TIT TAT

THE VERY BEST WINE LAST

Continued from May Tit Tat A Lutheran Pastor had come into his Barossa Valley Lutheran Church and found a man drinking from a glass of wine. The drinker had raised his glass and begun to explain how each sip reminded him of his Christian faith. He continued ... “In 1838 the first Lutherans bravely came from Germany to the Barossa Val-ley, bringing their Christian faith with them.

“Another sip and I remember that wine is associated with many celebratory aspects of the lives of Barossa Valley Lutherans – baptisms, birthdays, confir-mations, funerals, the Vintage Festival, Christmas and Easter.

“I take another sip and I remember the great contribution of Lutheran wine-makers to such wines as Grange Hermitage, Hill of Grace and many varieties of wine, many winemakers, many treasured vineyards, many special tech-niques used by Lutheran winemakers in the Barossa Valley such as cold fer-mentation and pressure fermentation. With a long history of winemaking in the Barossa, and nearly thirty Lutheran winemakers in the Barossa, it seems to be well worth celebrating the contribution of Lutheran winemakers in the Barossa Valley.

“As I take another sip from my glass, I remember that the wine of freedom to practise our faith remains and is well worth celebrating. As we celebrate this freedom we continue to enjoy very special and very wonderful wines.

“Another sip and I am reminded that one of the central and significant celebra-tions the Lutherans have is the sacrament in which Jesus took bread and wine and blessed them and gave them to his disciples saying, ‘Take and eat, this is my body’ and ‘Take and drink, this is my blood shed for you for the for-giveness of sins.’ The bread is made from their wheat and the wine from their grapes, but with the blessing and promise of Jesus, it brings Jesus’ body and blood to us, bringing us forgiveness and eternal life.

“As I drink the last sip of wine from my glass, I remember that one day, the wine will run out for each of us. We may be elderly, but perhaps young, we may have been those who drink inexpensive wine, or no wine, or very fine Barossa wine or somewhere in between, but the wine barrel or wine bottle of our lives will be empty.

May this year has been below the aver-age of 61mm. In 1934 no rain was re-corded in May. The wettest May was in 1923 when 184mm were recorded. This year we had a very dry period from mid January into April, with less than 10mm recorded in almost three months.

Thank you Ralph Kernich for this interesting information.

Well, the cold and wet weather has really arrived. Hope you are staying warm and dry. Remember your flu inoculations. If unwell - please let us know and stay away from the residents until feeling bet-ter. The major area of concentrated effort around the facility is the accreditation survey occurring over the period of 1st to the 3rd of June 2015. There will be two surveyors planned to be here all day over the three days. They will be talking to staff, resi-dents and families. Time will be spent observing what is happening about the facility. At the end of each day there is a feedback session so the organi-sation can be told what has been reviewed. Numer-ous audits have occurred and there may be more to happen before the survey. The goal of the survey is to achieve positive results in all the 44 listed out-comes from the four Standards. Everyone throughout the facility can assist by being available and open about what occurs during the day to day activities within the facility. We need you all to know what to do if the fire alarm goes off - wait where you are until staff indicate otherwise. Do you know how to make a complaint - there are forms available - if you can fill it in please do so - if you can't ask one of the staff to assist. We will en-sure there is feedback given via a personal letter or information shared at a resident and family meet-ing. I would like to take this opportunity to thank every-one for their input to the continuous improvement process - special thank you to all those who completed the latest resident survey. The results

were very positive and the recommendations are be-ing followed up.

Over the past week it has been Volunteer week. On behalf of the Board, Senior Managers and Staff we would like to acknowledge the effort put in by all the Volunteers who serve here at TLH. Without you all we would not be able to provide the levels of services we currently do. We hope you continue to support the residents in the way you are and gain the personal goals set. If there is anything you need please speak to Jodie Matthews.

The construction work occurring in the Trinity Court area is certainly taking shape. Thank you to the hard working trades people keeping the project on track. I'm sure everyone will be proud of the changes and enjoy the new look and efficiencies gained. The turnout for the All Staff Meeting on 1st May 2015 was a great success. 120 staff attended a three hour training session. During the training they received in-formation about Advanced Care Directives, the new e-learning process and general information from me. The drinks and nibbles were enjoyed by staff after the training. It was remarked by a staff member: "It was so nice to have the large number of staff here to-gether - some of them I have not met before."

Finally, it was so nice to be able to attend the official opening of the Alf Pellegrini Drive complex. The in-vited guests were very impressed with the ceremony and tour of the units - well done to the organising committee. How are you all going in your Football Tipping - I have not done well this year. It is nice to see the Crows going well - I'm sure the Power will come good.

