Mark Saunders (F) 1800 338 382 4 Well , March is well underway and Keith And Colleen have jetted off (well with Keith driving anyway) for a much needed holiday, heading to Adelaide for a Wedding and we trust they will have an enjoyable trip and a safe journey and dodge the flood waters out there. Thank you to all the offers of help, if/when needed, that I have received in their absence. It makes me realize how lucky I am to be here at Beachmere with such a wonderful group of people. We have seen lots of rain over the last couple of months, as has most of the country which delays the advancement of construction about the place, but I am sure you will have noticed the gardens and lawns are stating to turn around and look great and this will continue over the next few months particularly as the weather cools a bit our intention to re plant the entrance and the gardens in all communal areas to be revamped where necessary. We will have some very colourful gardens looking very lush and fresh about the place very soon. Also the resident’s garden patch now has a more permanent fence complete with gate to keep the kangaroos out of the vegetables (cheeky devils they are!) We had a great bowls day on Sunday 11th March, with Waterford bringing a bus of bowlers up for a great days inter Palm Lake Resort Bowls day. Thank you to our fellow resort counterparts and all the helpers on the day from morning tea, lunch prep, cooking and cleaning , bar and organising for making the day so successful. I know they enjoyed their day immensely and look forward to some follow up games in the near future. (They may even move here) Sales are really heating up with some more new faces due to come in to join our family in the next few weeks, it is great to see the friendly reception from our residents sure to make them feel comfortable and to help them settle in. The sales team are certainly kept busy these days which is a great positive for the future! Our new yoga classes are proving popular with our residents ready for a little gentle action and the new Bridge Group has an eager rollup each session and much anticipation is around with the new Stamping Up Classes due to start next week. There is no excuse for idle hands & minds about the place. Till next month, stay safe…. Patricia Keith 5 Our newest residents to move in into our lovely resort are Lynne & Les and their two babies Annabelle and Pixie (from Left to right) who moved a couple of weeks ago. They are almost locals as their previous home of 9 years was at Kippa Ring. We welcome them and look forward to getting to know them when they have a chance to settle in. They already enjoy the resident activities and Lynne joins in with the new Yoga classes as well. BRAD’S ALBUM These lovely photos come to us courtesy of Brad Kinross. What a talented photographer we have in our midst, I am sure you will agree. With Brad’s permission we will bring some photos from his album each month, so you can enjoy the beauty around us that his talent captures. 6 RESIDENT MEALS Residents are now enjoying the luxury of having a cooked meal every Thursday at 12.30pm . Phil, our chef, prepares his very popular roast dinners with gravy, fresh vegetables and all the trimmings and his meals would not be complete without a lovely sweet to finish it off. Our wonderful residents are eager to help by setting the tables and transforming the dining room into a five star restaurant . Some of the meals we have been treated to include: Roast Lamb, Gravy mint sauce Roast Beef, Gravy, Yorkshire Pudding Roast Chicken Seasoning, Corned Beef and White Sauce and the list goes on all served with Baked Vegetables and fresh garden greens. Some of the sweets included Chocolate Pudding, Bread & Butter Custard, Apple Crumble , Fresh Fruit Salad and Ice cream just to name a few. We have also been delighted to have guests amongst us, sampling a tiny part of living at Beachmere Sands where our residents were only to happy to extend a hearty welcome and offer our visitors a drink and chat. DOCTOR AT THE RESORT We are lucky to have the services of Beachmere Medical Centre Doctors, who now visit our resort every Thursday afternoon, call the surgery for an appointment Ph: 07 5496 2499 100% Bulk Billing This is a great service for our residents 7 Committee News On Friday evening, Beachmere Committee members, along with Committee representatives from other Palm Lake Villages were delighted to be invited to attend the Official Opening of the brand new Palm Lake Aged Care Facility at Deception Bay. It was quite a gala event attended by among other dignitaries, Chris Whiting representing the Moreton Bay Regional Council. The official opening was carried out by Dean Wells MLA, the State Member for Murrumba which takes in the Deception Bay area. Mr Wells attributed much credit to the Elliott family for having the foresight and determination to honour a promise to the residents of the Deception Bay Village to deliver an aged care facility. At the conclusion of the official proceedings, we were taken on a guided tour of the $10,000,000 complex. It truly is a credit to the Palm Lake