More than 100 people who turned up to Margate’s Dru Point Centennial Park on Sunday 2nd
November to raise funds for brain cancer research
were undeterred by the heavy rain and even hail.
Event organiser Senator Catryna Bilyk said she
was very pleased with the success of Tasmania’s
first Walk4BrainCancer which has now raised over
$11,000 for the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation.
“This money will provide valuable funding for
medical research to better understand, prevent
and treat a disease which kills more Australian children than any other disease,” Senator Bilyk said.
Senator Bilyk recognised that many of the people
who turned up to walk on Sunday had friends and
relatives who had been diagnosed with, or who
had, tragically, died from brain cancer.
“The fact they continued with the walk in such
inclement weather just shows how committed the
community is to ending this insidious disease.
I am impressed but not surprised by the determination shown by the event’s supporters,” Senator
Bilyk said.
Walk4BrainCancer Tasmania was also attended
by Kingborough mayor elect Steve Wass, and
state Labor member for Franklin, Lara Giddings.
Senator Bilyk thanked the supporters of the event,
including the Rotary Club of D’Entrecasteaux
Channel, Kingborough Council, Louise Patterson
and Julie Hendy-Cartwright, whose husband died
of brain cancer.
“With the support of the community, I will work
hard to ensure Walk4BrainCancer Tasmania
is repeated for many years to come,” Senator
Bilyk said.
Speaking at the event, Cure Brain Cancer Foundation’s head of engagement, Barrie Littlefield, said
that Walk4BrainCancer was over halfway towards
its $700,000 fundraising goal for 2014.
“The $11,000 raised by the Tasmanian walk has
made a significant contribution to our total, and is
a fantastic result for Tasmania’s inaugural event,”
Mr Littlefield said.
“While this fundraising effort is important, through
representatives like Senator Bilyk we need to send
a message to Canberra about the importance of
prioritising brain cancer research.”
Senator Bilyk, who survived two brain tumours in
2008, is the co-convenor of the Australian Parliament’s Brain Tumour Awareness Group.

Voters choose new mayors
Mayors and councillors for Huon Valley and
Kingborough Councils were elected last week.
Peter Coad was elected from the three candidates
for Huon Valley mayor, and Ian Paul was elected
from the five candidates for deputy mayor.
Steve Wass was elected from the four candidates
for Kingborough mayor and Paula Wriedt was
elected from the six candidates for deputy mayor.
Elections were held for all positions for four-year
terms. Of 11,799 enrolled voters in the Huon Valley, 7661 ballot papers were returned, or 64.9%
compared with 54.3% returned state-wide.
Of 25,940 enrolled Kingborough voters 13,954
ballot papers were returned, or 53.8% of Kingborough electors. Voting was not compulsory.
Elections for councillor positions were conducted
using a system modelled on the Hare-Clark
method of proportional representation used in
the Tasmanian House of Assembly elections.
Of 16 candidates for councillor positions in
Bushfire expo
In the lead-up to summer, Kingborough
Council is hosting the region’s first Bushfire
Awareness Expo on Sunday 9th November,
at the Kettering Hall and Oval from 10am
to 3pm. There will be a range of stalls and
presentations, including expert advice on
issues like insurance, landscaping, protecting pets, and updating your bushfire plan.
Almost 90% of Kingborough properties are
potentially exposed to bushfire, which amounts
to about 10,000 buildings.
Kingborough Council
the Huon, nine were elected after preferences
were distributed. In Kingborough, ten candidates
were elected from 23.
Mayoral and deputy mayoral elections used
a preferential system similar to that used for Tasmanian Legislative Council and Federal House
of Representatives elections.
The figures shown in the following results denote
first-preference votes and the final result after
preference distribution respectively.

Strange but true
A Picasso for a song?
Fancy a Picasso for just $153? It is the
genuine article, but, inevitably, there is a
catch for those who wish to own L’Homme
au Gibus, which roughly translates as
The Man in the Opera Hat. The $153 is
the price of entering an unprecedented
tombola at Sotheby’s Paris in aid of the
International Association to Save Tyre, the
Lebanese city whose ancient heritage is
under threat. Fifty thousand tickets will be
sold, for a chance to win the 1914 Cubist
gouache, bought from a New York gallery
by an anonymous donor and valued at
$1.1 million. Olivier Picasso, the artist’s
grandson, fully supports the venture. “Buy
a ticket and enjoy a double pleasure,”
he said. “The first will be to help a really
interesting project and the second one
is maybe to get a Picasso on your wall.”
Chimps’ legal battle
An animal rights group has launched
a landmark legal action to have the
legal personhood of four chimpanzees
recognised by law. In a habeus corpus
writ drawn up on their behalf, and filed
at the New York Supreme Court, the
chimps demand their right to bodily liberty
and to live out their days in sanctuaries.
Two of the chimps are owned by private
individuals. The other two are owned by
a research centre and used in experiments. The case will pivot on the Nonhuman Rights Projects’ view that the chimps
are cognitively advanced animals, selfaware and autonomous.

