Arson suspected at Derby fire
A fire which destroyed an unoccupied weatherboard house in Derby
early on Sunday evening is being
treated as arson.
The fire was reported shortly after
5pm and brigades from Derby,
Branxholm, Winnaleah and Pioneer
attended the scene. However the fire
had taken complete control of the
house, and firemen concentrated
their efforts on hosing down the town
hall on one side of the house, and a
residence on the other side.
The house was completely gutted.
Tasmanian Fire Service investigation officers attended the scene on
Monday, and Sergeant Dale French
from the Scottsdale Police Station
has confirmed that police are treating
the circumstances of the fire as suspicious.
Sergeant French said that the
house had been vacant for some
weeks, and it is believed that the
owner is overseas.
Anyone who may have information about the fire, or who saw a person in the vicinity, has been asked to
contact police.

Bridport streetscape
THE Dorset Council has
accepted a tender for Stage 1
of the Bridport streetscape
development.
At the beginning of the
meeting,
Bridport
residents Jeff Jennings
and Ron Rice who both
oppose the plan, asked
questions.
Mr Jennings said the
majority of
Bridport
residents wished to keep
angle parking and he called
on councillors to support
their views. Mr Rice asked
why a decision on the
tender was being made 'in
committee', behind closed
doors.
In
answering
the
questions, Mayor Peter
Partridge said councillors
would vote according to
their personal opinions on
the issue.
General Manager John
Martin said that a decision
on the tender was made 'in
committee' because of
commercial in-confidence
reasons and was in
accordance with the
Local Government Act.
Councillors Thorne
and Martin maintained
their opposition to the
plan.
Cr Thorne said it was
irresponsible to accept a
tender that was over the
budgeted amount, and
she said a plebiscite
should have been held.
community
"The
would have accepted its
outcome, and it would
have alleviated the angst
in the community," Cr
Thorne said.
Cr Jarvis said he
supported the proposal
because it would make
the shopping precinct
more user-friendly.
Council voted 6-2 in
favour of proceeding with
the plan, and accepted a
tender from Venarchie
Contracting to complete
the job.
The cost of Stage 1 is
$850,000.

SUPPORT FOR DR
MCGINITY
Sir,
Can anyone explain why
Lara Giddings, Deputy
Premier of Tasmania,
Minister of Health, and
Attorney General, and
David Barlett, Premier of
Tasmania, are unable to
assist me and the towns of
Bridport, Derby, Scottsdale
and surrounds with the
reason for Dr Paul
McGinity's
continued
suspension?
They
elected
the
Medical
Council
of
Tasmania and are the only
ones who can force a quick
resolution.
Other victims are
innocent until proven
guilty. Dr Paul McGinity is
being penalised in every
way? He is unable to tend
his sick and frail patients.
With the restrictions
placed
on
Dr
Paul
McGinity, he is now
allowed to practise for only
42 hours a week supervised
or 18 hours a week if a
locum is available on the
end of the phone. Locums
have been very hard to
attract and very expensive
at a cost of $7,500 weekly, at
his own expense.
Dr Peter Sexton of the
Medical
Council
of
Tasmania said Dr. Paul
McGinity is not a danger. I
ask - why is our doctor and
his
patients
being
victimised in this way?
The lack of locums has
forced Dr McGinity to close
three surgeries in Bridport,
Derby and Scottsdale,
leaving 3,000 patients
without
medical
assistance.
Invitations have been
issued
to
all
parliamentarians to help.
Are you looking
for child care?
• We are very excited that we are able to offer Family Day
Care in the Bridport area and we hope that our carer (Amelia)
complements and supports existing child care services in the
area.
• Amelia has been providing care for several families in the
local area and has recently completed her orientation and is
registered with our service.
• If you are looking for child care for work, study, respite or
purely for the social aspect of your child having the opportunity
to play with other children.
Please contact Amelia on 0400 588 605
Why has it been left to the
Liberals and Greens only
have
offered
who
assistance.

our lives."

