BUNGONIA VILLAGE HALL

A great big thank you goes out to: John Wiggan and Mick Hepplestone for the many days of hard work they put into taking up the old timber floor, sourcing very hard to obtain hard wood beams for the new floor in the kitchen. And the great job completing the said floor. Which is now waiting for the final floor covering. That will go on the floor after the rest of the work has been completed. Ian Beveridge our plumber, also worked hard to get his part of the kitchen ready for the next step. Walls & ceil-ing.

This picture taken at the last Progress meeting, shows the Hall, painted with ceiling fans and heaters installed for the comfort of all users in the future.

BUNGONIA PROGRESS ASSOCIATION.

Next Meeting: Monday , 13th. September 2010, 7.30pm at the Hall.

No meeting in August

The September meeting will be the AGM followed by the general meeting. Nomination & proxy forms are ava il-able from M. McGinity (4844 4266). Nomination & Proxy forms must be given to the Secretary, Diana Moran 1

day before the meeting. Voting is restricted to members who are residents or ratepayers in the Goulburn Mulwaree Council area & ratepayers must be natural persons & not companies. Some members of the Executive have been doing the job for many years & need a break, so, please, if you can help out,

even for I year, we would love to hear from you.

Ardmore Park Quarry: The Proponent , Jason Mikosic, has applied to the Dept. of Planning to move the entrance for the proposed quarry site back to the present site. The argument is that the “Larbert Tree” has fallen down & any historical significance that it had is diminished. He would remove it and widen the entrance . The tree has not fallen down and highly qualified arborist has reported that the tree does not present any danger & old re-growth is quite strong & healthy. It is the nature of gum trees to shed branches. As we understand there are also problems having a private driveway entering a T intersection especially one to be used by over 40 vehicle move-ments a day. Hall Ceiling: Finished. All that remains now is a big clean up and that is probably also finished when you read this. Hall Kitchen: All electric wiring for power points has been relocated under the floor, water lines relocated to al-low the gas heater to be moved to the kitchen area & hot water piped back to the showers, gas lines laid, the floor foundations strengthened, new flooring laid & the gas stove & new double sink installed. This is part of stage 2 of the 4 stage programme. Stage 3 won’t be started till 2011. Election Day: Saturday, 21st. August. We are having a cakes stall to raise money to help pay for all the work be-ing done upgrading the Hall. Donations of cakes, jams, pickles, etc. would be appreciated.

"Many many thanks on behalf of Jean, Frank and Mark, to

Moira and the good folks who were out searching for Mark and Skye "

The story of a faithful four legged friend, Skye.

Friday 16 July, Jean and Frank rang their neighbour Julie and Glen, to ask if they had seen their son Mark and his dog Skye….. Mark and Skye had gone for their daily walk at 3.30pm and by 7.15pm had not returned home. Mark had a severe stroke in June last year, and to date is unable to com-municate apart from a couple of simple words…..but enjoys his daily walk with Skye. It was dark and cold and his parents becoming quite stressed, imagining all sorts of things that might have happened. Police had been called. Glen and Frank combed the paddocks and creek with spotlights to no avail. I immediately took off on foot with a torch, mobile phone and my collie in search of Mark, hoping the dogs bark, would initiate a response from Skye

if she was within hearing distance. I knocked on some doors close to the north end of town, and them bumped into Moira and Dennis as they were leaving the church, explained the situation, and asked them to keep an eye and ear open. Thanks to the wonderful community bush telegraph putting the word out that Mark & Skye were lost, we discovered in no time flat we had a small search party going.! Lorraine Westerly & Paul Bayliss ,who were out looking, Loz thought she heard something, which turned out that she had heard Skye who came running to her, she asked Skye where Mark was, and the ever faithful Skye led Lorraine straight to him. Poor Mark had somehow fallen in the creek and was sitting on the bank very cold, soaked to the skin and miserable, he sustained a few scrapes and a swollen hand. He was then transported to Goulburn Base Hospital by his family for assessment and observation. All turned out fine and your editor saw Mark and Skye in

the park on their afternoon walks Tuesday the 20th July.

