Talent quest!

Enter now for the Youth Talent Quest, part of the Lions Club’s Seaside & Arts Festival. Organiser Julie Rowlands has the details.

Who is the Talent Quest for?

Any singer, musician, band or drama act 21 years and under (as at March 31, 2016).

We can’t accept dancers as our stage for the final is a truck bed that is quite a way off the ground so there are safety issues. There is a junior section under 15 years and senior is 15 to 21 years.

What skills do you need?

To be able to get the audience to relate to you, confidence on stage and choosing a song/act that plays to your strengths.

What can you win?

There are four cash prizes, plus trophies for each section. Prize money in total is $1600.

Who won last year’s comp?

Last year’s junior winner was a then 12-year-old vocal/guitarist named Jacinta. She has the voice of an angel and is stage mature beyond her years. The senior section was won by a local lad named Sandon. He was 15 at the time and a vocal/ keyboard player.

4

Who’s been the youngest competitor?

A young lady just seven years of age.

The funniest?

We had a young man who did comedy theatre.

Even when we had some technical difficulties he kept everyone entertained.

Someone who’s gone on to succeed elsewhere?

One of our first winners, Nathan, has gone on to perform in major theatre productions and is now a full-time entertainer.

What kind of songs are usually a hit?

Anything that the contestant is confident performing. If they are comfortable, that usually shows.

Any well-known judges lined up?

Christian Power from Lonesome Train joined us last year. He has had a long and varied career and brings his expertise to the judging panel.

Anything else we should know?

The judges and our sound man, Kenny Evans do this voluntarily and without payment every year.

Kenny has been with us for 10 years and his help and professionalism is immeasurable.

All prize monies and trophies are donated by PRS Partners Chartered Accountants, Ryans Hotel & Beaches Hotel. Our Saturday stage is donated by IGA Thirroul. The first heat is on March 20. n Entry forms at www.thirroulfestival.com. 2515

Funds for Tanya

Tanya Stubbles is a Coledale artist famed for amazing works in wood and metal. Since she was injured in a fall, South Coast artists have rallied to help. You can too – by buying art. 2515 reports.

On November 20 last year, a Clifton School of Arts exhibition ended in a tragic accident. Much-loved Coledale artist Tanya Stubbles fell down stairs, seriously injuring her head. She has been in hospital ever since.

To help her friend and fellow artist, Pauline Denney has turned a corner of her Pd Gallery at Coalcliff into a fundraising site.

About a dozen works, generously donated by South Coast artists, are for sale at discounted prices, ranging from $50 to $1250. Visitors can also buy $5 raffle tickets to win a Paul Ryan painting.

Art on sale includes paintings, sculpture and photography, with works by John Bokor, Matt Bromhead and Richard Morecroft (the former ABC news reader).

They are the unsold works from a December 22 pop-up gallery at the Coledale Christmas Twilight Market. “Everyone was interested,” Pauline says. “It raised $10,000. We still have a few works left.”

All the money will go to helping Tanya, who is slowly improving in hospital.

“Basically what the community wanted to do was raise some money to keep her going,” Pauline says. “Because she did actually live on her art, she was very self-sufficient. I always admired her for her strength … to be an artist bringing up a family on her income.

“She is a mother of four children, the youngest being 12 and the oldest being 18. She has lots of

6

friends and family who have helped.

“But now it’s about trying to keep bills going.

“Tanya had bought a place in Coledale, it’s her little house and we want to make sure she keeps that.

“We just said, OK, let’s get together, organise all the artists that want to donate work.”

The response was tremendous – even artists who did not know Tanya personally donated work.

Tanya is well known for her big works made of recycled wood and metal – including “old things she finds on her road trips”, says Pauline, who first met Tanya while studying fine arts at Wollongong TAFE 10 years ago.

“Tanya is a good friend of ours, we’ve collected her work over the years. She was just about to get involved in some big shows, she was very excited about it.

“It’s sad that this has happened at this point.”

Pauline shares the Coalcliff house with her partner, award-winning jewellery designer Roy Wilson. Both work from home studios and visitors are welcome to drop into the gallery.

n HOW TO HELP: Buy artwork on sale at Pd Gallery Roy Jewellery in Coalcliff, open 9am-4pm most days. Or call Pauline Denney on 4294 2011.