RETAIN OUR HERITAGE
Sir,
In case those who have
expressed interest in my
correspondence over the
past year or so are
wondering why there has
been nothing from me in
the last couple of months, I
should perhaps explain
that my wife and I have
been travelling overseas.
Whilst the main object of
the trip was to attend a
family gathering and spend
time with various relatives
and friends, we were
fortunate enough to be able
to explore some of the
great cities of the world,
including Los Angeles,
Chicago, Paris, Vienna and
Zurich,
where
the
visionary "city fathers",
past and present, have
created and continue to
enhance widely varying
but always proud examples
of modern civilization.
Chicago, for example,
was destroyed by fire in
1871 but, thanks to the "cando" attitude of its citizens, a
beautiful city has risen
from the ashes.
In Europe we also visited
historic cities and towns
such
as
Cologne,
Heidelberg, Strasbourg
and others that have been
painstakingly rebuilt after
being ravaged by wars
through the centuries. In
the Alsace region of
France (the land of the
legendary storks) we saw
the quaintest "picturebook" medieval towns and
villages, which have been
lovingly preserved by
succeeding generations of
proud citizens, and are
consequently now such
gems that they a real
tourist honey-pots.
In the Yorkshire Dales of
England we experienced
driving on roads so narrow
that in some places it is
quite impossible for two
vehicles to pass. But those
roads are still being
maintained because they
serve a useful purpose for
both local traffic and
tourists - not closed or
declared "unsafe" by some
bureaucratic
local
government official.
We also visited the
shocking battlefields of the
Somme, including the town
of
Villers-Bretonneux
where Australians are
honoured for their bravery
and the crucial role they
played in helping to turn
the tide of World War I, and
the beaches of Normandy
where thousands died in
the defence of democracy
and the rights of the
against
individual
totalitarian powers.
On our return, in reading
the eight editions of the
"Advertiser" that had
accumulated in the waiting
mail, it was disappointing
to
find
that
the
controversies over the
Bridport
streetscape
redevelopment and Dr
McGinity's
medical
practice are still raging.
In the case of the
Bridport streetscape it
appears that the Dorset
Council is persisting with
the same intransigent and
high-handed approach that
it applied to the issue of the
Derby Station Road Bridge
- doggedly ignoring the
clearly expressed wishes of
a majority of community
members.
Perhaps if Council had
applied
as
much
determination
to
brokering
a
speedy
resolution of the problems
confronting Dr McGinity
and his patients, a more
satisfactory outcome might
have been achieved by now.
John Beswick,
Deviot and Derby.
OPPOSED TO
BRIDPORT
STREETSCAPE PLAN
Sir,
It is a matter of great
concern that the Dorset
Council continues to
ignore the wishes of a large
majority of
Bridport
residents, even after the
survey by Mr Peter
Gutwein MHA clearly
showed their wishes.
The main problem is
the loss of nearly half of
the existing shop-front
parking spaces if angle
parking is changed to
parallel parking. To my
surprise I also found the
existing
carriageway,
already narrow, is not only
not going to be widened, it
is to be fractionally
narrowed!
This from a council
touting their plan as
catering for the future
needs of the town.
My plea to the council is
this - confer with your
consultants
and
see
whether they can come up
with a plan incorporating
wider footpaths and space
for alfresco dining, a
bicycle track and angle
parking.
The last thing you
would want would surely
be a repeat of the William
Street fiasco.
Sheena Butler,
Bridport.
Liberals call
for Joint Select
Committee on
Medical Act
THE parliamentary Liberal
Party has called for a Joint
Select Committee into the
Medical
Practitioners
Registration Act in the
wake of the treatment of Dr
Paul McGinity, and the
State government’s failure
to provide leadership on
the issue.
The Liberals believe
that the committee should
inquire into the adequacy
of the provisions of the Act
with particular reference to
reviewing
existing
statutes, procedures and
practices
for
the
consideration
and
notification of suspensions
from medical practice,
including the essential
requirements of natural
justice and procedural
fairness; and the adequacy
of arrangements currently
in place when a medical
practitioner is suspended,
or
reinstated
under
conditions, which affect the
ability to provide medical
care

Musselroe wind
farm a step closer
LIBERAL Senator Guy
Barnett believes prospects
for the Musselroe Wind
Farm development have
advanced markedly as a
result of the passing of the
Renewable Energy Target
legislation by the House of
Representatives this week.

Liberal
shadow
treasurer Peter Gutwein
said the committee should
report by November 19.
"The Liberals and the
North-East community
have had real concerns at
the lack of leadership from
the
State
Labor
Government which has
seen a huge gap in the
delivery of health services
as a result of Dr McGinity’s
sudden suspension four
months ago, and the
subsequent restrictions
placed on his ability to
continue
to
deliver
services," Mr Gutwein said.
"If the Medical Council
are operating in accordance
with the Act, then what we
must do is look at the Act
and make changes that
would prevent a situation
where people are left
without a doctor, or
medications, for lengthy
periods."
The committee will only
be formed if the Labor
government supports it.
$350
million
The
investment into North
East Tasmania will create
150
jobs
during
construction and meet the
electricity needs of up to
55,000 homes.
Senator Barnett said
the Liberals strongly
support a renewable
energy target of 20% by
2020 and if this is
legislated it will be a huge
boost for wind farm
developments generally
and Musselroe Bay in
particular.
“I am glad that the
government has this week
backed down and agreed
to coalition requests to decouple the renewable
energy legislation from
the overall ETS package.,”
Senator Barnett said.
“It is however critical
that the Government
agrees
to
our
amendments to protect
the aluminium, cement
and food processing
industries,” he added.

