They’ve been Joffed!

The long-awaited Mick Joffe book “Living Treasures of the Snowy Mountains” was launched in fine style at Berridale Community Hall last Sunday.

About 300 people, many of whom appear in the book, attended the launch.

Mick Joffe, cartoonist and caricaturist, has been working on the book for nearly four years.

The book includes sketches and anecdotes from the 147 subjects Mick has “Joffed” in the last few years.

At the opening, Mick paid tribute to some of his

subjects who passed away before the book was published. He also thanked the many people locally and in Sydney, who helped him with the creation of ‘Living Treasures”.

Mick has asked the next generation to start working on their own living history, targeting the 50 to 70 year-old age group Mick did not cover.

Part of the ceremonies on Sunday was the presentation of a copy of the book to each high school in Cooma. This was sponsored by Member for Monaro, John Barilaro.

Several copies of the book were sold on the day.Mick will be in the area for a couple of months to

continue his sales.

Pictured, a long procession led the way to the book launch in Berridale on Sunday.

Inset: Mick Joffe raises his hat to the crowd, accompanied by Frank Prihoda and driven by Fiona.

Snowy River Shire’s NAIDOC spring celebrations

The community is welcome to join in NAIDOC celebrations with the Ngarigo People, Traditional Owners, Elders and their families on Saturday, September 22 from 10am-3pm.

The day commences at 10am at the front of the National Parks and Wildlife Services building, Jindabyne, where there will be

Welcome to Country and a flag raising ceremony.

The celebrations will then continue at the community stage (amphitheatre/clay-pits) on the Lake Jindabyne foreshore where families are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch, rugs and chairs and enjoy family activities, displays, story-telling,

demonstrations, live entertainment, and a sausage sizzle in celebration of our Indigenous culture. In the case of bad weather the event will be moved to the Memorial Hall. The celebrations coincide with the annual spring releases of water into the snowy river and other events in the region.

Deputy Leader of the Federal Opposition, Julie Bishop, hasy officially launched the campaign of the Liberal

candidate for Eden-Monaro, Peter Hendy. “I am particularly pleased to officially launch Peter Hendy’s campaign for election to the bellwether electorate of Eden-Monaro,” Ms Bishop said.

“Peter Hendy is an outstanding candidate who will provide the people of Eden-Monaro with an opportunity to help return good government to Australia.

“I have known Peter Hendy for many years and admire his commitment to making a positive difference to the lives of others. He has strong personal values of self-reliance, integrity, perseverance and hard work.

“Peter’s background

in small business and as a leader in the business community as the Chief Executive of the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry will make him an ideal advocate for the people of Eden-Monaro, where creating jobs is done through supporting its economic engine – the small business sector,” she said.

“Peter has a particular skill for listening to and connecting with people and this combined with his commitment to fighting for a better deal for his local community, will make him an outstanding representative in Parliament and leader in the community.”

Hendy’s campaign launched

Cooma Campus supports R U OK Day

The Snowy Restaurant at Cooma TAFE was the venue for this year’s R U OK Day function at the Cooma Campus on Thursday September 13.

R U OK Day is a national day of

action held on the second Thursday of September each year, which is dedicated to inspiring all people of all backgrounds to regularly ask each other “Are you okay?”

Allan Barkley, who was standing in for Campus counsellor, Mandy Reeks, explained how important it is for people in the community to communicate with each other.

“It’s a focus day designed to assist with raising peoples’ awareness to the levels of stress and suicidal tendencies among others in the community.” Mr Barkley said. “The objective is

to encourage people to begin conversations that will change lives, to look, listen and actively observe the people we talk to”.

The organisation was developed following an increase in suicide among younger people and has been monitoring youth concerns closely, encouraged the R U OK agenda in schools as well as in the workplace and is especially focused on regional communities in an effort to counter the stigma attached to speaking up about depression, suicide and/or other mental health issues. People are encouraged to actively listen, actively engage

and to take some sort of action if things are Not Okay!

“People need to know that help is available” Mr Barkley added “but in order to get help, they must open up.”

The organisation is hoping to educate people in Australian communities on how to identify risk factors for suicide, on how to support people at risk and how best to refer them to the appropriate professional and emergency services if they feel some type of intervention may be necessary.

STOCK UP FOR FOOTY FINALS

The September 8 local government elections have now been decided, with the three incumbent mayors all being re-elected.

The first popular election of mayor in Snowy River Shire saw John Cahill (pictured) elected, with 1470 votes from Peter Beer on 1069 and John Shumack on 939.

Mr Beer and Mr Shumack were re-elected as councillors and have been joined by Vickii Wallace, Bob Frost, Colin Stewart-Beardsley and Bill Smits.

Sitting councillor Tony Hayes and candidate Nick Elliott were unsuccessful.

Cr Cahill said he was overwhelmed by the support he had received, recording 401 votes more than his closest rival.

He welcomed the two new councillors to council, but said the reduced size of council could be a concern.

However, he said he looked forward to the new councillors developing their skills while on council and was conscious of the need to let them develop their talents within the council environment.

In Bombala, mayor Bob Stewart stole more than 40 percent of the vote to be re-elected to council.

He is joined by Bill Bateman, Steve Goodyer, Brad Yelds, Suzanne Haslingden, Joe Ingram and Diane Hampshire.

Cr Stewart is now in his fifth term on Bombala Shire Council and will contest the mayoral election on October 3.

He said the election had “finished up with a good crew” on council.

Asked if councils might face amalgamation within this term, Cr Stewart said he believed all three Monaro councils should retain their autonomy.

But he emphasised the need for resource sharing amongst the councils.

“Resource sharing is crucial and has to be done through management. It can be done, especially with today’s technology and it has to be done.

Cr Stewart said retaining autonomy would see Bombala Shire ‘running the business” as effectively as possible. He believed amalgamation would costs jobs ‘for no better

service”.He said Bombala Shire was in a ‘pretty

good shape”“We have good financials, a good

management plan, so its steady as she goes as far as I’m concerned, keeping a good eye on everything”.

In Cooma-Monaro Shire, preferences have had a profound effect on final figures.

Due to the number of candidates and the complexity of distributing preferences, the final figures weren’t known until late on Thursday.

Front-runners on first preferences, Dean Lynch and Bronnie Taylor were returned, as were Winston Phillips, Tony Kaltoum and Martin Hughes.

New faces on council for this term are Ignazio Mondello, Rogan Corbett, Craig Mitchell and Angie Ingram.

In took nine counts, with the distribution of preferences, to finalise the count, with Tony

Kaltoum the last one elected.Returning mayor, Dean Lynch, has

described the result as creating a ‘really workable council”.

“It’s a good mix of people with two councillors having more than 20 years experience on council, three councillors part of the last progressive council and four fresh faces, each with various skills and from various backgrounds.

“One is a real doer and was named Citizen of the Year this year; one is a developer, who puts his money were his mouth is; one is a female and it’s good to see two females on council. This councillor has a medical background as well as family connections with the region.

We also have a councillor who has been a strong voice for the rural voters, as president of the NSW Farmers Association local branch.

Cr Bronnie Taylor said she was very happy to be re-elected.

“I’m really looking forward to the next four years.

‘I’m looking forward to working with Dean and progressing the shire”.

Long-serving councillor Winston Phillips was elected fourth. He said “I would like to thank the residents and ratepayers for their ongoing support and trust in me. “ I will continue to do my best to represent all the residents and ratepayers of our Shire over the next four years.”

Cr Martin Hughes said it was very interesting how the preferences had influenced the outcome of the election.

He said he will be working to the best of his ability to represent ratepayers.

He said Cr Lynch has his full support and he was pleased his (Cr Lynch’s) efforts had been recognised by the community.

He also congratulated Craig Mitchell on his election and Rogan Corbett. Cr Mitchell had been selected by the Cooma Australia

Day committee chaired by Cr Hughes to be a local ambassador this year and Cr Corbett was chosen by the committee as Citizen of the Year.

Cr Tony Kaltoum said he was really happy to b re-elected, after he initially intended to stand down.

