Special alpine training Lake Eucumbene and Lake Jindabyne are two of the largest inland lakes in Australia and are visited by many locals and tourists all year round. A lake of services to patrol the lakes means that there have been multiple drownings and accidents over the years. This is why the first Marine Rescue NSW unit in the state based on inland waters will be very welcome
on our Alpine lakes. The Alpine Lakes Marine Rescue unit has two larger vessels based on Lake Jindabyne and Lake Eucumbene, but has the ability to attend to emergency’s at other surrounding lakes and waters. The unit in this area is made up of 42 fully trained and licensed volunteers who will be patrolling the lakes and
available 24 hours each day, across all seasons. The unit commander, Les Threlfo is no novice when it comes to running Emergency Organisations or dealing with the community, he is very well respected throughout Emergency Service organisations and also throughout the wider community.

Emergency services report There were a number of fires started over the weekend due to a series of storms. The first happened on Friday evening east of Rose Valley Road, Numeralla. Crews from Cooma and Numeralla attended and were able to extinguish the fire early Saturday morning.

LLS workshop “a waste of time”
3
UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT / OWNERSHIP
THE TOURIST CAFÉ The three local mayors said it was a waste of time. The Local Land Services workshop held in Cooma last Tuesday left the majority of participants unconvinced the proposed new structure will be of benefit to landholders. A workshop held in Cooma last Tuesday to present plans to create Local Land Services (LLS) to replace Livestock Health and Pest Authorities, left most participants unconvinced their views will be listened to. Under the most recent proposal, the three local government areas of Bombala, Cooma-Monaro and Snowy River Shire, will be part of the South East Region, which stretches from the Victorian border to Wollongong. The process is expected to be complete and in operation by January 2014. The proposal has angered the three local mayors, whose summation of Tuesday’s workshop reflected the views of the majority of participants. Cooma’s mayor, Dean Lynch, labelled the workshop a complete waste of time. Bombala mayor Bob Stewart, said the proposal was “very disappointing – they need to give us the details of the proposal before we comment on it”. Snowy River Mayor John Cahill said the key issues had not been addressed and changes to the Department of Primary Industry will seriously affect the agricultural productivity of the region. Bombala Shire councillor, Sue Haslingden, presented a motion to the meeting, which was carried unanimously. This stated: “that before any changes were made to the existing arrangement, or any
new structure was established, that a cost benefit analysis to be completed and made public”. The workshop, which ran for three hours, attracted about 60 people from a broad crosssection of the community. An early suggestion, from Cr Bob Stewart, that the facilitator ask the audience if they were in favour of the changes, was ignored. A comment from local landholder, Artur Baumhammer, that the government was trying to recreate the ‘Holy Roman Empire’ or little kingships, was also brushed aside. The initial presentation was made by chairman of the LLS reference panel, Dr John Keniry, AM, NSW Natural Resources Commissioner, who outlined the reason behind restructuring the present system and the process involved in this change. Dr Keniry said the reference panel wanted local input to ensure the best services were provided by the LLS. He said the new structure was designed to cut overheads and would combine the exiting catchment management authorities, Livestock Head and Pest Authorities and Department of Primary Industry. He said the Local Land Services is a new customer-focused way of delivering Government-funded agriculture and natural resource management services, advice and information in NSW LLS will be regionally-based,
semi-autonomous, statutory organisations, which are governed by locally-elected and skills-based Board members. Governance and accountability One central Local Land Services Board of Chairs will be made up of representatives from each regional organisation and will be accountable to the Minister for Primary Industries. Each Local Land Service will develop operational management plans that will prioritise service delivery on a regional basis, reflecting regional priorities. Individual Local Land Services will be independently audited to ensure accountability and delivery against priorities. Local Land Services will be funded via direct budget contributions from the NSW Government, ratepayer funds and a continuation of natural resource grant funding via the State Government and Australian Government. The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal will be asked to periodically review the appropriateness of the rating system against services delivered. After Dr Keniry’s presentation, a workshop session saw participants asked to fill in several forms determining their preferences for services, who should pay for those services, the suggested boundaries and whether the workshops had been useful.

Adam currently teaches mostly PE with some Science classes and Sheila currently teaches half PE and half English Language Arts They are at Monaro High School because this was the school they were matched up with. They applied to the Exchange program in Canada and this was the first match we were set up with. The exchange program takes

care of matching up the applicants in both countries and then they bring it back to each district, then principal and then to the teacher to approve. Adam said “We really hoped for a double match because that would mean we would both have a job for the year so we were really lucky to get Monaro where we could both work”. Sheila added “When we applied they told us that there would be a five percent or less chance that we would both be working but that they would look at our applications and do the best to find us a match of some kind that would work. We were very happy to have a similar situation as to what we have back home. In Canada we both teach at the same school in the PE department as well. Neither have been here before. Adam said he hopes to grow and develop as a teacher. ‘It is great to be able to see and experience Australian culture and educational system”. Sheila said “I hope to continue to develop my skill set as a teacher and to build relationships with the

It has been great to have so much support and help since we got here. The amount of sports students play is great, it’s nice that they are all so keen about participating. Sheila also really likes the people. “We have asked about a million questions since we got here and they have
been so helpful. The students here are really friendly and it is great to be able to teach outside so much. Adam believes the biggest change he has noticed so far is that outdoor living and learning is a much bigger part of the school system here. “Most of our facilities are inside and our building is all one building because of the climate we have there. We wouldn’t be able to rely on using the outdoors as heavily back home. As for the curriculum there are more similarities than differences in what we are teaching the

The students in Canada only take four courses a semester and the schedule is the same every day for that semester. We also don’t have uniforms in most of our public schools in Canada.

