I am sure that only a small proportion of these achievements come across my desk. When they do, I am privileged to bring them to the attention of our readers so they can share the recognition of your efforts. In this edition read about the high achievement of two of our junior cattle handlers. We would also take our hat off to one of our local identities who tackled a challenge that many of us would never dream of attempting, let alone successfully! Well done Geneen Duff for a marvellous effort in the City to Surf, conquering heartbreak hill in eleven minutes! With the ever increasing support of our local advertisers I hope to be able to include more and more news and accolades for our many talented local residents who quietly achieve great heights in many fields of endeavour. I especially thank the advertisers, and our readers who are supporting our advertisers by buying their goods and services. It all keeps our local communities prosperous, happy and healthy! Enjoy the annual “Oktoberfest” event at Seven Sheds Page 2 Brewery and Meadery at Railton. There is free entry to a falily-friendly event provided by one of our excellent local businesses. During October we ask that you assist both the Sheffield/ Railton Community Bank® Project by completing the Community Survey for Bendigo Bank (see page 4 and 5); and by responding to the request for recommendations from residents regarding additional health services that would be beneficial to the Kentish Region from the University of Tasmania in collaboration with our Council (see page 3). The Community Bank® Survey will be in your mailboxes in from 6th October. Please fill them out as it is the next vital step in the establishment of our new community-owned Bank which will help support community organisations and projects over the years to come. The University of Tasmania survey will provide vital information that will facilitate funding for additional health services and/or facilities within our region. Your input is vital for this project also. This is also the month that we, as residents, have the opportunity to vote for our Mayor, Deputy Mayor and all The Kentish Voice - October 2014 Kentish Councillors. This is the first time that all positions on Council have been declared vacant at the same time. Elected members will be your representatives for the next four years. At the time of printing the candidates have not been declared by the Electoral Commission but several candidates have provided advertisements for their candidacy and some information that may be helpful for you in deciding who to vote for when the ballot papers are delivered to your mailbox in the second half of the month. Our Council is responsible for so many aspects that affect our daily life in Kentish – but you are responsible for putting the right people in those positions! Oktoberfest Sunday 5 October 12 noon-4pm • Free Entry • Live music with You3 • Seven Sheds ales on tap • Family-friendly day • Wood-fired pizzas, gourmet sausages There will be a “Meet the Candidates” Evening on 9th October at Sheffield Senior Citizens Club at 7.00pm Come along and be informed in your decision-making, then be proactive and VOTE!

This development presents an ideal opportunity for Council to engage the residents of the municipality about the broader health needs of our community. In order to better understand community needs Council has engaged the services of the University of Tasmania’s Centre for Rural Health (CRH) to undertake a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) of the Kentish Municipality. The CHNA is jointly funded by Council and Tasmania Medicare Local (TML). A Project Advisory Committee has been convened comprising representatives from Council, Tandara Lodge Community Care Inc, the Sheffield School, Glenhaven Family Care and the CRH Research Team to support project activities. The project seeks to engage residents of the whole Kentish Municipality. In order to capture the voice of the community, residents will be invited to complete a survey and/or participate in a focus group where they will be provided with an opportunity to present their views and ideas on a range of social, economic and environmental factors that impact on the their health and that of their community. All information received from the community will be treated anonymously and in accordance with strict UTAS ethical guidelines. The information in the CHNA will enable needs to be highlighted and gaps to be identified. Without a professional needs assessment like this, government organizations will not make funding available for new services. Therefore to enable the greatest chance to attract more health related services to Kentish the Project Advisory Committee encourage as many people as possible to become involved. Residents of Kentish will be kept updated on the progress of the study through regular briefings. The study will be undertaken between August 2014 and March 2015 and will conclude with a presentation of a report to council. If residents have any questions about the study they are welcome to contact Darrin Cunningham, Economic and Community Development Manager at the Kentish Council via email [email protected] or phone 6491 0200 or they may contact the CHNA Project officer, Alison Wild via email [email protected] The Kentish Voice - October 2014 Page 3 Sheffield/Railton Community Bank® At present Bendigo Bank provides us with the staff to assist you with your banking decisions and once our Branch is open it will our local staff, trained by Bendigo, who will assist you with your banking questions.

