Archbishop confers blessings Archbishop Mark Coleridge was kept busy last Friday when he visited Cooma and Adaminaby. In Cooma, the Archbishop conducted a special celebratory mass at the Sir William Hudson Nursing Home, to commemorate the canonisation of Sister Mary MacKillop. The mass was attended by members of the McDonald family, Sr MacKillop’s own family, plus other worshippers. In Adaminaby, Archbishop Coleridge blessed the work being carried out on the rebuilding of St Mary’s Church to replace the building destroyed by fire four years ago. See more on page 3.

The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will delay the reopening of Long Plain and Tantanagara areas of Kosciuszko National Park because it is too wet. NPWS Southern Ranges Manager, Dave Darlington, said today that normally these areas would be reopened after winter on the October long weekend but that this year conditions were very different. “We’ve had consistent rains for some time and the result is that it’s much wetter in these areas than we have seen in the past ten years at least. “It’s great to see this much water up here after a decade long drought but unfortunately for some visitors this means having to wait before they can enter this area in the northern section of the park until things dry out a bit.

“Rain has waterlogged some parts making it very boggy. “Vehicles would cause a huge amount of damage to access roads and trails that we need to remain in good condition for fire fighting purposes as well as general access for the public. “We also don’t want visitors getting stuck in remote parts of the park. “So we will wait until conditions dry out before we reopen the gates,” Mr Darlington said. For the time being the following areas will remain closed: Long Plain Road including Long Plain, Cooinbil and Blue Water Holes camping areas; Broken Cart Trail; Bullocks Hill Campground; Rocky Plain Campground; Quarry Trail; Pockets Saddle Trail including Old Snowy Campground; Four Mile Trail.

Water flows into Snowy River

In preparation for future increased releases from Lake Jindabyne into the Snowy River, Snowy Hydro conducted a large scale test of the Jindabyne Dam Water Release Valves, on Monday. This test resulted in an increase in flows into the Snowy River below Jindabyne Dam. River levels were expected to rise by about one metre between Jindabyne Dam and Dalgety Weir on Monday and Tuesday. Photo by Snowy River Echo.

Blessings flow across Monaro Last Friday was a special day for worshippers across the Monaro, when Archbishop Mark Coleridge and Father Paul Huthnance celebrated a Mass at the Arthur Miles Wing of Sir William Hudson Memorial Centre, Cooma in celebration of Mary Mackillop who is to be canonised on October 17.

The rebuilding has commenced and the Archbishop laid some glass bricks in the frame of a large cross on the back wall of the new church, after which he conducted a blessing ceremony. Many locals who were present on the night the church was burnt down and who have been involved in the planning of the rebuild attended this service.

Mind your mind – Dementia Awareness week The Minister for Ageing, Peter Primrose has announced the NSW Government would continue its strong support for dementia programs, such as dementiaspecific day care centres, as well as research and advocacy. Last Thursday marked the beginning of Dementia Awareness Week, which runs until September 26. Mr Primrose said it was concerning that the number of people in NSW affected by dementia was expected to increase from almost 80,000 at present to more than 340,000 over the next 40 years, according to an Access Economics report released late last year. “It is imperative that we do as much as we can to support people with this condition and

their families and carers,” Mr Primrose said. “Dementia is the leading single cause of disability in older Australians and is expected to become the third greatest source of health and residential aged care spending within the next 20 years.” Mr Primrose said that $653 million was being invested in 2010/11 through the Home and Community Care program to provide support to more than 234,000 people, including many with dementia. “Under this program, growth funding for dementia specific community care services in NSW will total over $5.8 million for the 2009/10 and 2010/2011 financial years.” Mr Primrose said more than $27 million had also been provided to build 16 new dementia day care centres, eight of which are already operating. Another four centres will

open this financial year. Mr Primrose said that the Keneally Government was committed to continue its financial support for resources that helped those people who already have dementia and for research projects aimed at finding a cure for Alzheimers, which was the leading cause of dementia in Australia. Mr Primrose said that Alzheimers accounted for between 50 and 70 per cent of all forms of dementia.

Mike Kelly sworn in to new position Member for Eden-Monaro, Mike Kelly, has been sworn in as the Parliamentary Secretary for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, in the Federal Government. Dr Kelly will be working closely with Senator Joe Ludwig to pursue an ambitious agenda with the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. “I am pleased to have been given responsibility for a portfolio area that directly affects the lives of people in rural and regional areas”, Dr Kelly said. “As a representative of a large rural and regional electorate I am familiar with many of the challenges facing our farmers and the fishing industry whom I’ve worked very hard for over the last four years. “I have greatly enjoyed my time as Parliamentary Secretary

for Defence Support and believe my extensive experience as an ex-serving member of the Australian Defence Force provided a valuable background to my work. “I also enjoyed my work as Parliamentary Secretary for Water, in particular, engagement with our farmers and irrigators. I hope to bring some of the knowledge from the Water portfolio to my new responsibilities. “The Government has committed to working for rural and regional Australia, and I am pleased to be able to contribute to this commitment. “This is an important portfolio area, and one that I have a particular passion for. I look forward to working with our farmers and the fishing industry to deliver for them.”

