One of the toughest things for jobseekers who have been out of work for a while is regaining their confidence.

Christie Robinson knows this only too well. Although she was very keen to work, and would be an asset to any workplace, her confidence was low. This, coupled with her anxiety and lack of belief in herself held her back from long term employment.

Red Cross Employment Services Pialba be-gan working with Christie, ascertaining what she would like to do, and where she would be most comfortable. Red Cross Employ-ment Services began speaking to employers about Christie’s keen nature, and her valu-able experience.

One of these employers was Torbay Re-tirement Villages Limited at Torquay. Torbay was looking for employees to fill domes-tic roles and asked to meet with Christie. Although Christie was not suited to this particular position, Torbay’s HR Department immediately saw potential in Christie and of-immediately saw potential in Christie and of-immediately saw potential in Christie and offered her the opportunity to take on the role of kitchenhand. Christie’s positive nature de-spite having low confidence and knockbacks was contagious.

Christie has been with Torbay since July this year, working as a kitchenhand in one of Torbay’s section kitchens and loving it. She has now been given the opportunity to be trained as a cook.

She continues to flourish, and is now a valued team member of the Torbay team and hopes to be for many years to come.

Another radical idea for Heritage City

Aldridge students Rydge Elliot, Chloe Berrigan, Kate Douty and Gavin Cooper met Cathy Rider from USQ at the University Showcase Tour information day.

University Showcase drops in on Aldridge

Aldridge High School students got the heads up on tertiary courses and life in general when the University Showcase Tour visited the school recently.

Organised by the University of Southern Queensland the showcase provided the stu-dents with a wealth of informa-tion on the courses available, the application process, costs, accommodation and university life in general.

Event organiser Cathy Ryder from the USQ said, “It is great to take a collaborative ap-proach to ensure our regional students have access to qual-ity information.”

The one stop shop featured a general presentation as well as exhibitions from the Univer-sity of Southern Queensland,

Queensland University of Technology, Bond University, Australian Catholic University, Griffi th University, Central Queensland University, Uni-versity of the Sunshine Coast,

Wide Bay Institute of TAFE and the Australian Defence Force.

Universities taking part in the Showcase have spent a week touring schools in the region.

Kayla Warner from Bond University was on hand at Aldridge to help students Ally Reynolds, Brayden Best and Morgan Peters.

The 2013 events calendar is shap-ing to be one of the busiest in the region’s history and Council’s events team is calling on Fraser Coast resi-dents to lend a hand.

Following the success of the AJ13 Scout Jamboree, Ulysses AGM and CMCA Rally currently underway, vol-unteers are needed to assist with organising and staging a number of signature events across the Fraser Coast.

These include:

• Relish Food and Wine Fest (Saturday, 8 June)• The World’s Greatest Pubfest (Sunday, 9 June)• Mary Poppins Festival (Sunday, 30 June)• The Hervey Bay Whale Festival (August) • RACQ Technology Challenge (14 and 15 Sept.)

Councillor for Sport, Recreation, Open Spaces and Events Darren Everard said volunteering in local events is a great way to help and become involved in the community.

“We have volunteers that have been helping with community events and festivals for the better part of a de-cade,” he said.

“Our events are growing bigger every

year and we need more people to get on board and lend a hand.

Councillor Everard is a familiar face at most events across the Fraser Coast, helping with everything from logistics to handing out drinks to road closures.

“I really enjoy working with other passionate members of the Fraser Coast community,” he said.

“The jobs vary from setting up marquees and market stalls, to greeting visitors to liaising with artists and perform-ers and everything in between,” Cr Everard said.

Breakfast visit for MSHS prefects

Maryborough State High School Prefect students were among distinguished guests to hear Stuart Taylor present his inspiring and moving story at the Fraser Coast Young Professionals breakfast at the RSL. Through incredible hardship and with the love and support of his family, Stuart slowly beat his mental injury to emerge stronger and committed to serving his community. Stuart said the love from his wife, Dana; his children Jhairah, Jhazara, and Jhasper; his parents; his siblings; and his faith in God were the key platforms of his recovery. Pictured with Stuart at the breakfast are (from left): Gabe Kidd, Mathew Whiting, Matt Macklin, Ming Zhang, Liam O’Sullivan, Nathan Barrett, Alexander Gergos, Sam Schneider and Logan Jocumsen.

Year twelve student Russel Coverdale is ec-static to have been cho-sen for the 2013 Interna-tional Air Cadet Exchange (IACE) Program.

