In a sign of healthy compet-

ition, a number of catego-

ries in this year’s South

Coast Tourism Awards have

more than one finalist from

Kiama.

The Awards, which will

be presented in Ulladulla

on 26 August, are organised

by the South Coast Region-

al Tourism Organisation.

The organisation is an

umbrella body for tourism

in the six local government

areas of Wollongong City,

Shellharbour City, Kiama

Municipality, Shoalhaven

City, Eurobodalla Shire

and Bega Valley Shire.

Kiama businesses and

events are finalists in 12

of the 28 categories. By

comparison, last year the

Kiama LGA had finalists

in five categories, with the

Sebel Habourside taking out

the award for meetings and

functions and our Show

being judged the best Event/

Festival on the South Coast.

Overall there was increas-

ed interest in the awards this

year, with 33 per cent more

applications from across the

region.

Operators self-nominate

with a comprehensive appli-

cation, and are then visited

by a judge. This process has

led to 102 finalists being

selected for the 28 categor-

ies, so the competition will

be tough to get an award.

The local tourism industry

has been the beneficiary of

the lower Australian dollar,

attracting both domestic and

overseas visitors.

Plans afoot to make the KISS Arts Festival bigger and better Buoyed by this year’s success, the initiators of the

Kiama International Seaside (KISS) Arts Festival

are proposing a change of date and venue to make

the event an even bigger drawcard for the town.

Dave Evans and Tamara Campbell, both well

established international street theatre and cabaret

performers, launched the first KISS Arts Festival

four years ago with the aim of bringing a taste of

European festival life to Kiama.

For the next stage of the Festival’s development,

the proposal is to centralise the action down within

the Black Beach market precinct, over a Friday

afternoon/evening and a Saturday day/night.

“The aim of the 2016 event is to create a KISS

Arts Festival village around Kiama’s iconic har-

bour,” says Dave Evans. “Our vision is for the

path around the harbour to be converted into a

bustling, atmospheric maritime themed walkway

with the sea on one side and a host of entertain-

ment venues, food stalls, community stages and

comic characters on the other.

“The whole area will be bought alive with a

magical and vibrant atmosphere, with a surprise

around every corner and something for every

member of our area’s diverse community.”

Last year the harbour area was used for a chalk

art masterclass, and Pascale and KiKi (Dave and

Tamara’s alter egos) presented the winners of the

busking competition their prizes down at the

Kiama Farmers’ Market.

“Being down there certainly helped inspire this

new stage of the Festival’s development,” says

Dave. As with earlier years, the event will be free

to the public apart from donations made to street

performers.

The pair have approached Council for $10,000 to

help stage the Festival, as well as seeking funding

from other sources.

The next concert presented by Gerringong Music

Club, Ilir and Friends, will feature Ilir Merxhushi

on cello, David Vance on piano, and Kyle Little on

violin, playing Vivaldi, Shostakovich, Brahms, Arvo

Pärt and Faure. It will introduce young cellist Isa-

belle Cork, playing a solo.

Ilir performed as a soloist and chamber musician

throughout Europe before migrating to Australia

from Albania in 2001. He has played with the Aus-

tralia Opera and Ballet Orchestra under Simone

Young, and now has an active teaching practice in

Wollongong.

David studied piano at the Wollongong Conserva-

torium and pursued further studies in Italy, Austria

and England. He taught at the University of Sydney

and NSW Conservatorium of Music before teaching

at the University of Wollongong as an Associate

Professor in the Faculty of Creative Arts from 1982

until his retirement in 2012.

The last member of the trio, Kyle, is Canadian and

has studied under a number of well respected vio-

linists, including master classes with Pinchas Zuker-

man, and has a number of awards for academic and

musical achievement.

Together they are encouraging Isabelle, a tal-

ented student of Ilir’s from Nowra Anglican College.

She began her cello lessons with Wilhelm Drucken-

brodt while living in Germany.

Details: Sun 30 August, 2pm, Gerringong Town Hall.

Tickets are $20 at the door (doors open from 1.30pm).

Free to members and students. Afternoon tea available.

Hear Ilir and Friends

Did you know that a vast

marshland once covered

the floor of the Jamberoo

Valley? 120 years ago

a drainage scheme was

initiated which changed

'the swamp’ into one of the

most fertile and productive

areas in the country.

At the next talk organised

by the Kiama and District

Historical Society, David

Radford and Geoff Boxsell

will be sharing their know-

ledge of the Terragong

Swamp - from prehistory

to the present day.

David has a keen interest in local history

and has spoken on several topics for the

historical society. Geoff has a lifelong con-

nection with Jamberoo and the dairy indus-

try and is the secretary of the Terragong

Drainage Union, which continues to man-

age the area.

