A Word from the EditorA publication of Bay & Basin Community Financial Services Limited (ACN 105 756 063) A Committed Community Centric Company

Welcome to our SePtemBer edition of the magazine.

It’s September, spring is here. What a relief after one of the wettest Winters on record. 2020 certainly has been a tough year, with bushfires, floods and Covid. Lets hope that spring brings a little hope to the area, we sure could use it.

fathers day – did you Know? The idea of a special day to honour fathers and celebrate fatherhood was introduced from the United States. A woman called Sonora Smart Dodd was inspired by the American Mother’s Day celebrations and planned a day to honour fathers early in the 20th century. The first Father's Day was celebrated in Spokane, Washington on June 19, 1910. Father’s Day has become increasingly popular throughout North America and other parts of the world over the years.

Enjoy the day with family Sunday 6th SeptemberThis month’s must reads:

DO TENANTS REAllY NEEDRENTER’S INSuRANCE?

Your Community Bank

As a tenant, who’s responsible for replacing all of your stuff if it gets stolen or damaged? What happens if someone gets injured in your rental property and they want to sue you? These are questions worth asking – and it’s why you should consider taking out renter’s insurance if you’re a tenant.

Renter’s insurance usually covers two things – contents, and legal liability. That means it will replace goods that are stolen or damaged, and will protect you from the huge legal costs if an accident occurs at the property you rent – like if someone falls down the stairs and injures themselves.If you are renting it is worth considering renters insurance.

For a small cost you can have the peace of mind to know that your valuable contents are covered if the unexpected happens.Why not drop into the branch in Sanctuary Point and we can quickly tell you how much peace of mind will cost you, you could be surprised to know that it could be less than $1 per dayUntil next month Keith Robinson – 4443 9825

Single use items are just not fashionable anymore – unless you are artist ruth downes. an exhibition at the Jervis Bay maritime museum, Barely Wearable: Body adornment in the age of overconsumption, explores waste and remnant in playful, stylish forms. Taking advantage of our throwaway culture, Ruth creates intriguing wearable pieces that raise the question of what impact and value our garbage could really have.With a background that includes design and public art, Ruth has an eye for pattern, shape and colour. Looking beyond the original purpose of the discarded objects and seeing instead the potential for a statement fashion piece, Ruth’s playful experiments allow the beauty and uniqueness of everyday, throwaway items to be realised.

Disposable razors, with their familiar orange plastic handles are assembled to create a bright geometric statement piece, while the discarded keys from an old piano are threaded together to create a new object that is recognisable in element, yet unfamiliar in arrangement. The celebration of these humble, everyday, throwaway items is contrary to their original intended purpose – especially when faced with materials such as coffee pods, beer bottle caps and disposable cutlery – all designed to be immediately discarded after use.

But it’s not just rubbish created by humans that Ruth is interested in. The litter shed by plants is also skilfully tamed and arranged, making an organic mess that would breakdown, into a durable and treasured item.

Barely Wearable is playful, surprising and thought-provoking exhibition that raises the question of value. At what point does something become rubbish and can this status be reversed if fashioned into something new?

Barely Wearable is now open and runs until Sunday 29th november 2020 at the Jervis Bay maritime museum, huskisson. www.jervisbaymaritimemuseum.com.au.

Going Online a Winner for Sanctuary Point Coding Club

Going online has helped Sanctuary Point Coding Club win STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) technology for the Club. Club members were very disappointed when library programs were cancelled due to COVID. Ten kids aged 7 to 10 years usually meet each Wednesday afternoon during the school term to learn how to code games and animations in the Scratch environment, a free, block based programming language and online community.

Their first online session in May corresponded with Moonhack, an international event that brings together kids from across the world for a week of coding. By sharing and tagging how they were preparing for Moonhack on social media, the Club went in the draw to win $3,000 of STEM technology.

Mayor Amanda Findley said, "This is a fantastic example of our library staff making the most of digital opportunities while we can't run our usual library programs. The theme this year was sustainability, so our library staff designed a save the trees game and filmed a tutorial for the kids that premiered on the library Facebook page. The fact that they won $3,000 worth of STEM technology just underlines how important it is to adapt to our current situation".