Love not just for Valentine’s day Sarah Kleven
General Manager, JOE VESCIO
Snowy River Shire celebrated Australia Day with its Woolworths Ambassador, Rick Timperi, former Olympic boxer and team captain. Rick shared stories of his time training as a boxer as well as during the Olympics and how proud he was to represent his country. He spoke of his determination after being advised by the Australian Institute of Sport that he was the incorrect height for his weight division, then went on to represent Australia at two different Olympics. His message to those listening was to follow their dreams and not give up, as whilst you might not always win, you won’t be sorry for trying. Rick’s father was one of the early workers for the Snowy Hydro Scheme so Rick was able to tour around the Snowy Mountains to see and photograph one of the bridges his father helped build all those years ago. I would like to personally congratulate the Australia Day award recipients who were presented their awards in Jindabyne. Citizen of the Year – Dr Geoffrey Cocker Young Citizen of the Year – Owen Pearson Community Event of the Year – Jindy Idol As usual, a big thanks to all the community organisers who contribute to our celebrations. The Lions Club in Jindabyne, Bill Fogarty, The Adaminaby RSL Branch, the Adaminaby Public School P&C Committee and the Adaminaby Hall Committee.

In an age where very few marriages can withstand the test of time, three couples from Yallambee Lodge Cooma are living proof that true love does exist on Valentines Day. Molly and Clyde Blencowe’s relationship has not only withstood the test of 66 years but also the Second World War, where Clyde spent four years overseas fighting in the army, and two and a half in a Prisoner of War Camp. “We were told that there were no girls left in Australia because the ‘Yanks’ had taken them all,” Mr Blencowe said. Mr Blencowe was soon proved wrong, arriving off the boat, hearing his name called behind him and seeing his family and Molly trailing behind them. He recalled the moment they first met at a dance in Tumbarumba where they spent the night at the dance together and then Clyde walked her home. But nothing came of their romance until Clyde returned from the war and they were married in Tumbarumba in October 1946. Molly and Clyde Blencowe have two sons, Chris and Kerry, seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren. When asked how many years they had been married Mr Blencowe replied, “Too long!” but it was easy to see that 66 years still isn’t long enough for this couple. When asked if they would still consider themselves ‘in love’ Mrs Blencowe replied “passionately.” “I consider us very lucky, our love is still growing. He’s the only man I’ve ever loved in my whole life,” said Molly. Mr Blencowe’s advice for other couples was simply to “stay true blue to yourself and your partner.” Bill and Joyce Kershaw, married 59 years, say that they’ve never celebrated Valentine’s Day but are clearly still romantic. Although Mr Kershaw enjoys
the company of ladies and was delighted to be “surrounded by women” in the interview, it’s obvious that there’s definitely only one lady for him. “He’s never bought me flowers, but he’s bought me a few drinks of Scotch Whisky,” Mrs Kershaw said. The couple don’t have plans for Valentine’s Day other than to enjoy each other’s company as they would every day. “I might buy her a bottle of Sherry, it’s cheaper than Scotch Whisky,” Mr Kershaw joked. Mr and Mrs Kershaw met at a local dance and in the early days of the relationship Mr Kershaw said he had to “hitchhike” out to Jerangle to see Joyce at her home. When asked if they are still just as in love as when they were married, Clyde replied “I make out that I am,” Joyce laughed, “He’s not a bad old bloke.” Pat and Denis Minehan overcame all obstacles to be together and haven’t let each other go since that day 61 years ago. Pat recalled seeing Denis for the first time when he came to pick up his mail from her father’s post business. “I saw him and that was it, I fell in love with him straight away…and I chased him mercilessly,” Mrs Minehan said. For their first date Denis took Pat to Bowral Café and bought her tea and cigarettes but they went for many other dates to the cinemas in Sydney as well. Married in 1952 at Mossvale Catholic Church and still in love, this couple is a perfect example of marriage. “He’s never been an overly romantic person. He barely says
Bill and Joyce Kershaw – married for 59 years.
Molly and Clyde Blencowe – married for 66 years.
Pat and Denis Minehan – married for 61 years. ‘I love you’ but he shows it in many other ways,” said Pat. Mrs Minehan believes that there is no true secret to being in a relationship for so long; her advice is simply to: “Just go with the flow. You have to be tolerant of one another and basically I’ve loved him for 61 years.” All three of the couples admitted that the idea of love held by society and how it’s displayed has changed significantly over the years. Similarly the idea of Valentines Day has also changed. Mr

Blencowe believes that Valentine’s Day has encouraged love to become commercialised and used for publicity rather than used to celebrate love in its true form. But despite this, giving your partner some chocolates, flowers or simply letting them know you love them on Valentine’s Day won’t hurt a bit. Or you could even take a hint from Mr Kershaw’s book and try to win your partner over with a glass of scotch.

Cross-border collaboration to benefit southern nsw patients
The Member for Monaro John Barilaro joined NSW Health Minister Jillian Skinner on her visit to Queanbeyan and Canberra Hospitals today, to announce new crossborder collaborations with the ACT that will allow access to more timely and quality care for southern NSW patients. Mrs Skinner toured both Hospitals’ before making the announcement with ACT Chief Minister Katy Gallagher and Mr Barilaro. Mr Barilaro said today’s announcements would provide access for southern NSW residents to specialist renal services and rapid access to care for patients with heart attack symptoms. “This agreement reinforces the NSW Government’s commitment to renal services in the area, following the announcement of a new four-bed renal unit at Cooma to be completed later this year,” Mr Barilaro said. Mrs Skinner said it’s important that strategies and solutions are developed to make access to quality healthcare easier for cross-border communities. “Through initiatives such as the Cardiac Reperfusion Program and the Integrated Renal Network we are providing more responsive services to cross border rural communities – improving patient outcomes and saving lives,” Mrs Skinner said. The Cardiac Reperfusion Program is designed to help patients from rural communities in southern NSW receive faster care from the first onset of symptoms of acute coronary syndrome.
Cooma-Monaro Shire Council
Communication breakdown The famous lyrics in the Roy Orbison heart-felt song of the ‘60s may have brought joy to musical fans in the Cooma-Monaro region at the time and since, but the opposite was evident at several recent meetings at the Numeralla, Nimmitabel and Kybeyan halls.
Health Minister Jillian Skinner, Member for Monaro John Barilaro and Roy Blewitt (patient at the Queanbeyan Hospital renal unit). “Time to treatment is critical for patients who have a heart attack. If blood flow is continuously interrupted to heart muscle, patients may die or have irreparably damaged hearts,” Mrs Skinner said. “This innovative new model of care is saving lives, by making it possible to provide faster treatment to patients in southern NSW through collaboration with cardiology and emergency physicians at Canberra Hospital.
“The Integrated Renal Network will reduce the need for southern NSW patients to travel to the ACT for renal care, give clinical staff the opportunity for further education and provide high quality renal services into the future. “Under this new agreement, NSW Health will provide the facilities, nursing, allied health, medical and surgical requirements, while the ACT Health will provide specialist medical staff,” Mrs Skinner said.

