APRIL 2020
CORONAVIRUS CAUSING CHAOS
whats on
at the
"FEDdy"
Jag the Joker
$300
It might only be a tiny little
virus, but its impacts are
far reaching, even for our
tiny town with many large
events usually held at this
time of year being cancelled
in line with new Government
guidelines, and this is going
to have a huge knock on
effect for the community
groups involved, as many
were major fundraisers for
the relevant groups.
Cancellations so far
include the very popular
WOODGATE EASTER FAIR
which was CANCELLED this
week, along with the Childers
Orchid Clubs hugely popular
EASTER CENT SALE and their
major AUTUMN ORCHID
SHOW which should have
been held last week in
the Isis Cultural Centre.
Although these events didnt
have a massive impact for
the residents, the panic
buying that ensued has
gripped the town probably
has affected all residents.....
it started with TOILET ROLLS
and has itself escalated like
a PANDEMIC itself, with the
speed at which this spread.
Panic buying was first
reported around March 3rd
in Australia with toilet paper
rationing and by March
6, CNN reported that the
CHILDERS AUTO SPARES
Friendly Service
and
Helpful Advice
phenomenon of panic buying
toilet paper had gone global.
Described as herd behaviour
it didnt take much for this
to take hold and after calls
to help the elderly and
disabled, WOOLWORTHS
took the unprecidented
steps to introduce a
dedicated seniors hour to
help our older residents
and the disabled, shop.
Lets hope that this virus runs
its course quickly before they
introduce rationing books.

PRINTING OF NEXT CHITCHAT
There are very few printers around Australia that web print, which is the way
newspapers and the Chitchat are printed, and so the Chitchat is forced to get
printed in Sydney (why it takes ages to get it back after printing). Following a call
from our printers this week, the printers have had so many jobs cancelled from
businesses that have had to close, that they may not be able to afford to continue
to keep their doors open during this crisis, which may see us not being able to
physically print a paper edition until matters improve.
We will however try to go to print providing firstly we have a printer, and
secondly that OUR advertisers continue to support us with advertising,
because without advertisers there is no Chitchat.
Either way, we will continue to bring out an online e-chitchat.
As you can understand, with all events being cancelled at least until May
and possibly longer, we are going to be a little short of news and photos,
so if you have anything that you think readers may enjoy, be it a joke, recipe,
photos (that you have permission to use) etc, and any club news about
how you guys are continuing to support your groups now that
you cant physically get together.

Isis District Historical Society,
Treasure Heather Parry, has
celebrated 28 yrs of service.
The inaugural meeting to
set up an historical society
in Childers was held in 1975
but had to wait until 1983
to truly get off the ground
when the Isis Central Mill
Sugar Company donated
land in Taylor Street to house
a complex. This was the
start of an ongoing project to
explore the history of sugar
in the Isis.
Many people have donated
their time and energy to
develop the IDHS including
Treasurer Heather Parry.
Alwyn Harrip talked Heather
Childers Chitchat - The Best Little Newspaper in Town
twenty eight years service
into attending her first
meeting in 1992 where
she became Treasurer
and Heather has held that
position since. In her 28
years as Treasurer Heather
has seen many changes.
Heather remembers a small
band of enthusiast members
who worked hard to add to
the buildings and collections
visitors now enjoy. The
life members board is
almost a history of Childers
in itself; June Robinson
(Daniels), John Bunn, Alwyn
Harrip, Jack Harney, Brian
Bouchardt, Wallace and Joan
Anderson and Heather who
was granted Life Membership
in 2008.
For many years the complex’s
open days were not only a
great fun day but were also
very successful at raising
funds. Many of the old skills
were displayed from sheep
shearing and chain saw
demonstrations to delicious
damper sampling, dripping
with golden syrup. Photos
show large crowds enjoying
games and demonstrations.
In 1993 cattle brands were
burnt into the split rail fence
from many of the pioneering
families who settled the Isis
District. These brands are
still visible on the fence as
you enter the complex.
Heather remarks that she
has seen two mayor changes
in her years as Treasurer;
insurance and the digital
world. Insurance is now a
mayor cost which puts many
institutions under financial
strain and with a cost
which rises every year. The
digital world, however, has
changed history research
beyond what anyone could
have imagined in 1992.
Photos are now stored
digitally and cannot be lost
or destroyed once they are
scanned and catalogued
and history research can
now be done by anyone
with access to a computer.
Queensland State Library
and the National Library
continue adding to their
digital collections, increasing
the scope of online research
more and more.
Heather still prefers to
maintain the society’s
account ledgers manually
with beautiful handwriting
previous generations
practiced daily at school, but
which has now been lost also
due to the use of computers
and digital devices. As
Heather states she is “happy
as long as we are financial”
therefore IDHS has plans to
bring back the fun open days
of the past. Giving families an
insight into the past.
Meetings are held the 2nd
Monday of the month, 9am
at the Historical Complex in
Taylor and new members are
always welcome. Denise

