Snowy Hydro inspects Trans-mountain tunnels with submarine An innovative, unmanned submarine that uses sonar technology will now be used by Snowy Hydro to monitor the condition of six trans-mountain tunnels across the Snowy Scheme. The tunnels transfer water from east to the west of the dividing range. Inspecting these tunnels in the past was massive operation, requiring the tunnels to be drained of water, essentially shutting down part of the Snowy Scheme and several power stations. A new high-tech device known as an ‘unmanned underwater vehicle’ (UUV) will now be used to inspect the tunnel’s conditions. Using multi-beam sonar technology, the UUV produces an image of the tunnel wall as it is ‘swims’ through the tunnel. The

operation. Each tunnel inspection can take up to 18 hours to complete. The images produced are assessed by geotechnical experts to gain an understanding of the condition of each tunnel and identify any areas, which may require further investigation. The findings are also correlated with detailed geological mapping to assess the probability of any partial or complete blockages and determine maintenance requirements. Chief Operating Officer of Snowy Hydro Mr Ken Lister said “The use of the unmanned sub for tunnel inspections now means that it can be done more frequently, more safely and without the need to shut down power stations or drain the tunnel. This multi-million dollar investment is a great outcome for the business, for the safety of our people and contractors and is part of our wider program of Scheme upgrades and ongoing maintenance”.

unmanned submarine is almost four metres in length, nearly a metre wide, and weighs over 600kg. The sub is inserted into each tunnel by crane and is directed through the tunnel via remote

Creating Your Financial Freedom There is no better time to start creating wealth than today. Most people think creating wealth means making money. How much you need to accumulate over time comes down to what you want to do with it. What motivates you and what are you trying to achieve. Once you know what you are working towards, you can determine the best ways to achieve them. There is no magic formula to creating wealth easily but with good advice it is more achievable than you think. I believe the best way to get ahead is to work out what you are good at and passionate about and focus on that. If you are successful at this, other things will fall into place.

Saturday was a big day for the Big Trout at Adaminaby, when it was officially ‘relaunched’. After months of hard work preceded by months of effort to raise funds for the sculpture’s facelift, the finished product was unveiled and officially welcomed back into the community. The trout was built in by artist Andy Lomnici and originally unveiled in 1973. The years had not been kind to the structure and so a hard-working committee set to to raise the funds to refurbish the fish. Funds were made available from Snowy River Shire Council, the State Government and through massive fund-raising efforts of the community. The result, $52,000 later, is pictured at right. A person who worked on the original structure ‘Uncle Max’ spoke at the launching ceremony, explaining how the trout was constructed and ‘how hot’ is was inside the fibreglass shell. Pictured at top, the plaque commemorating the day was unveiled by former member for Monaro Steve Whan, Snowy River Shire mayor John Cahill and Member for Monaro, John Barilaro. Pictured below, the committee, which worked so hard to give the fish a new lease of life.

Work starts on Renal Unit Continued from Page 1 It’s hoped the facility will be completed in May next year. Patients in the Cooma region now have greater access to cutting edge ultrasound equipment as the result of a NSW Liberal and Nationals Government grant, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said. Mr Barilaro inspected the Point of Care ultrasound system in operation at Cooma Hospital on Monday, purchased courtesy of the $65,000 grant. “The machine is being used in the

Emergency Department and operating theatres for the identification of sentinel nodes and fine-wire identification of affected nodes,” said Mr Barilaro. “It can also be used in the maternity ward to identify ante-partum haemorrhage and to establish a baby’s position in the womb. “Having a second ultrasound machine means the original machine is free to be utilised by other departments.” In April the NSW Minister for Health Jillian Skinner met with staff at Cooma

Hospital to announce funding for the new piece of equipment. “Along with funding for the Cooma renal dialysis unit and an upgrade to the Cooma nurses quarters, this is another example of the NSW Government delivering upon its commitment to the health of regional communities,” Mr Barilaro said. “The NSW Government is working hard to ensure that our rural and regional communities are able to access modern, quality care.”

Local mayors hopeful of Chinese connection Local mayors Dean Lynch and Bob Stewart have recently returned from a trip to China, where they looked at agritourism business opportunities. Cr Stewart said the trip had been eyeopening and he hoped he would be able to use contacts he made to benefit Bombala Shire. He was very impressed with a large hydroponic plant which was growing vegetables and also very impressed with the hosts which included school children. He said he thought there were possibilities the Monaro could tap into agritourism, especially through educational exchanges. Cr Lynch was similarly impressed. He can see a future for Cooma-Monaro Shire in hosting education exchanges as well. He said the contacts he made on the visit should prove very useful. The mayors were invited to attend the inaugural World Agritourism Development Forum in China on October 24. The forum aimed at developing agritourism within countries and also achieving co-operation in exchanging tourists between countries. Mayors and ambassadors from about 30 countries attended the forum. Cr Lynch was invited by former Bombala local Hugh Kater who is now living in Beijing. 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.

Councils in NSW play a critical role in reducing the serious health hazards of exposure to asbestos for its community. Your Council works jointly with the State Government and the wider public in addressing the inherited legacy and associated risks of asbestos in our building materials, certain infrastructure, contaminated land, and in our work environments. In Australia, asbestos was gradually being phased out of building materials in the early 1980s and the supply and installation of asbestos containing goods has been prohibited since 2004. Yet asbestos materials still exist in many homes, buildings and other infrastructure. It is estimated that one in three Australian homes contains some asbestos. There are many residential, commercial and industrial premises in our Shire which will have materials containing asbestos. This includes, for example, some of Council's older infrastructure, which has been inherited from past developments in Cooma and involves reticulated water supply mains which consist of AC pipes. EPA State experts advise Councils that where material containing asbestos is in a non-friable form, undisturbed and painted or otherwise sealed, it may remain safely in place. However, where asbestos containing material is broken, damaged, disturbed or mishandled, fibres can become loose and air born posing serious risks to health. Breathing in such dust material could cause asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung and associated cancers. Council takes a serious position with asbestos, and under its legislative role has taken appropriate advice and adopted an asbestos policy at its recent 14 October 2013 Council meeting to promote a consistent approach to asbestos management across the Shire. The policy addresses a variety of legislative functions for minimising the risks from asbestos involving, for example, contaminated land and asset management, emergency responses, land use planning, including development approvals, and demolition to management of naturally occurring asbestos, its transportation and illegal dumping of asbestos waste. The policy also addresses appropriate advice to homeowners on how to identify and treat asbestos. The month of November 2013 is being declared as Asbestos Awareness Month and the promotion of the Council policy and the procedures is timely. I encourage all to review the policy and safety considerations which can be found on Councils website www.council@cooma.nsw.gov.au.

International recognition

Jindabyne CWA AGM The recent Annual General meeting for the Jindabyne branch of the CWA was the first to be held during the day. By general consensus, this change in meeting time from the evening to midday was pronounced as being a good move. The thought of not having to play “avoid the kangaroo� on the way home was much appreciated! In her annual report outgoing branch President Carole Morris spoke about the success of the branch’s main event for the year – hosting the Co-Opera’s performance of Die Fledermaus at The Station Resort. It was a terrific evening for which many of the 150 guests either wore evening dress or glamorous 1920’s outfits. Including the raffle, held in conjunction with the Opera, $1500 was raised. The catering prowess of the members (more than cake and scones) was, once again, in high demand throughout the year. Carole thanked

all the office bearers and members for all their hard work during the year 2012/2013. The craft group had achieved much during its first year. Shelia Bollard mentioned the raft of projects they had been involved with: making new covers for the Mums and Bubs floor mats, trauma teddies for the NSW Ambulance service and the local medical centre as well as pillow cases for children in oncology wards to help cheer them up. Shelia was most enthusiastic about the group’s latest project which was to knit and crochet poppies for the upcoming 100th anniversary of the start of WW1. The election of new office bearers saw Dale Whitfield unanimously voted in as President for 2013/2014. Nancy Gant-Thompson is the new branch Secretary and Christiana Kern will be the Treasurer assisted by new member, Michelle Peate.

