Monaro honks for health

Main photo: The crowd rallied on the intersection of Sharp and Bombala Street to protest health cuts at Cooma Hospital.

Middle right: Cooma-Monaro mayor Vin Good and Dr Andrew Egan were united in protesting any cuts.

Bottom right: Cooma’s roundabouts provided an ideal platform to Honk for Health.

More than a 100 people from around the region attended a rally in Centennial Park last Saturday to protest proposed cuts to services at Cooma hospital.

People came from Bombala, the Snowy River Shire as well as Cooma and surrounds to have their say.

The rally was organised by the Health Action Group and addressed by the mayor of Cooma-Monaro Shire, Vin Good and local GP Andrew Egan as well as community members.

Cr Good told The Monaro Post the group wants a moratorium on any cuts proposed by the State Government until such time as the Federal Government makes a decision on what it intends to do about health.

Cr Good said the group also wants truth and honesty from

the State Government about its plans.

He said there is also a concern the figures being used by Greater Southern Area Health Service (GSAHS) to determine staffing levels are not correct.

Dr Egan said that as of Monday he had had further discussion with GSAHS and his concerns and those of the community and the nurses appear to be taken seriously, “As a result, there is a current review of the planned changes”, Dr Egan said.

Another rally protesting health cuts was also held in Moruya on Monday.

Honouring the “Father of the Snowy” One of the many interesting stories to emerge from the recent 60th anniversary of the Snowy Mountains Scheme was that of Olaf Trygve Olsen, who could rightly be called “the father of the scheme”.

Olaf Olsen was born in Norway in 1890 and studied engineering at Bugan, Norway and Hanover, Germany prior to World War One. He was chief engineer for water power projects and schemes in the western mountains of Norway from 1915 to 1924.

In 1925 he migrated to Australia and joined the State Electric Commission of Victoria in 1926 – where he remained until 1950.

In Australia, Mr Olsen was nicknamed “Tiny” because of his size – 190cm tall and about 115kg in weight.

Mr Olsen is credited with working out a plan to divert the waters of the Snowy Mountians to give electric power as well as water for inland irrigation.

His plan was accepted by the government in 1944 and the Snowy Mountains Scheme ( S M A ) came to life

in 1949.

Mr Olsen was head-hunted by Commissioner Sir William Hudson and became the first chief engineer at SMA in 1950.

He retired in 1955 and returned to Norway, but continued to do odd jobs for SMA until 1965, as an adviser to Sir William Hudson and also recruiting and accepting European companies to work for SMA. He died in 1967.

Sir William reputedly referred to Mr Olsen as the main person to make the dream come true and the later Commission, Howard Dann, always referred to Mr Olsen as “the brain” in his speeches about the scheme.

He also called him the “father of the scheme”.

Olaf Olsen will feature in a book to be released next year- “Underet I Snowy Mountains” or “The Wonder of the Snowy Mounatins – how Norwegian know-how helped create the modern Australia”.

The book has been written by Oystein ‘Stan” Molstad Andresen, who is based in New Zealand, and attended the anniversary celebrations for more research on his project.

(Insulation) buyers beware Local insulation company, Comfort Insulation, is warning local residents to beware of being caught out while taking advantage of the Federal Government’s insulation rebate.

Proprietor Tom Black said he has been made aware of some residents taking advantage of an out-of-town company offering insulation and later finding the insulation does not meet the rebate requirements.

Mr Black has urged residents to either shop locally, or at least to check the insulator knows the rules concerning the rebate offer.

Licensed installers are listed on a register with the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts. The register can be

accessed online at www.environment.gov.au/ energyefficiency or by phoning 1800 808 571.

Recent changes to the offer mean a rebate of $1200 in now available, not $1600.

Under the insulation rules, the insulation used in this region must be at least R4 – anything less will not qualify for the rebate.

There are also strict guidelines about how much of the ceiling cavity needs to be insulated.

Mr Black said householders should make themselves aware of these facts before work commences.

Those not happy with the work are advised to contact the Department of Fair Trading.

Bombala hit by break-ins Bombala Shire mayor Bob Stewart has told te NSW Police he wants a better system in place to service his shire.

A number of breakins in Bombala 10days ago resulted in more than 120 people attending a public metings last Tuesday to vent their anger.

Following that meeting, Cr Stewart attended PACT meeting in Queanbeyan on Wednesday, where he raised hs concerns about the level of policing in the region.

Cr Stewart said Bomala, Dalegate and Nimmitabel are treated as one cluster sharing a

small pool of police officers.

He said this pool is soon to be reduced with two officers moving away.

He said the number of break-ins in Bombala this year may be linked to a perceived lack of police presence in the area, Cr Stewart also told the PACT meeting police need to communicate better with the public, especially those who have been victims of breakins.

He said he was hopeful that at least this might be improved.

WORKING BEE – 14 NOVEMBER OLD COOMA COMMON GRASSLAND RESERVE (RADIO HILL) Are you interested in native grasslands? Can you spare a few hours to help in a working bee at Old Cooma Common Grassland Reserve (OCCGR) on Saturday, 14 November?

The reserve is the steep, treeless, 45 hectare basalt rise with the radio towers on top, between Polo Flat industrial area and Cooma township. Cooma’s dominant landmark, it consists mainly of Poa Tussock (Poa sieberiana) and Kangaroo Grass (Themeda australis), but also has good stands of Wallaby Grasses (Danthonia spp.) and Speargrasses (Stipa spp.).

However, for those prepared to look closer, it is a secret refuge for some beautiful and rare wildflowers.

It is one of only a handful of areas where the Monaro Golden Daisy (Rutidosis leiolepis), Hoary Sunray (Leucochrysum albicans var. tricolor) and Australian Anchor Plant (Discaria pubescens) grow together. It is an excellent example of what the natural temperate grasslands of Monaro probably looked like prior to European settlement

power stations in Victoria as well as in Red Energy, its new electricity and gas retail arm.

He said the corporation needs more equity to survive and grow.

OSCAR FISH Continued from last week...These fish put out a huge amount of waste everyday. A strong filtration system is an absolute must, as are regular water changes. Also be careful about what kind of decorations are used in an Oscar's aquarium. These fish are not nimble, so they swim into things. They also like to move things around. Driftwood and smooth rocks won’t scrape Ocsar’s if they bump into them, so there are good options for tank furniture. Though cichlids are typically aggressive and territorial, Oscar fish are usually only aggressive if they are feeling crowded in an aquarium that is too small, or if they are breeding.

