Torah is new face of Perisher As part of her new ambassador role, Torah will become the face of Perisher in advertising and promotional campaigns, representing the resort where she first started snowboarding and where she developed as an athlete. Torah has expressed that given Perisher is her favourite Australian alpine resort, it was easy for her to commit to officially becoming a representative of the place she loves, both here and internationally. “Although Torah spends much of her time overseas these days, she still calls the Snowy Mountains and Perisher home,” confirmed Circe Wallace, Torah’s manager. It’s not just about advertising though, Torah obviously has a very strong affinity with Perisher and as such she wants to ‘give back’ to the place she grew up. During the season, Torah will be spending time with lucky Perisher Winter Sports Club children, imparting her knowledge and experience in personalised coaching clinics. Plus, Torah will ‘hang-out’ with the winner of a ‘Board for a Day with Torah’ competition that Perisher will be conducting. To celebrate Torah’s Halfpipe Gold Medal victory in Vancouver, Perisher will be renaming its Superpipe in her honour at an official ceremony during the 2010 winter season. “We are excited to have Torah join us”, Public Relations and Business Development Manager, Perisher, Neil Thew, said. “Torah’s incredible accomplishments on the competitive snowboarding arena are to behold and admire, however her warm and engaging personality match these qualities, making her the perfect ambassador for Perisher,” Mr Thew said.

Deciding future for the region About 40 people attended a Regional Development Australia Southern Inland (RDASI) Regional Plan Review Workshop at Cooma on Wednesday. The meeting followed a community forum held in Cooma in May to gather information to be considered in developing a final working plan for the RDASI. Those in attendance represented a wide crosssection of the community, including councillors, council staff, tourism operators, small business owners and community groups. The meeting, which was conducted by RDASI executive officer Colin McLean and Dr Kim Horton of Strategic Economic Solutions, explained what had emerged as key issues for the region. These included: Economic development, leadership, the role of the ACT, population growth, climate and natural resource mangement; health; education; telecommunications; tourism; transport (people and freight); planning and infrastructure. Points raised under these issues were discussed and commented on. Regarding economic development, the previous forums had considered there was a need for better resources amd networking, as well as better communication technology, especially to allow a wider range of home-based businesses. There was also a need for more opportunities for work for spouses. In relation to leadership, the forums found a need for more leadership training and more training or leadership opportunties for young people, some of which already exist and some which have recently ceased. Bruce Hovey, representing Cooma Unlimited addressed the meeting, suggesting there needed to be more industrial development at Polo Flat, which could then offer employment opportunties for young people and so retain them in the area.

In discussion concerning regional planning, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council planning devel opment manager Peter Smith, said Local Environment Plans were dictated by the State Government and including all rural land, not just high value rural land as listed in the summary. Other issues to be raised during the meeting included the variety of different tourism reviews and plans which have been initiated in recent years, The previous forums believed there was a need for an intregrated, strategic plan for the whole region. Inlcuded in tis aspect was cultural tourism. South East Arts representative Heidi Kunz said there was potential to extend cultural tourism, such as exhibitions, etc, but this was severely hindered by a lack of funds. RDASI chairman, Ken Prendergast said he believed there was a lot of potential for eco tourism development. There was also discussion on transport needs and deficiencies, conducting an audit on infrastructure to see which towns or shires were best situated to accept increased population; diversifying agricultural practices and opportunties. The meeting also discussed the need for a business advice service in the region. It was noted the Snowy-Monaro Business Enterprise Centre had provided this service until funding from State and Federal Governments was stopped. The meeting was told by Bombala representatives that the service now in place, supplied via the Capital BEC in Queanbeyan “just doesn’t work”. Feedback from Wednesday’s meeting will be considered on developing a final plan of action for the organsiation. Priorities will be set by the committee.

Proposed closures rankle ratepayers by Robin Daley

More than 70 people gathered at the Coolamatong Country Club in Berridale last Wednesday, June 9, to attend a community meeting convened by the Snowy Waste Task Force. Chairperson of the Snowy Waste Task Force, (SWTF), Vickii Wallace welcomed the assembled crowd and said the SWTF had decided on a community meeting to give the people of Snowy River Shire a voice on the proposed closure of Berridale and Dalgety garbage facilities. She explained that the SWTF was working with council to achieve better outcomes for the community and better solutions

than the proposed closures of some of the shire’s tips. Mrs Wallace said that the SRSC’s Draft Plan of Management indicated that the Berridale and Dalgety tips would be closed on June 30, 2010. She said the recent waste survey was loaded. “Why would Jindabyne people not vote for option one which was the cheapest option? “The survey did not take into account the other people in the shire. “Berridale town residents also need access to their tip to deposit green waste and missed kerbside collection,” she said. Berridale town residents were not asked their opinions in the survey. “The survey was not well thought out,” Mrs Wallace said. Taking her garbage to the Jindabyne or Cooma tips was not acceptable to her. “Are they to you?” she asked those present, “I rarely go to Jindabyne and taking my rubbish to Cooma it’s just not on.” SWTF committee member, Phil Daley spoke about the recent unpopular waste survey and warned those present of the addendum to option one in the Draft Plan of Management which said: ‘Council proposes to expand collection of areas affected by Berridale and Dalgety closures in a manner and costs yet to be determined’. He then explained the negative points of the waste survey. He said there was no proposal to change tip opening hours, no proposal to change the method of rehabilitating tips. Council has not considered only opening Berridale for two days per week and allowing the other day for Eucumbene WTS, nor has council considered taking any of the five days from Adaminaby tip, nor any of the seven days from Jindabyne tip, to maintain services to other areas. Mr Daley said, council still maintained that household waste generated from a house on a rural property was somehow different to household waste generated from a residential property. “Your Snowy Waste Task Force committee is making representation to try and address these matters,” he said. Past mayor of SRSC, Richard Wallace, addressed those present and started by saying he wished he had never left council. This was met with loud applause. He pointed out that only one out of nine councillors was a rural ratepayer. “First it is the tips to be taken away, next it will be the water supplies,” he said. “We used to have reasonable waste facilities in Snowy River Shire, but not now. “The new proposed Economic Development Officer for Snowy River Shire will be able to say: ‘Come to Snowy River Shire, no tips but a great place!’. “It is ridiculous taking our tips away, tips are a basic service.” He concluded his stirring talk by satirising JFK’s famous lines; ‘Don’t ask what your council can do for you but what you can do for your council’, a timely reminder of the power of the people. Mayor John Cahill was present at the meeting along with Councillors Jan Lekstrom and Bill Smits. Mr Cahill reasoned that most of the people present were rural waste ratepayers, an assumption disputed by the assembled crowd. He confessed that Cooma-Monaro Shire Council rates were half those of the rural rate in SRSC. “I would like to see the rating system changed,” he said, “I pay more rates than commercial enterprises in Jindabyne.” He said that general rates had nothing to do with paying for waste. “Adjoining council waste rates are cheaper,” he said, “but SRSC has more waste facilities.”

This statement was also disputed. As the meeting was keen to question Mayor Cahill, he consented to taking questions. The first question was, “Why can’t all SRSC residents pay the same waste charges”. Answer: “Regulations”. Question: “I know an elderly couple living on a farm, how are they going to cope with no tip near them? Will they get a roadside service?”. Answer: “No decision has been taken yet. Maybe there will be a private collection. All options are on the table”. Question: Why is the Jindabyne tip open seven days a week?”. Answer: “There are a lot of commercial operators in Jindabyne”. Question: “I would give up days at the Berridale WTS so Dalgety and Eucumbene people could have a service”. Answer: “There would be additional rural waste charges if the tips opened longer”. Question: “I have read the regulations and there is no differential between rural domestic waste and town domestic waste”. Question: “Is it not more environmentally responsible for one truck to take rubbish to Jindabyne each week than 40 or more cars driving to Jindabyne tip each week?”. Answer: “There is an ideal site for a tip at the cross-roads of the Adaminaby Road and the Prahran Road near Berridale. That site would cost about seven million dollars to develop. Council will make a reasonable decision re waste”. Elio Grohovaz said he was a resident of Braemar Bay and he paid rates but had no services. “I don’t accept the costings are correct,” he said, referring to the figures for waste in SRSC’s Draft Plan of Management. “Council should address the waste issue in a more realistic manner,” Mr Grohovaz said. Mr Grohovaz, a committee member of the SWTF, has been studying the Local Government Act in detail. He said the Local Government Act provided for rates but allows flexibility. “It also says councils must ask for annual rates and says there must be a service for those rates. “There are many options that can be discussed and Council is not as constrained as the Mayor indicated,” he said. Cr Bill Smits said he was wearing two hats at the meeting; one as a resident of Berridale and one as a councillor. He said he was totally opposed to the closure of the Berridale WTS and he was strongly opposed to the waste survey. “The council should be environmentally, economically and socially responsible but we have had poor management over many years. “We need to improve management,” he said. Cr Smits said it made no sense to close Berridale and Eucumbene WTS when they had cost so much money to set up as waste transfer stations. “Council has made some bad decisions including the $1 million rock wall at the Jindabyne tip. “The Eucumbene WTS was closed long before the Draft Plan of Management was on exhibition.” In answer to a question from the floor, Cr Smits said the current waste manager had been upgraded to the senior waste manager as council was proposing to employ a waste education officer to educate ratepayers about illegally dumping their rubbish after the closure of the tips which will leave only two tips in Snowy River Shire open. SWTF committee member Fiona Corby asked those present for suggestions to take to the next SWTF meeting with council. Some excellent suggestions came from this request, including rationalising tip opening hours, fortnightly collection of domestic waste and an independent opinion and interpretation of the Local Government Act. Mrs Corby revealed that Snowy River Council does not have a Plan of Management for Waste Services and as such cannot be making long-term decisions with no plan in place. The meeting concluded with an appeal by the SWTF for all present to make a submission to the council on the Draft Plan of Management. Submissions must reach council by 4pm, June 23. A feeling of disappointment with their council and its decisions, and anxiety over the proposed closures of Berridale and Dalgety waste facilities permeated the meeting. In the council’s Draft Plan of Management, Mayor Cahill in his “Forward by the Mayor”, says: ‘I encourage you to have input into the Management Plan and provide direction for our Shire. Your feedback about this Management Plan is invaluable in terms of ensuing that the projects and tasks council proposes reflect your aspirations’. Maybe with that assurance SRSC ratepayers can be confident in hoping the ongoing waste management proposal will be resolved.