Piddling Cats and Dogs! If you find that your pet keeps urinating in the same place, you clean it up with a household cleaner and they just go right back and do it again. The reason for this is your house hold cleaner is actually a scent that they mark over the top of! This is a natural reaction. We have specific pet odour absorber products that have revolutionised the removal of animal urine odour. These are amazing products that treat the problem by trapping the odour by absorption. It does not cover up or mask with perfumes, they're enzyme based, bio-degradable, colourless and odourless, and it works! Cleans and breaks a nasty habit.

Woolworths Jindabyne kindly provided the opportunity to promote the Country Women’s Asssociation outside their store on CWA Awareness Day which Mrs Jill Foster took time to examine. Jindabyne branch of the Country Women’s Association is on track with interesting activities for the coming Spring and Summer, after a busy winter when they were officially in recess. First off members will be assisting at the “learn to stitch” group for the young people of the Shire on September 28. Then they are off to attend the Berridale CWA Branch international luncheon to celebrate Scotland on September 29. Scotland has been the state-wide country of study this year. Next comes the annual general meeting of the branch on Thursday, October 7 at 7pm in the CWA Hall, Thredbo Terrace, Jindabyne, when office bearers for the coming year will be elected.

With Spring well under way, the garden enthusiasts will be visiting and exploring a beautiful garden on October 20, although this still has to be confirmed. The branch will be a stall holder at the Gaden Trout Hatchery Open Day on Saturday, November 6, and then again at the beautiful Willawa Open Garden Days scheduled for November 20 and 21. Next April, the branch is bringing the South Australian Co-Opera to Jindabyne for a performance of The Marriage of Figaro.

Cooma could benefit enormously from uni campus A proposal by the University of Canberra (UC) to have a satellite campus in Cooma could soon be a reality, with the application being submitted on September 8. They have made a submission to have two satellite campuses to complement the main campus, one being here in Cooma and the other in Goulburn. Cooma Monaro Shire Mayor Dean Lynch said “I truly believe this could be the biggest thing since the Snowy Scheme came to Cooma. They are aiming at being the biggest single employer in town.” Cr Lynch stated that this would bring somewhere between 200 to 300 people to town, benefiting local business and being an asset to the economy. UC has made a submission for funding from the Federal Government through the Structural Adjustment Fund, which is valued at $400 million dollars over four years. This aims at promoting tertiary education in regional and outer metropolitan areas. This also involves the use of crown land and UC has purchased an adjoining block

totalling the area to approximately three hectares. This would be used for purpose built staff and student accommodation as well as the campus. UC has at present has 12,000 students at its main campus in Canberra with no more space the campus can’t grow as is needed, hence this application for satellite campuses. “Cooma was chosen because of its location, the hour town, about one hour each from the snow, the sea and Canberra, helping to promote a life style and healthy living suitable for students. Its multi culturalism and accepting community, as well as the saftey aspect plays a huge role in UC’s location choices, as a large percentage of students are from different cultures.” Cr Lynch said. Vice Chancellor Stephen Parker from UC made the following comment in regards to the submission, “Leaving aside the intrinsic good of delivering tertiary education into communities, the strategic case for us doing this is to enlarge our catchment area of

students, stamp our presence in the Capital Cr Lynch said.

The response from members By November we should know if we have of parliament, shire councils, the business been short-listed and in March 2011 the final community and other groups has been announcement will be made. phenomenal. In the end 19 letters of support were appended to the application, which suggests that if the grant application is not successful we might still attract local support. I am clear, however, that UC cannot meet the establishment costs of new campus, so they would need to be found externally.” The courses planned would be based around health including nursing, midwifery and age care, engineering and architecture at this stage. SMEC, Snowy Hydro and Greater Southern area Health have all shown overwhelming support, with Snowy Free Seminars for Hydro even stating they would open your financial future up a call centre with part time jobs, perfect for students as well as creating more employment for the local area, REDUCING YOUR MORTGAGE

