FOR THE COMMUNITIES OF CLARENCE AND SORELL

CONSTRUCTION of stage one of an indoor bowls facility at Howrah Bowls Club has begun in earnest with the turning of the fi rst sod on 19 January 2016.

Clarence City Council has provided more than $1 million towards the project with fi nancial com-mitments of $510,000 by the Howrah Bowls Club and an $80,000 grant

from the Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPAC) Sport and Recrea-tion Division.

Clarence Mayor Doug Chipman said he was pleased to see the com-mencement of the indoor bowls facility and the expansion of the Howrah Bowls Club.

“These works would not have been possible without the fi nancial

assistance and support of the Howrah Bowls Club and the DPAC Sport and Recreation Division who have contributed greatly to this project and I thank them for their support,” he said.

“It is exciting to see an-other sport and recreation facility being constructed in the city, along with a skate park at Kangaroo Bay, a stage, amphitheatre

and public amenities at Simmons Park in Lindis-farne, and change rooms at Wentworth Park Sports Complex.”

Stage one of the pro-ject involves the construc-tion of a large 50-metre by 42-metre building with basic fi t out.

Further works are to be undertaken by the Howrah Bowls Club to complete the installation

of the timber fl oor and the bowls carpet. These items will bring the overall costing for the project to around $1.521 million.

Howrah Bowls Club secretary Michael Matthews said the club was “very excited” to see the building’s construction underway, marking the culmination of four-years of hard work.

“The centre will en-

sure Howrah Bowls Club members and the broader community have access to a world class lawn bowling facility all year round. This will mean players can participate in a healthy lifestyle activity year round ensuring engagement and social inclusion within the community,” he said.

Mr Matthews said the facility would attract state and national competitions

bringing income into the community for local businesses.

“The facility will also be able to cater for ex-tended competitions and social events that will in-clude bowls programs for school groups, inter-club competitions and special events.”

The facility is expected to be completed in June 2016.

CLARENCE City Council has agreed to a number of improve-ments to increase safety for all users of Clarence Street.

The improvements, as identifi ed by a techni-cal working group, will include consistent spac-ing of bus stops and traf-fi c islands aligned with pedestrian movements and a central median with turning lanes where possible at intersections along Clarence Street.

“It is recognised that Clarence Street is a major connector road through the suburbs of Bellerive and Howrah and links the south-ern suburbs with the CBD and onto greater Hobart,” Clarence Mayor Doug Chipman said.

“We also considered a proposal to relocate the pedestrian signals and crossing to the Scott Street intersection and

Clarence Street safety improvements get go-ahead

agreed to fi rst consult with the Department of State Growth and also Bellerive Primary School as students of the school are the main users of the pedestrian crossing at the nearby bus stop.”

The safety of the street was progressed by a Clarence Street Collaborative Refer-ence Group comprising representatives from schools, businesses,

church groups, cyclists, local residents, pedestri-ans, motorists and public transport users.

The group made a number of recommen-dations to the council on issues such as improving safety, access and traffi c fl ow.

Funding for safety im-provements in Clarence Street will be considered as part of the 2016/17 Council budget.

MORE than 100 Lions members converged on the Tasmanian Police Academy at Rokeby re-cently to discuss and plan projects and activities for the coming year.

Co-hosted by the Clarence and Sorell Lions clubs, the convention was offi cially opened by police commissioner Dar-ren Hines, who praised the Lions for their dedi-

cation and commitment to community service.

The weekend was not all business, however, with a special gala dinner organised and catered by the staff at the Police

Academy. District governor

Annette Ogilvy, who chaired the convention, praised the Clarence and Sorell Lions for delivering an excellent convention.

Other jobs for January

Planting in January

LIVING with some bugs on our vegetables is some-thing we should consider for the sake of our health and the environment.

The following sugges-tions can be used to help you manage insect pests in your home vegetable garden:

• Avoid planting vegetable beds full of one type of crop. Large groups of the same vegetable crop make an easy target for pests. Instead, mix up your crops to confuse pests and reduce the need for pest control.

• Another option is to plant some of your crops amongst your fl owering

plants in the ornamental garden. Many vegetables are attractive plants in their own right and the dark green of a number of vegetables highlights the fl owers around them.

• Also try to avoid planting vegetables at their peak pest time. For example, the brassica family can be overwhelmed by cabbage white butter-fl ies during the summer months, so they are best planted in spring and autumn. If you must plant in summer, covering the crops with a fi ne protec-tive net will help ward off bugs.

• Spraying with Dipel can assist in pest control

(Dipel is a bacterial spray that targets caterpillars).

• Yellow sticky traps are useful in keeping an eye on the numbers of whitefl ies, especially in the greenhouse. Whitefl ies are attracted to the colour yellow, and it is easy to see when num-bers get out of control. Yellow sticky traps can be sprayed with a less harmful insecticide, such as pyrethrum.

• Remember, all sprays are marked with a withhold-ing period statement indicating the minimum period of time that must elapse between the last spray and harvest of the crop.

LOCAL Priceline phar-macists, including Price-line Eastlands owner Jerry Hampton, have banded together to support vic-tims of domestic violence in Tasmania.

The pharmacists recently donated 150 packages containing hairdryers, toothbrushes, toothpaste and other personal care items to vulnerable families in the state doing it tough over the Christmas period.

Priceline was inspired to contribute to the cause after learning about the Tasmanian Government’s “Rapid Rehousing” initiative.

A collaboration between the government, CatholicCare, Centacare Evolve Housing and community housing pro-viders, the program offers faster options for safe, secure and longer-term housing for families fl ee-ing family violence and at-risk of homelessness.

Mr Hampton said the initiative was “a natural fi t” for Priceline Phar-macy.

“I think it’s a won-derful thing. This is very topical and so important … my staff were just delighted to come and

Care packages a welcome gesture for those fl eeing violence

help,” he said. CatholicCare Tas-

mania executive offi cer Tim Gourlay gratefully accepted the packages in December, which were later distributed to clients accessing CatholicCare

housing options, young women’s emergency accommodation and therapeutic residential care homes.

Mr Gourlay praised the project, describing it as “a wonderful partner-

CONSTRUCTION of the new Kangaroo Bay skate park is progressing well and expected to be completed on time in February 2016.

In September, the Council accepted a tender of $1.14m to construct the skate park.

Then Acting Mayor Jock Campbell said the skate park was another important step in the revitalisation of Kanga-roo Bay.

“The Council is de-lighted to see the skate park come to fruition as it will be a place for our young people to meet and enjoy for many

years to come,” he said. “This is a high

quality facility on a national scale. We have received many positive comments so far about this project, particularly from skateboarding bodies [that] believe this facility could host future national skateboarding events.”

