CLERMONT RAG FRIDAY AUGUST 17, 2018 More than 300 guests attended the 2018 Mayor’s Charity Ball. Inset: Mayor Anne Baker with special guest the Hon. Mark Furner, Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries.
CHARITY GALA SUPPORTS EMBATTLED FARMERS Half the net proceeds from this year’s Mayor’s Charity Ball will be donated to initiatives to support drought-affected farmers in the Isaac region. A capacity crowd of more than 300 guests filled Moranbah’s Town Square last Saturday night for the Isaac’s gala night of nights under the stars. Guests at the event were entertained by Master of Ceremonies Terry Hansen and musical acts Bulletproof Duo, Mezzanine and The Three Waiters. Mayor Anne Baker, who chairs the Isaac Regional Charity Fund, said the fifth staging of the event had been the biggest yet, raising money for important causes. “It was a record breaking event by all measures and I thank everyone for their continuing support. Together, we can make a real difference in people’s lives,” she said. “We had more than 300 guests and record support from event sponsors. It demonstrates the difference pure people power can make in the lives of others. “Since 2014, the wonderful generosity of our Isaac community and event sponsors has helped the Isaac Regional Charity Fund raise more than $170,000 for worthwhile causes which assist the most vulnerable in our society. “This year, 50 per cent of the net proceeds will help support our drought-affected farmers while the remainder with continue the work of the Isaac Regional Charity Fund in supporting mental health initiatives.”

Mayor Baker said more than 90 per cent of the Isaac region was currently drought-declared, along with over half of Queensland. “The Isaac is well-versed in the extremes of nature from droughts to flooding rains, it has made us a resilient community, but our farmers and graziers, those who put food on our table, are doing it tough at present and need our support,” she said. “In addition to supporting our local farmers, as a community, we need to continue to work together to bring mental health out of the shadows and into the national consciousness. The work of the Isaac Regional Charity Fund is helping to make a difference. “Mental illness affects one-in-five Australians at some stage in their life. More than three million Australians are living with depression or anxiety and every day eight are taking their own life nationally.” Mayor Baker acknowledged the generous support of the event’s 2018 sponsors. “The generous and valued support of Isaac businesses and organisations, through sponsorship and donations, plays a major part in the continuing success of the event. I thank all our 2018 sponsors for supporting this important community event,” she said. Isaac Regional Charity Fund is a deductible gift recipient, which means it can receive tax-deductible gifts. There are a range of ways people and business can support the fund. To find out more contact the Office of the Mayor on 4846 3398 or email mayorsball@isaac.qld.gov.au

DO YOU WANT THE ESSENCE? CONTRIBUTED BY JOHN BURNETT, PRESIDENT ON BEHALF OF BELYANDO ENTERPRISE NETWORK INC
Belyando Enterprise Network Inc (BENI) is presently promoting discussion and an exchange of ideas on how our community can develop an “Ideal Seniors Lifestyle” in Clermont. Queensland Health has almost completed the new High Care Facility at the Clermont Hospital, replacing the present service from Monash Lodge. This will then leave a vacant building, owned by the community and funded by community donations, with an unplanned and uncertain future. BENI is encouraging residents to contribute to the discussion with their thoughts and ideas, through a survey being managed and analysed by Renee Wall of Wall Planning and Environmental Consulting. “It is important to receive as much input as possible from local residents on the future of this community facility, to make sure it is suitable for future aged-care requirements”, Renee explained. “Our community needs to make some major decisions, while the opportunity exists.” •
Is there a need for supportive living in Clermont at Monash Lodge?
•
If so, what changes are required to upgrade the facility to suit our modern lifestyle?
•
What level of care should be provided?
•
Would you choose to live in this lifestyle?
•
How can this be funded into the future?
“These are some of the questions our survey will help to answer, if there is enough response,” said Renee. John Wilkinson, a member of the BENI Committee, has submitted the following poem to help our community contemplate the future. He describes it as “a poem for yesterday, today, and tomorrow”.
MY SOUL HAS A HAT I counted my years and realized that I have less time to live by, than I have lived so far. I feel like a child who won a pack of candies: at first he ate them with pleasure, but when he realized that there was little left, he began to taste them intensely. I have no time for endless meetings where the statutes, rules, procedures and internal regulations are discussed, knowing that nothing will be done. I no longer have the patience to stand by absurd people who, despite their chronological age, have not grown up. My time is too short: I want the essence; my spirit is in a hurry. I do not have much candy in the package anymore. I want to live next to humans, very realistic people who know how to laugh at their mistakes and who are not inflated by their own triumphs and who take responsibility for their actions. In this way, human dignity is defended and we live in truth and honesty. It is the essentials that make life useful. I want to surround myself with people who know how to touch the hearts of those whom hard strokes of life have learned to grow with sweet touches of the soul. Yes, I’m in a hurry. I’m in a hurry to live with the intensity that only maturity can give. I do not intend to waste any of the remaining desserts. I am sure they will be exquisite, much more than those eaten so far. My goal is to reach the end satisfied and at peace with my loved ones and my conscience. We have two lives and the second begins when you realize you only have one. Poem by Mario de Andrade (San Paolo 1893-1945) Poet, novelist, essayist and a musicologist. One of the founders of Brazilian modernism. John Burnett, President, Belyando Enterprise Network Inc.

PUBLIC NOTICES DOG RENEWAL NOTICES WITH 50 PER CENT DISCOUNT OUT NOW Renew your ruff friend’s rego and claim your 50 per cent discount before September 7, 2018. It’s not a far-fetched idea to register man’s best friend now and then you’ll be able to claim the discount next year. The great thing about registering is that if Council picks up your dog, rangers return them for free for the first time. If the dog is unregistered – owners will be up for an impoundment and registration fee before they’re released home. To avoid this, harness pure puppy power and register,
microchip and make sure your yard is secure and safe. When you’ve got your dog registered, anything is paw-sible as the fees will also help fund essential services in the region’s animal management. Please note: Council is experiencing some technical issues with dog renewal registrations via BPay. Please call 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227) or visit your local Council office for assistance. Council apologises for any inconvenience caused.
SINKHOLE ADVISORY - McDONALD FLAT ROAD Isaac Regional Council advises residents that a sinkhole has occurred at Lot 201 on CLM643, south of Clermont. The sinkhole has been cordoned off by Council and the relevant State Government agency - the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy - has been notified. It is located on State land about 300 hundred metres past Rural Number 99 on the western side of McDonald Flat Road, approximately 30 metres from the roadside.
People are urged to avoid the immediate area. Those considering visiting the locality, which is popular with prospectors and trail riders, are advised to exercise caution as sinkholes can occur without warning.

This class is suitable for all fitness levels.
