Kiama SES win national title It’s official. Our SES rescue unit has been recognized as the best in the country following its win at the 2015 national titles. The competition was held at a number of locations across the Canberra, including an island in Lake Burley Griffin and the ACT Emergency Service Agency Training Centre. The team competed in seven challenging stormrelated scenarios, including people trapped inside a collapsed building, a search for missing persons, a casualty with a leg impalement and a seven storey tower with numerous casualties requiring rescue. The Kiama unit last entered the competition in 2011, when they came second at the national level. This year, the team won four out of the seven challenges, giving them overall first place, and Team Leader Warren Turner received the
Best Team Leader award and team medic Anna Habeck received Best First Aid award. The other members of the team were Chris Warren, Simon Ross, Rob McDonald and Dan Vrckoski. “I'm very proud of our team,” says Local Controller Warren Turner. “It’s a fantastic effort for a town like Kiama to represent NSW at the national level. “While we are very proud to become national champions, the hard work and training have improved the capabilities and experience of our rescue operators so we can better help the Kiama community.” The Kiama Unit is fortunate to have enough trained rescue operators to continue to have a rescue service on standby while the team and supporters were competing. Mayor Brian Petschler, who witnessed the professionalism of the team when

visiting the unit during the recent flooding rain, isn’t surprised by the win given the highly trained and efficient way they went about their work. “Their dedication and commitment is of enormous benefit to our community.”

Lions looking for extra helpers to support Relay for Lifers
Relay for Life’s Mila Irving and Sue Wiecek with Lions Wendi Scifleet and Phyl Willetts
The postponement of this year’s Relay for Life to 24-25 October, made because of atrocious weather earlier in the year, has caused a clash of commitments for other service clubs which usually help, leaving Kiama Lions Club looking for more hands. The service clubs traditionally run a joint canteen for the event, as a fundraiser for the Cancer Council but also as a way of keeping up the strength and morale of the relayers. “We really need a few more people to join our roster to help serve the food in the canteen and the caravan,” says Lion Wendi Scifleet. “No experience necessary, just commonsense and a willingness to work.” She believes it will be a great opportunity for people to see what Lions is all about, meet some new people and have some fun. To help, contact Phyl for more details on 0428 241 435.

Change of speaker for Spirituality in the Pub There has been a late change of speaker for the next Spirituality in the Pub meeting. Unfortunately, Dr Elizabeth Farrelly is unable to come, and the replacement speaker is Father Edmund Campion. A well-known retired Sydney priest, writer, editor, literary judge and academic, Champion has spoken at Jamberoo twice before. He has summed up his general approach to life with the words: “Religion doesn’t happen in the head, it’s much more of a whole experience. It’s a poem, not a philosophy text.” His topic on this occasion is Sipping from the Cup of Justice.

We are excited to announce Burnetts On Barney, your local Landscape and Garden Centre, is now bringing healthy veggie seedlings, heirloom seeds, organic gardening additives and loads of flowering colour to the weekly Wednesday Kiama Farmers’ Market.
Masons open their doors For those of you who have always wondered about what goes on inside their buildings in Collins St, the Freemasons of Kiama are holding an Open Day. The present heritage lodge building dates from 1876 and is one of the oldest buildings in Kiama. The members will be conducting guided tours to explain both the history and the meaning of various traditions. With original architecture and tracing boards dating back to 1826, the building will be well worth a visit by history buffs. The first lodge was formed by Dr Tarrant in 1871 at the old Court House in Terralong Street. In conjunction with the Open Day, the Masons will also have a marquee at the Romans Hot Rod Show and Shine (see right) to promote their work and traditions.

Help find a home for Making Waves
World’s top kneeboarders come to test our waves One hundred and fifteen competitors have entered in the week long World Kneeboard Championships, to be held on our beaches over the next week. The field include teams from New Zealand, USA, Tahiti, France, Brazil, South Africa, Japan, England and Ireland, along with competitors from Queenland, NSW, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia. Every Open World Champion since 1982 will be in attendance, along with all of the top kneeboarding talent from around the world. The surfing gets underway on Monday 14 Sept, with the first of the Open heats. The organisers extend an invitation to everyone to attend the opening ceremony, and welcome to country, along with the traditional mixing of the water, which is being held at the Kiama Pavilion on the Sunday before at 4pm. It’s an opportunity meet the visitors, and welcome them to Kiama. The World Titles are fully sanctioned by the International Surfing Association (ISA) and as such, are recognised by the IOC. Every Open World Champion since 1982 will be in attendance. The location of each day’s surfing will be dependent on conditions.
Reilly to have a tilt at mayor Neil Reilly has thrown his hat in the ring for the mayoral election, to be held at the 15 September Council meeting. He will run against the incumbent mayor Brian Petschler who has been in the role for three years. Councillor Reilly sees it as an opportunity for generational change before next year’s election, at a time when many of the Council’ senior managers are approaching retirement. He is championing greater openness. Mayor Petschler says that at this stage he is planning to run for election next year, “I still have a lot to give.”
Earlier this year, Council moved fast to take up the opportunity to purchase a work by the late Bert Flugelman, one of Australia's most celebrated public sculptors. It wanted to commemorate the connection he had with our area, as he lived for many years on Jamberoo Mountain, regularly swimming at Kiama beaches at a time when he was named as one of our One Hundred Living National Treasures. The purchased sculpture Making Waves is approximately 2.5m high and 2m wide, with a ‘scratched’, highly polished stainless steel finish representing the waves and action of the sea environment. Community feedback is now being sought on the best location for the work. Four sites are currently being considered: the western entrance to the Harbour foreshore (in the triangular island between the paths), further along the foreshore (where the market usually end - shown left), at the entrance to Blowhole Point, and near Storm Bay. The online survey shows the sculpture in position at the various location to aid consideration. Details: You can have your say by completing the online submission at: https://www.swiftsay.com/run/index/150 Closing date Friday 25 September
Chefs worth a drive It’s been a long time since a dining establishment in Kiama had a Chefs Hat, but now there are two South Coast restaurants with the coveted award within an easy drive. Berry’s South on Albany has received its first Chefs Hat, joining Wollongong’s long time holder Caveau in being recognized for excellence in this year’s Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide. South on Albany’s Chef John Evans and wife Sonia Greig have long been champions of local food, with John playing a key role in the South Coast winning the CRAVE 100 Mile Challenge competition in 2011. Prior to moving to the South Coast, John worked at a number of Sydney’s leading restaurants before establishing an award winning restaurant at the 3 Weeds Hotel in Rozelle. South on Albany opened in 2013. Peter Sheppard’s Caveau has been awarded a hat by the Good Food Guide every year since 2005. Caveau uses organic and locally sourced produce, and is a champion of nose to tail cooking.

