monuments in more than 600 cities around the world taking part. Locally Parliament House in Hobart was lit up blue. Two young representatives were selected in Tasmania to flick the switch. One

Some 55 boats and crews competed in the Club Marine Lufra Hotel 25th Australian Bluefin Championships, catching and tagging well in excess of 100 fish, and experiencing all what the sea and weather could throw at the fleet of fishers. Friday began with the most settled conditions but yielding only a small contribution to the prize pool. Saturday dawned with questions on the weather with the committee soon implementing a limited fishing zone to enable the continuation of the competition with safety and fisher comfort top of mind. The fleet minimised to a still very convincing 35 or so vessels with catches outstripping the finer Friday catch. Around 190 competitors, supporters and onlookers, including house guests, attended the presentation dinner which was held at Lufra. A buffet dinner was served with guests arriving from around 6pm through till 7pm, ensuring a smooth service

Tyre Stockpiles
The Local Government Association of Tasmania (LGAT) has recently related concerns over the accumulating stockpiles of tyres around the state in the face of the National Industry Stewardship Scheme. The Scheme was launched earlier this year to address the stockpiling of tyres, which is a growing concern across the country. It also heard that the EPA Division is currently developing an approved management method, which is intended to identify acceptable methods for utilising or disposing of used tyres.

Brian the Dinosaur is a popular attraction at the Tasmanian Bushland Garden at Buckland, and is much loved by children. Brian has been ‘away’ for several months, getting some attention from his creator, James Hanslow, as he was starting to sag and wobble a bit and needed his struts tightened. A sign was placed at his location in the quarry at the Bushland Garden to let people know that he had been taken away to ‘hospital’, but that he would be back soon. Surgeon James, from Broadmarsh, completed his operation, and Brian was returned in triumph on the back of a large truck. He was carefully offloaded with a crane, and seemed very pleased to be home again in his favourite quarry amongst the big dolerite boulders. With his new struts and welds, he looks very perky and ready to bite the head off any passing velociraptor. Bushland Garden Secretary, Dr Keith Corbett, said that Brian was such a favourite of visitors that the group had arranged his purchase from James on a time-lease basis, so that he could stay permanently in his quarry home. “We are hoping that people might help us in the purchase by donating to the ‘Help Keep Brian in His Quarry Home’ fund when they visit” he said.

Zack is a thirteen year old boy, who attends Sorell High. He is on the autism spectrum and has been fitted with a cochlear implant and the first thing one will notice on meeting his parents is the love and support of their son. When I asked about what people should know about autism Zack's mother Shelley said, "I wish that people would not jump to conclusions, sometimes children will play up and throw tantrums when they are in a shopping centre. People should try to think behind the tantrum, and not just give judgmental stares. Children, people with autism are just like anyone, they are unique and they want to be treated fairly.” Zack's father Adam said that “parents should know that there is hope. Zack could not walk or talk until he was five, and now he is able to get up in front of the crowd, and gave his speech, he was also interviewed on the ABC.” Shelley agreed and said “the one word we
Page 2 - June 2014
do not use in this house is 'can't'.” Zack is lucky that he lives in a small, tight community like Dodges Ferry, as he has gone to school over the last six years with the kids in his neighbourhood, and while there have been isolated incidents he is just one of the kids. Dodges Ferry School worked with him, and beyond a few bureaucratic ups and downs Shelley and Adam praised the school. Shelley said that “some of the teachers who worked with Zack came down to the lighting ceremony, and were moved to tears by the confidence and maturity shown by Zack in giving his speech.” Zack and his parents are an inspirational family, and proof that anything is possible, anything can be overcome, as long as you banish the word can't from your vocabulary.

