Inside this issue
There is nothing like a
fortnightly deadline to
make a year fly.
We’ve been thrilled
by the support we’ve
received from the com-
munity since our first
edition. It confirms our
belief that people do
want to have a vibrant
local newspaper, run by
locals for locals.
What you see reflected
back at you in these
pages is a community
that cares deeply about
the welfare of others
(witnessed by the large
number of fundraising
events we’ve encouraged
you to attend), a pride in
each other’s achieve-
ments, a preparedness
to get in and make things
happen, and a burgeon-
ing arts and local food
community.
This year has been
stage one in The Bugle’s
development, and the
coming year will see us
expand to include more
news, features and col-
umns.
You can help this hap-
pen by telling businesses
how much you enjoy
reading The Bugle, so
they can join our growing
rank of advertisers.
Once more, thanks!
ONE YEAR
and counting
While Kiama held national
interest with the story of the
imminent collapse of Jerrara
Dam, the call to evacuate
properties downstream was
more of a precaution while
the situation was assessed.
The situation looked more
dire due to the wall having
already been excavated as
part of its long awaited
decommissioning.
“The decommissioning
project is two-thirds of the
way through,” explains
Kiama Council General
Manager Michael Forsyth.
“A section of the wall had
been taken out, the channels
widened and the spillway
lowered.”
To do this work, the dam
had been drained somewhat
so that the water level was
some metres below the new
spillway. Even with that low
starting level, the dam filled
quickly from its small but
steep catchment area.
“The project design for
the decommissioning
worked well, with all of the
factors working as expected
in such a scenario,” says
Mr Forsyth.
The evacuation notice
applied to ten properties,
with two owners on higher
ground choosing to stay.
The students at Minnamurra
Public School were also sent
home due to its location near
the river mouth.
Given the tragedies caused
elsewhere by the speed of
dam collapses, such precau-
tions were justified.
The decommissioning of
the dam is expected to be
completed in four to six
weeks’ time, at a total cost
of $700,000.
Until the arrival of this
East Coast low, August was
shaping up as a dry one. In
the first 24 days, we had
3.8mm of rain. In the next
two, 248.4mm (9¾ inches).
The temporary spillway
Jerrara Creek lapped the gardens of Terragong House

Local tourism operators impress judges
Jamie, Erica and Ross Warren with Jamberoo Pub’s award for
the best Pub/Winery on the South Coast
As The Bugle goes to press, results are coming in from
various sources attending the South Coast Tourism
Awards in Ulladulla.
As far as we can tell, our region has done very well
with Jamberoo Pub winning the Winery/Pub award,
South Coast Holidays winning gold in its Holiday Rental
Services category, The Pavilion Kiama being judged the
best Meetings, Functions & Business Tourism venue,
Gerringong’s Mecure winning the best Executive Accom-
modation, and El Corazon Restaurant being named the
best Tourism Restaurant.
Our apologies if we have missed anyone in the excite-
ment. We understand a number of other operators and
organisations, including Foodscape Tours and Kiama
Show, won silver in their categories.