Winners of Perisher environment awards announced Sundeck Hotel’s proprietor, Cliff Wallis, received the Perisher Environment Award as having implemented the best environment management in the resort. Edelweiss Ski Club made the second greatest contribution to reducing environmental impacts and Waratah Ski Lodge, third. The awards were presented by Andrew Harrigan of the NSW Environment, Climate Change & Water (NPWS) on Saturday, June 12 at the Sundeck. These accommodation providers with the Perisher Range Resorts were recognised for their outstanding environmental management under the Perisher Range Environment Management System (PRREMS) which began in 2002. The three winners were selected from a potential pool of more 120 accommodation providers. “The Sundeck Hotel” said Andrew Harrigan “has shown itself to be one of the most environmentally conscious businesses in the Snowy Mountains. It has installed an $80,000 solar power system that provides 50% of its power needs. It has also installed dual flush toilets,

waterless urinals, got rid of skidoos and undertaken extensive recycling and avoids purchases with heavy packaging, in addition to planting over 2,000 trees on his south coast property.” In his acceptance speech, Cliff Wallis said that twenty years ago he thought he was entering a pristine environment, however he found no recycling, no Environment Management System and nothing minimising the impact of man. By going “green”, Sundeck is gaining an 18 percent return on the investment in solar panels with 20 percent of his electricity coming from solar panels. The total water refit, energy saving lights, the avoidance of heavy packaging and selective waste has reduced his operating costs. The second lodge to receive an Award was Edelweiss for its consistency in reducing its water consumption. With a target of 200 litres per person per night across the resort, Edelweiss had reduced its water usage to 100 litres per person per night

through member education and regular audits. Secretary of the Perisher Historical Society, Mrs Pam Woodman accepted the award on behalf of the manager Gregor Murray, who was absolutely chuffed on being recognised for the efforts. Waratah Ski Lodge focussed on pollution prevention and resource efficiencies. Mrs Mueller who accepted the Award on behalf of the members, spoke of the their efforts when it came to the modifications and moving of the oil tanks when the heating system was changed from heating oil to one governed by regulated thermostasts, sensors systems. Other initiatives included off peak gas hot water, recladding external walls and regular energy audits. The last award was presented to Graeme Anderson who was president of Slopes for 15 years. Slopes represents the ski clubs on the Perisher Range. Graeme supported PPREMS since its inception, in a very real way in his encouragement to bring the lodges on board with PPREMS. The PPREMS committee comprises representatives from Perisher Blue, Slopes, NSWP, the Chamber of Commerce and the Conservation Council.

First book for former teacher Monaro Books and Music together with Shannon O’Boyle are helping former Cooma resident Christopher Holt to launch his first book, ‘The gate of tears’. The launch will be held at the Raglan Gallery on Thursday June 24 from 5pm until 8pm, with light refreshments being served. Christopher spent many years living in Africa and Australia, where he lived in Cooma. He taught History and Maths at the former Brigidine High, now St Patrick’s Parish School in the mid to late 1970s and moved to Phillip Island in Victoria after that. Born in Devon, in the United Kingdom he returned to the UK in 2008, where he now lives and writes near London. Currently in Australia to visit family, Christopher will soon head back to the U.K to continue writing another two books he has started. ‘The Gate of Tears’ is set in Sydney’s northern suburbs following the Second World War and is based on a returned sailor, his family arriving from the UK, and how wartime service has changed him. Christopher will be at the launch to sign copies of his book and to answer any questions you have for him.

Why Cooma will continue to survive Editor,

RE: population growth in Cooma beyond 2010I believe that Cooma’s population has proved to be resilient because of the following setbacks: We have known that SMA was phasing down but it was replaced with Snowy Hydro and SMEC ; The railway has been closed; The gaol was closed; The County Council was amalgamated and we lost most of our field and maintenance staff – plus $7million we had in reserves for maintenance (local money). I believe this was taken to help build the Olympics. Our hospital was built as a 56-bed hospital and I believe it is currently half that number. The maternity section was closed and put in the new hospital. The kitchen at the hospital was closed and then we had imported frozen foods which were not palatable. The Court House lost the District Court to Queanbeyan – also the sheriffs. Police numbers reduced (no night shifts). Ring Queanbeyan for service??! Local police servicing Jindabyne in winter months. Our Snowy Mountains Airport lost our regualr air services. Sorting of mail in Cooma shifted to Canberra. The wholesalers amalgamated and then transferred to Canberra. Telstra servicemen transferred out of Cooma. Two motels closed. One hotel gone. One caravan park and one supermarket gone. Now the good news:

We have gained two Call centres; Two new supermarkets; Another local newspaper; The gaol reopened; Two new eating or takeaway places; Extension to our nursing home by 20 beds Yallambee Hostel is now 40 beds; Several small service businesses in Polo Flat; Snowy Mounatains Airport reopened. We have had our losses and our gains. I believe our future lies in allowing rural subdivisions to proceed. People having hobby farms spend a lot in our nearest town. They create work for the building and associated services, also stock and station and real estate agents and rural supplies. Council gains more rates and other service industries. People wish to move out of cities and could create jobs and population growth. We have the infrastructure, let’s use it. It appears that Local Government in Macquarie Street is holding up our LEP (Local Environment Plan) so any development is very slow to proceed (if at all). Some people have been waiting eight years for the LEP to change. I believe our local council should push our local members to get the results we would like - not what is wanted in Sydney and other big country towns or cities. John Pattrick Cooma

Well, there’s no denying it – winter is here. The white stuff on top of the hills is just confirming something the winter aches and pains have been hinting at for some time. There are idiots and then there are idiots. And then there are those who think lining empty

drink bottles up on white lines in the middle of the road is amusing. These are the people who need to be issued with a dustpan and broom and made to clean up the hazards they create. Numpties! Bad luck to our Socceroos – but like they say, it wasn’t meant to

be easy. Germany was just too good for us on the day. Ghana might be a better result for us, but we’d better be playing our best. This Saturday, residents in Cooma-Monaro Shire get to vote for a new councillor to serve at least for the next two years.

Like other Australians, we are lucky we have the opportunity to have a say, so don’t waste it. Go to a polling booth and vote for the person you think will do the best job for us. This most recent public holiday has some asking if it is warranted. The Postman believes

we have far too many public holidays. Whether a day off for HRH Queen Elizabeth is warranted or not, it’s small businesses which suffer through penalty rates, etc, etc, so the state or nation can celebrate. Enough is enough.

OUTSTANDING SAFETY ISSUES ON PUBLIC FOOTPATHS

SHARP STREET

Council would like to remind service providers and contractors that they are required to submit a section 138 application (Roads Act 1993) to Council when working in the roads and on footpaths. The s138 application helps Council to minimise the public’s exposure to hazards and inconvenience from poor safety management and incomplete projects such as the one pictured left.

