Glenorchy’s sustainability effort
gains national recognition
GLENORCHY has
received three accolades
in the Keep Australia
Beautiful (KAB) National
Sustainable Cities Awards
that were announced
recently in Brisbane.
The Glenorchy City
Council won the Young
Legends National Award
for its Glenorchy Youth
Task Force, Benjafield
Childcare Centre, Waste
Management Schools
Program, and Rosetta
Primary School.
Council was also
highly commended for
Environmental Sustainability for its Derwent
Stormwater Reuse
project and highly commended in the Heritage
and Culture category for
the Moonah Arts Centre.
The awards were
accepted by Mayor Kristie Johnston and follow
Glenorchy being named
Tasmania’s sustainable
city in the annual KAB
Tasmania Awards,
where the Council, local
community groups and
community members
received a total of 15
state awards.
Mayor Johnston
said the award success
was a proud moment
for Glenorchy and she
commended all those
who had contributed to
the achievement.
“As KAB reported,
Glenorchy has a strong
commitment to sustainability and to involving
and consulting with our
community, particularly
our youth, and we are
delighted this commitment has been given
such important recognition,” she said.
General Manager
Peter Brooks said the
national recognition for
the efforts of Council
staff and projects was
particularly pleasing.
“Our Youth Taskforce
is doing fantastic work
and thoroughly deserves
its award, while the Derwent Park Stormwater
Harvesting and Industrial
Reuse project will save
some 476 megalitres of
water a year, and the
Moonah Arts Centre
demonstrates the best in

Festive season safety tips Glenorchy School
for Seniors
DURING the festive
months it is important to
look out for one another.
If you are attending
Christmas and New Year
parties, ensure you tell
someone where you are
going and who you are
with.
Tasting other people’s
beverages can make it
difficult to know exactly
what you are drinking
and how much alcohol
you are consuming.
Keep an eye on your
drink and your friend’s
drinks - take turns to go
dancing or finish your
drinks first.
Keep your valuables
out of sight or where you
can see and reach them,
especially mobile phones
and wallets.
Take your handbags
or wallets onto the dance
floor and check you still
have them when you sit
down.
If you feel strange,
tell a friend and leave
with people you trust.
When leaving premises intoxicated, be careful
on the footpath and
roads and watch out for
each other - pedestrians
are easily injured leaving
parties or hotels when
judgement of space and
timing are impaired.
Avoid getting into
heated discussions alcohol or illicit drugs
affect logical and rational
thoughts.
If a friend is seriously
affected by alcohol or
illicit drugs or has overdosed, call an ambulance
immediately.

Glenorchy Safer
Communities Committee
A Christmas message
Police message
with Acting Inspector Craig Joel
Glenorchy Police Division
HOW quickly Christmas
has come around this
year.
It feels like only a
few months ago we were
enjoying the fine song
and dance at the 2014
Glenorchy Carols by
Candlelight.
And now the 2015
spectacular – and the
arrival of Santa Claus – is
only a few weeks away.
From all the staff,
past and present, at the
Glenorchy Police Station,
I would like to take this
opportunity to wish all
of the northern suburbs
community a safe and
happy Christmas and
New Year.
It takes a team effort
to provide policing services across the Glenorchy
Police Division, which extends as far as Granton in
the north and Lutana in
the south, and this year
has been no exception.
We have worked
closely with our business
partners and volunteer
organisations to provide
an effective service that
makes our community
a safer, inclusive and
secure place to live, work
and visit with friends and
family.
This festive season
the police will be out
and about in the major
commercial precincts like
Glenorchy, Moonah and
Claremont, keeping an
eye on the shops, clubs
and the parks.
We will also be
patrolling the suburbs
and catching up with
those drivers who are
inattentive or who drink
and drive.
Our new technology
means we can respond
more quickly and cover
a lot more ground than
ever before.
Make sure you lock
up before you go out
and do not leave the
Christmas goodies on the
back seat of the car.
Make a plan to get
home if you have a few
drinks and respect the
company of friends and
strangers alike.
If you are going away,
let the neighbours know
to bring in the paper and
check the mailbox.
Finally, if you see
something that’s not quite
right, call us (000) or
Crimestoppers (phone
1800 333 000) if you
want to remain anonymous.
Finally, we all know
how dry and cold it has
been this winter so it is
important that residents
in bushland areas are not
complacent.
Check the Tasmania
Fire Service website for
updates and tips, and
have a Bushfire Survival
Plan – go to www.fire.tas.
gov.au for more information.
Tasmania Police is
committed to making
the northern suburbs a
safer place to live, visit
and do business, and we
look forward to working
alongside you in 2016.
Merry Christmas.

new members to join its
dynamic adult education
group.

wide range of issues and
topics in a friendly and
accessible environment.”
The Glenorchy

judge Sean Rooney
said Glenorchy City

FREE ENTRY – Book Now!
Members of Bowen Road Primary School Choir preparing for the Glenorchy Carols by Candlelight at Tolosa Park on Saturday 12 December.
GLENORCHY City
Council, along with event
partners the Lions Club
of Glenorchy, has announced an exciting line
up for its 2015 Carols by
Candlelight.
The free, ticketless
event will be held on
Saturday 12 December at
Tolosa Park.
Traditionally held on
the second Saturday in
December, this year’s

sponsors, YMCA Hobart.
Spokespeople and co-
chairs of the Glenorchy
Carols Organising Committee Steve King and
David Pearce said they
had responded to patron
requests to refresh the
children’s entertainment
section.
“Many patrons will
be familiar with the Big
Monkey Theatre Company’s wonderful Botanical
Garden’s summer family
shows,” they said.
“The same musical
humour will be present
in this special children’s
section on the night with
Big Monkey taking on a
twist on a popular Danish
Christmas tale.
“All we can tell you
without spoiling the story,
is that only an appear-
ance by Santa can save
Christmas.”
Ald King and Ald
Pearce said the event
would be hosted by ABC
Breakfast presenter Ryk
Goddard and young
upcoming vocalist Régan
Schmidt.
“Ryk is the master of
firing up a large audience – so our traditional
emphasis on getting
everyone up and singing
is going to make this a
really memorable night,”
they said.
Appearing on stage
and among the audience will be a host of
well-known local choirs
including the Choir of
High Hopes, Vivace
Young Voices, Bowen
Road Primary School,
Dominic College Choir,
Hobart Barbershop Men’s

Entertainment.
Glenorchy Carols’
regulars the Glenorchy

“Together this line
up of spectacular local
talent will spread the joy
of Christmas with the full
complement of Christmas
carols,” Ald King and Ald
Pearce said.
Glenorchy Carols by

family tradition with
organisers encouraging a
relaxed family feel with
room to enjoy a picnic,
and plenty of onsite
parking.

Springing in a field Memoranda of
Understanding for
of fresh produce Tasmanian councils
A SIGNIFICANT step
towards achieving better
outcomes for ratepayers
by improving the efficiency and effectiveness
of local government has
been taken, says Treasurer Peter Gutwein.
Two Memoranda of Understanding
(MoU) were signed in
November for studies
to examine options for
voluntary amalgamation
and strategic shared services for Greater Hobart
Councils and South East
Councils.
The council areas
are made up of Greater
Hobart Councils (Hobart
City, Clarence City,
Glenorchy City and
Kingborough Councils),
South East Councils
(Clarence City, Sorell,
Glamorgan-Spring Bay)
and Tasman Councils
including a subset of
options:

Councils; and
Students at Springfield Gardens Primary School have learnt lifelong kitchen and cooking skills
through the MONA 24 Carrot Kitchen Garden program.
SPRINGFIELD Gardens
Primary School is one
of the latest schools
to challenge the green
thumbs of its students by
establishing a successful
kitchen garden as part
of MONA’s 24 Carrot
Garden Program.
Aligned with the
Stephanie Alexander
Kitchen Garden Foundation, the program
seeks to establish the
gold standard of school
kitchen gardens, partnering fun with learning
activities such as the
culinary arts, science and
sustainability.
Approximately 175
students in grades threeto-six participated in
weekly garden lessons,
as well as 225 students
in grades two to six who
tested their skills in the
kitchen with fortnightly
cooking lessons.
Throughout 2014,
the kitchen garden was
planned and planted and
now, nearly 12-months
on, the students are beginning to see the fruits
of their labour.
Speaker for the
House of Assembly Elise
Archer was recently invited to tour the school’s
Kitchen Garden and lend
a hand in the cooking
lessons.
She said it was
amazing to think that
only 12-months ago
the gardens were just a
vacant patch at the front
of the school.
“Now they are full of
fresh fruit and vegetables
ready for the kids to
cook with in recipes such
as soup and pizza,” she
said.
“The school has certainly done a wonderful
job with the program and
I am tipping that there
are some very talented
budding chefs among the
students to watch out for
in years to come.
“I have been a strong
supporter of the kitchen
garden concept and will
be lobbying hard to find
some assistance with
funding.”

