Easter Bonnets Tommy Tomasi features on Cooma cover Tommy Tomasi, a Jindabyne resident who helped shape one of Australia’s premier ski destinations, has been selected to appear on the cover of this year’s Cooma White Pages® and Yellow Pages® book, to be distributed throughout Cooma, Jindabyne, Bombala and Snowy Mountains from March 17, 2012.

This year’s covers program theme, A Helping Hand, The Aussie Way, recognises Tommy for his work establishing the Thredbo Ski Patrol and helping skiers stay safe.

the Thredbo Ski Patrol is one of Australia’s most professional ski patrols. Thanks to Tommy’s leadership, its members provide an essential service, sign posting and flagging ski runs to ensure safety on the mountain as well as tending to injured skiers.

Tommy still provides his local knowledge to patrol members and, when not skiing, can be seen entertaining tourists with his life story.

“It was while skiing on the mountain with my friends when I realised should anything happened to us, there was no one there to come and help us. So when I heard the ski resort was going ahead, I knew I had to start a patrol,” said Tommy.

“It was difficult to get good skiers in those days, but I convinced some workmates to help out. The rest is history, as they say.”

Each year, Sensis®, the publisher of the White Pages® and Yellow Pages®, recognises the efforts of local people in their communities by celebrating their achievements on the cover of its books.

The theme for this year’s covers, A Helping Hand, The Aussie Way, was inspired by the thousands of Australians who go above and beyond to help someone in need, or their local community when times are tough.

Valentine’s Ball beneficiaries Pictured, Cathy Toohey and Catherine Boole form Lambie Street Preschool with Emma Hill represeneting the ball organisers and MCCR committee member Tania Ward.

On Tuesday March 13, the funds raised by the Valentine’s Ball was presented to the nominated beneficiaries, Lambie St Preschool and MCCR. More than $2000 was raised by the ball that was held on February 11.

Guests were entertained by Clancy Music Productions, then danced the night away with music provided by the fabulous band Hit Parade.

Cooma Lambie Street Preschool offers quality early childhood education to many families in Cooma.

There are more than 100 children from local and outlying districts who attend preschool each year.

The preschool is not for profit community based service which relies on the generosity of the local community to support it financially, so that it is accessible to ALL families. The preschool was purpose built over 50 years ago by the Lions club, with community support.

This building is now in need of repair and is no longer big

enough to meet family needs.

There is a real need to renovate the building to comply with building standards and to offer a better quality of service to the Cooma community. The money raised from the ball will help with this necessary building and allow the service to be more responsive to the needs of the community and the children.

MCCR is a non-profit organisation, run by Monaro volunteers.

Funds from the functions have been distributed in two main directions – research and support for local cancer care facilities.

The money raised from the ball will go towards MCCR’S new pilot program, the Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS) which aims to provide practical financial support for individuals or families struggling with the challenges of a cancer diagnosis and related treatment issues for the populations of CoomaMonaro, Snowy River and Bombala Shires.

Further delays stem Nimmitabel Water Supply Delays continue to plague the Nimmitabel water supply project.

Further issues have arisen via ongoing requests for additional environmental assessments to satisfy the requirements of the Office of Environment and Heritage, with delays compounded by the need to address Aboriginal artefacts which have apparently been located on the site along with the reported presence of threatened flora species.

Richard Lawson, current President of the Nimmitabel Advancement Group, feels the delays are reasonable however, under the circumstances.

“Some issues have come to light which have led to things taking longer but that’s just how it is.” Mr Lawson said.

The development of Lake Wallace on Pigring Creek would provide an ideal long -term solution for Nimmitabel, which has always had water issues and these were especially highlighted by the critical water situation that emerged at the height of the drought.

The Nimmitabel Advancement Group have been looking at several options to remedy the water situation for some time and strongly believe the Pigring Creek option to be the most practical solution for the water problem. It is an ideal site for dam construction, as much of the infrastructure in already

in place and the group say the development would ensure a much more permanent and reliable source of water for the town.

While the design drawings for the dam have been drafted, it cannot be finalised until Aboriginal assessments, required prior to the commencement of any geo-technical work, have been completed. Furthermore, progress on the Review of Environmental Factors has been held back as a result of additional Aboriginal and environmental work being requested on the site. The presence of threatened flora species has also resulted in further work under the NSW Threatened Species Act and the Federal Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Act, which has incurred added costs as well.