Bronnie supporter More police reporting needed

Editor, I write with regard to Bronnie Taylor’s nomination for Cooma Monaro Council. Bronnie would make a very worthy councilor being one of the Monaro’s most energetic and community minded people. She was instrumental in campaigning for the covering of the Cooma Pool, is a driving force behind the Monaro Committee for Cancer Research, being the instigator for the implementation of the Oncology Unit at the Cooma Hospital, and a dedicated Community nurse. Bronnie has declared her membership of the National Party, as did former National Party Member for Monaro Peter Cochran who was an excellent councilor and mayor for many years. Political party membership should not be a reason to exclude nominees from council elections. Bronnie works two days a week so is able to dedicate sufficient time to this important position. Bronnie is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in but is fair and even handed and is willing to listen to opposing views. She will make a vibrant and worthy contribution to council if elected this week. Elizabeth Litchfield Cooma

Editor, There are two items of public interest in the news. 1: the ongoing dispute concerning unflued gas heaters in schools and 2: the need for people who are rock fishing to wear life jackets. The danger of unflued gas heaters in schools was first mentioned in the Sun Herald on January 4, 2009, again in the Sun Herald on August 16, 2009 and on May 2, 2010 then in the local papers April 22, 2010 where the federal member Dr Mike Kelly has expressed his concern “that there does appear to be some research to support the positive that there may be risks associated with long term exposure to unflued heaters.” Dr Kelly said, and he should know, as he is a doctor. Despite a vigorous campaign to ban unflued heaters in our schools the Hon Verity Firth still maintains that they are safe if used correctly and maintained. I can just see the teaching staff every morning trimming the wicks and cleaning the gas jets! There has been a lot of knowledgeable comments that these heaters should be banned! It has taken 16 months including a cold winter in 2009 for the director of education to reluctantly agree that there may be some cause for concern, anyone with a modicum of common sense and this includes politicians and the public servants officials with them should be aware of the dangers of unflued gas heaters; it’s like driving a car with a faulty exhaust but it’s quite permissible to put other people’s kids at risk, including the teachers Gustav Krupp would have approved. As for the compulsory wearing of life jackets for all these who indulge in the hobby of rock fishing

yes, I believe that this should be encouraged, made law, perhaps lives may be saved, perhaps people in the emergency services would not have to risk their lives and wellbeing in helping those in trouble and the police divers would not spend their time searching around for bodies in deep sea trenches on our coast. Rock fishing people often don’t understand the tremendous power of a crushing unpredictable and treacherous rogue wave. For those who may know the rock platform at Bondi there is a sandstone block, 250 tonnes of it, it was pushed up from the sea floor during a storm in 1912 by a huge wave. Think what this kind of pawn can do to people unprotected politics in 3D, disagree, deny, delay. The politicians won’t admit that there is a danger in unflued gas heaters in our schools or anywhere else for that matter and they won’t agree that people who rock fish are in need to have their lives protected, again disagree, deny, delay. Anyone who will not see the dangers of unflued gas heaters or the danger in rock fishing and the need to save lives and protect their wellbeing and minimise the risks to other people cannot and must not be taken seriously! Be careful of rogue waves when they come disguised in politics. Emile Mercier the cartoonist once said politicians are not real people, they think they are but no one believes them. Ron. H.

Editor, Locals often comment on the lack of police presence in our shire even though there has been quite a spate of vandalism and petty crime in the area recently. It has been pointed out to me, a concerned citizen, by both the Police and the Council that if the public do not report incidences, no matter how small, it does not get on to the statistics that are needed to decide if Cooma does indeed need more police numbers. Cooma “appears” to be almost incident free because locals do not report the multitude of seemingly small incidents like broken glass, graffiti, verbal abuse by strangers, petty theft and vandalism etc. I would encourage all citizens of the shire to report to the police any incidents they observe no matter how small they seem. Only with good statistical data can our local police have the evidence they need to put forward a strong case for increased numbers in our shire.

‘Jack’ Pendergast – a Man from Snowy River – was laid to rest at Moonbah Cemetery on Saturday, June 5 in the presence of 150 mourners, following a service where “How Great Thou Art” and the songs of Daniel Thomas and Reg Lindsay filled the little stone church. Father Peter officiated at the service, and the captain of Jack’s battalion in Papua New Guinea, Bede Tongs, led the RSL service at the graveside. Narelle Pendergast read the eulogy on which this obituary is based. One of Thomas and Mary Pendergast’s eight, John Thomas Vincent Pendergast was born in Jindabyne. His early years were very tough. The family survived only because of rabbits which they trapped, ate, sold and used the skins to make clothes. Jack did not attend school for very long. He worked on the land around Jindabyne, Hobbs Range, Moonbah, Mill Creek, Wollondibby and Kiora. Jack enlisted in the army during the war and saw action in Papua New Guinea alongside three of his brothers. On his return from the war, Jack worked for the Barry family, spending many years shepherding sheep in the mountains around Currango until a broken leg brought him down. When his leg healed, he worked at the National Fitness Camp. Never holding a driving licence, he would walk from wherever he was living to the main road and wait there until someone happened to stop and pick him up and give him a lift to where he wanted to go. Jack would usually have a sugar bag over his shoulder and trusty oilskin rolled up “just in case there was a blizzard!” Filling his sugar bag with supplies obtained in Jindabyne, he would then head for the pub from where he would be sure of getting lift back home. Living together with his brother Mick at Kiora, they later bought a house at Tumut to winter in, in order to escape the cold. There they lived very nicely due to the abundance of ladies who were either widowed or as Jack put it “old maids”. The brothers moved back to Jindabyne when Mick’s health began to deteriorate. And when his own health began to fail, he moved into the Snowy River Hostel at Berridale where he enjoyed the company of the residents and staff – Jack loved to yarn. Jack’s siblings Kit, Maggie, Mary, Dave, Noel and Mick predeceased him. He will be fondly remembered by his young brother Vaughan, his sister-in-law Neen, and his many nieces and nephews.

A simpler, fairer tax system. A stronger economy for everyone.

The world is changing. For our economy to remain strong for the years ahead, we need our tax system to change with it. Planning now for an ageing population by lifting the amount of super we all have will help all Australians to have a secure retirement. Cutting tax and paperwork will help small businesses grow and prosper, also contributing to our economic security. And making sure all Australians share the wealth of our natural resources will allow us to build the foundations for a stronger future. Making tax simpler and fairer now will help make our economy stronger in the long run. Tax reform affects all of us, so it’s important to know what’s on the table.

President Elaine Mooney opened the May meeting by welcoming all members and guests, Judy Adams, Margaret Kellond and Coral Reid. Jill Mortensen introduced her special guest, Anne Miners. Yvonne Smith was inducted as the newest member of the Club. Jill Mortensen, speaker oganiser, announced that guest speaker at the June meeting would be Frank McGeorge, a Marine Engineer and the member speaker would be Coral Ordish whose topic is ‘The Demise of the English Language’. The guest speaker in July will be Anne Marie Doyle who was a Hansard Reporter and who has worked in various Australian Embassies around the world. The member speaker will be Marie Fletcher. As yet we do not have guest speakers for either August or September but member speakers will be Marcia Pirie and Gwenda Stockton respectively. Gwenda’s topic will be her visit to the Australian WWI Battlefield of Fromelles and the War Cemetery that has been built for the 250 soldiers, Australian and British whose bodies have been located, and who are now being re-interred. 1,500 British and 5,533 Australians lost their lives in the battle which took place on July 19 and 20 1916. A coach trip to The Royal Mint and the Australian Museum has been arranged for Wednesday August 18, leaving from behind the Library at 9.30am. Lunch can be purchased at the Museum. We hope to return by 4.30pm. The cost will be $26. A very interesting talk was given by our guest speaker Peter Cochran - his topic was the wild horses or ‘brumbies’ in the Kosciuszko National Park. The ‘brumby’ is a free-roaming feral horse in Australia and although they are found in many areas around the country, the best-known brumbies are found in the Australian Alps.

Brumbies are descended from escaped or lost horses, dating back in some cases, to those belonging to the nation’s early European settlers. These horses included the “Capers” that arrived from South Africa, Today they live in many places, including some National Parks. Occasionally they are mustered and domesticated. These horses are the subject of some controversy, sometimes regarded as a pest and threat to native ecosystems, but valued by others as part of Australia’s heritage, with supporters who work to prevent inhumane treatment or extermination. On October 22 to 24 2000, hundreds of brumbies were secretly slaughtered in the Guy Fawkes River National Park by the government department known as the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. The method used i.e. aerial culling resulted in the slow, painful deaths of hundreds of these wild horses. Since then legistlation has been brought down preventing such cruelty ever happening again. Several voluntary organisations also work to rehome captured Brumbies. Peter told us of a program to help dysfunctional and disturbed children. Through close contact with horses, kids who know nothing about normal relationships, responsibility and respect, realise the value of these virtues. The hope, then, is that this new learning will be integrated into their own lives. Several voluntary organisations also work to rehome captured Brumbies. The Cooma-Monaro Ladies Club meets on the second Wednesday of every month at 10.30am at the Cooma Ex-Services Club and If you would like and further information please contact our Secretary, Coral Ordish on 6456.4707 or email: coralmordish@ bigpond.com

Jindabyne Beautification levy increases Snowy River Shire Council, through its draft Management Plan, is proposing to increase the minimum rates above that permitted by the NSW State Government. It is proposed that the rates paid by Business and Farmland categories would rise from $467.24 to $600 and the minimum rate for Residential would rise from $467.24 to $500. This proposal seeks to spread the burden of rates more equitably through each of the categories, thus correcting some current anomalies. For example, 54 percent of rate payers pay only 25 percent of the rates in the Business category. The proposal is subject to Ministerial approval and does not increase rates above the 2.6 percent rate pegging limit. The draft Management Plan also proposes to increase the radius of the Jindabyne Beautification Levy from the current 5km to 10km. There will be no overall increase in the amount collected; rather the burden will be spread over a larger number of rate payers. It is felt that all within that category benefit from the beautification of Jindabyne and the flow-on benefits that it provides. All interested parties are invited to view copies of the documents and provide feedback to

Council. The draft plan is on exhibition at the following locations: • Council Chambers, 2 Myack Street, Berridale • Council Office (Razorback), Gippsland Street, Jindabyne • On Council’s website: www.snowyriver.nsw. gov.au by clicking on “Management Plan” under the “Council News and Highlights” section In addition, the General Manager and Senior Council Officers will be available to meet with the public each week during the exhibition period. Management Plan workshops will be held at the Council Chambers in Berridale on: • Tuesdays from 7am to 9am, Council Chambers, Berridale • Thursdays from 6pm to 8pm, Meeting Room, Razorback Office, Jindabyne Council will accept submissions until 4.30 pm Wednesday 23 June 2010. All comments should be submitted in writing and addressed to the General Manager. Submissions can be faxed, posted or hand delivered to the Berridale or Jindabyne offices, or sent via email to management.plan@snowyriver. nsw.gov.au.