Sorell Carriage Shed news
Photo above show shed as it is now and an artists drawing of what the shed could look like
For those who have been watching the discussion on the restoration of the Sorell Carriage Shed some great progress has been made. The working group has recently submitted a funding application to the Tasmanian Community Fund to bring the vision of an exhibition and celebration of Neil Davis' photo journalism and the rail history of Sorell to Development Application (stca) stage. Considering that the Carriage Shed is Heritage listed, the work of this group in finding an alternative funded and useful use, that will not massively impact on council funds, has to be commended. Better to have a building working, than rotting into the ground with a Heritage obligation to preserve. To date they have received support from Colony 47, the Tasmanian Transport Museum, Southern Beaches Regional Arts, Primrose Sands RSL, as well as receiving letters of support from Neil Davis colleagues and friends, and the UTAS Faculty of Journalism who wish to work on the project. So while the project has the support of many from within and outside our immediate community, it is yet to gain the support from our local council. This was immediately apparent as the Shed is not on the agenda of the Sorell Council Historic Culture committee, yet potentially Davis and the Rail history could be a major stimulus to visitor activity in Sorell. Maybe someone is missing a point here, a key point. The project, to have any chance of success, will rely heavily on external funding to get off the ground, therefore the hard work of the working group. They have not only put together the first stage funding application, but have also developed a youtube presentation on the vision for the Shed and its benefits to Sorell. A link can be found on the Roundabout facebook page via www.facebook.com/myroundabout The working group has a requested a meet with the council's railway precinct consultant, so hope when next we go to press we'll have more news on this.
Landmine or Goldmine? In a very topical to locals event, the Tasmanian branch of the Australasian Land & Groundwater Association will present on 'landfills and associated liabilities'. What a great opportunity for many in this community to get the facts on how to make "bucks not blunders" when dealing with landfills' This would have to be the must go forum where councilors and waste operatives will attend to put away any niggling doubt that the DA extension, indeed the original 'permission to develop' had any issues. For the Southern Beaches Conservation Society or more relevantly the 'dump the toxic dump' campaign the Forum may be the loadstone
Health update for Eastcoast In October of last year the Glamorgan Spring Bay Council (GSB) upset the local's expectations by endorsing a report into medical services within the council area. In a small community word travels quickly. The level of concern in the community was such that hundreds of locals came along to the following council meeting (November 26), making their voices heard leading to the formation of the 'Get On Board' community group. As is often the case when community and council disagree the problem was one of consultation and transparency. The community thought that the council was moving ahead with a community model of health care provision, a model that states that board of directors represent the interests of the community, not representing the interests of shareholders. In their October meeting the council voted to change directions. Of course councils have the right to make decisions, but what happens when the community disagrees? The first step was to circulate and present a petition to council stating 'The electors of Glamorgan Spring Bay instruct our elected representatives of Council (Councilors) to endorse Model 1 Medical services controlled, administered and managed by a Community Health Company to ensure continuity in the provision of rural doctors and input from the community in future directions'. To GSB council's credit, they suspended the previous motion, and began working with community to come up with a plan for creating, funding, and running a community health company. A big project, but the community felt up to the task. 'Get On Board' went to work; organised a series of meetings, discussed alternate models of health provision, documented and reviewed the history of this issue, set to council on April 22. The deadline arrived and an interim report was presented to council, being accepted by council. The report noted the difficulties involved, saying 'the issue is complex, has polarised communities and resulted in a breakdown of professional relationships, legal proceedings, uncertainty and mistrust in the broader community'. The three councilors working with the community are now in the process of coming up with detailed, specific recommendations. Mayor Bertrand Cadart who voted against the community health company said, “This process is a good example of the community being heard and an acknowledgement of the strong desire expressed for Council to have a ‘hands off’ approach to medical services.” Cheryl Arnol, one of the councilors charged with working with the community supported the idea of transparency and community consultation in local government, saying that in the end the council works for the community, not the community for the council. This story is obviously not over, and the players need to be commended for their commitment to getting the best outcome for community, regardless.

