To mysurprise I also found theexisting carriageway,already narrow, is not onlynot going to be widened, itis to be fractionallynarrowed!This from a counciltouting their plan ascatering for the futureneeds of the town.My plea to the council isthis - confer with yourconsultants and seewhether they can come upwith a plan incorporatingwider footpaths and spacefor alfresco dining, abicycle track and angleparking.The last thing youwould want would surelybe a repeat of the WilliamStreet fiasco.Sheena Butler,Bridport.Liberals callfor Joint SelectCommittee onMedical ActTHE parliamentary LiberalParty has called for a JointSelect Committee into theMedical PractitionersRegistration Act in thewake of the treatment of DrPaul McGinity, and theState government’s failureto provide leadership onthe issue.The Liberals believethat the committee shouldinquire into the adequacyof the provisions of the Actwith particular reference to- reviewing existingstatutes, procedures andpractices for theconsideration andnotification of suspensionsfrom medical practice,including the essentialrequirements of naturaljustice and proceduralfairness; and the adequacyof arrangements currentlyin place when a medicalpractitioner is suspended,or reinstated underconditions, which affect theability to provide medicalcare to the localcommunity he or sheLIBERAL Senator GuyBarnett believes prospectsfor the Musselroe WindFarm development haveadvanced markedly as aresult of the passing of theRenewable Energy Targetlegislation by the House ofRepresentatives this week.CompleteCompleteservices.Liberal shadowtreasurer Peter Gutweinsaid the committee shouldreport by November 19."The Liberals and theNorth-East communityhave had real concerns atthe lack of leadership fromthe State LaborGovernment which hasseen a huge gap in thedelivery of health servicesas a result of Dr McGinity’ssudden suspension fourmonths ago, and thesubsequent restrictionsplaced on his ability tocontinue to deliverservices," Mr Gutwein said."If the Medical Councilare operating in accordancewith the Act, then what wemust do is look at the Actand make changes thatwould prevent a situationwhere people are leftwithout a doctor, ormedications, for lengthyperiods."The committee will onlybe formed if the Laborgovernment supports it.Musselroe windfarm a step closerThe $350 millioninvestment into NorthEast Tasmania will create150 jobs duringconstruction and meet theelectricity needs of up to55,000 homes.Senator Barnett saidthe Liberals stronglysupport a renewableenergy target of 20% by2020 and if this islegislated it will be a hugeboost for wind farmdevelopments generallyand Musselroe Bay inparticular.“I am glad that thegovernment has this weekbacked down and agreedto coalition requests to decouplethe renewableenergy legislation fromthe overall ETS package.,”Senator Barnett said.“It is however criticalthat the Governmentagrees to ouramendments to protectthe aluminium, cementand food processingindustries,” he added.For further information on any of these items, please contact theMayor, Cr Peter Partridge (03 63 522 776) or the General Manager,Mr John Martin (0363 526 500).Your Councillors are:Mayor Peter Partridge, Deputy Mayor Yvonne Thorne, Councillor SteveArnold, Councillor Roger McLennan, Councillor Heath Rattray, CouncillorThomas Ransom, Councillor Sheryl Martin, Councillor Barry Jarvis andCouncillor Max HallFor further information call 03 6352 6500 or log onto www.dorset.tas.gov.au

6 - THE NORTH EASTERN ADVERTISER WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 2009Making the mouth a healthier placeby John BellWE expect our teeth tolast a lifetime; however, itseems the standard of oralhealth care in Australia –especially in regionalareas of Australia – leavesquite a bit to be desired.Recent studies indicatethat Australians havelower standards of oralhealth than almost anyother developed country.In part, this problem isdue to a shortage ofskilled oral health carepractitioners, but thereare strategies that we canpersonally put intopractice that will helpprevent tooth decay andgum disease occurring –strategies that werehighlighted during therecent National DentalHealth Awareness Week.The most commoncause of oral healthproblems is plaque.Plaque is a thin, stickyfilm which builds up onthe teeth. It is producedby a combination ofsaliva, bacteria and food.The bacteria fermentsugars in the foodforming acids that erodethe tooth enamel. Plaquealso damages the gums aswell.The plaque can beremoved by brushing andflossing, but it quicklyreforms. When it stays onthe teeth for longer that afew days, it hardens intotartar (or calculus) thatacts a reservoir forbacteria. The tarter thenneeds to be removed by adentist.For some good tips on