GLENORCHY City
Council once again
recognised the value of
Children’s Week this year
with a special awards
ceremony held at the
Moonah Arts Centre on
29 October.
Presented by Alderman Jenny Branch-Allen,
the awards recognised
individuals who made a
significant contribution to
improving the health and
wellbeing of children, as
well as those who had
significantly enhanced
their learning opportunities.
This year’s event included six recipients who
each received an award
for their long-standing
work in the Glenorchy
community.
Award winners were
Cathy Leppard from Tiny
Tackers Children’s Centre,
Tanya Castle-Phillips
from the West Moonah
Community House, Chris
Lewinski and Leah McKenzie from Austins Ferry
Primary School and John
Ploughman and Elizabeth
Piesse from Holy Rosary
Primary School.
In addition, the
children at both Child
Care Connections
services were awarded
participation certificates
for their involvement
in the consultation of
“what I like about outside
spaces” and the art work
development for “The Big
Fridge” art exhibition.
Mini Moonah Makers fosters creativity
Hannah, Ben and Nate showcase their artwork at The Big Fridge exhibition, held at the Moonah

CHILDREN from Child
Care Connections
Benjafield and Berriedale
Child Care Centres participated in a number of
art workshops recently,
putting paint to paper in
celebration of Children’s
Week in late October.
Held at the new
Moonah Arts Centre
(MAC), the art workshops were facilitated
by local artist Caroline
Amos who asked the
children to draw and
paint “what they liked
to do when playing
outside.”
The completed
artwork was displayed at
the MAC as part of “The
Big Fridge” exhibition.
The children service’s
programs are focused on
collaborative relationships
with families and the
community and participation in these celebrations
and workshops are a way
for children to engage
with their community.

THE next Picasso could
well be on the way
thanks to a new art
workshop that allows babies and young children
to let their creativity
loose.
Held at the Moonah
Arts Centre, ‘Moonah Mini Makers’ is a
five-week arts program
aimed at fostering creativity in young children
up to five years of age.
Workshop coordinator Josie Chapman said
the main question she
was asked was: “is my
child old enough?”
She said it very much
depended on what the
parent was hoping to get
out of the art activities.
“Babies and
young children under
18-months might not
make a well resolved
art piece ready for your
grandmas Christmas
gift, but there are many
outcomes you can come
to expect,” she said.
“These include the
development of fine
motor skills, sensory development, visual literacy
and just having the opportunity to be exposed
to different materials.
“As parents and educators, it’s really important that we understand
that our art-making as
babies, children and
even adults is about
the process and not the
outcome.
“Sometimes as
we play and explore
different mediums we
can produce interesting, unexpected and
truly creative artwork
outcomes.”
Over the five-week
workshop, babies and
children will receive the
chance to engage with
41 different activities
and view 50 pieces of
artwork.
Each week will
include a different theme

Support animals in Glenorchy council
need this Christmas joins the trail
Petbarn Derwent Park store manager Kylie Midson and pup Tia are looking forward to supporting animals in need with the store’s annual Giving Tree Appeal. Photo credit: Petbarn.
WITH thousands of
pets without a home
this Christmas, Petbarn
Derwent Park is calling
on local residents to get
behind two of The Pet
Foundation’s Christmas
fundraising initiatives that
aim to raise more than
$400,000 for local animal shelters and pet-related causes this year.
The Pet Foundation,
which is the charitable
arm of Petbarn and
Greencross Vets, was
established by Australia’s
leading pet care company, Greencross Group
Limited, to actively
support pet welfare
programs.
For the first time,
The Pet Foundation is
selling a unique Christmas Advent Calendar
specifically for pets
through Petbarn stores
with all profits from sales
going towards animal
charities in need.
The calendar comes
with two healthy yoghurt
drops per day for your
furry friend which are
also safe for human
consumption.
The calendars are on
sale in store for $12.88.
In addition, Petbarn
Derwent Park has kicked
off its annual Christmas
Giving Tree Appeal in
which pet lovers can purchase either a $3, $5 or
$10 Christmas tree decoration which comes in
two parts - one to hang
on the Petbarn Derwent
Park Giving Tree and one
to take home for their
own family Christmas
tree.
Petbarn Derwent
Park store manager Kylie
Midson said these two
fundraising initiatives
were a great and easy
way for locals to show
their support.
“Pets bring happiness
and joy into our lives
each day, they make us
laugh and even help us
stay active, so what better
way to celebrate them
this Christmas than by
giving back to those pets
in need,” she said.
“Importantly, profits
from these initiatives
will go towards helping
local animal shelters
and rescue groups, so
that they can continue
to do the great work
they do. Some of these
charities include RSPCA,
Cat Haven, Lort Smith,
Cat Corner, Pet Haven
Foundation, just to name
a few.
“The holiday gift
giving period is a very
busy time for the shelters
and buying a Christmas
decoration from our
Petbarn Derwent Park
Giving Tree or purchasing a Christmas advent
calendar for your pet is a
simple way to show your
support.”
The Pet Foundation
is dedicated to providing support for animal
rescue organisations and
ensuring every animal
has a loving place to call
home.
Since launching in
2012, the Foundation
has raised more than
$2.5 million for local
animal charities.
Petbarn Derwent
Park is located at 62
-64 Derwent Park Road,
Derwent Park.

Sale Trail.
GLENORCHY City
Council has joined thousands of householders,
community organisations
and businesses across
Australia by participating
in the Garage Sale Trail.
Council recently
organised a Makers,
Creaters and Retro Recyclers group event at the
Moonah Arts Centre in
October, which featured
11 different stalls.
The event aimed to
showcase the creative talents of artists and makers
in Glenorchy, as well as
promote the theme of
reuse and recycling.
Glenorchy Mayor
Kristie Johnson said the
council was pleased to be
able to bring the Garage
Sale Trail to Glenorchy
again this year.
She said it was also
great to see participation
in the event increasing.
“There were 59
registered sales throughout Glenorchy, which is
almost double last year’s
total,” she said.
“Not only does the
event offer the opportunity for people to reuse
and recycle items that
may otherwise end up
in landfills, it also creates
important social connections and brings communities together.”
This year marked the
fifth anniversary of the
award-winning community and sustainability
event, with more than
8,000 registered participants across the country.

A range of children’s activities will be available at the Taste of Tasmania’s “Kids in the Park”
space. Photo credit: Sean Fenessy.
TASMANIA’S most
popular and enduring
summer celebration, The
Taste of Tasmania, will
be trialling a cashless
system during this year’s
event, which returns to
Hobart’s waterfront from
28 December 2015 to 3
January 2016.
When ordering food
or drinks patrons can
simply use their own
EFTPOS debit or credit
cards to tap, swipe or
insert into stalls’ EFTPOS
tablets.
There will also be
Taste prepaid cards
available for families
with children who are
not old enough to have
their own EFTPOS card,
that are free to collect
and load with cash once
on site.
This year’s free event
will once again offer a
wide range of cuisine
to suit all tastebuds and
budgets, from the freshest seafood and berries
to artisan Tasmanian
beverages and interna-
tional dishes with a local
flavour.
Event spokesperson
Damon Thomas said
every year The Taste of
Tasmania put a show on
to remember and this
year was no exception.
“This year the nightly
entertainment features
The Black Sorrows, The
Audreys, Tasmania’s
Southern Gospel Choir
and Stonefield all freeof-charge on the main
stage,” he said.
“With more than
100 performances on
offer, including some exciting buskers and roving
circus-style entertainers,
there will be something
to appeal to everyone.
“We are particularly
proud to be able to
showcase some wonderful local talent.”
Ald Thomas said
there would also be
great fun for families in
the “Kids in the Park”
space on Parliament
House Lawns, which
included an outdoor
twilight cinema and free
creative and sporting
activities.
“A free family-focused New Year’s Eve
program provides a
great lead-up to the
early fireworks session at
9.30pm,” he said.
“Our New Year’s Eve
Party at Princes Wharf
1 is a funk and soulthemed ticketed event
featuring The Hobart
Funk Collective and
eight-piece big band, The
Bamboos and a spectacular fireworks display at
midnight.”
Ald Thomas said The
Taste of Tasmania was
much more than a food
festival.
“It brings the whole
community together to
celebrate our casual and
relaxed lifestyle and provides the perfect venue
to catch up with family
and friends,” he said.

DISC of the month: Mad Men: Season 7 Part 2
It’s time to bid farewell to the team at the New York advertising agency that’s had as many takeovers, mergers and name changes as hotshot ad man Don Draper has one-night stands. Well, maybe
not that many!
In the last seven episodes of a split final season, Sterling Cooper & Price are absorbed by global ad giant McCann Erickson, which leaves the core characters – Don, Roger, Peggy, Joan and Pete –
at odds with the new office dynamic. Don, in particular, can’t abide boardroom pitches by committee and hits the road to find a waitress he’s become obsessed with, which ultimately turns into
the journey to self-discovery this conflicted guy has needed since we first met him. Jon Hamm finally received a well-deserved and belated Emmy this year for his portrayal of one of TV’s most
fascinating alpha males, and fittingly, it’s Don Draper who is the primary focus of the final episodes.
That’s not to say the others don’t receive a suitable send-off – chain-smoking finally catches up with one of the characters in the form of terminal lung cancer; an unexpected romance blooms; and
new and exciting opportunities await some of our favourite employees, all of whom deserve some kind of happiness – including Don. And it’s not a spoiler to reveal that the final episode will leave
you with a smile on your face, and wanting a Coke.
We’ll miss the sixties’ decor and fashions, the rampant smoking, drinking, sexism, crazy campaigns, silver fox Roger, and Don’s womanising ways. But most of all we’ll miss one of the most stylish
and memorable series on TV.

Game of the month: Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection
With a little over four months to go until the release of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, dipping into The Nathan Drake Collection to whet the old adventurous appetite is the perfect horsd’oeuvre.
So how does this remastered ternion stand up? Surprisingly well. Drake’s Fortune, a game now eight years old, is the obvious weak link here. But furnished with 1080p presentation and 60fps
where possible, even this entry in the compelling Nathan Drake saga, looks mightily impressive. The characters, scenery, and the explosion effects have all been markedly improved, as have the
controls that greatly benefit from being tightened. Subtle additions to the gameplay, such as implementing features used in the later games, works exceptionally well. Among Thieves holds up
well and by the time Drake’s Deceptionmakes an appearance, it’s hard to believe that this trilogy actually released on PS3. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve played them before or it’s your first
time to the franchise, Naughty Dog’s excellent adventure series deserves this new-gen interpretation. Sit back and enjoy playing through the evolution of one of the greatest series released on the
PlayStation 3.

