Hope for uni Cooma still has hopes of having a campus of the University of Canberra established here.

Cooma-Monaro Shire mayor, Dean Lynch, said this week he had been in ongoing discussions with the university about the proposal to bring a campus to Cooma.

Cr Lynch said a new round of Education Infrastructure Funding will be announced in the next few weeks and the university was intending to apply.

He said the proposed Cooma campus would be smaller than that originally mooted.

Cr Lynch remains hopeful Cooma will attract a campus. He said there had been indications of interest in a number of different courses, such as agriculture, for a Cooma campus.

Rose Valley Service The Cooma Monaro Historical Society has errected a plaque with names of people buried in this pioneer cemetery.

New dementia support worker for region Alzheimer’s Australia NSW has a new Dementia Advisor, Verity Jackson, based in Cooma.

An estimated 269,000 people have dementia in Australia, which is projected to double by 2030.

Statistics such as these suggest the need for such a support service in the community.

Ms Jackson is based at the WerriNina Centre, 227 Sharp Street, Cooma, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Alzheimer’s Australia NSW Regional Manager Barbra Williams said she was pleased to have Verity Jackson on board as the new Dementia Advisor, who will work in the shires of Cooma-Monaro, Bombala and Snowy River.

“The Dementia Advisory Service has proven invaluable to many people with dementia and their carers throughout NSW,” Ms Williams said.

“Dementia Advisors can provide support to people living with dementia, and their families and carers and can help link people in with available services.

“They can also provide education and advice, and things like help with managing behavioural changes, providing hints and tips for family or friends when visiting someone with dementia and much more.”

As part of Dementia Awareness Week last week, Monaro Regional be available for hire over free to call Ms Jackson Library has made a the next few weeks. on (02) 6452 3961. display of books near If you have any further the entrance which will questions, please feel

Boost to IPTAAS payments The Member for Monaro John Barilaro has welcomed the NSW Government’s $28 million boost the Isolated Patients Travel and Accommodation Assistance Scheme (IPTAAS).

The Minister for Health and Minister for Medical Research, Jillian Skinner, has announced the detail behind the $28 million increase.

Patients who need to travel long distances for treatment will receive a massive 30 per cent boost in their accommodation subsidies and a 25 per cent boost in petrol subsidies.

This is the first time the accommodation subsidy has gone up in 11 years.

The NSW Government is delivering a boost of $28 million over four years, including $7 million this year.

“The NSW Government wants to make sure patients aren’t deterred from travelling to access vital treatment and this significant boost will help,” Mr Barilaro said.

“It’s tragic to think that some people are declining treatment because of the long distances involved,” he said.

Changes to the scheme: • For the first time since 2006, there will be an increase in the rates for travel and accommodation assistance for people needing to travel at least 100 kilometres one way for specialist medical treatment.

• Accommodation subsidies increase by

4 x double passes

The Minister for Health, Jillian Skinner, said she was pleased to deliver on an election promise.

“This boost supports the NSW Government’s commitment to ensuring that the people of NSW have access to timely and quality health care regardless of where they live,” Minister Skinner said.

The new arrangements, which come into effect on 1 January next year, will also allow any patient travelling at least 200 kilometres in one week to claim IPTAAS subsidies.

Previously, only patients travelling to access renal dialysis services were eligible to claim under this rule.

There will also be a change to the current $40 administration fee charged for processing claims made by patients who are not pensioners or health care card holders.

From January 1, once a patient’s IPTAAS subsidies reach $1,000 within a year, the $40 administration fee will be waived.

At the fundraising evening for Melissa Strange last Saturday were her partner Andrew Smith and Richard Nichols.

Manning the bar were Rogan Corbett, Mick Manthey and Louie Elia.

Handing over the steering wheel “Time certainly does fly” was what Charles Mugridge was thinking at 5pm last Friday September 23 when retired after 46 ½ years of bus driving.

Born and bred on the Monaro, Charles began his busdriving career with Ansett Pioneer on March 2, 1965.

He drove the Dalgety school bus for 18 years up until 1983 when he gained a contract with Jindabyne Sport and Rec. The company was later bought by Trailways and then by Queanbeyan based company, Dean’s Coaches.

From 1990-91, Charles took over the Jindabyne run. He kept this run up until 2010, even when Snowliner bought it in 1992.

After being off work ill in 2010, Charles started back at the beginning of this year but changed to operating the Berridale run.

When asked why he had been a driver for such a lengthy time, he responded, “I’ve loved the driving part of it and have

got on with the kids pretty well over the years”.

“I really enjoyed their company and I’ve developed a lot of fond memories.”

“Some people even tell me that I could write a book on my experiences, but I doubt anyone would publish it!”

He says that now retired, he’ll be able to get back into his bowling and do some fishing. “I really like my fishing and I only live about 10 minutes from the lake,” he said.

Although nothing is permanently planned yet, Charles and his wife, Melva, will be able to visit family more often.

“Even now, I bump into some of the kids I drive around, and they come up to me to say g’day,” Charles commented.

“Some of them are really top kids!”

He admitted that no job is perfect but overall; he has really enjoyed the past 46 ½ years.

