this August because
Daffodil Day is for everyone
A simple daffodil will brighten your day. Think what it could do for
the many thousands of cancer patients diagnosed each year...
Daffodil Day in 2011 is on Friday 26th of August. It’s a day for all of
us to give hope for a brighter, cancer-free future for ourselves, and
for those we love.
GET INVOLVED
Daffodil Day merchandise is on sale throughout August, and you can
donate to Daffodil Day at any time. Order merchandise boxes and fresh
daffodils to sell to family, friends and colleagues, volunteer to help at
Daffodil Day stalls or donate to Daffodil Day. Your support will help
maintain the hope the daffodil symbolises to those whose lives have
been touched by cancer, either through a family member, friend, work
colleague or their own personal experience. And that’s most of us.
FRIDAY
26
AUGUST
2011
The daffodil is the international symbol of hope for all touched by cancer.
Daffodil day is the largest national fundraising event of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, raising
essential funds for cancer research, education and support programs.
In 2011, Daffodil Day is aiming to raise over $9 million to fund the cancer control initiatives, patient
support and education services of Cancer Council’s eight state and territory member organisations.
Cancer remains one of Australia’s biggest health problems and a leading cause of death. Figures from
2009 show that an estimated 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85.
More than 60 per cent of cancer patients will survive more than five years after diagnosis and the survival
rate for many common cancers has increased by more than 30 per cent in the past two decades.

Full steam
ahead for
Fullarton
Just a few days before the Autumn
issue of Choice Living went to print,
Living Choice received final development
approval for its eighth village, at 103
Fisher Street in Fullarton, Adelaide. What
a lot has happened since then!
The 189-unit development will be built on
the site of the derelict Julia Farr building
which had become a haven for vandals
and graffiti artists over the past five
years. Living Choice invited residents in
the vicinity to a ‘demolition street party’
and more than 150 people gathered to
celebrate as a 160-ton excavator, the
largest in Australia, started to bring the
notorious building down.
The party was a festive affair with
guests enjoying a BBQ, drinks and
entertainment. Living Choice ambassador
John Wood caused a stir when he
arrived at the party in a bright yellow
1935 Ford Roadster. Earlier, a large
media contingent arrived at the site to
interview the veteran TV and stage star
and film the monster excavator at work.
McMahon Services took delivery of the
$3-million excavator from the United
States late last year and the Fisher Street
building was its first job in Australia.
Now the old building, for so long a
blight on the local landscape, has been
flattened, marking the beginning of a
new, safer era for nearby residents. It also
heralds a new standard of retirement living
in Adelaide and will further cement Living
Choice’s reputation as a niche developer
of up-market retirement villages.
Work has also started on detailed
engineering drawings and the apartment
and sales office plans are being finetuned.
There have already been many
enquiries about the village and at the time

of going to press, four Focus Groups with

approval setbacks, however we are
confident the village will be welcomed
by not only nearby residents but retirees
looking for location, luxury and lifestyle.
There will also be 24-hour on-site care,
emergency response buttons and
medical rooms for visiting practitioners.
Kind regards

At Living Choice villages in Sydney, the
Sunshine Coast and Central Coast, more
than 1,400 residents are enjoying a wonderful
lifestyle and learning new skills and hobbies.
In this issue you can read about some of
these hobbies, including woodworking grants
and awards, a quilt show and an Afternoon
of Art where residents showcased their
paintings, pottery, craft and jewellery.
We are looking forward to bringing this
standard of retirement living and lifestyle
to Adelaide!

woodwork room a hive of activity
After 37 years with the ANZ Bank, bank
manager Digby Milne and his wife Marion
purchased a house and large shed on
a 7ha block outside Canberra where
he could devote his retirement to his
beloved hobby – handcrafting exquisite
clocks. It was precision work which
required a great deal of dedication.
The high quality clocks included cedar
and rosewood mantle clocks, cedar
and huon pine grandfather clocks,
white oak ‘weather stations’ containing
barometers, thermometers and
chronometers, and traditional school
clocks. With some of the clocks fetching
up to $7,500 each, his hobby soon
became his ‘retirement career’.
Later Digby and Marion moved to
Woombye where he continued with his
woodworking. Two and a half years ago
they opted for a more leisurely lifestyle at
Living Choice Kawana Island where he
was looking forward to spending some
time in the village’s woodwork room.
Imagine his disappointment when he
discovered the room was hardly used
and the equipment was covered in
cobwebs!
Thanks to Digby, the room is now one
of the busiest in the leisure centre, with
woodturning tuition every Tuesday and
Thursday and toy-making classes on
Monday and Friday. And following a
grant by the Queensland Government,
it’s one of the best equipped retirement
village workshops in the country!

