ANZAC DAY SPECIAL ANZAC Day Kenilworth & District

A very nice touch was introduced by the Show Committee with tea and ANZAC biscuits afterwards.

The Kenilworth Bowls Club held their usual social bowls, multi raffle and TwoUp followed by evening karaoke. All monies raised from this very successful day have been donated to the Sunshine Coast Legacy.

“Lest We Forget”

Kenilworth Masonic ANZAC Commemorative Service

K

enilworth Masonic Lodge opened their doors to members of the community to attend their ANZAC Service after their Lodge meeting on Thursday 23 April.

F

or many of the residents of Kenilworth and District, ANZAC Day began well before dawn, in order to prepare the mountain of donated sausages, tea and coffee consumed at the free breakfast in Kenilworth Town Park. It didn’t stop until the Karaoke finished at the Bowls Club.

In brilliant autumn sunshine, the parade was led by two veterans of the Queensland Submariners Association, carrying the Association’s original banner. The Girls Brigade, Pony Club, Kenilworth Community College, Kenilworth First Response and SES, local folks, visitors, and Foxy were applauded by the onlookers all the way to the ANZAC Memorial.

Blair Meldrum opened the proceedings with his Chairperson’s address, in which he paid respect to his predecessor, the late Mal Langston, who after a long illness, had been laid to rest a few days earlier.

Guest Speaker, Cr Paul Tatton gave a very moving insight into his childhood memories when he shouted from the crowd “I love you Pop”, as his Grandfather proudly marched by in the ANZAC parade.

Wreath laying was led by Cr Tatton for the SCRC. Others were laid by local organizations and families in memory of loved ones. It was lovely to see so many wreaths made from home garden flowers.

As guests, my husband and I were made to feel very welcome and special the whole evening by the combined Lodge members from hinterland towns including Imbil, Maleny, Keerulpa and Nambour.

This ANZAC commemoration ceremony is the same one that is held by Masonic Lodges Australia wide. It was a lovely ceremony with the old hymns, such as ‘O God Our Help in Ages Past’ that everyone remembers from childhood days, echoing the sentiments of the commemoration.

The ‘Ceremony of Preambulation of Chair’ otherwise known as the ‘Ceremony of the Empty Chair’ was a very moving part of the service, with the procession of the gentlemen carrying an empty chair with a slouch hat on it to be placed in the east, followed by a wreath laying.

After the ceremony was completed, the Lodge Members and visitors were treated to a very delicious supper.

The members at the Kenilworth Branch combine with other local Mary Valley and hinterland lodges for meetings and charity work. They always welcome new members with open arms, especially younger ones to carry on the tradition.

We were very pleased that they invited the public to attend this beautiful ceremony, and thank them very much for a lovely evening.

Everyone felt that Joe Hoyes deserved to win the KCC “Letter from the Trenches” competition. His wicked sense of humour showed through in his description of the ‘Pommie’ leaders who didn’t know how to handle Australians. The Girls Brigade raised the flag after the Last Post and Reveille, before the National Anthem closed the ceremony.

ANZAC DAY SPECIAL Kenilworth RSL SOS for new generation to step up

Noosa High Students Commemorate ANZAC Day

I

t is a little known fact, but there is a very real danger that the Kenilworth Branch of the RSL will soon close and possibly become a Chapter run from another centre.

Kenilworth may no longer enjoy the privilege of its own SubBranch which is administered locally, rather all decisions relating to Anzac Day and other services will be issued from another town over which we have no control.

Why has this happened? Because of lack of support.

No, I do not mean apathy, rather because it’s always been there and we have taken it for granted.

If we weren’t involved with the meaning and history of the RSL then we didn’t pay it much attention.

Others, and often we did not know who apart from Brian Smith, took control, ran it, and because he didn’t ask for help all the time then it sat there comfortably in the background.

And we forgot, except when Anzac Day came around, that it was even there.