Cooma-Monaro Shire Council by election - Candidates profiles David Wicks Bronnie Taylor Since Nimmitabel Advancement Group’s inception more than 20 years ago I have served in many executive positions including, current and past President, three years as chairman/ spokesman of the Lake Wallace Project water committee, current NAG delegate to the Cooma Monaro Shire Council’s Water and Waste Water committee, Lake Wallace Feasibility Steering Committee member and many years as Heritage Trail committee member and treasurer.

Leading the charge to deliver Nimmitabel’s town water security has been one of my most satisfying achievements in the public world. As co-manager of the Lake Wallace Feasibility Study, I was able to deliver a feasible, budget project to Council, with Dr Kelly’s federal funding attached, saving ratepayers $550,000. As long-term spokesperson for NAG, I have already built good rapport with successive mayors, councillors and council staff at all levels. This position also brought me into the realm of proudly representing the community to State and Federal government and allowed me to build a good working relationship with our State and Federal members. Through both my community work, assisting our local service groups and societies, and in my professional realm, I have already developed a good understanding of council departmental processes. The future Councillor’s responsibilities should include good local governance – listening to ratepayers, presenting their concerns to Council and striving to deliver the best possible value for money and services across the whole

Greg Coombes-Pearce I am standing for Council because I believe the Shire is in decline and there are inefficiencies in the way Council conducts its business and operations. I believe I have the requisite skill set and experience to assist and improve Council’s outcomes for ratepayers and Councillors in particular. I joined the Royal Australian Navy at the age of 17, working my way up through the ranks and finally retiring following 30 years service. I moved to Cooma Monaro in 1993 and lived on my rural property at Michelago moving to Cooma in 2003. I have 10 years experience in Local Government as Business Development and asset Support Officer. • I am concerned at the high cost of rates within the shire in comparison to other similar Shires. • I am of the view that Council needs to be more transparent and accountable for their expenditure, I

of the shire. In my stance as a truly independent elected councillor, with no party political masters, I would guide CMSC towards a more proactive role in facilitating growth, progress and development within the shire. After 30 years of working in Cooma, the villages and the surrounding rural districts, I’ve had the opportunity to listen to the many social and economic issues facing us all. I do have a strong commitment to assist Council’s leadership create the best possible environment for business and private investment, with the obvious beneficial flow on effects for all - ensuring employment security and prosperity. As a contractor, always working within client’s tight budgets, I have always understood the interdependence on development to the wellbeing or otherwise of our region. I want to bring to Council my ability to listen to my clients needs and then deliver the quality service and value for money they demand. This skill has stood me in good stead throughout my working career, and I do believe that there is a niche for a small business owner in the building industry to boost Councils’ current team.

Water usage fine Snowy River Shire Council has fined an asphalt contractor for unlawfully taking water from a Council hydrant in Jindabyne. c Acting on information from a concerned resident, the Council was able to identify the driver and owner of the truck, which had been seen taking water from a fire hydrant at the corner of Bent and Kurrajong Streets. After being questioned about the incident, the contractor, who was involved in road works on the Kosciuszko Road past Perisher Valley, agreed to pay for

approximately 1000 litres of water taken and applied for approval to draw water from the Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water supply in the future. The contractor was also fined $220. Speaking on behalf of council, Ms Wendy Nixon said the incident serves as a warning to others that unlawful removal of water from the public supply is a serious matter. She added that Council recently raised its concerns with the Minister for Local Government about the inadequacy of the penalties for these types of offences.

However, upgrade buyers are simply not entering the market in sufficient numbers to provide the necessary net boost to generate a sustained housing recovery, said Ben Phillips. “The only bright spot in this release is that investment loans for new housing increased 9.1 per cent over the month, assisting total investment to increase by 1.3 per cent, said Ben Phillips. “Today’s figures reinforce a renewed, post stimulus weakness in the new homes market which should be a signal to the Reserve Bank that steady rates is the appropriate course for the foreseeable future,” said Ben Phillips. In seasonally adjusted terms the total number of owner occupier loans in April 2010 fell by 0.7 per cent in Victoria, 3.1 per cent in Queensland, 1.9 per cent in Western Australia, 0.2 per cent in the ACT, and 8.6 per cent in the Northern Territory. Loans increased by 0.4 per cent in New South Wales, 3.8 per cent in South Australia, and 2.7 per cent in Tasmania.

The executive director of the MBA-ACT, John Miller said the national seasonally-adjusted 14.8 per cent decline in the total dwelling units approved represented stark evidence of the impact of the Reserve Bank’s successive interest rate increases,

Mr Miller said that the April building approvals data should send a clear message to the Reserve Bank that the time had come to leave interest rates on hold.

Looking at the data for the ACT, Mr Miller said he was concerned to note the 41.8 per cent decline in approvals for private sector houses – something which had only been marginally offset by a lift in multiunit developments in Canberra.

“Given this data and continuing concerns around sovereign debt and the global economy, we would be urging the Reserve Bank to leave rates on hold for the foreseeable future,” he said, “To do otherwise would risk seriously stalling the home building sector.”

“The succession of rate rises we have witnessed since the closing months of last year are clearly impacting on consumer sentiment and the level of home building work around Australia,” he said. “It “What is most disturbing about is time for the Reserve Bank to pause its tightening this data is that it reveals a 13.5 in monetary policy.” per cent decline with respect Mr Miller said that in circumstances where the to approvals for private sector houses – something which points Federal Budget had been only mildly stimulatory to a dramatic erosion in consumer he did not expect any significant improvement in the May data. confidence,” he said.

Chrissi finds father’s aircraft Stranded daughter of aviation pioneer gains clearance to fly in his Wicko high wing monoplane over Southampton airport.

Stranded in the United Kingdom due to volcanic ash clouds, Jindabyne resident Chrissi Webb took advantage of the situation by travelling to Hampshire to see and fly in the high wing

monoplane Wicko G-AFJB designed and manufactured by her father, Australian Aviation pioneer, Geoffrey Neville Wikner before World War II in England. Aviation enthusiasts will recall that Geoff Wikner owned and flew, together with his family including Chrissi, and 18 other passengers in the Halifax Bomber ‘Waltzing Matilda’ to Australia in 1946. ‘Waltzing Matilda was the only Halifax to fly south of the Equator.

On arrival at the private grass airstrip on a farm, Chrissi was greeted with the sight of men polishing with love, this diminutive cream and red 2-seater aircraft. G-AFJB has had an interesting life. Following use during the war as a ferry plane for pilots around Britain. It was flown by a variety of people including Lettice Curtis who raced it; and Phillipa Benett who wanted to use it for an airline service.

Wicko G-AFJB ready for take-off on 19 April 2010. The original log book shows that in 1960, a previous owner overshot the runway and this Wicko fell off a cliff, after which he gathered up the parts in ‘plastic bags’. In 1973, the aircraft was rebuilt and reregistered. It was then in 1984, dismantled and for 25 years, it remained a derelict beside a fire dump. In 1998, the Wicko was purchased by Captain Joe Dible’s brother. Joe, an ex RAF pilot flying in Hawker Hunters, then an Aer Lingus pilot and the owner of two other light planes, is now the current owner. He transported it to Southampton, UK, where he gave the challenge of restoration to Ron Souch and spent a small fortune in restoring the plane. In 2005 the plane was re-registered for flight. Today, Mike Watts is privileged to care for the Wicko with its dual controls, which he described as ‘A big pussycat to be treated with respect’. He went on to elaborate that it flies ‘in a different way - it flies like an Auster and leads with the rudder.’ Mike added that the Wicko ‘whistles along at 85 - 95 miles an hour.’ [ I.e 137 kph to 153 kph] Restoration work included attaching a bigger propeller and he is currently seeking a Hornet tail wheel as per the prototype. It is one of the only two Wickos surviving and the only with a Certificate of Airworthiness which was renewed two weeks ago. The other Wicko is minus an engine and is in Caloundra Aviation Museum. Mike Watts is a Class A A&E with an ATR rating. He is a vintage aircraft restorer, who learnt his trade under Cliff Lovell working on Percival Gulls.