However, he said he decided to stand again after he saw some of the nominations for council.

While happy to be re-elected, Cr Kaltoum said he was very disappointed with the high informal vote count at the election.

“We live in the best country in the world _ we are a democracy and we are allowed to vote. It is disappointing some people waste that opportunity.

“I am sure I can contribute something back to the community, I am pleased some of the negative candidates didn’t succeed”.

New councillor Rogan Corbett said he had been overwhelmed by support in the leadup to the elections.

“I’m hoping for a very unified council which will work together to benefit the shire.

“There are some issues we need to work on, so let’s get on with the job”.

Cr Ignazio Mondello, who has been elected in his third attempt at council, said he would like to help the town to grow, but would also like to see changes to some of the town’s infrastructure. “The town looks a bit depressed at the moment – it’s not really going very well at present”, he said.

Cr Craig Mitchell said he was pretty happy to be on and thanked the people who voted for him.

“I think local government is very important because it’s where you live and what you live in – it’s about community. I think it’s quite exciting”.

Council’s next meeting will be on September 24 when the mayor will be elected for the next 12 months. Cr Lynch will be nominating for mayor again this year.

Small Biz Connect – just replacing lost services?While the Member for Monaro,

John Barilaro, has welcomed the launch of Small Biz Connect, a new small business support program, the situation facing small businesses could be much better.

Former chairman of the now defunct Snowy Business Enterprise Centre (former BEC), Sid Downie, has expressed frustration with the loss of an existing service due to a lack of government funding and the establishment of a new, similar service, to replace it.

Mr Downie said “It’s encouraging to see that the

State Government has found a way to meet its pre-election promise to provide increased funds for the support of the NSW small business community, through its Small Biz Connect program announced last week. “It is, however, galling to reflect on the number of small businesses that might still exist in the region, had Steve Whan and Dr Mike Kelly possessed the foresight, and sufficient interest in the wellbeing of the Snowy-Monaro small business community, to continue to provide the relatively small amount of supportive

funding needed to keep the Snowy Enterprise Centre alive. “Fortunately, the SEC’s premises, the old drill hall in Bombala Street, having been saved from being returned to the Department of Defence and granted to Cooma-Monaro Council, will house a good community support initiative, being the tertiary learning centre sponsored by Snowy Hydro and Council. Mr Barilaro said Small Biz Connect will see more support for businesses in the Monaro region. “Under this program the number of business advisors serving

NSW will now triple, with 55 full time equivalent professional advisors across the state.” There will be one full time and three part time professional advisors based at Queanbeyan and they will travel to service the entire region. “Through Small Biz Connect, we will help small business operators to confidently take the next step, whether that is expanding their business, planning for retirement or simply ensuring their business is economically sustainable, Executive Officer at the Capital Region Business Enterprise

Centre,” Steve Jamieson, said. The advisory service is statewide and all businesses in NSW will be able to access professional help and develop local connections needed to survive and thrive. The program is part of the NSW Government’s 50 percent funding boost for small business programs, with $7.5 million now allocated to better support the sector.” If you run a small business and you would like to access support, contact Capital Region Business Enterprise Centre on 6297 3121 or email manager@crbec.com.au <mailto:manager@crbec.com.au>

Chicks with altitude on Australia’s roofWith a clear blue sky, brilliant spring sunshine, no wind and not a cloud in sight, some Chicks with Altitude (Jindabyne Branch Country Women’s Association members) had a Big Day Out on Australia’s roof top as a prelude to CWA Awareness Day on September 12. Boarding the oversnow vehicle at Perisher Valley, the seven women headed for the small, snowbound ski resort of Charlotte Pass situated 1837 metres above sea level, within walking distance of Mt Kosciuszko.

On reaching the resort, two of the party donned skis in order to enjoy the spring snow and the other members headed to the coffee bar for refreshments, before embarking on their snow shoe expedition, which had been pre-arranged with the Charlotte Pass Chalet Guest Services. The ladies were fitted out with snow shoes, ski poles and instructed on walking with snow shoes by their guide Lizzie. The group, which was enlarged to 11 participants by

several “locals” from Cooma and visitors from “away”, was then escorted to the Stilwell

chairlift which they rode to the top of Kangaroo Ridge, thus avoiding the uphill climb.

From the top station of the chairlift, the ladies beheld the magnificent and awesome panorama of Mt Kosciuszko and the snow clad mountains of the Snowy Mountains Main Range. Then it was time to follow Lizzie

through the virgin soft snow for the start of their five kilometre circuit - along the Ridge beside

gnarled snow gums and granite boulders covered in snow, with the peaks of Mt Lee, Townsend, Clark, Carruthers and Twynam rising above the ice covered Snowy River and Blue Lake on the left horizon, and the Chalet in the valley to the right.

At the half way point, there was a convenient snow bank

long enough for everyone to sit on with their legs out in front and snow shoes tails sticking

into the snow, whilst Lizzie produced lunch from her backpack.

From there the group proceeded in a northerly direction beside a ski trail towards the road which leads down to the Kosciuszko Chalet, where the group arrived two and a half hours after the tour began. Then it was time to brush the snow off the snow shoes, thank Lizzie for the great experience and head to the Chalet snow bar for a glass of wine or beer and relax in the afternoon sun whilst waiting for the return trip to Perisher Valley. The two skiers of the party, Carole Morris and Anna Turner, enjoyed a barbeque lunch, which was included as part of their package deal.

By general consensus, the Big Snow Shoe Day Out will become an annual fixture on the Jindabyne Branch calendar. If you can walk comfortably, you can snow shoe – it is a very social way in which to spend time with friends whilst enjoying the great outdoors.

Enjoying lunch on their snow shoe expedition above Charlotte Pass were “Chicks with Altitude” (Jindabyne CWA) Chrissi Webb, Christiana Kern,

Lorraine Phillips, Sheila Bollard and Dale Whitfield with Chalet guide Lizziein the foreground.

Stop the brumby cull - CochranPresident of the Snowy Mountains Bush Users Group Peter Cochran has challenged the continuation of Brumby culling in the Kosciuszko National Park claiming that further reduction in numbers will lead to an unsustainable number threatening extinction of a National icon.

“The NPWS have heavily culled numbers in the Park for several years since the devastating 2003 bushfires which

saw the death of at least a thousand Brumbies across the Park,” Mr Cochran said.

“Estimates are that NPWS culling, local captures and natural deaths have accounted for over 2500 Brumbies since the fires. If the current rate of culling continues the Australian high country Brumby faces extinction within five years.

“This is unacceptable to SMBUG and the general population. We are therefore calling on Minister Robyn Parker and the Premier to suspend all culling until a sustainable number can be established.”

Mr Cochran concluded by thanking Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner for his continued patronage of the Brumby Association.

Now that the Local Government Elections are over, the community of Cooma-Monaro Shire have nominated �ve returning and four new Councillors to plan and oversee the running of a complex community business at a time of great change in Local Government.

Sta� and senior management extend their sincere congratulations and best wishes to the elected Councillors who now have to take the reins to make further positive di�erences to the local community in this ever-changing environment.

The nine new Councillors are: Dean Lynch, Bronnie Taylor, Winston Phillips, Martin Hughes, Tony Kaltoum, Rogan Corbett, Angela Ingram, Ignazio Mondello and Craig Mitchell. To assist with these new challenges, the NSW Government has provided a not-to-be missed event to support new and returning Councillors with a program that not only addresses the key responsibilities of a Councillor, but addresses the fundamental tools needed to achieve positive community outcomes through civic leadership, planning and managing resources.

This special event will not only focus on engaging with the community in setting long term directions of Council but will ensure that money and other limited resources are used e�ectively through integrated Planning and Reporting processes with sta�. It will also address new tools and legislative protocols of delivering outcomes through appropriate conduct and ethical decision making. This workshop is the leading event to assist new and returning Councillors to hit the ground running in 2012 and beyond.

The intent of this special event is designed to assist all Councillors to develop and update their skills and knowledge and allow returning Councillors to share their experiences of how to be e�ective to meet the new changes being proposed for Local Government.

