Calves euthanased after truck accident Police had to euthanise nine calves after a B-double cattle truck rolled onto the passenger side on Polo Flat Road. The truck was travelling north when it tipped onto its side just beyond the railway tracks at 11.26am on Friday. The 49-year-old NSW driver was transferred to Canberra Hospital with neck pain. Police are still investigating the incident.

Police were required to use a taser on a 42-year-old man at the scene of a grassfire at Rock Flat on Sunday afternoon.

The fire of approximately 150 acres on Tom Groggin Road is believed to have been started by wires arcing in the windy conditions, resulting in hot metal on the ground.

Police were in attendance to assist RFS and NSW Fire and Rescue who were called to the fire at 3.15pm. Police will allege a 42-year-old man from a nearby property approached crews from Fire & Rescue NSW and the Rural Fire Service who were attempting to fight the blaze.

He became aggressive towards Fire & Rescue NSW officers and prevented them from attending to the burning grass.

During the confrontation, the man allegedly slammed the door of a fire truck onto the leg of a fire officer.

Fire officers withdrew from the scene due to the man’s behaviour and contacted police when they allegedly noticed a firearm inside the man’s vehicle.

When officers from Monaro Local Area Command attended to speak with the man about the alleged incident, he allegedly rammed a police car before driving off.

Officers followed the man and were able to stop the vehicle in a nearby paddock.

The man allegedly got out of his vehicle and approached police in an aggressive manner.

He refused several directions to stop and an officer discharged a Taser at the man which caused him to fall to the ground. He continued to resist attempts to restrain him

and was Tasered again before police were able to handcuff him.

The man was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance Paramedics before being taken to Cooma Police Station, arrested on charges of intimidation of a fire officer, hindering a fire officer, resisting and hindering a police officer, assaulting a fire officer and malicious damage caused to a police vehicle. The man has been granted bail and will attend Cooma Court on Thursday 9 June.

A man reported missing in the Alpine region was located safe and well. About 1am on Monday May 2, a 43-year-old male from Kalkite went to Dead Horse Gap near Thredbo with the intention of walking to Ramshead Range. At 6am he contacted a friend to notify them that he was lost and police from Monaro Local Area Command commenced a search for the man.

About 3am on Tuesday, the man was able to find his own way back to the road and located his parked motor vehicle.

He then notified a friend that he was safe and well and was subsequently spoken to by police at Jindabyne before returning home.

A motor vehicle accident occurring in Old Adaminaby early Saturday morning had three people transported to hospital. There were four Adaminaby people in the vehicle when it came off Yens Bay Road and onto the grass. Rolling once the silver Toyota

Park to cull 5000 brumbies

Outrage over wild horse plan for KNP Plans to cull 90 percent of the population of brumbies in the Kosciuszko National Park have angered pro-brumby groups, horse riders and the local community.

The draft plan of management, which was originally expected to be available late last year, was released on Sunday.

The plan states there is a brumby population of 6000 in the park and states the intention to reduce that number to just 600 over the next 20 years.

The methods of reduction include trapping and ground shooting, amongst others.

President of the Snowy Mountains Bush Users group Peter Cochran, expressed his outrage at plans to ground shoot the horses.

He is also sceptical of the timing of the plans release – in the Federal Budget week and just short of a federal election being called.

Mr Cochran said the timing was ‘quite deliberate, in the shadow of an election”.

He said the plan has introduced ground shooting, which the National Parks and Wildlife staff and State Government have opposed.

“Licensed shooters can’t shoot pigs, etc, but they are saying that now they can shoot horses”.

SM BUGS will hold a meeting this Sunday to plan a defence for the brumbies – they intend to employ a consultant to help pull together a coalition of pro-horse groups from across Australia.

“This isn’t just a local issue,” Mr Cochran said.

He said his organisation has the financial

resources to fight the plan.

President of the Snowy Mountains Brumby Sustainability and Management Group, Alan Lanyon, is similarly outraged by the planned cull. “In a nutshell, we utterly reject the proposed culling as inhumane and a waste of resources.

“People should be aware that the petition calls for banning aerial shooting right across the state.

“We want the State Government to halt its present trapping program and to develop legislation that protects the brumbies through a proper plan of management.”

“A mass rally is being planned to protest against the proposed slaughter of Snowy Brumby in Kosi National Park. Watch this space ! If the NSW Government want a scrap we will accommodate them!” – Snowy Mountains Bush Users Group president Peter Cochran.

“We support the Stockwhip project, proposed by Ross McKinney, which rehomes the brumbies and puts them to good use – but that hasn’t been mentioned in this plan.

“We further dispute there are 6000 brumbies in the park – our research has indicated there ate between 2700 and 3200 horses.

“This plan is only a rewrite of the 2008 plan. It is a death sentence for our Snowy Mountains brumbies, who will be consigned to history.

“There is nobody in a position to put the brakes on them (the NPWS) and we have no faith in them.

“The NPWS should immediately stop its present trapping program until the plan has been signed off on. There is no urgency to be trapping brumbies at this time.

“The Member for Monaro John Barilaro has told us he won’t support aerial culling and our petition, calling for the banning of aerial culling is due to be put to parliament this week.

Mr Lanyon’s group will hold a public meeting in Jindabyne on May 22, at a venue to be announced.

NSW Environment Minister Mark Speakman has invited the community to have its say on the Draft Wild Horse Management Plan for Kosciuszko National Park, now on public exhibition.

Mr Speakman said while wild horses would always be part of the cultural heritage of Kosciuszko National Park, current numbers were unsustainable and the horses were damaging the park’s fragile alpine and subalpine environment.

“The draft plan outlines how the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) proposes to reduce the overall population of wild horses in the park using a range of humane and cost-effective methods that will see numbers reduced from 6000 to approximately 3000 in the next five to 10 years,” Mr Speakman said.

The draft plan responds to the complex issue of wild horse management by

proposing a range of humane control methods including trapping, rehoming, mustering, ground shooting, fertility control and fencing. Aerial shooting, ‘brumby running’ and ’roping’ have been ruled out.

The draft plan proposes reducing wild horse population numbers over the next 20 years to a permanent population of around 600, and identifies three locations in the park that could carry this smaller population with less environmental impact.

“Wild horse management is an emotive and complex issue. There are diverse opinions in the community and often deeply held views which polarise stakeholder groups,” Mr Speakman said.

“It is clear, however, that the broader community values the unique environmental values of Kosciuszko National Park and looks to NPWS to protect it.

The Draft Wild Horse Management Plan for Kosciuszko National Park and details on how to provide feedback can be found at www. environment.nsw.gov.au/protectsnowies The draft plan will be on public exhibition from May 1 to July 8 and during this time the community is encouraged to provide feedback. NPWS will also host a series of open days in the Snowy Region. Please visit the Office of Environment and Heritage website for details.

The Monaro Post has tried numerous times to get comment from the Member for Monaro, John Barilaro about his position on the brumby cull but he had not returned our calls at the time of going to press.

Plenty of WOW factor in 2016 Community Chest Fashionation A celebration of local designers, local models and local industry, the Community Chest’s Fashionation was a roaring success on Saturday evening.

The 425 guests were wowed by the transformation of the Gordon Litchfield Wool shed into a fashion runway that would have had looked right at home in Milan.

It was all about the wool on the night as each creative garment was strutted down the runway created by eleven local designers.

Erin Donnelly, Flora Elliott, Tonya Evans, Elle Hopwood, Tracey Lundgren, Rasa Mauragis, Gabrielle Merrigan, Lynlee O’Keefe, Talia of Princesses & Punks, Charly Thorn and Birdsnest designers Hannah Knight, Peige Eber, Yen Jiam and Tahlia

Nicholson created some beautiful pieces for the event. In fact Birdsnest took the opportunity to launch their brand new label.

From fabulous dresses to scarves, hats, ties, jackets, trousers, blouses, beanies to even some floral arrangements, the designers showed the versatility and glamour that can be achieved when using wool.

There was even a dress made from a wool pack by young Virginia Platts of Ando.

She created the dress from a wool pack and wool as her HSC design major work last year.

There was also an open category allowing the designers free reign to use different fabrics aside from wool.

Special VIP guests that attended the

night included Woolmark Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) CEO, Stuart McCullough, AWI Sheep Industry Specialist Stuart Hodgson and AWI Industry Events Manager Wendie Ridgley. All were very impressed with the event, the message it presented about wool on the Monaro, and the effort that had gone in to organising everything.

Not only was the evening enjoyed by all, it was also for a great cause with all the money raised from the evening going to the Community Chest.

The Community Chest is a local charity group that helps individuals of the CoomaMonaro and Snowy River Shires in need of charitable assistance.

In the past 12 months, the Community Chest has donated $5,000 to families with

disabled children for medical treatment, up to $5,000 to homeless teenagers and struggling families, a further $5,000 to their ‘Keeping Kids in Sport’ and ‘Preschool Foundation’ initiatives.

The Committee is completely made up of volunteers who worked tirelessly to make Fashionation the great success that it was.

They would like to thank all the people that contributed to the night, the list of whom is far too long to include in this article, but without their three major sponsors, AWI, Gordon Litchfield Wool and Hazeldean, the night would not have been possible.

This was the second Fashionation event, with the inaugural event being held in 2014 at the Cooma railway.

Church’s 50th birthday

On May 7, 1966 at 2.30 the dedication of the Presbyterian Church in the new town of Jindabyne was dedicated to the Glory of God and to the service of the people of the mountain community.

In 1977 it became known as Uniting Church in Australia and is now known as Alpine Uniting.

For half a century, all who have entered the churchyard have been captivated by the beauty of the scene. As the people of the church have journeyed together through times of joy and sorrow, difficulties and achievements, they have known themselves to be truly blessed. Many expectations fulfilled and of course at times disappointment but they never lost sight of its original meaning and purpose The Presbyterian Church in the old town had been in place from 1913 on the side of the hill looking out toward

Kalkite and East Jindabyne, we still look to these same landmarks across a massive volume of water covering the old Town and holding the waters of the Snowy River and its tributaries to share and irrigate other areas.

Throughout the weekend 0f May 7-8 there will be displays of photos and memorabilia in the Church Hall from 1pm Saturday and all day Sunday,.

We’re looking forward to catching up with old friends, reminiscing, chatting, sharing the good, best and better times of the past 50 years.

Saturday May 7, 2:30pm reenactment of original dedication ceremony followed by Afternoon tea, a service of thanks for all that is past and of hope for the future will be held at 9:30am Sunday May 8 with a light luncheon to follow.

We would love you to join us.

$700,000 to develop Indigenous tourism business centre The Australian Government will provide the Eden Local Aboriginal Land Council (LALC) in NSW with $700,000 to develop a business centre to capitalise on the huge tourist potential of the Bundian Way. Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Nigel Scullion, and the Member for Eden-Monaro, Dr Peter Hendy, jointly announced the funding during a visit to the Eden LALC today. The Government’s investment will focus on funding capital expenditure and the refurbishment of premises.

Minister Scullion said the Bundian Way extended for about 360 kilometres and was an ancient pathway between Targangal (Mount Kosciuszko) and Bilgalera (Fisheries Beach). “The Bundian Way is of great cultural significance to the Yuin people and, in 2012, was the first Aboriginal pathway to be listed on the NSW State Heritage Register,� Minister Scullion said. “It is an ancient pathway that links the highest part of the Australian continent with the coast and traverses some of Australia’s most spectacular countryside. “We will work with the Eden LALC and other stakeholders to develop the Bundian Way as a walkable pathway all the way from the NSW High

Country to the South Coast. “When properly developed, it has the potential to not only attract vital tourism dollars, but help to inform visitors about the region’s Indigenous heritage. The Coalition is all about jobs and growth and this funding will help to support this outcome.�

Dr Hendy said the Bundian Way offered great tourism potential for the Bega Valley region. “The Bundian Way is a significant piece of Indigenous heritage in our region,� Dr Hendy said. “I’m very proud to be part of a government that is committed to preserving this area for all to enjoy. “I’m sure the Bundian Way will continue to see increased interest and will be an important tourist attraction in the Bega Valley.�

Delegate Progress Association President, Penelope Judge “commented It is good news and means that after so much prevarication and delays we can move forward with the project. The DPA welcomes the announcement.(Sorry I can’t be effusive with praise but the various governments have been very slow to give and the fact that an election is coming makes this a very cynical gesture)�.

‘GROWING’ Our Roots Run Deep General Manager, JOE VESCIO

I was pleased to be a part of the opening of the new amenities building at Rainbow Pines Tourist Caravan Park at Old Adaminaby last week. Council is the Trustee for this Crown Reserve and as such administers the lease with the leasees of the Park, and oversees the maintenance of all the assets on the Crown Reserve associated with the Caravan Park assets.

In 2015 Council applied for grant funding through the Public Reserves Management Fund Program to replace the amenities building but unfortunately the application was unsuccessful.

Due to the state of the facilities Council then resolved to proceed to replace the amenities building and fund the works from the Crown Reserves Funds held by Council. This reserve fund consists of income from the lease or hire of Crown Reserves within the Shire.

The project cost Council in excess of $650,000 and we look forward to seeing the Park prosper into the future.

Due to wet weather it was necessary to postpone the resealing works of the Jindabyne and Berridale car parks. We apologise for any inconvenience and are happy to report that the resealing has now been completed, with the car space painting to be carried out in the coming weeks.

The 2016 Dalgety Women’s Day is on the way! To be held on 11th of May, we are pleased to welcome back Jackie Furey , who delighted us in 2012 with her stories and wonderful sense of humour.

Rosanna Laconia, National Stakeholder Relations Manager from the NBN, will also be a speaker along with a local representation.

Entertainment will be provided throughout the day, with the lovely ladies from Beautiful Imperfections delighting us with their singing, The Berridale Belles showing us that dance can

be fun, and something we can all enjoy and Dalgety/ Numbla Vale CWA will cater the morning tea, and also the lunch. If you would like to order lunch at a cost

of $10.00 per person, please call Judy Walters on 64566729. Lunch orders will not be taken after Friday the 6th of May. Tickets for Dalgety Women’s

Day will be on sale from the 26th of March at the following outlets: Cooma Visitors Centre, Berridale Post Office, Iona Café, Dalgety and Snowy Region Visitors Centre, Jindabyne. Tickets will be $15.00, and sales will be limited to four tickets per person. but remember the tickets will be limited and they may sell out quickly.

Opportunity for young filmmakers Young people in the Cooma-Monaro and Snowy River Shire Councils are getting a great opportunity to get into filmmaking courtesy of South East Arts – the regional arts development organisation for SE NSW. As part of their Screen Industry Development Strategy, they have just launched YOOFTube – the region’s short film competition for people aged 12 – 20.

Entries are now open and there are some

amazing surprises and learning opportunities as well.

Kate Howarth, Screen Industry Development Officer at South East Arts says, “YOOFTube is a great opportunity for young people to tell their stories. You can even make a short film on your phone or your tablet, so it’s a really accessible way to show off your creativity.

