CONTINUING A 135 YEAR TRADITION

Coburns Distillery A New & Exciting Addition To The Burrawang Landscape

March 2017

“Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.” ― Mark Twain

Recently I spent an interesting morning chatting to Mark

Coburn a recent resident in Burrawang Station Lane whose

imagination and passion are intertwined in his plan to build a

single malt whisky distillery here.

His picturesque plot affords a very tranquil outlook over

the Wingecarribee Swamp which is a remnant of a late

glacial swamp. He is passionate about making his distillery

project reflect the natural beauty around him. This serene

landscape is a major feature in his ethos of making a whisky

that reflects the Southern Highlands and the characteristics

of the four seasons that we enjoy.

I learnt that to appreciate whisky one needs to know that

each whisky is an “expression” of its distillery. This defines

it characteristics and innate qualities that are determined by

the distiller. I suppose this translates to terms that we use

for appreciating wine, such as; bouquet, nose, profile etc.

Also I learnt that the malt is the grain that’s sprouted

(thereby converting the [unfermentable] starch in the grain

into [fermentable] sugar) and then toasted to prevent it

from growing into a plant. Malt makes a nice sweet whisky.

So essentially whisky is made from beer - so all you beer

drinkers are half way there to a good whisky.

After the distillation process the whisky is aged in American

oak barrels and this gives rise to the expression of “oaky”

as the taste is influenced by aging in an oak cask and this

implies a woody, spicy, astringent character.

Coburns is still in its nascent stage of development; there is

a long way to go before we see any physical evidence of the

burgeoning distillery and its amazing workings. However,

Mark has been hard at work for a number of years gathering

ideas, refining the concept, speaking to the “go to people”

in the industry, making broad brush decisions to get the big

picture right before the major works commence.

“There is no bad whisky. There are only some whiskys that aren’t as good as

others.” ― Raymond Chandler

Our conversation shed light on the mysteries of whisky and many of the myths

that surround this famous amber liquid.

Myth: Whisky and bourbon are different things

Whisky is the umbrella, generic, term for all spirits under its banner. Bourbon,

Rye, Canadian, Irish, Scotch, and Sour Mash are all examples of different

types of whisky. They are all whisky, and they are all a little different.

Myth: Scotch is peaty because of the peaty water

Only some scotch is smoky. Mainly with Islay malts (Islay being the area

of Scotland) the barley is dried over a peat fire, the smoke of which getting

infused into the barley malt. How smoky depends on how long the barley is left

in the peat smoke. It has nothing to do with the tannins in the water.

Myth: Single Malt” means it all comes from the same barrel:

Another common misconception is that “single malt” means that all the whisky

in the bottle came from just one cask. This confuses the term with “single cask”

or “single barrel.” Instead, “single malt” means the whisky is a) all malt whisky

and b) all comes from the same distillery.

Myth: Whisky ages in a bottle and old bottles are valuable.

Unlike wine, whisky does not age in a bottle. If you have a bottle with ‘’12 Years

Old’’ sign, even if you keep it for 50 years it will still remain as a 12-year old

whisky. It has a very low chance of being valuable unless it is a limited edition.

Myth: Whisky is only made in Scotland

Scotch is only made in Scotland but whisky is produced in lots of countries,

as many as 20 or so. Nowadays Scotland, America, India, Ireland, Canada

and Japan are the countries producing whisky the most. Also there are lots of

great whiskies offering wide variety of tastes produced in different distilleries

all around the world from France to Austria, Australia to Taiwan. In fact, some

whiskies from Japan, Taiwan and Tasmania have been awarded ‘’the best

whisky of the world’’ in the last 5 years. Whisky had also been produced in

Turkey up until 2000’s.

“A fine single malt whisky, of course, is purely medicinal - it cures all manner of

ailments one may care to imagine.”

Alex Morritt, Impromptu Scribe

Mark’s vision is that Coburns will become a must visit destination for the

residents of the Southern Highlands and visitors from far and wide. He wants

everyone to feel pride and ownership that this beautiful landscape will have

a well-designed and architecturally impressive building that is sympatric to its

location while the artisans are producing a range of quality crafted whiskies.

Burrawang Wildes Meadow Progress Association Update

What is the Point of the Progress Association?

I want to begin my first message as President of the Progress Association by thanking Alex Campbell for his enthusiasm

and efforts over the last couple of years. Late last year Alex was offered an exciting career opportunity in the Middle East

based in Bahrain and, after some serious reflection decided to accept it. We all wish him and Jan well and look forward to

their return in a couple of years.

