LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Council and state politicians do nothing about litter
Dear Editor,I live near Middleton, work full time and pay rates to
Kingborough Council. I regularly explore the Channel Highway and coast line
between Flowerpot and Gordon because of my pastimes,fishing and bike riding.
The increasing amount of rubbish being dumped on theChannel Highway is disgraceful.
It includes bottles, bags, tyres, fridges, food containers,concrete, furniture, beds and bicycles.
There is no limit to the size or volume of rubbish beingdumped on a daily basis.
In July 2020, I sent correspondence with photographs toKingborough Council and various state members for theaffected area informing them of the litter problem and seek-ing their assistance.
It is now almost November and I have heard absolutelynothing from any of these elected members.
These paid public servants should be publicly named by me. I now spend time walking along the Channel Highway to
collect litter. I fill large garbage bags with other peoplesâ rubbish and
responsibly dump the rubbish at council tips, at my own
expense. I do not have the resources or money to remove larger
items like tyres, furniture and fridges. Why should I pay tip fees to Kingborough Council to dump
illegal litter that Kingborough Council chooses to ignore? This week, I discovered that Kingborough Council
installed new warning signs at the Gordon camping groundtelling people to not use the garbage bins at the campingground for âhousehold itemsâ.
Kingborough Council should hang its head in shame. It does nothing about cleaning up the Channel Highway,
to the dismay of locals and tourists, and it completelyignores a rate payer who notified the Kingborough Councilin writing of a legitimate issue about illegal dumping.
Yet the Kingborough Council has the time and resourcesto manufacture and install signs telling people to not userubbish bins.
The people of Tasmania deserve better. What on earth do these politicians do all day?
James AnthonyMiddleton
Climate cycles, not climate changeDear Editor,Academics and green groups continually herald impending
doom awaiting mankind by way of climate change.These doomsayers proclaim the destruction of our planet if
we fail to accept their theories; âthe end is nighâ.I would like to present another view on this subject.
As a historian, researcher and author of a large number ofancestral books, plus other volumes dealing with house his-tories, I have researched times past and events.
My books are written about people, houses and buildingsinhabiting all Australian states and New Zealand.
To add colour and describe circumstances affecting earlygenerations, I like to include events that have transpiredsince the 1780s in both countries.
This research revealed evidence of climate cycles, ratherthan climate change.
For example, the number of fatal bush fires in Tasmaniaoccurred with astonishing frequency throughout earliergenerations.
Cyclical climate events have happened since the timeLieutenant David Collins quit the shores of Sorrento, Victoria toestablish a settlement on the Derwent River, Tasmania.
Before Collinsâ arrival, there were many of European andAmerican descent already established along the Derwent,as per early Musters (convict lists) from 1808, who mayhave accidentally caused many bushfires.
Climate cycles occur for many reasons.A famous example of climate cycles would be the Ice Age
millions of years ago.True, larger populations today are building houses where no
caring folks would build, adding to the current problems.People must think where to build and clear building sites
of vegetation growing too close to any building. This will reduce stress on SES Volunteers and fire brigade
staff. Barry CampbellBlackmans Bay
The Federal Government recently handed down itsseventh Budget.
Sadly, what we saw from this government was $1 trillionof debt and not much to show for it.
Too many Tasmanians were left out of this Budget. There was no plan for childcare, no plan for jobs, no plan
for social housing and no plan for the future.In the Kingborough area, we sadly saw no new invest-
ment for infrastructure. We know that congestion in Kingston is becoming worse,
with commuters often seeing major delays along theSouthern Outlet.
The State Governmentâs Hobart City Deal identifiedKingston congestion as a priority area, with the addition ofa fifth lane along the Southern Outlet being proposed.
The Federal Government, in its latest Budget, had anopportunity to bring forward this project to start easing traf-fic into Hobart.
Sadly, this did not happen.
The Federal Government also did not provide any fundsfor the repair of existing social or public housing homes, orto build new social houses.
Many economists have identified that investing in socialhousing is the best way to provide immediate stimulus toour economy.
Anthony Albanese and Labor have called for the FederalGovernment to inject $500 million from the Federal Budgetto repair the 100,000 social housing dwellings around thecountry that are in urgent need of maintenance.