“In previous years we have had a great range of entries from murder mysteries

and music videos to documentaries, surf films and foreign language films. We hope this year is no exception. There is real scope to use your imagination, work together with your friends and produce something amazing.” said Mrs Howarth Entries don’t close until August and there is an amazing range of prizes due to the generosity of local organisations, businesses and even professional

filmmakers. In most prize categories there is the opportunity to work with a professional filmmaker on an element of filmmaking like editing, sound or cinematography.

Screen NSW supports South East Arts’ Screen Industry Strategy throughout the region and is behind YOOFTube and the development of young regional filmmakers.

South East Arts is running a workshop for iPad and

iPhone filmmaking in Jindabyne on 7 and 8 May and will also be running a workshop at Monaro High School later that week.

All the information you need on YOOFTube, the Jindabyne workshop and examples of previous entries is available at the South East Arts website www.southeastarts. org.au on the YOOFtube Facebook page or contact South East Arts directly on 64920711.

Meeting to hear of patient experiences at Cooma ED

Last Thursday, Cooma Hospital conducted an afternoon meeting where members of the public were able to give hospital staff feedback on their experience at Cooma hospital.

The meeting was convened by the hospital’s health services manager Antje Badger as part of the hospital’s efforts to assess its service delivery.

Mrs Badger said it was important to hear ‘real-time’ feedback on the services provided.

The first person to speak was Dot Veljkovic, whose son Erik attended the ED when he was only a few weeks old.

Dot said she had no idea he was as sick as he was, but Erik ended up travelling to Sydney for treatment after initial treatment at Cooma.

She said his size had created some issues with the available equipment, with breathing tubes too large and issues with the telehealth equipment at the time.

She also had difficulty finding a suitable place for her to express breast milk, as the ED became very busy and there was nowhere private she could use.

However, despite this, Dot said she always felt that the ED staff were always in control of the situation and found that comforting.

Chairman of the local community health

committee, Sue Litchfield also spoke.

She said the hospital’s clinical people “are just fantastic�. “It is an amzing service.�

A member of the Foundation of Care committee, Bob Weston, also spoke. He relayed the tale of a friend who collapsed at his house one January.

He said he was initially treated at Cooma ED before being taken to Canberra where he received stents.

He said he had been resuscitated twice in Cooma before going tio Canberra.

Bob said he had found Cooma hospital experience to be very positive.

A local resident who has been a regular at Cooma Hospital for some years, Terry Pictured at the meeting, Bob Weston, Dot and Erik Veljkovic, Sue Litchfield, Antje Badger and Terry Edwards, said she could be a Edwards. very difficult patient when she She said the staff now treated her in a call form the ED and a recent treatment there. was ill. “If you’re vulnerable you have to rely on She said in the last two to three years, her more friendly manner and she now has more someone else.

Mayor wants a legacy

Proposed long term solution for regional tourism Will Regional Tourism Organisations see 2030? For many years we have witnessed funding models and programs change and challenges with RTO’s, the time is ripe for the discussion to be elevated to a national State Tourism Organisation level, this issue is not going away, reviews, RTO failures are increasing. declares ARTN Chair David Sheldon, “For too long now we have witnessed state governments skirt around the Regional Tourism Organisation issue and prop many up with halfhearted funding programs. Don’t get me wrong there are successful RTO’s, there are very good funding programs, but look at the RTO’s business and funding models. Just perhaps successful RTO’s and Local Tourism Associations may create and provide the solution,� David said.

In 2014 The Australian Regional Tourism Network raised the issue Regional Tourism Organisations at the National ARTN Convention in Port Stephens.

This was followed up with a presentation to the NSW Government during 2015 and became a focal point at the 2015 ARTN Convention in Victor Harbor, South Australia.

The importance of RTO’s was placed on the ARTN’s manifesto for 2015-16 and will be a discussion point at this year’s Convention in Roma 25-27 October. “I believe and there will be robust discussion here, however the primary purpose for Regional Tourism Organisations is to drive the visitation, they should be in the tent so to speak with local tourism operators and local governments, is this the situation of today?“ he said.

Through Deloitte’s the federal government identified tourism as one of the five pillars of growth going into the next decade and this must be channelled down to the state and local governments to provide the resources and funding to support regional tourism. “The Network is looking for a successful outcome, we realise one size does not fit all. The RTO issue is not going away, the stop start approach is no longer the answer we need a long term solution, it is there and it will hurt. There is need for a reality check from all sides,� he said. “We need this done now as we head towards the end of Tourism 2020 and onto planning for 2030.�

Cooma-Monaro mayor, Dean Lynch, has expressed his disappointment with the decision by the Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation (SMEC) to close its Cooma office.

The corporation announced the closure last week. The closure will mean the loss of 12 full-time jobs in Cooma.

Cr Lynch said the decision was unfortunate, but believed SMEC needs to leave a legacy to the Cooma community through the SMEC site.

He said he had contacted SMEC Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Andy Goodwin, to express his disappointment.

SMEC’s Cooma office provides the Company’s payroll and Human Resources (HR) administrative

services. The payroll function will be moving to Melbourne, to join other corporate functions, including; Finance, Human Resources and Marketing. Other HR administrative services will be transferred to SMEC’s Global Shared Services Office, in Manila.

SMEC is exploring opportunities for its Cooma-based employees to pursue new positions within SMEC’s Australian business.

SMEC is committed to supporting employees and providing career counselling and job search assistance.

SMEC would like to continue to support the local community, and is currently looking into various options to continue their support of Cooma, and the broader Snowy Mountains Region.

Jindabyne community supporting a Ride for Bella

The Snowy Mountains Motorcycle Club has organised a charity ride for local three year old, Bella Riehs.

Bella’s mother, Allison caught a virus known as CMV eight weeks into her pregnancy. Cytomegalvirus can infect people of all ages and once it is in a person’s body, it stays there for life. Despite this, the virus presents similar symptoms to the common cold and most healthy adults and children will have no long-term effects from CMV. However, it can be very dangerous for unborn children. Unfortunately for the Riehs family, they have seen the full impact of this virus on their little girl.

Bella was born at 29 weeks and has cerebral palsy,

microcephaly, deafness with cochlear implants and global development delay. She is non-verbal, epileptic, is only able to eat pureed food and rarely sleeps the full night through.

Josh works as an electrician, so Allison is often the one to take Bella to her various therapy and doctors appointments, such as physiotherapy, feeding and speech therapy.

“It’s all about early intervention,” says Allison, “The more work we can do for her before the age of five, the easier it will be for her as she grows up.”

Having to recently go to Adelaide for brain laser therapy treatment, the Riehs family is struggling with the financial burden of the accommodation and treatment costs. The Snowy Mountains Motorcycle Club has got behind the cause and will be hosting a ride in Jindabyne on Saturday 7 May. Registration is 9am at the Town Centre in Jindabyne with the ride starting at 10am.

Tickets will be available to enter draws for the following prizes, generously donated by local businesses: 2 x 2 Adult Day Passes from Thredbo worth $236 each 2 x 1 Adult Day Passes from Perisher worth $120 each 2 x 1 Day Tripper Passes from Charlotte Pass worth $103 1 x 1 $200 Wish card from Woolworths

1 x 1 $160 voucher from Apply First Aid As well as vouchers between $30 and $60 from: Mitre 10 Siesta Villa Lakeside Restaurant Red Door Roastery High Country Outfitters Cocina Mexican Restaurant Banjo Patterson Inn Monchichi Gift Shop Design & Detail Mountain Style

Tickets for the draw are $20, with draws occurring at various locations along the ride. Riders will have the advantage, as you will need to be present at the draw to claim your prize. Finishing at John Conners Oval, the last rider only prizes will be drawn. The Bushpigs will be playing a home game and are also doing some fundraising on the day, with any leftover raffle tickets up for grabs at the game. The rest of the major prizes will be drawn just before first grade kick off and will be open to everyone. All riders who have not won a prize will still be in the draw and there will be no need to be present to claim these prizes.

To pre-register for the ride, email ride4bella@gmail.com with your details and registration number.

You can also donate to Bella’s cause by visiting Red Door in Jindabyne where there is a donation bucket, or by visiting www.gofundme.com/bellariehs.

Hearing loss meeting in Bombala Members of the Bombala community are invited to attend a special meeting dealing with hearing loss.

If you or a member of your family experience a problem in: Talking on the phone Listening to the TV (especially with a second listener) Your partner or friends getting upset because they have to repeat things two or three times; Difficulty shopping (asking for help); Feeling uncomfortable wearing hearing aids; becoming withdrawn because of any of the above, Help and advise is available at the meeting at Bombala Community Centre, Maybe Street, Bombala at 10am on Wednesday May 11.

Enjoy morning tea and a discussion with a mentor

from the Cochclear Awareness Network which is based in Macquarie University.

For further information on the event please phone 6456 5312 or email Elaine@snowy.net.au In Australia, it is estimated that just over 20 percent of the adult population suffer from hearing loss and that this number exceeds 50 percent for those over 65 years of age.

In children, hearing loss impairs speech and language development, which in turn undermines academic achievement.

In adults it has a negative impact on employment opportunities and social functions. It can cause social isolation that develop into depression and early-onset dementia

Roaring from the Bombala Lions Den

The Bombala Lions Club enjoyed an excursion to the Quidong property last Sunday.

Excursion The Bombala Lions Club had an enjoyable excursion out to Quidong last Sunday to check out the old mines, and we wish to thank the Stevenson family for allowing us through their property.

Sculptures The rifle and sunrise sculptures at Gunnago Park have now been completed.

All that remains is for local property brands to be used to brand the timber pieces of both the sunrise and lightning strike sculptures.

We have a number of brands from local properties, but anyone who has any old brands that they would like to see used on the sculptures can leave them at Landmark Bombala.

Lions would like to receive any suggestions from the community on how we can add to these sculptures to create more interest around the River Walk.

Next up Our next project is to build the access from the Caravan Park to the River Walk.

The rifle sculpture at Gunnago Park has now been completed.

Rainbow Pines cut the ribbon

The amenities block was officially opened by John Flarrety from the Department of Lands. He is pictured with Joe Vescio, former managers Jan and Paddy Kerrigan,and Rick Martin and Kerry Parrot.

Construction of the new amenities block at Rainbow Pines Caravan Park in Old Adaminaby has been completed and the facility was officially opened last week.

The old amenities block was over 50 years old and in poor condition meaning the new block will be a major draw card to the park.

The new block features a disabled access toilet that has a bath, shower, toilet and baby changing facilities, as well as a laundry room and drying room.

Construction was funded thanks to a contribution

from crown reserve funds with over $650,000 being put towards the project.

The Snowy River Shire Council and the park managers Rick Martin and Kerry Parrot believe that the new facility will improve tourism to the park and benefit the entire Snowy Mountains tourism industry as a whole.

Rick thanked the Snowy River Shire Council, particularly Lyn Bottrill, for their tireless efforts in assisting with funding and said he is already looking forward to future projects.

A Men’s Shed for Tubbut

A community meeting at Tubbut on Sunday April 24th showed there is a great interest in setting up a Men’s Shed in the Tubbut district.

Lindsay Oates of the Victorian Men’s Shed Association travelled to our meeting and told us of the many advantages of a Men’s Shed for men and other community members. In Victoria, Men’s Sheds are funded by Department of Health and Human Services in recognition of the mental health needs of men in all our communities.

While Sheds are open to women, it is men who manage the Shed and set the rules.

The Tubbut Neighbourhood House will auspice the shed and assist with preparation of the grant submission.

“A Men’s Shed has great potential in our area where men are isolated from services and from each other,” said coordinator Deb Foskey.

“It’s a great way of sharing skills and making things to improve our public spaces. One project already planned is to make picnic tables for our camping areas.

Lindsay wrote in his report: “It is a credit to this community that they have 18 men who have indicated in writing a keen interest in participating in the Community Shed; they come

from Deddick, Goongerah, Bonang, Tubbut, and one from as far as WTree. There are also about eight women who are keen to take on light metal work, elementary woodwork and also learn wood turning and small box making for jewellery. The men and women in this community are most enthusiastic about having a community Shed project. This is a community that also finds change a challenge. The men like the idea of a community shed as many of them wish to learn cooking skills from the women and other home craft skills. The men wish to also pass on their farming skills to these women and the young people at the Primary School. They also see the Community Shed as a great opportunity for social interaction which will benefit their health and well being.”

“Now begins the hard work of preparing a successful grant application and setting up a working group to oversee the development of the shed. Wish us luck,” said Greg Tantram, Tubbut Men’s Shed convenor.

“If we get the Tubbut shed up and running, we have a good basis to extend to Bonang, Goongerah and other areas in a multi-campus approach where equipment is shared,” said Greg.

Australian author visits Cooma

SIR WILLIAM HUDSON

MEMORIAL CENTRE AGED CARE FACILITY

Sir William Hudson Memorial Centre held a very well attended remembrance ceremony on Anzac Day. The residents and some of the families had provided historic images from their own albums which were used throughout the home and as a backdrop to the official party. Winston Phillips, Chairman of the Board of Directors, performed the official ceremony, with readings from Nancy and Trish. We were also very fortunate to have a catafalque party from the 5th Regiment Army Reserves located at HMAS Harman in the ACT, attend the ceremony. After the official ceremony the coffee shop made complimentary hot drinks for everyone to enjoy with the homemade Anzac biscuits fresh from the kitchen.

This weekend we will be celebrating Mother’s Day, and will be having a lovely lunch prepared by Greg. If you wish to join us for lunch at SWHMC names need to be given to Tabitha at reception by Thursday morning to allow for catering purposes. Greg and his wonderful team always out do themselves for our important lunches and our residents would love you to be able to spend the day with them. The nursing home is shouting the cost for the first family/friend for each resident, although a fee will be charged for all the additional family members who attend.

Australian author Mark Henshaw gave a talk at the Cooma Library last week.

Award winning Australian author Mark Henshaw visited the Cooma Library last Wednesday. On tour for his latest book, The Snow Kimono, Mr Henshaw gave a talk at the library about his book, his life and his methods as a writer.

A small crowd attended the talk, for an intimate discussion about his work and writing in general.

The Snow Kimono was an idea that came to Mr Henshaw more than 20 years ago.

“I put the idea, the little kernel, in a box in my mind. Every now and then I would open the box and just check it was still alive,” he said, “I decided that I would write the book before I was 60. I was working as a curator at a gallery and when I realised that I would be turning 60 later that year. It sort of ate away at me then, and I decided to leave a few months before my birthday to write the Snow Kimono which I had originally called A Time of Melancholy.”

Mr Henshaw described his novel as being about three older men looking back on their complicated lives, the central character being a Parisian inspector of police who has just retired.

The book won the 2015 NSW Premier’s Literary Award and the 2015 ACT Book of the Year Award.

Discussing the way he writes, Mr Henshaw said

that he does not let himself become obsessed with the process.

