She said, “The Friends have been such a wonderful support over 46 years, running stalls at the annual fete and raising money in other ways. I will miss those pickle jars from the fete.

“Thank you all for all the blood, sweat and tears you have put in enriching the lives of past and present residents, especially over Christmas. Thank you so much from the Lifestyle Team and all the residents.” from page 3 young man. She says she felt that the only reason the sergeant turned up before dawn was because the boy was an unattended minor.

Despite the sadness of this decision, the Friends’ legacy will live on in the memories of the residents and staff of the Blue Haven Retirement Village. The organisation’s decades of dedicated service to the community made a real difference in the lives of the residents they served for so many years. Their contributions will not be forgotten.

The police said they had 16 other more urgent jobs to work on before they could attend to her in Gerringong.

But the young kids knew that, she says. “They said we come here because there are no cops around.”

No town in the Kiama LGA has a Neighbourhood Watch scheme in place, so residents use Facebook to warn each other of recent crimes.

A NSW Police Force representative reminds locals to lock their vehicles and remove any property from inside the car, especially bags, mobile phones, mail and even money in consoles.

Rachel says that the police told her to even take the money out of the console. “They said if they break into 20 cars and and steal $5 in each one, then that $100 is worth it to them. It cost me $440 for a new window, so I will be following this advice.”

On successful completion of the course, participants will receive a Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing) CHC33015^
