Community News GROUP GOES BEYOND TO EXPRESS CREATIVITY FROM FRONT PAGE
To celebrate the creativity of its members, the group is hosting its biennial exhibition at the Long Gallery from 22 September to 4 October. Out of Hand Exhibition coordinator Karen Stack said it would showcase the diverse talents and abilities of a diverse range of people. “People in our group have such varied talents,” she said. “We don’t cover just quilting or embroidery, it encompasses a lot of things. “People are so helpful in sharing their ideas and what they know, as well as encouraging you.” The exhibition will include woven baskets, embroidery items, quilts,
shoes, bags, books, costumes, work from paper makers and artists, plus many more wares. The exhibition will also include challenges pieces from 2020 and 2021 in the side space gallery. The challenge pieces were based on a theme, with 2020 being about the theme of ‘Emerge’ and the 2021 theme being ‘Black and White + One’. “It’s amazing the variety and number of pieces we’ve got just based on Black and White + One because you can interpret the one as either being an object or a colour – the possibilities are endless,” she said. “Hopefully we’ll also have some people working in the space, so people can see the progress that we go through.”
Stitching and Beyond members meet once a month at the Kingston Library – Learning Centre, 8 Hutchins Street, Kingston for share and tell. “People will show us what they’ve done and we have a bit of a talk about that, and if someone wants to show us a technique, we’ll spend some time doing that,” Stitching and Beyond committee member Jude Walker said. “People join for the company and the like mindedness – we all enjoy doing the same things. “We’re creative people and we like to share, teach and learn. “It’s nice to show our stuff to other people and then get feedback.” Entry is free, but a gold coin donation is welcomed.

St Vincent de Paul is desperate for donations of non-perishable food and other essential items, and Ms Johnston has made her electorate office in Glenorchy available as a collection point. “Winter is a terribly difficult time for many people, especially those
who find themselves in situations where they cannot afford to buy food or simple things like soap and toothpaste,” Ms Johnston said. “Tasmania is in the midst of a housing crisis, and it’s not just those living on the streets that can’t afford to eat. “There are people and families out there who don’t have any money
left to put food on the table once they pay rent, electricity, water, medications and other essentials.” St Vincent de Paul is looking for donations of non-perishable items such as canned soup, fruit, long-life milk, pasta and breakfast cereal, along with personal products like shampoo, razors, soap and toothpaste.

TEAMING UP TO SHINE A LIGHT ON MENTAL HEALTH WEST Moonah Community House and Rotary Health are hosting their ‘Shine a Light on Mental Health’ Wellness Breakfast on Thursday 7 October with a special guest set to talk about their experiences. Australian of the Year and advocate for survivors of sexual assault Grace Tame will talk at the event about how under Tasmania’s sexual assault victim gag laws, she couldn’t legally speak out
about her experience – despite the perpetrator and media being free to do so. “Grace has demonstrated extraordinary courage – using her voice to push for legal reform and raise public awareness about the impacts of sexual violence,” West Moonah Community House assistance manager Kaye Marskell said. “Come and hear this courageous woman as she
speaks of a problem that won’t go away unless it’s discussed.” The event will be held at Gleny Albyn (380 Channel Highway, Taroona) from 7am to 9am. Tickets cost $70 per head and include a hot breakfast. A discount applies for a table of 10. A silent auction will also be held. Funds raised from the event will go towards
employing a counsellor at the West Moonah Community House and towards research projects at University of Tasmania. Sponsors of the event include Blundstone, Mental Health Council of Tasmania, Run the Bridge, West Moonah Community House and Rotary Tasmania. To purchase a ticket, visit https://westmoonahcommunityhouse.com/ upcoming-activities/.

