You are here: Home Facilities & Recreation Theatres & Galleries Perc Tucker Regional Gallery Venue Information
Perc Tucker Regional Gallery is located within one of Townsville's heritage buildings on the corner of Denham and Flinders Streets, in the city centre. The Gallery has a diverse program of local, national and international exhibitions. A public program including floor talks, lectures and performances complement these exhibitions.
Perc* Tucker Regional Gallery is named in honour of Alderman Perc Tucker, Mayor of Townsville from 1976 to 1980. The Gallery was officially opened by the Mayor of Townsville, Alderman M F Reynolds, on 25 September 1981.
The Gallery is housed in a historic building established by the Union Bank of Australia in 1885 as its northern headquarters. It was designed and built in 1885 by the then colonial architect F D G Stanley, whose niece, Gwendolyn, became a well-known artist in Brisbane in the first half of this century. Her first solo exhibition in Brisbane in 1906 featured works from her time in North Queensland. Later she married W G Grant whose watercolours of North Queensland are in the Perc Tucker Regional Gallery Collection.
The upper level of the building was added in the early 1930's and the building served the people of North Queensland as a bank for nearly a century. In 1951 the Union Bank amalgamated with the Bank of Australasia and the building became the main office of the Australia and New Zealand Bank. It subsequently became the regional Office of North Queensland for the ANZ Banking Group, following the merger with the English Scottish and Australian Bank in 1970 and 10 years later, the Bank of Adelaide.
The ANZ was the last commercial owner. In 1980 the Townsville City Council acquired and developed this heritage building as a public gallery at a cost of $650,000. The Queensland Government contributed a third of the development cost. The Gallery's operating costs are funded by the Townsville City Council.
* - As the name Perc is a shortened form of Percival, the correct pronunciation is 'Purse'.

Gangs experts in Hackney say academies are not engaging enough with troubled kids.
A report into the work of the borough's trailblazing Integrated Gangs Unit (IGU) to tackle youth violence found safeguarding interventions for students deemed at risk were met with "mixed responses" by schools.
At an evidence session conducted by the town hall's Living in Hackney Scrutiny Commission earlier this year, Steve Gowen of the IGU said there was sometimes a lack of acknowledgement of there being a gang issue despite – for example – 40 young people waiting outside a school for someone at the end of a day. He said there was "greatest concern" around the attitudes of academies.
Last week the Gazette revealed home schooling figures in Hackney had risen by 238pc, raising fears academies were "washing their hands" of difficult children in an illegal practice known as "off-rolling".
Damion Roberts, of the St Giles Trust's SOS Project, added that often, knife crime offences involving young people took place during school time but away from the school because the child had been excluded due to "over-punitive polices".
Of 51 school exclusions highlighted by the IGU, 36 of the students had gang connections. More than half of the excluded kids were black boys and more than 80 per cent had special educational needs.
The IGU and Hackney Learning Trust is now carrying out research into exclusions analysing data from 2017/18. It has already established that exclusions and poverty were found to be key risk indicators for gang involvement.
Kate Meyler, young people's advocate from charity Safer London, said kids can be excluded for something that happens outside of school, where the student had been deemed to have brought the school into disrepute.
The living in Hackney scrutiny commission suggested part of the work should look at whether or not the kids formed gang connections before or after their exclusion.
The Hackney Learning Trust is now revising its policies around exclusion with a greater focus on keeping kids in school.