Recycle for Sight Support
Ongoing journey...
Until the end of June 2014 Eyelines will be encouraging people to recycle their old glasses to help the sight affected in third world countries. By offering everyone who brings in their old glasses an instant $50 off a new pair of glasses, Eyelines hopes to make an impact in this great project of Lions Club International. William Downie CEO of Eyelines is keen on the company supporting such a significant project. "When you trade in your old glasses, we recycle them by forwarding the glasses to Queensland where they are quality tested, washed and dried, graded, sorted and packed. These recycled glasses are forwarded to Lions Clubs, church missions and humanitarian groups in third world countries to be given to people in need.'' Last year Australians gave 150,000 pairs of glasses free to people in Africa, Solomon Islands, Moldova, India, East Timor, Fiji, and other islands on the Pacific Rim. Optometry services and products are simply not available, too expensive or out of reach for the majority of the third world population. William said, "The Lions Recycle for Sight ensures supplies of various graded glasses are instantly on hand to give to adults and children who are sight affected, improving their quality of life. We hope that by offering $50 off a new pair of glasses when you trade in your old ones at Eyelines, more people will support this worthwhile cause." To support the Lions Recycle for Sight Project bring in your old frames to any Eyelines store across Tasmania or log on to eyelines.com.au or call 1300 139 363 for more information.
A few weeks have passed since the Tasman Peninsula Historical Society's 2014 Exhibition 'Families - Journey through Time'. The weekend of activity was beautifully displayed at the soonto-be Taranna Historical Museum owned and run by Marje Turner and Colin Lowe. The theme of 'Journeys', and there was quite a journey for all involved. As in previous years, the planning took months of meetings, letters, emails and phone calls to gather it all together. This is the true propose of exhibition - bringing together in one place and time that which is commonly more spread about. On display many of the wonderful artifacts of trades long forgotten, or recognisable in photos of Grandma and Grandpa which will remain in the Taranna museum. However, the personal stories of settler families - their family trees displayed for all to see intermingling and mysteriously branched, will melt back into the warmth of the family hearth. Society members worked hard
and long to make it all happen on the Anzac weekend - it shows what determination can do and the hundreds of awestruck visitors left a lingering testimony. The Historical Society will continue the valuable work of recording and preserving the post-convict history of the peninsulas, a task begun in 1986. Keith O'Hara, President of the Tasman Peninsula Historical Society, says of the Society's tasmanhistory@gmail.com

margin while ensuring tax obligations are met, Tracey sees each client as an individual. “I like to understand the whole person, the numbers are just a short hand way of helping a client.” Following a trajectory common to many Tasmanians Tracey was born in the North West, finishing school went off to the mainland, including some time overseas. On the mainland she gained her Bachelor of Management at the University of Sydney and then her Master of Accountancy studying at Charles Sturt University. She worked for a variety of businesses and government departments, giving her wide knowledge and experience of business practices. With the end of financial year coming up Tracey outlined what people should do to help themselves with their personal or business taxation obligations. “If there is one message can be taken away it is to save all your receipts. That is the most important thing, you need to have the documents.” Simple and very handy. “Keep your paperwork, and ask questions.”

Roundabout recently spoke with Tracey Jones, director of CTC Tas Taxation and Accounting Services. Two years ago she left her office in Lindisfarne, bought a house at 40 Main Street in Sorell, renovated it to suit her needs, and opened up a new office. When asked why she made this move, she replied that she lived in the area, and she did not like the commute. "Sorell is a thriving and growing community, offering many opportunities to be able to help local businesses grow." On the success of the move? “It has been much better than I could have imagined.” There is a stereotype that accountants are boring, and unimaginative. While Tracey is very professional, having the degrees, qualifications and awards to show for her diligence, she is also passionate about her clients and her industry. Whether she is designing spreadsheets to allow her to best understand her clients needs, or if she is helping business to maximise businesses profit

The cat sat on the rock... In 1994 Condor II found itself enjoying the view to Betsy Island from Blackjack Rock. Locals suddenly had their daily drive interrupted with South Arm Road congested and parking at Goat’s Bluff a premium. It was an event that brought onlookers and media to the Bluff lookout in their hundreds for the best view of the majestic Incat astride Blackjack Rock. Given it’s almost twenty years since that momentous event, the South Arm History Group thinks it’s a story worth re-telling and invite you to share your photos and memories as they gather the tales and images of that event. You might have been involved in the salvage of Condor II, hired your boat out to media or sightseers or just generally followed the unfolding saga of the Cat on the Rock. Whatever your memories, the group would like to hear from you. Information will be included

