Young male injured in fire An 18-year-old Cooma male suffered burns to 40 percent of his body on Sunday afternoon and was airlifted to Concord Hospital in a stable but serious condition. At approximately 5.20pm Sunday November 8, the Cooma male was at a Mittagang Road residence with a group of friends where they lit a fire in a slow combustion fireplace.

There was difficulty in getting the fire started so the male climbed a ladder and poured petrol down the flue of the fireplace.

The petrol ignited causing the male’s clothing to catch alight.

He was able to run to a hose, and with the assistance of his friends, the fire was extinguished.

NSW Police and Ambulance were in attendance and the male was conveyed to Cooma Hospital before being airlifted by Southcare helicopter to Concord Hospital burns unit.

Motorcyclist dies A report will be prepared for the Coroner following the death of a motorcyclist in the Snowy Mountains.

Around 7.15pm on Friday November 6, police located the body of a 68-year-old man, and a motorbike, down an embankment off Alpine Way, Jindabyne.

Police had been searching the location after the man had been reported missing earlier in the afternoon.

Busy day at Raglan Gallery

Police are examining the circumstances surrounding the man’s death and a report will be sent to the Coroner.

Charged after Bemboka death A man has been charged after a pedestrian was allegedly hit by a truck and died on the Far South Coast in June 2015.

About 6.40am on Friday June 19, emergency services were called to the Snowy Mountains Highway, Bemboka, following reports of a pedestrian being hit.

On arrival officers from Far South Coast Local Area Command found a 44-year-old Bemboka man had died.

An investigation was commenced and police will allege that the man was walking east along the highway and was hit by a truck travelling in the same direction.

The male truck driver, aged 21, was uninjured and taken to Bega Hospital for mandatory blood and urine testing.

On Monday, the 21-yearold man attended Queanbeyan Police Station.

He was issued with a future service court attendance notice for dangerously drive occasioning death and negligent drive occasioning death.

The man from Gungahlin, ACT, will appear at Bega Local Court on Tuesday February 23.

The Raglan Gallery in Cooma was a busy place last Saturday as two exhibitions were held there.

In the morning, the Australian National Gallery held a talk on the upcoming exhibition of Tom Roberts, one of the members of the Heidelberg School and one of Australian’s bestknown artists.

The talk was presented by the gallery’s marketing manager and former Cooma resident Susie Campbell and education officer, Rose Cahill.

They spoke to a full house of art enthusiasts.

The paintings by Tom Roberts are some of the most recognisable and loved by Australians.

His vision of life in Australia helped to define our visual culture.

He was among the first to promote outdoor landscape painting and his Impressionist landscapes set the tone for much that was to follow.

Busy, busy weekend across region Last weekend was a very busy weekend across the region with three major events being held.

The 15th annual Snowy Ride started on Friday and attracted more than 2700 riders to the region, including Thredbo. See photos and report on page 32.

The fourth annual National Busking Championships were held in Cooma on Saturday as was the Cooma Historic Automobile Club’s (Car Club) biennial Motor Fest.

The Motor Fest attracted 350 separate exhibits, with 24 trucks and 255 vehicles filling the Cooma Showground for the day. See photos on page 25.

There was dancing in the streets The streets of Cooma were alive with the sound of music on Saturday for the Australian National Busking Championships.

A total of 157 buskers took to the street for the competition, which is a 40 per cent increase on the number of the participants in last year’s event. After being stationed at various spots in Cooma’s CBD and at the Showground for the Motor Fest, the finals concert was held on the stage in Centennial Park to a large crowd.

The competition had $10,000 in prizes up for grabs, and the main winner of the open adult category was the Moir family who came from Mount Kembla. Second place went to Deano Martin and third to Raising Cain. The secondary student category saw Lucy Sugerman take home the prize and Anna Browne won the primary student age group.

There was a great variety of ages with the youngest participant being only six years old, and some over the age of 80. There were also a wide variety of musicians and all sorts of different instruments being beaten, plucked and blown throughout the day.

The community voted for the People’s Choice award by purchasing ‘Busking Dollars’ to give out to their favourite performers on the day. The winner was local jazz combo Break 2 Beats, followed by Rubber Band and Numeralla Finger Plunkers.

Organiser Allan Spencer says that he couldn’t be happier with the event and is already looking forward to an even bigger one next year.

“The plan is to roll out the competition across the country,” he says, “We would like to have competitions happen in other towns and then host the grand final here in Cooma, which would be a great

thing for the whole town.”

“I would like to thank the community for their support of the event, and for all out sponsors in providing the prizes for the day as well,” says Allan.

Allan says that as a result of this year’s event, which saw buskers come from the Central Coast, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra, he has already received interest from various interstate towns to come on board. With over 6,000 views of the competition results on the event’s Facebook page, the future is looking bright for the championship in years to come.

Mayor welcomes reopening of Henry Mortlock Centre Allegations of overcrowding in NSW gaols, including the Cooma Correctional Centre, have led rise to the prospect of re-opening the Henry Mortlock centre in Vulcan Street, Cooma as a minimum security facility.

The union which oversees correctional facility workers, the Prison Officers Branch of the Public Service Association, said last week the Cooma facility, like others in the state, was overcrowded.

Chairman of the association, Steve McMahon, said all facilities need to have about a five percent leeway to accommodate situations such as a cell becoming unusable.

He said the growth in prisoners numbers in recent years and the closure of some facilities around the state, have contributed to the overcrowding.

