DISTRICT 9465 - District Governor - Bob Cooper 

District Web: http://rotary9465.org.au/ 

By Manuel Cordeiro, a member of the 

Rotary Club of Vila Real, Portugal 

In the 12 years since I joined the Rotary 

Club of Vila Real, my enthusiasm for 

Rotary has grown constantly. 

I work Rotary into everything I do and 

consider myself first and foremost a 

Rotarian. 

Through Rotary, I have been blessed 

with seeing lives changed in Timor- 

Leste. 

As a professor of engineering at the 

University of Trás os Montes & Alto 

Douro, Villa Real, Portugal, I travel 

frequently on teaching assignments, 

and have made contacts in Timor-Leste 

and Mozambique, both Portuguese 

speaking countries. 

On eleven different teaching 

assignments of two-month duration at 

the University in Timor, I’ve been able to 

use free time to teach and mentor 

young people who are in need of many 

things, most of all attention and 

emotional support. 

On one of my visits, I attended the 

Rotary Club of Dili, Timor Lorosa’e, 

Timor-Leste, and met a Rotarian from 

the Rotary Club of Ipanema, Brazil, who 

was in the country on work for the 

United Nations. 

He introduced me to Sister Eliene, a 

Dominican nun of Brazilian nationality, 

who has been working with Timorese 

teenagers. 

OUR 

COVER 

With the financial help of Portuguese 

friends and Rotarians from my club, I 

began a project to collect school fees 

for Timorese students, lining up a 

sponsor in Portugal for each, and 

helping deliver letters between the 

students and their godparents. 

The project is now in its fifth year. 

Timorese society tends to overlook girls. 

Working with the teens to enhance their 

cultural identity, among other things, 

helps these young women build selfesteem. 

As part of the program, they produced a 

CD recording of traditional Timorese 

music. 

The safety of the place also creates a 

space for them to do homework, sing, 

dance, and discuss their joys and 

struggles. 

I have built some reputation with the 

Brazilian, Portuguese, and Timorese 

authorities, through my activities as 

professor and Rotarian. 

This in turn has helped secure much 

needed assistance for the community. 

At the request of its director, we were 

able to get repairs made to the Paiol 

Primary school and some other local 

schools, with the help of the Portuguese 

military. 

Nothing I have done would have been 

possible without my Rotary background. 

Rotary allows us to achieve our goals, 

to the benefit of those in need.

Aussie alter-ego fires up the large 

audience at our International Dinner.

The Spoke 

Texas Rotarians light the way to a 

better future 

By Steve Welch, president of the Rotary 

Club of Northwest Austin, Texas, USA 

In the squatter’s village of San 

Mateo, Belize, my Rotary club is 

providing solar lights for more than 

100 school children who previously 

attempted to study by candle light. 

We are working in partnership with 

the Grid Earth Project, which was 

founded by members of our club, a 

charity dedicated to providing solar 

powered lighting to replace other 

dangerous light sources used in 

remote areas of the world. 

The World Health Organization 

(WHO) estimates that 2.5 million 

people die each year as a result of 

using kerosene, candles, or other 

unsafe and toxic fuel sources to 

light their homes after dark. 

These deaths occur from explosions, 

burns, aspiration, and respiratory 

illnesses. 

In San Mateo, the use of candles 

was resulting in many burn injuries, 

and it limited the amount of time a 

child could read to about 30 minutes 

before the candle burned out. 

The light provided by a single 

candle is extremely inefficient, 

providing only a small percentage 

of the recommended light for 

reading. 

After these lamps were distributed 

to the children, burn injuries 

decreased instantly. 

What was previously a daily event is 

now a rare occurrence in San Mateo. 

Additionally, the reading scores in 

all grades improved dramatically 

because children could spend more 

time reading and had sufficient light 

to study. 

The children of the Rehma 

Orphanage in the Korogocho slum 

outside Nairobi, Kenya, were also 

attempting to study by candle light. 

As in San Mateo, these wonderful 

children were so anxious to learn 

that they were willing to risk burns 

and scars to be able to read a book. 

Today several of the solar lamps 

from The Grid Earth Project are 

being used by these children who 

huddle together under them. 

They need more, and fortunately, we 

will be delivering 100 more solar 

lamps soon. 

In addition, the club is providing 

solar lamps to the Maasai, a seminomadic 

indigenous tribe in Kenya 

and Northern Tanzania; and two 

more villagers in Central America in 

coming weeks. 

