KENILWORTH ________________________ O

THE MONTH THAT WAS

ur local Policeman in the news.

Our local Police Constable has hit the ABC news who advise that aside from giving him a platform to raise money for charity,

Pierre Senekal believes the Segway he rides gives him an easy way to approach locals and tourists.

He is quoted as saying that on weekends when people come and visit Kenilworth on their motorbikes, the focus is on road safety and the Segway is a good way to break the ice when you approach somebody on a beautiful big motorbike. Pierre is enjoying his new posting, stating that it brought new challenges.

“It’s got its moments — being away from other police units that could help and support if there are any big issues, but that’s where the community comes in,” he said.

“I’ve got the full support of the community and many locals have offered and said ‘Anytime I need any assistance here’s my mobile phone number’ — that helps when you have that sort of support from the locals.”

He said he hoped the Segway would help to break down the macho perception often associated with police officers.

“The key thing in any town or any community is working with the local community, and if they do see us in a little bit of a lighter fashion than driving around in big car, having a bit of a chuckle at the policeman looking silly on his segway, it’s a good thing,” he said.

“You just show that you’re just a normal person in a blue uniform trying to do the right thing by the wider community.”

Queenslander dominates the Stawell Gift men’s event.

22-year-old Queenslander Isaac Dunmall won the men’s event in a time of 12.17 seconds from a handicap of 6.75 metres.

But the big news was fifteen-year-old Victorian sprinter Talia Martin who become the youngest woman to win the women’s section in a time of 13.77 seconds to take home $40,000 in prize money.

KENILWORTH FIRST RESPONSE

ongratulations to the Organising Committee of the Kenilworth Cheese, Food and Wine festival, what a fantastic day we all had.

Our Kenilworth volunteer First Responders enjoyed representing the Maleny Local Ambulance Committee with public CPR Awareness demonstrations.

CPR Awareness is a programme that is sponsored by The Queensland Ambulance Service in conjunction with all of the Local Area Committees throughout the State.

The main goal of the programme is to give a better understanding of the latest techniques and generate confidence in the delivery of CPR. Statistics show that over 70% of CPR is initiated in the home before Paramedics arrive and because of this the QAS is very keen for members of the public to learn more about conditions like a heart attack and practice this potentially life-saving skill.

If you would like to have a group of friends or colleagues participate in a free CPR Awareness course feel free to contact any of our Kenilworth First Responders who will be happy to arrange it for you.

I would personally like to thank all Kenilworth Responders for their time and dedication on the day. At such a fantastic community event, it was wonderful to see so many members of the community showing their support.

KE NILWORTH ________________________ THE FIRST STORE OWNER IN KENILWORTH (CONTINUED from #03 MVV 9 MARCH, 2016)

He was Secretary to the Kenilworth School Committee in 1925 when the negotiation for a new school building proved successful.

He also played Banjo in the Kenilworth Jazz Band.

n August 1925, the youthful Edwin Thomas Sims turned 14, left school and the following day began his working life as a shop assistant at Arthur’s Tanners General Store.

On April 29, 1939 Arthur was elected councillor representing Division 1 in the Maroochy Shire Council.

In March 1927 the Kenilworth news in the Nambour Chronicle stated that Arthur Tanner had purchased the first garage from Messrs Tait and Muller.

Jean was a trained Nursing Sister and took on the unofficial role of District Nurse, administering first aid to district residents between the weekly visit by Maleny and later Cooroy medical practitioners.

I

The garage business was managed by his brothers–in-law – Ern and Dick Sims – the first Sims Bros Garage.

In September, 1932 The Nambour Chronicle reports on the sale of the original shop to be converted into a bakery.

In 2 December issue of the same paper the opening of the new commodious premises was reported (Currently the Friendly Grocer).

During this time Arthur participated in numerous community activities – participating in and refereeing hockey and soccer matches as well as playing in district tennis competitions.

In June 1939 his wife Winnie lost her life in a car accident.

On July 31 1942 Arthur married Marjorie Jean Murray at the Clifton Terrace Methodist Church, Red Hill, Brisbane.

The store was divided into two businesses around 1944 when Arthur sold the lease of the Grocery establishment to his employee Harry (Algy) Muller.

