Barilaro welcomes sale decision
Member for Monaro John Barilaro has welcomed the Government’s decision to retain poles and wires in public hands and protect local jobs while selling the State’s generators. Ribbon “The Government is honouring our election commitments by ruling out the sale of poles and wires,” Mr Barilaro said. Disney “This move protects over 370 highly skilled local jobs in the Monaro while providing desperately needed capital for Hats for kids, adults & pets infrastructure investment.” The Government’s move does not include the sale of any generation facilities in Monaro. The NSW Government’s stake Santa Letters in SnowyHydro is not affected by this reform. “We already have former Member Steve Whan claiming that SnowyHydro is included in the sale. He is either deliberately scaremongering or ignorant of the facts,” Mr Barilaro said. Shop 2, 69 Massie St, Cooma “The sale of the State’s generation assets will free up capital P. 6452 2334 • F. 6452 2134 for essential infrastructure investment in roads, hospitals and public transport.” E. oplay@bigpond.net.au In another win for regional communities, the Government has announced that it will ensure any transaction includes job protections. The Government’s action is in line with the recommendations of the Tamberlin Inquiry which was released on October 31.

contain electricity prices,” Mr Barilaro said. “The sale is a necessary and welcome reform. It will mean more capital for infrastructure investment, competitive electricity prices and protection for local jobs.” Premier Barry O’Farrell said the Tamberlin report warned that maintaining the status quo would not achieve the objective of a competitive and reliable electricity market. “We want to see more competition in the energy market because that is the best way to bring prices under control for householders,” he said. “The competition watchdog will not allow the sale of the generators to proceed if it believes there will be less competition. “But, based on the Tamberlin report, I am confident the ACCC will find the sale is in the best interests of taxpayers,” Mr O’Farrell said. The decision appears to have no impact on Snowy Hydro Limited and its operations. Managing director, Terry Charlton, said last week “ The announcement yesterday that the NSW Government will proceed with the sale of the NSW generators and the remaining development sites is not unexpected and is clearly the appropriate, albeit only, way to clean up the already partly privatised generator businesses, a process commenced under the Labor Government which was replaced in March. “This completion of the generation asset sales and development sites has no impact on Snowy Hydro Limited and probably presents no opportunities. “It is my expectation we would be allowed to bid if we so chose. Previously there was no commercial or policy reason why we should not bid and the same circumstance now, again, applies.” “It was important and relevant then because we wished to grow our retail involvement but those opportunities, Country Energy, Integral Energy and Energy Australia are now sold. The opportunity was denied to us and it is history now”.

Local woman, Kathy Digges, was glad she woke up with the Today Show on the morning of Monday November 14 when she received the call from the Chanel 9 television presenters saying that she’d won $5000! Having only registered for the competition the day before, it was a huge shock for Kathy. “The TV was turned down quite low and I didn’t hear my name but I heard Cooma and when the phone rang, I quietly said ‘I wake up with Today’ just in case!” Kathy said. Each day for two weeks from Saturday, November 11, 2011, TODAY and WEEKEND TODAY have been giving two lucky viewers
the chance to participate in the Great Cash Giveaway. Competition participants are drawn the weekday prior to the on-air call to play via the phone. Upon answering the call, the winner must state, as Kathy did, “I wake up with TODAY”. All winners who have been called will automatically win a minimum of $500 cash. If the person called answers the phone within five rings and answers correctly by saying “I wake up with TODAY”, they can win a minimum of $5000. Kathy said that she didn’t know what she’d spend her money on and would hang on to it for the time being. Congratulations, Kathy!

Chamber re-elects Shelley as president
The new Cooma Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc executive, from left, Nelson Wallace, Kate Roberts, Vice president Cath McGraw, president David Shelley, Martha Atkinson, Matt Dowdney, treasurer Kathy Kelly and secretary Gail Eastaway. Cooma Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc held its annual general meeting last Wednesday, re-electing president David Shelley for a third term. Other members elected to the executive include: Vice president Cath McGraw, treasurer Kathy Kelly, secretary Gail Eastaway, committee members Matt Dowdney, Martha Atkinson, Nelson Wallace, Kate Roberts, Tracy Frazer and Richard Mack. In her financial report, treasurer Kathy Kelly revealed the chamber had made a loss, but this was because it had financed the 2010 Christmas promotion to give something back to its members. Another substantial cost was the chamber’s attendance at the 2010 Country Week expo in Sydney. However, the balance sheet shows the chamber in a healthy financial position. The meeting deferred a decision on a change to the membership structure pending more consideration of the matter. In his presidential report. Mr Shelley described a busy year for the chamber:
“2010/11 has seen continued growth in Cooma Chamber of Commerce & Industry’s profile and partnerships. Positive feedback has been received from our members as to the direction of the Chamber. “We have continued and strengthened partnerships within the Region imperative to the protection of existing businesses and growth opportunities. “Chamber representatives have participated in a range of ongoing committees and focus groups such as the Cooma Development Working Group, Monaro Crime Prevention Committee, Cooma Tourism Committee, etc. as spokespersons for the business community. “The Chamber has continued to represent the interests of the business community where issues have been raised with us through representation to the appropriate bodies. “It has been particularly pleasing to see the wish of non-business members of the community wanting to assist the Chamber achieve those goals of importance not only
to the businesses of our region but to the greater community as a whole. The special resolutions to be tabled at this 2011 Annual General Meeting are in direct recognition of the valuable input and support that can be gained through this involvement. “During the year the Chamber executive has increased the number of dinner meetings held in order to facilitate the opportunity for members and non-members alike to network to the benefit of their businesses and the community at large. Guest speakers have been invited to address the attendees with particular focus on the achievement of or potential for growth opportunities in the Cooma region. “We are confident that the Cooma Chamber of Commerce & Industry has contributed strongly in raising the profile of Cooma and the region and will, with the ongoing support of its members and partnerships and broad recognition outside our region, continue to focus its efforts effectively to the benefit of its member businesses and the wider community”.
However, the legislation that would have allowed this to occur did not pass through the Parliament. The change would see more responsibility placed on individual councillors to attend meetings and represent council on outside committees. However the reduction in numbers would mean savings on fees and administration costs, of the equivalent of two councillors fees – presently around $15,100 for most of the 2012/13 financial year.

by Lisa Ashurst Following the tight deadline attached to the legislation passed by the O’Farrell Government in June 2011, local councils believe they have no choice but to allow the NSW Electoral Commission (NSWEC) to administer their elections despite being given the option to oversee their own. Under the legislation, local councils have until 30 November 2011 to look into the possibilities and to investigate the financial, administrative and legal arrangements involved in organising and running an election, but the NSW Local Government and Shires Association (LGSA) not only believes the November deadline allows insufficient time for local councils to fully implement the changes introduced by the O’Farrell Government in June, it also feels the deadline does not allow enough time to investigate either option, hindering