The idea for a skate park was raised in a petition from young people to improve the facilities for skaters in a central location in the city.

The Tasmanian Gov-ernment has contributed $140,000 to the project.

ship between private, community and govern-ment sectors.”

“This is a very impor-tant initiative as many of our clients can fi nd them-selves in crisis accommo-dation in a stressful and vulnerable state - often with access to little more than the clothing they are wearing,” he said.

Human Services Min-ister Jacquie Petrusma said the packages were “boxes of hope.”

“Things [like] this might not seem so im-portant, [but] to women and children escaping family violence they can make a world of differ-ence,” she said.

“I commend Priceline management and staff for this initiative.

“Family violence is a whole-of-community issue and this is a great example of how every-one can take action to help.”

LONG-time Midway Point resident Alan Villiers Peacocke has willed an estimated $3 million to Murdoch University in Western Australia to sup-port medical, health and agricultural research.

After supporting scholarships at Murdoch for almost 20-years, Mr Peacocke passed away in February last year at the age of 103.

Murdoch University’s acting vice chancellor, Professor Andrew Taggart, said Mr Peacocke was a great friend to the university.

“We are deeply sad-dened by Mr Peacocke’s passing and are honoured that he chose to continue his support for medical and agricultural research with a gift in his will,” he said.

“Mr Peacocke’s gift is the largest single bequest the University has received and we will carefully use it to support

research that will benefi t our community for gener-ations to come.”

Mr Peacocke moved from Perth to Tasmania for the cooler climate and was well known for his passion for gardening.

He was also an active supporter of the commu-nity through the Cause-way Club, the Midway Progress Association and the Sorell Gardening Club.

Mr Peacocke and his father shared an admira-tion for the writings of Sir Walter Murdoch, so when he inherited his sister’s estate he was inspired to contact Murdoch Universi-ty to discuss the potential to support students and research.

In 1999, Mr Pea-cocke and Murdoch University established the Alan and Iris Peacocke Research Foundation to support doctoral research scholarships in the areas of agriculture, horticulture and medical research.

Midway Point resident grants $3 million to medical research

The late Alan Villiers Peacocke.

PhD student Coroline Nilson, who is the current recipient of the scholar-ship, said it was invaluable to her study.

“The Alan and Iris Peacocke scholarship not only enabled me to

devote three years to full-time study but also allowed me to support an Aboriginal community to develop a communi-ty-owned and controlled health promotion pro-gram, which continues to

run today,” she said. “The fl ow-on effect of

his support has mobi-lised and enabled the community to become proactive and self-deter-mined and make changes for improved health and

wellbeing.”Over the past

20-years, Mr Peacocke has donated more than $300,000 to Murdoch to support PhD scholarships and the development of the Institute of Immunolo-

gy and Infectious Diseases. Murdoch University

recently commemorated the life and generosity of Mr Peacocke by dedi-cating a garden to his memory.

THE Rosny Farm lawns will be transformed into an open-air movie theatre this summer with the re-turn of the popular Gold Grass Cinema.

Four fi lms will be aired on the big screen across the program’s fi ve days, including The Note-book on 29 January and The NeverEnding Story on 30 January, as well as a debut presentation by Australian comedy show Cinema Fiasco.

A special screening of The Labyrinth was shown on 25 January in memory of the late David Bowie, with 10 per cent of all proceeds donated to the Cancer Council of Tasmania.

“Rosny Farm is a fan-

tastic venue and by show-ing fi lms in the grounds we get to share the lovely atmosphere with a wide range of fi lm enthusiasts,” Clarence Mayor Doug Chipman said.

“This year, with Cin-ema Fiasco on board, we are offering an engaging cross-over between live comedy and fi lm, bring-ing some truly unique entertainment to the Eastern Shore.”

After six-years of entertaining audiences nationwide, Cinema Fi-asco comics Geoff Wallis and Janet McLeod are heading to Hobart with a season of “fabulously awful fi lms presented with hilarious live com-mentary”.

The trash-movie buffs have a fi nely honed appreciation of mediocre acting, dreadful dialogue and not-so-special effects.

Their fl air for old jokes, bad puns and banter has made Cinema Fiasco a “truly unique fi lm-going experience.”

Cinema Fiasco will be presenting two evenings with the following fi lms:

Hercules - 5 February Mighty Greek hero

Hercules must battle an evil princess who has kidnapped his beloved Cassiopeia. In the title role, former Mr Universe and “Incredible Hulk” Lou Ferrigno fl exes his pecs and lifts up a lot of heavy stuff while the supporting

Gold Grass outdoor cinema returns to Rosny

cast romps about in rather odd-looking costumes.

Beach Blanket Bingo - 6 February

It wouldn’t be summer at Cinema Fiasco without an awful beach party movie and, although this is rumoured to be among the best, it’s hard to tell, as they are all so alike. There are the usual bikinis, bad jokes and terrible songs aplenty, and the movie starts with everyone dancing the “Watusi” on the beach and ends with a high-speed chase.

Moviegoers will be able to purchase popcorn and snacks from the ven-ue’s fully licensed bar, and are encouraged to bring rugs, pillows and their own for food for a picnic on the grounds. Alcohol cannot be brought into the venue.

Screening starts as the sun sets at around 8.45pm. In the event of rain or windy weather, the fi lm will be relocated to The Barn at Rosny Farm.

Gold Grass Cinema screenings will be held on 29-30 January and 5-6 February at Rosny farm.

Further information and ticketing is available at www.clarenceartsande-vents.net

Gold Grass Cinema at Rosny Barn is set to delight audiences this summer with a debut presentati on by Australian comedy show Cinema Fiasco.

As well as providing instructions and updates to Tasmanians during an emergency event, the site contains general informa-tion about preparing for a number of “disaster” situations, such as bush-fi res, fl oods, biosecurity breaches and terrorism attacks.

During an emergency the homepage chang-es to highlight current incident locations, with

updates from all relevant emergency services and agencies.

The website also con-tains maps highlighting road closures and where to fi nd refuge centres.

TasALERT is pur-pose-built to handle a large number of users accessing the site in an emergency situation, and the public can be confi -dent that the site will not crash under pressure.

The site is also sup-ported by a strong social media presence, with a TasALERT Facebook and Twitter account.

EASTERN Shore organi-sations are encouraged to apply for funding under round two of the Coali-tion Government’s Safer Streets Program.

The program, which is open to local govern-ments and not-for-profi t groups, has earmarked up to $29.4 million to imple-ment community safety

and crime prevention initiatives across Australia.

PCYC groups are also eligible to receive grants for developmental crime prevention or activi-ty-based youth engage-ment programs for young people between the ages of 12-24 years who are at risk of engaging in crimi-nal or anti-social activity.

