Residents should also be aware of other heat sources that can start a fire in hot and dry conditions, this includes lawn mowers and other machinery.

Mr Hendy said “As I indicated on the day Dr Kelly conceded, I thought it was important that I wait until we had received a clear indication from the AEC Office in Queanbeyan about the count in Eden-Monaro and the likely result. That has now occurred and the seat has been called and I am now claiming victory. “Once again Eden-Monaro has proven to be the bellwether seat, going to the government of the day. We live in a truly amazing part of Australia and our electorate is very much part of Australia’s political folklore. “Firstly, I want to thank the people of Eden-Monaro for giving me the honour of representing them in the national Parliament. “Once again, I also want to thank the other political

under control by fire crews. Three RFS crews and two Fire Rescue crews attended the fire and quickly contained it to a paddock. Heavy smoke made visibility poor on the Snowy Mountains Highway. The cause of the fire is still unknown but Monaro Team Fire Mitigation Officer Fred Nichols from the RFS says that there is a possibility it was started by a lawn mower. Fire crews finished at 8.30 Tuesday night and resumed work at first light on Wednesday morning, blacking out and mopping up. Last Thursday night at 9.30 Fire Rescue and RFS received a call to a fire at Cooma Creek. Fire fighters quickly extinguished the fire. This is the fourth time fire fighters have been called to a fire on Cooma Creek and it is suspected that each time has been an arson attack by the same person.

The fires have been reported to police and the people responsible for the fires should be warned that if caught they could be up for a gaol sentence for arson. In the early hours of Monday morning a house was burnt down at East Jindabyne on Jerrara Drive. Fire Rescue and Rural Fire Service received a call to the fire at 3.30am Monday morning. It is believed the fire was started late Sunday night, as by the time fire fighters reached the fire, the house was almost completely destroyed. It took fire fighters just 20 minutes to extinguish the fire but work continued throughout Monday morning to investigate the fire and ensure it was completely extinguished. Luckily the house was unoccupied at the time of the fire. The cause of the fire is being investigated by police. Cooma Police have identified the five males responsible for an

assault on another man in Cooma on September 22, but no charges have been laid as yet. Cooma police are investigating an act of malicious damage to a vehicle overnight on Thursday. At sometime between 7pm Thursday and 9am on Friday, a vehicle parked in a driveway in Creek Street was splattered with eggs and paint, had three tyres deflated, the duco scratched and had sticks wedged into the door handles. Police would like to hear from anyone with information about this incident. On Saturday night, Cooma police issued a drunk and disorderly move-on order to five people who had been fighting in Dawson Street. The incident occurred at about 10.15pm. All five people, from Sydney, complied with the order

Lynch to visit China In an attempt to enrich the Monaro and Snowy Mountains tourism industry Mayor of Cooma Monaro Shire Council Dean Lynch and Mayor of Bombala Bob Stewart will be attending the first World Agritourism Development Forum in China on October 24. Cr Lynch hopes that the forum will allow this area to tap into a whole new tourism market. The forum is aimed at developing agritourism within countries and also achieving cooperation in exchanging tourists between countries. Potentially this could mean our area will play host to business people from other countries who would hold conferences or farmstays in our area. Mayors and ambassadors from about 30 countries will attend the forum. Cr Lynch was invited by former Bombala local Hugh Kater who is now living in Beijing and will be also attending the forum. In an email to Cr Lynch, Mr Kater said Chinese business people were not looking for a five star hotel experience anymore; they wanted something different where they could conduct business in a unique setting. Mr Kater said he believed, having grown up in the district, that Cooma had a lot to offer in terms of Agritourism, because of the unique landscape and variety of agriculture. Cr Lynch said the forum would provide a good opportunity to make some key contacts and follow up on ideas for Agritourism in the shire. “Both agriculture and tourism underpin our local economy and this forum addresses both of these. To see the two combined in our community would have a very good outcome.� Not only will this forum be beneficial for our community but if successful could result in Canberra becoming an international airport if there is a demand for it. Dean Lynch has been in

Cooma-Monaro Shire mayor Dean Lynch. contact with John Robus who is a part of both Snowy Mountains Tourism Committee and the ACT tourism committee who says this could be the demand that Canberra needs to attain an International airport. The ultimate goal of the forum is to organise specialised tourist groups to visit the different countries that attend. The Forum will be held in Changsha City, Hunan Province, China on October 25 to 27. Transport including flights and accommodation will be provided by the Forum.

Fewer closures for Dalgety Bridge works Changes have been made to the Dalgety Bridge restoration work schedule, in an effort to minimise the impact upon road users and the community, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro has announced. In an options report, the Road and Maritime Services (RMS) have found the most appropriate option is to limit the number of bridge closures during the rehabilitation work. “The number of full closures has been reduced from 14 to five days and partial closures have been reduced from 108 days to 42 days.

“During partial closures the bridge will be closed intermittently on weekdays for up to two hours at a time from 9am to 3.30pm.� Mr Barilaro said night closures will be in place but will only occur on weekdays from 7pm to 5am. “There will only be five days where 24 hour closures will take place and they will not occur back to back,� said Mr Barilaro. “The work requiring full closures will be delivered in two stages and the local community will be advised at least three weeks in advance.

“Work carried out under the bridge is not expected to cause traffic disruptions but a reduced speed limit will be in place to ensure the safety of workers and road users.� Mr Barilaro said there will be no impact to pedestrians wanting to cross the river. The options report also determines that the restoration work would be carried out without the installation of a temporary crossing. “Three alternative crossing options that were presented posed considerable risks to the environment, would not be safe

Nimmity CWA morning

Across Australia, early Europeans nd commented again and again that the land sy looked like a park, with extensive grassy s, patches and pathways, open woodlands, as discovered this thi his and abundant wildlife. Bill Gammage has ed the land in a far was because Aboriginal people managed more systematic and scientific fashion than most people have ever realized. For more than a decade, he has examined written and visual records of the Australian landscape. He has uncovered an extraordinarily complex system of land management using fire, the life cycles of native plants, and the natural flow of water to ensure plentiful wildlife and plant foods throughout the year. Aboriginal people spent far less time and effort than Europeans in securing food and shelter, and this book reveals how. Once Aboriginal people were no longer able to tend their country, it became overgrown and vulnerable to the hugely damaging bushfires Australians now experience. With details of land-management strategies from around Australia, this book rewrites the history of the continent, with huge implications for today.