Mr McMahon said the total prison population

in 2012 was 9400. As of last week, he said the numbers had increased to 12, 170 and by the end of November that figure was expected to grow to 12,200.

The Cooma Correctional facility has a capacity of 160 inmates, and employs 31 custodial staff, nine overseers and 13 noncustodial staff.

Mr McMahon said the Henry Mortlock Centre, which was originally built to be used as a minimal security facility, could house about 20 inmates.

Opening the facility would mean an additional seven fulltime jobs would be created in the area.

The centre has had an interrupted existence – firstly as it was purposebuilt for, then later as a COSP centre, which was closed down due to community concerns.

Cooma-Monaro Mayor, Dean Lynch, is supportive of the centre reopening as a

correctional facility.

He said the COSP had housed residents that caused a problem within the community, resulting in its closure, but a correctional facility was different and should not create the same issues.

Cooma Hospital Auxiliary receives Certificate of Merit Four members of the Cooma Hospital Auxiliary travelled to Wagga Wagga recently to the United Hospital Auxiliaries of NSW Inc 82nd State Conference which was hosted by the Wagga Wagga Base Hospital Auxiliary and held at the Wagga Wagga R.S.L. The conference was held over two days and auxiliary members travelled from nine regions in NSW. Central West, Hunter, Illawarra, Metropolitan, New England, North Eastern, Orana Far West, Riverina and Western Metropolitan.

Also attending were the State President Marion Dickins, State Treasurer Christine Smith who is also the South Eastern Regional Representative, Deputy State President Molly Strong, and Deputy State Treasurer Lesley Croft. The Ministry of Health Representative, Dr. Mary Foley, as well as the Central Secretaries of U.H.A. The theme for the conference was “Unity” and day one being business day revealed some very interesting figures as to what the UHA of NSW Inc. contributes to the NSW hospitals. Gross funds raised by 194 hospital auxiliaries in NSW during 2014/2015 $10,796,860.00 Total hours worked 954,597 by the 5,973 volunteers which is equal to 530 full time staff. It was stressed that the health system could not do without hospital auxiliaries and that they are a very important part of providing extensive additional pieces of equipment and extra comfort for patients, they are also a very valuable resource that hospitals can have.

Volunteering is good for you, it makes you feel good, it brings people together, it aids personal growth, you learn a lot, you get a chance

to give back, you make a difference to the hospital.

Hospital Auxiliary members give unselfish devotion, volunteers are not paid they are priceless.

The guest speaker for the day was Tod Adams Manager Rural Mobile Stimulation Centre. Tod gave a gave a very informative and amusing insight into her travels and the contents of the traveling truck and where it has visited.

A delight to those attending was the entertainment

by Jamie Way who hails from Wagga Wagga and is an Elvis Presley impersonator. Jamie was well received, his act was enjoyed by all and he received loud accolades.

Day two was presentation day and Cooma Auxiliary members were delighted to receive a Certificate of Merit for raising over $500 net per person during the financial year 2014-2015. Some of the larger Auxiliaries raised quite large sums of money but the smaller amounts were just as important.

Guest speaker for day two was Dr Alok Sharma an eye surgeon who is the instigator of “Dark to Light” and he raises funds and travels to India to help with sight problems in the villages.

“Yesterday’s Wine” a young Wagga Wagga student with a crooners voice gave lovely renditions of some old favourites and was quite a contrast from the previous day with Elvis.

Raffles and lucky door prizes were in abundance and there were many lucky winners.

The 82nd Conference of the UHA Inc. of NSW was a great success and all were thanked for their continued hard work and dedication.

Let us hold high the lamp of service for the welfare of our hospital

MEIS looks back on a big year Left: Chrissy Fitzgerald (centre) was presented with a plaque for her tireless volunteer work with the MEIS by outgoing Committee President Robyn Boyce (left) and General Manager Rhonda Howie (right).

Right: MEIS General Manager Rhonda Howie says a heart-felt thank you to outgoing Committee President Robyn Boyce at the AGM last Wednesday evening.

The Monaro Early Intervention Service (MEIS) held their Annual General Meeting last Wednesday evening to ring in the new committee and reflect on the achievements they have made over the year.

Some of those achievements include implementing a quality management system, securing government funding for speech pathology and additional behaviour support, new autism and social participation and inclusion programs, and providing space to a Canberra psychology service.

Robyn Boyce stepped down from president to vice president of the Management Committee after holding the position for the last eight years. Taking her place is local solicitor Mark Herbert.

Mick Boyce went through the finances

of the last year, stating that the MEIS is in a strong position, although donations and support from the community are always needed to keep operating and growing into the future.

One of the biggest challenges the MEIS will face in the upcoming year is the roll out of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Set to hit our region in July 2016, the MEIS will need to compete with larger organisations to secure a place as a provider under the NDIS. This year saw the MEIS attain a Third Party Verification of their quality management system, which enables them to become a registered provider under the NDIS, however the smaller size and finances will be a restriction when it comes to competing for a spot against larger organisations.

The AGM was an opportunity for General Manager Rhonda Howie to thank all who have contributed to the operation and growth of MEIS over the last year. They included, staff, committee members, sponsors, parents and volunteers. One particular parent was singled out as having made a massive difference to MEIS. Chrissy Fitzgerald, whose son attended MEIS and as a result is now in the mainstream system, has dedicated many hours of her time to assisting the staff of the MEIS. She was one of the key drivers of the Cottage Project, which has allowed for extra space at MEIS, and physically assisted with the painting and much of the renovations. Chrissy was presented with a plaque at the AGM to be placed in the Cottage as recognition for all her efforts.

