He has strong personal values of self-reliance, integrity, perseverance and hard work. “Peter’s background

2012 local council elections - all done and dusted The September 8 local government elections have now been decided, with the three incumbent mayors all being re-elected. The first popular election of mayor in Snowy River Shire saw John Cahill (pictured) elected, with 1470 votes from Peter Beer on 1069 and John Shumack on 939. Mr Beer and Mr Shumack were re-elected as councillors and have been joined by Vickii Wallace, Bob Frost, Colin Stewart-Beardsley and Bill Smits. Sitting councillor Tony Hayes and candidate Nick Elliott were unsuccessful. Cr Cahill said he was overwhelmed by the support he had received, recording 401 votes more than his closest rival. He welcomed the two new councillors to council, but said the reduced size of council could be a concern. However, he said he looked forward to the new councillors developing their skills while on council and was conscious of the need to let them develop their talents within the council environment. In Bombala, mayor Bob Stewart stole more than 40 percent of the vote to be re-elected to council. He is joined by Bill Bateman, Steve Goodyer, Brad Yelds, Suzanne Haslingden, Joe Ingram and Diane Hampshire. Cr Stewart is now in his fifth term on Bombala Shire Council and will contest the mayoral election on October 3. He said the election had “finished up with a good crew” on council. Asked if councils might face amalgamation within this term, Cr Stewart said he believed all three Monaro councils should retain their autonomy. But he emphasised the need for resource sharing amongst the councils. “Resource sharing is crucial and has to be done through management. It can be done, especially with today’s technology and it has to be done.

Cr Stewart said retaining autonomy would see Bombala Shire ‘running the business” as effectively as possible. He believed amalgamation would costs jobs ‘for no better

service”. He said Bombala Shire was in a ‘pretty good shape” “We have good financials, a good management plan, so its steady as she goes as far as I’m concerned, keeping a good eye on everything”. In Cooma-Monaro Shire, preferences have had a profound effect on final figures. Due to the number of candidates and the complexity of distributing preferences, the final figures weren’t known until late on Thursday. Front-runners on first preferences, Dean Lynch and Bronnie Taylor were returned, as were Winston Phillips, Tony Kaltoum and Martin Hughes. New faces on council for this term are Ignazio Mondello, Rogan Corbett, Craig Mitchell and Angie Ingram. In took nine counts, with the distribution of preferences, to finalise the count, with Tony

Kaltoum the last one elected. Returning mayor, Dean Lynch, has described the result as creating a ‘really workable council”. “It’s a good mix of people with two councillors having more than 20 years experience on council, three councillors part of the last progressive council and four fresh faces, each with various skills and from various backgrounds. “One is a real doer and was named Citizen of the Year this year; one is a developer, who puts his money were his mouth is; one is a female and it’s good to see two females on council. This councillor has a medical background as well as family connections with the region. We also have a councillor who has been a strong voice for the rural voters, as president of the NSW Farmers Association local branch. Cr Bronnie Taylor said she was very happy to be re-elected. “I’m really looking forward to the next four years. ‘I’m looking forward to working with Dean and progressing the shire”. Long-serving councillor Winston Phillips was elected fourth. He said “I would like to thank the residents and ratepayers for their ongoing support and trust in me. “ I will continue to do my best to represent all the residents and ratepayers of our Shire over the next four years.” Cr Martin Hughes said it was very interesting how the preferences had influenced the outcome of the election. He said he will be working to the best of his ability to represent ratepayers. He said Cr Lynch has his full support and he was pleased his (Cr Lynch’s) efforts had been recognised by the community. He also congratulated Craig Mitchell on his election and Rogan Corbett. Cr Mitchell had been selected by the Cooma Australia

News

Day committee chaired by Cr Hughes to be a local ambassador this year and Cr Corbett was chosen by the committee as Citizen of the Year. Cr Tony Kaltoum said he was really happy to b re-elected, after he initially intended to stand down. However, he said he decided to stand again after he saw some of the nominations for council. While happy to be re-elected, Cr Kaltoum said he was very disappointed with the high informal vote count at the election. “We live in the best country in the world _ we are a democracy and we are allowed to vote. It is disappointing some people waste that opportunity. “I am sure I can contribute something back to the community, I am pleased some of the negative candidates didn’t succeed”. New councillor Rogan Corbett said he had been overwhelmed by support in the leadup to the elections. “I’m hoping for a very unified council which will work together to benefit the shire. “There are some issues we need to work on, so let’s get on with the job”. Cr Ignazio Mondello, who has been elected in his third attempt at council, said he would like to help the town to grow, but would also like to see changes to some of the town’s infrastructure. “The town looks a bit depressed at the moment – it’s not really going very well at present”, he said. Cr Craig Mitchell said he was pretty happy to be on and thanked the people who voted for him. “I think local government is very important because it’s where you live and what you live in – it’s about community. I think it’s quite exciting”. Council’s next meeting will be on September 24 when the mayor will be elected for the next 12 months. Cr Lynch will be nominating for mayor again this year.

