THE NEWSPAPER OF THE SNOWY MONARO REGION
Unit growing
The Cooma hospital oncology unit will be receiving an upgrade to facilities thanks to a collaboration with the Monaro Committee for Cancer Research (MCCR). MCCR approached the hospital with a request to refurbish and extend the unit and engaged in discussions with hospital staff, including Health Service Manager Antje Badger. The project involves an upgrade to the current facility, maintaining treatment spaces and the addition of a consult room with the ability to teleconference with specialists. The refurbishment will include a bigger
area for larger treatment spaces, for the purpose of making patients, nurses, families and carers more comfortable when using the facility. A purpose built kitchenette with joinery and a new staff station will also be included as part of the project. “It’s a wonderful opportunity. We are very fortunate to have the support of MCCR and community members to make redevelopment possible,” Ms Badger said. “It’s terrific that people can have chemotherapy and transfusions close to home without travelling to Canberra.”

MCCR president Sandy Schofield said the project was decided upon due to its ability to make a significant difference to the community. She said the refurbishment is expected to cost in excess of $100,000 and is one of the biggest projects that MCCR has carried out. The money has come in part from a donation as well as existing funds from the various MCCR fundraisers including Strictly Musical and the Garden Parties. “When we got the donation we made a decision to do something to honour him and make a difference to the

community,” she said. “The new facility will be safer and more comfortable - people won’t feel like they’re tripping over each other. It will be more pleasurable for patients, carers and staff.” The project has been underway for over 12 months with plans being delayed, but work is due to commence in February and expected to take eight weeks to complete.

Become a hero in the fight against graffiti Young people have become local heroes in the fight against graffiti by getting involved in Graffiti Removal Day on Tuesday, November 1 at the Cooma Skate Park. Graffiti Removal Day draws attention to the fight against graffiti vandalism and encourages people to get involved in the removal and prevention of graffiti, according to Snowy Monaro Regional Council Administrator, Dean Lynch. “Snowy Monaro Regional Council are committed to combating graffiti, which is why we are proud to be working with the NSW Government, Graffiti Removal Australia and great sponsors such as Dulux, Selleys and Smart Graffiti on this event,� Mr Lynch said. In an effort to deter future acts of vandalism, participants from the Graffiti Removal Day will be invited back to work alongside local street artist Mike Shankster to install a mural at the Cooma Skate Park the following week (date TBC). This project provides an opportunity
for cultural participation and development as well as fostering a sense of ‘pride in place’ for the Skate Park and connection to the community. “Mike Shankster’s work is already featured at both the Berridale and Jindabyne Skate Parks, so this project also creates an opportunity for unity across our Region, whilst building community through participatory arts based projects,� Mr Lynch said. The theme for the mural installation at the Cooma Skate Park will be determined through consultation with the local skate community and will reflect their connection to the space. This project was made possible through funding provided by Graffiti Removal Australia and sponsorship from Dulux and Selleys. For more information or to register as a volunteer please contact Snowy Monaro Regional Council Youth Development Officer, Mel Sass on 0437 135 092 or email Melissa. Sass@snowymonaro. nsw.gov.au

He is a smart boy who can already fetch and return a ball to his carer. He would make a lovely pet for an active family or individual.

She was very shy when she first came to us but with love and a gentle hand she has learnt to trust people again. Tibby is playing with other cats at her carer’s house. She loves to climb up on her carer’s knee for a cuddle and a pat. Tibby is still a little scared when she realizes she is standing alone and will go to her safe area, her bed. We believe once she gets into a home of her own she will settle and know there is nothing to fear when you have a loving family to support you. Tibby will need to be an inside cat 0982077

Man injured in tractor accident at Delegate A Delegate man, 39, has claimed to have been run over by a tractor near his property on Saturday October 29. The man is believed to have suffered abdominal and chest injuries and abrasions on his legs. He was on a fire trail collecting firewood by himself when the accident occurred. He was able to send an SMS to his family, who contacted emergency services. He was extracted from the fire trail about 2km from his house, which is located on Balgownie Road. Cooma paramedics attended the accident as back up, however the man was airlifted by a Victorian helicopter emergency medical service to Canberra Hospital at approximately 5.30pm. Police are still investigating the incident. Paramedics transported a 36-year-old Cooma male to Cooma Hospital for a suspected overdose of the drug ice. Emergency services were called to the Alpine Hotel on Sharp Street, Cooma at 11.30pm on Friday October 28 after reports of an intoxicated and drug affected man. Staff at the hotel refused the man
service, after which he became aggressive, assaulting several people including security and police. Police would like to remind patrons that if you are refused service from a licensed premises and refuse to leave, you are liable for a $550 on-thespot fine. A motor vehicle accident occurred on the Jerangle Road at Bredbo at 11pm on Saturday October 29. While police were attending the accident, 2km east of Strike-A-Light Creek, they stopped a passing vehicle for the purpose of a random breath test. The 32-year-old female driver returned a positive reading, was arrested and was conveyed to a police station where she returned a reading of 0.153. She was charged with a
high range PCA offence and will appear before the Cooma Court in six weeks time. With the launch of the Snowy Mountains Trout Festival on the weekend, police and fisheries were patrolling both Eucumbene and Jindabyne lakes on Saturday October 29. A 23-year-old man from Canberra was in charge of a vessel and pulled over in the Buckenderra arm of Eucumbene Dam for a marine safety check and random breath test. He returned a breath analysis of 0.066 and will appear in Cooma Court in six weeks. T h e r e have been several thefts from

Police would like to remind residents to either remove valuables from sight in their cars, or to lock them to prevent items being taken. A 31-year-old Jindabyne man returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.098 when he was pulled over on Kosciuszko Road in East Jindabyne over the weekend. The man will appear before Cooma Court in about six weeks time.

Mid October proved to be the busiest time this year for the small but dedicated group of CWA members from the Jindabyne branch. The catering team was run off their feet. Firstly supper was well received by the audience of JIndy Idol. Then there was the Mature Mob lunch for around 50 people. Following this, just a couple of days later they provided morning tea for 100 council and citizens after the official opening of the Niche Wall at the Jindabyne Cemetery. Lastly was the CWA annual Cocktail Party celebrating Rural Women’s Day, which was deemed a success with the signing of some new members. Catering is one of the ways the CWA raises funds to support the community. This has been made possible also by giving the brand new commercial kitchen, at the Jindabyne Memorial
Hall, a thorough workout. Amongst all this activity they also had the branch AGM where long time local resident Toni Clark was appointed the new President.

The Cooma Little Theatre production of Sleeping Beauty (a Pantomime) by Bob Hammond debuted over the weekend after months of tireless effort from the cast and crew. A time long, long ago, there lived a King and a Queen whose only wish was to have a baby daughter. They knew nothing about dirty nappies or sleepless nights or family tax credits and the Good Fairy, being good, decided to grant their wish. And so was born the most beautiful Princess that you could
ever imagine...and so our story begins. Directed by Jayne Keegan and Nell Pernitsch with choreography by Tennille CasanovaSturgeon - and starring a host of local talent the performance contains something for everyone and is sure to leave audience members delighted. The play will run on November 4/5 and 11/12 at 7pm with 1pm matinees on the 5th and 12th. Tickets can be booked online at clt. org.au at the Cooma Visitors Centre.

Honour for Cooma lawyer in NSW Law Society Cooma lawyer, Joanne van der Plaat, says she will be an advocate for country areas following her appointment as a councillor of the Law Society of NSW. After a strong showing in the recent Law Society Council elections, Ms van der Plaat from Blaxland, Mawson and Rose (BMR) in Cooma, was voted in for her second stint on the council. Polling the highest the number of votes, Ms van der Platt fills one of two country councillor positions. She said this platform will allow her to promote country and rural practitioners. “It’ll allow me to help provide country practitioners with a voice. I found with my last stint that I was conduit between country and city practitioners,� Ms van der Plaat said. “I see it as huge honour. It’s my way of giving back to the profession.� The Law Society acts as the voice of the legal profession representing 27,000 members. It has a regulatory function, ensuring professional standards are set and enforced. A voluntary role, Ms van der
Plaat is looking forward to her coming three-year term as a councillor. “Locally it’s really good for the community to know that someone on the council is from the bush,� she said. The society has a real sense of looking after its members. Membership is voluntary and the NSW Society would have the highest percentage of practitioners becoming members out of any law society in the country.� After a successful term between 2012-2015, the Cooma lawyer is eyeing off her new term as an opportunity to champion a number of causes. “I’ll be looking at the erosion of legal services, this something I want to address. I’d also like to see the continuation of the Indigenous Enterprise Legal Assistance program that helps Indigenous business owners in their first three years. I’ll be advocating for this program.� Ms van der Plaat will sit on two committees within the Law Society. She will return to the rural issues committee and take her place on the professional conduct committee.
Being a councilor on the Law Society requires travelling to Sydney each fortnight, a task made easier by the support from Ms van der Plaat’s family and workplace. “It’s a big time commitment, but extremely worthwhile. I couldn’t do it without the amazing support of my family.� “BMR is very supportive. I’m not the first person from BMR to be on the council, June McPhie is a previous councillor and a past president.� Winning a spot on the Law Society of NSW Council was no easy task with a month’s campaigning required. Ms van der Plaat attributed her success to one key area. “The success for me was my ability to effectively use social media. I saturated Facebook and LinkedIn throughout the election period. The process is almost like a political election.� Cooma lawyer, Joanne van der Plaat, has been voted in for a second term on the Law Society of NSW Council.
Local projects awarded grants Two and arts and cultural projects will receive funding as part of a NSW Government program supporting regional arts projects, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro has announced. Mr Barilaro said the funding has been made available through the Country Arts Support Program which supports short-term locally initiated projects. “QueanbeyanPalerang Regional Council will receive $4,960 for Queanbeyan students to create a symbol depicting a future free from violence, the design will be workshopped into a public art mosaic,� said Mr Barilaro. “Youth for Global
Peace Inc will receive $3,000 for an African Music & Culture day in Cooma in February 2017. “The aim is to address cultural understanding, reduce racist attitudes of rural communities and encourage new arrivals, including refugees, to settle in the region. “This funding program offers small grants to arts and community organisations and local arts councils in regional NSW, supporting local projects while further boosting the State’s thriving regional arts and cultural scene. “Supporting local projects bolters community spirit and in turn encourages and enables people of
all ages to create and experience art and learn new skills.� Deputy Premier and Minister for the Arts Troy Grant said the Country Arts Support Program bolters community spirit across regional NSW by encouraging people to create and experience local art projects. “The variety and quality of the proposed works outlined in the applications clearly demonstrates the incredible wealth of artistic talent that resides in regional NSW,� Mr Grant said. “This funding is being provided under Arts NSW’s Arts and Cultural Development Program, which will provide more than $52 million to support artists
and arts and cultural organisations across the State in 2016/17.� The Country Arts Support Program is administered by Regional Arts NSW on behalf of Arts NSW.

