Spring is here at last and Brisbane
experiences what I believe is our
best few months of the year – after
winter and before the summer
humidity sets in!
Many of you have met our new CEO
– Bernard Wilson. When I say new,
Bernard has been with us for three
months but it has been an incredibly
busy three months for all of us. I
know Bernard has been very active
and attended several Care Group
meeting and drops in regularly at the
Laurel Club. Bernard is keen to meet
all of you so please do not hesitate
to speak with him if you see him out
and about.
Now, I mentioned that we have had
an incredibly busy time. Let me
highlight some of the activities which
have kept us all hard at work.
The most recent was the lunch at
the Greenbank RSL for our Patron,
the Governor of Queensland, Ms
Penelope Wensley AC. This was
a wonderful day and great fun for
the 170 widows who were able to
attend. Her Excellency spoke about
the day in the life of a Governor as
well as some very special thoughts
on Legacy and the sacrifices which
many of our widows have endured.
As she did two years ago at Kedron
Wavell RSL, Her Excellency took the
time to visit every table and talk with
as many widows as possible.
A special mention should be made of
the many Legatees who either drove
widows to the lunch or organised
other forms of transport. Well done
and thank you.
Next came the ADF Charity Ball. This
was held at the Convention Centre
on Saturday 1 September. Although
it is called the ADF Charity Ball, most
of the hard work is undertaken by
our Legacy staff. For that, Legacy
receives the profits from the Ball.
This year more than 950 people
attended and VIPs included the Chief
of the Defence Force, General David
Hurley and his wife Linda, several
senior ADF officers, the Police
Commissioner and representatives
from the Queensland Government.
The Ball has been running for seven
years and is now regarded as a
major event on the Brisbane social
calendar.
Finally, we had Badge Week. Badge
Week is always a major activity for all
of us, widows, Legatees and staff.
Once again it was a huge success
and I am thankful for all your support.
I know many of you help with badge
selling and even more buy badges
every year. To all of you – thank you
very much for you hard work and
support.
I have been fortunate to attend
several Care Group functions
recently. These are always good
fun and I appreciate meeting so
many of you. I am still concerned
that attendances continue to fall.
However, I want you all to know that
I regard our Care Groups and Laurel
Clubs as critical to Brisbane Legacy.
I look forward to meeting more of
you in the coming months.

concert with Laurel Clubs and Care
Groups, and our staff to support
the Legacy “family” and honouring
and delivering on the legacy
mission of caring for the widows
and families of incapacitated and
deceased veterans.
In this my first few months in the
role as CEO, and my first “Torch”
may I firstly extend my broad thank
you to so many within Brisbane
Legacy in making me welcome! It
has been a great pleasure to meet
so many dedicated and supportive
men and women linked by the
band of service and sacrifice to
country.
Most impressive for me is the
commitment and combined
personal effort amongst the
Legatee Groups, working in
May I join the President also in
congratulating all those involved
with Legacy Week, the ADF Charity
Ball and the City Ambush for their
spectacular fundraising efforts this
year. What an impressive combined
effort it is.
I particularly enjoyed the
Governor’s Lunch with Legacy
ladies at Greenbank RSL and thank
Nancy Guinane for her hosting
and the club’s hospitality. Her
Excellency, Ms Penelope Wensely
AC is a wonderful Patron for our
organisation and a delightful and
engaging guest speaker. I trust all
those in attendance enjoyed a very
special day out.
As you may know I come
to the role of CEO from a
human services and disability
background, with experience in
non profit organisations, marketing,
fundraising and governance.
Together with the Board of
Brisbane Legacy I look forward to
delivering on a successful strategy
for the future and sustainability of
our vital service organisation and I
look forward to continuing to meet
many more of our stakeholders and
ladies in my new role.

