KENILWORTH The Spider Bridge

I

n the 1951 article by Arthur Tanner published on Friday 11 May edition of the Nambour Chronicle and North Coast Advertiser he recalls:As necessity if the mother of invention, the advent of a motor vehicle in this district (devoid of bridges) caused much trouble until the idea of the use of two halves of hollow logs to cross boggy gullies.

This led to what is known as “spider bridges”, to cross rivers. The first of these structures was built on to trees or anchored with bed logs in the river banks… The worth of them is invaluable where the ordinary bridge would entail enormous expense (page 5).

The history of Spider Bridges in the area is covered in the DVD presentation “Looking Back – Ed Sims Memories of Kenilworth” shown to all visitors to the Kenilworth Museum, but their importance to the district has been covered in many of the newspaper articles available for reading at the Nambour Chronicle website http://www.nambourchronicle.com Spider Bridges were essential to road travel to and from Kenilworth prior to the opening of the “new” Mary River Bridge on December 5, 1931 as indicated by the District news published in the Nambour Chronicle, February 6, 1931. Inconvenience to residents and carriers has already been caused by the river crossings as the spider bridge at Kenilworth has been submerged for some days.

Although the new main road bridge over the river has been completed for some months, it is not trafficable as the approaches are not even commenced (page 7). This article also reported that Mr. and Mrs. A. McGinn, after spending their honeymoon at Pialba, have returned home.

In the June 12 edition of the same year it was reported that the old road over Purdon’s flat and the spider bridge are in use again, while the main roads gang is forming the approaches over the new bridge. Another section had to be added to the spider bridge, and quite a lot of sand was moved to make it trafficable. This was done by means of a working bee (page 9). (A community helping itself).

Another example of community self sufficiency is shown in a letter from Mr. H.H. Liekefett to the Landsborough Shire Council tabled at the March meeting, 1932, published on page 3 March 18 edition, agreeing to supply timber for a spider bridge in front of his property at Conondale, providing Council grant permission to Mr. Kolb, bridge contractor to erect same at £93.

KENILWORTH MARCH 2012 223.6 mm over 20 days Report kindly submitted by Michael Pfeiffer

Maroochy Shire Council meeting minutes published March 23, 1934 record that Coolabine residents petitioned the Maroochy Shire Council to have a decked spider bridge over Obi Obi Creek constructed.

Spider Bridges were an integral part of the development of the district and a fine example of the ability of earlier residents to face a problem and come up with a practical solution for the benefit of the whole community.

ALLERY TOUR An art gallery tour by bus recently took members to the Caloundra Regional Gallery to see the photographic exhibition ‘Memory, Myth and the 1/4 Acre Block’ by Australian born photographer Bronek Kozka.

His photographs portray the ordinary stories that were common in many Australian suburban households during his childhood of the 1970’s. Bronek’s technically perfect, atmospheric photographs, untouched by computer, are taken in carefully constructed sets or outdoors, much as commercial advertising or a film would be with carefully controlled lighting. Either actors or friends were subjects.

The next gallery stop was at the Kawana Community Centre where we were treated to a close-up viewing of winning work by local artist Pam Black, of the 2011 Kenilworth Prize at the art festival at Kenilworth Celebrates! .

After lunch at the Ginger Factory, our gallery tour took us to the Yandina Historic Homestead which features work by local artists, and finished at the Lasting Impressions Gallery where owner Kay Cathro showed us the latest exhibition at this impressive gallery.

A

gain the Easter Saturday Kenilworth Cheese, Wine and Food Fest was a great success. The crowds were there, the food was there, and everyone had an enjoyable day. The hard work and dedication of a very small committee again put Kenilworth on the foodie map.

A very big thank you to all the sponsors and volunteers that made the day as successful as it was. Major sponsors, Kenilworth Country Foods, supplied all the cheese for the competitions and prizes, as well as, financial assistance and Bruno Kempter of Coruno Enterprises who donated the portable satellite-TV dish kit for our major raffle prize, won by Natalie and Andy Ma of Mt. Creek. A special thanks to Lena for the extra cheese when needed. The Cheese Factory’s generosity is greatly appreciated. Also Kenilworth Realty, Gitsham Prime Foods, the Sunshine Coast Daily, Bruno Kempter of Solar Laser Productions and all the other people and local businesses that gave off their time and or helped with the dollars. Thanks Cr Paul Tatton, the new toilet block actually was finished on time and looked so much better than the old one.

