With mayoral elections completed in the three local government areas on Monaro, all three incumbents have been re-elected, with only one change to deputy mayors. In Cooma, Dean Lynch was re-elected mayor on September 13, with Martin Hughes elected deputy. Both men are serving their first term on Cooma-Monaro Council. Cr Lynch was elected mayor at a special meeting in May, after the death of

mayor, Cr Vin Good, who held the position for the previous two years. In Bombala, Bob Stewart was re-elected mayor for the time. Brad Yelds was elected deputy mayor. In Snowy River Shire, John Cahill was re-elected mayor, defeating John Shumack by one vote. Peter Beer was reelected deputy mayor. The Monaro Post asked the mayors how they saw the next 12 months for their councils. The year ahead: Cooma-Monaro Shire Cooma-Monaro mayor Dean Lynch said he wants to be leading a progressive council and sees several opportunities for progress in the next 12 months. He is continuing to progress an opportunity for Cooma to secure a campus of Canberra University, which he believes could be a massive boon for the shire. He said he is also looking at getting an

early rollout of highspeed broad band to Cooma and has been speaking with Snowy Hydro Limited to develop a business case for Cooma to be given priority. For this to happen, there would need to be a significant uptake by businesses and residences in the town. Cr Lynch also identified completing Lake Wallace at Nimmitabel as very important in improving facilities and stimulating economic development. Tourism is another area which he said his council would need to be looking at closely in the short term. Cr Lynch said he had been busy recently assisting a couple of new businesses with their plans to start up in Cooma. He said another potential business could be the establishment of a data base in Cooma, which is well positioned between Melbourne and Sydney for businesses to access.

Cr John Cahill and deputy mayor Cr Peter Beer.

Bombala Shire Mayor Bob Stewart said “One of the main things we need to do is to make sure we keep the (timber) mill project on track, hopefully TASCO will do the development. “The DA has been approved, but it’s up to the receivers. I believe Tasco is keen to negotiate and do it themselves. Negotiations are now on with the receivers “One bit of good news is the final first seal of Snowy River Way on Friday. This will mean it will be sealed all the way through. This is a good asset not only us us but also the mountains.

“In 12 months time the final seal will be down. We might put a new bridge in as well, to replace the timber Cambalong Bridge. We have money to do that, but we would alsow be aksing the RTA. Other than that, it’s just business as usual. “I think contracts are now out for the $1.4m trade centre at the high school. But, we just keep going with roads and rubbish, the normal council work. “It will be interesting to see what happens with the plantations, but hopefully Tasco will stay and develop the industry”. cont’d page 16

Waiting for Luck A lot of people in today's society believe in luck. They believe that some actions and superstitions reportedly bring good luck, like finding a 4-leaf clover. People also believe that other actions, like opening an umbrella indoors, can bring bad luck too. Even though we might not follow lucky superstitions of other cultures, many of us still wear our 'lucky' scarf to the footy and still buy our lotto tickets from the same 'lucky' newsagent each week. This might just be harmless fun, but in truth most good luck comes from being prepared.

Right: Blood on the rear door, which had been forced open by thieves.

Franks Butchery was the victim of thieves who broke into the shop sometime between midnight and five am on Thursday. They kicked the back door in and took the float from the cash register. Next they tried to steal some memorabilia off a wall, breaking the glass in the process and cutting themselves. They left a trail of blood through the shop, on the fridge door, back door and to where it appears they had a vehicle parked. Leading Edge Electronics was also a victim, this time the two males shoplifted items valued between $400 and $500. Another local business appears to have been their next target but the shop owner became suspicious of the pair and noticed blood on one of them. After they left his store empty handed he called police who quickly arrested the pair. They appeared in Cooma Local Court on Friday and were refused bail and taken to Goulburn to await a further court hearing.

Cooma’s Jane Reid was very excited to walk across the stage and receive her Graduate Diploma in Community Counselling last Thursday. The 54-year-old says she is passionate about people and wanted to make a positive contribution to the community. She’s been living in Cooma with her husband Adrian Menhennitt for seven years. She says while it was difficult travelling back and forth for class, it was well worth it. “It’s a huge commitment to make as you have to put that little bit extra in with all the travel, but it was a great experience and I really enjoyed it,” she said. Ms Reid says she was looking forward to celebrating with her husband over dinner in Cooma. The University of Canberra hosted its mid-year graduations the Great Hall at Parliament House on September 15 and 16. Graduates from rural and regional areas were among those collecting their degrees at four ceremonies. Professor Stephen Parker, ViceChancellor of the University of Canberra, and Chancellor, Professor Ingrid Moses, congratulated these students on their academic success. “The University of Canberra is growing and we are pleased to be attracting more students from regional areas. These students make a diverse and valued contribution to social and academic life on campus,” Professor Parker said. “While some regional students decide to stay

in the capital to begin their careers, many also return to their communities to make a professional contribution to their home towns.” The University has a Regional Bonus Points Scheme to assist students from rural and regional New South Wales to pursue a tertiary education. Under the Scheme, students receive an additional five bonus points on their ATAR when they apply to study at the University of Canberra. The University introduced a new Winter Term this year, giving students greater flexibility and control over their studies. The addition of a third term allows students to fast track their degree, or students can choose to lessen their study load by spreading their study across three teaching periods in a year. Students who completed their degree as a result of studying in the Winter Term were among those to graduate. University of Canberra graduates are among Australia’s most employable, with University consistently awarded the maximum five stars for ‘getting a job’ by the Good Universities Guide. Regional students graduated ready for careers in areas including education, communication, management, science, nursing and law. Approximately 12,000 students attend the University of Canberra. As well as students from rural and regional Australia, international students from 90 other counties are currently enrolled.

