Inside this issue

The BugleThe BugleThe BugleThe Bugle Kiama’s petrol solution What a difference a year

makes. By early 2015,

Kiama township will have

30 petrol pumps and eight

diesel pumps to fill up at,

a dramatic increase on the

number available at the

beginning of 2014.

It’s only a short time ago

that encouraging a new pet-

rol retailer was a priority for

Kiama Council. It went to

the extent of having consult-

ants assess potential sites,

looking to fast track a DA.

People power prevented

the preferred site at North

Bombo from going ahead.

The breakthrough has

come in two ways. Firstly,

with the retirement of Fred

Addison last year, things

began to change at Addi-

son’s Garage. And then

Glen Fulton Motors reacti-

vated its existing right of

usage to sell petrol on the

site of an old service station

in Collins St.

In its heyday of petrol re-

tailing, when the highway

went right through Kiama,

there were 13 (or 11) petrol

stations in the Kiama Muni-

cipality (depending on who

you talk to). Fultons simply

put the bowsers back in

position and started selling

petrol mid-year.

In the meantime, the

Addison family had begun

a major redevelopment

where around $1 million

is being invested in new

underground fuel tanks,

bowsers and the reconstruc-

tion of the forecourt.

While still under the

ownership of the Addison

family, their garage is

managed by well known

local Craig Bowles.

The historic exterior, built

by Fred in 1952, will remain

as it is the only petrol station

of its era still standing that is

in original condition.

Now that the two enor-

mous fuel tanks are in, the

forecourt area is expected

to be finished by the end

of October. In a line leading

from the awning, there will

be two groups of petrol

bowsers with eight hoses

each to carry the four grades

of fuel and a six hose diesel

bowser carrying standard,

premium and blue.

“We’ll still have driveway

service for those who rely

on it,” says Bowles, “but

the automated self-serve

functionality will make it

quicker for everyone.”

Afterhours, there will be

a facility to pay by card.

While they are still await-

ing council approval for

aspects of other stages, it

is hoped that all of the work

will be finished by the end

of the year.

The tank being installed

in the photo (one of two) is

a 90,000 litre multi compart-

ment dual walled fibreglass

fuel tank, made at Tomago,

near Newcastle, to a high

standard of vapour control.

Meanwhile, Glen Fulton

has recently sold its service

station activities to Sateesh

Muvva’s Enhance Petrol-

eum. Enhance already owns

the two petrol stations in

Gerringong, and has been

interested in establishing

a second petrol station in

Kiama for some time.

“We are very happy to

have the opportunity to

grow this site, which is in

such a convenient location

in the heart of town,” says

Muvva.

A large convenience store

is being constructed on the

site at the moment, and it

will be fully open in late

October. The business will

be open for extended hours,

yet to be set.

Enhance has been operat-

ing in Gerringong for six

years, and has other outlets

in Sydney. It has plans to

redevelop the Belinda St site

once the highway construc-

tion is completed.

End of an era

For those of you who have

always wondered what

Fred kept in those sheds,

you’ve now got a chance

to join in what might be

the biggest garage sale

ever. Items are being pre-

viewed on facebook.com/

pages/Addisons-Garage-

SHED-Cleanout, some with

an inspection time, before

they are listed on ebay

for sale - seller’s name is

addosshedmaster. A convenience store is being built as part of the Enhance business

The Sydney Comedy Festival

is finishing its 2014 Show-

case tour with a final hurrah

in Wollongong.

Each year the Showcase

hand-picks the funniest and

freshest acts of Sydney’s

biggest annual comedy

event and squeezes them

into one hilarious night of world-class comedy,

delivered around the country!

With a cavalcade of comedians to tickle every-

one’s funny bone, this is the best value ticket in

town. And they will be so pleased it’s the last night

of the tour...

Not really recommended as a family night, as

it’s bound to contain adult themes and coarse

language.

Details: Fri 17 Oct 7.30pm, $35 plus booking fee

Illawarra Performing Arts Centre, 32 Burelli St

Vince Jones Live in the Gong The very talented Vince Jones

is in Wollongong for just one

night soon, playing with his

three piece jazz band. Internat-

ionally renowned as a vocalist,

trumpeter and songwriter,

Jones will perform a cross-

section of songs from his 40

year career.

Hailed as Australia’s leading jazz vocalist, Vince Jones,

is also a remarkable interpreter and composer of songs

in a contemporary jazz style – a style that appeals equally

to listeners and his musical peers.

Adult: Sat 18 Oct 8pm

Illawarra Performing Arts Centre, 32 Burelli St

$45 plus booking fee. Concessions available.

St, Alexandria,

New Roo Theatre show It Runs In The Family is a

classic Ray Cooney farce.

People who should never

meet are brought together

as quickly as possible with

chaotic results, such as cross

dressing, which threaten to

go out of control at any moment.

It uses sexual innuendo, mistaken identity and physical

comedy. These are ordinary people in extraordinary situa-

tions. Very reminiscent of the Carry-On series of movies.