Code Club initiative, is a free support and resource hub to get kids coding, and advised our library staff on the best tech for the club. Library staff will be able to utilise these items when physical programming recommences.

The Club's winning entry game can be viewed via their Code Club studio link https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/396336992/ along with some other games from their online Coding Club.

Hitting the Wall

Family History

We’ve all been there – that point where you have ‘hit the wall’ and can go no further. You’ve used all the tricks in your arsenal and still don’t have the answer. Last month I briefly touched on Mr Louis Henry Witts, school teacher at Pyree from 1886 to 1890. Realising we have very little in our files on the Pyree School teachers, we have begun a project to document their lives and Louis Witts is my first subject.Further investigation has shown his family arrived in NSW, sponsored by John Witts brother William, on board the ship Joshua on 6th April 1858 which sailed from Southampton on 30 December 1857.Louis birth registration in Chippendale NSW is in 1858 (ref #2982), but with no access to his birth certificate, I decided to find exactly when he was born to get an idea of what the voyage entailed for his parents, who already had two sons aged 9 and 8, and daughter aged 3 to care for on a trip which would have been horrendous even without 3 children. The result was quite puzzling.NSW BDM website allows you to you use a method called interpolation, by which you can narrow down the dates of an event until you eventually arrive at the correct date. Using this, I determined Louis was born on January 1st, 30th June, and 31st December 1858. This was obviously incorrect, so I painstakingly went through 1858 to check, and his birth was there at every checkpoint. In my 18 years of researching I have never seen this before, so I knew something was very amiss.As a further control point I re-checked the

NSW State Archives Shipping records: passenger lists (reel 2138) and the NSW Agents lists (reel 2477), but neither of these showed Louis as a passenger.The last page of every passenger list usually has a “recapitulation” written by the captain, and this one showed there were three births on board during the voyage; two females & one male. There is no online surgeon’s report which may have documented these births & any associated problems, so there is no proof of Louis being the one male, although I suspect this is the case, even though a birth or death at sea may be found on NSW BDM Lifelink database with ‘Marine’ as the registration district.The surest way to find the answer is to purchase Louis’s birth registration. This can be ordered through NSW Lifelink (BDM’s); through Ancestry.com; or through a NSW Transcription Agent - which at $20 is much less expensive and very much quicker. To avoid an extra search fee, you will need the name of the person, the registration reference number, and the year and district of registration.All the records mentioned here are available in Shoalhaven Family History Society Inc. research library, 888 Greenwell Point Road Pyree, which we have now re-opened with restrictions, every Sunday from 10am – 2pm. We hope to see all of our members returning, filled with new knowledge and renewed enthusiasm, and new members are welcome to start their journey with help from our volunteers. Our Facebook page will keep you up to date with what’s happening.

the nSW christmas bush is one of the most requested plants here at the Sanctuary Point garden centre. in early spring, as we know, everything in the garden is bursting into bud and the nSW christmas Bush is no exception.

As the name suggests this glorious Australian is endemic to NSW and thrives particularly well in coastal regions such as ours, however can be found growing in cooler climates such as Canberra.

NSW Christmas Bush is an evergreen and initially grows as a small rounded shrub but as it matures, becomes a tall pyramid shaped tree up to 5m in height and 1.5m wide.

During spring the NSW Christmas Bush produces masses of creamy white flowers, however during December and after pollination by flies and native bees, the sepals, which are the outer series of floral leaves that protect the flower bud, enlarge and turn deep pink to red in colour enclosing the fruit, a single seed.

When the seed is ripe and falls away, the calyxes turn a bright rusty red colour and this is when this delightful shrub delivers its deliciously festive Christmas colour show.

The NSW Christmas Bush likes to be planted in a light, sandy, free draining soil in a full sun position and they hate wet feet but they will need regular watering until they establish.

These plants are slow to establish so be patient, give them a light trim after flowering and feed a few times a year with a native fertiliser.

