Mayor and councillor help fund expansion of showgrounds

T

he plan for the Kenilworth showground expansion is set to receive a helping hand, with the Mayor and Councillor Rogerson providing $45,000 in discretionary funding to help with the purchase of nearby land.

Mayor Mark Jamieson and Division 10 Councillor Greg Rogerson visited the Kenilworth showgrounds on Wednesday 31 July to see first-hand how the funds from their Mayoral and Councillor Discretionary Fund will assist with expansion of the facilities.

Mayor Jamieson said the land purchase will enable the Kenilworth Hall Show and Recreation Ground Association to grow its current operations, benefiting the Kenilworth and surrounding communities.

“Expansion of the showgrounds will provide additional sporting facilities, allow extra space for camping and boost the local economy,” Mayor Jamieson said.

“Many visitors park their caravans or motorhomes at the showgrounds and use Kenilworth as a base to explore everything the Coast has to offer.

“These people provide vital commerce for local businesses and are essential to the economic sustainability of the township.”

Councillor Rogerson said the facilities are also well-used by a wide range of local people and community and sporting groups.

“The hall and showgrounds are used for many public events and sporting activities, including the annual show and rodeo,” Cr Rogerson said.

Blair Meldrum, of the Kenilworth Hall Show and Recreation Ground Association, said the group was very appreciative of the funding and agreed the extra land would help Kenilworth’s economy.

“As a community organisation, the association greatly appreciates the valuable funding support provided by the Mayor and Councillor Rogerson,” Mr Meldrum said.

“We are proud to provide a wide range of facilities which benefit the entire Kenilworth community.”

Mayoral and Councillor Discretionary Funding gives councillors the ability to allocate discretionary funds to community organisations to benefit Sunshine Coast residents.

KENILWORTH BOWLS CLUB HOLDS VERY SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISER

O

n Saturday 6 July we held a fund raiser for the 2013 XXXX Gold Variety Bash. This was an extremely successful event with the club raising over $3600 for the bash. There was heaps of fun at playing barefoot bowls (the photo shows the bowlers with the Variety Bash cars).

We then held an auction of sporting memorabilia which was well contested for some great items. The day ended with a multidraw raffle and a karaoke night. Thanks to everyone who came along and supported this event. We are sure that the funds will help some disadvantaged and special needs children.

We have played two rounds of pennants for this year so far.

The first match was against Pomona Club which resulted in a draw. Our second game was at Gympie Club which we won two of three rinks plus the overall match win.

On Sunday 21 July it was President Phil Pyke’s day and luckily the weather was kind to us. It was a great roll up with most of the Clubs in our district represented. Winning team for the day was a Kandanga team of Reg Thomson, Morky, Duke and Jeff Worth with the runners-up being another team from Kandanga of D.Smith, B.Kunde Snr and B.Kunde Jnr. Thanks to all teams who attended especially Kandanga who sent three teams for the day and our visitors from Scarborough.

KENILWORTH Household Hints

P

ublished in The Chronicle (7.8.1903, p2) To Make Sizing - First dissolve half a pound of glue in a little hot water. Then pour on nearly a gallon of boiling water, stirring carefully all the time, so that it may mix well.

A little of this added to ordinary white wash prevents the white from rubbing off on dresses, &c. Brushed while hot over a wall that is to be papered, it makes the paper stick better.

A Good Furniture Polish - Mix together two ounces of boiled linseed oil, three ounces of turpentine, one ounce of vinegar, and a quarter of pint of methylated spirits. Rub the mixture well in, and polish with soft dusters, finishing off with a soft flannel or an old silk handkerchief.

Hang muslin bags filled with fresh charcoal on each side of a joint of meat; this will keep it sweet in the hottest weather.

While excessive crying is harmful to a baby, the mother must not forget that moderate crying develops the lungs properly.

If a teaspoonful of lemon juice is added to the water that pastry is made with, it will be found to make it rise in flakes, and be much whiter and lighter.

The difference between boiling and steaming puddings is that they are much lighter when steamed and also there is no danger of water getting into the mould.

Boiled potatoes ought to be laid on a plate, and are as good for frying or mashing as if they were freshly cooked.

If left heaped up they will often spoil in one night.

To clean patent leather boots rub on a small quantity of Vaseline, which will keep the leather from cracking, and also polish them with a duster after, which will make them look as good as new.

In the same newspaper the Rates for Casual Advertisements were listed as 4 shillings (40 cents) for the first inch and 1shilling and six pence (15 cents) for every succeeding inch. Births, Deaths, Marriages, Funeral and Memoriam notices at 6 pence (5 cents) per insertion.

