BEC THOMAS TO CONTEST MAYORAL BY-ELECTION

Acting Mayor Bec Thomas will contest the upcoming by-election for Mayor.

ACTING Glenorchy Mayor Bec Thomas will contest the upcoming by-election for Mayor made vacant by Kristie Johnston winning a seat in the Tasmanian Parliament.

Alderman Thomas has the support of Ms Johnston, who said the Acting Mayor had demonstrated she was passionate about the Glenorchy community and was a highly capable leader.

“Acting Mayor Thomas has taken on the role over the past six weeks with ease and grace,” Ms Johnston said.

“From the start of her term on council, Alderman Thomas demonstrated she was not afraid to ask difficult questions and suggest alternative approaches to ensure the best outcomes for our community.

“She is loyal, trustworthy and responsive and well equipped to lead the Glenorchy community into the future.

“Alderman Thomas has good relationships in the community, is well respected within council and across all levels of Government and will do a fine job if elected.”

Alderman Thomas said her loyalty to the community and commitment to continue driving the shift towards a vibrant city motivated her to run for Mayor.

“I have lived in Glenorchy for all 37 years of my life,” Ms Thomas said.

“I went to school here, worked in my first

jobs here and settled here with my husband, Ross.

“I truly know the people of Glenorchy.

I’m one of them and I genuinely represent their interests.”

Alderman Thomas said she wanted to continue to build on the good things happening in Glenorchy right now.

“I am passionate about Glenorchy being the best it can be and I am truly excited about the future of our city.

“We have a $1.9 billion development pipeline to be delivered over the next ten years and there’s a real feeling that Glenorchy is the place to live and invest.

In short, Glenorchy is a great place to live now and will be into the future.”

Alderman Thomas highlighted the urban renewal projects in the Moonah and Glenorchy retail strips and the development of the Chapel St Dog Park as achievements of the council she has been a member of as Alderman, Deputy Mayor and now Acting Mayor.

Alderman Thomas also noted her positive relationships in the community and across all levels of Government as key to being able to achieve outcomes for the Glenorchy community.

“My focus will be on working constructively with the State and Federal Governments, neighbouring councils, businesses and notfor-profit organisations in our community to deliver sustainable outcomes for the

people of Glenorchy.

“If elected Mayor, I will continue to build on the stable pathways that have been the focus of the current council. My leadership will be steady but purposeful.

“We are in a good place now, and I am proud of that, but there is so much more to be done in roads and footpaths, waste services, economic and community development.

“I know the challenges and opportunities ahead for our council and community and am well placed to address them.”

Ms Johnston said the Glenorchy community would be well served should they elect the Acting Mayor to the role on a permanent basis.

“Council needs a new generation of fresh leaders ready to grasp the opportunities that the future holds for Glenorchy and Acting Mayor Thomas is the right person to do just that,” she said.

Alderman Thomas is politically independent and has never been a member of a political party.

“I am genuine, approachable and responsive. I offer stability and dedication to the people of Glenorchy if I am given the honour of representing them as Mayor,” she said.

A postal vote for the by-election will occur from 22 June – 20 July 2021.

Hobart City Mission celebrates volunteers with local charities from Hobart City Mission and the Migrant Resource Centre.

“We have hundreds of Tasmanians who volunteered their time this May, raised a cuppa and supported cancer research, support and prevention, and I would like to thank everyone involved,” she said.

“Our work is underpinned by the generosity of the community and simply would not be possible without the dedication of our volunteers.”

Migrant Resource Centre Tasmania representative Tahlia Morgan said the organisation valued the important work of volunteers across Tasmania.

“MRC Tas was pleased to support the morning tea, which celebrated the amazing work of volunteers while raising important funds for Cancer Council,” she said.

“Attendees had the opportunity to try some delicious handmade Middle Eastern sweets from our social enterprise project, such as Ma’amoul, a famous Syrian shortbread cookie.”

Hobart City Mission also organised a number of other social events for its volunteers throughout National Volunteer Week, including private tours of the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and a boat cruise on the River Derwent.

HOBART City Mission kicked off celebrations for National Volunteer Week with an Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea event to raise money for the Cancer Council Tasmania.

The morning tea recognised and thanked more than 450 volunteers who dedicate their time to helping the community through volunteering at Hobart City Mission and City Mission Op Shops.

The event was a collaboration between Hobart City Mission, Cancer Council and Migrant Resource Centre Tasmania (MRC Tas).

Funds raised on the day were donated to the Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Tea. Hobart City Mission chief executive officer John Stubley said the morning tea celebrated the efforts of volunteers in southern Tasmania, while raising funds for an important cause.

“Many of our volunteers have been affected by cancer in one way or another,” he said.

“We feel that this partnership is a great way to support a charity that supports our volunteers and staff through some of the more difficult times in life.

“It’s also a really nice way to come together to connect to other organisations in the community such as Cancer Council and the Migrant Resource Centre, and celebrate the efforts of our amazing volunteers.”

Cancer Council Tasmania chief executive officer Penny Egan said she was thankful for the support

Stoneman’s embraces farm life for Biggest Morning Tea STONEMAN’S Garden Centre has raised $9,500 for the Cancer Council Tasmania after hosting a fun filled Biggest Morning Tea. Scores of people donned their best overalls and flannies in an ‘Old MacDonald’s Farm’ themed morning tea.

Stoneman’s hosts a Biggest Morning tea every year to bring the community together and raise funds for a worthy cause.

