L o v e s B ay d e v e l o p e r i n corruption scandal The investigation found that Canada Bay Mayor Angelo Tsirekas engaged in serious corrupt conduct by seeking and/or accepting benefits from property developer I-Prosperity Group in return for using his office to favour the company’s interests. These rewards included overseas flights and accommodation, to the value of at least $18,800.

One of the central figures

The sole director of the company that was controversially approved to build the Loves Bay town houses in Kiama Heights was recently embroiled in an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) inquiry that found that the Mayor of Canada Bay Council engaged

in serious corrupt conduct.

In 2022, Kiama Council narrowly approved a DA submitted by Forte Kiama Heights Development to build a row of four terraces on Elanora Road near Loves Bay. The DA faced fierce objection from nearby residents,

This evidence included confirming corrupt dealings between Mayor Tsirekas and I-Prosperity agent, Joseph Chidiac.

When asked whether the DA for the Kiama Heights development would be reviewed, a Kiama Council spokesperson told The Bugle: “Council is unaware of any recommendations from the ICAC findings that relate to who lodged 45 objections whether it was Development Applications against the DA, seriously real or not,” and lodged in any other Local concerned that the terrace that The Bugle Government Area by, or houses were being marketed was “reading far associated with the individto investors as a hotel-style too much into it.” ual who was the subject of development despite the area Kiama Council the investigations centred being zoned for as residenat the time stated around Canada Bay. tial. it would investiTherefore, Kiama Council Kiama Council CEO Jane gate the situahas no legal justification or Stroud said that “We have tion and would reason to review or revisit to take a DA on its merits. explore and the Development AssessThere is an assumption that enact any legal ment or Determination of the the information given in the opportunity available. in the investigation was approved townhouses.” application is correct.”

The eagerly anticipated True Story Festival 2023 is just around the corner. Visitors can immerse themselves in the remarkable talents of renowned Australian non-fiction writers on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 November 2023, at the Coledale Community Hall.

Following on from the success of last year’s True Storytelling Festival, this year True Story: Stranger Than Fiction brings together captivating memoirs that traverse the spectrum from humour to spirituality, together with engaging voices exploring topics like community resilience, cultural identity, local media, regional cuisine, Dharawal language, and First Nations knowledge sharing, and the courage it takes to become an investigative journalists.

On Saturday 18 November, Bronwyn Adcock will speak about the aftermath of the Currowan bushfire, and Dr Jodi Edwards teaches Dharawal words for food from her most recent book, and Wendy Harmer will reflect on her candid memoir, Lies My Mirror Told Me. Journalist Alan Sunderland also shares his ten rules of reporting in a two-hour, hands-on workshop, where participants will have an opportunity to pitch their story to the editor of the Illawarra Flame.

On Sunday 19 November, legendary figure in inves-

tigative journalism Chris Masters will start the day in conversation with one of Australia’s most beloved interviewers, Margaret Throsby. Eda Gunaydin engages in a conversation about belonging and other challenges with Sarah Ayoub, and Gerringong cheesemaker and farmer Fiona Weir Walmsley will share the story of running Buena Vista Farm with ABC Illawarra broadcaster Nick Rheinberger in a special lunch session in collaboration with Earthwalker Cafe.

Later, Indira Naidoo will share how grief led her to find consolation and a new appreciation of life, and AIME Founder and CEO Jack Manning Bancroft will discuss his new book Hoodie Economics. To close out the festival, authors Siobhan McHugh and Jackie Dent will share with Malika Reese side-splitting anecdotes from their careers they'd rather keep to themselves.

Creating a music festival from scratch is a herculean task for anyone, but creating a festival that’s inclusive of 4000 people of all ages and walks of life is another challenge entirely. That’s just what the Clearly Music, Art and Wellness Festival managed to pull off on 10-11 November.

Clearly provided the perfect atmosphere for someone experiencing their first music festival. Australian music festivals need to strike the right balance between being inclusive to younger audiences while allowing adults to let their hair down with a drink or two, and Clearly got this balance perfect.

Designated drinking areas meant rowdy behaviour never spilled over onto the dance floor, and kids could happily dance with their parents near by.

The festival was headlined by Aus-

Even with a lineup of some of Australia’s biggest artists, Clearly still managed to maintain a very “Kiama” feel, and it wasn’t just surf rock. There were plenty of local businesses selling their wares at market stalls and local food trucks from the region serving delicious delicacies.

One of our favourite things about Clearly was the High School Showcase.

Crowds were just as enthusiastic, maybe even more so than the punters at the main stage, and bands like Salt Water Criminals had large groups of younger fans up on their feet for their entire set.

Clearly didn’t just feel like a music festival, it was a festival Kiama can be proud to share with the rest of the country

tralian music royalty Peter Garrett of Midnight Oil fame, who brought his solo project Peter Garrett and The Alter Egos to Kiama. Garrett told audiences at the Clearer Workshop that he wouldn’t be dancing like he did 25 years ago. That didn’t last long, however.

Garrett held the audience of mostly younger punters in his hand as he belted out tunes most would be unfamiliar with if you haven’t delved into his solo work. That didn’t matter to fans though, as punters young and old shared the dance floor with each other to chants of “Peter” throughout the entire set.

It’s no secret many were hoping Garrett would play a few Midnight Oil hits, and he did not disappoint, ending the set with I Don’t Want To Be The One & Blue Sky Mine to send the audience home happy.

Wind farm proposal jumps the gun The Bugle's View Fire Sale?

Madrid-based BlueFloat Energy has withdrawn its recent detailed submission to the Federal Government to generate power using a large field of offshore wind turbines in the proposed Illawarra Renewable Energy Zone. The project was to be called the South Pacific Offshore Wind Project and can be viewed here.

This does not mean the proposal is dead, however, only that the proposal was submitted too early in the process as the company is yet to secure a feasibility license for the next seven years.

In a dramatic turn late on Tuesday 7 November 2023, BlueFloat suddenly decided to withdraw its submission.

BlueFloat submitted and referred a detailed proposal for review by Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek on Friday 3 November, 2023.

The Minister would make an assessment under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act. BlueFloat said it expected such a large project would be ‘called in and declared a controlled project,’ The proposal was for 105 turbines off the Illawarra coast, located 14 to 30 kilometres off the coast and would cover an area of 359 square kilometres. The turbines would be up to 300

Christ Bowen said “No.” Events escalated quickly with BlueFloat CEO Nick Sandkey shortly afterwards There’s no doubt the State issuing a statement where Government has a full plate he said: at the moment.

Public notice

It couldn’t be clearer that this is a live political issue; the Minister is watching Council like a hawk.

In comments provided to the ABC, Council said locals have been “regularly informed on the divestment process”.

“This includes clear and concise explanations of many aspects questioned again today and reinterpreted out of context during Budget Estimates,” a spokesperson said.

It's The Bugle’s strong view that scrutiny of Council’s divestment process is healthy.

While The Bugle recognises Council’s genuine commitment to delivering its Strategic Improvement Plan, more transparency is always a good thing. So too is more accountability.

Like any other matter of public administration, the more people paying attention, the more likely it is that the right decisions will be made.

Ratepayers deserve nothing less.

The meeting organised by South Coast Liberal Paul Elli and Kiama president Michael Cains featured Liberal speaker Andrew Constance.

Michael Cains stated to the Bugle that they were unaware of the journalist being removed. He also added that he had personally invited the Bugle to attend and he was upset at what transpired.

Cains said overall the meeting was very successful.

Shellharbour and Wollongong councils

Hydrogen World First in the Illawarra

have made a major move towards renewable energy by introducing one of the world's first hydrogen-powered garbage trucks.

The REMONDIS waste services' Hyzan Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) runs on hydrogen which reacts with air to produce electricity, emitting only harmless water vapour into the environment.

On October 17, 2023, following extensive trials, the carbon emission-free Hyzan Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) truck successfully completed its first scheduled residential waste pick up in the Illawarra.

REMONDIS Australia CEO Björn Becker said the truck going into formal operation was historic.

“We’re demonstrating that carbon-free transport can and does work in industrial settings,” Mr Becker said.

The hydrogen-powered vehicle can now seamlessly integrate into normal fleet operations with the addition of more trucks.

“This should be likely as economies of scale take effect, making the take-up of such technology the norm and not the exception.”

Wollongong City Lord Mayor Councillor Gordon Bradbery said.

“This is a really exciting development and is a proactive step forward in adapting to new technologies that can help reduce our city’s emissions,’’ Shellharbour City Mayor Chris Homer said “I applaud REMONDIS and Hyzon for their initiative on this project, which will help us prepare for a low carbon future.”

Hyzon Motors' President of International Operations, John Edgley, stated that the Illawarra developments were being closely monitored by global industries.

Mr Edgley stated that today's announcement is a "game changer" for the world's journey towards decarbonisation.

“We’re making it very clear that we’ve got a product now, the first product that’s been designed locally, that’s

ready to go into the market.

“This step forward will give more confidence that as a trucking sector, we can start transitioning larger fleets in companies that have thousands of vehicles.”