With these projects, our club is 

lighting the darkness that so many 

live in at the bottom of the socioeconomic 

pyramid, creating 

permanent change and providing 

hope and opportunity for those who 

need it most. Will you join us

As Rotarians, we are all aware of polio and 

Rotary International’s fight to eradicate the 

disease forever. 

In the following article, written by Peter 

Crosta M.A., and reproduced here by 

kind permission of Medical News 

Today, we take a look at what is Polio 

and what causes it. 

Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a highly 

contagious viral infection that can lead to 

paralysis, breathing problems, or even 

death. The term poliomyelitis is from the 

Greek poliós meaning "grey", myelós 

referencing the spinal cord, and -itis meaning 

inflammation. 

Polio can be classified as either 

symptomatic or asymptomatic. About 95 

percent of all cases display no symptoms 

(asymptomatic polio), and between four 

percent and 8%eight percent of cases 

display symptoms (symptomatic polio). 

Symptomatic polio can be broken down 

further into a mild form called non-paralytic 

or abortive polio and a severe form called 

paralytic polio (occurring in 0.1% to 2% of 

cases). 

Paralytic polio also may be classified as: 

Spinal polio - attacks motor neurons in 

the spinal cord and causes paralysis in 

arms and legs and breathing problems 

Bulbar polio - affects neurons responsible 

for sight, vision, taste, swallowing, 

and breathing 

Bulbospinal polio - both spinal and 

bulbar polio 

Many people with non-paralytic polio are 

able to make a full recovery, while those 

with paralytic polio generally end up with 

permanent paralysis. 

Polio used to be a big killer. Today 

(September 2012) polio has been 

eradicated in all but three countries worldwide 

- Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan, 

according to Rotary International, The Bill 

and Melinda Gates Foundation and the 

United Nations. 

Who gets polio 

Like many other infectious diseases, polio 

victims tend to be some of the most 

vulnerable members of the population. This 

includes the very young, pregnant women, 

and those with immune systems that are 

substantially weakened by other medical 

conditions. Anyone who has not been 

immunised against polio is especially 

susceptible to contracting the infection. 

Additional risk factors for polio include 

travelling to places where polio is endemic 

or widespread, living with someone infected 

with polio, working in a laboratory where 

live poliovirus is kept, and having your 

tonsils removed. 

What causes polio 

Polio is caused by the poliovirus, a highly 

contagious virus specific to humans. The 

virus usually enters the environment in the 

faeces of someone who is infected. In 

areas with poor sanitation, the virus easily 

spreads through the faecal-oral route, via 

contaminated water or food. In addition, 

direct contact with a person infected with 

the virus can cause polio. 

What are the symptoms of polio 

Polio, in its most debilitating forms, displays 

symptoms such as paralysis and death. 

However, most people with polio don't 

actually display any symptoms or become 

noticeably sick. When symptoms do 

appear, there are differences depending on 

the type of polio. 

Non-paralytic polio (abortive poliomyelitis) 

leads to flu-like symptoms that last for a few 

days or weeks, such as fever, sore throat, 

headache, vomiting, fatigue, back and neck 

pain, arm and leg stiffness, muscle tenderness, 

muscle spasms, and meningitis. 

Paralytic polio will often begin with 

symptoms similar to non-paralytic polio, but 

will progress to more serious symptoms 

such as a loss of muscle reflexes, severe 

muscle pain and spasms, and loose or 

floppy limbs that is often worse on one side 

of the body. 

How is polio diagnosed 

Polio is often recognised because of 

symptoms such as neck and back stiffness, 

abnormal reflexes, and 

trouble with 

swallowing and breathing. 

A physician who 

suspects polio will 

perform laboratory tests 

that check for poliovirus 

using throat 

secretions, stool 

samples, or 

cerebrospinal fluid. 

How is polio treated 

There is no cure for 

polio once a person 

becomes infected. Therefore, treatments 

are focused on increasing comfort, 

managing symptoms, and preventing 

complications. This may include providing 

bed rest, antibiotics for additional infections, 

pain killers, ventilators to help breathing, 

physiotherapy and moderate exercise, and 

a proper diet. 

One treatment for lung paralysis due to 

polio was to place the patient into an iron 

lung - a device that would push and pull 

chest muscles to make them work. However, 

more modern portable ventilators and 

jacket-type ventilators are now employed. 

