Reilly quits Labor Party Neil Reilly joined the ALP appalling treatment of in 2004 after what he saw as refugees. He is leaving the the Howard Government’s Party over the same dearly held human rights principles. “My values haven’t changed, but the values of the Party have,” he says. “I no longer want to be associated with a Party prepared to sacrifice dearly held principles for a few more votes.”
He believes that in the future we will look back on this period, of putting children in detention and ignoring international conventions, in the same way as we are ashamed of the policies that produced the Stolen Generation. “In 2007 our policies over refugees were quite different, but the Party has weakened since then,” he says. His decision was clinched by the plight of the young Iranian hunger striker close to death in a Perth hospital.
“Our lack of compassion will bring disrepute on us from around the world. I’ve been waiting in vain for Labor to differentiate itself and take the moral highground. It hasn’t, and I am not prepared to give up on my core beliefs.” Councillor Reilly, who stood three times as Labor candidate for the Federal seat of Gilmore, has been disenchanted with the Labor Party’s factional system for some time.“Labor should be the party of equity and ideas,
but it isn’t because of the way that it is run.” Reilly holds his seat on Council as an independent, as he does not believe that party politics has a role in local government. He says he has great respect for party members who are prepared to keep fighting to change things from within. He is too disillusioned to believe that change will happen this way. “I’ll continue to be an activist, but it will be on my terms,” he says.

Sullivan brothers to pay their respects at Gallipoli When Kevin Sullivan Senior, 84, won two tickets in the ballot to enable him to be at Gallipoli for the 100th Anniversary, he couldn’t believe his luck. Over 42,000 people applied for the 8,000 places reserved for Australians that day. While his father, James Sullivan, was not at Gallipoli, he served with distinction on other European battlefields during the Great War. He was a member of the 53rd Battalion which left Sydney in November 1915 to join the British Imperial Forces. He fought on the front at the Battle of Fromelle, Fleurbaix, the Somme, Bullecourt, Poziers, Polygon Wood, The Hindenburg Line, Villers-Brettonneux, Perrone and Flanders. He was wounded twice and was promoted several times on the field, finally receiving his commission as Lieutenant. He was also mentioned in despatches. James arrived safely back in Australia in July 1919, returning to Cargo (west of Orange) to have a family of ten children. His children and their children have never forgotten his bravery and the hardships endured. All of Kevin’s branch of the family have lived in Kiama for some time.
Since getting news of the ballot win last year, Kevin’s health, and that of his wife, deteriorated to the extent that he realised he would be unable to attend the ceremony. “There is going to be a bit too much walking and being out in the cold for me to cope with,” he says regretfully. His disappointment is tempered with the delight that his sons Kevin Junior (who was originally to accompany him as his carer) and Christopher are being allowed to go in his place. Following their trip to Gallipoli, the Sullivan brothers will travel to Normandy and retrace the movements of their grandfather, who they remember as Pop, utilising his military record. “My brother and I are so excited to be taking this trip of a lifetime, to be present at Gallipoli on the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC landing and then to follow in our Grandfather’s footsteps,” says Kevin Jnr. The commemorations are being planned with military precision, to ensure the experience is a fitting tribute.

Wartime songs live again
In its inaugural year, the Kiama Farmers’ Market tried valiantly to keep to its usual trading hours once Daylight Saving ended, but it soon got too dark to trade (although the lamplight needed did add a touch of European atmosphere to the proceedings!). This year’s Winter trading hours of 2-5pm have started already, just like the winter winds. Don’t forget that the Market now has a wet weather option at The Pavilion, if absolutely necessary.