NSW Christmas Bush will be available at the Sanctuary Point Garden Centre from August through to December 2020.

do i need to see the optometrist if i do not have vision problems?Diabetic retinopathy may not obviously affect your vision early on, so it is very important to have a regular eye health examination. Remember, early detection and treatment reduces the risk of future vision loss.

does poor vision mean diabetes has damaged my eyes?The main reason people with diabetes do not see the eye chart well is the same reason other people don’t see well - Long-sightedness, short-sightedness or astigmatism. People with diabetes are known to have fluctuating vision which can be caused by poorly controlled blood sugar levels, but the majority are capable of seeing clearly with the correct prescription glasses.

What is diabetes?To function we need to convert glucose (sugar) from food into energy using insulin. Diabetes is a condition in which too little or no insulin is produced by the body, which leads to high blood glucose (sugar).

how does diabetes affect your eyes?Diabetes affects many parts of the eye. Early in the disease, there are often no signs or symptoms. Symptoms of diabetes may be blurred, fluctuating vision, double vision or flashes and floaters. Diabetes may also contribute to the development of cataracts and glaucoma. The most serious complication of diabetes is diabetic retinopathy.

What causes diabetic retinopathy?Diabetic retinopathy occurs when high blood sugar damages the fine blood vessels of the retina, the light-sensitive film at the back of the eye. This causes the vessels to leak blood, the retina to swell and new blood vessels to start growing. If left untreated, diabetic retinopathy can cause blindness.

Who gets diabetic retinopathy?The risk of developing diabetic retinopathy is greater if diabetes has been present for a long time or blood sugar levels are not well controlled. Other risk factors include smoking, poor diet and elevated blood pressure.To reduce the risk of developing diabetic retinopathy, it is important to control your blood sugar levels as much as possible.

how does an optometrist diagnose diabetic retinopathy of your eyes?It is common for your optometrist to put eye drops in your eyes when checking for diabetic retinopathy. They may need to take a scans or a photograph of your retina for comparison at your next eye examination.If you are diabetic, your optometrist may need to see you more often than once every two years. They will usually refer patients whom they suspect have diabetic retinopathy to an ophthalmologist (eye surgeon) for confirmation and treatment.

how is diabetic retinopathy treated?In its early stages, diabetic retinopathy is monitored with regular eye examinations. If more severe diabetic retinopathy is suspected, your optometrist will refer you to an ophthalmologist for treatment. If needed, the ophthalmologist may use anti-veg injections or laser to treat the leaking blood vessels. In some cases, eye surgery may be required.Treatment for diabetic retinopathy aims to prevent further damage to the eye and keep the best vision for as long as possible. Usually surgery cannot restore vision that has been lost.It is important to remember that early detection and if necessary, treatment are the best ways to reduce the risk of vision loss from diabetic retinopathy.

BIG JACKContributed by John Blackmore

Soccer, or football, is the world game. The biggest participator sport across the globe. In fact, there may be more countries who are member nations of its world governing body, known as F.I.F.A., as there are of the United Nations. In 2020, the I.O.C. has had to postpone its quadrennial festival known as the Summer Olympics due to the worldwide pandemic we have been collectively enduring. And in that world where everything has been turned upside down, two things have stood out in ‘the world game’ for Australian soccer fans with long memories. The first has been a decision by the Federation of International Football Associations (F.I.F.A.) to allocate the 2023 Women’s World Cup to a joint bid between Australia and New Zealand. While this is not a new arrangement, with Japan and Korea having been given joint hosting rights for the 2002 Men’s World Cup Finals, it is a tournament which will cross confederation boundaries. That is, Australia is a member of the Asian Football Confederation, while New Zealand is a member of the Oceania Football Confederation. Secondly, in the pantheon of great sports people, there is few bigger names in the biggest sport in the world than the Charlton brothers from northern England. Scouted in the 1950s as to two of the most well known clubs in the English game, Manchester United and Leeds United, Bobby and Jack Charlton then went on to play leading roles in the 1966 World Cup Finals winning England combination. To date, still the only victory in this tournament for the inventors of the sport whose laws were first formalised in 1863, in England. The Association Rules football code’s name then became shortened to ‘soccer’ as the sport spread globally.On July 10th this year, Jack Charlton died at 85 years of age. The news of Jack’s death travelled