howto keep your teeth longterm, and how to keepthose tissues that supportthe teeth healthy as well,get hold of the Fact Cardtitled Oral Health. It’savailablefrompharmacies aroundAustralia that provide thePharmaceutical Society’sSelf Care healthinformation.For a start, brush yourteeth twice a day –morning and bedtime –with a soft toothbrushand a fluoride toothpaste.Take the time to brushcarefully and gently alongthe tongue, or use atongue cleaner, asbacteria can thrive on thetongue, too.A low fluoride toothpasteis recommended forchildren aged 18 monthsto 6 years, and forchildren under the age of18 months brushingwithout a paste is best.To completely removeplaque and food frombetween the teeth weshould also floss once aday (rinse thoroughlyafter flossing) or useinterdental brushes. Theappropriate flossingtechnique is detailed onthe Oral Health card.Healthy eating makeshealthy teeth and gums.Avoid sweet sugarydrinks and snacks; and ifyou do snack betweenmeals, rinse the mouthwith water afterwards.Smoking increases therisk of gum disease andoral cancer; so it’sanother good reason toquit smoking. Smokingalso contributes to drymouth, itself a factor incausing teeth and gumdisease.Saliva (we normallysecrete about 1.5 litres aday) assists speech, tasteand swallowing andprepares food fordigestion. A good flow ofsaliva also helps preventtooth decay and protectsagainst mouth and guminfections.Saliva productioncommonly decreases withage, but apart fromsmoking, there are otherfactors which reduce theflow of saliva such asalcohol and caffeinecontaining drinks (theyGALLOWAYSPHARMACYKING STREET SCOTTSDALEcan be dehydrating),snoring and breathingthrough the mouth, andalso certain medicines.In fact medicines arethe most common causeof dry mouth. If you’resuffering from chronic orcontinual dry mouth,check with yourpharmacist to see if oneor more medicines couldbe the cause. Of course,sometimes thesemedicines are essential,but there are ways tominimise the dryness.Special gels, sprays,toothpastes, gums andmouthwashes areavailable.For more informationon keeping your mouth,teeth and gums fresh andclean and disease free,check out the fact cardson Oral Health and DryMouth.Farmsafe and CGUInsurance launch 2009farm safety awardsFARM-RELATED injuries cause an horrific 100 deaths, 6500 hospitaladmissions and almost 6000 workers’ compensation claims in Australiaevery year, and represent an annual burden of $1.29 billion on the farmingcommunity.While there has been significant progress, farm safety remains a bigissue in regional and rural Australia. As Australia’s largest regional andrural insurer CGU Insurance has announced it will continue to supportFarmsafe Australia to work to improve safety on the farm.Farmsafe and CGU Insurance established the biannual awards in2007 to recognise people and groups that have contributed toimproved farm safety.The Farmsafe Farmer Awards are designed to reinforce the importanceof better farm health and safety practices by recognising thosethat are leading the way in this critical area for regional and rural communities.Farmsafe Australia Executive Officer John Temperley said that whilefarm safety had received increased attention over the last decade, injurystatistics showed that much more still needed to be done.“Every farm-related death and injury is avoidable and we must stopthis loss of life and reduced quality of life,” he said. “Farm-relateddeaths and injuries also create a significant economic burden for bothfarmers and the communities they live in.”According to Farmsafe, tractors, farm vehicles, quad bikes and farmmachinery are the biggest cause of death on farms, while dams, riversand creeks are also major problem areas for children on farms. Morethan 60% of farmers and farm workers have some level of hearing losswhich is largely attributable to long-term exposure to high noise levels.ENGINEERINGBRANCHFABRICATIONSPTY LTDSTATION ROAD, BRANXHOLM(Operating as Dorset Crane Hire)20 and 40 TONMOBILE CRANEFor Hireand General Engineering availablethroughout the North-East• BRUCE BRANCH 0419 583 019• WORKSHOP: 6354 6103ACCOUNTANTGREGORYREYNOLDSACCOUNTING“Offering a professional friendly service forclients at a price that represents value”• SMALL BUSINESS ACCOUNTING •TAX RETURNS • BUSINESS ACTIVI-TY STATEMENTSMONDAY TOFRIDAY 9AM -5PM21 KING ST.,SCOTTSDALEPHONE: 6352 3599FUNERAL SERVICESREX LETHBORGAND SONSIncorporatingTamar Valley FuneralsPROFESSIONAL & CARING SERVICESERVING ALL AREAS & DENOMINATIONSScottsdale 6352 2659Tamar Valley 6382 4124Mobile 0419 308 99024 Hour, Seven Day ServiceBusinessServicesGuideWOOD HEATERSShepherd’sMaintenance, Repairsand Spraying ServiceAre LICENSEDinstallers & RepairersFor all wood heaters &combustion stoves.