Aminya ticks all accreditation boxes
AMINYA Hostel chairman Peter
Partridge has announced that
following a detailed review, the
facility for the aged is compliant in
all 44 standards.
The review was required because
the
Australian
Government
imposed sanctions on the facility
claiming Aminya had not addressed
issues identified earlier in the year.
The
Aminya
board
of
management was required to
appoint an advisor with nursing
experience to help it comply with its
responsibilities
which
were
primarily administrative based.
Mr Partridge said all systems at
Aminya were now up to date and
functioning in accordance with
standards.
"There was never any risk to the
health of residents at Aminya, and
the standard of care has always
been excellent," Mr Partridge said.
He thanked the staff for their
efforts in reaching the compliance
standards.
"We have appointed an acting
nurse manager, Charmaine Smylie,
and she is doing an outstanding job,"
Mr Partridge said.
A spate of burglaries overnight last Sunday in
Scottsdale and Branxholm has prompted to police
to seek information from the public.
Between 8pm on Sunday August 16 and 6am
on Monday August 17 four separate business were
broken into. Scottsdale businesses in George
Street, King Street and Hedley Street, and a shop
in Branxholm were illegally entered.
Cash, computers and hair products were stolen
during the burglaries.
Police are requesting members of the public to
come forward if they witnessed people or vehicles
in or around the businesses during the evening, or
who have seen any of the stolen property. They can
contact Scottsdale Police on 6352 4099 or Crime
Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Any information can be provided anonymously
and callers maybe entitled to a reward.

JUNIOR basketballers in the North-East will benefit
from the recently announced Woolworths Fresh
Food Kids Community Grants program grants.
In its second big year, the program has given $3
million to over 1,900 community groups around
Australia.
The junior basketball organisation received $500
which will be used to purchase new tops for the 12
participating teams in the competition.
Secretary Natasha Evans thanked the national
retailer for its generosity in supporting a local community group.
"We are delighted to be able to support your
organisation's initiative to help kids in your local
community lead healthier, more active lifestyles,"
Woolworths Scottsdale manager Garry Atkinson
said.

Party Safe
teams spreads
its message
by Meg Dennis
On August 6th, Cale Burke, Tarin Mountney and Meg Dennis
travelled to Launceston to represent Scottsdale High School
and the Party Safe team.
The group was invited by Principals Australia, to participate
in a MindMatters Youth Empowerment
Program seminar sharing with studentsfrom other schools and
presenting to the assistant principals from around the state.
The purpose of the seminar was to unpack the important
role of young people in the promotion of mental health and
well-being promotion. It also defined mental health and other
key definitions.
The seminar also focused on leadership.
As well as a great opportunity to spread the Party Safe
message to a wider audience the day allowed the group to
expand its previous knowledge and develop some ideas for
student leadership within the school.

Rotary to discuss carbon forest sinks Expanded Renewable
by Robin Thompson
THE threat of global
warming and climate
change has catalysed
significant political and
community
debate
about issues such as the
carbon
pollution
reduction
scheme,
carbon offsets and the
costs
currently
established businesses
such as agriculture will
be forced to bear in
order to be carbon
neutral.
Understanding the
science and politics of
these issues is difficult
and confusing because
neither
are
exact
disciplines and perhaps
more of a work in
progress.
The Rotary Club of
Scottsdale has invited
Dr
Elizabeth
Pietrzykawski to lead a
discussion on these
issues
and
the
opportunity for carbon
accounting
and
of
development
businesses providing
carbon sinks.
Anyone interested in
joining this discussion
is invited to attend the
Rotary club dinner
meeting on Tuesday
August 25. Bookings
are essential and places
can be reserved by
contacting Jan Hughes
on 6352 3723.
Energy Target crucial for
Musselroe wind farm
HYDRO
Tasmania
considers timing is now
critical for the Federal
Government to realise its
commitment to implement
an expanded national
renewable energy target
(RET).
CEO Vince Hawksworth
said most of the renewable
energy industry?s plans
have been on hold, including
the Musselroe Bay project,
pending a definitive outcome
from the political process.
"The move to ensure 20
per cent of Australia?'s
electricity is generated from
renewable sources by 2020
has clear support,?" Mr
Hawksworth said.
"?The target is recognised
as an efficient and effective
policy measure to provide
the necessary
incentive
for
the
development
of
new
renewable energy projects.
"We are at a crucial time
as we seek to create a
sustainable future for
Australia. Renewable energy
has a crucial role to play and
the time is right to stimulate
the industry.?"
With the Senate voting
down the Government?'s
proposed emissions trading
scheme (Carbon Pollution
Reduction Scheme), Hydro
Tasmania believes it is now
critical that the RET
legislation is decoupled to
allow
immediate
implementation.
Hydro Tasmania and the
rest
of
Australia?s
renewable energy industry
want the Government to act
immediately to implement a
core election promise.

A new home
for old
instruments
MORE than 20 years ago
Nigel Bradford, a former
employee of the Scottsdale
Council, was given the
task of cleaning out the
old
vacant
council
chambers in Alfred Street,
and it was a day he
remembers well.
"With a colleague, I
opened an old cupboard
and found, to my shock, a
box of weeping gelignite.
"We took a nervous step
back, and quickly hurried
back to work," Nigel said.
The bomb squad was
called and the gelignite
was eventually removed
from the building, and the
clean-up was continued.
Among the material
found was a collection of
old
brass
musical
instruments. More than
likely they were the
remnants
of
the
instruments used by the
Scottsdale
Municipal
Band which once played a
very active role in civic
affairs.
Most of the material
found in the old building
was taken to the tip, but
Nigel salvaged a French
horn, auto harp and a
bugle.
Recently Nigel decided
that the instruments and
several others including a
Japanese flute, and bongo
drum, he had collected
over the years should be
put to better use, and
Jared Campbell, the music
teacher at Scottsdale High
School, was more than
happy to accept them on
behalf of the school.
to
"It's
important
showcase
these
old
instruments and give
students an opportunity to
play them, and we would
welcome
similar
donations from other local
people," Mr Campbell said.
"We are really pleased
that Mr Bradford has
decided to generously
donate these instruments
to the school," he added.
Music is becoming a
popular subject for many
students at the school, and
a number of bands
playing different styles are
being formed.
A CD featuring the
musical compositions of
students is being produced
and will be sold for $10
later in the year. All
money raised will be spent
on expanding the music
department's facilities.

