Inside this issue

The BugleThe BugleThe BugleThe Bugle

In a David and Goliath

battle, John and Sam Crowl

from The Cow and the

Moon Artisan Gelato in

Sydney’s inner west caused

headlines around the world

recently when they won the

World’s Best Gelato title

in Italy.

The Bugle, however, is

the first to report on the

Kiama side of the story.

The owners of The Cow

and the Moon have strong

ties with Kiama and the

Illawarra. Wendy Crowl

(nee Maurer) grew up in

Kiama with parents Ian and

Anne Maurer. John Crowl

grew up in Albion Park.

The couple met at

The Spanish Inn restaurant

in Bong Bong St where

John was an apprentice chef

and Wendy was working

part-time whilst studying

at Wollongong University.

Having a holiday home in

Kiama, they regularly return

to the Illawarra to visit fam-

ily and friends.

The father and son team

from The Cow and the

Moon say the atmosphere

in Italy was electric, the

competition fierce and

winning the competition

was incredible. “It was truly

a dream come true,” says

John.

The three day finale to the

Gelato World Tour attracted

over 70,000 people with

24 finalists competing from

Rome, Valencia, Sydney,

Melbourne, Dubai, Berlin

and Austin in the US.

More than 6500kg of

gelato was produced and

more than 70,000 cups

and cones were consumed

in the town’s Piazza Fellini.

Their winning flavour,

Mandorla Afforgato,

embodies a Madegascan

vanilla bean gelato with

roasted caramalised coffee

almonds folded through

with a Kenyan coffee and

salted caramel sauce.

Wendy’s father Ian, and

his wife Judy East, travelled

to Rimini as John and

Sam’s official cheer squad –

a tough job but someone had

to do it – as Wendy stayed

home to man the shop.

Good thing too, given the

ensuing madness.

“Since winning, the lines

at our gelataria have been

out the door and down the

street and Mandorla Affor-

gato has been made non-

stop,” says John. Wendy’s

brother Damien, who lives

in Kiama, has been up help-

ing with the crowds.

John has been making

gelato for many years before

opening The Cow and the

Moon, and has taught many

people around Australia

and the world how to make

artisan gelato.

In Kiama he has been

an important mentor for

Kel and Mahlah Grey of

The Pines as they have

diversified their dairy farm’s

product into gelato making.

“John has been amazingly

generous with his time and

expertise,” says Kel. “He is

so passionate about getting

a quality product and under-

stands what we are trying to

achieve.”

Naturally enough, guests

at the recent wedding of

their daughter Katie in

Kiama, enjoyed a superb

gelato cake the Crowls

produced for the occasion.

For the observant, the

final Kiama connection

with The Cow and the Moon

comes with the artwork on

the walls of the café.

The queuing crowds have

plenty of time to appreciate

the quirky work of local

artist Wendy O’Malley,

who now runs Moss Nest in

Berry and was the illustrator

of the much loved book,

The Great Rock Whale.

Who should join our Arts and Sports Honour Rolls? Nominations for the Kiama Arts Honour Roll and

Kale and Sally Fitzgibbons. The late Australian

painter Lloyd Rees (right), who had a strong

association with Gerringong, was the first inducted into the Arts Roll.

Details: Nominations close Sun 5 Oct, with the announcement made on Australia Day.

This Month’s Pics & Flicks The Gilded Cage is a

charming comedy about

a hard-working migrant

couple in Paris who un-

expectedly inherit a fortune

and estate in Portugal.

The only problem is the

family and occupants of the

apartment block they man-

age don’t want them to go,

so they try to undermine

their plans. It’s a salutary

warning on the dangers of

becoming indispensible!

The Gilded Cage was

the Winner of the People’s

Choice Award for Best

Film at the 2013 European

Film Awards, and is sub-

titled from the French and

Portuguese.

Lantern Festival keeps getting bigger The Kiama Farmers’ Market tribute to our sister

city of Hoi An is on Weds 24 September, after

a couple of false starts due to rain.

The market area at Black Beach will be deco-

rated with silk lanterns given to Kiama by the

people of Hoi An, and as many other lanterns

that the organisers can find – including this

beauty discovered in Marrickville last week!

Extra stallholders have booked in for the event,

which is running at the special time of 2 til 6pm.

It has been announced that conversations

at Siteworks 2014 will be hosted by Robyn

Williams, the popular presenter of ABC

Radio’s Science Show.