Small Biz Connect – just replacing lost services? While the Member for Monaro, John Barilaro, has welcomed the launch of Small Biz Connect, a new small business support program, the situation facing small businesses could be much better. Former chairman of the now defunct Snowy Business Enterprise Centre (former BEC), Sid Downie, has expressed frustration with the loss of an existing service due to a lack of government funding and the establishment of a new, similar service, to replace it. Mr Downie said “It’s encouraging to see that the

State Government has found a way to meet its pre-election promise to provide increased funds for the support of the NSW small business community, through its Small Biz Connect program announced last week. “It is, however, galling to reflect on the number of small businesses that might still exist in the region, had Steve Whan and Dr Mike Kelly possessed the foresight, and sufficient interest in the wellbeing of the Snowy-Monaro small business community, to continue to provide the relatively small amount of supportive

funding needed to keep the Snowy Enterprise Centre alive. “Fortunately, the SEC’s premises, the old drill hall in Bombala Street, having been saved from being returned to the Department of Defence and granted to CoomaMonaro Council, will house a good community support initiative, being the tertiary learning centre sponsored by Snowy Hydro and Council. Mr Barilaro said Small Biz Connect will see more support for businesses in the Monaro region. “Under this program the number of business advisors serving

NSW will now triple, with 55 full time equivalent professional advisors across the state.” There will be one full time and three part time professional advisors based at Queanbeyan and they will travel to service the entire region. “Through Small Biz Connect, we will help small business operators to confidently take the next step, whether that is expanding their business, planning for retirement or simply ensuring their business is economically sustainable, Executive Officer at the Capital Region Business Enterprise

Centre,” Steve Jamieson, said. The advisory service is statewide and all businesses in NSW will be able to access professional help and develop local connections needed to survive and thrive. The program is part of the NSW Government’s 50 percent funding boost for small business programs, with $7.5 million now allocated to better support the sector.” If you run a small business and you would like to access support, contact Capital Region Business Enterprise Centre on 6297 3121 or email manager@crbec.com.au <mailto:manager@crbec.com.au>

Stop the brumby cull - Cochran President of the Snowy Mountains Bush Users Group Peter Cochran has challenged the continuation of Brumby culling in the Kosciuszko National Park claiming that further reduction in numbers will lead to an unsustainable number threatening extinction of a National icon. “The NPWS have heavily culled numbers in the Park for several years since the devastating 2003 bushfires which

saw the death of at least a thousand Brumbies across the Park,” Mr Cochran said. “Estimates are that NPWS culling, local captures and natural deaths have accounted for over 2500 Brumbies since the fires. If the current rate of culling continues the Australian high country Brumby faces extinction within five years. “This is unacceptable to SMBUG and the general population. We are therefore calling on Minister Robyn Parker and the Premier to suspend all culling until a sustainable number can be established.” Mr Cochran concluded by thanking Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner for his COOMA Twin Cinema 76 Commissioner Street continued patronage of the Brumby Thursday 20th September – Wednesday 26th September 2012 CLOSED Thursday Association.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR NEW COUNCIL Now that the Local Government Elections are over, the community of Cooma-Monaro Shire have nominated five returning and four new Councillors to plan and oversee the running of a complex community business at a time of great change in Local Government. Staff and senior management extend their sincere congratulations and best wishes to the elected Councillors who now have to take the reins to make further positive differences to the local community in this ever-changing environment. The nine new Councillors are: Dean Lynch, Bronnie Taylor, Winston Phillips, Martin Hughes, Tony Kaltoum, Rogan Corbett, Angela Ingram, Ignazio Mondello and Craig Mitchell. To assist with these new challenges, the NSW Government has provided a not-to-be missed event to support new and returning Councillors with a program that not only addresses the key responsibilities of a Councillor, but addresses the fundamental tools needed to achieve positive community outcomes through civic leadership, planning and managing resources. This special event will not only focus on engaging with the community in setting long term directions of Council but will ensure that money and other limited resources are used effectively through integrated Planning and Reporting processes with staff. It will also address new tools and legislative protocols of delivering outcomes through appropriate conduct and ethical decision making. This workshop is the leading event to assist new and returning Councillors to hit the ground running in 2012 and beyond.

Cloud seeding to boost snow economy NSW Deputy Premier and Nationals Leader Andrew Stoner and Member for Monaro John Barilaro announced last Friday the full operation of cloud seeding in the Snowy Mountains, providing a welcome boost to the local economy and tourism. Mr Stoner and Mr Barilaro made the announcement at Blue Cow in Perisher, where they were joined by Perisher CEO Peter Brulisauer and Snowy Hydro CEO Terry Charlton. The announcement follows a trial cloud seeding program by Snowy Hydro since 2004 which demonstrated an average increase of 14 percent in snowfall in the region. The NSW Government will soon introduce legislation to Parliament to allow ongoing cloud seeding to take place over the entire Snowy water catchment of 5,117 square kilometres. “Ongoing cloud seeding is great news for tourism operators and communities in the Snowy Mountains,” Mr Stoner said. “Full operation of cloud seeding is expected to improve snow depth and the length of the ski season, making the area more attractive to tourists. “While this year we’ve seen the best season in the Snowy Mountains for a long time, we want to give local business every chance of bumper seasons in years to come, particularly as we appear to be moving into another El Niño cycle which is associated with an increased probability of drier conditions. “Maintaining good snowfall will enhance the significant contribution alpine recreation makes to the local and NSW economy, and provide a boost to the many businesses which rely on the ski season and tourism.” Mr Barilaro said cloud seeding is a weather modification technique which involves the introduction of a seeding agent into suitable clouds to encourage the formation and growth of ice crystals or raindrops, enhancing the precipitation falling from the cloud. “Cloud seeding will also result in more consistent energy

All returning and new Councillors will be advised of further professional development that will be provided over the next few weeks.

