BOX 174, HOWARD, QLD. 4659 President: 41294711 Email: [email protected] Secretary: 41290422 At the Annual General Meeting held on 30th November, the decision was made that we have no alternative but to consider disbanding the Chamber of Commerce due to lack of members and lack of interest from the businesses of the Burrum District.

It is with great regret that this decision was made. However following on from that a Special General Meeting will be held on Monday 6thth March 2017 at the Burrum Respite Centre, Steley Street Howard

to resolve officially to close the Burrum Chamber of Commerce and determine how to distribute any financial monies being held by the Chamber of Commerce.

This will be the last chance to reverse the decision, so if you are interested, please attend.

If you would like any more information or indeed to volunteer to help keep the Chamber viable please contact either Carol or Rhonda on the above telephone numbers or by mail to the above address.

……………………………………………………………………..……………………………………………

‘Do No Harm’ - from Our Daily Bread. Many consider the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates as the father of Western medicine. He understood the importance of following moral principles in the practice of medicine, and is credited with writing the Hippocratic Oath, which still serves as an ethical guide for today’s medical doctors. One key concept of the oath is “to do no harm.” It implies that a physician will do only what he thinks will benefit his patients. The principle of doing no harm extends to our relationships with others in everyday life. In fact, benevolence is central to New Testament teaching about loving others. In reflecting on the law of God, Paul sees that love is the intent behind many biblical commands: “Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law” (Rom. 13:10). Each day as we follow Jesus Christ our Savior, we are faced with choices that will affect the lives of others. When we choose a course of action, we should ask ourselves, “Does this reflect Christ’s concern for others, or am I only concerned for myself?” Such a sensitivity demonstrates the love of Christ that seeks to heal the broken and help those in need.

Lord, I admit that it is easy to be consumed with my own wants and needs. Thank You that You showed us how to be concerned for others too. Help me to follow Your example in caring for others.

Caring for the burdens of others helps us to forget about our own.

Page 20 - Howard & District Progress Association Inc March 2017 AROUNDAROUND THETHE RIDGESRIDGES Identity Crisis for Torbanlea It appears the good folk of Torbanlea have a bit of an identity crisis going on. One reader complains that he doesn’t know whether he lives in Robertson ROAD or Robertson STREET. Both appear on maps and council info. Despite attempts to find the correct name the confusion continues. But it gets worse! The Hall in Robertson STREET/ROAD (take your pick) is variously known as: the Community Hall, the Progress Hall and the Community Centre. When Progress took over the lease from council in 2013, they began calling it the Progress Hall. The front of the building says “Community Hall”. But the newly elected sigh adjacent to the building calls it a “Community Centre”. One Facebook reader was adamant that its correct title is “Community Hall”. So which is correct?

GARDEN & LAWN CARE How are you struggling with this hot weather? And how is your garden coping?. I am afraid mine YARD & GARDEN MAINTENANCE is “as dry as chips” A friend at Burrum Heads said DOMESTIC HOUSE CLEANING the other day that the only way to mow his lawn was to throw a match on it. GARDEN IRRIGATION However, hope springs eternal, as they say, and YARD CLEAN UPS the members of the Men’s Shed at Howard are to be congratulated for planting a garden of shrubs BOBCAT, KANGA & TIP TRUCK HIRE along the fence line on Steley Street entrance to POST HOLES Howard. More bromeliads to follow, I’m told. At its last Meeting, the Garden Club decided against FULLY INSURED holding an Autumn Garden Competition this year. As things are at the moment, it isn’t felt that many gardens (and gardeners!) can be at their best, so 0498-830-665 better luck next year. Of course, we intend to hold FREE QUOTES our Annual Spring Flower Show as usual in September. Our Schedule remains pretty constant [email protected] each year, so most people who normally enter, or ABN 42807434495 visit the Show, will know what Classes to expect. Roses, Cut Flowers, Potted Plants, Hanging Baskets, Orchids, Bromeliads and the Produce Section for fruits and vegies. Floral Art is the Section which is altered each year. So, we all have plenty of time to make preparations for that. And don’t forget it is a Show OPEN to exhibitors from anywhere, so Toogoom and Burrum Heads, do get involved this year! I have to apologise for the change of venue for last month’s meeting, a case of good intentions going awry. I had an unplanned trip to , (very warm!) so the meeting was held at the home of other members. Kaye and Rod and a very good attendance. The Guest Speaker gave lots of interesting info on Frogs. We have a couple of Guest Speakers lined up for future meetings. Seed saving is one subject and Weeds is another. (I could almost give a talk on Weeds and bring along a few samples, I think, but this lady will tell us how to control them.) Our Club’s A.G.M. (and ordinary meeting) will be held at the Community Centre, Howard 12.30pm on the SECOND WEDNESDAY OF MARCH - 8th. Membership fees for the coming Club year are due that day. And all Club positions will be open for Election.

Update regarding an extra police vehicle for the Howard Police Station

Congratulations to all the people of the Burrum District who provided support for the petition commenced by Faye Whiffin of the Community Centre, asking for a second vehicle for the Howard Police Station.

I have now tabled the petition in Parliament and am in discussion with the Minster for Police, Mark Ryan, in regard to how I fully support this requirement and the importance of this resource being available in the fastest growing area of the Maryborough Electorate.

March 2017 Burrum River News - Page 57 Approximately 300 people braved the very hot Australia Day event in Torbanlea and we thank you all very much. What a wonderful display set up by members of the local Art group and other supporters. Stall holders sold jewellery, pottery, sculptures, sewing, plants, aboriginal art, a variety of canvas art work including modern, still life etc., jewel trees, and floral art. The very energetic group also had lots of gum nut novelties featuring frilly lizards, kangaroos etc. The great Aussie spirit was evident everywhere you went. Fence Art lined the railway fence, Progress had a sausage sizzle going all afternoon as well as the very popular cold drinks, which were a real hit on such a hot day. There was live entertainment from a 2 piece busking group, plus Dudley Mason with his button accordion and Aussie poetry. A great addition to the program! Extra entertainment was provided by the teenagers using the Skate Park. They are very fortunate to have such a great facility so close to home. The stage at the Torbanlea Hall was set up with lots of Australian memorabilia – didgeridoos, boomerangs, gum trees, bath tubs, lanterns plus lots more wonderful items to bring back memories of the past. Afternoon teas were available with the popular lamingtons and pikelets. And….. To top this off, a very popular raffle where every ticket won a prize. All in all, it was a wonderful day socially and the group plans to do it again – but maybe in the cooler months.
