Council calls for creative Christmas displays Isaac Regional Council is calling for Christmas enthusiasts who wish to spread Christmas cheer to enter Isaac’s annual Christmas Lights’ Competition.

Acting Mayor Geoff Bethel said nominations are now open for this wonderful tradition.

“It’s one of the best family experiences at Christmas, travelling the streets and seeing the twinkling lights.”

“Residents can nominate their incredible festive displays in Nebo, Clermont, Middlemount, Moranbah, Dysart, Glenden and St Lawrence to Ilbilbie.”

“Each year we are amazed at the efforts our residents and businesses go to, to spread the joy of Christmas before Santa arrives on his sleigh,” he said.

Community Groups and Isaac Regional Council representatives will judge entries as early as November 29.

All competition details and entry forms are available at www.isaac.qld.gov.au/christmas-lights-competition.

Are you playing renovation roulette?

This NOvember Isaac Regional Council is calling on the community to Get to kNOw Asbestos.

National Asbestos Awareness Month urges everyone, from weekend DIYers to experienced builders, to know the risks.

Acting Mayor Cr Geoff Bethel said asbestos-related diseases will increase unless we take warning signs seriously.

“Australia has one of the highest incidence rates of malignant mesothelioma in the world. One in three Australian homes contains asbestos in some form or another.

“Home renovations are popular due to shows like The Block.

“If you suspect you have asbestos in your home, contact Council and one of our Building Services Officers can lab test a sample for a cost recovery fee.

“Don’t play Renovation Roulette, learn how to protect yourself and family.”

During NOvember Isaac residents are encouraged to host a Blue Lamington Drive morning or afternoon tea.

Your event will help to raise awareness and vital funds for medical research and support services for sufferers of asbestos-related diseases.

National Asbestos Awareness Month • • • •

Get to kNOw asbestos this NOvember, visit asbestosawareness.com.au Register a Blue Lamington Drive morning or afternoon tea, visit www.bluelamington.com Make a donation to support research conducted by the Asbestos Diseases Research Institute.

To book an asbestos lab test with Council’s Building Services call 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227) or email records@isaac.qld.gov.au

For more details visit www.isaac.qld.gov.au

National Asbestos Awareness Month is an initiative of the Asbestos Education Committee in partnership with the Asbestos Diseases Research Institute and supported by the Heads of Asbestos Coordination Authorities.

Peter Dunphy, Founding Chair of the Asbestos Education Committee, said asbestos isn’t only in fibro homes.

“Asbestos was used in the manufacture of a broad range of products before 1987. It could be anywhere; under floor coverings, behind tiles, in cement floors, behind walls just to name a few.

“Before you take to the tools please visit asbestosawareness.com.au. There you can take the 20 Point Safety Check, view Australia’s only comprehensive online asbestos product database, Ultimate Renovators Guide and much more.”

Asbestos Awareness: The Block host Scott Cam encourages everyone to get to kNOw asbestos this NOvember for Asbestos Awareness Month.

Upcoming ‘GPS Essentials’ workshops contributed by Hannah Leu - AgForce Queensland AgForce Queensland is holding a ‘GPS Essentials’ workshop on Wednesday December 7 in Clermont giving landholders the opportunity to learn how to use or improve their handheld GPS skills.

contributed by The Sarge Well it was no Milan catwalk on Saturday at the races where I was a guest judge for the committee, but competition was pretty fierce in fashions of the day.

I was cordially asked what qualified myself as a judge.

I’m not really certain. But I have been judging, reading, assessing and communicating with people my whole entire career. I like to think I look deeper, however the character is not always revealed when stiffened up on the stage with that held smile for, oh, so long. Perhaps we should concentrate on the whole person not just the facade, but then that would take a background check and a million other things and the horses need their rest!

Anyway the races were a hit and again a great crowd overall. A couple tried it on in the bar and they got turfed out for their troubles. That sort of continued through the night. Any signs of trouble was jumped on by everybody, which is a very far cry from the days of old for Clermont. I love seeing people enjoying themselves but when people decide to upset everyone elses night, well that’s when they need to say goodnight.

As the warmer weather heads in please drink responsibly and remember to drink water on your nights out as alcohol dehydrates you.

Incidentally that is why you have a headache the next day. You are dehydrated which is easily cured by drinking water, not more GROG!

turned up and police are investigating the back story of it and another motorbike from Cheesborough Road earlier in the year. If anyone has any information on a missing XR600 motorbike please contact the Clermont Police Station or if somebody has tried to sell one to you. The help would be appreciated.

On the traffic front we are consistently seeing the same people offending around town. Young drivers remember to put your L, green P or red P plates up on your vehicle when you are driving it. If mum or dad or somebody else is driving it then they need to be taken down again.

This will attract a fine if seen.

More motorbikes have been reported in and around the streets of Clermont. Like I warned last week if parents want to front court or face huge fines so be it. If not, lock the motorbike away or don’t buy them in the first place. It is that simple.

Anyway that’s all for now. Remember to be prepared for storm season and watch out for flying debris. On every storm video I have seen there is usually one trampoline or plastic table and chairs flying through the air. Tie these objects down or put them away if a storm is brewing.

Take care.

LIBRARY HAPPENINGS

On the Shelf

Can you help?

Isaac Libraries are planning to hold recycled art sessions during the December/January school holidays.

First Five Forever The First Five Forever program aims to give children from birth to five years old the best chance in life and improve literacy outcomes.

Clermont Library staff are gathering recyclable items for these sessions but needs some help to ensure there enough resources available for children to turn ‘trash’ into art. We are seeking donations of magazines, plastic shopping bags (in all sizes and colours), large cereal boxes and bottle tops of all shapes and colours (please wash before donating).

Babies and children love sharing stories and it’s never too early to talk, read and tell stories with your child.

If you can help, please drop your donations off at the library.

Christmas is coming Christmas is coming and if you’re planning a nontraditional Christmas menu, come and have a browse through the cookery section for inspiration on salads, seafood or barbecue dishes.

Maybe you want to make your own Christmas cards – books on cardmaking will give you ideas.

There are also plenty of books on craft to inspire you to make handmade gifts to put under the Christmas tree.

New arrivals Recent arrivals in large print fiction includes the following: Indelible by Peter Helton Best Served Cold by Sally Spencer Recent arrivals in young adult fiction includes the following: Girl Online by Zoe Sugg The Ocean of the Dead by Andrew McGahan The Bundless Sublime by Lili Wilkinson ‘One Million Stars’ project The 10,000 stars will be Isaac’s contribution to the ‘One Million Stars to End Violence’ star weaving project.

Isaac Libraries are championing this project and have encouraged community members to visit their local Isaac Library to weave stars. We have a star weaving station set up for people to drop in anytime during opening hours to weave a star from ribbon.

A huge thank you to one Clermont Library patron who purchased their own ribbon and made about 140 stars to contribute to the ‘One Million Stars’ project.

Thank you also to those who made stars while attending the Clermont Beef Expo recently.

It is planned that the stars will go on a regional tour and be displayed at the Isaac Libraries before they are sent to the Gold Coast to be included in a display at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

The Clermont Library runs three children’s sessions a week and all programs are aimed at helping young children develop their literacy, numeracy and language skills from a young age, through singing nursery rhymes, performing action songs and reading books.

Library program/event bookings Bookings for all library programs are essential. To book call the Clermont Library on 4846 3746.

Until next time, see you at the Library.