The assigned exchange is with Belgium from the 22nd of July to 9th of August.

The exchange, involv-ing several hundred participants, takes place over two to three weeks every year.

The Australian Air Force Cadets (AAFC) exchang-es with the following countries; United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, France,

Korea and the Nether-lands.

Russel has been a member of the local Air Force Cadet Squadron for the past fi ve years and is completing year twelve at Maryborough State High School.

When Russel was asked if he would like a career with the Air Force he replied “Yes, My ap-plication with the RAFF is in progress, I would like to be an aircraft munitions technician.”

• Russel is pictured proudly in his cadet uniform at the Maryborough State High School ANZAC ceremony.

Maryborough State High School Captain Cassandra Scott was se-lected to attend the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) Staff Training Sessions in Kioloa, NSW from Sunday April 21st to Thursday April 25th.

Cassandra is one of forty two students who were selected to attend from the four hundred and thirty two students who attended the January Youth Science Forum.

It was wonderful that Cassie was able to take time away from her studies and duties as student and school captain, and represent Maryborough State High School. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Later in the year, Cassandra will also attend one of several profes-sionally-organised outback team-building treks. These very special 5-day events will be held in July.

The treks are staged in spectacular wilderness country and are open only to participants in the NYSF Leadership Program.

Wall challenge at Riverside

Life is great at Riverside Christian College and students are always eager to participate in the extra-curricular activities that the College provides.

Recently students com-peted during their lunch breaks in the Great Rock Wall Climbing Challenge. The challenge is de-signed to earn points for Sport House teams while providing the students with new experiences designed to teach them endurance and determi-nation.

This is a competition that is sure to take them to new heights!

Staff and fellow students were there to support and encourage all who took up the Challenge.

Bound for Belgium

A group of local Maryborough people has started campaigning for a fl ood-free city heart.

The group, which includes Andrew from Al-likats on Kent and Stacy from Cafe Eliza’s in Adelaide Street, is calling for support for their levee bank project.

A meeting was held on May 6 to start plan-ning their campaign - ‘Restore the Heart of Maryborough’.

Group spokesman John Horrex said Mary-borough had endured continuing and often massive losses in terms of property dam-age, impacts on invest-ment, health and land values for too long.

“The rebuilding, restoration and clean-up stresses on volunteer groups, emergency services and council, with associated busi-nesses losses and social dislocation will certainly continue if nothing is done,’’ Mr Horrex said.

Anyone who wants to support the group can contact Mr Horrex on 0409 351 414.

The next meeting is planned for 6pm on June 3 at Allikats on Kent.

The council levee stands fi rm as rising waters creep into the Marybor-ough CBD during Janu-ary’s fl ood. A group of lo-cals is now campaigning for even more protection for the city.

Group wants to ‘Restore the Heart of Maryborough’

Get crazy and shine at Whale Festival

Now is the time to start planning your entry so it can shine and sparkle at this year’s Il-lumination Parade – a highlight of the annual Hervey Bay Whale Festival.

The theme of this year’s parade to be held on Saturday, August 17, is Protecting Ocea-nia; protecting our oceans is important for all marine life who call the bay home.

As usual the focus is on illumination, Fraser Coast Sport, Recreation, Open Space and Events Portfolio Councillor Darren Everard said.

Floats do not need to be part of a vehicle or trailer to enter.

“As long as you are illuminated and work to the theme of Protecting Oceania, you can dance, walk, skip, cycle, trumpet, juggle or cheer your way along the Esplanade as part of the parade,” he said.

Don’t forget to build in the WOW factor with colourful, amazing or crazy creations.

“There is great prize money up for grabs, including $600 for the most eco-friendly entry, as well as for community groups and schools, so it’s time to get creative.”

Nominations close on Tuesday, July 2. Entry Forms and additional information

about participation can be found on the web-site www.herveybaywhalefestival.com.au.

On April 19, a graduation and certifi cate awards pre-sentation for 12 students from the Indigenous Training and Employment Program (IEP) was held at Fraser Coast TESS Trade Skills Centre in Maryborough. Nine of the stu-dents achieved a Certifi cate II in Engineering and 3 achieved Statements of Attainment.

This was the fi nal of three programs funded by Depart-ment of Education, Employ-ment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) and contracted to Fraser Coast TESS by (The Australian Industry Engineer-ing and Manufacturing Net-work (AIEMnet). The programs were designed to give each student the opportunity of Certifi cate II level industry standard engineering skills and knowledge, incorporating Lan-guage, Literacy & Numeracy

development and job prepara-tion and mentoring support.

