Council commits $696,000 to
Business Innovation Centre
THE Dorset Council has committed
$696,000 over the next four years towards
the establishment of the Business
Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre in
Scottsdale.
Dorset Mayor Barry Jarvis, said that the
project will be resubmitted to the Federal
Government for funding of $1.4 million in
December.
"This substantial commitment from
Council complements almost $800,000
worth of funding support from Simplot and
cb&m who have provided the building and
design support,' the Mayor said.
The University of Tasmania and the DSTO
facility in Scottsdale are supporting the proj-
ect, as well as Scottsdale High School and
the Tasmania Polytechnic organisation.
"This proposed centre will provide new
and emerging food based and other manufacturing businesses with services and support that will enable them to prosper and
grow in today’s highly competitive global
market," Mayor Jarvis said.
He said the centre would aim to build on
the considerable investment being made in
water and irrigation.
“In the light of the considerable economic
shocks that this region has suffered over the
least decade, we must act to reinvent ourselves and this is a key means of doing just
that,” the Mayor said.
Possible source of
pollution identified
THE Dorset Council has identified a possible
source of the chemicals which found their way
via storm water, into Tuckers Creek.
The Director of the Environmental
Protection Authority Alex Schaap said, "The
EPA will assist council to ensure that the risk
of further contamination is appropriately
managed through the issue of an Environment
Protection Notice (EPN) regarding the site
identified to date."
Testing this week of storm water at various
locations within Scottsdale has revealed that
detectable levels of the chemical Simazine
have dropped significantly.
Further investigations are ongoing.

Council to appoint tourism officer
THE Dorset Council has
agreed to appoint a parttime tourism officer.
The council previously
employed a tourism officer
from 2001-04, funded by the
State Government, but the
position lapsed when the
funding ceased.
Community Services
Manager Susie Bower told
councillors that the Council
already administers the Tin
Dragon Centre in Derby,
caravan
parks
at
Branxholm and Bridport,
and the visitor information
centre in Scottsdale.

Do You REMEMBER?
60 YEARS AGO
November 30, 1951
Nabowla wedding
A very pretty wedding was celebrated at the
Presbyterian Church, Nabowla on November 24, when
Dorothy Rainbow, daughter of Mr and Mrs R. B.
Rainbow of Nabowla became the wife of Ronald, son
of Mr Dobson and the late Mrs Dobson of Scottsdale.
The bride's sister Peggy was bridesmaid and little
June Moore was the cushion bearer.
A feature on the bride's table were two china cake
plates, presented to her great-great grandmother on her
wedding day 118 years ago.
and Derby, and pub;ic
facilities elsewhere in the
municipality.
The council has recently
released a tourism strategy
for public comment.
Cr Jeff Jennings was the
only dissenting voice when
the matter was debated at
last week's meeting. He
believed that the tourism
strategy could be achieved
without the need to appoint
an officer.
Comments about the
new tourism document,
available from the council,
must be received by Monday
12 December.
“After two well attended
meetings in Scottsdale and
Bridport and a number of
working sessions with
councillors, the consultants
have produced a detailed,
imaginative yet practical
plan,” Ms Bower said.
The plan identifies six
key directions. These
include: developing Dorset
attractions and experiences
including nature based
attractions, history and
heritage and local produce;
building recognition of
Dorset as a great place to
visit; developing Derby as
the centre for mountain bike
tourism;
developing
Bridport as a focus for
further tourism investment;
promoting the far North
East as an “escape” to
nature; and supporting the
development of the local
tourism industry.

Devils may be shot
NUMBERS of Tasmanian Devils in the Bridport area
have reached a stage where it may be necessary to issue
permits to shoot these protected animals.
This has been stated by Dr E. Guiler, chairman of
the Animals and Birds Protection Board.
Last year permits were issued to residents of Cape
Portland who waged a successful campaign against the
devils.
One poultry keeper at Bridport, only a quarter of a
mile from the post office, has caught 29 devils in a short
period, all in rabbit traps.
A correspondent says that there appears no
possibility that the Tasmanian Devil will become
extinct in the district.

