KENILWORTH PONY CLUB NEWS

n Saturday 16 March, a small but enthusiastic group of members attended our KPC muster. Cameron Lindsay, an instructor from the Maroochy Pony Club, visited for the day. Time was spent learning parts of hooves and how to care for them and what to look out for. Some of our members had a go at this and found a new appreciation of the hard (back-breaking) work our farriers undertake to keep our horses sound to ride. This was followed by building a jumping course where we learnt about distances and how to walk a course to ride it correctly.

Following a scrumptious lunch, the riders chose and set up their sporting events to practice. The day finished with multiple Easter egg races (similar to Lolly in a Bucket) where all had a go at riding each others horses. Everyone agreed a great day was had and everyone went home with an Easter egg bag. Pony Club... it really is fun and new members are always welcome!!!

Another fun muster was had on 13 April. We discussed what events to have at our gymkhana. Our upcoming monthly musters will continue to focus on flatwork and showjumping as quite a number of events throughout the zone are being held in Dressage, Combined Training, Hunter Trials and One Day Eventing. Our next muster is on Saturday 11 May. May is the month for gymkhanas, one by Mooloolah and Maroochy Pony Club and our very own gymkhana on Sunday 19 May. We are always grateful to members of community who come to help out at gymkhana or who come and watch the competition. We look forward to seeing you there!

CONGRATULATIONS, VICTORIA!

ongratulations to Victoria Reichelt on winning the 2013 prestigious Sir John Sulman Art Prize. This prize at the Art Gallery of NSW is awarded for the best painting, genre painting or mural project by an Australian artist.

Victoria was the winner of the inaugural Kenilworth Art Prize in 2006 and her work was acquired by the then Maroochy Shire Council. The judges, including art expert Phillip Bacon, were certainly vindicated in their choice of winner back in 2006.

The prize, then known as “The Mayor’s Prize” was created

by Maroochy Shire Mayor, Joe Natoli in conjunction with Kenilworth Arts Council. The award was to give recognition and financial support to artists who demonstrated outstanding artistic achievement.

Victoria has certainly demonstrated these qualities!

Among other impressive achievements, Victoria has been featured in the 2011 Korea International Art Fair and the Contemporary Australian Optimism Exhibition at the Qld Gallery of Modern Art. In 2011, Victoria was appointed to the Visual Arts Board of the Australia Council.

Our front cover story Local Lads off to the QLD State Trials

F

rom a young age these two boys trained, played rugby league and attended their local State Community College in the small town of Kenilworth.

Throughout their junior years Ben Henderson and Kane Sturdee excelled at club level. They have also represented the Sunshine Coast at multiple carnivals. As they reached high school they were separated, as Ben attended Noosa District and played for the Noosa Pirates and Kane attended Nambour High and continued playing for the Nambour Crushers.

On the 19 March the two boys reunited to play in the Under 18’s school boys trial held at Beerwah. Teams from Redcliffe to Gympie trialled on the day. After a gruelling three games both boys were selected for the Sunshine Coast Regional school boys’ team. The next competitive level will see them compete at the State Championship trials, to be held in Kingaroy on Thursday 23 May of this year.

Coming from a small country town, self-motivation has played a huge part to these boys’ achievements. Each night while everyone is settling down for dinner these boys are either on their way home from training or heading off to their backyard gyms to put in the hard yards to succeed in their goals and dreams of one day playing NRL. We wish the boys all the best of luck at the State trials this month and as the boys saying goes “The pain you feel today will be the strength you feel tomorrow!”

GO GET ‘EM BOYS!

HOW AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS WENT TO MARKET IN 1930’S

n page 2 of the Nambour Chronicle published on July 10, 1931 the following description of part of the agricultural marketing history of the State was described:-

NO DEPRESSION IN BRISBANE’S MARKETS A stroll through the Roma Street markets made me wonder if there really could be such a thing as a depression…The markets, in short, are a rousing whirlwind of activity and to experience all the howls, hoots and bustle made it hard to believe that there could be any gloom in the world of business.

Cars, trucks, horses and barrows; cauliflowers, cabbages, pineapples, carrots, bananas, lettuces, strawberries, sugar cane, oranges, fowls, geese and ducks; beans, peas, potatoes and pumpkins - all together in that mighty iron building in apparently hopeless confusion. Around the offices of the agents, men pushed and struggled to take possession of the wares they had purchased. Hammers banged, men shouted, cars hooted, cocks crowed, boys ran hither and thither through the crush enjoying it all.

