Stanley is a very intelligent boy who comes immediately when called off leash, was easily house trained, is eager to please his handlers and is very energetic. He would make a wonderful pet for an active family or individual. He would be best placed where there is another young dog who will play with him for a good part of the day or on a hobby farm situation where he could be trained for some work but his main function would be a house pet.

Several skiers and snowboarders were stuck on a Perisher chairlift for over an hour on Saturday 25 June. The Terminal Quad Chair at Blue Cow had a technical malfunction leading to riders having to be rescued from the chairs. Witness accounts described a cable hanging low, with some chairs slamming into rocks that would usually have been cleared by about three metres. No injuries were reported however people in these particular chairs had to shout to get the lift to stop as they were among trees

Bellwether seat no more? Police kept busy The Eden-Monaro electorate has most likely lost the bellwether status it has enjoyed since 1972, with the loss of the seat from Liberal member Peter Hendy to Labor’s Mike Kelly. Dr Kelly held the seat for two terms from 2007 until 2013, when he was defeated by Dr Hendy. However, Saturday’s election saw a 6.44 percent swing against Dr Hendy, giving the seat back to Dr Kelly and probably removing the bellwether status in the process. But, at time of going to print, there was no clear-cut national result for the House of Representatives and the Senate result was anyone’s guess. As of Tuesday morning, the Australian Labor Party had secured 71 seats, and the Liberal Part 67, with 11 seats still undecided. Both parties were battling to secure enough support to govern, but a result is still days if not weeks away. Looking at the results from each polling station (excluding hospital polling places), Dr Hendy topped to poll in 40 booths, compared with Mike Kelly’s 37. The redistribution within the electorate, which removed Bateman’s Bay and added Tumut and Tumbarumba played into Dr Kelly’s favour and he also scored a knockout at the eight Queanbeyan

polling booths. Most booths across the Monaro stuck with Dr Hendy, but many of the coastal centres supported Labor. Several of the pre-polling booths supported the Liberal Party. The Monaro Post has made several attempts to contact Dr Kelly for comment on the election, but at time of going to press, had been unsuccessful. The vote count, in ballot paper order was: Daniel Grosmaire Independent 1435 Ursula Bennett Christian Democrats 1458 Don Friend Veterans Party 1189 Ray Buckley Independent 677 Peter Hendy Liberals 32353 Tamara Ryan The Greens 5714 Frankie Seymour Animal Justice Party 1630 Andrew Thaler Independent 838 Mike Kelly Labor 34229 Informal votes 5440 Swing – 6.44 percent to Labor Total votes 84,963

Hendy ‘retained integrity’ Defeated Liberal member, Peter hnedy, has issued the following statement on his election performance. “It would appear that we have fallen short of the votes required to retain Eden-Monaro. “For the past three years I’ve been very honoured to represent the people of Eden-Monaro, in our Parliament. “I’m very proud to have delivered better infrastructure and services across the electorate, including improved mobile phone

A 33-year-old male has been arrested and charged following an assault occurring at the Banjo Paterson Inn in Jindabyne. Police were called to the premises at 11.50pm on Friday June 30. After viewing the CCTV footage, police stated that the altercation was between the 33-year-old and a 23-year-old also from Queensland. The disagreement allegedly started over a female, with the 33-year-old lurching forward, head butting the 23-year-old causing

his nose to bleed. Police arrested the 33-year-old shortly after the assault when spotted walking along Thredbo Terrace near the ambulance station. He has been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and will appear in Cooma Court on August 18. Employees of Repco arrived at the store on Saturday morning to find the Commissioner Street shop had been broken in to. Two 10 litre bottles of engine oil were all that were stolen from the shop, after thieves kicked in the front door. Rural Fire Services attended three small grass fires over the weekend. On Saturday, there was one at Michelago and another at Rocky Plain, with the third starting on Sunday at Rosemeath near Bombala. Cooma’s NSW Fire and Rescue team attended a chimney fire at a house in Cooma on Friday afternoon. Station Commander Chris Reeks would like to remind the public of the importance of cleaning flus in their homes to prevent house fires. NSW Fire and Rescue also attended a fuel spill near the Swiss Motel in Cooma on Sunday, which they quickly cleaned up.

Cold snap prompts firies to warn: Birdsnest is an example keep ash out of trash

As record low temperatures continue to bite NSW, Fire & Rescue NSW (FRNSW) firefighters are warning householders to take every precaution in disposing of ash from fireplaces and other wood- fuelled heaters to avoid a potential home fire. The warning comes after a fire damaged the top floor of a twostorey house at Hawks Nest on June 26. The home’s occupants had cleaned out a fireplace and, believing the ashes were cold, placed them in a wheelie bin for disposal. The bin contents ignited and the fire spread up an external wall and into the top level of the home through an open window. “With the recent cold snap across NSW, people are lighting up the fireplace and other woodfuelled heaters and cooking appliances,” FRNSW Community Engagement Unit manager,

Superintendent Mick Ollerenshaw, said. “Householders need to be mindful that ash can retain heat for a long period of time after the fire has been put out. “When disposing of ash from fireplaces and other wood-fuelled heaters or cooking appliances, ensure it has cooled completely and consider dampening it down to ensure it has been completely extinguished. “Also try to avoid disposing of ash in waste bins. Consider a garden bed or another safe outdoor location for disposal. Another tip is to make sure your fireplace chimney is clean and it’s properly ventilated.” With this year being the 10th anniversary of the introduction of smoke alarm legislation, firefighters are also reminding NSW residents it is time to

ReAlarm your home by replacing your smoke alarms. “This year we’re encouraging residents to replace their outdated alarms with the latest photoelectric smoke alarms, which provide earlier detection and fewer false alarms,” Superintendent Ollerenshaw said. More firefighter home fire safety tips: • Keep clothing and other flammable materials at least one metre from your heater • Clean out the clothes dryer filter after every load • Don’t overload your powerboards • Never use wheat bags in bed • Ensure you have a working photoelectric smoke alarm and a practised home escape plan • If a fire does occur, get out, stay out and call Triple Zero (000)

The highly-skilled teachers in their child’s primary school classroom? Educated at a university. The doctor who treats their elderly parent? Educated at a university.

Universities Australia – the peak body for Australian universities – launched its newly branded Keep It Clever advertising campaign last month. The campaign aims to highlight the essential role of universities in developing Australia’s future potential. The next stage of the campaign, to be rolled out in July, will feature a number of examples where university research or graduates have helped the community, created new jobs and new industries, particularly in regional Australia. Universities Australia Chair Professor Barney Glover said the Keep it Clever campaign was about highlighting the university graduates and researchers that were responsible for amazing inventions and breakthroughs. “Many Australians would know that Australia’s university researchers and graduates were responsible for inventions such as the Cochlear implant, and that they contributed to the development of Wifi at CSIRO, the realisation of the ground-breaking

Boco Rock community funds presented at Bombala A number of representatives from community groups throughout the Bombala district gathered in the Council Chambers last week to formally accept grants from the Boco Rock Community Fund. The Council received nine applications under round three of the grant program, with the Community Fund committee meeting to discuss the projects and resolving to fully fund requests in all of the applications. Chair of the Snowy Monaro Regional Council Local Representative Committee, Steve Goodyer made the presentation on Monday, June 27. “We have already seen from these grants a number of worthwhile community projects undertaken,� Mr Goodyer said. “In total the third round of funding will see a massive $73,398 flowing to our community groups to assist in completion of projects valued at

$151,780. “Council is extremely pleased to see the benefits of the Boco Rock Wind Farm in our local community and looks forward to working in partnership with CWP Renewables for many years to come.� Attending the presentation was Mark Wiggins of CWPR, as well as representatives from EGCO, the Thailand based company which funded the wind farm development. The Bombala district round three Boco Rock Community Fund grant recipients were * Bombala and District Historic Engine Society: $20,000 for the construction of an additional shed to house restored engines. * Delegate S p o r t s g r o u n d Committee: $9,818 for the purchase of equipment to assist with maintenance of the community recreational/ neighbourhood safer place facility. * Creewah Bush Fire

Brigade: $1,975 for the purchase of a split cycle heater for the community meeting room. * Bombala Golf Club: $7,408 for the purchase of equipment to assist with maintenance of the recreational venue. * Delegate School of Arts: $5,500 for an Indigenous mural interpreting the Bundian Way. * Bombala and District Netball Association: $12,685 for upgrade to the community owned recreational facility. * Bombala Exhibition Ground Management Committee: $4,040 for stormwater drainage at the community recreational facility. * Delegate Progress Association: $6,615 for purchase of equipment (kiln) for the community run Arts Centre at Delegate. * Bombala and District Historical Society: $5,357 for covers to protect old newspapers documenting the history of the area.

Section 355 Committees to continue under new council Snowy Monaro Regional Council has confirmed that all existing Section 355 Committees throughout the newly formed council area will continue to operate. Administrator Dean Lynch said, “The topic of Council committees was sensitive and there have been enquiries about their future following the merger announcement�. Council resolved to retain all Section 355 Committees until the Local Government elections are held in September next year. The newly elected Councillors then review the number of committees and their structure to ensure that a best practice model is in place to best service the community. “Section 355 Committees are the backbone of the community. They are an important mechanism for council to look after many of the community assets. The

recommendations from these committees provide input to Council’s strategy, policy and management which enable the organisation to continue to operate in an effective manner.� Public participation in Council matters is important and encouraged, to that end Council will ensure that their Local Representative Committees (LRCs) members will have representatives sit on each of the s355 Committees. “I want to recognise and thank all volunteers serving on the s355 Committees who do not necessarily have the time, but have the heart to go out and make a difference to our community. I look forward to working with a number of these committees to address matters that are important throughout our community,� said Mr Lynch.

Antje is health Leader of the Year

Everybody’s doing it...

Council Catch Up

Our Local Representative Committees are in the process of coming together in their individual groups to discuss appointments to Section 355 Committees and other important issues that are arising in their areas. I would like to remind all community members that your LRC members are an advisory group to raise matters with me on behalf of you, so please feel free to approach them with any concerns or issues that you may have. Please call any office for their contact details.

On Friday 1 July 2016, I had the pleasure of travelling around the region to give funding to various community groups. The Nimmitabel Bell was the first stop in which we presented $10,000. The Bell is a great asset to Nimmitabel, so it was great to see some community members in attendance. We then progressed on to the Cooma Creek at the Southern Cloud memorial. Council applied for funding from the NSW Environmental Trust under the Restoration and Rehabilitation grant and successfully received $99,806. This money will be used to improve water quality and habitat value within the Cooma waterways for the community, riparian and aquatic wildlife and increase growth of native vegetation. There is a large amount of large woody weeds (willows, poplars) within our Cooma Back Creek which will be removed as part of this funding and replaced with native riparian plantings to build on the wonderful revegetation work already undertaken by the Cooma Lions Club. SMEC have also undertaken stabilisation rock work within this section of Cooma Back Creek, the result being established aquatic vegetation in-stream and reduced sedimentation in the system. There is still a great deal of work to be done; however, with input from these community groups the workload has been significantly lessened. We then visited the Monaro Equestrian Club and presented them with $2,750 for installation of a new PA system. This donation will benefit them significantly for their events in the future. The official Berridale Memorial unveiling ceremony occurred on Friday. This memorial honours more than 280 Berridale and Dalgety citizens who served in various wars, from the Boer War to the Vietnam War. LRC member John Cahill opened the ceremony with Jayne Robinson. John Barilaro also attended this opening. Dean Lynch Administrator

Cooma hospital manager Antje Badger has been named Leader of the Year at the recent Southern NSW Local Health District (LHD) Quality Awards. Cooma hospital had three entries make it through to the finals of the sixth annual awards at the Bega Valley Commemorative Civic Centre on June 29. The nomination for leader of the year called for data and evidence as to why Antje is an inspiring leader. Throughout her time at Cooma hospital Antje has been involved in a variety of projects designed to improve services and staff capabilities. Projects that contributed to Antje receiving the award included the Fundamentals of Care project, the creation of the Cooma Rural Clinical School through collaborative partnerships with Charles Sturt University and the University of Wollongong, and her contribution to positive ward culture. Antje says she values working in a team environment and praised the work of Cooma hospital staff, saying it is an easy group to lead.