Burr defends
“ I wouldn't have gained this success without Mrs Williams ”
smaller councils Great uncle inspires public speaker
SCOTTSDALE resident, former Liberal parliamentarian and West Tamar councillor, Max Burr addressed
the Dorset Council meeting last week, and was highly critical of the Launceston City Council and the
Examiner newspaper for their stance on council amalgamations.
Mr Burr was speaking about the Local
Government Board enquiry into the issue of amalgamations, and the number of elected members on
each council.
He said that nine members (the number on the
Dorset Council) should be a minimum for a council to
be effective and efficient.
Mr Burr said he was appalled by the views
expressed by the Examiner on amalgamations.
"Its campaign has been nothing more than to try
and make Launceston bigger," Mr Burr said.
"The push for amalgamations gives no thought to
country councils and no protection for country
issues."
Mr Burr said that the Northern Tasmania
Development board should be strengthened.
"But it has been undermined by the Launceston
City Council for its own selfish interests," he said.
Mr Burr's statement appeared to capture strong
support from the Dorset councillors.

to take part in the Legacy
public speaking contest, her
father Rob mentioned that
his uncle Aulben Brooks

Seaview Village
Bridport expanding
SEAVIEW Village, a community
housing development at Bridport
aims to provide low cost housing
to retiree citizens of Bridport and
district.
Applications
must
be
ambulatory and of the nominal
retiring age of 65 years.
Seaview is located on Thomas
and Albert Streets and has
approximately 10 acres of land to
develop. At present Seaview
comprise 13 residences with one
in construction and one planned
to be built in 2012.
There is a waiting list of
applicants at the present time.
Peter Edson is the president of
the committe. Other members
are: Simon Hirst, Kevin Chugg,
Pam Harper, Tony Targett, Tom
Harper, Juin Dobson,
Julie Skipper and Gayle Edson
The committee has raised the
rental charges for the first time in
several years.
It is the
committee's aim to maintain
rentals at a level slightly lower
than Housing Tasmania rentals
for similar properties. The
committee continues to seek
funding and is in the process of
applying for Government grants.
A barbecue will be held at
Seaview for tenants and friends
at 12 noon on 16th December.
Free health check
at Men's Shed
• The entrance to Seaview Village
MEN of the Scottsdale are encouraged to call in at the
Men’s Shed market on Saturday December 3rd for a
free health check in a casual environment.
The Pit Stop health check has been instigated by
the Australian Men’s Shed Association and will be
attended by Gary Green who is Community
Engagement Officer and Dr Roger Skierka.
The program is part of the 'Spanner in the Works'
program, an initiative of the Australian Men's Shed
Association.
The aim of the health check will be to give friendly
advice for any problems after preliminary checks on
blood pressure, checks on weight and waist measurements.
Dr Skierka said men's health is becoming more
important now than ever before.
"Men are living an average of four years longer
today than 10 years ago, resulting in more chronic diseases and illnesses which must be addressed early in
life," he said.
"Major issues include obesity, smoking, excessive
alcohol consumption, reckless driving, unprotected
sunlight exposure and depression.
"Begin your journey towards better health and a
longer, more enjoyable life by attending the Pit Stop
health check on Saturday," Dr Skierka said.
The Men’s Shed at Scottsdale continues to encourage men of all ages to come along for social interaction on Monday Wednesday and Friday of each week.
It is possible to learn how to use the tools and make a
project of their choosing or to participate in the Shed
Activities.
The Market will be open at 9.00am and will be part
of the Christmas Parade celebrations on the day. Stall
holders are encouraged to come along and participate
in the days activities.

