Snowy River GP superclinic development Member for Eden-Monaro, Mike Kelly, officially launched the development of the Snowy River GP Superclinic on Friday October 21 at a function in Jindabyne hosted

by Snowy River Shire Council for medical and health practitioners and other guests.

Dr Kelly spoke about the amazing health care providers, and the passionate local groups resulting in unprecedented funding into the area that included the Snowy Hydro water releases, $300,000 into the Shared Mill Creek Trail and $5 million for the Superclinic. The latter brought about by special circumstances of Jindabyne with its winter population surge issues and residential growth.

He intended to seek additional funding from the State Government for the expanded health clinic which will take the health services to a new level.

The Federal Department of Health and Ageing’s $5 million grant to Snowy River Shire Council will make a significant contribution to the construction of this new facility. Council resolved to contribute by donating land for this purpose. The site selected lies at the western end of the Thredbo Terrace car park.

The GP Superclinic, scheduled for completion by the end of December 2013, will provide a major boost to regional health delivery by addressing the critical shortage of spaces for existing health services. It will also support the growth of health services, including preventative healthcare

programs, increasing the number and diversity of services available to residents in the region. Importantly, the facility will be unique to this area, designed and built to meet the specific needs of the Snowy River community.

Snowy River Shire Council general manager, Joe Vescio, said the launch is an important step in achieving improved health services in the Snowy River region. “Residents have advocated for many years for improved health services.

The concept of a ‘one stop shop’ for integrated health services in Jindabyne is something people have been working towards for a long time. This new facility will help realise these plans”.

Mr. Vescio acknowledged the work of Cr Neen Pendergast OAM and health advocate Bruce Hodges in bringing about the Superclinic facility.

The Snowy River GP Superclinic will bring together local general practitioners, health practitioners, nurses, visiting medical specialists, and other healthcare providers to meet residents’ needs, as prioritised by the community. The facility will also help the area attract a range of specialist services and will support training for health professionals by strengthening relationships with university medical schools and health science faculties.

Health education will also be a strong feature of the GP Superclinic.

Mr Vescio then announced that the Expression of Interest/ Tender process to appoint an architect and interior designer will commence on October 21. Over the following six months, Council will be working

with the successful architect, health professionals, stakeholders, and the community to finalise the design of the GP Superclinic and establish a governance model. The December 2013 completion date will ensure that the GP Superclinic will be up and running well before the 2014 ski season.

Health services advocate Mrs Margot Flynn said the onestop shop would be a not-for-profit service with all profits being put back into the staffing of the clinic.

Cr Pendergast happily commented, “At last it’s happened. I’m so excited and the next big thing will happen when the Superclinic opens its doors. I have been working since 1964 towards the establishment of afterhour medical services. Prior to ‘64, Jindabyne always had a bush nurse who was available at any hour.”

Sing Your Own Messiah Local photographers’ awards Have you ever wanted to sing the Hallelujah Chorus? Well, you’ll have the chance on November 12 when the Snowy Monaro Arts Council and Robert Shearer present “Sing Your Own Messiah”.

Handel’s Messiah will be performed

by Elizabeth Shearer – Soprano, Bronwyn Douglas - Mezzo Soprano, Robert Shearer – Tenor, and Joshua Bourke bass.

The performance will feature a dedicated local chamber music group headed by Jarka Wichta and the indefatigable Glenyss Allen on piano, conducted by Rodney Clancy.

But it’s the choruses that provide the fun part. Anyone is invited to join in - and it will be cheaper to sing than to be in the audience. For just $10.00 (and bring a supper plate) you can join the chorus!

Snowy Monaro Arts Council is hoping to attract singers from Cooma, Jindabyne, Bombala and even from down the coast. After all, as the words

of one of the Arias say, “Get thee up to the high mountain”.

There will be practices in Cooma on Monday October 31 and Monday November 7 for those wanting to have a run-through before the day. These are optional but a compulsory all-day rehearsal will be held on November 12, prior to the performance at 7:00pm. The choir will be given a two and a half hour break in the afternoon.

Organisers would like you to register immediately by sending an email to allan@coomamusic.com.au (copied to chris@coomalaw.com.au). More information is on www.coomamusic. com.au. The music is obtainable off the web, and there are even rehearsal tracks available.

The emphasis will be on participation and having fun, with the evening performance to top it off.

So, in the words of Handel’s Messiah itself, “Rejoice greatly” and remember, “The tongue of the dumb shall sing!”

Two local photographers, Narelle Allen and Zara Childs, have recently excelled in the “Bidgee from Behind the Lens” 2011 photographic competition.

Competitors were required to submit photography from around the Murrumbidgee Catchment area, which highlighted this year’s theme, “Beyond the Drought”.

This year, there were an astounding 275 entries.

“It [the competition] is one way of making people think about the environment,” Catchment Management Authority Chairperson, Lee O’Brien, said.

“It gives people an opportunity to appreciate the environment and to capture it.”

Narelle Allen has had an interest in photography since her teenage years. She has submitted various photography in past competitions with success, and this year she added to this list by receiving a highly

commended for her photo of “Rushing Water” taken near the Murrumbidgee pumping station in Cooma.

Zara Childs may be young but put a camera in her hands and she will wow you. Although a new thing to Zara, she and photography seem to make quite a match, also receiving a highly commended for her photo “Calm before the storm” taken on Old Mill Road.

After being displayed at the Henty and Murrumbateman field days, the winning works have made their way to Cooma and will be displayed in the Vin Good Memorial room at Monaro Regional Library until October 31. Everyone is welcome to visit during library opening hours to view the displays.

A 2012 calendar has been produced with the winning works and is free of charge. If you would like a copy of the calendar, give Felicity Collins a call on 6452 4150 or 0428 283 963.

Cooma-Monaro Shire Council is one of several NSW local governments which have been named in an enquiry by the Independent Committee Against Corruption (ICAC).

However, council’s general manager John Vucic, said council had been aware of the issue and acted some months ago.

