City med students in the bush

Last week a group of medical students from the Australian National University spent time in Cooma and district to experience medicine in the bush. After a civic reception at Cooma-Monaro Shire Council Chambers on Monday night, they spent the afternooon in the country, starting at Ross and Liz Sherlock’s property ‘Kia Ora’, then seeing a sheep dog demonstration. The group heard first hand what farmers do and how they live. The students are pictured at ‘Kia Ora”. See full story page 6.

Less than four weeks old and Georgia Rose Collins can already lay claim to something most of us will never experience in our lives – a cuddle from her great-great grandmother. It’s not often that you have five generations of women all living in the one country town let alone five generations of women still alive in one family. This family of women will definitely have a lot of mums to fuss over this Mother’s Day. Georgia Rose Collins was born on March 15 this year to Brooklin Harwood and Matthew Collins.

She is a tiny baby despite arriving a week late at 5 pounds, 13.5 ounces and 46 centimetres long. Her grandparents are Greg and Christine Collins, Tracey Milliner and Greg Morris and John Harwood. The family first arrived in Cooma in 1976 when Tracey and her mother Monica moved to Cooma. Josie and her late husband, Tom, moved to Cooma in 1989 from Bega. As the five generations are all still going strong perhaps the next goal for the family is six generations. But they have a while to prepare for that; first they have many milestones to look forward to, as newborn Georgia Rose Collins grows up.

ANU med students experience country life Last week 35 first year medical students from the Australian National University (ANU) had the chance to experience rural life, when they travelled to Cooma to take part in the university’s medical school rural week program. The students took part in a range of activities in and around Cooma, throughout the week, to introduce them to what it is like to be a doctor in a rural town. Another aim of the program is to perhaps entice them to practice as a doctor in Cooma when they complete their studies or “marry them to the land,� as Dr Robert Wiles might say. The students were welcomed with a civic reception at the Cooma Monaro shire council chambers on Monday evening where they met some of Cooma’s leading community members. Cooma welcomed the students with country hospitality and many of the students said that they were surprised at how friendly everyone in the community was towards them. The group was treated to everything that the Snowy Mountains has to offer, including lunches made by Cooma’s CWA and Lions Club, an emergency operations talk, Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre tour, clinical visits, a life on the land and farm OH&S talk hosted by Ross and Liz Sherlock, sheep dog demonstrations and a picnic lunch at the top of Mt Kosciuszko. “It’s really nice to get away from the bookwork and teaching to get some practical experience. I like the sound of rural medicine because it’s a challenge. You have to be a generalist not a specialist,� explained Maryon Jones one of the first year medical students. This is the eighth year that the rural week program has taken place and it is certainly something that will continue, because of its success every year. Every student but one in the program this week is from a metropolitan background and so much of what they experienced last week was

incredibly eye opening and new to them. As Ross Sherlock took the group on a tour of his property ‘Kia Ora’ the students were amazed and definitely enjoyed seeing a farm firsthand, which they may not have otherwise seen if it wasn’t for the program. They watched in awe as Mr Sherlock drenched and sheared sheep and showed off his skills with his old hand shears. Dr Wiles stressed that a doctor must know their community and if the students were to become rural doctors they need to understand rural life. From what the students said, they have thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the week was a complete success. Cooma currently has three third year medical students spending a year in our community as they learn and study. These students were once on the ANU Medical School Rural Week, which goes to show the program is definitely successful in enticing students to become a rural doctor. Dr Wiles thanked community members for their help and enthusiasm in making the program happen. “The only reason I can keep doing this is because I’ve got a fantastic community behind me,� he explained. Hopefully in the future we will see some of these first year medical students back and working in our community once they finish their study.

Council approves LEP after some debate Cooma-Monaro Shire Council has approved its draft Local Environment Plan (LEP), which will now be forwarded to the NSW Department of Planning for approval. The plan was accepted at a special meeting of council, which attracted a full gallery. Most of the 73 items were passed without comment, however there were some contentious matters which councillors discussed at length. Council has agreed to allocate funding to enable investiggative planning for land uses to the north of the shire One of these was the reclassification of community land, inclusion three parks in Lloyd Avenue, Adams Avenue and Yareen Road. The reclassification had been the subject of a public meeting in

February and had caused considerable public comment. Residents did not want the land reclassifiation as they felt this would lead to the land being sold off. When the item arose, Cr Martin Hughes spoke against the motion to reclassify, saying small green spaces within the town were very useful for resident. He was supported by Cr Winston Phillips OAM, who said his concern was community perception. He related an incident of previous years, where council was criticised for its care of cemeteries and public halls. He said council at that time had had to work with the communities involved to resolve the situation and believed this was a similar situation. An amendment was put an carried which then became tem option,

which was carried six votes to one. There was debate over a request for the LEP to require a banning on motorcycle use within 1km of any dwelling and to be prohibited on any property less than 80ha. The recommendation was that no changes be made to allow this. Cr Phillips spoke against the recommendation, saying that people who purchase small hildings to have peace and quiet should be allowed to maintain that amenity and not be subject to neighbours’ continual motorbnke nuisance through noise and dust. He said there were some instances were people ride motorbikes around their properties for five of six hours a day, annoying their neighbours. He asked how the situation

