THE NEWSPAPER OF THE SNOWY MONARO REGION

L’Etape - le locals...

Many local residents joined the fun of the L’Etape Australia in the region last Saturday. While some completed the ‘ride’ others, more competitive, took on the field in the ‘race’. Along the route, residents decorated fences, etc, and cheered the riders along their way. Pictured, John Sim from the Cooma Cycle Club, gives a wave as he completes the sprint section in Myack Street, Berridale. See pages 57 and 58 for more.

SNOWLINER TRAVEL The Way To Go

POLO FLAT RD, COOMA PH: 6452 1584 www.snowlinertravel.com.au

After 25 years, Betty Mattner (AM) has retired from her volunteer work at St Vincent de Paul. Bet has been involved in many community organisations over the years, including the Cooma Hospital Auxiliary, nursing home, the Royal Blind Society, Challenge Foundation, the Catholic church, Tidy Town, Girl Guides Association and the Committee for Vietnamese Refugees. She also delivered Meals on Wheels for 45 years, holding the position of president for 30 years. A councillor for 12 years and on the board of Monaro Electricity for 12 years, Betty has certainly served her community well. She was even recognised for it with an Australia Medal that was presented to her by Governor General Keenes in 1997. Bet and her husband Dick moved to the construction camp at Tantangara in 1958 from South Australia. Dick had been offered a position as an engineer for the Snowy Scheme. From there they lived at the Island Bend camp and then in Jindabyne. Bet loved her time living in the mountains. Although it was very basic, the community was close and they all looked out for one another. Bet had her three boys while she was living at the camps. It was in 1967 that they moved to Cooma. Bet found the separation between the Snowy workers and the Cooma townsfolk distressing and became involved in Pine Lodge, a home for disabled people. This allowed her to become involved in the town, away from the Snowy community. Her time at Vinnies has been full of laughter and fun times. Bet used to take loads of clothes home to wash and iron, ready for the store. She also used to run street stalls and even theatre nights, where they would show films with a supper during the interval. She remembers that the first one they did was ‘The King and I’ and she remembers everyone who came along laughed and laughed.

Now at 88 years old, Bet has decided to retire from St Vinnies. “I have loved my time working at St Vinnies, meeting some kind and generous people,� she says. “I would like to thank all the volunteers I have worked with over the years. I have made some great friendships and have many happy memories. I will really miss it.� “I have had a wonderful life,� says Bet. “I have met great people and I have done lots of travelling. If the Lord took me tomorrow, I wouldn’t have any complaints.�

Snowy Hydro ‘up in the air’ about sponsorship The region’s iconic helicopter rescue service, Snowy Hydro Southcare, is likely to change its image after March, as Snowy Hydro seems to have lost it naming rights sponsorship. A spokesperson for Snowy Hydro said “Snowy Hydro has sponsored the Southcare rescue helicopter for over 15 years, since its inception, and we’ve been incredibly proud of our contribution to date which has been in excess of $7 million. Our staff and the community are passionate about the service and there are many tireless volunteers who raise money for the vital service. “We have been in lengthy discussions with the SouthCare Trust and recently with the ACT Government about maintaining our sponsorship, including arrangements to extend it for another five years. Despite our best efforts, our sponsorship will expire on March 31, 2017 and

we have not been provided with a way forward beyond that. “We have nothing but positive words for the outgoing Trust Board and we remain extremely proud of our long standing contribution to the community through this initiative. We wish the service all the very best and trust the new, improved rescue helicopters coming into service on April 1, will continue to provide a high level of service to the region�. New CEO, Carol Bennett, has also issued a statement in which she said SouthCare will continue to be the primary provider of aeromedical and rescue helicopter services to the people of the ACT and south-eastern NSW region. She said “in April 2017, there will be a change of contractors for the helicopter from the Canadian Helicopter Company (CHC) to Toll. “The new Agusta Westland 139 helicopter will replace the current Bell 412 which has been instrumental in creating the life-

saving legacy of the helicopter over the past 18 years, saving over 6,800 lives. This new helicopter will operate out of the current base in Hume, Canberra. “The new helicopter will have increased power and performance with the capacity to provide an even better service to the ACT and south-eastern NSW community. “We are grateful for the ongoing community support of our rescue helicopter service and will continue to provide funds for the operation. All sponsorship arrangements are currently under negotiation�.

Tour de Cure helps MCCR The Monaro Committee for Cancer research has been an unexpected beneficiary of the Tour de Cure, associated with last weekend’s L’Etape Australia. Tour de Cure was seeking a non-profit, research organisation to make a donation to and the MCCR was able to finalise a submission in time for consideration. President Sandy Schofield said the committee quickly put together an application in conjunction with Cooma Hospital, which was delivered on Friday afternoon. The group was contacted on Saturday morning and asked to be present for a presentation in Thredbo on Saturday evening.

The cheque was accepted by former president, Sue Litchfield, on behalf of the committee. The $10,000 donation will go towards the extension of the oncology unit at Cooma Hospital. Mrs Litchfield said the donation

The regional NSW tourism industry is set to benefit from a massive funding injection of $13 million with the state government launching the new Regional Tourism Fund. The announcement was made during a visit to Beloka Water at Dalgety by the Minister for Tourism Stuart Ayres and the Member for Monaro and Deputy Premier John Barilaro. The two ministers inspected the Beloka Water operation on Paupong Road before unveiling the new fund. Both ministers congratulated Beloka chairman Joe Commisso and his staff on the local venture that now distributes its bottled water into overseas markets. Mr Ayres said the fund offers operators two different programs for marketing and product development support replacing the previous Contestable Regional Visitor Economy Fund (RVEF). “Tourism is going from strength to strength in regional NSW with the highest absolute growth in visitors recorded across regional Australia, up by 1.2 million visitors and 4.5 million nights. This fund will provide a welcome boost to our operators,” Mr Ayres said. “We’ve made the $13 million fund

available to 2019, an increased investment of $2.5 million into the regional visitor economy on a matched dollar-for-dollar basis. “From grants to assist with infrastructure and accommodation projects to delivering marketing campaigns aimed at driving overnight visitation, this fund will support even more projects, stimulating tourism across regional NSW and create more jobs.” The Regional Tourism Fund is available to local government, tourism and industry sector organisations as well as the six Destination Networks, with the product development program also available to tourism operators. Destination NSW Chief Executive Officer Sandra Chipchase said unlike the old RVEF, the Regional Tourism Fund will be open year-round. “Our new Fund will be open to receive applications at any time, offering simplified online forms, broader assessment criteria and quicker assessment processes,” Ms Chipchase said. “I encourage the regional tourism industry to take advantage of this vital funding opportunity, designed to lure more visitors to some of the Australia’s most beautiful and memorable destinations across our diverse state.”

Cooma University Centre hosts open day

CUC Manager Zoe Dawson and Coordinator Shannon Payton-McDonald with Naomi Cross and her son Alvian Pereboeff, who going into his HSC year and looking at options for studying IT once graduating.

Current CUC students Naomi McCamish and Stephen Nelson. The Cooma University Centre (CUC) hosted an open day last week, inviting the community to come and take a look at the facility. The event was an opportunity for people to come and ask questions, get to know the staff and see what you can actually do at the centre. This was the first open day held at the CUC, thanks to Coordinator Shannon Payton-McDonald. “I thought, every other university holds an open day for potential students to take a look and get a real understanding of how things

work, so I thought why not do one ourselves.� A few current students attended the open day, giving potential students an insight into what it is like to study via distance at the CUC. Naomi McCamish of Cooma is currently studying a Bachelor of Nursing full time through the centre. Spending some time at the Charles Sturt University campus in Dubbo, Naomi said she still relied heavily on the staff at CUC for assistance. “It really is a great support centre,� she says. Stephen Nelson is studying engineering

part time as a back up for when he is unable to continue the physical side of his current job as a builder. Stephen says that if it weren’t for the CUC, he wouldn’t have pursued the degree. “It’s a great place to come for peace and quiet,� he says. “With little kids at home, it’s very hard to concentrate. The computer facilities here are also excellent and it’s just a friendly, relaxed environment. It feels just like coming to school, you get to see all your mates and have a chat. I would be lost without it.� Some Monaro High School students also

attended the open day, to explore it as an option for when their HSC is complete. With 35 students enrolled through the centre during this last semester, the centre continues to grow from strength to strength. Next year will see Young roll out their new centre, using Cooma as their model. Broken Hill also has a working committee in place, with the aim to start up their own university centre in the new year. There are four other rural locations across the country that are currently in communication about establishing a centre in their regions also.

Administrator’s Column Last weekend saw the Region once again play host to an array of exciting events. The much anticipated inaugural event L’Etape similar to the Tour de France and the biggest outside of France, L’Étape Australia was held on Saturday 3 December. Not only a first for the Snowy Mountains, but the first time a Tour de France event has ever been held in Australia. On behalf of Snowy Monaro Regional Council, I would like to thank all L’Étape volunteers and town coordinators who worked extremely hard to ensure the event ran smoothly. Congratulations to all the riders who braved the challenging course, we look forward to seeing you next year! It was lovely to see each community embrace the event whole heartedly, each town looked great with all the decorations along the 160k route. Locals lined the roads and cheered the riders on in true Tour de France fashion, the vibe was described as electric. Feedback received by the community has been positive, with event organisers and riders themselves saying how welcomed they felt and how the cheering spurred them on, especially on the gruelling hill climb stages. In its 24th year the Cooma Cup and Sundowner Cup Cooma Races was also very successful and continues to gain popularity. Race-goers made their way down to the track for a great day of punting and socialising. Decked out and dolled up in their finery, looking elegant and glamorous, fashions of the field did not disappoint. The Region has been a hive of activity over the last month and this is set to continue throughout summer, with event calendars filling up fast leading into 2017. Including the Cannonball Mountain Bike Festival in Thredbo and Fly Fishing Season opens this week. There is something for everyone, all year round, in the Snowy Monaro Region!

