Isaac libraries launch program to grow children’s love of literacy

‘Row, row, row your boat’ and ‘If you’re happy and you know it’ were big hits with more than 300 mums, dads, carers, and children at the launch of First 5 Forever across Isaac Libraries, on Wednesday February 3.

CEO Rod Ferguson said First 5 Forever program aims to help parents and carers give their children the best start to life with literacy.

“Our libraries support parents and caregivers to give children from birth to five years old in our communities the best chance in life and improve literacy outcomes,” he said.

Children’s Library Services Coordinator Toni Markcrow said it was exciting to bring the state-wide program to Isaac libraries.

“Reading 10,000 books to children before they turn five, just three books a day, will have them ready for the start of their school journey.”

“It was a great morning and so wonderful to see so many parents eager to find out how they can help their children.”

The First 5 Forever family literacy initiative is proudly supported by Queensland Government, State Library of Queensland and delivered in partnership with Isaac Regional Council.

Wet wipes blocking the flow of region’s sewerage systemIsaac Regional Council is urging residents to remember the three P’s this year to help ease the strain on the region’s sewerage system.

Wet wipes and other ‘flushable’ toiletry products wreak havoc on sewerage systems with blockages a common, and increasing problem.

Council is asking homeowners to stick to sending the three P’s – pee, poo and paper – down the toilet, and dispose of all other products in the bin.

Wet wipes are very stretchy and do not disintegrate the way toilet paper does.

This leads to blockages in both the pipe network and in the equipment at the region’s sewer treatment plants.

The issue is a state-wide concern with approximately 120 tonnes of wet wipes pulled from the sewerage network annually, which if stretched end to end would span the distance between Australia and New Zealand.

Council asks residents to keep the three P’s in mind during 2016 and help play a part in cleaning up sewerage networks throughout Isaac and the state.

Don’t flush wipes: Moranbah Senior Water Treatment Plant Operators Julie Smith and Shelly-Ann Cottam are asking people to remember the three P’s – pee, poo and paper – down the toilet to ease the strain on the region’s sewerage system

Urgently needed are some willing and able volunteer committee members to help continue the annual Coal and Gold Festival.

This year will include some recognition and remembrance of the 1916 flood. All ideas will be welcomed and tabled.

The festival is a significant event on the calendar each year for Clermont community helping to encourage tourists to stay in the area longer and flowing on to the local businesses.

Gold Fest started back in 1998 as a community event based around putting the town on the map, promoting the area, encouraging tourist and promoting local business.

The venues have changed a couple of times over the years from Rose Harris Park to the Show grounds back to Rose Harris Park and is currently being held at Centenary Park.

The event is based around market stall holders selling a variety of wares generally of a nature that is not available locally; the committee provides the venue, entertainment to draw people to support the event and the overall coordination and promotion of the event.

Local schools have always been involved with numerous items of entertainment. Locals are also encouraged to have market stalls.

If a full committee cannot be recruited the event will not proceed this year and could potentially not happen again in the future.

A meeting will be held on February 24 at 22 Blamey St at 7.30pm to determine the future of the event.

For several years, the Lodge and the Clermont Library have worked together to ‘take the library’ to Lodge residents.Library staff select books for the residents and these books have then been collected and delivered to the residents by a Lodge staff member or Lodge volunteer.

Some of the residents who use this service were delighted to be able to personally choose their books on the visit to the Clermont Library.

CLASS DESCRIPTIONGut and Butt Blastis a target class that focuses on strengthening and toning the nine core divisions of the abdominal plane.

While simultaneously blasting the three muscles of the buttocks, hamstrings and quadriceps.

This will increase fat metabolism at rest and help slim and tone those problematic areas. Although not targeted, general whole body conditioning applies and while challenging, is more than suitable for any fitness level.
