KILLY CARES INAUGURAL FUNDRAISER - A SUCCESS The inaugural fundraising event for the newly established local charity, Killy Cares, was held at Bells on September 12 and was a great success. The committee of Killy Cares would like to thank everyone who attended or otherwise supported this event. It was a great example of the generosity of locals and their desire to be part of something that will, in both the short and long term, benefit members of our community. After paying expenses associated with the lunch, approximately $4500 was raised. This provides a solid financial base upon which we can build to ensure Killy Cares can support people in need not only through the volunteering efforts of community members but also where services or equipment may need to be purchased on behalf of an individual. The committee has drawn up a tentative list of individuals who may need the support or help of Killy Cares and as more people become aware of how Killy Cares can help, we expect that our list will grow. We are aware that many services already exist within the local and wider community and will take steps to ensure that Killy Cares does not unnecessarily duplicate these services. As we become more established we will have a dedicated website which will provide information about the aims and intent of Killy Cares, ways in which residents can support it, and links to other organisations with similar aims. If you have any questions or comments about Killy Cares, please feel free to contact us by sending an email to [email protected]. Killy Cares will be selling raffle tickets and other items at the Pretty Beach Markets on the October long weekend. WTKCA WEBSITE: www.wagstaffetokillcare.org.au SHORIN RYU SHORINKAN KARATE AT WAGSTAFFE HALL? International Film Fight Choreographer & Shorin Ryu Karate Master Greg Van Borssum & his family recently moved to Killcare. Greg is interested in teaching children in the local area the martial arts/ self defence disciplines/techniques. Greg has over 37 years of international experience in the Martial Arts with over 25 years in Shorin Ryu Karate. What is Karate? Karate is a unique art with which one can develop the ability to defend oneself while at the same time cultivate qualities of the mind such as perseverance, confidence, humility and concentration. Shorin-Ryu Shorinkan Karate is characterised by its speed and daring together with precise techniques in moving from defence to attack. It is a discipline for tempering the body and mind to instill in the individual an attitude of proper behaviour, and honourable action. Karate-do also involves the cultivation of a student’s compassion and morality through the acquisition of the essence of the skill itself. Some 90% of all Karate systems known today come from Okinawan Karate with Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Shorinkan Karate-do having the longest history among the various karate styles, dating back 600 years. At first the student wishing to learn Karate-do must shape up through basic training (Kihon) before being assigned the training (Kata) or form, which should be foremost in importance. Kata is a system of practice designed to develop defensive and attacking movements and an understanding of certain natural laws. When studied over long periods of time, these movements and laws become second nature. The student moves onto practice, pre-arranged sparring with partners and finally they are moved into free sparring (Kumite). Shorin-Ryu Karate has survived the ages and it will continue to be a significant discipline in years to come. It teaches students in a style which attempts to retain its purity of philosophy, tradition, and history. It is an art of the mind as well as of the body, seeking the qualities of correct manner, honest behaviour, kindness and politeness, in conjunction with the development of physical Karate Techniques. For more information and to provide feedback on the proposal please contact Greg on: 0414824969 or email: [email protected] or visit the national headquarters website: http://www.shorinkan.com.au/ TURO PARK EXTENSION UPDATE On Friday 19 September, members of the Committee met on site with the new Manager of Culture and Corporate Business Operations at Council, Mr Phil Cantillon, together with Kim Radford and Councillor Deanne Bocking, to discuss our proposed draft plan submitted to Council on 25 April. The Council is generally supportive of the draft plan, and pleased that the community is supporting local developments in this way. It will refer a couple of points to Council staff, to ensure compliance with required Council standards, and will advise us of the anticipated costs for carrying out this work. We'll keep you posted on progress, and hope that we will all be in a position to proceed so that planting can take place during the appropriate weather after the heat of summer, in March next year. It will be a great improvement once completed, and we look forward to hearing your ideas for future projects to enhance our daily life in this area. A number of you already have ideas, I know! Peta Colebatch, President WTKCA October 2014 What could spoil retirement? — free community seminar Among the speakers on Sunday October 12 at Hardys Bay Club will be Mr Jim Longley, the Chief Executive at NSW’s Department of Ageing. Along with Dr Jeanette Martin and representatives from select local service providers, the event will also provide answers to questions about ageing such as: What to expect as we get older, health hazards in retirement, what's normal, caring for someone, what help is available, how to stay positive. Entitled “It’s attitude, not age”, the seminar is for those who are caring for elderly family and those wondering how to handle what could lie ahead for themselves. Hosted by Hardys Bay Community Church, Pastor Stephen Hinks says, “If 50 is the new 40, there’s a big space between ‘mid-life’ and ‘old age’. For those in that space wanting to enjoy life ahead and especially retirement, this is a very informative session on ageing positively.” Keynote speakers: Mr Jim Longley, Chief Executive at Ageing, Disability and Home Care, Department of Family and Community Services, NSW Government. Dr Jeanette Martin, consultant psychiatrist and psychotherapist working from Brisbane Waters Private Hospital. Representatives from NSW Health and Gosford Council. Sunday, 12 October from 11am to 12.30pm. Hardys Bay Club, 14 Heath Rd, Hardys Bay. Stay on for drinks and a special menu lunch at the Club’s Bistro 14.

New Playground Equipment for Stanley St. Park – Killcare Following an approach by Council in April regarding a proposed park upgrade, WTKCA has contributed $1,826 to fund installation of swings.
