Just for the record, New York state produced 336 million kg of yogurt last year, accounting for 16 percent of total U.S. production.

And, a pumpkin grown in Northern California by John Hawkley (pictured below) has been declared the heaviest ever cultivated in North America, and an organisation is arranging to fly the giant gourd to New York where it will be featured in a botanical garden.

ur riders competed at the Gympie Pony Club “One Day Event” (ODE) on the weekend of 11 and 12 October 2014. Matilda Law rode Jimmy in the Official Introductory class to place overall eighth and gain one qualifier for State Championships. With no faults or time penalties in showjumping and only one refusal and being on time in cross country, her dressage score only added 20 faults. Fantastic!

Our chief instructor, Sonia Law, rode Mysti in the Unofficial Seniors Group to place fourth overall out of seven. It was not technical to watch, but effective. By the end of the cross country there was a huge smile!

The results are great considering these two Galloways competed at the State Campdraft, Formal Gymkhana, Sporting and Mounted Games Championships at Taroom two weeks prior. How’s that for versatility!

The 18 and 19 October 2014 was a great muster weekend for members consisting of lessons, flatwork, grids, jump alley, mechanical cow and campdraft! Catering for 100 people on Saturday night proved to be a great fundraiser!

We are incredibly grateful to our instructors: Salena Manning, Gina Nott and Des Brockhurst! We all have homework for over summer after the awesome weekend!

And, a California woman who tried to sneak into a house through the chimney got stuck and had to be rescued by firefighters, who used dish soap to help extricate the sootcovered intruder. Firefighters found her about two metres down the chimney, which they had to take apart brick by brick down to the roof line.

The bond between a rider and horse can become very strong. When the rider transitions to another horse, it can be a very emotional time. Caeli Hinkler (pictured below) has bonded with her pony Prince for more than seven years.

Prince has become celebrity in our club over the last four years helping Caeli to achieve encouragement awards and even place trophies for her age group at hack, dressage and gymkhana events. Prince now moves on to another family in another club. While sad to see him go, we will still see him at Zone 6 events and it is great to see him providing a more junior pony club member such joy.

Meanwhile, back in Australia, an Australian man had a spider removed from his stomach after it burrowed its way into his body and survived for three days before being removed. He was on holidays on the Indonesian island of Bali when the tiny creature burrowed through a small appendix scar and travelled up his torso, leaving a red scar-like trail from his navel to his chest.

And in the UK, an 80ft waterfall flowed UPWARDS so powerful was the tail end of Hurricane Gonzalo. Water was blown back up onto the plateau at the point where it would normally cascade 80ft down the waterfall.

KENILWORTH KENILWORTH COMMUNITY – In earlier times

T

ranscribed from the Chronicle and North Coast Advertiser, Saturday 4 January 1908, page 2.

We had a good time here on Boxing Day. Our new hall (Kenilworth Farmers Assembly Hall now Gheerulla Hall) was to have been opened on the 20th December, but the affair was postponed on account of the day turning out wet till Boxing Day. A couple of cricket matches took place. The first between Kenilworth C.C. and the Bluff C.C. and resulted in a win for our boys after a good match.

A great muster of people turned up and the grounds presented a lively appearance during the afternoon. Fully 160 people must have been present. All seemed to really enjoy themselves but tea time put a stop to the sport.

After tea an adjournment was made to allow people to get their milking done (the beauty of dairying) and be ready for the joviality at night. Dancing was kept going till morning, the hall which can carry six sets, proved none too large for the crowd. Refreshments were served during the night, and all went home well pleased with their outing.

The District News in the local papers usually covered “good news” stories but the sad task of reporting tragic news also fell to the volunteer reporters in the early days.

The following was transcribed from the Chronicle and North Coast Advertiser 21.11.1913, page 5.

FATAL COACH ACCIDENT A sad fatality occurred on Friday last when a young man named John Boyle met his death under tragic circumstances. The deceased had recently started a cream coach, plying between the Bluff and Eumundi. It appears he had a young horse in the team and on coming down a steep pinch on the road near the river the horse became unmanageable turning round in the road and causing the wagon to turn completely over. A passenger who was on the coach managed to jump clear but the unfortunate driver was pinned underneath the seat, the whole weight of the coach falling on him, death was instantaneous. No time was lost by the passenger in summoning help and after some delay, which is always inevitable in country places, the body of the young man was conveyed to Eumundi.

