The BugleThe BugleThe BugleThe Bugle Addisons sold: End of an era As the news spreads around town that the Addi-

son family has sold their garage, the reaction

from many is disbelief.

While details are still sketchy, The Bugle can

confirm the property has been sold to a family

from the Wingecarribee, and the petrol/

newsagent/retail business on-leased to another

party trading as Kiama Fuels. The Addisons are

in the process of clearing out their effects, but

are not running the business any more.

Fred Addison built his service station on

Manning St (then the Princes Highway) back in

1952, with the help of his father and mother’s

uncle who were both master builders.

For many years, it was the only petrol station

in town, surviving the pressures that saw the

other ten operating in Kiama’s heyday close.

During its prime, Fred operated a car dealer-

ship (notably selling Austins and Leylands),

amongst other things. Its proximity to Kiama

High meant that he also sold an extraordinary

amount of lollies to generations of locals.

A few years ago, Addisons bought Cohen’s

Newsagency business, which it relocated to the

service station. Last year, Fred hung up his fa-

mous green overalls for the last time and moved

to live at a retirement home in Queenbeyan near

his daughter Lisa. He will turn 87 in December.

“People say to me that it’s strange not having

him here, but no one feels that more than us,”

says daughter Wyn Addison. “Our main reason

for selling is simply that it is not the same with-

out Dad here.

“The petrol industry is so different now, it has

been a big ask to keep it going without him.”

Rumours that Harts Garage in Gibbs St has

also been sold are without foundation.

Opponents of the Noble Brothers’

plans to incorporate leased public

land into the development of their

property in Gerringong CBD have

collected 1200 signatures on a peti-

tion against the move.

As reported in The Bugle’s last

edition, the

Nobles have a

98 year lease with

Council for the

land, as the result

of helping imple-

ment a commun-

ity developed

plan for the vil-

lage (called a

Charrette).

Initially the

South Precinct

urged Council to rescind its owner’s

consent, but this proved not to be

possible as the DA had already been

lodged and accepted.

The Precinct’s committee has

since focused its energy on getting

submissions lodged before the ex-

piry of the public exhibition period.

It is understood a number of sub-

missions were lodged by individu-

als, as well as one from the Precinct.

In his submission, former council-

lor Howard Jones said, amongst

other things, “It is highly arguable

that the ‘public benefit’ derived

from the lease (already minimal at

$1 per year for use of the land), is

totally negated by the area of Lot 52

[the leased land] being totally incor-

porated within the 98 Fern Street

business for a period of 98 years.

“There is a strong argument that

the Council should be insisting on a

much better return to the community

from the lease of Lot 52.”

In its submission, the Precinct

says “the proposal completely

ignores the 1995 Charrette findings

of protecting ‘the best view in town

for public use’ created on a new

‘public plaza’.

“The DA offers only the patrons

of the café this experience, therefore

excluding the general community

and tourists.”

The Precinct believes that the

clause in the lease that states ‘all

tables and chairs be removed at the

end of each day’ is crucial to the

situation, as it supports the idea of

a public plaza after hours. The pro-

posed blocked access denies this

purpose. A website gives their case:

savewerriviews.happenings.id.au

It is expected that the DA will

not come before Council until its

November meeting at the earliest.

Opera lovers in for a treat For the 17th year running, Jamberoo CWA is hosting

Opera in the Valley. The event’s coordinator, Glenn

Amer, predicts this year’s opera will be one of the

best ever. “We are lucky

to have Glenn on board

again as our musical

director to help make

this year’s concert

another success,” says

CWA President Mia Dufty.

“Our branch is proud and

grateful for the opport-

unity to work with such

a talented artist.”

Glenn’s experience in the industry is too extensive

to detail, but since being selected to participate

in several studios in London at age thirteen, he has

been heavily involved with the music scene both in

Australia and abroad, including being the headline

entertainer for some of the world’s most recognis-

able cruise lines. His ‘Liberace’ style on the piano

has made him a sought after accompanist for many

well-known singers worldwide and he has recorded

his own albums.

Glenn’s connections within the industry have

helped to recruit a number of talented opera artists

for this year’s event, including baritone Javier

Vilañero, tenor Glenn Winsdale, mezzo soprano

Agnes Saskia, and soprano Adele Johnston.

Tickets include wine & cheese at interval and the

famous CWA supper served after the performance,

where the audience will have a chance to mingle

with the performers.