Legacy Week
What a week it was! The
lead up to first week of
September at Legacy House is
characterised by telephones
ringing constantly, volunteers
treading carefully around
boxes and boxes piled high
full of badges, pens, key rings,
bracelets and even some
sweet teddy bears dressed
in Army Navy or Air Force
uniforms!
It’s all hands on deck to say the
least, with legatees, Legacy ladies
(some of you, I’m sure) family,
friends and anyone else willing
to lend a hand for our biggest
fundraising drive of the year.
Everyone from groups from Logan
to Roma, Noosa to Carindale all
out there on the streets dedicating
hours and days to manning the
tables, spruiking their wares and
having friendly chats with those
interested in hearing more about
the work Legacy does.
We even had the assistance, of
160 soldiers from 1 Sig Regiment.
We’re very thankful to all those
wonderful people who put so much
of their personal time and energy
into making the week such a huge
success. Rest assured, all funds
raised go towards those who need
it most.

It’s all in the mind
Older people who think
they are ‘over the hill’ are
reportedly more likely to end
up with a dementia diagnosis..
A study has found older people
who think they are old, had worse
scores in memory tests. They were
five times more likely to end up with
a diagnosis of dementia, simply
because of their attitude towards
ageing.
In contrast, people of a similar age
who felt younger received better
scores.
The findings from researchers
at the University of Exeter (UK)
suggest attitudes towards ageing
could have a huge impact on
dementia diagnosis.
The study was presented in
June 2012 at the International
Conference on Social Identity and
Health at the university.
The participants then completed
a series of standard clinical tests,
including a well-established
dementia screening test that is
used in many GP surgeries and
NHS (need to spell out) memory
clinics to assist diagnosis.
She said: “Our research shows
that the effect of age perceptions
on performance can be dramatic,
and that seeing oneself as ‘older’
significantly increases a person’s
risk of being diagnosed with
dementia on such tests.
The startling findings showed 70%
of people who were encouraged
to see themselves as older and to
believe that ageing was associated
with a general decline in ability met
the criterion for dementia.
“It highlights the importance of
taking a person’s attitude towards
their age into account when
assessing for dementia,” she
added.
Source: DPS E.News August 2012
In comparison, just 14% of those
primed to see themselves as being
‘younger’ fitted the diagnosis.
Lead author, Dr Catherine Haslam,
said people who see themselves
as ‘older’ could be labelled as
having dementia as a result of their
attitude.
It involved 68 people, aged
between 60 and 70 years,
who were primed to either feel
older or younger than other test
participants.
Those in the ‘older’ group were told
participants ranged from 40 to 70
years, encouraging them to think of
themselves as being at the upper
end of the age spectrum.
Those in the ‘younger’ group
were told the ages of participants
ranged from 60 to 90 years,
which encouraged them to think
of themselves as younger than
everyone else.
All participants were then given one
of two articles to read, which either
focused on the effects of age on
memory or the impact of ageing on
general brain functioning.

