AUGUST 2012 KENILWORTH

There was no rainfall recorded in Kenilworth during the month of August, although there was a trace of rain on the 23rd.

This is the first time that no rain has been recorded in a single month since 1991 which was also in August of that year.

For interest sake, there have been times since 1903 when no rainfall has been recorded in various months – namely February, March, June, July, August, September, and October. Therefore this last month was not that unusual except that it hasn’t happened for 21 years.

Our front cover story

KARI gallery celebrates two years

t is two years since Vit Martinek, Anna Howard and a couple of fellow artists sat down to create a gallery with a difference.

What they came up with was KARI, the Kenilworth Artist Run Initiative, which has grown to embrace 16 artists from the Mary Valley and Sunshine Coast regions.

Kari marks its birthday with a group exhibition opening on September 22 to coincide with the premier art festival Kenilworth Celebrates! at the hinterland town.

In its short time Kari has established a following in various media including painting, sculpture, ceramics and 2D art work.

Mr Martinek said the Kari gallery showcased contemporary art by its members as well as selected guest artists, and supports established and emerging artists.

Among the exhibitors is Debra Dougherty, who draws on memories and photos of the Australian bush and beaches to create unique paintings.

Ceramicist Ellen Appleby finds inspiration through travel, learning, reading and meeting other ceramicists through conferences and workshops, and the far reaching, supportive online network of ceramic artists and organisations.

There are other familiar names on the list of exhibitors, including sculptor Ted Moran (Shell pictured left) and a previous winner of the Mary Valley Art Festival Patricia Cale, who was also twice a finalist in the Mayor’s Prize at the Kenilworth Celebrates! festival.

Kip Clark, Tanja Gahler, Rowley Drysdale and Yeats Gruin bring diversity to the exhibition alongside the Middle Earth Ceramics from Leisa Gunton.

Ms Gunton is a local artist inspired by the intricate patterns and complex forms of the rainforests, creeks and foreshores of the coast and its hinterland.

The Kari gallery at 10a Elizabeth Street, Kenilworth, is open 10am-2pm on Saturdays and Sundays, or by appointment on 5488 6376.

KENILWORTH the fourth show in history

alone prove how correct is the forecast.

Possibly 2012 may yet see the splendid city in the Great Mary Valley spring up!

Kenilworth Museum will not be opening on Sunday 16 or 23 September because of volunteer commitments with the Kenilworth Show and Kenilworth Celebrates Festival.

n the following article published on page two of the Nambour Chronicle Sept 8, 1922 some points of history have been raised. “A good hour by car” from Eumundi; railway that is expected to be brought further up the Mary Valley; a splendid city… Kenilworth.

The fourth annual show run by the Kenilworth P.A. H. and I. Society was held on Thursday of last week. There seemed as big an attendance as ever before, but more so of local people than visitors from a distance. The 17 mile run out from Eumundi was, thanks to the soft nature of the road a good hour by car, but the small amount of dust, as compared with former years was a pleasant feature, which enabled the country to be seen to better advantage. Arrived at the ground, it was noticed that little difference had been made since last year in the matter of buildings, which however, had been made sufficient for requirements when erected, but more seating at the ringside appeared to have been added. It is perhaps as well that the Society did not make any big additions, as there is to be faced in the near future the question of removal of the ground to some position nearer to the railway that is expected to be brought further up the Mary Valley before very long and will undoubtedly, as other railways have always done, draw all local institutions to it sooner or later. It will be wise management if the Society secures a good piece of freehold soon, on which it can finance, and erect a quotum of improvements each year according to a plan, thus applying its resources as profitably and economically as possible.

Well organised the Society might make an exceptional start, and become a big factor in the future development of the district, which with promised facilities in the shape of a great main road not parallel to that railway and its natural fertility, should prove one of the gems of Queensland country life set in the midst of very beautiful scenery into the bargain. Somewhere in the Great Mary Valley a splendid city has yet to spring up, and if it is not to be at Kenilworth, we do not know where there is a better prospect. The show as a whole bore this out, and time will

Battle of the Kokoda Track The Battle for Australia Commemoration day in the first week of September acknowledges the military and civilian losses in the Japanese attack on Australian soil in February 1942 and the fierce struggle to expel enemy troops from what was then the Australian territory of Papua.

