KENILWORTH Kenilworth State College BATTER UP

ocal Kenilworth State Community College student, Hugh Anstey (pictured), was recently selected in the Sunshine Coast Region Softball team to compete at the State Primary School Softball Championships held at Noosa. Hugh’s team was victorious and won the State Championship after three days of fierce competition with primary school players from around the State. Our congratulations go to Hugh who is an exceptional athlete in many fields. In 2010, Hugh has competed at state level in swimming and now softball.

Memories of Audrey Purtell (nee Burley)

ome years ago Mrs Purtell wrote this letter after reading a small article about St Matthews in the Anglican newspaper “Focus”. It is truly a “Gift from the Past”. From the age of three to sixteen when I went to boarding school, my parents and I attended St Matthews. We lived just along on the hill where the Lower Kenilworth school and residence were situated. My mum and I used to walk through the bush (on Hilder’s property) to dust and pretty up the church for weddings etc. Rev. Taylor used to visit the school and then come over to dinner (Squizzy Taylor the adults called him). We saw a few priests come and go - the last one was Rev Glazier. You will notice a tombstone there (at Gheerulla Cemetery) for Ronnie Liekefett who was only fourteen when he died which saddened we children. I remember my Dad who was headmaster leaving all we children in the care of my mother while he attended the funeral. Children didn’t go to funerals in those days. It is nice to know the church is still there and you people are caring for the area. Audrey Purtell (nee Burley) Historical Note:After several years of vigorous debate the Anglican Parishes of Gympie and Nambour agreed to relinquish some of their territory and the formation of the Parochial District of the Mary Valley was declared. Bishop Le Fanu inducted the Rev Joseph Taylor as the Vicar in Christ Church, Imbil on 27 October 1925.

During the construction of St Matthews in 1926, Rev Taylor (a builder by trade) supervised the sizeable army of volunteers. Mr Harry Gordon donated the splendid timber for the Altar, Communion Rails and Prayer Desk. The Rev Taylor constructed the Altar. Mr. Burley (Audrey’s father) was headmaster at the Lower Kenilworth School from 1925 until 1938. If there are any letters describing events in the district from bygone years tucked away in your household - please consider loaning them to the Kenilworth Museum for recording as more “Gifts from the Past”.

KENILWORTH R.S.L. SUB-BRANCH NEWS

ur first raffle, at the local “Hotel Kenilworth”, raised some much needed funds for the R.S.L. that we will be able to distribute to charities within our town. Well done to all those who donated the raffle goodies and to all the local people who participated in buying tickets. These raffles will continue each Friday night between 5.00 5.30pm so come along and join the fun and the possibility of winning one of the prizes. Our second raffle went off with even more gusto, so the R.S.L. will soon be able to start handing out some monies to some worthy causes around town. Once again we thank those who have been donating towards the raffles and even more thanks to those that helped out and purchased tickets and especially to Steve Conway, for not only supplying a prize, but for the use of the “fab” Kenilworth pub. I remind all that 11 November is Remembrance Day, and as soon as I receive the poppies and other merchandise from R.S.L. H.Q. they will go on sale from almost all our shops and businesses around town. I urge everyone to buy one, the proceeds all go to Legacy, a worthy and worthwhile charity. I also urge all our citizens that can make it, to attend a short service to honour those that gave their lives and also those who are scattered around the world now, fighting for freedom and democracy. “LEST WE FORGET” Peter Adams Vice President Dale Ainsworth Public Relations Officer October 13, 2010 |

KENILWORTH Kenilworth art Celebrates! 2010

hat a great weekend. Kenilworth a small community in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland with a population of less than 300 people hosted the coveted “Kenilworth Art Prize”, a $15.000 Acquisitive Painting Prize. David Paulson with his painting “Autumn Pool, Maleny” was the well deserved winner of the Kenilworth Art Prize. Kim Morris, President of Kenilworth Arts Council, and the Festival Organiser Rod Bloomer both confirmed the very high standard in this year’s festival entries. The inaugural $2000 LGI/KAC Trophy Competition was won by local artist Pauline Adair with her Triptych “Boy on a Trampoline”. Pauline also won a $600 trophy made by Sunshine Coast wood artist Peter Farkus. The prize was presented by Rod Bloomer on behalf of the board of Landfill Gas Industries. The weekend started with the ever popular Poet’s Breakfast (see photo bottom right) early on Saturday morning. It was a great hit with the early birds. The performances of the poets left the crowd in stitches. The weather first looking grim changed as the morning went on and ended up being a bright and wonderful contribution to the performances.