Much sympathy is expressed for his sorrowing relatives as the deceased was well-known and popular here. He had a brother residing in Nambour, and his father at Toowong.

The internment took place at Eumundi, on Saturday, Rev. Fr Murphy of Gympie officiating.

Gheerulla Cemetery Traditions

uring my childhood on every Mothers Day Sunday my aunts and uncles tended their parents and other family graves – cleaning them and repainting the surrounds.

These tasks were completed out of love and respect they had for their family members.

As their siblings aged and passed away the number of family graves in Gheerulla Cemetery increased and now it has fallen to the next generation to attend to regular maintenance. This week the children and grandchildren of some of the residents of the cemetery continued the tradition of caring for the graves. With the help of a gurney, generator, a huge amount of water and some elbow grease headstones and surrounds were cleaned and respect paid to those no longer on this earth.

The staff at the Cemeteries Office of the Sunshine Coast Council were most helpful in facilitating this “working bee”. It must be remembered that before any works relating to maintenance or repairs can be undertaken within the cemetery, an application must be made to Cemetery Office of the Sunshine Coast Council at Kulangoor Memorial Sanctuary, 31-89 Ackerman Road, Kulangoor via Nambour Qld 4560, phone (07) 5459 2300 or email: cemeteries@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

CHEERIO FROM THE CHURCHES

S

t Luke’s Day was celebrated with Holy Eucharist at St Luke’s Anglican Church in Kenilworth on Sunday 19 October. The celebrant was the Right Reverend Dr Jonathan Holland, Bishop of the Northern Region.

This service is held annually to mark the special day for St Luke, “the beloved physician” and to give thanks to all our local healthcare workers – our local doctors, Kenilworth 1st Responders, Anglicare, Upper Mary Valley Care, our counsellors and all involved in the many aspects of healthcare. St Luke is also the patron saint of artists. Dr Matthew Cooper read the first reading and we were happy to welcome local healthcare representatives and members of Kenilworth Arts Council.

It was a very happy occasion with many visitors from St George’s, Maleny and St Mary’s, Montville and from St John Bosco, the Uniting and Lutheran and other faiths. Our sincere thanks to all who contributed in any way to Instant Access to Satellite TV make St Luke’s Day such a happy all digital channels, no ongoing fees celebration.

KENILWORTH R.S.L. NEWS

Remembrance Day Memorial Service has been held at the Kenilworth cenotaph since 2012 and this year’s service will be held once again on 11 November starting at 10.45 am. There are some traditions that are observed on each Remembrance Day. • The date and time eg 11th hour of the 11th month each year which was the time when the ceasefire was announced in 1918 and the guns were silenced - World War I ended.

• A Royal Canadian Army Doctor noticed that despite the devastation of the landscape the red poppies of Flanders grew everywhere between the graves of fallen soldiers in the Spring of 1915 which inspired him to write the poem “In Flanders Fields”. This poem is read at every Remembrance Day ceremony.

• In 1918 Moina Michael, an American, wrote a poem to reassure everyone that the torch would be handed on from the those who fell to the next generation who would honour their sacrifice. History has shown that it has been so in every conflict since then. Moira Michael promised to wear a poppy “in honour of our dead”.

• In 1918, Madame Guerin, a French woman, began selling silk poppies to raise funds to help needy soldiers. This practice began in Australia in 1921. The R.S.L. sells poppies every Remembrance Day for Australians to pin on their lapels to show that they have not forgotten the thousands of servicemen and women who have given their lives. The money raised goes into a fund used to undertake welfare work for the servicemen who have died.

On November 11, 1918 when Germany signed an armistice that ended World War I, 61 512 Australian soldiers had been killed or died of wounds or disease and 152 000 had been wounded.

