History steams up town-moving engine An iconic steam engine that moved a town out of a deadly flood zone is set to be the star attraction during a free event in Clermont.

Engine restorers Kevin Fry (Clermont Historical Centre) and Robert Kluck with the historic Aveling & Porter traction steam engine.

Experience this rich, diverse and dramatic history at the Clermont Historic Centre’s free community day from 10am to 3pm on Saturday, July 1.

Clermont Historical Centre caretaker Kevin Fry has been working with renowned expert Robert Kluck to partially restore the engine to its former glory.

Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said the steaming of the legendary traction steam engine which is key to Clermont’s heritage will be the feature of the day.

Cr Baker said there will be much more to see including an extensive collection of outdoor exhibits.

“The historic Aveling & Porter steam engine, was one of two that moved Clermont after the 1916 Flood,” Cr Baker said.

“This will be its first public steaming in more than two decades.”

Cr Baker said visitors can also view the commemorative 1916 Flood exhibition A Flood of Memories.

“Relive stories of courage, heroism and tragedy from one of the deadliest floods in Australian history,” Cr Baker said.

More than 60 people lost their lives in floodwaters after a tropical cyclone crossed through the Whitsunday passage in December 1916.

“One special exhibit is the Abor Creek Bridge. It was sabotaged by shearer’s during the 1891 Shearer’s Strike,” Cr Baker said.

“They were attempting to stop soldiers armed with machine guns and rifles travelling by train to Clermont.”

The Clermont Historical Centre is on the Gregory Highway, about 2km from Clermont.

Council would like to invite expressions of interest from stall holders of arts and crafts, food and refreshments and entertainers to offer their services.

To register your interest or for more information please contact the Clermont Historical Centre Coordinator, Deb Alvoen on 4983 3311 or debbie.alvoen@isaac.qld.gov.au.

Expressions of Interest close at 5pm on Friday, May 26, 2017. Details and registration forms are available www.isaac.qld.gov.au/tenders-and-eoi-s.

Clermont Show - the Isaac Region’s Show Some Fun in the Gum.

Adorned with gum leaves and with a wildflower chandelier gracing the centre of the room capturing the ‘Fun in the Gum’ theme of the event, the Clermont Show Committee hosted the 2017 Miss Showgirl and Rural Ambassador dinner and announcement on Saturday May 6 in the Heritage Building at the Clermont Showgrounds.

In fact all who attended the function agreed that if these are the people who will carry on the Clermont Show tradition, then it is in good hands well into the future.

Hosted by former Miss Showgirl runner-up Ria Garside and Brendan Brieffies, 2016 Clermont, Central Highlands and State People’s Choice Rural Ambassador, the atmosphere of the event was enhanced by the vibrant young entrants in the competitions who themselves embraced the essence of the Clermont Show tradition, including Senior Miss Showgirl entrants Marricka Clancy and Clare Hensley, Junior Miss Showgirl entrants Macey Marks and Tracy Gibson, Mini Miss Showgirl Kingsley Williams, Senior Rural Ambassador Veronica Zacharias and Mini Rural Ambassador Lachlan Daniels.

Of course with the ‘Fun in the Gum’ theme, the serious side of the night was encompassed throughout the night with the tables being turned on the judges when they found themselves answering some ‘tough’ impromptu questions, along with an egg and spoon race with a twist, literally!

In between a traditional roast dinner, all participants presented themselves exceptionally well, introducing themselves to the audience and answering an array of impromptu questions, which highlighted each of their exceptional public speaking abilities.

Macey Marks is the 2017 Junior Miss Showgirl and runner-up Junior Miss Showgirl is Tracy Gibson with Kingsley Williams being the 2017 Mini Miss Showgirl.

Judges for the competitions in 2017, Councillor Lyn Jones, Jess Crawford and Ryan Crawford were impressed by the ability of all of the entrants after spending the afternoon interviewing all entrants, hearing their confident speaking abilities and sharing dinner and conversation with them throughout the night.

Judge Jess Crawford commented on Clermont Show’s ability to attract and retain so many exceptional young people in their Show Committee.

Obviously the main event of the night though was the announcement of the winners for 2017 Miss Showgirl and Rural Ambassador competitions.

Clermont Show’s 2017 Miss Showgirl is Marricka Clancy and runner-up Clare Hensley.

The 2017 Clermont Show Rural Ambassador is Veronica Zacharias, with Lachlan Daniels the 2017 Mini Rural Ambassador.

The Clermont Show Committee would like to congratulate all of the entrants and we look forward to seeing you all at the Clermont Show – The Isaac Region’s Show!