To keep up-to-date with technology • It’s important that Australia keeps pace with worldwide changes in technology • Overseas programs are increasingly being produced in the digital format only • Australian TV shows need to be produced in the digital format to be easily exported overseas

To free up broadcast space • In Australia, TV is currently broadcast in both digital and analog signals • This is costly and inefﬁcient • Turning off the analog signals will free up space that could be used for other services for the community

To improve your viewing experience • Picture and sound quality on digital TV is better • Pictures on digital TV can be seen in widescreen • You’ll still have the same free-to-air channels, plus some new ones, so you’ll have more choice

Riposte Lisa Ashurst You know, I’d forgotten all about finding names and general pearls of juvenile wisdom scribbled/ engraved/etc onto various objects by doodling kids until I pulled the homemade caramel (really old recipe, best caramel ever!) out of the fridge to be confronted with “The Keith” cut into its glossy surface. Fine, he really loves the stuff but it took me back to the time I’d opened the new tub of margarine to find the protective paper covering already removed and “Alix loves -----“ (name deleted for privacy reasons) neatly engraved across the creamy yellow contents. I mean, of all the places to declare her undying love! Anyway, as time went on, more and more stuff began showing up all over the place. I would discover various declarations, some flattering some not, appearing like magic as the steam hit the glass walls of the shower recess and I started to wonder why they didn’t just restrict their graffiti to their school bags, limbs, folders and pencil cases like every other kid did? “Like, I’m going to find some space!” Daughter declared at the time “Hello! I’ve had this pencil case for months now!” Well silly me! Why didn’t I realise that?

I have to admit the Twins weren’t quite as desperate for scribble space but they still managed to scrawl some blatant observations in some strange places, like “We hate Alix” in the road dust on the rear window of my car and I didn’t notice it until it was almost dangerously too late. Like just before the three of them turned up on the little school bus that ground its way up the dirt road that wound out of the Valley where we used to live. Or that other little gem “Sam is so inscusting!” on one of Twin II’s Year 1 class drawings. Fortunately the Sam in question had yet to get his head around reading and writing but all the same the teacher thought Twin II might prefer to “take that one home to Mummy” as opposed to putting it up on the classroom wall. In Twin II’s defence, Sam was disgusting but it was a nice drawing of a cat though. But anyway, I guess it was just something they did and here I was thinking they’d all outgrown it and then I pulled the caramel from the fridge. “So let me guess” I ventured “you’re claiming it for your very own or something?” “No” he replied “but it looked so nice and smooth and shiny that I just had to do something with it!” Oh.

AFL fans are confused this week. While they are happy they have an extra week of footy, there is that letdown after Saturday’s game – no result. But it was a good match, especially the second half as The Saints clawed their way back into the

game. And, as any oldtime supporter knows – there is only one thing better than beating Collingwood – and that’s beating them by one point! Maybe this Saturday???? (For the Collywobblers in the

community, The Postman really doesn’t care WHO wins, as long as it’s a good game). And to the NRL, maybe The Saints can make it a quinella? Good luck to all teams. The smell of barbecues will once again permeate our town this weekend.

$5000 in cancer reference books for library The Monaro Committee for Cancer Research (MCCR) is assisting the Monaro Regional Library with providing reference material for cancer sufferers and their carers. The committee decided at its June meeting that it would donate $5000 to the library to purchase suitable material, or provide access to suitable online material. The project was announced at the temporary library last Tuesday. McGrath Foundation nurse and committee member, Bronnie Taylor, proposed the project at the June meeting of MCCR and since than has been developing a list of suitable books and reference material to purchase. She said the reference material would be a great help to people with cancer, especially those

recently diagnosed. She said it would allow them to learn something about their illness and its treatment. The books will also assist carers to understand what is happening with the person they are caring for. The books will be available from the refurbished Cooma library when it reopens in January or February next year. Library manager Lyn Goucher said the books would be housed in an area of the library where borrowers can self-select, although staff will be able to assist if needed. Mrs Goucher said the library would ensure confidentiality by allowing borrowers to find the books in this way.

It’s magpie season… again!! The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is reminding the community to give plenty of space to swooping magpies during the birds’ breeding season from now until November. NPWS Southern ranges Regional Manager, Dave

Council wins second Excellence Award

Darlington, said it’s important to remember the magpie is just doing what comes naturally. “For most of the year magpies and humans happily coexist, but during breeding season be prepared as nesting magpies will often defend their territory vigorously. “People walking past may be seen as a threat to their young, prompting the magpies to fly low and fast over the person clacking their bills as they pass overhead. “Most of us have been swooped by a magpie and the experience can be quite alarming, especially when they catch you by surprise. “It is usually only a warning, but there have been cases where people have received injuries as a result of dive-bombing magpies,” Mr Darlington said. Measures that people can take, and should teach children include: • Do not provoke the birds • If swooped stay calm and move out of its territory • Wear a hat or hold an umbrella or stick above your head to deter attacks • Avoid and hurry past nesting sites • Dismount if on a bike to avoid falling off, and move away quickly • Warn others about magpie territories “if you can keep your eyes on the magpie while you pass through their territory this reduces the chance of them swooping. “Magpies are protected throughout NSW and it is against the law to kill the birds, collect their eggs or harm their young. Both parents feed the young, so removing or harming either adult bird could kill the chicks. “If you feel a magpie is a serious menace, it should be reported to the police or the nearest office of the NPWS.