Breathe a sigh of relief
within budget and very much to my satisfaction and as anyone who lives in one of the renovated beach shacks knows these places come with inherent problems and the latest renovation required a major overhaul due to a badly leaking roof." Now the roofing iron, guttering and down pipes have been replaced, and roof insulation has been added. The resident possums living happily in the studio roof space had to be relocated. Nothing is too much of a problem
for Mick who goes about his day with good cheer and a great sense of humour. "The latest work was once again completed within budget, all the rubbish was cleared away," said Lynda, pleased with the result. "At the moment I am living in N.S.W. and it is a relief to know that Mick is only a phone call or email away. He turns up when he says he will, answers his phone calls or messages promptly and he is an honest and competent tradesperson."

stage rebuilding would start soon on both the Dunalley Hall and the new Dunalley School. It’s the next stage of recovery.” The hall, designed by local Tim Holmes, will feature some lovely old trusses and like all community halls will once again become a hub for the Dunalley community. Judy Young, resident, who has rebuilt after losing her home was excited about the prospect, “the completion of the Dunalley Hall will be a moment in time as the community moves forward,” she said.

It has been almost eighteen months since Dunalley and the South Eastern part of Tasmania was struck by a destructive and uncontrollable bush fire that gutted much of the area including the Dunalley Hall and School. It has been eighteen long months for many, but the Dunalley community, Service groups, Sorell Council and many helpers have achieved much in this time. Now there is more good news for this small township. Sorell Council has received $250,000 towards the rebuilding of the Dunalley Hall from the Community Development Grants program administered by the Federal Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development. Mayor of Sorell Council Kerry Vincent was happy to announce that a “ground breaking “ Ceremony would take place on the new Dunalley Hall site where local residents would take part in “the turning of the sod.” The ceremony will take place on Saturday 7th June at 10am. Kerry said “it is great that at this Link to school

With all our monthly outgoings getting higher and higher and now with the recent budget it’s a great relief to hear some good news! As you all know Mick Warren (of Mick Warren Painting & Property Maintenance) is a regular in our paper keeping us up to date with renovation project’s and customer testimonial’s. Today Mick has stated that even with the cost of living rising he is staying just as he is. “Even though fuel and other direct increases hit us all, I am staying the same. No price increases! No way!" exclaims Mick. "My customers like it as it is so that’s how it’s going to stay and now my 'M.A.D', (materials at discount) deal is even better for my clients. “The reason is,” Mick says with a glint in his eye, " that I'll be working till I’m 70, so everyone has a bit longer to make the most of the deal”.One of Mick's customers Lynda has a property in Dodges Ferry that was in need of some exterior renovation and decoration including the roof to be replaced. This is the second time she has used Mick's services. "The first job was finished on time,
This term the Lauderdale Primary School Morning Fun Fitness initiative will see 550 Lauderdale students simultaneously doing fitness activities led by over 40 Year 6 students. The Morning Fun Fitness sessions will occur each Monday and Friday morning commencing on the morning music with all students in Foundation through to Year 6 assembling on the outdoor assembly area in their fitness group. The Year 6 leaders are responsible for these different groups, all named after native animals, birds and sea life. The groups are made up of selection of students from Foundation through to grade 6. The sessions last for 15 minutes and, impressively, involves the whole school at once, completely covering the oval with students having fun while getting fit. The activities focus on running based activities that develop fitness, cooperation, teamwork, agility, friendship and tolerance between the students of different ages.The Senior Students have received training leadership training from Ms Schultz and under her guidance they are responsible for planning, setting up, running and packing away the activities with class teachers on hand for any extra assistance as required.