ICAC is conducting an investigation into allegations that employees of 110 state and local council and the Roads and Traffic Authority, accepted benefits including gift cards and other items from companies in return for placing orders and continuing business relationships with these companies.

Mr Vucic said his investigations had revealed the possibility of a former staff member being involved, but that staff member was no longer in council’s employ and had moved interstate.

He said ICAC had not contacted him directly about these allegations, but he believed the matter had been resolved earlier this year.

He has also issued advice to staff about accepting gift cards or other incentives from suppliers.

Mr Vucic said councilors and staff were required to register gifts and/or donations made in the course of their business.

An ICAC report is expected soon.

Regional Programs Co-ordinator for Cancer Council NSW, Toby Dawson, presents a certificate to Bombala Shire Council’s general manager, Don Cottee.

Bombala Shire Council will receive a grant from the Cancer Council to promote healthy eating and active living in the community through a grant of over $6,000 as part of the Alive & Well initiative.

The grant will officially be handed to the council next week, but the project is already underway as part of the ‘Be Involved… Be Inspired’ campaign run by the council.

More than 40 councils applied for the grant, which aims to help councils lower the risk of cancer in their communities based on healthy ideas and initiatives.

“Bombala Shire Council was a successful applicant because it had taken a multifaceted approach to providing resources and information to local residents in the hope that one day, together, we may see cancer defeated,” said Regional Programs Coordinator for Cancer Council NSW, Toby Dawson.

The council plans to hold a ‘well being’

day, as well as install shade protection over playgrounds.

The most popular program so far has been the community garden, which is completely maintained by locals.

But Toby said it’s more than just a garden – it’s a bed of opportunities.

“The Council are providing every possible opportunity for local residents to get involved,” he said.

“They can learn how to lead a cancer-smart lifestyle, grow their own delicious fruit and vegetables and be a part of the wonderful Cathcart community.”

Workshops and activities are now a staple of community life in Bombala, with each event drawing in dozens of eager locals. So far, workshops have planted strawberries and herbs in the garden while teaching residents basic gardening tips so that they can grow their own organic gardens.

Open invitation to volunteer for railway care RailCorp’s Office of Rail Heritage and Conservation Volunteers Australia (CVA) would like to invite members of the community to join a team of volunteers in the Rail Heritage Care Program.

The team will restore the gardens of the Cooma Monaro Railway Station to their former glory. Volunteers will provide the necessary extra manpower to spruce up the yard, clearing weeds, plant garden beds – making a huge difference to the conservation of this rail heritage site.

In return for their valuable contribution, volunteers will have the oppourtunity to learn about and experience the rich history of the area.

“We are excited to be offering this project at Cooma Monaro Railway. The CMR team likes meeting and working with new volunteers, if you are enthusiastic about heritage and like working in a team - you’d be an asset to us!

Joining this CVA team is a wonderful way to meet some locals and learn about the history of Cooma, the heart of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric scheme”, Chairman of the Cooma Monaro Railway Mr James Sullivan, said.

The project will run from Monday October 24 through to Friday October 28. CVA team members will also have the added bonus experience of staying on site in the barracks where train crews use to spend the night. Volunteers will

be recruited from near and far, with Cooma locals being encouraged to join the team as well.

This project is funded by RailCorp’s Office of Rail Heritage as part of its strategy to support the sustainable management of the State’s rich rail heritage. It is facilitated

by Conservation Volunteers Australia.

The Rail Heritage Care Program provides opportunities for volunteers to assist on a number of rail conservation projects across NSW.

Pink ladies remind us to be mindful of breast cancer You don’t have to be old, feel sick, have pain or have a family history, breast cancer can strike anyone any age.

Liza Dyball who is 37 was diagnosed with breast cancer in July this year and Veronica Macklin who is 27 was diagnosed in December 2010.

Both women are young, and in Liza’s case have no family history of breast cancer. Liza led a healthy lifestyle; she was fit and is mum to two young children. She felt a lump in her breast and saw her GP, she was then sent off for a mammogram and ultrasound which both came back inconclusive. It was then she had a biopsy and discovered the terrible news that she did in fact have breast cancer.

Veronica said she found a lump in her breast after a shower one day; she too saw her GP and had surgery to remove the lump then chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Veronica finished her treatment three weeks ago and is now looking forward to getting on with her life.

Since Liza was diagnosed she has

had a mastectomy, reconstruction and is undergoing chemotherapy.

Liza said she has been fortunate during her treatment; she has had no sick days and still has energy to exercise. The only thing is she said “I have a tennis ball head now!”

Both these women were brave enough to give us a brief insight into their fight and with their help are trying to make other women on the Monaro aware that early intervention is vital.

Cooma is fortunate to have their own McGrath Foundation Breast care nurse; Bronnie Taylor and both ladies said Bronnie has been amazing during their journey. “After the diagnosis Bronnie was the next port of call,” Liza said. “She has an incredible amount of knowledge. She answered all our questions, there was not one she couldn’t answer.”

Cooma Hospital is also privileged to have their own oncology ward, where patients can be treated close to home and still be around their loved ones, unlike many other rural women who have to travel away from home for treatment.

They both said they would recommend talking to Bronnie to anyone, it’s not compulsory but she really puts your mind at ease and helps to dissipate your fears; she can be contacted through the hospital or community health.

Remember no lump belongs there, no lump is normal, so don’t make your lump become normal, have it checked out and be aware of your body as early intervention saves lives.

McGrath Foundation nurse Bronnie Taylor with breast cancer survivors Liza Dyball and Veronica Macklin with pink ladies at the Sharp and Vale Streets intersection in Cooma on Monday.

Pink ladies in Jindabyne A cluster of colourful Pink Ladies on Jindabyne’s roundabout at the intersection of Kalkite Street and Kosciuszko Road on Thursday October 20 between 8.30am and 3.30pm, increased community awareness of breast cancer and the benefits of early detection, as is the case in any form of cancer.

