Isaac communities commemorate Anzac Day Hundreds of people commemorated the Anzac Centenary at moving dawn and morning services across nine locations in the Isaac region on April 25. Mayor Anne Baker said young and old gathered to reflect on the service and sacrifice of Australian men and women who died or suffered in the great tragedy of war. “The strong crowds at local services held across the region reflect Anzac Day’s significance in the hearts and minds of all Australians.” “Together with veterans, servicemen and women, and RSL members, our communities marked this significant milestone in our nation’s history, the 100 year anniversary of the war in Gallipoli.”
“Anzac Day is the day we remember all Australians who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations,” Mayor Baker said. “It was heartening to see so many young faces at the services and marching in the parades as we paid tribute to the ANZAC’s and their spirit of courage, mateship and sacrifice.” “We send our hopes to all those serving in current conflicts, war and peace keeping operations for a safe return to our shores.” “I am immensely proud of our community’s determination to maintain this special day to reflect on our freedom and ensure its meaning is passed onto our younger generations.”
“The commemorative services to honour our fallen countrymen were a credit to our local RSL committees and members, community groups, schools, businesses and everyone who contributed.” Moranbah RSL President Brady Cummins said the RSL was extremely happy with the turn out by the community. “The amount of kids that were at the Dawn service in Moranbah was amazing and shows the youth will remember them also.” “They were very special services that were fitting of such a significant ANZAC Day.”

FIFO inquiry submissions encouraged by Mayor Mayor of Queensland’s largest mining region, Anne Baker, is seizing the opportunity to lodge a submission to the state government’s inquiry into FlyIn, Fly-Out (FIFO) workforce practices, and encourages the community and local businesses to do the same. “This is our chance to put forward our case and influence much needed change to FIFO work practices and related impacts,” she said. “The voice of the community is powerful and I encourage residents and businesses to tell their stories through a submission.” “The inquiry covers a range of topics including mental health and effects on families.” “Council’s submission will give voice to local government and community impacts, such as the effect 100%
FIFO has on established resource communities; the incentives for companies choosing a FIFO workforce such as tax settings; the extent and projected growth of FIFO work practices by region; and the way the FIFO life style can effect mental health and families,” Mayor Baker said.
Members of Parliament representing the Isaac region include Inquiry Committee Chair Mr Jim Pearce, Member for Mirani; Mr Shane Knuth, Member for Dalrymple; and Mr Lachlan Millar, Member for Gregory.
The Queensland Government’s inquiry looks at the impacts of ‘FIFO and other long distance commuting work practices in regional Queensland’. Submissions close on Monday May 25 at 4pm. The public can view more information on the Queensland Parliament website, following the link to committee and inquiries. “It’s very promising that all Members of Parliament with electorates representing the Isaac region sit on the inquiry committee,” Mayor Baker said.
Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker is encouraging the community to lodge a submission in the FIFO inquiry.

