All the walk up artists as well as the main guest performers “TWO GOATS AND A FISH” made it a really special night of music again. In April, we will have a slight change of date: Because the first Friday in April turns out to be GOOD FRIDAY, we are holding the music exchange night on Friday 10th April instead. So please mark your calendar for that one. Guest artists on the 10th April will be “JIM AND SUE” from Bonny Hills. It will be fantastic to hear Jim and Sue again. Jim and Sue have been performing their heartfelt original songs, and carefully selected covers, together for eight years now. Their style could be described as acoustic folk, sometimes with a dash of soft rock, sometimes with a hint of country, blended with their beautiful vocal harmonies. Jim plays the acoustic guitar and Sue plays the djembe (goblet shaped hand drum) and percussion to accompany their lovely voices. Then on Friday 1st May, the main guest artists will be Kendall’s very own home made Computer Classes Held at the Kendall Community Centre Starts 22nd June 2015 Every Monday for 5 weeks Cost is $10 per lesson Limited numbers book early Phone 6559 0055 to register Up in Annie’s Room By Alvena Wonderful band “Up in Annie’s Room” will have you up and dancing with their exciting mix of jazz, tango, Romany swing and klezmer.

The old boards will be sealed and kept for use on a future project or wall decoration in Fatty’s shed. A big thank you to the Kendall Men’s Shed from Fatty The Rat Rod. Kendall Solar Neighbourhood Update By Michelle Lopert Eight years ago, the Kendall Solar Neighbourhood scheme installed solar panels on 90 houses. Householders received 60 cents kilowatt/ hour tariff for the solar electricity they fed into the grid. This generous tariff runs out late 2016. People who joined after the cut-off date only received a paltry amount, between 6 and 12 cents a kw/h. A high Renewable Energy Target encourages investment, jobs, makes energy cheaper, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. Sadly, our present government is addicted to fossil fuel and resists raising the target. The solar industry is expanding rapidly. It is currently generating $2 trillion annually worldwide and may displace fossil fuels within the next 15 years. Within two years, solar energy will be at grid The Kendall Chronicle Friday 3 April, 2015 Kendall Solar Neighbourhood Update (cont) By Michelle Lopert parity in 80% of countries around the world. Grid parity means that the cost of renewable energy is equal to (or less than) the cost of energy from the electricity grid (whose sources are coal, oil, gas). When a source of energy reaches grid parity, it becomes a viable contender as an energy provider. Germany reached grid parity in 2012 for its rooftop-generated solar energy. If electricity prices become too high, and the feed-in tariff for our solar contribution is too low, then people will opt out by choosing a stand-alone system. Here’s how it works: In the past, the only way to store solar energy was with expensive, heavy, lead-acid batteries. These have been replaced by compact, lowmaintenance, lithium-ion batteries. Through improved battery technology and mass production, lithium-ion batteries will soon be affordable to the average household. Families and businesses with roof top solar panels can invest in storage batteries which allows them to disconnect from the grid. After initial costs, their electricity will be virtually free. Each household becomes a type of microgrid. There are other options. Some communities have got together, shared the cost of batteries, and formed a community microgrid. In late 2016 when high feed-in tariffs end, the electricity utilities and government will have to decide on a new feed-in tariff rate for those who contribute solar electricity to the grid. If they pay too little for our solar electricity, many people will opt for a stand-alone system. The utilities will lose customers. To maintain their profits, utilities would have to charge their existing customers more. High electricity bills would encourage remaining customers to purchase a solar stand-alone system, and the downward spiral would accelerate. Regardless of what governments and utilities do, the renewable energy industry is surging ahead. Technology and costs are changing in our favour. Meanwhile, we will keep the community informed of options.

But the Bendigo Bank offers customers something even more valuable – fossil fuel-free investment. While Australia’s ‘Big 4 ‘ banks continue to loan billions of dollars to coal and coalseam gas companies, Bendigo Bank refuses to bankroll these industries.