8 - THE NORTH EASTERN ADVERTISER WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 2009Celebrating our100 th yearPART 2 - The North-Eastern Advertiser 1909 - 2009SOME inaccurate information from afriend and a long and fruitless tripfrom the mainland to Queenstown wasthe cause of a Victorian newspaperman buying the North EasternAdvertiser in May, 1911, and his namebecame synonymous with thenewspaper.He was A.E. Osborne. He was oneof Scottsdale's most highly respectedcitizens, and for five decades he wasone of the most enthusiastic workersfor the growth of the district.At the age of 15, in 1893, A.E.Osborne - he has never been referred toby anything other than his first twoinitials - became apprenticed as aprinter at the Atlas Press, Castlemaine,Victoria. The firm published theCastlemaine Leader.Young Osborne studied Pitmansshorthand at night-school during hisfirst year of work and becameproficient. When he was twenty-one, hebecame foreman printer and reporteron the St. Kilda Mercury. Later he wasA NEW BUSINESS TO HELP PROTECT YOUR PROPERTYBe fire safe this summerWith the fire season approaching Peter and Maree Hartley of Bridport have expandedtheir excavation and earth moving business to include bush fire hazard reduction.PETER and Maree Hartley of Bridport have expandedtheir business to include fire break clearing, slashing,fence line clearing and tree removal.The tragic Victorian bushfires earlier this year are areminder of the devastating consequences of wild fire.The New South Wales fire service has provided the followingadvice for people wanting to protect their propertiesfrom fire risk.“Reduction of fuel does not have to be as drastic asremoving all vegetation. Environmentally this would bedisastrous and often trees and plants can provide youwith some bushfire protection from strong winds,intense heat and flying embers.In many circumstances, hand and mechanical clearingmethods should be considered the best way to protectassets. These methods can be safer than burning,and easier to organise and maintain.”Peter Hartley believes that risks can be significantlyreduced simply by clearing a fire brake around fencelines, slashing, and removing thick undergrowth anddead or dying trees.Peter and Maree Hartley’s machinery includes a 7.5tonne Hitachi excavator with blade and various buckets,a Massey Ferguson 135 Tractor with slasher and rotaryhoe and an International S-Line 10 yard Tipper.P.& M HARTLEY• Bush fire hazard reduction• Gravel and sand cartage•General excavation andearthmoving, roadpreparation, culverts and drainage.•Septics and french drainsContact us forestimation and adviceFULLY INSURED7 DAYS A WEEKPh: 0428 797 400Email: petemaree1@bigpond.comengaged in a similar capacity on theWarrugual Guardian where he gavevaluable service for six years.When his employer had to make ajourney to England, A.E. Osborne wasoffered a three year lease of thebusiness. He never hesitated inaccepting the heaven-sent opportunityalthough he had to borrow the princelysum of £100 on his insurance policy. Healso had to obtain guarantors for hisobligation to make a weeklyrepayment of £3 for the lease. In 1959 herecalled that he never did miss one ofthose repayments and the guarantorshad no worries.He was so successful that he wasthen able to transfer to Morwell wherehe purchased the Morwell Gazette. Inless than three years he had increasedthat paper's circulation and resold it - ata better price - to the former owner.It was at that time that acommercial traveller told him thatQueenstown in Tasmania had apopulation of 5,000, but did not have a• Peter Hartleynewspaper. The astute young Victorianwasted little time in crossing the BassStrait and visiting the thriving WestCoast town. But to his disappointmenthe found that the