CHARITY MAKES A BEAT FOR HEALTHY FUNDING DOSE FOR ISAAC Isaac Regional Council has made a $10,000 pledge to be shared across Isaac hospitals and health facilities in Dysart, Clermont and Moranbah will be an injection in the right direction.

The pledge is part of the Mackay Hospital Foundation Giving Day for much needed funds for equipment and projects and volunteers who had set up shop at Moranbah Town Square yesterday.

Mayor Anne Baker said Council is continuing to advocate for critical health services in the Isaac region.

“We are providing support to events such as these to raise awareness and funds for critical projects and equipment that will improve health outcomes for patients in the region,” Mayor Baker said.

“Giving Day was a 24-hour fundraising challenge that rallies our local community to support hospitals across Mackay Hospital and Health Service – we’re so thankful to everyone

who made a donation and chose an Isaac region-based hospital and health facility.

The foundation is a dedicated fundraising organisation for the Mackay Hospital and Health Service region incorporating hospitals and health facilities in Bowen, Collinsville, Proserpine, Mackay, Sarina, Moranbah, Dysart and Clermont.

Council is classified as a match donor for the day which means that depending on the amount of matched funds received by the foundation, the donations from the community and organisations on Giving Day may be matched two, three or four-fold.

The funding is also utilised to support projects and equipment that will improve the health outcomes for patients with the region and providing comfort and convenience for patients’ hospital stays in the Mackay, Whitsunday and Isaac regions.

ISAAC TOURISM TAKES FULL FLIGHT AS STAR POWER RECOGNISED Isaac’s premier culinary, cultural and naturebased event St Lawrence Wetlands Weekend clipped another im-peck-able and golden win for the second time running at tourism’s night of nights in Mackay.

The iconic eco-festival, run by Isaac Regional Council, won gold in the festival and events category at the 2021 Mackay Isaac Region Tourism Awards.

First Nations Peoples’ bush tucker walks and traditional dancing, popular television personality Costa Georgiadis and Queensland’s food ambassador and professional chef Matt Golinski were the biggest drawcards delighting the record crowd of more than 2000, a 65 per cent rise from 2019.

Clermont Historical Centre took out silver in the best tourist attraction category and Nebo Bushman’s Carnival Inc which runs the Nebo Rodeo and other local events collected bronze in outstanding contribution by a volunteer group.

Kristen Stevenson of Nebo Hotel bagged a silver nod in the outstanding contribution by an individual.

Mayor Anne Baker said Isaac stamped its star power in front of nearly 200 people at Mackay Entertainment and Convention Centre on Friday, 8 October 2021.

“Tourism is one of our most valuable industries in the Isaac region. It’s worth more than $180 million a year and it directly employs about 1000 people,” Mayor Baker said “All these great local experiences would not happen without the pure people power behind the scenes.

“That’s what drives our resilience through floods, droughts and a pandemic.

“Congratulations to you all and we are so proud in growing our tourism industry and this is more evident as we stand together, resilient and strong, making our way through a pandemic, protecting our economies and lifestyles.”

Cr Jane Pickels, a Middlemount-based Mackay Isaac Tourism board member, said Council continued to work hard on several

fronts to increase tourist visits and to make Queenslanders and interstate visitors aware of Isaac’s attractions.

“Our visitors are immersing themselves in each of the unique localities that make up our Isaac,” the Division 7 Councillor said.

“From mining communities, to some of the oldest towns in our state, and the picturesque villages that are dotted along our spectacular Isaac Coast.”

Mackay Isaac Tourism CEO Tas Webber said the awards showcased the growth of the Isaac region’s tourism industry.

“We would like to congratulate all the winners and nominees for each award. We would also like to congratulate all of the tourism operators in the Isaac region for the incredible resilience they have shown,” Mr Webber said.

“These awards have shown the increasing demand and growth of the tourism experiences in the Isaac region, and we will continue to work with Council to ensure that visitors are able to explore the amazing experiences they have to offer.”

Mayor Baker said Council will continue its commitment to working with industry and government to support employment generating development which will enhance the sustainability and resilience of our regional communities.

