Clermont Rag - 26 October 2018

CLERMONT RAG FRIDAY OCTOBER 26, 2018

GET READY FOR WHATEVER MOTHER NATURE MIGHT BLOW YOUR WAY Isaac Regional Council is urging residents to check their ‘WHAT-IF’ plan leading into disaster season.

Extreme weather in Queensland is not an ‘if’ but a ‘when’ and planning ahead is essential to be prepared and to potentially save lives.

Local Disaster Management Group Chair and Mayor Anne Baker said Queensland is at increased risk of natural disasters during November through to April.

“Severe weather events in recent years have taught us that natural disasters don’t discriminate when it comes to where, when and how they strike”, Mayor Baker said.

“We need to take action in our communities by cleaning out gutters, removing debris, securing loose items in the yard and making sure insurances are up to date.

“Now is also a good time to prepare a household emergency plan and put together an evacuation and emergency kit that covers all of the people and pets that reside with you.

“If residents are not sure about what needs to go in their kit, or would like more information on how to get disaster ready, I recommend they visit Get Ready Queensland’s website getready.qld.gov.au “As a community, it is up to each individual to do their part in ensuring they are as organised as they possibly can be for whatever potential emergency situations may lie ahead.

“I would strongly encourage everyone to get ready, stay ready and be prepared.”

During an emergency or disaster situation, residents should visit Council’s Disaster Dashboard at dashboard.isaac.qld.gov.au to access up-to-date weather warnings, emergency news, road conditions and power outage information.

In the case of a life-threatening emergency, always dial triple zero (000). Residents requiring flood and storm assistance should contact the State Emergency Service (SES) on 132 500.

For more information, phone Council’s 24/7 Customer Service Centre on 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227).

PUBLIC NOTICES FINAL DAYS TO HAVE YOUR SAY ON MANAGING FLYING FOXES IN ISAAC There’s still time to have your say on options for managing flying foxes in the Isaac region.

•

Visit www.isaac.qld.gov.au/flying-foxes to complete the online survey

We are seeking your suggestions to help us determine how to respond effectively if flying foxes are causing problems. We encourage all community members to have their say by this Friday, October 26.

•

Pick up a paper survey at your nearest Council office or Council library

Consultation closes this Friday, October 26.

We will share a summary of what we heard from the community through the survey and info share sessions in early 2019.

PARTIAL TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF CENTENARY PARK, CLERMONT - UPDATE #2 Isaac Regional Council advises that due to the expansion of the flying fox colony the temporary fecning to isolate the roost will be extended from:

Thursday, October 25 Until further notice This means that part of the pathway adjacent to Hoods Lagoon will be partially closed until further notice.

Majority of the park, including the shade structure and toilets, is unaffected by this temporary closure. The roost is away from residential backyards, in the trees on the south bank of Hoods Lagoon (corner of Capella and Lime streets).

Council will continue to monitor the flying fox roost and will provide the community with updates once a course of action is established.

Workers trimmed some trees in the park to try and discourage more roosting in the area on Saturday.

Council will monitor and assess the colony and continue discussions with ecologists as to possible management options.

Residents are reminded that it is against the law to harm or disturb a flying fox roost, and unplanned and unauthorised actions can impact on you, your neighbours and your community. Council recommends that residents undertake proactive vegetation management at properties to prevent flying foxes from camping in their backyards. The best way to do this is to trim or remove potential camp trees, commonly mature mango, fig, or poinciana, little red flying foxes can also camp in eucalypts, palm and other trees.

Council thanks residents for their understanding and apologises for any inconvenience caused.

WATER RESTRICTIONS ADVISORY LEVEL 2, CLERMONT Isaac Regional Council advises Clermont residents that Level 2 Water Restrictions are in effect.

BEEF EXPO & TRADE DISPLAY 2018 Don’t forget the annual Beef Expo will be held next Wednesday, October 31 at the Clermont Showgrounds.

John Burnett has contributed the poem below relfecting on this upcoming event.

COWBOYS AND ITCHY BUMS written and contributed by John Burnett It’s called Cowboys and Itchy Bums, but this is not to startle mums,

If my pig dog’s looking wormy, if my gut is feeling squirmy,

They will refer to Dr Guy, who will help establish why,

It’s simply what the expo forum this year’s all about.

Will my pussy give me fur balls?

Are there other nasty tricks?

And what you should be doing to reduce your disease risk.

