"Urgent Detergent" on the way to New Norfolk
There may be a number of at-risk Samsung top-loader washing machines in New Norfolk. |
Samsung first announced the recall of six models of its top-loader washing machines in April 2013. Despite ongoing national advertising campaigns, tens of thousands of recalled top loaders are yet to be resolved either by refund, replacement or rework.
The next phase of Samsung’s recall efforts will include a unique direct mail campaign targeting households in suburbs in Australia, including New Norfolk, which have been identified as likely areas where affected machines may still be in use. Samsung will dispatch "Urgent Detergent" packs to households in New Norfolk. The packages contain a sample of laundry detergent along with information regarding the Samsung washing machine recall.
Samsung will conduct a direct-mail campaign in New Norfolk. |
“We have identified New Norfolk as one of the areas that could have a high concentration of Samsung top-loader washing machines impacted by the recall. Please check your own washer, but then encourage your neighbours, family and anyone else who could own one of the affected top loaders to check their machines,” Mr Lilly said.
The model numbers for theaffected top-loader washing machines are:
- SW75V9WIP/XSA
- SW65V9WIP/XSA
- SW70SPWIP/XSA
- SW80SPWIP/XSA
- WA85GWGIP/XSA

Come on, Cyrene
PAPERMAKER Norske Skog will manufacture a range of "green" chemicals from wood fibre at its Boyer factory near New Norfolk. In a joint venture with Circa Group Pty Ltd, a multi-million dollar commercial demonstration plant will be built at Boyer to produce Cyrene, a non-toxic alternative to existing solvents used in pharmaceutical and agri-chemical industries across the world.
The $6.6 million plant will produce around 50 tonnes of Cyrene per annum and is due to be up and running within 12 months, following a grant of $1.5 million from the State. Government. Norske Skog regional president Andrew Leighton said this diversification into bio-chemical production was a good fit for Norske Skog's Australasian strategic direction of "building our future from fibre and energy".
Mr Leighton said the company had been working with Melbourne-based Circa Group for the past 12 months and he looked forward to a long and productive relationship. He thanked the Tasmanian Government for its support for the exciting new opportunity. Circa Group CEO Tony Duncan said his company's focus was in the research, development and commercialisation of biochemicals from sustainable cellulose feedstocks. He said Circa had been working on the current project since 2009 and it was great to have Norske Skog on board given its knowledge and experience in processing wood residues and large-scale manufacturing.
Mr Duncan said the commercial demonstration plant at the Boyer Mill would be the fifth and largest scale-up of Circa's "Furacell" technology. He said the plant was designed to demonstrate the commercial viability of the technology, while providing increased volumes for researchers and customers in Europe, North America, Asia and locally.
He said customer trials over the last 18 months had shown Cyrene to be one of the very few new solvents capable of competing in a global market of over 900,000 tonnes per annum, where many traditional products are under increasing pressure due to environmental and health concerns.
Announcing the government's support last Friday, Premier Will Hodgman and Resources Minister Paul Harriss, said $6.6 million pilot project had the potential to lead to full-scale commercial production, delivering a new industry and creating as many as 60 new jobs. "The plant will produce Cyrene, a non-toxic, cleaner alternative to fossil fuel-based solvents, and will use certified plantation wood, making this a great example of the potential for value-added processing in our forest industries," Mr Hodgman said.
"While there is a long way to go, this investment by Norske Skog and Circa Group, backed by the government, is an important step for the industry. This demonstrates that there are opportunities to grow the value of our forest industries, to create more jobs in Tasmania. The world wants new, more environmentally-sensitive products to replace those that use fossil fuels, and bio-technology is the way of the future," Mr Hodgman said.
Norske Skog and Circa Group would produce about 50 tonnes of the bio-solvent each year for export to European markets. "The investment is a vote of confidence in the Tasmanian economy, and will add to a long and proud history of forest-based processing at the Boyer Mill site. It also continues Norske Skog’s efforts to move with the market and to position the company to capture emerging opportunities," Mr Hodgman said.
"The government’s commitment will be drawn from unspent Commonwealth funding provided to the State under the Tasmanian Forest Agreement. This is a particularly appropriate use of these funds as they will help to grow – rather than shut down – our forest industries; creating jobs rather than ending them. We are pleased to support this project, and commend all involved in their work to seek a new and exciting future direction for our forest industries," Mr Hodgman said.