For 113 years this well loved church and

New Tomahawk Bridge
under construction
THE Minister for Environment, Parks
and Heritage, Brian Wightman, has
announced that the replacement of a
pedestrian bridge at Tomahawk is
underway.
The footbridge provides pedestrian
access from the township of Tomahawk
to the eastern end of the Waterhouse
Conservation Area, crossing the tidal
Tomahawk River.
The 60 metre timber bridge was
structurally damaged by heavy rains
and flooding in January.
There was more flooding in April,
requiring the bridge to be replaced.
“This bridge gives the community
and visitors important access to the
sand dunes and beaches of the
Waterhouse Conservation Area and
Tomahawk Island for recreational activities,” Mr Wightman said.
Demolition of the old damaged
bridge started last week.
Construction of the new bridge is
scheduled for early April next year.
Greens policies
impeding progress
• Alf Wagner
by Alf Wagner
I believe Tasmania is the
luckiest state in Australia,
and equal of any place in the
world, for its abundance of
natural renewable resources
such as forest, water and
wind.
Unfortunately,
these
resources, which should be
managed for the long-term
benefit of future generations,
are not being properly
utilised. The state's economy
is stagnating and thousands
of jobs are lost because of the
influence of Greens politics
spearheaded by Senator Bob
Brown.
The saga of Greens
intervention began with the
unsuccessful campaign to
stop the flooding of Lake
Pedder but gained huge
momentum through the
proposed
Gordon-belowFranklin power scheme.
Newspapers, television and
radio were used to spread
misinformation
and
brainwash mainlanders into
thinking this "last wild river"
must be saved at all costs.
International figures like
Professor David Belllamy
were brought on a crusade to
swamp poor little Tasmania
with media hype. Bob Brown
lay in front of a bulldozer for
dramatic effect. The Greens
claimed that Tasmania did
not need the extra power that
the Gordon-below-Franklin
would generate.
the
Basslink
Now
undersea cable is being used
to bring power from
mainland
coal-fired
generators because the state
has been denied use of its
own clean renewable hydro
energy. In light of recent
concerns about carbon
emissions and their effect on
global warming, the Greens
should now be pushing for
the Gordon-below-Franklin
to be built.
The Earth has only on
atmosphere, which we all
breathe, and we could be
playing a part in keeping it
clean instead of contributing
to the pollution. If we fully
utilised the resources we
have for hydro schemes, both
large and small, along with
wing and solar power we
could be exporting clean
energy to the mainland.
Instead, we are becoming
an increasingly mendicant
state, relying on others for
power as well as financial
resources,
which
are
diminished here because of
the stifling effect of the
Greens' policies.
Recent development in
the forest industries provide
another good example of this
effect. Here again a valuable
renewable resource is being
locked away by decisions
motivated more by the
political power-mongering of
the Greens and their allies
than by genuine concern for
the environment.
Old-growth
trees
sequester less carbon than a
vigourously growing young
forest. A pulp mill built in
Tasmania would be subject to
the strictest guidelines, and
could replace pulp produced
from old polluting mills in
other places.
The same applies to the
furniture and high grade
timber industries. We could
continue to produce these
products from some of the
world's best-managed forests
instead of importing them
from countries where forest
practices are more suspect.
Vast areas of locked-up
unmanaged forest increase
the risk of devastating wild
fires, which are a real threat
to human life as well as to the
forest themselves and the
atmosphere. Old trees
overshadow and restrict the
growth of young ones. None
of them live forever.
Forest growing is like
other forms of primary
production. Crops and other
individual specimen are
selectively harvested at the
best time to maximise the
benefits
of
renewable
Short-sighted
resource.
Greens policies, unlike the
far-sighted visions of former
leaders like Eric Reece, Sir
Angus Bethune and others,
are not driven by what is in
the best long-term in either
our state or the world.

Teaching
good dog
manners
in Dorset
DORSET Council Animal Management
Officer, Wayne Churchill knows that
dog bites can be traumatic for anybody
particularly young kids, and he is keen
to teach 'good dog manners' in Dorset.
After a recent dog safety session
with Grades 1 and 2 at Scottsdale
Primary, Mr Churchill said that
although dog bites were not a huge
problem in Dorset it was important
that Council did everything it could to
reduce their incidence.
“50 per cent of dog bites occur in
children less than 10 years old and two
in every three bites involve the family,
neighbour or friends dog,” Mr
Churchill said.
“The kids really enjoyed the session
and showed how much they had learnt
by producing posters and writing
about dog safety,” he said.
Prizes were awarded for the best
work which are now displayeded in the
foyer at the Council Chambers.
Mr Churchill said the basic message
is that kids can unsettle dogs with
their sometimes excitable and
intrusive behaviour.
“They mean well but the dog may
not understand this," he said.
The programme also teaches
children how to recognise scared or
angry dogs.

Confusion over NBN impact
RURAL and regional
Australians are unprepared
for the impact a faster
internet service will have
on their businesses and
everyday lives when the
Broadband
National
Network
(NBN)
is
introduced – with many
seeming confused about
what the changes will mean
for them.
These are the findings of
a recent survey of 1030
and
regional
rural
Australians conducted by
FatCow.com.au, an online
business
directory
servicing the Australian
farming, agricultural and
horticultural sectors.
The survey revealed
confusion over the NBN
with
contradictory
opinions surfacing about
whether any impact will
be
noticeable,
even
especially
to
their
businesses.
Over a third of rural
and regional business
owners said they would not
take advantage of the NBN
to promote their business
even though over half of all
the
business
owners
surveyed claim to be found
by customers via the
internet.
Commercial Manager
for FatCow.com.au, Paul
Ryan, said, “Regional and
rural Australians don’t
seem to understand the
incredible potential of the
NBN. Many business
owners don’t believe their