The Hyzon Motors heavy-duty waste collection truck outperforms the industry standard with a range of 200 kilometers (125 miles) and the ability to lift 1500 bins per working day. The truck is expected to be further improved through a collaborative effort between Hyzon Motors and REMONDIS NSW South Coast Region Manager, Chris Wade, said over the course of the next few months.

According to Mr. Wade, the goal is to make the hydrogen truck equivalent to our current diesel trucks in every aspect. This includes completing around 1,000 bin lifts in approximately eight hours. The truck refuels at the Corega H2 Hub situated at Port Kembla.

Hyzon developed its Heavy Rigid truck in Australia as a global platform, adaptable for international markets with a multitude of vehicle use cases, such as garbage compactors, tilt trays,

and flatbed trucks. Development of the Heavy Rigid program in Australia has allowed Hyzon to tap into highly skilled local engineering and technical knowledge to build a team, process and product for Hyzon's targeted U.S. and global markets. Building on the back of this ISO-certified Australian developed platform, the first U.S. FCEV waste collection vehicle is in assembly, readying for expected customer trials in the U.S. in early 2024.

The truck will result in 25,000 litres of diesel fuel being saved annually – the amount a conventional diesel-powered waste collection truck of this size uses.

Up to 75 tonnes of carbon emissions would also be eliminated each year.

Heavy-duty transport is known to cause about a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions globally.

The truck is also significantly quieter than diesel trucks. However local garage truck workers indicated they thought the truck too big for many of the Kiama LGA’s streets.

Exciting times!

HOME OWNERS HAPPIER THAN RENTERS Seven in ten Australians say owning a home is important to their overall happiness, according to a new report.

Great Southern Bank’s No Place Like Home Report – released earlier this month – reinforces why the Great Australian Dream is classically associated with home ownership.

While 70 per cent of respondents said home ownership is important to their overall happiness, just five per cent said it is not important at all.

Indeed, the Home Happiness Tracker, contained within the Report, found homeowners are significantly happier with their living situation than renters; homeowners recorded an average “happiness score” of 7.1 out of 10, while renters’ average score was 6.4 out of 10.

Notably, the Report – which surveyed two thousand Australians – found long-term renters were doing it the toughest.

51 per cent of long-term renters said they felt trapped financially, 84 per cent said they were concerned about the cost of living, and 80 per cent said they were worried about housing affordability.

The Report’s release coincides with the publication of another: SGS Economics’ ninth annual Housing Affordability Index.

The Index found rental affordability has gone backwards across the country, with renters in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth under the most pressure.

The Index designated the “Rest of NSW” (which excludes Greater Sydney) as “extremely unaffordable” for renters.

The Report also coincides with comments from ANZ Bank Chief Executive, Shayne Elliot who told The Australian that homeownership ‘has become the preserve of the

rich’. In comments that are likely to stir debate across all levels of Government, amongst dinner tables far and wide, Mr Elliot said if ‘you want a loan you have to be better off, and essentially rich’.

The fresh statistics, which will further fuel public debate about the best fix for the nationwide Housing Crisis, come only a fortnight after Kiama MP Gareth Ward called for a renewed focus on home ownership as means of getting rents down.

Speaking on the floor of New South Wales Parliament last month, Mr Ward said it was a “real challenge” for young people to get into the housing market around Kiama, where the average house price is $1.3 million.

“We need to think about the fact that encouraging people into home ownership – actually owning their own home – will also free up rental properties that can be part of the rental market,” he said.

Just last week, at his Budget Estimates hearing, the NSW Planning Minister spent a significant amount of time talking about securing the Australian dream and addressing the housing crisis for those in NSW. ​​​​ “All parts of the housing delivery and housing types and housing tenures are going to be needed to confront the housing crisis we’re in at the moment… There’s no one solution. Social housing won’t do it alone. Landcom won’t do it alone. High-rise towers won’t do it alone”, said Mr Scully.

The NSW Government has recently increased its rhetoric regarding housing supply and affordability, stating ‘they won’t rule anything out’ including the ‘nuclear option’ when it comes to dealing with Councils and getting houses built.

Where is Kiama Heights?

The exact boundaries of Kiama Heights are somewhat ambiguous. According to the residents' group, the housing area off South Kiama Drive from Anembo Crescent, including the three streets of Attunga Avenue, Kalang Road and Elandra Road before Loves Bay, as well as the entry to Loves Bay for the Kiama Coastal Walk to Werri Beach, are considered part of Kiama Heights.

Some even refer to the area around the Little Blowhole on Marsden Head as ‘Kiama Heights.’

One feature is the Kiama Coastal Walk picnic and

lookout area at the end of Attunga Avenue overlooking the Tasman Sea. There’s no specific name for the headland which Kiama Heights sits on.

The Kiama Heights Residents Group is calling on Kiama Municipal Council to develop the three pocket parks at Kiama Heights for local community use and to facilitate access to Easts Beach for Kiama Heights locals, even those with limited mobility.

The Kiama Heights Residents Group brought forth data indicating that Kiama Council spends the least

outcomes of this study and undertook to “ensure fairly distributed service provision throughout the municipality.

In response to claims that Kiama Heights is underserviced, Mayor Reilly stated that Kiama Council should look into the issue of neglected parkland in Kiama Heights and the loss of access to Easts Beach.

“These have proven to be empty promises. We have been unable to get any improvement either to the walking track or to our amount of money in their pocket parks, despite the fact area by resident numbers. that we have consistently The numbers are sourced engaged in a respectful way from the Illawarra-Shoalusing Council’s engagement haven Local Health District, processes.”

Traditionally, local residents have had stiles or short stairs over their fences and were able to access the public beach at Easts Beach but are complaining the locked gates now impede normal progress.

“You can access the beach along the rocks, but a mother with a pram or young children would be unable to reach the beach except along the paths behind the now locked gates.”

The group stated: “Kiama Heights also has (in practical terms) no access to Easts Beach. The Coastal Walking Track, which could potentially provide access, is in a very degraded state, with the track narrowed in places to a deep rut approximately 30cm wide. The grass and blackberry bushes on either side are overhead height in places, and the track surface is littered with trip hazards such as tree roots and rocks.

This makes it impossible for families with small children have poorer amenities, but or anyone with any mobility we are also, in effect, subsiissues to access.

He referred to the shops or similar amenities.

The historic access through the field to the north of Kiama Heights, which provided access for over 60 years is now blocked by barbed wire and padlocked gates, despite the subdivision originally being marketed as “an easy level walk to Easts Beach”.

The group noted the correspondence from Jane Stroud in April 2023 undertaking to make some improvements.

The walking track between Attunga Avenue Reserve and Easts Beach is part of the Kiama Coast Walk and typically maintained as a rough mown track. However, this section of the coast walk is also used by residents of Kiama Heights as the access point to the beach. As such it requires a better walking surface suitable for families rather than trekkers of the coastal walk. The state of the track has deteriorated considerably after the extensive wet rain over recent years.

Council will apply for funding to upgrade this track to a sealed graded surface to prevent accidents from trip hazards and slippery surfaces.

The Kiama Heights Resident Group finished by asking “If any of your readers wish to support our ongoing work to improve our open space amenity, please contact us at kiamaheightrg@gmail. com”

hospitality & racing regulatory meeting held at kiama pavilion

The Hospitality and Racing concluded the year with its final Regulatory Roadshow of 2023 at The Pavilion in Kiama.

Throughout the year, key figures from the government regulator have embarked on a journey, visiting prominent locations such as Newcastle, Bathurst, Fairfield, and inner Sydney. They have engaged with hundreds of industry leaders spanning pubs, clubs, and the racing sector.

Acting CEO Tarek Barakat emphasised that Kiama was a fitting last stop for the year, given the abundance of pubs Mark Whalan and clubs in the Greater South Coast area, poised to welcome thousands over the upcoming summer.

“Our Regulatory Roadshow series has witnessed tremendous success in 2023, providing our teams with the opportunity to connect with regional stakeholders and address the issues impacting their businesses,” remarked Mr. Barakat.

Mr. Barakat said that the Regulatory Roadshows offered an invaluable platform for managers and licensees of hospitality venues to network and gain insights into the workings of Hospitality and Racing.

Attendees told The Bugle that the best reason to attend the event was networking and to make sure they’re on top of all the latest happenings in the industry. One attendee pointed out that this year was an important milestone with a changing of the guard at Hospitality and Racing, and wanted to make sure to meet the new team in charge of the organisation.

The Regulatory Roadshow on the South Coast is estimated to have drawn more than 100 industry leaders, bringing the total number of attendees to nearly 600 across the five events held in Newcastle, Bathurst, Fairfield, inner Sydney, and Kiama.

workers. She completed her PHD in industrial relations, specifically looking into the aged care workforce, and was an associate professor at the University of Technology Sydney for a decade before deciding to run in the NSW state election.

