Printed on 113gsm Pacesetter Coated Satin 2 Legacy Torch t the time of writing, we are experiencing a blast of cold weather – hopefully this is the last of the winter weather and we can all look forward to spring. I always think that spring is when Brisbane is at its best. During the past few months, I have had the opportunity to meet with many of you and I hope to be able to visit more Care Group and Laurel Club meetings in the coming months. To those I have already visited – thank you for your hospitality. All of you will be aware of the recent tragic news from Afghanistan. Both the Australian Defence Force and Legacy acknowledge that recent events reinforce the strong link which connects both organisations. It is a timely reminder to all that the funds we raise during Legacy Week are vital to Legacy’s ongoing duty of care. In the short term, this probably means that you may see more of our welfare staff and less of our Legatees, but rest assured, we are committed to assisting you. Whatever happens, we will be able to respond to you so if we don’t call on you, please do not hesitate to call us! I said this in my last letter to you all, but I think it is important and I urge you to discuss it with your Legatee or welfare officer. Age, infirmity and lack of mobility are unfortunately, things we cannot control. What we can do is to ensure that the care, support and welfare services we provide continue to meet the needs of our widows and children. Numbers attending Care Groups and Laurel Clubs are falling. So, please discuss with them how your needs are changing and how you believe Legacy can support you in the years ahead. The other aspect of this is that many of the troops currently serving in Afghanistan come from Gallipoli Barracks, Enogerra. It makes the sad news all the more poignant and reinforces the importance of Legacy Week for all of us here in Brisbane. Many of you will have heard of the forthcoming visit by our Patron to a combined Care Group meeting on Friday 29 October. This will be held at Kedron Wavell Services Club. It should be a great occasion and I look forward to meeting many more of you on that day. One of the major areas of concern to us is the recruitment of Legatees. Most of our Legatees toil away unseen and unheralded. As good as they are, many are reaching an age where they simply cannot provide the time and support to Legacy which they once did. Our problem is that we cannot recruit and retain Legatees in the numbers we need. The only positive news in this is that Legacy is not the only organisation suffering from lack of volunteer numbers – it is quite common to most voluntary organisations across Australia. Tony Ralph, President L T m ei Sc Sc H B T h L ly ur es, o we if ot ll, ge ee d y, at he es he n. d se ds ve rs h, nt Legacy Junior Public Speaking Award T he 2010 Queensland State Final of the Legacy Junior Public Speaking Award was conducted at the Parliamentary Annex, Brisbane on Saturday, 17 July.

They were Katherine Coombes (Marymount College) and Molly McInerney (The Glennie School). We wish them every success. Do Not Call Register T he Do Not Call Register was set up in response to increasing levels of community concern about the growth in unsolicited telemarketing calls. The Register is intended to regulate and minimise the number of unsolicited calls made to Australian numbers, regardless of whether they originate from overseas or within Australia. Section 17 of the Do Not Call Register Act 2006 provided for the registration of a telephone number on the Do Not Call Register for a period of three years. If you have previously registered for this service, it is strongly recommended that you re-register at h t t p s : / / w w w. d o n o t c a l l . g ov. a u / re g N u m b e r. c f m or by phone on 1300 792 958 to ensure that you continue to be protected from unsolicited calls. Note: The Do Not Call Legislation Amendment Bill 2010 extends the registration period to five years. Legacy Torch 3 Vinegar - What you didn’t know! T he word “vinegar” derives from the Old French vin aigre, meaning “sour wine”. Vinegar has been used since ancient times and is an important element in European, Asian, and other cuisines. For those who don’t know, vinegar is an acidic liquid produced from the fermentation of ethanol in a process that yields its key ingredient, acetic acid (ethanoic acid). The acetic acid concentration typically ranges from 4% to 8% by volume for table vinegar and up to 18% for pickling. Natural vinegars