A building in Collins St that

has lain vacant for five years

is springing back to life as a

home for emerging retailers.

“We are a co-operative

supporting small businesses

to transition into a shop envi-

ronment without the costs

and commitment a retail

store requires,” says Emily

Gough. “Our goal is to help

them develop their busi-

nesses by giving them a

permanent space rather

than relying on markets.”

With Di McQuade, she has

rented the building, which will ulti-

mately be developed, for an initial

nine months. Each stallholder will

have a three sq metre site, with sales

being made from a central point along

the lines of the big antique markets.

At time of writing, twelve of the

sixteen spaces have been taken up,

offering everything from homewares

and fashion to lighting and vinyl

records. “There will be a good range

of handmade items available, but it

isn’t limited to that,” says Emily.

“We feel it will give an extra dynamic

to the shopping experience in Kiama.”

This initiative is different to the art-

ists’ collective that we have reported

Paula Gowans is behind. A number of

artists have indicated their willingness

to be involved, but they are still look-

ing for a suitable studio space.

Theatre at the Library Get in quick if you want to

Written by New Zealander

Helen Moulder and Austra-

lian Sue Rider, the one

woman play (performed by Helen) focuses on the increas-

ing accumulation of ‘stuff’ in our consumer society and

the far-reaching challenges this presents for society as

a whole, as well as for individuals. How much ‘stuff’ do

we need?

Gloria’s Handbag is a modern magical mystery, with

music from The Magic Flute. Reviews say it is ‘funny,

poignant and thought-provoking’.

Helen has worked in the theatre for 40 years in the UK,

New Zealand and Australia with extensive film and televi-

sion credits to her name.

Details: Thurs 13 August, 7pm at Kiama Library.

All ages are welcome. Tickets are $10 per person or

Let’s talk about death Dying to Know Day is an annual Australian day of action

dedicated to bringing to life conversations and community

actions around death, dying and bereavement.

The aim is to encourage all Australians to:

♦ develop their death literacy

♦ make their end of life plans such as a will and advance

care plan

♦ share these wishes with their families

♦ get informed about end of life and death care options

such as dying at home, home and community led

funerals and natural burial

♦ be better equipped to support family and friends

experiencing death, dying and bereavement.

A Kiama meeting has been

organised to help our com-

munity address these issues.

It will open with brief pres-

entations by local speakers

on:

♦ caring for dementia

♦ palliative care

♦ advance care plans

♦ wills, enduring guardian-

ship and power of

attorney.

Speakers include clinical

nurse Liz Packer, carer

Dianne Swinton, solicitor

Deborah Langton and pall-

iative care doctor Michael

Barbato. Bishop David

Mulready, former Bishop

of the Diocese of North

West Australia, will chair the session. Q&A and general

discussion will follow.

Details: Sat 8 August, 2-4pm. Doors open 1.45pm.

North Kiama Neighbourhood Centre, Meehan Drive. Gold coin

admission. Enquiries Michael Barbato 4233 2643 or 0421 714 048

Did you know? ♦ 75% have not had end

of life discussions

♦ 60% think we don’t talk

about death enough

♦ Over 70% of us die in

hospital though most

of us would prefer to

die at home

♦ Less than 10% of us die

with an Advance Care

plan

♦ The number of Austra-

lians aged 65 and over

will double by 2050

increasing our need

to plan while well and

share our wishes with

our loved ones.

Rescission motion withdrawn Legal advice sought by Council is to the effect that it

would not be possible to take back the approval for Cedar

Grove Stage II.

While Councillor Neil Reilly begs to disagree, in the

interests of moving forward he has withdrawn his rescis-

sion motion and submitted another motion.

He wants Council to investigate and provide a means

of achieving a western access to the development.

“I simply don’t believe that one access is a safe option,”

he says. “There are all sorts of ways that we could fund

another access point.”

The Council next meets on Tuesday 21 July.

Supported by a Kiama Cultural Arts Grant, local artists

Penny Sadubin and Tim Rushby-Smith ran Land Art

workshops for high school aged students from the local

area over the holidays.

Working on Werri Beach and the surrounding area, the

participants explored the idea of making temporary

‘ephemeral art’. During the three day workshop the artists,

who moved to Gerringong from London in 2013, helped

participants explore the themes of Sand & Body, Collec-

tions, and Messages. The young artists worked on their

own pieces and collaborated on collective work.

Young artists shine

Bringing back the Forties With the Kiama Jazz & Blues Club’s annual dance night

less than a month away, people are surveying their ward-

robes to see how they can pull an outfit together with

Forties’ flair.

Deb Langton, Meagan Smillie and Michelle Morrisby

spent a rainy afternoon doing just that, with stunning

results thanks to styling by Meryll Faulkner. Only Captain

Mainwaring’s outfit was hired (Neville Conder).

This year’s Victory Dance theme pays tribute to the men

and women of wartime and the music to which they loved

to dance. The Navy’s 18 piece Admiral’s Own Big Band

will be playing all the classics from the era.

You’ve plenty of time to organise your attire, anything

from an officer to a nurse to the Andrew Sisters, but first

book your tickets as they are selling fast. A portion of

proceeds from the night will be donated to Defence Care.

