The BugleThe BugleThe BugleThe Bugle

In their preparations for

the 43rd Kiama Sevens, the

organisers have introduced

a dramatic change to the

tournament model.

With the support of the

Australian Rugby Union,

the major realignment is

designed to bring it in line

with International Rugby

Board (IRB) laws. It is

hoped this change will make

the Kiama Sevens an impor-

tant stepping stone to the

National Sevens Champion-

ship, and give players the

optimum pathway to even-

tual Olympic selection.

The impetus for the

change is the new status

of Rugby Sevens as an

Olympic sport. With the Rio

Games only a year out,

players are positioning

themselves for the team.

The competition used to

be run between 54 sides, but

this has now been reduced

to 40: 32 mens’ teams and

8 womens’ teams. In line

with IRB laws, the mini-

mum number of games for

each team has been in-

creased to three, with play-

ing time increased to seven

minutes each way with a

one minute half-time.

An important change,

to make the Kiama Sevens

an ARU Club Tournament,

is that nominations are no

longer accepted from com-

posite, representative or

international side (except-

ions are made for those

competing for the Dharawal

Trophy for indigenous

teams). The aim is to have

only players that would

qualify for national select-

ion on the field. It is

expected that Australian

Sevens’ selectors will be

represented on the day.

The changes will increase

the already high calibre of

players competing at the

tournament. In the last

three years thirty-five

players have gone onto the

Australian Sevens’ selection

trial, including Paul Asquith

from Jamberoo.

Sydney teams competing

in this year’s event include

West Harbour, Penrith,

Sydney Uni, Balmain,

Hornsby and Southern

Districts; with country

teams including Muswell-

brook, Jindabyne, Molong,

Grenfell and Hawthorne.

The Illawarra will be repre-

sented by Kiama, Wollon-

gong Uni, Camden, Shoal-

haven and the Woonona

Shamrocks. They will be

competing for prize money

for their club of $25,000

and the coveted trophies.

In what has become a

popular tradition, a helicop-

ter from HMAS Albatross’

Squadron 723 will fly the

trophies to the grounds.

Details: Sat 28 Feb,

Kiama Showground

From 8:30am, with finals

from 3pm. Entry $10

Each year a Navy helicopter delivers the trophies to the Showground. Be there by 3.40pm.

The first Council meeting of the year was a

packed one, with a number of controversial

matters being decided or deferred.

It followed the previous night’s Public

Access meeting, where both sides were able

to make their cases to the nine councillors.

Jamberoo sub-division approved

After seeking advice from a Senior Coun-

sel, Council approved the 67 Torrens Title

housing lots, 30 of which are restricted to

those aged 55 and older.

It is an issue that has divided the town

since it was first mooted, with concerns

being raised about over-development.

Kiama Hospital re-development

In response to Neil Reilly’s motion to

exclude the residential block sell-off from

the project’s planning, Council voted 5-4

to defer this decision until acquisition of

the land is complete.

“Deferral does not preclude us maintain-

ing the land, but it does give us time to

properly discuss all alternatives,” says

Councillor Kathy Rice. “We have never

had the opportunity to discuss other uses

for the land together, nor to extend this

discussion to other means of revenue rais-

ing for Council.”

Opponents of the sell-off will see this

narrow loss as an encouraging sign in their

on-going fight. 1500 signatures have been

collected in support of keeping the land.

Ultimatum to Kiama Tourism

It was agreed that unless Kiama Tourism

signed a Memorandum of Understanding

with Council by Friday 13 February then

Council would cease all funding to the

organisation. Under the new arrangements,

funding to Kiama Tourism was reduced to

$160,000 from 1 December.

The Memorandum is necessary to clarify

arrangements between Council and Kiama

Tourism following the introduction of the

new model, and the subsequent appoint-

ment of an in-house tourism manager.

It had been expected that the agreement

would be signed by 1 November.

World class classical musicians come to town With ‘Classical music the world over’

as their motto, once again the Cologne

Chamber Orchestra has included Kiama

on its Australian tour.

