IMPORTANT NEWS FROM THE JINDERA O P S H O P

It is great to have the OP Shop up and running again and to see happy customers coming and going as per usual. Unfortunately the OP Shop is still not in a position to take donations, and the restriction of 5 people in the shop at the one time is still in place (along with the other restrictions of Hand Sanitizing, Signing In, and No Children allowed in the shop). We apologise for any inconvenience with these re- strictions, but, while there is still the chance of the Corona Virus spreading into regional areas, all safety procedures must stay in place. As the restrictions start to ease, these restrictions will be reviewed and modified as appropriate. As the winter proceeds and with the weather cold and wet, the staff at the OP Shop look forward to see- ing as many people as possible come into the shop, as they have a great supply of lovely winter clothes including coats, jackets, women’s and men’s jumpers, and ski wear. The children’s section is full of great winter gear for all ages as well as books and toys.

New Trading Hours: Starting in on July 7th, 2020, the days of trading will be Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10.30 am to 1.00 pm then 1.45 pm to 3.00 pm. The shop will still be closed on Saturday until further notice.

Please follow our RCL facebook page as we are always putting some of our larger items for sale on this page. At the moment we have two lovely coffee tables and selected items on facebook. Once again, our thanks to all the community for their understanding of the procedures at the shop at this time, and a big thank you to the OP Shop volunteers who have been extra special during this difficult time of adjustment. Please remember: NO DONATIONS TO BE LEFT AT THE SHOP Thanks again, Colleen Lord OAM, Jindera OP Shop Coordinator.

IPADS to be used to Combat Social Isolation for Greater Hume Seniors

An information session will be held at the Jindera Community Hub on Tuesday 14 July 20 from 10am. For bookings & more information contact Library & Youth Services Team Leader P: 02 60360179

Greater Hume Council was one of 24 organisations to receive funding from the NSW Government to deliver inno- vative programs to help older people connect with each other, through online engagement or other methods that maintain social distancing. The grants were available for organisations to create programs that foster social inclusion for seniors. Greater Hume Council will use the $22,860 grant funding to purchase 30 Ipads that will be loaned to seniors across the Council area. These grants aim to combat social isolation for seniors during COVID-19, while maintaining the current social dis- tancing advice. It provided one-off grants for organisations to provide quality social connection opportunities for seniors who are aged 65 years and older or 55 years and older for Aboriginal people.. The program, that will start in July, will use the Ipads and communication technologies with the support of trained facilitators to encourage online interaction for people who are lonely or isolated living at home or in Age Care Fa- cilities. Council will work with a number of service providers to deliver the program to seniors throughout the shire. Greater Hume Council Mayor, Heather Wilton said “It is exciting to have the Ipads available for our seniors, it will provide another avenue to improve social interactions for our seniors and residents in care and will open up many new opportunities.” July 2020 — edition 268 Page 4

D enise has been a well-known identity in the Jin- dera Community for the past 39 years after moving here with her husband Barry and family. Sadly Barry passed away 8 years ago. She has been involved in all manner of community groups throughout this time, Hume Council until 2004 then Greater Hume Council up to the present. Her role as a councillor has lasted 33 years while also holding roles as Mayor and Deputy Mayor. Throughout this time Denise has lobbied for many projects not only in Jindera itself but the surrounding communi- ties and will be sadly missed by many. Over the past years her passion has been fundraising for a future Multi-Purpose Stadi- um in Jindera and advocating strongly for its building. Hopefully she gets to come back for the official opening one day! Most community organisations have benefited from her expertise in writing suc- cessful grant applications. Of course these can still be done remotely! Denise was always happy to give advice to whomever asked for it. With her marriage to Peter she found someone who also involved himself in com- munity organisations. Peter has been Vice Chairman of the Jindera Museum Committee, helped out at the Football Club and Chair of Rural Carelink inc. while Denise has been Secretary. Their input has been invaluable. The success of the Jindera 150th Anniversary celebrations owes a lot to the count- less hours put in by both Peter and Denise researching all things German. Denise’s mum Erin moved to Jindera to be closer 7 years ago and has been a great support to her and has made many friends in the community who will miss her greatly.

INTERNATIONAL PRAISE FOR JINDERA!

Last Christmas our grandson Dylan visited us. He came with his mother Belinda, his sisters Evelyn and Anwen and father Andrew. As you might guess from his name and the names of his sisters 4 year old Dylan Is Welsh. Covid 19 restrictions were imposed in Wales soon after Dylan returned home.

One of his home-schooling projects was to draw up a “What makes me happy” poster. Here it is! Many visits to Jindera Pool during the hot December-January months made Dylan happy and gave Jindera international coverage!

Jindera now has its very own Occupational Therapist!

I come to you!

Although Alison is based in Jindera, Occupational Therapists do their best work when they can see you in your own context, what daily tasks are important to you, and assist you to work out how you can do them more easily.