Stoneman’s Garden Centre co-owner and marketing and admin manager Jo Stoneman

said it was a great turn out due to there being no event in 2020 because of COVID-19.

“We had a lot of donations online before the event even started and a lot of people came up to me saying how willing they were to donate, it was really touching,” she said.

Local entertainer John X acted as MC for the event, while horticulturist Angus Stewart gave a talk on ‘what’s new in native plants’.

There were also plenty of games being held, such as a coin toss,

as well as a raffle.

“We had a memorial garden where people could buy a bulb and write the name of their loved one they’re remembering on it,” Ms Stoneman said.

“They could then take it home or plant it in our memorial garden, where the bulbs come up and

give us a beautiful display by giving us that little moment of remembrance.”

Ms Stoneman said the Biggest Morning Tea was a significant event to help combat cancer by raising funds and awareness.

“Just about everybody in our community and all across the world is

touched by cancer in one way or another, so it’s something we can all relate to, and it’s something we really need to try to find solutions for and support each other,” she said.

“This event was a great way to come together, offer comfort and support, and also

raise vital funds.”

Cancer Council Tasmania chief executive officer Penny Egan attended the event at Stoneman’s and was impressed to see the community come together to support the cause.

“The Biggest Morning Tea is one of our biggest fundraising events for

the year and it’s a good opportunity for us to be able to get out in the public and say thank you,” Ms Egan said.

“It’s a great event to bring people and communities together, whether that be schools, families, friends or office groups, it’s just one of those fabulous events.”

Sue promises to continue to stand up for her community

By SUE HICKEY* I AM truly grateful for the privilege to serve Tasmanians and my community in Parliament for the past three years. While I won’t be in Parliament, I remain committed to working hard for the Glenorchy community I’ve lived in and been part of in any way I can.

Our community needs help in a range of areas but most importantly housing, homelessness and health are key priorities.

One of the highlights in this area in recent

years was Oakleigh Court Housing Estate and its transformation from a government-run shop front for drugs and crime to a state-of-the-art home for 50 elderly residents to live in safety and peace. It took three years of hard work but shows what can be done.

Women now have access to terminations, the Government was convinced to put an extra $5million into the RHH emergency department, a further $7.2million was provided to address the appalling waitlist for

women with gynaecological issues and parliament passed the historic Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) bill. I was pleased to be able to play an important role in these initiatives.

While political life is tough, we also had plenty of fun times. Tens of thousands of dollars worth was collected in donations to help people in need, including shaving my head to raise more than $10,000 for the Leukemia Foundation. We also had fun collecting bras and knickers for those in need which caused utter

craziness in my office but importantly, they went to some great charities. Extra temporary accommodation was also provided for the homeless leading to pod housing at Bethlehem House and the Hobart Women’s Shelter.

Whatever happens I won’t shirk standing up for people, and I will do so with determination and hard work. I promise to continue to do that for my community of Glenorchy.

THE Lab, a popular tech based social club for young people who identify as being on the autism spectrum, is opening its first tech club in Hobart.

It will provide young people aged 10 to 18 with an inclusive environment and exciting opportunities to explore interests, develop new skills and make friends with help from professional mentors.

The Lab Hobart will carry on the vision of the wider network by focusing on an individual’s personal strengths and enthusiasm for technology, tapping into a common experience within the group to build friendships and technical skills.

It will provide the opportunity to increase participants’ capacity for social connectedness, which is a significant issue for young people on the autism spectrum.

“We are excited to continue growing The Lab’s national network by establishing Hobart’s first lab,” The Lab’s national coordinator Alan Morgans said.

“Providing opportunities to disadvantaged young people across Australia has always been our priority and this will

offer incredible social benefits for those in the Hobart area.

“On the back of a challenging year, it is particularly exciting to open our doors to young people in Hobart.”

Mr Morgans said it was important these spaces existed for young people with autism across the country, having seen an increase in self-confidence and capacity for managing social relationships for young people attending Lab sessions.

“Social isolation is a significant issue for young people on the spectrum with impacts

on both personal and employment opportunities,” he said.

“Young people on the spectrum have some of the lowest rates of employment in the community and this is a serious issue that we want to address with the experiences participants can gain in Lab sessions.

“Young people on the spectrum have so much to offer, but it’s important that the community and employers learn to recognise the differences they have and not see a disability.

“The Lab focuses on participants’ strengths through the activities

that they love doing, and use this engagement as the currency for providing valuable social experiences.

“We say that participants leave their diagnosis at the door and enjoy their engagement with technology, mentors and their peers within a supportive environment that The Lab offers.”

The Lab will be hosting sessions at the Glenorchy Library on Saturday mornings, with booking being essentials.

Wide Angle Tasmania helps not-for-profits tell story TASMANIAN film industry experts are set to provide the Tasmanian not-for-profit sector with an opportunity to harness the power of video to help tell their stories.

Devised by Wide Angle Tasmania, ‘Films Work’ is a program that supports Tasmanian notfor-profits to use films for social change.

Wide Angle Tasmania’s executive director Abi Binning said support from the Tasmanian Community Fund meant participants could work with them to learn the best strategies to communicate their mission using films.

“We know that film making can be a powerful way to tell a story, using emotion to inform and build advocates for a cause,” she said.

“Social media and websites are a critical communication tool and although we have tight budgets, the not-for-profit sector can benefit from creating good video

content.”