For the musicians, it is irrelevant whether

they are playing in a little village church,

in the open air, in Cologne Cathedral or in

the Sydney Opera House – their enthusi-

asm to play music is the same every time.

With the ensemble playing a program of Vivaldi, Mozart and Tchaikovsky, our beauti-

ful little Christ Church promises to sound like heaven.

Based on a true story, Pride depicts a group of lesbian and

gay activists who raised money to help families affected

by the British miners’ strike in 1984.

The National Union of Mineworkers was reluctant to

accept the group’s support due to the union’s public rela-

tions’ worries about being openly associated with a gay

group, so the activists instead decided to take their dona-

tions directly to Onllwyn, a small mining village in Wales,

resulting in an unlikely alliance between the two commu-

nities. The outcome will have you cheering.

Stars the wonderful Bill Nighy, and was a great hit at last

year’s Cannes Festival..

Work has begun on the ANZAC

commemorative Rotunda at

Jamberoo.

The base is ready and the

Rotunda itself will be erect-

ed as soon as the concrete

has fully cured.

Enough funds have been

raised to pay for the basic

structure, with the help of a

$10,000 grant from the State

Government, but more hands-

on assistance is needed with

the electrical work, painting

and landscaping.

Several local people have put their hands up to help with this work but more

would be welcome. If you can wield a paint brush or do some gardening please

contact Ken Jeffrey on 4236 0256 or Vivienne Marris at Elders Real Estate on

4236 0891.

A Dedication Ceremony for the Rotunda is planned for Saturday 2 May, a week

after ANZAC Day. More details of that day later.

Help Jamie get his Wish

Having won the Nutri-Grain

Ironman series in January,

and two Coolangatta Gold

titles in previous years,

Kiama’s Ali Day is now

setting his sights on the

ironman trifecta of winning

the Australian Title in April.

You’ll also soon be able to

cheer Ali on in a new series

of the reality TV show Iron-

man: Deep Water, this year

filmed in the US. It features

six of the best ironmen in

Australia racing in eight

different challenges. “The

twist is the competitors

know nothing about any of

the races until they turn up,”

says Ali. “It makes for great

TV. I think everyone will

love it.” It will screen first

in Australia, on Channel 9

in May.

Now based in Mooloolaba

on the Sunshine Coast,

24 year old Ali took three

weeks off after the Nutri-

Grain win, including spend-

ing time in Kiama with

family and friends, before

settling in back to training.

Ali began learning his

ironman skills as a under 9

Nipper with the Kiama

Kingfishers, and also

competed with the Kiama

Downs Nippers.

With The Bugle having

previously reported on his

sister Charlotte’s acting

aspirations (their aunt is

Nancie Hayes, so show

business is in the family),

is Ali about to launch an

acting career? “I think I’ll

leave that to her,” he says

with a laugh. “However it

would be great in the future

to get a job working with

the media covering the sport

of ironman. As the years

have passed, I’ve become

much more comfortable

in front of the camera, and

I really love the sport.”

Ali’s parents, Ross and

Kim Day, are still actively

involved in surf lifesaving.

What it takes to be Kiama’s

Nutri-Grain Ironman Champion

Weekdays: 5am swim of between 5 and 8 km;

go to gym or practise yoga; two hours’ afternoon

training on ski or board; and then a run of between

5 and 10 km. Saturday: big 4 hour session incorp-

orating all disciplines. Rest of the weekend off!

Once more, our community is being

called upon to rally together for one

of its own.

While some of you may know

Jamie and Chrissy Pignataro of

Kiama, all will sympathise with the

situation they have suddenly found

themselves in.

Jamie has always been the rock

of this beautiful family – his wife

Chrissy has a chronic illness, and is

hospitalised regularly, leaving Jamie

to be the primary caregiver and

provider for her and their two young

sons, Eli and Ari.