Grants available to support volunteers in the Monaro Community organisations in the Monaro are encouraged to apply for a grant of up to $5000 to assist the work of their volunteers.

Member for Eden-Monaro, Dr Peter Hendy, said the funding is being provided under a $20 million Volunteer Grant funding round, announced by the Minister for Social Services, the Hon Christian Porter MP. “This is a great opportunity for community organisations in the Monaro to apply for a grant of between $1,000 and $5,000 to help make the work of their volunteers easier, safer and more enjoyable,” Dr Hendy said.

“These grants can be used by organisations to help with costs incurred by their volunteers, and could include the cost of fuel to take seniors to the doctor, first aid training, background security checks or transport for volunteers with disability who cannot drive.

“Community organisations can also purchase much-needed equipment, such as computers or printers, so they can keep pace with technology.

“In many ways, volunteers are the lifeblood and

the backbone of our community and I’m glad to see that our local organisations can now apply for these grants to help support their valuable work,” Dr Peter Hendy said.

In opening the Volunteer Grants 2015 Round, Mr Porter said this funding demonstrates the Government’s commitment to supporting the volunteers who give their time to help others and who encourage the inclusion of vulnerable people in community life.

“This year’s Volunteer Grants gives priority to organisations working with individuals or communities experiencing disadvantage, including communities affected by natural disasters—so we encourage organisations in these areas to apply,” Mr Porter said.

Applications for Volunteer Grants close 2pm AEDT, Wednesday December 9. For further information go to dss.gov.au/grants.

Alternatively, contact the Volunteer Grants 2015 Hotline on freecall 1800 183 374 or email vg2015@ dss.gov.au.

We are moving forward with merger discussions and met with Cooma Monaro Shire Council late last week following advice from the State Government.

This was a very productive meeting and it was agreed that we will move forward to put plans in place and to develop our final submissions due on 18 November.

If the Council’s merge, the State Government will provide a two council merger $5m for expenditure on infrastructure and a three council merger will receive $10m.

In addition, the State Government will provide a further contribution of $5m for merger costs. Both councils are of the view that the State Government should meet all merger costs as this contribution will not cover total costs and that the community should not be penalised to cover the total costs to merge.

Bombala resident named as a National Carer Awards finalist Life Without Barriers and Carers Australia have announced the state finalists for the National Carer Awards 2015.

The national awards recognise and celebrate unpaid carers and foster and kinship carers for the extraordinary contribution they make to the community.

Kathryn Farrell from Bombala has been selected as a finalist in the NSW state awards.

A busy mum of eight children, Kathryn Farrell takes multi-tasking to another level, supporting her husband and parents working their cattle property as well as working part-time in community

services based in Bombala.

While working and juggling her family’s needs, Kathryn provides additional support for her 14 year old daughter who lives with a condition called Rett Syndrome, is non- verbal and has no functional use of her hands As her daughter’s primary carer, Kathryn provides high level 24-hour support in a variety of ways including supervision to monitor her access to food, care with mobilisation and assistance with communicating and responding to her needs.

Kathryn is described as having

We have a joint meeting with the Minister for Local Government and the Member for Monaro scheduled for today to gain more detailed information and confirmation of the State Governments financial commitment towards the costs of merging.

amazing drive and seemingly endless energy and shows great community leadership with her insights on the challenges for local families raising children with disability.

She says socialising can be difficult with the demands in her week, so to keep herself mentally engaged and stimulated, she has taken on extra study at home which she fits in around her caring role.

Through her work and her life experience, Kathryn has a positive impact on the people she cares for at every level. She has set up and facilitates an activity group called ‘Scallywags’ in the Bombala Shire for children with additional needs their siblings and carers.

It’s a space where carers can meet with other carers and speak about common struggles and concerns.

Kathryn’s intimate knowledge of the demands of being a carer in an isolated rural location gives her a deep understanding of the issues affecting families.

Long hours and distances are routine for Kathryn while striving to provide a good life for her family.

One of her major goals is to achieve greater inclusion and more community support so people with disabilities can access what they need.

With a shortage of respite workers in the area, she says all carers should do what they can to look after their own well-being and advocates strongly for people to think about themselves as well as the people they care for.

TRAVEL TIPS- Taking the kids to the Gold Coast EVERY TRAVEL NEED COVERED

‡ )OLJKWV ‡ 7UDQVIHUV ‡ $FFRPPRGDWLRQ ‡ 3DFNDJHV ‡ &UXLVLQJ T: 02 6456 1010 F: 02 6456 1216 Postal address: 32 %R[ -LQGDE\QH Travel Insurance is highly recommended IATA: 96-8 39595

With direct flights between Canberra and Coolangatta airport, going to the Gold coast for a family holiday is easier then ever. It is an action packed place to visit with plenty of things to do for any family and budget. Accommodation is quite reasonable and there are hundreds of places and options to choose from! There are many parks with decent playgrounds and some good patrolled beaches for swimming and sandcastle building.

So here are my tips and favourite things to do on a Gold Coast trip.

1.

Check your dates: Try and avoid such things as Schoolies, and if possible, school holidays. Understandably this may not be possible with school age children, so travelling on midweek dates can also help with the crowds at theme parks and other attractions.

2. Buy Year Passes: Visit the theme parks, but before you do, buy year

passes. A year pass for the trio of Movie world, Sea world, Wet N Wild OR Dreamworld, WhiteWater World and Sky Point Tower will set you back about $100/person not counting the many deals that they offer throughout the year. General admission to just one park can start at $70/adult, so the year pass is great value!