Otherwise, this fish is intelligent, rather hardy, and quite a showpiece when it gets big.

Finally, we would liike to thank the orgnaisations who provided generous support for the event, being SMEC, Snowy Hydro, Sandvik and Cooma-Monaro Shire Council.

We encourage any interested locals to visit the Lambie Gorge site and learn about the world-class achievements that occurred in our midst.

Editor, I address this letter to the business and wider community of the Cooma-Monaro district.

My name is Billie Hay, I am a teacher at Monaro High School and I am responsible for organising the annual MHS presentation night this year.

Presentation Night is held at the end of the school year to celebrate outstanding success in academia, sport, citizenship and other extra-curricular activities.

The evening promotes excellence in public education and fosters goodwill between the school and community.

The values taught and encouraged at school help to reinforce positive behaviours. By rewarding outstanding success

and showcasing some of our finest talent, we also hope to inspire others to achieve their own ambitions and dreams.

I am writing this letter to encourage businesses and private citizens to donate prizes to be presented to students at presentation night.

In the past generosity of the local community has helped to make the evening a great success and has very much appreciated by school and wider the community.

Please contact me at the school to discuss your gift. I thank you in advance for your support.

HIGH COUNTRY MARKETS

Will be held this Sunday, 15th November At Centennial Park

The markets are held in Cooma on the 3rd Sunday of the month

these councils for their support and representation here today.

At the recently held AGM which was the 55th annual report of Cooma Bombala Legacy, I was able to report that we have continued to ensure that the Legacy Widows in our area, of which there are 122, received the fullest support in all sections of our responsibilities. We were able to do this through the support of 30 active Legatees and the guidance and wisdom of the seven Legatees who are now on the seniors list.

However, the support to our widows could not have been achieved without he generous support of the community and in particular the community organisations that are represented here today.

The community organisations include: The Cooma Ex-services Club, which not only provides substantial support but also provides the Cooma Bombala Legacy with facilities and administrative support that is invaluable to us and to the Queanbeyan Eden Monaro Club.

The Bombala RSL sub branch has also provided substantial financial support and extended facilities to us on the occasions when our meetings are held at their club.

The Bombala Motor Cycle Club with their annual Poke Run for legacy, ably organised by Legatee Murray Fleming with the support of his wife Sylvia and the Bombala RSL Club.

The Snowy Mountains Country Club which holds it annual Legacy Golf Day in conjunction with the support of the Snowy River RSL Sub Branch, with special

mention to Col McMillan and Ross Thompson for their good work on the day.

I am happy to announce that we have enrolled three new Legatees: Neville Judge; Ollie Harden and Cheryl Meillon.

Regrettably we lost Keith Newham during the year; He was very active in looking after the widows at Sir William Hudson Nursing Home. We also lost Barry McPherson, a longserving Legatee who moved to Sydney.

I am happy to advise that we continue to maintain a strong financial positions and this position has been achieved through the continuous support of our annual badge day and the generous support of our benefactors.

Here we have to give thanks to the work of our treasurer, Legatee Dennis Feaver, who did a sterling job in organising the appeal. Dennis spent many hours on this appeal and I would like to put on record our thanks for his work and dedication to make this appeal the success that it was. More than $15,000 was the results, which was a significant improvement on last year. Thanks again, Dennis.

We pay tribute to the organisers and workers of the annual badge day appeal.

I thank the following helpers for the appeal: Cooma RSL Sub Branch; The National Servicemen’s Association; the Cooma Laurel Club; and for the first time, students from Monaro High School.

We also thank the Defence Call Centre, Snowy Hydro and SMEC.

We thank the badge sellers in the regional towns of Bombala, Adaminaby, Bredbo, Dalgety, Nimmitabel and Jindabyne.

The Laurel Club continues to help our widows keep together and they now have guest speakers to make their meetings more entertaining.

We have been kept informed of their work and progress by liaison pfficer Legatee Dennis Feaver. Thank you Dennis.

During the year we took four widows to the Governor-General’s morning tea and a bus load to the Anzac concert which was as usual, great entertainment.

At our recent AGM, approval was given to hold our meetings every two months, with the next meeting in December.

To the Legatees of Cooma Bombala, I offer my sincerest congratulations for the manner in which you have continued to carry out your duties. In particular, thanks to all the office bearers, without their support my job as chairman would have been so much harder. I would particularly thank Bob Lahy, our new secretary in his first year who has been a great help and has adjusted to the positions with great dedication.

Thanks to our hard-working treasurer Dennis Feaver for his attention to detail and reports, also to my vice chairman Mick Meillon.

During my four year tenure as chairman, I have continued to receive the fullest support from my fellow Legatees, for which I am profoundly grateful. I am confident we have fulfilled, to the best of our abilities, our Legacy commitment.

Country music sensation Adam Harvey is set to perform at the Cooma Ex-Services Club this Friday, November 13, following the release of his new album ‘Both Sides Now’ which debuted at number 19 on the ARIA album chart.

‘Both Sides Now’ features a range of duets, with Harvey being joined by renowned artists such as John Williamson, Kasey Chambers and Troy CassarDaley, along with a host of others.

“I opened my little black book and rang around to all my mates. It started off with my country music friends, then I thought I’d call some of my other mates. There’s a good, wide mix,” Harvey said The album consists of covers of well known songs, with a uniqueness added by the duets, but also an emphasis on keeping the songs as close to the original as possible.

“You have to keep these songs as original as you can.

“I hate it when you get a cover version of a great song and they’ve changed it.”

Harvey is thrilled at having accomplished a

successful album with such renowned artists, and was surprised by the response from some of his fellow musicians.

He gave each of the contributing artists a list of songs that they could choose from and didn’t expect the response from some of them.

“David Campbell wanted to do an old Hank Williams song, and I was surprised he’d even heard of Hank Williams. John Williamson wanted to do King of the Road, an old country American song.”

Harvey is looking forward to performing in Cooma, and will be joined by fellow musician Catherine Britt, in an act that has been described as “two of the biggest and best voices in Australian country music”.