Jamie went to work onsite as a

carpenter early September like any

of us would on any normal day. He

had a massive seizure and finished the day

learning that the cause was a tumour cover-

ing a quarter of his brain. The next month

followed with a craniotomy and the shock-

ing news that Jamie's tumour was a grade 3

cancer.

Their life has changed immeasurably.

Jamie's diagnosis has not only taken away

his ability to work and provide an income

for a young family, but his independence

and driving licence. He is unable to do

almost anything without supervision, and

is currently undergoing radical treatment

of daily chemo and radiation.

Before fate stepped in, Jamie was work-

ing in his expert, perfectionist way on reno-

vating their house himself. The family

now has a minimal means of income by

any standards – and a house that is partially

renovated. His wish now is to ensure his

family have a renovated home and security

into the future.

Family and friends are organising a fund-

raiser to make Jamie’s Wish come true.

The cocktail event will feature entertain-

ment, an auction and a silent auction.

The community is rallying together

to make the evening a success and ensure

the maximum amount of money is raised.

The organisers are particularly grateful

for the support of WIN TV, Crooked River

Wines and this newspaper, as well as the

expert help being given by Steve’s Joinery

and Cook Building & Construction.

Preheat oven to 180C, or

160C fan forced.

Zucchini preparation

Cut one giant zucchini in

half length wise, and cut to

the appropriate length to fit

snuggly into the oven dish

you want to use. If preferred

you can cut into 2 sections

about 15-18cms, then pro-

ceed with next step. With

a sharpish teaspoon hollow

out the zucchini, or your

sections, along the length

ensuring you leave a wall

about 1 cm thick, no more,

at both ends and along the

sides. Think dug-out canoe.

The poaching sauce

• 2 brown onions coarsely

chopped

• 2 cloves crushed garlic

• 1 medium eggplant cut into

1-2cm cubes

• 2 cans chopped Italian

tomatoes or 6 medium

peeled, seeded and

chopped fresh ripe red

tomatoes

• Juice of half a lemon

• 1 cup chopped fresh basil

• 1 tspn cumin

• Fresh chilli (if you love it)

• 1 tspn sugar

• 1/3 cup of olive oil

• Salt and fresh ground

black pepper

Saute onions in the olive oil

until just starting to cara-

melize (don’t burn), add

garlic and toss about, then

cover and cook over low

heat for about 10-15 mins.

Add tomatoes and the other

ingredients to taste. Cook

for a minimum of another

5-10 minutes or gently sim-

mer away while you prepare

your zucchini stuffing.

Ideally the sauce will have

a soupy, lumpy texture.

The stuffing

• 4 cups of cooked rice

• 600-800gms of minced

beef, browned

• 1 red onion, finely diced

• 1 red capsicum, finely

diced

• 2 med carrots, finely grated

• 1 clove garlic, crushed

• Zest of 1 lemon, finely

grated

• 1/2 - 2/3 cup lightly toasted

pinenuts

• 1/2 - 2/3 cup dried currants

• 1/2 tspn of nutmeg

• 2 tblspn olive oil

• Salt and fresh ground black

pepper to taste

In the olive oil, lightly saute

onion till transparent, add

capsicum, carrot and garlic.

Toss over low heat for a

couple of minutes. Combine

this mixture and all the other

ingredients. Mixture will

easily mould by hand.

The topping

• 3 cups of Japanese panko

crumbs or 2 cups of nor-

mal bread crumbs

• 6-8 anchovy fillets diced or

more if you really love

them (leave out for vegan

version)

Mix together with fingers.

Assembly and finishing

Pour sauce into the bottom

of the baking dish, no more

than half way deep. Mould

and mound the rice stuffing

into your zucchini boats, be

generous and pat down a bit.

Mound the crumb topping

over the filling, pressing

down a bit.

Lift the boats into the bak-

ing dish on top of the sauce

– the sauce will come up the

sides of the zucchini. Place

in oven and bake away for

about 50-60 minutes.

The zucchini wall should

be soft but not mushy and

collapsing when done.