Dalgety/Numbla Vale CWA new committee Cooma Lions Club members paid tribute to a long-serving member at their dinner last Wednesday. Club secretary Chriss Tucker was presented with the International President, Barry J Palmer’s Certificate of Appreciation, in recognition of distinguished achievements in fulfilling the mission of Lions International. Mr Tucker is pictured with club members.

Elm Cottage a state tourism finalist Following the success in last year’s Canberra and Capital Tourism awards with a win in the ‘Visitor Experience’ and a commendation in the ‘Unique Accommodation’ categories the proprietors of Elm Cottage, Tumut, Deborah and David Sheldon have followed the advice of Canberra and Capital Tourism and entered in both the Canberra and Capital Tourism and the NSW Tourism awards for 2013. Unable to enter the same category in both states David and Deborah chose ‘Unique Accommodation’ for Canberra and ‘Destination Marketing’ for the NSW awards. ‘With the positive feedback we received from the Judges in Canberra and the encouragement we received from local Visitor Services Manager Mark Lees from National Park and Wildlife Services, both Deb and I thought we give it another go. The entire process helps you with your business, a tweak here and there and you can really tighten the ship, We have added to the Elm Cottage experience, things we took for granted mean a lot to our guests, it adds to our uniqueness.’ ‘I believe we are a flagship in the Tumut accommodation sector not only have we maintained our 4.5 accreditation, Elm Cottage is T-Qual accredited and has been fortunate enough to be presented with Trip Advisors top rental property award for 2011 and 2012’, explained David. With the ACT awards night scheduled for November 28, at the National Gallery, both David

Driving small business success

Small businesses in the Southern Inland and Far South Coast can take advantage of high quality business assistance in their local area with the arrival of the Small Biz Bus on 18 November. The Bus will be calling in at Cooma, giving local small businesses operators the chance to meet with business experts for personalised individual advice. “It’s easy to get caught up in the day to day reality of running a business, but speaking to a business expert can help you view your business from a new perspective, and can be an effective sounding board to help you think about problems in a new light,� Yasmin King, NSW Small Business Commissioner said. Services on the Bus are available at no cost to small business operators.

Deborah face a dilemma as they have just received advice from the NSW tourism awards they are also finalists in the ‘Destination Marketing’ category with the award night also scheduled for November 28 at ‘Royal Randwick’. ‘We are tickled pink to make the finals of the NSW awards in such a category, just to be there is an honour within its self, we are up against the big hitters. For the last four years we have been promoting not only Elm Cottage, but the experiences the region has to offer, the Snowy Mountains and the Tumut region as a year round destination. We don’t get recognised locally for the Destination campaigns as all our campaigns are outside the Tumut Region, something the locals just don’t comprehend or even get see, so to be recognised at a state level makes it all worthwhile. To get to this level though we have used as much assistance as possible, partnering with Destination NSW, Tourism Snowy Mountains, NPWS and help with the submissions by The Tilma Group for which we are extremely thankful.’ concluded David.

Pictured, David and Deborah Sheldon from Elm Cottage.

The Bus is an initiative of the NSW Government. The Bus will be at: Monday 18 November, Sharp St, in front of the Cooma Visitors Centre, from 9am to 3pm. To book an appointment on the Bus or to speak to your local Small Biz Connect advisor throughout the year, call South Eastern BEC on 1300 134 359 or go to www. smallbusiness.nsw.gov.au/hop-onthe-small-biz-bus. We would like to thank CoomaMonaro Shire Council for their support and for hosting the Small Biz Bus. The Office of the NSW Small Business Commissioner helps small businesses by providing dispute resolution services, speaking up for small business within government and delivering quality business advice through Small Biz Connect.

BOBEYAN ROAD – BOLARO BRIDGE – MAINTENANCE PROGRAM Following the community meeting held on 3 June 2013, it was requested that the Council’s consider undertaking the bridge repairs works at a time to minimise the impact on business and residents. Cooma-Monaro and Snowy River Shire Councils have undertaken a detailed review of the factors affecting this work, including; • an assessment of the planned flow release into the river, and historical levels indicate that the next period of traditionally lower levels occur in mid-November, • an assessment of the traffic data to ensure the work is undertaken outside peak periods, • a review of alternative routes with the emergency services, and • to ensure the works is completed outside school holidays or public holiday periods. Following this review we were able to identify the November – December period as the key period to minimise the impact on business and residents, this is in-line with the requests made by the community at the meeting. Preliminary minor works will begin on the bridge from Monday the 28 October 2013 with minor construction

delays of up to 20min expected. An onsite community meeting was held on Monday 4 November to discuss the program.

Parents and kids off to a flying start for school More than 100 new parents were welcomed into the Jindabyne Central School (JCS) family last week as their children began the Kindystart program. A total of 68 four and five-year-olds attended the first week of Kindystart, a five week program to prepare children to start kindergarten next year. There were tears for many parents as they left their sons and daughters with teachers for the first time in their child’s life. While their children were busy making new friends and learning about school, the 100plus parents were welcomed to JCS with morning tea, a presentation about preparing their child for school and a fashion parade of school uniforms performed by this year’s kindergarten students. Relieving principal Debbie-Lee Hughes reduced the room of parents to tears when she recited a poem about how a teacher promises to love, nurture and teach a child as if it was their own. Ms Hughes promised parents their children would be given every opportunity to succeed at JCS and reassured rs them their youngsters were in safe hands. es “The opportunities at and experiences that ts are offered to students h at JCS ‌ both ly culturally, academically re and sporting are e second to none,â€? she said

Assistant principals Karen Mugridge and Heidi Shvetsoff informed parents about key learning areas taught in kindergarten, what to pack for a healthy lunch, what they could do to prepare their children for school and many other aspects of school life. “It was a really good orientation as to how everything works in the school,� said Shay Paxton, the father of four-year-old Tessa. “It was very welcoming and comforting knowing the school considers themselves more like an extended family.� Tessa is the eldest of Mr Paxton’s three children and the first to attend school. For Sally Duncan, leaving her five-yearold daughter Matisse at school for the first time was a little overwhelming but she said Matisse loved every moment of Kindystart. “The school seems really approachable,� she said. “I feel very comfortable that if we have any issues the school is happy to discuss them and work them out.� Kindystart runs every Thursday at JCS until November 14.

ALPS at Snowy Mountains Grammar Students in Years 7 to 10 at Snowy Mountains Grammar take part in an Applied Learning Program (ALPS) each year during term 4. This program incorporates elements of the curriculum drawn from various subject areas and applies them specifically to our local area and community. The program is undertaken each Wednesday and students are able to get out ‘in the field’ and combine practical work, field studies and community visits to help them to make their learning more meaningful. The program is also used to assist students in obtaining valuable experience and certification which in turn enables their applying for jobs in and around our community. This year, Year 7 students are working hard on a unit entitled ‘Remembrance Day’ and this work has involved their studying local involvement in the World Wars Students will also prepare a concert to be shared with the residents of nursing homes in Cooma and Berridale

and they will spend time chatting with senior community members learning their stories and tales from yesteryear. These memoirs are then edited and combined in a commemorative journal produced by the students. Year 8 students will travel to Eden to view the Price’s CafÊ Exhibition which tells the story of our local aboriginal heritage and they have spent time investigating the contributions made to our country by indigenous men and women. Year 8 will also complete a unit of Geography Fieldwork using the local Alpine environment to understand and explore geographical skills.