Details: Sat 15 August, 7pm, The Pavilion Kiama.

The Jeans for Genes national campaign is under way,

with Jeans for Genes Day on Friday 7 August.

CMRI Gerringong has organised a Trivia Night for

that day, as the culmination of their fundraising efforts

(see p2). Before then, they will be selling tickets in their

popular annual denim quilt raffle and Jeans for Genes

merchandise at local shopping centres.

Look for their stalls at IGA Gerringong (24, 25, 31 July

and 6-7 August), Kiama Village (30-31 July ), Dapto Mall

This year’s denim quilt features denim and colourful

appliqués in reds and pinks, made by a talented group of

members. The raffle will be drawn at the Trivia Night.

Above: Three of the quilt’s makers - Rosalie Cronin,

Lorraine Jolley and Maggie Simmons - with the produce of

Expert advice on preserving your family’s stories How often does it happen that someone takes their stories,

part of your family history, with them to their grave?

While you might remember the main fact, the important

details easily escape you or are remembered differently

by others.

Dr Rie Natalenko, author of The Family Memory

Project, will be giving a talk at Kiama Library on how

to gather, record and preserve family stories.

The talk will cover questions and triggers that can

be used to facilitate storytelling, coping with common

objections people have to telling stories, approaches to

recording stories and the best ways to store all your

research.

Dr Natalenko is an award winning screenwriter, novel-

ist, poet and short filmmaker, and is passionate about the

importance of family history.

Details: Sat 8 August, Auditorium underneath Kiama

Library, 2.30-4pm Tickets $5 each, all ages welcome. Carol Jagger of Kiama sent in this picture of an

amazing cloud event in early July. “I just had to

pull over and take a picture,” she says. “It’s like

someone falling from ‘heaven’ through the clouds

if you use your imagination.” Or a hole in the

ozone. Or a tornado forming…

If you too are a fan of clouds, you might be

interested in the Cloud Appreciation Society.

The manifesto of this wonderfully quirky group

says, amongst other things, ‘We pledge to fight

‘blue-sky thinking’ wherever we find it. Life would

be dull if we had to look up at cloudless monotony

day after day.’ www.cloudappreciationsociety.org

or check out their facebook page.

Without wanting to ‘do a

Bowral’ where so many

places claim a connection

with Don Bradman, the

little blue house between

Christchurch and the Brigh-

ton, slated for demolition,

does have a connection

with our celebrated son

Orry-Kelly.

While the house isn’t on

the heritage list, it is the site

of a house where Orry-

Kelly grew up. His family

lived there after the 1899

Terralong St fire destroyed

his father’s shop (about

where Laconia is now).

His father operated his tailor

business on the ground floor

of a two storey building.

According to Sue Eggins

of the Kiama & District

Historical Society, Orrey’s

autobiography describes his

childhood and youth there

in great detail. He lived

there until he left in his late

teens for the bright lights

of Sydney and then Holly-

wood.

With Women He’s Un-

dressed now on general

release, it is still not clear

when a screening will hap-

pen locally. Talks with the

distributor continue.

If you can’t wait and want

to go to Sydney to see it,

the initial screenings are

on at Palace Verona, Palace

Norton Street, Hayden

Orpheum Cinema Cremorne

and Roseville Cinema.

A DA has been lodged

to demolish the little house

to build a larger dwelling, to

take advantage of the views.

Orry-Kelly lived on this spot

Meet Hilton Bloomfield, the new President

of the Lions Club of Kiama. Although

relatively new to Lions, having joined four

years ago after moving down permanently,

he has a wealth of strategic planning

experience to bring to the organisation.

After 35 years with the NAB group, his

final role was General Manager of Custom

Credit during the winding up of the

company. He then went on to be Chief

Executive of Scouting Australia NSW

for eight years, before spending two years

as the senior executive officer of the

22nd Asia Pacific Jamboree held at

Cataract Scout Park in 2001.

The event had a $6.5 million budget,

and brought together 9500 teenagers from

20 countries with the help of 2500 volun-

teers. Hilton was responsible for the build-

up and administration of the event, which

made a small surplus.

He takes over the presidency from

Peter Scifleet, who led the Club through

a very successful year which saw it donate

$55,000 to a total of 49 local recipients.

Members also lent their physical support

to almost thirty activities and events,

including working bees, Relay for Life and

setting up the Art Society’s annual show.

Lions’ major fundraising events for the

year continue were the Kiama Lions Race

Day at Kembla Grange, the Trivia Night

and BBQs at Kiama Seaside Markets.

They also operate the Driver Reviver stop

on the highway at Dunmore.

Hilton recently facilitated a Members

Ideas Forum which identified many poten-

tial initiatives. The majority of these have

been included in the Club’s program for

coming year.

“They are aimed at further improving

members’ active participation, encouraging

the entry of new members and further ex-

panding our community service and youth

development involvement,” he explains.

