The BugleThe BugleThe BugleThe Bugle

At the premiere of Women He’s

Undressed, Grahame Mackie had

a unique connection with the great

Hollywood costume designer, and

fellow Kiama boy, honoured on

screen.

As a five month old, Grahame was

taken to a party held for Orry-Kelly

in Eleanor Weston’s Terralong St

home (the building where the Indian

restaurant is now) when he returned

home in 1939. Miss Weston, the

town’s florist, had been a mentor for

the young Kelly before he left town

for the bright lights of Sydney and

then Hollywood.

He’d been designing gowns and

costumes in Hollywood since 1930,

working on over 200 films. Just the

year before, he had worked on Jeza-

bel, with Bette Davis and Henry

Fonda. But this was just the cusp

of his real fame, with classics

including The Maltese Falcon,

Casablanca, Arsenic and Old Lace,

An American in Paris, Oklahoma!,

Les Girls, Auntie Mame, Gypsy and

Irma La Douce still to come.

Grahame, who continues the work

of his mother Molly Mackie as a

chronicler of the history of Kiama,

provided background to the film-

makers and was invited to the

premiere on board the Sun Princess

and to the red carpet event at the

State Theatre the next night.

“Kiama features throughout the

film with scenes of the Blowhole

and Bombo Headlands and rare

early photographs of Orry and his

remarkable paintings,” he says.

“The story is partly told through

his mother Florence.”

It shows movie clips and inter-

views and tells of his life from 1897

till his early death in 1964. Kiama

features prominently, as the rowboat

shown left is used as a repetitive

narrative element in the document-

ary, as shown above.

At the premiere, Grahame partic-

ularly enjoyed talking with June

Dally-Watkins who, at 23, went to

stay with Orry-Kelly for an unfor-

gettable month, meeting all of his

Hollywood friends.

Orry-Kelly’s autobiography,

Women I’ve Undressed, lost for 50

years and found in an unmarked box

in the Warner Bros archives just last

year, will be released for the first

time on 1 August.

Moves are afoot to arrange for a

special showing of the movie down

here before it goes on public release.

The Kiama & District Historical

Society and Pics and Flicks are

liaising with the distributors to try

and make it happen. According to

Grahame, it’s not to be missed.

Orry-Kelly remembered

Cedar Grove Stage II has been

approved by Council, with access

through the existing roads in Stage I

- Lilly Pilly Way, Banksia Drive

and the roundabout at Jamberoo Rd.

Residents of the area affected have

fought a long and loud campaign

against the proposal, sighting safety

and other concerns. While Council

pondered the last minute proposal of

a new road in from the west, it was

the Engineering Director’s opinion

that such a road would be very diffi-

cult to build and would require the

developer to buy more land.

Some councillors expressed grave

concerns about the safety of having

one access in and out of both stages,

and wanted to defer the decision

while the feasibility of the western

entrance was investigated further.

Others felt that the developer had

made a number of improvements to

the original proposal, such as wid-

ening streets, reducing gradients and

providing paths for pedestrians and

cyclists, and that the development

complied with all of the necessary

codes.

The DA was approved 4:3, with

Councillor Seage absenting himself

and Councillor Honey away.

“The proposal has been under

exhaustive study for around twelve

months, resulting in modified plans

that fit the guidelines,” says Mayor

Brian Petschler. “It has been to the

Traffic Committee twice and the

measures recommended will help

with both safety and parking.”

Councillor Warren Steele was

one who felt the matter should be

deferred. “I fear the day there is a

major accident and there is only

one way in and out,” he said. He

referred to a similar situation at Bar-

ton Drive that has caused concern.

Councillor Neil Reilly said,

“History will not accept the answer

that it was too hard to design an-

other route.”

Expressing the argument for ap-

proving the development, Council-

lor Andrew Sloan said, “The pro-

posal complies with all of the plan-

ning codes and regulations we have

no discretion over. If we refuse it

we will leave ourselves exposed to

court action that we won’t win.”

Rate changes for 2015/6 Rates in the Kiama LGA will rise by

2.4% in the coming financial year,

as set by the state government.

Waste charges are to fall by 4.2%

as a result of carbon tax credits

and the rollout of the OK Organics

program reducing disposal costs.

Pics and Flicks’ July movie is the highly acclaimed

Whiplash. A promising young drummer enrols in an

elite music conservatorium where his dreams of

greatness are guided by an instructor with terrifying

teaching methods.

When he is put into the top jazz ensemble, and

his passion to achieve perfection quickly spirals into

obsession, as his ruthless teacher pushes him to the

brink of his ability and his sanity.