Letter to Coma-Monaro Shire mayor Dean Lynch Re: Noise and Landcare issues surrounding motorbike activity in residential areas Mayor Lynch, I believe that this letter speaks for the many who continue to be vilified under current legislation relating to the above problem. Last night (March 25), you were in an influential position to introduce compromise and take the positive steps towards a resolution to an ongoing problem for both parties. You could have supported a move for a reasonable amendment and at least given some credence of support to the plausible, poignant and legal facts raised by Cr Winston Phillips. Instead, I believe in this instance, you have abused your position of authority (both as Mayor and Counsellor) by unequivocally endorsing “the bullies to rule the

playground� (whereby the perpetrator has more rights than the victim) and by NOT making any attempt, whatsoever, to explore any other options. Your responsibility to protect the basic rights and amenities of the people in your shire has been blatantly ignored and your actions last night (or inaction?), prohibited any chance of moving forward and commencing some kind of resolution for this long-standing gnawing problem. I implore you to reconsider the possibility of incremental steps to facilitate a more equitable and humane outcome. Lisa Baier Cooma

could be made better. Cr Tony Kaltoum suggested land usage issues could be dealt with through Development Control Plans, not the LEP. Council’s Director of Environment Services, Peter Smith, said the issues of land use conflict arises “all the time�. He said there was other legislation that dealt with offensive noise, such as through Noise Abatement Order from the courts. The issue prompted a number of comments from the public gallery. Cr Phillips said “people who want peace and quiet should have priority over people who want to make noise�. “It’s a land use thing – we need to prevent neighbours creating a bike track on their property which impinges on their neighbours amenity�, he said. Mr Smith said there were no standard definitions which could be used in the LEP to enact such restrictions. He asked how such restrictions would be policed in any case. Cr Kaltoum asked if council could specify a definitions to fit the case. Mayor Dean Lynch asked council for an indication whether

they would support an amendment to the original motion, which was negative. The motion was out to the vote and carried, four votes to three. Another matter relating to heritage listings was also discussed. A total of 22 properties had been recommended by council’s heritage officer to be added to council’s heritage listing schedule. Some property owners had objected to the listing and had asked for their properties to be removed from the list. Cr Bronnie Taylor said the whole heritage listing process had been “unsatisfactory, to say the least�. “We should remove all the properties from the list, clean it up and get the heritage adviser to start again�. Cr Martin Hughes urged caution, saying that as a council they had a responsibility to maintain the heritage of the shire. He said the shire could lose all of its heritage without listings. Cr Taylor said people haven’t been consulted – they need to know the benefits or heritage listing. Cr Phillips agreed “we need to bring the people on board to support the action� he said.

&RXQFLO¡V GUDIW /(3 By way of background, Local Environmental Plans (LEPs) are the principal legal instrument for guiding planning and development decisions at the council level. LEPs allow councils to manage the ways in which land may be used within their shires through zoning and development controls. They are prepared according to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and are approved by the NSW Minister for Planning. At a Special Meeting on Monday, 25 March 2013, council considered submissions made on the draft LEP which was exhibited in the latter part of 2012. These submissions included the outcomes from the public hearing and forums held into a range of community concerns, involving, among other matters, the reclassification of community and operational land, heritage-listed properties, environmental controls, some building controls and provisions for the erection of dwellings and subdivisions. Council's resolutions on the draft will now be referred to the Department of Planning and Infrastructure for Ministerial approval. While this project has been a long time in the making, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council was the lead player in convincing the Planning Minister of the benefits of "averaging" for subdivisions of rural land, which has been a benefit not only to this council but also other rural councils in NSW. Although the pursuit of rural lot averaging took around three years to achieve the desired result, councillors are adamant this was the right decision and in the best interests of our shire. Council can now look forward to the LEP being published in the not-too-distant future, and will now turn its deliberations to reviewing the Development Control Plans which will accompany the new LEP.

But no, it’s still Stygian darkness, requiring unnecessary lights being turned on. It really is time for a referendum on the length of time daylight savings are imposed on NSW residents.

The Postman is also very, very sad that he can’t swim for another six months, unless he goes somewhere there are pools still open.

Time for a fully enclosed pool council!

Some of our locals have been doing very well at the Royal Easter Show this year. It is a testament to the quality of our breeders, our farmers and our local competitors that they have done so well. Congratulations to all. After the recent visit of the Shadow minister for Regional development, The Postman has spoken to a few small business owners about the issues they see holding back development or sustainability in rural areas.

Apart from a lack of confidence, nation-wide, every business had the same issues to deal with, one of the major ones, contact with the Australian tax Office. Apart form the normal length of time callers are kept on hold by the ATO, once a caller reaches a, ATO employee, rather than a recorded message, their frustration continues. It seems very few ATO staff have the slightest concept of the challenges faced by small businesses, especially in relation to Business Activity Statements (BAS). They seem to think it is alright for a small business owner to tie up their phone line while they wait, on hold, thereby killing productivity, stopping customers from contacting the business and generally, costing the business money. Calls to ASIC fall into the same category. So here’s a challenge for candidates in the next Federal election - help small businesses deal with the bureaucracy which are hindering them.

Proposed reclassifcation of community and operational land Editor, Everyone I have spoken to is delighted that Council voted to keep our small parks as “community land” at the Council meeting on Monday 25 March 2013. Thank you to the many people who cared enough to come to the public meeting about the parks on 14 February 2013. And thank you to our councillors for keeping our community land. Our elected councillors have an exceptionally difficult job. For the first time I have seen councillors working close-up. We should be grateful to our councillors for the impressive amount of time and effort that they put in

every week considering the numerous community issues that arise. They do it with no significant financial reward and very little in the way of thanks from the community. I think a positive that Council and staff took from the public meeting was an understanding of how important it is to let the general community know of Council proposals in ordinary language – a summary, articles in the papers and on the radio. Thank you again to those motivated community members and to our councillors. Sarah Wall Cooma