Captain’s Ride passes through the region
Administrator’s Column I attended some meetings held by the Department of Premier and Cabinet at the end of last week. New Administrators and General Managers all came together to discuss strategies and how to implement better processes for the broader community. Our topics included strong organisational health and key learnings from past mergers. The Administrators also met with Paul Toole, Minister for Local Government, for a general catch up. It was great to network with the Minister and other Administrators and see how their Councils are progressing. I also caught up with John Barilaro again and we took the opportunity to meet with some of the successful applicants from the Stronger Communities Fund round one grants. We visited the Settlers Hut at Delegate, which some of the funds are going towards repairing and general maintenance, and had a history lesson while we were there. We had a tour of the hut and the surrounds and learnt about the family that originally lived there, the history of the building and about some of the original bits and pieces from the Hut. We also learnt about some of the history of Bombala and how the original oil engine powered the town many years ago. Funding has been allocated to return the engine back to Bombala to be added to the collection of the Historic Engine and Machinery Society. We also visited the Nimmitabel & District Garden Club and the Bombala Golf Club who are both undertaking works to beautify their towns and I thank you for doing this for your community. I would also like to thank those that took the time to prepare a submission regarding the proposed Bombala and Delegate streetscape plans. The plans will be developed and finalised in consultation with the Delegate and Bombala communities, taking on board all of your comments. Council is looking forward to providing new and fresh streetscapes for our community and we hope to be able to deliver this as soon as possible for you. Dean Lynch Administrator
The Steve Waugh Foundation initiative ‘The Captain’s Ride’ brought a group of 70 riders through Cooma and the Snowy Mountains this week. The riders included high profile athletes such as fellow cricketer Matthew Hayden, Anna Meares, Michael Milton, John Maclean and Adam Goodes who will complete a six day, 701km ride travelling from Mittagong to the highest peak in Australia, Mt Kosciuszko. The Captain’s Ride raises funds for the 400,000 children throughout Australia affected by rare disease. Since 2005, the foundation has supported over 600 families of people who are often overlooked due to the rarity of their illness. “The rare disease patient is the orphan of the health system, often without diagnosis, without treatment, without research and therefore without hope. This is why the Steve Waugh Foundation exists,� Waugh said. The foundation brands itself as somewhere to turn for children and young adults with rare diseases.
It offers a holistic approach to supporting children and young adults (0-25yrs) with the rarest diseases. Some children come for help once; others come back time and time again. They work to give children and young adults a better quality of life, offering support and the opportunity to connect with other. This is done through the provision of individual grants, respite camps, research and raising awareness. “We raise money for things like grants, medicines and speech therapy, there are lots of uses. “We have various committees to see if people meet the criteria and we are there for kids with nowhere else to turn. We are the only charity that does that,� Waugh said. As the children are unable to participate in the ride, they are represented by the world’s first selfpropelled children’s bike designed to help raise funds and awareness. The bike has an empty seat and is fitted with GPS and whenever it is in motion, children will have the opportunity to experience the ride
thanks to a 360 camera mounted on the seat, offering a first=person view of the ride. Steve says that when choosing which route the ride would take, naturally he wanted the one that posed the greatest challenge topographically to match the demands these children face each day. “The tallest peak in Australia would come closest to reflecting the challenge faced by children and young adults living with rare diseases daily and require the same perseverance and determination to overcome it. For us, it’s about teamwork, camaraderie, mateship and ‘Strength of Character’. It’s at the core of what we do, from the people we support to the people who support us,� Waugh said. The ride will cover approximately 116 kilometres a day across the spectacular countryside, from Mittagong, up through Goulburn, Canberra, Cooma, Adaminaby, Khancoban, and Thredbo, before arriving at the peak of Mt Kosciuszko at Crackenback. The overall goal is to raise awareness and significant funding for the Foundation. “We highly encourage that anyone and everyone wanting to show their support to come down at any point of the journey and cheer on the riders or make a donation.� Everyone interested in supporting the cause will be encouraged to donate at www. captainsride.com.au. What your donation could potentially buy: $700 - Car Window Tinting, for Rare Skin Conditions, allowing them the chance to go out with family without burning easily $2000 - Body Splint for kids unable to support their own bodies $5500 - customised chair to stop pressure sores occurring for children who can’t move easily $6000 - $15000 - Custom Manual Wheelchair $10,000 - cough assist medicine to clear airways of kids who can’t clear them on their own $20,000 - $40,000 - home modifications like ramps, fences, pathways and accessible bathrooms $50,000 - a Robotic Arm, to support independence, mobility and participation for those kids and young adults who can’t do things for themselves
So Much to Love Christmas promotion The Cooma Chamber of Commerce is very excited to announce the So Much to Love Christmas Promotion. “The Love to Shop Promotion continues to be a great benefit to our retail businesses and is now a well known campaign across Cooma and the region. These campaigns aim to entice visitors to stop and shop in our town as well as encouraging residents to shop local and to spend their hard earned dollars in Cooma rather than outside the area,� President of the Cooma Chamber of Commerce Kathy Kelly advised. Each Friday in December up until Christmas, there will be a So Much to Love bumper sticker
draw with the weekly winner receiving a $100 Why Leave Town Cooma Gift Card. So make sure you have your So Much To Love bumper stickers proudly displayed on your vehicle for your chance to win. On Friday 16 and 23 December, Cooma will be alive with colour from the So Much to Love balloons and clothing worn by over 30 participating businesses who will open until 7.00pm. Friday 16 December will also provide the opportunity for families to see Cooma’s very own vintage fire truck and have photos with Santa in Centennial Park from 5.30pm. The night will
then be capped off by Carols in The Park from 7.00pm. Friday 23 December will also see participating Love to Shop business extend trading through until 7.00pm for those last minute Christmas gifts. For a full list of participating businesses will be listed on the website from mid November www. coomachamber.com.au Now is the time to join the Cooma Chamber of Commerce for businesses that would like to participate and become a Cooma Gift Card redemption location.

Member for Monaro John Barilaro announced the $185,000 grant for the Southern NSW Local Health District last week. The grant will provide accommodation fro Aboriginal Health staff to undertake clinics and meet the needs of the Aboriginal community in a culturally sensitive and engaging manner. “The improvements will increase the capacity for Health District staff to deliver high quality, culturally appropriate programs and clinics for Aboriginal clients and the Aboriginal community of Cooma,� said Mr Barilaro. “Aligned with the grant funding, the Cooma Aboriginal Health service will receive a further boost with the engagement of a designated Aboriginal Health Worker, a first for the Cooma area.� Jackie Jackson, Southern NSW Local Heath District’s Aboriginal Health Manager said the funding is a welcome boost. “We are happy the NSW Government has provided the $185,000 in grant funding,� she said. “During the past 10 years, the
Aboriginal population in Cooma has increased by 61 percent. “This means the need for culturally suitable Aboriginal Health facilities, including the Aboriginal Chronic Disease Management program, has become important for the Cooma community. “The refurbished accommodation, counselling spaces and group activities areas will be a welcome addition to the Cooma Community Health Service.� The work that will take place includes creating an office space for an Aboriginal Health worker and refurbishment of counselling spaces to enable confidential discussions. There will also be refurbishment of the Group Activities room to allow health workers to undertake clinical rehabilitation and provide a suitable clinical environment for Allied Health support workers to work with Aboriginal clients.

Council’s website now includes a more detailed schedule of road works, including a schedule for grading of unsealed roads throughout the region based on the adopted roads hierarchy. These schedules aim to increase communication on road maintenance with our community by providing monthly updates to residents. Whilst general road works and grading is scheduled in advance, it is often necessary to alter the program due to unforeseen circumstances, such as extreme weather events. The schedule will be updated on a monthly basis to reflect required changes. “Maintenance of our region’s roads remains one of the community’s hottest topics and Council’s greatest challenge. We are constantly asked for road maintenance updates, we hope that this monthly update will provide the community with the information they seek, along with a greater understanding of the enormity of the unsealed road network council is tasked with maintaining,” commented Snowy Monaro Regional Council’s Administrator Dean Lynch said. Those interested in the road schedule updates
are encouraged to view Council’s website, which is constantly updated. An email alert option can be set up to notify residents whenever a page of interest has been updated, keeping the community informed on the topics of concern. “The website subscription alerts are so handy and allow users to stay informed on the areas that interest them. Website subscription allows users the option of selecting pages to receive email alerts as new information is uploaded on particular pages. For example, roads, employment, media releases, events, etc,” Mr Lynch said. Road safety concerns and incidents related to local and regional roads can be reported to Council directly on 1300 345 345, or email council@snowymonaro. nsw.gov.au For traffic incidents on state highways please contact Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) on 131 700 or visit their website https://www. livetraffic.com To read more about Snowy Monaro Regional Council’s latest news, please view our website https://www. snowymonaro.nsw.gov. au or follow Council’s Facebook page.

Students help Greening Australia fight dieback Dieback of the Ribbon Gums across the Monaro has been of concern to many members of the community over the past few years. Securing funding from the NSW government for the next six years, Greening Australia are working with Upper Snowy Landcare, CSIRO and South East Local Land Services to tackle the problem. Recently, Greening Australia Project Manager Nicki Taws has been conducting treeplanting sessions at the Cooba Sport and Recreation Centre. Local schools visiting the centre have been learning about the dieback, caused by a eucalyptus weevil known as Gonipterus sp. Nicki says that getting the children involved in the project is extremely important. “Being so young, the dieback across their home would probably seem normal. They need to know it isn’t normal, and what we can do to
rectify it,” she says. Nicki believes that the dieback was not addressed earlier for
species. The majority of the Ribbon Gums were also on private land, preventing the
many reasons. The Ribbon Gum is a widespread species, so there was no concern of it becoming endangered
government from getting involved sooner. The funding received will go a long way to finding out the best way
to tackle the problem. “We are really pleased with the six years of funding secured for our project and I think it is an indication of the severity of the issue we are dealing with,” says Nicki. Working with the local community, the Monaro Tree Comeback project will involve seed collecting, provenance trials, cultural burning, establishing biodiverse connectivity plantings, public field days and community planting events. Kosciuszko2Coast is hosting a forum on November 18 in Queanbeyan to discuss the dieback and woodland restoration. For more information and to RSVP, email r a i n e r. r e h w i n k e l @ hotmail.com. To become involved in the Monaro Tree Comeback project, contact Nicki via email on ntaws@ greeningaustralia.org. au.

Busy Bees at Berridale Public School Last week was very busy at Berridale Public School with our Kindy Start children enjoying their first day of big school. There were lots of smiles as the children were escorted into the classroom by their Year 4 buddies. Years 5 & 6 had a great time at their Cooba Camp with activities such as the gladiator course, the flying fox, bubble soccer and a group favourite being the big swing. Teacher Mr McMahon stated that the students showed an exemplary attitude towards

trying new things and pushing their own boundaries. Last Saturday, with help from teachers and parents, the playground equipment was moved and a soft fall area installed for the safety of the students. Thank you to everyone who assisted on the day even with the miserable weather that was experienced. We are looking forward to seeing all the children climbing on the equipment in the coming weeks.
Special performance for CNPS On Friday October 28, Sean Choolburra, an acclaimed indigenous performer, visited Cooma North Public School. Sean presented two performances, one for Stage 1 students and another for Stages 2 and 3 students. The performances were vibrant and captivating as Sean fused his engaging energy and humour with historical facts, spiritual wisdom,
depth of ancestral understanding and knowledge. He is one very exciting and talented cultural ambassador. Dance, stories, painting, fire creation and didgeridoo playing were all presented with a wonderful array of artefacts, from fishing nets to hunting shields. The students thoroughly enjoyed the engaging performances.

Historic Crossley Engine finally arrives in Bombala The Bombala Historic Engine and Machine Society would like for you to join us in our 10th Biannual Rally over November 11, 12 and 13, in this our 21st year as a club. The Crossley Engine arrived in town on Monday, right on cue. Since our 2014 rally, we have grown in great strides. The members of the community have donated to our club so much, that now space is limited. We have had to decline some very large displays until further notice. We acquired a Nuffield diesel tractor along with a International tractor, a Tea20 Ferguson tractor with side plow and mower, a couple of David Brown tractors and a couple of Fordson’s tractors, metal lathe, Cooper engine, a piston pump, and a centrifugal pump. Remember all of the items are 40 years and older! We have also acquired numerous small engines, a New Way engine, a Buzzacot engine, and a We are now looking to expand with an extension to house our growing collection; we have applied for grants to help us start building in January 2017. This year we have had a very positive response to our rally, over 120 entries so far. Tractors galore, road grader, old fire trucks, hay bailer, big trucks, logging trucks, small trucks, and vintage cars from Pambula. Other displays include lawn mowers, chain saws, shearing equipment, old hand tools plus many more. We have a fully equipped blacksmith shop and Adrian Cowell a fully qualified blacksmith will again work his magic, making horseshoes, rings, nails and other trinkets throughout the rally. Over the years we have had just about everything displayed, the Golden Oldies in cars, racers, touring
cars, and old water tankers from the NSW Forestry, caterpillars, steam engines, steam stationary machines, road works equipment, a steam truck and old military vehicles. We will have 2MNO on site on the Saturday, with soft serve ice cream, tea, coffee, cold drinks, sandwiches and sweets and barbecues on site for this main day. For the children there will be a jumping castle, face painting and games, and we will also have Rocket Racers Covers from Bairnsdale, which have never before been seen in Bombala. Over the years we have had visitors from all around the world and many from all around Australia. We have had lots of people from all walks of life, and this year local MP Mike Kelly will attend on the Saturday. Also the National Historical Machine Association Inc. Committee (our governing body) will visit. We would like to thank all who have helped return the Crossley Engine back to Bombala, we are hoping it will arrive in time for our rally. We also wish to thank our long time supporters over the years, including the Bombala Council, Norm Wilton, Monaro Logging and the Bombala RSL, which is our major sponsor this year. Thanks also to Mark Rowell of Rodwell Logging, NSW Forestry, Bombala Rotary, Garden and Gadget Gallery and to the hundreds of local people and business people who have supported us over the years, and the newspapers for their coverage of our rallies. “Restoring the Past by Preserving the Past - We will be WORKING the PAST”.

