TAKE A STAND AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Raising awareness and spreading the message of support is the takeaway as Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month draws to a close. Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said as a community, everyone has a responsibility to not accept or tolerate silence and ignorance surrounding domestic violence. “Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month is a time for us to recommit to standing up against violence and offer support for anyone in our community to come forward and report it,” Mayor Baker said. “We are experiencing a unique set of challenges brought about by COVID-19,” Mayor Baker said.
Mayor Baker said it was a good time to recognise the tireless work of the police service, paramedics, hospital staff and support organisations that are close to the victims of domestic and family violence. “Thank you for all you do to combat and support those impacted by domestic violence,” Mayor Baker said. “Responding to one incident is too many, when the only acceptable number is zero. Not now, not ever should violence, abuse or bullying be tolerated. “Domestic violence has too great a voice in our communities. We will continue to advocate for appropriate resources to deal with perpetrators and most importantly support those victims in need.”
“Families are in close quarters for extended periods of times. However, this is not an excuse for violence, and help is available for anyone who feels unsafe.” Domestic and family violence is never okay.

COUNCILLOR JONES’ COLUMN A few less restrictions are now in place regarding the COVID-19. However, I cannot stress enough how we must all abide by rules and regulations for some time to come. A little bit of inconvenience for now will pay off in the long run. However, I know that our local business community are suffering, but if everyone can still do what they are doing and shop locally where they can then hopefully we will see the light at the end of the tunnel. It still seems strange that I have to write this way in advance of it being published but I have to do it this way so there is time for all the checks and balances to be done. So if events or timing seem a bit out of sequence then this is the reason. We lost two local identitiesrecently, Dan Clancy and Chris Hayman. Once again the isolation rule made even a funeral a very different event. Respect was still given though with an enormous line up of cars on the lagoon. There have been a few meetings in Moranbah of late. Distancing and all correct procedures are in place to enable us to do this. Face-to-face rather than by computer screen definitely makes a difference with how you communicate with other Councillors, directors etc Axel pretty much hated me not being at his beck and call all day (while I was in Council). He behaved as a spoilt child would when I arrived home. Thank goodness he does not tear stuff up, if he did I probably wouldn’t have a house to come home to.
It was a few days of overcast weather but with very little rain. I thought to myself, yep show time is just around the corner (or would have been in normal circumstances) so rainy weather is the normal. Just another thing that we have had to forego but won’t we look forward to it next year, as long as restrictions have lifted by then. You would hope so. Does it feel like we are getting used to things the way they are? Or is it just me. I hope everyone is still coping with the situation in the best way they can. I still feel very strange not being able to visit up at Montcler. However, the restrictions that Mackay Health have put in place must be abided by. They have been put in place to keep everyone of our most vulnerable citizens safe. As the aged are at most risk, we must do all we can to ensure they are not infected. Well I had better finish as I now have several meeting by Skype to attend to. Axel thinks its pretty good though as he sits on the bed behind me and snores. How this is not heard by all and sundry I have no idea. Until next time, stay safe and cough into your elbow.

CLERMONT CONNECT PROJECT Contributed by the Regional Social Development Coalition The Regional Social Development Coalition (RSDC) will be working with and supporting the Clermont, Nebo, Glenden and Collinsville communities thanks to a project funded by Glencore Coal Assets Australia. President of RSDC Karen May said the funding provided a part-time Community Development worker to be appointed in Clermont to support the local Clermont CONNECT initiative. “The initiative is about bringing together not-forprofit community groups to build a collaborative model and structure for greater sustainability and viability, ensuring important services and activities are provided to the Clermont community, now and into the future,” Ms May said. The Clermont community is clearly wanting to be able to make decisions about how to best use available community resources, many of which have been provided by community fundraising and donations. “While there is a strong feeling of ownership, many regional community groups struggle to maintain a volunteer base and Management Committees, which impacts their governance, financial management and ability to apply for funding. “This is an innovative project being led by the Clermont community with RSDC support, and has potential for long term benefits, not only in Clermont, but for other regional communities. “RSDC is proud to be able to facilitate this opportunity for Clermont and congratulates Glencore on its foresight in providing funding that supports regional resilient communities.” RSDC has appointed Ashton Ball as the Clermont CONNECT Project worker who, along with Senior RSDC Coordinator Dorne Wallace, will support NFP groups to work together, provide access to professional, legal and financial advice, facilitate workshops to develop community leadership capability and undertake engagement and connection with the broader community. Once this model is developed and piloted, RSDC plans to work with other regional communities to underpin community sustainability and wellbeing. If anyone would like to know more about the regional work of RSDC, please contact Karen May karen.may@mackay.qld.gov.au , or to know more about Clermont CONNECT, contact Ashton Ball at clermont@rsdc.org.au.

Council acknowledges community groups may be experiencing financial hardship due to social restrictions preventing events or activities from being held which would normally be a source of revenue to fund recurrent expenses supporting the operations and memberships of organisations. Community organisations may wish to provide support to local households or vulnerable groups impacted by COVID-19 by way of food hampers or goodwill packages providing the essentials of life.

Researchers think that if everyone washed their hands properly, about 1 million lives would be saved every year.1 When performed correctly, hand hygiene results in a reduction of microorganisms on hands. Poor hand hygiene contributes to the spread of pathogens, which can cause health issues such as gastrointestinal and respiratory infections.