Dr Kaine isn’t just Labor’s contact for Kiama - she has jurisdiction over a number of other electorates in South Sydney, and says she works closely with Katelin McInerney, who ran for Labor in the Lower House during the 2023 state election. Dr Kaine is also a member of a number of NSW Government committees, including the Modern Slavery Committee, Standing Committee on Social Issues, and the Public Accountability and Works Committee.

value, and how we use those investments.” Businesses in the Kiama LGA will hopefully benefit from these discussions in future as Dr Kaine says the government is looking for better ways for local businesses and Indigenous-owned businesses to interact with the government during procurement.

The Bugle asked Dr Kaine what are the biggest issues facing Kiama residents, and it should be no surprise that the answer was affordable housing and the cost of living crisis, which is currently affecting Australians around the country, not just in the Kiama LGA. Dr Kaine says she knows the housing issue has played out differently in Kiama, however.

“With a bit of an ageing population across Kiama, we need a lot of workers to look after them,” Dr Kaine said. “It’s incredibly difficult for care workers in particular to be able to find affordable housing, it plays out differently in different parts of Kiama, but it’s hard getting people living near where they work.”

Asked what she can do to help tackle the housing issue,

Dr Kaine knows there’s no quick-and-easy solution. “As much as I’d like to be able to single-handedly keep inflation under control, that’s above my paygrade, but I’d be very popular if I had the answer!”

“What I can do and what I’m doing is making sure that any initiatives that the government is rolling out, including energy rebates, I’d love to come down and speak more and provide advice and support for people to access those.

“One of the things with rebate schemes is they can be quite good, but often people who need them most don’t access them. In other electorates, I’m hosting forums to assist people with the nitty gritty of how to make sure to get the help that’s already there. I’m very hopeful that in the near future, we can do things like that in Kiama as well.”

Dr Kaine is also acutely aware that Kiama has a representative in the NSW House of Representatives in Gareth Ward, and has no intention of stepping on anyone’s toes.

“I’m not the Lower House representative of course, it’s appropriate that there is a lower house representative who undertakes day-to-day representations on behalf of constituents, that’s entirely appropriate as it should be.

“What we try to do in this role is provide a further potential conduit for information both ways, directly into the government, which members of the Lower House in opposition don’t have, but also the other way around: information straight from the government to the residents of Kiama. So it’s not the same role, I don’t intend it to be the same role, it can’t be the same role and it shouldn’t be. It’s a supplementary opportunity for twoway communication between the people of Kiama and the government.”

The Bugle hopes to see more local representatives make their way down to Kiama from Macquarie Street to ask directly what they can do to make our lives on the South Coast even better than it already is.

A row over a row of trees in Kiama Downs has led to questions as to what trees residents are allowed to remove on their own property without permission from Kiama Council.

Kiama Councillor Warren Steel raised concerns that a row of trees on a development site at 10 Riverside Drive were removed, questioning whether the property’s owners needed permission to remove the trees.

However, an arboricultural impact assessment conducted by Apex Tree & Garden Experts’ managing director Scott Gatenby for Kiama Council, found that the trees did not need express

permission before they were removed.

The report identified 15 trees on the property, 11 of which were Lagunaria patersonia, also known as Norfolk Island Hibiscus, Cow Itch, or Itchy Bomb trees. This species of tree is considered undesirable as its seed pods are filled with fibreglass-like needles that can cause severe skin irritation to anyone nearby.

Gatenby wrote in his report that “the only arboricultural merit for the Norfolk Island Hibiscus is simply that they are there,” and recommended they be replaced with a row of six to eight trees more commonly seen around the

Kiama LGA such as Cook Island Pines. Norfolk Island Hibiscus is listed by Kiama Council as an “exempt tree species,” meaning residents don’t need permission to remove them.

There were also four other trees on the property, including Water Gum trees and a Eucalypt. These trees however were heavily infested with Ivy, which Gatenby said would ultimately lead to their death and recommended that they also be removed.

All 15 trees have since been removed from the property.

Boral Sand Mining historical massacre site I was so annoyed on the decision that will allow Boral to expand its sand mining to the historical massacre site or anywhere near it.

Why of all places in Australia was the need to desecrate THAT site, wasn't there any sand a few kilometres away?

No, it was just too close to their original site and would cost less to acquire. Either that, or Boral and the Government in their greed and bloody-mindedness, found an opportunity to erase the site and memory permanently.

Can you imagine what would happen if you tried that trick on one of our religious cemeteries, it wouldn't happen.

This is scant regard or respect for a people that have been here for 60,000 years, and they deserve better.

We can do better than this Australia.

You can make up your own mind about that little piece of convoluted mental gymnastics!

Upon reflection, there seems to be quite a similarity between the academic feminist gobbledegook in the article, absolving young women of personal responsibility in their spending habits, and the mental gymnastics of ‘Girl Maths’.

Steven R Sweeney

Minnamurra Massacre Your story on the Boral sand mining at Minnamurra, refers to the 1818 massacre of Aboriginal people. The claim is that 200 people were killed. There was a massacre. It was reported, at the time, by settlers themselves, to the local magistrate. But the report cites about 6 Aborigines killed. The figure of 200 is totally implausible, firstly as to there being such a large congregation in this area (the accounts of explorers seldom record encounters with groups this size) and, secondly, that such RHT a group would sit and allow themselves to be slaughtered Girl Maths Doesn’t Add Up by a handful of people with As a self-confessed COB, muskets, which, of course, in training (Cranky Old had to be laboriously reloadBastard), I read Donna ed after each shot.

name some, all providing habitat to our unique wildlife, most Federally and State protected and most vulnerable or critically endangered, all in the Minnamurra River floodplain.

In his “Paving the way forward”, the Mayor seems to be proud that the Council is taking proactive steps to protect the environment.

May I remind him that only a few short years ago, the Council of which he was a member was prepared to build a 600m long boardwalk in the middle of Minnamurra River at a cost in excess of $10m. The project included the removal of 188 trees, including Mangroves in the process. Only local residents’ pressure and a blowing out project budget, not Council, stopped it. That’s the other side of the story.

On “Green spaces & habitat protection”, the Mayor is absolutely correct when he points out the need for “Recognising the importance of preserving our unique biodiversity”.

In the same edition of The Bugle, on page 3, is an article that clearly shows Boral Limited has begun sand mining at Minnamurra, right in the middle of some of our treasured and critically endangered ecosystem and prior to a decision being made by the federal Environment Minister on whether to grant Aboriginal applications to have the same area declared a Significant Aboriginal Area.

That’s the recommendation of an expert federal government consultant because of the area’s undisputed unique and priceless cultural and landscape values.

And not a word from Kiama Council! Has the Council made any effort since 2020 to stop this totally destructive sand mine? Again, this is the other side of the story.

The Mayor talks about “Partnering with local organisations” on environmental issues. Apparently, the Council is interested in reaching out to more environmental groups. The local volunteers of Friends of Minnamurra River Inc. (FOMR) have shared their resources, knowledge and all their very large number of news releases with Council since the Boral sand mine was

approved by the then State government in 2020, to try to stop the mining destruction of the supposedly protected ecosystems at Minnamurra.

Kiama Council has not responded at all. Not once.

That’s the other side of the story.

The Mayor talks about ‘Council doing its part’. We need more than lip service.

We need Council to promptly start taking responsibility for our natural treasures in the Minnamurra River floodplain. It could very soon be too late.

Letter to the people of Kiama Each year prior to Anzac Day and Remembrance Day, the Kiama-Jamberoo RSL sub-branch has a fund-raising drive to raise money to cover our operating costs for the sub-branch.

Just to insure our Hall at Jamberoo (which we allow the public to use for not for profit activities), provide Public Liability and Corporate insurance and general utitilty and maintenance costs is sizeable.

This year with the renovations up at Woolworths, our efforts to raise funds have been severely hampered owing to lack of passing customers we would hope to ambush. However, we were allowed to set up a stall outside Gareth Ward’s office in Terralong Street, and despite the strains and hardships many of us are feeling with the cost of living these days, we were still able to raise almost $1800 from our poppy sales and other merchandise.

On behalf of my members of the Kiama-Jamberoo RSL sub-branch I would like to thank those people who dug deep and supported the subbranch whose prime aim is to support our own veterans.

Lest we Forget

red poppy Rememberance The Kiama Remembrance Day ceremony at the Memorial Arch in Hindmarsh Park attracted a good crowd on a fine warm day. Everyone wore a pinned red poppy as part of the tradition of remembrance of the red Fields of Flanders in WWI. Remembrance Day is honoured in nearly all Commonwealth countries as well as France and Belgium, to mark the formal end of hostilities on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

The ceremony started at 10.30am on Saturday 11 November 2023 and finished at 11.30 am. Estimates put the crowd at over 120 people.

President of the Kiama Jamberoo RSL branch Lieutenant Colonel Gary McKay opened the proceedings.

Mayor Neil Reilly read the opening prayer and laid a wreath on behalf of Kiama Municipal Council. Terry Stamp read an interesting part of local history, speaking for Kiama local Nelson who served in both World Wars.

His father owned Nelson’s Store in Jamberoo, now known as Fredericks. Paul Wells was the piper and the Last Post was played by Bugle Warwick Sporne.

Shortly after the ceremony closed, a flyover of four aircraft occurred from the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society (HARS) Museum at Albion Park Airport.