True Romance

cover feature

Prepare to be swept away! Our region is home to many breathtakingly beautiful wedding locations. 2515 asked award-winning local photographer Anna Blackman to name her favourites.

Over the past three decades, photographer Anna Blackman has shot more than 1000 weddings – but they still have the power to make her cry.

“To see that bride walk down the aisle and this giant six-foot-four cobber burst into tears – that is just a wonderful experience, to see that love.

“Every weekend, after all the horrible things you see on Facebook, to have it confirmed that there is love, and it’s all going to be OK …

“I’m getting goose bumps talking about it, I’m such a sook,” she says, laughing.

Originally from Sydney, Anna made the sea change to the South Coast 20 years ago.

“I live at Coledale. It’s just a beautiful area.”

She has diplomas in interior design and fine art but taught herself photography. Very successfully too: Anna’s a former president of the Australian Institute of Professional Photography and has won the institute’s “master of photography” award three times. In fact, an entire wall at her Thirroul studio is covered with awards.

“There are more, but I ran out of wall,” she says.

“I just kept going, because it’s so much fun. I’m passionate about photography, and I love people.”

Of wedding photography, Anna says: “You have to have an eye for it, and you have to like people.

“It can be stressful, but not all stress is bad.

When you are stressed about something, it’s because you care about it, and then when you actually do a great job, it’s so rewarding.

“I love the fact that I’m invited into people’s lives.”

It may be the age of the iPhone and the selfie stick, but people still value professional wedding photography, Anna believes.

“Business is still good. A large proportion of people don’t want to take chances with something so important. And you also don’t want someone you love having to take the photos instead of enjoying themselves at the wedding.”

Anna generously shared some her favourite local wedding destinations with 2515.

The Beach Anna says: Tuckerman reserve at Little Austinmer is a lovely place to get married.

The grass is right next to the beach. You can go down to the rock platform, it’s fantastic for photos, even at high tide you can still get to it and it’s safe.

The details: Call Council (4227 7111) to book Tuckerman Park. Anna recommends receptions at Austi Surf Club (austinmersurfclub.com.au).

The Garden Anna says: The Rhododendron Gardens are a little Wollongong secret. It’s up Mt Ousley, hidden away. It’s got a duck pond with a little pergola, Japanese style, it’s like a mini Botanic Gardens. Just beautiful. I got married there.

The details: Illawarra Rhododendron Gardens (Parrish Avenue, Mt Pleasant) are open weekends and public holidays, 9am to 6pm in summer, 5pm in winter. It is $200 to book a ceremony spot, $100 to reserve the shelter shed and $50 for photos only. To book, call Vi Worth on 4284 8041.

The Surf Club Anna says: Sandon Point is beautiful. You can go down a little secret pathway to where the boat sheds are, it’s north-facing, so you don’t have to worry about the wind. Sandon Point Surf Club is a great little place for receptions.

The details: Hall hire at the surf club is $1000, plus a $500 bar minimum. To book, call Michelle Hamill on 0448 899 566.

The Georgian Manor House Anna says: Ravensthorpe is a big mansion with a tennis court and a pool, on an acreage.

The house is beautiful, with wrap-around verandahs. They’ve done the gardens amazingly, so there’s different spots for photos – lines of trees, a big old gate, a field next door. People want to be photographed with grass up to their knees and late afternoon sun. That’s my No. 1 place in the Illawarra for a wedding and reception.

The details: Ravensthorpe is at 56 Tongarra Road, Albion Park (4257 6096).

The Escarpment Anna says: Panorama House has been around for a long time; it’s got a nice little pergola and a fantastic view. Altitude 1148 has got an amazing deck. It’s a more modern space; it doesn’t have a ‘feel’, so you create your own. Then you’ve got five-star dining at Tumbling Waters (pictured). It is exclusive and beautiful. Sublime Point is a bit more “country”, it has a nice quirky feel. To get married with a view, make an appointment with all of those. One will be your fit as they are all quite different.

The details: From Stanwell Tops south to Bulli Tops, the venues are: Tumbling Waters (4294 1888); Sublime Point (4267 5443); Panorama House (4268 3388) and Altitude 1148 (4267 5443).