around the world in the days that followed. In keeping with the unfortunate trends stemming from the worldwide pandemic this year, the precaution had to be taken for Bobby Charlton to not attend his brother’s funeral. On the day of his funeral, his cortege travelled from his hometown of Ashington, touring all his favourite spots in this Northumbrian mining town where the brothers grew up together. Despite the family giving instructions for the well wishers on hand to ‘socially distance’ along these streets as the cortege proceeded, thousands upon thousands of people came out to honour one of the great players and personalities of world sport.Jack’s number five red England jersey was honoured on his coffin. As a centre half defensive player, with his brother Bobby as a centre forward scoring goals, and Gordon Banks as goalkeeper was saving them, their positions in the 1966 England team could be compared to ‘the spine’ of any football team in any modern footballing code. For readers not familiar with ‘the world game’, there is a well known saying in soccer that “Banks saves, but Pele scores on the rebound”. Considered by many critics and fans as the best soccer player ever in world football, the Brazilian wiz Pele became the youngest player to be part of a World Cup winning combination in 1958. As a 17 year old, Pele scored two goals in the World Cup Final of that tournament. Twelve years later in the finals tournament held in Mexico, Pele played a major role again to help secure Brazil their third World Cup title. This performance cemented Pele’s greatness for all time, despite the best defensive efforts of Jack Charlton, Gordon Banks and their teammates when these two teams met. England were the defending champions in 1970, with Brazil the tournament favourites, and eventual winners. While the saying at the end

Monthly Feature

of the last paragraph does not quite match what happened when Brazil defeated England 1 nil in this tournament, it does sum up how fans felt. Gordon Banks did save a Pele shot brilliantly, but it was his Brazilian teammate Jairzinho who scored the only goal of the match between these nations. Almost ten years after Jack Charlton played his role in helping England win the 1966 World Cup, he came to Australia as manager of Middlesborough F.C. Their 1975 tour Down Under included a match in Wollongong. When the Shoalhaven Soccer officials were made aware that Middlesborough would have a spare day in their tour schedule, they were quick to apply to bring them to the local district. A day of coaching clinics was held at H.M.A.S. Albatross, with busloads of junior players being transported out to the base for the day from a central pickup point in Nowra.When they arrived at the naval air station, it was arranged for the Middlesborough squad to be sat down to a luncheon in the senior sailors mess. Manager Jack Charlton expressed great surprise when steaks hanging over both sides of the plates were served for his players as part of their meal – with a charge of only 20 cents per steak! What he didn’t realise was that the real cost of lunch would come when the executive officer of H.M.A.S. Albatross, Commander W.K. Bird, would insist on Jack putting his team out to play the Shoalhaven Under 14 representative team who were part of the coaching clinics. This set of professional footballers, which included an English and a Scottish international, had no option but to play on the Commander’s home turf. Many of them did not have playing strips with them, and therefore played in their travelling outfits. The local junior representative team won this scratch match two goals to one against the Middlesborough professionals, but it was a different story a few nights later when the English first division team played their tour match in Wollongong. The Shoalhaven Under 14s were handsomely beaten that evening by a strong Illawarra Under 14s rep. team at ‘the

Balls Paddock’ ground at Woonona. This was the curtain raiser match before the local Illawarra senior men’s team against Middlesborough F.C. The crowd of close to 10,000 people made for a special atmosphere under lights. Three of the South Coast United players of that period had been part of the Socceroos squad who had participated in the World Cup Finals for Australia in Germany only 12 months before. A couple of other things came out of the 1975 Middlesborough F.C. visit to H.M.A.S. Albatross. One was a photo of Kirk Bradley kicking a soccer ball with Jack Charlton. This was taken by N.S.W.A.S.F. publicity officer Warwick Hanley, which subsequently became the front cover of the Season 1975 Annual Report for the state body in the sport. Kirk was to be in the very first classes of Sanctuary Point School after it opened in 1976. Along with his older brothers Kyle, Kelvin and Ken, he was growing up in the local area at the time. Their mother Marina Bradley was the subject of an Monthly Feature article (March 2004) in this publication’s first year. Another lasting memory was the advice of Jack Charlton about how to play soccer. “Control the football in the air son, and you will control the game”. This advice was part of Jack’s theory of how to best play the game. It was one that BIG JACK took to the highest levels of the sport. Known as “the direct route to goal”, it saw an underdog Republic of Ireland team he managed make the quarter finals of the 1990 World Cup in Italy. For a minnow footballing nation, this gave the people of that country great hope. It also led to the Catholic Church’s Pope John Paul II giving Jack and his players a hearing at the Vatican in Rome in honour of their achievements. This achievement was again respected in July this year, well over a quarter of a century later, when Jack Charlton was still described as ‘an honorary Irishman’ at his funeral.As a song written by John Lennon in 1970 once put it, “a working class hero is something to be”.