Emergency exercise important

The intent of this special event is designed to assist all Councillors to develop and update their skills and knowledge and allow returning Councillors to share their experiences of how to be effective to meet the new changes being proposed for Local Government. This special event workshop will be held at the Cooma Ex-Services Club on Thursday, 11 October 2012 at 9.30am. As booking is essential for this event, could all Councillors please advise my Executive Assistant, Lee Evans on 02 6455 1777 who will co-ordinate registrations and any special dietary requirements or special needs. This event is free of charge and is highly recommended as part of Councillor professional development.

production and improved water security for irrigators and the environment,” said Mr Barilaro. “With the expansion of the operational area, there is potential to increase the amount of extra precipitation produced by more than 50 per cent than was produced through the trial area. “This is a big win for the NSW ski fields and the whole Monaro region. “This will play a large role in fulfilling my commitment to make the NSW skifields number one again,” added Mr Barilaro. The Natural Resources Commission, which has monitored the cloud seeding trial, found no evidence that cloud seeding operations have had any adverse environmental impacts or that the chemicals used have accumulated in soils, sediments, water or moss. The Government is committed to maintaining the high environmental integrity of the cloud seeding operations. The forthcoming legislative changes include requirements for Snowy Hydro Limited to prepare and implement an Environmental Management Plan to be approved by the Government and regulatory oversight of cloud seeding operations by the Environmental Protection Agency.

He veered into the path of an oncoming 4WD vehicle being driven by a Cooma woman, who took evasive action. The vehicles still collided and both had to be towed from the scene. Luckily nobody was injured. The ACT driver was charged and issued an infringement notice for negligent driving. Police have issued a request that if you are tired pull over, stop revive survive.

All three shires, Cooma Monaro, Snowy River and Bombala had numerous fires to deal with. The RFS is requesting people to be cautious due to the current dry conditions and large amounts of dry grass growth. Take all precautions before you light the fire. Make sure there are adequate firebreaks in place, suitable fire fighting equipment and that you are experienced in using it. Also notify your neighbours and your local RFS and monitor the weather.

gives the rising stars of the community an opportunity to perform on the stage before a large audience and excellent judges who provided a broad range of encouraging and constructive commentary. The kids come to be educated in Jindabyne and end up with the added benefit of becoming polished performers.” The evening was held to raise funds for the Tim Draxl Performing Arts Scholarship which supports young people from 10 – 18 years from the Snowy River Shire, who wish to undertake advanced study in the performing arts. In just two years, the fund has passed more than $6000 to five talented young people from the region. Applications are now being accepted for the Tim Draxl Performing Arts 2013 Scholarship.

ANU med students say thanks the

postman calls

Who would have thunk it? A funny little caricaturist chappie turns up in the Snowy Mountains and four years later, voila, there’s a flash new book featuring lots of locals. Mick Joffe has battled illness, distance and other obstacles but his latest book, launched on Sunday, was certainly worth the wait. Well done, Mick and well done to all the locals who helped him record some of our most valuable history – our people. One character, former Snowy River Shire mayor, Richard Wallace explained that he had been Joffed “and it wasn’t very pleasant”. ‘Normie’ is character number 146 in the book Luckily, The Postman was far too young to have been ‘Joffed’ on this occasion. Now our local elections have been finalised, The Postman is looking forward to seeing how the new and the old faces meld together to serve their respective communities. We are lucky that in this neck of the woods, we don’t have political candidates muddying the water. So the bets are, odds-on favourites for the mayoral positions, Bob Stewart in Bombala and Dean Lynch in Cooma-Monaro. This will be decided in the next couple of weeks. Now here’s a serious question: With rioters creating mayhem in Sydney over the weekend, The Postman hopes that ASIO or its agents are paying close attention to all footage and determining who the culprits were. If those culprits should prove to be people who have been grated asylum in Australia, will the government have the gumption to deport them? As in, immeditately? We’ll see…

Editor, The ANU Rural Clinical School wishes to thank the Monaro Community members and organisations who have given their time and expertise recently, when 22 ANU Medical Students visited for a week to experience medical practice in a rural setting. Some welcomed the students into their homes, others showed the students their workplaces and practices while others contributed in many other ways to make this Rural Week 2 the best yet. The Community’s support is very much appreciated not only by the organisers, but by the students themselves. Comments from the students were very positive and note the friendly, warm and generous welcome they received. Rural Week is held twice each year – March/April for Year One

students and in August for Year 2. We greatly appreciate the effort and enthusiasm of the Cooma community and look forward to your continuing support in 2013. Thank you to everyone for making the Rural Week Programs so successful. From the feedback we have received, we anticipate that your contributions will materially assist in attracting some of these students to the option of rural practice in the years to come.