Two ways to avoid a stroke
Tea’s reputation as an elixir of good
health has been given a boost by a metastudy showing that drinking three cups
a day reduces the risk of stroke by a fifth.
Several studies have suggested that black
tea has a protective effect on the brain,
but the results have never been conclusive. For this major new project, scientists
at the University of California brought
together five previous meta-analyses
(which combine the results of several
studies) in an attempt to produce more
powerful data. They found that people
who drank the most tea (three cups a day
or more) were 20% less likely to suffer
strokes than those who drank little or no
tea. Separately, researchers at University
College, London, found that walking for
90 minutes a day seemed to cut the risk
of stroke by a third, while longer walks cut
the risk by two thirds. Their study, based
on 3,435 healthy men aged 60 to 80,
indicated that it was the time people spent
walking that made the most difference,
not the pace at which they walked.

OPINION
We need pathway planners
Some weeks back, I posed the question: “What do you want to be when
you grow up?” as the preface to
an article about pathway planners.
The subject is a complex one, and
led to my researching planning,
particularly at the school level.
Pathway planners, who offer career
guidance for students in their final
years of high school and college,
have been axed in Tasmania. On
14th October, The Mercury, reported
that the State Government has said
they will get rid of pathway planners.
We all need to plan, for our education and for our future. Pathway
planning is applied in education,
in various ways, around the world.
There are several models, some
applied in Australia, in pathway
planning, and different models are
used in different states. One model
in Australia is the Australian Blueprint
for Career Development (ABCD),
a guide developed to facilitate the
use of pathway planning for young
people in the ACT. The purpose of a
pathway plan is for a young person
to think about who they are, what
they know, where they are going,
how they will get there and who can
help them.
High Five Principles
The ABCD is based on five principles
of career development, created
by career development specialists
from across Canada. The High Five
Principles are imbedded throughout
all activities and learning objectives in a program called The Real
Game Series. These principles help
students reflect, in an ongoing manner, on the relevance of each of the
game’s activities to real life, and on
the changing nature of the world
of work. At the core, students are
urged to: “know yourself, believe
in yourself, and follow your heart.”
Dreams are important, because they
can lead to an understanding of who
we really are and what we really
want to be or do, and are a prime
motivator in shaping a meaningful,
purposeful and rewarding career.

The above all sounds like sensible
planning for life, not just education,
but it may seem daunting, and possibly just a little bit scary, especially
for young people. They may also
fear failure, or lack of achievement.
Starting a course of action is one
part of the equation: completion of
a task or study path is also important.
That’s why it is vital to plan for the
future with as much information as
possible. Good choices can be best
achieved with knowledge, information, support and understanding.
That is one reason why pathway
planners will be sorely missed.

Another piece of advice is that
change is constant. Not only do we
as individuals change, but so does
the world around us, including the
working world. People are now likely
to experience many jobs, in different career fields and with different
employers, during our working lives.
Learning how to adapt to change
is key. It is essential to embrace the
idea of lifelong learning: learning
is ongoing, and graduation is not
the end of learning. We need to
keep learning to make the most of
changing realities. People have to
recognise, grasp, and take advantage of opportunities to learn, which
are everywhere.
While all that is happening, it is
a good idea to focus on the journey,
as well as the destination. The High
Five Principles includes the need
to see the doors of opportunity,
recognise good new possibilities,
and potentially great relationships
along the way.
It is true for many students, workers
and professionals that the destination is not even of their own choosing. It may be one chosen by parents,
or what others feel is best for us.
We are urged to pay attention

Do you remember last November,
when we had a seriously hot spell
and, although the rest of the summer
was perfect weather for them, our
tomatoes did not produce at all well?
This recent icy chill and wind may have
the same effect if you have recently
planted out tomato seedlings, lulled
by the balmy spring we have had. If
your tomato plants are showing signs
of wind damage, I suggest you rip
them out and start again! Tomatoes
are best planted out in mid to late
November. Mine are quite advanced

flowering and beginning to set fruit.
They will happily transplant in a couple
of weeks. A friend of mine who has
a passion for growing early tomatoes,
has already eaten several from the
Kotlas variety in his greenhouse!
Beans suffer if trying to germinate
in a cold snap. Don’t wait too long
before re-sowing. Saving bean seeds
for your own use means you have
plenty of free seeds, so you might as
well use them and cut your losses.
My black turtle climbing beans
emerged the day before that cold
weather but I have plenty of saved
seeds and will not wait long to re-sow
if they do not grow quickly in the next
few days as the weather warms.
Hopefully you have not planted out
cucumbers, pumpkins or small zucchini seedlings as these may have
to be replaced too. Make a note in
your garden diary or smartphone not
to plant out so soon next year! This is

