KENILWORTH'S CHRISTMAS EVE PARTY I

t’s that time of year again with Christmas just around the corner and Santa will once again be dropping into the Kenilworth Show Grounds, on Tuesday 24 December for a visit to the annual Kenilworth Community Christmas Eve Party.

This annual festive night has lots of family fun to be enjoyed.

The committee has carefully selected a range of rides to suit all ages with the return of the giant slide, jumping castle, cup and saucer ride, rock climbing wall and the ever popular trackless train.

Due to popular demand we have also added two face painters to the mix.

START PLANNING YOUR 2020 WITH THE NEW HERITAGE CALENDAR

aloundra’s first kindergarten class, children chewing sugar cane and the 1931 Cotton Tree sand garden competition are just some of the iconic images making an appearance in the Fond Memories: Celebrating people, places and childhood fun, 2020 cultural heritage calendar.

The calendar was officially unveiled by Mayor Mark Jamieson at Venue 114 on 28 October 2019.

When flipping through the pages, Mayor Jamieson said the 2020 heritage calendar provided the community with a window into life on the Sunshine Coast over the course of more than a century.

“Elements of the Sunshine Coast lifestyle such as enjoying the water, family fun and farming, are showcased beautifully in the calendar, taking us on a journey from 1912 to 1987,” Mayor Jamieson said.

“This year, photos have been drawn from the private collections of eight local residents who were winners of the heritage calendar photo

“I would like to thank the competition winners – Leonie Neil, Audienne Blyth, Kennedy Fox, Wendy Birrell, Geoff Morton, Kevin Nemeth, Dorothy Robinson-Mackay and Lenore Meldrum – for sharing their wonderful photos for all the community to enjoy.”

Heritage Portfolio Councillor Rick Baberowski said this was the fifth year council had produced the special calendar.

“Through the Cultural Heritage Levy, the calendar is produced annually to celebrate and remember our region’s heritage,” Cr Baberowski said.

“It’s a great keepsake, and fun way to step back in time each month and relive memories of what it was like growing up on the Sunshine Coast. A copy of the calendar is gifted to each new Sunshine Coast citizen at the special Australia Day citizenship ceremony, which is a wonderful way to help them feel a connection to the place they have now chosen to call home.

“Every Sunshine Coast Australia Day Awards nominee will also receive a copy, as will council’s valued volunteers.”

• Fond Memories: Celebrating people, places and childhood fun, 2020 cultural heritage calendar is now available for purchase from council’s library branches and Customer Service Centres for only $6.

• The annual Sunshine Coast Council Heritage Calendar is produced to celebrate and showcase the important cultural heritage of the region.

It is proudly supported by the community’s Cultural Heritage Levy.

• Council’s Picture Sunshine Coast image collection can be accessed by the community via Sunshine Coast Libraries.

LIFESAVERS' NOVEMBER VISIT TO KENILWORTH

n Tuesday 5 November, 2019 three lifesavers pictured top left from Life Saving Queensland visited Kenilworth Pool to give the children from the school a fabulous day of learning about safety when swimming. Many schoolchildren in Australia only have the privilege of swimming lessons through their schools. So a day like we had on Tuesday is of paramount importance. These lifesavers travel all over Queensland with this programme. Also, all the children are travelling to Noosa to undertake a programme about safety and survival at the beach with the same lifesavers.

Because of school curriculum timetables and the fact the PE teacher is only available to Kenilworth school on Tuesdays, you may find the pool is not available to the general public until around 2.30pm on a Tuesday. I am sorry if this inconveniences anyone, but like me, you will agree that these lessons are of great importance.

• Also on Tuesdays, Jo MacKenzie runs an Aqua Fitness class from when the children finish so some of you may like to join Jo for that session. It is a lot of fun and laughter and of course, exercise.

Coffee or tea available afterwards.