Year 9 and 10 students are travelling to Canberra on several occasions to take part in the special program conducted by the University of Canberra, enabling them to learn more about tertiary education and the opportunities which are open to them. They will also visit the Australian War Memorial and Parliament House as part of the Australian History Program. Year 10 students are also being given the chance to obtain their Senior First Aid Certificate. Kylie and Danni, from Jindy First Aid are running sessions for these students and they will then sit their exam and be awarded the three year qualification.

Cadets take to Lake Jindabyne Last Saturday saw the Jindabynebased, Snowy Mountains Australian Navy Cadets (ANC) unit, TS ORION, carry out their first sailing and power boating activities on Lake Jindabyne. The Unit has been working hard towards this significant event and the cadets and staff were excited at the opportunity of finally getting on the Lake. Eleven Cadets and four TS ORION staff practiced in the Unit’s new 4.4 metre rigid inflatable boat (RIB), the 7 metre aluminium Light Utility Boat (LUB) and, excitedly, in the two 5 metre Corsair sailing craft. The Unit was privileged to have the National Commander ANC, Captain John Gill ANC, on hand to carry out water safety inspections on the craft and to successfully examine two staff members, Petty Officers Steve Truscott and Steve Manning as Safety Boat Operators. These staff qualifications will

enable TS ORION to conduct independent operations on the Lake and for the instruction, training and supervision cadets’ boating activities. Captain Gill said that he was impressed with the skills displayed by the cadets, particularly as some had never sailed before, and he commented that, with more training and experience, TS ORION will be a force to be reckoned with on the water. TS ORION cadets and their boats will be a regular sight on Lake Jindabyne this summer, providing a not only a colorful backdrop, but adding to exciting youth development opportunities in the district. Pictured, some of the sailing action with the navy cadets.

After losing both his legs in an accident in Afghanistan, Special Forces soldier Damien Thomlinson was determined not only to survive, but to meet life head on. This is an uplifting story of guts, drive and exceptional resilience. Without warning, Private Damien Thomlinson's life changed forever. On a night patrol in Afghanistan in 2009, his vehicle drove over a Taliban explosive device. His right leg turned instantly to red mist and his left leg was severed below the knee. His arms and hands were shattered and his nose smashed. Blood poured into his lungs. He was as close to death as you can get. Damien's story could have been a tragedy, but because of his enormously optimistic spirit it is instead one of triumph and inspiration.

Dissertation on the Snowy River

the

postman calls

Well, congratulations to the lucky Lotto winner in Cooma. Half your luck, sport! Congratulations also to the organisers of a huge weekend in Cooma. The Motor Fest was virtually standing room only, the buskers had everyone toe-tapping and Adaminaby’s big trout had a special unveiling. The Snowy Ride raised about $250,000 for research in to childhood cancer, which is a great result, However – while our local residents were being urged to take care on the roads and look out for motorcycles, some of those riders were sure playing fast and loose with their lives and the lives of other motorists. The Postman only narrowly avoided being part of a three-car fatality on Saturday when a bimbo on a bike decided to overtake on an unbroken white line, riding into the face of an oncoming vehicle. Her fellow biker compounded the problem by tailgating, therefore making it unsafe to brake.

Apparently wearing a pink helmet and riding a black Suzuki makes one invincible! Other locals report similar stupid actions by bike riders over the weekend. It is a shame a very small minority of riders could sour the community’s enthusiasm for bike events. Eddie Obeid never ceases to endear himself to the people of NSW, does he? Accused of corruption of the highest order, now he has asked for the public purse to help pay for his legal eagles. Umm, Eddie – NO!

Editor, Once again we have witnessed the spectacular waste of water and electrical energy with the release of water into the Snowy River from Lake Jindabyne. These releases will stir up the silt in the river and the effects may be noticeable almost as far as Dalgety. The silt is all residue topsoil from farmland downstream from Jindabyne dam. The ingress is not as bad as in the past because rabbits no longer completely denude the countryside of vegetation during a drought and Landcare groups have been active in erosion prevention. While advertising and highlighting these releases, Snowy Hydro has been reticent about the amount of renewable energy wasted. Consequently I have carried out these calculations myself. I have assumed a conservative 75 percent overall efficiency in generating power in Murray 1 and 2 power stations taking into account losses in the transmission of water from Jindabyne as well as in the generation process. Allowance has been made for the power/eneregy required by Jindabyne pumps and for the contribution made by the 1.1 MW unit in Jindabyne dam, assuming 80 percent power factor. A five percent allowance has also been made for the one percent of average long term flow release into the river since the dam was built. At one time I could have done the calculations in my head but age has wearied me and I am prone to make mistakes such as getting the decimal point in the wrong place. If my figures are incorrect I’m sure Snowy Hydro will be able to provide the correct ones. Assuming the advertised annual release of 190.6 gigalitres this would result in a net production of 1.7 million MW hours through M1 and 2 p/ stations. Assuming average household usage of 20 kW hrs. per day = 7.3 MW hrs. per year the wasted energy would power 232,000 houses all year. Surely it is better to make the best use of the efficient high tech. infrastructure already installed than to plaster the countryside with heavily taxpayer subsidised wind turbines and photovoltaic cells? By installing the latter in fixed positions instead of tracking the sun their useful output is limited to theefour hours on a sunny day. A brief historical review is appropriate. Jindabyne dam was completed in 1968 with provision to release one percent of long term average flow to add to the 53 percent which flows in

below the dam. For 30 years this operated without a murmur of complaint. During that period three large floods occurred in the Snowy River and in only one did Jindabyne spill. That flood in 1974 was the largest ever recorded and provoked Orbost residents to enquire if the dam had burst. In 1996 a severe long term drought commenced and mutterings began blaming the dam for reduced flows in the Snowy River. During this drought many rivers including the Bega and even the mighty Castlereagh and Lachlan ceased flowing but the Snowy River never did. I recall that during the design period of Jindabyne dam a young engineer, my next door neighbour at the time, asked his divisional chief engineer, “Shouldn’t we put a bigger outlet pipe in the dam in case in future someone wants to release more water into the Snowy River?” Reply, “If we put in a bigger pipe some idiot will want to release more water.” The young engineer later became water control manager for the SMA and the divisional head became Commissioner. Both have since died. Enter the gallant NSW premier Bob Carr who heard the grumbling and perceived some possible votes so he bravely sallied forth from his slum habitat and ventured into the Snowy wilderness. Some of the grumbling came from local landowners whose properties have so generously contributed their top soil to build up the silt in the river. After falling in, wetting his pants and filling his gumboots, Bob raced back to Sydney and engaged the assistance of that great band of slum dwelling environmentalists The Australian Conservation Foundation. They produced a flamboyant brochure depicting Tom Burlinson, Star of the film The Man from Snowy River mounted on his horse superimposed on a section of the Snowy River. Tom has possibly never seen the Snowy river as the film was made in Victoria. The brochure is headed ‘Our Last Chance’ to let The Snowy River Flow Again and is aimed at releasing 28 percent of flow into the river. This added to the 53 percent that already flows in below the dam would mean 81 percent of the flow restored to the river and mostly wasted out to sea. Continued on page 47

Property owners urged to be bushfire ready

With much of the State already affected by bushfires, and predictions of a long, hot summer ahead, Essential Energy is urging property owners to be prepared. Essential Energy’s regional manager South Eastern, Phillip Green, said simple safety precautions could be taken to reduce the risk to properties and lives during bushfires. “Simple steps like clearing vegetation from around the home, removing leaves and other debris from gutters and not planting trees too close to powerlines can help to protect your property from fire,� Phillip said. “Essential Energy inspects powerlines regularly to maintain fire safety clearances and recommends property owners keep vegetation at least 15 metres away from overhead lines.� Preparation is the key to preventing electrical accidents during a bushfire, whether residents choose to leave an at-risk area or stay and defend their property. �If you are considering staying and defending your property, you should have a fuel-operated water pump and stand-alone source of water available – it could be a lifesaver if the fire cuts power supplies,� Phillip said. “If you decide to leave the property, do so early to ensure you minimise the risk of encountering fallen or sagging powerlines across roads and other fire hazards. “Essential Energy recommends

Sydney Motorcycle Show

you turn off the main switches in your meter boxes if you have time, as this can help reduce the chance of damage to electrical equipment and the risk of electrical wires shortcircuiting or sparking.� Phillip said anyone encountering powerlines that appeared to be damaged, sagging or had fallen to the ground, must stay at least eight metres away from the lines or any object the lines were in contact with, including fences and trees. “If a powerline looks damaged, do not go near it – call Essential Energy immediately on 13 20 80,� he said. “Be careful to keep well away from anything that a damaged powerline could be touching, such as tree branches, water pipes and fences, as these may have become energised.� For more information about bushfire safety, visit essentialenergy.com.au/safety or call 13 23 91.