The adaptable member. His ability to change his body into various elements and materials gives the team a power variety.
Speedster. It's true that speedsters are tricky buisness but Quicksilver isn't as fast as say the Flash or the Silver Surfer but is fast enough to be a useful addition to the team.
Marksman/Martial Artist. Also adds another human to a team of super powered individuals with a political conscience as well.
Powerhouse/Paragon/All rounder. This was another tricky one. Even though I prefer Superman, Thor or Captain Marvel to this guy, they are all too powerful and could arguably deal with threats faced by a team single handedly. As such I choose this guy due to him being powerful as he has gone toe to toe with the Sentry but he isn't as powerful as say Thor or Silver Surfer in the MU. As such he is probably the better choice of powerhouse for the team.
Blaster/Ranged attacker/Energy Projectionist. An underused heroine whose ranged powers are almost as formidable as her temper. As well as seeing the original lack of women on my team, I therefore decided to put her on the team.
Reserve Member. Shapeshifter with elastic abilities who is hardly used in comics at the moment when he was once a member of the JLA and counted among the greats like Superman and Batman.
Reserve Member. Another under used heroine whose totem based animal channeling powers add to the mix in this reserve member.
Reserve Member.A heroine with ghost like powers that provides something unique that is not present in the main team.
Reserve Member. The back up martial artist/leader should Batman not be available. Personally handpicked by the Dark Knight himself to be a reserve member when he's not leading his brothers. He's my favourite non DC or Marvel character as well.

Japanese Knotweed is a fast-growing invasive species and is a significant problem because it can cause physical damage to buildings and land. It is expensive and time consuming to permanently remove. Clarkslegal was instructed on the sale of a development site which was delayed for over a year when the buyer found Japanese Knotweed on site and insisted that the seller remove it before completion. Knotweed affects the value of property as well as its marketability and insurability and lenders will be less willing to accept a property affected by knotweed as security.
The owner of land could be prosecuted or given a community protection notice for causing a nuisance if he allows Japanese Knotweed to spread so that it grows on another landowner's property.
The Cardiff County Court gave its decision in the joined case of Williams v Network Rail Infrastructure Limited and Waistell v Network Rail V Network Rail Infrastructure Limited earlier this year. The Claimants were the owners of two semi-detached bungalows in Maesteg, South Wales, both abutting a railway embankment and access path owned by the Defendant, Network Rail Infrastructure Limited. The railway embankment and path had been infested with knotweed for at least 50 years and it had spread up to the Claimants' property boundaries and under their homes. Concerns regarding the knotweed were raised by the Claimants in 2013. Network Rail applied herbicide to the embankment but the treatment was intermittent and not sufficient to eradicate the knotweed or prevent its spread.
The Claimants brought their claim in private nuisance, arguing that the knotweed was preventing them selling their properties at their proper market value. They argued that Network Rail was liable to compensate them for the cost of treatment of the knotweed in the immediate proximity of their bungalows as well as the residual diminution in value that would remain even after the knotweed had been dealt with.
Both claims were successful. As the Claimants could not prove that they had suffered any physical property damage, they had to rely instead on an alternative grounds to argue that an actionable nuisance existed, in particular loss of enjoyment and harm to amenity. Traditionally these are grounds used as a basis for nuisance claims relating to unreasonable odour, dust and noise rather than to the spread of plants, but were allowed in this case.
There was no need for any physical encroachment of the knotweed onto the Claimant's land for this effect on amenity to amount to an actionable nuisance.
Network Rail had failed to do all that was reasonable in the circumstances to prevent the knotweed from causing a nuisance.
General damages for loss of amenity and interference with quite enjoyment.
A general damage award of £1,400 to Mr Williams to compensate him for loss of amenity suffered in the four years since 2012 when Network Rail ought to have been aware of the actual presence of the knotweed and the risk of damage and loss.
This case has implications for large landowners, such as Network Rail, trying to control invasive species particularly along railway lines roads and rivers. Landowners could be exposed to diminution in value claims in connection with any knotweed on their land, even where the plant has not encroached outside their property.
Network Rail has now appealed against this decision and we await the outcome of the appeal.