A NATURAL SODA SPRING.

GOULBURN, Monday.

A natural soda spring has been discovered near Bungonia. It is in a calcareous deposit, and is about 30f t deep.

The water contains carbonate of soda, carbonate of lime, and magnesia dissolved in large excess of carbonic acid, also iron sulphur. It is said to be possessed of very active curative properties in cases of debility, biliousness, rheu-matism, &C. Mr. James Armstrong is the owner. He also holds a lease of the mineral spring at Cooma, but has determined to relinquish it in favour of the Bungonia discovery. Sydney Morning Herald Tuesday October 24, 1893 p5

DESTRUCTIVE BUSH FIRE.

GOULBURN, Sunday. A bush fire, which started at about 11 o'clock on Wednesday morning in the vicinity of Pigeon Creek, Bungonia, burnt out about 3000 acres of grass and scrub country, as well as a considerable amount of fencing. Practically all the country from the 12-miles post on Bungonia road to Bungonia Creek was burnt out, and consists chiefly of Crown lands, the lessees of which are Messrs. J. Hogan, B. Pearce, W. Francis, and Hansell. The homes of Messrs. J. and E. Armitt were in danger, but the wind changed and saved them. The telephone line is burnt down in three places, and about two miles of poles will have to be replaced. Three hundred head of sheep belonging to Mr. R. Taylor, are missing. Sydney Morning Herald Monday January 18, 1926 p14

FORTY-EIGHT YEARS A POSTMISTRESS.

Gardening in August.

Spring is just around the corner (we are told) and a few of the spring bulbs are now starting to flower, Hellebores are also in flower these make a very nice show with a variety of colours, there are also some beautiful doubles available from the nurseries Roses can still be pruned, cut out any dead and damaged wood also any weak stems. Old roses need less pruning. Start fertilising around shrubs and perennials that are starting to make new growth. Lightly prune camellias that have finished flowering to encourage a more compact shape and mulch well. Plant summer / autumn flowering bulbs now, the range includes hippeastrums, nerines and liliums to name a few. Stay warm

THANK YOU

I would like to thank the folk of Bungonia Village and surroundings for the well wishes you expressed after my recent heart surgery. Special thanks for the quick response from Windellama SES First Aid & CFR when I needed urgent attention at 1.30am. All turned out well and life is back to normal.

OUT OF THE SCIENTIST’S GARDEN by

Dr. Richard Stirzaker, CSIRO Senior Research Fellow, CRC for irrigation futures.

About a year ago I met Richard Stirzaker at the ANU Coastal Campus at Kioloa. I had been responsible for organ-ising a Dialogue entitled “The Land Restoration Imperative – Many Pathways, One Goal” which, in turn had been sponsored by CSIRO, the Federal Departments of Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries (DAFF) and Environment, Heritage, Water & the Arts (DEWHA) & NSW Department of Industry & Investment (formerly DPI). Michael Jeffery acted as “Moderator General”, keeping people from the bio-dynamic, permaculture, organic, key-line, ho-listic management, cell grazing, pasture cropping and natural sequence “faiths” from coming to blows. As it turned out, they all got along like a house on fire although some turned the blow torch on the scientists from CSIRO and ANU. Little did I know, until reading his excellent self-exposé entitled “Out of the Scientist’s Garden”, that Richard is a “believer”. The collection of 21 loosely related essays traces Richard’s childhood in South Africa, his tertiary journey through Agricultural Science, a PhD at Sydney University, CSIRO career in irrigation research and field experiences in South Africa and Australia. All the while, he was attempting to “ground truth” the conventional scientific approach against his trial and error experimentation in a suburban Canberra garden. Gardeners are born, not made and Richard’s passion for growing edibles is manifest in this eminently readable publication. The battles with insects, birds, diseases and water restrictions represent a farmer’s life in miniature. He discusses the difficulties of translating backyard practices into broadacre application but admits to being un-able to offer the “recipe”. Richard describes the book as being about “how to think about things”, not “how to do it”. Unusually, for a scien-tist, he points out the shortcomings of the scientific approach. “These days, scientists are under constant pressure to demonstrate the value of their research work, in order to justify further funding. I always find this difficult. Some days it seems we are on the cusp of a breakthrough and other days the status quo seems immoveable.” A read of this short and entertaining book won’t put an end to your farming nightmares, but it will give you com-fort. It will make you realise how hard it is to get things right even part of the time and that you’re not alone in struggling to be a better land manager. More importantly, it highlights that the gulf between farmers and scientists is narrowing and this can only lead to better utilisation of our natural agricultural resources. Dr. Stirzaker was too polite to say that it’s the government who should be funding the building of the bridge over that gulf, rather than underwriting its perpetuation. “Out of the Scientist’s Garden” is published by CSIRO Publishing, 150 Oxford Street, Collingwood, Victoria, 3066.