Bertha reaches
the century
ALBERTA (Bertha) Burke a former North East resident, has
a special birthday on August 18 - she turns 100 years of age.
Bertha was born in Launceston in 1909, the eldest
daughter and second child of Allan and Ada Smythe. She
lived at "Torrington House" Bridport built by her
grandfather Captain A.B. Smythe one of the earliest settlers
in Bridport.
Berha had two brothers, Vivian and Ray and a younger
sister Olive who died in an accident at a young age. All the
children attended the original Bridport State School which
was situated at "Bay View" house also built by Captain
Smythe.
Bertha married a serviceman, Sydney Burke, and lived in
Launceston for some years before moving back to Bridport to
live at "Bay View". She had 2 daughters Rae and Clare and
subsequently moved to Devonport.
Bertha was a talented sportswoman, and held executive
positions on the North-East Indoor Bowls Association well
into her eighties. She remains alert and active, and currently
resides in The Manor nursing home in Launceston.
Aminya seeks
more visitors
THE Community Visitors Scheme provides volunteer visitors to residents of aged care homes who
are at risk of isolation from the general community.
At Aminya Hostel in Scottsdale a number of volunteers visit residents on a regular basis, but additional volunteers would be of considerable benefit.
The Community Visitors Scheme will train and
monitor the volunteer visitors.
Those wishing to volunteer need to have a genuine empathy and understanding for the residents, be a good listener and have some time to
regularly visit.
Anyone interested in the scheme should contact Leah Kok on 6334 0990.

Making the mouth a healthier place
by John Bell
WE expect our teeth to
last a lifetime; however, it
seems the standard of oral
health care in Australia –
especially in regional
areas of Australia – leaves
quite a bit to be desired.
Recent studies indicate
that Australians have
lower standards of oral
health than almost any
other developed country.
In part, this problem is
due to a shortage of
skilled oral health care
practitioners, but there
are strategies that we can
personally
put
into
practice that will help
prevent tooth decay and
gum disease occurring –
strategies that were
highlighted during the
recent National Dental
Health Awareness Week.
The most common
cause of oral health
problems
is
plaque.
Plaque is a thin, sticky
film which builds up on
the teeth. It is produced
by a combination of
saliva, bacteria and food.
The bacteria ferment
sugars in the food
forming acids that erode
the tooth enamel. Plaque
also damages the gums as
well.
The plaque can be
removed by brushing and
flossing, but it quickly
reforms. When it stays on
the teeth for longer that a
few days, it hardens into
tartar (or calculus) that
acts a reservoir for
bacteria. The tarter then
needs to be removed by a
dentist.
For some good tips on how
to keep your teeth long
term, and how to keep
those tissues that support
the teeth healthy as well,
get hold of the Fact Card
titled Oral Health. It’s
available
from
pharmacies
around
Australia that provide the
Pharmaceutical Society’s
Self
Care
health
information.
For a start, brush your
teeth twice a day –
morning and bedtime –
with a soft toothbrush
and a fluoride toothpaste.
Take the time to brush
carefully and gently along
the tongue, or use a
tongue
cleaner,
as
bacteria can thrive on the
tongue, too.
A low fluoride toothpaste
is recommended for
children aged 18 months
to 6 years, and for
children under the age of
18 months brushing
without a paste is best.

Farmsafe and CGU
Insurance launch 2009
farm safety awards
FARM-RELATED injuries cause an horrific 100 deaths, 6500 hospital
admissions and almost 6000 workers’ compensation claims in Australia
every year, and represent an annual burden of $1.29 billion on the farming community.
While there has been significant progress, farm safety remains a big
issue in regional and rural Australia. As Australia’s largest regional and
rural insurer CGU Insurance has announced it will continue to support
Farmsafe Australia to work to improve safety on the farm.
Farmsafe and CGU Insurance established the biannual awards in
2007 to recognise people and groups that have contributed to
improved farm safety.
The Farmsafe Farmer Awards are designed to reinforce the importance of better farm health and safety practices by recognising those
that are leading the way in this critical area for regional and rural communities.
Farmsafe Australia Executive Officer John Temperley said that while
farm safety had received increased attention over the last decade, injury
statistics showed that much more still needed to be done.
“Every farm-related death and injury is avoidable and we must stop
this loss of life and reduced quality of life,” he said. “Farm-related
deaths and injuries also create a significant economic burden for both
farmers and the communities they live in.”
According to Farmsafe, tractors, farm vehicles, quad bikes and farm
machinery are the biggest cause of death on farms, while dams, rivers
and creeks are also major problem areas for children on farms. More
than 60% of farmers and farm workers have some level of hearing loss
which is largely attributable to long-term exposure to high noise levels.

