FUNDRAISER A HUGE SUCCESS
n Sunday 4 October a fundraising day was held at the Kenilworth Bowls Club to help Ken and Linda Green modify their home to care for their son Kye. The club was overwhelmed by the support given for this day and we managed to raise an amazing $3900 for the Greens. The money was made up by cash donations, a linen party and multi-draw raffle. The club also gave the Green fees for the afternoon of social bowls. We also held an auction of new goods donated by many people and this was a great money spinner. Kye, Ken and Linda were amazed by the support shown by our community. The bowls club would like to take this opportunity to thank the very generous people who contributed in any way, either by donating money and goods or attending the club on the day.

KENILWORTH WOW!
The first tutors barbecue held at Bellbird Creek Teahouse was a barrel of fun with Terry and Lorraine Lewitzka and Ross Paterson entertaining the audience with some country songs and one they wrote themselves for Kenilworth Celebrates!. The ten workshops were huge success with 101 artists honing their skills in an enjoyable atmosphere at the picture perfect Kenilworth Community College.
E
very artist should experience Kenilworth Celebrates! Arts Festival at least once in their lives.
The ‘“Kenilworth Experience” is a unique experience in a tiny town in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Kenilworth Celebrates! is a unique experience because art and fun go hand in hand. This year there were 11 days of tremendous art exhibitions, dinners, concerts, workshops with Australia’s best tutors and a truckload of fun for everybody.
All in all the total Kenilworth experience of art, entertainment and study in the beautiful environment of the Mary River Valley is almost too good to believe. For information on the 2010 Kenilworth Celebrates Arts Festival phone Rod Bloomer on 5472 3088 or visit the website in January www.kenilwortharts.org.au More photos on colour page 12

The Masters at Work exhibition was a huge success with artists John Wilson, Ross Paterson, Colley Whisson and Terry Lewitzka painting landscapes while many people watched and purchased the super paintings that they saw created. All the master artists met with and generously gave tips to those attending the Masters at Work while surrounded by 25 of their framed works. Works painted during the exhibition were also sold unframed at seriously low prices. Terry and Ross played guitar at lunchtimes and Bazza the Bush Poet and Charlie Chaplin dropped in and entertained an enthusiastic audience. All four masters donated a painting to the Kenilworth Arts Council for auction at the Symphony dinner and a raffle valued at $1,200 donated by Sponsor Noosa Springs Resort was won by Craig the local policeman. The Sunshine Coast Symphony Orchestra was superb and received a standing ovation. The $15,000 Kenilworth Art Prize attracted a large number of entries from around Australia and from the fifteen finalists “The Deep Forest” by Neil Taylor was a deserving winner. The twelfth annual Kenilworth Art exhibition attracted some 300 entries and the quality of work displayed was of extremely high standard as was the food and wine at the preview night. The annual poets breakfast was a great hit as was the days of wine and roses at the Blind Mans Bluff vineyard.