Sandy Goddard, Pool Manager

THANKS TO KENILWORTH HALL COMMITTEE

O

n behalf of the Kenilworth Swimming Pool Committee, I thank the Kenilworth Hall Committee for their generous donation towards the cost of a new shade structure at the swimming pool. Replacing a very old and rickety covering, the new structure will provide good shade (sun cancer protection) a much cooler area for pool users and a very pleasant place to sit and enjoy their time at the Kenilworth Pool. So many visitors come to Kenilworth to use the pool and it is a pleasure to be abler to offer such clean and pleasant amenities.

WHO WAS RICHARD J. SMITH? R

ichard Joseph Smith, was born at Leicester, England 1819 and arrived in New South Wales as a young boy around 1824. It has been reported by Mr A.J. McConnel that Mr Smith was a member of Dr Simpson’s survey party in 1843 that descended the Mary River from its head to salt water. (Courier Mail, 28.9.1936, p 11).

By 1845 he had travelled to Brisbane. Mr Smith purchased a large quantity of land on the Bremer River about seven miles from Ipswich which he named Town Marie after his wife.

Here he carried on extensive boiling down operations, dealt extensively in timber and was concerned in several cattle stations. (The Queenslander, 7.1.1883, p 792).

One of these was Kenilworth Run, a holding of 22,000 acres (8,903.09ha) was tendered for in August 1850 by Mr Richard Joseph Smith.

On 12 August 1858 Mr Smith sold the properties to Mr Charles Parkinson and Mr Colin Mackenzie Fraser. The Run then passed onto Mr Walter Gray, an Ipswich merchant, and then in April 1863 was purchased by Isaac Moore (Hinka Booma to Kenilworth, Kenilworth Centenary 1850 to 1950, 2005).

Wikipedia reports that in 1861, Smith married Maria Susanna Stutchbury in Brisbane. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Joseph_Smith Smith became an elected member of the New South Wales Legislative council on 1 March 1853, representing the Pastoral Districts of Moreton, Wide Bay, Burnett, and Maranoa. His term ended on 29 February 1856.

After Queensland had separated from New South Wales, Smith was appointed to the Queensland Legislative Assembly on 3 July 1863. Smith was declared insolvent in 1866 and as a consequence resigned from the Council. After his resignation he became a crown law agent in Ipswich, before his appointment as a land commissioner in the Moreton area.

In his obituary published in The Queenslander newspaper (17.11.1883, p 792) it was reported that the Government eagerly sought his services in 1866 first as land agent and then as Commissioner for Lands to carry out the provisions of their new land policy; and the wisdom of their choice has ever since been abundantly proved by the successful manner in which he administered the provisions of the several Acts of Parliament passed since his appointment.

Mr Smith was a member of the Church of England and contributed very largely to the building of St Paul’s Church in Ipswich. He also took a deep interest in the Grammar School and was chairman of the Board of Trustees. Mr Richard Joseph Smith passed from this life in November, 1883.

• The static display at the Kenilworth Museum for 2020 will be based on the founding 19C families of the district:- landowners − Smith, Parkinson, Frazer, Moore, Christopher Sharry, John McGinn, Edward Pickering, Richard Sims, Frederick and Albert Goeths, Edward (Ned) Allen, the three Hornibrook brothers (Michael, John, and James), Herman Kuch, W H (Bill) Liekefett, Alex McGinn, two brothers Hilder − William and Henry, Andrew and Alexander Purdon, Thomas Sharry and Patrick Murtagh, J E Pearce, Harry and Jacob Fritz, William and Henry Dellitt, William Sutton, and Peter Sutton and managers Duncan Beattie and James Hassall.

• If any family members have photographs or documents that they would be prepared to share with the Museum this would add to the quality of the display for which the committee would be most grateful.

• Please remember that the Museum is closed until March 2020.

CR GREG ROGERSON | DIVISION 10 SUNSHINE COAST

n my very first column for 2019 I declared the new Kenilworth Community Transport Service ready to roll. So with this being my final article for the year, it’s an opportune time to give an update on how this important service has fared since starting 25 June.

A total of 85 people have registered to use the service and of those, 23 have jumped on board and utilised the service for a combined total of 74 times. Eleven of those people have utilised the service more than once, which is promising indeed.