A crew from Jamberoo Rural Fire Service, representing

the Illawarra, returned home triumphant from a field day

organised by the Shoalhaven District RFS in Nowra.

The day was based around attending a major fire or

emergency incident, and the ten teams were given a num-

ber of scenarios to complete against the clock. These

tested the crews on a variety of skills including remote

water pumping, hose work, working with hydrants, equip-

ment knowledge, driving skills and safety procedures.

In addition there was a particularly difficult chainsaw

challenge which saw two of the team, Cameron McIn-

erney and Mongo Delamont, cut and sculpt their way to

a well deserved victory.

In all there were six events, with Jamberoo coming sec-

ond in three, as well as first in the chainsaw event, result-

ing in overall first place for the day. The prizes included

some really useful equipment for the brigade as well as

a jacket for each competitor and a gold cup for display.

Jamberoo brigade training officer and team manager,

Hannah McInerney said, “These events provide an excel-

lent platform for training for the real life scenarios we will

face at major fires and other emergencies and as such are

a valuable experience for all involved.”

These well-honed skills were soon called upon again to

deal with the recent fire at Jamberoo Club. The fire, in a

storeroom, led to the evacuation of the club.

The Jamberoo team at the Nowra competition consisted

of Mongo Delamont, Cameron McInerney, Bob Parker,

Jeremy Quinn, Dave Brennan, Hannah McInerney and

John Temlett.

The win demonstrates again how well served our district

is by highly trained and dedicated emergency volunteers.

In May, the Kiama SES took out the NSW SES State Dis-

aster Rescue Challenge, qualifying it for the national titles

in Adelaide in September.

Anyone interested in joining the RFS

should call 4230 8200 during normal business hours.

For the record

Wait for approval Consideration of The

al Planning Panel,

rather than Council, is

the approval authority

for the project due to

its size. Sixteen shops

and 76 residential units

are proposed for the

site.

Register now for Relay for Life By all accounts the

inaugural Relay for

Life Launch Party

was a great night.

Although it wasn’t

meant to be a fund-

raiser, they just could-

n’t help themselves

and managed to raise

$4000 during the

evening.

The goal of this year’s Kiama Relay for Life is to raise

$120,000 for the Caoncer Council. This year’s event will

be held on 24/5 October.

Seventeen teams, and 80 participants, have already

registered for the event.

All participants who are registered for Kiama Relay for

Life by August 24 will go into the draw to win a $200

Harvey Norman Voucher, with the winner announced on

25 August.

Details: Early bird registration is only $15

Dig out your old glasses Chances are that anyone

who wears glasses will

have more than just one

spare pair lying around at

home. But are they really

spare if your eyesight has

changed, through surgery

or time?

Or maybe just fashion has

changed, and the chances

of you wearing them again

are pretty slim.

At the same time, people

in poorer parts of the world

are suffering for lack of glasses. Looks like

the best answer is to match your glasses up

to those in need.

During August, Eyestore at Kiama Village

is acting as a drop-off point for the Kiama

Lions Recycle for Sight project.

All sorts of glasses are useful - even if the

lens are damaged, as the frames and other

parts can be used. Cases are also of value.

Dr Susan Ang of Eyestore goes to Cam-

bodia twice a year to help with eye projects

there, and knows what a difference the

recycled glasses make to people’s lives.

She says optometry students have a tradi-

tion of being involved with the glasses

recycling project, by classifying the dona-

tions by their prescription strength.

Glasses can be left at the store throughout

the year, although the Lions drive finishes

at the end of August.

This year’s Berry Quilting Exhibition is again being

set up and run by CMRI Gerringong members in

return for the door proceeds, so they are keen for

as many people as possible to visit.

The exhibition is run by Elizabeth Buggelde of

the Berry Patchwork Shop in conjunction with her

annual quilters’ retreat.

The works of seven internationally acclaimed

tutors will be on display, as well as panels made

around the world for the Medieval Project which

was launched in Nantes in France in April. This is

the first time the Medieval Project, which features

interpretations of five different medieval linocuts,

has been on show in Australia. Other quilts on

display will compete for three textiles art prizes,

and there will be a number of trade stalls.

A group of ladies on the Central Coast who are

regulars at this event have generously made this

year’s raffle quilt for the CMRI. The raffle will be

drawn at the November Quilt Show at Gerringong.

braved the cold for the AGM

Following a success-

ful membership drive

during June and July,

over 70 members

attended the AGM of

the Jamberoo Valley

Residents and Rate-

payers Association

in early August.

