KENILWORTH GRID LOCK IN KENILWORTH !!

The Anaconda Raffle valued at $1000 was won by local residents Cynthia Henderson from Kenilworth and Pat Yates of Broolo. We would like to thank all the businesses and organisations that helped us achieve our goal: you know who you are. We did not make a huge amount of money but we were able to give donations to 10 voluntary organisations that assist our community. Let’s hope next year we have more stalls and it is a bigger event so we can donate more money for our local organizations. A big thank you to all.

Kenilworth Prep – Year 3 off to Underwater World

his was the first comment I heard when I went into town. It was an exciting and happy day on Saturday and we are sure that the visitors left Kenilworth with the thought of coming back again.

“The atmosphere was great and the park is an excellent venue, especially for those of us with children.” This was one of the many emails received thanking us for our effort and the wonderful time they had. One regular stall holder from the Eumundi Markets said it was the happiest and the very best festival he had been to and experienced. The inaugural Kenilworth Cheese Wine and Food Fest exceeded all expectations. We achieved the aims that we set out with, one year ago following the Chamber of Commerce seminar in the CWA Hall where the community decided it needed another festival. The aim was to improve business for all local traders on the day and raise money for our local community services. A group of dedicated locals set about to plan this festival under the umbrella of the Kenilworth Chamber of Commerce and with the help of the following Sponsors: Kenilworth Country Foods, Anaconda, Kenilworth Realty, Gitsham Prime Foods and our local resident photographer Birgit Kehr, Easter Saturday festival came to fruition. The Cheester Egg Hunt was enjoyed by the 60 children who registered on the day and we had three happy winners. Our first ever Cheese Rolling contest was run by John Gilmour and John Pinnington it also exceeded all expectations. The winner went home with over $100 worth of cheese and the second prize was a smaller hamper of cheese all donated by Kenilworth Country Foods.

u r i n g negotiated play the Kenilworth Prep children decided to explore and create their own underwater land. They learnt about whales, sharks, fish and all sorts of underwater creatures and then they made some of their own – the Prep room looked like an amazing underwater scene! As a result it was decided to visit the real Underwater World. So on 7 April, forty-five children consisting of Prep to Year 3 children, several teachers and a handful of parents took off for an underwater adventure. The Prep children all agreed that the sharks were the scariest and the best part of the day – Joel and Jacob thought that the one they had made looked scarier! The Year One and Two’s enjoyed the tunnel and touching the starfish while the Year Three children all thought the seal show was funny. (The teachers and parents were just glad to get off the bus!) All in all, it was an exciting, fun-filled day and a great way to end a wonderful term.

KENILWORTH

KENILWORTH NEWS HAS THE BIG WINNER’S TOUCH!

ll the action was definitely out at Kenilworth on Easter Saturday and Kenilworth News attracted extra attention when a visiting Stafford couple who don’t enjoy camping at the best of times won $832,965.09. “We absolutely hated camping in the rain over the weekend but if we hadn’t been in Kenilworth, we wouldn’t have bought that ticket”, the husband said. “We seriously thought about driving away and just leaving the camping gear behind when we found out we’d won,” added his wife. The husband discovered that they had the winning ticket when a local told them that someone who bought an entry from Kenilworth News had won a first division prize on Saturday night.

KENILWORTH FIRST RESPONSE

ocal man, Bill Trewarthy, celebrated his retirement from Kenilworth First Response on April 6, with a lunch at Nambour RSL. Many of the Responders were there to pay tribute to his years of dedication. Bill has been a valuable member of the group since about 2002, and in this time has attended many call outs and offered much support to the local community. His experience and involvement will be missed by all. To mark his retirement, Bill has given a generous donation to the group. Donations are always very appreciated, and this one, from someone who has also given so generously of his time, is certainly no exception. On behalf of all the responders, we’d like to thank Bill immensely for his commitment, support and generosity, and wish him all the best from here.”