Feedback from the eight volunteer drivers pictured The service is up and running. in photo right and the service committee has been WEEKLY TRIPS GO TO NAMBOUR, EUMUNDI-YANDINA AND MALENY. very positive and supportive of the service, with the We will be as flexible with times, days or destinations as we can. booking system working well. While the service is We can pick you up from hospital or the train station, deliver you to appointments and home again or even take you to church. viable financially at this point in time, an increase It’s just $8 for a return trip to any of our destinations. in user numbers is needed to cover some upcoming You just have to be a registered user. costs such as servicing the vehicle.

For more information, contact kctskworth@gmail.com or David Coles on 0417 979 186.

So all in all, it’s been a promising first few months, however as always, it’s very much a case of ‘use it or lose it’ when it comes to this service. There are some very preliminary discussions taking place in regards to possible expansions of the service, but there’s considerable ground to cover before anything becomes official in this regard.

If you’d like more information about utilising the Kenilworth Community Transport Service, including user registration forms, visit council’s website (type ‘Kenilworth Transport Service’ in the search function) or email KCTSKworth@gmail.com Obi Obi Creek Crossing 2 Obi Obi Creek East Park and the adjoining Bonney Park are Department of Main Roads (DTMR) road reserve areas peripherally managed by Council (contract mowing only).

Historically DTMR has allowed free camping to occur at the site, which over time has also incorporated an area of adjoining private property which abuts the park on the eastern side of the creek. Camping has for a number of years occurred at a low level of occupancy and has had minimal impact on the riparian zone along the creek.

However in the last couple of years there has been a large increase in the use of the site both in numbers and frequency of campers and in duration of individual stays. This increase in use and total lack of any visitor management has subsequently led to a greatly increased level of degradation and visitor impact on the riparian zone on the Obi Obi Creek East Park side of the creek.

A prime impact that is important to note is that the creek at this site is used as a water collection point by the local Obi Obi Rural Fire Brigade in emergency wildfire response situations and the Brigade has informed Council that their assess to the creek has been blocked on several occasions by campervans/vehicles parked on the access point and the sand bar adjacent to the creek where they draw water.

Other concerning negative impacts include destruction and damage to existing riparian vegetation, compaction from vehicle traffic under trees and onto the sand bar adjacent to the water, significant erosion of the bank caused by vehicles, caravans and camper vans driving down the banks to the water, large amounts of rubbish and most concerningly, human faeces and toilet paper littering the site at peak times of use and subsequent negative impacts on water quality and riparian habitat values.

The new proposal, which has been used successfully on other similar sites, is to place a 40 metre line of large boulders partially dug into the ground to act as natural bollards to permanently stop vehicle access to the riparian zone, creek bank and sand bar next to the creek. This line of boulders would also incorporate a padlocked metal gate to allow ongoing access to the local Rural Fire Brigade for water collection in bushfire situations.

I would like to emphasise there is no intention to stop visitors from walking onto the site and even pitching tents in the bollarded area. The solution is targeting vehicle access only as vehicles are having the most negative impact at this time, especially in relation to local bushfire response. Camper vehicles will still be able to free camp on the grassed road reserve area directly adjacent.

Merry Christmas!

Seeing as this will be my final column for the year, I’d like to wish you all a very merry and safe Christmas and above all healthy New Year. I hope you all take some time to relax and enjoy the company of family and friends over the Christmas and New Year period. If you’re travelling to see loved ones, particularly if you’re driving long distances, please take extra care on the roads.

I’ll catch you all safe and sound in the New Year!

Rounding off for 2019, Rogo If we don’t use it ... we will lose it.

COMMUNITY GHEERULLA TENNIS CLUB

T

he Gheerulla Tennis Club has enjoyed a rewarding year in 2019. The receipt of grant monies enabled the club to provide sports equipment and accessories for on court activities and cover the cost of a Junior coaching course.

