Health meeting at Delegate Southern NSW Local Health District is to seek the views of residents from Delegate and the surrounding district on the future of sustainable local health services at a public meeting at the Delegate School of Arts on Tuesday, February 21.

Chief Executive Southern NSW Local Health District, Dr Max Alexander, said the Local Health District is keen to hear community views on options for health services across Delegate and Bombala.

“The Local Health District’s aim is to maintain a health service in both towns and to do this we need to use the staff we have to our best advantage,” Dr Alexander said.

“A paper containing options to be considered for the ongoing delivery of health services at both Delegate and Bombala is currently circulating around the district to allow options currently on the table to be better understood. Those options are not exhaustive and we would welcome new and appropriate suggestions.

“I acknowledge the active efforts of the Delegate and Bombala communities to recruit doctors.

However, both the Delegate and Bombala MultiPurpose Services (MPS) continue to struggle to find sufficient nurses.

“We must plan now to maintain a service despite the shortages of both doctors and nurses,” said Dr Alexander.

All options put forward would see the Delegate and Bombala health service campuses remaining open, but the mix of services at each campus may change.

Options put forward to date include: • Formalising current management

arrangements for the Bombala MPS and Delegate MPS, with one manager having responsibility for both services.

• Replacing the Delegate Emergency Department with increased community health services. This would include a regular walk-in “Wellness Clinic” which would cater for services such as wound care, blood pressure checks, blood tests and general health monitoring.

• Implementing a clear set of protocols for registered nurses to deal with certain Emergency Department presentations without the supervision of a doctor, such as attending to certain wounds, administering basic pain relief, doing CPR and automatic defibrillation.

• Establishing a Telehealth service, so that nurses could receive back up from doctors in another area for certain Emergency Department presentations.

• Establishing a Nurse Practitioner role, to provide a more specialised service in a selected field, such as chronic and complex care, or emergencies.

• Concentrating the Delegate campus on residential high care (9 places) and providing up to four respite places. Delegate could also investigate providing places for clients with dementia.

The public meeting will commence at 6.30pm at the Delegate School of Arts. For further information please phone Delegate MPS on 6459 8000.

Copies of the options paper are available from both the Bombala and Delegate Multi Purpose Centres.

The BreastScreen NSW mobile van will be visiting Bombala from March 5 until March 9 and Cooma from March 19 until April 14, 2012.

The highly-visible pink and purple van, the first in NSW with full-field digital technology, visits Cooma every year.

Director of BreastScreen (Murrumbidgee and Southern NSW Local Health Networks) Debbie Lattimore, said the new digital technology will provide doctors with clearer images faster and improve early detection.

BreastScreen is a free breast screening service for women aged 50 to 69 years.

Breast screening, also known as mammographic screening, is the process of looking for breast cancer in a population of women who have no symptoms.

If you have a lump or nipple discharge please see your GP. Ms Lattimore said with a 97 per cent survival rate when breast cancer is detected early having a breast screen is vital.

NSW women have a one in nine chance of developing breast

cancer in their lifetime.

Making time for a breast screen every two years one of the most important healthy actions a woman over 50 can do.

“Regular breast screening with digital mammography equipment significantly increases the likelihood that breast cancers are found as early as possible and treated most effectively,” Ms Lattimore said.

“If you are a woman aged over 40, especially between 50 and 69 years old, I strongly encourage you to book your mammogram now.“ The mobile BreastScreen van will be located opposite near the Exhibition centre in Forbes Street (Cnr of Wellington) in Bombala and at the Showgrounds via Cromwell Street in Cooma.

For appointments contact BreastScreen NSW on 13 20 50.

Prison sentence for former stock agent Former Cooma stock and station agent, Bill Wilkinson, will spend eight months in gaol after he was sentenced to a cumulative total of five years and two months gaol on six charges in Cooma Court last Friday.

Mr Wilkinson was facing six charges of receiving financial advantage by deception and received custodial sentences on all six charges, to be served concurrently.

Presiding magistrate Bone, said in his summary to the court that he had considered a suspended sentence, but the amount of money involved, $931,352.22, was ‘just too much’ not to impose a gaol term.

The case was the culmination of more than a year’s court appearances and medical treatment for Mr Wilkinson.

The court heard how, between 2004 and February 2010, Mr Wilkinson had invested initially $2.5 million of his own money, then $931,352.22 from his business’ trust fund, in what was described as a ‘Nigerian scam’.

It also heard that during that time, Mr Wilkinson had not received any return on the money which had been invested. victims’ have Five of the six ‘victims’ been compensated through ation a stock and station ty agency indemnity scheme, but one person was still to be paid for a clearance sale, the court heard.

Last Friday, psychiatrist his treating psychiatrist, as Dr Edgar Freed, was estify the only witness to testify fence. in Mr Wilkinson’s defence. ad seen Mr He said he had Wilkinson on more than 10 occasions 0 when h M i since October 2010, Mr Wilki Wilkinson was b being treated for depression. Dr Freed said Mr Wilkinson continued to be very significantly depressed, although he no longer had the ‘obvious suicidicity’ he had had when first seen at the clinic in October 2010. His diagnosis of bipolar two was later to be challenged by a psychiatrist for the prosecution, Cornelius Greenaway.