He has past experience as a Police Officer and was the Unit Controller of the SES Snowy River Unit for 12 years, receiving the Service Medal and awarded the SES Commissioner’s Commendation Award for excellence and foresight. This award is the highest award given to any SES volunteer. The 42 other volunteer unit members come from Adaminaby, Berridale, Cooma, Jindabyne and areas in between. The Alpine Lakes Unit held its first awards ceremony and official opening on Saturday February 2 at the Berridale Hall. Although the team has already been running for 18 months their first assessment and official opening as the Alpine Lakes Marine Rescue Unit occurred on Saturday February 2. Members were presented with their First Aid Certificates, Inland Operator Rating, Leading Crew Rating, Crew Members Rating and Administration and Trainers insignias. It’s been a big few weeks for the the Alpine lakes Unit who also held their first search and rescue exercise ‘SAREX’ last saturday and Sunday on Lake Jindabyne. The joint two-day exercise was designed to provide training for a multi-agency marine search and rescue event on our lakes and foreshores. Saturday consisted of theory based lectures and workshops held in Jindabyne Memorial Hall starting at 8am and finishing at 3.30pm. It was a very busy day broken up by a barbecue lunch held
From the desk of the General Manager, Mr John Vucic
at Jindabyne Fire Station for all participating members. The workshop was designed to provide emergency service personnel with an understanding of Marine Search and Rescue planning methodology. It was to practice the coordination of a marine search and rescue incident and familiarise personnel with the vessels, equipment and capability across local Emergency Services with respect to marine search and rescue. Sunday practical on the water search was a simulated search and rescue exercise. Two realistic situations requiring a search and rescue response from two scenarios’ were co-ordinated and targets placed in the water for the searching crews and vessels to find. The first exercise was coordinated by the NSW Police Force and the second was co-ordinated on the water by Marine Rescue NSW Alpine Lakes Unit. The method used in finding the targets was a coordinated parallel tracking search on the lake using agency vessels assisted by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter from Moruya. Marine Rescue NSW Alpine Lakes Unit thanks all those involved in the co-ordination and running of this successful event. If you are interested in joining Marine Rescue NSW Alpine Lakes Unit for some serious fun, lots of study and achievements please call 0429 026 883.

The meetings highlighted inadequate or non-existent warning communications through both mobile and landline phones. UHF radios were also useless and news updates through local media stations and RFS web pages were either misleading or non-existent. Such were some of the more serious claims of a community that was desperate for current news in the wake of the Yarrabin-Kybeyan fires that raised serious life-threatening exposure, confusion and unnecessary hype and anxiety even among some of the emergency crews. Councillors expressed their concerns at the inadequate responses from the NBN executive and the Federal Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, when issues of inadequate communications were raised with them last year; the potential risks to life and property if a fire was to break out were highlighted at these meetings. The installation of several repeater towers to provide mobile and UHF coverage were also raised with Telstra as a possible solution for this area, with no success. Well, the fires did eventuate and council will be making a strong representation to the respective governments for funding to make sure that adequate communications are provided to these vulnerable areas of our community. I can only endorse the comment of the mayor, Cr Dean Lynch, who pointed out recently: "We were lucky this time that no lives were lost.” Unfortunately, the fires have left quite a number of community members, whose properties were damaged, traumatised. This damage is being currently addressed through the Local Emergency Management Committee and the State Government. Well done to BlazeAid and all their volunteers for the work they are doing to repair and replace fencing lost in the fires and to our local services clubs who are keeping these volunteers well fed. The work on the emotional healing of our affected community members will take some further time.

postman calls
Now the State Government has introduced the no-smoking laws at sporting venues, The Postman asks – who is going to policy this latest edict from our Nanny State? Observed at the Cooma Rodeo on the weekend – any number of smokers lighting up around the arena, exercising what they believed to be their right to smoke in public. They obviously didn’t know (or possibly care) that there are no regulations forbidding such activity. So again the question – who polices the no smoking laws? The rodeo organisers certainly don’t have time to be shifting through their 2000-odd patrons, checking if they’re not smoking. So what is the point of banning smoking if the people doing the banning aren’t also the ones enforcing their draconian rules? No doubt some bureaucrat will now decide to fine event organisers for not supplying smoke police. And while on the subject of governments – who else is going to be forced to drop their private health insurance due to the Gillard Government’s decision to increase health insurance premiums by 5.6 percent? Seriously – what is the joint of private health insurance? For most procedures, people can’t claim on their private health and have to rely on a pittance from the Medicare rebate. As to the cost of insurance – if we all saved the money we spent on private health insurance, we would probably be able to pay for our medical services and still have change. Perhaps it’s time to go back to the future – allow people to be members of the ambulance fund, thereby covering their ambulance transport and hospital, dentist, medical, etc, service which suit their needs, not a whole package. While most funds offer ‘customised’ cover, they really aren’t customised enough for most of us. The whole system stinks!