Training and Development Manager and co-ordinator of the programs, Mrs Gail En-dres said: “Lewis Blair was awarded the Fraser Coast TESS Achievement Award for his dedication, attendance and overall achievement within the program. Lewis attended 100% of the time.

“Jack Barton was awarded the Vocational Student of the Year Award, and Marshall Wil-liams achieved the Encourage-ment Award.

“These three students would all be worthy of employment and I would be interested in assisting the students to gain employment if there are manufacturing and engineer-ing employers who would like to contact me regarding any of

the students and the program,” Gail said.

“All the students achieved to their level of skills, and as always, a big thanks to AIMnet for their support and to Dave Sanders, engineering trainer with Fraser Coast TESS.’’

Since January 2012, there have been 49 Aboriginal and

Torres Strait Islander students enrolled, with a total of 29 students achieving a Certifi -cate II in Engineering and 10 students receiving Statements of Attainment.

Visits to manufacturing and engineering workplaces gave the students the opportunity to speak with employers regard-

ing employment in these industries and the expectations that are required.

“Thank you once again to the management and staff of

Downer Engineering, Global Manufacturing Group, Vickers Aluminium and Dix Manufac-turing Group for your ongoing support of these programs.’’

The Stockland redevelopment is expected to gener-ate more than 250 local jobs during the 18-month construc-tion program and more than 600 new retail jobs by the time the redevelopment is completed towards the end of 2014.

Positive attraction: Another boost for the Fraser Coast with the Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia Anniversary Rally at the Maryborough Showgrounds. The gathering, which was held from April 29 to May 5, provided a spectacular sight and injected

more than $2 million into the local economy.


Just over 12 months ago we were all elected to the council and during the cam-paign I ran on a commonsense platform.

I also pushed the need for council to be business friendly to entice out of town and locals to invest in the region.

I still believe in these principles although I am frustrated at times with how council operates - it seems at times that there are too many roadblocks in place and this drives people away.

The town plan was a good example of this.

When elected I was given the portfolio of Primary Production and Rural Infrastructure. Given my back ground (dairy farming) this suited me right down to the ground.

I believe primary production is one of the most important parts of this local economy and we as

a council must do all we can to engage the primary producers and help them out.

To enable this I have put together a list of rural roads that feed the rural sector. For example, ones that are essential for the cane industry, the cattle industry, and the timber industry. I have prioritised these to

be bought up to a standard that is conducive for farmers to be suc-cessful.

I have also been working with Tiaro Landcare and the Tiaro Chamber of Commerce to help them put together their sustain-able farming day.

I have been SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING Hugh Lovel to be the key note speaker at the event. This fellow is one of the most sought after speakers in the

world and will give farmers a lot of info to help them be profi table.

Divisionally I am always on the go as my division is almost half of the Fraser Coast.

I have many groups and heaps of issues - most of the complaints that come out of the division are infrastructure related (roads and drainage as well as noxious weeds).

I struggle to come to terms with how council runs compared to private enterprise and I get frustrated coming from that com-monsense background at a lot of things.

We must make sure that all money is not wasted and I believe essential infrastruc-ture must be rolled out fi rst before pie in the sky things.

Council needs to concentrate on core council business and this is what I will continue to push for.

One of the most worrying things in the

region is the decline of the Maryborough CBD.

We as a council must do all we can to make sure this area is bought back to its former glory.

The fl oods of January were one of the biggest disasters the region has ever faced and it was good to see community spirit alive and well, and I must say all the coun-cillors went beyond the call of duty to help their constituents and communities out.

I look forward to the next 12 months and the remainder of the term and will continue to fi ght for commonsense and my division and the region.

I will not be backward in coming forward when I have a different point of view to the rest of council. I am confi dent that I can make a difference and look forward to the challenge.

operates - it seems at times that there

The fi rst thing I realised in these fi rst twelve months, was the vast number of wonderful community organisations in my division.

I like to refer to the many communities as suburbs of the greater Fraser Coast region. Just in my division-there are a lot.

There is Tinana, Bidwill, Magnolia, Ted-dington, Maaroom, Boonooroo, Poona, Tuan, Tinnanbar, Glenwood, Bauple, Forest View, Tiaro, Aramara, Brooweena, Gundiah, Boompa Malarga, Owanyilla, Ferney, Teebar, Munna Creek, Tuan, Tale-galla Weir, Antigua and St Mary.

