Inside this issue Congratulations to our

Australia Day Award winners Kiama’s strength of commu-

nity was on full show at a

ceremony to honour locals

who have made a contribu-

tion to its betterment.

The Chair of the Australia

Day Committee Neil Reilly

says that the quality of the

nominees was outstanding

and it was hard to make a

decision.

Well known local identity

Gerry McInerney (pictured)

was named our Australia

Day Citizen, for his contri-

bution to many organiza-

tions over the years. They

have included the Jaycees,

Kiama Lions Club, Kiama

Jazz Club, his local church

and the Kiama Hospital

Board. He came to Kiama as

a pharmacist in 1966, and

never left.

“Kiama is a beautiful

community,” he says. “You

couldn’t ask for a better

place to raise your children.”

He grew up in a family

dedicated to public service,

and it rubbed off on him

early. “I like to do my bit to

get make things better for

everyone,” he says.

Emily Stratten received

the Young Citizen Award

for her achievement in est-

ablishing the Kiama Actors

Studio, which has over 130

students. After scoring

100 in Drama for the HSC,

she has continued her stud-

ies at the Australian Institute

of Performing Arts and the

Actor’s Pulse in Redfern.

The Kiama Council Com-

munity Achievement Award

was won by Derek and

Nicole McMahon, who over

the last four years have

raised more than $400,000

for Camp Quality, as part of

its annual Convoy.

Bjorn Myers was pre-

sented with the Youth

Achievement Award, for his

work coaching and mentor-

ing junior tennis players.

At 17, the Kiama High

student is currently ranked

11th in the state and 36th in

Australia in his age group.

The Service to the Envi-

ronment Award went to

former Councillor Howard

Jones, for his many years of

tireless effort to protect our

local environment.

The Australia Day Comm-

unity Arts Award was

awarded to sculptor John

Cornwell. John’s work

can be found at the Pilots

Cottage Museum, at Rotary

Park on Storm Bay, at Coun-

cil’s Chambers, on Kiama’s

Memorial Arch and outside

the State Library in Sydney,

where he was commissioned

to make a sculpture of Matt-

hew Flinders’ cat, Trim.

Volleyballer Aidan Zingel,

who plays in Italy for half

the year, was recognized

for his achievements in the

sport, which include playing

for Australia over 140 times,

including at the Olympics.

Last year he captained the

national team to win the

World League.

Dreaming of exploring the pilgrim trails of Spain

and France?

Join veteran global traveller Garry McDougall as

he discusses his travels along the Camino De Santi-

ago pilgrim path (the Way of St James) in his new

travel books, Spanish Pilgrimage and French

Pilgrimage.

Described as “lyrical, humorous and poetic…

travel tales and town portraits, extraordinary and

divine… high-spirited and imaginative”, this is an

opportunity to see a beautiful part of the world

through another’s eyes.

Be prepared to be entertained and inspired to

book your ticket there, as Garry recounts some of

his many adventures.

Details: Tues 17 Feb, Kiama Library, 6pm. Free.

The books will be available for purchase.

Call 4233 1133 to book.

Lunch in Mumbai Pics and Flicks’ first movie

for 2015 is The Lunch Box,

with the plot centred around

Mumbai’s famously effic-

ient lunchbox delivery

system which transports

thousands of meals every

day from kitchens to

offices.

A Harvard University

study found that just one in a million lunchboxes is ever

delivered to the wrong address. This is the story of one

of those lunchboxes.

Ila, a neglected housewife, attempts to spice up her

marriage by preparing a special lunch for her husband.

When it is accidentally delivered to Saajan, a lonely

widower on the brink of retirement, they exchange notes

to each other to get to the bottom of the mistaken delivery.

Their notes gradually evolve into a series of intimate

little confessions about their loneliness, memories, regrets,

fears and small joys. Still strangers physically, Ila and

Saajan become swept up in a relationship built on the

fantasy of their letters.

