Cheerio from the Churches

hat a lovely morning we enjoyed on Sunday 12 May at the ecumenical service at St John Bosco Catholic Church in Kenilworth to celebrate their 75th anniversary.

KENILWORTH R.S.L. NEWS

ontinuing Know Our Military... Soldier is a term used to describe a member of the Army. It is derived from the Latin term “solidus” which was a coin used to pay the armed men in the Roman army. A private soldier was a man temporarily pressed into service for a feudal Lord in Medieval England whereas a member of the Lord’s standing army was a knight. The basic units or the army today are derived from the foot soldiers, cavalry and artillery of British fighting history. Let us now look at the order of battle: Section: This is the basic building block of the infantry. It has between nine and 12 men formed into two scouts, a section commander (usually a Corporal), three members of a machine-gun team and four riflemen (a LanceCorporal would be one of the riflemen). Platoon: This word comes from the French peleton which means a group of men. There are usually three sections to an infantry Platoon, plus a Platoon Commander (usually a Lieutenant) and a Platoon Sergeant. Company: Three Platoons plus a Company Sergeant Major (Warrant Officer Class 2) and a Company Commander (usually a Major). Other personnel in the Company would be a Quartermaster Sergeant, a clerk and a medic. A company consists of roughly 105 men. To be continued ...

he Department of Transport and Main Roads would like to provide an update about the construction of the Grigor Bridge on Maleny-Kenilworth Road at Conondale. Motorists and nearby residents would have noticed the changes that have taken place since work started at the end of March. Construction of the sidetrack on the Conondale side of the river is underway and will be completed by the end of June. The sidetrack is being constructed around MalenyKenilworth Road to allow motorists to continue accessing this area while work is underway and will connect to the existing bridge. In the river, a second rock platform was constructed last week to expedite completion of in-water activities, which have been scheduled to accommodate the breeding seasons of species in the Mary River. Environmental specialists were used to undertake aquatic clearances prior to the placement of the rock platform. Clearance divers particularly targeted endangered turtle species, checked platypus burrows in the river bank and surveyed fish species. Piling in the river will start in the coming weeks with ongoing liaison with environmental experts to ensure protection of local aquatic wildlife and the surrounding environment.

KENILWORTH SCC FAREWELL TO OUR MUCH-LOVED CHAPPY

enilworth State Community College and Conondale State School will lose their muchloved chaplain, Boyd Eime, at the end of term when he relocates to greener pastures and the family business in Western Australia. Boyd joined the Kenilworth school community in 2007 and has since become an integral component in the daily life of the school. On the two days per week Boyd works at the school, you can hear the happy calls of “Chappy!” coming from the students. During the past six years, Boyd has been involved in a broad range of KSCC student-based activities including working within the classroom; the Leadership program and camps; the Transition to High School program; the weekly pancake breakfast for students; woodworking with small groups of students; working with students with special needs and the very popular bike project. Boyd’s role as Chaplain, along with his compassion and understanding, have made him the first port of call for many of our local families in crisis. His love of the outdoors is evident with the coordination of local bike rides and kayaking activities for the Kenilworth and Conondale communities.

The Kenilworth State Community College community has been enriched by having Boyd as our Chaplain for the past six years. We will truly miss his smile, laugh, compassion and dedication to our school community. Come and wish him well before he commences on a new adventure in Western Australia at a Family Fun Day to be held at Kenilworth State Community College on Friday 21 June, commencing at 11.30am.

TEACHING AND LEARNING AUDIT

enilworth State Community College recently underwent a Teaching and Learning Audit conducted by Education Queensland, its third in four years. Our teaching practices and learning outcomes have continued to climb over the past number of years and this year KSCC was awarded 7 Highs and 1 Medium in the 8 scale rating. This improved audit outcome is a direct result of the staff and parent commitment to providing the best learning environment for Kenilworth students. This result is something of which our school community can be very proud.

AUSTRALIA’S BIGGEST MORNING TEA

enilworth State Community College recently held a morning tea fundraiser for The Cancer Council and Australia’s Biggest Morning. The Home Ec. block was decked out in all its morning tea finery and edible goodies for “ladies and gentlemen who lunch”. A figure of $380 was raised through morning tea donations and raffle tickets to aid the Cancer Council in its fight against cancer. Thank you to all those who participated and those who donated morning tea goodies and raffle prizes (including Woolworths, Kenilworth News and Yvonne James).