I thank the Committee of the Progress Association for elevating me to the position of President and thank Grant Sherborne

sincerely for stepping into the Vice-President slot.

One of the questions that we are often asked is “What is the purpose of the Progress Association?” Indeed, its one that we

often ask ourselves. To answer this, we can go back to its original formation in 2000, when the stated purpose of the PA

was defined to be:

a) To ensure that progress and development in the local area should maintain the present rural, aesthetic and historical

character of the Burrawang Wildes Meadow area, and

b) To ensure that communication between the residents and those authorities affecting our villages should be properly

maintained.

I believe that this remains our core purpose and we strive to do it as effectively as we can.

One of the key tools in this effort is the production of the Burrawang Herald which remains a valued source information on

local history and events, although technology based tools are now being used effectively to disseminate current information

in a timely manner.

On occasion that involves some advocacy on behalf of the village as we were able to accelerate the renovation of the

children’s playground opposite the café and to achieve a significant expansion of the scope of the work now planned. The

work will be done in two phases, with the first scheduled to commence in March. The second phase will require some

additional funds and we are in the process of applying for grants to allow implementation of the whole plan.

We meet twice a year with the General Manager of the Council and her Deputy GMs and we take these opportunities to

raise the issues within Council’s responsibility that are of concern to our members and residents of the local community. I

take this opportunity to remind you of this so that you can identify concerns and frustrations with local services to us and we

may be able to get some progress.

One area of potential vulnerability is the degree to which we can be considered a representative organisation. The

Burrawang Herald has a circulation of about 500 while membership of the PA is static at about 75-80 families. Clearly there

is a big gap in these numbers and we can be more effective if we have the support of more of you.

So --- if you were considering joining the PA but haven’t acted on it --- please do so. If you are disinclined to join the PA for

any reason ----- please let me know. We are keen to be useful and have access to some of the decision makers. So, if you

have suggestions about how we might do a better job – let us have them. BWMprogressassociation@gmail.com

Warm Regards

Paul Shanahan President, BWM Progress Association

Burrawang Rural Fire Brigade

Gets A New Dog The Burrawang Brigade has recently welcomed a new member of the crew – Rover. Rover is a new system for

notifying brigade members of incidents and allows each

individual to immediately indicate whether they are able

to respond or not. Further, the system tracks those who

are responding in real time so the rest of the crew can see

how far away from the station they are. This system will

greatly improve the efficiency of our response to incidents

and also dramatically cut down on forlorn members

wistfully looking at the empty spot where the truck was

parked just moments before. Huge thanks to Bruce

Waters who has led us into this brave new world.

Speaking of brave, the fearless Alex Campbell has

been farewelled from the brigade as he sets off for new

adventures in Bahrain. Enquiries have been made as to

the process for transferring his membership to the local

fire service in Manama. We wish him and Jan well and

look forward to following their adventures on Facebook.

You know what else is good to follow on Facebook? That’s

right – Burrawang Rural Fire Brigade. Just search for

us and like the page to be kept up to date with local fire

conditions, hints and tips to keep safe and other general

fire matters. Huge thanks to brigade member Mark

Compton, who has taken over the administration of the

page. It is in far safer hand with Mark than many other

members of the brigade who I will choose not to mention

(Yes – I’m talking about Munro).

Recently the brigade has responded to a wide range of

incidents, from shed fires to lightning strikes to suspicious

vehicles. Thankfully, we haven’t had to deal with any

major bush fires so far this season. Fingers are crossed

for the months ahead.

Remember, training takes place on Wednesday evenings

at 7.30. If you would like to learn more about joining or

would just like to see what we get up to, please feel free to

drop by.

We would also like to invite the community to our AGM. It

will be held at the shed on Wednesday March 1st 2017 at

7.30pm All are welcome.

Thank you for your ongoing support of the Burrawang

RFB.

The End of an Era

The Burrawang Pub has been sold. After 25 years at the

helm Ed, Julie and Family are stepping back.

We would like to thank our many patrons and friends both

present and past who have supported us over the years. We

have many great memories to keep forever.

I would also like to acknowledge all of our staff, both past

and present. Special mentions must go to Donna, Allison,

Kylie, Peter and Sally for their loyalty and longevity of

service. Thanks you to all the young guys and girls from

local families who started their working life with us and have

gone onto bigger and brighter things in their lives/careers/

families and to our current employees for their continued

service.

