KPC NEWS

atilda and Bronte Law competed in the Zone 6 One Day Event (dressage, showjumping, cross country) on the weekend of 25 and 26 May. Both girls competed in their first One Day Event in the Unofficial Beginners 70cm class with Bronte placing a credible 7th and Matilda winning the class. Widgee Gymkhana was held on Sunday 2 June and KPC was represented by Caeli Hinkler, Alice Gillis, Jodi Gillis, Rachael Law and Sonia Law. Competition was hard due to very thick sand with both horses and riders tiring quickly – at least it didn’t rain! Alice placed 3rd overall in the 13 years age group and Rachael 1st overall in the Associates (17-25 years). Caeli had no success this time, competing with 14 in the 11 year old age group. Well done to all participating in these events.

In 1925

rom the pages of the Nambour Chronicle published March 6, 1925, featured on page seven was the following report:Motor Traffic Mr. H. Fritz has started a motor passenger service from Eumundi. This makes three passenger services, including the mail car. Sims Bros. recently purchased an additional “Reo” truck for conveyance of cream to Brooloo. Over 400 gallons of cream is now carried to Mary Valley Line each trip. While conveying passengers to the pictures the mail contractor’s car collided with a tree and overturned. None of the passengers were injured. The car was damaged. Mr. S. Kelly recently purchased a Willys-Knight car, while Scott Bros. have also a fine new car. Mr. T. White has also purchased a two-ton truck. Wireless Mr. E.A. (Ern) Sims has been very successful with his new wireless set. The progress scores of the fifth Test match were received. On Saturday news of the Englishmen’s collapse came through by the same channel.

2013 XXXX GOLD VARIETY BASH FUNDRAISER KENILWORTH BOWLS CLUB

nce again this year the Kenilworth Bowls Club is holding a fundraiser for the 2013 XXXX Gold Variety Bash on Saturday July 6. The day will start with a Calcutta of the bowls teams at 12 noon with barefoot bowls commencing at 1pm. After bowls there will be an auction of some great items. A multi draw raffle will also be held. All funds raised from green fees, the auction and the raffle will go to Variety. We will also have Karaoke and meals will be available from 6pm to 8pm. This is a great chance to come along and have a go at bowls and have heaps of fun whilst helping this great cause. This year the bash is called ‘Sun, Saddles and Surf’ and it is travelling from Emerald to Mission Beach via the Mt Isa Rodeo. Variety, the children’s charity is dedicated to improving the quality of life for Queensland children who are sick, disadvantaged or who have special needs. Variety is involved in everything from providing Sunshine Coaches for school children in remote communities, communication and mobility devices, wheelchairs and walking frames, camps, learning aides and much more. For enquiries or to put your name or team in for bowls please phone Veronica on 0427 460 281.

Better Weather The exceptionally hot weather terminated in a copious downpour. Nearly five inches (127mm) were registered for the week. Annual Show Meeting The annual meeting of the Show Committee is fixed for March 7. Bridge Work Workmen have made good progress in erecting a second bridge over Belli Creek. The decking is also on the site for the erection of a bridge near Mr. Sims’ property on the Kenilworth Road. (This refers to the original bridge constructed by members of the community on the “old road” which was replaced by the current route over Gheerulla Creek in 1940). There may appear to be a great concentration on the number of vehicles in the district in this article but considering that the Brisbane Courier reported on 11 July, 1925, page 5 that 342 new registrations were made for the week ended July 7 comprising 303 cars and trucks, and 30 cycles, with a total of 30,700 registered in the State. This compares with the Australian Bureau of Statistics State Registration census data of 3,492,311 vehicles registered in Queensland in 2012. http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/ abs@.nsf/mf/9309.0 In 1925 motor vehicles appeared to still be a novelty in the district – much like the radio!

Hope to see you there!