“I was furious at him for taking so long while I had to pack up the camping gear,” the wife said. There were five winners from all over - two from Queensland and one each from Victoria, NSW and Western Australia. However, the locals can be winners too, especially at Mothers Day (10 May) time! Friendly Kenilworth News proprietor Irene Symons takes special care to stock lovely homewares such as boxed Ashdene cup sets, High Tea stands, there’s well priced photo frames, hair jewellery and collectable figurines to suit any budget. You’ll always find a great selection of cards and wrapping along with all essential stationery items and school gear plus personalised stamps and badges. So pop in, touch the winner’s desk and check out the best and luckiest little newsagent in the Mary Valley. Irene, Rachael and Charlotte Symons who sold the winning ticket on Easter Saturday

CONGRATULATIONS!

KENILWORTH Why the Survival of Kenilworth Show is Essential

s many of our readers know I was born and grew up in this community and came back after a 40 year absence to retire in my home town. To my sorrow I found great changes in community attitudes. All the families in the district, in my childhood, gave unstintingly to their community – this is why all can enjoy facilities such as our hall, recreation ground, as well as swimming pool and skate bowl which are also on hall land. Why is the survival of Kenilworth Show essential? The Hall and Recreation Ground Assn Inc gains public liability insurance through the blanket cover of the Queensland Chamber of Agricultural Societies at a reasonable rate. The major requirement of membership is that the applicant association hold an annual agricultural show. This insurance enables the staging of the show. Other activities enjoying this umbrella are the Christmas tree and Chook Chase which raises more than $20,000 for community organisations in the town. Without this blanket public liability insurance the cost of staging these events would be greatly increased - reducing the benefit to the community. The same public liability insurance allows camping on the grounds. Over the recent Easter weekend 80 camp sites were utilised by visitors to the town. These visitors all spend money in the town. Consider the scenario – no show in 2009 – no public liability insurance – the Hall and Showground close down in 2010 because of the cost of public liability insurance – no campers – loss of income for the town. Other losers: Cricket Club • Pony Club • Family/Community functions • Arts Festival • School Speech Night/Concert I know that many will say – this will never happen – well we thought we would never lose our High School either but… This is why the survival of the Show and Rodeo is essential to this community. Volunteers are needed. Volunteers who are willing to give unstintingly in the manner of early generations. It is only through such commitment that our community will survive. Show Secretary Lolie Murtagh would be happy to hear from anyone prepared to give freely of their time and effort. Lenore Meldrum Hall Committee Member

LIVESTOCK REPORT week ending 18 April 2009 EUMUNDI CALF SALE • 6 April Wet conditions and a light yarding of 132 calves on offer. The market fully firm on last weeks trading. Heavy splitters Medium splitters Light splitters Heavy trade Light trade Top bobbies Medium bobbies Light bobbies Underweights

sold to $449.50 $421.50 $409.50 $349.50 $260.50 $181.50 $119.50 $50.50 $12.50 to $31.50

No Calf Sale held on Easter Monday. No Cattle Sale 14 April. Local flooding mainly in Belli, Eumundi, Cooroy, Kin Kin, Nambour and local areas caused us to abandon this week’s cattle sale. For the new district Hobby Farmers and those left wondering – we have listed below a brief definition of some of the livestock terminology and in particular to the sale of calves. A light bobby being a calf one week to around two weeks of age; Medium bobbies two weeks to four weeks and Heavy bobbies four weeks to six weeks. Light trade two to three months old and a calf that is suitable for the local butcher trade; Heavy trade four to six months and again suitable for the butcher. Splitter calves generally refer to an animal growing out of the calf stage and into weaners, Light splitters refer to four to six months old; Medium to Heavy splitters seven to nine months old; Yearlings nine months to 12 mths old. The above is a guide only and in all cases prices obtained reflect on the condition of the animal whether it is prime, in store, or is plain with variations for beef breeds and dairy bred breeds. Dept. Primary Industry requirements for the sale of bobby calves, remember, calves must be at least five days old; over 23kg liveweight; fed within six hours prior to transport; healthy and strong enough for transport; transported and handled appropriately; NLIS tagged; free from residues; accompanied by a NVD/waybill.

KENILWORTH Towns in Transition are we prepared for a world with less resource?

extent. Not to be self-sufficient, necessarily, but self-reliant: able to provide for their basic needs in a way that also positions them to be strong trading partners for the things they desire.

e have disaster management plans for weather events and health events, however as a community, we do not have much of a plan for dealing with economic downturn or a world with less resources and higher energy costs.

