Cent-sational Seniors Week in Clermont It was on for young and old when 96 seniors from Clermont, Dysart and Moranbah came together to celebrate Seniors Week at the Clermont Civic Centre on August 20.
“Seniors play such an important part in our towns, contributing a lifetime of knowledge, experience and skills to both their families and the wider community,” she said.
The cent sale was once again the highlight of the day, with all participants in with a chance to win some goodies, kindly donated by local businesses.
Deputy Mayor Dale Appleton and Clermont Councillor Barbara Stranks also joined the celebrations, with Cr Stranks noting the efforts made to entertain guests.
Seniors were also treated to a Thai Chi demonstration and displays by small businesses, Scentsy and the Body Shop, with product samples and items for sale. Mayor Anne Baker attended the event and said it a pleasure to see so many local seniors both celebrating and being celebrated on the day.
“The crowd thoroughly enjoyed the performance by local music group Time Lapse, and was waited on beautifully by six students from Clermont State High School who assisted with table service as part of their Hospitality unit ‘Interact with Customers’,” she said. “Thank you to everyone who contributed towards making the day such a success,
especially to the businesses who kindly supported the event, without your generosity the day would not be possible.” Supporting businesses included: Lotta Lattes; Mitre 10 Clermont & Moranbah; JD’S Hair Affair; Leo Hotel; Commercial Hotel; Cornetts IGA; Beale’s IGA; ANZ; Ornabella’s Clothing; Clermont Pharmacy; Clermont Post Office and Upacutz Hair Salon. Thank you also to Monash Lodge who assisted 13 of their seniors in attending the event and to Clermont State High School students: Morgan Mills, Erin Slattery, Gabby Clements, Kate Turner, Emily Pearl and Daniel Smith for their hospitality services.

School News St Joseph’s School Student of the week:
Prep: Ruby Johnson for the amazing work that you have done with addition this week. Year 1: Lainey Foot for always putting in 100% when completing learning tasks.
Understanding changes in disability support: conversations about the NDIS The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will be a new way of supporting people with disability across Australia. People who currently receive disability support will need to move across to the new scheme between July 2016 and June 2019. Other people with disability, who do not currently receive support, may also be able to access the scheme. Families and people with a disability in areas where the scheme is being trailed say that it is important to start thinking and getting prepared before the scheme starts. They say navigating any new system can be confusing and daunting. The scheme offers new opportunities for people to think differently about the lives they want and the support they need, but thinking about how things can be different and how to get ready for the scheme should start now.
Year 2: Year 2 for your incredible efforts and enthusiasm for our Eisteddfod Poems. Year 3: John Absolon for showing a real interest in Science, particularly Space. Year 4: Jacob Moore for always writing detailed responses during work on writing in Daily 5. Year 5/6: Campbell Martin for always being on task and taking pride in his work.
Community Resource Unit (CRU) is pleased to have the opportunity to travel to Clermont to talk with people about the NDIS, what it can mean for people with a disability and some of the thinking and preparation that will be helpful for when the scheme starts. They will be in Clermont on 3 and 4 September to have conversations with people with disability and their families and with disability and community workers who are in regular contact with people with a disability. Join CRU for a cuppa and a conversation about the NDIS: Conversations with people with disability and their families Thursday 3 September, 2:30pm – 5pm The Old Library, Daintree Street Clermont Conversations with health, disability and community workers Friday 4 September, 9:30am – 11:30am The Old Library, Daintree Street Clermont Home visits at these times can also be booked for people with disability and their families. These events are funded by the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services through the NDIS Participant Readiness initiative.
Making Jesus Real award: Colby Crawford for always sharing your positive and happy spirit with our class. Riley McPherson for the way you are so caring towards your friends.
Book in now for a time to talk. Call the CRU office on 3844 2211 or via the CRU website http://cru.org.au/event/emerald-road-trip/ About Community Resource Unit (CRU) CRU is an incorporated not-for-profit organisation that believes people with a disability deserve access to the same life as everybody else.