“I’ve done a few shows with Catherine, the show’s pretty polished.

“It will be a great show, we always get a good crowd down there.”

Harvey and Britt are looking forward to interacting with the audience, something Harvey thinks is very important, and will be available to sign albums on the night.

Enrolments now open for 2010 Snowy Mountains Christian School, which was established by the Cooma Baptist Church in 1997, is now welcoming enrolments for 2010 in years K-10.

Snowy Mountains Christian School offers quality Christian education in an inclusive, nurturing and community-oriented environment.

Principal Michael Nightingale said the school had enjoyed steady growth during the past 12 years—with enrolments now at 120—and during 2010 would be more focused on consolidation.

He said places were available in each class, from Kindergarten to Year 10.

Mr Nightingale said there was a focus at Snowy Mountains Christian School on educating and nurturing each student’s spiritual, emotional, physical and academic wellbeing—ensuring a well-rounded and formative education. “We are an inter-denominational school, which means we welcome children of all Christian faiths,� he said. “In fact, many of our students come from families without a strong religious background at all, they just believe their children will benefit from learning in an environment where Christian teaching and values are a part of everything we do.’ “We provide our students with a supportive, respectful and caring environment in which to grown and learn and we have small class sizes, which means we are able to provide our students with a more tailored, individual education.�

Snowy Mountains Christian School introduced

an accelerated numeracy curriculum in 2002 and uses the phonetics-based Spalding Method in its primary school literacy curriculum—both of which have consistently helped students achieve above average results in national benchmarking exams. “But for us, academic excellence is not the only goal,� Mr Nightingale said. “We want our children to enjoy a well-rounded education that will serve them well later in life and help them make a positive contribution to this world God created for us.�

Mr Nightingale said Snowy Mountains Christian School was proud of its curriculum and of its students’ achievements. “For a small school, we are able to offer our students an excellent range of academic and creative subjects—we have a particularly excellent music program,� he said.

Extra-curricular activities include athletics, swimming, netball, soccer, and other sports, individual instrument tuition, concert band, singing group, community service, public speaking, camping experiences, city excursions, a lunchtime youth group and exchange visits with other schools. “Our focus on the spiritual and emotional growth of students has produced students with character of substance, who display a sense of purpose in their lives,� he said.

For details about enrolment contact Snowy Mountains Christian School on 6452 4333.

News from Delegate Delegate diary returned The old leather bound diary, which was first penned in 1890 by the Headmaster of Delegate Public School, George Hammond, has now been returned to Delegate where it will be kept in a glass case in the History Room at the School of Arts.

The diary was handed over by Chris Parkes of Wollongong, on Tuesday October 20, during a small ceremony held in the School of Arts.

Mr Parkes has had the diary in his keeping for 30 years, having found it on a heap of rubbish while visiting a house in North Sydney, which was part of the Estate of the original diarist’s son Frank Hammond.

George Hammond moved to Delegate with his wife and baby daughter and sister Eve in late 1889, and the diary commenced New Year 1890.

It covers the years spent in Delegate up until 1899, when the Hammond family moved to Woodstock, near Cowra. The diary then follows the life of the family until 1912.

The handover ceremony was attended by members of the public, and pupils and teachers from the Delegate public School, who were all keen to inspect the diary, and also a photo of the Hammond family loaned by Stephanie Turner a

The opening for the latest exhibition at the Raglan Gallery, Clay Connections, was held on October 31, with a good crowd in attendance to witness the opening and view the works created by the artists on hand.

The exhibition displays the work of ceramic artists Margaret Brown,

Prue Baker, Petra Murphy, Amanda Parker, Joanne Searle and Dianne Sutton, six friends who graduated from in ceramics at the ANU School of Art, Canberra. Since graduating, they have maintained their friendship and their strong connection with clay.

This exhibition shows the diversity and creativity of each artist.

Home-grown story book set to make its debut Cooma waste collector Trevor Nichols and his wife Lynsey will launch their new children’s book – Gilbert the Garbage Truck – as part of National Recycling Week this week.

Written by Trevor and illustrated by wife Lynsey, Gilbert the Garbage Truck is the story of a worn out old garbage truck who’d really like people to give him a rest, and recycle their waste instead.

The selfpublished book is Trevor’s literary debut and is fun, colourful and engaging.

He hopes children will identify with Gilbert and his environmental message. ‘After 22 years of collecting waste I thought it was important that children have the opportunity to learn at an early age how important it is to sort the rubbish from the recyclables,� said Trevor. ‘If we don’t, we will continue to accumulate landfill and ruin or

precious environment.’ Trevor has dedicated his book to his children Harry, Molly and Joe. Gilbert the Garbage Truck will be launched next week to local schools, pre-schools and child care centres around the Monaro as part of Recycling Week. ‘We plan to talk to the children about how they can reduce, reuse and recycle their waste and of course, there will be a book reading,’ said Lynsey.

Gilbert the Garbage Truck is now available to purchase for $9.95 and to celebrate its launch Trevor and Lynsey will be donating $1 from each book sold through schools to the schools’ own recycling initiatives.

Gilbert the Garbage Truck is available for purchase at local schools or direct through Lynsey and Trevor, contact them on 6452 3078.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst

Many good inventions end up having a downside don’t they, but often it’s the very thing that makes them so good that can end up being not so good after all.

Like Superglue! This amazing bonding agent will stick anything to anything very permanently which is great. The downside is that it will stick anything to anything very permanently.

I think this product would have to be one of the best examples of the dual standard thing because, while it’s a popular item owing to the fact it works so well, it’s the fact that it works so well that doesn’t bode well at all for those who fail to appreciate just how well it really does work!

Confused? Okay, think of the person carefully gluing Part A to Part B who fails to register the small flow of excess glue that’s seeped from the join because they’ve squeezed out more than they actually need for the job at hand and inadvertently end up as Part C. Or the gung-ho guy who, while assembling his new DIY coffee table, not only did the Part C thing but followed up with Parts D

and E when he tried to extricate himself at point C. Then he knelt on the open tube he’d left lying on the rug...

If anything, the message here is to exercise diligence when using this product which means it’s not advisable to leave the tube with the pinhole punched into it (because the lid was stuck tight) leaking its contents onto the cover of one of the Sunday magazines.