Finance Consultant Whatever your home loan requirements, let me find the best solution for you!

Spring is here! Spring is upon us, and in what is traditionally a busy time in the housing market, it is the perfect time to review your existing home loan needs. Many Lenders are currently offering incentives, with higher package discounts for new loans, or cash rebates for refinances. Combined with the low fixed and variable interest rates on offer, it makes sense to have a think about a ‘spring clean’ of your loan. If you haven’t reviewed it in the past 3-5 years, it is quite likely that there is a better option out there for you. For first home buyers, who don’t have any idea of what is involved, or even how much you can borrow, let me help you. I can assess your situation and let you know what your borrowing capacity is, and if you aren’t quite ready yet, I can let you know what you will need to do to get there. I will also explain the process for you from enquiring about finance, to settling on the house of your dreams, and be there to make each step as easy for you as possible. If you want to upgrade, and think you need to sell your existing home first, let me see if it is affordable for you to have both. There are options for bridging finance, or keeping your existing house as an investment property. A review of your situation will give you options, and may mean you don’t miss out on the ‘perfect’ house. So whatever your situation, give me a call today on mobile 0431 351 873, or email me at heather@hdafinancesolutions.com.au to arrange an appointment.

Homeowners No Longer Expecting Rate Cuts: Survey Most Australian homeowners believe the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has finished cutting interest rates and that the cash rate will likely stay put until 2014, according to a survey by mortgage broker Loan Market. The online survey of its home loan customers found that 62 per cent of respondents did not anticipate further rate movements this year and that the cash rate would remain at 2.50 per cent through the Melbourne Cup day and preChristmas RBA meetings. Loan Market director Mark De Martino said that with consumer sentiment lifting and plenty of spring activity in the property market the Reserve Bank was ‘between a rock and a hard place’ with other areas of the economy not faring as well. “The Australian cash rate has never been this low and for so long - the RBA has done its part in helping out the property market and homeowners. Rates are a big factor in what motivates buyers,” Mr De Martino said. Mr De Martino said that rates could drop again if the Aussie dollar continues to remain high and if inflationary pressures remain soft and below the RBA’s target, but for now homeowners did not expect any rate movement. “As the economy tries to balance itself out from its reliance on the resource sector this survey has revealed homeowners predict the RBA won’t see the need to adjust interest rates

until the new year.” Mr De Martino said that with the RBA moving the cash rate eight times in the past three years, consumers have grown to expect stability from the cash rate and that has helped them in formulating accurate budgets. “Homeowners on variable rates know that their repayments will fluctuate many times during the term of the loan. However the stability from the cash rate has given homeowners the confidence that their rates movements will be seldom and generally predictable.” he said. Survey Results When do you expect the RBA to move the cash rate next? A) November 12% B) December 15% C) February 2014 35% D) Later in 2014 38% For further information: Paul Smith Mb: 0421 923 019 Paul.Smith@loanmarket.com.au

Helping YOU Prosper What designs make the best returns?

There is no doubt when looking to invest in property one key point to consider is the design of the property that is going to gain you the highest returns. Why? It is pretty simple the highest demand gains the highest returns. What does this mean? Once you have \identified the key elements. 1) Which city, regional centre, town has is at the optimum time of the property cycle, the start! Along with all the other capital growth driving factors – Infrastructure, jobs, population growth, land shortfall, low vacancy rates etc 2) Within this location what is the micro and macro of the area, the best location to invest due to infrastructure, within a city what is the best suburbs and what is the best locations within these suburbs. 3) What is the demographic of the people living in this area. Now you have identified the optimum place to invest for maximum capital growth what is there a shortfall when it comes to design? 4 X bedroom 2 X bathroom homes OR 3 bedroom 2 bathroom homes OR Town houses 3 bedroom 2 bathroom OR Town Houses 2 bedroom 2 bathroom OR Duplex’s OR Apartments Once you have identified what there is a shortfall of this is what you should be considering as your best investment options, obviously your own affordability has a lot to do with what design you can afford. Affordability is very important, if you can only afford a small amount you may need to find the location that is best suited to your budget but also has all the capital growth elements in place, as too many investors invest for cheap prices and all this gets them is a stressful headache that is a money pit! Now I am all about affordability as the old saying goes “ You make money when you buy not sell” Too many people buy expensive properties hoping for stronger growth, and they may get it right. But for a safe and secure investment you should always look for properties that most everyday Australians can afford to pay the rent and to buy. This way you will always have higher demand, plus you do not tie up your borrowing capacity. Therefore you can invest again and add to your portfolio and gain the power of compound capital growth. If you would like to learn where and what is the best investment for you right now to gain maximum returns please do not hesitate to contact me and I can help you as I have helped locally and my company has helped hundreds and hundreds Australia wide.

Canberra maintains lead on building approvals data Canberra’s peak building and construction industry organisation, Master Builders ACT has welcomed further signs of strengthening in the ACT’s home building sector. The executive director of the MBAACT, John Miller said he was pleased to note that the latest building approvals data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics had confirmed that dwelling approvals remained in solid positive territory in the ACT during August. He said that positive ACT data contrasted with a national seasonallyadjusted decline of 4.7 per cent in total dwelling units approved during the month, albeit that the data remained in positive

positive territory in trend terms. The ABS data revealed that dwelling approvals increased by 2.3 per cent in the ACT during August – the strongest increase of any of the states and territories. Mr Miller said he believed the data reflected improving consumer confidence on the back of a more certain approach from the Reserve Bank on interest rates. He said that notwithstanding yesterday’s RBA decision to leave rates on hold, consumers seemed generally more confident about the direction in which monetary policy was headed. Mr Miller said the ACT August data represented positive news for the local home building industry and suggested that

it was in line to close out the 2013 calendar year in reasonable shape. “Looked at objectively, we still have some way to go before activity levels return to those of a few years ago, but the trend has now been positive for some time and activity levels in the local industry have been improving,” he said. Mr Miller said he was hopeful that, notwithstanding the Federal Election, the data would remain positive for the ACT through the final quarter of the year.