The Church Anna says: There is a beautiful little church at Bulli, on the corner of Point Street. It has very old sandstone and lovely stained-glass windows. It’s romantic. And the pastor [Rev. Steve Parker] is really nice. Even though it’s a Uniting church, anyone’s welcome to get married there.

The details: Northern Illawarra Uniting Church weddings are $1100 (includes flowers, organist, minister’s fee and more, call 4268 2111). Built in 1865, the historic church seats 130 + 20 standing.

7

The Park Anna says: Austinmer’s Glastonbury Gardens is really pretty. There is a giant, old fig tree you can get married under. I’ve seen people hang all different messages from the tree, hearts and lanterns, streamers, you can really dress it up and make it look great. Only problem is parking, it’s on the street, so I wouldn’t do it in peak summer.

The details: Call Council on 4227 7111 to book a park spot. Foreshore reserves (eg, Stuart Park) and Wollongong Botanic Garden are also popular. 2515

Pick of the Flicks Looking for an affordable, no-fuss Valentine’s Day option? Why not grab a meal from your favourite local takeaway, then add a bottle of wine, a bunch of flowers and a romantic movie, suggests local children’s author Sandy Fussell.

Leading Edge Video in Thirroul is a family business managed by Ben Wallace. Ben has been recommending videos for more than 20 years and I can vouch that he knows what he’s talking about.

While I was in the store he fielded three phone calls for three very different movies without needing to look any of them up in the movie database.

The store has a large selection of art house and foreign films and Ben believes this will help the business survive changes to viewing habits as a result of movie-streaming channels like Netflix.

“We’re like a library. We have discontinued and hard-to-find movies,” Ben said.

When I asked him if anything strange ever happened in the store, he laughed and pointed to a pole in the middle of the room.

“There was a time when everyone ran into it.

They’d step back from the counter and turn straight into it.” He shook his head, bemused. “We had to put a chip stand in front of it.” Fortunately, no-one bumps into the pole anymore. 2515

Diamonds always look better in white gold, and other tips from a master jeweller.

“Jewellery reflects the personality of the person,” says local master jeweller John Powell.

“If someone’s looking for a piece of jewellery, you start with the stones they like,” he says.

“Whether they be coloured or whether it be a diamond, depending on the ring they want … say a dress ring, they want sapphires, rubies or emeralds.

“Select the stones and the shapes they want and then the style is personal with the ideas they have and you design something for what they want.

What the ring is for should also be considered.

“Are they going to wear it all the time? Which is not recommended because it wears … it’s like tyres on a car,” John says.

Think about the colours of the gold you want.

“Whether it be two-tone, whether it be rose gold, yellow gold, white gold, whatever.

“The trends of probably this day and age are more for white gold, than yellow … diamonds

always look better in white.”

John says ring buyers should do their research and put ample thought into the process. “There’s so much garbage out there, but if I make a piece of jewellery it’s there for the next generation.”

Buyers should seek out the experts, he says.

“Ask them what their qualifications are.”

And buyers should stay involved in the process.

“If you go and have a dress made; you don’t just pick a size, then go and pick it up … you have a couple of fittings to get the dress right and jewellery’s the same.”

John reckons setting a budget is crucial.

“You might go $200 over, you might go $200 under but have something to work on.

“Get your ideas of design … set yourself a budget, pick your stones and then talk to a jeweller who knows what they’re doing.”

Garden sense

Choose the right plants and you can create a spectacular sensory garden, writes Narelle Happ.

Plants are great to look at – and to taste – but they can also stimulate your sense of smell, touch and even sound in the garden.

When creating a new garden or revamping an established garden, take some time to think about how you use the outdoor space.

Pathways that are high-traffic areas can be used to establish plants that please all the senses.

Plants that are going to be brushed past will emit fragrance and can heighten the senses.

At foot level, plants such as mint, thyme, basil, oregano, lemon balm and chives will all emit fragrance when brushed or even lightly trodden on.

Shrubs that emit fragrance can be edible or ornamental. Place them in an area that receives a breeze and the wind may carry the fragrance across the garden and even into the home or surrounding buildings. Edible shrubs, such as rosemary, will certainly carry a strong fragrance.