Federal Candidate for Franklin Amanda-Sue Markham said the program would signifi -cantly boost safety and deter crime through the installation of security measures such as CCTV and improved lighting.

“All Tasmanians have the right to feel safe and secure in their communi-

ty. This funding will deliv-er key crime deterrents,” she said.

Applications are due by 2pm on 17 February 2016.

To submit an appli-cation, log onto www.ag.gov.au/crimeandcor-ruption/crimeprevention/pages/proceedsofcrime-act.aspx

CLARENCE City Council has resolved to rezone land at 38 Gordons Hill Road in Lindisfarne follow-ing public exhibition of the planning scheme amend-ment in October 2015.

The re-zoning proposal will now be forwarded to

the Tasmanian Planning Commission for fi nal approval.

Rezoning of the land will provide an opportuni-ty for an application to be made for the construction of a retirement village, which Council said would

help to fi ll an important gap in the housing seg-ment for older residents of the city.

The 5.15-hectare vacant lot was previously part of the 18-hole Rosny Public Golf Course which was redesigned to a

nine-hole course on the southern side of the Tas-man Highway more than 15-years-ago.

The land opposite 38 Gordons Road was rezoned in 2008 and de-veloped into the Fairway Rise Retirement Village.

Rezoning of land at Gordons Hill Road reaches next stage

COMMUNITY NEWS

A SHORT fi lm pro-duced on the East-ern Shore is hoping to tackle the stigma surrounding death and dying by empowering communities to engage in meaningful conver-sation.

Launched at the Rosny Barn on 8 De-cember 2015, “aWake Before Death” features local residents and their insights on grief, fear, choices about dying and wishes for funeral and wake arrangements.

It forms part of a suite of fl exible resourc-es to promote aware-ness of death and dying and to encourage other communities to discuss end-of-life planning.

Clarence Mayor Doug Chipman said the fi lm could be an important resource for education and training.

“Death and dying are diffi cult subjects to talk about, however, we must all confront it at some stage of our lives,” he said.

“It is important that we have these discus-sions with the people we love and also more broadly in the commu-nity.

“I think aWake Be-fore Death does this in

fi lm and I really thank all community members who participated in the fi lming, as well as those who put [the] fi lm

together.” aWake Before Death

was made possible through a grant deliv-ered under the Better Access to Care Program (through the Tasmanian

Association of Hospice and Palliative Care) and Clarence City Council.

Leanne Doherty, manager of the Warrane Mornington Neighbour-hood Centre Inc, said

the centre was proud to auspice the grant for the project as it addressed “a need expressed by those in our commu-nity.”

“A gentleman re-

sponded to our fl yer on the project during the planning stage,” she said.

“He said that he ‘was glad to see this topic be-ing talking about in the community’ as he had

diffi culty in talking to his daughter regarding his wishes.”

The fi lm was shown as part of the fi ve-day Mofo festival held earli-er this month.

What’s happening?Early in 2016 the current road works will be completed and there will be changes to the way you travel from the East Derwent Highway onto Rosny

Hill Road and the Tasman Highway at Montagu Bay.

What’s new and how will it look?The existing ramp for Rosny Hill traffic has been modified and there is a new ramp for traffic travelling to the Airport and Sorell.

It is expected these changes will occur in February 2016 and you will need to take particular care to observe the new directional signs and select the correct lane for your destination. Electronic signage in the area will give you advance notice of when the changes will come into place.

If you are travelling from the East Derwent Highway you will need to follow new overhead signs to ensure your vehicle is in the correct lane.

This is how the new ramps will look when approaching from the East Derwent Highway (Lindisfarne):

WITH music in her blood and a spring in her step, Sam Reason has always held a passion for

dance. Pursuing a schol-

arship at the Dance Factory in Melbourne in

1997 before going on to perform both nationally and internationally, Ms Reason now acts as a

teacher at the Belle-rive-based dance school, Body Language Dance.

To share her love for

Toddlers take to the stagethe craft and help young Tasmanians get a head start in the industry, Ms Reason has recently introduced her own ‘Toddler Dance’ class, which began in October last year.

Designed for chil-dren up to five-years-of-age, the class is theatri-cally based with a mix of panto, jazz, ballet and visualisation.

“I created Toddler Dance because there seems to be a lot of bal-let-based toddler classes in Hobart and I wanted to do something differ-ent,” Ms Reason said.

“Drawing inspiration from my experience in working at Disney and Warner Brothers, Tod-dler Dance focuses on creativity and sparking children’s imaginations.

“I want to give young children the chance to learn how to dance and express how they feel to music.”

Every five-weeks the young students are invit-ed to participate in a mi-ni-concert performance

at Fairway Rise Lifestyle Village in Rosny.

The first of these per-formances took place on Wednesday 9 December and was attended by more than 25 residents.

Ms Reason said the live performance was good in getting the young dancers out of their comfort zones.

“I wanted the perfor-mance to have a Wiggles concert feel, where the kids get up, dance around and have fun,” she said.

“I also wanted to give back to the elderly community because when I was young my mother, who founded and owns Body Lan-guage Dance, used to take me and my dancing friends to perform in nursing homes.

“She always pointed out to me that it really brightened up their day and dance is all about sharing our art to make people feel good.”

Ms Reason said the event went “really well” for a first-time perfor-

mance.“We had a wonderful

response from the resi-dents and I even heard that some were brought to tears,” she said.

“Dance is a fulfilling art of self-expression as well as a visual experi-ence for others, so it is especially great to be able to share it with such an appreciative audi-ence.”

In addition to the Toddler Dance class, Ms Reason also co-founded and runs Tasmania’s first multi-faceted talent agency, providing and coordinating talent for anything entertainment related in the state.

This includes danc-ing, singing, model-ling, choreographers, promotions and other mediums of advertising such as flash mobs and live mannequins.

BAKERS Delight proprietors Lisa and John Puglisi have proven their prowess in the art of baking by taking out top honours at the Franchise Council of Australia (FCA) awards.

Mr and Ms Puglisis were awarded the title of VIC/TAS Multi-Unit Franchisee of the Year for both their Eastlands and Kingston bakeries.

Held by the FCA every year, the Excellence in Franchising Awards recognise and reward excellence and amazing work by franchisees.

Ms Puglisi said the FCA win was another milestone the bakery could add to its continued success following an extremely strong year.

“The team really deserves the award, as they are such an incredible bunch of people and we are extremely lucky,” she said.

The FCA award follows a recent winning streak that saw the popular bakery pick up five places in the Baking Association of Australia awards.

It came out on top after competing against bakeries from across Tasmania.

Mr Puglisi said bread quality was a core focus for the bakery.

“It was fantastic to pick up some recognition at the awards, showing that we have some of the best bread in Tasmania,” he said.