The movie was nominated for Best Film at this

year’s Oscars, with JK Simmons winning an Oscar

and a BAFTA, and a string of other prestigious

awards, as best supporting actor for his role as

the teacher. Date: 3 July

Paula Gowans is a woman on a mission.

The local artist and Arts Board member

wants Kiama to follow the successful

Renew Newcastle model of using vacant

commercial space as creative workshop

spaces and pop-up galleries.

“This strategy has revitalised the centre

of Newcastle, giving it a vibrant feel which,

in turn, has attracted more businesses to the

area,” she says.

While the Kiama region doesn’t face the

economic issues of Newcastle, there are

a number of larger spaces that have been

vacant for a long time, and shops that

go without tenants for months.

“If these shops were used as pop-up

galleries, artist workspaces or just window

front exhibitions showcases, it would give

a much more up-beat feel to the town and

help the development of our arts commu-

nity,” says Paula.

While she appreciates that owners might

be concerned about letting their properties

to artists as interim tenants, given the mod-

est rent they would be able to afford and

issues regarding insurance and access, these

are obstacles that have been overcome in

other regions. “We can leverage off what

has worked well elsewhere,” she says.

“Surely it is better than getting no income

and having them look unloved. The owners

would also get kudos for doing their bit to

support the creative arts in our area.”

She has approached Council to see if it

can lead by example by allowing some of

its vacant buildings to be used by the arts

community. The old Kiama Independent

building in Shoalhaven St, owned by Coun-

cil, is a prime example of the space she is

thinking of that could be rented on a month

to month basis. The Independent building

has been vacant for a number of years

while Council has consolidated the site for

a major retail and residential development.

“Nothing would need to be done to the

building - artists make messes and don't

need fancy fitouts,” she says. “We’re just

looking for space to do our ongoing work;

where people can leave their tools and

work in progress in safety. For real creative

work, the artist/maker needs continual

access to the space.”

Anyone who has a property sitting idle

at the moment or others who want to help

Paula in her mission can contact her at

paulagowans@gmail.com

Cancer Council recognises Sandra’s contribution Kiama’s Emeritus Mayor Sandra McCarthy has been

awarded Life Membership of the Cancer Council

for her work with them over a number of years.

Like too many other people, cancer has affected

Sandra’s family, with her brother dying from an

aggressive melanoma in his mid-20s.

“We need to do everything we can to support

more research into the causes and successful treat-

ment of cancer,” she says.

Win-win proposal for vacant commercial spaces

Want to find out more? Since it was established in late 2008 Renew Newcastle has been the inspiration for

empty space revitalisation schemes across the country, like Renew Adelaide, Renew

Townsville, Made in Geelong and Pop-up Parramatta.

It has made its license agreements available to the Arts Law Centre of Australia which

has adapted them into templates for others to use. At the request of Arts NSW a suite of

useful information sheets and sample agreements for setting up creative enterprise

hubs in NSW by using empty space has been developed and is on the Arts Law website.

There are also other resources available online via the Empty Spaces website, which is

an initiative of Arts NSW promoting ‘pop-up’, short-term reuses of empty shops and

other spaces for creative and community uses.

For its annual dance night, the Kiama Jazz & Blues Club

has scored a coup, with the RAN’s Admiral’s Own Big

Band booked for its Victory Dance. The 18 piece band

will be getting you in the mood at his Forties’ style night,

paying tribute to the men and women of wartime.

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

from an officer to a nurse to the Andrew Sisters!

A portion of proceeds from the night will be donated to

Defence Care.

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

BYO drinks and rations, on tables of eight.

Council lends Tourism a hand Council has allocated an

extra $25,000 to Kiama

Tourism as a one-off assis-

tance grant while it is in the

process of restructuring its

operations.

Kiama Tourism had

asked for $50,000 to assist

while it aims to increase its

income from accommoda-

tion bookings, membership

fees and souvenir sales.

Jones Beach dog off-leash zone made permanent After a trial period, an area on the southern

end of Jones Beach has been made a dog off-

leach area, where animals can run on the

sand and swim with their owners.

The zone ends 40 metres from the rock

platform around Cathedral Rocks, ensuring

the integrity of the area.

Concerns that the beach will be polluted

with droppings are to be addressed with an

on-going volunteer education campaign, that

has already shown signs of success.

Signs will be erected to make it clear when

the hours of operation are, and what behav-

iour is expected of the dogs and their owners.

Kiama Produce Market finds new name As reported last edition,

the Kiama Produce Market

is no longer able to trade

under that name as it is

owned by the Kiama &

District Chamber of Com-

merce.