“I love my desk,” he said, “It is the only place were I know I’m going to get something done. I have discovered over the years that it is not in the fridge or out in the garden.”

“I sit at my desk from 9am to 1pm, and then I stop. Even if I am making real progress, I just make some notes for myself for the next day and completely stop thinking about it until the morning.”

“Writing is all about life, but it is not everything about life,” he said, stressing that spending time with your family, friends and other interests is very important.

Recalling a remark from one of his friends that he had not retired, but just rewired, Mr Henshaw said he identified with that feeling.

“I have learnt to not be self critical anymore,” he said, “If I sit down at my desk and nothing happens, it means your subconscious is still working at it, and it might not pay off until a few days later.”

Mr Henshaw published his first novel, Out of the Line of Fire, in 1998. A bestseller, this book won the FAW Barbara Ramsden Award and the NBC New Writers Award.

Are you prepared for a bush fire?

Last Friday we were entertained by the band Brite Notes who visited our home and played music for our residents. The afternoon was made even more enjoyable by the wonderful afternoon tea provided by the catholic ladies. We are so lucky to have such wonderful people within our community.

Providing bush fire preparation services for the elderly and disabled, the AIDER Program is run by Rural Fire Services (RFS) and NSW Fire and Rescue.

By getting in touch with either RFS or NSW Fire and Rescue, an assessment of your property will be completed with advice given regarding a Bush Fire Survival Plan.

AIDER (Assistance for Infirm, Disabled and Elderly Residents) provides a one off free service available to aged residents and residents with disabling conditions who have limited domestic support from family, friends or other services.

RFS and NSW Fire and Rescue staff will attend the property and carry out services to get your home bush fire ready. Some of these services include

thinning vegetation, removing leaves, sticks and fallen branches, trimming branches from around and overhanging the home, mowing or slashing long grass and cleaning gutters.

Monaro RFS Fire Mitigation Officer Fred Nichols says that this service is about protecting the firemen as well as resident’s properties.

“Preparing your home for bush fires is so important,” he says, “By using the AIDER Program you are helping us to help you.”

“If you, a family member or a neighbour needs this service, get in touch. You can even organise the service through Community Health.”

Simply call (02) 8741 4955 to request an assessment of your property.

More action on wild dogs announced

During April Sir William Hudson Memorial Centre welcomed 3 new residents and sadly said farewell to Gordon McIntosh, Barrymore Mackay and John Roach.

8 Fachin Ave, Cooma | Ph: 6452 3588

A major on-ground offensive against wild dogs will take place across the Monaro during this autumn season, providing great relief to local livestock producers across the region, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro announced.

“Wild dogs are a significant issue for many of our farmers in our region causing more than $11 million worth of damage to the state’s primary industries sector every year,” Mr Barilaro said. “The costs associated with wild dog attacks are not only confined to losses from livestock deaths. Injured livestock also require treatment and supervision leading to further costs for farmers.

“In order to combat the devastating impact that wild dogs have the NSW Government has put in place a comprehensive program to support around

3000 properties across the state.

“The program will include laying more than 228,000 ground baits over 12 million hectares of land, spreading more than 7,200 kilometres of aerial baits and conducting around 100 training courses for landholders across the state.

“This year, dog movements will also be tracked using GPS collars as part of a research project in the Tumut and Tumbarumba districts. This project will help improve the effectiveness of future baiting and trapping activities.

“I know local farmers will be glad to see we are taking this issue seriously. This comprehensive package provides them with the tools they need to protect their properties and livestock.”

Berridale women walking the world Forty people took part in the Women Walk the World event. Hosted for the first time by Berridale’s CWA, the event was a great success. Participants walked for varying distances depending on their ability, with the longest being 3km.

The event is an initiative of the Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW).

The aim of the event is to have women walking in all parts of the world during the 24 hours of April 29.

By raising awareness and money for the ACWW, they are able to continue their work across the world.

Supporting small projects all over the globe, ACWW work to improve the quality of life for all women.

Particular concerns are the relief of poverty, relief of sickness and the protection and preservation of health and advancement of education.

The ACWW is based in London and the CWA is a member of the organisation.

Following the walk, Berridale CWA provided a morning tea with plenty of scones for the participants who were able to make their donations at the CWA hall on Myack Street.

Local ladies enjoying the fresh air last week for the CWA event.

Yep, it’s that time of year again! All across the region there will be locals hosting Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea events to raise vital funds for the Cancer Council.

In Bombala they’re preparing to get all “Mad Hatter’s Tea Party” on us, with this crazy theme being embraced all morning at the Bombala Community Centre.

The central focus will of course be the Biggest Morning Tea itself, with the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party kicking off from 10am till 12 noon, complete with the “Alice in Wonderland” movie playing in the background.

The Wiggling Whippersnappers will get in on the fun between 10.30 and 11am, listening to the beloved story of Alice, and of course enjoying the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party themselves.

Along with all of the treats and decorations that you would expect at the Mad Hatter’s table, there will also be a photo booth on hand with lots of silly props adding to the fun of the day.

And while we’re all looking forward to a madcap get together, let’s not forget that its all for a very good cause.

The Biggest Morning Tea is one of Cancer Council’s leading annual fundraising events. Now in its 23rd year, the official event date is Thursday, May 26, but morning tea fundraisers can be hosted any time throughout May and June - just like they’re doing on May 18 in Bombala!

It is estimated that 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85. Sharing a social cup of tea and some delicious food, while fundraising, is a simple and fun way to help support the work of Cancer Council.

This year, Cancer Council is aiming to raise $13.8 million in donations, with every small contribution assisting: • $5 – helps Cancer Council reach out to a newly diagnosed cancer patient, with support and information resources to help them navigate their cancer journey.

• $25 – fund resources to support GPs and health professionals advising patients on cancer prevention, screening and diagnosis.

• $50 – ensures a cancer nurse is available on our free, confidential telephone service (13 11 20) to offer support on all aspects of cancer.

• $100 – allows Cancer Council to support childcare centres and primary schools taking part in the National SunSmart Schools Program.

• $500 – helps fund the provision of a telephone and web-based support group facilitated by trained peer volunteers and health professionals.

• $1000 – contributes to our ground breaking research into new and better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.

Bin audits conducted across the Snowy River Shire In March and April 2016 Council’s Waste Department conducted random audits on recycling and waste bins across the Snowy River Shire.

The 2016 audit concentrated on quantitative data of the components in the 360L recycling bin and the 240L waste bin.

Each random bin was weighed and contents sorted into type (general waste, recyclables by type, hazardous waste, garden waste and food waste).

The results will be published on Council’s website and the data collected will be used to tailor education campaigns to tackle issues identified, to plan for future collection variation and the viability of introducing Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO) collection. “By having accurate data of what is present in the waste and recycling bins across the entire shire during a holiday period, we

can plan education initiatives to effectively look at diverting waste from landfill, preventing hazardous material from being landfilled and increasing recycling, all of which will prolong the lifespan of our regional waste facilities. It also gives evidence as to whether a year round organics collection is valid�, explained General Manager, Joseph Vescio.

Data collected from the recycling bin audit showed an average contamination rate of 10%. This is a great result showing Snowy River Shire residents are good at recycling, however, it’s an increase from the average contamination rate recorded at the last audit so there is room for improvement and still work to be done with regards to education. “We wish to thank the residents of the Snowy River Shire for their support in this annual audit and hope that there was very little inconvenience caused�, Mr Vescio said.

A passion for brumbies leads to a new job

Michelle of Michelle J Photography is available for your photography needs.

There’s a new photographer in town.

Michelle Jenkins has lived in Cooma for the past four years. Her day job is working in childcare in Canberra, but Michelle has found a passion in her hobby.

Really only picking up the camera about 12 months ago, one that her father left behind after a visit, Michelle is fairly new to the photography game.

Although she is still learning the finer points, Michelle has a natural eye for capturing beauty around her.

One of those beauties is her other passion, Snowy Mountain brumbies.

An active member of the Snowy Mountains Brumby Sustainability and Management Group (SMBSMG), Michelle has been encouraged by her brumby peers to pursue her photography. “Quite a lot of the brumby photos on the SMBSMG’s Facebook page are mine,� she says, “I’ve had quite a few people say that I should do something with them.�

Passionate about the cause of the SMBSMG, Michelle says it is an incredible experience to photograph the Snowy brumbies. “They are really beautiful and curious creatures. Once they understand that you are just there to take photos

and aren’t there to hurt them, they become very calm and comfortable.

Anyone that has a passion for wildlife photography should capture these animals in their natural habitat,� she says, “Although I should say that it is very important to always go with someone when you are photographing them. Sometimes when you are busy looking through your camera, you can become unaware of what else is happening around you, and they are wild animals after all.�

Wildlife and landscapes are Michelle’s forte, but she wants to expand more into portraits. Eventually she would like to cover events for people, but she is happy to offer her services for family portraits, including pets, at the moment. “I just would like all the practise I can get,� says Michelle, “I am seeing how much of a difference a little bit of editing can do, and I’m honing my manual focusing skills. I want to see where my photography will take me.

You have to love what you do, and I think that to be able to capture an image in time is priceless.�

To get in touch with Michelle, call 0455 554 611 or check out her Facebook page, Michelle J Photography.

Zoe Joseph brings healing to Bombala BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ms Ngaire McCrindle Autumn is certainly a beautiful time on the Southern Monaro and this year the weather has been particularly good. Visitors have been wowed by the natural beauty of the area and even the platypus are putting on regular appearances much to the delight of the international visitors.

The parks and gardens all look neat thanks to the hard work of the parks and gardens crew.

The weather has also enabled our road crews to stay well on top of maintenance and capital works which has pleased not only the locals but also the increased number of visitors to the area.

Work is continuing with the surrounding Councils to identify ways to improve service delivery as we await the State Government announcements on the voluntary and in our case forced merger if Council’s conditions are not met. We sincerely trust that the Government will take notice of community sentiment in making these decisions and not leave Councils and communities in this state of uncertainty.

Council’s draft Operational Plan and Budget for 2016-17 are now in the final stages of development following a Council workshop last week. These plans look at the next 12 months and Council will be holding an Extra Ordinary Council meeting on May 11 to approve them for public exhibition.

www.monaropost.com.au

The ladies of the Bombala area warmly embraced the Self awareness, Healing and Empowerment Night presented by Zoe Joseph last Wednesday evening, with a crowd of 30 women coming together to learn about Cre8ting More.

A Bombala local, Zoe is bringing her SHE Nights to Bombala, Cooma and Merimbula to help other women welcome more joy, peace, balance, passion, support and love into their everyday lives.

A ThetaHealer and Holistic Coach, Zoe was delighted with the incredible response she received at the Bombala gathering.

“It was just a fantastic night,” Zoe said. “I haven’t done this at home in front of family and friends before, and it was wonderful to get such positive feedback, with all of the ladies really loving the session.”

This could clearly be seen in the comments made after the event, with social media being full of praise for Bombala’s SHE Night.

Zoe Joseph (far left) was delighted with the response to her first “Congratulations and a huge thank you for tonight’s forum. It was very insightful and SHE Night in Bombala last Wednesday, and the many donations inspirational. Your words of wisdom help give people to the “Share the Dignity” cause. the driving edge to take control of their lives. Keep up your passion and inspirational ways,” said Sarah of them, or even just one that resonates with them anywhere in the Cottrell.

Penny Campbell also offered her congratulations, adding “such schedule.

“After spending years working through my own insecurities and a down to earth, humorous speaker who had everyone enthused from beginning to end. Looking forward to attending the next one.” supporting hundreds of other women to do the same through my And there won’t be long to wait! With such glowing feedback consultations and courses, the topics that I will cover will relate flowing in, and interest coming from those who couldn’t make it, to the way we women think, act and react to certain situations in life, giving knowledge and tools to support them through everyday Zoe plans to hold another SHE Night in Bombala on May 18.

“This will be another introductory night that will go over the happenings,” Zoe said.

She is also very excited to use the nights as an opportunity to whole concept and how it works,” Zoe says. “This time we will spend a little longer though, around an hour and a half, as one of give back. The first SHE Night saw participants donating sanitary the things that the ladies told me on Wednesday night was that products to support “Share the Dignity”, helping homeless women or women of little means through their period. our session was too short!”

Generous donations came from the women who attended the Following the May 18 night, Zoe basically plans to run eight sessions, each on a different topic. These sessions will be monthly, night, as well as many others, and Zoe was amazed and grateful and women can choose to come along to all of them, a selection for the support shown.

“Each month, or second month, we’ll change the cause so that participants can support different local charities or groups in need,” Zoe said.

And with giving back being such an important part of Cre8ting More, Zoe has also been in touch with many local community service groups to see how they can be assisted through the SHE Nights.

“Many of our local groups are really in desperate need of volunteers, so I hope to get together a list of groups and what they need help with, really raising awareness of the need for local volunteers,” Zoe said. “This gives the women taking part even more opportunity give back and support the community if they choose.”

So if you’re ready to dismiss some of the negativity in your life, and not only make positive change in yourself but in the wider community as well, make sure you come along to the next SHE Night at the Bombala RSL Club on May 18.

And, Cooma ladies, you’ll have your chance to get together and support each other and your community as well, with a SHE Night With around 30 women in attendance to learn more about Self coming up in Cooma on May 25.

Jindabyne CWA host a delicious ANZAC morning tea of sandwiches and assemble the loads of cakes, slices (and let’s not forget the lamingtons) to take to the hall once the Jindabyne Lions have finished serving their post Dawn Service breakfast.

Then two stalwarts of the CWA Men’s Auxiliary, being Brian Phillips and Gordon Aiton, swing into action and set up the tables and chairs. In the meanwhile, Lorraine Phillips’s catering team get to work in the kitchen. By 10.30am all is ready, the doors open and the crowds pour in. The cost of entry is a modest gold coin donation all of which goes to the Snowy River sub branch of the RSL. Much of the food is donated by members of the Jindabyne CWA but substantial donations were made by Woolworths, Sundance Bakery and Sugars for which the CWA were most grateful.

In the glorious autumn sunshine Carole Morris and Rosemary StewartBeardsley represented the Jindabyne CWA in the Anzac Day march carrying the CWA wreath which they laid beside the memorial plaques in Banjo Patterson Park. While they enjoyed being part of the big march and Anzac Day service, other members were hard at work in the Jindabyne Memorial Hall.

It has become a tradition that the CWA prepare and serve morning tea to all of those who attend the Anzac Day main service in Jindabyne (including the two members who were so noticeably absent!). It has become a very popular event to which people flock for their fill of the famous CWA scones!

From 7.30 am a team of sandwich makers gather to make trays and trays

Having to endure a pregnancy plagued with Hyperemesis is awful. I had it when pregnant with the twins and for those in the dark about this condition it is extreme 24/7 morning sickness for the entire duration of the pregnancy which means being unable to keep anything down, leading to severe dehydration which can result in organs breakdown and it used to be fatal until the medical profession became more aware of it and how to counter it.