traveller had erredslightly. The town was well served bythe Zeehan and Dundas Herald.Osborne then travelled toScottsdale to see an old friend, RobertMcColl, owner of the North EasternAdvertiser. As a result of his visit hebought the business.And the reign of Osborne began. Inthe next 50 years almost every memberof the Osborne family was involved inthe production of the newspaper.A prolific contributor to the paperwas the Hon. A.W. Loone who wrotewidely widely about the first settlers inthe district. Later he gathered much ofthis matter together in his book,"Tasmania's North East," which hededicated to his four soldier sons.Mr Loone's interests were verywide and it would be difficult tomention any branch of local businessadvertisement• The 7.5 tonne Hitachi excavator in operation removing dead treesactivity into which at some time orother he did not enter. He is alsoremembered for his persistent effortsto persuade Parliament to pass an"Anti-Shout" Bill, which he maintainedwould reduce the sale of liquor.Another frequent correspondentwas Mr Robert Coplestone. His brotherAlex was also a leading public man atthe time and these two, sitting onopposites of the political fence,provided their full quota of copy.Mr J.B. Hayes, who bought hisproperty at Burnside, Scottsdale, wrotecommentaries on farming properties.He was elected to the TasmanianHouse of Assembly as a member forBass and later became Premier of theState. Later he was elected as a senatorin the Federal Parliament.In December 1959 A.E. Osbornedescribed his early years gatheringnews."The task of gathering news for theAdvertiser in the early days ofteninvolved considerable personalexertion. Very few people wereconnected by telephone and contactsoften had to be made on 'shanks' pony'or by push bike.Motor cars were exceptionally rare.Whenever one from Launcestonmanaged to negotiate the Sideling, itsarrival was invariably heralded by somuch noise and clatter thatshopkeepers hurried outside to viewthe novelty.The Advertiser used to make apoint of getting full reports of themeetings of Scottsdale, Ringarooma,Lilydale and Portland Councils.My first trip to Derby, where themeetings of the Ringarooma Councilare held, was made on push bike.This meant a solid day's workriding a total of 40 miles on hilly roadsnot then bitumenised, reporting thecouncil meeting, at the same timepicking up other news items as well asorders for job printing."(Next week - More from theOsborne years)• The Massey Ferguson 135 Tractor with slasher in operation

Unfortunately theUnder 12s match wasabandoned due toelectrical storms and hasbeen rescheduled to beplayed during the week.Hopefully the youngMagpies will win thismatch to earn themselvesa spot in the preliminaryfinal to be played atScottsdale this Sunday.Although the stormhad subsided by the timethe Under 16s took to theground, the wet andextremely muddyconditions made itdifficult for the players totell each other apart afterthe first quarter.The Magpies werefortunate to win the toss,and with the aid of a stiffbreeze favouring one end,the boys kicked four goalsin the first term which setthem up for their 12 pointwin over the Longfordby Kevin WagnerAFTER last week's lossWinnaleah playedGladstone at home.They made a greatstart to the nightwinning the first fivegames with good winsfrom Lyndon Smithand Iaasac Rattray.The only winner forGladstone in thesingles was JohnRobertson who alsowon his doubles game.Winnaleah won 6/3.After their first upwin last week theRebels travelled toBranxholm, and it was1-1 after two games.But Branxholm ranaway winning the nextfive games with PatOldham, Ian Edwardsand Dennis SteersTigers.Tough and tirelessefforts from themidfielders DomKillworth, Josh Whelanand Ethan Petterwoodgave the Magpies plenty ofmomentum.