We know that in Tasmania, there are up to $60 millionworth of repairs and maintenance projects on social hous-ing dwellings.
This plan would create hundreds of jobs in constructionand trades here in Tasmania but, more than this, it wouldprovide hundreds with a better home.
Labor has announced that their future government would,from 1 July 2022, remove the annual cap on the childcaresubsidy, making it easier for families to work more hours.
If elected, Labor will increase the maximum childcaresubsidy to 90 per cent, cutting costs for 97 per cent of allfamilies in the childcare system.
Currently, there are around 1700 families receiving child-care subsidies in the Kingborough and Huon areas.
This subsidy is helping 2450 childcare in these areas toaccess early childhood education.
This policy will help more families in the Kingboroughcommunity to access early childhood education whilst alsoboosting womenâs workforce participation, boosting pro-ductivity, injecting up to $4 billion a year in economicgrowth and getting Tasmanians back into work.
Despite the Federal Government racking up one trilliondollars of debt, many Tasmanians have been left behind.
With the latest figures showing Tasmania has the secondhighest unemployment rate in the country at 7.6 per centand underemployment at 10.8 per cent, the governmentneeds a plan for jobs.
COMMENT COLUMN with Federal Member for Franklin Julie Collins, MP
TUESDAY, 27 OCTOBER 2020 KINGBOROUGH CHRONICLE â 3
Environmentally friendly mooring systems are tobe installed in North West Bay at Margate torestore seagrass communities and essential fishhabitat damaged by traditional chain moorings.
Seagrass communities are important nursery habitatsfor fish and squid and can be damaged by traditionalchain mooring systems, which scour the seabed.
On October 20, southern Tasmania natural resource man-agement organisation NRM South said the association waspleased to announce its success in securing FederalGovernment funding for the fish habitat restoration project.
The works are part of the Federal GovernmentâsFisheries Habitat Restoration Program to assist in restor-ing the health and functionality of coastal and estuarinefisheries habitats.
NRM South said the organisation will work directly withrecreational fishing groups, including TarFish and OzFish,to restore the habitat and monitor the outcomes.
The organisation said its research partners, CSIRO andthe University of Tasmania, will provide scientific rigourto the initiatives.
Outcomes to be monitored include changes in the sea-grass communities.
According to NRM South, environmentally friendly moor-ing systems are effective in restoring seagrass habitat andover the last few years the CSIRO has developed solutionsto make it easier and cheaper to install them.
The organisation hopes that environmentally friendlymoorings will become more widely used across theregion as an outcome of the project.
NRM South said the project will also be supported bywaterway and land managers, including KingboroughCouncil.
NRM South CEO Nepelle Crane acknowledged the sig-nificance of the funding to rebuild fish habitat in keyareas for recreational fisheries.
âIt will enable NRM South to build partnerships betweenrecreational fishers and local communities, land andlease managers and local researchersâ said Ms Crane.
âWeâre looking forward to putting these funds intoaction on two vital fish habitat restoration projects thatwill improve the ecological, social and recreational valueof our coastal waterways.â
Project Coordinator for NRM Southâs Tasmanian SmartSeafood Partnership Jennifer Hemer, emphasised theimportance of working with recreational fishing groupsto the success to the projects.
âAround one in four Tasmanians are recreational fish-ers,â said Ms Hemer.

âI know the staff at Kingborough Council are dedicated,hardworking and focussed on continuous improvementand I am really looking forward to working with them,âsaid Dr Stephenson.
Mayor of Kingborough Council, Cr Dean Winter saidthat Dr Stephenson will be a valuable addition to theKingborough Council team.
âAs an organisation, we are always looking to recruithigh-quality people and Dr Stephenson is a great exam-ple of that,â Mayor Winter said.
âThe appointment is the first time we have had aDirector of Planning sitting on our executive leadershipteam, which is an important move.
âWe know we have a lot to work on with planning.
âWe want to get the balance right between allowing peo-ple to build and develop our area and sensible conditionsthat protect neighbours from unreasonable impacts.â
Dr Stephenson added that supporting the community willbe a driving force behind her work at Kingborough Council.