Right now, Daughter is pregnant and unfortunately she has the above. This is so awful as one of the other issues with this condition is that it makes everything smell/ taste really off which then makes you throw up violently, really violently, and it’s not just food and household things either that can set you fleeing for the bathroom. It can be the weirdest things. Like Son-in-law! The poor guy will probably be as relieved as Daughter (and me!) when their baby is born because right now he can’t eat a lot of things that he really likes because the smell of them sets Daughter off. He is also trying to find a toothpaste and mouthwash that doesn’t send her dashing to the toilet bowl. Ditto his deodorant, bacon and egg rolls, and sometimes even just him and we are talking a good looking guy here who’s as clean as a whistle!

My brand of fabric softener can do it too, as can some of my cooking and/or a particular type of biscuit and Glen 20. So I’m with Sonin-law…may the next 16 weeks fly by. I say 16

weeks because the obstetrician is talking about inducing Daughter at 37 weeks because of the Hyperemesis. But I’m a lot more fortunate than Son-in-law because I’m not living in the same house, let alone sharing the same bed and having to deal with those occasions where everything about me is weirdly repellent to Daughter! Unlike poor Son-in-law! Fortunately, he is the understanding type and as he has attended the various medical appointments he is well and truly versed on what is going on.

Come to think of it, he is probably counting down those weeks far more fervently than me.

Poor guy.

But it’s not all doom and gloom because despite the above, all the scans show that Grandbaby is well. Also very active, really chubby and developing nicely and normally and we can’t ask for more than that. Well, maybe we could ask that the next 16 weeks might go more easily on Daughter but she’s hanging in there, as we all are, but like I said, may the time fly so that Daughter can feel normal again instead of constantly sick! That would be nice.

And, of course, there’s the setting up and getting everything ready for Grandbaby’s arrival and that is always fun, no matter how sick you’re feeling. I’m having a great time looking at baby things! There is so much adorable stuff out there and now I have a good excuse to hover over it! Actually, there’s a couple of wonderful shops in my local village that have the most gorgeous things for babies and toddlers!

Just 16 more weeks.

The Baird Government sure knows how to get voters offside.

First, there is the protracted mumbo-jumbo about councils being Fit for the Future and resultant forced mergers; now there is the draft wild horse management plan for Kosi.

The response from the community so far has been one of shock and dismay.

Taking out 90 percent (if indeed there are that many horses in the park) is a radical suggestion.

Allowing the shooting of horses in the park, when the shooting of feral pigs, goats, deers, rabbits, etc is banned, is just inexplicable. Especially when there are so many feral pigs, goats, deer, rabbits, etc, in the park.

The Postman was amused to see a media release from the police media department this week, alerting media to a man missing near THREADBOW. Not too sure where Threadbow is, but another, verbal, report said the missing man was trying to photograph the aurora borealis.

Which would explain why he might need to climb a mountain…if he was to see something which occurs in the Northern Hemisphere. Aurora Australis, perhaps?

SMALL BUSINESS CHAMPION AWARDS

Supporting education Editor, With a federal election looming, I am sure there will be many statements made around the subject of education and its importance in the “transition to a technolgical economy”.

Indeed we are constantly reminded that this is the “most exciting time ever to be living in Australia”. Surely crucial to these sorts of comments is a committment to support and properly fund our education systems, in particular the public sector which carries far and away the greater burden of providing for the disadvantaged in our community. To suggest that the federal government withdraw funding for the public sector is outrageous.

More importantly it is essential that any debate around costs and funding be honest and not attempt to deceive.

I note that our local state member needs to be far more careful in this area than has been demonstrated of late.

He released and promoted a report on TAFE NSW, compiled by the Boston Consulting Group, which labels TAFE as ‘inefficient’ and ‘uncompetitive’ when compared with private providers. The report names only NAVITAS and Australian Careers Network as the private providers

compared. The Australian Careers Network was raided by the ACCC after 16000 students were defrauded and the ACCC went on to launch action against the A C Network in an attempt to recover $100 million in taxpayer funding. To be fair Mr Barilaro did distance himself from the report when informed of the problems around A C Network. However he, or a minion, should have checked first.

As a former TAFE teacher over many years, and Principal for a short while, I had first hand knowledge of the ‘shonky’ practices of some private providers. Some even went so far as to issue certificates of competency to students who had not even attended the relevant short course, just to claim more taxpayer funding! TAFE NSW has a long and proud history of providing quality education and training.

The provision of such education is expensive but this should be seen as an investment and not a cost. Shoddy and shonky education can be likened to shoddy and shonky tools, they may look bright and shiny but their lack of quality will always disappoint.

Hendy opposes mergers Editor, Earlier this month I wrote to the NSW Government outlining serious concerns about the proposed merger of the Cooma-Monaro, Bombala, and Snowy River councils.

I have always maintained that community representation, community support, and a strong business case are vital conditions for any council merger.

On the Monaro, and with specific regard to some our smaller communities, we need to ensure that any decision provides for local service and infrastructure delivery, and continues to provide strong local community representation.

A strong business case has failed to materialise, and as such I cannot support this merger proposal.

As the Federal Member for EdenMonaro, I work daily with our local councils to deliver for our communities – local councils that are connected to their communities are vital partners of Federal Government investment in our region.

Together with my opposition to merger of Tumut and Tumbarumba, and Palerang with Queanbeyan, I am opposed to forced council mergers in our region and will continue to advocate strongly for our communities.

I have written – repeatedly – to the NSW Government on this issue, and will continue to do so. The case for a council merger does not add up.

A stand out family home

Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac position, this spacious family home just four years old will grab your attention. Beautifully designed for family living this magnificent home offers excellent space both inside and out for those who need it! With 1152 sqm of fully landscaped land there is nothing more to do or spend, just move in and enjoy!

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

Autumn is here!

Here we are now into the next season, which means the year is slowly passing us by once more. Summer is officially over, and winter looms closer.

So far this year, interest rates have remained stable, and while some Lenders increased their variable rates at the end of last year, there are some very low fixed rates available.

There has been some reduction of fixed rates, and now could be the time to consider locking your loan in to take advantage. Fixed loans won’t suit everyone’s circumstance, but I can help you determine if it is the best course for you.

Whether you want to review an existing loan, or looking at taking out a new loan, it can pay to look at the different options, and compare. I have access to the current rates & offers with many Lenders.

With flexible appointment times, and with access to many different Lenders, I can take the hard work & stress out of the process for you.

With a range of referral partners in place, I am also happy to be your first contact for other financial areas – i.e. business finance, or financial planning.

Whatever your financial needs, I can point you in the right direction.

Please phone me for a free consultation now, on mobile 0431 351 873

Many Australians celebrate Mother’s Day by showing their appreciation for the achievements and efforts of mothers and mother figures. It is annually observed in Australia on the second Sunday of May. Many Australians celebrate Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May. What Do People Do? Many people appreciate their mothers or mother figures, which include stepmothers, relatives, guardians (eg. foster mothers), and close family friends. Some organisations have Mother’s Day patrons who work together with the media and general community to raise awareness on Mother’s Day events that aim to raise funds for charitable or non-profit causes.

Mother’s Day events and activities may include: Organised walks or runs to raise money for causes such as breast cancer research.

Visits to the zoo, movies, or botanical gardens, or other places of interest.

Breakfasts, brunches, lunches, afternoon teas or dinners at restaurants, cafes, or at home.

Handmade gifts or cards being presented to mothers or mother figures.

Flowers, chocolates, clothing, gift vouchers and other gifts that are given to mothers or mother figures.

Mother’s Day poems being printed, broadcast, or presented to mothers and mother figures.

Mother’s Day stories being publicised in magazines, newspapers, radio, television or the internet.

Many families may also spend the day having a picnic in the park

or the beach on Mother’s Day, if the weather allows it. Father’s Day is also celebrated in Australia on the first Sunday of September to honor fathers and father figures.

Public Life Mother’s Day is not a federal holiday but it is on a Sunday, when many organisations, schools, and government offices are closed. Public transport systems run to their normal Sunday schedules and restaurants or cafes may be busier than usual as some people take their mothers out for a treat. Shops and department stores may also be busy in areas where there is Sunday trading.

Background Many Australians follow the Mother’s Day traditions that stem from observances in countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. The Mother’s Day date in Australia is the same as the date observed in the United States, which is the second Sunday of May each year. However, it is an Australian who is credited with having started the tradition of giving gifts on Mother’s Day: Janet Heyden, a resident of Leichhardt Sydney, started a campaign in 1924 to collect gifts for lonely aged mothers.

Symbols Flowers, chocolates, and cards are popular gifts to symbolize one’s love and appreciation for their mother or mother figure. The carnation is a type of flower that is particularly symbolic of Mother’s Day for some people.

Its importance as a Mother’s Day symbol is linked to Anna Jarvis, who is believed to have sent white carnations for a Mother’s Day service in West Virginia, in the United States, on May 10, 1908.

8th May

Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Classic on in Jindabyne The Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Classic is a walk/run for breast cancer research that will take place on Sunday May 8 in Jindabyne at the Claypits Stage.

The Snowy Mountains Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Classic is in its 3rd year and this year promises to build on the success of the previous years. The 5K run will commence at 9.30 followed by the 3K walk at 10am.

The MDC is a great way to honour those affected by breast cancer and to support research into the disease and has grown into Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest breast cancer fundraiser involving more than 130,000 participants around the nation, raising money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Increasingly, the colourful event has

become a way for groups of families and friends to participate in a healthy, fun activity to kick off their Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Classic is not about breaking speed records. Our focus is on participation, whether you walk, run or volunteer. Many people have fun dressing up: youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see everything from pink pirates to teams in tutus.

It is also about fundraising, and this year we have set a new target to provide $4 million for the National Breast Cancer Foundation to fund life-changing breast cancer research.

The Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Classic will be held in more than 100 locations, from capital cities to remote towns, all around Australia.

Registrations are open online at http://www. mothersdayclassic.com.au/register/

Registrations will also be available on the day, but we suggest that you register online to avoid the queues.

We have some fantastic entertainment lined up for the day including; live music, inflatable fun for the kids, market stalls, food stalls, free photo booth from Snowy Event Hire (weather permitting), lots of prizes including best outfit and highest fundraiser, 100 gift bags for the first 100 on line registrations, massage, face painting, tribute wall and more!

Winter Warming 2016 Winter fire safety checklist Are you fire safe in the home?

The fire services recommend this simple safety checklist to assist in keeping your home fire safe.

• Installing an adequate number of suitable smoke alarms and testing them regularly is the first step in your home fire safety plan.

• Having a written escape plan in case of fire and practicing it regularly.

• Make sure keys to all locked doors are readily accessible in case you need to escape.

• Never leave cooking or any other open flame including candles or oil burners unattended.

• Clean the lint filter of your clothes dryer each and every time you use it.

• Never smoke in bed and take extra care if consuming alcohol whilst smoking.

• In Winter take extra care when using heaters, electric blankets or open fires.

• Don’t overload power points and switch off appliances when not in use.

• Always keep lighters and matches away from children and educate them that they are “tools not toys” to only be used by responsible adults.

• If you have a garage or shed remember to take

•

•

extra care with any stored chemicals and fuels and nd d always refuel mowers, edgers etc when they are cold and in the open.

If you have a gas, electric or wood BBQ always check that it is in safe working order before lighting ng and that it is always in the care of a responsible adult when in use.

If you live in a bushfire prone area keep the ground nd d around your home clear of leaves and other litter and remember to clean your gutters regularly.

Fire safety tips • Remember that smoke from a fire will make you confused and that you cannot see in smoke.

• When asleep you will not smell smoke and it will in n fact put you into a deeper sleep.

• If you have escaped from a home fire, rememberr once you get out stay out and dial Triple Zero (000).

00).

• Oil, gas or wood heating units may require a yearly rly maintenance check.

• Only ever use fuses of recommended rating and install an electrical safety switch.

When did you last check your smoke alarms?

Fact All NSW residents must have at least one working smoke alarm (sometimes mistakenly referred to as “smoke detectors”) installed on each level of their home. This includes owner occupied, rental properties, relocatable homes or any other residential building where people sleep.

Smoke alarms are life-saving devices that provide benefits for occupants. They detect smoke well before any sleeping occupant would and provide critical seconds to implement actions to save life and property.

Smoke alarms are designed to detect fire smoke and emit a loud and distinctive sound to alert occupants of potential danger.

The Building Legislation Amendment (Smoke Alarms) Act 2005 and the Environmental Planning and

Assessment Amendment (Smoke Alarms) Regulation 2006 commenced in NSW on the 1st of May, 2006.

The Legislation refers to residential accommodation across NSW and requires the installation of one or more smoke alarms in buildings in which people sleep, smoke alarms installed in such buildings must be operational, and people must not remove or interfere with the operation of smoke alarms installed in such buildings. A person who does not comply with the legislation is guilty of an offence (maximum penalty $550).

These types of residential accommodation require smoke alarms; detached houses, terrace houses, town houses, villa units (Class 1a buildings), apartments, home units, flats (Class 2 buildings) caretakers flats, single residences above shops (Class 4 parts of buildings),relocatable homes, eg manufactured homes and moveable dwellings,campervans, caravans but not tents or

soft sided camper trailers.

Shared accommodation installation is also mandatory in small boarding houses, guest houses, hostels; backpackers accommodation; bed and breakfast accommodation (Class 1b buildings), large boarding houses, guest houses, hostels, backpacker accommodation; residential parts of hotels, motels, schools, health care buildings, detention centres; certain residential accommodation for the aged, children and people with disabilities (Class 3 buildings) and hospitals and nursing homes (Class 9a health care buildings).

If you answered yes to any of the above, then the new laws apply to you and you must have a minimum of one working smoke alarm on each level of your building.

Any alarms installed after 1 May 2006 must comply with AS3786.

Winter Warming 2016 Cut your costs with insulation If you have called the Monaro region home for a while now, you will understand that every year the cost of heating your home can be quite significant.

The role of insulation is to act as a barrier to heat loss and heat gain, most often in roofs and ceilings, walls and floors.

Insulation can be the most practical and cost effective way to make a house more energy efficient; it can help to keep it cool in summer and warm in winter.

It is possible to save up to 40% in heating and cooling bills; it may even reduce condensation in the home.

Not only will your back pocket thank you if you install good quality insulation, your health will also benefit, as mould and damp is reduced.

If you have a heater or cooler but have ineffective insulation, half the energy you are using could simply be leaking out of your home.

As well as the monetary benefits good insulation brings, you are also helping to protect the environment and reduce greenhouse gasses by lowering your energy consumption.

There is a range of insulation products available in Australia. When deciding what type of insulation is appropriate for your home you should seek assistance from an appropriately qualified insulation installer or builder.