The CLERMONT RAG
Extract from ‘Blair Athol Bush Sports History ‘The new grounds’ by David Henderson The Blair Athol Bush Sports Club held its last campdraft, rodeo and gymkhana at the old Blair Athol Recreational Reserve in 1993. We had to move out and make way for mining. It was sad to have to go but that made us determined to get a suitable spot and get on with rebuilding a new site. Lots of ideas came up as to where the best place would be for us and the decision was made from a champion committee of men, women and kids. It was a joint effort and I was the President and I must say how proud I was to lead this brilliant team to get this challenge done ready for the May Day weekend. Rio Tinto gave us funding for new fences and materials, around $20,000 compensation. The spot we liked was on a stock route and close to the railway line, which created a few headaches. We needed a lot of support to be able to get the new grounds, from councillors and the lands department. The stock route was closed and the 30 acres became a recreational reserve. The new grounds were named “Harrison Park” because of all the support the club received from Bill and Glen Harrison. This was in kind support, cement, water, timber, machinery; the Harrisons assisted by providing whatever was needed to build the new grounds. In 1993, the last Blair Athol Bush Sports were held at the old grounds and once we had decided on the new position (it was about November 1993), we still wanted to hold the 1994 bush sports on the new grounds. We worked every day we had spare to get the new grounds ready. The timber we needed was found, some kindly donated and other loads just appeared. In one of the biggest working bees we had 40 people there. Mick Cook was contracted to move the secretary’s box, chutes and canteen shed from the old grounds and much to his credit, this was not an easy task to do. The canteen shed was moved; it was a large structure and was placed on the back of a truck. At one stage, I was called and told the canteen shed couldn’t fit through a section of the
road, but leave it to a Cook to get the job done. It was a very funny time. Goose Williams and Perry Gittens took the yards on, a big job, and I must say a job very well done. Volunteers paid $10 per day for food, supplies and expenses. Of course in the tradition of BA Bush Sports you paid to be a volunteer! We all did it, because it was great fun to be part of. The Palmer boys, Glen & Charlie, erected the secretary’s box and nearly all of the welding around the grounds. When lifting the secretary’s box it was about 10cm short of getting onto the stands. Workplace health and safety would have shot us! The crane couldn’t lift it any higher, so we drove the crane onto some logs to get the extra height. This is what the group was about, give them a problem and they would solve it. Micky Johnson had a lot to weld onto the secretary’s box and stands. He only had one set of steps, but Sgt Kickbush “found” another set from the mine. A lot of hard work and dedication went into building the new grounds by the members, as well as by their wives, as they looked after home and house while we did it. 1994 was a brilliant rodeo, one of the best ever seen. People couldn’t believe we pulled it off. The grounds were officially opened in 1994 by Mrs Mary Fraser, who loaned gear and all of my time, as I worked for her during this period. The first campdraft judge was Richard Hughes (from Wentworth), the first competitor was Gavin Vallis with 78 points on “Napoleon”. Gavin, also a member worked to set-up the grounds, so it was good that a member got the first run. I had three runs as President of the committee, and was President up until 2002 when Mick Gittens took over. After Mick the Presidents were Kevin Berry, Ian Gittens, Tim Madden and as at today, John Burnett. Without a doubt the committee was the greatest group
of people. The bush sports committee only needed someone to step up and lead, as you only needed to set a challenge and these guys would solve it and set out to build it, and once done, sat and worked out what they needed to do to improve it. Laurie Walker and John Chamberlain were Treasurer and Secretary for so long I have forgotten for how many years, and they were dedicated to their roles. Faye Walker was always there to support. I had a lot of support from Perry Gittens as head stockman, which included looking after all the campdraft cattle. Goose Williams was the yardman and in charge of the rodeo. I never had to go to the yards to find out what was going on. The committee worked hard and certainly knew how to play hard too. When everyone was having fun, it was good going and easy work. 1983-1988, we held 11 rodeos and 10 of them were wet, so in 1988 we were $800 behind. We held a disco and made $1500 to $1800 and this got us back on track again. The $10 per day members paid to work all day also helped us get back on our feet. People would donate meat to support the camp, they cooked cakes and biscuits………….. Dave was President of Blair Athol Bush Sports Club from late 70s-mid-eighties; 1988 – 2002. Most of the works at the grounds were built in the first year when it was constructed. The biggest issue was money, but we got through. KGSA always catered and they always provided a great feed. There have always been a lot of supporters of BA and it has always been a family show.