Our opening hours will be: 9am until 5pm, 7 days a week See you soon!! WWW.FUDGENGOODCOFFEE.COM JULIE HARGREAVES CANDIDATE FOR COUNCILLOR I want Kentish to be a great place to work as much as it is to live or to visit – that means growing the opportunities for local businesses to grow local jobs. I want a solid economy in Kentish based on what we grow and make as much as from the views we sell to visitors – that means growing opportunities for agriculture and primary production as well as for tourism. I want Kentish to continue to be a focal point for arts in all its forms – artists inspire us, challenge us and connect us culturally. I want Kentish to be powered from abundant renewable sources and for the natural assets of Kentish to be enduring climate change and how we adapt to it will shape what we pass on to the next generation. I want Kentish to continue to be a community that cares and shares, whether a pot luck dinner or to lend a hand when it’s needed - that means facilitating the volunteers and voluntary organisations to do what they do best. While I will be only one voice out of 9, if elected as Councillor I will do my best for Kentish and the Kentish community and these are the values that guide me.

There is a new iPhone announced. The iPhone 6 is coming. There is a second iPhone 6 model labelled the “Plus”. The Plus is a larger phone and more expensive. Both phones have an improved camera and (apparently) better battery life. Now the price…….$869 for the 4.7 inch screen version and $999 for the 5.5 inch screen version. Hmm not cheap. Apple Watch - Another first for Apple is the announcement of their first watch. It’s pretty different to a normal watch. It’s a computer on your wrist. You can use it to send email, texts, look at photos, monitor your health, cook your toast. I made up the toast bit. You are best to have a look your self. http://www. apple.com/au/watch/ The price? Unknown as yet. A Casio from the chemist will no doubt be cheaper. Todoist - Are you looking for an online todo list? One that you can access from different locations and different devices? I recommend todoist.com After some rigorous testing I have found this todo list impressive. There is a free and paid service. The premium service is around $30 per year (but is not compulsory). So put it on your todo list to have a look at www. todoist.com It works well. Feedly - Have a stack of websites you visit regularly? Why not TIM WILSON CANDIDATE FOR COUNCILLOR & DEPUTY MAYOR Kentish Council has worked well together over the recent term. The council has listened to the community and generally made decisions it deemed best for the community as a whole. I have enjoyed being part of it. I have been fortunate to have worked closely with the Mayor during the recent term. Kentish has had a strong and unified leadership team, working together respectfully. This has helped form a solid and stable council. What are some things I achieved? Following a ratepayer suggestion I have put Gowrie Park on Council's agenda to investigate its potential for re-establishment as a living village. I pushed council not to pay the asking price for the Sheffield infant’s school, we were fortunate to attain it for one dollar. I pushed the implementation of a discount on rates when paid in full. I have successfully helped some (not all) frustrated residents who have sought assistance in dealing with the Council. Where to now? I will get behind the establishment of a skate park in Railton if the township does. I will do what I can to support the Sheffield/Railton community bank establishing an ATM in Railton. Council should continue to do what it can to help see the re-establishment of a shop in the township of Wilmot. Kentish Council needs to make the way smoother for those who want to settle and develop employment opportunities in our municipality. I need your support to continue in the role as Deputy Mayor on Kentish Council.

Why hop from website to website when you can view them all at one place? It does the job of updating the information for you. Head over and have a look at www.feedly.com Well my Optus trial is over. We have parted company. Why? Reception was the key problem. Great reception around Sheffield, poor in Railton and really poor in parts of Devonport. If the wind was blowing the right way, reception was ok! Anyway, until Optus improves its reception, I won’t be trying them again. Sometimes you just have to try things. Farewell Optus (for now).