This special event workshop will be held at the Cooma Ex-Services Club on Thursday, 11 October 2012 at 9.30am. As booking is essential for this event, could all Councillors please advise my Executive Assistant, Lee Evans on 02 6455 1777 who will co-ordinate registrations and any special dietary requirements or special needs. This event is free of charge and is highly recommended as part of Councillor professional development.

All returning and new Councillors will be advised of further professional development that will be provided over the next few weeks.

COOMA LITTLE THEATRE PRESENTS

NIGHT of the LIVING DEAD

An original film based on George A Romero’s 1968

cult classic

COMING SOON

TO

COOMA LITTLE THEATRE

NSW Deputy Premier and Nationals Leader Andrew Stoner and Member for Monaro John Barilaro announced last Friday the full operation of cloud seeding in the Snowy Mountains, providing a welcome boost to the local economy and tourism.

Mr Stoner and Mr Barilaro made the announcement at Blue Cow in Perisher, where they were joined by Perisher CEO Peter Brulisauer and Snowy Hydro CEO Terry Charlton.

The announcement follows a trial cloud seeding program by Snowy Hydro since 2004 which demonstrated an average increase of 14 percent in snowfall in the region.

The NSW Government will soon introduce legislation to Parliament to allow ongoing cloud seeding to take place over the entire Snowy water catchment of 5,117 square kilometres.

“Ongoing cloud seeding is great news for tourism operators and communities in the Snowy Mountains,” Mr Stoner said. “Full operation of cloud seeding is expected to improve snow depth and the length of the ski season, making the area more attractive to tourists.

“While this year we’ve seen the best season in the Snowy Mountains for a long time, we want to give local business every chance of bumper seasons in years to come, particularly as we appear to be moving into another El Niño cycle which is associated with an increased probability of drier conditions.

“Maintaining good snowfall will enhance the significant contribution alpine recreation makes to the local and NSW economy, and provide a boost to the many businesses which rely on the ski season and tourism.”

Mr Barilaro said cloud seeding is a weather modification technique which involves the introduction of a seeding agent into suitable clouds to encourage the formation and growth of ice crystals or raindrops, enhancing the precipitation falling from the cloud.

“Cloud seeding will also result in more consistent energy

production and improved water security for irrigators and the environment,” said Mr Barilaro. “With the expansion of the operational area, there is potential to increase the amount of extra precipitation produced by more than 50 per cent than was produced through the trial area.

“This is a big win for the NSW ski fields and the whole Monaro region. “This will play a large role in fulfilling my commitment to make the NSW skifields number one again,” added Mr Barilaro.

The Natural Resources Commission, which has monitored the cloud seeding trial, found no evidence that cloud seeding operations have had any adverse environmental impacts or that the chemicals used have accumulated in soils, sediments, water or moss. The Government is committed to maintaining the high environmental integrity of the cloud seeding operations.

The forthcoming legislative changes include requirements for Snowy Hydro Limited to prepare and implement an Environmental Management Plan to be approved by the Government and regulatory oversight of cloud seeding operations by the Environmental Protection Agency.

operation of cloud seeding in the Snowy Mountains, watched by Perisher CEO Peter Brulisauer (left) and Member for Monaro John

Cloud seeding to boost snow economy

Emergency exercise important

More than 120 personnel took part in an emergency exercise in Cooma and Jindabyne last week.

Members of the Rural Fire Service, NSW Fire and Rescue, State Forestry, NPWS and Act Bushfire took part in the exercise which simulated the 2009 Michelago Fire.

The group also included Snowy River Shire at emergency headquarters in Jindabyne.

Regional Manager Ken Hall, said the exercise was to prepare personnel and assess the ability of the services to cope with a similar situation.

Significant attention was given to alerting the community to the situation, as well as ensuring due process was observed.

The exercise observed findings from the Royal Commission into the Victorian Bushfires.

Emergency service reportA 15-year-old Cooma boy shone

a green laser at a police car at about 7pm on Saturday evening on Mittagang Road. The laser was confiscated.

At 4.15pm on Tuesday north of Middlingbank Road a 22-year-old male from the ACT who had spent the day at the snow fell asleep at the wheel. He veered into the path of an oncoming 4WD vehicle being driven by a Cooma woman, who took evasive action. The vehicles still collided and both had to be towed from the scene. Luckily nobody was injured. The ACT driver was charged and issued an infringement notice for negligent driving.

Police have issued a request that if you are tired pull over, stop revive survive.

At about 8am on Monday S e p t e m b e r 17, a vehicle rolled on the Monaro H i g h w a y near Rock Flat Creek. There were no injuries and the vehicle was towed.

On Monday S e p t e m b e r 10 in the early hours of the morning police pulled over a 21-year-old male due to the manner in which he was driving. He was breath tested and

returned a high range reading. His licence was suspended and he will face court at a later date.

The RFS had a busy weekend fending off escaped private landowner burn offs. All three shires, Cooma Monaro, Snowy River and Bombala had numerous fires to deal with.

The RFS is requesting people to be cautious due to the current dry conditions and large amounts of dry grass growth. Take all precautions before you light the fire. Make sure there are adequate firebreaks in place, suitable fire fighting equipment and that you are experienced in using it. Also notify your neighbours and your local RFS and monitor the weather.

Guitarist Annaka Dykstra is the 2012 Jindy Idol.

Before a packed Jindabyne Memorial Hall on Saturday evening, September 15, MC Peter Hasting introduced 13 competitors for the title of Jindy Idol.

All the artists performed with great aplomb and the bravest of all was eight year old Kesha Oayda with her unaccompanied vocal rendition of “Molloy Malone”.

Tim Draxl concluded the artistic entertainment with a special vocal performance of “Everything Happens to Me” accompanied by movements about the stage without detracting from the lyrics.

The judging panel comprising Jindabyne’s international star, the versatile actor and singer Tim Draxl, movie director Stephen Elliott (Priscilla Queen of the Desert) and dancer and instructor teacher Debbie Franco, judged Annaka the winner of the competition, with vocalist Darren Henshaw winning the “People’s Choice” category. Flautist Matthew Ventura received a Special Encouragement Award.

Other awards went to eight year old vocalist Kesha Oayda and vocalist and guitarist Zoe Castles. A small gift was received by every other performer.

The “Jindy Idol” performing arts competition was summed up as a “wonderful event which

gives the rising stars of the community an opportunity to perform on the stage before a large audience and excellent judges who provided a broad range of encouraging and constructive commentary.

The kids come to be educated in Jindabyne and end up with the added benefit of becoming polished performers.”

The evening was held to raise funds for the Tim Draxl Performing Arts Scholarship which supports young people from 10 – 18 years from the Snowy River Shire, who wish to undertake advanced study in the performing arts.

In just two years, the fund has passed more than $6000 to five talented young people from the region. Applications are now being accepted for the Tim Draxl Performing Arts 2013 Scholarship.

Response to letter

Response to Norton’s letter

Editor,The ANU Rural Clinical School

wishes to thank the Monaro Community members and organisations who have given their time and expertise recently, when 22 ANU Medical Students visited for a week to experience medical practice in a rural setting.

Some welcomed the students into their homes, others showed the students their workplaces and practices while others contributed in many other ways to make this Rural Week 2 the best yet.

The Community’s support is very much appreciated not only by the organisers, but by the students themselves.

Comments from the students were very positive and note the friendly, warm and generous welcome they received.

Rural Week is held twice each year – March/April for Year One

students and in August for Year 2. We greatly appreciate the effort

and enthusiasm of the Cooma community and look forward to your continuing support in 2013.

Thank you to everyone for making the Rural Week Programs so successful. From the feedback we have received, we anticipate that your contributions will materially assist in attracting some of these students to the option of rural practice in the years to come.

Editor,In response to Roger Norton’s ‘ad

hominem abusive’ approach.I recall having read the recent

(almost three months ago) letter Roger Norton is commenting on and have just read it again.

I find it fascinating that Mr Norton, himself a councillor of many years, did not dispute any of the observations Glynn Kay made about the negative stare of our council, except to say that Mr Kay got his ABS figures wrong followed by a lame attempt to discredit Mr Kay for a resignation which he (Mr Norton) appeared to have contributed to.

