Reuben O’Leary ready to wish Winnie the Pooh a happy 90th birthday at Isaac Libraries during Children’s Week.

Clermont Library to celebrate Winnie the Pooh’s 90th birthday Children are invited to celebrate Winnie the Pooh’s 90th birthday at Clermont Library during National Children’s Week.

“Winnie the Pooh is a character who delighted and enchanted us as kids, but shared some wise words as well.

Mayor Anne Baker said kids up to five years old are invited to bring a cuddly toy or dress up as their favourite Winnie the Pooh character.

“One quote that comes to mind is ‘…remember, you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think’.”

“Enjoy Tigger hopping races, pin the tail on Eeyore and Pooh Bear craft.

National Children’s Week is held in October each year by the Children’s Week Council of Australia.

“This year National Children’s Week coincides with the special milestone for the Hundred Acre Wood character.

The week also includes Universal Children’s Day, this year held on Wednesday October 26. The day focuses on the plight of millions of children around the world who are denied the basic right of a happy childhood and education.

“Children’s Week celebrates the right of children to enjoy their childhood and show their talents.

“Reconnect with the bear we all know and love and create some fond childhood memories with your kids.”

Clermont Library National Children’s Week Story Time Session will be held: •

Friday October 28

9.30am – 10.30am

Clermont Men’s Shed & Garden - update contributed by Jason Hodda A lot has happened so far this year, with many projects being completed to help develop the Clermont Men’s Shed to be up and running.

Thank you to all of the members for their hard work and constant dedication to make this organisation a growing success.

The new toilet complex with disability and wheelchair access has been completed.

All works to install the power into the shed has also been completed. Only lighting is yet to be installed.

We are excited about our new fundraising projects:

Our AGM was held in September and we have a new Committee: •

President

Jason Hodda

•

Vice President

Graham Sharpe

•

Treasurer

Allan Ufer

•

Secretary

Janeen Thomas

Additional Committee members - Les Bones, Dan Collins and Ruth Brown.

Thank you to all those who have shown interest in participating in our Jumbo Sale Auction. Due to unforeseen circumstances we have postponed this until next year. Please keep an eye out for new date and more information to come.

During this year we had some fantastic rain.

Unfortunately the shed was partially flooded so we have been slowly building a channel around the shed to keep any further water out.

Fuzzbook contributed by Sarge A week to forget is how I would like to think of the current happenings in town.

Firstly, the partner of a male victim was arrested and charged with two counts of unlawful wounding him.

The male victim is alright and according to all reports going to stand by his assailant. Thank you to all the people that added their ‘not needed’, two cents worth on social media. People have to learn to stay out of every one elses business when it comes to some things, but not domestic violence. You can speculate all you want, but if you know something is going on, report it. All we as police can do, is go on what we are told and what we see, not what we imagine in a crystal ball!

Also related to that incident a woman was assaulted and had her arm broken. She has made a complaint and police are investigating. The suspect is a 24 year old woman formerly of Clermont but now living in Rockhampton.

Lots of people getting caught with traffic related issues around town.

A few pointers are: STOP means stop! Not roll through slow or power through fast enough for the coppers not to see you.

Registration needs to be paid before it runs out, not when you have enough money to pay it or after the police pull you over. This week tickets and court notices written for people that were over 200 days out of rego.

It is your responsibility to check, not your mums, wives or dog for that matter. Download the TMR App for rego check and it will tell you anyone’s rego when it is due, not just yours, all you need is the plate number.

Licences, both gun and driving need to be renewed also. Again it is your responsibility. The ‘I did not get anything in the mail sounds a lot like my dog ate my homework’. Everyone sharpen up a bit on these too.

P platers - remember to put the P plates on the car. In the boot, at home stuck to the fridge or my mate borrowed them is no excuse. There is a couple of hundred reasons and two points to entice you to remember.

Finally SPER suspensions. SPER is a system set up by the government so that people can pay their fines off over time. The old system was we used to lock you up and then let you out once your warrants were paid or you spent some time in the old jailhouse. Nowadays the incentive is there not to default on your fines or your license etc will be suspended and you can be done for disqualified driving as one gentleman found out during the week. Again if you find yourself SPER suspended do not drive and ring SPER to sort it out don’t just make a payment as you will still be suspended.

The suspension has to be lifted first by calling SPER on 1300 365 635.

Of course speeding is in there as always. In the stretch of about 45 minutes on Sunday, three vehicles were caught on the Gregory Highway and Charters Towers road travelling more than 130 in the 100 zone.

The $400 and six point fines don’t seem to be enough of a deterrent?

Finally a couple of male persons were spotted and heard by a local person down on Lime Street, going into the secured compounds where all the machinery and supplies are stored near the bowls club. Police were contacted and soon on the scene. The two male persons and their dogs legged it pretty fast from the scene, but were caught up near the wombat display.

One of the men jumped into the lagoon to try and get away from police. Both males were retrieved and found to be juveniles or under 17. One at this time has been cautioned for his actions, and his pathetic quite smelly swim attempt. The other is still being investigated at this time.

That’s about it for now. Well done to the Clermont Coal team in the battle of the mines. Especially well done to the Queensland Ambulance Service for treating the walking wounded. I think 15 at the last count and no, the chopper was not required for one of them. A good night had by all.

Until next time The Sarge

Senior Citizens Christmas Luncheon contributed by Danny McKay

Winnie the Pooh – the loveable bear from the Hundred Acre Wood, turns 90 next week.

A. A. Milne based the character of Christopher Robin, the boy who appears in the Winnie the Pooh stories, on his son who was named Christopher Robin Milne.

The characters of Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo and Tigger were based on other toys owned by Christopher Robin Milne.

Celebrating Winnie the Pooh’s 90th birthday will be a highlight of Children’s Week celebrations in the Isaac libraries next week. Clermont Library will hold a Winnie the Pooh themed Storytime session on Friday, October 28.
