Tarago Public School’s Ukulele Band gives it’s first public performance

Tarago Public School’s Ukulele Band gave its first public performance, as part of the 2014 Goulburn Community of Public Schools Concert series recently. The band is made up of all students from the year 3 to 6 class and features a percussion section, building on the experience students gained last year with percussion.

This year students performed the Creedence Clearwater Revival classic, Down on the Corner. As well as playing ukulele and percussion, students also sang and incorporated a show stopping kazoo solo. Tarago students also formed part of the combined schools choir which had

an extensive repertoire. Throughout the year students have been involved in formal music lessons with Keva Abotomy from the Goulburn Regional Conservatorium. This program is funded by the school using funds made available under the new schools funding model launched at the commencement of this year.

The school has recently introduced a fantastic learning tool across the primary class. Fast ForWord is a series of computer-delivered brain fitness exercises designed to produce dramatic language and reading improvements

(TADPAI)At our August meeting we welcomed Goulburn Mulwaree Council’s (GMC) new General Manager Warwick Bennett to the area. You can meet Warwick along with GMC staff and Councillors at the GMC Outreach Meeting at the Tarago Hall on Tuesday 9th September at 6.30pm (see advert on page 11 of this edition for more details). GMC is calling for agenda items and TADPAI discussed these at our meeting and will raise the following items:• Roads – How does GMC see traffic flow of the future

especially when the Oallen Ford Road Bridge is available.

• Roads – TADPAI would like an overview of how funding for roads works over years.

• Would like to see GMC Website improvement on the search engine, titles and tabs. Very difficult to find the right documents under the current layout headings for example a Development Application.

• There has been an increase of vehicles speeding in the village approach from Bungendore side – would like speed checking on entry to the village.

• What will be in the GMC submission for the proposed Jupiter Wind Farm?

NEW PARK FOR TARAGOWe are pleased to be joining with Tarago Landcare as part of the Village Beautification Project for a new park and Miner’s Memorial to be established at the intersection of Stewart and King Streets and Bungendore Road.

in a variety of student populations by improving memory, attention and processing skills. The Fast ForWord products support existing curriculum—they don’t replace it. When students process more efficiently, every other instructional strategy works better. The results in schools throughout the world have been dramatic; students can achieve a one- to two-year gain in reading skills in 8-12 weeks, there has already been an example of this at Tarago PS. In many years working within schools I have never seen an intervention with such impact on students

It is the time of year when we start to think about planning for the coming year. Plans are well underway for kinder orientation for next year’s students. This is obviously a very important milestone not only for students but for families. I would invite all parents with children due to start school next year to stop in and see firsthand the opportunities available at Tarago Public School. As a small school our class sizes ensure the learning needs’ of all students are a focal point. The school is very well resourced and is set on extensive grounds, including a massive undercover area offering students protection from the elements. This has been used to great advantage over the past few weeks during our new structured playtimes.

Stop in for a chat and see students engaged in their education.

VILLAGE PLANS FUNDINGLast edition you may recall that TADPAI was calling for organisations to suggest projects for the Village Plans Funding that has been established by GMC. There were a number of projects raised and it was decided at the meeting to focus on facilities for our youth and submit quotes for a scoping session for the proposed Tarago Skate Park to identify sites, designs and therefore costings for fund raising and grant target and also for park equipment to extend the current Tarago Park for younger children and for the new Stewart Street park.

TARAGO VILLAGE MARKETSTADPAI has lodged a Development Application to hold monthly markets at the Tarago Hall and the adjacent block of land on Wallace Street. On page 23 there is a call for expressions of interest for stall holders in the Tarago area to participate. The Tarago Village Markets will be an opportunity to showcase businesses and produce in the Tarago Area as well as providing organisations with fund raising opportunities. Adelle Higham who is a local business owner has kindly offered to run the markets and we wish her all the success in her venture.

Our next meeting is on Monday 8th September at 7.00pm at the Loaded Dog Hotel, all are welcome to attend.Have a great month.

TAYLORS CREEK LANDCARE INC

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETINGThis was held on Monday, the 18th August 2014. All current office-holders were unanimously returned to their current positions.

President: Ruth CorriganSecretary: Jean UnderwoodTreasurer and Public Officer: David SmithVice President: Clarrie BrownField Officers: Rob Willson, Max Limon and Ian WillsonPublicity Officer: Joan Limon

Membership fees are now due. Please contact the Treasurer to arrange the payment.

FIELD DAY on Saturday 18th OctoberPlanning began for a Landcare Walk in October to look at how projects are progressing on several properties in our area. More news next month. Everyone is welcome to attend with a barbecue lunch supplied.National Landcare Programme Information Session ReportSome of the main points: • Community engagement and capacity building is a

big focus of the National Landcare Program• The National Landcare Program covers all Federal

Government spending on natural resource management, not just Landcare groups and networks

• In 2014/15 there will be $1 million for National and State Landcare networks (e.g. Landcare NSW) to help them capacity build the Landcare networks that exist underneath them

• 25th Anniversary Landcare Grants of $5000 to $20 000 ($5 million in total) will be available to local groups, Landcare groups, Indigenous groups, farmers and other land managers for natural resource management activities

• 20% of Federal funding to regional bodies (such as LLS in NSW) is to be invested in local natural resource management and community engagement through community organisations.

• The Green Army has funding of $525 million over 4 years

• The Green Army should complement the National Landcare Program

• 5 service providers will provide the teams, local organisations identify the projects (6 months duration)

• After the Green Army has completed the project it is up to the local organisation to manage the project site.

• For example: XYZ Landcare Group has a river care project where the Green Army removes woody weeds, fences off the river and revegetates the area with native vegetation. At the end of the six month project XYZ Landcare Group is now responsible for maintaining the project site.

