New police boat for Lake Eucumbene Local police have taken delivery of a new boat to operate on Lake Eucumbene. The new Stabicraft Ocean Pro boat replaces a 37-year-old vessel which will now be found a new home via government tender. The new boat is slightly longer and more stable than the old boat. It is easier to load and can more easily assist divers, due to its modern design. It has state-of-the-art instruments which will make searches more efficient. With a top speed of 40mph (35kts) the new boat will allow police a quick response to emergencies. The trailer carrying the boat has

been designed to allow it to be launched almost anywhere, not necessarily requiring a boat ramp. Adaminaby police often use their boat to access camping areas around lake Eucumbene, as it is quicker than driving overland. With a shoreline of about 400kms, Lake Eucumbene poses significant challenges for search and rescue operations. Pictured right, Sen Cons Jan Colban, Cooma, Sen Con Matt Jacobs, Adaminaby, Sgt Justin Harrison, NSW Maritime Area squad and Inspector Peter Rooney with the new boat.

The Jindabyne Ukulele Collective played toe tapping numbers at fund raising concert held at the Jindabyne Bowling Club on Saturday September 22, when over $7,000 was raised for the Bruce Wilson family, through the silent and live auction of donated goods and services. The Wilson family, Bruce and Gill with Emily (7) and Oscar (4) had just settled into their tent at the Kiama camping ground on Saturday September 1. At 10.30 pm a car crashed through a barrier and through their tent and landed on them. Bruce was admitted to Wollongong Hospital with a fractured pelvis. Oscar’s leg was bruised and Emily with a small foot fracture, was transferred to Sydney Children’s Hospital due to a contusion to her lung. The injuries caused included Gill who was airlifted to St George Hospital with several fractures.

Lynch re-elected Cooma-Monaro Mayor Dean Lynch has been re-elected mayor of Cooma-Monaro shire Council. Cr Lynch was elected unopposed at Monday’s special meeting of council. Cr Bronnie Taylor was re-elected as deputy mayor. She defeated Cr Martin Hughes for the position 7 votes to 2. The ballot was held twice, as Cr Mondello misunderstood the returning officer’s directions. Both sets of ballot papers were destroyed after the vote.

Mayor Lynch thanked council for re-electing him. He congratulated Cr Taylor and told council that, as he was the public face of council, if other councillors were not happy with his performance, they should “let me know”. Cr Taylor said she was looking forward to another very productive 12 months. In Snowy River Shire, Cr Peter Beer was re-elected deputy mayor. He joins popularly elected mayor John Cahill at the head of council. Bombala Shire is still to hold its special meeting to elect the mayor and deputy mayor. This will be on October 3.

Official opening of Medicare/Centrelink “One-Stop-Shop” FUNDING EMERGENCY SERVICES The fire and emergency services of NSW are currently under investigation by the State Government, which has released a community-based discussion paper on a variety of funding options for emergency services. The current distribution of cost-funding of one billion dollars for the emergency services comes from three sources – the majority of funds (73.7 per cent) from insurance companies, with the remainder of the funds provided by Local Government (11.7 per cent) and the State Government (14.6 per cent). Recent reviews of the State tax system, including the Henry Tax Review and the NSW Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal’s Review, have recommended the consideration of a property-based levy as a preferred tax system because it is considered the current system has serious weaknesses and is economically inefficient. They suggest that spreading the tax burden away from insurers, who are risk managers, to property owners, who are key beneficiaries, is more equitable and transparent. The question is: What is an equitable distribution of a property-based levy? Other States have recognised this problem, as taxing insurers increases the cost of insurance due to the “pass-on” effect which can lead some members of the community to under-insure and others to not bother taking out any insurance. To this end, the State Government is seeking any views or comments in choosing between different schemes outlined in the on-line discussion paper and the associated trade-offs between complexity and financial efficiency impacts on households, councils and businesses. Comments are sought by 8 October 2012 to the government’s portal www.havyoursay.nsw.gov.au/ESL. Council is very interested in this matter of revenue sourcing and cost distribution and urges comments from the community to assist the State Government and this council in debating the most practical, feasible and desirable revenue-sourcing associated with emergency services funding in our community interest.

Cutting the cake!

Minister for Human Services, Senator Kim Carr, and Member for Eden-Monaro, Dr Mike Kelly, were in Cooma on Monday to officially open the new Department of Human Services onestop-shop in Massie Street which now houses Centrelink and Medicare services all under the one roof. “This is all about expanding the services for the people of EdenMonaro” Senator Carr said “and as promised, there were no job losses.” Senator Carr was also pleased to note that most of the local doctors have come on board, providing visiting services as well. “The thing is, is has been recognised that there are special needs in this region that need special attention.” Senator Carr added” It’s a very busy office here, with over 200 people coming in on a daily basis.” Senator Carr said

Cooma residents now have access to a wider range of services since the merge placed Centrelink and Medicare in the one location, which now features updated facilities and longer opening hours. Dr Kelly is also very pleased with the progress since combining the two services in the one location and he praised the staff for their continuing support of the local community. “The staff here at the Cooma centre offer excellent service’ Dr Kelly said “both here in the office as well as out there in the community. This new centre is already having a major impact, providing easily accessible support for many people in the Cooma region.” The new Cooma Service Centre is located at 65 Massie Street and is open from 8.30am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday.

Dr Kelly addressed the staff and guests.

Senator Carr praised the staff for their commitment.

Emergency Services report Ambulance officers attended a fire in a block of flats in Kirwan Close in Jindabyne to treat one of the residents for smoke inhalation. The resident was taken from the scene to

Cooma Hospital where they were kept for observation. The Cooma Fire Brigade attended when the auto fire alarm went off at the Cooma Police Station, however there was no incident.