There are two main types of insulation: â&#x20AC;˘ Bulk insulation acts as a barrier to heat flow between your home and the outside, keeping heat out of your home in summer and in your home in winter. It comes in batts, rolls, boards and can be made from materials like glass wool, polyester, natural wool or recycled paper. Bulk insulation is usually used in homes located in cooler climates. â&#x20AC;˘ Reflective insulation is generally used to keep your home cool in summer by deflecting radiant heat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually shiny aluminium foil laminated onto paper or plastic.

Reflective insulation is usually used in homes located in hot and very sunny climates.

Some insulation products combine features of both bulk and reflective insulation.

What type of insulation is best for you will depend on the climate where you live and whether you need to keep heat in, or out, or both. Your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design, the material itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made from and its orientation to north are also

factors.

Ceiling insulation is particularly important as the highest proportion of heat transfer occurs through the roof and ceiling, but there are other areas of your home that can be insulated as well. To maximise the efficiency of your insulation, draught-proof your home to reduce heated or cooled air leaking from cracks and gaps around windows and doors.

Roofs and ceilings If your roof or ceiling isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t insulated, you could lose up to 45 percent of your heating and cooling energy via the roof. Verandah roofs should be insulated in hot climates to reduce heat from the sun, as this not only affects the space below, but also the temperature inside the house. Covered verandahs and garages might benefit from insulation if you spend a lot of time in these areas, especially if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heating or cooling them.

Walls Wall insulation can save up to an additional 20 per cent of heating and cooling energy.

Consider added wall insulation as an essential in all climates. Exceptions to this would be homes constructed from straw bale (and to a lesser extent autoclaved aerated concreteâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; AAC). If wall insulation is not already fitted, or if your existing insulation is insufficient, it can be retrofitted. Speak to your installer about the correct product for your particular home and location.

Floors Appropriate floor insulation can save up to 5 per cent of your winter energy costs. Carpets are one option to insulate a floor. In hot climates floor insulation may interfere with the natural cooling from the ground beneath the house. Seek advice about the best option for your home and circumstance.

Water pipes Water pipes inside walls can be insulated when building or renovating. To avoid further heat being lost from a storage hot water system, insulating externally exposed pipes leading from the water heater to the house as well as the water tank itself is recommended.

Winter Warming 2016 Practical, clean method to keep warm this winter As the Monaro approaches its typically cold winter months, heating options are occupying residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minds.

This year, in Cooma, there is a clean, green and very efficient alternative to the traditional wood fire.

Pellet heaters are very popular in Europe because of those clean, green qualities.

Now, in Cooma, Pellet Experts Pty Ltd, based at Polo Flat, is producing high quality pellets from sawdust sourced from Donghwa timber mill at Bombala.

The raw material is from the kiln-dried stock, so it is clean and easily combustible.

The pellets are manufactured at the premises in Polo Flat and are packaged into 15kg plastic bags.

The manufacturing process produces no waste while using a quality waste product from Bombala.

In addition to making the pellets, Pellet Experts are also wholesaling pellet heaters to the retail market.

Three partners who have heating and innovation experience, are behind this new business.

While they had access to the pellet heaters, they found sourcing quality pellets was expensive and the pellets were not readily available. The solution? Make the pellets locally.

So now with both components available, Pellet

Experts are in a position to promote a clean environmental friendly heating solution.

Pellet Heaters run on wood pellets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are programmable so they can switch on and off on a timer and their heating capacity can also be adjusted.

They do require electricity to operate the fans and igniter.

The heaters need to be flued â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and that can be as simple as a flue through a wall to the outside.

The heaters are free-standing and need a hard surface â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but that needs only to be as large as the base of the heater.

The wood pellets are clean and can be

easily stored inside. Conveniently, they remove the need for laborious wood chopping and stacking.

The waste produced from burning the pellets is minimal and can be used in the garden. Cleaning the heaters is simple too â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with so little waste produced, the interior can just be vacuumed once the waste tray is removed.

The heaters have a high efficiency rating and produce very little emission.

Tips for selecting firewood What not to burn Never burn household rubbish, driftwood, treated wood or painted wood. It is sure to pollute the air and it can produce toxic gases.

For example, the black part at the bottom of old telegraph poles is saturated with preservatives like creosote.

Green pine logs used for garden edges and park and playground equipment may have been treated with copper chrome arsenate. These logs are safe to handle but release toxic substances when burnt.

Painted wood may contain chemicals that should not be burnt.

Old, painted wood may contain lead which is very harmful to human health.

Never burn coal or coke in a wood heater. Each heater is designed for a specific type of fuel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; using the wrong fuel can result in undesirable pollution emissions.

The key to creating a bright, hot fire is good fuel. Wet (unseasoned) firewood smokes more than dry wood because the water in the wood must be evaporated off before the wood will burn. This lowers the temperature of the fire, causing less complete combustion and excessive smoke.

Burning dry (seasoned) firewood will give you a hot fire, leading to more complete combustion and less smoke.

If you are buying firewood If buying wood to use immediately, always buy dry, seasoned, untreated wood.

Refer to your heater manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation manual to identify the correct fuel to purchase (hard or soft wood).

Because unseasoned wood has a high moisture content it is hard to ignite, slow to burn and produces more smoke and less heat. It can cause your heater flue to clog up more quickly.

You can save money by purchasing unseasoned firewood in early spring and storing it in a well-ventilated shed or other covered area until winter.

Freshly cut wood should be stored for at least 8 to 12 months prior to use. It is best to stack wood in a criss-cross pattern to allow air flow.

How can you tell if wood is dry?

To tell if wood is dry/seasoned, bang two pieces together. You should hear a loud, hollow crack. Alternatively, tap the wood with a key or coin. Dry wood makes a sharp, resonant sound. Wet wood sounds dull.

Our friendly staff at the Elgas Cooma branch will help choose a heater that is right for you.

Wheatbags safety Fact Wheat bags can help pain, but they also have the potential to cause burns and fire if improperly used.

Fire & Rescue NSW Firefighters have responded to numerous residential fires that have occurred due to wheat bags overheating in the microwave oven or wheat bags being used to warm bedding materials.

What you need to know â&#x20AC;˘ Ensure the wheat bag you purchase comes with instructions and follow them carefully, especially when heating. Ensure the timer on the microwave oven is correctly set when heating your wheat bag. Accidentally setting 30 minutes instead of 3 minutes is easy to do and has caused potentially fatal fires. â&#x20AC;˘ When heating a wheat bag in a microwave oven, always place a glass of water next to it. This ensures the bag doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dry out and overheat. Only fill the glass up to ž full. Exercise care when handling the glass of water as it may be hot. â&#x20AC;˘ Only use wheat bags for direct

application to body aches and pains.

Wheat bags can ignite, and are not designed to replace hot water bottles for warming beds. â&#x20AC;˘ Regularly check your wheat bag for signs of wear and tear or scorching.

With age the fillings dry out and become combustible. â&#x20AC;˘ If your Wheat bag begins to smoulder or catches fire ring Triple Zero Immediately.

Remember â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overheat the wheatbag by placing it in the microwave longer than specified by the manufacturer. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave the wheatbag unsupervised in the microwave. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let anyone, particularly children or the elderly sleep with a wheat bag. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the wheat bag to warm your bed up, as it may spontaneously ignite. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reheat the wheatbag before it has properly cooled. â&#x20AC;˘ A wheatbag should be cooled down on a non-combustible surface before storing.

87th Merino ewe competition Wethers sell to $114 at

The Berridale Agricultural Bureau is a non-profit association whose aim is to promote better farming practices and management through our annual competition/ field days and training/ information days on current topics.

Our annual Merino Ewe Competition will be held this year on Friday and Saturday May 6 and 7. This is our 87th year, which makes us one of the longest running Ewe Competitions in Australia.

This year our two judges are Rick Power for Landmark, Grenfell and Warwick Kopp from Towalba Stud in Peak Hill, Central West NSW. For anyone interested in learning more about the Merino sheep industry and hearing advice from leading experts on the finer points of sheep breeding please join us for one or both days.

A bus will be available both days on the Comp

for spectators for $25 per person per day, which includes a delicious morning tea and barbecue lunch.

Bookings for the bus are essential.

Morning tea and lunch will also be available for those using their own transport for $10 per person.

A highlight of the Comp is our Junior Sheep Assessment day, which is sponsored

by Avonside Merino Stud.

This is where young people interested in participating will be expertly guided on selection and evaluation of merino sheep for judging and breeding purposes. This year this event will be held on the Friday of the Comp.

The Competition culminates in a presentation dinner held at the Berridale Inn on the Saturday night again

Steers sell to $1280 at MLP sale Monaro Livestock & Property held their second weaner sale for this autumn on Wednesday April 27, with 3700 cattle yarded represented by 95 local vendors and 75 registered buyers.

The Monaro cattle were still showing benefits of a good season presenting in fresh store condition.

The market was solid with the prospect of rain and the return of a commission buyer with volume orders. Prices improved on recent weeks across the sale lifting from $20 to over $100 dearer in places on the light weight cattle.

Yearling steers sold to $1280 (404kg) and the lead of the spring calves making from $950 to $1100 (300kg to 370kg) with strong competition from a Queensland feedlot for weaners with weight to background, purchasing 300 head.

Steers under 300kg sold to spirited bidding with orders from East and South Gippsland, Pakenham, Wodonga, SA, Cootamundra and local support all putting a solid floor in the middle draft of weaner steers.

The top pens made to $1000 (283kg) and $980 (281kg) equalling $3.48 to $3.53 c/kg. Lighter weaner steers mostly sold from $750 to $900 and late drop calves around the $600 to $750 mark with more of these types penned.

Heifer market was very good with several local orders putting a strong base in the market. The best of the yearling heifers sold to $1005 and heifer weaners to $990 with competition strong for pen lots of well-bred lines with lead drafts making over the $800 mark to be dearer by $25-$50 from recent sales while the young heifers saw some of the biggest price rises of the day.

Maximising your lambing productivity and profitability this season, requires effective parasite management for pregnant ewes.

As the lambing season approaches, lamb and wool producers turn their attention to producing high quality new lambs.

One of the biggest threats to a successful lambing season, as Victorian sheep farmer Nick Moyle knows well, is an internal parasite outbreak. On his property, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pathfinderâ&#x20AC;?, in Penshurst in the southern Grampians district of Victoria, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a fine-tuned system in place to prevent outbreaks of black scour worm.

Nick runs 2,500 ewes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a mix of Merinos and composites, and a cattle seed stock operation, on his 3,500 hectares.

To prevent outbreaks in the sheep flock, his operation uses a tried and tested program of triple acting drenches in the dry summer season and the Cydectin Long Acting injection for sheep for prelambing in the wet winter months.

Nick explains that they regularly run resistance trials to arrive at this method. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the last drench resistance trial it was 99 per cent effective.â&#x20AC;?

After making the switch from controlled release capsules about ten years ago, the Cydectin Long Acting injection for sheep â&#x20AC;&#x201C; administered as a simple single injection â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has become an essential part of their program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot easier than capsules, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also faster and cheaper. The ewes hold their condition and it keeps them clean eliminating scours which can lead to large dags.â&#x20AC;?

In Australia, roundworms like the black scour worm cost the sheep and wool industry more than $430 million per year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 80% of which is associated with lost production, and just 20% with the costs of control.

[1] This represents the highest animal health cost to the Australian sheep industry.

Other roundworms that pose threats are barberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pole worm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially prevalent in zones that receive high summer rainfall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and small brown stomach worms.

The problem is exacerbated by the fact that many worms have developed resistance to certain drenches.

Cydectin Long Acting injection for sheep, one of the drenches used on Nick Moyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm, is especially effective because it kills worms other drenches canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

It has been proven effective against certain resistant strains of worms including benzimidazole and levamisole resistant strains of black scour worm. Its potency and high kill rate mean less worms survive to contaminate pastures

and the development of resistance on a property is greatly delayed, reducing the need for further drenching.

Cydectin Long Acting injection for sheep provides Nick with up to 49 days control of the black scour worm. For infections of barberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pole or small brown stomach worms, it gives farmers peace of mind for at least 90 days. Because it is so potent, Nick finds he needs to drench less frequently, saving time and labour.

Without the injection, the weight on Nickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lambs is also noticeably reduced â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is bad for prime lamb production. In severe cases, infections can also cause lethargy, collapse and death.

Pregnant and lactating ewes are particularly susceptible, because the demands of the foetus and milk production result in a lower immune response â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an effect which snowballs as their level of contamination increases.

This means controlling worms with a potent and persistent drench during pre-lambing and lambing is extra important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supplementary feed our sheep at all,â&#x20AC;? says Nick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also important that we use a potent drench to make sure our pastures are clean prior to lambs dropping â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we rely on it.â&#x20AC;?

Once his lambs drop in July and August, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re introduced onto clean pastures â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because Cydectin Long Acting injection for sheep protects his pastures against recontamination of black scour worm for up to 70 days, and more than 100 days for other types of worm such as barberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pole worm and small brown stomach worm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The lambs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

dropping in highly contaminated pastures from the ewes which gives them the best possible start,â&#x20AC;?

Nick explains. He also stresses the importance of nonchemical prevention methods, such as worm egg count monitoring and alternating grazing.

His operation also runs around 2,000 Pathfinder Angus stud cattle, and alternating grazing between sheep and cattle keeps the pastures cleaner â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially for vulnerable new lambs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have dedicated lamb paddocks with a lot of shelter. We run cattle in there in the autumn and early winter periods, and then put the sheep out there for lambing.â&#x20AC;?

When Nickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lambs drop in mid to late winter, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re given selenium as part of their initial 6-in-1 vaccinations. Half of them are sold in December as trade lambs. The other half are shorn and put on a summer crop of fodder rape, and supplemented with pellets to be sold at the end of February. Thanks to his comprehensive prelambing precautions, Nick averages a lambing rate of around 140% and is able to sell healthy, quality lambs year in year out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would definitely recommend Cydectin Long Acting injection for sheep to other farmers as part of their pre-lambing treatment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by far the easiest, most potent, long acting worm control on the market â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as the most cost effective.â&#x20AC;?

Wednesday May 4, 2016

Elastoplast sticks with Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy in bid to reduce sporting injuries across the region Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy has joined with Elastoplast in an effort to reduce sporting injuries this year in the Monaro and Snowy Mountains.

The workshops will be held in Cooma and Jindabyne and have been arranged by Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy for players, coaches, trainers, administrators, teachers and parents to teach correct taping and strapping techniques.

“Over one million Australians are injured playing sport each year,” Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy’s Renee Pirozzi revealed.

“But the chances of injury on the sports field can be dramatically reduced if weak spots, such as knees and ankles are correctly strapped by sportsmen before they take to the field,” she suggested.

“One significant trial of pre-game taping among soccer players, for example, resulted in a reduction of more than 50 percent in ankle sprains; with taped players suffering 14.7 sprains per 1000 participant games compared to un-taped players receiving 32.8 sprains per 1000 participant games.”

“Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy’s taping workshops will teach sports people and administrators the correct strapping techniques to provide maximum support and protection to vulnerable areas.”

