Kenilworth Christmas Party Friday 23 December 2011

ast year’s Christmas Eve Party was a bit of a washout as the rain forced us to cancel the rides. However, we just moved up into the Kenilworth Hall and Santa still came giving out presents. Although our numbers were down a bit on previous years, we still all had a good time.

Undaunted by last year’s events, Kenilworth will again be holding its annual Christmas Eve party at the Showground, except that it will be on Friday 23 December as Christmas Day is on Sunday this year. The evening starts at 5pm with free entertainment and rides for kids of all ages. The canteen will be operating and you will be able to purchase a wide variety of food and drinks. Bring your blanket, chairs and find a spot on the oval for your picnic.

For those of you who are new to the district, this is a good opportunity to meet people and enjoy the community atmosphere that we encourage. One of the highlights of the evening is the arrival of Santa to distribute presents to all the children at 7pm. Santa starts with the youngest and works his way through to the oldest. There have been years where Santa has distributed a present to a child over 70.

By visiting any of the shops in Kenilworth displaying the “Santa shops here” sign, details will be provided to ensure that Santa does not miss your child at the Christmas party. After Santa leaves, the monster raffle will be drawn. Prizes are donated by the majority of the businesses in Kenilworth and District. Raffle tickets will be available from 5pm onwards. This is the major fundraiser to ensure that we will again be able to hold the Christmas Eve party next year. The raffle draw can last up to 30 minutes depending on the number of different prizes so stick around. You might be lucky.

Put the date on your calendar and if you can help out on the evening either setting up, cooking and serving, or cleaning up, please contact either Tonia at Boxsells or Michael at the Kenilworth Post Office. Come along and enjoy the spirit of Christmas at the Kenilworth Christmas Eve Party. We hope to see you all there.

H

istorical Notes:

1896 -1926 Mt Ubi Receiving Office at Kenilworth Run - Mr Duncan Beattie Receiving Office Keeper (ROK)

1926 – 1956 Kenilworth Post Office - Mrs Catherine RogersPostmistress.

telephonist in three minute segments, with different amounts charged per three minutes depending on distance from initiating exchange. The telephonist would cut into the conversation when three minutes had expired and say “Three minutes, are you extending”. If the call ended at that point the docket was completed, otherwise the subscriber was charged for each three minute extension of the conversation.

Claire Munt (nee Dobson)

The Post Office and Exchange was the centre of the small town.

I started work on the exchange when I was thirteen (1944) and continued until I married – married woman were not allowed to work in those days.

As far as I can remember we had up to 50 subscribers when I began work with a number of party lines. These were a single line with two or more families on the one number with a letter added to that number. To ring them we used morse code i.e.

“S” was three short rings. The switchboard worked with a system of shutters that would fall down when a subscriber turned the handle on their home telephone, indicating the number of that subscriber. The telephonist would place the back plug of a pair into a corresponding hole for that number to answer the call with “number please” and push the front plug of the pair into the required number’s hole (if it was a number for the Kenilworth exchange). A small lever at the front of the switchboard was pushed forward to answer and then pulled back to ring. The ring was completed by turning a handle that was connected to a generator. If the call was for a party line number you would click the lever for the required morse code letter of that number (e.g.

12 S would be a three short rings).

Local calls were also made to the smaller exchanges in the district – Gheerulla, Booloumba and Obi Obi. The way out of Kenilworth per phone was by trunk lines which we had to direct to Eumundi, Nambour and also Imbil which was very dicey so was not used unless absolutely necessary.

Trunk line calls to distant places had to be directed through Nambour and the telephonist would connect the number for the subscribers. Each trunk line call was recorded on a paper docket which had to be noted a second time on a spread sheet which was totalled at the end of the month and forwarded, along with the dockets to district office. The mathematics of the officer in charge of the Post Office was then checked by District Office and if any errors were found – all was returned to that officer for correction before a telephone account could be finalised.

If the caller wanted an Imbil number the telephonist would ring Nambour, who put the call through to Gympie exchange who would then transfer it to Imbil. Trunk calls were timed by the

Another Gift from the Past from one of the “Hello Girls” from the telephone exchange. The knowledge of the working of a plug and cord switchboard is one of the aspects of our past that may soon be lost forever if not recorded for future generations. If anyone has photographs of the interior of the old Post Office the Kenilworth Museum would be most grateful if the owner would loan them for copying for our collection – one of the missing links of local history.

KENILWORTH Royal life saving warns against drowning in pools

H

orrific figures show almost 300 children under the age of five have drowned in the past nine years with latest data revealing 28 children under five lost their lives to drowning in the past 12 months.

Shocking figures suggest around 60% of all toddler drowning happens in the child’s own home and around 58% of all toddler drowning victims are aged two years or under. They also warn a staggering 85% of home pools do not meet current safety standards or are not fenced at all.

People in Kenilworth and surroundings areas are being urged to take action to help reduce toddler drowning. Royal Life Saving has developed two websites that give people resources and tips to help them make a difference.

