KPC NEWS

y the time this article goes to print, Kenilworth Pony Club will already have started the year with a bang. We had at the Kenilworth Showgrounds (our home ground) on 16 and 17 January our first muster for the year.

New members are always welcome - it is never too late to join and there is plenty of action planned for the rest of the year.

You can contact us at kenilworth@pcaq.asn.au check out our Facebook page KenilworthPC or ring Stephen Hinkler, Publicity Officer on 0417 721 743.

If you are thinking about joining, maybe the following rider profile may inspire you.

Rider Profile: Caeli Hinkler (Pictured Caeli Hinkler and Prince competing in a Keyhole race.)

Pony: Prince (Shetland cross).

I like the barrels race – the speed is kind of fun, cantering everywhere and the strip back is fun and really fast. I really like Bondfield Bend, it is complicated and challenging.

My best riding memories: I liked getting first place in Keyhole – it was awesome – the best feeling ever! I also liked competing at the Kenilworth Show, meeting people not in Pony Club. It was nice to meet new people and their ponies.

What I like about pony club: I like going out to competitions and having fun and spending time getting to know my pony and his different abilities away from home.

What I learnt at Kenilworth Pony Club: Prince can do more than I expected. Also, I should get advice from at least two different instructors before I make a decision or get worried about something.

My plans for the future: I want to try jumping higher than 55 cms and running faster – maybe a gallop. I have seen other horses gallop at barrels.

In conclusion, we congratulate our new office bearers for 2014: President - Anna Henbury; Vice President: Rachael Law; Chief Instructor: Sonia Law; Secretary: Catriona Summers; Treasurer: Paula Gillis.

BOOK CLUB NOTES

O

ur last book was “Lovesong” by Australian author, Alex Miller. The story explores the moral question of a woman’s struggle with her obsession to have a child. The consequences of her actions to achieve this raised many interesting discussion points with our book club members. The main characters are carefully and sympathetically drawn as the story unfolds. Alex Miller has a very easy writing style which captivates the reader right from the start. We all agreed it was a great read - certainly food for thought.

Supper, as usual, was delicious!

Our next book is “Ant Hill” by E. O. Wilson. We meet again on Thursday 6 February at 7pm at the Arts Council building. Do come and join us.

Happy reading!

CHEERIO FROM THE CHURCHES

big thank you to all who helped with our Christmas hampers - those who contributed goods and money, who packed and wrapped and who transported the hampers. Thank you!

A very enjoyable and well attended carols night was held at St John Bosco’s on 21 December with an entertaining talk by a visiting Canadian Uniting Church pastor.

Congratulations to our school chaplain, Jeshanah and her husband on their recent marriage. We wish them every happiness.

Kenilworth Reports 1940

n January, 1940 the RACQ issued the following warning published in the Nambour Chronicle (12.1.1940 p 6): The attention of the Royal Automobile Club of Queensland has been drawn to the grave danger arising in practically every country area owing to the presence of children operating scooters on the roads. The holiday period and the fact that so many children received scooters as Christmas presents recently has greatly increased this danger. It is timely to appeal to parents to warn children not to operate scooters in any street or road where motor traffic is prevalent.

Obviously children have changed very little in past 70 years – many of us may remember the young man on a small motorised scooter who in recent years was terrorising motorists in the Kenilworth township with his daredevil riding in heavy traffic.

The Nambour Chronicle contributed much to the sense of community that existed in the hinterland and the Mary Valley in past years and as a researcher I am extremely grateful to those volunteer correspondents who contributed the regular reports for the district news items.

THE NAMBOUR CHRONICLE FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1940 page 8, KENILWORTH PERSONAL Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Doyle and family, who have been spending three weeks’ holiday at Caloundra, returned home on Sunday.

Mr. H. R. Welch (pictured left, head teacher of Kenilworth school), his wife and daughter, Betty, are holidaying at Caloundra.

CHAINSAW and ACDC Courses in the Mary Valley with

Many landholders own and operate chainsaws for the removal of woody weeds and other purposes.

Chainsaws can be extremely hazardous if not maintained and handled correctly.

Registrations are now being taken for the next round of Chainsaw Courses and / or ACDC Courses in the Mary Valley region.

If interested please book now for the next round, go to www.barunglandcare.org.au or phone Barung office on 5494 3151

have arrived home after spending their honeymoon at Noosa Heads. Mrs. R. Gilroy has returned home after spending an extended holiday at Pialba. Mr. J. Ring, of Yandina Creek, spent the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. E. Partridge.