Historically post year 10 retention rates in Tasmanian schools have been low with contributing factors varied and complex. Our new Government is committed to improving retention of post year 10 students as are many Educationalists and Organisations such as Colony 47 Partnership Brokers. As a former Teacher and a Board member of the above organisation there exists a personal interest in any initiative to improve education in Tasmania. Government’s Education policy says Sorell School is 1 of 21

regional High Schools to provide Years 11-12 by 2018 or in the last wave expected around 2024. If Regional High Schools are to include years 11-12 there are concerns such as guaranteed increase in retention, availability of additional courses, and gaining extra suitably qualified teachers to undertake these courses will be difficult for many Regional Schools. Unless our youth become more competent in literacy and numeracy then the two extra years in High School will be of little or no advantage. Then there are infrastructure issues such as classrooms to accommodate an increase, requirement for extra parking facilities for more teachers and for the many older students driving to school, parking is already currently inadequate at the Sorell School, and then ongoing traffic management concerns.
The Government has committed funding to assist schools through the transitional stage but will it be adequate? On the upside the NBN and the latest technology are making it possible for regional schools to share courses but these need to be tailored to meet existing and future employment opportunities in a region. Continuity and less disruption for those transitioning from Year 10 through to 11-12 in situ could be a positive outcome especially in an area where transport is an issue, as it is in Sorell. The Government has promised extensive consultation with Schools and Communities. The introduction of Years 11-12 to Regional Schools will no doubt be topical at the Sorell School Assoc. meetings in the months to come. Why not come along? THE CULTURAL SHIFT IN ATTITUDE TO EDUCATION IS A WHOLE OF COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY.

If volunteering was an industry...
A state government report launched at the opening of National Volunteer Week has found that we as a state punch well above our weight in volunteer services. Especially in regional and rural areas. Some 130,000 volunteers contribute over $600 million to our economy, and if volunteering was recognised as an industry it would be our eight largest , employing more people than the agriculture, forestry, fishing and mining industries combined. Parliamentary Secretary, Guy Barnett MP, on launching the report stated, that the Government is keen to grow Tasmania’s culture of volunteering. Encouraging volunteering is the way to go, doing all to support and promote both our volunteers and the growth of the selfsacrificing volunteer spirit in Tasmania.
Magic Miniatures Exhibition Although still awaiting a few pieces of furniture, the doors are well and truly open at the freshly painted new Sorell offices of Tony Mulder, Independent Member for Tasmania’s Legislative Council. Tony, the member for the seat of Rumney, which spreads from Rokeby, through Lauderdale, Cambridge, Richmond all the way to Port Arthur and east to Orford, taking in several townships along the way includes Sorell which is quite central to Rumney, thereby making it an ideal location for his office. “It is the heart of Rumney,” said Tony, “and growing rapidly.” He spoke freely about his concerns, understanding that both local and state governments need to work together. Mr. Mulder intimated concerns regarding infrastructure issues in the area, concentrating on access routes, specifically the Tasman Highway and the main arterial road to Hobart, which now, regardless of the time of day sees “a continual
stream of cars.” With South East Irrigation on the way, residential growth, agricultural and outlying regional expansion, and when emergency situations arise, he felt that all access routes should be explored in order to ease the load for residents and visitors. For growth to continue in Sorell and the South East “the shackles need to come off” he said, “you can’t have one without the other, meaning growth and infrastructure, and so, there are options to consider.” With Yvonne Murfett (pictured above with Tony) in charge at the office and holding the fort during the day, the residents of Rumney are welcome to come in for a chat, have a coffee, and talk over any concerns they may have with her or make an appointment to see Tony. His office, a first time presence in Sorell, has been made available as a point of contact and is open from 10am till 4pm.

THINK LATERALLY WHEN NEGOTIATING Vendors and purchasers alike expect that in a private sale, the asking price will be negotiated to take into account the different expectations of the two negotiating parties. Few realise, however, that attributes other than money can also be subject to the negotiation process for a mutually beneficial result. As a vendor or a purchaser, it pays to find out as much as protocol permits about the needs and desires of the party at the other end of the negotiation process. After all, a vendor may not need to negotiate as many dollars if the other party has needs that can be accommodated and have value in dollar terms. Some purchasers may be buying now just so they can

secure a property for an anticipated move and may not need to occupy in the normal settlement time frame, so a delayed settlement may suit their pocket while giving them the security of a home when they need it and perhaps while they have the time to do the work associated with making the purchase. Vendors too need security, and may need to know their home sale is a done deal before embarking on their next project. They may not be ready to move out (for example an elderly couple retiring to a warmer climate who want to know their house is sold but would like to stay until their ailing dog passes away may even rent from a flexible incoming purchaser until the dog dies and they are ready to make