How can polio be prevented 

Although polio essentially has been 

eradicated in the US since 1979 and in the 

Western Hemisphere since 1991, children 

and adults in Afghanistan, India, Nigeria, 

and Pakistan are still contending with the 

disease. There are two vaccines available 

to fight polio - inactivated poliovirus (IPV) 

and oral polio vaccine (OPV). 

IPV, which consists of a series of injections 

beginning two months after birth and 

continuing until a child is 4 to 6 years old, is 

provided to most children in the United 

States, the UK, and Australia. The vaccine 

is created from inactive poliovirus, but it is 

very safe and effective and cannot cause 

polio. OPV is created from a weakened or 

attenuated form of poliovirus, and it is the 

vaccine of choice in many countries 

because of its low cost, ease of 

administration, and ability to provide 

excellent immunity in the intestine. OPV, 

however, has been known to revert to a 

dangerous form of poliovirus that is able to 

paralyse its victim. 

Polio vaccinations or boosters are highly 

recommended in anyone who is not 

vaccinated or is unsure if she is vaccinated.

Rotary’s Five Avenues 

of Service 

The Object of Rotary is to "encourage and 

foster the ideal of service as a basis of 

worthy enterprise." 

Rotary is a service organisation. 

Since 1910, the Rotary Motto has been 

"Service Above Self." 

Rotary strives to achieve it's objective of 

"Service Above Self" through activities in 

five primary areas. 

These are often referred to as the Five 

Avenues of Service. 

Club Service 

This "Avenue" promotes the development 

of acquaintance as an opportunity for 

service. 

It involves the activities necessary to make 

the Club function successfully and achieve 

its goals. 

Vocational Services 

This area represents the opportunity that 

each Rotarian has to represent the dignity 

and utility of one's vocation as an 

opportunity to serve society. 

Rotarians promote and foster high ethical 

standards in business and professions and 

promote the recognition of the worthiness 

of all useful occupations. 

Community Service 

This "Avenue" relates to the activities that 

Rotarians undertake to improve the quality 

of life in their community. 

Particular emphasis is given to helping 

children, needy families, the aged, the 

handicapped, and those most in need of 

assistance. 

Rotarians strive to promote the ideal of 

service in their personal, business, and 

community lives. 

International Service 

In this area, Rotarians strive for the 

advancement of international understanding, 

goodwill, and peace through a 

world fellowship of business and 

professional persons united in the ideal of 

service. International Service Projects are 

designed to meet the humanitarian needs 

of people in many lands, with particular 

emphasis on the most underprivileged 

children and families in developing 

countries. 

New Generations Service 

Through New Generations Service, we 

work with young people to help them 

become the next generation of leaders, 

visionaries, and peacemakers.

following sources:

New Generations gives Rotary a 

fifth avenue to serve 

By Ryan Hyland 

Rotary International News 

The commitment to getting youth and 

young adults actively involved in Rotary 

was strengthened in April when representatives 

at the Council on Legislation approved 

New Generations as the fifth Avenue of 

Service. 

Past RI President Ray Klinginsmith says 

the new Avenue of Service improves the 

value of youth programs and their impact 

on Rotary's future. 

"The Council wanted to be sure New 

Generations programs were given 

adequate attention by clubs," says 

Klinginsmith. 

"Rotarians just want to be up front and 

recognise the importance of these 

programs. 

New Generations isn't just important to the 

future of Rotary but also our communities 

and the world." 

New Generations Service acknowledges 

the positive change implemented by youth 

and young adults involved in leadership 

development activities, community and 

international service, and exchange 

programs that enrich and foster world 

peace and cultural understanding. 

Programs include RYLA, Rotaract, Interact, 

and Rotary Youth Exchange. 

"We truly have the finest youth programs in 

the world," says Klinginsmith. 

"Their intrinsic value continues to escalate. 

We do a great job with these programs, we 

just need to give them more visibility." 

"News of the Council's decision was 

welcomed with excitement and enthusiasm 

by Rotarians in our district," says Vicki 

Puliz, chair of New Generations Service for 

District 5190 . 

"We are using this as a way to emphasise 

how Rotary International views New 

Generations and its importance. 

It's a springboard to communicate even 

more with our clubs about these 

programs." 

Virtually every club in her district is involved 

with one or more of the four youth 

programs. A wide range of district programs 

fall under the New Generations umbrella, 

says Puliz. 