Local museums planning for sustainability

News

The several museums in the Snowy Mountains were represented on Friday, September 17 in Eden Killer Whale Museum, at the Museums and Galleries NSW workshop “Going the Distance: Planning for Sustainability”. This was the introduction to the Standards Program to be run in the South East Arts Region during 2011. The keynote speaker Ms Karen Griffiths spoke about the Volunteer Programs of the Historic Houses Trust NSW which is in the unenviable position where volunteers actually apply for positions and then undergo a selection process. Dry Plain’s resident, Roger McFarlane of Volunteering ACT presented a high motivational talk on recruiting and maintaining volunteers. Other presentations provided overviews on the operations of the Lady Denman Heritage Complex, the Montreal Goldfields and the Eden Killer Whale Museum. Adaminaby Snowy Scheme Collection Chair, Mrs Jill Madew; Statewide Manager of the Corrective Services Museums Les Strezelecki of Cooma’s Museum and Thredbo Ski Museum’s representatives Alan Fredericks, Graeme Holloway and Chrissi Webb were amongst the thirty delegates who came away inspired about future plans for their museums.

Cooma North Public School last week held their biennial all school performance in their school hall. This year the performance was ‘Alice in Wonderland’, where every child in the school has the opportunity to perform, whether they be in kindergarten or year six. The children only rehearsed for five weeks before the play began and they did a fantastic job, performing for three nights, a matinee performance as well as a special performance for the school. Some of the main cast showed true comic acting ability and the majority of songs performed were quite difficult but the kids handeled them with aplomb. The kids gave their all in their performances and they would like to thank the parents and teachers who helped with the costumes and did such a fantastic job on them.

On behalf of our family I am proud to share some short insights into the wonderful life of my precious Dad. Since Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name started with the letter F and his surname was Fletcher I have taken the letter to guide us through important aspects of Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ie family, farm, faith, friends and fooster! Family - Frederick George Fletcher was born on April 28, 1916 out at Louvain, at Rocky Plain. He was the second child of Isabella and Jack. In 1923, Jack purchased Bellevue at Eucumbene. The family moved there and continued to grow. Life would have been increasingly busy as nine children came along, seven boys and two girls. Fred experienced great sadness at the death of his father in 1933 and felt great responsibility in keeping his mother, the family and the farm all afloat. Life at Bellevue was simple, hard work, prayer, much camaraderie and laughter, and a lot of love. D a d was the rock that kept the home fires burning as he watched his siblings go out into the world to be themselves. A great joy came into Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life when his sister Patricia introduced him to a lovely Goulburn girl - Elsie May Roberts. They were married on 26th February, 1949. Thus began a very beautiful marriage of love, and devotion. Fred and Elsie were a great pair, and dedicated parents to Catherine, Robert, Geraldine, Bill and Maryann. Farm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; life at Bellevue was always challenging but nevertheless so joyful for Dad as he watched his family grow, and his farming enterprise become successful. He always observed and loved the cycles of life and the changing patterns of the seasons. He knew every nook and cranny of the land and loved to point out the latest parrot or delicate nest or marvel that he had discovered while out either walking or riding the horse. The stock were under great care with Dad and he was ever the farmer. He had a deep love of how they were going and how the seasons were affecting them. His knowledge of farming and its intricacies were always the topic of conversation around the large dining table and with the many people he met each day. Dad was able to extend the grazing period on Bellevue by taking up snow leases in his beloved â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hillsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Nothing gave Dad greater pleasure than to have his stock ready and to be preparing his pack for heading to the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hillsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Shoeing his horse, preparing his swag, taking along companions, meeting other drovers, it was so exhilarating for him. After this era passed Dad always spoke fondly of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hillsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experiences as well as times he took skiers out to the Alpine along with his brothers and sisters. Faith - A defining aspect of Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life