As major emitters of greenhouse gases, the fossil fuel industries contribute substantially to human-generated climate change. How refreshing, then, to be able to bank with an organisation that does not invest in fossil fuels! Recently, my partner and I joined the ‘divestment’ movement – we closed our respective accounts with members of the ‘Big 4’, and placed our savings with the Bendigo Bank. The divestment movement is having a huge impact overseas on banks which finance the fossil fuel industry, and is gathering momentum in Australia. (You may have heard of the powerful old Rockefeller family in the USA recently withdrawing all investments in the fossil fuel industry.) The move for us was easy – the bank even manages the switch for you. And there are many banks to choose from: just go to www.marketforces.org.au/banks/compare to find the one that best suits your needs. It can be frustrating and disheartening hearing about the inevitability of climate change. As citizens, we feel powerless in the face of enormous vested interests. The Bendigo Bank agency is a great asset to the Kendall community. It allows us to bank locally and employs local people. It works hand-in-glove with the community centre: the more people use the facility, the more the CTC benefits financially. But the more often ordinary people vote with their feet, the stronger is the message to our politicians and banks: for the sake of the planet and our children’s futures, stop financing the fossil fuel industries and start supporting renewable energy. It also specialises in financing small businesses, community projects, student scholarships, and supports organisations such as the Royal Children’s Hospital, RSPCA, Oxfam , emergency ser- It is encouraging that with the Bendigo Bank, we can now take a small step to help bring this about.

Port Macquarie Hastings Council has approved a further two year commitment for our continued operation of the information centre and associated activities, and negotiations are ongoing for maybe a further extension beyond two years. Council is most impressed and very happy with the success of the centre and positive on the role the centre is playing in attracting visitors to the Camden Haven and surrounding communities. We have been continuing work renovating the amenities at the Information Centre. The roof has been renewed and we have now moved onto replacing partitions, painting and updating the Ladies toilet internally. A most rewarding comment was made last week when a lady traveller called into the Information Centre informing us “that she would not stop at any other Ladies toilet between Sydney and Kew for cleanliness reasons” many thanks to our dedicated Volunteers. Our next step is to start on the Men’s toilets. The enjoyable part is that the travelers who are calling into the information centre enjoy what we have and are satisfied with the local knowledge of our volunteers. Great plans are ahead for the centre and Kew, more details on that later. Our next outing with the social club is in May once again to the Wine Appreciation night at Kendall. The Wine Tastings were so enjoyable many of the iKew volunteers decided to return. Plans are underway for a Soup and Slice Lunch in June which should suit those who do not drive of a night. We now have over 40 Volunteers rostered over the month. With Easter approaching we are gearing up for the “Driver Reviver” influx to start with the School Holidays and Easter Holidays almost upon us. We would like to thank the many Volunteers who have given their time for this most important service to road travellers. iKew open 10am-4pm, 7 days a week.

We request public opinion, through channels suggested on page 1, as to appropriate guidelines for how ‘Letters-to-the-editor’ are used, or potentially removed from the chronicle entirely. A recent article which asserted a position regarding the ‘Historic Wharf access’ may have unintentionally had concerning repercussions to the surrounding landowners who were associated in this debate. The landowners Megan and Basil reported that an act of trespassing and theft on the property may have been related to this issue being publicised. Both parties involved in the debate have attempted to discuss this matter through a third party i.e. ’Letters-to-the-Editor’. It may be more productive and less publicly confrontational in the future for members of the community to consider more direct forms of communication regarding sensitive issues. Megan and Basil have indicated shortly before this went to print that they “have never stopped access from the ‘town green’ to the ‘historic wharf’ with many people using this access regularly. The change to land surrounding the Historic Wharf has concerned some and been of little interest to others. Through mutual respect and open communication it is hoped that this issue will resolve itself over time. The Kendall Chronicle will provide further clarity on how the Historic Wharf is accessed in the next issue. We invite the community’s thoughts on appropriate guidelines in printing sensitive forms of communication. If anyone has experience in this area please make contact. Alternatively removing ‘letters-to-the-editor’ may be the best option.

Call for Help… John attended the Kendall Networking meeting and members are asked to consider the helping out with the following… Volunteers are sought for manning the Driver Reviver over Easter. Lemon Scented Tree Tea Oil. She passed around some sprigs and suggested rubbing the leaves vigorously to generate heat and to get the scent of the oil from the leaves. Tienke and her husband Jeff hand planted around 20000 trees. Pruning was done by hand. Original sales was in bulk, but eventually began selling in smaller quantities and continue to value add. The trees grow to about 2.5 m and are then harvested down to 60cm. The leaf is collected into a barrel that holds 700kg. 100kg of leaf is needed to produce 1 litre of oil. The harvested leaf is then steam distilled for 2 hours generating about 36 litres of oil. Total produced each year is around 130 t0 160 litres of essential oil. The generated mulch is put back into the plantation. The trees continue to be productive after 17 years of harvesting. They attend 2 markets each weekend and Contact John Carter or Barry Barr if you can help. Birthday Wishes… John Congratulated Margo on her milestone birthday for last month.
