Golden local artists invited to ‘Paint the Pan’ Aspiring and talented artists across the Isaac region are invited to ‘Paint the Pan’ ahead of this year’s Clermont Gold and Coal Festival, August 14 -15. Designed as a creative celebration of all things Clermont, ‘Paint Your Pan’ asks entrants to paint a gold panning dish with anything relating to the unique personality of the town. Exhibition organiser and Clermont Artslink President Erin Zordan said the opportunities are endless for turning gold pans into fantastic works of art.
“Paint Your Pan is Clermont’s first ever art competition and exhibition, and is a great opportunity for young and old to stimulate imagination in a way that is uniquely Clermont,” he said. “The competition has four categories: Primary School, Secondary School, People’s Choice/Community and Open, and for the judges, choosing just one winner from each category will be a tough job.” “It’s a positive first step towards developing Paint Your Pan into an annual event for Clermont.”
“‘Paint Your Pan’ aims to challenge perceptions about conventional art and to provide an innovative approach to art education. Clermont schools and community groups are invited to take up the challenge with entries open until Thursday August 6,” she said.
The competition is funded by the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) who support professional and emerging artists, Glencore and the Gold and Coal Festival who have generously donated the gold pans.
“Entrants can have a go at decorating their gold pans with pop art, zentangles, patterns or folk art—the quirkier and brighter the better.”
The Regional Arts Development Fund is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Queensland local councils.
“We already have 180 pans ‘under construction’ by entrants which is an incredibly encouraging sign that the community has embraced this innovative arts initiative.”
The quirky art competition is open to all residents from around the region, with free entry for students and $10 entry for adults, which includes a gold panning dish.
Deputy Mayor Dale Appleton is looking forward to viewing the final entries, with judging to be held on Saturday August 15.
Entry forms are available at Clermont Library or www. clermontartslink.com, with gold pans to be collected and submitted at Cool Autos, Clermont. For more information please visit www.clermontartslink.com

Health Matters contributed by Jackie Martin Clermont MPHS Health Promotions Officer Managing death and dying
•
Isolation
For most people in our culture, the thought of dying is frightening. Thinking about talking with others about this subject can also be very scary and stressful. Many people avoid the topic all together and, at a time when connection to others is so important, you can be left feeling alone and afraid.
•
Fear of non-existence
In reality, all of us have thought about dying. Having these important conversations with friends, family, and your healthcare team can lessen your anxiety and reduce the isolation. Many of your fears about death and dying can be addressed by using three steps: acknowledge your fears, share your concerns with others who will listen, and focus on your quality of life. Acknowledging Your Specific Fears While many fear death, each of us has our own specific fears and concerns. You may find it helpful to try and identify your specific fears rather than remaining stuck with a generalized sense of fear. Sometimes there may be no specific answers or solutions but sharing your fears with your loved ones, healthcare team, members of a faith community, mental health professionals, or others can be very useful in helping you to feel less afraid and less alone. Some also find talking to others who have cancer, such as in a support group at the Cancer Support Community, to be very helpful in reducing fear. Below are some of the most common fears that people have about death and dying. •
Fear of the unknown
•
Fear of pain and suffering
•
Fear of punishment
•
Worry about what will happen to loved ones
•
Loss of control
Some of these fears can be lessened a little with some simple strategies. For example, making plans in advance for guardianship and financial planning can help lessen worry about loved ones left behind. Similarly, recognizing what is out of our control can help to focus attention on the things we can control.
Sharing your fears with others Being open about what you are really thinking and feeling with those close to you will help them feel more comfortable being around you. Let them know that you still want to know what is happening in their lives and that it is okay to joke and talk about trivial things as well as some of the more serious things on their minds. Focusing on quality of life No matter what the future may hold, it is important to remember that you can live fully in the moment. Focusing on the here-and-now can help shift your thinking, even if temporarily, away from fears and worries. Focusing on the emotional, social and spiritual aspects of your life should not be overlooked. Try to do the things you normally do that bring you pleasure even if adjustments need to be made. Make plans for the future that are meaningful for you. Playing with a grandchild, listening to a favorite piece of music, taking a walk or sharing a special meal with a friend can help you to remember to enjoy life today.

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.