A few bar hopper bikes were on display but it was mainly the true bikers contribution who have a passion for the art of motorcycling. It is easy to get all wrapped up in this passion during a long or short ride to Kenilworth. They rarely allow their motorcycle to sit for more than a short break to have a bite and a drink. Birgit Kehr event’s Show and Shine organiser and photographer commented on the unity of the different bike groups. “We never had any problems with motorbike riders in Kenilworth, they help our local community by coming along and we like to show some appreciation for that”. Brett A. Jones, well known graphite artist, and one of the art workshops tutor was on side to help out. Greg from Suncoast Hydroblast and Little Toney’s airbrush skills were shown at the festival. The BikeHer’s clothing range was on show and Paul from MAD Motorbike gear came out with their promotional ute and displayed their racing bikes. A newcomer this year was the United Motorcycle Council. Other contributors to the festival were on Sunday the outstanding Noosa Pipe Band and the Sunshine Coast Symphony Orchestra playing at Kenilworth Homestead.

A stunning “World of Wildlilfe” Exhibiton, was held at the St John Bosco Catholic Church. The town was buzzing with street entertainment on Saturday and Sunday. Phoenix stilt walkers were high above the ground, Charlie Chaplin entertained young and old and buskers from all over the Sunshine Coast were showing their musical talents at the festival. A new entity to the festival was the Art Market. Everybody loved getting around and having a look and buying local products and treasures. The Show and Shine Bike Show took really off this year. Around 180 bikes were parked in the main and side streets of Kenilworth (see photo below). The event was held at the Kenilworth Hotel which also looked after the catering for the connoisseurs of bikes.

Kev Franzi’s Timeline Short Film Festival at the Roxy room at the Kenilworth Museum proved to be popular. The painting workshops (see photo above) are also getting bigger and better each year. Rod Bloomer, the workshop coordinator, has created a niche for art lovers and with his superb choice of tutors he was able to attract students from all over Australia. Once again Kenilworth Celebrates! has contributed to its high expectations by being the best Art Festivals on the Sunshine Coast. This would not be possible without the help of the sponsors, all volunteers and the supportive local community, and the Sunshine Coast Regional Council. Article and photos Birgit Kehr 0438 177 807

And the first three winning entries also receive a 12” x 12” canvas print of their entry. “The theme, ‘My Favourite Things’ is only limited by your imagination! The photo must be taken somewhere on the Sunshine Coast and it needs to be of something you consider to be one of your favourite things. The possibilities are endless – puppies, having fun with friends and sunsets are just a few of my own personal favourite things. It’s worth digging through your photo albums to see if there is anything relevant or get out there and take some new snaps,” explained Christmas in Cooroy Event Manager, Danielle Taylor. The photos will also be on display at the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre in December with an opening night on Friday 3 December, just prior to the official turning on of the lights ceremony at the Christmas Tree in Maple Street, Cooroy. Entry is free and there is a limit of three entries per person. Entries can be submitted at Cooroy Central Guardian Pharmacy, 26 Maple Street, Cooroy. And don’t forget to visit the Christmas in Cooroy page on www.christmasincooroy.com.au to find out about all the other exciting things planned!

MARY VALLEY MV Stags Presentation Night

MARY RIVER CATCHMENT COORDINATING COMMITTEE

fter a gallant first season “The Mary Valley Stags Rugby League Club” celebrated their very first presentation night on Saturday 25 September. We had an excellent roll up of players, executive, sponsors and supporters to share a night of festivities at the Imbil Bowls club, after a very successful year with the Sunshine Coast/Gympie Rugby League. The team showed a great camaraderie and mateship which overflowed to all present on the night. The boys reached the final in their very first year which is a great achievement, unfortunately Coolum was too strong and we were defeated, but not without a fight.