Critical gap in Australia's environmental law exposed A comprehensive legal review has unveiled a significant loophole in Australias national environmental law.

This loophole, highlighted by environmental and climate law professor Jacqueline Peelas, allows major polluting fossil fuel projects to evade scrutiny in terms of their impact on climate change. More than 35 leading environmental law experts in Australia have come forward to endorse Professor Peel's findings in an open letter addressed to the Environment Minister, Tanya Plibersek. This letter serves as a call to the Federal Government to prioritise climate considerations in national environmental legislation.

Professor Peel emphasised that the current national environmental law falls short in mandating the Federal Environment Minister to safeguard a safe and habitable climate.

Furthermore, it doesnt require an assessment of the impact of increased greenhouse gas emissions on the species, habitats, and wildlife that this legislation was originally designed to protect. This critical gap in the legal framework is particularly evident in the approval process for new coal, oil, and onshore gas projects, which, according to Professor Peel, bypass proper evaluation of their environmental and climate consequences.

One of the central issues highlighted in Professor Peel;s review is the absence of explicit climate change provisions within the law, which results in a lack of consideration for climate impacts in project evaluations.

Despite previous efforts to include climate considerations in the legislation, these attempts were thwart-

ed, allowing high-emission projects to proceed without a thorough environmental assessment. This issue was reinforced by the recent Federal Court's Living Wonders decision, which demonstrated the limited scope of the law's protection in addressing climate impacts. Professor Peel said, “The recent Living Wonders decision in the Federal Court confirms that even an indirect interpretation of the law’s protections does not bring climate impacts into its scope.”

Professor Peel also drew attention to the limitations of proposed reforms by the federal government, which primarily focus on direct emissions from facilities, ignoring the broader concept of Scope 3 emissions—emissions from products. She points out that, “Other countries like the US are increasingly considering these emissions when it comes to assessing potential environmental

harm.”

Another revelation from Professor Peel's review is that, beginning next year, major companies will be required to disclose all their emissions to financial markets under the upcoming

of establishing a national environmental law that effectively addresses the ongoing climate crisis in Australia.

She emphasised the need for legislation that expedites approval for responsible renewable energy and clean

climate financial disclosure laws. However, this information won't extend to specific projects being assessed under the national environmental law. She says, “This could create a scenario where companies need to tell shareholders more about their emissions than they do environmental protection authorities.”

Climate Council Head of Advocacy, Dr Jennifer Rayner, stressed the urgency

industry projects while firmly rejecting major polluting projects that contribute to climate harm. Dr Rayner called the government's initial consultation drafts a missed opportunity, lacking adequate provisions for addressing climate-related concerns.

“There is simply nothing there for climate, despite the loud and growing calls from communities and experts around the country to deal with this major environmen-

“The Albanese Government should put climate at the heart of this law so that it properly protects our environment, and the precious natural places we all rely on for healthy, safe and prosperous lives.”

tal threat.”

Dr Rayner declares, “The Albanese Government should put climate at the heart of this law so that it properly protects our environment, and the precious natural places we all rely on for healthy, safe and prosperous lives.”

In conclusion, the legal review by Professor Peel, supported by leading environmental law experts, reveals a pressing need to reform Australia's national environmental law to ensurecomprehensive climate protection.

Such reforms should align with international bestpractices and prioritise the environment's well-being in the face of a changing climate.

MP for Gilmore Fiona Phillip[s said in response: “We know that our environwment laws are broken. That’s why we are rewriting them, so that they better protect the environment.

“The Environment Minister has started a further round of

consultation on our new nature laws – over 1,000 pages of complex laws – because we are determined to get this right.

“Since coming to government, we have already put in place strong new climate laws which allow the Minister to stop coal and gas projects adding to Australia’s emissions. We've also legislated Net Zero emissions by 2050, working constructively with other parties and independents to enshrine this into law.

“We know reforming this long-neglected policy area will take time; we are not rushing it because we want to make sure we get it right.

At the same time, we have made huge gains since coming to government last year and we will keep working hard to ensure Australia has the environment and climate laws we need for our future.”

Join the Australian Pollinator Count: help protect our vital pollinators!

Australia's vibrant ecosystem relies on its unsung heroes, the pollinators. The Australian Pollinator Count is taking place from 11-19 November. Taking part is quick and easy via the Pollinator Week website. You simply need to observe some flowers for 10 minutes, record the pollinators you see and register your results.

Australian Pollinator Week acknowledges our important and unique insect pollinators during our southern spring (November). It is a designated week when communities, businesses and organisations can come together to raise awareness of the importance of pollinators and support their needs.

Through group activities, community members can learn and laugh together as they help to support our pollinators. By engaging communities in schools, retirement villages, art groups, gardening clubs, community gardens, local council areas, Landcare groups and neighbourhoods we can increase awareness and act on our increased knowledge.

Organisers have designed a simple and fun pathway to guide you through the ‘ABC’ of insect ID. If you are a beginner or a novice, you can start by reviewing the down-

loadable Learner Guide, or watching the Learner Guide video. These Guides will help you develop all the identification skills you need to become a citizen scientist and join the Australian Pollinator Count.

Once you have reviewed your preferred Learner Guide, complete the quick quiz. If you achieve less than 80% in the quiz, you can go back and review the Learner Guide once more. Once you achieve 80% or more, you will receive the Australian Pollinator Count Upload link.

Australian Pollinator Week was founded by Dr Megan Halcroft, of Bees Business (beesbusiness.com.au), in November 2015. It followed on from a community project called “Bee Aware of Your Native Bees”, which was funded by Western Sydney University and the Environmental Trust.

Communities in the northern hemisphere have been celebrating the importance of pollinators since June 2007, however, the seasonal differences in the southern hemisphere have restricted bilateral celebrations.

White Ribbon Day 2023 - Urgent call to action White Ribbon Australia, the leading movement against men's violence towards women, has unveiled disconcerting findings in its latest study, underscoring the pressing need for increased efforts to address this social issue. The report exposes a concerning lack of awareness and action among Australian men, emphasising that merely abstaining from violence is insufficient.

The key findings fit into four main areas.

1. Knowledge Gap and Inaction: •Over 50 percent of Australian men admit to being unsure where to begin in preventing violence against women.

•Surprisingly, nearly twothirds believe that merely avoiding being an offender is a satisfactory contribution.

2. Identification Challenges: •The study highlights a significant struggle in identifying non-physical forms of violence.

•Only 25 per cent recognise ‘reducing agency’ as a form of violence, illustrating a lack of awareness about restricting women's freedoms.

•Only 30 per cent recognise ‘love bombing’ as abuse.

This is a common tactic of

narcissists, characterised by excessive attention, admiration, and affection with the goal to make the recipient feel dependent and obligated.

•Only 60 per cent consider ‘coercion’ as abuse. Coercive control is an act or a pattern of acts of assault, threats, humiliation and intimidation or other abuse that is used to harm, punish, or frighten someone.

•“Disrespect” should need no explanation, yet only 64 per cent regard this as abuse.

•Finally, “shaming,” a term used to describe the act of making negative judgments, comments, or criticisms about a woman, based on their body shape, perceived sexual behaviour, choices, or clothing, and only 69 per cent recognise this as abuse.

These all track well behind the obvious physical forms of violence against women.

3. Confusion on role: 56 per cent of Australian men express a lack of understanding about their role in preventing violence against women.

4. Gendered issue misconception: Despite 95 per cent of violence against women being perpetrated by men, Australians mistakenly believe that only 71 per cent of cases are caused by men.

Potting at 92: The Inspiring Craftsmanship of Roger Graham Roger Graham, 92, is an accomplished craftsman and a true gentleman who stands as a testament to the enduring power of passion and creativity.

His second career as a potter has defied the constraints of age and flourished with time.

Roger's primary focus is on creating high-fired domestic stoneware. His pieces are practical and yet artful, designed to be cherished in our daily lives. Working from his workshop, which is nested in the charming setting of the old Toolijooa School House, Roger skillfully brings clay to life in the form of mugs, teapots, bowls, and figurines. His creations include a variety of animals such as owls, dragons, pussycats, little wombats, emus, and dolphins.

Previously a school science

teacher in Kiama, in his retirement, Roger embarked on an artistic journey with his wife, Pauline, dedicating four years to a part-time pottery course at TAFE. Both of them graduated in 1991 with a Certificate in Studio Ceramics, with Pauline even outshining her husband in academic prowess. In fact none of this would have happened if Pauline hadn’t started off the idea! She booked the first course and bought the first wheel, and the rest, they say, is history.

Regarding their venture, Roger humbly refers to it as a "cottage industry," which came to life in 1988. Their initial equipment was modest, including a small electric kiln (6 cubic feet), lovingly resurrected from its burntout state. Over the years, they expanded their arsenal with a larger gas-fired fibre

kiln (27 cubic feet), a smaller test kiln (2 cubic feet), and a wood-fired kiln, each reflecting their commitment to the craft.