Their show is a mix of riotous comedy, good old Aussie yarns, a bit of singin’ and some dead set, hand on your heart love of country sentiment.

“We are so fortunate to live in a free, democratic society” says Mel, “We travel Australia and cross our borders without having to show papers or passports. Mateship and the ability to pitch in and help your neighbour when they’re in trouble is a strong part of the Aussie culture, as is that

Warren Blee OAM, local pharmacist is Standing for Mayor

tanding for Mayor is not a step to be taken lightly, so when asked why he was standing Warren Blee said that as a long time resident with family on the Coast, he believed the Coast could be made a so much better place to live with more jobs if the economic environmental balance could be achieved while broadening the economic base of the Coast with the knowledge and clean-tech industries.

As for his political background, he is an independent who in other major organisations has successfully worked with governments of both political persuasions. Asked about his experience, Mr Blee referred to his 33 years in business in Maroochydore, his election five times as State President of the peak professional body and his time on the National Board plus his over 40 years involvement in youth development via the Australian Navy Cadets. Awarded an Order of Australia Medal this year he stated that it had been for services to the Pharmaceutical Industry and the Australian Navy Cadets and was really recognition for the achievements by teams of great people who he had the privilege to lead.

As to who was funding his campaign he said that in excess of 97% of the funding was out of his own pocket, but with a smile added it was never too late for generous people to donate. Asked his final message, he said “He hoped people would vote for a long time local businessman who simply wanted to bring some practical commonsense to local government”.

larrikin streak and our irreverent sense of humour. All of this is reflected in our show.”

“We love what we do; we are taking Aussie yarns, verse and songs to audiences who may not have been exposed to poetry since their school days,” said Susan. “The biggest obstacle is getting the bums on seats, a lot of folk remember standing in front of the head masters office waiting for the cane because they failed to learn The Man From Snowy River. We put the fun back in to poetry.”

Mel and Susie will be at the Kenilworth Showgrounds Hall on Saturday 21 April, BBQ from 5pm.

Cam kicks on to a bright ‘Korea’

ameron Taylor from the San Taekwondo Club in Conondale and Maleny is off to Korea for a three month scholarship to study at the Hanzhong University, one of Korea’s most prestigious Taekwondo education centers.

Cameron has been selected for the scholarship as the only Australian and one of only a handful of non-Korean students who are offered a place each year.

“Taekwondo was developed in Korea thousands of years ago and is practiced by most Koreans at some stage, so it’s no surprise that they are recognised as the very best in the world” said Cameron. “The people that I will be living and training with are world champions.”

“To say I am excited by the opportunity is an understatement” Cameron said. “I know it will be a challenge but I am really looking forward to it” A typical day will start with a three kilometre run in the mountains followed by a training session. After breakfast are some classes learning Korean for a few hours before lunch, another afternoon training session, dinner and more training before bed. Conditions at the University are strict with traditional values being enforced. Some of the skills the team have can be seen on their facebook page: TDFteam (including a demo from Brisbane last year).

Cameron is currently studying for qualifications in fitness and hopes to build a career in the fitness industry after he returns. This opportunity will be invaluable in that journey, as well as being a great life experience.

This is another example of the benefits of training with a club with national recognition. San Taekwondo is the only club on the hinterland that can advance students beyond club level, to offer real national and international opportunities.

New students are welcome all through the year and the class is made up of people of all ages and abilities, which helps to maintain the friendly, family-orientated approach.

For any information on taekwondo at Maleny or Conondale visit www.santkd.com or call 0428 712 883.

MARY VALLEY INNOVATIVE LOCAL FOOD MARKETING PROGRAM READY TO START

F

armers and food producers in the Mary Valley are being asked to take part in a proposal that aims to support local food production and boost the rural economy, by supporting the development of a Mary Valley Food Hub. Food hubs are a form of co-operative where local producers can join together to help market and distribute their goods.

“For many growers, the main thing we are good at is producing high quality goods,” said Elaine Bradley, a market gardener from Dagun who has been working on a project to investigate the establishment of a food hub in the Mary Valley. Elaine is also one of the co-ordinators of the Dagun Growers Market.