âI look forward to being able to contribute directly tohow council supports the Kingborough community dur-ing recovery and beyond,â said Dr Stephenson.
âThis is a significant period for Kingborough Council, man-aging the impacts and risks related to COVID-19 with a con-strained budget but still high community expectations.
âHowever, COVID has also exposed potential opportu-nities to be leveraged, in the way we work and in theway communities use local spaces.â
President of LGAT and West Tamar Council Mayor, CrChristina Holmdahl, recently announced the departure
of Dr Stephenson.âDr Stephenson will be greatly missed, having been
pivotal to LGATâs strong record of delivery for 13 years,including five years as CEO,â said Ms Holmdahl.
âKingborough Council is very fortunate to haveKatrena joining them.â
Ms Holmdahl said Dr Stephenson has provided dedi-cated and strong leadership to the Tasmanian local gov-ernment sector and delivered significant outcomes forcouncils including securing over $2.5 million in grantfunding, helping Tasmania move to a new NationalLocal Government Industry Award, ensuring ongoinglocal government ownership of TasWater, implementingnew services, leading collaboration and joint advocacyand growing LGAT procurement so that over $2 millionin savings were delivered to councils in the last year.

fishers understand the importance of healthy and pro-ductive coastal and marine waterways.
âWeâre excited to be working with our partners TarFish andOzFish on these projects, which will help improve the recre-ational fishing experience, valued by so many Tasmanians.
âThis work extends NRM Southâs portfolio of marineand coastal restoration projects and builds on the exist-ing Tasmanian Smart Seafood Partnership project, fund-ed by the Australian Governmentâs Smart FarmsProgram and delivered in partnership with theTasmanian Seafood Industry Council.
âThe Tasmanian Smart Seafood Partnership projectworks with the Tasmanian seafood industry to restoremarine habitats and improve outcomes for marine bio-diversity in Tasmanian waterways through training andeducation,â Ms Hemer said.
Announcing funding for the project on Friday, October16, Senator for Tasmania and Assistant Minister for
Forestry and Fisheries, the Honourable JonathonDuniam said the restoration would benefit recreationalfishers by improving the health and productivity of habi-tats that support fish stocks and fisheries.
âAustraliaâs waterways are some of the best in theworld,â said Assistant Minister Duniam.
âItâs critical we keep our fisheries habitats healthy so wecan continue to enjoy our world-class fishing into the future.
âThe environmentally friendly moorings for fish habitatrestoration of seagrasses project in North West Bay will helprestore essential fish habitat damaged by swing moorings.
âThis funding will see Regional Land Partnershipproviders and recreational fishing groups partner inrolling-up their sleeves to directly improve fish habitats.â
âThe Fisheries Habitat Restoration Program is a 2019government election commitment to provide $8 millionto restore the health and functionality of coastal andestuarine fisheries habitats.â

Tramway Hill Landcare volunteers were busy atthe Davis Flat Reserve on Saturday, October 10,carrying out weeding to remove pervasive plantspecies from the area.
Volunteers Roz Thurn, Angela Brinkhoff, MorrisWorsley, Alan Russell, Marie Giblin and GabrielMatuszak removed thistles, broom, Spanish heath andother undesired vegetation while working at the reserve.
Flowering forget-me-not herbaceous weeds werereportedly in abundance on the stone walls, howeverthese were left as the group did not have the manpow-er to remove them.
Cape weed was also prolific along the fence-line ofthe track from Rollins Road.
The group were able to enjoy good weather on the day.Volunteers from the group also carried out work in
between their official working bees at Nierinna CreekReserve and Brinks Link.
According to the Department of Primary Industries,Parks Water and Environment, Tasmania has 147 weedsdeclared under the Weed Management Act 1999.
There are also a range of weed species not declaredunder the Act, usually referred to as environmentalweeds, that are of interest to the community.
Environmental weeds invade bushland and threatenTasmaniaâs native habitats and biodiversity.
Weed invasion can causes a decline in native plantsand thus the native birds, insects and other species that
depend on the native vegetation.The Tasmanian Governmentâs priority weeds for con-
trol are those that are either considered eradicable, ata statewide or regional scale, or threaten high-priorityagricultural or environmental assets.