Today, Roger continues to shape clay into art while Pauline takes on the pivotal roles of Quality Control Supervisor and Customer Relations Manager. Roger consults with her about glazes and creative design for the pieces. Despite the march of time and the slowing pace that comes with it, they persist in their creative journey.

If you ever find yourself on the highway near Toolijooa, watch for a sign directing you to their pottery 'display room.' In their charmingly modest style, they prefer not to use the term 'studio' as it sounds "too pretentious," opting for 'display room' and workshop.

This workshop is a haven

He thrives on learning and “We meet a lot of interest-

Very humble about his achievements, Roger says that, apart from the creative outlet, he and his proteges find potting very soothing, adding “Who doesn’t like ‘playing in the mud’?”

For a closer look at Roger and Pauline's artistry and craftsmanship, you can visit their 'display room' at Old Toolijooa School, 233 Princes Hwy, Gerringong, NSW 2534. Alternatively, you can explore their website: Pottery at Old Toolijooa School. And if you like stories, Roger and Pauline have plenty.

Capturing coastal life: Michele Skuza's 'Sea to Sky' exhibition

Local Gerroa artist, Michele Skuza, unveils her world of brightly coloured oil paintings that vividly portray life on the South Coast of NSW, both above and below the waterline. From November 23 to 29, the Old Fire Station Art Gallery in Kiama will be adorned with her creations.

With over two decades of artistic exploration under the guidance of renowned North Queensland artist Ruth Heiner, Michele's work exudes a unique style. Her paintings showcase the lively inhabitants of rocky reefs, featuring fascinating creatures like

the blue-ringed octopus and weedy sea dragons, sharing space with the beautiful birds found in coastal gardens.

In 2019, after more than 30 years as a marine scientist on the Great Barrier Reef, Michele relocated to Gerroa to pursue her passion for painting. Inspired by the breathtaking scenes and creatures along Australia's coastline, her bright and hyper-realistic style is a joyful celebration of the vibrant colours in the natural world.

Michele's artistic journey took an unexpected turn when a friend's request to paint local shorebirds on driftwood led to innovative experimentation. Salvaged board lining from demolition yards became her canvas, proving immensely popular with the locals.

"Birds Behaving Badly," Michele's latest exhibition promises a delightful narrative. From magpies scavenging New Year's debris in "New Years Day" to Cocka-

toos indulging in unattended pavlova in "Polly wants a Pav," and rainbow lorikeets relishing scones and jam in "Devonshire Tea," each piece tells a story.

Michele says, “One of my favourite things about having an exhibition is the people I get to meet and have a chat with, for example, the threeyear-olds who can tell me the The Kiama Tennis Club hosted its annual seniors tournaname of every bird and sea ment on the weekend of 11 creature I have painted, the and 12 November, 2023. octogenarians who tell me The event was held at two stories about their backyard locations, at the Noorinan wildlife encounters, as well as the wag who demanded a St courts and on Saturday discount as he was buying a and Sunday mornings at the Blowhole courts. painting with only the head of the cockatoo not the whole There were around 115 entries and players travelling bird!” from Canberra, Bega, MerimFor Michele, art should bring joy to both the creator bula, Wollongong and Sydney attending and ages of players and the collector.

Opera in the Valley – an enchanting evening of musical delights

Anne Hattersley, with granddaughter Olivia and daughter Vanessa Talbot

Glenn Amer and his ensemble delivered a captivating performance at Opera in the Valley, 4 November, leaving the packed auditorium enchanted.

Introduced by the CWA President, Daphne van Oudtshoorn, the MC, Emeritus Mayor of Kiama Mark Honey, opened the performance.

The evening then unfolded

as a perfect blend of musical entertainment. The CWA's meticulous planning shone through. This remarkable event marked 26 years since the first presentation of Opera in the Valley, a testament to their wealth of experience and practiced finesse.

Glenn Amer, not only the maestro of the evening but also the pianist and a talent-

ed baritone, clearly relished his role at the grand piano in the Jamberoo School of Arts.

His ensemble featured Viktoria Bolonina, whose rich mezzo-soprano tones were a highlight; tenor Matthew Reardon, who delivered soulful notes and a playful tone; Ian Warwick, a charismatic baritone, was full of personality, and soprano Michaela Leisk, who sang with emotion and feeling, stepping in at the last minute for Pamela Andrews who was unwell.

The vocalist’s performances were first class. With an abundance of personality and warmth, they conveyed the stories behind each song, which was particularly useful as most opera is not in English. The emotional depth of their singing, coupled with humour and banter between the artists, kept the audience thoroughly engaged throughout the show.

Matthew Reardon sang the well-known Neapolitan song "O sole mio," composed by Eduardo di Capua in 1898, and the audience learned that it is considered by many as the very first Italian pop song.

The $60 ticket price was undeniably great value, as everyone had a good seat since the room holds only 200

people. Notably, the acoustics within the building are excellent, and the first-class refreshments only added to the overall experience.

The Bugle spoke to several members of the audience, many of whom were loyal annual patrons and some who were attending for the first time. All shared their delight about the evening.

The hard work of CWA members was evident in the smooth running of the evening; in the fine supper they prepared; and the wine and cheese served during the interval. It should be noted that it is well and truly a team effort to present this show every year and all those who contributed their time and efforts should be commended on a job well done.

Special recognition does go to Cathy Delhaas, whose tireless efforts in organising the event shine through every year. She aptly described the occasion as "a lovely way to spend an evening," a sentiment heartily echoed by all those present.

Opera in the Valley continues to enchant its audience year after year, making it a must-attend event for lovers of musical excellence.

Kiama Council debuts small community grants

Kiama Council has introduced the new Small Community Event Grants program so community groups will no longer need to apply for funding on an ad hoc basis.

The Small Community Event Grants program will offer between $250 and $2000 to local groups to help fund their events.

Funds will be distributed across two rounds in April and November each year in April and November, with each round offering a total of $8000 in grants.

Eligible groups need to be based in the Kiama Municipality, be incorporated or auspiced by an incorporated organisation, be not-for-profit, and be able to demonstrate how the wider

community will benefit.

Kiama Mayor Neil Reilly said the new program provided a better way to support community events in an open and transparent way.

“Council receives numerous requests for donations throughout the year from local organisations for community events such as garden competitions, art workshops, charity concerts, street parades and bushfire fundraisers,” Mayor Reilly said.

“These were traditionally considered by Council as they arise on an ad hoc basis.”

Applications for the November funding round are now open, and close at midnight 24 November 2023.

Jon Phipps: A Legend of Lions

In the realm of Lions Clubs International, the mantra 'We Serve' is not just a slogan but a commitment to selfless service. Within this community-minded ethos, Jon Phipps stands as a model of humility and dedication, embodying the core values of Lions.

Recognised as a 'Legend of Lions,' Jon's journey traces back to the inception of Kiama Lions in 1970, where he holds the distinguished position of being one of the two original charter members.

The Kiama Lions Club, formed on March 12, 1970, at the Brighton Hotel, under Brendon Foye the leadership of Charter President Ian Andrews, has evolved into a beacon of

community service. The charter night on June 16, 1970, marked a significant moment with 220 Lions, visitors, and guests, where the Club's average age was a youthful 28.

Jon's service extends over an impressive 53 years, during which he has actively participated in various projects, from the iconic driver reviver initiative to his current focus on the Australian Lions Children's Mobility Foundation. As a physician, Jon underscores the many benefits of philanthropic endeavours plus an active lifestyle.

Beyond his Lions commitments, Jon, alongside Hilton Bloomfield, champions

fundraising through stamp collection, an initiative where stamps from individuals and organisations across Kiama are auctioned. The proceeds from these auctions fund walkers for children facing mobility challenges.

Jon has been a passionate cyclist and spearheaded fundraising events to raise much-needed funds for organisations like the Fred Hollows Foundation and the Children's Medical Research Foundation. His four-year involvement in the St. George South Coast Running Festival during the 1980s demonstrates his commitment to making a tangible impact.

In reflecting on his Li-

ons journey, Jon expresses gratitude, stating, "Lions has been an amazing gift for me."

He says that the camaraderie within the Club, united by a shared goal of making the world a better place, has enriched his life. As Kiama Lions extends an invitation to like-minded individuals, Jon's story serves as an inspiring testament to the power of community service.

MILLIE DUNN TURNS 100

Millie Dunn, a remarkable centenarian, celebrated her 100th birthday on 8 November 2023. Born in 1923, she has had a truly extraordinary journey filled with rich experiences.

Bluehaven held a surprise party for Millie on Wednesday afternoon to mark the occasion. Since you only turn 100 once, Millie's daughter in Shellharbour also hosted a luncheon party in her honour on Saturday.

As a young woman Millie enlisted in the Australian Army Medical Women's Service, where her administrative skills led her to work in the Army Medical Units.

It was during her time in the service that she met and later married a handsome soldier named Frank, marking the beginning of a lifelong partnership.

After the war, Millie and Frank settled in the remote outback town of Cobar, a region between Dubbo and Wilcannia, where they raised four children. Life in those days was characterised by primitive living conditions, including water that was a muddy red colour. Millie distinctly remembers the development of a charcoal water filtration system, which transformed the water into a vital resource. When asked about the greatest invention that impacted her life, Millie

unequivocally stated, "Fresh running water." Her perspective, shaped by her life's experiences, reflects the profound value of simple necessities.

