FRASER COAST CENTRAL

HERALD NEWS PAPER DOES A FEATURE

ON AGED CARE UNITS IN THE BURRUM DISTRICT

In 1976 a suggestion at a local meeting in Howard to create
housing for seniors resulted in a six year campaign from
almost every sector of the local community to raise funds,
lobby government departments, and do whatever had to be
done to achieve the goal…
August 28 marks twenty eight years since the first Burrum
Aged Units were opened, a remarkable achievement for the
small hard working district.
Now in 2009 there are 32 Burrum Aged Units throughout
Howard and Torbanlea, providing safe and secure housing
for seniors. These units are an integral part of the community,
and plan to develop further in the future.
Burrum Aged Units are creating a special feature in conjunction
with the Maryborough Herald, showcasing a little of its
history, and the people who are part of it.
Burrm Aged Units have nominated you as a special community
and/or business partners now, and for the future.
We invite you to participate in this special anniversary feature,
and have negotiated special discount advertising rates
to encourage your participation. Help make this a feature to
remember, and to remind the broader region of the achievements
of the Burrum.
Promote your products and services, place your special message
for Burrum Aged Units, promote your seniors specials,
to 11,700 readers with this great feature.

Please phone Edith Rutherford on 0409 609 971 

as she visits the Burrum district, or fax to (07)4122 4734,

* In the event that some of you are confused as to where the units are that have been depicted in the photo above, be it known that approval to build similar lakeside aged seniors accommodation units may be sought from council @ Annie St Howard in the near future by Wide Bay District Developments Pty Ltd. Note the headline of MORE units in Burrum.

Subject: FW: Fuel subsidy Queensland

For those in Queensland, some of you may be  unaware of the State Government’s plans to  scrap the fuel subsidy in the  July budget. Without this subsidy, fuel will  become approximately  9c/litre more expensive and registration costs on all vehicles will  increase.  The RACQ is doing an online poll/petition which they intend  to send to Premier Bligh objecting the scrapping of the subsidy.

New cards and on-line

searching and borrowing

for

Fraser Coast library users

Library users can now search the collections of the five Fraser Coast libraries on the internet using the updated Web Browser-based search application (WebOPAC) and readers are being issued with new regional library cards.

Fraser Coast Regional Councillor Linda Harris said the regional WebOPAC gave readers the opportunity to search and reserve the collections in Hervey Bay, Burrum Heads, Howard, Maryborough and Tiaro libraries.

“Previously readers would have had to search three different catalogues to see if the book they were after was available but now it only takes one search. Readers were also having to reserve material in different catalogues and remember to renew their loans at the different branches or online in two places and it also meant inter-branch loans took longer to process,” she said.

Now library customers can search, reserve books and renew loans on line in a one-stop web interface, and books can be transferred from library to library the same day by courier.

The Fraser Coast libraries have also purchased card printers for all branches to issue new regional library cards which reflect the regional service. The new card allows readers to borrow at any branch with the one library card.

Councillor Harris said plans were also under way for self-service kiosks at the main branches of Hervey Bay and Maryborough at which readers could independently check out books they want to borrow.

More information is available at any of the Fraser Coast libraries.

MEDIA RELEASE

Gallery hosts lecture on Met

exhibition

Hervey Bay Regional Gallery will host a free, public lecture next week on the Queensland Art Gallery’s latest major exhibition coup.

Visitors to the lecture will hear about the amazing exhibition, American Impressionism and Realism: A Landmark Exhibition from the Met, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

The exhibition opened in Brisbane on 30 May. Queensland Art Gallery is the only venue in the world to show this collection of more than 70 impressionist and realist paintings from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

The exhibition presents works by some of America’s foremost artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including James McNeill Whistler, John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer, Childe Hassam, William Merritt Chase, Maurice Prendergast and Mary Cassatt.

Highlighting how Australian artists responded to key artistic developments of the time, more than 30 iconic Australian paintings will also be included in the exhibition. Australian artists will include Tom Roberts, Charles Conder, Frederick McCubbin and Rupert Bunny.

The free lecture at 6pm on Wednesday, 17 June, will be given by Angela Goddard, the Queensland Art Gallery’s curator of Australian art to 1970.

The lecture will be held at Hervey Bay Regional Gallery, 161 Old Maryborough, Road, Pialba. For further details please telephone Hervey Bay Regional Gallery on 4197 4210.