Crashes howls, laughs curses and tobacco smoke added to the confusion. But in the centre of that great building, an eighth of a mile long by 100 yards across, just where a stream of sunlight came timidly down from the glass filters high up in the iron roof, stood a man reading a newspaper and munching on a ham sandwich while all the time the strange commotion surged around him. He was used to it.

Outside I found the same tumult. Pie merchants, horses, carts, trucks, men, wheelbarrows and small boys combining in emitting a dull subdued roar. I next entered a similar big iron building across the road, in Turbot Street, after dodging a particularly thick traffic for some moments. The scene was the same – chaos tumult and feverish activity.

Another unusual thing I noticed about the markets is that there are two dogs and two black cats who don’t quarrel.

And that is where a large proportion of Queensland’s produce and fruit changes hands. The exchange between grower and consumer’s agent.

The Roma Street Markets remained as part of inner city Brisbane until the mid 1960’s. The lack of space for further expansion prompted the Market Authority to relocate to Rocklea in 1964. http://www.romastreetparkland.com/ SiteCollectionDocuments/pdfs/rsp_history_e-book.pdf Photo top from: http://www.yvonneclaireadams.com/HostedStuff/ Brisbane09.jpg and is of the markets looking down Roma Street towards City Hall.

For anyone who ever ventured into the precinct of the Roma Street Markets – this article captures the chaos that was the markets – just another part of our history – but a memory.

KENILWORTH BOOK CLUB

O

ur last book, “The Hare with Amber Eyes” by Edmund de Waal was a real winner! We all enjoyed it so much with its simple but elegant writing style and descriptive details of people, places and events across a sweep of history. Do read it if you haven’t done so already – a beautiful book! It’s no wonder it’s a best seller.

The next Book Club Meeting is on Thursday 6 June at 7pm at the Arts Council rooms. The chosen book is “Case Histories” by Kate Atkinson, described as a “literary detective story”.

Sounds intriguing!

Grab hold of this book, read it and come along to Book Club with your ideas. The discussion is always lively and engaging and the supper is always first class! You can’t lose!

Happy Reading! See you on 6 June!

Measuring the rain

here’s a new gauge in Conondale that provides rainfall and water level information for locals along the upper Mary River during wet weather events.

Rainfall is measured in the field at Conondale and the information is transmitted, as it happens, to council in the Local Disaster Coordination Centre and onto the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).

Division 5 Councillor Jenny McKay said the water level recorded at the gauge can advise if the bridge at Conondale is flooded.

“The gauge provides additional information about the upper Mary River catchment that complements the data collected from our gauges at Bell Bird Creek, Kenilworth and Moy Pocket,” Cr McKay said.

“Together the gauges provide our hydrologists with a comprehensive picture of how a flood peak travels along the upper Mary River.

“During an event the information is used by council and agencies at the Local Disaster Coordination Centre when making decisions about where resources are needed and which communities need assistance.”

Division 10 Councillor Greg Rogerson said both council and the BOM currently maintain 71 rain and stream gauges across the region.

“We’ve got resilient communities along the upper Mary and council’s recent investment in the gauge network and flood mapping of the upper Mary demonstrates council’s commitment to these communities,” Cr Rogerson said.

“I hope the information is helpful to the upper Mary communities when making decisions during flood events.

“In addition to the Conondale gauge council is installing three more stations at Kin Kin, Pomona and Nambour.”

MEET AT THE KENILWORTH POOL Includes exercise, body analysis, nutrition info, recovery shake & weekly prize draw. $8/session.

“It’s the place to be.”

Get your entry forms for Mary Valley Art Festival

mbil’s Twin Bunya Park is the new major sponsor for the popular Mary Valley Art Festival, which comes to Imbil on June 20-23.

Entry forms are now available for the competition, which draws quality artists from the Gympie and Sunshine Coast regions through to Toowoomba and west of Dalby. The forms can be collected from art suppliers and various outlets in the Mary Valley and Gympie, or download them from the website www.maryvalleyartfestival.org Business owners of Twin Bunya Park, Richard and Heinke Butt, have provided the prize for the People’s Choice Awards which will be announced at 2pm on Sunday June 23.

Local and visiting musicians and performers are able to share their talents, smooth out their nerves, wow audiences and come together to celebrate creativity in an alcohol and drug free space.

It has a great, positive atmosphere and has served as a launching pad for many young and emerging musicians in the area including Andrew Redford, Jimmy Davis, Mitch Francis and Jeunae Rogers.