This month of the year is one of the most satisfying for gardeners. In the Vegetable garden, you are watching all the seeds you planted last month and have been carefully nurturing, sprout and take off. Your beetroot, sweet corn and silver beet seedlings are almost ready to plant out. The tomato seedlings you saved from last year are just about ready to pot on so that by the end of October they will be ready to plant out. Watch the weather warnings for potential frosts though and be ready to protect them. We can get good frosts as late as November in Sheffield. Remember also to handle these seedlings carefully, their stems are very fragile, and plant them deeply, bringing the soil up to cover part of the lower stem. Once they start to flower is the time to make sure the have plenty of water and food, and don’t forget to give them a little potash every few weeks once they are established. In the bed you have set aside for growing French Beans and climbing beans, now is the time to work in some well rotted manure. You would have remembered during the winter that beans don’t like acid soil, and dug some lime into the bed. By the middle of November, when you plant out your bean seeds, the bed will be just right and you should produce a wonderful crop of beans. While you have been working in your vegetable garden you have been admiring the blossom on your plum, nectarine and almond trees. You will have checked that the tape you wound around their trunks about a half a metre from the ground is still in place to deter those nasty coddling moths. A few handfuls of sheep manure around the base of them at this time will encourage them to work hard to produce a bountiful crop of fruit. In the Ornamental Garden, as you admire your roses starting to produce all that shiny new growth, give them a feed and examine them closely for any sign of the dreaded aphids. I have noticed a few around already this year and a spray of detergent YIPPI! Spring Is Here! * Open 7 Days Until Christmas * Pea Straw * Seed Potatoes * Mulch * Seedings * Compost/Soil Mix to top up vegie gardens Plus Heaps of Spring Colour The Kentish Voice - October 2014 mixed with oil was enough to get rid of them. At the end of the month it is a good time to prune back those trees and shrubs that have finished flowering, particularly the natives, e.g. acacias, banksias, eriostemons and callistemon. If you prune back the flower bearing stems now it helps them get through the summer and encourages new growth ready for next year’s spring flowering. Now is the time to visit your nursery if you want to choose a new camellia, azalea or rhododendron, banksia, leptospermum or grevillea because they are out in flower. If you forgot to preorder your roses, and have found a place in the garden that is crying out for a spectacular, long flowering rose bush that never seems to get black spot or any other nasties, try a Rugosa Rose, I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed. KENTISH GARDEN CLUB NEWS What a busy start to Spring the Garden Club has had. We held our annual Daffodil & Spring Flower Show over the weekend of 20 & 21 September, which was a huge success. The weather was beautiful, and in all we had over 450 people visit the show. The standard of entries in both the Daffodil & Cut Flower sections was extremely high, whilst entries in the Floral Art section clearly demonstrated hidden talent within the local community. We would like to thank everyone for making this show so successful and for the support we received, particularly from the Kentish Council and The Hub. A large number of local businesses also supported the event through the donation of vouchers and products to be used as prizes, and we would also like to thank them for their wonderful and generous assistance. Of course we must also mention our guest exhibitors at the show – Rhyllis Chambers who spent the weekend delighting visitors with demonstrations of her artwork, and Matt from Flame ‘n’ Plasma for his display of metal artwork. For a full list of winners at the show as well as sponsors, please visit our website. With the warmer weather and longer days ahead, we will be organising a number of outings to take place over the coming months. Our first day trip has been organised to Wynyard on Saturday 18 October. There are a number of gardens that we will be visiting in the Wynyard area so it promises to be a great day out. For further details on the day trip please visit our calendar of events on our website or come to the next meeting. Time to get back into the garden as this is one of the busiest seasons with weeding, feeding, planting and mulching just some of the things on the “to do” list. Come along to our monthly meetings for gardening tips, hints and great ideas. And, if you have a particular problem in your garden, you might just find the answer you need! Our next garden meeting will be on Thursday 9 October, 7.30pm at the Sheffield Town Hall. Prior to the meeting garden club members are invited to visit Brett & Susie Coombs’ garden from 6.30pm. If you would like further information about anything please visit our website or contact myself on 0407 112 090. Happy gardening Cate Rejman Secretary, Page 9 MRRCI Celebrates 15 Years of Rivercare Local rivercare group, Mt Roland Rivercare Catchment Inc. celebrated their 15th year of river conservation and environmental work at their AGM in September. Word has got around about the quality of their annual BBQ and with the addition of lots of cake for the 15th anniversary celebration, the event was well attended. Representatives from Kentish Council (including the General Manager, Mayor and two councillors), as well as from Cradle Coast NRM had the opportunity to discuss natural resource management issues with members of Mt Roland Rivercare. Elected unopposed to the President’s role for yet another term was George Kelly who has served in that capacity for 13 of Rivercare’s 15 year history. During that time the organisation has won several awards, including: 2003 – Tasmanian Award For Environmental Excellence 2007 – Tasmanian Landcare Award 2008 – National Landcare Award 2008 – Tasmanian Tidy Towns – Certificate of Excellence 2013 – Tasmanian Sustainable Communities – Certificate of Excellence for Natural Environment Conservation 2014 – National Tidy Towns – Highly Commended for Environmental Innovation and Protection Get Involved with DSTA All Kentish tourism operators are invited to the next meeting of the Devonport & Surrounds Tourism Association Inc.