has been his deep faith. He has lived his faith and kept it as a precious gift. In the context of life faith has been a very significant part. His devotion and prayer have underpinned his day to day activities. I think the example shown as he grew up, the death of his father and the wonders of life all contributed to an unshakeable faith. He loved his parish, attending church and being with parishioners. Friends â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dad loved people. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know people are alright!â&#x20AC;? He loved to meet new people and took great interest in hearing their story. Yarning along with those in his local community was a source of great pleasure for Dad, whether it was at the Rocky Plain fire shed, meetings at the school, along by the fingerboard or up at the shed. He was always eager for a cuppa and a good yarn. With the building of the Snowy Scheme Dad experienced the great influx of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;new Australiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as he called them! I can clearly recall him singing the praises of his new mechanic at Jindabyne, Hans, he was such a wonderful worker and do know he was alright for a German. F o r t u n a t e l y, Dad had the opportunity to travel with parishioners from Jindabyne and to enjoy the thrill of flying to Poland and over to Rome. Such trips were often mulled over and enjoyed for many years. Always it came back to the special relationships and the people involved that had made the journey so wonderful. Fooster - Dad had magic sayings and its something we all remember him by. If asked what are you doing Fred? He would often reply â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just foostering around!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; which meant he was either looking for something or just cleaning up! Fooster was a verb peculiar to him present tense â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;foosteringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, past tense â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;foosteredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. If things shocked or surprised him he would exclaim â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Starve the lizardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; poor lizards theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still running for cover! If things seemed very big or a piece of incredible news broke, he would exclaim â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hoganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mosesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;!!! These sayings only heightened Dads wonderful sense of surprise and deep interest in whoever he was talking too!! It is hard to sum Dad up in these few short words because he had such a long and magnificent life. He would be intensely interested in the election today, quite bemused that we had a lady Prime Minister, as he said there is no reason why she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as good as anyone else. One thing I do know for sure is that he definitely would not have voted for the GREENS!! Footnote: On Saturday August 21, a Requiem Mass was said for Fred Fletcher at Jindabyneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St Columbkilles Catholic Church and followed by interment at the Rocky Plains cemetery.

ART EXHIBITIONS AT

TVET hairdressing class presentation The girls from the TVET hairdressing course proudly showed off some of the skills they have learnt from their course. Girls from year 12, 11 and 10 make up the group and this was showcasing their work as well as farewelling the year 12 students. The theme for the parade and end of year celebration was “80’s Flashback”, which teacher Sandy Schofield said she knew very well. There was lots of ‘big hair’, lycra, fluro colours and early Madonna style dresses. Sandy said the girls had grown, not just in the field of hairdressing but also as people, particularly one girl who swore she would NEVER speak in public to an audience. She not only showed off her hairstyle creation but spoke publicly for the first time. From this course the girls have also gained life skills such as confidence, tolerance, communication skills, responsibility and how to talk to

new people. Throughout the year the younger students relied on the year 12’s for their help, support and guidance, as Sandy couldn’t be everywhere at once. Affirmations played a huge role in the course and helped the girls reach their goals, whether daily, weekly or long term. They were constantly reminded that you never stop learning your entire life. Thanks to this program there are now two more hairdressers in the community, girls who have previously completed this course and gone on to get apprenticeships locally. There is also a school based apprenticeship program available, if you are interested see the school careers advisor, as this industry is very short of qualified and skilled hairdressers.

CLAIRE’S CAROUSEL

The new licensee’s of the Royal Hotel on the corner of Sharp and Lambie Streets Cooma are settling into their new roles and enjoying meeting some of the local people. Craig and Sarah Linden along with daughter Alyssa have made the tree change from Sydney. Sarah is originally from Jindabyne but has lived in Sydney for the past 10 years. Craig has wanted to get out of the city for a long time and when the opportunity arose for them to take over the lease on the pub they jumped at the chance. Now they are closer to Sarah’s family and are finding Cooma a great friendly community minded town to bring their daughter up in. Both Craig and Sarah come from management positions in the paper industry and this is the first time they will be managing a pub. Sarah’s parents John and Shauna Hulbert from Jindabyne actually bought the lease on the pub when it was auctioned. “Dad has always wanted to have a family pub,” said Sarah “We’re keeping all the original staff.” The Lindens have had a busy couple of weeks learning the ropes from the previous managers who stayed on to help them out for a while. Shannon Stockheim is the new chef and he is keeping the basic ‘traditional pub food’. He will be introducing a ‘spring’ menu and will follow this theme through the seasons. The bistro is open Wednesday to Sunday at the moment for lunch from 12pm-2pm and dinner 6pm-8pm. “We just want to keep the customers happy and the regulars coming back for more said Craig, we are still going to have much the same as it was before with finger food on the bar on Friday nights, badge draw on Wednesday nights, the Joker draw on Friday night, raffles of meat and beer through the Historic Automobile Club also on Friday night. There is happy hour every Monday to Friday from 5-6pm. We will continue all the sponsorships that are already in place for example the Rugby Union Club, cricket and darts on Wednesday nights.” The pub also offers cheap accommodation, whether you’re staying ‘in town’ for the night or you going to the snow or on a motorcycle road trip. All rooms are your classic pub style rooms, with some opening up onto the balcony. Rooms start at $25 per person for a shared room, $35 per person for a single room and $55 for a double room, all with shared bathroom facilities. There is also a secure shed out the back to lock up your motorcycle and a large off street car park to leave your car in. Why not hold your function at the Royal; there are two areas, either upstairs on the balcony or in the fully restored gorgeous dining room off the main bistro area. The Royal Hotel is a local landmark in the Snowy Mountains Region; constructed in 1858 the hotel retains its historic grandeur with its stonewalls, verandah and attractive streetscape. Affectionately known, as "Bundy's" after Mabel Bundy who owned and operated the hotel for several decades the Royal is the oldest hotel in the Snowy Mountains Region celebrating 152 years in 2010.

