Dear Members
On the 24th June 2015 a group of interested people, members and guests
met at Club Tivoli for lunch and to learn more about retirement homes
and how to finance a move into such an institution, when circumstances
make this necessary.
Eva Simo from TTHA spoke about all the possibilities TTHA has to
offer, from independent living units up to high care. Everything is on
offer under the one management. German language and German food is
provided and every year up to 10 young Germans, doing a so-called
social year, work and live with the people in the home. Lots of
entertainment is on offer.
It was also very interesting what Ricarda Jagusch- Romanhor, also from
TTHA, had to say:
People who want to stay as long as possible in their homes can also be
helped in different ways. They may need help with their shopping,
house- cleaning, taking a shower or other things. Depending on their
financial situation, the government will help with financing these
support services.
To prevent loneliness among older people, excursions and other
entertainment are on offer.
Finally, Erika Wilke talked to us. She is the director of Prime Care
Financial Planning. She would assist anybody who wants to enter a
retirement home and needs help with the financial side of the move.
I had the feeling we all went home a little wiser and more confident
after this information. And it is also good to know that help is available,
in case we want to stay in our homes as long as possible. To stay at
home as long as possible is now the preferred option also of the
government.

In August our book market will take place again. Yes, we sell books the
whole year through but once every year we put all our books on
display for you to make your choice. Why don’t you come and have a
look, I am sure you will find something. Please, note the exact date and
time in our events calendar.
Regards from Linde Mohr
The
winter
months
June,
July,
and
August
in
Melbourne are somehow special. Temperatures go down and
some people start to feel a certain unrest. They want to escape the- by
Australian standards- cooler weather. Where will they go? To the much
warmer Queensland? Some spend some months there and return
tanned and relaxed to indulge again in the activities a big city like
Melbourne has to offer.
Others want to go further away, to Europe or other parts of this
beautiful world. In the course of a small research project, the author
Pascale Hugues realised that human beings can be divided in two
different groups: There are the lucky ones who never suffer from any
travel fever or anxiety . Within 10 minutes they have packed their little
suitcase, closed the door behind them, put the keys in their pocket and,
whistling leave for their new summer life. They travel with little
luggage; should some fat stains appear on their trousers, they regard it
as part of the holiday atmosphere. For cooler days they hope that
someone might help them out with a sweater or a cardigan. With happy
heart and a peaceful soul, they start their journey. The evening before
their departure they might still invite guests into their home. The
cleaning up can wait until they return; they are off to new adventures.
And then there are the others: packing makes them nervous they are
undecided, fear the worst: a storm, a drop in temperature, special
cocktail-parties with strict dress code, and a fat stain on their trousers
could ruin the whole holiday. For days their behaviour gives reason for
concern. They follow scrupulously a certain ritual: first get things out of
the wardrobe, then start packing. Soon their house looks more like a
market stall with everything on display. Then the vicious circle begins.
No, not that shirt- fold it up again and put it back into the wardrobe.
But, at a closer look, the red dress was always helpful in former years,
and that pullover I had completely forgotten and not worn for the last

two years, could be useful. Ok, out they come again and end up in the
suitcase. This game could go on forever.
Another tactic is the writing of lists, before you open your wardrobe. A
good list and you have your travelling anxieties under control. Every
year you take the perhaps slightly improved travelling list out and
packing can start.
And then there are all these other lists, like the one from your
pharmacist for your travelling emergency pills, the list from RACV
about what to do in case of an accident, sickness or emergency
transport. The list for the house: Who will hold the keys, who will water
the flowers, who empties the letter box, who feeds the guinea pig?
Have you cancelled the newspaper delivery? What about the picnic list
have you water and a sandwich for an emergency ? You could go on
and on to be prepared for all sorts of disasterous circumstances.
What can we say? All those who stay at home do not have to face these
worries and nerve-racking circumstances. But if you never go away,
never travel, you will never learn how cosy and comfortable your own
home may be. Linde Mohr
It is neither wealth nor splendour,
but tranquillity and occupation,
which give happiness.