• 20 Million Trees: as part of the Clean Air project the Federal Government wants to get 20 Million Trees

planted in four years. A tree is currently defined as a native plant growing over 2 metres (this definition may change). Biodiversity and the planting of shrubs and ground cover is still important, but will not be counted in the final tree numbers.

• The expansion of existing projects is encouraged, where this will lead to additional outcomes for the new funding.

The National Landcare Program Consultation Survey is open until 29 August 2014 and can be found at www.nrm.gov.au

There was some discussion about the procedures that may now apply in order for our local landcare groups to participate in the new structure. At this stage we are not exactly sure so the group decided to invite Melinda Johnson, who is the local Land Service Coordinator for the Yass area, to our September meeting to take us through the new procedures. Ruth will also make enquiries to Central Landcare in Sydney. Our Federal Member of Parliament, Angus Taylor, will be approached for information about the 20 Million Trees project.

PROPAGATION IGLOOOur benefactor intends to donate further funds to enable our tree propagation work to continue. Ruth explained that we have had an unfortunate experience with the last lot of planting mix. All the trees planted earlier this year failed. It is a big loss of time and precious seed and a lot of work gone to waste. Ruth has ordered and obtained a new lot of seed from Greening Australia and is in the process of obtaining a new planting mix.

PHOTO RECORDJoan has transferred to a USB a large quantity of photos taken at landcare activities over many years. She has also began scanning in the older photos taken prior to the digital camera age. It was decided we would hold a slide-night at the October meeting to show these photos and bring back memories of all the activities our group has been involved with since its formation in 1998.

PROJECTSBoth Willeroo and Sunnybrook need more tree plantings in order to complete their current projects. Hopefully this will be carried out in the coming weeks with plants from our own propagation igloo.

LONG TERM MANAGEMENT OF PROJECT AREASErica reported an explosion of regenerated eucalypts in the woodlands on Willeroo that have been fenced off for many years. In places the little trees are just too thick on the ground so Erica plans to let cattle in there to calve in the shelter. Joan mentioned a beautiful sheltered woodland that she visited in 2004 when planning the bird surveys. By 2012 it had been completely overtaken by woody shrubs and cannot be used for stock or even entered for surveys anymore. For such a beautiful, unique area this is a terrible shame. It illustrates the necessity for strategic grazing. Revegetated and regenerated areas need to be managed, not just fenced off and left alone.

FROSTSThe extreme frosts experienced last week need to be noted. Most mornings it was -6 degrees or below with

Page 5



the thermometer on our verandah one morning recording -7.5. If the thermometer had been more out in the open the temperature would most likely have been even lower. These extreme temperatures caused some damage in the district. At our place the metal fittings on an outside tap actually split. Fortunately it was found without the loss of much water. The effect on plants was even more significant. Most plants grown in this climate can handle -5 or so but once it makes -6 and below and continues for days, it is just too cold. I am hoping the little natives that were planted over the paddocks in May, have survived these very low temperatures.

With these big frosts day after day the ground did not thaw out so the damage was compounded. It reminds me of when I was little, coming home from school and finding the water in the bird bath still frozen. Apparently last week was the coldest spell in Canberra since 1971! A few days ago, Max was moving sheep over the paddock when one of the dogs went racing up to the trough for a quick dip. He jumped in - and ended up standing on water as it was frozen all the way through. I would have liked to have seen the look on the dog’s face! It would have been priceless. Just shows how big the frosts have been lately. Even the water-holes in the creek were frozen until nearly lunch-time.

With little rain so far this winter - only 9.5 mm fell in June - the frosts sucked a lot of moisture out of the ground. Because of this the 48mm that fell over the last weekend was very welcome. Here’s hoping for a lot more follow-up rain in order to start the pastures growing in Spring.

As always, visitors are most welcome at any of our meetings and activities which are held on the third Monday of each month. Our next meeting will be held at 7.30pm on Monday, the 15th September at Nardoo, 322 Taylors Creek Road. For further details or enquiries please contact Ruth on 48494543 or Jean on 48494218.

Goulburn Evening VIEW Club - Met on Tuesday 8th July, at the Heritage. President Helen welcomed eighteen members and guest Joanne Kanowski, to the “Christmas in July” celebration dinner meeting. An invitation was received from the Goulburn Day VIEW to help them celebrate their up-coming Birthday, at the Soldiers Club on Thursday 4th September. The theme for this luncheon is “Madhatters”, so guests are requested to wear crazy hats. New member Rea was once again welcomed to the club by President Helen and presented with her badge. Irene entertained everyone with her legendary Irish jokes.

The August dinner meeting was once again back at the Posthouse, in the Blue Plate Restaurant. Trish Groves, a member of the restoration committee for Sts Peter and Paul’s Cathedral, was the special guest. After Trish was welcomed, she spoke about the fascinating history then the ongoing and extensive restoration of this magnificent Cathedral.

The Old Cathedrals extensive restoration project, under the sponsorship of the National Trust of Australia, (New South Wales), is well underway. The committee has been very busy working on raising the $5million needed to stabilize the building, overcome the serious damp problem, repair and clean the windows as well as many other tasks that need to be done.

Trish passed around three folders with many progress photos of the work done so far. Dianne Young was called upon to thank Trish on behalf of the members. Del was thanked for her wonderful efforts putting together the club’s newsletter. The next meeting will be held at the home of one of the members on September 9th and dinner will be sourced from a local Thai Restaurant.

TSF NewsThe Smith Family Recycling Team has a growth strategy which is focused on investing in technology, people and partnerships to expand their Recycling Operations. VIEW

Clubs with their connections in the community, has been identified as a key partner to help them with their strategy. Partnering with The Smith Family Retail Stores is an excellent way to spread the word about VIEW to others in the community and increase VIEW membership!

