here were smiles all around at a special parade held at the Kenilworth State Community College recently when two Year 7 students were recognised as school leaders. Congratulations to Taniah Reinhardt and Nathan Loweke!

Maleny High students, and past Conondale State School leaders, Astar and Rawhinia Castle, were on hand to present leadership certificates and badges. Astar and Rawhinia are accomplished violin players and are planning to perform in Europe next year. The girls performed two beautiful pieces for the audience and spoke of the hard work that went into following your dreams and passions.

They also gave all the students (and listening adults) sound advice on being leaders and told a little of their own experiences in that role. An important message for all the children, and the younger ones in particular, was that you don’t need a badge to show leadership!

At Kenilworth we give all of our Year 7 students the opportunity to develop leadership skills and gain recognition as Student Leaders. Our standards are high. Students are rated against criteria in the leadership areas of role model, interpersonal skills, integrity and responsibility and communication. Those students who were not successful in gaining recognition as Student Leaders this term will be given further opportunities and guidance in term three in preparation for the second round of leadership recognition towards the end of next term.

Favourite Pony Club event: Show jumping, dressage, hacking, gymkhanas Best Pony Club memory: Going to State four times for Show Jumping and Equitation and this July going to State for Dressage and Combined Training. Winning my first and second Rug! If your horse says no, you either asked the wrong question or asked the question wrong. Pat Parelli

KENILWORTH Footpath projects march on in Kenilworth

T

ravelling by car or by foot in Kenilworth will soon be safer and easier. Sunshine Coast Council is set to construct new sections of footpath and a new disabled car park. Division 10 Councillor Paul Tatton said the works would take place in three locations.

“We will construct a 15m x 2m section of pathway on Charles Street, west of Elizabeth Street along with a 40m x 2m stretch of pathway on Charles Street, east of Elizabeth Street,” he said. “Council will also construct a new disability car park in the main street along with a 30m x 1.8m extension of the existing pathway along Elizabeth Street, near the intersection of Eumundi – Kenilworth Road.”

“These pathway projects will enable safer and easier transport around Kenilworth and will also enhance the appearance of the streetscape.”

“Some trees will need to be removed as part of these pathway projects however council will offset this by replanting vegetation.” Works are expected to take three weeks to complete from the starting SEPTIC TANKS day (weather GREASE TRAPS permitted).

Celebrating 25 years at Kenilworth Library

n the last issue of the Mary Valley Voice, we hinted that there was to be a special celebration soon at Kenilworth Library. We can now reveal that it is the 25th birthday of this very special hinterland library.

On Friday 29 July, our library will be open for an informal morning tea provided by the Sunshine Coast Library Service and the Friends of Kenilworth Library.

Everyone is welcome to pop in for a cuppa or coffee and refreshments from 10.30am.

Celebrations include the cutting of the birthday cake, the presentation of a new book by local family historian, Tony White and lucky door prizes for adults and children. There will also be a special colouring competition for children.

We look forward to a fun day with lots of memories of the past 25 years of our library.

KENILWORTH INFORMATION CENTRE FACTS AND FICTION

So here is the pitch, WE NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS! We will train you, it is a fun job and it is great to be able to promote our lovely town and region.

F

FICTION: The Information Centre staff who work in and operates the centre are paid employees.

FACT: Everyone is a community volunteer and live within the Kenilworth District.

The Kenilworth Information Centre was opened on November 26 2005, by Maroochy Shire Council’s Mayor Joe Natoli and Division 1, Councillor Greg Rogerson. Greg was very instrumental in getting the Information Centre up and running. The Centre started with about 10 volunteers, some of who are still volunteering today. The primary function of the Centre is the promotion and marketing of Kenilworth and District, businesses, community events and festivals. The Centre provides comprehensive information on the local area, local region and neighbouring regions, with friendly, helpful information, not only to our many visitors, but also to the community. Over the past year (2010) we have had 13,570 visitors through the Centre.

(555 were international) The Center sub-committee produced the brochure ‘Discover Kenilworth’. This excellent publication is sent to tourism outlets within a 500km radius. Recently an advert was placed in the new Mary Valley Map, again promoting the Kenilworth District. This map was produced by Gympie, Cooloola Tourism, with 40,000 copies to be distributed to regional centres through out Queensland and will be displayed at relevant exhibitions.

The Craft Shop was started in July 2006 to showcase and sell handmade, or hand decorated items by local artists.

The Craft Shop is staffed by a very small group of artists and handcraft volunteers. This little shop is a success story and after the shop running costs are deducted, the commission from the sales assists in the operating costs of the Information Centre.