If sauce is looking dry add

a sensible amount of hot

water at the sides and jiggle

around with a spoon or

chopstick to blend.

If browning too quickly,

cover loosely with foil.

When ready the top should

be golden and crunchy.

Serve with a green salad.

Those who grow them know that zucchini plants just keep on giving through summer

and left unchecked their fruit grows into monsters. Here is a delicious and easy to

prepare dish of whole stuffed zucchini, oven poached in a spicy tomato, onion and

eggplant sauce. It tastes wonderful and looks impressive, plus can be prepared before-

hand then later popped in the oven for baking. Don’t be put off by the ingredients list

– you can simplify or vary to your own taste.

Luckily the sun came out and the conditions were good when Kiama SLSC

recently hosted the South Coast Branch Junior and Senior Surf Lifesaving

Championships at Surf Beach. Warilla-Barrack Point won both titles this year.

The State Championships will be held in Umina in early March, with the

Australian Championships being held at North Kirra in April.

Use film to tell your story Due to the great reaction to the winning entry in Council’s

short film competition, screened before the first outdoor

Summer Movie, you have another opportunity to ‘tell us

your story’ and win an iPad.

The winner of the first competition was Natalie Costa.

You can view her film on Kiama Connect, the platform

Council has established for collaboration and sharing of

video content amongst the local community, launched late

last year.

As well as following the theme of this competition,

‘Tell us your story’, each film entry must mention

Gerringong or Jamberoo either orally or in text.

The films need only be two or three minutes long, and

be suitable for a G rated audience.

Winning entries will be shown

at the start of the next two free

films: Frozen on Sat 21 Feb at

Kevin Walsh Oval; and Blended

on Fri 27 at Gerringong Cricket

Club. Both 8 for 8.30pm.

If you get to read this by Fri

13 Feb, Rocky Horror Picture

Show is on at Black Beach.

Details: Entries should be

lodged at kiamaconect.com.au by Thurs 19 Feb,

with the winner notified the next day.

You don’t have to be

a complete plane buff

to be fascinated by

the prospect of a 747

landing at Albion Park

Airport to become a

permanent part of the

Historical Aircraft

Restoration Society

(HARS) display.

Concerns about how such a large plane

will land at, and even be parked at, such a

small airport have somewhat overshadowed

the recent arrival, by road, of a Mirage III.

The acquisition of both planes adds to the

already impressive HARS collection.

The Mirage will be on show for Febru-

ary’s Open Days, 13-15, between 10 and 3.

The Museum will also open that weekend.

The Qantas 747 is currently expected to

land at HARS in mid-March, once logistics

are finalised.

HARS accepting special deliveries

Anyone tempted to throw

litter from their car should

think twice, if they haven’t

been already.

A new system will come

into effect in NSW at the

start of March that will

enable the issuing of

penalty notices based on

reports from the public.

Previously only warning

letters were sent when

reports were made by

individuals.

It is part of a plan by the

Government to cause a

dramatic decrease in the

amount of litter on our

streets. A 40% reduction

in littered items is being

targeted for 2016.

Measures will be in place

to discourage abuse of the

system, as the EPA needs

to be confident in the

quality of the information

provided before issuig

a penalty notice.

Litterbugs beware!

Jamberoo celebrates Asia Cup win

There was a special atmosphere at this year’s Johnny Warren Cup weekend,

coming as it did only a week after Australia’s triumph in the Asia Cup.

Sixty-six mens’ and womens’ teams played over the two days, with many of

the visiting players and

their supporters staying

in tents on site.

The family friendly

atmosphere and the

Asia Cup win made it

a real celebration of

Johnny’s legacy.

Winners were: the

Brazilian social club

Canarinhos in the Over 35

Mens’, the Eagles from

Enagadine in the Over 45

Mens’, the 2536 Clydetts

from Batemans Bay in

the Open Womens’ and

Sydney’s Maccabi Club

for the Over 30 Womens’.

International limelight for Kiama Lions Members of Kiama Lions’

Club with family and

friends in the UK were

deluged with phone calls

and emails last week when

they were featured in trailers

for a new BBC TV show,

Cooks Abroad.

