Police launch Snowsafe campaign The 2016 Snow Safe launch was held on Tuesday June 30 signifying the addition of extra police and safety operations in the Alpine Area.

With up to 30,000 vehicle movements through the region per day during peak season, police are preparing themselves for the arrival of tourists and are urging people to stay safe during the winter period.

Snowsafe is a specialised policing strategy involving highlytrained Alpine Operators, General Duties police, Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, Licensing Police and other specialist commands throughout the season.

Police will be focused on road safety, alcohol and drug related crime and antisocial behavior and are urging people to be responsible and know their limits.

Monaro Local Area Commander, Detective Superintendent Rod Smith, said that the additional police force will focus on making the area safer over the winter period. “I’d like to see people come down and ski

and snowboard and enjoy themselves and not have to put up with ratbags on the roads and drunken idiots in the night,� he said.

He also warned people who plan on partying during their visit to know their limits.

If people refuse to leave a licensed premises and the police become involved a fail to quit notice will be issued, involving a $550 fine, with 75 having been issued last year.

He said police will be running a series of drug operations in the area and have had multiple successes in curbing the amount of illegal substances in recent years with drug detection dogs and covert operations.

D e t e c t i v e Superintendant Smith also urged people travelling back country to take a personal locator beacon with them so that they can become easily found if something goes wrong.

Inspector Greg Lynch from Southern Region Traffic and Highway Patrol Command said there can be high volumes of traffic travelling in and around

Insp Lynch said. “Snowfield conditions can be more difficult to

navigate so we’d like to remind everyone to prioritise safety on your journey – pay close attention to the roads, don’t get distracted and slow down. “Our officers will do all they can to keep you safe to and from the snowfields, but we urge you – whether you’re driving, riding,

a passenger or a pedestrian – to help us achieve this.�

Snowy Monaro Regional Council Administrator Dean Lynch also addressed media during the launch where he praised the work of police officers and welcomed tourists to the region.

IN STORE TODAY

Quest to save our local heritage With the sale of the Snowy Mountains E n g i n e e r i n g Corporation (SMEC) to with Surbana Jurong Holdings (Australia), a wholly owned subsidiary of Surbana Jurong Private Limited from Singapore, the future of the SMEC site remains in limbo.

The sale was dependent on a majority of shareholders voting for the sale, which was achieved last week.

Several community groups, including the Snowy Monaro Regional Council, have been trying to have SMEC contribute at least the Fluid Mechanics laboratory to the community.

This laboratory is one of the very last of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme icons left in Cooma.

Its location and history would lend it perfectly to being a

museum, possibly incorporating a visitor information centre.

The Cooma Monaro Historical Society is another group which has been lobbying SMEC to donate at least that part of the complex to the community.

SMEC announced in May that it would close its Cooma office in December. It later announced it was in discussion with the Singaporean company about acquiring 100 percent of the shares.

The closure of the office will see the loss of 12 local jobs.

Pictured above right, the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory once part of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme’s technical assets.

Fatality ACT Policing are investigating a fatal collision, which occurred on the Monaro Highway early on Saturday morning July 2.

At approximately 6.15am police were called to the Monaro Highway, 2km south of Royalla following reports of a single vehicle collision.

ACT Ambulance Service were in attendance and transferred two people to The Canberra Hospital. Unfortunately, one person died at the scene.

The Monaro highway was closed between Old Cooma Road and Williamsdale Road whilst the Collision Investigation and Reconstruction Team conducted its investigation. A report will be prepared for the coroner.

This is the fourth fatality on ACT roads this year.

Police are urging anyone who may have any information that could assist police to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website at act. crimestoppers.com.au.

ACT Police remind people they should not report crime information via our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Our Woman of the Future Liberty Thomas is a semifinalist in the Women of the Future competition featured in the Australian Women’s Weekly magazine.

From hundreds of applicants, Liberty, or Libby, is one of 15 semifinalists in the national competition.

Run annually, the competition is open to women aged between 18 and 30 with a business idea, charity, creative venture or innovation to fund that will help to change the lives of others. There are two winners, a judge’s choice and a people’s choice. These winners each receive a $10,000 scholarship to go towards their project, a $10,000 QANTAS travel bursary and one year QANTAS club membership.

Libby is a 21 year old Cooma girl who has recently completed a nursing degree at the Australian Catholic University (ACU) in Brisbane. She has also just begun a law degree at Queensland University of Technology via distance. Libby is currently working as a registered nurse at the Sir William Hudson Memorial Centre and at the Cooma Hospital.

Spotting the competition in the Women’s Weekly, Libby decided to enter with her idea, which she is very passionate about. The project is a support organisation for victims of domestic violence called

The Liberty Foundation.

Having experienced domestic violence herself at the hand of a previous boyfriend, Libby felt she was let down by the system and wanted to do something to change that.

“I want to create a foundation that provides a holistic approach to supporting victims of domestic violence,” she says, “In particular I’d like to provide safe housing, legal services and psychological support specifically for survivors of domestic violence.”

“I want to create a collaborative organisation that uses the services currently available in Australia to promote the safety, health and well-being of clients and also ensure it is easily accessible by all genders, ages and ethnic groups.”

“I also want to provide age specific education, especially for schools, about what is right and wrong in terms of how to treat others with a focus on understanding their individual rights.”

Libby believes education is the key to changing society’s perception of domestic violence and to breaking the cycle of it.

“The meaning of the

word Liberty is freedom and independence, I thought that using my name was perfect because I want victims of domestic violence to be free from the violence.”

Besides the two winners, there are also six runners up who receive $5,000 for their project, a $5,000 QANTAS travel bursary and a one year QANTAS club membership.

Libby says she will use the

money to market her idea to government agencies in order to obtain for sustainable funding for The Liberty Foundation. She would also put it towards researching what victims of domestic violence require in terms of support.

To vote for Libby in the people’s choice category, head to www. aww.com.au/career/leadership and find her name in the list.

Compliance inspections Compliance officers from the Department of Planning and Environment visited four major projects sites across the southern NSW region and also issued three fines to enforce conditions of approval during May. The Department has released its May Compliance Report showing 60 major project inspections across the state to make sure conditions of consent are being met by companies.

A spokesperson said the Department has issued two fines and a warning letter after finding conditions of approval were breached and Aboriginal heritage sites were disturbed at the Boco Rock Windfarm near Nimmitabel.

“Boco Rock Wind Farm Pty Ltd and Downer EDI Engineering Power Pty Limited were both issued $3000 fines after construction works disturbed three Aboriginal sites considered to be of moderate local scientific significance,” a spokesperson said.

“An investigation by compliance officers found approval conditions relating to the management of Aboriginal heritage had not been met.

“A warning letter has also been issued to NGH Environmental Pty Ltd for providing incorrect location information about heritage sites in the management plans provided to both companies.

“All parties cooperated in the compliance investigation and the Department’s compliance officers and the Office of Environment and Heritage will work with Boco Rock Windfarm to make sure any artefacts recovered from the disturbed sites are salvaged.

“Our compliance officers review reports and conduct audits, undertake spot checks without warning, as well as work with companies to ensure they are sticking to the rules,” a spokesperson said.

“The Department can issue the highest onthe-spot fines in the country for breaches of conditions.

“Companies can also be prosecuted in court for breaching conditions, with the most severe breaches attracting fines of up to $5 million.

Community members are encouraged to contact the compliance officers with concerns about major projects in their neighbourhood.”

Cooma Coles supporting SecondBite charity Cooma residents can help provide meals to families doing it tough this winter by joining local efforts to raise funds for national charity, SecondBite.

Between June 29 and August 2, Coles at Cooma will raise money for SecondBite, a national charity which redistributes surplus fresh food to Australian families in need.

As part of the five-week campaign, Cooma residents can buy a $2 SecondBite donation card at Coles to help to deliver the equivalent of five healthy meals to Australian families doing it tough.

The fundraising comes as Coles supermarkets reaches a new milestone, donating the

Yet despite the meal milestone, each year two million Australians still struggle to put food on the table. Coles State General Manager Thinus Keeve said Coles was proud to participate in the SecondBite program and encouraged shoppers to get behind the fundraising campaign this winter.

“Too many people in our communities don’t have enough food to eat and are not able to afford healthy meals on a daily basis. We hope that through our surplus fresh food donations and the support from our local customers, we can make a real difference to people doing it tough this winter,” he said.

SecondBite CEO Jim Mullan said the organisation had partnered with Coles since

November 2011 to rescue surplus fresh, nutritious food for people in need. “By working together, SecondBite and Coles are providing enough fresh food for more than 23,000 nutritious meals every single day to children and families doing it tough across Australia. This cannot be achieved without the efforts of Coles and its team members,” he said.

Councillors thanked Former councillors from Queanbeyan City Council, Palerang Shire Council, Bombala Shire Council, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council and Snowy River Shire Council have been thanked for service to their community.

The Member for Monaro John Barilaro presented certificates of appreciation to the former councillors at ceremonies in Bungendore and Cooma on Monday.

“It’s important to let our former councillors know that we appreciate the work they have done and to acknowledge them publically for their service,” said Mr Barilaro.

“Serving in local government is a rewarding experience, councillors invest huge amounts of time and energy looking after and representing their community.”

“Each former councillor has worked hard on behalf of their community, some for many years; I thank each and every one of them for their dedicated service.”

Mr Barilaro presented each former councillor with a certificate and a medallion in appreciation and recognition of their service to the community.

“Some of you have been in local council for decades,” Mr Barilaro said at the Cooma ceremony, “You have had to make some tough decisions, keeping the interests of the community at the fore of those decisions. Local government is important.”

Moving forward, Mr Barilaro said he was excited for the region and excited for the opportunities that lay ahead now that the amalgamation has been implemented.

Council Catch Up Snowy Monaro Regional Council held celebrations for the former Snowy River Shire, Cooma-Monaro Shire and Bombala Councils during the past week. These celebrations were great for staff to come together and celebrate the achievements of all former councils, and were also a chance for staff to chat with our General Manager, Joe Vescio, and myself. The functions were held as recognition for what the previous local councils were, and to welcome staff to the new and improved combined Council and what that will represent as an entity.

I would like to thank staff from corresponding offices who dealt with matters and enquiries with great speed and efficiency for the community while particular branch offices were closed during these celebrations.

On Monday 11 July 2016 the Hon. John Barilaro MP, Member for Monaro, held a ‘thank you’ function for all the former Councillors of the Bombala, Cooma-Monaro Shire and Snowy River Shire Council.

Nearly all the former Councillors were able to attend and it was fantastic to catch up with them and John Barilaro.

Our ‘Winter Starts Here’ campaign, sponsored by Red Energy, is well underway with the trees and the bandstand in Centennial Park being lit up in an array of colours. The Chamber of Commerce was the driving force behind this project and it would be great to see more initiatives like this taken to boost tourism and to drive economic growth in the region. The lighting looks amazing and I hope that we are giving tourists something new and a different experience while visiting the region in the winter months.

Snowy Monaro Regional Council has drafted the Integrated Planning and Reporting Documentation for 2017. I would like to remind everyone that the Draft Delivery Program and Operational Plan, Schedule of Fees and Charges and Revenue Policy are now on public exhibition both on our website and in hard copy at every branch office. Your comments, directed to the General Manager, would be appreciated and valued as these documents are designed to benefit the community as a whole, so please take the time to read them and provide us with any recommendations you may have.

Exhibition highlights a life devoted to art

Prolific local artist, Diana Klima, presented a vast array of paintings and drawings at her latest exhibition Still Kicking, at the Raglan Gallery, Cooma.

The exhibition was opened on July 2 by fellow artist Sylvia Wall.

Ms Wall outlined Diana’s career in art, from her time at technical college in Sydney, to her employment with the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme, to her most recent artworks.

A ling-time supporter and exhibitor at the Raglan gallery, Diana has used a wide variety of media in her art works.

The exhibition represented probably the last chance many people will have to acquire a Klima artwork.

The title celebrates Diana’s triumph over illness in the last year and offers a glimpse into the talent she has shared with the Monaro community over so many years.

The exhibition was curated by Diana’s daughter Angela, whose partner David Twohill quite rightly suggested that Diana should be next on the list to be inducted into the Cooma Hall of Fame.

Libs back, Kelly returns New tourism network

With the Liberal party claiming victory in the Federal election, it is now confirmed that the electorate of Eden-Monaro has lost its status of being a bellwether seat.