Details: Fri 6 Feb, 8pm, with tickets on sale from 7.30pm.

Buy tickets for $10 on the night, or a yearly subscription

for 11 movies is $60. Enjoy discussing the film afterwards

over tea, coffee and cakes for just $3.

Living the dream: in the Members’ at the Sydney Test Not surprisingly, Kiama Lions’ President Peter

Scifleet didn’t have any trouble finding Club

members to volunteer to take Adam Regal to

the first Day of the Sydney Test. Adam was taken

for a tour of the Members’ Pavilion and enjoyed

a drink at the Members’ Bar.

He was lucky enough to be standing by the Play-

ers’ Entrance just as openers David Warner and

Chris Rogers walked past.

Lions have been active in raising money to help

fund research into Motor Neurone disease and assist

Adam’s family.

Kiama Lions is also set to enjoy its moment of

international fame, having been host to Rick Stein

at their Driver Reviver stand. Rick’s crew filmed

the visit for inclusion in his new series, to be

screened in the UK in three months time.

Vale Arthur Campbell: A community gives thanks

Consensus is that Kiama

has lost a favourite son with

the passing of former mayor

Arthur Campbell.

“I had the honour of

working with Arthur in the

latter part of his local gov-

ernment career and his

commitment and dedication

to the Municipality, and

particularly Gerringong,

shone through at all times,”

said Mayor Brian Peschler.

“He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word.

His passing is a loss to our municipality and the Illawarra

region.”

Arthur received an Order of Australia Medal in 2010

for his service to local government, to his church and to

Gerringong RSL.

Importantly, he should also be remembered as a good

farmer and family man. He took over his family farm,

Elambra, running dairy and then vegetables for the

Sydney market. He was devoted to his wife Loma,

his children Sandra and Garry, and their families.

He is remembered by his neighbour and good friend

Malcolm Weir as someone who always remained calm in

a crisis and who had extraordinary success as a fisherman.

“We’d be two foot away from each other in a boat with

the same equipment and he’d catch all the fish,” he says.

Just before Christmas, The Bugle asked him what the

most contentious issue was when he was mayor. He said

with a smile, “Parking.” Some things never change.

Each year Crooked River Wines celebrates the end of the

harvest with a traditional Stomping of the Grapes Festival.

Festivities are held in the beautiful grounds of the winery,

overlooking the mountains and ocean.

There will be a variety of baby farm animals for children

to pat and hand feed, and adults can partake in a free wine

tasting. Bookings are not required for this event, just come

along and join in the fun.

All proceeds from this family friendly event go to the

Westmead Children's Hospital and Bear Cottage.

Details: 8th, 14th, 15th, 22nd and 28th Feb,

If the Asian Cup has revived your interest in soccer, or

you’re a soccer tragic from way back, then get along to

Jamberoo over the first weekend in February for the

18th Annual Johnny Warren Memorial Cup.

Sixty six teams (both mens’ and womens’) will be play-

ing over the three days - that’s 660 players. The teams

come from all over, and the players range from enthusiastic

locals to Tony Henderson, former Australian captain, and

Ernie Campbell, one of the 74 Socceroos.

All share a deep respect for the legacy of Johnny Warren,

who did so much to popularise the game in Australia.

Johnny’s relationship with the Brazilian community

is always on show over the Cup weekend, with dancing

and Brazilian BBQs popping up on an ad hoc basis.

Friday night at the Pub should be very entertaining.

Details: Fri 6 to Sun 8 Feb

Kevin Walsh Oval, Jamberoo and surrounds,

including the Pub. For details check out The 18th Johnny

Get involved with tourism after hours Following the success of the networking event held before Christmas to

welcome the new Tourism Manager, Council is introducing a monthly Tourism

After Hours initiative.

With so many small businesses involved in the local tourism industry, and

the long hours they work, it’s a sad fact that many participants don’t get

much chance to socialise with their compatriots.

The informal gathering will provide an opportunity for participants in the

wider tourism industry to build relationships and share knowledge.