Sound results at Greendale Merinos A collection of new and repeat clients were focused on securing the quality merino sheep of Greendale Merinos, on property sale at “Willarney” Cooma last Thursday October 31. Buyers attending travelled from Bowna, Goulburn, Corowa, Turramurra, Michelago and Seymour Victoria as well as strong local support. The McGufficke Family were optimistic for a solid sale and this was achieved. There were rams available for all budgets and the rams lined up for sale showed great qualities and depth. There where 28 bidders registered under the Helmsman Auction System which generated keen competition for the 92 lots offered selling 63 lots to an average of $1,379.00 Volume buyers were Warrembool Pastoral Co, Oli & Jane Cay, Wathonga Partnership, Jimenbuen Pastoral Co, Meurer Pastoral Co, Corowa Vic and Eastwood Partnership Seymour Victoria. The top priced ram Lot 45 sold for $3,500.00 to Wathonga Partnership, Cooma. Lots 2 and 4 sold to J Fisher, Goulburn and Jimenbuen Pastoral Company, Dalgety respectively for $2,600.00 each. Other high achievers were Lot 7 which was purchased by Jim and Clare Buckley and Lot 15 purchased by Jimenbuen Pastoral Co each for $2,500.00 each. The majority of other purchasers secured two or three rams each. Greendale Merinos offer clients wanting to improve profitability within their own flocks, a genetic package of high fleece weights and low micron wool. This is validated with clients’ performances achieving highly profitable results in a number of Comparison Trials.

By providing information from data collected on fleece weight, micron and growth to sheep genetics, Greendale Merinos have been able to provide clients with ASBVs to further identify the right sheep to introduce to their flocks. Participation in Australian Merino Sire Evaluation Program and Wether Trials has also provided Greendale Merinos with more benchmarks and highlighted why they are a high ranking, high performing Merino breeding business. Greendale Merinos have worked hard to breed rams that will put ‘more dollars’ their clients’ pockets with sheep producing more wool cut per hectare. The McGufficke families would like to thank all buyers and under bidders on the day for their support. Graded rams are still available for sale, contact Alan McGufficke on 0429 448078. The sale was

Man’s best friend an excellent employee with fivefold return on investment Working dogs make a considerable financial contribution to Australia’s rural sector, providing an impressive fivefold return on investment. This is just one insight into working dogs to be presented at the inaugural Australian Working Dog Conference held at the University of Sydney on 4-5 November. The conference, featuring the latest research from the University’s Faculty of Veterinary Science, brought together working dog breeders, trainers, veterinarians, research scientists, advocacy groups and government representatives from Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and America. “We know we can get even more out of working dogs, and best of all, in the process, give the dogs

a better life,� said conference cofounder Professor Paul McGreevy, from the University’s Faculty of Veterinary Science. “We aim to improve communication and collaboration between scientific researchers and industry professionals.� Research presentations from the faculty include a study on the economic impact of farm dogs. Using data from over 800 farmers, the study estimated the value of the typical Australian herding dog. Researchers found the median cost involved in owning a herding dog is $7,763 over the period of its working life, with work performed by the dog throughout this time having an estimated median value of $40,000. “Herding dogs typically provided their owners with a 5.2 fold return on investment. Interestingly, given the value of their work, the median amount owners would consider spending on veterinary care for their most valued working dogs was between $1000 and $2000,� said Professor McGreevy, a

researcher on the study. “There are an estimated 273,000 working dogs in Australia, mainly on cattle and sheep farms, so this is a fascinating insight into the financial contribution they make to the rural sector.� “By detailing the value of the typical herding dog, we hope to equip producers with information that may be used to improve onfarm labour efficiency and profitability,� said Liz Arnott, lead researcher on the study and a country vet. The Faculty of Veterinary Science has also developed a tool to assess a dog’s emotional state. By judging how dogs respond to a series of trained tasks it is possible to assess their emotional state and open a window on Monaro Farming System Trainee for 2013 Kristy Wassink and her workdog their overall personality.

Scholarship offers annual bursary for students studying ag degrees A Government scholarship that aims to attract school leavers into agriculturerelated university degrees is now accepting applications. The Horizon Scholarship, an initiative of the Rural Industries R&D Corporation, in partnership with industry sponsors, provides $5,000 per year for the duration of a student’s university degree. The Horizon Scholarship also offers students annual industry work placements that give them first-hand exposure to modern agricultural practices, access to industry leaders, professional development workshops and opportunities to network and gain knowledge at a range of industry events. RIRDC’s Managing Director, Craig Burns said the Horizon Scholarship has been developed to support the next generation of agricultural leaders who will take up the challenge of farming for the future. “We are looking for young people who are passionate about agriculture, with a keen interest in the future of our industries and who are ready to expand their networks and learn new skills,� Mr Burns said.

Current Horizon Scholar, Eliza Star from Carrathool in NSW, said the Horizon Scholarship has helped build not only her networks, but her confidence as well. “I have been involved in many activities stemming directly from the Scholarship, including participating in various workshops and conferences,� Eliza said. “I have attended various Ricegrowers’ Association of Australia (RGA) meetings and events ranging from SunRice and RGA annual general meetings, to grower discussion groups and social events. “The Scholarship is the best thing I have ever been involved in and the program allows you to get involved in such great things. I encourage anyone who is about to start their studies to give the program a shot.� To be eligible for The Horizon Scholarship students must be entering their first year of university and studying a degree related to agriculture, such as agricultural science, rural science, livestock/animal science, veterinary science or agribusiness and plant science. Students must also have started their tertiary studies no longer than two years after leaving high school.

Scholarship recipients will be selected on the basis of their commitment to a career in agriculture, as well as their leadership potential and high school academic record. Applications close on 31 January 2014 and shortlisted applicants must be available for a telephone interview on 21 and 22 February 2014. The Scholarship winners are announced in late February 2014. Application forms can be downloaded from the RIRDC website at www.rirdc.gov. au/horizon or by contacting RIRDC on 02 6271 4132. Sponsors of the Horizon Scholarship are Woolworths, Lallemand Animal Nutrition, the Australian Department of Agriculture, the Australian Egg Corporation, Australian Pork Limited, the Cotton Research and Development Corporation, the Grains Research and Development Corporation, the Grape and Wine Research and Development Corporation, Horticulture Australia Limited, Meat & Livestock Australia, Sugar Research Australia, McCaughey Memorial Institute, and RIRDC (Rice and Chicken Meat research programs).

Letter to the Editor

NSW Farmers on drought relief The Minister for Primary Industries’ announcement on the drought conditions in the north west of our state is an important first step given the previous absence of recognition and measures to support farmers and communities. We are well aware many of you have been actively preparing for drought and managing through it for some time now and are not only financially and emotionally stretched but also most likely disappointed with what has been put on the table so far. We share this disappointment. For those who participated in our survey work, we want to thank you as it has helped us to bring this issue to a head. By collecting this

information we were able to demonstrate to the minister’s office just how tough things are for some of you despite your best efforts. Our plan is to keep up the pressure until we get you what you need - proper recognition of the situation and transport subsidies plus low interest loans. It is puzzling I know how the people who grow our food are so often the first to be forgotten when it comes to government financial support. This is why we are here. To make sure you aren’t. Fiona Simson President NSW Farmers

Schute Bell Wool report Almost 5,000 fewer bales ended up finding their way to the market than what was originally rostered. This combined with a drop in exchange rates helped the market arrest a two week slide. Finer types benefited the most this week with better style sound types sought after. Discounts remain quite large on any imperfections especially high mid breaks. 39,078 bales were sold nationally for the week with a passed in rate of 10%. Major buyers included Chinatex, Qld Cotton and Techwool. Estimated quantities on offer over the coming month have declined and look like falling below the previous season. AWTA test data released today shows the volume of wool tested for the month of October up 3.3% on last season, with the season to date figures showing a small 1.3% increase in the volume of wool tested across the country. Of the individual states Qld is feeling the pinch of drought conditions and is down 14.4% with WA more than offsetting this

The NSW Office of Water today issued a ‘rising river alert’ for the Snowy River between Jindabyne Dam and the Delegate River in southern NSW for 6 November 2013. This rising river alert relates to the fifth and final high flow spring release that has seen 96.6 gigalitres of environmental water delivered to the Snowy River since 6 September this year. The flow rate in the Snowy River below Jindabyne Dam will increase from 579 megalitres per day from midnight 5 November, reaching a peak flow rate equivalent to 3,306 megalitres per day for 8 hours between 8am and 4pm on 6 November 2013. The release will then be scaled back to an equivalent flow rate of 2,177 megalitres per day for the remainder of 6 November. The flow rate for the following three days, 7 to 9 November, will remain above 1,000 megalitres per day. On 10 November the flow rate will decrease to 965 megalitres per day. The impact of this release is expected to be greatest immediately below Jindabyne Dam wall, with the effects reducing as the flow moves further down the Snowy River towards the Delegate River.