I have lived in Cooma all my life and during the Snowy days the population of Cooma was above 14,000 because of all the workers coming into Cooma.

While we are on the subject of wasting money, perhaps Mr Norton (who was a councillor at the time) can explain how the $2 million lost by council’s high risk investment in Rembrandt could have been better spent?

Steve O’Donnell Cooma

Editor,The Snowy Scheme had over

100,000 temporary workers. Cooma’s actual population peaked in the early 1960’s during the Tumut/Eucumbene development era. Temporary residents were not included in local ABS figures.

In 2001, I came to the aid of a ratepayer regarding a weed control notice which resulted in a court case which Council lost. I later resigned because I had no support on this issue from any other councillors.

As a consequence of the court case and my actions, councils weed control program was halted for five years. The weeds committee was in abeyance for two and a half years.

In 2005 the Noxious Weed Act Amendment bill prevented Council’s previous weeds enforcement policy from imposing hardship on rural landowners.

The benefits to the community from these changes far outweighed the costs incurred in the By-election.

In contrast, there has been no recovery to date of the $2 million losses incurred from Council’s speculations on the investment market ie The collapsed Amro Rembrandt investment and subsequent lawyers fees.

Glynn Kay Cooma

the postman calls

Who would have thunk it?

A funny little caricaturist chappie turns up in the Snowy Mountains and four years later,

voila, there’s a flash new book featuring lots of locals.

Mick Joffe has battled illness, distance and other obstacles but his latest book, launched

on Sunday, was certainly worth the wait.

Well done, Mick and well done to all the locals who helped him record some of our most

valuable history – our people.

One character, former Snowy River Shire mayor, Richard Wallace explained that he had

been Joffed “and it wasn’t very pleasant”. ‘Normie’ is character number 146 in the book

Luckily, The Postman was far too young to have been ‘Joffed’ on this occasion.

Now our local elections have been finalised, The Postman is looking forward to seeing

how the new and the old faces meld together to serve their respective communities.

We are lucky that in this neck of the woods, we don’t have political candidates muddying

the water.

So the bets are, odds-on favourites for the mayoral positions, Bob Stewart in Bombala

and Dean Lynch in Cooma-Monaro.

This will be decided in the next couple of weeks.

Now here’s a serious question:

With rioters creating mayhem in Sydney over the weekend, The Postman hopes that ASIO

or its agents are paying close attention to all footage and determining who the culprits

were.

If those culprits should prove to be people who have been grated asylum in Australia, will the government have the gumption to deport

them? As in, immeditately? We’ll see…

Jenny White of Hook’s Pharmacy has donated $300 towards the Yallambee Lodge Men’s Shed project. This brings the total of money raised so far to $2800. Tickets for the raffle are available now at Yallambee and will also be sold down town by staff and volunteers for $2.00 each. A big thank you to local businesses for their kind donations.

Council would like to remind residents within the Shire that the storage of materials in laneways and reserves is not permitted without approval from Council. Likewise dumping of material is not permitted and people doing this may be fined.

Council endeavours to mow verges, reserves and open space areas within the Shire through a works program, however, often find that residents are using these areas to store cars, household items or rubbish. This makes it difficult for Council workers to complete all the mowing of these areas.

A program is currently being developed to ensure that work crews can access these laneways and reserves.

All residents are therefore requested to remove any items they may have located on Council land and relocate them within the boundaries of their property.

Innovative fitness machine now in CoomaMany of you will be familiar with the various models of fitness equipment available but something you may not be too familiar with is the Whole Body Vibration (WBV) machine, as it’s generally not a standard item of exercise equipment to be found around the home or in the gym.

The concept itself is not new, having been around for over 100 years, but the more modern version was explored and developed in Russia during the 1970s as a means of countering the affects of space travel, mainly bone and muscle degeneration, in their cosmonauts.

It was found that WBV treatment worked very well and soon Russian athletics trainers viewed the technology as having sound potential for their athletes and found that using a WBV machine gave their athletes a competitive edge over those outside of the Eastern Bloc countries.

It soon became a regular part of their training as a result and is also in regular use by the Russian Ballet troupe.

Such a machine can now be utilised in Cooma, thanks to the foresight of Amelia Lucas, who has 39 years in practice as a physiotherapist behind her and who is

very pleased to bring the WBV treatment to Cooma.

WBV works by stimulating the muscles in a way that traditional exercise routines

cannot, applying stimulation to 100 percent of the muscles as opposed to the 80 percent achieved through normal routines.

It is especially useful for older people.“There are a lot of older people in

Cooma” Ms Lucas said “and they are at risk. WBV can be very good for them though as it improves strength, balance and reduces the risk of falls, which can be so debilitating.”

Ms Lucas offers a more personalised consultation.

The initial visit is an assessment, which allows her to work out an individual program that will suit what the consultant wants to achieve, after which the person can then implement the program unsupervised.

“Programs can be configured to work on specified medical issues that have been identified by their medical practitioner.” Ms Lucas added.

The technology offers a lot of health benefits and has been found to be successful in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain, osteoporosis, stress incontinence, poor balance, muscular weakness and reduction of pain and muscles spasms and Ms Lucas is looking forward to seeing the benefits of Whole Body Vibration technology throughout the Cooma-Monaro region.

Brain Health: making the connections in Dementia Awareness WeekAustralians are being encouraged to

make sure they look after their brain health by leading a ‘brain healthy’ lifestyle during Dementia Awareness Week,

which this year is from September 21-28.The Hon. John Watkins, CEO of

Alzheimer’s Australia NSW, said research suggests that eating well

and being physically active, maintaining an active social life and keeping mentally stimulated are some of the best things you can do to try to reduce your risk of developing dementia.

“Looking after your heart, keeping a healthy blood pressure level and getting regular health

checks are all great ways to monitor your brain heart health,” Mr Watkins said.

“Already there are an estimated 95,000 people living with dementia in NSW. As our population ages that number is set to skyrocket 50 percent by 2020. The time to act is now.”

In the Monaro state electorates there are an estimated 771 people living with dementia. That is expected to soar to 3214 people by 2050.

While there is, as yet, no cure, scientific research shows it may be possible to

reduce your risk of developing dementia, or delay the onset by taking action in your 30s, 40s and 50s.

To coincide with Dementia Awareness Week, Alzheimer’s Australia NSW is organising for a display of books and brochures at the Monaro Regional Library Cooma.

Verity Jackson Dementia Advisor will be at the library on Wednesday September 26th from 12.00-1.30pm to answer any questions.

The Dementia Carers Coffee and Chat Support group will also be meeting for a special lunch during Dementia Awareness Week.

If you want more information about the support group or the services Alzheimers Australia NSW provides please contact Verity Jackson on 6452 3961

Dementia Awareness Week 2012 runs from Friday September 21 to Friday September 28.

World Alzheimer’s Day is on Friday September 21.

Dementia Awareness Week 2012 is supported by Ageing, Disability and Home Care, Department of Family and Community Services NSW and the Australian Government.

Alzheimer’s Australia NSW is the charity for people with dementia and their families and carers. As the peak body, it provides advocacy, support services, education and information.

Almost 280,000 people have dementia in Australia.

This number is projected to double by 2030.

Thanks to the generosity of the members of the Cooma Craft Group, those under the wing of the Cooma Challenge Aged and Respite Care Service can now enjoy listening to their favourite melodies via a brand new portable stereo system, purchased with funds raised by the Craft Group via their raffles as well as takings at their stalls at the Cooma Markets.

“We donate all the money we raise to local charities.” said Craft Group President, Margaret Williams.

The Cooma Challenge Aged and Respite Care Service is a non-profit organisation that offers people another option when it comes to aged care, as well as offering much needed support to people and families who are caring for an aged family member at home. The Service relies on funding so it can continue its vital work throughout the Cooma-Monaro region.

“Aged care needs are growing’” the Service’s co-ordinator, Ruth Dakin, said “so it’s great that we are now receiving the funds we

need to provide that care for people in and around the region.”