Riposte Lisa Ashurst You know, you’ve got to hand it to chooks. As domestic pets go, chooks would have to be one of the easiest to keep happy and in return they will give you eggs - and meat if you are into bumping them off which I’m not, hence just eggs in this household. All they ask of you is feeding once a day and they are as happy as the next guy. Ours are especially happy as they get to run around on scenic acres from sun-up to sun down and then they follow me back to their pen (with comfortable little cubby house within) to find a generous scattering of scratch mix along with a fine selection of fruit and veggie scraps waiting for them. They gobble it all down and then put themselves to bed. They get talked to, patted and generally cared for pretty well so it’s a good life they have with me, that’s for sure. But as I mentioned, in return for all this they lay very regularly and I will never run short of eggs while they live and I’m talking a lot of eggs here. Big brown ones from Blanche the big brown hen and lots of pretty blue-shelled ones from the others which means I need to be fairly savvy with ways to use them. Well there’s egg flips, omelettes, desserts, poached, fried and soft and hard boiled. Then there are friends who don’t
have the luxury of chooks who are happy to take a dozen of my pretty-hued eggs but I have to tell you, if it wasn’t for all of the above I would be swimming in them! Someone did suggest that maybe I should cut back on giving my chooks such a good time which may cause them to be less generous in the laying department but the problem with that is that I love them to bits and would rather be up to my eyeballs in eggs than to see them looking sad. Chooks can look sad. Anyway, all these eggs is another reason why I am also hanging out for my Internet connection because despite all the things I can do with those eggs now, I need some new ideas and/or recipes as I have been doing those other things with them for a few years now and would welcome some new ideas. Guaranteed there is a lot of info out there for things to do with eggs. Like I said, chooks are good value and make great pets and if mine lay like there’s no tomorrow then that’s okay. It’s a sign they are happy. Right now, they are dozing in the soft grasses beneath a row of shady Australian natives and look blissfully happy, which will last until Cinnamon (Desk Companion) decides to take her mad half hour into their midst, which she’s about one minute away from doing. It could put them off the lay if she keeps it up…

COUNCIL communiqué RECLASSIFICATION OF COMMUNITY AND OPERATIONAL LAND
Nimmitabel water restriction update Nimmitabel’s water restrictions have been lifted from level 6 (domestic use only) to level 3 (conservation measures). An increase in surface flow in the MacLaughlin River following recent rain events allows for a relaxation of the level 6 restrictions. An updated water restriction notice was delivered to the residents of Nimmitabel by Wednesday 6 February 2013. The level 3 restriction applies from 12:00 midnight on 6 February and will continue until further notice.

The annual renovation of the Cooma Showground, following the equestrian event in January, is well under way. Once the top soil has been delivered, it is spread by the bob cat and later levelled off, covering some of the rough areas, and rubbed in with the level lawn attachment. It is important that this is all done in dry conditions as the soil cannot be worked with if it gets wet during the operation. It is also very important that not too much soil covers the grass (and new seed) growing underneath the patches being covered. The showground arena is closed for use until March so that the surface can be prepared for the winter.

At 95 years old, bouncing around the tennis court and smashing a return would seem like something that should be a distant memory, but not for Myrtle Boate. Her recent acclamation at the Australia Day Ceremony saw her receive the Sports Star of the Year Award, something that after almost 90 years of playing tennis she definitely deserves. Myrtle has lived at Peak View her entire life; she was born in Numeralla on January 18 in 1918 and preceded to play her first game of tennis at the age of 6. “If I can just last one more year then I will make it 90 years of playing,” she said. You could almost say it’s been 90 years of non-stop playing for Myrtle who first learnt her skills by hitting a ball against the chimney with a bat. Interviewing someone like Myrtle is something that is immediately inspiring and motivating, this was emulated through stories that her fellow Cooma Royal Tennis Club players mentioned while we were there. One such story told of a man who had recently had a triple bypass, he was in the hospital in Canberra and was not allowed to leave until he could walk up and down the stairs a certain amount of times. When he got to the top of the stairs on his first trip the nurse told him he had done well and he could rest, instead he replied with ‘No I can’t rest, I need to be able to keep up with 90-year-old Myrtle on the tennis court!’ Myrtle makes the trip into Cooma for games twice a week, she enjoys the social side as well as the competitiveness that the group share. “Tennis has helped me stay fit and healthy,” she explained, “I have always been on the go, I don’t sit down
much.” Her first racket she ever owned was made at the Badger Saw Mill that was owned by Harry Broadhead, it had gut strings and was “…a very good racket!” said Myrtle. She is a firm believer
that tennis has definitely helped her reach her age and continue to live such a prosperous life. “Tennis is good for you physically, it’s good for you mentally and it’s good for you socially,” she explained. Playing tennis has taken her all over t h e country, from Bega all the way to Bourke. She has competed in 45 consecutive annual NSW Country Week Tennis Carnivals since 1954 and when she was young she travelled every weekend to play in tournaments. Myrtle has successfully won the Country Week title eight times in her career; she began in A grade (or division one) and has competed in every grade since then. From 1942 to 1984, Myrtle operated the Jerrangle telephone exchange; she called herself the telephone girl and the postmistress. “The Post Office was the hub of the community back then,” she explained, “Now I look at my great grandchildren with their mobile phones and I wonder, ‘how would they have dealt with it back then?’” she said. Myrtle explained the complexities involved with calling someone when the line I operated through the telephone exchange, she believes that the children of today
would not understand something as complex as this when it comes to something that they consider to be so simple, making a telephone call. In her time Myrtle has been well known throughout the community, she was almost the star of the 2002 ‘sporty ‘n’ naughty’ calendar with her volunteering to pose front row in the tennis club photograph, all at 84 years of age. She has been president and secretary at different times of the Monaro Handcourt Tennis Association and has the record of playing every competition since the association was formed in 1957. She has had much success in her tennis career, winning a trophy at every place she has ever played, but not necessarily at every tournament she has competed in. Her list of successes include; winning the Monaro District Singles six years in succession, Winning Cobargo Open singles six years in succession, Winning Bermagui Open singles three years in succession which lead to her winning the O’Shea Cup outright and winning the Bega Open Singles. With no signs of Myrtle slowing down any time soon, she has the ability to add 90 years of successive tennis to this list this time next year. There is no question why Myrtle has achieved the honour of Sports Person of the Year for our shire and it won’t be a surprise if she wins it again in the future, as her previous record supports her ability to back up.