“What we are not so good at is selling what we grow. A food hub would be a great tool to help market our produce. It could help get local food into homes, restaurants, cafes and institutions such as hospitals throughout the region.”

The food hub would also coordinate the logistics of planning crops to avoid gluts and to ensure that there was always a good supply of a diverse range of produce.

“It has the potential of saving growers time and money,” said Elaine. “It can also create economic opportunities and jobs in our communities.”

Food producers are invited to discuss the draft business plan and specific activities of the local food hub.

Comments will be taken into account for the final plan.

It is expected that the Mary Valley Food Hub will then be ready to start operations by June.

Sessions will be held as follows: Kandanga 7pm Tuesday 24 April at Kandanga Bowls Club Kenilworth 7pm Thursday 26 April at Kenilworth CWA Hall Material will be available for reading from 6.30pm before discussions start, or can be emailed/posted on request a few days prior.

Council on the hunt for pests

on’t be alarmed if Sunshine Coast Council officers stop by soon to investigate pests lurking around your property.

Council officers will be conducting a Pest Survey Program in accordance with Section 241 of the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002 throughout the region.

Community Response Manager, Sheryl Krome said the purpose of the program was to monitor the distribution and spread of declared pest plants and animals and raise community awareness about them.

“Council’s Pest and Vector Control Officers will be carrying out the survey in rural and peri-urban properties throughout the Sunshine Coast,” Ms Krome said.

“The Pest Survey Program will commence 2 April 2012 and continue until 22 June 2012.

“We will be promoting to landowners best practice in the treatment of declared pest plants while also monitoring compliance with the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002.”

Particular emphasis will be placed on inspecting the localities of Maleny, Witta, Meridan Plains, Belli Park, Conondale, Eerwah Vale, Gheerulla, Lake MacDonald and Cooroibah as part of the Pest Survey Program.

A copy of the Pest Survey Program is available for inspection and/or purchase during the period of the program at council’s Customer Contact Centres.

For further information, contact council’s Customer Contact Centre on (07) 5475 7272 or email mail@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

IMBIL POLICE BRIEFS

M

ost people would be aware that bullying is fairly topical at the moment.

Most of the information being released is from bullying in schools but it occurs in all levels of society.

ADVERTISEMENT

Bullying that occurs in schools is best dealt with by the schools in the first instance. We are aware that all schools in this area have anti-bullying policies and the matter should be raised with the principal initially.

Assaults can be reported to Police whether they occur at school or not. In an assault matter, the person assaulted will be required to attend a medical practitioner to be examined, whether there are injuries or not. This is required for any future court matter. The person assaulted is then required to attend a Police Station and make a formal complaint and have a statement taken. The person committing the assault will be interviewed and their version obtained. The person assaulted may be required to appear in Court and give evidence if the matter proceeds that far.

This is the process for all reports of assault, whether by juveniles or adults and whether there are injuries or not.

A problem arises when parents become involved in instances of bullying at school. If the parents have a complaint about bullying at school, it can be made to the Principal as outlined above. If parents confront children, other than their own, out of school, the matter could result in the parent being charged with an offence. “I was sticking up for my child”, while understandable, is not a defence to a charge. Please use the proper channels if you have a problem, it may stop the problem from becoming bigger then necessary.

EcoFlicks 2012

ICA’s Catherine Cheung was the brainchild of EcoFlicks - the Sunshine Coast Environmental Film Festival. Catherine has now moved on but her legacy remains in what is possibly the most popular community environment film festival in Australia.

Now in its third consecutive year, the Sunshine Coast Council supports EcoFlicks both financially and with continuous screenings at selected venues throughout Green June, following the official screening and awards presentation at World Environment Day (Sunday June 10) at University of the Sunshine Coast.

Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA) coordinates the event and has secured award sponsors as well as much needed technical assistance for participants by way of a free two-day workshop from Qld School of Film and Television (QSFT).

“The major program and award sponsors this year are once again SEQ Catchments, the Original Eumundi Markets, and QSFT. It is also great to see other environmentally minded businesses jump on board and throw their support behind this event in getting the clean, green environment message out there - they include Home and Energy Solar, Noosa Avalon Farm Cottages, and Salon Salon Cooroy.” said NICA’s Project Coordinator, Maree Prior.

