Inside this issue
The BugleThe BugleThe BugleThe Bugle Reilly quits Labor Party Neil Reilly joined the ALP
in 2004 after what he saw as
the Howard Government’s
appalling treatment of
refugees. He is leaving the
Party over the same dearly
held human rights
principles.
“My values
haven’t changed,
but the values of
the Party have,”
he says.
“I no longer want
to be associated
with a Party pre-
pared to sacrifice
dearly held princi-
ples for a few
more votes.”
He believes that in the
future we will look back
on this period, of putting
children in detention and
ignoring international con-
ventions, in the same way
as we are ashamed of the
policies that produced the
Stolen Generation.
“In 2007 our policies over
refugees were quite differ-
ent, but the Party has weak-
ened since then,” he says.
His decision was clinched
by the plight of the young
Iranian hunger striker close
to death in a Perth hospital.
“Our lack of compassion
will bring disrepute on us
from around the world.
I’ve been waiting in vain for
Labor to differentiate itself
and take the moral high-
ground. It hasn’t, and I am
not prepared to give up on
my core beliefs.”
Councillor Reilly, who
stood three times as Labor
candidate for the Federal
seat of Gilmore, has been
disenchanted with the Labor
Party’s factional system for
some time.“Labor should be
the party of equity and ideas,
but it isn’t because of the
way that it is run.”
Reilly holds his seat on
Council as an independent,
as he does not believe that
party politics has a role in
local government.
He says he has great
respect for party members
who are prepared to keep
fighting to change things
from within. He is too dis-
illusioned to believe that
change will happen this way.
“I’ll continue to be an
activist, but it will be on my
terms,” he says.
Sullivan brothers to pay their respects at Gallipoli When Kevin Sullivan Senior, 84, won
two tickets in the ballot to enable him to
be at Gallipoli for the 100th Anniversary,
he couldn’t believe his luck. Over 42,000
people applied for the 8,000 places reserved
for Australians that day.
While his father, James Sullivan, was
not at Gallipoli, he served with distinction
on other European battlefields during the
Great War. He was a member of the 53rd
Battalion which left Sydney in November
1915 to join the British Imperial Forces.
He fought on the front at the Battle of
Fromelle, Fleurbaix, the Somme, Bulle-
court, Poziers, Polygon Wood, The Hinden-
burg Line, Villers-Brettonneux, Perrone
and Flanders. He was wounded twice and
was promoted several times on the field,
finally receiving his commission as
Lieutenant. He was also mentioned in
despatches.
James arrived safely back in Australia
in July 1919, returning to Cargo (west of
Orange) to have a family of ten children.
His children and their children have never
forgotten his bravery and the hardships
endured. All of Kevin’s branch of the
family have lived in Kiama for some time.
Since getting news of the ballot win last
year, Kevin’s health, and that of his wife,
deteriorated to the extent that he realised
he would be unable to attend the ceremony.
“There is going to be a bit too much
walking and being out in the cold for me
to cope with,” he says regretfully.
His disappointment is tempered with the
delight that his sons Kevin Junior (who was
originally to accompany him as his carer)
and Christopher are being allowed to go
in his place.
Following their trip to Gallipoli, the Sulli-
van brothers will travel to Normandy and
retrace the movements of their grandfather,
who they remember as Pop, utilising his
military record.
“My brother and I are so excited to be
taking this trip of a lifetime, to be present
at Gallipoli on the 100th anniversary of the
ANZAC landing and then to follow in our
Grandfather’s footsteps,” says Kevin Jnr.
The commemorations are being planned
with military precision, to ensure the
experience is a fitting tribute.

Keep in mind we are
published fortnightly,
and like to let people
know about things
well ahead of time so
they don’t miss out.
Kiama artist Greg Martin Vale has a solo exhibition
of his work at the Minnamurra Café until 26 April.
Drop in and enjoy the breadth of his work, which
features many local scenes.
Save the date Barely is the 2015 Festival
over than the hard working
team at the Jazz & Blues
Club are planning their
next big show.
Keep Sat 15 August free
for a 40s themed Victory
Dance, billed as a tribute
the men and women who
went to war. Given the
success of their Gatsby and
New Orleans nights in
previous years, this one
promises to again pack out
The Pavilion.
You’ve plenty of time
to brush up on your dance
steps.
Kiama Farmers’ Market moves to winter hours
In its inaugural year, the
Kiama Farmers’ Market
tried valiantly to keep
to its usual trading hours
once Daylight Saving
ended, but it soon got
too dark to trade
(although the lamplight
needed did add a touch
of European atmosphere
to the proceedings!).
This year’s Winter trad-
ing hours of 2-5pm have
started already, just like
the winter winds.
Don’t forget that the
Market now has a wet
weather option at The
Pavilion, if absolutely
necessary.
Wartime songs live again If you missed Jamberoo

