Monash Lodge star weavers
On Wednesday November 30, Clermont Library hosted a senior’s event and had a wonderful visit from Monash Logdge residents to help assist our star weaving efforts. Our running total is 5081 and we’re aiming for 10,000 stars by the end of March, so we’re now half way there! Thank you to all involed (from top left): Melody Cole, Daph Massey and Patrica White; Marg Martyn and Lorna Faint; Ivan Bettridge; Phyllis Massey; Jack Currant; and Laura Burnett.
About the ‘One Million Stars’ project Isaac Libraries have set a goal of making 10,000 stars for the ‘One Million Stars to End Violence’ star weaving project. Clermont Library has a star weaving station set up for people to drop in anytime during opening hours to weave a star from ribbon. If you want to escape the heat, come to the Clermont Library to enjoy the air-conditioning and make a few stars. Gather a few friends and make a morning or afternoon of it.

The original Aveling Porter Steam Traction Engine that moved Clermont after the 1916 flood
The centre will close from Saturday December 24 and reopen from Wednesday March 1, 2017. Mayor Anne Baker said the closure is to carry out preservation works on Clermont’s precious historical items and prepare upcoming exhibitions.
Top five things to see in Clermont •
Walk through history at Hoods Lagoon - The footpath around the Lagoon offer visitors the chance to have an insightful look into the history of Clermont. View the various memorials including 1916 flood markers, Billy Sing Memorial, Sister Mary Mackillop Grotto and more.
•
1916 Flood Graveside Memorial – Commemorate the anniversary of the 1916 flood at the Clermont Cemetery from 9am December 28. The ceremony will honour the lives lost 100 years on from the tragedy that almost wiped out the town.
•
Iconic landmarks – Visit Clermont’s famous Piano tree on Drummond Street, depicting the astonishing height of the 1916 flood. Then stop by Herschel Street to admire the painted coal wagons. If you look closely you might find a green tree frog hiding in each one!
•
Visit Theresa Creek Dam - Theresa Creek Dam is located approximately 20km south-west of Clermont and is an idyllic recreation area for camping, fishing and skiing.
•
Try you luck at Gold fossicking - Fossickers require a Queensland fossicking licence and General Permission Areas (GPA) fossicking kit in all areas and must comply with the special conditions of access. Visit Council’s website for more details.
“The Clermont Historical Centre is home to a wide variety of local artifacts. “From mining and agricultural machinery, to century old postcards and photographs, there’s a lot to look after. “Restoration will continue on the original Aveling Porter Steam Traction Engine that moved Clermont after the 1916 Flood. “The steam engine will be a feature of a community day planned at the centre for 2017. “The Masonic Lodge is also undergoing restoration. The original wooden floors will be sanded and sealed during the closure. “Staff will progress the digitisation of paper based collections so they are there for future generations to enjoy. “Capital projects will also be undertaken, including improving disabled access.” Upon reopening patrons can continue to enjoy the ‘Flood of Memories’ Exhibition.

Public Notices Flying fox dispersal, Clermont Isaac Regional Council advises Clermont residents Ecosure will commence dispersal of the flying fox colony camping in the Anzac Way section of Centenary Park: Thursday December 8 to Monday December 12 4am to 7am Dispersal methods may include the use of: •
Smoke machines
•
Mobile distress callers/speakers
•
Air horns
•
Water hoses
•
Small plant (chainsaws)
•
Vehicles (horns, speakers, visual deterrent)
•
Whistles
•
Stock whips
•
Hand held spotlights
•
Banging metal objects
Council intends to relocate the colony to trees on the northern side of the Lagoon. Flying foxes may land in trees in surrounding yards during the dispersal; this is
a natural movement and not the intention of Council’s dispersal. The dispersal contractor will continue to disperse the animals to the intended relocation site. Council advises residents not to disturb or attempt selfdispersal of flying foxes. Residents are reminded that it is against the law to harm or disturb a flying fox roost. Any disturbance of the animals during coordinated dispersal will be counterproductive. Please secure pets during the dispersal period to avoid interaction with flying foxes, and potential stress associated with noise during dispersal. Council’s website contains information and links regarding common questions around flying foxes www. isaac.qld.gov.au. If you require further information please contact Council’s Customer Service Centre available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227).

People just a quick note today regarding happenings for the holidays. The station will be closed for the break between Christmas and New Years as per usual. This means if you have a licence to renew or whatever either get it done beforehand or come in after the break. If for any reason you require police during this period and you are at the station use the blue phone. Clermont Station is helping out our Middlemount counterparts with their picket lines also so getting a bit stretched. Report any crimes to 131444 and then we will get a message to follow up if required. We have had one break in a t the small shed at the Cemetery where a small John Deere green and yellow ride on mower was stolen. Any information on this crime would be appreciated and a call to Crimestoppers on 1300333000 would be very helpful. One traffic crash on the corner of Jellicoe and Tropic Streets on Wednesday saw an older visitor receiving a ticket for failing to stop and give way at that intersection which caused another two vehicles to be damaged.
6
The stop sign is quite clear on that corner, as is the line and there is a warning sign earlier on to say there is a stop sign ahead but the driver claimed not to have had any warning, you be the judge. A successful day of court had on Monday with the magistrate handing out some particularly steep but fair fines to some of the people she had before her for the day. Again some people decided not to turn up. Remember it is not voluntary, turn up or a warrant is issued for your arrest. Anyway everyone have good break and enjoy having the kids around for the next 6 weeks or so. Remember to take plenty of entertainment if you heading away on a driving holiday. Stay cool this summer which looks to be a particularly hot one. Regards the Sarge.
THE
GOLDEN RULES OF
Kerbside Recycling
1 4
Stay Loose Recycling goes into the bin loose – never in a plastic bag, and keep other soft plastic out too* #.
2 5
Keep It Clean-ish Recycling does not need to be spotless – just scrape of solid food and give it a quick rinse.
These rules apply to almost everyone but of course some people have to bend ‘em!
* A handful of councils have special kerbside systems for these items. #
Soft plastics and bags can be dropped off at many supermarkets.
So you think you can recycle, right?
Follow these Six Golden Rules to make sure you’re doing the right thing.
Easy Does It Paper, cardboard, glass jars and bottles, metal cans and aerosols, cartons and rigid plastics are easy to recycle and accepted in almost all kerbside collections.
Drop ‘Em Off Kerbside systems cannot separate items like mobiles, computers, batteries and printer cartridges – find local drop off services*.
To find out what’s in and what’s out in your area visit
3
Into the Garbage Crockery, window and drinkware glass, polystyrene, plastic bags, nappies and food are the big baddies in the recycling – put them in the garbage*.
6 BONU
If in doubt Leave it out! Putting the wrong thing in the wrong bin can ruin your good recycling efforts.