The Brigade also responded to reports of smoke in the vicinity of the Zalka Heights area but again, there was no incident of fire. The Brigade came to the assistance of the Rural Fire Brigade

recently to help with the containment of a grass fire at Shannon’s Flat. There was also a grass fire in Michelago which was brought under control. The Ando Fire Brigade attended the

scene of a burning car on the Snowy River Way. The fire was brought under control and extinguished.

postman calls

What’s that the Postman heard? Australian has spent $40million trying to win a seat on the UN security council? Forty million taxpayer’s dollars to massage a politician’s ego. That’s just obscene! Australia doesn’t have a snowball’s hope in hell of winning a seat on that council, so why are we wasting money that could be used to help Australians? How long until the next Federal election? While on the subject of wasting government money – why is the NSE Government intending to spend up to $30million in compensation to the companies that didn’t get the contract to build a rail line to service Sydney. Why do they need to be compensated? That’s the whole idea of tendering for a job – you do your homework before committing to a tender. If you, as a business, can’t afford to do something, then don’t do it. Don’t whack a tender in, miss out and then expect taxpayers to cover your costs. The Postman has to wonder why Sydney needs more rail services when regional areas are crying out for help in health, energy, roads, etc, etc. Looks like the Newcastle, Sydney Wollongong (NSW) Government has been reborn. And here was The Postman thinking things had changed… Here’s another thought - now the energy bills have arrived, reflecting the carbon tax, how much did your bill increase by? The Postman’s bill has increased by 22 percent, because of the “there will be no carbon tax under any government I lead” carbon tax. Where will it end? Put this in your diary – October 5, wine tasting, Alpine Hotel – all funds raised go to support the Cooma Crew in the Steven Walter Foundation Around Australia Ride.

Myack fire thank you Editor, It is with sincere gratitude I am writing this letter. September 5 saw our family home go up in flames. Whilst this was very unfortunate, I wish to express to everyone the positives that have arisen as a result of this event (although my siblings are finding the whole thing devastating and somewhat unsettling, along with being very saddened by their material loss). Myack was home to five generations, having been built by my grandfather in 1920. When grandfather passed on, it was left to our father, who then passed it on to my brother. This home has seen our children and grandchildren enjoy this home immensely, along with our extended family and all of our friends. With such diverse collection of people that have memories of Myack, all wanted their little bit of memorabilia. This, however, will no longer be possible – unfortunately their memories will have to be confined to the mind. The house being almost 100 years old means great financial input to its upkeep and general maintenance. Major expenses were due to be addressed in the near future; this has now been put on hold, My brother, having been very ill for some time (although his health has been improving realty every day) has made the decision to make major lifestyle changes, allowing him time to fully explore all the possibilities open to him. Our mother, having sever dementia, was requiring greater care every day; my siblings and I had issues with the possible solution to this dilemma. This is because the main responsibility of our mother’s care was up to my brother and I – I was my mother’s primary carer and lived with her at Myack. Both my brother and I had other work related responsibilities, which was causing us great concern. This concern has now been removed from our hearts and shoulders. Our mother has no alternative than to go into aged care. She is currently residing at Bombala, but is looking forward to coming back to Berridale very soon as a permanent resident. She is ‘fighting fit’ so look out! I am so grateful. Our mother was rescued and taken to safety and my brother was close by and able to witness the extreme effort to try and save the homestead. My overwhelming gratitude goes to all those who put their lives on the line and willingly allowed their properties to be place at risk while trying to save a

town’s icon. All fire-fighter’s were incredibly courageous on a most horrendous day to contain potentially devastating fire, keeping it in a confined area, with no other loss of property or lives. Your task was an enormous one and you all did a brilliant job, congratulations and thank you. I so hope those that were hurt and suffered sever smoke inhalation are now well no longer feel its effects. I apologise to all of you for not collecting together my team for disaster relief, I am Anglicare leader for the area and it was my job to put your concerns before my own, to provide you with food, water and first aid. This event although disappointing, for I all that know and have come to recognise and feel an affinity for Myack, will stand to be a very vivid reminder of the possible summer we are in for…take stock everyone, be prepared for a long, very hot hard summer. It is hoped that one day in the future Myack will be rebuilt, but we all need time, please be patient with us. I wish to thank the police for the crowd control and their compassion shown to those whose property was at risk. I thank you for your ongoing support by policing our property from would-be scavengers. Thank you to the people behind the scenes that assisted the personnel that required food, water and fist aid and the ongoing tasks that had to be followed through – these took some days to bring to a conclusion. Thank you to the clean-up teams and the neighbourhood watchers. And now a thank you to all who assisted me personally: I cannot express how grateful I am for all the gifts received; everyone’s generosity is very much appreciated. Our mother is now very well cared for with lots of new and much loved, beautiful clothing, toiletries and beauty products. I too have received much whilst I always have a place to put my head, usually with my children, but at this point in time I have chosen to live out of the boot of my car until such time as I find a place to make my home. Myack may have the book closed for now, but it will be opened on family get-togethers and special events, reliving memories and rebuilding its history. I truly appreciate everyone’s prayers, love and support. God has blessed me greatly and it is in everything I give thanks. Esma Burling

Peruvian refuge a challenge!