"Focusing more on youth is crucial for Rotary 

to thrive and survive," she says. "It's 

one of the reasons why we have programs 

on literacy, leadership training, and ethics 

for young people." 

She recommends that every club appoint a 

New Generations Service chair. "We've 

learned that our youth programs benefit 

from communication and coordination," 

says Puliz. 

New Generations joins Club Service, Vocational 

Service, Community Service, and 

International Service as an Avenue of Service. 

Before starting a project, Rotarians 

are asked to think broadly about how their 

club and its members could contribute 

within each avenue. 

Klinginsmith says the best clubs are the 

ones that are well balanced. 

"Strong clubs are involved in all five of the 

Avenues of Service," he says. "The ones 

that don't have New Generations programs 

are missing a part of the great adventure of 

Rotary."

Humanitarian Aid for Libya 

15,000 litres of bottled water, loaded for Tripoli & Misurata 

In August 2011, right when everyone who 

was going on holiday was away (except for 

the one hundred thousand or so visitors 

that come to Malta for a bit of sun and sea 

and some even for history) Malta had found 

itself, for some months, inextricably linked 

to the goings on in Libya, just 300 or so 

kilometres to the south. 

The Rotary Club of Malta had just had a 

visit from two representatives of Rotary 

Shelter Box, an organisation that delivers to 

emergency situations all over the world, 

what appear to be plastic kit-boxes. 

These are prepared in different executions 

to help locals survive in desperate 

situations and are packed with tents, 

sleeping bags, cooking utensils and other 

necessaries for staying alive. 

Some 500 of these boxes were delivered to 

Libya, at a time when civilians were fast 

becoming targets in the rebel uprising 

against the regime of strongman Muamar 

Gaddhafi, who had ruled the country with 

an iron fist for over 40 years. 

Rikke Rosenlund, an efficient blonde young 

lady from Denmark was assisting Rotary 

Shelter Box in this operation from Malta, 

while her tough looking colleague, Mark 

Pearson from Scotland, travelled to Libya to 

ensure the goods were delivered to the 

people that needed them. 

While in Malta, they were involved in 

delivering some 60 tons of aid to Misurata 

in Libya, which included some 2,500 school 

packs. 

The Rotary Club of Malta and RCLV 

them wherever they could in Malta, and 

also put them into contact with former 

District Governor Francesco Arezzo, when 

they visited Sicily. 

The Malta Civil Protection department was 

coordinating the collection of humanitarian 

aid, and organised a food and water 

collection in aid of the Libyan people one 

week end in August. 

A number of organisations received an 

email from Rikke of Rotary Shelter Box 

explaining what was immediately 

considered necessary:- 

Quote 

“As per our discussion at the Rotary meeting 

on Thursday, I am hereby sending you 

a list over food required for Misurata during 

Ramadan. This list was provided to us at a 

Rotary Club of Malta members in front of the truck loaded with bottled spring water 

ready to be shipped to Libya 

cluster meeting coordinated by the government 

last week. 

Any help you and the other Rotary clubs in 

district 2110 can provide with obtaining the 

items on the list (either by a financial 

contribution or the actual items) would be 

great.” 

List of foodstuffs required for Misurata for 

the month of Ramadan was extensive. 

Looking at a list of over seven thousand 

tons of humanitarian aid, the club realised 

there was absolutely no way it could by 

make any sort of worthwhile contribution 

towards the mountain of requirements. 

The Club asked through its membership of 

organisations that could somehow help with 

supplying some of these requirements from 

material already available locally. 

Others were trying the same at the same 

time making what seemed an impossible 

task even more difficult. 

In the end the Club called the contact man 

himself, Mario Debono, the man who 

founded ‘I-goaid’ who responded with ‘What 

we really need is water’ which strangely 

enough was not even on the list. 

Here was something the Rotary Club of 

Malta could get its hands on straight away 

and in a very short time had managed to 

source a supply of mineral water in bottles, 

at a special rate and purchased some 20 

pallets totalling 15,000 litres of water. 

The Club then coordinated the delivery 

through the Civil Protection Department and 

were informed where the aid ship Al-Antisar 

would be berthing and when she would be 

leaving. 

Fortunately they found the vessel, and also 

Mario, who was managing the whole 

humanitarian aid project. 

Members watched pallets of food and other 

supplies being loaded, till eventually our 

own consignment of water, was delivered, 

loaded and on its way. 