Snowy River Shire Council (SRSC) has received a second award for its efforts in developing the Jindabyne Action Plan. At the Local Government Managers Australia NSW Management Excellence Awards Dinner on September 17, SRSC received an award for “Excellence in Engaging and Serving Communities” for the Jindabyne Action Plan process. The aim of the LGMA Excellence Awards are to: • Raise the standard and quality of the local government professions; • Create public awareness of the level of expertise and excellence in the local government profession; and • Recognise excellence and best practice in the local government profession. Snowy River’s Jindabyne Action Plan stood out amongst a broad range of NSW Councils, including some of the largest metropolitan councils in and around Sydney. The Jindabyne Action Plan process was recognised primarily for excellence because of the large extent to which it improved the level of inclusion and accessibility to a planning process. In the awards ceremony program the following was published about the plan and process: “The story of Jindabyne has always been about the interaction of people with their mountain environment. Over the past two years Council has worked collaboratively with the community to develop the Jindabyne Action Plan. The

passion for the place and its people is evidenced by the participation in the planning process of approximately 22 percent of the Jindabyne population, including business owners, youth, children, community groups and organisations. In social research terms this is a very high level of participation and amounts to over 600 people across the various forms of engagement incorporating over 28,000 ideas, comments and responses to various planning initiatives. The plan and process undertaken respects the unique setting of the town and the remarkable people who have shaped and continue to shape it. “ The Plan has impacted on the council as an organisation. Through this process the importance of working in partnership with the community and other government agencies has been demonstrated. The open communication and investment in the process has resulted in the community being more confident in the organisation thereby enhancing council’s reputation as a leader. This process is also an excellent precursor to the development of the whole-of-shire Community Strategic Plan. Consultation processes for the CSP, part of the new Department of Local Government Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework, will commence in October. Council will strive to deliver engagement processes through the CSP that match the standard set through the Jindabyne Action Plan.

Snowy River Shire Snowy River Shire mayor Cr Cahill said his council faced some interesting challenges in the next 12 months – “there is a lot to achieve’. “The first priority will be ensuring the promise of a Super GP Clinic for Jindabyne comes to fruitition. “The three local mayors need to meet to develop a regional approach to the early rollout of the National Broadband Network. “Snowy River needs to do more for aged accommodation in the shire, for example, through the development of aged village accommodation at Jindabyne and more beds at Snowy River Hostel. “We also need to address the extra responsibilties which have been forced on us by the State Government and will be undertaking group style

consultation across the shire, even in Cooma, to attract our residents who live on the eastern edge, closest to Cooma. “Other than that, the focus wil be on remaining financially stable and lobbying effectively leading up to the March State election. “We need to remove some of the onerous responsibilities placed on us by State and that includes a review of the present rating system. Cr Cahill said he would like to see a move from rates based on the Unimproved Capital Value of the Land to its commercial value – he said this would be fairer for the rural ratepayers who now pay the bulk of rates of local government. “The rating system needs to reflect the modern economy” he said. He said rural people were being hurt by the present rating system.

Mick and I used a combination of Pale, Munich, Chocolate especially for the skiers enjoying and Crystal malts to create a rich dark malt driven beer with an invigorating 7.5 % alcohol level. Super Alpha hops from NZ provided the background ound bitterness, and late hop additions of East Kent Goldings and a new USA variety Citra produced refreshing floral oral and fruity notes. The Bock is so refreshing that consumers are warned not to drink it in excess, but to savour andd really enjoy the rich character. It is available only on tap in middies from the main bar area. Only 4000 litres have been brewed.

Surgery expansion officially opened Member for Eden-Monaro, Mike Kelly on Friday opened extensions to the Bombala Street Medical Centre funded by the Federal Government through the National Rural and Remote Health Infrastructure Partnership (NRRHIP). The Bombala Street Medical Centre project was funded in April 2009 and was completed in June 2010. The expanded building now has six consulting rooms, waiting area, toilet and dedicated teaching room. “This project is a great addition to medical services in the Cooma area and will enable the Bombala Street Medical Centre to provide a greater range of services to the community.” “The Federal Government is committed to delivering better Primary Care in regional communities and we have making great progress in improving access in our region,” Dr Kelly said. First use of the new rooms began on June 1, with other health professionals relocating to the new rooms soon after. The practice has been able to attract a GP out of semiretirement to assist with education for junior doctors and a former ANU medical student back to Cooma as a GP vocational registrar. The new facility has also attracted a diagnostic

ultrasonographer to provide services three days a week. A shared antenatal program with a midwife working within the surgery has been instituted. Physiotherapy and podiatry services are also available from the expanded facility. As part of the 2008-09 Budget, the Australian Government established the NRRHIP which will direct $46 million over four years for the provision of essential health infrastructure (capital works and equipment) in rural and remote communities and strategic planning for small rural private hospitals. “We have been successful in winning funding for 10 projects Eden Monaro, totalling $3,015,804.I would encourage other local Medical Centre’s to apply for funding under this program,” Dr Kelly said. A fifth funding round under the NRRHIP was advertised on 10 July 2010 and will close on September 30. Expanded services Speaking at the opening on Friday night, Dr Andrew Egan said “Cooma Medical has spent around $850,000 to expand its facility and increase its capacity to recruit future GPs, retain existing GPs, train medical students and medical registrars and improve primary health

care delivery to the Cooma community. “The project drew funding of $550000 from NRRHIP (National Rural & Remote Health Infrastructure Programme. “We were fortunate to receive full grant funding and are gratefull to Les Sutcliffe for his help with our submission and Jo Risk from Southern GP Network. We recieved a strong level of support from Greater Southern Area Health Service, Cooma Monaro Shire Council and the ANU Medical School “Support fom local federal MP Mike Kelly was integral to the success of the application and we beleive Cooma has benefitted greatly from Dr Kelly’s tireless efforts for the local community. Architect David Epstein designed the extension which adds six consulting rooms, library/conference/education room, toilet and associated waiting areas to the current building. Construction by Paul Dyball commenced November 2009 and was completed on time and on budget using all local contractors “The building is a modern, lightweight, energy efficient, elevated shell providing minimal interference to traffic beneath and engineering and project supervision was

provided by Vaughan Lehmann. “We are happy to welcome Renee Dubois and Maree Nicholls from Cooma Physiotherapy, Nina Tillett from Snowy Mountains Ultrasound and Nerida Manning Podiatry to the facility “Dr Vic Carroll has returned to assist with teaching and doctor releif and we are currently training two medical students and two GPs within the practice. “Over time we believe the increase in space and capacity will provide: · Improved patient access · An increase in medical student, Prevocational General Practice Placement (PGPP) Registrars and GP Vocational Training Registrars placements · Facilities that meet RACGP recommendations for training facilities · A improved ability to recruit and retain GPs leading to a long-term increase in Rural GP numbers · Additional facilities for visiting medical specialists and co-location of allied health professionals · Room for comprehensive primary health care programs.”