Its new name is the

Kiama Makers & Growers

Market, which emphasises

its evolution away from a

food market.

In one of three Care Cafes

it holds yearly, Kiama

Anglican Churches invite

you to hear David Fleming,

Executive Manager of Pres-

byterian Aged Care, address

the topic of Resilience in

Times of Change - How to

cope with moving goalposts.

After an overview of the

benefits of resilience all

through a lifelong journey,

he will offer practical steps

to build resilience in young

and old people alike -

a timely message when

preparing to embrace the

impending reforms facing

aged Australians.

There will be time for

questions afterwards,

followed by afternoon tea.

Opportunity to hear of Gerringong’s WWI volunteers

Following the success of a similarly-themed talk in Kiama

recently, Ken Donnellan from Kiama Library, is giving

a presentation based on World War I volunteers from

Gerringong. Through his position as Information Services

Librarian, Ken has carefully researched the stories of local

soldiers for the Centenary celebrations, including veterans

such as George Weir and Wallace Sharpe, whose surnames

live on amongst Gerringong residents.

Ken’s talk will be followed by a display of World War I

medals and memorabilia, including a moustache cup,

introduced by Ruth Ferguson from Gerringong. There

will also be an opportunity to look around the Gerringong

and District Historical Society’s Museum, and see its new

World War I display.

The talk will follow immediately after a brief AGM for

the Society. New members are always welcome.

Details: Sat 27 June, 2pm, Gerringong Museum,

10 Blackwood St. The Museum is always open on

Saturdays and Sundays from 1- 4 pm.

Melinda Ellis, of the Kiama Public School P&C,

reports that at its recent walkathon participants

walked a total of 1965km during the one hour event

- the equivalent of going from Sydney to Melbourne

and back.

Even more impressively, $13,000 was raised to

help fund a new science room and outdoor kitchen,

and the existing living classroom. “These facilities

are for teaching our kids about science, healthy life-

styles and the environment in a fun, hands-on way,”

says Melinda.

The walkathon’s theme of encouraging children in

active, healthy living in our beautiful environment

was supported the Kiama Farmers’ Market with a

donation of fresh fruit for all.

The support from the local business community

was also very generous, with the donation of prizes

to reward the kids for their walking and fund raising

efforts.

Family and friends attended the day to support

their children, joining in on a few laps of Black

Beach and a picnic lunch on School Flat by the

Harbour, just near the site of the original Kiama

Public School (in the grounds of the Sebel).

Resilience matters Bring out your Beanies on 1 July Hearing how brain cancer

is affecting his friend’s

family, seven year old

James Sullivan has

do something about it.

After discussions with

his mum and his friends

at Kiama Farmers’

Market, his idea of hold-

ing a cake stall has grown

into a Beanies for Brain

Cancer afternoon at the Wednesday market.

Everyone is encouraged to wear their favourite

beanie and participate in a number of fundraising

events to raise money for the Cure Brain Cancer

Foundation.

With so many old homes being knocked down by new owners, it’s refreshing to know

that Parkview, the old Miller home on Mt Pleasant, has been sold to a local family keen

to renovate it as their long-term home.

This iconic homestead looks south over Werri Beach and beyond, and was originally

part of the Renfrew Park land holding (with the main historic homestead at the new Rose

Valley overpass).

The house was built in the present location in 1913 after the original dwelling was de-

stroyed by fire in 1912. It has all its period detail, including locally hewn cedar and other

woods for its timber construction, and has been in the same family since then.

Located on over half an acre there is plenty of room for Katie and Ryan Sadgrove to

bring up their four children.

With their background as experienced renovators, the Sadgroves aren’t baulking at the

job ahead. They have lived in Kiama for eight years and have completed five renovations

in five years as their family has grown. “We just can’t wait to restore it, this time for our-

selves,” says Katie. “It will be such a great place for our children to grown up.”

Mrs Miller, who has lived at Parkview for almost 60 years, agrees. “I am so thrilled it is

going to such a lovely couple,” she says. “It is making leaving here that little bit easier.”

She is continuing with the decision she and her husband Bill, who passed away at the

end of 2013, made to move to the top floor of Blue Waters, the new development in Ger-

ringong township, once it was built. “I’ll be able to sit on my deck and enjoy a great view

of my old home,” she says.

Parkview to remain a family home

Twenty-six expressions of interest were received by

Council for the five representative positions on the

LEP Review Committee.

As outlined in a recent Bugle, the Review Commit-

tee will be looking at ironing out anomalies that

have been discovered in Kiama’s Local Environment

Plan since it was adopted a few years ago.