But naturally we expected there would be a sausage sizzle, a march, readings, laying of wreaths, playing of the Last Post, a minutes silence, Reveille, and a memory of what our defence forces did in making and keeping this great country free for us to live in in the life style we enjoy.

Do we want to see our own RSL Branch disappear into the annuals of ‘what used to be’ in Kenilworth?

The Committee of the Kenilworth Hall, within whose premises the Memorial RSL Room is situated, along with other interested citizens, worked with Brian to ensure the annual Anzac Day service was held.

However, involvement on the day does not take the place of a committee which is necessary if the Sub-Branch is to remain in Kenilworth.

Therefore, a call is made upon all interested citizens of Kenilworth to attend a special meeting at a date to be determined with the view of forming a committee so that we can retain a necessary and vital institution of this town.

Toward this, please contact either Michael Pfeiffer on 5446 0247 or Kerry Falconer on 5446 0313 to show your support for the RSL and what it means.

‘Lest We Forget’.

oosa District State High School students commemorated ANZAC Day by participating in various ceremonies on the Sunshine Coast. The School Captains along with other students and staff members fulfilled a number of roles during these ceremonies including the laying of wreaths, marching in recognition of the fallen soldiers and delivering speeches.

The photograph above shows School Captains, Sarah Robertson, Dominic Kauter, Mikaela Schlumpf with School Principal, Ms Karen McCord, at the ANZAC Day ceremony in Cooroy.

The Lone Pine - War memorial

T

his Lone Pine (Aleppo Pine) was planted in Kandanga on ANZAC DAY 1997, by the late Clive Colburn President of the Mary Valley Sub Branch RSL. This tree was grown from the seed of the Lone Pine tree growing at the Cenotaph in Melbourne. The tree was grown from seed of the original Lone Pine that stood on the battlefields of Gallipoli, where some of the fiercest fighting of the campaign took place.

Lone Pine was a heavily fortified Turkish trench position, identified by a solitary Pinus Halepensis species Brutia commonly known as an “Aleppo Pine”.

ANZAC DAY SPECIAL At 5.30pm on August 6, 1915, Australians of the First Brigade attacked the Turkish trenches under heavy machinegun and artillery fire. The Australians found the trenches were roofed over with pine logs covered with earth. They clawed the roofing back and jumped into the trenches below. After savage hand-to-hand fighting the trenches were taken by 6pm. Attack and counter attack continued until August 10, when fighting at Lone Pine ceased, and the position was firmly in Australian hands.

Lone Pine (Aleppo Pine) was planted in Kandanga on ANZAC DAY 1997

The six Australian Battalions involved lost 80 officers and 2,197 men in the battle for Lone Pine. Turkish deaths were estimated at between 5,000 and 6,000. Six Australians were awarded the Victoria Cross, the army’s highest award for valour.

Although the Lone Pine was destroyed during the fighting, it lives on today in Australia.

During the withdrawal a soldier, Sgt. Keith McDowell, picked up a pine cone from the original Lone Pine and placed it in his haversack as a souvenir. Sgt. McDowell carried the cone for the remainder of the war and when he returned to Australia gave it to his Aunt, Mrs. Emma Gray of Grassmere near Warrnambool in Victoria. Twelve years later a few seeds from the pine cone were planted five of which grew into little trees. Four survived.

On the 11 June 1933, the second tree was planted with full military honours at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne, where it now shades the well-loved statue of Simpson and his donkey.

Photos Phil Jensen

In 1964 Legatee Tom Griffiths, then President of the Warrnambool Legacy, put forward the idea that more seedlings should be raised in the Jubilee year of Gallipoli from the established trees with the object of planting memorial trees throughout Australia in memory of those who fell in action at Lone Pine 1915.

Through the Legacy tree program Rob Preibe who at the time was a Cooloola shire councillor, was instrumental in obtaining a few trees for his shire. The Kandanga tree is the only one to survive.