Gretta takes Probus ladies on trip around the world
COOMA NORTH PRESCHOOL
CONNECT - NURTURE - PLAY SUNDAY 13 NOVEMBER 2016 11AM - 2PM
The Taj Mahal, Mayan temples, Lake Baikal and the medina in Morocco are just a few of Gretta Seubert’s favourite places in the world. Having worked as a travel officer with SMEC and then for many years with Qantas, Gretta describes herself as a passionate traveller. Speaking at the Ladies Probus Club October meeting, Gretta spoke of her love of the surprises, the food and the people she discovers when travelling. When they first moved to the area, Gretta’s husband Dieter opened a hairdresser. Helping out as best she could in the salon, Gretta soon found it was not for her, particularly when she was told she was not sweeping correctly. So, securing a job as a travel officer with SMEC, it was a year later that Gretta began working for Qantas in the Hain Centre as an implant office for SMEC. After 10 years, Gretta says she was replaced by a 1800 number, and so moved to the Jolimont office in Canberra for the next 17 years. Gretta now works as a Mobile Travel Agent from her home in Cooma. At the Probus meeting, Gretta recalled many stories from her international adventures, including her first trip to Luang Prabang where she chose seats at the back of a Russian flight, only to find that was where live chooks and raw meet were stored in transit. Upon arriving, Gretta was the only tourist. She stayed in a motel where the generator would switch off at 7pm. Only two years ago, Gretta returned to Luang Prabang and could not recognise it. She went to stay at the same motel only to find that it had changed to a spectacular six-star establishment. In those early days she also visited ruby markets in Taunggyi while visiting Burma. Her driver refused to go with her, as the markets were considered very dangerous. Gretta took her travel companion and colleague, Bruce, along with her.
Gretta also recalled visiting Vietnam where Bruce insisted on eating only squid or cuttlefish. Out of frustration, Gretta insisted that he try some beef. However to their horror, they discovered what they were actually being served was dog. Needless to say, Bruce stuck to squid for the rest of the trip. Most of her trips were through standby travel, where you can often get left behind. In fact Gretta recalled one instance where they were in London with another couple and had to wait three days before they were able to get a flight to Singapore. However luckily for them, there were only four seats available and two of those were in first class. Needless to say, Gretta had quite an enjoyable journey on that instance. However there have been other journeys that have not been so enjoyable. Only a few years, Gretta and her friend Sue went on a river cruise on the Ganges. Everyone was violently ill and the boat ran aground three times. Once was at 4am, where they had to evacuate the boat to a little village, the residents of which had never seen white people. Many will have heard of Gretta’s daughter Anneliese Seubert, a famous fashion model. Once Anneliese began her career, it wasn’t long before she was living in Paris and New York, which provided Gretta with many more travel opportunities that were a little more luxurious in nature. Gretta concluded her presentation with a few of her favourite places, including Rome, Paris, St Petersburg, Shanghai, New York, Machu Picchu and South America. Next month’s meeting will host another fascinating guest speaker, Manager of Cooma Hospital Antje Badger. The meeting will be held on November 9 at the Cooma ExServices Club.

It took over 100,000 workers twenty-five years of hard slog in the worst possible conditions to build the mighty Snowy Scheme. That much we know. But to hollow out mountains of granite took a fair bit more than that. It took 110%. And we believe that’s as important today as it was then.

$219m boost for students More flashing lights at schools who need it most Public schools across the Monaro will benefit from a share of the record $219 million in additional needs-based funding in 2017, made possible by NSW signing the Gonski agreement. The Member for Monaro John Barilaro said in 2017 local public schools will receive $1,709,903 in additional needs-based funding. “The NSW Government is delivering on its commitment to deliver additional school funding based on student need,” Mr Barilaro said. “These extra resources go directly to our Monaro schools allowing principals to better meet the unique needs of their students and the school community. “I have seen schools in the Monaro electorate employ additional teachers with expertise to assist students who need extra support in key learning areas like literacy and numeracy.” In NSW public schools, needsbased funding is distributed under the Resource Allocation Model (RAM), which uses information about student need to deliver resources where they are needed most, consistent with the Gonski recommendations. Examples of local needs-based
funding allocations in the Monaro electorate include: • Monaro High School will receive $526,384 an increase of $120,584 • Jindabyne Central School will receive $577,918 an increase of $126,689 • Bombala High School will receive $313,037 an increase of $20,250 • Cooma North Public School will receive $308,173 an increase of $105,618 • Karabar High School will receive $1 million an increase of $124,816 • Queanbeyan High School will receive $689,168 an increase of $168,605 • Queanbeyan South Public School will receive $758,878 an increase of $200,234 • Braidwood Central School will receive $447,906 an increase of $71,101 • Bungendore Public School will receive $308,848 an increase of $58,250 • For details on more local school funding allocations please contact 62994899.
Three schools in the Monaro electorate will see additional sets of flashing lights installed to improve road safety for children travelling to and from school, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said today. Queanbeyan East Public School, Queanbeyan High School and St Patrick’s Primary School in Cooma are to receive additional school zone flashing lights. “School children are some of the most vulnerable people on the road and 40km/h school zones are an important way to keep them safe as they make their way to and from school,” said Mr Barilaro said. “That’s why some schools across the Monaro will see additional sets of flashing lights installed to improve road safety for children travelling to and from school. “Every school across the state currently has a set of flashing lights as an extra warning for drivers to
slow down, and now we’re rolling out another 400 sets of flashing lights for schools with multiple busy entrances. “We know that a car that hits a pedestrian at 50km/h is twice as likely to kill someone as a vehicle travelling at 40km/h, and casualties in school zones have dropped by around 30 per cent since these zones were introduced. “In addition to 40km/h school zone speed limits, we also have tougher penalties that apply in school zones, and we’ve installed pedestrian crossings, dragon’s teeth and fencing to stop young people from crossing where it isn’t safe.” Most school zones in NSW operate from 8am to 9.30am and 2.30pm to 4pm, but a small number operate at different times. School zones with different operating times have different coloured signage and operating hours clearly displayed.
Rotary Youth leadership The Rotary Club of Cooma is offering young people across the Snowy Monaro region an opportunity to build their confidence, and boost their leadership skills. Rotary has put the call out for people aged 18 to 25-years-old to apply for the prestigious Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA). The recipient will attend a six-day youth leadership program in Canberra early next year. Rotary Cooma is casting their net far and wide, taking in recipients from Michelago to Adaminaby, and to Delegate (covering the whole Snowy-Monaro government area). The young person selected to represent the region will have access to the best mentoring minds on offer. Mentors from the corporate, non-
COOMA ROTARY EXTRA MARKETS
government, public and sport sectors are lined up for the program running from January 15-20. Prospective RYLA recipients will be interested in growing their leadership skills, and furthering their potential in life. The place in the program is sponsored by Rotary Cooma, a position most sought after. Throughout the six-day leadership program, the local recipient will join award winners from across southern NSW where leadership, confidence building and problem solving topis will be featured. To take advantage of this potentially life-changing program, applications can be found by googling RYLA D9710. Applications close on Tuesday, November 8.

C A L L S Well, the Melbourne Cup has been run and won again and in an even more international field of runners. It is a shame that the Australian racing industry concentrates its efforts on sprinters or middle distance runners and not stayers any more. But, congratulations to those who picked winners and commiserations to the rest of us.
This weekend is the start of a whirlwind wind- down to Christmas. With the Snowy Ride, the National Busking Championships, special Rotary markets AND the MEA showjumping carnival, there is something on for everyone.
From this weekend on, there is something BIG happening every week until the day the jolly man in the red suit arrives to bring good cheer and presents. Anyone who can’t find something to entertain themselves just isn’t trying!
What was that one of readers saw on Saturday- was is really a police officer booking an ambulance paramedic? Perhaps they were just exchanging pleasantries or comparing the roles they provide out community?
Anniversary of the Battle of Beersheba Monday marked the 99th anniversary of the Battle of Beersheba, and the historic charge of the 4th Light Horse Brigade. Australia suffered 67 casualties, including 31 killed in the attack on Beersheba, a heavily fortified town 43 kilometres from the then Turkish stronghold of Gaza. The light horsemen charged the Turkish lines at a full gallop in three waves, 500 metres apart. Using their bayonets as swords, the momentum of the surprise attack carried them through the Turkish defences and the Australians took more than 700 prisoners.
Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Dan Tehan acknowledged the battle as one of the great cavalry charges in military history. “The Light Horse Regiments were largely made up of men from small towns across rural Australia, mounted on horses known as ‘walers’. The actions of the Light Horse at Beersheba became legendary, as they charged over open ground towards entrenched enemy positions,” Mr Tehan said. “Today we remember the Australians who were killed or injured in the battle and we are grateful for the service and sacrifice of
the men who served in the 4th Light Horse Brigade and of every man and woman who has served in defence of our country.” Next year is the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Beersheba in Be’er Sheva, Israel, and planning for a number of commemorative activities is underway. A registration process for Australians wishing to attend commemorations will be conducted. Details of the service and how to obtain an attendance pass will be announced on the DVA website when planning is completed.
Residents ready for Remembrance Day NEXT Friday, November 11 is of course Remembrance Day, and once again the Bombala community is being encouraged to gather at the local cenotaph to honour those who have served Australia in war and conflicts. This is a special time for us all to remember not only those who made the ultimate sacrifice and laid down their lives
for their country, but also the many who returned home, and those who continue to fight today. A traditional Remembrance Day ceremony will be observed at 11am next Friday morning in Bombala, with the RSL SubBranch leading proceedings, while students of the the local schools will deliver The Ode and make the Remembrance Day Address.
Another very important feature of the ceremony will be the Wreath Laying, with all encouraged to prepare their floral tributes to be laid at the cenotaph during the service. Everyone is encouraged to be a part of the important and reflective morning, with the crowd urged to gather at the Bombala Cenotaph prior to 11am on Friday, November 11.
CSIRO Double Helix Quix Quiz questions 1. Where does a geothermal power plant get its energy from? 2. If you rub a diamond and a piece of glass together, what happens? Does a) the glass scratch the diamond, b) the diamond scratch the glass, or c) each scratch the other? 3. Which distance is longer: from sea level to the top of the highest mountain, or from sea level to the bottom of the deepest ocean trench? 4. Where does cotton come from? 5. Can plants catch viruses?
Quiz answers 1. Geothermal energy comes from hot rocks that are deep underground. 2. b) The diamond will scratch the glass, because diamonds are harder than glass. 3. The deepest trench is 11 kilometres deep, while the tallest mountain is less than nine kilometres high. 4. Cotton comes from a plant. 5. Yes, plants can catch viruses. But plant viruses and human viruses are very different, so you can’t catch a cold from a tree!

Going back to that conversation however, the reason it took place was because one mum had been sorting through her daughter’s things and felt the trainer bras were looking a bit tired and she was wondering if she could donate them to a charity shop instead of tossing them out. She could them replace them with new trainers. Honestly, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

The thing is though, little girls in bras are not cute. Like, with so much pressure on them to start getting into things way before their time as it is, the “trainer bra” is just one more unnecessary bit of nonsense they don’t need and mothers should learn to put their foot down should a frenzied request for one of these items crop up over the breakfast table. When the time to wear a bra comes, fine, but up until that time the answer should be No.
In case you haven’t seen one of these, they are bras that are completely flat and I can remember some of the little snots in my ballet class wearing them, parading around the dressing room in them actually so that those of us who didn’t have one could look on in envy (which we did). These trainer bras were always pretty too, either pastel colours or white with little bows and rosebuds and things and were mini copies of the real item. Thing is, we were all around nine or 10 years old and had no physical reason whatsoever to be wearing a bra. Nevertheless, I knew girls that had them and they made sure everyone knew they were wearing them. Like the one who wore a see-through shirt over hers and then went out on her pushbike, content

But why do flat-chested little girls need pretend bras? The short answer is, they don’t, so why do underwear manufacturers produce them? Probably for the same reason cafes put a blob of milk foam in a mini cup, sprinkle it with chocolate powder, call it a babyccino and and charge $2.50 for it! If they can con gullible parents into buying them then it’s great for the profit margin.
But what purpose exactly do they serve and what exactly are they meant to train anyway? If it is to train little girls on how to put one on then they are a waste of time and money because how to put on a bra is built in to the female psyche. When the time comes, girls just know how to put these things on. That must have been the purpose though because how do you train breasts? They just grow out, right? End of story.

in the knowledge that everyone would be able to see she was wearing a bra.
Something I’d completely forgotten about popped up in conversation just recently and it’s something that no matter how I look at it, I still cannot see the sense in it. I’m talking about “trainer bras”. Also know as “beginner bras”, they appeared when I was in primary school and apparently they are still around today and just as popular.