New clubrooms for historical military society
Historical Arms and Military Society of Tasmania members with Independent Member for Clark Kristie Johnston.
THE Historical Arms and Military Society of Tasmania (HAMST) has opened its new clubrooms at the disbanded Glenorchy RSL Bowls Club and accompanying grounds with support from Glenorchy City Council. HAMST president Stephen Denholm said the society, which has more than 100 members, was actively involved in the community, reliving military history through stories, reenactments, displays and commemorations of significant events. “The move into the new clubrooms enables HAMST to have a
permanent home to house all our militaria artefacts and vehicles under one roof,” he said. “We intend to develop a permanent display for the general community to examine and appreciate on specific HAMST open days throughout each year. “The clubrooms are comfortable and spacious, and HAMST is keen to share the facilities and have already secured regular tenants – HAMST is keen to expand this to other likeminded groups.” Mr Denholm said the new clubrooms would benefit the society as
well as the individual members. “The consolidation of HAMST into the new clubrooms is significant as it will allow the society to continue to grow, expand and attract younger members of the community, ensuring the memory and sacrifice of those who have gone before them are never forgotten,” he said. Independent Member for Clark Kristie Johnston opened the new club, unveiling a plaque with Mr Denholm and Member for Lyons John Tucker. “It’s very important the sacrifices of our brave men and women are
never forgotten and with the opening of these new clubrooms there is now a permanent home to preserve and promote the stories and artefacts for generations to come,” she said. “The clubrooms were previously occupied by the Glenorchy RSL Bowling Club, but with support and generosity of the Glenorchy City Council, HAMST now has a home where it can grow, expand and potentially attract younger members of the community.” For more information, visit www. stephendenholm.wixsite. com/hamst.

Bringing Canberra to Holy Rosary Catholic School
Federal independent Member for Clark Andrew Wilkie with grade six students at Holy Rosary School in Claremont.
DESPITE the Holy Rosary Catholic School’s grade six trip to Canberra being cancelled because of COVID-19, students still got a taste of Federal Parliament when an elected representative from the national capital visited the school. Federal Independent Andrew Wilkie shared his parliamentary knowledge with students at the school in Claremont, which sits within his southern Tasma-
nian electorate of Clark. The school’s trip to Canberra, which is a rite of passage for many Tasmanian youngsters stepping up from primary to high school, was not possible this year because of COVID-19 concerns. An excursion to State Parliament was also called off. Mr Wilkie spent an afternoon fielding questions from students as part of their democracy unit.
Held in the school hall, the Winter session included a role play covering how a Bill is introduced and debated in Federal Parliament before it becomes law. “I regularly take classes at schools in the electorate and my annual visit to Holy Rosary has become a highlight in my calendar,” Mr Wilkie said. “The role play is always fun and a really important opportunity for the
students to see and learn about the functioning of a parliament. “Last year and this year, the role playing was particularly important because the Holy Rosary trip to Canberra was cancelled on account of COVID. “I especially applaud the school staff, who go to some considerable trouble to ensure the event goes off every year without a hitch.”
Holy Rosary School captains, from left, Riley McCreghan and Mikayla Wilton, with Federal Independent Member for Clark Andrew Wilkie, and school vice-captains Ella Cunningham and Josh Gunn.
NATIONAL TILES OPENS NEW SUPERSTORE IN CAMBRIDGE NATIONAL Tiles, one of Australia’s most iconic tile, timber and stone retailers, is set to make its mark in Hobart with the opening of a flagship showroom and trade mega store in Cambridge. When National Tiles’ founder Frank Walker first launched the business in 1979, he did so with one small store in Geelong West in Victoria. The business quickly grew with several stores across Melbourne, as well as a few franchise stores. Under the leadership of new chief executive
officer Campbell Stott, National Tiles operates 38 stores and franchises in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Queensland. The business is now celebrating entering the Tasmanian market. After supporting a number of local builders with tiles from Melbourne, the team discovered the vacant K&D hardware store in Cambridge, and at around 3,500 square metres with plenty of parking, it was the ideal property for making an entrance into the
market. “The Cambridge home-makers centre has long been a destination for shoppers wanting to rejuvenate their home, with the addition of National Tiles it has taken the next step in becoming the one-stop shop for all home makeover and renovation needs,” National Tiles Hobart Store manager Andrew Long said. “Our spacious showroom has plenty of designs to choose from and our friendly team are always here to help.
“National Tiles also supplies most major and small domestic builders in Tasmania, helping to pave the way for the growth and development of our beautiful island state.” Mr Stott said the store would be convenient to its Hobart customers. “We believe that our onsite stock availability will significantly alleviate the traditionally long lead time Tasmanian shoppers have faced in getting tiles and flooring. “The depth and breadth of our range combined with our
design offering, low prices and first-class customer service will be a welcome addition to the market. “Importantly, National Tiles has created employment opportunities for Tasmanians who bring their knowledge of the area and their local expertise to help support our growth in this new arena.” Mr Stott said the store would offer everything customers were looking for with a multi-layered approach. “As well as a pick-up
facility where customers can collect their tile purchases on the day, there is trade drivethrough and trade shop which covers all trade and DIY needs. “The stunning showroom has an unbeatable retail and commercial offering of tiles and a significant focus on timber flooring. “We will be working very closely with local architects, builders and interior designers with in-house personalised consultations with our design team and showcasing market leading
technology on site. “National Tiles is more than just a business, we are a family. “We acknowledge our humble beginnings while always looking to the future. “Our core values are centred around respect, teamwork, customer commitment, innovation and a relentless desire for improvement which keeps us on target as the ultimate tile, timber and stone destination.” National Tiles is now open for business at 66 Kennedy Drive, Cambridge.