Transition Towns is about a positive future through processes of gathering information on local capabilities, resources, and suppliers, so that in an emergency, we can draw on these resource to help provision our local community. The movement can provide training for motivated people within our community so that they can bring skills back to assist with the planning for a lower energy consumption world.

As Kenilworth and district grapples with issues such as the loss of its High School, dwindling job opportunities, lack of affordable housing, reduction in volunteer numbers in our town’s organisations, there are a number of us with the feeling that we, as a community, could benefit from discussing ways of overcoming these issues and preparing us for future major changes. Enter the international based Transition Towns initiatives that promotes the development of creative local solutions, as people meet to generate the ideas, enthusiasm, and plans required to address the needs of their specific region or town in relation to larger scale concerns. The Transition Towns movement supports actions on the ground, by fostering relationships, communication, and caring, as people work together to figure out how to build resilient communities. It doesn’t duplicate the efforts of existing organisations, be they environmental groups, social justice groups, community care giving groups, etc., but helps strengthen the network by infusing new ideas and supportive energy. Resilience is the key word in all of this. It basically refers to a community’s ability to maintain a degree of equilibrium and health in the face of large scale disruptions.

Kenilworth has previously gone through discussions and workshops looking for solutions and to the town’s credit has ventured forward with the Cheese Food and Wine Festival. So great to see a dedicated band of organisers gather together and see it through to completion. And what a result! Congratulations to all involved. These functions can really bring our community together as well as create more business opportunities for locals. Perhaps this points the way for future regular growers markets? We write this article to let others know that there is a group hoping to form in Kenilworth and we would like to hear from anyone that has concerns about a sustainable future. Interested people living in the Kenilworth District, Queensland, should contact: Carol Miller Ph: (07) 5446 0717 Email: carol@webmonkey.com.au Elvira White Ph: (07) 5446 0208 Email: elvirawhite@bigpond.com

We probably all know of towns that seem to have been able to weather economic downturns because of some unique combination of assets, while others have lost population, lack services, and rely on nearby cities for basics such as groceries, clothes, medical supplies, even schools. Having to drive to another city to get the stuff of daily life erodes communities, squanders energy, and adds to environmental damage. In the Transition Towns model, the emphasis is on communities that can support themselves to a great

Registrations for the MobileMuster Schools Recycling Challenge are open until Friday 1 May and the recycling challenge will run from May 1 through to World Environment Day on Friday 5 June. Rose Read, Manager of Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association’s (AMTA) official recycling program, MobileMuster, says the schools recycling challenge is a great way for students to learn the importance of recycling old mobile phones, do something positive for the planet this World Environment Day and assist communities recovering from the Victorian bush fires, all at the same time. “Over 90% of the materials found in mobile phones are recovered and used to make new products including the plastics from handsets and chargers, which are shredded and combined with other plastics to make Plasmar fence posts locally in Melbourne by Australian Composite Technology (ACT).

Every school that hands in 8kgs or more for recycling will receive a Milton Mobile Reward Pack, which includes backpacks, stationary packs and slap band wrist watches. The school who collects the highest weight nationally will win an electronic prize pack to the value of $1,500. “I encourage all Mary Valley schools to register for the challenge as their contribution to World Environment Day, while also helping Victorian families, schools and businesses in need,” concluded Ms Read. To register for the “Old Phones, New Fence Posts” Schools Recycling Challenge, visit www.mobilemuster.com.au or contact the MobileMuster Schools Challenge Coordinator, via email schools@amta.org.au or call 1300 306 162. Registrations for the challenge close on Friday 1 May.