The seat has been won

by Labor’s Mike Kelly, with 46,310 votes, from the Liberals Peter Hendy on 41,137. The results, on a two-party preferred basis, shows a swing of 5.87 percent against the Liberals.

Federally, the Liberals have won 76 seats, to Labor’s 69, a difference of 14 seats from the 2013 election.

Dr Kelly said last week, before the poll was declared that he wanted to ‘get underway’ straight away.

He said “if we win Mike Kelly has won the seat of Eden-Monaro government, we’ll be back from the Liberals. sweet, if not, we will have to find other ways to fund require a regional strategy for tourism projects like the Bundian Way. We will and trade. be looking at different sources, for “I will also be working to increase example, sponsors.

The creation of a new tourism network for the Monaro is a unique opportunity to promote Southern NSW to the world, said the Member for Monaro John Barilaro.

The NSW Government is investing $43 million over four years in a major overhaul in the way regional and rural areas attract visitors with the creation of new Destination Networks across the state.

Mr Barilaro said Destination Southern NSW (including the Snowy Mountains and Far South Coast) will make up one of four new regional networks to be created.

“From a coastline of unspoilt beaches and marine experiences to Australia’s five highest peaks in the Snowy Mountains, this is a unique and exciting oppportunity to market Southern NSW as an all year round tourism destination,” said Mr Barilaro.

“With the Monaro now wedged between the Canberra International Airport and the Port of Eden, I see our region becoming a tourism corridor.

“We have one of the best opportunities to capture the

www.

international tourism market that only Sydney can rival.

“We are confident we can provide our tourism and events industry with a more sustainable platform to help boost economic growth as a result of the changes being introduced by the NSW Government.”

Mr Barilaro said a new Destination Network funded by the NSW Government will bring industry, local government and local tourism organisations together on the ground, strengthening the local tourism industry and assisting them in accessing a range of resources to boost visitation to this area.

Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events Stuart Ayres said providing operational funding to these new organisations, as well as the creation of a new Destination NSW regional division to work with them day to day on campaigns and destination management will provide a solid base for the growth of regional tourism.

“Regional tourism contributes $6.7 billion to our state and employs 73,900 people.

This plan will strengthen the

operation of our tourism bodies to ensure we can continue to create growth in this key industry,” Mr Ayres said.

The four new regions are: · Destination Riverina Murray; · Destination Southern NSW (including the Snowy Mountains and Far South Coast); · Destination North Coast (from Mid-Coast to Tweed Heads including Lord Howe Island); and · Destination Country and Outback NSW The two Sydney Surrounds destination networks will include: · Destination Sydney Surrounds North (including the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, and Hunter); and · Destination Sydney Surrounds South (including the Southern Highlands Wollongong and Shoalhaven).

Other new initiatives include a regional conferencing unit within Destination NSW, an increase to the Contestable Pool of the Regional Visitor Economy Fund ($3.5 million) and an increase to Regional Flagship Event Funding ($4 million) over four years.

Bombala abuzz as new business premises are opened The main street of Bombala was abuzz on Monday morning as two local businesses, Lou Lou’s and Tree of Life Paper Craft hosted their combined Grand Openings.

Already a well loved local business, Lou Lou’s moved just a few doors up to its new, larger location, while the brand new Tree of Life started afresh next door.

Lou Lou’s features a funky range of gifts and homewares and has greatly expanded its range of clothing and accessories, while Tree of Life is all about scrapbooking and card making, and teaching locals how to utilise its many crafty products.

The owners are cousins and the businesses complement each other well with their beautiful wares on show in the revamped shopfronts.

“It took six weeks to get the building ready, and we completely gutted the whole thing and started from scratch,” Lou Lou’s Penny Campbell said.

Tree of Life owner, Shirley Hampshire explained that it was a lot of work, but all who enjoyed the openings agreed that the results speak for themselves.

“It was just a stage by stage process, and we both want to thank our families, our friends and local tradespeople for all of their help and support,” Shirley said.

A supportive crowd gathered for the ribbon cutting on both shopfronts and a steady stream of customers made their way through the stores to shop and enjoy the various giveaways and refreshments that marked the openings.

“We’re really excited, and we just hope that the community likes what we have done and we attract good support,” Penny said.

Top Left: Penny Campbell (right) watched on as her first and last customers from the original Lou Lou’s store cut the ribbon on her new premises on Monday. Dylan Simpson and Sue Morgan were happy to do the honours.

Lone Pine removal had unexpected community benefits The Lone Pine that stood near the bowling green at the Bombala RSL Club may be no more, but its necessary removal has been a win for two local charity groups.

The pine was struck by lightning in a storm last year, with significant damage being sustained, and a branch later falling.

Norman and Wendy Wilton of Wilton Logging were called in to inspect the tree, and it was determined that it must be removed for safety reasons.

Norm organised a group of helpers, including Alan “Alfie” Mustard, Bob McKinnon, Clarry Verent, Brett Downing and Warren Hampshire, and the team worked with Norm to remove the pine.

Instead of taking payment for the job, Norm and Wendy requested that the Club donate the money to the Southern Community Fund and the local Relay for Life.

Scott and the Club’s Directors would like to thank the group for their efforts, and particularly Norm and Wendy for their generosity.

New integrity laws for Local Government elections Candidates, political parties and thirdparty campaigners for Local Council elections are now all subject to new laws from July 1.

The new laws seek to reduce potential corruption and undue influence at local government level by regulating donations and the management of donations and expenditure for local government elections. It means that the same rules and regulations now apply for political donations in relation to NSW Local Government elections as they do for NSW State Government elections.

Donations are capped at $5,900 to any registered party or group, and $2,600 to an unregistered party, elected member, candidate or third party campaigner. It is now unlawful in a Local Government election for a person to make or accept a political donation that exceeds the relevant cap.

To increase transparency, political parties need to use a separate Local Government campaign account to make payments for electoral expenditure and deposit political donations for local government elections.

Third-party campaigners in Local Government elections must register with the NSW Electoral Commission.

NAIDOC week celebrated

This refers to individuals or entities who spend more than $2,000 towards campaign communications and are not candidates or a political party.

“The new Local Government election integrity laws are part of the State reforms reinforcing trust, respect and integrity in the administration of elections and the democratic process,” said the Hon Keith Mason AC QC, Chairperson of the NSW Electoral Commission.

“It is important that all candidates and parties know and follow the new rules as there are serious consequences if they are not followed. We are doing our best to effectively communicate the changes and ensure those impacted understand their obligations and what they need to do.”

The NSW Electoral Commission provides information to candidates, political parties and the public. To find out more call 1300 022 011, email fdc@elections.nsw.gov.au or visit www. elections.nsw.gov.au.

The NSW Electoral Commission was reconstituted on December 1, 2014, combining the functions of the previous Electoral Commission and Election Funding Authority in order to streamline the regulation of the electoral process and campaign finance and expenditure.

The Cooma Hub Youth Centre celebrated NAIDOC week last Tuesday and used the opportunity to officially unveil two artworks which will be exhibited in the Raglan Gallery.

The Big Lift helps Daisy’s Child Care ‘exceeding’ Bombala and Dalgety For the first time in its seven years of running, The Big Lift from the University of Technology Sydney, are setting themselves across regional NSW and VIC on a mission to share their volunteering movement across the country.

In the past, The Big Lift has visited regional towns on its journey to Brisbane or the Gold Coast.

However, this year, The Big Lift will change direction and travel south to assist regional towns in NSW and VIC on its way to Melbourne.

Founded on the philosophy of ‘Paying it Forward’, The Big Lift is a student run, volunteer organisation that takes two busloads of students on a nine day bus trip through regional Australia to complete various projects. These projects have included painting, gardening cleaning and simple construction/ deconstruction tasks. With a focus on community engagement, The Big Lift works closely with the towns to provide help where it is needed.

“The Big Lift gives students a unique experience to discover how simple, rewarding and fun it is to help out the community. The trip shows people that if they come together for a great cause, real change can be achieved,” says communications graduate and President of The Big Lift, Jen Ng. One TBL bus has visited Dalgety

from Monday to help various organisations around the town including NSW Local Land Services, Dalgety Show Society and Dalgety Public School with painting and gardening tasks.

The other TBL bus visited Bombala from Monday, to help restore the exhibition centre and to do some gardening in the community garden.

“I’ve seen so many students do great things for their community after being inspired by the volunteering projects they participated in on past trips. In a generation that has every potential to become positively connected with the world, The Big Lift plays an essential role in building that sense of community,” says Ms Ng. “The Big Lift aims to help create global citizens that are socially conscious and empowered to be a part of things they want to see changed.”

UTS students departed Sydney on Saturday with their trip spanning over nine days.

The Big Lift is sponsored by the University of Technology Sydney (Student Services, Faculty of Health, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences), UTS International (BUiLD and Community Connections), Activate UTS, Pegasus Coaches, ResMed, and ING Direct.

Daisy’s Childcare center manager Liz Graham with Affinity Education area manager Alissa Tripodi.

Daisy’s Child Care Centre has recently received the results from the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority rating and assessment, receiving an overall ‘exceeding’ for providing quality education and care.

The rating and assessment covers seven areas of quality which include family relationships, relationships with children, educational program, children’s health and safety, physical environment, leadership and management and staffing.

Daisy’s excelled in providing a high standard of care for the children and families and manager Liz Graham attributes the success to the motivated and dedicated staff at the centre.

Liz said she is happy with the result and mentioned that the centre has been working very hard to reach an exceeding standard since the last assessment three and a half years ago. “‘Exceeding’ is one of the top results you can get. Not a lot of centres reach ‘exceeding’, it’s in the top bracket,” she said.

“Our first rating was ‘working towards’. We identified what qualities we do have and strive for the best opportunities for the children.”

The educational program for learning and development is a big focus of Daisy’s Child Care with qualified educators working hard to provide this.

“It’s a big thing for us, we are educating the next generation,” Liz said.

Leadership is another major focus of the centre and Liz attributes the success in this area to the network provided by Affinity Education who own 166 centres around the country.

The relationships with children and families category was also a strong area for the child care.

“Our relationships with children and families are of a very high quality and you can see that in our interactions and our relationships with families,” Liz said.

Daisy’s Child Care has achieved a high standard of excellence by being awarded an overall exceeding result and are eager to keep improving by aiming for an ‘excellent’ rating in their efforts to keep providing the best service possible.

New equipment helps family history enthusiasts Family history buffs are benefitting from new equipment at the Monaro Regional Library courtesy of a NSW Government grant.

The Member for Monaro John Barilaro said the NSW Government funded a $15,000 Microform reader/scanner to assist locals in researching their family history.

Mr Barilaro visited the library today to see how the new piece of equipment is being put to use.

“Regional towns like Cooma have a deeply ingrained pride in their history,” said Mr Barilaro.

“A microform reader will help resident’s access newspapers and documents from the area enabling researchers to produce high quality copies of local documents.”

“The Library has been hoping to replace their current machine for some time now which is out of date and in need of repair.”

With Microform of local newspapers

dating back to 1860, the new equipment is very user friendly and allows users to save and keep the information.

The Library has also recently purchased the Ancestry.com special library package, making it easier to research family histories.

Mr Barilaro said the NSW Liberals and Nationals Government understand the importance of public libraries in regional communities to lifelong learning.

“The NSW Government recognises libraries need to adapt and designed this program to assist local government to develop and improve buildings and information technology,” Mr Barilaro said.

NSW Government fixing Monaro roads Four crucial roads projects in the Monaro have been successful in obtaining NSW Government funding as part of Round Two of the Fixing Country Roads program, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro has announced.

The $3million investment includes $395,000 for upgrades to Rosemeath Road near Bombala; $190,000 for 20 bridge assessments across the Monaro, $160,000 for the Tantawangalo Road near Bombala and over $2million for stage two of the Jerangle Road upgrade.

“The NSW Government is investing historic levels of funding to build better infrastructure right across NSW, and it’s great to see

local communities in the Monaro electorate benefitting from programs like Fixing Country Roads,” said Mr Barilaro.

“By building better infrastructure on council owned roads and bridges - we are getting product to market quicker - cutting costs right across the supply chain including on supermarket shelves.”

Round Two of Fixing Country Roads included a $50 million investment in the 2016/17 State Budget, and is ‘on top’ of the $43 million commitment in Round One. “Successful projects will better connect local and

regional roads to state highways and key freight hubs, such as silos, saleyards, rail heads, supermarket distribution centres, industrial parks and depots,” Mr Barilaro said.