Arthur continued to serve the community as Councillor throughout the years of the second World War and the post war years of greeting the displaced persons of Europe into our community until 1955.

During his term in office he assisted in negotiations to have Kenilworth Township connected to the State electricity supply in September, 1951.

In 1948 Mr Muller sold the grocery business to Ron and Dot McTaggart. At that time there was a phone order/delivery service to all sections of the district.

Residents would phone in their weekly order and it would be delivered to the door and no additional charge.

Jean and Arthur continued working the Drapery Business until retiring in 1968, when it was sold to McTaggarts.

More of the stories of the early days of Kenilworth Township are shown in the new display at the Kenilworth Museum – open every Sunday 10am to 2pm.

KENILWORTH ________________________ VALE ERIC LINDSAY GLASSOP 1949 ‒ 2015

E

ric Glassop was born to Montague and Joyce Glassop in 1949, and is survived by his siblings Allan, Hilary and Alison.

His mother Joyce is still going strong at 102 years of age.

Eric grew up in Taringa in Brisbane, and Mackay, north Queensland.

Eric became a forest ranger early in life. At the age of 16, he went out to forest camps in the bush and started to learn the ropes from older forestry blokes who he respected.

Eric worked on Fraser Island in the 1970’s. Fraser Island always had a special place in his heart.

In his early twenties Eric built a road on the north-west side of the island, aptly named “Eric’s Shortcut”. (pictured below) Eric returned as acting senior ranger at Fraser Island in 2000, and enjoyed the chance to again work and live there.

Eric arrived in Kenilworth in 1979 with his wife Patricia and two eldest children Steven and Julie.

Soon after, his third child Jonathan was born.

Eric lived at the “Forestry House” and his home on Booloumba Creek Road for the rest of his life.

The Conondale Ranges were also a special place for Eric.

He was the head Forest Ranger in Kenilworth from 1979 to 1999.

In the early days the forestry at Kenilworth was a hive of activity and a major employer in the area.

Eric continued on in his work role through various changes in Queensland government departments: Department of Forestry, Department of Primary Industries, Department of Natural Resources, and finally Queensland Parks & Wildlife Service, as the industry moved from timber production towards parks and recreation.

Eric was not particularly impressed with the continual restructuring and increased bureaucracy in his work.

In 1988 Eric met Ann Worsley and they got married.

Ten years later Ann suddenly disappeared from the home

S

where she cared for her elderly parents. That morning Eric searched frantically and soon raised the alarm to police.

Exhaustive searches were made by police and SES, to no avail.

Initially, Eric was a person of interest for Ann’s disappearance, but detectives quickly ruled him out.

Around the same time Celena, a British backpacker, went missing, last seen walking along Booloumba Creek Road.

Another girl, Jessica, went missing in the area, and a man was later convicted of her murder. This man had been working on a property up Booloumba Creek Road when Ann and Celena went missing.

To date, there has been no resolution of what happened to them. Obviously, their disappearances have been devastating for their families.

Eric was heartbroken, as he had lost the love of his life, Annie.

Eric retired from QPWS in 2006. Despite two hip replacements, he remained as active and independent as possible during his retirement.

He had interests in native plants, bird watching, home maintenance, gardening, reading, a decent dry red, online shopping, trivia, and word games. He delighted in visits by the tawny frogmouths who frequented the trees in his yard. He enjoyed sightseeing and four wheel driving in the bush.

He travelled throughout Australia and New Zealand with his dear friend Barb.

Eric was also very close to his motherin-law Joanie, and spent a lot of time with her until her death in 2013.

In 2012 Eric was diagnosed with an acute type of leukaemia.

A seemingly successful bone marrow transplant held the disease at bay for a while, however he eventually succumbed on Saturday 5 December 2015, with Steve, Julie and Barb by his side.

Eric was farewelled by family and friends at a memorial service at Yabbaloumba in December. His final wishes were for his ashes to be laid across the Mary Valley and Fraser Island. QPWS and Eric’s family are discussing a permanent local memorial in his honour.