Local Navy Cadets to participate in International Fleet Review The Chief of Navy, Vice Admiral Ray Griggs, AO CSC RAN, has invited three local cadets from the Jindabyne based Snowy Mountains Australian Navy Cadet (ANC) unit, Training Ship ORION, to join the Royal Australian Navy and participate in the Royal Australian Navy’s International Fleet Review in Sydney from October 2 – 11. The cadets chosen are Able Seaman Alex Grant and Leading Seamen Connor Fricke-Danis and Dan Truscott. They have been selected from over 2500 ANC personnel, Australia-wide.

Officer,

Lieutenant Pierre Vennik ANC, said the Review was being held in Sydney from October 3-11 to commemorate the centenary of the first entry of the Royal Australian Navy’s Fleet into Sydney. On October 4, 1913, the flagship HMAS Australia led the new Australian Fleet Unit comprising HMA Ships Melbourne, Sydney, Encounter, Warrego, Parramatta and Yarra into Sydney Harbour for the first time. He said that it is anticipated that approximately 40 warships and 17 tall ships will from more than 20 nations would participate in this historic event. The ANC will contribute a contingent of 300 personnel to this Review and associated activities, which include: Friday 4 October Ceremonial Fleet Entry into Sydney Harbour. Saturday 5 October Ceremonial Fleet Review by the Governor-General, Air Displays over Sydney Harbour and a Pyrotechnics and Lightshow Spectacular in the evening. Sunday 6 October Ships open to visitors.

Wednesday 9 October Combined Navies, including Navy Cadets, Parade up George Street, Sydney. The Cadets will be accommodated in Defence establishments, but parents have had to contribute to the expense. Additionally, a further four cadets, Seamen Lola Hamid, Rhianna Burke, Caroline Greene and Kirra Burke, accompanied by the Unit’s Executive Officer, Sub Lieutenant Mike Hardwick ANC, will witness the highlights of the Review under a program initiated by the Canberra based unit, TS CANBERRA, entitled “Join the Journey�.

Sub Lieutenant Vennik said that this was another example of the interesting and challenging opportunities available to TS ORION’s cadets. He and Able Seaman Nikora flew to Hobart at their own expense to join the Windeward Bound on September 24, prior to sailing for Sydney, where they are scheduled to arrive on October

Berridale Fair to celebrate 150th anniversary The annual Berridale Spring Fair and the celebration of the town’s 150th anniversary will occur on Saturday October 5 from 9am to 2pm in the Lions Park and Central Park on Jindabyne Road Berridale. This is a major event in the Berridale Lions calendar. The Sesquicentenary is not about the founding of Berridale but rather the 150th anniversary of William Oliver’s selection of the area that was to become Berridale. We will be celebrating many interesting and unique things about Berridale’s development and its long history. The reason for the “Unique� theme lies in many aspects of Berridale that few if any other towns in the Snowy River Shire or the Monaro can claim. Berridale is the only town on Monaro named after a place in the “Old Country� (Scotland) and is the only original town in the Shire. The layout of the streets was not determined by the State as Berridale was built on private land. The war memorial with its crucifix is very rare. The Jesse window in All Saints Anglican Church is but one of two in Australia. The original School domed building was intended to be a temporary structure based on an army design normally built out of timber. As timber was in short supply at the time it

was built out of local stone. And so it remains. Because of this history the Spring Fair will not only celebrate the period but also the Scottish connections. The Club has received incredibly generous assistance from many people and organisations and the Club is enormously grateful for their assistance and support. Valma Mylan has volunteered to provide a period fashion show using her own collection of period clothes and with the help of her own models. The show will present clothes for children, the elderly and brides. Cooma Caledonian Dancers will perform with the backing of piper Chris Adams a former Cooma resident now living in Nowra. Pupils of Rosie O’Sullivan’s School of Dance will also perform. These events will take place on a stage supplied by Cooma Dance School, delivered and erected by Jo and Tom Brown adjacent to the Skate Park. To provide some historical perspective there will be four talks about Berridale delivered by four people who are current or former residents in the Berridale area as well as a static display of photographs and furniture in the proximity of Aitchison Cottage. Apart from the entertainment that will occur on the stage there are also other

activities that would have appeal to many people. The Merry-go-round and Jumping Castle will be there for the enjoyment of children while the whole family might be entertained by a horse drawn cart ride. People wanting to immerse themselves in the period atmosphere could dress up in period costume and take their own photographs to remember the occasion. Then again perhaps a game of horse shoe throwing might amuse. With the new “MONSTER� Fair format trialled at the Spring Fair last year there will be activities, entertainment and stall variety to satisfy the most fastidious of patrons. Because of the large number of stallholders the Fair will extend over both the Lions Park and the Central Park on Jindabyne Road. The Lions Club will also have a wide variety of food available at reasonable prices.

A BURNING ISSUE Forecasts of high hot summer temperatures as well as dry warm and gusty winds this year have prompted warnings from the Rural Fire Service (RFS) for communities to be vigilant, and plan for fire warnings by reducing fuel loads around properties and farms. Bush fires are a natural part of the Australian rural environment and occur regularly; but many people fail to prepare for them. Cooma’s local RFS have asked for Council’s support in spreading the message of preparing your homes and land to protect them from bushfire. One of the biggest fuel load concerns is the highly invasive weed known as "African Lovegrass". It can form dense monocultures up to 1.5m high. This can create large fuel loads in the dry months, posing a fire hazard and creating competition with native species regeneration. African Lovegrass is known to burn hot and spreads fast. A demonstration in August this year by RFS at Bredbo on burning lovegrass, proved to fire fighters and local residents and farmers watching, just how fast a burn takes off when there’s lovegrass involved. So the message is clear. Be careful with welding or doing anything that may cause a spark, including slashing, ploughing or mowing during peak summer months. Prepare your property – put in containment lines, slash, burn, increase stock numbers temporarily into paddocks to get the grass down, and ensure your fire fighting equipment is in good working order. Council will also be able to increase its scheduled verge mowing maintenance program, thanks to a grant by the RFS. If you have African Lovegrass on or near your property, seek professional advice on management strategies, mechanical and chemical controls, and pasture management, as appropriate planning is critical to any weed control and reducing grass fuel loads. Council’s weeds department can provide free advice on these matters. Please contact our weeds department on 6455 1777 or refer to Councils web page www.cooma.gov.au for more information on this issue. A Bush Fire Survival Plan kit is also available to residents on www.rfs.nsw.gov.au