Plea for volunteer
help heeded
by Tony Scott
The constant search for
volunteers
at
the
Scottsdale
Visitor
Information Centre has
been
helped out by
Bridestowe
Estate
lavender farm.
The
visitor
information
centre’s
status as a “yellow i”
facility requires it to
open seven days a week,
but it’s always stretched
to find enough volunteer
hours to provide the
service.
Centre co-ordinator
Rosemary Calder put out
a call for help from
businesses, particularly
tourism operators, which
benefit most directly
from
the
centre’s
operation, and was
pleased to be answered
by Bridestowe Estate.
“It’s quite a mutually
beneficial arrangement
we’ve come up with,”
Mrs Calder said.
“Through the winter
when things are a little
quieter at the lavender
farm, they offered to
provide a staff member
who might otherwise be
stood down to bolster our
volunteer ranks for one
day a fortnight.
“But
it
quickly
showed what a benefit it
was, so they decided to
double the donation of
time to a shift per week.”
Mrs Calder said the

agreement was that the
volunteer would not
only promote the host
business, but having
inside knowledge of
that particular product
they were invited to
brief other volunteers
and could obviously
pass on information to
visitors.
“I understand they
quickly noticed a pickup in visitors who had
called at the centre.”
Bridestowe also saw
an advantage in keep
staff employed through
the quieter times so
they would still be
available when business
picks up again rather
than have them find
other work.
Volunteer Sandra
Forbes-Ewan said she
appreciated the change.
“It’s interesting to
experience
another
perspective of tourism,
especially with visitors
who have no set
itinerary and have time
for a chat about what
they might like to see or
do in the area,” she said.

Celebrating our100 th year
PART 2 - The North-Eastern Advertiser 1909 - 2009
SOME inaccurate information from a
friend and a long and fruitless trip
from the mainland to Queenstown was
the cause of a Victorian newspaper
man buying the North Eastern
Advertiser in May, 1911, and his name
became synonymous with the
newspaper.
He was A.E. Osborne. He was one
of Scottsdale's most highly respected
citizens, and for five decades he was
one of the most enthusiastic workers
for the growth of the district.
At the age of 15, in 1893, A.E.
Osborne - he has never been referred to
by anything other than his first two
initials - became apprenticed as a
printer at the Atlas Press, Castlemaine,
Victoria. The firm published the
Castlemaine Leader.
Young Osborne studied Pitmans
shorthand at night-school during his
first year of work and became
proficient. When he was twenty-one, he
became foreman printer and reporter
on the St. Kilda Mercury. Later he was
engaged in a similar capacity on the
Warrugual Guardian where he gave
valuable service for six years.
When his employer had to make a
journey to England, A.E. Osborne was
offered a three year lease of the
business. He never hesitated in
accepting the heaven-sent opportunity
although he had to borrow the princely
sum of £100 on his insurance policy. He
also had to obtain guarantors for his
obligation to make a weekly
repayment of £3 for the lease. In 1959 he
recalled that he never did miss one of
those repayments and the guarantors
had no worries.
He was so successful that he was
then able to transfer to Morwell where
he purchased the Morwell Gazette. In
less than three years he had increased
that paper's circulation and resold it - at
a better price - to the former owner.
It was at that time that a
commercial traveller told him that
Queenstown in Tasmania had a
population of 5,000, but did not have a
newspaper. The astute young Victorian
wasted little time in crossing the Bass
Strait and visiting the thriving West
Coast town. But to his disappointment
he found that the traveller had erred
slightly. The town was well served by
the Zeehan and Dundas Herald.
Osborne then travelled to
Scottsdale to see an old friend, Robert
McColl, owner of the North Eastern
Advertiser. As a result of his visit he
bought the business.
And the reign of Osborne began. In
the next 50 years almost every member
of the Osborne family was involved in
the production of the newspaper.
A prolific contributor to the paper
was the Hon. A.W. Loone who wrote
widely widely about the first settlers in
the district. Later he gathered much of
this matter together in his book,
"Tasmania's North East," which he
dedicated to his four soldier sons.
Mr Loone's interests were very
wide and it would be difficult to
mention any branch of local business
activity into which at some time or
other he did not enter. He is also
remembered for his persistent efforts
to persuade Parliament to pass an
"Anti-Shout" Bill, which he maintained
would reduce the sale of liquor.
Another frequent correspondent
was Mr Robert Coplestone. His brother
Alex was also a leading public man at
the time and these two, sitting on
opposites of the political fence,
provided their full quota of copy.
Mr J.B. Hayes, who bought his
property at Burnside, Scottsdale, wrote
commentaries on farming properties.
He was elected to the Tasmanian
House of Assembly as a member for
Bass and later became Premier of the
State. Later he was elected as a senator
in the Federal Parliament.
In December 1959 A.E. Osborne
described his early years gathering
news.
"The task of gathering news for the
Advertiser in the early days often
considerable
personal
involved
exertion. Very few people were
connected by telephone and contacts
often had to be made on 'shanks' pony'
or by push bike.
Motor cars were exceptionally rare.
Whenever one from Launceston
managed to negotiate the Sideling, its
arrival was invariably heralded by so
much noise and clatter that
shopkeepers hurried outside to view
the novelty.
The Advertiser used to make a
point of getting full reports of the
meetings of Scottsdale, Ringarooma,
Lilydale and Portland Councils.
My first trip to Derby, where the
meetings of the Ringarooma Council
are held, was made on push bike.
This meant a solid day's work
riding a total of 40 miles on hilly roads
not then bitumenised, reporting the
council meeting, at the same time
picking up other news items as well as
orders for job printing."

