The BugleThe BugleThe BugleThe Bugle

Local identities Elise Pascoe and her

husband John Kelly have decided to leave

their dream home in Kiama to move closer

to the support of family in Melbourne.

The pair fell in love with Jamberoo on

the June long weekend in 1999, and soon

bought a property on Clover Hill where

they established the hugely successful Elise

Pascoe International Cooking School.

They soon became heavily involved

in the community, particularly the Kiama

Show Society and its offshoot, the Kiama

Wine Show. One of Australia’s leading

food writers and cooks, Elise has been

a mentor for many local food industry

participants and initiatives, including

accepting a role as a ‘talking cookbook’

for the fledgling Kiama Farmers’ Market

to encourage people to use local produce.

After selling the cooking school property

in 2007, they spent a year on sabbatical in

Italy - a country they both love. It was this

year that inspired the house they built in

Seaview St, Kiama, on their return.

“We were so enamoured with the Italian

way of doing things that we came back

determined to recreate the best that we’d

seen while there,” says Elise. No expense

was spared on the property. All of the

shuttered windows and doors were made

to order in Italy and imported here, as were

the door handles and fittings. The light

fittings are mostly Italian too, and of course

the kitchen and butler’s pantry are a chef’s

dream. The gardens too reflect Italy, with

the front yard full of fruit trees and a walled

Roman courtyard out the back.

“We know we were extravagant, but we

were building for the rest of our lives,”

she says. “It was built around the Italian

principle of Viviere Bene - Live Well.”

Unfortunately John’s stroke 15 months

ago means they will have to reluctantly

move on to a different stage in their lives,

as Elise’s two sons live in Melbourne.

The property will soon be on open for

expressions of interest, through Ray White

Kiama.

Preparing to bid arrivederci

Kiama’s Local Environment

Plan (LEP), adopted in 2011

after an extended period of

investigation and consulta-

tion, is to be reviewed.

An LEP is a legal instru-

ment imposing standards

to guide and control

development within a local

government area - such

things as land use zones,

minimum block sizes,

heritage protection and more

- so that they reflect each

community’s expectations.

The Review of the LEP is

not to be a full rewrite of the

document but rather address

anomalies that have been

discovered since the Plan

was adopted. It was describ-

ed at the May Council meet-

ing as a tweaking.

But it was a tweaking that

five councillors wanted to

be involved with. They all

nominated for the three

positions on the Committee,

with Councillors Mark

Honey, Dennis Seage and

Andrew Sloan being elected

to the roles. Councillors

Rice and McClure were

unsuccessful.

The councillors are all

keen for the Review Com-

mittee to report within this

Council’s term, rather than

have the matter drag out,

with a deadline of August

2016 being decided on.

Applications are now be-

ing sort from suitably quali-

fied residents to join the

Committee.

Apart from the three coun-

cillors, one of whom will be

chair, there are positions for

one community representa-

tive each from North Kiama/

Minnamurra, Gerringong/

Gerroa, Kiama and Jam-

beroo, as well as a represen-

tative of rural landholders.

The Health & Sustainab-

lity Committee, Economic

Development Committee

and the Development Indus-

try Committee will all be

asked to nominate a repre-

sentative. In addition,

Council’s General Manager,

Director of Environmental

Services and Manager of

Stategic Planning will be on

the Committee.

The Committee’s purpose

is to provide a forum for

communication between

Council, the community and

relevant sectors in the app-

raisal and review process.

Details: Expressions of

interest should clearly

marked LEP Review

Committee and be lodged

by Thurs 4 June.

They may be emailed to

council@kiama.nsw.gov.au,

posted to PO Box 731,

Kiama or delivered to

Council’s Chambers.

Further information avail-

able on Council’s website.

Keeping the KHS Band on track Following the

success of last

year's inaugural

Rock Quiz music

trivia night, fans

of Kiama High's

Band are busy

preparing to do

it again.

Money raised will be used to help fund the school's

Instrumental Music Program including new musical

instruments, repairs and maintenance of existing

instruments, new music books and help to subsidise

band tours.