also contain small amounts of tartaric acid, citric acid, and other acids. Other than for its use in cuisine, vinegar has many other uses. In the house: • Add 2 tablespoons vinegar and 1 teaspoon sugar for each quart of water to freshen cut flowers. • Eliminate animal urine stains from carpet by blotting up with a soft cloth, flush several times with lukewarm water, and then apply a mixture of equal parts vinegar and cold water. Blot up, rinse and let dry. In the kitchen, vinegar can be used to: • Clean stainless steel by wiping with a vinegar dampened cloth. • Freshen vegetables. Soak wilted vegetables in 2 cups of water and a tablespoon of vinegar. • Clean china and fine glassware by adding a cup of vinegar to a sink of warm water. Gently dip the glass or china in the solution and let dry. • Deodorise the kitchen drain by pouring a cup of vinegar down the drain each week. Let stand for 30 minutes and then flush with cold water. • Rejuvenate stained pots by filling the pot with a solution of 3 tablespoons of vinegar to a pint of water. Boil until stain loosens and can be wiped away. In the bathroom: • Kill germs on bathroom fixtures by using 1 part vinegar to 1 part water in a spray bottle. Spray the bathroom fixtures and floor, and wipe clean. • Unclog a shower head by unscrewing it, remove the rubber washer, place the head in a pot filled with equal parts of vinegar and water, bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. • Clean soap scum, mildew and grime from bathtub, tile and shower curtains. Simply wipe the surface with vinegar and rinse with water. 4 Legacy Torch In the laundry: • Get rid of lint in clothes. Add ½ cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle. • Keep bright colours from running. Immerse clothes in full strength vinegar for 10 minutes before washing. • Cotton and wool blankets become soft, fluffy and free of soap odour if 2 cups of distilled vinegar are added to the rinse cycle of the wash. • After a hem or seam is removed, there are often unsightly holes left in the fabric. These holes can be removed by placing a cloth, moistened with distilled vinegar, under the fabric and ironing. In gardens, yards and garages: • Kill weeds and grass on walks and driveways by pouring on full strength vinegar. • Grow beautiful azaleas. Occasionally water plants with a mixture of 2 tablespoons vinegar to 1 quart water. Azaleas love acidic soil. • To deter ants, spray vinegar around door and window frames, under appliances and along known ant trails. • Clean rust from tools by soaking in undiluted vinegar overnight. For your pets • Sprinkle vinegar on an area to discourage cats from walking, sleeping or scratching. • Add a little vinegar to your pet’s drinking water to discourage fleas and mange. A healthy body • Soothe a sore throat by gargling with 1 teaspoon vinegar in a glass of water and then swallowing. • Relieve arthritis. Before each meal drink a glass of water containing 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar. Give it at least 3 weeks to start working. • Cure an upset stomach by drinking 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water . • Clean dentures by soaking them overnight in vinegar, then brush away tartar with a toothbrush.

Boarding the bus in Morningside, the Group travelled via the Ipswich Motorway to witness first-hand the extraordinary makeover of this hitherto notorious motorway. Safely there, the Group was greeted by the museum staff before a quick cuppa and a tour of the steam workshops A bit of free time was enjoyed by those who could move around the exhibits, however, for some it was an opportunity to climb in and over as much as they could, even though signs on exhibits clearly said otherwise.....ladies! Nevertheless, all R N O All aboard lovely Ladies!!! Joan Myles, Joan Gregory, Katie Gnuter, Joy Shepley, Beryl Daniels, Lee Johnson, Zillah Pfeffer, Joyce Turner, Kath Bullion, Pat Lawrence, Heather Crawford, Beatrice Watson. T (S fo B had a great time reliving their memories of steam train travel. A sumptuous two course lunch followed including some of the best breadand-butter pudding they had had for years. Another quick look at some exhibits, more train stories and then back on the bus for the ride home. The Morningside Care Group, like all Care Groups and Laurel Clubs, provides a wonderful opportunity for friendship, good times, great company and lots of surprises - the Morningside ladies didn’t know where they were going until the wheels on the bus were rolling.

