Gizmos and gadgets on show at Isaac Libraries Gizmos and gadgets are set to take over Dysart Library for the inaugural Isaac Libraries Tech Fest. E-resources, apps and robotics will be on display from 10am to 2pm, Saturday October 22. Mayor Anne Baker said Isaac Libraries have so much more to offer than just books. “The 2016 Tech Fest is a great opportunity to try the exciting new technical resources coming to your local library. “There’s something for all ages to enjoy like Ozobots, Osmos and Spheros for the kids and e-resources and apps for the young at heart. “The day will also feature the FIRST Lego Robotics Teams from Moranbah, Dysart, Glenden, Middlemount and the coast.
“Teams will come face to face in a robotics challenge to show off their new tech skills learnt over the last 10 weeks. “Coding and robotics is now an important part of the curriculum in schools from prep to year 10. “Isaac Libraries are able to provide another avenue for kids to explore the world of coding and robotics to help develop their skills.” The Isaac Libraries Tech Fest was made possible thanks to financial assistance from the Queensland Government through State Library of Queensland and goods and services from FIRST Australia. For more details on what Isaac Libraries have to offer please visit www.isaac.qld.gov.au, call 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227) or visit your local library. Isaac... helping to energise the world

Well a busy few weeks for the Clermont township and surrounds. First we had Twin Hills. Well the rodeo and races crowd seemed to be well enough behaved and some pretty spectacular “dancing” was going on if some could call it that. Some young people got the shock of their lives when I told them they were dancing to their parent’s music. Apparently it’s all been remixed and now it sounds a whole way better than it used to in the olden days. One young 15yr old lad was snagged out of the bar for drinking, but other than that a lot of families together were enjoying themselves. If it were not for the dust it would have been a pleasurable experience overall, but hey I have been told it can’t be Twin Hills without it. Maybe next year run the water truck right over the dance floor between songs!! The Clermont races saw a reduced crowd and although some people enjoyed themselves a lot, there was no scuffles or punch ups on anywhere. The pub crowd later was well behaved and although there were some ‘Home and Away’ style dramas with some couples nothing untoward eventuated. Lots of random breath tests did not elicit any drink drivers which believe it or not I am very happy about. Speaking of drink drivers one clown during the week, and I mean clown, decided it would be a good idea to run around town with a couple of idiots in the back of the ute after a good day on the drink. Thank you to the many people who called it in. A short time later he was sitting in the police station blaming everyone else for his issues. Thankfully he has now seen the light
and made another town his home but not after being charged with a fair few offences which he will face when he appears before the magistrate on December 5. Incidentally he decided not to provide a specimen of breath for analysis as required at the police station. Big mistake as that automatically qualifies you for the biggest penalty allowable, like I said, CLOWN. Can I just have everyone do me one favour. Check the due dates again on your driver’s licence, your registration and your weapons licence. I am getting sick of pulling up people who have let everything lapse. It is not anyone else’s fault but your own. If you don’t pay your phone bill on time it gets cut off, but you remember to check it. Do the same with your licences and registration. If you have outstanding fines and have done nothing about them, chances are you are suspended from driving. This means you have to contact SPER and fix it up, before you drive around. If you drive around knowing you are suspended you will be caught, charged with suspended driving and possibly have your car impounded. It is much easier to make that phone call. Finally a good holiday period around here. Touch wood no bad incidents or crashes. Can I please just remind everyone to be patient with the roadworks. Just like the home renovation shows I am sure we should end up with a better looking product - fingers crossed. Until next time The Sarge

We launched the Our Neighbourhood Community Grants to focus on supporting smaller charities and local groups that often get overlooked for funding elsewhere. “Since its inception in 2013, we’ve been inspired by the efforts of hundreds of community groups who work hard to build lasting connections within their communities and neighbourhoods. “We heartily congratulate all of this year’s successful applicants including Belyando Enterprise Network for their work in connecting people and for the positive impact they’re creating in their local community.” In 2016, Our Neighbourhood Community Grants were awarded to 72 community organisations and projects nationwide that focus on the following areas: •
Digital Capability: projects that build digital skills for individuals and the wider community

Employment Pathways: projects that increase employment opportunities for marginalised people