A satisfying little job well done. 

The story doesn’t stop there as the Club 

was fortunate to have received an invitation 

for a number of Rotarians and their 

spouses to lunch on board a Silver-Line 

cruise liner, Silver Spirit.

Thanks to the Rotary Club of 

Santa Barbara North (RCSBN), 

women and children, who 

previously travelled as far as 

five miles a day to fill their 20- 

litre water cans, now walk less 

than a half-mile to the central 

well that provides water for the 

entire village. 

With potable water more easily 

available, they now have time 

for other activities, such as 

farming, raising livestock, 

basket weaving, and school for 

the children. 

The Ngu-Nyumu well project 

began providing water last 

March to the remote village 

situated about 80 kilometres 

southeast of Nairobi, and Joe 

Lanza, director of international 

service for RCSBN, attended a 

dedication ceremony on July 2. 

The celebration featured 

speeches by a variety of 

dignitaries, including the 

assistant chief of the village. 

The project itself was the 

Joe Lanza, director of international service for the 

Rotary Club of Santa Barbara North (left), and John 

Ndundu Kaindi, village elder, wash their hands at the 

Ngu-Nyumu well in central Kenya. Ndundu Kaindi 

Page 12 

brainchild of Jim Lisi, the 

former international service 

chairperson for RCSBN. 

Lisi had been looking for a clean 

water project, and happened 

upon Global Water, an Oxnardbased 

non-profit organisation 

that had completed several 

water projects in Central 

America and elsewhere. Through 

the Global Water organisation, 

Lisi met Evie Treen, founder of 

Friends of Woni International, 

Inc., a nonprofit aimed at helping 

the needy in Kenya. 

Treen is also the owner of Vision 

Adventure Safaris, a United 

States affiliate of Woni Safaris, 

a Nairobi company owned by 

William Muli and Christopher 

Nthiani. 

Both Muli and Nthiani grew up in 

the village of Ngu-Nyumu. 

“When Jim found out about the 

need for water in this village, he 

brought the project back to 

RCSBN, which began to raise 

funds,” said Lanza. 

RCSBN raised $20,000 

from its own members, 

with additional funds 

from Ansbach, 

Carpinteria Morning, and 

Nairobi-Langata Rotary 

Clubs, as well Rotary 

district and international 

matching grants. 

Engineers and geologists 

were hired to confirm 

the presence of a water 

aquifer, and to carry out 

the work. 

In addition to being a source of 

potable water for the villagers, 

the well provides water for 

irrigating the area around and 

immediately below the well site. 

A tap is monitored daily by an 

agent of the Woni Initiative 

Development Project (WIDP), 

and funds are collected at the 

rate of five Kenyan shillings 

(about six cents) per 20-litre 

can. 

WIDP is the local communitybased 

organisation for 

administration of water usage. 

It has implemented community 

rules for the use of the water, 

and plans are currently being 

formulated to establish fish 

farms, and to plant bamboo, 

Marengo trees, and other 

sustainable crops. 

The next phase of the project 

will involve distributing the 

water to a wider geographical 

area. 

This will require a pump strong 

enough to move the water up to 

a nearby ridge, a generator, 

two large holding tanks, and 

various pipes, valves, and taps. 

Once water can be stored on 

the ridge, it will have the 

potential to reach several 

thousand additional people, 

including a nearby primary and 

secondary school complex that 

serves over 600 children, but 

has no water source on site.

Rotary Club of Phnom Penh has become 

a driving force in developing a national 

plan for voluntary blood donation in 

Cambodia. Members take pride in the 

great achievement of the club's Blood 

Drive Service Committee. 

One of the Club’s members , Rotarian Dr. 

Fil B. Tabayoyong, Jr. from the club’s 

Blood Drive Service Committee has 

assisted the National Blood Transfusion 

Center (NBTC) in crafting a proposed 

national legislation “to extensively 

promote, safeguard and strengthen a 

sustainable voluntary blood drive program 

throughout the country.” 

In May, the National Blood Transfusion 

Rotary Club of 

Phnom Penh 

Cambodia 

Phnom Penh is the capital and 

largest city of Cambodia. 

Located on the banks of the 

Mekong River, Phnom Penh 

has been the national capital 

since French colonisation of 

Cambodia, and has grown to 

become the nation's center of 

political, economic and 

industrial activities. 