Legacy Torch 7 Explorers Visit Bundy A fter a number of winters visiting Adora Downs, Mt Tyson, the Explorers this year headed to the warmer climes of Bundaberg. Accompanied by Welfare Manager Craig Hardy and Family Support Officer Nicole Trattles, 20 excited Explorers and their carers met at Roma Street Station on Friday, 16 July for their trip by Tilt Train to Bundaberg. With stops at Caboolture and Nambour to pick up more Explorers, the train sped north to a warm reception by the Vice-President Bundaberg Legacy, Lexie Vowles and Bundaberg Explorer, Helen Baker. All were thrilled to see an old mate and grateful for the reception put on by Bundaberg Legacy. T tour and commentary on the production of rum and its history in Bundaberg. The final part of the tour was in the tasting room where no-one needed convincing that they should quench their thirst with a drink based on the local drop, even before noon. For those who don’t or won’t, a non-alcoholic option was offered. Next stop was to Bargara to take in the sea air, stretch out and enjoy a lunch picnic. Our mate, John O’Callaghan was there again, guarding a picnic shelter for our exclusive use and with the sausages already sizzling. The rum, sea air and excitement must have made breakfast ancient history as everyone again had a robust appetite. F M n an sa B N B M k su Above: Our Explorers, their mothers and carers celebrating exploring triumph and memorable adventures: Nicky Christie, Denise Christie, Anne Nisbet, Bev Kittle, Gillian Stewart, Eunice Stewart, Beth Coleman, Anne Coleman, Kathy Underdown, Joan Underdown,Tony Stephenson, June Stephenson, Scott Gordon, June Gordon, Martin Pilsbury, Josey Pilsbury, Penny Harland, Carmel Cook, David Pollock, Lenore Pollock, Robyn Parker, Geoffrey Martin, Noel Coates, Beverley Brock, John Daniells, Sandra Wright, Josephine Davies, Janice Scott, Sherie Mossop, Norma Mossop, Glendell Hindmarsh, Nell Hindmarsh. After a short stroll to the motel and a rest, all then headed off to the Bundaberg & District RSL & Citizen’s Memorial Club for dinner. Here they were met by L/ John O’Callaghan who greatly assisted the Explorers to sign-in and was on hand to guide them to their table reservations. We also thank L/ John O’Callaghan for arranging for the special service provided by the catering staff. All were swiftly fed, watered and sated by a sumptuous meal. After one last coffee, drink or flutter on the pokies, it was time to head back to the hotel and a much needed sleep after a long and exciting day. Saturday began with one of those buffet breakfasts that signalled that lunch might not be so important today. But with a busy day ahead touring Bundaberg, hearty sustenance was in order. After breakfast all (including local Explorer, Helen) boarded the coach to visit the Bundaberg Rum Distillery. For most, it was their first visit to a distillery and the team there provided an excellent 8 Legacy Torch After a quick cleanup and farewell to John, it was back on the coach for a visit to the Botanic Gardens and the Hinkler Aviation Museum. There was a little bit of something for everyone on that day; it was educational, refreshing (distillery tasting room), exciting yet relaxing, scenic and above all, most enjoyable. Sunday began with another hearty breakfast before packing-up and heading back to the train station for the return trip to Brisbane. The weekend received a big ‘thumbs-up’ from the Explorers as did Bundaberg Legacy for the assistance that it provided. The Explorers do a great job in representing Brisbane Legacy during their excursions and are proud of their achievements. The next adventure is to Australia Zoo in September...... they can’t wait. ts he ey al a h n ve ir y k d of al, g, kn p’ s- ne ir n Ted Smout Memorial Bridge F or the residents of Scarborough, Redcliffe, Clontarf and Woody Point, the opening of the Ted Smout Memorial Bridge by Premier Anna Bligh on 11 July 2010 not only doubled the traffic capacity between Brisbane and the Redcliffe Peninsula but significant improved safety and reduced congestion between Redcliffe and the Brisbane suburb of Brighton. Named in honour of Sandgate World War I veteran and Brisbane Legacy’s longest serving Legatee, the Ted Smout Memorial Bridge is the longest bridge in Australia at 2.7 kilometres. It crosses Bramble Bay, linking the Brisbane suburb of Brighton with the Redcliffe suburb of Clontarf. When returned serviceman Nick Mortimer* recently came across an advertisement for a Bidet Toilet Seat, he honestly felt, from the things he was reading, that this could quite possibly be the answer to his prayers. From the time he had spent in Japan and Korea on rest and recuperation from active service in Vietnam, and on subsequent visits with his wife Caroline*, he knew that there were some great toilet seats available that provided so many more features than those generally found in Australia. He felt that with some of the medical conditions he’d long experienced, including hemorrhoids and some personal issues for Caroline, the fact the Bidet Toilet Seat could wash and dry them both without the need for toilet paper, would prove very benecial and provide some much needed relief and peace of mind. Making some initial inquiries, Nick and Caroline were amazed to see the features that were now available. Apart from comfort and health factors, the warm seat, warm water wash, and a warm air dryer could all be operated and adjusted via a simple-to-use remote control unit. The new bridge consists of 78 spans, each 35 m long. It is the first bridge in Australia designed to withstand Hurricane Katrina-type storm events and possibly the only Australian bridge which may have to deal with shallow water storm surge. The Ted Smout Memorial Bridge features three traffic lanes, a 4.5 m wide pedestrian and cycle path and a 10m x 50m fishing platform. Ted Smout served in the Australian Army Medical Corps sanitary section in France and Belgium from 1915 to 1919. He received a Medal of the Order of Australia in 1978, and was named Australian Citizen of the Year in 1979. In 1998 he was awarded the Legion of Honour (France’s highest military distinction) and in 1999, the 80th Anniversary Armistice Remembrance Medal (the first commemorative medal in the Australian system of honours and awards). Ted joined Brisbane Legacy in 1937. He was transferred to the Retired List in 1979 and, at the time of his death in 2004 at the age of 106, had amassed an unprecedented 67 years as a member of the Legacy Club of Brisbane. It was also explained to Nick that as the Bidet seat simply replaced his existing toilet seat and it was so simple to install, he had the choice of easily installing it himself or arranging for a trained technician from The BIDET SHOP to drop around for a very reasonable rate. After some discussion together, Nick and Caroline purchased a Bidet Toilet Seat and Nick decided to install it himself. Nick unpacked after the Bidet arrived a few days and got to work immediately. A couple of beers later, Nick had it up and running and took his new Hyundai a test drive straight away. Nick feels the Bidet Toilet Seat is one of the best investments he and his wife have made for their personal health and hygiene. Now after years of toileting problems, neither of them nds going to the loo an issue. Their only regret was that they hadn’t seen the Bidet Toilet Seat sooner!