The government supports the weed managementprinciple of shared responsibility, with the communityhaving a role to play in preventing weeds from becom-ing a serious threat.
In the 2018/19 state budget, the governmentannounced the creation of a Weeds Action Fund, allo-cating $5 million over five years, to assist farmers andcommunity organisations to tackle weeds impactingvaluable agricultural and environmental assets.
Applications for the current round of small grants, between$1000 and $10,000, from the Tasmanian Governmentâs WeedAction Fund are open until 11pm on Sunday, November 1.
Application forms can be found via the NRM Northwebsite at https://nrmnorth.org.au/ or phone 1300 109676 for further information.

Kingborough residents and businesses havebeen urged to stay COVID-Safe as bordersreopened yesterday, Monday, October 26.
Tasmania eased border restrictions for people travel-ling from Queensland, the Australian Capital Territory,South Australia, Western Australia and the NorthernTerritory based on current Public Health advice.
A registration system will be in place for anyone enter-ing the state from identified low-risk jurisdictions, withtravellers required to register their travel three daysprior to arrival.
Quarantine requirements will not be in place for peo-ple travelling from these jurisdictions provided theyhave not spent time in an affected region or premises,as specified by the State Government, in the 14 daysbefore arriving in Tasmania
Border restrictions will remain in place for people trav-elling from NSW and Victoria, who will need to applythrough the G2G PASS system process until furthernotice.
Attorney-General of Tasmania, the Honourable EliseArcher MP thanked those Tasmanians who have beendoing the right thing.
âTasmanians have played a crucial role in keepingthemselves and their communities safe during theCOVID-19 pandemic and our government thanks every-one for their efforts so far,â said Ms Archer.
âAs we relaxed our border restrictions with low riskjurisdictions on October 26, itâs important that allTasmanian businesses review their COVID-Safety plansand processes and ensure they are clearly communi-cating requirements with patrons and customers.
âBusinesses are inspected on a risk basis for contin-ued compliance with their COVID-19 Safety Plan andthe Work Health and Safety Act 2012, with improve-ment notices issued when required.
âOur workplaces and industries are doing a wonderfuljob with their COVID Safety plans and we urge all busi-nesses to keep up that good work as we move into thenext important stage of our recovery process.â
Ms Archer said it was pleasing to see how willingemployers, workers and the community have been incontributing and playing their important part in keepingTasmanians safe and supporting the stateâs economy.â
Opposition Leader, the Honourable Rebecca White MPsaid itâs âastonishingâ that the government hasnât beenrunning a massive public information campaign toencourage more testing in light of the heightened risksassociated with border restrictions easing.
âIt is concerning that so few Tasmanians are gettingCOVID-19 tests and it will become even more importantto increase our testing rates once borders reopen,â MsWhite remarked.
âWorryingly it seems Peter Gutwein is just crossing hisfingers and hoping that the level of testing has miracu-lously increased by then.
âOur borders have kept us safe, the protocols the gov-ernment adopts for opening them are too important toget wrong.
âThere is still no detail about who will be responsible
for staffing the health screening at Tasmaniaâs ports ofentry or whether the government has recruited andtrained staff for this important responsibility.
âAll Tasmanians, and in particular workers in ouraged, disability and health care sectors, deserve toknow more about what Peter Gutweinâs plan is.â
Ms Archer said that all Tasmanians need to rememberthey have a part to play in keeping their family, friendsand community safe.
âIn addition to businesses taking steps to keep theirworkers, patrons and customers safe, we need the helpof Tasmanians to keep on top of COVID,â Ms Archerreminded.
âPlease remember; wash your hands, keep your dis-tance, stay at home if youâre sick, get tested if you havesymptoms and follow the current restrictions.
âWe also ask that everyone remains respectful of therole of staff in businesses as they follow the rules tokeep Tasmanians safe.â

The State Government is under increasing pres-sure to recall thousands of Tasmaniansâ driverslicence images and data, including information forall Kingborough drivers aged 16 and over, sent toa national facial recognition database last year.
The data was covertly transferred to the now stalledFederal Department of Home Affairs biometric databaseand a petition signed by over 700 Tasmanians hasrequested the recall, along with a guarantee that newdata currently is not being transferred and strength-ened privacy safeguards for the future.