Gerringong to come Alive again The organisers of last
year’s sell-out Beats n Eats
night are at it again. Music
lovers are in for some foot
stomping with The Soor-
leys coming to town.
This tousled bohemian
outfit, made up of sisters
Beth, Laura, Shelley and
Millie, with husbands Sam
and Christopher in tow.
They call it ‘fun folk’;
the raw stomp of their Irish
ancestors and the pop
sensibilities of Fleetwood
Mac. Onstage the sisters
spin, hoot and holler with
joy and abandon as they
sing, chanting incantations
atop folk rhythms.
Who better to support
these travelling minstrels
than Kiama’s award win-
ning folk and indie singer
song writer Joe Mungovan.
At just 19 years of age
Joe had already shared
stages with some of Aust-
ralia’s most well known
acts including The Prea-
tures, Ian Moss, Mark Sey-
mour, Glenn Shorrock and
Christine Anu. Joe has
also played pre-show enter-
tainment for Neil Young,
Gotye, Paul Simon and
Sting.
There will also be sup-
port from local up and
coming duo Ben Fryer and
Ella Schipp.
The format will follow
the last event, with an
optional dinner component.
Our recommendation is
to get in quick to secure
your tickets.

Is crime up your alley? Ken Methold is a man who
likes a good crime novel.
And he’s looking for other
men to form a Men’s
Crime Club so they can
meet monthly to discuss
books they have read.
“Most of the book clubs
around have a majority of
women members, and crime
novels aren’t often their
book of choice,” he says.
“A lot of men read this
specialty genre all the time,
and it would be great to have
someone to discuss it with.”
The plan is to meet at lunchtime on the last Thursday of
the month. Rather than reading a set book, members will
continue to read books of their own selection. By giving
the members of the group a review of their books, they
will help each other with future must-reads. A list of the
latest well reviewed titles will also be circulated.
Currently Ken is re-reading Lionel Davidson’s books,
which are crime mixed with espionage. He highly recom-
mends the books of Australian crime writer Garry Disher,
in particular Bitter Wash Road.
Details: If you’d like to join the group,
contact Ken via email - [email protected]
Let’s give Ellie another hand
In our last edition we mentioned that Ellie Burnett had succeeded in raising
$13,000 for the Leukaemia Foundation, but that has since increased to $15,000!
That’s more than enough reason to show you this delightful after photo.

Introducing Blue Haven Care Kiama Council has long had a commitment to providing
services for our aging population, from helping people
stay in their own homes longer to providing independent
living units and nursing home facilities.
Until now though, these services have been run by
separate bodies within Council, leading to perception
problems. “We want to make it obvious that we are pro-
viding a continuum of care for the aged, so we are bring-
ing all of our services under the Blue Haven Care banner,”
says Clare Rogers, Director of Community Services.
Blue Haven Care was chosen to leverage off the most
widely recognised of the Council’s operations. The oper-
ations of Illawarra In-Home Support, which provides
services to assist people to live independently in their
own homes, and provides respite programs to support
carers, will merge with those of Blue Haven to create a
continuous process for those in need.
“The change will position us better to meet future
demands on our services,” says Ms Rogers.
To mark the reorganisation, Council is holding a launch
which will showcase the breadth of its commitment to
aged care, with a special line-up of guest speakers,
entertainment and stalls (with information about aged
care, disability services, the Kiama Hospital site and the
Dementia Friendly trial).
There will also be the opportunity to tour Blue Haven
Care Home and Blue Haven Village that afternoon.
Details: Mon 27 April, 10.15 for 10.45 start.
Members of the public are invited to attend, but an rsvp
is needed by 17 April for catering purposes.

Get into
your Garden It’s definitely autumn
vegie planting time now and no-one’s garden is
too small to grow some
veg and herbs. This week we got a brand
new range of Vegepod
vegie beds. They are self-watering, covered pods
that make growing vegies possible in all homes, even
if you’ve only got a small
balcony or a courtyard. They are fully contained,
simple and really do work.
There are sizes to suit most gardeners.
So, what to plant now? Now the weather is cooler
it’s a good time to plant
out greens to support the immune system – kale,
lettuces, collards, broccoli,
mizuna, radish, rocket and silverbeet all go in now.
It’s also time for turnip, climbing beans and peas,
carrot, cauliflower, beet-
root, parsnip, potatoes, garlic, leeks and onions.
Now’s the time to rip out your tomatoes and cucur-
bits– they are as good as
finished and are taking up space better used by cool-
season growing plants.
There’s also better uses now for your basil pot so
turn your basil into pesto and plant out herbs that
you’ll use over winter -
oregano, thyme, parsley, chives. Dig in some com-
post and/or manure.
There are plenty of good commercial additives
we’re happy to sell you too but if nothing else at least
make sure you’ve added a
bit of JamberooMooPoo. Hopefully you’ve already
got a crop of Green Man-
ure in and up by now (no, it’s not poo, it’s a combo
of nitrogen-rich legume plants you can dig back
into your vegie garden
prior to sowing, or along-side your winter plantings).
If not, yes, we’ve got still
got it for $9 a bag and yes, there’s still time.
If you do need to spell a garden bed, remember
those green manure crops
really are great for no fuss weed control and could
be your secret weapon for improved flavour and vig-
our of your next harvest.