increase and the majority
believes competition will
stay the same, which shows
a real lack of education
about what the NBN can
actually lead to.”
When business owners
were asked about the NBN
and possible increases in
competition,
customer
numbers and orders:
• Almost 54 percent
stated they did not think
their business would be
negatively impacted by
customers buying products
from overseas online stores.
• One percent did not
believe the NBN would
create more competition for
their business.
• Over half believed the
NBN would not help to
deliver more customers or
orders.
Although more than 70
per cent believe owning a
business
website
is
important and 85 per cent
will continue to engage
online, 60 per cent of
regional
and
rural
Australians are worried
about the cost of the NBN.
“The NBN will bring
fantastic opportunities for
all regional and rural
Australians. It will bring
forth the potential for
increased revenue in
business, faster internet
which
will
improve
productivity and a much
wider scope for business
services.
Yet
many
Australians are unwilling
to pay for it,” said Mr Ryan.
While almost 96 per cent
of non business owners
believed the internet was a
viable channel for buying
and selling agricultural
products online, 72 per cent
would not consider starting
a business regardless of
faster internet access.

THE new NBN Discovery Centre and the NBN Co
Truck, which was launched last week will provide an
exciting experience for consumers to learn about the
NBN.
The purpose of the NBN Co Truck is to show people in local communities how the NBN will play an
important role in their lives.
“The Truck will provide a real hands on experience
for people, I look forward to seeing for myself the real
potential of the NBN in Tasmania,” Labor Senator
Helen Polley said.
The bus will be in Scottsdale on 8 December.

hope to be able to report better news on the forestry front as well as
the funding of new projects such as the Business Innovation Centre.
2012 is the Australian Year of the Farmer. This will be a time to
show our support for the great contribution this industry makes to
Dorset and Tasmania.
Please read this newsletter carefully and contact us with any
comments or feedback via our website have your say feature, (see
back page for details). We will also be running a number of Open
House Forums next year where you can raise any issue you like.
Keep informed and have a great summer!!

NEW COUNCILLORS’ PROFILES
Communications Officer Malcolm Reid speaks to new Councillors.
Jeff Jennings Diving for Policy Pearls
“I GAVE UP abalone diving when a license cost $10 to become a teacher in
the north east” says Jeff Jennings. “Since then this community has been
good to me and now I have the chance to put something back”.
Diver, kayaker, geology and geography graduate, teacher and photographer;
Jeff certainly brings a wealth of experience as well as an interest in our history and community culture to the job.
“I think some aspects of Council’s decision making could be improved,” he
says. “We need to listen more and then try to forge a middle road which is
usually the best way even though not everybody gets everything they want.”
“I realise this can be difficult especially when the demands on local government are increasing and our
revenue base remains static.”
But it is policy that interests Jeff. He nominates rates and infrastructure as key areas. “The question is
what policies come into play regarding upgrading infrastructure across the community?”
In 10 years time Jeff sees a community with improved job security via a stable forestry, agricultural and
tourist industries. “We must get the balance right between development and protection of our natural
beauty.”
Jill Probert
an Experienced Voice of her Community
EXPERIENCE AND COMMUNITY are the two key things that Jill can bring
once again to the council table. Jill has been re-elected following a countback after the resignation of Yvonne Thorne.
Since moving to Gladstone over 30 years ago she has worked as a teachers
aide and in the local shops. She is now undertaking tough farm work herding
cattle on the motor bike.
“I’m told I’ve become a bit of an expert in fencing.” Mending fences may be a
very handy skill for Jill and she may be able to use that in bringing the views
of her community more into council decision making.
Building better links between the far north east and the rest of Dorset is a key priority for Jill and she
intends to bring all of her considerable experience and obvious strength to the task!
Russell Brown Not in it just for Laughs
“IF PEOPLE HAVEN’T GOT a sense of humour then as far as I’m concerned
there is something wrong with them.” Russell may like to see himself as a
comedian but he brings passion and commitment to Council as well.
When asked why he put his hand up he is clear. “It’s about bringing representation from across Dorset. People from Pioneer, Herrick and South Mount
Cameron need to feel they are not forgotten.”
Russell reckons we are blessed to live where we do and that he can learn
plenty from being a councillor but he would like to be part of a team that
strengthens and promotes our existing industries, particularly forestry
and farming.
“Without these industries we will lose our sense of community.” Russell suggests that over the next
decade we need to work together to maintain community.
“In ten years we can become a centre for an even better forestry industry and of course continue to
support tourism innovation where we can. “

