The Wholesome Collective Workshop
Thank you to Mary, Kerryn and Michael from The Wholesome
Collective, also Kate—Community Recovery Office from PMHC and
Sarah from Mid North Coast Local Heath and Lifeline.
What a fantastic night for over 20 lucky people who enjoyed the
fabulous simple cuisine, that we are all looking forward to re-
creating at home. Everyone enjoyed a great night. I think we all
learnt something new and really appreciated you answering our
questions and clearing up some misconceptions.
What a yummy Chicken (minus chicken for our vegetarian friends)
Pesto Pasta and the divine Beetroot, mix lettuce, fennel, lentil,
parsley and fetta cheese salad. There was also a fabulous dessert,
but unfortunately we all quickly devoured it before I got to take a
photo. Dessert was a mix of stone fruit poached with Star Anise
and Vanilla with yoghurt and pistachio nuts. I believe there are
several converts to lentils, and several of us that loved the idea of
holding back some of the poaching fluid to add to sparkling wine/
water.
Looking forward to having The Wholesome Collective back for some
interactive cooking classes, so keep an eye out over the coming months. Feedback after the workshop was
fantastic and we all loved our goodie bag and recipe book.

Greetings Telepointers
What a fun and informative evening we had with Wholesome Collective. They gave us each a cook book and fed
us as well! There is a possibility of organising an interactive cooking course in the future when the Covid19
restrictions are lifted so we will keep that in mind.
The work on the Hall supper room ceiling is progressing well. Even unpainted and without light fittings it’s looking
so much better.
The outside stairs on the hall are still unusable but we have obtained a couple of quotes and hope we can get
them replaced in the next month or two.
Great news! Following our continuing representations to Council on Log Wharf Reserve, we have now been
advised that Council are currently working on a Log Wharf Reserve Master Plan and all the hard work put in by
our committee will be a great asset in streamlining the process. They have also successfully applied for $50,000
towards improvements at Log Wharf Reserve and once the Master Plan is complete further consultation with the
community will take place.
The Rural Halls’ “Making Our Own Fun” exhibition is on display at the hall until Friday 19 March. Entries into the
Telegraph Point Photographic Competition are also on display and I encourage you to take the opportunity to
have a look at the work of our talented photographers young and old and vote for your favourite photo.
The next meeting of the TPCA will be at 7.00 pm on Wednesday 24 March 2021 at 7.00 pm and we welcome new
faces and new ideas.

Dear Residents,
Last month the brigade has been a little quiet with only one incident, early one morning in the rain, to
assist paramedics.
Again good response times and crew turnouts. Thanks team.
The quieter times have allowed us to carry out maintenance on our aging fire trucks.
Welcome to our new recruit, firefighter Josh English. It is great to see new young members helping out in
our community.
A big call out and thankyou to our great community and Telegraph Point Sport & Rec Club for allowing
us to conduct the Friday raffle. Special thanks to Pam Mcardle for organising everything.
Our brigade is now open again on Monday evenings from 7pm, Covid19 conditions still apply (closed on
public holiday Mondays).
Fire Permits
As usual this means that landholders are required to obtain a fire permit before commencing any
burning.
Local residents are encouraged to contact our local brigade to arrange a permit request. The Telegraph
Point brigade phone number is 65850103.
As many of our permit officers also work full time, our station is not normally attended and it can take up
to seven days for us to get back to you. Please be patient with us and leave a message. We will attempt
to return your call as soon as possible and make an appointment to meet you on site.