Freda Kaufline turns 98 - at bridge Celebrating her 98th birthday, Freda Kaufline is still plays bridge twice a week. A founding member of the Monaro Bridge Club, Freda is passionate about the game, but more importantly about the friends she has made at the club. Freda says her introduction to bridge was when her and four friends purchased a ‘How to Play Bridge’ book. They met once weekly, and this soon developed into the Monaro Bridge Club, which was formed in 1984. Dugald Mitchell was the founding president of the club, and he also still plays today. Freda says that she has outlived many of the other founding members of the club. Back in those days, they played in one of the rooms at the public school, before moving to their current location at the Cooma Ex-Services Club. During those early days, Freda recalls having teachers come to instruct the group how to play. One very special guest
was famous bridge player Ron Klinger, who Freda says was very helpful. “Every time you sit at the bridge table, you learn something,� she says. The club now has 77 members and meets twice weekly, and also holds additional charity events and trophies throughout the year. Freda has played in many states across the country including NSW, Victoria, Queensland, ACT and on Norfolk Island. “I can recall one trip to play in Congress at Wagga Wagga with my partner Andrew Struik. We had to follow a snow plough for part of the journey,� says Freda. “And we won.� Scoring master points for good play, Freda herself is a Silver Life Master. She has won many trophies in her time, some of which were with her playing partner Joan Howard. Joan unfortunately passed
people to join the bridge club. It is a very friendly and helpful club and bridge is very addictive.� To join, contact Therese on 6452 2464.
Freda was surprised with a 98th birthday cake from the Monaro Bridge Club, of which she is a founding member.

Bombala Hospital Auxiliary celebrates a historic milestone
State President Linda Swales, Bombala President Jenni Brownlie, Secretary Dian Day, Treasurer Kay Adamson and South East Regional Representative Christine Smith. The Bombala Hospital Ladies Auxiliary celebrated a huge milestone with its 80 birthday on October 14. The small but dedicated group of locals welcomed a series of special guests to the Bombala Golf Club for the occasion, including Hospital Auxiliary State President, Linda Swales and Regional representative, Chris Smith. A number of auxiliaries from around the region also attended to pass on their well wishes at the birthday celebrations, including those from Cooma, Bega, Moruya, Queanbeyan and nearby Delegate. Bombala President, Jenni Brownlie welcomed the group to morning tea, while addresses were
made by the Bombala Hospital’s Rhonda Stewart, Regional rep, Chris Smith and guest speaker for the morning, “bra lady” Wendy Christianson. A certificate of recognition was presented to the Auxiliary by the Snowy Monaro Regional Council, and a birthday cake was cut by the State President. Bombala Hospital Auxiliary history (provided by the Auxiliary based on the group’s minutes) On August 8, 1936 a wellattended meeting was called by Matron Pearse to form a Hospital Auxiliary. The inaugural meeting was held at the CWA rooms at the
Bombala Auxiliary President Jenni Brownlie with Snowy Monaro Regional Council’s Local Representative Committee Member Diane Hampshire.
showground. Present were Mesdames Barrett, N Wright, Macarthur, Cozins, Warburton, Roberts, Kirshaw, G Garnock, McKellar and the Misses Edwards, Mead and Matron Pearse. Membership fee was 2/- annually. The meetings were held the first Tuesday of each month at the CWA rooms. One meeting was held at the grandstand, no reason given in the minutes. Hope it wasn’t winter! To raise money the ladies sold rags to the garages, held hoy parties and fetes - there was no street stall then. The Auxiliary bought material to make curtains and cushions. They mended and provided other items needed for the comfort of the
patients. During the war the Auxiliary almost folded but for a few dedicated members. At this point there was a large gap in the minutes, and thus no history of the group is available for a period. In 1959 the new maternity wing was opened. The Auxiliary held a fete to raise money to buy linen and baby clothes. In 1968 the meetings moved to the hospital and were held in the nurses dining room, and were changed from Tuesday to the fourth Wednesday of each month. One item of interest, when the present matron was leaving to get married the Auxiliary bought her a
lovely gift to the value of $4 - how things have changed. Over the 80 years the Auxiliary has seen a lot of changes take place regarding the hospitals. The Auxiliary has played a major role in providing much needed equipment for the comfort of the patients, now known as clients, and to assist the staff in providing care. The items bought are too numerous to mention. Without the generous support of the community we would not be able to have the well equipped hospital we have.

Probus enjoys champagne luncheon Probeans, both women’s and men’s, were royally greeted with a glass of champagne by Probean Malcolm Rose and his good wife Lindy, at their dwelling in Yaouk, where a skilful Cooma bus driver had deposited them at the end of “a track, winding back, to an old-fashioned shack”. Well, perhaps not as old-fashioned as that, as a wind turbine was in full swirl on the wind-swept hillside and a couple of satellite dishes adorned the roof. It was, however, a long, winding track, broken mid-journey by a welcome stopover at the newly refurbished Shannon’s Flat hall, where a cuppa and a comfort stop were both offered. We were informed that we would be
welcome at the next dance night that would be held at the hall, and that there was life in the old girl yet. Well done, Shannon Flatters! Meanwhile, back at the ranch, nibbles accompanied the champagne, and these were followed by a brilliant chicken luncheon, with a variety of salads, washed down, if one so desired, by red or white-coloured liquids. Or both, if it seemed appropriate. During luncheon we were entertained by a formidable lady, Caroline FullerWebster - formidable only in so far as she regaled us with tales of her career in Naval Intelligence and Cabinet over many years.
Caroline was subbing for her husband, back on the farm nursing a sick cow, and did a great job – thanks Caroline. (Did the cow survive?). The salads were followed by sweets and some beautiful cheeses, with coffee if desired. All in all, a magnificent spread, and many thanks to the Roses and their friends, who assisted with the presentation. Outings like this are a feature of Probus, so if you are retired but still want a life, ring Bob Weston, on 6452 7008, or Derek Watson, on 6457,1321, and invite yourself as a prospective member.

Big bash at Bonang The Big Bonang Arvo (BBA) is happening again this year on Tuesday, November 8 at the Bonang Hall between 3 and 7pm. Orbost Regional Health Community Recovery Facilitator for Tubbut, Bonang, Goongerah and Bendoc, Lorellee Cockerill said the Big Bonang Arvo had been running for years. “The BBA is primarily a health promotion day, but through my fire recovery role I am assisting the local community to take advantage of the event and add to it by having a community market this year,” she said. Ms Cockerill has been working with the fire affected communities since March 2015. “I was involved with the BBA last year, but the attendance numbers were very low. “So this year we have collaborated with the community and the Tubbut Neighbourhood House and we are changing the way we run the BBA. “We have invited other organisations to get involved and are encouraging the community to use the afternoon as a market day where they can sell their crafts and produce,” she said. The BBA is an opportunity for
residents to get shire and health information from a counselling team. Other services available are Occupational T h e r a p y , P h y s i o t h e r a p y, Speech Therapy, Dental Health, Mental Health and Women’s Health. “You can get your blood pressure taken, your skin checked, have a pap smear and see the doctor,” Ms Cokerill said. “Advice will be available on diet and people can consult the physio for information on what to do with their crook shoulder or other conditions,” she said. Representatives from the Delegate Multi-Purpose Service and the Country Fire Authority will also be there on the day. People are reminded if they want to see the doctor to make sure they bring their Medicare card with them. Along with the market selling craft and local produce there will be a lucky door prize and a fruit and vegie raffle. “We are looking forward to it, it’s a lovely social day that ends with a hearty barbecue,” Miss Cockerill said. “Hopefully it will be a nice sunny day so that people take advantage of all the services on offer.”

Cooma Men’s Probus Club Tools donation to engine club This month the Cooma Men’s Probus Club were taken deep into our mathematical universe by Dr Robert Wiles. One of the great mysteries of science. Dr Wiles explained, is that our universe, which most scientists consider to have started randomly as a “big bang”, is described by mathematics, which is counterintuitive. After all, big bangs would be expected to cause chaos, rather than order. Ancient Greek philosophers considered the universe to be unchanging, that it had no beginning and no end, and would go on forever. But Einstein changed all that with his 1915 Theory of General Relativity equations, which suggested that not only was there a beginning, but that there would be an ending also. Einstein, however, to make his predictions work, invented a “fudge factor”, called the Cosmological Constant, which he hoped would satisfy his many critics. In 1948, Fred Hoyle coined the phrase “The Big Bang” in an attempt to deny Einstein’s work, but in 1965 scientists accidentally discovered the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, and Einstein was back in vogue. (A Nobel Prize rewarded those scientists). From all of this has arisen what is called the Standard Model of Cosmology, and is here that the surprise begins – it can be described mathematically! What is even more astounding is that the maths show that even from its beginning, the foundation of the universe must have been exquisitely controlled or the universe could not have developed to support life. Isaac Newton started it all, of course. In 1687 he published his Principia Mathematica in which he showed that gravitation could be described mathematically. The Principia also set out his laws of motion which are still used to direct the flight of satellites to Mars, Jupiter and Pluto, and to land men on the moon. He also adapted Kepler’s laws of planetary motion. More fundamental forces have since been discovered – electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces, and these have been shown to be mathematical also. In fact, there are over 100 constants and fundamental ratios in the universe that are all in balance with each other which allow the earth to support life! Edgar Andrews, Emeritus Dean of Engineering at the University of London notes: The laws that describe the physical cosmos possess a number of striking properties. First of all, they are almost universally described in terms of mathematics, that is, they take the form of algebraic equations rather than verbal statements. We can put into words what the equations are telling us, but the laws can only be stated precisely...using the language of mathematics. That is, the law itself is a mathematical expression. The whole of nature appears to be built out of mathematical Lego. Paul Davies, Emeritus Professor of Physics at Cambridge, agreed and added It seems as though somebody
has fine-tuned nature’s numbers to make the universe. Dr Wiles then listed a number of examples of this fine-tuning and pointed out that we are living in a very privileged piece of real estate, “the Goldilocks Zone”, not too hot nor too cold, but just right. Had earth’s orbit been other than nearly circular around the sun, or had had a radius less or more than it now is, a livable temperature for human life would not have resulted and we would not be here. Even the suggestion that there is a multiverse of universes does not solve the problem – where did the information necessary to create these mathematics come from in the first place? As John Lennox remarks, The relationship between mathematics and physics goes very deep and it is hard to think of it as some random accident. In an attempt to understand these relationships better, a large database has been established from over 80 mathematicians in 12 countries. In spite of all the maths, no self-organising models of the universe have yet been suggested. Cosmic bootstraps, and Self-tuning universes do not fit the bill, nor do self-generating ones. None of these models can explain the generation of information, nor provide a credible mechanism for the derivation of the laws of the universe. DR Wiles went on to say that ultimately the biggest problem with the formation of the universe is that the pre-specified information could not have occurred by chance, for we cannot spontaneously generate either matter or information. If systems cannot generate meaningful information from nothing, then there must be an “Information Generator” to account for the gargantuan amount of fine-tuned digital information in the universe. Perhaps the final word should go to Sir Roger Penrose, FRS and Professor of Mathematics at Oxford, who wrote: It is hard for me to believe that such superb theories could have arisen merely by some random selection of ideas, leaving only the good ones as survivors. The good ones are simply much to good to be survivors that have risen in a random way. There must be instead, some deep underlying reason for the accord between mathematics and physics”. Thus the evidence suggests that we live in a precisely constructed, mathematically defined universe that required am external intelligent source to generate the amount of information that constructed it. It makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Thank you Dr Wiles, for making us think, and we look forward to your next book. And as the Probean Information Officer, I would particularly love to know what Isaac Newton would have thought if he knew how well his equations have served us up to this time. And do not forget, if you are retired, are bored and looking for something to help build your minds or fill your days, the Men’s Probus Club would love to hear from you.

Frank Rodwell (centre) handed over a fascinating display board of old tools to Bombala and Historic Engine and Machinery Society members, Harry and Merv Peadon last week, with the society looking forward to its Biannual Engine Rally coming up over November 11, 12 and 13.
The Bombala and District Historic Engine and Machinery Society has gratefully accepted a kind donation just in time for its upcoming Biannual Engine Rally over the weekend of November 11, 12 and 13. The society has taken ownership of a fascinating display board that has been fitted out with a collection of old tools by Cooma vintage vehicle enthusiast, Frank Rodwell. Frank is a member of the Sapphire Coast Historic Vehicle Club which supports the Bombala Historic Engine and Machinery Society, and he created the board especially for the group. “I have a great collection of tools and equipment relating to cars and machinery,” Frank said. “Knowing that the Bombala engine club is running such a good show and has its own premises and so on, I put together this tool board for them to display to the public.” Frank explains that the tools shown on the board relate to early stationary engine makers
such as Lister, International Harvester, Wolseley and several others. “And they’ve all been de-rusted and either painted or oiled ready for display,” he added. Naturally the Bombala Historic Engine and Machinery Society is very pleased with the new addition to its collection, and offers it’s sincerest thanks to Frank both for his generosity and the effort it took to create the board. “On behalf of the members, I’d just like to thank Frank for his contribution, which will fit into our collection very well,” said BHEMS member, Harry Peadon. The Biannual Engine Rally is really gearing up to be a big success in its tenth year, featuring a number of new attractions for the young and young at heart, as well as maintaining its much loved ‘Working the Past’ theme. Stay tuned for more on the Bombala Engine Rally in next week’s Monaro Post.