The Information Centre staff works closely with other Centres in the area, exchanging information and brochures.

The Centre should be open seven days per week, from 10am to 3pm. Unfortunately we are sometimes unable to provide this service, due to the lack of volunteers.

DROUGHT, FLOOD, FIRE

love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains, of rugged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains.” So goes the famous poem by Dorothea Mackellar. What she failed to include is that in Australia, there is another element that follows the flooding rains - bushfires. Traditionally the three elements follow each other - the drought is broken by flooding rains which sets everything growing profusely and then that dries out and we get bushfires. It is expected that the lush undergrowth that we see at the moment will dry out this Spring and Summer and also next year and this will provide ample fuel for bush fires.

The weather has cooled off now and although there have been some scattered showers, this is the best time of year to consider bush fire management. Leaving it until August, September, or October is too late as the temperatures are higher and the undergrowth is drier making it more likely that any clearing using a controlled burn-off will get away and cause a major fire.

The local bush fire brigades are willing and able to perform a controlled burn on your property in return for a donation towards their brigade. You are also reminded that it is an offence to light a fire larger than two meters by two meters without a fire permit from your local fire warden.

Towards the end of August, it is likely that a fire danger period will again be declared and it will be illegal to light any fires without a permit. If you need a fire permit and are not sure who the fire warden for your area is or how to contact them, please ring the Caloundra Area Office on 5420 7517. Remember, the last thing we want in our community is a major bush fire.

JUNE 2011 Kenilworth June 2011 30.6mm over 7 days.

So far this year 1127.8mm over 97 days.

POMONA Families Work Together To Create Family Friendly Feasts

T

POMONA ANTIQUES and COLLECTABLES FAIR

he Pomona and District Community House is once again partnering with the King of the Mountain Festival Committee to present a ‘cook-off’ at the annual race day on Sunday 24 July. This year the focus is ‘Families Working Together’. As well as needing to create a tasty, family friendly, nutritious dish, three families will also be asked to demonstrate their ability to work as a team.

“Collaboration, communication and having fun are an important part of this year’s judging criteria,” says Kathryn Shewring, Community Engagement Coordinator at the Community House. “We want to demonstrate that each family member has an important contribution to make to the team.”

The cook-off will be a part of a series of programs aimed at supporting families. Beginning on Wednesday 3 August, Aimee Stanyer from Focus, Division of General Practice will be hosting a series of ‘conversations’ held over five weeks which she invites families and the community to participate in. Topics will include the following: 1. Family – what is it all about?

2. Navigating through the minefield: communication in families 3. Families that play together stay together: How to look at the strengths in your family 4. What’s going on here? Spotting signs of stress in families 5. Practicing calm in families in a busy world.

A family fun day is planned for later in the year. For more information please contact the Pomona and District Community House on 5485 2427.

We will listen and we will gladly accept your help.

OUR COMMUNITY National Tree Day

N

ational Tree Day will be held on Sunday 31 July 2011, with Schools Tree Day taking place on the Friday 29 July 2011. Last year over 312 000 people at 3500 sites dug deep to improve their natural surroundings. Tree Day shows children how easy and fun it is to help our environment.

What to plant and why?

Before deciding what to plant, please consider whether planting is the most appropriate activity for the area you are targeting. The Australian Association of Bush Regenerators (AABR) advise that where a natural soil profile still exists there is always a chance that natural regeneration can occur using a variety of methods to get things going, such as weed removal or even fire.

The 3 Rs of restoration are: • Retain remnant indigenous vegetation; • Regenerate where there is any potential for natural regeneration; and, • Replant only where there is no regeneration potential.

The AABR has also produced an excellent planting guide.

If in doubt please seek advice from your local council or environmental group such as Greening Australia, Landcare, Coastcare and Bushcare. The National Tree Day Information Centre at 1300 88 5000 can assist you in providing your local council contact details.

Tree Day is all about planting native species that are local to your area, often referred to as provenance plants. Local native plants have a better chance of survival, particularly in drought conditions, since they have adapted over millions of years to the conditions in your area.

Australian native plants that do not naturally occur in your region can, in fact, become weeds. One example is the Cootamundra Wattle (Acacia baileyana), which originates from the Cootamundra region of NSW but has become a problem in other areas of Australia where it can invade bushland and displace local native wattles. For a guide to other potential native weeds visit the Society for Growing Australian Plants web site. www.aabr.org.au www.landcareonline.com www.conservationvolunteers.com.au www.greeningaustralia.org.au www.iffa.org.au www.treesforlife.org.au www.menofthetrees.com.au

Wellington’s Way

have written to the alternative premier Campbell Newman seeking assurance that he will not build dams in the Mary Valley, and that if elected he will remove the current restricted sites in the Mary Valley and its tributaries from the State Government regulations.