“This not only saves energy and reduces waste going to landfill, but also avoids future greenhouse gases and conserves our natural resources. “We are aiming to collect 3,600 kg of mobile phones and donate 720 fence posts by World Environment Day,” said Ms Read. Roger Sweeney, Director of Australian Composite Technology, says the “Old Phones, New Fence Posts” Schools Recycling Challenge is a fantastic opportunity for Mary Valley schools to help the environment and Victorian communities on their road to recovery from the bush fires. “As of 23 March, just over 8,250 km of boundary fencing, including 2,948 km of private boundaries, 3,080km of roadside boundaries and 2,234 km of crown land boundaries, were destroyed by the bush fires. It is estimated a further 5,000 km of internal fencing was also destroyed and 20% or less of this fencing is insured. “The Baw Baw Shire is one of a number of areas that require this assistance and will be the first site to receive the Plasmar fence posts,” said Mr Sweeney. Every school that participates in the recycling challenge will receive a free MobileMuster pack including a collection box, posters, MobileMuster Student Honour Roll and educational DVD explaining what happens to mobile

nown as “The Bluff”,aboriginal name is “Duwirri”

‘Duwirri stares out, Strong-silent, not meek; What the rock could tell us ...If it could speak. You’ll hear tell of black hunters In line and in row; Chasing wallabies to leap To those waiting below.

Others speak of those locals, By white settlers being herded, Over this end, ...Effectively murdered. But Duwirri sits solid, Looking into blue yonder, And on this conjecture, We simply must ponder.’

OUR COMMUNITY Imbil Easter Endurance Carnival story

oth Brian and myself competed in the 84km ride on Saturday. Ride start was at 4:00am. This was Brian’s first 80+km ride and so he was restricted to a Novice time and could not return to ride base before a certain time set by the ride organisers. (Brian will need to successfully complete 3 x 80km+ rides to get out of Novice and become an “Open” rider). Understandably, he was surprised to hear that he was the first heavyweight rider across the line in a time of 6 hours, 23 seconds and was totally over the moon with his placing. I completed the ride on Trinket in a time of 5:00hours and was first Lightweight rider across the line. So we were both pleased at how our horses performed at the ride. I have been riding in endurance for the past 15 years and Trinket has been competing now for five years with many 1st placings and best conditioned awards under her belt (girth). In 2007 she took out 1st Pointscore horse in Queensland for the Lightweight division which was a great honour, because of EI (equine influenza) they didn’t have a pointscore horse award last year. She is a great horse and I’m so proud of her consistence performance. We are hoping that Mynstral will follow in her hoofprints. Living on a farm at Imbil which borders the State Forest is to our advantage. It’s a great training ground as is offers flat to hilly and steep areas to train.

David Anderson Performance

avid Junior has just completed his second 320km Marathon at Imbil. He finished in 26hrs 37mins cutting three hours off his time last year. He rode Ashwind again and they also won Line Honours and the junior division for the second year running. A lot more testing this year due to the horrible weather conditions but a great result for Davy as he did all the riding on his own this year compared to last year when he was nine and had to have a chaperone. We are a very proud family at the moment of Davy as well as our wonderful little mare Ashwind. Even more rewarding for us is the fact that four years ago when our daughter Terri was riding Ashwind in the same Marathon, Ash had a bad accident which nearly cost her her career in endurance. Some vets advised us to put her to sleep but Eagle Farm Veterinary clinic operated on her and one year later (and a lot of money) she competed with Terri again and won her first ride back. So as you can imagine it is very rewarding to see her complete the marathon twice now bearing in mind it is the same event that nearly cost her her life. Thank you all again for your support. Sharon and Dave Anderson

Congratulations must go to the Far-a-way Club for again putting a teriffic ride which was well marked and easy to follow. It’s a huge task to organise such a big even such as the Easter Endurance Carnival and the rain still did not dampen the enthusiasm of all who competed and were involved in the weekend. Without such dedicated club members and the many volunteers who helped out not only during the weekend but also during the year this ride would not be able to be run.