Great to see a modern building combine with an old one The recently completed extensions to the Bombala Street Surgery will see a new era of services available to the Cooma region. The extension has added another seven rooms to the original building, which flows along an eightmetre ramp at the same height as the back of the original building. There is now more car parking space underneath the new section of building too. Local builder Paul Dyball was the building company in charge of the work and he said he used all local workers wherever possible, from electricians to plumbers, carpenters and brickies. “We started work in November 2009, with all the plans and engineering already done and approved. It took us about six months to complete the job and all trades have worked well together”, he said. The building is very energy efficient with a new product called ‘kingspan’ being used. It is like a freezer panel, made from colourbond and insulated, this was used on the roof and external walls. There are double glazed windows, soundscreen insulation on all internal gyprock walls and eight skylights set in a cathedral ceiling in the waiting room. Under the floor is also well insulated with soundscreen and a 20mm insulation mini rib beneath the carpet. The steel structure used in the trusses supported the spans on four columns allowing each wall to be trussed independently. “It was an interesting job, especially for Cooma. It was good to see a new modern building combine with an older one to make a complete transformation and to have sourced all building work locally. “It was a pleasure to work with Andrew, Hamish and all the staff at the surgery, they were very easy to work for and professional at all times”, Mr Dyball said.

The new building, originally designed by local achitect David Epstein, had to allow easy access for all patients and therefore, was builtup to be on the same level as the existing building. This has allowed parking underneath. The interior is light and airy and connected to the old building by a walkway.

Bushfire Detection Technology report released The long awaited report on the initial trials of bushfire detection technology funded by the Federal Government from February to May this year in Victoria and NSW was released last week by FireWatch Australia. The FireWatch system automatically detected 347 fire events with approximately 10 percent of these being at night. Fires were detected at ranges from 1.6 to 65.5 kms from the towers where the sophisticated sensors which were developed for the NASA Mars Pathfinder Mission were located. The CSIRO and the Bushfire CRC conducted a subset of detailed tests of the technology in Tumut in NSW. The results show that the FireWatch system detected 98 percent of all fires in areas where the sensors had coverage. Operator errors meant that not all fires were reported however the efficacy of the technology has now been established. Managing Director of FireWatch Australia, Mr. David Goodrich said: “We were very pleased with the initial trial results which has again confirmed the experience of

the German government forest agency who have stated that over the past nine years the amount of forest burned each year has been reduce by over 90 percent since the creation of the German National FireWatch Network”. “We are concerned that that comparisons made with the performance of traditional human fire spotters in remote towers whilst inaccurate will distract decision makers from the imperative of investing in now proven 21st century technology combined with skilled and trained operators to deliver accurate, immediate information to fire fighting agencies. International experience has proven time and again that this combination saves lives and property. We don’t fight wars with bows and arrows, nor should we detect bushfires with binoculars”. “Arson is a critical issue around the world. FireWatch delivers 24 x 7 intelligence to Police to assist in the apprehension of suspects and gathers the critical evidence to achieve successful convictions”. The comprehensive report released today proposes the next step towards an

Australian National Firewatch Early Bushfire Detection Network by establishing an extended trial area comprising the highest risk areas in each State and Territory in the coming fire season. Leading consulting firm Sinclair Knight Mertz (SKM) has undertaken analysis of the highest risk areas and proposed a series of locations. “The bottom line is that nobody knows where the next catastrophic bushfire will be in Australia – in the last fire season Victoria had the wettest summer in a decade. The extended trial proposal is a sensible next step towards creating a 21st century solution to an intractable problem. “It will bring peace of mind to all Australians living near the bush. Now is the time for Governments to prepare for the coming fire season”.

Liquid trade waste policy on exhibition Come fly with them Snowy River Shire Council has placed the draft Liquid Trade Waste Policy on public exhibition. Sewerage systems are generally designed to cater for waste from domestic sources that are essentially of predictable strength and quality. Liquid trade waste may exert extra demands on sewerage systems and, if uncontrolled, can pose serious problems to public health, worker safety, Council’s sewerage system and the environment. A person wishing to discharge liquid trade waste to the sewerage system must, under section 68 of the Local Government Act 1993, obtain prior approval from Council. Discharging liquid trade waste without an approval is an offence under section 626 of the Act. Liquid trade waste is defined as “Liquid trade or factory wastes or chemical or other impurities from any business, trade or manufacturing premises other than domestic sewage from a hand wash basin, shower, bath or toilet. It also excludes storm water and unpolluted water.” Liquid trade waste discharges to the sewerage system include liquid wastes discharged from: business/ commercial premises (e.g. beautician, florist, hairdresser, hotel, motel, restaurant, butcher, services station, supermarket, dentist); community/public premises (including craft club, school, college, university, hospital and nursing home); industrial premises;

trade activities (e.g. mobile carpet cleaner); and any commercial activities carried out at a residential premises. Liquid trade waste excludes: toilet, hand wash basin, shower and bath wastes derived from all the premises and activities mentioned above; wastewater from residential toilets, kitchens, bathrooms or laundries (i.e. domestic sewage); and residential swimming, pool backwash. Council may accept trade waste into its sewerage system as a service to businesses and industry. The Draft Policy, including background material, is available for inspection at the Council Offices in Berridale and Jindabyne during office hours from Tuesday September 28 till Tuesday October 26 inclusive. People wishing to make a submission regarding the draft policy may do so by writing to the General Manager, Snowy River Shire Council, 2 Myack Street, Berridale 2628, before close of business on November 12. On implementation of the policy, Council proposes to conduct inspections on a regular basis to monitor compliance. For further information regarding Liquid Trade Waste please contact Council’s Trade Waste Officer, Michael Broder, on 02 6451 1195.