Of course I had travelled to almost every part of my Div 2 but probably didn’t appreciate the diversity.

In these 12 months I looked after the Waterways Portfolio which has resulted in a few signifi -cant changes, like the foreshore enhancement and improvements to the river views at Portside Ma-ryborough.

Several people have comment-ed “fi nally I can see the Ocean” and “now I feel a bit safer on my morning walks along the boardwalks along

the beautiful Mary”.

Several meetings with DERM (now called DH&E) have put in motion some exciting new initia-tives still to come, like clearing & pruning of vegetation near the Mary River plus planting of more appropriate grasses to assist in the prevention of erosion plus natural fi ltering of water run- off.

For too long people have been intrigued as to why two of the big-gest assets on our Fraser Coast

have been hidden.

On the 1st May this year I was appoint-ed the Culture & Performing Arts portfolio and now face the start of a 3-year plan to highlight the wonderful local performers and artists, as well as encourage all types of talent from all sectors to come to the Fraser Coast so as to increase the enjoy-ment of our community while at the same time providing local business a benefi t from more & more visitors.

It is a pleasure to be serving the commu-nity in this role.

I am thoroughly enjoying my time work-ing with 10 other talented guys on this wonderful new Council.

Phil TruscottWaterways and

Coastal Infrastructure

Having just completed the fi rst year of being on council I can say this job has been a huge challenge .

We councillors were basically all new to the job and we all have had a steep learn-ing curve .

One councillor aptly described early on that the council was like the Queen Mary, heading in a direction and we had all been put in the bottom of the ship with the lights turned off.

Well I can assure readers after a year my colleagues and I are on the top deck now and seeing where we are going.

The frustrations are enormous and the demands are never ending. The challenge to improve effi ciencies and attitude within council continue.

The established culture of previous

councils and the amal-gamation of councils has not gone well to effect a change culture easily.

This region has turned away at least a billion dollars worth of investment in the last 8 years and it is my personal goal to make sure that the message to the busi-ness community is that we are open for business.

I do recognize that Staff are the great-est a business has and I suggest that Staff that are not on that same wavelength and do not want improvement better leave now. Staff must be responsible and accountable.

The foreshore clean up and our stand against the Green Movement was a huge achievement and should not be under esti-mated. The Bay certainly looks more loved and it has given the business hope.

I am a realist and know that the fl oods in

Maryborough including the broken gas pipe line and its effect on busi-ness is still effecting our economy here on The Fraser Coast.

Tourism is a battle zone and we are fi ghting to get our fair share.

The Mining Industry has peaked, house prices and construction ac-tivity are fl at and we need a change in Government in Canberra that will support the Australian Manufactur-ing and Primary Industries.

State Government is having a real go and we have a great local member in Anne Maddern .

As we councillors now take more control and authority over the workings of council and begin to make policy and set direction i believe we will make a signifi cant differ-ence.

I take this job very seriously and I am particularly looking forward to raising the profi le and effect of Fraser Coast Opportu-nities. There are many ideas and opportunities out there that we need to encourage.

There are many young ones with bright ideas and no money and plenty of oldies just sitting on their money.

Plenty of Golden Gurus with experience and networks who can help.

If you have an idea for the good of this region, ring me .

And a word of advice for all, less time on Facebook and more time in face-to- face communication .

Watch this space.

Chris Loft Small Business, Manufacturing & Service Industry

This has been a tough year for the Maryborough business community and the broader community.

The January fl oods were devastating, but together as a community we pulled together and I believe we are stronger and more resilient as a result.

I believe we can look to the future with confi dence.

The Ulysses event showed what we are capable of and the value to our economy of being the friendly, welcoming and vibrant town we are.

There is a lot of excitement about the Imagine This City process.

This is a visioning campaign where community members can have their say on what they would like to see in the CBD to improve their community, their quality of life, their employment and business opportunities, facilities, and the environment.

Maryborough’s potential is limited only by our imagination.

It’s one of the oldest towns in Australia and it has a history we can be proud as well as a future we can look forward to.

There can be no doubt that there is a renewed confi dence in the region, showed

by develop-ment applications for projects such as the Station Square expansion.

But, it is not just the big ticket items; we are looking at ways of ensuring that the beautiful his-toric buildings are kept neat and tidy and to ensure that our parks continue to be fun places for families to spend time together, to name a couple of examples.

Walking around the CBD you will see the Maryborough City

Heart message; on shop fronts, directories, parking signs, stickers and T-shirts. This is about pride in our beautiful community.