The Smith Family Retail Stores are keen to promote the work of VIEW women in local communities which strengthens the impact of The Smith Family helping young Australians in need to get the most out of their education. Since 1963, The Smith Family’s Recycling Operation has been a recognised Australian charity leader in the reuse of clothing, accessories and manchester. They provide a range of convenient donation solutions for customers including Donation Points (Charity Bins), home collections, corporate employee clothing drives and for retailers an opportunity to reduce their landfill volumes each year.

Located at NSW Villawood site, the Recycling Operation owns the entire supply chain from the point of donation, sorting and processing, sale and distribution of all finished goods, utilising a paid Australian workforce of 80. All proceeds go towards helping to change the lives of young Australians in need through education by supporting the programs and initiatives of The Smith Family.

Reusing clothes and other items helps reduce landfill and conserve the environment. Recycling conserves resources, for every 1kg of fast fashion that a person buys, the ecological impact can be summarised as 0.6kgs of oil, 60kgs of water and 1kg of waste. A minimum of 75% of all items collected are reused by being sold, with all profits being reinvested in The Smith Family community programs that help over 112,000 Australian disadvantaged children and young people. The Smith Family retail outlets provide affordable clothing for all ages. Clothing drives are a fun way to declutter your wardrobe. TSF Retail Stores are a great place to ‘snag a bargain’.

ACCENTURE INTERVIEW SKILLS WORKSHOPEight enthusiastic tertiary students from the ACT Learning for Life Program participated in an interactive and challenging workshop conducted by Accenture staff in Canberra. The students, who are completing their studies at the Australian National University and the University of Canberra, were challenged to communicate their strengths and weaknesses in an open and honest way.

Facilitated by two experienced staff from the Accenture Human Resources division, the participants were lead through a series of models which informed them of the steps involved in preparing for and undertaking a workplace interview. It was also an opportunity for the students to meet as a group and discuss different career pathways and opportunities.

TARAGO BUSHFIRE BRIGADE (est 1946)

To report all fires DIAL 000

In August the brigade was called out to one fire. Thanks to Simon and Ron for handling that one. Our monthly training day was well attended and Rob Brown took us all out for back burning practice. The brigade members practised lighting and controlling lines of fire. We proved we were much better at putting out fires than lighting them, which is probably what you would expect from your brigade members.

Pic above: Michael Church in action at our August Training Day photo by Mandy Borman

Burning off is still permitted and remember you must notify the Yass Fire Control Centre on 6226 3100 the business day before burning or by 3:30pm Friday for weekend burning. You must also notify your immediate neighbours and as a courtesy notify the Tarago Brigade by telephoning 0419 665 393.

We have had some welcome rain but cannot afford to become complacent. Basically, there is a month remaining to prepare your property for the fire season. Check that your gutters are clean and that any easily combustible material such as dried leaves and grass is cleaned away. The bush fire risk to your property increases with the amount of fuel present.

Bushland areas include leaves, bark, twigs and other

vegetative matter. A rule of thumb is that 1cm depth of fuel on the ground represents 5 tonnes per hectare. This is considered light fuel loading and could carry a mild fire. Thirty tonnes per hectare or a depth of 6cm is considered a heavy fuel loading. Fuels within 15 metres of a house should be kept to no more than 8 tonnes per hectare. Where the slope of the ground is greater than 5 degrees up to the house, a lesser amount of fuel is advisable, as fire can race up slopes.

Grassland areas depend on the amount of cured, brown grass present. On a high fire danger day, a fire in sparse, fully cured grass land may have a 2 metre flame height. If you have paddocks or pastures, with heavy levels of cured grass, this may produce 7 metre flame heights.

Reporting Bush Fire Hazards If you are concerned about bush fire hazards on your property, or the property adjacent to you, the Rural Fire Service (RFS) can provide advice regarding preparing your property against bush fires and what you have to do in the event of a bush fire. This advice is free and can be arranged by contacting Yass Fire Control Centre on 6226 3100 and speaking with one of our officers. The Rural Fire Service web site also has a form online for the reporting of hazards:- http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au you can get general information from the home page without a member logon.

Have you paid your subscription? If you missed your information sheet in the Tarago Times, email or telephone and I will be happy to give you the details or get a fresh information sheet to you. Our next training day is on Sunday 31st August at the Tarago Fire Brigade Shed at 11.00am.

Goulburn Mulwaree Councillor Denzil Sturgiss Reports

Hello Residents and RatepayersOver the coming months you will become aware of changes to the staffing structure of our Council. Our new General Manager, Mr Warwick Bennett, received approval from Councillors at the August 19 meeting to implement an organisation review that results initially in a new structure.We are now to have four Directorates:

Corporate and Community ServicesPlanning and DevelopmentGoulburn Mulwaree OperationsGoulburn Mulwaree Utilities

These Directorates will be headed up by a Directors designated as a Senior Staff positions and the staff employed will be on performance based contracts. These four Senior positions are being advertised and the recruitment and appointment is to be conducted by McArthur Management Services with the Mayor being part of the interview panel.

The General Manager has been authorised by the Councillors to negotiate and complete any redundancies that may arise from this restructure and necessary funds are to come from the Employment Leave Entitlement Reserve.

Oallen Ford BridgeAn August 13 a Media Release from Council informed the public that the General Manager (GM) called a halt to the work on the replacement of the Oallen Ford Bridge after he discovered the proposed bridge was not on the Road Reserve and that important negotiations with Aboriginal Lands Councils had not been completed as part of the project. During his review of the project, Mr Bennett discovered that the proposed new area in question on both sides of the Shoalhaven River, is subject to an Aboriginal land claim. He apologised to the Council and the community and added that Council would undertake consultation with the affected groups, including the Pejar and Ulladulla Local Aboriginal Lands Council as well as the NSW Aboriginal Lands Council.