(3rd left) and Living Choice
ambassador John Wood

Blackall Range Woodcrafters’
Guild, Dave Bannister, Peter

the opening of the upgraded
workshop.
Digby applied through State Member,
Jarrod Bleijie’s office for a grant offered
by the Queensland Government’s
Gambling Community Benefit Fund.
He was delighted when $16,447 was
granted to purchase further tools and
equipment for the workshop, including a
table saw, band saw, thicknesser planer,
linisher, drill press and compressor.
The resident woodworkers have been
accredited under the guidance of the
Blackall Range Woodcrafters’ Guild,
which has been most supportive. Under
Digby’s guidance, the woodturning
students – which include two women
– are making some beautiful items,
including bowls, pens and ornaments.
Six residents also meet twice a week to
make toys for the Salvation Army and
these will be donated to needy children
at Christmas. The toys include delightful
animal trains, children’s chairs, dolls’
cradles, cots and puzzles.
Keeping up a steady flow of toys
does require funding, however, and
the woodworking group has received
some support. Living Choice funded a
dust extraction system, the Residents’
Committee donated start-up funds of
$533, Bunnings has provided some
timber and Digby’s son-in-law,
Derrick Bogaart, has donated lacquers
and thinners.
More funding is needed, however, so if
anyone can assist, please phone Digby
on 0417 279 948.

If a thing of beauty is a joy forever, visitors from throughout
the Central Coast and as far away as Sydney certainly
experienced great joy when they flocked to the Quilting
Exhibition at Living Choice Alloura Waters.
More than 100 quilts were on display during the two-day
exhibition and they were quite breathtaking. The show was
certainly a great credit to the small band of quilters in the
village and their friends and was one of the biggest and most
successful events held at the village.
There was a wide variety of quilts on show, including traditional
quilts in every possible colour and shade – from the palest
pastel to dark vibrant blues, reds and greens. There were also
more modern quilts and one quilt in quiet greys and blues that
was decorated with uniform buttons and other military insignia.
This was a poignant reminder, not only of the war years but of
the austerity experienced in the following years.
In addition to the full-sized quilts there were cot-sized quilts,
knee rugs, cushions, table covers and wall hangings that
glowed with all the colours of stained glass windows. Small
objects such as Christmas decorations, wallets and spectacle
cases all helped to show the versatility of this absorbing craft.
Thanks to the efforts of these quilters, a cheque for $4,000
was handed to the Ronald McDonald House in Newcastle.
3.
The raffle of a child’s quilt that was
made by the Alloura Waters Quilters for
the occasion, was won by Pam Point
from Living Choice Broadwater Court.
An army of helpers set up on
the Friday and then dismantled
everything on the Monday and it was
heavy work. Under the guidance of
the Social Sub-Committee, many
residents baked cakes and slices,
made sandwiches and served them
with a smile. Residents also fired
up the BBQ, sold raffle tickets and
assisted in many ways.

Glenhaven’s
Living Choice Glenhaven’s kitchen was put to
good use recently when village manager Gail Eyres
invited Baulkham Hills TAFE hospitality students to
show off their skills to residents.
“A number of residents have asked why we
don’t use our lovely kitchen more and I thought it
would be an ideal opportunity for TAFE hospitality
students to have the experience of working in a
different kitchen to what they are used to, plus it
would give our residents the experience they were
looking for,” said Gail.
Gail contacted Wayne Hawley, head teacher at the
local TAFE, who inspected Glenhaven’s facilities and
loved the idea. He arranged the approvals that were
required to take the students off-site for a class and
arrived with six mature aged students to create the
menu and prepare it on-site for 82 residents.