KENILWORTH

KENILWORTH CELEBRATES! 2013

he ‘Kenilworth Kritta’ can’t wait for the renowned watercolour Artist/Tutor Ross Paterson to return to Kenilworth in 2013 he is so excited he is practicing his style in Viv Bloomers Studio in the Coolabine Valley. Ross Paterson was acclaimed as one of the three best watercolour artists in the world by judges at the Shanghai Zhuijajiao International Biennial watercolour exhibition 2012. This exhibition has upwards of 10,000 entries with 200 finalists from around the globe. Ross said he was delighted to be asked to return to Kenilworth Celebrates! and would be very pleased to make the acquaintance of the ‘Kenilworth Kritta’ at the art workshops from September 30 to October 4. Learn all the tricks of watercolours with Ross himself, at his master classes. Secure your spot now by visiting the website www.kenilwortharts.org.au - it has all workshop details plus full programme, arts weekend highlights and exhibitions.

OPEN 7 DAYS 5 am to 6 pm

“Come in-store for our great fresh fruit & veg specials.”

Spokesman for the Kenilworth Arts Council, Rod Bloomer said, “It is a great privilege to have Ross Paterson return to Kenilworth as he is not only one of the best watercolour artists in the world he is also one of the nicest people in the world.” Ross’s says: “Painting to me is all about possessing an intimate feeling for, and subsequent understanding of, the depicted subject. My initial response, usually to an interesting subject and the light and mood associated with it, is envisaged and then interpreted with sensitivity and some conceptual feeling. Consideration is given to design and then the necessary elements, such as shape (drawing), tonal value, colour and texture. To simplify this statement, I look for the ‘shape’ of the building and also the ‘shape’ of the space around this, making sure there is a relevant balance throughout the whole work. As the painting proceeds, the inner feeling and rhythm tends to take over. As is always with me, that endeavour to capture a moment in creation’s mighty span of time, a fleeting moment, but something of special significance to me as an artist. I am of the opinion that it is a privilege to utilise my Godgiven talent to the best of my ability during the course of completing each painting.”

MARY VALLEY

New logo promotes Mary Valley foods

new branding concept is spreading awareness about the variety of foods available in the Gympie Region’s food bowl - the Mary Valley. Growers, businesses who use local product, and valueadders are being encouraged to sign up for the accreditation to promote their produce with the bright Mary Valley Country Flavours logo. Project coordinator Lesa Bell said many people were surprised at how much locally produced food they already eat. “We just don’t celebrate the fact as much as we should,” she said. “People readily talk about Margaret River wines, or Yarra Valley products, now is the time to start talking about products from the Mary Valley.” Business owners Peter and Lee Sullivan (pictured below with Lesa Bell) from Imbil Friendly Grocer are among the first to sign up for the accreditation, which will give both locals and visitors a chance to understand the story about our local foods. The Friendly Grocer shelves already display free-range Moya Valley Poultry products and Kenilworth Cheese, alongside Cooloola milk and cream and Salty’s Honey. When they bought the business three years ago, the Sullivans stocked their meat freezer with fresh supplies from the Imbil butcher. “It’s good to support the local community, people are always asking if the products are local and they are interested in what we grow here,” Mrs Sullivan said. Ms Bell urged people to look for the Flavours logo next time they shopped in the valley. “It supports a local grower, and helps farmers stay on the land,” she said. To find out about the Flavours product, or to apply for accreditation, contact Ms Bell on 0428 193 156 or email flavours@themaryvalley.com.au