Tragically in Tasmania, around Australia, and around the world some children grow up in families where their parents are unable to keep them safe. The first two weeks of September bring light to both the need to protect childhood and to celebrate foster and kinship carers who step into children’s lives to be a family for them. This isn’t a time for blame or shame, these weeks are times to reflect on childhood and what it means to be a kid and what kind of world we want our children growing up in. Recently the Tasmanian Government released its strategy “It takes a village” and reflected on the importance of family and community for our children to enjoy childhood and thrive. The theme for National Child Protection Week is Every child, in every community, needs a fair go and to do this, we need to make sure every family and community has what
kids need to thrive and be healthy. National Child Protection Week is 5 to 11 September and is quickly followed by Foster Carers Week. Foster Carers Week raises awareness about foster care in the wider community, and the events held during the week celebrate and appreciate the amazing foster and kinship carers in our community and the invaluable contribution they are making to the lives of vulnerable children and young people and the community. Both weeks are a chance for each of us to think about the children and families in our communities and if we are offering a village. It is more than just thinking about addressing child abuse and neglect but thinking about how we can support families before then. In Tasmania more than 1000 children are growing up in out of home care, that is in foster and kinship care families, and even more are growing up in informal care arrangements. Foster and kinship carers are regular people in our community who step forward to be a family for a child who needs one. In Tasmania and nationally, we have a shortage of foster and kinship carers and this is a great time
to consider whether you could be a carer. Carers can be longterm, respite, or emergency and we need all types! Being a carer isn’t easy, but an absolute privilege to step into a child’s life for as long as you need to. Carers can be any age and stage of life, they can be working or home full time, they can own their home or be renting, they can be single or in a couple, they can be grandparents or never had had their own children. Children need families and you just need to be willing to offer a family for a child. My husband and I are local foster carers in Hobart. We began fostering when our sons were two and four years old and welcomed a new born into our home, about 17 months later we welcomed his little brother and now we have a home of five boys, two biological and three in care. Fostering is part of our story as my husband’s mum grew up in foster care and it was a positive placement for just three months of her life that helped reshape her identity and changed the trajectory of her life. Fostering has shaped the lives of all five boys as they see the world around them differently, they understand trauma behaviour and where

this comes from, they see broken families and know this is no one’s fault, but that each person in the fostering journey needs care and community. Really fostering is just being a family for a child that needs one, we all deserve to know we are lovable and can love others and be able to dream for the future, foster kids
are just regular kids and we can be their family. Many of you are already playing your part every day – as individuals, as community members, as volunteers and as workers – to help create these great communities for children. When we do this together we can give ‘every child, in every neighbour-
hood, a fair go’. If you are interested in finding out more about foster care in southern Tasmania, you can contact a foster care agency: Department of Communities www.communities.tas.gov.au/children-youth-and-families/ oohc/foster-care Kennerley Children’s Home www.kennerley-

New MCMF manager appointed THE Murdoch Clarke Mortgage Fund (MCMF) has appointed former long-term ANZ manager Ben Wallace to manage its $325 million fund. After 33 years in various roles with the ANZ, including starting as a teller, moving into back office administration, branch management and senior lending roles, Mr Wallace said it was time for a change.
“We (MCMF) are definitely implementing a growth strategy,” he said. “Both in terms of the number of investors and borrowers we have, as well as the overall fund balance. “Though we are Hobartbased, we are expanding into the north of the state, and are currently fitting out a Launceston office to be opened in the next few months.”
Mr Wallace said MCMF delivered a more simplified lending process for its borrowers and took pride in providing personal and efficient service to its investors and borrowers. “MCMF covers off some of the areas that the major banks won’t cover such as Property Development and SMSF Loans,” he said. “We will provide a loan
of up to 66.6 per cent of the value of residential, rural residential or commercial property, up to 60 per cent of the value of a rural property and up to 50 per cent of the value of hotels or specialised security. “And we use clear, simple to understand language about what we can and can’t do as well as providing options. “MCMF loans are
interest only. “Interest is payable quarterly in arrears, which is good for cash flow.” Mr Wallace said from an investment perspective, the fund delivered great return on funds. “At the time of writing, our investment interest rate was 2.47 per cent, which is significantly better than other current rates available in the market,” he said.