Independent Member for Nelson, the Honourable MegWebb MLC described the State Governmentâs responseto the petition as woeful and out of touch.
âThe Gutwein Governmentâs priority must be the pro-tection of all Tasmaniansâ sensitive and personal data,âMs Webb said.
âRather than instilling confidence, the governmentâsresponse to the tabled petition raises further questionsand continues a disturbing pattern of obfuscation andshirking of responsibility.
âPremier Peter Gutwein failed to commit to retrievinghundreds of thousands of our driver licence photos and
data already given to Home Affairs, or to provide guaran-tees there will not be any further transfer of data whilethe national database legislation remains in limbo.â
In October 2019, the Parliamentary Joint Committeeon Intelligence and Security rejected the Identity-matching Services Bill 2019, which would haveenabled the creation of the proposed National DriverLicence Facial Recognition Solution (NDLFRS).
The rejection was based on the grounds the legisla-tion lacked safeguards to ensure appropriate gover-nance, accountability and protection of privacy.
Approximately 410,000 Tasmanian driverâs licencephotos were transferred to the data base in Canberraby the Tasmanian Government.
As of June 2020, data had been transferred byQueensland, South Australian, Victoria and Tasmaniahowever, the ACT has refused to upload driversâlicences until legislation passes, a move that has beenapplauded by privacy advocates.
Principal petitioner and Tasmanian Director of CivilLiberties Australia Richard Griggs said it is both extraor-dinary and disappointing the State Government isfalling behind jurisdictions like the ACT, by refusing to
take simple proactive steps.âIn contrast to Tasmanians, Territorians have received
a guarantee from their government that no ACT datawill be transferred until legislation is passed in both theACT and Commonwealth parliaments and participationagreements are signed,â Mr Griggs said.
âThis is extremely telling because the ACT has a largenumber of resident Federal public servants who under-stand the reality that mistakes can be made and the needto tread cautiously rather than sign up sight unseen.
âAs it currently stands, we do not know what privacyprotections will be in place and this is unacceptable forsuch a large and important tranche of sensitive biomet-ric data.
âWe also do not have clarity about which non non-government organisations, such as banks, will be pro-vided access.
âThe ACT Government has held firm by refusing toupload the photographs of its citizens in the absence ofa rigorous legislative framework and Tasmaniansshould be able to expect the same level of protectionfrom our own state government.â
Ms Webb also advised the initial transfer of photos
occurred without consideration by the full parliament.âWe need an immediate guarantee that the
Tasmanian Parliament will consider state legislationdetailing appropriate privacy agreements for any futureuse of this data,â stated Ms Webb.
âAlmost a year ago, the Federal Government-led jointintelligence committee had the gumption to reject theproposed facial recognition database law and demandit be rewritten and built around the principles of priva-cy, transparency and with robust oversight.
âDespite the Federal committeeâs rejection of the pro-posed legislation and the recent example set by theACT, it beggars belief that Premier Gutwein still refusesto act to protect Tasmaniansâ privacy or guarantee arole for the Tasmanian parliament.â
Mr Griggs agreed that the protection of the privacy ofTasmanians was essential moving forward and that thepublic deserves a say in what happens to their information.
âIt is essential for Tasmanians to have a say via theState Parliament on whether privacy protections areadequate and if, and under what conditions,Tasmaniansâ sensitive personal data is provided to anational database,â Mr Griggs concluded.
Right to biometric data privacy
Pet parents in the Kingborough community, espe-cially new owners, are being called upon to pro-tect their four-legged friends against fleas, ticksand worms this spring and summer.
The call-to-action comes after vets have seen anincrease in parasite cases occurring during winter,before the warmer months have even set in.
To assist and educate pet parents navigate this trou-blesome issue, Petbarn and Greencross Vets haverevealed the most common parasite myths, includingpet parents wrongly assuming pets are only at risk inthe summer months and that puppies and kittens aretoo young to contract parasitic diseases.
Parasites are only a risk in summer: While fleasand ticks may thrive in warmer environments, they arevery much a risk to your pet all year-round.