Ms Bronnie Taylor of the McGrath Foundation who organised the “gathering” told Monaro Post that she spent a long time trying to work with Jindabyne’s local government to ensure that the event of planting Pink Ladies could go ahead without a hitch.

She said she thought she had a clearance for it to go ahead and was somewhat surprised when a council employee arrived on the scene at 8.50am with orders to remove the offending Pink Ladies from the roundabout.

Following a mobile phone call to the powers that be, the matter was resolved and the Pink Ladies remained in situ on the roundabout until 3.30pm.

When Ms Helen Blackmore Lee arrived at 3.30pm to remove them, they were already picked and waiting in a cardboard box.

Later Ms Taylor reported that during the day both she and the Council received numerous phone calls from Jindabyne residents expressing the view that it

Pink Lady planters (L-R) Kirsti Dixon, Rosemary Paul, Bronnie Taylor and Helen Blackmore Lee was a great idea to have the Pink Ladies spreading the message of early cancer detection and the need for funding research.

Emergency services report Upholstery damaged The NSW Fire Brigade attended a fire in a boat parked in Bradley Street at about 10.20pm on Thursday night. It appeared the upholstery had caught alight, the fire was quickly contained and the only damage was to the boats upholstery.

Party extinguished On their way back to the station NSWFB officers noticed three fires at the bottom of Albert Street near the creek. Upon arrival officers were faced with a group of intoxicated adults who then proceeded to give the NSWFB officers a hard time. Police were called and the fires were extinguished.

Minor damage The RFS has also been busy with a grass fire on the side of the road in Delegate at approximately 6pm on Saturday. The cause of the fire is unknown and only minor damage occurred to a fence before the fire was extinguished.

Bike causes blaze A four-wheel bike was destroyed and about 10 hectares of grass pasture burnt out on Friday morning at Bobundra. It is believed the bike started the fire in the cured grass. The RFS is asking for people to make sure the under belly plates of their vehicles are clean as grass fires spread very quickly in this weather.

Lightning fire contained Lightning strikes caused a number of fires in the Kybeyan Valley on Sunday. The biggest was not detected until dark when the glow could be

seen. It burnt out approximately 10 acres and has now been contained and is being patrolled.

Unattended campfire causes havoc On Sunday at about 12.30pm a fire occurred at Plumbers Hill, Calabash, east of Colinton. It burnt out 300 acres with 26 people attending and using dozers to bring the fire under control.

It was brought under control overnight after a break was constructed and it is now contained with RFS patrolling and watching for spot fires. The cause is believed to have been from landowners leaving a campfire and returning to Sydney without extinguishing it properly.

CCTV catches crims A vehicle parked in the underground carpark below Coles was broken into at 2pm on Sunday October 23. Money, a phone and other items were stolen from the vehicle. Due to the good quality CCTV in the carpark police were able to identify two males breaking into the vehicle. The 41-year-old and 29-year-old males have been charged and will appear in court at a later date.

Break and enter Sometime overnight on October 22/23 the Food Factory in Sharp Street was broken into.

Items were taken and police enquiries are continuing.

Drug bust A search warrant was executed on a property in Cooma at 12.30pm on Thursday, October 20.

postman calls

The things they say – The Postman has been amused by recent comments by news readers on TV lately, surely just slips of the tongue, but funny anyway.

Like the presenter talking about the PM and her boyfriend having to leave The Lodge because it needed repair. He gave a few details, concluding with, “in any case, there is still an old boiler that has to go”. Recent opinion polls suggest he may be right.

Then there was the presenter on ABC, detailing the Queen’s visit to Canberra, which included, he said, a cruise on Lake Burley Griffin and a visit to a “flower show”.

The Postman is pretty certain the designers and organisers of Floriade consider their efforts are more than just a “flower show”.

There followed the news an Australian had been beaten in a Scrabble Tournament by a Kiwi. The Postman wants to know if they used the same version of Scrabble, because Kiwis seem to use much fewer vowels than we do.

Just like some countries give ‘z’ a onepoint value in Scrabble because, in their language, ‘z’ is as common as ‘e’ is in English.

But the language of rugby proved no barrier to the Kiwis on Sunday night, defeating the French by a very important, solitary point. It was a good game and one can only speculate how valuable holding the World Cup must be for the NZ economy and how good it could be for Australia, should we ever get the chance.

Now, it’s magpie season and for a few weeks protective magpie parents may become aggressive towards anyone (or thing) approaching their nest.

The Postman’s advice: try to avoid the area. If you live nearby, a token offering of food can sweeten their nature. If you MUST walk by, carrying an umbrella, or even holding a rolled up umbrella above your head can discourage swooping. But don’t ever, try to attack the birds. That just makes them REALLY cross. And magpies have long, long memories...

The Snowy River – a storm water drain?

Editor, What a magnificent sight it was to see all that water rushing out of Lake Jindabyne in a glorious spray to continue down the bed of the Snowy River as of days gone by! I am sure everyone who witnessed the high flows enjoyed the spectacle including the provisions made by Snowy Hydro for public viewing.

I am also sure many at Dalgety did reminisce and maybe some even felt quite poetic, thinking perhaps of “The Man from Snowy River” and the romance of earlier days when the Snowy really was a great river during the Springtime run off.

I can personally remember a big flood and the thunderous rumbling of the boulders in the bed of the upper Snowy River in 1954 before Guthega Hydro power station was commissioned. It was a mighty sight and sound to witness and to remember.

The present river flushing discharge of the order of 80,000 mega litres of water from Lake Jindabyne will be over by October 24 we are told. The Snowy Alliance applauds the present flow – by saying “it is great – but not enough.” Perhaps Dalgety residents would also love to see a continuation of higher Snowy flows.

Let us consider another view by looking at the broader perspective of that release which is a requirement set by NSW Office of Water on advice from the Snowy Scientific Committee. 80,000,000,000 litres of water – that is quite a lot of valuable water with a potential value of $20 million plus, (estimated value of lost generation extrapolated from the 2011 Snowy Hydro Ltd Financial Annual report.)