The history of the district, the shire and all communities within the shire was recorded in newspapers like the Nambour Chronicle and the Gympie Times - will our children and grandchildren be able to access similar records of today’s happenings in the small communities of the Mary Valley and Sunshine Coast?

In recent weeks there have been more than 100 visitors to the Kenilworth Museum - many from distant parts and overseas. The Museum in Alexandra Street is open to visitors every Sunday from 10am - 2pm. The Museum is on Facebook.

Photo left: Patrick Murtagh and his family. Many of the pioneer families in the district in 1903 were as large as this one – so any household hints would have been welcomed by the busy wife and mother.

KENILWORTH NBN TOWERS - SHOULD I CARE? Many NBN wireless broadband towers will soon be popping up all over the Sunshine Coast- if passed by Council. The 30-35 metre NBN tower (similar to a 10 storey building in height) for Kenilworth is proposed on council land ten metres behind the Museum and under 100 metres from people’s houses. So what you may ask?

From my research this is the only NBN tower in Australia less than 100 metres from residential housing. It is in a designated residential area but there is supposed to be a 100 metre buffer zone. I believe this is a TEST CASE for the NBN, and if it is passed you, your family and friends may have a huge tower put next to them if the NBN like the look of the block and the private owner is willing to host a tower! The companies play off the neighbours to see who will have a tower on private land at the lowest cost. Added to this is the fact that once the tower is up it is out of the Council’s hands to control the number of mobile phone carriers who wish to co-locate on these towers, which makes a mockery of their current estimated radiation figures given to you now.

There are two petitions in Kenilworth, at the post office and Op Shop if you wish to ask the council to relocate these towers further away.

The proposed Kenilworth tower position will not cover blackspots from Cambroon to Conondale or Crystal Waters.

You can also make a written submission for the Kenilworth Application (Council’s website, PD Online, Application number MCU13/0115). The Kenilworth Library has some information on the tower plans and submissions.

NBN TOWER UPDATE July 28, 2013 Aurecon for NBN Co has withdrawn its application to put its Telecommunications Tower at 9-11 Alexandra St. It will be looking for more suitable sites after the Council asked them do so. Please note though, that for the last four weekends opening some documents on this website was denied. Aurecon has yet to choose a spot that addresses the black spots eg. Cambroon to Conondale and forestry, which will help in Search and Rescue (the new site will have a different MCU number).

Let’s hope the NBN next time does an invitation mail out to affected properties for the consultation meeting (not received by Alexandra St. residences or the Museum) and that the meeting will not just be advertised in “The Range News” which we don’t receive in the mail.

All residents should realise that these towers are telecommunication towers, so once a tower is up, other mobile phone carriers can add their equipment and antenna to the tower without Council approval. Indeed it is State planning policy that they co-locate and the tower can be increased by five metres.

The legal requirement is that the NBN post a sign on the property to host the tower, write to adjoining properties and have an information meeting. It does not seem that properties across the road are adjoining properties.

In NSW there are state government rules governing

these towers with a 150 metre buffer zone (http://www. afr.com/p/technology/nbn_co_skips_councils_to_build_ towers_h41iaCZF3JNXE8a7F5WO8O) but there are no statewide rules (only Local government Plans and Codes) in Qld so each community has to fight their own battles.

Kenilworth Kritta Interview Pam Black

K

ritta Pam, had you been planning your trip to France for long.

Pam Yes, since 2011, when I won the Kenilworth Art Prize of $15,000. I was so overcome when my name was called out. Bob, my husband, thought we could go fishing in Broome, but my first response was to go to France.

Kritta Why did you choose France to use the art prize money.

Pam Being a practising artist and art teacher, I have studied art history as part of my education, so it was a dream come true to visit the home of so much historical art.

Kritta What was the favourite part of your holiday Pam? Pam It’s difficult to define one highlight as we spent most of the time in France but also visited Scotland and London.

I was very surprised at being able to take photos of the masters in the Louvre and the contemporary Pompidou Centre. I took about 2,000 photos, but I would probably say my favourite highlight was our visit to Monet’s Garden at Giverney. It was a beautiful sunny day, so the colours were amazing.

Kritta Do you think the Kenilworth Painting Prize has significant importance to practising artists?

Pam Well, this year it is valued at $17,500, and apart from the monetary award, it certainly boosts the artist’s confidence and recognition in the art community.

Kritta Pam will you be exhibiting any of your work in the near future?

Pam Yes, I will be ‘branching out into Brisbane’ from Friday 30 August to Sunday 1 September. I will be sharing the Richard Randall Art Studio at Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens, Toowong with Jacki Archibald and Sandra Pearce and we will be responding to ‘branching out’ with a variety of different mediums. It would be good if you could join the artists for drinks at 2pm on Saturday 31 August.

