Hundreds on Hobart docks for female convict tribute
A SEA of bonnets
overtook Hobart’s Hunter
Street wharf on Mother’s
Day to celebrate artist
Christina Henri’s installation project ‘Roses from
the Heart’.
Dr Henri’s art project
involves the making of
handmade cloth bonnets
to memorialise the
25,566 convict women
transported to Australia
from Britain and Ireland
between 1788 and
1853.
Sparked by a visit to
Hobart’s Female Factory
in 2013, Roses from the
Heart has been a labour
of love for Dr Henri for
more than a decade.
“I knew about male
convicts, but until [the
Hobart Female Factory] I
knew nothing about the
women and I wanted to
share their stories,” Dr
Henri said.
“So, I came up with
the idea of using the
bonnets to symbolise
each of those 25,566
women who endured so
much.”
Joining Dr Henri and
the hundreds wearing
bonnets on the day was
the Speaker of the House
of Assembly and Member for Denison, Elise
Archer MP, and Hobart
Lord Mayor Sue Hickey.
Ms Archer has been
a supporter of Dr Henri’s
project for several years
and said it was gaining
worldwide attention.
“This installation is
a unique way in which
to acknowledge the
immense contribution
these women made to
our emerging nation,”
she said.
“While once having
a convict ancestor would
have been something
that stayed shrouded
in secrecy, Tasmanians
are now proud to tell of
their convict heritage and
the ways in which they
helped to make our state
what it is today.”
Dr Henri – who invited people throughout
the world to make the
cloth tributes with the
names of each woman
sent to Van Diemen’s
Land – only has around
800 bonnets remaining
until her collection is
completed.
For more information
on the project, visit www.
christinahenri.com.au
Crowds gather on the Hobart waterfront clad in old-fashioned bonnets to pay homage to the 25,566 female convicts who were sentenced to transportation to
Tasmania.
Permanent peak for Volunteering Tasmania
AFTER 22 years,
Volunteering Tasmania
has been granted peak
body recognition and
permanent funding by
the State Government.
State Premier Will
Hodgman made the
announcement at a
Volunteering Tasmania
“meet and greet” in Elizabeth Street Mall during
National Volunteer
Week on 13 May.
Peak body status will
include a permanent
$260,000 per annum in
funding from the State
Government, which will
be divided between core
and project funding.
Volunteering Tasmania chief executive
officer Adrienne Picone
said she was jubilant
about the decision,
which had been aptly
announced in line with
the National Volunteer
Week theme, “Give
Happy, Live Happy”.
“This is a significant achievement for
Volunteering Tasmania,”
she said.
“Staff and board
members, past and present, have worked really
hard for this recognition.
“We are so pleased
that the government acknowledges the value in
volunteering, as well as
the value we provide as
a supporter of effective
volunteering in the state.
“This announcement
shows the government’s
commitment to volunteering and the positive
impact it has on Tasmanian communities.”
Volunteering Tasmania’s State of Volunteering: Tasmania 2014
Report showed that four
out of every five Tasmanians volunteer.

COMMUNITY NEWS
Welcome to ‘Our House’
ELIZABETH College’s
annual musical is bigger
and better than ever this
year with the Tasmanian
premiere of the British
musical “Our House”.
Our House tells the
story of Joe Casey, a
young man growing up in
Camden, London in the
1990s, who on the night
of his 16th birthday is
forced to make a decision
that will affect the rest of
his life.
Elizabeth College
teacher and musical director Justan Wagner said
Our House was chosen
as this year’s poduction
because the music was
“so energetic and catchy.”
“We wanted to do
something fun that at the
same time had a great
story, so this show ticked
all the boxes,” he said.
“The structure of the
story is very different
compared to the formula
used in other plays and
musicals as it follows two
possible life paths simultaneously.
“The actors have
had to remember which
‘world’ they are in and
what has happened in
that version of their characters’ lives.”
The colourful performance is set to the
music of British ska band
Madness and includes
hits such as ‘Baggy
Trousers’, ‘My Girl’, ‘It
Must be Love’, as well as
the unforgettable, ‘Our
House’.
“The integration of
The cast of Elizabeth College’s musical production Our House which debuts this month. Photo credit: Tony McKendrick.
the music within the
plot is very clever,” Mr
Wagner said.
“Unlike most jukebox
musicals where the songs
are kind of just thrown
in, in this case it’s like the
songs are written for the
show.”
With a cast, band and
crew of more than 70
students, Mr Wagner said
the performance would
promise to be the theatre
event of the year.
“Elizabeth College has
a strong reputation as a
leader in the performing
arts and we have been
producing musicals every
year since 1993,” he said.
“We always strive for
a high standard of performance and we really try
to be original with our
productions in regards
to presentation, direction
and choreography.
“Because we look
for different genres and
styles, every year it is
always a different and
enjoyable experience.”
Our House is
showing at the Elizabeth
College Theatre until 12
June.

Colony 47 partnership hits huge milestone

Two Dollars for
Change is a hospitality-based fundraising
initiative developed to
support programs that
help disadvantaged and
vulnerable Tasmanians.
Participating restaurants collect donations by
offering their customers a
small donation envelope
alongside the bill at the
end of their meal.
Mr Fraraccio said
the hospitality industry
could make a big difference to disadvantaged
Tasmanians with very
little impact on everyday
operations and that he
looked forward to the
day when more restaurants were on board.
“Staff only need to
be trained to add the
Two Dollars for Change
envelope when they
present the bill to pa-
trons, then it is up to the
customers,” he said.
“We are passionate
about it, our staff are
passionate about it and
our customers think it
is great. It is good for
business and it is good
for our community.”
Colony 47 chief
executive officer Therese
Taylor said the support of restaurants like
Ristorante Da Angelo
had enabled Colony 47
to provide much needed
financial counselling services to Tasmania’s most
vulnerable families.
“The funds raised
through this initiative go
directly to assisting individuals and families with
budgeting skills, financial
management and support for the cost of living
pressures,” she said.
“There are currently
11 participating restaurants in Two Dollars for
Change and we encourage more restaurants to
be a part of this ground
breaking initiative that
is supporting so many
Tasmanians in need.”
Attending the event,
Minister for Human Services Jacquie Petrusma
MP spoke on behalf of
the government, thanking Ristorante Da Angelo
staff and customers, as
well as all the restaurants
that participated in the
fundraising initiative.
“It is only through
partnerships with the
community sector,
private sector and government that together
we can achieve change
for our most vulnerable
Tasmanians,” she said.