Tourism Infrastructure - Berridale Public Toilet Block Editor, The biggest potential growth industry in our Shire is tourism. Apart from the busy winter season, most categories of visitation are in gradual decline. Tourism Snowy Mountains and the NSW State Government, have a goal of doubling visitation to the whole of the Snowy Mountains over the next few years and are shortly launching an expensive, pre-winter branding and advertising campaign. For the TSM marketing campaign to succeed in an increasingly competitive tourism market, we need to ensure our towns and villages have suitable infrastructure and provide an inviting environment for our guests. Failure to do this means bad word of mouth and poor returned visitation, negating the effectiveness of the marketing campaign. Berridale is the first town in the Shire that our tourists encounter and the first stop for many is the Lions Park and the public toilets, which are currently in an embarrassing/dilapidated condition and are a disgrace, creating an extremely bad initial impression, particularly as the Council Chambers are adjacent the dishevelled facility; and to make matters worse there are no adequate facilities for the many disabled people that visit our Shire. These toilets are the oldest and most used of any in the five towns and are more than overdue for replacement/

renovation. This bad first impression is exactly the opposite of what is required to bring our visitors back to the area. People, who first see how we neglect our Shire, get a poor impression of the area and treat it accordingly, dumping rubbish and vandalising our expensive infrastructure. There is money available for the building of an extension to the Shire Council Chambers, which because of lengthy bureaucratic process, is unlikely to be completed during the present term of Council. It makes sense to use some of this money for the building of a new toilet block, as a sensible investment in the Shire’s premier industry. There is a strong precedent for this as the toilet block in Banjo Paterson Park in Jindabyne was built (after lengthy consideration) using money from the same fund some years ago. In addition, there is grant funding available which Council should, as a priority, be actively pursuing for this and other tourism related projects. This project could be completed using the minimum of the sparsely available funds, but I’m sure the renovated facility will provide an immense, long-term dividend for our Shire. Tony Hayes President of the Berridale Chamber of Commerce

Snowy River Alliance wants seat on committee The Snowy River Alliance seeks a seat on the proposed, Snowy Advisory Committee to sit alongside other key players, the NSW Office of Water, Snowy Hydro and other nominees. The Snowy River Alliance has an enduring relationship with the Snowy River, far longer than the corporatised entity Snowy Hydro or most employees at the NSW Office of Water.’ Spokesperson for the Snowy River Alliance Acacia Rose said ‘it is imperative for a seat at the table for the Snowy River Alliance on the proposed Snowy Advisory Committee and also, the Snowy Water Technical Advisory Group. Further, the Snowy River Alliance seeks the full protection and funding of the key Snowy Scientific Committee.’ ‘David Harriss from the NSW Office of Water is keen to support Snowy Hydro being a part of the Snowy Advisory Committee’ Ms Rose said, ‘however, he has not expressed a similar interest in a seat at the table for the Snowy River Alliance.’ ‘It is important for broad community representation for the Snowy River Catchments and the Snowy River communities that extend from Mt Kosciuszko to Marlo on the Victorian Coast and from Mt Kosciuszko through the MIA and the MDB to Adelaide on the Coorong on the South Australian Coast.’ Vice Chair for the Snowy River Alliance Vickii Wallace said ‘this representation must include the Snowy River Alliance. The Alliance has a long record of community

membership from around the Snowy Mountains reflecting a mix of recreational, business, council, environmental and scientific understanding and skills. It was the Alliance that pushed the Governments of the day to hold the Snowy River Inquiry, which was the first move to protect the river since those same Governments dammed it in 1969.’ ‘The Snowy River restoration project has been viewed internationally as a template of how governments, scientists and the public can come together for environmental success. A retreat from this position makes a mockery of what has currently been achieved and puts in jeopardy the public money which is in excess of $500milion dollars which has invested in projects associated with the restoration of this river,’ she said. Ms Wallace said ‘The Snowy Water Technical Advisory Group and Snowy Advisory Committee, must be accountable and have credibility to us, the Australian people. It must not simply be a way for the NSW Government to ride roughshod over science, the environment and communities in the guise of better governance and outcomes for the Snowy. For anyone who has any understanding how political interference has compromised better outcomes for the restoration of the Snowy this is another prime example. Once has to ask could it be another page in the way Governments have sought to pursue their own agenda items, to sell Snowy Hydro, or reduce overheads to meet their own

The primary division of the tournament was a “Swiss� style competition with all players competing in seven rounds. The secondary division was a round robin style where all players competed against each other.

EPA GRANT FUNDING APPROVED Council’s Environmental Services Division has successfully applied for funding under the EPA’s Woodsmoke Reduction Program 2013. Once the funds become available they will be used to provide resource and education material to the residents of Cooma. The material is to help residents better operate and maintain their solid fuel heating systems and reduce the impacts of woodsmoke on the community. Best practice to reduce woodsmoke: • Always burn small logs of aged, dry hardwood – unseasoned wood has more moisture which makes a heater smoke. • Store wood under cover in a dry ventilated area; freshly cut wood needs to be stored for eight to 12 months. • Never burn rubbish, driftwood or treated or painted wood, which can pollute the air and can be poisonous. • Use plenty of dry kindling to establish a good fire quickly when lighting a cold fire. • Stack wood loosely in your firebox so that air can circulate – don’t cram the firebox full. • Keep the flame lively and bright; your fire should only smoke for a few minutes when you first light it and when you add extra fuel. • Open the air controls fully for five minutes before and 15-20 minutes after reloading. • Don’t allow your heater to smoulder overnight – keep enough air in the fire to maintain a flame. • Check your chimney regularly – if there is smoke coming from the chimney, increase the air supply to your fire. • Clean the chimney every year to prevent creosote build-up.

The three transfer stations in the Cooma-Monaro Shire are receiving a facelift with new signage being installed. The signs are made of recycled plastic and are highly durable, which makes them able to survive the region’s varying weather conditions. The signs are already in place at Numeralla and Bredbo, with Nimmitabel to follow suit shortly.

