The Minister for Land and Water, Niall Blair visited Bombala as part of his trip to the region for the opening of the Lake Wallace Dam near Nimmitabel last Friday. Minister Blair visited the Bombala Water Treatment Plant on the Friday morning, where he was briefed on the upgrade works to be made at the facility. Mr Blair said the NSW Government has provided $495,000 in funding to the Bombala Water Treatment Plant Project and $5.35 million to the Lake Wallace Dam project through its Restart NSW Water Security for Regions program. “The funding of these important projects demonstrates the NSW Government’s commitment to

COOMA RSPCA

securing the water supply for regional communities, especially during times of drought,” Mr Blair said. “Under this program the NSW Government has committed $366 million to support local infrastructure projects that improve water security across NSW.” The works at the Bombala Water Treatment Plant will see ageing infrastructure upgraded to modern standards that will enhance the operations and reliability of the plant. Member for Monaro and Minister for Regional Development, John Barilaro, said these two projects are at different ends of the construction

spectrum, with the work at Bombala Water Treatment Plant just beginning and the work at Lake Wallace Dam just completed. “The upgrade of the Bombala Water Treatment Plant will improve water quality and security of supply, giving the local community increased confidence in the drinking water, now and into the future,” Mr Barilaro said. MLC Bronnie Taylor also visited the Bombala Water Treatment Plant to learn about the upgrade of facilities, and attended the opening of the Lake Wallace Dam. “This is a great day for the community,” she said.

THE MONARO POST IS A

At last, Nimmitabel has water!

Member of Monaro

JOHN BARILARO MP Above: Minister for Water Niall Blair and Bronnie Taylor, MLC, pictured with the Snowy Monaro Regional Council administrator Dean Lynch and Nimmitabel residents. Below: Mr Blair and Mrs Taylor cut the ribbon to officially open Lake Wallace. It has taken more than 10 years, but Nimmitabel now has a reliable water source to drought-proof it into the future. The new water catchment, Lake Wallace, was officially opened last Friday by the NSW Minister for water, Niall Blair. The dam hopefully brings to an end

the requirement for Nimmitabel to face strict water restrictions, except in extreme drought times. With a 320mega litre capacity, the dam design allows for a five-year water supply drought security and environmental flow to the MacLaughlin River. The dam was completed with the input

of $5.6 million from the State Government under the Restart NSW Water Security for Regions Program. It is the first dam to be built in the state for at least a decade. It would not have been constructed if not for the vision and tenacity of Nimmitabel locals, in particular John Alcock, Charles Alcock, Howard Charles, David and Gazelle Wicks and Richard Lawson, with the support of the Nimmitabel Advancement Group (NAG), Nimmitabel residents and the generosity of the Wallace family. At Friday’s ceremony, thanks were also extended to the dam project manager, Keith Walker. The long history of Lake Wallace goes back to 1962, when a pumping station was built at the Maclaughlin River to get water to a steel reservoir to supply

town water. In 1995/96, a bore was constructed in Lucan Street, near the public school to augment the water supply. In 2003, water diviner Andy Murdoch toured the town with Howard Charles and shire engineer David Byrne. He located a bore site above Lake Williams. At this time, in a drought and with severe water restrictions in place, considerable publicity was generated about the hardship the poor water supply was creating. Over the next couple of years, the village is represented at Cooma-Monaro Shire Council meetings, seeking more positive action. Hydrology surveys conducted and identified five bore sites, none of which were as positive as near Lake Williams. A bore was sunk in 2007, near Lake Williams but proved inadequate in

drought time. In June, 2005, John Alcock and Howard Charles viewed Pigring Creek, south of the town. They recognised the potential of the area for water storage and spoke with the land owners, then took the concept of building a large farm dam to the Nimmitabel Advancement Group.

Cooma’s Charly Thorn is off to Canada As the first ever designer to receive a standing ovation at FASHFEST in Canberra, and now an invitation to feature in Fashion Week Vancouver, Cooma’s Charly Thorn is going from strength to strength. Charly’s unique collection hit the runway in Canberra on Friday, September 30. Primarily made from merino wool, her designs were well received by the 1,200-strong audience. At just 17-years-old, Charly was also the youngest designer to have ever been featured in the FASHFEST line-up. Growing up in Cooma, Charly made her first dress out of paper at just five-years-old

and was given her first sewing machine when she was six. Since then, it has always been her dream to be a fashion designer. FASHFEST Co-Founder and Managing Director Andrea Hutchinson described Charly as ‘amazing’. “At only 17 years old, to have that dream and that much creativity to be able to come up with a whole collection is really amazing,” she said. “The colours and fabrics she chose went really well together. The sparkling gold and embroidery looked fantastic on the runway, so it was obvious that she had done her

What’s on at the

research and really put a lot of thought and preparation into her designs.” Charly managed to put together the 12-piece collection while working two jobs and completing Year 12. Ms Hutchinson said Charly’s passion and commitment are one of the big reasons she is doing so well. FASHFEST has been running for four years and aims to support emerging designers and help expose their talents to a wider audience. Well known model Anneliese Seubert, who is also from Cooma and good friends with Charly and her family, modelled for Charly at FASHFEST. Also modelling Charly’s designs at Fashionation earlier this year, this is the second time Anneliese has modelled for her. As Annaliese was the face of FASHFEST a few years ago, it was through her that the event organisers first heard of Charly. However it was Charly’s own application for a place in the designer line-up that secured her a spot in the 2016 event. “The whole experience was really fun, I had a great time,” said Charly. “When I walked out and saw that everyone was standing up, I just burst into tears. The reaction was phenomenal and

the show was such a great opportunity for someone my age. “The standard of work at the show was amazing and it was really interesting to get to speak with so many experienced designers and other people in the industry. I also got to see how things run backstage, and on the night it was really hectic and full-on, but such an incredible experience.” “I have recently done some travelling across South East Asia and I think that has really been reflected in my collection for FASHFEST.” Just after the show, Charly received an email from the organisers of Vancouver Fashion Week, inviting her to feature on the runway in either March or September. Leaning towards September, Charly is very excited and honoured to have been personally invited to participate. Ms Hutchinson said that the Vancouver Fashion Week is very selective when it comes to designers. “This is definitely a step up for Charly and a chance to be part of a bigger network. It will offer her more opportunities to go overseas with her designs.” Next year, Charly is hoping to secure a position at Birdsnest in Cooma to learn more about design locally before applying to as many design schools as possible for study beginning in 2018.

Local Health District holds annual meeting in Cooma A range of issues from travel difficulties, new health services and the changing landscape of patient care was discussed at the Southern NSW Local Health District’s (SNSWLHD) Annual Public Meeting. Around 70 health workers, Cooma Hospital staff, SNSWLHD board members and the wider community gathered at the Cooma Hotel last Friday to hear from a number of speakers about the future of local health. Carrie Marr, Chief Executive of the Clinical Excellence Commission, delivered the keynote address. She spoke passionately about shifting the focus of patient care to one that listens more closely to the patient. “We can learn for from our patients, their families and carers. Using our staff and the community as assets in patient care is important,” Ms Marr said. Her address focused on a central theme, ‘what matters to you?’ Through asking this question to patients, Ms Marr believes their experience with the health system will be improved. “This is the fundamental question we need to ensure every patient is asked everyday,” she said. “For patients this can help speed their recovery, patients feel valued and more looked after. Improvement just needs one nurse, one patient, and one idea.” Increasing the community’s involvement within the SNSWLHD

was earmarked as a priority for local health providers. Through this Ms Marr said Snowy Monaro patients will be more comfortable accessing the health system. “I’d love to see the community educated to be more involved in patient care.” “Patient safety and improvement doesn’t need to be complicated.” Ms Marr touched on her experience within the Scottish health system as an example of how the local health district can change the way patient’s needs are addressed. The annual public meeting gave locals the opportunity to voice their concerns about current health issues. One attendee raised issues with the construction of the new Jindabyne HealthOne facility, telling the room Jenny Symons, Board Chair of the SNSWLHD, Jenny Compton, Chief there are issues with Executive of SNSWLHD, and Carrie Marr, Chief Executive of the Clinical patients accessing the Excellence Commission, at the annual public meeting last Friday.

A man suffered minor injuries after his car collided

Bringing out the blue for a good cause

with two kangaroos at high speed, 5km south of Cooma. Cooma paramedics were called to the incident at 1.30 Sunday where the man was transported to Cooma Hospital with minor injuries. The Monaro Rural Fire Service was called to a Lovegrass fire on Saturday morning at Bredbo. The fire was the result of a driver’s exhaust becoming too hot when driving through the grass. The RFS wishes to remind people of the dangers of causing grass fires whilst in a vehicle. They also remind locals that permits are required for burns.

Cooma was not immune to damage caused by extremely strong winds last week. A house in Chapman Street bore the brunt of falling gum tree last Tuesday, while another house in Sharp Street was lucky to escape damage when a large branch broke off a tree. Council staff and SES volunteers were kept busy clearing away the debris.

The community, including local paramedics, turned out wearing blue in support of Cooma Mitre 10’s BlueBash last Wednesday. After enjoying a sausage sandwich or two, some of the attendees got together for a group photo to show support and spread awareness of depression and anxiety. Proceeds of the day will go to Australian charity beyondblue.

Administrator’s Column I attended meetings in Michelago, Smiths Road, Bredbo, Nimmitabel, Numeralla, and Cooma over the last few weeks to provide a forum for community discussion regarding the changes to the rural waste charges for rural residents of the former Cooma-Monaro Shire Council area, which will come into force from 1 November. The meetings included a presentation by Peter Smith, Snowy Monaro Regional Council’s Director of Planning Service, with assistance from other senior staff members to respond to the various issues raised. Discussions also extended into other operational areas, with residents raising general items as well as specific issues that have emerged since the formation of the new Council area in May this year. I was really pleased to see a great level of community attendance and participation at the meetings, and I thank all of the attendees for their very open, frank, and at times spirited contribution to the discussions. I also take this opportunity to sincerely thank each of the Community Associations for their participation and input into the discussions. It is really important that we continue to have strong representation through our various Community Associations and interest groups in the lead-up to a new Council being elected in September 2017. I have provided an undertaking to each of the Community Associations that I will formally respond to the requests and items raised at the meetings. Introducing change is never easy, but the long-term benefits of revising the way we manage our waste and recycling will be an advantage to all residents. Similar meetings are also planned for the residents of the former Bombala Council area, with the introduction of changes to their rural waste arrangements planned for 2017. Changes are also being introduced in 2017 through the NSW government to enable refunds to be provided for recycling of things like drink bottles and cans, under the ‘Container Deposit Scheme’ which is also aimed at increasing our level of recycling, with the end result being that we bury less waste at landfill. I urge all residents to look at the way they manage their waste and recycling, and to particularly make the effort to maximise their recycling wherever possible. Council staff are available for advice if there is uncertainty about what products can or cannot be recycled. Maximising our recycling rates means we bury less waste at landfill – thereby extending the lifespan of these valuable facilities, and creating a financial saving for all residents and ratepayers.

Dean Lynch Administrator

Mitre 10 Cooma hosted a BlueBash last week in support of charity beyondblue. Hosting a barbeque and a raffle, the team aim to raise as much money as possible to go towards awareness and advocating for those suffering depression and anxiety. People were encouraged to wear blue for the day in support of the cause and to

spread awareness. The business community has been very generous in donating prizes for the raffle. There were 36 businesses who donated prizes for the cause, with first prize being a night at the Nebula Motel including breakfast and $100 voucher for Roses Restaurant. Second prize is a $200 Mitre

10 voucher and third and fourth prizes are hamper packs. There are heaps more prizes up for grabs also, with the full list available at Mitre 10, where you can also pick up some tickets. The winners will be drawn on Monday October 17.

New kitchen for Jindy Memorial Hall

commercial standards. Jindabyne CWA President Dale Whitfield explained the reasons behind the branch’s decision to donate the funds. Every year for quite some time now, the Jindabyne CWA has catered for big community events at the Jindabyne Memorial hall:- the Lions Easter Art Show, Jindy Idol and the traditional post Anzac Day service morning tea which last year saw 1000 people turn up for tea and scones. When the CWA sold their hall in Thredbo Terrace they decided that they would like to

use part of the proceeds towards updating the kitchen they used so often. The new facility got its first work out for this year’s Jindy Idol and was declared fit for purpose!! Speeches over, Dean Lynch invited her to do the honours and cut the ribbon across the kitchen door! It wouldn’t be a CWA event without tea and scones – all organised by the council staff. The usual morning tea makers were delighted to find themselves on the other side of the table. Thank you Council!!

Berridale readying for L’Étape About 60 bicycles have been donated to use as decorations for the town of Berridale leading up to and during the L’Étape Australia cycling event in December. The bikes are being painted lime green to match the colour of the winner’s jersey for the sprint section of the race, which will take place in Berridale on Saturday December 3. With the event expected to attract thousands of riders, the Snowy Monaro Regional Council (SMRC) has been encouraging Dalgety, Berridale and Jindabyne to decorate the towns for the event. Berridale is sprinting ahead with their preparations having already put one bicycle out, which has sparked a lot of attention.

L CA LO

A community meeting is being held tonight, Wednesday October 12, at 7.30pm at the Berridale CWA hall. The purpose of the meeting, which is the third one held in Berridale to prepare for L’Étape, is to assign tasks to willing volunteers. SMRC Administrator Dean Lynch and General Manager Joe Vescio will be attending the meeting to discuss funding for the preparations also. Once the bikes have been painted, they will be placed securely around town as decoration. Other options, such as green solar lights and bicycle wheels as flower sculptures, are also being discussed.