The Butler walk – A fundraising Adventure
The flowers are just starting to
show, yellow white, purple and
pink. The night time temperatures
drop down to around 1-5 degrees
with a morning frost and then up
to the low 20’s during the day. Not
bad walking weather.
We stopped at the Burke and Wills
“Dig” tree, the grave of Burke along
the Cooper Creek. Spent a night at
Innamincka where we got to have
a hot shower. All along the way,
we have met people on the road
who have donated to the charities.
Thanks to them all.
Eighteen months ago Warwick
Butler convinced his brother Morrie
to go for a walk with him. Not
just a stroll down the park. A long
walk. 720km in fact! Why would
anyone want to walk that far? To
raise funds for Legacy and MS.
Below is an excerpt from Morries
story about his walk with Warwickaffectionately known as “Wal”
Sunday 5th Aug at 7.45 we set off
on “the walk”. It was pretty good
going at first but then we struck
rocky road surfaces, rocks ranging
from marble size to golf ball size
made it very difficult and our feet
were feeling the pain. As the day
wore on we could feel blisters
forming on the balls of our feet. The
road surface varied during the day
and by the end of day one Wal’s
blisters had broken.
Each day we walk for 3 hours till
morning tea then 2 hours from
11.00 to 1200 for lunch and then
2 hours from 2.00 to 4.00 to the
camp site. So it’s just like a normal
work day. We are averaging 5km
per hour which includes a 5 minute
6 Torch
break, so have averaged 35km’s
per day so far.
The traffic for the first two days was
nonstop road trains and mining
vehicles passing us as they moved
camp from Planet Downs to near
Innamincka. We swallowed a lot of
dust. Some stopped to ask if we
were okay and what we were doing
and soon word spread along the
road. Wal also did a radio interview
which told people about what we
were doing. One guy pulled up and
asked if he could get a photo of us
with his mates. He donated $10.00.
The countryside has varied from
low hills covered in Mitchell grass
as far as the eye could see to sand
hills with grass and low scrub.
There were a couple of low ranges
either side of us for the first couple
of days. Some days we had a very
narrow view with sand hills either
side of us only 200 to 500 metre
each side and a never ending
horizon ahead. It’s the subtle little
changes you notice such as the
colour of the sand or the colour of
the grass or the size of the trees.
The flies are very sticky but
fortunately we have had windy days
half the time which keeps them
at bay, unfortunately the wind has
been in our faces which makes it a
bit hard walking, but better than the
flies.
You may wonder what Wal & I
talk about while walking. Well,
nothing much, we may discuss
the landscape, our next trip, life
in general or we may just walk in
silence. We have both done enough
walking on our own to appreciate
the value of silence.
Our support crew of Jim Wilby
and Jon Butler have been great in
providing the necessities of life and
we thank them for their patience
and dedication. At the end of day
9 we are over half way through
our journey and feeling strong and
motivated to complete what we
started.
By 16th August we had clocked up
300 kilometres!
Last day, walked 35 Km to
Lyndhurst, Country side change
a couple of time throughout the
day from Rocky outcrops to wide
Spring 2012
Kokoda
Kokoda
open hilly grassy country. Lyndhurst
came in to view about 2.30 pm. We
arrived at 3.30pm and went off to
the local bar for a couple of wellearned refreshments!
The most frequent question I have
been asked is, “Why?”
It’s funny because when Warwick
first mentioned it about 18 months
ago, I didn’t even think “Why?” I
just thought, “Wow! That might be
an interesting thing to do”.
I’ve thought a lot about Dad who
was a Prisoner of War on the
Burma Thailand Railway Line for
three and a half years during the
Second World War. He walked
long distances, but under extreme
hardship and hard work on the way,
and he had no choice.
I’ve also thought a lot about our
sister Wendy who is inflicted with
Multiple Sclerosis and confined to
a wheel chair and walking frame.
Wendy walks short distances with
great difficulty, she has no choice.
I thought about Pop Butler who
visited us at our farm “Radium
Ridge” near Candelo on the far
south coast of NSW in the mid
1960’s. He was in his ninety’s at
the time, yet you often saw his
silhouette on the skyline on the
high ridges of the farm walking
along collecting saplings for making
walking sticks for the “old people”
in the Gilgandra Hospital. He would
have also walked many miles as
a young man behind a team of
horses ploughing paddocks in
Horsham and Gilgandra.
Then I think about how lucky I am
that I have good health and I get
four weeks leave each year and am
able to do the Cooper Creek walk
and anything else I want to do.
We live in a great country with a
fantastic culture and if we make the
most of our work- life balance we
are able to do these things. So I
guess the answer to the question is
quite simple – “Because we can.”
The great thing is, we raised over
$8000 for two charities close to
our hearts – Legacy and MS.
-Morrie
A Tribute in Verse
The CD, ‘Kokoda – A Tribute in
Verse’, is a newly released compilation of verse centred around
the iconic Kokoda Trail, narrated and produced by Legatee
Chad Sherrin.
The landing of Japanese forces
on New Guinea’s north shore in
July 1942 represented a direct
threat to Australia; the capture
of Port Moresby would provide
stepping stone to conquest of
the Australian mainland.
The diggers of Maroubra Force
fought a dogged battle along the
Kokoda Trail, against formidable odds and in the most atrocious of conditions, to ensure
this would not happen.
The poetry featured in the tribute, much of it written by the
Diggers themselves, provides a
poignant glimpse into the soldiers’ war, their courage, their
thoughts,
their feelings and
emotions
as they
fought that
desperate
battle to
save our
country.
Each poem is accompanied by
a narrative setting the verse
within the context of the fighting on the Kokoda Trail.
This special tribute is dedicated to those men who fought
and died on the Kokoda Trail in
those dark days of 1942.
30% of the proceeds of sale of
the CD are donated to Legacy.