HOTEL GUESTS Guests at the Hotel Kenilworth for the week-end were: Mr. J. Rogers (Brisbane), Mr. Ahearn (Brisbane), Mr. H. Adams (Brisbane), Mr. and Mrs. S. Lane (Brisbane), Mr. J. Moyle (Brisbane), Mr. J. O’Leary (Brisbane), Mr.P. Healey (Gympie), Mr. T. Philp (Brisbane), Mr. Sutton (Rockhampton), Mrs. E. Hutchins (Brisbane), Mr. H. J. Black (Brisbane), Mr. Stewart (Brisbane), Mr. B. Heeney (Brisbane), Mr. and Mrs. McCormack (Gladstone), Mr. Kirk (Sydney), Mr. J. Stevens (Brisbane).

THE NAMBOUR CHRONICLE, Friday February 2, 1940 page 1, KENILWORTH PERSONAL Miss Ruth Hodges (Brisbane) spent vacation with her friends, Mr. and Mrs. F. Rodgers, Kenilworth Post Office.

Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Myers returned home after spending a fortnight’s holiday at Maroochydore. Mr. N. Henderson (school teacher at Cambroon) and Mrs. Henderson have returned home after spending six weeks’ holiday at Currumbin Beach. Mr. H. Welch (pictured at Kenilworth State school) with his wife and daughter Betty, returned home after spending, their holidays at Caloundra and Mundubbera.

Mrs. K. Haigh (Brisbane), Miss Nell Hickey (Gympie), Mr. P. Healey, (Gympie), Miss Lil Hickey (Brisbane). Mr. and Mrs. H. Batson (Brisbane), spent the weekend at Hotel Kenilworth.

Both of these reports seem - at first reading - to be little more than gossip, but when read a little more closely - the articles indicate how busy the hotel accommodation was in 1940 and also gives the names of many of those living in the district at that time (a great asset to family historians) and that there were schools at Cambroon and Kenilworth, with resident headmasters. Please remember that the Kenilworth Museum is closed over these hot months - but if anyone has a great desire to visit it will be opened for them.

BOXSELLS KENILWORTH’S AND MALENY’S OLDEST ESTABLISHED REAL ESTATES

I

t all began in the early 1940’s, W N (Bill) Boxsell founder of BOXSELLS LIVESTOCK AND REAL ESTATE rode his horse around Kenilworth buying and selling livestock. He would call into each dairy farm to see if the owners had cattle to sell.

He moved his wife Heather and daughter Lovola (Lolie) from a dairy at Coolabine to a shop with an existing dwelling in 1948. Heather operated the shop selling rural merchandise and produce and Bill continued in the livestock business operating cattle auctions at Kenilworth. After these auctions the cattle were droved by horseback along the roadway Kenilworth to a Belli holding paddock, spelled a day and on Thursdays walked to Eumundi railway yards for trucking in IC’s and K wagons to various purchasers and meatworks. This of course meant they were walked through the Main Street of Eumundi, blocked and turned into the trucking yards. There

The comets are the cast-off dust and icy debris of Comet Tempel-Tuttle, which orbits the sun every 33 years. Their fate is still unknown • Seven volcanoes in six different countries all started erupting within hours of each other last year. They were in Japan, Mexico, Guatemala, Vanuatu, Indonesia and Java.

were many “hairy” and memorable occasions with this exercise as extra care needed to be taken to stop the cattle straying into house yards and even into the local shops.

During these times Bill got an insight into property and what could be achieved from a particular piece of land. This insight was passed onto his children and then the grandchildren.

Boxsells Eumundi Real Estate and Livestock was established in 1954 with Boxsells Maleny established in 1971.

After the passing of Bill 1985 and Heather 1988, Terry and Lolie continued the livestock and real estate business and today with staff members in Maleny and family members at Kenilworth the business is operating as it has done for the past 70 odd years with of course a much more modern approach.

Daughter Tonia Murtagh will assist with your real estate enquiries whether it be that “lifestyle tree change” enthusiast, grazing property, homes in town.

Son Clint Murtagh will assist with livestock and cattle cartage.

What to do with and where to market those cattle, ask Clint.

e’d like to say a big thank you to the 45 locals and Mary Valley campers that attended ‘that60sguy show’ in Kenilworth on Wednesday 8 January.