New garden beds are bringing inner city areas to life with colourful fl owers and plants and overhanging branches and dangerous trees have been removed in a number of commercial and residential areas.

We want this to be a region where busi-nesses and families fl ourish.

A place where people look around and know they would not want to be anywhere else.

Here on the Fraser Coast we are blessed with a peaceful lifestyle and so many opportunities.

The Council is committed to preserving this lifestyle whilst expanding the opportu-nities for the families that call it home.

Daniel SandersonCity & TownDevelopment

It has been 12 months now since the council elec-tion - however, it only seems to be the other day that we came together for our fi rst meeting.

The last 12 months have been a steep learning curve for all of us but one thing we didn’t lack is the passion and

enthusiasm for the

advancement of the Fraser Coast community.

Personally, One of the largest divisions in our region has presented numerous challengers to me.

Apart from achieving infrastructure objectives and community enhancement, the recent weather events were the most challenging and confronting with fl ooding at Pacifi c Haven, Toogoom & Craignish.

The Community of Burrum Heads expe-rienced devastation that is hard to defi ne in words alone.

We were very fortunate, considering the

devastation at Burrum Heads, that fatalities did not occur.

The inspirational Burrum Heads commu-nity response is something we should all be very proud of. Their ability to respond to such a disaster is a graphic description of the Australian spirit.

The last 12 months has taught me that we have a massive regional area with a very low ratio of population to geographical size.

We also have a huge responsibility.Unlike many other councils, we have in

our region 2 airports, 2 CBDs, 114km of coastline, numerous parks and gardens,

and thousands of kilometres of roads.Unlike other layers of government we

have only one mechanism for income (rates) and considering local government in Australia only collects 4% of all taxes this leaves all local governments’ enor-mous pressures to provide a balance be-tween the rates collected and the quantity and quality of the services that the public expects.

Now with 12 months gone I would hope the community has seen a council that wants to make a difference, to encourage business, community and to take this re-gion to the potential that we are capable of.

DIVISION 9

Just over a year ago the eleven of us were elected.

Since that time none of us have lost our passion for the region and our enthusiasm to see it prosper.

Whilst we are all working for the better-ment of the region, through the portfolio system we are able to each focus on specifi c areas.

One of the areas I have been particularly engaged in is heritage. The region, and Maryborough in particular, has great poten-tial for heritage tourism.

As a member of the Queensland Heri-tage Council, I see a lot of old buildings, bridges and archaeological sites around the State. However, I don’t believe there

is any other area that can boast of the concentration of highly signifi cant buildings that Maryborough has.

At the intersection of Wharf and Richmond streets all four corners feature a building which is listed on the State Heritage Register.

We should be able to capitalise better on this asset; the Portside precinct can be a key tourism drawcard.Of the 754,000 visitors to the region in 2011/12, about 6000 visited the pre-cinct. We can do better.

By integrating the Customs House Interpretive Centre, Bond Store Mu-seum and Maryborough Military and Colo-

nial Museum together we can create something that will give people a reason to visit which will improve

business viability for the precinct and the city.

It will be marketed as the Portside Heritage Gateway and the admission price will include entrance into these venues as well as access to visitor services, tours, dem-onstrations, and retail and dining experiences.

An important component of this has been put in place with the return of a great dining experience in the stun-

ning Port Residence building, with Muddy Waters moving in.Last month the State Minister for Environ-ment and Heritage Protection visited the Port Residence to launch this year’s pro-gram for Maryborough Open House.

This event will be held on Saturday, 26 October.

We will have many important heritage buildings open to the public, talks by experts and an archaeological dig that members of the public can watch and participate in.

Last year thousands of people took part. I am confi dent that this annual event can help generate interest and bring visi-tors to town year round.

DIVISION 10

We have just celebrated our 1st an-niversary so to speak.

Personally it has been a true chal-lenge to adjust from the world of small business to the structure of a Regional Council and this is what I would call a personal challenge.

I like most of my Council colleagues have hit the ground running and in my case am trying to deliver outcome that will benefi t the community.

In my case I would hope the efforts I am putting in within my portfolio will assist in keeping important dollars fl owing through the tills of all local businesses as well as assist in growing community spirit.

This year the Fraser Coast has been lucky enough to have seen a number of

major events that have seem many thou-sands of visitors enjoy what the Fraser Coast has had to offer.

Many of these events have been the result of hard work done by the last Fraser Coast Council and a number of com-munity groups. I have been privileged to be involved via my portfolio to be involved in these events.