The KHS Band has been developing young musi-

cians for over 20 years. Students from Years 7-12

participate in the band programs and dedicate their

lunchtimes a number of times a week to prepare for

performances.

The Band performs at local events such as the

Kiama Jazz and Blues Festival, community or school

functions, local charity events, nursing homes and

local primary schools, as well as an annual tour.

"The tours help to promote Kiama to a broader

community as well as providing a wonderful cultural

and musical experience for all involved," says Claire

Stevens, one of the parents organising the event.

The most recent tour was to Tasmania, with desti-

nations in past years including Canberra, northern

NSW, Melbourne and New Zealand.

As usual with these fundraising nights, there’ll be

raffles, a silent auction and games, as well as music

from the Band and drinks at club prices.

Discover the bounty of our wine region this long weekend

Instead of participating in this year’s

regional festival, Gerringong’s Crooked

River Winery is putting its own Winter

Wine Festival.

It is using the long weekend to relaunch

itself as wine and food destination.

After 18 years, the winery's founders,

Brian and Narelle Jackson, have passed

the baton over to the next generation, with

daughter Victoria and her husband Goodie

Felice now in charge. The pair have a

proven record in hospitality management,

and hope the winery becomes a must-stop

spot for those travelling up and down the

South Coast.

The ambitious strategy began last year

when Masterchef Professional, Coop

Woodstone, took over in the kitchen. He

has now been joined by Jimmy Spasevski,

formerly of Seabreeze Dining, as the

new Maitre D’ of the newly renovated

and expanded restaurant.

There will be music over the weekend,

with Strangers in Gotham, Dukes of York

and Lady Vamp playing old and new hits,

as people picnic in the natural amphitheatre

of the valley. The restaurant will be open

for lunch on Saturday and Sunday, with

less formal gourmet food options available

outside. Apart from wine tastings, there

will also be craft beer available.

Details: Queen’s Birthday Weekend,

Crooked River Wines, 10-4pm.

Annual reminder to check out your eyes Macular degeneration, Australia’s leading cause of severe

vision loss and blindness, affects more than 1.15 million

Australians over 50, and without appropriate prevention

and treatment measures, this number is set to increase to

1.7 million by 2030, given the rapidly ageing population.

Kiama optometrists Dr Susan Ang and Dr Margaret

Zhong, of EyeStore, say that research shows that one in

four people over 50 are still not heeding the call to have

their eyes tested and macula checked despite 85% being

aware of macular degeneration.

Susan and Margaret are supporting Macular Disease

Foundation Australia in urging people at risk to see their

local optometrist and take control of their eye health this

Macular Degeneration Awareness Week (24-30 May).

Risk factors for macular degeneration include being over

the age of fifty, a direct family history and smoking.

The very early signs of macular degeneration can now

be identified easily by modern technology which enables

the optometrist to see the

retina at the back of the eye,

where the disease develops,

and detect early signs of the

disease. Along with having an

eye test and macula check,

Australians over 50 should

incorporate the good eye

health practices of diet and

lifestyle into their everyday

health routines, such as

eating dark green leafy vege-

tables, fresh fruit and fish.

Quitting smoking is also

critical, as smoking can lead

to blindness.

Details: For more information

call the Macular Disease Foundation Australia on

1800 111 709 or visit www.mdfoundation.com.au

Signs to look for The symptoms of macular

degeneration may include

the following (the 4 Ds):

� Difficulty with reading

or any other activity

with fine vision

� Distortion where

straight lines appear

wavy or bent

� Distinguishing faces

becomes a problem

� Dark patches or empty

spaces appear in the

centre of your vision.

Recognising carers Nominations for the 2015 NSW Carers Awards are now

open. The awards recognise and celebrate the dedication,

commitment and valuable contributions of unpaid carers

from across the state.

“One in ten people in New South Wales dedicate their

time to caring for someone who needs care because of

disability, mental illness, a chronic health condition,

dementia or ageing,” says Gareth Ward MP. “Every day

carers provide vital unpaid support to members of our

community, improving their lives and saving Australian

taxpayers an estimated $40 billion annually.”