their ability to make a fully informed decision regarding the 2012 elections. The LGSA approached Mr O’Farrell by letter and requested an extension until March 2012 to allow the councils to have more time to prepare some kind of comparative costs as well as deal with the weighty issues of all the legal considerations. The extension was refused however on the grounds that the NSWEC needs “sufficient time to prepare for the elections that it will be responsible for conducting.” Also, while the Government is aware of the costs, it cannot provide councils with an exact figure either. Cooma-Monaro Shire Council, along with a number of other NSW councils, initially looked favourably on the potential cost savings of running their elections internally and began negotiations with NSWEC for further information on the procedures and technical support the councils could expect to receive. Council was therefore surprised to learn that no such support would be forthcoming! Council then looked into other options in September 2011 in an effort to make cost comparisons. But the Council administering the election itself is proving to look less like a viable option. At the Ordinary Council meeting on November 14, council resolved: • That, subject to receiving an acceptable estimation of costs to service requirements, the NSW Electoral Commission and Chief Executive of the Division of Local Government be advised that Council will engage the NSW Electoral Commission to conduct the 2012 Local Government elections; • That, in the interest of cost minimisation to Council, the Premier be asked to waive the Statutory 10 percent premium fee on the NSW Electoral Commission’s budget for the provision of the 2012 Local Government Elections. • That the General Manager hold discussions with adjoining and adjacent Councils with a view to sharing a Returning Officer and possibly media marketing arrangements for operational and cost efficiencies.
Lending institutions must provide home loan fact sheets from 1 January 2012
Barilaro welcomes speed limit review
Home loan fact sheets provide a standardised layout for information on a loan you are considering Because lenders must provide information in the same way, it will be easier to shop around and compare loans Lenders must provide them on request Home loan fact sheets will allow you to compare loans side by side so you can clearly see the differences between loans The layout is standardised so you can compare apples with apples Important information will be highlighted, such as the total amount to be paid back over the life of the loan
The Australian Government is making changes to the banking system to make it fairer and more competitive. So talk to your lending institution – you have plenty of choices.

Member for Monaro John Barilaro today welcomed the announcement of the top 100 roads to be reviewed as part of the NSW Government’s audit of speed zones. “Snowy Mountains Highway is one of the 100 roads nominated by the community that have been selected to be reviewed across NSW” Mr Barilaro said. “The Safer Roads NSW website was launched in July as part of the audit and since then more than 2,600 people have had their say about speed limits and speed limit signs. “The information provided by the community has helped the NSW Centre for Road Safety to prioritise road corridors to be reviewed. “The audit aims to strike a balance between the right speed zone for the road conditions and not having an excessive number of speed changes. The results of the speed zone reviews will help determine whether a change to the speed limit is needed. “Reviews will be carried out in line with
the NSW Speed Zoning Guidelines and will consider a number of factors including road environment, traffic characteristics and crash profiles. “The reviews will be carried out by RMS and completed by the end of March 2012. “Any feedback submitted to the Safer Roads NSW website by the community will be reviewed and considered as part of an ongoing program of speed zone reviews. I encourage the community to keep visiting the website and sending in their comments. “In addition, the Safer Roads NSW website now offers an email update service which people can sign up to and receive updates about upcoming permanent speed limit changes in their nominated area,” Mr Barilaro said. Feedback can be provided by going to www.rms.nsw.gov.au <http://www.rms.nsw. gov.au/> , clicking on the Roads tab and following the Safer Roads NSW website link.

World’s seventh billionth baby?
Visitor Economy Taskforce in Cooma
Could Jim David Ian Sirett be the world’s seventh billion baby? Weighing 10lb, big Jim as he has been affectionately nicknamed, is the first child for Catherine and Lindsay Sirett of Berridale. Officials from the UN, named October 31, 2011 as Seven Billion Day. This was primarily to draw attention to the world’s growing population and the changes they face. Babies born on this day were symbolically recognised to represent the global population milestone and the Monaro welcomes Jim to the world. The UN Population Fund hopes to raise awareness about reproductive health, women’s rights and inequality through the campaign. Although the accuracy of the projection has been questioned, with some groups arguing that the figure is more likely to be reached next year, we can claim that we have the seventh billion baby living in our region!

2012. The taskforce members are Russell Balding, AO, Bruce Baird, John King and Sandra Chipchase.Mr Balding and Mr Baird were in Cooma, accompanied by Phil Hele, who facilitated the meeting. Those in attendance came from Cooma, Jindabyne, the Snowy Mountains, Adaminaby and the Sapphire Coast. The topics raised by the group will be considered by the taskforce in formulating its report. Topics raised included training of tourism staff, opportunities for more tourism activities within national parks, park entry fees, co-operation between government departments,
cutting red tape to speed up development processes, funding, assistance with grant applications, public transport, marketing and promotion and working regionally. The meeting was encouraged to provide test cases to the taskforce, via its email address, because those test cases can be built into the report. Attendees were also encouraged to take their concerns to their local parliamentarians and to encourage those parliamentarians to visit the area to discuss the issues raised. Mr Balding said some of the important matters raised, for example road access, could
be addressed sooner than May Following the round of meetings across NSW, a number of Industry Advisory Groups will be established to develop ideas in key areas that will deliver growth in tourism and events for NSW. The Taskforce will also consider the findings of recent reports developed in partnership with industry. The Visitor Economy Taskforce will work alongside Destination NSW and its Board and welcomes industry’s views and ideas. Email: visitoreconomy@ business.nsw.gov.au
Discovery Programs win Award The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Aboriginal Discovery Programs based in Tumut won the Indigenous Tourism Award at the prestigious Canberra and Capital Region Tourism Awards on Friday. NPWS Tumut Visitor Centre Manager Mark Lees says winning the award is a major achievement for the team, Parks, the local Aboriginal community and for Snowy Mountains tourism in general. “I am proud of our team and the work we are undertaking to educate the community and increase awareness of and appreciation for our local Aboriginal culture. “As the winner of a Canberra Tourism Award, we are now a finalist in the Australian Tourism Awards which will be held in Cairns in March, 2012. “A major focus for Aboriginal Discovery Programs is to educate visitors and the community, but also to work with the Aboriginal community to help them preserve their culture for future generations. “We have delivered more than 420 face-toface hours of work experience to members of our local Aboriginal community including high school students, TAFE students and youth at risk, and we have delivered traditional practices training to
a further 26 participants. “Beyond offering an excellent tourism product, our aim is to build Aboriginal cultural knowledge, assist Aboriginal people to reconnect with country, and help people explore career paths in Aboriginal heritage tourism. “Over the last year our NPWS Aboriginal Discovery Programs were delivered to more than 8,200 people, up 29 percent on the previous year, and we have won this award due to our achievements, our written submission and the experiences of an anonymous ‘mystery shopper’ who judged our services. “NPWS Aboriginal Discovery Programs help to strengthen the region’s overall tourism industry by attracting local, domestic and international visitors and delivering an excellent product. “Our thanks goes out to the Wiradjuri community for their support, the Snowy Mountains tourism industry and the many quality businesses we work with. “This award recognises the high quality Indigenous tourism experience we offer and promotes Tumut and Snowy Mountains on a national level,” Mr Lees said.

Pam our new library manager

Pam Veiss has taken the role of library manager of Cooma Library after the retirement last week of Lyn Goucher.
Lisa Ashurst Cooma Library welcomed the new manager on November 23, 2011 as Pam Veiss stepped into the role left vacant when former manager, Lyn Goucher, retired recently after 40 years in the industry. Pam joined the Cooma-Monaro community in 2003 when she moved to the region from Sydney, where she had been working in several Library Service applications and took up a temporary position as the Library’s Community Information Officer in March of that year. While standing in, Pam organised a full update of the Business and Community Data Base. During 2004 Pam filled in as Resource Management Officer for a staffer who was on long service leave. When the staffer decided not to return, Pam applied for the position and in February 2005 found her application had been successful.
The Manager’s job is a full time position and Pam is looking forward to stepping into the role. She plans to continue with the great services already implemented by previous manager, Lyn Goucher, but is also looking forward to introducing some new strategies and has a lot planned for the Library in the future. Something to help get it up and running is the Co-op Grant the Library has secured through South East NSW Libraries; Pam is putting it to good use in making it available for people to be able to access and download ebooks and audio books via the Library’s computers, or home computers and other devices. While very qualified for the position, there are still some things involved in managing the Library that Pam is yet to learn but she is eager to learn while on the job. “I already know the people I am working with” Pam added “and that’s definitely an advantage.”