Mike had his first big break into the restoration business when he worked on the Stampe SV4 aircraft used in the film ‘Out of Africa.’ He holds an ATR pilot’s licence in addition to being a designated Civil Aviation Authority inspector for home built aircraft. Chrissi confidently scrambled into the cockpit alongside Mike Watts for a flight over Southampton Airport space following clearance given by the control tower (commercial aircraft being grounded due to volcanic ash). Regarded as a ‘special lady’ by Joe Dible and the aviation enthusiasts present, Chrissi was beaming with pride as she sat in the Wicko. Suddenly the propeller was being spun by hand, chocks away and the plane taxied down the bright green grass airstrip in the middle of a flowering canola field below a clear blue sky. At the end of the strip, the aircraft was stopped for the final engine check before take off. At the pre takeoff run-up check one of the two magnetos was found to be malfunctioning so the take-off had to be abandoned. Everybody was very disappointed as the Wicko taxied back to the hangers where several mechanics descended on the engine. No luck, the one magneto was dead and it was too late to install a replacement. It was then carefully wheeled to be hangared. However, nothing could detract from Chrissi’s joy at being able to see and sit in an aircraft designed and manufactured by her father, Geoff Wikner, who died at the Sir William Hudson Memorial Nursing Home in 1989.

Emergency advice The Snow season is once again upon us and the Ambulance Service of NSW wants to take the opportunity to remind snow revellers how they can have a safe, enjoyable holiday. Last year Paramedics responded to hundreds of Triple Zero calls in Jindabyne and the surrounding ski fields. Of these, 84 patients were taken to hospital with multiple fractures and 21 patients with serious head injuries. Ambulance has deployed extra paramedics to the region during the snow season and all purpose snow vehicles to access patients in the snow fields Many of the major accidents that ambulance attended in the area last year involved motorists in road collisions when heading to the snow on a Friday night or leaving on a Sunday afternoon. Paramedics are urging the community to “PLEASE” take care on the roads this season. “Remember it’s the family & friends you leave behind that will suffer for years to come” Ambulance offers the following advice and tips: Travel to the snow • Drive to the conditions of the road • Stop Revive Survive every two hours • Chains must be carried by law as soon as you entre Kosciuszko Nation Park (except if you are a 4WD) Whilst on the slopes: • All resorts are requesting that people skiing/boarding wear helmets at all times, including children. • Eat regularly to give yourself enough energy for movement and maintaining body temperature. Don’t skip breakfast or lunch. • Keep up fluid intake during the day; you still dehydrate even if it is cold! • Exercise before heading to the snow and ensure any niggling aches are checked by your doctor • Warm up and stretch before starting your days skiing If you get injured: If you’re in a ski resort, in the first instance contact the Ski Patrol at the nearest lift hut,, and if outside the resorts Call Triple Zero (000) and ask for Ambulance

Thyroid – the forgotten disease? Australian women need to be more proactive in detecting thyroid disease. And the good news is that treatment is simple and usually very effective! Women are five times more likely than men to experience a thyroid condition at some point in their life, says Dr Jennifer Wong, a consultant endocrinologist at Southern Health and research fellow at the Jean Hailes Foundation for Women’s Health. During Thyroid Awareness Week (1 – 7 June 2010) Dr Wong says women in Australia need to be more aware of thyroid disease symptoms so they can access effective treatment more quickly. “Women should think about having a simple thyroid test every year,” says Dr Wong. “There are no clear guidelines for thyroid screening but if you have a strong family history of thyroid disease, or previous treatment of a thyroid condition, you should have a regular check. And once women reach their 40s, they should consider having their thyroid function checked each year because the risks of some forms of thyroid disease increase with age.” The thyroid gland is part of the endocrine system and produces hormones that regulate the body’s metabolism. The two most common thyroid conditions affecting women are hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) and hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). “Hyperthyroidism is when there is excess thyroid hormone and it most often affects younger women in their 20s to 40s,” says Dr Wong. “We don’t know exactly what the triggers are but symptoms can include palpitations, anxiety, feeling very hot, diarrhoea, weight loss and menstrual irregularities.” A course of medication, radio-active iodine therapy or surgery to remove the thyroid gland in more severe cases can usually resolve the condition. Hypothyroidism is when there is too little thyroid

hormone. This can affect younger women but is more common in middle-aged women. A lack of thyroid hormone leads to symptoms such as fatigue, menstrual irregularities, weight gain and constipation and some women may start to lose their hair and experience dry skin. “These signs can be subtle and people attribute their fatigue to getting older or stress, and they can put weight gain down to menopause,” says Dr Wong. Treatment for hypothyroidism is usually effective and straightforward and can be taken in tablet form. Thyroid Awareness Week, run by the Australian Thyroid Foundation, is focusing on the importance of iodine as an important nutrient for thyroid hormone production, and particularly on the importance of receiving adequate iodine intake during pregnancy. Recent studies of the Australian population have shown a mild to moderate iodine deficiency. “Daily intake of iodine has reduced significantly due to reduction in use of iodised salt and content of iodine in milk. Very few foods contain iodine,” says Dr Wong. “The recommended daily intake of iodine is about 150mcg per day, but in pregnant or breast feeding women it is recommended that this is increased to 250mcg as the foetus in its early development is reliant on maternal thyroid hormone.” “Thyroid disease can manifest at any age and the symptoms and signs can be subtle,” says Dr Wong. “Women should be aware that thyroid disease is quite common and discuss with their general practitioner if they suspect they may have thyroid dysfunction. A GP can then arrange a blood test to check thyroid function and arrange treatment that is generally effective, safe and simple.”

Poveys tell of African Lovegrass saga Weeds Officer, Roger Roach recently interviewed cousins, Jack, Colin and Max Povey to find out the real history of African Lovegrass on the Monaro. The Poveys were all early, local graziers from the Colinton area, situated 60 km south of Canberra and 20 km north of Bredbo. It is here that African Lovegrass first got a foothold on the Monaro. At Colinton Max, Colin and Jack’s grandfathers and after them, their fathers owned and worked the land since the 1850’s. Their land, including the properties “Collingwood, Glenroy, Rockview, Rosedale and Ravenswood” totalled over 8,000 hectares or 20,000 acres. Today some of these properties are owned by 7th generation families of Poveys. During recent interviews, these men outlined their fathers’ discovery of African lovegrass and their attempts to control and eradicate this new, invasive weed. Their properties comprised of open flats, rising to granite and slate hills with sparse, stunted trees. The families grazed merino sheep and shorthorn cattle in what was traditionally a 475mm, or 19 inch rainfall area and in a time that these men described as “tough years”. African Lovegrass is a native of South Africa. It is a hardy, drought tolerant perennial grass which thrives on low fertility soils. Despite efforts to control African lovegrass, it can be found throughout New South Wales and is a major agricultural and environmental threat. African lovegrass readily colonises overgrazed and disturbed sites and without management will invade adjoining lands. Its ability to produce a large volume of seed means it can quickly form dense monocultures. Max recalls that African lovegrass was first detected on his father’s property “Ravenswood” in the late 1920s where it was growing near their shearing shed. This beautiful, green grass that nobody could identify grew rapidly following summer rains and the sheep ate it so they figured it mustn’t have been too bad. At this stage the Poveys had no understanding of the invasiveness and low protein values of this new grass species. In those early days sheep travelled in on the railway from the Riverina and drovers passed through with large mobs heading to lease blocks in the mountains. It was in these sheep that the ‘Lovegrass’ was thought to have originated. The Poveys employed workers at that time specifically to chip out Bathurst

?Who’s

Burr and Star thistles but not African lovegrass. 1939 to 1944 were drought years with the occasional good season and it was only then that African lovegrass was identified as an extremely invasive, low protein grass. During these years the focus for farm workers was to chip out African lovegrass as well. There were no chemicals available to spray this weed in those years. Colin first identified African lovegrass in front of the Colinton Post Office where they tied the horses up along the nearby fence. Colin believed that the horses were eating and passing the viable weed seeds through their gut as it was

growing through the manure. The Post office was located in the paddock beside the Bumbalong Road and the Monaro Highway where today there is only a couple of old dead pine trees left. Colin’s family property “Glenroy” was right beside the post office. One of Colin’s first jobs when he left school in 1952 was to go around chipping the scattered African lovegrass plants and if there were too many they would plough them in with an old Ferguson tractor and a 2 furrow Mollboard plough. In the late 1940s serrated tussock was starting to establish at “Calabash” on the “Tinderries which added to the huge work load. In

the mid 1950s, chisel ploughs and harrows were being used extensively to plough in the African Lovegrass and then sowing crops or pasture, but if there was a poor strike of crops or pasture, African Lovegrass would take over the disturbed soil. Max said that they tried deep ploughing the shearing shed paddock to bury all the seeds, “18 times over the years but to no avail” as African lovegrass still dominated the paddock. There was no chemical available for African lovegrass until Dalpon was manufactured in the 1950s. Dalpon was a white powder that was packaged in sacks as opposed to tins as it had a high salt content and would rust the tin containers. When mixed with water, Dalpon would kill everything but was very hard on the gear being used, rusting the spray parts very quickly. Both Colin and Max commented that over the years they saw African Lovegrass slowly creep up the highway and said that if they had had the poison that is available today back in the early days then they may have been able to contain African Lovegrass as everybody was having a go. Colin noted that after a series of drought years, African lovegrass would spring up in places where it had not been before following the first decent rains. Both Jack and Colin remarked that at the end of the 1980s, drought saw African Lovegrass take off again. Jack said that serrated tussock is easy to control compared to African lovegrass. All these men stated that it was the worst weed that they had had to deal with in their farming life. Max observed his father putting days and days into trying to control African Lovegrass before chemicals were made available, to the point that it worried him no end. Jack said they wore out a lot of mattocks over the years trying to beat African Lovegrass. Jack’s advice to everyone is “if you see a small patch control it today, don’t leave it until tomorrow”. Colin offered the same advice to everyone with small infestation of African lovegrass - “Get on top of it early because if you don’t it will take over and leave you with very few other grass species”. Max’s last comment “tell the people with only a small amount to get rid of it before it is too late as there is no going back once African Lovegrass takes over”