Clermont Show - The Isaac Region’s Show Monday May 25 - Wednesday May 27 Showcasing, agriculture, horticulture, home and school based creativity
The concept of exhibiting and promoting the region’s best and providing an opportunity for social and business networking is the aim of the 2015 Clermont Show – the Isaac Region’s Show. Held from Monday 25th – Wednesday 27th May 2015, the Clermont Show will showcase agricultural products, home and school based activities and horticultural crops. Building on its past successes, due largely to strong community support and the willingness of the committee to present new and innovative ideas, the Clermont Show gives the people of the Isaac Region and beyond, an opportunity to compete and display their many and varied talents, as well as experience a great family day of education, entertainment and enjoyment. Have you nominated for the Giant Pumpkin Competition? Have you taken a spectacular photo lately? Perhaps you enjoy cooking? Maybe your children would enjoy the creative challenge of constructing an animal using vegetables or fruit or making a floral saucer in sand? Perhaps you enjoy growing vegetables, flowers or herbs in your home garden. The variety of pavilion exhibits is enormous and includes Horticulture, Home Produce, Schoolwork, Floral Art, Handicrafts, Scrapbooking, Fine Arts, Cookery, Needlework, Photography and Venerables. To ensure a diverse display of local produce, as well as providing an interesting spectacle of local talent, you as a member of the Isaac community are encouraged to become involved in your local show. In response to the large number of entries received in 2014, please note the new closing time for the Handicrafts’ Division is midday on Monday 25th May. This will allow the pavilion stewards more time to carefully display all entries. Promoting the Down to Earth theme, this year the Pavilion Schoolwork division explores the International Year of Soil initiative run by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations. Activities range from ‘a
collage of things found on earth’ for the pre-preps, or for the Year 2 students, who need to write a poem about dirt and include a photo or picture, the creation of a painted artwork using natural earthy items of sand, dirt, twigs and leaves for the Year 3 students to creating a wind chime out of recycled materials for Year 6. To keep in line with Queensland Education changes regarding Year 7 students now being part of the high school, age brackets in all divisions have been amended. Please refer to the Pavilion Schedule for full details.
A highlight of the 2015 Clermont Show’s family entertainment program will be the Rooftop Express Arena Spectacular. This display is considered a first class, family friendly show that encourages crowd participation with exciting, outback animal entertainment. The show crowd will be amazed as highly trained horses and farm animals perform incredible world-first stunts and tricks both on the ground and on the roof of the Rooftop Express truck. The talented cast of performers – both human and animal – bring this original show to life with incredible outback tricks, thrills and spills with family bush humour, antics and energy. Following on from the Grand Parade at 1pm on ‘Show Wednesday’, the Rooftop Express will present a final performance at approx. 2pm. Spectators are encouraged to stay on at the show and be part of an exciting new initiative of the Clermont Show Committee, ‘The Young Farmers’ Challenge’. Set as an obstacle course/ team relay with stations depicting the diverse range of events that our regional show encapsulates, the challenge will be a fun way to remind show goers of all the Clermont Show has provided in 2015. Teams from across the entire Isaac region are encouraged to participate. A State of Origin Woodchop at 3pm as well as another first for the Clermont Show, the Belyando Bull Bonanza
Sale, form part of the afternoon’s attractions. Don’t forget those pre-show events coming up soon. Nominations close for the Miss Showgirl Competition on 9th May. This is also the closing date for bookings to the Fab, Flirty, Fifties High Tea which includes the Isaac Region Showgirl announcement on Saturday 16th May.
Gate entry prices for the 2015 show have not changed. Where else but the Clermont Show would visitors be able to enjoy a full day of educational fun and entertainment for the whole family for $5 per adult!

Guillie has been treating creatures great and small, from stud bulls to cranky chihuahuas, in the Clermont area since arriving in Clermont in 1975 with his wife Carly and two young children, (two more children would later arrive), to set up his own veterinary practice. Guillie’s story in Outback Vets is not just about his veterinary career but also his ‘other job’ as a lay minister. He is an active member of the local Catholic parish and as a lay minister, has been called upon to give blessings to the dying at the Clermont Hospital when a priest was not available. One dying man remarked that he was doubly blessed – ‘Once by a priest and once by a vet’.

Prime and Store Cattle Sale April 15, 2015
A smaller yarding of 680 head came on offer at the Clermont Sale Yards this week. A fine mix of cattle was presented this sale for buyer’s convenience with predominantly heifers up for auction. Cattle prices are continuing to recede with the system still blocked up with meat works and feedlots seem to be getting a flood of cattle dropped at their door step. Weaner Steers topped at a strong 235.2c/kg while weaner heifers topped at 185.0c/kg. Feeder weight Steers topped at a solid 239.2c/kg and feeder Heifers at 182.2c/kg. Fat Cattle were back with Bullocks topping at 212.2c/kg while cows made up to 183.2, Bulls toped at 190.2c/kg. Over all prices are coming back but still strong compared to what we have seen in the past few seasons. CATEGORY