“I naturally like working in a team, so I foster teamwork around projects which is evidenced by the successes we’ve had with multi-disciplinary projects. “I’m really proud of the team here. People here work really hard and they are a caring group. “We have a group of highly skilled staff which makes it easy to lead here, because people are engaged. “Cooma hospital has a lot of opportunity for staff development and people are keen to learn, grow and develop new knowledge and skills,” she said. Antje encourages staff to build skills and capabilities to maintain a range of services, which she says is important in a regional area as it allows the hospital to look after people in their own community. Antje said she was honoured to receive the award and to have been acknowledged for her efforts, but emphasised the importance of the quality staff in all of her success. “I’m humbled and honoured to have received such a prestigious award and I would like to acknowledge the staffs

contribution to the achievement. “I could not have achieved what I have done without the staff who support and contribute consistently. “I see my role has setting goals and vision but when staff have good ideas for supporting our goals,

it’s up to me to facilitate that. “I try to always listen to the staff because they have so much knowledge and they are the experts. “I want to thank the staff for their awesome efforts. Cooma is one of the nicest hospitals I have worked in.”

The award ceremony last week had 120 guests in attendance, who enjoyed a presentation by the guest speaker Dr Lynne Maher, Ko Awatea Director of Innovation, and celebrated the achievements of all those nominated for awards.

New Berridale War Memorial unveiled

A catafalque party from the Australian Defence Force’s Federation Guard added to the ceremony’s significance and presentation.

The ode was read by RSL Sub-branch member Jim Crocker.

RSL Sub-Branch president Ian ‘Ruffy’ Graham read the prayer or remembrance.

Member for Monaro John Barilaro laid the first wreath.

Lee Taylor-Friend read her poem “A Plaque on the Wall�.

About 100 people attended a special ceremony in Berridale last Friday. Over the past three years or more, the Snowy River SubBranch of the RSL has been working to redress certain anomalies and omissions on the Berridale Cenotaph. The task is now complete and last Friday, the new Memorial was unveiled in Park Street, Berridale. With the assistance of a grant from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs and contributions in kind by the former Snowy River Shire Council, and local volunteers, a large rock has been positioned in Park Street and Honour Rolls containing the names of more than 280 Berridale/Dalgety citizens who, over a period of more than 115 years,

served in the Boer War, World War One, World War Two and Vietnam have been mounted, including 26 who paid the Supreme Sacrifice. The task has been somewhat exhaustive and involved the early engagement with local historical societies and other community organisations. The Memorial was unveiled jointly by Mr John Cahill and Mrs Jayne Robinson. Mr Cahill, the former Snowy River Shire Council Mayor, was the principal community leader during the Memorial’s development and installation. Mrs Robinson is the daughter of the late Kevin Clarke of “Killara� Berridale, who undertook much of the original research that made the Memorial

possible. Member for Monaro, John Barilaro, Minister for Regional Development, Skills and Small Business, participated by laying the central wreath in memory of the fallen. Local poet Lee TaylorFriend, read a poem she had composed for the occasion, “A Plaque on the Wall�. The Prayer of Remembrance was read by Snowy River RSL Sub-Branch President, Ian ‘Ruffy’ Graham. The Ode was read by RSL member Jim Crocker.

Local paramedics in campaign for fair cover for injury paramedic who cannot work as a paramedic again. It represents a loss of $393,420 on the current award. By comparison, the award covering police officers equates to seven years pay, plus retraining. In the case of a paramedic being unable to work in any occupation again, the same rate applies, two years pay or $123,487. This is a reduction of $576,148 on the existing award, for a 35-year-old paramedic. Local spokesman for the Health Service Union Phil Brown, said paramedics are working virtually unprotected. He said his colleagues are simply seeking parity with the level of cover they had and is currently provided to NSW Police. He said paramedics don’t want to be injured and have to access the protection scheme.

scheme that provided both for death and injury that was comparable to schemes other emergency service workers already had been receiving. The Death and Disability Scheme came in as part of general productivity and wage bargaining. At the time, government agreed to pay 3.6 percent of salaries towards the scheme with a 1.8 percent co-payment by paramedics. Mr Brown said paramedics are health professionals who provide rapid response, emergency medical assessment, treatment and care in the out-of-hospital environment. These responses are in uncontrolled situations and in all climatic conditions. The nature of the work often requires heavy lifting in confined spaces in awkward situations, which increases the risk of manual handling injuries. “We are put at risk in highly emotionallycharged scenarios often where drugs, alcohol and violence have played a significant role. We are there to support the victims and provide life saving care and medical support to the community. “This means many of us either can’t find an insurer who will cover us or the cost of premiums are prohibitive.� NSW has one of the lowest paramedic to community ratios, coupled with one of the highest utilisation rates in Australia., “We believe this under-resourcing of

What they want: Paramedics want temporary extra funding to be made available to the incoming scheme to provide for similar cover to that the police currently receive. They want the government to work with paramedics to reduce the injury rate and decrease the need for the D & D scheme, which will help drive down the cost of protection. This has worked in NSW Police. Paramedics are seeking help to ensure the NSW Government provides adequate protection for frontline emergency responders.

Unprotected. Cooma Paramedics Paul Beaver and Phil Brown just want parity with our emergency service groups for death and disability cover. Right: There are more modern, safer chairs available, which would reduce the risk of injury to paramedics.

paramedics directly correlates to NSW paramedics having the highest injury rates in Australia. “NSW paramedics respond to approximately 1 million cases per year, any of which can lead to a career-ending injury. The national injury rates for paramedics is 157 per 1000 and unfortunately, NSW tops the charts with 204 per 1000 – that is one in five paramedics will be injured on the job. The new scheme will see an over 80 percent reduction in the benefits for paramedics who sustain a career-ending injury. Paramedics are not seeking a pay rise.

Water sharing plans commence across NSW The commencement of 28 water sharing plans across NSW today will protect water sources, manage water extraction and facilitate trading, providing security and increased business opportunities for farming communities, Deputy Director-General DPI Water, Gavin Hanlon, announced. “Improved water security for agriculture, future needs and river health will be provided by the 28 new, replacement and amalgamated water sharing plans commencing today,” said Mr Hanlon. “Ten new water sharing plans for major coastal systems, together with a combination of 18 replacement and amalgamated plans across NSW will provide water users with greater confidence in long-term water security, access and trading. “These plans are a result of a review into 31 water sharing plans that commenced in 2004, together with new plans developed as part of the program to have all water sources in NSW covered by a water sharing plan. “The commencement of these plans today leaves only two remaining coastal water sharing plans to be made before we achieve our goal of state-wide coverage. Mr Hanlon said for inland water users in the Murray-Darling Basin, these plans will provide certainty and security as the new water resource plans are developed to cover all major river and groundwater in the MurrayDarling Basin over the next few years. “Water resource plans will be a key component of NSW’s implementation of the Commonwealth Basin Plan 2012, at both a local and Basin-wide level. “The water resource plans will build on existing State water planning arrangements and will be developed in close consultation with key stakeholders. “All water licence holders affected by these water sharing plans will shortly receive information on what the plans mean to their respective activities for accessing water,” Mr Hanlon said. Water sharing plans commencing on 1 July 2016 include: • Clyde Unregulated and Alluvial • Deua Unregulated and Alluvial • Snowy Genoa Unregulated • South Coast Groundwater • Tuross Unregulated and Alluvial -

incorporating Wandella Creek • Clarence Unregulated and Alluvial incorporating Dorrigo Plateau Surface Water • Macleay Unregulated and Alluvial incorporating Apsley River, Toorumbee River, Commissioners Waters • Brunswick Unregulated and Alluvial - incorporating Upper Brunswick River • North Coast Coastal Sands - incorporating Tomago Tomaree Stockton Groundwater, Stuarts Point • North Coast Fractured and Porous Rock - incorporating Kulnura Mangrove Mountain, Dorrigo Groundwater, Alstonville Groundwater • Lower North Coast Unregulated and Alluvial - incorporating Karuah River • Central Coast Unregulated incorporating Ourimbah Creek and Jilliby Jilliby Creek • Hunter Unregulated and Alluvial incorporating Wybong Creek • Greater Metropolitan Unregulated incorporating Kangaroo River • Richmond River Area Unregulated and Alluvial - Incorporating Coopers Creek • Hunter Regulated River • Gwydir Regulated • Upper and Lower Namoi Regulated • Macquarie Regulated River • Lachlan Regulated River • Murrumbidgee Regulated River • Murray Lower Darling Regulated River • Castlereagh Unregulated incorporating Castlereagh (above Binnaway) • NSW Border Rivers Unregulated and Alluvial - incorporating Tenterfield Creek • Gwydir Unregulated and Alluvial - incorporating Rocky Creek , Cobbadah, Upper Horton and Lower Horton • Namoi Unregulated and Alluvial - incorporating Phillips Creek, Mooki River, Quirindi Creek and Warrah Creek • Lachlan Unregulated and Alluvial incorporating Mandagery Creek • Murrumbidgee Unregulated and Alluvial incorporating Adelong Creek, Tarcutta Creek, Upper Billabong Copies of all 2016 water sharing plans and supporting documentation can be obtained from the DPI Water website – www.water.nsw.gov.au

Adaminaby’s budding artists The annual Adaminaby Public School Artaminaby show was held last week, with many wonderful pieces created by the students. The works were a collection of student’s creative efforts produced over the year. There were displays from all students. The highlights were bonsai pots, which the students had hand handcrafted from clay. They were fired in the school’s own kiln and the students were shown how to then trim the bonsai plants. Another favourite of the crowd were the handmade clocks that

students had made during their weekly woodwork sessions. The show was well supported by the local community and most works were up for silent auction, with money raised from the event going towards the school’s upcoming production of Disney’s The Lion King, which will hit the stage in term 4. Pictured: Year 4 students Clyde Maguire and Jack Lucas proud of the display of work. Far right: School leaders Tabitha Clarke and Megan Carter ready to welcome visitors to the show.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst I think I must be the only person I know who has no idea what Game of Thrones is. Well maybe there’s one or two others but basically, I am in the dark on this one so I haven’t the foggiest as to why it’s possibly the most illegally downloaded thingy around because it is only available via one source apparently and I’m not even sure what that is either. Daughter and Son-in-law are hooked on this phenomenon though and on occasion have attempted to fill me in via breathless exclamations over how great it is, which hasn’t really told me all that much so I’m still in the dark. I’m fairly certain however that it’s not a computer game. From what I can understand, it is some sort of ongoing serial because it has seasons, but the time between seasons airing must be too long for avid fans because they fall into a mope during the off-seasons and feverishly speculate over when the next one will kick off. Well some people have that very same reaction over seasonal breaks in the nightly TV soap operas so maybe it’s a soap? I hadn’t considered that! Whatever it is, Game of Thrones seems to have a high percentage of global viewers in thrall and much speculation among fans is given over to what is going on in the screen lives of the show’s characters and what may happen with/to them in the next season; the one that can’t come soon enough. They can never come soon enough for the true diehards. I mean, people are seriously into this show!