“260 million tonnes of freight are moved across regional NSW each year – improving the way we do this is vital to supporting continued growth across the state.”

“The benefits of Round One are already being realised ‘on the ground’ with about 75 per cent of projects either open or near completion, for example round one co-funded the strengthening and widening of Parsonage Creek Bridge on Delegate Road in Bombala.”

Centenary of Battle for Fromelles fifth division raised in Australia.

In March 1916, the Australian Imperial Force moved to France, and

by July and August, the Australians were heavily involved on the Western Front.

The 5th Division was the first to encounter the Germans on 19 July 1916 in a small but bloody engagement at Fromelles in Northern

This month marks the centenary of the battle form Fromelles in northern France.

By early 1916, recruiting in Australia had raised sufficient troops to replace the ANZAC losses.

The Australian Imperial Force in Egypt was expanded to four divisions before being transferred to the Western Front, with a

France.

Shortly after, the 1st, 2nd and 4th Divisions became embroiled in the Somme offensive at Pozières and Mouquet Farm.

In six weeks of operations, the Australian divisions suffered approximately 28 000 casualties.

To mark the centenary, the Cooma RSL subbranch recently held a dinner at the Cooma ExServices Club.

Guests were piped in by Ty Fallin and the guest speaker was Captain Jessica Boyd.

In just one month’s time, millions of people across Australia will pause to complete the 17th national Census of Population and Housing, in what could be the country’s largest and most significant online event.

The 2016 Census will employ more than 39,000 temporary staff who will travel a distance equivalent to almost 200 trips around the circumference of the planet in order to count over 24-million people in about 10-million households, who come from over 200 countries and speak over 300 different languages.

Head of the 2016 Census, Duncan Young, said the August 9 Census will be the easiest and most accessible ever, with people able to complete their Census from their own home on their smartphone, tablet or computer. We expect 16 million people to complete the survey online.

“Later this month and into early August, the ABS will deliver some 10 million letters to every household around the country in preparation for Census night,” Mr Young said.

“These letters will be addressed ‘To the Resident’ and include a unique login and instructions on how to complete the Census online, as well as details on how to request a paper Census form.”

While a majority of Australians won’t hear from the ABS for a few weeks to come, Census Remote Area Mobile Team Leader, Steven Pearce, has driven 4,500km across northern Australia in the last two weeks, to ensure everyone in his remote area is counted as part of the Census.

“Within the 160,000 square kilometre area which I’m helping to count, I estimate there’d

be less than 3,000 people living here, but that does not mean the data is less important,” Mr Pearce said.

“My primary task now is to make contact with the communities and all the relevant stakeholders in those communities and lay a bit of groundwork which will enable us to carry out the Census in as efficient manner as possible.”

Mr Young said the ABS’ 105 Remote Area Mobile teams highlight the ABS’ extensive efforts to ensure everyone in Australia completes a Census form wherever they are on Census night.

The national Census has been a part of Australia since just after Federation and provides the most comprehensive and accurate picture of our rapidly growing and changing population.

Despite 16 previous Censuses over 105 years, the 2016 Census will coincide with the Olympics for the first time ever this year. Mr Young hopes that while Australians are waiting for the swimming finals to start on August 9 they will do their bit for the country by completing their Census.

“The 2016 Census is Australia’s moment to pause and make a difference, and help shape the future of Australia’s investment in housing, roads, schools and hospitals.” Mr Young said.

Local artists finalists in prestigious art award Two local artists have been short-listed in the Archibald, Sulman and Wynne Art prizes.

Lucy Culliton has reached the finals in all three competitions, while Imants Tillers is a finalist in the Archibald and Wynne Prizes.

In addition to these local artist, a visiting artist, Elisabeth Cummings has also made the finals of the Wynne prize with her exhibition “Monaro Shadow and Light: painted at Kelton Plains west of Cooma.

Lucy was thrilled to have her works selected in the three prizes, and although she has often had pieces chosen in one or two sections in the past, she has never “done the trifecta” before.

“I didn’t find out until quite late, so I had a few days of “woe is me, they didn’t like my paintings, I should just stop now”, but in the end I couldn’t have been more thrilled to be hung in all three,” she said.

Lucy is keenly involved in animal rescue and her Archibald and Sulman selected paintings depict pigeons that she re-homed after their Bega owner passed away.

Lucy said she was proud that the Monaro region had been so well represented in the prizes this year, praising both Imant Tillers’ and Elisabeth Cummings’ finalist selections. While Elisabeth does not live in the area, Lucy explains that she visits regularly to paint, and her finalist piece also depicts the Monaro.

And what does Lucy think of

“They said we could choose the ones we wanted to take home and the rest would be taken to Mogo Zoo for animal food, so we took them all,” she laughs.

“So it’s nice to have them in the paintings.”

She was also pleased to have the Monaro area depicted through her painting in the Wynne prize.

“It’s nice to have the Monaro and Ando up in the gallery,” she said. “The painting shows John and Heather Kimber’s Ando

“I would always come back from time to time to paint their property, and it was while I was doing this that I went into Bombala to do some shopping and saw the for sale sign for Bibbenluke Lodge, and now here I am!

So it’s nice to see that Ando property in the gallery.”

the

postman calls

The Postman heard this week that a proposal to sell SMEC to an overseas interest has received support from shareholders.

That’s another important Australian business gone offshore, more Aussie know-how gone, more jobs lost from our community.

The Postman wonders why the sell-off of our local companies, our innovation and in this case, an important part of our local history, is basically ignored and/or condoned by our governments.

So many, many clever people worked for SMEC while contributing much to our community. A sad day indeed!

Now the dust has almost settled on the Federal election, maybe we can turn our attention to saving our Snowy Brumbies.

If Premier Baird’s dictatorial stance on the greyhound racing industry is any indication, the fight to save another part of our heritage could get feisty.

The rally in Sydney, on August 2, needs your support. An independent review into the draft plan of management is urgently needed.

Wolgalu is a myth Editor, The word Wolgalu is a myth.

There has been a lot of misunderstandings, lies and intimidation from the powers to be which are coming from colonials, farmers, Forest Corp, National Parks and other government organisations, etc, they all use the word Wolgalu for the sole reason to disempower the Ngarigo and Nunnawal people.

It all started when a Wiradjurie man by the name of Murray Jack was brought onto Ngarigo country by white men and was given a king plate to hang around his neck and was provided with food and clothing and anything that he desired so in return he would intimidate the Ngarigo people on behalf of the powers that be as he (Murray Jack) was a wizard, Sharman, featherfoot or Wolgalu man.

The word Wolgalu means to put a curse on someone, to be empowered by an evil spirit, to stand over someone and intimidate them.

The word Wogle means a one-eyed, ugly man who lived on a point of land on the coast called Ugly Tom’s Point.

Wongal is a word meaning Boomerang.

There is no such thing as Wolgalu

Nation or peoples.

Anyone who embraces such beliefs in Wolgalu people are in danger of bringing upon themselves sickness and destruction of the Aboriginal people’s culture and heritage.

I believe National parks and Wildlife are pushing the Wolgalu myth to destroy the Ngarigo people’s culture and heritage and want power to manipulate a few of their own interests.

All the Ngarigo and Nunnawal people should come together and establish the boundary of their own country from Gundagai to Rosewood in the west to Bombala to Nimmitabel in the east, from the Cairn River in the south, to Yass in the north and reestablish our laws and songlines while we still have a chance, but we must all come together as one group like we were 7000 years ago when Biammie gave us our county, culture and laws.

There is no such thing as Wolgalu peoples, the more people who say it the more people believe it, it is a myth an evil spirit, there is no such mob as Wolgalu.

Uncle Jargiar Ngarigo elder, Tumbarumba

Credit where credit is due Editor, I would like to fully support Mr Bill Smits letter regarding the total lack of recognition of the Snowy River Shire involved with recent official opening and plaque associated with the new Berridale toilet block.

The plaque outside of the facility states it is the Snowy Monaro Council as being the benefactor for this significant community asset.

Snowy Monaro did not put one red cent into the building of it. I find it personally insulting that this new council is taking accolades for a job it had no involvement in.

It was Snowy River Shire Council money and continued dialogue with the local member John Barilaro which resulted in this much needed facility.

But more so, it was the long-term dedication of Snowy River Shire local interest groups and individuals which got this across the line.

It had absolutely nothing to do with the Snowy Monaro Shire Council and for it to be taking credit and claiming ownership is a total insult.

The commemoration plaque on the outside of the building is there for posterity to advise those who use it to be aware and acknowledge those

who made it possible.

If this omission is due to political correctness it is a totally bad look. If this is the new version of credibility and truthfulness of the new shire heaven help us.

Also in a recent conversation with the local member’s office I was advised that they also found it confusing why it was Snowy Monaro and not Snowy River Shire’s name that was on the plaque.

I also believe that it was the administrator not the previous mayor John who was given the privilege of opening the structure along with the local member.

Let this new organisation get its own runs on the board and not pat itself on the back for other people’s hard work and dedication.

This plaque needs replacing immediately acknowledging Snowy River Shire and giving credit where credit is due.

Truth, integrity and commonsense in all things.

Jindy Idol returns bigger and better than ever

The Tim Draxl Performing Arts Fund is excited to announce details of the sixth annual Jindy Idol, to be held in Jindabyne Memorial Hall on Saturday 24th September.

If you sing in the shower, tap dance round your kitchen, keep the family in hysterics with your jokes or entertain in any way, you qualify to enter Jindy Idol with a chance to win major prize money, an encouragement award and undoubtedly have lots of fun.

Each year Jindy Idol provides an opportunity for local singers, dancers and other performers to showcase their talent. The event raises money to support the Tim Draxl Fund’s workshops, master classes and performance opportunities for the Monaro’s young artists.

Entry forms will be available from Friday July 22 at the following outlets:

In Jindabyne: Kosciuszko National Park Visitor Information Centre, Snowprint Bookshop, Kosciuszko First National Real Estate, Design and Detail, (town centre) and in Cooma at the Visitor Centre.

Facelift for Berridale’s Jindabyne Road Construction is underway between Poplar and Highdale Streets in Berridale to construct drainage pipes, installation of new kerb and gutter, install concrete footpath and seal the west side verge of Jindabyne/Kosciusko Road in front of the land allotments.

These works are being undertaken by a private contractor under the supervision of Council and are expected to be carried out over a duration of approximately six weeks, given favourable conditions and contractor availability.

General Manager Joseph Vescio said, “during this time access to residential properties may be disrupted, especially when trenches are just backfilled or when fresh concrete is placed requiring time to cure and harden sufficiently before being used�. “We respectfully request your cooperation during these works and assure residents that the completed works will improve area drainage as well as overall aesthetics.

The widened carriageway will also provide some additional parking area in the front of allotments and there will be some added safety benefits as well�, explained Mr Vescio.

Each allotment will have access to a private stormwater service point to be located at the front of each property just within the road reserve where residents may connect their roof and property drainage stormwater pipes.

LRCs will serve as an advisory arm to the new Council during the transition phase to inform Council of issues that affect the community, by consulting with all residents, ratepayers and community groups across their Local Government Area on a wide range of local matters.

“While LRCs will not make formal decisions on Council matters, their advice and recommendations will play a large part in helping to set the direction and approach Council takes on important decisions,” said Mr Lynch.

DRAFT BUDGET AND OPERATIONAL PLAN ON PUBLIC EXHIBITION Snowy Monaro Regional Council has outlined how they will be serving their community within their 2017 Budget and Operational Plan and are now seeking comment from the community. The suite of documents, known as the Integrated Planning and Reporting (IPR) documents, are now on public exhibition are made up of the following: • 2017 Operational Plan (includes 2017 Budget) • Revenue Policy • 2017 Fee & Charges Prior to the proclamation being handed down on 12 May 2016, each of the former council areas had their draft suite of IPR documents on public exhibition for consultation with their communities. Once the proclamation took place, each of the former council areas draft IPR documents, were removed as the individual documents did not represent the new entity.

“A review of each of the former council area IPR documents was undertaken resulting in the creation of the draft SMRC 2017 Operational Plan, in accordance with the guidelines handed down by the NSW Government”, said General Manager, Joseph Vescio.

The IPR documents are on public exhibition for a 28 day period from Thursday 30 June to Thursday 28 July 2016. Council encourages all community members to review the draft documents and provide written feedback.

Mr Vescio added “this public exhibition period is an opportunity for the community to provide feedback on areas of concern. Council will consider each submission and required amendments will be re-presented to Council for adoption prior to 1 August 2016”.