Mr Bennett added that the positive coming out of the discovery was that it was made before any construction work had begun on site and that Council could now either “negotiate with the affected groups, or redesign the process within the existing road reserve.” It is now unlikely that the bridge replacement will start during 2014. The GM has indicated that he will keep the community informed as to the revised time frames.

Swimming instructors and Casual Lifeguards needed for the coming summer seasonThe Goulburn Aquatic and Leisure Centre is preparing early for the warmer weather and is currently recruiting

for casual swimming instructors and casual lifeguards to join its team. Goulburn Mulwaree Council manages the centre in conjunction with the YMCA. Along with the YMCA’s professional development and advancement opportunities, the flexibility of the job is another bonus.To find out more about current positions available at the Goulburn Aquatic and Leisure Centre, please contact the centre’s manager Kristen James on 4823 4834 or visit www.ymcansw.org.au/get-involved/careers

The YMCA is committed to safeguarding children and young people and is an Equal Opportunity Employer. The successful applicant will need to complete a Working with Children check and a Criminal History check before commencement. Applications close on August 25.

September ‘14Finally some rain to talk about! We went out in the rain and dug over the vege patch and also dug over where the new fruit trees are going to be planted, a ‘Red Delicious’ Apple and a fruiting Cherry. We also spread some chicken manure pellets on the lawn after we washed both cars on it. And Wow, haven’t those frosts been horrid and harsh! Hopefully we have seen the end of them. Don’t cut back any of your plants that have been burnt by the frosts yet, wait till we are closer to spring.

Keep an eye out for ‘silver leaves’ on your Viburnums as they may be infested with Two Spotted Mite. Check the undersides of the leaves for small brown spots. If you have brown spots on the undersides of your leaves and the silver tops then spray with ‘Natra soap’ or cut off the affected areas. Viburnums can take a harsh prune in spring if needed. Just be sure to give them a feed and maintain the soil moisture – don’t let them dry out or become heat stressed.

Aphids won’t be far away as your plants start putting out their new, soft growth. Watch your citrus and roses for the early signs of the little critters. Spray aphids with soapy water or squash them with your fingers rather than going for a chemical first. The answer is to keep down the population before they burst onto the scene with a vengeance.

Have you bought your fertiliser yet for your garden? Your garden plants will love you if you give them a good spring feed. Always read the directions regarding application rates and timing before spreading your fertilisers as some can burn plants if not watered in properly. Also beware of giving your natives ‘just any’ fertiliser. They require a low phosphorus fertiliser.

Common Everlastings (Chrysocephalum apiculatum)

The common everlasting or yellow button is a small yellow Australian native wildflower (pictured below). The leaves are long and thin, curling up the edges. They are soft

(feeling a little bit like lamb’s tongue foliage), silvery blue/green in colour and roughly 3mm wide and 3 ½ cm long, splitting off like a forked tongue at the end.

They are small plants, usually

14-20 cm high and not very wide, they are usually comprised of 2-5 stalks, though when they clump together it may seem like a lot more. While they usually grow in clumps, they do quite often grow by themselves. Those ones growing by themselves are bigger.

The flowers are roughly 5mm across, and range from lemon yellow (very small ones that have only just budded) to dark orange (when they are about to seed), once they have seeded they go black/brown, with the appearance of being burnt. Each plant has 1-5 (possibly more) on the end of each stalk. So far as I can tell, there seems to be no particular time for flowering, as I have found plants with flowers at all ends of the spectrum, though, having said that, last week I found a cluster with solely burnt out flowers, and another cluster with only lemon yellow “baby” flowers, thus indicating they may flower at all times of year, though I’m not sure.

There is another flower, the Button Everlasting (H. scorpiodes) which looks similar to the Common Everlasting (pictured right).The flowers are much bigger (being around 2cm across) but a similar colour, the Buttons seem to be seeding at the moment, when seeding the middle of the flower turns brown. I love the feel of the flowers as they feel like crackly paper, or maybe like origami flowers. The foliage is the same silver/blue/green as the common everlastings (though more green than the common) and has the same soft, fuzzy feel. The plants, unlike the common everlastings, are low ground covers, each stalk has a single flower on the end. The stalks are each about 14-15 cm.

New Banner for St Andrew’s

ChurchA new banner commemorating World War 1 was hung at St Andrews Church for the service on Sunday 12th August 2014. Mulwaree Anglicans priest-in-charge. Tom Frame, gave a moving, informative and inspiration service which included tributes to those in our community who fell and were affected by the Great War. His sermon has been reproduced as this month’s tribute by the Tarago Times to the commemoration year.

There are several memorials in St Andrews Church including a commemorative brass Cross with the inscription ‘To the honour and glory of god. In commemoration of the peace of 1919 and the grateful remembrance of fallen soldier sons at the church 1914 -1919. There is also an offeratory cup, bread box and cruets in the memory of Private William James Davis killed in action on June 7th, 1917.

The new banner was made by parishioners Maggie Corby and Gill Shepherd and will hang in St Andrews for the anniversary year. St Andrews is open during the week from 7.30am to 4.30pm for visitors.

Centenary of the Outbreak of the Great WarThere are things human beings start without knowing where or how they will finish. When the British Government declared war on Germany a century ago – a declaration that included the Dominions – Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, India and Australia … a conflict began that would devastate the landscape and produce a death toll unprecedented in human history.

In a population of just over 3 million, nearly 60,000 Australians were killed. One in five men who left these shores in uniform did not return; one in three were totally and permanently incapacitated. Every second extended Australian family was personally affected by the war. There was no-one who didn’t have a member of their family or a friend caught up in the fighting who came home changed by what they had seen and heard. Small communities up and down the country committed some

of their best men, eager for adventure but ignorant of the politics. None expected to be buried where they fell on the battlefields of Europe, Palestine, North Africa and Gallipoli. And we have not even considered the number of animals, mainly horses, that suffered and died – and they had no stake in the outcome.