No enrolments mean Ando Public School to close for 2012 Ando Public School will go into recess in 2012, a year short of its centenary. The school currently has six students enrolled. The Department of Education has said the action is due to a fall in enrolments“With zero enrolments for Ando Public School in 2012, a decision has been made to put the school into recess next year,” a department spokesman has said. “The decision to place Ando Public School into recess was made due to falling enrolments and not due to any staff movements. “As in other organisations, personnel are entitled to seek promotion within the Department of Education and Communities and any vacancies created are filled by suitably qualified personnel. A Relieving Principal was arranged for Ando Public School for 2012 however with no enrolments this person has been redistributed elsewhere. “As a decision has just been made about Ando Public School, official notification to the Department of Transport about the school’s status for 2012 is now occurring, however the Principal has verbally advised the bus contractor about the school being placed into recess next year. “The Ando Public School Principal will relieve in the position of Principal at Bombala Public School next year and the School Administrative Manager has been given a priority transfer. The General Assistant will continue to maintain the grounds for 2012. “Demographic variations and changes in situation will be regularly monitored. “There will be a review at the end of next year and a determination made then about the school’s long term future”, the spokesperson said. Ando Public School is one of several local schools to have received funding under the Building Education Revolution in the last four years. Under the BER, the school received a new administration facility, at a cost of $270,682 and recently, internal and external painting, plus improvements to the kitchen valued at $50,000 According to the school’s website, Ando Public
School “is in an isolated rural setting. CAP funding has allowed for extra programs in P.E, sport, multiculturalism, aboriginal education, performing arts, literacy and personal development, to be run in conjunction with key learning area programs. “The students of Ando Public School are encouraged to enhance their own learning through full participation in all activities. “Ando Public School provides a rich learning environment for all students to develop as lifelong learners in a climate where students are safe, happy and successful”. Ando Public School will go into recess next year because of a lack of enrolments.

Montague to launch first book Author Paul Montague, will launch his first book at the Raglan Gallery, Cooma, on December 3. Mr Montague said of his first book “My writings predominately to my memories and experiences growing up on Monaro. “Having a wonderful relationship with my grandfather and exposure to the activities of the family Auctioneering, Stock, Station and Real Estate Agency provided the basis for many of my poems. “It had been a goal for many
years to complete unfinished poems and compile these with existing poems, photographs and historical documents. I had previously put together a ‘This Is Your Life’ photographic exposition for dad’s (Frank Montague) 75th birthday and in doing so, was reminded of past pleasures, growing up in the Snowy Mountains. “A number of events, most particularly my telephone conversation with Lucy Nesci in September of 2009 following an

introduction to ‘A Feast of Poetry’. Lucy guided me to a book written by Euan Mitchell and titled Self Publishing Made Simple. This book provided a simple yet professional frame work around which to develop my book ‘The Auctioneer and Other Poems’. I am very appreciative of Lucy’s support and thank her for the contribution that has made this book possible. “Much of the poetic content of this book is based upon my memories and experiences growing up on Monaro. The most significant early influence came from my grandfather, James Aloysisus Montague, (Poppy Jim) who unwittingly instilled an enormous sense of family pride, a solid respect for the past and a passion for the bush and its people. “The book consists of twelve poems, each with supportive photographs and documents, mostly relating to my exposure to the social and physical elements of the Monaro. ‘The Auctioneer’, captures my memories and pride as a young boy watching dad on the stands and in the pens at the Cooma Sale Yards. In ‘Keep A Little Powder Dry’, I speak of the joy my grandfather
Poppy Jim bought to my life and touch on events that shaped his life. The ‘Sheds of the Snowy’ tells of life in the shearing sheds, workings as a roustabout for John Schofield. The other poems tell of the people, places and activities that influenced my youth and guided my life. “As a young boy, growing up in Cooma, I was most fortunate
Author, Paul Montague. to gain an understanding of past generations and the joys and challenges they faced whilst building a strong rural community. The seed for this understanding was provided by my grandfather and members of his generation. “In life, it is very important for us to know where we are
going and be focused on the future, however, it is equally important to know where we have come from. What lay behind us and what events and interactions have influenced our makeup and made us who we are today? And, how can we use these influences to change and grow. The answer is a varying combination of past events, our passions, beliefs, responsibilities and our future goals and aspirations. The answer is achieved by looking at the road ahead and at times, glancing into the rear view mirror. I wanted this book to be that ‘rear view mirror’ for those that have not had the first hand experience afforded me in youth. I wish for my two daughters, Emilia and Domenica Montague to have an appreciation of their heritage, as I do, and be able to have a glimpse at history. I believe others too, would appreciate these photographs and memories. “At the launch of my book, ‘The Auctioneer and Other Poems’ on Saturday December 3 at the Raglan Gallery, I will speak of the wonderful journey this book has provided, recite a number of poems from the book and answer any questions that may arise”.

Snowies operators are tourism winners
Tourism Snowy Mountains TSM members take home the prestige at the ACT Tourism Awards. From left TSM Executive Officer Jo Larkin, TSM Chair David Sheldon accepted award on behalf of Boggy Creek Show, Brad Spalding with Thredbo Valley Distillery award, Mark Lees with NPWS Discovery Program Award. Front is Shane Herrington, Talea Bulger and Jack Bulger NPWS Discovery Rangers. The winners of the Canberra and Capital Region Tourism Awards were announced last Friday in Canberra at a ceremony held at the National Gallery of Australia. Six Snowy Mountains tourism operators were finalists at the awards and on the night the Snowies took home four prestigious awards in front of 350 tourism industry attendees including Tourism Snowy Mountains TSM Chair David Sheldon and Executive Officer Jo Larkin who were there to represent the Snowies and support the regions finalists. First winner was Boggy Creek Shows - Heritage and Cultural Tourism category and then followed Kosciuszko National Park Aboriginal Discovery Program - winner Indigenous Tourism category, Thredbo Valley Distillery winner Qantas Award for Excellence in Sustainable Tourism category and Thredbo YHA - winner Backpacker Accommodation category. Activate Lake Crackenback Resort were also finalists on the night in the Adventure Tourism Category. Boggy Creek Shows was also recognised as one of the top three entrants across all categories. They received a prize worth 12.5k in media value from Southern Cross Austereo. They were recognised as the most outstanding ‘small business’ entrant with awards also going to top entrants for medium and large business . The Qantas Award for Excellence
in Sustainable Tourism was awarded for the first time to Thredbo Valley Distillery. Chair of the judging panel Garry Watson said the win for Thredbo Valley Distillery had been a surprise. “They’re a business that really thinks long and hard about the environment,’’ Mr Watson said. He said the range and quality of the entrants had been impressive, and that many of the contestants were well placed to take out national awards when they are announced in March next year. “I congratulate all the Snowy Mountains award winners and finalists and I felt there was a strong promotion of the Snowy Mountains as a tourism region on the night due to the great impact as the Snowies awards came in one after the other,” TSM Chairman David Sheldon said. The Canberra and Capital Region Tourism Awards provide the highest level of support for tourism award entrants in any jurisdiction in the nation. This support includes a mentor program, submission development workshops and Australia’s only mystery shopper program. In addition, all entrants have access to the student assistance program administered by the University of Canberra. The winners of these awards will represent the ACT at the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards 2011 in Cairns in March 2012.