Mr Wilkinson was described as a ‘simple country persona’

by Dr Freed, in that he took people at face value.

Mr Wilkinson was also referred to as a victim by his defence barrister Greg Walsh.

Dr Freed explained how a person’s bipolar condition could become ‘hyper manic’, where they tend to ignore risks and act with impaired judgement.

The court heard how Mr Wilkinson had built up a business and a solid reputation over 31 years in Cooma, It heard how Mr Wilkinson had been introduced to a man later to be identified by Mr Walsh as a ‘scumbag’ Dennis Fing, through a friend, Pat Barron.

Mr Fing, it was revealed operated a “Nigerian Scam” and according to the defence had persuaded Mr Wilkinson that his investments in Africa were sound and also humanitarian.

Dr Freed said Mr Wilkinson had been persuaded by Mr Fing and continued to believe in the investments because of the receipt of regular documents pertaining to the investments and these had been accepted in a “cult-like manner’.

The prosecutor challenged Dr Freed’s opinion that Mr Wilkinson’s judgement had been impaired by his depressive state.

He said Mr Wilkinson had been able to carry on with daily activities normally and had had the capacity to stop the investments within the seven years in question. Dr Freed replied that he did not believe Mr Wilkinson did have that capacity.

The prosecutor said ‘but he wasn’t an automaton – he could act and choose’.

The prosecution asked why Mr Wilkinson had initially lied to his clients when confronted by them.

Dr Freed sad Mr Wilkinson had lied to ‘buy himself more time – he could not see an end point at that time’.

The prosecutor reminded the court that “We are here because Mr Wilkinson used other people’s money”.

In his closing submission to the magistr magistrate, Mr Walsh repeated that Mr Wilkin Wilkinson’s actions wer a result of were his suffering from an undiagnosed m mental illness.

He again ou outlined Mr W i l k i n s o n ’s sup support as a busine man and a business commun person, and community asked why a ‘such a good man would do this dishonest thing’ H said id M k He Mr Wilki Wilkinson was a b bankrupt, had lost everything he had worked hard for and had nothing left.

He asked that a non-custodial or suspended sentence be considered in light of Mr Wilkinson’s otherwise unblemished record.

In his summary Magistrate Bone referred to Mr Wilkinsons’ mental illness.

“Was Mr Wilkinsons’s judgement impaired at the time? Yes it was.

“Was greed the motive? He was certainly not abnormally greedy. He wasn’t living the life of Riley although he was probably comfortable”.

Magistrate Bone said Mr Wilkinson’s mental condition would probably make life in prison more difficult for him.

But he said the amount of money involved was ‘simply too much’ not to impose a custodial sentence.

Mr Wilkinson was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment, with a non-parole period of eight months on the first charge.

He was sentenced to 14 months imprisonment on the second charge, 12 months on the sixth charge and six months each for the third, fourth and fifth charges, the sentences to be served concurrently.

Member for Monaro John Barilaro has welcomed new guidelines which will enable registered clubs to provide an additional $90 million over four years to local communities across the State.

“These new club guidelines will be a big win for the clubs in the Monaro,” Mr Barilaro said.

The new guidelines implement the NSW Government’s ClubGRANTS scheme, delivering major benefits to the community, sporting, charitable, health and welfare sectors.

The legislation, passed last year, provides registered clubs with relief from gaming machine tax hikes to strengthen their future viability and enable them to increase community support.

As part of these changes, new guidelines have been introduced to implement the many benefits of this scheme including: - Allowing clubs to claim contributions to professional sport (including leagues club contributions to the NRL) that are not player or coach payments; - Enabling funds to be directed towards a club’s core activities such as sport, golf course and bowling green maintenance, and RSL and veterans’ welfare; - Establishing a new Category 3 ClubGRANTS Fund Committee comprising club and government officials to consider funding applications and monitor and evaluate grant expenditure; and - Permit clubs to claim a proportion of their gaming machine tax rebate for funds provided to assist victims of natural disasters within a year of the occurrence.

“Registered clubs are a critical part of our community, they provide major social and economic benefits to local communities across the State including high-quality facilities and services, jobs and financial support for community and sporting groups,” Mr Barilaro said.

Zone Showgirl judging at Nimmitabel Nimmitabel Show Society president John Harrington was a busy, and very happy, man last Saturday night as his show society hosted the zone judging for the 2012 RAS Showgirl competition.

The celebration was even more significant as this is the competition’s 50th anniversary.

Mr Harrimgton won the title of “most kissed” by the end of the evening, as all entrants and the ‘jillaroos’ thanked Mr Harrington in the traditional fashion.

Pictured, Mr Harrington presents flowers to Nimmitabel Showgirl Laura Clarke, and evening co-ordinator Pat Nichols. Laura is also pictured giving her address; below, the Pioneer hall was a charming venue for the night.

Report new dogs for safe meter read Emergency service report Warrants executed During the days of February 9 and 10 two search warrants were executed in the Berridale area. A 33-year-old Berridale male was charged with possession of prohibited drugs and possession of ammunition. He will appear in Cooma local court at a later date.

