From Vol. 49 No. 7 which will be published on the 28th June, Time Off mil increase in price from 60 cents to 80 cents, but will at the same time contain more pages and a new editorial approach. The new monthly will be concentrating on in depth examinations of major issues affecting us all. However in doing so the magazine will not forego the important role it plays in publishing incisive and independently minded reviews of the South East Queensland cultural scene. You will find not only more high quality reviews of what is happening in film, music, theatre etc. but also first hand accounts of any new local developments in these areas. The longer time gap between issues wOl provide more opportunity for research and reflection. Consequently all readers will benefit from the outcome. We will be carrying extra pages of new cartoons by Matt Mawson and Tim Low, as well as drawings by Wendy Cernak and photographs by Nick Udovic. Don*t be surprised if one day you find a Time 0/jf journalist asking you to put forward (for publication) your own intuitive feelings about the major concerns in your life. Time Off is not a profit motivated, commercial enterprise — instead we are a genuine community magazine seeking to explore with you the most fundamental issues affecting our lives. We try to avoid shallow analysis of state political issues in order to allow a deeper understanding of the available social options to develop. If for example we feel that the Labor Party is failing to tackle this state's problems any more effectively than the Bjelke-Petersen Government then we are not frightened to constructively point out why this is so. (See report page 9 ). But just as we try to^act on your behalf in responsibly reporting the news, all readers of Time Off who appreciate such effort must help maintain our viability by encouraging others who have not yet heard of Time Off to take up a copy and discover what it does offer. Publishing an independently-minded magazine or newspaper is a difficult and often demanding task. We do not possess the extensive resources and staff available to corporation owned newspapers such as the Courier Mail or the National Times^ so we totally rely on your support and goodwill. This is what community media is about. Give us more feedback on what you find of value in any articles we run. And naturally give us your constructive criticisms of what you think the magazine is lacking. In the process of promoting social alternatives, Time Off becomes on^ itself, but as with any alternative we are only of lasting value if what we offer reaches and is understood by not just the "initiated" but the uninitiated as well.

Before starting, I want to say I was really fortunate to be able to work with Philip on this book. [Jeff Apter holds up a coffee table book] [JEFF APTER] And it was one of the more interesting exercises, wasn't it? Because we were given a directive to come up with... Was it 200 photos? ..for this book. [PHILIP MORRIS] That's right. [JEFF APTER] And Philip's archive is so fantastic and so rich, that I think we got it down to, what, 600? [PHILIP MORRIS] Yeah. [Audience laughs] [JEFF APTER] Was it 600 to start with? It was something like that. And it's staggering, really. It's a really great document of Australian rock history at a really interesting turning point. So to get it down to this... It's begging for a second edition, by the way. There's so many great photos. So it was a real honour to be able to... to do that. It was a lot of fun. [PHILIP MORRIS] Yeah, it was. [JEFF APTER] We actually had built into our contract... Our agreement was an understanding that we would never work in a boring situation.

  • “Paul Robert Burton Band”
    “PAUL ROBERT BURTON BAND” The “Paul Robert Burton Band” is a musical collaboration, presenting to the public an expanding ensemble of world-class virtuoso musicians from an infinitely wide variety of musical styles and genres. Every player is unique, however they all have something very much in common, commitment and dedication to the Arts. Music can transport the soul to higher realms and these musicians together invoke that feeling. “ We can easily say that Paul Robert Burton and his band were the standout act at this year’s Kiama Jazz & Blues Festival. Where ever he played and in whatever venue (café, outdoor concert, club) or line up (from solo to full on band) the crowds were huge, bopping and excited. Venues were full to capacity and then some! During a sidewalk café appearance, the crowds spilled onto the street & stopped traffic! Apart from his musical gifts, Paul was appreciated by festival management as a source of information regarding other artists, and brought great energy, inspiration and spirit to our Festival. People raved for weeks afterwards, and purchased Paul’s CD’s aplenty, and we have had considerable requests since the festival as to where & when Paul might play again. ” Ross Eggleton, Festival Director Eevi Stein, Festival Coordinator & Publicity Kiama Jazz & Blues Festival April 1- 3 2011 PAUL ROBERT BURTON (Songwriter, Producer, Sound Engineer, Upright Bass, Foot Drums, Guitarlele, Harmonicas, Ocarinas and Vocals) www.paulrobertburton.com www.reverbnation.com/paulrobertburton www.youtube.com/paulrobertburton Paul Robert Burton is a Multi-tasking, Multi-instrumentalist, Singer, Songwriter, Producer and Sound Engineer. Beginning his career some 30 years ago as a session musician, Paul has performed with Elvis Presley’s drummer D J Fontana, James Brown’s drummer Toni Cooke and has an extensive list of musical associations with a veritable “who’s who” of the Australian Music Industry.

    31 May 2001 Legislative Assembly 1353 THURSDAY, 31 MAY 2001 Mr SPEAKER (Hon. R. K. Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. MINISTERIAL STATEMENT Human Cloning Hon. P. D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.31 a.m.), by leave: The Prime Minister has confirmed that human cloning will be on the agenda of the COAG meeting to be held on 8 June in Canberra. I table a copy of the communique from his office. Rapid developments in medical and reproductive technology have opened up the potential for experimental work that could lead to cloning of human beings. The creation of duplicate humans through cloning techniques is not supported by the Queensland government. Cloning of human beings is contrary to the Universal Declaration on the Human Genome and Human Rights. Australia is a signatory to the declaration, which states— Practices which are contrary to human dignity, such as reproductive cloning of human beings, shall not be permitted. As well as being contrary to human dignity, cloning is unsafe. The first mammal that was cloned in 1997, Dolly the sheep, was the source of considerable interest. What many were not aware of at that time was the number of failed attempts which preceded Dolly. There were more than 270 failed attempts at cloning in order to produce one cloned sheep. This is not something we can allow to occur with human beings. The World Health Organisation has also affirmed that 'cloning for the replication of individuals is ethically unacceptable and contrary to human dignity and integrity.

I hope that everyone had a safe, enjoyable and revitalising holiday and that those who were struck down by the nasty flu bug in Term 3 have been able to fully recuperate and are healthy and ready for what promises to be an exciting concluding term for 2014. At the end of last term we made a change to the staff carpark to allow for safer parking conditions. A big thank you to Peter Walker for organising the scraping and laying of gravel to complete the carpark. Be safe Recently we have made other improvements to the grounds and classrooms including adding fresh ‘softfall’ in the playground equipment area, laying down garden soil for the garden bed that borders the carpark, replacing the projector in the Library to upgrade the interactive whiteboard and we have engaged a contractor to install a new shade sail over the playground equipment. We also undertook an energy audit at the end of term and will be looking at the measures and strategies that we can put into place to reduce our electricity consumption and energy bills which will mean that funds can be diverted to support the learning of our students. Co-operate This Saturday, 11 October is the annual Vacy Charity Cutting Day, an event which contributes a significant amount towards the P&C and ultimately to the students of Vacy Public School.