The venue will change each month, giving people an opportunity to get to

know each others’ businesses.

The first meeting will be held at the Little Blowhole Café on Tues 3 Feb.

Details: If you are interested in coming along,

contact suew@kiama.nsw.gov.au to join the mailing list.

opportunity to express our

sadness at the death of

Amanda Zoratto, wife of

A wide group of family

and friends will miss her

greatly.

Make some Lamingtons for Australia Day Amongst the traditional fare served at the recent Australia

Day Awards Ceremony, the Lamingtons proved a big hit.

Here’s the recipe used by the Little Blowhole Cafe:

• Buy some sponge cake (or make your own if you are

keen). Trim off the browned edges and cut into pre-

ferred shapes.

• Mix up the icing based on the following ratios, with

the base size depending on how much sponge you

have: 1 part cocoa, 8 parts icing mixture, 2 parts

boiling water and 1 part melted butter.

• Put the icing into one tray and coconut into another.

Take each piece of sponge, coat it in the icing, drain

off excess icing, then toss in the coconut.

Lamingtons can be kept in the fridge, but taste best at

room temperature. Worth the effort!

This year’s Riversdale Concert Series at Bundanon is

beginning on a classical note, with some of the finest musi-

cians in the country performing as the Sydney Soloists.

The group composes principal players of the Sydney

Symphony Orchestra (including SSO Concert master

Andrew Haveron) and has been hailed as a world class

chamber ensemble by critics and music lovers from around

the country.

The Sydney Soloists have performed at the finest concert

venues and festivals across the country including the Syd-

ney Opera House, the Sydney Festival, the Canberra Inter-

national Chamber Music Festival, and recently to sellout

audiences in China. They have recorded and performed

numerous live broadcasts for ABC Classic FM.

The program they have selected for the Riversdale

Concert Series includes Brahms and Mozart clarinet

quintets and the Cantilena Pacifica for String Quartet by

Australian composer Richard Meale.

A great opportunity to enjoy music in an intimate setting

with a spectacular view of the Shoalhaven River. Get on-

line quick to get a ticket as they are selling fast.

Jenny Asquith’s new exhibition,

Ripples: The Second Wave, is no ord-

inary exhibition. It seeks to show how

the arts can each influence and inspire

each other… like a ripple effect.

As Jenny explains it, her art is influ-

enced by music, poetry and dance.

“So I invited poets, musicians and

dancers in our community to respond

to my artwork in their own way, using

their own special artistic medium,”

she explains.

The project brings together members

of our community from groups who

may not have otherwise linked up:

building and expanding connections,

communicating through art and inspir-

ing each other along the way.

This ripple effect is in its second

wave with the first wave being exhib-

ited two years ago with great local

interest and enthusiasm.

The second wave includes Aboriginal

dancer, Bronty Smith, who choreo-

graphed a dance to original music by

local youth musican, Sam Marlton.

Their collaboration was inspired by

an artwork which was then projected

onto the stage during the filming of

the dance. The resulting video per-

formance will be screened during

the exhibition along with live music

performances by Simon Dios, Alex

Hallahan and John Litrich (among

others). Poetry will be on display with

some of the artwork and there will

be poetry recited along with the live

and video performances on Saturday

24 February from 6 to 8pm.

There will be a variety of colourful

paintings and contemplative etchings

on display for sale. The image pictured

is called Notes of Nature.

Details: 21-26 Jan, The Old Fire Station,

Terralong St, Kiama, 10-5pm.

Four names added to the Kiama Arts Honour Roll

Established in 2013, the Kiama Arts Honour Roll

provides a way of honouring outstanding achievement

within Kiama’s arts community, past and present.

This year’s inductees include two Kiama

born arts practitioners who achieved inter-

national prominence in their lifetimes, Orry

Kelly and Charmian Clift.