The IPR suite of documents can be viewed via Council’s website or in hard copy at all Council Branch Offices in Berridale, Bombala, Cooma and Jindabyne.

If you wish to comment, please forward a written submission titled “Submission Draft IPR Documents 2017”, to the General Manager, either by post, Snowy Monaro Regional Council, PO Box 714, Cooma NSW 2630 or via email: council@snowymonaro.nsw.gov.au

Stop the brumby cull rally

Wild horses Blood on the ground Wild horse slaughter Gunshot sound Government hunter Me a horseman?

Not a chance But I know a sin At a glance Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way Will take its course Let them stray The wild, wild horse Been home and hearth For a hundred years That mountain earth It donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need tears Damage be buggered I do not believe Our land so rugged It can give A little erosion A few plants gone But not intrusion Of ugly man With ski field And chalets fake The land is killed With take, take, take Four wheel drives And litter abound

A rally in response to the NSW Draft Wild Horse Management Plan is being held in Sydney on Tuesday August 2 to coincide with the Horseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Birthday and the first sitting day of the NSW Parliament after the winter recess and Federal election.

Under the proposed plan, 90 percent of brumbies in the Kosciuszko National park will be culled.

Supporters and rally organisers need you to be there to make it known we oppose the possible shooting/removal of a large number of the Snowy Brumbies.

We will assemble at the Domain on Hospital Road at 9.30am and from there walk to State Parliament House, Macquarie Street.

Three brumbies will accompany the walkers carrying a letter on behalf of all Snowy Brumbies that will be presented to the Premier requesting a â&#x20AC;&#x153;stay of execution and clemencyâ&#x20AC;?

Let the horse survive On hallowed ground A bastard economy All about us Let the horse run free In nature trust Bugger refugee Use up the resources Bugger being free And bugger wild horses Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our attitude Scared of the world No wild, wild blood Do as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re told With urban sprawl The battles won?

Matureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call The mobile phone!

When will we learn Maybe never When all is gone We are so clever Find a way Without the slaughter May the wild horse stray Forever and Ever

A coach will leave Cooma at 4am. Depart Sydney 1pm. Cost $25 return.

To book and for further information phone Deanne Kennedy 0427 403 603 Also, please google the draft document and lodge a submission/letter registering your concerns with its contents. Closing date Friday August 19, 2016.

Write to Mark Speakman, Minister for Environment, PO Box 125, Cronulla, 2230 expressing your concern at the possibility of any shooting and the loss of 90% of the horse population.

Keep up to date with plans for the rally on smbug facebook The Brumbies need numbers to support their case for survival. To do nothing will surely condemn them to death by gunfire.

Help us help them.

Snowy Mountains Christian School Bourke expedition In June, four High School Students, the chaplain and the Principal of Snowy Mountains Christian school participated in a Bourke Outreach together with Eternity Aid. The Bourke trip was a wonderful outreach of our students being involved with Eternity Aid in interacting and showing love to the Bourke community.

It was an even bigger outreach of spiritual wisdom, teaching and love from the eldership in Bourke to us.

Bourke is ranked in the top 10 percent of the most socially disadvantaged areas in NSW and has one of the highest rates of crime. The imprisonment and unemployment rates for the town have historically been extremely high. Henry Lawson wrote, “if you know Bourke you know Australia” Eternity Aid’s mission statement states that their aim is to bring about significant, positive and sustained change for people, especially those that are disadvantaged and young people at risk. The Eternity Aid model is based on quarterly team visits to both Bourke and Taree.

The value of this is that it creates an independence mentality among residents rather than creating a dependency.

Our team from Cooma were privileged to have the elders from Bourke share part their stories and God’s amazing love.

Our team shopped for food for the Friday movie night, prepared the food and were directly involved in games for the young ones. Saturday saw our team join again with Eternity Aid in playing games with the children in the park during our barbecue.

Saturday afternoon we saw the

aboriginal fish traps at Brewarrina. The Brewarrina Aboriginal Fish Traps is tangible evidence of the sophisticated understanding of Aboriginal people of engineering, physics, the land and its natural resources.

On Sunday, church was abuzz with worship and spiritual engagement. It was very alive and encouraging.

The principal is proud of the SMCS team’s outreach to Bourke and delighted in the connections with the people of Bourke.

After 70 years, Kevin continues to play and love his music “This was great, and the show helped pay the expenses of the trip.”

Of course this added considerable experience to Kevin’s musical career, and after they returned home he continued to play alongside Bob at dances throughout the region. Bob played the drums and Kevin stuck to his accordions, performing in Dalgety, Bobundra and many other towns.

Kevin also played with a three piece band at the Bombala RSL Club, with Bruce Roworth on piano, Garry Reid on drums, and Kevin himself playing the piano accordion.

And he eagerly took on any other musical opportunities that came his way.

“It was about this time that I was to become a member of the Bombala and District Brass Band, which played marches at the Anzac services,” Kevin says.

“I played the trumpet for the Last Post and Reveille, but my main instrument was the euphonium. The Band Master was Brian Antaw.”

Seeming to be able to play almost anything he picked up, Kevin bought himself a keyboard which was to become one of his main instruments, and some time later he became a member of the Four Cents band.

This is a fondly remembered group in the area, comprising of singer, Brian Beileiter on guitar, saxophone and clarinet, Ray George on drums, Don Tetley on saxophones, Bob Southwell on bass and Kevin himself on the keyboard.

When Bob left the band, Barry Hampshire came on board as another singer and guitar player, and the Four Cents continued playing at Eden, Bega, Narooma, Bermagui and various other venues for many years.

After the band folded up, Kevin continued playing for dances at Rocky Hall, Wyndham, Towamba and many more before joining his next band, the TJs. This group too is fondly remembered in the area, being made up of Kevin and his son, Allan who sang and played guitar, Shane Jones on drums, Garry Jones who also sang and played guitar, and Fred Jones on bass.

The TJs covered as much ground as Kevin’s other bands, playing at clubs and other venues including those in Bega, Tathra, Kiah and Delegate.

And finally, the last band that Kevin was a part of was Sound FX, consisting of Kevin and Allan once again, along with Andrew Toirkens on guitar, Nick Stevens also on guitar, Michael Crouch on drums and two singers, Steven and Ian Perkins.

“All of my years playing with bands, travelling all over the Monaro and South Coast and even Victoria, were very enjoyable years,” Kevin says.

“They are something I could never forget and are why I still love playing so much today.”

While he has had some of his best times playing in bands, however, Kevin has also had great satisfaction as a member of the Bombala and District Country Music Association, which he joined 24 years ago.

The group supports local musicians and up and coming country music artists in particular, and Kevin enjoys accompanying the singers and players at the association’s events when needed.

“I also purchased a guitar, which I play a lot, and also sing many songs, which I should have done years ago,” he says.

Kevin’s main venue for playing

music now is the Currawarna Aged Home, as well as as the Bombala and Delegate Hospitals, which he thoroughly enjoys as he brings live music to those who have little opportunity to get out and enjoy it as they once had.

“I have been asked by many to play certain songs; if I cannot remember them I ask the person to sing a little of the song, and I have learned many which I did not think I knew!” he laughs.

“I have been associated with music for around 72 years now, and I continue to play many new tunes. I hope I can continue to carry on for a long time yet.”

“I know people my age who have given away playing music, but I just couldn’t do that. It’s part of who I am.”

So says Bombala’s Kevin Turnbull, who has been playing music for over 70 years now, and has no plans on falling silent soon.

Kevin first became interested in music some time between 1944 and 45, having fond memories of his uncle Walter visiting his parents’ house and playing the button accordion.

“I liked it and wished I could do the same some day,” Kevin said.

“After a time my uncle could see that I was interested and said he would teach me to play the C major scale, and I was to practise this up and down until I was able to do it without thinking. Then he would see how I went the next time he visited.”

After he had mastered the scale, Kevin found that he was able to play tunes that he had heard, including the ones that his uncle played.

“My uncle decided that I was good enough to help him play at some dances, so I went with him to Kybeyan, Mt Darragh and some other places.”

This was the beginning of a lifetime of playing for audiences throughout the region.

Much to Kevin’s delight, his parents bought him a piano accordion, which included books outlining how to play, and also how to read music.

“This was wonderful,” he says, “as it would help me to play music which could not be played on the button accordion.”

Always supportive of his music, Kevin’s parents also bought him a piano, and although the youngster quickly learned to play, it never became his favourite instrument.

“I played for some time, but it was not what I needed at that time. I could not get my left hand going properly, because I only used two or three fingers on the bass on the accordions,” he explains.

The piano was sold, and Kevin continued with his beloved accordions, soon playing at further gatherings, including a dance at the Rosemeath School.

Here he recalls helping Charles Brotherton and Thelly Jones with the music, which he said was a great experience for him.

Kevin’s talents must have been noted on the local music scene, and before long he was invited to become a member of Bob Haggar’s Sno-Drifters Variety Revue, an acclaimed country music show that performed throughout southern NSW with a varying cast.

“I travelled to many towns throughout NSW starting at Yass, then as far north as Baradine and other places,” Kevin said.

TAX TIME

Wednesday July 13, 2016

78% of Aussies love ATO benchmarks helping build their accountant - really! small business Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s officially tax time and officially the worst time of year for half of Australia with 49 per cent admitting they loathe completing their return.

But getting Aussies through the taxing times are their amazing accountants, with nearly 80 per cent outsourcing their tax return to a professional and 78 per cent admitting they love their accountant!

ServiceSeeking.com.au CEO Jeremy Levitt said it was refreshing to see the old stereotype surrounding accountants getting a facelift. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rightly or wrongly, accountants have often been labelled boring geeks without people skills. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see they are breaking through that mould and showing off their personalities to capture and grow their business.â&#x20AC;?

More than half of all jobs listed for an accountant on ServiceSeeking. com.au are posted between the peak tax months of July and September.

But interestingly, quotes during that period actually fall with July being the cheapest month to get a tax return completed at an average price of $95.

The price stays under $100 for August and September before jumping to $105-$122 during other months of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The interesting thing here is that the quoted price actually falls for July through September, which runs

counter to most normal markets; high demand usually pushes prices up,â&#x20AC;? says Mr Levitt.

And with only 22 per cent of Aussies completing their own paperwork, those accountants with solid people skills and great attention to detail have a lot of work coming their way right about now. Forty-seven per cent of respondents were lucky enough to find the love of their tax lives right away, while 53 per cent have shopped around - sometimes up to six times to find the person who understands their receipts and deductions best.

It seems weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re generally a nation of people willing to get their paperwork in on time, with 61 per cent of those surveyed completing their return in the first two months of the new financial year, with 82 per cent completing it by the end of October deadline for individuals.

Some other interesting details include: â&#x20AC;˘ 51 per cent are happy with the rate of tax they pay â&#x20AC;˘ Only 16 per cent have been audited in the past â&#x20AC;˘ Less than 10 per cent have been fined by the ATO The survey collected responses from more than 4,000 ServiceSeeking.com. au customers.

The ATO today announced the latest benchmarks for small business. Based on the data from 2014 income tax returns and business activity statements, the benchmarks cover over 1.3 million small businesses.

Assistant Commissioner Matthew Bambrick said one of the great things about the benchmarks was that they gave a lot of small businesses peace of mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a small business is inside the benchmark range for their industry and the ATO hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t received any extra information that may cause concern, they can be confident that they probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear from us,â&#x20AC;? Mr Bambrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Business performance check tool on the ATO App also makes it quick and easy for small businesses to compare their own operations with industry benchmarks.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Bambrick said the benchmarks were also a helpful guide for small businesses to see how they stack up against others

in their industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know a lot of small businesses, advisors and industry associations use the benchmarks to gauge competitiveness, whether or not costs might be too high or profit margins too low. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes when a small business finds themselves outside the benchmarks for their industry it may be because they have more waste than their competitors or theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending more on materials in comparison.

Using the benchmarks as a guide, not only can they identify where they are slipping behind but also how they can improve and build their business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, one business told us how their accountant used the tailored benchmarks to work out that their expense to turnover ratio was higher than other businesses with a similar turnover. Using this information the business adjusted some of their inputs and how they were pricing their products.

These changes resulted in an

overall improvement in their performance.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Bambrick said for some small businesses outside the benchmark range it could also simply be a case of being incorrectly registered or the business intent changing since starting up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These types of small administrative errors can be easily fixed by checking the previous yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax return to see which Business industry code was used and then updating it in the next return and on the Australian Business Register,â&#x20AC;? Mr Bambrick said.