Q&A with Will Caught, owner of Workshop café
TO kick off the Hobart Observer’s new dining feature,
we recently ran a competition asking readers to
nominate their favourite place to eat.
The winner was Workshop, an eclectic café and
sandwich bar tucked away in the Trafalgar Shopping
Centre on Collins Street, Hobart.
Owned by Hobart local Will Caught, the part
industrial workshop, part coffee shop is popular with
tradesmen, corporate workers and visitors.
Offering a range of delicious treats including pulled
pork sandwiches, homemade muffins and baristermade coffee, Workshop is an inner-city nook where
you can go to escape the cold weather and enjoy some
hearty comfort food.
When did you get into the hospitality
industry?
My first summer job was in the kitchen of the Henry Jones
Art Hotel. But it was not until I was 23 years old, half way
through a deferred university degree and working fulltime in
the Australian Taxation Office, when I realised I wanted to be
sitting down less and interacting with other people more.
I quit that week to get a job in a whisky distillery and I have
been in hospitality ever since.
How did the idea for the Workshop café come
about?
Workshop is fantastically located for a lot of workers and
visitors in the CBD, and I believe the landlords of Trafalgar
Shopping Centre were keen to get a lively café happening
there.
The name and industrial theme were given to the café by
the previous owners.
I did consider rebranding completely when I took over
four-months -ago, but the existing style had a lot of potential,
so instead of scrapping it entirely I have evolved it into
something more my own.
What is the most popular item on the
Workshop menu?
Workshop is located in the
Trafalgar Shopping Centre,
110 Collins Street Hobart.
Well, our coffee is increasing drastically in popularity, but
in terms of food, the “Reuben” sandwich (rye bread, grilled
cheese, corned beef, sauerkraut and dressing) would have to
be the winner.
The one sandwich can feed two reasonably hungry people
and I have had to start ordering more rye bread so we can
keep up with busy lunch times.
A pair of American tourists also reliably informed me
that our Reuben is the most genuine version they have found
outside of its traditional home in New York.
Who are your greatest culinary influences?
I have to say it - my mum is the biggest influence in my
cooking. She was professionally trained and even worked in
the kitchens of Government House.
I needed so much feeding when I was a growing boy that
she had to teach me to cook just so we could keep up with the
supply of dinners.
I have been lucky enough to work with a variety of
talented chefs in my hospitality career and they have all given
me a few good tips and tricks for food, but the foundation of
my cooking is built from my parents’ unending patience and
more than one explosively messy experiment.
What are your thoughts about the changing
and expanding Hobart restaurant and café
scene?
It is fantastic! I spent a few years in my early 20s travelling
back and forward, and every time I came back to Hobart it felt
like nothing ever changed here.
Now there is this eruption of new venues happening and it
is exciting to be part of such a newly invigorated industry.
I love that people’s expectations for good food and service
are rising and it is great to have new and interesting spots to
discover.
Do you have a guilty/embarrassing food
pleasure?
If you ask my staff they will confirm this - I cannot stop dunking
food in coffee before I eat it!
It is a habit that I picked up from a French housemate a
year or so ago. To start with it was innocent enough, just the
occasional croissant or pastry, but now it has spiralled out of
control to the point where I will dunk my coffee with anything
less runny than coffee.
What would your last meal be?
Something simple and something nostalgic, like home-cooked
roast lamb with rosemary potatoes and really thick gravy.
Or, you know, maybe that Japanese blowfish that has a 20
per cent chance of killing you if it is not prepared correctly,
because what have you got to lose, right?
A CAFE WITH A DIFFERENCE
Great food, great coffee, great cause!
PERMISSION to learn
An opportunity for those struggling to find work, to learn new skills.
PERMISSION to give
Pay-it-forward and purchase a drink or food token, enabling someone in our community
who is unable to put food on the table or have a hot meal, receive one.
ALL sales and funding goes back into Hobart City Mission’s programs and
work to support the Hobart Community.

Local MP takes
the pressure off
Celebrating 21 years
By Dr Sally Towns
Principal MacKillop
Catholic College
2015 marks MacKillop
Catholic College’s 21st
year of operation.
Opening its doors in
1994, with 59 year seven
students and a small
but committed staff and
parent body, the college
has grown and flourished
to reflect the vision of the
college’s founders.
This vision for this
new secondary school on
the Eastern Shore could
best be summed up by
the Archbishop of Hobart,
Archbishop D’Arcy,
who spoke at the official
blessing and opening of
the College.
“… Today we ask
God’s blessing on this
centre of learning: a centre where great thoughts
and ideas can be found…
where an inquiring mind
and honesty are encouraged… where a love and
searching for truth are fostered. We ask that those
who are entrusted with
the education of young
people through this college may teach them how
to join the discoveries of
human wisdom with the
truth of the Gospel…”
To celebrate this
significant milestone in
the life of the college, the
MacKillop Heritage and
Old Scholars Committee
has been working to mark
the occasion.
The highlight of our
celebrations this year
is the 21st Anniversary
Celebration Dinner,
which will be held in the
Century Room at Blundstone Arena on Saturday
8 August.
I warmly welcome all
members of the MacKillop College community
to help us celebrate.
Zero tolerance approach
to family violence
Independent Member for Denison Andrew Wilkie knows the importance of having regular blood pressure checks.
WHEN Denison MP
Andrew Wilkie attended Australia’s Biggest
Blood Pressure Check
12-months-ago he never
expected to receive bad
news.
“It was totally out of
the blue,” Mr Wilkie said.
“I was asked to help
raise awareness, but the
last thing I expected was
to have a high blood
pressure reading.
“I have had normal
blood pressure my
entire life, so I was very
surprised and quite concerned.”
More than 100,000
Tasmanians are living
with high blood pressure,
putting them at serious
and unnecessary risk of
stroke – and many don’t
even know it.
Spurred into action
and on advice, Mr Wilkie
bought a blood pressure
monitor from his local
pharmacy to keep an eye
on his readings, as well as
booked an appointment
with his general practitioner.
He was eventually
diagnosed with a mild
form of hypertension.
On 6 May, the
National Stroke Foundation, in partnership
with Chemmart Pharmacy, once again hosted
Australia’s Biggest Blood
Pressure Check.
Held annually, the
campaign delivers free
checks around the
country to raise vital
awareness of the risks
associated with stroke.
National Stroke Foundation chief executive
officer Dr Erin Lalor said
the Foundation delivered more than 10,000
checks, potentially saving
thousands of lives in the
process.
“One in six people
will have a stroke in their
lifetime; these people are
you, your family, your
friends, your colleagues,”
she said.
“The brutal reality
of stroke is that it will
change your life in an
instant.
“One day you could
be busily going on with
life working, caring for
your family, then suddenly you are struck down
by a stroke and facing
possible death or an ongoing disability that may
limit your ability to walk,
talk and even think.”
Knowing the silent
and deadly nature of
high blood pressure,
Mr Wilkie returned to
Australia’s Biggest Blood
Pressure Check this year
to show his support and
share his story.
“The health professional who took my
blood pressure last year
was there again and I
was keen to tell her my
story and to thank her,”
Mr Wilkie said.
“She was obviously
thrilled to have helped
someone and I’m pleased
to say my blood pressure
readings are all perfectly
fine now.”
Mr Wilkie said that
since his initial blood
pressure check he has
paid greater attention to
his health, buying a Fitbit
and always looking for
opportunities to get out
and walk around.
“My goal was to
reach 10,000 paces a
day and I’m proud to
say I have achieved this,
which is about double
the average for males my
age,” he said.
“I’m on a low dose
blood pressure tablet, I’ve
lost a few kilos and I’m
all better.”
Mr Wilkie said there
were some important lessons to be learned from
his experience, as the
process of discovering his
condition was “reasonably straightforward and
simple.”
“All that was needed
was the initial awareness
of the importance of
regularly checking your
blood pressure,” he said.
“The National Stroke
Foundation’s Australia’s
Biggest Blood Pressure
Check is a practical
opportunity for people
to evaluate their health,
which is no small thing.
“I look after myself
and have regular checkups, so if a person in my
circumstance can have
high blood pressure
then so can many other
people.
“I feel that talking
out publicly and sharing
my story will hopefully
prompt people to get
checked.”