In 1954 I attended a public lecture at Sydney University given by Associate Commissioner Mr EL (Tony) Merigan and the Chief Investigation Engineer Mr Howard Dann – later to become Commissioner of SMHEA. Mr Merigan addressed his remarks to the progress on the Guthega project. Guthega Dam, tunnel and Power Station were all due to be commissioned in early 1955. It was fascinating in that the political pressure from NSW to complete Guthega P.S. was enormous and pressure continued throughout the scheme’s construction. It was necessary at the time to have a ship tied up and steaming at White Bay in Sydney harbour with generators connected into the grid to augment the electricity power supply system.

Mr Dann in his address outlined plans for the ongoing design and

construction of the Snowy Scheme and his lecture was enlightening as to what was visualised.

Mr Dann came from Victorian State Rivers & Water Supply Dept and was a senior member of the inter-States committee set up to investigate and report on the potential of the Snowy river Scheme before Federal legislation established the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Power Act. Mr Dann later joined SMHEA as Chief Investigations Engineer. It will be of interest to many that the Snowy Scheme was at this time visualised as consisting of 16 run of the river power stations. The design magic of the Snowy Scheme was yet to come when a small group of engineers sat around a desk and a question was raised “what if” we connected a tunnel here and another there and made Lake Eucumbene a central storage for the scheme.

It was a brilliant piece of lateral thinking finally resulting in seven power stations of higher than the previously envisaged capacity which has had a huge influence on the success of the Snowy Scheme as we see it today.

One particular sentence in Mr Dann’s address has remained in my memory over the intervening 57 years.

In outlining the plan to dam the Snowy River at Jindabyne he likened this to closing a large tap which would prevent the huge waste of water from the Snowy River from flowing out to the ocean. Instead the water would be diverted and used for power generation and for irrigation in the Murray River system.

He said beside normal riparian rights, there were no irrigation needs of note downstream of Jindabyne and the tributaries of the Snowy beyond Dalgety (which it is understood still provide over 50 percent of envisaged total Snowy flow) would be quite sufficient to satisfy the future needs of farmers and communities downstream. The benefits of diverting the Snowy water northward would be invaluable.

Some prophecy! It remains so to this very day in 2011.

Besides being an accomplished engineer the Commissioner Sir William Hudson was a visionary. In so many ways he was ahead of his time.

He set high standards, expected them to be maintained, he required the Scheme to be completed to a very tight schedule – on time, on budget. He succeeded on all counts.

NORFOLK ISLAND 24th March1st April 2012

Editor, Last week the Monaro Regional Library kindly allowed us to display a total of 120 rugs made by the many volunteers who either knit, crochet, patchwork or sew up squares.

It was a very colourful display and a credit to the dedicated and caring volunteers in the CoomaMonaro area who are concerned about homeless people in Australia and around the world.

The rugs have been packed in three large boxes for delivery to Wrap with Love depot in Alexandria.

Many people have made a big

effort as, not surprisingly, a lot of work is involved.

Our thanks to Lorrayne (Cooma Power Equipment), Jenny and John Evans (Snowliner Coaches) and Mark Revelant (Monaro Freight).

Once again Mark is transporting the boxes to Sydney free of charge.

And a special thanks to Barbara Rodwell, Judy Costello and friends, Marie Fletcher, Beryl Seears and Jan Gardiner.

The Snowy River – a storm water drain?

Continued from P8...

One of his often repeated sayings were “the Snowy Scheme must be built so as to be of maximum benefit to all Australians.”

This statement was at times contested – notably by Sir Thomas Playford who drove a hard bargain for South Australian water interests.

Among Sir William’s innovative instructions to staff, was his requirement that all engineers MUST understand what the scheme was all about and what the benefits to Australia were to be. He therefore made it a requirement that all engineers must visit the irrigation area and see for themselves what was being done there to maximise the use of controlled release of water through the trans-mountain tunnels, into dams and into the irrigation areas.

After visiting, we were all required to undertake some rostered Public Relations duties for particular visitors to explain the Snowy Scheme and its value to Australia. Yes we grumbled about what was diverting us from normal duties but we learned that our work was indeed only a part of a bigger picture for Australia.

Certainly recent experience with extended drought, together with a desire to protect all existing river systems has caused a change in public opinion towards managing riverine systems.

The natural demands of Australia’s higher population from 8 million in the 1950’s to the 22 million in 2011 require that we control, conserve and utilise water efficiently. The planning by Mr Dann in the 1950’s to divert Snowy water was sound at that time. It was good engineering and acceptable politically.

In today’s world what chance would there be of approving that decision, or indeed of building the Snowy Scheme? Of course the requirement of the Snowy Water Licence now binds Snowy Hydro to water releases as determined by NSW office of Water as previously stated.

Well dear readers what do you think? Does the present flushing release of water observe Sir William’s prime objective of maximising the value of water and power of the Scheme to all Australians?

Are the little frogs, mites and blackberry roots on the river banks happy now? Maybe, or was it a waste of water in lost generation, potentially worth $20 million (plus) and a significant loss of 80,000 mega litres to irrigation? We await with interest the Scientific Report following study of the benefits of flushing the Snowy River bed.

Alliance wants Snowy Scientific Committee re-established At a community meeting in Orbost, on the Snowy River in East Gippsland, held on Sunday October 16, Snowy River Alliance called for the immediate re-establishment of the Snowy Scientific Committee.

“The independent Snowy Scientific Committee has a pivotal role in advising the NSW Government on the environmental releases to the Snowy River and other rivers affected by the Snowy Scheme,” Chairperson of Snowy River Alliance, John Gallard, said.

“The Scientific Committee’s first three-year term expired in May this year and despite a commitment at the time from the NSW Minister for Energy Chris Hartcher and Minister for Primary Industries (Water) Katrina Hodgkinson, the Committee has still not been re-established,” Mr Gallard said.

