Council moves forward with flying foxes Isaac Regional Council Chief Executive Officer Rod Ferguson said Council recognises the recent concerns of the community while the flying fox colony locates itself in Centenary Park.

“Council’s focus is to keep flying foxes from roosting in residential backyards until they naturally migrate.

“Ecological consultants have been invited to submit proposals to attempt to move the colony to a location where human interaction is limited,” he said.

“It is expected that a consultant will be appointed shortly and once a dispersal plan is agreed upon then the community will be advised of the dispersal activities that will be carried out.”

If you have any questions please contact Council’s Environmental Services Department on 1300 ISAACS (472 227).

To assist in the best possible outcome for natural migration, residents are advised to: • Not to disturb the colony at any time, allow them to rest and and follow all direction provided by Council.

• Notify Council immediately if flying foxes move to roost in your trees during the day.

Clermont Swimming Centre Works update Isaac Regional Council has issued a works order for major repairs at the Clermont Swimming Centre.

Council is working as quickly as possible to resolve the issues and will keep the community regularly updated.

The works include the replacement of the sand filters to both pools in a staged way to allow the reopening of the Clermont Swimming Centre by the end of November this year.

For further information please contact 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227).

This provides the most effective temporary solution in the lead up to the popular summer season over the school holiday break.

Some of the major works identified as part of the extensive report made by a specialist pool engineer will be undertaken in the off season.

Council understands the frustration of these pool closures and appreciates the inconvenience and disruption the closure is having on all community members of Clermont.

Charity Ball breaks the silence on domestic violence

Cr Nick Wheeler, Cr Barbara Stranks, Cr Kelly Vea Vea, Cr Geoff Bethel, Mayor Anne Baker, Cr Gina Lacey, Cr Jane Pickels, Cr Peter Freeleagus and Deputy Mayor Cr Dale Appleton.

More than 250 guests helped break the silence on domestic violence at Mayor Anne Baker’s Charity Ball proudly supporting White Ribbon last night (October 31).

“Community events like the Moranbah Charity Ball provide an opportunity to raise greater awareness about the issue of domestic and family violence.

Mayor Anne Baker said one woman is killed nearly every week in Australia by a male partner or ex-partner – often while she is trying to leave the relationship.

“It also gives a platform for people, particularly men, to stand up publicly and say we will no longer tolerate any form of violence against women.”

“I am honoured and humbled to be able to host this event and make a positive contribution towards White Ribbon Australia’s campaign to prevent men’s violence against women.”

Mayor Baker said men are key to speaking out and engaging other men in the conversation.

“To ensure our communities directly benefit, fifty percent of proceeds raised will be held in the Isaac Regional Charity Trust to support local domestic violence services.”

“The ongoing deaths of women and children in our communities as a result of men’s violence are tragic and unacceptable.”

Mayor Baker said as a community, silence and ignorance surrounding domestic violence in the region will not be tolerated.

“Domestic violence is a constant threat to community wellbeing and we all have a responsibility to ensure families feel safe in their own homes.”

Representing the Premier, Minister for Women, Shannon Fentiman spoke on the State Government’s work to end domestic and family violence and how everyone can work together to tackle this terrible problem.

“All across Queensland, people from all walks of life are coming together in their local communities to say ‘enough is enough’ to this terrible violence,” Ms Fentiman said.

“Our guest speaker White Ribbon Ambassador Mick Doleman encouraged guests to take the White Ribbon oath to stand up, speak out and act to prevent men’s violence against women.”

“My sincere thanks to our generous supporters including platinum sponsors Arrow Energy, BMA, BMC, Brown and Bird, Dyno Nobel, and King and Company, our gold sponsors Civeo, Glencore, the Black Nugget Hotel Motel, Coates Hire and the Daily Mercury, and our Silver sponsors Create-a-sign, Anglo American, Moranbah Community Workers Club, Q Coal, Wilson Ryan Grose and AECOM.” “An enormous thank you to the event organisers, volunteers and Isaac Regional Council staff, who made it all happen.”