Album of the month: Divers; Joanna Newsom
Like a stimulative tonic, Joanna Newsom’s fourth full-length album Divers prompts both soft introspection and wild fancies.
It looks for answers to love’s questions in all manner of hidey-holes and vistas without ever wandering so far that Newsom gets lost – an enormous feat, considering the turf she traverses. While
medieval clavichords are softened by jangling Americana guitar and gentle rimshots in Leaving The City, Goose Eggs sees tom-booming drums fling themselves forward like a Tori Amos hit. Piano
accordion, flute, piccolo, various woodwind, violins, tiny electronic elements and the artist’s own harp curl together in this astonishingly dynamic collection, and while these instruments are all
doing their own discrete things, they frolick together; Newsom and her arrangers are able to arouse them into living characters like creatures in a Miyazaki film or Peter And The Wolf, and they’re
all playing this ring-a-rosy with the artist’s voice. Newsom’s vocals are, of course, full of contrary temper: quietly intricate vowels skitter around her goal notes, and all the while she utilises her
fearless cache of vibrato, cutesy curls and Joni Mitchell caws. She has drawn on all of her previous releases to deliver this record, which expressively and sensitively explores the caverns hiding life’s
little profundities.

M20 Speech Contest. Photo credit: Carolyn Docking
TWO northern suburb
residents filled their
glasses and put on their
best public speaking
voices recently as they
showcased their mastery
of toastmaking at the
annual Area M20 Speech
Contest.
Held at Hotel Soho
on Saturday 7 November, Rodney Tattam,
of Austins Ferry, and
Gawain Simpson, of
Claremont, joined fellow
“Toastmasters” from
across Tasmania to battle
it out for the opportunity
to climb the ranks and
represent Australia at the
world championships.
Area director Kate
Gray said the contest
showcased the best
speakers in Tasmania
with winners advancing to the next level of
contest, which would be
held in Melbourne next
year.
“This is an exciting
day for both contestants
and spectators,” she said.
“Contestants have
worked really hard on
their public speaking
skills to get to this point
and have already competed at club level.”
Mr Tattam said he
joined Toastmasters
five-years-ago following a
desire to undertake some
public speaking.
“I wanted to learn
from experienced and
confident speakers,” he
said.
“I love attending
meetings because of the
diversity of people and
how their stories are
always interesting and
engaging.
“I often comment on
how I learn something
new every night from
others’ experiences and
presentations.”
Mr Simpson, joined
the Toastmasters 11-years
ago to improve his
communication after a
suggestion from his boss
at the time.
Mr Simpson has since
gone on to achieve one
of the highest rewards of
‘distinguished toastmaster’.
“My biggest challenge
also turned out to be my
biggest highlight,” he said.
“I gave a 45-minute
workshop on humour for
speeches on the 2010
District 73 Convention
and ended up with 127
people in the audience,
which was more than I
expected.”
This year’s Area M20
contest included four
categories – table topics,
evaluation, humorous
and international.
Mr Simpson was
awarded first prize in the
hunourous and international contests, as well as
third prize in evaluation.
Mr Tattam scored
third prize in the humourous category.
Ms Gray said the
contestants in the
international category
could now advance for a
chance to compete at an
international level.
“It is a tough competition but there have
been several Australians
to win at the worldc in
past years, so it would be
great to see one of our
Tasmanians reach that
level,” she said.

YOU may think that because winter has ended,
you no longer need to
worry about heating.
However, the team
at Sustainable Living
Tasmania (SLT) has
recommended that the
state’s milder months are
the best time to upgrade
heating thanks to a special
deal.
SLT has pooled the
community’s purchasing
power to secure a discounted price on quality
heat pumps.
SLT partnerships
manager Michele Matthews said this meant you
could also keep cool in
summer.
“With our community
bulk buy heat pumps
have never been cheaper
and generous subsidies
are available for eligible
low income households,”
she said.
“This means that you
could get a quality 6kW
heat pump for less than
$1,000.
“Because of demand
we have extended the
program until 15 Decem-
ber 2015.”
Ms Matthews said
as SLT had visited and
helped more than 4,000
households with their
energy bills in the last few
years, the organisation
was well-informed about
home heating in Tasmania.
“We have found that
the most appropriate type
of heater for a household
depends on many things
including the house
design and construction,
and the occupants’ need,”
she said.
“They recommend
heat pumps in the majority of cases, and wood
heaters in some circumstances.
“Other heaters are
too inefficient and costly
to run.”
Ms Matthews said
heat pumps were unique
in that heat was pumped
in the air from outside to
inside the home.
“This allows heat
pumps to achieve efficiencies at least three times
greater than any other
type of heater,” she said.
“Heat pumps start at
the push of a button, can
be easily programmed
to come on before you
get up, and can provide
cooling on hot summer
days.”

Brooker
Highway
upgrade
now
progressing
AFTER some delays,
it is expected that the
road contractor for the
Brooker Highway: Elwick
Road to Howard Road
Junctions upgrade project
will commence work on
site in January 2016.
The project is
currently running about
two months behind the
previously announced
program, which had
construction starting in
late October 2015.
Member for Elwick
Adriana Taylor recently
voiced her concerns
about the project delay
to the Minister for Infrastructure, Rene Hidding,
in Parliament.
“Like many other
local residents, I was
concerned at the lack
of action visible for the
promised works to realign Elwick Road and
Goodwood Road intersections with the Brooker
Highway,” she said.
“However, during
Parliament the Minister
assured me that the
additional time taken was
well within the normal
range for a project of this
scale and complexity.
“He also said that the
project team was making
every effort to catch up
this time, while not compromising the quality of
review of tenders and ensuring the final contract

details were accurate and
appropriate.”
Ms Taylor said she
had been informed
that the project tender
had closed and it was
expected that the successful tenderer would
be announced before
Christmas.
“Work crews in that
area in recent months
have been relocating
TasNetworks and TasGas
assets ahead of the main
road works,” she said.
“The Department of
State Growth has also
assured me that further
information will be
provided to residents and
businesses in the area before works start, as well
as during construction.”
Ms Taylor said there
were a number of factors
that contributed to the
works’ delay.
“These factors
included refinements
and improvements to
the tender documentation in order to manage
project risks, Glenorchy
City Council requests
for additional time to
review the application for
planning permit, ongoing
work with the Tasmanian
Racing Club and ongoing
negotiations with the
Royal Agricultural Society
of Tasmania regarding
Crown Land currently
leased to them.”

A journey recognised
at Corumbene
Skills Training Australia strategy and development manager Matt Rowe, Corumbene’s leisure
and lifestyle coordinator Barb Davis and leisure and lifestyle assistant Narelle Jones at the Diversional Therapy Australia National Conference 2015. Image supplied.
THE Village at Corumbene has received
a National Award for
Excellence at the Conference for Diversional
Therapy Australia, which
was recently held in
Queensland.
The accolade was
presented to the lifestyle
village for its “My Journey Program”.
The “intergenerational volunteer initiative”
involved the collation of
Corumbene community
members’ life stories that
could be preserved for
friends, family and in the
close knit community in
the Derwent Valley.
Corumbene’s leisure
and lifestyle coordinator
and volunteers coordinator Barbara Davis,
who was the recipient
of the award on behalf
of Corumbene, said she
was overwhelmed by
the recognition of the
program.
“We have a small
amount of dedicated
volunteers facilitating
the program for both
residents of Corumbene
and our greater elder
community within the
Derwent Valley and Central Highlands,” she said.
“Our staff, volunteers
and community organisations and schools must
be commended for their
amazing support.”
Beryl Burns was one
Corumbene resident involved in the My Journey
initiative.
“My family is very
proud to have me included in this program,” Mrs
Burns said.
“It is something my
children can always look
back on.”
Corumbene chief
executive officer Damien Jacobs said he was
thrilled with the recognition at a national level.
“The program,
which was developed
by a combined effort
of ‘Friends of Corumbene’ volunteers and
local school children has
significantly increased
the benefits to our elder
community with a far
greater impact than was
anticipated,” he said.
“The My Journey
Program has been operating for 18 months and
receiving this accolade
against a national cohort
of much larger and in
many cases, better resourced organisations, is
an outstanding achievement.”
The Village at
Corumbene, located
at Lower Road New
Norfolk, will be holding
an open day on Saturday
5 December from 9am
to 5pm.

Tasmanian child restraint
DVD timely reminder
From left, paediatrician Dr Michelle Williams, RACT’s Pete Gillon and registered midwife Imogen Paine at the Hobart Private Hospital for the launch of the RACT’s new child restraint instructional DVD.
AROUND 80 per cent
of vehicle child restraints
are fitted incorrectly, the
RACT says.
It is a key reason
why the organisation
has officially launched
an educational DVD for
parents, grandparents and
professionals who work
with young families that
demonstrates the correct
way to install a child
restraint.
The DVD, officially
launched in the maternity ward of the Hobart
Private Hospital which
will use it in ante-natal
classes as an educational resource, highlights
common mistakes made
when fitting a child
restraint in a vehicle.
The DVD was developed given alarming
statistics about the incorrect use (and in some
cases non-use) of child
restraints in Tasmania.
RACT Motoring
Services Manager Peter
Gillon said the DVD’s
production formed part
of its commitment to
road safety awareness.
“The RACT has
initiated a Champion
Advocacy Project: Reducing Restraint Risk in
Tasmania,” he said.
“One of the actions
was to produce a DVD
that is available as an
educational resource to
better educate the general public.”
Hobart Private Hospital general manager John
Amery said babies and
children were the community’s most important
asset.
“We are very pleased
to see that an organisation like the RACT
is taking the matter so
seriously, and are very
pleased to align our hospital with the DVD and
its child and infant safety
messages,” he said.
“We believe the DVD
will be a very valuable
tool for parents.”
Mr Gillon said the
DVD was designed to
increase awareness about
the important issue, educate and provide practical
help to protect the lives
of youngsters in cars something that no parent
or grandparent should
ever take for granted.
“The RACT understands that many
parents/grandparents find
installing a child restraint
confusing,” he said.
“The DVD was
designed to increase
awareness, educate and
provide practical help
to protect the lives of
youngsters in cars.
“The best possible
outcome would be a
dramatic improvement
in the correct installation
and usage of child car
restraints.
“A correctly fitted
child restraint is vital for
the safety of children.”