Getting to the hospital by bus At the July meeting of the Minnamurra Progress Association, the issue of the 71 Bus route from Kiama to Shellharbour Shopping Centre was raised. One member asked why the route could not continue to Shellharbour Hospital and save visitors using public transport an extra trip by taxi at a further cost of $10 each way. After extensive enquiries with Premier Buses and the Department of Transport in Wollongong, the Association has been told the existing timetable is arranged so that after a short wait at the terminating bus stop, a connecting bus (#51) travels to the Hospital. The morning trips are the best for visiting hours at the Hospital. As regular visitors to the hospital were unaware of this service the Association is keen to spread the word. Details: The next meeting of the Minnamurra Progress Association will be at 7.30 on 6 October 2015 at the CWA hall at Charles Ave, Minnamurra.

Her ‘bones’ are made of wire and paper mache, and her ‘flesh’ is made of plaster and sisal. Daisy is all ready to go She doesn’t need to go far - just from the Old Fire Station to Mark St, Kiama, but she can’t make it on her own.

Folk by the Sea hits its stride
U3A preparing for its final term of the year U3A’s Term 4 is on the horizon, with a schedule of engaging classes and talks organised. The classes offer everything from Tai Chi and Armchair Theatre to Hindi for Beginner.
The third Folk by the Sea Festival is being hailed as a great success, with a sell-out of tickets and a wide variety of folk genres attracting new followers. Interest in Dead Men Talking, which brought together the ghosts of Banjo Patterson and Henry Lawson (Max Cullen and Warren Fahey) was so great the performance had to be moved to The Pavilion’s main auditorium. Reviews have been excellent. Christine Anu’s performance was also a standout. The volunteers of the Illawarra Folk Club are now moving on to preparations for the January Illawarra Folk Festival.
DA lodged for hospital redevelopment Kiama Council has lodged its DA for the redevelopment of the Kiama Hospital site, an issue covered extensively in previous editions of The Bugle. The DA is now on public exhibition at the Council’s offices, Kiama Library, the Joyce Wheatley Community Centre, North Kiama Neighbourhood Centre and Gerringong Town Hall, as well as on-line. Submissions can be made until 4pm on 25 September, after which the proposal will be considered for approval by the Joint Regional Planning Panel.

Putting the focus on animals
Holidaying in Coolangatta might seem an odd thing to do when you live in Kiama, but it provided a convenient meeting point for a large family celebration. The apartment was right on Kirra Point, and the sets kept rolling in. While Coolangatta was the place to be in the Forties and Fifties, it has long since been overtaken by the ‘real’ (unreal?) Gold Coast, which can be dimly seen on the horizon by day and beckons by night. While some development has happened around here, until now the shopping strip has remained as if in a time capsule from fifty years ago. Lots of two storey arcades with balconies, great terrazzo tiles, original neon signs and pubs with big verandahs. It’s the sort of place where men wear long socks with their shorts as business wear. Rather than daggy, I found the atmosphere instantly relaxing, and rushed out to buy a ticket in the Golden Casket.
The beachfront reserve was heavily used by locals - from runners and cyclers to the spectacular by puzzling nightly arrival of firestick jugglers and drummers. But there are signs that rather than being classified by the National Trust, this little reminder of simpler times gone by will soon be gone. Already an enormous shopping centre, with cinemas, pretend artisan bread and chain coffee shops, beneath a tower of apartment, has been built on the waterfront. Ominously, for the developer to make money on it (it was pretty empty when we were there), they will have to bring into the area people who just don’t get the essence of Coolangatta as it is. People who prefer the bland to the quirky, the glitz to the old school. My advice, get up there quick. And let’s hope Kiama doesn’t go the same way.
Just to give you the heads up while you are out and about with your camera as Spring emerges, Kiama Library is holding an Amazing Animals Photographic Competition. It’s open to all animal lovers, and entry is free. To give you inspiration, here is a shot by professional photographer Peter Izzard, who has recently branched out into pet photography. “Our animals are part of our families,” he says. “I love it when someone says I have captured their spirit.” The competition closes at 2pm on Saturday 7 November. Drop into the Library for an entry form, or get one from their website, which has all the details. The photos will go on display in the Library from 24 November, after being judged by local photography enthusiast Darcy Moore and Kiama Council. Prizes are being provided by Friends of Kiama Library.