It also means that you should have been a lot more careful (are you hearing me Keith!) and not left it on the lounge where Resident Puss could accidently step in it as she launched into one of her regular trips from armrest to armrest! It would have saved her the trauma and me the trial of having to catch and subdue a cat performing aerial feats at great speed from one end of the house to the other with a partial magazine cover flapping crazily from one hind foot!

It got sorted though, I’m happy to report and with a lot less drama than that of the gung-ho guy who had become an unhappy fixture in his own lounge room. Fortunately he had a wife who showed great restraint, could drive and had a car big enough to transport him and all his attachments to the local Casualty ward where they spent a very interesting afternoon.

So, got it now? Good.

Builders warn on fall-out from latest rate rise Statement by Executive Director of the MBA-ACT, John Miller Canberra’s peak building and construction industry organisation, Master Builders ACT has expressed regret at the Reserve Bank’s decision to lift interest rates by 0.25 per cent.

The executive director of the MBA-ACT, John Miller said the decision created some real risks for the Australian building and construction industry and assumed too much about the strength of the global economy.

“What needs to be remembered is that the positive state of the Australian economy and, indeed, the strengthening of the US economy is owed to stimulus,” Mr Miller said. “That stimulus is now tapering off.”

“While it might have been argued that the Reserve Bank had some justification for ‘dabbing the brakes’ with its October interest rate rise, this further tightening in monetary policy carries considerable risk,” he said.

“The home building industry traditionally enters a the monaro’s leading property guide slow-down through the Christmas-New Year period and then requires considerable impetus to regain momentum into a new calendar year,” he said. “This interest rate rise can only act as an impediment.”

Mr Miller said the impact of the further interest rate rise needed to be not only weighed with the phasing out of Government stimulus but the pulling back of the First Home Owners Grant Scheme to more normal levels.

“An interest rate rise on its own is problematic, taken together with these other factors it could prove highly damaging to our industry,” he said.

Mr Miller said that it was in these circumstances the MBA-ACT would be urging interest rate stability through December and well into the New Year.

Indoor Sports Centre

Mr Miller said that he was particularly concerned about the impact of the further interest rate rise on the Canberra home building industry moving into 2010.

Adina Working Dogs at Snowy River Festival tops at

Monaro Utility Dog Club will present and hold a working sheep dog sale by Auction at the Snowy River Festival, Dalgety, Saturday November 14.

A demonstration area has been set aside for the handlers to display their working dogs ability. Each handler and their dog will be expected to carry out disciplines of mustering sheep off the arena then participating in working their sheep through a normal sheep yard layout. This exercise will give prospective buyers an opportunity to assess each dog on their merits.

After the demonstration the dogs will be displayed for inspection and discussion regarding breeding and training details.

Noted breeders and working dog trainers Alan Rutter, Tony Elliott and Peter Darmody along with others, have offered fully trained and well started young dogs for Auction sale.

Eighteen entries from fully trained to younger well started dogs have been catalogued for this sale.

Of note, six well described older more experienced dogs have been offered for sale.

Bidding number system will apply, and Registration

by Drivers’ Licence Identification will be required prior to Auction commencement.

Snowy River Festival programme timetable has the Working Dog demonstration starting at 2pm sharp, and following this the auction will commence at 4pm.

Club members will organise and carry out the ground preparation and give assistance with the physical Auction.

$4000 Adina Merino Stud kicked off the MMA ram sale week on Monday, selling their top-placed ram to Brian and Kylie Clifford for $4000.

In an offering of 34 lots, eight rams sold to a top pf $4000 to average $850 and gross $3800.

Six lots were passed in.

Stud principal Ray Barron said he was pleased with the result.

The sale was conducted by Landmark.

Pictured right, Brian and Kylie Clifford with the top-priced Adina ram.

Top: the rams in their pens.

What a difference some rain makes Some very welcome rain has made a great difference across the Monaro in September and October.

Finally producers can stop hand-feeding animals. Conditions still vary a lot, with some areas still only having just short green feed, to others where better rain and low stock numbers have resulted in a great surge of spring growth.

Enough feed on a couple of properties at least, to kill cattle who struggled with drought conditions for so long.

Bloat is suspected to have been the problem, as in both cases the paddocks had quite a large clover content.

Clover in its early lush growth is rapidly digested, high in protein and tends to produce a gas-filled foam in the rumen, instead of just a pocket of gas at the top.

Ruminants produce gas as their feed breaks down and they normally belch this out. But if it is a foam, they can’t let the gas

out and the rumen gets tighter and tighter.

The upper left flank becomes distended and the animal becomes uncomfortable.

The cattle are seen to kick at their sides.

The problem is that the tight rumen also puts pressure on the diaphragm and the lungs and cattle struggle to breathe. Often cattle are found dead and may start dying within an hour of gaining access to a bloat susceptible pasture.

Animals that die from the clostridial disease enterotoxaemia or pulpy kidney also die quickly and their carcases bloat after death. It is very difficult to tell deaths from pulpy kidney and bloat apart when all the owner finds is a smelly bloated carcase.

Spring, because of the rapid growth of feed, is the highest risk time for enterotoxaemia and animals are really only protected if they have had a booster dose in the last three months. An extra dose of vaccine for animals that haven’t had a

booster since winter is good insurance at very little cost.

Pastures with more than 30 percent clover, can create a risk of bloat. This year seems to have suited clover growth and cattle will selectively graze it when they can. Watch cattle carefully when on highrisk paddocks. You can reduce the risk with treatments such as anti-bloat capsules, bloat blocks and oils.

Capsules offer the most reliable protection, at a cost of about $15 a head and they must be given at least a week before cattle move on to the risky paddock.

Even then, you need to watch stock closely as all these treatments reduce but do not remove the risk.

If you have any stock losses or other problems with livestock, please contact your District Veterinarian Chris Haylock in Bombala on 0429 946 441 or Brian Hodge in Cooma on 64521122.

This National Recycling Week, turn your trash into treasure by exchanging items you no longer need or want in the Big Aussie Swap!

Cooma Monaro Shire Council is encouraging individuals to attend the Big Aussie Swap party, at the Resource Recovery Centre (Landfill) to coincide with National Recycling Week and to be held at the facilities SCRAPMART on Sunday the 15th of November 2009.