In continuing this great journey we will still be in the village

and running our B&B.

We wish the new owners and operators all the best and

feel the hotel is in good hands to take it to the next level, to

which all in the village and surrounding areas will benefit

The Woolfrey family wish to extend an open invitation

together with the Dean family, to farewell the old and

welcome the new, with drinks and snacks, on Sunday

19th March 5pm to 9pm.

Principal - Michelle Laval

News from Burrawang Public School

We are very excited to once again

have been accepted into the combined

recorder ensemble that will play at the

Sydney Opera House on Wednesday

6th September. Our very own Georgie

(pictured) has also been successful in

gaining a place in the combined string

ensemble, playing her violin at the

same concert.

Great work Georgie!

We are always looking for volunteers to help in our school in a variety of activities. Last year we

were very grateful for the help of some of our local community with our sewing projects. This year,

we are especially looking for anyone who may have a green thumb who could come in and help us in

our vegetable gardens. If you are interested in helping in our garden (or in the classroom) – please

contact the school (48864261)

What our students think of learning at Burrawang Public School

At the end of 2016, we asked our students some questions

about our school to give us some feedback on how we can

improve. Here are some of the responses:-

• The school is the best school in the world.

• I love this school because I have lots of friends and the

teachers are very nice.

• I’ve loved learning and completing goals that I’ve

worked towards. Mr Bourne has made a HUGE impact

in my learning. He’s a keeper. :) Thank you teachers for

everything, it’s been great getting to know all of you guys!!

Best of Luck for the future.

• Burrawang is an amazing school. Everywhere we go

people comment on how well behaved and smart we

are. I really enjoy belonging to this school and I am full of

pride every time I enter the school gates and every time

I go on excursions. I leave the school with some new

knowledge in my brain just waiting to be used. Next year

I hope we can go to some more educational camps and

excursions. I love the kind and loving staff we have. I love

the school.

• Burrawang Helps Me Think Positive And Helps Me Think

More

• I look forward to school every day!

• I think it is an awesome school that strives to be at its

best by using our learning qualities and many other

qualities. I also love how we have lots of fun ways to work

in the classroom for example maths outside. I also like

how we have lots of different interesting activities that we

do for example genius hour, dancing and gymnastics.

• I feel as if students in particular have gained control over

physical and verbal communication with all the effective

learner qualities and the discipline. I feel more confident

in all areas. I think that I’ve become more aware of

making sure that I complete all the effective learner

qualities and my goals. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SCHOOL!

• I think that many of these new initiatives have benefited

me as well as the school. I love the many different ways

we can communicate and show support to each other in

our learning.

We would like to welcome our

new students to Burrawang Public

School. A big welcome to our new

Kindergarten students, Ruby and

Madeleine. We also welcome Lacey

who is joining our 3-6 class and

William who is joining our K-2 class.

Burrawang P&C

If C = 350 – 3 x 15 and P = (√16 + 13) x 100 + 3 x 4,

then P + C = ?

Go on – have a crack at solving it. I’ll wait right here…

Did you get it or give up? Anyway, school’s back for another

year which means so is the P&C. We’re looking forward to

getting stuck in to our fundraising to allow us to continue to

help support the kids and the school in as many ways as we

can.

Good news for those who have been following along, the

Department has finally given us the go-ahead to push

forward with the outdoor kitchen. This is going to be such a

great resource for Burrawang kids for many years to come.

Many thanks to all the parents past and present who have

put some much effort into raising the funds that will allow us

to build the best facility we can.

Many thanks for everyone’s support of our wonderful little

school. We really are incredibly lucky to have it in the

village.

All the best for 2017,

Rob Macdonald

P&C President.

Burrawang Group Meditation

If you have ever meditated you will know the benefits (and

challenges) of stilling your mind. Group meditation is

powerful - you gain from both the discipline and collective

stillness of the group. A handful of locals have been

meditating each Monday 3:00 – 3:45pm in the Burrawang

School of Arts hall. The group is self-directed, there is no

leadership or guidance so it is suited to people who know

the basics of meditation and would enjoy the benefits of

meditating in a group. We usually have a flower or two

as an object of focus but are open to other suggestions or

refinements.

If you would like to know more please call Sally on

0418628712 or just come along on a Monday afternoon.