COUNCIL STAFF PREPARE FOR THE AFL SEASON When the cricket season concludes the synthetic wicket is covered for the upcoming AFL season to help cushion the impact for players running on the hard ground. The wicket cover is also synthetic, but with longer fibres back-filled with rubber beads to assist impact absorption. The cover weighs approximately 2.5 tonnes and is manoeuvred into position with the use of the tractor and many hands to move the cover into the correct alignment. This extremely labour-intensive task also involves cutting the turf along the edges of the wicket, which enables the recessing of the cover and re-covering with turf to help secure the edges of the cover. The whole operation is then carried out again (in reverse order) at the end of winter when the football season has finished and the wicket needs to to be invited theuncovered Book for the cricket season.

Cooma Library hosted a great morning of learning and socialising when year 10 students from Monaro High School teamed up with library staff and other volunteers last Thursday for Senior’s Week. “The one-on-one tech savvy learning sessions were a great success. Because of the very capable MHS student volunteers, a broad range of areas that seniors were interested in were able to be accommodated” said Pam Veiss, Library Manager. All library patrons were welcomed to enjoy a special ‘retro’ morning to celebrate memories of food-past and Senior’s Week. “We also held our inaugural group information session on how to download free e-books from Monaro Regional Libraries website. This was very popular and we look forward to doing it again” said Pam. If anyone couldn’t make the tech savvy day and would like to be notified of coming events, please contact Cooma Library on 6455 1730 or email library@monaro. nsw.gov.au

Salvos Red Shield Appeal

Captain Louise Nicholson with Red Shield leaders Darrell Gaukroger, Rowena Evans, Wendy Hindmarch and Stephen Rendell. Each year The Salvation Army provides assistance to over one million Australians but to continue to provide high quality community services they need the community’s support. The Red Shield Appeal is the Salvation Army’s major annual fundraising drive to help finance their vast network of social and community services and will be taking place on May 25 and 26. The Salvos need to reach a state doorknock goal of $10.2 million to maintain services as normal. Across the ACT and South NSW region, the doorknock goal is $545,000. Locally in the Cooma –Monaro region the doorknock goal is $20,000. This year there have been a large number of natural disasters, which have placed tremendous demand on Salvation Army frontline services. Not only that but the cost of living continues to increase and this is putting huge financial pressure on individuals and families. Therefore more and more people every year are going to the Salvation Army for help. Last year the Cooma Salvation Army provided 12 beds for the homeless, 605 food vouchers, clothing and blankets to 15 individuals, medical or pharmaceutical help to 11 individuals and Christmas items to 273 individuals. This is a total assistance count of 973, which cost the organisation $35,366. Looking at these numbers it is quite clear that there is a high demand for the services provided by the Salvos and therefore they need all the help they can get to continue providing these services to the community. To reach the Cooma-

Monaro doorknock appeal goal, the Salvos are aiming to mobilise more than 100 volunteer collectors to knock on as many doors as possible in the region over the weekend. Volunteers play a vital role in the doorknock. Volunteering only involves about two to three hours of collecting in teams and the fun, sense of community and sense of achievement definitely makes it all worth it. Volunteers will also receive certificates to record their participation. Louise Nicholson, Captain of the Cooma Salvation Army is encouraging everyone to take part, she’s even encouraging the Cooma Monaro Shire Council to put a team together. “It’s a really good feeling to do something for someone else. I’ve worked in the community service area for a very long time and I’ve seen lives changed in an unexplainable way. It’s really great to see people get their lives back from the depths of despair and help them to feel as if they are a member of society again. That’s what our organisation does. “We want to encourage people to be generous in their gifts – donations are completely tax deductable. We also need more team leaders and extra volunteers to do static collections at Woolworths on a weekend. We currently don’t have any team leaders for Jindabyne or Bredbo so this year we’re looking to cover those areas plus get three more team leaders,” explained Mrs Nicholson. To volunteer in Cooma call 64581798 or leave details at the Salvation Army Family Store

New mobile police command vehicle heading to Monaro The NSW Government has delivered on its $3.5 million election commitment for an additional 25 Mobile Police Command Vehicles – with one of the high-tech vehicles heading to Monaro. The Mobile Command Vehicles provide a high visibility police presence in crime hotspots or high-traffic areas and assist police while they are on the streets. “Mobile Command Vehicles are effectively a mobile police station that officers can use to conduct searches, interviews and execute warrants,� the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said. “When combined with the nearly 300 additional police officers and new powers, the NSW Government is ensuring our police are properly equipped to target antisocial behaviour and tackle crime wherever it occurs. “The new vehicles will be deployed in a range of Local Area Commands across NSW – including the Monaro LAC which is great news for our community. “The rollout of Mobile Command Vehicles is yet another election commitment delivered by this Government.� “The Mobile Command Vehicles will supplement existing police stations and allow police officers to work essentially out of a mobile station anywhere they are needed. “Each command vehicle is equipped with location specific

Other critical reforms to support NSW Police and the community include: • New ‘Move on Powers’ for police and a new offence of ‘Intoxicated and Disorderly’; • New consorting laws, restrictions on bikies in Kings Cross and

crackdowns on tattoo parlours; • The establishment of a new Highway Patrol and Traffic Command and a Police Transport Command; • The rebuilding of PCYCs and the establishment of the ‘eyewatch’ program; • An audit of police resources resulting in 300 additional police deployed to country NSW; • The reform and strengthening of the NSW Crime Commission; • The reform of the Police Death and Disability Scheme and the establishment of an injury management program to get more officers back to work; and, • The reform of the security industry. “The NSW Government will continue to ensure the best possible resourcing for the NSW Police Force to support it in the vital task of keeping the community safe,â€? said Mr Barilaro. “Reports into the Redfern, Macquarie

Fields and Cronulla riots recommend that Police be equipped with these vehicles – we are making sure our officers have the resources they need.� The NSW Police Force has commenced the rollout of the new vehicles – it’s due to be completed by July 2013. The delivery of these vehicles builds on the 47 Mobile Command Vehicles already in operation in NSW.