Each week, the six part

series has a celebrity chef

visiting a country to show-

case their favourite things

about that place.

In one of the episodes,

Rick Stein shows off the

best of the South Coast

as he drives from Sydney

down to catch the ferry

to Tasmania to sample

its seafood and whisky.

On the way he chose

to stop and film at the

Dunmore Driver Reviver

as he thinks the concept is

such a great idea. There he

met Kiama Lions, Richard

Langford, Rob McKinnon,

Chris English and Jerry

Granger-Holcombe.

They made him a reviving

cup of tea and discussed the

virtues of the great Aussie

Meat Pie.

As the segment was only

filmed in mid-January,

nobody was expecting to

be on TV this early, if ever.

The filming took place over

four hours, so everyone is

keen to see the final result.

There is no word yet on

when the series will be

shown in Australia but,

as these pictures taken of

someone’s TV show, one

can expect bootleg versions

will be on their way here as

soon as it is shown.

Blackwood Reserve saved; land near church still under consideration

The possible sell-off of the

reserve at Blackwood St,

Gerringong, has been taken

off the cards, but the fate of

Council’s land on the corner

of Willawa Ave and Fern St,

adjacent to the Uniting

Church is still unknown.

If any portion of the land

is recommended for sale,

a formal process of consult-

ation will have to be carried

out because of the commu-

nity land status afforded to

reserves.

A proposal was made that

once the decision is made

on the extent of the land to

be kept, then the reserve

should be named after the

late Arthur Campbell,

former Mayor of Kiama.

ANZAC symbol on Lighthouse moves a step closer

Council resolved to formally

support the proposal by the

Kiama-Jamberoo RSL to

display the ANZAC Centen-

ary emblem on the Kiama

Lighthouse until November

2018.

It will request the Minis-

ter for Crown Lands to

permit the tribute, subject

to appropriate safeguards.

414 positive responses to

the proposal were received,

with only 16 against.

Local RSL President Ian

Pullar hopes that this will

bring the drawnout approval

process to a successful end.

“We want to get our tribute

up as soon as possible, as it

is already overdue,” he says.

Whether or not the project

goes ahead, this year’s

special Dawn Service to

mark the 100th

anniversary of

the landing at

Gallipoli will be

held at the Light-

house, from 5am.

This is because

the very first

ANZAC service

in Kiama, in

1916, was held

there. The main

service will be,

as usual, at the

Memorial Arch

at 10.30am, after

the March.

Out & about At the first of the Summer Movies: The Castle Undeterred by the threat of a storm, a big crowd settled on School Flat at

Black Beach to enjoy the iconic film The Castle, as a warm-up to Australia Day.

There was a moment of drama as the screen was securely tied down to combat

the wind before the show began. The winning entry in the Council’s short film

competition opened the night (see p4).

Postcard home

Salamat Pagi from Putrajaya – the

Canberra of Kuala Lumpur.

Just like Canberra it is a long way

from the bustling activity of KLCC

(KL city centre) and it has the same

kind of beautiful broad boulevards and

amazing suspension bridges almost

empty of cars.

The lack of cars alone makes it very

different to the rest of KL, where driv-

ing is a national sport with few rules

and taken to death defying extremes.

We waved at the President's palatial

office which is across the lake from his

residence, a beautiful white mansion.

The best bit though was a visit to the

stunning Putra Mosque, which is made

of pink granite, marble tiles, carved

wooden windows and stained glass.

We were given Hogwarts like robes

to wear which were incredibly hot,

but worth it for the experience.

The verdict? Canberra isn't a patch

on it.... Kate Watts, Marrickville

Adventures in technology Part 2 of a series on hijacking, by Edwin Humphries of NetSense Computers.

Some browser hijacks that are bundled with

freeware can be uninstalled with the free-

ware they came with, while others are far

more difficult to remove. For that reason,

preventing is always better than repairing.