Both teamswere missing key players.Tigers had regained fullback Kate Templeton butwere without Linda Clowwhile the Frogs weremissing Jen Barron who isa pivotal part of theirdefensive line up.Weather conditions werefavourable and the crowd infull voice.The game started at afrenetic pace with Frogsdominant early. ValerieSaville was calling the shotsfor Froggies and the youngteam was respondingpositively. Tigers seemed tobe taking a while to adjust tothe pace and while theywere getting the ballforward the opportunitieswere wasted and loose ballswere being picked off by fullback Kaila Poole who wasagain in fine form.Letitia Johnson wascombining well with sisterCelina but Tigers werelacking the strength ofLinda Clow in the midfieldand could not penetrate theFrogs defence. Frogforwards Mikalea Savilleand Nicole Munro werelooking dangerous andTiger defenders wereworking hard but it wasValerie Saville who struckfirst for Frogs midwaythrough the first half.The Tigers tried in vainto even the score with LetitiaJohnson throwing her bodyon the line but to no avail.Frog defenders SheridanKerr, Emily Cox and KailaPoole were merciless indefence. Frogs werepersistent in attack anddefenders Anita Williams,Rachel Summers and KateTempleton were inoverdrive trying to turnback the tide for Tigers butValerie Saville struck againfor Frogs and at the halftime break Frogs were up 2-0.After half time theTigers were desperate toscore and Anita Williamsand Kate Templeton hadseveral forays out of defencein an attempt to create someforward movement forTigers. Several times Tigersgot into the circle only to befoiled by Frogs' goalieLauren Richards. ValerieSaville was everywhere andbrought the ball out ofdefence for Frogs wheredaughter Mikaela took overon the inner and carried theball into attack.Tigers goalie FionaSalter made some greatsaves in the second half andJodi Hopkins and SamSalter were also workingwell and never gave up allgame. Frogs youngstersSheena Jarvis, Elora Birdand Emily Cox showed someskill and were usefulcontributors for their team.Frogs could sensevictory and pushed harderto score once again but onlya valiant effort by Tigersdefence kept the score fromblowing out. The Frogs ranout winners 2-0 in a veryentertaining game andearned the right to meetRovers in the grand finalnext Saturday at 12.30pm.This will be a veryentertaining game betweenthe two most consistentteams of 2009. Frogs have avery strong premiershiprecord but the Rovers areunpredictable and anythingcould happen.Cheer squads are urged tobe early for the best seat. Theassociation thanks Roger,Ronald and Rodney for theprovision of the tent for thefinals – the shelter is muchappreciated.SCORESFrogs 2 d Tigers 0Goals: Frogs - V Saville2Best: Frogs - V Saville,M Saville and K Poole.Tigers - A Williams, RSummers and KTempletonThane Bardenhagenwins NEFU awardSEVENTEEN year old Lilydale midfielder ThaneBardenhagen has become one of the youngestplayers to win the NEFU best and fairest award.Bardenhagen polled 23 votes to edge outBranxholm's Nick Sutton (21 votes) and Ringaroomacoach Heath Fox (20 votes).Other vote winners were: Isaac Peters(Winnaleah) 12, Jade Child (Bridport) 12, BenWheeler (Lilydale) 11, Zeik Johnstone (Winnaleah)11, Lee Nichols (Branxholm) 10, Gary Knight(Ringarooma) 10, Nick Denholm (St Helens) 10,Andrew Frame (Winnaleah) 10.

12 - THE NORTH EASTERN ADVERTISER WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 2009ADVERTISERSPORTCrushed Magpiesshamed at LongfordSCOTTSDALE'S nine game winningstreak came to an embarrassing end atLongford last week, and raisedreasonable questions about the club'scapacity to be a legitimate force in thisyear's NTFA finals.The Magpies could manage just 1.15after quarter time in a performancethat showed no respect for TroyMilne's feat of reaching 300 games.Coach Anthony Taylor was spot onwhen he said the team was beaten inall facets of the game."We didn't respond when they goton top. We had to shut the game downand tighten up, but we didn't," he said."We're lucky we have anotherroster match to get things right," headded.Saturday's home game againstBracknell looms as a big one. Thevisitors have to win to stay in the topfive, and they will throw everything atthe Magpies who crumbled undersimilar pressure last week.Last week the midfielders hadabsolutely no impact and were alwaysoutnumbered at the