While the benchmarks are a helpful guide for small business, Mr Bambrick said it was also one of a number of tools the ATO uses to ensure a level playing field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use tools like benchmarks and data matching to protect honest businesses from competitors who are trying to get ahead by avoiding their tax obligations.â&#x20AC;?

Lost super threshold increased to $4,000 Under new legislation, inactive superannuation accounts with balances below $4,000 will be transferred to the Australian Taxation Office (‘ATO’).

Legislation came into effect from 1 January 2016 that mandates all inactive superannuation balances be transferred by super funds to the ATO. From 1 January 2017, this minimum balance will increase to $6,000.

Any lost superannuation can be reclaimed through the ATO however, it is easier if members avoided this

altogether by staying engaged with their superannuation and working with a professional financial adviser at Boyce Chartered Accountants.

Your superannuation account is currently at risk of being transferred to the ATO if it has a balance below $4,000 and has been inactive for 12 months or more.

If you have multiple inactive superannuation accounts, you could save hundreds of dollars in fees by consolidating your accounts or simply update the details with the existing superannuation funds to

prevent it from becoming lost.

Combining separate accounts will allow you to invest more in your retirement.

But before you close any accounts, it’s important to check with your fund about any hidden fees, charges, or insurance issues.

Director of the Boyce superannuation team Julie Schofield, cautions members to check the implications of superannuation consolidation to their insurance cover as consolidating an account may mean losing valuable insurance cover that you could

need in the future.

The easiest way to locate any accounts you may have is to create a MyGov account through the ATO, which will list all of your accounts for you, the balance, if it has insurance and the contact details for the super fund.

For further information or to speak with a professional financial advisor about your wealth in your retirement contact the Boyce office on 6452 3344.

Ladies, handbags can be tax deductible The Australian Tax Office (ATO) has confirmed that handbags used for work are tax deductible in certain situations.

Reports suggested the ATO makes it easier for men to claim deductions for briefcases than it does for women to claim for handbags.

In an interview for News.com. au Assistant Tax Commissioner Graham Whyte confirmed that the door is open for a greater number of claims to be made on handbags.

“You can claim a deduction for assets that are predominantly used for work purposes, such as bags and satchels used to carry work papers or electronic devices, to the extent that such items are used for

work purposes,” he said.

In a statement, he said that while handbags have the “hallmarks” of private expenditure, it is the use of the item rather than its description that is relevant. For example, if a briefcase is primarily used to carry lunch and other personal items to work it is being used in a similar way to a handbag and no deduction for its cost would be available.

The ATO’s rules are simple; if a handbag is bought mainly (more than 50 per cent) or wholly for work, is used to carry work-related items and is an essential part of a person’s ability to earn an income, then a claim can be made.

But there’s a catch — you

have to keep a logbook to prove it carried more than lipstick and lunch to the office. The ATO loves documentation and in order to support your claim it would be preferable to keep a log book for at least a month to prove usage.

Fundamentally if you are carrying work items to and from work, be that a laptop, work papers and minor personal items, then you are in a position to claim a reasonable deduction for the cost of a handbag or manbag.

As if we didn’t need an excuse to buy that handbag we have been eyeing off…

Our vegetable garden in the Arthur Miles Wing was really enjoyed by our residents, and will once again be planted out in Spring. The residents who wish to be involved in the gardening now have their own garden shed with a supply of tools for their own use. Family members and friends are very welcome to participate in the gardening with the residents if they wish to. Thank you to our gardeners for planting out all of the spring bulbs, we are all eager for them to be in flower.

SWHMC is so fortunate to have three new graduate nurses commence employment with us, we welcome Aleyssha, Wendy and Brianna to our community. The nurses will be given the chance to improve their skills while increasing our registered nurse workforce.

Our new coffee shop is a huge success. Opening Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays from 2 - 4:30. The shop sells tea, coffee and hot chocolate with a piece of cake or biscuit for $4.50. When you are visiting grab a hot cuppa for yourself and your family member to enjoy.

Tommy was recently the recipient of a new pair of shoes courtesy of the Cooma Community Chest. Thank you for your generous gift and for considering our residents, these gestures of kindness are so appreciated.

Our pet therapy is on a new level with the cheeky young pup Rocky winning over the hearts of our residents. He is so loved by so many people and has really started to show his character.

Rocky is often seen being cuddled by the residents, sleeping on their laps or running through the corridors wearing his cute little coats. He was recently spotted carrying his toy and moving from room to room checking on each resident. Our pet therapy also includes our fish and birds as well as our other Jack Russell, Holly. Lilly the poddy calf has returned again for a visit bringing with her another little calf friend. The residents have been enjoying bottle feeding the two calves and watching them in the courtyard.

A group of eight children from St Mary’s Parish in Bombala and St Joseph’s in Delegate received the Sacrament of Confirmation recently at St Mary’s Church in Bombala.

Father Tony Percy, Vicar General for the Archdiocese, confirmed the children and was assisted with the Mass by Parish Priest, Father Mick MacAndrew.

Those confirmed were Max Smith, Max Chaplin, James Tellis, Zara Badewitz, Alex Reed, Lucy Merritt, Nikolas Gay and Brigid Dunne.

Be electricity aware on the worksite Essential Energy is reminding tradespeople, scaffolders and other construction workers to be aware of the potential for electrical hazards on the worksite and stay safe around electricity.

Regional manager Southern, Steven Ilitch, said plant equipment and temporary structures should be kept well clear of the electricity network.

“Powerlines can be situated underground and overhead and workers should be aware of their location before picking up a jackhammer, operating machinery or excavating an area,” Steven said.

“We recommend every worker, from the foreman through to the apprentice complete an onsite safety induction before commencing work – identifying the location of all electrical hazards.”

The Electricity Supply Act requires any

excavation work to be logged with the free Dial before you dig referral service at www.1100. com.au, to identify the location of underground utility assets.

The safe operating distance for workers and their equipment from overhead powerlines is three metres for distribution and transmission lines up to 132kV and four metres for scaffolding.

If scaffolding has the potential to encroach within four metres of powerlines, builders must contact Essential Energy to ensure safety controls are implemented to keep workers safe.

“We also recommend a competent safety observer be assigned to each worksite to monitor work teams and guide machinery movements near overhead powerlines,” Steven said.

Heather Anoleck Dip FMBM

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

ARE YOU SELF-EMPLOYED, OR A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER WANTING TO BUY A HOUSE OR COMMERCIAL PREMISES? FINDING IT HARD TO GET FINANCE? I often hear from people that they are struggling getting finance through their Bank as they are self-employed.

Or they want to buy their business premises, but the rates are so much higher. Come and talk to me.

I have years of experience in reading business financials and tax returns, and know how to present them to the Lender in an application. I also know which Lender’s policies will give you more chance of an approval, as they do have different assessment policies.

There are also some Lenders out there who are offering business loans on low residential rates, using either residential or commercial security. One Lender at the moment, has a variable rate of under 4.50% for business loans, with either residential or commercial security. To find out more, or to see if it would suit your needs, contact me for an obligation free appointment.

I also have built up some connections and referral partners, so that if I am unable to assist directly, I can refer you to someone who may be able to. If you are looking for equipment finance or leasing, I can arrange for someone to contact you to discuss options.

Being self-employed also means you need to look after other areas of your financial situation, to ensure you are on the right track. Damian Toms is a senior financial planner, who can offer advice on areas such as personal insurance, super, wealth creation, and retirement planning. I confidently refer my clients to him, and receive very positive feedback. I can arrange for him to call you or make an appointment to meet.

So, whatever your current situation is, I am more than happy to have a chat and see if I can improve your situation.

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

8 Boundary Street 5 Bed, 3 Car, 3 Bath REDUCED TO $390,000 A rare window of opportunity for astute investors or family home buyers looking to be in a prime location.

In an elevated position and sitting on a large level block. First time offered 8 Boundary Street, Cooma. A much loved family home for over 40 years it has become too much for the owner and she has reluctantly decided to sell.

One time owner, the home luxuries were not spared when they built the property. A large entrance area greets you from the front door, here you can leave your coats shoes or umbrellas. To the left is a generous size lounge room complete with the original bar.

Large windows let in a lot of natural light to the west but also have blinds to keep out the summer sun. From the lounge room you access the kitchen and dining room.

This kitchen has over the years produced some of the best Italian cooking and entertained family and friends for the last 40 years.

The main upstairs area has three large bedrooms, ensuite, laundry and separate WC.

Access to downstairs is also located in the hall and the hidden secrets are revealed from there.

Two large bedrooms, double garage, huge storage areas, third WC and great wine cellar are located here.

It is a real second living area and would be perfect for visitors or family staying to enjoy the Snow in winter or lake for all summer activities.

A second garage and workshop area is located on the side of the home, while a large enclosed back yard provides plenty of room for the kids and pets.

The home is within a short walk to the centre of Cooma and across from the Showground so the perfect location.

Although the construction is solid as it was built by master tradesmen in the day the cosmetic side is dated and would do with a complete refresh adding thousands to the value.

Ducted natural gas heating is replacing the original oil and this will be completed in the short term.

This home lends itself to endless possibilities and is a rare find.

I need a family to protect

“I am the spacious brick home at 9 Nioka Pl, Cooma. I have many special features which make me an ideal nurturer of a family”.

“I have ducted natural gas heating and a big wood heater. I have a lovely L-shaped verandah that absorbs the morning and midday sun. You will be more than comfortable in my 4 bedrooms and big living rooms”.

“For you executive types who work at home I have a large office and a

double garage”.

“You may not know, but I was built

by Coll Adams (now deceased) and he made sure that I was nicely finished.

A real achievement is that I have no steps at the front or back. That has suited “oldies” and “youngies” for years now”.

“I love to see the children walking home from school and then playing in my big back garden”.

Come and meet me!

Perched on the peak This outstanding rural, lifestyle property will change your life! You can picnic beside Slacks Creek, collect your fresh eggs, pick your fresh fruit, admire your stock or simply relax on the deck with a cuppa or glass of wine.

Located approx 10kms from Cooma and on approx 10 acres this is a perfect lifestyle block with the convenience of still being able to pop into town for any forgotten supplies. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re into golf then it is only a couple of minutes drive to the club house.

The home itself has many added features. Besides the four bedrooms it also has an office, large rumpus room, rear family room and a timber lined rear utility room. This is a great room to get away from it all giving the home an array of living areas, plus a functional kitchen with plenty of storage.

Two RC units and wood heating which provides year round comfort.

Another nice feature is the exposed beams and timber ceiling in the lounge room. This area of the home has a great outlook through the large windows and lets in the early morning sun. Expansive windows take in the stunning views and provide natural light throughout the home.

A front verandah overlooks a fenced house yard complete with a covered BBQ area. Further features to the land include a three bay shed. Chook run, machinery sheds and water is provided by rain and bore water. The land does also border Slacks Creek.

A fantastic family-friendly location where all can quickly get to work, sport, or school and then still come home to their rural sanctuary.

Economic uncertainty gives the Reserve Bank a reason to hold Uncertainty at a local and global level has encouraged the Reserve Bank of Australia to leave the official cash rate on hold.

Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to leave the European Union combined with ongoing uncertainty around Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next government had provided the Board with the incentive they needed to leave the cash rate untouched at 1.75%. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal election happened days ago, we are still yet to find out who has won,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This, combined

with the ongoing global economic fallout associated with the Brexit result, has created a lot of market uncertainty at a global and local level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking ahead, these two events are likely to have a negative impact on consumer confidence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something the Reserve Bank would be acutely aware of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For these reasons, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprising to see the Reserve Bank leave the official cash rate on hold today. I believe the Board will wait to see what impact recent events have on consumer sentiment and the broader Australian economy before making any changes to the official cash rate.â&#x20AC;?

But while Mr Flavell said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised to see the cash rate left on hold at todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board meeting, he argued future rate cuts could not be ruled out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Depending on what the end result of the federal election is and what impact it has on consumer confidence as well as other key economic metrics, we may see the Reserve Bank of Australia cut the cash rate at least once more this calendar year,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Reserve Bank will also be keen to see what the next round of inflation data reveals.

As we saw in May, a poor inflation result can encourage the Reserve Bank to cut the cash

rate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regardless of what the Reserve Bank decides to do in the future, the fact remains that interest rates now sit at historical lows â&#x20AC;&#x201C; making the cost of borrowing more affordable than ever before.â&#x20AC;?