Millie's early years were spent in Fairy Meadow, where she enjoyed a simple, carefree life of walking and cycling, with everyone in the community knowing one another. Later in life, she and Frank settled in Oak Flats, where she resided for nearly six decades, several years of it on her own following

For younger generations, Millie's advice is to cherish the myriad of opportunities available in today's world, contrasting with the limited options she faced during her youth. She encourages them to "try more" to lead a successful and happy life.

KHS Open Night Talent

Students selected for National Youth Science Forum

Kiama High School threw another successful Open Night on 7 November 2023, giving future students a glimpse into what their future schooling might look like.

The night was run by students and teachers alike, with peer leaders and volunteers leading prospective students through a range of activities from science, music and technology through to sports and the arts.

It was also an opportunity for Kiama High’s senior students to show off their major works for the year, which thoroughly impressed onlookers with the skills and

talents of tomorrow’s future leaders.

Seven Year 11 students are raising money for their trip to the National Youth Science Forum taking place in January next year. The trip will cost $3000 each, so the students sold lollies while their parents and teachers helped out with the sausage sizzle to help raise funds for the trip.

Seven Year 11 students from Kiama School have been chosen to participate in the National Youth Science Forum in January 2024, a program designed for students with a passion for science.

These talented students include Emily Farrah, Keziah Whitford, Charlie Meredith, Charlie Philpott, Maisie Whitbourn, Kai King, and Ruby Sylvester. They are eagerly looking forward to the event, with some heading to the University of Queensland in Brisbane and others to the Australian National University in Canberra.

To be selected, students were required to submit comprehensive applications, seek endorsements from local Rotary Clubs, deliver speeches, and undergo interviews with a panel of experts.

Given the total cost of $3000 per student to attend, the generous contribution of $1000 from local Rotary Clubs has gone a long way to help the students make their trip possible. The remaining expenses are being covered through student-led fundraising efforts, including a sausage sizzle and selling lollies at Kiama High’s Open Night. Their teacher, Mrs. Ruth Power has also played

a vital role in guiding the students.

Keziah Whitford says he values the opportunity to “challenge myself and push beyond my comfort zone,” emphasising that one can never fully realise their potential without taking risks.

“You’ll never know what you can achieve if you don’t try.”

Ruby Sylvester eagerly anticipates “expanding my knowledge across diverse scientific fields” and views the NYSF program as a significant step towards her future career in medical science.

Charlie Meredith's deep passion for STEM shines through as she describes his participation in the program as a “crucial stepping stone towards my future.” She expresses heartfelt gratitude to the local Rotary Clubs for their firm support.

Kai King echoes the sentiment of gratitude, saying, “We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has generously contributed to this initiative.” He believes that the NYSF will open doors to “the connections and opportunities needed for success.”

Maisie Whitbourn aspires to “expand (her) scientific

knowledge, with a particular focus on biology, genetics, and infectious diseases.” She shares that her motivation stems from her younger sister's autism, which has influenced her passion for genetics. On behalf of the entire group, Maisie extends appreciation for “the multiple donations that have greatly supported our fundraising efforts, particularly to Khan IGA in Gerringong.”

Charlie Philpott perceives the NYSF opportunity as a “fundamental building block for his future career and personal success.” He looks forward to the experience igniting his passion for various scientific topics.

Emily Farrah deeply values the impact of science on life and eagerly anticipates a deeper exploration of STEM. She has long aspired to become a research scientist and acknowledges the driving force of her passion and dedication. She adds her thanks to Saltwater Kiama “for their generous donation toward this Program.”

Gerringong Naval Association: a life- ‘when the stone had crumbled away, the line of friendship and support memory of the ANZACs would still be green’

Max Hair wielding a naval officer's sword prior to cutting the cake - FOR APP

In Gerringong, the Naval Association of Australia has been fostering camaraderie for 21 years through its vibrant and close-knit community. Comprising ex-service personnel and their partners, the association is more than just a monthly gathering; it's a lifeline of friendship and support.

The association prides itself on creating a positive and engaging environment, where members, ranging from aviators ("birdies") to divers ("bubblies"), come together to share their unique experiences. This diverse blend also includes “stokers or clankies” (engineers), “subbies” (submariners), “dibbies” (seamen), “fish heads” (ship drivers), “greenies” (electricians), and “box packers” (logisticians). Clearly, it’s a group that enjoys humour and banter. Unlike the traditional military hierarchy, there's no distinction in rank here – everyone is known by their first name, fostering a sense of equality and easy going friendship.

Meeting monthly, the group engages in storytelling, affectionately referred to as "warries" (stories).

These tales, often laced with humour and banter, provide a therapeutic outlet for members who understand the nuances of a life in the

Navy. It's not just about reminiscing; the association recognises the importance of social connection for mental well-being, especially during the challenging transition into retirement.

The monthly gatherings also feature a formal segment where business matters are discussed, and occasionally, remembrance is observed. Historical talks and commemorative events add depth to the meetings.

Following the formalities, members enjoy coffee and cake and informal chats.

Once a month attendance is optional at a local lunch venue, further strengthening the bonds forged within the group.

Despite the evident benefits and the sense of family, the association faces a challenge – dwindling numbers. Encouraging retired personnel to join is a priority, ensuring the inclusive and diverse mix of members continues to thrive. The group is not limited to Australian Navy veterans; it welcomes those from the British or Canadian navies and the merchant marine.

At the helm of this maritime community is Commodore Lee Cordner, a veteran with 33 years of active service and 16 years in the reserves. Dr. Cordner, also

an accomplished author on maritime security, serves as the President. The group's Patron is Vice Admiral Tim Barrett, a former Chief of the Navy, adding a touch of prestige to the association.

The Secretary, Robert Foster, a former Warrant Officer, exemplifies the association's commitment to continued service. In retirement, Foster works as a Veteran's Advocate, assisting fellow vets in navigating the bureaucracy of Veterans Affairs. This dedication reflects the association's ethos of looking out for one another beyond the monthly meetings.

The Gerringong Naval Association's legacy traces back to the late Bill Popple, a WW2 veteran and founding secretary. Although Popple has passed away, his spirit lives on. The oldest member, Max Hair, known as "Bunny," is 95. Bunny served as a ‘dibbie’ (Petty Officer) in the Korean War, and in his speech at the group’s 21st anniversary event he described the association as more than a group – a family.

In a world where connections are valued more than ever, the Gerringong Naval Association stands as a testament to the enduring bonds forged by those who have sailed the seas together.

Gerringong and district cricket association 1923 - 1938

My father, Clive Emery, loved telling stories about family and Gerringong history. On the way home from Gerringong to Gerroa one day when I was a child, we were driving past what is now the entrance to Gerringong Golf Club. As we proceeded along the road Dad breezily waved his arm towards the West over Graham’s farm and said, 'We used to play cricket there once you know. Sometimes the grass was so long it was hard to find the ball after it had been hit. Often the farmer would let the cattle onto the field before the game to eat down the grass which presented a brand-new set of difficulties if you get what I mean’.

It didn't mean much to me as a child, but I wondered why they played there and

not at the main ground in Gerringong.

Cricket in Gerringong 100 years ago was going through one of its golden eras. Sport has always been a big part of life in the district and cricket was no exception.

In 1923 cricket in Gerringong had two problems. The first one was the fact that a significant percentage of the players were farmers. Now farmers need to milk twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

Games that start at one o’clock and finish at six make it difficult for the afternoon milking. Secondly there were so many men and boys who wanted to play. To solve both problems it was decided to form the Gerringong and District Cricket Association.

It started off as a B grade

competition but in the early 30’s moved up to A grade status. The original teams were Gerringong Town, who called themselves The Seagulls, Crooked River (the original name for Gerroa), Toolijooa and Foxground. Later a team was formed from Omega (which included what is now known as Werri Beach).

From November 1923 till 1937 many great battles were fought on the cricket fields dotted around the Gerringong district. Most, if not all of these do not exist, even at the main cricket ground at Gerringong which is now called Michael Cronin Oval. Incidentally, Michael was a great cricketer in his own right for Gerringong CC. I have this vague recollection that he played another sport for the district as well!

One memorable game occurred on the 18th of October 1935. Crooked River was up against Foxground.

Crooked River was in grand form making Foxground chase the leather all afternoon. They scored 6 for 423. Three centuries were attained that day, Ivor Emery 103, T. Henry 137 and Bede English 115 not out.

The competition was played in grand spirit. At the end of the season, there would be a wonderful celebration at the premier meeting place in the Gerringong district - The School of Arts Hall, which is now the Gerringong Library and Museum. The hall would be tastefully decorated, entertainment was provided, and a scrumptious supper would be served.

Like all good things it had to come to an end. In 1937 it was decided that Gerringong would join the Kiama and District Cricket Competition once more. Because there were so many great cricketers it was decided that Gerringong would enter two teams under the names of Gerringong and Foxground. It is worthy of note that the final for the 1937 season was between those same two teams.