A new vision for “
Bridport Central
Foreshore Precinct
YOUR COUNCIL
AT
WORK
We will then begin the exciting work
of implementation. We aim not only to
attract more visitors but to give them the
best experience while they are here.
”
“The really good news is that we are appointing a temporary Dorset Tourism Officer. This reflects the growing importance that Council and I think the Dorset community attach
to tourism. It is a very exciting development. The Tourism
strategy won’t just sit there gathering dust, implementation
can begin immediately with the Tourism Officer working
alongside local tourist operators, the commmunity as well
as Tourism Tasmania.”
D
ORSET COUNCIL is moving ahead with the community consultation process to develop a new
vision for the Bridport Central Foreshore precinct.
According to Council Development Services Manager,
Wendy Mitchell, interest in facilitating this unique community process has been very high. Unlike more conventional processes where there is a significant gap between
community input and the drawing up of plans or reports, in
Bridport the first draft of the plans will be drawn up on the
day following the public discussions.
“There will then be another chance for comment on what
has been produced as it takes shape. Overall, the project
leaders will be in Bridport for about a week in February
undertaking this exciting work.” Wendy points out that the
plans will evolve directly out of the community meetings.
Wendy believes that everyone recognises that the Bridport
Foreshore is a fragile yet special place. “The issues before
us will be how to create a plan that means something to
people, but also balances the many uses in the areas such
as boating, walking and swimming with car and caravan
parking yet maintaining conservation and aesthetic qualities.” For Wendy another important question to be discussed is the development of any new facilities in the area.
“At the same time the conservation arborist will be hard at it
over the summer period checking out the foreshore trees to
come up with some workable ideas on how Council and the
community can best preserve these wonderful assets. His
report will be ready to make real input into the foreshore
plan development.”
Tourism-marketing
the North East
to the world
C
OUNCIL IS LOOKING to the next decade of
tourism with increasing confidence following the
drafting of the North East Tourism Strategy
says Dorset Community Services Manager, Susie Bower.
After a number of community forums across Dorset during September, the strategy will be available for final public comment by December 5.
“We will then begin the exciting work of implementation.
We aim not only to attract more visitors but to give them the
best experience while they are here.”
Susie Bower is also excited about the fact that Dorset will
be getting a facelift during the summer with the installation
of new signage at the municipal boundaries and around a
number of community facilities such as the swimming pool and
recreation ground. “This is part of an overall signage update
that will hopefully make things easier to find and also create a
more vibrant and up to date image for our community.”
Obviously Council can’t control the weather but all being
well we reckon this project should be complete by
Christmas.
Other Council works recently completed
include Gregsons Road at Winnaleah,
New River Road near Ringarooma, Snake
Track at Legerwood, Nabowla’s Nook
Road and the Derby Museum Pathway.
Looking to
the FEWCHA
“This will be followed by town entrance signage discussions
that we will be undertaking during 2012.”
Roads Projects
Forging Ahead
L
ISTENING TO Youth Health Officer, “Caz”
Beaumont, it’s easy to tell that it’s been a hectic
and fantastic last three months. “It’s all systems go,
with FEWCHA re-established.” Caz points to heaps of
new initiatives including creating a groovy induction folder for new members.
Although the ride was rough and long, our FEWCHA
members made the journey on our home made raft in
the Derby River Derby and did not come last!”
T
• Ellenor St, Scottsdale - works in progress
WO OF THE major road construction projects outlined in the 2011 - 2012 Dorset Council budget are
up and running. The middle section of Westwood
Street in Bridport had been finally resealed after the
downpours during the autumn and winter had softened
the road surface and delayed the sealing.
Works report that drainage works on the final section to
Main Street are just beginning and will continue during
the summer. When completed it will be another significant
step in improving public infrastructure to deal with future
population growth in Bridport.
A second major project nearing completion is stage 2 of
the Ellenor Street reconstruction in Scottsdale. According
to Council records it is over 40 years since any major
work had been done on this street. Works to improve
footpaths, drainage and overall safety were long overdue.
“Youth initiated and directed projects are the key when it
comes to involving the voices of our young people.” Caz
says. “A good example was bringing Sam Cawthorne to
Dorset to present his ‘throw out your excuse book’ sessions, and did they love it!” Facebook went off and there
was nearly 100% participation in the program out of 350.
Now our young people are hooked up to Sam’s awesome program and the feedback from school staff has
been the best!” For Caz this is all part of tackling the
issues around image, bullying and peer pressure that
can result in underage drinking and smoking.
“Also FEWCHA President, Annie Willett and Benike
Saville recently hosted the new Councillors ceremony
and they were fabulous! FEWCHA artistic members
have also designed new signage for local pools with a
youth flavour. We also have designed new groovy and
colourful wallet cards for the Kameleon. National Youth
Week happens in April 2012 and we have applied for a
grant to hold a week of art based programs within local
schools called ‘Face the FEWCHA…..who are you?”