Firstly I would like to thank
all who participated in last
weekend’s car run to Innes

older classicss, really great
views from the Hummock
lookout.
It was a great day with
over 20 people attending
demonstrating the
popularity of the car run/
sausage sizzle concept.
Thanks ladies for the tasty
salads, not to mention
those mouth watering
sweets. The trailer is now
proving it’s value by having
all our equipment together
for simple transporation.
My thanks go to the very
good attendance at the
last club meeting where
the next Autofest was
discussed, but because

HOW DOES THE CRONAVIRUS AFFECT MY
HEALTH WHEN GETTING A MASSAGE?
Corona Virus. It’s on
everyone’s minds,
it’s all we are talking
about at the moment.
The recommendations
from the Australian
Government include
keeping personal
distance from one
another.
So, of course, receiving
a massage, or other
hands on treatment at
this time, is going against
this recommendation.
It is up to the individual
to assess their own
possible risk, or risk to
family members before
attending massage
appointments.
At the time of writing this
article, at least one of
the professional massage
associations has made
the recommendation
to cease all hands-on
treatment for the time
being, while others
have recommended
diligent infection control
procedures.
If you are concerned
whether it is safe at
present to get a massage,
please ask your massage
therapist what infection
control measures they
have in place to protect
Ph: 0458 535 271
yourself and themselves
from infection. It is not
about being alarmist, but
about thinking through
your decisions carefully
and being informed of
any risks.
Should you wish to carry
on life as usual at this
time, there are a few
things to remember. If
you have been unwell
recently, with signs or
symptoms of a cold or
flu, (or any other illness),
please do not attend a
massage appointment.
Massage when you are
unwell, at any time,
is not recommended.
If you have recently
been overseas, as a
simple precaution, defer
your next massage
appointment for a couple
of weeks, to ensure
everyone’s peace of
mind.

Childers Chitchat - The Best Little Newspaper in Town
CAN'T BUY YOUR FAVOURITE CLEANER during this crisis?
With panic buying clearing the shelves of all the
household cleaners, here are some old fashioned
cleaners that worked for our grandparents with not
huge cost...who knows, you may never go back to your
Ajax or Mr Muscle.
Some of the items in your pantry (like baking soda
and vinegar) work as effective all-purpose cleaners
and, even better, cost next to nothing. So the next time
you're staring down a big mess but you're out of your
favorite cleaning product, don't run to the store — try
one mixing up one of these DIY homemade cleaners
instead. These natural products will kick grime to the
curb and keep your wallet happy.
1. Scented All-Purpose Cleaner
What you'll need:
One part white vinegar
One part water
Lemon rind
Rosemary sprigs
Combine the above ingredients together, pour into
a spray bottle, shake, and then let infuse for a week
before using. Once done, you can use the natural
solution to remove hard water stains, clean trash cans,
wipe away wall smudges, and much more. Besides a
fresh scent, the lemon rind may help boost cleaning
power. Caution: Do not use acidic cleaners on granite,
as they will etch the stone.
2. Kitchen Cleaner and Deodorizer
What you'll need:
4 tablespoons baking soda
1 quart warm water
To clean kitchen counters, appliances, and the inside of
your refrigerator, all you need is baking soda. "It makes
a great deodorizer and can be used to shine stainless
steel sinks and appliances," says Carolyn Forte, director
of the Good Housekeeping Institute Cleaning Lab. To
deodorize surfaces, use the solution above or pour
baking soda straight from the box and into your drain
or garbage disposal to remove odors. To shine and
remove spots from stainless steel, make a paste of
baking soda and water. Apply it with a damp cloth and
rub gently in the direction of the metal’s grain. Rinse
and buff dry.