The participants have been known to re-ground

themselves by enjoying afternoon tea at the Burrawang

Café after the session.

BOOK REVIEW- BY PJW

Mark Lawson is a British novelist and journalist.

His previous novel The Deaths (2013) was

an entertaining murder mystery, constructed

around a satire of the new Tory moneyed

class, hedge fund managers and lawyers,

living in a picturesque village outside London,

preoccupied with their exotic weekend

getaways to Morocco, their designer kitchens

and the latest Range Rover. For sixteen years

Lawson was also host of an Arts program

on BBC radio until, in 2014, he was summarily sacked

for “bullying”. As a freelance on contract rather than a

permanent employee, he had no access to a formal process

and was not given any details of the allegations against

him (he was shown a document listing vague, anonymous

complaints along the lines of “he once criticised me after a

recording” that without any date or name it was impossible

for him to refute).

At first, embarrassed and shamed by the attendant publicity,

he retreated to his farmhouse in Northamptonshire; but rage

and bitterness at his treatment have erupted in his most

recent novel The Allegations (2016).

It is the story of two friends, history professors at a provincial

university; one, a minor celebrity who presents popular

history programs on television, is charged with historical

sexual offences; the other, a committed but cynical teacher,

is accused of bullying his students.

The first thread, which traverses much the same ground as

National Treasure, the recent BBC drama starring Robbie

Coltrane, is less successful; it is darker and turns on what

might or might not have happened between lovers decades

in the past. Lawson’s efforts to be fair and accommodate

changing sexual attitudes rather dulls this material.

However, the other thread is fueled by

Lawson’s own incandescent anger and

frustration. This academic declines the offer of

a generous redundancy package and access

to the university’s resources for his future

research to contest the allegations against him.

He is plunged into an Orwellian world where

challenging or criticising his students (some of

whom seem barely literate) constitutes bullying,

and irony is uncomprehended.

Anyone who has worked in the public service or

a large bureaucracy will recognise the suavely

menacing apparatchiks of the university’s “Department of

Workplace Harmony”, for whom students are “consumers”

whose support is required to promote the university and its

“services” in the marketplace.

Lawson is scathing about the degradation of language and

logic as universities become hostage to the sensitivities

of students. I particularly liked this exchange between the

historian and his inquisitor, who asks “Dr Pimm, do you

accept that you could be intellectually intimidating?”

“Wouldn’t that be an extraordinary accusation in a

university?” he replies.

Lawson’s novel, while flawed, is passionate; it speaks

angrily to the modern world in which every opinion and

grievance, however uninformed or foolish, must be accorded

equal weight. Of course, as a novel, rather than a tweet or a

post, Lawson’s message is unlikely to reach that audience

who most needs to hear it.

(Both books are available from Wingecarribee Library, Moss

Vale branch.)

Burrawang Wildes Meadow 6. Speed Limit on Wildes Meadow Road. RMS have advised that the current speed limit meets their criteria and

Wingecarribee Shire Council Meeting Update

Every six months members of the BWMPA meet with the

General Manager of Wingecarribee Shire Council and her

Deputy General Managers to discuss issues of interest to

the Progress Association which fall within Council’s area of

responsibility.

The last meeting was held on 19 January 2017 and we

raised 10 items with Council officers as follows:

1. Burrawang Playground: Council has previously

undertaken the planning and design of a major upgrade to

the playground and has agreed to fund the first stage of

the work. Council advised that construction is planned to

commence in March 2017.

2. Hoddle Street trees in conflict with powerlines. Some of

the elected councillors had previously shown a keen interest

in this planned work and several of them inspected the site

on 9 November 2016. Council officers undertook to provide

us an update within the month.

3. Asphalt Surface Hoddle Street. The contractor is

being pursued by Council to remedy the situation and a

few rectification works have previously been done. The

contractor is expected back on site during the week of 23

January (this week) to place additional gravel on the soft

and exposed areas.

4. Reconstruction of Church Street. Major improvement

works for Church Street have been identified but it remains

unclear whether this is of sufficient priority to be funded in

the coming financial year. The process for prioritising next

years plans is currently under way and we can expect to

know whether this project will be funded when Council puts

is expenditure plan on public exhibition in late April or early

May. It will be on exhibition for 28 days and Council will

receive public submissions prior to giving final approval to

the plan.