It is expected to see the river water level at Dalgety rise to 1.36m for eight hours. This rise is expected to occur at approximately midday on 6 November at Dalgety, given the travel time of the water being released from Jindabyne Dam. Landholders downstream of the Jindabyne Dam are advised to take all necessary precautions with stock, fencing and property. The NSW Office of Water will work with the NSW State Emergency Service and Bureau of Meteorology to provide information to the community regarding the management of this release should weather conditions warrant. Three additional smaller high flow pulses will also occur between the end of this November event and Christmas. Following these events the Snowy River will reflect a summer flow pattern.

Wednesday November 6, 2013

Riposte Lisa Ashurst Personally I find I can’t agree with Adam Bandt’s rant implying the abolition of the Carbon Tax will inevitably lead to even more devastating bushfires occurring in greater numbers etc, etc, that it will accelerate climate change etc, etc, and all the rest of it because I can’t help thinking he took advantage of the latest fire tragedy to launch another spew at Tony Abbott because Labor lost the election. Of course, I could be misjudging him but I don’t think so. Like it or not, heatwaves, bushfires and floods are the nature of Australia and have been for a very, very long time. I remember the really warm springs and searing summers of my primary school years in Sydney where you could work up a serious sweat by just standing still. Where the bitumen on the basketball courts would rise up like small hills before cracking open to release a bubbling

flow of sticky black strong-smelling liquid that drew us like flies until the nuns shooed us away and of sprinting barefoot along footpaths so hot they would burn our feet, hence the sprint and heatwaves were a seasonal event. And beyond the city limits the fires burned out of control. It was the same throughout my high school years and those that followed. I remember the Blue Mountains burning in the summer of 1979-80 and the thick pall of smoke on the distant western horizon and the fires around the Blue Mountains/Lithgow/Bathurst regions in the nineties. I think the north side of Sydney was burning around the same time and I still have the photos from a close friend in Palm Beach of the fire raging just across from her home, on the other side of Careel Bay. My grandmother related stories of savage bushfires that occurred long before I was born. Her elderly neighbours would tell similar tales. And then there were the floods. It’s what happens in Australia, Carbon Tax or no.

Look, don’t get me wrong here. Clamping down on land, water and air pollution is a vital issue but my issue with the Carbon Tax was that those who had to purchase the Credits in the first place were not always the ones wearing the burden because in most cases they were able to recoup the expense via raising their prices which they passed on to the next guy who passed it on again and so on and so forth until it got to the guy on the street. That’s you and me, and as we had no one to pass it on to we got lumbered with it, not just once, but over and over in price rises all over the place. In that case, where was the incentive to stem the initial source? Some of them really profited from those increases! We didn’t need that Tax and I seriously doubt its exit is going to open the gates to the climate hell Adam Bandt and his ilk are “predicting�. Perhaps Adam should pack up his soapbox and go home.

Wendy Ann Shanley (nee Gammon) 6.8.1953 - 1.11.2013 Treasured daughter of Alfred and Nancy Gammon. Cherished sister of Jenny and Vicki. Beloved mother of Janise, Kim and Tamara, and grandmother (nanny) of Madisyn and Naomi. Forever in our memories Friends and family of Wendy's are invited to attend a celebration of her life at 2pm, Thursday 7 November at the White Lady Funeral Chapel, 101 Nettlefold Street, Belconnen, Canberra. A private cremation will follow. In lieu of flowers donations to Bowel Cancer Australia would be greatly appreciated.

Dissertation on the Snowy From page 16 Pictures of and quotations from eight celebrities are included none of whom would have the faintest idea what they were talking about. Two of such are; Andrew Denton - Having rafted down parts of the Snowy in my youth I can attest to its wonderful wildness (not to mention wetness). Reinstate the 28 percent; Don Burke, of backyard fame. I totally support your stand to achieve a minimum of 28 percent of the original flow to the Snowy River. Based on this and similar expert evidence Bob set in train the expensive vandalism at Jindabyne dam, paid for by Snowy Hydro which we see today. Not content with that he then proceeded to emasculate the Shoalhaven scheme rendering it useless in providing additional water to Sydney

during droughts. Further he then arranged installation of four large electric pumps at North Head to pump Sydney’s rainfall run off out to sea where it is mixed with salt water. Subsequently electric pumps have been installed to return it to a complex, expensive and energy hungry desalination plant. Suddenly he galloped off into well earned obscurity a jump ahead of the posse leaving behind the ingredients for the mess which constitutes the NSW ALP today. His second coming has been an even bigger farce than his first. There endeth the lesson. Noel Carter Cooma

Frail will be a force in all future MTB races National and International, remember the name. Almost local Louise Cooke conquered all the trails, showing us once again why she is one of the best all round riders in the region. Claire McDonald will be a rider to watch at the 2014 Triple Trail with a breakthrough ride coming second, while fellow local Jindabyne Cycling Club rider Elise Burriss took third. Strong performances from local Veteran riders Michelle McFarline and the Ursula Berchtold saw them take podiums behind winner Karen Evens. While Veterans Men’s first place went to Geoff Hale, second to Warwick Dunestone with Huw Kingston “Wild Horizons” Director grabbing the last podium spot. Stage One, an 8km Time Trial held over at Tyrolean Village, took riders back and forth over the new Mill Creek section of the Lake Jindabyne shared trail. The race course is all single or shared trail (For those not so savy on MTB jargin, single trail is like a sheep trail and shared trail is wider, for walkers and bikes), lots of rocks, lake and mountain views. It’s exciting to think this trail will loop Lake Jindabyne over the next few years. Stage two a 15km bunch race held at Bungarra Alpine Centre went up and down the ‘New Garden Path” and “G-Trail.” The Garden Path Trail adds a 2km, 140 vertical metre climb to last year’s course. The racing was unbelievable, watching all competitors destroy themselves on the last climb was inspirational. Many finished the race physically spent but with a grin from ear to ear

thinking about the G-Trail Descent. Dylan Coopers only negative comment saying “it needs to go to the top of the hill.” Stage three a bunch race held Lake Crackenback Resort on Sunday saw the whole field travel up to Lake Crackenback Resort where Bruce, Scotty, Matt and staff have been developing new MTB trails. LCR has some of Australia’s most beautiful terrain and trails. The third stage was the least technical of all three course, but three times longer than the longest stage from the day before. The pace was on with Cooper riding the 43km in 1h39m. Cooke had a battle as local Jindy rider Claire McDonald closed in from the day before. Leading for a while McDonald was eventually overtaken by the more experienced Cooke. All the riders were buzzing at the end of the “2013 Triple Trail”. Many of them including most of the major place getters had never ridden the trails in the race. The riders loved the techy, flowing, rocky and beautiful trails our region has been developing recently. This summer, if you’re a rider or not, come and check out the events, trails and cycling clubs in our region. Also have a look around at how many bikes are in town, hopefully it will inspire you. For more information on MTB events, trails and maps check out Rolling Ground Jindabyne’s website www.rollingground.com.au or go to the Jindabyne Cycling Club website www.jindynectmc.com.au To finish Rob and I at Rolling Ground Jindabyne invite all of you to see the New Year in riding a bike, At the “3rd Wicked Wombat 8hr” December 31. You can ride with your team mates or as a solo.