DEFIBRILLATOR PARTNERSHIP
Tasmanian Indian community celebrates 75 years of independence THE Tasmanian Indian Community recently celebrated a significant milestone, celebrating their 75th Independence Day, by honouring traditional culture and heritage. Every year on 15 August, Indians all over the world celebrate Independence Day, and
for greater Hobart, the event was held at the Hobart City Hall. “For any country, its Independence Day is always a memorable occasion – the day to rejoice in the glory of what their country has achieved and also a day to remember the contributions, battles and
sacrifices of all the people who helped achieve freedom,” Indian Cultural Society of Tasmania secretary Satendra Bhola said. “This milestone event was attended by around 300 community members along with a number of prominent dignitaries.”

COMMUNITY Based Support (CBS) has received three defibrillator machines for use in its social hubs state-wide. CBS chief executive officer Allyson Warrington said the defibrillator machines were funded by a major donation from Hobart Friendly Care Pharmacies. “These first three defibrillator machines will enable us to respond to any emergency situation as they arise in the three locations,” she said. “We are placing one machine in our main
office in Moonah, the New Town hub and the third in our new hub in Riverside. “We will also be buying more defibrillator machines to be placed in our Launceston office and Kingston hub.” Group Pharmacy manager of the Hobart Friendly Care Pharmacies Matt Luciani said the organisation would look to continue to support Community Based Support. “We identified Community Based Support as an
organisation operating in a sector we support – the more vulnerable in our community, being the aged care and people living with disability,” he said. “We want to develop a long-term partnership with Community Based Support and our donation was able to provide them with something they needed for their social hubs and office.” Community Based Support, based in Moonah, cares for 3,500 aged care and disability clients statewide.

The cultural event included sharing of cultural food and speeches by dignitaries such as Her Excellency, the Honourable Barbara Baker AC, Governor of Tasmania. Dancers and solo performers also took to the stage to highlight the cultural creativity of India and celebrate 75 years of independence. Attorney-General and local Liberal Member for Clark Elise Archer also joined the Tasmanian Indian community to mark the important milestone. “It was a great pleasure to be able to join with our local Indian community for this very important day in history,” Ms Archer said. “I was honoured to be given the opportunity to represent the Tasmanian Government and participate in the traditional lighting of the lamp as part of the festivities. “As a local Member of Parliament and as Attorney-General, I have worked closely with our local Indian community, assisting wherever possible and provided local support to their many causes and issues. “Congratulations to the Indian Cultural Society of Tasmania for their work since 1972 uniting our South East Asian community in Hobart, and for sharing their culture which helps create more understanding in our community of cultural diversity. “I applaud the Indian Cultural Society of Tasmania for their efforts holding this spectacular and important cultural event after not being able to hold their usual celebration last year due to COVID-19.”

Ogilvie students volunteer at City Mission Op Shops OGILVIE High School students celebrated National Student Volunteer Week in August by volunteering at City Mission Op Shops in Moonah. National Student Volunteer Week ran from 9 to 15 August, and acknowledged and celebrated the positive impact that student volunteers have on communities. The students from Ogilvie High School were involved in the Big Picture Program, which is an Australia-wide program that facilitates student directed learning in schools. Hobart Big Picture Learning has implemented an innovative design for learning. At the heart of the design is a departure from traditional ‘appointment learning’ where everyone learns the same things according to a fixed timetable inside the four walls of a school. The Big Picture Program nurtures creativity, curiosity and

independence. It also includes a work experience component, which the students completed at City Mission Op Shops. Ogilvie High School year 10 student Louise Patterson was one of the students involved in the program. “It was great to challenge myself in doing something new,” Louise said. “I really liked building my confidence by talking to customers and other volunteers. “I also learnt how to build displays, dress mannequins and even use the register. “All these things will be so helpful for me in the future when I try to gain some part time work.” Hobart City Mission is supported by more than 450 volunteers, most of which work at one of the nine City Mission Op Shops in southern Tasmania. Hobart City Mission often connects with student volunteers and corporate groups to offer
a unique volunteering experience that provides a way for organisations to give back to their community. “Volunteering is a great way to connect people from all walks of life,” Hobart City Mission chief executive officer John Stubley said. “We are thrilled that we can offer schools and students a place to learn new skills, make connections in their community, and give them vital work experience. “We could not do the work we do in the community without our amazing team of volunteers. “We are very grateful to these students and their school for dedicating their time to help people in their local community.” For more information about volunteering at Hobart City Mission as an individual, school or corporate group, contact Sara Shepherd at sshepherd@ hobartcitymission.org.au or phone 6215 4200.