Details: Sat 17 October, Jamberoo School of Arts.

Tickets are $45 and can be purchased at

This year’s Kiama Relay For Life Commit-

tee includes a new member, Hannah

Hutchison, who is not only bringing a

younger perspective to their activities but is

also able to represent the people who have

benefited from the Cancer Council’s work.

When just twenty three years old, Hannah

was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma, one

of the rarest forms of cancer which usually

occurs near to

the joints of the arm, neck or leg. She says

one of the most difficult parts was finding a

way to tell her family and friends about her

diagnosis.

She felt helpless and weak; even though it

wasn’t her fault she felt like

her diagnosis was punishing everyone in

her life.

Her arduous cancer treatments meant she

had to undergo many surgeries, including

having a toe amputated. Despite this hard-

ship Hannah stayed positive and was happy

to find how encouraging her family and

friends were for her as a support system.

“I am so grateful for the support Cancer

Council NSW gave to me and my family in

many ways through this time,” she said.

“They even paid for travel and accommo-

dation so my family could be there for my

surgery.”

Today, Hannah has been cancer free for

two years. She says the reason she decided

to volunteer for the Kiama Relay for Life

committee is because she wants to try to

give back to them since they were there to

give so much to her when she needed it.

“Hannah’s fortitude inspires us to come

together as a community at Kiama Relay

For Life and continue to fight towards

the defeat of cancer,” says fellow RFL

Committee member Steve Dalton.

Thirty two teams are registered for the

Kiama event, and there are fundraising

activities happening all around town to

reach this year’s ambitious goal of

$120,000.

Details: You can still register to

participate in the Kiama Relay For Life,

Oct 24-25 at the oval near the Leisure

Centre. Join in for $20

or help the various teams with

their fundraising events for

Cancer Council NSW.

Gerringong’s family history

will come to life at Gerrin-

gong and District Historical

Society’s annual Cemetery

Walk, when descendants of

pioneers share their family

histories.

Gerringong General

Cemetery was the first pub-

lic cemetery in the Munici-

pality of Jamberoo, Kiama

and Gerringong, with Evan

Campbell the first to be bur-

ied there, in 1864. Situated

on the headland at the end

of Belinda St, it is one of

the most picturesque resting

places in the world.

Those who attend the

Cemetery Walk will be

placed into groups, which

will visit in turn the various

graves being highlighted.

At the designated points,

speakers will have photos

and memorabilia to help

bring their ancestors to life.

This year Ken Mitchell

will be talking about the

Mitchell family; Margaret

McIntosh will tell stories

of the Bourke family; Phil

Bailey will introduce you

to the Bailey family; while

Malcolm Chittick will be

explaining the exploits of

his family.

Margaret Sharpe will be at

the grave of James Mackey

Gray, one of the very earli-

est settlers; Alan Miller will

talk about the Grahams, his

mother’s family; and there

will also be visits to the

Noble and Wilson family

graves, and those of the

Williamsons and Cookes.

The cemetery is on steeply

sloping ground, so best to

wear walking shoes, and

to bring a hat, water and

sunscreen. Last year the

day ended with display from

passing whales, but there’s

no guarantees of a repeat.

Details: Sunday 18 October,

1.30-3.30 pm.

Bookings are essential.

Please ring Margaret Sharpe

on 4234 1127.

$5 per head, to be paid

on the day.

Neighbourhood Watch: Do your bit to reduce theft from cars According to Mark Scott, the Crime Prevention Officer at

Lake Illawarra Area Command, 60 per cent of cars that

have valuable property stolen from them are unlocked.

He’s right behind the first campaign by the fledgling

Kiama Neighbourhood Watch to encourage people to lock

their cars whenever they leave them. “It is a simple but

effective way to make a big difference, not only for our-

selves but for our whole area,” he says. “If criminals find

cars unlocked they are more likely to hunt around

neighbouring cars and homes as well.”

Contrary to perceptions, fuelled recently by media hype

over wrongly interpreted statistics, Kiama’s crime rates

continue to be low. In Sep-

tember, police were called

to four assaults, four break

and enters, three cases of

malicious damage and

fifteen stealing events.

However the head of the

Illawarra Command,

Wayne Starling, warned

against this situation

breeding complacency. “We want to be known as an area

that takes care of its valuables,” he says.

Superintendent Starling was encouraging of the efforts

the new Neighbourhood Watch group have made so far,

by holding monthly meetings and setting up a facebook

group. “These things take time to gain momentum, and

you have made a very positive start,” he said.