Eric was well loved by many. He was friendly, intelligent, hard working, supportive, had a quick wit and irreverent sense of humour. He was a good bloke, a cherished friend, a great Dad to his kids, and beloved Pappy to his grandkids.

He was taken from us too soon, and he will be sorely missed.

GHEERULLA HALL COMMUNITY MEETING 14 MAY

COMMUNITY ________________________ ANZAC DAY – HOW DID IT BEGIN?

A

s ANZAC Day comes around again, have you ever wondered how the familiar commemorative services began?

On 10 January 1916 at a public meeting at the Brisbane showgrounds, Rev’d Canon David John Garland was elected as honorary secretary of the inaugural ANZAC Day Commemoration Committee of Queensland, a position he held for 23 years. He is often described as “the architect of ANZAC Day” as he initiated the ANZAC Day March, the returned soldiers’ lunch, two minutes silence, wreath laying ceremonies at memorials and special church services. (Canon David John Garland pictured above in his chaplain’s uniform during WW1. Photo John Oxley).

Canon Garland mapped out a solemn commemoration service that was vaguely religious but secular enough to allow for people of all faiths or even no faith to have meaningful participation in honouring the sacrifice of those who served in the First World War and especially those who fell at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. The structure set out is the basis for our services

today with the key points that Canon Garland included – a couple of hymns, prayers, The Ode, a minute’s silence, The Last Post and the National Anthem.

Rev’d Canon David john Garland (1864-1939) was born in Dublin, ministered in Queensland Anglican bush parishes and was appointed Senior Army Chaplain from 1914 to 1917 and served in the Middle East in 1918/1919. His passionate promotion of ANZAC Day, through newspaper articles, sermons, radio scripts, town hall meetings and continued contact with community, political and business leaders ensured its adoption in Australia, New Zealand and England.

He also published a monthly column entitled, “Nothing is Too Good for Our Boys”.

On 22 April, 2016 at the Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park, the Canon Garland Memorial Society will hand over to the citizens of Brisbane “The Canon Garland Memorial ANZAC Day Origins” to mark the centenary of ANZAC Day commemorations.

CHEERIO FROM THE CHURCHES

aster was a very busy time for our local churches. St Luke’s shared a very successful street stall with the Kenilworth Historical Association on Easter Saturday and we thank all who contributed in any way.

The traditional “Washing of the Feet and Last Supper” was held at St John Bosco’s on Holy Thursday/Maundy Thursday followed by the solemn “Way of the Cross” service at St Luke’s on Good Friday.

The joy of Easter was celebrated on Easter Day with well attended services at St John Bosco’s and St Luke’s in Kenilworth.

It was lovely to welcome visitors to our local churches.

The former St Matthew’s church at Gheerulla has been sold with the new owners taking over at the end of March.

Last but not least, congratulations to the Kenilworth Cheese, Wine & Food Fest for such a successful day on Easter Saturday, for the benefit of our community.

COVER STORY COMMUNITY ________________________ KENILWORTH HAS ITS ‘DUNNY’ DESIGN WINNER

T

he winner of Kenilworth’s unique competition is Michael Lennie, a Maleny-based architectural illustrator, who was revealed to locals 16 March, from a field of 200 Australian entrants and even one from the UK, with his design Canistrum.

Michael describes Canistrum as “an unfinished basket reflecting an unfinished history” – the word is Latin for wicker basket.

“It brings ancient craft into the future public domain. Its bold and vibrant colours create a striking effect against the Kenilworth Conondale Ranges’ tree line.”

Sunshine Coast Council will now work with the winner to develop detailed construction plans on the winning concept.

“We will undertake a detailed feasibility analysis to investigate costs, budget availability and forecasted timing for the construction of Canistrum in Isaac Moore Park,” Infrastructure Services acting director Tom Jamieson said.

The winning entry was selected by a judging panel that included well-respected architect John Mainwaring, Division 10 Councillor Greg Rogerson, South Australian sculptor Greg Johns, Sandy Conte and well-regarded local Shirley Moreland, a past-president of Kenilworth Arts Council.

It came from a shortlist of 12 entries that were on display for public comment at the Kenilworth Hotel.