TASMANIA’s peak body
for housing and homelessness, Shelter Tas,
has welcomed the state
government’s zero tolerance approach to family
violence and announcement of additional funding for domestic violence
services and prevention
measures.
Shelter Tas executive
officer Pattie Chugg said
domestic and family
violence continued to
be a significant driver of
homelessness.
Of the 1579 people
identified as homeless in
Tasmania, 26 per cent
permanent accommodation on leaving violent
situations.”
Ms Chugg said
funding for crisis and
longer-term housing
was an essential part of
the solution for these
families to ensure their
safety and enable them
to rebuild their lives.
“We know from our
members who provide
crisis accommodation
and longer-term housing
that there is a chronic
shortage, which can
leave victims of family
violence with nowhere
to go,” she said.

said.
“Not everyone is
aware of the importance

A FINANCIAL MOMENT
Take stock of your
finances for 30 June
Ian Ritchie
Principal Adviser
Ritchie Advice
WHILE the warmer
weather is still several
months away, it is never
too early to start thinking
about sorting through
life’s clutter and getting
more organised in time
for spring.
For many of us the
home, office and garden
shed are the usual targets
on the spring-cleaning
checklist, but giving your
personal finances a tidy
up is also a good idea.
Ian Ritchie, Principal
Adviser for Ritchie Advice, says now is the ideal
time for people to have
a careful look at the state
of their finances, straight-
en out their spending,
clean up any bad credit
and plan for the upcoming tax season.
“Whether your credit
card payments are getting
out of hand or you are
struggling to keep on top
of the school fees, we
all find ourselves - from
time-to-time - stuck on a
‘treadmill’, charging forward at a constant pace
with no foreseeable end
in sight,” he said.
“However, there
could be opportunities
to get ahead and take
control of your finances even when the unexpected happens.”
The end of the
financial year is traditionally associated with
tax, but it is also a good
reminder to review your
investments, debts and
cash flow.
Some investments
will have tax implications
that will need to be
addressed, while changes
to your personal circumstances and the economic landscape may have
had an impact on how
you are tracking towards
your goals.
“We’re encouraging
people not to ‘set and
forget’ their finances if
they want to grow them
and have enough money
for a comfortable retirement,” Mr Ritchie said.
“The end of the financial year is a good time
to take stock and ensure
you are on the right path
financially.”
Mr Ritchie said it was
helpful to consider “ways
our money could be
working harder for us.”
“There are plenty
of ways to benefit from
super’s favourable tax
treatment,” he said.
1. You can claim up to
$500 in government
co-contributions if you
are a low to middle
income earner and
you make after-tax
contributions of up to
$1,000 to your super.
2. You can receive a tax
offset of up to $540
if your spouse is a
low-income earner

THE recent Federal Budget gave
small business owners a boost.
One of the most positive announcements was that if a business
has an annual turnover of less
than $2 million, it was eligible for
a $20,000 tax deduction on the
purchase of most business-related
assets.
This means any item valued at
less than $20,000 used for running
your business is now 100 per cent
tax deductible immediately, rather
than over a number of years.
This includes vehicles, furniture,
computer equipment, photocopiers,
tools, air-conditioning units, televisions, sound and security systems,
and you can apply the $20,000 rule

to as many individual assets as you
want.
Tasmania has a higher percentage of small businesses than any
other state in Australia, so it can
benefit greatly from this announcement, as well as assisting in the opportunity for growth of businesses.
Seeking a loan is one business
growth method.
Many people head straight to
their bank when it comes time to
financing a loan, but they may be
missing out on significant benefits.
There are countless reasons
why it pays to use a broker when
shopping for a loan, and even if
you want to use your own bank,
you can still use a broker to process
paperwork and manage the application on your behalf.
This leaves you free to run your
own business.
A broker can be your best
friend and personal banker, offering
choice, experience, specialisation
and follow-up.

New online
farmers’
marketplace a
real ‘pozibility’
A NEW grassroots project is aiming to change
the way Tasmanian
consumers access their
food.
“Fork to Fork” is an
online farmers’ market
designed by Sprout Tasmania, a not-for- profit
organisation dedicated
to supporting local food
producers.
The site will allow
cafes, restaurants and
grocery stores to buy
local produce directly
from producers.
Sprout chief executive Alice Percy said
the online marketplace
would enable chefs and
grocers to directly select
and buy produce that
was in season and fresh.
“It will be a win-win
for producers, who will
have their own retail
store, and commercial
customers, who will be
able to view what produce is available, where
it is grown or raised and
when it can be delivered,” she said.
Dr Percy said with
produce initially tended
by the fork in the
ground, Tasmanian consumers would also benefit by enjoying freshly
harvested food via the
fork on their plate.
“Consumers
increasingly expect to
know where their food
comes from and we
anticipate that chefs and
grocers will be able to
take pride in explaining
the provenance of the
produce and the interesting stories behind it,” she
said.
To raise the set-up
funds needed, Sprout
Tasmania has launched
a “Pozible” Fork to Fork
crowd-funding campaign.
“We have already
been donated a delivery
van and we have a clear
vision of producers
being able to log into
the marketplace and list
the produce they have
for sale,” Fork to Fork
project manager Erika
Avellaneda Celis said.
“But we need money to be able to build
the website and make it
all happen.”

Paul Shearing and his daughter, Raquel, strike a pose for the Snapshot community photography project.
A COMMUNITY initiative using the power of
imagery and storytelling
has helped to celebrate
the lives of those closest
to people with disabilities.
“Snapshot” is
the brainchild of UR
Connected, a major
community arts project
by Supported Tenancy
Accommodation and
Respite (STAR) Tasmania
and the Parkside Foundation.
The event, which
was held during National
Families Week in Hobart,
involved a team of photographers volunteering
their skills to take free
portraits of individuals
and their family members
with a disability.
Snapshot photographer Ron Franks said
the team was excited to
share the stories of those
in the community who
give so much of themselves.
“Often these are people who do not have the
time, let alone desire, for
family portraits,” he said.