“There’s nothing else quite like it,” admits Gray Liddell of the Mountain Music School. “The Cooran Acoustic Night has been going for so long, and it provides the space for emerging artists to build confidence and give it a go.”

“It has continuously engaged people on a very humble level, that’s what makes it so special,” says former coordinator and local resident Jason Makeig. “Over the years, the Cooran Acoustic Night has also served as an avenue for established musicians such as Lindsay Pollock, Hatz Fitz and Barry Charles to share their music with community in a relaxed setting.”

If you have ever attended an Acoustic Night, performed or even helped adjust microphones, baked a cake or MC’d, then please come along and be part of the celebration.

And if you’ve never been before - what have you been doing all these years?!

“Come out to play” for an evening of fun nostalgia, great music and community spirit in the Cooran Hall on King Street from 6pm.

This is a relaxed conclusion to the celebrated festival, with wine and cheese and great company, from 1-3pm.

The festival has maintained its prize money despite tough economic times, and offers more than $5000 across 11 categories, with $1000 for the open award. The new category for three dimensional entries joins existing categories - landscape, novice, animalia, still life, human form/portraitures, drawing, natural flora, abstract, youth under 18.

Entries close on June 3.

A gala opening night on June 20 will kick off the festival at the Imbil Public Hall, followed by viewing across the weekend from 10am-3pm.

The Mary Valley Arts Festival has joined the newly formed Mary Valley ArtsLink which is a lead organisation for all arts and cultural events in the Mary Valley.

MARY VALLEY Get on board the Mary Valley Farm to Business Trade Directory

W

hether you are a farmer who grows food for market or value add and process your product, you have an opportunity to be listed in the Mary Valley Farm to Business Trade Directory.

The directory is just one of the promotional tools being rolled out by the Mary Valley Country Flavours project. The projects aim is to strengthen links between local food producers and tourism and hospitality providers, so that visitors can have a memorable experience in sampling the local produce of the region.

An A-Z guide of food producers with a seasonal list is being developed to make it easier for restaurants, cafes and all food providers to source produce which has been grown right here in the Mary Valley.

“We are asking farmers throughout the valley to contact us and ensure you are listed in the Directory so that you are not missing out on the chance to promote your product”, project manager Ms Bell stated.

“This project aims to attract more tourist visitation to the area through developing and marketing our local food and beverage experience with the Barista and service training already underway”.

“All participants will be required to sign a Certification agreement to ensure they are using Mary Valley food in

the products that bear the label.”

“A meet and taste between grower and retailer is also planned to help build the relationship between the two so that a supportive network can be established”.

Businesses and tourism operators interested in taking part in the project can contact Lesa on 0428 193 156 or at flavours@themaryvalley.com.au

FLAVOUR TRAIL IN THE MARY VALLEY

T

he Mary Valley Country Flavours project will offer a unique opportunity to local businesses and community groups to gain accredited Barista and hospitality training for their staff whilst creating fantastic locally grown dishes. The project will link local food producers, tourism and hospitality providers in developing distinct flavours from the Mary Valley.

This new project facilitated by Mary Valley Inc aims to attract more tourist visitation to the area through developing and marketing our local food and beverage experience.

Project co-ordinator Lesa Bell stated “the project will offer free barista and service training whilst linking local food producers to tourist based food outlets so that a supportive network will be established”. She said the project was aimed to provide visitors with a memorable experience in sampling the local produce of the region, whilst also supporting local agriculture.

The project will also assist businesses to develop marketing material promoting their signature dishes as part of Mary Valley Country Flavours.

Not only does this approach give locals a chance to pride themselves on the quality of produce in the area but the visitor will experience quality country hospitality and a guaranteed ‘paddock to plate’ experience of consuming truly local food Ms Bell said.

The project is supported Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR), Gympie Regional Council and will utilise Regional Training Qld & CTC Employment Services.

he Imbil Mary Valley Scouts and leaders travelled to Bundaberg over the Easter weekend to compete in the annual Kiwi Woggle Camping competition. After the judges totaled the points scored, Imbil Mary Valley Scouts were in second place. They received the Second place trophy which is a Kiwi (bird) mounted in a case, that they will keep until next year’s competition. They were also awarded a Grade A Camping Certificate.

On Friday, the 80 Scouts (18 patrols) set up their campsites without any help from their scout leaders. Judging for the competition runs from Friday to Sunday. The scouts are awarded points for the campsite set up, hygiene and tidiness, construction, first aid kits, gas and fire safety equipment, food storage, menu and cooking, and construction of useful camp gadgets.