Personally I would like to say a thank-you to our community for welcoming our visitors and showing these people the respect we all expect when we go on holiday in a new area.

The feedback that I have received as a Councillor has been outstanding and our whole community needs to be thanked.

To our volunteers - thank you for your efforts at all our events and a very special mention to those who assisted in the rain at the recent Junior Surf Lifesaving Tiles. As a member of the Hervey Bay Surf Lifesaving Club it was so pleasing to see members of our community offer these assistance and help us run this major event.

As a member of the Fraser Coast Regional Council I was humbled to work side by side with these good people to deliver a lasting impression to our visitors.

I do see that the Event area of my

portfolio as a key ingredient to the future of our region and I will be working to enhance existing events as well as work with groups that are keen to visit the Fraser Coast. For this to happen we will need community support and I hope that we are able to grow this vital ingredient.

As I have said Council is work in prog-ress for any new Councillor and I do see it as a work in progress as if it was that easy everybody would be doing it. Our region has its own very special set of needs, that in many cases are not that different to other regions, the best way to deliver the required outcome is to work as a united force and this is what I will ask of our com-munity work with us to make our commu-nity stronger.

DIVISION 7

For me, the position of councillor has three aspects - the division, the portfolio, and the process of government.

The challenge is getting the balance right in terms of time spent on each, and nobody is about to tell me the magic formula so I will let readers make up their own minds.

The Division:

We were all elected as divisional councillors by approximately 6700 voters and it is those same 6700 people we will have to face in three years time so serving their needs and addressing their concerns is the highest priority for me.

I maintain a routine of Community Chats every six weeks in various locations throughout the

division and advertise these in the local paper and on the Council website.

Of the many issues that have been raised by constituents, top of the list by a long margin is drainage. Situations where overland fl ow paths have been altered or blocked by gardens,

swimming pools, fences, or driveways caused issues with local fl ooding during our recent wet season.

Many of Council’s drainage corridors proved inadequate during peak

times due to vegetation or siltation.The Portfolio:

My area of responsibility is infrastructure delivery and maintenance. Roads, footpaths, bridges, cycleways all fall within this category.

It is in the areas of prioritising and customer impact that I feel most useful.

It is a challenge to spend the available dollars effi ciently with so many competing justifi able needs.

The recent wild weather has played havoc with maintenance schedules across the region.

We were successful in securing a multi million dollar grant from the federal

government to construct the “missing links” in Hervey Bay’s road network. This is providing a much needed boost to the local economy.Governance:

Our fortnightly meetings, and many others as necessary, are used to review council policy and to set new directions in relation to fi nancial, procedural, or planning matters.

It is in these meetings that topics such as rates and charges are discussed and decided.

Overall, I must say I am honoured to represent my division and that I enjoy working with my colleagues, our Mayor, and the CEO to deliver effective and effi cient governance for the Fraser Coast .

DIVISION 6

It is with great honour that we celebrate our fi rst year as a new Council.

For me, it has been an amazing journey, meeting so many fantastic people, assist-ing with dealing with resident’s concerns, hearing inspiring ideas, witnessing the great work of Council staff and volunteers across a vast array of activities.

It’s been a huge learning curve, fi nding out that Council is much more than just roads, rates and rubbish.

We are called upon to do so much, with a very tight budget.

That juggling act of trying to support people and places, with the most need, is a daily challenge.

On a personal note, I have relished working in my portfolio of Health, Educa-tion and Training, as it has allowed me to develop programs and positive partner-ships with Council offi cers, business and community organisations.

The three main ones so far are: “Lets Get Fraser Coast Working” - designed to give 60 participants, structured work experience with Council; “Animal Management Working Group” - designed to facilitate and improve community-wide support for better animal management; “Fraser Coast Careers and Jobs Expo” - designed to give our senior

school students a look into their future and promotion of local job op-portunities.

I look forward to helping drive these initiatives over the next year to achieve milestones that we can all share and be proud of.

Thank you to everyone that has given me so much inspiration and I look forward to our next year together, as we all strive to make the Fraser

Coast shine even brighter.

This April has proven a huge success for the team at Bay Fusion Food Design. After a successful week of catering at the 2013 Ulysses AGM, over 3000 meals were provided to the motorcycle enthusiasts.

Our team was catering breakfast, lunch and dinner in the restaurant, while also host-ing a coffee and fast food stall for the duration of the week. These two stalls were also held in conjunction with the Bayside Transformations wrap stall, which also had huge suc-cess. All feedback received is boasting compliments, con-gratulations and thanks from our valued clientele.