FORMER KENILWORTH STUDENTS IN THE RUNNING

here’s no doubt something about our Kenilworth kids - they go on to do amazing things! Former Kenilworth kids (now all grown up!), Vicki Fennelly (daughter of Mavis and Eddie McGinn) and David Nahrung (son of Bevan and Judy Nahrung) lined up on 2 November to run in the New York Marathon in which over 55 000 runners from all over the world participated in the 42.2 km race. This race runs through the five burrows of the city, finishing at Central Park.

Vicki and David are related through the McGinn/Pickering families - early settlers in the Kenilworth area. Vicki and David grew up on neighbouring farms and both attended Kenilworth State School. Vicki, a Genetic Counsellor, is now married, living in Brisbane while David, also married, is a GP in Townsville.

terrain resulting in very sore feet initially and sore muscles in the next few days. The solo walkers need to be congratulated walking approx. 34 hours to complete this epic journey. As well as the name on the brick of the fallen Queensland soldier, the walkers carried small crosses with poppies attached remembering grandfathers and great grandfathers of local Noosa people.

The team: Ken Edwards, Rob Carrett, Mick Blumentals, Peter Williams, Julie Edwards, Hilary Lammiman, Judy Malzard, Judy Williams, Renee Blake, Andrew Broad, Allan Payton, Chris Taylor, Kylie Pritchard, Don McKill, Sarah Anisimoff, Miffy McKill.

Solo Walkers: Steve Hatton and Rhiannon Walton.

David who is attempting the marathon for the second time has quite a history of running. He has participated in the Melbourne Marathon, the Six Foot Track in the Blue Mountains and the Boston, Chicago and London Marathons.

Vicki and David, Kenilworth is proud of you!

World War I Memorial Walk

n October the Noosa Heads Surf Club was one of the proud sponsors of the 100km World War I Memorial Walk from Woodford to The Gap in Brisbane through the D’Aguilar National Park. Each member carried a brick weighing 2.9kg with the name of a WW1 Veteran from Queensland, killed in action. Each brick they carried will be placed in storage until 2018 when the memorial wall will be built at Walton Street Bridge, The Gap. The walk in itself was organised by Mates4Mates, an organisation started by soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, assisting wounded, injured, and ill, current and ex-service personnel and their families.

Mates4Mates walkers sponsored by the Noosa Surf Club organised by Peter Williams

The Noosa team consisted of two solo walkers and four relay teams made up of four members walking approx.

KENILWORTH CHICKS IN the STICKS high tea 2014

Our front cover story “We can’t thank them enough. We already have people wanting to come to next year’s high tea on Sunday, October 25.”

The charity auction was popular, the raffles very well supported and the music provided by harpist Dr Judy Flieter and “That 60’s Guy” Robbie McGowan was well received.

There are prizes awarded each year to people at the high tea. This year’s winners are: CHICK IN THE STICKS 2014 Jan Caldwel (pictured here)

I

t was the dawn of a new era when The Shed, the new function centre at Yabbaloumba Retreat near Kenilworth in the Mary Valley, was opened on October 19 by more than 100 ladies decked out in their best pink finery.

The Chicks in the Sticks high tea, which raises money for breast cancer research, was the inaugural function in The Shed and was followed the next weekend by a wedding reception.

The Shed is just as it is named but its like no other shed you have ever seen. Lloyd and Barbara Campbell who own it were determined to make sure its style fitted with the glorious landscape of the Mary Valley and that it was finished in time for the high tea.

More than $4,000 was raised for Cancer Council Queensland where one in 11 women will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer before the age of 75.

High tea organising committee spokeswoman Kelli Hoyes said the handful of volunteers who organised the high tea were delighted with the response from guests to the fourth annual Chicks in the Sticks high tea.

“People really enjoyed it and loved having the high tea in The Shed,” she said.

“We have been delighted and at the same time humbled by the way people and businesses have supported us with donations of goods and time.

OUR COMMUNITY

T

Life Chats …

here has been a rumbling trend floating around for many years now. People have gained much ground on what they are wanting to consume into their body. Many are choosing an “organic” lifestyle ethos.

The organic food industry has exploded. In the Australian organic food sector alone, sales are on a steep incline at a yearly rate of 25%.