KENILWORTH

Greetings Kenilworthians!

irstly, a big thank you to the SES who assisted with a mentally and physically taxing job recently where a male had fallen from a great height from the Mapleton Falls National Park and unfortunately did not survive. The location of the male was in an area that was far too thick with scrub and bouldered terrain for vehicles to get to and as a result, a number of SES volunteers walked 40 to 50 minutes into the scrub, collected the male and walked him out again to be handed over to undertakers. This task was made even harder by nightfall which had well and truly set in by the time they were on their way out. The SES volunteers showed no hesitation whatsoever to assist in the retrieval operation and for that, I am sincerely grateful. Then they were out again in their own time helping with traffic control, set up and pull down of the wonderful ANZAC day service here in Kenilworth. Next time you see an SES worker, make sure you let them know how appreciative of their services we are! Secondly… over the months prior to Christmas last year, a few things took place within the division that made it clear to me that at times, throughout the long hours of the night, there can be persons engaged in criminal activity moving through the area who are very comfortable in the knowledge that there is unlikely to be a police presence due to the one officer station situation out here. One such incident was the arson of a stolen (stolen from northern NSW) Holden Commodore sedan in Pioneer Park, Gheerulla, which no-one saw occur even though it would have been highly visible to motorists on the Eumundi Kenilworth Road had they driven past at the time. Another was the graffiti to one of the stores here in Kenilworth (still unsolved). As a result, I consulted my superiors and subsequently decided to randomly roster myself to night work, as in right through to 5 or 6am, on order to try and capture a picture of who is out and about, or travelling through the Kenilworth Division right throughout the division. My hope is that by doing this from time to time, the comfort enjoyed by those engaged in criminal activity throughout the area at night is shaken up a little and therefore, the criminal activity, and subsequent impacts, it can have on our community is reduced. Recently, I worked through the night for two consecutive nights along with some additional resources such as the Roadside Drug Testing Unit and the State Traffic Task

Force. These additional resources bring the capability to automatically read number plates and obviously test drivers for being under the influence of drugs. Over the two nights, we intercepted two driver’s under the influence of drugs, one cannabis and the other methyl amphetamines, a driver under the influence of liquor, a number of vehicles that were unregistered and a driver who had allowed his licence to expire 10 years ago! We also intercepted a driver who had a large, sharp knife in the driver’s side door well. All in all, a high number of persons were spoken to there was only a very small number of persons picked up for doing the wrong thing or for choosing to endanger the lives of others, and their own, by driving whilst under the influence of liquor or a drug. I was very encouraged and pleased by the huge number of persons who were driving and behaving safely and responsibly. From time to time, this process will be repeated because protecting the members of our community from the impacts of crime and preventable road crashes and therefore injuries or worse, is both my obligation, and my highest priority. If you have any feedback, or information that may assist the timings of patrols, I strongly urge you to contact me and have a discussion. We need to work together as a team to keep this area as crime and road trauma free as possible. Finally… speaking of working together as a team, recently while working on a Saturday night, I received a tip off from one of you, that there was going to be a very large Facebook party mainly consisting of drunken juveniles at the Obi Obi Crossing No.2 camping areas. This would have been a repeat of what occurred last November/ December where glass was shattered all over the road and public toilets were vandalised. However because of the early information, we were able to shut the party down and move them on by 9:30pm and there was no smashed glass, and no damaged property. I thank you so much for help like that. The community benefited and saved tax payers money as a result. That’s the sort of team work that makes a community florish. So, thanks again. Stay safe out there, and please, don’t hesitiate to contact me on 07 5446 0220, email me at Humphrys.AdamJ@ police.qld.gov.au or phone crime stoppers on 1800 333 000.

MAPLETON STATE SCHOOL

Celebrating our Environment

hat better way to celebrate World Environment Day on 05 June, than to be outdoors in the fresh air among friends and family? Well Mapleton State School students did just that! Students spent the morning planting a range of edible native fruit trees in their bush tucker garden that borders the beautiful Baxter Creek within the school grounds. Squeals of delight could be heard as the older students worked with their younger buddies planting, watering and mulching the delectable additions which have been added to the gardens in Mapleton school spectacular grounds. Amy, a year 7 student at the school, has come to Mapleton from the UK and was delighted to plant her first tree! “I’ve never done anything like this! We never had a garden in England – only bitumen and cement.” The Mapleton students continued on with the celebrations by walking to the Mapleton Lily Ponds in the local community to enjoy a Teddy Bear’s Picnic. Mums, dads, younger siblings, grandparents and staff from the school all joined in the frivolities with the children and their teddy bears in the park at the lily ponds. A great World Environment Day was had by all!