Much ado about Berridale poplars .LULYHS 4HUHNLY 16, =,:*06

Our Vegetation Management unit has asked me to remind land managers and residents to be 'Weed Wise' for the next few months as Serrated Tussock and African Lovegrass are now coming out in seed in farm paddocks, along roadsides, in nature reserves and in our gardens, as well as many other noxious and non-noxious weeds. Everyone should be mindful of the following: t XIFSF UIFZ QBSL UIFJS DBST t XIBU UIFZ BSF NPXJOH XJUI UIFJS lawnmowers (eg: is there African Lovegrass or other nasties currently JO TFFE JO UIFJS MBXOT t XIBU JT EPOF XJUI UIF MBXO DMJQQJOHT t XIFSF UIFZ USBOTQPSU UIFJS MBXONPXFS BGUFS UIF KPC JT EPOF t BSF UIFZ UBLJOH B QJFDF PG equipment, machinery or a vehicle from a place that does have infestations of weeds to a clean QBUDI PG MBOE BOE t NPOJUPSJOH BSFBT XIFSF WJTJUPST EP regularly park their vehicles. Making simple checks on all of these things assists in stopping the spread of these noxious weeds. If anyone is unsure of what African Lovegrass, Serrated Tussock, St Johns Wort (which is also forming flower buds at the moment), or any other nasties look like, please contact the Vegetation Management Office at Council and we can assist in the identification of noxious weed species found in the Shire as now is the optimum time for identification as they are coming into seed. Land managers are reminded that if they are controlling noxious weeds with herbicide to read the label thoroughly and follow the safety directions.

Nothing encapsulates autumn in the Snowy Mountains like a drive through Berridale’s golden corridor of Poplar trees. These well-known Poplars are visually iconic as well as having a rich historic significance, as they were planted by Berridale school children in 1936. However it has become clear that some of these trees have become unsafe and are beginning to cause problems to houses nearby. To fix these problems Snowy River Shire Council has proposed a plan for the replacement of the Berridale Poplars, which has caused a lot of controversy in the Berridale community. As the leaves of the Poplars mark the change of the seasons throughout the year, they are now entering their final seasons of life. These stunning trees have stood strong and tall in the village of Berridale for almost 80 years. As they move into their final stage of life Council needs to commence planning for the regeneration of the Berridale Poplars. Age is only one of the components that are of concern; with the trees being discussed as major issues for electricity companies, local property owners, Roads & Maritime Services, pedestrians, road users and underground assets, such as water and sewer mains. At this stage Council has made no decisions in regards to the future of the Berridale Poplars. Council is merely gathering information and your participation is greatly appreciated. The more information Council can gain from the community, the clearer the direction and the outcome of this project. Council is calling for all interested community members; especially those who love the Berridale Poplars and who would like to participate in future community consultation sessions,

and those who have concerns, to register their interest by contacting Council. Council sees the replacement of the poplars as the community’s project. “At this stage we are simply just calling for expressions of interest to be part of a consultative committee. The committee will also have four arborists and they will be called upon to make an assessment and report on the health of the Poplars. From there we will be able to make an informed decision on the future of the Poplars,” said Mayor of Snowy River Shire Council John Cahill. “It is in our interest to keep as many of the Poplars as we can but the community’s safety is our main priority and in the long term we need to look at developing a new avenue of trees,” he said. Council encourages all Berridale community members to register their interest by contacting Council. Council staff will take your details and contact you to ensure you are aware of all information and community consultation sessions that will be held in the months leading up to the project. “We want to hear from those community members whose family planted the trees, those who have grown up with the trees as well as anyone who loves the Poplars. We want all interested parties to have the opportunity to participate,” noted General Manager Joe Vescio. Whilst Council staff have been gathering information and reports in order to have all the information available when they meet with the community members, at least 140 community members have completed the survey and several have registered. For more information on how you can be involved please contact Council by phoning 6451 1195.

Launch of Monaro vegetable planting guide The Cooma Community Garden will launch its Monaro Seasonal vege Planting Guide at St Andrews Uniting Church Fete on Saturday 12 October. Mrs Lyn Last, President of the Cooma Garden Club will officiate the launch ceremony. “I’m privileged to be involved.” Mrs Last said, “The Cooma Garden Club supports what the Community Garden are doing, more people need to know how to grow their own food.” The vegetable planting guide has been drawn from a number of sources. “We started with the vege planting guide in the Nimmitabel Garden Club book that Mrs Anne Charles contributed, and Mrs Helen Litchfield’s seasonal planting guide in the Yumeralla Cook Book” said Monica Alcock from the Community Garden. “Then we looked at other “cold climate” guides on-line, and truth-tested it with some recognised vege growers across the district.” “We are excited to launch this planting guide,” said Mrs

Stalls, books, seedlings, BBQ, morning tea, “We hope everyone will come along and get their copy of the planting guide, which will be available for sale on the day,” said Mrs McKenzie-Kay. “Without the support of the Uniting Church, we couldn’t operate the garden,” said Mrs McKenzie-Kay, “We sincerely thank the Church for their ongoing support, for the use of the hall and the gardens for all of our community workshops and events.” The Cooma Community Garden is located at 61 Soho Street, next door to the Uniting Church. The Garden is open and people are welcome to spend some quiet time in the garden to enjoy the peace the garden offers.

Harmonies for Hope Harmonies for Hope is a fundraising concert being organised by our very own X Factor star, Vendulka Wichta. The concert will be held at the Cooma ExServices Club on November 1, with all proceeds going to the Monaro Committee for Cancer Research (MCCR). This is not the first time Vendulka has helped out the MCCR. Two years ago she raised $1200. In the short 16 years of her life, Vendulka has become the seasoned performer. Most recently of course, she competed in the X factor Australia 2013 making it to the final 24 performers. She has just released her first album, entitled Vendulka EP, which showcases not only her wonderful singing and guitar talents, but also her great writing abilities. Appearing with Vendulka at the Hormonies for Hope Concert will be X Factor co-star Briden

Starr along with Alex Richens, Joel Davy and Ruby Phillips. The MCCR is a local charity which aims to provide opportunities for our community to support cancer research and local cancer care facilities. A major initiative of the MCCR is the Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS) which provides practical financial support for individuals or families struggling with the challenges of a cancer diagnosis and related treatment issues for the populations of Cooma-Monaro, Snowy River and Bombala Shires. To date the MCCR FAS has helped 64 local families. Come along and have a wonderful night and help Vendulka help the MCCR. Tickets are $20 per person and are available at the Cooma Visitors Centre.