For if your babe is eating chicken,

And what about a wild boar,

Some of them are quite contagious.

But your pup is in there licken up the crumbs around his hands and mouth they’re sharing worms no doubt!

If I am feeling real sore.

Guillie’s wit is most outrageous,

Could it be that brucellosis has hit me for a six?

So the message at the forum is sure to be brisk!

Could my pet pooch give me parvo or could one more beer this arvo.

There will be cattle on display,

Be enough to keep me safe from all these bad outcomes?

To catch up with mates, discuss the latest gear around for sale.

In dusty yards when doing battle,

Q fever, leptospirosis, lyssavirus, halitosis,

H &W, CRT, then add in you and me.

Or is there a risk from flying foxes in the park at night?

Which is what and can I catch them, or will I just get ‘Itchy Bums’!

My kids have a pet mouse, there are guinea pigs at our house,

Well if you would like to know,

The topic is Zoonotic which is just a fancy name, For things that man and beast might share if hygiene isn’t right.

Can you get it just from cattle?

A wallaby lives on my lawn, I have a pet snake too.

Our birds live in our aviary.

We have a real menagerie, So can we get protection from diseases from our zoo?

Come to the Clermont Beef Expo, For it really doesn’t matter if you own a farm or not.

It’s a really splendid day,

Yes, come up to the Showgrounds for a day that cannot fail!

You see Tony, Jake and crew, with Clermont Agencies there too, For months they’ve been preparing to put on a real good show.

Great cattle prizes to be won,

Dr Guilfoyle says it plain,

There’s a bull sale too, for some.

Dr Sarah will explain,

Forget the drought; come on out, this year it’s time to go!

For they both will help protect you and sort out what is what!

JUGS & JOCKS IS BACK FOR 2018 contributed by Grant Oswald Another two excellent speakers are lined up for version two of this much anticipated event for the men of the region.

On Thursday, 15 November at the Commercial Beer Garden, come and have a chat with NRL great David Shillington and listen to Mr Garry Mills, and his amazing story that has led him to help clients develop their growth mindset and resilience.

Our ability to laugh at our self and each other is a key message of Garry’s.

This event has come about due to the amazing generosity of the Highlands Droughtmaster Sale who had a charity auction early this year and donated the funds they raised to an organisation called Tie up the Black Dog. Tie up the Black Dog was founded in 2006 by three ladies from Goondiwindi on the Queensland border.

They recognised the stigma that existed around depression, and most people’s lack of understanding and inability to cope when confronted by a loved one or mate who needed help.

Since 2006, Tie up the Black Dog has grown and awareness events have been held from Georgetown in the north to Mt Isa and Longreach in the west and all throughout southwest Queensland.

“We try to connect rural communities with speakers they would normally not be able to access,” Mary Woods, one of the founders, said.

“We run on a shoestring, and in more recent years, have had some incredibly generous donations from all parts of the state.

Thanks to the funding from Tie up the Black Dog and Clermont Community Housing and other Services, who have generously donated some drought funding from the Queensland Government, we enlisted the help of Blokepedia to ensure that we had two high quality speakers.

Blokepedia was started in January 2017 with the aim of getting men talking about issues that affect them, from mental and physical health through to relationships.

What originally started as a simple blog site is now growing into a unique mix of online and face-to-face resources for men.

This growth is driven by insight and feedback from the Blokepedia audience: the many men who are looking for a way to connect with other men to share their stories and begin important conversations and provide support for each other.

We all need human interaction, the chance to be heard occasionally and just to know we are not alone. But there doesn’t need to be a crisis and circumstances don’t need to be at rockbottom for an important conversation to begin.

Sometimes a simple opinion, some input or a non-judgmental ear is all that’s needed, or a quiet beer in the company of like-minded folks and some interesting stories to listen to. Blokepedia wrote that this is why they are here and it is exactly why we started Jugs and Jocks last year.

Entry is $15 per person which includes nibblies, a burger and beer. Tickets are available at Clermont Pharmacy.

“We try to ensure that the funds received from a district find their way back to that district.

This event sold out last year and tickets are sure to be at a premium again, so please get in early to avoid disappointment.

“We have no office, apart from our homes, take no salary and have no staff, apart from the three of us. We feel it is vital that the funds that come to us are returned to the community,” Mary said.

Jugs & Jocks 2018 – leave the wife and kids at home, come along and share a beer, burger and a laugh with your mates whilst listening to two engaging speakers with some incredible stories.