5. Intersection of Church Street with Illawarra Highway.

Council has made representations on our behalf to the

Department of Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) to

improve the safety of this corner by installing a right turn

lane or providing double barrier lines on the Illawarra

Highway on the approach to Church Street. RMS has

advised that the construction of a right turn lane has been

identified in their programme but is not of a sufficiently high

priority to receive funding this year. RMS further advises

that the line marking on Illawarra Why meets their standards

they will make no changes.

7. Roadside Fallen Trees. A number of trees that fell

across roads during the storms in the middle of last year

were cleared to the roadside by council emergency crews.

The debris remains by the roadside. Council will not

be removing this debris as they consider the cost to be

prohibitive in the current circumstances.

8. Dog Waste. We have approached Council to see if

they are willing to support an initiative of the BWMPA to

address the prevalence of dog droppings in the public areas

of Burrawang. The Council officers are supportive and will

provide sample materials for a campaign and will consider

additional assistance once we have firmed up our plans.

9. Chlorine Odour in the Water Supply. Council provided

details of the level of Chlorine found in the Burrawang

supply for the last two years. There was disagreement

as to whether these levels are appropriate and the matter

was held over pending a more detailed discussion with the

Shire’s manager of water and sewerage. This discussion

has not yet occurred.

10. Burrawang Cemetry. The maintenance plan for the

Burrawang Cemetery calls for mowing of the cleared areas

fortnightly in summer and monthly in winter. The remaining

uncleared area (approx. 80% of the area) is slashed every

few years. Council are receptive to any representations we

have to make with respect to care of the cemetery.

In addition to the items we raised, Council alerted us to

plans initiated by the NSW Government to require Councils

to collect an Emergency Services Levy along with their

rates. This is meant to provide funding for SES, RFS etc.

This is yet to be implemented and details are as yet unclear.

Council officers stressed that Local Government was not

consulted in the formulation of the plans and none of the

money collected will remain with the Council. It is to be

passed through to the State Government.

Our next meeting with the Council officers will be in June or

July and if issues arise that you consider we should raise

with them, please let me know. In addition, if you have any

comments or questions about the matters described above I

would be happy to try and answer them.

BURRAWANG SCHOOL OF ARTS

SATURDAY 27th May 2017 - 9.00am to 12 noon

This year the Warner Family will host their 22nd annual

fundraiser for the Cancer Council Australia’s Biggest

Morning Tea.

The funds raised from the Morning Tea help and support

thousands of Australians affected by Cancer, in the following

area: vital work in cancer research, health services,

prevention programs and support services.

Last year through the generosity of the community the

Burrawang Morning Tea raised $13,975.00 and over the

past 21 years has raised $103927.60

The Warner family are forever grateful and sincerely

appreciate the support and help they have received over the

past 21 years in making each morning tea such a success.

We feel that this is one way that we can help contribute to

ensure families have support and services during a time that

we know support is welcomed.

As a community we all have been touched by cancer in

some way, and this is a time to demonstrate solidarity and

give to those who we hope can be cured. The money raised

can help minimise the risk and eradicate this awful disease.

Then hopefully cancer will be history.

Let’s make this year Burrawang’s Biggest Morning Tea on

Saturday 27th May, an outstanding success.

We look forward to seeing you all, at one of the biggest

morning teas held in the region. Come and enjoy a

scrumptious morning tea, great raffle prizes, trading table,

jams and pickles, lucky door prizes and most importantly a

friendly and enjoyable time to be had by all who attend.

St David’s Burrawang

Happy New Year to you all!

Let me tell you about a new experience that I’ve tried

recently - swimming in creeks and rivers. Now to be honest

I’ve found it a little tough at first. I’m an ocean swimmer and

surfer, and I love to see the bottom. Swimming in creeks

and rivers, well they’re a bit “icky,” if that’s a word. But I’m

growing to love it. The water is warm, the rapids feel great

and the scenery is beautiful. We have some wonderful and

spectacular creeks and rivers in the Highlands to swim in.

They are such a blessing and gift from God.

Can I suggest another, possibly new, experience for you

to try this New Year? Try getting to know Jesus Christ.

Saying Jesus is an ‘experience’ really undersells Jesus and

his words in the Bible, but I think you know what I mean.