GREG POSTLE PRINT RAFFLE WON!
A
number 13 ticket was certainly not unlucky for the winner of the Greg Postle print of magnificent kookaburras at the Kenilworth Celebrates! Arts Festival! The winner, Teresa McGill of Cooroibah, was amazed and delighted when Shirley Moreland rang her with the good news. “ I just can’t believe it!” Teresa exclaimed. “I have just the spot for it on my lounge room wall but never thought I would actually be hanging the picture there!” Teresa bought the winning ticket at the 12th Annual Kenilworth Celebrates! Art Exhibition in September and said she was overwhelmed by all the beautiful art works on display. “Kenilworth certainly puts on a wonderful arts festival,” Teresa commented. “ We had such a good time at it.” Kenilworth Arts Council sincerely thanks Greg Postle for his generous donation again this year. The raffle of Greg’s print each year is one of the highlights of the Arts Festival. Thanks also to all those who supported the festival by buying tickets.
KENILWORTH Local boys success at taekwondo national championships
K
enilworth boys Adam Gunton and Cameron Taylor from the San Taekwondo Club have both come home with medals from the Australian Open Taekwondo National Championships.
A total of 2,218 competitors from every state came to Brisbane to compete over four days at the beginning of October. Over 1,100 of the competitors travelled from Victoria, more than 200 came from Western Australia as well as a team of 25 from New Zealand and a strong team from Samoa. Adam took the silver medal in the Junior red belt division after he won his first round against a NSW player in a close finish and was defeated in a cliff-hanger in the final against a Victorian player. This is a great result in his first year of competition. Cameron went through his first round but was defeated in a tough bout against a very experienced player from the ACT in the semi-final. The result was enough to give Cameron the bronze medal in the junior black belt division. He is now elegible for selection to international competitions like the US Open, Dutch Open and Oceania Championships next year. Instructor Norm Taylor said, “This is a fantastic achievement for a couple of 15 year-olds from the hinterland, especially considering that they were competing against 17 yearolds. It has been a great year for the boys who have competed through a total of five open club tournaments and two Queensland state selection competitions this year. These medals will hang proudly with the swag of others collected through the year, and they will remember the experience for a long time to come” ”Taekwondo is great for fitness, flexibility, concentration, self confidence, and self defence, as well as being really enjoyable. Our training can cater for a variety of needs ranging from general fitness and well-being to a more intense work-out for those who want to compete right up to international competition.” said Norm.

Kenilworth Pony ClUB NEWS
he 2009 season although drawing to a close still has a number of events occurring wherein our riders are out there thoroughly enjoying themselves. Recently we had five riders attend the Nambour Gymkhana on 4 October. A great day was had by all with Jessie Falconer placing 4th overall and Rachael Law 1st overall in their respective age groups. Samantha Chalkley, Romy McCullough and Caitlyn Boon had a fantastic day as well. Over the coming weeks there will be a number of gymkhanas, one day events, oldies and sporting days for our members to participate at. At our muster on 31 October we will be holding a special Halloween themed day with a fancy dress parade and a spooky trail scavenger hunt for members. The Zone 6 gymkhana will be held on the following day at Glasshouse grounds at Beerwah. The annual President’s Cup will be held on 14 November, another promising fun day for our members. Our annual break-up will be held on Saturday 5 December. Go KPC! Zone 6 Pony Club Exchange to New Zealand As mentioned, in the last edition, Kenilworth Pony Club member, Rachael Law, has been selected to represent the club and Zone 6 during an exchange program to New Zealand during the Christmas School Holidays. Rachael, along with five other participants from the zone, will fly to Auckland in early January. The representatives will have the opportunity to compare how pony club operates between the nations, ride at competitions, attend pony club camps, make life-long friends as well as squeezing in some sight seeing.

he Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee (MRCCC) is rolling out the second round of the Better Catchments project in the Mary River Catchment over the next two years. This project builds on the achievements of the MRCCC’s previous Rivercare, SuperGraze and Better Catchments projects delivered to landholders over the last five years. Better Catchments broadly aims to improve catchment health. The focus will be on improving on-farm sustainability by managing erosion issues, improving soil health, developing strategic weed control plans and encouraging the adoption of best land management practices.

Mary river poem
atch the water as the river flows Watch the trees as the wind blows
Watch the backhoe destroy the river Watch my spine slowly shiver Watch as the animals die Watch me as I start to cry Now look at the river just a hole in the ground
The MRCCC project team will work with local landholders on two key priorities:
Now look at the paddocks all brown and out of sound
• Promoting the implementation of improved soil management practices targeting organic carbon, soil acidification, hillslope erosion etc.
Look at the cows out of water
• Developing Property Pest Management Plans for Weeds of National Significance e.g Lantana, and a range of other significant weed plants. The Better Catchments project is an initiative of the Burnett Mary Regional Group and is funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments through the “Caring for our Country” Program.