Mr and Ms Puglisi also play an important role in the community, committed to supporting local schools, charities, groups and events.

“This year has been a successful one in that we worked with the MS Society of Tasmania to try and raise money for the charity at its Red Affair Ball,” Ms Puglisi said.

“Hopefully next year we will be able to raise even more and form more community partnerships.”

CHRISTMAS came early for Eastside Activity Centre (EAC) after its members and their families were treated to a special visit from interna-tional trampolining icon Samantha Sendel.

Ms Sendel took time out of her busy schedule in mid-December to train with the EAC athletes in their fi nal session of the year.

A member of the Canadian national tram-poline team, Ms Sendel trains with the Sky High Trampoline Club under the coaching of David Ross.

After a successful year medalling at the Canadian nationals and the second World Cup, Ms Sendel went on to compete at the World Championships and is now hoping to act as the “alternate” for the Olym-pic team.

EAC manager Felicity Harvey said Ms Sendel had been visiting friends in Sydney and “jumped” at the opportunity to visit

the Rokeby centre. “During her vis-

it, Sam attended our awards presentation and treated guests to a special performance of her high level skills before putting on a light-hearted show

that enlisted the help of spectators,” she said.

“We were honoured to have Sam present our annual trampoline schol-arship to Hugh McCon-nel, which will assist his return from injury.

“Hugh is a former Australian team member who performed with Sam during the day’s activities, pushing them both to greater heights.

“During her stay, Sam also visited Zoodoo and was amazed at the opportunity to feed the tigers and touch snakes, lizards and even a baby Tasmanian devil.”

Ms Harvey said this was not the fi rst time EAC had played host to an international trampo-linist who has made a career from the sport.

“Jack Helme was here in 2014 and has since been performing

in Cirque du Soleil,” she said.

“We also had Facu Crescini, who now performs in shows in Argentina and Europe, act as a mentor coach in 2015.”

SINCE opening its doors in December 2014, physiotherapy practice Back In Motion Rosny Park has helped more than 1,000 Eastern Shore residents get “back in motion” with its holistic approach to pain relief and better health out-comes.

A branch of the Back In Motion Health Group and partner of “sister practice” Hobart on Murray, the Rosny Park-based practice recently hosted a special one-year anniversary event to cele-brate its achievements.

Practice manager Belinda Jefferies said the birthday celebration was the perfect opportunity to thank those who were involved in the practice’s fi rst year of operation.

“The anniversary event was a great success, with more than 100 cli-ents and referring doctors attending,” she said.

“It was the perfect time to thank all of our team members for a great year, as well as show our appreciation to our loyal clients, whose generous word-of-mouth endorsements have

allowed us to grow to where we are today.”

With no physiothera-py study options current-ly offered in Tasmania, Ms Jefferies said the big-gest obstacle the practice faced was recruiting new physiotherapists.

“Part of the reason for this is that aspiring physiotherapists are required to travel to the mainland to achieve their qualifi cations,” she said.

“That is why we invest in our employees, building relationships and offering pathways for personal and professional growth so that they will choose to return to Tas-mania and our practice after completing their studies.

“Our practice has grown from having just one practice manager and one physiotherapist to now employing three administrative staff and fi ve physiotherapists.

“With new staff and the capacity to treat more patients, we are looking forward to of-fering additional services and positions in the future.”

Hobart on Murray

director Peter Eckhardt said it was “fantastic” to see the growth of the new practice.

“After being in the industry for more than 30-years, I know the diffi culties that can come from starting up a new practice,” he said.

“Not only has the Rosny team helped numerous clients return to better health, it has also actively contribut-ed to promoting local employment by offering career pathways into the allied health industry in Tasmania.

“I would like to congratulate them on all they have achieved in the past year and wish them the best for the many successes to come.”

Also among those to join the festivities was Jason Smith, founder and group director of Back In Motion Health Group, who fl ew in from Mel-bourne to congratulate the team in person.

“It is fantastic to see the new practice attracting the best and brightest physiotherapist graduates with its high quality leadership and

professional development opportunities,” he said.

Ms Jefferies said the practice’s vision for the next year was to simply “get people moving again.”

In addition to its current services, Back In Motion plans to introduce several pilates classes, as well as a “Mum’s in Motion” class for pre-natal women.

The practice also plans to continue op-erating as the primary physiotherapy provider for the Eastern Shore-based soccer team, the Olympia FC Warriors.

Back In Motion Ros-ny Park is located at 17 Bligh Street, Rosny Park.

By Scott HuntThe Dog Grumbler

IN my lifetime the world of dog ownership has changed greatly. Even back in 1980, when I got Kenny Dog Wonder as a pup, having a dog was easy; there were fewer restrictions, fewer dogs, fewer dog attacks and less mess on the pavement.

There were no off-lead areas, on lead areas, dog training clubs or funny dog video TV shows.

Mostly, there were fewer dogs to be left alone in backyards. Therefore, there were fewer badly adjusted dogs and fewer aggres-sive dog-haters.

When you saw a dog, it was usually with some-one – someone who liked dogs and included their dog in their day-to-day life.

These days a dog is like a tattoo – if you don’t have one you might be missing out. Better get something inked onto your skin and walk around in skimpy clothing no matter how cold it is so that everyone can see you’ve got one. Better get something really cool.

So we buy a dog – but not just any dog. We’d better get one that suits our new car or hairstyle; one that sets us apart, something with a hefty price tag and a cool pedigree.

Maybe we’re advised to think twice about our tattoo; to use a reputable artist, choose a piece of skin less visible than say, our forehead. Perhaps de-signs that are totally cool today may be not so cool in decades to come.

Some people take the advice, but that guy walking around in shorts and a singlet in the dead of winter with the Rolf Harris design across his back certainly didn’t – and he’s not Robinson Crusoe.

Maybe we’re advised that the more we pay for a dog, the more in-bred

A tattoo for winterand loopy it’s likely to be. Maybe we’re advised that a well-adjusted dog is the product of a good, understanding dog owner and time; that a dog is not a toy, a weapon, a status symbol or fashion accessory.

Some people take the advice, but the lady being dragged down the street by the huskies didn’t and people like her are everywhere.

They call me when their dog is about two years old. They explain that they did everything right; they paid lots of money, put it in a really big backyard, gave it unlimited quantities of whatever it most liked to eat and get another one in case it was lonely.

These people avoided the truth so they could

posses that toy; that sta-tus symbol, that weapon, that fashion accessory. They have a long uphill battle ahead of them. The ones who don’t call me often get rid of the dog at about this time, while others replace it with a more expensive model.

As someone who loves dogs and studies them, I fi nd this rather depressing. But there is another side to the problem. These days we are confronted more and more by badly behaved dogs. This is stimulus and ammunition for people who dislike dogs.