Operating under the principles of Take It, Hide It or

Lock It, Kiama Neighbourhood Watch has produced a

checklist of reminders about small but effective actions.

The group is looking for more people who would like to

have active involvement in making Kiama safer. Contact

Sharon at the North Kiama Neighbourhood Centre.

Gerringong Community Christmas Food Drive Once again, the Anglican, Catholic and Uniting Churches

of Gerringong are combining efforts to collect food and

funds for Wesley Mission Wollongong to distribute to the

less fortunate at Christmas.

Most packed and tinned food is acceptable but please

ensure that it will still within use-by date at Christmas.

Money can also be given; these donations are tax deducti-

ble and receipts can be arranged. This money is then dis-

tributed in the form of vouchers.

Brochures and bags will be distributed to letterboxes in

the area from mid-October, so that people can fill them

and either deliver them to homes designated as drop-off

points or leave them at Khans IGA during October.

Those looking to relive the era of steam trains will

be excited to hear Lachlan Valley Railway Society

has scheduled a series of Kiama Picnic Train trips.

Vintage steam locomotive 5917, once a regular

taking tourists to Kiama during the 1970s and 80s,

will be coming to town again. The steam locomotive

was built in the US in 1952 and ran in NSW Govern-

ment service for 20 years. It was rescued from the

scrapper’s torch and now operates under the Lach-

lan Valley Railway banner.

The locomotive will be pulling a 1930s heritage

train, featuring open-windowed carriages, ornate

varnished wood interiors, traditional NSW promo-

tional photographs and etched mirrors.

The not-for-profit railway preservation society is

based in Cowra and is devoted to the preservation

and operation of various examples of NSW Govern-

ment Railway trains.

The day trips from Central will give people three

hours to enjoy Kiama before heading back. For those

just wanting to watch, the trains are scheduled to

arrive at 12.25pm and depart at 4.20pm.

There is also limited opportunity to book a ticket

to hop on the train at Thirroul or Wollongong and

come down and back for the day.

Details: Sundays - 18 and 25 October; 8 and 15 November

Tickets from Sydney Adults $65; Cons $55;

Child (2-15) $45; Family of 4 $190

Tickets from Thirroul or Wollongong:

Adult $45; Conc $40; Child (2-15) $35; Family of 4 $135

It is also possible to book a compartment for 8 people.

Picnic train tradition set to be revived

Farmers’ Market amongst finalists .The Kiama Farmers’ Market has been announced as a

finalist in the NSW Regional Achievement & Community

Awards.

The Awards, sponsored by the Commonwealth Bank

and Prime 7, applaud and encourage those working in

rural and regional areas helping to support and enhance

social, economic, commercial or environmental prosperity

of their region.

As the organisers say, “Awards such as these create an

opportunity to say thank you to businesses, community

groups and individuals who work tirelessly in developing

their chosen fields of endeavour.” The Awards night is

in Dubbo in mid-November, with a prize of $2,500.

Once again this year the Market is participating in the

SMH Good Food Month by holding a special market on

Sunday 11 October. Like last year’s market, it is an oppor-

tunity to showcase the produce of the South Coast to the

Sydney market (as well as giving locals who can’t make

Wednesdays a chance to attend). 10-2pm, Black Beach.

A treat for rose lovers According to Robert Curll, President of the Illa-

warra Rose Society, the erratic weather we’ve

experienced of late has not detrimentally affected

the coming rose season. Quite the opposite in fact.

“Indications are that it is going to be a bumper

season in Kiama,” he says. “I was down at Peace

Park the other day and in a week’s time there will

be a whole avenue of glorious pink.”

This is great news for local growers planning on

entering in the Society’s 2015 Spring Rose Festival,

as it might just give them an edge over exhibitors

from Sydney and further afield.

Details: Sat 24 October, 12-5pm

and Sun October 25, 9-4pm, at the

Jamberoo School of Arts, Allowrie St.

Admission $3, Concession $2.

October is Mental Health Month, and this year’s

theme is Value Your Mind.

The message we are happy to pass on is for us all

to prioritise our mental health and wellbeing just

as much as we would to maintain our physical and

social health. When we make our mental health a

priority, we are actively practicing self-care, which

is an important part of our daily life. Similar to be-

ing physically healthy, maintaining a healthy mind

helps to prevent mental illness and other issues

that can make daily living a struggle and it also

allows for a positive lifestyle.