3. DIY Glass Cleaner
2 cups water
1/2 cup white or cider vinegar
1/4 cup rubbing alcohol 70% concentration
1 to 2 drops of orange essential oil for smell (optional)
The next time you need to wash your windows and
mirrors, combine these ingredients and pour them in a
spray bottle. Hint: Don't clean windows on a hot, sunny
day, because the solution will dry too quickly and leave
lots of streaks. For mirrors, spray the solution on a
paper towel or soft cloth first before wiping.
4. Last-Resort Clothing Stain Remover
What you'll need:
1 gallon hot water
1 cup powdered dishwasher detergent
1 cup regular liquid chlorine bleach, not ultra or
concentrate
Treat badly stained but washable white clothing by
mixing the above ingredients into a stainless steel,
plastic, or enamel bowl (not aluminum). Soak garment
for 15-20 minutes. If stain is still there, let it soak a bit
longer, then wash the item as usual.
5. Natural Heavy-Duty Scrub
What you'll need:
1/2 lemon
1/2 cup borax powder
Rust stains on porcelain or enamel sinks and tubs are
no match for this cleaner. Dip the lemon into the borax
and scrub the surface, then rinse. (This is not safe for
marble or granite.) Tip: You can find borax, a laundry
booster, in the detergent aisle or order it on Amazon.
6. DIY Grease Cleaner
What you'll need:
1/2 cup sudsy ammonia
Sudsy ammonia contains detergent that helps remove
tough grime. Mix 1/2 cup with enough water to fill a
one-gallon container. Then clean your oven racks, stove
hood, and grill by dipping a sponge into the solution
and wiping over the surface before rinsing with clear
water. You can also soak oven racks and grill grates
in the mixture directly, with a little extra ammonia if
they're particularly dirty.

Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner
3/4 cup hydrogen peroxide.
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar.
1 teaspoon unscented liquid Castile soap.
10 drops tea tree oil.
20 drops lavender essential oil.
2 cups water.
Homemade Carpet Deodorizer
Combine baking soda and essential oil in a mason jar.
Cap and shake well to combine.
Remove cap and replace inner lid with construction
paper.
Secure rim and cut off excess construction paper.
Poke holes in the construction paper.*
Apply liberally to carpets.
Wait at least 1-2 hours.
Washing Up Liquid/Dish Soap
• 3 tbsp liquid Castile soap
• 2 cups warm water
• 2 tsp glycerine
• 2 tbsp. white vinegar
• 10 drops lavender essential oil
The lavender in this recipe makes the water smell
lovely, and also has anti-bacterial properties.
The scent doesn’t linger on the dishes, however.
Toilet Cleaner
• ¾ cup baking soda
• ¾ cup white vinegar
• 10 drops of tea tree oil
• 10 drops of lavender essential oils
Smells lovely and really scrubs even the most limescale
stained toilet bowls clean. As an added tip, pouring oil
around the bowl after cleaning can help prevent “things”
from sticking to the side…
Baking Soda: Baking soda is one of the most effective
cleaning ingredients available. This inexpensive
ingredient can be used to raise my favorite banana
bread and clean a toilet. Pretty amazing stuff! When
used as a homemade cleaner, baking soda absorbs
odors and scrubs away stains due to its abrasive
properties. I use Bob’s Red Mill Baking Soda for baking,
but go with the cheaper bulk bag of Arm & Hammer
for cleaning.

CONGRATULATIONS
As everyone knows, our local
pool has had a wonderful
makeover. With a cover being
added, removable walls and
the water being heated to a
lovely 28.5 degrees from the
new solar panels. Many have
been taking advantage of the
new updates especially our
local Aqua Zumba group who
have been loving the shaded
structure and beautiful water
temperatures and many
people are taking advantage
of the classes. This year
local Zumba instructor,
Summer, has again been a
part of this years council BE
ALIVE, BE ACTIVE classes
25
Angela and Sharron
with attendances peaking of
nearly 60 men and woman.
“This is the largest group we
have ever had participating
in the FREE council classes,
and numbers have remained
steady which is unusual as
once the weather cools a
little, so do our numbers.
It just goes to show that
people are loving the heated
pool”, theres even men
taking part in the classes.
There are quite a few
different aqua classes being
offered at the pool, as well as
swimming club, kids lessons
and fun nights. “We love
that the pool will be able to
be utilised all year around.
People can participate in
their aqua activities rain,
hail or shine. Aqua Zumba is
a great way to stay fit, have
fun and be part of a group of
fantastic people”. For more
information, you can contact
the pool for class times and
lessons available.