News last week that the NSW Government is going to sell off power generators is a concern. It seems totally contrary to what was promised prior to the state election. While keeping the poles and wires is the big appeasement for the electorate, The Postman still isn’t buying it. Selling off the generators was something proposed by Nick Greiner. Many locals will remember Nick Greiner, who, as the then Premier of NSW, closed the CoomaQueanbeyan rail line. Not a popular move, either. But if there was ever any need to reinforce the notion that there is no loyalty in politics, let’s just look at last week’s Federal farce, with Peter Slipper soft-shoeing his way into the Speaker’s position. These days Federal politics is all about me, me, me and too bad about us, us us. So much for representing his electorate, let alone his party. Thankfully, parliament is in recess for now and we’ll be spared any more shenanigans for a few weeks at least.

Cooma to celebrate the diversity and achievements of people with a disability The State Government’s Don’t DIS My ABILITY campaign will culminate in the United Nation’s International Day of People with a Disability on Saturday December 3. The campaign is designed to celebrate the diversity and achievements of people with a disability. International Day of People with Disability (IDPWD) is designated by the United Nations as a time to celebrate and recognise the achievements, contributions and abilities of people with a disability. Each year the UN announces a theme for the day that is based on the goal of full and equal enjoyment of human rights, and participation in society by people with disability. The theme for 2011 is: “Together for a better world for all: Including persons with disabilities in development”. The International Day of People with Disability will be celebrated in Cooma with the Celebrate Ability event in Centennial Park on Friday December 2, from 11am-2pm. Celebrate Ability is being organised by representatives from Workability, Monaro High, Cooma Public School, Ageing, Disability and Home Care, Monaro Early Intervention service, and the community. This year we have our very own ambassador Josh Alford who is assisting in organising the event and who will be present on the day. Celebrations will include live music, activities
with the Canberra raiders and Special Olympics group, didgeridoo performance, awards for employers and employees and community groups, information stalls, art display, massages, drumbeat, the bubble man, karate display, and a free sausage sizzle. The whole community is welcome. Come along for a great day for people of all ages. For further information, please call Sharon, Hilary, or Cathy from Ageing, Disability, and Home Care on 6452 0400. The theme for this year’s Don’t DIS My ABILITY campaign is technology and independence which are timely as social networking is increasingly helping people with a disability to connect, overcome isolation and be independent. For example, Ageing Disability and Home Care’s Don’t DIS my ABILITY campaign utilises Twitter and Facebook to share campaign information with people with a disability, their families and carers. The campaign currently has almost 6000 Facebook friends and has a global following - including in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand. As part of the campaign, about 100 events are being held across NSW and communities are encouraged to take part. For further information about the campaign, events and activities, visit www.dontdismyability. com.au or join the conversation on Facebook or Twitter.

Water quality and improvements for Upper Murrumbidgee Natural resource management in the Upper Murrumbidgee River catchment has been enhanced from the completion of engineered structures in the Numeralla River, creating additional habitat for fish and improving water quality in the river. The structures were installed at two sites where bank erosion was occurring, which was contributing to high turbidity in the Numeralla River. Turbidity refers to the murkiness of water, caused by suspended material such as soil and algae. Turbid water, as well as being unsightly also heats up faster, reducing the amount of dissolved oxygen available to aquatic animals. The suspended particles can also clog fish gills and settle into the spaces between gravel and rocks and reduce the
amount of habitat available to creatures that live in these crevices. Chair of the Murrumbidgee CMA, Lee O’Brien said the Numeralla River InStream Erosion Project was a community based effort. “The local Numeralla Landcare group was involved in the implementation of the on-ground works,” Mr O’Brien said. “Local landholders have been involved in the initial planning phase of the project, such as identifying the sites and providing valuable input into the most appropriate remedial methods to address erosion in the area. “The CMA is keen to promote the theme of collaboration in the Upper Murrumbidgee. “This is one of several projects in
this part of the catchment where the Murrumbidgee CMA has formed a partnership with key natural resource management stakeholders.” The control structures will reduce the force of the flow of water, increasing the stability of the bank and preventing further erosion. Following construction of the structures, adjoining landholders erected fencing to manage stock access to the river and Numeralla Landcare planted native trees, shrubs and water plants to assist the recovery of the sites. The Australian and NSW Governments contributed funding to the Numeralla River In-Stream Erosion Project through the Murrumbidgee CMA, via the Caring for our Country and Catchment Action
NSW programs, NSW Department of Trade and Investment (Crown Lands Division) and NSW Department of Primary Industries (fisheries), in collaboration with Cooma-Monaro Shire Council, Numeralla Landcare, and Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch, and with the cooperation and support of the adjoining landholders.

Farmers warned: look up and live With harvest season underway in many parts of New South Wales, Essential Energy is warning farmers and agricultural contractors to look up to avoid electrical hazards while harvesting or moving high machinery near or under powerlines. Group Manager OHS&E Audit and Public Safety, David Harris, said a thorough assessment of electrical hazards is the key to an accidentfree harvesting and sowing season, reducing downtime and possible loss of income. “While most rural workers are aware of the hazards posed by overhead and underground powerlines, working to tight deadlines and complacency can result in a lack of concentration. “The end of a long day is often the danger period, when workers may be tired, have worked to deadlines or are losing concentration – unfortunately, statistics show that this is when the majority of accidents occur.” Powerlines brought down by heavy machinery not only threaten the personal safety of operators, but also comprise the safety of the general public and can cause inconvenience to the community through unnecessary power interruptions. David said based on Essential Energy’s records,
one of the greatest safety risks for farmers and contractors is the movement of high machinery near or under powerlines. “If you’re transporting large farm equipment plan a route to stay clear of overhead electrical lines and other hazards and exercise extreme caution,” David said. “Accidents may not just occur on your property, planning a route to stay clear of overhead powerlines is just as important if you’re moving large farm equipment between properties.” 5.5 metres is the minimum ground clearance of powerlines in rural locations. Operators are asked to look for signage or markers to identify the location of overhead wires. “I encourage property owners to clearly mark powerlines on their place with high visibility line markers and as an added precaution put in place ground level line markers – such as a 44 gallon drum with ‘look up’ painted on it, or visible signage at least eight to 10 metres either side of powerlines,” David said. If machinery does accidentally contact overhead powerlines, Essential Energy should be contacted immediately on 13 20 80.

Raglan Gallery extensions to proceed After months of anticipation and hard work The Raglan Gallery has at last gained approval from council to make extensions to the existing heritage building in Lambie Street. The decision was made at council’s last meeting on Monday November 14. An existing add-on part of the gallery will be demolished to make way for the new extended section which will be linked to the back of the existing facility. It will provide more storage space, new toilets and enable exhibitions to welcome much larger entries that were too big and heavy to display on the existing delicate walls. It is also hoped that the new section will be used for art workshops to encourage new and emerging artists and further benefit existing artists. “It will give us more options and allow us to expand on what we already do,” Raglan Gallery chairman, Bernadette Nater, said. “We see ourselves as the principal gallery on the Monaro and these developments will help the community access the local art within.” “It [Raglan Gallery] is a real community place, commented Bernadette. “It is run by the community for the community.” Council’s heritage advisor, Pip Giovanelli, has suggested a number of requirements for the new extensions including that the roof of the new section be of galvanised iron (i.e. Custom Orb profile) so that the new roof is in character with the historic roof of the site. “The new gallery floor should be the same level as the historic gallery floor, unless there is no feasible or permissible alternative, Ms Giovanelli, said. “This will clarify the connection between the existing and proposed building and to eliminate if possible the need to cut into the historic gallery floor and hence reduce the amount of ground excavation necessary for the proposed new gallery.
“To ensure that the external appearance is appropriate to its context the external materials, profiles, finishes and colours should be clarified prior to approval, possibly by use of a sample board and colour swatches.” The work is ready to start as soon as possible with a few points still to be discussed with council regarding the
toilets and the application of a construction certificate. The cost for the new section of the facility, which is estimated at $189,000, was all raised by the dedicated and hard working volunteers of the local art community and by generous donations.