Eighty – going on seventy
When older people get together
and a throw-away “How are you?”
leads inevitably to the ‘organ recital’,
someone is sure to say something
like, “Getting old is not for wimps!”
Maybe not. Someone else might reply,
“No. It’s for the lucky – consider the
alternative!” For the ones still having
birthdays, growing older comes with
the privilege. There are many older
people who recall that, when they
were younger, people seemed, looked
and behaved older than today’s people of the same age. So … is 60 the
new 50? Australian Bureau of Statistics
figures from the last census tell us that
since the late 1800s, life expectancy
from birth – an important variable –
has increased more than thirty years,
from 47 to 79 for boys; from 50 to
83 for girls. As ageing proceeds, the
numbers get higher. Men who live to
65 will average 83 years; women who
live to 65 will average 87 years. Note
that those are ‘average’ figures. Some
will live longer.

Eubie Blake, an American jazz musician who lived to 100 years said, “If I’d
known I was gonna live this long, I’d
have taken better care of myself.” Dietician, Ngaire Hobbins, says we can
take better care of ourselves. In her
recently published book, Eat to Cheat
Ageing, she tells us how. Ngaire, who
moved to Tasmania three years ago
and lives at Margate, says her book
came about after years of frustration
in geriatric clinical practice, “seeing
way too many older clients who were
caught in a vicious spiral of ill health
and physically and mentally frail,
mostly because they had not been
eating to support their ageing bodies.
It’s a thorough review of the nutritional
science in ageing, but it’s written for
the everyday reader.” Dr Jane Tolman,
geriatrician, and Clinical Associate
Professor at UTAS Wicking Dementia
Research and Education Centre, says,
“This book is important for every older
person, but also for each and every
one of us as we relentlessly progress
toward old age. We are what we eat.
If we are to age well, we need to set
down the framework now. Diet is
simply critical …”

“Muscles are the key to healthier old
age, and muscles depend on exercise
and an adequate intake of protein …
your muscles need extra protein [as
you age]: they underpin the immune
system, help maintain body organs,
help wounds to heal, assist in diabetes
control and provide back-up fuel for
the brain”, says Ngaire. “Muscles have
always done that, but their role is more
critical in later age … eating right can
be as easy as putting protein front
and centre in most meals and staying
active.” When younger, most people
try to ‘eat right’ – to avoid weight gain
they choose low-fat foods, lots of
salads and vegetables, for example.
Older people may be less hungry or
afraid of gaining weight, but Ngaire
says older people are at high risk of
losing critical muscle mass if they lose
weight. “My clear advice to older Australians is this: being a bit overweight
is better for your health than being
very lean. The science is quite clear:
people older than 65 or so and who
are a bit heavier than ‘normal’ weight,
have fewer health problems and are
likely to live longer than those who
are slimmer.” That’s not a green light
on the road to obesity. It’s a signpost
to Ngaire’s plans for sensible eating.
The science is clear
From Eat to Cheat Ageing: “Weight
loss diets, once you are in your late
60s or beyond are not good news.
Losing weight by dieting from now on
means losing muscle, and while that
may not be obvious, either in your
everyday activities or how you look,
we now know that it sets you up for
ill health and squandering your independence.” In a chapter on nutrients:
“Amazing as it may seem, as your
Experienced professional

activity levels slow down with age, your
body’s need for protein can at times
be close to that of an elite athlete.”
Plan to eat; eat to plan
Ngaire Hobbins’ book is not full of
impossible targets. There are sensible,
easy ways of adding the protein that
will help older people to build and
retain muscle, and achievable goals
for appropriate exercise, as well as
appropriate cautions. Ngaire is very
happy to share her expertise, talking
to community and seniors groups,
and can be contacted via her website:
www.eattocheatageing.com The book
can also be purchased via the website,
or at any bookstore. Perhaps best of
all about this book is its positive, joyful
and life-affirming message, summed
up in the chapter heading, “Eat to
shine, eat to glow, eat to beat the
creaks!” It makes you feel ten years
younger just to read it.