BEST known for the
iconic South Hobart Tip
Shop, Resource Work
Cooperative is a growing
not-for-profit enterprise
on a mission to change
the way Tasmanians view
their rubbish.
Founded in 1993,
Resource has three goals:
to reduce waste, to create sustainable employment and to promote
waste minimisation in
the community.
Starting as a small
shop running out of a
shipping container, Resource has grown into a
self-sustaining enterprise,
diverting more than
1000 tonnes of materials from landfill each
year through the South
Hobart Tip Shop, Collectables, the Community Pick Up Service, the
Deconstruction Service
and Art From Trash.
Resource Work
Cooperative coordinator
Matthew Allen said the
South Hobart Tip Shop,
which opened in 1995,
was now the largest tip
shop in Tasmania, stocking countless salvaged
and donated treasures.
“Just about
everything that has ever
been sold is given a second chance from ending
up as landfill – books,
clothing, homewares,
building materials, sports
equipment, tools, gardening equipment and
much more,” he said.
“The Tip Shop also
incorporates a drivethrough Resource Recovery Area where customers can drop off their
reusable goods and save
a trip to the landfill.”
Resource Work
Cooperative has been
recognised for its
achievements with a
number of awards over
the years, including the
Dr Edward Hall Environment Award, The Small
Business Sustainability
Award and the Minister’s
Choice Award in the
Tasmanian Awards for
Environmental Excel-
lence.
“As a not-for-profit
enterprise, every dollar
earned through the sale
of reusable goods goes
back into fulfilling the
goals of reducing waste,
creating sustainable employment, and promoting waste minimisation
in the community,” Mr
Allen said.
“Resource has also
supported hundreds of
community groups over
the years with donations

“Outstanding,”Fred replied.”They taught us the latest

“That’s great! What was the name of the clinic?”

QUIZ
DISC of the month: Foxcatcher
Wearing a rubber nose doesn’t necessarily guarantee you an Oscar. Nicole Kidman got one for her prominent proboscis as Virginia Woolf, but Ian McKellen didn’t as Gandalf. Neither did Steve
Carell, whose beak-like hooter in Foxcatcher helped transform him from funny to frightening. Nasal jokes aside, it’s Carell’s spellbinding performance as eccentric millionaire and wrestling coach
John du Pont that makes Bennett Miller’s tragic, true-life sports story an absolute must-see – we’ll leave you to discover the grim details of what transpired on the Foxcatcher ranch, when du
Pont secured the services of Olympic Gold Medal-winning wrestler Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) and his brother Dave (Mark Ruffalo) to train a team for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. The theme
of a naive youngster being seduced by wealth, drugs and success recalls both Boogie Nights and Behind the Candelabra, and a disturbing and uncomfortable tone saturates this intense character
study; a mood heightened by Carell’s incredibly creepy portrayal (full of awkward silences and calculating stares) of a man stewing in his own emotional repression. While Carell’s transformation is
a highlight, Channing Tatum undergoes an equally impressive metamorphosis from hunky rom-com regular and Jonah Hill comedy sidekick to brooding and bitter former champion consumed by
a similar sense of self-loathing. Ruffalo (always good) received the film’s supporting actor Oscar nom, but it was Tatum who really deserved it. Foxcatcher offers much more than just watching two
Hollywood stars playing against type – it’s the antithesis of all those feel-good, formula American sports films, and that alone is worth the price of the disc.

ALBUM of the month: Jamie xx - In Colour
It’s tempting to lazily tag Jamie Smith (AKA Jamie xx) as the latest wunderkind. But both his production track record (Radiohead and Florence remixes, the honour of re-working Gil Scott-Heron’s
final album) and the thrilling nature of new solo album In Colour mean the epithet fits. One third of UK band The xx, Jamie spent three years completing this love letter, of sorts, to the better
elements of England’s dance scene of the last 25 years. By no means simply a disparate collection of strong ideas, In Colour is best experienced from start to finish – because it’s an energised,
assured and compelling rush that should beguile, engage and exhilarate anybody with a genuinely curious ear and an eye on new directions in music. It’s also a quintessentially, and quite
deliberately, British record. Jamie bathes proudly in fragmented strands of UK dance culture, dipping into everything from post-jungle dissonance to urban soul, scattering disembodied samples
of English street and club life throughout. But what makes In Colour really captivating is the ease with which it skates around clichés; it’s a skillfully danced tightrope between the soulful and the
melodic that avoids overloading the empty spaces, and talks to those who live the experiences of the culture it comes from. It’s a real music lover’s record, about being who you want, if only for a
night. Opener Gosh is all clamouring, scattershot, rhythmic clatters and threatening bass before a tide of over-arching keys (that may, gently, remind you of The Clash’s Straight to Hell) give way to
Sleep Sound, a vaguely bucolic step and shuffle best heard on headphones. See Saw ups the rhythm and the ante with a tasteful house feel, as The xx’s Romy Madley-Croft makes her first of two
guest vocal turns. Just Saying is a perfect mid-point: it’s the drift in the ears at dawn after that big night – when next you wander deserted streets at sunrise, here’s a soundtrack. The dank bass
textures and sirens of Hold Tight summon classic UK electro (a touch of Orbital), while Loud Places will be an anthem (Romy’s other guest spot is a star turn; the refrain is a rush, and an earworm).
But it’s Oliver Sim’s beautiful vocal turn on Stranger in a Room that sums up In Colour, his voice hanging in the song’s delicate space: “You want to disappear in a crowd/ just a stranger in a room/
change your colour/ just for the night.” It’s got a digital heart and an analogue soul: a dance record few will move to, but a captivating journey through pure music to be enjoyed.

GAME of the month: The Witcher III: Wild Hunt
You wake up in your keep, walk to the balcony and look out over a mountain range more picturesque than anything you’ve seen in a video game since Skyrim. Welcome to The Witcher III. They
told us it would be big, but we never expected this. CD Projekt Red’s latest redefines the term “open-world role-playing game”, where choice plays such a dominant role. Faced with a world where
good and evil aren’t necessarily obvious, you find yourself fretting over the choices you make, and worrying about their potential impact on the world around you. The Witcher III offers a realm of
limitless exploration. Tasked with searching for protagonist Geralt’s adopted daughter Ciri and partner Yennifer, players must use their monster-slaying skills and acute Witcher senses to take on
the ravages that the game world throws at you. The combat system works seamlessly with its newly-implemented dodge mechanics, and the Witcher signs will prove invaluable when you need to
turn the battle in your favour. Being a professional never looked or felt so satisfying. When you’re not following the main quest, there are a plethora of side-quests – which don’t simply ask you
to be a courier – with the potential to keep you occupied for hours (and we mean hours). The vibrant environment in which you find yourself begs to be discovered and a compelling narrative will
have you thinking about the game long after a session has concluded. Why this game is so appealing is difficult to put into words. If you’re a fan of RPGs, The Witcher III is simply a must-buy. Get
lost in the allure of this engaging open world; become distracted hunting rabbits, or let the story engross you. The Hunt is afoot.