An initial environmental report did raise some flora and fauna issues however these were deemed to be manageable at the time the report was done.

“The flora, fauna and the Aboriginal artefacts are definitely issues that have to be dealt with very thoroughly and we need to ensure all the Ts are crossed and all the Is are dotted.” Mr Lawson added. “We really have to get this right the first time around” The project completion has now been revised to September 2013.

Red Cross calling With the numerous floods, cyclones,bushfires and earthquakes that have ravaged our region over the past few years, we have seen many people turn to Red Cross for support in times of desperate need.

But what many people don’t see is the increasing number of people we work with every day providing support such as a reassuring daily phone call to isolated or elderly Australians to check on their wellbeing or serving up a nutritious breakfast to children who would otherwise go to school hungry. Red

Cross provides such a service in this area by telephoning isolated or elderly folk via the Telecross Program. Details can be obtained by phoning a local branch member on 6452 3722.

In the years to come, many people will turn to Red Cross for help in times of crisis and we’re determined to be there when they do, which is why we turn to the community each March and ask them to support Red Cross through local Red Cross Calling activities.

Red Cross Calling is a time of year when local Red Cross members take to the streets to raise money to support the every day work of Red Cross.

Lake Jindabyne to see pressure ease off with water releases

The flood water is well into Banjo Paterson park in Jindabyne.

The NSW Office of Water and Snowy Hydro Limited have reached an agreement on the release of water that will enable levels in Lake Jindabyne to be reduced over the coming weeks.

NSW Water Commissioner David Harriss said that flows would be released from Lake Jindabyne to the Snowy River in a pattern that would mimic ‘natural’ flow patterns expected at this time of year, albeit higher which, in-turn, reflects the inflows over the past weeks.

“Lake Jindabyne is currently at full supply level, which has not been seen since early 1974. The current levels are the result of record inflows over the past couple of months and changed operations to enable Snowy Hydro Limited to deliver ‘flushing flows’ this coming spring.”

Mr Harriss said that the reduction in lake levels would remove pressure on businesses and facilities that are impacted at full supply or near full supply.

The creation of airspace in the lake would also provide some potential flood mitigation capacity for landowners and towns on the Snowy River downstream of Jindabyne Dam during the coming winter.

“I stress, however, the agreement is not

about flood mitigation, which is only one issue that has to be considered along with securing water supplies to towns and industries and maintaining the health and productivity of rivers in a highly variable climate subject to extended droughts and extreme floods.”

The current proposal is for 80,000 megalitres to be released over a 19 day period commencing Tuesday 20 March with a maximum release of 12,000 megalitres per day for one day.

The pattern of releases is designed to provide some environmental benefit immediately downstream of the dam to Dalgety, but given the recent high natural floods there is minimal incremental environmental benefit further downstream.

Mr Harriss said that the figure of 80,000 megalitres was the median inflows that would be expected over the coming months to the end of winter.

“The agreement effectively pre-releases what would be expected to come into the dam and spill anyway, while full supply was maintained.

This means that water availability to the Snowy River environment and irrigators west of the ranges are highly unlikely to be reduced in the coming year.”

Emergency services report Embankment accident At approximately 5.30pm on Friday March 16, a 60-year-old female was traveling on the Snowy Mountains Highway about five kilometres east of Cooma. She is believed to have blacked out, causing her vehicle to leave the road and run into the embankment.

She had her grandchildren in the vehicle with her at the time of the accident, who escaped any injuries. She was taken to Cooma Hospital and the vehicle towed.

Warning issued A 33-year-old Cooma male was witnessed to park his vehicle at the bottom end of Sharp Street at 3.45pm on Thursday. He then got out of his vehicle and urinated on the street.

He was given a warning by police.

Roll over A single vehicle accident on Carlaminda Road, about two and a half kilometres from Numeralla, at 1.20am on Sunday has left a 40-year-old Cooma woman with serious injuries. A 38-year-old Katoomba male was driving the vehicle from Cooma towards Numeralla when he has lost control, hit an embankment and rolled. The female was ejected from the vehicle and sustained severe head injuries. The male driver was breath tested at the scene and returned a positive reading. He was arrested and taken back to Cooma police station where he was charged with mid range PCA and dangerous driving, causing grievous bodily harm. He will appear in court at a later date, as police enquiries are continuing.