Vale: Deidre Shannon (1930 – 2013) by John Davis Deidre Caszna Shannon was born on April 25, 1930. Deidre’s middle name was given to her as a tribute to being born on Anzac Day, because spelt backwards is Anzac. She spent the early years of her life growing up in Bondi. In the late 1940s Deidre left the City to work at the Chalet, Charlotte Pass, then later at the Hotel Kosciusko (Sponars). She met and married Jack, then for a time managed and operated the Roadside Bar, which was built to operate the liquor licence of the Hotel Kosciusko destroyed by fire in 1951. Deidre and Jack moved down the mountain to live at Waste Point when Jack was employed as a stonemason with the Kosciusko State Park, now the National Park. Living at Waste Point, she became involved in most things that were happening and shopping in Jindabyne where her boys went to school. With her friendly, happy and caring nature, she made many friends throughout the district. Still employed by the National Park & Wildlife Service, Deidre and Jack shifted from Waste Point into a “Park� house in Banjo Paterson Crescent in Jindabyne. Now in

town, Deidre worked a bit at the BP Garage, a restaurant, the Lake Jindabyne Hotel, and a shop - all places where she was face to face with people and whether they were locals or tourists, she would brighten up their day. Someone described her as “a bundle of laughs.� For a bit of fun, Deidre and a few other locals, got together one day and formed a concert group – “the Alpine Players - no big plans initially, but before long the group decided to try to stage a revue to entertain an audience, and entertain they did. It was here that Deidre found that she could make a lot more people happy at the one time. She gave her all to combine with the rest of the group, for them to stage many more shows. Her solo performances brought wild applause through her “Auntie Jack� and “Charlie Chaplin� impersonations and other character roles still remembered by many today. Family friend, Diane Thornburgh said “Dee had so much input into the shows. There was many a laugh shared around Marge Robson’s dining table as ideas were bounced around as to what and who was to be targeted. We would probably be run out of town now and

Deidre Shannon complete with parrot, as Pirate Pete. would be so politically incorrect in many of the skits. Nobody was off limits and everyone took it well. Before her performance as Pirate Pete, there was much hilarity as Dee’s leg was strapped up behind her back, in order to attach the local plumber’s

plunger to her knee.� Deidre passed away on September 12th, remembered fondly by many friends and acquaintances. She is survived by her three sons – Rory, Mathew and Brendan – and her sister Pat.

Jerangle’s little community has a big heart The isolated community of Jerangle felt slightly closer to a remote indigenous community in the outback by holding a fund raiser at the school. Jerangle students enjoyed participating in The Great Book Swap during the last week of term, where they held a book shop in the school and asked members of their community to join them in sharing and swapping books. The library was transformed into a temporary book shop and the children were buzzing with excitement while pouring over the wide variety of books on offer. Cooma Second Hand Bookshop was very supportive of the initiative and donated some exciting and highly sort after books. Pages of Life Book shop in Cooma also lent a helping hand by giving a lucky door prize book

by Andy Griffiths. The day was a huge success with the school making over $250 for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. The children were delighted to swap their preloved books and at the same time learnt about buying and selling and handling money. “It was wonderful to see the students exchanged their opinions about certain books, authors, subjects and titles to each other,” commented Principal Mrs Sonja Thorvaldson. “Their delight in reading and enthusiasm for books reached new levels.” The students are looking forward to reading their books and hope that a remote Aboriginal community will also be able to

experience a similar love of books that was generated in the Great Book Swap at Jerangle.

SMGS students shine in English Students at Snowy Mountains Grammar School (SMGS) continue to challenge their peers within the NSW and the ACT by producing outstanding results in the recent International Competition and Assessment for Schools (ICAS) English Competition. In total, 142 SMGS students from Year 2-11 competed in the International Competition. ‘ICAS is an important opportunity for our students to demonstrate their talents and to apply the skills and concepts they learn in their classroom to complex and unfamiliar questions’, said Director of Studies Mr Geoff Greentree. ‘In a world where students question the purpose of their learning, the ICAS Competition provides a stage for students to understand the importance of learning more than just content – skills are fundamental to a ever-changing society’. In total, 20 percent of the SMGS cohort achieved a Credit or above in the Competition, with nine students placed in the top 11 percent of the State for their age group. ‘Being placed within the top 11 percent of your cohort in a competition where many schools select only their brightest students to compete enhances the achievement factor for our students where all students have a go’, said Dr Michael Barton, Director of Teaching and Learning at SMGS. ‘In some cases, our students achieved in the top two percent of the State and that is a remarkable achievement’ added Dr Barton.

Ely Frize, a SMGS Year 2 student, achieved a score of 30 out of 35 placing him in the 98th percentile for his year group across the State. His mother, Wendy Frize, was ecstatic with his result, “Ely has a mind that questions the world around him and through his sense of wonder, he seems to join the dots together to form a picture and I’m so pleased that this wonder has been harnessed at SMGS’. In the Secondary School, Year 11 student Grace Woonton achieved a Distinction and was in the top nine percent of the State. ‘It’s great to see our secondary students shine too’, said Mr Andrew Bell, School Principal. “Grace is an exceptional scholar - in and out of the classroom - and was recently appointed a 2014 Academic Captain at the School. Her determination for all things academic is outstanding’, continued Bell. ‘The International Competitions and Assessments for Schools are independent evaluations of students’ skills and knowledge in core learning areas and provide insight into students’ understanding. The skills and understandings tested are important indicators of success in school and beyond,’ said Nick Connolly, Senior Manager Test Development at Educational Assessment Australia, UNSW Global. ‘I would like to recognise the participation of students from SMGS with certificates and congratulate them on their efforts and achievements.’

experience working with kids and families to embrace literacy and here at Monaro Regional Libraries we want the Grandparents in our community to connect with her! She has some great tips on how to read to the children in your life with confidence and fun. Nearly 50% of Australians struggle with literacy. One of the main ways children learn to read and love reading is to see adults in their lives doing just that! Whether you’re listening to a child read, looking at a picture book with a baby or toddler, reading recipes, magazines or reading a book to a child of any age, you are helping that child to read for life! So please come along.