Gerringong to come Alive again
Introducing Blue Haven Care
The organisers of last year’s sell-out Beats n Eats night are at it again. Music lovers are in for some foot stomping with The Soorleys coming to town. This tousled bohemian outfit, made up of sisters Beth, Laura, Shelley and Millie, with husbands Sam and Christopher in tow.
Kiama Council has long had a commitment to providing services for our aging population, from helping people stay in their own homes longer to providing independent living units and nursing home facilities. Until now though, these services have been run by separate bodies within Council, leading to perception problems. “We want to make it obvious that we are providing a continuum of care for the aged, so we are bringing all of our services under the Blue Haven Care banner,” says Clare Rogers, Director of Community Services. Blue Haven Care was chosen to leverage off the most widely recognised of the Council’s operations. The operations of Illawarra In-Home Support, which provides services to assist people to live independently in their own homes, and provides respite programs to support carers, will merge with those of Blue Haven to create a continuous process for those in need. “The change will position us better to meet future demands on our services,” says Ms Rogers. To mark the reorganisation, Council is holding a launch which will showcase the breadth of its commitment to aged care, with a special line-up of guest speakers, entertainment and stalls (with information about aged care, disability services, the Kiama Hospital site and the Dementia Friendly trial). There will also be the opportunity to tour Blue Haven Care Home and Blue Haven Village that afternoon.
The Sooleys in sedate mode
They call it ‘fun folk’; the raw stomp of their Irish ancestors and the pop sensibilities of Fleetwood Mac. Onstage the sisters spin, hoot and holler with joy and abandon as they sing, chanting incantations atop folk rhythms. Who better to support these travelling minstrels than Kiama’s award winning folk and indie singer song writer Joe Mungovan. At just 19 years of age Joe had already shared stages with some of Australia’s most well known acts including The Preatures, Ian Moss, Mark Seymour, Glenn Shorrock and Christine Anu. Joe has also played pre-show entertainment for Neil Young, Gotye, Paul Simon and Sting. There will also be support from local up and coming duo Ben Fryer and Ella Schipp. The format will follow the last event, with an optional dinner component. Our recommendation is to get in quick to secure your tickets. Details: Sat 23 May, Gerringong Town Hall Tickets on sale at moshtix Fri 24 April Dinner tickets $65 pp Entry tickets $25 pp

Let’s give Ellie another hand
Is crime up your alley? Ken Methold is a man who likes a good crime novel. And he’s looking for other men to form a Men’s Crime Club so they can meet monthly to discuss books they have read. “Most of the book clubs around have a majority of women members, and crime novels aren’t often their book of choice,” he says. “A lot of men read this specialty genre all the time, and it would be great to have someone to discuss it with.” The plan is to meet at lunchtime on the last Thursday of the month. Rather than reading a set book, members will continue to read books of their own selection. By giving the members of the group a review of their books, they will help each other with future must-reads. A list of the latest well reviewed titles will also be circulated. Currently Ken is re-reading Lionel Davidson’s books, which are crime mixed with espionage. He highly recommends the books of Australian crime writer Garry Disher, in particular Bitter Wash Road.
Whether you follow the form or you are more interested in the fashions, the Race Day is always a great day out. There are Fashion on the Field competitions and great lucky door prizes. The entry price includes lunch and afternoon tea, as well as three complimentary drinks. There is an on-course bookmaker, as well as TAB betting centres.
In our last edition we mentioned that Ellie Burnett had succeeded in raising $13,000 for the Leukaemia Foundation, but that has since increased to $15,000! That’s more than enough reason to show you this delightful after photo.
Minigolf in the Library? As part of National Youth Week, those crazy librarians are transforming our Library into a 9 hole mini-golf course. Ages 11-17 only. Maybe they should do the same for the next Seniors Week… Details: Sat 11 April, 3.30-5.30 Call 4233 1133 to register.

Get into your Garden
Local ANZAC commemorations gear up
It’s definitely autumn vegie planting time now and no-one’s garden is too small to grow some veg and herbs. This week we got a brand new range of Vegepod vegie beds. They are selfwatering, covered pods that make growing vegies possible in all homes, even if you’ve only got a small balcony or a courtyard. They are fully contained, simple and really do work. There are sizes to suit most gardeners. So, what to plant now? Now the weather is cooler it’s a good time to plant out greens to support the immune system – kale, lettuces, collards, broccoli, mizuna, radish, rocket and silverbeet all go in now. It’s also time for turnip, climbing beans and peas, carrot, cauliflower, beetroot, parsnip, potatoes, garlic, leeks and onions. Now’s the time to rip out your tomatoes and cucurbits– they are as good as finished and are taking up space better used by coolseason growing plants. There’s also better uses now for your basil pot so turn your basil into pesto and plant out herbs that you’ll use over winter oregano, thyme, parsley, chives. Dig in some compost and/or manure. There are plenty of good commercial additives we’re happy to sell you too but if nothing else at least make sure you’ve added a bit of JamberooMooPoo. Hopefully you’ve already got a crop of Green Manure in and up by now (no, it’s not poo, it’s a combo of nitrogen-rich legume plants you can dig back into your vegie garden prior to sowing, or alongside your winter plantings). If not, yes, we’ve got still got it for $9 a bag and yes, there’s still time. If you do need to spell a garden bed, remember those green manure crops really are great for no fuss weed control and could be your secret weapon for improved flavour and vigour of your next harvest.
Local history makes it all so real