National award for Christmas in the Alps
Tassal MD / CEO for a worthy cause
THE naming of Mark
Ryan as the winner
of The Richard Pratt
Banksia CEO Award is
rightful recognition for
a proud and passionate
Tasmanian with a significant belief in the state
and its natural attributes,
Tassal chairman Allan
McCallum said.
Presented by the
Banksia Foundation, its
annual awards recognise
and celebrate individual
and organisation contributions to sustainability
across Australia.
Mr McCallum said
Mr Ryan’s success as
Managing Director and
CEO of Tassal had been
achieved with a strong
focus on sustainability.
“Mark has established a pathway for the
industry to grow sustainably, which will further
benefit the Tasmanian
economy and Tassal’s
employees,” he said.
In 2012 under
Mark’s leadership,
Tassal partnered with
WWF-Australia, part of
the world’s largest conservation organisation.
The partnership with
WWF, along with Mr
Ryan’s passion for sustainability, led Tassal to
become the first producer of farmed salmon in
the world to achieve full
Aquaculture Stewardship
Council (ASC) certification across all sites in
November 2014.
ASC certification
is the highest standard
for responsibly-farmed
seafood in the world
and provides credible,
third party validation to
consumers that they are
purchasing seafood from
farms that limit impacts
on the environment and
communities.
Mr McCallum said
Mr Ryan’s drive to create
a sustainable aquaculture
operation had been a
defining quality that had
influenced his leadership
style and the attitude of
his employees.
“Under Mark’s direction, Tassal is demonstrating that industry can
be sustainable while taking care of the environment and local regional
communities,” he said.
“Tassal’s ongoing
solid environmental
performance gives the
company a ‘licence’ to
continue to operate.
“It secures Tassal’s
growth path, and more
importantly, jobs into
the future, filling a very
important economic
gap in rural and regional
communities in Tasmania.”

The Meli-Melo Choir in action, with soloist Kasia Kremzer-Kozlowska.
GLENORCHY residents
are invited to experience
“Christmas in the Alps”.
But instead of travelling across the world,
this Christmas in the Alps
will be held at St John’s
Catholic Church.
On Saturday 5 December, local choir “Meli-Melo Singers” will raise
funds for humanitarian
aid in Nepal at a special
Christmas concert.
As part of Christmas
in the Alps the group
will present an uplifting
performance of traditional carols and folk songs
from alpine regions of
Switzerland, France and
beyond, sung in four-part
harmony.
Led by Swiss-born
director René Rime, the
choir has been together
for around five years
and sings in English,
French, Italian, Polish and
German, with piano and
organ accompaniment.
“We perform at community events and venues around Hobart, most
recently at MONA,” Mr
Rime said.
“Meli-Melo choir
sings for the love of music, and a wish to bring a
bit of joy to the world.
“We have prepared
a beautiful concert this
yearnand hope it will
inspire everyone who
comes to give generously
for the good of people in
need.”
Mr Rime said a
highlight would be the
Tasmanian premiere of
Pierre Kaelin’s very beautiful “Petite Messe pour
Noel”, or “little Christmas
mass”.
“Although sung in
Latin, Petite Messe pour
Noel is based upon arrangements of carols that
will be familiar to most
listeners,” he said.
“The concert will also
feature short pieces for
French horn ensemble
and a quartet of Swiss
Alphorns, uncommonly
long instruments used for
centuries to communicate across mountainous
terrains.”
During the Christmas
in the Alps event, donations will be accepted
Mayor’s Business Christmas
Decoration Competition
GLENORCHY businesses are encouraged
to embrace the festive
spirit this year with the
inaugural Mayor’s Business Christmas Decoration Competition, which
is proudly sponsored by
the Glenorchy Gazette.
“It is beginning to
feel a lot like Christ-
mas in Glenorchy,”
Glenorchy Mayor Kristie
Johnston said.
“This competition is
a great way to highlight
the fact that everything
you need for Christmas can be purchased
locally.
“Small businesses
are critical to our local
economy and we need
to support them.”
Mayor Johnston said
the Glenorchy Gazette
had generously provided
a promotions package
for first prize.
“I hope to see tinsel,
lights and baubles from
one end of the city to
the other,” she said.
Give a little more at Christmas. Give hope.
Gemma’s smile hides the truth. She lives in a shelter, she
is a single mum trying to rebuild her life. She is Tasmanian.
We can help her. With your donation we can support children
and families doing it tough.
GIVE NOW
for aid projects run by
the Catholic Church in
Nepal.
As well assisting
with relief and recovery
work following the two
devastating earthquakes
in April and May of
this year, the Church is

classrooms and technical
training in construction for older boys so
that they can assist in
the re-building of their
villages.

Robotics Club success
Students spell
success with in- at Dominic College
school production
Dominic College year five and six Robotics Club “Waste Warriors”.
Dominic College students Brea Knott and Laura Whittaker exchange spells as part of their ‘Badjelly the Witch’ production.
ELECTIVE drama students at Dominic College
finished off their academic year with a bang when
they performed their
production of ‘Badjelly
the Witch’ to the younger
students as part of their
children’s theatre studies.
Written by English
comedian Spike Milligan,
the play is about a witch
named Badjelly – played
alternately by Brea Knott
and Laura Whittaker –
who can turn children
into sausages or chop
them up to make boy-girl
soup.
Known as the wick-
edest witch in the world
she can also turn policemen into apple trees or
bananas into mice.
Luckily, she is eventually thwarted by some
lost children with the
assistance of a great cast
of quirky characters.
Other production
cast members included
Allen Glover, Patrick
Karsznia, Joshua Russell
and Sarah Stansbie.
Students said that
playing for a younger
audience had its own
challenges.
This included great
reactions from the
audience that, while
appreciated, came as an
unexpected surprise for
the performers.
Other drama performances at Dominic
College this year have included the whole school
ANZAC centenary
production of ‘In Their
Own Words’, the year six
play ‘Say it Loud’ and the
elective dramas annual
festival of monologues,
‘Talking Heads’.
All productions have
taken place in Dominic
College’s new performing
arts venue, The Oratory
Space.
YEAR five and six Robotics Club students at
Dominic College are on
their way to Macquarie
University in Sydney for
the First Lego League
(FLL) national finals after
winning the Champion’s
Trophy at the regional
titles last month.
Dominic College
hosted the event for five
qualifying schools in its
new Savio Student Hub.
This year’s three-part
FLL Challenge was called
“TrashTrek” with teams
scoring points for their
“Robot Game”, their
“Project”, and their “FLL
Core Values”.
Teams had up to 10
participants, with at least
one adult coach, who
took part by programming an autonomous
robot to score points
on a themed playing
field (Robot Game) and
developing a solution
to a problem they have
identified (Project), all

guided by the FLL Core
Values.
For their TrashTrek
Project, Dominic College’s “Waste Warriors”
chose the challenge of
reducing the rate of
landfill of plastic snap
lock bags from students’
lunchboxes.
The Waste Warriors
have been working with
Glenorchy City Council
and local businesses to
find an alternative and
better way to deal with
snap lock bag disposal.
The Robot Game
consisted of designing,
building and programming a robot to undertake a series of tasks on a
custom-built game board,
under time and rule
constraints.
Year six student Tyler
Graham said on the day
of the competition everyone looked calm.
“But we were all
nervous,” he said.
“First up a judge
looked at the Waste
Warriors’ robot design to
see that it would work
and not fall apart during
the missions.
“Next we did a
presentation in front of
a judge who seemed
amazed with our work.”
Tyler said after the
presentation the team
was tested on FFL’s core
values.
“Then it was the moment I had been waiting
for the whole day, the
robot challenge,” he said.
“On the practice
run everything went as
planned and we completed three of the missions
and we were very happy
with our robot.”
“On the second run
we were being scored
and only made one
mistake we were pleased
although the practice run
did not count towards
points.
“The third run did
not go at all to plan but
it was the high score that
counted.”
Dominic College director of teaching Selina
Kinnes thanked students,
staff and parents for their
support and encouragement of the team, who
worked on the Project
after school, on Saturdays
and public holidays.
“Robotics offers a
great opportunity for
students to learn about
innovative technology
which is fast becoming
a part of our everyday
lives,” she said.
“In Robotics students
learn to program - a
key component of the
Australian Curriculum
in the area of Digital
Technologies - but also
students learn skills of
collaborative problem
solving, a 21st Century
skill students will need
for the future.
“Learning robotics is
a great way of engaging students in STEM
- Science, Technology,
Engineering and Maths,
and this competition also
included Creative Arts
in the areas of design
and presentation of their
project.
“We have a queue of
younger students waiting
to join the Robotics Club
next year.”
The Waste Warriors
will be competing in
Sydney on Saturday 5
December.