Why not try two things as you get to know Jesus? Grab a

copy of a Bible, if you don’t have one get in touch with me

and I’ll give you one, and read the book of Mark, which is

a biography of Jesus. It’s only got 16 chapters, you can

probably read it in a couples hours. Second, why not join

some others who also want to get to know Jesus and come

along to St David’s at Burrawang? We meet on the third

Burrawang Easter Market – For Residents

The organisation of the Burrawang Easter Market is well

underway. Stalls are being booked, traffic plans are being

finalised and Valium is being sourced in great quantities.

As there are quite a few new residents in the village I

thought I’d just take the time to outline some of the changes

that take place on the day so people can plan ahead if

needs be.

Hoddle Street between Church and Region Streets is

closed for the day, as is Crown street between Dale and

Hoddle. In order for the stalls to have space to set up on

theses roads, we do ask that no cars are left on the street

the night before.

Additionally, due to the large numbers of visitors to the

markets, traffic changes will be in place on the day. Keep an

eye out in your letterbox a few weeks out for confirmation

of the exact changes – we’ll also post these via Facebook.

It should be noted though, that if you live in the village and

are inviting guests for the day they will more than likely

have varying degrees of difficulty accessing your house by

car on Easter Saturday. As such, it’s probably best to get

all the guests for your wedding, bar mitzvah or annual 500

tournament to arrive the night before to avoid any issues. Of

course, people can always park in one of the parking areas

and proceed by foot to enjoy your hospitality.

We realise that the markets could not continue without the

support of the Burrawang community and thank you for your

understanding. We hope you will enjoy the great day that it

is.

page or check in on the website – http://www.

Many thanks,

Russell’s Ramblings March 2017

Another Australia Day has come and gone, and another

batch of Honours has been awarded covering a wide

range of activities.

Locally some fine people have been recognised for their

great contribution to the community; I congratulate them

on their achievements.

However I have reservations about the logic behind

some awards that were handed out in other areas. I

note the girls in the Rugby 7s at the Olympics have

all been honoured. Winning this event was a fantastic

achievement, but is Rugby7s really an Olympic sport?

Is a one off performance like this to be seen as equal to

the lifetime achievement of our scientists, educators, and

others who dedicate their lives to the betterment of the

entire community?

Personally, I don’t think so.

To my mind the real heroes of Australia are those who

devote their time and energy to charities and other non for

profit organisations to raise money and positive assistance

to those in genuine need.

They don’t seek honours, just a bit of recognition now

and then. Their reward is the satisfaction of knowing they

are helping others in times of need, and in doing so, they

promote community spirit which is beneficial to everyone.

Voluntary contributions to the community bring their own

rewards.

On a different note, it is now necessary for others to take

on the delivery of the Herald in the areas that I have been

covering - Wildes Meadow and nearby areas.

Burrawang School of Arts

Since the last issue of the Herald, we have only had one event at the School of Arts - the Christmas party.

This time we introduced a new addition to the party

- Christmas carols. To say it was received with

acclamation is an understatement.

Thanks to our Mr Music, Alex Pope, and our Master

of Ceremonies, Dwight Dowda, it was an enormous

success, and all who attended agreed that 2017

should be bigger and better. Numbers, particularly

of the younger generation were most pleasing, and

we are very grateful for the enthusiastic support from

Michelle Laval (Burrawang Public School) and all the

kids and their parents who attended.

By the time this issue is published, the Abba Tribute

Concert will have happened, so there will be a report

on that in the second Herald for the year.

The Burrawang Kitchen Anne Geddes

SUMMERTIME……. AND THE LIVIN’ IS EASY!!!!

As I write this article, the thermometer has hit a high 35°C. Who wants to cook

in this heat, let alone eat anything that is hot and spicy?

In this languid heat, one of the most important things is NOT to be standing over

a hot stove. Swimming at the beach; reading under the shade of a large tree;

enjoying an aperitif with friends or just sitting under a fan watching the tennis are

the things we should be indulging in!!

It cannot be stressed enough how important it is to keep hydrated in the heat.

We obtain about 20 – 30% of our total fluid intake from the foods we eat. As long

as we drink throughout the day, when we are thirsty and more often if we are

exercising, then we should be okay. However, during really hot summer days, we

really need to increase our intake of water, as we are perspiring so much more.

I was reminded today, that it is such a ‘Gen Y’ thing to always have a bottle of

water with you. For us ‘Baby Boomers’ we are not accustomed to carrying a

water bottle with us everywhere we go, making it slightly more difficult to take in

the required 1 – 2 litres of water per day. But it is imperative to keep hydrated –

and, although tea and coffee do count slightly, they are also diuretics.