People in our area have lived in fear for too long and we need absolute assurance from the alternative premier that he will not drought proof Brisbane by destroying the Mary Valley.

What deeply concerns me is that Mr Newman has stated publicly that if elected he intends to change State law to stop Federal Government intervention. The reality is that if the Federal Government had not intervened in the State Government’s plans for the Traveston Dam it would have been built.

Contact me regarding pipeline issues It is important that property owners who have concerns about issues regarding the northern pipeline contact me as early as possible and before contractors enter their properties to carry out pipeline work.

I continue to attend inspections and meetings with residents and representatives from the Northern Network Alliance pipeline construction company and government in relation to on-going impacts that the pipeline work is having on property owners.

Meet me in Cooroy I will be holding my next Cooroy meeting in the Cooroy RSL boardroom on Thursday, July 14. Anyone who would like to meet with me can organise an appointment by contacting my Nambour office on 5441 6933.

David Edward Pickering’s World War I Watch

he Kenilworth Historical Museum has been fortunate to have donated a watch presented to David Pickering by the resident of Kenilworth when he signed up to serve “King and Country” in World War I. Thanks to Ms Lorraine Adcock, niece of Mrs. Dave Pickering for her thoughtfulness in sending this artefact back to its birthplace.

David Edward was the eldest child of Ben and Agnes (nee Gordon).

He was born on May 19, 1896. His schooling was completed at the first Kenilworth Provisional School.

After leaving school he worked for Harry Gordon, driving a coach to Eumundi.

At the age of 19 years and 9 months, on March 6, 1916 he enlisted in the Australian Imperial Forces and was posted to the 15 Infantry Battalion. He embarked on the HMAT Itonus on August 8, 1916 for transportation to the battlefields of France.

Dave was first wounded in action on February 1, 1917 and was repatriated to England on February 17, returning to the front line on September 23, 1917. One month later he was again wounded in action and returned to England for treatment where it appears he remained for almost a year, rejoining his unit on 21 September, 1918. Dave returned to Australia on the Beltana, embarking on June 2, 1919. He was discharged from service on September 4, 1919.

The presentation watch will be on display with other World War I artefacts at the Museum which is open every Sunday 10 am until 2 pm.

Award winning Coolum Artist Pauline Adair to tutor at the Art workshop in Kenilworth

A

s one of the Kenilworth Arts Festival’s growing contributions to the four day art workshops on September 26 to 30 are something to look forward too.

Award winning artist Pauline Adair from Coolum will teach life drawing in pastel with her course titled “Rhythm of Life”.

A complete life drawing experience starting with quick pose sketches to gain confidence then working in a range of exciting techniques. Convincingly portray your subjects, developing your own marks and individual style.

Accuracy becomes less important as you respond with hand and eye to what you see, drawing creatively and spontaneously. Give life to your drawings and find out what the term “how an artist sees” can mean to you.

Make the shift to right brain thinking and kick-start a more creative approach to life drawing.

Pauline explores light and shadow, lost/found edges, line and wash effects. She then moves beyond drawing to figure painting using soft pastels to create works of art.

The Service records in the National Archives have copies of the various telegrams forwarded to his mother Agnes. Pauline finds people, their expressions, colour, light, shadow fascinating, how they affect one another. She The telegram sent 1/11/1917 reads: loves to capture all these elements in a painting.

Elli Schlunke in Nambour

G

um Zen, an exhibition of new paintings by Kenilworth artist Elli Schlunke, opens on Friday 15 July at 5.30pm at Pokokai in Nambour.

Elli has been better known in recent years for her bronze sculptures, including the very large “Sisters by Choice” sculpture of a swan and an egret, commissioned as a collaborative work between the late Maroochy Shire and its Sister City Xiamen in China.

This can be seen in Nelson Park in Alexandra Headlands, and also in Xiamen.

However at present she is inspired to paint again. The series of Gum Zen paintings has been Elli’s response to having a new studio and back deck, from which she has developed a strong bond with her surroundings. “I find it difficult to stop painting these images – the huge variety of curves and shapes of gum leaves is a gift to an artist. At times they cluster into abstract shapes with just a few leaf forms exploding out of them,” Elli said. “Painting them has a meditative effect on me.”