(Ida Smith) went to school at Mapleton. Noel’s parents and their siblings followed them into the school, as did Noel and his three brothers and sister. After Noel left Mapleton SS in 1964, he attended Nambour SHS for three years. For the next ten years, Noel did various jobs, including seasonal fruit picking, working for the Council and Forestry Department. In 1974, when the mining industry seemed like a good financial option, Noel headed for Dysart and worked there for 12 years. With his own truck, he then carted sand and gravel for a company in Mackay for a couple of years. Then followed a few years working on properties, scrub pulling, fencing, excavator work and bulldozing. All of this experience gave Noel the expertise to set up his own mowing business at Mapleton. As a natural progression, Noel accepted contract work mowing the school grounds, then took on the job of groundsman when it became a permanent position. Noel commented that the grounds and facilities at Mapleton School have changed over time. The school house has been shifted - now it houses Katie Rose Boutique and the Information Centre - making way for a much needed carpark. Four buildings and connecting walkways have been constructed. What was the school horse paddock was developed as Galbiri Oval in 1997/98.

NOEL IS RETIRING

he grounds at Mapleton State School are the envy of many other school communities. Beautifully kept lawns, ovals and facilities have been the responsibility of Noel Simpson who has been the groundsman at the school for 16 years. Noel is one of a long list of family members who attended Mapleton State School. His great-grandfather was a pioneer of the Mapleton district, and Noel’s grandmother

The 2013 School Athletics Day will also mark Noel’s retirement, a fitting showcase for all of Noel’s hard work. The Mapleton School community wishes Noel and his wife, Cathie, residents of Imbil, a long, happy and healthy retirement spent doing what they love most.

MARY VALLEY

Our front cover story

cclaimed chef Matt Golinski won everyone’s hearts as well as their palates on Sunday 8 June at the Mary Valley Country Flavours event in Imbil. Rainy weather did not keep the throngs of people away from the enticing aromas that drifted from Imbil’s Centre Park where Mr Golinski cooked up a storm with local Mary Valley produce. The event was part of the Mary Valley Country Flavours project, created by Mary Valley Inc to link the tourism, hospitality and agriculture sectors through developing and marketing product under the new “Flavours” brand. Businesses involved in the project have participated in barista training and business mentoring, growers have been networking and meeting buyers, and the project brought Mr Golinski to the valley to cook and promote its local flavours. The chef’s easy going nature made the day a great success and he was happy to chat with the inquisitive crowd during his demonstrations, sharing some of his culinary secrets. He cooked three sessions using local beef, pork and chicken with fruit and vegetables from accredited Mary Valley Country Flavours producers’ stalls at the markets. “It was awesome to work with a community who are so passionate about their local food and to be part of such a great event” said Matt who also personally launched the Farm to Business Trade Directory 2013 on behalf of the project. The directory promotes the “get local” campaign and lists producers as well as produce categories, markets, wholesalers, distributors and retailers of Flavours products and food service databases. Mr Golinski then went shopping at the accredited producers’ market stalls for five ingredients to create mystery bags, which he then presented to three participants in the local Ready, Steady, Cook session.

Imbil Bowls Club chef Rainer Kruse and cooks Nicky Watson and Debbie Williams were asked to create a meal in 30 minutes and impressed everyone with their culinary skills. “Matt Golinski is an inspiration in life and in food. What an honour it was to work with him, sharing his passion for cooking with fresh, local and nutritious produce” said Nicky Watson from Upper Kandanga. Mr Golinski wrapped up the day with his final demonstration where he also used the same five ingredients to cook yet another creation, saying that the demonstration showed the variety of dishes that could come from wonderful fresh and local produce. Project coordinator Lesa Bell said the Flavours accreditation process ensured buyers and retailers that they were purchasing genuine local Mary Valley Product. “The growers and food outlets have been very positive about committing to the accreditation process which asks them to deliver consistent quality product,” she said. Retailers can also participate in this project and display the accreditation logo if they buy from accredited growers. Ms Bell said that this assured the visitor that they were getting genuine local product and would build the brand of the Mary Valley. The MVI project was funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations through the Local Employment Coordinator Flexible Funding Pool. Gympie Regional Council and the Federation for Regional and Rural Renewal also contributed to the funding. Local cooks Debbie Williams (left), Rainer Kruse and Nicky Watson (right) were judged in a cook off by chef Matt Golinski (second right).