ON HOLD
My name is Rosemary
Pimm and I am
currently acting
as the Health
Promotion Officer
at BreastScreen
Queensland Wide Bay
Service (I am located
in Bundaberg).
If you are unfamiliar
with BreastScreen
Queensland, we offer
a FREE mammogram
every two years to
eligible women. Our
screening program is
specifically designed
to encourage women
aged 50-74 to attend,
as evidence suggests
that the benefits
of screening are
strongest in this
age group; however
women aged 40-49
and over 74 are also
eligible to attend.
We operate as a “well
women’s” service,
meaning that we do
not treat women who
have breast cancer
or who have breast
cancer symptoms, as
our focus is on early
detection of breast
cancer and reducing
lifestyle factors.
Appointments are
quick – you will be in
and out in no more
Come along
to the Buxton
Community
Hall on Monday
Afternoons
and learn the
interesting game
of MAHJONG
1pm
than 30 minutes and
each appointment
is one-on-one with
a female health
professional.
I am writing to advise
you that we are
now taking group
bookings at our
BreastScreen Wide
Bay Service and
thought you may be
interested in sharing
with members in
your group/club/
association (we
have identified
your contact
details through
the Bundaberg
C o m m u n i t y
Directory). A
group booking will
essentially allow any
number of females
over the age of 40 to
attend a screening
mammogram at
BreastScreen
together on the same
day and time (the
actual screening
appointment will still
be one on one with
the radiographer).
Booking a group
appointment with
BreastScreen is very
simple – all you need
to do is have a group

BreastScreen on 13

Widebay@health.qld.
gov.au and state that
you wish to make
a group booking.
We will liaise with
you to schedule
an appropriate day
and time, (you will
need to know how
many women will be
attending so we can
book the appropriate
amount of time for
your group). Each
attendee will just
need to complete
the attached
booking form and
have them sent back
to BreastScreen
(detailed on the
form).
There are many
benefits to booking
and attending a
group appointment
at BreastScreen
including:
• Attending
a group booking
with other familiar
women may bring a
more comfortable
and relaxed vibe,
helping to reduce
any anxiety about
having a mammogram.
• Ease of
scheduling an
appointment and
being able to
ON HOLD
remind each other
of your upcoming
appointment.
• Carpooling
with
others
can eliminate
transportation
issues that some
women face getting
to appointments.
• Remembering
when you are due
for your next
mammogram is much
easier when you are
all due at the same
time.
• You can make
it a day out – have a
mammogram together
and then go out for
a coffee or lunch
date afterwards to
celebrate!
If you would like any
further information
on BreastScreen
or making a group
booking; or would
like any resources
such as posters or
brochures, please
do not hesitate to

JOKE - Mick, from Dublin ,
appeared on the UK’s ‘Who
Wants To Be A Millionaire’
and towards the end of the
program had already won
£500,000.
“You’ve done very well so
far,” said Chris Tarrant, the
show’s presenter, “but for
One Million Pounds, you’ve
only got one life-line left,
phone a friend. Everything is
riding on this question. Will
you go for it?”
“Sure,” said Mick. “I’ll have a
go!”
“Which of the following birds
does NOT build its own nest?
• a) Sparrow
• b) Thrush
• c) Magpie
• d) Cuckoo?”
“I haven’t got a clue,” said
Mick, ”so I’ll use my last
lifeline and phone my friend
Paddy back home in Dublin .”
Mick called up his
mate, and told him the
circumstances and repeated
the question to him.
“Hell, Mick!” cried Paddy.

“Dat’s simple. It’s a cuckoo.”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course I’m sure.”
Mick hung up the phone and
told Chris, “I’ll go with D:
Cuckoo as my answer.”
“Is that your final answer?”
asked Chris.
“Dat it is.”
There was a long, long pause
and then the presenter
screamed, “Cuckoo is the
correct answer! Mick, you’ve
won £1 Million!” The next
night, Mick invited Paddy to
their local pub to buy him a
drink.
“Tell me, Paddy? How in
Heaven’s name did you
know it was da Cuckoo that
doesn’t build its own nest?”
“Because everyone knows
the cuckooo lives in a clock!”