COMMUNITY NEWS
Ogilvie students explore Stay ChatTY
the Western Front
plans inaugural
charity ball
The Frank MacDonald Memorial Prize group at the Bayernwald trenches on the Ypres Salient battlefields, Belgium.
OGILVIE High School
students Alice Curtain
and Lilah Gmelig recently commemorated the
ANZAC centenary in a
very special way.
As two of five Tasmanian students who won
the Frank MacDonald
Memorial Prize (FMMP),
Miss Curtain and Miss
Gmelig travelled to
northern France and
Belgium to visit World
War 1 (WWI) battlefields
on the Western Front.
The FMMP is an
essay-based competition
for year nine students
that promotes and
preserves the meaning of
the ANZAC spirit in the
Tasmanian community.
Miss Curtain said she
had always been interested in WWI and history
in general, so when she
heard about the FMMP
she was “immediately
intrigued.”
“I chose to enter
because the chance to
learn more about WWI
and our soldiers would
be a once in a lifetime
opportunity,” she said.
“I became very fascinated with the personal
stories of the ANZACs
and their families’ experiences at home, along
with how the legend has
survived for 100 years.”
Miss Gmelig said her
interest was sparked after
learning about WWI in
class.
“I was looking to
push myself a bit further
and the FMMP was the
perfect opportunity,” she
said.
“My dad has always
had an interest in WWI
and it surely rubbed off
on me.
“Ever since I was
little he has taken me to
the ANZAC Day Dawn
Service and I have always
known the importance
of remembering our
diggers.”
The FMMP group
travelled to France and
Belgium from 16-30
April.
The students spent
10 days visiting WWI
battlefields on the Western Front, where Frank
MacDonald (Tasmania’s
last surviving ANZAC
soldier) bravely fought.
Miss Gmelig said
when she found out a
she had won a spot on
the trip there were “tears,
screams and honest
disbelief.”
“The prize was so incredible, it was unbelievable to me,” she said.
“I was so excited
about learning things in a
way I never have before
and we got to experience
something together that
not many people would
understand the power
behind.
“I want to go back
some day with my dad
and show him all the
amazing places we went
– all the places he’s read
of and is interested in.
“After all, he started
this passion for me, so it’s
something I want him to
experience as well.”
Miss Curtain said
the trip, and experience
as a whole, was more
than she ever could have
imagined.
“The previous participants had told me stories, so my expectations
were high,” she said.
“But the experience
of FMMP was more than
their stories could ever
tell. It has changed my
life.”
As part of the competition, students were
required to answer one
of two questions about
WWI via an essay or
media presentation.
In her essay, Miss
Curtain discussed the
significance of ANZAC
Day in the immediate
years after the Gallipoli
landing.
“I discussed how ANZAC Day has the ability
to bring us together as
a nation and how it is
important to remember
the event because there
is no longer anyone alive
who was at the Gallipoli
landing,” she said.
“I chose this stance
because of the people
who celebrate it and how
it represents our modern
Australia being recognised by the world.”
Miss Gmelig took a
different approach and
argued the importance
of ensuring that both
service men and women
were equally honoured
for forging the ANZAC
spirit.
“I believe that our
nurses are the forgotten
heroes of WWI,” she
said.
“Especially at that
time, and even now, they
aren’t viewed as sharing
the same spirit that the
men are so well known
for.
“Irrespective of
rank, role or duty, all
those who served for
our country did so with
courage, resilience and
mateship.”

Members of the Stay ChatTY inaugural charity ball committee are from left, Karen Ford, Mitch
McPherson, Brooke Batchelor, Emma Mahoney and Ami Cason. Absent: Jane Mannion, Kim Rosinski, Kelley Jurgens, Chantal Hopwood, Tessa Cason and Sahar Mohamad.
MITCH McPherson
has spent the past two
years hosting community
events and fundraisers
and talks across schools,
workplaces and clubs in
a bid to communicate a
key message – “SPEAK
UP! Stay ChatTY”.
After tragically losing
his brother Ty to suicide
in 2013, Mr McPherson
founded SPEAK UP!
Stay ChatTY - a registered not-for-profit charity that continues to grow
by raising awareness
about the importance of
seeking help and helping
others.
However, perhaps
the largest of Stay ChatTY’s events is to come
with the announcement
of the inaugural SPEAK
UP! Stay ChatTY Confetti charity ball, which
will be held on Saturday
8 August at Princes
Wharf No. 1. Shed.
Confetti is collaboration between Stay
ChaTY and the National
Australia Bank (NAB)
to raise much-needed
funds and awareness for
suicide prevention.
The black tie function will include guest
speakers, live band
entertainment, a raffle,
an auction, and food
and alcohol.
Among the highlights
will be a stand up comedy routine by special
guest Matt Okine from
Triple J’s Matt and Alex
breakfast program.
SPEAK UP! Stay
ChatTY is now Mr
McPherson’s fulltime
job, something he said
he would never have
predicted.
“I say it every day
that I would go back
to being a glazier to
have my brother back,
but this is what I feel I
should be doing now,”
he said.
“This ball will be an
awesome night, while
also raising money and
awareness for suicide
prevention – it is a ‘win,
win’.
“However, it would
not be possible without
our sponsors or the
hard work of NAB staff
and for that I am truly
grateful.”
SPEAK UP! Stay
ChatTY Confetti inaugural charity ball tickets are
$190 per person, which
includes all entertainment, food and alcohol.

The Dog Grumbler
IN previous articles I
have discussed patience
as applied to obedience
and behaviour training.
However, patience
is just as an important
topic when dealing with
problems.
Patience is perhaps
the most important
quality for a dog trainer
and without it you are
doomed.
A dog cannot understand spoken word
so you have to show
commands. This is how
all animals learn, by
predicting events based
on experience.
To teach a dog the
behaviour you require
from it you have to create that experience more
than one time.
Having said that,
there are occasional
instances where a dog
understands something
immediately.
It will only step in a
fire once, for example,
but most of the things
we want our dogs to
learn involve living in
human society.
Dogs are still
non-verbal, olfactory,
movement-focused
animals living in a visual,
verbal human system
and need time to build a
boundary.
Do not give up just
because something does
not work straight away.
Your dog is capable of
learning almost anything
as long as you are clear,
repetitive and consistent
and that means time and
patience.
Most of the time
when I help with dog
behavioural problems,
I meet the dog and its
owner/s and finish by
telling them that there is
nothing wrong with their
dog that cannot be fixed
by clarity, repetition, consistency and patience.
It is not easy, just
simple. The dog will do
the work if you give it a
chance.
This does not mean
repeating yourself for an
entire day, it just means
doing it the same way
every time.
Let your dog sleep
on a completed sequence and create a
memory that involves
the thing it reacts to and
ends happily.
This is how some
people get to have amaz-
ingly well behaved dogs.
It has nothing to do
with the price owners
paid for training or the
size of the enclosure the
dogs live in.
In every case those
teach you what is truly
valuable in your time on
this earth and will reward
you beyond your dreams
if you are patient and respect it for the wonderful
creature that it is.