I canât see worms, so my pets mustnât have any:Worms live in your petâs intestines and, if contaminat-ed, your pet will most likely only have worm eggs andlarvae in their faeces, which are too small for the nakedhuman eye to see.
My puppy/kitten is too young: Newborn puppiesand kittens have a weaker immune system and can becontaminated from their motherâs milk or even bornwith worms already.
My pet lives indoors/in our garden: Not going out-
side does not parasite-proof your pet. Simply eatingcontaminated grass, or licking shoes, can cause con-tamination and humans can also unknowingly bringparasites into their homes.
Humans canât contract parasites from pets:Humans can contract parasites from their pets throughcontact with contaminated faeces, through saliva, com-ing in contact with areas that pets relieve themselves inor something as harmless as a snuggle.
A single product can protect my pet: No singleproduct can provide 100 per cent protection against allparasites so you must always use a combination ofproducts to keep your pet safe.
I can give my cat, dog medication and viceversa: Itâs essential to read all labels very carefully and only provide your pet with medication specificallyregistered for use in their species, appropriate for their age and weight as the wrong medication could be lethal.
With so many parasites out there, that can harm pets, itcan be very confusing and overwhelming for pet parents tochoose the right product that provides complete protection.
To help pet parents navigate parasite confusion, aFlea, Tick and Worm Treatment Finder tool is availablethrough the Petbarn website.
If in doubt, consult your vet about a petâs specific needs.

Senator for Tasmania, the Honourable CatrynaBilyk reminded people shopping in Kingboroughto be kind and courteous to workers in all cafĂŠs,restaurants and retail outlets.
Three years ago, the SDA, a union representing retail,fast food and warehouse workers, launched its âNo-onedeserves a serveâ campaign to highlight the impact ver-bal and physical abuse by customers was having onretail and fast-food workers.
Senator Bilyk, whose office is situated in Kingston Plaza,said that everyone deserves a workplace free of abuse.
âAccording to surveys by the SDA, 85 per cent of retailand fast-food workers have experienced abuse fromcustomers,â said Senator Bilyk.
âThis has a big impact on their physical and mentalhealth, and these workers have the right to work in asafe environment.â
Senator Bilyk said that the additional demands placedon customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic, such associal distancing, limits on the number of customersand sanitising hands, did not excuse abuse either.
âSome customers may find these directions frustrating,but please remember that they are in place to protectyour health and the health of others,â Senator Bilyk said.
âIf you think the directions are unreasonable you cantell the business in a politely-worded letter of complaint.
âStaff are simply doing their jobs and following direc-tions and there is no excuse for abuse.â

Kingborough trampolining athletes were excitedto return to competition on Friday, October 16after COVID-19 caused the cancellation of thisyearâs scheduled events.
The gymnasts competed in front of a panel of accred-ited judges and were required to wear full competitionuniform as they tested their skills against other mem-bers of the Kingborough Gymsports trampolining squad.
âItâs an in-house competition for us but we tried tomake it a little bit more inspiring for them,â said Coachand Competition Co-Ordinator Ben Kelly.
âItâs just a way of putting a bit of pressure on them toperform, even though itâs within their club training envi-ronment.â
All of the gymnasts involved in the club competitionare working at, or trialling for, the international streamfor the 2021 Australian Gymnastics Championships.
Several of the athletes competing at the club eventhave previously won gold in international competition,including key athletes who competed at the 2019 WorldAge Championships in Japan last year.
Judges scored the athletes based on the execution oftwo routines, assessed against the difficulty of themanoeuvres and how well the competitors were able tostay centralised on the trampoline throughout.
Matthew French came out on top of the table with
98.375, making an impressive return after spraining hisback earlier this year.
âIâm here to be part of the team and have some fun,âMatthew said.
Placing second with 96.985 overall was experiencedcompetitor Damien Axelsen, who was competing for thefirst time this year.
âItâs actually my first-time competing trampoline since2016, I specialise in the double-mini,â explained Damien.
Damien said there were still some nerves but it wasreally good to compete with friends in a team environ-ment, pushing each other a little bit harder.
Eddy Rand came in third with 93.235 and AmberFrench was close behind in fourth with 92.855, bothwere veterans of last yearâs Tokyo World Championships.