Bach without distractions Don’t miss the opportunity to hear two of Australia’s

leading cellists play in the intimate setting of Christ

Church, the little white church at the end of Terralong St.

Rachel Scott devised the idea of Bach in the Dark after

an experience when children helped her rediscover the

joy of concentrating solely on the purity of the music by

closing down your other senses.

At this concert she is being

joined by her former teacher,

David Pereira.

Latest on Kiama’s Hollywood legend

Until Catherine Martin won her 4th Oscar

for her work on The Great Gatsby,

Kiama’s own Orrey Kelly held the record

for the most number of Academy Awards

won by an Australian.

Kelly was a giant in Hollywood’s hey-

day in the Forties and Fifties, yet many

Australians don’t know of his achieve-

ments in costume design and his colourful

personal life.

This is about to change with a 95 minute

cinema documentary, directed by Gillian

Armstrong and produced by Damien Parer,

bringing him to people’s attention.

Parer reports that the film is a month off

being finished, and is due for release in the

middle of 2015. Its title, Women He’s Un-

dressed, is a play on the title of his tell-all

autobiography, which is being published

for the first time next year by Random

House.

Kelly was responsible for the costumes

in iconic films such as Casablanca,

An American in Paris, The Maltese Falcon

and Some Like It Hot. He died in 1964.

The film will tell his story through

archivial footage, interviews and recreat-

ions, and shed light on his close relation-

ship with Cary Grant.

After eleven years, Council

has passed over the role

of manager of the Produce

Market to HiViz Events

Management & Promotions.

Owned by Claire Roberts

and Kerrie Humphrey,

HiViz is looking to intro-

duce more home grown and

handmade products to the

stall mix, to have it reflect

the ‘grow it, sew it, make it,

bake it’ philosophy.

Claire says their first

weekend as managers

(in September) went really

well. “It was such a busy

weekend in town anyway,

with the school holidays,

the folk festival and Second-

hand Saturday,” she says.

“We are very happy with the

extra stallholders we have

been able to attract already.”

While she doesn’t believe

it is realistic to expect that

everything at the market

will be made locally, Claire

is keen to encourage local

producers and transition the

stallholder mix to incorpo-

rate more sustainable, eco-

friendly and crafty stalls.

“Our market will find its

own unique niche,” she

says.

Council’s role as manager

of the Produce Market led

many to believe the Wed-

nesday Farmers’ Market

was also Council driven.

In contrast to the Produce

Market, the Farmers’ Mar-

ket is run by a not-for-profit

association formed specifi-

cally to promote food pro-

duction in our region.

It is differentiated from

the Produce Market not only

in this way, but also in its

weekly scheduling and its

entirely food focus.

“We were asked to submit

a tender to run the Produce

Market, but wanted to re-

main a true farmers’ mar-

ket,” explains chair Fiona

Weir Walmsley. “To do

this, our market would have

had to commit to the market

going weekly on Saturdays,

as well as Wednesdays, and

being all about food.

“We decided to concen-

trate on making our existing

weekly market better and

better.”

HiViz also has a DA in to

establish an evening market

at Shellharbour, opposite the

cinema.

With Kiama having such a love affair

with its canine residents, it’s only

fitting that it was chosen as the ideal

venue for a four day workshop focusing

on a relatively new photographic niche

– pet photography.

The workshop, organised by two of

Australia’s leading pet photographers,

Ruth O’Leary and Charlotte Reeves,

featured a guest expert from the US,

and attracted photographers from

around the country and overseas inter-

ested in developing their techniques

for capturing the personalities of dogs.

“Dogs play an important part in peo-

ple’s lives,” says Ruth. “It shouldn’t

be surprising that people want to have

professional portraits done of them.

“It is not only expertise with the

camera that makes a good pet photog-

rapher - it also requires a genuine

affinity with animals and an ability

to develop a rapport quickly.”

Photo shoots were held at Primbee

Jetty and Bombo Headland (above),

as well as onsite at the venue, using

professional model dogs (of course).

see more examples of Ruth’s award

winning work.

The young people of Kiama are putting on

an afternoon of music and solidarity for

people with mental illness – and they want

you to come along and show your support.

It is a sobering statistic that one in four of

us will suffer from some form of mental

illness over the course of a year.

October is Mental Health Awareness

Month, a time reflect on how we can pro-

mote mental health and wellbeing within

our community and work to destigmatise

sufferers so they will seek help to get well.

The North Kiama Neighbourhood Centre

and Kiama Youth have organised a Beat da

Blues concert and expo in Hindmarsh Park

as part of the month long focus.

You are invited to come along and enjoy

the music of local performers – everything

from funk, reggae and indie – so you can

show them the issues matter to you too. The

musicians are mostly Kiama High students.

There will be stalls and show bags full of

goodies to promote mental heath strategies.

Sitting in a park, enjoying the day with

family and friends isn’t too hard an ask.

And your presence will make an impact as

a sign of community strength.

You might just learn something that helps

you.