EXCITING TRIP Once again popular residents Margaret Echarri and Les Smith have been the envy of all their friends having just returned from a wonderful, interesting overseas trip. Commencing with a 15 day tour of Ireland and the Highlands of Scotland both were impressed with how green Ireland was and thoroughly enjoyed visiting a horse stud to see future Melbourne Cup Winners!! and one previous winner now in retirement. The people on the tour loved kissing the famous Blarney Stone and enjoyed inspecting Blarney Castle. It was off to Scotland and Glascow next and they found Edinburgh a very scenic city. No they didn’t see the Lochness Monster. They travelled to London via Chester a Tudor City where Margaret being a Rotarian was able to join a local Rotarian Group for lunch and indeed they were so happy to hear about Australia and exchange ideas. After touring London, it was off to Amsterdam and they are still thinking of the thousands of bikes they saw and the lanes provided for them - beware pedestrians. Now the most exciting part – Oberammergau to attend The Passion Play which is only performed every 10 years. All participants must be local!!? A visit to Innsbruck, Paris, Venice and Rome completed the tour – Les and Margaret enjoying every moment. We are so pleased to have you back safe and well even if we are a little envious!!

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM A remarkable interesting story about children living on a lighthouse island - sounds fun doesn’t it – suitable for children aged 7 to 10 years. The venue is Cooma Public School, Saturday October 2, commencing 10.30am and the cost is $3 per child and adults free. Your children will love this show!!!! BOUQUETS Bouquet to Marlies Keppell, a local resident, who found a wallet containing a large amount of money and immediately found the owner and arranged for him to collect same. This is a great example to us all and much praise for your honesty Marlies. Marlies at this time is recovering from a shoulder operation and we wish her a speedy recovery.

Berridale Lions Spring Fair Berridale Lions first event after our long winter break is the Spring Fair - the eighth in a row - on Saturday October 2 (long weekend), from 9am to 2pm. This event should not be confused with the Daffodil Fete run on September 25 by the ladies of the Anglican Church. One of the challenges with running our Fairs is providing variety so that each fair is not the same old same old. While there is not much that can be done with the variety of stall types, we do have some control over the type and quality of the entertainment. This year, we have decided to forego live entertainment. Instead Community Radio 2MNO will be doing a live outside broadcast. Additionally, as a fundraiser for 2MNO, they will be bringing along their popcorn and fairy floss machines and will have popcorn and fairy floss for sale. A special guest at the Fair will be the 2MNO clown, other special attractions are Fiona Stone’s Clydesdale horse and cart rides at a reasonable

After six years I’ve finally upgraded to a new mobile phone. I had been using a little LG phone that did everything I wanted and never gave me a lick of trouble but the battery was starting to go and after six years, there was no guarantee I’d be able to replace it and besides, the new Third Generation technology was leaving my little 2G behind. All the same, I wasn’t planning to make the change just yet and then Telstra offered me a deal I really couldn’t refuse and as it also included a funky new Motorola Motosurf smartphone I felt that maybe the upgrade had come at the right time after all because the phone came free with the deal. This is all well and good because the phone looks nice and is capable of all sorts of amazing things so now I just have to work out what they actually are and how to use them! So far I’ve worked out how to put my contacts in, make/take calls and send/receive text messages and during the week I stumbled onto the calendar and managed to put a couple of appointments into it. At least I think that’s what I did. Thankfully I have kids and Daughter is a real whiz with things like smartphones so she’s going to show me what my phone can really do

cost and the popular children’s lolly scramble. The jumping castle should also be there and the Club is running sack races and egg-n-spoon races for children up to 12 years of age. Naturally there are a large number of stalls with the usual diversity of products. New stallholders this year include Jewellery and Ceramic Art. Food and drinks are available from the Lions Catering Van at a reasonable price. Due to a change in menu - we now sell hamburgers rather than rissole sandwiched - all hamburgers and steak sandwiches come with salad. As one of the main fundraisers for the Club we look to the community for its support so that we in turn can return to the community in some tangible form the money we raise. The provision of a portable oxygen machine to the Berridale medical centre at a cost of about $6000 is indicative of the type of benefits we can provide to the community. We are looking forward to great support and a great Fair.

