We also bring you the heart-warming story of local carers being needed to look after Labrador pups so that they can be trained for higher duties.

There is also an update on developments at Kiama's Akuna Street and Caliope Street, the drama surrounding Councillor Imogen Draisma facing a code of conduct investigation and a new eatery which is making waves in Gainsborough.

You can also read plenty of other community stories about Skin Check Champions, superannuation dangers and a column from Kiama Mayor Cameron McDonald.

In sport, we bring you the latest on South Coast cricket, the Illawarra Hawks' season coming to an abrupt end and a Gerringong junior starring in the Charity Shield but not for the Dragons.

And our intrepid photographer Brian Scott has been out and about snapping community sports stars doing their thing.

For the green thumbs, check out John Gabriele's latest video with advice for your garden.

The paper is available from all the usual outlets around the Kiama local government area - grab yours before it's too late.