For more info visit www.homepoolsafety.com.au or www.keeepwatch.com.au A key focus for the Keep Watch program in 2011 is to urge all pool owners to check their home pools from top to bottom. Royal Life Saving has teamed up with partner PoolWerx to develop special fact sheets, a home pool safety checklist and other educational tools. If you want more information about resuscitation training in your local area, call your local branch of Royal Life Saving on 1300 RES-Q-ME (1300 737 763).

Take up a local food challenge this Christmas

ith Christmas fast approaching have you decided what you are putting on the table this year?

Consider the challenge of supporting farmers and the community this season by buying “all local”.

Many seasonal alternatives exist to the traditional European fare and will taste even better when you know they have travelled less and kept local farmers doing the job they know best.

Moya Valley Poultry, Mary Valley Prime Beef and Cherax Park Aquaculture are just a few examples of locally produced chicken, beef and red claw for the table.

Gympie Farm, Mary Valley and Kenilworth cheeses have your cheese board covered, and Tomarata’s Nectarine Chutney is a jazzy alternative to cranberry sauce.

The Lychee Sweet Chilli Sauce would be perfect with a chilled red claw and avocado salad.

You will also find a condiment to suit your cold meats with Cassies Country Kitchen’s large variety of tomato and mango chutneys.

A great way to access seasonal, fresh-picked and spray-free produce from within a 70-kilometre radius is at the Dagun Growers Market.

Vendors will have all the great summer vegetables for roasting and salads. There are also flowers for the table, and an excellent chocolate port for Grandad which was made by Moffatdale Ridge on the family farm near Murgon.

Auswana coffee is grown and roasted in Wamuran, while Obi Obi Green Tea and Olive Leaf blends are a refreshing healthy alternative.

Interesting gift hampers are a fantastic way to introduce new foods or share some favourites with family and friends.

You may design your own mix of gourmet products or come into the store to get some ideas with a “gardener’s pack” or “cooks selection”.

Dagun Growers Market is really making it easy to do things a little differently and source what you can from your local area.

You maybe pleasantly surprised and enjoy the feeling of knowing where your food came from, how it was grown and that the grower got paid a fair price.

Maybe it won’t be such a challenge after all?

Last market for the year is Saturday, December 17 at 2pm at the Dagun Station in the Mary Valley, and it promises to be a festive occasion. Come and enjoy the music and art, and pick up a Christmas gift or two.

The girls of “calories for a cure” team having fun during the Relay for Life fundraising for Cancer research on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 October.

OUR COMMUNITY DAGUN STATE SCHOOL STEPs BACK IN TIME

D

agun students stepped back in time from Monday 31 October to Friday 4 November, when visiting Sovereign Hill Gold museum in Ballarat. Students participated in a two day school program at the Ragged School, where they took on a role character and dressed in costume.

They attended school as they would have on the goldfields during the 1850s. Students became a part of the Sovereign Hill living museum, experiencing everyday life and school during the Gold Rush. They were truly living in history. Students panned for gold, witnessed the amazing qualities of gold during gold pouring, experienced the hardships of underground mining, and the many tensions of our early multicultural and European forebears. The children were able to ride in a Cobb and Co coach, watch troopers fire a volley of shots to celebrate the end of the Crimean War, and watch firsthand the blacksmiths, tinsmiths, confectioners, candle makers plying their trades. The highlight for students was the laser light show, Blood on the Southern Cross, which dramatically told the story of Peter Lalor leading the miners’ revolt during the Eureka Stockade.

The Dagun School P&C, along with local business sponsors, Mary Valley Timbers, have again supported students at Dagun School for their biannual excursion last week. All students in years 1 to 7 travelled to Melbourne to experience the Old Melbourne Gaol and Ned Kelly’s armour, Captain Cook’s cottage and Polly Woodside, a three masted tall ship built in Belfast in 1858. They then travelled to Ballarat and attended a two day school program at Sovereign Hill, a living museum of life on the goldfields.

DAGUN STATION GROWERS MARKET

ummer vegetables have arrived at market. Come and check out our fresh-picked luscious tomatoes, salad and vegetable greens. Guaranteed to last longer in your crisper then store bought veg!

Grower’s have introduced a new ‘stir fry vegetable mix’ alongside our familiar ‘salad combinations’ which include various lettuce leaves, nasturtiums, cress and herbs. New also is the ‘mesculin spicy green mix’ which consists of mustards, elk, and rocket varieties.

Fresh herb packets are also a no-fuss, no-waste way to dress up your dishes with ‘salad blend’ comprising basil, chives and parsley or ‘roasting blend’ being parsley, rosemary and thyme to name a few. Aimed at making dinner time more convenient, the mixed bags offer easy 1-2 meal options for the busy family whilst eating fresher and healthier.

Why pay for inadequate cheap vegetables that have travelled to Brisbane only to come back again and sit in cold storage, while the farmer pays the cost of the markdown prices?

Bananas have also been available all through spring at a regular $5/kg. Simple $10 trays offer value for the family which may get you trying a whole new taste sensation.