It’s almost like a drug for them! Which makes me wonder occasionally what I might be missing. Not often, but sometimes I wonder if I should watch at least one episode with Daughter and Son-in-law just to see what I might be missing and just in case it’s really awesome or something. On the other hand, that may not be such a good idea. I obviously don’t have access to wherever it appears legally because I’ve never seen it in the TV guide so what happens if, after sitting in on an episode or three, I get hooked on the phenomenon too? Not being into illegal downloads and things, it could be a real problem because I would either have to drive myself insane with speculation over what I was missing or else monopolise Daughter’s and Son-in-law’s space so I could watch it with them. Sure, they’re always pleased to see me but depending on how often the show airs, I could wear out my welcome very quickly and that’s not something I want to do. Going back to the first hand though…perhaps I could blackmail them with offers of regular babysitting when their first child arrives in a couple of months. They might offer me the couch for a week (or how ever long it would take) to watch all the episodes back to back! How good would that be? And I could be minding the baby at the same time, yeah? But on second thoughts, perhaps that wouldn’t be such a good idea after all. There’d be no one here to feed the chooks.

The Wild West hits Monaro High in Calamity Jane

a go,” she said, “It’s also a really fun show that’s great for all the family to enjoy. I have very fond memories of watching the Doris Day film with my grandmother.” One of the stars of the show, Year 12 drama student Jessica Lee who played Katie Brown, says she really enjoyed being part of the musical. “One of the biggest things I learnt from the production was time management,” she said, “Making sure you are on time to rehearsals and prepared with your lines was really important. It was definitely a team effort.” Toby Williams played the part of Henry Miller in the production and says it reaffirmed his ambition to pursue a career in acting and film.

Monaro High School’s production of Calamity Jane hit the stage last week to rave reviews. Starring students from Year 7 up to Year 12, the performances from all involved impressed the audiences. Director and drama teacher Jess Roberts said she was very proud of the students, who also made up the backstage, lighting and makeup crew, the senior construction class even made the sets. In total, about 50 students were involved in putting together the production. Ms Roberts says she chose Calamity Jane as the school’s biannual production because it allowed every actor in the show to have at least one line. “It’s a very chorus focused show, so everyone gets to have

“I even surprised myself at how I was able to memorise my lines,” he said, “Once you get into the flow, the lines just seem to come naturally.” Ms Roberts also said that being able to perform in the newly refurbished Cooma Little Theatre was a treat, with all the theatre operators being very helpful. “We are so lucky that our students have the opportunity to perform in a real theatre right here in town,” she said, “They get to see how all the lighting works and how the backstage operates in a real theatre. It’s a fantastic experience for them.” After this stellar production, local audiences are eagerly awaiting the school’s 2018 show to hit the stage.

Autism workshops Positive partnerships is an organisation based around providing help for school aged children who are on the autism spectrum. Like all school-aged students, young people on the autism spectrum benefit from strong, positive relationships between home and school. Positive Partnerships uses evidence based materials and practical resources to help support these relationships by facilitating workshops for parents/carers and school staff. They will be running two workshops at the Cooma ExServices Club for parents and teachers involved with children on the spectrum. The first workshop is for teachers and will be held on July 19 from 4-6pm. It will aim to give people a greater understanding of autism and an understanding of the impact of autism on individuals at school and at home. It will also provide an insight into the sensory challenges for young people on the autism spectrum and strategies that could support children to cope, learn and reach their full potential. The second workshop is for parents, carers and grandparents of

children with autism and will be held on July 20 from 9.15am-3pm. This workshop intends to increase understanding of autism on learning and will introduce a planning tool that can be used to share an understanding of a child with autism. It will explore ways that carers can work in partnership with schools and provide information on how to access support both inside and outside of school. Importantly, the workshops will also provide an opportunity for parents and carers to network and share strategies with each other. Positive Partnerships is funded by the Australian Government Department of Education and Training through the Helping Children with Autism package and is delivered by Autism Spectrum Australia. The workshops are free of charge and people who are interested in registering for the teacher workshop can contact Emma Dresens by email edresens@autismspectrum.org.au or phone 0401 106 096. Registration for the carers workshop can be completed online by visiting www.positivepartnerships. com.au Any enquiries can be made by contacting the Positive Partnerships infoline on 1300881971

NPWS aerial pest management program The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has undertaken an aerial control of pest animals across the Southern Ranges Region as part of its ongoing pest management program. NPWS Southern Ranges Regional Manager Mick Pettitt said an aerial shoot targeting goats, pig and deer was successfully completed, resulting in the removal of 175 pests. “Regular aerial shoots are part of the integrated pest management approach for the Region as outlined in the Regional Pest Management Strategy 2012–17,” said Mr Pettitt. “Last month’s operation was conducted in Tinderry Nature Reserve and the Alpine, Murrumbidgee and Riverina Highlands Area of Kosciuszko National Park. “Throughout May and June NPWS also undertook aerial baiting for wild dogs at various locations and in cooperation with neighbouring landholders.

“A helicopter was used to lay baits on specific pre-set bait lines in accordance with approved wild dog plans. “Around 11,200 baits were deployed across 8 identified wild dog management areas within the NPWS estate and adjacent to Kosciuszko National Park. “The operation is conducted with approval from the Department of Primary Industries in accordance with the Pesticide Control Order for 1080 poison,” said Mr Pettitt. Integrated pest management operations will continue across the Southern Ranges Region in accordance with the priorities outlined in the Strategy.

Once again, the annual Curry luncheon was a success with many locals and some visitors indulging in the culinary delights for which the CWA ladies are famous. A good old fashioned curry recipe that has been used by the ladies for many years to gain an overall great result. Then of course, the piece de resistance! A mouthwatering array of sweets from which to choose! The

solution, of course, TRY A BIT OF EVERYTHING ! Washed down with a hot cuppa afterwards, going back out into the cold wasn’t going to be such an ordeal. Thanks to all who visited and sampled the wonderful food, and well done to all who contributed in any way. A One hundred club was conducted during the luncheon, with the winner still in the hall at the time of drawing, and the lucky winner was Marie Fletcher, who not only enjoyed the afternoon with friends, didn’t go home empty handed.

CCTV catches vandal at club The Bombala RSL Club was the target of a senseless act of vandalism on Saturday night, June 26, with several photographs being stolen, and their frame completely destroyed. The frame contained a series of pictures of the premiership winning 2001 Bombala Reserve Grade rugby league football side, with the vandal having ripped the frame apart in order to get to the photographs. The framed photos were part of a historic football display

located in the old TAB section of the club, which is somewhat secluded from the main bar area. Nonetheless the Club is very pleased to report that it has CCTV footage of the incident and the culprit has been identified and contacted to arrange compensation. This is a timely reminder that the Bombala RSL Club is fully fitted with CCTV to ensure security, with patrons being advised to respect the premises and staff when visiting the Club.

SMGS “In Your Dreams� brings the Theatre to Jindabyne Every two years s o m e t h i n g extraordinary happens at Snowy Mountains Grammar School. The school’s multipurpose Snowy Shed is transformed into a theatre. It is here that SMGS brings the theatre to Jindabyne. SMGS’ unique academy programming allows students to choose from a number of options in which they participate every Wednesday for part of the school year. “In Your Dreams� fell under the Academies of Music and Drama in Terms 1 and 2, and Art and Photography in Term 2. Both of these academies were extremely popular, with one-third of the senior class enrolling. The polished product is a reflection of the hard work, passion, countless hours and dedication of all staff and students involved. Mrs Catherine Batson, the musical’s director and energetic drama teacher, emphasised the importance of a strong performing arts program for the staff and students. She said, “Beyond the obvious outcomes of garnering acting, singing, dancing and instrument-playing

experience, students develop a wealth of personal skills. These skills include building self-confidence, problem-solving, organisational and coordination skills, not to mention producing an entertaining and thought-provoking production for our community.� Student Eve Donnelly, who played Nick Bottom, agreed with the development of the less visual skills and said, “This has been so much fun - we’ve all really bonded.� Mrs Batson also said, “One big reason for doing a musical (or any Arts subject really) is it allows the students to take risks in a safe environment. This sets the stage to encourage them to really challenge themselves in areas in which they may not have thought they could achieve. I think we do that really well at SMGS.� Student Harry Stephenson who played the role of Alex, echoed

this sentiment, stating, “I didn’t know I could sing.� Still buzzing from the success of this year’s performance, students

and staff are already putting up their hands to participate in the next show, excited about the challenges and opportunities a

production provides, but more importantly, the way a musical can bring a school community together.

BE AWARE… SECTION 355 COMMITTEES TO CONTINUE UNDER NEW COUNCIL Snowy Monaro Regional Council has confirmed that all existing Section 355 Committees throughout the newly formed council area will continue to operate. Administrator Dean Lynch said, “The topic of Council committees was sensitive and there have been enquiries about their future following the merger announcement”. Council resolved to retain all Section 355 Committees until the Local Government elections are held in September next year. The newly elected Councillors then review the number of committees and their structure to ensure that a best practice model is in place to best service the community. “Section 355 Committees are the backbone of the community. They are an important mechanism for council to look after many of the community

assets. The recommendations from these committees provide input to Council’s strategy, policy and management which enable the organisation to continue to operate in an effective manner.” Public participation in Council matters is important and encouraged, to that end Council will ensure that their Local Representative Committees (LRCs) members will have representatives sit on each of the s355 Committees. “I want to recognise and thank all volunteers serving on the s355 Committees who do not necessarily have the time, but have the heart to go out and make a difference to our community. I look forward to working with a number of these committees to address matters that are important throughout our community,” said Mr Lynch.

Bombala Public School Middle School Day

Middle School Day students and staff enjoyed a fun-filled day with plenty of hands on activities through out the day. A hum of anticipation was heard around the High School hall as Bombala High’s Year 7 students and Year Five and Six Students from Bombala Public, Delegate Public and St Joseph’s School came together for a Middle School Day on Thursday 30th June. Students were engaged in a variety of activities to continue to build on the culture of high expectations and relationships developed at the last Middle School Day in Term 1. Children began by exploring their personality types and then were involved in some group activities. They were then given the chance to reflect on the personal goals, set at the last Middle School Day. A fun balloon game

In your time of

encouraged cooperation and consideration. After a delicious morning tea the challenge was to follow a brief to make a paper plane. A video, ‘Austin’s Butterfly’ provided the impetus for the this activity. The children took turns in making and observing the plane making procedure. The children then shared their observations of how the group worked. The finale was to test the craft they had made. A hearty, soup lunch was enjoyed by children and adults alike. The day concluded with a trivia afternoon with the children’s general knowledge being tested. A special thank you must go to Ms Shelley and her band of Year 8 helpers who had planned and worked so hard to provide two meals for so many Alan Dodd Director (JP) people. Many thanks also to all those who 43 Denison St Cooma NSW 2630 organized the day. The primary students Including Burial & Cremation felt very comfortable in the secondary environment and came away with greater need, nothing else but an established local trusted family funeral director will do. cooperation skills and an understanding of the You will be dealing direct with a funeral director need for persistence when trying a challenging activity.