master craftsman wins top award
Living Choice Glenhaven’s small group
of woodworking enthusiasts has been
boosted by the arrival of one of NSW’s
top master craftsmen, John Brassell.
John, a committee member of the
NSW Woodwork Association, scooped
first prize at the 2011 Sydney Royal
Easter Show for his exquisite Triple O
Martin guitar.
It is only the second guitar John has
made, with his first guitar winning
two awards – at the NSW Timber &
Working with Wood Expo as well as
the Trend Timbers Perpetual Shield.
As a successful flat glass merchant,
John was able to retire early (24 years
ago) but he was not going to sit back
and twiddle his thumbs in retirement.
He had always been interested in
woodwork and so he enrolled at the
famous Sturt School for Wood in
Mittagong where he completed a fulltime
2-year course in furniture design.
Over the years, he has made all
the furniture for his home that he
The menu was mouth-watering:
* Roast rack of pork, red cabbage, potato rosti, tomato & mustard seed jus.
* Grilled Atlantic salmon with kumera and asparagus served with
hollandaise sauce.
* Pear & lime bavarois
with blueberries.
* Soft centred chocolate
pudding served with
vanilla bean ice cream
freshly made on-site.
Gail said the lunch was
a great success with
many asking that she
arrange future lunches
with the students.
shares with his lucky wife Gwen,
as well as furniture for their children
and grandchildren. He has exhibited
at many furniture expos and won
numerous awards and is also a wellknown
furniture judge.
John had always wanted to make
guitars, however, so four years ago he
decided to tackle one of his biggest
challenges yet, a classical guitar
that took him 380 hours to make.
When it won two major awards, he
was encouraged to make two more
guitars which took a total of 620
hours to complete. The second guitar,
made out of Tasmanian tiger myrtle,
spruce and ebony, won two awards
at this year’s Easter Show, including
a Standard of Excellence Certificate,
which is rarely given.
Interestingly, John does not play the
guitar but is planning to take lessons.
He will be exhibiting his third guitar at an
exhibition in June, so watch this space!

RESIDENTS ESIDENTS SHINE AT ‘AFTERNOON ‘AFTERN F OF ART’
There are many talented people living at Living Choice Twin Waters, including
artists, potters, woodworkers, jewellery makers, quilters, knitters and sewers.
Recently, they pooled their talents to stage an ‘Afternoon of Art’ at the village
and it was a wonderful showcase of the residents’ amazing skills.
The leisure centre was transformed into a colourful treasure trove.
Downstairs, new artwork was added to the gallery area where artwork by
members of the Twin Waters Art Group is always on display. The art group
was started by resident artist Faye Dick in August 2008 and meets weekly
in the clubhouse. It has grown in popularity and Faye’s students have made
great strides over the years. There are also other artists living in the village
and their work was also on show.

Members of the pottery group displayed
some exquisite pieces, including sculptures,
plant containers and ornaments. The
pottery group meets every Saturday, under
the expert tuition of resident Pamela Blair.
Pamela is a multi-talented potter, artist
and jewellery-maker and her paintings and
jewellery collection were also on show.
Down in the workshop, George Stewart
and Steve Preston assembled their
beautiful woodwork, including a wide
variety of toys, pot holders, children’s chairs
and plant boxes. The men are very busy
preparing for the annual winter craft fair
which will be held at the village on Saturday
25 June.
The craft group ladies meet weekly under
the guidance of Bobbie Scovell and are also
feverishly sewing and knitting for the winter fair. They created a beautiful
display for the art afternoon and had some items for sale, including winter
scarves, beanies, dolls’
clothes, crocheted rugs

More medical
services at Villa 31
Last year, Living Choice surrendered a villa at
Broadwater Court Stage 1 to be used as a clinic
to provide medical services for residents. Since
then, the health care services have expanded,
with a doctor, podiatrist, diabetic educator and
physiotherapist now available in the village.
In addition, village manager Tim Bentley has met
regularly with representatives of Gosford Private
Hospital and it is planned that an optometrist will
be visiting the village in the near future.
Podiatrist Stephen Hurley consults from V31
on the first and third Monday of the month
and diabetic educator Cathy Carty runs
clinics by appointment. Long-time Kincumber
physiotherapist Rony Wong is also available
for appointments.
Dr Ian Charlton works in the village every
Thursday afternoon and there is presently a
waiting list for his services. Registered nurses
and carers are also available at the village and
24-hour emergency response is monitored by