Over a two day workshop, participants will learn how to create inhouse videos to document their impact and create more engagement in print, on the web and through social media.

The fast, fun and information-packed workshop covers all the basics for not-for-profit leaders to use film for social change.

During the workshop, participants will start to formulate the strategy for using films within their organisations.

They will find out how to work with professional filmmakers to develop compelling stories that connect and engage their stakeholders.

Following the workshop, each organisation will receive six mentoring meetings designed to create an action plan and stay on track to implement their film strategy, which may include hosting a film screening, creating video

content or developing a brief to produce a professional short film.

Tasmanian Community Fund Chair Sally Darke said the Films Work program was a fine example of the sector building capacity and knowledge to make more effective change for the future.

“We commend Wide Angle Tasmania for their vision for this project, as we know that there are Tasmanian not-forprofit organisations doing important work and we will all benefit more by knowing what that is,” she said.

“We are looking forward to watching the film work that comes from the program in the coming months.”

This opportunity is open to any small or medium not-for-profit organisation operating in Tasmania.

Each organisation is required to have two participants attend the workshop (this can include employees, board

members or volunteers) who can commit time to develop and implement a strategy to use film in their organisation during 2021.

Applications to participate in the program are due on 10 June 2021.

For application forms or more information on Films Work, visit https:// www.wideangle.org.au/ films_work.

Wide Angle Tasmania (WAT) is a not-for-profit organisation with a long history of supporting Tasmanians to make films that reflect and shape Tasmanian culture.

WAT bridges a dynamic space where its services are used for education, employment and creative expression with a strong track-record of partnering to deliver projects that leverage resources and the community.

Their creative excellence has been recognised through international festival awards and screenings on ABC, SBS and online.

Tom O’Hern discussing his work with a student.

Artist in residence

2021

CLAREMONT College is fortunate to have Tom O’Hern as an Artist in Residence for six weeks this term.

He is creating a mural on the exterior of the college’s Art Block.

Tom has had many solo and group exhibitions. He has also created a number of murals, with his work brightening up the streets of Hobart, most notably in Mathers Lane and Bidencopes Lane.

This is a wonderful

opportunity for students to work alongside a practicing artist. It allows students to see the artist creating their own artwork and talk to them about it.

Also supporting the students in their artistic journeys at Claremont College, are specialist teachers and equipment. The college’s Art Department caters for all studio areas and has a dedicated ceramics studio with

a kiln, banner and printing presses, a digital computer lab, and a darkroom which is one of the few remaining in schools. Students studying level three Art have access to their own studio space.

Claremont College Art students have participated in festivals such as Light Up the Lane and Vibrance as well as submitting work for prizes and awards such as the Young

Archies and the Future Young Artists Prize in which a Claremont College student was the inaugural winner.

With great inspiration from Tom O’Hern, other visiting artists and their experienced and dedicated teachers, we are looking forward to seeing the innovative and interesting work currently being developed for their end of year exhibition in November.

Challenge encouraging students to read THE Premier’s Reading Challenge has officially kicked off for 2021, encouraging Tasmanian students to take up the challenge and read as often as possible during the 10 weeks.

The challenge is a great way to encourage children to read regularly and, in turn, set them up for the lifelong benefits that reading brings.

2021 marks Hawthorn Football Club’s fifth year of involvement in the challenge.

The Department of Education and Hawthorn are committed to helping students build the passion

and skills they need for reading.

Hawthorn Football Club Tasmanian state manager David Cox said no matter what children aspire to do or be, reading and literacy skills would help get them there.

“Reading is one of those building blocks of life that’s so important in enabling children to realise their full potential,” he said.

“Hawthorn is proud to shoulder some of the responsibility, and opportunity, to encourage and excite kids to take up reading.

“We’ve been part of this community for 21 years,

and we take our role as an organisation that can help improve young Tasmanians’ lives very seriously.”

All Tasmanian students from prep to grade six are encouraged to take part in the challenge, no matter what their reading level.

Parents are also encouraged to get involved, as helping your children choose books, reading to them and listening to them read are great ways to help your child to engage in reading.

All participating students receive a bookmark and go in the weekly draw to win a school visit from the Hawthorn Football Club

mascot, Hawka.

Students who complete the challenge will be awarded a certificate from the Premier and will have the chance to win one of three $100 book prizes.

Participating schools will have a chance to win one of three $500 prizes to buy library books.

Home educators will also have a chance to win a $100 prize to buy books for their home library.

The Premier’s Reading Challenge runs from 26 April until 2 July.

Protecting Tasmania’s SMEs’ cyber defences NORTHERN suburbs small to medium enterprises’ (SMEs) cyber defences are set for a boost with a $600,000 grant to help combat increased ransomware, cyberattacks and data breaches as part of the Federal Government’s CyberUP program.

CyberUP is a business advisory program designed to enable key Tasmanian industry sectors to understand and manage their cyber risks and embed these capabilities within organisations through free awareness training and advice, combined with co-funded implementation services.

As part of the CyberUP for SMEs program, over the next 12 months Tasmanian business The Project Lab is set to deliver 54 public and industryspecific workshops across the state to raise awareness, develop industry-specific cyber risk plans for 500 SMEs, and deliver subsidised high-quality, professional cyber advisory services to 142 businesses across Tasmania.

According to the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), on average there are 164

cybercrime reports are made by Australians every day – about one report every 10 minutes.