Each year the Mental Health Association NSW

releases a new set of 10 Stress Less Tips based on

health evidence and research. This year’s tips are

shown right.

If stress is getting to you then consider cutting

this out and taking small steps to implement the

tips into your life. They could make a difference.

Remember professional help is available if you

need it. Your GP is a good first stop.

Simmons’ family home on market

Illadee has been home to four generations of the Simmons family since it was built in

1907. The 1850sqm property, on the corner of Manning and Barney Sts, is now up for

auction. The house has all its period features, including pressed metal ceilings. While

the house is local heritage listed, the L shaped property has potential to be subdivided and

developed. Last year, the Simmons brothers also sold their Mitre 10 property to Council.

Out & about

It was the night that Kiama finally came together to honour its famous son -

the extraordinarily talented Orry-Kelly who against all odds became the toast

of Hollywood as a costume designer.

The film, Women He’s Undressed, was premiered at the Sydney Film Festival

earlier in the year but has only just been approved for a screening (or two)

here by Pics and Flicks and the Kiama & District Historical Society.

The Society’s Sue Eggins, who provided valuable background history to the

producers, introduced the film and the audience was charmed to see her cred-

ited at the film’s end, above Angela Lansbury. The story is told with a great

focus on Kiama, with consistent references in the storytelling and through the

repeated use of a boat called Kiama as a narrative tool.

A exhibition featuring Orry-Kelly’s designs and ten of his costumes is on

display at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne until early

January 2016, after which it is hoped that it will move to Wollongong.

At the Orry-Kelly screening At an exhibition celebrating Minnamurra Rainforest

The opening featured a Welcome to Country

from the Illawarra Flame Trees, an all young

aboriginal women performance and leadership

group, followed by a rendition of the National

Anthem in local aboriginal language and a

spectacular dance performance celebrating

The artists: Greg Vale, Karen Wright and Jamie

Cole (absent Mark Lucas). Twenty of their works

on display were sold.

Over 70 people attended the

opening of Celebrating the

Rainforest, a joint exhibition

by four local artists. In keeping

with the theme, Dr Kevin Mills, an

expert on the Illawarra rainforests,

spoke about the history of rainfor-

ests in the area and the importance

of the rainforest to biodiversity and

tourism in the Kiama region and

$500 was raised for the Friends of

the Minnamurra Rainforest.

Glenda and Bill Go Greek

A cold and wet Kiama was thank-

fully left behind as we were shoe-

horned onto the flight to spend

our first night in a balmy Istanbul-

then it was a flight down to Bod-

rum, the gateway to the southern

Greek islands.

It was getting hotter and hotter

with what seemed like zero

humidity as we scootered and

enjoyed the islands - striking little

Symi, lovely Kos, majestic Patmos,

grand Rhodes, beautiful Lipsi and

glorious Leros - many of

the islands are relatively small

and easy to explore with isolated

and cute little tavernas next to

them (highly recommended with

a cold Rose).

The little Greek ferries were

very kind to us and ran like Ger-

man trains while the Greek people

were so friendly and helpful even

though they are under pressure

from the large number of people

coming across from the East to

escape the conflicts there.

Everyday was Groundhog Day -

warm water and high tempera-

tures and we tried not to feel let

down when there was one cloud

in the sky for part of one day.

Finished off with a couple of

days back in Istanbul for shopping

and luggage filling (see Glenda

about that).

We loved the Yasmak Sultan

Hotel in the old town with views

to die for from the rooftop break-

fast room. It was a great holiday

but still nice to come home to

Kiama - God's Country.

Berry will have more than

its normal quotient of

beards when the inaugural

Fairgrounds Festival

springs up in town in early

December.

The boutique festival

will feature a hipster

musicians from around the

world and be accompanied

by local artisan food and

drinks, films, markets and

other activities.

The organisers are billing

it as ‘the perfect weekend

for the young and the young at heart’.

The headline acts are from America: the uber-cool

American musician Father John Misty (pictured), rock-

tronica duo Ratatat and CW Stoneking. To give you an

idea of his status, Father John’s only concert in Sydney

is in the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall.

The music happens on the Saturday, but there’s a free

film night on the Friday featuring My Neighbour Totoro,

a cult Japanese animated fantasy film, and Searching for

Sugarman.

Details: Sat 5 December, Berry Showgrounds

Tickets are available now at www.moshtix.com.au

for $120. Under 12s free.