Project “Sentinel” set up in 2004 envisages the propagation of sufficient Lone Pine trees from the tree growing beside the Kandanga War Memorial, to provide a Lone Pine tree for every memorial in the Cooloola Shire.

Lone Pine at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra

Ted and Maureen Barnes donated the stone which sits at the base of the Kandanga tree. The inscription was etched into the stone, by local mason, Ray Cavanaugh.

This stone commemorates the planting of this Lone Pine tree (Aleppo Pine).

On Anzac Day

by Clive Colburn President of the Mary Valley Sub-Branch RSL

As the Battle of Lone Pine stands at the pinnacle of an Australian feat at Arms so does this Lone Pine tree stand in silent tribute to the courage, sacrifice and suffering of the men and women of the Australian Armed Forces “Their names liveth forever more” LEST WE FORGET

Nineteen Kenilworth riders participated and had a rewarding and fun day:

s oil prices increase, what happens to the cost of our food? How far has our food travelled before reaching our table? Re-localisation is certainly good food for thought.

umundi-Kenilworth Road

The design stage of the EumundiKenilworth Road upgrade from east of Archer Road to Belli Creek No 1 is near completion. The improvements will include: reconstructing the road to 10metres width incorporating 3.5metre wide lands and 1.5m wide shoulders; re-aligning the road to help improve visibility; and upgrading the Fleetwood Road and Cherry Lane intersections to allow safer turning movements.

Main Roads also advised that some work involving relocation of affected Telstra communication lines is likely to start soon, with the main upgrade work due to start mid-year.

WOVEN STORY Woven Story is a Flying Arts weekend workshop with visiting textile artist Wanda Bennett on 30 and 31 May. The workshop focuses on teaching the art of weaving in 3D allowing participants to use a range of materials including cane, fabric, natural fibres and handmade paper.

They will learn basic weaving skills and explore the use of colour, texture and text to create a woven 3D object - a memento of a particularly special time, place or personal story.

Presented by Flying Arts Inc, the workshop will be led by Wanda Bennett, a textile artist specialising in contemporary fibre weaving and wearable art.

Her work ranges from small functional objects to largescale sculptures, installations and processional puppets, Flying Arts Program Coordinator Sarah Barron said.

“Wanda has studied, exhibited and worked on largescale sculpture commissions in Australia and Europe and is currently based in the Mackay hinterland,” Ms Barron said.

Sunshine Coast Council’s Community Policy and Programs Portfolio holder Cr Jenny McKay is pleased to see Wanda back teaching on the Sunshine Coast.

jgMVV0409_LOCK

“She ran a great workshop last year and I encourage people to book early to be sure of a place in Woven Story.” Cr McKay said.

The workshop costs $60 plus $10 for materials and bookings can be made by phoning Tricia Dobson on 5472 0222 or emailing tricia.dobson@ sunshinecoast.qld. gov.au

Main Roads will be creating a horse trail through the shallow gully on the southern side of Belli Bridge No 2 (on Eumundi-Kenilworth Road) once construction work on the bridge is completed. The trail will enable horse riders to ride from Buckby Road to Locks Lane, through the gully beside the bridge. The track will be built to tractor width so it can be easily maintained with a slasher.

Cooroy update I held my first Cooroy Office day on May 7 at the Cooroy RSL, and plan to hold a regular monthly Thursday office day to meet with constituents with any State Government issues. My next visit will be on Thursday, June 11 from 10am to 2pm – please make an appointment through my Nambour office by phoning 5441 6933.

While in town, I dropped in to my old high school – Noosa District High, to meet with the Acting Principal Karen McCord and catch up on school issues.

Jenny and I attended Anzac services and functions at Cooroy and Nambour this year so unfortunately were unable to attend the Kenilworth service.

I really felt proud of the Noosa District High music students who performed in the Cooroy Anzac Day Service – they were wonderful.