“I’ve seen a lot, met many people and it has been a really good experience!”

St Paul’s damaged by fire Person or persons unknown have caused considerable damage to the porch of St Paul’s Church, Cooma, overnight on Friday.

Reverend Paul Cohen discovered the damage on Saturday morning and alerted police.

The fire was restricted to the table and windowsill in the porch. The stained glass window above the table did not break, although the carpet has been damaged by the fire.

Police inquiries are continuing into the cause and the culprit.

The porch at St Paul’s Church, Cooma, sustained damage in a fire overnight last Friday.

Bush Fire Awareness Week NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) Fire Mitigation Officer Fred Nichols from the Monaro RFS has said that the fire activity seen across NSW this week is a timely reminder of how quickly bush and grass fires can take hold, and that preparation is the key.

NSW RFS volunteers across Monaro are encouraging residents to be actively involved in this year’s NSW RFS Bush Fire Awareness Week, being launched at RFS Open Day this Saturday. “We’re urging everyone to review their circumstances and ensure they have a plan in the event of a bush fire. “Bush Fire Awareness Week is about connecting with communities and helping people evaluate and understand their potential bush fire risk, and undertake the necessary preparation. “Whether you live, work or travel through bush fire prone areas it is essential that you know what you will do in the event of an emergency. “Despite the wet weather we’ve seen over recent months, there is no room for complacency – people need to plan in advance what action

they will take so they’re not making life saving decisions at the last minute,� Fred Nichols said.

NSW RFS Bush Fire Awareness Week started with RFS Open Day on Saturday and runs until Friday September 30.

Mr Nichols said people can assess their home’s bush fire risk using the NSW RFS Bush Fire Household Assessment Tool available at rfs.nsw. gov.au “There are five simple steps every resident should take during Bush Fire Awareness Week, to reduce the risk of being affected by bush or grass fires: • Prepare a Bush Fire Survival Plan • Remove leaves and debris from gutters • Maintain grass, keeping it short • Remove potentially flammable items like mulch or wood piles • Trim back branches close to your home.

More information about Bush Fire Awareness Week and protecting your property from fire is available on the NSW RFS website, www.rfs.nsw. gov.au.

Power upgrade set for Cooma The second stage of a major network upgrade for the Cooma town centre will be carried out by several Essential Energy crews on Thursday September 29.

Regional general manager South Eastern, Phillip Green, said crews from Cooma, Bombala and Jindabyne will be hard at work in and around Baron Street replacing several poles and upgrading powerlines to improve power supply reliability for the area. “We’ve brought in extra crews for the day to upgrade several spans of high voltage powerline, replacing older copper lines with new stronger and longer lasting aluminium wires,� Mr Green said. “The project plan for the day also includes the replacement of four powerpoles and the installation of new cross arms. “Improving the network in and around Cooma town centre is a key priority for Essential Energy and the work that will be carried out on Thursday will go a long way towards strengthening the network for businesses and residents in the area.�

Essential Energy is advising residents in Bombala Street, Baron Street and surrounding areas that a planned power interruption will be required to complete the work safely. “Weather conditions permitting, an interruption to power supply will be required between 8.30am

and 4pm on Thursday September 29. “We apologise in advance to any residents that will be inconvenienced by the interruption as our crews work to boost the capacity and secure power supply reliability for Cooma,� he said.

Well, that’s it folks…the local footy season is now officially over. It must be, because now the blokes are talking about cricket.

Hmmm, Andrew Wilkie might find his wowserism coming back to bite him.

With the NRL and AFL rolling up their collective sleeves to oppose his pokie law reform, the ensuring political debate should be very interesting. Will this be the trigger for a double dissolution?

If it does cause an election, would Mr Wilkie be re-elected? Would Rob Oakeshott survive the poll? We live in interesting times.

Now here’s a conundrum. A working bee at the racecourse has found a pretty old implement and they would like to reunite it with its owner.

At about the 600m (two furlong) mark, they have found an old short-handled, square mouthed shovel. It was under the trees. Whether it was being used there and forgotten, or stolen and thrown there, it has obviously been there for a long time.

The shovel has the markings in weld, on one side - bob hayes - and on the other side FYO999. Does anyone know who Bob Hayes is or was and does he want his shovel back? Any information to The Postman, please.

Did everyone see the mayor of Bunyan on the ABC’s Collectors last Friday night?

Mr Shanley’s impressive tractor collection could have filled an entire program on its own. But The Postman thinks Bill’s ‘missus’ should also have appeared to give her views on farmers asking to be buried with their tractors. That would have added another element to the story.

And to the person/s who caused the fire in St Paul’s church on Friday night…… that’s REALLY playing with fire. So much for the church being left open for parishioners to use – looks like that can’t be done anymore. Too many irresponsible people about to do that, it seems. What a shame.

Electricity price increases Editor, There is a need to balance the information fed into the Public domain in the debate over electricity price increases. The subject also extends beyond reasonable limits and gives hinge to the elevation of scientific knowledge and dollar money-managers of the present generation to the divine status of omniscience.

I write as an electrical engineer near the end of long and very fulfilling career. My expertise is in the design, specification, testing, management and contract writing for large renewable hydro-electric energy generation and switching.