Cooma Craft Group President, Margaret Williams and Treasurer Jenny Brown along with members of the Craft group recognised the advantage to the Cooma Challenge Aged and Respite Care Service of a portable music system and, following the purchase, presented the new stereo which was very gratefully received by Ms Dakin at the Old Hall at Cooma Public School last Tuesday afternoon.

Adaminaby CWA Branch is far from hibernating in winter - they are active in planning activities for the warmer months. The members have decided that they will start a campaign to get the Bobeyan Road fixed properly. This much maligned and maltreated stretch of road and its off-shoots is vital to the people of Adaminaby. Did you know that it is 80km shorter to Canberra that way? It covers two States and Territories (NSW and ACT) and two Councils (Snowy River and Cooma-Monaro. There has been funding from various sources over the years to work on the road which has been used for other purposes. The bridge over the Murrumbidgee is now restricted to 11 tonnes which means that Miners Stock Transport has a two hour trip to pick up or deliver to Bolaro on both sides of it–a distance of about 1.5km. Improving the road would open up Adaminaby and surrounds to more permanent residents who could commute to Canberra for work and live more cheaply here. Of course more residents in Adaminaby

would have spin-offs for Cooma and its shops, schools, sporting teams etc. The Adaminaby CWA will be involving the Canberra Branches to assist from their end to have 1km a year tarred and properly finished at either end.

The Branch has also decided to sponsor the Young Entrepreneurs at next year’s Easter Fair. This is for young people aged 17 and under who wish to have a stall selling their goods at Easter. The idea was inspired by Gene Bennetts who marketed bags of sheep manure at the last Easter Fair. It is being done to assist young people who have a business idea to test the waters at the Fair. There are some rules for the participants – they must be junior members of the CWA, supply their own tables etc., are limited to a 3m square site in the area between the CWA and the School of Arts, register their interest at least one month before the Fair and comply with whatever regulations cover their stall. For more information you can call Judy on 6454 1624 at night.

Snowy Café in Adaminaby has the CWA Recipe Books for sale,

on behalf of the Branch, including the new Jam Drops and Marble Cakes which has the recipes from the Land Cookery competitions.

Of course there is planning for our popular Quilt Show and Garden Competition going ahead as well. The Quilt Show is at the end of September on the Labour Day Weekend and is a showcase of the talents of quilters of all levels.

Increasingly popular is the general class for other items. For more information or a brochure ring Lyn on 6454 1530 or 0413 097 244 or go to our website www.quiltshow.com.au

The Garden Competition is a lot of fun. It does not cost anything to enter and brochures and entry forms will be available at the end of September. It is judged in the first week of December to allow our gardens to get over winter or a harsh spring.

We also have podiatrist, Alison Mitchell, coming to our rooms on the first Thursday of each month to provide services to members of the community who need them. Alison can be contacted directly on

0425 894 499. If you need any further

information on any of this ring Judy on 6454 1624 or 0447 475 879 or Lyn on 6454 1530.Honorary Members

We take great pleasure in announcing that Ms Sam Armytage and Mrs Carmel Griffin-Warwicke have been offered and accepted Honorary Membership of our Branch.

Earlier this year in preparation for ANZAC day, the students in years five and six at the local schools around Cooma all wrote an essay titled ‘Australia my country’. The essays were then judged by local members of the RSL and the winner announced on ANZAC

Day at the ceremony in Cooma.

St Patrick’s parish school did exceptionally well, with Madison Ward taking out first place. Six other St Patrick’s students also did very well in the competition and were all awarded framed certificates for their efforts.

IT’S STACKEDOUR WAY

Students have been busy at St Patrick’s during term threeSix teams

participated in the Tournament of Minds competition at the ACT regional competition on Sunday September 2. A group of students from the high school won the Secondary division of the Applied Technology challenge and will progress to the territory finals on September 16. Their challenge was to trace the development of a particular form of modern technology (they chose the calculator) a n d then

to present their findings as a ten minute play. Teams had six weeks to solve their major challenge with no outside assistance, and they also had another short challenge on tournament day. All groups developed their creativity, problem-solving skills and teamwork over the course of the competition.

Debating has been a prominent part of St Patrick’s extra curricula activities

over many years with many students putting their debating skills to great use when they leave school. Year 8 debaters were runners up in the ACT Debating Union’s competition for schools this year after debating many challenging topics over nine rounds.

Many lunchtimes of preparation paid off for the St Patrick’s Primary Choir when they were announced

as winners of the inaugural Archdiocesan Primary Schools’ Choir Festival in Canberra recently. Catholic schools from southern NSW and the ACT presented two songs each in the Merici College auditorium in front of a panel of very experienced choral judges and the students were thrilled with their success.

Students in both

Primary and Secondary classes have been fortunate to have poet and performer Harry Laing working with them over the past two years. He has inspired and motivated students to enjoy writing and to develop confidence in expressing themselves. This year Harry has also worked closely with the Year 9 and 10 Drama classes to develop their performance skills.

Tulip Top Gardens tourFor a great day out admiring all the spring flowers in the beautiful spring weather, why not join the Monaro Group CWA ladies and travel to Tulip Top gardens on Tuesday October 9.

This coach trip is a fundraiser for the Monaro Group CWA.

The garden of magnificent tulips and annuals creates a spectacular display amongst the 1000 blossoms.

Featured in the hidden valley is a spectacular tiered waterfall and watercourse. Rosemary Hill lookout captures the magic, overlooking the gardens from the 70 metre high viewing area.

There is a plant nursery in the entrance marquee where colourful potted plants and bulbs are available for purchase.

Refreshments are available daily. There is free sausage sandwiches or free barbecue egg sandwiches

served with free tea and coffee between 11.30am and 1.30pm.

Enjoy morning/afternoon tea and Dutch pancakes in the garden marquee or take advantage of tables and chairs under the flowering trees.

Cost for this great day out is just $30, which includes entry into the gardens. The Cooma Coaches coach will leave from the car park behind the Cooma library at approximately 8.30am, returning close to 5pm.

We will also pick up passengers en-route to Canberra.

For bookings and further information please contact the president of the Cooma CWA branch, Barbara Scanes on 6452 3010 and come along and enjoy a great day out.

Top Pianist performs

Did you see students running around Cooma on Tuesday in colourful shirts, chances are they were competing in the inaugural Youth Connections Amazing Race.

Nine year ten students from Bombala High school came to Cooma to take part in the event.

A community partnership by local youth workers and business’ partnered to make the idea a reality. The stakeholders included Catholic Care-Youth Connections worker Karen Lonergan, Snowy Hydro, Roses Restaurant, Workways, Mainstreet, Centrelink, Mack’s Auto, Capital Region BEC Partnership Broker Debbie Thomas as well as the students from Bombala High School.

These stakeholders not only contributed resources and time throughout the day but had been involved every step of the way through the planning stages.

The aim of the day was to take the students out of their comfort zone with an emphasis on teamwork, communication, confidence, opportunity awareness and resilience building.

The day started at Nanny Goat Hill where the students were given survival packs divided into teams and appointed a team leader to help them throughout the day.

The first clue read… Water is my best friend, I house big red engines, I am noisy when the heat is on. By deciphering this cryptic clue they charged to the fire station. There they were met with a road block, after completing a task the next clue ‘I have views of many continents. I sit between the Elderly and someone who likes to play in an office, Fresh food people are sitting at my rear, My name smells on Valentine’s Day.

This clue lead them to Roses Restaurant, Tony Nassar and his friendly staff showed the students how to set a table, the nine students then had a challenge

to prepare their own food and set a table for four. Again the teams were given clues that they had to

decipher and make their way to the next challenge. One group went to Mack’s Auto where Richard Mack had them assemble a small crane system.

This was a challenge in itself but some of the boys found this task relevant to the work they do at home or on the family property.

Another group deciphered their clue, ‘Our name is the same as the street we are on. We can make you look good. Our favourite colours are red/white/black. We look at the flag poles from our window. This challenge took place at Mainstreet where they had a task to dress a mannequin in clothing appropriate for a job interview.