Land management forum Farmers and other interested parties are being urged to attend a forum to discuss how best to balance agricultural production and sustainable management on the high-value land of the mixed farming zone of the South West Slopes of NSW. The Eastern Riverina Landcare Network (ERLN) is hosting the free forum on Thursda June 24 at the Henty Community Club, from 9 am 3.30 pm. The forum - Sustaining production and the environment: Can we achieve both? - will present achievements on three very different mixed farms after 21 years of Landcare. It is part of a two-year project

funded under the Federal Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) Caring for our Country Program. The ERLN and the EH Graham Centre for Agricultural Innovation, based at Wagga Wagga, have collaborated under this project to identify the most economic enterprise combinations for farmers of the mixed farming zone, in the context of responsible land management. Guest speaker Dr Sue McIntyre, from CSIRO’s Sustainable Ecosystems, will give an ecologists’ view of how effectively natural resource management (NRM) and production have been integrated in the local landscape.

New 1080 and Pindone course makes baiting easier The Livestock Health and Pest Authorities State Management Council has developed a new shorter training course which will allow landholders to use 1080 and Pindone baits on their properties. Funded and approved by the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW), LHPAs across the state are now offering a threehour course to give landholders a clear understanding of 1080 and Pindone use and their legal obligations. LHPA pest and TSR policy officer, Tim Seears believes that the new course will see an increased use of 1080 and Pindone baiting to control pest animals, especially by small landholders as part of larger group programs. “The 1080 Pest Control Order (PCO) gazetted in 2008 restricted the supply of 1080 to persons holding a minimum AQF3 chemical accreditation – many landholders failed to meet this requirement. “As a result, participation in 1080 baiting programs reduced by as much as 85 percent in some districts, so the LHPA State Council and DECCW have developed this alternate training course to increase participation in control programs.” Mr Seears says landholders should be aware that this new training course doesn’t replace the AQF chemical application courses,

which remain a requirement for use of any other pesticide. “The Pesticides Regulation 2009 has been amended so that successful completion of this course will allow the use of 1080 and Pindone baiting in NSW, but for access to any other pesticide (such as Roundup or Grazon) a minimum AQF2 certification is required.” The new training course will be delivered by LHPA rangers and will cover topics such as baiting techniques, toxicity, storage, transport, legislation and OH&S. Those completing the course will be issued a certification card and will remain accredited to use 1080 and Pindone for five years. As an introductory offer in the South East LHPA, ratepayers will receive a 50 percent discount on the standard $44 fee. For nonratepayers the course will cost $44 – a significant saving on the full AQF3 course. Courses will be held on July 6, in Bega, July 8 in Bombala, July 13 in Cooma and July 15 in Braidwood. Other courses will be run as required. Any landholder interested in attending the training courses should contact the Bombala office on (02) 6458 3055 for further details.

30 Grassroots State Budget ignores food security The NSW Farmers’ Association says the NSW Government has failed to invest in rural NSW in last week’s budget, with the exception of some minimal expenditure in rural health and the Hume Highway. NSW Farmers’ Association President Charles Armstrong says the Association is extremely concerned about cuts to research, development and extension services (R, D and E), especially when food security is such a major issue. “The NSW Government today had a chance to help NSW farmers lead the way in securing our role in meeting the global food crisis, and the failure to do this will have wide ramifications,” Mr Armstrong said. “The Government is very aware that currently every Australian farm business feeds 600 people every year; 150 domestically and 450 overseas and that this needs to increase by 70 percent by 2050 to meet the global food crisis,” he said. “Yet today’s Budget sees a cut of 31 percent in capital expenditure, and 10 percent in total expenditure in R, D and E, which absolutely decimates our capacity to meet this challenge,” he said. The Association had called for significant investment in food

security and climate change, rural transport and infrastructure and rural services. “Essentially, this Budget has ignored these key areas for rural and regional NSW,” Mr Armstrong said. “There is no money for helping farmers to adapt and manage climate change, or for meaningful water initiatives. “While the Government claims a large percentage of the roads budget is for regional and rural NSW, we’d argue that it’s mostly spending for up and down the coast, with the exception of $330 million for the Hume Highway. “There is nothing to reflect the need for more money for rural infrastructure, and no sign of money to secure the Government’s response to the NSW Grain Freight Review.” The NSW Farmers’ Association acknowledges spending in rural health, specifically for the first stages of new hospitals for Wagga and Tamworth. “However we are concerned that these announcements clearly show a massive gap between spending in urban areas and that in rural NSW,” Mr Armstrong concluded.

Beware of strangles in south east Horse owners are urged to keep an eye out for the respiratory disease strangles and report all suspect cases, following a number of recent infections on properties around the Illawarra district. Industry & Investment NSW (I&I NSW) deputy chief veterinary officer, Ian Roth, said strangles infections have been confirmed over the past few days in horses at Kembla Grange, Albion Park and further north at Denham Court. “At this stage only a small number of affected properties have been reported in the Illawarra area, however there may be other cases in the district,” he said. “Strangles is a notifiable disease, so suspect cases must be reported to I&I NSW – even though no quarantine is imposed on i n f e c t e d properties. “ T h e notification is to protect export markets as some countries require certification that exported horses are not from a recently infected property. “I urge all horse owners with suspicions of strangles in any horses to let us know immediately. “You can do this by contacting your local LHPA, calling I&I NSW, or by downloading a Notifiable Animal Disease form from the I&I website and sending the completed form by email to biosecurity@dpi.nsw.gov.au or fax to 6361 9976. “Organisers of events where horses may congregate should also be alert for signs of

strangles, such as swollen lymph nodes, coughing, nasal discharge and fever. “Sick horses will need to be sent home immediately and contaminated stables and equipment will need to be disinfected.” Mr Roth said strangles was a respiratory disease spread mainly by contact with nasal discharges or pus from sick horses. “It does not spread long distances in the air like equine influenza, so your horse is unlikely to become infected by airborne spread unless it is within coughing distance of an infected horse,” he said. “Strangles bacteria may remain viable for many months once in the soil or on contaminated clothing or equipment, so good hygiene is very important. “Horses can also continue to spread the disease for some time after recovery. “Vaccination is available to protect against strangles, but it may be too late for effective vaccination in the face of an outbreak, as three doses of vaccine are required initially for adequate immunity. “Horse owners should consult their veterinarian for advice on vaccination and treatment.” For further information horse owners should refer to the two Prime facts “Strangles” and “Stop the spread of horse diseases” that can be found at http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/agriculture/livestock/ horses/health

Spencer’s day in the High Court Shannon’s Flat farmer, Peter Spencer, will have his day in the High Court this week. Mr Spencer, who has been fighting what he claims are unfair laws relating to land ownership, recently spent 52 days in a hunger strike, on a tower on his property. Since coming down from the tower, Mr Spencer has been on a speaking tour. The Full Bench of the High Court will be hearing Peter’s application for leave to appeal on Wednesday June 16 and Thursday June 17, in Canberra. Peter would sincerely appreciate as many supporters as possible attending the court hearing

on one of these two days so as to send a clear message, leave to appeal must be granted. Everyone that would like to attend should meet at Magna Carta Place, by 9am. Court starts at 9.30am. The plan is to hopefully have the numbers to fill the Court room gallery to standing room only. Everyone with protest t-shirts and other protest clothing must take a shirt to cover up as security will not let them into the court with protest gear on. For more information about the day at the High Court, please contact Alastair McRobert any time on 0438-930-239

Young leads Bradley Trophy Cooma golf with Max Turner Seven-marker Steve Young after shooting a 41 Stableford pts round has a narrow one stroke lead after round one of the Brad Bradley Trophy which was played on Saturday. Steve leads on 41 pts from Dominic Rossi on 40 pts closely followed by Neil Venables on 39, Nick Massari on 38, Bart Joseph, Malcolm Barnes and Bill Dyball all on 37 pts. Full results of Saturday’s trophy winners are: Steve Young A Grade with 41 pts, A Grade runner-up Bart Joseph 37 pts. Nick Massari ran out the B Grade winner with 38 pts on a countback from a visiting player David Sims from the Mollymook Club who claimed second place Dominic Rossi continued his recent good form with a round of 40 pts to win the C Grade Division from Neil Venables on 39 pts. Saturday Ball Competition winners were Malcolm Barnes and Bill Dyball 37, Brian Pearson, David Freimanis, Bob Ashcroft,