Accessing healthcare in our community can involve travelling large distances. Many people do this not knowing about compensation they may be entitled to that will assist with the cost of transport. Isolated Patients Travel and Accommodation Assistance Scheme (IPTAAS) is a NSW Government initiative providing financial assistance towards travel and accommodation costs for patients needing to travel long distances for specialist medical treatment that is not available locally. IPTAAS provides subsidies for private vehicle travel, public transport (trains, buses and taxis), air travel (in special circumstances) and accommodation. In some circumstances they may reimburse the cost of having someone to support you during your travel. The eligibility criteria is: • you need to be a resident of NSW • hold a Medicare card
• live more than 100km from the nearest treating specialist • your combined trips to and from the specialist exceed 200kms/week • you are not be eligible for any other government travel assistance schemes • you are not be claiming expenses under Workers Compensation • you do not hold a gold Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) card Claim forms can accessed by visiting the IPTAAS website at www.iptaas.health.nsw.gov.au, or calling IPTAAS office on 1800 478 227. For repeat trips, a travel diary can be accessed. Claim forms need to be signed by the health care professional, so ensure that you take them with you before you travel.

Upgrade works at Jindabyne landfill Have you noticed the improvement works being carried out at Jindabyne Landfill? Snowy Monaro Regional Council are ensuring environmental requirements are met at the Jindabyne Regional Waste Management Facility with an upgrade to the storm water system and capping of finished sections of the landfill site. General Manager, Joseph Vescio said that “the stormwater water upgrade includes a new detention pond, which will control the flow of storm water into the Snowy River, and the upgrade of existing drainage around the site which will separate the stormwater from the landfill cell�. “Landfill capping will be required across the whole site once the
landfill life has been used, as per NSW Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) requirements, ensuring that the environment is protected from any contamination from waste�, continued Mr Vescio. The cap consists of a clay layer, drainage layer and clean fill for revegetation, which has been approved by the EPA. For more information on the upgrade works at the Jindabyne Landfill or any other Council enquires please phone 1300 345 345.

National busking championships to take flight this weekend The Australian National Busking Championships (ANBC) is set to take flight this weekend with some of the best buskers in the country headed for Cooma. Now in its fifth year, the 2016 installment of the ANBC will be the biggest yet. A record number of buskers and the largest prize pool in the championship’s history has been secured for the Saturday, November 5 event. Regional Express Airlines has jumped on board as a sponsor of the event, offering two return tickets from Cooma to Sydney. This year there is $10,600 in cash prizes up for grabs as buskers compete for the title of Australia’s premier busker. Returning to Cooma to defend their crown is The String Family from Wollongong, whose unique sounds captivated the audience and judges at last year’s championships. Other

Wollongong family The String Family will be back to defend their crown at this Saturday’s Australian National Busking Championships. buskers of note, include Deano Martin, young star Lucy Sugerman and local band Break 2 Beats. The lineup of talent is the best the ANBC has seen with buskers coming from far and wide to showcase their talents. They will
compete for buskers dollars in a bid to earn a people’s choice award. Hundreds of spectators will take to the streets of Cooma’s CBD for the one-day extravaganza. Busking hot spots will be in Centennial Park, up Sharp Street to the Alpine Hotel,
across to the Cooma Hotel and Woolworths and down to Mack’s Corner. Be sure to check out the busking timetable on page 25 for more information on the times and locations of the many buskers. As the streets are filled with
the sound of music, locals can also take in the Rotary Markets in Centennial Park. Judges will make their way across the hot spots, selecting a field for the ANBC finals concert. The concert will be held in Centennial Park at 4pm, with buskers battling it out in a series of battle rounds to see who earns the judges and audiences’ vote. The ANBC celebrates an array of music styles and influences. It’s a celebration of music, taking its spot as one of region’s most popular events. The success of the Cooma event has spread across the country with ANBC regional finals being held in Stanthorpe, Queensland, earlier this year. Planning has begun to host regional finals in other towns throughout Australia with Cooma to then host a national final come November.

Bombala embraces body image documentary Underlining the importance of the issue of body image - and the depth of feeling that often accompanies it - a group of over 100 women gathered in the RSL Club for the Bombala screening of the Embrace documentary on Friday night. Zoe Joseph of Cre8ting More was thrilled to welcome such a large crowd to the night, being determined to get the positive Body Image Movement message through to her home town. Embrace is described as a social impact documentary that explores the issue of body image, and has been highly praised for inspiring people to rethink the way they see their bodies. And it certainly had an effect on the Bombala district ladies who enjoyed the screening last week. “It really was an

I just wish I had seen it Zoe offered her sincere thanks when I was a 17 year old to the community for its girl. Thank you for bringing support of the event. ‘Embrace’ to Bombala.”
Friday’s screening also mean that Zoe can give back to the community further following the event, donating $250 to the Southern Monaro Community Fund and $250
to the Delegate Preschool’s upcoming fundraiser. “I just really want to thank the community for its incredible support of the screening,” Zoe said. Her thanks includes all
of those who attended on the night, the many local businesses and individuals that contributed to the gift bags, and those who supported the event in any other way.

A group of over 100 women came together to watch the empowering ‘Embrace’ screening in Bombala recently, with Zoe now able to purchase a license to show the movie at the local high school.
New tool detects malignant breast cancer tissue during surgery A tool that will enable surgeons to detect malignant breast cancer tissue during surgery using new imaging techniques has been developed by researchers at The University of Western Australia and the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research. The new tool allows surgeons to assess the thin rim of healthy tissue, known as the “surgical margin”, to ensure that an entire tumour has been removed during surgery and does not recur. The technology has the potential to spare thousands of breast cancer patients the burden of a second surgery and become an important new addition to the clinical toolkit. The researchers have named their innovative technique “Optical coherence micro-elastography” (OCME) and described their latest developments in a paper written by PhD student Wes Allen, from UWA’s School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering and the Perkins. The paper was published in Biomedical Optics Express and highlighted by the Optical Society, a leading professional organisation in the field of optics. OCME forms high-resolution images of how tissue feels. This is achieved by applying a mechanical force to the tissue and measuring how much the tissue deforms using
the imaging technique, optical coherence tomography. The issue in breast-conserving surgery. stiffness of the tissue at each point is then mapped into an “This tool will provide surgeons with feedback about image, referred to as an elastogram. whether malignant tissue exists in the surgical margin Dr Brendan Kennedy, a senior research fellow with while the patient is still in the operating room,” Dr Kennedy said. “Ultimately, we believe that the technology can be translated into a handheld probe that can be used during surgery. “The potential widespread impact of this tool is attributed to the collaborative, crossdisciplinary nature of our research group. By working closely with surgeons and pathologists, we have developed a good understanding of what they need. “As engineers, we can develop fantastic tools with high resolution, but if they’re not solving the clinical problem that the surgeons tell us about, they’re not going to have a lasting impact.” The research is part funded by the Australian Research Council, Australia’s National Health and Medical Research Council, Australia’s National Breast Cancer Foundation, Cancer Council Western Australia, the Department of Health, Western UWA’s School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Australia and a scholarship from the William and Marlene Engineering, who heads the research team at the Perkins, Schrader Trust of UWA. said incomplete removal of cancerous tissue was a major

Grid companies could save customers over $1.7 billion in costs and provide more reliable service to rural customers if they can make smarter use of offgrid technology. Analysis released by the Energy Networks Association (ENA) and CSIRO, as part of their Electricity Network Transformation Roadmap program, assesses the role Microgrids and Stand Alone Power Systems could play as alternatives to traditional grid infrastructure. Speaking at the Re-Powering NSW energy conference, ENA Chief Executive Officer, John Bradley, said the study by Energeia highlighted the need for new rules so that networks weren’t forced to connect customers at a higher cost than necessary. “This analysis to 2050 finds a physical grid connection provides a better service at lower cost for most customers, but the cost and quality of stand alone systems is improving rapidly,” Mr Bradley said. “At the grid edge, almost $700 million could be saved by supplying 27,000 future rural farm customers with a stand alone power system rather than building more poles and wires. “By 2050 these customers could be supplied more cheaply and reliably with stand alone systems using 2 gigawatts of solar PV or more than twice Victoria’s solar PV capacity today and 7.5GWh of battery storage,” Mr Bradley said. Mr Bradley said that if networks connected these customers with stand alone power systems
the lower costs would reduce the bills of other customers who cross-subsidise rural connections. “These rural customers are supplied at the uniform network tariff, which makes it unlikely they will have a financial incentive to install their own stand alone system. “However, their network provider can support customers at the grid edge in smarter ways with savings to all customers and often a more reliable service for the rural customer. “Australia’s needs modern rules for this to happen as most customers are effectively required to be connected to “poles and wires.” Mr Bradley said the analysis also assesses the scope for general customers to ‘leave the grid’ finding it could be economic in the 2030s for some customers. “By 2050, the analysis shows up to 10 percent of customers could leave the grid using a stand alone system and that would result in higher costs for other customers,” Mr Bradley said. “Customers with the ability to self-supply could be offered ‘win win’ incentives to stay on grid while operating in island mode during peak demand events. “The analysis finds that incentivizing customers with onsite resources to stay grid connected could save all customers over $1 billion in network charges between 2030-2050, equivalent to 4% per annum on average network bills,” Mr Bradley said.

Don’t be haunted by your home loan this Halloween If your mortgage debt is sending chills up your spine, now could be the perfect time to do something about it. Whether you’ve had your home loan for a year or more than a decade, now is a good time to review your situation. Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said interest rates were currently sitting at all-time lows, which is great news for both home owners and property investors. “After the Reserve Bank of Australia cut the official cash rate in August, the nation’s lenders followed suit, taking home loan interest rates to new lows,� he said. “Today, some lenders are offering interest rates as low as 3.78%. With that said, property investors and owner occupiers who are paying more than 4.5% interest on their mortgage could be paying too much. “I would encourage all property owners to take the time this Halloween to review their mortgage and see if they are still in the best solution for their needs.� With Christmas right around the corner, Mr Flavell said now is the ideal time for property owners to review their mortgage and potentially refinance into a sharper rate. “By refinancing into a lower rate you can significantly reduce your monthly mortgage repayments and, in turn, free up some of your cash flow,� he said. “And if you have more money in your back pocket each month, you should feel less financially stressed come the silly season.
“Of course, for those thinking of refinancing their mortgage, there are a few simple steps you should follow to ensure you don’t fall victim to a money trick this Halloween.� Step 1: Do your research Mr Flavell said it was critical for people to do their research online first and see what home loan products and interest rates are available to them. “By knowing what else is available on the market, you can determine whether refinancing is the best option for your needs,� he said.
“While there can be some fantastic benefits in refinancing your home loan, there are costs associated with the process, including break fees, loan application fees, valuation fees, settlement fees, stamp duty and, in some instances, Lenders Mortgage Insurance,� he said. “The costs associated with refinancing can be significant. As such, it is important for you to work out how much money you will save by refinancing and then identify whether it will outweigh the cost of refinancing.�
Step 2: Speak to a professional “Once you have established whether there is a better product for you on the market, it is important to speak with a professional. “Your local mortgage broker can do all of the leg work for you and liaise with a number of lenders to negotiate you the best possible mortgage for your unique set of circumstances.� Step 3: Work out the cost Finally, Mr Flavell said it was critical for mortgage holders to understand the costs associated with refinancing before heading down this path.