At Workways, manager Amanda Steinke set them tasks to undertake job search activities, and at Centrelink they got hands on view of job seeker requirements.

They had different challenges and clues throughout the day to eventually end up at the Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre where Damian and staff treated the students to a great lunch and Tracy Crowe gave them some insight into employment opportunities with Snowy Hydro.

Karen then awarded the students various prizes for their challenges as well as certificates of completing the race. A perpetual trophy was awarded to the Blue team who named themselves ‘Slippery Gypsies’.

Coordinator of the day Karen Lonergan said, ‘The Youth Connections Amazing Race was a pilot program, but due to its success we feel we have the scope to offer it to different schools and has the potential for it to evolve further. We were fortunate to have the support of local businesses, local service providers as well as Bombala high school’.

The Amazing race

Snowy Monaro Arts Council is proud to be hosting a visit by Nikolay Khozyainov - this year’s winner

of the People’s Choice Award at the Sydney International Piano Competition. Nikolay was born in Blagoveshchensk,

Russia and is studying at the Pyotr Tchaikovsky Moscow Conservatory under

professor Mikhail Voskresensky. He performed at St Paul’s Hall last

Sunday.

Financial StructureWhen it comes down to Property Investment it is all about the numbers, but the financial structure is crucial to get right.Why? The correct structure  will  protect  your  family  home from  risk.  It  will  allow  you  to  duplicate sooner  and  use  the  banks  money  not your own to build you wealth.So  how  does  an  actual  structure  look, below  I  have  provided  an  example  of buying a new property in a location that is forecasted to have $60,000 growth for the next 6 years.Property  Value  $450,000  Rent  Return $600p/wLoan Value Ratio (LVR) 95/5 This means 5% deposit from the equity in your home and a new loan 95% for the investment property, importantly with the investment property  being  security  for  the  loan,  to protect your home.Deposit  plus  costs  (stamp  duty  on  land only,  solicitor,  bank  fees  and  interest during  construction  approx.  $32,500. The  investor  would  transfer  this  equity from their house to the investment prop-erty, to now have two growth assets.Some  people  are  scared  to  use  their equity to build their wealth, but it is how the rich get richer and by not using it, it is like burying a bag of cash in your back yard.The  loan  for  the  investment  property  at 95% plus Lenders Mortgage Insurance is approx. $433,500 interest only.At  6%  interest  rate  that  equates  to $26,010.00  per  annum,  so  what  other costs  are  involved.  Property  Manage-ment, Insurance and water/rates approx. $100  per  week  total  costs  to  hold  the property approx. $31, 210.00.Now rent is $600 per week x 52 weeks equals $31,200. So before Tax the prop-erty is basically costing nothing to have, not  bad  when  it  is  forecast  to  return $60,000 per annum.Now when we take tax into account and you  complete  a  Tax  Withholding  Varia-tion Form with your accountant or just on the ATO website and lodge it with your employer, you receive the tax benefits in your weekly pay rather than the end of the year. Due to the property having such good  rental  return,  the  tax  benefit  is really  only  the  depreciation  of  approx. $5500 per year if you divide that by 52 weeks and youʼre basically now got an additional  $100  per  week  to  your  take home budget per week. Or to put onto your family home loan.So this really is a no brainer you increase your  income  whilst  owning  an  exponen-tial growth asset.To discover what your personal finan-cial structure would look like please do not hesitate to contact me on 0430 096 823.Have a great day!Peter Ingram

Tell them how good a job you can do!

Riposteby Lisa Ahurst

The last of the brood moved out last week. Feels a bit strange after 22 years of having the kids around the house but he is the last of them to move on and suddenly I only have myself to look out for.

It’s been coming for a while now and he’s been on the hunt for new digs as he is well and truly ready for some independence and that is a good thing. He needs the experience. His sister managed it when she started uni and if he ends up at the same institution he’ll have to make that move to the ACT like she did so I’m looking on this current move as a lead-up to that next one and hey, practice makes perfect!

All the same, I didn’t make a big song and dance about announcing that he was moving out but those who knew inevitably proclaimed “Gosh! You won’t know what to do with yourself!” Huh? They are kidding me, right? I have been planning what I would do when the kids all moved on for a little while now and can even remember dancing fleetingly with the fantasy when the three of them would have me run ragged, but suddenly here it is and while I admit it will feel a bit strange at first. It’s going to become a real novelty that I just may not get over in a hurry.

I will be able to hog the bathroom, the TV remote, the computer, the

contents of the fridge and cupboards and on my days off I won’t have to wake up at 6.30am because there will no longer be a kid that needs to get up and catch the bus! Yes, yes, yes, he did have an alarm but he also had a tendency to ignore it and of course, me being The Mother.... Anyway, this last advantage is looking really attractive and will mean I can lie in bed until 7.30am at least, even as late as 8am if I want to really indulge myself.

Also, I will never have to put up with another repeat of a repeat of a repeat of The Simpson’s or have to deal with bike and skateboard parts littering the coffee table!

Not that this means he was messy, or a sloth around the house or anything. Twin II is actually extremely neat and quite useful because he’s pretty handy with fixing things and is happy to do so, is great for scoffing up any leftovers, is nice to chooks and cats, willingly mows lawns and trims edges and generally pulls his weight around the place. Yes, I’m going to miss all that but I will never miss those Simpson’s episodes so it will level out even in the end if you think about it. I will probably be really fit as well.

But to get back to it, we moved the last of his stuff (well, the stuff he wanted to take with him anyway) last week and he’s happy and well and all is rosy.

Now I just have to stop worrying my socks off….!

Colinton community group granted supportNRMA Insurance has announced Colinton Rural Fire Brigade as the recipient of a 2012 Community Grant, providing the local organisation with funding to the value of $4,950 for an emergency readiness and response initiative. The Colinton Rural Fire Brigade is a small but active rural brigade whose area is bisected by the Monaro Highway, scene of frequent motor accidents, often in winter and at night. The grant will enable them to purchase a portable light tower which will radically improve the efficiency of responding officers as well as adding to their safety and the safety of those they are helping. Megan Lupton, NRMA Insurance Community and Sustainability Manager, said the Community Grants program has been helping community groups build safer communities for the last 10 years. “This year we had a fantastic response from community groups who have put a lot of thought into how to help their local communities. Colinton Rural Fire Brigade is one of this year’s recipients and we look

forward to seeing their project in place. “We are proud to support organisations that make communities like Colinton safer,” said Ms. Lupton. This year across New South Wales, 60 groups received Community Grants, with NRMA Insurance investing around $396,000 into local initiatives. Since the program’s inception in 2003, there have been approximately 1,300 recipients nationally totalling more than $5.3 million. The Community Grants program supports local organisations working to make our communities safer. Community organisations can apply to receive funding for projects working in the areas of road safety, crime prevention, emergency readiness and response or environmental initiatives. More information about the Community Grants program is available by calling into the Cooma Service Centre NRMA Insurance office or by visiting www.nrma.com.au/grants

Serrated Tussock and African Lovegrass local impactGrassy, perennial weeds like Serrated Tussock and African Lovegrass are the scourge of the Monaro. They rapidly invade native and introduced pastures and significantly impact on the environment and agricultural productivity.

Furthermore, dense infestations of African Lovegrass pose a significant fire risk and if not managed effectively can endanger life and property as a result of grass fire.

Serrated Tussock and African Lovegrass will produce viable seeds by November/December each year, with Serrated Tussock typically seeding from as early as late October in some areas. Both are declared noxious weeds and must be effectively controlled prior to seeding*. Help yourself and your neighbour and avoid costly legal action by ensuring that these weeds are controlled NOW.

* Note: Legislative provisions have allowed for the relaxation of control requirements for African Lovegrass within the Cooma-Canberra corridor.

A couple of handy tips: If controlling Serrated Tussock and African

Lovegrass by chemical application first consider timing, whether the plant is actively growing and whether chemical application is likely to impact on any off-target organisms. Two chemical options are commonly used for controlling Serrated Tussock and African Lovegrass, each with very different properties.