Response to letter Editor, In response to Roger Norton’s ‘ad hominem abusive’ approach. I recall having read the recent (almost three months ago) letter Roger Norton is commenting on and have just read it again. I find it fascinating that Mr Norton, himself a councillor of many years, did not dispute any of the observations Glynn Kay made about the negative stare of our council, except to say that Mr Kay got his ABS figures wrong followed by a lame attempt to discredit Mr Kay for a resignation which he (Mr Norton) appeared to have contributed to.

I have lived in Cooma all my life and during the Snowy days the population of Cooma was above 14,000 because of all the workers coming into Cooma. While we are on the subject of wasting money, perhaps Mr Norton (who was a councillor at the time) can explain how the $2 million lost by council’s high risk investment in Rembrandt could have been better spent? Steve O’Donnell Cooma

Response to Norton’s letter Editor, The Snowy Scheme had over 100,000 temporary workers. Cooma’s actual population peaked in the early 1960’s during the Tumut/Eucumbene development era. Temporary residents were not included in local ABS figures. In 2001, I came to the aid of a ratepayer regarding a weed control notice which resulted in a court case which Council lost. I later resigned because I had no support on this issue from any other councillors. As a consequence of the court case and my actions, councils weed control program was halted for five years. The weeds committee was in abeyance for two and a half years.

In 2005 the Noxious Weed Act Amendment bill prevented Council’s previous weeds enforcement policy from imposing hardship on rural landowners. The benefits to the community from these changes far outweighed the costs incurred in the By-election. In contrast, there has been no recovery to date of the $2 million losses incurred from Council’s speculations on the investment market ie The collapsed Amro Rembrandt investment and subsequent lawyers fees.

Council would like to remind residents within the Shire that the storage of materials in laneways and reserves is not permitted without approval from Council. Likewise dumping of material is not permitted and people doing this may be fined. Council endeavours to mow verges, reserves and open space areas within the Shire through a works program, however, often find that residents are using these areas to store cars, household items or rubbish. This makes it difficult for Council workers to complete all the mowing of these areas. A program is currently being developed to ensure that work crews can access these laneways and reserves. All residents are therefore requested to remove any items they may have located on Council land and relocate them within the boundaries of their property. A Free digital photography workshop

Innovative fitness machine now in Cooma Many of you will be familiar with the various models of fitness equipment available but something you may not be too familiar with is the Whole Body Vibration (WBV) machine, as it’s generally not a standard item of exercise equipment to be found around the home or in the gym. The concept itself is not new, having been around for over 100 years, but the more modern version was explored and developed in Russia during the 1970s as a means of countering the affects of space travel, mainly bone and muscle degeneration, in their cosmonauts. It was found that WBV treatment worked very well and soon Russian athletics trainers viewed the technology as having sound potential for their athletes and found that using a WBV machine gave their athletes a competitive edge over those outside of the Eastern Bloc countries. It soon became a regular part of their training as a result and is also in regular use by the Russian Ballet troupe. Such a machine can now be utilised in very pleased to bring the WBV treatment Cooma, thanks to the foresight of Amelia to Cooma. WBV works by stimulating the muscles Lucas, who has 39 years in practice as in a way that traditional exercise routines a physiotherapist behind her and who is

It is especially useful for older people. “There are a lot of older people in Cooma” Ms Lucas said “and they are at risk. WBV can be very good for them though as it improves strength, balance and reduces the risk of falls, which can be so debilitating.” Ms Lucas offers a more personalised consultation. The initial visit is an assessment, which allows her to work out an individual program that will suit what the consultant wants to achieve, after which the person can then implement the program unsupervised. “Programs can be configured to work on specified medical issues that have been identified by their medical practitioner.” Ms Lucas added. The technology offers a lot of health benefits and has been found to be successful in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain, osteoporosis, stress incontinence, poor balance, muscular weakness and reduction of pain and muscles spasms and Ms Lucas cannot, applying stimulation to 100 is looking forward to seeing the benefits percent of the muscles as opposed to of Whole Body Vibration technology the 80 percent achieved through normal throughout the Cooma-Monaro region. routines.

John Watkins, CEO of health by leading a ‘brain healthy’ lifestyle Alzheimer’s Australia NSW, said during Dementia Awareness Week, research suggests that eating well and being physically active, maintaining an active social life and keeping mentally stimulated are some of the best things you can do to try to reduce your risk of developing dementia. “Looking after your heart, keeping a healthy blood pressure level and getting regular health

checks are all great ways to monitor your brain heart health,” Mr Watkins said. “Already there are an estimated 95,000 people living with dementia in NSW. As our population ages that number is set to skyrocket 50 percent by 2020. The time to act is now.” In the Monaro state electorates there are an estimated 771 people living with dementia. That is expected to soar to 3214 people by 2050. While there is, as yet, no cure, scientific research shows it may be possible to