New faces at The Tourist Cafe
Kaeliff Khouri and Mya Issa and staff at The Tourist Cafe, Cooma. The Tourist Café has been a survivor over the years and has established itself as a huge part of Cooma. Many Cooma locals can relay childhood memories of the Tourist Café, munching on chips and gravy and milkshakes with friends as an afternoon snack or spending their Sunday night eating hamburgers with the family. As a restaurant whose reviews have been up and down over the years, the new management team Kaeliff Khoury and Mya Issa are hoping to put The Tourist Café back on the Cooma eatery map. “We don’t intend to change too much, just clean it up, paint it and bring in some flavour,” Said Mya. For those who are worried that ‘the Tourist’ may be getting a total revamp, rest assured that it will still offer the same great food and service only better and cleaner. “We just want to get across that it’s not going to be the same old Tourist Café, we plan to provide better consistent service, brighter décor and a better place to bring the kids,” explained Kaeliff.
Kaeliff also revealed that the Café will be holding a colouring in competition each week for children who eat there. The entries will be displayed in the café’s window and the winner will receive a free meal. It’s obvious that the Tourist Café is a family friendly and orientated business with both Kaeliff and Mya’s families being very involved with the business, helping out with the delicious new Traditional Lebanese cakes and treats which will be available at the café. With the business’s revamp will come new guidelines and workplace procedures for staff which will ensure everything in the business runs smoothly and that the experience is enjoyable for both customers and staff. With Kaeliff being hugely involved in Cooma’s sporting culture himself it’s important to him that The Tourist Café is also involved and therefore he has decided that the business will sponsor the Cooma Stallions. So for a new and improved experience of the café you’ve always loved, go check out The Tourist Café under it’s new management team for delicious food and improved service.

Even if he is slowing down, his work is still valuable to the wider community and this award recognises that. Vern explained that to even be nominated for citizen of the year is an honour in itself, especially when the names of the 16 other nominees have such impressive lists of achievements following them. Finally, Vernon said that he had a lot of people to thank in regards to have been given the opportunity to be such an avid emergency services volunteer, “To be an emergency services volunteer you need the support of many people, your family, friends, colleagues, the principal of the school and of course my wife,” he said. “I’m a very lucky man.” Vern said he was appreciative to the people who nominated him and he is honoured to be chosen, still drives for community transport and “I am honoured to be a member of the is still involved with the SES, so you community in Cooma,” he said. could say he is retired from high school

Monaro Property Muster - Wednesday February 13, 2013
Fishing, Holiday, Family or Home? $449,000
The amount of questions I receive is great? Why? Because I love to help people and it is when people ask questions, they help themselves. Sadly too many people invest in property without all the required knowledge. What you need to know for maximum returns and what mistakes and traps to avoid. Questions are a great way to get the answers to YOUR success rather than pain.
Located in Buckenderra on 7 Acres, this property has it all… 4 Bedrooms, Ensuite & Modern kitchen. • Large living and dining area • Huge verandah and entertaining deck • Wood heating • 55,000 ltr concrete water tank • 7 acres • Double Garage • Beautiful rural setting • Adjacent to Buckenderra • Sweeping views of Lake Holiday Village Eucumbene & mountains • 25 mins drive from Cooma
AUCTION
So for the next few weeks I am going to answer your questions, I have a few here to start with and please if there is anything you would like to know about property investment please do not hesitate to ask by sending me an email, with as many questions as you like.

HERE’S A LITTLE CLASSIC
Q1) IS 2013 A GOOD TIME TO INVEST? A) As they say the best time to invest was yesterday. This is true as long as you are investing in the right location at the right time of the property cycle. People often ask me what cycle are we in now. I always have to reply as every city cycles at different times.
A tastefully presented fibro home with exciting potential located close to the CBD. Comprising: • Two spacious bedrooms, plus a third smaller room • Gas and wood heating • Separate dining • A rear sunroom • Functional kitchen • Land size 542m2 The home is in a very desirable location only minutes to the shops and schools. It would suit a first home buyer or investor so take advantage of this perfect opportunity.
But by saying all that as I wrote in the first couple of weeks this year. There is a number of good reasons why 2013 will be a strong time to invest. Q2) IS THE MINING BOOM OVER? A) Not even close is the straight up answer, we only hear doom and gloom in the news, the fact is it is never a boom it is a mining continuum, and as much as you either like it or not Mining in Australia is not going anywhere for a long time, there is $20billion in just two new Mega Mines opening up in the Galilee Basin in Central QLD. WA is going off there is so much going on over there and Perth is leading the Nations capitals with capital growth. If you want to invest in Perth you need to jump in now before it is too late.

Dragonboating season has once again hit the Monaro region and this can only mean one thing: fierce competition on Lake Jindabyne for the eighth annual Flowing Festival. This is a call out for the whole region including Cooma, Dalgety and Berridale to get your teams in NOW! Entries are open for community teams to get on-board and entry forms are available from www.flowingfestival. com.au. Dragonboating is a one of the fastest growing sports across Australia. Community teams of 20 paddlers will be paddling over a 200 metre course on Lake Jindabyne out the front of Banjo Paterson Park. Training and expert guidance will be given to teams on the Saturday afternoon and competitions will run all day on Sunday. Fun is emphasized with the
community teams, and they are encouraged to dress up with cash prizes and trophies on offer for the best dressed (as well as fastest) teams on the water. Previous winners have included jungle animals, a boat of Stigs and the ever dominate Tyrolean Village BraBoyz. The hotly contested Mountain Challenge will also be running to see which resort is best, at least out on the water. Once again Thredbo, Perisher and Charlottes Pass will be competing to defend their trophy. For those not competing there will be market stall, carnival rides and food stalls so why not come down and enjoy the competitions and festivities? Whether you are competing or enjoying a great day out we look forward to you getting on-board for the 8th annual Lake Jindabyne Flowing Festival.