Fire extinguished A property owner who was slashing a paddock had a lucky escape on Saturday at about 2.30pm. The tractor he was driving caught fire and burnt out approximately 10 acres and destroyed the tractor. The fire is not suspicious and is believed to have started by a fault in the tractor.

Country Energy is urging all households to register their pets.

Essential Energy is urging all households to register pets to ensure meter readers can continue to get safe access to electricity meter boxes.

Essential Energy’s regional general manager South Eastern, Phillip Green, said unrestrained and unfriendly dogs were just one of the hazards of the job for Essential Energy’s 125 meter readers that could easily be avoided.

“Residents may have received a new dog for Christmas, or moved house with the family pets which means there is now a new dog at the premises,” he said.

“If this is the case, please contact Essential Energy on 13 23 91 to let us know so we can work with you to safely read your meter.

“Our meter readers undergo extensive safety training relating to dog behaviour, but unless they know a dog is present they can be caught off

guard if one suddenly appears from nowhere.”

Essential Energy recommends securing dogs away from the meter box and locating gates or fences behind the meter box to provide clear access, where possible.

Keeping meter boxes clear of trees, shrubs, rubbish and insects also helps reduce the risk of injury for meter readers from thorns, vegetation, wasps and bees.

“Not only does Essential Energy need access to these important pieces of the electricity network, but emergency service personnel may need to access meter boxes in the event of a major emergency, such as a bushfire, severe storm or electric shock,” Mr Green said.

There’s nothing like a spate of sprucing up to give a place a whole new look and thanks to the members of the Cooma Rotary Club, Norris Park is about to get a new lease on life via the Club’s current project to restore the park to it’s former glory, when it was a Bi-centennial project back in 1988.

Constructed originally during 1963-64, the park was named in remembrance of Rotary member, Frank Norris, who passed away on June 7 1963 and was in recognition of his life of service to the community through the many organisations he supported. The first Frank Norris Memorial Park however was a very small strip of greenery with little in the way of park structure but in 1988, the park was earmarked for a complete do-over and as a Bi-centennial project was upgraded to the pleasant space that it was to become.

But 23 years later, the park structures are looking a little weary and with green spaces so treasured by visitors and the local community alike, it is welcome news that Rotary has tagged Norris Park for attention.

It’s going to be a fairly big job.

“There’s quite a bit of work to do.”

David Holgate of Cooma Rotary said. “But hopefully we’ll be able to complete everything before the weather gets too cold.”

As well as tidying up around the gardens, the volunteer workforce

On Thursday February 9, at about 5.40pm a 25-year-old female driver was travelling in her white ute when she lost control on a sweeping bend on Varney’s Range. She ended up colliding with a tree, which caused extensive damage to her vehicle, and had to be towed, she was uninjured.

Again the bad weather and road

An ACT male motorcycle rider was lucky to escape injury when he drifted across the road and lost control on the Alpine Way at 12.25pm on Thursday.

He collided with the ‘Ivo’s farm’ letter box, which was badly damaged as was his bike which was towed from the scene. The rider was uninjured.

Many directions given A large number of ‘move along’ directions were issued by police in the early hours of Sunday morning. All instances were issued to intoxicated males in the Cooma CBD. Car thief caught An 18-year-old male was seen to break into and drive off in a vehicle that was parked at the back of the Hain Centre in the early hours of Saturday morning. He then drove through a locked gated, breaking the gate and its lock. A witness called police and followed him to a location about 20 kilometres from Cooma where he was arrested and charged. He was also charged with breaking into the Hain Centre, and will appear in court on April 4.

Tyres slashed A vehicle parked in Cromwell Street had its two-passenger side tyres slashed sometime between 6.30pm on Friday and 11am on Saturday. Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 6452 0099.

Road accidents A 38-year-old female was involved in a single vehicle accident on Friday at approximately 4pm in Jindabyne.

She lost control on Kosciusko Road and ended up in a paddock. The bad weather appears to have played a significant part in the accident, with hail and debris over the road at the time.

She escaped uninjured but her car was towed from the scene.

will be restoring, renovating and in some cases, replacing the structures currently in the park.

“Some of the seating may have to be replaced” Mr Holgate added ”and we will be replacing the shingles on the roofs of the picnic shelters and the gazebo as well.”

Cooma-Monaro Shire Council is supplying the workers with all the materials they’ll need while the Club will be supplying the volunteer workforce and work will mostly be carried out on Saturdays over the next few weeks.

The objective is to restore Norris Park to it’s original appearance and condition following it’s 1988 make-over.

Visitors to the park are very welcome as are any others who would like to donate some time and a few extra pairs of hands to this worthwhile project.

postman calls

Well, looks like Mother Nature wants to replenish the water the Monaro missed out on for about a decade or so.

With more than 50mm falling around old Cooma town since Thursday, The Postman probably isn’t the only one trying to find DRY clothes to do the outdoor stuff in.

Our local farmers are also finding it interesting wading through thigh-high grasses, all absolutely saturated.

It’s a nice change from kicking up the dust with every footstep, but still, wet boots, wet trousers, wet socks, wet hats… hmmm,..