brand. It is situated directly behind the Deception Bay Village, and is a very spacious, airy building with accommodation for 66 residents. The facility caters for dementia, low care and high care patients. The rooms are also spacious with access to outside gardens and sitting areas from every room. There has been much thought put into the interior design and I can only describe it as beautifully tasteful, exuding an aura of tranquillity with colour schemes changing cleverly to assist with the needs of the residents in the different areas of care. Much effort has been expended on respecting the memories of the senior citizens it will house, with beautiful art depicting many favourite movie stars from the past. There are attractive sitting areas, and an amazing bright and colourful room in which residents’ guests can enjoy a coffee. The very large entrance/dining room/lounge is exceptional The complex is equipped with a library/computer room, beauty parlour, and the list just goes on. To say we were impressed is an understatement and we can assure you that we came away feeling very confident that our needs further down the track are in competent hands as part of the Palm Lake family. We believe that our dear friend Ron Wheeler will be one of the first residents to take up residence in the facility. We were able to speak with Walter and Scott Elliott. Walter mentioned that they were having difficulty and frustration with local government as far as the progress of the development planned for Lot 106 is concerned. He advised that he had asked for Council approval for the development of this block in August 2011 and has not yet received this approval. He encouraged residents to use people power to attempt to move this issue along. I assured him that the Committee would assist in any way it could. Scott advised that as aged care is a new area into which Palm Lake is moving, the company was keen to monitor the commercial outcomes of the Deception Bay venture and that all being well, Palm Lake Beachmere Sands would see an identical complex built in the future. They felt sales in our Village were progressing well and expressed the sincere hope that all residents were happy with progress we are seeing in the Village. Regards, Noreen 8 A day out on The Gympie Rattler organised by the activities committee proved a successful outing for all who went along. Plenty of opportunity to explore on the leisurely trip through the countryside. 9 TRIP ROUND UP AND PHOTOS Courtesy Brad Kinross The trip started well and on time at 7:45 am from the clubhouse, we made it as far as the front gate without incident when one of the passengers on the bus discovered that he/she had forgotten to take his/her medication prompting a return trip around the block. We arrived at the Historic Gympie Rail Station in time for a coffee in the old refreshment rooms before a bit of a browse around the station which was built in 1913, the station building is a living tribute to Gympie and Cooloola's golden rail heritage which began in the 1870's and is a link to the region's "Golden" past. The train on which we were to travel (no.967) was built in 1950 by Walkers Limited in Maryborough. 967 commenced operation with Queensland Railways in the same year and was withdrawn from traffic in 1969. It was preserved at a park in Caloundra and moved to the Ghan Society in 1985. 967 was purchased by Beaudesert Rail in 2000 and returned to service in 2003. It was bought outright by the Mary Valley Heritage Railway in 2007. The train departed from Gympie on time at 10:00am. Pulling out from the station bought back plenty of memories for us all as we rattled and rolled our way through Gympie City and the southern suburbs before crossing the Mary River and continuing into the Mary Valley where we headed up the steep slopes of the river which affords great views of the surrounding farms, rainforest areas and rural life. The tiny historic station and timber town of Kandanga provided a welcome morning tea venue where we enjoyed some delicious home made pastries, entertainment and local hospitality before again boarding the train and heading towards Imbil. We arrived at the town of Imbil around midday and watched as the train crew unhitched the locomotive and put it onto a steam operated turntable before re hitching it to the carriages for the return journey. After checking out the market stalls in the centre of town we headed off to the old Railway Hotel. Built in 1914 the hotel is typical of its era and has lots of very interesting photo’s depicting the town’s early history. The hotel provided a good variety of delicious meals at a reasonable price. On the return journey to Gympie the train stopped at the tiny station at Dagun for cheese and wine tasting and some fresh pineapples from the road side stall before starting the home leg of the journey. We arrived back in Gympie just in time for the rain to get serious for our dash to the bus and our journey home.

There comes a time when a woman just has to trust her husband ... for example ... A wife comes home late at night and quietly opens the door to her bedroom.