Young Cooma couple, Georgie Hatfield and Dominic Bogatek, spent two years from 2010 to 2012 travelling throughout Central and South America. They took some time out of their travels to spend six months in a small indigenous village in the Andes, where they did their best to better the lives of around 30 children, aged from 12 months to 12 years amid glaring poverty, a harsh climate and teeming social injustice. Pomacanchi is situated 3.5 hours from Cusco and Machu Picchu and almost 4 kilometres above sea level. The village is incredibly poor, very cold and has some of the harshest living standards the couple

had ever encountered. Poverty took its toll on the entire community but especially on the children, hence the establishment of a “safe house” where issues such as hygiene, nutrition and education could be addressed in a safer haven than that which existed in their homes. Thanks to some of the worst influences of western society, the children of Pomacanchi are routinely subjected to physical and sexual abuse, an absence of any parental affection, malnutrition, substandard living conditions and are generally severely neglected. Ms Hatfield and Mr Bogatek had been briefed regarding the conditions within the

run and apparently most Peruvians tend to see charity money as a great opportunity to feather their own nests, which is what has been happening in the case of the Pomacanchi children’s refuge. On many occasions, Ms Hatfield and Mr Bogatek, along with their colleagues would go out of their way to deal directly within the community when it came to purchasing food and supplies and raising sufficient funds (via supportive friends and relatives) to allow them to obtain what was needed themselves. They managed to do this for a while and the children really benefited from their efforts. Efforts were also made to involve the mothers in learning how to address the issues of hygiene, nutrition and education but it was an ongoing battle in many cases as children are often a result of sexual abuse and are unwanted. Ms Hatfield said their biggest hurdle however was trying to stem the level of corruption. Money is a seductive mistress for officials in such countries where poverty predominates and foreign workers who expose it can often find themselves in danger when corrupt officials feel their “business” dealings are under threat. The situation was becoming difficult in Pomacanchi and the couple had no option but to leave. But while travelling, Ms Hatfield and Mr Bogatek immersed themselves in the culture and customs of South and Central America and did experience “culture shock” upon returning to Australia. “In a way, I suppose we never fully adjust” Ms Hatfield said recently. “If we were to explain the changes we feel inside ourselves, I guess we could say we appreciate the little things more.” On August 29, Georgie Hatfield and Dominic Bogatek addressed Rotary about their travels and experiences, sharing something of their challenging trek with members of the local community and hoping to convey a more vivid sense of what exists outside the comfort of our own Georgina Hatfield and Dominic Bogatek with Les Sutcliff at Cooma Rotary Club environment. on August 29. community, but the reality still a shock. “It was one of the most difficult things I have ever done in my life!” Ms Hatfield recalled “But it was also one of the most uplifting.” The children of Pomacanchi know no English. They speak predominantly the Inca language, Quechuan, with a limited smattering of Spanish, so communication in general was a struggle, Ms Hatfield said, but the struggle with words did not hinder the understanding of what the children really needed. The couple worked tirelessly to bring some solace to the children in the refuge but one of the biggest hurdles to improving their lot was the high level of corruption that exists within the organisation which, unfortunately, is Peruvian-

New Real Time Ultrasound enables expansion of physiotherapy services Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy in Cooma has recently purchased a real-time ultrasound machine to help expand treatment options for Women’s health and low back pain. Real-time ultrasound provides a clear image of pelvic floor muscles, hip and back muscles allowing you to see how you are currently working the muscles. This allows the trained physiotherapist to provide simple, instructive and easy to view exercises to make the muscles work more effectively. “Unknowingly, 50% of women are doing pelvic floor exercises incorrectly” reports Kristy Nichols, a Women’s Health Physiotherapist from Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy Cooma. “The new ultrasound machine will greatly assist my Women’s Health clients. It allows noninvasive views of the pelvic floor to check and monitor how effective people are doing their pelvic floor exercises”. Research has found that Real-time ultrasound is also beneficial in the treatment of lower back pain, even chronic pain. Kristy reports “Poor control and weakness of the deeper muscles of the spine, the core muscles, are often associated with back pain. Real-time ultrasound

helps to give feedback on correct activation and recruitment of these deeper stabilising muscles.” Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy’s Cooma clinic is located within the Bombala Street Medical Centre at 62 Bombala Street. It has extended opening hours from Mondays to Fridays. Appointments can be arranged by phoning 6452 4203. No referral is necessary. Clients are able to access EFTPOS at the clinic and claim appropriate on-the-spot rebates for their physiotherapy from private health funds. Kristy will be holding a FREE talk “Core Control and Pelvic Stability” and demonstration of the Real-time Ultrasound Machine at Anytime Fitness, Commissioner Street Cooma on Friday September 28 at 12noon. Phone 6452 4203 to RSVP. Further information about the services offered by Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy wis available at www.sapphirecoastphysio.com or by phoning 6452 4203.

Frogwatch seminar to be held at Scottsdale, Bredbo With the coming of spring our local landscape is returning to life as our plants and animals emerged to enjoy the warmer weather. In the evening, we can now hear the joyful choruses of frogs far and wide, discovering watery breeding places. The frog calls we hear are generally the males, calling for females or noting their territory. Their most active time is in the early evening/morning, on a dark moon. It is at this time of year we can best identify these shy and cryptic creatures, as each species has a call that is unique and a trained ear can tell how many of each are present. This is exactly what over 200 Frogwatch participants do each year at approximately 150 sites around the ACT and region in order to monitor frogs during National Water Week, (the third week of October each year). Frogwatch

covered, including how to use the Frogwatch kit. The seminar is essential for the first time Frogwatchers or as a refresher for those who have participated in previous years. The seminar will run between 6-8:30pm followed by a field trip for those who wish to further hone their identification skills. Numbers are limited and bookings can be made by contacting Anke Maria Hoefer on 02 62783309 or frogwatch@ginninderralandcare.org.au.

Harry Laing – Poet, Comic Performer and Creative Writing Teacher Throughout this year students from St Patrick’s have had numerous chances to take part in creative workshops with renowned writer and performer Harry Laing. Harry has focused on the freedom of creative writing and expression and has inspired our young writers from Kinder to Year 10. Last week our Year 9 and 10 drama class had the opportunity to work with Harry in a full day workshop focusing on comic monologue. Students were asked to write short monologues from single sentence prompts provided

by Harry and to then perform these. Having critiqued their own performances and those of their peers students then worked to refine these monologues and developed connected monologues in a trio. Harry brings a wealth of experience both in Australia and internationally as a poet and solo performer and engages students in the creative process with his enthusiasm and exuberance. We look forward to working closely with Harry in the future. Harry Laing in action.