Celebrating 50 years as a Lion Bill Keefe celebrates his 50th birthday as a Lion this year. First joining as a one of 36 charter members of the Jindabyne Lions Club in 1966, Bill has been a committee member and even president of several clubs. The community involvement, helping people and the friendships formed are the things that kept Bill an active member of the Lions Club for the past 50 years. Bill’s career in the police force meant that he and his family travelled all over the state for his postings. “Joining the various local Lions Clubs was a good way of being included in the community when we moved to a new place,” says Bill. It was in 1956 that Bill came to Cooma and met Margaret. They married in 1958 and moved to Cabramurra in 1960. After two and a half years, Bill was then stationed at the Snowy Scheme construction town of Bella Vista. They then moved to Corryong before arriving in Jindabyne in 1966. Invited by friends to join the club, Bill says that to his knowledge, he is the only remaining charter member of the Jindabyne Lions Club that is still involved in Lions. In 1968 Bill and his family moved to Catherine Hill Bay, south of Newcastle. Here he joined the Belmont Lions Club where he was involved with the committee and was also president. Four years later they

moved to West Wallsend and joined the Cardiff Lions Club, where again, Bill spent 12 months as president and held positions on the committee. Bill says one difference he noticed about these Newcastle clubs was how formal their events were. Most dinners were black tie, a far cry of how things are done in the country. One project that still makes Bill laugh was during his time with the Cardiff club. The job was to do some plumbing for a disabled woman. The Lions had to go under the house to hook water up to the bathroom. With four terrier dogs, the woman was not able to keep up with cleaning up after them all. Each of the Lions had to take it in turns to go under the house, wearing masks to cope with the smell, laughing as they went. In 1978 the family made another move to Leeton in the Riverina where Bill joined the Yanco Lions Club, again becoming president and joining the committee.

In 1988, Bill retired and he and Margaret returned to Cooma, transferring to the Cooma Lions Club, of which he is still a member today. “Cooma would have to be one of the busiest clubs in terms of the number and the scale of projects they are working on,” says Bill. “The Lions Park on Yallakool

Road is a particularly big project that Cooma is currently working on. It will be a great asset to the town once it is finished.” “It doesn’t matter where you go, Lions is always about the assistance to the community.” Bill says he plans on remaining a Lions member for the foreseeable future.

Reverend Robert Lindbeck departs the Anglican Parish of the southern Monaro Anglican parishioners and members of the community will farewell Revered Bob and Judith Lindbeck from the Parish on Sunday December 11. Bob has been with the local parish as a part-time priest for the last year and a half. However due to ill health, he has resigned from his ministry and from the diocese.

During his time here, both Bob and Judith have made a great contribution to the parish and have made many friends. They are retiring in Canberra and will keep in touch with the community. In the meantime, Deacon Judith Holdsworth will continue ministry and pastoral care. There will also be regular

visits by visiting priests. The farewell for Bob and Judith will be held at St Matthias’ Anglican Church in Bombala with a service commencing at 10.30am on Sunday December 11. The service will be followed by a shared lunch in the Parish Hall and all are invited to join.

A mother and her three children suffered only minor injuries after their car veered off the bridge at the Cooma pumping station on Shannons Flat Road, Cooma. The accident occurred at 9am on Friday December 2. The vehicle came off the bridge and landed upside down on the bank of the Murrumbidgee River. Paramedics, police, SES and NSW Fire and Rescue attended the scene. The four passengers were transported to Cooma Hospital and a crane was used later in the day to remove the vehicle. A woman was stabbed at the Delegate Hotel on Thursday December 1. A 35-year-old man hit the 33-year-old woman, believed to be his partner, with a bottle which

smashed and cut her. It is understood that the couple were having an argument at the hotel, in which they were staying while in town working as farmhands. The man will appear before Cooma Court in a few weeks time. A small diesel spill occurred on Sharp Street, Cooma at 8.40am on Monday December 5. NSW Fire and Rescue attended and quickly cleaned up the liquid. RFS and police reported no serious incidents during the L’Etape cycling event in the region over the weekend. With many teams on standby, very few were deployed. Police would like to issue a thank you to all those involved for their cooperation and congratulations on a successful event.

The Cooma Rotary Club has donated a sum of $500 to the Hub Youth Centre to assist with the construction of a new vegetable patch. Hub coordinator Mel Sass said the young people wanted to start a garden for the purpose of growing fresh vegetables. The produce will then be used to help solve the food shortage problem locally. The addition of the vegetable garden will provide centre uses with a hands on activity

where they can learn valuable skills and be rewarded with healthy food for themselves and others. There will also be potential for the food to be contributed to the Snowy’s Place kitchen once it is established. The whole process will be carried out by the young people who are being assisted by volunteers from the community garden.

Funding secured for Nimmitabel cenotaph The NSW Government has awarded Snowy Monaro Regional Council $10,817 in funding to upgrade the Nimmitabel Cenotaph. The Leader of the NSW Nationals and Member for Monaro John Barilaro said he was delighted this project will receive funding through the inaugural NSW Government’s War Memorials Grants Program. “I’m very proud our community has received a grant to honour the bravery and sacrifice show by so many and ensure their local legacy is maintained,� said Mr Barilaro. “The Nimmitabel Cenotaph project is a fitting monument to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, and this grant will ensure it can be properly maintained. “Repairing and looking after local war

memorials is a vital part of honouring those Australian servicemen and women who sacrificed so much for our nation and it is also another way of reaching out to a new generation.� Minister for Justice Troy Grant said the NSW Nationals & Liberals Government is committed to preserving and displaying local military history for future generations. “The NSW Government is proud to help local organisations invest in wartime history, especially when it is at risk of being lost due to disrepair or vandalism,� Mr Grant said. The $1 million competitive War Memorial Grants Program was administered by Liquor & Gaming NSW in consultation with the NSW Branch of the RSL of Australia and the Office of Veterans Affairs.

Cooma Rotary Club selects RYLA participants Cooma residents Kelsei Schubert and Daud Mohamed are the 2016 recipients of the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (Rotary). The award was open to people aged 18-25 to people interested in building their leadership skills and potential. The Cooma recipients will join people from across southern New South Wales in January for a six day program at a riverside conference centre near Canberra. Topics will include leadership basics, ethics, situational leadership, confidence building and problem solving. Participatns will be given access to, and mentoring from, leaders in public sectors, NGOs and sport. Kelsei and Daud both said they are grateful recipients of the award and are looking forward to how the program can benefit them personally and professionally. Kelsei is originally from Cooma and is the Director of the Cooma Public School OOSCH. She spoke to Rotarians at last week’s meeting where she said she is appreciative of the opportunity and is looking forward to developing her leadership skills. Daud is originally from Somalia and then moved to Sydney before settling in Cooma. He works with Cooma Challenge and Workability and is the president of Youth for Global Peace Foundation based in Cooma. Incoming president Mark John-Natalie said the program is a great opportunity for young people who want to improve their leadership skills. “My daughter did it last year, it’s a great program. It teaches leadership and really puts people out of their comfort zone,” he said.

Pictured at the award ceremony last week for the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA), are incoming president Mark John-Natalie, recipient Daud Mohamed, recipient Kelsei Schubert and RYLA co-ordinator Richard Hopkins. Kelsei and Daud will join other participants at a six-day program.

Ewart’s council aspirations -

Nathan Thompson

After enduring one too many council bashing conversations, James Ewart’s aspirations to become a local councillor were sparked. It fostered an ambition to become part of the solution, and to make a difference to the region he loves. James or Boo, as most locals know him, lives in Peak

View on the family farm. With parents embedded in a host of community organisations, Boo has developed a desire to see the Snowy Monaro region prosper. Boo has his sights set on running in next year’s local council elections, where he hopes to become the youngest councillor the region has seen. For those who think the 22-year-old future councillor

James Ewart holds aspirations to become a Snowy Monaro Regional councillor.

has made this decision on a whim would be advised to attend the next council meeting. Boo regularly attends meetings of the amalgamated Snowy Monaro Regional Council, and for the last three years, meetings of the then Cooma-Monaro Shire Council. “I’ve been going to meetings since I was 19. A few heads turned when I first turned up and when I kept coming back they started to take me seriously,” Boo said. “I’m someone who has always been immersed in the community. My passion for the community stems from my parents, it’s an area I love.” “One of the main reasons I’d like to become a councillor is to see a change in the demographic on council. We need to bring a voice for the youth and the younger demographic.” Even before his possible ascension to the council ranks, Boo has helped a number of important local projects come to life. He championed the need for new cricket nets at Rotary Oval with their transformation boosting interest in local junior and senior cricket ranks. “New cricket nets is massive for sport here in Cooma. The old nets were unsafe and now kids can play in a safer area. It’s great to see,” Boo said. Another Boo-inspired initiative was the addition of lights to Cooma’s Centennial Park. The showpiece recreational space in town was a myriad of bright colours during winter, as the park became an appealing stop for many snowgoers. “I was stoked about the lights in the park. It made Cooma a much more appealing place at night. Rather than people passing through they had a reason to stop.” Boo hopes to be a voice for the people. Raising ideas and concerns to council, he is already serving as a valuable link between residents and their local government representatives. “People come up to me and ask if I can raise concerns they have to council. Come talk to me, I’d love to hear your ideas.” Top of Boo’s council wish list at the moment is what he describes as an integral project for Cooma. He would love to see the area on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River out at the Road pumping station become an s Mittagang l attraction for locals. a ci e “We need to make the river a hub. A nice bike Sp path to the river would promote being healthy in the region as people could ride and walk out there.” “I drive out there a fair bit and it’s very dangerous for people to walk.” This time next year, once Snowy Monaro council elections have been held, Boo may very well be attending meetings as a councillor.