The bottom line is that people from all walks of life litter.
Preventing and reducing litter is everyone's responsibility.
COMMUNITY LEADER SPEAKS OUT
PUT IT IN THE BIN RESULTS FROM the 2009
Keep Australia Beautiful survey for Tasmania showed
that the amount of litter on our streets, highways and
along our beaches has increased - both in number of
items and volume.
The most common items in the “Dirty Dozen” are
cigarette butts followed by paper and plastic. Examples
of plastic litter include take away food containers and
utensils, soft drink beverage containers, plastic shopping
bags and plastic bottle tops.
Litter is usually thought of as small items, but it also
includes abandoned vehicles, household rubbish
dumped on the roadside or in the bush, and furniture
such as mattresses left on the street by people moving
house. It even includes fish offal left behind by recreational fishers after scaling and gutting fish.
Pull one up this
summer - save
our native bush
from weeds
D
ORSET Natural Resource
Management Officer, Jay
Wilson, is encouraging people
to act if they see weeds such as
Boneseed and Broom and
simply pull them up.
“Weeds such as boneseed and
broom invade productive farming
land and the bush affecting agriculture as well as destroying native
vegetation. While Boneseed (above)
has been tackled around Bridport,
Montpelier Broom (below) is becoming more invasive.”
For more information please contact
Dorset NRM on 63 526500
“Hello my name is Ken Hall. I love the
Tasmanian North East but with littering getting
worse your help is needed to keep it clean this
summer. Cigarette butts, plastic bags and food
containers are big problems, especially on our
beaches, so please don’t be a tosser. Think
about it and just take a second or two to put
your rubbish in a bin. Let your family, mates
and visitors know that littering is spoiling the
stunning beauty of the North East and
please do the right thing."
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
By Wayne “Turtle” Churchill If you see people littering
including dropping from a car or truck Dob in a Dorset
Tosser by contacting me on 6352 6505. You can also ring
Scottsdale Police on 6252 4099 or the Government Anti
Litter hotline on 1300 135513.
Finally “Turtle” says “If your pooch is on
the beach - pick up the poo!!!!”
RECYCLING
D
NOT TRASHY
By Peter Hoffner, Environmental Health officer
ORSET’S consumer level recycling is environmentally responsible and sustainable.
While the larger bins have been well received, it is
important, however, that we do not contaminate our
recyclables with items that belong in the waste bin.
Contaminants are costly to sort and remove, and can
cause health and safety issues for those working in
the industry.
Our recyclables are periodically audited for contamination levels, and unfortunately it seems we need to
improve a little in this area. Remember only
paper/cardboard, aluminium/steel cans, milk/juice containers and glass bottles/jars are allowed. It is useful
to remember that all plastics with the symbols 1
through to 7 are ok, excluding 6.
Just refer to the instructions on the wheelie bins or the
fridge magnet to refresh your memory about what can
be placed in the bins.

side of life now as he has a job that

he is enjoying. “I do bits of everything, concreting drains and bridges
to preparing roads for sealing and new footpaths – right now in Alfred Street

These include supporting the DSTO upgrade and the
Primary Health Centre in Scottsdale, resubmitting the
Business Innovation Centre project to the Federal
Government, investigating options for the Ling Siding
Industrial Precinct, development of north east tourism
promotional strategies, including establishing Derby as a
major tourist attraction. Council has also applied for $1
million funding for upskilling community and business capacity to take advantage of the

we can look forward to work beginning on Scottsdale’s new LINC centre and the long

Main Street redesign, the kicking off of the Rec

Bridport Walking Track construction with
Bridport Innovations. In this context it is worth
noting Dorset won the 2011 Heart Foundation’s
Tasmanian local government awards for our
actions in promoting healthy communities.
As always, Council employees continue to deliver every day services including roads,
bridges, footpaths, storm water and waste removal as well as recreational facilities such
as pools, halls and caravan parks. In addition, in this modern age we are required to
provide all the necessary governance, administrative, finance, risk management building,
immunisation, environmental health, economic development and planning services to
meet the legitimate expectations of you the ratepayers and members of the community.
In terms of reaching out to the community, Council is constantly engaging with the
numerous community groups, service clubs and sporting organisations that are the
lifeblood of our community. We know that this can always be improved but this year we
have also organised a number of community forums on such diverse issues as economic
and community development, tourism and climate change. During 2011 an open house
forum was successfully organised to allow you to raise any issue you like with
Councillors and staff. We look forward to continuing these in 2012 so that we can best

joining Council. He was involved in a family business but also implies that
there is a certain family feel to his new job. “Looking after the town and helping to keep it looking good is something that I feel positive about.”
His job with the Bridport town maintenance crew involves a bit of everything
from mowing, maintaining nature strips, dealing with rubbish, hedge trimming
to concreting and caravan park maintenance. He loves being outdoors “after
many years of air conditioned truck cabs!”
As a self described country boy, Sam loves the sea and family fishing days
are a big part of his life outside work. “In fact the worst thing about this job is
having to spend days working by the sea but not being able to get out there!”
The other gripe is the litter. He reckons we should all
make a better effort to bin our rubbish this summer!