their move). For many vendors, the security of a ‘sold’ home means they know exactly what they can afford to pay for the property they will move to next and renting until the purchasers needs the property themselves (they may even be buying it as an investment and will never occupy!) is peace of mind and time to research their next purchase. Purchasers too may be buying in advance of actual need in order to secure a property at current market prices or to be sure of buying in a street they have set their heart on. Inclusions are another item that is often subject to negotiation. Sometimes a piece of furniture or an artwork is particularly ‘right’ for the house and would be hard to replace – indeed maybe hard to re-locate from the vendor’s point of view! – and so becomes a candidate for inclusion in the negotiation process.

when retirees are scaling down is a perfect example. Or a sideboard that neatly fits an alcove and is such a feature that it would detract from the look of the house when removed (and may not be nearly so ‘perfect’ where the vendors are going). Many vendors – especially those who are scaling down or who are moving to another state or country – find that an incoming purchaser could be the one who is prepared to pay the most to save the time and energy of replacing special items in the same way that the outgoing vendor is the one who has most to gain by selling to someone who will leave it in place. In other words, it can be a mutually beneficial transaction! If you are a purchaser it pays to remember not to pay too much for any special items vendors are prepared to include to clinch a sale, especially if you work out that the cost of moving them is greater than their value. © 2013 Local Property News.

The ferocious antechinus The antechinus is a small marsupial, similar to a mouse, or the shrew. Two varieties live in Tasmania. The swamp antechinus (Antechinus minimus), also known as the little Tasmanian marsupial mouse, and the dusky antechinus (Antechinus swainsonii), or the dusky marsupial mouse. The name antechinus is from the Greek, anti ekhinos, meaning “like a hedgehog.” This name refers to the coarse hair on the animal. The dusky antechinus is widespread throughout Tasmania, preferring wet eucalypt forest. It feeds at night on insects, and has been seen dining on small lizards and skinks. Even though they are common they are very shy, and nocturnal, and so are rarely seen. The dusky antechinus is unique for many reasons, for one it is the largest of its type, with males averaging 65 grams. Unlike others of the antechinus family it lives out it's short life on the ground, nesting in hollow logs,
JT
or tucked under the leaf litter. It is quite vocal for an antechinus, and has been heard hissing and chattering away. The antechinus breeding season is a frenzied fortnight of activity. So frenzied that almost all of the males die at the end of the season due to stress-induced immune system breakdown. Of the females only about 10 percent will live to a second breeding season. Considered to be not threatened the dusky antechinus has a large range and is abundant where conditions allow. In Tasmania their only threat is the domesticated cat. A cute little animal with an extreme lifestyle, they are one of many unique animals to be found in Tasmania.
Our anatomy requires us all to visit a certain little room every day of our lives. Yes? These public enclaves are not generally a pretty sight! Some might be tizzied up to look at least presentable, mostly kept clean by the swift workings of a brush, bleach, followed by a good spray of deodoriser! Which brings me to this! Visiting abroad recently, I had lunch at very enticing upmarket restaurants, luckily freebies for my sensitive hip pocket! As it mostly happens after the wine, water and the coffee, I had the urge to go. So excusing myself from prestigious company I stumbled my way to the loo only to be astounded by the most state of the art ablution room I had ever seen. Staggeringly beautiful! Gold taps! Uplifted washbasins delicately balanced on dark designer tiles. Cloth napkins, gold tissue holders and tall vases housing real blooms. No wonder the “lavatory” smelt so nice! Elaborate soap, moisturiser, a glorious bottle of the most exquisitely whiffy