Ten Residents went and represented TLH in a bowls tournament against Barossa Village on 29th April. All residents had a wonderful after-noon. Barossa Village won the trophy for the day and they had afternoon tea at the Village. Many residents reconnected with friends. Barossa Village will be coming here next and we will have to see if we can win the trophy back. Well done to all the residents who represented Tanunda Lutheran Home.

"Love is in the Air" - Written by John Herring

So go the words of a popular song from the second half of the last century. We breathe the air about once every five seconds. Walking or running we breathe the air more often than that. Prayer and Meditation can include conscious intentional breathing which is a calming, centering, and healthy thing to do. Here are some questions for those who like to imagine: Where does the air come from when we breathe in? Conversely, where does the air go when we breathe out? A popular idea is that Jesus lived on the earth and breathed its air for 33 years. Based on the theory of one breath per five seconds we can estimate that over those 33 years Jesus breathed the air 208 million, 137 thousand, 600 hundred times!

END OF AN ERA—and $7000 for TLH

Sadly, the friendship group held on alternate Wednesdays in the lounge room of Joan Young’s home has held its final get together. Reduced attendances, due to ageing and volunteering commitments, led the ladies to abandon the fortnightly morning teas.

Over 17 years, Joan has cheerfully hosted around a dozen neighbours who squeezed into her home for a cuppa and chat—and it is reported there was no shortage of chatting! Nora Saegenschnitter holds the record for atten-dance—she has enjoyed these friendly get togethers ever since their inception. The ladies contributed voluntary monetary donations and over these 17 years the amazing amount of $6,700 was raised and donated to TLH Build-ing Fund – but this total , after passing the hat around at the final morning tea on 20th May, has now reached the remarkable figure of $7000!

The final morning tea at Joan’s place was celebrated with many of the usual ladies joining in the fun, as well as Lee Martin-CEO, Marilyn Langley-IL Manager, and other staff members, who all enjoyed the delicious food, the laughter and camaraderie. All present agreed that it was a fun morning and a fitting finale. Joan wishes to thank everyone who came to her very last Coffee Morning, and made it so enjoyable. “Thank you one and all!”

We thank Joan sincerely for her generous hospitality and amazing fund raising efforts over this long period of time. Joan acknowledges that it has been a joint effort between all those attending and she very much appreciates the ladies’ friendship and support.

Well done, Joan—and a huge THANK YOU! Ed.

Blisscare—Building Better Bodies

Blisscare Physiotherapists Nick Crabb, Tegan Skipworth, Josh Muller Oscar Joppich, Elizabeth Nance, Joyce Lehmann, Jan Schupelius, Ivy Parr, Frank Schapel, Dorcas Kernich, Glenis Kupke, Thelma Ziersch

On Tuesday 12th May a group of nine IL Residents were keen to begin their first Blisscare class to improve their health and fitness, and through practising balance, help prevent falls. Currently the classes are run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9.00am-10.00am in the TLH gym. Each person is supervised by the Blisscare physiotherapists and the exercises are tai-lored to suit each individual . There are two options: 1. Rotate through the 18 different pieces of equipment, including the gym. 2. If this is not for you, you can utilise the other stations separate from the gym equip-

ment. This is important for balance, helping to prevent falls. Just speak to the physios. Everyone went home feeling stimulated and being surprised at what they had achieved. Ideally, attending twice weekly is preferable. Age is no barrier—men and women welcome. Have a chat with the friendly physiotherapists if you’d like to join. There is an initial once off assessment fee and each lesson is $6.

Let’s increase our numbers to maintain this excellent, healthy service.

Come along and give it a go! We do not want to lose this wonderful, healthy experience. Ed.

Tell someone who cares The Continence Foundation of Australia is the peak national organisation working to improve the quality of life of all Aus-tralians affected by incontinence.

Bladder and bowel control problems affect one in four peo-ple over the age of 15 years. Bladder or bowel

control issues no matter how small need to be addressed at any age or life stage. Poor bladder or bowel control is often incorrectly thought to be part of the ageing process. Inconti-nence is not normal at any age. There are many treatment and prevention strategies, so it is important to seek help from a health professional. Are you uncomfortable discussing a bladder or bowel control problem? The Continence Foundation manages the National Continence Helpline on behalf of the Australian Government. The free, confidential Helpline 1800 33 00 66 is staffed from 8am-8pm (AEST) Monday to Friday by continence nurse advisors who provide advice, resources and referral to local continence services. As part of World Continence Week, June 22-28, the Conti-nence Foundation is launching a new initiative targeted at family and friend carers, which aims to raise awareness and improve support and understanding of continence manage-ment. The Carers count: support for continence management initiative includes carer-focused web pages on the Conti-nence Foundation website, featuring short videos with practi-cal tips and information.