OPPORTUNITIES CELEBRATED ON NATIONAL TAFE DAY TASTAFE staff, students and communities celebrated the opportunities created for Tasmanians through the public education institution on National TAFE Day TasTAFE has a proud history of giving Tasmanians the tools they need to get into the workforce – be they hairdressers, home care providers, mechanics or baristas, a lot of people know and engage with someone who has thrived at TAFE. Recognising National TAFE Day on 11 August, the Australian Education Union (AEU) hosted celebrations for staff and students at TasTAFE campuses across the state. AEU Tasmania President David Genford said it was vital to recognise the positive role TAFE played in
the community and the pathways it provided for Tasmanians. “It’s great to see so many Tasmanians given a career path to follow through TAFE – whether that’s as an electrician, childcare worker, plumber or a hairdresser the opportunities are farreaching,” he said. “TAFE gives chances for students who don’t wish to follow a university pathway. “It provides industryrecognised courses led by passionate teachers. “Every member of our community deserves the opportunity of a highquality education and all the benefits that will bring them. “At TAFE, that’s what they get.” Member for Elwick and Shadow Minister for TAFE Josh Willie joined celebrations at
the TasTAFE Campbell Street campus. “I joined in National TAFE Day celebrations to hear first hand from teachers and staff about the high-quality education and training provided by TasTAFE,” Mr Willie said. “It was also an opportunity to hear the thoughts of teachers and students about current proposals to changes on TasTAFE governance structures. “TasTAFE, as an effective government lead training provider, has given thousands of Tasmanians undeniable success and life-long career paths to key service industries necessary to the success of our communities. “Critical industries like health services, construction and childcare that we simply cannot risk.”

SHIPLOADS STORES COMBAT CARDIAC ARREST WITH DEFIBRILLATORS SHIPLOADS has worked closely with St John Ambulance to install Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) in its stores across the state. There are 13 Shiploads stores across the state, as well as a warehouse and office at Cambridge, with each one now having been installed with an AED. Shiploads managing director Ashley Wilson said a Shiploads store recently had an incident that required the use of a defibrillator, and it highlighted the need for early access to an AED was vital in Shiploads stores. “We have registered the AEDs with Ambulance Tasmania, so they are available for members of the public, as well as the crew of Shiploads,” he said. “The easy access app
‘AED Tas’ is a vital link for members of the public to quickly find and access the life-saving support of an AED. “Shiploads values AEDs as another way to assist and connect with the Tasmanian community and urge other businesses to contact St John Ambulance to discuss how an AED can be installed in their business.” St John Ambulance Tasmanian commercial operations manager Jeremy Bosworth said additional defibrillators in communities were needed. “With the chance of survival of sudden cardiac arrest dropping, without CPR and defibrillation, at approximately 10 per cent per minute, getting CPR underway and a defib on the chest within
the first three to five minutes is paramount to saving a life,” he said. “More AEDs in the Tasmanian community equates to more defibrillators within five minutes of a sudden cardiac arrest victim. “St John Ambulance encourages places of business and residences to contemplate including the provision of a defibrillator for their workforce, customers and wider communities. “Once in place, opening up the accessibility of their defibrillators by listing them on the ‘Early Access to Defibrillation Program’ is a great way of building community resilience and saving lives.” With approximately 30,000 Australians dying from sudden cardiac arrest every year, Mr Bosworth said St
John Ambulance was committed to increasing sudden cardiac arrest survival rates and were proud to have launched the St John G5 Defibrillator. “The G5 Defibrillator uses advanced audio and video to guide first time users to apply defibrillation quickly and correctly,” he said. “A unique feature of this unit is the Australian accented audio prompts that helps calm the rescuer and ensure instruction is relatable and easy to act upon in a stressful situation. “The harsh reality is that without effective CPR and the use of a defibrillator, a person in sudden cardiac arrest will not survive, but with defibrillation and CPR they have up to a 70 per cent chance of surviving.” From left, Shiploads managing director Ashley Wilson and St John Ambulance Tasmanian commercial operations manager Jeremy Bosworth.