Between 1 July 2019 and 30 June 2020, the ACSC responded to 2,266 cybersecurity incidents and received 59,806 cybercrime reports.

Estimates put cyberrelated attacks as costing Australia’s economy about $29 billion per year, or 1.9 per cent of the nation’s GDP. Liberal Senator Eric Abetz, in announcing the grant, said it was very timely given the increased number of data breach notifications attributed to ransomware attacks which had increased by more than 150 per cent compared to the previous six months.

“Given the significant increase in cyberattacks, it is essential that northern suburbs small and medium-sized enterprises are adequately prepared to protect their businesses,” he said.

“CyberUP will increase northern suburbs SMEs’ cyber awareness and capability in managing their cyber security risks by partnering with key industry bodies and business networks

to provide cyber security training, uplift organisational capabilities, and provide professional advisory services to implement change to reduce risk and increase business sustainability.”

“It’s great to see that a Tasmanian business such as The Project Lab can play this important role in helping other Tasmanian businesses protect themselves from cyberattacks, which can cripple businesses and expose sensitive information.”

“With the average cost of a cyber breach in Australia now more than $3 million, ensuring Tasmanian SMEs have contemporary risk management practises in place has never been so important,” The Project Lab’s executive director Joel Harris said.

“The Project Lab will work with Tasmanian peak bodies and business partners to tailor its CyperUP program for a range of Tasmanian industry sectors including medical, finance, tourism and small business to ensure that the program provides real value,” CyberUP program manager Mariae Leckie said.

Virtual reality helping forge future careers AS part of National Careers Week, Guilford Young College recently assisted students to explore future career pathways in a fun and engaging way by utilising virtual reality (VR) technology.

Students at the Glenorchy campus accessed VR headsets from Work Windows to experience what it would be like to work in different types of workplaces.

More than 100 students utilised the VR technology experiencing careers such as fire-fighter, agronomist, physiotherapist and more.

“National Careers Week is about highlighting careers and possibilities available to young people in Tasmania,” Guilford Young College pathways and careers counsellor

Deborah Winton said.

“The college’s careers counselling service provides students the opportunity to plan and navigate their pathways planning moving towards post-year 12 life.

“This initiative provided a taster of careers students may have have ever considered.

“It was an excellent way to actually see what it would be like working in that area or industry.”

Some year 10 students from Dominic College were also invited to experience the virtual reality.

“Dominic College students considered opportunities and chatted about career pathways available to them as they transition to Guilford Young College,” Ms Winton said.

Guilford Young College Glenorchy campus year 12 student Angus McGregor said the experience helped him see what pathways were available to him.

“It was great being able to experience that sort of thing in a very different medium and it was very exciting to see these careers in an interactive way,” he said.

Hundreds gather for Glenorchy ANZAC Day service MORE than 350 people gathered in remembrance on Glenorchy City Council lawns on ANZAC Day during a ceremony hosted by Glenorchy City Council and supported by the State RSL Branch.

People laid wreaths to acknowledge the sacrifices of those who fought for our freedoms.

Last year, COVID-19 prevented an in-person ceremony, so it was wonderful to return to a traditional gathering for 2021.

Attendees were still required to register on

First independent elected to smaller House THE former Mayor of Glenorchy, Kristie Johnston, has become the first independent representative elected to the House of Assembly since it was reduced from 35 seats to 25 in 1998.

In a social media post soon after her election result was confirmed, Ms Johnston thanked the people of Clark for putting their trust and confidence in her to be the one to advocate for the things that they cared about.

She will join Greens leader Cassy O’Connor, Liberal Elise Archer and Labor’s Ella Haddad who retained their seats and were quickly declared elected in Clark, with Liberal Madeleine Ogilvie winning the fifth seat.

The result in Clark, which includes the City of Glenorchy, meant the

Liberals won 13 seats in the 25-seat House of Assembly, the same number they held before the election.

It was an historic result for the Tasmanian Liberal Party that had never before secured three consecutive terms of majority government.

Premier Peter Gutwein said the Liberals had laid out a clear plan to secure Tasmania’s future.

“I thank Tasmanians for showing faith in my government and providing me the privilege of being your Premier and I will not let Tasmanians down,” he said.

Pet Talk Community News

Keep moving for a happy dog The Dog Grumbler IDLE noses are the devil’s playground.

I obviously just made that up, but I think It works.

If your dog smells new things every day — if it does this in your company — it will sleep long and wake happy.

Regular readers will know that I rail against dogs being left at home alone.

This leaves them leaderless, forced into the role of sentry because it’s the only job left to them.

A dog in this position has only instinct for guidance and will try everything it can think of to get some attention.

Many times this attention comes in the form of discipline, provoked by ‘bad’ behaviour.

For many dogs this is better than no interaction at all.

Your dog wants you to make decisions, especially decisions as to where, when and how you travel together.

A short drive to the supermarket and back can make a dog’s day.

Being your companion all day will make its life.

When you travel with your dog, especially on foot, you are cementing your relationship by sharing the same olfactory tapestry — and you are enacting a very important ritual — telling the world that you are a team.

Once your dog learns to stay aware of your location and follow you, one of the most powerful influences you can exert on its behaviour is to walk away.

Of course, there are other factors at play.

Interesting smells and creatures that move the right way will snatch at your dog’s attention — and as with many situations, getting in early is important.

Whatever the attraction, once your dog gets up a head of steam, the recall becomes a bigger challenge.