Essential Energy looking to New owners at Bombala Electrical and Hardware engage apprentices Essential Energy is recruiting new apprentices across regional and rural NSW to pursue careers with the operator of Australia’s largest electricity distribution network. The 25 powerline worker apprenticeships are open to people of all ages and backgrounds – men, women, school leavers, Indigenous and mature age applicants – in locations across Essential Energy’s footprint.

There were mixed emotions at Bombala Electrical & Hardware this week as the well known local business changed hands after 15 years. Long term owners, Rudi and Elsie Wertenbach handed the keys over to Peter Heward and Vanessa Wenczel on Monday, wishing them every success in the business. “We’d also like to thank the people of Bombala, Delegate and the surrounding district for their support over the past 15 years,” Rudi said. “We will miss the friendship, banter and good humour, and hope the community will support Peter and Vanessa as it did us.” Vanessa is in fact a familiar face around town, having moved to the Rockton area two and a half years ago where the couple bought a property to enjoy with their three girls, aged nine, six and four. Vanessa and the girls have been involved in local community and school life since, while Peter has been working out of the area for much of this time as a remote RFS firefighter. “We’ve been looking at local

business prospects for a while, as we wanted to find something that would allow Peter to stay in the area,” Vanessa said. “It was about having more family time.” Peter readily agrees, pointing out that he had missed all of the family’s birthdays, including his own, as he travelled in and out of the area constantly for RFS work. “I wanted the kids to have what I didn’t have; horses and motorbikes and everything, and I wanted to share that with them. “Plus, it’s pretty much a “boys toys” shop,” he laughs, standing amongst the tools and appliances of Bombala Electrical. The couple come to the region from Thirlmere near Picton, and are new to the business world, with Vanessa being an architectural drafter by trade, while Peter is not only a firefighter but also a chef and an actor! For now the pair look forward to settling into their new business, and encourage everyone to pop into Bombala Electrical & Hardware to say hello.

Feel Good Fete promotes mental wellbeing To promote mental wellbeing across the Snowy Monaro region the Feel Good Fete was held, giving locals the opportunity to put mental health on the agenda. Coinciding with World Mental Health day, the fete allowed locals to discuss mental health issues and learn practices to improve their wellbeing. To raise awareness of mental health issues in the community, and to generate positive discussions, a number of local services came together in Centennial Park as part of efforts for Mental Health Month. From a gratitude wall to making a stress ball, locals who turned out for the occasion were able to de-stress and put the focus on themselves. Snowy Monaro Regional Council Youth Development Officer, Mel Sass, said Monday’s Feel Good Fete was an important part of people taking positive steps

towards improving their mental health. “Asking for help and reaching out is the main way people can overcome mental health issues. Being mindful of diet, exercise and alcohol consumption is also important,” Ms Sass said. “We wanted the focus of the fete to be on mental wellbeing rather than mental illness. Coinciding with World Mental Health Day people came together to generate well being.” Events such as the Feel Good Fete are designed to ensure mental health issues are not taboo subjects according to Jen Keioskie from the Rural Adversity Mental Health Program. “We want to promote how prevalent mental health problems are. Days like this try to reduce the stigma and promote how lots of mental health conditions are treatable,” Ms Keioskie said.

Local organisations and services came together for the Feel Good Fete to raise awareness about mental health issues and promote mental wellbeing.

At last, Nimmitabel has water...

Above: Lake Wallace project manager Keith Walker pictured above the outlet valve at Lake wallace. Right: Men of Vision, John Alcock and Howard Charles with almost the full extent of Lake Wallace behind them. The high water mark pegged out 10 years ago is exactly where the water level is now. Continued from page 3... Charles Alcock prepared an estimate of the potential scope of storage and earthworks and dam contractors Ray Miller and Bruce Jamieson, estimate construction costs of a farm dam to be about $300,000. NAG welcomed the proposal and endorsed the plan, but council was very cautious and concerned about the potential cost. During 2006 and 2007, considerable lobbying took place, with widespread support from politicians, Monaro Acclimatisation Society, MacLaughlin River Landcare,

Southern Waters CMA, local councillors but council staff were still reluctant to support the proposal and worked on the Nimmitabel Drought Water Supply Options Study. As water restrictions continued, council considered a number of options, including piping water from Cooma to Nimmitabel – a water truck was used to transport water to the village. In September 2007, Member for EdenMonaro Gary Nairn announced a grant of $50,000 for geotechnical studies and $500,000 for the construction of a farm dam. Unfortunately he lost the Federal election

in November and the money he had secured was not forthcoming. In 2007 Charles Alcock and Tim Golby carried out detailed hydrogeological studies to determine the suitability of the site and clear fence line regrowth. They found excellent clay and marked out a high water line – this is still the high water line after the dam’s construction In October 2007, NAG formed a water committee with David Wicks as chair, John Alcock, Tom Webster and Howard Charles. Mr Wicks mounted a very strong letterwriting campaign to regain government support for the projects. To convince council and rebuild momentum for the proposal. In April 2008, council’s options study was presented, finding Pigring Creek proposal too expensive and not recommended. In August that year, Minister Penny Wong offered similar funding to Gary Nairn’s, subject to new conditions, including reexamination of other options. Member for Eden Monaro, Mike Kelly, announced this, but the grant money was to go to council, not NAG, for a town water supply scheme, which totally changed the cost structure. In 2009, SMEC was commissioned to carry out another feasibility study of Pigring Creek dam, following

council’s visit to the new dam built by Howard Charles at “Rockybah�. The mayor, Vin Good, was very supportive. The SMEC report was released in February 2010, recommending a smaller dam, of less than 200 ml capacity. NAG did some more lobbying to ensure the dam is at least 300 ml capacity. In August that year, council called for tenders for an optimisation study and final design of the dam wall. NSW Public Works won the tender, designed the dam and went on to manage the construction of the project. From 2010 to 2013, extensive specialist environmental investigations were carried out, including assessments for aquatic environment, flora and fauna, indigenous cultural heritage, non indigenous cultural heritage, contaminated land, downstream aquatic and flora, biodiversity offset, plus surveys of two species of amphibians. In November 2014, Member for Monaro John Barilaro, announced a NSW Government grant of $5.3 million for the construction of the 320ml dam on Pigring Creek, named Lake Wallace for Nimmitabel Water Supply. On January 20, 2015, Mr Barilaro, Deputy Premier Troy Grant, and Mayor Dean Lynch hold a sod-turning ceremony and announce the start of the project. In May 2016, dam construction was completed. In June 2016, the dam was full. On October 7, the dam was officially opened.

Redeveloping Delegate town centre discussed by community

Solid numbers attended the community engagement session held in Delegate last Thursday to discuss the proposed redevelopment of the town’s commercial centre. The Snowy Monaro Regional Council’s Dean Lynch and Grantley Ingram led the meeting.

The gathering broke into smaller working groups to discuss ideas.

Ingram said. Adding to the positive feel of the session, the group also heard from Peter Shepherd who is a consultant currently working with Council on marketing and branding. Mr Shepherd is the former CEO of Tourism Queensland and works around the country helping communities promote their areas. Mr Shepherd outlined his role and spoke in glowing praise of the potential of the local area in terms of marketing it to visitors, touching on everything from the Bundian Way to the abundant platypus throughout local waterways. “He was greatly impressed by how much we have to promote here in the district, and how much “product” we have to work with to attract people here,” Mr Ingram said. All in all the engagement session in Delegate was a very productive one, and it is now hoped that just as much enthusiasm will be shown for this week’s public meeting in Bombala tomorrow, October 13. The session will begin with a walk-through of the draft Streetscape plan from 4pm, taking the form of a guided tour through the main features to better understand the initial designs. A meeting will then be held at the Bombala Community Centre within the library building from 6.30pm, where again the gathering will break into smaller working groups to discuss ideas. All who are interested in any future redevelopment of the main commercial centre of Bombala is encouraged to come along and share their thoughts, with community consultation being a key part of the process. The walk-through of the Streetscape plan will begin outside the Bombala branch office of council from 4pm this Thursday, October 13, followed by the public meeting in the Community Centre from 6.30pm.

Some constructive conversation unfolded in Delegate last Thursday evening, with a public meeting being well attended as the community discussed the proposed redevelopment of the town’s commercial centre. With the former Bombala Council having engaged Scape Design to explore redevelopments both in Delegate and Bombala, the community session was held last week to go over the draft “Streetscape” plan for the smaller village. A brief walk-through of the draft plan was held in the afternoon, with staff from the Snowy Monaro Regional Council running the actual community engagement session afterwards. Administrator, Dean Lynch opened the proceedings, with both Mr Lynch and Council’s Grantley Ingram explaining that the drafts are very early stage concepts, with the idea being for the community to express exactly what it wants from any redevelopment. “We need to identify what the community wants from its commercial centre, and then break this into achievable pieces,” Mr Ingram said. “We’re not focusing on budget restrictions or anything like that at the moment, and at this point we need to take a “big picture” approach to the whole thing.” The meeting broke into small working groups to brainstorm and discuss thoughts, with this format proving very productive and resulting in a number of ideas. Several issues came to the fore, including entry point signage, some drainage problems, and the likelihood of more trucks passing through town once further softwood plantations come online in the future. “There was also very strong support from the people of Delegate to tidy up and improve what is already there in the main commercial centre,” Mr

Council’s Peter Sullivan was among the staff on hand to discuss what the community may want to achieve through any redevelopment.

Bombala scooter club Spring was in the air for the Scooter Club’s September ride. Trailblazers Helen Daish and Edna Pirie rode along the River Walk, enjoying the many daffodils along the way before making their way to Cosmo Café for the monthly meeting. By October many of the trees along the River Walk were in magnificent full blossom. Club members battled the strong wind as they rode to the Commemoration Park before crossing the highway to the Visitors Centre. There they stopped to explore. It was a welcome relief to get out of the wind and exciting to learn of

the plans for the old and new visitors centres. A brisk ride to Cosmo Café followed for a meeting and a welldeserved lovely cuppa. The Bombala Scooter Club meets on the first Tuesday of the month. November’s ride will take place on Tuesday November 1 (Melbourne Cup Day). For more information regarding Bombala Scooter Club activities contact Bombala Community Services – Phone 6458 4620. The Scooter Group is supported by financial assistance from the Australian & NSW Governments.

Bombala is Embracing The Bombala community is excited to have its very own screening of the EMBRACE documentary coming to town this month. EMBRACE is described as a social impact documentary that explores the issue of body image, and has been highly praised for inspiring people to rethink the way they see their bodies. Bombala’s Zoe Joseph of Cre8ing More says it’s an important film for all to see, and she is the driving force behind bringing EMBRACE to Bombala. “This empowering film has resonated with so many people on so many levels,” Zoe says. “To the Bombala and surrounding communities, please gather your friends (men are welcome too), join us for a movie night and be part of The Body Image Movement.” Along with the screening, there will be a goody bag for each person who comes along, complete with vouchers from businesses both in Bombala and down the coast. The local screening will take place on Friday, October 21 in

the Bombala RSL Club auditorium from 7.30pm. Tickets are just $20 and are to be purchased through www.eventbrite. com.au About the film: “EMBRACE is a social impact documentary that explores the issue of body image. The project has been supported by nearly 9000 Kickstarter pledgers who responded to a fundraising trailer released in 2014, which has now had over 25 million internet views. “The inspiration for EMBRACE came about after I posted an unconventional beforeand-after image on the internet in 2013 that sparked an international media frenzy,” says Director, Taryn Brumfitt. “The image, which embraces body diversity, was seen by over 100 million people worldwide and led to hundreds of interviews and articles. But I soon realised how restrictive 4-minute TV interviews, 800 word articles and 140 characters on Twitter can be. “This issue needed a louder voice on a bigger platform, so the idea of creating the documentary EMBRACE was born.”

Jindabyne Lions do it again Like most communities, Jindabyne consists of 3 types of citizens; those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. Being of the first category, Jindabyne Lions Club, when it saw the need for an appropriate dedicated space where local citizens could place the ashes of departed loved ones and erect memorial plaques, the Club decided to make it happen. Reflecting the Charter of Lions International, the facility had to be open to all races and all religions. Ideally it would reflect the peace and tranquillity of the Mountains and the Lake that it overlooked and, above all, provide a space for reflection and meditation for those who might be seeking moments of quiet solitude. On Friday October 14 at 11am, Member for Monaro, John Barilaro will preside over the dedication of the Jindabyne Columbarium, (Niche Wall) at the Jindabyne Cemetery. Tucked into the rise at the back of the cemetery, overlooking the town and the lake and clustered around a central garden, the Columbarium more than fulfils the standards hoped for. Project co-ordinator, Lion Brian Farmer, today issued an open invitation to all citizens to attend the opening. Lion Brian added that, following the dedication the Columbarium will be open for business but will be administered by the Snowy Monaro Regional Council. All future enquiries should be directed to council.

Embrace is told from the point of view of Taryn as she traverses the globe talking to experts, women in the street and well-known personalities about the alarming rates of body image issues that are seen in people of all body types. In her affable and effervescent style, Taryn bares all (literally) to explore the factors contributing to this problem and seeks to find solutions. Anticipation is building for the screening of the EMBRACE documentary in Bombala on October 21.

This guide is meant for the most popular cruise destinations from Australia: the South Pacific, South East Asia and New Zealand.