James Sonneveld took fifth place with 90.840 andsaid that although the break has been nice, itâs good tobe back competing.
âItâs been a bit relaxing because I havenât had anythingto focus on other than study,â James remarked.
âNow that itâs coming back Iâm enjoying it a lot.âOther competitors were: Lukas Smit (90.620), Callum
OâSullivan (88.970), Tristan Styles (87.515), Nicholas Kerr(86.320), Maddison McCulloch (85.320), Cara Berry(81.455), Patrick Schluter (66.345), Rohan Wilcox(61.155), Flynn Caro (57.170) and Axel Murdoch (53.600).

In the Bowls Tasmania South Pennant Competitionon Saturday, October 17, the inclement weatherconditions came in earlier than forecast andimpacted greatly on competition.
All Kingborough team games except Division 1 werewashed out.
Division 1 luckily played in the Donald Hazell IndoorCentre at the Kingborough Bowls and Community Club atMargate where they hosted the visiting Claremont team.
Kingborough won on three of the four rinks played onthe day beating Claremont overall 91 shots to 77 shots.
Tony Roweâs rink of Michael Peter Andersch, Ian Harrisand Leonie Price had a good day winning 29-16.
Tony Clark and his rink of Michael Steele, ConradWesthead and Ian Cooke won 25-19.
Mark Crawford with Rod Cooper Graham Lack andTony Verrier, in a tight game, got up 18-17.
As the result of the other Kingborough game beingwashed out, the Division 1 game was played in front ofa large audience, with most of the other Kingboroughplayers staying on to support the Division 1 team.
The atmosphere in the Indoor Centre was reminiscentof a grand final playoff and the Division 1 players werevery appreciative of the support.
In the Wednesday Midweek Pennant Competition,Division 1 again found the going tough in their new divi-sion when they travelled to Sandy Bay.
Kingborough put up a good battle against the strongSandy Bay team, who defeated them overall by onlynine shots, 61 shots to 52.
Sandy Bay won on two rinks with the third rink drawing. Gavin Cleary and his rink of Michael Peter Andersch,
Conrad Westhead and Tony Verrier drew 19-19.Division 3 played on grass at home at Margate, against
the visiting Sorell Bowls Club team. Kingborough had anoverall 66 to 52 shots win against the visitors, claimingvictory on two of the three rinks played.
Kingboroughâs Bruny Island rink of Gary Baker, JohnKobylec, Max Burslem and Geoff Eddington had an out-standing game winning 32-11.
The rink of Terry Thompson, Mike Westlake, AnthonySculthorpe and Geoff Price won 20-18.

KINGBOROUGHGOLF RESULTS
The rugby season for the Taroona Penguins came toan end with a stirring underdogsâ victory in a GrandFinal against their northern rivals, Devonport.
The Penguinsâ season started slowly but built momen-tum with every game.
Each game, whether won or lost, was a learningexperience and the subsequent game was an improve-ment on what had gone before.
Young and lightly experienced players were carefullybrought on and a heavy injury toll was deftly managed.
The Penguins finished the rostered rounds at secondplace on the ladder with five wins, four losses and asingle draw.
Devonport were the undefeated minor premiers.Taroona entered the finals series with momentum
and although they went down against Devonport in thefirst preliminary, the players were not unduly worriedas they knew they had more in the tank.
They disposed of Glenorchy in the semis with someease, while Devonport had the week off.
It all came together in the final with a clinical displayof wet weather rugby.
Ruthless defence, a well-executed, strategic kickinggame, accurate goal kicking and brilliant attacking playwhen the opportunities were available.
The Devonport forward based game never got a
chance to rumble or cause the damage they wereaccustomed to inflicting.
Two tries went to Oscar Gilding, one each to AlistairBurke and Charlie Holmes.
Edward Salter kicked four penalties and made threeconversions for a total of 38 points.
Devonport exploited a rare moment of confusion inthe Penguin defence to score and convert in the firsthalf for seven points.
A consolation five pointer in the last play of the gamestill saw Devonport pull up a long way short.
Final score: Taroona Penguins 38 defeated Devonport 12.