This was followed by a barbecue that was hosted by staff and clients from Cooma Challenge and Workability.

Canberra Airport is absolutely delighted that Qatar Airways has committed to a new Doha to Canberra service next year and in 2018. Canberra Airport Managing Director, Stephen Byron, said Canberra would be Qatar Airways’ fifth destination in Australia. “We can’t think of a more suitable addition than the national capital”, Mr Byron said. “Currently, Qatar flies into Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide, and we’re expecting that the Canberra flight will arrive in the late evening to take advantage of our curfew free status”. “The fact that we don’t have a curfew means that there is enormous flexibility in airline planning. We also do not have bilateral restrictions on operating out of Canberra Airport, which makes it easier for international airlines to fly here”. “We have been talking to a range of different airlines, and always hoped that other airlines would follow

Singapore Airlines, which has been operating highly successfully since September”. “The specific details of exact flight times will be finalised with Qatar Airways in due course. We’re especially pleased that Canberra has been announced as a new destination in the same breath as Las Vegas, Dublin, Rio de Janiero and Santiago”. “Qatar Airways already serves more than 150 destinations around the world, with some of the youngest most technologically advanced fleet of Boeing 777s, Dreamliner and Airbus aircraft”. “This will mean that people in Canberra and the surrounding district will have direct access to Asia through Singapore Airlines, and to the Middle East and Europe through Qatar”. “It also means that travellers from all over the world will have the opportunity to enjoy the numerous attractions that Canberra and the surrounding district has to offer”, Mr Byron said.

Cooma Car Club’s welcome grant Snowy Monaro Regional Council’s Community Grants Program awarded the Cooma Car Club a $50,000 grant to enable the club to move into the second phase of its Museum Development program, to build a repository to store artefacts and equipment to be restored as part of the museum’s display, this is the next project following the near completion of the club rooms. The project will be in honour of one of our late Car Club members, Don Bottom. The grant, together with a bequest from Don, and $40,000 from the Car Club, will allow this part of the museum to be completed. The complex consists of club rooms which is proving to be a wonderful acquisition for the Car Club and also for the use of members of the public for a wide variety of events at reasonable rates to cover operating costs. The high quality kitchen provides a comfortable venue for catering for functions. The complex was dedicated to the citizens of the Monaro at the official opening on October 29. In addition there is a large area which was previously an indoor cricket stadium. As with the club rooms this area is now insulated and carpeted throughout. Fire protection was added this being a safety

requirement. The large area which is going to be a permanent museum, has multiple uses. For example, classic cars and an aeroplane which was donated to the Car Club are housed there plus artefacts which are not as well displayed as they should be. The club needs an area where permanent displays can be stored and a work area where artefacts can be prepared for display by members along with the many projects the club undertakes. Another part of the museum construction will be an old antique service station complete with bowsers and memorabilia dating back to the 1930’s and the club hopes to make this a tourism destination for this area. This project is going to be a great asset to the community as it is a place where members together can contribute to community. Cooma Car Club members are very grateful to all who assisted finding a practical solution to satisfy more modern building requirements and particularly to the Snowy Monaro Regional Council for granting the funds enabling a Development Application to proceed.

Cooma Lions Club is once again requesting that Cooma and district children, who want to write a letter to Santa before Christmas, write their letter and address it to “Santa at the North Pole”. Letters should be delivered to the Cooma and district post offices. No postage stamp is required; rather the Post Offices have setup “Santa’s special Post Boxes” for the letters. As it has done for many years, Cooma

Lions Club has undertaken to act as Santa’s agent to deliver the letters to the North Pole; and as in previous years, Santa will reply to the letters. Children can write whatever they like, for example they can tell Santa about their past year, and perhaps what they are hoping for as presents. The only essential requirement is that the letter includes their name, age and address.

Doors open to Cooma Multicultural Centre The doors to the Cooma Multicultural Centre (CMC) have now been open for a month, and in this time many of the region’s multicultural groups have come to call the centre home. In a first for the region, the CMC, in Mittagang Road, Cooma, provides a dedicated space for migrants and refugees settling in the Snowy-Monaro area to access vital support services. Advice and referrals are offered for issues regarding accommodation, employment, education, finance, welfare, family, health and emotional support. Cooma Multicultural Coordinator, Yvi Henderson, said a number of multicultural groups have embraced the centred as their new home for regular meetings. “It’s their place now, people

are happy to come and use the centre. Word of mouth has been powerful with many people hearing about it,” Ms Henderson said. “The MAGIC group (Multicultural Activity Group in Cooma) use the centre every Wednesday, it’s a space for them to come and run their own programs. “They now have a proper home for their group.” The centre is currently being used by the Monaro Community Growth Group Youth for Global Peace, Australian Red Cross, Volunteer English Language Group, and MAGIC. Ms Henderson is encouraging new arrivals to the region to access the centre, and take advantage of the advice and services on offer. She said the centre has a welcoming feel to it with those utilising facility enjoying the

personal feel. “The space lets me work oneon-one with people who come here for absolutely everything. It’s a starting point for people coming to town,” Ms Henderson said. “In the 10 years I’ve been a multicultural worker in town it’s been a dream for about five years to have centre dedicated to multicultural groups. “All the stars aligned and the owner of the building was more than happy to see the place used. He’s very community orientated.” In the weeks since the CMC came to fruition, the site has undergone a significant facelift. “The centre will start ideas and teach about different cultures. I hope it can spread into the community and become a space where people want to come.”

Yvi Henderson is proud of how the Cooma Multicultural Centre is developing.

A group of Jindabyne Central School (JCS) students have been given the opportunity to increase their cross cultural studies by embarking on a volunteer community and civics project in Samoa next April. Inspired by her son Oliver’s recent life changing experience on a house building mission to Cambodia, JCS teacher Heidi Shvetsoff, who recently completed a Graduate Certificate in Teaching of Asia with ANU, has set up the project so that JCS students have the opportunity to broaden their own horizons. The project will develop student’s intercultural understanding and social capability in another country. Ten students have joined the project that will enhance their understanding of the world. The students will volunteer as part of a 10 day Samoan community project through the renowned Projects Abroad that will see them visit a variety of schools working with local children in a lower socio economic community. The project will take them to: • Solosolo Primary School to participate in a Nutrition advisory role; • Ah Mu Academy to run a sport education day; • Community volunteeringconservation planting and building; • Fiamalamalma special Needs School to assist students in their daily schooling; • Knowledge exchange day with Robert Louis Stevenson High School. The group trip is a unique opportunity for the students to experience Samoan culture while giving back to the local community in a sustainable and

worthwhile way. However the program does cost money and while the students and teachers are funding their own travel costs and are staying with local families, the project is outside the normal school curriculum. So the students and teachers are working hard to raise $35 000 that is needed to fund the project and are seeking local community support. There has been plenty of interest in the project from parents and carers whose children are not yet 16. This shows future interest for these international opportunities. The success of any future programs like this at JCS are dependent on this initiative being successful so this is why the school along with the students are actively fundraising for this project. Fundraising projects include the JCS Car Boot Sale on Sunday 11 December and the JCS Volunteer Trip – Samoa GoFundMe.com/p/4kzf online campaign. The group are also looking to collect any good condition second hand T Shirts of any size and second hand books that can be dropped off at the JCS admin office. Contact the school for more information about donating or speak with the students who have joined the project; Ethan Carter, Tanika Goodman, Emily Heimann, Liam Kowalewski, Briar Metselaar, Gretal Waite, Tristan Hamilton, Bailey Merton, Breanna Arnold and Jake Clare.

Vale, Walter (Wally) Burton Mills

Former Cooma-Monaro Local Australia Day ambassador, Wally Mills, died unexpectedly three weeks ago. He was aged 77 years. He is survived by his wife Helen, sister Jenny (Perth), his children and their partners Rosalind and Ash Cook (Cooktown), Liz and Neil Williams (Canberra), Don and Kat Mills (Sydney), Jo and Tony Bakas (Canberra) and grandchildren Reef,

Lily and Jake Cook, Ella and Tash McMahon, Joshua and Maggie Mills. His funeral was held at St Paul’s Anglican Church last Saturday. His eulogy was written by former Snowy work colleague Keith Montague and delivered by another former work colleague, Eric Lesleighter. The eulogy is as follows: Helen has honoured me by asking to contribute to a eulogy for her husband Wally who passed away so suddenly last week. As I sit in my hospital bed wondering why is it so that a man with so much to offer has left us, while I continue to live on in old age. Of course there is no answer to that. I first knew Wally in 1960 when he came from Queensland as an undergraduate from Queensland University. We were working on Tumut 1 Power Station and our office was 1200 feet above the Tumut River far below, It was an incredible site office and we were extraordinarily busy. Wally came to work for me and the enthusiasm he exhibited was enormous, as he realised Electrical Engineering was to be his lot in life. He did everything that was asked of him with the utmost enthusiasm. When he resumed at the University of SHOE STORE Queensland after inservice Bombala | 6458 3152 this

training, he left with a happy heart and looked forward to completing his engineering degree. I continued on at Tumut 1, then Tumut 2 Hydro Power Stations living at Cabramurra with my family. Which was a wonderful life. But this is about Wally. When Wally returned having graduated, the SMA became his place of further learning and contributing to the outstanding engineering scheme as we know it today. He was fortunate to join System Design Branch Electrical where such men as Dr Walter Diesendorf, Dr Ken Mackley, Jack Callow and John McLean worked, who can be rightly recognised as the brains of the electrical system in the authority. Wonderful training for Wally. I was still in the field on construction for over 11 years and on my return to Cooma I became conscious of this extraordinary tall young man Wally Mills who attended the Anglican Church and was recognised as a truly committed Christian. Many in the Anglican

congregation would know him as such, they would also have seen him as a natural teacher of young people. Wally could well have entered the ministry, his knowledge of the bible was substantial and he had great pleasure in passing this on as a teacher of young people in the Anglican Parish of Cooma. Wally had a daughter Elisabeth, who was anxious to follow in her father’s footsteps as an Electrical Engineer. Although details are very sketchy to me Wally was very generous in his comments to me only a few weeks ago when he said that I had helped Elisabeth gain a cadetship with the SMA. Elisabeth has recently gone on to greater things, accepting a position of which her father would be very proud. Wally became the High Voltage Electrical Test Engineer with the Authority when considerable emphasis was being placed on the extension of the life of electrical plant. At one stage Wally transferred to SMEC and was engaged in writing electrical specifications for plant throughout South East