The DPA’s Penelope Judge, Patron of the Borderline Gallery, Bob Stewart, the Council’s Karen Cash and new Bundian Way liaison person, Craig Mitchell at the opening of two new exhibitions in Delegate on Saturday. Diligat - better known as Mt Delegate had a mantle of snow and an icy wind was blowing, but that did not deter an enthusiastic crowd from attending the openings of the new exhibitions at the Bundian and Borderline Galleries in Delegate on Saturday, June 25. Karen Cash announced $100,000 in pledged funding for the Bundian Way Project by the Snowy Monaro Regional Council, and introduced the new Bundian Way liaison person, Craig Mitchell from Cooma. Bob Stewart then opened the Bundian Gallery exhibition of work, ‘Daraga Bulwul Wanngaan’ by the women of the South Coast Yuin people. He also declared the exhibition of local artists, the ‘Monaro Winter Blues’ open. The Delegate Progress Association made a presentation to Mr Stewart appointing him as a Patron for the

Borderline Gallery. He was also presented with a painting ‘Winter on the Monaro’ by local artist, Nola White. The presentations were in recognition of Mr Stewart’s continued support and encouragement of the Delegate community during his tenure as Bombala Council Mayor. The attendees were then encouraged to explore the galleries and share some refreshments provided by the DPA. The Bundian Gallery features vibrant paintings, shellwork, jewellery and an exhibit of work from Narooma High School students ‘Sistas’. The Borderline Gallery has a wonderful collection of local paintings, ironwork, woodwork, pottery, jewellery, ceramics, textiles and photography. Both galleries are well worth a visit, with the current exhibitions will be on display until September.

postman calls

Well, that’s a fine pickle we’ve voted ourselves into, isn’t it? For decades Australians have been locked into a two-party choice. The dog’s breakfast we are faced with now may just mean that we can divest ourselves of parties and look at electing more individuals. We may even find candidates who consider the job a vocation, not just a career move. However, the nation is now faced with an interesting and probably testing immediate future as Labor and Liberal try to govern without a very clear mandate. Will anything be achieved before we are forced back to the polls to gain more clarity – only time will tell! It would be interesting to know what impact, if any, the NSW State Government’s forced amalgamations had on the result. Certainly, superannuants have expressed their concern at proposed changes to super laws. We live in interesting times.

Waste of time and money

Editor, Well what a waste of time and money we have witnessed over the last 8 weeks. Mr Shorten may have hit the nail on the head when he said the coalition had lost the mandate to govern, however to date the Labor party has not received the mandate either. How can either party tell us they have done a great job and talk up failure. Both parties should realise they have disenfranchised the voter, the Australian public have had a gutful. The electoral commission and all relevant authorities should have a clear mandate to impose fines on all political

parties that promote misleading information to the Australian voter especially through an election campaign. The attempt to clean up the upper house, senate has been nothing short of a disaster. This election has not progressed this great nation. How wrong did our so called political journosww call the election, very similar to the Brexit.

Cooma lights up for winter

Last Friday and Saturday saw Cooma retailers and businesses once again showing their town pride. Wearing “So much to love� t-shirts and caps and colourful helium balloons, the 33 participating businesses were very happy to welcome in our locals and tourists alike. Trade for the weekend was good with retailers indicating increases from the prior year. Certainly there was a lot more people in town on Friday and Saturday. Last week also saw the launch of Cooma’s own mini “vivid� with our Centennial Park trees beautifully lit up. “This is only the beginning� says Kathy Kelly, president of the Chamber. “It the first stage in a Chamber initiative to light up town, and I would sincerely like to thank our Snowy Monaro Regional Council and Red Energy who

assisted in the implementation and funding of this part of the project. “The next stage is to bring our town businesses further on board to light up their own shops� said Kathy. “We have a general meeting of members this Wednesday July 6 at 6pm at “Feed� in the Hain Centre, where we hope creative ideas will flow to expand upon this and really put Cooma on the map for our tourists. Imagine if we took this further and our whole region was known for doing this over the winter season�. Kathy encourages the region’s other Chambers to come on board so that we can become known as the winter wonderland we know we can be.

The history of buttons proved to be a fascinating and complex subject, and many who attended brought buttons of their own for Jackie to identify. The event, which included a luncheon to raise funds for building maintenance at St Peter’s Anglican Church

TAX TIME

Wednesday July 6, 2016

78% of Aussies love ATO benchmarks helping build their accountant - really! small business It’s officially tax time and officially the worst time of year for half of Australia with 49 per cent admitting they loathe completing their return. But getting Aussies through the taxing times are their amazing accountants, with nearly 80 per cent outsourcing their tax return to a professional and 78 per cent admitting they love their accountant! ServiceSeeking.com.au CEO Jeremy Levitt said it was refreshing to see the old stereotype surrounding accountants getting a facelift. “Rightly or wrongly, accountants have often been labelled boring geeks without people skills. So it’s great to see they are breaking through that mould and showing off their personalities to capture and grow their business.� More than half of all jobs listed for an accountant on ServiceSeeking. com.au are posted between the peak tax months of July and September. But interestingly, quotes during that period actually fall with July being the cheapest month to get a tax return completed at an average price of $95. The price stays under $100 for August and September before jumping to $105-$122 during other months of the year. “The interesting thing here is that the quoted price actually falls for July through September, which runs

counter to most normal markets; high demand usually pushes prices up,� says Mr Levitt. And with only 22 per cent of Aussies completing their own paperwork, those accountants with solid people skills and great attention to detail have a lot of work coming their way right about now. Forty-seven per cent of respondents were lucky enough to find the love of their tax lives right away, while 53 per cent have shopped around - sometimes up to six times to find the person who understands their receipts and deductions best. It seems we’re generally a nation of people willing to get their paperwork in on time, with 61 per cent of those surveyed completing their return in the first two months of the new financial year, with 82 per cent completing it by the end of October deadline for individuals. Some other interesting details include: • 51 per cent are happy with the rate of tax they pay • Only 16 per cent have been audited in the past • Less than 10 per cent have been fined by the ATO The survey collected responses from more than 4,000 ServiceSeeking.com. au customers.

The ATO today announced the latest benchmarks for small business. Based on the data from 2014 income tax returns and business activity statements, the benchmarks cover over 1.3 million small businesses. Assistant Commissioner Matthew Bambrick said one of the great things about the benchmarks was that they gave a lot of small businesses peace of mind. “If a small business is inside the benchmark range for their industry and the ATO hasn’t received any extra information that may cause concern, they can be confident that they probably won’t hear from us,� Mr Bambrick said. “The Business performance check tool on the ATO App also makes it quick and easy for small businesses to compare their own operations with industry benchmarks.� Mr Bambrick said the benchmarks were also a helpful guide for small businesses to see how they stack up against others

in their industry. “We know a lot of small businesses, advisors and industry associations use the benchmarks to gauge competitiveness, whether or not costs might be too high or profit margins too low. “Sometimes when a small business finds themselves outside the benchmarks for their industry it may be because they have more waste than their competitors or they’re spending more on materials in comparison. Using the benchmarks as a guide, not only can they identify where they are slipping behind but also how they can improve and build their business. “For example, one business told us how their accountant used the tailored benchmarks to work out that their expense to turnover ratio was higher than other businesses with a similar turnover. Using this information the business adjusted some of their inputs and how they were pricing their products. These changes resulted in an

overall improvement in their performance.� Mr Bambrick said for some small businesses outside the benchmark range it could also simply be a case of being incorrectly registered or the business intent changing since starting up. “These types of small administrative errors can be easily fixed by checking the previous year’s tax return to see which Business industry code was used and then updating it in the next return and on the Australian Business Register,� Mr Bambrick said. While the benchmarks are a helpful guide for small business, Mr Bambrick said it was also one of a number of tools the ATO uses to ensure a level playing field. “We use tools like benchmarks and data matching to protect honest businesses from competitors who are trying to get ahead by avoiding their tax obligations.�

We expect to receive most pre-fill information by August, which means if you can wait until then, completing your own tax return should be even quicker and easier, and you’ll be far less likely to make a mistake. Nine - Lodge by 31 October The deadline for lodging your own tax return is 31 October. The important thing to remember if you are planning to use a tax agent is that you have to contact them before the end of October to meet their lodgment dates.

One - Make sure you have a tax file number (TFN) You do not have to have a TFN, but without one you will have more tax deducted from your pay and you will not be able to lodge a tax return.

Talk to the experts At the end of another financial year, it is an opportune time to review your finances and ensure that you have in place strategies to maximise your longterm wealth. “This is where a good accountant is invaluable” says Julie Schofield, a Director with well-known local accounting firm Boyce Chartered Accountants. “We take responsibility to ensure that you have in place strategies to maximise your taxation outcome both in the current year and beyond to ensure that you are not paying more tax than necessary” said Julie. Superannuation was front and centre in this year’s Federal Budget with the Government announcing numerous tax reforms. Many of the changes will be effective from 1 July 2017 others were

immediate however, it is important to remember that these announcements have not yet been legislated. The most significant and immediate change is the introduction of a $500,000 lifetime cap on non-concessional contributions effective from 7:30pm on 3 May 2016 (budget night). “The lifetime cap will take into account all non-concessional contributions made on or after 1 July 2007” said Julie. There are two other noteworthy changes from 1 July 2017 including, the annual cap on concessional superannuation contributions will be reduced to $25,000 (currently $30,000 under age 50; $35,000 for ages 50 and over) along with a $1.6 million transfer cap to be introduced on the total amount of superannuation savings that can be transferred from accumulation phase to

pension phase. It is really important that you seek advice from your advisor prior to making a pension withdrawal and/or a superannuation contribution. In other news, the ATO has confirmed that handbags used for work are tax deductible in certain situations. The ATO’s rules are simple; if a handbag is bought mainly (more than 50 per cent) or wholly for work, is used to carry work-related items and is an essential part of a person’s ability to earn an income, then a claim can be made. But there’s a catch — you have to keep a logbook to prove it carried more than lipstick and lunch to the office. The ATO loves documentation and in order to support your claim it would be preferable to keep a log book for at least a month to prove usage.

Scooter Club monthly report Borderliners looking for snake stories

It was calm and sunny winter’s day for the Scooter Club’s June ride which took place a week after the big rain. As both footbridges across the river had been damaged by flood waters, the Trailblazers were unable to do the usual circuit on the River Walk. Instead they journeyed south along the river to Young Street and cruised past the tennis courts before proceeding in convoy down Maybe Street to Cosmo CafÊ. There Arthur and his wonderful staff were quick to provide a welcoming hot cuppa before the monthly meeting got under way. Birthday celebrations ranked first on the

agenda. The Scooter Club was established 5 years ago with some of the current members recalling the first official ride in June 2011. Plans are underway to commemorate the occasion with a party next month. Proposed excursions to Pambula and Jindabyne were also discussed. These plans were brought forward due to some interest from a mobility scooter user in East Jindabyne. As Bombala has the only scooter club in the Snowy Monaro district, this gentleman is keen to participate in Trailblazer activities wherever possible, especially excursions or day trips.

We are all fascinated by snakes and most of us have at least one story to tell. There are many good snake stories in this district and Borderliners would like to hear them. “Having decided to focus on snake stories, as well as Joker Johnson, our show is coming together,� said Deb Foskey, the group’s convenor. Lis Shelley from StageFlight Theatre in Pambula, conducted a workshop in Delegate’s School of Arts on June 25th. “Even though the temperature hardly rose above freezing, we warmed up with exercises and techniques for memorising lines and making our voices heard at the back of the room. “The Borderliners Performance Group worked with the story of Delegate Hospital’s unwelcome visit from a snake in 1979, a story that made headlines all round the world.

“We also read a letter to the editor of the Bendigo Times in 1860 which makes a wonderful monologue. “We have a core group of actors and a few helpers. Now we can be sure that the show will go ahead later this year and invite others to join us. “We all had a lot of fun; making theatre is like children’s games – the more you get into it, the more you and the audience get out of it. “Our next workshop/rehearsal will be on Saturday July 16th at the School of Arts in Delegate. Let us know if you want to join us – we have no intention of keeping all this fun to ourselves,� said Deb Foskey Have you got a good snake story? One that could be turned into a theatrical piece, with humour, pathos, bathos or anything that will interest an audience? Contact Deb on 0264580399.