Kiandra a perfect setting for Alps 25th celebrations Australian Alps national park management observed 25 years of cross-border co-operation at Kiandra on November 20 and some 250 enthusiastic members of the public joined in the celebrations. Australian Alps Program Manager Anthony Evans said the day was a success and plans were underway for another event, possibly towards the end of summer. “It was great to have so many people come to Kiandra in such wild weather and while not all of our outdoor program could go ahead, groups still headed off into driving rain to explore with our experts on hand, an amazing sight. “We’re only in early planning stages, but we would like to run another event at Kiandra around Easter so families can camp in the area and enjoy discovery programs as well as exploring the courthouse and goldfields. “Twenty-five years ago NSW, Victoria, the ACT and the
Commonwealth signed an agreement to officially work together regarding the Alps, and the anniversary of that partnership made for a fantastic day in Kiandra,” Mr Evans said. NPWS Project Manager Steve Horsley was born and bred in the High Country and said the Alps 25th celebrations had a positive feel and a true sense of community. “Considering the weather, I didn’t think we would get as many to Kiandra as we did and it’s good to see so many people willing to get involved. “Back in 1998 the community told us pretty loudly that they valued the Kiandra Courthouse and with the new renovations it’s becoming a key destination point for the northern end of Kosciuszko National Park. “Kiandra is a special place for its Aboriginal heritage
as well as for the gold mining, skiing, grazing, and Snowy Scheme construction eras and it’s pleasing for me to see improvements made and the strong community support,” Mr Horsley said.-

TSM elects new chairperson At its Wednesday November 2 annual general meeting the board of Tourism Snowy Mountains (TSM) elected David Sheldon from Tumut as the chair of the new board that was put in place in July this year. David takes over from Nick Kennedy who had to step down from the position due to work commitments. The board commended Nick on his efforts over during this period for leading TSM through the transitional change and applauded his decision to remain on the board and to continue in his efforts to make the Snowy Mountains the first choice for a holiday destination in NSW David brings with him a wealth of experience, dating back to the 80’s in Queensland when he first ventured into the Industry. David is now the owner operator of Elm Cottage in the Tumut region, a Triple AAA rated, 4 and a half star luxury retreat, and winner of the 2011 prestigious international Tripadvisor/Flipkey award for top rental property, he and his wife Deborah built in 2003. This is David’s second term on the board of Tourism Snowy Mountains. David has a vision for TSM to be operator and region driven, not reliant on Destination NSW for funding, points he highlighted during his AGM address. David spoke with passion about the region and the Industry at large emphasizing Tourism Snowy Mountains is far more that just a vessel to deliver marketing dollars from Destination NSW, that it is the peak Industry body within the entire Snowy Mountains region that provides a vision we can all rally behind to maximize our potential and the visitor economy. David attended the recent FORTO regional tourism conference in Sydney the day after the election assisting with TSM General Manager Gary Grant and board member Peter Cochran in identifying strategies to help in the success of the NSW governments vision to double tourism expenditure by 2020. The Board Members are David Sheldon (Chair), Wayne Kirkpatrick (Deputy Chair), Janette Raedel (Treasurer), Nick Elliott (Secretary/Public Officer), Nick Kennedy and Jonathan Kobus . The stakeholder members are Glen Waterhouse (LGA representative), Richard Phillips (Resorts), David Hogan (Snowy Hydro), Peter Cochran (Chambers of Commerce), Diana Kahaui (Destination NSW), Margaret O’Dwyer (NSW Trade and Investment). Mr Sheldon is enthusiastic that the composition of the new TSM Board with its Industry experience, commercial talent, stakeholder thrust drive and enthusiasm will take TSM to the next level in following the recommendations from the Gibbs Report that the TSM Board adopted in July 2010.

Children at Cooma Public Primary School have been involved in the Positive Behaviour in Schools program for a number of years now. This program looks at how developing strong school values amongst its student body helps improve general behaviour and school attitude. The program has been highly successful at Cooma PS with great progress made developing the values of respect, responsibility, safety and learning. A recent innovation for the school PBS program has been the introduction of the special school CHECKERS team. The team ‘CHECKS-IN’ each morning with the Principal. This means they have a friendly chat with the Principal, set targets and goals for the day ahead and works out how they can get the very most out of their coming school day. In doing this they will be setting themselves up as a positive role model for other students.
At the completion of the school day the CHECKERS ‘check-out’ for the day with the Principal briefly discussing their success with the days’ targets and goals. As you can see from the photograph above, the CHECKERS recently celebrated the very first successful completion of a CHECKERS program with their Principal, Stephen Mayhew. Mr Mayhew said that he was extremely proud of the boys for working hard to present themselves as positive role models for younger children at school.
Ando Stars Shine Again Ando students continue to shine in many areas. Last week students were notified of their outstanding success in the Feast of Poetry Competition. Brianna Rankin in year 3 won the Primary Section with her poem titled ‘Monaro Winter’ with Billy Hines winning second place in this section with his poem ‘Wild Spirits’. Caroline Rumph received a highly commended for her poem called ‘Transitions’ and Liam Rankin received a commended for his poem ‘Leaves’. Two other students Kalani Towers and Darcy Paul had their poems “Peril” and “Cruel Nature” selected to be published along with the other winners in a poetry anthology. The students competed against students from all states of Australia and were judged by Dr. Penelope Cottier, poet and author; and Diana Harley, children’s author and teacher of writing. The children will be presented with their prizes at the Feast of Poetry Day at the Raglan Gallery on Saturday December 3. Staff and students were also thrilled when news from ‘Doodle4 Google’ was received. Two students, Brianna and Liam Rankin were selected along with 320 other State and Territory finalists in this competition which was held worldwide earlier in the year.
The Australian National Winner will have their ‘Doodle’ showcased on the website worldwide for 24 hours. Principal, Jo Tozer, and staff were delighted with the outstanding success of the children and congratulated them on their continued achievements.

Lucky Jen Solomon won the aquarium from Cooma Pet Shop on Saturday. She is pictured with Sandra Brabon.
Bagpiper Chris Adams. Saturday November 26 was a day to get all tails wagging with Cooma pet shop and the East End Café raising a massive $1500 towards Guide Dogs Australia. Although the rain did put a dampener on things and some of the activities were called off it was still an excellent day. The newest member of the pet shop family and mascot for responsible pet ownership, Happy Joe Lucky was a big hit with kids running from miles to meet him. Other great entertainment included Chris Adams, local bagpiper who kept the crowd
entertained for an amazing four hours and donated all of that time to help and support the Guide Dogs. A raffle is also being held and will be drawn in December with all funds raised going to this much-needed cause. First prize is a three-day horse trek adventure valued at $1000. Other great prizes are two nights away for two adults in Merimbula and a goody-filled hamper. It was a very worthy cause and with much help and support from the local community got a wonderful result.

St John’s Wort St John’s Wort is a native of Europe, Asia and North America. St John’s Wort was brought to Australia for its ornamental and medicinal properties in around 1875. It is a poisonous weed that can cause photosynthesisation and death when eaten by livestock. Status St John’s Wort is a Class 4 Noxious Weed in the Cooma-Monaro Shire. The growth and spread of the plant must be controlled according to the measures specified in a management plan published by Council. Habitat St John’s Wort is a weed of both agriculture and natural ecosystem. It is found in grasslands, woodlands, as well as cleared pastures and forestry plantations. St John’s Wort forms extensive infestation that recruits best on bare or lightly vegetated ground and where poorer soils are evident.
Characteristics The roots of St John’s Wort grow vertically in the soil as well as another set (rhizomes) that grow laterally and produce suckers. The stems are green or reddish green and up to 60cm tall, branches are in opposite pairs. Flowers are bright yellow in a forked, leafy panicle, have five petals and are in a cluster at the top of the stem. Flowering occurs from October to March. In summer, each plant on ripening produces 30 to 70 seeds for releasing the following autumn and winter.