The supper room at the hall was transformed into a 60s themed, candlelit supper club complete with dance floor. ‘that60sguy’ Robbie McGowan took to the stage and performed song after song for an hour straight and the audience sang along from the getgo.

After a short interval and a change of costume he was back for the second half of the show, more singing and dancing and a great night was had by all.

Thank you to all who contributed to the success of the night and for supporting live music in Kenilworth. We’ll be sure to let you know about future events.

VALLEY BEES UPDATES

he extreme heat wave over the past weeks has impacted drastically on native stingless bees over a wide area.

Many hives have been lost, and others have been weakened.

Reports of major losses are still flowing in, with quite a number of keepers losing over half their hives. Operators in the native bee industry are very concerned. We have been contacted here at Valley Bees for assistance.

There are 2 things happening at the moment to assist in this situation: 1. Questionnaire to fill out. We are asking all keepers of native bees to log in their current situation. This is extremely important for the industry. A simple questionnaire follows.

2. Native Bee On-line Forum through ANBees Yahoo Group current.

Please send this out to any keepers who may have lost their hive/s in the previous weeks.

QUESTIONNAIRE Please, it’s very important if you have lost any native hives, to answer and share these details.

1. How many native stingless hives did you have, in total, just before the recent heatwave. a. Boxed hives. b. Log hives.

2. What locality / region are your hives kept in?

3. Did you lose any of your hives over the past 10 days or so, due to the heat? Indicate if they were boxed or log hives that were lost.

About the hives that you have lost : 4. What species of bees were they? (Just indicate ‘unknown’ if you are uncertain)

A number of experts, including Tim Heard, Bob Luttrell, John Klumpp etc (as well as Giorgio, Chris and Rob) are offering wonderful suggestions and designs and concepts into the equation, as to how to reuse your boxes that were lost, how to protect your surviving hives, additional protection you can add to your hives etc.

FORUM . . . ANBees Yahoo Group Please go to the ANBees Forum (Yahoo Groups) online whre you can find numerous discussions currently taking place on all aspects of the current heat-related scenario, involving many experts, researchers and operators.

HONEYBEES It appears at this stage that the honeybee hives have been far less impacted, with most hives handling the extreme hot conditions. They cluster on the outside of the hive in large numbers to help regulate the internal hive temperature. This is natural. Any hives effected may have been ones that were moved during the extreme heat, or ones where a clearer board was used (which would have packed the bees into a smaller space). Please just keep an eye on your honeybee hives over the next week or so, and minimise manipulation during the very hot weather. Particularly avoid using the clearer board.

home ‘awe’ away by Pam Black Pomona Railway Carriage February 15 – March 12

am (Winner $15,000 2011 Kenilworth Art Prize) has always loved painting and considers it to be an integral part of her life. She also enjoys working with clay and found objects and has exhibited throughout Queensland and Tasmania. Her “home ‘awe’ away” exhibition is inspired by living on seventeen acres of natural bushland, juxtaposed against her travels to Europe last year.

Pam likes to walk through and photograph the creek on her hinterland property, highlighting geometric shapes formed by the patterned tree trunks, branches and rockfaces. She is drawn to the detail and likes to zoom in and paint the focal point. By experimentation, stripping back, layering and re-working, Pam is constantly seeking the contrast of light and dark to capture the spirit of the place.

The selection of “Tourist Paintings” are close ups or glimpses derived from her time traipsing through Europe this year. The stained glass windows of Notre Dame and the colourful Monet’s Garden in Giverney in particular, have introduced a new range of strong, bright colours to Pam’s work.

The intention of the work is to evoke in the viewer their own memories and trigger thoughts of their place in the landscape.

Wellington’s Way

y views on the Queensland Government’s new Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment legislation.

First let me say I believe if you commit a crime you should face the full force of the law - no question. But I also believe everyone should be equal before the law and Courts should be able to impose reasonable bail conditions until the charges have been tested in a Court.

The case of the “Yandina 5” highlights the fact that under these new VLAD laws you are guilty until proven innocent and can be thrown in jail with solitary confinement without access to reasonable bail conditions.

The glaring example of the injustice of these laws is that people charged with murder or other serious crimes do not face mandatory solitary confinement until the charges against them are heard, and they have access to reasonable bail conditions.