Knit and Natter busy with blankets As they head into their sixth year, Bombala’s dedicated Knit ’n’ Natter group are busily clicking away preparing their next batch of blankets for the Wrap with Love campaign. The group began creating squares for this internationally recognised cause back in 2010, with the knitted and crocheted pieces being sewn into blankets that are distributed to the needy for winter or in times of disaster. The blankets go out to those both in Australia and overseas, and if the local ladies complete their target of 100 wraps this year, they will have donated an incredible total of 869 blankets to the charity overall. “We’ve already got 86 full wraps made this year, so we’re determined to do it,� says Lexie Milliner, the driving force behind the Knit ’n’ Knatter group in Bombala. When Lexie says “we� she refers to the dedicated group of knitters who gather at the Cosmo Cafe each Thursday between 10am to 3pm to work on their squares, and of course share in plenty of chat

MID YEAR

and laughter. “We are looked after very well at Cosmo’s,� Lexie adds. “It’s lovely and warm and of course there’s hot drinks and meals and everything to keep us going through the day.� Lexie also thanks the many people who have donated wool, or money for wool, to their cause. And of course all are welcome to come along of a Thursday to take part in the knitting and crocheting, or they can simply work on their squares from home. Just call Lexie on 6458 3243 to get the size or to find out more. Lexie tells us that this year’s deadline is rapidly approaching, however, with the wraps needing to be sent away by the end of July to reach Wrap with Love in time for the next distribution. Thanks to some photos taken in Afghanistan by a former local, the Knit ’n’ Natter group know that their blankets find very grateful homes, and they look forward to delivering their next batch to Murphy’s Transport for the first leg of their trip in coming weeks.

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

Vendor has said enough is enough

ARE YOU SELF-EMPLOYED, OR A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER WANTING TO BUY A HOUSE OR COMMERCIAL PREMISES? FINDING IT HARD TO GET FINANCE? I often hear from people that they are struggling getting finance through their Bank as they are self-employed. Or they want to buy their business premises, but the rates are so much higher. Come and talk to me. I have years of experience in reading business financials and tax returns, and know how to present them to the Lender in an application. I also know which Lender’s policies will give you more chance of an approval, as they do have different assessment policies. There are also some Lenders out there who are offering business loans on low residential rates, using either residential or commercial security. One Lender at the moment, has a variable rate of under 4.50% for business loans, with either residential or commercial security. To find out more, or to see if it would suit your needs, contact me for an obligation free appointment. I also have built up some connections and referral partners, so that if I am unable to assist directly, I can refer you to someone who may be able to. If you are looking for equipment finance or leasing, I can arrange for someone to contact you to discuss options. Being self-employed also means you need to look after other areas of your financial situation, to ensure you are on the right track. Damian Toms is a senior financial planner, who can offer advice on areas such as personal insurance, super, wealth creation, and retirement planning. I confidently refer my clients to him, and receive very positive feedback. I can arrange for him to call you or make an appointment to meet. So, whatever your current situation is, I am more than happy to have a chat and see if I can improve your situation.

Please call me for an appointment, on mobile: 0431 351 873

Fixed rate demand continues its decline

Despite the fact that many of Australia’s lenders have cut the interest on their suite of fixed rate home loans, demand for this type of product continues to fall. According to Mortgage Choice’s latest national home loan approval data, fixed rate home loans

accounted for 23.89% of all loans written throughout the month of June – down 0.52% on the month prior. Speaking about the results, Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said the Reserve Bank of Australia’s decision to cut

the cash rate in May was continuing to encourage borrowers into variable rate home loans. “After the May rate cut, we have seen an increasing number of borrowers flocking to variable rate products,� he said. “It is clear Australians want to take full advantage of the current low rate environment. And as speculation about another rate cut this year continues to grow, I would expect variable rate demand to strengthen further.� Mr Flavell said while an increasing number of borrowers were opting for variable rate home loans,

many of Australia’s lenders were proactively trimming the interest on their suite of fixed rate products. “In recent weeks, we have seen a number of lenders slash the interest rates across their suite of fixed rate home loans. As a result, these products are now very sharply priced,� he said. “That said, it is fair to say interest rates are very low across the board. So, regardless of whether a borrower takes out a variable rate or fixed rate mortgage, they can be assured of securing themselves a competitive interest rate.� Across the country, variable rate demand was highest in Victoria, with this type of product accounting

Demand for variable rate home loans was lowest in Western Australia, with this type of product making up 73.36% of all loans written. Of the different variable rates on offer, ongoing discount products continued to prove the most popular with borrowers, with this type of product making up 48.98% of all loans written throughout the month of June.

South East LLS discontinues tag sales South East Local Land Services has announced as of the 1 July 2016 it will no longer sell National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) devices such as identification tags unless in case of an emergency. South East Local Land Services General Manager, Derek Larsen said the NLIS is Australia’s system for the identification and traceability of cattle, sheep and goats. “It was introduced in 1999 to enhance Australia’s ability to trace cattle during disease and food incidents, but was expanded to also include sheep and goats in 2009,� Mr Larsen said. “NLIS reflects Australia’s

commitment to biosecurity and food safety and provides a competitive advantage in a global market. “Local Land Services has supported the NLIS for some time now, primarily as a way of raising awareness of this important system. “There are now a wide range of easy methods for livestock producers to obtain tags from produce stores and rural cooperatives, with a large increase in the availability from online retailers. “South East Local Land Services will continue its strong support of the NLIS through the management of Property

Drastic changes needed NSW Farmers cannot back the State Government’s draft biodiversity reforms unless drastic changes are made. Ahead of the closing of a six-week public submission process, NSW Farmers has called for sweeping changes to the draft laws. Association President, Mr Derek Schoen, said the current draft legislation in its current form was unworkable for farmers and “significant amendments were needed from start to finish�. “While the draft laws go some way towards addressing the concerns of farmers, they are overly convoluted. For over 20 years, the current Native Vegetation Act has hampered efficient farming practices and without significant changes, the draft laws run the real risk of repeating the mistakes of the past.� “Many recommendations of the 2014 independent panel review have not been adequately addressed, leaving farmers at potential risk and introducing further uncertainty over land use.� In its final submission to the NSW Government, the Association outlined several areas of concern:

WHO’S AT POLO FLAT ELGAS Cooma and Snowy Mountains - Ph: 131 161

• Native vegetation regulatory maps have not been released, making it impossible for farmers to fully assess the impact of the reforms. • Proposed land management codes will introduce excessive red tape and could impede the potential efficiency and equity of a new system. • The cost of increasing productivity will be prohibitive for farmers. • The draft act also contains excessive powers of entry and investigation. NSW Farmers call for changes follows an intensive campaign by the Association to consult with members and raise awareness of the urgent need for biodiversity reforms. The campaign, which called on people living in NSW to ‘Get the Whole Picture’ on land reform, included public forums across the State. We welcome the commitment to increased investment in private land conservation and reiterate the need to repeal the Native Vegetation Act. “We urge the Government to listen to farmers who’ve been looking after the natural environment for generationsâ€?, he said.

Sheep DNA tests now quicker and easier DNA testing of sheep is now quicker and easier than ever, following moves by the Sheep CRC to simplify the process for breeders. From July 1 producers will be able to purchase a stock of blood cards to keep on hand on their properties, allowing them to take blood samples at their convenience, such as at lamb marking, and only submit those they are most interested in for analysis at a later date when they consider their selection options. Chief executive of the Cooperative Research Centre for Sheep Industry Innovation (Sheep CRC), James Rowe, said the change was in direct response to a recent survey which indicated that breeders would be more willing to use DNA testing to improve their flocks if turnaround times were faster. “We’re always eager to make sure that new technology is practical for producers and their feedback has been really valuable in identifying how we can improve the DNA test system,” Prof. Rowe said. “Being able to order and keep on hand a stock of blood cards may seem a simple change to the process, but in effect it will shorten the turnaround time by up to two weeks and save breeders time, labour and money.” The Sheep CRC operates as

part of the Federal Department of Industry, Innovation and Science’s CRC program. It is a collaboration of over 40 organisations from across industry, government and the commercial sector, and includes producer groups, farm advisers, universities and research organisations, meat processors and retailers. Working with its Participants and a number of international consortia the CRC has developed a range of sheep DNA tests, including genomic trait analysis, parentage and poll/ horn tests, which rely on producers to collect a small tissue sample – either a couple of drops of blood sample onto a special card or an ear punch sample. The samples are sent to Geneseek’s laboratories for extraction and analysis of DNA before the results are processed and reported by the Sheep CRC and Sheep Genetics. “Producers can now prepurchase blood cards at 90c per card and hold a stock on farm to use when it’s most convenient to take blood samples,” Prof. Rowe said. “The Parentage or Genomic Test order can then be made separately to purchasing the blood cards. “Previously breeders would order and pay for a number of tests, wait until that exact number of blood

cards were sent to them, and then conduct an extra yarding of only those animals they were interested in testing to collect the blood samples – it’s fair to say it was a cumbersome process. “Now, they can sample as many animals as they wish, hold those samples on farm, wait until they see how those lambs mature, and only need to pay for DNA tests for those animals they are most interested in when they send in the blood cards. It will save sheep breeders both time and money.” Sheep breeders are also able to submit ear-punch tissue samples using Allflex’s Tissue Sampling Unit (TSU). The pricing structure has also been altered to reflect these changes, with the price of the blood card or TSU now separate to the price of the DNA tests. Parentage/Poll tests are now $16.10 (ex GST) and the Genomic Test now $49.10 (ex GST). An online payment system is also being implemented and will be available later in July. • More information on sheep DNA testing is available at www.sheepcrc.org.au

Farmers reminded to ask for health statements NSW Farmers is reminding all farmers to ask for an animal health statement when buying breeder stock, following today’s changes to managing Bovine Johne’s Disease (BJD) in NSW. “NSW Farmers supports national uniformity of BJD regulations across all states and welcomes the move to a riskbased approach for managing BJD,” said Bill Stacy, Chair of the NSW Farmers Cattle Committee. “We’re calling on the state government to underpin the

changes to BJD management by mandating the use of the Cattle Health Statement in transactions of breeder stock.” The new approach to managing the disease is based on the BJD Framework developed by Animal Health Australia, and gives producers greater control in managing their on-farm biosecurity risk. Animal Health Australia is also finalising a nationally coordinated beef cattle assurance scheme to replace the current CattleMAP.

Producers are encouraged to continue to prepare and request a Cattle Health Statement when trading stock. It is important to ask questions about the health status of animals before bringing them onto your property. For more information on the changes to BJD management contact Local Land Services on 1300 795 299, or visit www. farmbiosecurity.com.au to start preparing your on-farm biosecurity plan.