Dominic College celebrates
international men’s day
MORE than 120 boys
and men aged from 11
to 80 years converged
at Dominic College
recently to celebrate
International Men’s Day
with a special breakfast.
Held on Thursday
19 November, International Men’s Day is
celebrated in more than
60 countries across the
world and recognises
the contributions men
make to their community, family and childcare.
It also works to
highlight the impact of
discrimination against
men.
The Dominic
College event brought
together boys from year
five to 10, male family
members, staff and old
scholars to share ways
to inspire the students
to become great men.
Dominic College
principal Beth Gilligan
said the breakfast, in
its fourth year, had
grown to be a significant
occasion for the school’s
male students to come
together and discuss
“the immense contribution male role models
have in our community.”
“This breakfast aims
to showcase for our
boys a range of positive
and successful men who
work to make a real
difference,” she said.
Previous breakfast
speakers have included
Dominic College old
scholars such as Tasmanian Police commander
Anthony Cerritelli,
architect Elvio Brianese
and actor Andrew
Casey.
The special guest
for this year’s event
was Dr Dominic Chan,
who was from the class
of 2004 and currently
practices general medicine at the Royal Hobart
Hospital.
In his speech, Dr
Chan acknowledged
how important it was to
have good role models
and mentors while at
school and university.
Proceeds from the
breakfast were donated
to support the work of
Don Bosco Technical
School for boys and
young men in Alafua
Samoa.

A simple gesture can
make a real difference
Just Cuts Glenorchy hairdresser Tracy Duggan volunteered three hours of her time to provide free haircuts for the Salvation
Army’s Hair Day.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR
ONGOING SUPPORT
BOB JANE T-MARTS MOONAH: WINNER OF THE RETAIL CATEGORY
CLIENTS from Doorways Moonah and The
Bridge Centre received a
simple but powerful gift
when they were treated
to a free haircut and style
as part of the Salvation
Army’s Hair Day.
Held at the Salvation
Army Corps on Tuesday
3 November, Just Cuts
Glenorchy hairdresser
Tracy Duggan volunteered three hours of
her time and expertise
to the cause, as well as
a selection of pamper
packs for the participants
to take home.
Salvation Army
community development
representative Sarah Davidson said a haircut was
often a luxury few clients
could afford.
She said the idea for
the event came to her
after reading an article
about a similar project
held in Western Australia
named ‘Short, Back and
Sidewalks’.
“Local barbers provided haircuts for people
living on the streets and
I thought it was a great
SEEN
SOMETHING
initiative,” she said.
“We also have clients
who visit The Salvation
Army Corps in Moonah
on a regular basis, so
I thought giving them
something practical
would be a great help to
them.”
Over the course of
the three hours, nine
people took up the
opportunity to have their
“locks” and beards styled.
Ms Davidson said
that although the event
was a simple idea, it
made a “real difference.”
“For those who can’t
afford a haircut – approximately $30 – it provides
a boost of confidence
and the belief that others
are willing to go out of
their way to help them,”
she said,
“For those providing
the service, it’s a chance
to give back in a simple
yet thoughtful way.
“The event was better
than expected and all the
participants were very
happy – one participant
was so chuffed he said it
was the best haircut he
had ever had.”
Ms Davidson said
based on the event’s
success, she planned to
organise similar events in
the future.
“There are so many
opportunities to support
others with this simple
act of kindness,” she said.
“Sometimes paying-if-forward isn’t always
about giving money, but
is instead about giving a
bit of time and experience.”

Local schoolgirl dons apron for charity
Dominic College student Ursula Harris with her grandparents Kerry and Garry Harris.
DOMINIC College year
six student, Ursula Harris,
donned an apron at her
local coffee shop recently to help children in
disadvantaged countries
receive an education.
As part of her role
as the 2015 World
Education Games (WEG)
ambassador, Miss Harris
was required to raise
support for the United
Nations International
Children’s Emergency
Fund (UNICEF) Schoolin-a-Box program.
The program is
aimed at providing
teachers in disadvantaged countries with a kit
that contains everything
they need to provide an
education for students.
On Monday 26 October, Miss Harris joined
the manager and staff at
Platform 1 in Claremont
Village, where every
$1 spent on coffee was
donated to the cause.
Miss Harris said
she decided to involve
a local coffee shop in
her fundraising efforts
after a brainstorming
session with her mother,
Makara.
“Mum and I were
discussing how I would
go about raising the
funds and we thought it
would be a great idea to
involve a local business,”
she said.

Launching into the future of rowing
Glenorchy Rowing Club volunteers raising funds for a new launching pontoon.
MEMBERS of the
Glenorchy Rowing Club
recently made good use
of the successful ‘Dad’s
Day Out’ event to
raise valuable funds for
the replacement of its
launching pontoon.
By recycling the old
pontoon decking, which
has been damaged
by ferry wash, club
members were able to
construct raised garden
beds to sell during the
popular event at Elwick
Foreshore in November.
Club president
Leon Carr said the
Glenorchy Rowing Club
had a proud history of
providing opportunities
for local school children
to enjoy the water and
race competitively,
achieving some “impressive results” over the
years.
He said the replacement of the launching
pontoon would work
toward improving the
rowing facilities available
to both old and new
members.
“The days of rowing
have changed and
Glenorchy has changed
with it,” he said.
“In the ‘old days’,
rowing crews were very
close knit and it was
hard for beginners to
turn up and join in.
“However, nowadays
heavy wooden oars
have been replaced by
light, easily handled
carbon fibre and there
has been a move from
each oarsman having
one ‘sweep’ oar to each
person having two ‘scull’
oars.
“The new range of
boats and rowing styles
mean that anyone can
row with anyone and
the club can cater for
more individuals who
want to come and try
the sport.”
Mr Carr said the
biggest changes the
club had seen was the
increase in women rowers, as well as the older
“masters” now being
able to row for recrea-
tional purposes.
“Glenorchy is a small
club where every member is an individual and
not just one of a crowd,”
he said.
“We have a current
focus on masters rowing
for men and women in
a friendly, mixed environment and welcome
anyone who would like
to come and try out –
be it for health, fitness,
social interaction or
competition.”

selected as a state finalist
for the 2015 National
Carer Awards in recognition of his selfless
contributions as an
unpaid carer.
Mr Baron was nominated for the award in
response to the 21-years
of care and stability he
has provided to a young
woman named Janelle,
who has been living with
cerebral palsy.
Sharing their house
happily for many years,
Mr Baron said they
all had a great time
together.
“Janelle fits in with
the family, she has stability and a place with us,”
he said.
“We include her in
everything we are doing,
but she still maintains
her independence – we
have realised that there
are no limits to what she
can do.”
Mr Baron said that
since she moved in,
Janelle has had daily
opportunities to choose
things for herself.
“This has included
everything from selecting
her clothes and activities
to helping out on the
farm,” he said.
“I have even
organised for her to
take charge of farm
equipment on occasions,
strapping her into the
backhoe so she can
control levers to lift and
move logs and dirt.”
Janelle, who is now
in her late 30s and requires 24-hour care, said
Rick has been supporting
and assisting her to live
her life the way she
wanted.
An immense support
in her life at home
and in the communi-
ty, Janelle said he also
pushed her to do things
to the best of her ability
and that she would always be grateful to him
for the impact he has
had on her life.
Life Without Barrier
chief executive officer
Claire Robbs said all the
award finalists were to
be congratulated.
“We want to give
the community a better
understanding of unpaid
carers across the county
as they have such an
important role in the
lives of the people they
support,” she said.

Dads enjoy their day out
AROUND 200 children and their
families braved the wind and rain
recently to spend some quality time
together as part of the annual Dad’s
Day Out event.
Held at the Montrose Foreshore
in November, the event offered a
number of fun activities for children
and their parents, including damper
making, planting seedlings, learning
about local endangered species and
making toolboxes.
Children and their dads also got
down and dirty in the mud with
a variety of modified sports, such
as handball, football and obstacle
courses.
Families enjoyed a free barbecue cooked by Moonah Rotary
and Mr Huff and Puff entertained
the children making some crazy
balloon creatures.
Additional activities included
Make Believe face painting, fairy
activities, learning new skills with
Social Circus Tasmania and having
photos taken with super heroes.
The Glenorchy Action Interagency Network lent its support to
the Glenorchy City Council to host
the event.
Organisers thanked Putter’s
Adventure Golf, Magic Hand Car
Wash, Croc’s Play Centre, Woody’s
Skate and Play, Glenorchy Ice
Skating Rink, AMF Moonah Bowls,
Blundstone’s, ZAP Fitness, YMCA,
Bunnings and Woolworths Claremont for their event sponsorship.
Thanks were also extended to
the participating organisations and
individuals who donated their time
and provided fun activities and
giveaways at the event.
Participants enjoying the Dad’s Day Out activities held at Montrose Foreshore last month.

Bellerive Quay nurse practitioner El Thompson.
THE Bellerive Quay
Health Hub has recently
launched its dedicated
sexual health services in
a move that will make
it simpler for GPs and
specialists to refer patients to an easy-to-visit
location.
The services include
assisted reproductive
technologies, sexual
counselling, sexual
health screening and
contraceptive advice.
Bellerive Quay
Health Hub director
Lisa Sproule said the
services would offer
patients a confidential
and non-judgmental
space within which to
improve their health and
wellbeing.
“The services aim to
optimise health out-
comes for individuals
to improve their sexual
health at different stages
throughout life,” she
said.
“The services are
staffed by a sexual
health nurse practitioner
who is passionate about
men’s, women’s and
lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender and intersex
people’s health.”
Ms Sproule said
making the services
as easy as possible for
female patients and then
providing the very best
support and advice was
key to improving health
outcomes.
“We foster a holistic
philosophy of health
care and promotion, to
provide leadership in
health attainment and
patient communication
to improve women’s
health and wellbeing,”
she said.
“Our nurse practitioner, El Thompson,
understands that assisting patients with sexual
health issues requires a
positive and respectful
approach to make the
treatment as stress-free
as possible.
“Her experience was
gained while working as
a clinical nurse consult-
ant at the Tasmanian
Sexual Health Service.”
Ms Sproule said
everyone had a unique
story, deserved to be
treated with respect
and had the right to be
involved in decisions
about their own healthcare.
“The Bellerive Quay
Health Hub supports
individuals throughout
their life, through the
provision of clinical
services, education and
promotion of healthy life
choices,” she said.
“Concerns about
health are universal, no
matter your sexual orientation.
“For example,
sexually transmissible
infections (STIs) do not
always have symptoms,
so you could have an
STI without knowing
and pass it on to someone else.
“It is important to
have regular check-ups
as testing for STIs is
simple and the majority
are easily treated.”