For those thinking of buying property in the not-too-distant future, Mr Flavell said now was a great time to get onto the property ladder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those with a mortgage who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reviewed their interest rate in several years, now is also the perfect time to get a home loan health check to ensure you are still in the right product for your needs,â&#x20AC;? he said.

SMGS Junior School Cultural Day On Thursday 23 June, the Junior School held their annual Cultural Day. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus was on the continent Asia. The day was packed full of great events. Students spent the morning circulating through â&#x20AC;&#x153;stationsâ&#x20AC;? made up from the countries, Japan, India, China and Vietnam.

Some of the activities for each country included, sushi making and panda bear masks at the Japan station, blocks for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great Friendship Wall of Chinaâ&#x20AC;? at the China station, collage and paddle pop stick boat-making at the Vietnam station, as well as creating good luck elephant mobiles at the India station.

When asked what the best stations were, the students all agreed that the sushi from the Japan station and the butter chicken from the India station were the greatest parts.

Director of Junior school Scott Frize emphasised the importance of Cultural Day in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curriculum stating â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cultural Day is one of several important events that we hold each year, providing students with a fun engaging approach to raising cultural and global awareness, it is important to ensure that the experiences make for authentic learning.

Each year we focus on a chosen continent and choose countries from within to explore on the day. This year we looked at Asia. It is hoped that over the course of a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time in the Junior School they will have had opportunities to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;visitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the continents of the worldâ&#x20AC;?.

We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to see what part of the world SMGS Junior school heads to next year

Elders Cooma welcomes new team member Elders Cooma has welcomed a new service and a new team member.

Trudy Heins is the new in-house financial planner for the Monaro region.

Having spent the last few years farming and financial planning in Tasmania, Trudy is excited to be moving back to the region where she can be closer to family. Originally from Canberra, Trudy has now moved to Cooma and is looking forward to creating new relationships with her local clients.

Trudy has her own financial planning business operating under the Elders banner. She is very experienced, having been a financial planner for the last 20 plus years. Trudy is a Certified Financial Planner, CFP which is the highest designation a financial planner can hold.

She also has a Diploma in Agriculture, and having run a 120 acre property in Tasmania, is more than familiar with the challenges involved in financial planning requirements for farmers.

However her services are not restricted to farmers and she is available to all members of the community, from Yass, Goulburn, Canberra, the Monaro and the South Coast.

Developing close relationships

with her clients is what Trudy enjoys most about her job. She feels it is important to build the relationship of a trusted adviser in order to give the most relevant and beneficial advice. From a farming perspective, often being an intergenerational industry, she highly values these relationships.

B u d g e t i n g , superannuation to investments and personal insurance, Trudy covers it all.

In fact in a few short months, after she completes her studies, Trudy will also be a mortgage broker through Elders home loans.

Elders Cooma is excited to be offering this new financial planning service, which will be an asset to the region, and extend a warm welcome to Trudy.

Trudy is in the Elders Cooma office on Mondays and Wednesdays and available anytime for a meeting.

Call now for an appointment.

Pictured: Libby Stewart, Trudy Heins and Leanne Bujalski at Elders Cooma.

The team are very excited to welcome Trudy, offering the new service of Financial Planning to the region.

Managing Bo Peepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stray sheep Putting strays back through may be swept away in flood

By Dr Jess Coad, Livestock a boundary fence, on the waters, or fence lines may be Biosecurity Network Little Bo Beep may have lost her sheep, but should you find them (or her cattle) in your paddocks, be aware they may be carrying unwanted pests, diseases or weed seeds and pose a serious risk to the health of your livestock.

Stray livestock can undo months or years of hard work in combatting pests and diseases and prevent some livestock from accessing markets. For this reason, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to be on the front foot and have a biosecurity plan in place for their management.

Any livestock that stray in to a mob should be checked as soon as possible for clinical signs of parasites or disease. Weed seed can also be carried on the coat or fleece of strays or in their faeces.

The sooner the owners of stray livestock are identified and they are returned home or to an agreed drop off location, the less risk they pose.

assumption that this is where they came from, is definitely not good practice, as your neighbour may also view these strays as a biosecurity risk to their livestock.

Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sure that is where they came from, your neighbours might not be too happy if they consider interaction with your livestock a risk to theirs!

A good way to alleviate this dilemma is by discussing stray management with neighbours and coming to a pre-arranged agreement.

If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where the strays have come from, the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) ear tag can help identify the owner. Your local NLIS officer or State Government Animal Health Officer can assist with tracking the owner down through the NLIS. Livestockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tendency to stray is one reason it is important they are NLIS ear tagged. Another is natural disasters, where livestock

destroyed by fire, high winds or flood waters.

After removing strays, continue to monitor your livestock for signs of pests and diseases over a number of months. Up to 3-6 months may be required for signs of conditions such as sheep lice to become apparent, or up to two years for Johneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease.

If the risk of pests or diseases is high, or you notice signs of the pest or disease in either the strays or livestock the strays had contact with, consider quarantining this mob from others on the property and treating them if a treatment is available.

Adequate, fit-for-purpose and well maintained fencing should be front and centre in every producerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biosecurity plan, because fences do lot more than just keeping your stock in.

Fencing plays a vital role in protecting your livestock from stray livestock, which can bring in new diseases, pests and weeds.

Launch of Prime Dorper Lamb brand Dorper sheep breeders and processors gearing up for the launch of the Prime Dorper Lamb brand in the next few months are hoping to replicate the success of breed-based beef brands.

Underpinned by Meat Standards Australia (MSA), the Prime Dorper Lamb brand is seen as the next step for producers to increase awareness of the quality of their sheep meat and ensure a consistent supply to local processors.

Donna Emmerton, a board member of the Dorper Sheep Society of Australia (DSSA), says with the South African meat breed finding a foothold not only in the rangelands but across much of Australia, it was important to find a way to supply a consistent branded product to build a reputation similar to leading beef breeds.

“Our producers are keen and motivated but it’s difficult because they are Australia-wide, so by using MSA as a ‘backbone’ it means all producers are on the same page, producing the same product consistently,” Ms Emmerton said.

“There’s also been such rapid growth in Dorpers in the past 20 years that we feel that consumers don’t always distinguish between our lamb and other breeds, and we think it’s important to make that distinction to create more demand and make Dorper the ‘lamb of choice’.

“The DSSA has visions of Dorper being the Angus of the sheep world.”

The DSSA has been quick to adopt MSA supply chain management protocols and spread the word amongst its members, holding regular information days with MSA representatives from Meat

& Livestock Australia (MLA).

MSA Operations Manager Sarah Strachan said the independent endorsement of the MSA program enables the customers of Dorper lamb to purchase the sheep meat with confidence.

“For consumers, MSA takes the guesswork out of buying lamb because it has successfully identified the critical points along the supply chain that impact on the eating quality of sheep meat,” Ms Strachan said.

“When producers implement best practice, low stress management and provide good nutrition, they are delivering the best possible product into the supply chain.

The processors then ensure these animals are handled with minimal stress and continually monitor processing techniques that optimise meat quality.

“Each MSA eligible cut is then labelled with an appropriate cooking method, so the consumer has the best chance of having a successful eating experience that meets their expectations.”

The DSSA will draw on more than 600 members in six states to supply the Prime Dorper Lamb brand.

As a way of ‘speeding up’ adoption, the DSSA is offering a co-branding agreement to existing Dorper lamb suppliers who already have their own brands. From July, those who meet licensing agreements will be permitted to brand their product with their own logo and that of Prime Dorper Lamb.

Licensing agreements require producers to be members of the DSSA, purchase and use only rams from a registered DSSA stud, provide lambs that are at least 87 per cent Dorper (minimum third

cross) and ensure only a premium quality product is supplied.

Processors will be required to select only lambs from MSAregistered and DSSA-licenced producers, that weigh between 18-26kg, have a fat score between 2 and 3, and have met the MSA standards.

A simple but effective Prime Dorper Lamb logo has already been produced, and Ms Emmerton says it’s getting a good reception from use on caps, shirts and vests.

“It seems to be unifying members of the Society because any merchandise with the Prime Dorper Lamb logo on it is flying out the door,” she said.

“The logo is simple yet eyecatching, and it will be an option for butchers and food service outlets to use to identify the Prime Dorper Lamb products at point of sale.”

Meat Standards Australia (MSA) was developed by the Australian red meat industry to improve the eating quality consistency of beef and sheepmeat. The system is based on almost 700,000 consumer taste tests by over 100,000 consumers from 9 countries and takes into account all factors that affect eating quality from the paddock to the plate.

Donna Emmerton, a board member of the Dorper Sheep Society of Australia (DSSA), says using MSA to underpin the Prime Dorper Lamb brand will help to ensure consistent product.

The Dorper Sheep Society of Australia is keen to make Dorper the ‘lamb of choice’.

New Chief Executive appointed at RAS The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) has today announced the appointment of Mr Brock Gilmour to the role of Chief Executive.

Mr Gilmour, an employee of the RAS for over 20 years and most recently General Manager, Finance and Corporate Services, will confidently step into the role after the resignation of Mr Michael Kenny, following over four years of service.

Brock Gilmour has experience in over ten roles at the RAS, including positions within Food & Beverage, Operations and most recently, Finance.

With three degrees in areas of Mathematics, Science and Accounting, Mr Gilmour has a thorough understanding of all business operations, with an education to match.

RAS President, Robert Ryan, said while he is saddened to lose such an inspiring colleague in Mr Kenny, he is extremely pleased with the Board’s permanent appointment of Mr Gilmour.

“Brock Gilmour has already proved his passion and commitment to our organisation, and it’s an exciting opportunity for the business to have his intellect and skill at the centre point of all decisions moving forward,” Mr Ryan said.

“It’s a great time to be in agriculture, and it’s fulfilling to have the Board’s and Councillors’ belief in our new Chief Executive, who will lead this

organisation into an even better space.

“Michael Kenny has created a strong and positive culture within the RAS. He will be missed by the whole business, however he will leave a long-lasting legacy with the excellent initiatives he implemented during his four years in the role, including enhancing RAS infrastructure and revenue streams,” said Mr Ryan.

Mr Gilmour said he was honoured and humbled by the new appointment and hopes to lead the organisation forward in this new era.

“I’m flattered to be approved by the Board and appointed Chief Executive at the RAS, an organisation with incredible history,” said Mr Gilmour.

“After 194 years, it’s a testament to the business that it not only still delivers Australia’s largest ticketed event, the Sydney Royal Easter Show, but hosts many of the state’s major exhibitions, sporting teams, concerts and community festivals right in the heartland of Western Sydney at Sydney Showground.

“There will be challenges that lie ahead, however I’m looking forward to being on the front line and working with the fantastic RAS team ensuring our organisation makes all the right decisions,” Mr Gilmour said.

‘Bert’ announces retirement After 37 years of loyal service, Bombala district’s pest animal controller and storeman, Chris (Bert) Ingram has announced his retirement.

Bert’s last day with the Forestry Corporation of NSW was Friday, July 1, and his service was recognised and celebrated with some drinks at the Bombala RSL Club.

Market Comment: It was an enthusiastic start to the 2016/17 wool selling season with the NRI rising 26 cents, bringing it to a 12 month high and making it the best season start in 11 years.

The broader merino microns continued to be the focus and largely carried the market higher. 21 microns jumped almost 50 cents for the sale and are now approaching 1500 cents clean.

The superfine sector was more variable with lower spec types advancing more slowly while the more stylish types found renewed support, rising in line with the broader categories. Merino Skirtings c/kg cln

21 Mic AU

firmed slightly for the week, as did Merino Cardings.

The strength in the Merino sector came despite a jump in the AUD which magnified the rises in US dollar terms. In contrast however the Crossbred market continued to track lower, falling 20-30 cents.

Just under 40,000 bales were offered this week and a similar amount is expected next week, in the final sale before the annual three week recess.

Christmas in July with Bombala Chamber

Annie Platts, Chris Ryan, Diane and Dawsy Stewart, Colin Ryan, Rudi Wertenbach and Michael Platts shared the occasion.

Bombala Chamber of Commerce President, Paul Perkins and Snowy Monaro Regional Council Administrator, Dean Lynch.

Bruce Chadderton, guest speaker Kath Farrell and Gabby Rae at the Chamber of Commerce Christmas in July dinner.

Christmas came early to the Monaro this year as the Bombala Chamber of Commerce celebrated Christmas in July on Friday night.

A festive gathering of around 40 people came together in the Bombala RSL Club, with the business community of the district enjoying the chance to network and socialise.

