Councillors-elect Danita Potter and Kathy Duff are trying hard to brighten up our lives<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

April 2, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Feeling gloomy because of all the viral news? A couple of soon-to-be elected councillors want to do something about it!<\/p>\n

Councillors-elect Danita Potter and Kathy Duff have good reasons to smile themselves – they are both way ahead in the official voting numbers – but they are also worried that many South Burnett residents aren’t smiling at the moment.<\/p>\n

All the news about COVID-19 and the restraints that have kept residents at home are testing people and fraying nerves.<\/p>\n

So the pair have come up with a colourful idea.<\/p>\n

Remember Pinking Up The South Burnett last year which raised awareness about breast cancer?<\/p>\n

That was Cr Potter and Cr Duff’s initiative. Now they want the South Burnett to turn yellow … to spread “a ray of sunshine” throughout the region.<\/p>\n

Cr Duff said yellow represented “happiness, hope and sunshine”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We want people and businesses to come on board with it, like they did with Pinking Up The South Burnett,” Cr Duff said.<\/p>\n

“They can wear yellow, decorate their houses – inside and out – and shop windows.”<\/p>\n

The pair thought it might also be a good way to keep children bored at home busy.<\/p>\n

They could do drawings, colour-ins, paintings, take photographs …<\/p>\n

A Facebook page, “Ray Of Sunshine South Burnett<\/a><\/strong>“, has been set up where people can upload photos of their yellow things.<\/p>\n

“We want to put some smiles back on to people’s faces,” Cr Duff said.<\/p>\n

Cr Duff is better known for her love of pink, but she has added a touch of yellow for the campaign.<\/p>\n

Yellow, however, comes naturally to Cr Potter … it’s her favourite colour and she already has a wardrobe of clothes in the right hue.<\/p>\n

On a more serious note, Cr Duff pointed out that next Friday (April 10) is Good Friday and with all the talk of COVID-19, it could pass almost unnoticed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Barambah Ministers Association will be hosting an online community prayer session this Sunday (Palm Sunday) from 4:00pm on The Martoo Review.<\/p>\n

Music will be provided by Bridget O’Shannessy.<\/p>\n

Then on Good Friday itself, the Barambah Ministers Association is urging Christians to make a cross to place outside their houses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