Osborne years)

A NEW BUSINESS TO HELP PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY
Be fire safe this summer
With the fire season approaching Peter and Maree Hartley of Bridport have expanded
their excavation and earth moving business to include bush fire hazard reduction.
PETER and Maree Hartley of Bridport have expanded
their business to include fire break clearing, slashing,
fence line clearing and tree removal.
The tragic Victorian bushfires earlier this year are a
reminder of the devastating consequences of wild fire.
The New South Wales fire service has provided the following advice for people wanting to protect their properties from fire risk.
“Reduction of fuel does not have to be as drastic as
removing all vegetation. Environmentally this would be
disastrous and often trees and plants can provide you
with some bushfire protection from strong winds,
intense heat and flying embers.
In many circumstances, hand and mechanical clearing methods should be considered the best way to protect assets. These methods can be safer than burning,
and easier to organise and maintain.”
Peter Hartley believes that risks can be significantly • Peter Hartley
reduced simply by clearing a fire brake around fence
lines, slashing, and removing thick undergrowth and
dead or dying trees.
Peter and Maree Hartley’s machinery includes a 7.5
tonne Hitachi excavator with blade and various buckets,
a Massey Ferguson 135 Tractor with slasher and rotary
hoe and an International S-Line 10 yard Tipper.

THE Scottsdale Magpies
Under 12s and Under 16s
travelled to Longford for
their semi- finals on
Sunday. Unfortunately the
Under 12s match was
abandoned
due
to
electrical storms and has
been rescheduled to be
played during the week.
Hopefully the young
Magpies will win this
match to earn themselves
a spot in the preliminary
final to be played at
Scottsdale this Sunday.
Although the storm
had subsided by the time
the Under 16s took to the
ground, the wet and
extremely
muddy
conditions
made
it
difficult for the players to
tell each other apart after
the first quarter.
The Magpies were
fortunate to win the toss,
and with the aid of a stiff
breeze favouring one end,
the boys kicked four goals
in the first term which set
them up for their 12 point
win over the Longford
Tigers.
Tough and tireless
efforts
from
the
midfielders
Dom
Killworth, Josh Whelan
and Ethan Petterwood
gave the Magpies plenty of
momentum. Cale Bourke
played well withstanding a
lot of pressure across the
backline. Other solid
performers
on
the
backline were Corey
Fennell, Keiren Mullins,
Bradley Walters, Andrew
Whitmore and Luke Gray.
It was a fantastic effort
by the whole team who
now get a well deserved
chance
in
their
preliminary final against
Launceston at Scottsdale
on Sunday.
The Primary School
Country Gold Carnival
will be held this Thursday
and Friday at Aurora
Stadium
and
the
Scottsdale Football Club
would like to congratulate
the following players that
play in our Under 12s who
have been selected by their
schools to participate in
the carnival.