DOGS IN PUBLIC PLACES Dog owners are reminded that there are restrictions on some public areas in the shire which restrict where you may take your dogs.

postman calls

Mmmm, one month into spring and the threat of frost remains. But the Postman has gone kamikaze this spring and taken a punt on planting out some tomato seedlings. The heated throw, hot water bottle and blankets are on standby though, just in case. It’s a wait and see process in The Postman’s garden – we wait and see what damage the NEXT frost causes. What a contrast of weather last weekend. On Saturday, riders in the Dalgety team penning competition were literally losing their hats in the strong winds.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst

On Sunday, the perfect weather for equestrian (and any other) pursuits was a welcome change. The horses seemed to enjoy it, too. This Saturday marks the 50th year of selection of the village of Berridale. Celebrations for this auspicious occasion will be held throughout the day, in conjunction with the Berridale spring fair. Should be a good day for anyone interested in a little local history, and/or all things Scottish. See you there… And, just when we thought footy season was over, here comes the ‘soccer’ six-aside and touch footy competitions. What a sporting lot we are - good to so some many people keeping active.

Cooma-Monaro Council has adopted its “verge” policy, which lists what council will mow, maintain, etc. Perhaps council should offer a bottle of weed killer for every household to spray African Lovegrass which is on everyone’s nature strip? How about it, council?

Men tend to think they are the most practical and down to earth of the two sexes. Now and then, however, there come those times when they do or say something totally out of left field and you have to feel sorry for their womenfolk who are left wondering “What the hey...??!” Some classics that I remember are 1) the husband of a friend who sat down to the plate of veg and crumbed sausages with a pained look on his face and when friend asked him what was wrong he poked at one of the sausages and said “What’s with the crumbs? You know I don’t like fancy food!” No, she didn’t kill him but I would have, and 2) my good mate, Ros, who asked hubby, Joe, to have a flick through her manuscript and give her some feedback. So he did the husbandly thing and read through it and then proclaimed that he didn’t really like it because there was “...no fishin’, no huntin’ and not enough shootin’!” That was it. No other comment. But that’s men for you. Either they’re weirding out over something really simple or giving you the nofrills version when what you were really hoping for was a little more substance. They don’t always do details though so... Anyway, I’m guessing you’re all wondering why I am bringing all this

up now. Because every now and then The Bloke drops a random comment into the conversation just for the fun of it that’s why, but his latest would have to be the strongest contender yet for the Diamanté Tiara. Sure, he probably does this to make me think (like, I don’t already make excellent use of my superior female thought processes!) but how am I supposed to respond to something like “You haven’t answered the question I haven’t asked you yet!” which he dropped on me out of the blue while I was focused on sourcing my first caffeine hit of the day. Like, who does that? But even more puzzling is where did he ever come up with a question like that and what kind of answer could he have been anticipating??? Well yes, it certainly got my attention and no, I didn’t go ballistic so yes, he still lives but let’s face it, even the smartest female (and I am so up there!) may have a little difficulty with that one. Okay, more than a little maybe, because as curve balls out of left field go, a weird comment like that one tends to leave one speechless, at least until the profanity kicks in after which one may say/scream/hiss whatever one wants! This one found she could string together several very creatively. It certainly made me think!

Monaro Regional Library encourages tech savvy seniors Monaro Regional Libraries (MRL) has been overwhelmed by the response to the Tech Savvy Senior learning days that happened across the three local government areas in September. “Seniors in our community

have really responded to the opportunities these sessions offered to explore the ins and outs of digital mobile devices and how to make technology work for them” said MRL Manager Pam Veiss.

“The sessions were rapidly booked out and we already have a waiting list for the next Tech Savvy Senior mobile devices sessions with Sharyn Hole, Illawarra TAFE IT trainier, that we hope to run before the end of

the year. We will be contacting the people who missed out in September when we have confirmed the dates”, said Pam. Tech Savvy Seniors is a partnership between the NSW Government and Telstra which

provides training to older people across NSW. More information on Telstra Training resources can be found at http://www.telstra.com.au/ telstra-seniors/index.htm

Builders concerned by levy rise Statement by Executive employers registered in the portable Director of the MBA-ACT, LSL Scheme and that 900 of those companies employ four or less John Miller

workers, that does not alter the fact that even at an average of about $40 a fortnight, the full-year cost over four employees runs out at close to $4,000,” he said. Mr Miller said that for a building company faced with a range of other cost increases, an additional wages bill of $4,000 was substantial and not easily recouped in challenging market conditions. “At a time when Canberra’s building and construction industry was struggling to emerge from the downturn generated first by the Global Financial Crisis and the more recent slowing in the domestic economy, this increase will undoubtedly have a significant impact on many of our member companies,” he said. Mr Miller said that it was to be hoped that the Government would look to alleviate some of the impact of the increase by seeking to decrease other costs impacting on the industry where possible.

Canberra’s peak building and construction industry organisation, Master Builders ACT has expressed concern at the impact of an increase in the portable Long Service Leave Scheme levy for workers in the building and construction industry. The executive director of the MBA-ACT, John Miller said that while his organisation accepted the actuarial rationale behind the increase announced by the Minister for Workplace Safety, Simon Corbell, this did not mitigate the impact it would have on building companies already struggling with the impacts of global economic uncertainty and consequent tentative consumer sentiment. “While, at first blush, the increase in the levy of 0.75 per cent may seem modest, it needs to be calculated across the number of people employed in each company and the manner in which this, in turn, will impact on overall labour costs,” he said. For further information please Mr Miller said that while the contact: John Miller 02 6247 2099 minister had referenced the need for or 0408 697849 an increase in the levy to maintain the viability of the LSL scheme and to ensure the retention of workers in Canberra, it needed to be weighed against the manner in which it would erode the bottom line for many building companies in the national capital. “If we accept Mr Corbell’s assessment that there are 1600