Many small renewable electric power energy systems have been promulgated in recent time and this technical advance is good. However, please read the accompanying message by Prof. Dr Robert Barr, President of “The Electric Energy Society of Australia”, just released in their bi-monthly Bulletin. He, with his doctorate in electrical engineering, challenges the lack of cost-benefit reporting publicly of the multitude of schemes which would have to contribute to the considerable escalation in electricity pricing beyond normal increases from renewal and extension of the electricity grid.

In personal conversation with Dr Barr to write this letter, he also drew my attention to the typical electrical engineering problem when we have to design around non-linear electro-magnetic behaviour. One non-linearity can be accommodated reasonably but more than one nonlinearity on top of another makes the problem insoluble for an absolute certainty. There is a parallel here to the arrogance in statements of climate scientists when many nonlinear climate influencing factors, natural and man-made, do apply. It is then that no authorative conclusions can be drawn.

Could King Canute command the advancing tide to stop and retreat? Earthquake, volcano, flood, cyclone, drought, solar radiation, all remind us of an engineer’s limitations in managing our world’s systems in a very short span of life-time accumulated knowledge.

Who in Australia, from politician, to economist, to scientist, dares to suggest we can do more than be more than responsible creative users and developers of the earth’s, the ocean’s, (with their vegetation, birds and animals) and the sun’s energy resources for the advancement of

the welfare of all mankind.

Please give thought with the attached message by Dr Barr to do what is ours to manage responsibly and not let a climate scientist be so dictatorial while we take responsibility for our own part in the world we live in. Let the politician (or economist) beware of thinking with omnipotence on these issues.

Walter Mills, BE(Elec.), MIEAust.

COOMA Too Many Green Schemes?

Over the past few years we have seen governments introduce numerous complex “green” schemes into the electricity mix. In NSW I can count five (5) separate schemes. The Commonwealth government has the Large Scale Renewable Energy Target Scheme (LRET) and the Small Scale Energy Renewable Scheme (SRES).

In NSW we have the NSW Greenhouse Gas Abatement Scheme (GGAS), the NSW Energy Saving Scheme (ESS) and hidden in NSW Network Service charges is the “Climate Change Fund”. In addition to these schemes we have generous solar rebates across most states also adding to electricity costs. No doubt there are many other schemes across the country that I’m unaware of.

The obvious question is why do electricity customers have to pay for so many separate well meaning schemes? Are they all effective?

Are we getting value for what we are paying as customers?

Some of the schemes are already very expensive and some are preprogrammed to ramp up in cost due to ambitious targets such as the 2020 20% renewable energy target.

Most Australian electricity customers are unaware of the reasons for the recent very large price increases. While the green schemes are not the only cost drivers, the large cost implications of these green schemes are now becoming apparent and has to be dealt with. It is time for a full audit and cost/benefit analysis of all these schemes. As an electricity customer I’m very unsure of the specific objectives of these schemes. Is it to save carbon? Is it to conserve our fuels? Is it to cut electricity use? Is it to increase our sustainability? These differing objectives require different policies and approaches. It appears to me that we have lost track of what we are trying to achieve. cont’d Page 18

There will be lots of information on how you can save water (and money), including Council’s waterwise plants for the Monaro, and tips for saving water around the home.

We will also have some giveaways:

On Thursday 15 September 2011, an onsite BBQ was held to celebrate the successful completion of the road works, on schedule and on budget.

Various involved staff and contractors attended.

We were also pleased to see some local residents turn up and chat with the construction team.

Malcolm and Lindie Rose were pleased to see money well spent in their area.

MULACH AND COMMISSIONER STREET FOOTBRIDGE REPAIRS

Stress Water Drop

Major repairs have been completed on the Mulach Street and Commissioner Street footbridges. Both bridges have been re-planked to make them safe and attractive to use. The Mulach Street footbridge is also programmed for repainting.

HILL STREET EROSION CONTROL

Book Marks Removable Tattoo

The verge in Hill Street was damaged by storm flows of water which had created gullies in the soil.

In response to a customer request the verge has been gravelled and sealed to prevent future erosion damage.

Go into the draw to win a ‘Hughie Sink’ – ‘Product of the Year’ 2008 and finalist in the 2009 Australian International Design Award – Consumer. The Hughie Sink can be used by every member of the family to capture water which would normally go down the drain when washing hands, cleaning the veg etc. We have 25 sinks in various colours to be won.

For your chance to win a ‘Hughie Sink’, visit our National Waterweek Display at the Library and fill out a ticket. The draw will take place on Friday 21 October 2011 and winners will be notified by phone.

VALE STREET DISABLED PARKING SPACE Council has recently made improvements to the disabled parking space in Vale Street near Woolworths.

The work has provided an extended concrete footpath, new access ramp and a widened painted space perimeter.

The result is a safe and more accessible parking space for people with a Disability Parking Permit.

St Patrick’s participate in Jump Rope for Heart Kindergarten to Year six students at St Patrick’s Parish School participated in the Jump Rope for Heart on Thursday September 22.

The students took part in several activities from 11:30am – 1pm.