Vale, Margaret Whitlam, one of Australia’s independent spirits. No matter what side of politics you are from, Mrs Whitlam certainly represented strong, opinionated women.

She was one of the colourful characters in Australian history.

Well done to Yvi Henderson and her MAGIC group for their huge multicultural festival in Cooma on Sunday.

There was such a diversity of culture, language and tastes, there was really something for everybody. This is the sort of event Cooma could develop into a major festival – let’s hope it continues to grow.

This weekend sees the Relay for Life happening at Nijong Oval. This 24-hour walk helps raise awareness of cnacer within the community and also invaluable dollars to help with research.

If you don’t already have team, it’s not too late to enter. Show your support for cancer survivors – we all know one at least!

The Postman has been trying not to comment on politics recently, but it’s just not possible to not to comment on a couple of things.

One of these is the ascension of Bob Carr to the Senate and to the position of Foreign Minister. Mr Carr’s arrogance while Premier of NSW won him few friends – it’s a fair bet it will not do him, or Australia, any favours while he is Foreign Minister.

Picking on PNG was just the first of the many gaffes we can expect from this egotist.

The other source of irritation concerns ‘asylum seekers’ in boats leaving Indonesia to sail to Australia. Tony Abbott said last week the Opposition would turn the boats back to their port of departure – Indonesia.

He has been criticised for these comments, but they raise a valid point. If the boats are using Indonesia as a staging post, what is the Indonesian Government doing to curtail this illegal and potentially lethal trade?

They can’t seriously expect anyone to believe they don’t know what’s going on? If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck…!

Accuracy required Editor, In reply to the letter “Proposed Cooma renal Unit” in the CoomaMonaro Express on Thursday March 8 written by Dr Max Alexander, CE of the Southern NSW local health district – I am concerned that Dr Alexander has slipped back into his negative state of mind.

I wish to state that the numbers of dialysis patients would reach 160 in the future.

At the present we have 14 patients dialysing in Canberra, Queanbeyan, Bega and Cooma and there are six patients waiting for treatment.

These numbers are being updated monthly.

Dr Alexander needs to get his numbers and facts correct and keep them updated if he is to do his job properly.

Also, Dr Alexander seems to have forgotten that stated at out first dialysis working committee meeting that the renal specialist in charge in Canberra stated that Cooma unit is to have four chairs and four machines and that the area is to be large enough to extend

chairs and machines to eight in the future.

Also at that same meeting it was moved, seconded and agreed that then the planning committee should take into account that this region is a major tourist destination and we will have to cater for the tourists as well as our own.

The renal specialist knows more of what is going on, better than some bureaucrat in an office.

In my opinion, Max Alexander has got it all wrong- be ‘on the ball’ Max and don’t be so negative.

We, at the Renal Dialysis group are very pleased about the new unit going ahead and it will be wonderful for all the patients to use it and not have to travel any more and for this our grateful thanks go to John Barilaro, Member for Monaro.

Court users’ meeting Editor, Unbeknownst to many of us ordinary folk, a court users meeting has been arranged for this Thursday March 22 at 3.30pm.

Being our court services, these meetings are generally open to the public. But many of us were not told about this particularly important meeting and found out by accident.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst It’s everywhere isn’t it? I’m talking about advertisements in general, television ads in particular and how television programs are broken up to make way for them. Not two or three anymore, but several in a row! It’s got to the point where you can not only take advantage of the ad break to make a dash to the bathroom and back before the program starts again, you could actually take a shower as well, seeing as you’re already in there, and you’ll still make it back to the lounge room before the end of the ad break.

And there’s a lot of ad breaks in programs now. But what is really sending me slit-eyed with aggravation these days are the ads that are popping up at the start of short online videos, be they news or whatever. Who let that happen? You know the ones, you click to an online video and instead of what you were hoping to see you get some banal ad with the message “Your video will start in 30 seconds following this short ad break.” Always seems like a long 30 seconds to me but hey, if I wanted to watch ads I’d turn on the

We are supporters of our court registrar of many years, who was moved temporarily from Cooma a few weeks ago.

This highly controversial and unwanted transfer is now under threat of becoming permanent.’

Jane Reid Cooma NSW 2630 TV! If I’m clicking on some news item or whatever, I want to see the item and only the item, not have to sit through some totally irrelevant advertisement.