There are some great features coming up over the holidays so stay tuned. Catch up with some friends in the community and help keep local food convenient! (see colour photo p7) www.dagungrowersmarket.com

‘Mary Valley Do-ers’ Team Success in Relay For Life

O

n Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 October, while the rest of the Mary Valley was sleeping, a small group of us (see photo colour page7) were walking laps of One Mile in Gympie, to commemorate the battle of cancer victims; to remember those who were lost, and celebrate the survivors. The event was a relay style, with the teams required to walk continuous laps, from 3pm on the Saturday, through till 9am Sunday, having at least one member on field carrying the baton at all times. Not only did our team accomplish that (with a very small number of walkers), but we also took the prize for best overall theme, and ‘best dressed at 4am!’. Our theme was ‘calories for a cure’, as we burned numerous calories for our cause, and consumed our fair share as well, to get us through the long night!

The event was preceeded by weeks of preparation, including fundraising, which was generously supported by the community businesses and residents alike, by donating prizes and purchasing raffle and money board tickets. Our goal was to raise $1000.

Thanks to our generous support, which was primarily from our own small community, we raised $1588 for the Cancer Council!

I would like to congratulate the team and their families: Linda and Lisa Rozynski, Carmel Billiau, Debbie Rozynski, Shellie Watson, Cheryl O’Dwyer, Heidi Rodgers, and Luke Maher. We will be looking for more volunteers for next year so get in contact to enquire about how to join in the fun!

BAMBOO MIRACLE MULCH AT BELLI

B

amboo, the world’s friendliest environmental resource is now producing ‘miracle mulch’.

Following an ABC gardening show report featuring the benefits of mulched bamboo, Durnford Dart at Bamboo Australia commenced mulching experimentation with bamboo harvested on his farm at 1171 Kenilworth Rd, Belli Park.

With an estimated 6000 tonnes of bamboo on his farm and a sizeable mulching machine, Durnford and his staff harvested and mulched several clumps of bamboo.

The mulch was generously distributed throughout the bamboo groves and his wife’s rose garden.

Following a shower of rain the bamboo grove produced an unexpected spurt of new shoots and a flush of new flowers in the recently planted rose garden.

The comparison between bamboo and cane mulch had a similar effect with the roses producing abnormally prolific growth from bamboo whilst cane mulch was normal.

Vegetables planted in a recently established plot are thriving in the bamboo mulch.

With these results Durnford has now commenced thinning his bamboo groves and mulching into bulk bags for delivery to Sunshine Coast gardeners.

Enquiries contact Durnford on 5447 0299 or drop by 7am to 4.30pm Monday to Saturday or email durn@bamboo-oz.com.au or visit http://www.bamboo-oz.com.au/

Two little boys, aged eight and 10 were VERY mischievous. They were always getting into situations and their parents knew all about it. If any mischief occurred in their town, they were usually involved. The boys’ mother heard that a preacher had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. He agreed yb uobut y oasked t thgutoorsee b sithem individually. The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly “do you know where God SEILPPUS LARUR SRET OP is,Rson?” The boy’s mouth dropped open but he made no reply. So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, “where is God?” The htrowlineK tS htboy ebazscreamed ilE and bolted from the room, ran directly home and hid in his closet where his older brother found him.... ‘What happened?’ The younger 0013 2745 nairB enohP brother replied ‘we are in for it this time, GOD is missing and they think we did it!”

Licence # 69449

ou may be eligible for a service medal I recently met with the present of the Sunshine Coast National Servicemen’s (Qld) Association Pat Tempest who is keen to hear from retired Australian defence service people who may be unaware that they are eligible for some service medals. He is trying to contact servicemen and women who are eligible for an Anniversary of National Service Medal and/or the Defence Medal.

Apparently many of the old service records are unreliable, and the Association is urging servicemen and women or former service people to contact the Sunshine Coast secretary of the Association for information about their eligibility.

You can ring the secretary on 5491 3561 or write to the Sunshine Coast National Servicemen’s Association at: PO Box 352 Moffat Beach, 4551 for further information.

Neighbourhood Disputes Act Copies of the Neighbourhood Disputes Resolution Act are now available at my office. I have had many inquiries from residents who have had concerns about overhanging trees and boundary fences, but been unable to reach agreement with neighbours about possible solutions. This amended legislation should clear up confusion about neighbours’ responsibilities regarding these issues. If you have made an inquiry through my office for a copy of this legislation but have still not received it, please drop in to my Currie Street, Nambour office, or phone us on 5441 6933.

Special Olympics staged on the Coast I always enjoy being a part of the Special Olympic events held on the Sunshine Coast, and was happy this year to officially open the Tennis State Games being hosted at the Coast as part of the Special Olympics. It was very exciting to visiting and local competitors who participate in the parade of athletes, and then carry the Olympic torch to launch the event. This year’s Games saw participants and visitors come from Bundaberg to the Gold Coast. Congratulations to the Sunshine Coast branch which hosted the tournament and gave these competitors an opportunity to compete against visiting athletes and meet some new tennis enthusiast friends along the way.

Meet me in Cooroy I will be holding my next Cooroy meeting in the Cooroy RSL boardroom on Thursday, November 24. Anyone who would like to meet with me can organise an appointment by contacting my Nambour office on 5441 6933.