Consistent rainfall over Kosciuszko National Park this year has resulted in closure of the Geehi Dam road, which is now showing signs of instability. NPWS Southern Ranges Regional Manager, Dave Darlington, said that cracks have appeared in sections of the road and it was being closed as a safety precaution. “As everyone knows it’s been a wet season, certainly the wettest we’ve had up here for nearly a decade. “The result is that some roads and trails in the park have had to remain closed until they dry out. “However, we’ve had a closer look at the Geehi Dam Road and received further expert advice and on the basis of these investigations we’ve decided to keep the road closed until further

notice. “We are closing the entire 28km road from the Alpine Way to the Dam. This means access to Olsens Lookout is no longer available to the public. “The road was built many years ago during the construction of the Snowy Hydro Electric Scheme. “It’s not a well used road by the public although we are aware that some people do go to Geehi Dam to fish. We apologise for this inconvenience. “The road will continue to be used for management purposes however. “We will now investigate what needs to be done to rectify the damage so that the road can be reopened at some stage to the public,” Mr Darlington said.

Australia’s Top 100 Builders Recover, But For How Long? Perth-based BGC (Australia) is Australia’s largest builder according to the HIACOLORBOND steel Housing 100 Report for 2009/10. The report, which ranks the nation’s largest 100 residential builders based on the number of homes built each year, revealed the number of housing starts among the largest 100 increased by 22.8 per cent from 49,360 (in 2008/09) to 60,590 in (2009/10). This was the highest number of yearly starts since 2004/05. BGC (Australia) came in as Australia’s biggest builder with 4,392 starts – an increase of 548 on the previous year. In 2009/10 the company built 3,836 detached houses and 556 units, and was also the nation’s largest detached house builder. Alcock/Brown-Neaves Group was ranked second with 3,526 starts, while Victorian-based Metricon Homes was

ranked third with 3,214 housing starts for the year. Hickory Developments Pty Ltd was the nation’s largest multi-unit builder with 1,274 starts, moving up from second spot in 2008/09. The HOUSING 100 builders held an estimated 38 per cent share of Australiawide housing starts last financial year, the same share as in 2008/09. The share increased in Victoria and was steady in Queensland and Western Australia. New South Wales and South Australia saw their market share reduce. “The tripling of the federal First Home Owner’s Grant for new homes, low interest rates and social housing programs saw a relatively strong recovery in housing starts in 2009/10,” said HIA chief economist Dr Harley Dale. “However, as the positive impact from past stimulus programs unwinds it’s

unlikely that we will see further growth in reduction program for new housing HOUSING 100 and aggregate housing needs to be a key priority of the Federal starts in 2010/11,” Harley Dale said. Government,” Harley Dale added. “While there were 11,230 more homes built by the largest 100 than the previous year, the number of multi-units being built actually fell,” Dr Dale said. “In 2009/10 there were 51,602 detached house starts (up from 39,947) and 8,988 starts for flats, units and townhouses (down from 9,413).” “The restriction of finance for Currently Tenanted residential development presents This 2 bedroom home is in an elevated a big constraint, while the stimulus position overlooking Bombala, having northerly aspect.

Major Merino ram sale at Severn Park Hoof and hook in 2011 In a move to provide Merino breeders with the rams that can lift fertility and meat value while enhancing fleece quality, about 100 top Merino and Poll Merino rams from nine studs will be offered for sale at Charlie and Fiona Massy’s property, Severn Park, Bobundara, on Wednesday October 20. The rams have been bred on studs from the Dubbo and Wagga Wagga regions. Most of the top Severn Park sires were purchased by these studs at the Severn Park stud dispersal two years ago. An Open Day will be held on Thursday, 7 October for sheep breeders to inspect the sale rams and to meet the studbreeders. The studs are industry leaders for measured breeding performance of key traits for current and future sheep markets. Breeding values will be catalogued on each ram for yearling body weight, eye muscle depth and fat cover.

The rams are a type that allow Merino breeders to change their sheep into a plain-bodied, productive and highly fertile animals that do not need to be mulesed. Typically, the ewes lamb at about 130 percent and produce 7 to 8 kilograms of 18 to 20 micron wool. High lamb survival is a key feature of these flocks. In many ways this special ram sale provides a seamless transition for people who have based their flocks on Severn Park genetics to continue sourcing similar rams. The studs involved are: Aloeburn Polls, Bellalana, Boxleigh Park, Glenwood, Gullengamble, Kerin Poll, Mumblebone, Parkdale, Richmond and Sherwood. The ram auction will be conducted by Elders Limited. For further information, contact: Jim Watts tel: 02 4863 2050 mobile: 0409 364 864 email: srs@hinet.net.au

Kondinin Group: Survey reveals farmers poor helmet habits Only one-in-five Kondinin members surveyed in the 2009 National Agricultural Survey (NAS) stated they always wore a helmet while riding the farm motorbike, while almost half admitted to never wearing a helmet. The finding reiterates farmers’ status, as an industry sector, as the poorest users of safety equipment. In his latest report for Kondinin Group, farm safety expert Peter Hickey said the survey results reported a clear message. “Farming families and small landholders need to lift their game when it comes to helmet usage,” Mr Hickey said. The report also presents an essential buyers guide to selecting a new helmet and how varying features can improve comfort and safety needs for farm use. “Making the right motorbike helmet choice can deliver not just safer riding, but added comfort,” Mr Hickey said. “A high quality, lightweight, motocross-style helmet, with adequate ventilation and a large peak is ideal for agricultural use.” “It is essential to buy a helmet with an AS1698

Australian Standards sticker which means it has passed testing for penetration of the shell, strength of the strap around the jaw, impact absorption, and sufficient peripheral vision.” “Results from Kondinin Group’s 2009 NAS revealed the usual excuses for not using a helmet, including too heavy; too hot; uncomfortable; can’t hear; can’t direct dogs; smelly – just to list a few” Mr Hickey said. “Buy your helmet during winter. It will keep your ears and head warm and by summer, wearing it while riding is likely to have become a habit.” The complete report is featured in the August edition of Farming Ahead and online at www. farmingahead.com.au The report is available free to Kondinin Group members.