Farmers energy efficiency
TREE SERVICES

7/02/2013
Jemalong Wool - Market Reporting
An industry survey conducted by the association in December 2012 found more than 67 percent of farmers had implemented some form of some energy saving measures. Some respondents (16 percent) had undertaken energy audits or consultations. Fewer than 10 percent of respondents said they were knowledgeable about efficiency opportunities and confident to take action. NSW Farmers is currently seeking Federal Government funding in partnership with Energetics to implement a major energy information program for the agriculture sector based around detailed case studies across the range of production systems. Mr Eyre said current government energy information programs have largely missed small to medium sized farm enterprises of which there are 38,000 in NSW. “To take action, farmers need access to reliable technical information about the specific options for their property, the merits of competing vendor solutions and the financial costs and benefits.�

NSW Farmers said today the agriculture sector could improve upon its competitive position by implementing energy efficiency measures and adopting renewable technology solutions. General Manager, Research and Development, David Eyre said energy has become a major cost for agriculture and the association has been working to better understand the solutions. Analysis conducted for the association by the consulting firm, Energetics, shows that farmers in NSW could cut energy bills in the order of $26 million over two years in the areas of farm vehicles and irrigation water pumping alone. Further savings could be achieved in many areas including switching to more efficient and lower greenhouse impact refrigerant gases, optimising timing of energy use, improving the ventilation and insulation of facilities, converting waste streams to energy and installation of solar technology. Using best available data, Energetics found that farms in NSW consume $900 million (24 petajoules) of energy per annum, $535 million of which is used by irrigation-intensive farms.

OJD plan amendments released
Wool Marketing - Not just wool selling
‘
Sheep on show
Control and protected areas will be scrapped, along with the ABC point scheme, in changes announced to the national ovine Johnes disease plan for Australia. WoolProducers Australia and the Sheepmeat Council of Australia released the proposed amendments to the plan, which will come into effect on July 1. The five-year plan was originally meant to come into effect in January but producers pushed for a delay to clear up uncertainty surrounding some aspects of the plan. While there was clear agreement that there should be a national program and that research and development should continue to be funded, activities including abattoir monitoring and the ABC system were seen as constraints. The amendments include a simpler management system that relies on a risk management approach, encouraging producers to collectively develop their own regional biosecurity plans. Zones, including the former proposed control and protected areas, will be scrapped and the ABC point scheme removed. Sheep health statements will
continue under the amended plan. WoolProducers Australia president Geoff Power said the industry must take responsibility for OJD management. He said that developed with industry, the amended plan would help to slow the spread of the disease and reduce the financial, health and welfare effects on the industry. “We have removed the ABC point scheme which producers found confusing but will continue to encourage vaccination and abattoir testing for monitoring individual flock OJD control programs and as an assurance tool in low risk flocks,” Power said. “Vaccination is encouraged in conjunction with a regional approach to biosecurity. “However state governments have indicated they do not have a role in the approval process for RBPs which means designating areas as protected or control is impossible to enforce.” Comments and feedback on the amendments are being sought by March 1, before a final policy paper is developed and communicated to the industry by July.

Local sisters working their way towards vet career Studying to be a Veterinary scientist is a demanding challenge for anyone. But for local sisters Sandra and Libby Summerell, the task is made a little easier, as they can study together. The two sisters from Cathcart, near Bombala, are both embarking on 3rd Year Vet Science at Charles Sturt University, Wagga. They have shared a flat in Wagga since they started the course, and so far they have passed all their subjects with flying colours. Sandra, 22, and Libby, 20 both attended Bombala High School. Sandra started her university career at Latrobe Uni in Melbourne, studying Animal Science, but decided to change to Veterinary Science at Wagga. Libby, by this time, had completed her HSC, and so they both started the Wagga CSU Vet course in the same year. Sandra says she loves the Wagga campus. “It’s a country area and I feel more at home there. It’s a more relaxed pace than in the city. Everyone dresses casually and it’s a lifestyle that fits well with the study we have to do.” “The lecturers are great” says Libby. “You can knock on their door if you find yourself struggling with a subject. They get to know us well, as there are
about seventy students in each year group.” Sandra and Libby both receive funding support from the Monaro Education Foundation, since starting the course. “It’s a major help”, says Sandra, “as our workload for study makes it hard to have time for a part time job.” During the holidays both girls work in a local shearing team to help pay their way through university. Sandra and Libby are enjoying the range of work placements they undertake in the course, from dairy and beef cattle, to sheep, poultry and working in a piggery. After completing the five and a half year course, Sandra says her dream job is to work in a rural vet practice. The Monaro Education Foundation is this year providing funding support to 23 local students, a total of $17,750. This Thursday night, at the Cooma Cinema, The Monaro Education Foundation will screen the new movie “Hitchcock”, at 8 pm. Proceeds raised will be used to assist local students, like Libby and Sandra, towards their chosen career. Tickets at the door $20.
The Adaminaby Branch of the CWA have decided to sponsor young entrepreneurs of the community who have a great idea to make money and need somewhere to market their products.
you want to do. You will also have to follow when laws governing what you sell eg labelling on food, paying particular attention to weights and measures rules, being particular to ensure that what you sell is safe etc. and that your set up is safe for the general public. This project is for kids up to 18 years of age who with some adult help and supervision will be setting up and marketing their products themselves. The Adaminaby members are looking forward to seeing what ideas our future lions of industry present and are delighted to have this opportunity to be able to help. For more information about the project or contacts for your local branch please ring Judy on 02 6454 1624.
Young entrepreneurs
At the Easter Fair this year, the young entrepreneur can set up a stall on the CWA grounds at no cost to themselves and provided they have spoken to their local CWA Branch and they have confirmed with Adaminaby then they will be covered by our insurance. These two expenses are a real hurdle for kids with great ideas but little money. Last year a local young man set up a stall selling sheep manure but by the time he had paid these expenses he was out of pocket. You will have to provide your own tables and set ups, power and water may be available depending on what