So keep moving.

If you need your dog to ignore distractions, move faster – if necessary, run.

Your dog will never feel so comfortable as when it travels in your company — under your leadership, so use that to advantage.

If your dog is about to be distracted adversely, get in early, get its attention and walk away.

If this doesn’t work, speed up.

Worst case scenario, run.

I occasionally see an owner jogging through the city with their dog close behind.

In most cases, the human is not in a hurry — just smart.

This way the dog has no time to stop and consider any of the things going on around it.

Off leash and surrounded by tempting distractions, this is the smart course of action — provided your dog has some basic training.

In my experience, dogs who are trained on lead — where the leash is a training aid rather than a tow rope — are happier and more cooperative off lead and vice versa.

You start with travel.

My favourite mode is walking.

Have a route mapped out – one you can shorten if necessary.

Let your dog stop to smell things, then say “Let’s go” or click your tongue or fingers a couple of times, give two short tugs on the lead, pause a second and gently drag your dog in the direction you have in mind.

As soon as your dog finds something new to sniff, give it a few moments to enjoy the new distraction, then do it all again.

Pretty soon tugging is easier.

Pretty soon your dog sees the pattern – you are driving, it’s sticking with you and there’s more olfactory candy ahead.

Go to a dog park or similar and walk around.

Stop and wait for your dog to find you.

Praise it and move on.

After it has come to you and touched base a few times, apply the leash and leave.

Be quick leaving — walk fast.

Do it again, today, next week, ten minutes later — it doesn’t matter.

Keep thinking, “stick with me and smell new things.”

It’s dog training, it’s about repetition and being leader.

There will be times for just kicking back on the grass and breathing the air but don’t let the moss grow.

You have to keep moving or your dog will find its own distractions.

Jezabel 2 Years Old Female #14233

Sass Queen!

Jezabel is an intelligent, affectionate, and sassy young female. She enjoys head and neck scratches, and the company of her family. She is confident and not afraid of strangers. She loves kids and would suit a home with older children who have a good understanding of cat body language. In her previous home, she even chose to sleep on the kids bed and missed the kids when they weren’t home.

While Jezabel loves her people, she does not appreciate the company of other cats and will strictly need to be your only feline at home.

She has a certain intrigue regarding the outdoors and would likely benefit and enjoy access to an outdoor enclosure where she can get fresh air but remain safe and sound.

Another option for controlled access to outdoors would be to train her on a harness and lead.

You can find our more about Jezabel along with all of our kitties available for adoption at tenlives.com.au

Memorial bench unveiled for loved ones A NEW memorial bench has been unveiled by The Compassionate Friends Hobart at Cornelian Bay Cemetery to commemorate the premature loss of a child or sibling.

The bench is one of three that has been set up

by The Compassionate Friends Hobart in Millingtons cemeteries across Hobart – the other two at the Kingston Cemetery and the East Risdon Cemetery.

Each bench has a plaque with contact details for the group and the words, “Loved beyond words, Missed beyond measure” engraved on it.

To raise funds, the group conducted a raffle and raised $1,810 in total, with there being a $200 donation from Palliative Care Tasmania.

About $900 went towards installing the benches and plaques,

while the rest was donated towards The Compassionate Friends Victoria, the group which oversees the Hobart chapter and covers their back-office expenses.

The Compassionate Friends Hobart is a chapter of the worldwide movement of bereaved parents and siblings who support each other through the wrenching, premature loss of a child or sibling.

Together, members of the group find a way to cope with this new reality and rebuild their lives.

The Compassionate Friends Hobart group facilitator Maxine Barry lost her 24-year-old daughter Hannah to a car accident in 2002 and joined the group in Summer the same year.

She said the group has helped her connect with people who have had similar experiences.

“Being in a group with other people and hearing their experiences was just so normalising,” she said.

“It reminds me that it’s a journey and I’m not in the same place that I was at the start where I felt like my heart was being ripped out of my living body.

“There’s no good way to lose a child, but we draw strength from the strengths others show in their sort of predicament.”

Ms Barry said she didn’t like the term moving on as it had the implication that you were going to go back to the way you used to be before your child died.

“We’ll never be the same people, we’ve had to find another way to live our lives that incorporates the loss – that’s always going to be with us until we die,” she said.

“Our grief is where we are closest to our child

Standing from left, Barbara Clarke, Peter Clarke, Don Hird, Rosemary Harwood, Lesley Crook, Ian Crook, Judy O’Brien and Helen Kosmeyer, and sitting from left, Maxine Barry and Margaret Suckling.

because it’s the most recent emotion we’ve had in relation to our child, and if they took the grief away, they would also be taking away the closeness and the love.

“We all have little ways of keeping them

close with us, we’ll carry them with us, both psychologically and practically.”

For Ms Barry, she got a tattoo of the Celtic letter for ‘h’ on the 10year anniversary of her daughter’s death, due

to Hannah’s proud Irish heritage.

Five years later, Ms Barry got another tattoo of a butterfly made out of Hannah’s drawings in the margin of her university work book along with a quote from one of

Hannah’s poems – “We would give all of our long lives for two days of flight.”

If you need support, phone the 24/7 freecall helpline, staffed by bereaved parents, on 1300 064 068.

Interagency established to support current and ex-Defence Force members

Jenell Latham and Sarah Di Martino from Soldier On.