The stylish evening under the stars included a three course meal, live entertainment by Mezzanine, raffles, charity auction and dancing in Moranbah Town Square.

Through primary prevention initiatives and an annual campaign, White Ribbon Australia seeks to change the attitudes and behaviours that lead to and perpetuate men’s violence against women, by engaging boys and men to lead social change.

Fuzzbook contributed by Sarge Just a quick one this week as not too much occurring of note.

The answer to last week’s quiz, the blind fella would just ask for eggs!

Some more rain falling around the district which will be a welcome relief for some farmers and a notification from me to would be hoons in the town. WET ROADS ARE NO EXCUSE FOR SPINNING THE TYRES. Yes everyone got out and drove on the roads and noticeably gave the cars a bit more juice around the corners than required. Somebody will lose control and then smash their car and usually somebody else’s car. The fine for this sort of thing starts at a couple of hundred dollars so everyone make the choice, pay a fine or have more money for Christmas.

Noticing a lot of people going out and about on the town have those god forsaken mobile phones in their hands all the time, walking, dancing, drinking and smoking (not all at the same time though). The problem is people do not pay attention to their phones so keep an eye on them and don’t just put them down somewhere or assume it will be OK to leave them on the table while you head off to the loo otherwise it will probably be stolen.

Noticing also a lot of people do not pay attention to their surroundings when they are the phone. If you are out on the town make sure you keep vigilant of who is around you and more importantly what they are up to. This time of the year Christmas parties are everywhere so pay attention and use courtesy buses if heading to the pub or home from the pub, better safe than sorry.

A few people getting picked up for drug driving (having drugs in your system) lately in town also. The Road Drug Testing Unit will be hitting town every other week and will conduct

saliva tests to catch drivers out who have been taking illicit drugs prior to driving. This includes marijuana, speed, cocaine and so on. The capability to test will eventually come to local police but that is a way off at the moment. This is different to driving under the influence of drugs (severely impaired similar to drunk) which a blood sample is required for, all police can conduct these tests.

The highways are still a headache for police with some people still not getting the message. Of late a lot of excuses from people about the 110 zone from Belyando Service Station to Kilcummin. It ends at Kilcummin Road intersection and its 100 kilometres per hour from then. The simple rule you should all follow is if you do not know the speed in the open country area then do 100km/h the default speed limit. In town do 50km/h the default speed limit, unless otherwise signed.

Anyway that’s it for now. If you are calling the police station remember to leave a message. If it is urgent dial 000 but if it is on the weekend when the police car is probably out and about then call Mackay Police on 49683444 or policelink on 131444.

By the way thanks to the two local older gentlemen that said I am virtually a local now, really ten years in, I thought I would have to wait another ten!

Talk to you soon, The Sarge

On the Shelf Author,Thea Hayes visits Clermont The Clermont Library hosted a visit by Thea Hayes on October 23.

Thea Hayes was a city girl, who trained as a nurse in Sydney in 1959. While holidaying in the Northern Territory, she impulsively accepted a nursing job on Wave Hill Station in the Territory.

Thea had never lived on the land and soon found that there was more to her job than nursing, and that her life would change dramatically.

Thea Hayes has written ‘An Outback Nurse’, based on her life and experiences of living in the Territory.

Thea spoke about how she came to write her book and shared her experiences and memories of living in the Territory.

Kim Earl photographic exhibition There are many talented photographers in the Clermont community and one local photographer, Kim Earl has a photographic exhibition on display at the Clermont Library.

Kim specialises in macro photography of insects. Her exhibition titled “Small Things” features very close-up images of beetles, flies, wasps and spiders.

These portraits give a fascinating insight to the character and activities of Kim’s garden inhabitants.

The “Small Things” exhibition will hang at the Clermont Library until the end of the year. This exhibition was prepared with the use of community frames purchased with assistance of the Isaac Regional Arts Development Fund 2014-15.

Until next time, see you at the Library.