Page 14 

Center carried out a cooperative five year 

strategic planning session with both public 

and private partners “in order that the overall 

thrust and direction of the voluntary 

blood drive can be effectively met by 

sharing of resources.” 

The target this year, according to the plan, 

calls for the country-wide collection of 

60,000 units of blood from voluntary blood 

donors. 

The contribution of RC of Phnom Penh 

was highlighted in the Cambodian capital 

during the celebration of World Blood 

Donor Day, June 14. 

The Rotary Club of Phnom Penh's Blood 

Drive Service Project Committee was in 

attendance and there was representation 

from academic circles, health development 

and faith-based organisations. 

The National Blood Transfusion Center is 

an organisation under Cambodia's Ministry 

of Health. 

Dr. Hok Kimching, the NBTC Director, in 

his opening speech expressed its gratitude 

to the Blood Drive Service Committee of 

the Rotary Club of Phnom Penh “in always 

providing guidance and in continuing to 

mobilise voluntary blood donors from all 

sectors of Cambodian society.” 

More than 600 attended the WBDD 

celebration in Phnom Penh which 

generated 207 volunteers who donated 

their blood to save lives and, thus, 

become heroes. This year's theme of the 

World Blood Donor Day was "Every 

blood donor is a hero." 

Among the voluntary blood donors at the 

event, which was covered by the media, 

was Cambodia's Minister of Health, 

Professor Dr. Mam Bunheng (pictured). 

In his message Mam Bunheng detailed 

the achievements of the NBTC “in 

challenging and inspiring volunteers to 

donate their blood for a cause.” 

The Minister of Health also emphasised 

that voluntary blood donation has been 

made a priority program of the government 

under Prime Minister Samdech 

Hunsen “exhorting all in the government 

to strongly support the program in order 

to address the acute shortage of blood in 

Cambodia.” 

After years of isolation, the once warravaged 

nation of Cambodia was 

reunited under the monarchy in 1993 

and has seen rapid progress in the 

economic and human resource areas. 

The country has had one of the best 

economic records in Asia, with economic 

growth averaging 6.0% for the last 10 

years. Cambodia has a population of 

over 14.8 million people. 

In a report to Global Network for Blood 

Donation, a Rotarian Action Group 

(GNBD), it says: “Under the leadership 

of the club’s new Community Service 

Projects Committee, spearheaded by 

Rotarian Peter Gray, Rotary Club of 

Phnom Penh continues to vigorously 

pursue its non-remunerated voluntary 

blood drive service program despite 

limited resources in partnership with the 

Royal Government of Cambodia's 

Ministry of Health-National Blood 

Transfusion Center (NBTC).” 

Last year, the Rotary Club of Phnom 

Penh-Cambodia, District 3350 adopted 

the French Rotary Blood Drive logo and 

motto, "My Blood for Others" (Mon Sang 

Pour Les Autres).

So I've been really busy lately with school and rope-skipping. 

I've been doing a lot of rope-skipping shows around the 

country as well as a competition in Sweden. 

A couple of weeks ago my team hosted a rope-skipping camp 

which lasted a weekend and it was a lot of fun teaching everyone 

to jump rope! 

I only have one month of school before exams start and then 

summer holiday, so as of right now I'm extremely busy with a 

boatload of assignments! 

But it's all good, cause on Friday the 19th my high school held 

a Galla, which is a big formal party/dance similar to a ball. 

The 3rd years, the ones who leave this year, wore long 

dresses and suits, and the rest of us short dresses. 

Everyone had a date who they had to dance this traditional 

dance called Les Lanciers every hour and it was such a fun 

night! 

On Saturday the 27th was my sister’s confirmation. 

Confirmation is a very old protestant tradition, that is very 

important to us Danes :) 

When you're 14 or 15 years old you go to church along with 

your classmates and you kinda confirm that you believe in 

Christ. (It's a bit more exciting and formal, than I make it out to 

be). 

At your christening your parents say yes on your behalf and 

this time you say it yourself - hopefully that makes sense. It's 

also very much a transition into adulthood. 

Afterwards your family throws you a party and you get heaps 

of presents :) 

She had a great day and it was a lot of fun! 

Still missing Australia with all of my heart! 

Kind regards, Emilie

The Spoke 


Lemons, or "golden apples," were once 

traded throughout the world as a rare and 

precious commodity. 