Cooma Pastoral and Agricultural Association will hold hoof and hook competitions at the March 12, 2011 show. P & A president, Gail Eastaway, said the season looked like being good enough for there to be entries in both sheep and cattle this year. She said she hoped the commercial cattle pens at the show would be full after a couple of years when no stock was available due to the drought. “The hoof and hook section almost happened in 2010, but, alas, the season meant it had to be cancelled. “However, the last committee

meeting seemed pretty confident that there would be stock around in March for the competition to be held”. ‘To that end, I am asking local growers to keep the competition in mind - they could be preparing now for March. ‘The P & A will be looking for substantial sponsorship for this event, so not only will the prizewinners win the kudos of having the best stock, they will also be rewarded for it” If anyone has an questions about the hoof and hook competition, they can contact the president on 0408 930 180.

Big day at Bredbo for K2C Biodiversity and Farming Fair

NAB Agribusiness Awards

If you bring a weed to next month’s “Kosciuszko 2 Coast Partnership” Biodiversity and Farming Fair then Bredbo Landcare will swap it for a native plant. This is just one of the many little treats on offer for landholders in the region who attend this important event. The fair is being organised by the K2C Partnership which brings together experienced land management organisations to restore and extend important vegetation communities between the Kosciuszko National Park and the coastal escarpment. The fair has been assisted by the Australian Government’s Caring for our Country initiative. K2C Facilitator, Lauren Van Dyke, said the program is packed with speakers and activities that are sure to be of great interest to many people in the region with an interest in managing productive properties while maintaining important biodiversity. “There is such a diverse array of people who will be attending both as speakers and participants. Speakers’ subjects include rivers, birds, connectivity, grasses, reptiles, frogs, sheep nutrition, weeds and more. This is the second major event we’ve organised since 2008. The last one was so successful we were inspired to repeat the event. “We will hear from very experienced land managers such as Sam Archer, livestock producer and biodiversity farmer as well as Rob Dunn the CEO of the Great Eastern Ranges Initiative which is attempting to establish a 2,800 km long conservation corridor in the ranges that run along the east coast of Australia. “David Freudenberger, Chief Scientist from Greening Australia will give a guts and all presentation on sheep nutrition and pasture diversity while handling real sheep organs to explain his

Dairy, grain, eggs, sugar, wine and strawberries are just some of the industries represented by the finalists in the 2010 NAB Agribusiness Awards for Excellence. The enormous diversity of Australian agriculture is represented this year, with finalists ranging from some of Australia’s largest agribusiness and technology companies to boutique growers. The 10 awards up for grabs this year recognise the excellence, innovation and leadership of companies and individuals working in the agribusiness, food, fibre and beverage sectors. NAB’s General Manager of Agribusiness, Khan Horne, said NAB Agribusiness was proud to be associated with the prestigious awards for the fifth year. “The NAB Agribusiness Awards for Excellence are a great way of recognising progress and achievements made in the industry,” Mr Horne said. “They applaud high profile individuals and businesses as well those who don’t often get the limelight, but make equally important contributions to the national economy. “This year’s finalists feature exciting developments in new products, efficient farming methods and environmental sustainability,” he said. The awards are run by Monash University, Australia’s largest university, in association with NAB Agribusiness, with the aim of highlighting the constant innovation and success throughout the agribusiness sector. The winners will be announced at a gala dinner held in Melbourne on Thursday October 28 at The Crown Casino. To purchase tickets to this event please go to www.agribis.net.

story – not for the faint hearted! “There will be lots of stalls from agencies and organisations with an interest or focus on the environment and land management. “People will also have the chance to briefly visit the nearby “Scottsdale” property which is owned and managed by Bush Heritage Australia. There will be live music and plenty of great food and the kids won’t be bored as there will be seed balls to roll and puppies to pat and what is more the gold coin entry goes to a worthwhile cause – the Beyond Blue national depression Initiative ” Ms Van Dyke said. The K2C Biodiversity and Farming Fair will be held at the Bredbo Centennial Park on Sunday October 10 between 9am and 4pm. See attached advertisement and program of events.

YWCA Encore in Cooma

RFS hold open days

The YWCA Encore program is an innovative and inspiring approach to recovery from breast cancer surgery. It is a gentle exercise program which meets the exercise and support needs of women after the trauma of their treatment in a nurturing and supportive environment. A YWCA Encore Program is being held in Cooma commencing 18 October, and will run for eight weeks until December 6 each Monday from 11:30am to 1:30pm. The YWCA Encore program is for women of any age, who have had breast cancer surgery at any time in their lives; a specifically designed exercise program to improve movement, flexibility and strength after breast cancer surgery â&#x20AC;&#x201C; relieving discomfort associated with surgery and treatment. It helps to reduce the potential risk of lymphoedema and can assist in the management of lymphoedema.

Nick Salzke and Tom Brown greeted visitors to the Cooma RFS on Saturday.

YWCA Encore is a service that compliments the mainstream treatment of breast cancer. The eight-week program (two hours per week) incorporates gentle floor and hydrotherapy exercises. The sessions also provide a time and a space for relaxation, information sharing and discussion amongst women who have been through similar experiences. The benefits of the YWCA Encore program are widely recognised throughout the medical community; an increasing body of worldwide research is showing that physical activity is of both biological and psychological benefit for breast cancer survivors. Studies have shown that exercise programs for most cancer survivors in general can reduce anxiety and depression, improve mood, boost self esteem, and reduce symptoms of fatigue.