So, councils are pres-sured to increase restric-tions, enforce the rules more energetically and impose greater penalties. Dog owners must rise

early to travel to a small piece of beach where a dog can swim for a ball or stick and interact with others freely.

Dog haters have to rise early and travel miles to these diminishing locations to take offence and complain.

It’s a crazy, mixed-up world. I have many dogs in my life. I revel in their company, but I don’t own one these days – it just doesn’t add up.

So, if you’re reading this and thinking it might be cool to have a dog, al-low me to reiterate – talk to someone who knows fi rst. Read a book, watch a video, take the advice. Otherwise, perhaps you should consider a tattoo – something really cool for winter.

THE last of 835 used tyres weighing more than seven tonnes were collected from public land in Rokeby on 2 December 2015.

The tyres, which were illegally dumped at the site, were col-lected and cleaned by 17 volunteers, includ-ing members of the Tasmanian Conservation Trust, Tranmere Clarence Plains Land and Coast Care, and a Community Service Order team.

They will now be taken to Longford for shredding and recycling by Tyrecycle.

Tasmanian Conser-vation Trust Inc director Peter McGlone said it took the volunteers three hours to collect and clean all the tyres for removal.

“The locals and I de-cided to intervene as we thought the tyres were ugly and a potential fi re risk,” he said.

“If the tyres were burnt, it would be the equivalent of 7,000 litres of diesel burning, po-tentially spilling into the Clarence Plains Rivulet which is less than 50-me-

Volunteers collect seven tonnes of abandoned tyres

LEGISLATION to estab-lish the state’s fi rst Tas-manian Planning Scheme has now passed both Houses of Parliament.

Treasurer Peter Gutwein said the single state-wide planning scheme would be a fi rst for Australia, unlocking the state’s economic po-tential, creating jobs and

maintaining the momen-tum that was building in the economy.

“The new scheme will be faster, fairer, simpler and cheaper, boosting confi dence for those looking to invest and expand,” he said.

“It will provide the right platform for more economic development

and ultimately, create more jobs.”

Mr Gutwein said the new scheme would re-place the current interim schemes which “provide for only around 15 per cent consistency across Tasmania’s 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, Master Builders Tasma-nia, Local Government Association, Housing Industry Association and other individuals with extensive planning and legal experience.

Mr Gutwein said a

public consultation pro-cess would be rolled out through the Tasmanian Planning Commission in early 2016.

“The government’s new planning system is on track to be up and running in full by 2017 - one year ahead of schedule,” he said.

A FINANCIAL MOMENT

ARE you planning to re-enter the workforce after a period away, looking for a mid-life career change or a way to stay safe in the workforce part-time once you’re retired?

If so, then H&R Block – Australia’s largest group of tax accountants – may have the right opportunity for you.

Every year H&R Block runs its In-come Tax Course, which offers a com-prehensive overview of how to prepare an Australian tax return, as well as opportunities for future employment.

Enrolments have now opened for the 2016 course and H&R Block is en-couraging all those with an interest in starting a new, fl exible and interesting career in tax to apply.

H&R Block hires all its new tax consultants through this Income Tax Course.

H&R Block skills development manager and Income Tax Course administrator Edda Damilatis said she had seen thousands of students pass through the course over the years and

knew that for many, the course was a stepping stone to a future role within H&R Block.

“Many of those who complete the H&R Block Income Tax Course take up a role as a tax consultant in one of H&R Block’s 450 offi ces nationwide once they’ve graduated from the course,” she said.

“Others use the course as a step-ping stone to other roles in the tax, accounting and fi nance professions.

“For me, the best thing about the course is that we give so many people every year the chance to make a start in their career, often in a line of work that might not previously have occurred to them.”

The 17-week course, beginning in mid-February, covers areas including tax theory, current tax laws relevant to individuals and small businesses, step-by-step skills to prepare tax returns and client communication skills and techniques.

Learning is delivered through a mixture of classroom instruction and web-based learning and activities.

The cost of the course is tax deductable to students as a cost of managing their own tax affairs.

Ms Damilatis said participants need-ed no prior knowledge or experience in Australian tax to complete the course.

“We teach students from the ground up, starting with the basics and leading to a comprehensive understanding of how to prepare a tax return,” she said.

“Each year, about 3,500 people take the course and the best of them will typically go on to work as a tax consultant in one of our offi ces.

“Over the years, many have moved on to more senior roles in the organi-sation, often managing offi ces or whole districts.

“In short, if you are motivated to succeed, our tax course can open the door to a bright career path.”

Registration for the H&R Block Income Tax Course is now open.

A FINANCIAL MOMENT

By Philip Hall*

YOU are on a hard-earned summer break, paddling along the pristine waters of the Franklin River – exactly as you’d spent the year planning.

The water is calm, the sights beautiful.

So beautiful, in fact, you decide to put down your paddle and immerse yourself in the moment.

Suddenly, the water gets rough, your paddle falls in and you have no life jacket.

You didn’t prepare. Why would you? Summer is for living in the moment. But this isn’t the type of moment you had planned.

Luckily, this is just a scenario. You’re safe and sound, no rapids in sight. You have time off work and enough money to see you through any emergency this festive season.

But let’s go back to that scenario for a second and think of the paddle as your income – if times get tough and you’re without cash, what will you do to get back to safety?

Your ability to earn is your greatest asset. It’s your boat. It keeps you going and gets you where you want to go. But, without protection, you are leaving it open to some harsh elements.

Sadly, every year, around 17,000 working age parents suffer an injury or illness so severe they have to stop working and around 590,000 working age Australians have been permanently disabled and are unable to work.

Luckily, there is a simple solution to keeping you income safe – income insurance.

Setting it up requires a chat with your fi nancial planner who will help you fi nd the right policy to protect your most valuable asset.

In many cases, your cash fl ow may not even change. Insurance premiums can

often be deducted from your superannuation and your income protection may also be tax deductable.

Why wait? Get your income life jacket today. It’s the smartest way to kick off your new year.

This is general advice only. Before making any decisions speak with your fi nancial planner and seek professional tax advice in relation to your eligibility for any tax deductions on your insurance premium.

*Philip Hall is a wealth management fi nancial planner at MyState Hobart.

When rapids get rough, how safe is your salary?

By Richard Denholm*

EVERYBODY has tips and tricks about what to look for in a fi rst-time home, but what about the properties you should absolutely avoid?

We’ve put together a short list of homes that you should not take on as your fi rst.

1. The budget busterThis is the house that has

everything you had on you wish list - plus more, but it’s more than you can afford.

Don’t be tempted to sneak above your budget, as this can end in disaster.

You aren’t just budgeting for the house itself, but also, for the potential problems that may arise as you move in.