Last year we were again a finalist in the NSW Country Racing awards, which we have been in for the last eight to 10 years and won three times. I’d like to thank the community for all their support in the Community Race Club Award, which is borne out by the support of local businesses, and their support of this feature. Without this support we could not put the meeting on. I would also like to thank the service clubs who work on the day to provide a fantastic atmosphere which culminates in a great social event for the local community. We are looking forward to a great day’s racing and a successful fashions on the field competition. All our usual amenities - bar, barbecue, tote and the big screen will again be available. I’d like to thank the committee for all their hard work throughout the year in putting on a fantastic race day. The committee continues to work on improvement to the facilities and preservation of our historic grandstand. The track is looking good and we are looking forward to good fields and a great day’s racing.
Cooma Cup history The Cooma Cup has a long history, first being run in 1854 seven years before the first Melbourne Cup. This year, history has been made with a record 116 nominations received for the six race program, an outstanding result for the club. The Sundowners Cup commemorates the making in 1958 and 1959 of the movie The Sundowners, which starred Deborah Kerr, Robert Mitchum, Peter Ustinov and Chips Rafferty. Shot primarily on the Monaro, it created great interest and provided numerous job opportunities. Locals who featured
in the movie included Don and Pat McDonald, John and Nancy Schofield, Cliff Norton and Gemma Collins. The organiser of the first Sundowners Cup in 1993, Roger Norton explained “The Sundowners Cup was the focus of a week of activities in 1993. The week started with a screening of The Sundowners movie, included a fashion parade of garments from the era, a street parade featuring vintage cars and a golf day. Race day events at the track included a parade of vintage cars and many race goers dressed in period costume.

2011 brings about a slight change in the Fashions on the Field at the Sundowners Cup race day being held next Saturday at Ti-Tree race course in Cooma. As well as being a major drawcard for the races and a highlight for the day for many, the popularity of the event is growing each and every year. This year there is no end of fantastic prizes on offer; in fact well over $4000 worth of prizes in total are up for grabs. There will be the Fillies on the Field for 16 – 24 year olds, Divas on the Field for 25 – 40 year olds, Diamonds on the field for the over 40s, The most stylish hat, Best dressed couple, Best dressed gentleman and of course The most outlandish male outfit. All the prizes have been kindly donated, many from local business houses in Cooma itself. According to Andrea Wallace this year’s prizes are fantastic, with the major prizes being worth several hundred dollars alone. This years organisers and judges of Fashions on the Field are Andrea Wallace, Kate Litchfield, Chloe Wallace and a special guest judge. “This year we will be looking at the complete package, co-ordinating your outfit with your accessories, deportment and attention to detail will be highly sought,” stated Ms Wallace. “Classic race wear is what we are looking for, not a cocktail dress or something you would wear to a nightclub. Colour is very fashionable at the moment and I’d like to see a lot of colour in the outfits too and head wear is essential.” Continued on P5...

2011 Fashions on the field Continued from P4...
Possibly the most appealing prizes for this year are the first place prizes for Divas and Diamonds on the field and Most Stylish hat, as they are all for nights away with accommodation. Fashions on the field is also very good for the local business houses, it encourages people to buy shoes, hats, bags and dresses from local shops. Cooma offers a wide range of clothes and accessories and sometimes we forget that by shopping locally, it not only benefits the town but it can also provide you with a fresh, new, eye catching outfit without you having to travel far for them. There are many prizes to win in each category of the Fashions on the Field, with all having prizes for not only first place but also runners up; so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always have to come in first place to win a great prize. Other major prizes include: Mt Selwyn Snowfields Package valued at $300, $200 cash from Ben Dowton Removals, $200 Eistreich Jewellers gift voucher, $120 Beautylicious gift voucher, $150 Beauty Hamper courtesy of The Monaro Post just to list a few. For your chance to be on the winners podium at this years Sundowner Cup follow the judges advice and may the best dressed win!

Overtaking lane work commences The first steps in a $6 million upgrade of the Monaro Highway have begun with survey work starting south of Williamsdale. “The survey work will help the Roads and Maritime Service design a new southbound overtaking lane near the southern intersection of the highway with Kellys Road,” Mr Barilaro said. The area between Williamsdale and Michelago is in the middle of about 40 kilometres of road where there is no overtaking lane for southbound motorists. “The new lane will give motorists a chance to overtake
slower vehicles, which will improve road safety and reduce frustration,” Mr Barilaro said. “The new lane can be built without affecting properties nearby because there is unused space next to the road.” Mr Barilaro said This $6 million investment in the Monaro Highway was a Liberals and Nationals election commitment. The new overtaking lane is the first project to be funded through this commitment. Details of the other projects which the $6 million commitment will fund are being finalised.
Members of the Geelong Car Club are pictured with some of their cars outside Cooma Railway Station.

SALUTE TO VOLUNTEERS A talented group of card makers met last Saturday at the Hospital Education Room for the annual volunteer card making festival. Two of the ladies, Vicki and Irene, worked hard on colour co-ordination and produced some beautiful birthday cards. One of the ladies, Kim, had previously taken some photos of the local area including the historical train, flowers and the prize winning Christmas lights of the home of Marie and Ray from 2010 and from these photos she produced some very unusual and eye catching Christmas cards. Wendy, Alicia and Maree also worked very hard and all the girls invite you to visit the Hospital Shop and buy these cards thus supporting the Cooma Hospital Auxiliary. Thank you to these volunteers as the Hospital Auxiliary Committee need every penny that is raised for them to purchase equipment for the hospital. Glad you also had a fun day with your hard work!!

Lisa Ashurst Twin I is turning into quite the guitarist! He owns a six string and 12 string acoustic, both of which he put on lay-by and diligently paid off, and often spends his downtime playing. Over time has taught himself to play them both incredibly well, displaying an amazing talent. This is very good. Then he bought himself an amplifier. It’s quite a good one and for all its fairly compact size, can put out a lot of volume. Quite a lot actually and it’s not until you are sitting on the lounge about to take a sip of your cuppa in all ignorance of the amp that’s out of sight but right beside the lounge, meaning it’s pretty much directly under your ear, that you realise exactly how much volume it can pump out because it’s at that point that Twin I decided to kick off his practice session with a really determined strum of all 12 strings. This was not very good. I practically doused myself with coffee as I shot ceiling-ward and to this day I’m not sure if I’m still the same woman as the one who had just sat down with that cuppa. “Hang on” he offered as I landed in a dishevelled heap “I’ll just turn it down a bit.” A bit. A bit!!? How about a whole lot? Or even better, how about he just takes the whole kit and caboodle into his bedroom and practice in there! He’d have privacy, comfort, plenty of room and best of all, a bedroom door he could close! So much better than the lounge room where I’m still recovering from the opening chord. Or he could just unplug the cute little amplifier. Yes I know, it could have been a lot worse as he may have wanted to take up the drums or the bagpipes. I personally have nothing against either except I would have them in the lounge room instead and they don’t even need the aid of an amp to shatter one’s peace and/or eardrums. Anyway, I can always take my book and my cuppa to another part of the house or way down the backyard but what I’m wondering is this; if the amp has a volume control why have it up on the highest setting on the dial? “Because I wanted to see how loud it was” came the reply. He’s kidding me right? Like, he’s had it for a while now and don’t tell me he hadn’t already tested how wallshattering loud it could be! It would have been the first thing he did when he got it home! And obviously I was out that day.