Eightball up the coast
by Kevin Wagner
AFTER last week's loss
played
Winnaleah
Gladstone at home.
They made a great
start to the night
winning the first five
games with good wins
from Lyndon Smith
and Iaasac Rattray.
The only winner for
Gladstone
in
the
singles
was
John
Robertson who also
won his doubles game.
Winnaleah won 6/3.
After their first up
win last week the
Rebels travelled to
Branxholm, and it was
1-1 after two games.
But Branxholm ran
away winning the next
five games with Pat
Oldham, Ian Edwards
and Dennis Steers
playing well. Rebels
finished off winning
the final two game.
Branxholm won 6/3.
R i n g a r o o m a
travelled to Winnaleah
to play the Magpies
after their loss to
Branxholm last week.
Both teams had good
wins in the singles to be
all square at the break.
Ringarooma won the
first doubles through
Chris Forsyth and Craig
Smith. The Magpies'
and
Rainbow
Roo
Paddy Yaxley won the
next game to square it
all up. Playing the last
game both teams had
chances to win but a
miss by the Magpies on
the
black
gave
Ringarooma an easy
shot to win the game.
Better player were
Ringarooma
were
Craig Smith and Peter
Fogarty. Ringarooma
won 5/4.
Federal went up to
Weldborough in good
and
Shaun
form
Vandersluy
and
Kingsley Clarke won
the first two games
with. The home side
fought back and won
the next three games
with Nathan Singline
and Vahaun Oldham
both winning easily.
But Federal steadied
the ship and won all
three doubles to give
them a 6/3 win.
This week's games:
Rebels v Winnaleah;
Ringarooma
v
Weldborough; Federal v
Magpies; Gladstone v
Branxholm.
Under 19 Magpies go
down to Longford
THE Scottsdale Under
19s have missed their
chance to finish on top of
the ladder after losing to
Longford on Saturday.
The Magpies began
well with quick goals
with the wind to Dwyer
and Taylor and hopes
were high for a good
win.
But
Longford
rallied and went to the
break with a one goal
lead.
The next two quarters
were an even affair with
Bourke getting plenty of
the action and Taylor the
main avenue to goal at
full forward. Nichols and
Rainbow were playing
the big man roles
successfully
in
the
absence of number one
ruckman Nettlefold.
Moore created doubt in
the minds of
the
Longford team with his
usual hard at it efforts,
Kerrison was solid all
day. Against the breeze
in the last quarter, the
Magpies opened up a 14
point lead when Moore
marked strongly over
the back of the pack and
kicked a goal from the
grandstand flank.
But the rest of the
quarter belonged to
benefitting
Longford
from Scottsdale errors
using the scoring side
out of the back line.
Three times in the last
quarter the onballers
marked and clearly
should have played on to
strong leads to their
marking forwards but
elected to go back and
take their kicks giving
the Longford back men
time to man up and turn
the ball over.
The Magpies lost by
four points and now the
most likely scenario is
that they will play
Bridgenorth in the
qualifying final.
With one more roster
game to go the boys
should stop and realise
that they are in fact on
the edge of something
never before achieved by
the Scottsdale club in
any grade - three
successive premierships.
Regrettably there are
still
some
notable
absentees from training.
With one more month of
discipline, hard work
and the emphasis on
team play, most people
involved in the club
think that the ultimate
prize can be theirs but
they must dedicate
themselves for one more
month.
After the last roster
game this week at
Scottsdale there will be a
team barbecue.
Tigers claw Frogs into
their way hockey
grand final
back
by Ted Whelan
THE preliminary final
between the RSL Tigers
and Ricketts was a long,
drawn-out affair but the
standard of eightball was
woeful.
Ted Mountney had his
work cut out defeating
Bennett,
while
Alan
Mountney was like a
fisherman with no hook
and was lucky to beat
McDougall.
Wiggins had been out
the back playing noughts
and crosses to calm his
nerves and despite some
sloppy play he got over
Gough
Williams.
went out to a big lead
against Cassidy but the
latter bided his time
playing position shots
which had been as rare as
a visit to town by the
Queen, but he narrowly
missed his chance on the
black allowing Gough back
into the game. Scores:
Tigers 5 d Ricketts 0.
When the kitchen crew
brought out supper, they
informed the players that
the next time they take so
long to finish they will be
given egg sandwiches,
yoke and all!
The grand final will be
held on Thursday August
20 at the RSL club, and
while I don't always favour
the team which has had
the week off, the Tigers
gained nothing from last
week and have lost the
plot. Killers to win!
The
opinion
of
eightball experts was
Sam
Knight
mixed:
(Killers), Nev Wadley
(Killers), Lionel Mountney
Des
Smith
(Tigers),
(Killers), Boss Hayes
(Tigers), Peter Fenton
(Tigers), Heather Reid

SATURDAY’S preliminary
final between Frogs and
Tigers was a closely
contested game. Both teams
were missing key players.
Tigers had regained full
back Kate Templeton but
were without Linda Clow
while the Frogs were
missing Jen Barron who is
a pivotal part of their
defensive line up.
Weather conditions were
favourable and the crowd in
full voice.
The game started at a
frenetic pace with Frogs
dominant early. Valerie
Saville was calling the shots
for Froggies and the young
team was responding
positively. Tigers seemed to
be taking a while to adjust to
the pace and while they
were getting the ball
forward the opportunities
were wasted and loose balls
were being picked off by full
back Kaila Poole who was
again in fine form.
Letitia Johnson was
combining well with sister
Celina but Tigers were
lacking the strength of
Linda Clow in the midfield
and could not penetrate the
Frog
Frogs defence.
forwards Mikalea Saville
and Nicole Munro were
looking dangerous and
Tiger defenders were
working hard but it was
Valerie Saville who struck
first for Frogs midway
through the first half.
The Tigers tried in vain
to even the score with Letitia
Johnson throwing her body
on the line but to no avail.
Frog defenders Sheridan
Kerr, Emily Cox and Kaila
Poole were merciless in
defence.
Frogs were
persistent in attack and
defenders Anita Williams,
Rachel Summers and Kate
Templeton
were
in
overdrive trying to turn
back the tide for Tigers but
Valerie Saville struck again
for Frogs and at the half
time break Frogs were up 20.
After half time the
Tigers were desperate to
score and Anita Williams
and Kate Templeton had
several forays out of defence
in an attempt to create some
forward movement for
Tigers. Several times Tigers
got into the circle only to be
foiled by Frogs' goalie
Lauren Richards. Valerie
Saville was everywhere and
brought the ball out of
defence for Frogs where
daughter Mikaela took over
on the inner and carried the
ball into attack.
Tigers goalie Fiona
Salter made some great
saves in the second half and
Jodi Hopkins and Sam
Salter were also working
well and never gave up all
game. Frogs youngsters
Sheena Jarvis, Elora Bird
and Emily Cox showed some
skill and were useful
contributors for their team.
Frogs
could
sense
victory and pushed harder
to score once again but only
a valiant effort by Tigers
defence kept the score from
blowing out. The Frogs ran
out winners 2-0 in a very
entertaining game and
earned the right to meet
Rovers in the grand final
next Saturday at 12.30pm.
This will be a very
entertaining game between
the two most consistent
teams of 2009. Frogs have a
very strong premiership
record but the Rovers are
unpredictable and anything
could happen.
Cheer squads are urged to
be early for the best seat. The
association thanks Roger,
Ronald and Rodney for the
provision of the tent for the
finals – the shelter is much
appreciated.