IN a spectacular display of creativity and talent, more than 150 students from Dominic College performed in a range of dance pieces, concert bands, choirs, and ensembles in the recent Dominic Music and Dance Showcase. The annual Showcase, held at the Guilford Young Creative Arts Centre, was an opportunity for students to perform in a professional capacity to a large audience to showcase the work they had been undertaking in their music and dance classes throughout the year. “The work of students was of a high calibre and the Showcase featured their capacity to challenge themselves individually and collectively,” Dominic principal Beth Gilligan said. Students in years seven to 10 at Dominic College can choose electives of private tuition in a range of Creative Arts. Specialist teachers and visiting tutors work with students to provide enrich-
ing learning experiences, and help build personal capabilities and skill. Performances are aimed at both college occasions and participation in Eisteddfods. The K-10 Faculty of Creative Arts at the college comprises Visual Arts, Music, Drama, Dance and Media Arts. The Arts are also integrated in the kindergarten and prep curriculum, with specialist music classes commencing in kindergarten. In years one to six, students have specialist Music and Art in their curriculum. Specialist Drama begins for students in year three and culminates in a self-devised performance project in year six. In the year five to six Band Program, every student learns an instrument and plays in a band. “This model of early specialisation in the arts is possible because the college is K-10 on one site and the benefits of early exposure to the arts has
been particularly evident in our Band Development Program and Drama productions,” Ms Gilligan said. She said that Creative Arts Scholarships at the year seven entry level provided further opportunities for students who were passionate about the Arts to focus on nurturing their talents under the guidance of experienced and dedicated teachers. The school also hosted its Biennial Creative Arts Festival, which showcased an exhibition of student visual art and media. “Last year, the festival was unable to proceed as planned due to COVID-19, but this year it made a confident comeback providing the opportunity for the college to offer a snapshot of the creative activity that occured on a day-to-day basis from prekindergarten to year 10,” Ms Gilligan said. The Salamanca Arts Centre, the cultural hub of Hobart, became home
to Dominic’s students for a week. Artwork by students from all years was displayed in the Long Gallery, and the flagship Drama production, traditionally presented in the Peacock Theatre, was ‘Hard Times’ by Charles Dickens. “This piece was chosen to challenge our performers and also introduce our audiences to the work of the most celebrated storyteller of the Victorian era,” Dominic Creative Arts director Mike O’Brien said. “It is always rewarding to see young people discover the delights of Dickens as they unpack the complexities and humour of his works. “The showcase and festival provided excellent opportunities for our students to shine beyond their own community. “When looking back, many of our students and Old Scholars name this occasion as a highlight of their time at Dominic.”

YOU NEED TO BELIEVE The Dog Grumbler FAITH plays a large part in the dog/human relationship. A dog can’t really survive without humans — it has to trust a human who leaves food to provide the next meal. It has to trust that human to behave the same way in the same situation every time so it can fit — as much as possible— into every aspect of their life. It has to have faith in a human to be pleased and displeased by the same things regularly and this faith must be earned. Good dog trainers behave consistently within their dog’s frame of
reference. They know that eventually their dog will learn if they have faith and keep at it. These consistencies are what a dog seeks and remembers. The more consistent our behaviour, the more confident our dog becomes — the more faith it can and will invest. They are here to do this. To work for us. Some people think dogs are special because they have a good sense of smell — not so, humans are special because we have virtually none compared to most creatures. Smell is easy – we use pigs for example, to find truffles by scent, but there

tirelessly to do so. We need to give them reason to invest their faith in us. We need to create routines and be predictable, reliable, and patient. And here is one of the special rewards of enlightened dog ownership – we learn from their example and we become better humans. I have often said that a dog will reward your faith more reliably than anything else in the universe. This should never be under-estimated. To have one’s faith rewarded is an exhilarating experience denied to many. It is reward enough that some gain confidence in the potential for other

They will return to the place they last saw us when they become lost or will find their way home from remote locations because they believe we want to be reunited with them as much as they with us.

trusting relationships. Watch people with dogs — they are likely more confident in interactions with strangers, especially other dog owners. They wake each morning knowing someone relies on them and believes in them — a singularly energising experience. Faith perhaps, means different things to different people, but its power cannot be denied. It’s good to believe in something. Wherever we find it, belief, trust in something outside ourselves is empowering — more so as the rewards become tangible. I guess faith is a personal thing. I invest mine judiciously. I believe in dog.