When installing free peer-to-peer down-

loads, take these precautions:

• Only install what you absolutely need.

• Check the program you intend to

download to see how reliable it is:

Wikipedia is a good source of informa-

tion about many legitimate and reliable

programs, or entering the question

‘Is ProgramX malware’ into a reputable

search engine will provide useful infor-

mation.

• Don’t download from sites that use

download managers, which often offer

additional downloads. Examples of

reliable sites include: filehippo.com,

softpedia.com, majorgeeks.com, and

snapfiles.com

• Don't download files from websites

that promise good times for free. Porno-

graphy, ‘warez’ and gambling sites are

notorious for installing malware.

• A common trick is to name a malicious

file with a fake extension, knowing

the real extension if usually hidden:

eg. naming a program ‘baby.jpg.exe’

will show up as ‘baby.jpg’ (apparently

a picture file). Go to Control Panel >

Folder Options > View and untick ‘Hide

extensions for known file types’ and

click Apply

• When you download, manually check

the download against a legitimate virus

checker (bearing in mind free virus

checkers are worth what you pay for

them)

• Before you install, create a system

restore point (in Windows 7/8, type

‘system restore’ into the program’s

search box type)

• When you do install, read carefully each

window during the install. If offered

additional programs, such as toolbars,

search utilities, browser add-ons or sys-

tem ‘optimisers’, (or anything else you

didn't ask for), look for ways to opt out:

untick tick-boxes, look for the ‘no

thanks’ link, etc. If you are being forced

to install something you don't want,

abort the install and find alternative

software.

In emails, avoid clicking any link or open-

ing any attachment email from someone

you don't know, or from someone who you

wouldn’t expect to send links or attach-

ments. If possible, examine the destination

for the link before opening it.

Another step is to use a use a website

rating tool such as Web of Trust

(mywot.com); It uses crowd-sourcing to

rate websites, and provides a colour-keyed

circle to indicate in search engines

(and other pages) the safety of linked sites;

if you ignore a red warning circle, it over-

lays a more detailed warning when open-

ing the site.

Configure your system for security • Keep your operating system up to date.

• Use quality (ie. not free) Internet security

software

• Use a standard (non-administrative) ac-

count.

Manager your web browser The web browser is either part of your

operating system (eg. Internet Explorer in

Windows, Safari in MacOS) or a third party

application (eg. Mozilla Firefox, Google

Chrome, Opera). Best practice is to:

• Keep your browser up-to-date

• Tweak your security and privacy settings

(see us-cert.gov/publications/securing-

your-web-browser)

• Keep third party web applications

(Acrobat, Flash/Shockwave and Java)

up- to-date

• Use auto-fill with caution

• Use encrypted search as default browser

page; eg. encrypted.google.com

• Use safe browsing tools; eg. Web of

Trust, McAfee SiteAdvisor, LinkExtend

• Test browser security; go to a site like

www.browserscope.org

Beware sites offering to help Rogue security software is a form of Inter-

net fraud that deceives users into paying for

fake removal of malware. It is a form of

ransomware or scareware.

Such software has an apparently credible

window reporting a large number of

viruses, faults or other issues. The window

includes a ‘Click Here to Fix’ button which

links to a website, ostensibly to pay for and

download corrective software. However,

the site is aimed at identity theft, and enter-

ing financial details results in financial loss

– and no software download.

Frequently, the ransomware window may

not be able to be closed, staying on top of

other program windows or preventing other

programs from loading. The program that

displays the window is the malware, and

must be removed.

Examples of hijackers

to avoid The following is a list of common hijack-

ers (in alpha order, not order of severity):

• Babylon Toolbar

• Conduit Search

• CoolWebSearch

• Delta Search/Claro Search

• Mindspark

• MyStart/IncrediBar

• Onewebsearch

• Qone8

• qvo6

• Snap.do/Smartbar/

• Tuvaro/www-search

How to try to prevent browser hijacking

Training for learner drivers Daylight and Night-time Log Book Runs, organised by