Toxic foods for your pets
By North Hobart
Veterinary Hospital
SHARING human foods
with our beloved pets
can be very dangerous.
Below is a list that
will help you understand
some of the common
foods or dangers around
the house.
But remember, this
list does not include all
toxins to animals.
If you are worried
that your pet my have
ingested something toxic
check with your vet
immediately.
Dangerous foods
that pets should
never eat:
• Chocolate, coffee
and tea: These
products naturally
contain a chemical that
can cause vomiting
and diarrhea, excessive
thirst and urination,
agitation and seizures,
abnormal heart rhythm
and even death.
• Alcohol:
Alcohol can cause
vomiting, diarrhea,
incoordination,
breathing difficulties,
tremors, coma and the
possibility of death.
• Macadamia nuts:
These nuts have
caused weakness,
depression, vomiting,
tremors and fever in
dogs.
• Grapes, raisins and
sultanas: These fruits
are sweet and readily
available in the fresh or
dried form. However,
the toxic part is not yet
identified and eating
them can cause kidney
failure in animals.
• Yeast dough:
Yeast dough can rise
and cause gas to
accumulate in your
pet’s digestive system.
This can be painful and
can cause the stomach
or intestines to rupture.
• Avocado: The
leaves, fruit, seeds
and bark of avocados
contain persin, which
can cause vomiting
and diarrhea in dogs.
Birds and rodents are
especially sensitive to
avocado poisoning as
it can affect the heart
and lung function.
Some ingestions may
even be fatal.
• Onions and
garlic: These can
cause gastrointestinal
irritation and may
lead to life threatening
anemia. Problems can
arise from long term
feeding.
• Xylitol: This maybe
found in sugar free
gums and sweets.
Only a small amount
is needed to cause
vomiting, seizures and
liver damage or failure.
• Lillies: A beautiful
flower, but can be
highly toxic to cats if
they touch or eat any
part of it. Signs range
from vomiting and
diarrhea to kidney
failure.
• Human
medications: Vets
have seen a number of
accidental poisonings
recently. Ensure
that sure all human
medications are out
of your pet’s reach.
Human medicines can
be fatal to our pets.
If you think your pet
may have eaten a toxic
substance contact your
veterinarian immediately.
Your veterinarian
needs to know the
substance, the amount
that was eaten and at
what time it was eaten.
Time is crucial to
your pets’ survival.

We are Giving back to Hobart’s
family – unsung heroes
Hobart
rejoices
FAMILIES in Hobart
recently came together to celebrate in the
community with a range
of activities held during
National Families Week.
The Hobart City
Council and the Hobart
Children and Family
Network hosted and
supported a number of
events from 15 to 21
May that embraced the
National Families Week
2015 theme, “Stronger
Families, Stronger Communities”.
The first event in the
National Families Week
program was the launch
of the “Child Friendly
Hobart” artwork project
in the Wellington Walk
playground.
The initiative, which
was founded by the City
of Hobart and supported by the Tasmanian
Early Years Foundation,
aimed to depict what
a child-friendly Hobart
looked like to local
children.
It is hoped the
permanent frames that
the artwork is displayed
in will provide an
ongoing opportunity for
the council to highlight
children’s voices in the
future.
Hobart Lord Mayor
Sue Hickey said the
annual National Family
Week was a time to celebrate with your family,
make contact with your
extended family and
friends, and share in the
enjoyment of family activities within the wider
community.
“It is a time to
celebrate the meaning
of family and to make
the most of family life,”
she said.
Other activities
during National Families
Week 2015 included
“City of Hobart Bush
Adventures” introduction to orienteering
programs, sessions on
how to build a healthy
lunchbox, family fun in
Elizabeth Street Mall
and a balloon-filled
story time at the Hobart
LINC.

THE important contribution of thousands of
volunteers was recently
celebrated at the City of
Hobart 2015 Volunteer
Recognition Awards.
Hobart Lord Mayor
Sue Hickey said the
program was celebrating
its 20th anniversary this
year.
“These awards
present a wonderful
opportunity to recognise
the significant contribution of individual
volunteers across Hobart

that pursue excellence in
volunteer management,”
she said.
This year 41 organisations were nominated for
the Volunteer Recognition Award and four
organisations were nominated for the Award for
Best Practice in Volunteer
Management.
“Volunteers generally receive no material
reward and yet 160,000
Tasmanians give up
their time to work as
volunteers every year,”
Alderman Hickey said.
“Volunteers are vital
to our society and our
economy.
“It is hard to imagine
our society functioning
without the resources,
time and effort that is
freely contributed by
volunteers.”
Hobart City Council’s
Community, Culture and
Events chairman Dr Peter
Sexton said the Award
for Best Practice in Volunteer Management was
particularly special.
“This award is presented to an organisation
that demonstrates the
pursuit of best practice
in co-ordinating, training,
supporting and formally
recognising their volunteers and involving them
in decision making,” he
said.
“The judges commented on the examples
of great work being done
in the area of volunteer
management.
“The pursuit of ‘Best
Practice’ in volunteer
management deserves
attention particularly
considering that four out
of every five Tasmanians
volunteer.
This year’s award for
Best Practice Volunteer
Management went to the
Colony 47 Community
Christmas Lunch.
The Friends of the
Theatre Royal received
a highly commended
award.
“I extend my congratulations to all of the
nominees and winners
and thank them for their
commitment to the wellbeing of our community,”
Ald Hickey said.

I specifically talked
about “Big Hairy Audacious Goals” (BHAG),
which was a term proposed by James Collins

1994 book “Built to

Visionary Companies”.
BHAGs are goals that
change you, that make

you strive to become a
“better you” and scare
you enough to take action
every day.
These are goals that
force your way out of
your comfort zone, that
excite you and maybe,
even excite the people
around you.
My BHAG was walking to Everest Base Camp
on the Tibetan side.
Over a 12-month
period I prepared myself
physically, mentally and
emotionally for this trek.
However, by day
three of this 21-day trip it
was all over.
I was in Nepal when
the devastating earthquake hit the country
on 25 April and immediately knew that we
would not be trekking to
Everest Base Camp this
time, and that this poor
country would be forever
changed.
So what next? What
to do when you set
your heart on something
and cannot complete it
through no fault of your
own? What lessons can
be learned?
Of course, there was a
lot of personal disappointment, but this was quickly
put into perspective when
I saw the destruction of
beautiful Nepal and the
effect this disaster had on
its cheerful people.
I was back in Tasma-