Cooma women’s bowls Bowls last Tuesday saw just the right temperature and the greens were also running well, thanks to green-keeper and helpers. The final of the Club Triples between M Zasso, L Snell, M D’Amico and K Sach, R Steinfort, OJebbink, was a real nail biter right down to the finish. Play was very even at the start but by end nine Margherita’s team had a 10-3 lead. By end 12 Kath’s team had picked up seven shots to be 10 all, a turn around then saw Kath’s team leading 16-10 on end 15 , six shots to Margherita on the 16 and 17th ends and the score was locked at 16 all with one end to play now with the new 18 end rule. Kath’s team were lucky enough to play the winning shot to win 17 to 16. Congratulations to all the players it was a great game to watch and played in a true final spirit.

Great night for hurdling With all of our low hurdles out for the 60m hurdles and the condition just right for running fast times on freshly mowed track with extra bounce from recent rain. We used all the hurdles to maximize the usage of the remaining starting caps (our supplies are dwindling rapidly as new stock still not available in Australia for another month or more). U/12 was first away with Alyssa Zusak skimming lightly over the 6 flight to record her Personal Best time for the season with 12.65sec with Bailey Rogers and Bradley Pevere in hot pursuit. Bailey recorded his second best time of 13.05sec and Bradley 14. 43sec The hurdles were lowered for the U/11 and 10 age group, their hurdles are set at 60cms. In the U/11 Girls all six lanes were use for the for this race, Emma McDonald grab an early lead and held on to smash her previous best by lowing her time 1.5 seconds down to 12.83 sec, a great result. Chelsea Lunt had a battle to hold off Emma Watkins for 2nd; Chelsea stopped the clock at 14.10 sec and Emma Watkins 14.44 sec only half a metre behind Chelsea. While in the boys Nicholas Zusak impressed everyone with his style as he cruised to the line in 12.21 sec. There was a another battle going on back in the pack between Eddy Clarke and Will Cahill with Will outlasting Eddy’s sprint to the line, with both clocking impressive times, Will’s 13.19 sec (PB) and Eddy’s 13.47 sec and then came Jonno Tame running PB of 15.10 sec. As the U/10 lined up for the start we had the sprinter Hugo Steiner versus the Hurdler Jordan Davis. As the race unfolded Jordan sneaked ahead of Hugo on all hurdles by keeping a lower profile over each hurdle and then was able to hold off Hugo sprint to the line. Jordan’s time was 12.47 sec and Hugo’s 12.77 sec (P.B.) only 1.40m separated them on the line. Brianna Rankin impressed with her third placing
in this event clocking 13.56 sec (P.B.). The hurdles were lowered again as the younger age groups filed to the start line. Now the hurdles were at their lowest height being 45cms. The U/9 boys race produce the closest finish of the night with Reuben Hooper and Colby McDonald less than 40cms separating them as they meet the judges. Reuben (12.07 sec, P.B.) snarrowly got home ahead Colby (12.15 sec, P.B.). In the U/9 Girls 60m hurdles Jessica Norris produce a PB of 12.68 sec to take out the event. Close on her heals was Lucy Thornton, with a time of 13.05 sec and only just over 1.50 metres away in second place. Rachelle Roberts (14.40s) and Jessie Lunt (15.00s) finished third and fourth. Sariah Clifford (17.58s) took a massive four second time off her first attempt over the hurdles to produce one of her PB’s on the night. The race of the night was the U/8s Boys 60m Hurdles with three of the four boys claiming P.B.’s for the season. Charlie Alcock has taken to hurdles as Duck to Water; Charlie has set P.B. each time he steps to the starting line. This week he lob off ¾ of a second to record 12.88 sec. Kristian Zusak pushed hard to catch Charlie over last 10m and was within 1 ½ metres of as they crossed the finish line. Alex Gould, another 1 ½ metres away in 3rd place. Justin McDonald finished just behind the top 3 with a Personal Best Time of 14.65 sec. Clara Thornton posted an excellent time as she kept pace with the boys recording 14.85 sec over this distance. Selene Shean trying the Hurdles for the first time is looking forward to her next encounter with them. Selene recorded 19.78 sec for her effort. U/7 Boys also turn out a thriller of a race with 3 of the boy within 2.30 metres of each other as they raced across the finishing line. Stephen Davis
(15.16s PB) manage to hold off Gus Brabham (15.59s) and Callum Davis (15.87s P.B.) over the final stages of the race. Molly Norris (U/7 girl) is showing her potential as a Hurdler as she skim med over the 6 flight on her way to posting another P.B. in the time of 14.89 sec. Adel Lunt and Felicity Tame produced their second best time for the season, with Adel clocking 15.68 sec and Felicity 18.66 sec. Finally it was the U/6’s turn to try out the 60m hurdles, it’s great achievement for these young athletes to manage to clear all 6 flights of hurdles and stay on their feet as they sprint to the finish line. They all managed to do this, this week, plus 2 PB’s and one nearly equalling her PB… Damien Kennedy pick up his PB with an excellent time of 17.58 sec. Nevesh Assanaski was 1/100th of a second off her PB with impressive time of 18.89 sec. The Pevere Twins Michael and Samuel love racing each other, this week Michael recorded 21.17 sec (P.B.) and Samuel 22.86 sec. The Hurdles were refigured for the U/13’s from 60m to 80m and two extra flights added as well as increase in height to 72 cms. It’s good to see Liam Rankin back on deck after a foot problem that forces him to take time out. Liam was our only runner for the U/13 Plus age group, so U/12 Bailey Roger step up to give Liam some competition over this distance. Liam a novice ate this height and distance recorded 17.84 sec. Bailey time was not recorded, which was a pity as this is his second time over this distance that Bailey has aided other runners. Also this is the event that Bailey will be running later in the season as U/13. Regional Championships entries must be In on February 14. Remembering there is only four weeks to regional champs, so see you at training.
Where have all the bowlers gone? Last Saturday only three players turned up for Social Bowls, hence no competition. Of the five Major singles set down only three were played but a fourth appears to have been decided with a forfeit. Peter Marsicano and Niel McGregor went pretty much shot for shot over the early stages of their Major Singles battle to be 12/12 after twenty-one ends. At that point Niel commenced a winning streak that took him to a 27/18 lead and eventually win 31/21. Brian Seears dropped six shots to Mel Storta on the first two ends and was forced to play catch up bowls for the entire match. wAt one stage he trailed 7/18, but four ends for seven shots put him back in contention at 14/18. In the run home Mel dominated to win 34/15. John Schoon made a good start against Peter Caldwell to lead 10/5 after 10 ends, injury to Peter proved too much for him to
overcome John’s accuracy, with the latter winning 31/12. District Singles commenced last Saturday morning with the following results. State Singles M Buckley defeated J Schoon in a close one 31/29. C Demczuk defeated M Griffiths 31/6. D Turner defeated D Pinner 31/15. Senior Singles P Marsicano defeated J Sajina 31/22. Saturday afternoon matches brought all three events to semi-final stage and these will be played on Saturday morning February 16 with Finals in the afternoon. State Singles, S Harriden defeated G Griffen 31/16, M Storta defeated D Turner 31/24, M Buckley defeated C Demczuk 31/29, Reserve Singles S Seears defeated J Barnes 31/15, M Frezza defeated G D’Amico 31/18, G Taylor defeated K Weston 31/22, Reserve Singles P Mariscano defeated L Whitehead 31/9, P Schroeder defeated E Corby 31/7, P Cannell defeated I Mondello 32/22,