Many thanks to the following people who helped support us through the first season and without their help we would not have achieved as much as we did: sponsors, coaches, FAO’s and managers, canteen, bar and gate people, security. Many thanks to Simon from the Railway Hotel Imbil for his sponsorship and supplying the bus to transport the team and supporters each week to their playing venue. Thanks to James Ward, the Sunshine Coast CEO for being the MC for the night.

On Saturday 9 October, Raoul will be sharing some of his photographic techniques at a workshop hosted by the Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee in Gympie. The workshop is part of the Living with Wildlife series which has already attracted hundreds of participants interested in a wide range of ecological issues. Supported by Gympie Regional Council, these workshops provide participants with access to skilled and experienced professionals offering valuable advice and information.

All the players received their jersey along with a trophy and team photo and the presentation of the silly awards had everybody in stitches. The team captain Brad Carlson thanked his players for a great year and is looking forward to bigger and better things from the Stags next year. The major trophy awards were presented by Len Summers our major trophy sponsor to:

At the Wildlife Photography workshop, participants are encouraged to bring along their cameras, and up to eight images on a USB drive for Raoul to assess and help improve your photography. Cost is $10 including morning tea. Bookings are essential and can be made by contacting the MRCCC on 5482 4766 or email mrccc@ ozwide.net.au

A reminder to all that our AGM is on Wednesday 20 October at the RSL Hall Imbil starting with a sausage sizzle at 6.30 and meeting at 7.30pm. We will electing a new executive and anybody interested in performing the roles of coach, FAO, league safe, team manager please feel free to come along and join us to help get the boys on the field next year. Thanks to the community in general for all their support during the year it was all very much appreciated. Looking forward to next year.

apturing that perfect wildlife image is an art which acclaimed Australian photographer Raoul Slater has been perfecting since the age of 12. Raoul gained an interest in bird-watching and wildlife photography from his parents, Peter and Pat Slater, authors of Australia’s first field guide to birds. Raoul has a wide photographic range, being the only photographer to be short-listed in both the Moran Contemporary Photography Prize and the Eureka Science Photography Prize this year. His book “Growing Up with Australian Birds” won a Whitley Award in 2008 for best illustrated nature book.

ear Editor,

One David against Three Goliaths-Kin Kin Quarry Legal Case.

From Monday 4th October for eight days the little hamlet of Kin Kin and it’s supporters go to the Environment Court in Maroochydore. In true Australian style the little people of the Noosa Hinterland have taken it up to the might and money of three formidable opponents: 1. The Sunshine Coast Regional Council, 2. Neilsen’s Quality Sand and Gravel Pty Ltd and 3. Land Owner John Shepperson. I’d like to take this opportunity to say a “big thanks” to all the people who have donated money, given their time and expertise in support of the cause to prevent the degradation of this environmentally significant area.

Show Jumping and Show Horse nominations were similar to the previous year and once again the quality of the horses and presentation of horse and rider was as good as you would witness at the RNA Brisbane, in fact several of the competitors having competed there this year. A Ute Muster was an additional section and this created huge interest, with utes travelling from far afield as well as local competitors. Woodchop competitor numbers again were similar to the previous year which shows a trend that is happening in this circuit at all shows, not as many axemen around. A feature in this section was the Fred Armstrong Memorial Underhand Championship with the trophy, memorial sash and cash to first placegetter Phil Campbell, a competitor at Kenilworth for many years. This event created many spectators, all of whom showed deep respect to a supporter since 1967. A total of 239 rodeo competitor nominations were received in the rodeo arena with this section running smoothly and again a great crowd pleaser. The pavilion setting was excellent with a huge display of cookery, craft, photography and juvenile competition. See placegetters on pages 4 and 5. Once again thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you again on third Saturday in September 2011. Bill Morris President; Des Rough Vice President; Clem and Olive Hassall Treasurers; Lolie Murtagh Secretary; Graham and Carol Miller and Cec Pearson Committee members.