Real life detective stories Since his retirement, Clive Small
has been writing about his experi-
ences as a senior police officer and
Executive Director of Operations
for the NSW Independent Com-
mission Against Corruption.
He is certainly not short for
material, as his career spanned
the Woodward Royal Commission
into Drug Trafficking, which examined the NSW drug
trade and murder of Donald Mackay; Strike Force Omega
which reinvestigated the 1984 shooting of detective
Michael Drury; the Belanglo Forest backpacker murder
investigation which led to the conviction of Ivan Milat;
and, as head of the Greater Hume Police Region, leading
operations to dismantle the Vietnamese street gangs that
had made Cabramatta NSW's heroin capital.
Details: 5 Sept, from 2.30pm in the
Auditorium under Kiama Library, Railway Parade.
$5 for Friends of Kiama Library members and
$8 for visitors, including afternoon tea.
Opera returning to the Valley Jamberoo CWA Branch has let us know their annual Opera
in the Valley will be on Saturday 17 October.
Last year’s performance by some of opera’s rising stars
was, according to some in the audience, ‘the best show
they had seen’. Add to that wine and cheese being served
during the interval, and a famous CWA supper to follow
the performance, and it will be sure to be a great night out.
More details closer to the date or call Mia on 4236 1913.
Bach in the Dark returns Brilliant cellist, Rachel
Scott, brings her Bach in
the Dark series back to
Kiama, this time with
two of the finest classical
guitarists in the country -
Raffaele and Janet
Agostino.
The exciting program
includes works by Bach,
Boccherrini, De Falla and
Ennio Morricone.
The series’ home is in
the Crypt of Sydney’s St
James’ Church, where the
audience and performers sit
in the dark with nothing to
distract them from the mu-
sic.
When these two guitarists
joined Rachel there in
2013, the concerts sold out
months before.
Details: Sat 12 Sept,
7.30pm, Christ Church.
Ticket $25 from the
Visitors Centre
Food for thought The next speaker at
Spirituality in the Pub
will be Dr Elizabeth
Farrelly, well-known
Sydney columnist and
commentator on archi-
tectural and public
issues. She will address
the topic: Beauty,
Sacredness and Change.
Details: Mon 9 Sept,
Jamberoo Pub, 7.30pm
Aussie poetry greats at Folk by the Sea
Due to popular demand, the organisers of Folk by the Sea
have moved the show Dead Men Talking to the main
auditorium of The Pavilion Kiama on the Saturday
(3-4.30pm) so as not to disappoint any festival goers.
In this critically acclaimed 90 minute stage musical,
Henry Lawson (Max Cullen) and Banjo Paterson (Warren
Fahey) catch-up at the Leviticus Bar & Grill, Heaven's
Gate, and yarn about old times.
If you get in quick (by 29 August) you can get an early
bird two day pass to the festival for $50. After that the
price is $65 for the two days or $60 for a Saturday pass.
Make the most of your ticket by catching the likes of
Christine Anu and Brendan Gallagher, and as much other
folk, world, roots, celtic, bluegrass and gypsy music as
you can take. Take advantage of this great opportunity.
Details: 4-6 Sept, Kiama. Tickets online from

Southern Phone digs deep again Community groups have until 11 September to apply for
funding through the Southern Phone Community Grants
Scheme.
The scheme offers organi-
sations that operate in the
41 councils that collectively
own Southern Phone the
chance to share in $1 million
in funding ($25,000 per
council). The groups nomi-
nate themselves online, then
each council assesses the
grants and makes a recom-
mendation for funding.
Last year Kiama recom-
mended ten applicants to
receive grants in the range
of $950 to $7000 (see box).
The aim of the scheme is
to provide funding for pro-
jects which provide a direct
benefit to the community but
would not usually be funded
by council in its normal
course of business.
Funding will generally
only be extended to legally
constituted, not-for-profit,
non-political and non-advo-
cacy community groups or
organisations.
Eligible bodies with projects in mind can
find out more and make their application at
www.southernphone.com.au/grants
Recipients of last year’s
inaugural grants were:
♦ Kiama-Jamberoo RSL
Sub-branch - renovation
of RSL hall
♦ Kiama Community
Garden - for garden
equipment
♦ Kiama Downs Men’s
Probus Club Inc. - for