Crushed Magpies
shamed at Longford
SCOTTSDALE'S nine game winning
streak came to an embarrassing end at
Longford last week, and raised
reasonable questions about the club's
capacity to be a legitimate force in this
year's NTFA finals.
The Magpies could manage just 1.15
after quarter time in a performance
that showed no respect for Troy
Milne's feat of reaching 300 games.
Coach Anthony Taylor was spot on
when he said the team was beaten in
all facets of the game.
"We didn't respond when they got
on top. We had to shut the game down
and tighten up, but we didn't," he said.
"We're lucky we have another
roster match to get things right," he
added.
Saturday's home game against
Bracknell looms as a big one. The
visitors have to win to stay in the top
five, and they will throw everything at
the Magpies who crumbled under
similar pressure last week.
Last week the midfielders had
absolutely no impact and were always
outnumbered at the contests, and the
forwards were equally disappointing.
Mick Rainbow was the only player
who could hold his head high. Nigel
Thompson was okay early at full
forward but lacked opportunities, and
the Magpies fell down badly across
half-forward which is a concern
coming into the finals.
Roozendaal came off in the third
term with an injured ankle, and may
not come up this week, while Taylor
will still be coaching from the
sidelines. How the team will cope
without Roozendaal remains to be
seen, but if he doesn't play it provides
Damian Brown and Jake Gerke with
chances to press their cause for a
finals berth.
Selectors will also be looking at the
midfield division after last week, and
Jacob Hughes, Beau Tuthill and Liam
Bourke may be considered.
All three teams will play in the
qualifying finals, but any thoughts of a
senior premiership are premature
based
on
last
week's
feeble
performance.
Taylor will be hoping that last
week's loss will be a wake-up call for
his team. They have just one week to
get back on track or face the
possibility of another disappointing
finals series.

Both teams made
changes but it was Dorset

team working together
well.
Magpies' Meg

impact on the game and

and the signs were better
for Magpies. The margin

9.00am
Swifts clawed back with
Kresta Davis and Felicity
Kettle again working well
together in defence and
the margin was just two at
the last break. Crows
stepped up their defence
with Kelcey Lockhart and
Stacey White combining
well to stop Swifts from
scoring and it worked as
Crows pulled further away
to win by 10.
The first week of finals
commences on Friday
night at 6.30pm. The first
semi-final will be between
Magpies and Swifts, and
Dorset will meet Crows in
the second semi-final.
THE NEFU finals series commences on
Saturday at Winnaleah when reigning premiers
Ringarooma meets Branxholm in the first semifinal.
For the first time in many years, any one of
the four finalist this year could take the
ultimate prize, and supporters can look
forward to an exciting four weeks of finals
football.
Ringarooma won the first clash between the
two clubs but the result was reversed in Round
11. Branxholm's form fell away before wins
against the two bottom teams restored some
momentum.
The Robins had a big win last week against
Winnaleah, and maybe they are approaching
the form that saw them snatch a surprising and
memorable victory in last year's grand final.
But they will need to shut down Lee Nichols
and Nick Sutton, the Wanderers' two key
players. Nichols booted 14 goals last week to
reach 100 for the season, while Sutton has been
a very damaging on-baller.
Chris Carins may get the job on Sutton, and
the outcome of this duel could decide the
match. The Wanderers will have an edge in pace
through Jarrah Burns, Matthew Beven and
Jimmy Kelleher, but Ringarooma coach Heath
Fox, Gary Knight and Daniel Kernan have
plenty of finals experience which is always a
valuable quality in cut-throat finals.
While Branxholm can boast century
goalkicker Nichols, Ringarooma's Matthew
Wells and Shaun Collis have booted almost 100
goals between them, and those forward options
may be enough to take the Robins one step
closer to defending their 2008 premiership.
In the Reserves, Branxholm will play St
Helens, while Branxholm and Bridport clash in
the Under 16s.

but the margin couldn’t be
reeled in and Dorset won
be nine.
Crows took on Swifts in
a seasawing match that
saw the lead change many
times. Swifts came out
firing and looked switched
on from the start, playing
good, tough netball with
Isobel Hall outstanding in
attack.
Crows took a while to
get going and Swifts went
into the first break four
up.
Crows refocused
themselves and came back
on and played some great
netball with Megan Butler
working hard on the wing
to get the ball into her
goalies.
Swifts
lost
some
momentum and started to
miss some targets but
were still continuing to
play strong, physical
netball with Rachelle Brill
giving her all in the
centre, but it was Crows
who went in two goals up
at half time.