A TASMANIAN Defence Interagency has been established as a way for current and ex-serving members of the Defence Force and their families to connect with likeminded people and organisations to find support.

A Defence and Veterans Services Show was held at the Glenorchy District Football Club on 11 May, where businesses and organisations from across Tasmania showcased their services and could network with each other.

The event was hosted by not-for-profit Soldier

On and Defence Health.

Soldier On pathways officer Sarah Di Martino said the Defence and Veterans Services Show focused on building a network of people to provide support for current and ex-serving members of the Defence Force and their families.

“It’s getting all the organisations within the community that want to work together to support each other network as businesses,” she said.

“It’s building a network and getting everyone together so everyone knows what services are available to them.”

Stallholders at the event included

Nomi the Young Diggers Assistance Doggo.

Defence Health, Soldier On, Rehab Management, Open Arms, Reclink, WISE Employment, Dowsing Point Community Centre, Buddy Up, Defence Special Needs Support Group, Studio Pilates, Women’s Veterans Association, Worksafe, APM NEIS, Mates4Mates, Regis Aged Care, Kameleon, Tafe, Business South Entrepreneur Facilitators and RSL Tas. Ms Di Martino said the event was a success, with there being a plan to hold a meeting once a month for the newly established Tasmanian

Defence Interagency.

“People and businesses can come along and talk about what their organisation is doing at the time and any services they would like to share within the wider community,” she said.

“It’s about building that collaboration, and the more people that work together, the more we can get our services out there and let everyone know who we are and that we’re here to support people.

The next Tasmanian Defence Interagency will be held in mid-June.

PEOPLE with disability across Tasmania will have access to greater support to participate in community activities and strengthen their self-advocacy skills thanks to a $929,000 grant from the Liberal Government.

Disability organisation Speak Out Association of Tasmania has been provided with a grant of up to $929,404 to fund its ‘Peers for Success’ program, which will combine the positive impact of peer

support networks with self-advocacy and empowerment education.

All activities will be codesigned and cofacilitated by people with intellectual disability.

The Peers for Success program will reinvigorate peer-led networks impacted by COVID-19, extend networks and groups in hard to reach environments, upskill people with intellectual disability as peer educators, facilitators and mentors, deliver

the Road to Success Self Advocacy Program, and extend Speak Out’s individualised leadership development program.

Peers for Success will assist more than 350 people and is set to roll out in July.

It will be delivered across the state, with capacity-building activities focusing on areas in the south, north-west, west coast and north of Tasmania.

“People with intellectual

disability have many skills and talents to mentor each other, raise community awareness about issues of importance, and lead change,” Speak Out manager Jenny Dixon said.

“Our Facebook traffic increased by more than 1000 per cent during COVID-19 as people sought support and information, and this grant is a timely investment in working towards the goal for a more inclusive society that enables all Tasmanians to participate in their community.”

Senator Eric Abetz said the program was very significant as one in five Tasmanians were living with a disability.

“Speak Out Association of Tasmania is therefore a much-needed organisation providing personalised advocacy and support to people with intellectual disability across our state,” he said.

“COVID-19 has had a negative impact on connectedness, motivation, independence and empowerment for people with disability, and this grant will greatly advance the chances of people with disabilities living an ordinary life, developing a positive sense of knowing who they are, as well as their value and rights.”

The grant is being delivered under the Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) grants program.

ILC provides funding to organisations to deliver projects in the community that benefit all Australians with disability, their carers and families.

A FINANCIAL MOMENT Services Australia’s Financial Information Service Hank Jongen General Manager Services Australia DID you know Services Australia offers a number of specialist services you can access for free?

One I often refer people to is the Financial Information Service (FIS).

FIS provides free, independent and confidential information, as well as tools and resources to help you make informed decisions about your current and future financial needs.

FIS is available to everyone, not just people getting government payments and services.

The service helps people of all ages and circumstances, to make

informed decisions about their finances, particularly people with complex financial situations, or those who are financially vulnerable.

Financial Information Service officers are specialist staff who are available through a national phone service.

They’re located across the country in more than 130 Services Australia service centres, and have an expert understanding of income support payments and financial matters.

FIS officers can help you if you’re managing a change in your circumstances, like being newly employed, being made redundant, dealing with an illness

or disability, becoming a parent, getting divorced or becoming a carer.

They can help people who want to save for the future, are returning to work, thinking about or preparing for retirement, receiving compensation payments, or thinking about moving into aged care.

FIS officers can explain: how financial products work how government payments work resources that may help you with your financial matters.

They provide tailored financial information, education and support.

However, they’re not financial planners or

financial counsellors, so they won’t promote or provide advice on purchasing investment products.

FIS officers also won’t make decisions about your payments.

To speak to the Financial Information Service, phone 132 300.

Say ‘Financial Information Service’, when prompted for the reason of your call.

This will take you through to a FIS officer who will help you with your situation.

Depending on your circumstances, the FIS officer may book a further face-to-face interview for you, in or near your local Services Australia service centre.

Community News

Scavenger hunt provides voice to community GLENORCHY City Council has used a scavenger hunt as a fun way to engage people with disabilities to help improve the city.

About 70 people participated in the hunt, designed as a tool for people with learning challenges to provide feedback to council on ideas for improvement.

Glenorchy City Council access and inclusion officer Elisa Ryan said the scavenger hunt was about giving people with different abilities the opportunity to have input on how to make Glenorchy more accessible and inclusive.