Berridale Lions spring fair on this Saturday The Berridale Lions Spring Fair will be held this Saturday September 29, come rain or shine. The Fair will be held, as usual, in the Berridale Lions park, only this year will be bigger and better than ever, necessitating expansion of the Fair into part of Central Park, the next park along. This is not the type of Fair usually run by the Club. Following the Easter Fair a rethink of Fair format was carried out and the need to provide activities that could entertain patrons was seen as being very important to the continuation of the Berridale Lions Fairs. But to achieve this without over taxing the Club members was a real problem. The solution is to offer the running of the activities to community groups who would organise each activity and benefit from monies raised from an activity. This approach has meant that a significant number of activities will be run on the day The principle activities are: A fun dog show - this will occur between 10am and 11:30am and will have one dog parade for all types of dogs and two dog obedience demonstrations by Paws4Training. There will also be veterinary

advice from a qualified person, a dog portrait booth and a dog grooming booth Monies raised by this activity will be directed to the Monaro Early Intervention Service, so get your dogs prepared, primped and prettified, ready to enter into the show! All dogs (and their owners) are welcome. A children’s lolly scramble with “Happy Jo Lucky” Dog BMX bike riding demonstrations and a Jam on the Skate Park Mixed martial arts demonstrations adjacent to the Skate Park. Three fire fighting demonstrations by Berridale, Dalgety and Rocky Plain units of the Rural Fire Service with demonstrations to specifically show you how to attend to stove, barbeque and bottle gas fire situations. It is hoped that their ‘smoke house’ will also be there. The ‘smoke house ‘ is an inflatable building filled with non toxic artificial smoke and helps demonstrate how to exit a smoke filled house Ski Boot Throwing Competition and an Egg Throwing Competition. Monies raised from this activity will go to the Berridale

Primary School P&C a static display of ex-Snowy heavy equipment a static display of vintage and veteran motor vehicles Apart from activities, entertainment was also seen as being very important to the ambience of the Fairs. As a radical departure from professional entertainment, it was decided to provide a venue for buskers who could create the desired atmosphere and provide a further source of interest to visitors to the Fair. This has the added advantage of giving budding entertainers a public presence. So far we have musicians, story tellers and face painters willing to entertain Any musicians or performers who are interested in busking at the fair should contact either Colin Reid on 64563275 or send an e-mail expressing interest to berridalelions@hotmail.com. The third aspect of the Fairs is the presence of stalls. By improving communications between potential stallholders and the Club there is loads of interested from stallholders to the extent that the Club has received definite bookings from over 60 stallholders. This means that

there will be an enormous variety of goods and services available to satisfy the interest of visitors. Finally, there are the activities of the Lions. Fairs are run so that the Club can raise money to contribute back to the community in one way or another. The provision of portable oxygen machines for persons with breathing difficulties is a prime example of the type of help the Club can provide. The Club raises money by catering a barbeque and running a few raffles. The barbeque is the good quality simple fare everyone is used to. Good food at reasonable prices. The raffles this Fair will be a Money Tree, a Limited 100 Ticket Grocery Hamper and Sandpit Lotto. The latter is a new concept and should prove of interest as the prize is half of the takings on each play of the game. Berridale Lions has the activities planned, is finalising entertainment and has had a tremendous response from prospective stallholders. The only thing left is for YOU to attend the Fair! We’d love to see you there, so don’t miss out!

further show of images showing this year’s Year 12s in their primary school years which brought a lot of laughter. A DVD featuring final farewells from teachers also brought some laughs and kept the mood light. At the end of the Assembly, the students received their awards and gathered on the stage for the last time before joining their families and friends for some social catch-up after the formalities.

A rich smorgasbord of sports at St Schols With graduation ceremonies on the agenda in the next few weeks, August–September is not only a significant moment in the academic life of a school, but also in its sports calendar. Beyond the quality and range of teaching and learning on offer, one of the many reasons for sending a daughter to boarding school is to allow her to explore and enjoy a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities, such as Music and Sport. St Scholastica’s sporting program is big – and getting bigger! Students are currently registering for a wide range of sports for Term 4 and are being encouraged to try something new. Two of the newest and very popular sports on offer are AFL and Dragon Boating, for which the girls are handily placed for practice in

the nearby Bays. A recent Sunday saw seven teams of rowers headed to Rodd Point in Canada Bay for the first Dragon Boating Regatta of the season. The girls had a gruelling program, with some competing in five events. Schols was the only school in the junior division so, unsurprisingly, came away with gold, silver and bronze medals! The girls also competed in the open division races and showed how competitive they will become: a great effort by all students after training for only 3 weeks. And the newly fledged AFL team? Schols Power won their semi final against Maroubra and followed that up with a grand final victory over Baulkham Hills, played at Macquarie University. Well played, Schols!

For more information about the opportunities that boarding can offer your daughter, have a look at the video on the College’s website and contact the Boarding College on 02 9660 0342 to find out more.

homebuyer grant, cautions Australia’s largest independentlyoperated mortgage broker, Mortgage