A ballot amongst councillors selected the follow-

ing people to represent the geographic areas and

rural landholders as shown - Mark Hitchcock

(Kiama); Cliff Mason (North Kiama/Minnamurra);

Brian Burgess (rural landholders); Sandra McCarthy

(Gerringong); and John Friedmann (Jamberoo).

In addition, Patrick Mahedy from PRM Architects

will represent the Economic Development Commit-

tee; Stuart Dixon from Cowman Stoddart will repre-

sent the Kiama Development Industry Committee;

and Leonardo Murgo, will represent the Health and

Sustainability Committee.

The Committee has until the end of the current

Council term to submit its recommendations.

LEP Review Committee members selected

Belinda St development approved The proposed mixed-use

development on Belinda St,

opposite the doctors and

next to the building nearing

completion, has been

approved by Council.

The developer made

significant amendments

to address councillors'

earlier concerns that it

was out of keeping with

the area.

The proposal is for five

shops, eight professional

suites and 29 residential

units. The external design

elements now include

gable and pitched awnings,

slat balustrading rather

than solid brick, weather-

board cladding and the

colours and finishes are

a more neutral palette.

Ironically these changes

have resulted in a greater

perceived bulk than the

original proposal, largely

because of the gabled

awnings.

No money made available for whale watching platform A whale watching platform

proposed for Minnamurra

Headland, which has

already attracted $10,000

in funding from the state

government, has not been

included in Council’s

budget for this year.

It was decided that fur-

ther investigations need to

be undertaken before this

project by Minnamurra

Lions could be supported.

Collins St upgrade options to be studied A working party has been

established to prepare draft

concept design plans and

costings for the upgrade of

the Collins St and Collins

Lane heritage precinct.

Councillors, the Director

of Engineering & Works,

the Chamber of Commerce

and Terrace House busi-

ness district representatives

will be on the committee.

At Gerringong’s Biggest Morning Tea

Gerringong Bowling Club has hosted its first Biggest

Morning Tea event, and the organisers are so thrilled

with the response they hope to make it

an annual event.

They raised $1255 for the Cancer Council, thanks

to the generosity of their guests, largely from

Probus, Mayflower and the Club itself.

If you missed this one, there is one on in Jamberoo

shortly - see page 2.

The Kiama Red Cross is over the moon with the success of its

second annual Fun Run. They had over 300 participants on

the day, nearly double last year’s entrants. They raised over

$6200 from the event.

They have not finalized plans for next year, but it is likely

to be again on the June long weekend, giving locals and visi-

tors a chance to support this great cause.

Hello from the road! We're cur-

rently driving through Western

Queensland, and whilst we had

prepared ourselves for drought

nothing could have prepared

us for how confronting the

reality is.

We're officially "Beyond the

Black Stump", after saying

goodbye to Blackall and the old

survey point in our rear vision

mirror. Looking out ahead of

us is hard to describe. We're in

prime grazing country with the

famed Mitchell Grass that has

helped provide wool and meat

to markets around the world for

over 100 years, but without rain

there's little to no grass. The

sight of dirt paddocks as far as

the eye can see and not a rain-

cloud in the sky to offer reprie-

ve is absolutely heartbreaking.

Everyone - farmers, livestock,

townspeople and native wildlife

- are doing it tough. We heard

a family with 60 years’ history

on their property have just sold

off the last of their living stock,

locked the front gate and

moved to town to find work.

They're hoping the rains come

before the bank does. A local

stock supply and mechanical

business has gone bust as all

orders and work has dried up.

Over 80% of Queensland is

now drought declared and

we can't help but feel for the

people and animals out here.

While we can't control the

weather we can support these

towns to keep afloat buy spend-

ing our money out here...

I think we may extend our road

trip for a bit longer!

Practical help hits mark When the call went out

to donate items to refugee

families, many were happy

to round up items of use.

Sharon Parker, the man-

ager of the North Kiama

Neighbourhood Centre,

ended up with two rooms

piled high with boxes and

bags full of doonas and bed

linen, blankets and towels,

kitchen equipment and

utensils, warm jackets,

baby clothes and shawls,

and books and games for

children – and even a $50

food voucher and a stroller.

The $50 was given as a

Mothers’ Day gift to a

young Kurdish refugee,

with a three year old,

whose husband is dying of

a brain tumour.

Volunteers spent a morn-

ing sorting, repacking and

delivering the goods to

Parramatta to Settlement

Services International,

the second-largest not-for-

profit organisation helping

refugees in Australia.

The Kiama Welcomes

Refugees Group meets

on the first Monday of

each month from 5-6pm at

the Neighbourhood Centre

and new members are

welcome.