The Bay Fusion team has also welcomed the addition of two new apprentices to complete a Certifi cate III in Commercial Cookery. A further four trainees are also be-ing welcomed to the Bayside Transformations Project.

Following such success with both catering and training, we have also completed an Intro-duction to Hospitality course to commence on May 27.

Successful completion of

these courses in the fi rst of-fering has resulted in secured employment.

We also have 4 VET appren-ticeships in Commercial Cook-ery available, with a further 3 places in Certifi cate II in Food Processing available for DES clients.

The Introduction to Hospi-tality course conducted over a 6 week period has thus far reported a 100% success rate, with 2 courses and a total of 10 clients having been suc-cessfully placed into employ-ment or training environments.

We look forward to expand-ing and working with the local community to develop and uphold what is sure to be a successful year for the Fraser Coast.

Bayside Transformations and Bay Fusion Food Design have offi cially kicked off on the veg-etable production kitchen and is now fully operational.

A number of local business-es have already shown their support of the local community through the utilization locally sourced vegetables in a fully operational business plan.

The latest graduates from the Hard Yakka course conducted by Bob Davis at Susan River. The course was over 18 days and was conducted at Susan River and Biggenden. Participants in-cluded one from Western Australia, one from Victoria, two from New South Wales and the rest were Queenslanders. Hard Yakka has another course starting on May 17.

Bay Fusion Food Design proprietor Russell Czinege and his train-ees are excited about their successes.

Sunday, May 6, was a special treat for the senior Aerospace Studies students from Mary-borough SHS as they had the opportunity to go gliding.

The nine students and three parents took the sky for a 30-minute joy fl ight thanks to the Gympie Gliding Club.

The students learnt the work-ings of a glider and experience the exhilaration of a winch launch to 2000 feet in height in 20 sec-onds on a 450 angle.

The students were able to be hands-on, learnt how to turn and how to work the control services.

“The weather was kind and good thermals were available so the students could stay in the air for a great joy fl ight. Many stu-dents commented that the view

was amazing and the take-off was like a rollercoaster ride” said the Aerospace teacher, Mark Heinrich.

The students loved the experi-ence and they were able to see what they learnt in the classroom in action through this gliding experience.

For many it was the fi rst time to fl y in a small aircraft and they all said they keen to go fl ying again.

Classroom with a view

The Fraser Coast Anglican College offers a vibrant and in-spiring Music Program, and our Suzuki Method Violin Students and Teachers are a shining example of this.

“It is with pleasure that we welcome back FCAC Tutors Alinda Kleinschmidt (Violin) and Monique Brown (Flute) and students Claire Norton (Y12), Kar-leigh Judge (Y11), Olivia Robbins (Y11), and Avalon Brown (Y8) from their trip to the 16th Suzuki Method World Con-vention in Japan .” said FCAC Principal Mrs Leisa Harper.

The fi ve- day program from March 27 to March 31 provided an intensive international musi-cal experience for students, siblings, teachers and parents following the Suzuki method. The convention had over 5,400 participants attend from 35 countries.

The Suzuki Method of music education is a worldwide edu-cation method in music tuition that was fi rst developed by Dr Shinichi Suzuki, in Matsumoto

Japan in 1898. The Suzuki method encompasses the principals of early childhood education and combines music teaching with a philosophy that also embraces the total devel-opment of the child.

“Three of the students who travelled to Japan began learning violin from Mrs Klein-

schmidt in lower primary school with the fourth student beginning at the age of 4 years.” said Mrs Janelle Ivers, Direc-tor of Visual and Performing Arts.

“The students have dedicat-ed themselves to many hours of practice to enable them to attend the conference.”

Most of these students were previously successful in being accepted into the 2012 State Honours Ensemble Program at Queensland Conservatorium of Music, Griffi th University, which has assisted them in reaching their goals.

Mrs Harper added “I look for-ward to catching up with each of them and hearing about their experiences.”

New name

The Queensland Baptist Care which governs Glendyne Education and Training Centre in Hervey Bay offi cially changed its name to Carinity on 6th May, to refl ect its diverse range of services and expand-ing geographical presence throughout Queensland.

The independent secondary school for disengaged youth will now be known as Carinity Education – Glendyne, but will continue to provide a second chance for young people who have struggled in mainstream school-ing.