WILMOT MUSEUM EXPANDED TRY YOUR LOCAL CIDER TODAY Good Cider starts with good juice and good juice starts with great apples and that’s what we’ve been growing for over 100 years. Cider Tastings available for $10 includes a free glass of cider Happy Hour every Friday Afternoon from 4 – 6pm – all Ciders, wines and beers $5.00 Award Winning Apple Juice, Apple & Raspberry Juice and Orange Juice Apple Cider Vinegar for both human and animal health also available www.spreytonciderco.com.au cnr Sheffield Rd & Melrose Road, Spreyton, Tas 7310 Ph: 03 6427 2125 The volunteers at the Wilmot Museum are delighted with the much enlarged display space completed at the end of August by local building contractor Shane Steers. Funding for the extension was provided by The Tasmanian Community Fund which allocated 77% of the cost in the recent grant round. The remaining 23% of the cost came from the generosity of the local community members and fund raising activities. The Kentish Council has assisted the museum with funds to provide for re-furbishing the original sawn timber floor that was laid down in 1898 by Henry Buxton. The contrast between the original sawn timber floor, that has an ancient repair job of the bottom of a kerosene tin hammered over a hole in the floor, and the modern hardwood floor in the new extension illustrates the advances in timber treatments during the last hundred and fifteen years. The volunteers are engaged in completing a “Significance Assessment” of a number of unique items in the collection. The Roving Curator from Arts Tasmania is helping the volunteers in the research and documentation of the significant items. The volunteers are very busy preparing the displays according to the themes identified in 2013 when the Roving Curator helped them to develop the Collection Policy and Interpretation Plan. The Wilmot Museum will be re-organized and open to the public by mid-November. The official opening will be held in late November. Community groups and bus tours will be welcome to enjoy a guided tour of the Museum and refreshments or lunch in Wilmot. Page 10 The Kentish Voice - October 2014 Kentish – A First for Eco-Driving Training Kentish was the first municipality to take part in a new eco-driving training course which is expected to be rolled out to other communities soon. The course was developed by Sustainable Living Tasmania as part of a Tasmanian “Earn Your Stars” funded project to help people reduce their transport fuel use – something that benefits the pocket as well as the environment. Kentish Council employees were the first trainees to undertake this new eco-driving training, which if the techniques are fully adopted has the potential to save $4000 to $5000 per year on Council transport fuel costs. Eco-driving involves a few simple driving strategies along with vehicle maintenance checks, which can make a big difference on fuel use. These include reducing the amount of braking by looking ahead and backing off the accelerator to slow down, as well as checking tyre pressures regularly. Driving at 90kph rather than 100kph can save 10% on your fuel use, but savings go up to 23% if you are dropping your speed from 110kph to 90kph. accurately calculate the fuel consumption of their vehicle as well as finding the rpm on their tachometer that told them when the engine was running at its optimal efficiency. If you’re in the market for a new car, check out www. greenvehicleguide.gov.au to check the fuel efficiency of different models before you buy. AND, watch out for the return of Fuel Freddy in coming months, as he’ll be sharing a few eco-driving tips with readers of The Kentish Voice. K.E.E.N.E.R was the instigator for the eco-driving project and is keen to run further eco-driving training courses in Kentish in the future – contact Shayn 0419 905482 to register your interest or email [email protected] The K.E.E.N.E.R team (Kentish Energy Efficiency Network Embracing Renewables Inc.)