Six steps to reducing food waste https://www.lovefoodhatewaste.nsw.gov.au/food-smart-program Food Smart program is a six-step program with tips and handy resources to help you and your family reduce food waste, save money and help the environment. Step 1 - Know your waste Knowing how much food you throw away is one of the best ways to motivate yourself to take action. To work it out, take a container and put all your food waste in it, including plate scraps, leftovers and food that’s gone bad. Measure how full the container is after two days and make a note of the amount, so you can compare your results later on. Step 2 - Plan your meals A bit of planning will not only save you time and money, but also help you and your family enjoy a healthy and balanced diet. Best of all, you won’t need to worry about what’s for dinner after a busy day. Think about what meals you’d like to cook for the week ahead and write down the ingredients for each recipe. How you plan meals is up to you. You can start by planning three dinners or every meal for the whole week. Think about what ingredients can be used in more than one meal, such as mince in spaghetti bolognaise one night and tacos another night. Check what you already have in the fridge, freezer and cupboards that can be used up. When cooking meals like soups and stews, consider whether you can freeze the extra portions. That way you just need to reheat them for an easy meal another time. Step 3 - Shop with a list Here are our tips for a successful shopping trip. Make a list of what you need before you go, including ingredients from your planned meals and a check of the fridge and pantry to make sure you’re not doubling up. Only buy in bulk if you have enough room at home to store it correctly and can use it before it spoils. Include fruit and vegetables that are in season, as they keep fresher for longer and are usually cheaper. Don’t forget to grab your reusable shopping bags before you go grocery shopping. It’s a good idea not to shop when you’re hungry, as it’s much harder to resist impulse buys. Keep and eye out next month for the last 3 tips on how to reduce food waste. 8
SCREEN TIME
In 1970, a relatively small production company in Hollywood, Ross Hunter
Productions, made a relatively big movie, “Airport”. Based on a best-selling novel
by Arthur Hailey, (ironically, it was a prime example of what were called “airport
novels” : books you buy at an airport on your way to a holiday; thick but hardly
deep), “Airport” set the template for a wave of what quickly became known as
“disaster movies”.
The basic formula of the disaster movie was to take a mixed cast of famous, often older, stars and
younger not-quite stars and put them into some sort of disaster situation. In the case of “Airport”, it was a
snowed-in airport and a passenger carrying a bomb. The cast included Dean Martin and Burt Lancaster
as the pilots, actors who had been leading men in the Fifties, but who were reaching the twilight of their
careers.
Interestingly, Burt Lancaster transformed himself into a character actor and worked until his late
seventies, often in prestige European movies. Helen Hayes, who had begun her career as a silent movie
actress, made a spectacular comeback as an octogenarian stowaway, winning a Best Supporting
Actress Oscar.
There were three more sequels to “Airport” in the seventies, each more ludicrously plotted and cast, until
a send-up, “Flying High” (“Airplane” in the U.S) pretty-well hammered the final nail into the disaster movie
coffin.
Two years after “Airport”, another big budget, big cast movie, “The Poseidon Adventure” based on a
novel by Paul Gallico, was a huge hit and a dizzying string of disaster movies was to follow.
“The Poseidon Adventure” is set on an ocean liner which is hit and capsized by a giant freak wave. A
small band of survivors has to make their way to the bottom of the ship, which is
now the top. “The Poseidon Adventure” is a lot of fun, especially when the ship
actually capsizes and, like “Airport” before it, captured a Best Supporting Actress
Oscar, this time for the great Shelley Winters.
It occurred to me recently that Shelley Winters meets a watery death (sorry for
the spoiler, but hey, the movie is nearly fifty years old) in quite a few of her films.
She gets drowned in “A Place in the Sun” and once again in “Night of the Hunter” and then “The
Poseidon Adventure”. What was it about poor Shelley that directors always seemed to want to drown
her? I wouldn’t have been at all surprised if, in “The Diary of Anne Frank”, she’d thrown herself into an
Amsterdam canal.
There was a disaster movie revival in the late nineties (obviously that stake in the heart didn’t work),
usually based upon an environmental or astronomical disaster. “Deep Impact”, “Twister” and
“Armageddon” (which my friend Paul Brennan described as like sitting in a theatre and having pots and
pans thrown at your head for two hours) followed the general disaster movie template, except with
special effects taking precedence over celebrity casting.
So it was in the spirit of a bit of mindless fun that I watched “Greenland”, a new Netflix film about a comet
hitting Earth. The comet is named “Clarke, a cheeky reference to Arthur.C.Clarke, who wrote “2001: A
Space Odyssey”.And you know what? It was pretty damned good. With a cast of relative unknowns,
apart from Gerald Butler, “Greenland” is intricately plotted and really well directed. Butler plays an
engineer separated from his wife and young son and heading for divorce, who, while waiting for the
comet (which is expected to harmlessly pass by the earth) receives a text message telling him that he
and his family have been selected to move to an underground shelter. Clearly the government knows
more about Clarke than they are letting on. When a section of the comet annihilates the city of Tampa,
pandemonium begins. Being given access to the shelter is one thing, but actually getting there is another
and this is where the main body of the film occurs. The scenes of societal breakdown are scarily
convincing.
What I liked about “Greenland” is that it did not rely on splashy special effects. There are some terrific
effects but the overall film is very plot-driven. The pace never lets up and there are some truly wrenching
scenes when Butler’s friends and neighbours realise that he has been selected for sanctuary and they
haven’t.“Greenland” makes a terrific Sunday Night at the Movies. You won’t necessarily remember it a
week or so later, and now that I think about it, I’m not sure that I want a movie about a comet hitting the
planet to stay in my head. Life’s scary enough as it is. Then perhaps you could visit, or re-visit, some of
the seventies disaster movies. They are a lot of fun and about as scary as a visit to your Auntie Edna (I
actually did have an Auntie Edna).
Then watch “Flying High”, still the funniest movie of the eighties. Well, this side of Mel Brooks, anyway.

and runner up!
Come along on Thursdays for our regular Trivia night, lots of fun plus prizes for the winning
team. There’s a new theme every week. Register your team by 6pm for a 6:30 start.
Friday nights is the regular Meat / Fruit & Vege Raffles. Tickets on sale from 5:30 with the
first prize draw at 6:30. As well as a great quality meat tray up for grabs, we also have our
popular fruit and vegetable box to be won.
The Friday night raffles will raise money for our local community groups. Last week, the
raffles raised $505 to donate to the local Telegraph Point Rural Fire Service. If other
community groups would like to join our list for future fundraising, please contact the Club.
Come along to the raffles as every dollar raised for these groups helps many people.