Health Matters April No Falls - Helping older Queenslanders stay healthy, active, independent and on their feet Every day, 133 older Queenslanders have a fall requiring medical attention, even though falls are mostly preventable. Falls have a big impact on mobility and independence, but there are steps that can be taken to reduce the risk. What is a fall? The World Health Organisation defines a fall as “inadvertently coming to rest on the ground, floor or lower level, excluding intentional change in position to rest in furniture, wall or other objects”. Falls in older people cover a wide range of events, including: • trips on raised obstacles (eg. loose rugs, cords, mats) or uneven surfaces (eg. footpaths, roads) • slipping on wet or highly polished surfaces • tumbles and stumbles down steps or stairs • falling off a ladder or stepladder • falling over in a shopping centre or while using public transport. What a fall is not Falls in older people are not accidents. Similarly, falls are not an inevitable or unavoidable part of life. The word ‘accident’ has several meanings including ‘anything that happens by chance without an apparent cause’ 32 or ‘an event without apparent cause, unexpected event, chance, mishap’ 33. The causes of a fall can usually be identified and the sequence of events leading up to the fall can be predicted and therefore can be prevented.
Fast facts: Falls for Queenslanders aged 65 years and over (2007-08) • Most falls occurred at home during the cooler months (May to July). • Most falls were caused by slips and trips on a level surface. • Falls injuries were mainly to the head, hip and forearm. • The most common falls injury was fractures, mainly to the hip. • Each day, 62 older people fell and required an ambulance, with most being over 85 years. • Each day, 13 older people required emergency department services due to a fall. • Each day, 35 people were admitted to hospital due to fall-related injuries (with 10 of these being admitted due to hip fractures). • The average cost of a hip fracture to Queensland’s health system is $15,046. • Hospital staff reported 32 falls each day within hospital facilities (mostly unwitnessed, occurring in the morning between 9am and 12 noon, and in the afternoon/evening between 3pm and 7pm). • During 2007, 493 Queensland residents died due to an unintentional fall, with nearly 95% being aged 65 years and over. • Falls are caused by many factors including impaired balance, gait, reduced muscle strength, slowed reaction time, poor vision and the use of multiple medications, depression, a fear about falling,
inappropriate footwear, incontinence and environmental hazards within and outside the home. • Most falls are preventable and predictable 67. Falls can be prevented by staying healthy and active, maintaining strength and balance, identifying falls risk factors and addressing them, and improving home safety to avoid hazards. Taking action to stay healthy and active as you get older helps improve your wellbeing and reduces your risk of falling. Our bodies are designed to be used and this becomes even more important as we get older. Being physically active is essential for health and wellbeing and will also help you to stay independent. If you do have a fall, being fit will help minimise the impact and harm from such an event. Essential elements of physical activity include strength, balance, endurance and flexibility. While age can affect your strength and balance, this can be improved by regular physical activity on most days of the week. It’s never too late to start. For more information about physical activity or to assess your individual situation, download: • Ageing with vitality: www.health.qld. gov.au/stayonyourfeet/ageing_vitality Your everyday guide to healthy active living and Ageing with vitality: Workbook • How to Stay On Your Feet® Checklist.

Clermont Men’s Shed & Community Garden Exciting things are continuing to slowly but surely happen at the Old Powerhouse Museum. The shed is now open each Wednesday from 9am-12pm, offering a regular time for members to come and work through the jobs and projects that are needed. A white board inside the office area has a list of jobs that need to be done. Our goal is to develop the shed to the point where the workstations for metal working and woodworking can be set up, garden beds planted out and regular projects can begin.
refurbishment. We have recently been donated electrical cable which will allow us to run power stations within the shed. We have secured a kitchen for the crib room. Material for the garden beds and some of the garden infrastructure has been generously donated. Key purchases of both tools and plants will happen this month, complementing some donations from community members. We are deeply grateful to the many people who have supported us either with their time, tools or goods.
Key achievements in the last few months include the continued development of the crib room out the back, extension of plumbing to allow water points throughout the site, complete securing of the site with all windows fixed or replaced, design and building of some of the wheelchair friendly garden beds, planning and evolution of the garden plan, initial planting of frangipani and passionfruit, design of the interior setup and the beginning of the office
Times of opening are currently being discussed, with the potential for a set weekend if there is enough interest. Anybody who would like to join us in developing the key projects of the shed, or who would just like to come down on a Wednesday are welcome. For further information please contact Scott Rathbone on 0407659402 or Jackie Martin on 0409947324, and like us on facebook for ongoing information!