♦ Kiama Uniting Church

♦ Lions Club of Kiama -

ment
♦ Sing Australia Kiama -

formances
♦ Jamberoo Valley Rate-

♦ Foxground Landcare -

♦ Girl Guides Rose Valley

No Saddleback Smash this year Disappointingly for its organisers,
the Saddleback Smash has been can-
celled for the second year in a row.
Billed as Australia’s toughest fun
run, the Smash has the potential to
be a must do for the fitness commu-
nity, while raising funds for Rotary.
But these thing take time to build momentum.
Last year’s run was called off at the last minute
due to lack of professional timing equipment,
while this year the event has been unable to secure
a major sponsor.
At their August meeting,
Kiama councillors took a
united stand against what
they see as inappropriate
medium density develop-
ment.
They rejected a DA for a
complex of three 3 bedroom
and one 4 bedroom apart-
ments at 139 Manning St,
because of the lack of
amenity and privacy in the
design.
In particular, the three
metre proximity to the
boundary was of concern as
it would open up the poten-
tial for an unacceptable six
metre distance between it
and any new adjacent devel-
opment.
“We need to draw a line in
the sand,” said Mayor Brian
Petschler at the meeting.
Councillor Mark Honey
said, “I fear in five or ten
years time we will be re-
membered as the council
that built shoeboxes up and
down Manning Street and
destroyed the aesthetics of
the area.”
“We aren’t anti-develop-
ment,” said the Mayor after
the meeting, “But there is
growing unease over the
design and liveability of
developments proposed for
these long and narrow
blocks.”
It was felt that a much
better outcome could be
achieved either by block
consolidation or by a design
that had units facing a cen-
tral courtyard.
Liveability a deciding factor
Kiama Art Show attracts almost 500 entries Cementing its reputation
of being the largest art
exhibition on the South
Coast, the Kiama Art
Society’s 37th Annual
Exhibition has attracted
over 460 entries from
both local and further
afield artists.
“The Show is very
highly regarded,” says
President Judy White.
“We get works of a very
high standard from well
known artists.”
The paintings compete
in a number of catego-
ries, from landscapes
to abstracts, in a variety
of mediums, with two
categories to encourage
young artists. “There is
something for everyone,”
she says.
The works are judged
on the Thursday, with
the winners announced
at the official opening on
Friday night. All of the
works are for sale.
The long awaited local screening of the Orry-Kelly
documentary, Women He’s Undressed, has been
scheduled for Saturday 3rd October as a joint pres-
entation by Pics and Flicks and the Kiama & District
Historical Society.
The screening of the film about the life and
achievements of Kiama’s three time Oscar winner
will be at Gerringong Town Hall. We predict these
tickets will go like hot cakes once they go on sale
at the Visitors Centre for $15.
Orry-Kelly comes home

Stroke: recognize the signs and minimize your risk The National Stroke Foun-
dation is encouraging
everyone to “Be aware,
live healthy and get
checked this September.”
As part of this campaign,
Kiama Library is hosting
a free information session
for National Stroke Week.
The talk will inform
community members of the
signs of a stroke and how
to minimise their own risk.
As the Foundation’s
Chief Executive Officer
Dr Erin Lalor has put it,
“no postcode is untouched
by this disease; it is im-
pacting our families and
communities. However,
many of the more than
50,000 strokes that will
occur this year can be
prevented.’’
The short session will
include a Q & A and be
followed by a free healthy
morning tea.

Rain doesn’t stop
Farmers’ Market Kiama Farmers’ Market’s wet weather venue
– The Pavilion Kiama – came into its own this
week with the intermittent downpours.
The farmers, who had crops to sell what-
ever the weather, enjoyed the luxury of dry
feet for the afternoon.
Win, win situation for all.
The discovery of a drug
manufacturing operation in
quiet suburban Taylor St is a
stark reminder that Kiama is
not immune to the drug
problem facing Australia.
The house was searched
following the arrest of a 55
year old man at Unanderra,
allegedly with 1kg of am-
phetamine and 140g of co-
caine in his car.
On searching his home in
a unit in Taylor St, police
seized 1kg of amphetamine,
136g of cocaine, 119g of
MDMA tablets, 62g of
MDMA powder and a
Ruger semi-automatic rifle.
Acting Inspector Matthew
Glasgow from Lake Illa-
warra Local Area Command
said it was a significant
haul of drugs to be removed
from our local streets.
“It is important for mem-
bers of our community to
report any illegal drug use
or supply, or suspicious
activities occurring by call-
ing your local police station
or Crime Stoppers,” said
Acting Inspector Glasgow.
According to the police,
the signs that indicate a
house may be being used for
drug manufacturing include:
♦ Strange odours emanat-
ing from the property
♦ Diverted electricity
♦ Chemical containers and
waste
♦ Blacked out windows
♦ Hoses and pipes in
strange places
♦ Blinds down, with
extremely bright indoor
lighting radiating
through gaps
♦ Vehicles arriving at odd
hours.
Anyone with information
about suspicious properties
should call Crime Stoppers
on 1800 333 000 or use the
Crime Stoppers online
reporting page:
www1.police.nsw.gov.au.
Information will be treated
in the strictest confidence.

Sorry, no mattresses.
There is still time for you to join the
Regal Regiment’s team for the Sydney
Running Festival on 20 September.
Amy Regal is the driving force behind
the team, determined to help raise
money to fund research into Motor
Neurone Disease.
Her brother, Adam Regal, is the
latest in her family to be diagnosed
with MND and he has become the
public face of the battle for a cure.
You can do your bit by registering for
a marathon, a half marathon, a bridge run or a
family fun run. Fifty people have taken up the
challenge so far, but there’s always room for more.
Last year the Regiment’s run raised around $5000
for Professor Rowe's research team at Macquarie
University working to find a cure for MND.
This year’s sponsors of the team are Kiama Blooms
the Chemist, Redi-lite Solar, Premier Catering
Supplies, Blanchard Haulage and the major sponsor
Harrison and Higgins of Wagga Wagga.
If you aren’t quite up to participating in a running
festival, your donation would be very much appre-
ciated.
Details: To register for the run, go to
www.sydneyrunningfestival.com.au and
join the The Regal Regiment team.