All the students were divided up into groups to allow each of the groups several Kindergartens, Yearr Ones, Twos, Threes, Fours, Fives and Year Six students.

There was long rope skipping and short ropes while listening to the Jump Rope CD, Wriggling Snake rope challenge, Rope Relays and Adventure Rope Obstacle Course just to name a few.

While the students were doing this there were parents cutting up fruit to make fruit salad cups which the students later enjoyed along with a healthy lunch from the school canteen.

Students have been sourcing out sponsors for their jump rope day for the last 10 weeks. All money will be sent in to

help the Heart Foundation After lunch, several groups of students performed their skipping routines in front of the school. It was pleasing to have a perfect, sunny day.

The Heart Foundation Jump Rope for Heart was established in Australia in 1983.

It is renowned for being one of Australia’s most popular physical activity and fundraising programs in schools.

Since the inception of the Heart Foundation Jump Rope for Heart over 25 years ago, more than 90 per cent of all Australian schools, involving 8 million school children have participated in this fun and active program.

Each year the Heart Foundation Jump Rope for Heart attracts over 400,000 students, in over 2,300 schools with over 700,000 sponsors comprising of families, friends and members of local school communities.

Top results for JCS Computer Skills Jindabyne Central School recently participated in the International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) Computer Skills examinations.

The competition, conducted by Educational Assessment Australia and the University of New South Wales, saw three JCS students Marlee Diver - Year 3, Sky Burdett - Year 4 and Austin Beck - Year 5 awarded high distinctions.

Students from over 20 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, Pacific and the USA participate in ICAS each year.

“The school was thrilled with all JCS student’s

results. There were also a high number of distinctions and credits achieved by our students due to the extensive technology program at JCS,” Principal Gary Atkinson said.

Three new interactive white boards have been installed in classrooms and three more are scheduled for next year.

Mr Atkinson commented, “The focus on technology in the school gives students a greater understanding of how technology can be used to help their learning.”

Pictured from left is Jindabyne Central School students Austin Beck, Marlee Diver and Sky Burdett who achieved high distinctions for computer skills in the University of NSW 2011 competition.

Monaro High School selected for International Drama Festival For the second year running Monaro High School has been selected for the prestigious annual Connections Drama Program run by the National Theatre in London.

As part of the 2012 program, Monaro High School will produce the Australian Premiere of a new play commissioned by the National Theatre in London.

Schools and theatre groups from across the UK and around the world apply to participate and Monaro High School was selected as one of only four international groups. The only other Australian group chosen is the NSW Schools State Drama Company.

“It’s incredibly exciting to be chosen for the program again,” Head Teacher of Drama and English at Monaro High, Ian Greig, said. “I think it’s a reflection on the skills we develop and the

creative and artistic direction of the school.”

“It’s a huge honour to be the only Australian school chosen. Drama has a proud history at this school, we have produced many talented performers and this provides an opportunity for the students to be involved in the entire process of producing a play.”

The Drama students are currently involved in the process of selecting a play from a list of ten possibilities written by internationally renowned playwrights.

Earlier this year Monaro High staged the premiere of “Shooting Truth” by Molly Davies as part of the 2011 program. A video of this performance is now in the archives of the National Theatre in London.

A Musical Journey where East Meets West Local music enthusiasts are invited to come on a musical journey where east meets west that begins in Cooma and finishes in Tehran.

Cooma School of Music will present “Persian Nights” with Judith Marriott and friends at St Paul’s Anglican Church Hall on Friday October 7 at 7:00pm.

The night will begin with works by Don Banks, an Australian composer, and then travel through Europe with music from Spain and Germany. The next stop will be Armenia, with a beautiful work by Khachaturian. The concert will be completed with works by the great Persian composers, Alizadeh and Siavash Beizai.

This concert will combine the talents of both Australian musicians and Persian musicians. Representing Cooma will be Judith Marriott, Leslie Spencer and Glenyss Allen.

We are very fortunate to have the talents of two wonderful musicians, Arya Bastaninezhad and Melika, who are visiting Cooma in preparation for an International Music festival in Tehran later this year, in which they will be performing these works with Judith.

Instruments featured will be clarinet, bass clarinet, cello, piano, guitar, flute, ney (a very beautiful Persian flute) and voice.

Tickets cost $20 - adults, $15 concession and $10 - students and are available from the Cooma School of Music It will be a wonderful evening as the common thread to all these compositions is their exquisite melodies. Come along and witness this rare experience for yourself that is guaranteed to lift your spirits!

Nothing fishy about this donation

Standing – Christine Parkes, Tracey Morris, Pat Hole, Margaret Wainwright, Lois Judd, Bev Schornegg, Joy Mueller, Sue Piper; Sitting – Gwen Russell, Lyn Heidtmann all of CWA and Rob Thomas of Friends of Fish Committee.

Adaminaby Branch of the CWA decided this year to celebrate CWA Awareness Day by making a donation towards the restoration of the Big Fish.

Members presented $500 at the last meeting. The photo was taken by the Snowy Echo who generously agreed to share it with other newspapers.

The Big Fish is important to Adaminaby being a beacon for visitors and a source of pride to the residents.