I don’t need to see them okay! In fact, I am so incensed with having them foisted on me in this way that I find myself hating whatever it is the ad is trying to sell me. Like, I am so not spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on that luxury BMW vehicle now, so there!

But why are they attached to the video anyway? Things like news videos are fairly short as they are focused on a specific incident but I guess that’s why the ad is shown first; that way we have to sit through it before we can get to the item we really wanted to see. Sneaky, if you ask me.

When it’s all said and done, companies have lots of options for foisting their ads on us. There’s TV, billboards, the print media and various online ad spaces made specifically available to them so why can’t they just be happy with all of those and butt out of things like online videos that are supposed to be showing us something else?

Sure, we get to it eventually but we don’t need the darned ad thrust in our faces first!

If there was a way to comment via the video I’d send them this column.

Bombala Show was able to present a full program of events last Saturday, even horse events. Competitors made the most of being able to compete in events which were cancelled from Cooma Show, or missed due to Delegate and Dalgety Shows being cancelled.

Hope he’s been wormed?

Worming your pet, whether it be a dog, cat, rabbit, guinea pig or bird is essential for your animals well being and also protection for yourself and children from contracting worms.

A good time to remember is ‘Change of Season’, so now is a good time.

Remember to always use a quality wormer. Worms will build a resistance to low quality or supermarket brands if used on a regular basis.

If you are bringing your dog to be groomed at the Cooma Pet Shop, as a free service we can worm or flea treat your dog for just the cost of the product.

Putting their experiences into words - Poetry in Prison Prisoners became poets with a new book launched last Tuesday at Cooma Correctional Centre.

Poetry in Prison features poems and songs by 11 prisoners about their lives, experiences and feelings.

“It was an opportunity to embrace a part of the community that is largely ignored,” said Heidi Kunz of South East Arts.

Over 12 months inmates attended workshops run by Australian author and humorist, Harry Laing. After the workshops the prisoners read out their works on Cooma Community Radio.

“There’s genuine talent in this collection of poems, pieces and songs,” wrote Mr Laing. “I find them vivid moving and honest.”

Judy Young, former senior correctional education officer said it was a great exercise in improving the men’s self expression and confidence.

Lyn Orr, from the CCC, recalled a

conversation she had with an inmate in the program “He said it made him feel he was giving something back even though it was just words.”

Part of the aim of the project was to give prisoners a chance to express themselves in a new way.

AS Leszek Strzelecki, state-wide manager of museums put it “Those words, they come from the inside.”

According to Ms Kunz, profits from sales will go back into the book’s publication. Poetry in Prison is available for purchase at Cooma Goal Museum.

Cool Jazz at Thredbo Yalumba Festival this weekend This year Yalumba Thredbo Jazz Festival celebrates an impressive 25 years of great jazz at the foot of the spectacular Mt Kosciuszko with more than 80 musicians performing

in venues located in picturesque Thredbo Village.

Held from March 23 - 25, the festival highlight will be the 25th Anniversary All Star Concert

on Saturday evening hosted by James Valentine featuring talented musicians from Australia and overseas.

Thredbo Village is a breathtaking venue with the majestic Mt Kosciuszko towering over the village adding a touch of dignity to the festival.

From its humble beginnings in 1988, Thredbo Jazz Festival has grown to be one of the major festivals on the Australian jazz calendar. During the last 25 years, the Festival has played host to hundreds of talented local and international jazz performers.

A special aspect of the festival has been the inclusion of young upcoming performers giving them an opportunity to perform beside their mentors as they begin their jazz careers.

This year, the stellar line up of musicians appearing at the festival includes James Valentine, who will be leading his own quartet and hosting

the 25th Anniversary All-Star Concert.

Sunday by the Pool will be the venue for the longstanding tradition, the Thredbo gospel session which will feature Jeff Duff and Friends.

Festival goers will also have the opportunity to take the increasingly popular free swing dance classes by Jumptown Swing (ACT).

It promises to be an invigorating, p o w e r- p a c k e d weekend with a dash of groove and jazz for those wanting to chill out, relax and enjoy the fresh mountain air.

Breastscreen mobile van in Cooma The BreastScreen NSW mobile van will be visiting Cooma from March 19 until April 13.