Helping 16 YOU Prosper Can I afford to Invest? The first question you need to ask yourself is “can I afford not to invest?” Why? You do not need to be wealthy to invest but you do need to invest to wealthy. I know I have said this before. I am just passionate about helping go forward in life, and there is no doubt when people see their financial future on track it makes them much happier in life today whilst securing their future. So what is the numbers, as with all investments and businesses it is all about the numbers? Property investment is no different, sadly too many people get all emotional with property which generally causes new investors to invest poorly, and that normally causes enough pain that causes them to sell up for a loss or break even and never invest again. Back to the numbers, based on where you invest and what type of property and what is your borrowing capacity. You can start with no savings at all, actually most people start with zero savings. How? They utilise their equity in their home or in another property, or their parent’s property. Your own home is a non deductable debt, by not utilising your equity it is like burying that money in your back yard. Why not utilise as little as $20,000 and turn that money into fully deductable debt. You are not losing that money you are transferring that equity into another property and now you have two growth assets working for you. With the correct financial structure your home is completely secure. As the investment property is security for itself. If you do not own a property for equity you can utilise savings, based on your budget the deposit and costs can be easily calculated. Everyday Australian’s can invest and if they invest wisely they can duplicate out of the investment properties equity and buy a second and repeat this duplication over and over again and easily own 6 houses in 10 years. The power of compounding capital growth is the answer to real wealth, it is not rocket science it is just growth on growth!

Snowy River Real Estate: helping young families take their first steps in buying property

A significant number of young families are taking full advantage of all that the Snowy River Shire has to offer, deciding to make the region their home. It seems though, before education, medical and lifestyle services, first and foremost on the list of the area’s benefits to young families, is affordable housing prices. Patrick Sacco, Director of Snowy River Real Estate has witnessed the influx of families first-hand having sold a large number of both low and medium cost houses in the recent months. “Affordable houses are attracting young buyers; it’s especially good to see because now, economically speaking is an excellent time to buy property,” says Patrick. As a real estate agent, Patrick understands the importance of helping first-time/young buyers overcome both the usual and unusual hurdles of buying a property. “Buying property can actually be a lot of fun, it doesn’t have to be stressful” Patrick says “I like to stay abreast of each sale to make sure the process runs smoothly. If I can ensure a new purchaser has a positive first experience they will be more confident when buying property in the future”.

Hunt around before putting all your eggs in one lender’s basket Have you found your dream property and are now in the position to hunt for the right home loan for you? If so, before deciding to put all your eggs in the one lender’s basket, it is a good idea to consider a range of loan and lender options. National mortgage broker, Mortgage Choice encourages borrowers to shop around for their home loan needs instead of simply settling with a lender they know or already have an existing relationship with. Local Mortgage Choice franchise owner/mortgage broker, Donna Robson said, “Despite there being a vast range of lenders and loan

are plenty of times when lesserknown lenders, that may not be top of mind for everyday banking needs, offer a superior home loan deal. Borrowers could be missing out on a more affordable loan that has features better suited to them. “When settling on a home loan it is important to determine if the lender’s offering is competitive. A professional mortgage broker can help borrowers compare loans from a wide range of lenders based on the loans’ interest rate, fees, features, flexibility, and the lenders’ customer service performance. Good mortgage brokers will also highlight any rate discounts and special offers that 9 GERINGA AVE, COOMA may be available. putting 3 BED, 2 BATH, 1 CAR all “While your eggs in the one basket and getting a home The property is brick and timber on two levels. loan with the A timber walkway gets you to the top level lender you already from the Street.

and their loan offers: 1. How competitive are the lender’s interest rates? Research if the lender has cut their home loan rates in-line with the Reserve Bank’s recent rate moves. Compare their rates to other lenders’ offerings. 2. Do their fees add up? Ask your broker to compare how the lender stacks-up in terms of the fees and charges on the loan (eg. for loan features, transactions, late penalties, early repayments, top ups etc.). 3. Do they offer the features you need? Check that the lender offers a loan with reasonably priced features that will benefit you today and tomorrow (eg. offset account, redraw facility, etc.) 4. How accessible is the lender? If online chat, phone support or branch access on weekends is high on your list of priorities, investigate whether the lender, or an alternative lender, offers such facilities. 5. Can the lender meet your changing needs? Explore your options further to know if the lender offers a wide range of loan options to suit you, should your personal or financial situation change (eg. if you need a loan top up, access to funds for renovations or you wish to refinance an existing loan).

As the cold weather approaches – Consider heating your home with wood What better way to heat your home than with a wood heater. At a time when people are seeking refuge from the ever increasing cost of living, heating your home with wood makes a lot of sense. Costs of electricity and gas continue to rise while wood heating remains the cheapest and most efficient form of heating your entire home. Wood heating delivers the lowest carbon footprint – particularly when firewood is sourced from a sustainably managed forest. The Australian Home Heating Association (AHHA) urges homeowners to have their flue cleaned and to use their wood heater correctly. Proper flue maintenance reduces build up of creosote. Use well seasoned firewood, purchased from a reputable supplier for comfortable and welcoming warmth in your home. If you are purchasing a wood

heater, always ensure the wood heater has been tested to the Australian Standards and holds a current Certificate of Compliance. For more information check the AHHA web site: http://www. homeheat.com.au/certified.php Wood Heating - Tips for Better, cleaner burning 1. Burn only dry, well seasoned wood 2. Allow full air for 15-20 minutes after each addition of wood 3. Use kindling wood and firelighters to get the fire started 4. Never use petrol, kerosene or oil to start the fire 5. Don’t close air supply totally overnight, a little air avoids a lot of smoke. Who wants to feel cold when you could be basking in the glorious warmth of a dancing flame – and it makes environmental sense? Naturally better – heat your home with wood.