When war broke out a century ago, no-one thought it was would last four years and three months and be so incredibly destructive of everything it touched. Was it necessary? Could it have been avoided? What did it achieve? These questions were the subject of controversy throughout the war because not everyone supported it and these questions remain matters of contention. Let me ask, then: what ought the Christian make of the Great War? Indeed, what did some say in 1914 when the war began?

LANDCARE GROUP WORKS ON NEW PARK IN TARAGO

Tarago Landcare Group (TLG) works on projects in the rural and village environments in the district and on August 2nd members started tidying the land proposed for a miners’ commemorative park near the railway crossing in Tarago. The initial work involves removing weed species including wild pear trees, blackberries, serrated tussock and other noxious plants.

TLG and the Tarago and District Progress Association Inc (TADPAI) are communicating with Goulburn Mulwaree Council about how it could use heavy machinery to landscape the park. Veolia and other large companies will also be approached for assistance with elements of the proposed park including a memorial to miners.

A number of local residents have already expressed an interest in using the park once it’s established - they are young mothers who wish to have a quality children’s playground built there.

From a Landcare perspective TLG would like to plant native trees and shrubs that provide habitat for small bush birds.

TLG will hold a second working bee at the Stewart Street site on Saturday, September 6th at 9.00am. Local residents would be welcome to join in the activity. If the weather is pleasant participants are encouraged to bring thermoses and food for morning tea.

Readers interested in the local indigenous ecology are asked to mark October 15th in their diaries as on that date Rainer Rehwinkel will be leading a Landcare field excursion in Tarago. Rainer is an expert on the region’s ecosystems and works for the Office of Environment & Heritage. The field day will focus on the ecologically important native grasses around the Tarago Cemetery and in nearby remnant forest.

TLG meets every month, alternating between formal and informal meetings. On Saturday 4th October there will be a two-part morning starting at 9.00am with a short formal meeting at the Tarago Community Hall followed by morning tea. This will be followed by outdoor work, probably on the Stewart Street park site.

For more information about Tarago Landcare readers are welcome to contact the President Jeanette Payne on 02 48494225, or at email [email protected] or the Secretary Chris Elford on mobile 0428249416, or email [email protected]

New laws have been finalised on 1 August to help people prepare their homes for bush fires in NSW.

If you live in a designated '10/50 vegetation clearing entitlement area', the laws will allow you to:

Clear trees on your property within 10 metres of a home, without seeking approval; and

Clear underlying vegetation (other than trees) such as shrubs on your property within 50 me-tres of a home, without seeking approval.

There may be other restrictions that apply, such as if your property is on a slope, or there are items of Aboriginal or cultural significance in the area.

RUN WITH THE WIND 2013WOODLAWN WIND FARM

Congratulations to Jamie Campbell from Goulburn and Monique Cosgrove of Tarago on their wedding on Sunday 17th August 2014. The proud parents Dave and Tam Cosgrove along with all of us in the Tarago district wish the couple a long and happy and fulfilled life together.



The CWA of NSW will celebrate its Awareness Week this year by continuing to advocate for change on issues they believe are important to rural and regional families. Awareness Week runs from 6th -13th September 2014 and in Tarago will be celebrated with open days on Monday, Wednesday afternoon and Sunday 14th.

Every year the CWA of NSW raises money, makes donations and calls for change to improve the lives of regional and rural women and families. In 2014 alone the CWA of NSW has donated more than $70,000 to disaster relief, provided 59 education grants to rural students and lobbied the government to ban the sale of energy drinks to minors.

The CWA of NSW has now partnered with WorkCover NSW on their farm safety campaign “Alive and Well” to remind communities about the importance of keeping safe around the farm. From using heavy machinery to sun exposure, there are many risks working on-farm and through Awareness Week, CWA of NSW will remind farmers and their families about how to stay ‘alive and well’. In the last three years almost 5,500 NSW farmers have been injured at work and had to claim workers compensation. The Alive and Well website highlights some of the most common forms of injury and illnesses and provides a way for farmers to share their stories and tips. Alive and Well was launched in July 2014. See www.aliveandwell.net.au for more information about this campaign.

This year the CWA of NSW celebrates its 92nd year of making a difference in the lives of rural families. The CWA has always been about much more than ‘tea and scones’ and Awareness Week is a good opportunity for us to tell the community about the real work of the CWA of NSW.• CWA of NSW donated $50,000 in February to the Rural

Financial Counselling Service who were experiencing

• Obtained 13,600 signatures on a petition that was presented to the House of Representatives in March calling for a ban on the sale of energy drinks to children under 18 years of age.

• Hosted 92nd annual conference for more than 600 members in Griffith in May.

• Declared a war on weeds by raising awareness of how to manage serrated tussock which spreads quickly, overtaking pasturelands and is rarely eaten by livestock. It can threaten biodiversity in bushlands and coastal areas.

• Served more than 46,900 scones with jam to hungry visitors at the 2014 Royal Easter Show in

2014 STUDY TOPICS - Country: Botswana Fauna: Wedge-tailed eagle Flora: Wilga tree

Primary product: GarlicMORE ON GARLIC!Hardneck, softneck, bulbils and scapes – intriguing terms associated with garlic. The properties of this amazing plant are well-known to most of us but at our August meeting we learnt more about varieties grown locally from Bronwyn Richards, our guest speaker.

Bronwyn and Helen Lynch run ‘Wynlen House’ a 11/2 acre organic, permaculture micro farm in Braidwood, where they grow vegies, and raise animals for food. A key focus is to grow food to be consumed locally – also termed ‘slow food’. All aspects of food, its quality, its origins, its preparation and how it arrives at our plate needs to be thought about. Every step in this process has an impact on our environment. Producing food organically and locally minimizes this impact.

