CLERMONT RAG FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 28, 2018 Clermont Hydro Heroes team members (front L-R) Hunter Swaffer, Curtis Hartwig, Flynn Hartwig, (back L-R) Max Perrin, Jackson Brown, Corey Cavanagh, Harrison Knobel and Noah Gouge with mentor Ken Paxton and Isaac Libraries Staff Susan Allen and Melody Cole.

TECHNOLOGICAL FEAST SERVED UP IN ISAAC COMMUNITY Interactive technology, robots and the skills of enthusiastic youth have been showcased at Isaac Libraries’ 2018 Tech Fest.

Some of Isaac’s most creative thinkers and problem solvers demonstrated their coding skill and knowledge at the Dysart Civic Centre on Saturday, September 8 with around 160 people attending the annual robotics challenge.

Five teams of children from Clermont, Dysart, Middlemount and Moranbah were welcomed to the challenge by Councillor Nick Wheeler who was pleased to support the initiative for a third year.

“Each year, Tech Fest provides a great opportunity to showcase the technology programs and opportunities available to our community,” Cr Wheeler said.

“It was pleasing to watch the teams thoroughly engaged in the challenge and to see such great support and encouragement from the mentors, families and members of the community who attended.

“The teams all worked well together on the day and did a fantastic job with the Dysart Aussie Outback Robots

having the best run of the day to become the Tech Fest Champions.

“Tech Fest was once again made possible thanks to the efforts and commitment of Isaac Libraries’ staff and the volunteers and mentors who volunteered their time to help with the challenge.”

Mayor Anne Baker congratulated everyone involved for their participation in the innovative and fun program.

“The teams, mentors and Libraries’ staff worked hard in preparation for this exciting event,” she said.

“Robotics is the way of the future and Council is proud to play our part in supporting and encouraging children to engage with this technology.

“Isaac Libraries have so much more to offer than just books and I would encourage people to visit their local library to discover the great collection of free e-resources and apps available to everyone.”

SUGGESTIONS TO SOAR ON MANAGING FLYING FOXES IN ISAAC Residents are encouraged to let their thoughts glide on flying fox management in Isaac’s urban areas.

Or fill out the survey at www.isaac.qld.gov.au/flying-foxes or pick up a paper survey at your nearest Council office or Council library.

The team at Isaac Regional Council will be engaging the community through a region-wide survey and eight info share sessions on options on managing the protected species between September 24 and October 26.

Another option is to drop in and chat to Councillors and Council officers at an info share session in your town below:

Mayor Anne Baker said from August to January each year, flying foxes naturally migrate through and establish temporary roosts in the region.

“Flying foxes play an important role in our ecosystem, but they are not always the most considerate neighbours when they arrive in our region each year,” Mayor Baker said.

• Old Library, Clermont Friday, October 12 from 9.30am to 12.30pm For more information call Council’s Customer Service Centre on 1300 ISAACS (1300 47 22 27).

“We know when flying foxes have arrived in our towns in the past that they can cause unpleasant noise, smells and other issues which disrupt residents.

“We are seeking your suggestions to help us determine how to respond effectively if flying foxes are causing problems.

“I am encouraging all residents to have their say on this important community issue.”

If you are interested in learning more about flying foxes and options Council is considering for managing them a factsheet will be available at Council offices and on the Council website.

LANGUAGE OF THE BUSH SET TO INSPIRE AND ENTERTAIN Yarns from the bush and beyond are set to feature as poets of all ages are called to come together for one of Nebo’s most anticipated annual events next month.

Now in its 17th year, the Nebo Bush Poet’s Smoko being held at the Nebo Historical Museum on Sunday, October 7, is a significant community event dedicated to keeping the Australian tradition of bush poetry alive.

Mayor Anne Baker said the Bush Poet’s Smoko offered storytellers and poets a unique opportunity to share their stories, tall tales and memories through the art of poetry.

“Poetry is known for evoking meaning, exploring human experience, celebrating our heritage and highlighting the beauty, and sometimes hardships, of regional life,” said Mayor Baker.

“What better place to spin a yarn or tell a good story than in the historic town of Nebo.

“In our fast-paced digital age, it is refreshing to have this chance to slow down, gather as a community and enjoy living stories and songs from both locals and visitors.”

“There will be something for everyone at this event with a classic car display featuring in the car park and the museum open to the public free of charge before the poetry reading section of the program.”

Visiting and budding amateur poets are invited to share their own original work or favourite verse by another poet and can RSVP by emailing Nebo.Museum@isaac.qld.gov.au or by calling 4950 5471.

The Nebo Bush Poet’s Smoko runs from 8.30am – 11.30am and everyone is welcome to attend.

CEO Gary Stevenson PSM and Mayor Anne Baker with three of the four of Council’s long standing and valued staff members honoured in a ceremony at Clermont Showgrounds yesterday – Desley Jeffs, Bill Bruggemann and Julie-Ann Smith. Absent is Richard Elly.

A group of men and women with pure intentions to power the region into the future and share 440 years between them were recognised last week.

Isaac Regional Council paid tribute to its long standing and valued staff members during a ceremony at Clermont Showgrounds.

A total of 39 people celebrated milestones for their service in local government.

They varied from 5, 10, 15, 25, 30, 35 and 40 year milestones.

CEO Gary Stevenson PSM said to celebrate pure people power, Council was honoured to pay tribute to our long standing, and valued staff members.

“We hear a lot about Pure People Power in our organisation but what does this really mean?” Mr Stevenson said. “It’s our workers. Our organisation is made richer by its people. They’ve taken the opportunities to live, work and invest in our region which is helping to energise the world. Their tireless commitment, loyalty, and dedication is valued.”

Carmila and St Lawrence Library Assistant Desley Jeffs clocked up 40 years of local government service and hitting the 30-year milestone were Clermont-based Overseer Infrastructure Bill Bruggemann and

Moranbah-based Senior Water and Wastewater Operator Julie-Ann Smith.

Moranbah-based Waste Management Operator Richard Elly joined the 25-year club of local government service in Isaac.

A total of 15 people celebrated five years at Isaac while 14 recognised 10 years.

Another four people entered 15 years of service and two arrived at the 20-year milestone.

Mr Stevenson said all of Council’s long serving employees are the epitome of dedication.

“They make every day count to serve our communities,” he said. “We are proud to celebrate their incredible milestones.”

Council offers a range of career and employment opportunities for school leavers, professionals and tradespeople at family friendly locations throughout the region.

SWIMMING SEASON IN FULL SWING AFTER BEHIND THE SCENE WORKS

Residents across Isaac will have a lane changing experience after Council took the plunge in the off-season to upgrade its aquatic facilities.

Mayor Baker said, “In Clermont, installation of a new shade structure over pool filters will improve the facility operations for residents.”

From starting blocks to pavement repair, Isaac Regional Council has completed works at pools in Clermont, Dysart, Nebo, Middlemount and Moranbah.

“Isaac’s pools are a safe place to cool off, relax, enjoy water play, swim laps, attend a fitness class, learn to swim, improve your swim stroke or join a swimming club,” Mayor Baker said.

Mayor Anne Baker said residents discover many reasons to visit pools in Isaac.

“Our facilities offer fun, fitness and recreation,” Mayor Baker said.

“Swimming skills, particularly among children are fundamental to every individual’s safety and overall motor skill development.

In the past 12 months, Council has delivered a number of key facility improvement projects across the region.

As part of the 2018-19 Building a Stronger Isaac Budget, there has been a replacement of a chlorine tank at Glenden Pool, investigations and scoping is already underway to assess the aged Clermont, St Lawrence, Middlemount and Nebo pools.