Choice. In the budget handed down by the Newman Government on 11 September 2012, the message to Queensland first homebuyers is to buy new if they wish to benefit from government incentives. The state’s $7,000 First Home Owner Grant has been replaced from today/12 September by a $15,000 First Home Owner Construction Grant, which applies only to newly-built or off the plan property purchases valued up to $750,000. First homebuyers c o n s i d e r i n g purchasing an existing property will still qualify for the original $7,000 First Home Owner Grant but only if they finalise contracts by 11 October 2012. While those looking to buy existing properties may feel the pressure to make

a decision in order to get in before the grant evaporates, potential borrowers are encouraged not to jump in before they feel ready for the commitment of home ownership. Local Mortgage Choice franchise owner / mortgage broker Donna Robson said, “The revised grant is great news for buyers of newlybuilt homes or even vacant land, assuming any increase in activity in the state’s newhome sector doesn’t raise the price of properties and affect affordability.” “However, there is little help in sight for the majority of first time buyers who look to purchase existing properties, unless they are prepared to sign the contract of sale before the expiration date of the original $7,000 grant in mid October. “The incentive of the grant’s removal should not be the deciding factor when

choosing to jump into the market over the next few weeks. It is essential for first time buyers to do their homework and truly decide whether they are prepared for the commitment of home ownership. “We encourage first homebuyers who have done their sums and who are prepared to buy, to contact their local mortgage broker to arrange loan preapproval now so they are one step ahead in the loan process. This will allow them to hunt for a home with a clear picture of their borrowing limit in mind. “Without rushing their decision, first homebuyers who are ready for home ownership and looking to buy an existing home, should get in while the going is still good.” Visit Donna R o b s o n ’ s website at www.

As so many readers have many questions they would like answered, and many being the same or similar question. I thought it would be a good opportunity for YOU the reader to ask me whatever questions you have on property investment and I will provide you blatantly honest answers. If you have any questions please email me on peter@prosperitygroup.com.au, I will treat every question confidential and your name will not be attached to the question/answer. I will kick start this with three questions I got last week. Q1. What is the difference between Negative and Positive Geared and Positive Cashflow. A1. Gearing is related to tax benefits, your income, the property income and the costs to hold the property. This is different for every property and each investor as each property values and deduction and peopleʼs income and therefore marginal tax rate is different. But basically Negative Geared means when you take the property costs to hold are greater than the property income therefore provides you with the maximum tax benefits. Now a Positive Cash Flow property is still negatively geared but the rental return is so high that the rental income plus your tax benefits provides you the investor additional weekly income after costs and tax. This is the ideal way to build wealth, as you have no holding costs and you get tax benefits rather than giving it to Julia Gillard and her team at the ATO. Now Positive Geared is what you want when you are in retirement when you do not need any tax benefits. Positive geared is simply the weekly income of the property is greater than the costs to hold the property without taking tax into account, as there is minimal tax benefits when the property is returning an income before tax. Q2. What is SMSF? SMSF is an abbreviation for Self Managed Super Fund, where you take control of your Superannuation. This is the fastest growing Super Fund in the country, as people are taking their money out in droves from the volatile share market and buying property within their SMSF. This is one of our busiest divisions of our business. A SMSF can be for an individual, or a couple or up to 4 family members can combine their Super to set up a SMSF and buy property/shares/etc. Q3. What is the most important aspect of investing? YOU - To make money YOU need to 1) educate yourself 2) Have a Personal Plan, and 3) take action. I urge you to ask me whatever question you have at peter@prosperitygroup.com.au or call 0430 096 823. Have a great day!

A beautiful and versatile property with lovely street appeal and plenty of options to increase its value.

Bred Well Fed Well comes to the Monaro objective for your sheep enterprise; _ better management of ewe nutrition for reproductive performance and flock profitability; and _ skills in assessing ewe condition and developing simple energy budgets for the ewe flock. The Bred Well Fed Well workshops are funded by Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) and Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) through their Making More from Sheep initiative and supported by the Sheep Cooperative Research Centre (Sheep CRC) as a part of a national program to increase sheep industry productivity and profitability. The SRS® Monaro Ram Selling Group work together to promote the many benefits of SRS® Genetics and have built a solid reputation for delivering truly allpurpose Merinos while adhering to a strict code of ethics. They are Aloeburn, BellaLana, Blue Gate, Blyth, Boxleigh Park, Glenwood, Mumblebone, Parkdale, Richmond and Sherwood. The workshop is free of charge and lunch will be provided.

Monaro sheep producers will be given the opportunity to learn practical tools to optimise reproduction and profitability in their ewe flocks at a ‘Bred Well Fed Well’ (BWFW) workshop to be held at ‘Severn Park’ Cooma on September 28 from 9am to 2pm. This highly successful initiative, which has been rolled out nationally, will feature three of the leading experts on sheep genetics and nutrition in Australia, Dr Mark Ferguson, Dr Jason Trompf and Luke Stephen. Chairman of the SRS® Monaro Group, Trevor Ryan, said that they were excited to bring such a successful training initiative to the Monaro. “The goals of Bred Well Fed Well are closely aligned with those of our group in focusing on improved fertility, low maintenance and feed efficiency, all of which equate to more dollars in the pockets of commercial growers,” Mr Ryan said. “It is not often you get the opportunity to hear from some of the leading experts in Australia on genetics and nutrition so we wanted to give the opportunity to as many people as possible on the Monaro.” The Bred Well Fed Well Workshops focus on: _ improved understanding of how to use reliable breeding tools to improve enterprise profitability; _ how to develop a breeding

COOMA SALE DATES

It’s never too late to prepare your property for the bush fire season by clearing dried and dead vegetation and debris, removing leaves and twigs from gutters and ensuring lawns are short and well maintained. Whether your plan is to leave early or stay and defend a well prepared property is more likely to survive a bush fire. reparing your property will also help protect it against the burning embers that can travel ahead of a fire. Many homes are lost when burning twigs and leaves land on or around the property. A well prepared property will also offer more protection if a fire threatens and you cannot leave and have to take shelter.