OPINION
Slumming: and slanging
It is a truism that many, possibly a
majority, of our representatives, state
and federal, have been in politics all
their lives, isolated from the work environment in which most of us have to
find a job and hold it. Pollies begin at
university or in the union, and move
on to office in one or other party. It’s
been a long time since a train driver
might aspire to be PM. That this is
an issue that many politicians are
uncomfortable with is reflected in
their thirst for the photo opportunity in
a workplace. It doesn’t matter what,
as long as the cameras are there.
It is also reflected in their use of
slang in public discourse: language
not their own, but imported from the
workplace, the pub, the footy. It’s a
form of slumming, and an attempt at
ingratiation. It seems to be a need felt
more by blokes than sheilas.
‘Slumming’ or ‘slum tourism’ was
first noted in the 1880s when the
well-to-do do-gooders wanted to see
how the other half lived. It became
fashionable for some. Others, in
the words of the song, “won’t go to
Harlem in ermine and pearls.”
Slang, cant, argot, jargon and colloquialisms all denote the use of
descriptive terms in a limited, defined
and restricted context. Ordinary language is for various reasons rejected
and the employment of ‘in’ terms is
a consequence.
Slang is the commonest of these.
Slang is often the prerogative of an
underclass. In the convict era, the
lags brought with them the dialect
and vocabulary of the outcasts of
England. They flourished in the no-go
12
areas which came to be known as
‘the slums’ or ‘rookeries’.
These were fringe collections of
ramshackle dwellings or dilapidated
housing: hygiene is often poor, malnutrition flourishes, law enforcement
is lax, and the middle class is seldom
to be found there, except when it
goes slumming. The language of
the slums, like their smells, percolates
upwards, and smart people, like PG
Wodehouse’s Bertie Wooster, often
affect it. Politicians do it too.
But borrowing successfully from the
vernacular is an art form. Few people
are good at it. Politicians are given to
it, but in their mouths it almost always
seems pretentious. Even Bob Hawke,
the matiest of blokes flaunting his
spiv’s jacket in celebration of our
America’s Cup win in 1983 couldn’t
pull it off: he sounded false with his,
“Any boss who doesn’t give his staff
the day off... is a bum.” More recently,
Kevin Rudd’s “fair suck of the sauce
bottle, mate,” mate sounded tinny,
even whiney. Not at all the quality
needed to justify the excesses of an
alleged night on the town. “Fair
go, mate. I got shickered,” might
have worked.
The effective use of slang in ordinary
discourse needs a sharp ear for
context. The PM’s now notorious
play with the expression ‘shirt-front’
was totally misjudged at a number
of levels.
Slang is alive and well, thanks to rap
music and text messaging. One of
the delights of the English language
is the ease with which it assimilates
to new terms. Slang has to be fresh

and spontaneous to work: if it’s borrowed, as in “economic girlie-man”,
it sounds false and laboured. In the
mouth of the ‘muscles from Brussels’,
Joe Hockey’s nemesis Matthias Cormann, it is risible.
When I was at secondary school,
slang from the Second World War
was proscribed and so it went underground. ‘Wizard prang’, ‘gone
for a burton’, and ‘snafu’ featured
prominantly in the schoolboy mind,
but were muttered rather than uttered. The First World War was
also a fertile source of slang words:
‘Tommy’ (an English private soldier)
was short for ‘Tommy Atkins’ (the
origin is uncertain). ‘Napoo’ (finished, dead, no more) came from
the French n’y en a plus (there is none
left). ‘Boche’, meaning a German
or the German race, came from the
French word for a villain. ‘Blighty’
meant a wound serious enough to
warrant retirement from the trenches
and invaliding home, but which was
not life-threatening.
Because slang is by definition oral,
its entry into the written canon often
lags behind its evolution. Dictionaries of slang attempt to rationalise the
evolution of slang words, but slang is
not the province of the class that does
the writing, so etymologies are often
fugitive and difficult to come by. Some
authors, however, glorify the richness
of slang, and even manufacture
words which pass into the language.
PG Wodehouse was one such. He
used the word ‘snort’ for a drink and
‘pie-eyed’ for drunk, the modern
explanation of which, attributed to
Hansard, is “the honourable member
was tired and emotional”.
Australian slang is very fertile. We
seem to have a knack for it. We have
the phrase ‘toe-rag’ for a thief, from
the convict habit of wrapping the
foot in cloth when boots wore out.
‘Togs’ denote a swimming costume,
or ‘cossie’. A ‘poon’ is a simpleton.
‘San fairy Anne’, from the French Ça
ne fait rien, means it matters not at
all. The more modern version is ‘I
couldn’t give a rat’s [posterior]’.
But slang needs to be left where it
belongs. Out of context, it is uneasy,
forced, and unnatural. Our pollies
would be well advised to ditch it. Give
it the flick. Bin it.