Garlic is a close relative of chives, leeks and onions; there are 8 cultivars and 300-400 varieties. It is a young industry in Australia, only really getting underway in the 1990’s. Garlic is a perennial plant which needs a cold period to initiate growth; bulb formation takes place in response to lengthening days and warmer temperatures.

Monaro Purple is the most common variety planted in this area and is planted in March/April for harvest in November. The increasing demand for garlic is shown by the quantities sold by the 4 main retailers of 200 tonnes per week, about 200,000 tonnes in a year, of which 60,000 tonnes is grown in Australia.

Garlic is a useful crop for small farms averaging 6 –8 tonnes per hectare, with high labour input at planting and harvest time and little work in between. Garlic needs well-drained, friable soil with a pH of 5.5 – 6.7, which needs to be kept weed free as it is no competition for weeds. 10 kilos at planting time should yield 100 kilos at harvest. After harvest, garlic is dried outside in warm weather. The roots and dirty outside layer of skin is removed and it is dried inside for another 2 weeks. Crop rotation mostly avoids fungus and mildew diseases.

Produce from the slow food garden is available from a market stall on Saturday mornings (in the laneway leading to Dojo Artisan Bakery, off Wallace St. Braidwood). The main garlic crop this year is the purple and white softneck variety, preferred for plaiting in readiness for Christmas. Food is picked, packed and sold within 24 hrs. From the garden to the stall is less than a kilometre.

Toothbrush Count for the children at Wadeye: 441 collected so far, which is just 59 short of our target 500.

Thank you all for your generous response. Leanne shared greetings with the Tennant Creek CWA, while working there, and enjoyed the local art show and festival (her detailed report next month). Father’s Day Raffle: Last chance to get tickets, drawn after the September meeting. Members please make sure all books are back by then.

‘Thank you’ to Howard Beileiter for ongoing maintenance to our rooms, which is really appreciated.

From the Bookworm: ‘Winter Solstice’ by Rosamunde Pilcher. Her unique ability to combine eloquence and compassion creates characters that truly reveal the way we all live and love. ‘Winter Solstice’ brings readers into the lives of five very different, but equally intriguing people. Plagued by loneliness, regret, abandonment, and loss, fate will unite them in a dilapidated estate house in Northern Scotland. It is in this house, on the shortest day of the year, that these five people will find each other, and ultimately find themselves. ‘Winter Solstice’ not only has the warmth and emotion her fans have come to expect, but delivers a fresh tale of tragedy and renewal that will undoubtedly draw a whole new audience to this remarkable novel.

Diary Dates: Craft Group – Mondays Scrapbooking - 3rd Wednesday Cards - 4th Friday

Coming Up: Working Bee at the rooms after craft - Monday 1st Sept, 2.30 start. ALL members please attend.Awareness Week lunch – Sunday 14th September, Group International Day – Monday 25th Sept at Bungendore.

Our Willow Glen meeting on Tuesday, 5th August, 2014 was held at the home of Irene and Lloyd Turner of “Lidma”. We were all made very welcome and onarrival we indulged ourselves with a cuppa and lots of yummy things to eat! It was really good to see Judy and Warren Yates back from their travels and to hear their tales. They both looked very well - travelling certainly suits them!

Irene and Lloyd took us on a trip around their garden which was looking surprisingly good considering all the snow and hail storms we have had of late. Their vegetable garden was flourishing and Irene was keen to hand out pumpkin and squash seeds for us all to start planting in October. She also told us to watch out for the pink buds emerging on our peach trees - it is the exact time to spray for peach leaf curl!

We were all happy to hear that Carolyn and John Engisch’s son is recovering well after his recent heart problems. We do hope that the Cake Auction at Windellama Hall this coming weekend will be a huge success with the proceeds going to Can-Assist. It was also good to hear that Denise Johnson is trying to get back to the Garden Club - we have missed her.

Sandra and Tony Greville have given us more information about visiting the gerden at “Farnborough”, Moss Vale on 30th September next. The address is “Farnborough”,6530 Illawarra Highway, MOSS VALE. We will all meet at 10 am to enjoy the owner’s famous scones and slide show. We will be giving her a donation for the morning and will be sure to enjoy our visit.

Order forms for next year’s tree purchases will be handed out at the next meeting and we would like them to be handed in at the December meeting.

The September meeting will be held at Doreen and Bruce’s garden at 17 Waterview Road (follows on form Run’O’Waters Rd), Goulburn.

The Melbourne Cup Meeting will be held at the home of Joy and Ross Sutcliffe on 4th November.

Until we meet again “Happy Gardening!”

Eliminate Kitchen Cooking Smells by placing a few drops of your favourite essential oil on the grate of the exhaust fan and on the globes of your overhead lights. If you have a light over your stove place some on that too. The heat from the cooking and the globes will release the scent and reduce the cooking odours. It is safe to use of fluorescent lights also.Finger Marks - Remove dirty finger marks from walls using a pencil eraser. Freshen heavy curtains by adding them one at a time to a tumble dryer on delicate mode with a damp towel.Furniture dents in carpet - to make the carpet stand back up after moving a piece of furniture, place an ice cube on the spot. As it melts, the piles will go back upGrease and Oil - To remove these stains from furnishings, sprinkle talcum powder or cornstarch on the stain. Rub in well until the oil is absorbed. Vacuum off powder.Kitty Litter Odours - keep the kitty litter fresh smelling by sprinkling baby powder in the litter.Mattresses - to clean musty mattresses, sponge with a solution of 5 drops of tea tree oil to one bucket of warm water. Take mattresses out into the sun to dry and air.Microwave Ovens - Place damp paper towels in your microwave and turn it on high for 10 seconds. This makes your microwave easy to clean.Pewter - Polish with the outer leaves of a cabbage and then buff with a soft cloth. Smelly bins - Sprinkle 1/4 cup each of borax (a natural mineral found in the laundry aisle) and bicarbonate of soda into the bottom of the empty bin.Red wine on carpet - pour some (cheap) white wine on the red wine stain. The proteins which cause the stain are the same and it will neutralise the red in the stain so you now have a white stain which you can clean up as normal. Ballpoint pen marks - Remove on wood or painted surfaces with distilled white vinegar. Simply dab with a clean rag soaked in vinegar until mark comes off.Remove sticky tape from varnished wood doors and furniture by spraying with window cleaner, leave for a while and tape will come off with no tell tale marks.Rust - To remove rust from a stainless steel sink, soak overnight in a paste of cream of tartar and water.Tarnished Silverware - Line a baking tin with aluminium foil. Fill with water and add 1 tablespoon of baking soda per 2 cups of water. Heat to 150 degrees. Lay silverware in pan, touching aluminium foil. Watch the stains disappear! Scratches - To hide scratches on furniture rub a wax crayon of the same colour on the furniture, you’ll never see the scratch.