Tony Monday, and David Ware 36, Leigh Edwards (Taree) David Robinson, and Clint Taunton 35 pts. Saturday’s Nearest the Pin winners were Steve Young and Matthew Hanna. The Long Drive winners were Phil Patricks A Grade, Paul Crocker B Grade, and Tim Dorahy C Grade. The highlight of Sunday’s Super Stableford and the District Stableford Championship which was played in conjunction with the Super Stableford was the round shot by David Sims. David, an ex-member of the Cooma Club now playing at Mollymook, shot a great round of 47 Stableford points finishing his round with 15 pars in a row for his 47 points which gave him victory in the B Grade Division. Runner-up to David was Charlie Beaumont on 40 pts. Brian Turner came home strongly with 24 pts on the back nine holes to win the A Grade Division with 39 pts from Trevor Bailey on 33 pts. Greg Abraham played a steady round to win the C Grade Division with 34 pts from

Cooma- Marist one-all draw It was good weather in Canberra as both teams arrived at Marist College playing fields, both undefeated to date and with the Cooma and Marist Premier League alliance it was almost a case of rivals under the same flag. The game started with Cooma doing a shade better with possession and control and were certainly challenging the Marist goal a number of times although no result until the 19th minute when Ben Scott managed to fight his way through two Marist defenders and the goalkeeper to place the ball in the back of the net giving Cooma a one nil lead. This lead did not last long however and four minutes later Marist pushed forward and managed an equaliser thanks to a lapse of concentration on Cooma’s part. Marist striker O’Leary took full advantage and made no mistake and shot the ball past Cooma’s keeper Cody Nash and the score was one all. The game lost momentum after that and both teams must have decided to relax and take things easy with Marist doing a little better, and although Cooma’s lack of concentration continued Marist strikers did not take advantage of this and could not get through. On occasions when

they did managed to get through the defence and take shots at the goal Cooma’s goalkeeper Cody Nash was more than up to the task to keep the ball out of the net demonstrating a couple of brilliant saves. The game continued at this pace well into the second half and although a number of substitutions were made on both sides nothing much changed. With 10 minutes to go Cooma players must have decided they do want to win, increasing the pressure in an effort to get a winning goal, an opportunity presented itself to Cooma’s Jason Brooks playing in a new unfamiliar position of right side striker but unfortunately he placed the ball a millimetre or two above the crossbar. With the empty goal begging, Cooma continued to apply pressure this time through Jake Schoon on left field lobbing the ball to Kieren Hovasapian who managed a header pass to the six yard area. Unfortunately Cooma could not get the ball down and it went harmlessly over the crossbar. The final attempt came from Jake Schoon again from the left side but lady luck was still smiling at Marist and this time the ball went wide and the match ended one all draw. All things considered it probably was the fairest result.

Dieter Seubert on 33 pts. Sunday’s Nearest the Pin winners were Terry Johnston on the ninth green and Phil Patricks on the 17th. Long Drive recipients were Terry Johnston A Grade, Nick Massari B Grade, and Phil Amey C Grade John Harris played another fine round of golf in the chilly conditions last Wednesday to win the Stableford Competition with 40 pts. Second place went to Bart Joseph with 39 pts, closely followed by Malcolm Crockett on 38 pts which gave him the third placed prize. Wednesday’s ball competition winners were Jacob Levy, Brian Turner, Gordon Weston 37, Heikki Evans 36, Charles Quodling 35, Geoff Glanville 34, along with Bruce Burton on 33 pts.

Coaches Walker and Knight emphasised the positives during the break, and the Tigers came out firing. Daniel Walker, on loan from fifths for the week, delivered one of his trademark crosses straight on to the boot of the marauding Riley Mitchell, who side-footed neatly into the back of the net. This capped an outstanding game for the youngster, asked to play in a new role on the wing. More chances were created, mainly through the ‘never-give-up’ attitude the players adopted. Ovi Boaru, Gerard Rampal, and Ben Lollback all came tantalisingly close to grabbing Cooma’s second. Unfortunately, it was Belnorth that were next to score; a headed goal sealing the victory. To Cooma’s credit, they didn’t give up, and Brendan Bogatek’s persistence caused mayhem in the box for the home team and led to a comical own-goal. Man-of-the-match was the consistent Andrew Jeffrey; asked to play several positions he excelled in all of them. Nigel Smith, Daniel Walker, and Riley Mitchell were the other stand-out players on the day, although, in all honesty the awards could have gone to any of the thirteen players that took the field.

Fourths go down to table topping Belnorth In what was certainly their best performance of the season so far, the Cooma Tigers state league four side lost to table topping Belnorth 4-2 on Saturday afternoon. The game started positively for the Tigers; their hunger and desire was evident as they got first to the ball and controlled the play for long spells. The midfield of Rampal, Burke, Lollback, and Mitchell were causing Belnorth all sorts of problems, and some good openings were carved out for the Tigers. The new look strike partnership of Brendan Bogatek and Ovi Boaru had pace and muscle. As has been the case all season, though, momentary lapses in concentration and unlucky bounces proved the downfall of Cooma. Belnorth took the lead after cleaning up the rebound from a fiercely struck free kick. The second goal arrived shortly after, when a blocked clearance fell kindly to the Belnorth striker, who stroked it home confidently. By half-time the Tigers were 3-0 down, but morale was high because the performance was so good. Belnorth, despite the scoreline, were rattled and were beginning to lose composure as the half ended.

Injured fifths hold on for draw Cooma Tigers state league fove were home to a tough Narrabundah team on Saturday. Both Teams were evenly placed on the table, so the boys knew it was going to be a big game. A win would have put them top four in their division, so they were up for the challenge. From the start both teams were evenly matched. Paul Lawson dominated the midfield, as did Ben Baker in defence. It didn’t take Cooma long to go ahead; 10 minutes in Cameron Wall broke the

defence and placed the ball around the opposition goalkeeper. Narrabundah came firing back and not long after evened the score. Just before half time Cooma’s defence was hit hard when Steven Murphy went down with a game-ending injury. In the second half both teams fought it out, both unable to capitalise on their chances, ending the game in a 1 all draw. A fair result for a Cooma team missing some key players.

Cooma Rifle Club Cats’ future shining bright at Snowy Oval Shooters who turned up on the Cooma rifle range last Saturday were wishing that they had stayed home by the fire.

Next Saturday morning it will be back to 300yds for heat two of the June spoon competition.

The future of the Cooma Cats is brighter than ever before following the official “switching on” of the club’s new lights at Snowy Oval. After almost 30 years of making do with limited lighting, the Monaro and Snowy Mountains own AFL club has just completed an 18-month labour of love to get new, additional lights installed at Snowy Oval for the benefit of all community users. Cats’ lighting project director Ian Tucker said the turning on of the new lights for the first time earlier this month was a very satisfying moment for everyone associated with the club. “Just to see the faces of the guys when they arrived at training and then to hear their comments on the difference the lights made was a great reward for everyone involved in the project,” Mr Tucker said. The club has been determined to upgrade the Community power – the new lights are installed at Snowy Oval thanks to the lights at Snowy Oval for several years as part efforts of the Cooma Cats’ AFL Club and local tradesmen, businesses and of a campaign to improve players’ safety and council support. training conditions. “So about 18 months ago we just decided “Everyone at the Cooma Cats is extremely grateful for the to do it, and after much hard work, we can now see it their support of all these organisations and individuals for their installation as a major milestone for the club and a benefit for support without which the project would not have been everyone in the community who uses the oval,” Mr Tucker possible,” he said. said.

Triathlon fun success at the bowlo The Bowling Club hosted a triathlon event at the club on Sunday. About 30 players took part and accepted the challenge of competing in the disciplines of darts, pool and bowls over the course of the day. The eventual winners after a playoff were Richard Nichols and Terry Croker. The participants certainly enjoyed themselves and a fun day was had by all. The club openly supports days like this and more of these are planned for the future, to be involved talk to Col Roberson, Terry Croker or Col Stewart. The Minor singles competition continues with two games completed on Saturday afternoon. Peter Harris used all his guile and experience to outlast comparative newcomer Mario Frezza to the tune of 31 to 19. Mario, while new to the game, has been getting a bit of a reputation for the way he has come on and he certainly gives his all in every game. That Mario was only ahead on five of the 30 ends played indicates a pretty comprehensive victory to Peter. Peter will now move on to play another of the Italian connection in Peter Marsicano. In the other game Geoff Venables got off to a flyer in his match against Jack Sajina. After five ends Venables had opened up a 10 shot lead and maintained this advantage until the fourteenth end. Then Sajina commenced his charge winning fifteen of the next nineteen ends to completely reverse the situation. During this period Sajina scored a massive 24 shots to Venables five and he ran out the winner by 31 shots to 22. This was clearly a game of two halves with Venables dominating then Sajina coming home with a wet sail. Well done Jack. Three games of triples were played socially and some good games were had. Gayle Fitzgerald, Daphne Buckley and Guilio D’Amico were able to come from behind and then hold on for a close win over Mary