As road users we need to be switched on round the schools and buses at pick-up and drop-off points. Parents should be educating their children too around the dangers in and around buses. We are all shared road users in a one way or another and we all have responsibilities. Why not give your child all the information you can to increase their knowledge and hence increase their road safety awareness. You are never too young to start learning. The Kentish crime rate has returned to normal levels after a recent spike. Hopefully August was a one off and we will see these normal rates continue for the rest of the year.

The Scorecard is not a report to anyone outside our community, nor will we be compared to other communities: it is a tool for our use as we work together towards resilience. Expressions of interest are invited from a broad range of community members to join the Kentish Council Disaster Resilience Scorecard Working Group. Your commitment would be participation in an orientation meeting, plus two additional meetings over the next 6 -9 weeks.

This exhibition tells the story of their achievements.” The exhibition covers the entire Hydro story from construction of the first power station, Waddamana, to the novel technologies being used today. It has been designed to incorporate indoor and outdoor interpretive elements, housed largely within a 40ft custom-designed container but also making use of external industrial frames. “The story of the Hydro is the story of social change in Tasmania,” Ms van den Berg said. “Through the electricity generated by hydropower, the State’s manufacturing and agriculture industries have flourished; Hydro people built roads and created villages where none previously Page 24 schemes shaped Tasmania’s culture; and our engineering and technological breakthroughs have changed the way the world approaches the challenge of generating energy.” The free exhibition is part of the Hydro’s centenary program of events and initiatives. It opened at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Launceston where it is located near the main entrance, and will run through to early October. It is the first time The Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery has featured a ‘pop-up’ exhibition at the Museum and are delighted to be the first of four venues to host this bespoke exhibition. The exhibition will then travel to the West Coast for the Queenstown Heritage and Arts festival from October 10-12. The festival’s theme this year is the Power of Water. Next stop will be Hobart from October 18 – 4 November, with the exhibition to be located at Mawson Place next to the old Marine Board building. The exhibition will then travel to the Tarraleah village. The site of the old Hydro village built for the construction of the Tarraleah power station in the 1930 will be the exhibition’s home for the foreseeable future. Development of the exhibition has drawn on historical records, personal memoirs, and Hydro Tasmania publications. The Kentish Voice - October 2014 Staying Safe With Dogs In Our Community Dog in the back of a ute, in a car or truck. When a dog is on the back of a ute or in a truck/car we should not pay any attention to it. No looking and no talking. The dog is looking after the truck/car and once again may bark or growl saying “stay away”. Last month we talked about personal space and the hazards of walking up to any dog – one you know or one you do not know. This month we are going to expand by looking at dogs in our community and how we can be stay safe around them. Dog behind a gate or fence. Never open a gate or climb over a fence, even to get a ball that you may have kicked over the fence. If there is a dog there, it is the dog’s job to look after his yard and protect it. The dog will bark, it might get angry and may try to bite. Never walk into a yard or even put our fingers through the fence if there is a dog there. Sometimes dogs will bite us if we don’t listen to what they are trying to tell us. Even though we might want to say hello to dogs (even our own dog) there are times when it is not safe to go up and try to pat them. Avoid touching, patting or showing any attention to a dog in the situations below: Mum with her pups. A mother with puppies will do anything to make sure her babies are safe and no harm comes to them. She won’t like people or children coming up to her and her pups. Stay away from a mother and her babies. When the puppies are older ask the owner if you can pat them. Dog that is sleeping. Never walk up to a sleeping dog because it will get a fright. It may bark, growl or even bite. Wait until the dog is up and fully awake. Call its name first to get its attention and then call the dog to you for a pat. Hence the saying “let sleeping dogs lie”. Dogs at parties. When we have parties at home it is best your dog/s are put in a safe and quiet place because dogs get anxious around loud noises, loud music and lots of strange people. If you are at a party and there is a dog there, best to pretend it is not there and ignore it. Dog that is working eg: Guide Dog, Customs Dog, etc. Avoid dogs working because we don’t want to distract them from the important job they are doing. Most dog bites requiring hospitalisation are to the face and neck of young children. Young children are not good at reading the signs of when a dog may bite. Most adults and children are bitten by their own dog or a dog that they know. To avoid being bitten we need to be aware of what dogs are trying to tell us. Dog that is tied up outside a shop or anywhere and is on its own. Remember the rule from last week “no owner, no pat”. Dog that is sick or injured. When you are feeling unwell or hurt you don’t really like people annoying you. Dogs are the same. Leave them in a quiet and safe place to get over their illness. Dog that is eating. Dogs love their food and if it thinks you are going to take its food away it will get angry. Wait until the dog has finished eating and has walked away from its bowl. Then call it to you and give it a pat.