Young people from Glenorchy get into the spirit of The Happiness Cycle.
COMMUNITY-based
program, the Happiness
Cycle, visited Glenorchy
again this year to encourage local teenagers
to leave behind their television and video games
in favour of physical
activity.
A partnership
between Coca-Cola and
the Bicycle Network, the
program is designed to
get teens riding in the
hope of making them
more active and happy.
Held at the Derwent
Entertainment Centre
in late October, 400
disadvantaged young
teenagers aged between
13 and 17 participated
in the event which saw

Speaker for the
Archer said she was
excited to see so many
young people having
such a great time and
being active.
“I believe that
Tasmania was chosen
again for the happiness
cycle event because of
the level of enthusiasm,
commitment and community spirit that was
displayed last year and
was clearly on display
again,” she said.
“Physical activity can make a huge
difference to physical
and mental health, as
well as your fitness, and
active transport helps to
reduce traffic congestion
and parking problems,
leading to a healthy
local environment and
community.
“This event is truly a
community effort, with
more than 40 volunteers
assisting the participants
in assembling the bikes
and making sure they
stay ‘on track’ when
riding.”

Importance of gutter cleaning this fire season

Established in 2000,
Affordable Gutter Clean

in addition to gutter
cleaning for a reason-

gutter guard systems
and advice, roof anchor
points, roof leak repairs
and roof condition
reports.

TFS CAMPFIRE
SAFETY MESSAGE
What a difference: Before and after images of a gutter-cleaning job completed by Affordable Gutter Clean.
THE team at Affordable
Gutter Clean is urging
the community to be
prepared in the lead up
to the bushfire season.
Affordable Gutter
Clean owner Allen
Pashai said an accumulation of dry leaves,
bark, sticks and other
combustible materials in
roof gutters could serve
as kindling for bushfires
during the warmer
months.
“Fires can spread
quickly from the roof
gutters of your home
to the fascias and roof
cavity,” he said.
“Having clean roof
gutters reduces the
risk of a fire spreading
throughout your home,
which means better
protection for you, your
possessions and most
importantly, your loved
ones.”
Mr Pashai said using
a professional gutter
cleaning service could
be extremely beneficial.
“Some people
attempt to save money
by climbing on the roof
to clean the gutters
themselves, but serious
injuries can result, especially without the use of
safety equipment and
training,” he said.
“Professional gutter
cleaners have ample
experience working on
ladders and at heights
with the necessary safety gear to keep them
out of harms way.
“While gutter
cleaning can be a DIY
project, it will most likely take a majority of the
afternoon to complete.
“Professional gutter
cleaners can provide
efficient, complete gutter care in two to three
hours, saving you an
afternoon of hard - and
– firefighters call for
campfire safety
Be campfire safe – the TFS is urging campfire users to “soak it, stir it and soak it again”.
FIREFIGHTERS across
Tasmania are urging
people to be aware of
the potential dangers of
campfires.
“One of the great
things about living in
Tasmania is that families
can just pack up their
camping gear, jump in
the car and head off,”
Tasmania Fire Service
(TFS) Chief Officer Gavin
Freeman said.
“And campfires are
an integral part of that
getaway tradition.
“But it is important
to remember a few basic
rules when using them.”
Mr Freeman said
campfires should never
be left unattended and
should be small and
well-contained.
“Never light a fire on
a ‘Total Fire Ban’ day,”
he said.
“It is your responsibility to check if any
restrictions are in place
before you light one.
“Obey all signs in
national parks and other
reserves that may restrict
where campfires may
be lit.
“Remember campfires must always be
extinguished with water.”
The key campfire
safety message from the
TFS is “soak it, stir it and
soak it again.”
“Use water to make
sure your fire is completely extinguished,” Mr
Freeman said.
“Do not use soil.
“Fires can still smoulder under soil and can
stay hot for more than
eight hours.”
Mr Freeman said as
Tasmania moved into the
warmer months, campers
should be encouraged to
enjoy our beautiful state.
“But they should also
be aware of their responsibilities,” he said.
“Do not let your
campfire turn into a
bushfire.
“Bushfires can lead to
significant damage or loss
of lives and property.”
The TFS’ campfire
safety message is part of
its wider 2015-16 Bushfire Safety Campaign that
commenced in October.
Mr Freeman said the
campaign was extremely
important as unfortunately bushfires were
and would continue to
be part of the Tasmanian
landscape.
“The TFS continues
to encourage residents
in bushfire-prone areas
to prepare their properties for the summer,
as intense bushfires can
strike with little warning,”
he said.
“It is very important
that residents are not
complacent.
“If you live in or
near bushland, you, your
family and your home
are at risk.”
Mr Freeman said it
was essential for people
staying or living in or
near bushland to have
a Bushfire Survival Plan,
which detailed exactly
how to prepare and what
action to take if threatened by bushfire.
“Writing and practicing a bushfire survival
plan will help you think
through the actions logically, give you something
to refer to and can help
control fear and anxiety
if a bushfire breaks out
nearby,” he said.
“Your plan must take
into consideration the
ages and physical capabilities of everyone in your
household, including
children and the elderly.
“Once a Bushfire Survival Plan is in place, it is
important for your family
to know what action to
take when a bushfire
approaches.”

A FINANCIAL MOMENT
Redundancy and The financial “must-asks”
income support before you say “I do”
payments
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
By Hank Jongen
(pictured)*
REDUNDANCY can
be a difficult time, and
many will experience it
at some point in their
career.
It is important to be
aware about what the
Department of Human
Services can do to help
if this happens to you.
After being made redundant, the logical next
step for most people is
to find work again, and
this is one area where
the department can
provide support.
If you are made redundant, the department
can provide you with a
referral to an employment services provider.
This is an important
first step to help you
find work.
In addition there are
a range of income support payments available
while you look for work
or undergo activities,
such as study or training,
to increase your chances
of finding work.
These payments
include:
Newstart Allowance.
Parenting Payment.
Sickness Allowance.
Youth Allowance.
Widow Allowance.
Austudy.
ABSTUDY.
It is important to be
aware that any payouts
received from a former
employer may delay
the commencement of
your income support
payment.
The “Income Maintenance Period” applies to
customers who receive a
redundancy payout.
This is a legislative
requirement and varies
in length according
to the amount of the
payout
For example, if you
or your partner were
made redundant and
received a 10-week
payout, the department
is required to assess your
Income Maintenance
Period to be 10-weeks.
This means you
would have to wait
10-weeks until you can
receive an income support payment from the
department, provided
that you meet the usual
eligibility criteria for the
payment.
If you or your partner spend a redundancy
payout on expenses such
as a holiday, a lump-sum
mortgage payment, or
lump-sum rent payment,
you need to be aware
that this does not reduce
the Income Maintenance
Period.
This is why it is important that you spend
the payout in a way that
will not render you or
your partner unable to
cover essential costs during the waiting period.
However, there are
exceptions.
If you or your partner spends the payout
on expenses that are
considered unavoidable
or reasonable such as
essential repairs to a car
or home or essential
medical expenses, the
department may be able
to reduce the waiting
period.
If your payout is
small, you may be eligible for a part payment
during the Income Maintenance Period.
It is highly recommended that you
make contact with the
department to have the
Income Maintenance
Period assessed, even
before you or your partner receive a payout, so
you can effectively plan
ahead.
The department can
also provide assistance
by linking you or your
partner with employment services providers,
social workers, and
financial information
service officers.

financial matrimony.
WITH the wedding
season now here, it can
be easy to get caught
up in the excitement of
diamond rings, wedding
bells and grand guest
lists.
MyState Bank
knows that many people
overlook the finer (and
financial) details as their
wedding date draws
closer.
Chatting through
finances is an important
step to take before you
walk down the aisle.
This is the person
you’ll share a bank account with after all... Or
will you?
“Umming” and “ahhing” already?
It might be time to
ask your Mr or Mrs to-be
these three simple questions before you join in
1. Do you work to a
budget?
Does he or she
always have extra money
at the end of their pay
cycle?
They could be working to a stellar savings
plan.
Get in on the spreadsheet savvy to understand what your partner’s
money habits could be
like down the track.
2. Is my money your
money?
Avoid beachside
shock while tallying up
that honeymoon tab by
being up-front early.
And stay open about
what you would truly
prefer as time goes on.
You might like a
separate account.
Looking to build up
interest? It could be time
to join forces.
3. Will we be a dual-income household?
Whether it is in a
few months, or 10 years
down the track, there
may be a time when one
of you will need to step
down from the workforce for a little while.
Get a clear idea now,
rather than later, of who
would like to “bring
home the bacon” and
who would like to “stay
home to cook it”.
Keep the “coin
conversations” open and
honest as the years go by
for a happy, and secure,
start to your life together.
And remember, no
matter the financial ups
or downs, you have
found that special someone, so enjoy the ride.