“It is disgraceful that the failure of the NSW and Victorian Governments to re-establish the Scientific Committee in a timely manner has resulted in no Scientific Committee being present to oversee the biggest environmental releases to the Snowy River since Jindabyne Dam was

completed in 1967.”

“The three shareholder governments of Snowy Hydro Ltd: Victoria, NSW and the Commonwealth have contributed $425 million of taxpayers money to increase environmental flows to the Snowy River and other rivers affected by the Snowy Scheme,” Mr Gallard said. “Yet we now have no Snowy Scientific Committee to provide advice to the NSW Office of Water on how to deliver the increased flows to achieve the greatest environmental benefit.”

“The Snowy Scientific Committee should be already beginning to prepare the 2012-13 environmental flows release recommendations, which in previous years have been developed under an extremely tight schedule, to be ready by January next year.”

“The establishment of the Snowy Scientific Committee is required by the NSW Snowy Hydro Act,” Mr Gallard said. “The Scientific Committee is crucial to the restoration of the Snowy River and it must be immediately re-established.”

Jindabyne’s mill creek shared trail

Charlie Litchfield speaks at the opening of the Mill Creek Shared Trail which has been an idea for a long time but only in the last couple of years has been realised through the passionate community with vision and energy, support from governments and money.

The Jindabyne community supported vision to see a shared trail network around Lake Jindabyne is being realised with the official opening of the 3.5km Mill Creek Shared Trail.

The trail was officially opened by Member for Eden-Monaro, Mike Kelly on Friday October 21 at the trail head located on Rainbow Drive in Tyrolean Village.

The trail was constructed due to the support of the Federal Government Jobs Fund program to the tune of $300,000. Additional support was provided by the State Government, Snowy Hydro, Snowy River Shire Council, Lions, community members and mountain bike enthusiasts.

The well formed trail links Tyrolean Village with Jindabyne and complements the existing Jindabyne Shared Trail Network that extends from Banjo Paterson Park through to Curiosity Rocks on the western side of Snowline Holiday Park.

The trail provides residents and visitors the

ability to walk or ride between the Jindabyne Dam Wall and Tyrolean Village and offers some spectacular views of Lake Jindabyne. The gradient will allow 80 percent of the community to enjoy it. It will eventually become part of a walking trail from Thredbo to the coast.

The opening was hosted by the Jindabyne Shared Trail Committee that is a Section 355 Committee of Snowy River Shire Council and was an opportunity to thank the many people involved in the design and construction.

The committee are now busy working in conjunction with the Jindabyne Chamber of Commerce to apply for $100,000 funding as part of the Community Building Partnership program to construct the trail between the Jindabyne Dam Wall and the town.

The trail network, being constructed in stages, is set to become a world class tourism asset to Jindabyne.

GARAGE SALE SIGNS ON ROUNDABOUTS ARE NOT PERMITTED

Now that spring has returned, the number of garage sales is increasing. Council reminds that it is illegal to place signs on roundabouts to promote local garage sales and events.

Council must take a firm stand because: • The practice of people getting to and from roundabouts is dangerous; • The medium used to stick the signs on road signs damages the signs and they need to be replaced at a cost to the community; • The signage can divert motorist’s attention from driving safely and managing the traffic and pedestrian issues which congregate at the roundabouts; and • The signs are ugly, untidy and present a poor image of Cooma to visitors. Often they are not taken down.

There are numerous opportunities for promotion of sales and events through local newspapers, radio stations and community notice boards and if there are special community events that require signposting then Council must be contacted to ensure there is effective communication about directions and proper safety precautions taken.

The fine for depositing advertising material in or on a public place (Section 146A of the POEO Act) is $200 for an individual and $400 for a corporation.

U3A discussion on organ donation

The University of the Third Age continues to be implemented, and Discussion group will learn we continue to normalise organ and about organ donation and tissue tissue donation as part of end of life replacement at its meeting this Friday, October 28.

Guest speaker at the meeting will be Allison Schiscbhka, “Donatelife Act Educator” from Canberra.

The meeting will be held at 2.15pm at the Conference Room, Werri-Nina Centre, Sharp Street, Cooma.

Australia’s official organ donation and transplantation outcomes are at the highest levels since national records began, Parliamentary Secretary for Health and Ageing, Catherine King, announced.

At the end of September 2011, a total of 763 Australians have received life-saving transplants year-to-date from 254 deceased organ donors.

The outcomes represent a 12 percent increase in the number of transplant recipients and an 11 percent increase in the number of deceased organ donors compared with the same period in 2010. As at end September 2010, there were 683 transplant recipients and 228 deceased organ donors.

“The September year to date donation and transplantation outcomes build on the achievements realised in 2010, the first full year of implementation of the National Reform Agenda,” Ms King said.

In 2010, Australia achieved its highest organ donation and transplantation outcomes since national records began.

“It is greatly encouraging that Australians are increasingly discovering the facts about organ and tissue donation, making informed donation decisions and sharing those decisions with family members,” Ms King said.

“As the National Reform Agenda

decision-making, we would hope to see family consent rates increase resulting in increased donation and transplantation outcomes.

“In Australia less than 2% of all deaths are in circumstances where potential organ donation is even possible. This is why it is so important for all Australian families to be prepared by making and sharing informed donation decisions.

“In time we expect to see an increase in Australia’s national family consent rate, which is currently less than 60 percent.

“This will be achieved as more Australians ask and know the donation wishes of family members so that they are prepared to confirm the wishes of loved ones if and when the situation arises.

“Families can be confident that they will be supported by specialists in organ donation who have been trained in requesting family consent in sensitive and traumatic circumstances,” Ms King said.

In 2010, Australia achieved a 25 percent increase in the number of deceased organ donors and a 17 percent increase in transplant recipients compared with 2009, with 309 deceased organ donors resulting in life-saving and life-improving transplants for 931 Australians.

A recent independent Mid Point Implementation Review Report on the National Reform Agenda’s implementation indicated that Australia’s progress equals or betters that seen in other nations at an equivalent stage in the reform journey.