Hot summer expected With the end of Daylight Saving comes the beginning

of the statutory Bush Fire Danger Period across NSW.

However Kiama has been amongst one-third of the

State that commenced its danger period earlier due to dry

conditions.

The Bureau of Meteorology says the outlook through to

December indicates warmer than normal temperatures for

the entire State. The recent 34C day in September bears that

prediction out.

Fines for reckless behaviour during the bushfire period

have increased, with the penalty for discarding a lit

cigarette during a total fire ban now standing at $1320.

The Bush Fire Danger Period for NSW ends on Tuesday

31st March 2015.

What’s your favourite place? Kiama Library is running its annual photographic comp-

etition, and this year the theme is ‘My favourite place’.

No matter where it is that you feel at ease, comfortable

and happy, they want to see a photo of it. The only provi-

sio is that it needs to be recent, and taken in Kiama.

Only 8x10 prints will be accepted, either colour or black

and white. All entries will be exhibited in the Library.

Entries in the competition will add to the Library’s Image

Collection, which aims to help document our region.

Details: Entries close at 5.30pm on Fri 31 October.

Application forms available at the Library.

Kiama’s Melissa Tierney

has been named as a NSW

finalist for a Pride of Aust-

ralia Medal.

The awards seek to recog-

nise ordinary Australians

who go above and beyond

what is expected of them

by their community.

On this criteria, Melissa

certainly qualifies. Only 19,

Melissa she has already

raised over $60,000 for the

Disability Trust and has

established the Music Mak-

ers – a safe and caring net-

work of friends for parents

and family members of

people with a disability.

Because of Melissa, the

families now have a strong

network of people who can

share the worries, frustra-

tions and joys of raising a

child with a disability.

Melissa was the 2011

Kiama Youth of the Year.

Not resting on her laurels,

she took up another cause

and raised $5000 to create a

special place at Wollongong

Botanical Gardens, for par-

ents who have lost a baby.

She was named i98FM

Local Hero of the Year in

2013, and raised $10,000

to help Dexter, a local boy

with cerebral palsy, vision

impairment and more.

Earlier this year she was

crowned Kiama Show Girl,

and has become the driving

force behind the Doing it

for Dexter renovations,

which are rallying the

community to build a dis-

ability friendly house for

his family.

Once can only wonder

what Melissa will achieve

with the rest of her life.

Postcard home Adventures in technology As one of the few areas to be largely connected to the NBN by fibre optic,

it’s time we made use of it in a productive way – not just regard it as an

entertainment tool. Future editions of The Bugle will include things we’ve

found interesting – be they websites, apps or trends.

36 hours in Paris En route to the south west of France for a friend’s 40th birthday celebrations

(as you do), there was a short window of time to spend in Paris. About 36

hours in fact.

Being a bit food-obsessed and loving fresh, seasonal and local produce (I run

Foodscape Tours on the South Coast), it had to be a food-focused window of

time. And my main goal was to visit Ladurée, the home of the macaron!

With the weather warm and sunny, the best way to explore this amazing

city was to don the walking shoes and take in the sights by foot.

The first afternoon was spent walking along the Seine toward Notre Dame

then taking a left to walk the length of the beautiful Boulevard St Germain.

The following morning began at Les Marché des Enfants Rouges, one of the

more atmospheric of Paris’s food markets. Next I headed toward the Louvre

and the Tuileries Garden, and then along the famous Avenue des Champs

Elysées to Ladurée.

The 45 minute queue was worth the wait when walking inside this macaron

mecca. In addition to these little morsels (bought a box as a gift for a friend –

and one for me - just under A$24 per gift box of 6 ), I just had to have a

pastry. By this time late in the afternoon it was my birthday back home in

Australia so I settled on the St Honoré cake with apple.

Then I took my little bag of goodness to the Trocadero Gardens where I sat

and ate looking at the Eiffel Tower across the river. Bliss.

Evernote is consistently recommended as

one of the most useful apps around. If you

aren’t using it yet, then there are lots of

reasons why you should.

It allows you to save notes, webpages,

photos, files, handwriting notes, audio

recordings, videos and more to folders.

It is so ingenious that when you take

photos of documents, it recognises them as

such and digitises them so that the words in

the text are included in its search function.

It even recognises when the text is a rec-

ipe, and files it automatically in the recipe

folder (if you have one).

It can be synchronised across your

devices, so that you can, for example,

create a document on your computer (be it

a shopping list, contact details or a picture

of warranty details) and it will be accessible

on your tablet or phone.

You can share your notes across face-

book, twitter, linkedin etc, or set up shared

notebooks so that you can work with col-

leagues on the same documents.

There are premium features that give

even more functionality, but the free ver-

sion has so many features you probably

won’t need more.

As with all these apps, the best way to

discover their advantages is to sign up for

a free account and then play around.

There are many add-ons you can

download which have special features that

might suit your needs.

Most people find Evernote easier to use

than google docs, as the interface is intui-

tive and doesn’t force you to change the

format.

more.