COMMUNITY NEWS
Brighton initiatives Glenview gets into the
benefit community spirit of Christmas
BRIGHTON Council is
continuing to implement
important initiatives to
benefit its local community.
Brighton Mayor Tony
Foster said a quick review
of the past year highlighted the work of Council
to build a better Brighton
for now and the future.
He said Brighton was
continuing to lead Tasmania in keeping down
rate increases, developing
the municipality and
meeting the needs of the
community.
“A particular highlight
of our past year’s effort is
the Brighton Tomorrow
project,” Mayor Foster
said.
“The first phase of
this project included
extensive study of the
public spaces in the municipality, in depth public
consultation and the
preparation of a series of
concept designs.
“We undertook this
in partnership with architecture students from
Monash University and
the University of Tasmania and Brighton received
a million dollars’ worth of
consultancy expertise for
a fraction of the cost. The
initial project received
a fantastic response and
next year will see us
identify priority projects,
costings and detailed
design work, as well as
develop an implementation plan.
“In another important community project
at the former Brighton
Army camp, the Brighton
Remembrance Park was
successfully established
and hosted the ANZAC
and Remembrance Day
commemorations this
year.
“As well, the first
phase of restoration
of the old army camp
hospital was completed
under a unique 5 by 5 by
5 project which upskills
local unemployed people, giving them building
and heritage skills and
knowledge.”
The next two stages
of the project will be
undertaken in 2016,
again as part of the
“5 by 5 by 5” project,
developing a valuable
community space in the
former hospital building
and also providing young
trainees, who otherwise
would have difficulty in
finding work, important
‘job ready’ skills, as well
as an understanding of
our local heritage.
Mayor Foster said
Brighton had successfully
implemented its interim
planning scheme and was
one of the first two Tasmanian Councils to introduce this much-needed
reform.
“Brighton has long
had a reputation of
responding promptly to
planning applications and
issues and this ensures
that we continue to be
at the forefront in this
important area of local
government responsibility,” he said.
“The past year
has also seen a major
increase in professional
services hours Brighton
has provided for other
councils, generating valuable income and assisting
us to operate as cost
effectively as possible.
“Brighton has also
been prominent in
the establishment of a
common services joint
venture with other
like-minded Councils and
this is already providing
significant savings for
ratepayers.”
Mayor Foster said
while all this had been
going on, the council had
not neglected the other
basics of roads, bridges,
footpaths and the full
range of local government services.
“This is just a
snapshot of the work undertaken during the past
year, but it demonstrates
how Brighton Council
has got on with the job
of serving its ratepayers
and community,” he said.
Glenview residents dressed as Christmas presents during the 2014 Hobart Christmas Pageant.
GLENVIEW Community
Services is preparing for
another busy festive season, with residents, families, community groups
and schools all coming
together to celebrate the
Christmas period.
Kicking off the festivities, Glenview residents
took the Hobart Christmas Pageant by storm in
November, converting
their buses into delicious
looking gingerbread
houses.
Glenview chief
executive officer Lucy
O’Flaherty said celebrations continued with a
Christmas market day,
with local businesses
and craftspeople invited
to display and sell their
goods.
“This event gave
residents, clients, families
and staff a wonderful
opportunity to get some
Christmas shopping done
without leaving the building,” she said.
“Due to popular
demand, Glenview is
again creating a Christmas Grotto, taking over
the board room and
transforming it into a
magical light filled Christmas haven, this year it’s a
nativity theme.
“The grand opening
of the room will coincide
with Santa’s visit on Tuesday, 8 December, when
he and his elves will
deliver a special gift to
each resident and clients
at Glenview.
“The talented Sing
for your Life choir will
be roaming around
Glenview’s halls on
Wednesday, 9 December,
bringing Christmas cheer
to all as well as inviting
all to join them in a sing
along, families and friends
are welcome to join their
loved ones for this event.”
Ms O’Flaherty said
on Friday 11 December, local celebrity Peter
Gee would be visiting
Glenview for a special
handing over ceremony
of presents.
“These gifts have
been donated for the
ABC Giving Tree and
are open to all residents,
clients, staff, friends,
families and community
members,” she said.
“However, the
‘pièce de résistance’ of
Glenview’s Christmas
celebrations it the annual
Christmas Luncheon.
“Held on Wednesday,
16 December at Tattersalls Park, it is expected
more than 100 members
of the Glenview commu-
nity will join together to
celebrate the Christmas
period with delicious
food, raffles, entertainment, including an encore
visit from Santa.”
If you would like to
know more about Glenview’s activities throughout the Christmas period,
please call (03) 6277

Macquarie Point Sewage Treatment Plant
Relocation Study – community consultation
TasWater is currently conducting community consultation on options for
TasWater’s Macquarie Point Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) relocation as
the organisation investigates alternative STP locations.
TasWater has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
the Macquarie Point Development Corporation (MPDC) and the
Tasmanian Government to study the viability of removing the STP from
the Macquarie Point site to allow the full value of the MPDC development
to be realised for the state.
TasWater is currently examining pipeline and treatment options, cost and
timeframes for the STP relocation. Subject to the findings of the study, the
target date to cease operations at the Macquarie Point site is 30 June 2019.
Community consultation on relocation options is open online until
Monday, 7 December 2015. If you would like to review the options and
make a comment, please visit TasWater’s project website at
www.yoursay.taswater.com.au/MPSTPrelocation.

Safe Places snapped Tasmanian Planning
Scheme approved
“Tree”, captured by Claremont College photography student Chloe Bester, was awarded the People’s Choice Award at the Safe
Places – Snapping Perceptions exhibition.
CLAREMONT College
photography students recently held an exhibition
“Safe Places -Snapping
Perceptions” to celebrate
safe places and the important role these spaces
play in our lives.
The students’ photographs highlighted the
power of imagery in portraying the safe aspects of
daily life.
Police statistics
suggest that Glenorchy is
one of the safest cities in
Tasmania although it is
often wrongly perceived
that the city has a high
crime rate.
Images of people
featured strongly in the
exhibition, reflecting
the important role that
people play in making
communities feel safe
and connected.
Gracie-Lee Thorpe
won the judge’s choice
award for her photo “A
Rare Connection” and
was also the Facebook
people’s choice selection for “Your Favourite
Place”.
Chloe Bester was
awarded the people’s
choice award for “Tree”,
with Angie Holbrook’s
“Looking Out” the runner up.
A special mention
certificate was awarded
to Rachel Parsons for
“Autumn Memories”.
Project supporters
Glenorchy City Council, Claremont College,
Harvey Norman, Red

capturing and portraying
their perceptions of safe

New Year’s Day concert
at Mona set to rock
LEGISLATION to establish the State’s first Tasmanian Planning Scheme
has now passed both
Houses of Parliament.
Treasurer Peter
Gutwein said this would
be Australia’s first ever
single, statewide planning
scheme and would unlock the state’s economic
potential, create jobs and
maintain the momentum
that was building in the
economy.
“The new scheme
will be faster, fairer,
simpler and cheaper,
boosting confidence for
those looking to invest
and expand,” he said.
“It will provide the
right platform for more
economic development
and ultimately create
more jobs.
“It will replace the
current interim schemes
which provide for only
around 15 per cent
consistency across Tasma-
nia¹s 29 councils in the
three regions.”
The new laws are the
result of extensive consultation with major stakeholders including the
Tasmanian Farmers and
Graziers Association, the
Master Builders Tasmania, Local Government
Association, the Housing
Industry Association, and
many other individuals
with extensive planning
and legal experience.
“I am expecting
the Planning Reform
Taskforce to provide
by the end of this year,
Tasmania’s first ever set of
statewide planning rules
for consideration ahead
of an extensive public
consultation process
through the Tasmanian
Planning Commission
early in 2016,” Mr Gutwein said.
“The government’s
new planning system
is on track to be up
and running in full by
2017, one year ahead of
schedule.”

I am an independent 13 year old tortie. I love to
snooze the day away in a sunny spot, then come
to you for a pat in my own time. I am not a needy
girl, and won’t require a lot of your time. Just a
little love here and there is enough for me. I want
to go home with a family with older children, but
I am not fond of smaller children. I am happiest
indoors and other pets are fine with me.
Who is looking after your
pets this Christmas?
All of Kimberly’s Pet Taxi and Pet Services team members develop special bonds with the pets
they care for.
WHEN you are preparing to embark on your
summer holiday, the last
thing you want to be
worrying about is who
will look after your pets.
Kimberly’s Pet Taxi
and Pet Services can
take the stress out of pet
sitting, care and feeding
while you enjoy your
well-deserved break.
The award-winning business has been
operating in the greater
Hobart area for five
years.
Owner Kimberly
Elford said she and her
team took pride in their
“above and beyond”
approach to pet care.
“We ensure that your
pets are safe, happy and
feel loved and cared for
while you are away,” she
said.
“Pets respond well to
us as we have a natural
love for them.”
Kimberly’s Pet Taxi
and Pet Services include
pet feeding, home-stays
dog boarding, house and
pet sitting, doggy day
care, dog walking, a pet
taxi and pet emergency
ambulance, as well as
pet-friendly holiday accommodation on Bruny
Island.
“All 30 of our dedicated sitters have been
screened and police
checked,” Ms Elford said.
“They are also
trained in pets first aid
and CPR as one of our
team members undertook a program in Sydney where they attained
full qualification as a
pets first aid instructor.
“We also conduct
regular reviews with
vets to learn any new
techniques and the correct way to handle and
transport injured pets, as
well as how to administer pets medications and
needles.”
Ms Elford said
payment plans were
available for pet care.
“We know that times
are tough for some and
holidays can be expensive so we can help take
the worry out of a lump
sum payments,” Ms
Elford said.
Kimberly’s also assists
with various animal
rescue organisations
providing free transport
whenever required for
injured pets.