GARAGE SALE TRAIL OCTOBER 22, 2016

DON’T DUMP IT, SELL IT On the Garage Sale Trail 22 October 2016 Placing your unwanted items on the kerb might seem like an innocent way of offering gifts to your neighbours but you could be adding to NSW’s expensive illegal dumping problem. In a report commissioned by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA), Council Officers reported that 83 per cent of household waste is dumped on the kerbside. Cleaning up this waste is expensive for Councils. EPA Executive Director of Waste and Resource Recovery Steve Beaman said kerbside donations were an expensive problems for councils but programs like Garage Sale Trail helped raise awareness. “Illegal dumping is much more than just an eyesore – it’s a serious and complex issue that can result in environmental harm,� Mr Beaman said. “There’s no single solution but we’re making progress. Programs like the Garage Sale Trail help to create awareness around the issue and the proper ways to dispose of unwanted items.� Many people genuinely see their act of leaving an old but functioning collection of items out on the kerbside as a donation or recycling – but this is an instance of illegal dumping. More often than not, this abandoned object finds its new “forever home� in the local landfill. Not only is this an unsatisfactory and costly outcome for councils and the environment, it’s also a missed opportunity for people to make money and create a positive outcome for the local community and environment. Now in its sixth year, Garage Sale Trail is a national initiative that sees hundreds of thousands of people participating in one big day of garage sales. Last year’s event saw almost 3 million pre-loved items

up for sale at over 13,000 garage sales across the country. Garage Sale Trail was born in 2010 as an idea to create awareness around the illegal dumping problem that existed in Bondi Beach. Darryl Nichols, Garage Sale Trail Co-Founder, said the approach was simply to get as many garage sales going on the one-day as possible and say to people ‘Don’t Dump It, Sell It.’ “We empowered the community to drive the initiative and the outcomes exceeded all expectations,� Mr Nichols said. “Now Garage Sale Trail has grown from a grassroots event to a program powered by over 54 local NSW councils alongside the NSW EPA. “ Snowy Monaro Regional Council is proud to be part of the national Garage Sale Trail. The idea of passing on what you don’t want to someone who does want it is a fantastic form of sustainability. It gives local community members the opportunity to make a few dollars from items they no longer want and in the process remove excuses for kerbside dumping. Residents are encouraged to bring out their good stuff from garages, sheds, spare rooms and attics to sell, reuse and make some extra cash. Get onto a good thing and put Saturday 22 October in your diary and register for free now at www.garagesaletrail.com.au. To report illegal dumping go to ridonline.epa.nsw. gov.au or call EPA’s Environment Line on 131 555.

Riders unite Being of steel or flesh We’re riding tonight To save the wild horse

Without the horse We would not be here We must ride for the cause And ride without fear

Hmmm, October 12…still cold. Note to Mother Nature – “Enough is Enough”. At least this year we missed the minus nine morning that froze everything a few years ago.

A common cause For you and me To save the wild horse And to stay free We must ride together For just this once

Ride with some dash Many or few Steel or Flesh We’re calling on you A serious matter Life is at stake Government hunter The horse he will take Some things are sacred

Or that still to come? Like others The Postman was pleased to hear the official confirmation that Premier Mike Baird has reversed his edict to ban greyhound racing. The Postman in no way condones cruelty to animals, especially live-baiting as has been reported in greyhound racing, but there must be a lot more good trainers who don’t do that than there are cruel ones. In any case, proper supervision, greater penalties and enforceable regulations are surely a better option than a blanket-ban? If, after a year or two, the industry hasn’t picked up its act, then maybe the industry could face closure – but at least the owners, trainers and breeders are being given a chance first. Brumby advocates now need to be pounding on Mr Baird’s office door to ensure the proposed 90 percent cull is similarly knocked on the head. Our local member, John Barilaro has long stated his support for allowing brumbies to remain in the Kosciuszko National Park, so now would be a good time to increase lobbying. While many people are complaining about magpies swooping and otherwise protecting their territory, The Postman knows of several households who live harmoniously with these beautiful birds. One Cooma family has had the same family of Magpies visiting for nearly 20 years. Not only does Mr Magpie come onto the front steps to be hand fed, but he and his spouse bring the kids over for a visit occasionally as well. Even at The Postman’s pint-sized dwelling, another Mr Magpie keeps an eye on the front door. As soon as it opens he is on the front step asking for a hand-out. He especially likes bits of sausage. His Mrs isn’t as friendly, but they do bring the family over to visit as the little’uns grow up. The reward is the beautiful Magpie morning melody!

The storm we must weather To give them a chance

Like horses wild The government secret End them with blood Differences aside Its Bullocks Hill Together we ride To end the evil Brothers in arms Stop the injustice The intrusion of homes And the death of the horse We must capture this moment

Before it’s too late End the torment End the hate Wild Australia Will be on its knees Without the rider And our brumbies Machine or horse Let us be there Ride for the cause With wind in your hair. GL O’Donoghue Bendoc

Inquiry needed into electricity market Editor, The National Electricity Market (NEM) commenced in the late 1990’s as a spot trading market. To be reasonably competitive the NEM was to have as many independent generators and retailers as possible, whilst the distribution and transmission poles and wires were to remain as regulated monopolies. That is, there was to be no vertical integration - generators owning retailers and vice-versa. This requirement saw the break-up of the then predominately State owned electricity businesses. I believe that the above NEM model

has been seriously corrupted over the intervening years as a result of mergers, acquisitions and privatisations. Generators now own retailers and viceversa and the Market structure is now approaching a Woolworths/Coles style duopoly with two or three dominant players together with a number of fringe dwellers. By allowing this to occur the ACCC - responsible for NEM regulation - has failed in its duty to protect the interests of consumers. Prior to the commencement of the NEM, Australia enjoyed amongst the lowest prices in the OECD, now it is at the opposite end of the price spectrum.

As far as I am aware there has never been a comprehensive review of the NEM; after almost 20 years of operation such a review is long overdue. Questions that need to be asked and answered, include: what has caused the rise in electricity prices: is a spot trading market still appropriate and if so is the existing market sufficiently competitive to protect consumers: is there a better market model given changes in the electricity generation mix that will continue into the foreseeable future.

Rate charges explained Editor, A recent letter to the editor (Rate notices issued: There must be some mistake/ Wednesday September 21 2016). The letter suggests that Snowy Monaro Regional Council has not adhered to the legislation hand down by the NSW Government in relation to rate increase. I can assure you this is not the case. The rate path freeze came into effect on May 12 2016 and does not apply to rate increases previously agreed to by your former councils, or to rate increases due to a rise in your land’s value. The rates adopted by Snowy Monaro Regional Council for 2017 were those, calculated by the former councils, prior to the amalgamation process. The rate freeze does not apply to waste or other charges that my be levied via your rates notice. Council’s costs continue to increase each year and councils are not immune to

inflation. This is why charges are reviewed and amended annually. Prior increases to fees and charges the suggested changes were placed on public exhibition to allow community members to provide feedback. Snowy Monaro Regional Council undertook a public exhibition period of its 2107 fees and charges between June 28 and July 28 2016. Further details about the rates for each former council can be found in council’s revenue Policy and other IP&R documents at www.snowymonaro.nsw.com.au As Administrator, I am committed to keeping fees and charges as low as possible while maintaining high quality services. Dean Lynch Administrator Snowy Monaro Regional Council

Review of workers compo Editor, The NSW Legislative Council standing committee on Law and Justice is currently conducting a review of the NSW workers compensation scheme, following further changes made to the scheme in 2015. Submission to the Upper House inquiry closed at the end of September and public hearings will be held in early November. It is perhaps timely then that October is Safe Work Month. I would urge all employers and workers to use the next few weeks to think about workplace safety, to take extra steps to protect themselves and their co-workers from injury and to ensure that everyone

returns home safely. I would also urge you to spare a thought for those who have been injured at work. While the NSW Government has addressed some of the difficulties faced by injured workers in the past year, the reality is some injured workers are still without vital support. No one wants to be injured at work, but those who have been deserve to have their rights restored. Stuart Barnett Workers Compensation General Manager Slater and Gordon Lawyers

RIPOSTE By Lisa Ashurst I’ve got a new Desk Buddy. I’ve only got him for a month, as I am just looking after him while his owners are overseas, but he has taken to me very quickly, which is lovely, and to the role of Desk Buddy like a duck to water which is…well… flattering I suppose, depending on how you look at it. On the off-chance you don’t know what a Desk Buddy is, it is usually fluffy and feline and is convinced that you need him/her (in this case, him) all over you and your workspace. Desk Buddies will inevitably bat everything on your desk with playful paws, try to catch every word of text as it flies across the screen and give you the guilts, big time, should you remove them to the floor. A floor is not a desk no matter how many toys are strewn around for their amusement and Desk Buddies don’t do the Floor Buddy thingy with the nearly the same gusto as they do the Desk Buddy thingy. They just don’t do Floor at all if you are doing Desk.

Things could have been very different though had he been so upset at suddenly finding himself in a strange house with a strange person that he’d still be hiding under the daybed or something and/ or refusing to eat! Now that would have been far more stressful to contend with than a puss hell bent on being my uber-close companion while I write this column! Okay, so that means I have mostly written this blind because I can’t really see the screen unless I kind of contort myself but it’s preferable to seeing him frightened and pancaked into a dark corner.

Thing is, Desk Buddies don’t believe you when you say you can manage to work okay without their input. That you will not die of loneliness if they aren’t there, purring in your ear nor suffer the worst bout of writer’s block you have ever experienced in your whole life if there is no big fluffy face just millimetres from yours watching your every move. They know you’re lying. And so the Desk Buddy endures.

The Coffee Club starts Dancing their way to Disney World search for NSW arts star New South Wales residents are being encouraged to nominate a local artist, designer or performer in their local community to receive a 2017 New South Wales Young Achiever Award – in The Coffee Club sponsored Fashion and Arts category. The annual Young Achiever Awards acknowledge, encourage and most importantly promote the positive achievements of all young people up to and including 29 years of age. The Coffee Club Arts and Fashion award celebrates the diversity, innovation and excellence of artists in the community and recognises that the artist’s way is not always an easy path to walk. The Coffee Club Director, John Lazarou, said The Coffee Club was delighted to continue its long-standing sponsorship of the Awards and the Fashion and Arts category. “With youth often leading the way in fashion, design, textiles, visual and dramatic art, and dance, it is important to applaud their achievements in what is often a fast-paced, stressful and success-driven environment,” he said. “Through the Arts and Fashion Award, recognition is given to those who strive for excellence, creativity and success.” The Arts and Fashion award highlights the importance of the Arts Industry and rewards the next

generation of artists who are making an important contribution to their local community. The winner of the Arts and Fashion category will receive $2,500 from Masonicare and a magnificent trophy. To submit a nomination, simply go online to www.bit.ly/nswyaa and complete the form. Nominations close Thursday, December 15 2016.

The Cooma Dance Co rep team have the opportunity to perform in Florida next year. Talent and hard work has resulted in an invitation for the Cooma Dance Co to send their rep team to perform in Florida. After doing extremely well in the Follow Your Dreams competition in Bateman’s Bay in July, the girls have qualified for Nationals in Ballarat in January next year. Through this competition, the 12 girls in the rep team have been given the opportunity to go to Florida to attend workshops and perform at Disney World. The main obstacle is the cost. Estimated at being about

$5,000 per student for the trip, Cooma Dance Co has set up a fundraising committee to try and help the girls achieve that goal. The rep team consists of Lottie Walker Broose, Gracie Anderson, Shea Ilitch, Matilda Saxby Rendal, Renae Griffis, Shelly Roberts, Despina Konstantinou, Rylie Marks, Tionie Fitzgerald, Hayley Verrent, Amy Fraser and Rachel Jones. Cooma Dance Co Director Lisa Fernance is extremely proud of the girls and their achievements and wants to do as much as possible to make the

trip happen for as many of the girls as possible. The 12 girls have many dances up their sleeve, including Broadway jazz, ballet, contemporary and lyrical. They will also learn a specific dance routine online for the whole group of performers to do together once they are in Florida. The trip is set to take place from June 27 to July 11 in 2017. Keep an eye out for fundraising events hosted by Cooma Dance Co over the next few months to help the team get to Florida for the experience of a lifetime.

Bombala Contact Group kept busy The Contact Group got out and about in August. The highlight of the month was the visit to the Bombala Fire Station. Hosted by Acting Deputy Captain Malcolm Lavender, the group enjoyed morning tea and information session on the history of the Bombala fire service and tips for fire safety. The group toured the facility and Malcolm demonstrated the use of fire safety equipment. It was a wonderful learning experience appreciated by all who attended. The group also journeyed to Bombala Hospital for morning tea and a Musical Morning with Kevin Turnbull. With new song sheets

provided by Kevin everyone was encouraged to sing along to the old time favourites. Some of the group stayed to have their lunch with hospital residents. Jacquie Pobjoy celebrated her birthday in August and the rest of the month was taken up with creating a wedding book for former Contact Group volunteer Sam Dyer. The special event in September was a card making session with Shirley Towan at the Tree of Life Papercraft shop. Following morning tea the group got busy creating some beautiful greeting cards. Shirley’s patient and careful direction

ensured that everyone enjoyed the process. The group is keen to do another session soon. Work continued on the art project for the Delegate MPS and preparations for the annual street stall. It’s always a busy time leading up to this major fundraiser for the Bombala Community Services Activity Groups. For more information regarding Contact Group activities contact Bombala Community Services – Phone 6458 4620. The Contact Group is supported by financial assistance from the Australian and NSW Governments.