Pam will be tutoring at Kenilworth Art Celebrates! in September.

MARY VALLEY Mary Valley Scarecrow Festival is coming

A new growers co-operative for the Mary Valley

re you ready... The Mary Valley Scarecrow Festival is almost upon us!

The festival runs from September 14 - October 7 this year and registration forms must be submitted by September 10. Remember, entry is free.

Scarecrows will go on display from September 14.

You can get your entry forms from the following Mary Valley registration centres: Conondale shop, Kenilworth Info Centre (5446 0122), Mary Valley Traders at Imbil, Kandanga Info Centre.

Winners will be presented at the Mary River Festival on November 9. Categories are traditional, open and child.

Visit www.scarecrows.org.au or email info@scarecrows.org.au

here has been a noticable increase in the demand for locally grown food in the Sunshine Coast and Gympie regions.

Purchasers recognise the value and benefit in freshness and flavour, as well as the importance of food security. There is opportunity for Mary Valley farmers to capitalise on this trend, through the establishment of a network of smaller farms that can work together to develop and service these larger markets for local produce.

Recent studies in the Mary Valley have shown that farmers are keen to meet the increasing demand, but are restricted by factors such as poor access to storage and handling facilities, high transport and distribution costs, and a lack of time to chase up these new markets while trying to increase production.

A project completed under the Mary Valley Economic Development Fund recommended that these difficulties could be addressed through the establishment of a food ‘hub’ - a local aggregation, marketing and distribution centre - that could be managed by a co-operative formed specifically for that purpose.

The formation meeting for the “Mary Valley Country Harvest Co-operative” will be held at 7pm Wednesday 14 August at the Kandanga Hall.

Mary Valley growers and manufacturers of foods grown from local produce are invited to attend the meeting and find out more about the co-operative and proposals that may assist existing and new growers.

The primary aim of the co-operative will be to assist members with the sale and distribution of their produce.

Some functions of the food hub have already been successfully trialled, and have definitely shown the high demand for local produce. Groups of families on the Sunshine Coast are supplied each week with produce from a number of small growers, with co-ordinated delivery.

One of the instigators of the co-operative has also visited many other similar projects to examine their operations.

Elaine Bradley was awarded a Churchill Fellowship in 2012 to visit North Carolina and Virginia (USA) to see how networks of small farms worked together to improve their production capacity and collaborated with marketing and distribution. You can read the Final Report at http:// elainedagun.wordpress.com/ For more info, please contact Elaine on 0459 225 399 or Lesa Bell on 0428 193 156.

MARY VALLEY New clinic opens in Imbil

The new clinic has four consulting rooms, a QML collection room, and a room for Allied Health and a physiotherapist.

The nurses have their own room and a three-bay treatment room will be a welcome improvement on the previous arrangement.

Residents will now have access to a physio, psychologist, diabetic services, podiatrist, audiologist, and a dietician will soon be added to the list.

D

r Maura Harvey cracked the champagne last week to mark a new era in Imbil - the town now has a purpose-built doctors’ surgery.

The new Imbil Clinic was welcomed with fanfare and relief as Dr Harvey told invited guests on Friday that it was five years since she had decided to build a replacement for the converted brick house which had become overwhelmed by the growing clinic.

“I hope this will give Imbil a kick along, now that we have come out of the doldrums of the Traveston Crossing Dam era,” she said.

“The properties are starting to sell and I think a new clinic will be good for the area. We have always felt a part of the community and in fact the neighbours have often brought us scones for morning tea.”

But the opening was also about her staff, Dr Harvey said.

The Imbil Clinic is the third built by the Harveys, who own clinics in Cooroy and Pomona.

“We are welcoming new staff members - receptionists, nurses and doctors - and we have registrars who have passed their exams - and we have birthdays to celebrate as well,” she said. “This is a gathering of the crew.”

Dr Maud Cazot, from Cooroibah, joins Dr Rob Angus and Dr Harvey at the Imbil Clinic.

Dr Harvey thanked her husband Mark who managed the building project, and Gympie councillor Julie Walker for her support. Builder Shane Coutts and practice manager Carole Pheeney had both worked hard to bring the project to fruition.

IMBIL POLICE BRIEFS

here has been a lot of discussion in the media recently about speeding and the tolerance that Police allow. A tolerance is set by the Service for speed camera but there is no tolerance set for mobile radar and stationary hand-held radar.

Most people seem to believe that the tolerance that Police allow is 10km/hr. This is untrue. It is up to every Police Officer what speed they issue Infringement Notices at. This can depend on matters such as traffic and pedestrian volume, weather conditions, road conditions and even attitude of drivers.