The Battle of Milne Bay has already been printed in the MVV so it is time now to look at the Kokoda Campaign (23 July-18 Nov 1942). Three militia Battalions (39th, 49th, 53rd) and a Papuan Infantry Battalion under Australian officers moved over the Kokoda Track for their first engagement with the Japanese at Alawa on 23 July. Outnumbered, they were driven back past Kokoda village to Llima, arriving on 17 September. The 39th Battalion was badly mauled in the engagement and retreat (battle casualties and illness reduced it from 1500 to 185). An advance party of the experienced 7th Division back from the Middle East arrived in Port Moresby. Its commander, Brigadier A. W. Potts was given command of the militia.

The young militia men (19+years) were untrained in jungle warfare. They were dressed in khaki which stood out against the green forest. They encountered horrific conditions – nearly impenetrable rainforest, a steep muddy and slippery track up and down ridges, rainforests dripping with moss and leeches, mosquito infested swamps that gave them malaria, being continually wet and cold in the incessant rain and high altitudes. Their heavy packs and boots and summer uniforms were unsuitable for the conditions. … to be continued next issue 10 Oct. Sonya Kellman

KENILWORTH

Now a key part of the Kenilworth Celebrates Festival, the Breakfast had its humble beginnings at the Scout Hall some fifteen years back and continues to be organised by the Conondale Range Committee as its contribution to Kenilworth Celebrates.

MC for the breakfast, local poet Ian Mackay, says this year will see a great mix of favourites from last year as well as the reappearance of some from earlier years, but he emphasises that one of the most delightful features is always the emergence of new poets.

“We’ve always kept a great mix at Kenilworth,” he says, “inviting more experienced poets who regularly perform at places like Woodford or the Gympie Muster while still keeping room and a warm welcome for those building up their style and experience.”

“No two breakfasts are ever the same,” he says. “Not only do the performers differ from year to year but their choice of material is apt to change right at the last minute depending on the direction of what’s gone before. The result is a totally unpredictable foray through a range of emotions and images created by nothing more sophisticated than the performer’s use of words.”

While there remains endless debate about what precisely constitutes “bush poetry”, one of the simplest interpretations is along the lines of “bush mechanic” or “bush lawyer”; stockfeeds+animal health agricultural+chemicals ordinary folk who’ve learned their craft, and developed HAY+FENCING+PLUMBING their own style, from OPEN: Mon to Friday 7am–5pm & Saturday 7am–1pm the ground up as it CRYSTAL CLEAR RECEPTION enilworth were.

The Breakfast starts at 8am on Saturday 22 September in the woodchop arena at the rear of the Kenilworth Hall.

Entry is just $5. A variety of cooked breakfasts, Devonshire tea, coffee and cake and fruit and yoghurt will be on sale.

Following the Breakfast, there’s ample time to visit the impressive art display, the centrepiece of the Kenilworth Celebrates! Festival, in the nearby hall, as well as taking in the special markets and a host of other activities and entertainment.

An increasingly attractive option, especially for those who travel some distance to attend, is that of camping in the showgrounds and simply strolling over to the Breakfast in the morning. Phone 5446 0131 for camping details. For enquiries about the Breakfast, phone Ian on 5446 0124.

After the Breakfast, around midday, the arena will change roles yet again to be transformed into a printmaking workshop with Erica Neate, as part of the Sounds of Mary project leading up to this year’s Mary River Festival in early November.

The most widely reported response from the audience is that they never realised poetry could be that much fun. A straw poll at last year’s festival showed most were there not as a result of advertising but because they’d been there before and were back for more.