Cooma’s lawns haven’t been so green for a very long time and the spiders have long since been shaken out of the gumboots.

Now if someone would just invent a lawn mower that works in long, wet grass.

Spare sheep, anyone??

Nimmitabel was on show last Saturday as people from around the south east of the state converged for the regional showgirl judging.

Nine very competent contestants were vying for the position of finalist to contest the state title at Easter.

Locally, Nimmitabel Showgirl Laura Clarke, was in the running and spoke very well at the dinner on Saturday night, but the winner, Jasmine Nixon from Crookwell, has the best wishes of the region in her attempt on the title.

Hats off to the Nimmity “Jillaroos”, who did the Nimmitabel Show Society proud in their co-ordination of the event.

The Pioneer Hall hasn’t looked so ritzy for many years.

It was interesting to hear all the candidates sing the praises of the showgirl competition. It’s a great way for young ladies to enjoy personal development and friendships, with the possibility of an overseas trip and a year as a rural ambassador also on offer.

Not because I’m jumping the gun or anything, it being only February after all, but because supermarkets have jumped it well and truly, having no sooner packed up the bells and tinsel and the Easter stock hit the shelves.

Well shame on the bloody lot of you! You’re going to do big sales on the choccies regardless of when you put them out but in the name of all that’s decorous guys, couldn’t you have waited until the first or second week of March?

Easter Sunday is not till April 8, you know!

But if you must have them out on display now, even though it is only February, try and spare a thought for all the mums and dads shopping in your stores with littlies in tow.

Like the hapless couple with the cute little guy in one of our local supermarkets a couple of weeks ago. To give this little boy his due, he was extremely good considering it was that time of the afternoon when the little ones usually start to get tired and tearful but it all came tumbling down when mum and dad ventured into the fruit and veg section and what did he see in there? Yep, chocolate bunnies.

He couldn’t have missed them actually as they were not only level with his line of sight, they were also well within his reach and so he did what any littlie would do when confronted with something like that and so was understandably devastated when mum and dad said no and replaced the bunny!

So here’s a question… what was a selection of chocolate Easter Bunnies in all their bright, attractive and irresistible-to-littlies foil wrapping doing in with the fruit and veg? Like, you’ve got to be kidding me right!

Did sneaky logic dictate that parents would have to buy them because their kids would definitely spot them amongst the greens which is a real bugger after going to all that trouble to avoid the confectionery aisle, and it was either that or say no and have to cope with the public meltdown?

At a guess, I’d say that’s it and it’s a low one. The management is often out of earshot though, having an office to escape to, which means they can sidestep the drama of parents with little ones who have seen Easter chocolate that no one really wants to buy yet.

Tell you what…should you find yourself in that unfortunate position, take your acutely distressed littlies up the stairs to the powers-that-be and leave them there; shrieking their little lungs out while you finish the shopping.

Personal experience is a great teacher.

SPONSORS:

There’s never been a better time to come along to the Lake Jindabyne Flowing Festival, on this weekend 18-19 February at Banjo Paterson Park Jindabyne.

It’s the 7th Flowing Festival and this year it’s also the Chinese Year of the Dragon, the most mighty of the Chinese Zodiac - also considered the luckiest!

The action is on water and land, and will have something for everyone over the weekend. This year the Festival is supporting the Make a Wish Foundation.

While the main events are the dragon boat racing, there is also food, music, circus workshop and carnival rides on Saturday afternoon and evening, a huge market stall day on Sunday and a sustainable living expo.

It’s a real community day for everyone in the high country, but competitors and visitors from Canberra and the South Coast make the weekend one of the biggest events of the year - the festival has been awarded the Snowy River Shire’s Australia Day Event of the Year.

The local schools have their special competition, and this year Monaro High, St Pats, Jindabyne Central and Snowy Mountains Grammar are fielding crews for the Snowy Hydro Junior Challenge for years 7-10.

The junior sports teams - mostly years 11 and 12 are coming from Jindabyne and Canberra. Over 200 young paddlers from Canberra will make the trip and the contest with local SMGS will be an exciting battle as a lead up to the national titles in Melbourne.

Community teams, all ready to get wet, are getting dressed up and ready to go for their races on Sunday, and this year 14 crews have entered, with Monaro High teachers taking on teams from Lakewood, Tyrolean Village, the Alpine Way, NPWS and other local groups.

Community teams have a practice session on Saturday - your team leader will have the details and all crews have drummers and sweeps provided

by Dragon Boat NSW. The Festival has also attracted top sports teams from Canberra and the South Coast, and a new event this year will be the Saturday twilight long distance race over 2000 metres, followed by the night time fun in the park.

The evening is a family picnic in the park. There are plenty of food and drink stalls, and carnival rides.

Mark Lockyer will play for the crowd, local uke band will do their stuff, and there’ll be a circus workshop, fire dance performances and drummers. It’s a fun night for the whole family.

Sunday starts early with races beginning at 7.30am - the course is set up over 200 metres with great spectator vantage points. There’ll be heats and finals over the day, with presentations around 3pm.

Let’s hope the weather is fine, but the action on the water is wet and noisy anyway!

Market Day on Sunday will see over 40 stalls with lots of local produce for sale, and the Clean Energy Expo will offer the latest in energy saving technology and ideas.