100th birthday celebrations
“Mrs Iris Andronicos’s 100th
birthday celebrations were held
at her home in Taringa with some
50 family and guests also coming
from central Queensland and
NSW. She has a vivid memory
of growing up in Fernberg Road
shortly after Government House
was transferred to it’s present site.
Later she lived in central Qld and
her husband and children served
in WWII after which she moved to
Taringa where the family owned the
convenience store in Hillsdon Road
some 60 years ago.
She has a very good memory of
the development of the Taringa
suburb which was then largely
bush land. She says playing tennis
and other vigorous activities until
into her 80ies has contributed to
her longevity and even today she is
often seen in her garden for hours
happily weeding and planting.”

Safety Tips for Senior’s
Following a recent incident
involving one of our ladies in
Brisbane I would like to provide
some tips on staying safe and
feeling confident when out and
about or when you are on your
own at home.
The following information is
provided by Seniors.gov.au an
‘on-line web site’ provided by the
Australian Government.
Personal Security
The following are basic safety tips
when you are out and about:
• From a personal perspective
always be prepared and aware
of other people and your
immediate surroundings.
• Be aware of locations and
situations that could make you
vulnerable to crime such as
lane ways, isolated parks and
buildings, back streets and
poorly lit parking lots
• Don’t carry large sums of
money. Pay your bills by cheque,
credit card or over the phone
and internet.
• If you carry a handbag, hold it
under your arm or in front of you
and never leave it unattended.
If you use a wallet, put it inside
your jacket or a front pocket.
• Have your car keys ready before
you get to your car.
• If you believe you are in danger,
shout out and make a scene
and go into the nearest shop or
busy place.
• Then you are banking or using
an Automatic Teller machine;
always vary your routine of
banking.
16 Torch
• Put your money away before
moving away from at teller
or a machine, and keep any
large sums of cash in an inside
pocket, not a purse of wallet.
• If you have any queries, contact
your local police and they can
provide further information and
advice.
Safety at Home
• Arrange to have regular contact
with someone you trust.
• Going away? Ask a neighbor to
keep an eye on things, collect
your mail and put out your
rubbish. Leave the radio on.
• Leave spare keys with a trusted
friend, never in hiding places.
• Make sure your house number is
clearly visible.
• If someone is at the door and
you are alone, pretend someone
else is there.
• Be suspicious of people wanting
to enter your home. Ask for
identification, look at it carefully
and contact their office for
verification.
• If someone wants to use your
phone for an emergency, offer to
make the call for them, but keep
them out.
Con Artists
They’re friendly and clever. And
they want to trick you out of your
money or property. If they attempt
to bully you, call the police. Beware
of:
• something for nothing
• “you have won a contest”
• If you are harassed, attacked or
robbed, tell the police.
• cash only “opportunities”
• When you are at home, lock all
doors.
• get rich quick schemes
• Keep a photographic record
of your jewellery and engrave
all portable items (eg.TV) with
your name, address and license
number.
• Don’t keep large amounts of
money in the home.
• If you have deadlocks, keep the
keys in the locks on the inside
when you are home, in case you
need to leave in an emergency.
• home improvement offers
• “Service calls” you didn’t
request.
For a safety and security review
you can contact the Council on
the Ageing to organise a time for
a Safety liaison officer to conduct
a review of your residence at a
suitable time. Please speak to
your Community Service Officer at
legacy House or call CODA directly
on 07 3316 2999 OR
• If you live alone, don’t publicise
this or whether you are Ms,
Miss, Mrs or Mr.
Toll free number (within
Queensland): 1300 738 348 to
organise a time for them to visit you
in your home.