nia within a week having
had what can only be described as a “whistle stop
tour” of Chinese airports
and one-and-a-half days in
beautiful Lhasa, Tibet.
I was exhausted,
emotional and anxious,
yet happy to be alive with
my lovely family back in
Tasmania where the earth
does not rock beneath
our feet.
For a few days I was
very restless.
I wanted to hike and
head off on any number
of difficult treks.
Kokoda, the Overland
Track, Rinjani, Larapinta
and Jatbula all came to
mind and all were rejected because they were
“too emotional,” “too volatile,” “not hard enough,”
or “I did not have someone to go with.”
It was time to set a
new goal.
I am now comfortable
with my decision to stay
put and properly plan a
few local walks.
Not much beats what
we have in Tassie – it is
temperamental, hard,
sometimes technical and
isolated, and the chance
of an earthquake or
volcano erupting is very
unlikely.
I have joined a local
hiking group and I have
a new local hiking buddy
who I trust.
Finding a BHAG
taught me a lot about
myself.
When a friend asked
whether I was disappointed about putting in all
that physical preparation
and not using it, I could
honestly say I was not.
It was a great year
where I was fully focused
on a goal.
It was the journey that
mattered, the destination
was secondary.
I have kept the exercise habits, mindset and I
am eating well.
Perhaps you can
relate to this, or perhaps
not, but once again I
suggest you look deeply
at a BHAG, be brave and
go for it.

NEARLY one in every
five Australian women
has experienced physical
or sexual abuse at the
hands of an intimate
partner and a quarter
has experienced emotional abuse.
Research also shows
that close to 40 women
have lost their lives this
year alone, and many
more fear for their
safety.
Domestic violence
affects women from
all walks of life, across
all cultures and all
communities, and has
many negative effects
on women’s health and
wellbeing.
Unfortunately, many
women experiencing
domestic violence or in
unhealthy or unsafe relationships do not receive
the support that they
need. Some women feel
uncomfortable attending a domestic violence
service or telling a
health professional what
is happening at home
because they do not see
themselves as a “domestic violence victim”.
Meanwhile others
are afraid that they will
be judged for wanting
to stay, or, alternatively,
criticised for wanting to
leave.
For rural and regional women or women
with disabilities, their
location or personal
situation can make it dif-

is equipped with various
safety features such as a
“quick exit” button.
Preliminary testing
by the university has
suggested that I-DECIDE could be a good
“first step” when women
are unsure of where to
go and what to do. One
woman commented that
after using I-DECIDE,
she felt “reassured, as
though my feeling afraid
or unsafe was taken
seriously.”
I-DECIDE is currently being tested to
measure its effectiveness
in the wider population.
All women aged 1650 who have concerns

In a bid to address
some of these issues,
researchers from The
University of Melbourne
have developed a new
website called I-DECIDE.
The website allows
women who feel
personally unsafe or
afraid of their partner to
assess the health of their
relationship, consider
their safety, weigh up
their priorities and make
an individualised plan
for action.
It is designed to help
women make decisions
about their safety, and
that of their children,
whether they wish to
stay, leave, or have
already left the relationship.

Wondrous winter

Susannah Slatter, of Overdressed Market, says we should shop our own wardrobes this winter before forking out on new trendbased items.

IS Mt Wellington covered
in snow? Are you getting
to work when it is still
dark? Is there nothing but
football on the television?
If the answer is yes,
this can only mean one
thing – winter is here.
It also means that we
need to review our wardrobes and prepare for the
impending onslaught of
cold weather.
And while it might be
tempting to run out and
spend a small fortune,
there are a few ways
that you can prepare for
winter on a budget.
It might sound
obvious, but the best
place to start is your own
wardrobe.
If your heavy-duty
winter items are hidden
away in the back of your
closet, it is time to pull
them out and give them
a good once-over.
Is the style/colour/
size of that beloved coat
still as flattering as it
used to be, or has it seen
better days?
If it is a quality item
that you are just a bit
bored with, consider
updating the buttons or
combining it with some
brightly coloured accessories, such as a scarf for
a bit of a lift.
You will be amazed
at how simple it can
be to give your “go-to”
winter outfit a brand new
look.
Layering can also be
your friend, as the weather gets colder.
Rather than a new
dress, you might just
need a few pairs of tights
to transform your summer classic into winter’s
hottest new look.
Now that you know
what you already have,
you can figure out what
is still missing from your
winter wardrobe.
Whether it is a new
jacket, pants or pair of
boots, splurge a little for
quality pieces that will
stand the test of time.
Winter clothes
are particularly worth
investing in because
they are often timeless
staples – think leather
jackets, trench coats and
cashmere scarves.
And do not forget
to consider how your
new pieces will work
with your existing clothes
for a look that will see
through to next season
and beyond.
If you are on a
budget and investing in
expensive items is not
worth maxing out your
MasterCard for, there are
other options.
In Hobart we are
lucky to be spoilt for
places that offer great
quality pre-loved clothing.
The Overdressed
Market is perfect for
frugal fashionistas who
want to update their
wardrobe at bargain prices, and Facebook groups
such as Hobart Clothing
Exchange and HCE
Sartorial mean you can
shop for winter bargains
in your pyjamas.
And do not forget
your local op shop!
Op shops are an
excellent starting point in
the hunt for key pieces
and you will be inspired
by what you find.
You will also be
supporting local charities
doing valuable work in
the community – both
by donating those clothes
that no longer have a
place in your wardrobe,
and finding their feelgood replacements.
*Susannah Slatter
is the coordinator and
founder of Overdressed
Market, a quarterly fashion market for new and
pre-loved women’s clothing, shoes, jewellery and
accessories in Hobart.

and Sunday 13 December.

Doona drive helps the homeless
BROADBILL SWORDFISH
Goodman Conveyancing’s Millie Garrett, left, and Kate Goodman with blankets they will be donating to homeless Tasmanians this
winter.
GOODMAN Conveyancing owner Kate
Goodman spends her
days helping people buy
their own home.
As another cold
Tasmanian winter begins,
however, the stark contrast between those with
homes and those without
is hard for her to ignore.
“During the recent
staff meeting we decided
to help Tasmanians who
are homeless or struggling to keep warm this
An average day out fishing with the boys turned into a thrilling adventure, with crew
reeling in an enormous 108-kilogram swordfish.
By Jonah Yick
ON Thursday 30 of
April, after months
of preparation, it was
time to finally try
and catch a broadbill
swordfish.
My friends John
Huskins and Rob
Keeley were both as
excited as I was to get
going.
John was particularly keen to get
back on the water
after catching his
own swordfish just a
month earlier, which
weighed in at a mammoth 180 kilograms.
However, before
we could get out
fishing, the wiring and
lights on my trailer
needed replacing, as
well as the installation of a brand new
sounder and transducer specifically for
deep dropping off the
continental shelf.
Luckily, a quick
call to Glenn at
Formula Marine Tech
meant everything
was sorted within a
couple hours and we
were all set.
After dropping the
bait down to the bottom of the seafloor to
around 450 metres, it
took only 15 minutes before we had
a bite – a swordfish
came flying out of the
water and the fight
was on.
Not long after
we had the big fish
pulled up alongside
the boat and it was
all over.
The magnificent
fish weighed in at
108 kilograms and
the meat was cut up
and shared amongst
many different families.