Community Communications for Bungonia

On Monday 28 June 2010 the new Community Communica-tions radio repeater was ‘turned on’ for testing. This project has been privately funded and supplied for the purpose of providing better radio communications for the regular visitors and residents of Bungonia and the surrounding area.

The system has been used for effective communications between Bungonia Hts and Goulburn – down to Win-dellama & Nerriga. At this time there is no coverage (or extremely limited) to the north or north east but that issue is being addressed. The repeater is an Icom radio system and transmits at 50 watts whereas UHF Citizen Band radios are only, legally, allowed to transmit at 5 watts. This new Community radio transmits (Tx) on frequency 472.600 and the receive (Rx) frequency is 477.800 You are all welcome to use this private frequency for your day to day use – as long as it isn’t for commercial use or being used in an offensive or harassing manner. For those of you who are familiar with a UHF CB radio – these frequencies are just above what is commonly known as channel 40 – which means that your old normal UHF CB radio will not be able to get up to those fre-quencies unless the radio can be programmed or reprogrammed. If you are about to invest in the purchase of a UHF CB radio – please be aware that ACMA (Australian Communi-cations & Media Authority) are about to announce that the old 40 channel UHF CB will be obsolete in 5 years and that the ‘new’ standard for UHF CB will be 76 channels. Those 76 channels will still be in the same frequency range (1 & 40) but will go from 25Khz to 12.5Khz split which effectively means your old radio will only be capa-ble of half the capacity for effective communications in that band. So my suggestion to you, if you are going to upgrade your UHF CB, is not to purchase a 40 channel radio that cannot be reprogrammed - but to purchase a radio that can be easily programmed to accommodate the 76+ chan-nels, is capable of transmitting at a power level of at least 5 watts and has a frequency range of between 400Mhz and 500Mhz. If you would like any further details – have no hesitation to contact me about it. Cal 48447273 CalsRock@Gmail.com www.Bungonia.net

Goulburn Mulwaree food retailers to join Scores on

Doors program

A new voluntary scoring system designed to heighten awareness of food safety performance in restaurants and ca-fes has started in Goulburn Mulwaree. The Scores on Doors system, which is designed to inform consumers about food safety performance in the food retail and food service sector, began in Goulburn Mulwaree on 1 July 2010. The voluntary trial will run for six months, with more than 150 businesses in the area eligible to take part. Goulburn Mulwaree Council’s Manager of Environmental Services Sonia Spotswood said businesses would be ranked using an A, B, C or P scoring system, with Council’s health inspectors carrying out the scoring. Mrs Spotswood said the voluntary program was aimed at recognising and rewarding the businesses in the commu-nity who maintain high standards of food safety. “Under the Scores on Doors program, the best score ranking will be ‘A’ followed by ‘B’ and then ‘C’, which means that the business complies with food safety standards, but to a varying degree,” Mrs Spotswood said. “The ‘P’ status will be given where the inspection has led to compliance action, such as an improvement notice or penalty notice and the business is working to address the unsatisfactory issues. “Council has posters we issue to the businesses to display in their front window, showing their score, however a written agreement between Council and participating food businesses means the business can’t opt out of the pro-gram if it gets a bad score.” A breakdown of the grading system can be found in the box below:

“A Grades are awarded for those eateries who have excellent standards, while B Grades are given to those busi-nesses where they have good food safety practices, but may have an accumulation of minor issues that has no di-rect impact on food safety, such as uncovered food in storage,” Mrs Spotswood said. “C Grades are given where the business has acceptable food safety standards, but there is an accumulation of breaches within the premises, such as some uncovered product in storage, a number of minor temperature control issues within the business and some maintenance issues.

Continued on next page

A

Excel-lent

The business can be proud of this accomplishment. It achieved the highest level of food safety standards.

B

Good

The business has good food safety practices. Some minor areas where standards were not met will need to be addressed.

C

Accept-able

The business has an acceptable standard of food safety per-formance. A number of areas, although not serious, need to be corrected.

P

Pend-ing

The business did not achieve an acceptable level of food safety performance in a number of areas. The business will be in-spected again to ensure the problems are rectified.

Participant

The business is waiting for the initial inspection and is yet to re-ceive a grade.

10

“P Grades are generally breach types that have historically been linked to food borne illness, such as poor hand washing behaviour particularly by food handlers who are ill, or widespread cleaning, pest control and temperature control breaches within the food business. A ‘P’ grading is issued for three months, and the business will be re-inspected following the three month period to re-determine the grade. “This scoring system is built on the existing inspection regime, where Council inspectors will use an inspection checklist template and scoring system adopted for the entire state to achieve consistency in interpretation of in-spections. “We have written to all the eligible businesses in the area informing them of the Scores of Doors program and let-ting them know. “If there is a complaint investigation of a business which results in enforcement action, Councils have the option of replacing an A, B or C grade with a P grade,” Mrs Spotswood said. “The P grade does not mean the business is unsafe, just that there is room for improvement or action is required to prevent an issue becoming serious. In the event a more serious safety breach occurs, Council has the option to util-ise its other enforcement tools including penalty, prosecution or closure.” MEDIA INTERVIEWS: Please contact Goulburn Mulwaree Council’s Manager of Environmental Services Sonia Spotswood on 4823 4401.

MEDIA ENQUIRIES: Please contact Goulburn Mulwaree Council’s Communications Unit on 4823 4412 or 4823 4548.

Christmas Closure Goulburn Mulwaree Council will close for four and a half working days over the Christmas period. Staff will break up at noon on Friday 24 December 2010 and come back to work on Tuesday 4 January 2011. Council will con-tinue to maintain its essential services, including water treatment, waste collection, parks maintenance and the Companion Animal Facility during this time, with an after-hours service in place for any associated emergency call outs. Following the reopening, Council will have a skeleton staff in place to ensure a continuation of services into the New Year.

Village Development Plans

Council has endorsed Village and Town plans for Bungonia, Tarago, Marulan, Tallong and Towrang as reference documents. These plans represent the vision and goals of the town/village community and provide a framework for the com-munity to help themselves. The plans are a useful reference for Council in the development of the Community Strategy Plan and will be used in future budgets. Council recently held Community Strategic Plan workshops in a number of villages and towns in Goulburn Mul-waree, providing the opportunity for these plans to be presented. Each plan was subsequently lodged as a sub-mission to the Community Strategic Plan.

Learn to Swim fees and charges Learn to Swim lessons at the Goulburn Aquatic Centre will now be cheaper, following Council’s decision to re-move GST from the fees.

A THANK YOU

From Our Local Member of State Parliament: Pru Goward

and St. Anthony’s shelter for women escaping domestic violence.