“The workshops will include a significant proportion of ‘hands on’ practical taping work.

This has been made possible by Elastoplast who have provided appropriate sporting tape for use by workshop participants.”

“Taping the ankle area is the most common preventative measure for a wide range of sports, so our workshops first look at that area. Participants’ build their knowledge from the basic anchor, stirrups, Figure 6 and locking straps taping techniques.”

“And then we move to the correct way of taping knees, thumbs and other at-risk areas.”

“These workshops will be of particular interest to players and administrators from all codes of football, to netball and basketball players, to skiiers/boarders and runners…in fact to anyone engaged in any form of sport or exercise.”

The cost to participants is just $110.The Taping workshops will be held in Cooma over two nights on Wednesday May 11 and 18 at 6pm. A one day weekend taping workshop will be held in Jindabyne on Saturday May 14.

A discounted rate is available to sporting clubs nominating three or more participants.

Further information and bookings should be directed to Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy by phoning 6452 4203 or email reneep@ snowyphysio.com.au

Cooma Stallions record good wins against Bateman’s Bay not underestimate a team that is generally strong at home.

Coach Todd Williams said he expected Bateman’s Bay to be a tough opposition and warned the playing squad not to get complacent following a flat training session last Thursday.

“They (Bateman’s Bay) came off the back of a massive flogging last round but we knew it wouldn’t be a walk in the park.

“Training was down on Thursday but the boys got a rev up and came out well,” he said.

With this in mind, The Stallions started strongly maintaining constant pressure and coming out with their best first half performance of the year.

“We had the forwards running in the right spot and the halves are finding their voices,” Williams said.

The Stallions maintained discipline for the entire first half and made metres around the ruck, applying constant pressure to the Bateman’s Bay defensive line to go in to half time 26-0.

During the halftime speech Williams warned the team not to let off and maintain pressure for the entire 80 minutes.

As in previous weeks the Stallions drifted away from their game plan in First Grade’s Richard Bensley. Image courtesy of A.S the second half, relying

The Cooma Stallions have kept their run of good form returning from Bateman’s Bay with a solid 36-8 win.

Bateman’s Bay were coming off a big loss from last round but Cooma knew they could

on their solid defence to keep them out of trouble.

Bateman’s Bay managed to score twice in the second half with both tries coming off kicks and the Cooma defensive line holding strong.

Matty Salvestro at fullback is establishing himself as the best defensive player in the competition with a solid effort earning him player’s player for the round.

Salvestro has undergone a positional change this year and has also impressed with the ball in hand with several 30-40m runs from the in goal getting the Stallions out of trouble.

James Boller was another stand out with two tries and will be be paying short odds for first try scorer in coming weeks.

Williams also gave special mention to Richie Bensley and Jason Reed, playing his first game for the club.

Reed has come from the Queanbeyan Blues and missed the first few rounds due to injury.

His impact in the front row will be a massive benefit for the Stallions in coming rounds.

Williams is very happy with how the team is positioned after the first four rounds and is looking forward to the challenge of facing Bombala next week.

“Bombala will tell us where we’re at as a footy side before we take on Bega and Moruya.

“We need to string our best footy together over the next few weeks and we will be very well positioned before round 2,” he said.

Points went to Astin Nunan 3, Richie Bensley 2 and Kyle High 1.

The Stallions Reserve grade won 28-22.

Fillies go down in thriller against the Bay

The Cooma Fillies lost game five of the season, 26 to 18 to the Batemans Bay Tigers in their debut season. A full squad of players faced their second road trip of the year.

The game started in wonderful style for the Fillies with a great intercept try to Jess Povey. Batemans Bay struck back with four unanswered tries. After a highly motivational speech from coach Brett Simpson the ladies rallied with three tries of their own, two to Tammy Povey and one for Olivia Barron and the ladies appeared to have a win firmly within reach.

However, a late try to the home side left victory just out of reach. The ladies are already looking forward to this rematch later in the season on home soil.

Best on ground for the Fillies was Tammy Povey who was awarded 3 points, Jess Povey received 2 points and Olivia Barron received 1 point.

Next Saturday afternoon the young Fillies face the Bombala High-Heelers in Bombala, in what over the years has been a highly competitive match. This year’s match up

will see some former team mates facing off for the first time and the young ladies are looking forward to a competitive match that will certainly test their resolve.

The ladies would like to thanks all those who travelled to Batemans Bay to support them on the weekend. The ladies would also like to thanks Carlos for the extra fitness training this week, a nice surprise from the coach.

Cooma Cats defeat Woden by seven goals The CCFC southern cats faced the Woden blues at Gordon oval.

After two weeks of byes for the club the playing group were keen and ready to play.

The first quarter was the best start so far this season for the Cats, with big man Tony Fleming leading the way by giving our mid fielders, Steven Bahr and Troy Edwards with Nick Thomas’ first touch of the ball for the clearances and sending the ball quickly into the forward line with a return of five first quarter goals.

At the other end The Cats defence was outstanding, lead by captain Taylor

Lee with all six members of our backline dominating Woden’s forwards keeping them to one goal. The first quarter score was Southern Cats 5.8-38 to Woden’s 1.17.

The second quarter Saw the Cats continue controlling the game around the ground and in front of goal. One of the key forwards, Brad Clarke displayed spectacular pack marks only to be matched by his teammate at the other end of the field, one of the key defenders Jayden Pappas.

The Cats defenders rebounded the

football, which gave the cats mid fielders lots of opportunities to move the ball in to the forwards to give the Cats a return of three goals to one for the quarter.

The half time score was Southern Cats 8.10-58 Woden 2.4-16 After half time Woden came out to be more physical than the Cats, with first season player Nick Griffiths leading the way by showing the Cats were more ferocious as the game became tough and physical with players from both sides going to the sidelines under the blood rule. The Cats didn’t take a backward step when it

became physical around the ground and continued to dominate the game having 8 scoring shots to 2. Three-quarter time score Southern Cats 10.16-76 to Woden 4.4-28.

The last quarter saw more of the tough physical footy from both sides. With both teams adding two goals each.

Southern Cats 12.18-90 Woden 6.7-43.

The CCFC Southern Cats are keen and looking forward to its first Cooma home game for the season on May 7 and hope to see the many Cats supporters down at their game. Go Cats.

Colts Round One 2016 Match Reports Full On Constructions and Rhythm Snow Sports Under 6 The Full On Constructions and Rhythm Snow Sports Under 6 started the season on a high defeating the Gungahlin Bulls 20 to 12. Two tries to Hunter Hart, and a try each to Harrison Tatton, William Bryan, and Ethan Brazulaitis. Junior Morgan, Nicholas Burchall, and Benjamin Fox put in 100% effort with each touch of the ball, fending off the defence, and gaining valuable field position.

Toby McKenzie was brutal in defence, hitting the opposition with force and making an impact. The boys played a great game and worked well with each other. I look forward to seeing how the kids go for the rest of the season. Good effort. Well done.

South East Embroidery Under 7’s The Cooma Colts travelled to Canberra for their first game of the season and were up against the Tuggeranong Buffaloes. The colts defence started slow, which couldn’t shut down a quick dash from the Buffaloes that saw them put first points on the board.

The Colts had some great runs from Aiden, Keeley, Mitchell and Tyler however, they were unfortunate not to cross the line. Harper put his body on the line in defence, but the stinging attack from the Buffaloes saw them score another 2 tries. The buffaloes defence was strong, but Nate, Riley and Jermaine showed some great foot work and were able to cross the line to even things up. The Buffaloes gave it all they could in attack, but excellent defence from Nate, Jermaine, Jesse and Kurik held the Buffaloes out until the last minute of the game where the sharp attack from the buffaloes finally wore the Colts down and saw them cross the line to make the final score 16-20 to the Buffaloes. Tries: Nate Stokes (2), Riley Williams (1) and Jermaine Bartlett (1) Well done colts it was very close. Aiden Dixon, Harper Woolf, Jermaine Bartlett, Jesse Hurford, Keeley Usher- Radel, Kurik Nelson, Mitchell Fletcher, Nate Stokes, Riley Williams and Tyler Lee. Snowy River Painting Under 8’s – White The Cooma Colts travelled to Queanbeyan on Sunday to take on the Queanbeyan Kangaroos for their opening round of the season. The Colts didn’t get off to a great start with confusion around the ruck and defensive line which saw the Roos cross for the first try of the match. It didn’t take the Colts long to find their feet though, with some solid runs from Cooper Lee and Bailey Benn, which set the wheels in motion for Riley McKenzie to cross for the Colts and a conversion from Lachlan Burchall equalled the scores. The Kangaroos tried their best to break the Colts defensive line, but the solid defence from Jackson Cook, Riley McKenzie and Othon Morgan was impenetrable set after set and the Colts were again the next to score through a try to Kyte Lee and a conversion to Cooper Lee. The Roos still couldn’t find an answer to break the Colts defensive line and were again met with crunching tackles from Lachlan Bryan and Kyte Lee, but like always, Othon Morgan showed them how to do it with another try for the Colts and a Conversion to Riley McKenzie. The Colts relaxed a little early though and allowed the Roos to hit back, but after another great set in attack, the Colts hit straight back with a great scoot from dummy half for Lachlan Burchall and a conversion to Kyte Lee. The Colts were too strong in the end beating the Kangaroos 24 to 12. The

medal went to Kyte Lee and the Maccas award went to Lachlan Bryan.

Monaro Constructions Under 8’s Black For the first game of the season the Cooma Colts Black travelled to Gowrie in Canberra.

This was the first league game for most of the boys and they played a very strong Valley Dragons team. The Dragons got on top early and ran out to a lead when the Colts had only 6 players on the field. The colts Black team then had some help from Colts White players Riley McKenzie, Lachlan Burchall and Othon Morgan, who after playing their game in Queanbeyan, came across to get a full team on the paddock, a big thank you to these boys. With a full team we were able to claw the score back, ending with a full time score of 22 to 14 with Valley Dragons running out the victors. For the Black team, James Burke produced some strong running with the football and kicked our only goal. Deuchar Waldren and Blaze Podger made some very nice tackles on some bigger opponents.

Manson Sandelberg proved very elusive with the ball and made good metres. Rhylee Rosenbaum-Robinson was always jolly on the spot with his defence and backed his team up well. Colby Douch ran strongly with the ball and made metres when he took the line on.

Well done to the boys on their first outing with everyone coming from the field with a smile on their faces. Thanks also to Mark McGufficke for his sports trainer services.

Monaro Panel Beaters Under 9’s With the sun shining and the wind blowing away the cobwebs for the first round of the season, the Monaro Panel Beater Under 9’s started the year off with a win. We had some great defence from Tyrell Bartlett, who has started off the year with the leading tackle count.

Dempsey Woolf, Wyatt Hurford and Jack Dunn also showed positive signs with some strong defence and hard tackles stopping the Belconnen Sharks in their tracks.

Rylee Holland playing his first game showed that he is enjoying himself with some great runs. Archie Blyton, Khian Flanagan and Natasha Kelly demonstrated some brilliance in attack with hard hit-ups easily running through the Sharks defence. Not only with Jett Kelly using some lightning speed to run free and make some yards for the Monaro Panel Beater Under 9’s, it was Charlie Payne zipping pass the Belconnen Sharks in for his first try of the season. Clever attacking from Lachlan Sky and Jayden Hart, were also lucky to go over for a try with Hunter Caldwell and Connor Nelson showing some razzle dazzle with both boys going over for 2 tries each. At the end of the game, Tad’s Cleaning and Monaro Freight generously donated spray jackets for the boys to wear and we would like to thank them for their generosity.

Sportspower Cooma Colts Under 10’s The Cooma Sports Power U10’s first game was against the South Tuggeranong Knights in Canberra. The boys started the game well with Rhys Cleverly showing speed scoring his first of three tries for the game. Thomas Rudd played an excellent game choosing when to get involved making some try saving tackles out wide and showing excellent pace scoring twice. Clayton Clark played well having some strong runs and talking all day in defence as did Jacob Smith making some well-timed runs from dummy half. Charlie Fleming Led the forwards with some gritty

runs and solid defence also scoring a try, followed close behind by Zane Usher Rodhal who ran strongly and defended well. Hugh Waldren had an excellent debut running strongly and gaining confidence in defence as did Jack Roberson having some really strong runs in the second half. Cameron Filtness carried through his form from last year making some big breaks and scoring a try as well as kicking and directing the boys around the paddock. Josh Williams ran hard all game and also defended strongly, as did Lucas Umback trying hard throughout the second half. Judah-Fai Filiga had a strong debut game running hard and making some strong tackles, playing up a year he did not look out of place at all. Tyler Walden had a great first game also running hard and defending well. Lee Morgan once again showed great speed and gave it to the big boys in defence also scoring a try and making great yards throughout the game. Good start to the season Fella’s! Final score 36-16 to Cooma. Try scorer’s Rhys Cleverly 3, Thomas Rudd 2, Cameron Filtness, Lee Morgan and Charlie Fleming 1. Conversion Rhys Cleverly and Clayton Clark. Player of the week was Thomas Rudd. Hitman Award Rhys Cleverly.

Highland Ground Spreading under 11’s The ‘Highland Ground Spreading’ Under 11’s had their first hit out this year at Gowrie against the Valley Dragons. They turned up and were all keen to rumble. In the opening stages, Louie Mould at first receiver stepped off his left foot and left his opposite number behind to score under the posts. Great defence from Azack Morgan and Cooper Inskip kept the Dragon’s pegged back in their own half. Good service from Toby Inskip to Louie, who fed the ball onto a rampaging Jordan Williams. He busted through some flimsy defence, to sprint away to score a great try! Tom Bromfield (in his first year,) defended well and ran strong. The Dragons hit back with a try and conversion with three minutes left in the first half. The ball made its way into the hands of Jack ‘Thumper’ McPherson, who was far more determined than his opposition, and crashed over in the corner carrying three defenders with him. 18-6 at halftime.

After the break, three super subs came on.

Maison Turner, who was very reliable at the back; Jacory Hart, who saved two tries with copy book tackles on the wing; and Deizel Barret (first season) who punched it up hard in the middle. The captain for the day Thomas King, got the ball deep in his own half. He backed his own speed, and sprinted up the side line to score the try of the day. Justin McDonald did what he does most weeks and cut down whatever was moving. Charli Wiggins proved hard to pull down, and also got involved in the tackling. New to the team was Talon Kelly, who scooted from dummy half and caught the Dragons napping, to score. Jordan Williams burst through again in a carbon copy of his first try to score his second. The final score saw the Colts winning 34 to 12. The whole team put in a great effort.

The best and fairest points were Jordan Williams (3), Justin McDonald (2) and Louie Mould (1). Choc awards to Jacory Hart and Thomas King. Medal winner Jordan Williams.