Kelly reached the heights in Hollywood

in the Forties and Fifties with his extraord-

inary costume designs, for which he won

three Oscars. Clift also left Kiama to find

fame as a novelist and essayist, spending

many years in the Greek Islands with her

husband, author George Johnston.

There to accept their awards were artist

John Downton, whose landscapes of the

ocean and country are represented in pri-

vate and public collections in Australia and

overseas, and Dennis Koks, the founding

president of the Kiama Jazz Club, constant

driving force behind Kiama’s music scene

and weekly music presenter on VOX FM.

They join Gerringong’s adopted son,

artist Lloyd Rees, on the Honour Roll.

Key strategic site secured Council has confirmed The Bugle’s report that it has

purchased the Mitre 10 site in Terralong St (which ex-

tends back to the Akuna St carpark). Contracts have been

exchanged for a purchase price of $3.4 million.

The almost 2000sqm parcel has been identified as key to

long term strategic town centre planning.

In the meantime, the hardware business will continue to

operate on the site as tenants.

The Bugle

Safranbolu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site about

five hours drive east of Istanbul. The old town is

tiny, but we spent several happy days just wander-

ing the winding streets and checking out what this

delightful little town had to offer.

You might have guessed it from the name, but

saffron is the main crop round here. And you’ll find

it in everything: there’s saffron tea (delicious, by

the way), saffron soap (also very pleasant on the

skin) and best of all: saffron Turkish Delight, which

we’d love to find somewhere back in Australia.

This is also where we had our first Turkish coffee,

a very different experience from our daily flat white

in Kiama. It’s a strong, thick concoction, brewed

over hot coals and poured with great ceremony from

a copper coffee pot. And of course you have to learn

the Turkish 1-2-3: they serve the coffee with water

and grape juice (because it’s so strong, I’m sure),

and the idea is that you drink a sip of water, take

a taste of the coffee and then a drop of grape juice,

presumably to ease the harshness of the coffee.

Safranbolu is full of wonderful historical buildings:

there’s a working hammam (shown below) where

you can still bathe away your troubles today; and

a fabulous caravanserai, built in 1645. You can get

a room there or have a cool drink as we did, while

imagining the place full of weary travellers and

camels 300 years ago.

We met a friendly bunch of Australians here too,

in a tour group travelling around Turkey. So if you’re

thinking of doing something similar for the Gallipoli

centenary, don’t miss Safranbolu.

What is browser hijacking? As reliance on the internet for financial transactions and

entertainment increases, the chances of being affected by

malign individuals and organised crime grows, and the

risk of theft of personal and financial information, or

computers rendered unusable, grows with it.

Browser hijacking is the unauthorised changing of a web

browser's settings, usually replacing the home page or

search engine. They generally direct ‘hits’ to particular

websites. The hijacked home page is often a search page,

but many also capture or track personal information.

The source of the hijack is often a downloaded program

with a ‘payload’ (a program that installs covertly whilst

another program installs). Some installers provide a tick-

box to reject the hijacker; however, it may be confusingly

presented, tricking users into installing the hijack – or it

may simply be ignored. The payload is often associated

with free and seemingly useful software, or the seemingly

useful software may itself be the hijack (‘malware’ or

malicious software).

Some browser hijacks are easy to remove, whilst others

may be much more difficult, requiring significant search-

ing and removal time – or even complete system recovery

and re-installation.

Another source of hijacks is ‘drive-by downloads’.

These may occur when clicking on links in websites or

emails or by clicking, for example, a pop-up window

believing it is an error report from the operating system,

or by clicking a ‘close window’ button on an annoying

but apparently innocent advertising pop-up.

In the next edition we will look at prevention measures.

Common symptoms of hijacking • Your home page or search engine has been changed, commonly to an unintended website or search page

• New bookmarks are added to your favourites, often to pornography or advertising sites

• Multiple pop-up windows appear in your browser

• Your computer runs (much) slower than usual

• Unsolicited new tools (such as search bars) appear

• You cannot access certain web pages

• Your browser becomes unstable with frequent errors.