My name is Aaron Dyne, I am the new Pharmacist at Turnbull's pharmacy, and I look forward to meeting and getting to know everyone in this charming town. I grew up in Queensland on the Sunshine Coast. After graduating from university I worked in the beautiful Whitsundays in far north Queensland at Airlie Beach for six months. I then travelled south to Albury Wodonga where I completed my pharmacist training. I then decided I wanted a change and I heard through the grapevine of a pharmacy in beautiful Tasmania that was looking for a bright and eager young pharmacist and I jumped at the chance for a fresh exciting new start. I am 24 years old, and when I am not working I enjoy hanging out with friends, reading crime and mystery novels and writing my own music. Page 28 TURNBULLS PHARMACY ………………………………………………………....

On the 9th November the Lions Club of Kentish assisted by the local SES will conduct the 23rd Triple Top Mountain Run. The event is nationally recognized and has grown in stature over the years. Competitors of all levels and ages participate. There are two sections; one is for the more serious competitors. It is a race where the runners and joggers challenge themselves and each other. The time taken by the competitors to cover the 19.7 km varies from two to five and a half hours. The second section is for walkers, it is non competitive and the walkers spend anything from three and a half to eight hours out on the course. This walking section is ideal for anybody who is fit enough to spend the best part of a day traversing Mt. Claude, Van Dyke and Roland. Locals are encouraged to tackle which ever section they feel comfortable with. Last year David Carter of West Kentish finished a very creditable fifth place in the running section. It is a tough day and good solid footwear and carrying sufficient food are two of the essentials. Local businesses have been very generous with their support and this is appreciated. The money raised is basically used to provide every finisher jogger or walker with a T shirt, Certificate and a barbeque lunch. Entry forms available on Kentish Lions Club web site. Lion Frank Atkins If you have an activity or function to be included in the “What’s On in November” Column please send to [email protected] or deliver or post to 12 Victoria Street, Sheffield, 7306.

APPLE ISLE CARRIAGE DRIVING The great Australian carriage driver Boyd Exell is again World Equestrian Games Gold medallist after defending his title for the third time. The only Australian World champion of all the equestrian disciplines contested. I often wonder what makes men like Boyd Exell tick, what makes great champions almost freakish compared to good sports men. Is it fear,no that would set up barriers. Perhaps a burning desire from within to be the best. All the training in the world won't bring it to the majority. Is there a recipe, a formula for these elite athletes? No one has found it yet, not even science. However here in Sheffield, our carriage club is keen to introduce newcomers to the sport. Is it easy? No! Just like anything done well, there is a process and method to follow. How about giving it a try, and contact one of our club members.