Phillips, Maureen D’Amico and Mark Buckley by 19 – 15. Lestelle Lodge, Lorraine West and Keith Goodwin trailed all the way and were defeated by Ron Wainwright, Leonie Snell and Don Jarvis by 21 15. I guess Don had them all in stitches with his jokes and they had trouble concentrating. The other game was a close encounter with Max Povey, Jim Fletcher and Paul Cannell playing Simon Schoon, Richard Nichols and Wayne Lodge. According to the card Cannell’s team defeated Lodge’s team by 18 – 16. However as the old saying goes a team is sometimes better off with a good scorer rather than a good player as was the case in this game. A check of the card reveals that Lodge’s team actually won the game by 21 -18. No doubt this slip of the pen will be accompanied by a fine yet to be decided. On Sunday two games of triples were played and the format changed somewhat with each player taking a turn at lead, second and skip. Mario Frezza, Jock Davidson and Keith Goodwin were too good for Ron Wainwright, Jim Fletcher and ark Buckley by 21 -12. In the other game Simon Schoon enjoyed himself with so much attention as he combined with Renate Winckel and Lorraine West to take on Lestelle Lodge, Daphne Buckley and Olga Jebbink. Unfortunately for Simon his team was not good enough on the day and Lestele, Daphne and Olga were much too consistent and ran out winners 30 – 17. Next Saturday play will continue in the Minor Singles competition and games will be played as follows: Col Cottam Vs Col Roberson, marker Bob Lowe Peter Marsicano Vs Peter Harris marker Mario Frezza Don Jarvis Vs winner Neil McGregor V Stumpy Wallis (played Monday) loser of this game to mark.

Director of the Kosciuszko Cross Country Ski School Zac Zaharias said that young skiers are keen to learn all disciplines and it is really encouraging to see how many juniors are developing as competent nordic skiers. “The local juniors program is an excellent opportunity for people from Cooma and the Snowy Mountains and the Coast to tap into professional instruction on offer through the Kosciuszko Cross Country Ski School.” “The Juniors Cross Country Ski School will be open from Saturday 3 July and will run for ten consecutive weeks and will include training and preparation for Interschools competitions.” “We hope also that local young people who would like to try cross country or build on their existing nordic classic & skate skiing will enrol in the ten week course,” he said. Acacia Rose also from the

KCCSS and K7 Adventures said “skiing is fun and our aim is to make cross country skiing affordable fun as well as developing real skills and competencies in local juniors.” “There is a load of talent in our community as evidenced by local skiers competing in state, national & international competitions and we aim to progress juniors from Interschools to the Olympics.” “K7 Adventures and the Kosciuszko Cross Country Ski School hopes to make it possible for more local young people to achieve their aim whether that is at a recreational, competitive or professional level.” “Cross Country skiing is also a brilliant overall fitness activity and as well as a sports discipline in itself, great cross training for young athletes.” Ms Rose said “the ten week Junior Cross Country Ski School Development Program will run every Saturday from 9 am - 3 pm with an hour’s lunch break at the Nordic Shelter.

Supercats make ACT AFL representative side The Snowy Supercats AFL team have had six boys selected from Cooma and Jindabyne to join the train on squad for the under 13’s and under 14’s ACT Cats AFL representative squads. The boys are Harrison Phillips, Kyle Hubert, Brandon Williams and Kyle Tucker all from Cooma and Lewis Foster and Brian Hukins from Jindabyne. The boys will be training with the squad from June 22 in Canberra at their training sessions through until August, when the final squad will be selected for the regional trials to form the ACT/South Coast Cats squad that will compete in the NSW State carnivals in Albury and Sydney respectively. The boys were nominated by their coach Martin Currie, AFL Development Officer Stuart Wood and the Cooma Cats Coaching Co-ordinator Damien Asanovski. Last year was the boys first

year of AFL football with the Snowy Supercats and they have showed through their games, training and attitude how much they have developed as players. Possibly even one day to take them to the top and play for the new AFL team Greater Western Sydney and Canberra or maybe the Sydney Swans. The Cooma Cats and Snowy Supercats would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the boys and wish them well with their representative duties and football careers.

Gronow grabs first SERAS Research make ski-slopes safer for kids scholarship

A happy Emma Gronow has won her first individual SERAS scholarship. Cooma football goalkeeper Emma Gronow, 16, accepted her first individual scholarship with the South East Regional Academy of Sport (SERAS) Country Energy Program in 2010. There are 19 athletes from across the south east region of NSW in 2010 who received scholarships in the Country Energy Program. The program provides all scholarship athletes with education, personal development and sports science as well as direct funding to support them in achieving excellence in their chosen sport. Last year, Emma had a highly successful year representing the ACT at the Westfield Junior U15 Nationals Championships. She was selected for the Capital Football High Performance Squad and competed for Belwest in the First Division Capital Football

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State League and the U18 Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Premier League. In March this year, Emma was the first goalkeeper named for the Far South Coast schoolgirls team and achieved her short term goal to play in the Capital Football Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Premier League, being goalkeeper for Brindabella. Country Energyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional general manager south eastern, Phillip Green, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Country Energy is delighted to continue its support of the SERAS program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are proud to be supporting such promising young athletes from the South East region. I believe the partnership of Country Energy and SERAS offers excellent opportunities to our communities and are a great way of supporting regional development.â&#x20AC;?

Congratulations to the Adaminaby team of Glenda Daal, Carol McMahon, Aylene Madden and Lyn McMahon on their great win at Tura Beach on Tuesday. They now go on to Tuncurry in September to represent the group Monday had to be cancelled because of the rain (much appreciated but not just that day) so the players in all teams agreed to play both games on the Tuesday. Adaminaby defeated Batemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay in the morning and then went on to defeat Merimbula in the afternoon. A

really successful day. Best wishes to you in the play-off in September. This means that Snowy Mountains now have two teams in the State play-off. Well done Cooma and Adaminaby !!! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget that the annual meeting of the district will be held at the Cooma Country Club at 11 am on Monday July 5. This will be followed by a shared luncheon. Also the umpireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discussion group will hold their next meeting at 9.30 am prior to the district AGM.

New research should make the slopes safer for kids.

As snow falls on the ski fields University of Canberra researchers are working to make the slopes safer for kids and snowboarders with two new projects starting this week in Canberra and the Snowy Mountains. Bringing together the University of Canberraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expertise in tourism, physiotherapy and industrial design, Dr Tracey Dickson, Dr Gordon Waddington and Mr Stephen Trathen, along with University of Sydneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roger Adams and Rick Greenwald from U.S. company Simbex, will use high-tech helmets specially fitted with accelerometers to measure the characteristics of head impacts in children while they practise more challenging snowsports this season. GPS devices carried by the children will allow the researchers to measure how fast they were going, how far and also measure their heart rates as well as any body impacts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If kids hit their heads, we want to understand what led up to the impact, such as: what were they doing, how fast were they going, and the duration, location and severity of the impact,â&#x20AC;? Dr Dickson, leader of the project called Investigating risk factors in paediatric snowsport injuries: Characterisation of head Impact, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This information will allow us to understand better what can be done to prevent the impact and any potential injuries in the first placeâ&#x20AC;?. The research, which is in its second year, is partially funded by the NSW Sporting Injuries Committee and partially through the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Institute of Sports Studies. The good news is that in the 50 or so â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;skier daysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of data collected last year there were

no head impacts. There were falls, but none that resulted in a head impact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that head impacts are rare, and that helmets can help prevent head injuries, but the more important message is that people need to ski and board within their skill and experience levels, and this will help reduce the potential for falls in the first placeâ&#x20AC;? said Dr Dickson. The second project, entitled: An investigation into the effectiveness of wrist guard use in upper limb injury prevention in snow sports will look at how wrist guards protect, relocate or contribute to snowboarding injuries. In this case, the multi-disciplinary team will establish themselves at the medical centre for four weeks and will look at the wrist guards being used by people coming in with wrist injuries. The researchers will assess the design of the wrist guards, X-rays and the diagnosis of the injury to help determine whether wrist guards are protecting the individual or not, which of these are doing so, and also if they are moving the injuries to the upper part of the limbs, as some might suggest. It is planned to collect comparative data in a Victorian resort over the same period. These projects are part of a larger research agenda that aims to gather empirical data that will help people make informed decisions about their preparation before going skiing or snowboarding, behaviours on the slopes, and when and how participants use protective equipment in snowsports.

Junior Stallions to visit Fiji Two Cooma Stallions under 18 players are off to Fiji as part of the Country Rugby League South Coast Academy squad. On September 19, Ryan Stores and Zach Smith will leave on a seven-day tour which includes visiting local schools and distributing school items and footy gear. They will also be welcomed into a village as a team and introduced to the chief with a kava ceremony. After settling in the boys will play games against local village teams before heading to the capital, Suva and playing in a round robin carnival against teams from all over Fiji. This should be a great experience for all concerned. The football is tough and the mateship is priceless. The Cooma Stallions wish both boys all the best for the rest of the season and have a great time in Fiji.