contests, and theforwards were equally disappointing.Mick Rainbow was the only playerwho could hold his head high. NigelThompson was okay early at fullbySarah ForsythTHE last round of theroster season proved thatall four teams are in greatform with finalsbeginning next week.Dorset defeatedMagpies in a tight,defensive game, andCrows fought off adetermined Swifts outfit.Dorset jumped to thelead in the first matchforward but lacked opportunities, andthe Magpies fell down badly acrosshalf-forward which is a concerncoming into the finals.Roozendaal came off in the thirdterm with an injured ankle, and maynot come up this week, while Taylorwill still be coaching from thesidelines. How the team will copewithout Roozendaal remains to beseen, but if he doesn't play it providesDamian Brown and Jake Gerke withchances to press their cause for afinals berth.Selectors will also be looking at themidfield division after last week, andJacob Hughes, Beau Tuthill and LiamBourke may be considered.All three teams will play in thequalifying finals, but any thoughts of asenior premiership are prematurebased on last week's feebleperformance.Taylor will be hoping that lastweek's loss will be a wake-up call forhis team. They have just one week toget back on track or face thepossibility of another disappointingfinals series.Netballers prepare for finals serieswith Katelyn Conistonstrong in attack. Magpieshad plenty of the ball butcouldn’t get past Dorset’sSandra Bales who wasphenomenal in defence allgame. In the second termDorset pushed further infront with DevenMountney playing well inattack and moving the ballquickly. Magpies PhillipaJensen used the wholecourt to her advantage totry and spark her team butthey couldn’t convert andDorset went into half time• A despondent Troy Milne leavesthe ground after his 300th gamenine up.Both teams madechanges but it was Dorsetwho continued to pullaway with their wholeteam working togetherwell.

Crows refocusedthemselves and came backon and played some greatnetball with Megan Butlerworking hard on the wingto get the ball into hergoalies.Swifts lost somemomentum and started tomiss some targets butwere still continuing toplay strong, physicalnetball with Rachelle Brillgiving her all in thecentre, but it was Crowswho went in two goals upat half time.Swifts made changesand it took them a while toreadjust and Crowscontinued to pull away, butSwifts clawed back withKresta Davis and FelicityKettle again working welltogether in defence andthe margin was just two atthe last break.

Branxholm's form fell away before winsagainst the two bottom teams restored somemomentum.The Robins had a big win last week againstWinnaleah, and maybe they are approachingthe form that saw them snatch a surprising andmemorable victory in last year's grand final.But they will need to shut down Lee Nicholsand Nick Sutton, the Wanderers' two keyplayers. Nichols booted 14 goals last week toreach 100 for the season, while Sutton has beena very damaging on-baller.Chris Carins may get the job on Sutton, andthe outcome of this duel could decide thematch. The Wanderers will have an edge in pacethrough Jarrah Burns, Matthew Beven andJimmy Kelleher, but Ringarooma coach HeathFox, Gary Knight and Daniel Kernan haveplenty of finals experience which is always avaluable quality in cut-throat finals.While Branxholm can boast centurygoalkicker Nichols, Ringarooma's MatthewWells and Shaun Collis have booted almost 100goals between them, and those forward optionsmay be enough to take the Robins one stepcloser to defending their 2008 premiership.In the Reserves, Branxholm will play StHelens, while Branxholm and Bridport clash inthe Under 16s.SPECIALS TO AUGUST 23BEERTOOHEYS GOLD BITTER BLOCK $26.98VIC BITTER $37.98TOOHEYS EXTRA DRY $39.98BOAGS ST GEORGE $42.98VODKA CRUISERS 4 PK $11.98BACARDI & COLA 6 PK $19.98JACK DANIELS 10 PK $36.98SOUTHERN COMFORT $31.98JIM BEAM BLACK LABEL $36.98DEWARS SCOTCH $30.98COUGAR BOURBON $28.98YELLOW SPARKLING $9.98HALF MILE CREEK VARIETALS $6.98WOLF BLASS RED LABEL VARIETALS $9.98BOTTLESHOPBoags Draught$38.99Red Blocks$33.99Jamesons IrishWhiskey 700 ml$37.99Captain MorganRum 700 ml$28.99Brown BrosDolcetto, Moscato,Rosa & Flora 2 for$25.00Berri Casks5 litre 2 for$28.00ScottsdaleLiquor Market37 King St ScottsdalePhone: 6352 2411BRIDPORT•HOTEL•Main Street BridportMainPhone:Street6356Bridport1114Phone: 6356 1114