Obituary
We have the sad duty to inform our members that Mr. Karl Haak passed
away on 26th June 2015 whilst spending his summer holiday in
Landau/Palatinate, Germany. He has been a member of our Society
since 1981, joined our Committee in 1984, held the office of Honorary
Treasurer from 1986 to 2000, President from 2000 to 2005, and was
appointed Honorary Life Member in 2013. In addition, he represented
our Society in the Committee of the TTHA.
Prior to his posting as CEO of Deutz Australia, he was Chief Executive
of his company’s subsidiary in Brazil. He joined our Society soon after
his arrival in Melbourne and it did not take him long to become actively
engaged in the affairs of the AGWS.
In spite of his advancing age he was and remained an enthusiastic
motorbike and bicycle rider; until very recently he enjoyed cycling in the
beautiful Palatinate.
We think of him with deep gratitude and remember him fondly for his
friendly demeanour. We acknowledge gratefully his management
expertise and recognise that we have now lost a devoted member and
worthy president.
He has been a faithful supporter of our Society for decades and we owe
him a great deal of gratitude for his selfless and long-lasting service in
support of the needy in our society. We shall always remember him
dearly.
We express our sincere condolences to his wife Marlies and all members
of the Haak family.

Rappelkiste 2015
By Kerstin Begley
As always, we started with the Rappelkisten song –
Gine, our teacher, starts on the guitar, the mums
stop chatting and everyone sits down in the
“Morgenkreis”, the circle.
Today, apples were hidden in the Rappelkiste. We had a good look at
what an apple looks like when you cut it open and what you can do
with the pips. Gine had a surprise in store: ‘Let’s see what yummy
things you can make out of an apple!’
But first we had to finish our “Morgenkreis”. There was a tree with
apples hanging off it. The children picked apples and behind each one
there was hidden a story or an activity.
AGWS Rundbrief Nr. 521 August 2015
Seite 9
10
We sang lots of songs: "Lied über mich", "Es tanzt ein Bibabutzemann",
the "Teddybär" Action-Lied and "Spangerlanger Hansel", always
accompanied by Gine’s guitar and the children’s musical instruments.
Then, we made “Bratäpfel”, baked apples, filled with strawberry jam
and topped with grated nuts and sugar and finally: vanilla sauce!
While the apples baked in the oven, the children made their own
"Kleines Apfelbuch", ‘little Apple Books’. After a meal of baked apples,
we finished with a story from the "Frederick" collection – today:
"Nicolas, wo warst Du?"
Thank you, dear Gine – as always a fantastic program!
„Rappelkiste“ is the Australian-German Welfare Society’s German
Language Playgroup. The group is led by two German pre-school
teachers, Andrea Lange und Gine Schäfer, who volunteer their time.
Every Thursday morning during school term time we play, paint, draw,
glue, sing, rhyme and listen to stories ...of course in German!
For children aged two upwards, accompanied by an adult.

The slightly alternative Filmclub
In June, we watched Zusammen ist man
weniger allein, a film by Claude Berri with
Audrey Tautou, Guillaume Canet, Laurent Stocker und Francoise
Bertin, based on the novel of the same name by Anna Gavalda.
Camille (Audrey Tautou), shy and afraid of love, earns her living
cleaning other people’s homes, although she is a very good artist. She
lives in a tiny roof top flat with no heating. Philibert (Laurent Stocker)
AGWS Rundbrief Nr. 521 August 2015
Seite 10

is an aristocrat and owns a giant appartment in the same house. Selling
picture postcards, he doesn’t make a lot of money and sublets a room
to Franck (Guillaume Canet). He dreams of going onto the stage –
albeit, his severe stutter makes that impossibe. Hectic, irresponsible
Franck is an incurable womaniser. Paulette (Francoise Bertin), is
Franck’s grandmother. After a bad fall, she has to live in an aged care
facility and is very unhappy. A series of events leads to the four
moving in together in Philibert’s apartment. They argue, they love,
they support each other ... and together, they are less lonely.
Eventually, Philibert takes steps to realise his dreams; Franck falls in
love seriously and Camille has to face her fears of commitment ... and
Paulette – well, I won’t give all away!
A lovely, heart-warming film! This time, we indulged ourselves with a
Rhubarb-Apple cake with a sour cream topping!
The alternative film club meets once a month in the AGWS to watch
German films in good company, why not become a member? We show
comedies, romances, ‘serious’ films, classics and contemporaries ...
The next show is on Thursday, 13 August at 3pm
If you are interested in the film club, you have to become a member.
Then you will receive details regarding the next film and an invitation to
come along.
We meet on the first Thursday of the month but unfortunately seats are
limited – early bookings are necessary.
Please register for the film club with your name, address, telephone
number and email address.