Adaminaby CWA’s busy winter Adaminaby CWA Branch is far from hibernating in winter - they are active in planning activities for the warmer months. The members have decided that they will start a campaign to get the Bobeyan Road fixed properly. This much maligned and maltreated stretch of road and its off-shoots is vital to the people of Adaminaby. Did you know that it is 80km shorter to Canberra that way? It covers two States and Territories (NSW and ACT) and two Councils (Snowy River and Cooma-Monaro. There has been funding from various sources over the years to work on the road which has been used for other purposes. The bridge over the Murrumbidgee is now restricted to 11 tonnes which means that Miners Stock Transport has a two hour trip to pick up or deliver to Bolaro on both sides of it–a distance of about 1.5km. Improving the road would open up Adaminaby and surrounds to more permanent residents who could commute to Canberra for work and live more cheaply here. Of course more residents in Adaminaby

would have spin-offs for Cooma and its shops, schools, sporting teams etc. The Adaminaby CWA will be involving the Canberra Branches to assist from their end to have 1km a year tarred and properly finished at either end. The Branch has also decided to sponsor the Young Entrepreneurs at next year’s Easter Fair. This is for young people aged 17 and under who wish to have a stall selling their goods at Easter. The idea was inspired by Gene Bennetts who marketed bags of sheep manure at the last Easter Fair. It is being done to assist young people who have a business idea to test the waters at the Fair. There are some rules for the participants – they must be junior members of the CWA, supply their own tables etc., are limited to a 3m square site in the area between the CWA and the School of Arts, register their interest at least one month before the Fair and comply with whatever regulations cover their stall. For more information you can call Judy on 6454 1624 at night. Snowy Café in Adaminaby has the CWA Recipe Books for sale,

on behalf of the Branch, including the new Jam Drops and Marble Cakes which has the recipes from the Land Cookery competitions. Of course there is planning for our popular Quilt Show and Garden Competition going ahead as well. The Quilt Show is at the end of September on the Labour Day Weekend and is a showcase of the talents of quilters of all levels. Increasingly popular is the general class for other items. For more information or a brochure ring Lyn on 6454 1530 or 0413 097 244 or go to our website www. quiltshow.com.au The Garden Competition is a lot of fun. It does not cost anything to enter and brochures and entry forms will be available at the end of September. It is judged in the first week of December to allow our gardens to get over winter or a harsh spring. We also have podiatrist, Alison Mitchell, coming to our rooms on the first Thursday of each month to provide services to members of the community who need them. Alison can be contacted directly on

The Cooma Challenge Aged and Respite Care Service is a non-profit organisation that offers people another option when it comes to aged care, as well as offering much needed support to people and families who are caring for an aged family member at home. The Service relies on funding so it can continue its vital work throughout the Cooma-Monaro region. “Aged care needs are growing’” the Service’s co-ordinator, Ruth Dakin, said “so it’s great that we are now receiving the funds we

need to provide that care for people in and around the region.” Cooma Craft Group President, Margaret Williams and Treasurer Jenny Brown along with members of the Craft group recognised the advantage to the Cooma Challenge Aged and Respite Care Service of a portable music system and, following the purchase, presented the new stereo which was very gratefully received by Ms Dakin at the Old Hall at Cooma Public School last Tuesday afternoon.

The stakeholders included Catholic Care-Youth Connections worker Karen Lonergan, Snowy Hydro, Roses Restaurant, Workways, Mainstreet, Centrelink, Mack’s Auto, Capital Region BEC Partnership Broker Debbie Thomas as well as the students from Bombala High School. These stakeholders not only contributed resources and time throughout the day but had been involved every step of the way through the planning stages. The aim of the day was to take the students out of their comfort zone with an emphasis on teamwork, communication, confidence, opportunity awareness and resilience building. The day started at Nanny Goat Hill where the students were given survival packs divided into teams and appointed a team leader to help them throughout the day. The first clue read… Water is my best friend, I house big red engines, I am noisy when the heat is on. By deciphering this cryptic clue they charged to the fire station. There they were met with a road block, after completing a task the next clue ‘I have views of many continents. I sit between the Elderly and someone who likes to play in an office, Fresh food people are sitting at my rear, My name smells on Valentine’s Day. This clue lead them to Roses Restaurant, Tony Nassar and his friendly staff showed the students how to set a table, the nine students then had a challenge

to prepare their own food and set a table for four. Again the teams were given clues that they had to decipher and make their way to the next challenge. One group went to Mack’s Auto where Richard Mack had them assemble a small crane system. This was a challenge in itself but some of the boys found this task relevant to the work they do at home or on the family property. Another group deciphered their clue, ‘Our name is the same as the street we are on. We can make you look good. Our favourite colours are red/white/ black. We look at the flag poles from our window. This challenge took place at Mainstreet where they had a task to dress a mannequin in clothing appropriate for a job interview. At Workways, manager Amanda Steinke set them tasks to undertake job search activities, and at Centrelink they got hands on view of job seeker requirements. They had different challenges and clues throughout the day to eventually end up at the Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre where Damian and staff treated the students to a great lunch and Tracy Crowe gave them some insight into employment opportunities with Snowy Hydro. Karen then awarded the students various prizes for their challenges as well as certificates of completing the race. A perpetual trophy was awarded to the Blue team who named themselves ‘Slippery Gypsies’. Coordinator of the day Karen Lonergan said, ‘The Youth Connections Amazing Race was a pilot program, but due to its success we feel we have the scope to offer it to different schools and has the potential for it to evolve further. We were fortunate to have the support of local businesses, local service providers as well as Bombala high school’.