Inflation surge should see rates left on hold The Reserve Bank of Australia is widely expected to leave the official cash rate on hold next week, after new data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported a surge in inflation. “Looking at the latest Consumer Price Index data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, consumer prices rose by 0.7% over the last quarter – up from 0.4% in the June quarter,” Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said. “Not only was this result higher than last quarter, but it was also above economist expectations. Moreover, the annual CPI rate quickened to 1.3 per cent from 1 per cent.
“With this in mind, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Reserve Bank of Australia choose to leave the official cash rate on hold when the Board meets on Tuesday. Moving forward, Mr Flavell said even if the Reserve Bank of Australia does choose to leave the cash rate on hold in November, further rate cuts in 2017 cannot be ruled out at this point in time. “Rates could still fall lower over the coming months depending on what happens in the domestic and global markets. If this happens, all eyes will look to Australia’s lenders to see if they follow suit and pass on the rate cuts to their customers.”
Aussie house hunters sold on speed
Fast broadband brings new age of ‘virtual-agents’ Forget parking spaces and pools, a fast broadband connection is one of the key purchasing decisions for future homebuyers, according to new research. The nbn™ Ready Homes report reveals when searching for a new property, the majority (80 per cent) of Aussie house hunters rate a good broadband service as a major factor in their decision making process. Two thirds (66 per cent) of Aussie buyers say they would negotiate a lower price or even reject their potential home altogether (16 per cent), if it is not available. nbn’s General Manager of Build Partnerships, Julian Nachmias said: “For many buyers, a fast internet connection is no longer a luxury, it’s an expected addition to Australian properties. “Whether you’re a prospective buyer with a large family, a young couple who works from home or retirees with a passion for online entertainment, access to fast broadband is increasingly as important as having running water and electricity available in your home.” Tech-savvy real estate agents are also taking advantage of the nbn™ network by new technologies to market properties in pursuit of a competitive edge for their business. Keyes & Co Property Founder, Damien Keyes said:
“High resolution photography has always been a staple of real estate marketing, but now home owners want to see more of a property before they even attend an inspection. Since connecting to the nbn™ network, we have become ‘virtual-agents’ and are now able to offer online tours, which allow buyers to inspect the property through 3D walk-throughs and 360 degree photography taken by drones. “It’s proving to be a profitable way for us to attract home buyers who are relocating from across the country and gives us a point of difference from other agents.” Emerging technologies for real estate agents include: Smart photography: drone photography and 360 degree videos mean home buyers can be immersed in a space from a remote location which limits the need for international or interstate buyers to travel. Interactive floor plans: provides potential buyers a sense of the true layout and design of the home and takes the guesswork out of viewing a property. Virtual viewings: the recent introduction of affordable virtual reality headsets has enabled real estate professionals to tap into immersive customer experiences by offering virtual tours which allows buyers to walk through their prospective home without disturbing the current occupants.

Wednesday November 2, 2016
Robotics Week celebrated Across the Queanbeyan network learning community, Ningimurra Robotics Week was celebrated last week, with some special visitors to Cooma. Software engineer Dr Adrian Letchford brought along a team of his friends, some Lego robots. Students from Jindabyne Central School, Berridale Public School and Nimmitabel Public School visited Cooma Public School to participate in the program last week.
Dr Letchford gave the students, ranging from Years 1 to 6, a crash course in programming the robots to do three different tricks. The children enjoyed the challenge of the day, making their robots follow a black line on the map course. They also had to try and write a code to allow the robot to avoid an obstacle on the course (a water bottle) and finally, to find and push a second water bottle outside of a designated area at the end of the course.
SIR WILLIAM HUDSON
MEMORIAL CENTRE AGED CARE FACILITY
Did you pick the winner of the Melbourne Cup? Were you one of the lucky people to draw a horse in our Melbourne Cup competition? Thank you to all of the people who supported our fundraiser by either buying a ticket in the sweepstake, or by volunteering to sell tickets for us. It was our aim to raise $5000 in this year’s Cup fundraiser to enable us to purchase a mobile lifter. As the column was written prior to the final tally of ticket sales, we can only hope that we have been successful in our endeavours. Congratulations to everyone who drew a horse and to the ultimate winner of the $1000, your generosity in buying a ticket is greatly appreciated. Our residents also enjoyed celebrating Melbourne Cup by participating in the sweeps that were run and by having the chance to dress up for Cup Day at the traditional champagne luncheon. We all love a party, and everyone had a great time playing all of the fun games that were based around Cup Day. SWHMC AGM will be held Thursday November 24th at 7.30pm. Please take the time to attend this meeting and be involved in your community owned care facility.
Cooma North robotics success
Each month SWHMC is so blessed to have a team of volunteers that come to the facility to help entertain the residents with their musical skills. Allan Gottaas and Judy Costello are just a couple of the regular volunteers at our facility and we can not possibly thank them enough for the time that they spend with us, and for the enjoyment they bring to everyone. We all love to see you! Our next residents meeting will be held November 24th at 2pm, if you have a family member or friend who is a resident at SWHMC you are more than welcome to attend these monthly meetings.
On Friday, Charlotte Woolf, Ava Ward, Miriam Pearson, Clare Hammill, Flynn Palmer, Dylan Edwards, Sam Woolley and Bowen Thorn attended the Ningimurra Robotics Competition held at Cooma Public School. Jindabyne Central School also attended, and brought four teams to the competition. The challenge was for the students to program their robots to follow a black line around a course in the fastest time, with extra points awarded for avoiding obstacles and moving obstacles out of a set area. The students really enjoyed the day, developing their understanding of robotics further, and they all rose to the challenge and really pushed themselves to succeed. In the competition, Charlotte Woolf and Ava Ward placed first with the fastest time, having succeeded
in earning all the extra points. Flynn Palmer, Dylan Edwards, Sam Woolley and Bowen Thorn placed a close second, also earning all the extra points. Well done everyone!

It’s a non-profit organisation which was started following the passing of nineteen year old Steven Walter after an eight year battle with cancer. The Foundation is involved in raising money for research into childhood cancer and the side effects of cancer treatment in children. All monies raised by the SWCCF goes to childhood cancer research programs and support of children with cancer.

making a DIFFERENCE for CHILDREN with CANCER Steve with his KX80.
“So that one day no other kid will have to go through what I’ve been through” Steven Walter was passionate about many things in life; family, friends, motorbikes and raising money to cure childhood cancer – “So that one day no other kid will have to go through what I’ve been through”. Steven was only nineteen years old when he died after his heroic eight-year fight against cancer in the year 2000. Steve was diagnosed with cancer in his right leg at 11 years of age. He fought bravely through chemotherapy and the removal of a major bone in his leg. Anytime you asked Steve how he was feeling he always answered “I’m okay”. He never complained about how he felt; nothing was ever too hard. All Steve ever wanted was to live a normal life and to ride his bike.
Steven Walter and Motorcycling Steven Walters’ motorbike career started at Sutherland PCYC Mini Bike Club and continued with Oyster Bay Motorcycle Club. Steve’s dad Phil Walter was his biggest fan and supported him at all his events. Steve made many friends through his involvement with motorbikes – he loved the camaraderie that came with riding and competing. Many of these mates and their families are now involved in The Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation and The Snowy Ride. At age 16, Steven Walter entered the Australian Four Day Enduro, finishing the event in silver medal position – an awesome achievement for a young man still on his “L” plates! Following the event he trailered his bike home and returned to Sydney Children’s Hospital to continue treatment. By age 18 the cancer had returned, this time to his hip and spine. Doctors said his bones were too brittle to ride dirt bikes – but they didn’t say anything about road bikes! Steve bought a Honda CBR600 and rode to Melbourne, ferried the bike across Bass Strait and toured around Tasmania for six days before riding home to Sydney. Although still only a teenager when he died, Steve had made a huge impact on so many people. He was a guy that
would never shirk his responsibilities, he would never just stand back and watch, he had to be a participant and it showed in what he was able to achieve in his short life. The Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation – Steve’s Legacy It is because of this extraordinary young man’s determination, his passion for life and love of motorbikes that his family, friends and others have gone on to create The Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation. The Foundation is determined to fulfill Steve’s final wish to raise money for research into childhood cancer “so that one day no other kid will have to go through what I’ve been through”. In 2015/16, Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation has committed a total of $520,288 towards research into a cure for childhood cancer: Sydney Children’s Hospital – $275,000 • Research Fellowship Program • Novel Therapy for high risk & relapsed leukaemia & lymphoma • Hyundai Help for Kids Cancer Research Project Children’s Cancer Foundation (Melbourne) – $245,288 • Monash Children’s Hospital – Clinical Research Assistant • Royal Children’s Hospital/ Murdoch Childrens Research Institute • Hyundai Help for Kids Cancer Research Project
Snowy Hydro proudly supports Snowy Ride 201 We are pleased to support Snowy Ride and the Steven Walter Foundation through the Snowy Hydro Family Program providing a well deserved break for children and their families who are affected by cancer.

Unfortunately the majority of riders pulled up for high speed in the past have not been registered for the Snowy Ride so don’t get to read any of this.

Heavy lambs sell to $145 at Cooma sale Cooma sheep sale was held on October 25 with 1800 sheep and lambs on offer which saw a very strong market. The market was very competitive with all butchers competing strongly on light and heavy sheep. Restockers had a hard time competing with the
butchers and only took home a few pens. Heavy lambs selling to the top of $145.00 and heavy wethers to a top $100.00. The next sale will be held on the Tuesday November 8.
NSW producers planning big investments on-farm The Commonwealth Bank Agri Insights survey shows record proportion of farmers intend to spend more on infrastructure, plant and equipment. Tuesday, 25 October 2016: New research from Commonwealth Bank reveals New South Wales farmers are planning capital improvement on their properties as commodity prices continue to look strong. The latest CommBank Agri Insights survey finds farmers in the state are planning to invest in record numbers in both fixed infrastructure and plant and equipment. Furthermore, the Commonwealth Bank Agri Insights Index for NSW which measures overall investment intentions across the state is 11.4, well up on this time last year when
it was 9.8. Tim Harvey, Acting Executive General Manager, Regional and Agribusiness Banking, Commonwealth Bank, says the survey results reflect optimism in the industry, though he notes that recent flooding may see some farmers reconsider their appetite for investment in the near term. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are the strongest results weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen for infrastructure and equipment investment intentions in New South Wales since Agri Insights was launched in 2014. Although the impact of recent flooding remains to be seen, the strength of these intentions shows that New South Wales farmers are feeling positive about the future, as they direct investment back into
their farms to drive efficiency and productivity,â&#x20AC;? Mr Harvey said. The survey finds 42 per cent of New South Wales farmers intend to increase investment in fixed infrastructure, a 10 percentage point jump from this time last year. At the same time, 29 per cent of farmers in NSW intend to increase investment in plant and equipment compared with 20 per cent this time last year. Most commodity sectors are looking robust, with 14 per cent of beef producers nationally intending to increase production over the year ahead, along with 18 per cent of cotton growers and 14 per cent of lamb producers. While investing more in farm equipment and infrastructure,
New South Wales farmers are also keen to make the most of available technology and production data. According to the research, 76 per cent of farmers in the state say there is significant value in sharing farm data. Of those, 51 per cent see it as a good way to learn from other farmers and 20 per cent see it as a valuable way to benchmark their operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Building the capacity of the sector is a strong motivator for data sharing. Our farmers recognise that a stronger sector is good for everyone, with a lot of value to be gained from comparing production results and learning from each other,â&#x20AC;? Mr Harvey said. Of those who said they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the value of sharing data, 14 per
cent say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do with it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Understanding how to use data is as important as being able to collect it,â&#x20AC;? Mr Harvey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The majority of farmers already recognise the value of sharing production data and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole new area of innovation opening up that will help farmers integrate and interpret all the data theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gathering. This will empower them to make better decisions at farm, regional and commodity sector levels. What we expect to see over the next few years is technology with built in decisioning tools to help farmers really make sense of the data they now have at their fingertips.

Kiwi woolbrokers see how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done on Monaro Monaro Wool Services is playing host to two international visitors this week in moves to strengthen relationships and share knowledge across the wool industry. New Zealand woolbroker, Wright Wool, has sent two of its workers to the Monaro to experience what life is like in the local wool industry. Operating since 1997, Wright Wool services the wider Hawkes Bay farming area. Shane Strachan and Andrew Peters from Wright Wool are immersing themselves in Monaro life before heading to Sydney to take in a wool auction. Mr Strachan, store manager, said the visit presents an opportunity for the company to increase its international contacts, and for the duo to experience how an Australian wool auction differs from a New Zealand auction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to get out of the visit is to make more contacts and build on our existing network,â&#x20AC;? Mr Strachan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deal with Merino wool so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be interesting to look at how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handled.â&#x20AC;? On Monday, Monaro Wool Services manager Ben Litchfield took the pair to a
number of Monaro farms to showcase the region. Both Mr Strachan and Mr Peters have extensive experience in the wool industry, and noted similarities between their workplace and Monaro Wool Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Polo Flat home. The duo will complete their visit by

Seasonal boost for Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sheep industry: Rural Bank High prices and a bumper spring for pasture growth have created a potent mix for a longer term positive outlook for Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sheep industry, according to Rural Bank and Rural Financeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016 Australian Sheep Update. The new report, launched by specialist insights team Ag Answers, provides producers and industry with a concise analysis of the Australian sheep sector. While Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sheep meat production for July 2016 was 20 per cent lower than July 2015, the national trade lamb indicator price is 11 per cent higher than this time last year. Andrew Smith, General Manager Agribusiness for Rural Bank and Rural Finance, said that although prices have begun their seasonal spring price drop, the longer term outlook for the sector is extremely positive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With continued above-average rainfall expected for most of the country right through to the end of the year, we expect strong demand and tight supply to provide support in keeping prices above average as we enter the final quarter of 2016,â&#x20AC;? he said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the widespread wet conditions have affected stock movement, all-in-all the increased rainfall has proved to be much more of a help than a hindrance for Australian sheep producers.â&#x20AC;? With regards to lamb exports, the new report revealed a five percent increase in the volume, but a 1.5 per cent decrease in the total value of lamb exports when compared with the same intervening period in 2015. However, the value of exports to the top five markets has increased, with US demand for Australian lamb continuing to grow strongly. The new report also revealed Australian lamb slaughter and production for the year to August remained similar to the same period in 2015, despite the drop in lamb production levels in May to July 2016. While the drop in production levels is well below the levels seen in the previous years for the same period, heavier carcase weights this spring are expected to partially offset the effect lower slaughter numbers will have on production.