Proposed Adaminaby Overseas cause comes to Cooma Men’s Shed given a boost Plans are underway to improve the social lives and mental wellbeing of Adaminaby men with a men’s shed in the pipeline. Hopes of establishing a shed were given a boost last week after a location in town was settled upon to become home to this new community space. The old Catholic primary school is set to welcome the men of Adaminaby and surrounds, as a place providing social inclusion through a safe, welcoming and accepting environment. Men will be able to use the shed as a space where they can work on projects, interact with others and discuss issues pertinent to their lives. Des from Adaminaby has played an important role in helping the shed progress from a concept to a feasible idea. He said through assistance by Snowy Monaro Regional Council, the men’s shed is closer to becoming a reality. “They are very exciting times, we’re now just awaiting approval,� Des said. “The next step is to secure the property. A proposal is before the Catholic church, once they accept we move in. “Council has been assisting us in finding a suitable location.�

Forming a men’s shed is an important step in ensuring the men of Adaminaby have a social channel to remain active in the community, according to Des. “There’s lots of elderly people in Adaminaby with little to do,� he said. “It’ll be a common shed for both males and females. It’s somewhere to go and relax.� “Lots of men don’t like talking about health issues, and this gives them a space to feel comfortable. They get to work on projects and be involved.� A decision will be made in November by the Catholic Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn in November and if successful work will commence on getting the men’s shed up and running. “There’s lots of work to do on the property but that’s what men’s sheds do.� There are 930 men’s sheds across Australia and if things go to plan Adaminaby will become the next in the line of community spaces helping men find social inclusion. “Men can just come and have a yarn and a cuppa if that is all they’re looking for,� the Australian Men’s Shed Association said.

A group of activists visited Cooma a fortnight ago on a two-day trip spreading awareness of organ pillaging occurring in China. The group from Sydney are called the Falun Dafa Association and they are involved in the persecution of the Chinese communist regime involved in killing people who practise the spiritual discipline of Falun Gong in order to traffic their vital organs.

WARM WEATHER = TIME TO CHECK YOUR SWIMMING POOL BARRIERS With the onset of warmer weather it’s a good time to check pool safety • Always keep your fence, gates, doors and window locks secure and in good condition. Regularly check them. • Always keep your gate and door latches and self-closing mechanisms in good working order. • Always close your gates and doors when not in actual use. • Never prop gates open. • Never leave climbable objects near the fence. • Always keep trees, shrubs and creepers trimmed well away from the fence. • Always leave your filter covered so small children cannot get into it and keep chemicals out of view and reach. • Always supervise children around the pool at all times. A fence is no substitute for responsible supervision. • Teach your children to swim from an early age. • Undertake resuscitation (CPR) training for emergency situations. All private pools/spa pools need to be registered with the NSW Governments new pool registration site – www.swimmingpoolregister.nsw.gov.au

Aged Care Complaints Commissioner releases first annual report The Minister for Health and Aged Care, Sussan Ley and Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care, Ken Wyatt AM have welcomed the release of the Aged Care Complaints Commissioner’s first annual report. Ministers Ley and Wyatt congratulated Commissioner Rae Lamb on the report. “The report shows that people – consumers, family, carers and loved ones – are speaking up when it comes to concerns about their aged care services and this is a good thing. The Government has been working hard to reform aged care and give consumers greater choice and control over their aged care services,” Minister Ley said. “I’m pleased to see the results demonstrate that the Commissioner and her team continue to excel. It’s good to see that the overall percentage of complaints relating to aged care remains low, and a testament to the Commissioner’s team that the majority of complaints are finalised in under 30 days,” Minister Wyatt said. “It is important that consumers and advocates have confidence in the quality and independence of the Commissioner.” Minister Wyatt said that a complaint to the Commissioner gives the provider an opportunity to improve their delivery of aged care

services to consumers. “At the end of the day, the increase in the public’s engagement with the Commissioner will translate into positive outcomes for all consumers,” Minister Wyatt said. “Together with strong professional relationships between the Department of Health and the Australian Aged Care Quality Agency, the Commissioner is making a real difference to improving the quality and confidence in aged care services. This is what the government’s reforms are trying to achieve – better choice and better services.” The Commissioner replaced the former Aged Care Complaints Scheme and supports independent and impartial complaint handling for Australian Government funded aged care services. The Commissioner also aims to educate people and aged care providers about the best ways to handle complaints and the issues they raise. The report includes data on aged care complaints, including information not previously available, and outlines support provided by the commission to care recipients and service providers. The report is available online at: https://www.agedcarecomplaints. gov.au/about/annual-report/

Auxiliary about to turn 80 The Bombala Hospital Ladies Auxiliary is set to celebrate a huge milestone this week, marking its 80th birthday this coming Friday, October 14. The small but dedicated group of locals is welcoming a series of special guests to the Bombala Golf Club for the occasion, including Hospital Auxiliary State President, Linda Swales and Regional representative, Chris Smith. A number of Auxiliaries from around the region will attend to pass on their well wishes at the birthday celebrations, including those from Cooma, Bega, Moruya, Queanbeyan and nearby Delegate. And of course a series of local guests who have been involved in the Auxiliary and the Bombala Hospital will also be a part of the special day. Bombala President, Jenni Brownlie will welcome the group to morning tea, while addresses will be made by the Bombala Hospital’s Rhonda Stewart, Regional rep,Chris Smith and guest speaker for the morning, “bra lady” Wendy Christianson. A certificate of recognition will be presented to the Auxiliary by the Snowy Monaro Regional Council, and a birthday cake will

be cut by the State President, with a baked lunch also being served to round out the day.

A brief history of the Bombala Hospital Auxiliary (provided by the Auxiliary based on the group’s minutes) On August 8, 1936 a well attended meeting was called by Matron Pearse to form a Hospital Auxiliary. The inaugural meeting was held at the CWA rooms at the showground. Present were Mesdames Barrett, N Wright, Macarthur, Cozins, Warburton, Roberts, Kirshaw, G Garnock, McKellar and the Misses Edwards, Mead and Matron Pearse. Membership fee was 2/annually. The meetings were held the first Tuesday of each month at the CWA rooms. One meeting was held at the grandstand, no reason given in the minutes. Hope it wasn’t winter! To raise money the ladies sold rags to the garages, held hoy parties and fetes - there was no street stall then. The Auxiliary bought material to make curtains and cushions. They mended and provided other items needed for the comfort of the patients. During the war the Auxiliary

almost folded but for a few dedicated members. At this point there was a large gap in the minutes, and thus no history of the group is available for a period. In 1959 the new maternity wing was opened. The Auxiliary held a fete to raise money to buy linen and baby clothes. In 1968 the meetings moved to the hospital and were held in the nurses dining room, and were changed from Tuesday to the fourth Wednesday of each month. One item of interest, when the present matron was leaving to get married the Auxiliary bought her a lovely gift to the value of $4 - how things have changed. Over the 80 years the Auxiliary has seen a lot of changes take place regarding the hospitals. The Auxiliary has played a major role in providing much needed equipment for the comfort of the patients, now known as clients, and to assist the staff in providing care. The items bought are too numerous to mention. Without the generous support of the community we would not be able to have the well equipped hospital we have.

Great opportunity for young drivers The Cooma Car Club’s Junior Development Program will kick off on October 23 with the muchanticipated Motorkhana. Members of the Cooma Car Club will be running the day, showing young drivers the basics. From checking car oil and tyre pressure, to getting behind the wheel to practise some driving tests, it will be a great learning opportunity for young drivers. The day will be held at Gordon Litchfield Wool at Polo Flat, making use of the large private carpark for the kids to zip around. The Confederation of Australian Motor Sports (CAMS) is also co-hosting the day with the Cooma Car Club. Eligible participants are juniors aged 14 to 17 who have not previously held a CAMS licence. This is the perfect opportunity for young people who are interested in learning car control. It is all done in a safe environment and the instructors are all very experienced drivers. The aim is to teach

the participants how the car will react in certain situations. It is also a great opportunity for any young person who has an interest in entering motorsport at a grassroots level. The Junior Development Program will also include a second event at the Hillclimb at Mount Gladstone in Cooma on November 26. Participants will be able to experience car control at higher speeds in a safe environment with an instructor in the car until they feel confident enough to have a solo run. Again, Club cars are available, or participants may bring their own car, as long as they meet basic safety standards. The entry fee for both events is $30, which includes a CAMS L2SJ licence allowing them to enter any similar events in the following 12 months. For entry forms, visit www.coomacarclub.com.au or phone 0418 251 465 for more information.

Young drivers will be given the opportunity to join the exciting Cooma Car Club Hillclimb next month.

One size fits all doesn’t always fit Contact Incorporated (Contact Inc.), the Isolated Children’s Parents’ Association (ICPA Aust) and Mobile Children’s Services Association of NSW (MCSA) call upon the Australian Government to recognise the impacts of the proposed Jobs For Families Child Care Package for early education and care access in rural and regional Australia and commit to find ways to sustain current models of early childhood care that are effectively and efficiently reaching rural and remote children and families. ICPA Aust, Contact Inc. and MCSA support the Government’s efforts to improve and open up the Budget Based Funding programme to provide opportunities for growth and refinement and to make for a more affordable, more flexible and more accessible streamlined child care system. However, unitedly the three organisations are concerned that streamlining of Child Care funding - a one size fits all – may render many of the current Australian Government Budget Based Funded (BBF) Mobiles unviable and the likely impact is that the early education and care of isolated children and their families will suffer. Wendy Hick, Federal ICPA President, highlighted that “BBF Mobile Children’s Services provide high quality early education and care services that are deeply valued by ICPA Members, are supporting families to continue to live in regional Australia and are essential in reaching isolated and rural and remote communities that would otherwise miss out on access to early education and care”. MCSA President, Ms Fisicaro, supported this view and said “our BBF Mobile Children’s Services visit communities and deliver early learning and care services including child care and play session programmes where centrebased children’s services are not otherwise readily available”. “Many of the children, families and communities that the BBF Mobile Children’s Services visit can be quite marginalised and isolated. A commitment from the Australian Government to find ways to continue to fund the various models of early education and care delivered through Mobile Children’s Services is essential in ensuring their future” commented Sue Kingwill, Contact Inc. CEO. Unitedly Contact Inc., ICPA Aust and MCSA call for amendments to the Jobs For Families Child Care Package and any resulting guidelines as a one size fits all approach would compromise many rural and remote families continued affordable access to early education and care currently delivered through the BBF Mobile children’s services.

26 Grants to protect the Monaro’s heritage

NEWS

Wednesday October 12, 2016

The Member for Monaro John Barilaro today announced $37,000 in NSW Government heritage grants to protect the regions local heritage. “The NSW Government’s Heritage Grant Program is designed to help communities care for their local heritage,” Mr Barilaro said. Some successful projects include: · $25,000 for heritage advisor services for Snowy Monaro Regional Council and Queanbeyan- Palerang Regional Council. ·$12,000 for local heritage projects for Snowy Monaro Regional Council and Queanbeyan- Palerang Regional Council. Mr Barilaro said 196 grants were awarded to help communities protect, value and gather more information

about their local heritage. One of the four grant streams will help councils fund studies, run their own small grants programs and secure the services of heritage advisors. “Looking after our heritage is everyone’s responsibility and local government plays an important role in maintaining heritage at a community level,” Mr Barilaro said. “The local government grants will enable councils across the state to fund their own small grants programs to encourage community action on the front line of heritage protection.” For more information about the NSW Government’s Heritage Grants, see http://www. environment.nsw.gov. au/Heritage/funding/.

Finally, a Men’s Shed for the Bonang area The communities of the Bonang area are very excited to announce that the Tubbut Neighbourhood House’s submission for a $60,000 grant to build a Men’s Shed has been successful. “Men’s Sheds are a proven way to help men in towns and cities overcome the impacts of isolation,” said coordinator, Deb Foskey. “My colleague Lisa Camp and I worked with local men to put the grant application together. “Our communities are still recovering from the fires in February 2014 and opportunities to get together are often limited to meetings which aren’t the best places to talk about personal things. “Not everyone has a family to turn to – many people live alone in isolated conditions in our area. “We are aware that as rural populations decline and farming becomes more mechanised men in particular spend more time alone and are less likely than women to jump on the phone or visit a neighbour when they feel low. “We know our Men’s Shed will be unique as it will need to suit our situation. It will be designed to serve several

communities, Tubbut, Deddick, Bonang, Goongerah and Delegate River. “Local needs will have to be covered: these include the ability to work on cars and motors, chainsaws and other wood working gear and develop an income stream working with Tubbut Neighbourhood House. “We will be seeking donations of labour, equipment and other goods to help us along. $60,000 doesn’t go far when isolation magnifies costs. Local residents have already promised equipment. “Many tourists come through our area. The Men’s Shed will be a point of contact with locals and a source of products that they can buy. “The next step is to seek all the Shire approvals and consult the CFA about the fire overlay. “We will be thinking outside the envelope as we develop plans and talk with local people about their ideas. “A community meeting with Lindsay Oates, Vice President of the Victorian Men’s Shed Association, will be held as soon as it can be arranged to kick the conversation off,” Deb concluded.