Perhaps your fridge suddenly breaks down or the door swells in the rain and needs revarnishing.

Ninety-nine per cent of the time fi rst homes are not dream homes. Make sure you know what you can afford within the boundaries of your fi rst homebuyer loan and don’t spend over it.

2. The shiny oneOh my goodness, it’s

beautiful. But don’t forget,

sometimes beauty is only skin deep.

This one is a real heartbreaker because sellers can put in a small amount of work to squeeze a lot more money out of you.

You might even compromise on some major issues because you like the fresh lick of paint or new curtains so much.

Always make sure you get a building inspection done. They won’t miss the tell-tale signs of rot or water damage covered up by new skirting or fresh wallpaper.

3. The last one on the

marketIt’s been months of

looking and everything has either been too far away from work, too expensive or somebody else came in with a better offer.

You could scream at this point, or worse, simply settle for the last house on the market.

The current average Australian fi rst home loan of $350,000 is a lot of money to waste simply from being fatigued.

When you encounter a lack of house-hunting willpower, take a break and continue when your resolve

has returned.Better to wait than to buy

the last turkey in the shop.

DISC of the month: Mission Impossible: Rogue Nati onBy offering a new installment every four to fi ve years, the Mission: Impossible series not only manages to avoid franchise fatigue, it gets progressively better with age.The M:I fi lms have also been kept fresh by being handballed to new directors each time, from Brian De Palma and John Woo, to J.J. Abrams and Brad Bird. Christopher McQuarrie grabs the ball this time and delivers a relentless and stunningly shot espionage blockbuster with a screenplay considerably more dense and dramatic than 2011’s streamlined Ghost Protocol. Remember, this is the guy who wrote The Usual Suspects.

Ghost Protocol remains the series’ best to date, but Rogue Nation comes in a close second. IMF agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) has been tracking a shadowy terrorist network known as the Syndicate for over a year, but is still no closer to apprehending the ringleader. Comprised of presumed dead international operatives now working for this rogue nation, the Syndicate is effectively an “anti-IMF”, whose roots can be traced to the highest levels of government.

After the IMF is shut down (again) by irate CIA boss Alec Baldwin, Hunt and Benji (Simon Pegg) become rogue operatives in the search for the Syndicate leader, but have help from a mystery woman (Rebecca Ferguson) who appears to be working for both sides. Ving Rhames and Jeremy Renner eventually show up to assist, however the fi lm works best when it’s the Cruise and Pegg show, although Alec Baldwin does match the latter in the comic relief department with a couple of (unintentional?) dialogue howlers.

Rogue Nation’s action set pieces (which is what you’ve come to see) rank among the series’ best, including a tense assassination sequence at the Vienna opera that’s as operatic in its execution as the performance of Turandot it’s synchronized with, a plunge into the coolant system of a submerged computer mainframe, and a high speed motorcycle chase accentuated by aerial and POV shots.

In a year where everything old at the movies is new again, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation proves its formula still works remarkably well, even if its star is getting on in years. However, Cruise reminds us that although he’s approaching his mid-fi fties, he still in great shape and can handle his own stunts, like hanging from the exterior of a plane during take off in the fi lm’s opening sequence.

Once again it’s mission accomplished, and after this robust fi fth entry, anything is possible. Arti cle writt en by Scott Hocking for STACK Magazine and DVD released by Universal Sony Pictures.

Game of the month: Star Wars: Batt lefront Last night I got to play as Slave 1 in Fighter Squadron for the fi rst time. I yelled out in glee – my wife looked at me like I was an idiot.

This is what Star Wars: Battlefront means to a fan of the greatest science fi ction franchise ever created. DICE wisely made the decision to concentrate – like most Star Wars afi cionados – on the original Lucas trilogy. From the fi rst crunch of snow underfoot on Hoth, to the fi rst time you hear the scream of a TIE Fighter, it immediately becomes apparent that the studio’s unprecedented access to the Lucas archives and location visits has paid massive dividends; the attention to detail is unbelievable. Yes, the game lacks the depth of your quintessential contemporary shooter, but that is by no means a bad thing.

Designed to jump in and play for as little or as long as you want, time poor gamers will appreciate the accessibility. Whether you choose to fi ght online, or in the offl ine missions mode, if you’re a Star Wars fanatic – and we are here at STACK – there has never been a game where the aesthetic and audio representation of this much-loved series has been so adroitly captured. If you haven’t picked it up yet, putStar Wars:

Battlefront right to the top of your ‘to do’ list – it will keep you company in the countdown to The Force Awakens.

Arti cle writt en by Paul Jones for STACK Magazine and game released by EA Games.

Album of the month: Adele: 25Yessir, it’s as titanic as you imagined.Adele seems to traipse along every corridor love has ever opened to her throughout 25’s 11 tracks; it can be dramatic, but its grace and dignity are undeniable. The truth about 25 is, the chordal progressions aren’t very original – but who cares when you have Adele’s innate knack for melody? Her vocal lines could elevate Twinkle Twinkle’s base skeleton to a transcendental plane, because her choices are inherently beautiful and draw emotion out as smoothly as toothpaste from a fresh tube.

Producers Kurstin et al have done well not to spruce the naturalism up too much with electronic gongs and chrome; there’s a gospel feel to many of the tracks, but of course a thick slathering of reverb which makes everything consistently cinematic – any of these could be a Skyfall, to be honest. The more subtle Remedy – which is driven by little more than a piano and Adele’s voice – is especially fantastic.

Some tracks fall into a dour default (All I Ask is pretty unnecessary), but there are a couple of surprises: you can hear the syncopated Lorde vibe in Send My Love (To Your New Lover), while Million Years Ago evokes Amy Winehouse’s Love Is A Losing Game with a gentle fl amenco tremor, and Sweetest Devotion is an excellent closer; its lovely, slow-motion 6/8 gallop is the perfect domain for a song about Adele’s child, whose sweet chatter we can hear at the track’s edges.

While 25 is excessively nostalgic, you’ll likely fi nd yourself swept along its moody river regardless. Just go with it.

Hobart set to sizzle with nation’s hottest summer festival

ONE of the country’s hottest summer festivals will be making its way to Glenorchy this month to showcase some of the best talent in the Australi-an music scene.

The annual Red Hot Summer Tour will be taking the stage at Tolosa Park on Sunday 31 January with audiences to expect a day jam-packed with classic rock hits.

Red Hot Summer Tour promoter Duane McDonald said the 2016 tour was set to be the largest in the festival’s history, with 15 shows booked throughout Australia.

“We always receive

requests from audiences in regional areas to bring the tour through their town,” he said.

“This year, we have expanded the Red Hot Summer Tour to new areas and new venues, which makes it the biggest run we have done for the tour to date.”