When it comes down to Property Investment it is all about the numbers, but the financial structure is crucial to get right. Why? The correct structure will protect your family home from risk. It will allow you to duplicate sooner and use the banks money not your own to build you wealth. So how does an actual structure look, below I have provided an example of buying a new property in a location that is forecasted to have $60,000 growth for the next 6 years. Property Value $450,000 Rent Return $600p/w Loan Value Ratio (LVR) 95/5 This means 5% deposit from the equity in your home and a new loan 95% for the investment property, importantly with the investment property being security for the loan, to protect your home. Deposit plus costs (stamp duty on land only, solicitor, bank fees and interest during construction approx. $32,500. The investor would transfer this equity from their house to the investment property, to now have two growth assets. Some people are scared to use their equity to build their wealth, but it is how the rich get richer and by not using it, it is like burying a bag of cash in your back yard. The loan for the investment property at 95% plus Lenders Mortgage Insurance is approx. $433,500 interest only. At 6% interest rate that equates to $26,010.00 per annum, so what other costs are involved. Property Management, Insurance and water/rates approx. $100 per week total costs to hold the property approx. $31, 210.00. Now rent is $600 per week x 52 weeks equals $31,200. So before Tax the property is basically costing nothing to have, not bad when it is forecast to return $60,000 per annum. Now when we take tax into account and you complete a Tax Withholding Variation Form with your accountant or just on the ATO website and lodge it with your employer, you receive the tax benefits in your weekly pay rather than the end of the year. Due to the property having such good rental return, the tax benefit is really only the depreciation of approx. $5500 per year if you divide that by 52 weeks and youʼre basically now got an additional $100 per week to your take home budget per week. Or to put onto your family home loan. So this really is a no brainer you increase your income whilst owning an exponential growth asset. To discover what your personal financial structure would look like please do not hesitate to contact me on 0430 096 823. Have a great day!

Riposte by Lisa Ahurst

The last of the brood moved out last week. Feels a bit strange after 22 years of having the kids around the house but he is the last of them to move on and suddenly I only have myself to look out for. It’s been coming for a while now and he’s been on the hunt for new digs as he is well and truly ready for some independence and that is a good thing. He needs the experience. His sister managed it when she started uni and if he ends up at the same institution he’ll have to make that move to the ACT like she did so I’m looking on this current move as a lead-up to that next one and hey, practice makes perfect! All the same, I didn’t make a big song and dance about announcing that he was moving out but those who knew inevitably proclaimed “Gosh! You won’t know what to do with yourself!” Huh? They are kidding me, right? I have been planning what I would do when the kids all moved on for a little while now and can even remember dancing fleetingly with the fantasy when the three of them would have me run ragged, but suddenly here it is and while I admit it will feel a bit strange at first. It’s going to become a real novelty that I just may not get over in a hurry. I will be able to hog the bathroom, the TV remote, the computer, the

contents of the fridge and cupboards and on my days off I won’t have to wake up at 6.30am because there will no longer be a kid that needs to get up and catch the bus! Yes, yes, yes, he did have an alarm but he also had a tendency to ignore it and of course, me being The Mother.... Anyway, this last advantage is looking really attractive and will mean I can lie in bed until 7.30am at least, even as late as 8am if I want to really indulge myself. Also, I will never have to put up with another repeat of a repeat of a repeat of The Simpson’s or have to deal with bike and skateboard parts littering the coffee table! Not that this means he was messy, or a sloth around the house or anything. Twin II is actually extremely neat and quite useful because he’s pretty handy with fixing things and is happy to do so, is great for scoffing up any leftovers, is nice to chooks and cats, willingly mows lawns and trims edges and generally pulls his weight around the place. Yes, I’m going to miss all that but I will never miss those Simpson’s episodes so it will level out even in the end if you think about it. I will probably be really fit as well. But to get back to it, we moved the last of his stuff (well, the stuff he wanted to take with him anyway) last week and he’s happy and well and all is rosy. Now I just have to stop worrying my socks off….!