Flue clean, dry wood and proper use set to make Winter warmer Correct use of wood heaters provides the most pleasant heat and is also the cheapest form of heating as well as being better for the environment. Most people enjoy a wood fire but don’t realise it’s the most environmentally responsible form of heating, Australian Home Heating Association (AHHA) General Manager Demi Brown said. “Wood heating delivers the lowest carbon footprint of any form of home heating when the firewood is sourced from sustainably managed forest�. At a time when costs of gas and electricity are constantly on the rise, wood heating remains the cheapest and most efficient form of domestic heating. But Ms Brown urges home owners to have their flue cleaned annually and use their heater correctly. A FREE DVD is available from the AHHA National Office.

Proper flue maintenance reduces woodsmoke and reduces build up of creosote. “Get a chimney sweep in, operate your heater properly and use dry, well seasoned firewood and with today’s modern heaters, you will see very little smoke and particulate emissions will be minimised,� she said.

Gas heating and safety issues Gas heaters need to be looked after. An unsafe or faulty heater can cause serious problems. Health problems that seem worse, or only occur when the heating is on, may be caused by carbon monoxide from a faulty gas heater. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can include shortness of breath, headaches, dizziness, nausea and chest pain. High levels of carbon monoxide can cause unconsciousness and death.Gas heaters need to be professionally installed and properly looked after, such as by a qualified and registered service agent or gas heating specialist. An unsafe heater can cause a house fire or pollute your home with dangerous fumes. If you have your heater regularly serviced and use it correctly, it should be safe and economical to use. Servicing gas heaters Professional servicing, including inspection of the flue or chimney, is recommended. You should get your heater serviced: • Immediately if there is any sign of trouble. • Every two years (before the winter heating season), or more often if recommended in the appliance manufacturer’s instructions. How to arrange servicing Manufacturers and suppliers usually have recommended service agents. You can use these if you wish. You can also enquire with your gas company or check the Yellow Pages (under ‘’h’ for heating). If you do obtain a gas heating specialist from the Yellow Pages, ensure that they are a licensed gasfitter endorsed for gas appliance servicing. Do-it-yourself cleaning Beyond regularly having the heater serviced by a service agent, the following limited cleaning of the heater can be done by the owner to reduce odours or fumes: • Vacuum out any duct registers as necessary (the register is the central heating duct opening in each room, which can be seen when the cover grill is lifted). • Leave the cleaning of filters and fans on gas heaters to licensed gasfitters. How to use a gas heater safely – what you should do Always follow the operating instructions on the appliance or in the manual if you have one. You should always: • Have plenty of ventilation – never seal up doorways, windows or vents.

Ventilation is very important as it allows fresh air to come in and fumes to go out. • Prevent young children and elderly people from touching very hot surfaces. The normal dress guard only protects against accidental clothing contact. • Be careful when drying clothes inside – keep all flammable materials at least one metre away from the heater. What you should NOT do: • Never use an unflued gas heater in a bathroom, bedroom or caravan. Toxic gases may cause serious health problems in these situations. • Never use or store solvents, aerosols or pressure pack cans near a gas heater – even if the heater is turned off, the pilot light may still be on. • Never dispose of rubbish such as tissues, cotton buds or other things in a gas fire – this can affect combustion and produce dangerous pollutants. • Never use an outdoor appliance inside (this includes barbeques, patio heaters). Signs of trouble A faulty gas heater can cause serious problems. Health problems that seem to be worse, or only occur when the heating is on, may be caused by carbon monoxide from a faulty gas heater. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include: • Tiredness • Shortness of breath • Headaches • Dizziness • Nausea • Weakness • Confusion • Chest pain. High levels of carbon monoxide are very dangerous and may cause people to pass out or even die. If you suspect you may be affected by carbon monoxide, open windows and doors, turn off the appliance and go outside to fresh air. See your doctor and ask whether your symptoms may be related to carbon monoxide. When to check your gas heater Your heater needs to be checked if: • There is a yellow or sooty flame (unless it is a decorative gas log fire). • The pilot light goes out unexpectedly, or ‘pops’ or ‘bangs’ when lighting. • There are signs of heat damage such as discoloration of the walls or heater panels. • The walls become too hot to touch while the heater is on. •There are soot stains around the heater. Replace an out-of-date gas heater Heaters do not last forever. • Old heaters – some heaters cannot be repaired for safety reasons and,

sometimes, spare parts are not available for older heaters. If your heater is very old (around 15 to 20 years), it may not be possible or worthwhile for your service person to repair it. • Old unflued gas heaters – (only allowed by law in homes supplied by an LPG (liquid petroleum gas) cylinder or tank if they meet strict installation requirements.) These heaters do not meet current emission standards. You should consider replacing these heaters if they are more than 10 years old, or you feel that your health is being affected by them. By law, an existing flueless LPG space heater must only be replaced by an LPG flueless heater that meets very stringent emission conditions.

Three extra safety tips • Always ensure that a patio heater is stable or fixed. • Never use or store a gas cylinder indoors. • Never use an industrial heater in a domestic situation. Where to get help • Department of Health Tel. 1300 761 874 • Your local doctor • Licensed gasfitter Things to remember • If you service your heater regularly and use it correctly, it should be safe and economical to use. • Some older heaters cannot be repaired for safety reasons and should be replaced.

Cooma calf selling season begins The annual calf selling season began with the Easter break, but calves started at $635 for Landmark’s sale at Cooma last Wednesday. well-grown Hereford steers. A good quality yarding saw prices well down on Pictured on this page, Landmark staff on the previous years, due probably to the dry conditions catwalk and lanes full of buyers, across the state. Sales continue in Cooma this week and in Cooma Full details of the sale were not available due to and Bombala next week.