Stay safe, Helen Archer

• If you’re not sure who it is, don’t
open the door.

Poem: Our Diggers Home – Afghanistan
© Helen Loris Burke-McAllister. 4 September 2012
Oh rest your Souls, our Brothers, dear,
For you are not alone.
We watch and wait for your return.
Your names are not unknown.
Time travels swiftly - lessons pass.
They have been seen before.
To all our Aussies leaving home,
Come safely home once more.
The toll we pay is your sweet life to gain some time and land.
Yet sun and moon shine down on you.
You fell for Peace, not found.
With compassion, love and admiration
From an Aussie mum, Helen
Come slowly now, to those who mourn,
and show your strength to all.
We leave your bodies - dust to dust,
yet Souls like yours grow tall.
Oh dearest Mates, we cherish you,
And what you shared with those.
Yet still beneath those Afghan slopes,
Your lives beyond, arose.
Sweet Diggers, come!
We wait for you – Lest we Forget your toil.
You are remembered for all time.
Come home, Australian soil.

MY Toodle-Loo.
The Toodle-Loo to Toilet Paper

early 1950’s when we went to our

level in the back wall. The Saniman there came during the day
(not 4am) to change the pans.
As described in Toodle-Loo, the
toilet was at the very far end of the
back yard – a small building with
a corrugated iron guard around
two sides, the pan being removed
through a small opening at ground
I sat for some minutes. Then
suddenly there was a mighty
thump, a screech of metal on
concrete and another loud thump.
I was almost catapulted out the
door with shock.
One day, I made my way through
the yard to take up my position
on the appointed place on the
wooden toilet seat which went from
wall to wall.
Then I was convulsed with laughter
as I realised what had happened.
The Sani-man had come –
footsteps unheard on the hard
sandy soil – opened the rear door –
pulled out the used pan from under
me , replaced it with a new pan
and slammed the door shut.
A never to be forgotten experience.

Vitamin D and calcium longevity link
Vitamin D and calcium
supplements could help older
people live longer, according to a
review of existing research.
Scientists from the Aarhus
University Hospital in Denmark
compared eight randomised,
controlled trials that looked at
the vitamin D intake of more than
70,000 adults in their 60s and 70s.
They found people who took
vitamin D supplements, along with
their calcium supplements, were
9% less likely to die over a threeyear period, compared with people
who took no supplements.
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient
that helps our bones absorb
calcium. Our bodies produce
vitamin D when we are exposed
to sunlight, or it can be taken in
supplement form.
For every 151 people who took
vitamin D and calcium supplements
daily, one less person would die,
according to the researchers.
The study author, Professor Lars
Rejnmark, said while the results
showed reduced mortality in
elderly patients using vitamin D
supplements in combination with
calcium, these results were not
found in patients on vitamin D
alone.
have lower rates of cardiovascular
disease and you’re going to have
lower rates of cancer,” she said.
Taking the supplements for less
than three years did not appear to
affect people’s mortality.
University of Zurich researchers
found people who took the pills
were 86% more likely to have a
heart attack than those who did
not take them.
Professor Rejnmark claimed
calcium and vitamin D was
particularly important for postmenopausal women and men from
the age of 50.
Carol Nowson, a professor of
eating and nutrition at Deakin
University, was not surprised by the
report, stating plenty of previous
studies have shown taking vitamin
D, with or without calcium, can
increase longevity.
However, new Swiss research
released yesterday (Monday, 18
June 2012), suggested calcium
supplements doubled the risk of
heart attacks.
The risk more than doubled
for people taking only calcium
supplements, the researchers
claimed.
“There is more evidence that if
you’ve got more vitamin D, you’re
going to live longer, you’re going to