LAND A Golden Key WHY? Land is crucial as land appreciates and buildings depreciate, you need them both to have a successful investment. You have the land as an appreciating asset for capital growth which provides equity return. The building is the vehicle that pays for the investment, your income streams through 1) the rental income and 2) the Tax depreciation. Therefore a house/land investment is the preferred option by astute investors over apartments. In any 10 year period in the Australian property market House/land has outperformed apartments. Why the land content. So what is the land content? This is the percentage of land and the percentage of building when you look at the purchase price of a property. You want to have a minimum of 35% to 45% land content in the value of your investment. To explain that better, if you had an investment that had 40% land content, for easy maths letʼs just say you paid $100,000 for the house/land the land value would be worth $40,000 which is 40% of the purchase price, does that make sense? When you look at the other options in property the following is an example:High rise apartments have 5% to 8% land content, low rise apartments 15% to 25% land content, town house or duplex 25% to 35% land content, where a typical house that everyone can afford to rent would be 35% to 45% land content. There is no doubt land is a crucial golden key in any property investment. The trouble we have in Australia is the supply and demand issue we have a major shortage of developed land and the Government is slow to approve new developments and we currently have an approx 250,000 house shortfall in Australia tipped to worsen to an approx 500,000 within 5 years. Not great news for the country but great news for property investors. As the market ramps up in key locations good land is hard to find in Australiaʼs hot spots.

Maclaughlin River Grassland field day Normally howling winds and paddock field days aren’t a good mix – except if the purpose of the day is to show how native grassland pastures of the Monaro have adapted to adverse weather conditions such as strong drying winds. The field day, organised by the Maclaughlin River Landcare group held at “Roselea”, Nimmitabel, explored both the diversity of plants in the Natural Temperate Grasslands at the property and how the different plant species function as a vegetation community to protect and support each other. An important feature of the grasslands is how the large Poa tussocks provide protection to the smaller grasses and broadleaf plants (forbs) that grow in the spaces between the Poa tussocks. This diversity of plants is important not only from a conservation viewpoint but also drives the grazing productivity of these pastures, especially in Spring and Summer. District Agronomist, Luke Pope of the Department of Primary Industries, who lead the day said “This pasture is a very stable plant community. There is a good balance with a number of perennial grass species and also legumes and other broad leaf plants” he said. Particpants at the field day discussed how the stability of these native grasslands is threatened by
grazing pressures that can change the species composition of the pasture. Selective grazing by stock of the more palatable species growing between the Poa tussocks can mean the loss of these plants and their replacement by annual grasses. This can also provide an opportunity for invasion by perennial grassy weeds such as Serrated Tussock. The Maclaughlin River Landcare Group has received a grant of $163,000 from the Commonwealth Government Caring for our Country program for the control of Serrated Tussock in the Landcare group area. The project will consist of a coordinated spraying program with local contractors spraying Serrated Tussock in priority areas in addition to the weed works undertaken by the Landcare group members. Additionally, a benchmarking study will be undertaken to study how Serrated Tussock performs under different grazing systems. Chair of the Landcare group, Mr Howard Charles, said “Controlling Serrated Tussock in our grasslands is our priority issue but we know that the spraying program is only one step in our battle against the weed. Our longer term solution comes from grazing management that maintain the stability of our grasslands and give us pastures that are resilient to weed invasion” he said.
District Agronomist Luke Pope supervises members of the Maclaughlin River Landcare group as they test their grassland plant identification skills at the recent Grasslands management field day.

Farmers welcome scientific body Aerial weed spray success The National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) has welcomed the announcement that a scientific expert committee will be established to conduct research into the impacts of mining and coal seam gas extraction on agricultural and environmental resources. NFF President Jock Laurie said that the announcement, made in Federal Parliament, is a positive move for farmers and rural communities who are worried about the impact mining and coal seam gas exploration and development could have on water and other valuable farm input resources. “The establishment of a scientific expert committee to look at the impacts of these developments is a very welcome move and something communities across affected areas have long called for,” Mr Laurie said. “Such a body will ensure informed policy
decisions are made based on scientific evidence. This is something that has been missing in the development of regulation around these industries, and will give communities confidence that decisions are being made on reliable information. “It is essential that the full impacts of any developments are understood before they proceed. Water and arable land are limited, finite resources that are essential for agriculture, rural communities and our future food security – and if any damage is done to these resources, it will be far too late to try and rectify the situation later. “The Government also announced incentives for the States to take the findings of this expert committee into account in developing their own regulation around these industries, which is an important step as the majority of legislation around mining and coal seam gas sits with the States. “The NFF and our members have lobbied for State regulation around mining and coal seam gas to be tightened, rather than another layer of legislation imposed on top by the Federal Government. Today’s announcement is a step in the right direction on this. “We also note that the Government is establishing a high level working group to look at the broader impacts on soil, food production and food security, something we’ve long been lobbying for. We are very pleased to see the Government taking this issue, and our concerns, seriously,” Mr Laurie said.
After the positive response from the autumn aerial spraying, Noxious Weed Management Services co-ordinated another successful aerial spray program. The control program took place in the Anembo, Jerangle and Bredbo areas, for the control of Serrated Pilots Georgia Grant and Richard Clarke Tussock, Scotch and with CMSC Roger Roach.

Cox launches first EP On Thursday November 24, young local Jindabyne musician Brad Cox officially launched his first EP “Dirty Soul” on stage at the Snowy Mountains Cinema. Playing gigs across the Snowy Mountains for the past three years, this 16-year old musician has developed a strong following with his funky, bluesinspired rock sound and great stage presence.

Wise Owl, Lifesaver Lil and Boo the naughty alien visited Cooma on November 3 to present the ‘Kids Alive do the Five’ show to local children. Earlier this month, local children from Cooma North Public School, Cooma North Pre-school and Numeralla Public were fortunate to receive a visit from McDonalds’ ‘Kids Alive do the Five’ water safety show tour. Following the release of the 2011 Royal Lifesaving National Drowning Report which showed there have been 28 drowning deaths among young children under five years of age in the past year, with almost half of these drowning deaths occurring in swimming pools, Olympic Swimming Coach Laurie Lawrence decided that something needed to be done. The tour group consisting of Wise Owl, Lifesaver Lil and Boo the naughty alien, who have been travelling around Northern and Southern NSW and the ACT. “It is incredibly important that children and parents alike are aware of how to enjoy their backyard or community swimming pool in a safe and responsible way,” Laurie Laurence, said. “I would like to thank McDonald’s for their support in helping to remind
Aussie kids and parents to ‘Do the Five’ this summer season. I’d like to think that through our partnership we can make the 40 regional towns we are visiting, fatality free,” he added. McDonald’s is proud of its commitment to support the ‘Kids Alive Do the Five’ program which has been developed to encourage local families to be proactive in learning about water safety, Alicia Edmed, McDonald’s Cooma Licensee, said. “McDonald’s Licensees across NSW and ACT have made it our personal mission to assist in developing an awareness of water safety for both adults and children. We are committed to making the communities in which we operate safer for everybody. “I’m excited to be associated with this important program that helps Cooma local residents become more aware of water safety in a way that is fun and engaging for kids,” Alicia, concluded. By December, the free show will have toured 19 towns in northern NSW and 21 towns in southern NSW and the ACT.