MARY VALLEY A Great Night of Music… coming to the aid of the Festival

T

he second of two fundraisers for this year’s Mary River Festival will be held at Joe’s Waterhole (Live at Joes venue) in Eumundi on Friday 28 September.

While films were the emphasis of the recent highly successful fundraiser at the Majestic Theatre, this Eumundi evening focuses squarely on music and features Barry Charles who has always been a great supporter of the festival, along with The Floating Bridges who really wowed the crowd last year and will be back again for more.

Barry Charles is often described as an “extreme vocalist” though this label scarcely touches the sides of his talents.

Barry has been an energetic force in live music on the

Sunshine Coast for the past three decades, and listening to him perform it’s not hard to understand why. He is a prolific songwriter, has released a long string of acclaimed albums and stands out as a truly unique performer and a total joy to listen to.

In a few short years, The Floating Bridges have established a reputation as one of the most exciting and focused bands to emerge from southeast Queensland.

Drawing widely from Blues, Roots, Reggae, Funk and Rock, they’ve infused it with their own passion for social justice and environmental stewardship along with their deep respect for indigenous culture. It’s a great mix.

They’ve toured their lively lyrics, their earthy beats and exuberant percussion the full length of the continent’s eastern seaboard including being supports for John Butler Trio, Jimmy Barnes and Xavier Rudd, to name but a few.

Following a couple of earlier EPs, they released their first full length album, “Chasing Sunsets” midway through this year, as well as keeping up a gruelling touring schedule.

Last year they were the closing act for the Mary River Festival and left the crowd wanting more. This year they’ll be back to give it.

Make sure to mark “Kandanga Sportsground, November 10” in your longterm diary but get an early taste of the festival at Joes Waterhole at the fundraiser on Friday September 28.

The evening goes from 7.30pm (music starts at 8pm) and tickets cost $15 with a sausage sizzle and raffles available.

MARY VALLEY Sneak preview of Mary Valley scarecrow entries

R

ecycling is the name of the game when it comes to creating scarecrows for the upcoming Mary Valley Scarecrow Festival.

Organisers of the annual event which kicked off on Saturday 15 September - have been privileged to get a sneak preview of a couple of Kenilworth entries.

They hope that by sharing these photos, it will prompt residents from the northern end of the valley to get creative.

The festival has received great support from ABC Coast FM and announcer Rob Blackmore returns as a celebrity judge this year with MP Peter Wellington.

Who could forget Mr Blackmore’s scarecrow spotting road trip which was broadcast live as he tackled the back roads of the scenic Mary Valley from Dagun near Gympie south to Conondale.

Hervey Bay resident Beryl Davidson has spent so much time visiting the valley that she and her husband bought a bush block at Brooloo years ago.

“While we don’t live here permanently, we like to be a part of the local community and I have entered scarecrows for the last five years,” Mrs Davidson said.

Her two entries – to be placed outside the Kenilworth butcher and the newsagency – will be among the best to beat, as her entries in the same positions last year collected awards. You might remember “A Good Sport” and “Gold Lottie”.

Mrs Davidson loves to add a limerick to her entries as well, and tells us that the ’crow she prepared for the Kenilworth Newsagency is called Maggie Zeen.

Maggie Zeen (pictured left) is made from a bucket lid and sewn scrap fabric cover (head), a styrofoam kick board (body) and cardboard tubes from fabric roll (legs).

It just goes to show that you don’t always need a bale of straw to make a scarecrow.

Mrs Davidson said the festival was an additional attraction for the valley, and built on an established market where many people come to the area for a scenic drive.

There is still time for more entries, and organisers urge people to be sure to register their ‘crows in order to make them eligible for judging.

Find out more by emailing info@scarecrows.org.au or visit www.scarecrows.org.au You can pick up a registration form from the following locations: Conondale Shop, Kenilworth Information Centre, Ridges Shop at Poulson Road, Mary Valley Traders (hardware store) at Imbil, Kandanga Information Centre, Amamoor Shop and Dagun Railway Station.