Champion’s

Asia. He also worked in China at Kuimunting - one of their Hydro Power Stations. It is my recollection that Wally made a work trip at his own expense to engineering organisations to further his experience. There is no doubt that Wally became a very fine Engineer. Returning to SMEC Wally was engaged on specifications for electrical hydro plant, in particular pump storage scheme’s and this interest extended into finding Australian possibilities for such deployment. At one stage there was considerable bitterness in the community on what appeared to be the desire of Snowy Hydro to sell all the assets. This was fought by the public and it was Wally who had developed considerable powers of concilliation and helped redevelop good relations between Snowy Hydro and the public. Very much due to his intervention the position has changed and Snowy Hydro to their great credit have developed a system of informing older staff that their interests are taken into consideration. At a very recent meeting between former workers and younger Snowy Engineers information was given which quite astonished older workers as to the extent of Engineering progress that was being made. It was Wally’s hope that this information be widely understood by all ex Snowy personnel. At the conclusion of the presentation Wally spoke with enormous enthusiasm and skill, showing his appreciation of Snowy Hydro’s efforts to reassure the public that they were very much interested in maintaining the plant at the highest level. The quality of this man and his various honourable features are appreciated by many. He will be greatly missed throughout the community.

Cooma Public’s busy week It has been a busy week at Cooma Public School. Last Monday Stage 3 students went to Sydney Academy of Sport and Recreation for a fun filled exciting adventurous week. We also had a visit from Orbost Secondary College Band. Students thouroughly enjoyed the interactive

performance. 2/3R and 3B had a visit from local author Richard Begbie. He spoke to us about life in colonial Australia. The students listened attentively and were fascinated with his stories of local convicts and life in 18th century Cooma.

Decorate safely this festive season

the

POST man

C A L L Postman S Good to hear that a koala has been found inside Kosi park. The lone, young, male was seen taking a bit of a stroll near the highway until he reached the safety of some trees.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And as you dust off the decorations and Christmas lights to brighten your home, it’s important to take some precautions to help your family celebrate safely this festive season. ActewAGL Branch Manager Works Delivery Clinton McAlister said it’s really important to make sure a year in storage hasn’t led to cords fraying. “Frayed cords are a safety hazard and increase the risk of electric shock.

Always check the cords on your electric decorations before use and never plug lights into broken or cracked sockets. Also be sure not to overload power boards with double adapters ‘piggy backing’ off one another. “It’s a good idea to check manufacturer’s instructions before setting up light displays or replacing lamps and globes. “Decorative lights may become hot so keep them away from children and flammable materials like wrapping paper.

“At night you can save electricity and keep safe by turning off light displays before going to bed. “When decorating the outside of your house, make sure the lights you use are suitable for outdoor use and keep the cords out of reach of children and pets. Also keep all electrical connections and transformers out of areas that may become wet.” For more information visit ActewAGL’s website actewagl.com.au/safety

CSIRO Double Helix quiz Quiz questions

Australia. There were an estimated 300 000 feral camels in Australia in 2013. True. Scientists estimate there may be 1000 billion bacteria on your skin, much more than the seven billion people on the Earth. The Achilles tendon connects your calf muscle to your heel bone. All these Australian scientists are Nobel laureates. c) A person burps and farts about two litres of gas per day.

Hopefully he is a permanent resident and hasn’t just fallen off a passing log truck. If there is one, are there some more in the area? Let’s hope so! The L’Etape event was a great success for at least the towns in the former Snowy River Shire. Those tackling the stretch from Dalgety to Jindabyne sure must have had to use every gear on their bike.

But one has to ask if it was a tad heavyhanded of the police to insist racegoers had left the area by 6pm? That sort of policing tended to spoil what was otherwise a pretty friendly, social day, well run and well supervised by the committee and the security team.

Quiz answers

The road closures caused some problems for people getting out of Berridale and Jindabyne, so maybe the organisers need to look at minimising that disruption for the next two events? Cooma races were on again on Saturday. While the crowd was down a bit and the competition with Wagga races made life difficult for trainers trying to source riders, the day went off well.

1. 2.

5.

Which country has the largest population of wild camels? True or false? There are more bacteria on your skin than there are people in the world. What is the name of the tendon connecting the calf muscle to the heel bone? What award do these Australian scientists have in common? Howard Florey, Aleksandr Prokhorov, John Eccles, Peter Doherty, John Cornforth, Frank Macfarlane Burnet, Bernard Katz and William Henry Bragg. How much gas do you release on average from your intestines each day as burps and farts? a) 0.01 litres, b) 0.1 litres, c) two litres, d) 10 litres.

RIPOSTE By Lisa Ashurst It must be the television non-ratings period. As an avid reader, this is not often an issue for me because many a night will find me curled up with a book instead of the box, but there are those times when I feel like veging with the tele and then yes, the so-so options for viewing being offered during the non-ratings period give me the willies! Other than The Block, I’m not a big fan of reality TV so the trashy reality stuff on some of the channels (who even comes up with these?) are never an option for me which is why the bland programs airing at the moment make me want to punch out the programmers. Just because it’s the off season is no excuse for churning out banal filler programs, umpteenth time repeats and general trash. People still want to watch TV regardless of the time of year! Right now I’m glad I’m a big reader because trying to find something new or decent to watch is like trying to locate the proverbial needle. There is just so much pointless fluff airing at the moment! But why is that? Sure, we’re well into the silly season but that’s not to mean that we are all too drunk or something to watch tele. Also, not everyone is off on holidays either! Some of us are still retiring to our lounge rooms in the evening in anticipation of a relaxing flop on the couch… only to find there is not a single decent program on offer, unless you are into cooking, sport or American reality imports that are so B-grade they are actually a D. Okay, I like to cook but I don’t really want to watch celebrity chefs doing their thing in some overseas location where the scenery makes a pretty

But there it is. Non-ratings period in TV Land. Lucky I guess that the days are longer and I have interesting things to do outside and then by the time I’ve showered and eaten it is more often reading time than television time anyway, unless I have a yen for a live talk-show, which I just don’t. But not everyone likes to spend their evening with their nose stuck in a book and I feel sorry for them because there sure isn’t much on offer on the box at this time of year unless they’re into tired old Christmas TV repeats.

And let’s not get me started on the repeats. Even a good movie is only good for maybe two or three appearances and then it suffers from overexposure which means it should be shelved for a long time before popping up on our screens again and after living with teenagers for a few years, I go a funny colour at the thought of even hearing another animation show in the background let alone sitting through one. I am so over them! Sure, they were often funny the first time around but like, that’s it. After that they just grate. And as for news programs, well I only need to hear the story once, okay? I don’t need news programs back to back doing the same stories over and over. I heard it the first time! Done!

Bombala’s Anglican Parish Garden Day

N OW O ETS N TICK

Bombala’s Anglican Parish Garden Day saw it’s biggest year yet on Saturday with about 380 people participating in the tour of local gardens. Beginning the day at ‘Greenshill’, owned by Di and Matt Green, the crowd enjoyed the box hedges, veggie patch and the barbed wire balls in their beautifully presented garden. Next was the well established garden at ‘Quinburra’ in the Craigie Valley. Mandy and Ron Horton have lived at this property for the last 23 years, but parts of the old house date back to 1880. The garden is a majority of frost-hardy perennials. The party then moved on to ‘Craigie’ owned by Norm and Jule Craig. The driveway boasts several Eucalyptus Parvifolia, a species of tree that is now only found in the Kybean area. The group enjoyed viewing the fruit trees and picturesque garden ponds. Number four on the tour was John and Penelope Judge’s property, ‘Kilmersdon’. The abundance of fruit

trees, including cherry, apricot, peach, plum, pear, apple and citrus were a sight to behold. Not to mention the vegetable and herb gardens also. The final garden for the day was ‘Weewalla’ owned by John Turner. John’s wife Stephanie took great pride in the garden, however she sadly passed away last. John is now assisted by his son Peter in the beautiful garden. Lunch was enjoyed at Craigie Hall, with a variety of market stalls and a prize raffle drawn. The Parish Council wishes to thank all the organisers of this wonderful annual event, the owners who opened their gardens to the public for the day, all the volunteers involved, those who donated food and prizes for the raffle and everyone who came along for the day, making it the best one to date. Next year’s Garden Day will be on Saturday December 2, 2017. Make sure to mark it in your calendar as it is sure to be bigger and better.