New South Wales Police have taken the unprecedented step of releasing a community service announcement to launch its summer safety and security awareness campaign. As part of NSW Police Force’s Play Safe, Stay Safe initiative, the community are being urged to make good decisions and look after themselves and those they care about. NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione said the summer safety messages are not just aimed at young people – they’re for everyone. “This is not just about over indulging in alcohol, but rather making good decisions to avoid putting yourself, your family or your friends in danger.” “It’s about enjoying yourself without the burden of regret.” “We are coming into the time of the year when people are out and about in increased numbers and are involved in a range of activities. Inevitably we see injury and death because of risk taking and poor decisions.” “Plan ahead, talk to your family and friends about where you are going and what you are doing. Having fun doesn’t mean putting yourself or others in dangerous situations,” Commissioner Scipione said.
In the coming months police will be focusing on formals and schoolies, boat safety and rock fishing, beach safety and security, road safety, shopping security – skimming scams and bag snatches, holiday home security, and hot weather issues such as kids and pets in cars and fire risks. Commissioner Scipione urged radio and television to play the announcements right through the summer months. “While we will have the Community Service Announcements up on Youtube and pushing messages out through social media platforms, we need radio and television playing the announcements wherever they can to remind the public about keeping safe.” “All too often my officers prepare reports for the Coroner about motorists who have died in crashes, people who died through misadventure, or those who have made the wrong decision. “At this time of the year, with the warm weather, we should be enjoying ourselves and experiencing the great state we live in, not enduring heartache and mourning the loss of our family and friends,” Commissioner Scipione said.

Clash of the codes returns All MDCA matches were abandoned on Saturday due to the wet conditions. This Friday night sees the return of the highly entertaining Battle of the Codes. The match begins at 6pm at Rotary Oval, when the two heavyweights of Australian winter sports Rugby League and AFL take on each other in what shapes up to be an exciting contest. With Rugby League having the sports freak Sam Williams in their lineup the “Leagies” will go in as short priced favourites, but don’t rule out the AFL who were very entertaining in their match against eventual winners Soccer last year. Damian Asanovski will be the AFL’s go to man with the ball, Asanovski is in the form of his life with the ball this
year and if conditions suit, Asanovski could lead the AFL to an upset victory. It’s a wonderful way to start the big Cooma race day weekend watching T20 cricket played under lights. So get on down to Rotary with barbecue and bar facilities available at the ground. Come and watch the white ball fly! December 10 - Rugby Union V Soccer December 17- Final.

Cats set direction for 2012 and beyond The Cooma Cats Australian Rules Football Club has re-elected unopposed Dave Paterson as its Club President for Season 2012 in a strong vote of confidence in the successful direction the Cats have been moving in recent years. The Cats held their Annual General Meeting at the Snowy Oval club rooms earlier this month to start the planning for next year. On re-election as president, Dave reaffirmed the Cats’ mission to make AFL available to everyone in the region through a family-focused, community-based sporting club. “Our mission at the Cooma Cats remains to
make AFL football to the region so anyone who wants to be involved in our Australian game in any capacity can have the opportunity to do so,” Dave said. “2011 was one of the club’s most successful in recent memory with a vastly improved onfield performance by our senior side, and continued improvement by our Under 14 juniors. Off-field, the Cats remain financially sound with a dedicated and strong committee ready for the challenges of the year ahead,” he said. However Dave also sounded a note of caution for the coming season. “Like all sporting clubs in the area, we face the constant challenges of
The Cooma Cats – a club for everyone sponsorship and player and volunteer numbers. In 2012 the club will be looking at consolidating the growth achieved in recent years, developing our senior and junior player base, and making sure we continue to provide a great ‘brand’ for the community and potential sponsors to be

gender or background, the chance to do so. “We are also committed to maintaining our reputation as a familyfocused, communitybased club which represents our region well,” he said. Dave also payed tribute to the Club’s loyal sponsors and supporters. “Our sponsors and supporters are a great
group help us bring our great game to the region. We look forward to returning their loyalty through striving to improve the Club even more in 2012,” he said.

Co-operation sees Lake Jindabyne Trail grow People walking the Jindabyne lake foreshore and travelling out of town towards the Jindabyne dam wall may have noticed some new structures appearing over the last week. According to Lake Jindabyne Shared Trail Chairperson, Gordon Jenkinson, these are part of the new Coppertom section of the shared walking and bike trail around Lake Jindabyne, which is in the early stages of construction. Mr Jenkinson said that three structures will be in place by Christmas. There will then be a break in the trail construction until funds promised by State Member John Barilaro arrive in the first half of 2012 and construction is completed.
Members of the Lake Jindabyne Shared Trail Committee have been marking out where the trail will ultimately be although much of it is still dangerous and access is not permitted for the time being. “This new Coppertom section has all the hall marks of the Vision that we have for the trail around the lake” said Mr Jenkinson. “Unbelievable views, easy rolling topography and linking up of our best assets”. This work intentionally coincides with work being done on the Jindabyne dam wall by Snowy Hydro Ltd which will help connect the town with the recently completed Mill Creek section all the way to Tyrolean Village.

Weather sorts out keen golfers Cooma Golf report by Garry Atkinson With the weather winning over last week’s golf competitions, the rain and windy conditions certainly sorted out the keen golfers as all competitions saw ball prizes down to 31 points and 37 points winning major vouchers. While all three grades of the matchplay championships were decided on the weekend not all results are at hand so next week will see a summary of those results. Saturday November 26 saw wet and windy conditions. Winner on Saturday was Brian Searle with 39 points, narrowly beating Rob Brown and Matthew Schouten both also with 39 points. Ball winners went to 35 points and nearest the pins prizes were taken out by Brian Searle on the fourth and Norm Marshall on the 17th. On Sunday November 27 an individual stableford was played with Andrew Barnes really turning in a great round to finish on 37 points in A grade. Peter Smith took out B grade with 34 points on a countback from Denis Minehan. C grade went to the smooth swinging Marion Burke. Ball winners went to 31 points and nearest the pins were taken out by Terry
Johnston on the ninth and Nick Massari on the 17th. Knowing Nick he probably used his putter! On Wednesday November 23 the mens single stableford saw some slightly hotter scores with A grade being taken out by Malcolm Barnes with 37 points. B grade went to Simon Allen with a fine 41 points and C grade went to the regular Lindsay Blewitt with round of the week 42 points. Ball winners went to 36 points and nearest the pin on the 9th was taken out by Hans Jebbink. On the 17th Simon Allen capped off a great day with a fine shot. Next week sees a single stroke event for the December monthly medal on Saturday with single stablefords on both Wednesday and Sunday. Don’t forget to give a hand with the junior competition on Thursday afternoons and thanks to all members for their kind donation of practice balls for the juniors. Shey Wenz is also open for lovely lunches each competition day and most importantly the daylight saving ambrose is held each Wednesday afternoon from around 4:30 onwards. See you on the greens.
Junior golf lessons popular Junior Golf by Garry Atkinson Junior golf numbers continued to swell as word gets around that the golf lessons offered by visiting professional golfer Matt Rainsford are free. With activities to suit all ages up to 18 years of age most juniors are now playing a few holes each week as well as getting the valuable lesson. With several club members assisting, Leading Edge sponsoring the juniors and plenty of skill development activities juniors were the real winners all round. Prizes this week went to James, Tayla, Katey, Jana, Andrew, Sam and Logan who all swung the golf club beautifully, hitting many close shots. Activities for the juniors included putting,
chipping, long hitting, lessons and a game. These varied skill development activities kept male and female juniors busy. The younger golfers rotated through several varied activities while the more experienced also played a few holes. Beginning at 4pm the Thursday afternoons will run until just before Christmas. This is a real opportunity to introduce your son/daughter to the world of golf so don’t miss out. Information regarding the regular junior clinics and competition will be given to each school or you can ring Garry Atkinson on 0410603890. Thanks go to the members who have donated golf balls or have assisted with lessons and also thanks to Leading Edge for their support of junior golf in Cooma.