Blatantly Honest Property Investment Timing – a Golden Key I mentioned in last weekʼs guide how many experts and economist believe now is a great opportunity in time to invest in Australiaʼs Property Market.

For safe, secure, affordable, and successful property investments there are 7 golden keys and one of the crucial keys is timing.

WHY: Timing is a “must” to capitalise on the property cycle of any specific location at any certain time. What I mean by that is if you purchase property at the bottom of a property cycle you will gain maximum capital growth. With that growth you can utilise the equity to duplicate sooner. Using the equity for the deposit and costs to purchase your next property to build a portfolio and get the power of compounding capital growth working for you, Einstein once said compounding capital growth was the eighth wonder of the world!

Simply - compounding capital growth is growth on growth.

Sadly too many Australianʼs approx 65% invest at the top of the property cycle after they have heard how others have done well. With just one property this could mean $100,000 to $200,000 plus in lost equity in only 2 or 3 years and over a 10 year period it could be the difference of being able to own six houses (investing passively) or to be only able to purchase two houses. The financial difference between having six properties Vs two properties in rent return (Cash Flow) and compounding capital growth (security and freedom) is seriously a lot of money. A single mum thought she couldnʼt invest, when she learnt how to buy wholesale, she bought property in Melbourne in 2007 at the start of the cycle and now she is looking to buy her 4th property.

So there is no doubt timing is crucial for success. With the current Govt boosts and incentives $10,000 to $95,000 available only until 2012, with the resource boom and many other factors that we touched on last week now is a unique time to invest in property.

If you would like to read and learn more on timing and Govt Boosts and incentives please visit prosperitygroup.com.au\monaropost. Or call me for a chat 64526957 Have an excellent day!

Pictured at Severn Park last Wednesday are, SRS CEO Ian Smith, buyer Rick Hain, Elders Cooma manager Rob Nicholl and Charlie Massy.

In only its second year, the SRS® Monaro Ram Sale at ‘Severn Park’, Cooma, reached an amazing $6,600 for the top priced ram and saw the overall sale average increase by 30 percent to $1,471.

Buyers travelled from as far afield as Tasmania, Victoria and Northern NSW to snap up 67 of the 70 elite Merino and Poll Merino rams on offer from eight leading SRS® studs.

This continues the strong demand trend for truly all-purpose Merinos which are highly profitable, low maintenance and extremely fertile.

The top priced ram, which smashed the previous sale record, was sold by Trevor and Sarah Ryan of Richmond Merinos, Quandialla, NSW, to the Crawford family of Wallendbeen, NSW. The Mumblebone Merino Stud of Wellington had the highest sale average of $1,740 which was up $300 on 2010.

SRS® Monaro Ram Selling Group President, Trevor Ryan, said he couldn’t be happier with the sale result.

“To average close to $1500 and attract buyers from three States in only our second year, it is obvious that the SRS® Monaro is building a reputation for delivering elite SRS® Genetics that perform,” Mr Ryan said.

“Buyers really appreciate the fact that all of the SRS® Monaro studs work together to identify genetics ‘fit for purpose’ with the majority of sale rams displaying Australian Sheep Breeding Values (ASBVs).”

“We also adhere to a strict code of ethics in terms of how we do business which gives commercial sheep producers piece of mind when buying our rams. To put it simply, success breeds success,” Mr Ryan added.

The eight member Studs of the SRS® Monaro Ram Selling Group are: Bella Lana – Scott and Anna Brien, Wellington.

Blyth – Ron Blyth, Adelong.

Boxleigh Park – Bruce, Geoff and Hugh Taylor, Wellington.

Glenwood – Norm and Pip Smith, Wellington.

Mumblebone – Chad and Lou Taylor, Wellington.

Parkdale – Don, Pam, Scott and Robert Mudford, Dubbo.

Richmond – Trevor and Sarah Ryan, Quandialla.

Sherwood – Henry and Julia Bridgewater, Nimmitabel.

Merino genetic comparison trial starts on the Monaro The Monaro Farming Systems (MFS) Merino genetic comparison trial kicked off on Monday October 17 at “Knockalong”, Tombong.

This trial is hoped to reinvigorate objective measurement of several bloodlines across the Monaro and Yass regions with this being the first wether trial for several years in this area.

“Knockalong” is a 1612 Ha grazing property near Tombong via Delegate in the southern Monaro region of NSW. The property is predominately native pasture, has a long-term average annual rainfall of 600mm and is situated on a shale derived soil.

Twenty-four teams delivered 15 wethers per team to “Knockalong” for the “even-up” shearing last Monday. The teams included seven from the Yass, Bookham, Crookwell region, and 17 teams originating from the Nimmitabel, Bombala, Jindabyne, Cooma, Bungarby, Berridale and Jerangle regions.

With the current market values experienced in the wool and sheep Industry, it is more important than ever for a profitable farm business to have a clear understanding of where their commercial flock is positioned in genetic terms in relation to

the Industry benchmark. It is hoped this wether trial will enable wool growers to critically assess where they are heading in terms of breeding objectives and genetic gains.

The trial runs for three years and measurement data will include fibre diameter, greasy fleece weight, yield, bodyweight, condition / fat score and carcass yield.

All net wool proceeds from the even-up shearing will be donated to the Monaro Education Foundation (MEF) which is a locally established charity and provides much needed financial assistance and support to local youth to help them achieve their post high school education, training and vocation aspirations.

MFS thanks Gordon Litchfield Wool as the major sponsor for the wether trial as well as continued support from Jemalong Wool.

For further information regarding the Merino Genetic Comparison Trial please contact Alan McGufficke on 0429 448 078 or the MFS project officer Nancy Spoljaric on 0428 516 297.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst

One of the national Sunday newspapers contained an article last weekend about organ donation, with the main thread being that more people need to agree to be organ donors as the present figures show that not enough are signing up to be donors in the event of their death.