The CLERMONT RAG
Health Matters contributed by Jackie Martin Clermont MPHS Health Promotions Officer Smiling for Smiddy is an annual pushbike challenge that covers 1800kms over 8 days as it pedals its way from Brisbane to Townsville. This event honours the memory of Adam Smiddy who died from an aggressive melanoma at the age of 26, prompting three of his triathlete friends to ride from Brisbane to his home town of Home Hill (near Townsville) as a way of dealing with their grief. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the first ride, and it has grown from one ride to several challenges around Australia and overseas, with a view of raising money for the Mater Foundation to assist in prevention and cure, and as a way of spreading the skin safe message. Watch out for them this Wednesday.
What is melanoma? Melanoma is the fourth most common cancer diagnosed in Australia, which along with New Zealand has the world’s highest incidence rate for melanoma.
Causes: Melanoma risk increases with exposure to UV radiation, particularly with episodes of sunburn (especially during childhood). Melanoma risk is increased for people who have: •
increased numbers of unusual moles (dysplastic naevi)
•
depressed immune systems
•
a family history of melanoma in a first degree relative
•
fair skin, a tendency to burn rather than tan, freckles, light eye colour, light or red hair colour
•
had a previous melanoma or non-melanoma skin cancer
Incidence and mortality •
In 2009 there were over 11,500 new cases of melanoma diagnosed in Australia, accounting for nearly one in ten cancer diagnoses.
•
Melanoma is more commonly diagnosed in men than women. The risk of being diagnosed with melanoma by age 85 is 1 in 14 for men compared to 1 in 23 for women.
• •
In Australia in 2011, there were 1544 deaths due to melanoma. Melanoma is the seventh most common cause of cancer death in Australia.
Screening Individuals at high risk of melanoma should be taught to check their skin for irregular or changing lesions, and have annual checks by a dermatologist.
Prevention Avoid sunburn by minimising sun exposure when the SunSmart UV Alert exceeds 3 and especially in the middle of the day when UV levels are most intense. Seek shade, wear a hat that covers the head, neck and ears, wear sun
protective clothing and close-fitting sunglasses, and wear an SPF30+ sunscreen. Avoid using solariums (tanning salons).
How well do you know your own skin? According to the ‘know your own skin’ website, your skin is your largest organ. In fact, the average Australian adult has two square metres of it. However, because your skin is an external organ, it can be easily damaged and disfigured. Learning more about your skin will help you take better care of it, so it can function as well as possible and age as it should, not before its time. Have you ever spent time in the sun? The more sun exposure you have had over the course of your life, the more likely it is you will have sun damaged skin. However, it is important to understand that sun damage may not be visible on your skin until many years after the initial damage occurred. As a result, it is important that you get to know your own skin so you can learn to identify possible areas of sun damage and bring them to the attention of your doctor as early as possible.
Checking your skin Up to one in two Australians will develop sun spots, which can lead to skin cancer if left untreated. In fact, approximately two in three Australians will be diagnosed with a form of non-melanoma skin cancer before the age of 70. Yet despite this, only three in ten Australians over the age of 40 get annual skin checks. As well as having your skin checked by a healthcare professional on a regular basis, you should get into the habit of checking your own skin every three months. By getting to know your own skin, and checking it at the start of each season (for example spring or summer), you will be able to identify any new spots or lesions shortly after they appear on your body. You will also be able to notice any changes to existing spots, freckles or moles. The sooner a melanoma is identified and treated, the better the outcome for you. For more information, contact Cancer Council Helpline on 13 11 20 or to download the ‘know your own skin’ app, visit www.knowyourownskin.com.au

While simultaneously blasting the three muscles of the buttocks, hamstrings and quadriceps. This will increase fat metabolism at rest and help slim and tone those problematic areas.

Workout Of the Day (WOD) This is a board based program, working TO the principles of H.I.I.T where you can come in and complete the workout in your own time. What is H.I.I.T? High-intensity interval training is a training technique, which commands full effort through quick, intense bursts of exercise followed by active recovery periods. This form of exercise uses power and cardio, keeping the heart rate high and metabolizing fat at the same time.
Open Gym This is your opportunity to use the Gym facilities, there will be a basic weights program and WOD on offer for your utilisation, or you could just be creative and do your own training. Lets Lift This program has been designed to target the eight large muscle groups in a 45 minute whole body workout. This is achieved through the use of barbell and Dumbbell weights. This class is suitable for every fitness level. Mad GRIT This is a 30min program incorporating core, strength and cardio based exercise, ideal for total fitness development. THUMP Boxing is a moderate to high intensity cardio boxing class. This class is specifically effective in defining the body’s musculature, while improving balance, flexibility, and co-ordination. The cardio component uses the body’s energy systems and improves your ability to use oxygen, helping you to work harder for longer and burn fat in the process.