Delegate dresses up for preschool fundraiser Delegate Preschool held their first dress-up fundraiser at the Delegate pub on November 25. Raising almost $4000 for the preschool, the night was a huge success. The dress-up theme was ‘D’ and there were some very creative costumes. The preschool would like to thank Graham Payten for generously allowing them to take over his usual Friday night activities to host the raffles and Dutch Auction. There were a dozen prizes and successful bidders could choose a numbered brown paper bag, the contents of which could not be revealed until the auction was complete. It kept the entire crowd in suspense. There was also some karaoke, which was well supported in wildly fluctuating degrees of talent. The Double Act was won by husband and wife team, Tammy and John Guthrie. Best Dame went to Anna Horton dressed in a scuba diver gear, Best Dude was Darth Vador in Tim Gillespie Jones and the Dare to be Different was won by Darryl Samson. The Delegate Preschool would also like to that all the sponsors who donated prizes to the raffle

and auction. These included Raymond Kading, Alpine Hotel Cooma, Heritage Inn, Wheelers Restaurant Merimbula, The Picture Show Man Merimbula, Magic Mountain, Questacon, Cockington Green, Kathy and Peter Jeffreys, Gloria Cotterill Delegate Country Club and Delegate Pub, Russell and Sharon Buckman, Wood Raymond Jamieson of Jamieson Bros Sawmill Bendoc, Pork Bryce and Sarah Garnock, Jamie and Esther Ingram (meat voucher). The best dressed sponsors were Delegate Station, Delegate Motors, Delegate Cafe and Landmark Bombala and Delegate. Another massive thank you goes to Landmark’s wonderful auctioneers in Tony Brady and Matt Green of Landmark Bombala, who did a superb job. They were very professional, especially Tony the newcomer to Bombala previously from Gunnedah in north west NSW. Congratulations to all successful bidders and under bidders, the preschool would like to thank you for your generous support.

Snowliner’s Vietnam experience continues Thinh has also been explaining to us the previous custom of bleeding a chicken or pig then cooking the intestines after which the raw blood is pour over and eaten. He feels this is the reason so many suffered from the bird flu or swine flu - the mind boggles. Each cabin has a mini fridge with is kept stocked with beer, soft drink and water. The temperature difference and humidity levels are so different between inside and outside the camera lens keeps fogging up as do the glasses. Twice we have come back from excursions and the crew are there to take your shoes and clean them. You are provided a pair of thong/ sandals to put on. When the shoes are cleaned they are returned to your room in a basket. We are now cruising up the

Mekong, its width is remarkable. Last I heard we were about 75kms from Saigon. In this section of the river major dredging is going on, at present I can see 24 barges and 9 dredging cranes. Looks like they queue up to be loaded then head down river. There appears to be no charge for the sand you collect. Water hyacinth is floating everywhere. Down river yesterday it was pointed out how they float plastic bottles on string lines to hold the water hyacinth together so families can farm this product, which we did see, all by hand of course. They can make bags or thongs from the stalks. And of course the young bulbs can be eaten. The water hyacinth are further up the river in Tonie Sap Lake and move down the river as the lake dries.

We must now be at the Cambodian border as we are stationery in the water. Crew would now be having our visas processed - 57 passengers $40 US each. The price quoted in Australia was $75 US per visa, and the fee indicated on the visa was $30 US, never mind time and convenience is worth something. The Killing Fields and S-21 Prison Museum - how can people be so cruel to each other. At the Killing Fields there are areas that contain 450 bodies. Another area where children were thrown up in the air to come down and land on bayonets. Three generations were murdered so the younger ones could not come back and retaliate. At the height of problems people were separated by age. Group A 0-10 year olds, group B 11-18 year olds, group C 19-51 year olds and group D over 51 years of old. The four groups were not allowed to mix and family members were encouraged to ‘dob’ on each other. Our guide was separated from his family at age 10. S-21 and what a morbid place.

Interrogation rooms or rooms of torture! Top four tortures were boiling water poured down the nose, electric charges in the ears, pulling toe nails and/or finger nails out and pouring alcohol over them and lashing the back till bleeding and pouring salty water on the wounds. Sean, our guide, mentioned at least 6 other forms of torture. We met one of the seven survivors of S-21. Chum Mey (now 85) survived because he could repair the typewriters used to take evidence. Phnom Penh has surprised me size wise. We are told there are 796 sky scrapers. Greg counted 26 cranes this morning at construction sites. Sean has told us 51% of construction is foreign financed. Unleaded fuel is $1 AU per litre. Their currency is worthless anywhere else so American dollars are accepted. Australia is 42 times larger than Cambodia. Life expectancy is 64.

Eventually we make our way back to the starting point where our driver was waiting. $3 US to get there and we took the opportunity for a scenic tour on the way back with several photo stops - 1 hour $10 US. Someone asked about the electrical wires we see everywhere, how do they work out what is what. Our guide says, all is ok, qualified persons know! Several times we have seen workers leaning aluminium ladders amongst the wires and climbing up. Oh yes the guide did say there are many deaths with the wiring! And tonight we are entertained by a local orphanage group with traditional dancing. Vibrant coloured costumes and young girls hands and fingers that bend back at unusual angles, all becomes part of the dance ritual. Young boys dancing with monkey head costumes. The boys finished with a Michael Jackson tune then Ganga Can. The applause at the end was deafening. Continues next week...

The Cast On Friday 2 December, SMGS students, staff, parents and friends were treated to a fantastic production by the K/1 class based on the beloved children’s book, “Stick Man”, by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. According to the K/1 teacher, Ms Emma Smith, the students were responsible for planning the entire production, right down to the marketing and advertising. They

selected the story of “Stick Man” after exploring the works of author Julia Donaldson and illustrator Axel Scheffler in class. Between the beautiful costumes, music and singing, it was a wonderful showcase of the hard work that went into the production, and we are already looking forward to future performances from our Junior School.

” I love Cooma, and I love selling real estate” About five years ago I returned to Cooma, after many years away, and it was one of the best decisions of my life. I was born and raised in Cooma. I attended Monaro High and in 1982 I was elected School Captain. After completing my HSC, I joined the Australian Federal Police, and served with the AFP for many years. From working on Christmas Island to representing Australia with the Australian contingent of the United Nations Peace Keeping force in Cyprus, to close protection with the AFP’s elite VIP close protection team which provided close protection to visiting international d S t e v e A l l e n _ RewaNolandignitaries. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my time with the Federal Police, and it will always hold many fine memories. Being an AFP officer taught me so many things, but mostly it taught me how to relate to a wide range of people. It is this skill for negotiation and communication, when teamed with my honesty and integrity that allows me to be a very effective and professional real estate agent when representing the interests of my vendors.

My career in Real Estate started with Colliers Residential in Sydney. Although I enjoyed my time there, gaining valuable experience, Cooma was ‘calling’ me home. On my return to Cooma, I purchased and then extensively renovated a historic period property, that I later opened as a B&B. I then had the wonderful opportunity to join Boller & Company Real Estate in Cooma. I have a great respect for both Chippy and Tracy Boller, and the agency is highly respected for its success and professionalism. Mid 2016 I decided to take a break, to embark on yet another renovation, Chakola Hall. Now that is almost complete, I decided to study to complete my Certificate IV course in property, and was successful in securing my Real Estate Licence – hence the start of my own agency Steve Allen Property. If you are thinking of selling, please visit Why Choose Steve Allen for more details about how I can maximise the opportunity to sell your home or investment property.

Three in five Aussies worried they do not have enough money in retirement A majority of Australians are concerned they will not have enough money to retire comfortably, new data has revealed. According to Mortgage Choice’s Diversified survey, 65% of Australians believe they will not have the funds they need come retirement. “While alarming, this data is not surprising when you consider that most people don’t start thinking about their retirement until they’re over 50,” Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said. “According to our survey, 54% of Australians will not give their retirement serious thought until they are 50 or older. “Of course, many don’t realise that 50 is simply too old to start saving and planning for retirement. In reality, people should start their retirement planning much earlier in life.” Mr Flavell said he understood how planning for retirement can seem like an

unnecessary task to those in their 20s or 30s. “People don’t want to give their retirement serious thought when they are younger because it is not something that is going to affect them any time soon,” he said. “However, with people living longer than ever and therefore needing more money in retirement, it’s important to be financially prepared for your twilight years.” According to the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia, couples will need approximately $640,000 in savings, while singles will need approximately $545,000 in order to live a comfortable lifestyle in retirement. “When you consider how much money Australians will need in order to retire comfortably, it is little wonder why it is so important to start the planning process early,” Mr Flavell said. “Furthermore, most people don’t realise

that they may head into retirement with debt hanging over their heads, which can have a significant impact on their savings and cash flow. “Over the coming years, statistics suggest that many Australians will reach retirement age and still have a mortgage. Soaring property prices combined with the fact that people are taking out home loans later in life, will ensure many still have debt in their twilight years.” For this reason, Mr Flavell said it is imperative for Australians to start the retirement planning process as early as possible “As the old adage goes: don’t put off til tomorrow what you can do today. “Australians should seek out financial advice early on in their financial journey, and put strategies in place today that will help them achieve their financial objectives and lead a comfortable retirement.”

Big Farmers Day Out in Bombala-Delegate On Friday December 2 Landmark Bombala and Delegate hosted more than 30 local farmers from across the southern Monaro on a local farm tour. The Farmer’s Big Day Out involved looking at operations across the Delegate, Bibbenluke and Cathcart areas. John Jefferies of Delegate Station shared his experience of establishing special purpose herb and clover pastures and the utilisation of these pastures in his lamb finishing system. Such a pasture lent itself to revenue of approximately $750/ha after the first four to five week grazing period. The farming operation of Murdoch Bibbenluke was visited next and John Murdoch crunched numbers of how grass based pastures had performed in their operation with an emphasis on increasing winter p r o d u c t i v i t y.