I have been overwhelmed by the amazing kindness shown by the community in support of St Anthony's shelter for women escaping domestic violence. When I first asked people to look into their cupboards for spare toiletries I was hoping for sample products or travel items, anything that would help to make life a little easier for women who are suddenly homeless. Local people have surpassed all expectations, however, and have not only dug deep into their own supplies but have also gone shopping and put together parcels overflowing with essential items. Many local businesses have also shown their support and provided night attire, underwear and luxury items. On behalf of St Anthony's and the women who have received the care parcels that have been so thoughtfully assembled, please accept our heartfelt thanks. We have clearly met our target for 2010 but I will definitely call on the community again when St Anthony's is in need.

Local Health Service Advisory Committee Goulburn GREATER SOUTHERN AREA HEALTH SERVICE Dated 15th June,2010

COMMITTEE WELCOMES VISIT BY NEW SECTOR GENERAL MANAGER At its June Meeting on 24th June 2010, the Goulburn Health Advisory Committee (GHAC) was pleased to welcome Ms Karen Lenihan, the acting General Manager of the Greater Southern Area Health Service (GSAHS) Eastern Sector. Following meetings with senior local staff earlier that day, Ms Lenihan took the opportunity to come along and briefly address the members, and, to respond to questions from within the forum.

RE-APPOINTMENT OF COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES Community Representatives who serve on the GHAC are appointed for a 2-year period, and are eligible to provide their services for up to six years. At this stage, most Re-appointments have been confirmed, and it is confidently expected that all current serving members will continue in their present roles.

DISASTER PLANNING Goulburn Base Hospital's Disaster Plan will now include a contingency plan for Steriliser Unit failure. This is most timely, particularly in the light of a recent gas main failure close to the campus, which cur-tailed the ability to access hot water and maintain heating systems. Thankfully, the repairs to the gas main were quickly effected, with only minimum inconvenience being caused to staff and patients.

BERRIMA DISTRICT CREDIT UNION (BDCU) GOULBURN HOSPITAL FUNDRAISING

Inc. As part of its ongoing commitment, the BDCU GHF recently provided funds to permit the acquisition of a Point-of-Care Testing Machine for the Emergency Department, along with a Blanket Warmer for use in the Surgical Ward.

STAFF MOVEMENTS During the past month, a number of Casual Enrolled Nurses (ENs) have joined the Base Hospital, along with Registered Nurses (RNs). Some of these personnel have been attached to the Theatre staff

CARDIAC REHABILITATION Goulburn's Community Health recently commenced a review of its cardiac rehabilitation program. This follows a similar review of pulmonary rehabilitation which was completed during 2009. Research is presently being undertaken with a view to benchmarking the program locally along with other estab-lished programs like the existing St Vincent's Hospital (Sydney) Cardiac rehabilitation programs. This process is expected to be ongoing for the next 6-12 months.

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY TEAM Currently, the Team is completing an evaluation of their refined clinical streaming with patients and staff, alike. This clinical streaming will go a long way to ensuring that patients will see the same thera-pist, whether they attend at the Base Hospital, or, at the Bourke Street Health Service.

BOURKE STREET HEALTH SERVICE (BSHS) Congratulations, Jim Huntley, on your having successfully completed your PhD (Everyone now calls him 'The Doctor') Dr Jim is a practising Psychologist attached to the BSHS team.

During May, Professor Stuart-Harris along with Drs Chua, Crispin and Austen conducted clinics, with Prof Stuart-Harris and his Registrar seeing 35 clients. Dr Chua saw 21 patients, and Dr Austen (the Ra-diation Oncologist) and her Registrar saw 26 patients. Dr Philip Crispin is now providing haematology clinic locally, which means that patients need no longer travel to Canberra for this service. Chemother-apy was administered to some 83 patients during the same period. A very special thank you is extended to the members of the medical and nursing staff who managed these activities, along with the army of volunteers who provided a wide range of patient services, including serving cups of tea etc.