Banjo Paterson Park will be a busy place over the weekend - come early! Parking is best behind the old town center and then stroll past the shops (have a browse) and down to the park.

Full programme at www.flowingfestival.com.au Come along and have fun in the Year of the Dragon - be prepared to get wet!

An exciting finish last year.

Monaro High School has entered a team again this year.

Guide Dog fundraiser a big success for ‘JP’ Lisa Ashurst Cooma Pet Shop was at the forefront of a fundraising campaign on November 26, 2011 which raised a significant sum of money for the Guide Dog Association of NSW and more specifically, to cover the cost of raising, training and supporting a Guide Dog puppy named JP. Organised by Cooma Pet Shop owner, Sandra Brabon, the fundraiser also generated interest with the East End Café who came on board to help by way of holding a White Elephant Sale to coincide with the Pet Shop’s sales and special offers available on the day.

“The fundraiser was good exposure n said for the Pet Shop” Ms Brabon ome “and we were able to offer some e great deals, which was a nice way of giving something back to our customers.”

Cooma Pet Shop is a member of the Just for Petss buying group (hence JP, the roup puppy’s name) and when the group pport began looking for a charity to support they settled on the Guide Dogs, pledging $30,000 per year to be raised e group to between all the members of the d training a assist in the cost of raising and ntribution puppy. Cooma Pet Shop’s contribution per year would normally be $400 but their efforts, combined with those of mber 26, the East End Café on November managed the swell that figure to $2000, which was a wonderful result. But on top ated 10 per of that, the Pet Shop also donated cent of their sales as well. es available There were some great prizes ated the first too! Cochran Horse Treks donated hen there was prize of a 3-Day Horse Trek, then two nights accommodation in Merimbula as eing a gift second prize with third prize being hamper.

Every cent raised from the fundraiser then went directly toward what it cost to raise and train JP, who graduated at the top of his ow with class in October 2010 and is now a handler who he will remain with for many years. ound $30,000 and Training a Guide Dog costs around iation comes from all money raised for the Association ed to raise these fundraisers and a lot is required puppies to their full potential. JP spent five months ving on to working in intensive training before moving with his trainer, Melinda, during which time he was sy urban centres, exposed to such things as busy

traffic, crowds, noise, distractions and a myriad of other sights, sounds and smells. Such training is expensive which is where regular supporters and fundraising events are so important. It all paid off very well with JP though who is now settled with his handler.

Ms Brabon is delighted the fundraiser was such a success and would like to say “thank you” to everyone who supported the day.

“People were amazing and we would just like them to know how much we appreciated their support.”

Happy ending for injured kitten

In the week before Christmas, an injured nine-week—old kitten was taken to the Snowy Mountains Veterinary group with an injured leg.

The kitten became the responsibility of the Cooma RSPCA as it was unidentified and unclaimed.

His injuries were so severe, he needed to have his front leg amputated, a big operation.

Staff at the veterinary clinic organised a fundraiser to raise the money to cover the cost of the operation so the RSPCA would not be out of pocket, Clients were asked to donate and even patrons of The Lolly Shop

pitched in with $150, with the result $700 was raised to help ‘Jeremy’ as he is now known.

Life has certainly improved for the kitten who now lives in Boorowa, adopted by former vet nurse at the surgery, Anne.

‘Jeremy’ now enjoys life with a new family, including other cats and dogs and could be said to be living the life of riley.

The staff at the surgery donated the collection to the RSPCA on Monday, with president Lil Frezza and cat co-ordinator Debbie Robinson.

Pictured at Monday’s presentation are vet nurses Kelly Barnes and Amy Johanson with Debbie Robinson and Lil Frezza.

Top right: The kitten prior to his amputation with vet Mike Mesley.

Bottom right: ‘Jeremy’ has coped well with only three legs.

Scott is a graduate of the University of Queensland and has just moved from Broome in Western Australia, to work in Cooma.

Scott has also worked in Sydney and Perth before moving to Broome.

The question I am always asked is – Where is the best place for me to invest?

As you would have heard me say before if you are a regular reader, “everyone is different and everyone has different wants, needs and goals”. It is our job to to help you achieve this. There is a number of hot spots in Australia, but where we are buying ouselves and most of our clients are is Mackay, Mackay is Gold! WHY When you look at investing you must be focused on Capital Growth, as this is where the real money is.

So what is driving the growth in Mackay?

1. $10 Billion being spent on infrastructure 2. Population growth is out of control 28,000 more house by 2020 3. 5000 new employees required for the new Mining port which will attract many Australian families 4. Diversified Industries – Mining – within 2 hrs (mining companies subsidise the rent) of the mines, servicing 16 mines plus the largest mining port in the country 2 hrs north and the third biggest being built 10 min south.

Agriculture – Sugar and cotton and Tourism – servicing the Whitsundays 5. Positive Cash Flow Property – eg $400k property- returns a yield of approx. 7% - $600 p/w which means you will increase your income by approx. $100 p/w.

6. House shortfall currently with a point .5% rental vacancy, which is only going to get worse (or better if youʼre an investor as this will drive up the rents and the capital growth.