John quoted live weight gains of 1.14Kg/ hd/day during winter in young cattle. Murray Jackson had his trailing Goldacre boom spray on display for those interested in the latest technologies. At Lowanna Cathcart a brassica trial site was visited with three varieties on show for critique. Brassica establishment and management was discussed. Over a barbecue lunch one of Australia’s leading product technical agronomists for Loveland discussed the newest plant nutritional products to arrive on Australian shores and he discussed their fit in our temperate farming systems. Throughout the day the group were also privileged to have on board animal nutritionist Matthew Hallum. Matt’s expertise in ruminant nutrition complemented the farm tours well with the group discussing performance feeding

lambs, induction of animals on to green feed and also weaning management. Whilst at Lowanna, Michael Shannon demonstrated his jetting handler. The day was rounded up at Stonehenge Bombala where Tiny Chambalin demonstrated a Gallagher auto drafter. The day was hailed a great success, with those attending appreciating the differing farming systems and management. As a result of the day, there has been some reevaluation of individual’s business goals and adaptions to better direct productivity and profitability. The team at Landmark Bombala and Delegate would like to thank the property owners and managers that opened their properties up to the group on the day. There is nothing more powerful than the sharing of information and experience amongst farming communities.

Buyer attention persisted in the Superfine microns with 16.5 and 17 microns up to 60 cents higher whilst 17 and 18 microns were 40 to 50 cents dearer. The rises shrunk towards the medium/broader microns, culminating in a small loss for 22microns.

Field shows benefits of applying Coompost compost Australian soil management (ASM) held a field day last week to show community members and local landowners the positive outcomes from the Coompost* compost trial. Eighty people attended the field day which began with a guest speaker who is a soil expert. He explained in basic terms what things go in to the soil and why organic matter is important. The group was then addressed by Dr Greg Bender from ASM who explained the aim of the program. ASM has been introducing Coompost to a site at Billilingara and another site near ti Tree Racecourse in a bid to improve soil fertility. Increased fertility will allow more desirable native plants to outcompete weeds, particularly African Lovegrass. Norman Marshall from ASM said the field day was a success and it was a good opportunity to showcase their results. “It generated a lot of interest in what we were able to achieve which is the weed count showed a 50 percent reduction in two years. It’s very encouraging.� The group visited Billilingara to examine the plot and see a demonstration of a machine that puts

compost in to the ground rather than just adding it to the soil. The compost is put 10-20cm in to the ground, getting the organic matter deep with the idea being that the roots of the plants will chase after it, meaning that composting can occur less often. A study from Victoria found that by putting compost in to the ground, productivity of wheat increased by 50-100 percent. Mr Marshall said that the results are promising and that more research needs to be done surrounding the benefits of compost. “We would like to continue with it but the funding for the trial runs out in May. The question is where are the priorities?� he said. “Good quality compost can play a big role in the future. The NSW Government needs to do more about the weeds issue and improve agricultural production. These are very promising starts.� ASM will be holding more field days next week at Boorowa to show the effects of compost on wheat and canola production and at Bungendore to showcase better pastures. *Coompost is manufactured from green waste at Cooma landfill.

New towers a step forward in overcoming the data drought NSW Farmers has today welcomed the announcement by Deputy Premier John Barilaro of 39 new mobile base stations in NSW under Round 2 of the Federal Mobile Black Spots Programme. NSW Farmers’ President Derek Schoen said, “The Mobile Black Spot Programme is a vital part of efforts to end the data drought in NSW. “The NSW Government’s $15 million commitment to Round 2 has secured significant co-investment from telecommunications companies and the Federal Government. “The new towers will benefit consumers and farming families

from Temora to Nymbodia. “However, with communities across regional NSW still clamoring for better coverage, there is more work to be done. “We are calling on the NSW Government to allocate a further $15 million in funding for future rounds of the Mobile Black Spot Programme, and to consider what can be done to fund this initiative in the long term.� NSW Farmers has also joined organisations such as the National Farmers’ Federation, the Country Women’s Association, and the Isolated Children’s Parents’ Association to form the new Regional, Rural and Remote Communications Coalition which

launched on 30 November. This Coalition is championing better communications services for consumers and small businesses living in rural, remote or regional areas. One of the outcomes the group is seeking is a long term public funding commitment for open access mobile network expansion in rural and regional Australia. The Coalition is urging the Australian Government to commit funding beyond Round Three of the Mobile Black Spot Programme. The Mobile Black Spots Programme represents the type of co-investment model that is needed to further mobile coverage in the bush.

Schute Bell wool report Another surge in the market on the first day of sales this week pushed the Eastern Market Indicator to its highest level since July 2011. Fine and Superfine types led the charge giving them fortnightly gains of between 110 to 140 cents. In a tale of two markets the broader Crossbred types continue to struggle and are the only sector of the market to be below prices received twelve months ago. 46,118 bales were sold nationally for the week with a passed in rate of 6.2% with the bulk of these being Crossbred types. Major buyers included Chinatex, Techwool & Tianyu. As the sales progressed this week the magnitude of the rises slowed with the final day of sales closing out at relatively unchanged

levels. This perhaps is due to a large jump in next week’s national offering. In excess of 55,000 bales are now expected next week up a massive 10,000 bales on last week’s preliminary estimate. Forward markets took a much more conservative approach this week trading at levels very similar to last week. AWTA test data released this week is showing a 2% increase in the volume of wool tested nationally for the season to date.

Next Week’s Sales 55,057 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 14,557 in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard & Monaro Wool are selling on Thursday the 8th of December.

Wool4School competition Australia’s number one student design competition, Wool4School, returns for 2017 with a fresh new design brief, some brand new prizes and for the first time, open to year 12 students. Over the past five years, the competition has grown rapidly throughout Australia and Hong Kong and has educated many thousands of students about the natural versatility of Australian Merino wool. More than 12,000 Australian students were registered for the competition in 2016 alone and enjoyed the project as part of the formal school curriculum. Wool4School in 2017 encourages Australia’s secondary school students to design an outfit for their favourite musician to wear for a performance on stage. Naturally global stars like Ariana, Adele, Sia and Justin Bieber can

wear Merino wool because of its breathability, drape and comfort but to have their fans thinking of great on-stage costumes for them takes fan engagement to a fun new level. The outfit must be a brand new design, innovative and inventive. The entry must involve a minimum of one piece with a maximum of four pieces and in addition include a wool accessory and be of at least 80% Merino wool and suitable for a great live performance. There is more than $10,000 worth of student and teacher prizes. The winning year 10 design is made into reality by leading Australian designer Jonathan Ward but for the first time in 2017, Year 12 students can take part as well. The year 12 winner will be offered a full scholarship to attend the

prestigious Whitehouse Institute of Design to further their education in the fashion industry. This is purely a design competition, students don’t actually need to make the outfit; the panel of judges just want your sketched designs and knowledge of various functional aspects of Merino wool. Registrations are now open, when teachers sign up, they receive a free classroom kit. Get designing; encourage your friends to join Australia’s most popular school design competition, Wool4School. Full details, resources and lesson plans can be found on the new-look wool4school website www.wool4school.com, along with details of the amazing prizes on offer for students and teachers.

Twenty boats contested Heat 5 of Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club’s 2016/17 Twilight series. Tim Symons manned the RIB rescue boat while John Byrne started the seven catamarans on a starboard rounding course from the club mark. The catamarans started first on starboard tack. Adam Robinson had a great start and led the fleet. A sudden wind shift then advantaged the sailors like Barney Davis who tacked quickly and sailed away on port tack. Meanwhile Lucy Cross slipped overboard from her Dad’s Hydra 16 which caused her and Alistair to get stuck on the start line next to the start boat. The 13 boat mono-hull fleet started five minutes after the cats. The busy start line caused much excitement and jostling for position as Nick Kennedy tried to push to the front of the big bunch of competitive Lasers. As the fleet spread out, Nick was in the lead followed by a group of full rig Lasers and a group of Radial rig Lasers. The breeze varied in strength and direction which challenged all of the sailors. Nick sailed away from the following fleet on his final square run covering much more distance, but finding more breeze. The cats had spread out a bit by the first rounding of the Bay mark with Barney and Thomas Davis in the lead being chased by Barry Dennis. A group of 16 foot cats followed with positions changing from time to time on the long leg to the Mountain mark. Both divisions completed a triangle lap and a windward / leeward sausage leg before John shortened the course in the dying breeze. In the cats’ race, Barney crossed the finish line first followed by Barry, Andrew and Jake Kennedy, Alistair and Lucy Cross, Adam and Kane Robinson, Martin and Clancy Bannister and Randy Wieman and Errol Hanlon. The handicap corrected times gave Barry his first win

of the season followed by Barney and Alistair. Rod Baillie returned to the beach early along with Felix and Alex Hearn on the club’s Laser 11. Nick led the mono-hulls to the finish line with a final gust of wind as the breeze dropped for the other sailors. Nick was followed by the Laser full rigs of Jason Abbott, Steve Osborne, John Baird and Sam Bishop two seconds apart, Terry and Lucas Lee on their 470 finished next, then came the Laser Radials led by Martin Van Weel, Gote Vikstrom, Kerry McGaw, Suzie Green and Flying Fifteen sailors Nic Luntungan and Karen Green. Nick kept the win on handicap corrected times followed by Jason and John. Eight boats competed in Heat 4 of Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club’s 2016/17 Point-score series on Sunday December 4. The light breeze was replaced with a medium strength South Westerly which allowed a course to be set on the main lake. John Byrne started the mixed fleet of boats from the Club mark. Most of the boats started on Port tack and headed towards the Bay mark. Tim Symons on his Hobie 17 reached the Bay mark first and led the fleet towards the Mountain mark. The course the involved two Leeward / Windward laps between the mountain mark and the cardinal mark behind Cub Island and a return trip to the finish line at the Bay mark. Martin and Rogan Bannister on their Hobie 16 started the race late and had to chaser down the fleet. Nic Luntungan and Karen Green took their Flying Fifteen back to the beach early. Tim led the fleet by a large margin and finished first. He was followed by Steve Osborne, Martin Van Weel, Terry and Lucas Lee, Kerry McGaw, Martin and Rogan and John Baird sailing his Roberts 23 yacht solo. As usual the yardstick corrected times mixed up the results. Steve took the win from Martin VW, Tim, Kerry, Terry, John and Martin and Rogan B.