Top tips for quicker DNA test results: • Place an online order for cards and/or tests at www.sheepcrc.org. au • After sampling return the cards or tissue samples via express post with a test order form • Provide an electronic file with

details including sample ID, group details and where possible Sheep Genetics ID • Provide payment details when cards/TSUs are returned (online payment coming soon) Provide a complete sire/dam list to match to progeny for parentage testing

Vaccination costs By Patrick Kluver, Livestock Biosecurity Network yards, with wet sheep and when using blunt or dirty needles. An obvious way to reduce the risk is to reduce the number of injections you are giving (and you even save yourself some money). Look at the all the current injections you are giving - you may be getting little benefit from some, especially some vitamin and trace element supplementations, unless a genuine deficiency exists. Talk to an independent animal health advisor to examine what you are currently giving and investigate combination products that reduce the number of injections required. With some vaccines some level of reaction is normal. With the OJD vaccine GudairÂŽ, reactions can occur in about 30 per cent of animals so it is important to be in the right spot on the neck, under the skin and away from the midline. We do see quite costly mistakes with this vaccine when inexperienced users inject in the cheek muscle, rump or the on the back. Some things to help minimise the chance of lesions include: Injecting under the skin – you shouldn’t feel any LOW COST NLIS APPROVED EAR TAGS resistance as this may indicate the needle is in the muscle or the skin.

Despite a dark cloud descending over global financial markets the wool market managed some solid gains. The Eastern Market Indicator closed the 2015-16 selling season up 12 cents, just short of its high point for the season. Once again the mid micron Merino Fleece types outperformed their peers with the 20 to 23 micron indicators finishing the week at their respective highest levels of the season. 26,776 bales were sold for the week with the passed in rate at 7.2%. Major buyers included Techwool, PJ Morris and Fox & Lillie. The 2015-16 season may very well be seen as a season of stability for wool prices if we remove the highest and lowest weeks of the year the EMI traded in a tight 90 cent band for the rest of the period.

AWTA testing figures for the season indicate a 7% decline in the weight of wool tested nationally which is in line with the National Wool Production Forecasting Committees latest estimates and also in line with AWEX’s auction offering analysis. The 2016-17 season starts next week and will run for a fortnight before pausing for the annual 3 week recess. This week’s sales 38,265 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 13,716 in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard & Monaro Wool are selling on Wednesday the 6th of July.

Vaccination or injection reactions are commonplace, and while typically seen at abattoirs and causing costs to run into the millions, the good news is they are largely avoidable. These costs may seem small when spread across the whole industry, however prevention is free and simple and can make a difference to your bottom line. There are plenty of things producers can do to reduce the impact of vaccination lesions in their flock, which are scars or abscesses at injection sites. Correct vaccination technique is very important and the best way to avoid lesions is to check your technique and equipment. Trimming costs increase where injections aren’t given in the correct position, which is on the neck. All things equal, you want to minimise the value of the meat which is trimmed. Most vaccines are typically designed to be given under the skin, not in the skin or muscle. The chance of an injection reaction increases in dusty

SELX open day at Yass With a roof spanning five rugby fields and 86km of steel railing constructing 524 selling pens, Australia’s newest livestock selling centre, South Eastern Livestock Exchange (SELX) opened to the public on July 3. “When you sit back and look at what has gone into the construction of SELX, it is pretty impressive,� said SELX partner,

Rohan Arnold. “1,450 tonnes of steel, 63,000 tonnes of gravel, over 275,000 roofing screws! But the most important figures of all are the 100,000 cattle and 1.2 million sheep the livestock exchange anticipates selling each year.� South Eastern Livestock Exchange (SELX) is located at the intersection of seven

highways and arterial roads, just off the Hume Highway in Yass NSW. Construction of the $15 million, 16 hectare world-class, regional livestock selling centre commenced in September 2015, with the final touches currently being added before sales commence in August 2016.

NSW Farmers welcomes funding to tackle livestock effluent on roadways NSW Farmers has today welcomed the joint initiative by the Federal and State Governments to reduce problems with livestock effluent on roadways. The new program, Fixing Country Truck Washes, will provide $5 million each from the NSW and Federal Governments to build and upgrade truck wash out facilities. NSW Farmers Business, Economics and Trade Chairman Peter Wilson said, “Over a number of years, both the trucking and farming sectors have worked together to develop sensible outcomes to manage the effluent problem. “Providing more wash out bays across the State has been identified by our members as

a key solution to the effluent problem. “The transport and agriculture industries have spent a great deal of investment in managing effluent, with the fitting and retrofitting of containment tanks in livestock crates. This program will lighten the load on existing infrastructure, freeing up livestock transporters to focus on the welfare of animals, the safety of others on the road, and biosecurity. “The investment will partner with the NSW Government’s investments in the road network to build greater productivity for livestock farmers in NSW. “We encourage the Government to partner this program with a renewed commitment to

developing pragmatic approach to the regulation and enforcement of effluent. “Such an approach should focus on major breaches, where the opportunity to use a wash down facility has been ignored – not minor infringements that pose no risk,’’ Mr Wilson said. Effluent falls under the issue of load restraint in the Heavy Vehicle (Mass Dimension and Loading) National Regulation (NSW). The National Transport Commission expects Ministers to consider amendments to the current Load Restraint Guide late in 2016 before release of the next amendment package to the Load Restraint Guide in 2017.

Livestock manager finalist in NAB’s Rising Champions awards Livestock manager Jeremy Cummins has been named New South Wales finalist in the Cattle Council of Australia’s 2016 NAB Agribusiness Rising Champions Initiative. Mr Cummins, who currently works for beef processing company Teys Australia, also owns a small cattle grazing company with his wife - running 350 head per annum. A Bachelor of Business and Master of Agribusiness Management graduate, Mr Cummins says he’s driven by a desire to see better relationships developed between agricultural producers and businesses in the Australian beef industry. Now in its sixth year, the Rising Champions Initiative caters for 18-35 year olds and aims to inspire, empower and support young people who are passionate about the Australian beef industry. Cattle Council of Australia president, Howard Smith, says it plays an important role in supporting the next generation. “This initiative was created because we want the cattle producers and stakeholders of tomorrow involved in the planning that occurs today.� “We’re identifying future leaders and providing them with an opportunity to network with policy makers and develop the knowledge, political acumen and leadership skills to be a young champion in the beef industry,� Mr Smith said. National Australia Bank’s Head of Agribusiness for New South Wales, Geoff Rose, said NAB was delighted to continue its support. “Every year this initiative gets bigger and bigger and the standard of applicants seems to keep rising as well,� he said. “Jeremy is committed to building strong working

relationships between producers and businesses in the beef industry and displays a high level of professionalism in everything he does. We’re confident he has a bright future in the agricultural sector.� State finalists will attend a three-day program in Canberra on 22-24 August, networking with staff from the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources, learning effective communication techniques, developing their leadership skills, and participating in Cattle Council committee meetings. The 2016 winner will be announced at a gala dinner on 24 August.

MEA gets a voice thanks to NSW Government The Member for Monaro, John Barilaro last week announced $2750 in NSW Government funding for the Monaro Equestrian Association as part of the 2015/16 Local Sport Grant Program. Funding has been provided to purchase a PA system for the club. “The main aim of this program is to increase regular on-going participation opportunities in sport and active recreation

in NSW,” Mr Barilaro said. “The fund is also designed to help clubs purchase equipment they need to run their operations. “Sport is a huge part of our way of life and the NSW Government recognises that. “The NSW Government is committed to delivering the best infrastructure to the people of NSW and I look forward to seeing the benefits of this upgrade for the community”.

JRUC match reports Cooma contests Tuggeranong The First Tracks Boardstore U/10 Jindabyne Piglets came up against their toughest opponents to date, Easts, in Canberra on Saturday. The U/10 Piglets continued their undefeated streak coming away with a hard fought 26-10 win, with Owen Thrum scoring three tries and Riley Duggan one and successfully converting three. It was a great display of rugby by the U/10 Piglets who were able to put into motion all the skills that their brilliant coach, Damien Thrum, has been drilling into them at training. Tough defence by the forwards and great skills from the backs proved too much for Easts. A brilliant stand out performance in both defence and attack by Riley Duggan saw him awarded the Player of the Day and with only one game of rugby under his belt, Thomas Mackenzie proved himself to be a valuable team member and earnt himself the Coaches Award. An entertaining game for the Gloria Jeans Under11s vs UniNorths today with the U/11s piglets coming out on top 3327. The two teams traded try for try in the muddy conditions. Thomas Old scored three tries and Patrick Broe scored two and kicked four conversions. The Piglets tries came off some great team play with two coming off strong runs by Jacob Golby and forwards driving over to give the backs some good ball and the others from good backline play by Thomas, Patrick and Rory McGregor. Coaches points: 1 point- Thomas Old 2 points- Jacob Golby 3 points - Patrick Broe

Players Player - Jacob Golby. What a great win for the The Hip Pocket Cooma under 12’s piglets 62-5 against St Eddies. They played like champions on Saturday with Preston Hilless scoring his first try of the season and other tries were scored by Brock Freeburn, Jesse Pettigrew, Jackson Connelly, Angus Falconer and Fletcher Thew. Man of the match went to Josh Williams playing an awesome game Coaches choice went to Jackson Connolly who also played a great game. The Rokits Edibles u/14s went down 36-26 to Burgmann in an epic battle, but played brilliantly. Under 14s played Burgmann at their ground. The score was 36-26 to Burgman – six tries to four. Our boys took a while to get going in the first half, maybe too much fun on the bus on the way there, it has been suggested. The second half the boys were on fire and caught up the score, but still narrowly missing out. Also special mention to all the U14s boys, as we only had 14 players and no reserves, so huge effort from the boys

basketball tournament Cooma Basketball U/16 Teams played in the Tuggeranong Fast Four tournament last weekend. Our girls team of ten players mostly comprised of U/14 girls in their first year of basketball and the boys with a little more size and experience played four games with only six players. The girls suffered big losses against Tuggeranong Southern Cross and the WCWD Dodgers. However, they weren’t deterred by the ACT players some of which were ACT representatives and Division one and two players. The Cooma girls remained composed and went from strength to strength throughout the tournament. The girls played off for third and forth in the finals against Winnunga Warriors and despite the loss were able to keep the score to a competitive margin. The girls worked really hard

throughout the day and can be commended for their excellent team work and sportsmanship. Our boys team lead by Brian Geach beat Tuggeranong Southern Cross convincingly in their first match and went on to have a nail biter against Winnunga Warriers who got up by one in the dying seconds. The Cooma boys came up against U/19s Ginnindera Rats in their third match and were able to hold them to a six point lead which was outstanding against the older boys. The Cooma team went into the playoff for first and second with great fatigue due to the lack of substitute players. With an injury to Andreas Kopecky-Geach leaving the team with five players they went down 4333 in the grand final. The boys received runners up medals from basketball legends

Carl and CJ Bruton and three of our boys were named tournament MVPS receiving shirts; Will Deane, Andreas Kopecky-Geach and Reis Sopniewski. Congratulations to all the Cooma players on a well-played tournament. Thanks again to our wonderful local businesses who sponsored the fabulous new playing attire. Our teams looked and felt the part and were proud to represent Cooma Condors. We are looking forward to welcoming Carl Bruton to Cooma to run a two-day basketball camp for our juniors in the September/ October School holidays. Cost will be $100 per player. More details to follow. A new ladies competition will be starting in Term 3 suitable for all ages 13-99 years-players of any standard are encouraged. If you are interested in participating please phone Kari Ingram on Ph. 0419932978.

BUSHPIGS The boys went down 13-17 against Boorowa in very wet and cold conditions. We were forced to play with only 14 men from 30 mins to go due to injuries and fought back hard to be whiskers away from snatching the victory. The boys have bye next week before facing off against Harden in Jindabyne to keep their finals hopes alive.