Fluproponate is available either in granular or liquid

form and is typically sold as Taskforce, Kennock, Scuffle or GP Fluproponate. Because Fluproponate takes several months to kill the plant, if used alone it will not prevent Serrated Tussock from seeding when used this late in the season.

Glyphosate is sold under a large range of trade names, though is most commonly and historically known as Roundup.

Glyphosate provides a quick kill when plants are actively growing, though will provide varied results if plants are stressed or not actively growing. African Lovegrass during early spring is typically in winter dormancy and will not be effectively controlled using Glyphosate alone.

From late spring through to autumn Glyphosate alone can generally provide effective control, or if the plants appear stressed a Glyphosate/Fluproponate mix is likely to provide the best results. Some Glyphosate products have been developed for use in aquatic situations. These products are specifically formulated with built-in ‘aquatically approved’ surfactants and should be used where infestations are situated in aquatic or other sensitive environmental areas.

Prior to using any chemical always read and understand the label and ensure that you have obtained the appropriate experience, skills and accreditation. For more information, contact your local Council weeds officer or agronomist.

Landcare is education and working togetherThe importance of Landcare groups in bringing people and ideas together and the opportunity to work as a community is the inspiration for Heidi Reid, the newly elected Chair of the Berridale Rocky Plain Landcare Group.

Her election occurred at the recent barbecue and planning meeting held by the Landcare group to plan their agenda for the next few years following the successful completion of a number of projects and field days.

With the good attendance of members from the Landcare group came a great diversity of ideas about the future role of the Landcare group. Land management issues raised by the group members ranged from grazing management, feral animal management, erosion and maintaining biodiversity, including the issue of the eucalypt dieback in the Berridale area. ,

Heidi, who has recently returned to work on “Yarrabin”, the sheep and cattle property of her parents Phillip and Robyn Reid, sees her future on the Monaro as “an obvious fit” with the work of the Landcare group. “The success of agriculture depends on our ability to work as a community

to address issues such as weed control, drought proofing our properties and general soil health, soil erosion, pasture management and water management” she said.

The motivation to take on the landcare role is based on her aspirations to manage the farm, including the native and introduced pasture species, to achieve the greatest productivity for sheep and cattle production but also to address the problems of the land so she can leave their property in a better shape.

“Landcare helps me in two ways”, said Heidi. “Firstly, it provides funding for projects on our land that creates a win for our farming venture as well as the environment. Secondly it brings together a diverse bunch of locals, including farmers, town people and those living on small blocks, which let us tackle all of these problems together as a community”, she said.

If you want more information about the Berridale Rocky Plain Landcare group you can contact the Secretary Harry Bentley or online at www.uppersnowylandcare.org.auPictured, Harry Bentley, Heidi Reid and Phil Daley.

Travelling stock reserves available for grazing

Spring is the perfect time for stock owners to tap into some of the state’s 600,000 hectares of travelling stock reserves (TSRs) managed by the Livestock Health and Pest Authorities (LHPAs).

The TSR network was established to facilitate stock movements around the state. It is also a key grazing resource for stock owners through droughts but can also be utilised to assist with management of pastures. Spelling paddocks can be very beneficial when spring growth is slow due to a drier than normal end to winter.

The grazing of stock on TSRs also assists LHPA with managing potential fire risks presented by the previous good seasons.

LHPAs have short term grazing permits available for a variety of fenced and unfenced TSRs within their district. Stock owners are encouraged to contact their local LHPA to discuss the

options available.Those stock owners with longer

term annual permits, known as Annual Grazing Permits (AGPs), are reminded of their responsibility to control weeds on the TSR under their permit conditions. Now is the time to ensure that sufficient preparation has been made to keep noxious weeds at bay. Short term permit holders are not responsible for weed control.

LHPAs wish to remind people that dumping rubbish, riding motorbikes and shooting or hunting on TSRs is illegal and those found participating in these activities will be fined. The majority of these activities occur on weekends and witnesses of these activities are encouraged to take down details and report them to their local LHPA office.

To apply for a short term grazing permit or for more information about TSRs, please contact your local LHPA.

Cooma ladies golfQuite a large field played in the various competitions last Wednesday. In the 18 hole CS Vets event Marilynne Weston was the winner with 75 net.

Accurate fairway play and great golf on the par 3s enabled Marilynne to have a consistent game and finish up with her pleasing result.

Gaye Wilson was the runner-up with a sound 76 net.

A ball was won by Denise Ashcroft with 80 net.

Dulcie Thistleton won the putting with 32 putts.

In the 9 hole stableford Clare Nowland was the winner with 20 points.

Her par on the fourth hole was a feature. Balls were won by Joan Bracher with a solid 18 points and Maureen Fletcher, 16 points.

Our travelling golfers played in the Ladies Open at Bermagui.

The team of Lorraine McGregor and Gaye Wilson played good golf to record a score of 37 points in the 2BBB on the Saturday.

Whilst not a winning score (44 points), they were pleased with their effort.

Unfortunately, that form was not carried over to the stroke event on Sunday.

Gaye Wilson did, however, have the longest drive in Div 2.

The Open was won by Jana Welsford of Pambula/Merimbula with 78 gross.

We wish to thank Bermagui for their welcoming and hospitality.

Coming up: Wed, 19th - 18 hole stableford; Sat, 22nd – 9 hole stroke Rd 1 President’s Trophy; Sun, 23rd – 9 hole stableford.

Fillies undefeated premiers for 2012

Colts win both grand finals

The Cooma Fillies have successfully taken out the 2012 Group 16 Leaguetag Premiership, beating the Bega Chicks 4-0 in their lowest scoring game of the season, and maintaining their undefeated record for the season.

In warm conditions, the Fillies fitness was always going to be tested against strong competitors in Bega.

Bega had done a great job to make it to the grand final in their first season in the leaguetag, but buoyed by former Narooma player, Trudi Badullovich, they were eager to give the Fillies a run for their money in the final game of the season.

The game started in feisty conditions with both teams determined to make their mark on the game early.

Strong defensive efforts from Karlee Pateman and Kirrily Carberry coupled with the dominant attacking efforts of Meg Bracher, Abby Schofield and Kate Schofield gained good field position.

Back to back sets on the Bega line gave the Fillies

opportunities to find space out wide, with Maree Ingram setting Kate Schofield up for the opening, and only, try of the game.

What followed really was a game of defensive efforts. Line breaks from Alana Nichols and Monique Ingram continued the Fillies’ ascendancy while Alicia Clarke and Maree Ingram’s dominant kicking game continued to keep the ball moving.

Patrice Ingram was instrumental in keeping the Chicks at bay, supported by Zoe Lynch and Georgie Clarke in their back-to-back tagging efforts. Anna Steel and Tracy Frazer nullified Bega’s short kicking game with their second line of defence, while Kristy Nichols and Sammy-Jo Suitor maintained their defensive efforts under pressure while Sandy Schofield and Penny Carroll supported well and kept spirits high.

After the final 50 minutes of the season, the score remained 4-0 in favour of the Fillies, and the girls from the mountains

deservedly reigned victorious. Captain Alicia Clarke was

gracious in her acceptance speech, and Player of the Match, Maree Ingram, gaining deserved recognition for her efforts.

The Fillies would like to thank their coach, Craig Schofield, without whom the team would

never have been formed and been so successful.

They would similarly like to thank their sponsors, Mainstreet Clothing, Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy and Brian Geach Electrical for their ongoing support, and finally, their supporters, particularly those who travelled to watch the game

on Sunday.The Cooma Stallions

presentation night is on this Friday October 21 at 6.30pm at the Cooma Ex-Services Club, with tickets available from Boller & Co. Congratulations Girls!

The Fillies winning smiles on Sunday.

South EaSt EmbroidEry u12

The South East Embroidery Under 12s made a nervous trip to Canberra’s Bruce Stadium on Saturday September 15 to play Queanbeyan in the Grand Final.

The boys made a great start to the game with Luke Day making a brilliant strong run.