Preparing yourself and your family for bush fires Bush fires can be terrifying. Being prepared isn’t just about cleaning around your home and having a Bush Fire Survival Plan. It is also about ensuring you are prepared physically and emotionally. Strong winds and intense heat will make you tired very quickly. The thick heavy smoke can be choking and will sting your eyes, so it will be difficult to breathe and see. The roar of the wind and flames can be extremely loud with hot embers often raining down around you causing spot

NSW Department of Primary Industries veterinary labs offer a number of tests that help farmers to control worms in sheep, cattle and other farmed animals. Worm Test is used to monitor worms and liver and stomach fluke in a mob of cattle, sheep, goats or alpaca. Worm egg and fluke egg counts are taken from dung samples submitted to the laboratory in a Worm Test collection kit. Within 24 hours of the samples arriving at the lab, egg count results are faxed or emailed to farmers. Worm Test is good value for money; It could help save you the expense of unnecessary drenching or using the wrong drench. It can help forestall a disaster due to heavy worm infection. Worm Test can be used as a simple and effective way to test drench effectiveness. Collect samples 10-14 days after using a particular drench – longer for long-acting drenches. Worm Test is a useful tool to monitor your worm control program. Many factors need to be considered in any worm control program.

Seek expert advice from you local practice vet or LHPA vet, relevant to your situation. Aim to reduce reliance on drenching as a means to control worms. Make better use of non-chemical control options, including nutrition, grazing management and breeding more resistant stock. Worm Test kits are available from LHPA, rural suppliers and NSW DPI. Each kit contains instructions and an information sheet, prepaid postage to the lab, a mailing container, a glove and 10 sampling containers. Private labs and consultants may also provide a similar service. Worms and fluke will cost your production system dearly if left un-checked. It is important to be proactive and know the worm and fluke status of your animals. Good worm management will result in lower mortality of younger stock, higher weight gain, improved fertility, better overall health and immunity and a better looking bottom line for your business. For more information, drop into your local vet or Livestock Health & Pest Authority and discuss how best to manage worms and fluke.

Riposte by Lisa Ahurst

Why do I do this to myself? I’m in Spring Clean mode, which is fine as far as the usual seasonal cleanup goes but why did I decide it was also a good idea to sort through my wardrobe and even worse, why did I go ahead and act on that impulse? You see, when one decides to go through one’s wardrobe one inevitably pulls everything out of it and, well, once one has done that, one has to actually start sorting and crikey, that’s a big job! It’s not so much that I have a lot of stuff in there when it’s all said and done. The problem is that’s it’s all sitting in a pile now and I have to go through it even though I’m having second thoughts about the whole exercise but I just can’t have a pile of clothes sitting in the middle of the floor! The other problem is making a decision about what to toss and what to keep. A typical Libran, decision-making is not my strong point so being confronted with having to choose which items will be going back into the wardrobe and which are to be consigned to elsewhere is a real problem for me. You know, it’s been a favourite shirt or jumper or skirt or dress or jeans or whatever…so can I really bring myself to turf it? See what I mean? I know for a fact there are items in that pile that

should no longer be there. They have had a long life and served me well but are showing some serious signs of age which inevitably means they have gottta go. But they have been favourites of mine, which is why they are still there. Faded out and possibly coming apart but hey, I really loved that colour or that style or just how it looked on me. But I’m not alone in this. I had a friend in the city years ago who wore a favourite dress until it literally fell off her and another whose fave jeans kind of disintegrated in the wash one day (which was a bit messy) and another who has stubbornly hung onto an outfit into which she is highly unlikely to fit ever again but she really loves it and wouldn’t dream of passing it on or chucking it out. No doubt there are other wardrobe tragics out there and the only reason we don’t know about them yet is because they haven’t let on. But I think it’s a condition that afflicts a lot of us, even those who aren’t aware of it, and sooner or later one of them will decide to do the wardrobe thingy and as soon as they start tossing clothes onto the floor/bed/whatever, that glitch that’s been lying dormant in the back of their psyche for who knows how long will come roaring to life and that will be that. Almost makes me feel a little bit better about my own lack of gumption in regards to getting tough with those clothes. Not such a wardrobe tragic after all! Except there’s that shirt. Bugger!

Grand final night at Cooma Basketball stadium

Four grand finals of the Cooma Basketball Association were held last week before an enthusiastic audience. Game one was the junior boys between Blue Marlins and Hornets, with the result going Blue Marlins way, 51-40.

Hornets played with just four players and turned in a very strong performance. Daniel Pevere and Kyle Hubert were strong in attack, Ben Trotter is one of the most improved players and worked well under the basket while Daniel Hopkin, having his first season, was everywhere in defence. Blue Marlins 51 (Tim Wall 26, Pierre Wall and Kealan Johnson 4, Jerod Blyton 6, Will Saddler, Ethan Hunt 2) def Hornets 40 (Daniel Pevere 29, Ben Trotter 7, Kyle Hubert 4).

Donna Walsh and Anneke Ferguson were also strong in defence.

The much improved Allsorts put up a good showing with Alison Theunissen having her best game of the season. Youngsters Natalie Corey, Penny Grayson, Kara Hynes and Amy Stephens worked hard and showed how they have improved during the season. Groundhogs 39 (Ailish Pope 25, Anneke Ferguson 5, Amanda Kitzgerald 9) def Allsorts 25 (Jenna Sopniewski 2, Allison Theunissen 4, Amy Stephens 4, Tracy Huggett 3, Penny Grayson 4, K Hynes 2, Natalie Cory 4, Nichola Walsh 2).

Squash Spring Competition Finals The finals were played on Thursday night at the squash courts. Some interesting matches were played with an equally interesting final result in A grade – resulting in a draw for the top spot! While Tara Pateman and Will Nicholls demolished their opponents John Sutton and Andrew Egan for their team Paul Dyball Builders, Andrew Freeburn did likewise against Gary Cornish for his team Monaro Discount Tyres. This left the final match between Corey Bedingfield and Simon White as the decider – Simon had

to win 4 points only to clinch the match. This was not to be and both teams finished with 70 points each and the resulting draw! Cooma Trophy and Gifts finished up second with Hydraulinks Cooma coming 3rd. The standout match here was between Luke Abraham and Craig Bottom – where a five-setter was played before Luke came out the winner after a hard-fought match. B grade had an exciting finish to the comp. as well. Irene Tozer and Annika De

Koning won for their team Cooma Trophy and Gifts, while Ian Corby and up and coming star Hayden Smith won for Truckstop. This left the no. ones to play to decide the winner for B grade. Aron Rogers played Ira Hendriks. Ira won the first but Aron returned the favour and won the second. Ira Came back and won the third, but Aron slowly returned to the good form he has shown through the comp. and took the next and deciding two games. This made Truckstop the B grade winner.