Alison is passionate about equipping people to remain living within their communities and engaged in the various community groups and activities within them. In coming up with a name for her business, ‘equip’ is another word which means ‘enable’ – the core work of occupational therapy.

‘Equip’ can be defined in 2 ways – • equipping a person with skills or strategies to complete a task or activity, or • recommending equipment with which to perform the task.

The EQ in EQuIP can also refer to EQuity – offering varying levels of support depending upon an individual’s needs in order to achieve greater fairness of outcomes. The u in EQuIP represents YOU – reflecting a client-centred approach to therapy. The IP in EQuIP reflects another core goal of Occupational Therapy – achieving IndePendence or an Independent Person.

I look forward to being able to provide services in the following areas (but not confined to): NDIS capacity building (ages 7 to 65 years), Equipment Prescription (AT or Assistive Technology), minor Home Mods (eg Ramps and Rails, bathroom/toilet modifications). DVA, Aged Care packages - assessment and recommendations, Falls Prevention, Manual Handling, Pain Management.

For more information, you can contact Alison on 0427 263 398 (Wed, Thurs or Friday) or email [email protected]

NEW LAPTOPS! Our IT hero Mr Morey teaching our very excited Kinder students about their new laptops.

It’s no wonder he’s now their very favourite person!

Some of the Kinder children planned a draft for a creative outdoor space for our school.

Maybe some future architects in the making?

The Year 3/4s have been learning about ‘procedures’ recently, by playing a variety of new games. As part of their Big Write, students investigated new games and made connections with ‘new friends’. It was a terrific way for students to learn how to work together and to develop their skills in writing instructions.

Here they are picking pumpkins and weeding the vegetable garden beds, some are clearly more enthusiastic at the prospect of weeding than others!

Enrolment enquiries for 2021 are always welcome for our Little Saints Preschool Program and Kinder to Year 6 Classes.

PURPOSEFUL LEARNING Sustainability

Students from Echidnas have been studying environmental sustainability. They have been com- ing up with answers to the question ‘What are some things that we can do to help the environ- ment?’ The students became aware of the West Hume Landcare Native Plant giveaway and after meet- ing the eligibility criteria we picked up 20 plants to plant in our schools Native and Aboriginal gar- den. The plants have been chosen for our area through the NSW Government Saving our Species (SOS) Program to establish food plantings for native, nectar loving birds. The students dug wide, deep holes that they filled with water and added a clay breaker. After a few days they worked in pairs to carefully plant their plant, water in and mulch with the assistance of the school’s general assistant. They look forward to caring for their plants – combinations of Purple Coral Pea, Tussock Grass, Bush pea and Ruby Saltbush. Hopefully in the future the children will get to see some na- tive birds enjoying our outdoor classroom space too. The students plan to return the tree tubes to Wirraminna Environmental Education Centre so they can be reused. With thanks to West Hume Landcare, Holbrook Landcare, LAMP Project and Bird-

life Australia for giving the students real world opportunities to support our local environment.

Most farms had 10 or more horses, usually Clydesdales, and these were bred on the farm. Horses were fed on chaff, mixed with oats or bran. They required a lot of feed; the hay was cut into chaff with a chaff- cutter. This machine was powered by a horse works, one or two horses would pull a bar around in a circle, a leather belt would transmit power from a large flywheel to a smaller pulley on the chaff-cutter. Usually women had to keep the horse going, otherwise it would just stop. Most properties used the mixed farming method to have an income all year round. Sheep, cattle, dairy cows, pigs and poul- try were to be seen on even the smallest farms. In my day, the girls or women of the family would milk the cows. The milk would be separated and the cream taken weekly to the butter factory. In the very hot weather it was difficult to stop the cream turning sour before it was collected. If this happened, it was fed to the pigs. Most farmers were self sufficient, killing a sheep a week for rations; in the winter a pig would be slaughtered for bacon and hams. This meat was salted and smoked and it kept for a very long time. Sausages were made and smoked and these also kept for months. Sheep, cattle, pigs and poultry were also taken to market to sell. Eggs were sold to the bakers, or ex- changed at the local store for groceries. Bread was baked once a week in an oven built of bricks. It was found outside the house for safety. A good cook would know just how long to leave the bread in the oven, as there was no telling how hot it was inside.

Stage 4 TAS The students in Stage 4 TAS are in the process of making children's toys using a range of different tools and materi- als. They have been given the option of using various types of wood, paints, plastics, sewing machines or any- thing else they could bring from home. Some of the cur- rent projects include a doll's house, an interactive quiet book, musical instruments, a toddler's bike ramp and vari- ous other inventive toys. The students have been learning how to use many different tools, picking up new skills along the way as they produce something safe and dura- ble for use by a young child. Students who have been home learning and unable to participate in classes at school have been completing the same task at home with the tools and materials they have available to them there.