COOROY Maleny-Kenilworth Road Roadworks being carried out on the Maleny-Kenilworth Road between Booloumba Creek Road and Eastern Mary River Road are to strengthen embankments along this section of road. A temporary, one-way side track will divert traffic while the work is done. This work is due to be completed by the middle of the year, weather permitting.

Upgrade work is also being done between Fritz Gully and Jager Drive.

This work will include: road widening to provide two lanes with sealed shoulders; timber bridge replacement over Fritz Gully; intersection upgrade; and pavement strengthening. This work is due to be finished late this year.

Pool Fencing laws As part of the State Government review of Queensland’s swimming pool safety laws, a committee of local and state government officers and interest groups developed a report on improvement ideas to help prevent young children drowning in pools. The report is now open for public comment until June 5. Anyone interested in reading this report and making comment can access a copy in my Nambour office or visit www.dip.qld.gov.au/poolsafety.

Electricity Billing Many people have contacted my office regarding incorrect electricity bills during the past 12 months. The Energy Ombudsman’s office has been very efficient in resolving the majority of problems that have arisen, and are available on 1800 662 837 if you are experiencing billing problems.

In the process of researching these issues it came to my attention that the Electricity Billing Code requires that electricity retailers give customers a rebate off their next electricity bill if the customer has received and paid an electricity bill containing a material error. The error must relate to: the Queensland Government Electricity rebate; the Ambulance Levy; and or an incorrect price or rate charged by the retailer. The rebates range from $15 to $40 depending on the value of the error.

For full details on the billing code visit www.qca.org.au/electricityretail.

Pomona residents say goodbye to septic tanks

unshine Coast Regional Council has recently approved a $5.3M scheme to connect 460 houses in the urban area of Pomona to the council’s sewerage network.

The Pomona Sewerage Scheme Stage 2 will construct more than 16km of pipeline and two sewerage pump stations, connecting properties to the Cooroy Waste Water Treatment Plant and allowing residents to say goodbye to the septic tanks that currently service their properties.

Major Projects Portfolio chair, Councillor Debbie Blumel, said that the scheme will both meet the needs of the growing population in the Pomona area and will save the environmental health of Cooroora Creek.

“The community in this area has been promised connection to the sewerage network and it is great to be able to deliver on that promise, particularly as many residents have problems with their septic tanks during heavy rain,” Cr Blumel said.

“All property owners have been part of the consultation process and have been given detailed plans showing the extent of works to be carried out on their properties.

“Being connected to the network will alleviate any concerns that owners downstream of some of the worst failing septic systems may have about adverse environmental and health impacts.

“The water quality of Cooroora Creek will also be saved from septic tank runoff once the properties are connected, so this project is a win for both residents and the environment.

“This project will use new sewer and low pressure sewer construction technology which uses electrofusionjointed polyethylene pipeline and manhole systems. This effectively creates a seamless pipeline system, reducing stormwater infiltration or root intrusion.

“We expect that the new Pomona system will have significantly less infiltration and root intrusion problems due to the electro-welded connections.

omprehensive Waterways Management Plan to re-instate natural processes and features for a sustainable waterway To continue improving the sustainability of the Maleny and hinterland community, local community group, Lake Baroon Catchment Care Group (LBCCG), has joined forces with the Sunshine Coast Regional Council (SCRC) and global engineering and environmental consulting firm MWH to design and implement rehabilitation works that will return a drain to a natural stream environment.

The project is also being supported by the region’s bulk water supplier Seqwater through its sponsorship of the LBCCG. MWH has volunteered its services to LBCCG to develop a Waterways Management Plan that identifies the strategies that include building a sediment trap, re-instating natural stream features and re-vegetating the area.

LBCCG’s Catchment Coordinator Mark Amos, believes MWH’s involvement will go a long way to ensuring Maleny and the hinterland’s future environmental sustainability.