A FINANCIAL MOMENT School leavers Hank Jongen General Manager Services Australia THE end of the school year is approaching, which can be both exciting and a little daunting if you have a child finishing year 12. They may be starting to think about their options for 2022, and deciding whether they’ll go to university, TAFE or maybe even start an apprenticeship. If they’ll be continuing full time study or training next year they may be able to get a payment from Services Australia. Youth Allowance is payable to people between 16 and 24 years of age who have finished year 12 and are studying full time in an approved course, or doing a full time Australian apprenticeship. Approved courses include traineeships, vocational education courses, and TAFE or university courses. You can find information
about approved courses for Youth Allowance on our website at servicesaustralia.gov.au by searching for ‘approved courses.’ We use income and assets tests to check if your child is able to get Youth Allowance, and how much they might get. We also look at the income of the students’ parents and if the parents get any maintenance payments for the student when working out how much Youth Allowance can be paid. There is also extra support available if your child has to move away from home to study. These include: Tertiary Access Payment is a $5000 payment for students from outer regional and remote areas moving for tertiary study straight after year 12. Fares Allowance helps with travel costs if your child gets certain payments from us. Relocation Scholarship helps with relocation costs to or from some areas
if your child gets certain payments from us. Rent Assistance is an additional payment if your child pays rent and gets certain payments from us. ABSTUDY is for children who are an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Australian and studying. If your child is a full-time tertiary student or Australian apprentice they may also be eligible for:
ABSTUDY Living Allowance helps with living costs while studying or training. ABSTUDY Incidentals Allowance helps with the cost of starting or continuing study or training. Additional Incidentals Allowance helps if your child is a tertiary, masters or doctorate student and has high essential course
costs. ABSTUDY Fares Allowance helps with travel costs between home and study if your child needs to live away from home. For more information, search for ‘ABSTUDY’ on our website. While you’re there, have a look at our ‘Payment and Services Finder’ to check what payments your child may be eligible for.

community leaders coming together to raise awareness and understanding of the importance of early learning.

MALCOLM DENNIS was born in Campbell Town in Tasmania in 1950 and lived
there and in Longford until his dad relocated the family to Hobart in 1958. They settled in Taroona where Malcolm attended Taroona Primary and High School. Sport has played a major part in Malcolm’s life, growing up supporting Sandy Bay Football Club and St Kilda Football Club. His interest in music began in 1964 after he purchased his first record – ‘Have I The Right’ by The Honeycombs. Inspired by the late Ron Fellowes from local band ‘The Black Diamonds’, Malcolm purchased his first drum set in 1966 and performed in many bands until the late 1990s. He commenced presenting at Hobart FM in July of 1998 to express his love of music, playing a selection of music from the 50s through to the 80s on the Tuesday Drive Show from 4pm to 6pm. With a personal library totalling almost 38,000 songs, Malcolm prefers Rock ‘n’ Roll with real instruments, but endeavours to accommodate as many requests as he can.

Lily makes the jump for Heart Foundation NINE-year-old Lily Anning (pictured) has skipped her way to be the fifth highest fundraiser in Australia for the Heart Foundation’s Jump Rope for Heart. Lily raised more than $3000 through a jump off day at Rosetta Primary School, as well as through selling lemons, cakes, slices and flowers, and an online auction. Lily said Jump Rope
for Heart was a great way to help raise funds for heart research and programs that saved lives. “I started skipping four years ago and then I got into raising money the last three years which is really good,” she said. “It’s important to raise money to help people get their hearts better. “I’ve enjoyed learning new tricks and it’s good
for your heart.” Lily received help in her fundraising efforts from family friends Katrina Pailthorpe and Anne Howlett. The cause was close to the heart for Mrs Pailthorpe, whose mother and husband had both had heart surgery. For more information on Jump Rope for Heart, visit https://www. jumprope.org.au/.