The simple rule is that the speed limit is the limit. If you take the chance on driving above the speed limit and guess the tolerance and are wrong, you only have yourself to blame. If you think that the tolerance is 10km/hr and travel at 9km/hr above the speed limit and your speedo is out by 2km/hr, you are now 11 km/hr over the speed limit.

Again, the simple rule is travel AT or below the speed limit and you will not have any problems. If you get caught, it is YOUR fault, not the Police Officer.

A large number of people driving whilst unlicensed, driving with a suspended licence or driving with an expired licence have been located lately.

Queensland Transport advises licence holders when their drivers licence is about to expire. They send a notice to the address that is on your licence about a month before renewal date. If you do not update the address on your licence, this notice will be sent to your previous address and you may not get it. This is not an excuse for driving on an expired licence and will result in a Court appearance.

It does not matter if it expired the day before or the year before – you are unlicensed.

Your drivers licence may be suspended for a number of reasons. These include accumulation of points and not paying fines. A notice is sent to the address on your licence. If you do not update the address on your licence, this notice will be sent your previous address and you may not get it. This is not an excuse for driving with a suspended licence and will result in a Court appearance.

Impoundment laws have been in place for a number of years. Driving whilst unlicensed (expired, suspended or unlicensed) is an impoundment offence. If you are caught,

the vehicle you are driving may be impounded whether you are the owner or not. Drivers who do not have a current licence (expired, suspended or unlicensed) must have a ZERO alcohol limit – regardless of age.

Driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle is also an impoundment offence. It is up to the driver to ensure that the vehicle they are driving is registered – whether they are the owner or not. Tip: have a look at the registration label, don’t just assume a borrowed vehicle is registered.

BEYOND COAL AND GAS FORUM - GYMPIE

T

he Gympie Water, Air and Soil Protection Group (Gympie WASP) is holding a public forum on Thursday 8 August inviting Wide Bay candidates for the coming federal election to speak about how they will protect the Wide Bay electorate from the impacts of coal and gas mining.

The Forum, titled “Beyond Coal and Gas”, will include speakers living and farming near a coal-mine and gas field. A representative from Beyond Zero Emissions will also present viable strategies for taking Australia into completely renewable energies, preventing the negative impacts of coal and gas mining from further destroying water and soil resources around the country.

All candidates for the Wide Bay federal electorate have been invited to answer questions about how they would act to protect water resources and farmland from across the Mary River catchment from the exploration permits that have already been issued in the area.

“Permits for both coal and gas have been issued near the Mary River north of Gympie, in the Tiaroarea”, said Adele Coombs, Gympie WASP Group leader. “The gas permits are not covered by the new federal legislation recently established to protect valuable and vulnerable water resources. We need to ensure the Mary River catchment is safe from the toxic effects of underground fracking for gas reserves.”

“We would like to see our elected representative for Wide Bay committed to taking our electorate beyond fossil fuels into renewable energy, as this direction is now being pursued by many countries around the world. Australia is lagging behind due to the pressure of the coal and gas mining industries lobbying our government. Just as many valuable and sustainable jobs could be provided if our government supported renewable energy rather than subsidized the coal and gas industries.”

The Forum will be held at the Gympie Pines Golf Club at 7pm next Thursday 8 August. Members of the public are invited to attend. For more information phone Adele Coombs 0427 839 165 or Jason Makeig 0428 988 059.

OUR POLITICS Rogo’s round-up

T

hank you to everyone who has sent messages of gratitude regarding Council’s work on the shelter at Isaac Moore Park. It is looking great and it won’t be long until the electric barbeque and lighting is switched on.

I put forward a Notice of Motion at Council’s Ordinary Meeting to address the lack of mobile phone and broadband coverage from Kenilworth to Conondale and the Obi Obi Valley. The motion was carried unanimously and as a result council’s CEO will make a representation to the Minister for Broadband Communications and the Digital Economy, Anthony Albanese MP. It’s an important issue for the safety of locals and visitors who enjoy recreational activities in remote bushland areas of the hinterland. Selecting tower locations can be a sensitive issue but it should not be at the expense of people in need of assistance when faced with emergency events like flooding or accidents.

Due to community concerns and following consultation with me, NBN Co has withdrawn their Development Application with Council for a proposed fixed wireless facility at the top of Alexandra St in Kenilworth. NBN Co will explore other viable alternatives that are less visually intrusive to the immediate neighbours.

Some really senseless vandalism took place at Bonney Park and it’s really hard to understand why valuable community assets are the target of such activities. It’s now a police matter so please contact them if you know anything - vandals need to know that their activities won’t be tolerated in our community.