7. The QLD Govt will give you $10,000 boost for a limited time April 30 to cover deposit and cost.

8. Prices are on the move upwards, interest rates are coming down and you will also get tax savings.

9. Very importantly you can still buy new affordable property.

The key is buying the right property in the best locations in Mackay in quality estates with high end inclusions. This is where we can help you out, we have been on the ground and identified the best locations and builders for a safe, secure and successful investment.

We will be running a complimentary information night on Wed Feb 29 at the Alpine Hotel Function room 7.00pm to 8.30 pm, if you would like to learn how you can invest in Mackay and other hot spots and much more.

To read and learn more or register for the information night please visit prosperitygroup.com.au\monaropost.

Good breeding reduces greenhouse burps NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) researchers are contributing to a project which aims to reduce agricultural greenhouse emissions by reducing the amount of methane belched by beef cattle.

NSW DPI research scientist, Kath Donoghue, said the project team is working to identify traits which can be selected to breed low methane producing cattle.

“Cattle emit methane gas when they belch and beef cattle are responsible for about 10 per cent of the nation’s greenhouse emissions,” Dr Donoghue said.

“Methane emissions from 400 cattle have been measured to date and preliminary results indicate that genetics account for a variation in the amount of methane cattle emit.

“That means we will be able to select bulls which can be used in breeding programs to produce progeny with

naturally lower methane emissions.”

Dr Donoghue said the project is also collecting information on growth, carcase and fertility traits which have a significant impact on profitability in beef herds.

“We are developing a better understanding of the relationships between methane emissions and important production traits, and the consequences of selection for low methane traits,” she said.

“This genetic research is particularly relevant to pasturebased extensive beef production systems which contribute 95 per cent of beef cattle methane emissions.

“Improvement of animals by traditional selective breeding is the most wide-reaching, permanent and simple tool to mitigate emissions from the extensive cattle sector.”

Beef cattle in feedlots make up most of the remaining five per cent – those emissions can be managed by controlling

feed intake.

NSW DPI has bred a selection line of Angus cattle, with high and low methane production traits, at its Trangie and Glen Innes research stations.

These cattle are sent to the University of New England in Armidale where NSW DPI researchers use specially designed methane chambers to take precise measurements.

By the end of the project this year, records from the 500 cattle selected from the NSW DPI Angus herd will have been collected and analysed.

This project is supported by funding from the Australian Government’s Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry as part of the Climate Change Research Program and Meat & Livestock Australia.

Valentines ball After many years of not having any kind of ‘dance’ in town, Marnie Stewart, Lynsey Nichol and Emma Hill decided it was time to make use of the great facilities at the club. Last Saturday after much hard work and lots of wonderful helpers they held a Valentines ball, which was described as formal with a touch of romance, at the club.

The string trio played at dinner then at 8.30pm the band ‘Hit Parade’ kicked off. Everyone got into the swing of things and when the band was playing the dance floor was full, with hardly anyone sitting down.

The crowd was fabulous and set the scene for the night after having their photos taken on the

‘red carpet’ as they arrived.

There are just too many people to thank individually but special thanks must go to Theo Schoo for taking the photos, Doug Rendoth for being the mc, Bev Corbett and Marilyn Owen for the decorations and Tracey Coyte and Michelle McGufficke for helping with ‘everything’. Thanks to everyone who helped in any way it was greatly appreciated. All funds raised will be donated to the MCCR and Lambie Street Pre School. The final total hadn’t been counted as of going to print.

Mature Mob at it again Mature Mob did it again – despite the overcast weather! 31 folk enjoyed a great day on Wednesday February 1. First stop was Jindabyne for that much appreciated “morning cuppa”, but with no time wasted, Driver David Fletcher moved the group along to meet the 11am appointment at the Kosciusko Education Centre where National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS) Discovery Coordinator, Dan Nicholls, greeted the group. In the centre theatrette Dan introduced facets of the facility with its ‘handson’ displays and innovative programs, spoke about the natural and cultural heritage of Kosciuszko National Park and the importance of national parks in general and enthused the group with the video Spirit of the Snowy.

The misty rain did not deter some of the MM who took the short bush walk using a kit containing a map and sensory awareness activities to use along the track, while others perused the many interesting exhibits in the Centre. After a picnic lunch in one of the adjoining wooden huts, the bus pulled out along the Kosciuszko Road towards Smiggin Holes, Perisher and Charlotte Pass where the thick fog lifted sufficiently

for a view of the Snowy River and Mt Kosciusko beyond. Snowgums and wildflowers were abundant and provided great photographic subjects.

The day’s activities climaxed with a visit to the Gaden Trout Hatchery located on the banks of the Thredbo River near Jindabyne. Guide Kelly talked about how the sport coldwater fish - atlantic salmon, brook trout, brown trout, and rainbow trout - are bred and raised at the hatchery!

MM also viewed feeding of the big fish that came to the surface in some of the brood stock ponds and watched a 10 minute video outlining the purpose and operations of the hatchery.

And so ended another informative day of fun, laughter, and camaraderie. The onboard informal commentary by Rita Parker, Wally Mills, Judy Costello and Driver David Fletcher contributed to a most enjoyable day for all involved.