Richard, along with his wife Liz, lives in Tanunda and he is one of the Flash Cab drivers who take TLH residents to their medical appointments which are often in Adelaide or surrounding suburbs.

He grew up in Newcastle NSW and has two brothers and a sister. Primary school was in New-castle and he later attended a boarding school in Sydney for his secondary education.

His first job was with BHP in their Newcastle office where he held the impressive title of “Assistant, Chief Industrial Officer, BHP Subsidiaries.” From there he moved to Whyalla and from Whyalla to a manganese mine on Groote Eylandt which is the largest Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria NT. This mine is run by GEMCO which is a subsidiary company of BHP Billiton. His position of Personnel Manager saw him in charge of running the airport, ambulance ser-

vice, fire service and industrial relations. “These were some of the best years of our lives”, says Richard.

He left BHP and moved to Melbourne where he worked until his retirement. They lived in Melbourne for 24 years after which he and Liz moved to Tanunda to be able to spend time with Liz’s elderly mum.

Travel is high on the list of things that he and Liz love to do and they have travelled to many places overseas and in Australia. Liz has family in Germany who they visit but they have also been to Scandinavia, Russia, England, Canada and Alaska.

Richard is currently secretary of the Barossa Valley and Districts Garden Club Inc., which consists of around 70 members. Meetings are held twice a month in the St John’s, Tanunda Church Hall. The second Tuesday of each month is a night meet-ing and the fourth Tuesday is a morning meeting. They have a guest speaker on each occasion to keep meetings interesting and informative. The last open garden they attended was Sophie Thomson’s “Hamlyn Cottage” garden in the Adelaide Hills.

Richard incorporates his love of photography with his love of gardening and specialises in “close up” photos of flowers. He has submitted several photos to the ABC weather segment and has so far had four of his photos shown, with another one due to be shown in June.

Thank you Richard for your invaluable service to TLH. It is greatly appreciated.

INVITATION TO GRIEF DISCUSSIONS

Dear residents, staff, volunteers and friends of Tanunda Lutheran Home I invite you to contact me to express interest in attending a group to meet for four sessions to discuss grief. The purpose of the group is to support those who grieve, and provide an opportunity to better understand and progress through our own grief. This group will involve no experts and we will offer mutual support to each other. Discussions will be confidential and there will be no compulsion to read or share things we do not wish to share. Our booklet, “Good Grief” by Granger Westburg has been used widely by many people for a long time and helps us understand all kinds of grief in addition to the death of a loved one. Please let me know if you are interested in forming a small group of say four to eight people. Ring me on 86537749 or 0428 581 838 or call at my office. Possible times: Tuesday afternoon; Wednesday morning or afternoon; Friday afternoon God’s Blessings, Pastor John (Chaplain)

People working together to achieve balance & security

in a new way of Living

On Friday 22nd May a goodly number of goodly people got together to discuss the Third Corner-stone of the New Settlers Program……

(3) We need to KNOW that our lives are WORTHWHILE. Far be it for us to be seen as “know-alls”, but we agreed that KNOWING is better than FEELING. KNOWING is based on TRUTH which is not vari-able. FEELINGS are very variable indeed. Also when we use the term “Worthwhile” we do not mean “important” or “wealthy”.

Our workshop session made responses to the fol-lowing question:

“How can I hold on to the truth based KNOW-ING that my Life IS WORTHWHILE when feel-ings which can so easily sabotage me and let me down?”

The dictionary defines “worthwhile” as being “worthy of spending time and effort on”. So this is what we commenced to do.

Pastor John spoke on the need we have for a bal-anced sense of being OK and seeing others as OK too. Some people say I am OK- but you are not

OK. Some people say You are OK- but I am not

OK Other people learn to say You are OK- and I

am OK You are Ok-and I am OK is a delightful bal-

ance which sits comfortably on the founda-tional understanding that God has said through Jesus.. “I am OK- and you are OK too” - that is Gospel!

