Sponsored by the Kendall Community Op Shop
‘Katherine Watts with some creative Easter
gifts at the Kendall Farmers market.’
Easter Bunnies are hopping out the door
at the Kendall Op-Shop.
As Easter arrives you
may be making plans to
catch up with family and
friends or perhaps taking
the opportunity to avoid
most humans all together. Whatever takes your
fancy this Easter we wish
you a happy and safe
holiday. Holiday’s are a
great time to reflect and
be grateful. So on that
note, a wander around
the community on Thursday was a good reminder
of how fortunate Kendall
is. Young entrepreneur
Katherine Williams was
offering some very creative wares for Easter at
the Farmers Market.
Whilst the op-shop volunteers were providing
us with a fantastic Easter
display!

Kendall Music Exchange
By Alison
Wonderful music lifted the heart and soul of
quite a large audience on Friday 6th March. 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

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

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.

Bendigo Bank
By Jane McIntyre
Only this week, The ‘Big 4’ banks have refinanced Whitehaven Coal, backing a massive
controversial expansion into an endangered
Woodland ecosystem. 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.

Ikew Update Report
By Peter Jepp
Firstly we would like to sincerely thank the
Kendall Community Op-Shop for the grant to
enable us to have a more sophisticated alarm
system installed. 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.

Letters to the Editor
By Jodie Neil
Sending letters into the Editor is
currently under scrutiny .
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.