when she comes home these holidays but in the meantime I’ve been carefully reading through the manual and finding some of the stuff on my own so I’m not as technologically challenged as I thought I was. But this phone can do all sorts of really clever things and each time I discover something new I just have to share the thrill with Twin I who makes all the right noises to convey how impressed he is with having a mother who can sort of find her way around a smartphone. All I have to do is make excited gestures while pointing at the phone and he’ll actually take his headphones off to ask what I’m going on about. Funny thing is though, I never really thought I wanted even half these features until I got a phone that actually has all of them and now I can’t imagine having a mobile that doesn’t do everything but fly. Not that I’m a phone-tragic or anything. Meanwhile I’m still finding exciting features and functions and just this last weekend I surprised Twin I with my latest discovery. “Hey! Guess what!” I squealed loud enough to be heard over the thumping bass of whatever he was listening to “I just worked out that this phone is also a Transformer!” He was so impressed he was speechless!

Cooma’s Free - You can do it – Property Investment Workshop was a success The Property Investment workshop run at the Alpine Hotel last week by Starcopy was well received with many local residents learning the first steps to successful property Investment. “It’s great to see people taking the first steps to being financially free and retiring

sooner with real wealth”. Said Peter from Starcopy. “We have two types of clients, astute property Investors and people who will become astute property investors, and last Tues was no different.” The feedback received was very positive, with the most common comment being:

“We all need to act, do something about securing our future, if we want to retire and enough money to live a quality life and if we invest in property for maximum returns everyday Australians can retire to a life of their dreams. We have three options, get an inheritance, die sooner or take action be proactive, positive and responsible for our own lives and financial future. WHY PAY RENT??

FlyBoss workshops to be held across NSW A series of workshops will be held across NSW to manage, select and breed sheep to reduce the risk of flystrike. Led by Allan Casey, sheep breeding specialist with Industry & Investment NSW, the workshops concentrate on practical and long-term measures to reduce flock susceptibility to the Lucilia cuprina blowfly. ‘Luci’ is the primary cause for both body and breech strike. “We draw on the latest research information and the successful experiences of researchers and producers. “There is much that actually can be done to significantly and permanently reduce the risk. Most importantly, this can be achieved without any loss of productivity of the flock.” He says resistance to flystrike can be quickly improved. Selection is cheap, easy and permanent; and it can be carried out by producers in-line with their normal ram and ewe selection system. “Selection will improve resistance in the current flock as well as for future generations. “It requires an integrated, planned approach, which involves combining practises such as shearing, crutching, marking, worm and dag control, time of lambing, application of blowfly preventative chemicals and breech modification with the selection and breeding of less susceptible sheep. “The chosen mix of strategies will vary between producers, sheep type, location and enterprise; however, this integrated

approach provides ongoing protection whilst the breeding program delivers the necessary changes to the flock. Mr Casey says selecting sheep with a plainer-breech can very significantly reduce reliance on mulesing. At the same time, a well designed breeding program can improve flock productivity. “We can reduce breech wrinkle and simultaneously improve wool production. “It is a myth that fly resistant Merinos are necessarily ‘light cutters’. There are many people who have successfully changed their approach or are planning to.” Breeding for increased breech strike resistance is more difficult in regions where sheep tend to have moderate to high dags during winter and spring. Breeding for less dags is slower than less wrinkle as some factors, such as hypersensitivity to worms, can not yet be bred for. It is important for breeders to learn the latest on how to reduce dags and dag and urine stain. Flock managers who attend the workshops: - use hands-on activities to pick out sheep that flies like and don’t like; - discuss all the optimal fly management approaches; - select breeding ewes and rams to improve flystrike resistance use the FlyBoss website to advantage (www. flyboss.org.au) Producers leave the workshop with their own personalised flystrike management calendar and having the benefit of the most up-to-date information and tools. The workshops also cover the essential areas of minimising costs and labour

requirements. Already, several have been held across the state, and more are scheduled for the Western Division centres of Broken Hill, White Cliffs and Bourke over the next few weeks. The New England, Dubbo, Riverina and Cooma districts also have workshops planned. Information is available via the ’More information-Industry Training’ section of FlyBoss, at flyboss.org.au The flystrike management training package, and FlyBoss, have been developed by the Sheep CRC, with support of AWI, MLA, Sheep Genetics and I & I NSW. Flystrike has been a major concern for sheep producers for many decades, ever since the Lucilia cuprina blowfly arrived in Australia in the early 1900’s. Recent estimates are that each year treatment costs and lost production associated with flystrike cost the industry $280 million and producers are now balancing the competing needs of protecting their animals against calls to phase out the mulesing procedure. Sheep CRC Industry Training Leader, Lu Hogan, expects the workshops and the FlyBoss website will become key tools as producers plan for the fly season and rams are bought through spring. “Together, the workshops and FlyBoss can help develop a plan and schedule for any sheep enterprise in any location. “It is timely for all sheep producers to review their flystrike management and make a decision that accounts for animal welfare, the wool market and supply-chain signals, enterprise productivity and management constraints.”