Thirty years later HIV is still here
Self Care
by John Bell
IT’S now 30 years since
the first reported case of
AIDS.
And
despite
sustained
efforts
to
eradicate the disease there
are still 7000 new HIV
infections every day. In
1988 the World Health
Organization
(WHO)
declared 1 December the
first World AIDS Day. Its
aim was, and remains, to
raise awareness about
HIV/AIDS issues, and
particularly the need for
support
and
understanding for people
living with HIV/AIDS.
Since then, World
AIDS Day has been
established as one of the
world’s most successful
commemorative days. As
the “red ribbon day” it is
now recognised and
observed by millions of
people in more than 190
countries. And the day
has also become an
opportunity to highlight
the need for continued
development of education
and prevention strategies.

immunodeficiency virus.

It is primarily transmitted
in blood, semen and
vaginal
fluids
via
unprotected
sex
or
sharing
injecting
equipment. HIV belongs
to a group of viruses
called retroviruses known
for the capacity to copy
their genetic blueprint
onto the genes of the host
person’s cells. HIV has
been identified as the
virus that causes AIDS.
AIDS
(acquired
immune
deficiency
syndrome) is not a single
disease. It is a broad
range of conditions that
occur when a person’s
system
is
immune
seriously damaged after
years of attack by the HIV.
The terms HIV and AIDS
are not interchangeable.
It is important to
remember that a person
who is infected with HIV
does not necessarily have
AIDS. However, all people
with AIDS have been
infected with HIV.
The ability of HIV to
live outside the body is
very
limited
and,
therefore, HIV is not
particularly easy to
transmit.
It is a
communicable disease,
but it is not contagious
like air-borne viruses
such as influenza. HIV
cannot be transmitted by
hugging, shaking hands,
coughing or sneezing.
Nor can it be transmitted
by sharing glasses, cups or
utensils or by insect bite.
There are three main
modes
of
HIV
t r a n s m i s s i o n :
unprotected anal and
vaginal
sexual
intercourse; sharing drug
injecting equipment; and
to
child
mother
transmission
during
pregnancy, birth or breast
feeding.
Exposure
to
HIV
contaminated blood is
another potential route of
transmission. Injecting
drug users who share
needles and syringes are
at risk of HIV infection
because there is often a
small amount of blood
left in the syringe after
injection. So there are
definitely times when
sharing is not always
caring.
This type of exposure
can also occur during
skin
piercing
and
tattooing procedures if
equipment has not been
properly sterilised after
having previously being
used on someone with
HIV. Body piercing or
tattooing should always
be undertaken at licensed
studios that use new
inkpots
for
each
procedure and disposable
needles or anautoclave to
sterilise equipment.
At the end of 2010 it
was estimated that there
were about 34 million
people living with HIV
worldwide, and although
global rates of HIV
infection have fallen
dramatically, there were
still around 2.7 million
new HIV infections last
year and about 1.8 million
people died of AIDS
related
illnesses.
Nevertheless, measures
such as improved medical
treatment prevented an
estimated 700,000 deaths
in 2010. Here in Australia,
where
transmission
occurs primarily through
sexual contact between
men, the number of new
cases of HIV infection
diagnosed is now stable at
around 1000 per year.
Wherever we live we
can combat AIDS by
“respect and protect”. By
respecting and protecting
ourselves and others we
can stop the spread of the
HIV and put an end to
prejudice. Check out the