In his term as President, Hilton is focus-

sing on friendship and fun for the Club’s

67 members, effective fund raising,

community service, local youth develop-

ment support and lifting the local profile

of the Lions Club of Kiama. He is looking

forward to having a simple but effective

approach to all that the Club undertakes

through its members over the next year.

The Club meets twice a month, with a

dinner and guest speaker.

Details: Anyone interested in joining Lions

can contact Hilton on 0413 834 248

New President for Kiama Lions Neighbourhood Watch gets green light As a result of a recent public meeting, it was decided

to set up Neighbourhood Watch groups for Kiama and

Kiama Downs.

A small committee has been formed, under the leader-

ship of Ann Millard, to organise how to best move for-

ward. Monthly meetings need to be scheduled, venues and

speakers booked, and a communications program devised.

“While the police are there to provide advice, it is up to

the community to implement their own Neighbourhood

Watch program,” explains Ann. “We want to encourage

people to get back to the spirit of working together to look

after each other.”

She sees it very much as

a pro-active community

engagement program rather

than scare-mongering.

“Together we can make

Kiama a safer place to live

by just adopting a few

simple practices and keep-

ing an eye out,” says Ann.

“Once the word gets out that we have a strong Neighbour-

hood Watch mentality, the crime rates will drop.”

The organisers are already using facebook to help

people look out for each other and their property.

A Kiama Community Neighbourhood Watch page has

been set up so that people can share information about

emergency warnings, traffic updates, extreme weather

warnings, missing persons, suspicious activity, safety tips,

general security and crime related posts in a timely fash-

ion - facebook.com/groups/KiamaNHW

Gerringong has long had Neighbourhood Watch.

Details: The Committee welcomes more members to help

the initiative gain momentum quickly. If you would like

to be involved, but don’t have access to facebook, please

contact Ann on 0411 843 774 to register your interest.

Grant for Jamberoo RFS generator Jamberoo Rural Fire

Brigade is to receive

$5,000 toward the

purchase of a new

generator from the

state government.

The $5,000 grant will

contribute toward the

cost and installation of

a permanent back-up

generator at the Jamb-

eroo Rural Fire Station

and enhance the brig-

ade’s capacity to re-

spond to emergencies.

The station’s existing

generator can only

power a few essential

appliances during black-

outs and not all the

services in the station.

“During times of local

emergencies, such as

strong winds and floods,

Jamberoo Rural Fire

Station is used as a local

emergency control cen-

tre and it is critical they

have the best resources

available,” the NSW

Minister for Emergency

Services, David Elliott,

said.

You don't need me to tell you that in

Paris, beauty is everywhere.

It's in the city's DNA, and it doesn't

hold back from reminding you so at

every turn. As a makeup artist, Paris,

being the fashion capital of the world,

is like a dream.

For 18 years now, I have loved and

used French makeup Atelier Maquil-

lage and so this trip I was lucky enough

to visit the brand's headquarters, a

pretty special moment for me.

While there, I undertook a master-

class in fashion makeup and was very

privileged to have runway makeup art-

ist Yvette Yvette as my mentor - it was

such a thrill to work with her, update

my techniques and create new looks

based on

upcoming

fashion and

beauty

trends.

When in

Paris, you

must shop,

of course!

Lucky, I am

staying very

near the gorgeous tree-framed Boule-

vard Haussmann, which is near the

iconic, beautiful and very, tempting

Galeries Lafayette. Which I had to

visit, not only to shop, but to also have

a delicious glass of their best cham-

pagne and gaze up to the majestic

Chrysalides dome, which is over 100

years old. I am told this art deco

building is the second biggest tourist

attraction after the Eiffel Tower in

Paris... I can see why, it is no doubt

one of the most beautiful stores in

the world.

I have also fallen in love with the

many little pâtisseries on every

corner, where all of the best (and

naughtiest) French pasties are baked.

The windows and counters are a deli-

cious haze of sugar, chocolate and

crème marvels. With all of my senses

overflowing from so much beauty,

style, colour, history and mouthwater-

ing delights, it's very hard not to be

seduced by Paris. I can see why they

call it the City of Love.

For ten years, Strategic

Assistance for Refugee

Families (SCARF) has sup-

ported people from refugee

background (humanitarian

visa entrants) to settle into

the Wollongong area.

It is a not-for-profit organi-

sation led by a volunteer

management committee and

doesn’t receive government

funding. Their programs are

very practical and include

helping with homework and

getting people’s driving

hours up.

If you missed their recent

fundraising tins at local

businesses, you might like

to consider these other ways

of helping their cause:

♦ Donate funds through

their website

www.scarf1.org.au

♦ Volunteer as a mentor,

tutor, trainer or a commit-

tee member. Find an op-

portunity to match your

skills and interests here.

♦ Become a corporate

supporter and show that

your workplace or busi-

ness supports new arri-

vals. Learn more about

how you can help here.

♦ Use your creative talents.

Donate artwork or find a

new masterpiece to treas-

ure at ART4refugees.

♦ Fundraise for SCARF

and support our work

with the community.

To find out more about

SCARF’s work and their

range of programs, visit

their website.

If you have time to

volunteer your skills to

assist families, you are

encouraged to call SCARF

on 4227 1600.