Personally, I have the opinion we are just turning the corner back to basics of years gone by. How many of you can remember great grandparents, grandparents and your own parents existing off the land and consuming foods grown in their own backyards or farms? I can. Fond and vivid memories return of both my grandfathers’ being formidable vegetable growers in their time. Today, I am grateful for a husband who carries this same wonderful gene.

The simple fact to all this, “organic preaching”, is that organic gardeners do not use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides on their plants. Gardening organically is also much more than what you don’t do. When you garden organically, you think of your plants as part of a whole system within nature that starts in the soil and includes the water supply, people, wildlife and even insects. An organic gardener strives to work in harmony with natural systems and to minimize and continually replenish any resources the garden consumes.

Hubby has a longstanding grand plan of achieving selfsustainability on our hill in the Obi. One which we all support as a family. We are pretty passionate about food and love nothing better than harvesting and devouring the produce which abounds from his garden plot.

There are many positives in eating produce of organic nature. The most significant aspect we have come to witness is the indisputable taste difference. You also simply can’t beat the freshness, colour and nutritional benefits of produce you have lovingly nurtured from seedling to mature plant.

Grab those shovels, overturn soil, mulch, plant your seedlings and embark on organic gardening principles. It may just be the best prescription you can give yourself for a lifetime of better health.

“The first supermarket supposedly appeared on the American landscape in 1946. That is not very long ago. Until then, where was all the food? Dear folks, the food was in homes, gardens, local fields, and forests. It was near kitchens, near tables, near bedsides. It was in the pantry, the cellar, the backyard.”

Laughing Out Loud!

An old farmer and his wife go off to bed one night. The farmer was beat after shifting sheep all day. After being in bed for a few minutes, she says to him “Remember when you used to hold my hand?”, so he holds her hand for a few minutes, then turns over to go to sleep. Then she says “Can you kiss me like you did when you were young?”

So he rolls over and kisses her, then turns back to go to sleep. Then she says “Do you remember how you used to bite me on the neck?” so he pulls back the blanket to get out of bed. She says, “Where are you going?” and he replies, sighing, “to get my teeth”.

MARY VALLEY IMBIL POLICE BRIEFS

L

egislation in relation to vehicle impoundment for traffic offences has now been in effect for 12 months.

The offences are split into two categories – Type 1 vehicle related offences which includes Dangerous Operation of a Vehicle, Careless driving of a motor vehicle, Racing and speed trials on roads, wilfully start or drive a motor vehicle in a way which makes unnecessary noise (burn out) or Driver of vehicle fail to stop for Police.

For the first Type 1 vehicle related offence in a five year period, the vehicle may be impounded for 90 days. For a subsequent offence within five years, the vehicle may be impounded until a Court matter is finalised, with an application for the vehicle to be forfeited.

Type 2 vehicle related offences include Driving an uninsured and unregistered motor vehicle, driving a vehicle without a current licence (including suspension), Drive or in charge of a motor vehicle over the high alcohol limit, fail to supply a specimen of breath or blood, drive under 24 hour suspension for drink driving, driving a vehicle unlawfully modified and high end speeding (over 40km/hr above the limit).

For a first offence in a five year period, a driver will be given a pre-impoundment notice. For a second offence in a five year period, the vehicle may be impounded for seven days. For a third offence in a five year period, the vehicle may be impounded for 90 days. For any subsequent offence in a five year period, the vehicle may be impounded until the Court matter is finalised, with an application for the vehicle to be forfeited.

In all the above, it does not matter whether the driver of the vehicle is the owner, the impoundment may still be performed. When a vehicle is impounded, it is towed by an authorised towing company and the driver / owner of the vehicle is responsible for any towing or storage fees. The vehicle will not be released until the fees are paid.

Queensland Transport will no longer be issuing registration labels for vehicles.

Since 1 October 2014, it is no longer a requirement to: • attach a label to a vehicle being registered • remove old labels and attach new ones for each renewal • request replacements (for example, due to a broken windscreen).

• issue a vehicle registration certificate following a registration renewal payment (if no changes were made with the payment).