It looked like Gerringong was going to continue

its glory years into the 40’s but alas, the good times for Gerringong, in fact the whole world, were over. Many of these great men went on to serve their country, some paying the ultimate sacrifice.

Cricket meant so much to these Gerringong citizens.

When I was a young boy, my Uncle Ivor would sometimes visit us at Gerroa. He could barely walk with his hips and knees showing their age.

However, at the mention of cricket his eyes would light up and he would ask for a bat and show me his favourite shot- tickling the ball between first and second slip for a quick two runs.

In 1977 Ivor was asked by the Kiama Independent to name the players he particularly remembered from those times. I have used his lists and other sources to compile a list of names. It is in no way meant to be a complete list.

Many of these names are lost to time. Many gave sterling service to Gerringong both on the sporting field and in general life. None should be forgotten.

Mervyn Walker, Vic Martin, Joe, Cecil and Eric Langton, Jack Deitz, Harold Ross, Jack Fields, Clyde and Aub Cant, ‘Tinyo” Miller, S.G. Miller, Keith Boxsell, Lin Miller, Val and Athol Noble, Jack, Herb and Tom Thompson, Bede Devery, Bruce Sharpe, Bede English, Ray Kennedy, Neville Nelson, Lloyd Sharpe, Alex Trevallion, Alan Crapp and Edgar, Clive and Ivor Emery. What a team you could make from these names.

It would be remiss not to add the lovely ladies, Phylis Chatto and Olive Emery, who were dependable scorers for any years.

It is planned that both the Historical Society and the Gerringong Cricket Club will be celebrating this anniversary in some way during the coming season. If you have any old stories, photos or memorabilia you might have lying around that you can share, we would love to hear from you.

Winning the ‘war on waste’ For the past 20 years, our Waste Management Officer Josephine, has been driving our awardwinning campaign efforts to reduce, re-use and recycle.

How did you get started in waste?

Moving to Kiama in 2003 I was looking for a job where I could use my public relations and horticultural experience. I started with Council as a casual administration assistant with the Environment and Health team before being offered the position of Waste Management Officer, a position I hold to this day.

Kiama Council, and our community, are consistently recognised for our waste reduction efforts. Just how good are we?

We are very good! I am proud that Kiama is recognised as leaders in the field thanks to our unique approach to waste management and the efforts of our residents embracing change.

We were one of the first councils in NSW to introduce a food and garden organics (FOGO) waste service. Eleven years and many environmental awards later our FOGO service is often used as an example for other Councils.

Our innovative Household Bulky Waste Drop Off Event has also been a great success, with 63% of all waste dropped off either recycled or reused.

Why the passion for waste reduction?

Growing up in a family of seven, my parents were always mindful of saving money. I was used to getting hand-me-down clothes and giving food scraps to the family cat/dog/ duck or using it for the compost for the veggie garden. So, I have always been conscious not to waste things. When I started at Council, I got a true understanding of the environmental benefits of minimising and managing waste effectively. I strongly believe it is everyone’s responsibility to ‘own’ their waste. But you need to be passionate to be convincing.

National Recycling Week National Recycling Week (13 – 19 November) is a great opportunity to refresh your recycling knowledge and habits. Our household waste, recycling and organics guide lists more than 200 general household items and how to dispose of them: www.kiama.nsw.gov.au/wasteandrecyclingguide

What work goes into all these initiatives?

I couldn’t do my job successfully without the support of my manager. He allowed me to develop my passion for waste management, giving me the responsibility to develop our various waste initiatives and programs to address current and emerging waste issues.

Are people becoming more waste aware?

I have found at work and in my personal life that people are more waste aware. At our Household Bulky Waste Drop Off Event, it’s wonderful to see so many residents coming through the Up 4 Grabs area to pick up preloved items for themselves.

Our other ‘second hand’ events have also been increasingly popular, from Second Hand Saturday to the newer initiatives such as Clothes Swap and Fabric Swap.

When I first started only 52% of our waste was recycled, now, we are at a very pleasing 73%.

But I know we can do better!

Leisure Centre gym upgrade We’re introducing new machines and equipment over the next two months, just in time for you to make this summer your healthiest and most active yet at Kiama Leisure Centre. www.kiama.nsw.gov.au/klc

What are the next challenges?

While FOGO has been a game-changer in reducing the tonnage we send to landfill, we need to do more. We need to look at packaging and the single-use plastic ban is definitely a step in the right direction.

Also, recycling puts the onus on the consumer, not the manufacturer. So, manufacturers need to rethink the way they manage their waste by ensuring a percentage is reused/repurposed within their own production process or in other industries. We are making small steps in the world of circular economy, but we need to make this a priority before it is too late.

Give us some trivia?

Our recycling operator only accepts items they can process, anything else is deemed contamination. So, it’s very important for residents to know what can go in their yellow lid bin. The same goes for the FOGO bin.

We’ve noticed our green lid bins getting increasingly heavy. In fact the side arm on one of our waste trucks recently broke while lifting one of these bins!

In June, The Bugle shed light on the plight of Mark, Yvonne, and Yvonne’s mum Ethel, who found themselves in a predicament when their house in Bombo was left unfinished by a builder who went bankrupt, leaving them with a partially built house and no further funds to complete the build.

She was previously working as a personal trainer, but in 2019 decided to take the leap and set up her own brick and mortar store for homewares, lifestyle and kids’ fashion in Woonona called The Native Nest.

Bec and her team renovated the space. Gone are the carpets and dark lighting in favour of crisp, white walls, brand new wooden floors and plenty of sunlight.

The store is currently stocked with homewares, kids clothing, gifts, and even swimwear and beach accessories for those visiting the nearby Surf Beach.

“At the moment, it’s quite spacious, we’ll get more larger pieces of furniture and that sort of thing. I definitely want to get more brands in and more gift items, things like that,” Bec said.

Bec says she’s made an effort to ensure all of her suppliers are either based in Australia or design their products here, and that they are typically smaller, ethically sourced brands.

“I like the idea of not having what everyone else

has. A lot of the brands we have here will not allow you to stock that brand in the same suburb, so it’s quite nice. I just like the idea of not having products from large manufacturers,” Bec said.

It’s still very early days for The Native Nest, but Bec says the feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive.

“I put [our opening] on the local Kiama Facebook page and it got a great response.

The number of comments from well-wishers, I was so shocked. It’s quite consistent with foot traffic here, and a lot of people from the coffee shops on Manning Street come in which is nice.”

Looking ahead, Bec is keen to fill out the store with more boutique products, so watch this space.

SPOT THE DOG NEEDS NEW OWNER Spot the Dog grooming salon is looking for a new owner it’s on the market. Val is very sad to be saying goodbye to her clients (and their owners) but the time has come in her life to move on to new adventures. She is particularly excited that someone else will get to enjoy the rewards of working for themselves, and with animals, in a thriving, well established business.

Every day, and every dog, is different.

Val says, “It really has been a joyous way to earn a living for the last 15 years”.

Val fell into dog grooming quite by accident, having just relocated to Kiama from Sydney. She had been working in the film and television industry in various aspects of costume. “I loved the creative side of the work but not the inconsistency of employment,” Val reveals.

Just after her move, she ended up caring for a friend’s dog while she was in hospital for an extended period of time, and it was in desperate need of a groom. Val bought some clippers from the op shop and launched in, and then found that she was a natural. Val enthuses, “I was thrilled that I could now combine my love of animals with my creative skills.”

She never imagined she would be running a dog grooming salon, but it has al-

lowed her a wonderful sense of belonging and connection to this great community, supporting local charities and providing employment. Val adds, “I have been blessed with reliable and hard-working staff and enjoyed mentoring many people over the years.”

Clients have appreciated the reliability and consistency offered by Spot the Dog salon and the convenience of the shopping centre in Kiama Downs with its easy parking.

People often ask Val if she has a favourite breed of dog, but she always responds that “it’s the one that’s in front of me” but if she really had to choose, she’d have to say puppies do melt her heart.

Val says that she will really miss the ongoing relationship with the owners and the dogs, seeing them regularly hearing their news and dog antics. “It’s been an honour sharing tears and sadness when their dogs pass and a joy meeting and grooming their new family members,” Val says.

In the meantime, Val advises, “Remember brushing your dog is more important than washing.”

It’s business as usual at Spot the Dog whilst she awaits interest from prospective new owners.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE ASSISTANCE PET

Psychiatric service dogs and cats are emerging as life-saving companions for individuals battling mental health conditions like depression and PTSD in Australia.

These animals offer crucial support that medication, police interventions, and

institutionalisation often fail to provide.

Psychiatric assistance dogs (PADs) are specially trained service dogs that aid individuals diagnosed with mental health issues such as PTSD, depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, or bipolar

disorder. These dogs, easily identifiable by their service vests, play a significant role in improving the quality of life for their owners.

Despite their effectiveness, the program is not widely understood, and limited spaces are available. mindDog, established in 2011, has facilitated around 2,000 client/dog teams across the country. One Kiama resident, Daniel, attests to the positive impact of his psychiatric support dog, Kippa, in avoiding life-threatening situations and managing encounters with emergency services.