Spring is the perfect time for stock owners to tap into some of the state’s 600,000 hectares of travelling stock reserves (TSRs) managed by the Livestock Health and Pest Authorities (LHPAs). The TSR network was established to facilitate stock movements around the state. It is also a key grazing resource for stock owners through droughts but can also be utilised to assist with management of pastures. Spelling paddocks can be very beneficial when spring growth is slow due to a drier than normal end to winter. The grazing of stock on TSRs also assists LHPA with managing potential fire risks presented by the previous good seasons. LHPAs have short term grazing permits available for a variety of fenced and unfenced TSRs within their district. Stock owners are encouraged to contact their local LHPA to discuss the

forward to seeing their project in place. “We are proud to support organisations that make communities like Colinton safer,” said Ms. Lupton. This year across New South Wales, 60 groups received Community Grants, with NRMA Insurance investing around $396,000 into local initiatives. Since the program’s inception in 2003, there have been approximately 1,300 recipients nationally totalling more than $5.3 million. The Community Grants program supports local organisations working to make our communities safer. Community organisations can apply to receive funding for projects working in the areas of road safety, crime prevention, emergency readiness and response or environmental initiatives. More information about the Community Grants program is available by calling into the Cooma Service Centre NRMA Insurance office or by visiting www.nrma.com. au/grants

options available. Those stock owners with longer term annual permits, known as Annual Grazing Permits (AGPs), are reminded of their responsibility to control weeds on the TSR under their permit conditions. Now is the time to ensure that sufficient preparation has been made to keep noxious weeds at bay. Short term permit holders are not responsible for weed control. LHPAs wish to remind people that dumping rubbish, riding motorbikes and shooting or hunting on TSRs is illegal and those found participating in these activities will be fined. The majority of these activities occur on weekends and witnesses of these activities are encouraged to take down details and report them to their local LHPA office. To apply for a short term grazing permit or for more information about TSRs, please contact your local LHPA.

to address issues such as weed control, drought proofing our properties and general soil health, soil erosion, pasture management and water management” she said. The motivation to take on the landcare role is based on her aspirations to manage the farm, including the native and introduced pasture species, to achieve the greatest productivity for sheep and cattle production but also to address the problems of the land so she can leave their property in a better shape. “Landcare helps me in two ways”, said Heidi. “Firstly, it provides funding for projects on our land that creates a win for our farming venture as well as the environment. Secondly it brings together a diverse bunch of locals, including farmers, town people and those living on small blocks, which let us tackle all of these problems together as a community”, she said. If you want more information about the Berridale Rocky Plain Landcare group you can contact the Secretary Harry Bentley or online at www. uppersnowylandcare.org.au Pictured, Harry Bentley, Heidi Reid and Phil Daley.

The importance of Landcare groups in bringing people and ideas together and the opportunity to work as a community is the inspiration for Heidi Reid, the newly elected Chair of the Berridale Rocky Plain Landcare Group. Her election occurred at the recent barbecue and planning meeting held by the Landcare group to plan their agenda for the next few years following the successful completion of a number of projects and field days. With the good attendance of members from the Landcare group came a great diversity of ideas about the future role of the Landcare group. Land management issues raised by the group members ranged from grazing management, feral animal management, erosion and maintaining biodiversity, including the issue of the eucalypt dieback in the Berridale area. , Heidi, who has recently returned to work on “Yarrabin”, the sheep and cattle property of her parents Phillip and Robyn Reid, sees her future on the Monaro as “an obvious fit” with the work of the Landcare group. “The success of agriculture depends on our ability to work as a community

NRMA Insurance has announced Colinton Rural Fire Brigade as the recipient of a 2012 Community Grant, providing the local organisation with funding to the value of $4,950 for an emergency readiness and response initiative. The Colinton Rural Fire Brigade is a small but active rural brigade whose area is bisected by the Monaro Highway, scene of frequent motor accidents, often in winter and at night. The grant will enable them to purchase a portable light tower which will radically improve the efficiency of responding officers as well as adding to their safety and the safety of those they are helping. Megan Lupton, NRMA Insurance Community and Sustainability Manager, said the Community Grants program has been helping community groups build safer communities for the last 10 years. “This year we had a fantastic response from community groups who have put a lot of thought into how to help their local communities. Colinton Rural Fire Brigade is one of this year’s recipients and we look

form and is typically sold as Taskforce, Kennock, Scuffle or GP Fluproponate. Because Fluproponate takes several months to kill the plant, if used alone it will not prevent Serrated Tussock from seeding when used this late in the season. Glyphosate is sold under a large range of trade names, though is most commonly and historically known as Roundup. Glyphosate provides a quick kill when plants are actively growing, though will provide varied results if plants are stressed or not actively growing. African Lovegrass during early spring is typically in winter dormancy and will not be effectively controlled using Glyphosate alone. From late spring through to autumn Glyphosate alone can generally provide effective control, or if the plants appear stressed a Glyphosate/Fluproponate mix is likely to provide the best results. Some Glyphosate products have been developed for use in aquatic situations. These products are specifically formulated with built-in ‘aquatically approved’ surfactants and should be used where infestations are situated in aquatic or other sensitive environmental areas. Prior to using any chemical always read and understand the label and ensure that you have obtained the appropriate experience, skills and accreditation. For more information, contact your local Council weeds officer or agronomist.