This year the Branch has donated money to the Monaro Education Fund of the Monaro CWA Group and to the Queensland Flood Appeal as well as to Head Office.

While fund raising is an important part of CWA it is not the be all and end all of being a member as we take an active interest in our community and what is

going on and try to support as much as we can.

Two of the Adaminaby Branch members are on the CWA Social Issues committee and have had input into a diverse range of issues including Aged Care, the Disability Insurance Scheme, whether cheques should be phased out, early childhood care, transition arrangements at schools and more.

All this is done in a spirit of fun and friendship.

In November, Adaminaby Branch will be 80 years young.

To celebrate this, as well as having a birthday lunch, we are having a garden competition for Adaminaby, Anglers Reach and surrounding areas.

This will be judged in the first week of December.

A group of students from St Patrick’s is heading to Tasmania to compete in the Australasian Pacific finals of the Tournament of Minds competition.

The team competed in the Applied Technology division and were winners of the regional heats and then the ACT final.

Tournament of Minds is a competition where teams have six weeks to work on a challenge and then present their solution as a short play on Tournament Day at the Australian National University.

They are also judged on their teamwork and creativity in responding to a spontaneous challenge on the day.

To add to the challenge, teams are not allowed any outside assistance, use mainly recycled materials for props and costumes and must select their members from a range of school years.

Tournament of Minds was introduced to Australia in 1987 by the Victorian Association for Gifted and Talented Children. Since then it has grown to include all Australian states and territories as well as Singapore, Hong Kong and New Zealand. This year 60,000 students took part with the winners from each state or territory as well as New Zealand and Singapore travelling to Hobart on October 13.

Mr Naylor said the MFAA had been an advocate of tighter regulation in financial services, a focus supported by the Core Data findings on ‘compliance’.

“In addition to the requirements of the National Consumer Credit Protection Act, MFAA-approved brokers are required to adhere to the MFAA Code and Disciplinary Rules, which require a higher standard than the Act.”

18 Post & Rail Electricity price increases from page 8 A thorough cost/benefit analysis would weed out the less effective schemes and focus attention on what the objectives of all of these schemes should be.

And that brings me to the new Carbon Tax. This will be yet another scheme added on top of all the existing schemes. No one seems to looking at the big picture when it comes to green electricity schemes. If we are locked into a new carbon tax, governments should look at winding back some of the other schemes. We need some clear green objectives, some serious cost/benefit studies and governments that better understand the aggregate cost impacts these schemes have on struggling electricity users. Ineffective

schemes need to be eliminated.

My last point is that we need transparency. Hiding green and other costs in electricity bills and pushing them onto electricity retailers and network service providers is no longer acceptable.

The green schemes and their individual costs should be listed onall our electricity bills. Customer awareness of these schemes would improve along with a better understanding of the costs and the benefits.

More transparency would mean a better informed public able to make better green choices.

Wednesday September 28, 2011

Reader sympathises with landowner Editor, After reading your article about the recent Cooma-Monaro Council meeting, I have decided to voice my opinion about unnecessary contributions.

This is not the first time the Lutons have attempted to build a home on their own land, and been met with opposition from council regulations.

The excessive rules and red tape have previously hindered the owner’s attempts to reside on his own farm, and it appears that this is still going on.

There have already been administrative fees and I believe it isn’t fair to seek further contributions from this family for no good reason.

It is unreasonable to assume that all Development Applications will cause a so-called “increased demand on public amenities”. In

Adaminaby spring quilt show The Adaminaby CWA members are getting ready to hang their annual Quilt Show for this weekend.

This is an exciting time as they open the bags and examine the quilts and other exhibits.

The ladies are digging out the Quilt stands and other things they use to mount the display. The

depth of talent and artistic ability of the quilters never ceases to astonish.

this case, there is no obvious increase on any council services. Shannon’s Flat does not have street lighting, garbage collection, and the road will be used just as often as before their DA was approved.

The DA fees were all paid on time, and it has already cost them high amounts of money to meet council’s requirements and I can not comprehend how another contribution can be justified. After all, it’s just a small worker’s cottage – talk about bleeding the farmers!

I might be alone in my thinking, but then again, I wonder if other people (or some of the councillors) feel just like me?

Robin Mould Cooma

It is often said that quilting is about taking large pieces of fabric, cutting them into small pieces and sewing them together to make large pieces again.

This is akin to saying golf is a good walk ruined.

Geometry was often considered to be a boring subject while at school. Now those, in some cases, long forgotten skills are being called into use.

This year, quilts have been entered from far and

wide – Mudgee, Wollongong, Yamba, Canberra as well as from local quilters. Hanging the quilts is a huge task – challenging but enjoyable for the members and those who have been co-opted to assist.

This year there are a number of stalls and demonstrations promised for the Saturday and Sunday. Among these are Rosemont Patchwork and The Crafty Frog from Canberra, Robin Duncan from Bungendore, Ruth Ellis and The Hall of Fabric from Cooma and other patchwork outlets.

The show is open on Saturday and Sunday from 10am till 4pm and on Monday from 10am till 12 pm and then the job of dismantling it and returning the quilts takes place. Cost of entry is $5 which includes a bottomless cup of coffee or tea and biscuits.

