Editorial OK, this is a big one - so get a cup of coffee, sit down, and take your time going through it.... By all accounts the Scotland Island 200 years festival was an outstanding success. Without question it will remain as one of the more memorable special events that this community has put on. It is events like these that bring out the very best in people, the comradary, the joy in sharing with the reaffirmation that we all belong to something special. A really big thank you has to go out to all the people that devoted so much of their time and energy to get the whole thing together so spectacularly. There are too many to thank here, and there is more (quite a lot more!) about that further in the newsletter, however, a special acknowledgment and praise must go to Emmie and the organisers for their extraordinary work in coordinating this event. Ellie Shore sums it up really nicely in her email....... "I think we should give a BIG THANK YOU to Tracy Smith, Lisa MacDonald, Emmie Collins and June Lamb for their amazing effort for the 200 year festival on the Island. It was not only a wonderful weekend, it gave many people the opportunity to view and listen to the history of our Island. In the talk tent, stories were told to a riveted audience of memories and life spent on the Island from as far back as 1960! One 96 year old ex-resident even made it with his walking frame, to the tent to address the packed audience. As I said to Bob Blackwood (here and much-loved since 1960 (?) ‘he’s lucky he can still walk’ Bob replied – “he’s lucky he’s still breathing!” What a day to remember – THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE EXPERIENCE!......" It never ceases to amaze what extraordinary talent and good will lies within this little community ! A call went out last month for people to send in photos of the festival. The idea is to have a great visual record of the bicentenary festival available for everyone to view online. So far we have more than 130 photos in our online gallery and we are still looking for more photos - so if you want to send some in please do so. Thank you to all those that have already contributed. There are 2 links set up below to view the gallery - the first takes you straight to a slideshow and the second takes you to the gallery where you will see thumnails of the photos.

Hope you enjoy them. Contents
 Special Note for Boating Commuters Lifejacket Reforms If you live at a water only access location such as Bundeena, Dangar Island, Scotland Island or the western foreshore of Pittwater and you commute in a boat less than 4.8 meters in length, you should familiarise yourself with the new regulations which will become effective from November 1 (2010) concerning the compulsory wearing of lifejackets. From that date, it will be a requirement that the boat be equipped with a Type 3 (Level 50 or Level 50S) lifejacket to fit every person on board and that under the following circumstances they must be worn:

The STEPS Program (State Eyesight Preschooler Program) will visit the Kindy on Tuesday October 12th at 10.15 am. This screening is open to all offshore children so if you have a 4 or 5 year old who is starting school next year and wish your child to be screened - call the Kindy on 9979 7856 for further information and to arrange for a consent form. Visit by the Coastal Environment Centre The Coastal Environment Centre will be bringing its ‘Where the Land Meets the Sea” pre-school program to the Kindy on Wednesday 27th October at 10.00.

Speakers and displays on how to retrofit your home more sustainably Workshop on How to live with less chemicals Speakers and displays on painting with natural paints and using toxin free Pest Management Lots more so open the flyer/programme and come along (click the image to load) Steering Committee Sustainable Living Expo Linda Haefeli Tony Edye Sally Wilson Catherine Giraud-Kinley Island Cafe Reminder Dear All, Sad news this weekend. The cafe will not be open. Nor will it be open next weekend. We had a very slow day last week – though the number of cakes went up, so THANK YOU to our generous cake makers. The theory is that as this is now school holidays, many people are away, so we will stay closed until our faithful following is back. We will next open on Sunday 17th Oct. Suggested activities in our absence: (1) Make some coffee at home, sit down with your loved ones and list 10 reasons why the cafe is so nice to come to on a Sunday morning. Send me those reasons, so I can use them in the advertising as I am running low on ideas. (2) Go for a nice bracing swim on Sunday 10th, as it will be high tide at 9:42. Mud bath this Sunday (3rd) as it will be low tide at 9:33. (3) Clean out those cupboards you never touch and donate all the things you haven’t used for a year to charity. (4) Take a good look round at your house and your family and your island and remember why you love living here. (5) Look up some new cake recipes on the internet, ready to bake some cakes for when the cafe is back! (6) A special one for those without children - lie in bed all morning nursing a raging hangover, and then have a big cooked brekky in the sun. Don’t forget, folks, daylight saving apparently starts this weekend. See you in a couple of weeks! Cafe Crew Andrew Thompson lives on.. When I revisited my Scotland Island, I was amazed to see all the changes that had happened since I died in 1810. Couldn’t find my saltworks – how Sydney town can get along without the 90Kg I’ve been shipping down every week, I just don’t know. And the ‘Geordy’ – no sign of it. All I’ve found is a tiny rowing boat to work on. As for my house – couldn’t find that either. But where did all the people come from? – not like the Scotland Island of my day. I sat in the History Tent for a couple of hours and listened to some characters who seemed to know a thing or two. One character, Rick, was telling us what it was like 350 million years ago – can’t remember that far back – very interesting though. Another character, Leicester, was talking about 30 years ago and the newsletter he used to write – that was good stuff – and funny! Afterwards, I wandered over to the Eco tent (that’s a funny word), read their Vision draft, talked to another character about how to install a system to make the water off the roof clean as a whistle, and discussed a nice simple way to have my own chook yard. A lot of music going on – a bit different to what we were used to in Sydney town. What I really liked was the procession of all the little children with their lighted lamps, with a huge replica of me at the front – very impressive (although my head - well, it didn’t sort of do me justice – as they say – I’ll have to talk to Gov. Mac about improving the quality of statues). Whoever organised the day did a grand job – could come and help me manage the Gov’s farms in Windsor any day – or manage my 5 ships – or run my brewery – or hotel – or tannery. I’ll certainly pop back when they hold the next one – I guess that’ll be in a hundred more years – 2110? – I’ll make a note in my diary. Andrew Thompson (1773 – 1810) 200 Years Festival Scotland Island  With Thanks The purpose and meaning of this occasion brought out, in all its unique splendour, our extraordinary community of exceptional people who, whether organising, participating or just coming along to enjoy, created a weekend of learning and laughing; the telling of our story, past and present. Together we remembered what matters to us and what makes us who we are...thank you! Please take the time to read these acknowledgments, recognising the giving spirit of so many: Main Organisers:

Jenny’s written: Thank you to all those who contributed the wonderful array of photos which made the exhibition possible, and a huge thank you to those who actually created the exhibition. Church Point Ferries provided financial sponsorship of this crucial aspect of the festival – huge thanks to Penny and Simon Gleen for their generous support. We would again like to thank the local studies librarian, Sarah Thompson, at Pittwater Library, who lent us the exhibition she had already assembled and also scanned further photos for us. Jim Macken also lent his informative photo display boards which West Pittwater Fire boat picked up for us. Many people contributed photos and stories, too many to name, but a few gave large collections which were really helpful: Tom Gibbs (three boards’ worth of black and whites from the late 1920’s on), Sandy Walker and Annette Freeland, Joh Duhig and Barbara Labram, Jane Morgan, June Cunningham and Carmen Ky. The talks in the History Tent provided wonderful depth and many laughs. Thanks to our MC’s – Bob Blackwood, Tanya Mottl and Sandy Walker and our “booked” speakers – Rick Le Plastrier, Bob Waterer, Leceister Warburton, Marg Malloy and Tony Dawson who came at very short notice when we learnt that Jim Macken could not join us. It was a very welcome surprise to have Bev Gill and June Cunningham arrive and tell us about growing up here in the 1950’s, as well as the many other tellers of tall tales and true who enlivened the day. The Organising Group: Shar Jones sourced historic photos, developed a photographic archive and curated the Island Memories exhibition. Helen Webster and Suzanna Franki organised the kindergarten exhibition. Chuck Bradley didn’t realise he’d been channelled to the Island just in time to give his professional skills to scanning and enhancing old black and white photographs and to cutting mounts. Alison Leck scanned coloured photos and also a few black and whites. Take your own in to Digido, her scanning business in Darley St. Amber Ellis, mount cutter extraordinaire, designed and fabricated the environmental friezes. Lesley Woods fetched and ferried photos to and fro, and gave input together with Bob Blackwood, Dick and Margaret Hughes and Alan Yuille. Tanya Mottl and Lisa McDonald prepared the Second and Third Generation and Gone but not Forgotten displays, along with a crew of helpers: Gill Unwin, Bec Tringham, Bec Erdmann, Cher Bailey, Adrian Cullen, Tracy Smith, Tracy Ponich and all those who were rostered on to Island Memories exb. In Kindy Jane Morgan (and John) created and hung most of the displays in the Community Hall. Juliette Robertson – photo fixer Emmie Collins secured funding, materials, venues and equipment needed.

