Kiama High celebrates NAIDOC Week Kiama High is commemorating this year’s NAIDOC with a day of performances and activities designed to foster pride in, and understanding of, aboriginal culture and heritage. A highlight is the completion of a new Dreaming Garden which has been placed at the heart of the School’s formal entrance area. Edible bush food from the region has been planted around the Rainbow Serpent. The NAIDOC Celebration Day on Friday 17 July has been designed to be the culmination of a whole week of aboriginal perJohn Salmon with Mikayla Ayres, Iesha Keys, Zahli Howard and Kellie Evans
spectives being incorporated into teaching. The School’s new Aboriginal Education Worker, Kellie Evans, has had great support for her initiatives from the Acting Principal, John Salmon. “I have a very strong belief in the importance of supporting our indigenous students and giving all of our students an understanding of aboriginal culture and values,” he said. Kellie believes deeply in working to change people’s negative stereotypes. “By sharing our culture we can make our students proud of their heritage,” she says. The wider community was invited to be involved in the day.
Pop-up offers all week, all weather market A building in Collins St that has lain vacant for five years is springing back to life as a home for emerging retailers. “We are a co-operative supporting small businesses to transition into a shop environment without the costs and commitment a retail store requires,” says Emily Gough. “Our goal is to help them develop their businesses by giving them a permanent space rather than relying on markets.” Emily Gough is excited by the interest that is being shown in the pop-up emporium With Di McQuade, she has rented the building, which will ultiand fashion to lighting and vinyl artists have indicated their willingness mately be developed, for an initial records. “There will be a good range to be involved, but they are still looknine months.

How much ‘stuff’ do we need? Gloria’s Handbag is a modern magical mystery, with music from The Magic Flute. Reviews say it is ‘funny, poignant and thought-provoking’. Helen has worked in the theatre for 40 years in the UK, New Zealand and Australia with extensive film and television credits to her name.

Rescission motion withdrawn
With the Kiama Jazz & Blues Club’s annual dance night less than a month away, people are surveying their wardrobes to see how they can pull an outfit together with Forties’ flair. Deb Langton, Meagan Smillie and Michelle Morrisby spent a rainy afternoon doing just that, with stunning results thanks to styling by Meryll Faulkner. Only Captain Mainwaring’s outfit was hired (Neville Conder). This year’s Victory Dance theme pays tribute to the men and women of wartime and the music to which they loved to dance. The Navy’s 18 piece Admiral’s Own Big Band will be playing all the classics from the era. You’ve plenty of time to organise your attire, anything from an officer to a nurse to the Andrew Sisters, but first book your tickets as they are selling fast. A portion of proceeds from the night will be donated to Defence Care. Details: Sat 15 August, 7pm, The Pavilion Kiama. $45 or $40 for Club members. BYO drinks and rations, on tables of eight.

Young artists shine Supported by a Kiama Cultural Arts Grant, local artists Penny Sadubin and Tim Rushby-Smith ran Land Art workshops for high school aged students from the local area over the holidays. Working on Werri Beach and the surrounding area, the participants explored the idea of making temporary ‘ephemeral art’. During the three day workshop the artists, who moved to Gerringong from London in 2013, helped participants explore the themes of Sand & Body, Collections, and Messages. The young artists worked on their own pieces and collaborated on collective work. View a video pulling together footage from each day at: werribeachart.wordpress.com/2015/07/13/video-now-live
Legal advice sought by Council is to the effect that it would not be possible to take back the approval for Cedar Grove Stage II. While Councillor Neil Reilly begs to disagree, in the interests of moving forward he has withdrawn his rescission motion and submitted another motion. He wants Council to investigate and provide a means of achieving a western access to the development. “I simply don’t believe that one access is a safe option,” he says. “There are all sorts of ways that we could fund another access point.” The Council next meets on Tuesday 21 July.

Expert advice on preserving your family’s stories
Without wanting to ‘do a Bowral’ where so many places claim a connection with Don Bradman, the little blue house between Christchurch and the Brighton, slated for demolition, does have a connection with our celebrated son Orry-Kelly. While the house isn’t on the heritage list, it is the site of a house where OrryKelly grew up. His family lived there after the 1899 Terralong St fire destroyed his father’s shop (about where Laconia is now). His father operated his tailor business on the ground floor of a two storey building. According to Sue Eggins of the Kiama & District Historical Society, Orrey’s
How often does it happen that someone takes their stories, part of your family history, with them to their grave? While you might remember the main fact, the important details easily escape you or are remembered differently by others. Dr Rie Natalenko, author of The Family Memory Project, will be giving a talk at Kiama Library on how to gather, record and preserve family stories. The talk will cover questions and triggers that can be used to facilitate storytelling, coping with common objections people have to telling stories, approaches to recording stories and the best ways to store all your research. Dr Natalenko is an award winning screenwriter, novelist, poet and short filmmaker, and is passionate about the importance of family history. Details: Sat 8 August, Auditorium underneath Kiama Library, 2.30-4pm Tickets $5 each, all ages welcome.

autobiography describes his childhood and youth there in great detail. He lived there until he left in his late teens for the bright lights of Sydney and then Hollywood. With Women He’s Undressed now on general release, it is still not clear when a screening will happen locally. Talks with the distributor continue. If you can’t wait and want to go to Sydney to see it, the initial screenings are on at Palace Verona, Palace Norton Street, Hayden Orpheum Cinema Cremorne and Roseville Cinema. A DA has been lodged to demolish the little house to build a larger dwelling, to take advantage of the views.
Carol Jagger of Kiama sent in this picture of an amazing cloud event in early July. “I just had to pull over and take a picture,” she says. “It’s like someone falling from ‘heaven’ through the clouds if you use your imagination.” Or a hole in the ozone. Or a tornado forming… If you too are a fan of clouds, you might be interested in the Cloud Appreciation Society. The manifesto of this wonderfully quirky group says, amongst other things, ‘We pledge to fight ‘blue-sky thinking’ wherever we find it. Life would be dull if we had to look up at cloudless monotony day after day.’ www.cloudappreciationsociety.org or check out their facebook page.