“Seqwater certainly sees it as win-win for the local community and the water supply for the region,” according to Seqwater’s catchment supervision Murray Dunstan.

Councillor Jenny McKay of the Sunshine Coast Regional Council congratulates the Lake Baroon Catchment Care Group on the great work.

“Partnerships like this between Council, the LBCCG and MWH working together to restore our waterways and environmental lands are a great asset to our community,” Councillor McKay said.

The Plan is set to be launched on the 31 May and the Maleny community is invited to get involved, with a market day to be held in Tesch Park in Maleny’s main street in support of the project.

Local businesses and community members interested in getting further involved with the project should contact Suzanne Connor on 07 3510 7527.

MARY VALLEY Mary Valley Cup (Imbil vs Kandanga) Round 1 Results!

There were a number of members of both the Witta and Imbil Clubs to rally on their boys, as most of the boys had not played competi­tion tennis before. It was a great supportive atmosphere with plenty of close games to bring out the best of their playing ability!

he friendly Mary Valley Cup competition (Imbil vs Kandanga) commenced its first round at the Imbil Tennis Club on Sunday 10 May 2009 on a glorious Mother’s Day afternoon. The Imbil township was pumping with action and excitement with a Fun Bowls Day next to the Tennis Club, a car rally in full swing and helicopters hovering over tracking the racing cars.

Witta won the Trophy for coming first but that was by the narrowest of margins of 5 sets to 4 and the games were 38 to Witta and 36 to Imbil.

T

The Imbil Tennis Club had its own buzzing atmosphere with so many close games coming to the final point to decide the victory doubles teams. The final score at the end of Round One has shown how close the competition is! 35 to 36. Imbil finished in front but experience shows this is not an indication of who will win the Mary Valley Cup. The next round will be held at the Kandanga Tennis Club on Sunday 17 May. Congratulations to our Players of the Day - Dave Maddaford and Belinda Greer, one of Imbil’s amazing mothers keeping one eye on the game and the other on her four little children and breastfeeding in between sets.

Talent Shines through at Mary Valley Polo

nternational horsepower was on show as Gympie Mary Valley Polo Club (GMVPC) completed its first tournament for the season last weekend. The Shine Lawyers sponsored “Shiners” team ran out winners. The two-week tournament culminated in an epic final between Gympie Outdoor Power Equipment & The Shiners. The hard-fought match saw the lead change in every one of the 4 chukkas.

A last-minute goal to exciting Polocrosse convert, and man of the match, 18 year old, Beau Moore tipped the scales to the Lawyers. Captain Tim Scott from Amamoor, the Gold Coast’s Simone Quilligan and sixteen year-old Kandanga resident Sarah Simpson proved too tough for Outdoor Power’s Brett Hansen, Phil Dowling, Danny Cook and Chris Leacy.

The weekend belonged to Moore however, especially when riding Nadine Newman-Dempster imported thoroughbred polocrosse mare “Shania”.

“Beau just outplayed the opposition on some smoking ponies” said Club President Jack Millbank in the presentation speech.

S

GMVPC’s next major tournament is the Dowling Cup on June 6 & 7. With members from Bundaberg to the Gold Coast, west to Goomeri and across the Sunshine Coast and hinterland, GMVPC is now Queensland’s fastest growing Polo Club. For more details on how to get involved with polo in the region, see www.sunshinecoastpolo.com.au.

unday 3 May, Imbil sporting their new club shirts and caps ventured down to Witta Tennis Club for this year’s 1st Junior Tennis Challenge Ages ranged from 10 years to 15 year old boys and what great spirit the games were played.

And of course the umpires were without doubt on top of the game, multi-tasking with scoring, organ­izing the games and ball boys.

T

he Belli Hall recently held a very successful carboot sale. A big thank you to everyone involved and the stallholders for their support.

Watch this paper or our website www.bellihall.com for the date of the next carboot sale.