ANZAC Sunday Service open to all The bell tower of Christchurch, the little white church at the end of Terralong St, was built as a memorial to the fallen of World War I. It is fitting then that people will pass through it on their way to a service to mark the 100th Anniversary of the ANZAC Landing. The church has marked ANZAC Sunday, the Sunday before ANZAC Day, since 2010. Rev Peter Mitchell, a Vietnam veteran who now ministers to RSL members, and Rev Bill Humphries have prepared a service that emphasises the continuing ties those that served have in our community. “Rather than forgotten names, these are people who have families that still live here,” Peter says. The reflections of Rev Ian Vickery, whose father was a major in PNG who was killed before his birth, and Major Rev Craig Potter, who has served in Afganistan, will be part of the service. All denominations and faiths welcome.
For some years, Kiama Library has been preparing for the Centenary of ANZAC by collecting stories, photos and records of local servicemen. The results of this work has been brought together in a series of fascinating booklets that are available free of charge. Some document individuals like George Weir, who grew up near Bush Bank and died at The Somme. Others compile lists of soldiers born in our villages and notes which were killed and where. The photos are particularly poignant.
Details: Sun 19 April, 8am Christchurch, Terralong St
There is a wealth of information worth looking through on the Library’s website: www.library.kiama. nsw.gov.au
Lighthouse will be major focal point to traffic to maintain the dignity of the occasion. Courtesy shuttle buses are being provided by Kiama Cabs from 4.30am, to be hailed along Terralong St. The Showground is also being opened for parking.

My Kiama Recipe of the year Everyone loves an ANZAC biscuit, and if you only make them one time a year this is that time. While you are eating them imagine the comfort they gave our troops when a care parcel arrived.
Combine a cup of plain flour, a cup of oats, a cup of sugar and 3/4 cup of coconut. Combine 125g butter in a saucepan with two tablespoons of golden syrup over a low heat and stir til melted. Mix half a teaspoon of bicarb with two tablespoons of boiling water, and add to pan, stirring briskly. Stir wet mixture into dry. Place tablespoons of the mix onto a lined baking tray, and bake at 150C for 20 minutes or so. Enjoy!

Simon Duffin and his Australian wife Anita Volkert settled in Kiama from the UK three months ago and are loving it here. He’s a freelance journalist, having written for The Guardian, and she lectures on occupational therapy at the Australian Catholic University. However as a keen user of social media, Simon’s been a bit disappointed, especially at the apparent lack of Kiama presence on Twitter. The Bugle has encouraged him to do something about it by offering a free session to convince more of us about the benefits of using Twitter. Here’s his reasoning why it would be great to get more of us tweeting and build a critical mass: “Some local folk are great on Twitter: our newly re-elected MP Gareth Ward is very active (as are some of his opponents); Kiama Library puts out some great info, specially on historical things; and our own Daisy the Cow (standing in the old fire station) has a really good account keeping an eye on everything others are saying about our town. “But other than that, things are pretty quiet, and it seems to me we're missing a trick as a local community. “Many people seem to think Twitter is all about celebs telling us what they had for lunch, but it's so much more. “It can be a great tool for promoting your business or your local club or just telling others what your favourite place is round town. “It can be a really useful information source (for example it took me 10 days after they'd reopened to find out the petrol station on Collins St was back in action recently). And during the power cuts we had back in January it could have been a really good way of finding out how far the problem extended and how long it might be off for (thanks to Wave FM for the info that day!). “It can also be a great way of networking in your chosen field. I tweeted a picture of a stick insect when I was in the Kiama Community Garden the other day and was delighted to get a response from a community garden in New York City! “If you'd like to learn more about how you could use Twitter, or maybe you have your own experiences to share, come along to our Sunday afternoon get together at the Little Blowhole Cafe and let's get Kiama tweeting…” Details: Sunday 19 April, 3-4pm Little Blowhole Café, 4 Tingira Cres, Kiama. The session will focus on the usefulness of Twitter, rather than the technical detail. Ideally, you’ll have set up a Twitter account before you come. BYO device.

Out & about At the Farmer’s Market Easter Hunt
The Farmers’ Market Easter Potato Hunt again attracted hundreds of children down to Black Beach to dig for potatoes. Given Kiama’s Irish heritage, it’s a very fitting tribute! Once found, the potatoes could be taken home or swapped for a chocolate egg or strawberry. The Easter Bunny made a special appearance.
At the CWA Concert: Songs That Won the War
The Jamberoo CWA reports that its March concert was a great success. The sell-out audience loved hearing the old songs being performed live. They brought back a lot of memories and tears to some eyes. A big thank you to Angela Quinn who directed the Ensemble and Intermezzo choral groups and the solo singers, whilst Barrie McNicoll was the MC.

Another reason to get on your bike The extension of the bikepath to Jamberoo is edging forward, with an extra kilometre along Swamp Rd recently being completed. It is hoped that the rest of the way to Jamberoo will not follow the busy road, but cut across country. Negotiation with landholders are ongoing. The path is shared with pedestrian traffic.