OUR COMMUNITY GOOD SHEPHERD MUSICAL RECEIVES RAVE REVIEWS

erforming The Sound of Music to sold-out crowds, Good Shepherd students and staff have been overwhelmed by rave reviews from audiences over the first weekend of June. Held at the Performing Arts Centre at Noosaville State School, the musical was a real spectacle with vibrant sets, amazing costumes and an all singing, dancing and acting ensemble. Accompanied by The Noosa Orchestra, conducted by Antoni Bonetti, the whole venue was literally alive with The Sound of Music. “Students and staff have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback received following the three musical performances on Friday night and Saturday,” said Mr Dyer, Principal Good Shepherd Lutheran College. “It shows the great things our young people are capable of when encouraged and supported by peers, staff and family.” “I have nothing but praise for everyone and this has been echoed in the words of musical goers over the weekend,” he said. • It was an awesome opening night! The students were entertaining, sets beautiful and the orchestra absolutely amazing. Congratulations to the cast and crew and the incredibly dedicated teachers and staff behind the

Hinterland eco-tourism project for discussion at community forum

n 2009 the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Nature-Based Tourism Plan was formed by the State Government. It incorporated four pillars: upgrading the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve; walking trails in Glasshouse Mountains; tourism opportunities in Conondale National Park; and a proposed elevated “Zip Line” canopy tour eco-tourism concept over the top of Obi Obi Valley. Details of the Zip Line Canopy Tour eco-tourism concept are now to be presented at a community forum in Montville. The Zip Line concept involves creating a series of cables connected to selected large trees in the Valley, enabling small guided tours to travel between the trees at heights varying between two and 100 metres, council spokeswoman for the government project and divisional councillor for the area, Jenny McKay said. “The Zip Line experience is an exciting eco-tourism adventure for all ages to enjoy the rainforest from above,” Cr McKay said. “Guests are fitted into separate harnesses to travel along the cable above the canopy. “The cable is connected to ‘cloud stations’ which can provide guests with cultural and environmental information about the area. “One of the best things about the system is that is does not involve installing pylons or other infrastructure on the ground inside the national park.” The community forum will be held on Tuesday, June 25 at Montville Village Hall at 6.30pm (rsvp gwyn.bruce@ sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au or 5441 8137). “Speakers will include State Environment Minister Andrew Powell and National Parks Minister Steve Dickson, along with representatives from State Development, National Parks, Sunshine Coast Destination Ltd, Tourism and Events Queensland, and SEQ Water,” Cr McKay said. “The concept is at the pre-feasibility stage however it represents a wonderful opportunity to develop a tourism attraction which has only minimal impact upon the pristine environment of the Blackall Range.”