HISTORIC ASTON STATION O F T HE T H E H I S T O RY ARO S N OW Y M O N N REGI O The photo this column is of Aston Station Station, (date unknown) approximately 12km out of Bombala on the road to Delegate, is documented in various sources from the earliest settlement of the Bombala area. Following is a brief selection of these: According to Maureen McGee in Early History of the Bombala End of the Monaro, on the Monaro Pioneer site, the first owner of Aston *Aboriginal name Curraggon) was Atkinson of Bong Boing, then Kingsworthy and Lloyd, with the property managed by Baylin (Baylis/Bayliss in other sources). In early 1838, it is recorded that Bayliss travelled from Aston in search of grazing land further south. (Ian Clarke, in The Buchan Caves Reserve, 2016). The ownership passed to Hamilton and then to Sir James Matheson, with a D McKay employed as his manager and McKeachnie as his storekeeper. (Bombala Times Fri 2nd August 1918). By 1846, Aston was an established property which consisted of a ‘dwelling house containing three rooms, detached kitchen, store, woolshed and barn”. (Sydney Morning Herald Mon 2nd Feb 1846), p4.) Also in 1846 (some sources state 1845) following the untimely death of the storekeeper’s son David McKeachnie, James Matheson gave one acre of land to the McKeachnie family in order that they could bury their son. This small cemetery has two of the earliest graves in the area: David McKeachne, MD, born 19.1.1811, died 17.6.1848 aged 42 years. Charles Campbell Elton, late of

When you have read

Leap into Frogwatch this spring 2016 The wettest winter in 18 years has certainly brought out our local frogs to chorus in song. Did you know that it is only the males that call and that each species has its own special call? This makes them easy to tell apart just by listening to their calls. Listening to our frogs can also tell us a lot about our local environment. As frogs live on land and return to water sources to breed this makes them a good indicator for habitat and waterway health. In a year such as this one we are also more likely to come across the full diversity of frog species that may be present. For those that want to find our more the Frogwatch seminar (to be held tonight, 6-8pm at the Cooma TAFE) will teach people how to tell apart local frog species by their calls as well as how to monitor frog diversity in their creek, river, dam or garden pond. Monitoring frogs is fun and easy and no previous

frog expertise is required. It involves simply taking a twominute recording close to

dusk. Monitoring occurs during Waterweek (16-22 October) as this is the time of year when most local species are calling. Frog recordings are verified through the Frogwatch program. Cooma Waterwatch is

encouraging people to get involved. “In particular we are looking for volunteers that

might want to help monitor frogs on the Cooma Creeks so we can get a picture of frog biodiversity there. However, if people want to do other sites, that is welcome too,� Antia Brademann, Cooma Waterwatch program

coordinator, said Frog monitoring on the Cooma Creeks will contribute to the ‘Improve Water Quality and Habitat Value within Cooma Creeks’ project which was funded by the NSW Environmental Trust this year. As part of the project Snowy Monaro Regional Council will control woody weeds, stabilise a streambank erosion site and revegetate the creek to improve habitat and protect biodiversity, including our local frog species. By monitoring frog species over time the project can record the effect of frog friendly improvements on the creek systems. To register for the Frogwatch seminar please contact Antia (Cooma Waterwatch) on 0429 778 633 or coomawaterwatch@gmail. com

A pantomime treat for all ages Cooma Little Theatre is in the final stages of preparing the pantomime “Sleeping Beauty� by Bob Hammond. This classic fairy tale contains all the characters one would expect in such a show. A wicked witch with her two hobgoblins, a kindly (if somewhat ditzy) good fairy, a bossy, keen to dance, queen and her bumbling king, some scheming princes, the handsome, but poor, Prince Braveheart, and of course the beautiful Princess Beauty, along with a variety of palace

staff and fairies. The storyline follows the attempted courting of the Princess by the Princes. The wicked curse placed upon the Princess by the witch, saving of the Princess and subsequent saving of the Prince from further evil plans of the witch. The directors, Nell Pernitsch and Jayne Keegan have added a distinctly 50s and 60s flavor to the production with the choice of great songs and fashions from that era. Choreographer Tenneille Cassanova has designed and created

some very exciting and fun dance routines, which include jazz, tap and ballet. Our technical wizard Liz Sherlock is preparing a visual feast of lighting magic to wow audiences. The theatre is pleased to introduce a number of new members in this play with the cast ranging in age from 8 to ‌ well very grown up. There will also be some familiar faces to audience members who have seen plays at the theatre in recent years. This will be the theatre’s final production for 2016 and we will

look forward to bringing you some more entertainment in our beautifully renovated venue next year. This show is suitable for all ages and is a wonderful way to introduce young people to the magic of theatre. Don’t miss out, get tickets now. Performance dates: October 28 and 29 at 7pm.

28 Jindabyne Trail Stewardship seeks your help

NEWS

Wednesday October 12, 2016

A small group of community members, volunteers and keen trail users have formed to ensure the trail network is championed, adequately maintained and improved upon, not only for the visitors to the region, but the local community. This custodian group is known as the Jindabyne Trail Stewardship. The maintenance and restoration of our trails is an ongoing and vital undertaking. Since Jindabyne Trail Stewardships commencement in 2014, it has been well supported particularly by volunteers coming to trail maintenance days to prune, whipper snip, dig, rake, stomp, move rock and dirt and learn why trails are designed the way they are. The Jindabyne community thank those volunteers for their ongoing commitment to the trail network. The 2016/17 season commenced with a trail maintenance day in September with volunteers working on Mill Creek Trail and Orbital Trail (one for more advanced riders or walkers). Future trail maintenance days have been organised for October 15 and November 26. Along the Coppertom and Mill Creek trails, posts have identification numbers, if you see something along the trail needing attention, please contact the Jindabyne Trail Stewardship or Snowy Monaro Regional Council and inform them with as much detail as you can. Jindabyne Trail Stewardship has liaised with Snowy Monaro Regional Council to discuss a variety of issues such as commercial tourism operator

fees, increased and improved trail signage, an audit of existing trails and future trail planning. The Stewardship has applied for and also worked with other not-for-profit groups within the community to apply for grants for new trails and infrastructure. In order to assist Jindabyne Trail Stewardship to continue its advocacy within the community and with Snowy Monaro Regional Council, the Stewardship is seeking partnerships with local individuals and businesses. The Stewardship has developed a partnership document with several options available: Come be a volunteer on trail days; inkind contributions; financial partners; sponsor a trail; come to one of our functions or come to us with an idea. For 2016/17 Snowy Vets has sponsored the Coppertom Trail and Alpine Fire Safety have sponsored Mill Creek Trail. The Stewardship has also partnered financially with many generous and varied businesses and individuals to pay for such items as safety equipment, new tools or maintenance the volunteers can’t do, as well as receiving some much needed in-kind donations to support the volunteers in their maintenance or as thank you vouchers for their sweat equity. To obtain a Partnership Proposal document, further information or to make a contribution please contact: jindabynetrailstewardship@gmail.com Matt Murtagh Secretary 0409 656 270 Jindabyne Trail Stewardship – Facebook http://www.jindabynetrailstewardship.org.au/

Think before you flush To prevent problems with sewers, pipes and toilet blockages, Snowy Monaro Regional Council is urging residents and visitors to take a closer look at their personal hygiene disposal habits and think before they flush non-flushable items which impact upon our unique environment. Council is partnering with local and global supporters to minimise sewer flooding and pollution through a push for better labelling on all wipes and personal hygiene products. With some companies falsely labelling products as flushable, manufacturers are urged to provide their customers with clear and unambiguous information about appropriate disposal methods, with clear ‘do not flush’ labelling on all wipes and personal hygiene products. Tests undertaken by Sydney Water and Choice have confirmed wet wipes, whether branded ‘flushable’ or not, do not break down as claimed and should never be flushed down the toilet. “Looking into the future, we hope that this initiative will see manufactures using new innovative materials that pass the technical standards that have been developed and agreed upon by the water and wastewater industry,” General Manager, Joseph Vescio said. Only the 3Ps (pee, poo and toilet

paper), should be flushed. All other products need to be disposed of responsibly in an appropriate bin. This includes, but is not limited to, personal wipes, baby wipes, makeup wipes, kitchen and bathroom cleaning wipes, paper towel, facial tissues and all personal hygiene products. “Changing the habits of our community and visitors is the first step we as a Council can take in minimising the environmental impacts caused by flushing products that are unable to breakdown. “Sewer flooding and pollution comes as a cost not only to the environment, but to our ratepayers who bear the cost of ongoing clean-ups and repairs”, Mr Vescio said. Those wishing to show their support can go on line to the Choice website www.choice.com.au/ flushbusters to join the campaign against false ‘flushable’ claims. For more information on this or any other Council matters please phone our 24/7 customer service line 1300 345 345.

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

Why use a broker? There are many differences between Banks/Lenders, not restricted to interest rates & fees. They have differing policies as well that can mean the difference between being approved or declined for your dream home. I have access to many different Lenders, which allows me to compare the different options available to you. I will then present options to you, with my recommendation, as to which option I feel is best for your circumstance. First Home Buyers - who have no idea of the requirements or process involved in buying your first home, I can offer you advice. I can give you all the information you need - how much you can borrow, what deposit you need, explain about guarantees and mortgage insurance. I also do all the processing for you, making it as easy as possible for you. Existing home loans- if you want to see if there is a better deal out there for you, I can offer a free review. Investment property - not sure if you can afford that investment property? Don’t know how much equity is available in your existing home? I can look at your options for you. Upgrading- you may not have to wait until you sell your existing home. Let me show you the possibilities. No matter what your circumstance, I am happy to offer my advice.

10,000 reasons to be safer on farm Faulkner is new manager The Cooperative Research Centre for Sheep Industry Innovation (Sheep CRC) has moved to maximise the ongoing impact of its research through the appointment of experienced agribusiness leader David Faulkner as its product commercialisation manager. Mr Faulkner has worked in the animal health and feed industries since the 1980s in Australia, Brazil, China and throughout South-East Asia, with his extensive resume including roles in sales, marketing and management for major firms including Alltech, Cyanamid Websters and SmithKline Beecham/ Pfizer Animal Health. Most recently he has run his own recruitment, training and professional development business in agriculture across the Asia-Pacific region. Mr Faulkner’s new role is focussed on commercially positioning the range of products developed by the Sheep CRC since 2001 to deliver ongoing and economically sustainable benefits for the sheep industry. “The focus of all of the Sheep CRC’s activities and the products it has developed since its inception has been to advance the Australian sheep industry,” Mr Faulkner said. “But with decreasing resources in the State Government extension services we need to be looking to new models for delivery of information and new products that are more commercially focused. “My professional experience in the sales and marketing of products and services in the livestock industry has helped me understand Australia’s position as a major supplier of highquality food and fibre to the world, and in this new role I hope to be able to contribute to the development

of the livestock industry’s future through effective marketing of innovative products.” The Sheep CRC operates as part of the Federal Department of Industry, Innovation and Science’s CRC program. It is a collaboration of over 40 organisations from across industry, government and the commercial sector, and includes producer groups, farm advisers, universities and research organisations, meat processors and retailers. Mr Faulkner said working with this network of industry partners was an immediate priority in order to bring products to market as quickly as possible and ensure a rapid adoption rate by end-users. “Another major objective for me is to develop new models for the commercial delivery of products in the genomic, data analytics and research and development areas that ensure that the positive impact of the CRC’s research continues to be available well after the end of the CRC in 2019,” he said Mr Faulkner will work closely with producers, his industry network, the Sheep CRC’s researchers and app development teams to help shape the new products under development for advancing animal productivity and wellbeing. “An effective communication platform is essential to detail the products, their benefits and how to use them. It’s very encouraging that the Sheep CRC has already developed very effective communication methods including farmer meetings, its website and social media platforms which will be used to extend information the length and breadth of the industry,” he said.

Sheep CRC has appointed David Faulkner as its product commercialisation manager.

enjoy growing up on the farm as I did,” he said. “Now that we are improving the culture of safety on our farm, our policy states that no-one works in the stockyards alone, regardless of whether they’re adults or children.” This new policy for stockyards came out of the first ever Warradarge Hill tailgate (informal safety) meeting that was held earlier this year. “To ensure there are no dangerous incidents now and in the future, we all agreed that two people were required in the sheep (and cattle) yards at all times, whether they’re back-lining, weighing or even drafting sheep,” Mr Browne said. The two-people policy will not only create a safer working environment, but two sets of eyes means staff are more likely to notice potential maintenance issues in the sheep yards which ultimately drives productivity, according to Mr Browne. “Simple stuff like maintaining good latches in the yards not only makes it safer for the workers to open and close the gates, but it will potentially ensure the mob doesn’t get mixed up and cost us hours redrafting,” he said. “Time equals money in our game, particularly now we’re growing. For us, implementing a formal WHS plan comes at a very low cost and we believe it makes good business sense.” The new online beef, sheep and wool production manuals, launched by the Primary Industries Health and Safety Partnership (PIHSP) this year, offer practical tools such as checklists, templates and guidelines to help producers plan and implement best practice on-farm health and safety initiatives. The goal of the Partnership is to improve the health and safety of workers and their families in farming industries across Australia. It is funded by the Cotton, Grains and Rural Industries Research and Development Corporations, as well as the Australian Meat Processor Corporation and Meat & Livestock Australia.