Grassy, perennial weeds like Serrated Tussock and African Lovegrass are the scourge of the Monaro. They rapidly invade native and introduced pastures and significantly impact on the environment and agricultural productivity. Furthermore, dense infestations of African Lovegrass pose a significant fire risk and if not managed effectively can endanger life and property as a result of grass fire. Serrated Tussock and African Lovegrass will produce viable seeds by November/December each year, with Serrated Tussock typically seeding from as early as late October in some areas. Both are declared noxious weeds and must be effectively controlled prior to seeding*. Help yourself and your neighbour and avoid costly legal action by ensuring that these weeds are controlled NOW. * Note: Legislative provisions have allowed for the relaxation of control requirements for African Lovegrass within the Cooma-Canberra corridor. A couple of handy tips: If controlling Serrated Tussock and African Lovegrass by chemical application first consider timing, whether the plant is actively growing and whether chemical application is likely to impact on any off-target organisms. Two chemical options are commonly used for controlling Serrated Tussock and African Lovegrass, each with very different properties. Fluproponate is available either in granular or liquid

Fillies undefeated premiers for 2012

The Cooma Fillies have successfully taken out the 2012 Group 16 Leaguetag Premiership, beating the Bega Chicks 4-0 in their lowest scoring game of the season, and maintaining their undefeated record for the season. In warm conditions, the Fillies fitness was always going to be tested against strong competitors in Bega. Bega had done a great job to make it to the grand final in their first season in the leaguetag, but buoyed by former Narooma player, Trudi Badullovich, they were eager to give the Fillies a run for their money in the final game of the season. The game started in feisty conditions with both teams determined to make their mark on the game early. Strong defensive efforts from Karlee Pateman and Kirrily Carberry coupled with the dominant attacking efforts of Meg Bracher, Abby Schofield and Kate Schofield gained good field position. Back to back sets on the Bega line gave the Fillies

opportunities to find space out wide, with Maree Ingram setting Kate Schofield up for the opening, and only, try of the game. What followed really was a game of defensive efforts. Line breaks from Alana Nichols and Monique Ingram continued the Fillies’ ascendancy while Alicia Clarke and Maree Ingram’s dominant kicking game continued to keep the ball moving. Patrice Ingram was instrumental in keeping the Chicks at bay, supported by Zoe Lynch and Georgie Clarke in their back-to-back tagging efforts. Anna Steel and Tracy Frazer nullified Bega’s short kicking game with their second line of defence, while Kristy Nichols and Sammy-Jo Suitor maintained their defensive efforts under pressure while Sandy Schofield and Penny Carroll supported well and kept spirits high. After the final 50 minutes of the season, the score remained 4-0 in favour of the Fillies, and the girls from the mountains

deservedly reigned victorious. Captain Alicia Clarke was gracious in her acceptance speech, and Player of the Match, Maree Ingram, gaining deserved recognition for her efforts. The Fillies would like to thank their coach, Craig Schofield, without whom the team would

never have been formed and been so successful. They would similarly like to thank their sponsors, Mainstreet Clothing, Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy and Brian Geach Electrical for their ongoing support, and finally, their supporters, particularly those who travelled to watch the game

on Sunday. The Cooma Stallions presentation night is on this Friday October 21 at 6.30pm at the Cooma Ex-Services Club, with tickets available from Boller & Co. Congratulations Girls! The Fillies winning smiles on Sunday.

game of football. Each one of them should be proud of their efforts not only on grand final day but also throughout the season and especially the semi finals. Try scorers were Zac Saddler, Jake Hedger and Charlie Allen and Zac kicked three from three. Well done team. Thank you to all the parents and supporters on the day – I am sure the boys could hear you all cheering. Thank you to the Aussie Hotel who put on a luncheon for the boys on their return to Cooma. After the lunch the boys all watched their grand final on the big screen.

Bunyan Airfield ‘Wave Camp’ a Nationally recognised Event The Canberra Gliding Club’s annual ‘Wave Camp’ event will be held at Bunyan Airfield again this year from September 22 – 30. The event is run over the entire week and attracts pilots from all over the country including QLD, NSW, VIC, SA and ACT. Club Captain Stuart Ferguson said they have close to 40 pilots registered for this

year’s event which also coincides with the Clubs 50th Anniversary celebrations. This type of event is quite unique in Australia. ‘There are only two other Wave Camps held in Australia but these are small club events’ says Mr Ferguson. The reason CoomaMonaro is ideal for this event is because of what is known as

the ‘Snowy Mountains Wave Soaring Area’. In layman’s terms this is absolute ideal high altitude conditions for gliding. The Australian altitude record of 33,000 ft was set at Bunyan airfield by Rick Agnew. Cooma Tourism Manager Donna Smith said ‘Conservatively this event is worth around

The most memorable result of my Little Athletics participation to date was winning the under-9s Gold this year in both shot-put and discus at State Athletics. My 2 Gold Medals helped Cooma Athletics win the ACT Little Athletics Small Centre Trophy of the Year (2011-12). The highlight of my Little Athletics participation to date was winning 8 medals in the Dubbo New Year’s carnival in 2011 across all events – running, jumping and throwing. I started competing in Cooma Little Athletics in 2008 when I was 5 years old. I enjoyed trying all the events when I started - track events, hurdles, long jump, high jump, discus & javelin (Turbo Jav). As I got older, I enjoyed focussing on my favourite events – shot-put, discus and 60m hurdles. What do/did you enjoy about Little Athletics? Competing and getting sausage sandwiches afterwards! What advice would you give to Little Athletes?