“The inclusion of Isaac in the Mackay Isaac Tourism brand, which is a fantastic milestone, is one great part of the evolving Isaac story,” Mayor Baker said.

The St Lawrence Wetlands Weekend event was proudly brought to the region by Isaac Regional Council in partnership with the Koinjmal People from Koinmerburra Country and the community. It was supported by the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland.

Save the June 22-24 date for the 2022 event, follow Council’s Facebook page for the latest information or call 1300 ISAACS (1300 47 22 27) on how to be part of the annual festival.

HOW FAR CAN A PENCIL DRAW?

How many times have you been to a party where people are struggling to make conversation?

There’s an awkward silence as people try and think of conversation starters. You break the silence with a random question and ask How far can a pencil draw? A couple of people may look at you strangely but someone else is brave enough to give an answer and this opens up a discussion about how far can a pencil draw.

This leads you on to sharing more interesting facts about pencils and soon conversation is flowing among the group. So how far could a pencil draw? It is estimated that a typical pencil has enough graphite to draw a 56-kilometrelong line – the same distance as driving from Clermont to Capella plus a few extra kilometres towards Emerald.

Lead pencils have been around since the 16th century but the lead is really graphite. When graphite was first discovered, it was thought to have been a type of lead. Before the traditional wooden casing of a pencil was invented in the 16th century, the graphite centres were wrapped in string or sheepskin. A pencil lasts 62 times longer than a pen and more than 14 billion pencils are used globally every year.

Everyone has trivial facts stored somewhere in the depths of their brains and the Clermont Library has books on facts to help you expand your trivial knowledge. These books can also provide answers to questions curious children ask, such as how does a zipper work, how does an animal see at night or how were the Egyptian pyramids built?

NEW ARRIVALS New books in adult fiction include:

TAKE HOME SOME F5F MAGIC!

During October, our littlest library patrons will be able to take home some First 5 Forever magic to treasure forever.

Isaac families who attend a First 5 Forever session at their local library or special Pop Up event will be able to take home a F5F Rhyme Time booklet to keep.

Only one copy will be given per child for the month so if you have more than one child attending a F5F session, all children in the family can take a copy of the booklet.

CELEBRATING SENIORS MONTH Seniors Month is being celebrated throughout Queensland during October and to mark the occasion, the Clermont Historical Centre is offering free entry to anyone holding a Seniors Card.

COMMUNITY NEWS “WORK HARD IN SILENCE AND LET SUCCESS BE YOUR VOICE.” One could say the above statement is true for the Clermont Work Camp, the team of 10 low security prisoners quietly move in and around the community of Clermont fixing, building, maintaining, creating and helping their community in relative silence. The success is shown in the results rehabilitation initiatives like Correctional Work Camps can offer offenders.

According to QCS correctional manager lowcustody George Muir the program was now one of the most successful prisoner rehabilitation schemes in Queensland (ABC 2021).

Currently the work camp is busily working on a refurbishment of a toilet block at the Clermont Showgrounds, creating a fresh new facility for the community of Clermont to use during the many events and activities that are conducted within the showground precinct area. Prisoners have been developing their painting skills along with basic carpentry skills. Projects like painting and refurbishment of spaces offers an opportunity for the prisoners to self-assess their own work to a degree as well as working as a team, helping each other to achieve desired outcomes. These personal growth opportunities are a key to rehabilitation success and minimising recidivism rates.

The team has also been busy organising and preparing for some maintenance work to be completed at the Clermont Day Care and Kindy, to be started in the up and coming rotation.

Amongst our community based jobs, the workcamp continues to assist at the Clermont Saleyards and Showgrounds and Clermont Historical Centre, actively learning new skills, building confidence and developing a sense of self-worth and purpose to take forward when gaining meaningful employment upon release.

Queensland Corrective Services prides itself on being able to provide a labour source to the clubs and organisations of the communities in which they live. The work camp initiative is important in offering low-security prisoners the opportunity to make reparation to the community harmed by offending behaviours, whilst developing skills that will increase employment opportunities upon their release.

To discuss the opportunity to utilise the Clermont Work Camp, please feel free to contact Mim Allen, Community Liaison Officer/Field Officer on 0417 083 197 for more information.