Mainstreet Under 12’s – BYE Franks Butchery Under 13’s The Franks Butchery Cooma Colts under 13’s started the 2016 season with a

resounding 22-6 win over the Valley Dragons at Gowrie. In windy and slippery conditions, the colts showed great ball movement and backed it up with tight and jarring defence.

The four first time players for the Colts Caleb Emerton, Jake Taylor-Friend, Remi Brademanne and Brock Halls had outstanding games being heavily involved for the whole 50 minutes. All players played exceptionally well with the second row combination of Clinton Filtness and Hudson Laird working really hard with some aggressive defence in the middle of the field. Try scorers and awards went to Clinton Filtness who scored 1 try and was awarded the 3 points, Brock Hall successful scoring 1 try and awarded 2 points, Remi Brademanne kicked 3 goals and awarded the 1 point. Jake Galvin and James Dyball scoring 1 try each. The weekly medal was awarded to Caleb Emerton who was tireless in his effort throughout the game.

McDonald’s Cooma Under 15’s The Cooma Colts Under 15s had their first hit out of the season against Gungahlin Bulls at Gungahlin on Sunday. In soggy and blustery conditions, the boys showed why they were such a force in previous years.

Strong defence was shown early on the line from Will Saddler and Archie Allen which paid off. Bailey Rogers plucked a ball out of the air from a kick and ran 90m for his first of 3 tries for the day. Consecutive penalties to Cooma had them attacking the Gungahlin line where Sean Dixon crashed over from close range. Strong carries from Archie Allen and Damon Fanning took Cooma up the field where Darnell Bartlett brushed off 3 defenders to score. Bailey then barged over from a good short ball from Nick Zusak to lead 18-0 at half time. Cooma came out in the second half hoping to replicate their first half but a run of penalties to Gungahlin had Cooma on the back foot. They rallied and held them out only for Bailey to score one of the solo tries of the year where he beat 6 defenders then turned the fullback inside out to score in the corner.

A sharp backline play saw James Hayden put Keegan Caldwell over for a try under the sticks after some excellent lead up work from the forwards. A lack of match fitness from Cooma allowed Gungahlin back into the match where they scored their only try of the game. Great defence on Cooma’s line by Tyler Rees and Will Dean held Gungahlin out again to cap off a great match from all to win 286. 3 points went to Keegan Caldwell 2 points to Darnell Bartlett and 1 point was shared between James Hayden and Bailey Rogers.

Service One Alliance Bank Under 16’s Alliance Service One Members Bank Under 16’s took the field in Cooma on Friday night for their first game of the season. The boys knew they had to come out strong as they were up against West Belconnen who came out strong and were first to score within the first few minutes. Having 6 representative players they were found to be the better team on the night, scoring what seemed to be try after try, but the boys all defended and tried their best, they never gave up putting in everything they had to the very end. James Hayden scored the only try for the Colts, leaving the score 54 points to 4 points. Thank you to the boys that played up from the Under 15’s to help out. Thank you to Tammy Byrne First Aid, and Pete Mylan and Phil Clark League Safe. 3 Points went to Keegan Caldwell, 2 Points James Cahill, 1 point Liam Rankin

Lady Tigers 6-2 win It was a tough game for the Cooma Tigers Womens team with a 6-2 win over ANU, with the score not reflecting ANUs effort to win the game.

The Tigers had the kick off to being round four and they pushed up through their centres Tina Baker and Camilla McDonald. It only took minutes for the ball to find its way to the top of the 18 yard box where the keeper was lured out deep by Alicia Rampal who passed the ball wide to Emily Perkin giving her the opportunity to shoot in an open goal giving the tigers the first point. 1-0.

The Tigers were attacking well when a ball passed out wide to Miruna Moruz allowed her to take a shot from the left, it was taken by the keeper and fumbled where Emily Perkin picked it up and popped the ball in the corner extending the Tigers lead to 2-0.

ANU came to life when a kick over the Tigers back line allowed them to get close to their goal and take a shot, that was saved with ease by keeper Sam de Ruijter.

Sam de Ruijter’s kick made it past half way and allowed the Tigers to push hard into ANU defence and a deflective ball off ANU found the feet of Camilla McDonald at the top of the box. A quick adjustment of her feet and she slammed the ball into the top of the goal taking the Tigers to 3-0.

More pressure from the ANU attack with a long through ball allowed them to get in front and have a shot in the bottom corner. 3-1.

A rough tackle took out the Tigers right back Kerry Baines and left the Tigers with no subs for the remainder of the game. The Tigers attack were pushing hard into the ANU goal, when a dropped ball by the ANU keeper allowed Alicia Rampal to put

the ball on her left foot and a tap but just send it wide of the right post.

With 10 minutes to go in the first half- Miruna Moruz made a run up the wing and with fancy footwork beat two defenders to continue towards the goal where she took another successful shot to extend the Tigers lead to 4-1 going into half time.

The second half was a frazzled start for the Tigers defence with miscommunication and poor defending allowing ANU to have several shots at goal. Sarah Merefeild put her body on the line when a great slide tackle stopped their best chance for another point but a persistent ANU got the goal with another ball in the bottom corner just out of Sam DeRujiters reach. 4-2.

Halfway through the second half the game could still go either way.

Now the Tigers defence had reset and calmed they managed to catch ANU offside three times helping swing the possession back in their favour. Miruna Moruz was back in control of the ball, a quick turn and she took a shot which hit the keeper in the leg and deflected into the goal to take some of the pressure off the Tigers with a 5-2 lead.

Stacey Kelly cut off an ANU ball to pass wide to Hymne Truter, who got the ball up the line to Alicia Rampal to boot it with precision from well outside the 18 yard box to secure the Tigers lead at 6-2.

Not giving up until the whistle the Tigers forwards were all over the ANU goal Alicia Rampal had another attempt for a goal but it was picked up by ANU. At the final whistle the Tigers Women’s team walked away with another win, making it four from four.

Next week they take on Majura in Canberra.

Second fastest on the day was Laurie Burton in his Type 4 20013000cc Datsun 260Z with a best of 42.53s, which is outstanding for a 2WD vehicle of less than 3 litres.

The fastest time in this group was 46.78s set

by Daniel Matthews in his Peugeot 206 Gti 180, followed closely by junior driver Nick Coote in the same type of car with a best of 47.59s, and third was Harry Katsanevas in a Renault Clio1 with a best of 47.98s.

There was also close competition in the Type 1-2 over 3000cc class which pitted four V8s against Breeze Bohl in a Mitsubishi Lancer and Joseph Spulak in a Porsche Boxter S. The fastest time of 45.06s was set by David Deaves in a Holden Commodore HSV GTS, second was Breeze with a best of 45.89s and third was

Stewart Grigg in his Holden Commodore VZ Ute with a best time of 46.76s.

There were two junior (under 18) drivers competing and both drove outstandingly well. Nick Coote finished with a best time of 47.67s to finish second in the Type 1-2 1601-2000cc class, while 14 year-old Tallis Swain improved by over 11s from his first run to his fifth to record a best of 54.32s in his grandfather’s Ford Escort.

First and second grade Red Devils both defeated FIRST GRADE Cooma faced the undefeated Hall Rugby Club at Rotary Oval on Saturday in what shaped up as the Red Devils’ biggest challenge so far this season. The task was made more difficult with the late withdrawal of fullback Mathew Cusbert.

X-rays taken on Friday confirmed Matt had broken his hand the previous week. He now joins Chris de Rooy (calf), Tim Keighley (shoulder), Josh Fraser (knee) and Aaron Stewart (hamstring) on the long term injury list. With centres Grigor Wallace and Darcy Larritt also unavailable due to commitments away from Cooma, the Red Devils needed to dig deep into the Second Grade squad for replacements.

Despite the changes to the line up the Red Devils played solidly. Hall scored a try after 10 minutes and then added another 2 minutes later to take a 12-0 lead. Cooma struck back with a try to captain Pat Egan which Ryan Morgan converted to put the Red Devils right back into the game at 127. But the competition leaders showed their class scoring 4 more tries in the last 15 minutes of the first half to lead 36-7 at half time.

At half time coach Sean Neilson talked about the need to stop Hall’s wide runners and urged the boys to improve their defence. That message was received and understood and Cooma looked far better in the second half. Hall scored first. Cooma struck back but the referee ruled no try to winger James Thompson. Two minutes later James burst through the Hall defence and passed to hooker James Strange to score out wide. With Ryan Morgan off the field with a knee injury, scrum half Mathew Crowley took over the kicking duties and had no problem converting the try. Hall scored again before centre Kalhem Jones pounced on a rare Hall error to score. Matt Crowley converted the try.

Although the final score was Hall 52 Cooma 21, the second half turned out to be a 14-all draw and the Red Devils showed tremendous spirit and depth of character.

Leighton Bates received 3 points and was Players’ Player, Matt Crowley received 2 points and 1 point was shared by Andrew Rolfe and Chris Robertson.

tough week for the Seconds. Led by stand in captain Brad Evans the Red Devils were competitive throughout the match. The forwards worked hard with Aaron Crowe, Dom Giagios, Andrew Stewart, Vinnie Newton and Ismail Hudson taking the game to their opponents. The experience of Tom Moxon and the enthusiasm of Ben Rolfe and Azzam Hudson drove the team forward.

Hall scored after 14 minutes but Cooma won a scrum against the feed and Azzam Hudson broke away to score a try. The conversion was unsuccessful and the score remained 5-all. Two late tries to Hall had Cooma trailing 17-5 at half time.

Hall scored an early converted try to lead 24-5 before fly half Josh McDonald delivered a perfectly timed pass for Tom Ladhams to score next to the posts. Brad Evans converted and Cooma trailed 2412. Hall scored again with only 3 minutes to play but the Red Devils “never-say-die” attitude was on display as Josh McDonald scored a try on the stroke of full time.

Just like First Grade the game was lost in the later stages of the first half and the second half was a 12-all draw. That will be

Under 14 On Saturday Cooma Football Club Under 14’s travelled to Dickson to play Majura Football Club. This was the first game of the season for the team and they played well. Hamish Bottom was

a strong defender in the game and Eli Wilkinson’s attack was excellent.

At half time the score was 4 - 2 to Cooma with Curtis Thomas scoring two goals and Phillip Joyce two goals. It was a very competitive second half with Molly Nichols proving she will be a good addition to the team. After Phillip scored his third goal for the game the score was at 5 - 5 with a minute to go unfortunately Majura F.C scored in the last minute with a final score of 5 - 6.

High Heelers win the day for Bombala rugby league On Saturday April 30 the Bombala District RLFC ventured down the mountain to face the Bega Roosters and Chicks. In what is always a tough and passionate battle between these two towns, all three games provided entertaining football.

Ladies League Tag: The Bombala High Heelers kept their winning streak alive beating the reigning premiers, the Bega Chicks 26-10.

From the kick off this game was set to be a tough contest with the Bombala girls consistently forced to defend back to back sets, making it difficult to get out of their own half. However the High Heelers defence stayed strong and whilst Bega was able to cross the line on two occasions, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to hold out the welldisciplined and classy football skills of the High Heelers. Staying patient in attack the point scoring was consistent for the High Heelers who managed to break through the Bega defensive line on numerous occasions. Three points was awarded to the trying scoring machine Tash Stewart (sponsored by Raw Strength and Fitness) managing to speed away to score from various different positions on the field, two points went to Monique Ingram (sponsored

by Fortitude Physiotherapy) who showed solid defence and was able to break the line on numerous occasions setting up for points and one point went to Lucy Sellars (sponsored by Bendoc Park Poll Herefords) who always looked dangerous with the ball in her hands and whose defence was ruthless.

Players player, awarded from her peers,

went to Chloe Murphy (sponsored by Final Touches) whose tenacity in tagging was outstanding along with her hard line running and break away runs.

Reserve Grade: In the Reserve Grade the Bombala boys provided a solid line up, however still adjusting to new players and in various positions they were rattled by the big Bega pack and the final score ended in the roosters favour.

The likes of Paul Gimbert, Joel Cherry and Korie Elton all drove hard hit ups to gain early meters for the Bombala team.

After a quick onslaught of points from the Bega team Bombala hit back through Daniel Douch whose quick hands found the try line.

Bailey Jones was able to convert the try and whilst the heelers entered the sheds at half time 20-6 the momentum finally seemed on their side. After half time solid defensive efforts from John Ford, Pat Goudie and Fred Simpson would help to keep the Bega team at bay, but even a great try saving chase down tackle by Bailey Jones couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop eventual points to Bega.

Captain coach Clay Stewart was unlucky not to get a 40/20 to gain the Heelers some good field possession. The frustration was getting to the boys and a player sent to the bin for 10 minutes would leave the Heelers one man down and the Bega team were sure to capitalise.

The final score ended as 42-6. Three points and players player was awarded to Richard Stewart whose â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;never say dieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

attitude in defence was an inspiration to the Bombala team, Bailey Jones was awarded two points for his great scramble defence and one point went to John Ford who proved hard to handle in both attack and defence.

First Grade: First grade took the field under lights with a 6.30pm kick off.

The Bombala team were looking energised by the injection of two new Fijian team mates. While the score stayed locked at 6-0 in Begaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favour for much of the first half, it was Bombala who would be their own enemy continuously handing possession back to the Bega team through unforced errors.

Joe bobbin would be a standout in attack running solid lines and gaining great meters for the Bombala team.

Fijian duo Tuwame Turaganivalu (or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Warmiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) and Saimoni Buinimasi (or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) proved lethal in defence putting hits on the Bega boys that could be almost felt by the crowd.

Not to be outdone in attack, their ability to make metres and offer classy offloads was an asset to the team and provides exciting prospects for future games to come.

Luke Ingram stepped up in defence driving the Bega boys into the ground with each tackle. The half time score eventually got to 22-0 to the Bega team but with temperament and passions flaring the Bombala boys were not ready to back down yet. Chris Anderson came out firing from half time, running with great determination breaking the defensive line.

Andrew Guthrie was able to offer a great kicking game to help with field possession.

However an unfortunate injury to captain/ coach Joe Bobbin meant the Bombala lads would have to lift even further. Malcolm Stone was pivotal in defence working tirelessly to try keep the Bega team out.

By the 74th minute the physicality of the game certainly had taken its toll with various players from both teams out on their feet needing first aid attention.

Given the field possession stats the Bombala team could be proud of their defensive efforts, Bega were able to score only twice more in the second half, pushing the final score out to 34-0.

Three points was awarded to Luke Ingram for his relentless efforts particularly in defence, 2 points went to newcomer Tuwame whose skills across the park were outstanding and make him an exciting player to watch throughout the season and 1 point went to the ever-reliable work horse Malcolm Stone.

The Bombala and District RLFC are excited to be hosting next weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games on Saturday May 7.

Following junior football earlier in the day, the Blue Heelers and High Heelers will take on the Cooma Stallions and Fillies in what is always a well rivalled, great-spirited game amongst the two highland teams.

Everyone is encouraged to come along and support the Heelers at home for a fantastic day of Saturday footy.