The Archiginnasio building was constructed in the second half of the sixteenth century as the established seat of the university, founded in the eleventh century. The first building housing the original Anatomical theatre was actually erected in 1595 and it was located in the room adjacent to the current one.
A large part of the conservation works date back to the Second World War, following the bombardment of the 29th January, 1944. The Anatomical theatre was completely restored, reusing the salvaged rubble and integrating them with new materials, remaking them identically and of the same material. The architect Alfredo Barbacci, with the collaboration of Prof. Vincenzo Gabelli, was director of the reconstruction work of the Archiginnasio theatre. Barbacci maintained a scientific correctness in this faithful renovation of the parts destroyed due to the number and integrity of the surviving pieces.
The Theatre is positioned in the internal part of the Archiginnasio building in the historic centre of Bologna. The decoration was finished around the middle of the seventeenth century. In that phase the lacunar ceiling was erected with the wooden sculpture of Apollo, the god of Medicine, in the centre surrounded by symbolic figures representing the constellations. From 1733 to 1736 the Anatomical Theatre was renovated with a series of statues of the more famous medical figures from antiquity and of the University of Bologna, the work of Silvestro Giannotti, while the two baldachins called the Spellati – 'skinned ones' – are by Ercole Lelli.
The Theatre underwent numerous restorations over the course of time, the more extensive being those carried out following the damage during the Second World War. It was precisely at that time that numerous restorations were carried out, necessitated by the aim of reconstructing the decorative sections in their entirety which had been heavily compromised by the bombardment. All the surfaces, though they had apparently been worked on with woods identical to the originals – fir for the structure and cedar for the statues – had been made uniform by means of surface treatments with shellac and bituminous varnishes which should succeed in preserving the work. These treatments have created surface patina which has functioned as an adhesive causing dust and dirt deposits to stick to the wood.
The restoration operation and successive maintenance work has had a two-pronged effect: in the first instance the conservation of the wooden surfaces and secondly, on an aesthetic level, that of the recreation of the original homogeneity of the colour spectrum of the interior decorative furnishings which the alterations had interfered with over time. It was the cleaning work therefore which succeeded best of all in bringing about this double result of conservation and aesthetic improvements. This work was naturally followed up with procedures more specifically of a maintenance nature, such as the disinfecting against xylophagous insects or the finishing protection of microcrystalline wax. The restoration was concerned not only with the wooden structure but also the decorative furnishings, with the sculptures inserted in gilded niches and the painted coats of arms, and is articulated in various procedures according to the needs of the individual artefact.


It's no secret telemedicine has had a profound impact on the industry, both nationally and globally. Organizations in big and small cities are seeing the benefits of employing such technology, and the biggest impression could arguably be on those living in rural communities.
And the number of telemedical tools available is growing, increasing quality of care and decreasing delivery times. Shah gives us the five ways telemedicine is currently boosting care in rural communities.
1.	Web meetings and online video tools bring expert caregivers anywhere. Programs like WebEx, GotoMeeting, Adobe Connect, and Skype are "wonderful tools to connect caregivers in populated communities to their rural patients," said Shah. "A simple $30 to $50 per month account on the physician side, with almost no direct cost for the patient, is an excellent way to engage with patients." Shah added these types of web meetings can happen securely, whether they take place at the patient's home, or patients are brought into satellite offices with high-quality telepresence. "Then, instead of waiting for days or weeks for a health professional to travel to an area, or patients having to take time off traveling to big cities, care can be given almost immediately with less inconvenience," said Shah.
3.	Mobile imaging and lab specimen collections with remote reading and web-based report distribution improve diagnostics. Shah said it's difficult for many rural communities to have their own diagnosticians, but mobile imaging centers and lab specimen "kiosks" can take X-rays and perform collections, while also sending the data electronically to large populated centers where they can be read and analyzed. "The reports can be distributed via secure email or other web-based applications to doctors in rural areas, or physicians [who are] remotely available and connected through web meetings or similar tools," he added.
4.	Behavioral health, mental health, and related care are made more accessible. "Veterans of our foreign wars are coming home with problems that can be easily diagnosed with proper access," said Shah. "But many of the veterans live in rural communities." Although primary care and specialty care is difficult to get in lesser-populated communities, Shah continued, behavioral and mental health is even harder to access. Telemedical assistance through online chat, Skype-like video conversations, and secure online messaging, though, can easily solve the problem.