There is no doubt many clients we deal with daily are looking for Positive Cash Flow. Why? It increases their weekly income and therefore has no strain on their family or personal budget. The fact is now that pretty much all property is positive cash flow if it returns a 5% yield or above and the investor is in the 37% tax bracket and above. Due to interest rates being the lowest they have been in our most investor’s life time. But when I talk about positive cash flow I mean aiming to replace your income so you can stop work sooner and have a passive income. Positive Cash Flow is great but you still need to be investing in the correct time of a property cycle to assure you gain the maximum capital growth as this is where the real money is made. But I totally get people want to achieve extra income whilst waiting for growth, and importantly not effecting their lifestyle today in a negative way, but actually in a positive way, we all want more money don’t we. Especially with the cost of living and all the fun to be had! So how do you gain maximum capital growth and positive cash flow 7% to 10% returns? 1) Well the first way is by putting in a substantial cash deposit, therefore you are not borrowing as much therefore your costs to hold the property are less, which gives you the positive cash flow position. 2) Most investors borrow 100% plus costs for the property, by transferring a small amount of equity from their home into an investment property through a line of credit or offset account. You need to talk to a qualified finance broker to work out what is the best way for you. But when you do this to achieve a positive cash flow result you need to invest in a location with high rental returns or a NRAS property or a Dual Occupancy Property, where you have multiple income. a) High rental returns – There is a number of locations in QLD and WA that have multiple mining resources combined with other economic industries that provide diversified employment opportunities. Therefore housing demand that is sustainable. For example a client bought a property 1000 m2 block with 4 bedroom 2 bathroom and double garage from one of our builders last week for $439k with a guaranteed $800 per week rent. b) NRAS – National Rental Affordability Scheme, cash flow positive due to the approx. $10k tax free Gov incentive. c) Dual Occupancy- This is where on one block the builder provides a unique design that has two separately metered services to two residents, a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom single garage and a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom single garage therefore increasing the rental return. All options are available based on your preferred requirements, if you would like to know more please do not hesitate to contact me.

Wild dog control group meeting Last Wednesday, members of the Shannon’s Flat, Bredbo and Michelago wild dog and fox working group met at the Shannon’s Flat Hall. The group meets each six months to update progress on programs in operation to control wild dogs, foxes, cats and, increasingly, wild pigs. The meeting was chaired by landholder representative, Brian Clifford. Also in attendance were Livestock Health and Pest Authority (LHPA) personnel, Thomas Ross, Robbie Flanagan, Tim Russell and Mick Davis and representatives of the ACT Parks Department. Overall, reports of wild dogs attacks were minimal, which indicated the programs are working. Rangers have details of activity from early during the year and in the at area, not many dogs had been a problem, although several wild pigs had been eradicated by LHPA staff. Foxes and cats had also been trapped. ACT Senior

Vertebrate Pest Management Officer, Oliver Cargill advised the meeting that Parks Department was committed to maintaining the programs which are now in operation and had budgeted funding for contract rangers for more intensive operations or if there was a sudden increase in dog activity. Thomas Ross gave the meeting an update on the transition of the LHPA to the Local Land Services (LLS), which is due to be functional in a few months. He said the chair of chairs, Camden dairy and poultry producer and businessman Mr John MacarthurStanham will be the inaugural chair of the new Local Land Services (LLS) board of chairs. He said local board members were still to be appointed, as well as landholder nominated members. Recruiting was underway for team leader positions within the new organization. Mr Ross said landholders must register to vote, and

Pictured at the wild dog working group meeting at Shannon’s Flat last Wednesday are, from left, Brian Clifford, Thomas Ross, Tim Russell, Robbie Flanagan, Mick Davis and Chris Condon from the ACT Parks Department. each holding would have only one vote, unlike the present system. He said these appointments must be completed by the end of 2013. He also said the services now provided by the LHPA, including wild dog control programs, would be carried over to the LLS.

Schute Bell wool report In a positive week for the wool market, the NMI gained 21 cents to again jump through the 1100 cent barrier closing at 1115c/kg. The major increases were in the medium micron categories with the 18-22 micron ranges all closing in positive territory. A large selection of superfine wool was seen this week as both Sydney and Melbourne contained sizable offerings of both New England and Tasmanian wool. These types yielded mixed results as buyers competed strongly on the better stylish superfine lots pushing them up by 50 cents however less stylish types struggled on the back of the large supply. This week’s result continues the severe fluctuation in the market over the last few weeks; a fact not lost on most in the industry and one that provides a certain frustration to all. In essence what has occurred over the last month has been a combination of a number of factors. Initially some new orders in the market sparked a somewhat panicked reaction by buyers leading to the very sharp rise over a two week period. These rises were not sustainable on the back of the amount of actual orders in the market. Held stock levels in China are generally pretty low

and buyers were concerned that they could be caught short. Then we saw a strengthening currency and some larger offerings (not historically large, but certainly large in today’s environment) which pushed the market lower over the next two weeks. After numerous Australian exporters attended the Nanjing Wool market Conference in China last week they returned with some new orders sparking this week’s more positive market. Hopefully this is a more sustainable rise. Next Week’s Sales Sales continue next week across all 3 centres with a total of 44,412 bales rostered. We will offer our catalogues for sale on Wednesday 2nd October Wool Price Percentile Data Avg Nth/Sth

‘Best practice’ carbon farming that considers more than just the carbon in trees is needed if the full benefits of trees in the landscape are to be realised by farmers, landholders, and the community. CSIRO-led research confirms that tree plantings in rural lands have significant potential to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and, if done well, can provide a stream of other benefits to farmers, local communities and the environment. “Schemes which offer economic incentives for growing trees for carbon present an opportunity to reverse trends in land clearing but also to restore ecosystem services – such as pest control, pollination, soil and water conservation – that provide important benefits to farmers and the broader community,� according to CSIRO’s Dr Brenda Lin. The removal of trees may have disrupted refuges for native insects that control pests, pollination, carbon sequestration, organic matter accumulation and water and soil conservation which are important for sustainable farming and the environment. “The ability of carbon tree plantings to restore some of these other benefits that support agricultural production may be a key factor in encouraging farmers and landholders to take up this type of carbon farming,� Dr Lin said. “Land-use models show that policies aimed solely at maximising carbon storage may not produce additional agricultural and environmental benefits and may even produce unwanted outcomes for farmers, landowners and communities. “For example, studies of past revegetation

in agricultural landscapes show that in some locations intensive single-species (or monoculture) plantations can affect water flows, increase invasive pests and lead to biodiversity loss, be fire prone and have poor growth rates. Poorly located vegetation could reduce the availability of land for food production.� Alternatively, there are many opportunities for tree plantings, if planned and implemented properly, to provide additional benefits to the farmer beyond just carbon. “By revegetating unused, marginal or degraded cropping land, using multiple species of trees and shrubs, we could see improvements to pest control, pollination and water quality, increased wind protection and reduced soil erosion and salinity,� Dr Lin said. “For example, we know that remnant native vegetation patches that currently persist in agricultural landscapes, if they are well managed and contain few weed species, support a range of insect and spider predators and parasitic wasps that can attack pests of grain crops.� The benefits for local communities and the public could include increased water quality, reduced pesticide use, more habitat for species such as birds, and other cultural benefits. The research, published in the American BioScience journal, highlights the need to better understand these private, public and shared benefits and tradeoffs so that future policies and initiatives encourage ‘best practice’ tree plantings that maximize the positives while also storing carbon.