Female trainers making an impact “ This complex is ideal”
PACING trainers Brooke Hammond and
Kate MacLeod have teamed up and are
training their horses on a leased
property at Bridport.
Both women have been in the
industry for many years. Hammond has
been training for 10 years while
MacLeod gained her open licence just
this year after a long period working for
Dick Eaves.
Prior to coming to Bridport,
Hammond was preparing her horses at
Swan Bay and MacLeod was at Pipers
River.
Hammond won the prestigious
Granny Smith final at Devonport in 2008
with Bubbas A Fake. She also trained
Cat Bay who was Tasmania's top three
year old in 2009, and Strezlecki Time
who won the cup at Scottsdale in 2009.
"This complex is ideal and has an
excellent training track, and we intend
to start using the beach as well,"
Hammond said.
With 16 horses on the property,
feeding and working the horses makes
for a long day but the hard work is
bearing results.
Pants Off Friday has won four of his
five starts for Hammond, all driven by
MacLeod, before a chipped bone forced
the trainer to put him out for a spell.
"He has untapped potential but he'll
be back," Hammond said.
MacLeod too is gaining success. Why
Take Time has won three races already
this season, and Cheyenne Saloon broke
through last week.
Currently MacLeod is second on the
Female Drivers Championship behind
Erin Hollaway. She is also second on the
Female Trainers Championship and
Hammond is third.
• Kate MacLeod with Why Take Time
who won on Sunday, and Brooke
Hammond with Ellie Latte and Montana
Luck on the Bridport property.
"The decision to train together here
has worked out really well. The horses
are happy and we're getting results,"
MacLeod said.

SATURDAY'S
matches were washed out,
and a working bee was
quickly
organised
downstairs to put the
finishing touches on the
Christmas Parade float.
This obviously had a tiring
effect on those who took
part.
Cosgrove Park, it should
be remembered, gave Div 1
the short back and sides
last season, and they got up
again on Sunday. Cassidy,
avoided the Fire Station

Gettysburg Address
Scottsdale 54.
The green speed for Div
2 was very slow but we
must spare a thought for
the greenkeepers as the
new surface is only in its
second season. Edwards
was yet again the only
winner and he's dropped
just one game for the
season.
It is rumoured he is
forming a syndicate to
purchase a horse and has
nominated the name 'Get
'Em Closer'.
McKillop and his team
just couldn't get into the
mix, but child minder
Petterwood
lacked
concentration after a tiring
Saturday in the play pen.
Scores: Lilydale 77 d
Scottsdale 63.
Beauty Point arrived for
the Div 3 clash after their
Christmas Party as the the
locals searched for the sun
cream.
Goninon romped in by a
hefty margin courtesy of
his number two Chilcott in
top form. Ranson was in
his match until dropping a
six which was the final
losing margin, while
Knight struggled early but
came home hard. He's like
his milkshake maker - once
warmed he can't be turned

Four winners to
pacing trainers Twenty20 final washed out
NORTH-EASTERN pacing
trainers dominated the
Mowbray meeting on
Sunday, winning four of the
nine races and finishing in
the placings in three other
events.
Hilda Su, trained by Ken
Hall, broke through for her
first win defeating Wayne
Rattray's Codie Karalta in
the opening event. Driven by
Rohan Hadley the four year
old mare came with a
sustained run and won
impressively.
Rattray had better
fortune with Twilight Town
who careered away to win
the Betty Lee Pace by eight
metres after sitting outside
the leader at the bell. It was
the gelding's third win of the
season and he went under
two minutes for the first
time in a promising career.
OR
RD
DS
S
LO
Kate Macleod continued
her run of success. The
young trainer-driver timed
her run on Why Take Time
perfectly to win the Logan
Derby Pace. It was the five
year old mare's third win for
the season and she paid
$36.30 for the win.
Leading Trainer Grant
Hodges won the final race on
the program with three year
old filly Erinrocks, to
complete a successful night
for local trainers.
Feeel The Fury (Kate
Macleod), Saturday Nights
(Grant Hodges), and Rock
And Run (Grant Hodges)
also finished in the placings.
On Monday night,
Hodges travelled to Hobart
with a number of his team.
Spot Nine made the trip
worthwhile when he won
the Cassius Bay Pace.
LAST Saturday's Twenty20 grand final followed the same script as
previous weekends - it was a wash out after heavy rainfall prevented a ball being bowled.
With no chance of any play getting
under way the conversations turned to if and when the decider
should be played and of course – Is the bar open yet? and Who
has the cards?
With several players having plans already made for the following day and next weekend, a mutual decision was reached that the
match wouldn't be played and no trophy will be presented.
A selection committee will now meet to choose a team to rep-
by Jeffrey
Kitchin
resent the North-East in the statewide competition.
The first round of the ever popular tournament will be played
against the East Coast Association on the 8th or 15th January at
either Scottsdale or St Helens.
This weekend the 40 over roster will get under way, providing
there is some fine weather to allow the cricket action to take place.
Central will host Ringwood, Branxholm travels to Winnaleah,
while Scottsdale has the bye. All games are scheduled to start at
12 noon unless prior arrangements have been made between the
two captains.