The demand for these dogs is on the rise, leading to an increasing waiting list. However, the two-year training period and a cost of up to $60,000 per dog pose significant challenges.

Boat, a retired Australian Border Force trainer with PTSD, finds support in his cat, Bandit. While acceptance of cats as psychiatric support animals is limited, Bandit is recognized for train travel in NSW and Queensland, becoming the

first registered Assistance Cat in NSW and ACT. Recognition of the right of entry for assistance animals in public places, protected by the Federal Discrimination Act of 1992, remains a challenge. Lack of awareness and understanding often results in barriers for individuals with psychiatric assistance dogs, similar to those faced by guide dogs for the blind.

Research from the Black Dog Institute indicates that psychiatric assistance dogs contribute to improved social anxiety and decreased self-harm incidents. These companion animals act as catalysts for positive social interactions, combating the sense of isolation experienced by many with mental health issues.

In a survey of mindDog participants, every respondent expressed positive mental health benefits and real improvements in their lives.

The decrease in service use was attributed to reduced suicide attempts, hospitalisations, and medication requirements, while increased

use was linked to improved attendance at appointments.

Tasks performed by these dogs include anxiety reduction through tactile stimulation, bringing their owners back to the present, interrupting undesirable behaviour, constant body contact, deep pressure stimulation, and blocking contact from other people. The

positive impact is evident across various mental health diagnoses. mindDog oversees the training and certification of psychiatric assistance dogs across Australia, ensuring the rights of all assistance dogs and their handlers under the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act 1992.

The organisation describes the unique strategies developed by each dog to assist its handler, ranging from interrupting self-harm to alerting to seizures or manic episodes. Clients consistently report greater confidence, improved ability to leave their homes, use public transport, engage in social interactions, better sleep, and reduced dependence on medication.

The stories of individuals whose lives have been positively transformed by these animals are encouraged, emphasizing the profound impact of pets on mental well-being. For further details see the rest of the article on our app.

EMBARK ON A VOYAGE ALONG THE KIMBERLEY

Visit Montgomery Reef, an expansive submerged marvel spanning over 300 square kilometres, which showcases the remarkable tidal forces at play in the Kimberley.

As the tide withdraws, Montgomery Reef emerges from the sea, transforming into a spectacular underwater realm, where shallow waters form waterfalls as it flows over the surface. Rigid inflatable boats (RIB) can anchor here, so that visitors can explore this

natural wonder.

Stepping onto the exposed reef feels like entering an otherworldly landscape. Clear pools form in crevices, revealing a rich display of marine life including darting schools of fish and gliding sea turtles. The reef comes to life and a vibrant scene unfolds.

The highlight of this experience is the sighting of a dugong - a rare and elusive creature. Often referred to as "sea cows,"

these gentle giants inhabit the waters of the Kimberley, although their appearances are rare. Witnessing a dugong gracefully swim near your RIB is a moment to marvel - its prehistoric allure is captivating.

Continuing the expedition, the shifting tides unveil new surprises. Testament to the beauty and dynamic nature of the Kimberley Coast, the waterfalls shift, and the underwater panorama constantly changes.

A journey to Montgomery Reef showcases the natural marvels concealed in the remote and pristine landscapes of the Kimberley.

The encounter with the dugong, the ebb and flow of the tides that transform the reef, and the wonder of the submerged world will create indelible memories from an extraordinary Kimberley cruise.

Postcard Home Greetings from Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia!

Jeddah, KSA's second-largest city (after the capital, Riyadh), lies on the west coast, bordering the Red Sea. Like most major KSA cities, it has a long and important history. It owes its commercial foundations to Caliph Uthmān, who in 646 made it the port for Muslim pilgrims crossing the Red Sea while journeying to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. It has a major university and international airport, and was once the diplomatic capital of the country.

In contrast to this ancient history, the 'floating

18 NOVEMBER 2023

mosque' was built in 1985 over the shore of the Red Sea, on piles planted under the surface of the sea.

It's official name is Al-Rahma Mosque, but colloquially called the floating mosque because at very high tides it appears to be floating on the sea.

Around the exterior is a huge space of marble flooring shaded with small domes to block the heat of the sun.

It is distinguished by its pure white colour and calligraphic frieze around the outer wall.

The interior incorpo-

rates modern and innovative architecture style, with a gold-leaf calligraphic frieze and large glass windows, which provide worshippers a view of the sea, to merge the spirituality of the place with the splendour of the landscape.

The mosque also has a spectacular dome decorated with a huge chandelier suspended by eight pillars.

The beauty of the mosque is not limited to its construction; it is also equipped with advanced sound and lighting technologies, to complement the elements that distinguish it from others with its serenity and beauty.

The mosque is located adjacent to a family-oriented entertainment/dining

precinct: 'Jeddah Corniche', which opens late afternoon and runs well into the night.

So next time you're visiting Jeddah with the family, wander down to the Corniche with the kids, enjoy a Red Sea sunset next to the Al Rahma Mosque (also go inside the mosque to admire its inner beauty;

shoes off, remember!), then treat the kids to some rides and a meal during the pleasant evening.

The Bugle Newspaper

The Bugle is launching a new column that focuses on health and wellness for our readers. Here is the first article for your enjoyment!

Aging bones and osteoporosis: understanding the silent threat As we age, our bones silently weaken, posing a growing concern for people beyond their mid-30s. With increasing life expectancy, osteoporosis is set to affect up to 13 per cent of the Australian population.

Bones resemble a honeycomb with walls and spaces.

A normal part of aging for everyone, particularly after about 50 years of age, is that bones lose minerals, like calcium more quickly than the body can replace them, and we start to break down more bone than we rebuild, which leads to loss of bone thickness (also called bone mass or density).

In osteoporosis, walls thin and spaces grow, making bones weaker and more prone to fractures. In severe cases, even a minor bump can result in a fracture, particularly in the hip, spine, wrist, ribs, pelvis, and upper arm. However, not everyone will develop osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is often referred to as a 'hidden threat'

because it can progress unnoticed until a fracture occurs.

After age 60, one in two Australian women may experience fractures related to osteoporosis due to the significant drop in estrogen levels after menopause.

A bone density test result can show if you have osteoporosis, or bone density below a certain level and if you have other risk factors for fractures. The treatment includes lifestyle changes like regular exercise and a balanced diet, along with medications that can either slow bone loss or promote bone rebuilding.

The usual risk factors for osteoporosis include a family history of broken bones, poor dietary habits, including insufficient amounts of calcium and/or vitamin D or protein, physical inactivity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and the use of certain medications, like corticosteroids.

Signs of low calcium levels include: ●extreme fatigue, ●lack of energy and an overall feeling of sluggishness, ●light-headedness, dizziness, ●brain fog, ●insomnia.

If these symptoms are present, it would be well worth a visit to the doctor to explore the reasons why.

With a number of entries in the past month The Bugle has awarded a Bugle mug to one of our youngest readers Sienna Mireylees.

Mum Leah says Sienna loves to read The Bugle and was thrilled with her prize.

The key takeaway is to be aware of your risk factors and take proactive steps to prevent fractures. If you experience symptoms of low calcium levels, consult a doctor promptly.

CHEESY PASTA SAVER MEAL

By Gareth Ward The cost of living is going up, and I’m looking to save everywhere I can.

I have a weakness for cheese – I love the stuff! I often have left over cheese when I have family and friends over for lunch or dinner. Instead of throwing it away – freeze it. My preference is for those glass dishes you can buy at some supermarkets which means you can reuse them.

M

If you are looking for a quick meal, melt down two tablespoons of butter in a glass bowl. Add flour as needed to turn the butter into a paste and mix around the bowl.

Cut up the frozen cheese into little pieces, throw it into the bowl and add milk as required (the amount of milk is up to you but its best to fill the bowl just below the height point of the cheese depending on the quantity you’re preparing).

Pop it into the microwave for three minutes and keep heating until it all comes together into a nice gluggy sauce. You may need to add extra flour as you go.

If you love your chilli (like I do) cut up some

The great thing about this dish is that you can re-freeze some slices and throw them in the microwave when you’re on the run. I found one up the back of my microwave that had been there for three months and it was near perfect when reheated (although it was 9PM and I hadn’t eaten all day, so in fairness I probably would have snapped at the feet of a low-flying duck – but you get my point).

FI ON A I P S M P PHILeLmber for Gilmore F e d e ra l

Method:

fresh chili, throw it in and stir it through at the end. Dry chilli does work just as well.

Boil some macaroni pasta (or your pasta of choice) until cooked, oil up a baking tray and place the pasta in the tray and mix the cheese sauce in with the pasta. Add some ham across the top for extra flavour.

Bake until golden brown and then remove from the oven. Top with some avocado and parsley.

I’m here to help with issues like Medicare, Centrelink, aged care and pensions, the NDIS, Veterans’ Affairs and community grants. I can also arrange flags, and special birthday and anniversary messages.

Please let me know how I can help you.