Recent wild dog attacks in the Numbla Vale area are causing a headache for local landholders as well as the National Parks and Wildlife Service. The attacks have been attributed to one problem dog which is proving very difficult to bait, shoot or trap. NPWS Snowy River Area manager, Pam O’Brien said “the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is aware that there has been an increase in dog attacks on sheep and lambs in the Numbla Vale Area. “Wild dogs have a large home range and we are aware of a particular problem dog at Numbla Vale and expect Kosciuszko National Park is part of its home range. “NPWS has a proactive and reactive dog control program in place in the Numbla Vale area which includes a full time NPWS Dog Trapper who is supplemented by contract trappers and other NPWS staff.

“The program includes the laying of 1080 baits and ejectors along trails, rivers, creeks and known routes frequented by wild dogs, and these are laid by vehicle, helicopter, horseback, and on foot with additional traps set in this area aimed at trapping this particular problem dog. “This program costs in excess of $100,000 annually in the Paupong and Numbla Vale area alone. “Our NPWS dog trapper has also been working with neighbours to stake out paddocks to try and shoot this problem dog. Our staff are in regular contact with landowners and will continue to do all they can to address this issue in the Numbla Vale area. “The Livestock Health and Pest Authority (LHPA) has also contributed some Dog Trapper time to work with NPWS Trappers to ensure that all that can be done is being done to address the problem�, Ms O’Brien said.

Molloy and Crimmins win elite classes The RedAss NSW/ACT Downhill State Championships were held in Lithgow on the weekend and more than 160 riders competed on the “Pony Express� track, home of the Central Tablelands MTB Club. Lithgow’s Under 19’s title defender Joel Willis won again and Andrew Crimmins from Bredbo and Tegan Molloy are the new 2013 Elite State Champions. Last year’s elite winners Graeme Mudd and Sarah Booth from Newcastle both come in second place. After windy practice conditions on Saturday, a warm and calm race day awaited the competitors of the 2013 RedAss Downhill State Championships on the weekend in Lithgow. Organisers Rocky Trail Entertainment had summoned downhill racers from all over NSW and the ACT with interstate visitors from QLD also attending the event. It was two riders from the Snowy Mountains region, Andrew Crimmins from Bredbo and Tegan Molloy from Jindabyne who clocked in the fastest elite race times of the day. Crimmins has eyes on World’s stage The only 16-year old Andrew Crimmins has been building up his racing skills and counts the Elite Downhill State Championship title and his current State Series lead as his biggest recent achievements. “My big goal for next year is to race some of the UCI events�, Crimmins said. Racing the entire RedAss NSW/ACT Downhill State Series, he added, had provided him with ideal conditions

and a great variety of race tracks to be selected for the Australian National Junior Team to compete overseas in 2014.

“It was very dusty today and some of the track sections got a bit blown out – that caught out many riders and it was a challenge to deal with the changing track conditions. No I’m looking forward to the series finale at Awaba MTB Park in November, which will be another tough track for us�, said Crimmins, who is expected to secure the overall Downhill State Series win later in the year. Crimmins won in Lithgow ahead of last year’s State Champion Graeme Mudd from Newcastle and Ben Cory from Canberra. Fellow Thredbo rider Tegan Molloy took out the Elite women’s title ahead of Sarah Booth from Newcastle and Michelle Crisp from Sydney. The 17-year old is adding this win to her commendable achievements this year, including a Junior Women’s third place at the UCI World Championships in South Africa and a podium placing at the UCI Downhill World Cup at Fort William. “First I’m finishing up school now and then I want to keep training and racing in Australia and overseas�, said the talented rider about her future plans. Molloy added that she will be ready to defend her Lithgow title at next year’s Downhill State Championships, which will be held on her home track in Thredbo in April.

Soaring above it all at Bunyan - Sarah Kleven If you travelled on the Monaro Highway last week you may have spotted some of the gliders that had taken to the skies around Bunyan. These gliders were part of the Canberra Gliding Club’s annual ‘Wave Camp’ event, which was held at Bunyan Airfield from September 21-27. The event ran over the entire week and attracted pilots from all over the country including QLD, NSW, SA, VIC and the ACT. The Monaro Post made the venture out to Bunyan Airfield last Tuesday to take some photos of these majestic gliders and were lucky enough to be invited for an impromptu joy flight. Not only a joy flight, but a joy flight with the experienced Sydney pilot Paul Tridgell in his new India X-ray Zulu glider with an engine, a glider that we are told many pilots at the camp were very eager to get a ride in. The flight was a once in a lifetime experience and it became clear to us as to why these pilots are so

passionate about flying. The conditions are so good for gliders on the Monaro that the Canberra Gliding Club runs the eight-day wave camp every September from its Bunyan Airfield for enthusiasts to learn to fly. The high altitude and hilly conditions here harness the wind billowing off Australia’s highest mountain range and numerous records have been achieved as a result. The gliders regularly fly above 6000 metres; local pilot Rick Agnew achieved the Australian altitude record in a glider when he reached 10,000 metres here in 1995. Canberra Gliding Club Captain Stuart Ferguson said they had close to 40 pilots registered for this year’s event; all hoping for that magical wave to take them high enough to beat Mr Agnew’s record. This type of event is unique in Australia. “There are only two other Wave Camps held in Australia but these are small club events,” Mr Ferguson said. The reason Cooma-Monaro is ideal for this event is because

of what is known as the ‘Snowy Mountains Wave Soaring Area’. In layman’s terms these are absolute ideal high altitude conditions for gliding. Staff from the Cooma Visitors Centre attended the official opening of the event and provided special ‘Welcome to Cooma packs’ to the pilots and their families. This is a great way for local businesses to make contact with these visitors. The camp provides a nice little boost to the town, especially during a fairly quiet time of year with the snow season all but finished. Pilots and their families stay in Cooma accommodation and both the club and individuals buy food, fuel and other resources in Cooma during this weeklong event. This particular event is for qualified pilots only, however there is also limited Joy Flight and Trial Instructional flights available by prior arrangement with the club.