Sprint cars return for 2013 The Inaugural Snowy Mountains 1000 was first held on October 27 2012 at the Snowy Mountains Airport, Coolringdon NSW. The Event welcomed 100 drivers to compete in a 1000 Metre Runway Sprint taking place on the Airport Runway. Drivers and their crew attended the event from all over Australia bringing with them a diverse field of vehicles from all manufacturers including: Ferrari, Holden, Porsche, Nissan, Lamborghini, Toyota, Audi, BMW, Ford and many more. The inaugural event was a great success attracting thousands of spectators from the NSW Snowy Mountains Region, the ACT and as far as Victoria and Queensland. The event was kindly supported by many local and corporate sponsors which has allowed for continued growth in 2013. In 2013 the Snowy Mountains 1000 will be held

across two days and will be playing host to 200 Drivers from around Australia including Privateers and Performance Workshops. Some competitors attending the event are expected to reach speeds of 300KM/H and cover the 1000 metres in less than 19 seconds. The variety of manufacturers entered in 2013 is extremely varied and this will be a great display for all spectators and motoring enthusiasts. The Snowy Mountains 1000 in conjunction with PowerPlus Racing Fuels will also be raising funds for the Cancer Council through a raffle of donated gifts, so please support this cause. With the event proudly supported by local and corporate sponsors we encourage you to come along for a great day and check out the action, there will be something for everyone!

Basketball results GAME 1 – WINGS vs WARRIORS The Wings/Warriors game was another close one in what is shaping up to be a close season. For the Warriors, Jerod Blyton, Daniel Pevere and Charlie Keegan-Bull were all outstanding in defence and offence, and their team chemistry was excellent. Jacob Stiles was again terrific with lots of scoring and some more great defence. The Wings could only field 4 players due to injury and illness, but they still put in 100% effort. Tim Wall and Jarrod Sopniewski are building some tremendous chemistry, with lots of assists to each other and unselfish play. Dane Freimanis and Aidan Webb were both great in defence, with lots of steals and intercepts between them. The final score was 55-51 in favour of the Wings, who have now completed Round 1 undefeated. MVP’s were Jacob Stiles and Tim Wall. WARRIORS – Kealan Battye: 3, Daniel Pevere: 14, Jerod Blyton: 8, Toby Williams: 4, Jacob Stiles: 10, Charlie Keegan-Bull: 12 WINGS – Tim Wall: 30, Jarrod Sopniewski: 23, Dane Freimanis: 2

GAME 2 – RAVENS vs SUPERSONICS Injury and illness struck the supersonics as well, and they were only able to field 4 players as well. They put in a big effort however, but unfortunately ended up going down to the Ravens 70-40. Tyler Pielli was again great for the Supersonics, and along with Tyler Fanning created some really great plays. Isaac Singh was great on rebounds and Jimmy Harding was solid against a much older opposition. For the Ravens, Kyle Hubert had an outstanding game in offence, always being in the right place at the right time. Connor Rendoth was great in defence and also had his highest scoring game for the season. Daniel Hopkin and Ethan Hunt also played really well, with great shot selection and a high percentage of shots going in. MVP’s for this game were Kyle Hubert and Tyler Pielli. RAVENS – Daniel Hopkin: 8, Ethan Hunt: 10, Victor Brendstrup: 2, Ben Trotter: 16, Connor Rendoth: 12, Kyle Hubert: 22 SUPERSONICS – Tyler Pielli: 20, Tyler Fanning: 10, Isaac Singh: 10

Cooma Rifle Club Last Saturday shooting was from 500yards for the November heat of the NRA medal competition. Noel Barrett and Graeme Crundwell had a shot again after nine months or so due to health problems. Graham is now 90 years old so shooting is not easy. It was a nice morning with a north to north-westerly breeze that die out later in the morning. The scores were: Noel Barrett 48.1 and 48.2, total

96.3; Brett Cam 47.0 and 44.1, total 91.1; Richard Lapham 42.4 and 44.2, total 86.4; Graeme Crundwell 37.0 and 26.1, total 73.1. With handicaps, Noel won with 100 followed by Richard 97, Brett 96 and Graeme 83. Next week shooting is from 300yards for the start of the monthly spoon competition

Three records tumble on a beautiful evening U/6 Tyrell Bartlett broke the U/6 60m hurdles with 15.91sec on the same day of the year it was set 11 years ago 31/10/2001. Tyrell shaved 3/10 of a second off the previous record 16.22sec set by Joshua Sixt. Tyrell was having his second competition over the 60m hurdles and with at least six more competitions to come this season, the record is likely to be shattered by the end of the season. Nick Wassink smashed his own hammer record in the U/15 hammer by 3m as he progressed towards a national qualifier by next February. Nick heaved the Hammer 36.11m on the night and this weekend he will be competing in Canberra at Athletics ACT Inter-Club. Nick also showed his ability with the hammer when set the U/20m record, which has been vacant for many seasons due to a weight change for that age group. The weight had been reduced to 6kg hammer from the open weight of 7.26kg. Nick was able to hurl the 6kg Hammer 27.68m and is likely to push this distance well over 40m before long. Ashley Manners topped the bill in the improvement stakes with 4 PB on the night. Ashley’s first PB was in the shot put with over one metre improvement when she pushed the shot out to 2.90m. Her second PB was set in the 400m where she cut off over two seconds from her old mark with narrowly missing out of breaking through the two minutes barrier when she crossed the finish line in 2: 01.59sec. The 400 run warmed Ashley up for a massive improvement when she tackled the 60m hurdles. Ashley obliterated her previous best by over four seconds to record 18.51sec. The last PB came via the discus throw where Ashley creamed her old mark by over 2m with a heave of 6.10m. Forty-four other athletes gained PB’s on the night. Others with multiple improvements were: U/6 Lucy Pope 2, Tyrell Bartlett 3, Harry McIntyre 3, Riley McKenzie 3, Andre Moruz 2, Nicholas Stead 3.

Trout festival turns 40 It’s that time again, when hundreds of trout fishermen from all over Australia flock to the world famous waters of the Snowy Mountains for the annual Snowy Mountains Trout Festival. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the festival and there are expectations of the biggest crowd yet. Last year the Trout Festival brought close to 630 registered competitors and this year Adaminaby Fishing Club members are expecting closer to 700 registrations. President of the Snowy Mountains Trout Festival and owner of Adaminaby Angler, Col Sinclair says that it’s sure to be a fantastic week. “The event is such a great thing and each year it brings a lot of people to the area. People come from all the way from Mackay in Queensland to down south in Melbourne. “We have a lot of families that have been coming almost from the year that the festival began and what it’s the area that keeps bringing them back but also the friendships they may

have made and the camaraderie that comes with having the same interests. “No only that but we have arguably the best trout fishing in Australia, the Snowy Mountains is such an iconic area and it keeps bringing people back,” explained Mr Sinclair. The Snowy Mountains pristine waterways, both Lake and River, are the envy of others, all over the world. For the fisherperson, these waterways are truly, heaven on earth. Our area is so famous for trout fishing that a sculpture of the world’s largest trout was erected to honour our fishermen and waterways. The world’s largest trout was placed in position in 1973, coinciding with the very first Snowy Mountains Trout Festival. The date for the official opening of the sculpture and the festival was set for November 3 1973. The official opening in the park was carried out by Mr. Tom Lewis, the then Minister for lands in NSW, during the ceremony he declared Adaminaby, “the trout capital of Australia”.