Catch you in the Valley.

Thank you to all who rallied in support of this (my first ever) event - for the benefit of the Stent family.

Ride4Hope boosts funding for local school chaplains

otorcycle enthusiasts from all over Queensland will converge on Kenilworth showgrounds Friday 30 August and Saturday 31 August for the 2013 Ride4Hope, a two day charity motorbike event raising funds for School Chaplains and caters for riders of differing abilities.

It is a huge weekend of camping and fun plus another first for this year – HopeFest. A massive family friendly concert featuring JC Epidemic Freestyle Motocross Show, live Battle of the Youth Bands plus other guest artists, the Chappy Pee Wee Challenge, jumping castle, fireworks and more! Admission prices, rider details and programme are all online.

Ride4Hope participants will be professionally guided through some of South East Qld’s best roads and forest trails, while motocross riders will enjoy riding one of the best privately owned tracks on the Sunshine Coast.

The fundraising event will help ensure the ‘Chappies’ are able to continue their important work in local state primary and secondary schools.

In an exciting twist this year not only do riders have a choice of ‘Road, Track or Trail’ they can also choose the school, chappie or region the funds raised are contributed to.

Each rider will cover their own costs to participate in the ride, while also setting up a fundraising team and seeking tax deductible donations from friends, family and locals.

Organisers hope to raise over $100,000, with the proceeds going straight to assisting local young people in need.

Scripture Union Queensland (SU Qld) has over 500 Chaplains working in around 600 Queensland state schools to provide spiritual and emotional support to more than 340,000 students, staff and parents.

Chad Monroe, of Provision Wealth Management, founder of the Ride4Hope said the ride would help expand the program and provide the Chaplains with better resources.

“The financial support that Ride4Hope expects to generate will help Qld’s School Chaplains continue their vital work in our communities,” he said.

“The Chaplains have built a lot of trust with the kids so it’s great they always have someone they can turn to with their problems.”

School Chaplain at Noosa District State High, Shane Brigg, said that ‘Chappies’ play an important support role within schools.

“Every young person longs for a role model. For many of the young people I come into contact with, Chaplaincy is often the first point of call for discovering a positive relationship with meaningful adults,” he said.

“It is an absolutely humbling privilege to be one of those people that students are happy to come and talk to. I work really hard at being a connector between students and helping them develop empowering links to others as well. Like the proactive support programs we are conducting where students get to meet with trained community volunteers to work through life issues together. ” “Chappy” Shane, who has been a youth worker for 25 years (a Chaplain for 17 years), said that the work he does assists the school community, students, and their families in a number of

Our front cover story

ways, including pastoral care and life skills development.

“If a family has experienced a critical situation like the loss of a loved one, we are there to help by simply having a chat, through practical acts like arranging for meals, and by linking them with others who can support them,” he said.

“Then there are school activities which we get involved with such as camps, school community events, breakfast programs, mentoring, and lunchtime activities.”

Jon Colley of Loan Wize is another local businessman who is participating in the Ride4Hope. “SU QLD is in the business of creating better futures – mainly through school chaplaincy. The Ride4Hope was developed to respond to genuine community need and to make a real difference in the lives of QLD young people,” Mr Colley said.

Life Lessons

n our fridge is a magnet which reads, “The first forty years of parenting are always the hardest!” True on so many occasions. On the flip side, not a day goes by that I’m not grateful for the experience of being a parent.

Parents can also be privy to exploring wonderful life lesson opportunities with their children.

Our family are annual attendees at the Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show in Nambour. We love nothing more than a trip to the show. Always have, and always will.

Several years ago, to assist our show visit financially, we decided to provide the kids with a “Life Lesson” opportunity. We suggested they plant a crop of pumpkins.

The kids would be responsible for harvesting and selling. All profits to be distributed evenly for spending at the show.

Little did we know that this too would become an annual event.

Come each May, the cows let us know the pumpkins are ready for harvesting. It’s then on for young and old - kids versus the cows. Secateurs snipping, pumpkins placed in the wheelbarrow and wheeled to the shed. Pricing time and off to customers who comprise of family, friends, and school teachers.

This “Life Lesson” cements a fabulous ethos into the kids.

They see that money doesn’t just come from that hole in the wall, grow on trees in our backyard, or magically appear in your parent’s wallets. Proven winner too, watching them prioritise spending at the show. They know they’ve worked real hard and seem to appreciate the money more.

So, next year in May, if you want a great pumpkin, head on up to Obi Obi. The kids would be more than willing to have your custom.

“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant”. Robert Louis Stevenson