Cannell’s team wins fours by a point Cycling Lake Burley Griffin The first of Cooma Bowling Club’s Majors, the Men’s Fours Championships, commenced on Saturday in what can only be described as, not pleasant conditions for bowls. Alan Crowe, Bob Douglass and Richard Nichols were skipped by John Schoon. They were up against Ron Wainwright, Tom Reed and Geoff Venables who were skipped by Gordon Cox. John’s team could only manage to win five of the 16 ends played and were convincingly beaten by a more confident and structured team. The other Saturday game saw Jason Thompson, Peter Caldwell and Paul Schulz skipped by Wayne Lodge, playing Tony Brooks, Stephen Seears and Ross Russell skipped by Mel Storta. This game was even for the first four ends then Mel’s team was stuck on four shots for the next nine ends which had them trailing by 15 shots. They were never able to recover from here and Lodgie’s team ran out comfortable winners 26– 11. Sunday was a lot better weather wise and the semi-finals commenced. In the first game Cox’s team were up against Paul Cannel’s team which included Sergio Roncelli, Mike Manille and John Vincent. By end four the Cox held a six shot lead, Paul’s team then whittled away the lead and by end 12 had tied the game up at 13 each. They continued to their momentum and by end 17 had an eight shot lead and then the last few ends were evenly shared for Paul’s team to record a nine shot victory 23 – 16. The second semi was played between the Wayne Lodge team and Jack Sajina, Neil McGregor and Kim Weston who were skipped by Mark Buckley. Lodgie’s team got out of the blocks pretty well and by end 11 had established an eight-shot break. The next six ends were shared and by end 17 they still held the eight shot advantage. Not to be outdone, Buckley’s team picked up nine shots over the last four ends to get home by the

narrowest of margins 20 – 19. The final between Paul Cannell’s team and Mark Buckley’s team promised to be a nail biter and lived up to expectations. By end 10 each team had won five ends and there was one shot in the game. On end 11 Paul picked up five shots to put his team in front by six shots, then the comeback began. Over the next seven ends Mark’s team was able score 10 shots to four and at end 19 it was all tied up at 17. The last two saw an end won by each team and at the end of regulation ends the game was tied at 18 each. This required the playing of an extra end and after some great bowls played by all players, Paul’s team was able to score the required shot and win the Fours Championship by the narrowest of margins 19 – 18. A great game all around and sweet revenge to Paul who was defeated by Mark two weeks earlier in the Mixed Pairs by the same margin. Saturday social saw eight players brave the conditions and Max Povey and Paul Cannell took on Mike Manille and Sergio Roncelli. In what should have been a close game, Mike and Sergio proved far too strong and won 28 – 10. The other social game was an all girls game between Mary Phillips and Daphne Buckley against Dawn Russell and Renate Winckel. This was a reasonably close game for the first 10 ends then Mary and Daphne put the foot down and raced away to a comfortable win 22 – 7. Sunday saw only one game of social bowls (please come back all you social bowlers), Simon Schoon, Renate Winckel and Nelson Wallace played Daphne Buckley, Richard Nichols and Denis Steinfort. At one stage Denis’ team led by 10 shots only to see Nelson’s team pick up a five to narrow the gap. Denis’ team then scored nine shots to five over the concluding ends to run out comfortable winners 24 – 15.

Old hands take the honours Cooma Golf Report by Garry Atkinson As the warmer weather fast approaches, golfers are getting the clubs out of the garage and gearing up for spring golf. With fields starting to swell it has been the regular golfers that have made the winners circle over the past week despite incredibly strong winds on Saturday. Regular players like Phil Patricks, Simon Allen, George Froeschl, Dieter Seubert and Alex Childs have all hit form as the course greens up and the recently cored greens gradually get back to normal. So let’s recap the weekend of golf. On Saturday, a single stableford event saw solid scores and strong fields. David O’Brien (visitor from Mollymook Golf Club) won the day with 40 points from Dieter Seubert with 39 points. Ball comp winners went down to 29 points (that’s how hard the course was in the wind). Nearest the pin on the fourth was Dave Paterson and on the 11th Heikki Evans (great form player of late). The A grade longest drive on the 15th (with an absolute sizzler) went to long hitting Chris Brown. B grade was won by Prawit Prakotasung and C grade was taken out by the wind as no C grader hit the fairway. On Sunday players competed in a single

stableford with the Sunday regular George Froeschl winning the day with a strong 39 points from junior Alex Childs on 38 points. Ball winners went down to 34 points. Nearest the pins went to Peter Smith on the 9th and Phil Patricks on the 17th. Last Wednesday the competition was a single stableford medley in three grades. A grade winner was Phil Patricks with a great round of 41 points. B grade was taken out by Simon Allen with 36 points and C grade was won by Sam Scarlett with a round of the day 44 great points. Ball winners went down to 33 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth was taken out by Bart Joseph and on the 17th Phil Patricks was the closest. Finally congratulations to the course committee, a dedicated band of volunteers and Ben for the work being done around the course. Plenty of rough being tidied up and the greens cored for the year. The course will be in tip top shape for the club championships and Cooma Open events coming up in October/ November. Good golfing everyone and see you on the greens.

This was followed by a one year break and then the event was resurrected and run under the Cooma Car Club banner. The organisers continue to be Ross and Owen Johnson. The rally is very popular amongst motorcycle participants, as it is one of the very few motorcycle rallies on the East Coast that caters for pre -1949 bikes. The rally participants also love the Snowy Mountain roads and scenery, and in particular the homemade morning tea and lunch provided on Saturday. So far, there have been more than 35 entrants for this year’s rally, from all over Victoria and NSW. Last year there were about 50 bikes with entrants from as far away as Brisbane. There are a number of entrants that have been coming since the inception of the rally 19 years ago. One entrant who is in his 90s and

granddaughter and great grandson are going to ride in the sidecar. The oldest bike entry in the last few years was manufactured in 1914.
