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.

All of those nominated for the Awards deserve recognition Australia Day festivities near you A variety of Australia Day celebrations have been organ-
ised throughout the Municipality by Council and local

BBQ breakfasts are being offered in Jamberoo (8.30-

the family will continue throughout the morning, including
entertainment by Rusty Hinges and a talk by Australian
publishing legend Richard Walsh, who lives locally.
A Citizenship Ceremony will be held in front of the

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.

Lego for all the family New art classes Machteld Hali, a visual
artist, printmaker and
teacher, has recently mov-
ed to Kiama and set up
a studio here.
She is offering to share
her experience through art
classes for K-6 and print-
making classes for adults.
“My purpose is to enhan-
ce the cultural/creative life
of fellow residents and give
something back to my new
community,” she says.

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 [email protected] to join the mailing list.
Taken too young We would like to take the
opportunity to express our
sadness at the death of
Amanda Zoratto, wife of
Craig Higbid. Most
recently she joined Craig in
the establishment of the
One Agency in Kiama,
having previously been a
hospitality teacher.
A wide group of family
and friends will miss her
greatly.
Donations to the Mela-
noma Institute of Australia
would be very appreciated.

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.

Centre, Riversdale. Entry from 1.30pm; concert 2.30pm

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.

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.