3. If flying in, hire a car. All the major car rental companies operate out of Coolangatta airport and as many of the attractions of the Gold Coast are quite spread out (particularly the theme parks) a car is needed.

Transfers, shuttles and some public transport is available in the area, however this can work out to be a more expensive option.

4. Check out the largest Timezone in the southern Hemisphere. It features not only arcade games but bowling, dodgem cars, laser tag and

mini golf. They are generally open til Midnight, so it’s a good option for child friendly evening entertainment.

5. Keep an eye on local papers and ‘whats on’ websites. There is often many free things to see and do, such as markets and street entertainment, especially during peak times such as school holidays.

6. Get an ‘old timey’ family photo. There are a couple of studios in the gold coast that do sepia photos with elaborate props and themes ranging from victorian to the wild west to 1920’s gangster.

Something fun for the next family photos! Visit www.oldtimephotos.com.au for more information.

POST & RAIL

the

postman calls

Well, the pollies are at it again – trying to cripple the little blokes with an increased GST. When GST was first introduced, it was accompanied by personal tax cuts to make it more palatable. Those cuts have long since worn out and the GST and Business Activity Statements continue to make miserable the life of small business owners.

Because of GST, small businesses (like the multinationals) have become involuntary tax collectors, working for free for the Federal Government.

They collect 10 percent on top of the price of goods, which they then have to account for in their BAS and send money to the Australian Tax Office.

Which is fine if every small business was a cash-only business, so GST could be put aside immediately after every sale. But the real world doesn’t work like that.

Most businesses offer customers accounts - which aren’t always paid on time – therefore the businesses have to stump up the difference to pay the ATO until they get paid themselves. That’s often difficult enough at 10 percent GST – at 15 percent, many small businesses won’t survive. Add to that buyer resistance and the situation becomes untenable…

More research suggested Editor, Re ‘Diggers Remembered article” I welcome council’s initiative to link street names in the post war subdivision in the south east of town to wartime casualties, but a coincidence of name is not licence to assume a similar link can be made across town.

To link James Murray’s death in Belgium in 1917 to Murray Street is clearly wrong. “Murray” Street is marked on the town map of 1865.

Such an erroneous link is no kindness to the soldier’s family and no credit to council.

In parts of town settled early in Cooma’s development it seems likely that names “Montague”, “Welch’, and possibly “Mawson” acknowledge influential community figures active before the wars.

Bradley Street would have been named at latest by the coming of the roadway, and it is not unlikely that

street was named for William Bradley who, in the pioneering years, held a number of grazing runs totaling over 100,000 acres.

The origin of the name “Church Road” is less clear-cut for this is outside the subdivision honouring the fallen. It is the “road” (not street) that leads to Myalla. It is the road that leads to the historic Christ Church.

Just as the road to Bombala becomes “Bombala Street”, it seems likely that the road out of town was known locally as the “Myalla Road” and “The Church Road”.

Some documentation is needed to make the link to Alexander Church, sadly lost in Thailand, 1943.

I think an accurate record is required to honour servicemen lost in wartime.

Assuming connection diminishes the whole project.

mating vocals down pat.

You see, it’s all in the downpipes.

One small frog in a downpipe can generate enough volume to penetrate ten inch thick mud brick walls as if they were made of tissue paper.

Add in his two little mates (the other downpipes) and there is enough sound to set the house vibrating, stress out Visiting Puss (I’m cat-sitting again) and pretty much drown out the television.

And don’t even ask if I could hear myself think but for the record, no, I could not.

The downpipe guys were holding centre stage and had no difficulty whatsoever in being heard over all the other frogs, the pummel of the torrential rain hammering the iron roof, the thunderclaps directly overhead, the rushing of the creek churned to a white-water torrent or the roar of the ocean on the other side of the hill.

Quite the lady-killer performance and just to ensure all the girls knew where they were holed up, they kept it up pretty much all night. I know this because they sounded even louder upstairs in my mezzanine bedroom!

This morning there’s still plenty of frog song on the air but the downpipe guys are strangely silent which can lead to only three conclusions. (1) They had a really good night and are sleeping it off. (2) After the night’s singa-thon they are totally out of croak or (3) the enormous diamond python ate ‘em.

Either way, my ears have stopped ringing and Visiting Puss is sleeping the sleep of the zonked and it’s just so quiet and... ...uh oh...no it isn’t.

Lisa Ashurst There’s nothing like a good rainstorm to give the frog population an opportunity to pair up and procreate and here on the coast, where rain falls fairly regularly, the local amphibians are blessed with plenty of opportunities to hook up. Pretty much all year round to be honest so if any place could be labelled frog heaven, this one may be a strong contender.

The science of Feng Shui would have it that frogs in your garden are highly auspicious so I must be in a truly wonderful place as I am in frogs, literally, up to the eaves here and I like hearing them but come rain and we’re talking a cacophony of song, from the single note croaks to the high pips to the rolling rumbles and seeing as lady frogs are attracted to the guy with the loudest voice, which implies that he’s the biggest and strongest frog in the creek/pond/dam whatever, volume is a big issue when there are so many competing for the ladies.

Now male frogs, knowing all about the volume thingy, can be pretty innovative when it comes to finding ways to enhance their vocal abilities and if I didn’t know better I’d swear the guys in the pond beside my house were the size of hippos.

But there is one little frog (plus two of his mates now) who has cottoned on to a great way to sound one hell of a lot bigger than he really is and I have to hand it to him, as loud and penetrating calls go, he’s got the

Bombala recipients Farewell Nola Bombala has congratulated Eileen Hampshire and Jay Podger on receiving Monaro Service Awards.