Venetian blinds - Clean aluminium and plastic Venetian blinds by hanging them up somewhere outside against a flat, vertical surface. Sponge with mild detergent and then gently hose them down. For timber blinds wipe the slats with household cleaner.Walnut furniture - Small scratches can be removed from walnut surfaces by rubbing over scratch with a raw walnut kernel broken in half.Washing Pillows - When cleaning mattresses and bedding, always check the manufacturer’s care label first. In the case of pillows, chances are it can be thrown in the washing machine. Place two or three pillows in the machine, making sure to distribute evenly around the agitator. Use a gentle cycle and a mild detergent. To dry, place in the dryer along with a clean pair of sneakers to keep them from bunching up. To give them a fresh scent, use a couple of fabric softener sheets.Roses - Recently planted roses must be kept well watered for the first few months and probably through the first two summers. Roses need good, regular, deep watering, not occasional light sprinkling. Water is preferable in the morning to reduce the risk of fungal disease and flower damage. Clean soil stained hands after gardening by rubbing some olive oil and sugar between your palms. Great flower fertiliser - place your banana skins just below the surface of the soil - they rot quickly and supply calcium, magnesium, sulphur, phosphorous, sodium & silica. Ground coffee as fertiliser - Save the coffee grounds from your percolator or plunger as fertiliser for your garden. It is high in nitrogen and particularly effective for your rose bushes. Water saving - Water your garden early in the morning for best results. That’s because evening watering encourages fungal disease and watering during the day is less effective due to increased evaporation. And remember, too much fertiliser makes lawns thirsty and healthy ones use less water than sick ones. Indoor Plant Care - To refresh a favourite plant simply re-pot into a larger container using a good quality potting mix. But remember, most indoor plants die from over fertilising and lack of sunlight. So use a nine-month slow release fertiliser and make sure plants receive lots of indirect natural light. • Keep the leaves on your indoor plants looking green

& healthy by rubbing them with castor or mineral oil.• Keep your indoor plants out of draughts and away

from cold windows at night time unless protected by heavy curtaining.

Bell Tower ToursSat, 6 September 2014Take an interactive tour and learn about the history of the bells at St Saviour’s Cathedral. The splendid bell-tower, soaring windows and massive stone work are the first impressions one has of St Saviour’s. Built around the old St Saviour’s Church from 1874 to 1884, St Saviour’s Cathedral is one of the finest white sandstone cathedrals in the Southern Hemisphere. Both the Cathedral and Hall were designed by one of Australia’s most famous architects, Edmund T. Blacket.

The Bishop of London, Arthur Winnington-Ingram, emerged as the most vocal supporter of the war effort in 1914, speaking publicly in support of recruiting drives and the armaments industry. Later in the war he urged his younger clergy to consider enlisting as combatants rather than as chaplains. Winnington-Ingram saw the war as a ‘great crusade to defend the weak against the strong’. The language he used to describe Germans was intentionally xenophobia. In one sermon he said: “Kill Germans! Kill them!” ... not for the sake of killing, but to save the world … Kill the good as well as the bad. . Kill the young men as well as the old … I look upon it as a war for purity. I look upon everybody who dies in it as a martyr.” His words embarrassed and offended many in his native England. Herbert Asquith, the British Prime Minister at the outbreak of the war, described his public statements as ‘jingoism of the shallowest kind’.

I would suggest that contemporary Christians have three options when reflecting on the centenary of the Great War, and perhaps on armed conflict in general. First, we can denounce the war as being unnecessary and opportunistic, condemn the men who fought for failing to exercise proper moral judgment but mitigating their sins in pointing to the mindless jingoism from which the world has since been liberated, and redeeming the human and material waste by claiming the war showed the futility of armed conflict while overlooking the fact that it happened again two decades later. Second, we can defend the war as being necessary and unavoidable, condemning the German leaders for their chauvinistic patriotism, interpreting the war as a struggle against barbarism and brazen aggression, and redeeming the human and material waste by pointing to the liberation of the people of Belgium and Holland from the tyranny of Kaiser-ism. The third option is to focus on the moral ambiguity of most wars and the personal ambivalence towards political rhetoric of those who are obliged to fight them.

My preferred approach is the third option as I will attempt to explain. But I readily concede that this approach is not without its obvious drawbacks and even grave dangers. You might, for instance, be convinced that Scripture’s plain message is non-violence and that pacifism is the only sustainable position for the sincere Christian to take with respect to the use of force by civil authorities. This stance declares all wars to be immoral. If this was your view, you could not embrace my third option as it would entail a denial of your principles. Alternatively, you might think that state-sanctioned force is justifiable in some circumstances but not all. I have some sympathy for this view even as I recognize the unintended consequences of this stance.