Important changes to marine safety regulations Boaters are being urged to familiarise themselves with changes to boating laws which were introduced earlier this year ahead of a statewide boating safety campaign. Roads and Maritime Services Acting Maritime Director Michael Drake said Operation Boatsafe: Know the Rules started on Saturday November 26 and will continue until sundown on Sunday December 4. Roads and Maritime Services Boating Safety Officers and NSW Police Officers will join forces to randomly stop boaters as part of this operation to promote safe boating behaviour through education and compliance activities. Boating Education Officers will also be out at boat ramps and fishing and boating clubs around the State to help boaters with advice and information before they head out on the water. “The aim is to encourage people to refresh their knowledge on the safe navigation rules – particularly if they obtained a boat licence a while ago,” Mr Drake said. “The new Marine Safety Regulation 2016 came into effect on 1 July and includes new streamlined and simplified requirements for wearing lifejackets and some changes to penalties and disqualification periods. “The new legislation also includes reforms

to boat driver licensing, including streamlining licence classes and application requirements, simplifying fee structure and the introduction of a 10-year boat licence. “The maximum speed for travelling when near other vessels, the shoreline or people in the water has dropped from 10 to 6 knots (18.5 km/h to 11 km/h).” Marine Area Commander Detective Superintendent Mark Hutchings said NSW Police, Marine Area Command will work closely with Boating Safety Officers while carrying out joint compliance operations, safety checks and random breath testing. “Boaters should be reminded it is their responsibility to understand the new changes and ensure they operate as safely as possible,” Det Supt Hutchings said. Mr Drake said boaters should refresh their knowledge on the general safe navigation requirements including keeping a proper lookout, vessel give way rules and operating at a safe speed. “Safety is paramount on our waterways and boaters should be ensuring they are up to date with requirements for boating safely,” he said.

Ladies day at annual Cooma races The lady jockeys outnumbered and out rode the boys at the Cooma Ti – tree Racecourse on Saturday, and in a sign of times the seven ladies took over the larger jockey’s room and the race-track winning all of the six races contested. The two feature races on the day were the High Country Subaru Cooma Cup over 1600 metres for open class horses and the Cooma Ex-Services Club Sundowners Cup, a Maiden Handicap of 1400 metres, both with prize-money of $12500 plus trophies. The Cooma Cup saw six horses head to the barriers with the Barbara Joseph & Paul Jones trained Girls Own ridden by Rachel Hunt starting as the $3.50 favourite. On barrier rise the lead was keenly contested with Imminent leading but with For Diamonds and Attainment attacking. Although Imminent generally leads in his races, jockey Melinda Kinny eased out of the battle to travel comfortably in third place. However, as they negotiated the hill, at about the 600 metre mark, Kinny again took control, going to the lead. Imminent entered the straight with a two length advantage and kept that break from Girls Own who tried hard and finished a galant second with Mineral Deposit finishing third. The winner is trained at Moruya by Matthew J Stephens for himself and Ray Whigham. The Cooma-ExServiceman’s Club Sundowners Cup is a much sought after trophy and saw eight horses vying for

their share of the prize-money. Ay Oh Whey Oh, the $2.30 favourite, was ridden by Rachel Hunt for the Barbara Joseph & Paul Jones stable and within the first 200 metres showed superior speed to lead easily. The jockey was clearly confident of her mounts ability hunting away from her pursuers at the 600 metres mark, going to the line strongly to win by almost seven lengths. The Kembla Grange trained Everly Girl was second whilst the Georgie Boucher Cooma trained Luckier was third. The winner is raced by Dynamic Syndications and a further large group of owners. Race 1 was the Cooma Hotels – Cooma Motor Lodge Maiden Plate of 1000 metres and saw a very close finish when the Toni Sergi Queanbeyan trained Silver Comet prevailed by only a short half head margin from the Wendy Heise Cooma trained Little Clanga. The winner was ridden by apprentice Kalina Bone who was having only her ninth race ride, the runner-up by Rachel Hunt and in third was No More Drinks ridden by Nyssa Burrells. The Monaro’s Leading Suppliers Benchmark 45 Hcp over 1000 metres was Race 2. The elation experienced by Kalina Bone after winning Race 1 was soon dispelled when her mount in the second race, Blue Tuscan, proved unruly and dislodged her several times on the way to the barriers. Unfortunately, during the incident Miss Bone sustained an

injury and was unable to ride for the remainder of the day whilst Blue Tuscan was scratched leaving eight horses in the field. The locally trained Muzzleburst gave a good sight for the owners, leading for most of the journey but was over hauled by McGovern and Mister Gibson at about the thirty metre mark. McGovern, ridden by Carly Frater for Tom Wilson from Queanbeyan, had a ¾ length margin to spare from Mister Gibson with a further ¾ length to Muzzleburst in third. The Cooma Town Plate, Benchmark 53 Hcp, over 1200 metres was Race 3 and saw the Joseph and Jones trained Our Cracker, ridden by Rachel Hunt, prevail by a head margin from Raise the Ante and Darbalara was third. The winner had also won at the same meeting for the last two years for owners for Bly and Don Miers, Peter and Barbara Joseph, Paul Jones and Grant Bobbin. The last race of the day was the Litchfield Family Class 2 Hcp over 1600 metres and had only four runners but proved a spectacle none the less when Impulse, ridden by Shelley Walsh, took the lead at about the 1400 metres mark. This combination was never headed and went on to score by three lengths from Kayla’s Wish and Highly Charged. The winner is trained at the Sapphire Coast by Grant Bobbin for himself, Mr D R Spence, Mr C L Schrader, David Armstrong along with Wendy and Norman Wilton.

Silver Comet wins race 1.

McGovern wins race 2.

Race 3 was sponsored by Coles, Cooma.

Ay Oh Whey Oh streeted the field to win race four by six and three-quarter lengths.

The winner of race 5, Imminent returns to scale. Right Impulse wins race 6.

Region shines as L’Etape pedals in Cycling fever hit Snowy Monaro over the weekend with thousands of cyclists and spectators lining the region’s roads for the L’Etape Australia extravaganza. It was the first time L’Etape has

been held in Australia, and following Saturday’s racing action, organisers deemed the event a success. A strong contingent of local cyclists took advantage of riding under professional conditions with 160km of closed roads providing a replica of life as Tour de France rider. Riders from Cooma and Jindabyne Cycling Clubs were out in force, competing in the Race (157km) and the Ride (125km) categories. Local riders joined more than 3500 cyclists for the day’s action with all competitors enduring the

arduous Col de Beloka climb. Berridale’s Myack Street hosted the sprint section as cyclists raised the tempo for the 500m dash. Cooma Cycling Club riders Chris Wall and Mark Herbert competed in the Race with both posting very impressive times. Wall finished in 1204th place with a time of 7 hours, 47 minutes, while Herbert finished in 730th in 6 hours, 57 minutes. The local contingent received loud cheers as they reached the sprint section as hundreds lined Myack Street to cheer the riders on. Berridale was a lovely shade of green as the town embraced the L’Etape event. Green painted bikes welcomed cyclists into town before the field turned into Myack Street. The region turned on a fantastic display of colour and entertainment across the weekend with Dalgety turning red and white for the hill

climb, while much of Jindabyne was decorated yellow for the event. The Strzelecki monument was decked out in yellow as was many of Jindabyne’s shop fronts. Locals and international visitors

gathered in Banjo Paterson Park to welcome the thousands of cyclists, with Tour de France winner Chris Froome the guest of honour at the event’s launch on Friday.

Seen at L’Etape The Snowy Mountains were their sparkling best for L’Etape which finished in Jindabyne where yellow blooms, bikes and bunting brightened up the town.

The circa 4,000 riders were delighted at the sight of spectators clapping, ringing bells and cheering them along the route. Kenyan born, British professional

Cyclists in the first group of the 4,000 cyclists participating in L’Etape, reach Jindabyne’s Barry Way roundabout about 30 minutes after they left the start at Lake Crackenback Resort .

road racing cyclist Chris Froome OBE, three times winner of the Tour de France (2013, 2015 and 2016) was on the stage to present awards before the huge crowd of spectators and cyclists gathered in Jindabyne’s Paterson Park for the presentation of L’Etape awards. Participating in the race, Chris started at the back of the pack and worked his way forward to the front to be 15th across the finishing line, only to be delayed by heavy “traffic” before the presentations. He commented that the steep gradient of Col de Beloko on the route from Dalgety to Jindabyne, was equal to any of the climbs he experienced on the Tour de France. The overall leader and winner of the Men’s Yellow Jersey was Chris Miller with the Women’s Yellow Jersey being won by Amanda Spratt from Springwood. Australia’s women’s national road racing champion, slight Amanda Spratt also won the Women’s Green Jersey and the Polka Dotted Jersey which was awarded to the “King of the Mountain.” The team supporting Amanada won the Mixed Team category. Ben Carmien from Logan, Queensland, won the Men’s Green Jersey for his time in the sprint event at Berridale. Chris Miller was back on stage to be awarded “King of the Mountain. He described the Beloko section as being “tough” after battling the north west wind riding out of Dalgety. Winners of the Youngest category were Sam Burston and Gina Riccardo. The colourful and female “Cheeky Chicks” were applauded as the fastest women’s women’s team. Without a doubt, the first L’Etape road cycle races to be held in the Snowy Mountains was a success and praise must be given to the organisers of the event, the local communities and the weather.