Australian Geographic Society links arms with an endangered Turtle

n Thursday 26 May people all around the world are celebrating World Turtle Day. Though turtles and tortoises have survived countless millennia, today more than half the 328 species face a very uncertain future. The Mary River turtle which can only be found in a single river is the second most threatened turtle in Australia. However, thanks to efforts of the Australian Geographic Society and Tiaro Landcare, the future of the Mary River turtle may become a bit more secure. The AG Society is well known for their dedication in supporting adventure, science and the community is conducting a fundraising campaign for the Mary River turtle. “We could hardly believe it, when Rebecca from the Australian Geographic Society told us they have chosen to fundraise for the Mary River turtle. What an honour it is for our Landcare Group to have them assist us”, said Marilyn Connell, Tiaro Landcare Project Officer. “The AG Society is delighted to support small volunteer groups working on big recovery projects like this one. Tiaro and District Landcare are getting their hands dirty and putting in real effort to protect one of Australia’s most unique and vulnerable turtles and it’s organisations like them that can make all the difference for endangered species.” Rebecca says. Last nesting season, Tiaro Landcare members protected 32 turtle nests along the Mary River with 305 turtles successfully hatched. Donations over $2 are tax deductable can be made online, via cheque or at any Australian Geographic store where you can collect a very cute Mary River turtle fridge magnet. Visit www.maryriverturtle.com “Our legacy must be that we succeeded in preserving the diversity of turtles with whose care we have been entrusted. That innate responsibility has come from the privilege we enjoy in sharing this world and its habitats with other creatures who have evolved, as we have, to grace this planet with a most extraordinary diversity.”

OUR P OLITICS

Scam Emails and Phone Calls Once again my office has received many queries about possible scams over the phone and via email. In every case we have been able to verify that the calls and emails were scam related. Emails and phone calls have been received claiming to be from the Australian Taxation Office, Windows, various banks, credit card companies and a bogus government department. If you are at all concerned about a possible phone scam, do not give your details, ask for a call back number and call my office. My staff will be happy to make some enquiries and get back to you. With emails; do not respond, do not fill in any forms and again call my office. We also have copies of the ACCC publication “The Little Black Book of Scams” for anyone wanting to know more about scams. As I have said before, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. If you haven’t bought a lottery ticket in Europe, you can’t be the winner of the European lottery. And, if the banks are finally going to pay us back thousands of dollars in overpaid fees, they will already have our bank account details to pay it back into.

Setting the record straight Since the floods earlier this year, where Gympie farmers and residents were able to access significant government support that was initially denied to those in the Sunshine Coast Regional Council, I had been asked to look into what would need to be done to move the current council boundary. At a recent sitting of Parliament I put this question to the Minister for Local Government and he said any local Government boundary change needed the support of both Councils and overwhelming support from the community. MP Peter Wellington

Rogo’s round-up

fter a great deal of arm twisting I have entered the realm of social media and would love for you to visit my new Facebook page. Search for Cr Greg Rogerson and let me know if you like the page and the different projects that I’m working on as your local representative.

The Riverside Christian Church hosted a Thank you night at the Top Café in Kenilworth to thank and honour local people who demonstrate leadership and self-sacrifice for the benefit of the community. Community volunteers and representatives from SES, Qld Fire and Rescue, Chamber of Commerce, P&C, First Response and the Hall committee were treated to this special event which is part of a nation-wide initiative. My wife, Lesley, joined me for the evening and I was so pleased to be able to thank her for the amazing support she gives me on a daily basis even on the days when my public role comes before family commitments. There are many special people in our community who make a real difference and it was a lovely opportunity to acknowledge that the work they do as volunteers and in their public positions is appreciated. Word on the street is that the new entry signs to Kenilworth will be installed from 17 June - keep an eye out for them. Catch you in the Valley.

Ambulances Ordered Off Obi Obi Road I have recently been advised that our local Ambulance Officers have been told to stop driving on the Obi Obi Road, because some ambulance vehicles have been damaged on the Range section of the road. This decision adds a significant amount of time for ambulances travelling to the Kenilworth area and could in fact be the difference between life and death. The road must be made safe for everyday motorists and ambulance officers. As a result of this decision I have requested that the Minister for Police and Community Safety and the Minister for Transport and Main Roads travel the road with me, in an Ambulance, to see for themselves the condition of this road. I am concerned that the Department of Main Roads considers the road safe enough for motorists to drive on but our local Ambulance administrators do not believe that it is safe enough for their trained drivers to use. I believe that if the road is not safe enough for trained Ambulance drivers to navigate it is about time that the Government spent the money needed to upgrade the Obi Obi Road or built an Ambulance Station in Kenilworth.