Siteworks is a free annual spring event

which brings scientists, artists and comm-

unity voices together to share knowledge

and ideas through a series of discussions,

presentations and experiences. It is held

the idyllic Bundanon, on the banks of the

Shoalhaven, one of Australia’s leading art

and cultural centres.

This year’s focus will be around ideas

around biodiversity, with a particular focus

on the concept of earth law.

Experience performances and workshops

or become a ‘citizen scientist’ in the

Bundanon Bioblitz. Walk with an ecologist

and map flora and fauna to assist in the

evaluation of Bundanon's Living Landscape

initiative, with all data fed back into the

Atlas of Living Australia database.

The Bioblitz has a 24-hour aspect if you

book in to camp overnight on the property

(bookings essential) and join in extensive

flora and fauna searches at different times

and across different habitats.

Details: Sat 27 Sept, 11am til late,

for conversations and Bioblitz activities.

Sun 28 Sept 7-3pm Bioblitz continues.

sent a unique program of Oz music, poetry and

yarn spinning, with the accent firmly on comedy.

Be part of this year’s Folk by the Sea Festival For those of you who can’t

get to Folk by the Sea for

the whole of Saturday, the

organisers have given you

the option of just coming

along for the evening and

getting to see a top line-up

of folk talent.

“We don’t want people

who have other commit-

ments to miss out on being

part of the event, so we have

evening passes available on

both nights,” says Festival

Coordinator Rod Cork.

“There’s nothing like being

there for the whole day to

get the real festival experi-

ence, but the nights will

have their own atmosphere.”

Four of the venues are in

The Pavilion Kiama, with

the others nearby at the

Rugby Club and the Uniting

Church Hall in Manning St.

“You have the opportunity

to see Kiama’s own Penny

Hartgerink in her new trio

on both Friday and Saturday

nights,” says Rod. “This

really shows her commit-

ment to our local festival, as

she is six months pregnant

with her first child.”

Penny’s trio is a real local

affair as she is teamed up

with husband Izaac Blomley

and friend Tess Hathaway,

who all came through the

Kiama High School Vocal

Group together.

On the Friday night,

there is also an international

flavour, with Rory Faithfield

from Ireland and Beth

Patterson from the United

States.

As our own Bruce Elder

wrote, “Faithfield inhabits

the same rich musical world

as Christy Moore Luka

Bloom and Glen Hansard.

His songs are wistful,

romantic, deeply felt, beauti-

fully crafted and sung with

a voice that pours sincerity

and emotion over every line

and note.”

Patterson is based in New

Orleans and combines a

wide range of musical influ-

ences in her unique brand

of music – everything from

Celtic, West African, Indian,

Balkan and Indonesian.

Another performer on

Friday night whose music

draws on many cultures is

Miriam Lieberman, who

plays a 21 string African

harp guitar.

Or for something com-

pletely different, stay around

for The Bottlers, a nine

piece acoustic folk punk

band from Sydney.

Saturday evening offers

another chance to hear

Patterson, Faithfield, The

Bottlers and Penny’s Trio,

as well as the Festival’s

headline acts – Mic Conway

& Phil Donnison’s mixture

of comedy and music and

Damien Leith.

Since his discovery on

Australian Idol seven years

ago, Damien has become

one of Australia’s most

successful musicians. With

platinum-selling albums and

numerous awards, his first

visit to Kiama is sure to at-

tract an enthusiastic crowd.

His impromptu performance

on the beach at the launch

was a real treat (top left).

At just $30 for a ticket,

the evening’s entertainment

is excellent value.

Details: A range of tickets

are available (adult prices

shown here, concessions are

avail for children).

A new artificial reef costing

almost $1 million is expect-

ed to be in place in Shoal-

haven Bight by Christmas.

It will create a new, high-

quality fish habitat for a

range of fish species and

other marine life, creating

a boon for fishers.

The innovative design

will use steel-reinforced

concrete artificial reef

modules five metres high

and more than 25 tonnes.

Twenty of these massive

modules will be deployed

to create a reef that will be

more than double the size

of the NSW’s first offshore

artificial reef dropped off

Sydney in 2011.

At the awarding of the

tender the Member for

Kiama Gareth Ward said

the fabrication of the reef

modules will take place at

Port Kembla.“Recreational

fishing is already a major

contributor to the local

economy of the South

Coast, supporting about

1800 full-time jobs and

generating $395 million in

economic output,” he ex-

plained. “The South Coast

offshore artificial reef will

provide another major

drawcard to attract recre-

ational fishers and keep

them coming back.”