Bullshot what?
Founded in 2010 Sorell On Stage (SOS) has gained a reputation for putting on a range of stage productions with passion and enthusiasm, matched by the enthusiasm of the audience, with shows often selling out, and always being met with applause. The performances created by this versatile group of creative's include children's shows, variety, theatre restaurant, dramas and dramas. Self funded, this little group has grown to include a cast of some thirty members to call upon for actors, stage hands, costumes and all the rest that goes with producing theatre. Sorell on Stage is now in earnest producing their newest work, Bullshot Crummond, a play written in 1974 by Ron House, in comic honour of the English Bulldog Drummond series written by H. C. McNeile, and published under the pen name of The Sapper. The first novel was written in 1920, the first movie -- a silent movie -- was made in 1922; with the last book in the series written in 1983. SOS's 'Bullshot Crummond' is very witty parody of the Bulldog
Jess Sonners took over Market Tree some two years ago. On Saturdays she can be found at her Salamanca Markets stall selling Smile Vases. Hers is a little company that has connections far outside our island. She says, "I have had amazing the support!!" The Smile Vase is a reusable plastic vase, expanding when filled with water. This allows the vase to stay stable, and when the flowers fade, simply wash out the vase with soapy water, and allow to air dry. The vase can then be folded away for easy storage, awaiting hubby's next misdemeanor. Being able to be folded flat the vase is perfect for people with limited space. Being plastic the vase will be safe around small children, and so has a place for young families or in the classroom.
Drummond series and director, and relative newcomer to the troupe, Barry Bryan described the work as a being a farce. "There is plenty of broad humour in this, as you would expect from a farce, but there is also much subtle humour.” On asked if this would be a family show, he replied, “there is no bad language in the show, there is some innuendo, but most children should be able to enjoy the show.” Barry joined up with Sorell on Stage near the end of last year, and admits he is moving out of his comfort zone to direct this play, but it is a challenge he is happy to face. Tables will be set up for this production so the audience can bring along nibbles for the show, with drinks available at the RSL. For more information about the work of SOS, or to become involved see their Facebook page https://www.facebook .com/ SorellOnStage The performance will be held 31st July and 1st, 2nd August at the Sorell Memorial Hall Sorell. Ticket details next edition.
Smile Vases can also suit events such as weddings, functions, and even the class room. Originally designed in Europe, manufactured in China, sold at the markets to tourists visiting Australia, and all over Australia, and beyond, via the internet. All done by a busy mother of three based in Dodges Ferry, Jess uses local companies as much as possible, including Studiogreen

Artist Liz Francis must be one of the most prolific artists in the Southern Beaches Community. Her vibrant mixed media works sell at Galleries throughout the country including Quoll in Salamanca Place and Three Peaks Arts and Craft Gallery in Sorell. She has a unique style, developed over many years using screen printing as a base for her creations, adds collage with textural papers and fibres, then layers the canvas with other media such as acrylics, porcelain and metallic paint, often adding gem stones, feathers and other natural elements to the work. Her main layering tool is the palette knife and she wields this with strength. Each stroke is clearly defined, with the blending of strong colours creating a smorgasbord brilliance. You can’t help but be drawn to the earthy vibrancy of her work whether it is an outback scene or a bush scene. Her work jumps at you.