They were cultivated in Palestine, and 

perhaps Greece, as early as the first 

century AD. 

The first lemons had many uses. 

They were, of course, used to flavour and 

preserve food, but also their juice was 

used for antidotes to poison and venom, 

women would use them to redden their 

lips and sailors ate them to combat 

scurvy. 

In fact, scurvy ran rampant during the 

California Gold Rush and miners were 

willing to pay $1.00 for one lemon – that's 

like paying $17 today! 

Other people savoured lemons for their 

healing and soothing properties to the 

skin and body. 

Today about one-fourth of the world's 

lemons are grown in the United States 

(mostly in California). 

Many Americans enjoy them in the form 

of lemonade, but lemon consumption 

ranked only eighth among other major 

fresh fruits, according to the United 

States Department of Agriculture (USDA). 

Lemons can add tangy flavour and 

intense nutrients to your meals. 

Plus, they're great for your skin and 

keeping your counters clean! 

1. Lemons are High in Nutrients 

Lemons are an excellent source of 

vitamin B6, iron and potassium, and a 

very good source of dietary fibre and 

vitamin C. 

They also contain calcium, copper, folic 

acid, magnesium, manganese, 

phosphorus and zinc. 

2. Lemons are Rich in Bioflavonoids 

Lemons are a tasty source of 

bioflavonoids, which are natural 

compounds in some fruits and 

vegetables. 

If you haven't yet heard of them, you 

soon will. 

Here are just some of the reasons why 

you could benefit from bioflavonoids in 

your diet: 

• They protect against damage caused 

by free radicals, and enhance the 

Page 16 

antioxidant effects of some nutrients. 

• They help maintain capillaries and help 

the blood clot. Weak capillaries can 

lead to easy bruising, brain and retinal 

haemorrhages, bleeding gums and 

other abnormalities. 

• They may help prevent heart diseases. 

They act as natural antibiotics and may 

protect the body from cancer-causing 

substances. 

3. Lemon Juice is Anti-Bacterial 

You can use a solution of half lemon juice 

and half hot water as an effective gargle 

for mouth ulcers, canker sores and sore 

throats. 

The anti-bacterial properties make it highly 

effective, plus it's inexpensive and pleasant 

tasting. 

Lemon juice can even be dabbed directly 

on cold sores. 

When Life Gives You Lemons ... Some 

Lemony Tips to Use 

• A room temperature lemon will yield 

more juice than a cold one. 

• Fresh lemon juice can be frozen in ice 

cube trays and saved for later use. 

• Meat can be tenderized by marinating it 

in lemon juice. 

• Put lemon wedges inside a chicken and 

bake for a tasty meal. 

• Squeezing lemon juice on steaming 

vegetables will keep the colours bright. 

• When using the lemon peel, such as for 

lemon zest, wash it thoroughly first. 

• Lemons can be kept in a refrigerator 

crisper for about four weeks. 

• Lemons with green tinges will be more 

sour, as they haven't fully ripened yet. 

Did you know that one lemon tree can 

grow 3,000 lemons in one year 

4. They Can Make Your Meals Healthier 

Lemon juice is so tangy and flavourful that 

you can add it to a variety of foods-while 

emitting less desirable ingredients like salt 

and unhealthy fats. 

Fresh lemon juice added to your drinking 

water is an easy and tasty way to add 

nutrients to your diet and makes a great 

replacement for soda or other sweetened 

beverages. 

5. Lemon Juice Makes an Excellent 

Cleanser 

Lemon juice is antiseptic, meaning it 

fights disease-causing bacteria. 

A combination of baking soda, lemon 

juice and water makes a great natural 

and safe cleaner (many common household 

cleaners pose real health dangers) 

that can be used on countertops, 

microwaves, showers, bathrooms and 

more. 

For an even better clean, you can use it 

in conjunction with PerfectClean's Terry 

Cloths (or you can even just use them 

dry!). 

Lemon juice also acts as a bleaching 

agent that can be used to remove stains 

from cotton or linens. 

6. Lemons are Good for Your Skin 

If you have acne, rubbing slices of lemon 

onto your skin and then rinsing with tepid 

water will help clear pimples. 

Because lemons are acidic, be careful 

using this remedy if you have sensitive 

skin or try diluting it with water. 

Lemons are also a natural exfoliant and 

will help to remove dead skin cells to 

reveal brighter skin. 

So when life gives you lemons ... don't 

just make lemonade. 