Justin has exhibits at local galleries and events. "He always surprises me how professional he is," his owner says.
I first interviewed Adonna and Justin for a story I wrote about Justin that appears in a book that I contributed stories to for National Geographic Kids (125 True Stories of Amazing Pets).
Beats my stick people!! Good Job Justin.
Worked Sarasota Jungle gardens years ago. Bird lady. One bird by chance showed his art one day when I set him down next to the resident art bird. My bird picked up the brush and wrote "Bird" in scratch. At that point my bird became the artist trainer. Hated to see him go but he has ended up in a good bird show in Miami. You never know when a artist is born.

BIA, Charitable Foundation announce initiative to strengthen state's workforce
Workforce Accelerator 2025 to help ensure 65 percent of New Hampshire adults have degrees or high-value credentials needed to thrive in the workforce
By Kristen Oliveri, Vice President of Communications and Marketing | December 13, 2016
CONCORD, NH (PRESS RELEASE) – The Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire and the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation have joined forces to help more New Hampshire students get the credentials they need to get good local jobs and to help build a skilled workforce for New Hampshire employers.
The initiative, called Workforce Accelerator 2025, will help ensure a strong, 21st-century economy for the Granite State in two ways: by creating and supporting school-to-career pathways between New Hampshire's schools and businesses; and leading efforts with the state's public, private and educational sectors to ensure that 65 percent of New Hampshire adults have the degrees and high-value credentials that will be needed to thrive in the state's workforce by 2025. The initiative's work will target high school and college students and working adults living in and moving to New Hampshire.
"Right now, the top challenge facing employers of all sizes, in every corner of the state, is finding people with the right skills to fill existing job vacancies. Demographic changes to our state's population mean this challenge will persist for years," said BIA President Jim Roche. "Workforce Accelerator 2025 is a robust response by the Charitable Foundation and BIA to address this challenge."
The initiative is designed to help schools and colleges connect more closely with New Hampshire employers so communities can create "career pathways" where high school students gain workforce skills and engage in hands-on learning for credit, and college students benefit from expanded opportunities for internships. Workforce Accelerator 2025 will work with businesses and educators to expose students to occupational possibilities and to encourage them to build careers in New Hampshire.
"We are thrilled about this partnership," said Charitable Foundation Vice President Katie Merrow. "New Hampshire needs to increase youth opportunity so all of our kids get the education, training, and guidance they need to grow into productive adults who will contribute to our communities and sustain our economy into the future. And our employers need an educated and well-trained workforce so they can continue to succeed, stay in New Hampshire, and keep our economy and communities strong."
The BIA will add a new position, director of workforce development, to oversee Workforce Accelerator 2025 beginning in January. Initial funding for the initiative comes from the BIA, the Charitable Foundation and Fidelity Investments. The partnership is seeking additional funders to support the initiative.
"The alliance of businesses, government, and colleges and universities is critical to ensure that we develop a workforce, both today and in the future, that is well educated and well prepared, and embraces the real career opportunities that exist here," said Joe Murray, vice president of public affairs for Fidelity in Merrimack. "We hope additional businesses will see the value in this work and invest in its success."
The Charitable Foundation is working to increase youth opportunity as part of its 10-year, $100 million New Hampshire Tomorrow initiative. Early efforts focused on bringing together partners from business, education, government and the nonprofit sector to strengthen the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) workforce pipeline and to better prepare New Hampshire kids for great careers in New Hampshire.
"Workforce Accelerator 2025 is an exciting next step, and one that we expect will really move the needle on this issue that is so critical to the state," Merrow said. The Accelerator will build on the work of the Charitable Foundation's New Hampshire Tomorrow initiative, and the efforts of the New Hampshire Department of Education, University System of New Hampshire, Community College System of New Hampshire, New Hampshire Coalition for Business and Education and other partners who have adopted the goal of 65 percent of New Hampshire adults having degrees and high-value credentials by 2025.
The BIA and the Charitable Foundation have a track record of working together on important initiatives. The two were chief architects of Leadership New Hampshire, which has graduated more than 850 people from its leadership development programs since 1993.