Third and fourth places went to Monaro Discount Tyres and Cooma Crane Hire respectively. Standout match here was between Karen Sutton and young Andrew Bartell. While Andrew has not had a good run this comp. he took on Karen Sutton who has been one of the top runners in here grade. They went to five games, with Karen winning the last – only six points separated them at the end of the match. Well done Andrew! Individual winners were:

Cooma ladies golf An 18 hole Stableford was contested last Wednesday. The winner was Lyn Last with 30 points on a count-back. Lyn had a very sound back nine where she scored on every hole. Her par on the 17th and many bogeys were particularly pleasing. Dulcie Thistleton, also 30 points, and Dorothy Bilbow, 27 points, each won a ball. Lyn also had NTP on the 17th. In the nine-hole competition the winner was Maureen Fletcher with 17 points. She started off well playing many fine fairway shots. A ball was won by Alice Duczynski with 14 points. Clare Nowland had NTP second shot on the 4th. The first round of the President’s Trophy was keenly contested last Saturday. Wednesday’s second round should prove exciting. Jenny Rainsford was the winner in the first round with 38 net on a count-back.

Her fine putting made the difference in this close event. Lorraine McGregor, also 38 net, won the first ball. Her fairway game was on song. Rulie Steinfort won the second ball, also on a count-back, with 39 net. Rulie won the putting competition with an accurate 15 putts. At our AGM Gaye Wilson was elected President/Captain, Marilynne Weston Secretary and Val Leitch Handicapper/Treasurer. We would like to thank Dorothy Bilbow for all the work she has done as President over the past years. Coming up: Wed, 26th – Rd 2 President’s trophy 9 hole stroke (you don’t need to have played in the first round); Sat, 29th – Phinn Trophy 18 hole stroke Rd 1; Sun, 30th – Phinn Trophy 18 hole stroke Rd 2.

Bushpigs celebrate season in style The Jindabyne Rugby Union Club held its annual season presentation night at the Lake Jindabyne Hotel over the weekend. It was a great night with over 80 family and friends coming along to congratulate and celebrate with the Bushpigs and Miss Piggies for the 2012 season. It was a remarkable season by the Bushpigs whom became the first team in the club’s history to ever host a home grand final and went on to win it convincingly 44 – 17 over the Crookwell Dogs. The Bushpigs also claimed the Minor Premiership after 13 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss during its 2012 campaign. Coach Matt Tripet

reflected on the season saying that every one of the 25 players the Bushpigs had this season put their hand to get the team over the line. A standout season by John Field was recognised whom took out Best Forward, Best and Fairest and combined Players Player with five eight Jake Roarty. On the other hand the Miss Piggies showed plenty improvement over the season bowing out in the semi finals to Royals. Miss Piggy’s coach Mick Swinney knows there is plenty of potential in the team and hopes that the core of players sticks by each other to see some success come their way over the years.

The Jindabyne Rugby Union Club (JRUC) would love to thank everyone for their support of the 2012 season. Next year marks the 30th year of the JRUC and there are a number of exciting things to look forward too. The annual JRUC AGM is set to be held in October with a date to be confirmed. For more information contact the club at bushpigsmedia@hotmail. com. Awards Winners: Most Improved: Adrian Butters; Coaches Award: Dave Akkersdyk; Best Forward: John Field; Best

Back: Matthew Caldwell Players Player: John Field and Jake Roarty; Best and Fairest: John Field; Club Person of the

Year: Daniel Josifovski. Miss Piggies photo and award winners will appear in next week’s The Monaro Post.

Hot Scores as Greens Improve Cooma

Golf

Garry

Atkinson The week of golf just gone has seen some steady scoring on both Saturday and Wednesday, the Phoenix social club begin to increase in players (old and new) and the greens growing quickly with some rain over the week. On Saturday

September the club saw a single stableford played with 36 players in contention for grade trophies. With the course drying out and extra run on the fairways A grade was taken out by Phil Patricks with a fine 40 points off a 10 handicap. Runner up was Brian Turner with 39 points. B grade was taken out by Joshua Miller with a 40

points from Dave Ware with 36 points. C grade was won by Alan Kelly with 39 points. Runner up was Stu Davis on a countback with 35 points. Ball winners went to Sam Patricks with 34 points. Longest drives were taken out by smooth swinging Terry Johnston – A grade (a nice hit for an old fella). Andrew O’Keeffe

in B grade and Geoff Bohringer - C grade. Nearest the pin on the ninth was won by Prawit Prakotasung (never out of the winner’s circle) and Brian Turner hit a lovely close shot on the 17th. Sunday was a lovely day. That’s what Bruce Burton thought anyway as he won the event with 37 points. Ball winners went to 35

points. Nearest the pin on the 9th was won by Lachie King and on the 17th Dave Paterson. In the Business House competition South East Slate and Tiles won, Essential Energy also won as did High Country Auto. Of note was the shout Nick Massari gave to his group for not reaching the ladies tee on the 14th hole. Thanks