The SCRAPMART swap party will be held on Sunday the 15th of November between 11am and 2pm. A gold coin sausage sizzle will be held on the day with proceeds being donated to the community gardens project, so bring along all your unwanted items and enjoy the fun of the day.

What’s a swap party and how does it work?

A swap party involves the exchange of any goods of value. Each person is given one token of value ($2, $5, $10, $20, $50) for each item he or she brings to the party; the token can then be exchanged as payment for an item of the same value. Swapping, rather than buying new items, has a positive environmental outcome as it reduces demand for new materials in production, packaging, display and transport. For example, swapping a single cotton dress saves approximately 22,000 litres of water.

Cigarette Butt litter campaign launch

DON’T BE A TOSSER! The South East Resource Recovery Organisation of Councils (SERRROC), in conjunction with the Cooma Monaro Shire Council, is launching an education campaign urging people to take responsibility for their cigarette butts. Coming into summer months, such a campaign is potentially life saving.

DATE: Sunday November 15th TIME: 9:00am - 12 noon LOCATION: Cooma Rotary Markets - in Centennial Park The slogan for the campaign is “Don’t be a Tosser”.

There will be a display of large mock cigarette butts on the lawns of the park to make the point that littering has an impact upon the environment. A range of promotion material will be on display. Project Coordinator, Jeff Tate said: “SERRROC and the Cooma Monaro Shire Council are urging people to take responsibility for their cigarette butts. The campaign aims to clean up the council area, educate the community about the effects of littering, and make us all stop and think about how our own habits impact on our environment.”

For further information contact: Jeff Tate - Resource and Waste Advisory Officer 6455 1922

TO TELL YOUR C COMMUNITY OMMUN NITY WHAT RESOURCE AND WASTE MEANS TO YOU AND HAVE THE CHANCE TO WIN $300 FOR YOUR SCHOOL. Cooma Monaro Shire Council require four signs, two for the entrance and two for the exit of the Resource Recovery Centre at Cooma (landfill).

If your school is in the Cooma Monaro Shire boundaries take the opportunity to have your schools art work permanently displayed and win $300 to spend on a sustainable project at your school.

Your class/group can either your computer generate your design in jpeg format and email it direct to: jeff.tate@cooma.nsw.gov.au or draw/ paint your deign onto an A3 piece of paper and have your entries into the Council office: 81 Commissioner Street Cooma

by Friday the 13th of November for exhibition and judging at the Cooma Monaro Library for week commencing g the 16th of November.

GOOD LUCK FOR ALL THE YOUNG BUDDING ARTISTS WITH IN OUR SHIRE. BACKGROUND ON THE PROJECT SERRROC member Councils identified a need for an education resource kit to help them better highlight effective waste stream management in schools and local communities. Such a kit was envisaged as providing schools with materials which are readily accessed, have very practical activities for students to do and is linked to the existing waste stream policy and infrastructure of Council. In the process of developing this tool, it became obvious that a range of NSW Government announcements are in the pipe line with an impact upon the wider SERRROC education goal. Furthermore the issue of waste management is a sub set, albeit a very important one, of the wider issue of sustainability.

NSW DET policy requires that public schools develop a School Environmental Management Plan (SEMP) to address sustainability issues and education in the school.

Schools are required to include sustainability as a subject in their curricula and teaching materials are available to assist. In light of theses circumstances, SERRROC, DECCW and DET determined that an effective way forward to achieve the desired outcomes for all potential stakeholders is as follows: · Scope the existing relevant practices of local schools via video conferences in identified LGA’s - a maximum of six such conferences - where interested school representatives (a max of 10 in envisaged) are invited to participate and speak as to their interest, their activity and identified needs. · Provide an opportunity to all schools to make comments via an electronic survey. · Identify in such conferences what Councils are able to do in support of schools in their Council areas regarding waste management. · Highlights any gaps in the overarching education which need to be addressed. · Identify what materials and support is most useful to address theses gaps.

Participation in a video conference will be by way of expression of interest in the project by schools. For each LGA it is proposed schools will be alerted to the project and invited to attend. A maximum of 8 - 10 school representatives is suggested for each Video Conference. The event will be facilitated by DET representatives.

Participants will be asked to comment upon the following: · Is your school doing anything specifically about waste stream management either informally or formally as part of the curriculum. · Please briefly describe what is entailed in the activities that the school undertakes. · In terms of further support for doing things better or expanding the activity, what support would be most useful.

Following the Video Conference, it is proposed that a one-day forum be held in Queanbeyan where interested representatives from schools, Councils and Departments would develop the strategy and an implementation plan. Once this strategy is developed, it will be implemented.

Wednesday November 11, 2009

Claire’s almanac for November With Claire Caldwell of Cooma Gas & Garden Supplies Spring 2009 is just about over with the arrival of November. This spring season has been quite a good one in our gardens in so far as we haven’t had to see the damage caused by heavy late frosts and our plants have been able to reward us with their full potential with magnificent floral displays and healthy growth.

The regular showers of rain through October have also given a lovely green glow to the surrounding landscape but as we know this is only “skin” deep and we need loads more to see us through the hot summer months ahead.

Some plants that have been spectacular this spring so far include Wisteria, Rhododendrons, Crabapples, Camellia japonicas, Daphne, Flowering Cherries, Clematis. Still to put on a beautiful show are the first rose flowers, Iris, Hawthorns, Bottlebrush, Grevillea, Lavender, Honeysuckle and many others from annuals to perennials. As always there are plenty of ongoing activities to keep all gardeners occupied during the month.

Vegetable Garden Hopefully we won’t experience any late frosts that will hamper the planting out of the frost tender vegetables.

Tomatoes, Zucchini, Pumpkin, Capsicum, Chilli come into this category. Best idea is to keep an eye on weather forecasts. The vegetable garden should be in full swing by now with most seeds germinating, as the soil should be a little warmer which aids in the germination process. We are experiencing the result of the “grow your own vegetables phenomenon” as vegetable seeds are becoming harder to get. So if your favourite variety is not in stock this may be the reason.

Ornamental Garden Plenty of plants are ready to flower in the ornamental garden. Perennials

like aquilegia, peaony roses, iris, penstemons, diascia, lavender and cat mint.

Groundcovers including Snow in Summer (cerastium tomentosum), Thyme, Helianthemum (Sun Roses), Veronica “Oxford Blue”.