Legacy Torch 9 RAR National Memorial Walk Concert T he RAR National Memorial Walk Concert is held annually at Gallipoli Barracks, Enoggera, in support of both the RAR Association and Legacy. It is supported by Rotary and the Australian Army Band Brisbane. The latest concert, held on Sunday, 22 August, was well attended and a great time was had by all. Legacy Week O n behalf of the Board of Directors, members of the Legacy Club of Brisbane and those who will be the beneficiaries of income raised during Legacy Week, I would like to thank all of you who assisted in the preparation or conduct of Legacy Week for your meaningful and much valued contribution. Thank you to our many volunteers who painstakingly packed badge trays and to those who assisted with the packing and distribution of badge stock and the mail-out of the Legacy Week Mail Appeal. Thank you also to all of you who assisted in shopping centres and elsewhere selling badges. Your assistance is vital to the success of Legacy Week as a fundraiser and is wholeheartedly appreciated by me. Steven Blinkhorn CEO Brisbane Legacy 10 Legacy Torch H ell Family Picnic - Ipswich Railway Workshops Museum O n Saturday 19 June, six of our younger families were treated to a picnic and entertainment at the Ipswich Railway Workshops Museum. The families, included 14 children, enjoyed the ‘Wizards and Witches’ theme of the museum, one of the many different themes the museum presents over the year. Legatees from the South East Contact Group hosted the event and provided wonderful support by preparing and laying out morning tea, then a picnic lunch although some Legatees had to be told by the children to come for lunch and leave playing with the trains till later. The families program is very important to Legacy and more enjoyable events are being planned for later in the year, including the Young Families Weekend in November and the Christmas party in December (hopefully in a secret location with lots of khaki coloured camouflage.

In early August, Mrs Winifred Morrison celebrated her 83rd birthday by climbing the Story Bridge with granddaughter Anna and Adam Ross. For Win, climbing the bridge was not only a great achievement but provided her with a breath-taking panorama of the city at twilight. The Story Bridge is a cantilever bridge spanning the Brisbane River. It carries three lanes of traffic in either direction as well as a shared pedestrian and cycle way flanking each side. The road on the bridge is called the Bradfield Highway, and is the shortest highway in Australia. The Story Bridge was constructed as a public works program during the Great Depression. Construction began on 24 May 1935, the spans were linked on 28 October 1938 and it was finally opened to traffic on 6 July 1940. During construction, the bridge was known as the Jubilee Bridge in honour of King George V but was eventually named the Story Bridge after John Douglas Story, a senior and influential public servant who had advocated strongly for the bridge’s construction Legacy Torch 13 Governor to attend Kedron Wavell Care Group Luncheon H er Excellency the Governor of Queensland, Ms Penelope Wensley AO, will attend the Kedron Wavell Care Group monthly luncheon at the Kedron-Wavell Services Club (375 Hamilton Road, Chermside) on Friday, 29 October 2010 at the . Repose By Mrs Pat Shaw Alone I sit on the old jetty. The sounds of silence enclosing me As if in a protected shroud. The still, unrippled water serenely looks back at me Seemingly to placate my grief. I stare into the river’s hidden depths Mirrored images of my soul Remembering my love – his touch His quietness, his strength. I feel his presence – I am no longer alone. Planning is underway with attendance expected to be in the vicinity of 200 guests. Care Groups or Legacy widows who would like to attend this luncheon are asked to contact Mrs Marie Natt (3862 7784) or Mrs Margaret Hough (3205 4021) for further details and/or to make a booking.