A number of Aus-tralia’s most iconic artists have been confi rmed to perform throughout the tour, including Jimmy Barnes, Noiseworks, The Angels, Mark Seymour and the Undertow, and The Badloves.

Jimmy Barnes:Needing no intro-

duction to Australian audiences, Jimmy Barnes is a legend both from his time fronting Cold Chisel and for his top-charting solo career.

Drawing from a diverse catalogue of songs, Barnes will spoil audiences with incredible live performances featur-ing hits such as “Working Class Man”, “When Your Love Is Gone” and “No Second Prize”.

The 2016 Red Hot Summer Tour gives rock fans the chance to see Barnes at his best and enjoy the classic hits that have made him an icon in the Australian music scene.

Noiseworks:This Australian mul-

ti-ARIA nominated band features some of the best musicians in the country, producing hits including “Take Me Back”, “Love Somebody”, “Touch”, “Freedom”, “Miles and Miles”, and “In My Youth”.

The band has sold more than 1.2 million albums including 15 hit singles before calling a break in the early 1990s.

The band is now back and planning to rock harder than ever in their upcoming perfor-mances at the Red Hot Summer Tour.

The Angels:It has been more

than four decades since brothers Rick and John Brewster co-founded this iconic band and penned some of Australia’s most anthemic tracks.

Now fronted by Dave Gleeson, The Angels are renowned for their live shows and have recently enjoyed a massive couple of years celebrating their 40th an-niversary and the release of a new album.

Some of the band’s hits include “Long Line”, “Marseille”, “Be With You”, “After the Rain”, “Shadow Boxer” and “Mr Damage”.

Mark Seymour and the Undertow:

Known as one of the country’s most prolifi c songwriters, Mark Sey-mour and the Undertow have been steadily tour-ing the country promot-ing their latest release, “Mayday”.

Being in the company of Mark Seymour and his band is a treat for all music lovers, especially with their back catalogue of songs such as “Throw Your Arms Around Me”, “Holy Grail”, “Football Train”, “Do You See What I See” and “When The River Runs Dry”.

The Badloves:Established in Mel-

bourne in the late 1980s, the Badloves have made a lasting impression on the local scene with their original compositions and collaborations.

Described as having a “neo-hippy, retro sound”, their song collection includes “Green Lim-ousine”, “I Remember”, “Lost” and “Memphis”.

The band called it quits in 2010, only to reform in 2015 for a run of shows, including the 2016 line-up of the Red Hot Summer Tour.

New lifestyle program to aid post-bariatric patients

Tasmanian Anti -Obesity Service director Stephen Wilkinson with Bellerive Quay Health Hub nurse practi ti oner Lisa Sproule and registered nurse Carolyn Hynes.

TASMANIANS under-going bariatric surgery will now have access to unique post-operative follow-up and support following the introduc-tion of a new post-bari-atric surgery weight loss program.

Jointly developed by the Tasmanian Anti-Obesity Service and the Bellerive Quay Health Hub, the post-op-erative program aims to help counter the state’s obesity epidemic and assist bariatric surgery patients to achieve the life changes they have been looking for.

Tasmanian Anti-Obe-sity Service director Stephen Wilkinson said bariatric surgery took a signifi cant emotional, fi nancial and physical toll on patients.

“Bariatric surgery is very effective at helping

patients who have tried every avenue to lose weight, but there is strong evidence that additional support is needed post surgery to gain the best long term results possible,” he said.

“Together with the Bellerive Quay Health Hub, we have creat-ed a unique 12-week program to help patients achieve the changes in their lives they have been striving for.

“With such a signifi -cant investment, it is vi-tal that patients become engaged in a complete, supportive program to give them the rest of the tools to ensure their success.

“Without the com-plete package, it would be like purchasing your dream car and not servicing it or fi lling it with fuel.”

Nurse practitioner Lisa Sproule will be leading the 12-week program at the Hub, which provides bariatric surgery patients with di-etary assistance, exercise and psychological help.

Ms Sproule said long-term weight loss involved a complete change of lifestyle.

“In fact, what pa-tients are saying when they ask for weight loss assistance is they want to be healthy and have the opportunity to join in everyday activities,” she said.

“Many patients have been overweight for so long they need help with gaining confi dence, making healthy food choices and getting start-ed exercising again.

“Dietary advice is particularly important as many of the old habits

and foods will need to make way for healthy choices and smaller portions.

“In addition, phys-iological assistance in gaining confi dence and improving how they patient themselves is vital.”

Ms Sproule said the “last piece of the puzzle” was helping patients to become active again.

“Obese people have often been sedentary for many years and the program gently improves their cardiovascular fi tness, fl exibility and strength,” she said.

“All of this is needed for improved health and an enjoyable life.”

The post-bariatric surgery lifestyle program will be rolled out from January and is open to all Tasmanians undergo-ing bariatric surgery.

By Sharyn Hill*

WE all have an idea of what we want to achieve in 2016 – some of us write them down, some of us just think about them and some of us call them “New Year’s resolutions”.

We turn these thoughts into actions and off we go: “I want to lose weight”, “I want to buy a house” or “I want a new job”.

When we fi rst set goals, we are often very motivated and we set out on a path to achieve-ment. It’s exciting to have something to aim for and to begin a new project.

Then something happens and we get dis-heartened and we stop. That is true for many of us, anyway.

We fi nd that after a few weeks the shine wears off and we think: “what does it matter if

I have just one cupcake while watching Netfl ix?”; “what does it matter if I miss my walk today, there’s always tomor-row?”, “it doesn’t matter if I don’t fi nish that job application, there will be another job come up soon”.

Soon enough, we fi nd “reasons” to go back to the way we used to do it - the place where we feel comfortable.

We have all experi-enced it and we have all heard the voice in our head, but what if there was a way? What if you could stay on course and lose that weight, buy that house or get that new job?

There is a way and it’s all about how you think.

Right from our child-hood, we develop ideas and beliefs about how we should live our lives and we develop patterns to support them.

These beliefs become unconscious and are the fi lters we have for mak-ing decisions.

For most people, it’s not enough to get off the couch and start walking or actively start looking and registering for jobs.

We need more. We need a reason, we need a “why” this is important and “what” will it mean in my life?

You can achieve your goals if you have a clear understanding of what you really want and have a focused thinking strategy to support you to get there.

AS the Hobart Summer Baseball League (HSBL) completes the fi rst round of games in 2016, we fi nd the Dragons sitting undefeated on top of

the standings. Tim Holland, from

Adelaide, has provided invaluable pitching help to Dragons’ dynamo Brendan Adams and has not been too shabby with the bat either.

Shane Davies has fl exed his muscles with the bat and leads the team with an average of 0.600 (third in the league, with 0.300 being considered very good in Major League Baseball)

and four home runs, closely followed by Adams who has three across the board.