Okay, people are well aware that they can tick a box or sign up somewhere to register as organ donors should they wish to do so.

Having done that, there should be no reason for medical staff to approach the family of a deceased person to confirm the fact. If the deceased has said yes then it’s yes and no one should be able to overrule that.

Maybe people who are nominating themselves as donors need to make it clear to their families and maybe leave something in writing to ensure their wishes are carried out. A bit like a will I suppose.

But what’s good for the goose is also good for the gander. The decision to donate organs is a very personal one and most people put a lot of thought into it and those who have made the decision not to be organ donors should be allowed to do so without any pressure to change their mind. The article I read at the weekend carried quotes from some complaining the option on the driver’s licence renewal was failing to get people to tick the “Yes” box where it asks if the driver would

A recovery is planned for Sunday.

There has already been a good response, but the organisers are keen to hear from others.

If you would like to register, or have information about other former students, please use the contacts mentioned above. like to be registered as an organ donor. It was also suggested by another that medical staff should not necessarily accept “no” to the question of organ donation as a first answer from people when a family member has died.

Excuse me? Why not? If the deceased has said no and the family says no then that should be the end of it. They will be grieving and possibly in shock as well and what they won’t need is someone in their face pushing for them to agree to donating their loved one’s organs.

Sure, there are many people waiting on the transplant list and the list is a long one and this alone supports the push to give organ donation a higher profile but by the same token, those who do not wish to donate, for whatever reason, should also be free to make that decision and their families should not be hassled by repeated requests should something happen down the track.

What does concern me about this is if, in the push to encourage more people to become organ donors, those who choose not to are penalised in some way as a result. Nothing was said to indicate this would ever happen but the tone of some of those quoted almost suggested that the thought had crossed their minds.

This is one decision that’s best left to the individual, no pressure, no inducement and definitely no repercussions.

Monaro loses first rep game Three matches played this weekend: Alpine Colts (8/251- C Hillman 89, H Roach 43*) Defeated Royal (all out 47) Coffeys (4/243- S Williams 166*) Defeated Cooma Cats (all out 145C Khoury 55) Rep game - Far South Coast (6/140) Defeated Monaro (8/137)

The Alpine Hotel Cricket Club met the Royal at Snowy Oval on Saturday for what promised to be an interesting game of cricket.

The Alpine, losing a few key players from last week’s victory over Berridale, were bolstered by the appearance of Jack Ewart and Mark Askell as late inclusions.

The Alpine won the toss and proceeded to bat with Kevin Regan (14) and Tug Boate propelling the score to 30 after 7 overs. After Boate was caught off John Citizen’s (2/43) bowling, Tunks Hillman stepped out and proceeded to to batter the Royal bowlers all over the pitch.

After Regan was dismissed off Citizen’s bowling also, John Langton (32) and Hillman continued to punish the Royal, putting on a 3rd wicket partnership of 110 runs.

Hillman was eventually bowled by Cohen for 89 after an exceptional innings in which we saw him return to last year’s form. Harry Roach then

came in to post a personal best score in senior cricket of 43 not out, ably supported by the likes of Jack Ewart (23), John Sutcliffe, Campbell Young and Mark Fraser.

After 45 overs, the Alpine had posted a massive score of 8/251 which was going to take some chasing.

The Royal opened with Lawrie Carlson and Paul Cohen, who were dismissed for 3 and 1 respectively off Fraser and Hillman.

Hillman, with figures of 3/3 off 4 overs, showed us that he is a serious contender for the all-rounder award this year. Jacob ‘Jaws’ Moon and Roach both kept an end under wraps, allowing the spinners, Boate and Young, to take figures of 2/0 and 3/8 respectively.

The Royal’s highest scorer was again John Citizen, who posted a good score of 19 before being caught off Boate’s bowling.

The Royal were eventually dismissed for 47 runs, allowing the Alpine to post a 204-run victory and make that 3 out of 3.

Next week’s matches: Cooma Cats V Jindabyne @ Snowy Coffeys V Royal @ Rotary Alpine Colts V Aussie (match will be forfeited) Berridale V Bye

The first night of Athletics ACT Track & Field Inter Club Competition for 2011/12 season, saw local Cooma Athlete Jordan Louis competing in the U/14 and U/16 hammer throws.

Jordan set a new ACT State Record and a personal best performance in the U/15 age group with a massive heave of the hammer out to 36.26m with the 3kg hammer.

Jordan smashed the old record by 5m (which he set earlier this year). The throw qualifies him for the Australian Championships competition towards end of the season.

Jordan has only one more competition in the U/14’s before the New Year, and then he is required to compete in the Under 16 competition for the next two seasons with the 4kg hammer.

There he will be chasing the current Australian

Open Record holder Stuart Randell ACT U/16 Record of 53.40m.

After setting the record in the U/14s stepped up to U/16 to a heavier Hammer (4kg) in his attempt to also qualify for this age as well. Jordan recorded another PB performance on the night with throw of 30.43 m.

The javelin throw was the next event on the night for Jordan and acquitted himself pretty well in large field of throwers, landing his best throw out to 31.78 m.

Finally, Jordan stepped into the rink at the shot put and he has been experiencing at training with the rotary stile delivery prior releasing the shot.

His efforts with this method produced a heave of 9.07m.

The championships were held at Jindabyne Pony Club in picture perfect conditions with a strong showing of competitors, spectators and supporters.

Jindabyne’s Emily Caldwell (15 yrs) swept the field taking out the overall Zone Championship, the C grade title and also recorded the Highest Dressage score of the day. Emily and her horse Swindled were an unbeatable combination and showed that her last few years of hard work and training are the reason she is known as one the strongest young eventers in the local area.

Nimmitabel’s Taya Evans put together a consistent and well ridden performance to win D grade on Doc’s Tucker while the E grade championship was won by Jindabyne’s Breanna Arnold on Mare’s Forest Little Legend.

