stations and all was hustle and bustle.

One of the most remarkable stories to come out of those times was the heroic action of John Crosby who www.seniorsnewspaper.com.au

single-handedly saved the lives of everyone on a crowded train.

The local railway water pump operator, John lived on the east side of Torrens Creek to be near his boiler and pump. One wet evening in 1917 he saw a wall of water, loaded with debris, roar down the creek, wiping out the railway bridge.

Aware that the train, which was due to arrive in town shortly, would not see the damage in time to stop, he grabbed his axe and a hurricane lantern and ran to the railway line. Quickly he cut wood to build a big fire on either side of the line.

Then stabbed himself and mopped the blood up in his

A"!;% 58(5*1& /35!; <5+1/%;$ A!-" ;+?+1!5+/ 53-!58/ !8 -"% ;5-+/ /3*2 )5-%& (%/- /3* 58 * '1+!/% /"!3B

handkerchief to wrap around the lantern to make a warning red light.

John then charged towards the oncoming train waving his white shirt in the glare of its light. At the last minute he leapt aside as the train, unable to stop, knocked his warning lamp aside and roared past the fires he’d built.

At the last minute it pulled to a halt before plunging into the flooded Torrens.

Without the actions of this brave railway worker, everyone on the crowded train would have perished in the raging waters.

They don’t make heroes like that any more – or do they?

Super spring plant fair at Noosa Botanic gardens SPRING has almost sprung and gardeners everywhere are thinking about their gardens and what they are going to plant.

It is therefore no surprise to hear that the Friends of Noosa Botanic Gardens have anticipated this and been propagating furiously in preparation for their Plant Fair being held on Father’s Day at the Noosa Botanic Gardens on Lake MacDonald.

They, together with some renowned plant, tree and palm suppliers from the region, will have available for purchase begonias to bromeliads, anthuriums to ylang ylang, natives to exotics, orchids common and rare, and so much more.

A virtual plant paradise.

Also there will be walks and talks on topics such as birds, bees and butterflies; on herbs and vegies; on eking ecology outcomes.

And, as it is on Father’s Day, Sunday, September 6, what man wouldn’t be impressed with the showcase of classic cars from the

Noosa Classic Car Club that will be on display. Don’t know about you but I have always struggled with what to buy the dads in our family (no not socks and jocks again!) as well as having a unique Father’s Day experience.

Can’t think of a better idea than to take him for a Sunday picnic brunch or lunch at the Noosa Botanic Gardens and let him indulge in plant paradise with a classic car or two on the side.

And, if you don’t want to take a picnic, food and coffee will also be available.

Nice to know as an added bonus that the funds Friends of Noosa Botanic Gardens raise from this Plant Fair are directed back into plants, infrastructure and support for the Botanic Gardens.

Sunday, September 6, 9am to 3pm.

IT’S time to start preparing gardens for the drier months, and Council can help.

Noosa Council offers residents and ratepayers up to three cubic metres of single-grind – or coarse-grind – mulch for free.

Residents can self-load the mulch at the Pomona and Cooroy Waste Transfer Stations, or visit the Shire‘s Eumundi-Noosa Road landfill where staff can load it for them.

“Mulch is a great way to maintain soil moisture in the garden, which helps extend the time between watering so as to conserve water during the hot Queensland summer months,” says Noosa Council Waste Coordinator Ian Florence.

“Mulching also keeps the soil temperature constant, plus you’re adding extra organic matter to the soil when you add mulch to your gardens.”

Council also provides higher quality double-grind mulch which is ideal for use as a soil conditioner, for $20 per cubic metre.

The coarse-grind mulch is available to commercial customers for $7.50 per cubic metre from the Noosaville landfill and $5.50 per cubic metre from the Cooroy and Pomona Waste Transfer Stations.

Self-loading applies at the Cooroy and Pomona Waste Transfer Stations, while the Eumundi-Noosa Road landfill offers a loading service.

Mr Florence said Council has a vast supply of the free mulch ready to go.

Council generates the mulch from green waste collected at landfill.

Noosa Arts smash hit OLD STARS burn brightest. Noosa Arts Theatre will transform into Beecham House, an English countryside estate where the world’s most famous musicians and singers enjoy their sunset years, when it stages the smash hit comedy, Quartet . The story follows Beecham House as it buzzes w ith rumours that a new resident is about to be welcomed into the house and w ord is, it’s a “star”.

Quartet, written by Sir Ronald Harwood (whose “The Dresser” remains one of the best plays ever written about the theatre) premieres at Noosa Arts Theatre on September 11.

Directed by Jane Rivers, Quartet is a wickedly comedic play about redefining old age and growing old with hope; demonstrating how art illuminates life; and the human spirit remains undimmed even as the brightest stars start to fade.

Every year on the birthday of Giuseppe Verdi, Bee-

Jane Rivers directs the upcoming show Quartet.

cham House residents unite to perform a concert and raise funds for their home.

Residents Reggie (Errol Morrison) , Wilf (Patrick James Reed ), and Cissy

(Sue Sewell ) are shocked to learn that Beecham House’s newest resident is Jean (Yvie Somerville), a former grande dame of the opera fallen on hard times.

She is also Reggie’s ex-wife and the fourth and most celebrated member of their former Quartet. Old grudges threaten to undermine past glories and theatrical temperaments play havoc with their rehearsal schedule.

Can the passage of time heal old wounds?

And will the famous quartet patch up their differences to perform the Act 3 quartet “bella figlia dell’amore” from Verdi’s “Rigoletto”?