Fuzzbook contributed by Sarge Well I suppose I better get the bad news out of the way first, or good depending on who you are I suppose - but I am leaving.

“Really?” You might say, or “we just got used to you and now we have to get someone else?”

Change is inevitable and the almost 12 years I have spent in this town have been good to my family and I but it is time to move on. I am being promoted to Senior Sergeant to Mount Isa to run the lockup for the town.

Don’t worry I’ll keep a special place set aside if any Clermont locals play up in the Isa, maybe even a hot cuppa. Speaking of which everyone is more than welcome to drop in when they drive through to say g’day!

I will be having some farewell drinks on the afternoon of Sunday June 18 probably at the Commercial beer garden. I’ll have my old boss from Mackay there and needless to say he doesn’t have to hear all the stories.

It will be sad to go but you have to move on to go upwards and it will be the first time I have worked in a city for 21 years. I’ll keep you posted on the farewell drinks and I hope everyone can come, even the people I have disagreed with over the years.

Onto other news the break ins keep persisting.

We have four offenders appearing on 30 charges next court date related to the break ins at the Grain Corp site and the footy fields break in and fire. We have had a further break in at the water tower on Hetherington Street with some real damage done to the door. An IPAD has gone missing from a property on Peakvale Road where it is suspected someone has walked into the house and grabbed it.

If you have any information call the station on 4983 4444, police link on 131 444 or crime stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Very good conduct at the footy on the weekend with Besser being the most excitable caller I have seen in years. But it was a tight game all round and it was great to see people having fun. Bit of an emergency though with a fidgety baby so I got a nurse for a little while. I still have the touch!

Everyone behaved with the driving too with no readings registering at all during the night even though many cars were targeted.

Just lately we are having complaints of noise being too loud from neighbours. When we have told certain people to turn it down they wish to argue until they are told there is no set times for noise.

If it is too loud then it is too loud. If we have to give a direction to turn the noise off altogether then that is for four days (96hrs) that you cannot put it back on for or you will be sent to court and any equipment gets seized from you. If you are ringing up to complain about the noise then do it earlier rather than later if its loud at 8pm then it will probably still be the same at 2am.

So call us so it can be controlled as we may not be working in the early hours.

Well that is about it for now.

We had another truck drive off the road but no fruit and veg this time. The driver was okay, but he took out two light poles at the Peak Downs Highway intersection when his steer tyre blew.

Until next time, The Sarge

CLASS DESCRIPTION Gut and Butt Blast Is a target class that focuses on strengthening and toning the nine core divisions of the abdominal plane, simultaneously blasting the three muscles of the buttocks, hamstrings and quadriceps. This will increase fat metabolism at rest and help slim and tone those problematic areas. Although not targeted, general whole body conditioning applies and while challenging, is more than suitable for any fitness level.

Boot Camp Boot camp in the park does not only get you out of the house, but also the little ones.

Each week is a new and exciting full body program.

No week is the same offering a variety and challenges for any fitness level. It’s a fun 30 minutes, while working hard on those fitness goals.

An exercise ‘circuit’ is one completion of all prescribed exercises in the program. It is highly enjoyable and recommended to all levels of fitness.

Pilates Pilates classes build strength, flexibility and lean muscle tone with an emphasis on lengthening the body and aligning the spine.

Lets lift This program has been designed to target the eight large muscle groups in a 45mins whole body workout.

This is achieved through the use of barbell and dumbbell weights.

Pilates has a focus on the core which can basically be thought of as the ‘powerhouse’ of you body, but also includes the pelvic floor and lower back. It’s a great low impact class for all ages. Spots are limited so please contact us to get yours today.

Open gym This is your opportunity to use the gym facilities, there will be a basic weights program and WOD on offer for your utilisation, or you could just be creative and do your own training.

HIIT - High-Intensity Interval Training This training technique commands full effort through quick, intense bursts of exercise followed by active recovery periods. This for of exercise uses power and cardio, keeping the heart rate high and metabolising fat at the same time.

Boxing 4 Fitness This is a moderate to high intensity cardio boxing class effective in defining the body’s musculature, while improving balance, flexibility and coordination.

The cardio component uses the body’s energy systems and improves your ability to use oxygen, helping you to work harder for longer and burn fat in the process.

Circuit training This is a form of body conditioning or resistance training using high-intensity/low-intensity aerobic energy. It targets strength building and muscular endurance.

This class is suitable for all fitness levels.

Metafit This is a 30mins bodyweight training system that gets results!
