July 2019 The Tarago Times is a non-profit community service, published monthly by the Tarago Sporting Association Inc by a team of volunteers. It has a circulation of 525 copies distributed throughout Tarago, Lake Bathurst, Mayfield, Boro, Taylors Creek and the surrounding district. View online at http://www.tarago.org.au/tarago_community_times.php Congratulations to our Reverend Tom Frame AM When Tom Frame was 7 years old he told his adoptive mother he wanted to be one of two things when he grew up - a clergyman or a butcher as these were the men in his community he respected the most. After 14-years of Naval service, he chose the former and from tough beginnings, at the age of 39 he become Australia’s youngest Anglican Bishop. In 1991 he completed his doctorate in history at the Australian Defence Force Academy. Tom has also written 47 books on theology, philosophy and history which are his passion. The Order of Australia (AM) honour recognises his “significant service to higher education, to the Anglican Church of Australia, and to the community.” Tom is the director of the Howard Library in Canberra (named after former Prime Minister John Howard) a job he enjoys enormously. He is also a former director of the Public Leadership Group and of the Australian Centre for Study of Armed Conflict and Society. He was also Bishop to the Defence Force and directed Saint Mark’s Theological College in Canberra from 2006 to 2014. With his heart firmly placed in rural ministry he has chosen to live in Tarago with his lovely wife Helen raising beef cattle at one of their properties on Mayfield Road. He is also the honorary priest in charge of the Mulwaree Anglican churches St Andrews at Tarago, St Johns at Lake Bathurst and St Matthias at Currawang. Tom is very active in the community when he is not immersed in books and academia, being a member of the Tarago Bushfire Brigade, active sausage sizzler and Truffle Dog Blessing minister for the Mulwaree Anglicans fundraising efforts. He has also held the position of Vice President for the Tarago & District Progress Association Inc (TADPAI) and community representative on the Veolia Community Liaison Committee. He is also a former patron of the Armed Forces Federation of Australia (2002-2006) and Council member of the Australian War Memorial 2004 – 2007.

THE FUTURE In conclusion, can gardeners, landscapes and farms survive without chemicals and keep producing with less costs to themselves and their environment. A particularly important advantage for Australian soil management is better water use efficiency. This means that the rainfall you receive is captured and stored by your soils without running off to be lost from the property. When rains falls you can be confident that it is stored and ready to be used by the crops and pastures on your farm. In this way you build up a buffer against dry spells.

Bindii – Now is the time to remove your Bindii from your lawns. Timing is the key- don’t let them set flower so get in early. It can be done by hand, which I do as I see it come up on my small lawn area. You could also use a small amount of salt or ammonium sulphate sprinkled on each plant.

It’s time to cut back the tops of your Dahlia plants back to ground level. If your Dahlia bulbs are bulging out of the ground now is the time to dig up and divide and replant back into the soil.

Remove any DEAD, DISEASED or DIAGONAL (crossing branches that touch) wood first. Cut out any inward facing branches to create the shape of a vase. Then reduce the height of the plant to the required height. For roses, don’t go below your knee.