The Dragons are a batting line-up and their fi elding is generally fl awless.

The Hotel Soho Hobart Blue Jays appear to be their biggest chal-lengers, though they will need other pitchers to stand up behind veteran Peter Hubble, who is pitching as well as ever.

The fi elding of Evan Toms and Lloyd Budgen has been a highlight and Ryan Oakley is having a career season with the bat, coming second on the league averages after seven rounds with 0.611.

It will be a toss-up amongst the other teams, but the Eastern Athletics and Northern White Sox have been missing important team members for various reasons, so when they return who knows what could happen.

The Athletics have been hampered by injuries, not the least of which was to their skipper Andrew “Sully” Sullivan, who can excel with both bat and pitching.

His return was most welcome and once he regains full fi tness he will be a great back to young pitcher, Sam Morrison.

Notwithstanding the return of other experienced players, the wildcard for the Athletics could be Allan Haw who has shown considerable talent at the plate.

The White Sox have also had their share of injuries, but the lengthy absences of Matt Cash-man, Patrick Miller and Peter McManus – along with the off-season departures of Chris

Chalker and Andrew Kennedy to the Orioles – have not helped their cause.

On the plus side, they have secured the services of Richie Law, whose talent and experi-ence will be invaluable.

The “dark horse” could be the new team, the Orioles, who created HSBL history by win-ning their fi rst-ever game after some heart-break-ing losses on Sunday 10 January.

Their 11-8 defeat of the Eastern Athletics in a thriller was highlighted by a grand slam home run by Jimmy Clout, as well as some solid fi eld-ing in a team effort.

The Orioles are primarily made up of fi rst-year players, but with Shane Bromfi eld (who leads the league averages with 0.615), Chris Chalker, Linton Burgess and Jamie McIn-tyre adding experience, as well as the return of Stuart Robins and “guest” appearances by Jimmy Clout, the en-thusiastic and dedicated Orioles will have other teams looking over their shoulders.

SPORT

CROQUET enthusiasts from across Tasmania converged on Hobart recently to compete in Croquet Tasmania’s Golf Croquet Medal competition held at New Town Croquet Club in December.

Competitors faced

off across three divisions, vying for the gold, silver or bronze medal accord-ing to their handicap.

The Eastern Shore Croquet Club swept the pool, claiming all three medals with Graham Keating winning gold, John Colquhuon claim-

ing silver and Elaine Anderson taking out the bronze.

Played over three days, the competition proved extremely close with a number of matches being decided by tiebreak.

People interested in

joining the Eastern Shore Croquet Club can phone 6244 6663 or email [email protected] for more informa-tion.

The Eastern Shore Croquet Club is located at 57 South Street, Bellerive.

A THIRD-place fi nish in the eighth round of the Eureka Garages and Sheds Series at Simpson Speedway was Lauderd-ale sprintcar racer Shaun Dobson’s third podium fi nish for the 2015-16 season.

The Christmas/New

Year period was a busy one for Dobson, seeing him contest six race meetings in just over a week.

The standout for the 23-year-old was his podium fi nish at Simpson Speedway on 27 December 2015,

Third-time lucky for sprintcar ace

where he was named the highest point scorer after completion of the heat races.

Dobson fought hard in the top six-pole shootout - a rough and tumble affair that saw him withstand a collision - snaring the fi nal spot on the podium.

In other race meet-ings, Dobson brought home an 11th-place fi nish at Avalon Raceway on 26 December and a 14th-place fi nish in the third round of the World Series at Borderline Speedway (Mount Gam-bier, South Australia) on 28 December.

He returned to the Premier Speedway on 1-2 January to contest the World Series.

Dobson fi nished his two heat races in fourth and ninth place respectively and, in the feature race, managed to evade trouble to fi nish in at 14th after a starting position of 18.

“Although we battled a number of issues over the week, there were a number of positives to take away from it, such as our podium at Simp-son Speedway and our solid speed at Premier Speedway,” Dobson said.

“… By the end of the two nights, there were a lot of good signs that will hopefully bring us better and more consistent results for the remainder of the season.”

THE shores of Kangaroo Bay will be alive with sail over the weekend of 19-21 February when Bel-lerive Yacht Club (BYC) once again hosts the 2016 Banjo’s Shoreline Crown Series Bellerive Regatta.

The regatta is now firmly established as one of the major sailing events on the River Der-went, unique in that it is open to all types of racing sail craft, from sailboards and Sabots through to high-performance sports boats, cruiser racer yachts, ocean racers and large multihulls.

Competing sailors will comprise men and women of all ages, from seven-year-olds to 70-year-olds (and plus), in what is regarded as a lifetime, frequently family involved sport and pastime.

BYC will conduct the regatta on the water and entertain crews, friends and families at the club-house ashore Kangaroo Bay.

The regatta is also highly visible to the public walking past the club and its big marina and from the shoreline of Victoria Esplanade.

Commodore Graham Mansfield said: “The Banjo’s Shoreline Crown Series Bellerive Regatta has a key focus on fierce and fair on-water compe-tition coupled with strong off-water opportunity for crews, family and friends to socialise and enjoy the company of each other.”

An innovation this year will be a large marquee to safeguard the post-sailing activities from inclement weather and to provide greater comfort for everyone.

The Crown Series Bellerive Regatta is sup-ported with entries from every sailing or yacht club on the River Derwent, with the keelboat racing always engendering cross-river rivalry be-tween yachts from BYC and those from the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania (RYCT) and the Derwent Sailing Squadron.

Then there’s the annual “world champi-onship series” within the Crown Series Bellerive Regatta between three near-identical Mumm 36, Ian Stewart’s Tas Pains and Jeff Cordell’s B&G Advantage from BYC and the RYCT challeng-er, Gavin Adamson’s Madness.

Spectacular sail-

Shores of Kangaroo Bay alive with sail

ing will centre on the Tasmanian championship for the SB20 sports boat class, Hobart’s largest one-design keelboat class with a fleet of 25 boats.

The class is expected

to expand rapidly over the next few seasons, as the world championships will be sailed on the River Derwent in January 2018, attracting an inter-national fleet of about

100 SB20s.Crown Series Belle-

rive Regatta organisers point out, however, that the fun of regatta sailing is not just between highly tuned dinghies and keel-

boats but also an oppor-tunity for owners of pro-duction yachts, such as Beneteau and Jeanneau yachts, to take part in a less gung-ho atmosphere in the non-spinnaker and

cruiser/racer divisions.The notice of race/

entry is available from most yacht clubs and can be downloaded from crown.belleriveyachtclub.com.au

The SB20 sports boat class will have its state championship as part of the regatta. Photo credit: Peter Campbell.