The native Prostanthera spp. Mint Bush has a beautiful scent that smells remarkable carried on a breeze.

Touch can also be used in the garden. Both edible and ornamental plants can be used, for example, near seats or entry ways. A very tactile plant like the native Adenanthos sericeus, Woolly bush, will have people coming back again and again to touch its soft foliage. It’s a great plant for an entry way or near your front door and grows just as happily in one spot as in the garden.

GROW A TREE, MAKE TEA If you have room for trees, or very large pots, then plants such as the native Backhousia citriodora with its lemon-flavoured leaves would be a great addition to the sensory garden.

Used as a bushtucker food, the leaves can be dried and crushed to use in savoury dishes or used fresh to make lemon myrtle tea. This tree can be grown in a pot, such as a half wine barrel, and kept quite small or left to grow to its full six-metre potential. Other trees, such as Port Wine Magnolias and Murraya, have very fragrant flowers and can be used as hedges in the garden, Other shrubs with perfume to consider are gardenias, lavender and roses. Small shrubs/ groundcovers such as lamb’s ears and peppermint geraniums are also perfumed. Flowers on kangaroo paws are both fragrant and have a felt-like texture.

The variety of taste, touch and smell that can be brought into the garden is exciting and can so easily be part of any garden. Go out in your garden today and open your senses – you may be surprised at how many plants you already have that are making it a sensory experience.

BRING ON THE BEES In the edible garden, plants such as Borage with its sandpapery leaves provide interesting texture.

When eaten, it tastes strange at first but as the

texture changes, it tastes very similar to cucumber.

This plant is also great for attracting bees – and their humming triggers the sense of sound.

Nasturtiums with their waxy leaves are also very touchy-feely and children will enjoy rolling water around the leaves as it beads on the surface.

Home alone

Here’s how to deal with your dog’s separation anxiety, writes Philip Comans.

Our loved pups often don’t cope with being left alone at home. The result may be barking, destructive digging, chewing and weeing (or worse) indoors. It’s up to us to teach them how to be alone and calm. Here are 7 tips: 1. Practise separation while home. Don’t allow your dog to be with you all the time at home. Get him used to being alone.

2. Don’t make a fuss when leaving or arriving back. It’s best to slip away quietly, and ignore your overexcited dog when you get home.

3. Leave him with plenty of toys to keep him occupied.

4. Start this training early on, before a problem arises.

5. Consider a natural diet as this often helps.

6. Ensure he gets plenty of exercise and training as a well-educated dog is better able to cope with being left alone.

7. Getting a second dog is not an easy solution! It can just double the problem. 2515 Philip Comans is a dog behavioural therapist and trainer with Bark Busters.

Foragers grows

Foragers Market Bulli is going from strength to strength.

From little things, big things grow. 2515 reports.

Thirroul’s Kirrily Sinclair has to be one of the hardest-working business owners in the Illawarra.

She single-handedly kicked off the Foragers Market Bulli phenomenon in 2014 – “just me on the laptop at home with my four-year-old” – and has now expanded the weekly “all-weather indoor and outdoor farmer’s market” concept to her old stomping ground, Canberra. Thankfully, she now has two full-time staff to help her make her ambitious dreams a fun reality.

Kirrily is also planning to introduce her other popular event, Eat Street, regularly staged in Wollongong’s Crown Street, to Bulli on February 1 – and perhaps elsewhere in the not-too-distant future.

Festivals are also in her sights; last year, the Foragers crew tackled the Fairgrounds Festival in Berry and the Yours and Owls Music & Arts Festival in Wollongong.

2515 recently had coffee with Kirrily.

What’s planned for the next six to 12 months?

This year we’re starting a Saturday night, once-amonth Eat Street at Bulli … so that’ll have a strong live music focus and it’ll be like Eat Street [in Wollongong]: wonderful street food. It’s a big open space so at night it looks fantastic.

We’re working with Damien Stirling with the music – he’s great, he’s been with us from day one.

What can people expect at Eat Street Bulli?

International foods … just about everything you could possibly want: from pulled pork to dumplings and tacos and gnocchi … the Berlin Bangers will be there. We are going to put together an open-air cinema, just a low-key … nice, cosy outdoor thing and that will raise funds for charity.