PLE LOCAL PEO

Following the presentation of the latest round of Monaro Service Awards last week, the Bombala community had two recipients to congratulate in particular.

The awards are presented to local volunteers by Member for Monaro, John Barilaro to recognise outstanding contributions, with both Eileen Hampshire and Jay Podger being recipients this year.

Eileen was recognised for her charity work, in particular establishing

Bombala’s Relay for Life; while Jay, a former Bombala local, was recognised for service to the Cooma community through the Performing Arts “These selfless individuals quietly make a difference in our community; they go above and beyond the definition of their role often with little recognition in their effort to make the community they live in a better place,” Mr Barilaro said.

After 22 years, Nola Taylor is saying goodbye to Mitre 10 in Cooma.

Looking for a country life, Nola and her husband Kim moved to Cooma from Sydney back in 1985 and have never looked back.

While her children were still young, Nola stayed at home to care for them, before taking up an assistant role in accounts at Mitre 10 in Cooma in 1993. When her supervisor left, Nola stepped up to take on the role of accounts manager and enjoyed the challenge of the task.

Nola says she is sad to leave behind the team at Mitre 10, but that she is also looking forward to her retirement.

With nine precious grandchildren, three of whom arrived this year alone, Nola is eager to spend more time with them and her five children who range from age 44 to 25 years old. All live locally, except for her eldest who is in Canberra.

She is also looking forward to doing some travelling with her husband Kim, who is a

retired police sergeant. Their first trip will be to Canada and Alaska next year.

Nola has seen many of the staff come and go during her time at Mitre 10, but now it is

New learning area for SM Grammar Students and teachers at Snowy Mountains Grammar School in Jindabyne will now have access to new learning facilities with the opening last Friday of a multipurpose learning area

by Federal Member for Eden-Monaro, Peter Hendy.

Dr Hendy said the Australian Government

Better local councils.

Better local services.

Better local infrastructure.

had provided $335,000 in funding from the Capital Grants Program for the new facilities that include multi-purpose learning areas.

Dr Hendy attended the opening on behalf of Senator the Hon Simon Birmingham, Minister for Education and Training.

“I am very pleased to visit Snowy Mountains Grammar and see firsthand the new facilities that students and the whole community will no doubt benefit from using,” Dr Hendy said.

These new learning spaces take into account the latest in education research and will see students learn more effectively.”

Senator Birmingham said the Australian Government was investing a record $69.5 billion – or an extra $4.1 billion – to support government,

independent and Catholic schools over the four years 2014-18.

“As well as delivering increased funding, the Australian Government is strengthening the requirements for teacher literacy and numeracy, and requiring primary school teachers to have specialist skills in Science, Technology, Engineering or Maths (STEM) or languages,” Senator Birmingham said.

“While buildings alone do not make a great school, I hope students and staff will enjoy learning and be inspired by these new facilities.”

The Australian Government is committed to improving the quality of our schools and equipping students with the skills they need to succeed in an increasingly competitive world,” Senator Birmingham said.

Stronger Councils.

Stronger Communities.

New South Wales has a complex system of 152 local councils that was put in place over 100 years ago. The system is broken. After four years of extensive consultation, it’s time to create a network of modern councils that are fit for the 21st century. These new, more effective councils will be able to deliver the improved services and infrastructure that your local community needs and deserves.

Monaro Community Access Service (MCAS) has been providing support services to the Cooma Monaro communities for 30 years this year, and to celebrate, and to increase public awareness and support, they are holding a fundraising night on November 21.

As a result of losing the government tender last year for Specialist Housing Services, the organisation no longer provides crisis accommodation. However MCAS still provide a whole range of support services in the community, including domestic violence support, educational programs, and financial assistance.

With no guarantee of continued government funding, MCAS are now seeking help and support from the local community to ensure these services continue.

A change of name, and a dedicated committee and staff, have shown their commitment to helping those in need in our community.

The aim for the fundraising event is to provide a fun evening with a charity auction and raffle to raise much needed funds to keep the service running.

It will also be a celebration of the 30 years of service already provided to the community, with a presentation of the history of MCAS, and also their future vision and direction.

Local businesses have been very generous with donations of items for our auction and raffle, and MCAS are now asking the wider community to support them too.

Tickets are $45 and are available from Fergusson Real Estate, Cooma Ex-Serviceman Club, or the MCAS office in Lambie Street.

Ticket price includes a welcome glass of champagne, finger food and musical entertainment, as well as the chance to pick up some great items in the auction. A raffle will also be drawn on the night.

Get a group of friends together, join us for a fun evening, and learn more about this important community organisation.

If you are unable to attend, but would like to make a donation, please contact MCAS on 6452 6174, or Heather Anoleck on 0431 35 873.

Come to the Cooma Chris was on ‘The Block’ Public School fete - Nick Chapman

It has been a busy year for Cooma Public School, with the recent school concert, ‘Let’s Dance’ being a huge success they are now gearing up for their fete this Saturday.

Much anticipated, this is the first fete since the 150th Anniversary celebration of the school two years ago, and only the third school fete to be held over the last 15 years.

With heaps of great activities planned, the day will be a blast for the whole family.

There will be great market stalls selling second hand books, veggie and herb seedlings, showbags, Devonshire teas and coffee, white elephant treasures, temporary tattoos and yummy homemade cakes.

You will also be able to order trays of beautiful fresh mangoes direct from Queensland.