Some delays in pool refurbishment for better outcome The changes are now evident in the construction work going on at the Cooma Festival Swimming Pool. However, the pool is still some time away from reopening, due to a few delays and Cooma-Monaro Shire Council has allocated and aditional $132,000 to the project to cover extra work which has become necessary as the redevelopment has progressed. The extra work became necessary to remove old infrastructure that will detract from the significant improvements underway. Council is treating this investment as a long term significant achievement for the community. It would be difficult to delay these improvements to future dates. The scheduled reopening date for the pool is now November 22. Work on the site has steadily been progressing since May and as you go past the site you can notice new walls, awnings and the demolition of the original buildings. John Nassar from Full on Constructions said “progress has been good, not too bad at all but like anything in the building game you have got your issues, especially when it’s a community based project like this one.” He also said the weather; especially during winter because of temperature constraints can cause delays. Though it hasn’t been too bad. If being delayed by a

few days is the difference between getting it right the first time and not rushing the job and getting the final product you really want then so be it. As with all community based projects a lot of things change through the construction process. Things get added in late, causing minor delays but at this stage nothing too major has occurred, just your standard delays. It’s estimated that the building work will be completed in about mid October, but realistically it’s too early to call at the moment. The project consists predominantly of a lot bulky work and groundwork, which is being completed pretty much on time. There has been some infrastructure work Council has come back to us with and said maybe we should put this or that in and he said your crazy if you don’t do it while it’s all at this stage. “The building is here to last a long time, so if means we have to take extra time to complete the project and get it right we will. Council has been very reasonable about it all and it’s going along nicely.”

Work continues on preparing the new Club Rooms in Cooma North for a charity function on 16 October. Volunteers ranging in age from 3 to 86 and O P the dog, are there almost every Saturday and Sunday and Tuesday mornings hammering, sawing, cleaning, digging, cooking, yarning, decorating and generally getting things ship shape, ready for the big night. Members and friends went on a run to Bungendore on Sunday 19 Sept. They met another car at the Royalla Fire Shed and went via the Old Cooma Road to Queanbeyan and on to Bungendore where two motor bikes joined the party for morning tea. A quick conference was held in the Bungendore Woodworks to see whether we would sell about 4 cars to buy one piece of furniture for $55000. The craftsmanship was superb! From Bungendore we headed for Nortons Road and the Shepherds Run Winery for lunch. One navigator, who shall be called "Late for Lunch" visited at Tarago before turning around to find the correct exit from the roundabout in Bungendore to head for the winery at Wamboin. The countryside around Wamboin was green, the sun was shining, there must have been at least a million kangaroos out grazing and a good day was enjoyed by everyone.

St Pat’s gala golf day

Steve Young, Ian Tozer and Kevin Smith won the mens scratch event at the September 18 St Pats golf day. Pictured right, Misook Barnes and Phil Crawford (with Craig Crawford) won the men’s handicap.

Jordan’s two Personal Bests Two PB’s by Jordan Louis (U/12 athlete competing in the U/14 Age Group) at Athletics ACT’s High Noon Meet on Sunday in Canberra, where Jordan reached a major goal in high jump of 1.20m, he set for himself prior the start of this series of High Noon competition. Jordan’s first PB came via the high jump where he was determined to clear the bar at 1.20m this weekend meet and kick off the new season next month, chasing 1.30m plus. He reached his goal with little to spare at the top of the bar. The shot put is another event in which Jordan is achieving PBs each time he competes at this winter meets. This week was no exception, moving up a weight division in these High Noon meets, Jordan has closed the gap on his 2009/10 Personal Best with the 2kg weight of 7.79m. On Sunday Jordan savagely attacking this distance when he blasted out a 7.74 metre throw with the 3kg shot. If he can keep this quality of performances up this coming season, the Cooma Centre’s U/12 boys shot put Record is likely to be broken.

Jordan has also been working hard in the hammer cage and cracked the 30 metre mark for the first time with 2kg hammer at training last week. The U/12 boys hammer record (26.59 mts) will go in the first comp of the season all being fine. Cooma Athletics Centre season starts on Thursday October 14. Come and join us in our 30th season one and all from Under 6 to Open Athletes and we will welcome any veteran athletes who want to keep active during the summer with a run, jump or throw. So, get your running shoes out, dust off the cobwebs, iron your uniform and head to Snowy Oval for our Rego Day on September 30 at 4 pm. You have the school holidays to tone up the body and make sure that all of your Joints are in tip top condition for a great opening day of competition on October 14.

Birth of origin in Cooma Tommy Raudonikis and Arthur Beetson are the ‘Birth of Origin’. Together they present their audience with an astute, amusing and discerning perceptive of their football days as well as what they think of today’s game. They are two of the original 1980 State of Origin captains who played the game when you had to ‘harden up’ or get out. Tommy Raudonikis OAM was the 1972 Rothmans Gold Medal winner, a player of over 240 Senior games, 29 Test Caps for Australia (two as Captain) and in 2007 he was voted one of the 12 toughest men of Rugby League in the past 50 years. He is a born entertainer, and was awarded an OAM in 1982. Arthur Beetson OAM affectionately known as Big Artie became the first Aboriginal person to captain a major Australian sporting team. He won two consecutive premierships with

Eastern Suburbs and was Captain of the Queensland team in the first ever State of Origin match. Big Artie has played over 220 1st Grade games and captained the Kangaroos twice in his 29-test cap career. He was awarded an OAM in 1987 for his services to Rugby League and after more than 50 years Artie still has a genuine love of the game. On Friday November 19, they will be performing their show at the Cooma Ex-Serviceman’s Club. Their show runs for approximately two hours and includes an auction of league paraphernalia, including signed footballs, caps, t-shirts and bar mats. The show concludes with Tommy and Artie having a question and answer segment with the audience, so have your questions ready. Tommy and Artie will be mingling with guests before and after the show answering questions, sharing a story and a beer.

