Welcome to our August newsletter
The Hydrotherapy pool has had its annual maintenance and tune up and is ready for action with a very popular and growing Hydro Cise classes that run 3 days a week. In all we run 7 classes a week across 3 days and continue to be inspired by all who attend, come rain, wind or sunshine. Our instructors Peter, Jane and Idelma continue to be overjoyed each week watching so many walking out of the pool at the end of the class with less pain, more smiles and greater movement, as they say the power of water is just remarkable! If you haven’t tried our classes, there is no better time than now.
In this month’s newsletter we have highlighted our recent outing to Manhattan Bowling Mascot and wish to thank the staff who were so accommodating and helpful. For many TenPin Bowling was a “thing of the past” yet on this outing it was in the moment and plans for future trips back to the lanes are underway. Strike, spares and high fives were plentiful as were the smiles, laughter and all round feeling of achievement that this sport of our youth very much became our sport of today.
In July we welcomed a range of speakers, the NSW Fire Service to update us on the latest development and technologies regarding Fire Safety, smoke alarms to the timely winter reminder of the risks involved in using electric blankets and not turning them off
before getting into bed. Yair Miller OAM Chairman of UIA gave a wonderful update and insight to the current work of UIA and developments in Israel, Donna Sife presented on NAIDOC week, Jane Braunstein spoke about Dental Hygiene and its importance and we finished the month with an outing to the Powerhouse Museum. I do wish to give special thanks to Beverley from Larua Kincade who welcomed our large group with open arms and enormous warmth.
In August we look forward to welcoming Dana Pinhasov visiting from Israel with the support of ZDVO, who will share her inspiring story, Ilona Lee AM will speak about the organisation Plus 61J. Live music is back in Augusta and our special tour outing to the Museum in Victoria Barracks is filling fast.

Before signing off for the month an enormous vote of thanks to our volunteers. Week in, week out, all year round you support our programs from transport to set up, outings, musical soirées, discussions and everything in between. Thank you for your passion, empathy, talents and skills you bring each week.

Information for you and your families This year, every Australian will get a “My Health Record” unless you tell the Australian Department of Health you don’t want one.
What is it? A My Health Record is an online summary of your health information. It can be accessed at any time by you and your healthcare providers. This means that, whether you’re visiting a GP for a check-up, or are in an emergency room following an accident and are unable to talk, healthcare providers involved in your care can access important health information, such as:
allergies medicines you are taking medical conditions you have been diagnosed with pathology test results like blood tests.
This can help you get the right treatment.
What if I don’t want one? If you don't want a My Health Record, you will be able to opt out of having one created for you during a three-month period in 2018. This period will run from 16 July to 15 October 2018. It’s not possible to opt out of having a My Health Record before this period starts on 16 July 2018. Australians can cancel their My Health Record at any time after the end of the opt out period – or create one, if they opted out. We will notify you closer to the 16 July 2018 about how you can opt out.

103 Years Ago
– SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT LIFE THEN.The year is 1915 “One hundred & three years ago”. What a difference a century makes!
Here are some statistics for the Year 1915:
The average life expectancy for men was 47 years.
Fuel for cars was sold in chemists only.
Only 14 percent of the homes had a bath.
Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.
The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.
The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower.
The average British wage in 1915 was £15 per year!
A competent accountant could expect to earn £800 per year.
A dentist £900 per year.
A vet between £600 and £900 per year.
And, a mechanical engineer about £2000 per year.
More than 95 percent of all births took place at home
Ninety percent of all Doctors had no university education!
Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press AND the government as “substandard.”
Sugar cost two pence a pound.
Eggs were 10 pence a dozen.
Coffee was five pence a pound.
Most women only washed their hair once a month, and, used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.
Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from entering into their country for any reason.
The Five leading causes of death were:
1. Pneumonia and influenza
2.. Tuberculosis
3.. Diarrhoea
4.. Heart disease
5.. Stroke
The American flag had 45 stars.
The population of Las Vegas, Nevada was only 30.
Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn’t been invented yet.
There was neither a Mother’s Day nor a Father’s Day.
Two out of every 10 adults couldn’t read or write and, only 6 percent of all British
pupils went to university.
Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at local corner
chemists.
Back then chemists said, “Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach, bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health!” (Shocking?)
Eighteen percent of households had at least one full-time servant or domestic help...
There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE U.S.A.! In 2014 this figure had risen to 14,249.
In the UK the murder rate in 1915 was 1420. In 2015 it was 537.