With live music, a barbecue, face painting and a jumping castle, it has everything you need for a fun day out with the family.

With all money raised going directly to the school, this is great opportunity to come and show your support.

Cooma Public would like to thank Birdsnest for the beautiful decorations, The Monaro Post for their sponsorship, the many local businesses that have provided such great prizes for the chocolate wheel, all the families that have generously given donations for the event, the hard working P&C committee, especially the president Renee Jones, and of course all of the dedicated staff of Cooma Public.

So come along from 10am to 2pm for a fun-filled day for all the family at Cooma Public School.

For more information about the y, call Renee on 0415 117 789. day,

Manager and part owner of Cooma Mitre 10, Chris Fitzgerald, was on set of the hugely popular TV show ‘The Block’ in August this year.

Chris spent three days in Melbourne, working flat out on the landscaping of the front garden as well as unloading trucks and helping to put the tidying touches on the contestants’ rooms.

He estimates that when he was on set there would be anywhere up to 100 people working at any given time, saying it is amazing how much work gets done there in a day.

While working on set, Chris met the contestants; mostly working with Kingi and Caro, who he considers to be really good down to earth people and hopes they win the competition.

Chris is an avid fan of the show, watching it every night and has enjoyed seeing the progress of the building.

With the final room reveal and the open inspection held over the weekend the site has changed significantly from a mediocre South Yarra hotel in to the luxury apartment block it is now.

“It’s definitely five star. It’s quite interesting to see the developments seeing as you’ve been there,” Chris said.

Chris arranged to work on set through Mitre 10, who sponsors The Block.

“Mitre 10 supports the block through first of all sponsorship but we want to show we’re real people who own our own businesses and we’re helping out with the physical stuff too,” he said.

So Much to Love in Cooma

The Cooma Chamber of Commerce would like to publically congratulate and thank the event organisers, sponsors and volunteers for the Snowy Ride, The Australian National Busking Championships and the Cooma Motorfest held on the weekend.

“These events brought Cooma and the region to life on the weekend and the economic value to Cooma due to events is absolutely critical to the year round success of our town. I commend the Cooma Monaro Shire, Snowy Ride, National Busking Championships and Cooma Monaro Historical Automobile Club for what they have achieved over the weekend” said

Kathy Kelly, President of the Cooma Chamber of Commerce.

“The Snowy Ride, having just completed its 15th year, has seen over 30,000 motor bike riders come to the region and now averages close to 3,000 riders annually.

Cooma should be proud of what they have achieved in supporting the Snowy Ride weekend and creating events to encourage visitors to stop in town” advised Kathy.

The newly named Red Energy Cooma Festival in November will see what has previously been a quiet period turn into an exciting and busy 4 weeks of events and activities which will boost our local

economy. This year the main street was closed between the two major roundabouts to encourage a festive atmosphere. The Chamber will look to measure the success of this initiative with its members and provide feedback for future events.

The Cooma Chamber of Commerce and a number of its retail members support events through promoting the So Much to Love and Love to Shop marketing initiatives including wearing branded t-shirts and displaying decals on shop windows.

“It’s an exciting month with the Snowy Mountains 1000, the

Mt Gladstone Hill Climb and the Cooma Spring Show Jumping Competition amongst others all still to come this month. I look forward to the ongoing success of all the events in November and across the

year” said Kathy.

Now is the time to join the Cooma Chamber of Commerce.

20 years of service to RFS Design a card for local member

over 25 years of emergency service to NSW as a volunteer with the NSW RFS and NSW SES and also as a fulltime NSW Ambulance Officer. “I’ve really enjoyed the last 25 years serving NSW communities and longest of that time has been with the RFS. I’ve made long lasting friendships and have been fortunate enough to have received some world class training over the years.�

During Angus’ service he has been involved in some of NSW’s major emergencies. “I have been to some pretty big jobs, the largest I suppose would be the Thredbo landslide back in 1997. However my first major emergency would probably have been the 1994 statewide bushfires.�

Angus was with the NSW SES as a reconnaissance officer for the RFS working around the bushfires on the northern beaches of Sydney. “My role was to provide intelligence back to Fire Control about roads, bridges and other critical infrastructure under threat or that had already been impacted by fire.�

It was then that Angus decided that he wanted to do more during fire operations and joined the RFS soon after.

“I was still a relatively young, single man at the time, so I was able to manage being both a SES and RFS volunteer at Warringah in Sydney,� he says.

Angus, who is now married with children, works fulltime in Canberra for the Federal Government and said that he really enjoys serving the community and looks forward to many more years of doing so.

Pictured, Jerangle RFS Deputy Captain Angus Fergusson receiving his Long Service Medal from District Manager Jim Darrant.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for students to let their creative abilities flow. The children will have a number of weeks to send in an entry so I hope that lots of schools will take up the challenge and get involved. “I love this time of year and consider this competition one of the most enjoyable parts of my job as I proudly display all the participants work across the windows and walls of my Electorate Office�.

The winning design will front Mr Barilaro’s official Christmas card, printed onto hundreds of cards sent to organisations and individuals.

This year’s theme is ‘A White Christmas’ given that the Monaro contains the stunning Snowy Mountains.

Entries should have the artist’s name, age and school clearly marked on the back of each entry.

All entries must be sent to 110-112 Monaro Street (PO Box 998) Queanbeyan NSW 2620, and received by 5pm on Friday November 20.

First prize winner will receive a $100 gift voucher, second prize $50 and third prize $25.

A presentation for the winning entry will occur at a convenient time in December.