According to Lenore, “As those involved in genealogy are aware it is the patient but continuous search that often turns up those ‘lost branches’ from the family tree. The Gheerulla Hall Committee is delighted that our community website could provide the link for this family history search.”

Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is on this Thursday 28 May 9.30am and we look forward to seeing you all there for a fun morning of entertainment, competitions, raffles etc. and of course a good cuppa with friends. Entry is gold coin donation only.

The Gheerulla community applied for the Gheerulla domain name: www.gheerulla.qld.au through non-profit organisation .au Community Domains. All over Australia .au Community Domains has helped communities find their home online.

By viewing the comprehensive Cemetery section of the website, the Darwin man was able to trace his family back to early settlement in the Kenilworth, Queensland district.

dancers ID wanted !

According to Lenore Meldrum of the Gheerulla Hall Committee, this person discovered that when his family settled in the region, they had mysteriously changed their name, “There are a number of local myths as to the reason for this name change, one being that the settler himself knew/rode with the Kelly Gang. Whatever the reason this family had cut themselves off from relatives in distant places.”

have undertaken riparian habitat restoration. Cod prefer large shady pools with submerged logs on which they feed and breed. It is illegal to remove Mary River Cod from the waterways of the Mary Catchment.

P

reparations are under way to celebrate “The Valley Q150 Ball” to be held in the Kandanga Hall on Saturday 26 September 2009. This event will capture the four themes of history, people, culture and future.

A steering committee has been formed to ensure we celebrate with pride our heritage and culture. So much entertainment is packed into this night of celebrations.

Guest chefs will serve cocktails at sunset followed by a banquet of authentic Queensland flavours. Music will be

by Sneeky Pete with a special performance by a local school ensemble. Dress is black tie and the night is fully licensed.

The rest of the fingerlings bred at the Hatchery are released into impoundments throughout south east Queensland, where anglers may still take or possess one Mary River Cod greater than 50cm in length.

For more information on the breeding program for this top order aquatic predator, take the free boat trip to the hatchery for a self guided tour during the Noosa Festival of Water.

The night endeavours to create excitement, interest and pride to provide a strong connection for the Mary Valley as part of Queensland.

The culture and heritage of the Mary Valley will be kept alive with the unveiling of a Mary Valley mural prepared by local artists. The mural will compose of twelve panels that will link together to form a single narrative, allowing each panel to be used separately or linked together for smaller or larger displays.

If anybody has any Heritage History to contribute to this project, please contact Roger Hogg on 5484 5006 or 0407 572 617 or the Kandanga Information Centre on 5488 4605.

Keep focused to our page for further development of this outstanding project and celebration.

Noosa

hings are looking up for the endangered Mary River Cod at the Noosa & District Community Hatchery. Demolished in a storm in December 2007, the rebuilt and refurbished hatchery now features new fibreglass tanks to house the brood stock, recirculated water tanks and new fingerling troughs.

The hatchery is currently accommodating sixteen brood stock which were collected from a number of waterways throughout the Mary including the Obi Obi and Six Mile Creeks and the Mary River. The Department of Primary Industry and Fisheries assists with the collection of brood stock, and maintains an interest in the captive breeding program.

Around this time of year, the broodstock are transferred to an external pond, where they will wait for the water temperature to rise to about 16-180C before mating and laying eggs in specially provided artificial breeding habitats. Last year, close to 45,000 fingerlings were produced, some for release back into waterways in the Mary Catchment, particularly in areas where landholders

T

he 2009 Noosa Festival of Water kicks off at 10 am at the Lake Macdonald Amphitheatre and Noosa Botanic Gardens, offering a range of attractions and activities suitable for all ages. It’s hard to imagine a better way to spend a Sunday than sitting at the Greek style amphitheatre enjoying top quality entertainment with Lake Macdonald as the backdrop.

This is the Festival’s fifth year showcasing the Lake and Gardens, and highlighting our need to protect and conserve our natural assets. This year the Festival also aims to help Noosa Biosphere residents better understand the relationship between humans and the Biosphere.