Paddy Pallin Junior Cross Country Ski Event Snow, sunshine and smiles were the order of the day for the Paddy Pallin Junior cross country ski event held on Saturday 2 July 2016 at the Perisher cross country trails. Thirty four participants, ranging in age from 15 months to 16 years, competed over varying distances from 30 metres to two kilometres. An abundance of groomed trails allowed for different courses for different ages all within view of the enthusiastic spectators. As the oldest

cross country ski event still being held in Australia, it was wonderful to see a broad spectrum of abilities and ages, including a number of participants who are the second generation of previous Paddy Pallin junior competitors. The traditional lunch of hot dogs, fruit drinks and fruit was enjoyed by all competitors and helpers post event at the Nordic Shelter, followed by the presentation of certificates and spot prizes, which were

generously donated by Paddy Pallin. For the final event of the day, the children were organised into teams of varying ages for the jelly snake hunt on skis, with the winning team coming away with a hefty handful of jelly snakes to share amongst themselves! The Paddy Pallin Junior organisers extend many thanks to the sponsors, parents and friends who helped make it such a successful and enjoyable day.

Special thanks to Paddy Pallin for providing the great spot prizes, hotdogs, drinks and jelly snakes, the Perisher Supermarket for providing the bread rolls, Wiffens Canberra for the fruit, Leslie and Peter for accommodating the event at the Nordic Shelter and all of the helpers who assisted with many tasks to ensure the event was a great success.

Play in the Handicap Pairs will commence next Saturday July 9 and continue each weekend until completed. The following will tell you who your partner is, your pairs handicap (in brackets) and who you play first round. Dress is Mufti for all games, which will be three bowl, 21 ends. A pre-game $6 snack will be available from 12 o’clock on the first Saturday. M Storta and P Harris (7) v Bye. T Gray and M Mayhew (9) v C Roberson and M Butler (9); P Cannell and M Mannile (8 ½) v G Venables and M Frezza (7); P Marsicano and K Rees (9 ½) v P Caldwell and B Douglass (7 ½); S Roncelli and D Jarvis (10 ½) v M Buckley and S Lapham (7 ½); B Seears and S Litchfield (11) v D Clough and A Crowe (7); W Lodge and R Lahy (7) v G Taylor and C Mould (9 ½); J Barnes and D Collins (11 ½) v I Mondello and W Flynn. (9 ½). Two more games in minor singles were completed last Wednesday with Bob Douglass playing Mario Frezza for a spot in the final and Peter Harris playing Mike Mannile for a place in the semi final The first 12 ends in the Mannile/ Harris encounter was very even with Mike holding a slender 8/7 lead. Mike upped the tempo for the next nine ends to lead 17/13 and was further rewarded with four shots on end 22. This proved the turning point of the match with Peter only scoring once more, whilst Mike gained the necessary ten shots over five ends for a 31/16 win to move into the semi final. In the other match Bob Douglass held a handy 11/7 lead over Mario Frezza after 11 ends. Mario won five of the next seven ends to have the match even at 13/13. Ten ends to one in Mario’s favour put him in front 27/15 and it seemed all over but Bob had other ideas and commenced a run with a series of

long ends which yielded him 11 shots and had the match even at 28/28. Unfortunately for Bob he was unable to gain the necessary three shots which went to Mario on ends 39 and 40. A truly memorable encounter. Only 11 social bowlers on Wednesday with Judy Locker playing Swinging Lead for Mary Phillips and Ron Gammon and for Mary Boller and Bob Lahy. Judy, Mary and Ron scored 12 shots over the first five ends to lead 12/3 over Judy, Mary and Bob. This greatly encouraged them and they went on to win 25/11. Max Butler, Ken Rees and Leonie Snell looked like running away with their match with Russell Fox, Mick Mayhew and Renate Winckel until Russell, Mick and Renate scored four shots on 11 to trail by just one shot. It was even going from then to 19 with the scores 15/15. Leonie’s team gained two shots on the last end to win 17/15. A feature of the semi-final of minor singles played on Saturday between Peter Marsicarno and Mike Mannile was the number of ends decided by just one shot, (9 to Peter and 14 to Mike) of the 36 ends played. Peter was first to score and held a small lead early before going on to lead 17/10 on end 18. At that point Mike started to reduce the deficit and by end 27 had the scores even at 20/20 and on end 30 at 22/22. Nine shots to two over the concluding ends put Mike into the final 31/24. Twelve players for social bowls on Saturday with Ken Rees, Cheryl Meillon and Geoff Venables opposing Bob Lahy, Mary Obermaier and Olga Jebbink and Max Butler, Dale Collins and Renate Winckel doing battle with Sergio Roncelli, Mary Phillips and Maureen D’Amico. Bob, Mary and Olga dominated Ken, Cheryl and Geoff by keeping them on three shots for nine ends whilst they advanced to 22. Ken, Cheryl and Geoff then returned

favour by allowing their opponents only one more shot but could not make up the leeway and went down 19/23. Sergio, Mary and Maureen were right on target against Max, Dale and Renate to lead 19/1 after just seven ends. Max, Dale and Renate came home strongly but failed to get first place, going down 17/24. The final of the minor singles on Sunday started out in true final standard with Mike Mannile gaining a small advantage over Mario Frezza to lead 12/8 on 11. Mario then made a move and the scores were 14/14 on end 14 and 17/17 on 17. Five ends to Mike took him to the lead again at 27/17. Mario kept him on that score to reach 21/27 on 25. Four shots on 26 to Mike gave him the minor singles for this year, 31/21. Congratulations to both players for an entertaining game. Again 12 players for social bowls on Sunday. Rowen Venables, Max Butler and John Schoon had the edge on Dale Collins, Don Jarvis and Kim Weston to lead 10/5 on eleven. At that point the arithmetic of the scorer seems to have favoured Dale, Don and Kim to show a card victory of 22/17 to Rowen, Max and John. Sometimes in bowls the unexpected occurs and a team scores eight shots with their nine bowls. Ken Rees, Renate Winckel and Mark Buckley achieved this against Olga Jebbink, Guilio D’Amico and Paul Cannell in their triples game. From that point Olga, Guilio and Paul matched it with their opponents to go down fighting 13/22. A very well attended meeting of the men’s club on Sunday morning discussed the options if other clubs in the District decided not to re-affiliate with RNSWBA. The general opinion seemed to favour affiliation with the Royal and play in the Far South Coast District or join the ACT. Time will tell.

USTSWIM and YMCA NSW join forces on water safety Water safety is the big winner in a new strategic partnership announced this week between AUSTSWIM and YMCA NSW. The organisations will work together to advocate for and promote swimming and water safety across NSW and the ACT. Between 2002 and 2015, there were a total of 128 drowning deaths in children under five years of age in NSW. AUSTSWIM will provide swimming and water safety teacher training and staff development in YMCA NSW’s 22 swimming centres to ensure that all participants are taught by instructors who are accredited to the highest quality aquatic education standards. YMCA NSW is one of the largest providers of swimming lessons across NSW and the ACT. Each week, around 16,000 children participate in swimming and water safety programs at YMCA NSW facilities. YMCA NSW CEO Leisa Hart said the partnership will mean even higher quality instruction in its programs. “We are delighted to enter into this strategic partnership with AUSTSWIM, an organisation whose values are closely aligned with ours around the importance of teaching essential water safety and

swimming skills to the highest standard. “We look forward to working with AUSTSWIM to provide best practice training to all children involved in our learn-to-swim programs.” AUSTSWIM has long been recognised as the leader in aquatic teacher training in Australia and last year, in a world-first, attained ISO17024 accreditation for its swimming and water safety education programs. AUSTSWIM CEO Jennifer Schembri-Portelli said this international accreditation gave consumers the confidence of knowing that AUSTSWIM-trained teachers were accredited to the highest standard. She welcomed the new agreement with YMCA NSW and said it presented an excellent opportunity for the two organisations to work closely to promote safer aquatic participation through high quality education programs and advocacy. YMCA NSW is a not-for-profit organisation committed to connecting people to their communities to live healthier and happier lives. YMCA NSW delivers services in more than 100 locations across NSW including camps, before and after school care, community recreation and sporting facilities, swimming pools and youth services.

World Refugee Day The local organisation, Youth for Global Peace organised an eight a side soccer team that represented Cooma for the first time, in the Refugee Soccer tournament held in Canberra on Sunday. Mr Daud, president of Youth for Global Peace said: “Six soccer teams representing various people groups including Karen, South Sudanese, Sierra Leone, Vietnam, Somalia and an all star team from various backgrounds took part in the friendly, yet spirited soccer matches throughout the day”. The Cooma soccer team, a mix of Somalis, Australians and a Vietnamese player, began with a convincing 3-0 win against the Karen team. Next game was against South Sudan which was a tougher match and the boys equalled the skill of the South Sudanese in a 2-2 draw. After a short break Cooma played and won against

the all star team and surprising everyone, including themselves, advanced to a thrilling grand final against Sierra Leone who played with exceptional skill throughout the tournament. Despite 5 players fasting due to Ramadan, the Cooma team were determined to play well and at full time a 0-0 result meant a penalty shootout that saw Sierra Leone sharpshooters prevail and win the 2016 Refugee Day Champions trophy. The Cooma team took home the runners up trophy on a day that brought various people groups together and celebrated humanity through a common interest sport. A hopeful offshoot of the event will be organising a weeknight indoor soccer and hopefully volleyball game planned to be played at the multi purpose sports hall belonging to the Snowy Mountains Christian School

who provided use of the hall in the lead up to the World Refugee Day event. Yvi Henderson, the volunteer Project Officer explained that Youth for Global Peace aims to promote cultural understanding through sport and other school and community activities. “Next we will organise Learn-toSwim lessons for people from culturally and linguistically diverse background. We live in a country surrounded by water and water safety education is very important especially when you never had the chance to learn how to swim.” If you are 15 years and older and interested in playing indoor soccer or volleyball one night a week or would like to learn-to-swim, please register your interest at y4gp. org@gmail.com.

Big crowd welcomes heritage round at Cooma Left: First Grade Dean Blyton Right: Fillies Lara Hansford

Fillies Round 12 quickly approached for the rebuilding Cooma Fillies as they took on top of the ladder holders the Bombala High Heelers in the 2016 Cooma Heritage Round at the Cooma Showground on Saturday. Both teams showed off their strengths the best they could. Bombala showing off why they are on top with some quick tries against the girls, but the girls didn’t give up; as Anna, Alicia, Ash, Yaz and Lan put their well-trained defensive line into action. The girls also showed off their attacking skills with some good runs by Keyara, Katey, Liv, Jess, Lara and Kelsey. The girls even managed to hold the High Heelers to three drop outs to the girls at one point, leaving the girls with a half time score of 14-0. Cooma kicked off the second half; which backfired with a quick try from Bombala within the first set of possession. This still didn’t stop our young Fillies with a sneaky kick by Katey to the corner that put Erin over the line. An unlucky hard sideline kick sadly missed by Ash just meant the girls had to push a little harder. The girls kept working hard as the strong High Heelers attacking sets pushed the girls harder and harder, but in the end the High Heelers proved why they are in the position they are on the ladder with a win over the girls 22-4. Despite the lose the girls are all very happy with their efforts and how they played as a team and had fun. Next week the girls have two games as Cooma United heads down to the Dog Pound for some tough games against both Merimbula-Pambula Bulldogs and Candelo-Bemboka United. The Cooma Fillies would like to thank everyone who came out to support them and the Heritage Round; and especially the Cooma United Committee for such a successful day. Stallions First Grade The Cooma Stallions first grade defeated the Bombala Blue Heelers 54-12 to put them in second place on the ladder. The Stallions opened the scoring early through new recruit Karlos Filiga who beat the line to score near the posts making the conversion easy for Astin Nunan. A penalty off a high tackle just minutes later gave Cooma a repeat set for Dean Blyton to score in the corner. Nunan again added the extras to see Cooma out to an early 12-0 lead. Cooma dominated the ruck and were solid in defence, with Bombala running one out and looking flat until some poor ball control gave the visitors an opportunity deep in Cooma’s half. The Blue Heelers capitalised and scored under the posts with a successful conversion bringing the score to 12-6. The game was evenly poised with both teams’ forwards bashing it up the middle until Bombala broke through with another try under the posts. A Cooma knock on saw Bombala keen to capitlise on their momentum but solid defence from the home team forced an error and allowed them to take back