Another sign of the renewed vigour was multiple nomi-

nees for nearly all committee positions. The 2015/6 office

bearers are President: Geoff Boxsell, Vice President: Ken

Jeffrey, Secretary: Narelle Day and Treasurer: Vivienne

Marris.

The Executive are supported by a five person committee

- Andrew Waugh, Susan Nash, Phil Lewis, John Jennings,

and Robert McKinnon

As on-going President Geoff Boxsell said when present-

ing the report, “We consider our role to be not only a

watching brief, but more of a Progress Association, and it

is important that we seek benefits not only for the town,

but for the Jamberoo Valley as a whole.”

In 2014/5, amongst other things, the Association:

♦ successfully lobbied Council for road safety and

beautification projects

♦ took over the running of the monthly market

♦ supported the inclusion of an Over 50s component

in the Wyalla Rd development (Brookwood Estate)

♦ advised Council on the best route for the cycleway

to Jamberoo

♦ proposed, fundraised and built the Centenary of

ANZAC Rotunda

♦ requested Council install CCTV cameras

♦ representing the area in the development of the

Minnamurra Estuary Coastal Zone Management Plan

♦ liaised with Council over many other issues affecting

Jamberoo residents.

Over the past ten years, Wollongong-based organisation

SCARF (Strategic Community Assistance to Refugee

Families) has delivered programs and services to refugee

families and communities in the Illawarra. Over 150

volunteers have shared their time, energy and expertise

to help more than 1000 people from refugee backgrounds

settle in our region.

Its major fundraiser, art4refugees, is being organised

again for this year. 100% of the proceeds of the sale of

donated artwork at the event go to support SCARF’s

work.

The event has been running for seven years, regularly

raising between $15-$17,000 to support SCARF programs

and services. “As SCARF has never received ongoing

government funding, we rely heavily on this annual fund-

raiser event,” says the organisation’s Executive Officer

Sherryl Reddy.

The charity art show is on in late September at The

Illawarra Grammar School, and organisers are seeking

donations of paintings (in any medium), photographs,

sculpture, textiles, jewellery and ceramics. As well as art-

ists donating their original work, the organisers welcome

donations from people’s collections.

Tickets for the opening night on Friday 25 September

($35) include a Champagne Supper, cultural performances

from SCARF refugee community members, and tradi-

tional Asian and Middle Eastern canapés. And of course

the opportunity to be the first to view the artworks for

purchase. Entry on the Saturday and Sunday is by gold

coin donation.

Details: Find out how to donate or purchase tickets for

the opening night ($35) at www.art4refugees.org.au or

A craft brewer for Kiama? A development applic-

ation has been lodged

to establish an artisan

beer brewery off Man-

ning St (in the building

behind the bakery).

The 600 litre micro-

brewery will use hands-

on traditional brewing

methods, which enhance the complexity of flavours.

“We will be using all natural, unfiltered, unpasturized

full malt beers, from quality Australian grain and yeast,”

says Susan Beaupark. “My mum’s father was the foreman

at Tooths Brewery in the 1940s, so I guess it must be in

my genes to want to start a brewery.”

The venture is a family affair, and the concept is to brew

the beer onsite, and to sell the beer from there at times

when the brewing isn’t happening as well as selling online

and at the Kiama Farmers Market. Brewing tours may

also be organized outside of actual brewing hours, as the

brewery is too small to have sales or tours at the same

time as brewing.

The Beauparks have engaged a master brewer with

experience in setting up microbreweries to get the project

off to a good start. The plan is to brew a variety of styles

with the focus on quality and depth of flavour.

Kiama last had a brewery between 1852 to 1896. It was

owned by George Hunt, who also built and owned the

Grand Hotel.

“We wanted to reintroduce a brewery to Kiama that

will enhance the local community by providing a locally

produced fresh beer for locals and tourists,” Susan says.

If all goes according to schedule, Kiama Brewing

Company should be producing its first beer by the end

of the year.

Unfortunately because of

our deadline we are unable

to give you a report of

Christine Anu launching this

year’s Folk by the Sea with

a few of her much loved

songs at Surf Beach.

But we were able to alert

people to it through our

facebook page, so hopefully

you got down there for her

performance and the launch

ceremony.

The Bugle has been prim-

ing you for the festival for

some time now, so we are

delighted to present here

six of the critics’ picks for

the weekend (aka six good

reasons to purchase an early

bird ticket now):

���� Brendan Gallagher

ARIA-winning musician

Brendan Gallagher, The

Karma Country frontman

who has performed on

recordings for artists as

diverse as David Bowie,

Jimmy Little and Kylie

Minogue, will be perform-

ing solo at Folk By The Sea.

Catch him at 8.45pm on the

Festival’s opening night on

Friday, September 4.