Cooma Public School enjoys Iceland On Wednesday last week, Stage 3 classes, 5S and 6J, made a presentation on Iceland to the local Country Women’s Association.

Each year, CWA has a focus country. Throughout the year, the ladies research the relevant country, this year being Iceland, which is why the local students made such a presentation to them.

Coordinator of the CWA research program, Marilyn Watson, presented a cheque for $25 to the school, which was gratefully accepted.

Students also Trinity and Craig are pictured with CWA member, Marilyn Watson, and the Iceland diorama that she made. conducted research on the culture and made from goodies such as chocolate meringues to small speeches to the guests.

They displayed a PowerPoint presentation and more unique treats like pepper cookies.

Overall, the day was proved to be a culturally even cooked up some delicious Icelandic foods educating and enjoyable experience. for all to enjoy for morning tea. Foods ranged

Pictured above right, Numeralla Landcare president Jim Wharton with Cooma Waterwatch Co-ordinator and also Numeralla Landcare member, Antia Brademann.

COOMA Twin Cinema 76 Commissioner Street Thursday 29th September – Wednesday 5th October 2011

The upper Murrumbidgee Restoration Program started this year with the MCMA (and other stakeholders) deciding on two sites for rehabilitation work and erosion control.

Both sites were upstream from Numeralla and only 400 metres apart.

As part of the project, Numeralla Landcare was contracted to supply and plant 900 plants (a mix of shrubs and trees nurtured with loving care at Tablelands nursery) to support the stream bank stabilisation work In stream work involved the construction of groyne cribs (timber cages with rocks) and rock revetments to help deflect flows away from the prone riverbank sections.

This was completed under a separate contract by local plant operator / musician!

Peter Jackson .

The Plants were then placed to support the banks around these structures and along the abutting stream bank alignment.

Last Sunday saw the completion of the task with the final 200 plants being planted.

Aerial control of weeds

Wednesday September 28, 2011

Lambs sell to $144.50 in Cooma

Cooma’s last sheep sale saw good prices realised for most lines.

Cooma Associated Agents sheep sale on September 19 saw good prices realised for suckers, lambs and ewes.

Vegetation Management Officer Jean-Monique Hawkings gives directions to Georgia Grant the pilot, while Richard Clark re-loads the helicopter Recently 14 landholders took advantage of an aerial spray helicopter operating in the Shire for the control of Serrated Tussock and African Lovegrass.

Snowy River Shire Council also entered two (2) properties under Section 20 of the Noxious Weeds Act, 1993 and carried out 185ha of control of dense infestations of Serrated Tussock in terrain that is difficult to access by ground spray rigs. A total area of 596ha of Serrated Tussock and 60ha

of African Lovegrass, with a total of 656ha being aerial sprayed.

This control work amounted to approximately $58 000.

Landholders took advantage of this aerial spray service because of its economical and effective method of applying herbicide in difficult to control areas.

This control work is of a great benefit to both the landholders, adjoining neighbours and to prevent further spread of these infestations.

Workshops on native veg laws NSW Farmers is inviting farmers to have their say about changes to the Government’s native vegetation laws by attending one of its upcoming meetings across the State.

NSW Farmers will be holding workshops in Cooma this Thursday, from 3pm to 5.30pm to seek feedback from individual farmers regarding the changes needed under the Government Review.

NSW Farmers President Fiona Simson said the Association has developed a Green Paper on the issue

and has a list of recommendations for changes to the laws.

“We want our members to tell us what they believe is wrong with the Native Vegetation laws and how the current regulations affect the management of their business,” Ms Simson said.

Association formulates its reform proposal to government.

The workshops are free and open to all members and non-members who pre-register by calling the NSW Farmers on 1300 794 000.

Cooma Show information day Ever wondered how exhibitors at our local shows get their cakes looking so delicious?

Have you enjoyed looking at jars of jam and condiments and wondered how our local cooks can make their entries look so appealing?

The Cooma P & A encourages all exhibitors to come along and hear what the experts have to say.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst

Daughter will be graduating from university in about six weeks and all I can think about is...has it really been three years since we bundled up her stuff and transported it and her to her new digs in Canberra?

Yep, it has and I’m a bit stunned at just how fast three years can go.

Daughter is also having a “gosh, that went fast” moment so it’s not just me.

But at least she’s not having another midlife crisis over it, but having had one on turning 20, I guess she’s thinking that, at 21, it might be a bit soon for another one.

So here we are counting up on fingers and things and we haven’t made a mistake; it has been three years and her graduation is just weeks away and it’s all really exciting, except for the bit about what I’m going to wear. I’m not plussed on this dilemma at the best of times and am already experiencing the beginnings of a minor breakdown over this one.

Okay, so I have time to sort this out but it’s constantly in the back of my mind so maybe the sooner I make a decision the better before I go nuts! I’m not even sure if it’s a daytime function or an evening

affair and at this point, neither is Daughter. I’m kind of guessing it’s probably going to be a dress-up Do though and I’m crossing my fingers there’ll be something in the bowels of the wardrobe that’ll be appropriate for the occasion. If there’s not though, it could mean I’ll have to go shopping for something.