The money will come

from licence fees charged

for recreational angling.

Parents, grandparents and other carers of young children are welcome

to attend a new playgroup offering a varied weekly program

of painting, educational activities, singing and story telling.

It’s an opportunity to socialise, have fun and learn through play.

$2.50 per family, which covers craft materials and refreshments for

adults. Bring your own children's morning tea.

Every Wednesday, 10 til noon Kiama Presbyterian Hall, cnr Terralong and Shoalhaven Streets.

Debbie on 0420 936 847 or 4297 5869

If you are confused, and horrified, by the ongoing conflict

in Gaza, then take the opportunity organised by SS Peter

& Paul Social Justice Group to gain a deeper understand-

ing of the situation. The people living in Occupied Pales-

tine have experienced military occupation and ongoing

conflict for many years. They live in fear and are denied

basic necessities of life.

Arda Aghazarian, an Armenian Palestinian Christian

who grew up in the old city of Jerusalem, will help

explain the very real issues of daily living in Occupied

Palestine and how we can contribute to a hopeful future.

Arda is a vocal advocate for justice and peace in the

Holy Land, with a particular emphasis on conflict resolu-

tion and women’s rights. Her visit to Australia will see her

speaking at around the country spreading her vision for a

just and peaceful future for Israel and Palestine.

Her visit is co-sponsored by World Vision and the Pales-

tine Israel Ecumenical Network.

Just when we are beginning to enjoy the benefits of

the improvements to the highway near Gerringong,

work is beginning further south.

A start has begun on the $580 million Princes

Highway upgrade to bypass Foxground and Berry

with the first goal being the establishment of a

site office and community display centre for the

project. The facilities are being constructed on

Woodhill Mountain Rd in Berry (the road to Watta-

mulla) and are expected to be open to the public

in early 2015.

The project will provide a four lane divided high-

way for almost 12 kilometres between Toolijooa Rd

and Schofields Lane, including a bypass of the exist-

ing winding highway at Foxground and a bypass of

Berry with access ramps north and south of town.

Major construction is due to commence in early

2015, with completion due mid 2018. It will be here

before you know it.

The annual Blue Haven Fete will be held

again this year on Sat 11th October.

Col Rathbone from the Friends of Blue

Haven is sending out the call to anyone

who may wish to donate goods to sell at

the annual Fete.

Books, handbags, jewellery and, of

course, all those lovely bits and pieces that

you can finally bring yourself to part with,

will be greatly appreciated.

“Our group fundraises throughout the

year to provide equipment and the little

extras which are not provided in the care

provided by the aged care facility,” says

Col. “These include everything from craft

materials and gifts to residents on special

occasions, to providing new specialist

equipment.”

Other fundraising efforts include fashion

parades, cake stalls, lunches and raffles

throughout the year.

Last year they provided $27,000 for elec-

tric beds and pressure release mattresses in

the Aged Care Facility. This year’s project

is to replace furniture in the Hostel and

Nursing Home.

The Friends are always looking for new

members to help with this.

According to the NSW

Trustee and Guardian,

studies show that at least

45% of Australians do not

have a valid Will.

If you fall into this group,

you have an opportunity

to do something about it

and help the Red Cross at

the same time.

Local lawyers are donat-

ing their time and expertise

by being available to make

or update simple Wills, with

all fees going to this good

cause.

If you die without a Will

your estate will be distrib-

uted according to a pre-

determined formula and,

if your only living relatives

are more distant than cous-

ins, your estate will pass to

the government.

Situations where you may

need a Will update include,

but aren’t limited to:

♦ Change in relationship

status

♦ Having children or

grandchildren

♦ Changes in your child-

ren’s relationships

♦ Changes to the suitability

of the executor

♦ The death of a spouse or

other beneficiary

♦ Significant changes in

the value of bequests.

Final resting spot Until I moved to Kiama I always favoured being

cremated. But since discovering the beauty and

calmness of Gerringong Cemetery, I’m seriously

contemplating burial. As long as it could be here.

I love coming here to admire the view, imagine

the lives the people lying there led and think about

the meaning of life.

I even take visitors there.

Greek slow roasted lamb with lemon and potatoes Serves 8

2 kg leg or shoulder of lamb (bone in or out)

3 cloves garlic, quartered

6 sprigs fresh oregano, halved

Salt and pepper

1 large lemon

1 kg potatoes, peeled, quartered lengthways

1 tspn fresh thyme, chopped

Preheat oven to 150C fan forced.