Zealand. Here itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fully computerised,â&#x20AC;? Mr Peters said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our industry is working towards this and our company is at the forefront of these changes. Changes in the industry will be good, at the moment itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an old industry.â&#x20AC;? Mr Litchfield said he was excited to have the pair visit the Monaro and continue strengthening relationships between the two countries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to have them here to observe the local industry and attend auctions. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a crossover of ideas and great networking with New Zealand and local Monaro wool stores,â&#x20AC;? Mr Litchfield said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve a wonderful wool area and this visit helps increase our international profile.â&#x20AC;?

Cecil Brown Scholarship presentation Presentations were made at the Greendale Merinos ram sale for the 2016 Cecil Brown Scholarship. This is the 21st year of the scholarship having started in 1996. The scholarship was established in honour of Cecil Brown a passionate Merino man who worked for many years at Hazeldean. He had a great knowledge of sheep breeding and was always willing to pass that onto the next generation.
The scholarship is open to young Monaro based persons with an interest and passion for agriculture. The scholarship has two parts the first part is an agricultural exchange to the South Island of New Zealand based around the Central Otago, Alexandra, Queenstown and Omarama districts. Every year a person is selected from the Monaro for exchange and this is reciprocated with a person from New Zealand spending
two to three weeks on Monaro properties. The other part of the scholarship provides educational funding for young Monaro people pursing further studies in agriculture. The 2016 New Zealand Exchange was awarded to Bea Litchfield. Bea is the livestock manager at Hazeldean Cooma. Bea will have the opportunity to spend two to three weeks visiting and working on Merino Stations on the South Island of New Zealand.
Greendale principal Mark McGufficke, Louise Fletcher and Sam Green of Elders Cooma.
She will see firsthand what a challenging environment it is and the management practices used. The Education Scholarship for 2016 was awarded to Louise Fletcher. Louise will have financial assistance provided to assist with her studies. She is currently studying a Bachelor of Animal Science Degree at Charles Sturt University Wagga Wagga.

Rainfall prompts cattle virus warning By Rachel Gordon, Livestock Biosecurity Network Regional Manager While livestock producers across many areas of Queensland and NSW have enjoyed significant winter rain, extended wet spells can also bring a rise in Bovine Ephemeral Fever (BEF). This cattle disease, commonly known as Three-Day Sickness, causes serious economic repercussions through loss of condition, decreased weight gain, deaths and reduced fertility in bulls. Cattle with Three-Day Sickness usually have a fever, are stiff from muscle pain and often go down. They sometimes have nasal discharge, drooling

saliva and weeping eyes. Livestock Biosecurity Network (LBN) Regional Manager for NSW Rachel Gordon says the virus that causes Three-Day Sickness is thought to be transmitted between cattle by flying insects such as mosquitoes and biting midges, and these insects become more prevalent after significant rain. “The disease can affect cattle of all ages and is often seen after a prolonged dry spell because of the lack of immunity in a herd. “In very wet years we see the disease spread south as far as Victoria,” Ms Gordon said. Surveillance of livestock is critical – recumbent animals should be provided shelter, food and water and also need to be rolled several times a day, particularly if they are a heavier beast. Lactating cows and bulls should be treated promptly if you suspect Three-Day Sickness. In addition to the clinical signs of Three-Day Sickness, a blood test can identify the presence of the virus and is most successful when samples are collected in the first few days of clinical disease. “I encourage cattle producers to consult their local vet to have a blood sample collected if Three-Day Sickness is suspected in livestock – this will allow for the best treatment and chance of saving stock,” Ms Gordon said. “For cattle older than six months of age, vaccination for Three-Day Sickness is best practice and is required to avoid high-risk and high-value livestock being affected and causing economic losses for producers.” To help protect their livelihood and income, producers are encouraged to complete the Farm Biosecurity Checklist at www.lbn.org.au

FUNERAL NOTICE

The Dalgety District and Community Association and Snowy River Alliance wish to show their respects with the passing of
On Sunday, the Mainstreet Under 12’s Monaro Rep Cricket team played Far South Coast at Nijiong Oval in mild but very windy conditions. Monaro won the toss and elected to bowl to make the most of the best of the conditions before the winds strengthened further into the afternoon. Our opening bowling combination of Callum Bailey and Blake Coulter started strongly, building pressure with tight and economical bowling, often beating the outside edge of the bat and forcing several close LBW appeals. Some great alertness in the field soon sent one of the opening batsmen on his way for a diamond duck thanks to a great throw from Jake Povey and lightning glove work from Hunter Caldwell. The great start continued when Justin McDonald and Thomas King came onto bowl, prompting a middle order collapse that began when Thomas held onto a sharp catch off his own bowling on his way to the impressive figures of 4/8 off his 6 overs. The pressure was unrelenting when Preston Hilless (2/3 off 5 overs) and Jonah Perea (1/7) came onto bowl and Monaro was well on top at 7/36 at the drinks break. We are not sure what the Far South Coast Batsman had in their drink but they showed great determination to add another 48 runs for the last three wickets to be all out for 84 in the 37th over. Monaro was made to work hard for these last three wickets, and it took some great bowling from Charlie Alcock (1/7) and Justin McDonald (1/14) to remove the tail. The catch of the day was made by Jake Povey who took a spectacular catch in the gully, diving forward and taking it inches from the ground. This was a grab that any cricketer would be proud of. Blake also bagged two
catches for the day. After a much deserved lunch break, Monaro took to the field to begin their run chase. Our openers Thomas and Preston settled in quickly and looked to be timing the ball well, however both managed to pick out a fieldsmen and be caught. Unfazed by the early wickets, Justin and Jonah took on the task of steadying the ship, playing watchfully and waiting for the bad ball to put away. By this stage the windy conditions were making batting difficult with plenty of swing from the Far South Coast bowlers. Wickets soon fell and the game looked to be slipping away from Monaro at 5/29, when Callum Bailey to came to the crease. Callum confidently worked the ball around, showing great shot selection on his way to being our top scorer on 16. After another cluster of wickets, the game again looked out of reach; however some stubborn defence from Jake Povey, Tom Rudd and Charlie Alcock kept us in the game. Our chances were again dealt a blow when Charlie was forced to retire hurt after getting a nasty hit in the ribs. At the fall of the 9th wicket, and still requiring 10 runs to win, Charlie dusted himself off, put aside the pain and returned to the crease in an attempt to steer us home. After several overs of tense cricket from both sides, the last wicket fell leaving Monaro stranded on 84 and thus drawing the match. The game was played in Great Spirit, with the parents and coaches from Far South Coast complementing our guys on their great attitude and sportsmanship. We would also like to give a massive thank you to Nathan Thompson for stepping in to Umpire this match at very short notice. The Mainstreet Monaro Under 12’s will take on Shoalhaven at Bateman’s Bay this Sunday.

Mariana Lapargo and Michelle White from Coolamatong won the scratch event.
The incredibly windy conditions on Sunday did not deter a large field from hitting off. The overall winner was Marion Calder from Bermagui who had 90 gross. We from Cooma struggled in the heavier conditions and had too many shots. However, Gaye Wilson won the Nearest The Pin on the 17th with a good straight drive. Coming up: Wednesday November 3 – 9 hole stableford (final round Yvonne’s Trophy), Saturday November 5 – Klein Mixed Trophy (organise a partner); Sunday November 6 – Medley Stableford.

More used to instructing nationally-qualified riders, Peter was happy to offer tips and advice to young riders to help them train their horses and ponies more effectively and gently. Each group felt the benefit of his experience as their horses responded to his instructions.
Bombala bike show
Bombala golf club
The Bombala Bike Show is only a couple of weeks away. Get ready for all things motorcycle there’s only a little over two weeks to go until the Bombala Bike Show roars into town! The local committee has been putting an extra special effort into this year’s 25th show, and on November 19 a big crowd is expected to hit the Bombala Showground for all of the fun and action. There will be hundreds of bikes on show for all to admire, with the Show’n’Shine competition boasting 15 different categories this year. You’ll even have the chance to help choose the Best Bike of the Show, with the winner being determined both by people’s choice and the judges’ votes. When it comes to action there will be stunt shows from Flair Riders, a burn out comp, a brand new motorcycle gymkhana and some great novelty events to get involved in. And considering there will be 46
trade and food stalls lined up on the ground for the day, there’ll be plenty to look at in between. Music will of course be an important part of the Bike Show once again, with South Coast DJs playing from 10am til 3pm, followed by some live musical talent from Renee, Tim and Luke Ingram, while three great bands will be entertaining the troops from 5pm through til midnight. And in the lead up to the big day there’s even a colouring competition for everyone from the littlies to the adults to get into, so grab a stencil through bombalabikeshow@yahoo. com.au or by calling Cheryl on 0418 784 260 and get your entry in by November 10. Excitement is really building for this, the 25th Bombala Bike Show, so check out the website, follow the committee on Facebook, and start getting keen for November 19!

Monaro Equestrian Showjumping Competition this weekend Next weekend, Cooma Showground will again be the venue for Showjumping. The MEA Spring Showjumping competition will host more than 100 riders and their families, some coming from as far afield as the Central Coast, Canberra, The South Coast and Riverina Districts, and others enjoying the staging of this event close to home. Former Olympian and National Course Designer Gavin Chester is coming to Cooma and it will be wonderful to have his services for the weekend to provide riders with challenging and enjoyable courses to ride over the two days. Gavin will be assisted by Canberra local Manual Sant. Riders of all ages and all levels are expected to compete, some excited to complete their first round of cross rails, whilst others will be challenged by the highly technical
and well constructed courses up to 1.35m in height. Judges Brigitte Cross and Phil Reed will officiate for us this year, ensuring a highly professional and well run competition for competitors and spectators alike. A full canteen will be in operation and a coffee van to ensure riders and spectators are not left feeling hungry or thirsty during the day. We are fortunate to have some wonderful local sponsors who have generously donated prizes and money to help make this a showcase event. We are looking forward to providing a quality event for riders and spectators here in Cooma and it would be wonderful to see local families making the most of this free entertainment.
Pictured right are some enticing snaps from last year, reminding us of the action.

Public Service Association (PSA) union representative Tony Heathwood and representatives from the Jindabyne Sport and Recreation Camp met with Member for Monaro John Barilaro last month. The meeting took place to discuss the alleged state government proposal to privatise Sport and Rec Camps. Mr Heathwood said the meeting was overwhelmingly positive and both he and staff were “pleasantly surprised” by Mr Barilaro’s response. “He (John Barilaro) was very supportive of our campaign to have camps remain in government control,” he said. Staff at the facility hold concerns that if the centre is privatised, the quality of the service will suffer, there is a possibility of job cuts, and community groups currently using the facility for at a subsidised cost will be impacted. Mr Barilaro heard the concerns of the PSA and Sport and Rec staff members and said he will voicing their issues to his parliamentary colleagues. “Sport and Recreation centres are an important part of our community and I am passionate about seeing them continue in their current form and supporting them to grow and thrive. I recently met with the PSA and Sport and Rec staff to discuss their concerns over the current Sport and Rec review. I will be voicing their concerns with my Parliamentary colleagues as well as putting forward my own views on the significant role that Sport and Recreation centres should play in our community in the future,” he said. The Minister for Sport Stuart Ayres said that The NSW Office of Sport is carrying out market testing to investigate how services at Sport and Recreation centres can be improved for school, sporting and community groups. “The market testing is focused on options that aim to modernise activities, facilities and increase utilisation. “Investigations will be completed by the end of this year. Sport and Recreation centres are available to all community members in NSW and will continue to be so. “The Government will retain ownership of all Sport and Recreation centres,” he said. The PSA will continue to campaign for signatures with 10,000 needed to get the issue voted for on the floor. “We are hoping the recommendation will come back to leave the camps as the status quo,” Mr Heathwood said.