Tuesday, 18 August at 7pm: Augustas Garten von Andrea Heuser
Als die fünfjährige Augusta mit ihrer Mutter Barbara ihr Zuhause
verlässt, ahnt sie nicht, dass dies ein Abschied von ihrem bisherigen
Leben ist. Den Ort, an dem sie bald darauf wohnen, mag sie nicht.
Genauso wenig wie Eduard, den Freund der Mutter. Doch Barbara
verschweigt ihrer Tochter die Wahrheit. Auf Augustas Frage, wann sie
endlich wieder nach Hause fahren, antwortet sie stets nur mit einem
unbestimmten »Bald«. Eine aufwühlende Geschichte einer Trennung
und eines ersehnten Neubeginns, eine Geschichte über das
Verschwinden und über die tragischen Folgen, die aus zu langem
Schweigen erwachsen können. Ein Roman, der zu Herzen geht.
The books can be borrowed at the AGWS, St Kilda-, Brighton- und Glen Waverley

News from our June Book Club
Buntschatten und Fledermäuse, allows us a glimpse into a world which
is rather unknown territory to most of us. The author and film maker,
Axel Brauns, is autistic. He enjoys his “unremarkability’ – he had to
work hard for it.
“Noch vor ein paar Jahren hat mir an Ausdruck all das gefehlt, was
vermeintlich vollständige Menschen auszeichnet..” Only a few years
ago, I lacked all the expressions which determine a so-called “normal”
person.’ (Axel Brauns, Buntschatten und Fledermäuse, 2004, S. 9)
‘So-called normal persons’ – a good starting point to discuss this
marvelous book. Brauns invites us into another world – but who is to
say that that world is not ‘normal’ for the one experiencing it? Is there
only one ‘normal’ world or are there many different realities? Could it
be that most of us accept and fit into a norm, which has been
determined and accepted by society?
In brief paragraphs and wonderfully expressive language, we enter
Brauns’ world and follow him from childhood to the age of twenty. The
silent, withdrawn boy who shies away from social contacts, who hears
many words only as ‘Geräusch’ – noise –, and perceives the faces of
others covered in a mist or fog, grows into a highly intelligent,
inquisitive young man with a thirst for knowledge. His matriculation
results are excellent and he goes on to university. Alex teaches himself
the language and the communication skills, which are necessary to
manage in a world of Buntschatten (colourful shadows) and
Fledermäusen (bats). Reacting entirely from his own sense and emotion,
he divides the world into pleasant people who are like colourful
shadows and those, whom he distrusts and who appear to him as bats.
He loves order, regularity and patterns. For hours, he can occupy
himself with lichteln (observing the play of the light) and wischeln,
lovingly exploring different surfaces. His world requires its own words
to explain it. After the unexpected death of his father, Brauns enters the
family’s business: he helps to write cross word puzzles, and discovers
dictionaries and encyclopedias. He learns that words do not have to
have just one meaning but several. With that, he enters the world of the
non-autistic and many stumbling blocks are removed.

‘To be born into autism is a miserable preparation for life in a world
without autism. Good manners set up many pits, into which one can
fall.”
Das Leben im Autismus ist eine miserable Vorbereitung für das Leben
in einer Welt ohne Autismus. Die Höflichkeit hat viele Näpfchen
aufgestellt, in die man treten kann. (ibid, S.9)

Your retirement living starts now
Due for completion in December 2015, TTHA has three brand new
beautiful three bedroom independent living units for sale within a
friendly community with a social club that is active and diverse.
Residents continue their independent lifestyle maintaining social,
professional and personal interests with the benefit of full access to all
social and recreational activities and facilities with the village.
Our maintenance staff attend to all maintenance issues. The advantage
of not having responsibility for this upkeep means residents have more
time and energy for the things they want to do.

whilst away, regardless of the duration and residents also have access to
the 24 hour emergency call service – for added peace of mind.