BENEFITS OF AQUAROBICS FOR SENIORS.When we enter our senior years, we face the challenge of doing enough physical activity to keep fit while avoiding injury from falls and joint issues. Aquarobics or water aerobics, along with other water-based exercises, can be the perfect answer to this dilemma. Aquarobics is an effective way to keep active, especially if you have chronic health conditions such as arthritis, joint problems, and circulation issues.1
Here, we look at some of the benefits aquarobics can provide for seniors who want to stay active.
Works out the heart muscles
Although it’s low impact in nature, aquarobics – which involves traditional aerobics modified for level water – is suitable for taking heart rate up.As we advance in years, it’s more important than ever to work out our heart muscles and improve circulation. Water-based exercises offers resistance training through the hydrostatic pressure of water across the whole body surface, which offers additional benefits for balance, coordination, and mobility. This light aerobic capacity of aquarobics can reduce the risk of heart disease, an important consideration for seniors.
Enhances balance and coordination
A natural effect of advancing years is reduced coordination, and aquarobics – along with the water’s supportive functions for the human body – can counteract this. Seniors who are experiencing poor coordination can continue working on building balance and expanding their strength and physical control in
safer, more supportive conditions.
Aquarobics exercises the entire body, allowing individuals to cultivate improved co ordination and control and range of movement.
Easy on the joints
Unlike running and on-land aerobics, aquarobics is easy on the joints. The buoyancy of water supports the weight of the body and mitigates against the impact of gravity, which allows the exerciser to land easily. The reduced impact on the knees, hips, back, and ankles gives aquarobics a protective quality when it comes to more delicate joints, tendons, and ligaments, thereby reducing the risk of injuries and damage such as muscle soreness, stress fractures, and even broken bones.
Reduces risk of injury
For seniors, one major risk associated with exercise is that of falling, which can arise from a decline in balance along with bone fragility. For some seniors, this is quite pronounced to the degree that it limits their exercise options. The supportive quality of water makes it easier for seniors to stay balanced when in the water, and stops short what would otherwise be a high-impact fall even when we do lose our balance in the water.
Weight loss and metabolism
With increasing rates of obesity and being overweight in Australia is a major contributor to the burden of disease. Seniors, who are at higher risk of developing chronic disease need to look to staying active as part of their weight-control efforts. Studies indicate aquarobics and other water-based physical activities can increase metabolism.
Research shows that water-based exercises such as aquarobics have major benefits for people who are overweight or obese.For example, as water offers more resistance than air, simply walking in water will
burn more calories than regular walking. Likewise, underwater treadmills offer more weight-loss benefits than land-based treadmills.
Recovery from injury
For seniors recovering from a fall or on rehabilitation from operations such as hip replacements, aquarobics can be a suitable form of exercise. The water provides a degree of buoyant support that enables you to stay active and exercise your joints and muscles without the heavy impact and strain of land-based physical activity. With the guidance of your doctor, you may find that aquarobics and water-based activities such as walking, arm reaches, leg raises, and swimming to be relatively painless and restorative.
Social benefits
Socialisation is associated with positive health impacts for seniors. Group aquaponics classes provide a socialisation benefit, which can be a motivator for people of all groups to try and maintain new exercise regimes. Seniors can enjoy exercising with others as well as the opportunity to develop new friendships that go beyond classes. In addition, the social nature of group classes can encourage you to maintain your exercise program, so if you are more likely to continue with an ongoing exercise routine because you enjoy working out and meeting others, aquaponics is the place for you.