There’s musical entertainment in the Amphitheatre including local favourites the Famous Jimmies, the Noosa Concert Band, Pomona A Capella Choir and the Lake Mac Pipers. The Amphitheatre will also feature a presentation from Martin Fingland of Geckoes Wildlife, with a selection of his native species, usually including a very large carpet snake! Geckoes Wildlife will also have a display of live native creatures at the Festival, many of which are native to our Biosphere.

Free boat tours to the Noosa Hatchery and Water Treatment plant are again on offer, as is free canoeing

Environmental displays include Noosa Landcare who’ll provide two free trees to Biosphere residents with a current rate notice, the Mary River Catchment Committee, who are offering a free basic water testing service to residents who bring a sample of their creek, dam or bore water, and Noosa Parks who’ll be asking “What Bird is that?”

Kids can enjoy free face painting and create their own artworks in the Arting About marquee with Lyn McCrea and her team, where a large mural of the Lake will be replenished with wildlife.

A range of refreshments and wine tasting will be available or bring a picnic lunch and enjoy one of many tranquil sites in the Botanic Gardens. Both the Gardens and the Amphitheatre are wheelchair accessible.

Pick up a free copy of the Festival Program on the day for full details of all the activities and displays on offer this year.

The 2009 Noosa Festival of Water is supported by Sunshine Coast Regional Council, the Burnett Mary Regional Group, Seqwater, Noosa & District Landcare and the Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee. We look forward to seeing you there!

OUR COMMUNITY Students Focus on Mother’s Day N o Titration Skills festivities at Upper osa

Y

ear 12 Chemistry students at Noosa District State High School have been refining their titration skills as part of their unit of study involving acids and bases. These important skills will allow the students to determine the concentration of a solution by using another solution of known molarity. Students have used relevant glassware such as pipettes, burettes and volumetric flasks.

As part of the “Chemistry of pHood” unit, students have performed a number of practical activities associated with their selected topic. While some students have been studying the acid content in carbonated beverages, others have elected to study the acetic acid concentration in different types of vinegars. Another student has studied the viability of using red cabbage as a natural dye.

he dynamic team of the Upper Mary Valley Care put on a special day for the Interbellum Generation, the G.I. also called the Great Generation, the silent Generation and a few Baby Boomers for Mothers Day. A great lunch was provided, games were played and stories were told. A fabulous day was enjoyed by everybody and there was no sign of slowing down on that day. Thanks to the organizers and everybody who helped making this a great day.

As part of the assessment for this unit, students will be required to submit a scientific report which outlines their hypothesis, experimental procedure and results.

The students will also need to critique their method and comment on the validity of the collected data.

The attached photographs show students in action. James is studying acetic acid content in vinegar. Brendan is studying the changes in pH when carbonated beverages go ‘flat’. Lucy is investigating the use of red cabbage as a natural dye.

NOTICE - GHEERULLA HALL & RECREATION GROUNDS

It may not be generally known, but the grounds and buildings, including the tennis courts, at Gheerulla are owned by the Gheerulla Hall and Recreation Assoc. Inc. As such, it is private property owned by the community with the committee of the Association responsible for the maintenance of the buildings and grounds.

With the above in mind, it would be greatly appreciated if the person(s) who exercise their horse(s) in the grounds would cease doing so as it is making the grounds very dangerous with deep and numerous indents, and increasingly difficult to mow by volunteers who do so using their own equipment and time.

So bad are some of the indents they could be responsible for injury to anyone traversing the grounds, as well as damaging to the volunteer’s own mowing equipment, leaving this Association open to insurance claims.

In the event of such, we would have no alternative but to enjoin the owner of the horse(s) in the claim. PLEASE THEREFORE RESPECT THESE GROUNDS. Signed, Blair Meldrum, Secretary/Treasurer