With constant pressure and two good kicks into the

in goal from Lachlan Inskip, it gave the boys two repeat sets of six, giving Bill Zammit the chance to dive over

the try line and score the first try.

Lachlan Inskip just missed the conversion hitting the uprights.

Dylan Elton, Jarrod Jeszczenko and Andrew Pearce all made fantastic tackles throughout the game. Queanbeyan scored next making the score 4-4.

Lachlan Jones was lucky to get the ball and dive over the try line from dummy half

with James Cahill converting the kick.

Jack Reid again showed his potential after taking on the opposition making

many try saving tackles.

Cooper Swan made a big difference to the team with his skill. Bill Zammit again found the try line, but was unfortunate to miss his kick. Lachlan Jones made a brilliant try saving tackle right on half time leaving the score 14-4.

Lachlan Inskip came out running around the opposition to score his first try in the corner

with Thomas Hain converting.

Josh Dwyer-Gersak and James Hayden showed great defence throughout the game.

A good strong run from James Cahill helped him score near the goal post and Lachlan Jones converting his kick. Bill Zammit again found the try line with Remy Oldrey converting.

An amazing run form Remy Oldrey, after a great offload from Luke Day, saw Remy score the next try and Tim Bottom converted.

After a dummy and step from Lachlan

Inskip, he ran 50 metres scored right on the full time hooter and Jarrod Jeszczenko converted leaving the boys the winners for

the 2012 grand final with the score being 42-4.

The boys celebrated their great win, showing on the day great skills, great defence, great running and great sportsmanship.

The boys received their winning medals as well as the 2012 Premiers trophy. Bill Zammit was awarded Man of the Match.

The boys would like to thank their sponsor South East Embroidery, Coach Richard Inskip, Manager Bec Inskip, First Aid Officers Rebecca Hain and Catherine Pearce and League Safe Dale Bond, Nick Dwyer-Gersak and Pete

Gersak. Also a huge thank

you to James Hayden and Remy Oldrey who played up from the under 11’s for us, they both had a great game. Great year boys and we hope to see you all again next year.

Frank’S butchEry u13

The Frank’s Butchery Under 13s played Canberra North Bears in the Grand Final on Sunday in an early match that had fog still hanging around Bruce Stadium.

The boys won the grand final in a very nail biting match winning 18-16.

All the boys stepped up and played a great

game of football. Each one of them should be proud of their efforts not only on grand final day but also throughout the season and especially the semi finals.

Try scorers were Zac Saddler, Jake Hedger and Charlie Allen and Zac kicked three from three. Well done team.

Thank you to all the parents and supporters on the day – I am sure the boys could hear you all cheering.

Thank you to the Aussie Hotel who put on a luncheon for the boys on their return to Cooma. After the lunch the boys all watched their grand final on the big screen.

Douglass and Edgenton win Spring ShieldCooma Golf report by Garry Atkinson

With hot scoring on a couple of nice spring days, Steve Edgenton and David Douglass had a runaway win in the Spring Shield over the weekend.

Scores of 46 points on Saturday and a brilliant 50 points on Sunday left all golfers in their wake. The recently cored greens and varied tee positions made the course interesting and somewhat challenging for all concerned.

Round one of the Spring Shield was held on Saturday and saw Greg Abraham and David Abraham win the day with a fine 47 points from David Douglass and Steve Edgenton with 46.

Ball winners went to 43 points and nearest the pins prizes were taken out by John Langton on the ninth and Heikki Evans on the 17th. Longest drives went to Richard Hanna B grade and John Langton in C grade with no A graders hitting the fairway.

On Sunday the Spring Shield was finalised in mild conditions. Winners on the day were Steve Edgenton and David Douglass with a fantastic

50 stableford points. Ball winners went to 43 points.

Nearest the pin on the 17th was taken out by Denis Minehan. Longest drives were on the 16th hole with Tony Clibborn taking out A grade, Richard Hanna B grade and Lindsay Blewitt C grade.

On Wednesday the mens single stableford saw some great scores with Norm Marshall taking out A grade, shooting a fine 41 points.

Richard Hanna won B grade with 35 points on a countback from Heikki Evans and in C grade Egils Freimanis took out first prize with 39 points also on a countback from Prawit Prakotasung.

Ball winners went down to 35 points. Nearest the pin on the 17th went to Prawit Prakotasung and John Harris hit it nice and close on the ninth.

Next week sees a single stableford the order of the day on Wednesday, a single medley stableford on Saturday and round three of the business house trophy is on Sunday as well as an individual stableford for members not in the business house competition.

See you on the greens.

Jordan DavisHall of Fame

The most memorable result of my Little Athletics participation to date was winning the under-9s Gold this year in both shot-put and discus at State Athletics. My 2 Gold Medals helped Cooma Athletics win the ACT Little Athletics Small Centre Trophy of the Year (2011-12).

The highlight of my Little Athletics participation to date was winning 8 medals in the Dubbo New Year’s carnival in 2011 across all events – running, jumping and throwing.

I started competing in Cooma Little Athletics in 2008 when I was 5 years old. I enjoyed trying all the events when I started - track events, hurdles, long jump, high jump, discus & javelin (Turbo Jav). As I got older, I enjoyed focussing on my favourite events – shot-put, discus and 60m hurdles.

Bunyan Airfield ‘Wave Camp’ a Nationally recognised EventThe Canberra Gliding

Club’s annual ‘Wave Camp’ event will be held at Bunyan Airfield again this year from September 22 – 30.

The event is run over the entire week and attracts pilots from all over the country including QLD, NSW, VIC, SA and ACT.

Club Captain Stuart Ferguson said they have close to 40 pilots registered for this

year’s event which also coincides with the Clubs 50th Anniversary celebrations.

This type of event is quite unique in Australia. ‘There are only two other Wave Camps held in Australia but these are small club events’ says Mr Ferguson.

The reason Cooma-Monaro is ideal for this event is because of what is known as

the ‘Snowy Mountains Wave Soaring Area’.

In layman’s terms this is absolute ideal high altitude conditions for gliding.

The Australian altitude record of 33,000 ft was set at Bunyan airfield by Rick Agnew.

Cooma Tourism Manager Donna Smith said ‘Conservatively this event is worth around

$50,000 to the local community’.

‘Pilots and their families will stay in Cooma accommodation and both the club and individuals will be buying food, fuel and other resources in Cooma during this week-long event’.

This particular event

is for qualified pilots only, however they will also have limited Joy

Flights and Trial Instructional flights by prior arrangement with the club.

Spectators are also welcome to come and enjoy the event and the many exotic aircraft both on the ground and in the air.

Unfurling their flag

The Cooma lady bowlers certainly have something to smile about! The team was recently named runner-up to Sussex Inlet in the NSW State Pennant Play-offs and the ladies gathered at the Cooma Bowling Club last Tuesday to celebrate their achievement and to be present at the official unfurling of the State Runner Up Pennant for 2012.

“It’s quite exciting!” the team’s publicity officer, Lorraine West, said at the event. “We are really proud of ourselves!”

There was a good crowd present to witness the Pennant raising, which was followed up with morning tea in the Bowling Club for the team members and their guests.

Dixon is SERAS athlete of the yearJindabyne athlete Beth Dixon, aged 17, has taken out the ‘Athlete of the Year’ award for the South East Regional Academy of Sport (SERAS) Netball Program for 2012.

The selection of the ‘Athlete of the Year’ award is based on specific criteria including: attitude, prompt reporting, taking advantage of support services, and performance in the sporting arena.

The award is presented to the scholarship holder who is acknowledged by the SERAS coaching staff as being a great role model for the sport of netball.

The Netball Program commenced in 2002 and is run in partnership with Netball NSW.

In 2012 the program has been sponsored by the Triple M Group of Companies and besides holding a number of training camps the academy also send a team of netballers to the ClubsNSW Academy Games held in Wollongong in April and the NIB Games held in Maitland during the July school holidays.

This is Beth’s first full year on scholarship after being in the scaled back netball program in 2011.

She has played in the ACT competition this year and her improvement was evident at the Academy Games where she was named in the merit team as a reward for her fine display on court for SERAS.