Let’s get back to what we should be eating …..

If we take the Chinese point of view, we should eat foods that are cooling in terms

of Chinese medicine –

• Hot rice with cooling mung beans

• Chicken and watermelon salad with yoghurt dressing

• Stir-fried cucumbers with blue swimmer crab

•

If it is very hot, our bodies can acquire heat and this leads to drying out of the

skin, lack of body fluid and constipation. Therefore if we eat more ‘cooling’ foods

it can balance the body - Yin and Yang.

Most of the foodstuffs that are in season tend to be classified as ‘Cooling Foods’.

For us in Australia, we are sublimely lucky to have an abundance of fresh fruit

and vegetables to cool and check the balance of our bodies.

Crisp, fresh vegetables eaten raw in salads with poached chicken or lightly

sautéed Salmon are always winners. Try mixing fresh herbs like Basil or

Coriander through your salads to give extra crunch and taste. Adding nuts

or seeds to your dishes will enhance flavour and also boost your protein and

antioxidant intake.

Desserts are a snap in summer – Fresh strawberries and

raspberries mixed with fresh lime juice and some Chobani

Greek Yoghurt is just lovely.

Just on the subject of yoghurts, you might be interested to

know a little bit about Chobani Yoghurt. After reading this

article several months ago, it is my ’go to’ yoghurt – hope

you agree!!

While tidying up his desk back in 2005, our Founder and

CEO, Hamdi Ulukaya, stumbled upon a classified ad for

a yogurt plant recently closed down by Kraft. After initially

throwing the ad away, Hamdi listened to his gut, fished it

out of the trash and went to see it that day. He decided to

buy the plant on the spot, and went to work on perfecting

the recipe for Chobani based on his belief that everyone,

regardless of income or location, deserved access to

delicious, high-quality yogurt. The first cup of CHO finally

hit shelves 18 months later and has since grown to become

America’s #1 yogurt.

Chobani is now made in Australia at their Dandenong South

Plant in Victoria using whole Australian milk from local

farmers. Chobani has the following qualities …

• no preservatives. no artificial colours or flavours.

• fat-free and low-fat varieties

• two times more protein per serving than regular yogurt.

• includes 5 live & active cultures, including 3 probiotics.

• source of calcium.

• safe for those with corn, nut, and soy allergies.

• gluten-free and kosher-certified.

• suitable for vegetarians.

CHOBANI FOUNDATION

The Chobani Foundation was built on the principles of

empowering positive, sustainable change locally, regionally

and globally. We believe in doing business the right and

responsible way, so we give a portion of our profits to

charity through the Chobani Foundation.

What to cook?

Let’s choose tomatoes and make a cooling summer

soup………

Railway Street Fresh Food & Produce Market – Elizabeth Varley

Fresh, organic, home grown, made by hand, garden fresh, pure and wholesome,

these were words that were used describe the food that we ate in years past -

these have been replaced by: packaged, refined, processed, purified, treated,

chemically enhanced and biologically engineered.

How would you like to go back to the days when shopping for your food you could

speak to the grower, producer and artisan and be able to pick up the produce and

test its freshness and quality? Moss Vale has a new Growers Market where the

quality and freshness of the produce are the stars of the show.

You will find locally grown aquaponic & certified organic produce, preserves

made from local produce, Curly’s Compost, sourdough bread, patisserie-style

pies and quiches, locally propagated seedlings and food plants grown by the

Community Garden, local wines, fish, free-range eggs, Snax-on-Trax coffee van

with delicious home-baked cakes & biscuits, Japanese pancakes and more. Be

entertained by local musicians as you shop.

Kate Cretney is the Market Manager and recently, over a cup of coffee, we

chatted about the new and exciting development of having wonderful fresh

produce on our door step at Moss Vale. In many parts of the world such as

Europe and Asia it is a given that you can go to the food market and buy

wonderful fresh produce that has been grown locally and sold by the grower

themselves.

The ethos behind the Railway Street Fresh Food & Produce Market is that the

produce is described as “fair food”. Fair Food is produce grown and harvested

on farms participating in partnership among farmers and farmworkers, which

ensures humane wages and working conditions for the workers who pick fruit and

vegetables and the produce is grown in a sustainable way..

Like most countries, Australia has a long tradition of a backyard veggie patch

and orchard, yet this dwindled significantly with the rise of the supermarkets and

fast food in the post-war era. Now backyard food growing is returning strongly,

with recent surveys suggesting over 50% of adults are involved. Many are also

involved in community food production, especially community gardens and school

kitchen gardens, which have expanded rapidly since the 1990s.