The club would like to acknowledge and thank their major sponsor the Bombala RSL club for all that they do to encourage Rugby League in the Bombala community.

Bombala junior rugby league results After the shock of heat hitting us at Batemans Bay, the under 7’s took to the field in what was a great game! I am so proud of these boys, they play their little hearts out each week and in doing so come off with great results. This weeks man of the match went to Cody Bruce, keep up the good work buddy!

Thanks to all the parents for making the effort to drive down to Batemans Bay, it was certainly worth it!

Coach Louise Wright.

This week the under 8s took on Batemans Bay Tigers in very warm conditions, all the kids put in a strong 40 minute performance on the day which did Bombala proud. Once again Ari Sten (the wrecking ball) lead the troops in defence along side Freddy Merrit, Gracie Brownlie, Ruby Smith and Max Power. Jake Brown put in a big effort all game with some barn storming runs and try-saving tackles and was rewarded with a well deserved try. Young Mathew Reed took the ball up a few times and is growing in confidence each game. Zara Brotherton also showed great form in each game she plays with some great hit ups and tackles all game. The milo player of the match went to Tanner Hurley showing classy footwork in attack and countless try saving tackles which earnt her a few tries. Although defeated by one try in the last minute these kids can all most taste a victory. Well done champs..

Coach Rolly Skellern It was great to see so many of the under 9’s Blue Heelers travel to Batemans Bay on the weekend, the trip makes it a little hard for the younger teams but there was still loads of enthusiasm. A big thankyou to the parents who made the huge effort to make sure there was a full team. Even though the score board may not be showing it, the under 9s team is making the opposition work hard for their wins each week.

Blue Heelers and Batemans Bay were very even in the defence and attack with the Batemans Bay team just having a couple of lucky breaks ensuring the win.

Lara Manning was the Milo Match winner for this week due mainly because of her work in defence. Lara managed to take the ball forward very well on several occasions. Although like previous weeks it could have been anyone in the team as they are all working very hard. Another stand out this week was Arlen Hillyer who has made a strong come back after a couple of quiet weeks. Overall well done to all the under 9s with a home game this weekend it will be worth watching.

Coach Drew Manning.

The 12’s unfortunately only had 10 players on Saturday but with a few of the Batemans Bay Tigers joining us, we had an enjoyable and rewarding game of footy. The girls (Sinead Keavey, Steph Richardson and Jessie Cuzner) came out firing in the first half and played consistently throughout. These girls keep getting better and better every week. Other standouts were Will Garnock and Max Smith with some good strong runs, and a great defensive effort was put in by Lachlan Simpson, Beau Brownlie and Colby Brownlie. Best and fairest points 3 Lachlan Simpson, 2 Zane Phillips Jones and 1 Will Garnock. Coach Damian Smith On Saturday the u/14’s travelled to sunny Batemans Bay to play a well drilled side in 27 degree heat.

The boys defended well in patches in the first half and then stepped it up in the second half, only allowing Batemans Bay to score once. Great effort boys!!

In The first half Blake Bladwin was rewarded a penalty try with Baidon Sten converting one of two attempts at goal. The second half saw Blake Baldwin off load a perfect pass putting

Bryson Phillips jones into a gap which enabled him to speed off down the field scoring a 70m try. Awesome job boys!!

Unfortunately that try was unconverted bringing the score to 26-10.

Paddy Brownlie had an outstanding game and was awarded the 3 points and the players player for his strong defensive game and fantastic support play.

2 points went to Connor Sten for his consistent effort.

Jasper Bruce received 1 point for his great dummy half play and good defence.

We are super proud of all the boys and the effort they put in. It’s really starting to come together boys. Let’s keep up the hard work and I’m sure victory is not too far away.

Coaches Sam and Kieren.

Come down to the local field and watch a full day of football with Juniors kicking off at 9am and then Seniors at 2pm.

Joel Cherry is leading the way in the Bombala Golf Championships so far, with Brad Tonks coming in second on Sunday.

Bowls organisers try to arrange teams that will result in an even contest but like the best laid plans this sometimes goes astray.

Such was the case in the match Sergio Roncelli, Alby Marshall and Paul Cannell v Mary Hilton, Mario Frezza and Denis Steinfort. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team were right on target on their way to a resounding 29/9 victory. Wendy King, Ken Rees and Mick Mayhew had a much closer game with Innes Rees, Bob Douglass and Bob Lahy in winning 10 ends each with victory 22/18 in favour Wendy, Ken and Mick.

Max Butler, Renate Winckel and Ron Gammon had a high scoring first seven ends against Peter Harris, Mary Boller and Kevin Jackson, with a total of twenty shots for the seven ends. Ronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team prevailed 24/19 with four shots on the last end. Keith Goodwin, Ron Wainwright and Geoff Venables lost the first six ends against Allan Crowe, Mike Mannile and Chris Wallace (a former member making a return visit) and trailed 0/11.

The scores were closer on a couple of occasions but six shots to Allan, Mike and Chris on end 18 put them on the road to a 25/18 win.

The Mixed Pairs for this year got started on Saturday with four matches. Cathy and Tony Gray kept Wendy King (subbing for Hazel Walker) and Mick Mayhew on seven shots for six ends whilst they established a commanding 15/7 lead.

This proved a winning position as they went on to win 24/20. Ev and Graham Hamilton spent six ends on 10 shots against Daphne and Mark Buckley, who went

on to win 31/14.

Olga Jebbink and Mike Mannile were early leaders against Lestelle and Wayne Lodge when they established a 13/0 lead after six ends.

Lestelle and Wayne took the lead 19/17 on 16. Four shots on 20 to Olga and Mike left Lestelle and Wayne needing six shots to win or five to force an extra end. They scored only four to put Olga and Mike through to the next round 25/24. Ron Wainwright and Leonie Snell started well but four shots to Dawn and Ross Russell on five put them in front, a position they held to the end in winning 20/16. A feature of this match was 13 ends decided by just one shot.

Two rinks of social bowls with a bye team in the mixed pairs sneaking a bit of practice for next day.

Sherry and Steve Seears provided strong opposition for Cheryl Meillon and Brian Seears in winning 23/17.

Ken Rees and John Schoon could do nothing wrong in the first nine ends against Denis Steinfort and Brian Searle to lead 18/1. Five shots on the last end to Ken and John gave them a good win 31/14.

In District Champion of Club Champions Daniel Clough travelled to Adaminaby where he was successful in defeating that Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Champion, Eddie Potter, 31/25. Daniel will now go on to represent the District later in the year at Zone Level.

We wish him well.

The match, Mary Murphy and Daniel Clough v Mary Phillips and Peter Marsicano in Mixed Pairs which was deferred from Saturday due to Danielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s District commitment was completed on Sunday Morning.

Mary Murphy and Daniel made a great start to lead 10/0 after just six ends before Mary Phillips and Peter made a start.

Five shots to them on 17 brought Mary and Peter within a shot at 15/16.

They were unable

to score again for Mary and Daniel to win 24/15. They are now due to play Dawn and Ross Russell and this must be completed by Saturday so the winner is available to play Maureen and Giulio Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amico on Saturday 14th for a place in the final.

Other matches played in the afternoon in strong gusty wind made bowling very difficult. Mario Frezza and Renate Winckel were 14/4 leaders over Cathy and Tony Gray at the halfway point and withstood a late challenge to win 23/18. Cheryl Meillon and Brian Seears pulled out all the stops to lead Daphne and Mark Buckley 14/0 by end six, Daphne and Mark then staged a comeback and were in front 18/15 on 13. They only had one more scoring end for Cheryl and Brian to win 22/19.

Olga Jebbink and Mike Mannile established a 17/7 lead over Maureen and Guilio Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amico on 13 and it seemed they were to continue their recent winning form when they were in front 18/17 with an end to play. After much looking and measuring Maureen and Guilio gained the necessary two shots for victory 19/18 and a spot in the semi final where they will play the winner Murphy/Clough v Russell/Russell. The other semifinal will be Frezza/Winckel v Meillon/Seears.

Five social bowlers braved the worst conditions for some time and lasted for 20 ends with Bylan Litchfield playing swinging lead for Brian Searle and Bob Lahy and for Sandi Litchfield and Richard Nichols.

Bylan, Brian and Bob were the winners 21/18.

The entry date for the minor pairs has been extended one week to Sunday May 8 to give bowlers extra time to get their team organised and entered.

More than 150 winters of ski patrolling in Perisher Last week, 40 long serving members of the Perisher Volunteer Ski Patrol were honoured to receive the Commonwealth of Australia National Medal for Service.

Among the recipients were four current and previous residents of Snowy River Shire, Peter Gidley, David McAlpine, Terry Chalk and Gary Grant.

Each joined the Perisher Ski Patrol in the 1970’s and between them have accumulated over 150 seasons of ski patrolling and looking after injured and lost skiers and boarders in the Perisher region.

The National Medal was established in 1975 as one of the original elements of the distinctive Australian system of honours. The award recognises “diligent long service in organisations

that protect life and property at some risk to their members”.

The awards were presented by the former Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, at a dinner held at the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club, in Sydney. Mr Abbott who has been an active Lifesaver and Volunteer Fire Fighter, congratulated the recipients and spoke fondly of his holiday experiences in Perisher and the value of volunteer organisations to our Australian communities and way of life.

As well as Mr Abbott, guests at the event included Peter Brulisauer, Chief Operating Officer of Perisher, Wayne Tuckwell, Perisher Ski Patrol Director, Peter Mowbray, President of the Australian Ski Patrol Association, and of course the recipients’ families and friends.

Heelers welcome new players Bushpigs go back to back Two new Fijian players have been added to the Bombala Blue Heelers Rugby League line up, with Wame Turaganivalu Belolevu and Saimoni Buinimasi Biaukula being warmly welcomed to the team.

Both Wame and Saimoni played for the Nabua Broncos in the Top 8 Comp in Fiji, and showed off impressive skills in their first game for the Heelers in Bega on Saturday.

Saimoni plays front row and has played representative rugby league for the Fiji Bati and Residents side, and toured Australia playing against the Newcastle Knights and Group 10 representative squads.

Wame plays in the centres or second row and has also played for the Fiji Bati and Residents in representative games against NSW Country squad and other Australian teams.

Wame also played in the Pacific Games Rugby League Sevens Championships where his team finished second to Papua New Guinea.

Both Saimoni and Wame now live in Bombala and are entering employment with Dongwha Timbers, saying that they love the area so far and are looking forward to meeting more members of the community.

“Saimoni and Wame

really impressed in their first games with very strong runs and even stronger defence,” a Blue Heelers spokesperson said. “They will be a great injection into the Blue Heelers squad.”

Wame Turaganivalu Belolevu and Saimoni Buinimasi Biaukula of Fiji have joined the Bombala Blue Heelers squad.

The Jindabyne Bushpigs recorded another win on Saturday, running away 41-19 victors over Yass Rams in Yass.

After three straight home games, this was an important match for the Bushpigs.

Last week’s victory over Boorowa was the team’s first win of the season so they needed a strong performance on the road to continue their momentum.

It was a fierce contest in the first 20 minutes with plenty of feeling at the breakdown.

The home side had most of the territory and possession through penalties, however, Jindabyne went into the break leading 12-7 on the back of its dominant forward pack, who again won two tight-head scrums over its opposition.

Tallow Baillie crossed for the team’s first try, with Jarrod “Pippy” Cummins sneaking over in the corner to continue his try-scoring form in his debut season.

The second half opened up for the Bushpigs with the backline causing plenty of problems for the Rams’ defence out wide. Flanker Nelson McFee notched up his first try of the season, and centre Adrian Butters was again strong, bagging two. Fullback Lucas Rixon saved a certain try with an intercept that resulted in his own five-pointer, 60m down the field. Rob Morris rounded out the result with a try and three conversions for the day.

Coach Matt Caldwell was pleased with the result, especially with the team missing some key personnel from the previous week.

Coach’s points went to Tallow Baillie (3 points), Lucas Rixon (2 points) and Adrian Butters (1 point), and Players’ Player was awarded to second rower Simon Rudd.

This Saturday May 6, the Bushpigs return home to John Connors Oval with a 2:30pm kick off against Batemans Bay.

Jordan contests National titles

Jordan Davis found himself in Adelaide over the Anzac weekend, after being selected into ACT Little A’s ALAC U/13 Team. Jordan is our first Little A’er to be selected in the ACT Little A’s Team for nine years; the last Cooma Athlete to be selected in the team was Jordan’s sister Hayleigh in 2007 season (Hayleigh as an U/15 was in the Multi-Event).

Jordan found the standard extremely high in both the events he was involved in.

In the discus Jordan finished

in 12th place with a throw of 26.44m. His Personal Best this season is 27.65m.

In the shot put Jordan posted 8.23m and was placed 13th overall.

With this competition over Jordan can concentrate of his other events as the school’s competition hots up over the next few months.

His hurdles, triple jump and the hammer throwing should take him to the NSW State Championships as well the NSW All Schools Champs in October in Sydney.

Best snowsports school Continued from page 64...

JCS showed that every one of the 740 students enrolled at the school in 2015 had the opportunity, and was encouraged, to participate in snowsports.

In total, almost 60 per cent of the student population did so, whether it be as part of the K-2 three-day ski program, Years 3-4 week-long snowsports program, Years 5-10 Friday sport program or as part of the JCS Interschools team.

A key component of the submission to the SSA was to show how students participating at the elite level are supported by JCS. JCS showed how it develops and implements individualised programs of excellence through its High Performance Snowsports Athlete Support Program to ensure students can maintain their educational commitments while allowing them to pursue their sporting goals.

In 2015, some of JCS’s elite snowsports athletes included Year 12 student Adam Lambert who won Boadercross at the Snowboard Junior World Championships, Year 10 student Cameron Waddell who qualified for the Australian Youth Olympic Team at Lillehammer this year and Year Seven student Abi Harrigan, who won the Australian Junior Freeride Championships in Slopestyle and Halfpipe.

JCS was also able to show how students in Years Five to 12 are required to complete basic

first aid training and on-snow safety education and how high school students are offered an outdoor education option where they are taught to snowshoe efficiently in the wilderness, build shelters including igloos and snow caves and read and act accordingly to changing weather conditions.

Last year was the first time JCS won the title of NSW Secondary Female Overall Snowsports Champion at Interschools while at the same time it defended its national title of Champion Junior CoEd School, proving that new athletes are coming through the ranks.

Staff and students were thrilled to learn they had claimed the prestigious title of Australian Snowsports School of the Year, which was won by Victoria’s Caulfield Grammar School in 2015 and The Scots College in 2014.

“It is a wonderful achievement and all students, staff, parents and community members should be justifiably proud of this significant and momentous achievement,” JCS principal Debiie-Lee Hughes said.

“This is a newsworthy award and a first for Public Education. I am immensely proud of the efforts of our school.”

Moguls skier Matt Graham won the SSA Athlete of the Year award after an outstanding season, which saw him finish second overall in the World Cup.