In addition to the continuation of ladies’ fixtures, social tennis and junior coaching, members of the local community and surrounding areas were welcomed to a Family Fun Day and a Switch Tennis Day during the year. Both events were a great success and very positively received.

After three years, Coach Rob Schmitt leaves us at the end of 2019. We thank Coach Rob sincerely for bringing his skills and love of tennis to our junior players, allowing them to participate locally in a healthy, outdoor activity.

• Carita Parker, a qualified ANZ Hotshots Level coach, has been working alongside Coach Rob, and the club is very happy to welcome Carita as the club’s Junior Coach for 2020.

• A focus for early 2020 will be Tennis Australia’s Open Court Sessions. These fun, social sessions will be held in the evening and are aimed at attracting adult players. If you would like to return to tennis or try it out for the first time in a social setting, look out for details in the 15 January issue of The Mary Valley Voice.

This year we have achieved some major milestones with our region shaping projects, but I’m especially proud of the work that council has been able to do with a wide cross section of community representatives to develop our proposed new Community Strategy.

Our region has a history that intrinsically connects with its natural landscape and waterways and the way in which our communities have developed over time reflects these connections. Our proposed new Community Strategy 2019-2041 is a product of the engagement we have had with members of our community and seeks to reflect their aspirations for our Sunshine Coast – both today and in 20 years’ time.

The collective vision of Together we Thrive is a strong common thread across all of the feedback and messages we have received in developing this strategy. The proposed strategy will be considered by council before the end of the year. What makes our community special is our ability to support and reach out, not just to our friends and family, but to our neighbours, acquaintances and community groups. We open our homes to others in times of natural disasters, we turn out in great numbers to show our commitment and we make time to share with those most in need. Working together makes for a stronger community and that is what the proposed strategy seeks to achieve.

It is very much a part of realising our goal to be Australia’s most sustainable region – healthy, smart, creative. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and safe New Year. Take the time to spend with loved ones during this special time of the year.

10 FROM YOUR COUNCILLOR

Capturing the community’s hearts and visitors eyes is the vibrant and provocative designer dunny in Isaac Moore Park. In 2015, the ‘Kenilworth Designer Dunny’ winning design was chosen from almost 200 entries received from around the world.

The concept entitled ‘Canistrum’ was designed by Maleny architectural illustrator, Michael Lennie, as an unfinished Gubi Gubi fishing basket. It’s the perfect example of our community and council thinking outside the box, delivering not only much needed public amenities, but a striking sculptural building. Although the structure has just been finished, it’s already attracting visitors to Kenilworth and generating excitement around having a new point of interest in the area. I’m especially pleased to see the continuous support from the community and the Designer Dunny Committee collaborating with council during the design of Canistrum. It has been especially heart-warming to see those who had reservations about the project now see the benefits and the hard work our community has put into bringing this facility to life. This is a job well done that will add to the spirit of Kenilworth.

Meet a local hero Lenore Meldrum comes from a long line of Sims who have dedicated more than 150 years of giving back to the Kenilworth community.

“In 1891 Richard Sims (Lenore’s grandfather) took up a selection of land at Yahoo Creek, now Gheerulla Creek.

He, along with other families who settled in the area, established the infrastructure

of the community that we all enjoy today.”

This ethic of ‘working for the community’ was passed down the generations – making the town a better place to live, work and play. Born and bred in the Kenilworth district, Lenore is a true community patron working as a research psychologist, while lending her hand to a long list of committees. Now retired, Lenore volunteers her time as the Kenilworth and District Historical Association president, Kenilworth Show and Rodeo Committee promotions officer, Mary Valley Community News Association treasurer and KenilworthConondale Disaster Management Group chair. “This is our community and if we, the population, don’t give back to it who will?” she said. “We have to support our community – it’s ours to own, to protect and to work for so that we might hand over to future generations a better place in which to reside.” Image credit: Judy Frederickson

Thanks, regards Rogo!

Celebrate people and nature with a UNESCO Biosphere Our home – the whole local government area – is a highly desirable place to live, work and play. It deserves to be internationally recognised and celebrated, which is why council is working with the community to nominate our region as a UNESCO Biosphere.