Other strategies contributed by New Settlers included: Knowing and trusting God Making the effort to love everyone even when

they seem unlovable Exercising mutual care Having real compassion on oneself King Solomon wrote in the wisdom of Proverbs that “as a person thinks of themselves in their own heart…so shall they be”. TLH personnel Officer Sam draws attention to the significant number of workers employed in our TLH Community. Even greater numbers of Volunteers find meaning for their lives by being a part of TLH. Residents should all count themselves WORTH-WHILE as they find ways of living out their lives with gracefulness. Residents mostly do not realise they have become the Tribal Elders who can lead by example the other members of our TLH Community.

* * * * * *

Our next meeting on Friday 18th June at 3.00pm will consider the topic……………. “We need to continue having FUTURE HOPES AND DREAMS” We thank all our Volunteers and hostesses, without whom we could not sustain our New Settlers Pro-gram. PS Our workshop on “Rights & Responsibilities” was taken to the Managers’ Meeting Agenda by Clinical Manager Kylie Williams for further consid-eration on how we can work together as a Commu-nity for best outcomes. Thank you Kylie. This letter comes with good greetings from Pastor John & volunteers Joan & John.

IL Residents’ Social Morning - Visit to Gawler Cinema

Those of us who had viewed the movie, “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” some time ago – this being a Retirement Village – were looking forward with much anticipation to viewing “The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel”. Thursday last week, 21st May – on a nice sunny morning – thirty-two Independent Living residents and friends eagerly found our seats on the Green-ock Creek Charter coach. Carolyn made sure that everyone was comfortably seated before wishing us a happy time at the Gawler Cinema. Carolyn also asked for volunteers for our IL Social Commit-tee – and also welcomed our newest member to the Committee - Margaret Jasper. It was only a few moments before there was “chatter” and it seemed no time before we arrived at the Cinema. We then enjoyed a hot cup of cof-fee or tea, and a biscuit. Because there were so many people who, like us, wished to view the movie – we were escorted to Cinema 1. A new experience for us.

“The Marigold Hotel” was so successful that Sonny –Owner/Manager, was fast running out of rooms for residents to stay, so he decided to purchase an-other hotel – however this proved to be more com-plicated than he anticipated. It also brought with it conflict between his wife-to-be and a close friend who wished to go into partnership in the new ven-ture. After much negotiating and advice from family and friends, he proceeded with the partnership. The day finally arrived for Sonny and Sunaine’s Traditional Indian Wedding, and as you can imag-ine, it was a most elaborate ceremony – followed by superb dancing. The ladies and gentlemen wore the most exotic, colourful gowns and suits. Many of the hotel’s residents were invited guests and it was interesting to see the single-again, la-dies and gentlemen finding new partners. Our keen anticipation was not dampened in any way as I am sure that everyone enjoyed the movie. A delicious luncheon was then served – before we all boarded our coach for our journey home.

Is it for me ??

A man observed a sign in the window of a restaurant that read “Unique Breakfast” so he walked in and sat down. The waitress brought him his coffee and asked him what he wanted. “What’s your ‘Unique Breakfast’ “ he asked. “Baked tongue of chicken”, she replied. “Baked tongue of chicken? Do you have any idea how disgusting that is? I would never even consider eating anything that came out of a chicken’s mouth!” he fumed. Undaunted, the waitress asked, “What would you like then?” “Just being me scrambled eggs,” the man replied.

S.A.D.D. By Myra Othams’ sister—Enid Gray

When my daughters were teens, I insisted on knowing Full details of when and where they were going I set the time I expected them home And made them promise they wouldn’t roam Now they are the age that I was then And things will never be the same again…. Everything’s changed, we’ve reversed our roles They set the rules and I’ve lost the controls. The phone rings each night sometime after tea, And I know it is Mary checking up on me: “Hello Mum, I hope you’e OK, Do tell me what you’ve been up to today?” At first it made me feel really wild, That now she’s the mother and I am the child. “That’s my private business,” I want to reply, But I bite my lip and I’m sweet as pie. Although I may want to answer her query, My mind goes blank and I feel quite weary. I can’t recall half an hour ago, Let alone 24 hours or so. There’s a children’s disorder, quite common today Which affects their behaviour, (or so they say); It’s called A.D.D—Attention Deficit Disorder And here’s something I’ll have to confess to my daughter - I feel pretty sure that what’s wrong with me Is a similar thing called S.A.D.D. Forgive me if I can’t recall what I ought to, It’s Seniors’ Attention Deficit Disorder.

SENIORS ARE THE NATION’S LEAD-ING CARRIERS OF AIDS—HEARING AIDS, BAND AIDS, WALKING AIDS,

MEDICAL AIDS, GOVERNMENT AIDS, AND MOST OF ALL—MONETARY

AIDS TO THEIR KIDS
