Strong start to Clermont cattle sale season The Clermont cattle market is off to a strong start with the first Prime and Store Sale of the year held last week.

There were 800 head of cattle sold at the Clermont Saleyards from local producers.

Hoch and Wilkinson partner Jake Passfield said the prices were very good.

“I started out in Clermont buying a 1,300 acre property from my Uncle, that’s now grown to 480,000 acres.

“Quoted prices of the day were feeder steers which made up to 324c/kg and weaner steers that made up to 343 c/kg,” he said.

“Cattle weights this year aren’t too bad due to the winter rain, but the season’s beginning to shorten up.

“Most people have had a little start with some summer rain, but are looking for a bit more for their growing season.”

“New producers starting out, are no different to me.

If they put their mind to it, it can all be done.”

Isaac cattle producers contribute approximately $212 million a year to the beef industry, with agriculture making up the largest number of registered businesses in the region.

Sales at the Clermont Saleyards take place on the second Wednesday of each month.

For a full list of sale dates visit isaac.qld.gov.au/saleyards or call Council’s 24/7 Customer Service Centre on 1300 472 227.

Donation of bicycles contributed by Mackay Hospital Foundation The Mackay Hospital Foundation was proud to host the handover of brand new bicycles to four children who are ongoing patients at the Mackay Base Hospital recently.

Michael Jones, Chair of the Mackay Hospital Foundation Board (kneeling on far right) with Clermont Coal employees and four children who are ongoing patients at the Mackay Base Hospital.

The bikes which were assembled by employees of Clermont Coal were given to the children together with helmets and other assorted gifts, at a special morning tea at the Mackay Grande Suites. The employees, who assembled the bicycles as part of their two-day training course, were thrilled to meet the children and show them the various features on their new bikes.

Chair of the Mackay Hospital Foundation Michael Jones said, “What an extremely powerful experience to witness the sheer joy and excitement on the children’s faces when they walked into the room and saw the shiny new bikes.

“This is a fantastic example of big business working collaboratively with a local charity - the Mackay Hospital Foundation - for the betterment of our local community.

Sincere thanks to Clermont Coal and training company Pragmatic Thinking for their generosity and support.”

The Mackay Hospital Foundation is a non-profit, community driven charity organisation supporting the Mackay Base Hospital and all public hospitals in the Mackay Hospital and Health Service district.

The Foundation was initiated with a commitment to fill the gap between what the government provides and what extra support our region’s hospitals need.

We support a superior health care environment by inspiring and involving our community to invest in innovative health services, medical and health technology, world-class training and education, and research.

Nominate an inspiring woman in Isaac Is there a woman or young woman who makes a difference in your life or your community?

Mayor Anne Baker said Council is seeking nominations for the Inspiring Women in Isaac Awards.

“These awards are part of International Women’s Day and Queensland Women’s Week celebrations from March 7 – 13.”

Mayor Baker said this year it’s about being ‘bold and involved’.

“Alana will join our Moranbah, Nebo and Clermont celebrations.”

“It’s about encouraging women and girls to participate, and pursue leadership roles, in their community and workplace.

“Isaac Regional Council is proud to bring Women’s Week and International Women’s Day to our communities.”

“Sometimes this means everyday women who make a real and meaningful difference to people’s lives go unrecognised.”

International Women’s Day, held globally on 8 March each year, is a highlight of Queensland Women’s Week.

“Everyone has a role to play in creating a supportive and inclusive environment where women and girls can succeed.”

Nominations close 5pm Monday February 27.

Master Weaver: Internationally renowned textile artist Kay Faulkner is visiting Isaac this March.

“Participants will use hand woven fabric, hand dyed paper and board to create their own textile masterpiece.”

Ms Faulkner said universality of design is the focus of her exhibition.

“Wherever a crafted pattern appears, it’s the result of someone’s personal endeavour.

“It bears the signature of the maker’s hand, expressing the universality of the creator… across media and disciplines, without boundaries.”

“With a working life based around family commitments, I understand now that I have been constantly self-innovating and upcycling throughout my career.

First of all let’s just say that 2017 has had a rocky start on the crime and behaviour front for the Clermont township. A few intense incidents have been investigated and are still under investigation with members of the Moranbah Criminal Investigations Branch regular visitors to the town. These incidents have involved a lot of inquiries and interviews with locals.

I am happy to report most people cooperated and provided valuable information. This is how police work is done, a complaint is made or matter reported to police, we investigate to a conclusion, whatever that may be. That is the purpose of our existence.

What I don’t like to see is people commenting on incidents reported on Facebook. Facebook is not the reporting platform for the Queensland Police Service.

The reporting mechanism is Police link on 131 444, the local police station or just wave us down in the street.

Police do not generally monitor Facebook, but it seems that a lot of people are doing their own investigations via Facebook without any thought for later on down the track. A lot of people are also having a big rant on Facebook and other media platforms about something not being done about this or that. Again this is not productive. If you have an issue about a noisy party at 10pm, then ring at 10pm, not whine about it for the next few days and put comments on Facebook about the noise and how nobody is doing anything about it. We are the authority to make the decisions on investigations. If you go ahead and investigate yourself you can permanently damage any investigation we may conduct by contamination and giving up any minute amount of evidence to any suspects cheaply. So to reiterate report crime to POLICE in whatever shape or form it may be and leave the relationship woes, crazy cats, screaming goats or whatever else to media platforms.

Recent happenings at the tennis courts with a break in occurring to the main building and courts with the offenders spraying a fire extinguisher around the complex. A very messy clean-up. Suspects have been nominated to police and we are following that up.

That’s right no fine for them straight to court. There are a few more riding around town that when caught will suffer the same fate. Their days are numbered.

Some P-Platers are getting to the ridiculous stage when driving around town. My staff and I are very obliging to these few that spoil it for everyone else and are dishing out some pretty significant fines. The problem is these fines do not seem to be sinking into the brain pans of the offenders.

Rest assured we will continue to hound them until they become newly crowned pedestrians walking the streets dreaming of the days they can drive once more.

Some of the targeted offences are mobile phone use, not having their P plates displayed, not carrying their licence at all times and having too many passengers after 11pm at night that are not related to them or over 25. It takes so long to get a licence, respect it and you will keep it a lot longer.

Behaviour at the pubs by patrons is getting back to the bad old days. Fighting is now slapped with a $750 fine and a banning notice or a court appearance if you want to see the magistrate. Taking drinks from the pub and walking away will also see a couple of hundred dollar fine. I am not against anybody having a good time, never have been, but more often than not, someone else’s night is going to be ruined by those few that try it on.

The counter will be mostly closed between 10 March and 24 March, so if you need anything done, weapons or drivers licence, get it done beforehand.

Anyway that’s enough for now. Hope everyone has a cool summer for the rest of it and see you around the town.

We have recently lost both lady police officers from town but I am recruiting replacements as I type.

Until next time, The Sarge.

Recent suspects caught riding motorbikes with no licences, registration and so forth will be appearing in the April sittings of court.