If you’re more into rock
than running, the local

Spread the word it’s

the money raised going
to MND research.

a night to remember.
People were on the dance floor from the start
of the night, with the Footloose Rockers giving
a great demonstration of the steps of the day.
The event was a fundraiser for the 2016 Kiama

for Defence Care Support.
The success of the night was the result of
months of effort by Club members and the gener-
osity of sponsors.

There’s still time to put together a team to
participate in the Kiama Relay for Life,
which raises money for the Cancer Council.
A Team Info Night is being held soon to
encourage more teams to register. As well
as the $20 registration fee, teams undertake
their own fundraising activities.
Minnamurra Mates are one of the many
teams who are returning to take part in this
important community event, with team
members coming back for their fifth year to
walk as a way of acknowledging family and
friends who have suffered from cancer. It’s
a tradition for them to display the names of
the people they are relaying for on a large
bed sheet.
Team member Maryanne Morrison says,
“With so many of my dear family and
friends passing and some still fighting the
fight with this dreadful disease. It is my
way of supporting, remembering and hop-
ing for a cure.”
Their Relay, however, is far from a sol-
emn affair, with Minnamurra Mates using
golf as their recurring theme. Once they
even took turns hitting a plastic golf ball
around for the whole 24 hours…
The Kiama Relay for Life is on
24-25 October, on the fields near the
Kiama Leisure Centre.
Details: Team Info Night Thurs 3 Sept, 7pm
at the Kiama Pavilion. Registrations can
also be made at relayforlife.org.au
by searching for Kiama.
In a former life as a travel writer
and editor for Fairfax, I’d often be
asked where I would go if I weren’t
‘working’. Well, Queensland’s largest
island national park, Hinchinbrook, is
at the top of the list.
I’ve just returned from a seven-day
kayaking trip, paddling 100 kilometres
up the island’s east coast across to
Dunk Island and Mission Beach. I’d
hiked the island’s Thorsborne Trail
twice in the ’90s and stayed at the
once-flash, now-derelict resort on the
island’s northern tip (devastated by
Cyclone Yasi in 2011), so I knew what
to expect: sleeping on a different soft
white sand beach every night, the tent
flap left open to view the rising moon
each evening and the rising sun each
morning; hand-feeding jungle carp in
the pristine swimming hole at the base
of a waterfall; hiking through rainfor-
est to the top of one of the smaller
granite monoliths in the shadow of the
mighty 1142-metre Mt Bowen.
But unlike those previous trips, this
was a ‘soft’ option - a small group tour
for six people led by Coral Sea Kayak-
ing. So apart from unloading the kay-
aks each day and setting up camp,
there was nothing to do but swim,
snorkel, relax and wait for a nightly
miracle as our wonderful guides
conjured up a delicious three-course
dinner (apart from the one reef-fish
we caught, all food was carried with
us in the kayaks).
It was a pleasant surprise not to be
the oldest ‘adventurer’ on one of
these tours - with the youngest guide
at 41 and the oldest couple in their
very active 70s, we were all more or
less the same vintage, and certainly
the same mindset. Laughs and
swapped stories over cheap cask red,
feet kicking the sand of an island
paradise? Priceless.

Interested in growing
your own food?
Kiama-based Milkwood
Permaculture has organised
to hold the introductory
session of its two day Bio-
intensive Growing course at
Gerringong Pubic School -
and to make it even better,
it’s free!
The session will be con-
ducted by Jodi Roebuck, a
New Zealander who special-
ises in growing the most
organic food possible in the
least amount of space.
The biointensive method
he uses is designed to
provide food security for
those who practice it, while
continually building and
developing the soil and con-
serving natural resources.
The result produces safe
food year after year from
the same small space.
As part of the evening,
Gerringong P&C will be
offering hot soup and crusty
bread, for $5, with profits
going towards the school’s
bush tucker garden.
The two day course is on
at Buena Vista Farm.
Details: 18 Sept, 6-8.30pm,
Gerringong Public School.