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

Director of BreastScreen for Southern NSW Local Health Network, 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 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 at the Cooma Showgrounds.

For appointments contact BreastScreen NSW on 13 20 50.

Wainggai is a committed nonviolent activist who currently lives in Washington D.C, campaigning for the rights of the West Papuan people.

In 2005 Australian and Papuan researchers released a report estimating that 100,000 Papuans had died under Indonesian rule.

In 2006 Mr Wainggai and a group of Papuan refugee sailed to Australia in a canoe.

When Australia accepted them as refugees, Indonesia withdrew its Ambassador from Australia.

‘Young Womens’ Red Cross 45th birthday reunion Members of the Cooma Branch of the Young Women’s Red Cross, now Red Cross, gathered for a reunion lunch at Cooma ExServices Club last Saturday.

Former members from Cooma and Canberra enjoyed reminiscing about the 45 years their group met and contributed to the community through various fundraisers and events.

The branch was formed in September 1967, with the inaugural executive comprising Carol Montague as president, Mary McCarthy secretary, Helen Cape treasurer, assistant secretary Shirley Metcalf, publicity

officer Catherine Dunstan, and vice presidents Norma Field, Fran Sweeney, Beth Cameron and Shirley Redden.

The reunion included a display of old press clippings highlighting the group’s activities, such at the Fashion on the Field awards, bridal gown parades, etc.

In all, 26 members attended the reunion.

Valuers urge buyers “do homework to avoid repossessions” Propell National Valuers is urging Australians wishing to buy or invest in property to do their homework to reduce the potential of repossession from lending providers.

Mortgagee in Possession (MIP), more commonly known as ‘repossessions’, allow lenders to recover costs by taking possession of properties and re-selling it in cases where mortgages are unpaid.

CEO of Propell National Valuers, Bart Mead, encourages anyone considering purchasing a property to see a valuer in the first instance.

Mead urges buyers to look beyond immediately available

grants to ensure they can repay the necessary payments not only for the next 12 to 18 months, but for the next 12 to 18 years.

“Knowing the state of play from the beginning can help to reduce the chance of repossession.

“Valuers know the history of the area, the current sales trends and the potential future of infrastructure within communities, so seeking advice from a valuer can help you decide to buy or not to buy with greater confidence.

“The insights gained through a valuation can help buyers to not over-borrow, and the outcomes may suggest other

areas to buy in that have seen or are likely to see an increase in value in the future,” he said.

MIP valuations at Propell National Valuers have risen across regional and metropolitan Australia in areas of varying affluence.

“Propell has seen an increase in almost every area, with some locations more than doubling,” Mr Mead said.

Home owners and would-be buyers are encouraged to contact a valuer for an assessment of their property, or a property being considered for purchase. Visit www. propellvaluers.com.au or phone 1300 825 837

RBA rate decision welcome Statement by Executive Director of the MBA-ACT, John Miller

Mr Miller said that while the RBA had chosen to leave rates on hold in March, it remained to be seen what the major banks would do in light of their decision to move Canberra’s peak building and construction industry organisation, Master Builders ACT rates independently of the Reserve in February. has welcomed today’s Reserve Bank board decision to leave interest rates on hold.

“However, on the available evidence the banks have little reason to move their rates The executive director of the MBA-ACT, John Miller said the decision to leave rates on independently of the Reserve having done so just a month ago,” he said. hold represented good news for a home building industry which was still labouring under the dual burdens of fragile investor sentiment and continuing global economic uncertainty.

Mr Miller also noted that while the major banks had moved to lift interest rates independently of the Reserve Bank’s decision in February, this had not been the case with “Last week’s building approvals figures, revealing a national seasonally adjusted a number of the non-bank lenders such as credit unions and building societies. increase of just 0.9 per cent in January represented compelling proof of the need for interest rate stability and certainty,” he said.

“On that basis, we would be most disappointed to see any movement on the part of the banks this month,” he said.

Mr Miller said that just as importantly, the RBA had been sending consistent messages on monetary policy which was helping to build rebuild investor confidence in the outlook Mr Miller said that while the Canberra home building industry had managed to weather for the short to medium term. the recent economic adversity reasonably well, it could ill-afford any prolonged uncertainty with respect to interest rates.

He said this contrasted with the more speculative environment which had served to dampen investor sentiment through much of 2011.