Mature Mob is an Initiative of the Anglican Parish of Cooma Heather Jauncey MM Coordinator

Monaro Panel Beaters Ph: 6452 1568

Last year, retired police officer Glenn Grumley moved to Cooma and bought Monaro Panel Beaters from his childhood friend, Edith Flanagan.

He wanted to get out of Sydney and needed ‘something to do’ after retiring and when this opportunity arose he thought it was right. Glenn has always had an interest in cars and been involved in pit crewing and various motor sports for many years.

Monaro Panel Beaters offer their customers a personal service, having had years of experience of dealing with the public as a police officer. You will still see Edith’s friendly face behind the front desk as well as foreman Alan Burt in the shop.

“I’m here for the long term and will endeavor to support the local business economy wherever possible,” Glenn said.

Monaro Panel Beaters are the preferred repairers for a number of insurance companies and they will fix all insurance work, replace windscreens, do restoration work, re-sprays, and they even provide a loan car or they will pick up and deliver your car for you.

“I can understand peoples’ passion for their cars, owning a number of them myself!” Glenn added.

Cooma Rifle Club news Five members attended last Saturday’s shoot from 500 yards for the start of the monthly spoon competition. However only three shooters completed the course with some remarkable results. Captain Don Robb had done some work on Brian Bradley’s rifle and found that the telescopic sight was defective. Don installed another sight and after zeroing it to the range, Brian scored a possible 50/50 for his first stage.

So Brian’s problems were with the sight, not him and he has the ability to get high scores.

(1) Don Robb 49.2 and 49.1 total 98.3, (2) Noel Barrett 48.5 and 48.2 total 96.7, (3) Brian Bradley 50.3 and 44.1 total 94.4.

(2) With handicaps all three broke 100 so next week’s shoot from 300 yards will decide the spoon result.

Michael Apps joins the Board Lisa Ashurst The Board of Recreational Aviation Australia is an organisation that represents around 10,000 pilots nationally and out of all its representatives, both of the men chosen to be the NSW members of the Board are from our local area with the most recently elected being Mr Michael Apps of Cooma, who joins Mr Paul Middleton of Adaminaby who has been on the Board for a number of years.

Both men being elected from the Cooma area can be seen as a positive for the local aviation industry as it places an emphasis on the importance of Cooma and the Monaro in relation to aviation, considering there are aero clubs at Jindabyne and Adaminaby plus flight training at Polo Flat and now at Jindabyne as well. Added to those are the gliding club at Bunyan Airfield plus the airfields at Bombala and Khancoban. But the Cooma-Monaro area is a popular destination for pilots from all over NSW and Victoria anyway and they inevitably boost our local economy every time they fly in.

Having begun flying at the young age of 12, it would stand to reason that 68 years later Mr Apps would find himself elected to the Board of Recreational Aviation Australia and it is an appointment that his wife, Elizabeth, believes is very well deserved.

“Flying is his life” Mrs Apps said recently “and always has been. Plus he has the advantage of a good all-round mix of admin skills as well as his flying skills. But I also believe his dedication to the industry makes him a very fitting choice for this

appointment.”

Following his early introduction to the joys of flight, Mr Apps discovered gliding and his love of this form of flight brought him eventually to Cooma years later but he put the gliding aside when he joined the Royal Navy at age 17 and at 19 was flying as an observer in Korea. He also flew in Aden, the Gulf War, the Falklands and in Antarctica.

In 1973 he left the Royal Navy and joined the Royal Australian Navy. He also took up gliding again to compensate for the fact that he was not actually doing any flying with the RAN! Michael Apps migrated to Australia in 1978 where he met his wife-to-be, Elizabeth, and in 1980 set up an ultralight training school in Uriarra.

He resigned from the RAN and joined the Public Service, renewed his pilot’s licence and began flying regularly from out of Canberra Airport as well as gliding again from Bunyan. On his retirement, the Apps bought the Pilot’s Shop at Canberra Airport.

But they had their hearts set on moving to the Cooma area and eventually bought the Polo Flat Airport from the Snowy Mountains Scheme in 1998 and established a recreational flying school, naming it the Snowy Aviation Academy. Today the Academy caters to many flight students including students from the Snowy Mountains Grammar School and Mr Apps really enjoys training the new young pilots.

With such a long track record in the industry, his appointment to the Board or Recreational Aviation Australia was a natural progression.

Despite threatening weather the semi-finals got off to a start on Sunday morning. In state singles Gordon Cox made his first appearance, having received a forfeit to enter the semis against Graham Clarke with Gordon getting a dream start to lead 17/2 after just 12 ends. Despite his best efforts Graham was unable to make any inroads into the deficit with Gordon gaining a place in the final 31/15. In the other semi John Schroon was slow to get going against Chris Demazin and trailed by 12 shots after just four ends. With a series of good ends John was able to reduce the deficit to 20/26 by end 26 only to watch Chris get going again and win 31/21 to set up an afternoon final against Gordon Cox. In presidents reserve singles Mario Freeze trailed Kim Weston for 18 ends when he scored three three shot ends in a row to lead 21/14 and continued to lead to the 31/23 winning margin. In the other semi Tony Butler made a strong start against Peter Caldwell to lead 15/6. Peter then won 13 ends to gain 21 shots and a 27/15 lead and although Tony scored 13 shots in the run home Peter hung on to win 33/28. In seniors singles semi Peter Marsicano made a good start against Terry Croker to lead 19/6 after 13 ends. Terry was unable to match Peter over the closing stages for Peter to enter the final 32/14.