Shrubs – Deutzia, Viburnum opulus (Snowball Tree), Lilac, Bottlebrush, Grevillea, Rhododendrons, Roses and Azaleas.

Annuals – Petunias, Dianthus, Phlox, Lobelia.

Fruit Trees We may be on the verge of a good fruit season as we have not as yet experienced any heavy late frosts. Keep your fruit trees well watered and fertilised to maximise the quality of the fruit at harvest time.

Pest and disease control are also important factors when caring for fruit trees. If your peach and nectarine trees are showing signs of curly leaf then it is much too late to spray with copper spray. Copper sprays need to be applied in spring prior to bud burst and then again in autumn after leaf fall for the best results. The best thing you can do for these plants is to make sure that they are not lacking for moisture or nutrients, regular applications of Seasol can help.

The green peach aphid can also be a problem making new growth on many trees curl up and shrivel. Eventually, if not controlled, the tip of the stem can even die back. Aphids like these congregate on the undersides of the leaves and suck the sap from the new growth. They can also transmit unwanted and potentially damaging virus diseases between plants. These aphids can also travel to many other plants in the garden and continue to cause problems.

Apples can come under attack from codling moth and woolly aphids. Codling moth larvae burrow into the your apples and feed inside before emerging. The only spray available registered for use is the new formula Lebaycid.

Carbaryl is no longer recommended for use on food crops so cannot be used to control codling moth. Good cultural practices may reduce the

amount of damage – remove any fallen fruit and any obviously damaged fruit and destroy (don’t put into the compost) – place cardboard or hessian banding around trunks. Try the moth traps and lures and spray at regular intervals with an oil spray to coat the fruit. This may deter some moths and larvae. Maybe we should live with a couple of grubs and enjoy some chemical free fruit.

Woolly aphids cover themselves with a cotton wool like coating and will be found in bark crevices in the branches, trunk and stems of apples, pears and crabapples. They can be very hard to eradicate – a systemic spray will need to be used. If left untreated the tree will develop lumpy galls along branches and trunks.

Weeds. The good old weeds will be going ahead in leaps and bounds with the warmer weather and the bit of moisture. It is important to get control of weeds before they go to seed or the problem will be ongoing. Hand removal in garden beds is the best way of control.

Herbicides such as glyphosate can be used in situations where complete control is necessary and there are no garden plants or lawn involved.

In the lawn, selective herbicides such as broad leaf poisons can be used, bearing in mind that if you have clover in the lawn this will also be affected. Weeds can harbour insects – including aphids, which will migrate to other plants and cause spread of disease.

Roses. Roses should be just about to begin their first flush of flowers for the season giving your garden a wonderful burst of perfume, colour and fragrance. Your home will also benefit from these blooms in a vase. Keep checking your plants as aphids love roses, blackspot and powdery mildew will also become prevalent if left unchecked. There are some different sprays available such as Rose Shield and Rose Spray that will control all these problems. Also available is Eco-Rose for blackspot and powdery mildew

and Eco-oil for pests. This is the eco friendly control.

Fertilising. Feed all your garden plants in the next month paying particular attention to fast growing vegetables and annuals. Lawns will benefit from a feed also. A good general purpose food for all the garden that has all the goodies in it, including blood and bone, potash, fish emulsion, seaweed, zeolite, rock phosphate and worm castings, is Organic Advance Plus.

Pruning. There is always some pruning that needs to be done including trimming of spring flowering shrubs when they have finished their flowering. Dead head spring flowering bulbs and perennials. Prune wisteria to keep it under control.

Planting. Start planning for a spectacular flower display for Christmas by beginning to plant now with annuals, perennials etc. Plant out fresh herbs into pots and have them close to your kitchen area for easy harvesting to add flavour and zing to your cooking. Maybe plant up some herb pots to give for Christmas gifts.

Layby. Talking of the festive season, it is not too early to think about laybying goods now in time for pick up for Christmas.

Enjoy this very good spring season and here’s hoping for much more of that beautiful wet stuff.

This process is being implemented in two phases, with phase one (involving capture of vapour from road tankers when they fill large underground petrol tanks) already underway in Sydney. This process is currently under consideration for areas adjoining Sydney as well.

Phase two, which would capture petrol vapours as they are released from car petrol tanks during filling, is being considered for implementation in the near future.

“Ozone at ground level is a health hazard and something that needs to be rectified and the two phase approach being proposed through this legislation will directly address this issue and improve future air quality,” Mr Mann said.

Under 14 Rep cricket Under 14 Monaro rep side played a great game against Eurobodalla at Batemans Bay on Sunday, in steamy conditions.

Monaro bowled the coast side out for 134 with Luke Johnson being the main destroyer with four wickets in his first four over spell.

Jacob Moon then decided to bowl at the stumps in his second spell and with two wickets in two balls found himself on a hat-trick but was denied the third wicket.

All Monaro bowlers tried hard in conditions that had the ball swinging and control was hard to maintain.

The fielding and catching was first class and some great catches were taken by Michael Bowman and Joel Smith. Monaro started the run chase but lost two quick wickets then Matt Moxon and Joel Smith

Cryptic

developed a great partnership but when Smith went for 10 the remaining Monaro batsmen found it hard to establish an innings.

Only Nick Kieghley (15) managed runs, Matt Moxon was caught out for 52 in a top patient innings but unfortunately Monaro were all out for 125, nine runs short.

The Man of the Match award was shared between Luke Johnson/ Matt Moxon, Fielding awards. 3 points Nick Keighley, 2 points Zane Weston, 1 point Luke Bracher.

This was a great team effort and the boys are really starting to improve their games.

A great game of cricket by Monaro, their sportsmanship was first class and their next game is in two weeks time in Cooma.

Both to be held in early part of the New Year, more information as it comes to hand.

Surf to Turf rally For the many 4WD enthusiasts who have never put their vehicle to the test or realised its full potential, the Surf to Turf Variety 4WD Experience is beckoning.

This unique holiday provides the opportunity to find out what your 4WD was designed to do, while turning your off-road fantasies into realities. The Surf to Turf is the brainchild of Variety, the Children’s Charity, to create a real adventure for like minded 4WD owners with the feel good benefit of raising much needed funds for kids in need.