Add a squirt of lemon juice to your water, 

a slice of lemon to your fish or some 

grated lemon peel to your next batch of 

cookies. 

Adding lemons to every food you can 

think of is a great way to get some 

added nutrition and added taste for very 

little added cost or effort. 

Bee's Note: The best electrolyte drink 

in the world: 

Natural Electrolyte Drink 

• 1/4 teaspoon of "good" ocean sea 

salt 

• the juice of ½ a lemon 

6 ounces of filtered water 

Drink 6 times a day; three of them with 

meals to aid digestion.

A man goes to the confessional. 

"Forgive me father, for I have sinned." 

"What is your sin, my child" The priest 

asks back. 

"Well," the man starts, "I used some

absolutely terrible." 

"When did you do use this awful 

language" said the priest. 

"I was golfing and hit an incredible drive 

that looked like it was going to go over 

250 metres, but it struck a phone line that 

was hanging over the fairway and fell 

straight down to the ground after going 

only about 100 metres." 

"Is that when you swore" 

"No, Father." Said the man. "After that, a 

squirrel ran out of the bushes and 

grabbed my ball in his mouth and began 

to run away." 

"Is THAT when you swore" asked the 

Father again. 

"Well, no." said the man, "You see, as the 

squirrel was running, an eagle came down 

out of the sky, grabbed the squirrel in his 

talons and began to fly away!" 

"Is THAT when you swore" asked the 

amazed Priest. 

"No, not yet." The man replied. "As the 

eagle carried the squirrel away in his claws, 

it flew towards the green. And as it passed 

over a bit of forest near the green, the 

squirrel dropped my ball." 

"Did you swear THEN" asked the now 

impatient Priest. 

"No, because as the ball fell it struck a tree, 

bounced through some bushes, careened 

off a big rock, and rolled through a sand 

trap onto the green and stopped within six 

inches of the hole." 

"You missed the putt, didn't you" sighed 

the Priest. 

24 Hr's to Live.... 

Morris returns from the Doctor and tells his 

wife that the Doctor has told him that he 

has only 24 hours to live. 

Given the prognosis, Morris asks his wife 

for sex. 

Naturally, she agrees, so they make love. 

About 6 hours later, the husband goes to 

his wife and says, 'Honey, you know I now 

have only 18 hours to live. Could we please 

do it one more time' 

Of course, the wife agrees, and they do it 

again. 

Later, as the man gets into bed, he looks at 

his watch, and realizes that he now has 

only eight hours left. 

He touches his wife's shoulder and asks, 

'Honey, please... just one more time 

before I die.' 

She says, 'Of course, Dear,' and they make 

love for the third time. 

After this session, the wife rolls over and 

falls asleep. 

Morris, however, worried about his 

impending death, tosses and turns, until 

he's down to four more hours. 

He taps his wife, who rouses. 

'Honey, I have only four more hours. 

Do you think we could...' 

At this point the wife sits up and says, 

'Listen Morris, enough is enough. 

I have to get up in the morning... you don't.' 

FIFTY 

SHADES OF 

GREY 

(a husband’s point of view) 

The missus bought a Paperback, down 

Shepton Mallet way, 

I had a look inside her bag;... T'was "fifty 

shades of grey". 

Well I just left her to it, 

And at ten I went to bed. 

An hour later she appeared; 

The sight filled me with dread... 

In her left she held a rope; 

And in her right a whip! 

She threw them down upon the floor, 

And then began to strip. 

Well fifty years or so ago; I might have 

had a peek; 

But Mabel hasn't weathered well; 

She's eighty four next week!! 

Watching Mabel bump and grind; 

Could not have been much grimmer. 

And things then went from bad to worse; 

She toppled off her Zimmer! 

She struggled back upon her feet; 

A couple minutes later; 

She put her teeth back in and said 

I am a dominater !! 

Now if you knew our Mabel, 

You'd see just why I spluttered, 

I'd spent two months in traction 

For the last complaint I'd uttered. 

She stood there nude and naked 

Bent forward just a bit 

I went to hold her, sensual like and stood 

on her left tit! 

Mabel screamed, her teeth shot out; 

My god what had I done! 

She moaned and groaned then shouted 

out: 

"Step on the other one"!! 

Well readers, I can't tell no more; 

About what occurred 

that day. 

Suffice to say my jet 

black hair, 

Turned fifty shades of 

grey.