It’s an all-encapsulating experience, with food and creativity and music…

I look at a space and look at how I can make it inviting for people and create a full experience.

We’ll run Eat Street and the music and there’s a community space; we’re inviting local schools and charities to put on events within our event.

Are you mindful of people getting market burn-out?

Definitely. We are always mindful that if we focus on something then … we try to back away and regroup and come up with something completely new. You have to come with a fresh idea and … we’re not short of ideas, it’s just getting them to not be too crazy.

So, 2016 is all very exciting for Foragers?

It is; it’s exhausting [laughs]. For me, it’s about the creativity; I love to create something out of nothing, I love that. n Foragers Market Bulli is held every Sunday.

Dr Rip’s Science of the Surf

By Dr Rob Brander

For several reasons, I was disheartened last month to hear of the injuries that occurred at the Figure 8 pools in the Royal National Park due to a “freak wave”.

First, I couldn’t believe the crowds that were there. It used to be a lovely, quiet spot, but thanks to social media, this is no more. Second, most of the people now visiting in droves have little idea of the risks of rock platforms. Finally, the misreporting of a “freak” wave that knocked people over is rubbish and sends out dangerous messages.

Our section of coast is characterised by many rock platforms, which are rock substrates left behind from eroding sandstone cliffs. The reason most tend to be flat is due to something called the “level of saturation”. Waves breaking against them might look impressive and destructive, but the main process that causes cliff erosion is the salt spray that corrodes the bonds in the sandstone rocks. Salt water corrosion is accelerated by wet

and dry cycles, but below the “level of saturation” everything is pretty much wet most of the time and erosion is minimal. That’s why rock platforms are left behind – they are almost always wet.

The reason they are wet is that they stick out into the ocean and are exposed to greater wave energy and wave overtopping. During high tides, they can be completely inundated. The boundary between the rock platform and the ocean often involves a sheer and deep drop-off. Large waves bounce, or reflect off this, creating very turbulent and unpredictable wave conditions. They also have slippery and uneven surfaces. Put all this together and they are not good places for people to be, particularly during large wave conditions. It’s no real surprise then that rock fishing is considered Australia’s most deadliest sport.

But people ambling around rock platforms unaware of all these dangers are also risking their lives. Waves travel in groups (sets) of three to 10 bigger waves. When we experience a groundswell (large clean waves with long time periods between waves) there may be a lull in the waves lasting for 20 minutes or so and things may appear safe, but when a group comes in, spectacular wave crashing and overtopping may occur.

There is no such thing as a freak wave. The incidents at the Figure 8 pools were either caused by wave groups (sets) or constructive wave interference when several waves combine together.

Those people should never have been on the platform under those conditions and reporting it as a “freak” wave may lead people to think that the wild overtopping waves were a rare occurrence.

They’re not. And rocks are very unforgiving. 2515

Visit www.scienceofthesurf.com.

Local secret turned social media sensation … more than 100 people were injured when a big wave hit the Figure 8 rock platform on January 11.

King tides are totally predictable. Turn to our Tide Chart on page 50 for this month’s highs and lows.

Don’t be shy guys Radio Doctor staff have been providing Illawarra residents with after-hours home-visit medical care for more than 40 years. Now they’re launching a new ad campaign aimed at men. 2515 reports.

Radio Doctor Illawarra (RDI), started in 1974 after six local GPs decided to be pro-active in their patients’ after-hours care. RDI now has more than 140 doctors who provide after-hours healthcare every night, from Scarborough to Gerroa.

RDI is a not-for-profit co-operative owned by its members, who are local GPs. All calls are taken by RDI’s central Wollongong call centre.

High-quality after-hours home-visit healthcare needn’t cost a fortune, which is the message RDI is trying to get across to men who may baulk at the idea of calling a doctor out of hours because of an anticipated high cost. (RDI patients with a Medicare card are bulk-billed.)

2515 had a chat with RDI general manager Frank Wallner about the new ad campaign to encourage more men to visit their doctor.

Is this a real problem – men avoiding doctors?

There is evidence that men attend doctors less.