On Saturday and Sunday, the activities included crazy pioneering, putting up a Queensland rig (canvas tent), erecting the tallest, free-standing flag pole out of bamboo and other initiative and teamwork tasks. The scouts also tried Blacksmithing, rope making, abseiling off a tower, a whirly bird ride and a gyroscope ride. Then they were off to Challenge Valley, an obstacle course going through the mud, over walls and through tyres.

At night there was a traditional campfire where they sang campfire songs and performed patrol skits based on the camp theme of bushrangers. Saturday night, each patrol had to invite a leader from another troop to have dinner with them. Imbil Mary Valley Scouts served an entrée, roast lamb and vegetables, then pavlova nests, cream and fruit for dessert.

jgMVV_1JUNE-2011

T

On Monday morning they had an early breakfast and packed up. Then on closing parade, they were presented with their Grade A and Second Place certificates and the Kiwi. They also received an additional prize of a single burner Butane stove to keep for the scouts to use on future camps.

The Kiwi Woggle Flag was passed onto our patrol as the 2014 Kiwi Woggle Camp will be held in Gympie and will be organised by the leaders in the Gympie District Scout Group. For any enquiries on Scouting please phone District Commissioner on 0437 426 055 or HQ on 1800 072 688.

Mary Valley Family and Community Bike Ride

CLOSE SHAVE FOR GOOD SHEPHERD STUDENTS

oungsters took to their bikes alongside their parents for the recent Mary Valley Family and Community Bike Ride through Imbil.

More than 30 riders gathered at the Ollie Dwyer Memorial Walk in Imbil’s town centre to enjoy the ride which supports the work of Chaplains in the Mary Valley.

They had a choice of two rides – a more difficult trek through the Imbil forestry and an easier excursion on the bitumen to Brooloo and back.

Despite showers during previous week, all participants enjoyed a great day.

A spokesman said they ranged from toddlers to “mature age”, and included children from schools from Mary Valley State College throughout the valley to Gympie.

Despite smaller numbers this year, organisers are confident the annual ride will continue to grow each year.

At the Brooloo stopover, everyone enjoyed a sausage sizzle and held the Mary Valley Turtle Race. Organisers thanked the Brooloo Rural Fire Brigade for the use of their grounds and for cooking the barbecue.

The Mary Valley Turtle Race is held on a small track marked out in the bush behind venue. Individual time trials were held, looking for slowest rider over the track over three attempts.

Winners: Myles Whitewood and Joseph Greer equal 1, Angela Greer 2, Charlie Greer 3. Slowest single attempt: Brett Whitewood in 2 minutes 38 seconds.

ood Shepherd Lutheran College students and staff have been overwhelmed by support raising $7,500 for the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave exceeding all expectations.

Students in Years 8 to 12 were given the opportunity to volunteer to represent their House Groups by sacrificing their hair to raise money for the charity.

Eleven students, and one staff member, volunteered to have their heads shaved in front of an audience of more than 350 of their peers.

According to Mr Tony Purcell, co-ordinator of the event on behalf of Good Shepherd, the students showed great enthusiasm towards the event and were very competitive in their fundraising efforts.

“We were overwhelmed by the number of students who were happy to sacrifice their hair for a good cause,” said Mr Purcell.

“Traditionally, students from this age group might be a little uneasy about shaving their hair off, yet both boys and girls were excited about the fact that they could make a difference.”

Following the “shave off” the students and staff also participated in a mass hair colouring fundraiser where students and teachers could have their hair sprayed the colour of their House Group for a small donation.

“It was great to see all the students and staff come together and really enjoy raising money for the Leukaemia Foundation - all the while knowing that their efforts really will help in the search for a cure,” said Mr Anthony Dyer, Principal of Good Shepherd Lutheran College.

Special fund for Queensland’s flood-affected events

n response to recent flooding, Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ) has created a special one-off fund to support events in the state’s flood declared council areas.

Tourism, Major Events, Small Business and the Commonwealth Games Minister, Jann Stuckey, launched the TEQ 2013 Events Flood Assistance Program (EFAP) while visiting Bundaberg today.

“The 2013 Events Flood Assistance Program will make available financial assistance to events that have suffered or been cancelled as a result of recent flooding.

“We have created a one-off $150,000 fund so events can apply for support to help with specific expenses.

“Events, particularly in smaller communities, are vital to the local economy and we want to make sure they can go ahead as planned, or are re-staged.”