OUR COMMUNITY Wood Expo Sawmill Showdown an Australian first

Maleny

he 2009 Maleny Wood Expo will play host to Australia’s first ever Sawmill Showdown on 2 and 3 May at Maleny Showgrounds. Extremely popular at lumber shows in the US, the Expo’s Sawmill Showdown will be a first for Australia. During the showdown, which allows spectators the opportunity to compare the merits of different mills, independent teams set-up and run a range of mobile mills in a timed event. Teams will cut both dimensional timber and slabs to see which mill has the best recovery from uniform logs in the quickest time. Efficient use of our timber resources, including their supply, is all part of the Expo’s sustainability message. Other attractions at this year’s Expo include: Stan Ceglinski demonstrating his bush and heritage woodworking skills; boutique local produce to taste and buy in the Taste Maleny Produce Store; and of course, furniture crafted by the region’s finest woodworkers. Sprocket - Maleny’s mad musical weapon of mass percussion - will be playing daily; and Jambezi will share their version of Zimbabwean marimba music on Saturday afternoon. When its time for a break you can pull up a haybale and enjoy a beer and burger from the Landcare BBQ, or sample the food on offer around the site. There is something for everyone, so pack up the parents or kids and come to the Expo for a taste of Maleny hospitality and a great day out. The Expo is open from 9am to 5pm daily and $10 entry for adults includes free parking at the Showgrounds. Children under 16 are welcome free of charge. For more information contact Steve McLeish on 0428 674 335 or steve@malenywoodexpo.com.au

Gheerulla Hall & Recreation Centre Inc. AGM Report

Gheerul

t the recent Annual General Meeting of the Association, President Val Pearson expressed her appreciation to the committee for their assistance in making 2008 a very successful year of operation. The year saw another successful Cent Auction, the reroofing of the Hall by means of a grant through Jupiters Casino Community Benefit Fund, and the replacement of the windows in the Hall by means of a grant through the Sunshine Coast Regional Council Grants Program. In respect of the re-roofing and windows, the work was expertly carried out by local builder Bruno Borghetto. There were a number of events held in the hall, with practically all income being directed toward payment of the annual insurance premium. • Val Pearson was re-elected as President • Esme Williamson Vice-President and • Blair Meldrum Secretary/ Treasurer. Other committee members are Cec Pearson and Lenore Meldrum. During 2008 the Ladies Tennis Club were successful in obtaining a grant through the Gambling Community Benefit Fund to resurface the tennis courts and do some necessary repair work to the surrounds. This will see a wonderfully attractive tennis centre, and they are to be congratulated on their work in this respect. For the information of new residents to Gheerulla and district in particular, the hall and grounds are not Council owned but rather are owned by the Gheerulla community and managed on a totally voluntary basis by an elected committee. Gheerulla Hall is the first hall to be built in this area, having reached 100 years young in 2007. Now that the AGM has seen the election of the management committee, members of the local community are invited and welcome to attend hall committee meetings, and additionally welcome to join and work toward the running of the Association. We would welcome fresh ideas and suggestions toward increasing use of the Hall by the community, such as trivia nights and similar, so please contact either Blair and Lenore Meldrum on 5472 3090, or Val and Cec Pearson on 5446 0368, and we would be most pleased to speak with you. All that is needed is an interest in the local community and a willingness to volunteer to assist where you have an interest. Blair Meldrum Secretary

By entering they have a chance to win a Hitachi Power Tools Megapack valued at $2,500. Wood. Naturally Better.TM program is an initiative to help Australians understand how they can play a part in tackling climate change by using one of the planet’s most natural materials – wood. Wood. Naturally Better.TM spokesman, Ric Sinclair, says the campaign is sponsoring National Carpenters Day because the important role that carpenters play in the economy and the environment is not fully recognised – especially since they use wood and wood helps tackle climate change by storing carbon throughout its life. National Carpenters Day Ambassador Tom Williams called on all carpenters, their customers, friends, family and colleagues to nominate a carpenter for the award. “The National Carpenter of the Year Award has been created to celebrate carpenters and their valuable contribution to the community. It also highlights the work carpenters do to help save our environment,” Mr Williams said. “By using wood, a natural and renewable material, carpenters are tackling climate change. Every time they build a timber framed house, extend a timber deck or make a beautiful piece of wooden furniture, carpenters are protecting our environment by storing carbon.” Entries for the National Carpenter of the Year Award has open since April 21, coinciding with the launch of Australia’s first ever National Carpenters Day. National Carpenters Day events was held in each state capital. “If you know of a carpenter who has done a great job, or you are a carpenter who has gone above the call of duty to please a customer, I encourage you to submit an entry on the official National Carpenters Day website www. carpentersday.com.au,” Mr Williams said.
