Inside this issue

The BugleThe BugleThe BugleThe Bugle Reilly quits Labor Party Neil Reilly joined the ALP

in 2004 after what he saw as

the Howard Government’s

appalling treatment of

refugees. He is leaving the

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 pre-

pared to sacrifice

dearly held princi-

ples 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 con-

ventions, in the same way

as we are ashamed of the

policies that produced the

Stolen Generation.

“In 2007 our policies over

refugees were quite differ-

ent, but the Party has weak-

ened 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 high-

ground. 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 dis-

illusioned 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, Bulle-

court, Poziers, Polygon Wood, The Hinden-

burg 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 Sulli-

van 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.

Keep in mind we are

published fortnightly,

and like to let people

know about things

well ahead of time so

they don’t miss out.

Kiama artist Greg Martin Vale has a solo exhibition

of his work at the Minnamurra Café until 26 April.

Drop in and enjoy the breadth of his work, which

features many local scenes.

Save the date Barely is the 2015 Festival

over than the hard working

team at the Jazz & Blues

Club are planning their

next big show.

Keep Sat 15 August free

for a 40s themed Victory

Dance, billed as a tribute

the men and women who

went to war. Given the

success of their Gatsby and

New Orleans nights in

previous years, this one

promises to again pack out

The Pavilion.

You’ve plenty of time

to brush up on your dance

steps.

Kiama Farmers’ Market moves to winter hours

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 trad-

ing 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.

Wartime songs live again If you missed Jamberoo

Gerringong to come Alive again 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 Soor-

leys coming to town.

This tousled bohemian

outfit, made up of sisters

Beth, Laura, Shelley and

Millie, with husbands Sam

and Christopher in tow.

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 win-

ning folk and indie singer

song writer Joe Mungovan.

At just 19 years of age

Joe had already shared

stages with some of Aust-

ralia’s most well known

acts including The Prea-

tures, Ian Moss, Mark Sey-

mour, Glenn Shorrock and

Christine Anu. Joe has

also played pre-show enter-

tainment for Neil Young,

Gotye, Paul Simon and

Sting.

There will also be sup-

port 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.

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 recom-

mends the books of Australian crime writer Garry Disher,

in particular Bitter Wash Road.

Details: If you’d like to join the group,

contact Ken via email - kenmethold1@gmail.com

Let’s give Ellie another hand

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.

The Sooleys in sedate mode

Introducing Blue Haven Care 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 pro-

viding a continuum of care for the aged, so we are bring-

ing 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 oper-

ations 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.

Details: Mon 27 April, 10.15 for 10.45 start.

Members of the public are invited to attend, but an rsvp

is needed by 17 April for catering purposes.

Get into

your Garden 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 self-watering, 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, beet-

root, parsnip, potatoes, garlic, leeks and onions.

Now’s the time to rip out your tomatoes and cucur-

bits– they are as good as

finished and are taking up space better used by cool-

season 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 com-

post 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 Man-

ure 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 along-side 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 vig-

our of your next harvest.

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.

Details: Sun 19 April, 8am

ANZAC Sunday Service open to all

The ANZAC commemorative emblem

will be in place on Kiama Lighthouse

in time for this year’s special Dawn

Service. The work is scheduled to

take place on Thursday, 16 April, after

years of campaigning by the local RSL.

This year’s Anniversary Dawn

Service will be held at Blowhole

Point, the site of Kiama’s first

Dawn Service in 1916 (right).

The Service will commence at

5am. Large crowds are expect-

ed to attend (as many as 3000

have been estimated), and

Blowhole Point will be closed

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.

After the Service, local clubs will be

firing up their BBQs and cafes along

the main street are being encouraged

to open early.

Gerringong RSL is holding a Dawn

Service on the Headland at 6am to

mark its respect for the local families

who sacrificed so much.

The district March will begin in

Kiama at 10.30, led by the specially

formed Kiama-Jamberoo RSL First

Lighthorse Troop, with four horsemen

in World War I uniform.

Local ANZAC commemorations gear up

Lighthouse will be major focal point

Jamberoo remembers early Jamberoo will be holding its ANZAC Commemora-

tion Service and March on Saturday 18 April so that

residents can be together as a village as well as

participate in the bigger district events.

The march will commence at 10.30am from Reid

Park and proceed along Allowrie St to the Memorial

in front of the Jamberoo School of Arts. Traffic will

be interrupted for an hour, with detours organised.

Local history makes it all so real 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 individu-

als 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 particu-

larly poignant.

There is a wealth of infor-

mation worth looking

through on the Library’s

Building a critical mass of Kiama tweeters Simon Duffin and his Aust-

ralian wife Anita Volkert

settled in Kiama from the UK

three months ago and are

loving it here. He’s a free-

lance journalist, having writ-

ten 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 offer-

ing 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 experi-

ences 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.

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 table-

spoons 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!

At the CWA Concert: Songs That Won the War

At the Farmer’s Market Easter Hunt

Welcome to the newest member of the Grey family

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.

Kel and Mahlah Grey are happy to announce the safe arrival

of Brydie Ellen - born 26th March and weighing a healthy

8lbs 4oz. A lovely little sister for Tabitha and a welcome

addition for The Pines Kiama.

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.

Four year old Isabelle Margetts

has never been so excited

about a potato before!

Postcard from the Pacific - no wait, make that Hobart! My Mum Peggy turns 90 in September, so we figure

she gets 90 birthday celebrations this year.

One of those knees up was in early March - Mum

and I went on a Pacific Cruise. I thought it would

be good to extend our summer, so Noumea and Fiji

here we come! We packed our sarongs and cossies -

yes, mum’s a swimmer from way back!

And because my Mum has taught me well, I also

packed one set of warm clothes – you just never

know!

Our first two days on the high seas saw tempera-

tures rise while we lay around in the sun, read (me),

snoozed (Mum) and generally watched the Great

South Pacific sail past.

We were just leaving our first stop, Noumea, when

the captain came onto our TV holding a beautiful

map of the Pacific Ocean. But what was that scary

red patch in the top right corner? Cyclone Pam!

She wasn’t going to let us get anywhere near Fiji!

So about-face and three days later we pulled up

the Derwent River into Hobart! While some cruise-

goers who had ONLY brought sarongs mutinied,

Mum and I were in our element! We Love Hobart!

We spent our first day on dry land drinking real

coffee (who knows what the stuff on board the ship

was), watching seals play in the harbour, contem-

plating the adventures had by the Antarctic ships

that were tied up next to us, buying gorgeous things

in the shops along Salamanca Place and stuffing our-

selves with oysters (see the photo of Mum in her

sensible cardi from Kerry’s Klothes Kiama!).

The following day Mum rested up after a full day

walking around Hobart Town and I took the 20

minute ferry trip up the Derwent River to MONA –

the Museum of Old and New Art and Hobart’s newest

star attraction.

All my dreams had come true. I’ve visited MONA

once before but only for two hours. This time I spent

the whole day.

Thank heavens we had packed those sensible

clothes! What a Mum!

It is hoped that the

Negotiation with land-

holders are ongoing.

The path is shared
