Tuesday 8 October 2013 All copy and notices due by noon Friday Covering the Freycinet Region Tuesday 8th October 2013 11th Year, Issue 40 “Salty” the sea-lion runs amok at Swansea! A fter receiving a phone call from a friend at the Barkmill Tavern, “Hey Sandy there‟s a seal in your paddocks” an investigation revealed a sea-lion at least 400 metres from the sea, at viewing distance from the tavern in my paddocks. A sea-lion can become aggressive but wouldn‟t argue with my 4wheel drive. The animal and I made it to Neville Dilger‟s place, where upon Neville appeared with a long handled hoe; after monstering a fence at the back of the Shaw Street units, we manouvered it to a fence when the law turned up, looking and smiling over Neville‟s back fence . The dog catcher also arrived after 2 police officers, myself and Neville shooed it through another fence and onto the lower Shaw Street road and proceeded towards the sea . “Salty the sea-lion” had tested many alternative routes (front gates of house blocks further down the hill ) to get back to a more homely environment. Five of us brought up the rear as this tooth gnashing animal from the deep plunged back into the waters of Oyster Bay at Swansea on Tasmania‟s east coast and swum away. Poor Neville had put up with the beast since 9 a.m., thrashing around his back yard and causing a lot of stress and havoc. Upon reflecting the incident, Neville decided it might have been attracted by the fish cleaning residue from a few he‟d caught the other day. I had seen a seal yesterday at the Meredith River mouth clowning around in the shallows, and it might have spent the night in the sand dunes at the “Bluff” 100 metres away. After divulging the tale of his personal battle with the sea creature , Neville packed up his fishing rod and headed off to do some de-stressing saying something about “a few beers”. Time about 3pm!!! Photos and story by Sandy Shaw.

THE GREAT OYSTER BAY COMMUNITY NEWS Tuesday 8 October 2013 3 All copy and notices due by noon Friday TSO Chorus performs in Swansea -TWICE! S unday 22 September saw another wonderful event brought to us by Virtuosi Tasmania and GOBRarts. Twice during the afternoon, 80 singers overflowed the stage of the Town Hall and presented a beguiling mix of classic and contemporary vocal works. VT obviously see their role as more than mere providers of entertainment they refuse to be condescending in their programs and this selection was another brillliant example of the opening of windows in our minds - as was the July performance of Piano Trios at Kennedia. The concert started with the audience surrounded on three sides (intentional joke!) by the singers and when the first note of Handel‟s Zadok the Priest exploded I nearly fell off my chair. It was a brilliant piece of showmanship that assured us from the start that we were in the hands of confident and talented artists. The program had many gems. Zadok was simultaneously familiar and strange. A modern piece, Other Plans by Lisa Young had strong Indian influences. Gorecki‟s Lobgesang op 76 and Whitacre‟s Allelulia were hypnotic and beguiling. If I had to choose a favourite, I thought that Lauridsen‟s elegant Dirait-on from Chansons des Roses settings of poems by Rilke - was sublime, but then I‟ve always had a shameful weakness for poetry. At the other end of the spectrum I have to admit that during the Tannhauser piece I could not help but be reminded of Mark Twain‟s observation that Wagner‟s music isn‟t as bad as it sounds. But that is nitpicking. The joi de vivre of all involved - the tone set beautifully bt Chorus Master June Tyzack, ably supported by pianist Karen Smithies - was utterly infectious and the quality of the presentation, the ambience of our renovated venue and the efficiency of the behind-the scenes support made for yet another memorable afternoon, courtesy of VT. Brett Martin Star of the Sea ruins 1923 THE GREAT OYSTER BAY COMMUNITY NEWS Tuesday 8 October 2013 4 All copy and notices due by noon Friday Judy, Gwen & Judy Jazz - Did You Know? T here is the belief jazz started as a music genre in the year 1895 and that it started in New Orleans, however there was acknowledgement that other places in America were playing similar music. Jazz music has roots within the African American community combining with European harmony. The African influence is definitely evident in the use of blue notes, improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation and the solo riffs of spotlighting each member of the jazz ensemble. The main instruments found in jazz bands include the piano, string bass, drums, saxophone and clarinet. As noted earlier, improvisation is very important in jazz as it is where the musician will interpret a tune individually therefore never playing the same composition twice. The interpretation can depend on the moment, mood, interactions with musicians or audience and personal experience. This approach of improvisation has developed over time and can include each musician playing their interpretation of the melody or bringing in countermelodies. Today there are over 20 distinct styles of jazz music including: Swing – popular in the 1930s and included big swing bands. Swing was also dance music offering musicians a chance to „solo‟ and improvise melodic, thematic solos which could at times be very complex and important music. Bebop – started in the 1940s with a shift from danceable popular music to more challenging musician‟s music therefore becoming an art form. Dizzy Gillespie and Clifford Brown were influential bebop musicians. Smooth jazz – started in early 1980s, a commercial form of jazz fusion or pop fusion which showed more air play on radio. Smooth jazz saxophonists include Grover Washington, Jr and David Sanborn. This music helped to launch singers such as Sade, Anita Baker and Chaka Khan. Smooth jazz is downtempo layering a lead, melody playing instrument. From the 1990s until now, jazz has tended to have no dominant style and most are active and popular. Often performers will record and play music in a variety of ways, sometimes in the same performance. Music crosses many social boundaries and is known to contribute to good mental health. Jazz and many other music genres are part of the Music Appreciation Group program. The Music Appreciation Group is a community program that is held once a month on the first Wednesday from 10.00am to 11.30amat the Health and Wellbeing Centre in Wellington St Swansea.