There are Awards for both individuals and organisations.

The May Council meeting

has adopted the recom-

mended policy on the use

of public reserves by fitness

trainers (as outlined in our

last edition).

The final policy includes

a number of amendments,

after taking into accounts

submissions made by the

public during the exhibition

period. In particular:

♦ the reserve around Kiama

Downs SLSC has been

added as a location

♦ Operating hours have

increased by an hour to

7pm during winter and

by half an hour to 8.30pm

during daylight saving

♦ Class sizes have been

increased to 30 at South

Werri Reserve, Chittick

Oval and Coronation Park

♦ Permitted distances from

houses, playgrounds,

beaches etc have been

clarified, as well as the

descriptions of prohibited

activities (see box)

♦ Flexibility has been added

to the fee structure, so

payments for class size

can vary with the seasons,

and trainers can pay their

fees quarterly rather than

annually.

An Expression of Interest

process is to take place so

commercial fitness trainers/

personal trainers can obtain

a permit to operate. Individ-

ual permits will last for two

years .

New trainers wanting to

establish themselves during

the two year interval before

the next EOI will have to

fit in with what reserves

are remaining for use.

Banned activities ♦ Using public infrastruc-

ture

♦ Training on sand dune

stabilisation area

♦ Using ocean pools

♦ Using aggressive or

intimidating training

methods

♦ Using amplified music

and voice

♦ Use of more than one

advertising sign

♦ Using rope, stakes and

vehicle tyres

♦ Attacting any equipment

to vegetation

♦ Having exclusive use of

outdoor fitness equip-

ment

♦ Using stairways or paths

for static or repeated

training routines.

Rules set for trainers in Kiama

Tributes to Kiama’s Hollywood legend The Australian Centre for

Moving Image (ACMI) is to

pay tribute to Kiama's own

Orry-Kelly with an exhibition

devoted entirely to his work.

Orry-Kelly: Dressing Holly-

wood will look at his life and

incredible creative output. He designed costumes

for 285 movies, including Casablanca and Some Like

It Hot, and won three Oscars. There will be some

of the designer's actual costumes that made movie

history on display, thanks to the generosity of

prestigious archives and private collections.

The movie about his life, Women He's Undressed,

is being premiered at the Sydney Film Festival in

the cinema of the Sun Princess on June 10.

When Phil and I arrived in the Languedoc

region of France for a holiday in June 2013,

we hadn't planned on buying a house.

But then we stumbled across a beautiful

village house that stole our hearts, and life

as we knew it changed forever. This was

where we were going to spend every Aust-

ralian winter for the next 10 years at least.

Last year we spent our first six blissful

months in our new home, timing our day-

time activities by the chiming bells of the

church opposite.

What we fondly named Chez ‘Roo was

fully and lovingly restored from derelict

in 2002 by an Englishwoman who made

Belpech her home. Such is the charm of

the village, she has puchased again nearby.

Belpech is a typical French village. Built

around a 12th century church and village

square, we found the village to have

everything one could need: two bakery/

patisseries, an excellent butcher who stocks

all sorts of delights other than meat and

cooks chickens on rotisserie out the front of

his store on Sundays, a small supermarket,

a café, a chemist and doctor’s surgery - and

no ex-pat community.

The villagers, who are friendly and wel-

coming, refer to Chez ‘Roo as the Grande

Maison as it occupies the largest parcel of

land in the village centre. Inside its walled

garden are the remains of a previous resi-

dence. The garden is a haven in the centre

of town with fragrant herbs, roses, raspber-

ries, apples and a fruiting grapevine.

Central to Foix, Mirepoix, Pamiers,

Carcassonne (Ryan Air), Toulouse and

Limoux, one could explore for years and

not see all there is to offer.

Sadly, things don’t always go as planned

and we are not able to return this winter.

So if you are like-minded people who

would enjoy renting a large village house

at a reduced rate in return for taking care of

the house and garden, get in touch.