This rebrand is a major step forward for the organisa-tion, which began in 1949 solely as an aged care pro-vider and now offers a comprehensive range of community services throughout Queensland, in-cluding Aged Care, Lifestyle (retirement living), Education, Communities and Youth.

CEO Jon Campbell said the word ‘Carin-ity’ is derived from ‘care’ and ‘affi nity’ and represents what the organisation strives to provide to its clients every day - care and a sense of belonging.

Business Festival in July

A celebration of busi-ness is being planned by Fraser Coast Opportuni-ties in July.

Fraser Coast Op-portunities is the new entity formed to promote economic development, investment opportuni-ties, events and tourism across the Fraser Coast.

“To celebrate the forma-tion of the new Fraser Coast Opportunities Ltd we want to showcase all Fraser Coast businesses in July,” Fraser Coast Mayor Gerard O’Connell said.

“We would like busi-nesses to throw open their doors to conduct short tours, put on a work-shop, host a networking event or showcase them-selves in some way.

“The idea is to bring the long established busi-nesses together with the many new businesses that have set up on the Fraser Coast.

“An accounting busi-ness could undertake a workshop on fi nance planning or a job agency could conduct a workshop on recruitment and retain-ing staff or a telecommu-nications store could give an overview of the latest business products that increase productivity.’’

Businesses interested can register with Fraser Coast Regional Council’s Economic Development Offi cer Kellie McElligott on 1300 79 49 29.

Aldridge State High School has won this year’s USQ Fraser Coast Science and Engineering Challenge regional title for the second consecutive year.

The team of Years 9 and 10 students clocked up 1164 points throughout the day to edge out Xavier Catholic Col-lege (1083) and Fraser Coast Anglican College (942) for the chance to compete at the Super Challenge Series in Townsville later this year.

Aldridge’s head of Science Department Iain Carson said he was thrilled this year’s students had continued the school’s winning streak of three out of four years (2010, 2012 and 2013).

In the bridge-building section, Aldridge State High School team of Natasha Don-nelly, Jessica Karrasch and Rahni Smoother took out fi rst place, narrowly beating the efforts of the community team – USQ Fraser Coast’s cam-

pus executive manager Brett Langabeer, Robert MacGib-bon from Engineers Australia, Fraser Coast Mayor Gerard O’Connell and Rotary ex-change student Emma Han-sen from Denmark – whose bridge would have won had it been just four grams lighter.

USQ Fraser Coast event co-ordinator Stephanie Bay-ley said “This year’s regional challenge was a fantastic event. It was great to get feedback from volunteers that our students were enthusi-astic and focused on their tasks.”

The day started early with volunteers from the combined Rotary clubs of Hervey Bay helping USQ Fraser Coast and University of Newcastle staff to set up. At 9.30am everything was ready for the students to arrive.

Mr Langabeer and Ms Bay-ley thanked all those involved in the challenge, in particular

the University of Newcastle and the combined Rotary Clubs of Hervey Bay.

The challenge is recog-nized, both at home and abroad, as an innovative way of raising young people’s awareness of the career opportunities in science and engineering. In 2003 the

challenge was awarded The Sir William Hudson Award for Engineering Excellence and it has since been recognised by the International Institute of Physics based in London.

Aldridge State High School has secured a prestigious prize indeed.

This Inspiring Australia

initiative is supported by the Australian Government through the Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Educa-tion and supported locally by Engineers Australia, Tony McVey Pty Ltd, Wide Bay Water, Fraser Coast Regional Council, and Opus.

Hervey Bay State High School has enjoyed a week of culture and diversity in nature.

On the Thursday the Ag-riculture and Environmental Centre (AEC) held its annual environmental showcase, followed by an evening of arts and music to raise funds for the fl ood benefi t.

By day, students were ex-posed to a variety of displays including freshwater fi sh by Barb Hayes and ma-rine

turtles with Lesley Bradley, both members of the Lower Mary River Landcare Group. Interactive displays such as determining water qual-ity through identifi cation of macro-invertebrates, native tree propagation and testing soil pH.

Students learnt about the use of animals and plants to mimic nature and create an ecosystem within a farming

situation. This initiative has been supported by fund-ing received from Staples Go Green junior landcare

grants last year.

In the eve-ning the school community banded togeth-er with a fl ood relief concert which raised over $1000 to support communities affected by re-cent fl ooding.

Many staff and students supported this event through dance, drama and singing. It was a fantastic evening showcasing the excellent talent we have at Hervey Bay State High School.

This event was spon-sored by Autobarn, and we would like to thank them for their kind contri-butions.