The stuffed figures will be popping up on country roads and busy streets for the official festival from September 15 to October 28.

T

he Celebrated George Barrington - A Spurious Author, the Book Trade and Botany Bay is the title of the book by Dr Nathan Garvey and the subject of his talk at 1.30pm on Saturday 6 October at 41 Miva Street, Cooroy.

In his book Dr Garvey tells the story of the notorious pickpocket George Barrington, who operated in London in the late 1700’s. A dandy and articulate Barrington attracted much attention in the newspapers. His criminal behaviour finally led to transportation as a convict to New South Wales.

Barrington’s name became fraudulently embroiled in the fast changing popular English publishing industry, this practice continued after his death and well into the nineteenth century.

It appears that the phenomenon of ‘celebrity’ and the public thirst for sensational material existed in the 1700’s in England and continues to this day.

Visitors are welcome, to find out more phone 5442 5570.

Cooroy-Noosa Family and Local History Research Group will hold their monthly meeting after the talk.

OUR COMMUNITY Chicks in the Sticks HIGH TEA

“We are also very grateful to Lloyd and Barbara Campbell who have again opened up their property, which is in a spectacular setting, for us to hold the high tea.”

Tickets can be purchased through Kelli Hoyes by phoning 5446 0593 (home) or 5446 0155 (work) and Lolie Murtagh 5446 0222.

T

here could be no more tantalising way to welcome spring than a sumptuous high tea in the grounds of Yabbaloumba Retreat in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland where everything pink will hold sway.

Last year’s inaugural Chicks in the Sticks was so successful raising more than $3000 for breast cancer research that organisers knew they wanted to do it again this year on Sunday 28 October.

One of the highlights will be Cadenza, a quartet of women whose barbershop performances have been taking the Sunshine Coast by storm. The sound, style and chic of the four women, whose musical performance covers everything from classics to jazz, has to be seen and heard.

Lilly Pilly Boutique of Cooroy will show its new Spring/ Summer collection, Affordable on Elizabeth will have the very latest in accessories, featuring the much talked about brand Booradley and members of the Kenilworth Quilt and Craft Group are making an enchanting quilt that will be raffled. The winner will be drawn on the day.

And if that’s not enough to tempt you, there will also be an auction with some amazing goods, prizes for each guest at the best dressed table, free sparkling wine or nonalcoholic punch on arrival, and of course a few surprises.

High tea will be served about 2.30pm and all the fun starts about 1pm.

Tickets to this much talked about event are strictly limited and this time people who buy their tickets in advance will have the chance to win a weekend away.

Spokesperson for the organisers Kelli Hoyes said the feedback to the augural event had been so heartening that it was decided to host the high tea again.

“People had so much fun last year and their comments were so encouraging we decided to host it again” Kelli said.

“We also wanted to give as many people as possible the chance to attend the high tea which was talked about for weeks afterwards last year so we are encouraging people to buy in advance. Those who do have the chance of winning a weekend away.

Pictured left just one of the “dressed” tables at last year’s Chicks in the Sticks inaugural high tea where more than $3000 was raised for research into breast cancer.

re you always tired, exhausted and feeling as if you haven’t slept a wink?

Your problem may well be Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA).

OSA is a very common type of sleep disorder and can affect people of any age. A large portion of the population are losing their sleep to OSA and don’t even know it. Often it is a partner or parent - someone who is also inconvenienced by the disruptive sleep patterns, who point out the possible symptoms.

There are many signs and symptoms. Some are …

• loud snoring – complaints by family or waking yourself up snoring • daytime sleepiness • falling asleep easily when seated, such as watching television • partner or family member notices you stop breathing in your sleep.

If you have any of these symptoms a sleep study may be required to effectively diagnose Obstructive Sleep Apnoea.

OSA carries some serious medical and lifestyle complications such as:• increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attack or stroke • relationship break-ups due to snoring, lethargy and the various emotional instabilities that commonly result from seriously impaired sleep …

Talk to your Doctor or the Sleep Clinicians at Goldfields Fullife Pharmacy in Gympie (see advertisement page 9), phone 5482 9671. A sleep study may be done in the comfort of your own home.