Mr Mainwaring said the winning entrant delivered on the competition’s goal of producing an iconic, innovative and functional public artwork... “In an abstract sense the work celebrates both the indigenous and European cultures as well as the unique natural environment of Kenilworth.”

“It provides a strong gateway statement reflecting the creative identity and character of the Kenilworth community. Not only will it be an eye-catching welcoming statement for the town, it will be a much-needed facility for people who use the park.”

SAN TAEKWONDO GRADING NIGHT SUCCESS

tudents pictured above left, from the San Taekwondo clubs in Beerwah, Maleny and Kenilworth had their first opportunity for the year to test for their new belts on Thursday, 31 March, 2016.

The team of 33 students gathered at the full-time San Training centre in Beerwah for grading.

“It was one of the biggest grading’s that San has ever held” said head instructor Norm Taylor.

Overall the standard was very impressive with many parents commenting on how entertaining it was to watch. Grading is designed to test skills, fitness and ability to apply what they have learned through performing a series of drills, sparring and breaking timber.

C OMMUNITY ______________________ CELEBRATING YOUTH WEEK – ‘AIRBRUSHED’ BY HOLLY HUGHES

H

olly Hughes brings a fresh look at art in her exhibition “Airbrushed”, on view at the Gympie Regional Gallery from 22 March – 16 April, 2016.

Based in the Mary Valley, Holly is a passionate and innovative artist who is willing to try new ideas and experiment with colours, techniques and canvases like car bonnets, shoes, vases, surf boards (see photo page 2), the human form and other unusual objects. Holly says, “I originally wanted to be a tattoo artist but stumbled upon airbrushing, did a workshop and it went from there”.

Last year Holly was the overall winner of the open section of the Mary Valley Art Festival and has won numerous sections and people’s choice awards at this festival since 2012.

In 2014 and 2013 she won the car bonnet section of the Eumundi Body Art Festival and first place in the Qld Body Art Awards in 2015.

Gympie Regional Gallery is situated at 39 Nash Street. Holly’s exhibition is part of the National Youth Week 2016 which is an important opportunity to celebrate the achievements, vitality and strength of young people aged 12 to 25 and to acknowledge their positive contribution to our communities from Friday 8 to Sunday 17 April 2016. The 2016 theme is Be the future...! and a full Queensland youth events list can be found at http://www.pcyc.org.au/NYW

LOCAL HEROS GRANT FOR CONONDALE TUCKSHOP FROM MP ANDREW POWELL

our community Glass House groups received $250 each from MP Andrew Powell in February including Conondale Tuckshop (pictured below) since he launched his new Local Heros Grants. “My Local Heroes Grants have been designed to capture those groups in Glass House who just need a little helping hand with resources for their canteen or maybe even some new equipment or a raffle prize. My intention is to dedicate funds six times a year to organisations from the four main regions of Glass House so hopefully this round, we will have some nominations come in from the Palmwoods and Eudlo area. Just jump on my website click on the link and answer a few basic questions.

It’s that easy.” Next round closes 15 April, 2016.

OUR COMMUNITY ___________________ T

DANGEROUS MALENY-KENILWORTH ROAD

he residences, property owners, farmers and business owners participated in a road protest at 7.45am (23 March, 2016) to demonstrate their frustration at the State Government not taking action on fixing the Maleny-Kenilworth Road. It was well represented and the Traffic Response Unit and Police attended to encourage the participants to move on as it was deemed an illegal protest and action would be taken against those who blocked the road. Media attended and it is hoped that our voices will be heard in State Government.

The protest was organised by Mr Ian Fleiter and he had measured the worst of the shoulder holes with some of them being 48cm deep, 700cm wide and over a metre in length. It is totally unacceptable that people are expected to commute on the road as it is not safe and everyone attending does not want to see the worst outcome which is surely inevitable with the death of someone in the very near future.

Traffic was allowed to pass and the demonstration was peaceful but it is hoped that the State Government will take the protesters seriously and call to action before the prediction of a serious accident occurs.

GIANT RAT’S TAIL GRASS FIELD SESSIONS

n response to ongoing concerns about the spread of Giant rat’s tail grass and its significant impacts locally, Gympie Regional Council, the Burnett Mary Regional Group and Gympie and District Landcare are combining forces to bring the latest information to landholders about this invasive grass.