Becoming a biosphere will help to ensure we maintain a healthy environment and liveable Sunshine Coast for generations to come.

It will also allow for our region to be considered as a niche market, leveraging the agricultural, forestry, fisheries and tourism sectors. The next step is for the nomination to be assessed by the state and federal governments before being sent to UNESCO. An outcome will be announced in June 2021.

Well folks, the fast approaching March 2020 Local Government Elections will see me exit the role as your representative for Division 10. I’m not embarrassed to declare that I will genuinely miss the role and responsibilities that went with the elected position, but more importantly, I will greatly miss the interactions I had with a wonderful community on a daily basis.

Thank you for demonstrating the faith you saw in me, when I started my political career way back in 2004. On a happier note, Christmas is nearly here, so may I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe, prosperous and most importantly an extremely healthy 2020!

COMMUNITY WELLBEING H

MARTY HUNT MP | MEMBER FOR NICKLIN

aving been a serving police officer locally for many years and having participated in the recent Reimagine Nambour project it is clear that community safety issue in our CBD is still ongoing. When I was elected, I was determined to help tackle this issue from a number of fronts. The first priority was to get the local police the resources and staff they need.

After two years of petitions, letters and fighting in Parliament we have finally seen some movement on the new Nambour Police facility. The Nambour Police look after Yandina, Bli Bli, Mapleton, Woombye and surrounding areas also.

I have recently tabled a petition in Parliament signed by over 2000 locals for a Police Beat Shop Front in the CBD having negotiated free rent space.

I have also written to and spoken with the Police Minister about this opportunity. If they agree to a Police Beat in Nambour it is imperative that it is staffed by a newly allocated officer and not from current Nambour police resources.

• I have also been working on the homelessness issue in Nambour and surrounds. Homelessness is much more complex than simply finding somewhere for someone to live and requires a coordinated case management approach. I am currently meeting with service providers to find out where the gaps are in services, but also how we can better coordinate services for a long-term positive outcome to get people off the streets and their lives back on track.

• The other thing I have been debating in Parliament is lacklustre laws and our revolving door justice system. Coming from a Police Youth Club background I believe every kid deserves the chance to make a mistake and every kid deserves the best possible chance of getting back on track and having opportunities for education, training and recreation. Having said that, those that continually break the law, are on bail for offences and don’t take the hint and opportunity provided them need to be held to account and detained in speciality youth centres where they can receive

HOLIDAY SEASONS ARE NOT ALWAYS EASY

t's not unusual to feel sad, super-stressed, tired or argumentative with family at such times. Here are some ideas that may be helpful.

• Plan ahead. You may want to change the way you usually do things. Do something that feels safe and comfortable and try to create an experience that is simple, special and nurturing. Only do what is right for you. If you are away from family or estranged from them, spend the day with friends who're also away from home. Line up something festive and fun.

• Reach out to someone else. Check on a neighbour who may be alone. Make a point of contacting friends or colleagues who've recently separated or who might have had a tough year. Listen.

Simple kindness can make a huge difference to them and to you.

Stay away from alcohol and drugs. They don't help in emotional circumstances.

Remember this too with pass.

more intense rehabilitation and education. From opposition we have tried several times to get the Government to toughen up for the sake of community safety and for the sake of the offenders themselves. No young person benefits from continual offending, dangerous behaviour, drug taking and being left to do it again and again… we are also letting THEM down.

As we head into 2020 my focus will remain on safety, justice, our community reputation and a hand up for those who need it.

n display in The Gympie Times Exhibition Space and Hugo Du Rietz Gallery, is the acclaimed Physical Video, pictured right.

This exhibition provides a unique opportunity for Gympie audiences to experience key video works from the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) collection.

Focused on performance and theatricality in video art from the 1970s to the present, these vibrant and thought-provoking works demonstrate how artists use the physical gestures and actions of the human body to illustrate social, political and aesthetic issues.