The rousing strains of “Funiculi Funicula”
played by talented residents Vince Duffy
(piano) and Roger Miller (saxophone) greeted
guests as they arrived to have fun and
delicious food at Broadwater Court Waterfront
Estate’s Charity Italian Luncheon.
Upon arrival, a long-stemmed rose and a
welcoming “Buon giorno” for the lady guests,
and a complimentary drink for all, set the
scene for even better things to come. And it
was all for a very good cause – to raise funds
for an orphanage in Tapachula, Mexico which
looks after more than 60 very needy
children. It is run by ex-Noosaville
couple, Pam and Alan Skuse.
The entertainment was interspersed by
a steady stream of home-cooked Italian
food being served from the kitchen
by six ‘capocuoche eccellenti’. Large
platters of antipasti preceded the main
5.
meal of delicious mozzarella meatballs
and sauce. This was accompanied with toppings of olives and grated
parmesan cheese and baskets of bread.
Dessert came in the form of Italian Cassata, drizzled with melted
chocolate, cream and a strawberry topping. Tea, coffee and chocolate
macaroons completed the menu.
All courses were served at the tables by bow-tied and cummerbunded
‘waiters’ in the forms of Jim Poulter, Eric Gibbons and Kevin Bunt. The
competent master of ceremonies was Vince Duffy and Jim Poulter
encouraged guests to try for one of the five excellent raffle prizes.
Tenor Bryce Steep delighted the guests with his melodious voice and
guitar accompaniment and was followed by the ‘knock ’em dead’
singing of Keith Duffy, brother of Vince Duffy, in the style of Al Jolson.
Both brothers later joined in song to (can we say?) “wild” applause.
Roger Miller and his ukulele concluded the entertainment, singing his own
song ‘Camping Down In Italy’, which also met with a rousing response.
More than
$1,500 was
sent to the
orphanage and
was gratefully
received.

“I knew Mum would be happy here”
After my father died I was at a loss to
replace the familiar, warm environment
of home for my mother. It seemed
increasingly impossible to replace the
companionship of a lifetime companion
for her, particularly for someone in her
mid-eighties who now needed some
extra domestic support.
After several unsuccessful attempts,
I contacted Leisure Lea Gardens
to investigate their supported care
apartments. The moment I walked into
the foyer area I knew that Mum would
be happy here – for the first time after
many disappointments the energy of
the village seemed so buoyant and
warm. In fact, I said to a friend, ‘I think I
could live here myself’.
Six months down the track Mum has
indeed settled in and is back to her
old self. However, probably the one
most outstanding contributing factor
to her comfort and one which I could
not have predicted at the outset, is the
fantastic quality of the staff.
The level of personal attention paid
to each of the residents continues to
amaze me and I am now able to rest
assured that she is constantly in, not
only capable, but caring hands. I now
know that she will continue to thrive in
this friendly and nurturing environment.

I came to Leisure Lea Gardens towards

have ever made.
When I came here there were only
two blocks of self-care units so I was
originally in one of them. After a couple
of years the hostel and dining room
were built and I moved into the hostel.
The place has grown around me.
This is a wonderful place to live. The

in a way one could never imagine. This
applies also to the kitchen staff and the

MORRELL. RECENTLY, WE RECEIVED THE
FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS FROM BOTH
NEW AND LONG-TIME RESIDENTS:
“We liked what we saw”
After living in a 3-bedroom home
with granny flat for eight years,
circumstances caused my wife and I to
look further afield for retirement homes
and villages.
Our first place looked promising but
obstacles were raised and government
departments had to be satisfied. Our
next home looked great, close to the
shops and transport, but a phone
call told us they would only keep the
accommodation for 14 days
(impossible as we had to put the house
on the market).
We were getting downhearted as we
had looked at so many retirement
villages. In August my wife and I looked
at Leisure Lea Gardens and we liked
what we saw.
The house was sold in November,
we moved into Leisure Lea Gardens
and we are both happy with the staff,