Rotary markets The November market is shaping up to be a great market with lots of new stalls as well as all the regulars.

With such a variety, it will be a great opportunity to find that unusual Christmas gift, or to look for plants for the garden.

The Cooma Band will entertain, and there will be pony rides for the kids.

This is the month Rotary will be holding a Mad Hatters Tea Party

with prizes for the best hat and best outfit.

Rotary will be collecting for mental health research, and we encourage everyone to wear a hat in support of Hat Day. The new Rotary coffee van will be serving barista style coffee at the markets.

As usual, there will be something for everyone.

Angus Fergusson of Jerangle has been awarded a NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) Long Service Medal with clasp for 20 years of service as a volunteer fire fighter.

Angus joined the Warringah Headquarters Brigade of the NSW RFS in Sydney’s northern suburbs in 1995.

Since then, Angus has been a volunteer fire fighter in Gosford and Queanbeyan before moving to the Monaro six years ago. Angus is currently a Deputy Captain with the Jerangle Brigade as well as the brigade’s secretary, first aid officer and training officer. In addition to his functions with his local brigade, Angus also assists the Monaro RFS region as a first aid instructor and aviation safety training instructor. “Angus’ impressive skill set is not only a benefit to the community, but also to his fellow fire fighters,� says District Manager Jim Darrant. “Coming from a very busy Sydney Brigade originally and then Queanbeyan Brigade that is busy all year round with house fires, car accidents and bushfires, it’s been good to take a step back to a quieter and predominantly seasonal brigade,� says Angus.

The Member for Monaro John Barilaro is inviting pre-school and primary school students in the electorate to take part in his annual Christmas card competition.

Launched at Cooma North Public School today with Bronnie Taylor MLC, Mr Barilaro said the 2015 competition is a project giving children in the Monaro electorate the chance to showcase their creativity and talent. “Given the overwhelming response to last year’s completion there is obviously a great deal of creativity in the electorate that needs to be captured,� said Mr Barilaro.

BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ms Ngaire McCrindle With the deadline for the final submission with regards to the State Government’s Fit for the Future reforms fast approaching, Council is continuing to discuss options with the surrounding councils of Snowy River Shire, Cooma Monaro Shire and Bega Valley Shire.

A public meeting will be held at the Bombala RSL Monday 16 November at 7pm to discuss the options available to Council.

Community members are urged to attend this very important meeting.

Council’s Annual Report for 2014-2015 will be presented to Council at the November meeting. I am very pleased with final outcomes for the last financial year. Council had budgeted for an operating deficit of $1.46 million but our final result showed a deficit of only $739,000. The operating deficit is primarily driven by the fact that Council is an asset rich organisation and our depreciation is high. This is a marked improvement on the results for 2013/14 when our final result showed that we had a deficit of $1.5 million.

I would like to thank all staff for their hard work and in particular my management team over the past year as we struggled with Fit for the Future on top of the day to day operations. A huge amount of extra work was undertaken in the preparation of our Fit for the Future submission and our result shows clearly that our plans meet the financial criteria to successful run a rural Council.

Come Along For a Fun Filled Day

Senior Constable Marks helping a student with a shoelace out on the Long Bike Course to avoid any accidents.

The Bombala Public School students participated in a Bike and Bus Safety Day last Thursday, with support from local police, Senior Constable Nathan and Constable Steve, along with Cath Sherwood the Police Liaison Officer.

Throughout the day the students covered various Safety Skills to ensure they remain safe when on their bikes, when travelling on the school bus and general safety within our community.

Each group of students then participated in the Bike Short Course where they were given a bike route to follow with numerous hazard signs in which they had to display their road knowledge and abide by them.

There was also a Bike Long Course which entailed a longer outdoor course with several obstacles to the same effect.

Ms Goodman along with bus driver, Terry Lomas and Constable Steve gave advice on bus safety; this included how to approach the school bus in the safest way possible as well as safety when the

bus is in motion.

The students then went on a small trip around the block to ensure they understood appropriate bus behaviour.

The bike maintenance activity provided students with a basic guide on inflating tyres, correct pressure and general maintenance to help them identify and risks that may cause an accident.

Mrs Moreing quizzed the students on how to handle different circumstances in the pedestrian safety activity. They identified the best way to approach an intersection and how to make use of pedestrian crossings.

Although the weather was challenging, the day was an overall success and the students enjoyed learning and participating in the basics for keeping safe on the road.

A huge thank you to Calli Kidman who organised and served lunch on the day with assistance from Suzy Russell and Jenni Moreing; your efforts were greatly appreciated.

Snowliner’s 2015 Kimberley adventure An early start, no fog on the road but fresh roadkill on our way to Canberra.

Flights all operating to schedule and 15 hours later we arrive in Broome - a balmy 32 degrees.

We are greeted at our hotel and directed to our rooms, a bite to eat then relax in bed Friday most of the group have another big day enjoying the Horizontal Falls.

It is hard to describe the phenomena where the water rushes in and out of a land locked bay. The exhilaration of speeding through the rapids at the change of tides is amazing.

Swimming with the sharks, enjoying the most delicious barramundi for lunch before making our way back to Broome. Just one more of the amazing sights to see in Australia.

Saturday and the Broome Cup is on but no one chooses to go.

A new venture in town is the Pearl Luggers Story.

Did you know that the early years of pearling and diving in the ocean was done by pregnant Aboriginal women and boys under 16, against their will of course.