If you enjoyed the historical displays and want to learn more about our local history, join Manly, Warringah and Pittwater Historical Society by contacting the secretary, Tony Dawson, at dragdawson@hotmail.com. A BOOK ? The festival gave us a good kick start to start recording memories and collecting photos and memorabilia to form a growing archive, but it’s too precious to just slip away again. In the fullness of time, we’d like to keep ball rolling and bring this together to create a truly unique record of our personal stories and collected history. While you’re inspired, start to jot down your own or other’s memories. There are several ideas for a book – join the discussion and contact Jenny Cullen at amjmcullen@spin.net.au or Tanya Mottl at tanya.pittwater@century21.com.au Congratulations and thanks again to everyone......Emmie
Pittwater Council’s mayoral elections held at the Council meeting on 20 September have seen Mayor Harvey Rose and Deputy Mayor Jacqueline Townsend re-elected by their fellow Councillors unopposed for a second term. Both Mayor Rose and Deputy Mayor Townsend will serve in their positions for another 12 months until September 2011. Mayor Rose said the election was testimony to a Council ‘working well’. “We have a good blend of long-serving Councillors and more recently elected Councillors,” he said. “I believe we have a very good Council. All Councillors are elected as independents and there are no factions or personal antagonisms.” “All Councillors approach each issue with a view of making a decision which is best for our Pittwater community,” Mayor Rose said. Mayor Rose commented that the Council faced many challenges during the coming years. “There is the need to maintain appropriate development while stopping overdevelopment. The issue of the Meriton proposal for Warriewood Valley is of crucial importance, not only for the future development of the Valley but all Pittwater,” Mayor Rose said. Mayor Rose said that other issues facing the Council included the development of youth services, the fate of Currawong and maintaining adequate services at Mona Vale Hospital. He said the recent community survey on the Council’s performance provided very positive feedback while pinpointing areas that needed to improve. “The survey is part of an ongoing process to enable the Council to improve performance and services where there are identified gaps,” he said. “The Council will continue to make every effort to build upon the best traditions of Pittwater and fulfil the aspirations of our community.” Media Contact: Harvey Rose, Ph: 9970 1104 Pittwater Hosts Sustainable Living Expo Pittwater Council is supporting the inaugural Sustainable Living Expo hosted by Climate Action Pittwater on Sunday 10 October. The Expo is on all day from 9am until 4.30pm at Mona Vale Memorial Hall Park Street in support of 350.org 10/10/10 – the Global Day for Climate Action. Organiser Tony Edye from Climate Action Pittwater said the Expo would feature nearly 30 displays and speakers on a range of sustainability issues, products and services aimed at helping residents live a more sustainable life. Director of Earth Trust and Al Gore Project Ambassador Brynnie Goodwill will introduce and wrap up the day’s activities. Ms Goodwill has a wealth of knowledge in the field of sustainability and works with OzGreen Donor Network seeking private and corporate sponsorships to help build sustainability hubs across the country. Pittwater Council’s Mayor Cr Harvey Rose paid tribute to Climate Action Pittwater for organising the event. “This group of concerned residents are showing in a very practical way how things can be done more sustainably, ranging from shopping through to renovating,” he said. Displays and speakers will cover topics such as sustainable retrofitting of existing buildings, low hazard and non-chemical pest management; zero emission housing, constructing ‘green’ walls and natural house paints. “Workshops will provide hands-on training in the areas of landscaping, energy efficiency, calculating your ecological footprint, plus the real-life experiences from local people who have become ‘sustainability champions’”, added Cr Rose. Alternative energy provider Autonomous Energy is a major sponsor of the Expo.

Trudy Engler Update 6th September 2010 Many people in the community generously offered some kind of assistance for Trudy Engler after John Saunders first sent out a report on her situation. Back then our aim was to organize some respite care for Trudy during the worst of the winter months. The situation changed due to Trudy’s deterioration and frailty and concerned parties applied for Trudy to be placed under guardianship. At that point in time Trudy was taken for assessment to River Glenn which is attached to Greenwich Hospital and she will remain there until other accommodation is found. Today John and I attended the Guardianship Tribunal and the two decisions made were, that Trudy be under the guardianship of a Public Officer and that John Saunders be the manager of her financial affairs. Subsequently I spoke to Trudy’s social worker Nerida Fallon who explained that the Public Guardian will rely upon the professional opinions of Trudy’s doctor, social workers and case officers as to the best place for Trudy to be. In theory she could even decide that Trudy could go home if this were in her best interest. As I understand she is still on the list for the German speaking hostel at Alhambie Heights. The situation will be reviewed in 12 months time. Whilst we all would have liked to see Trudy living in a comfortable home situation, the amount of care she needs now makes that very difficult. She is also being treated for depression, so any visitors would I think be greatly appreciated. There may be other ways we can assist Trudy in the future and so we will keep the community informed. If you would like to visit Trudy or take her out to lunch as some people have offered, please let me or John know and we will keep you informed as to where she will be going into care. Thank you Marion van den Driesschen and John Saunders  Author Talks at Mona Vale Library The Falling of the Year  By Cherry Cordner Based on a real murder which took place in Mount Gambier, South Australia in 1875, the dramatic events and subsequent inquest rocked the developing town.