Now in its fourth year, the Variety 4WD Experience is the ultimate 4WD holiday promising a rough country adventure from the comfort of your car complete with trails and creek crossings, fabulous scenery, exceptional food and wine, resort style accommodation and a unique opportunity to form new found friendships.

Variety’s Motoring Events Manager, Stuart Telfer says, “The Variety 4WD Experience is a perfect holiday for couples as they offer a perfect balance of real life adventure with resort style accommodation and fine dining so participants don’t have to rough it. Plus the time on the road together gives couples a real chance to re-connect, away from the

stresses of their busy lives.”

The six day 1,253 kilometre adventure provides 4WD drivers a chance to get off the bitumen and onto bush tracks, sand dunes, fire trails and country dirt roads while enjoying the contrast that this stunning country provides from craggy mountain tracks to majestic ocean views, with overnight stays in Narooma, Thredbo, Omeo, Mount Beauty, Cooma and Canberra.

Highlights include real life Man from Snowy River country and Horseman’s Heritage experiences.

The group will begin with a breakfast at Narooma Surf Club, and finish at the Canberra Turf Club, hence the ‘Surf to Turf’ aspect of the trip. The group will stay in Cooma on November 13, after experiencing some adventures on the Alpine Tracks in Victoria and NSW. This is the second time that Variety, The Children’s Charity have been through Cooma, and all the participants are looking forward to their adventure.

“We have 30 people traveling with us, new and old. They’re as excited as we are.

“This is our second time in Cooma, it’s a great place to come,” Stuart said.

Jindabyne leads bowls challenge

Gwen Caldwell, Gayle Firzgerald and Rae Blyton with Molly Siddle.

Snowy Mountains District Bowls The last district event for this year was played in Nimmitabel on Thursday.

The weather was very pleasant, not at all like the forecast.

This was the first event on the green since the winter, it was inclined to be slow, but we all had the same conditions. It will improve with use.

The friendship during the game was just as warm as ever which counts along with the game.

There were some very close games but there had to be a winner.

This time it was the team of Lyn McMahon, Aylene Madden and Chris Schroeder from Adaminaby. Second

Margarita Zasso, Lorraine West and Sue Sellars from Cooma, Third was Gwen Caldwell, Gayle Firzgerald and Rae Blyton from Nimmitabel on a count back from Bridget Corby, Sandy Owen and Mary Obermaier from Coolamatong.

Well played ladies. Del Turner, head of match, said it was very pleasing to note that all teams reached double figures. Well done.

The Christmas hamper was won

by Lyn McMahon and the “red Perfume” was won by Bridget Corby.

Jindabyne Bowling Club has taken the lead in the Monaro Clubs Challenge bowling competition following the second round played at the Cooma Bowling Club on Saturday.

The second round of the Challenge was the first part of a busy weekend of district bowls with twenty two first and second round matches in the mixed pairs played on Sunday.

Jindabyne moved to the top of the table following a good win over Coolamatong. In the other clash Adaminaby came out on top after another tight battle with Cooma.

Jindabyne won two of the three matches against Coolamatong. In both the fours and triples Jindabyne won 2 sets to nil while Coolamatong won the pairs in a tie breaker. In the triples John Moberget, Dell Turner and David Turner won the first set over Jim Hynde, Helen Peuker and Tony Butler 9 – 4. The Coolamatong trio battle hard in the second set but, despite picking up five shots on the seventh end, went down 10 -8.

Both sets in the fours were tight. Craig Kendall, Dave Hall, Brendan Skelly and Vic Weston were able to give Jindabyne the advantage over P Janieson, Keith Sach, Kath Sach and Geoff Lawler 9 -5, 9- 6.

The pairs clash was a real contrast. Phil Jefferson and Chris Demczuk won the first set 13 - 3 for Jindabyne before Annabel Gammon and Ron Gammon fought back to win the second set 12 – 3. The tie breaker followed the same pattern.

Coolamatong won the first end by four shots before Jindabyne replied with their own four shots on the second. On the deciding end Coolamatong was able to grab a one shot win.

Jindabyne picked up nine points from the clash while Coolamatong scored three.

Clashes between Cooma and Adaminaby are always tight and this was no different. All three games went to tie breakers with Adaminaby winning two to win the tie 7 – 5.

In the pairs John Ruzic and Peter Schroeder won the first set 8 – 6 over Margherita Zasso and John Schoon. The Cooma pair took the second set 117 and when they picked up six shots on the first

end of the tie breaker they looked likely winners.

However, Ruzic and Schroeder recovered well to score a 5 and a 3 to win the tie breaker 8 – 6!

The triples game was also tight. Chris Gales, David Russell and Graham Clarke won the first set 11 – 9 for Adaminaby before Jim Fletcher, Paul Schulz and Ross Russell took the second set 10 -6. Four shots on the second end of the tie breaker proved crucial for the Cooma side who ran out 5 – 1 winners.

The fours had two contrasting sets. Adaminaby’s Dean Pinner, Clarrie Cameron, Lyn McMahon and Terry George held on to take the first set 9 -7. The second set was all Cooma as Ray Downey, Neil McGregor, Terry Croker and Peter Caldwell scored an incredible 22 – 5 win. The Adaminaby team steadied for the tie breaker to win the first two ends and claim a 5 – 1 victory.

After the first two rounds the point score in the Challenge is Jindabyne 15, Adaminaby 13, Nimmitabel 8, Coolamatong 7 and Cooma 5.

Next week the Challenge moves to Nimmitabel where the home team takes on Cooma and Adaminaby play Coolamatong. Jindabyne have the bye. The Cooma side for the clash is: N McGregor, M Storta; C Wallace, R Downey, J Fletcher; G Venables, I Mondello, K Weston and J Schoon.

Local bowling action was restricted with the hosting of the Challenge on Saturday and the involvement of fourteen Cooma sides in the mixed pairs on Sunday. However, 15 players took the chance to have a start in the second series of the Fab five social competition.

Three games were played with all having very close finishes – the margin in two games was two shots and in the third three shots. The winners were Nelson Wallace, John Vincent and Jack Sajina; Richard Nichols and Peter Marsicano and Keith Goodwin, Col Cottam and Geoff Venables.

Unfortunately, the presentation night planned for Saturday November 14 has had to be cancelled due to the lack of numbers.