OUR P OLITICS Cr Julie Walker July 2013 Newsletter

inter is here with a vengeance and no doubt you will all have your winter woolies out of the cupboards and getting some use. A huge Thank You goes out to the Imbil Fire Brigade for the training exercise which saw the removal of the ‘green poly tank’ from the banks of Yabba Creek beside the Imbil Town Bridge. Thanks guys, job very much appreciated. Our Destination Gympie Tourism Advisory Committee is forging its way forward into the future and as Chair, I would like to call on all of the residents who are in any way related to the tourism industry to make contact with our Destination Gympie Touism office on 5480 5180 or 1800 444 222 or call into the office at Lake Alford and bring along your brochures too. I will be holding information sessions out in the region to meet with tourism operators and to find out what the issues are for each area and these sessions will be an ideal opportunity for people to meet the new members of GRCs advisory Committee. Mary Street motorists, traders and pedestrians will be enjoying the benefits of a Gympie Regional Council project to resurface Mary Street between Monkland and Mellor Street. The materials will be processed at the Gympie Industrial Estate. Works are planned to commence 18 June and, dependant on site and weather conditions, will finish 28 June this year. A member of our local Lake Borumba Fish Stocking Group found an illegal gill net up in Yabba Creek. It had obviously been washed away from its set point in the floods earlier in the year. The net was well snagged up on the bottom with only the cork floats visible above the water. The find has been reported to the DPI who are going to follow up with the fisheries patrol in the area. You may not be aware but these types of nets are deadly to Golden Perch and Bass by snagging a lot of small fish. The new GRC planning scheme was adopted by Council at the Special General Meeting, Wednesday 12 June 2013, the New Town Plan is a culmination of three years work and extensive public consultation. With a 20 year planning horizon, the document embraces significant regulatory reform by reducing red tape and establishing the lowest level of assessment possible for development applications without compromising outcomes. Sunday 10 June Mary Valley Country Flavours invitee, Matt Golinski cooked up a storm in Imbil. Rainy weather didn’t keep the people away from the aromas that drifted from Imbil’s Memorial Park where Mr Golinski cooked up a storm with local Mary Valley produce. Congratulations goes to the organisers of the successful day. Over 50 people attended the June Imbil Rural Watch meeting where Qld Police Commissioner, Mr Ian Stewart, was the guest speaker. Mr Stewart informed the gathering on new initiatives being trialed by Qld Police in conjunction with Local Neighbourhood Watch zones. A big thank you to those concerned for organising the event and guest speaker. 12 | June 26, 2013

As you may have noticed the construction has begun on Section A of the Cooroy to Curra south from Exit 244. This work is expected to be completed by 2016 and will be a welcome extension for Mary Valley residents. Don’t forget, 1st and 3rd Thursday nights training for First Response at the Imbil Fire Brigade Building.

Rogo’s round-up

ouncil has been working to stabilise an eroded bank of the Mary River out at Walli Mountain Rd in Kenilworth. It’s a priority project due to the direct impact on council’s road infrastructure and the aim is to reduce the risk of further erosion during high flow events. Work has been interrupted due to the wet weather we’ve been having however it is expected to be completed soon. Our libraries never cease to amaze me with their new initiatives, the range of activities on offer and their ability to provide new products for Sunshine Coast locals to access for free.

MARY VALLEY

Moy Pocket bridge upgrade underway

rossing the Mary River will soon be safer and easier for Moy Pocket residents, with the $4 million upgrade of Pickering Bridge now underway. Sunshine Coast Council Division 10 Councillor Greg Rogerson and State Member for Gympie David Gibson said the much needed upgrade would be a significant improvement for the residents and quarry vehicle drivers that travel along the road each day.

“This $4 million upgrade will improve parts of Moy Pocket Road and replace the single lane timber bridge with a two lane concrete bridge that will be much safer for local traffic and quarry trucks,” Cr Rogerson said. “The new bridge will be higher than the existing timber structure but may still incur some flooding, as the terrain makes it unreasonably expensive to build high enough to avoid it completely. The existing bridge will remain open while the new one is constructed but some delays are expected. “Funding has been contributed by the state government, Sunshine Coast Council and Gympie Regional Council, highlighting the importance of the strong relationships between governments.” Mr Gibson said the state government had provided $3 million towards the vital project. “The new bridge is a win for locals as they will have a safer, better quality bridge. It is also important for our construction industry as it guarantees the delivery of supplies for the current Bruce Highway upgrades” Mr Gibson said. Gympie Regional Council Division 8 Councillor Julie Walker said the new bridge would improve connectivity in the Mary Valley. “This bridge will be wonderful for the whole Mary Valley as it is one of the major through roads in the area.” The new bridge will be built on the downstream side of the existing bridge and construction is expected to be completed in late 2013. Council carried out environmental assessments and targeted community consultation for this project.

Mystery Solved

he search for Private Michael Kearnan has been solved (ref. MVV November 7 2012 Vol. 22 No.20). He worked at Mt Ubi and enlisted to fight in World War I – not in the Australian Army but with the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces. His service number was 11049. His name is recorded on the Honour Board in Gheerulla Hall. There is still one of the district veterans names to trace that of A. Doud whose name appears on the Obi Honour Board. Could Private Doud also have been from across the ditch?