“We now want lots of participants - wannabe filmmakers

Medicine from our Gardens

trawberries are coming into season now – the first of the crop heads up our way from southern parts of Australia, but this is a prime time to put in our own plants in preparation for a winter harvest. Australians are not generally known as huge strawberry eaters, but if more of us realised just what a food powerhouse they are, those statistics would almost certainly change. I’m yet to meet a person who says they don’t actually like the taste of strawberries - basically they’re delicious – but let me tell you about their incredible health benefits.

Strawberries are very high in fibre but at the same time low in calories, so they are a good fruit to include in a weight loss diet. Although they do contain natural fruit sugars, this is considered to be low in most berries. As with all brightly coloured fruits and vegetables, strawberries are very high in antioxidants, which is where their rich, red colour comes from. The word antioxidants is bandied around a fair bit, often without a great deal of understanding as to their role, however the Sunshine House of Wellness most important Naturopathy { Herbal Medicine thing to know is that including as [ Massage many antioxidant Recently opened in Belli Park rich foods in your Opening special - 1hr Massage $50 diet is the easiest Call Gabby Scott on 0421 134 451 Member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society way to ward of

many cancers and age-related diseases.

Strawberries are also known to be anti-inflammatory, which means that conditions such as osteoarthritis, asthma and atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) all benefit from generous strawberry consumption. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nature of strawberries, combined with the significant levels of both folic acid and vitamin C which are found in strawberries, provides an overall boost to heart health, including helping to lower blood pressure. These benefits are increased by the presence of manganese in strawberries, which is a crucial mineral for both heart and bone health. Studies have also shown that strawberries contribute to a reduction in cases of macular degeneration.

Need I continue? This list of benefits from strawberry consumption is on it’s own enough to encourage us to eat more strawberries, apart from the fact that they taste great! Here is one of my favourite ways to include strawberries daily in your diet: Breakfast Smoothie This not only tastes great but will last you through the morning as it contains healthy proteins.

Blend the following ingredients for a refreshing and extremely tasty smoothie: 1 cup strawberries • 1 cup plain yoghurt • 2 Tbsp natural flavoured whey protein powder (available from health food shops) • 1 Tbsp L.S.A (Linseed, sunflower, almond blend available from health food shops) • 1 tsp of honey or Agave syrup • 1 tsp coconut oil (a very healthy natural fat) • A few cubes of ice.

otorcycle enthusiasts are regularly seen parked in the Kenilworth town centre. But one such rider stood out on Saturday at the Kenilworth Cheese Wine and Food Festival. Greg Rogerson the former Division 1 Maroochy Shire Councillor was welcomed back to Kenilworth as he rode into town on his BMW motorcycle and walked about the festival catching up with locals and enjoying the welcoming atmosphere.

“It’s the interaction with good hearted, community minded people who always give of themselves for the benefit of their local town; that spirit never ceases to amaze and inspire me” Greg said. “I’ve seen the Kenilworth community spirit exemplified many a time in the ‘Chook Chase’, the Kenilworth Show and Rodeo and in the Kenilworth Celebrates! Arts and Craft Festival. Now the Kenilworth Cheese, Wine and Food Festival, that I have witnessed here today, speaks heaps for the future character and appeal of the hinterland region and what’s just simply good about Kenilworth”.

Greg said it was great to see Kenilworth alive and buzzing and to refresh old ties with friends and acquaintances. He was also pleasantly surprised at the encouragement he received throughout the day when people realised he had nominated as a candidate in the forthcoming Sunshine Coast Regional Council election on the 28 April.

“When it’s all said and done, I missed the rapport and interaction with the PH 5446 9298 • 0413 012 398 community and the ability to make a difference in the lives of everyday Residential • Rural • Commercial people, who for one reason or another New work, Repairs, Renovations couldn’t get the representation and • Drainage • Septic tanks • Trenches the voice in Council they deserved”.

OUR COMMUNITY Div 8 Gympie Council Candidate Ian watt

W

orking as a fitter and turner, including plant installation and maintenance, has given me a practical and technical background. I became a Children’s and Youth worker and for 22 years have worked as a Minister in the Uniting Church, the last nine in the Mary Valley. I also worked as a Blue Care Chaplain in Pastoral Care, supporting staff and running programs. My wife Linda and I, have raised three children who live and work in Brisbane.

I concluded my time of church leadership in the Valley believing the time is right to take on a new challenge and I would love to take up the challenge of working for our community.