Industry leaders, research experts and local landholders will come together to share the latest information available on treatments, vectors of spread, biocontrol and long term options during the two information days on the 15 and 16 April.

Sullivan Livestock and Rural Services will join the action by providing the Woolooga Saleyards as the venue for the field sessions incorporating identification and demonstration of treatment methods.

Gympie Regional Council Mayor, Mick Curran says, “These field sessions will improve the awareness of Giant rat’s tail grass and the significant threats it poses to grazing and agricultural land. Attendees will also learn best practice management strategies to control existing infestations and limit further spread in the region.”

Giant rat’s tail grass and other weedy Sporobolus grasses are invasive exotic grasses that greatly reduce pasture productivity, by outcompeting desirable pastures and degrading natural areas, resulting in reduced profitability and land values and significant treatment costs.

The weedy Sporobolus species are listed as Category 3 Restricted Matters under the Biosecurity Act 2014 and landholders are required to control these grasses on their properties.

Giant rat’s tail grass information days – 8am until 2pm.

Either Friday 15 April or Saturday 16 April 2016.

Woolooga Hall, 8 Thomas Street, Woolooga. Morning tea and lunch provided. Registration essential via 1300 307 800 or gympie.qld.gov.au

BI-ANNUAL BAITING PROGRAMME

ympie Regional Council is aiming to build on its already highly successful 1080 baiting programme by encouraging all eligible landholders to participate in its biannual coordinated 1080 baiting campaign.

Wild dogs and feral pigs are targeted for control and landholders wishing to participate are urged to get on board this cooperative approach to achieving broad scale control outcomes. The 1080 baiting campaign will run during the first two weeks of May 2016.

Council has recently reviewed their 1080 baiting procedures and policies and a number of areas within the region may now be eligible for baiting while others may be now be restricted or not eligible at all. It is advised that all interested landholders or existing 1080 baiting syndicates contact the Lands Protection Branch of Gympie Regional Council on 1300 307 800 prior to 18 April 2016 to check eligibility and ensure they have time to adhere to the requirements.

Landholders will be required to supply their own fresh meat bait during this campaign and attend a designated ‘baiting station’ for bait preparations on the day assigned.

Many landholders across the region already participate in the baiting campaigns and are aware of the benefits of coordinated control efforts. The use of 1080 baits are subject to strict regulatory control set down in the Health (Drugs and Poisons) Regulations 1996 which are administered by the Queensland Department of Health. Sodium fluoroacetate (1080) is a very useful pesticide for the control of pest animals and has been used throughout Australia since the early 1960s. 1080 is the most efficient, humane and species-specific pesticide currently available for declared animal control in Australia. In Queensland, 1080 is registered for use in the control of wild dogs, feral pigs, foxes and rabbits. Council has the right to refuse any applications that do not abide to these controls For baiting station locations and schedules or for more information please visit gympie.qld.gov.au April 13, 2016

s the 8th Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT8) draws to a close at the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA), a new exhibition that highlights works from APT7 is coming to the Gympie Regional Gallery The exhibition titled Indo Pop: Indonesian Art from APT7 will visit Gympie Regional Art Gallery from 7 April to 28 May. Chris Saines, Director, QAGOMA said the exhibition of nine important works featured the Triennial’s largest representation to date of artists from Indonesia.

QAGOMA Associate Curator, Asian Art, Tarun Nagesh, said the exhibition captured the vibrancy and humour of an emerging generation of contemporary Indonesian artists.

“Drawing on one of the focus areas of APT7 (2012-13), ‘Indo Pop’ showcases a diverse group of works including the explosively coloured painting The Journey 2011 by Uji Handoko Eko Saputro (aka Hahan),” he said.

The regional tour of ‘Indo Pop: Indonesian Art from APT7’ also includes video and digital works from artist collective Tromarama, and Tintin Wulia, who now resides in Queensland. Tromarama’s stop-motion animation in Wattt?! 2010, a favourite with young visitors when shown in APT7, brings lights and lamps to life in a humorous response to an unexpectedly-high electricity bill.