Meet your Monaro volunteer firefighters at RFS Open Day Member for Monaro and Emergency Services Minister Steve Whan has urged local residents to join their local volunteer firefighters at the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) Open Day on Saturday September 25. Mr Whan said the annual RFS Open Day is a great way for local people to get to know the volunteers who protect their community throughout the year. “RFS Open Day is a fun event for families and for volunteer firefighters, who enjoy opening up their station and showing the local community what they do,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity for residents to get to know our local RFS members, in a relaxed, friendly and fun environment. “It would be great to see a big turn out as a show of support for the RFS volunteers who give up their time to keep the community safe from bush fires and other emergencies.”

Minister Whan said there will be something for everyone who drops in to their local RFS station on September 25. “Kids will love jumping in the fire truck or having a go with the fire hose, and watching the RFS volunteers display their skills. “For the grown-ups, there’s plenty of information available about how to keep their home and family safe this fire season. “I encourage all local residents to come along and join in the fun, and thank our RFS volunteers for the work they do,” said Mr Whan. The following brigades in Monaro will be participating in RFS Open Day:

• Berridale • Bungendore • Braidwood • Bombala • Colinton • Michelago • Sutton • Numeralla

• Adaminaby • Bungarby

New manual guides livestock’s furry guardians The Invasive Animals Cooperative Research Centre (IA CRC) has released a best practice guide for managing guardian dogs. The Best Practice Manual for the use of Guardian Dogs is designed to equip land managers with the knowledge to be self-reliant in livestock and property protection against wild dogs, foxes and other predators. The manual provides landholders with another option — beyond fencing, baiting, shooting and trapping — to assist them to protect livestock from predation. The manual was launched at the National Farmers Federation congress by NFF President, David Crombie. “Wild dogs can be devastating to livestock producers. So much so, that they’ve even forced some farmers out of the industry,” said Mr Crombie. An IA CRC report issued last year conservatively estimated the costs of wild dogs to wool, lamb & beef producers at around $50 million. A report issued by Queensland’s Agforce put the figure at almost $70 million dollars a year through predation, disease and control in that state alone. “Clearly, the financial impacts are horrendous and these figures don’t even account for the social costs. “Farmers forced to stay up at night to guard flocks or those faced with mutilated animals are clearly impacted by the devastating experiences of wild dog attacks,” Mr Crombie said. The use of guardian dogs has proven to be a cost effective means of managing predation when applied properly. Preventing predation reduces costs associated with pest management expenditures in reaction to attacks and costs of losing livestock. Some graziers and producers interested in using guardian dogs expressed concerns about the lack of information to effectively apply livestock guardian dogs to their production practices. The Best Practice Manual has been developed to fill

this gap — strengthening the nation-wide effort to control the wild dog and fox problem. The IA CRC encourages prospective users to assess their ability to provide proper training and management before making a commitment. “In order to get the maximum benefit from guardian dog protection, proper training and management are crucial for the dog’s effectiveness,” said Greg Mifsud, the IA CRC’s National Wild Dog Management Facilitator. “As with any animal, producers thinking about using guardian dogs need to devote time to ensure it receives the right care and training,” Mr Mifsud said. Land managers can use the Best Practice Manual and other information to assess the suitability for using guardian dogs. Accurate training and management techniques will help land managers take proactive steps toward prevention of fox and wild dog impacts. “Guardian dogs are another tool in the arsenal to help manage the impacts of wild dogs, foxes and other predators. Participation and continued support for community based management programs is still required at a regional and landscape level. “The subsequent control of wild dogs in the regions where land managers are cooperating is providing producers with the confidence to maintain — and increase in some instances — current flocks, while many others are looking at re-entering the industry,” Mr Mifsud said. Along with livestock protection, guardian dogs have also been used successfully for wildlife protection and conservation purposes. The Best Practice Manual for the use of Guardian Dogs was funded through Bureau of Rural Sciences’ Australian Pest Animal Management Program. The manual is available for download from www.invasiveanimals.com or contact the IA CRC, (02 6201 2887) for a hardcopy manual.