Guest speaker for the evening was Kath Farrell who outlined the new National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) which provides individualised support for people with disability, their families and carers.

Kath explained the implications of the

scheme for the local area and said that she hoped the community would get behind the initiative as it is rolled out nationally.

Chamber of Commerce President, Paul Perkins and Administrator of the Snowy Monaro Regional Council, Dean Lynch also addressed the gathering, speaking in positive terms of the newly formed Council and the benefits it may bring to the Bombala district.

A feature of the evening was the presentation of recognition awards to both Chris Ryan and Tania Ingram, both of whom dedicated around 20 years to running local businesses before recently

Stewart and Jan Lee shared Christmas in July.

moving on to different chapters in their lives.

The next Chamber of Commerce meeting will be held on July 18, with a focus on discussing ideas for projects that can be put to the newly formed Council, with hopes to work towards their completion over the next 18 months.

With both Paul Perkins and Penny Campbell indicating that they will not be continuing in their executive roles with the Chamber at the next AGM, those interested are urged to give the positions some consideration prior to the meeting in August.

Pat Lomas enjoyed the festive night with Clinton and Rocky Badewitz.

Bombala Scooter Club celebrates fifth birthday The Bombala Scooter Club has celebrated its fifth birthday with lunch at Cosmo’s Cafe, Bombala.

Mother Nature presented the Scooter Club with a cold, wet and windy day for the July meeting.

Undeterred, a small but enthusiastic group of Trailblazers met at the Cosmo Café to celebrate the Club’s fifth birthday.

Arthur and Dina created a wonderful party atmosphere decorating the café with Trailblazer memorabilia and presenting the celebrants with a beautiful cake.

There was much to remember: thinking back to the first meeting in May 2011 and

the first ride which followed in June, the Trailblazers who have come and gone, the activities and events, and the many people who have supported the Club over the years.

The group enjoyed looking through the photo albums from each year and viewing dvds which featured their participation in Eden Whale Festival Scooter Races, the Bombala Bike Show and Street Carnivals. The film produced by local TAFE students in 2012 brought back some fond memories of the Club’s early days.

Coordinator Cynthia Dolan presented Arthur and Dina with a certificate in appreciation of their unfailing care and attention in providing the Trailblazers with a venue and afternoon tea for their monthly meetings. Terry Daish was also recognised for his volunteer service and support for members and club activities.

The work and ongoing support of the other Club sponsors who were unable to attend the celebration was then acknowledged: the Bombala RSL Club,

Country Mobility Trends – Heinz Gloor and Stephanie Pongrass, and Bombala Council Lana Martin, Community Services Manager.

The Trailblazers’ next ride and meeting is scheduled for Tuesday 2 August. For more information regarding Bombala Scooter Club activities contact Bombala Council Community Services – Phone 6458 4620.

The Scooter Group is supported by financial assistance from the Australian & NSW Governments.

Hard work and determination finally payed off for the ever improving Fillies The improving Fillies headed down the Brown this week for a tough two games of football, the descent into sunshine was bound to provide a great day of footy for Cooma United Football Club.

First game of the day saw the Fillies take on Candelo Bemboka United Panthers. The strong attack of the Panthers pushed the Fillies defence to the limit with four mistakes in four sets, the Fillies were caught on the back foot defending off their try line for most of the first half.

A quick two tries from the Panthers didn’t seem to worry the Fillies as they continued to push in defence.

Attacking sets soon came to the Fillies and they didn’t hold back. Using their training and set plays Katey made a break up the wing putting the ball over the line. A missed conversion

by Yasmin didn’t seem to diminish the girls’ spirits as they continued to drive ahead.

Strong tagging and line speed soon saw the Fillies making their way up the field out of their danger zone. The excitement getting the better of the Fillies, leading to drop balls and loss of ground, didn’t stop our raging Fillies as they copped it on the chin and continued to play a strong game.

With the Panthers leading 8-4 at half time the Fillies, determined to show their improvements, hit the field in the second half with strong tagging

by Molly, Ash, Erin, Lara, Hayley and Katey. Pushing the Panthers in their attacking game. Great runs by Lan, Jess, Kaesi, Louise and Keyara saw the girls gaining metres fast on the Panthers. Again the excitement of a possible win got the better of the girls, forcing the Fillies to dig deep, working harder together to have a chance of staying in the game.

Quick hands and good ball skills saw another opportunity to win this game with a quick break by Keyara leading to the Fillies second try for the day. A missed conversion saw the Fillies match the Panthers on the score board.

At eight-all with 20 minutes left on the clock, a kick off was needed and received which gave the girls possession of the ball in meters of their own try line. What they lost in dropped balls they made up in tags that’s for sure, leaving the girls at full time with an eight-all draw with the mighty Panthers.

The Fillies walked away from their first game having learnt valuable lessons from the Panthers, enthusiastic to take these into their next game.

After a short break, and an unfortunate loss for the Stallions reserve grade, the girls hit the park

again to take on fifth place holders the mighty Merimbula Pambula Hot Doggies. Injuries and fatigue were not going to stop the Fillies in their second game of the day.

The young Doggies displayed massive improvements from previous years showing the Fillies that it is possible to rebuild a side.

The Fillies took the field with a fresh attitude, however, holes in the girls’ line of defence and fatigue played a massive part in the game. The Hot Doggies showing off their speed in attack as they broke through the Fillies defensive line. Great tagging by Katey, Liv and Jess saw try saving tags close to the try line.

Again, the Hot Doggies quick ball work and speed saw them get ahead of the Fillies. This was not going to get the Fillies down, with determination the Fillies came back hard. Impressive ball skills from Tanika, Heather and Lara saw the Fillies making ground, although not enough to get them out of their defending zone.

With fatigue setting in, the Fillies were determined kept moving up and putting pressure on the Hot Doggies.

It paid off with the Hot Doggies dropping and fumbling a few balls.

The Fillies took advantage of this giving Ash, Yasmin, Katey and Erin the opportunities to break through the line.

With the Hot Doggies leading at half time, 14-0, the Fillies took the field again with new found energy and determination. The Fillies did not giving up and kicked their way into the second half more eager than ever. Silly mistakes and dropped balls saw the Fillies defending off the try line and the Hot Doggies moving forward on the scoreboard, ending the game with a 26-0 win to the Hot Doggies.

Game 1 points went to: 1 point to Heather Parsons, 2 points to Lan Nichols, 3 points and players player to Katey Patricks.

Game 2 points went to: 1 point to Kaesi Baker, 2 points to Olivia Barron, 3 points and players player to Molly Janota.

The Fillies had a great day, through the hard work and determination at training, this was by far some of the Fillies best footy.

The Fillies would like to thank both the Bemboka Candelo Panthers and Merimbula Pambula Hot Doggies for their comments after the game. Both sides commending the Fillies on their improvements over the season. The Fillies would also like to thank their sponsor’s Fortitude Physiotherapy, Cooma Hotel, Cooma Toyota, Your House Cooma and Red Energy along with the ever growing support from the crowd every week.

Aspen Cameron taking part in some mounted games.

The Delegate Pony Club Rally of July 3 was well attended, with 10 riders braving the very frosty -5c morning.

Roweena and Rachel Butterworth set up and instructed some exciting new sporting and mounted games.

All the riders and their ponies had a great day using new techniques and it was great to see all riders encouraging each other as they worked together as a team.

There is now a lot of excitement building for the Delegate Pony Club’s up and coming Gymkhana that will be held on September 4 at the Delegate Showground.

The Club will be holding two rallies next month, dates being August 7 and 21. Both will have a 9.30am gear check with a 10am start in preparation for the Gymkhana.

Tuggeranong hit back moments later to score their first goal 2-1.

This did not discourage Cooma who kept the pressure on and at the 30th minute were rewarded with a goal from Libby Goggin to make it 3-1 going into half time.

After a quick half time briefing, Cooma knew exactly what needed to be done to win the game.

An unlucky call inside the box gave Tuggeranong a penalty and their second goal narrowing Cooma’s lead to 3-2.

After the penalty Cooma looked a little lost with an absent midfield giving Tuggeranong a lot of room to move and put pressure on Cooma’s defence.

Cooma hit back and Alicia Rampal was able to sneak one straight past Tuggeranong’s keeper to make it 4-2.

Tuggeranong did not put their heads down and with a perfectly timed cross into the goal Sam deflected it back into

Sunday July 10 saw the Cooma Lady Tigers team return to the field after a bye last weekend to play Tuggeranong United.

Eager to get back to their winning form they started strong with a goal in the opening minute from Stacey Kelly taking a well timed shot from outside the box to put Cooma in front 1-0.

From there Cooma maintained the pressure with shots at goal from Libby Goggin and Alicia Rampal keeping the Tuggeranong keeper on her toes.

Tuggeranong started to find their feet and also have some shots on goal but Cooma Tigers Keeper Sam De Ruijter was on fire, with some of her best work of the season so far.

Kerry Baines found herself in some space and was able to put a beautiful ball through to the feet of Libby Goggin who made no mistake in finishing to give Cooma a 2-0 lead.

Stacey Kelly was just about the clear the ball when a Tuggeranong forward came in and tackled her to the ground and put the ball past Sam to make it 4-3.

This tackle also took Stacey out of the game with a nasty knee injury.

With only 15 minutes of the game left Tuggeranong started to build momentum. Cooma played hard and keep fighting as they knew they could not settle for a draw.

Alicia stepped up again to give Cooma their final goal and the win 5-3.

Next week Cooma play their final away game for the season against Goulburn Strikers.

After this they will play the last five round games at home.

Handicap pairs matches begin at Cooma With weather causing bowls to be called off on Wednesday it relented to allow bowls on Saturday with one rink of social bowls and seven first round matches in Handicap Pairs .

In social bowls on Saturday Rowen Venables, Maureen D’Amico and Cheryl Meillon came up against Olga Jebbink, Judy Locker and Renate Winckel.

A feature of this match was that all the ends won by Rowen, Maureen and Cheryl were one shot ends .What a pity there were only five of them. Olga, Judy and Renate also had several one shot ends but a heap of two’s as well.

Handicap Pairs matches were varied as far as winning margins were concerned and ranged from half of one shot to 20 shots.

Max Butler and Colin Roberson, receiving one shot start defeated Guilio D’Amico (Subbing for Mick Mayhew) and Tony Gray 19/12.

Mario Frezza and Geoff Venableos, scored five shots on the last end to defeat Mike Mannile and Paul Cannell 20/19 ½ .

Ken Rees and Peter Marsicano had to play an extra end to defeat Bob Douglass and Peter Caldwell 18/17.

Steve Lapham and Mark Buckley gave three shots start to Sergio Roncelli and Don Jarvis and won 23/17.

Sandi Litchfield and Brian Seears received four shots start from Allan Crowe and Daniel Clough and won by that margin, 21/17.

Bob Lahy and Wayne Lodge conceded 2 ½ start to Chris Mould and Garry Taylor and trailed 3/11 ½ after 11 ends.

In winning nine of the remaining 10 ends Bob and Wayne moved to the next round 26/12 ½.

The final match, Darren Collins and John Barnes received two shots start from Wayne Flynn and Ignazio Mondello and were all the way winners 33/13.

John Barnes was unavailable for Sunday’s play which meant Darren moved to skip and Rowen Venables came in as a sub.

Handicap Pairs continued on Sunday in bleak but calm weather.

Max Butler and Colin Roberson received two shots start from Peter Harris and Mel Storta and were right on target in winning 22/13.

Bob Lahy and Wayne Lodge had to give seven shots start to Rowen Venables (subbing for John Barnes) and Darren Collins.

This was the closest match of the day with Rowen and Darren getting one shot on the last end to win 23/22.

Steve Lapham and Mark Buckley took 11 ends to make up the 3 ½ shots start they were giving to Sandi Litchfield and Brian Seears but went on to win 24/16 ½ .

Mario Frezza and Geoff Venables took only five ends to make up the 2 ½ start they were conceding Ken Rees and Peter Marsicano before going on to win 22/14 ½.

One semi final, Mario and Geoff v Max and Colin is to be played today and the other, Steve and Mark v Rowen and Darren on Sunday 17th.

Bob Douglass joined Olga Jebbink to play Renate Winckel and Cheryl Meillon in the only game of social bowls for the day.

Renate and Cheryl gained four shots on the second end then spent four ends on five shots for Bob and Olga to take the lead. Scores were even on two occasions with Bob and Olga eventually winning 16/14.