Business growth and increased staff numbers over the past eight years has prompted Western Australian sheep producer Will Browne to instil a culture of safety into his operation through the adoption of a formalised work health and safety (WHS) plan. Until quite recently Mr Browne’s operation Warradarge Hill was a one-man band, but after increasing the farm size to 10,000 hectares and his Merino flock to 10,000 ewes, he’s been forced to add three new permanent staff members. “Previously being an operation with no employees, I was able to get by with a ‘common sense’ approach to health and safety, but now with the safety of a new team to consider, it’s time to really ramp it up,” Mr Browne said. “There are quite a few people involved in the sheep side of the business with shearers, truck drivers and lamb marking contractors, so we’ve decided to adopt a formal but easy-to-follow plan that will help make my family, staff and contractors safer and more productive. “The idea is to make health and safety a priority for our team, and get everyone in the habit of thinking about the safest and most efficient ways to tackle every task that they do.” Through his role as chairman of the livestock committee for West Midlands Group – a local crop and pasture research group – Mr Browne recently had the opportunity to work on a new WHS online sheep manual with Associate Professor Tony Lower from the Australian Centre for Agricultural Health and Safety. Mr Browne was asked to provide feedback on the manual after “ground-truthing” sections of the online resource on his own farm. The process has led him to more critically evaluate on-farm health and safety. “As a father of four school children I am conscious of the safety hazards on the farm, but by the same token I want my kids to learn about agriculture and

Fire safety extravaganza Congratulations on your retirement In the relatively remote community of Mallacoota in Far East Gippsland, a small group of concerned fire fighters, under the banner of Our Communities, Our Emergencies, Our Resilience #WeWorkAsOne, recently took the initiative to organise an event, the Double Creek Extravaganza. The aim of this event was to bring the community together with all their local emergency services, offering residents a programme of outstanding speakers. Topics were designed to promote a conversation amongst the Mallacoota, Gipsy Point and Genoa residents and landholders on their awareness and preparedness for emergencies – particularly relating to the threat of fire. Leading Australian experts in their respective fields, Bill Gammage (historian and author of The Biggest Estate on Earth), David Packham OAM, Malcolm Gill (ex-CSIRO) and Vic Jurskis (author of Firestick Ecology) shared with residents their vast knowledge and experience of fire, its historical, current and future effect on our landscape, an understanding and appreciation of the effects and dynamics of bushfire behaviour, and the impact of severe bushfire on the urban environment. Adding depth to this line up, another five speakers also addressed the audience on the local history of the area relating to fire, Bushfire Attack Levels for new buildings, birdlife and fire, and management of large animals (particularly horses) in the event of fire. The day also included successful fire demonstrations by DELWP and CFA, displays of emergency services equipment as well as other family activities. For this community, the threat of fire each summer is very great,

largely due to the immense area of bush which surrounds the town extending, virtually uninterrupted except by a few roads, from Bemm River in the southwest to Pambula in the north and just short of Delegate and Bombala to the NW. The area includes Croajingalong National Park (88,355ha), Alfred National Park (3,050ha), Nadgee Nature Reserve (20,671ha), Ben Boyd National Park (10,490ha), Coopracambra National Park (38,800ha), and all State Forests in between. A spokesperson for the Community Safety and Resilience Team summarised, saying, “The Double Creek Extravaganza was designed to engage our community in an ongoing discussion.� “Not all speakers we heard had the same point of view; that diversity is indicative of the community conversations we need to engage in.� “What is certain is that we have a risk which needs to be proactively addressed as the ‘do nothing’ option could be very uncomfortable if not catastrophic.� “The more information we have about the resources we have available in a community emergency and the likely scenarios we face, the better will be our response leading up to, and our resilience after, any event.� “Feedback suggests that while there are differing points of view, we do recognise the risk and the important discussion has started in the lead up to our summer season. That conversation started with the 250 or so attendees needs to be converted into prudent actions as quickly as possible.�

Forestry Corporation employees of Bombala, Bert Ingram, Jimmy Peck, Julie Peadon, Bob Walder, Gary Moreing and Trevor Morgan. Julie was presented with a wooden axe on her recent retirement, representing over 30 years of service. The Forestry Corporation of NSW has been fortunate to benefit from the services of many longserving staff in the local community. Recently, Business Support Officer, Julie Peadon retired after 37 years of service in Bombala; Danny Farrell retired after 29 years in Sales and

Administration; and Workshop Mechanic, Trevor Morgan retired after 29 years. “We thank our local staff for their contributions during their long careers with Forestry Corporation and wish them all the best in their retirement,� said Bombala District Manager, Bruce Chadderton.

Monaro Education Foundation makes a difference Most of us have heard of the Monaro Education Foundation (MEF), but do we know what it’s all about and who it’s actually helping? The MEF was established to provide much needed financial assistance and support to local youth to help them achieve their post high school education, training and vocation aspirations. The Foundation recognises that the cost of rural students pursuing their post high school goals is often much greater than those of their metropolitan counterparts and that sometimes these costs can be prohibitive. With this in mind, the MEF fundraises throughout the year and accepts donations from local residents and businesses in order to provide financial grants to students who need an extra helping hand. The funds come directly from the local community – none of it is government funded – celebrating the aspirations of local youth and working to help them achieve these aspirations. One of those who is now chasing her career dreams with the help of MEF is Bombala’s Jessie Morgan, who has received scholarships from the Foundation through all three years of the degree that she has almost completed. Jess is currently in her third and final year of a Bachelor of Exercise

Science at Charles Sturt University in Bathurst. She became interested in Exercise Science through participation in representative sporting teams, particularly netball, and following her HSC studies at Bombala High School and then a gap year, Jess was thrilled to start her course in 2014. “I’m really interested in the injury prevention and treatment side of sport,” she said. “I have always wanted to become a Sports Physiotherapist or something to do with strengthening and conditioning, and sports training. “Work experience with physiotherapists sort of cemented the idea that I was on the right career path.” After graduating, Jess hopes to be accepted into a Masters of High Performance at ACU in Sydney; a degree based around strengthening and conditioning, sports training and sports rehab. “I eventually want to pursue a career in rehab, and the strengthening and conditioning of injured athletes,” Jess says. “I’d love to work with professional sporting teams and train injured athletes back to pre-injury performance.” And Jess is nothing but grateful for the assistance that she has

received through the MEF during her studies. “The first year it helped to set me up for my degree with a laptop, printer, textbooks and so on,” she said. “The next two years I have put the money towards accommodation and textbooks.” Jess explains that she first applied for the scholarship through the Bombala High School, then each year she just kept reapplying directly through the MEF. “It is actually really easy to apply,” she said. “They are very understanding of your individual circumstances and what you need to ultimately cover some of your expenses, and help out in any way they can.” Given her high course load, Jess isn’t able to work while she studies in Bathurst, so she works as many jobs as she can over the summer holidays to save as much as possible for the year ahead. “The last lot of holidays I was on placement, so the scholarship especially helped as I could not save as much as usual,” she said. “Without the support of the

Act now to boost your superannuation fund After months of uncertainty and intense lobbying, last week the federal government backed away from some of the controversial aspects of its superannuation reform. It has now dumped plans to impose a $500,000 lifetime cap on non-concessional contributions and instead reduced the annual non-concessional cap to $100,000 from July 1, 2017, until an individual’s balance reaches $1.6 million. Treasurer Scott Morrison had superannuation front and centre in his maiden budget in May, announcing an immediate $500,000 lifetime cap on non-

concessional contributions replacing the existing $180,000 cap and $540,000 threeyear ‘bring forward’ cap. Now, individuals have the ability to bring forward three years’ worth of contributions to a single year, allowing them to contribute up to $300,000 a year. This back down is a reprieve for those who plan to push more into their superannuation fund this financial year. The window to make larger nonconcessional contributions is now open for another nine months. But the government has elected to retain

the minimum work requirements on people over 65 wishing to make contributions to their superannuation even though the budget outlined this legislation would be abolished. It’s important for primary producers to note the 2017 financial year may be the last opportunity for them to transfer substantial rural land to their self managed super fund (SMSF) using the larger non-concessional caps. Where individuals still have access to the three-year ‘bring forward’ concessions they could make an ‘in specie’ contribution of

business real property into their SMSF up to the value of $540,000 a person or $1.08m a couple if under the age of 65. From next July this will be reduced to $300,000/person or $600,000/couple using the ‘bring forward’ provisions where the contributions do not increase each individual’s balance beyond $1.6m. Superannuation is complex and getting the right advice is imperative because errors with contributions and structuring land in SMSF’s can have huge negative consequences down the track.

New skills-based taskforce to drive genetic improvement Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) has announced a new skills-based taskforce to drive the direction of the National Livestock Genetics Consortium. The taskforce contains a range of representatives from across the livestock genetics industry, including producers who are at the forefront of genetic evaluation, improvement and adoption. Seven of the 11 positions on the taskforce are from the production sector. The research sector is represented by two of the best minds in Australian research, Professor Ben Hayes from University of Queensland (UQ) and Dr Sigrid Lehnert from the CSIRO. The major breed societies, who are significant contributors to the Consortium, are represented through Brett Coombe and Peter Parnell. The skills-based taskforce will be jointly chaired by Richard Norton, MLA Managing Director and Dougal Gordon, NSW Department of Primary Industries. MLA has also provided Michael Crowley, General Manager – Producer Consultation and Adoption, as the interim Executive Officer. The new National Livestock Genetics Consortium Taskforce members are: • Michael Lyons - Beef producer, ‘Wambiana’ Charters Towers, Queensland (Northern beef producer) • Tom Gubbins - Te Mania Angus, Hexham, Victoria (Southern beef producer) • Mark Mortimer - Centre Plus Merinos, Tullamore, NSW (Merino producer) • Tom Bull - LAMBPRO seedstock, Holbrook NSW (Prime lamb producer) • Peter Parnell - CEO, Angus Australia (representing breed societies) • Brett Coombe - Treasurer, Australian Brahman Breeders’ Association (representing breed societies) • Dr Sigrid Lehnert - CSIRO (representing research sector) • Professor Ben Hayes - University of Queensland (representing research sector) • Tom Maguire - Teys Australia (representing feedlot/processors) • Gerard Davis - General Manager, Innovation & Technology, Australian Agricultural Company (AACo) (vertically integrated company) • Sam Harburg - North Australian Pastoral Company (NAPCO) (Composite beef commercial producer) The new taskforce will focus on delivering disruptive new genetic and genomic technologies, address the adoption barriers in the delivery of genetic research, development and adoption (RD&A) across

the Australian red meat value chain, a speed at which technology is developing and vision for the Consortium – and this taskforce will drive that agenda,” Mr Norton said. national genetic and genomic data platform changing around the globe. The taskforce will immediately get to work “There is a need to be far more agile and that supports a culture of data sharing across the red meat value chain and world leading proactive in exploring disruptive technologies to allow the new funding process for the results in genetic improvement and adoption. to accelerate productivity gains and data period from now until 2020 to get underway. The taskforce will also decide which delivery. The MLA Board was clear in this cattle and sheep genetics research projects should be recommended for funding to the MLA Board. www.adinamerinos.com.au The formation of the skills((under construction)) based taskforce follows a decision by the MLA Board at its last meeting not to proceed with the full implementation plan developed by the Consortium’s Implementation Committee. A subsequent meeting of investors and livestock genetics industry stakeholders was held in Brisbane last week to discuss priority areas for funding. Following this, nominations to join the taskforce were opened and considered by a selection committee using a skills-based matrix. MLA Managing Director Richard Norton said this new model of collaborative research, development and adoption delivery will ensure Australia remains at the forefront of technological advancements in genetics. “The taskforce contains an outstanding balance of some of the best minds in the genetics field representing the breadth of the industry including researchers, breed societies, integrated businesses and feedlot/processors,” Mr Norton said. “There is a strong producer representation – with a great mix of northern and southern producers from across both beef and sheep sectors. “All of these producers are recognised as innovators in our industry, demonstrating cutting edge techniques and practices in their enterprises. They will ensure that adoption is at the Ray & Margaret Barron forefront of decisions being made by the Consortium.” Ph: (02) 6454 3149 Mr Norton said it was critical Fax: (02) 6454 3201 to set a clear direction for the future of genetic RD&A given the

Big offering of quality rams at Hazeldean spring sale Hazledean will offer its largest team for some years at its Annual Monaro Ram Sale on October 27. Jim Litchfield, stud principal says he is very pleased with this year’s draft of young rams. “We are offering sons of some Australia’s

highest performing rams including Hazeldean Hugh 11.3542. “The influence Hugh has had on our program has been immense.� Jim says. 20+ sons of this outstanding sire are catalogued and represent an ideal opportunity to secure leading genetics from one of the industry’s most proven and prepotent rams sitting at the top of index ranking. Also in this draft are sons of Hazeldean Haricot 11.43 who stamps his progeny with a very stylish wool preferred by buyers and very suitable to high

rainfall environments. Other sires include high performing Hazeldean Amicale 12.4059 who topped the June shearing sire progeny average for raw fleece weight. Amicale is a very soft handling fine wool ram who breaks the fibre diameter fleece weight conflict in great style. Also included are sons of two high performing outside sires – Nerstane 10.958 and Centre Plus 907538. Both these sires are independently proven high performance sires with large numbers of progeny to give certainty to expected progeny performance.