The bell tower of Christchurch, the little white church
at the end of Terralong St, was built as a memorial to
the fallen of World War I. It is fitting then that people
will pass through it on their way to a service to mark the
100th Anniversary of the ANZAC Landing.
The church has marked ANZAC Sunday, the Sunday
before ANZAC Day, since 2010. Rev Peter Mitchell,
a Vietnam veteran who now ministers to RSL members,
and Rev Bill Humphries have prepared a service that
emphasises the continuing ties those that served have in
our community. “Rather than forgotten names, these are
people who have families that still live here,” Peter says.
The reflections of Rev Ian Vickery, whose father was a
major in PNG who was killed before his birth, and Major
Rev Craig Potter, who has served in Afganistan, will be
part of the service. All denominations and faiths welcome.
Details: Sun 19 April, 8am

ANZAC Sunday Service open to all
The ANZAC commemorative emblem
will be in place on Kiama Lighthouse
in time for this year’s special Dawn
Service. The work is scheduled to
take place on Thursday, 16 April, after
years of campaigning by the local RSL.
This year’s Anniversary Dawn
Service will be held at Blowhole
Point, the site of Kiama’s first
Dawn Service in 1916 (right).
The Service will commence at
5am. Large crowds are expect-
ed to attend (as many as 3000
have been estimated), and
Blowhole Point will be closed
to traffic to maintain the dignity of
the occasion. Courtesy shuttle buses
are being provided by Kiama Cabs from
4.30am, to be hailed along Terralong
St. The Showground is also being
opened for parking.
After the Service, local clubs will be
firing up their BBQs and cafes along
the main street are being encouraged
to open early.
Gerringong RSL is holding a Dawn
Service on the Headland at 6am to
mark its respect for the local families
who sacrificed so much.
The district March will begin in
Kiama at 10.30, led by the specially
formed Kiama-Jamberoo RSL First
Lighthorse Troop, with four horsemen
in World War I uniform.
Local ANZAC commemorations gear up
Lighthouse will be major focal point
Jamberoo remembers early Jamberoo will be holding its ANZAC Commemora-
tion Service and March on Saturday 18 April so that
residents can be together as a village as well as
participate in the bigger district events.
The march will commence at 10.30am from Reid
Park and proceed along Allowrie St to the Memorial
in front of the Jamberoo School of Arts. Traffic will
be interrupted for an hour, with detours organised.

Local history makes it all so real For some years, Kiama
Library has been preparing
for the Centenary of
ANZAC by collecting
stories, photos and records
of local servicemen.
The results of this work
has been brought together
in a series of fascinating
booklets that are available
free of charge.
Some document individu-
als like George Weir, who
grew up near Bush Bank
and died at The Somme.
Others compile lists of
soldiers born in our
villages and notes which
were killed and where.
The photos are particu-
larly poignant.
There is a wealth of infor-
mation worth looking
through on the Library’s
website:

Building a critical mass of Kiama tweeters Simon Duffin and his Aust-
ralian wife Anita Volkert
settled in Kiama from the UK
three months ago and are
loving it here. He’s a free-
lance journalist, having writ-
ten for The Guardian, and
she lectures on occupational
therapy at the Australian Catholic University.
However as a keen user of social media, Simon’s
been a bit disappointed, especially at the apparent
lack of Kiama presence on Twitter. The Bugle has
encouraged him to do something about it by offer-
ing a free session to convince more of us about the
benefits of using Twitter.
Here’s his reasoning why it would be great to get
more of us tweeting and build a critical mass:
“Some local folk are great on Twitter: our newly
re-elected MP Gareth Ward is very active (as are
some of his opponents); Kiama Library puts out
some great info, specially on historical things; and
our own Daisy the Cow (standing in the old fire
station) has a really good account keeping an eye
on everything others are saying about our town.
“But other than that, things are pretty quiet,
and it seems to me we're missing a trick as a local
community.
“Many people seem to think Twitter is all about
celebs telling us what they had for lunch, but it's
so much more.
“It can be a great tool for promoting your business
or your local club or just telling others what your
favourite place is round town.
“It can be a really useful information source (for
example it took me 10 days after they'd reopened
to find out the petrol station on Collins St was
back in action recently). And during the power cuts
we had back in January it could have been a really
good way of finding out how far the problem
extended and how long it might be off for (thanks
to Wave FM for the info that day!).
“It can also be a great way of networking in your
chosen field. I tweeted a picture of a stick insect
when I was in the Kiama Community Garden the
other day and was delighted to get a response from
a community garden in New York City!
“If you'd like to learn more about how you could
use Twitter, or maybe you have your own experi-
ences to share, come along to our Sunday afternoon
get together at the Little Blowhole Cafe and let's
get Kiama tweeting…”
Details: Sunday 19 April, 3-4pm
Little Blowhole Café, 4 Tingira Cres, Kiama.
The session will focus on the usefulness of
Twitter, rather than the technical detail.
Ideally, you’ll have set up a Twitter account
before you come. BYO device.