No more hiding behind the hedge
The New Norfolk McDonald's minus its hedge. |
The last remnant of the 19th century house that once stood on the corner of Burnett and George Sts opposite the gates to Willow Court, the hedge was felled last Thursday morning.
Contrary to popular opinion, the hedge was not heritage-listed. The confusion arises from the Derwent Valley Council's decision in 2010 to allow the old house to be demolished but not the hedge on Burnett St and a paling fence on the George St frontage.
A 2011 artist's impression of the New Norfolk McDonald's including the hedge. |
In the wake of the felling of the hedge, commentators have variously lamented its loss or welcomed the improved access for pedestrians and better sight-lines for traffic. In response, the Derwent Valley Council issued the following statement late last week:
- "Council is aware that the hedge has been removed."
- "No, the hedge is not heritage listed."
- "The hedge has been removed due to it obstructing pedestrian traffic in Burnett and George Streets."
- "Lopping of the hedge is not an option as it would expose a great deal of dead wood and would not be an attractive planting."
- "Council has requested the landowner to replace the hedge with suitable plants to the satisfaction of council."

Flag flying low for France
THE Australian Flag above the Derwent Valley Council Chambers in New Norfolk is flying at half-mast today and tomorrow (Tuesday) as a mark of respect and mourning for those who lost their lives during recent events in the French capital.
Across Tasmania, all councils will fly their flags at half-mast tomorrow as a means of demonstrating sympathy and support to those communities affected by last Friday's violent attacks in Paris.
“In our peaceful part of the world, it is difficult to comprehend such wanton violence but it is important we stand against it,” Local Government Association of Tasmania president Doug Chipman said.
“Flying our flags at half-mast not only shows our concern for the victims and their communities, but also our determination to be strong," Alderman Chipman said.
“Our thoughts, our sympathy and our condolences are with all those impacted,” he said.

Biggest Remembrance Day service in decades
Mayor Martyn Evans and RSL sub-branch president Stephen Ball. |
New Norfolk RSL Sub-Branch president Stephen Ball welcomed those present and spoke of the special significance of the day. "At 11am on the 11th November, 1918, the guns fell silent on the Western Front, ending the First World War. We come here today to remember all those who have died or suffered in wars and conflicts and their families."
Wreaths were laid at the Cenotaph and a short address was given by Reverend Celia Hooker from St Matthew's Anglican Church. Just before 11am Mr Ball recited the Ode of Remembrance and Arthur Jones from the Derwent Valley Concert Band played the Last Post which led into a minute's silence.
After the singing of the National Anthem the focus shifted to the official opening of Centenary of Anzac Remembrance Garden adjacent to the Cenotaph. Thanking the State Government and Derwent Valley Council for their support of the project, Mr Ball said the roses planted in the garden had been chosen for their special significance. They are the Centenary of Gallipoli Rose and the Peace Rose.
Mr Ball then joined Mayor Martyn Evans in unveiling the Millbrook Rise interpretation panel telling the story of the Derwent Valley's participation in World War I and of the efforts to support soldiers when they returned from the war. Councillor Martyn Evans thanked the following for their assistance with information for the information panel: New Norfolk Historical Information Centre, Warwick Lee from the Army Museum of Tasmania, New Norfolk RSL Sub-branch and Ken O’Brien OAM, as well as Derek Jones for his work on the design of the board, and Cr Damian Bester and Cr Paul Belcher for their involvement on the working group headed by regional development officer Jess Dallas.

Colourful tribute at Arthur Square
PART of Arthur Square in New Norfolk became a field of pink and blue yesterday morning following the annual event remembering those lost to cancer as well as those who have survived the illness or are presently struggling with it.
Reverend Celia Hooker of St Matthew's Anglican Church officiated for the memorial service which was organised by the Can-Hope Cancer Support Group. Most of those in attendance were either celebrating being a survivor or remembering those who have passed away.
These tribute events are often called Mini Fields of Women due to the tradition of placing pink silhouettes in the ground or on display, bearing personal messages from family and friends.
A local innovation this year was the creation of blue silhouettes for those specifically wishing to remember a male relative or friend.
The Can-Hope Cancer Support Group meets on the first Wednesday of the month at the New Norfolk Library. Phone 6261 3874 for more information.