Every dog has its day It is no secret that Australian farmers rely heavily on their working dogs to carry out stock work economically and efficiently. The value of these dogs was highlighted last year with the record sale of a kelpie for $12 000 at the Casterton Working Dog Auction. Such successful dogs are undoubtedly the result of the work of skilled dog breeders, trainers and handlers. However, to date, these dogfolk have not enjoyed the benefit of scientific research to support their work. Although scientific studies have been used extensively to advance livestock breeding and production, these principles have not been applied to working dogs – until now.

51st ANNUAL CALF SALE THURSDAY, 11th APRIL, 2013 COOMA SALE YARDS Entries are now being received and recommended

Tim Schofield – 0428 526 733 Rob Nicholl – 0428 973 520 Cooma Branch – 6452 1000

Researchers at the University of Sydney’s Faculty of Veterinary Science with the support of the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation, Meat and Livestock Australia and the Working Kelpie Council of Australia, have recently embarked on a project to analyse ways of improving breeding, training and performance success in working dogs. Although the ultimate goal is to identify DNA markers for valuable working traits, the first step is to find out what dogs are out there, how they live and work and what traits farmers value in their dogs. To gather this data, the researchers are inviting working dog users across Australia to participate in The Farm Dog Survey. All working dog users

are encouraged to take part including farmers with single working dogs, producers with multiple dogs, cattle and sheep dog triallers, saleyard employees and small or large scale breeders. By participating you will be assisting the researchers to find ways to minimise the time and resources wasted on unsuccessful dogs and you will also have the opportunity to win a share in working dog dry food valued at $1000. To participate follow the link to the Farm Dog Survey or if you are unable to access the survey on-line please request a reply-paid paper copy by phoning 0467 347 283. For more information on the Farm Dog Project visit the University of Sydney website.

Grow Local – Food, not Lawns In line with the Grow Local theme for International Permaculture Day, Canberra region’s Permaculture Exchange is running a two-day course at the Comma Community Gardens, an Introduction to Permaculture on May 18 and 19. If you’re tired of pouring water and energy into gardens that give you nothing in return, now is the time to learn how to grow food, not lawns. This course gives you the opportunity to learn how to design beautiful backyard systems that not only look great, are sustainable, but actually grow food for you, your family and friends. Permaculture originated in Australia, and the twoday course on focuses on practical implementation as well as the theory behind permaculture – the history, principles, design skills and things that make permaculture ‘happen. Permaculture eXchange shows you what you can do in a suburban backyard or small-scale acreage property, and it’s not just for home owners, solutions for renters and those living in apartments with only a balcony area are included too! Permaculture is is equally applicable to urban, rural and community situations. Nick Huggins of Permaculture eXchange says “At a time of

incredible variations in rainfall and severe weather conditions, I believe that permaculture is the best training for both urban and rural regeneration including water security and carbon sequestration design and regeneration principles.� The focus for all Permaculture eXchange courses is on regenerative systems with local application, being the cool temperate climate of the local bioregion. “The Cooma Community Gardens is a great venue� says Huggins “and what better time to introduce permaculture than when you can start planning for spring.� 2013 courses are planned in Canberra, Cooma, Wagga Wagga, Goulburn and Braidwood with Permaculture Design Certificate courses at Lanyon Homestead in Tharwa. COURSE DETAILS Course: Introduction to Permaculture Date: 18 and 19 May Location: Cooma Community Gardens Price: Early Bird $165, Standard Price $195 Bookings: www.permacultureexchange.org.au

Grain overload in stock The Livestock Health and Pest Authorities (LHPA) is warning livestock producers to be aware of grain overload in their stock. Sometimes referred to as grain poisoning, it’s a common problem for cattle and sheep producers, especially in times of dry weather when paddock feed deteriorates and diet is supplemented with grain. Grain feed is also often introduced to ewes when their nutritional requirements increase as they approach lambing, making them more susceptible to grain overload. “Grain overload will cause sickness and even death in stock, so it’s important that producers take measures to prevent it where possible,� said LHPA Senior District Veterinarian Greg McCann. “Stock should be checked regularly for signs of grain overload, which in cattle includes bloated stomach, diarrhoea, a sore abdomen and

often sore feet. Depression, lack of appetite, scouring and lameness are typical symptoms in sheep�. The sickness is caused by an excess of lactic acid in the rumen as a result of a sudden abundance of soluble starch in the diet. While you can treat it, prevention is the best way to ensure it doesn’t affect your stock. “There are several things producers can do to prevent it from occurring in the first place, which is preferable to treating it after the fact. Introducing grain gradually over a two-week period and making gradual changes to rations is the best preventative measure,� said Dr McCann. “It’s also important that when the types of grain used are changed that this is done gradually by mixing in the new grain over a fortnight�. For more information about livestock nutrition, including grain overload, please contact your local district veterinarian.

Boost in cost of living support for Eden-Monaro’s pensioners The Federal Government has announced a pension increase. Member for Eden-Monaro Dr Mike Kelly said more than 28,000 local pensioners are now receiving an increase in their pension as well as the new Clean Energy Supplement. Single pensioners on the maximum rate are now receiving an extra $35.80 per fortnight, and pensioner couples on the maximum rate are receiving an extra $54.00 per fortnight combined. The increased total pension payment for people on the maximum rate is now: • $808.40 a fortnight for singles, and • $1218.80 a fortnight for couples combined. “The Federal Government is delivering for our local pensioners because we know they have the least room to move in their budgets,â€? Dr Kelly said. “This boost helps make sure pensioners can keep on top of things when the bills arrive.â€?