• On display in Gallery 3 is Fringe Dwellers pictured below left. Hats are the ‘fringe dwellers’ of the head. Local fibre artist Rhonda Rettke explores a variety of fringe dweller concepts in each sculpted hat, ranging from the fringes of where the land meets the sea to the social issues of our urban fringe dwellers.

Materials such as handmade felt and hand dyed silk combine with found and natural objects to create original sculptures for the head.

• There are loads of activities, workshops and artist chats specific to each exhibition, including the Felted Christmas Star session with special guest artist Rhonda Rettke. Join Rhonda and learn the art of felting using merino wool, water and soap, then create a lovely Christmas star to decorate your tree. Bookings required, and all materials will be supplied.

• Both exhibitions will be on display until Saturday 11 January 2020.

While you’re at the Gallery, checkout their newly renovated shop which includes a mixture of local and regional merchandise that can only be found in the Gallery.

Entry to the Gympie Regional Gallery at 39 Nash St is free, with opening hours from 10am to 4pm Tuesday to Saturday.

TED O'BRIEN MP | FEDERAL MEMBER FOR FAIRFAX

hristmas Spirit − It’s that time of year again where the Mary Valley really starts to feel festive and there is no shortage of events to attend in our wonderful region, including of course, the Kenilworth Community Christmas Eve party on Tuesday 24 December. Whatever festivities you decide to be a part of, I hope you have a safe and very merry Christmas and a wonderful year ahead. Thank you all for your support over the past year, and I look forward to being your voice in Canberra again in 2020.

Supporting our Veterans − I’d like to invite organisations which support our veterans in the Mary Valley region, to apply for funding under the Veteran and Community Grants Program. The aim of the program is to maintain and improve the independence and quality of life for members of the veteran community by providing funding for projects that sustain or enhance health and wellbeing. The funding also aims to support any organisations which provide an ongoing benefit for members of the Australian veteran community, or which increase social opportunities for veterans. Applications close 27 February 2020. Details at https://www.grants.gov.au Aged Care − I’m really pleased with the recent announcement by the Morrison Government that it will be addressing the three main priorities arising out of the Aged Care Royal Commission Interim Report. A funding boost of $537 million will deliver 10,000 new home care packages, improve medication management for aged care residents with dementia, and facilitate getting younger people with disabilities out of residential aged care. Families want to know their loved ones will be treated with dignity and respect when they need care and I am committed to delivering that for the people in my local area.

Get in touch! If you have any Federal issues, concerns or inquiries please get in touch on 5479 2800, email ted.obrien.mp@aph.gov. au or visit 17 Southern Drive, Maroochydore.

e’re on the verge of something big in the Mary Valley.

After months of quiet planning, we (council) have submitted an application for State funding to extend the new Imbil Brooloo rail trail all the way to Amamoor. It will go over the old rail bridge at Imbil, through Kandanga, and join up with the Rattler terminus at Amamoor.

If we succeed this project will indeed add an important string to our bow. More than ever locals of all ages will have a facility nearby where they will be able to enjoy a safe quiet walk or ride.

The kids will really love the tunnel.

And visitors will have another reason to come and spend the weekend here. The trail will give us wonderful opportunities to promote all of our towns together in tourism promotions.

We will be portrayed as different villages, with different attractions, along one trail. It’s all about us. More turnover for our businesses, and more fun for residents. Thanks very much to all those who helped me with our submission. Stay tuned for the next exciting episode. In the meantime, I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable Christmas break and I can always be reached by phone or SMS on 0418 708 745 or email at bob.fredman@gympie.qld. gov.au. Facebook: @bobforthejob.

MAKERSPACE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!

he Gympie Library will be celebrating the opening of its very own Makerspace. The new facility ensures that residents throughout the region have access to virtual reality hardware and software, 3D printers, state-of-the-art sewing machines and other technological developments which will drive future employment and enhance our leisure time.

The Makerspace was built in the area formerly occupied by the Young Adult collection, which has been integrated into the space between the current small meeting room and local history room.

and all the best for the coming year.