Make 12 small cuts in the lamb with a sharp

knife. Press the garlic and oregano into the cuts.

Rub the lamb with salt and pepper.

Remove the rind from the lemon with a peeler

and cut the rind into long thin strips. Squeeze the

juice from the lemon (about 1/3 cup of juice is

needed).

Place lamb in a large baking dish, upside down.

Pour the juice over the lamb and arrange the rind

over the top.

Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake in the

oven for two hours. Turn the lamb over and brush it

all over with the pan juices. Cover the dish with

the foil again and bake for 30 minutes.

Add the potatoes to the dish and sprinkle with

the thyme. Bake, covered, for a further hour and

45 minutes.

Remove the foil and cook, uncovered for another

15 minutes or until browned.

Remove from oven and stand, loosely covered

with foil for 10 minutes before serving. The meat will

fall apart and the potatoes taste gorgeous.

Tried & tested

The South Coast’s reput-

ation as a food destination

continues to grow due to

the efforts of committed

supporters of local produce

promoting the region.

Their latest effort involves

participating in Australia’s

largest food festival, the

Sydney Morning Herald’s

Good Food Month, as a

way of spreading the word

to a wider audience.

It was through Good Food

Month (then known as

CRAVE) that the South

Coast was crowned the win-

ner of the 100 Mile Chal-

lenge a couple of years ago.

The Kiama Farmers’

Market, Berry’s South on

Albany, Wollongong’s

Caveau and Nowra’s Wharf

Rd Restaurant are all flying

the flag in next month’s

packed program.

More information on

the special Sunday Kiama

Farmers’ Market in the

grounds of the Sebel Har-

bourside in our next edition.

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.

If you have never been to Broome,

I would recommend you include it

within your bucket list. This was our

second visit.

Broome is not just a great place

to have a beach holiday during our

southern Australia winter, it is also

importantly your gateway to the

Kimberley.

I am sure most have seen an image

like this of camels on Cable Beach,

or the 10 metre tides that result in

the spectacular movement of water

between high and low tide along the

Kimberley coast.

But once you have done all the

many tourist things around Broome,

I would recommend you experience at

least the Horizontal Waterfalls north

of Broome, as well as the many places

to see as you drive to Cape Leveque.

We ventured into the West Kimber-

ley by driving via Fitzroy Crossing and

Halls Creek en route to Kununurra –

only a short way from the NT border.

Kununurra was a great base to fly

to the Bungle Bungles. We flew over

Lake Argyle, an integral part of the

Ord River Scheme covering approxi-

mately 1,000 square kms, as well as

the Argyle Diamond Mine during this

flight.

Upon arriving at the Bungle Bungles,

we were greeted by our guide who

took us for a two hour walk into this

remarkable geological feature.

We returned to Broome via the Gibb

River Road - what a great experience.

We stayed at El Questro for three

nights, followed by one night at

Drysdale River Station up the Kalum-

baru Road. It was great to return to

Broome and once again watch the sun

set on Cable Beach.

We will return once more to this

wonderful part of Australia.

Catering for all occasions � Weddings � Birthdays � Meetings

� Wakes � Parties � Conferences

Our clients say it best:

‘What you gave us was simply perfect.’

‘The food was the talk of the party.’

‘Our guests were so complimentary

about the quality and quantity of food

they had been served.’

‘We thoroughly enjoyed the food.’

‘I was able to relax with the knowledge

that the event was in safe hands.’

‘Delicious!’

Doodle.com is a must for clubs, businesses

and large families – it allows you to work

out when everyone is available for an event

without the frustration of multiple calls and

emails.

Whether you are organising a Bridge

tournament, meeting with your special

interest group or booking a holiday with

the family; Doodle Poll is right for you!

While some people use electronic calen-

dars as their diaries now days, especially

for work, you can’t rely on everyone using

the same system.

All you have to do with doodle.com is

decide on a range of dates (and times) that

you would like your event to be on, and

then email it to all participants so they can

fill in when they are free.

If you want to get a bit more complex,

you can fiddle around with the settings

which let you add an ‘if I really need to be

available’ option, turn the poll confidential

or force participants to only choose one

option.

The advantage of doodle.com is that

(a) it sounds hilarious when you say it and

(b) you don’t need to sign up for anything,

as the free version works excellently.

Taking the pain out of scheduling meetings

In this example, it would be best to organise the meeting on Saturday 20 Sept at 8pm as everyone

is available then.