Mixed bag for bowlers at Cooma bowling club
Wednesday bowlers were happy to welcome former member Nelson Wallace and new member Bill Brown. Nelson joined Peter Harris and Bob Lahy while Bill joined up with Ken Rees and Geoff Venables, Play went along at a steady pace without either team gaining a winning lead. This all changed on end 17 when Bill, Ken and Geoff scored six shots to lead 17/13 and came home strongly to win 25/14. Max Butler, Mick Mayhew and Renate Winckel were just in front 12/9 on 12 against Max Povey, Judy Locker and Mike Mannile. Six shots next end put them in front 18/9. Two ends later it was almost â&#x20AC;&#x153;any thing you can doâ&#x20AC;? when Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team scored five shots and it was game on. Renateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team shared the points in the closing ends to win 25/20. Innes Rees, Mario Frezza and Olga Jebbink decided they would take no prisoners against Allan Crowe, Mary Phillips and Denis Steinfort and set up a 15/4 lead on end 11. Allan, Mary and Denis only scored once more to give Innes, Mario and Olga a convincing 28/6 win. Ron Wainwright and Leonie Snell kept in touch with Mary Murphy and Paul Cannell till end 11 to trail 9/11. Sixteen shots to eight in favour of Mary and Paul gave them a 27/17 win. All matches on Saturday were decided by two shots or less although they did not start out that way. John Vincent, Giulio Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amico and Paul Schulz had a 13/6 lead over Jack Sajina, Ross Russell and Mel Storta on end 12. A four and a three on ends 13 and 14 for Melâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
team brought the scores level for the first of four occasions including the last end. Both teams at some stage had the lead but it was Jack, Ross and Mel who gained two shots on the final end to put them in to the semi-final 25/23 where they will play Peter Marsicano, Tony Gray and Paul Cannell. Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social bowls followed a similar pattern to the triples with Mick Mayhew, Olga Jebbink and Geoff Venables getting an early lead on Daphne Buckley, Richard Nichols and Paul Cannell. Scores were level 6/6 when Geoffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team skipped out to lead 15/6 on 12. Helped by five shots on 20, Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team was only able to gain one shot on the last end to go down 19/20. Dawn Russell, Mario Frezza and Margherita Zasso had a great battle for the first few ends against Max Butler, Renate Winckel and Denis Steinfort but with six shots on end nine the game swung in their favour. Max, Renate and Denis fought back to trail by one shot on 18 only to drop five shots on 19, to which Max, Renate and Denis replied with five on 20. Dawn, Mario and Margherita eventually won 23/21. Sunday morning saw the start of the District Mixed Pairs, the first event of the year in the new Snowy Mountains Bowling Association Calender. Judy Locker and Allan Crowe made a shaky start against Jenny Smith and Mick Faulder and trailed all the way till end 20 where they scored four shots to draw even then two on the last end to win 19/17. Olga Jebbink and Mike Mannile were cruising
at 18/9 against Ron Wainwright and Leonie Snell on 16. Ron and Leonie stormed home, winning the next five ends for 11 shots and victory 20/18. Mary Murphy and Paul Cannell were kept honest for eight ends against Renate Winckel and Ken Rees then ran away with the match 28/19. Mario Frezza and Margherita Zasso scored two shots on the first end against Del and David Turner and did not score again until end eight, Del and David had set up a great 12/2 lead by then and went on to win 22/17. So the stage was set for the afternoon matches that would decide the semi-finalists. Barbara Johnson and Vic Weston made a good start against Ron Wainwright and Leonie Snell but dropped four shots on 13 to have the score locked up 10/10. Although they were level once again on 17, it was Ron and Leonie who finished strongly to win 22/16. Lana Theobald and John Ruzic struck the in-form family team of Del and David Turner and were trailing 2/11 on eight. Each team scored 11 shots in the run home for Del and David to advance to the semifinal 22/13. Maureen and Giulio Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amico were pushed all the way by Judy Locker and Allan Crowe with scores 9/9 on 11. Some high scoring by both teams over the next five ends had the match slightly in favour of Maureen and Giulio who eventually won 21/19. Mary Phillips and Peter Marsicano were level 9/9 with Mary Murphy and Paul Cannell at the half way point. Five shots on 12 to Mary and Paul put them on the way to victory 29/16, which

Cooma Golf Club news Last weekend saw the successful hosting of the Cooma Automotive Group sponsored 2016 Cooma Open with the 4BBB Championship played on Saturday and the Open Scratch Championship played on Sunday attracting good fields on both days despite the dodgy weather. The Scratch winners of the 4BBB Championship were Steve Young and Brian Searl with 43 and the runners up were Mark Rainsford and Jim Caldwell with 36. The Nett competition was won by Mark Van Ommen and Nick Massari with 49 points from runners up Terry Johnston and Tony Clibborn with 47 points on a count back from John Harris and Geoff Bohringer. The Cooma Open Scratch Championship winner was Mark Hyde from Federal Golf Club who shot 75 in the cyclonic conditions.
The scratch winners of the various grades were A Grade, Sam Patricks with 80, B Grade, Ross Thompson from Coolamatong with 86, C Grade, Bruce Foote from Wakehurst Golf Club with 93 and the Veterans was won by Norm Marshall with 83. The nett winners were Brian Searl who won A Grade with 72 nett, Tony Perry who won B Grade with 69 nett, Wayne Cochran from Fairbairn Golf Club who won C Grade with 74 nett on a count back, and the Veterans was won by Nick Massari with 71 nett.

The unluckiest players were
Gordon Weston and Dieter Seubert who both shot 42 points, well better than their handicaps and only took home a ball. This was the second time in a week that Dieter had been pipped by a great round. Other ball winners were John Harris (38 points) Tony Monday (37), Jeff Burgess (37), Lindsay Blewitt (37), Carolyn O’Byrne (37) and Marty Gelling (making the most of his flexi day with 35).

Coffey’s win nailbiter against Berridale It came down to the last over in the game to decide the winner between Coffey’s and Berridale in the latest round of the Monaro District Cricket Association. Coffey’s sealed a memorable victory at Rotary Oval with the winning runs coming on the third-last ball of the game. Batting first, Berridale took full advantage of some wayward bowling and a quick outfield to post 216. Ben Hearn built a nice platform for his side as he hit 51, before Andrew O’Keefe guided his side with 66 not out. Jack Parkyn smacked 47 as Berridale posted a more than competitive total. Chasing 217 for victory, Coffey’s were in early trouble at 3/16 after Berridale’s opening bowlers of Jack Parkyn and James Cahill picked up quick wickets. With a daunting run chase confronting the Coffey’s middle order, Steve Summerville and Nathan Thompson set about reducing
the 200 runs left for victory. Summerville was dismissed for 21 before another wicket had Coffey’s struggling at 5/97. A 95 run stand between Thompson and Marcus Caldwell had the game evenly poised with Coffey’s requiring 70 runs from the last 10 overs. Caldwell was caught in the deep for 38, and with the dismissal Coffey’s still needed about 30 runs to win. Dale Cook (filling in) entered the fold and kept the run rate ticking over. With 11 runs needed for victory Thompson was bowled for 93, leaving Astin Nunan and Cook to get Coffey’s over the line. Replacing the valiant Coffey’s faithful Nick Moon as captain, Thompson did a stellar job guiding his team to victory and fans will be eager to see what this return to form means for the remainder of the season. Best of the Coffey’s bowlers was Astin Nunan who finished his nine overs 3/36.
Archie Allen, filling in from Peak View Jerangle, bowled a very economical spell, only going for 16 runs from his six over stint. Under 14s player Jake Quodling bowled and fielded well for Coffey’s. With both sides missing a number of regular players, the game was the closest of the season so far. Aussie vs Dalgety at Snowy It was the grand final replay and another very tight game it was. Dalgety won the toss and elected to bat and were immediately under pressure from some very tight bowling by Harry Sidhu (2/10) and Tim Wall (3/6). With Dalgety 3/9 after 7 overs Lachlan Jones (35) came to the crease with L. Treadwell (30) and steadied the innings looking to turn the momentum back in their favour.

Dalgety went to drinks at 3/48. After drinks some great spin bowling from Damien Azzo (2/25) and tight bowling from the other end saw Dalgety struggle to lift the run rate. Aron Rogers (25*) saw the Dalgety innings through and they ended 8/119 from their 45 overs The Aussie Hotel innings started well but was slowed down by a few quick wickets from M. Crawley (3/27). H. Sidhu (20) came in and tried to steady the innings but the Aussie Hotel middle order was looking very shaky losing a wicket every few overs and went to drinks at 6/78. With pressure mounting in the chase, enter D. Porter (26*) who played some very classy cricket shots and took the game away from Dalgety quite quickly. Aussie Hotel 7/121 from 30 overs running out winners by three wickets.

Cooma Car Club headquarters officially opened Last Saturday evening, the home of the Cooma Monaro Historic Automobile Club (Cooma Car Club) was officially opened by life member Keith Montague. In celebration, the club also received a $50,000 cheque from the Snowy Monaro Regional Council. The opening was the conclusion of many years’ hard work and dedication from a motivated group of car enthusiasts. MC for the evening, Peter Longhurst, gave an abridged history of the club: “To start we need to visit some of the motor vehicle history to understand how the car club has arrived at today. “The first motor vehicle to arrive in Cooma was an Alldays and Onions in 1908. A photo of this vehicle is displayed inside. “There is a listed detail of 28 cars in Cooma in 1917 with the first motorised funeral hearse in 1912. “The first competitive hill climb was sponsored by the Presbyterian Church in 1913. We assume it ran from the Cooma Back Creek to where Flynn’s wrecking yard is today and on to the 4 mile. “Car clubs started to appear during the 1950 and 1960’s. The SMHEA employees had the Mutual Aid Club for servicing and repairs of member’s cars. “A group of like minded members interested in restoring Vintage cars (rag top wood wheel spokes) attended the local TAFE College to learn the skills required for the restorations. “The Cooma Citizens Car Club operated during the late 1950’s into 1960’s. This was a successful rally club that hosted a round of the NSW Rally Championships and when Councils across NSW closed their roads to local clubs this Club folded. “In 1969 the Cooma Auto Racing Club was formed mainly with members from the Citizens Car Club. This club promoted dirt track stock car racing and built the Alpine Speedway on Mittagang Road. The members bought up cars from the early 50s and 60’s and striped them
down to bare bones, welded up the doors and went racing at Moruya Canberra, Cowra and Cooma. As time progressed, speedways and cars became more commercial and the number of local clubs declined. “The next stage of development was the formation of the Monaro Chapter of the Classic and Historic Automobile Club of Australia which was based in Melbourne. The charter of this club ironically was the restoration and preservation of vehicles of the vintage that had been stripped down and used as stock cars. “NSW RTA adopted a proposal for a classification of historic vehicles to be registered in NSW and this prompted the Monaro Chapter of the CHACA to form a separate club in Cooma and the first club meeting was held in April 1999 at the Australian Hotel. Soon after the club meetings were moved to the Royal Hotel. “Various names were discussed for the new club and in June 2002 the name Cooma Monaro Historic Automobile Club was adopted and the Club was incorporated. “In October 2002 there was the first discussion in relation to obtaining club premises and a building fund with $100 was established in September 2003. “In July 2006 it was moved that a small committee be formed to investigate possibilities of land. It took to February 2007 to be implemented and this was the year that the club moved to the Cooma Bowling Club as they had out grown the facilities at the Royal Hotel after nine years. “However purchase of land or a tin shed seem out of bounds with no fewer than four sites investigated. In 2009 this site came on to the market and the club advised the CMSC that they would obtain a lease if the Council purchased the building but they declined the purchase. So in November 2009 a decision to purchase the present building was made and to seek a bank loan. “In December 2009 a deposit was paid with settlement in January 2010 with the first meeting in the building on 31st March that year.

“The original complex was the initiative of a local citizen and was a gymnasium and indoor cricket. Massive fundraising was necessary and included debentures being offered to members. The first work on the building was in the front section being the gym with two amenity blocks, they were removed and replaced and a bar and commercial kitchen installed to be able to lease out this section to provide some income and meeting space. “The downstairs section was just a tin shed and working bees commenced to strip it out and to line and insulate the walls and ceiling. A grant from Destinations NSW an initiative of the NSW Government to improve bed nights in local areas was obtained for the purchase of the materials and club members providing the labour. This area is to be set up as a museum display for member’s vehicles. The additional bed nights have been established by the number of events that the Club runs and brings people into town. “That original seed money of $100 back in 2003 has paid off with the final payment on the loan being made in 2015 “Classic Cars and motor cycles are the