The first Adaminaby Trout Festival, was instigated and coordinated by the Adaminaby and District Progress Association. The Adaminaby Fishing Club organised the Trout Fishing Competition which was held each day during the festival, weigh in points were at Adaminaby, Old Adaminaby, Anglers Reach, Providence, Frying Pan, Buckenderra, Braemar and Kiandra. Various organisations and individuals gave their full support to ensure a variety of activities. The world’s largest trout at Adaminaby, must surely be one of the most photographed subjects in our region. Now, 40 years later the first major restoration works on the trout are finished and the new and improved trout was uncovered last Saturday with the beginning of the 40th Trout Festival. However the crowd of almost 700 fishermen and women aren’t coming to take photos of the trout sculpture and will instead, be spending the week in search of their own mighty trout.

Junior fisherman Mitch Reid caught a eight-pound brown two weeks ago and Jake Hedger a fivepound brown. They were caught in the surrounding Monaro district – a secret spot which Mitch does not want to share. This year’s Trout Festival is running from Saturday November 2

to Friday November 8. The last weigh in time will be 6pm on Thursday

evening. There is over $20,000 worth of prizes to be

won during the week, including a Quintrex boat package.

Elizabeth makes AFL State Development Squad Former St Pats student Elizabeth Barnes has been named in the 2014 AFL NSW/ACT Development Squad which was selected after an outstanding Under-18 AFL Youth Girls State Carnival in Wagga Wagga recently. More than 130 girls from Albury to the Central Coast and everywhere in between descended on Wagga Wagga in late October for the NSW/ACT Under-18 Youth Girls State Carnival. Two teams from the ACT, two from Sydney and one from the Riverina competed in the carnival with Canberra fielding a North team and South team, competing against Sydney Harbour Yellow, Sydney Harbour Blue and the Riverina Cubs at Maher Oval. The AFL Youth Girls competition provides the pathway for girls aged 13-18 to play

competitive AFL through their teenage years before entering the growing number of Women’s leagues across Australia. Elizabeth, who plays AFL for Drummoyne Power in Sydney and is now attending St Scholastica’s College in Glebe, was a member of the Sydney Harbour Blue team which won the championships in a thrilling two point win over Riverina. The Drummoyne Power AFL Club is closely affiliated with St Scholastica’s with 90% of the Youth Girls team’s players coming from the college. Elizabeth started playing AFL in Canberra in 2010 with the Calwell Swans on Saturdays while training with the Snowy SuperCats in Cooma during the week. AFL NSW/ACT Female Programs Manager Libby Sadler said the primary aim of the state championships in Wagga Wagga was to identify a squad from which a NSW/ACT team will be selected for the national championships in 2014. “Year after year the depth of talent in our

Youth Girls increases and the recent carnival in Wagga Wagga was no exception,” she said. “Selecting a squad of 40 was so difficult that the number was increased to 50 and these girls will now work on individual training programs over the summer in the lead up to a live-in development camp in February 2014,” Libby said. There was a group of six selectors watching the games over Saturday and Sunday including the NSW/ACT State Talent Manager, Darren Denneman, members of the Riverina Lions, ACT Women’s Head Coach Adrian Pavese, ex-Riverina Lyons Coach Mick Barnes (no relation) and NSW/ACT Female Programs Manager Libby Sadler. Elizabeth said even is she doesn’t make the final team after the selection camp in February, she was just really happy to be considered and have the chance to train with some really talented players and coaching staff. “It’s just great playing AFL footy and the opportunities now are amazing,” she said.

Bombala wins Patron’s Cup over Cooma With motor cycles and restored and polished up motor cars on display in Cooma, players away in Adaminaby for the Club Challenge and the very successful garage sale it was little wonder that only six bowlers were present for Social Bowls on Saturday. Sergio Roncelli, Lorraine West and Richard Nichols were quickly on the way to a 20/8 lead after eleven ends and went on to win 24/13 against John Goldman, Daphne Buckley and Ron Gammon. Plenty of people turned up for the garage sale and most seen to have found a bargain. Many thanks to the people who supplied the goods, either for sale or as a donation. The club will benefit to the tune of a four digit profit. To the members of the Country Club Board and their helpers are to be congratulated for the amount of planning and effort that goes into staging this event. In the Clubs Challenge at Adminaby last Saturday, Cooma played Jindabyne and ran out winners in the Pairs 4/0, Triples 3/1 and the fours 3/1 gaining them 10 points plus a bonus three for winning on all three Rinks. In the Nimmitabel v Adaminaby match, Nimmitabel won the pairs 3/1, Adaminaby the Triples 4/0 and Nimmitabel the Fours 3/1. The Point Score is Cooma 13, Nimmitabel and Adaminaby each on 6, Jindabyne 2. Play will continue next Saturday at Nimmitabel.

Sunday, Cooma Club welcomed the Bombala bowlers for the annual Patrons Cup in not the best of weather conditions, with lower temperatures and strong gusts of wind making it difficult to pick the line. After 42 ends Bombala held a slender four shot advantage, then the wheels fell off for a few ends with Cooma taking the lead 80/55 after 67 ends. At that point Bombala started to make their run in the home straight to eventually regain the lead 113/109 after 106 ends and hung on to retain the Cup for this year 122/117. Despite the weather it was an enjoyable contest and Bombala are to be congratulated for their well deserved win. Look out next year. On Wednesday 13th November local bowlers will have an opportunity to try out the latest in Bowls. Aero Bowls will be present at the Club from 10am to 12.30pm on that day with a great array of these latest bowls for local bowlers to try out and buy if they prove to your liking.

Monaro District Cricket matches Daniel Shirvington (3/40) removing Holbrooks Country NSW batsman cheaply and then removing the remainder of the top order batsman. Som eof teh action The Holbrook batting lineup was in a state of shock as the batsman just looked to occupy the crease and attacking shots were non existant. Captain Chris Khoury realised the batsman were not playing shots and bought the field in. The scence looked like the final day of a test match and hardly the stuff of a one day match, as a ring of fielders surrounded the batsman who were far too cautious on the slow Holbrook deck. With the Monaro fielders not giving an inch and the bowlers attacking the stumps wickets fell at regualr intervals with 2 great catches and a handy run out to M Deveraux who shone in the field. But It was big Daniel “Animal” O’Brien (4/26) playing his first rep match for the Monaro bowling his flighty off spinners who dismantled the Holbrook middle order. Animal had the Holbrook batsmen in cold sweats and the close in fielders eagerly awaiting the next catch. S Wood (2/7) polished off the tail leaving Holbrook all out for 91 in only the 29th over. Monaro full of confidence after their brilliant performance with the ball looked like they were set for an easy day with the bat.

Great conditions for golfers

Heart Foundation Walking Monaro residents are being encouraged to start a physical activity habit by joining a Heart Foundation Walking group. With more than half the Australian adult population not active enough to gain health benefits, Heart Foundation Walking offers a network of free community walking groups with volunteer walk organisers who lead groups in your local area. SNSWML health promotion officer and Heart Foundation Walking area coordinator Kate Greenwood says that nearly four million Australians have been involved with Heart Foundation Walking to date. “Because it is a free program, Heart Foundation Walking is ideal for towns that are too small to support a viable commercial exercise class. Groups can be as small as two people, or as large as the Queanbeyan Town Park Walkers, which has up to 70 walkers turning out on a regular basis. “Many people join the groups to improve their health and fitness, but they keep coming back because they enjoy the social aspect of the walks so much,� Kate says. “Walking for just 30 minutes a day can help you maintain a healthy weight, increase fitness and strength, improve your self esteem and mental health, and cut your risk of heart disease by almost half.� According to Kate, a small but dedicated walking group already meets regularly in Berridale and new

55

groups in Dalgety and Bredbo are attracting new recruits each week. Interested people are asked to meet at the appointed time and place before heading off for approximately 45 minutes of walking. All levels of fitness are welcome and walkers should wear sturdy shoes. Kate is keen to establish more walking groups on the Monaro and anyone interested in joining an existing group or starting a new group can give her a call on 6455 1935.