Okay, so what’s wrong with that?

Well for starters I can’t remember the last time I did any serious clothes shopping and while I hate to admit it, if I had to do it now, I wouldn’t know where to start. I know. I am Woman and therefore should know a shopping spree inside out but these days I wouldn’t know one if I fell over it!

Meanwhile, Daughter is still going to graduate in a few short weeks and as her mother, wild horses could not keep me from being there to witness this crowning moment in her life so I had better find something in the back of the wardrobe that’s very suitable or else shop for same which just brings up that same old dilemma; what will I wear?

Maybe I’ve already got something stunningly lovely packed away somewhere that will be perfect for the occasion and I’ll come across it by chance just in time for the big day.

Fingers crossed.

Some of our traveling golfers participated in the Bermagui Ladies Open over the weekend. Although scores were somewhat disappointing on the Saturday, this event did provide a good opportunity to get the feel of the course. In Sunday’s stroke event Gaye Wilson was the Division 1 Handicap winner with an exciting 72 net. She was delighted with her effort!

See you on the course!

Hot scores as greens dry out Cooma Golf report by Garry Atkinson The week of golf just gone has seen some of the best scoring this year on both Saturday and Wednesday, handicaps adjust to the new handicapping system, Norm Marshall holing a wedge on the 10th for a great eagle and the greens growing quickly with Saturday night’s rain.

On Saturday September 24 the club saw a single stroke played with 36 players in contention for grade trophies. With the course drying out and extra run on the fairways A grade was taken out by Brian Turner with a fine 67 nett off a 7 handicap. Runner up was Mark Rainsford with 68 nett (1 over par).

Dave Robinson had a par round but only managed a ball (tough school this week). B grade was taken out by Chris Brown with a 68 nett from Malcolm Browne with a 69 nett.

C grade was won by John Harris with the round of the day 65 nett. John has obviously finished skiing for the year and is concentrating on his golf again. Runner up was James Fraser on a countback with 71 nett. Ball winners went to 71 nett. Longest drives were taken out by smooth swinging Terry Johnston – A grade. Campbell Childs in B grade and Tony Monday - C grade.

Nearest the pin on the ninth was won by Frank McKnight and Bill Dyball hit a lovely close shot on the 17th.

Sunday September 25 was a wet and cold day but this didn’t deter Heiki Evans from posting a great win with 38 points from Norm Marshall on 36 points. Ball winners went to 35 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth was won by Dave Paterson and on the 17th Brian Turner hit one nice and close.

Last Wednesday September 21, a single stableford saw Frank McKnight hit form with a fantastic 45 points to win from Peter Dawson with 44. In third place Geoffrey Glanville came home with 42 points and the last club voucher was won

by Steve Young with 40 points on a countback.

Ball winners went down to 37 points with Kerry Blencowe just scraping in. Nearest the pin on the ninth went to Dave Paterson. On the 17th Norm Marshall hit a beauty to take out the ball prize on the shortest hole on the course.

Next Wednesday sees an individual stableford programmed. Saturday sees the monthly medal to be played and Sunday sees an individual stableford medley (always a fun event).

As the club moves to a fully online booking system members are encouraged to book online at cooma.nsw.1golf.com.au. The match committee thank all members who are currently using the new booking system. Don’t forget to enjoy the tasty delights of Shay Wenz the golf clubhouse café. See you on the course.

Cooma Rifle Club Cooma Rifle Club shot from 300 yards last Saturday morning for the September heat of the Club Championships and Gregory Shield competitions. Six members attended, of whom five shot the course. The weather wasn’t too good, being very dull and overcast with periods of rain and a strange wind that varied from north to south. At times the wind flags were pointing in different directions and even good shots had trouble getting the wind settings correct.

There was however some good scores, Damien Doyle doing best with a second stage possible 50/50. Brian Bradley tried hard but it was so dull that the crosshairs on his scope were not visible, making good shooting impossible.

The off-rifle scores were: 1. Damien Doyle 44.4 and 50.4, total 94.8

2. Noel Barrett 47.6 and 45.3, total 92.9 3. Don Robb 42.0 and 47.4, total 89.4 4. Graeme Crundwell 40.0 and 40.1, total 80.1 5. Brian Bradley, who scored well under the circumstances.

With handicaps, Noel won narrowly from Damien and Don, with Graeme and Brian following.

Noel heard from Frank Toth, who is back in Cooma after a long period of treatment in Canberra for a serious illness. We wish him a speedy recovery from these problems.

Next weekend is a three day holiday, so we will be shooting from 400 yards on Monday afternoon, starting at 1:00pm, for the October heat of the NRA Medal competition.

Come and try squash day The Cooma Squash Club would like to invite you and other community members to a FREE Squash day on Saturday 8 October from 10am to 4pm at the Cooma Squash and Sports Club.

This gives you the opportunity to have a free game of social squash during the day with a family member, a friend or someone else in the community.

Invite someone you know along as well. A BBQ will be available for all active participants on the day.

Whether this is your first time or you have not played for a while, this is a great opportunity to enjoy a social sport while also helping your fitness.