The Community Garden in Dodges Ferry has now been blessed with some new seating thanks to Anthony, who has been exploring architectural concepts and collecting waste products, such as colanders, old broken shovel heads, pots and pans, to make several new seating areas within the garden. Having listened recently to a talk given by the chief town planner of New York City, it was great to hear her highlight the importance of 'community' as the top priority in town planning. She talked about the importance of greenery (bush/plants) and comfortable seating as a key way to bring people together and create an ambience that lends to a safe and connected community. Every Monday from 3-4pm, we are yarn bombing, crocheting colour for the garden, come along and learn how to crochet, or as it has happened, teach us how to crochet! In June the Garden is hosting Gwen Egg a local fibre artist who will weave her magic into the pizza oven structure. Gwen is well known for her weaving and we are lucky to have her host a FREE community weaving session at the Garden in Dodges Ferry on Sunday JUNE 15th, from 10 – 2pm. Please do bring a plate to share for lunch. And then on Friday JUNE 20th, we will be hosting the 3rd annual Winter Solstice Harvest Feast and Lantern Parade. The lantern Parade begins at 5.15, with a walk down to the beach, followed by soup, music and dancing if that’s your fancy. The Feast is free, soup will be cooked from the garden, by volunteers and served with bread cooked in the pizza oven. Music will be abundant as the tradition of Garden Soiree’s. This year we will be blessed by the tunes of local band Hoipoloi. For more information contact Claire or Gabe at dig@okinescommunityhouse. com.au or come visit us in the garden.
Opposition consequences
With recent changes in our local political lineup Roundabout spoke to Rebecca White MP about the results of the election, and her motivations for getting into politics. Rebecca was returned convincingly for her second term, this time in opposition. She says there are many factors that resulted in her becoming a politician. The first being her family. "They always encouraged me," she said. "At home we would discuss, not so much state or federal politics, but what was happening in the community. "A three months overseas trip gave me some perspective as to how lucky we are. Things like sanitation, roads, schools, electricity are readily available for Tasmanians. Whereas many others in the world live a much more simple life, with very basic services.” Later she worked for Member for Dennison Duncan Kerr, dealing with constituent inquires. She described Duncan Kerr as a good role model, with very strong values of social justice saying this time was an eye-opening education. “To see the level of influence, to see the ability to make decisions that were truly effective and able to make positive outcomes in people's daily lives was important in my decision to join the Labour Party.” Now appointed the Opposition Health and Human Services spokeswoman, Bryan Green wants the potential leader to gain experience keeping watch over a hefty portfolio. Rebecca said she was humbled by this acknowledgement. She feels she has an important role to play in advocating for the more vulnerable in Tasmania. Decisions made in these areas may have an profound life style impact on many Tasmanians. This area shows the differences in the main parties, highlighting Labour values of fairness, equity and social justice. Of her time in government Rebecca said she was proudest of the South East Irrigation Scheme, “this promises to change lives in the area.” On opposition Rebecca stressed that it is more than being negative, rather being constructive and making decisions for the best of the state. “It is a shame,” she said, “when good legislation does not progress due to partisan politics. When an opposition constantly talks down the economy this has far reaching consequences for the state as a whole. Politicians have a great responsibility and should not make decisions for the here and now. They have to plan for the future.”

Boobialla
Lauderdale Primary a Running Success
At Red Ochre Beach, just off Carlton Beach Rd volunteers of Southern Beaches Landcare are working to eradicate the Boneseed (Chrysanthemoides monilifera) plant. This South African native is considered a weed of national significance (WONS) meaning that boneseed cannot be bought or sold. Property owners are required by law to control boneseed and public are to report the infestation to weeds officers. About ten years ago, as a work of the dole scheme some young people came down to, by hand, remove the bulk of the boneseed from the beach. As the seeds can last up to fifteen years, follow up work must be done to ensure the initial work was not in vain. Into this space stepped the dedicated members of Southern Beaches Landcare who for the last ten years have routinely come to the beach for a working bee, pulling up boneseed seedlings. This is a relatively easy task, as the plant has shallow root system. Ironically it is this shallow root system that allows the plant to be so invasive, and to thrive in the low rainfall conditions of the Southern Beaches. When I spoke to the Landcare secretary Gwen Egg, she said that over the years they have
Lauderdale Primary has had a great start to 2014 with the school excelling in recent Inter Primary Athletic Events. The school was well represented with a strong 51 member school team at the Div. A Inter Primary Athletic Carnival. The depth, talent and determination amongst our school runners was evident with Lauderdale Primary school coming 1st in Division A. A fantastic effort and the first time they have achieved this result for a number of years. From this carnival 23 team members were invited back to compete at the Champions Athletic Carnival. The Champions carnival gives the top students from across Southern Tasmania the opportunity to race against each other. These twenty three students did a fantastic job to be recognized as some of the fastest students in these events across southern Tasmania. Congratulations to Mason MoonCasboult, Jordan Bygrave pictured
seen a reduction in the amount of seedlings. "This reduction has allowed us to start planting a fire resistant, native plant, Myoporum insulare," explained Gwen. "This quick growing native can withstand coastal winds, is tolerant of drought, and also works to shore up the dunes." Myoporum, or the True Boobialla needs to pass through the gut of an animal to germinate. With the loss of local animals landcare had to get seedlings specially grown for the site. Pulchella Nursery in Buckland allowed the seedlings to rot for several months in vinegar to mimic being in the gut of a bird.