Getting into the swing of things at Claremont Golf Club CLAREMONT Golf Club is encouraging members and the local community to work on their short and long game with a beginner friendly come and try session. The ‘Get into Golf’ program will support and educate Australians to lead active lifestyles through a beginner golf program that combines skill development with course familiarity to take that first shot on the golf course. Classes are run in small groups for about 60 minutes and have a strong focus on using the game itself to facilitate the learning, rather than just focus on a skill. Lessons also give participants a chance to be social. The program provides participants the opportunity to socialise and get to know others, ensuring that everyone relaxes into the
activities and will receive support and feedback. PGA professional Debra Brinkley will conduct a come and try session on Sunday 12 September at the Claremont Golf Club from 2pm to 3pm, after which refreshments will be served in the club house. “Get into Golf is the fun, healthy and social way for men and women to get started in golf, and the come and try day is free, with all equipment being provided,” Ms Brinkley said. “Simply turn up in comfortable clothing, gym gear is acceptable, and softsoled shoes – bring your own clubs if you wish.” Following the come and try day, a program of five weeks will continue every Sunday from 19 September 2021 at 3pm. The cost will be $20 per 60-minute session and includes a warmup, golf

Tasracing partners with Sports Entertainment Network TASRACING has entered a media partnership with the Sports Entertainment Network (SEN). SEN operates a network of sports and racing radio and digital assets in 15 Australian markets, including Tasmania, and 26 markets in New Zealand. The partnership is based on creating new in-depth pre and postrace content to help Tasracing attract more Australian racing fans to Tasmania’s greyhound, harness and thoroughbred codes. This will complement Tasracing’s existing exclusive live racing broadcast rights partnership with Sky Racing. The new SEN partnership includes a wide range of content and promotion which provides significant opportunity to showcase all aspects of the Tasmanian racing industry and
products. It includes: New Tasmanian content including a weekly Tasmanian tri-code Panel Show and a new Wednesday night Tasmanian thoroughbred racing Panel Show. Broadcast of new Tasmanian segments in five existing national SENTrack weekly Panel Shows. Promotion on SEN national and New Zealand network, digital platforms, podcasts and social media. Tasracing chief executive officer Paul Eriksson said partnering with the increasingly popular SEN was an important decision for Tasracing. “We are always looking at ways we can grow market share in the highly completive national wagering market,” he said. “SEN provides the perfect vehicle to help us achieve this.
“In addition to providing racing experts to talk live across SEN’s national network, we plan to create opportunities for as many industry participants and stakeholders as possible to contribute. “We see this as a good way to help us uncover and nurture our next generation of racing industry media talent.” Mr Eriksson said SEN’s investment in new Tasmanian sport and racing media coverage was welcome. “We want to work with organisations that are committed to Tasmania, and that want to tell stories about our racing industry and its successes,” he said. This new partnership could not come at a better time as SEN recently launched its Tasmanian expansion, announcing three new radio signals across Tasmania’s biggest cities
1629 SEN Hobart, is now available on 1629 AM and on the SEN app. SENTrack is also available on 1611AM in Launceston and Devonport. SEN chief executive Craig Hutchison said Tasmanian racing played a significant role in the state’s economy and had an appealing product to showcase. “Tasmanian racing, chasing and pacing are a rich part of the state’s proud sporting history and deserve an international spotlight to showcase participants and Tasmania’s yearround racing action,” he said. “The teams at SEN, SENZ and SENTrack really look forward to building upon its commitment to rich Tasmanian content in conjunction with Tasracing.”

A TRY FOR GRASSROOTS RUGBY

THE Classic Wallabies – an alumni of Australian rugby legends – spent a week in Tasmania engaging with schools and communities as a way to give back to the sport. Classic Wallabies Digby Ioane and Radike Samo, along with former Wallaroo Shirley Russell, visited various schools across the state, including Austins Ferry Primary School, to take students
through some rugby training and drills. Mr Ioane said the Classic Wallabies and Wallaroos aimed to grow grassroots rugby across Australia, with Tasmania being high on its list. “We went around schools and did a lot of drills with schools to show them that rugby is a great sport – it’s not for everyone, but we like to give everyone a taste of
what it is about,” he said. “It’s very important that we spread the word and that starts with clubs, primary schools and high schools.” Ms Russell has been involved with the Australian Wallaroos in both a playing and coaching capacity, and was one of the pioneers of female rugby in Australia. She said through these
grassroots engagements, she was giving back to the sport by helping it grow. “We’re very fortunate that we have gained so much from rugby throughout our lives, and we just to impart it back to the people who want to be involved in the game or want to have exposure to the game,” she said. “Who knows, we might
have future Wallabies and Wallaroos in these Tassie schools.” The Classic Wallabies and Wallaroos also visited the Claremont Cadbury Factory to celebrate Cadbury’s recent principal partnership with the Wallabies and major partnership with the Wallaroos. “Sport is a passion among Tasmanians – perhaps only second