Bombala Golf Club news Friends and Members of the Club were shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden death of Christine Douch.

Chris had been struggling with her health for a number of years and it was with disbelief that we heard of her passing so suddenly.

Chris was a talented golfer and has been the Ladies Club Champion for 18 of the last 20 years. Ill health prevented her competing in the other two years. This is a remarkable record that will be impossible to break. Chris also holds the Ladies course record.

Chris served a couple of terms as the Ladies Captain.

To Merv and Chris’ loved family our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with you in your sad loss.

Rest in Peace Chris. You are now free of pain and will be missed by all.

High Heelers carry the flag for Bombala against Moruya On Sunday July 10, the Bombala showground played host to the catch up wet weather round against the Moruya Sharks and Sharkettes in the group 16 Rugby League competition.

High Heelers

The local girls found the first half of this contest a tough battle. With the muddy slippery conditions, ball handling seemed to be a consistent issue for both teams.

Despite the Heelers still with most of the field possession, they were forced to grind out the first half with solid defensive efforts given the consistent handover of possession.

Lucy Sellers, Patrice Clear and Amy Stone were particularly instrumental in defence with their solid tagging efforts. Various opportunities to score out wide on both wings were waved away as the Moruya defence proved tough to crack.

The away side continued to test the Heelers ball handling skills by putting the ball into the air on most sets, but the safe retrievals from Keiarna Rodwell were outstanding and she continued to prove dangerous in her hard line running upon returning the ball.

With the scores remaining nil all at half time, the Heelers were determined to capitalise on a less muddy try line with safe hands after the break.

It was Georgie Clarke who deservedly scored first points capitalising on a loose ball from the Moruya side, scooping it up to place down over the try line.

Georgie had a fantastic game, consistently making great line breaks and gaining the Heelers much needed field possession.

Starting to find their groove, only two minutes later Monique Ingram would take the blind side option finding the defence out numbered, off-loading to the lightning paced Tash Stewart. Tash ducked and weaved through defenders leaving them out off their feet, striding away to score under the black dot. The score at 10-nil the Heelers were forced to defend their own line as the Sharkettes got back to back sets, however the Heelers stood strong, their defence never failing.

As the full time siren loomed the Heelers found themselves back up on their own try line and as the ball was quickly spread wide, Kristy

Murray Jackson

Nicholls offloaded a perfectly timed ball to put Annie McGrath in for a late try in the dying minutes of the game.

The Heelers took victory at 14-0 in a tough, grinding battle of testing conditions. Player’s player awarded from her peers went to Georgie Clarke (sponsored by Monaro Post). 3 points went to Tash Stewart (sponsored by Raw Strength & Fitness), 2 points went to Georgie again and 1 point went to Keiarna Rodwell (sponsored by Rodwell Haulage & Plant Hire).

Reserve Grade

Another tightly contested game for the Blue Heelers reserve grade but unfortunately this time the Heelers would not come out on top. The go forward from the likes of Keiran Wilson, Clay Clear, Matthew Stone and Sam Sten continued to help the Heelers gain good field possession. Clay Stewart was able to muscle his way over to score first points for the Heelers, on converting his own try, the scores would be all locked up six all just 13 minutes in. The scoreboard would see a tit-for-tat scoring regime, where Bombala would again take the lead through a classy Ben Mooney try in the 23rd minute, with the score at 12-10. However Moruya’s attack proved hard to handle for the home team and by half time Moruya would go into the sheds winning 1220. The Bombala boys came out, it seemed on fire, just three minutes in Sam Sten would add another four points to the Bombala side, with a successful conversion Bombala would only be 2 points away from levelling things up at 1820. However with a much more solid defensive effort from both teams in the second half, points were not as common as in the first. Mick Sullivan would be instrumental in directing the troops around the field and taking some classy runs himself gaining good field possession.

Kurt Lomas was great out of dummy half not only feeding well executed balls but proving extremely solid in the defensive line.

Unfortunately it was Moruya who again scored before the siren and cemented their win 18-26. Players player went to Keiran Wilson (sponsored

by Brownlie Bro Shearing), 3 points went to Sam Sten (sponsored by Village Ford), 2 points went to Kurt Lomas (sponsored by Clear Cut Electrical & Rural Services) and 1 point went to Mick Sullivan (sponsored by DF &D Stewart).

First Grade

The Blue Heelers first grade team had the tough task of taking on the top of the table, undefeated Moruya Sharks.

An extremely gutsy effort from the Bombala lads saw a game that would almost end in their favour. Captain Mick Weyman of the Moruya Sharks, former NRL player, was first to acknowledge the efforts from the Bombala team not only for their courageous and skilful efforts on the paddock but for their efforts over the last two years, staying determined, committed and loyal to standing alone as the Bombala club, willing to put in the hard yards to build as a club to ensure the first grade comp continues to be a success for group 16.

As the game started off, Moruya gained first points just two minutes in, however Bombala did not drop their heads and a clever Nick Rosten pounced on a loose ball from a Moruya error, to even things up on the scoreboard. The game was proving very physical with Luke Ingram instrumental in putting his body on the line, hitting just as hard in attack as he did in defence. As Moruya gained a penalty close to their line the force of Mick Weyman proved too

Georgie Clarke

Tash Stewart

Matt Stone

hard to stop, Moruya taking the lead 6-12. However Bailey Jones made a fantastic 70m run, out shining the defence with his pace, only to be met by their fullback just metres shy of the line, a skilful offload to the supporting Tyler Jones could not be matched and Tyler scored, taking the score to 10-12.

Moruya seemed rattled by the onslaught from the classy home team and from the kick off kicked out on the full. Bombala again capitalised with a precision ball thrown from Andrew Guthrie to hit a steaming Wame on the chest who beat defenders and dived over in the corner to take the lead for the Heelers.

With Wame able to covert from the side line the score was now 1612. Wame not done yet, pounced on a very well executed high ball from Paul Perkins, to place the ball down yet again over the try line.

At 22-12 the Bombala Blue Heelers went go into the sheds a comfortable 10 points in front.

However the Moruya team came out firing in the second half proving why they are on top of the ladder.

They hit Bombala’s right side edges multiple times finding space and overlaps, with three quick tries they took the lead 22-28 in the 51st minute.

The next 20 minutes of football was gruelling, filled with big hits,

multiple penalties, one of which was advanced due to back chat from Moruya giving the Bombala team multiple chances and great field possession.

Murray Jackson displayed outstanding work rate again constantly carting the ball up for the home team.

Brett Hodak was pivotal in defence, often putting his body on the line. With the crowd on their feet the ball was spread wide early only to be wrapped up by the Moruya defence. From here Moruya capitalised on ball possession and ran in two more tries in the last 10 minutes of the game to cement their win at 22-38.

Players player was awarded to Luke Ingram, 3 points went to Murray Jackson, 2 points went to Brett Hodak and 1 point was shared between Paul Perkins and Bailey Jones.

Thank you to all the supporters who again came out to watch on another mild day. T hank you to the Bombala RSL club for their major sponsorship and hosting the presentations after the game. The Bombala & District RLFC would like to welcome you all back next Sunday the 17th of July for the last home game of the season in round 13 against the Narooma Devils and She-devils.

down 5-10 (first to 11 wins) in the 5th game and fought back to win 15-13 in a thrilling match.

On Sunday Sam played New South Wales’ number 1 seeded player in the Grand Final. Sam’s skill and fitness proved too strong and he won convincingly in 4 games. Sam will be competing in the

Stallions facing two critical matches in run-up to finals First Grade The Cooma Stallions First Grade team lost to MerimbulaPambula in a tough game played in heavy conditions.

The recent inclement weather meant the Cooma team was caught short in their preparation with just an hour training on Friday before the match.

The Stallions were also missing several key players with several reserve grade players backing up and some players forced to play out of position.

Cooma were coming off the back of two convincing wins and were caught short when Merimbula-Pambula came out firing.

The match was a dog fight for the entire 80 minutes and the harsh conditions meant the Stallions tried to change things up.

“We overplayed our hand too much then toned it down too far when we tried to fix it,” Coach Todd Williams said.

“I give full credit to Merimbula-Pambula, they played really well.”

Cooma opened the scoring before Merimbula-Pambula answered with a try of their own.

The Stallions scored again to take the score out to 10-6 but they were flat and running one out without much width or depth in attack.

An altercation after half time resulted in two Stallions players and one Merimbula-Pambula player being sinbinned.

Cooma managed to score with 11 on the field taking the lead out to 20-6 but eventually Merimbula-Pambula found the edges and caught them short, getting a roll on and taking the final score to 22-20.

Williams said he is not disappointed with the outcome even though it puts Cooma back down to third spot on the ladder.

“It’s good to have a competitive tough game leading in to the final. It was a real test in our character and we came through better for it,” he said.

The next two games are vital for Cooma if they want to finish in a good spot for the finals.

Williams said he is close to having his best side on the field and is hoping that things will go right when the Stallions play Bega away this weekend.

Reserves The Stallions made the trek to Pambula where they were to do battle with a depleted Candelo team.

This was supposed to be the game where the Stallions were to mount an attack on a semi final spot.

Whilst they started strongly and scored the first try, it was all downhill from then as they were dominated by a much more committed Candelo side.

The failure to stop the big forwards making inroads on every set had the Stallions defending on the defensive 22.

The effort was there from the Cooma team but lacked execution and many a play fell down with unforced errors.

This now leaves this side having to win the last two games of their season against the sides sitting First and Second on the ladder, A daunting task but one well within the ability this side has.

Fillies The consistently improving Cooma Fillies contested a double header on Sunday in Pambula. In the first game the Fillies drew 8 all with the Candelo-Bemboka Pink Panthers.

After being behind twice in the match, the ladies continued to attack and with tries to Katey Patricks and Keyarra Marshall the ladies almost snatched their maiden win for the year.

Player’s player for match one was Katey Patricks with 3 points, Lan Nichols received 2 points and 1 point went to Heather Parsons.

After what felt like only a short break the ladies backed up against the Pambula-Merimbula Hot Doggies. After a very spirited defensive effort, the ladies went down 26 to nil.

However this score line does not reflect the competitiveness of the match.

Player’s player for game two was Molly Janota with 3 points, Olivia Baron received 2 points and 1 point going to Kaesi Baker.

This Sunday the fillies face the Bega Chicks in Bega, with kick off planned for 10.30am.

Also a reminder that on Sunday July, 24 the Fillies and Stallions host Moruya in the last round before the finals begin, there should be some great football played and we encourage everyone to come down and support our local teams.

The ladies would like to acknowledge and thank everyone for the support and advice they are getting from all areas within the club. This continued support just goes to show the level of team spirit within the club.

Under 18s The Cooma Stallions Under 18’s unfortunately had to forfeit on the weekend to Merimbula Pambula due to several players being away and injured.

It’s been a difficult season with teams pulling out at the start of the competition making the Under 18’s only a 5 team comp. Due to this the team has had several occasions where there have been no games for several weeks and this affects the teams overall match fitness. To the Under 18’s credit the boys continue to turn up to training and continue playing even when numbers have been down.

There are only two games left in the competition before semi’s start and at this stage the boys are in 3rd position overall.

Bega retains GF Bega Valley Mayor, Michael Britten and Group 16 Rugby League President, Dean Lynch have agreed on a plan that will see the code’s Grand Final played at the Bega Recreational Ground on August 21.

Facilities at the Ground have suffered on the back of repeated vandalism, which has been a challenging set of circumstances for Council to manage.

However following concerns expressed by the Group 16 committee this week, Mayor Michael Britten and Council’s Recreation and Leisure staff have been able to find a temporary solution.

“I am pleased to advise that the games’ biggest day of the year will go ahead in Bega,” Cr Britten said.

“Thanks to the good will and cooperation of Mr Lynch, we have put in place measures that will meet the demands of spectators,

officials and players.”

Council and Group 16 will share the responsibility for temporary toilet and canteen facilities on the day.

Mr Lynch said that the arrangements were a good result for local footy fans.

“This means we can accommodate a large crowd in comfort,” Mr Lynch said.

Bega Valley Shire Council is also pushing ahead with long term solutions, with upgraded facilities part of the Bega Sporting Complex Master Plan approved by Councillors on April 6.

“The Rec Ground is an important asset, it is such a shame a few people have lost sight of that and destroyed community property,” Cr Britten said.

“Grand Final Day has been an important part of Bega’s cultural and business life for many years, this is a great outcome for the Shire”, Cr Britten said.