MARY VALLEY Lady killers spotted in the Mary Valley
N
ow that Spring has sprung in the Mary Valley, be on the look-out for exterminators clothed in spots around your garden. Nature’s pest controllers, ladybirds, have arrived on the scene to care for your prized plants. Ladybirds, also known as ladybeetles and ladybugs, are natural controllers of aphids, scale insects and mites which otherwise damage plants. Therefore you can be sure that gardens in the Mary Valley that have regular ladybird visitors will have a helping hand remaining healthy this Spring. This is why nearly all cultures believe that ladybirds are lucky and killing one is said to bring sadness and misfortune. The nursery rhyme “Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home” encourages children to catch the beetles and blow them on their way in return for a wish. It is thought this was a way of getting the children to disperse the beetles amongst the crops to destroy pests and avoid famine. The Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife’s Backyard Buddy program provides tips and advice on how you can make your backyard a safe place for our ladybird friends. Here are a few simple things Mary Valley residents can do to attract ladybirds to their gardens: “Ladybirds and their larvae gorge themselves on aphids. As long as you don’t use chemical sprays, these predators will be there when you need them. Even using low toxic environmentally friendly insecticides, such as pyrethrum or garlic spray to kill aphids, will also kill natural predators like ladybirds. And if the majority of their food source is gone they won’t visit your garden meaning you have to spray again year after year.” said Ms Leonie Gale, CEO of the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife, which runs the Backyard Buddies program. “See if you can attract these polka-dotted pals to your garden naturally. Adult ladybeetles are lured by nectar and pollen-bearing plants or you can offer a tasty brew of honey mixed with water and brewer’s yeast. Watering your garden early in the morning offers ladybirds a welcome drink and helps their feet to stick to plants.” “You can also purchase your own ladybird buddies to help the population become established. Release ladybirds after sun down or before sun up as they navigate by the sun and in the evenings and early mornings, they tend to stay put.” Ms Gale said. Some fun facts about Ladybirds • There are over 500 species of ladybirds in Australia. ID your ladybirds at Ladybirds of Australia website www. ento.csiro.au/biology/ladybirds/ladybirds.htm • As ladybirds age, the color of their spots fades.
• In its lifetime, a female ladybird will lay as many as 2,000 eggs. • Different ladybirds eat different types of bugs. Purchase the right lady killers for your garden pests from www. ecoorganicgarden.com.au/gg.php • A ladybird in flight beats its wings up to 85 times per second. • Ladybirds breathe through openings on the sides of their bodies. • In 1999, NASA sent ladybirds and aphids up in the space shuttle to test their movements in zero gravity. • As a defense mechanism they can exude unpleasant oils from joints in their legs • Their colour is a warning sign to predators like birds, wasps, spiders and dragonflies. To find out more about ladybirds and how to build your own ladybird box, visit www.backyardbuddies.net.au If you have a photo of a ladybird or any other native animal in your backyard, enter our monthly photo competition for your chance to win the book “Garden Guardians” by Jane Davenport which is all about identifying good bugs and attracting them to your garden.

Table Corner ... Last weekend I discovered sago pearls which are similar in appearance to tapioca pearls, and the two may be used interchangeably in some dishes. Both are widely used in South Asian cuisine. This is an easy and tasty Vietnamese recipe (Che Chuoi Chung) which can be eaten as a desert or for breakfast like a porridge.
Vietnamese Banana Sago Cream
Ingredients for 2 serves: 4 small ripe bananas • ¼ cup pearl sago • 4 Tbsp sugar • 2 cups coconut milk • 1/4 cup coconut cream • 2 small pandanus leaves, tied in a knot (optional) • Ground roasted peanut or sesame seeds for garnishing Preparation: 1. In a bowl, sprinkle the sugar over the ripe bananas. Leave to marinate for about 10 minutes. 2. In a saucepan, heat up the thin coconut milk together with the sago and pandan leaves, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat down to low when it starts to boil. 3. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the sago turns translucent. 4. Add the bananas with all the sugar and simmer for another 10 minutes. Remember to keep stirring so that the bottom of the sauce pan does not stick. 5. Add the thick coconut milk, mix it up well and let it simmer for another half a minute. 6. Serve warm in dessert bowls and garnish with either the ground peanuts or sesame seeds. Enjoy! October 28, 2009 |