My strengths and experiences are in: • listening to and hearing people’s concerns • representing people and working for positive outcomes • being a team player • technological excellence • a common sense approach With only one councillor for this division, you will need a skilled representative who will work extremely hard for you. I am passionate about the future of this Valley and believe my experience and skills combined with that passion uniquely equip me to serve this community well.

We need strong commitment from Council and State to support us in restoring the community after the damage and devastation incurred by the previous government.

I commit to making sure that happens. I have a good relationship with our Local State Member and support strong relationships being forged with the new government. I am eager to see our community’s plans further developed and implemented.

If I am entrusted with the responsibility of councillor, I will be an active and strong advocate for the issues that concern the people of the Valley.

Launch of the Regional Australia Institute

T

he first national, independent think tank dedicated to regional issues was launched at Parliament House on 28 February 2012.

The Regional Australia Institute (RAI) was born out of the Federal Government’s 2010 commitments to Independent MPs from regional Australia. It is being established with $8m seed funding from the Federal Government.

Using existing information and commissioning new research, RAI will reframe the issues and opportunities for growth and development in regional Australia.

“Regional Australia is experiencing massive opportunity, particularly in mining, food and communications. To build a resilient economy for the future of all Australians we need an informed rethink of regional policy,” said Mal Peters, RAI Chairman.

Regional Australia is crucial to our economic and social future: • Primary industries, resources and energy are the backbone of the Australian economy, representing 67% of the country’s export revenue: $65B. • 32% of Australians live in non-metropolitan areas.

• Population growth in some regional centres [e.g. Port Hedland (WA), Townsville (QLD)] exceeds the growth experienced by major cities.

• Fly-in, fly-out, regional commuting and lifestyle choices are drawing more city people to find their future in regional Australia.

By virtue of geography and diversity, regional Australia needs a comprehensive policy strategy to empower each region to make the best of its advantages. RAI will play a key role in this by contributing independent thinking and fostering public and policy debate.

The Regional Australia Institute is independent, apolitical and not-for-profit. It is governed by a Board of eminent Australians with a passion for regional Australia. Ms Su McCluskey has been appointed as the RAI’s inaugural Chief Executive Officer.

Minister for Regional Australia, Development and Local Government, The Hon Simon Crean MP, and Mal Peters, Chairman RAI has launched the Regional Australia Institute last February at Mural Hall, Parliament House, Canberra.

Reflecting on the Mary Valley A word from Cr Jenny McKay

he Mary Valley has been high on my agenda in the role as Councillor of Division 5 in the new Sunshine Coast Regional Council.

Mary Valley Inc. has been a driving force in the revitalisation of the recovery after the saga of the Traveston Dam. The residents of Crystal Waters and Conondale, together with Cambroon, form part of the headwaters of the Mary River. I am one of two endorsed representatives on the Mary Valley Inc. During the term we have met in a variety of towns from Amamoor to Conondale keeping in touch with issues that have impacted the Conondale Valley. During my representation Council has built bridges, upgraded Conondale Park, established a group to ensure that the Hinterland Region was included in the Disaster Management Planning for the Sunshine Coast. This work is ongoing and has received enormous support from all government agencies working together with residents and the Council.

The hinterland has taken a pounding from the recent weather conditions but I will continue to lobby for necessary funds to seal roads, provide all weather access and keep the communities connected. I have regularly attended the wonderful market at Crystal Waters to keep in touch with locals and of course, purchase great produce and I find the best bread in the world at Les’s Bakery. The call of the Witta Markets has been strong and I often travel to purchase fresh fruit and vegies whilst keeping in touch with locals. I’m also grateful to Ashley at the Conondale store for being a terrific conduit, collecting and passing on to me the many important community issues.

I have visited residents in their homes through the Upper Mary Valley and shared coffee from the social hub of Conondale at the Conondale Store. Andrew Powell MP and I have regularly visited the Conondale School with staff from local and state government to discuss issues such as parking during school hours and enjoyed memorable Anzac Days at the Conondale School. The most distressing time has been through the ERA Laws and the impacts on the Conondale Store. I am very pleased that through good management on behalf of the Conondale Store, fuel still flows from the bowsers. It has been a wonderful opportunity to be representative of the western part of the newly formed Sunshine Coast Regional Council for the past four years.