So let me acknowledge that my approach is flawed and problematic. But inasmuch as I would rather say something than nothing, I am willing to remain in the uncomfortable world of ambiguity and ambivalence for the sake of the opportunity I have been given to convey a word from God. So can I suggest that the moral ambiguity of the war was best summarized by two poems that

became hymns that have become well-known. One was prominent at the start of the war and the other at the end. Let me say something briefly about each.

The first is the ‘Recessional’ by Rudyard Kipling composed on the occasion of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in 1897. The poem is a prayer. It describes two fates that befall even the most powerful people, armies and nations, and that very fate threatened England at the time: passing out of existence like those ancient cities of Biblical times whose pride was the basis of their demise, and lapsing from Christian faith into selfish profanity. The prayer entreats God to spare “us” (England) from these fates “lest we forget”. Let we forget what? The sacrifice of Christ. Notably, The poem went against the celebratory mood of the time, providing instead a reminder of the transient nature of imperial power. In the poem Kipling argues that boasting and jingoism, faults of which he himself was often accused, were irrational and vain in light of the humility and permanence of God.

God of our fathers, known of old,Lord of our far-flung battle-line,

Beneath whose awful Hand we holdDominion over palm and pine—

Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,Lest we forget—lest we forget!

The tumult and the shouting dies;The Captains and the Kings depart:Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,

A humble and a contrite heart.Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,

Lest we forget—lest we forget!

Far-called, our navies melt away;On dune and headland sinks the fire:

Lo, all our pomp of yesterdayIs one with Nineveh and Tyre!

Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,Lest we forget—lest we forget!

If, drunk with sight of power, we looseWild tongues that have not Thee in awe,

Such boastings as the Gentiles use,Or lesser breeds without the Law—Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,

Lest we forget—lest we forget!

For heathen heart that puts her trustIn reeking tube and iron shard,

All valiant dust that builds on dust,And guarding, calls not Thee to guard,

For frantic boast and foolish word—Thy mercy on Thy People, Lord!

This poem that became the hymn was sung in cathedrals and churches during the Great War to temper the national mood and restrain mindless sentimentality. The war might have been necessary to restrain German militarism and to halt the atrocities committed against the Belgians … but there was no grounds for pride or rejoicing. In fact, contrition and repentance were the right responses at a time when human civilisation seemed headed for barbarism such was its embrace of brutality.

The second poem is by the British diplomat Cecil Spring Rice called The City of God or The Two Fatherlands. Published in 1918 when Rice was unexpectedly recalled as British Ambassador to the United Kingdom, it argued that a Christian owed loyalty to both their homeland and the heavenly kingdom. The first verse, and the rarely sung second verse, refer to Britain, and particularly to the motivation of those who died in combat. The last verse, starting “And there’s another country”, is a reference to kingdom of God and the hope of heaven. The final line is based on Proverbs 3:17, which reads in the King James Version: “Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.” Yes, it was sung at Princes Diana’s funeral.

I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;

The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,

That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;The love that never falters, the love that pays the

price,The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

I heard my country calling, away across the sea,Across the waste of waters she calls and calls to me.

Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head,And round her feet are lying the dying and the dead.I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns,I haste to thee my mother, a son among thy sons.

And there’s another country, I’ve heard of long ago,Most dear to them that love her, most great to them

that know;We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;

Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds

increase,And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths

are peace.

I find the first two verses deeply, deeply disturbing. In fact, this was one of the three hymns I urged Anglican Defence Force Chaplains not to sing at any commemoration during my tenure as Bishop to the Defence Force. My main objection is probably obvious. The hymn echoes the dangerous sentiment: my country right or wrong. Do we really believe that? That the state with all its complexities is capable of acting as a moral being? That the moral judgement of an individual is subsumed by the actions of the state? We often have doubts about the sincerity of our Government’s decision on a range of matters and

those committing the nation to armed conflict should not be exempt from suspicion and scrutiny.

But the third verse, which speaks of the Kingdom, stands in stark and striking contrast. You might observe that this verse reinforces my claim of moral ambiguity. As I reflect on the words of verse three, they seem to cancel out the force and effect of the previous two verses … that the coming Kingdom – that realm in which the love and mercy and generosity and charity of God are unrestrained and known by all – is worthy waiting for … and the Kingdom is gained not by force of arms but by humility of spirit. Think about your response during the week. Don’t rush to judgement now.

There is much upon which we do well to reflect as we enter a prolonged season of national commemoration: 100 years of the Great War, 75 years of World War II and 50 years of Vietnam … and as we lament the continuing fighting in Iraq, Syria and the Ukraine. If we are to insist that there can be no real peace without true justice, we might be driven to confess that human ingenuity has failed in delivering either and that our only

hope is to again embrace the wisdom of God embodied in the words and works of Jesus who said seek first the kingdom and all else will be added unto you. May, then, our continuing quest for kindness, compassion, charity, generosity and mercy change our own lives, the lives of those with whom we are bound, and the world in which God has been pleased to place us. Amen.

SOLICITORS - CONVEYANCERS

Save Our Trees!!!!The Lumley Road poplars are an iconic symbol of Tarago. Tall, green and graceful, they line the approach to the village from the east and can be seen well before travelers enter the village from the North and South. They were planted in 1982 by a group of forward thinking locals in consultation with Mulwaree Shire Council. Sadly, the north row have been subject to extensive pruning in the last few years by contractors who do not appreciate what the trees mean to the people of the district. The only way to save these poplars and any plantings in the future seems to be move the power lines that will determine their longevity.

The Tarago Progress Association and Tarago Land Care are working together to identify the costs involved for the relocation of the power lines underground and as a target for fundraising. The Bungendore Branch of the Bendigo Bank has been very supportive of the project with the first contribution and Essential Energy is also contributing towards the cost of the project. Once the costs have been identified, to successfully obtain funding we need to have as much community support as possible. You can help to save our trees by emailing your letters of support to [email protected] Martin Payne (0421 196 021)