Reserve Singles, P Caldwell v G Taylor and M Frezza v S Seears. Senior Singles, P Schroeder v P Cannell and N McGregor v P Marsicano. In the only Social Game on Sunday J Vincent, J Lumsden and D Steinfort proved to be too consistent A Crowe, R Nichols and N Wallace with a 24/13 victory.

Any one waiting to play but not yet entered should contact Guilio D’Amico on 6452 1016 by Wednesday to see if he can fit you in. Two games of eighteen ends and lunch for $15.00 with good prize money.

Cats primed for 2013 AFL season
Cooma Cats Football Club The Cooma Cats Australian Rules Football Club is primed for another year of improvement on and off the field as preparations for the 2013 AFL season get into full swing. Cooma Cats club president Stuart Wood said 2013 was shaping up to be one of the best for the Cats after a strong period of growth and consolidation over the past five years. “We are very excited about our prospects both on and off the field this season,” Mr Wood said. The Cooma Cats currently field a senior team in the AFL Canberra Division Three competition and an Under 14 side in the AFL Canberra Junior league.
Over the past five years, the Cats have demonstrated continual improvement ion both competitions. The senior side is now entrenched in the top half of their competition while the Under 14 side, the Snowy Supercats, continues to enhance its reputation as a competitive side which is hard to beat at home. “In the space of five years, the senior side has gone from perpetual ‘easy-beats’ to a team which has been on the verge of playing finals football in one of the toughest football competitions in the region,” Mr Wood said. “And this year will be no exception with 13 teams from Goulburn, Cootamundra, Yass, Canberra,
Bateman’s Bay and Cooma fighting for a spot in the finals. It won’t be easy but we’ll be enjoying the challenge. “And as for our Under 14 side, its a tough ask taking on the wellresourced Canberra clubs, but it is a task our juniors relish and their enthusiasm has won them a great deal of respect,” he said. The Cats - both seniors and juniors - started training in late January. Training is held at Snowy Oval on Tuesdays (6:30pm) and Thursdays (7pm). “We welcome anyone, regardless of skill, age or gender, to come on down and join in the training and see what the Cats are all about,” Mr

Cooma Golf Club putting carbon where it belongs A greener Australia, enriched environment and reduced production costs for Land Managers is the focus of Canberra-based Australian Soil Management (ASM) through its innovative solution to improve soil quality and enhance moisture levels by capturing and storing carbon. A pilot-scale project is being supported by the ACT Government under the Innovation Connect Grant Program to develop and test soil management plans in the ACT at four sites including sporting ovals and golf courses. “We are very proud and excited to be the first golf course in Australia and the world to be trialling a new environmentally friendly and sustainable approach to improving and managing fairways,” President of the Cooma Golf Club, Ray Bilbow, said. “Plants use free carbon dioxide out of the air to capture carbon”, according to ASM co-founder Dr Greg Bender, one of Australia’s most experienced and knowledgeable scientists in the field of soil biology and organic matter. “We are working with Land Managers and owners to make sure most of this ends up in the soil. Currently, a soil may hold 100 tonnes of organic matter per hectare when it has the capacity to hold 400.” Australian soils are old, weathered and usually very low in organic matter. More carbon stored as organic matter

in soil means more productive green landscapes with improved water storage, more plant nutrients and less need for fertilizers and pesticides. One per cent increase in soil carbon storage over two percent of our continent would neutralise Australia’s CO2 emissions and take eight billion tons of CO2 out of the atmosphere. This represents 15 times Australia’s net annual emissions that would be used to improve and manage Australia’s environment. “It’s the right thing to do” says Dr Bender. Dedicated to smarter land management, he and partner Mr Norman Marshall have joined forces to provide tailor-made soil management strategies for farmers, state and local governments, golf and sports clubs and schools that are more productive, more profitable and more sustainable. “ACT Sport & Recreation are very keen to work with the latest scientific knowledge to ensure that our playing fields are safe and healthy for all individuals and teams and the environment. Working with Australian Soil Management will be very good for all of us,” says Phil Davies, Maintenance Manager, ACT Sport & Recreation Facilities. Over the next two and a half years, ASM will take its “message of hope” and solutions to Land Managers throughout Australia.