Several winning ends brought Brian back into the game at 25/26 on end 33 but five shots to three in Sergio’s favour gave him a place in the final 31/28.

With rain threatening the finals got under way on time and both the seniors and presidents singles were over before the rain arrived but it did interrupt the final of the state singles.

Peter Marsicano was the early leader against Sergio Roncelli 12/4 before Sergio started to put points on the board to get to within three shots of Peter. In the run home Sergio could only score once for Peter to win the final 31/11/ Congratulations Peter!

In the presidents reserve singles Peter Caldwell was an early 17/6 leader against Mario Frezza and extended that lead to 22/10 at end 20. Mario then started to score and by end 32 the scores were locked up at 25/25. Two three shot ends to Peter gave him victory 31/25.

The final of the state singles between Gordon Cox and Chris Demczuk was a fitting final with first one player in the lead only to see the opposition regain it. Great bowls were

Rain, rain please go away Golfers found the course long and somewhat wet over the last week of golf at the Cooma Golf Course.

With fairly consistent rain over the last four days it’s very lucky that golfers are such a hopeful and optimistic bunch and while fields were slightly down on the usual numbers scores still reflected the quality of the course at the moment.

Club members were saddened to hear that our friend and keen golfer Benny Bowerman passed away last week.

Benny was a very strong supporter of our club and he will be sadly missed for both his volunteer work and for his positive, warm attitude to everyone he met. Our thoughts go to Marion and family during this difficult time.

So what happened last week on the course…

On Saturday February 11, 42 players hit off in a single stableford medley.

In A grade Norm Marshall won the day with 39 points from Mal Crockett with 38.

B grade saw Charlie Beaumont score 36 points and narrowly edge out Tom Geach with 35 points.

Charlie is probably taking a few lessons from his sweet swinging grandson Hunter (four years old).

C grade was won by the regular winner Dom Rossi with 36 points from Alan Kelly on 35. Ball winners went down to 32 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth was won by Steve Young. Heikki Evans won the 17th with a great shot. Longest drives went to Trevor Bailey, Chris Brown and James Darley.

Sunday saw a stormy day with 16 golfers playing an individual stableford while dodging raindrops.

Dave Patterson had a great round of 41 points

to blitz the field. Dave’s form is just in time for the pennant season.

David Crawford had a fine 2 over par on a long course to come intop of the ball comp. Ball winners went down to 31 points with nearest the pin on the ninth going to Brian Turner. The 17th was taken out

by Steve Young (two days in a row).

On Wednesday the eigth 23 players competed in three grades for the top prizes with A grade being won by Bart Joseph with 36 points.

B grade was taken out by John Alexander with 39 points (round of the day) and C grade was won

by Geoff Glanville (Geoff won this grade the week before as well) with 34 points.

Ball winners went down to 30 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth was a super shot by Charlie Beaumont and Geoffrey Glanville was closest on the 17th.

Next Saturday sees the Snowy Mountains Short Course Championships – don’t miss this one.

On Sunday the RSL four person Ambrose event with over $3000 in prizes is to be played so - what a weekend coming up.

On Wednesday there is a single medley stableford for members and visitors so don’t miss this brilliant week of golf. Of course there is the daylight saving comp. on every Wednesday afternoon. You can hit off up until around 5:30pm with dinner provided it’s a great way to get over hump day.

Junior golf is on this Thursday February 16 and will run every Thursday from 4pm till 6pm until March 1. Members are asked to lend a hand if they can, to encourage over 40 keen young golfers.

See you on the greens.

Squash report – week two Owing to not all games being played on the competition night, full results of the A-grade were not available at time of going to press.

Of those played, Sam Hain Electrical def.

Monaro Discount Tyres 18-6 and Hydraulink Cooma 22 def. Cooma Trophy and Gifts 6.

In B-Grade all matches were played. Standout match of the night was Kailey Tonini v.

Jan Wassink (he was filling in for the night).

Both players did themselves proud with Jan winning the first two games before Kailey showed her true mettle by taking the next two.

However she succumbed in the 5th to lose 9-7 after a very long match. J acqui Schofield had a battle on her hands with Lyn Elton but eventually took the 5th to win.

One of the most interesting results was between Karen Sutton, who lost the first two games to young Andrew Bartell.

So what did she do – she put her husband’s racquet aside and bought a new one off the shelf – returned to the court and won the next 3!!

Another long fight was between youngsters Tim Wassink and Jeremy Mackay, with Tim running out eventual winner after five good games.

Final team results were as follows: Hydraulinks Cooma 22 def Cooma Trophy and Gifts 8; Hillross 20 def Mark Kenmir & Co. 8; Sam Hain Electrical def. Monaro Discount Tyres 8 and Kleven Spain def. Paul Dyball Builders 10.