Hazeldean’s program is all about maximising the fundamental profit driver in agriculture – returns per hectare. Wool is still the most important determinant when analysing returns from a merino operation and growing more wool per hectare is what it’s all about. Huge sheep might look appealing in the paddock but it is important to understand that the maintenance requirements of these animals is higher and therefore fewer can be run per hectare. They might cut a lot of wool but increasingly the evidence points towards less

production and profit per hectare with very large bodied sheep. Breeding is about balance and correctly prioritising selection criteria so that profit per hectare is always paramount. Hazeldean clients consistently perform at the top of performance trials, most recently in the Peter Westblade Merino Challenge – the largest trial in Australia. Hazeldean are leaders in producing the most profitable sheep in Australia. We look forward to seeing you on sale day. Inspections are welcome prior to Sale day by appointment – 6453 5555

Hinesville/West Plains ram sale Hinesville/West Plains will conduct their 15th on-property Ram Selection Day at Delegate on Wednesday 19 October at 1pm with inspections from 11am. The sale will be run under a Helmsman Auction system with Landmark Bombala as selling agent. Hinesville/West Plains is a dedicated Merino Stud stock business that is focused on one primary goal - High commercial returns to clients. Our breeding strategy is based on four primary areas – high fleece weight, high performance wool types, high bodyweights and high fertility. In recent times, Hinesville/West Plains has benchmarked our operation in numerous ways. We have entered Sire Evaluation programmes in WA, NSW and Victoria with Poll Sire West Plains Mercenary being selected as a Link Sire in the New England site. Showing is also used to promote our genetics to a wide audience. In 2015, West Plains Mercenary was awarded Supreme Exhibit at both GSSM in Canberra and Sydney Royal, a feat unheard of before in a Poll Merino. Mercenary was also entered in the Objective Measurement Classes at Sydney Royal where he was the overall winner cutting 16.5 kgs, the highest fleece weight. He was 146 kilograms, the highest bodyweight. His other measurements were 41 mm eye muscle, 6mm fat, 78% yield, and 150 mm staple length. He had the highest fleece value as well. At Dubbo National last year, Hinesville Pharaoh ET was awarded NSW Ram of the Year. He went on to represent NSW in the Australian Supreme Judging. Pharaoh was sold for $14,000 at the Dubbo Sale. In 2016 at Dubbo National, Hinesville Dinkum also sold for $14,000 to Glendonald Merino Stud,Nhill,

Victoria. Glendonald Stud sold West Plains and Hinesville sired progeny this year for $10,000, $8000, $6500, and $6000. Mercenary and Pharaoh have been used in AI and ET programs Australia wide and in New Zealand with 40 different studs using them. Pharaoh progeny at Collinsville Stud, Hallet, SA sold for $20,000 to Argentina. East Strathglen Stud, WA sold Mercenary sons for $9250, $8000 and $6000 at their recent on-property sale. Commercial clients E & S Bennetts, Mendooran, NSW report getting $146 for bare shorn wether lambs this year. P & T Tresidder, Culcairn also report selling bare shorn wether lambs for $132. Wool sales have seen several Bombala and Delegate clients listed in the highest prices of recent Sydney sales.

For any information, please contact Drew and Laura on 02 6458 8129.

Farmers warned about ovine brucellosis risk In the lead up to spring ram sales, the NSW Farmers’ Sheepmeat and Wool committees are reminding producers to be vigilant about ovine brucellosis and other animal disease when buying or selling sheep. “It is important to make sure you know the disease status before you trade any animals. Producers are encouraged to ask for a Sheep Health Statement when buying sheep,” said NSW Farmers Sheepmeat Committee Chair Ian Cargill. Mr Cargill said under the Biosecurity Act 2015, all farmers have a shared responsibility to manage biosecurity and animal health. “Make sure you examine all rams before purchase and consult a veterinarian for advice,” Mr

Cargill said. “Only buy from studs that can demonstrate freedom from ovine brucellosis. All rams on your property should be examined every year. “It’s important to ensure that stray stock are prevented from risking infection of ovine brucellosis by entering other flocks, and to prevent disease-free flocks from mixing with agisted sheep.” Wool Committee chair Andrew Wood said farmers could help boost awareness of ovine brucellosis and prevent it spreading by checking their own rams and participating in the NSW Ovine Brucellosis Accreditation Scheme. “The accreditation scheme provides ram buyers with a list of studs from which they

can purchase rams free of the disease,” Mr Wood said. Mr Wood said that NSW Farmers is seeking the mandatory implementation of the accreditation scheme for all rams sold for purposes other than slaughter. “Education about ovine brucellosis is crucial, and we are also asking the government to place greater emphasis on talking to producers about the risks from ovine brucellosis and the benefits of buying rams from accredited flocks,” Mr Wood said. “As there is no vaccination available for ovine brucellosis, producers should be vigilant in preventing the disease from establishing in your flock.”

Action on weeds welcomed Minister for Primary Industries, Niall Blair has announced nearly $10 million to help manage the worst of our weeds, as part of the NSW Government’s Weeds Action Program. “More than $8.5 million has been allocated to regional projects and an additional $1.5 million will target statewide problem weeds for example through coordinated planning, new incursion response and biological control,” Mr Blair said. Noxious weeds cost farmers around $1.8 billion a year in control measures and lost production. “High risk weeds such as parthenium and tropical soda apple continue to put pressure on our borders, and established weeds such as African lovegrass and serrated tussock are a constant concern for farmers across NSW,” Mr Blair said.

“This is a significant amount of funding that will be used to support compliance, awareness and surveillance, largely by local councils. “We know that a consistent and coordinated approach to regional weed control planning and delivery is the most effective so these projects are supported by Local Land Services.” The NSW Government’s Weeds Action Program is a key initiative under the NSW Invasive Species Plan and the NSW Biosecurity Strategy, which aim to reduce the devastating impacts of weeds on agricultural production and the environment.

Getting behind Jordan Last weekend’s multi-event kicks off the 2016/17 athletics season

Glen Bedingfield and Kellie Power were grateful to accept a cheque on behalf of their daughter Jordan Bedingfield, who will represent Australia in netball in New Zealand this month. The money was raised by the Southern Monaro Cattledogs with the support of the Bombala district community. The Southern Monaro Cattledogs - now better known as part of the Southern Monaro Men of League have been very pleased to present former Bombala netballer, Jordan Bedingfield with the proceeds of its recent raffle nights. Jordan will represent Australia in the World Invitational Netball Series in New Zealand this month, and the Cattledogs held a series of raffles over recent weeks to help raise funds towards her trip. The $1,000 cheque was handed over to Jordan’s parents, Glen Bedingfield and Kellie Power on September 23, and both they and Jordan were grateful for the kind

donation. “I would just like to thank the community for their generous donations towards my trip to NZ to represent Australia in the World Mixed Netball Championship,” Jordan said. “Thanks to the Cattledogs committee, and in particular Tommy Herbert, for arranging the raffles at the Globe Hotel and the raffles at St George District Netball. “It is a great honour to be selected to represent your country, and it is equally rewarding to receive the support and wishes from my home town.”

Roads and Maritime services delivering on regional boating safety plans Roads and Maritime Services is making significant progress towards implementing 11 Regional Boating Plans aimed at improving safety, access and infrastructure for boaters across the state. Maritime Director Angus Mitchell said the plans were developed last year after an extensive consultation process with local councils, boating stakeholders and water users in each region. “The Regional Boating Plans identified strategies to improve navigation including upgrading aids to navigation, better safety

signage and increasing the number of courtesy moorings,” he said. “Since October 2014, 743 navigation aids have either been installed or upgraded, an additional 130 moorings have been installed and 710 new and upgraded signs placed in numerous waterways across NSW. “This work has been at a cost of $3.3 million but already boaters are noticing the difference and feedback has been very positive. “The NSW Government will continue to fund boating improvements to ensure the safety of water users. “Another 50 courtesy

moorings, 90 additional upgraded or new aids to navigation and a further 1,100 signs are planned with work to focus around the Murray River region. “CCTV cameras are also planned for the Georges River to allow monitoring of the river and ensure boaters including jet skiers are behaving in a safe manner.” For more information on the Regional Boating Plans visit http:// maritimemanagement. t r a n s p o r t . n s w . g o v. au/projects/regionalboating-plans/index.html

SERAS Scholarships open for 2017 Athlete scholarships are now available for a number of programs being run by the South East Regional Academy of Sport (SERAS) in 2017. The academy is calling for nominations from talented young athletes competing in the sports of cycling and golf. SERAS will have a

further three to four more sport intakes during 2017. The programs run by SERAS generally offer an induction process, physiological testing of athletes, strength and conditioning programs, an education component, skill development, and specialist coaching. Most

programs are delivered during weekend training camps and run for approximately 1 year. Information regarding each scholarship program can be found on the SERAS website. Nominations can be made online (www. seras.org.au) and close on Wednesday 23rd October 2016.

A small band of athletes faced the new season’s Multi-Event Competition with vigour and enthusiasm, and a determination to kick off the new season with a “Bang” (starter’s gun). It was good to see an influx of young ones showing their wares as they faced the starter for the first time, and old hands putting the effort in so early in the season. U/15 girl Brenna Clayton stole the show on the day with two impressive performances and broke the records in the U/15 javelin and 800m. Her throw in the javelin eclipsed the old record by over 14m with a magnificent throw of 24.61m, also a personal best with this weighted javelin. Her 800m run of 2:51.24 (not her best) was good enough to lower Hayleigh Davis’ record of 3:07.77 (2007) by 15 seconds. We are expecting Brenna to go under 2:30.00 this season. Top Ten Performances on the track. 1. Brenna Clayton 800m run. 2. U/7 Ethan Adams raced away in the 300m in 1:16.36 in his first attempt over this distance. His performance equalled 96 per cent of the record for this event. 3. U/10 Max Boole has not lost any speed over the winter break, within six per cent of the 70m dash record in 11.18s. Equalled 94 per cent. 4. Max Boole claimed the fourth best time on the track with an excellent run in the U/10 100m with 16.02s (89 per cent). 5. Reuben Hooper 6. Joshua Southam is hot on the heels of Max over the 70m with great time of 12.27s, just shy of his P.B. of 12.20s (85 per cent).

7. U/12 Thomas King (new boy middle distance runner to our centre) broke through the three minute barrier at his first attempt over this distance, clocking 2:59.62 (84 per cent). 8. Sky Adams U/9 girl (new) posted 13.22 sec in her run over the 70m (83 per cent) and 19.27s for the 100m (81 per cent). 9. Maria Tarasyuk U/15 young lady has not had a chance to blow the cobwebs out of her system yet, managing to cross the finish line over 100m with an impressive 16.21s (81 per cent). We are expecting Maria to get down to the high 12 second mark as the season unfolds. 10. Lucy Kamenz U/14 girl, with her run of 16.43s (PB) (83 per cent) under her belt should be cracking through the 16 second mark before Christmas. 11. Evie Schulz U/9 girl rounded off this weeks Top Ten with 13.75s for the 70m and pushed Sky Adams all the way to the finish line. Field Top Performances 1. Brenna Clayton (U/15), in the javelin with the record of 24.61m (PB) (239 per cent) 2. Maria Tarasyuk (U/15), also eclipsed the old record with a heave of 17.84m (PB) (173 per cent). 3. Max Boole (U/10), Max leapt to a new personal best in the long jump in leaping 3.77m (89 per cent). 4. Joshua Southam (U/10) was just behind Max with PB of 3.64m (86 per cent). No other athlete was able to break through the 80 per cent of the record in the field events. Multi-Events Results. U/7 Girls Natalee White

BOMBALA RACES Grab your finest hat and put your bets on, it’s time for the races IT’S time to ready your outfit, study the form guide and dust off the binoculars, because the Bombala Races are upon us! Yes, this coming Saturday, October 15 the buses will be travelling to and from both the Bombala RSL Club and the Delegate Hotel, with the local Jockey Club expecting a big crowd at the Bombala Racecourse. A thrilling race program is planned, with a great field of horses and jockeys being finalised, and of course eager bookmakers lining up to help us all have a flutter. For true race enthusiasts the tote van will also be running hot, and there will of course be screenings of the Caulfield Cup and other major meetings to keep punters in the game. And thanks to the venue’s big screen you won’t miss a thing! Naturally the action at our own country race meet will be hard to beat, with racegoers keenly viewing the contenders in the saddling paddock before rushing to the fence to cheer them home. The Bombala Races are of course one of the major social events of the year, and already there is great talk circulating around the Fashions on the Field, once again generously sponsored by Joseph & Jones Racing. Here the lady and gentleman in the finest attire will be selected, along with the best

dressed couple, juniors and those with the most outstanding headwear, all of whom will win prizes and of course the adulation of the crowd! And judging by how rapidly the marquee has filled, the crowd is set to be a big one. With lots of tables having already been booked, the stylish marquee will be the centre of fashion and stylish comfort on the day, with seafood platters being par for the course. Outside there will be a wonderful range of refreshments from barbecue to kiosk favourites, with these tasty stalls again serving as fundraisers for local schools. Another popular spot during the races will of course be the bar, and drinks will be available throughout the afternoon, while the kids will find plenty to amuse them, including the ever popular jumping castle and face painting. After the races are over, both the Delegate Hotel and Bombala watering holes will be pumping with entertainment and refreshments, so it’s back to the buses to head into town for a big night of revelling. Yep, it’s all systems go for one of the biggest local social events of the year, so make sure you’re a part of the Bombala Races and all of the celebrations afterwards this coming Saturday, October 15!

BOMBALA RACES Racegoers set to dress to impress Country racing meets glamour and fun in a truly unique way - and the Bombala Cup is set to be no different this Saturday! While the event has an undeniably cheerful atmosphere, it also boasts great style, with many racegoers taking the opportunity to dress for the occasion. The focus on style at the Bombala Races has really heightened over recent years, with Joseph & Jones Racing kindly donating $500 to the hotly contested Fashions on the Field. There are several categories to assure everyone has their chance to shine on race day, with the Best Dressed Ladies, Gentlemen, Couple, Junior Male and Junior Female all winning prizes. In very exciting news, kind sponsorship from Lou Lou’s also allows for a Best Fascinator or Hat category, with $100 in prize money being up for grabs in this equally popular title. Of course the Fashions on the Field Parade is one of the highlights of the day, and it is hoped that a strong number of entries glam up for the catwalk no matter what the weather. “The forecast is going to be chilly unless the weather man or woman changes their minds, so we hope that people will dress for the weather, but also the occasion,” organisers say.