“We want people of all abilities to be able to get to places they want to get to in Glenorchy, get the information they need, and to also feel they belong in the community,” she said.

“People had to go

around the local area and find a footpath, playground, carpark, among other things, and give us some ideas on how to improve those, and they could do it in a lot of different ways.

“They were able to do it in their own time and it was a way to get some really unique input that we wouldn’t have otherwise got through a survey.”

The feedback will be used by council for ideas for improvement on access issues in the city.

“It’s important to give people lots of different opportunities to engage because not everybody sees information or gives information the same,” Ms Ryan said.

“These people who live, play or visit a service in Glenorchy, they are users of the infrastructure, facilities and services we

have in Glenorchy, so it’s really important for them to have a say on how we can improve those things directly.”

The participants gathered at Benjafield Park at the end of the scavenger hunt for a fun day of activities and games.

The Glenorchy Lions Club put on a free barbecue, while Reclink Australia held some cricket and football games.

Everyone that participated in the hunt was given a certificate.

Able Tasmania disability support worker Trudi Burr said the participants really enjoyed the hunt and the chance to meet up with friends from different organisations.

“We’re really looking forward to seeing what improvements council can make with this feedback,” she said.

Employment and wellbeing program for Veterans RSL Tasmania is seeking veterans and employers to be a part of a program to provide holistic and comprehensive support to address the unique challenges faced when transitioning from a defence career into a civilian workforce.

The RSL Employment Program, run in conjunction with RSL Queensland, was launched in mid-May, and will look to assist many Tasmanian veterans and their partners in finding employment.

RSL Tasmania state president Robert Dick said former Defence personnel had a wealth of skills and experience

that benefited civilian businesses, from technical and trade qualifications to corporate leadership.

“Every year in Australia, around 5,500 defence personnel leave the military for various reasons and unfortunately, a proportion of veterans struggle to find and maintain work,” he said.

“Veteran welfare is at the heart of everything RSL Tasmania does and we welcome this comprehensive and holistic approach to addressing a major issue for our Defence family.

“When employers hire a veteran, they are hiring a committed employee who embodies team

spirit, has a strong work ethic and is both an effective leader and team member.”

The industry-leading RSL Employment Program not only helps veterans, but offers an array of supporting services such as financial counselling, employment for partners and mental health support to empower veterans to remain in work.

The roll out of the RSL’s Employment Program across the country has been made possible through a $6 million grant from the Australian Government, through the Enhanced Employment Support for Veterans grants program.

“We have a case navigator employed to run the program and she has hit the ground running in the program’s early days,” Mr Dick said.

“We are promoting the program through Ex Service Organisations (ESOs) and RSL sub-branches throughout Tasmania.

“The RSL Employment Program won’t work without the help of employers and we are speaking extensively with employers and employee groups to ensure the success of the two-year initiative.”

For more information about the RSL Employment Program, visit rslemployment.com.au.

Have your say on the budget WITH the release of its 2021/22 budget only a few weeks away, Glenorchy City Council is giving the community the opportunity to talk to them about what’s included in it and how it affects them.

On Wednesday 16 June, council will host a ‘town hall’ style event at KGV from 4:30pm until 6pm to present the draft 2021/22 budget before it is considered by council

Braving the cold for mental health

Conversations about Suicide training for Glenorchy community

A NEW chilly initiative is encouraging the Tasmanian community to don their best pair of shorts and speak out to seek help.

‘Shorts Day’ is an initiative from SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY and will be held on Monday 21 June.

SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY founder Mitch McPherson said Shorts

Day aimed to spark conversations in the Tasmanian community about mental health as well as raise funds.

“This will be our first Shorts Day encouraging the Tasmanian community to continue conversations about mental health,” he said.

“We want Tasmanians to wear shorts on the shortest day of the year

to work or to school, or host a fundraiser.

“Together, braving the cold and braving the conversation around mental health.”

Mr McPherson said Shorts Day was an innovative and impactful way to bring the Tasmanian community together.

“SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY has

sparked thousands of conversations in the past eight years, but we want to go bigger,” he said.

“We created Shorts Day to stand unified in breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide.”

Mr McPherson said the Winter date of Shorts Day was significant.

“This is an opportunity for us to show the community that it might be a bit uncomfortable to be cold, just as it might be uncomfortable to start a conversation about mental health,” he said.

“But Shorts Day represents an opportunity for us to do it together, as a community.”

Funds raised on the day will help SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY continue their work promoting positive mental health and preventing suicide.

MENTAL Health Families and Friends Tasmania, together with Mental Health Council Tasmania and Bec Thomas from Rising Kind, delivered Mental Health First Aid ‘Conversations About Suicide’ training for the Glenorchy community.

Data from the Tasmanian Population Health Survey reveals more than one in 10 (11 per cent) of Tasmanians experience high or very high levels of psychological distress.

Poor mental health can lead to suicidal thoughts, as can interpersonal stressors such as relationship breakdown, family conflict or job loss, or chronic pain or illness.

It is crucial that everyday people in our community are aware of the risk factors and warning signs that someone may be suicidal, feel confident in directly asking someone if they are thinking about ending their life and

know when, where and how to link people to professional help.

The training was facilitated by Rising Kind founder and acting Mayor of Glenorchy Bec Thomas, with participants receiving a Conversations About Suicide guidebook and a Certificate of Completion.