Recipe of the year Everyone loves an ANZAC
biscuit, and if you only
make them one time a
year this is that time.
While you are eating them
imagine the comfort they
gave our troops when a
care parcel arrived.
Combine a cup of plain
flour, a cup of oats,
a cup of sugar and
3/4 cup of coconut.
Combine 125g butter
in a saucepan with two
tablespoons of golden
syrup over a low heat
and stir til melted.
Mix half a teaspoon of
bicarb with two table-
spoons of boiling water,
and add to pan, stirring
briskly.
Stir wet mixture into
dry. Place tablespoons
of the mix onto a lined
baking tray, and bake
at 150C for 20 minutes
or so.
Enjoy!

At the CWA Concert: Songs That Won the War
At the Farmer’s Market Easter Hunt
Welcome to the newest member of the Grey family
The Jamberoo CWA reports that its March concert was a great
success. The sell-out audience loved hearing the old songs
being performed live. They brought back a lot of memories
and tears to some eyes. A big thank you to Angela Quinn who
directed the Ensemble and Intermezzo choral groups and the
solo singers, whilst Barrie McNicoll was the MC.
Kel and Mahlah Grey are happy to announce the safe arrival
of Brydie Ellen - born 26th March and weighing a healthy
8lbs 4oz. A lovely little sister for Tabitha and a welcome
addition for The Pines Kiama.
The Farmers’ Market Easter Potato Hunt again attracted hundreds of children
down to Black Beach to dig for potatoes. Given Kiama’s Irish heritage, it’s a very
fitting tribute! Once found, the potatoes could be taken home or swapped for
a chocolate egg or strawberry. The Easter Bunny made a special appearance.
Four year old Isabelle Margetts
has never been so excited
about a potato before!

Postcard from the Pacific - no wait, make that Hobart! My Mum Peggy turns 90 in September, so we figure
she gets 90 birthday celebrations this year.
One of those knees up was in early March - Mum
and I went on a Pacific Cruise. I thought it would
be good to extend our summer, so Noumea and Fiji
here we come! We packed our sarongs and cossies -
yes, mum’s a swimmer from way back!
And because my Mum has taught me well, I also
packed one set of warm clothes – you just never
know!
Our first two days on the high seas saw tempera-
tures rise while we lay around in the sun, read (me),
snoozed (Mum) and generally watched the Great
South Pacific sail past.
We were just leaving our first stop, Noumea, when
the captain came onto our TV holding a beautiful
map of the Pacific Ocean. But what was that scary
red patch in the top right corner? Cyclone Pam!
She wasn’t going to let us get anywhere near Fiji!
So about-face and three days later we pulled up
the Derwent River into Hobart! While some cruise-
goers who had ONLY brought sarongs mutinied,
Mum and I were in our element! We Love Hobart!
We spent our first day on dry land drinking real
coffee (who knows what the stuff on board the ship
was), watching seals play in the harbour, contem-
plating the adventures had by the Antarctic ships
that were tied up next to us, buying gorgeous things
in the shops along Salamanca Place and stuffing our-
selves with oysters (see the photo of Mum in her
sensible cardi from Kerry’s Klothes Kiama!).
The following day Mum rested up after a full day
walking around Hobart Town and I took the 20
minute ferry trip up the Derwent River to MONA –
the Museum of Old and New Art and Hobart’s newest
star attraction.
All my dreams had come true. I’ve visited MONA
once before but only for two hours. This time I spent
the whole day.
Thank heavens we had packed those sensible
clothes! What a Mum!

The extension of the
bikepath to Jamberoo
is edging forward, with
an extra kilometre along
Swamp Rd recently
being completed.
It is hoped that the
rest of the way to
Jamberoo will not
follow the busy road,
but cut across country.
Negotiation with land-
holders are ongoing.
The path is shared
with pedestrian traffic.