Old Vs New

One of the most common questions I am asked is what is the best investment Old or New properties? There is no doubt you can do well with both. We have helped many people on both established and new.

But there is no doubt NEW property is the best investment, like with all investments when you buy well educated and wisely.

WHY? There is a number of reasons why New is the best property investment for safety, security and success and is the first pick for astute investors.

1. Save thousands off your Tax – New properties have maximum tax benefits through depreciation. Saving you thousands of dollars yearly buy paid weekly. Properties PRE 1987 are not depreciable. The first 5 years of any property have the maximum benefits.

2. You save thousands of dollars on stamp duty, as the there is only stamp duty on the land value.

3. Higher rental income and demand – most people want to live in a new property therefore you can charge more and screen more, and property managers prefer new.

4. No time required Hassle and fuss free for you. Old properties nave maintenance issues which can cost you thousands new properties with quality builds and inclusions have minimal to no maintenance in thre first 10 years 5. Maximum Capital Gain for you, when you invest wisely in a new property in locations that have infrastructure growth which drives population growth which squeezes demand and therefore pushes up prices. Where in an old property there is no new infrastructure growth generally so you are relying on median house growth in the suburb to achieve growth These are 5 reasons if you would like to learn more please visit prosperitygroup.com.au\monaropost.

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.

MFS traineeships underway Monaro Farming Solutions has traineeships underway.

Member Craig Mitchell was main initiator of traineeships due to the problem of retaining and attracting young local youth to choose a career in the agricultural industry Approximately 48 applicants applied across the region, and eight people were interviewed.

Traineeships were given to Jake Goodlock and Daniel Rowson.

The traineeships comprise full time, paid, 12 month positions, linked with completing a Certificate IV in Agriculture delivered through Cooma TAFE. MFS member Craig Mitchell is pictured with trainees Jake Goodlock and Craig wanted to give young people the Daniel Rowson at Cooma TAFE. opportunity to gain skills and get an understanding around the Monaro area” and his main interest is of a broad view of good management practices livestock, Hereford cattle. across the Monaro. “The average age of farmers is Daniel is working around the Cooma area being going up, increasing the need to train up younger shared around approximately eight - nine different farmers” properties.

Barber’s Pole warning for the South East Vets and Livestock Health Rangers in the South East Livestock Health and Pest Authority are urging sheep and goat producers to implement drenching strategies to prevent infestations of Barber’s Pole worm.

Worm testing of flocks across the tablelands and coast has uncovered a rapid increase in egg counts. There have also been a number of producers reporting deaths attributable to this parasite and for which small ruminants develop little resistance.

Ian Lugton, South East LHPA district vet, says conditions have been ideal for warm-season worms to proliferate over the early summer.

“The rainfall we have recently experienced across the district has allowed many eggs to hatch and worm larvae on pastures to survive,” he said.

“In a normal season we’d expect Barber’s Pole to be at its peak during the autumn. But we’re expecting the peak to be much earlier this year.”

“With a wet forecast ahead, Barber’s Pole is shaping up to be a major disease issue for all sheep and goat producers.”

Dr Lugton said action is required now to prevent deaths and reduced flock productivity.

“Either administer a sustained action drench now or check burdens with faecal egg counting or the Haemonchus Dipstick dung test to see if Barber’s Pole worms are present.”

“If safe paddocks are available, run the stock there when the sustained action period is about to run out and follow up with further testing to ensure that the drenching has been effective or to see if the worms are gaining the upper hand again.”

Dr Lugton reminded producers to use good drenching practices and dose to the heaviest animal in the mob. As there are a plethora of sheep drenches out there, producers should also consider which drench will be most effective for their individual situation.

For more advice contact your local office of the South East LHPA.

Monaro Farming Systems donates to local student fund A progressive group of local farmers is spearheading a programme to help local Monaro students, with a donation of funds and an employment opportunity for agricultural trainees.

Monaro Farming Systems was formed by a group of farmers four years ago with the aim of furthering innovation in the farming sector and encouraging progressive farming practices on the Monaro.

Among programmes instigated by MFS is a merino genetic evaluation trial (wether trial) to provide up to date, objective measurement comparisons for wool and meat production traits for 24 teams of 15 sheep from properties around the Monaro and as far away as Yass and Crookwell.

