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.
Details: Sun 15 Feb, Christ Church, end of Terralong St, 8pm.

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

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.

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