2009 Motorfest a beauty!

More than 360 vehicles, bikes, engines, trucks hot rods - of all ages, converged on Cooma Showground on Saturday for the biennial Motorfest.

As well as the motorfest entries, the showground was also a checkpoint for 3232 motorcycles, as part of the annual Snowy Ride to raise funds for cancer research through the Steven Walter Fund.

The motorfest is organised by the Cooma Monaro Historic Auotmobile Club, with

33

proceeds benefitting the Monaro Committee for Cancer Research.

This year, the event also had a Mens Health Pitstop, just in case anyone attending needed a tune-up.

A special competition held instead of a raffle netted a $1000 fuel card for Lorna and Jerry Reid of Berridale. The overall vote from the crowd however, was that this was another outstanding success for the club.

Cannons plan return to Cooma From P36....

Local basketball identity Betty Longhurst is excited about the prospect of having the Cannons involved with Cooma basketball again.

“We used to take kids down to the games and they’d help promote the game. We’re really looking forward to it,” She said.

Before a match can go ahead, there are several upgrades that will be

required for the stadium.

The installation of 24-second shot clocks is essential, and the Cannons are also seeking perspex backboards, safety padding on the back walls and a possible improved scoreboard, and the Cannons are confident this will be able to go ahead.

“Cooma and the Cannons are committed do doing it,” Mr Ryan said.

Jindabyne leads bowls challenge Jindabyne Bowling Club has taken the lead in the Monaro Clubs Challenge bowling competition following the second round played at the Cooma Bowling Club on Saturday.

The second round of the Challenge was the first part of a busy weekend of district bowls with twenty two first and second round matches in the mixed pairs played on Sunday.

Jindabyne moved to the top of the table following a good win over Coolamatong. In the other clash Adaminaby came out on top after another tight battle with Cooma.

Jindabyne won two of the three matches against Coolamatong. In both the fours and triples Jindabyne won 2 sets to nil while Coolamatong won the pairs in a tie breaker.

In the triples John Moberget, Dell Turner and David Turner won the first set over Jim Hynde, Helen Peuker and Tony Butler 9 – 4. The Coolamatong trio battle hard in the second set but, despite picking up five shots on the seventh end, went down 10 -8.

Both sets in the fours were tight. Craig Kendall, Dave Hall, Brendan Skelly and Vic Weston were able to give Jindabyne the advantage over P Janieson, Keith Sach, Kath Sach and Geoff Lawler 9 -5, 9- 6.

The pairs clash was a real contrast. Phil Jefferson and Chris Demczuk won the first set 13 - 3 for Jindabyne before Annabel Gammon and Ron Gammon fought back to win the second set 12 – 3. The tie breaker followed the same pattern. Coolamatong won the first end by four shots before Jindabyne replied with their own four shots on the second. On the deciding end Coolamatong was able to grab a one shot win.

Jindabyne picked up nine points from the clash while Coolamatong scored three.

Clashes between Cooma and Adaminaby are always tight and this was no different.

All three games went to tie breakers with Adaminaby winning two to win the tie 7 – 5.

In the pairs John Ruzic and Peter Schroeder won the first set 8 – 6 over Margherita Zasso and John Schoon. The Cooma pair took the second set 11- 7 and when they picked up six shots on the first end of the tie breaker they looked likely winners. However, Ruzic and Schroeder

recovered well to score a 5 and a 3 to win the tie breaker 8 – 6!

The triples game was also tight. Chris Gales, David Russell and Graham Clarke won the first set 11 – 9 for Adaminaby before Jim Fletcher, Paul Schulz and Ross Russell took the second set 10 -6. Four shots on the second end of the tie breaker proved crucial for the Cooma side who ran out 5 – 1 winners.

The fours had two contrasting sets.

Adaminaby’s Dean Pinner, Clarrie Cameron, Lyn McMahon and Terry George held on to take the first set 9 -7. The second set was all Cooma as Ray Downey, Neil McGregor, Terry Croker and Peter Caldwell scored an incredible 22 – 5 win. The Adaminaby team steadied for the tie breaker to win the first two ends and claim a 5 – 1 victory.

After the first two rounds the point score in the Challenge is Jindabyne 15, Adaminaby 13, Nimmitabel 8, Coolamatong 7 and Cooma 5.

Next week the Challenge moves to Nimmitabel where the home team takes on Cooma and Adaminaby play Coolamatong.

Jindabyne have the bye. The Cooma side for the clash is: N McGregor, M Storta; C Wallace, R Downey, J Fletcher; G Venables, I Mondello, K Weston and J Schoon.

Local bowling action was restricted with the hosting of the Challenge on Saturday and the involvement of fourteen Cooma sides in the mixed pairs on Sunday.

However, 15 players took the chance to have a start in the second series of the Fab five social competition.

Three games were played with all having very close finishes – the margin in two games was two shots and in the third three shots. The winners were Nelson Wallace, John Vincent and Jack Sajina; Richard Nichols and Peter Marsicano and Keith Goodwin, Col Cottam and Geoff Venables.

Unfortunately, the presentation night planned for Saturday November 14 has had to be cancelled due to the lack of numbers.

The date chosen turned out to clash with several other functions that restricted the numbers of people who could attend. An alternative presentation function is being planned with details to be announced as soon as they are known.

particular the Cannons in the region,” Mr Ryan said.

“It’s playable here. The Cooma association is keen, and we’re keen.”

The opportunity to host the Canberra Cannons would be a great promotion for basketball, and a great way to grow basketball in the area.

The Cannons have been affiliated with Cooma in the past, running basketball clinics and Cooma basketball club would take bus loads of people to matches in Canberra.

Both Cooma and the cannons are looking forward to re-establishing this relationship, and a match held at Cooma stadium next year is a perfect way to start.

Cooma basketball stadium could be hosting a Canberra Cannons match next year, when the ACT side make their return in the South East Australian Basketball League.

The Cannons, who have not had a side since 2003, are looking forward to getting back into the competition, and will be working to promote basketball and the Cannons throughout Canberra and the surrounding districts.

Representatives from Cooma basketball met with Cannons managing director Terry Ryan last week, to discuss the possibility of a game coming to Cooma.

“We’re having a preliminary look at the stadium to make sure we can conduct a Canberra Cannons game.

“We want to spread the word of basketball and in