New President for Kiama Lions
Meet Hilton Bloomfield, the new President of the Lions Club of Kiama. Although relatively new to Lions, having joined four years ago after moving down permanently, he has a wealth of strategic planning experience to bring to the organisation. After 35 years with the NAB group, his final role was General Manager of Custom Credit during the winding up of the company. He then went on to be Chief Executive of Scouting Australia NSW for eight years, before spending two years as the senior executive officer of the 22nd Asia Pacific Jamboree held at Cataract Scout Park in 2001. The event had a $6.5 million budget, and brought together 9500 teenagers from 20 countries with the help of 2500 volunteers. Hilton was responsible for the buildup and administration of the event, which made a small surplus.
He takes over the presidency from Peter Scifleet, who led the Club through a very successful year which saw it donate $55,000 to a total of 49 local recipients. Members also lent their physical support to almost thirty activities and events, including working bees, Relay for Life and setting up the Art Society’s annual show. Lions’ major fundraising events for the year continue were the Kiama Lions Race Day at Kembla Grange, the Trivia Night and BBQs at Kiama Seaside Markets. They also operate the Driver Reviver stop on the highway at Dunmore. Hilton recently facilitated a Members Ideas Forum which identified many potential initiatives. The majority of these have been included in the Club’s program for coming year. “They are aimed at further improving members’ active participation, encouraging the entry of new members and further expanding our community service and youth development involvement,” he explains. In his term as President, Hilton is focussing on friendship and fun for the Club’s 67 members, effective fund raising, community service, local youth development support and lifting the local profile of the Lions Club of Kiama. He is looking forward to having a simple but effective approach to all that the Club undertakes through its members over the next year. The Club meets twice a month, with a dinner and guest speaker.
Jamberoo Rural Fire Brigade is to receive $5,000 toward the purchase of a new generator from the state government. The $5,000 grant will contribute toward the cost and installation of a permanent back-up generator at the Jamberoo Rural Fire Station and enhance the brigade’s capacity to respond to emergencies. The station’s existing generator can only power a few essential appliances during blackouts and not all the services in the station. “During times of local emergencies, such as strong winds and floods, Jamberoo Rural Fire Station is used as a local emergency control centre and it is critical they have the best resources available,” the NSW Minister for Emergency Services, David Elliott, said.
Details: Anyone interested in joining Lions can contact Hilton on 0413 834 248
Neighbourhood Watch gets green light As a result of a recent public meeting, it was decided to set up Neighbourhood Watch groups for Kiama and Kiama Downs. A small committee has been formed, under the leadership of Ann Millard, to organise how to best move forward. Monthly meetings need to be scheduled, venues and speakers booked, and a communications program devised. “While the police are there to provide advice, it is up to the community to implement their own Neighbourhood Watch program,” explains Ann. “We want to encourage people to get back to the spirit of working together to look after each other.” CRIME REPORTING She sees it very much as Dial 000 in an emergency a pro-active community For non-urgent matters engagement program rather call the Police Assistance than scare-mongering. “Together we can make line on 131444 Kiama a safer place to live Kiama Police 4232 1444 by just adopting a few Lake Illawarra Police simple practices and keep4232 5599 ing an eye out,” says Ann. “Once the word gets out that we have a strong Neighbourhood Watch mentality, the crime rates will drop.” The organisers are already using facebook to help people look out for each other and their property. A Kiama Community Neighbourhood Watch page has been set up so that people can share information about emergency warnings, traffic updates, extreme weather warnings, missing persons, suspicious activity, safety tips, general security and crime related posts in a timely fashion - facebook.com/groups/KiamaNHW Gerringong has long had Neighbourhood Watch. Details: The Committee welcomes more members to help the initiative gain momentum quickly. If you would like to be involved, but don’t have access to facebook, please contact Ann on 0411 843 774 to register your interest.

Postcard home You don't need me to tell you that in Paris, beauty is everywhere. It's in the city's DNA, and it doesn't hold back from reminding you so at every turn. As a makeup artist, Paris, being the fashion capital of the world, is like a dream. For 18 years now, I have loved and used French makeup Atelier Maquillage and so this trip I was lucky enough to visit the brand's headquarters, a pretty special moment for me. While there, I undertook a masterclass in fashion makeup and was very privileged to have runway makeup artist Yvette Yvette as my mentor - it was such a thrill to work with her, update my techniques and create new looks based on upcoming fashion and beauty trends. When in Paris, you must shop, of course! Lucky, I am staying very
near the gorgeous tree-framed Boulevard Haussmann, which is near the iconic, beautiful and very, tempting Galeries Lafayette. Which I had to visit, not only to shop, but to also have a delicious glass of their best champagne and gaze up to the majestic Chrysalides dome, which is over 100 years old. I am told this art deco building is the second biggest tourist attraction after the Eiffel Tower in Paris... I can see why, it is no doubt one of the most beautiful stores in the world. I have also fallen in love with the many little pâtisseries on every corner, where all of the best (and naughtiest) French pasties are baked. The windows and counters are a delicious haze of sugar, chocolate and crème marvels. With all of my senses overflowing from so much beauty, style, colour, history and mouthwatering delights, it's very hard not to be seduced by Paris. I can see why they call it the City of Love.