���� Dead Men Talking

This show by actors Max

Cullen and Warren Fahey

celebrates Australia’s two

greatest story-tellers, Henry

Lawson and Banjo Paterson.

Cullen (Lawson) and Fahey

(Paterson) stage a meeting

between the two writers at

Heaven’s Gate, where they

yarn about their lives and

their works.

The show has been fea-

tured recently on ABC TV

News and in the Sydney

Morning Herald’s Spectrum

magazine to great acclaim.

Illawarra Folk Club presi-

dent Russell Hannah says

this 90-minute show at 3pm

on Saturday is one not to be

missed.

We think live theatre of

this class is worth the cost

of the early bird two day

pass on its own.

���� Christine Anu

The Festival’s headline act

is one of Australia’s fore-

most vocalists and best-

loved performers.

In a 75 minute perform-

ance on Saturday, starting

at 8pm, Christine will take

you through her own exten-

sive catalogue as well as

some of the biggest ballads

of the last 50 years.

An outstanding opportunity

for all ages, again incredible

value.

���� The Hill Billy Goats

This North Queensland duo

combines songs, stories,

tap-dancing, big harmonies

and regular instrument

changes. They are on Fri at

7.30pm and Sat at 6.30pm.

���� Jodie Martin

A South Australian song-

stress whose new album,

Saltwater, features co-writes

with Arlo Guthrie and Jeff

Lang. Jodi will be perform-

ing at 10pm on Friday and

2pm on Saturday.

���� Lagoon Hill Zydeco

This lively dance band from

Tasmania led by accordion-

ist Dave Elliston is sure to

get toes tapping. They are

Our occasional series with a very broad brief

As Douglas Adams so rightly put it in The Hitchhiker’s

Guide to the Galaxy, “Space is big. You just won't believe

how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you

may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's,

but that's just peanuts to space.”

Postcard from a Tropical North Retreat We are away again in our motorhome. This time it’s

a four month circuit of Queensland. First up to the

tropical coast to warm up, and stop a while to soak

it in.

Then we head inland to Normanton and The Gulf

and on to visit friends on a property at Julia Creek.

The final trek home will be back through centre of

Queensland.

We've been captivated by the area around Wonga-

ling Beach (near Mission Beach) overlooking Dunk

Island. It is iconic North Queensland with the tropi-

cal blue waters, coconut palms and a long, long

beach to walk along.

We waded out to the water taxi off our beach

(note we call it our beach now) for the 15 minute

trip to Dunk Island for the day.

The last two cyclones finally destroyed most of

the resort infrastructure which may be a little bless-

ing in disguise as it is now so QUIET. The little

beaches are magic, some covered in coral washed

in from The Great Barrier Reef, which made music

like tinkling chimes when we walked on it.

There are coastal walking tracks around the whole

island and a hike to the lookout. The island is

covered in tropical rainforest plants which cool and

intrigue you.

A very friendly local has opened a small Sunset Bar

in a shipping container, put out the deck chairs and

tables on the sand and serves the best fish & chips

and fresh giant prawns. Of course beer, wine and

champagne are plentifully available and on Sundays

he has live music.

We had a ball. Maybe the wine and sun did it but

we thought it was our personal resort.

Leaving is hard. Note to self - "Must come back".

Heather and Peter O’Neill, Kiama

Youth gives their perspective Kiama High’s SRC used the opportunity of its recent

Youth Engagement Meeting with Kiama councillors and

senior Council staff to make a number of suggestions on

issues affecting young residents.

Amongst these were:

♦ Making membership of the Leisure Centre more afford-

able for students

♦ Increasing the number of water bubblers or refillable

water stations (editor’s note: formerly known as taps)

♦ Complaints about the current seating in Hindmarsh Park

♦ Various road safety suggestions

♦ The need to repair holes in the fences between the rail-

way and the Kiama Coast Walk

♦ The need for a basketball court in the Kiama CBD.

The Meeting was held as part of Local Government Week.

Technology matters

Got a bit of time on your

hands, access to the internet

and an interest in astron-

omy? Then you can join in

with hundreds of thousands

of people around the world

who are helping Galaxy Zoo

classify images of galaxies.

It turns out that with all

the technology at astrono-

mers’ disposal, nothing so

far has outperformed the

ability of humans to easily

identify specific features.

The latest version of

Galaxy Zoo combines new

imaging from the Sloan

Digital Sky Survey, giving

the best ever view of the

local universe, with the

most distant images yet

from Hubble's CANDELS

survey.

Galaxy Zoo is a collabora-

tion by astronomers from

the world’s leading univer-

sities, and they want you

to be a citizen scientist.