Grab a green bin and save

hey’re convenient, cost-effective and help keep the local environment clean and green. Sunshine Coast Council’s fortnightly green waste bin service is available to all local residences for only $75 per year. Service Delivery Portfolio Councillor Ted Hungerford said having the green waste bin service offered a convenient alternative to taking green waste to the tip by trailer. “Owning or hiring a trailer, loading it up with garden waste and taking it to the local tip is not a convenient option for many local residents so a green waste bin offers a very efficient and cost effective alternative,” he said. “Residents can place grass cuttings; leaves; small branches; weeds and cut up palm fronds in a green waste bin and have it collected every fortnight from their home for $75 per year.” Environment Portfolio Councillor Tony Wellington said the service also helped council to reduce waste that is sent to landfill and maintain best practice waste disposal methods. “Placing green waste in a green waste bin rather than a regular household bin means the plant material is shredded, aged and turned into mulch,” he said. “This mulch is then made available for use by both council and ratepayers. “Thus the green waste is not adding to the organic load in the landfill and this in turn reduces the carbon tax costs from generated methane. “Council’s waste transfer stations are all equipped with the capacity to recycle or re-use many items that are received from households and businesses.” Residents can order a green waste bin by contacting the customer service centre on 5475 7272 or visiting council’s website: www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

Recycle old analog TVs for free

he analog signal may be dead and buried on the Sunshine Coast but old TV sets don’t need to be. Residents can reduce the amount of waste going to landfill by recycling their televisions and computer equipment for free at local tips during June. Sunshine Coast Council’s Environment Portfolio Councillor Tony Wellington said electronic waste was the fastest growing type of waste in Australia but materials in these items could be re-used. “With the recent switch from analog signal to digital, residents may have old TVs that they can no longer use,” Cr Wellington said. “But these don’t need to end up in landfill – they can actually be recycled free of charge at council’s tips and resource recovery centres. “More than 93% of material in televisions and computers is suitable for re-use. “Council is working with Drop Zone to provide a number of free e-waste recycling events for the community over

the coming weeks. These will start at Noosa landfill plus Pomona and Cooroy transfer stations on Saturday 1 June.” Cr Wellington said 119 tonnes of electronic waste – the equivalent of about 10 semi-trailer loads – was recycled during similar free e-waste events on the Coast in February and March. “Diverting 119 tonnes of e-waste from landfill was a fantastic result,” he said. “We’re expecting this amount to double following the June e-waste recycling events.” The e-waste recycling initiative is part of the Australian Government’s National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme, which aims to boost the recycling rate of electronic waste. Visit council’s website for June e-waste recycling dates and locations www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

LIFE CHATS

am a passionate eye surveyor. No official qualifications behind my name, but none-the-less, love what I do. If you gaze into human eyes they communicate so much. Eyes portray many things: innocence, love, enquiry, knowledge, magic, vibrancy, trust, sincerity, wonder, creativity, grief, sadness, loneliness, happiness and joy. There are of course, “official”, eye surveyors called, Iridologists, who use a technique based on the belief that the appearance of the iris in the eye can provide evidence of health problems in the body. Now and then I love nothing more than taking a moment to look into the eyes of my children. Often certain events make it extra special. Nicola my eldest, often takes it upon herself to cook the family dinner. When the plates arrive around our kitchen table, her blue eyes shine with pride. Lachy my son, on arrival home from school, his first question is always, “What’s for dinner Mum?” I love nothing more than uttering, “Oh mate, we’re just having a roast tonight”. His brown eyes sparkle, dance and then start surveying the kitchen for good hard evidence that a roast is indeed on. Allana, my horse rider extraordinaire, a phone call from Tracey her horse riding instructor advising that horse riding will be on the weekend and Allana’s hazel eyes brim with excitement and happiness. Lastly but not least, Sarah my youngest, her hazel eyes most content at bedtime with lying close to her, scratching her back and telling a bedtime story. Her eyes, glow with warmth and love. They say the eyes are the heart and soul of a person. Sometime soon, give yourself a beautiful experience and gaze into the eyes of those you love. Better still; tell them you love them at the same time. It’s pretty powerful. Beverley Bradford “I believe that the basic attribute of mankind is to look after each other” Fred Hollows.