The unique aspect of this market is that each of us can participate as they offer

a sales opportunity where one off produce can be displayed and sold on an

aggregate table along with other one off producers. So if you have a surplus

of fruit, veg, herbs, flowers etc make a call and join the fresh food market

movement. Kate 0468 331 738 she is keen to chat to you or email katecretney@

hotmail.com Also weekly updates www.facebook.com/OntheGrow

Come and join us and help support our local growers to produce seasonal

fresh food through sustainable farming methods.

Every Thursday from 3pm till 6pm on the Greens - Cnr Railway & Spring

Streets, Moss Vale

A Message from the Mayor

Australia Day is without doubt a

very special day and it’s one of our

most important days of the year. On

Australia Day we all take great pride

in being Australian.

Australia Day prompts us to reflect on our nation’s history; it

also prompts us to look forward to the future. I believe that

Australia Day allows us to pause and re-commit to making

Australia an even better place for future generations.

Australia Day reminds us to be thankful for our rich

Aboriginal heritage, diversity, flora and fauna and it provides

us with an opportunity to reflect on what we have achieved

and what we can be proud of in our great nation.

Here in historic Berrima, we come together to celebrate not

only this incredible country, but our beautiful Shire and our

unique residents.

Indeed one of the many highlights of today will be the

announcement of our Shire’s Australia Day Citizen Award

recipients.

We are indeed very lucky to have such dedicated,

hardworking and compassionate people residing amongst

us and our Shire is without doubt a better place as a result

of their selfless contributions.

Another highlight will be the welcome we give to our newest

citizens who will take the pledge of commitment as a citizen

of the Commonwealth of Australia.

I would personally thank our Australia Day Ambassador, Mr

Bob Turner. Over the years we have had many wonderful

Ambassadors join us for our local celebrations. Today is no

exception as we’re joined by one of Australia’s pre-eminent

basketball coaches and sports administrators.

Bob himself immigrated to Australia over 40 years ago to

originally play basketball fortunately for us - he decided to

stay on.

I’m sure Bob has many fond memories from his own

Citizenship Ceremony. On behalf of Wingecarribee Shire

Council, I extend a warm Australia Day welcome to each

and every one of you and encourage you all to ‘Celebrate

what’s great’ about this land we call home.

Happy Australia Day Clr Ken Halstead – Mayor

MESSAGE FROM THE NSW EMERGENCY SERVICES LEVY INSURANCE MONITOR

The way the NSW Government funds the Emergency Services agencies is

changing-there will no longer be a levy on your insurance policy.

Currently, individuals and businesses insuring property in NSW contribute to

the Emergency Services Levy as part of their insurance premiums. This levy

supports the work of Fire and Rescue NSW, the NSW Rural Fire Service and

the NSW State Emergency Service. These vital community services help

NSW residents and businesses protect their property from fire, flood, storms

and other natural disasters.

Your current Emergency Services Levy will be detailed on your insurance

policy statement.

For policies commencing from 1 July 2017, the NSW Government intends that

the Emergency Services Levy will no longer be included as part of the cost of

your property insurance. This means that insurance premiums will be lower than

would otherwise be the case.

The NSW Government appointed Professor Allan Fels AO and Professor David

Cousins AM as the Emergency Services Levy Insurance Monitor and Deputy

Monitor, respectively, to head an independent agency overseeing the removal of

the Emergency Services Levy. The Monitor aims to ensure that any cost savings

arising from the removal of the Emergency Services Levy are passed on in full.

From 2017-18, funding for the emergency services agencies will be collected

alongside local council rates. Councils will clearly show the new levy as a

separate item on your council rates notice. This change in the method of

collecting funding for those agencies is intended to ensure all property owners

contribute their fair share to the cost of emergency services, rather than only

those choosing to insure their property. The Government has indicated this

change will not reduce the funds available to the emergency services agencies.

If you would like further information on the insurance side of Emergency Services Levy Reform and the removal of the ESL you can contact the Monitor on Ph:1300 607 723, enquiries@eslinsurancemonitor.nsw.gov.au,

or www. eslinsurancemonitor.nsw.gov.au.

If you require further Information about the property levy side of Emergency

Services Levy Reform and the new ESPL please email your enquiries to