Men will tend to wait, so if they notice something, they take a long time before they see a doctor and … if someone presents late with something that’s actually quite serious it can mean that treatment can be much more difficult and also less effective.

That’s really one adjunct we provide to a person’s normal GP; you might notice something on Friday night at 10pm and you can at least have it looked at, assessed [by RDI staff] … and some advice provided about what you should do.

Also, through our call centre when people ring in, if it’s something very serious, such as potential heart attack, then they’ll immediately be referred to call an ambulance or go to the emergency department. Sometimes people need that prompt.

We work closely with the patient’s own GP … we’re actually a Medical Deputising Service; GPs join our organisation and allow us to provide their patients with medical services when they’re not working. It works very well and it’s worked that way for 40 years. 2515

Real food with Steph This Valentine’s Day, Stephanie Meades will be whipping up healthy and delicious strawberry treats.

These strawberry cups are a homemade, whole-food treat, sure to make your special someone feel loved up. No partner in your life? Make these little cups for yourself as a little act of self-love for Valentine’s Day. Who said you can’t dedicate the day to loving yourself as well as others?

STRAWBERRY SWEETHEART CHEESECAKES Ingredients Base: 1 cup almond meal (or 1 cup almonds, grind yourself) ½ cup fine desiccated coconut 6 plump medjool dates (pitted) Strawberry Layer: 1 punnet of strawberries 1 cup cashews & walnuts – or macadamias ½ cup melted coconut oil 1 tbsp maple syrup 1 tsp sea salt Chocolate Layer: Melt 80 percent dark chocolate, or make your own homemade ‘dairy free’ chocolate layer by mixing equal parts melted coconut oil and raw cacao and adding some maple syrup or honey to taste.

METHOD:

Place almond meal, coconut and dates in a food processor. Blend until well combined, resembling a fine crumb mixture. Add coconut oil and vanilla; blend again. The mixture should hold together when pressed between your fingers. If it appears too dry, add another 1-2 dates until you get the right consistency.

Place a spoonful of the nutty base into silicon mini muffin mould and press down firmly to form a flat disc on the base. Place in freezer to firm up.

Tip: Because the base is ‘raw’ it will not harden as baked bases do. That is why we put it in the

Sweets for your sweet … Steph’s strawberry cups.

freezer to firm up, so this step is crucial.

Next, make the strawberry filling.

Blitz strawberries in blender or food processor, making sure there are no lumps. Add vanilla seeds (or extract) and maple syrup to strawberry liquid and whizz until well combined.

Soak nuts in water for at least 15 minutes, then rinse. Place nuts in blender or food processor along with the strawberry mix. Add coconut oil and dash of sea salt to balance the sweetness.

Blend on highest speed possible for a short time until everything is well combined and the batter is nice and smooth. If the mixture appears too clumpy, add a little more coconut oil (or a dash of lime juice).

Spoon strawberry filling on top of the hardened bases. Pop any mixture leftover into a pretty glass, top with crushed nuts and shredded coconut for a little “deconstructed” strawberry cheesecake as a treat for yourself.

Pop the strawberry cups and your treat into the fridge to firm up.

Pour chocolate over hardened strawberry mixture and top with your favourite decorative toppings (think flaked toasted coconut, hazelnuts, pecan halves or even more fresh berries for a burst of colour). Place in freezer to set for a few hours.

When ready to eat, remove from freezer and pop out of silicon mould.

Let sit for 5 minutes to soften slightly.

Eat and enjoy, lovers! n For more whole-food inspired recipes, visit realfoodbites.wordpress.com. Stephanie runs monthly Wholefood Workshops at the Co-op in Thirroul. Visit www.lifewellnessco.com 2515

Girls bond at summer camp Our local refugee aid organisation, Strategic Community Assistance to Refugee Families (SCARF), has had a busy start to 2016, CEO Sherryl Reddy and the team report.

Our annual girls summer camp took place from January 8-11, attended by 23 girls, aged 12 to 24 years, from nine different countries of origin.

The camp was held in the Blue Mountains where the girls gained new friendships and confidence as they participated in activities ranging from personal development and goal-setting workshops to initiative games, organising their own talent show, and enjoying the hair-raising adventure rides of Scenic World!