Bombala bounces into league development holiday clinic Rain may have postponed the original event, but there was no dampening the spirits of the many kids who rolled up to make the most of the NRL Grand Final Holiday Clinic held in Bombala last Tuesday. Enthusiasm was so high in fact that around 60 young participants took part, with NRL Game Development Officer of Southern NSW, Damian Kennedy saying that the numbers were unprecedented for a clinic in his area. And we’re talking a wide range of ages as well as both boys and girls coming along to the clinic, which featured a round robin of rugby league based activities “The kids were great – always are up there,” Damian said. “It is easy to see why the junior rugby league club is starting to grow so well, with the parents supporting the club and the kids happy to participate. “The three development staff were all impressed

with the skill level and even more so the attitudes of the kids. The way they included each other and helped out on the day was a credit to them.” And not only did the kids thoroughly enjoy the action and learning on the field, they were also thrilled to take home some footy packs from the clinic, complete with a football, NRL cap, drink bottle, kicking tee and an NRL bag. “We will be organising to come up at the start of next season to help the club with their recruitment as well as continue to offer the school programs,” Damian said.

A record number of young players made the most of the NRL Grand Final Holiday Clinic held in Bombala last Tuesday.

New bowling association Cooma wins Coomagui Cup for second year running The newly formed Snowy Mountains Bowling Association has drawn up a programme of events for the season. The first event is the District Mixed Pairs which is scheduled to commence on October 30. All men taking part in this event must be Registered with the S M B A. Your Club will have the necessary form and there is no charge for the first year. Ladies playing in any Mixed event play by invitation. Please get your entry in immediately. Other events will follow. To be eligible for selection for events such as Club Challenge, Snowy Mountains Shield etc players will also need to be registered with the SMBA. Considering the conditions for Bowlers last Wednesday, 20 players was a good turn out. Rae Blyton came in from Nimmitabel to partner Geoff Venables in a mixed pairs match up against Mary Murphy and Daniel Clough. This went along on an even keel for 12 ends with the score at 9/9. Mary and Daniel then put the foot down to win nine of the remaining 12 ends for a 27/14 victory. Bob Douglass, Mario Frezza and Leonie Snell trailed 7/8 against Allan Crowe, Mary Phillips and Ron Wainwright on end 11. Eight shots proved an unlucky number for Allan, Mary and Ron as they spent eight ends on that score before getting one shot on each of the last two ends to give Bob, Mario and Leonie a 16/10 win. Four shots on the first end for Mary Boller, Bob Lahy and Renate Winckel gave them a quick start to lead 8/7 on nine against Max Povey, Judy Locker and Mick Mayhew. That was the last time they were in front as Max, Judy and Mick, helped by four shots on 14, went on to win 20/12. Max Butler and Paul Cannell with five shots on end five managed to stay in front of Peter Harris and Mike Mannile until end 15 where the score was 15/14 in their favour. Five shots to Max and Paul put them on the road to victory 30/19 on end 24. Saturday’s social bowls attracted a small field of only 10 players who coped with a slight breeze but otherwise pleasant conditions. Max Butler and Mike Mannile started well to lead 6/2 against

Mario Frezza and Ron Wainwright when some thing went wrong and Mario and Ron scored 13 shots to one over six ends then withstood a challenge to win 25/19. Evelyn Hamilton, Maureen D’Amico and Paul Cannell had a battle royal with Bob Douglass’ Daphne Buckley and Richard Nichols with the lead changing on several occasions and level twice during the first 16 ends. In winning four of the next five ends Evelyn, Maureen and Paul won 21/13. Ten players braved the elements on Sunday, about the only redeeming feature being the lack of wind. Darren Collins, Roulie Steinfort and Geoff Venables shot out to lead 11/3 against Lestelle Lodge, Jack Sajina and Richard Nichols after six ends. Richard’s team then won the next five ends to lead 12/11, but were outscored for the remainder of the game for Darren, Roulie and Geoff to win 26/17. Bob Lahy and Mel Storta put seven shots on the board over the first three ends then stopped on that score whilst Denis Steinfort and Wayne Lodge levelled up by end seven. Four shots to Bob and Mel put them in front again where they remained to the end to win 19/17. Wayne Flynn was invited to join in as swinging lead during the game. By special arrangement, a match in Club Triples was played last Monday. John Barnes, Gordon Cox (subbing for Neil McGregor) and Daniel Clough had a slight advantage over Jack Sajina, Steve Seears and Colin Roberson to lead 12/10 after 13 ends. This was extended to 21/14 on end 20. Jack, Steve and Colin then had a four on 21 to make the score look a little better only to concede three next end for John, Gordon and Daniel to go on and win 25/21, to move in to the next round against S Lapham, W Flynn and John Schoon which is scheduled for Sunday October 23. First round matches in Club Triples scheduled for next Sunday 16th are; (Skips names only) Geoff Venables v Mark Buckley. Wayne Lodge v Ignazio Mondello. Mike Mannile v Peter Harris. Players are reminded that a $10 lunch will be available at the Club between 12.00 and 12.30 that day.

The Cooma Field and game membership headed for Bermagui on Sunday to complete the second leg of the Coomagui Cup. With a lead of 75 targets from the week before they were quietly confident that even if they lost the day, they may be able to retain the converted trophy. A solid turnout from Cooma with 24 shooters making the journey, some on the bus kindly donated by Cooma Coaches and some under their own steam the odds were stacked against Bermagui to make up the targets needed. Bermagui shot well to win the day but only by 13 targets falling well short of the total required. They have vowed however that they will be victorious in 2017. The final score Cooma Field and Game 894/1200

Bermagui Field and Game 833/1200. Thanks again to Cooma Coaches for their support in providing a bus for the trip down and back. Cooma Field and Games next shoot will be the second running of the “Come and have a go day” on Saturday the 15th. This proved to be hugely popular last year and we are hopeful we can turn on an equally great event this year. The day provides an opportunity for everybody to have a go at sporting clay pigeon shooting. Shooting licenses are not required. Ages 12 years and over. Other conditions apply. For details go to the Cooma Field and Game website or call Andrew on 0413 013 689 or Adam on 0410 507 279

Girder fork rally bikes in Cooma First of Cooma’s Spring of Engines, Wheels ‘n Speed events

Over the weekend of October 14-16, Cooma and Monaro residents will be able to see and hear the unmistakable sounds of about 50 classic motor bikes as Cooma Car Club conducts its long running annual Girder Fork Rally. The rally is exclusive to pre-1950 girder fork motor cycles and their riders, and the organisers are expecting around 50 of these classic machines and their riders to roll into Cooma on Friday October. 14 Among the interesting machines entered are a 1918 Wolesley entered by George Keats, Ian Richardson will be riding his 1915 Rudge Multigear and Barry Graham is riding a 1929 Brough Superior. Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVTs) are now being fitted to a number of modern cars in order to achieve better fuel economy, and are thought to be a modern development. However, in 1912 Rudge released the first Rudge Multigear CVT and a Rudge Multigear won the 1914 Isle of Man TT. This year there are three lady riders proving that Classic motor bikes are not just toys for boys. The prime attraction for the entrants is riding the uncrowded scenic sealed roads of the CoomaMonaro region. The event is also renowned for its social aspect including an excellent morning tea, lunch and dinner at the Cooma Car Club Clubhouse on Saturday night; all providing great opportunities for the historic bike enthusiasts to get together to discuss their machines and the day’s adventures. BEST PLACES TO SEE THE BIKES AND RIDERS There will be a short “tune-up” 30km run on Friday afternoon October 14. The bikes and riders will depart the Cooma Car Club Clubhouse in Bolaro Street at 2pm.

PLAY POOL FREE!

There will be two runs on Saturday. The riders and bikes will be at the Car Club Clubhouse from 8am to 9m when they will depart for Ando for morning tea, arriving at around 10am. The bikes will leave Ando at around 11am, returning to Cooma via the Snowy River Way and the Maffra-Bobundra Road, arriving at the Cooma Car Clubhouse around 12 noon for judging, total 147 km. In the afternoon, the participants will ride out along Kosciuszko Road, Eucumbene Road, Middlingbank Road and return to Cooma via Slack’s Creek Road. The total ride for the day will be 226km. On Sunday, the riders and bikes will be at the Clubhouse from around 8:30am, departing at 9:30am to ride out along Shannons Flat Road to the end of the bitumen and return for a total of 60 kms. The 2017 Girder Fork Rally, will be first of Cooma’s festival of spring motoring events. OTHER EVENTS THIS SPRING A junior driver development/motorkhana day at the ‘Longhouse’, Polo Flat Road, Cooma on Sunday 23 October The Southern Cross Anniversary Car Rally will be passing through Cooma on Friday 11 November.

Ewart beauty! Aussie start season in style The Aussie Hotel got their premiership defence off to the perfect start with a seven wicket win in the opening round of the Monaro District Cricket Association season. Coffey’s won the toss and elected to bat at Snowy Oval on what was a cold Cooma’s day. It was a solid start by openers Zach Smith (27) and Andy Devereux (3), but with some good tight bowling and the Snowy Oval doing its usual thing runs were hard to come by. Corey Tucker (2/26) picked up Deveruex in the ninth over which brought Damo Hayden (22) to the crease Hayden and Smith saw Coffey’s through to drinks at 1 for 39. A few quick wickets after the break saw Coffey’s under pressure until a quick fire 38 from Astin Nunan started to swing the momentum. After breaking the Nunan-Hayden partnership the runs slowed and Coffey’s ended up posting a respectable 8/132 from their 45 overs. Along with Tucker the best of the Aussie Hotel bowlers were Kaeliff Khoury (2/12) and Damien Asanovski (2/32). The Aussie Hotel chase started slowly and through an early wicket to the bowling of Steve Summerville (1/14) Mark Tonks (23) came to the crease. Mitch Hynes (57) led the chase and the two looked to be cruising until Tonks skied one off the bowling of Devereux (1/47). The Aussie batsmen went to drinks at 2/68 and looked comfortable. After drinks Hynes got going and was well supported by Harry Sidhu (27 not out). Hynes and Sidhu looked to be cruising the Aussie Hotel side to victory until a lazy run between wickets saw Hynes run out. At 2/116 and only 17 runs to win Brad Tonks (10 not out) came to the crease and quickly finished the game in the 35th over. A comfortable chase in the end as the Aussie Hotel (3/138) ran out winners by 7 wickets. Jindabyne dominate Dalgety With the season back in action, Jindabyne and Dalgety took to the Dalgety Showground for the start of the cricket season. Jindabyne’s start was promising with Cal Andrews making 8 alongside Tim Gregson who hit a game high 79. There was a strong fight back from Dalgety, lead by Simon Freebody (4/24). This saw Jindabyne lose four wickets for not many runs. But a handy debut knock from Chad Stephenson (22), along with Simon Partell (64) allowed Jindabyne to post 9/239. Dalgety looked solid with Les Taylor (15) and Iain Elliot (26) setting a good foundation. Some great

bowling from Tim Gregson (3/10) and Matthew Lowe (3/25) got the crucial break through, and the win looked on the cards. In stepped Luke Treadwell (51) with a rear-guard action but it wasn’t enough. Dalgety was all out for 128 with John Lovell at the end pulling the biggest crowd on the Monaro. PVJ off to a flyer Peak View Jerangle (PVJ) took on Berridale at Nijong Oval on Saturday in the first game of the new cricket season. PVJ came away with a hard fought win. Batting first, Berridale got of to a shaky start losing Laurence Redmond to a great caught and bowled to James Ewart.

This bought Mike Mesley (35) to the wicket and he was joined by Matthew Bruce (11). They started scoring well but the double bowling change of James Hayden (1/17) off nine overs and Craig Bottom (2/16) off five saw a quick wickets fall as Berridale slumped to 6 for 79. Ben Hearn provided respectability to the innings with some good late hitting as he made his way to 45, before falling to Nathan Boate (2/46) off six. James Ewart claimed (3/24) off nine overs and performed a direct hit run out. Justin Locker (1/24) off eight cleaned up the tail to have Berridale all out in the 39th over for 155. PVJ got away to a poor start losing two wickets in the second over to Berridale quick James Cahill. This saw Edward Thomas (18) and Ewart move the score along to 35 before Thomas rode his luck one too many times and fell to Redmond (1/20) off nine. This brought Boate to the crease and with overs not an issue Boate and Ewart set about slowly but surely ticking off the runs. Good bowling from Jack Parkyn (0/23) off nine saw him slow the run rate at times but the patience of the PVJ batsmen saw limited opportunities for the Berridale bowlers. A 110 run partnership between Ewart and Boate nearly get PVJ home but Ewart fell for a well-made 58. Bottom then joined Boate and they ticked off the remaining runs with Boate (47*) and Bottom (14*). Final scores Berridale 10/155 lost to PVJ 4/164.

NRL PREMIERS SNAP UP JACK

Cooma rugby league star, Jack Williams, has been snapped up by the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks for the next two seasons. Williams, a former Cooma Stallion, is headed for Sydney’s South where he will link up with the reigning NRL premiers. The move comes just weeks after Williams was named the Canberra Raiders Holden Cup Player of the Year.

CAPTIVA LTZ DIESEL MANUAL

On the back of a stellar season the powerful backrower impressed the Sharks’ coaching staff with a standout performance against the Sharks Under 20s side. Williams spent five years at the Raiders, training with the club’s NRL squad last preseason. He will enter the Sharks system as a damaging ball runner and will look to the likes of Sharks backrower Luke Lewis for guidance.