control of the game. Dean Blyton made a solid break up the sideline but the Bombala defence held out until continued pressure saw Filiga cross for his second try of the day. Nunan’s conversion was successful and his form with the boot continued when he nudged a 40-20 to give Cooma another attacking opportunity just before half time. Bombala could not hold the Stallions out and Nunan scored and added the extras himself to take the home side to a 24-12 lead at half time. Cooma displayed their best second half of football of the season applying pressure and maintaining solid line speed throughout. Corey Thomas linked up with his brother Blayne to open the scoring and a successful conversion took them to 30-24. Solid defence forced the Bombala team to slip in to poor discipline and the Stallions ran away with the match piling on five unanswered tries. Captain coach Todd Williams was impressed with the way his team performed and said he is very encouraged going in to the last few rounds of the season. “It was tremendous. The second half was fabulous,” he said. That’s the first full second half we’ve put together all year. The line speed really picked up and the talk was up.” He also mentioned that despite the impressive performance there are things that need addressing. “We need to work on not dropping off and giving ball control. We can’t drop off against a team like Moruya,” he said. Next week the Stallions will play Merimbula for the wash out round before taking on Bega. Williams said he is close to having his best team available and some players are still pushing for selection putting the Stallions in a strong position heading towards the business end of the season. Stallions Reserves In a vital game for the reserves on Sunday they were matched against the Strong Bombala Side who were placed one point above them in the competition ladder. The Stallions started strongly posting as converted try in the opening minutes but as has been the norm, they switched Off allowing the opposition to post three unanswered tries, giving them a 18 to six lead. To the Stallions credit they struck back with two tries just before half time leaving the game in the balance at 18-14 . The second half had both teams establishing leads with the Stallions holding a slender two-point advantage with five minutes remaining. As has happened several times this year the opposition were able to score right on fulltime to secure a victory. This was a highly entertaining game that the home side again can feel a little unlucky not to have come away with the win.

Two out of three ain’t bad for Bombala Heelers

High Heelers - Chloe Murphy. On Saturday the 2nd of July the Bombala District Blue Heelers Teams headed up to Cooma to participate in round 12 of the group 16 Rugby League competition. High Heelers It took the High Heelers just four minutes to put points on the board through Kayley Keavey out wide to the right. A few minutes later Patrice Clear shimmied through as well to add to the lead. A well-executed inside ball from Patrice Clear to Keiarna Rodwell straightened up the attack enough for her to break the defensive line and take the score to 14-0 at half time. It seemed the Heelers came back out firing when Lucy Sellers would claim points off the first set of six; Keiarna Rodwell put through a very well executed high ball to which Lucy chased down with great pace and skill, managing to ground the ball. Only three minutes later quick hands would eventually see the ball spread from one side of the field to the other catching the fillies outnumbered where Amy Stone would score out wide on the left. However the rest of the second half would be a well fought battle as the High Heelers tried various different combinations on the field giving all their girls a good run. The fillies would eventually capitalise on good field possession, chipping over the Heelers defensive line to gain a four-pointer close to the sticks. The High Heelers would still take the win convincingly at 22-4. Players player and three points went to the formidable Lucy Sellers (sponsored by Bendoc Park Poll Herefords), two points went to Georgie Clarke (sponsored by Monaro Post) whose was a force to be reckoned with in both attack and defence and one point went to Abbey Kimber (sponsored by J & J Exterior and Interior Designs) who proved consistent in both attack and defence. Reserve Grade The Bombala Reserve Grade boys were determined to step up after their disappointing loss last week. With Captain Clay Stewart back on the field, the direction of the boys seemed well structured. The leader board would ebb and flow in both directions throughout the game with tries to Paul Gimbert, Alex Rosten, Ben Mooney and Clay Stewart, the boys would take the sheds at half time with a six point lead at 24-18. Just five minutes into the second half Brett Thompson would also score his own four-pointer. However the next 20 minutes were

With only minutes until the final bell it was Ben Mooney who would save the day for the Bombala team scoring the match winning try, with Clay Stewart’s conversion the score would end up in the Heelers favour 34-30. Players player and three points went to Ben Mooney (sponsored by Village Ford) whose skill and talent is a welcomed addition to the Heelers team, two points went to work horse Matthew Stone (sponsored by Monaro Post) who showed great consistency throughout the game and one point went to Brett Thompson (sponsored by Cottrell Motors) who not only scored a great try but showed solid defence. First Grade The Bombala boys played a very well respected first 40 minutes of football. Cooma would score two quick tries within the first 10 minutes but Bombala would strike back just as hard and fast. Saimoni Biaukula would make a bustling run where Tyler Jones would use fancy feet to beat more defenders, his offload was then eventually picked up by Malcolm Stone to score close to the sticks. Minutes later Paul Perkins would think quick to dash from dummy half and muscled his way over also close to the sticks. With the scores locked at 12-12, the next 10 minutes proved a tough contest with big hits and tight defence from both teams. Eventually Cooma would run in two more quick tries before half time, taking the score to 24-12. The Bombala lads would take the field in the second half only to face a barrage of attack from the home team. The eventual score would end up 54-12 in favour of the home team. Players Player went to Luke Ingram (sponsored by J & J Racing) whose return to the team provided a great lift, he proved formidable in both attack and defence. Three points went to workhorse Murray Jackson (P & B Joseph), who continuously put his body on the line and kept throwing his

hand up for more work. Two points went to the elusive Tyler Jones (H & D Jones) who not only showed his usual great class in attack but who also showed admirable defence. 1 point was shared between Malcolm Stone (Sponsored by Southern Stockyards and Fencing) who continues to help lead this Bombala team by example endlessly working hard, and Paul Perkins (MCH Welding) whose absence from the field in the second half due to injury was notable, with his great ability

Bombala junior footballers enjoy Narooma U7 Thank you Narooma for putting on the warm weather.. Under 7’s played two games this weekend, our first game they showed up, pulled it out and went try for try. Henry, Torin, Cody, Joey and Ashton all scored for our team. They’ve been working hard at training and this week it showed that it’s all starting to sink in. Our second game was a friendly game but they were a little bigger and our boys were a little tired from our first game. Congratulations to Torin Hillyer who was our Milo Man of The Match this week. Coach Louise Wright U8 This week saw the under 8s take on a well drilled Narooma side. With a few players short due to flu season and a thing in the sky called a sun the under 8s started off with all guns blazing with Josh Tellis opening the scoring account with one of his three individual tries that he racked up over the game. Max Power who week in and week out always impresses the crowed with his never say die runs and his rock solid defence. Tanner Hurley also tackled all day like little champion and turned the opposition inside out with her dazzling foot work which earned her a great try. Ari Sten once again led his troops to battle with the highest tackle count and Fred Merritt with the highest hit ups all day. Although beaten six tries to four the side never gave up a played a great game till the last minute. This week’s milo player of the match went to Gracie (possum) Brownlie who always gives a 100 percent each week with her great work ethic with her strong runs and tackling. Well done kids. Coach Rolly Skellern U9 Great effort from each and every player that turned up with a big smile and ready to play footy. The Devils were strong no doubt about that, scoring early in the game. That did not dampen our players spirits at all. Big Strong runs from Lachlan, Tait, Xander, Arlen, Bridie, Jacko and Jack gave us some great metres on the field. Finn, Alex, Blake, Heidi, Tom, Tyler all played very well with some great tackling done by all players, some new positions this week and each player made the most of it continually trying their best. We had two players taken off field due to injuries thoughout the game, Arlen Hillyer and Xander Paynter, both boys are doing fine now. Well done U9s every week your defence, attack and team

work continues to improve. The week’s Milo player of the match went to Lachlan Reed. Coach Drew and Des Girls League Tag This week our girls faced a very strong Narooma side. With our team down some key players we were left with only 10 girls who went out on the field and played 40 minutes with absolute guts. Our defence was strong at times but when weak Narooma quickly took advantage. However each girl that was out there on Saturday should be so proud of how they played. Our Powerade player of the match was Shauna Keevey, she played so strongly and this was just deserved. Coach Louise fillin for Emma U14s We didn’t get a win but again the boys come out with confidence and pride to wear the Blue Heelers jersey. Missing some key players this week we had Jack Ventry and Jack Stevenson step up from the u12s. Thank you boys. Chance Westaway and Bryson Phillips-Jones dominated with both boys scoring points and topping the tackle count, Chance with a great runaway try. With a week off this week for school holidays we will be ready for the Bega Carnival the following and a trip to Sydney for State of Origin 3 have a great time boys.

Canberra City defeated Simon Stephen aces the 17th Cooma played host to Canberra city on a beautiful Saturday which promised to be a great game after the fiery meeting last time around. A quick start saw Matty Bruce put a beautiful ball through for Zac to put him one on one with the goal keeper which he put over the bar. Canberra city put up a typical long ball not long after, it fell to a city forward who crossed to an unmarked team mate in the box and he slotted it home to put the visitors up 0-1. It didn’t take long for Cooma to pounce back with great link up play in the middle through Lance Redmond, Oscar and Jake Schoon playing it in to Matty B who cooly touched it to Zac to put it in the back of the net for 1-1. Cooma piled on the pressure after the goal and got another one shortly after with a great ball through from Oscar Schoon to Zac to make it 2-1. Canberra city hit back with another goal making it 2-2. Late in the second half a bit of magic from Jake Schoon saw him beat a player then smack a ball from 25 yards out into the top corner with no chance for the keeper to save, something crowd favourite Serdan Bircan would of been proud of. Cooma got another just before half time to make it 4-2 at the break. It looked like city gave up after the break with Cooma dominating the first 15 slotting another two goals. The ‘Kurdish Warrior’ Serdan Bircan was keen to get on the score sheet,

pushing up when possible but just couldn’t seem to score. The competitions leading goal scorer Cam ‘golden boot’ Mackintosh made a surging run down the wing beating two players, cutting inside, beating another then smacking it in the back of the net. Late on Oscar Schoon put the nail in the coffin scoring a goal after a beautiful assist from Zac Schoon. Final score 8-2 to Cooma. Cooma sit in second place on the ladder just one point behind ANU. With five games to go, the Tigers are looking for the minor premiership. The players would like to thank all of the supporters for coming down and cheering the team on! Training day Last Saturday our Under 18 Premier League squad, travelled from Canberra to Nijong oval for a special five hour training session conducted by Mr Nic Tonini who has taken over the reins as coach after the departure of Mr Rob Graham. In addition to the under 18 NPL squad, three of our under 16 div 3 boys and one of our div2 women’s player also took part. The training was very intense physically and was targeted to highlight the fitness and endurance required to be able to play a ninety minute match in the Premier League. A big thank you to Nic, Michael and Shane, a special thanks to all the parents who helped with the food preparation.

Simon retrieving his ball after his impressive Hole in One on the 17th. After a number of years of playing the Hole in One Nest Egg, Simon Stephen played the perfect shot (from all reports had a little help) holing out on the 17th, taking home a very healthy nest egg. His playing partners wouldn’t repeat what he said when he saw the ball disappear. Congratulations, Simon, all thrilled for you, well done! Saturday Members played a Stableford for L. Jones Trophy.