PreSident’S rePort 2020 – Judy KoWalSKiIt has certainly been a different and challenging year. At the beginning of June last year, the weather was much warmer and the last of the eggplants were growing well, whereas this year the colder southerlies came in May and kept coming.

The summer bushfires meant we ran out of water in our tanks, then the coronavirus hit, so we have had to be flexible and adjust to new conditions. I thought I would take a look at the aims of the garden in reviewing the last year.

the aim of the garden is to provide food gardening and educational opportunities that promote good health and wellbeing using organic principles. This has had implications on all aspects of our food gardening.

We have had successes regarding food, having a surplus for pickles and chutneys made for fundraisers, and able to give food to other organisations such as Meals on Wheels and Sanctuary Point Public School.

New produce has been grown such as peppino, okra and saltbush plus the expansion of the orchard.

All this has been enhanced by the continued work of the composters and the donations of food scraps, horse manure, pigeon poo, coffee grounds, grass clippings plus acquiring tip mulch.

Most importantly the netting of the front garden, thanks to Club Grants, which will

ensure freedom from the cabbage moth especially important at this time of year. Many thanks to the supporters of the garden, who have donated excess produce such as chokos, olives and plants.

Due to the horrendous summer and lack of rain we were donated money to buy 2 new water tanks, most gratefully received from Bay and Basin Community Support Group Inc., although we are still waiting for the promised winter rain.

We are continually learning through new members, and from problems with fungus on the Marion berry and garlic, which we have treated organically.

We have revisited principles of planting green manure crops and leaving beds fallow to rest until spring. You might also say the abundance of eggplants and the failure of half a bed of sweet potato will influence our planning next year.

educational opportunities can be seen in the new wicking beds and through our Facebook page with 453 followers. With support of BBCR we have run a range of workshops including Vegetable Garden Basics with Sanctuary Point Connect aimed at making your own compost bins, worm farms and growing from cuttings. Thanks, Marion, for your support in this.

We also ran another multicultural Taste of the Bay and Basin with 6 workshops as well as Pickling and Preserving which were run by past and present members and supporters; thanks Dale, Ellen, Elaine, Judy, Marielle, Margaret, Bashar and Alice.

About 20 people participated with 3 new members and 1 previous member, who has re-joined. Even Alice has learnt to make lemon butter with two fundraisers not operating.

Our continued support of past and present members is an important part of our health and wellbeing. COVID 19 has also shown our flexibility and resilience with reduced hours for members in the slower winter season so that all can participate and keeping social distancing.

This has also been extended beyond the garden – with us supporting Propagating Kindness Gardeners for Fire affected South Coast Gardens and St Georges Bush Fire Brigade. Well done all – JKThe choko challenge is on! We have new sprouting fruit, and we will try again, to grow this perennial vine which is “easy to grow, with vigorous growth and abundant fruit”.

Rich in vitamins E and C, fibre, folate and pantothenic acid and low in fat, they are a good source of food, they are a little bland by themselves, but so is tofu.

They need good rich soil (we have that) plenty of space with support (we have that too) sun?..... Yep! Water? Tick..... so here we go again!!

2. You’ll improve your health – All thatenergetic cleaning is great exercise,but house-tidying helps your healthin other ways, too. A dirty homeaccumulates more dust, mould andmildew.