Ms Thomas found Rising Kind in early 2019, with the aim of promoting mental health and increasing the reach of MHFA and suicide prevention training among everyday people in local communities.

She has seen firsthand how Conversations About Suicide training not only changes people’s attitudes, but also their willingness and ability to help.

She said the training provided long lasting knowledge and skills to participants and is proven to reduce stigma and increase help-giving behaviours.

“Evaluations show that

participants are more likely to help and support others experiencing suicidal thoughts as a result of the training.

“They also commonly pass on their knowledge and skills to others, more broadly increasing understanding of suicidal thoughts and behaviours and reducing judgement and fear.

“We all have a role to play in suicide prevention and Conversations About Suicide training empowers people to save lives – like CPR for the mind.

“It also raises awareness of the local services available to help people experiencing suicidal thoughts and how to link people to these services.”

The four and a half hour training course covered myths and facts about suicide, risk factors and warning signs, and the action plan for assisting someone who is experiencing suicidal thoughts.

Cat out of the bag for Terrapin’s schools tour TERRAPIN puppeteers have been busy rehearsing in studio for the launch of its 2021 schools tour program of ‘Scaredy Cat’, which will premiere in more than 65 Tasmanian schools around the state in terms three and four.

Scaredy Cat tells the story of a rodent-hunting cat who is afraid of mice.

Terrapin Artistic Director Sam Routledge said the schools tour marks Terrapin’s return to inschool programming after being forced to postpone planned visits in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We’re thrilled to be returning to tour Tasmanian schools in 2021,” he said.

“Visiting schools is a critical part of our work in reaching audiences in all corners of the state.

“This year we’ll even be travelling to Flinders Island, bringing performance and workshops to students there.”

Terrapin’s schools tour will reach 15,000 students this year, having visited more than 180 schools in the past 15

years.

Terrapin has also welcomed Blundstone as its new Access Partner.

Blundstone’s support will allow Terrapin to grow the reach of the tour to 14 additional schools in remote and regional locations, bring Scaredy Cat to 4000 extra students.

“As a proud Tasmanian family business, we are pleased to support the work of Terrapin and to assist more kids around Tasmania to have the chance to experience and enjoy their creativity,” Blundstone joint chief executive officer Adam Blake said.

“Since we started in 1870, we have sought to be a positive and contributing member of our local community.

“We are thrilled to be a part of taking this world-class troupe to all the corners of our island home.”

Scaredy Cat, written

by Finn O’Branagain, is a funny, fantastical story of courage and friendship across generations.

Terrapin resident designer Bryony Ander-

son has created a cast of lively puppet characters that includes Scaredy Cat, three marauding mice and creaking, elderly furniture.

Puppeteer Felicity Horsley said she was really excited to visit schools across the state and per-

form for students.

“I think the beautiful thing about performance in general is the level of characters and animating, and having characters come to life,” she said.

“Here we have an arm chair and kitchen cabinet come to life – we’re

making the inanimate animate, and I think that’s something children’s imaginations are able to do really easily.

“You need to have not only the physical skill to animate the puppet, but also be able to bring that level of emotion that the

cat is going to go through and show the transformative journey it goes through.”

Terrapin has been touring Tasmanian schools since its inception.

Established in 1981, the company is known for innovation and quality.

Its core activity is the creation of new original works of contemporary puppetry for children, families and intergenerational audiences.

Beyond its school program, Terrapin creates work for theatres, festivals and public spaces.

The wellbeing of elderly people is very important for everybody.

We’d like to stay healthy; we’d like to stay well. I would suggest to anyone, no matter what age group — get it done.

PROGRAM PROMOTES PARALYMPIC SPORTS

Taroona High School students participate in wheelchair basketball.

A NEW program showcasing Paralympic sports has been introduced to schools to give students a different outlook on sports.

ParaQuad Tasmania’s elite athletes will teach students four sports wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball, goalball and boccia - and then give them the opportunity to participate in them.

The program will run during terms two and three for years seven to 12.

Each session runs for one hour.

ParaQuad Tasmania

sports development coordinator Kevin Faulkner said the program would give students the opportunity to try different sports and learn new skills.

“It’s giving students a whole new look and idea at Paralympic sports and showing just how difficult they are,” he said.

“It is raising awareness and education of Paralympic sports, and is also letting the kids know that Paralympians are elite athletes - they train for years to make a Paralympic Games.”

Mr Faulkner said the program was especially

significant in helping promote the Paralympic Games later in the year.

“We want the students to get involved by supporting our Paralympians,” he said.

Information for teachers and activities for students are also available at https://education. paralympic.org.au/.

Wheelchair basketball has featured at every Paralympic Games since 1960, while sitting volleyball is one of the games’ more fast-paced sports.

Goalball is a sport exclusively for athletes with a vision impairment,

with the objective being to roll a ball into the opponent’s goal while the opposing player try to block the ball with their bodies.

Bells inside the ball help to orientate the players by indicating the direction of the incoming ball.

Boccia made its debut as a Paralympic sport in 1984 and involves athletes competing in wheelchairs to throw, kick or use a ramp device to propel leather balls as close as possible to a white ball called the jack.

ParaQuad Tasmania also offers the

Wheelchair Sports in Schools program and the Body Safe Education Program which discusses risk taking behaviours

and the prevention of spinal cord injury and physical trauma.

For more information or to get your school

involved, phone Mr Faulkner on 6272 7513 or 0412 463 387, or email pdst@paraquadtas. org.au.