Breanna and Legend performed superbly

throughout the jumping and cross country phases and took out the hard to win title of Closest to Optimum Time on the cross country course. Kane Trent-Smith and Dixie won the Mini E title and are already in training for graduating to E grade next year.

Cooma Pony Club’s Sarah Oost was awarded the sash for Best Presented Horse and Rider for her immaculate turn out. Special mention was made of Dalgety’s Samantha Rudd from the Snowy River Pony Club who was away representing Zone 18 at the NSW Championships in Denman in the Hunter Valley.

Special thanks went to Sue West for judging the dressage and Peter Evans for the show jumping.

Plans are already underway for next year’s event with several riders hoping to follow Samantha and be selected to represent Zone 18 in the 2012 NSW Championships.

New members are very welcome – please call Donna on 6456 2730 for more information.

Cooma Rifle Club didn’t shoot on October 15 and 16 but last Saturday there was a good turn up for shooting from 500 yards for the Monthly Spoon Competition.

The weather was good with no wind initially but then a northerly breeze sprang up which varied one or two points either way for the rest of the morning. There were no possibles but numerous 49s and 48s. Damien Doyle returned from Brisbane where he shot in the Queensland Queen’s Prize meeting and the 2011 World Championships. He was 27th in B Grade in the Queen’s, a creditable performance.

Last Saturday’s off-rifle scores were:

1. Noel Barrett 49.7 and 47.3, total 96.10 2. Damien Doyle 48.3 and 48.4, total 96.7 3. Don Robb 45.1 and 49.2, total 94.3 4. Jatz Fredericks 36.0 and 42.2, total 78.2 5. Brian Bradley 37.0 and 40.0, total 77.0 Graeme Crundwell hasn’t been too well lately but attended to keep scores.

With handicaps, Noel won by a few points from Don, Brian and Damien, so won the monthly spoon.

Next Saturday shooting will be from 300 yards for the monthly heat of the Club Championships and the Gregory Shield Competitions.

Basketball grand finals A large crowd was on hand to watch the basketball for People With Special Needs feature game which was a highlight of Thursday’s Grand Finals. A special thanks to the B Women and Junior Boys teams for their support and encouragement on the night. All players have shown a huge improvement in mobility, passing, dribbling and shooting plus show a wonderful display of sportsmanship and enjoyment.

The game resulted in a draw and each player was presented with a Monaro Meats Medal.

They were delighted to hand out the Mainstreet/Michelles Swim School trophies to the Junior Boys Premiers Icebreakers and the Harding Plumbing/Tourist Cafe trophies to the runners up the Flukes.

Junior Boys The Grand Final of the Junior Boys basketball was taken out by Icebreakers who defeated Flukes 39-21. An early injury to Flukes player Tim Wall left the team short their main height and shooter for a large part of the game and they were unable to contain the attack of Ollie Shvetsoff and Zac Saddler

and the rebounding of Josh Alford.

Kate and Abby Schofield and Meg Bracher dominated the attack for MKs with their speed and teamwork.

Groundhogs showed plenty of spirit using their height advantage under the basket to work their way back in the game each quarter but were unable to bridge the gap Mk Baskets winning 46-37. Everyone wishes a full recovery to Kara Hynes who was forced out of the game not long before the start.

The players were presented with the Accredited Electrical trophies following the game. MK Baskets 46(K. Schofield 8, A. Schofield 10, M Bracher 12, T. Singh 8, S. Fogarty 2) Groundhogs 37(A.Pope 20, A. Ferguson 2, A. Fitzgerald 11, L. McIntyre2, T. Jonata 2)

Good weather, but few bowlers With the warmer weather it was expected to see a good turnout on the greens but sadly this was not the case at the weekend.

Saturday saw just 20 players enjoying the weather and good company on the green.

Helen Peuker, Peter Marsicano and Ignazio Mondello were having an even encounter with Colin Peuker, Sergio Roncelli and Gulio D’Amico up to the halfway point when Ignazio’s team won six of the last eight ends to run out winners 28/16.

Jack Sajina and Maureen D’Amico were up and running against Dennis Steinfort and Renate Winckel, had a massive halfway lead of 17/6 and went on with the job allowing Dennis and Renate only three more shots for a very convincing win 32/9.

Richard Nichols and Owen Russell also started well against Don Jarvis and Ron Gammon to lead 18/8 after 13 ends and although Don and Ron shared the remaining 12 ends, Richard and Owen outscored them 12 shots to eight for a 30/16 win. In the remaining Saturday match, Teresa Botto, John Vincent and Paul Cannell were a little slow off the mark against Alan Crowe (welcome back Alan), Daphne Buckley and Colin Roberson but only trailed 8/11. With five of the remaining eight ends going Colin’s way his team gained a close win 17/13.

All three games on Sunday were won by large margins with 26/12 being the closest result.

Rulie Steinfort, Renate Winckel and Richard Nichols took off like they had been fired from a cannon and left Colin Peuker, Don Jarvis and Dennis Steinfort shell shocked with a halfway lead of 21/8 and kept going to win 38/11. Keith Goodwin, Sergio Roncelli and Kim Weston were also early starters against Judy McDonald, Daphne Buckley and Ignazio Mondello when they won 10 of the first 13 ends and then ran into a wall for four ends but two fours and a one over the concluding stages saw them home 34/11.

Mary Obermaier, Helen Peuker and Nelson Wallace set up a handy halfway lead 15/6 against Maria Roncelli, Dave McDonald and Jack Sajina and kept up the good work in the closing stages to win 26/12.

Our team representing Zone 7 in Cowra over the weekend found the going pretty tough.

First they played Zone 5, which takes in Blue Mountains, Central Tablelands, Nepean and Lachlan Valley.

Second match was against Zone 8, which includes Albury, Riverina, Southern Slopes and Wagga. The final match was against the ACT Team on Sunday morning.

The garage sale is almost upon us, Saturday October 29. Goods will be accepted on Friday afternoon from 3pm and early Saturday morning.

Some interesting items have already been delivered and more are promised.