OUR COMMUNITY How were funds Respected Coaches Take Over G raised? Lutheran College heerulla Good Shepherd Swim Program T
T
he manner in which funds have been raised for community facilities has changed greatly over the years.
he future of swimming at Good Shepherd has just received a momentous boost with the arrival of swim coaches, Brian Stehr and Peter Diamond on campus.
In early days when travel from anywhere outside the district was lengthy and arduous - the responsibility of raising much needed funds rested solely on the local population and they responded well to the task. On April 21, 1911 a ball was held to raise funds for the Gympie Hospital - the donated raffle prizes were: a pig, a heifer and a wash stand. The 1920 function for the same purpose raised 72 pound eight shillings including seven pound raised by an auction during the evening. Mock Weddings were reported as early as 1924 as fund raisers for various organisations. Mock Debutante Balls were also held (imagine men in those lovely evening gowns and high heels?). Concerts and plays were staged by local identities as early as 1903. A 1955 report lists items ranging from songs accompanied by piano, guitar and piano accordion, humorous skits and a ghost scene. Also staged were theme dances such as mad hatter, tropical, movie character when prizes were awarded for the “best dressed” and were greatly contested. Kenilworth Easter Monday Race Days were held as early as 1904 with the Kenilworth Grand Handicap that year having prize money of eight pound. A Bazaar was held in the Kenilworth Hall in July 1910. Times have not changed greatly another “Bazaar” in the form of a Cent Auction is to be held in the same hall - now the Gheerulla Hall on Friday, December 4 commending a little earlier than in previous years at 6.30pm. There may not be as many fund raising events held in the district in the present time and the community is now able to attract more people from outside the district (with the advent of better roads and faster transport) but the level of community spirit that can be experienced is similar to the earlier times. Lenore Meldrum President Kenilworth and District Historical Association Photo left: Don Owens accompanied by daughter Tania.
Brian and Peter have between them over 60 years experience in teaching and coaching swimming and will put in place a comprehensive and highly structured progressive system of swim coaching and development. Brian is a Gold Level Swim Coach and Peter a Silver Level Swim Coach. While Brian Stehr is a well known local identity, Peter brings with him a wealth of experience and expertise in the swimming world. Being honoured with Life Membership to both Swimming QLD and the Brisbane Swimming Association Peter was also acknowledged in 2008 at the Australian Age Swimming Championships when he was presented with an Australian Team Tracksuit by Denis Cotterill in recognition of his life’s work and commitment to the development of Australian swimmers. Peter’s past young charges have gone on to Olympic and World Championship success and include greats such as Tracey Wickham, Susan Landells, Bronte Barrett and Michael Bohl to name just a few. These wonderful swimmers benefited in their early years of development from Peter’s unique talent for stroke correction, tolerance and respect that provided an invaluable foundation for their future achievements. The swim program at Good Shepherd under the guidance of Brian and Peter will offer Learn to Swim for Prep to Year 12 age children as well as a comprehensive squad program. It is also envisaged that adult fitness groups will be on offer. Diamondswim, as the joint venture will be known, will also work closely with the College’s swimming club, GS Aquatics. Good Shepherd Lutheran College is very excited about the future of swimming and welcomes both Brian and Peter onboard. If you would like your child to benefit from one of Australia’s finest developmental swimming coaches contact the College on 5455 8600.