au that he had fond
memories of attending
the second-ever game in
Hobart as a schoolboy
22-years ago.
“I do remember an
Australia versus New
Zealand Test in 1993,”
he said.
“I was in grade five
and I petitioned the
headmaster at Longford
Primary School to take a
busload of kids down to
watch a day’s cricket in
Hobart.
“In his wisdom, he
decided to let the grade
six kids go, but one of
the teachers relented
and said, ‘given it was
George’s idea, perhaps he
should be allowed to go.’
“So we trekked down
and saw Australia absolutely rock and roll New
Zealand.”
Bailey said the
ground had seen a lot of
changes since 1993.

said.
“I remember being
fascinated watching the
commentators go up to
the commentary box – it
was like an old building
scaffold and if the wind
got up it used to sway.
“Back then, I think it
was really only one-anda-half grandstands, so
watching the transition
over the years has been
pretty special.
“It’s coincided with
the rise of Tassie cricket.”
As an active member
of the Tasmanian system
for more than a decade,
Bailey said the rise of the
state as a legitimate force
on the country’s cricket
scene could be attributed
to a host of people behind the scenes, as well
as David Boon and Ricky
Ponting “blazing a trail on
the playing front.”
“There’s a huge
number of people who
were involved in the
steady growth and Boon
and Ponting showed it
was possible to play for
Australia and Tasmania,”
he said.
“But when I first started those guys weren’t
around much, so it was
Jamie Cox, Michael Di
Venuto, Shaun Young
and Dan Marsh who
were so successful – they
could compete and they
got Tassie to a couple of
Shield finals.”
Mr Bailey said Tim
Coyle also played a
“huge part” when he
came on board as coach.
“Just in terms of a
really strong belief, a
really proud Tasmanian
who was proud of our
history,” he said.
“Certainly Boonie
and Ricky made it possible for all of us, but there
was a huge number of
people who contributed.”

2015/2016 baseball season
Robins (Orioles).
The Athletics could
be the dark horse for
this year’s title, as they
have secured experienced players in Cabrera
and the Morrisons.
With Sam having
pitched at A-reserve in
Geelong and Cabrera in the Argentine
league, they will form
a formidable pitching
line-up when teamed up
with Sully and Hamish
Maitland - last season’s
“Rookie of the Year”.
Jan Menzies has
shown she knows how
to handle the bat and
her speed on the basepaths will be an asset.
The losses of Bailey
and Robins will hurt,
but the possible New
Year returns of Robbie Devine and Steve
Lovegrove from injury
will be a major bonus
for the green and gold.
One of the Hobart Summer Baseball League Celebrity Baseball Game’s team “Sully’s Saints” are back row from left, Chris Chalker, Kerry Hore, Kieran Lovell, Graeme

By David Searle*
SUCH is the growth of
interest in baseball that
the HSBL has five teams
competing in the league
for the 2015/16 season,
with the Orioles being
the latest addition.
Below is a preview
of this season, but first
let’s look at how the first
round went on Sunday
15 November.
The Dragons and
Eastern Athletics hit off
the new season, with the
former fielding a very
powerful batting line-up.
By the end of three
innings the Dragons led
12-1, with Kay Hong,
Michael Blake and Shane
Davies supplying the
power, each hitting solo
home runs.
Aaron Mann made
his return to the Athletics’ side a memorable
one, as he hit a towering
two run homer. This was
part of a seven run fifth
innings, which saw his
team draw to within five
runs. This was as close as
the Athletics would get,
as the Dragons ran out
winners, 15-9.
The afternoon
game saw the reigning
premiers, the Northern
White Sox, take on the
Hotel Soho Hobart Blue
Jays.
The White Sox got
off to a flyer, scoring
four runs in the top of
the first innings.
Not to be outdone,
the Blue Jays responded
with seven runs in the
bottom of the first and
the Sox were never really in the hunt thereafter,
eventually losing 15-7.
For the Jays, Steven
Harris had two hits from
three at bats and Roly
Trustum had two from
two, while the other Jays’
highlight was the outfield
catching by Evan Toms.
For the Sox, Chris
Cooper, Matt Drumm,
Matt Fox, David Humphries and Grant Stump
each had two hits.
Northern White Sox
(reigning premiers):
In: Terese Millhouse.
Out: Chris Chalker (Orioles); Andrew
Kennedy (Orioles); Sory
Samake; Alex Naylor;
Shaun Newbon; David
He.
The Sox have been
hit hard by the off-season departures of Chalker and Kennedy to the
Orioles and by serious
injuries to Matt Cashman and Paul McIntyre.
Their batting should
still be competitive, but
with Cashman out for an
extended period, their
pitching takes a hit.
Terese Millhouse,
who is the first woman
to compete in the HSBL,
has performed well and
with a lot of enthusiasm
in the pre-season. She
will be a handy inclusion
to the team.
The addition of
any new players in the
coming weeks could be
pivotal to their chances
this season.
Dragons (runners-up,
minor premiers):
In: Tim Holland
(South Australia);
Charlie Cho; Ross Peters
(Canada).
Out: Phil Swift;
Jared Rush (Orioles);
Jason Featherstone
(Orioles).
The Dragons will be
extremely hard to beat
this season.
The addition of Tim
Holland not only gives
them that desperately
needed pitcher to work
in tandem with reigning
league MVP Brendan
Adams, but also adds another very powerful bat
to an already powerful
batting line up.
Kay Hong returns to
add his bat to the line-up
Summer baseball league hits a home run
By David Searle*
THE last few weeks
have been huge for the
Hobart Summer Baseball
League (HSBL) following
a visit from the Wollongong-based Northern
Pirates (NSW) and an
inaugural celebrity baseball game at the end of
October.
The first two games
against the Pirates were
split, with HSBL winning
a highly entertaining
game 13-8, only to have
the Pirates gain their
revenge in the afternoon
with a comprehensive
victory.
The “rubber” game
was held on Sunday
afternoon and despite
fielding its strongest side
available, the HSBL Allstars were no match for
the Pirates, going down
17-2.
Thank you very
much to the Northern
Pirates president Al
Michaelis and his team
for visiting – a fun
weekend was had by
all and we look forward
to future visits, both in
Tasmania and in Wollongong.
Prior to the Allstars
game, the first HSBL Celebrity game pitted Sully’s
Saints, captained by
Scott Bacon MP, against
the Chalky’s Angels,
captained by Glenorchy
Mayor Kristie Johnson.
It proved to be an
exciting game of big
hitting, interesting base
running styles, vocal
players and lots of laughter, eventually ending in
a thrilling 14-14 tie.
A big thank you to
all the celebrities who
competed, especially to
Sully and Chris Chalker who organised the
weekend.
The long and tireless
work of Zac Shutt, Chris
Morrison, John Langenberg and Naomi Searle
must also be praised.
Before the start of
the 2015/16 season, the
league secured additional
sponsorship with its first
gold sponsor in Raine
and Horne Hobart Real
Estate and our first silver
sponsor in Fish Focus
Consulting – we thank
these businesses for their
support.
*David Searle is the
president of Baseball
Tasmania
and first year player Ross
Peters has shown he will
be a more than handy
addition.
The consistent availability of players will be
pivotal for the Dragons.
Eastern Athletics:
In: Jan Menzies;
Nicolas Cabrera (Argentina); Chris Morrison
(Geelong); Sam Morrison (Geelong); Allan
Haw.
Out: Jonathon Castro; David Bailey; Stuart
Hotel Soho Hobart
Blue Jays:
In: Lloyd Budgen;
Shane Stanfield (QLD).
Out: Brendan and
David Wenban.
Stanfield played for
the Brisbane Bandits several seasons ago, so his
experience will be immense for the Jays who
retain basically the same
squad as last season.
Zac Shutt’s return to
full health could prove
crucial for the Jays, as
he gives them another
pitcher who can pitch a
few innings.
Veterans Hubble,
Harris, Millington and
Hegarty will again lead
the Jays, but with a
season under the belt of
the 2014/15 first year
players and the outfield
catching of Evan Toms,
you can expect them
to be thereabouts come
finals.
Orioles:
In: Chris Chalker
(Sox); Andrew Kennedy (Sox); Jared Rush
(Dragons); Jason Featherstone (Dragons); Shane
Bromfield (NSW); Stuart
Robins (Athletics); Linton Burgess (retirement),
everyone else.
A young, enthusiastic
team under the tutelage
of Chalker, Featherstone,
Bromfield and Burgess
will sorely test some of
the established teams.
Chalker does not
know the meaning of
defeat and will expertly
guide and encourage his
teammates.
The presence of
Bromfield and Burgess
will add established
talent to the line-up and
the enthusiasm of the
first year players will
take them a long way, so
underestimate them at
your own peril.
Prediction:
Premiers: Dragons.
Runners up: Eastern
Athletics

Glenorchy says NO to family violence
“I WILL stand up, speak
out and act to prevent
men’s violence against
women.”
This was the oath
that a number of local
men pledged last month
at the White Ribbon
touch football match
during the Dad’s Day
Out event held at the
Montrose Foreshore
Community Reserve.
The match, which
was sponsored by NRL
Touch Tasmania, was a
display of men’s commitment and promise to
support each other to
prevent violence against
women.
Premier Will Hodgman signed the community pledge board along
with other prominent
men in the community.
“It is important to
provide men with the
opportunity to speak
up and seek support
along with information
on how to help friends
or family who may find
themselves in a family
violence situation,”
Glenorchy Mayor Kristie
Johnston said.
“Council held this
event to help break the
silence around violence,
raise awareness and
show that help is always
available for men and
women.”
At Council’s September meeting a motion
was carried to say “NO”
to family violence and
acknowledge the work
being done by organisations in the City to
support families experiencing family violence.
The Dad’s Day Out
match included local
fathers, community
members, the Glenorchy
City Council and state
level touch players and
ended in a friendly 4-4
draw.
Event organisers
plant to make the
touch football match an
ongoing addition to the
popular Dad’s Day Out
event.