The sheep are run as one mob and shorn each year to minimise environmental variation and optimise data comparison. Fibre diameter, greasy fleece weight, yield, body weight, fat score and carcass yield, are all included in the trial data.

Monaro Farming Systems is donating proceeds from the initial “even-up” shearing of the trial sheep to the Monaro Education Foundation. The funds totalling $3000, will be donated to the MEF in instalments of $1000, over a period of three years.

The first $1000 cheque was presented to Monaro Education Foundation President Melanie Haylock, by Alan McGufficke, a member of Monaro Farming Systems and manager of the wether trial.

Mr McGufficke said that MFS is very keen to help young school leavers from the local region.

“As well as this donation to the MEF, Monaro Farming Systems

are also employing two agricultural trainees in 2012, to be working on a range of farms. This will enable them to gain maximum experience across the board in farming enterprises in this district”, another MFS member, Craig Mitchell said.

Ms Haylock said “This is a great help to the MEF, and will be used to provide financial assistance for needy local students to pursue their education towards a career.”

This year the MEF is assisting 17 local students in a range of courses including veterinary science, primary teaching, psychology, and plumbing and electrical apprenticeships.

Ms Haylock added “Among the difficulties facing students, is the necessity of moving away from home in order to attend university, as well as the very high costs of study and of accommodation.”

The MEF is a local not-for-profit group, dedicated to assist local Monaro school leavers to achieve the skills or qualifications they need to start a career.

The umbrella organization (The Country Education Foundation) has secured links with more than 20 tertiary institutions in NSW, ACT and South Australia. This means that students who are helped by the Monaro Education Foundation are also eligible for special financial assistance provided by co-operating universities.

Be a part of Cheap Eats Night (and Day) on the Monaro Following the success of 2011’s Cheap Eats Night initiative, which took place in Jindabyne during National Youth Week, Snowy River Shire’s Espy youth council is extending the event to the whole of the Monaro.

Cheap Eats Night (and Day) 2012 will see cafes and restaurants across the region (Bombala, CoomaMonaro and Snowy River Shires) offer discounts to young people aged 12 – 24 years, and their families.

It’s a great opportunity for young people to connect with the local business community, and to share an affordable meal out with friends or family.

In 2011, dinner discounts of 10 to 20 percent were offered by a number of Jindabyne restaurants. More than 50 young people participated. In 2012 we will expand the event to include breakfast and lunch, giving young people additional opportunities to eat out and connect with their community.

Cheap Eats Night (and Day) is scheduled for

Thursday 19 April, during the New South Wales school holiday period and National Youth Week.

Participating eateries, inclusive of the restaurant’s location and specific discount on offer, will be featured on our “cheap eats” DL flyer. These will be distributed at the region’s schools and other public places in the lead-up to Easter. The event will also be promoted on radio and through social media. Young people aged 12 – 24 years and accompanying family are eligible for the discount. Alcohol may not be included. Cafes and restaurants interested in participating should contact Youth Health and Development Worker Meghan Quinn at Snowy River Shire Council on 6451 1506 or Meghan.Quinn@ snowyriver.nsw.gov.au by Thursday March 29.

Questions about this or any other Snowy River Shire youth week initiative should also be directed to Meghan Quinn, as above.

(Monaro Division Development Coordinator) ROTARY MARKETS SUCCESS Last Sunday Rotary Markets in conjunction with Yvi Henderson’s Multicultural Community Festival proved an outstanding success.

There were numerous stalls and the dance groups were fabulous – so talented and such a variety. The entertainment began with bagpipes played by Chris Adams and an amazing lot of talent from different countries followed – the audience was spellbound and soon tapping their feet to the African and South American Music. (Everyone loved the drums!).

Food from different countries cried out just to be tasted and a medical health stall where you could have blood pressure and other tests done and an information table full of posters about the Dialysis Satellite room planned for Cooma and an on the spot invite to meet patients and a buddy (who volunteers to assist patients) proved popular.

Also interesting to see the Well Being Expo information stall and a demonstration of The Shelter Box. Many thanks to all the hard working volunteers and the performers who travelled long distances to entertain us.

Annual nursing home fete Mark in Sunday April 1 on your calendar so you won’t miss out on the Sir William Hudson Aged Care Facility’s Annual Fete, which will be held in the grounds of the Facility from 10am till 2pm.