Chris presented the awards.

Tour de France winner praises our region Nathan Thompson Three-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome has praised the Snowy Monaro region, giving it his stamp of approval as the ‘perfect’ venue to host international cycling races. Froome arrived in the region on Thursday ahead of the weekend’s L’Etape Australia event, joining thousands for the inaugural ride. Froome brought considerable star power to the race, rubbing shoulders with cycling fans at the event’s launch in Jindabyne on Friday. The event is designed replicate a stage in the Tour de France, allowing the field the opportunity to experience life as a professional cyclist. Speaking to The Monaro Post, Froome declared the region as the ideal setting for a race of this magnitude. “It’s beautiful out here. It’s raw nature at its best. This is the perfect place to host an event like this,” Froome said. Froome hosted a clinic with L’Etape cyclists on Friday, providing tips and sharing his riding experiences with the captive audience. The current Tour de France title holder, Froome used Saturday’s ride as an important training run in the

lead up to his Australian assault early next year. He will compete in the Tour Down Under in January with Australian cycling fans excited at the prospect of further opportunities to watch the cycling star. It’s the first time L’Etape has staged an event Down Under and the Snowy Monaro will host the ride for the next two years. Speaking ahead of the race, Froome said the course will present its difficulties. “Certainly the route is challenging. There’s plenty of tough climbs, Del col Beloka is definitely challenging. If the wind picks up it’ll play a massive part.” “My advice to the riders is most of all enjoy it and stay safe. “It’s great to have the interest in the sport and to celebrate the experience of what it’s like to ride a stage of the Tour de France.” Froome congratulated the region for coming together to help stage the L’Etape event. He said he was pleased to meet so many cycling fans. “I’ve had a great opportunity to rub shoulders with the hardcore cycling fans who stay up to ungodly hours watching the tour.”

Monaro under 14s too strong The Monaro under 14 cricket side put together an impressive performance in their last game before the Christmas break. Monaro almost pulled off an outright victory against Daramalan in their clash at Snowy Oval, finishing just two wickets shy of maximum points. Batting first Monaro piled on the runs with a number of batsmen hitting their best score of the season. Led by a half-century from Matt Rebus, Monaro finished their innings on 221, a mammoth score considering the thickness of the Snowy outfield. Monaro’s innings got off to a great start as under 12s player Justin McDonald stepped up an age group and made an impressive 10. Remi Brademann hit 17 before Kiah Joyce entered the fold and smacked three massive sixes on his way to 23. James Dyball was another contributor with 19.

With a strong total to defend, Monaro took quick wickets as Darmalan was bowled out for 60. Colby McDonald did the damage with the ball, taking 4/4 in the first innings, and 1/0 in the second to return match figures of 5/4. In Darmalan’s first innings, wickets were shared between Luke Fitzgerald, Matt Rebus, and James Dyball. With time remaining in the day, Monaro chased an outright victory and came within two wickets of achieving this. Luke Fitzgerald starred with the ball taking 3/9. Justin MacDonald and Jake Quodling picked up a wicket. The under 14s head into the Christmas break with plenty to be excited about come the New Year. The side continues to improve, and the players would like to thanks all parents for helping out at games, in particular their manager/coach Lisa Phillips.

Berridale win 20/20 clash Berridale made it consecutive wins after defeating Peak View Jerangle (PVJ) in a deferred game of the Monaro cricket season. Scheduled originally for the weekend of the Adaminaby Races, the match was played on Sunday at Nijong Oval as a 20/20. Berridale registered a comfortable win of 76 runs. Batting first, Mike Mesley propelled Berridale’s total with a classy 58. The side got off to a strong start through openers James Cahill and Brandon Williams. Dalgety captain Simon Freebody, filled in for Berridale, and hit 36. For PVJ Justin Locker was the pick of the bowlers, capturing two wickets. In reply, PVJ lost top order wickets as Berridale’s opening bowlers of James Cahill and Jack Parkyn took three wickets apiece. The homeside finished 8/96 off their 20 overs.

Competitive bowls and road-mending at Cooma club The three preliminary matches in Major Singles to be played by January 6 are: John Schoon v Ron Wainwright. Mel Storta v Peter Caldwell and Brian Searle v Max Butler. If players can arrange to play mid week Keith Goodwin 6452 2105 (after 6pm) or Mark Buckley 0447 070 749 should be available to act as marker if required. When play commences in the main draw of Major Singles on January 7, players from the bottom half will be asked to mark matches in the top half and with top half draw players marking for the bottom half matches to be played January 8. After that it should be “Loser Marks next match.” Omitted from last week’s report. Super 6’s, Tathra defeated Cooma 8 ½ points to 6 ½ in a playoff for a spot in the Semi-final. There have been some fairly one sided matches lately in Wednesday social bowls, but last week that was not the case although one was a fairly convincing win, mainly over the last few ends. After some confusion Peter Harris played swinging lead for Ken Rees and Renate Winckel and for Ron Gammon and Ron Wainwright, Three shots was the largest margin up to end 18 when Peter, Ken and Renate went ahead 17/12 before winning 21/13. Scores were level on two occasions. New member, Craig Mills teamed up with Max Butler and Max Reeve to play Bob Douglass, Colin Peuker and Geoff

Venables. This was another close one with the lead changing on several occasions and level twice. The two Max’s and Craig won 17/13. Allan Crowe, Mike Mannile and Mick Mayhew were trailing Mary Boller, Mario Frezza and Helen Peuker 7/10 on 10 then kept them on 10 for a further six ends to lead 15/10 and go on to win 17/14. Some preliminary round matches in Major Pairs were played last week and the players involved are thanked for their co-operation. Mark Buckley and Wayne Lodge won four of the first seven ends against Wayne Flynn and John Schoon but trailed 5/8. Nine shots over the next three

ends put them in front 14/8 and were unstoppable from that point on in winning 27/10. Peter Caldwell (subbing for Jake Barnes) and John Barnes had a battle royal with Max Butler and Mike Mannile for 14 ends with two shots being the biggest margin with the scores locked up 12/12. Eight shots over three ends gave Peter and John a handy lead which they increased to 20/14 on the last end. Max and Mike could only manage three shots to move Peter and John to the Main Draw where they will meet Mick Mayhew and Ron Wainwright. Three matches in Major Pairs were played on Sunday. Paul Schulz playing as sub for

Gordon Cox teamed up with Daniel Clough to play Ross Russell and Mel Storta. This started out at a steady pace with Paul and Daniel holding a 6/4 lead on seven. With three shots on eight they increased the lead to 9/4 but then spent a further three ends on that score before coming home strongly to win 21/13. Giulio D’Amico was sub for Gus Mallamace to join up with Ignazio Mondello against Allan Crowe and Rowen Venables. This was a very even contest for most of the match, The scores wee level on three occasions with Giulio and Ignazio holding a 12/14 lead with two ends to play and the game was up for grabs. Giulio and Ignazio scored seven shots on 20 and it was all over with Giulio and Ignazio winning 21/14. The match of the day was definitely Darren Collins and Steve Seears v Garry Taylor and Colin Roberson. Of the 21 ends played, 15 were decided by one shot and scores level on four occasions (including the 19th) and one team winning 11 ends and the other 10. It was such a great match it was a pity there had to be loser, but on this occasion it was Darren and Steve 14/15.

A first round match in Major Singles was played last Friday. Jack Sajina held a 10/9 led over Darren Collins after 10 ends then ran away with the game in winning 31/21. Social bowls on Saturday attracted only 11 players, the rest must have been lining the bookies’ pockets at the races. Mario Frezza, John Vincent and Geoff Venables had a 10/9 lead over Sergio Roncelli, Leonie Snell and Mark Buckley but came home strongly to win 24/14. Ron Wainwright played swinging lead for Daphne Buckley and Peteer Marsicano and for Renate Winckel and Giulio D’Amico. After spending seven ends on 12 it appeared to be all over for Ron, Daphne and Peter but they just missed a win 19/20. Jindabyne was the venue for final matches in Club’s Challenge. Adaminaby v Cooma Pairs to Cooma 3/0 Triples to Adaminaby 2/1 and fours 3/0 giving Adaminaby 5 points Cooma 4. Jindabyne v Nimmitabel all three to Jindabyne for 9 points. The final point score is; Adaminaby 21, Jindabyne 18, Cooma 12 and Nimmitabel 3. Congratulations Adaminaby. Pictured, members of the Cooma Bowling Club have had to take road repairs into their own hands this week, filling in the potholes that keep appearing in Mawson Street. The club would like assistance in repairing and maintaining the street, which is also used as access to the adjacent nursing home.

Fifty-two years ago, Bombala girl Barbara Joseph posed for a photo with other local lady riders at the Cooma races. Last Saturday, with the help of the seven lad jockeys present, Barbara relived the moment. To top off the day, she trained two winners and one second-placed horse at the meeting. Barbara is pictured above with riders Rachel Hunt, Shelley Walsh, Kay Bone, Carly Frater, Eleanor Webster-Hawes, Nyssa Burrells, and Melinda Kinny.