Sincere thanks to SCARF volunteer coordinators and facilitators – Sam, Keesha, Najla, Natasha, Maaike, Sharyn and STARTTS counsellor Amy – for their positive leadership, energy and support.

February will be a month of challenge and change as SCARF founder and manager for the past 10 years – the inimitable Sharyn Mackenzie – retires from SCARF operational management.

It’s the end of an era for SCARF and the beginning of a new chapter. We are working to sustain SCARF through these changes, building a team of staff and volunteers to support coordination of SCARF’s programs and services into the future.

Thankfully, Sharyn will still be involved with SCARF as an ambassador, advisor, family mentor and friend to all through this wonderful community asset that is SCARF. Visit www.scarf1.org.au or phone 4224 8646. 2515

A Helping Hand Big thanks for the donations of food, clothing and hygiene products – from all at our local not-for-profit, Thirroul Neighbourhood Centre (TNC).

The festive season was one of the hardest for many families, so it was a privilege to see what the community can pull together. We were able to give away hampers and fresh foods, as well as our usual array of Community Pantry items.

TNC coordinator Emily Messieh is on maternity leave, so co-coordinators Ana Serrano-Watson and Scarlet Charlton will share the role. Ana will oversee the Neighbourhood Centre, while Scarlet will focus on the Youth Project. Both will be available on Wednesdays and Fridays. This month we’ll have wonderful activities for young people. We’ll also be marking Random Acts of Kindness Day and World Day for Social Justice. Visit thirroulnc.org. 2515

Time to stitch

Patricia Johnstone worked in general rehabilitation and brain injury rehabilitation within the occupational health sector in hospitals for many years before retiring to the Illawarra.

Now she is free to focus on the enchanting art of embroidery. Janice Creenaune reports.

At 74, Patricia Johnstone has long held a delicate sewing needle in her hand to perfect the art of embroidery. She learned the basics many years ago at an adult night class she attended with a friend.

“We both still regularly practise our craft but in vastly different ways, interestingly. Same teacher, different outcomes, but we both agree that we hope the beautiful art will not be lost to future generations,” Patricia says.

“My work is original and most often completed freehand on squares of wool, often wool blankets,” Patricia says. “ I generally use a special pen for my designs and then damp off later. The method is loose held, rather than with any hoop, of traditional needlecraft work, but I do use traditional cottons.

Then I mix it with more contemporary options.

“Along with the traditional, I also use metallic thread of gold and silver for effect, or beads or even silk ribbons. It’s all about the effect needed.”

A few years ago, Pat enjoyed teaching a small group during a short course run over about 10 weeks. It was part of the Northern Illawarra University of the 3rd Age (NIU3A) program.

“We all really enjoyed ourselves,” she says. “But my personal inspiration is a little different.

“I am inspired by trees. All different types of trees: the movement, the shape, the light through them, the colours. For some reason, it is always trees I find fascinating. My embroidery evolves from that more often than not. I love admiring the escarpment and there is often a Brigadoon type

mist that I find enchanting.”

Patricia takes at least half a day just to create on paper her intricate designs. She finds the whole process fascinating. Design and craftsmanship are important. With good light, she just keeps going.

“I have no trouble letting go of an item. But I do try to ensure the finished product is going to a good home and to those who will look after it properly. No washing machines or dryers. They just shrink the cottons and destroy longevity.”

Patricia is also a deft hand at knitting. She learned from an aunty and completed her first cardigan by age 10.

She has continued to knit all her life. Blankets, jumpers, cardigans, tea cosies, toys, (even Big Ted of Play School fame.)

“I feel it is good for my brain. It keeps me active, counting, alert to patterns and intricate designs.

Ultimately, it just keeps me going. And when I was younger it was just second nature to me. I could knit, watch TV and read all at the same time. I don’t know how, but I could.”

Patricia has entered shows and competitions and won many prizes for her efforts. “It is not that which keeps me creating though, I just love it and if somebody else gets enjoyment from my work when it is finished then … fine,” Patricia says.

Patricia is a member of NIU3A, which holds talks each Wednesday in the Excelsior Room of Thirroul Library from 9.30am-noon. For more information on NIU3A activities, please contact janicecreenaune@gmail.com 2515