This article was written with reference to Wikipedia and eHow.com Letter to the Editor, Re: The Story that Martin Crawford wrote in the last edition about the Swansea Primary School Fundraiser. Great Story! Thank you Martin. On behalf of the Swansea Primary School Association, I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank everyone that was involved in organizing the Art Auction Cocktail Party at Piermont on the 21 Sept and everyone that bought a ticket and turned up to the event. A fundraiser is not a fundraiser without a crowd. I hope you all had fun (it certainly looked like it!). A Special mention to Nancy and Philippa who generously donated their Space at Artifakt so that everyone could go and see the art before the auction; specifically Nancy who spent countless hours mentoring me, moving her art and hanging ours. Only she and I know how much time she has spent with me making sure that we are on the right track – we could not have done it without her. I feel fortunate to be given the opportunity to organize an event like this! Thanks to all that made it such a success! Marie von Haniel President Swansea Primary School Association THE GREAT OYSTER BAY COMMUNITY NEWS Tuesday 8 October 2013 All copy and notices due by noon Friday Swansea Online Access Centre AGM. A good crowd attended the SOAC AGM in the Swansea Library, at 5 pm on Monday the 30th of September. The Chair was Martin Crawford, who was stepping down after several years at the helm as President-Chairman. Reports were given and Martin spoke eloquently about the success of the Centre which encompasses the Great Oyster Bay Community News, and of donations made to local causes in the past year which totalled $5,000. David Lathwell moved a vote of thanks to Martin Crawford for his dedication and hard work in making the Centre a success, which met with warm applause, and Martin was presented with a Thank You gift by Jennie Amos. The new committee was voted in, being Chairperson-President Tracey Johnston, Vice-President Jennie Amos, Secretary Linda Camus, Treasurer Jenny Whittaker, Committee members Kerry Dunbabin, Melissa Quinn and Jack Hardcastle. The outgoing Chairperson of the Online Centre and Community News, Martin Crawford presented a cheque on behalf of the OAC Management Committee, to representatives of the Swansea Primary School as part of their ongoing support for community projects. The total grant of $500 was a contribution towards the purchase of IPADS for school students, with $250 from the Online Centre and $250 from the Community News funds. Martin also presented $500 towards the project from the Swansea Revue Group in his capacity as Business Manager for The Swansea Players & Revue Committee and Cast members. He congratulated Tracy Johnston and School Association members for the initiative taken to raise funds for this important update of personalised technology for the Swansea students. Drinks and nibbles followed and an air of comradeship and harmony made for a good meeting with a great feeling of goodwill for the continued success of the Centre. Story & pics J.

Riding from Hobart to Buckland on Monday, the team continued into head winds to Orford where after a brief coffee break with Deputy Mayor Jenny Crawford they pushed on battling the constant winds, to Swansea. Sharky (Mark Smoothy) began the seven year quest to ride around Australia in seven stages, in 2008 – this year was the Tasmania leg. From Swansea they rode into evening along Dolphin Sands Road – and found it ended at the sea! To their surprise, a boat was waiting to ferry them across to the Warren family‟s shack at Kate Warren has cycled for Smiling for Smiddy since 2011 Swanwick for a welcome rest and a beer, before spending the night at Iluka. The bike trailer brought their bikes around by road, thus cutting out the dangerous Cherry Tree Hill section of highway. Dark clouds threatened but the rain held off until all were safely across the Swan. Smiling for Smiddy raises money for cancer research and support, dedicated to Adam Smiddy who died from aggressive cancer at only 26 years old. Two Tasmanians were on the ride - Kate Warren and Tim Smith. For 2013 the cause hopes to raise a million dollars – so far they‟ve achieved $767, 351 - amazing! Since inception, over 5 million has been raised. There‟s a great website with information, stories and details on how to donate or get involved. Well done Kate, Tim and all those wonderful cyclists – 8 days of hard riding and 1,200 kilometres in Tassie - may the winds be at your back the rest of the way. http://www.smiddy.org.au/ Story & Pics: J.