The Kentish Voice - October 2014 HELPING HANDS Last month volunteers from the Bible Chapel continued to help meet some needs in the community. The requests continue to be quite varied; the following are just two examples of several that were carried out. Chris from Railton (pictured on his motorised scooter) rang later that same night to say how much he appreciated the work completed by the people who had helped him with various jobs earlier that day. This meant so much to him as he is unable to do these jobs for himself. Another elderly lady asked two more volunteers if they could drill a few holes and hang some items for her as well as to fit a toilet seat. This request was completed in a few minutes and she was left feeling grateful that even simple jobs can be asked for and attended to by willing workers. If you haven’t asked for help to get those tasks that you are either unable or cannot afford to have done, feel free to phone either Ken 6491 1512 or Andrew on 6491 1610. Residents are reminded that the next Helping Hands day is planned for Saturday 18th October so even if you think your request is too small to ask help for, just phone in and leave it to the volunteers to help you. WORKING ART SPACE The “Out Of The Ashes” exhibition will run until October 10th and will be followed by “A Homage to Trees” by local artist Nita Pountney until the end of November.

Mind you, I think maybe in latter years Spring is working to a different calendar from the rest of us. My own daffies have been showing off for at least an extra month. Yours? In any case it is now official. We gathered for our September meeting to find we were missing a whole bunch of our usual participants. Some on the mainland, some not well and some hiding from the rain. We were only 11 present. This was a very short meeting as follow up to winter when things go a wee bit quiet, but as we progressed through the official agenda and started on the October events we realised it will soon be time to put on the catering hats. There are a few very busy weeks coming up. For those not present these are the dates for your hosting diaries. 15th Oct - Merle's Soup & Sandwich Fundraiser, 27th Oct - Day Care at Tandara, 31st Oct - Soup/Sandwich at RSL, 8th Nov - Afternoon Tea at RSL for the Mural Opening, 24th Nov - Tasbash Fundraiser. First cab off the rank is Merle's Fundraising Day so a reminder….please don't forget some contributions for a special cause.... be it goodies for the Trade Table or some form of baby clothes or even bedding as the recipients this year are to be the new babies leaving hospital whose parent/s are doing it tough. At this point in the meeting Merle asked that the input from 'a certain Scotsman' be recognised. He came up to her in the Club, out of the blue, with a contribution for this day. She was really touched by his unexpected gesture. Thanks Merle.......message received! We discussed the Anzac Afternoon tea and it was clarified that the food is not to be wartime as some thought. Just our regular type afternoon teas. Always go down well. “ and That ”, said Jack, “ Was That ! ” Everyone “happy”, the Meeting Over bell rang and we tucked in to a generous afternoon tea provided by Barb W. and Margaret, a pre-taster for the Anzac one Ladies?

The decision has now been taken to have a Kentish Shed Happens, the first Shed Night will be held in November. More details in the next Kentish Voice. The concept is to bring men together that they might discuss the issues they are encountering in everyday life, “as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” Our next pizza night will be held on Friday 10 October at 6.30 pm in the Sheffield Town Hall. Our speaker will be Matt Boulton who is the men’s pastor at Hope Centre International Church in Brisbane where he also hosts the “Bowen Hills Shed Night”. For 7 years Matt was the Director of Counselling for CityCARE in Brisbane’s infamous Fortitude Valley and for the past 12 years, has been counselling domestic violence perpetrators and couples in conflict, he is now an ambassador for White Ribbon Australia. Matt’s recent book, “Changing Tools”, shares of his own early battle with anger and domestic violence, together with other stories of men and women escaping their own life controlling behaviors through changing the tools they are using in their lives and relationships. On Saturday morning, starting at 9am, Matt will conduct a workshop for those wanting to know more about bringing an end to domestic violence in our community. The venue is not yet decided, TBA. A local young man will speak of his addiction to alcohol and drugs at the pizza night and tell how he found the path to freedom from them, - darkness to light – an amazing story.