The EFAP is available for events held between 1 June 2013 and 29 September 2013.

Events must be held in a council area declared as flood affected by the Natural Disaster Relief Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA) since January 2013.

For guidelines or to apply for the 2013 Events Flood Assistance please visit www.tourismeventsqueensland. com.au or email floodassist@eventsqld.com.au EFAP applications close Friday 3 May 2013.

Clean Solar Harnessing the Sun’s Energy

he Queensland Competition Authority, have confirmed that electricity prices will continue to rise, hitting some households with an increase of at least $421 per year and informing Qld. that the Tariff 11 service charge will be increasing by 79% so using solar power makes sense.

Solar power is the only effective way to reduce the cost of ever increasing power bills, and solar has never been cheaper.

• If you have been approved for the 44 cent feed in tariff, you need to take immediate action and organise a free solar assessment for your home to find out how going solar will benefit you. To keep this 44 cent solar credit, your solar system must be installed and ready for Energex to install the meter before end of June 2013.

• For those, who for whatever reason missed out on the 44 cent solar credit, you still have time to apply for the 08 cent FIT which depending on your retailer, you may get up to 16 cents in total.

It is important to shop around for a retailer as prices vary from $0.00 to $0.10 cents but find out first if any penalty rates will be incurred for moving to another retailer.

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels are best installed on the roof in a northerly direction and at an angle to maximise the amount of sunlight that hits the panels. Solar PV panels on the roofs of homes and businesses generate clean electricity by converting the energy from sunlight. Solar panels are connected to the mains power supply through a device called an inverter. With new laws in place, all solar systems need to have two isolators installed to shut down the system if any fault occurs.

The technology to convert sunlight into electricity was developed in the 19th century, but it was only in the second half of the 20th century that development accelerated behind the need to provide reliable supplies of electricity in remote locations.

Clean Solar Pty Ltd takes all the confusion out of solar.

Prior installation, their team of specialist installers will establish best position of panels and mounting method to achieve maximum yield and system efficiency, performance and any areas of concern.

“Our installers are skilled in their trade; we only use superior products along with quality panels, installed and wired to specifications.” says Irene Grassi from Clean Solar.

Ask us about our Dual track Inverters which will allow your panels to be split between two different roof aspects.

Our products use German technology and we are experienced in residential, commercial and solar farms.”

Call now on 1300 033 806 for advice and realistic pricing on your Solar System. See advertisement for May Specials on p7.

WELLINGTON’S WAY

yme disease in Australia On April 16, I spoke in Parliament on the plight of one of my constituents who has been diagnosed with Lyme Disease. Lyme disease is believed to be spread through tick bites, but has not been officially recognised in Australia. I provided the Minister for Health with a copy of a letter detailing this young lady’s battle with this disease and I urged our government to listen to calls for better diagnosis and recognition of this important disease and hopefully take the matter up with our interstate government colleagues.

PCMC and phone problems As a member of the Parliamentary Crime and Misconduct Committee I spent almost every day of the past month at meetings both in Brisbane and via teleconference in my office. The Committee was investigating the unauthorised release of some Fitzgerald Inquiry documents and the shredding of others.

We have presented our final report to the Government and I look forward to it being debated in Parliament.

I have received numerous calls to my office from people experiencing delays with help from Telstra. Telstra has blamed the recent spate of bad weather which has resulted in fault levels four times higher than normal.

Public Housing three strikes and you are out I have mixed views on the Government’s new “three strikes and you are out policy”.

At first I thought it was a great idea because we often hear of bad tenants who take the system for granted while so many others are on the waiting list.

While we must ensure our public housing tenants are good tenants we do not want to see people being threatened with eviction over petty issues.

For example an elderly tenant was issued with a breach notice because her friend, who picked her up to go shopping and take her on outings, parked in a space set aside for tenants. This was in spite of the fact that the parking space was not needed by other tenants. I also heard from an elderly gentleman who put a decorative border around a garden and was told that if he did not remove it, he would be issued with a breach.

These Gestapo like tactics should not be used against our frail elderly and the disadvantaged.

Nambour Rail Duplication not a priority for LNP It is obvious that the Premier and his Government do not consider the duplication of the railway line from Brisbane to Nambour worth fighting for.

Recently in Parliament I asked the Premier to table a copy of his request to the Prime Minister for financial assistance for this project. He replied he hadn’t raised this matter with the Prime Minister but his Government had made a submission regarding the Beerburrum to Landsborough rail duplication.