said.
“We’ve given
ourselves a target that
for the entire month of
June we will donate one
blanket per settlement to
the St Vincent De Paul

“We’re hoping to be
able to present Vinnies
with at least 300 blankets and make a huge
difference to the quality
of life for many struggling
Tasmanians.”
Homelessness affects
1579 Tasmanians and
15 per cent are children

Affecting men,
women and children
from all walks of life, the
most common causes
are financial difficulties,

accommodation crisis.
Southern regional
manager for the St

during the winter months
the society struggled to
keep up with the great
number of calls for
assistance for doonas and
blankets.
“We are very grateful

Free whooping cough vaccine for pregnant women
ALL pregnant women in
Tasmania will be eligible
to receive a free whooping cough vaccination
from 1 June 2015.
The free vaccine will
be available for all women in their third trimester
to protect babies in the
first weeks after they are
born.
Women can obtain
the vaccine from their
general practitioner and
from councils that provide adult vaccinations
in addition to hospital
antenatal services that
choose to provide it.
The Tasmanian Government will fund the
free vaccine for the first
time following an update
to the 10th Edition of the
Australian Immunisation
Handbook in late March
that recommended
whooping cough vaccination in the third trimester
of pregnancy.
Minister for Health
Michael Ferguson said it
was important for mothers to have the vaccine
early in every pregnancy,
even in pregnancies are
closely spaced, to ensure
maximum protection to
every infant.
“Whooping cough
can be deadly, especially
for newborns, and this
program provides them
with the protection they
need during the first
weeks of life,” he said.
Mr Ferguson said
contemporary evidence
showed that the ideal
time for vaccination was
between weeks 28 and
32 of pregnancy.

Dramatic
Damien
By Paula Xiberras
DAMIEN Leith is a regular visitor to Tasmania.
Recently he was in the state to take part
in “Camp Gallipoli”, where the community
had a chance to camp under the stars like
the original diggers and enjoy some entertainment while doing so.
Damien described the event as “brilliant” and enjoyed the chance to spend
some time roaming the streets of Hobart.
One of the meanings behind the
Leith name is “wide” and suitably, it’s very
difficult to think of any other person in the
public eye that shows accomplishment in
such a wide variety of areas.
With a scientific background in chemistry, a well-known career as a musician/
performer, songwriter and author, Damien
now adds playwright and actor to that list.
Damien tells me that acting was his
first career choice until he happened to
find himself performing as a musician and
enjoying it.
His love for acting has not abated and
when he was asked by singer and TV host
David Campbell and his wife (organisers of
the Adelaide festival four-years-ago) to create something “Irish”, so began the journey
of Damien’s play “The Parting Glass”, taking
its name from the Scottish/Irish song.
The premise of the play is the relationship between an Irish father and son, the
latter of whom has left Ireland with hopes
and dreams for life in Australia and has for
five years ceased family connections and, as
Damien said, “just vanished.”
The play picks up the story when the
father and son are reunited. Damien says
he based some of the attributes of the
father on the many characters he observed
when he worked as a barman in Ireland.
The play will also showcase Damien’s
new album of Irish songs, the recording of
which has long been a career ambition.
The play unfolds in the setting of a
pub with the band playing and the songs
interspersed through the dramatic action at
various points.
Some of the songs are integral to the
play such as “Raglan Road” which has a
particular relevance to the character of the
father, while the other songs that will be
included are a surprise for each outing of
the play.
Damien adds that the play has funny
aspects interwoven though its many different layered dimensions.
You can see Damien in the Parting
Glass on 14 August 2015 at Wrest Point
Showroom, Hobart. The show starts at
8pm.
Ladies football luncheon
a huge success
THE Hobart (Tigers)
Football Club recently held its first annual
“Ladies Luncheon” in
honour of the important
role women play in
their football club and
community.
On Saturday 23
May, around 90 female
football club members
and supporters gathered
at the Tasmanian Cricket
Association (TCA)
grounds for a catered
two-course meal that celebrated their contribution
to the sport.
Hobart Football
Club ladies committee
member Beth Jeffrey said
women were an important part of all football
clubs.
“Our club has long
been acknowledged as
a family club, so holding
such events provides the
opportunity for younger
and older women to
bond while working for a
common cause,” she said.
“The events that we
hold are not only for
our members but for the
community to share, as
we are mindful of our
youth and the vehicle
our football club provides
in their development.”
The luncheon was
also attended by “on the
couch” guest speakers,
including Member
for Denison and vice
president of the Southern
Football League (SFL)
Madeleine Ogilvie MP
and ‘Annybody Wellness’
leader Anny Fodor.
“Madeleine spoke of
the importance of women’s involvement in our
game and time sharing
between work and play,
while Anny spoke on the
importance of women’s
health issues,” Ms Jeffrey
said.
“Having these guest
speakers was well received by all in attendance who look forward
to next year’s event.”
Ms Ogilvie said the
women’s luncheon was
a key date in the club’s
football calendar.
“The Hobart Football
Club joined the SFL at
our invitation and we
are very supportive of its
traditions and history,”
she said.
“The luncheon was
well attended with 90
women enjoying the
warm hospitality, and I
look forward to seeing the Hobart Tigers
go from strength to
strength.”
Ms Ogilvie said the
SFL was working hard to
support clubs in building
community connections,
as well as encouraging
female involvement in
board positions.
“Unfortunately, there
is still a lot of work to do
when it comes to upgrading club facilities across
the south,” she said.
“The TCA grounds
are in desperate need
of improvement and we
fully support the Hobart
Tigers in calling for an
urgent upgrade.”

HOBART’S Domain
Athletics Centre took on
a distinctly pink tinge on
10 May for the Mother’s
Day Classic fun run and
walk.
More than 2500
people took part in the
Classic, which raises
money for the National
Breast Cancer Foundation.
Organiser Sarah
Casey thanked participants for their enthusiasm in the 10th annual
event held in Hobart.
“We are very pleased
with the turnout and
while we are still waiting
on a final fundraising
tally, we have big expectations that 2015 will be
our biggest year yet,” Ms
Casey said.
A minute of silence
was held before both
the eight-kilometre run
and four-kilometre walk
and run to pay tribute to
loved ones lost to cancer
and trophies were presented in a number of
categories, including fastest competitors, largest
teams and best dressed
participant.
In the eight-kilometre run, Mel Daniels
won the female category, while Grant Page
won the men’s race.
While survival rates
are improving, breast
cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related death for Australian females, with seven
women dying every day
around the nation.
Around 350
Tasmanian women are
diagnosed with breast
cancer every year.