Wednesday April 3, 2013

The new Clean Energy Supplement, which is part of the Household Assistance Package, will now be paid fortnightly along with the pension, at a rate of $13.50 per fortnight for singles and $20.40 a fortnight for couples combined. Dr Kelly said Labor’s pension reforms and the new Clean Energy Supplement meant the maximum rate of the single pension was now $207 a fortnight higher than it was in September 2009. “Our Government has delivered the single biggest pension increase in more than 100 years� Dr Kelly said. “In contrast, Tony Abbott has promised to claw back every cent of support Labor is delivering to pensioners under the Household Assistance Package.� The pension increase applies to people receiving the Age Pension, the maximum rate Disability Pension and Carer Payment, as well as veterans’ income support recipients.

&5266:25' Cryptic Clues

Cooma Pony Club welcomes new members, and memberships are currently due. PCA riding membership is $50 and non-riding membership is $30. A club membership fee of $35 is also required. Fees can be paid at the club to the secretary. Riders are reminded that they must have approved riding boots and helmets to ride at Pony Club. At our most recent rally riders participated firstly in a comprehensive warm up in the sand arena with Sally and xcountry preparation with Sarah before a short break for morning tea of home made sausage rolls prepared by Alison. Riders also tried their hand at lasso – with the mounted games cow coming out for a visit. This certainly provided some entertainment for horse and rider. Sarah who was assisted by Tanya took all the riders out on the course

to show the finer points of xcountry riding. Those interested were also shown the art of plaiting in preparation for this weeks show. All riders returned full of enthusiasm and tired – even down to our youngest rider who was found to have had a little nap while riding along with mum leading. Rally days commence with a gear check at 9.30, the rally will start at 10am with troop drill/flat work warm up. Late arrivals will be required to wait until a break in instruction. The club hopes to continue with xcountry instruction in preparation of upcoming events as well as engaging guest instructors throughout the year to instruct on subjects such as polo-crosse, tent pegging, barrel racing, camp drafting, talks from local vet, farrier and dentist are anticipated in an effort to educate riders on the health of their horses.

The South East Regional Academy of Sport (SERAS) held its first netball training camp for 2013 in Canberra on the weekend of March 9 and 10. On Saturday the senior squad of 15 scholarship holders was joined by 13 scholarship holders from the under 15’s squad at the Australian Institute of Sport. Both squads began the morning with a session on footwork and movement. In the afternoon the SERAS girls combined with the Western Region Academy of Sport

netball squad for a session with NSW Institute of Sport Development Coach Sue Hawkins. An inter-academy challenge was held at the Radford College on the second day for scholarship holders in the senior program. The challenge provided the squad an opportunity to have match practice against teams from Southern Academy of Sport and Western Region Academy of Sport. In 2013 SERAS is conducting a 15’s scholarship program in addition

to a senior Netball program. The 15’s squad will undertake two training days before they attend the Netball NSW Development Weekend in Sydney later in the year. The senior squad has a busy year ahead including attending the NIB Games in Maitland during the July school holidays. The senior squad will next meet in April for a training day at the Bermagui Indoor Stadium.

Students on the Run for Funds Snowy Mountains District Womens Bowls Bredbo Public School students will be running in the adidas School Fun-Run to raise vital funds for their school on 12/04/2013. In the coming weeks students will be seeking support from the local community for running the event. Sponsorship from the community is vital to make this fundraiser a success. “The adidas School Fun-Run presents an excellent platform to get students excited about physical activity”, said Leanne Thistleton from Bredbo Public School. “I am very proud of the students for getting involved”. “Bredbo Public School is setting a new standard for other schools to follow by choosing a way to raise money that is supportive of the nutrition in schools policy and delivers positive messages about the importance of physical activity to a child’s healthy growth and development. I think it’s wonderful that organisations such as adidas and CUA are making this style of healthbased school fundraising possible”, said Brendan Hopp, General Manager of The Fundraising Group. Over the last two years, the adidas School Fun-Run has helped schools to raise in excess of $5.6 million to purchase computers, books, sporting equipment and other resources. A further $125,000 in school grants has been donated by program partner CUA through its Community Care initiative

- an extension to the School Fun-Run program. CUA will be running this successful initiative again in 2013. CUA’s Chief Executive Officer, Chris Whithead, said “As Australia’s largest customer owned financial institution, we are passionate about supporting our local communities and the School FunRun program really does deliver positive outcomes for everyone invovled. We are delighted to be involved in 2013 and look forward to another successful year.” All schools participating in the adidas School Fun-Run have a chance to win a Sports Day with the Stars. Eatons Hill State School, raised $27,779 last year and won this special day to have adidas athletes visit their students. Jeff Emmel, National Executive Director of the Australian Council for Health, Physical Education and Recreation (ACHPER) said “the school based event was an ideal way to promote health messages to the community while raising money for the school and ACHPER was delighted to support it. The important thing is that the event allows schools to be flexible in terms of when and how they become involved. It encourages participation and basically students can run, walk or wheelchair the distance”. All schools are invited to participate in the adidas School Fun-Run by visitingwww. schoolfunrun.com.au

On Wednesday in a Major Singles match, Ross Russell had the better of the early ends against Garry Taylor to lead 10/4 after nine ends. Seven shots to five in Garry’s favour put him back in contention on end fourteen, but Ross brought his consistency into play winning five shots over five ends to lead 20/11.

On Good Friday, John Schoon had an early battle with Mark Buckley to lead 4/3 after six ends. Two fours in a row to John put Mark under pressure and gave John the confidence to apply further pressure and lead 20/11 by end seventeen. Mark was only able to add a further three shots to put John into the semifinal 31/20. Paul Cannell made a great start against Mel Storta when he led 17/9 after16 ends.

Fourteen players for Social Bowls on Saturday with two rinks of pairs and one of triples.