Driving supervisors must not exceed the legal blood alcohol limit for the vehicle they are instructing you in.

ear Editor,
“What’s Hot” Bushfire Prepared Communities. Where was everybody? The Kenilworrh Fire and Rescue Brigade conducted a very important and informative evening on Thursday 8 October, “Preparing for bushfires” Attendance was so low I was embarressed. The Bushfire Brigade are volunteers giving their time to help “US” and we expect them to be Johnny on the spot. The community should give our firies full support. So I ask again, where was everybody? Veronika Spicer PS: You all missed great refreshments!

ell it’s November and the summer storms are already showing us what they’re made of. So make sure your prepared and check your yards for items which could become airborne in a strong wind and check your guttering, etc around your house, just to be sure.
For those of you wanting to keep up with tourism in the region, be sure to check out our new web site, www.cooloola. org.au. I’m sure you will see that there have been a lot of changes to what was formerly known as the CRDB and is now Gympie Cooloola Tourism. We have had a few people in the past few months having trouble with their water meter readings. It is a good idea to go around the house and turn off all taps and then go take a look at your meter, if the numbers are still ‘ticking’ over, then you could have a leak somewhere inside your property and you may like to call a plumber before it costs you a small fortune in excess water. This years “Infrastructure Levy” has caused a lot of concern for rate payers. The levy is a necessary charge for the building and maintenance of roads, bridges, buildings, sporting facilities, etc. This involves all manner of maintenance including “Asset Management”. Councils roads and drainage program represents in excess of 60% of the overall annual budget. Making roads is our major item at the moment. The major work program in Amamoor is nearing completion and has involved the replacement and relocation of over 200mts of water mains. This added work was not planned but will be a job well worth it in the long run. Wild animal control is on the increase in our area. Some of the reports are very concerning with one report of a 200kg wild pig being caught in the Dagun area. I myself have had first hand dealings with these feral animals and the threat is alarming. The cost to council is ever present and we ask landholders to be ever vigilant and report any sightings as soon as possible. Council do have bounties on wild dogs and wild pigs. Speed limits through our valley townships has been an issue during the past months. This issue has been dealt with by Councils Traffic Advisory Committee. The committee is made up of councillors, police officers, main roads representatives and emergency services representatives. Imbil water supply scheme pumping equipment is showing signs of wear and tear and will be progressively replaced as part of operation and maintenance. I do hope that you have all had a look at the new Rotunda in Imbil, this was funded by a federal grant and will be well used by the community and tourists alike.

OUR COMMUNITY Light Speed Racing Qld Junior Champions
T
he 2009 State Titles of the F1 in Schools program was held last week in Toowoomba. The Light Speed Racing team, consisting of Dale Hodgson, Blake Worboys, Zach Carmody and Nathan Brown, represented Noosa District State High School successfully for the second year in a row. Their clean, green approach, combined with the ute wrapping on their car impressed the judges. The team of boys would like to thank all of the mentors who helped the students achieve their success. In particular, Kaye and Walter from Copywizz at Maroochydore have assisted the boys with the product of both their folio and trade display. Jess from Sunquest Industries introduced the boys to the ute wrapping technique that allowed them to change the appearance of their car. Peter from High Performance Industries explained the codes and techniques required to cut a car 1.75 times larger than the racing car. Kalvin spoke with the boys about his experiences as a motor bike drag racing champion and assisted with the creation of the wheels for the racing cars. On the photo the boys are seen here in front of their trade display. Left to right, they are Zach Carmody, Dale Hodgson, Nathan Brown and Blake Worboys.

A blonde tries to go horseback riding even though she has had no lessons or prior experience. She mounts the horse unassisted and the horse immediately springs into action. It gallops along at a steady rhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to lose her grip and starts to slide in the saddle.In terror, she grabs for the mane but can’t seem to get a firm grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horses neck, but she slides down the side of the horse anyway. yb uoy ot thguThe orbhorse si gallops along, seemingly impervious to it’s slipping rider.