Rogo’s round-up

t’s been an honour to be part of the welcome back celebrations for our Olympians and I’m looking forward to a great reception for our Paralympians in the next few weeks when they return from London. It certainly is a reminder that we all have so much potential and with hard work and commitment great goals can be achieved.

There’s a lot of locals working hard at the moment to make sure the next Kenilworth Show and Rodeo is the best one yet. My wife Lesley and I are certainly looking forward to catching up with old friends and acquaintances and giving a hand where it’s needed.

Thanks to Belli Park Progress Association for welcoming me to their meeting in early August. It was a good chance to hear what’s happening in the community and talk about solutions for improving services. As a result, I’m investigating the extent of communication towers, increasing the amount of transport options and general Kenilworth-Eumundi Rd issues. I’m looking forward to the next opportunity for meeting with Belli Park locals.

If you have been using the Flexilink trial bus service between Kenilworth and Mapleton or if you have something to say about the service – then council wants to hear from you. Your feedback will help shape the future of the trial services that are funded by council’s Public Transport Levy. Surveys can be completed online via council’s website http://www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov. au/sitePage.cfm?code=flexilink-surveys and everyone who returns the survey by 21 September 2012 has the chance to win a $200 Visa gift card.

Contact me on 5441 8373 with your questions and suggestions about making the Sunshine Coast Australia’s most sustainable region – vibrant, green and diverse.

Catch you in the valley!

Dear Editor, It is Kenilworth Celebrates! time again. I thought it might be interesting for the community to revisit a small potted history of this Festival which developed out of the growing interest in art by local artists nearly thirty years ago.

Over twenty years ago, the Artists of Kenilworth group was formed and from 1995 held regular exhibitions in the CWA Hall. So successful were they that a small group of local artists, led by the late Jean Glanvill decided to have a small competitive art exhibition in the Kenilworth Park. Wow, what a success it was! So much so, we went on to stage another exhibition, held at the Kenilworth School, outside in the front school yard. Again people loved it and it obviously filled a niche in the community.

In 1989, the Kenilworth Branch of Queensland Arts Council was formed, thanks to Glen Spicer, Shirley Moreland, Veronika Spicer and Jean Glanvill. The keen committee members of the Arts Council thought, “Let’s try for the big time,” so we approached the Kenilworth Show and Rodeo Committee to ask if we could join their show section on Rodeo Saturday. Wayne Paulger and his committee agreed and were very helpful so off we went! Our thinking was, best to start on a day where there were already “bums on seats”, so to speak hence Rodeo weekend. We did this for three years (1996 to 1998). Our art exhibition grew in popularity and so, happily, did the arts/crafts section of the show. KAC decided to move on to our own weekend with a two day show and a grand “Preview Night”. We started with borrowed display boards and borrowed plinths and a lot of work by our band of happy volunteers. In 2000, Kenilworth Arts Council was named “Local Arts Council of the Year” for the innovative approach to working productively with another community group.

After Kenilworth had suffered a string of unfortunate and tragic events – loss of two bridges in floods, dairy deregulation and mysterious disappearances of two women – it was decided to expand the “art” exhibition into an “arts” exhibition named “Kenilworth Celebrates!” to try to lift the morale of the town and bring enjoyment and participation through the arts. A meeting with Neil Cameron of Woodford Folk Festival fame and some sound advice from Patrick Mitchell of Qld Arts Council set us on our successful way.

The then Maroochy Shire Mayor, Joe Natoli, recognised the value of Kenilworth Celebrates! by granting KAC $15 000 for “The Mayor’s Prize”, a major art prize to support an emerging artist.

And so from those humble beginnings, through the hard work and dedication of local community members, has grown Kenilworth Celebrates! as you see it today.

Veronika Spicer Founding member of Kenilworth Arts Council and Kenilworth Celebrates!