There is no way the Federal Government is going to do anything about this much needed upgrade unless there is hard lobbying from the State Government.

Once again the Newman Government has ignored the residents of the Sunshine Coast.

Drivers beware!

I was recently approached by a tradesman who was seeking information on what he was required to do to secure some loose items in his ute. Upon checking the legislation and the Department of Transport website, I found the requirements to be very vague. In Parliament on April 17, I asked the Minister for Transport and Main Roads if he would send out a single page guideline to the owners of all vehicles and trailers, so that they know what their requirements are in relation to securing any items they are carrying. Sadly the Minister advised that the onus was on drivers to know the rules and regulations and did not support my request. I believe the Minister is being unreasonable, as I believe many people would have differing opinions on what is required to secure an item. I intend to pursue this with the Government.

W

e all know jumping in without first checking can land you in hot water. Well it is no different when buying a second hand vehicle.

While we can be confident about the look and general condition of the vehicle on the surface and get a professional to the check the mechanics, there are some very important things that can still remain a mystery.

For instance: • Is the car really the one it is supposed to be, and does the VIN, engine and registration number match up?

• When was it first registered, how many times has the registration been transferred and for what purpose was it used?

• Has it been reported stolen or ever written-off?

• Is there a clear title on the vehicle?

You can now put these questions and other to rest by purchasing a Vcheck (vehicle information check.) Vcheck provides information recorded on Queensland Transport registration systems.

Vcheck is the standard check that provides the vehicle’s identification and registration status including stolen status, written-off status, expiry date of registration, last recorded odometer reading, VIN, make, model, body shape and year of manufacture.

Vcheck plus provides the standard Vcheck information plus a financial encumbrance report (REVS) including if there is clear title over the vehicle.

Vcheck history provides the Vcheck standard information plus historical information including first date of registration in Queensland, transfer history, odometer reading at transfer and purpose of use.

Vcheck premium provides the standard Vcheck information plus the financial and historical information above in the one report.

Vcheck is available for a car, truck, motorcycle, caravan and trailer with a manufacture date after 1 January 1989. Vcheck is available regardless if you’re buying a vehicle privately or through a dealership. Simply visit www.vcheck. qld.gov.au or enquire at your vehicle dealership. Vcheck will be provided in a printable PDF file from the website.

All you need is your Queensland Drivers Licence number and the vehicle identification number (VIN), which can be located on the vehicles compliance plate usually located under the bonnet of the vehicle.

Vcheck premium is cheaper than the RENT AN INCORRUPTIBLE COMPUTER $49 per month Call Serge 07 5484 5963 cost of a tank of fuel. That’s not much one month. No Contract.

Cr Julie Walker May 2013 Newsletter

have had several calls about cattle on the roads out in the rural areas since the floods. A lot of the farmers are working around the clock to repair fencing that was damaged during the flood, so please be aware of the possibility of stock on the roads.

On Monday night 3 June the Qld Police Commissioner, Mr Ian Stewart, will be guest speaker for Imbil Rural Watch meeting. The meeting will be held in the Kandanga Public Hall starting at 7.30pm and everybody is welcome to come along and listen to him speak.

In March the Special Olympic group awarded the Curra Rural Fire brigade and the Red Cross of Gympie a certificate for the help that these two groups gave the Olympic group during the floods earlier in the year. The “Special O” group are situated on Wises Road and their shed and equipment were inundated with flood water.

Follow what’s happening in the Gympie Police District at http://mypolice.qld.gov.au/gympie this is a very informative site and lets you know what is happening in and around the area in regard to crimes etc.

Gympie Region Tourism Advisory Committee is soon to be established, this is a part of the new Destination Gympie Region. The newly established Tourism Department can be contacted on 5480 5180 and steps are being taken to promote the region locally, nationally and internationally.

Council will be calling for Expressions of Interest from tourist operators and people with an interest in tourism in the near future via local media and Destination Gympie Region’s new eNewsletter, to be on the new Advisory Committee. To sign-up for the eNewsletter, email Gail at gail.mckenzie@gympie.qld.gov.au We have had a spate of burglaries in the Valley of late, so I would warn people to mark their personal items with some sort of ID, so that if you do happen to get robbed your goods can be returned to you. The ID that the Neighbourhood Watch uses is a “Q” for Qld, then your initials followed by your birthdate. This ID can be registered with the police which is then put into their computer system. All jewellery should be photographed as well as a means of identification.