Bowls program complete Cooma Rifle Club With the playing of the Club’s Mixed Pairs Final last Saturday, the program for the 2011/12 season is now completed. Olga Jebbink and Paul Cannell had a dream start against Geoff Venables and Margherita Zassa when they were in fron 13/0 after just five ends. Geoff and Margherita then started to offer some opposition in winning five of the next six ends to trail 9/15. By end 19, Olga and Paul had extended their lead to 24/15 and with five shots on end 20, were unbeatable 29/15. Congratulations Olga and Paul and commiserations Geoff and Margherita. Twenty Four Social Bowlers on Saturday enjoyed a fast green and good company for Bowls. Bob Douglas, Lorraine West and Niel McGregor had an early battle with Sherry Seears, Elaine Taylor and Richard Nichols to hold a one shot lead after 10 ends. From that point on, Richard’s team were only able to score one shot to Niel’s team victory 29/12. Max Povey, Sergio Roncelli and Jim Lumsden dominated for the second end against Evelyn Hamilton, Cobber Seears and Jack Sajina to extend an 18/7 lead halfway to a final score of 25/14/ Keith Goodwin, Ron

Wainwright and Garry Taylor had enough start to win a couple of Melbourne Cups against Don Menchin, Mario Frezza and Ignazio Mondello only to leave a rails run to the opposition, but just managed to hang on 20/19. Renate Winckel. Mike Mannile ad Mark Buckley had an early battle against Allan Crowe, Steve Lapham and Dennis Steinfort to be 11/11 after 13 ends. Mark’s team outscored Dennis and Co over the closing stages to run out winners 24/17. Sunday Social Bowlers enjoyed a fine day but a little windy which made bowling on a fast green a bit tricky. Keith Goodwin, Steve Lapham and Ron Gammon were leading renate Winckel, Max Povey and Dennis Steinfort 14/6 before the latter found their line and length and made up the deficit. Just to show they were back in the game Dennis and Co scored a five on end 17 and followed up with six on end 18 to set up victory 28/17. Leonie Snell, Mario Frezza and Don Jarvis were 11/11 on end fourteen against Phil Dean, Ken Bowden and Richard Nichols to come home strongly to win 20/16. Herb Nichols and Jim Lumsden had a close tussle with Rulie Steinfort and

Paul Cannell but won seven of the last 12 ends to win 26/21. Cobber Seears and mark Buckley were feeling confidet against Geoff Venables and Kim Weston when they were in front 7/4. However six ends in a row that yielded Geoff and Kim 21 shots put Cobber and Mark well in arrears and weren’t able to overcome the deficit to go down 24/34. The draw for the Men’s Fours will be made today and will be on the notice board on Wednesday. It is planned to play all these matches over the weekend Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 October playing morning and afternoon each day.

Last Saturday morning shooting was from 400 yards for the monthly heat of the NRS Medal competition. Four members turned up but the cold gusty, southerly wind put some of them off. Damien has returned from Sydney where he shot in A Grade

at the NSW Queen’s Prize shoot, competing against the country’s best. In the lead-up match he received the 19th badge and in the Queen’s he received a bronze medal for third at 600m. That’s pretty good going for his first season in A Grade.

Nick! However even then he and Terry Johnston took out the scratch prize for the day. Last Wednesday a single stableford saw Bruce Burton take out A grade with 35 points. B grade was won by Campbell Childs with (round of the day) 40 points and C grade was won by Dieter Seubert also with 40 points. Ball

winners went down to 34 points with George Bowden just scraping in. Nearest the pin on the 17th went to Dave Paterson. Next week for the men sees individual stablefords programmed on all three competition days. See you on the course.

The results on Saturday were: Damien Doyle 46.2 and 50.4, total 96.6; Noel Barrett 46.2 and 47.4, total 93.6. With handicaps Damien was a half point ahead of Noel. A possible 50/50 was very good in the difficult wind conditions. Shooting next

weekend will be deferred until Monday October 1, as it is a public holiday at 1pm. This is a chance for our more casual members to put in an attendance as the rules have changed and four shorts a year are necessary and shooting will be easier with the sun in the target.

Cooma Athletics 2012 –13 season jumped quickly into spring fever with outstanding performances from the crop of new athletes as well as seasoned ones. U/7 Girl Adele Lunt in the 50m with an electrifying start to the season in clocking 9.82 seconds. Adeles speed that she showed on the Track was also elevating her in the Long Jump to record 2.48m leap. Alex Gould (U/8) enjoyed the start of the season taking out both Track events on the night with 13.31 sec for the70 m and 1m 42.22 sec at his first time over 400m. Alex’s Long Jump of 2.80 m placed him 1centametre ahead of Charlie Alcock 2.79m. The boys should have a fantastic see sawing venture at the Long Jump pit over next 6 months. Jack McPherson (U/8 new Comer) let rip with 5.48m Shot, giving the impression that he will be a Top Liner In the throws as the season progresses. U/9 Girls performances on the first night of competition indicate that they are in for a bumper season. Jessica Norris showed her ability in the High Jump with a leap of 0 80 m. While Shelly Roberts, managed to impress us with her skills in the Turbo Jav in recording 9.34 m. And Jessie Lunt in the 400 m, that she is set to fire on the Track this summer with a time of 1m39.90 sec. Philip Webb (U/10 Boy) set a great pace in the 400m with speed and stamina to stop the clock at 1m 31.49 sec to edge out Jordan Davis who produced a good run as well with a time 1m32.93 sec. Will Cahill also strive hard

to be under the 100 second mark for the 400 m, as he crossed the finishing line 0.12 of a second to spare with 1m39.88 sec. The two other outstanding 400m runs on the night were recorded by U/12 Boy Bailey Rogers 1m20.25 sec and for the Girls Chelsea Lunt (U/11) with 1m 33.94 sec. Jessica Buckland (U/12 Girl) was the only girl to reach 3 metres with a leap of exactly 3.m. Hayley Jones (U/12) first time up at the Javelin eclipsed the other Girls with a toss of 8.40m.