Social bowls with a difference Players at the Cooma Bowling Club had a different challenge when they lined up for their game of social bowls on Sunday. Whereas the normal aim is to score as many shots as possible they played games where the aim was to win as many ends as possible. In an effort to vary the nature of play in the period between championship seasons, the bowls organiser set the players this challenge that added a different perspective to the game. Players had to concentrate on making sure they won the end regardless of how many shots they held. Five games were played and they all ended up very close with the largest margin being 12 ends to 9. The team of Rod Hassall and John Schoon won the event on a count back after they defeated Steve Lapham and Nelson Wallace. As well as winning 12 – 9 they won their last four ends. Three other games resulted in the same score line. Tony Gray, Max Reeve and Waynne Lodge where too good for Col Cottam, John Vincent and Denis Steinfort . Renate Winckel Daphne Buckley and Mel Storta dominated the middle section of their game with Rod Caldwell, Mario Frezza and Ignazio Mondello while Sue Cottam, Don Jarvis and Geoff Venables where too consistent for Lestelle Lodge, Cobber Seears and Paul Cannell. In the closest game of the day Ron Gammon and Peter Caldwell won the last two ends to just get the

Stroke competition to Bart

better of Richard Nichols and Jack Sajina 11 to 10. On Saturday more traditional matches were played with four games of triples. The teams looked to be very evenly matched on paper but three of them ended in very one sided score sheets. In the one tight struggle Gaile Fitzgerald, Richard Nichols and Peter Caldwell picked up 11 shots in the last three ends to storm home to defeat Cobber Seears, Daphne Buckley and Mark Buckley 25 – 18. Buckley’s team had held the advantage for most of the game and were ahead 18 – 14 before the big finish took the game away from them. The other three games resulted in easy wins. Sandro Wialletton, Margherita Zasso and Geoff Venables started and finished strongly to down Ron Wainwright, Lorraine West and Ray Downey 27 – 14. Maria Frezza, Lola Wallis and Jack Sajina were just too good on the day for Col Cottam, Olga Jebbink and Neil McGregor while Xin Cottam (swinging lead) Sergio Roncelli and Paul Cannell played too well for Jim Fletcher and Ron Gammon. The last weekend for straight social bowls will be played this long weekend with the championship season starting on October 9 with the fours. This weekend will also see a large contingent of local bowlers playing in Lakes Entrance as part of the travelling bowlers program.

Cooma golf with Max Turner Eleven-marker Bart Joseph shot an impressive round of 65 net to win Saturday’s competition by four shots from Brian Searl on 69 net. Brian collected the runners-up prize. David Paterson has now came back into A Grade after his victory in the B Grade Division of Saturday’s competition. David was on song with a fine 65 net to claim victory from Phillip Crawford on 66 net. Chriss Tucker also impressed on Saturday with the best round of the day a 64 net to win the C Grade Division by one stroke from Jim Winckel on 65. Jim was the recipient of the second placed trophy. Saturday’s ball competition winners were Doug Snowden, Malcolm Barnes, Malcolm Browne, Alan Kelly, Ross Fraser, Geoff Simpson, and Robert Wallis 69, along with Colin Langdon, and Kerry Blencowe on 70 on a count back from four other players. Saturday’s Nearest the Pin winners were Phil Crawford and Terry Johnston. Long Drive winners were Norman Marshall A Grade, Shannon Fergusson B Grade and the Big Hitting Martin Gelling in C Grade.

With Anytime Fitness, Cooma just celebrating its first anniversary, The Monaro Post caught up with manager Shane Johnson to recap how big a year the past 12 months have been for the gym. Anytime Fitness obviously filled a big void in the fitness regime of many locals- within a very short time the gym had attracted 300 members. Today, membership stands at 680. The convenience of having a 24-hour gym has been welcomed by members, with early morning and evening timeslots proving to be very popular. There is more than $350,000 in equipment at te gym, including free and fixed weights, fit balls, treadmills, cross-trainers and bikes. Members can request a guided tour of the equipment and its use. Personalised training plans can also be put together, for $30..or manager Shane can also provide personal coaching. To celebrate Anytime’s first birthday, for this month you can join for no membership fee. There is also a limited four-month membership available. It is not unusual to see six or more members at the gym virtually just after sunrise – but those who aren’t early risers are making the most of the afternoon and nighttime sessions.

Pat Birtles, who is a spritely 81 years of age, is officially the oldest member of the Anytime Fitness Club. Pat, pictured at right, joined in June after it became increasingly cold for her to walk outside. We asked Pat why she enjoyed coming to the Club and her response was the relaxed atmosphere, friendly people and variety of easy to use equipment and no pressure as you can do whatever you like as often as you like. Pat had her induction getting her comfortable and confident with all machines and started slowly doing two to three minutes on each cardio machine with a combination of light resistance exercises. Pat has gradually built up her time and resistance on all machines at her own pace. Pat attends the Club three to four times per week and looks forward to each session as she is getting fitter and stronger and also enjoys the social interaction it provides. Rain hail or shine it doesn’t matter what the weathers doing outside as it is always the same temperature inside the Club. The club has more than 100 members over age 55 and would love to have more. The most common question we get from the elderly is Is it safe for me to exercise? The answer is Yes. Even elderly people who have chronic illnesses such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and arthritis can exercise safely. Many of these conditions can be greatly improved with regular exercise. If you are not sure if exercise is safe for or if you have been inactive for a long period you can visit your local GP to get clearance. For the rest of July we invite all you over 55s down to the Club between the hours of 11am and 3pm Monday to Friday to have a free session to experience the Club first hand.