One of two fundraisers held annually, the annual fete is always a popular community event. There will be all the usual attractions on site including produce and plants, cakes, books, craft and white elephant stalls as well as the Rotary wine auction and the Lions Club barbecue. There will also be face painting, chocolate wheel, drinks and morning teas available.

Then there’s the big auction with an array of fine goods up for grabs thanks to the generosity of the local business houses. “The local community is always very generous” Administrator Kay Fasch said “and we are really

grateful for their support.”

The traditional auction sale will commence at 11.30am and there will be a special item this year thanks to the generosity of Bruce Bashford, who has once again donated a puppy from his highly regarded working dog stud.

“We would love to see some more items donated for the stalls” Ms Fasch added “as we need more things, so any help there would be greatly appreciated.”

The main raffle this year is offering some great prizes, including Wish Cards to the value of $500, donated

by Snowy Hydro for the first prize and a second prize of $200 worth of Wish Cards donated by SMEC. If you can donate anything to the fete or assist in any way, please telephone Sir William Hudson Memorial Centre on 6452 3588.

Brumbies rugby carnival Brumbies Rugby Development hosted 16 teams on Tuesday March 13, in the annual Cooma Rugby College 7’s and High School 10’s Gala day at the Nijong Oval in Cooma.

High schools such as Bombala High, Jindabyne Central, Monaro High, Snowy Mountains Grammar and St Patrick’s Cooma all participated.

St Patrick’s and Monaro High shared the win in the 7/8 division, St Patrick’s took out the 9/10 division and Jindabyne Central battled all day with only six players to win the year 11/12 competition.

Brumbies Rugby Development Officer, Sam Rolfe said, “The response from the schools has been fantastic and it was a great day of rugby”.

“The one-day carnivals provide schools the opportunity to introduce students to Rugby Union in a safe and fun manner, without the commitment of a full season”.

“All of the Schools that competed last year are back again and have entered more teams then ever.”

“We’re hoping these carnivals will, in the long term, lead to an increase in the number of kids taking up Monaro High and St Pats in the rugby gala day.

Rugby in the Monaro region”.

A Primary school Rugby Gala day is planned for Wednesday March 28. in Queanbeyan on March 23. The winner of the Brumbies Rugby are holding College 7’s and College 7’s finals will then play in a curtain raiser High School 10’s carnivals in Batemans Bay, Bega before the University of Canberra Brumbies vs. and Goulburn, with the winner of each of the four Durban Sharks game on Saturday March 31. tournaments qualifying for the finals to be held

On Saturday the 4BBB Club Championships were held in fine conditions with Brian Turner and Brian Searl winning the day with a fine 45 points off the stick. Runners up were Steve Young and Dave Paterson with 43 points. Ball winners went down to 42 points with nearest the pin on the 9th going to Steve Young and on the 17th to Terry Johnston. In A grade longest drive went to Trevor Bailey, B grade Dom Rossi and C grade Martin Gelling. The 10th hole for longest drive sure sorts out the men from the boys.

Sunday saw round three of the super stableford played. It was an all Jindabyne affaire with Bruce

Burton winning the day on a countback from Chris Brown both with 32 points. Ball winners went down to Dave Ware on 28 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth was Brian Searl and on the 17th Sam Patricks put one nice and close.

On Wednesday Charlie Beaumont had a fine 35 points to edge out Norm Marshall on 34.

Ball winners went down to 29 points. Prawit Prakotasung was nearest the pin on the ninth with Malcolm Crockett having the nearest shot on the 17th.

Pennant results were not to hand at the time of writing.

Next Wednesday sees a single stableford to be played with Sunday seeing round four of the super stableford.

Saturday of course sees the Commonwealth Motors Holden Scramble so don’t miss a big week of golf coming up golfers.

See you on the course.

Cooma field & game Shoot Results On Sunday March 18, Cooma Field & Game held their monthly Clay Target Shoot at the range at Middlingbank The 100 Target Field and Game is an Annual Graded Handicap Shoot.

Handicaps are free targets and allocated according to the ability of the shooters so an AA Grade shooter may only be allowed four free targets per 100 and a C Grade shooter may be allowed up to 56 free targets per 100 targets. It is common for a C Grade shooter to win the overall high gun on the day because of the up to 56 free targets allocated to them.

We had shooters attend from Canberra and Bermagui as well as the locals.
