The Clermont Show Committee is very excited to introduce

more junior competitions to this year’s Clermont Show – The

Isaac Region’s Show.

A Junior Rural Ambassador and Mini Rural Ambassador will

be new categories to the 2016 Rural Ambassador competition,

while a Mini Miss Showgirl will be sashed in the 2016 Isaac

Region Miss Showgirl Competition.

The Junior Rural Ambassador category is open to both male

and female entrants and has an age bracket of 15-20 years

for eligibility, while the Mini categories in both the Rural

Ambassador and Miss Showgirl competitions invite children

(young boys or girls) in primary school grades 3 to 6 to enter

and become involved.

2015 Miss Showgirl, April Roth said, “I encourage youth from

the whole Isaac Region to participate in the competitions.

I wanted to introduce the new categories to enable youth

in the area to become more involved in the Show. I enjoyed

participating in the Miss Showgirl competition as I was able to

get involved more within the Clermont Community and meet

new people.”

2015 Rural Ambassador Jake Kennedy, the Central Highlands

Show region state finalist, said that he “gained confidence and

leadership skills from participating in the competition.”

The interviews and judging for Senior, Junior and Mini

Miss Showgirls, and Rural Ambassadors will take place on

Saturday April 23, at the Heritage Building, Clermont

Showgrounds.

Announcement of winners and presentations will be that night,

at Clermont Show’s first Woolshed Ball.

We wonder what will happen in the Woolshed…

Exceptional event showcases a woman’s touch

The sparkling venue, inspiring speakers and local gifts all showcased what ‘A Woman’s Touch’ achieves at Isaac Regional Council’s Women’s Week event.

Acting CEO Aaron Johansson said more than 100 women attended the special evening in Clermont at Lotta Latte’s on Friday night.

“Women connected, were entertained and inspired by the five presenters personal and professional achievements.

“Guest speakers encouraged women to find their passion, reach for their dreams, grasp opportunities and to base their businesses on their values and life philosophy.”

Mr Johansson said event goers were able to relax and enjoy each other’s company in a empowering atmosphere with great food, music and local gifts.

International Women’s Day, March 8 is the highlight of Queensland Women’s Week, March 7-13.

This event wrapped up a week of celebrations around the region supported through the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services Community Drought Support Packages.

Inspiring speakers: A Woman’s Touch presenters Jess Hodge, Katie Crews, Joanne Knobel and Deb McLucas.

Candice Jenkins, Natasha Folpp, Carley Smith, Carley Rogers, Di Rogers and Codie Noman.

Another week has gone by. Cannot believe we are in Autumn already, the only difference is the air conditioners are not running as much! But seriously it is still keeping warm and with the amount of people hiking around the area it is important to keep well hydrated and take plenty of water for your adventure. This means enough for you and your party and then some. An old trick we had from our farming days as kids is drink your water at normal temperature. If you have it cold, you will drink it way too fast and be in the bushes half the time. Remember my previous message, only hike on land your allowed to, not want to!

During the week a stolen car was located in Clermont. Something was suspicious about it to some local lads when they found it at the Showgrounds. There were two different plates, one NSW and one QLD.

Anyway to cut a long story short the bloke was wanted on a return to prison warrant. We added some extra charges such as stealing the car and the number plates. Some ladies were happy to get their plates back as they were stolen from a nursing home in Ayr, where they work. Anyway the moral of this story is report anything suspicious, may not be anything in it but there could be.

Reported incidents of property being stolen from the rear of utilities again. Please lock your stuff away particularly if your going to be away from your vehicle. Think of your tools as cash, would you leave $5000 cash on the back of your ute expecting people to just walk passed? I think not. Plenty of good tool boxes available with locks of good quality to secure your stuff. Also remember to hide away valuables particularly when going on trips away. There is nothing worse than having your wallet stolen miles from home.

Anyway that’s it for now.

Quick joke - An Irish man at the scene of a crime is absolutely going off his trolley at the Sergeant. When asked what’s wrong the man replies that he has a serious crime and police are not taking it seriously pointing at the K9 officer with his dog. “How do you expect to find the robber if you send me a blind policemen?” (By the way I like Irish people).

Please keep safe and have good Easter break if I don’t see you before hand.

QCoal Community Dental Service bringing bright smiles to ClermontResidents of Clermont and the surrounding areas are encouraged to book an appointment with the QCoal Community Dental Service during its visit from Monday 14 March.

This free service, delivered by the Royal Flying Doctor Service, will be in Clermont March 14 – 24.

Comprising two dental surgeries in a purpose-built semi-trailer, the service provides dental care and treatment in communities where there is limited access to oral health services. The service is funded by the independently owned Queensland mining company QCoal Group through the QCoal Foundation. Anyone can make an appointment, and there is no out-of-pocket cost for patients.

QCoal Group Managing Director Christopher Wallin said the service aimed to bring quality oral health care to people in rural and remote communities.

“QCoal Foundation was established to enrich rural and remote communities, and I know from talking to our own employees and their families that a lack of access to dental care is a major concern for them,” Mr Wallin said.

“Thanks to this service, they can now get the care they need on their doorstep, free of charge,” he said.

RFDS State Services Manager, Lauren Jesberg said the partnership between the RFDS and the QCoal Foundation was last year extended for another three years and represents a significant win for those living and working in rural and remote communities where access to dental care is a major concern.

“Our dental experts can provide everything from a simple check and clean, through to an extraction or X-ray.

“Booking in advance is crucial, so if you need to see a dentist don’t delay and call 1800 002 507 to make an appointment.”

Ms Jesberg said the results supported research that highlighted a lack of access to oral health care in regional communities.

“So far we have provided a significant amount of acute treatment. The data we’ve collected well and truly supports the need for the service which has been made possible by QCoal Foundation,” she said.

Together, the Flying Doctor and QCoal Foundation will continue to look at ways to enhance the service and partner with Government to ensure the people who live in rural and remote Queensland have access to the same level of oralhealth care as their metropolitan counterparts.