The VLAD laws mandate the incarceration in solitary confinement of three or more persons of an ‘alleged” (not proven) member or former member of an outlawed organisation without them being convicted and without access to normal bail considerations.

We have seen these five men locked up in solitary confinement for having a beer at the Yandina Pub. This is un-Australian and cruel by any standards. Fair enough lock them up if it is proven they have committed a crime but they haven’t had their charges tested in a Court to prove whether they are innocent or guilty.

Another disgraceful act by the Newman Government is that they refused to allow Magistrates to hear bail applications for people charged under the VLAD laws instead appointing their own Chief Magistrate to hear all Queensland bail applications under these laws.

The Law Society, Tony Fitzgerald and other eminent Australians have all condemned these laws.

OUR COMMUNITY Your Retirement Block: An introduction to management of rural blocks in the Gympie Region.

M

oving to a rural block brings exciting opportunities to maintain habitat for wildlife, establish a larger garden or start a hobby farm. It may also bring responsibilities to control weedy grasses, manage fire risks, maintain fences and manage pastures and water for livestock. It can be difficult to choose the right block of land for your goals, or to decide how best to manage and use the block you have.

Funding by the Federal Government’s Productive Aging through Community Education program has enabled Gympie and District Landcare to provide retirees an introduction to management of rural blocks in the Gympie Region. The PAtCE program aims to facilitate community engagement, active aging, skill building and re-engagement of older Australians. It encourages the development of peer networks among participants and between participants and the wider community.

Over 10 consecutive weeks from Tuesday 4 February Gympie and District Landcare will provide an overview of common property management issues in the Gympie Region and introduce you to local organisations that can help you achieve your retirement goals. Priority will be given to retirees or people planning their retirement, however anyone investing in a rural block is welcome to participate if there is space in the session.

Each week will be led by a professional with specialist knowledge

of their field: local experts like Graeme Elphinstone, Steve Burgess, and Ernie Rider. There will be speakers from Council’s Land Protection Unit, the Rural Fire Service, Valley Bees and a range of community groups. Many presenters own a rural block in the Gympie Region and have firsthand experience of property management issues.

Four sessions involve bus trips to view properties relatively close to Gympie. The bus will leave Landcare at 9.00am. Walking will be for distances up to 500m in farm lane ways, paddocks and wooded areas to view soils, plants and land management issues. Walking will not be arduous nor on very steep grades.

Please wear walking shoes, a hat and sunscreen. As there may be long grasses or weeds you may prefer to wear long trousers.

Participation is free to retirees, with a modest charge of $5 per session for people younger than 55 years or age. Anyone can register to participate. However, priority will be given to people aged 55 years of age or older. Courses run every Tuesday from 4 February to 8 April. Participants will meet at Landcare with sessions to start at 9.00am. Morning tea and cold drinks will be provided each session.

Course numbers are limited. Register to participate by contacting Gympie and District Landcare on 5483 8866 or email to admin@gympielandcare.org.au Please note Gympie Landcare is only attended Wednesday to Fridays and Saturday mornings. Landcare has a brochure on the program if you would like to promote it to neighbours, family or friends.

What's in the Spotlight

wish to vent my anger at the SC Council’s decision to demolish THE bridge. Whilst I applaud Cr Rogerson’s efforts to save it I am equally appalled that two fellow councillors, Robinson and Green, from the northern part of our shire voted for it to be demolished.

I understand Gympie Council also has a stated policy of not preserving any of its one lane wooden bridges too. It appears our Council has one as well.

This went against the wishes of the local community and of Boral too who agreed to pay 70% of the annual maintenance costs. To ignore the communities wishes shows what arrogance the Council has, in a rare situation where the Council could show its support to our area. We ask for very little and we can now see why. With the new bridge costing $4 million, to pay another 4% would have made such a difference. I looked at the SCC’s proposed budgets for the next 20 years and the area from Gheerulla to Belli Park gets no money allocated to it except for a “possible” upgrade to the Belli Creek park. All the capital works money of hundreds of millions of dollars goes elsewhere.

The Council then behaves like a property developer and demolishes the bridge within days of the resolution to demolish it. No doubt we will be told it had to be done for “Health and Safety” reasons just like the Council report on the bridge proposed a wire across the bridge for pedestrians to hook onto and railings along the side when there hasn’t been one fatality or serious accident. It’s time our Councillors stood up to these “Health and Safety”people.

An important piece of the area’s heritage gone forever so what will be next?