“Squash is rated as the number one healthiest sport to play as it provides an excellent cardio-

vascular workout,” Club Publicity Officer, Dr. Andrew Egan, said.

The Cooma Squash Club is a not for profit organisation that manages the squash courts to promote squash for the benefit of the community.

We are always looking for new players to the club, be it for a social hit or be part of team competitions throughout the year.

Adaminaby turns out to support local golf

Sausage king Dean Pinners with Bill and Heather Faulkner.

On Saturday, September 17 more than 100 Adaminaby locals turned out to support the first golf day in Adaminaby for almost 10 years.

Sixty players registered for the fun “Hackers & Whackers” event, 15 children joined them on the course and another 30 residents came along to volunteer their help or to simply enjoy the festivities.

Fine weather greeted the community at 11am for a sausage feast and a cold drink or two before a shotgun start at Noon got the field away in a fourball Ambrose over nine holes.

The Snow Goose Hotel “Jolly Trolley” kept the competitors from dehydrating during the warm blustery conditions and the Adaminaby Bowling and Sports Club hosted post-game celebrations.

One of the event’s organisers, Bill Faulkner, said “we chose a date for the fun day that avoided the peak ski and fishing seasons so that as many locals could be involved as possible.

But the support on the day was still

quite remarkable considering the size of our community. Apart from regular Member competitions, we hope this fun day will become an annual event to help clear away the winter blues”.

Winners of the main event, the secret score, were Dave Harriott, Matt Harriott, Paul Fenwick and Cheryl Fenwick.

Scratch score winners on a countback, with a round of even par 35, were Matt Jacobs, Bob Piper, Tom Foley and Mick Connor. The long drives were taken out by Matt Harriott and Cheryl Fenwick with nearest-the-pin won by Rolf Svensen and Nicola MacDonald.

The junior star award was won by Robbie Miners. John Ruzic and Paul Fenwick won the “practise fairway challenge” by chipping into a 44 gallon drum some 40 metres away.

Players also faced a tough challenge on each tee with a question about towns and villages of the Snowy Mountains. All nine questions were correctly answered by the team led by Glen Squire.

Keen golfers at Adaminaby open day.

Monaro will also be participating in Canberra crickets Konica Cup, a T20 tournament played by many teams and associations from all over the ACT and NSW. Monaro will also be entering a team in the under 21 Jefferies cup and with many of the lads who played last year able to back up and play again this year we hold high hopes that the Monaro will be right in it up to their necks to bring a bit of silverware home to the Monaro.

A new inclusion in to the summer sporting scene on the Monaro will be super 8’s cricket.

A largely social family friendly game played with modifed rules and soft balls, each club will be hosting a super 8’s day, with many of the matches to be played on friday evenings.

Action at Cooma bowlo Social bowls on Saturday saw a small but enthusiastic mob turn up on a typical spring day on Monaro.

Not only did they have to contend with the weather but they had to survive the heckling from some of the participants who were attending Janelle’s third anniversary of her 20th birthday.

On the green Dennis Steinfort and Ken Boate won nine ends to 16 ends won

by Sergio Roncelli and Jack Sajina. This should be a fair indication of the final score to all who follow the game.

Next door was a game of contrasts with Ron Wainwright holding the upper hand Maureen D’amico in action at Cooma Bowling because he was a swinging lead and had a foot in each camp. The other four Club recently. combatants were Peter Marsicano and Paul Schulz up against Guilio D’Amico and Jim Fletcher. Peter and Paul raced to an good play by a sizzling Jack Sajina who at the eight shot advantage after eight ends then moment can do no wrong.

The draw for the men’s fours is now on Guilio and Jim won six ends to tie the score up. After 19 ends the score was again level at the notice board and players please note 13 then Peter and Paul won the last two ends this event will be played over the weekend of October 8 – 9. So please check the draw so to come away with a win.

Sunday’s games were played in conditions you don’t miss out. Remember play, get a sub much the same as Saturday. One game of or forfeit. The full draw for the first two rounds triples and two games of pairs were contested will appear in next Monaro Post.

I was asked by some players to record and in the triples the team of Richard Nichols, the results of the Men’s Minor Singles which Wayne Fogarty and Kim Weston overcame a slow start and a slow green to eventually was played a few weeks ago and somehow come out winners by two shots over John missed the press. Just for the record Wayne Fogarty and Colin (Red) Roberson defeated Vincent, Cobber Seears and Mark Buckley.

John Mooney became the swinging Cobber Seears and Geoff Venables by one lead in a game between Mario Frezza and shot after an extra end was required. This Peter Marsicano up against Jim Fletcher must have been a cracker of a game and and Nelson Wallace. This was a tight game congratulations to all players.

There are a couple of Travelling Bowling throughout and John, Jim and Nelson played too consistently and ran out winners by a few Groups coming to Cooma in the next few weeks so please check the notice board as shots.

In the last match up on Sunday Daphne players will be required for these days.

Remember social bowls on Wednesday’ Buckley and Paul Cannell were no match for Jack Sajina and Geoff Venables and finished Saturday and Sunday of each week with considerably down on the score-card. It names in by 12 noon for 1pm start. wasn’t that they played bad bowls it was just