Monaro remains in drought The wettest August in seven years has slashed the area of NSW in drought back to just 4.2 percent, down from 7.1 percent last month, Minister for Primary Industries, Steve Whan, said last week. “Today’s figures are the best we have seen in nine years and illustrate the State’s bumper season so far,” Minister Whan said. “The area declared marginal is down from 36.5 pecent to 20.5 percent of the State and 75.3 percent of the State is now satisfactory. The only areas still remaining in drought are around the Monaro region south of Canberra and

parts of the northern tablelands and northern slopes.” Mr Whan said all of NSW received average to above average rainfall in August, except for small patches in the far west. High August falls were recorded at: Perisher 344 mm; Orange 241 mm; Tumbarumba 195 mm; Oberon 163 mm; Tenterfield 110 mm; Glenn Innes 110 mm; Murrurundi 108 mm; Albury 100 mm. “Improved seasonal conditions are a direct result of above average falls being recorded over much of NSW throughout this year,” Mr Whan said.

Last week the CHILL Foundation joined forces with leading snowboard company Burton, Youth Off The Streets and the Perisher Resort to provide an opportunity for 14 at-risk youth to visit the snow and learn to snowboard through the CHILL snow program. Through the sport of snowboarding, CHILL aims to teach the kids vital life skills including patience, persistence, responsibility, courage, integrity and pride by taking them outside of their usual circle of friends, outside of their comfort zone, and placing them in an environment that can at times be both challenging and rewarding. Director of the Australian CHILL Foundation, Tim Morris says, “CHILL empowers these kids by including them in a world that they have previously seen as belonging to someone else. CHILL gives them a peek at what is possible and provides them with

a healthy, new perspective about themselves Fourteen children aged 12-18 from Youth Off The Streets were transported from Sydney to Jindabyne to take part in the CHILL snow program. Upon arrival they were provided with Burton snowboarding equipment, dressed head to toe in Burton snow gear, and were shuttled up the mountain to Perisher each day where they enjoyed the slopes and took lessons on how to snowboard, as well as learning valuable life skills with the encouragement and guidance of CHILL Foundation staff. General Manager of Marketing and Hospitality for Perisher, Gary Grant said “It was great to be in the position to assist by hosting this worthy cause here at Perisher last week. Spring is a great time in the mountains and with all the recent snow falls they couldn’t have planned a better time for the kids to experience the sport”.

Paddy Pallin Junior Classic 2010 Subject to weather and snow conditions the 2010 Paddy Junior will be held at Perisher Valley on Saturday September 25. Entry will be on the day, and there’s no charge. Just turn up to register and pick up your bib at the Perisher Nordic Shelter from about 10:00 on Saturday morning 25 September. We hope to run the event regardless of the snow conditions (unless there are blizzard conditions). The race itself will start at 11am. The race is for all children up to 16 years of age (for the 2010 race you must have been under 16 years at December 31 2009). It is suggested that you ring either Tim Greville on 02 6456 3834 or Sandra or Tony Greville on 02 4844 5047 sometime on or after Wednesday 22 September or 0418 412 460 on Friday to confirm that the event will take place. The Paddy Pallin Junior provides an opportunity for juniors to try cross country skiing.

It’s a fun ski race (no prizes for first, second and third) but everyone gets a certificate! You can ski in it if you are only two years old or over 15, as long as you were under 16 at December 31 2009. The distance you ski depends on your age and snow conditions. The older skiers (14/15 year olds) ski up to 5 kilometres – the younger skiers (3/4 year olds) ski a few hundred metres, depending on conditions. In 2010 the race will be held at the Perisher Valley Nordic Shelter. After the race the festivities will be held in or around the Nordic Shelter. Originally organised by Paddy Pallin, Tony and Sandra Greville have run it for the last few years with the support of Paddy Pallin, Buttercup Bakery, Canberra Alpine Club and CAC members. Come and give it a go! For information ring Tim Greville on 02 6456 3834 or Tony or Sandra Greville on 02 4844 5047 or 0418 412 460.

Cooma Rifle Club Last Saturday morning started out fine, clear, warm and almost windless for the second shoot for the monthly spoon, held from 400 yards. Later in the morning there was a change with the northerly breeze being replaced by a brisk south-to-south westerly wind with turbulance caused by the ridge south of the range. First stage generally were better than the second stages because of the wind. The off-rifle scores were: Noel Barrett 48.3 and 46.2 total 94.5, Frank Toth 48.4 and 43.0 total

91.4, Graeme Crundwell 43.1 and 44.0 total 87.1, Roger Avis 33.1 and 42.1 total 75.2, Brian Bradley 34.0 and 34.0 total 68.0. With handicaps Noel won from Frank, Graeme and Brian. The spoon award was easily settled, as Brian was the only shooter to shoot on both days of the competition. The spoon will be awarded next week. Next Saturday shooting will be from 500 yards for the monthly heat of the club championship and Gregory Shield annual competition.