This initiative does not apply to heavy vehicles (over 4.5 tonne GVM - excluding Special Purpose Vehicles and conditionally registered vehicles) or recreational vessels.

TMR has developed and implemented an online tool that allows customers to check the expiry date for the registration of any vehicle they plan to drive. This service has been available since 1 January 2014, and can be found on the Queensland Government website at www.qld.gov.au/checkrego A reminder that it is up to the driver of a vehicle to ensure that the vehicle is registered and insured before they drive it on a road.

Glenda will be on leave during November 2014. Imbil Police Station will not be operating ‘office hours’ during her absence. This means no Queensland Transport (drivers licence) or Main Roads (vehicle registration) duties will be performed at Imbil Station during November 2014.

We cannot guarantee when the office will be open during November, so if you wish to attend the Station for any reason, please ring to check that the Police will be available. Most likely, the telephone will be diverted to Gympie. You can give the operator a message and they will e-mail us and we will contact you when possible.

OUR COMMUNITY Beef tea and knitted socks heritage calendar a perfect gift

W

hat do beef tea and knitted socks have in common?

These are items you would find on the home front during World War 1. The 2015 Sunshine Coast Council’s Heritage calendar focuses on the years 1914 to 1918 in commemoration of the centenary of World War 1.

Community Programs Portfolio Councillor Jenny McKay said the 2015 Heritage Calendar is a wonderful collaboration between Council’s Cultural Heritage Services Unit and Sunshine Coast community museums and other organisations.

“In acknowledgement of the centenary, Sunshine Coast Council, in collaboration with local heritage organisations and private collectors, presents a calendar of Sunshine Coast images capturing daily life on the home front. It was during these years the Australian spirit of volunteering flourished.” Cr McKay said.

“At just $7.50 the calendar will be a great Christmas stocking filler idea for those who have everything or an interest in the region’s cultural heritage.

“People will need to be quick though as last year they sold out very fast.”

Sunshine Coast Council thanks the following community organisations who have contributed images for the 2015 calendar: • Glass House Mountains Community Hall Committee • Landsborough Museum • Peachester History Committee • Nambour Museum • The Bankfoot House Collection • The Friends of Pattemore House • Kenilworth Museum • Buderim Historical Society • Discover Eumundi Heritage and Visitor Centre To purchase a copy of the 2015 Heritage Calendar visit http://library.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/sitePage. cfm?code=heritage-merchandise

Rogo’s round-up

recently had the pleasure of visiting the Kirbys Road Environmental Reserve that is accessed via lower Suses Pocket Road. This 213 hectare site is located in the upper Mary River catchment and was purchased by council in 2011 under the Environment Levy Land Acquisition Program.

Under this program, council has bought a total of 2760 hectares of land for conservation since the early 90s.

Council chose to acquire the Kirbys Road site because it is a key link between the core areas of Kondilla National Park and Maleny National Park. There are also five regional ecosystems within this reserve, including three rainforests areas.

The site was formerly used for dairy production and cattle grazing but since being bought by council it has undergone a range of restoration works to improve the ecological values for flora and fauna species, including the planting of 1800 trees in partnership with the local community.

What council is doing at this reserve aims to improve habitat connectivity between the lower and upper reaches of the Mary River catchment and extend the breeding range of endangered species like the Mary River Cod and the Mary River Turtle.

It’s wonderful stuff that council and the community are doing for the betterment of the Sunshine Coast and a great example of your environment levy at work.

Dousing fire danger As the summer season approaches, I’m pleased to let you know that Unitywater will be investing in the Kenilworth community by upgrading the local fire service infrastructure.

From December, Unitywater will replace three fire mains and upgrade all fire hydrants in the area to enhance the performance of the water network.

What’s this about?

The Sunshine Coast Airport expansion, the solar farm, Sekisui House and EDV are all major issues that council is dealing with at the moment. While most of these may not directly impact the daily lives of hinterland residents, they all have ramifications for the future of our entire region. If you’d like to know more about any of these I’ll be more than happy to discuss them in detail at the next Kenilworth Chamber of Commerce and Community Association meeting on Wednesday November 12 at 7.30pm at the Kenilworth Information area.