Next come the Japanese wearing suits for English men of very tall stature (one size fits all). They worked at depths of 25 metres so under the suit was woollen socks (long enough to be up to the armpits) woollen long johns, a polo jumper, all hand knitted, and over these a woollen jacket. It took one and a half hours to get into the suit and they then

dived for 12 hours coming up for a 15 minute rest every two hours.

The stamina of the men is mind boggling. Duration of the career is 10 years. With the suit, boots, helmet and additional weights they added approximately 150kgs to their small body weight. Pearling this way lasted 90 years 18841973.

In 1973 a group of divers with today’s equipment challenged the traditional pearlers to a race to see who could harvest the most mother or pearl shells. Over the period of a day 16 traditional pearlers harvested 5,000 shells. Current day divers, 8 in total, harvested 10,000 shells thereby ending the way shells were harvested.

Approximately one in 2,000 shells produced a pearl which made them very valuable.

With technology that has developed, the majority of shells can now be made to produce a pearl every two years, with four implants being made for the life of the shell. Pearl meat is considered to be an aphrodisiac and is valued at a minimum of $400/kg. We were shown a pearl in the showroom that 20 years ago was valued at $100,000, it was like a giant marble in size, and was freely handed around.

Most gathered at Cable Beach for the wonderful sunset of beautiful colours, while enjoying a glass of wine and nibbles. Anne and Dave met the challenge of a camel ride on Cable Beach and Hazel and

Glynn met up with friends of friends from Cooma.

Our real adventure into the Kimberley region is about to begin with Dan and Steph arriving bright and early for our first day.

All luggage is packed away and Dan breathes a sigh of relief that there are no big suitcases or heavy bags.

Windjana Gorge is our overnight camp and we set up for the night before going to Tunnel Creek.

Claude, our Aboriginal guide, tells stories of the area. How the Aborigines use to help the white man in capturing unruly tribesmen who were housed in the boab Prison Tree near Derby before being transported to Perth. The conditions in this tree would have been horrendous in the heat of the summer. In the end Jandamarra shot his white mate during a stand over period. Jandamarra escaped to the Tunnel Creek area and evaded capture for many years.

A resident fresh water crocodile was seen in the caves, probably hiding from all the visitors. On this occasion all our travellers walked through the cave area.

Back to Windjana Gorge and while Dan and Steph are organising tea we explore the Gorge area. We easily spotted 40 fresh water crocs sunning themselves on the banks - what a waste of water!

The colours on the cliff faces during the sunset were beautiful.

Our first night camping and boy did the temperature drop, extra layers were required during the night.

Monday we make our way to Bell Gorge in the West Kimberley region. A short but energetic walk to the falls had most of us swimming but the swimming hole was difficult to enter owing to the moss covered

rocks. A very elegant entry was made by Gerald and Hazel but no injuries incurred. Silent Grove was our campsite for the night. The stars on display are remarkable.

Up bright and early travelling through the King Leopold Ranges stopping at Galvans Gorge for another swim, the depth of the water is unknown. This is also our first sighting of rock art.

A stop is made at Barnet Roadhouse where most enjoyed an ice cream before travelling on the Barnett Gorge.

Lunch beside the ‘truck’ then we walk into the gorge and what a hidden treasure this is.

The gorge is probably 250m long and I swam most of it, hundreds of bats along one side, high cliffs and I must say I was a bit concerned what was in the depths of the water.

We detoured to the small falls area and were surprised by a Merten’s

Water Monitor, when I say surprised I was almost in the air as I felt something move next to me.

The monitor then lazily stopped beside me so everyone could admire it. It was in the process of shedding its skin.

Mt Elizabeth was our night’s destination where we had rooms and a real bed, what luxury. Dan cooked our dinner under the stars and the night turned quite cool.

Our accommodation and the residence were covered by a shed-like roof with space between allowing for cooling breezes in the summer. Lots of machinery around, wonderful hosts, lyrebirds and even a public telephone.

Pictured above, the group enjoys sunset at Cable Beach, Broome.

Below, the refreshing waters of Galvan’s Gorge.

HSC Group consider their options

Associate Professor Wal Whalley with Year 12 students.

Snowy Mountain Grammar School’s Year 12 students for 2016 had the opportunity to meet with Associate Professor Wal Whalley from the University of New England last Friday as part of the school’s proud association with Robb College at the university.

Professor Whalley is also the Senior Fellow of Robb College, with over 50 years of association with the college.

“SMGS students are always so engaged when I speak with them about the university, the pathways for entry and, the most important thing, the immense opportunities within the residential colleges at UNE – in particular Robb College,” Professor Whalley said.

“The students from SMGS come

to our college with sophisticated study habits, excellent academic discipline and the drive and determination to do well,” he added.

Dr Michael Barton explained the connection between SMGS and Robb College as an important opportunity for SMGS students.

“Our students have many options available to them and I am proud that some choose to participate in regional universities and reside within a college system,” he said.

Dr Barton is also a former Head of Robb College and says the relationship between SMGS and UNE, including Robb College, is very important. “This year we had the pleasure of having Dr Glenn Wilson, the current Head of Robb College, work with our students

over two days as a Scientist in Residence – a program that allowed our students to focus on developing scientific literacy at a tertiary level,” he said.

Dr Darryl Nelson, Head of Faculty of Science and Technology at SMGS, says that members of the Robb College senior common room will be working with students in 2016 under the Academy of Excellence model developed for the School of Sciences. “SMGS students, from Year 7, will be given the opportunity to be mentored by a practising scientist as they develop their own action research during the course of the year. I am really excited about the potential of this program,” he said.

DO YOU OWN LAND IN THE SHIRE Owners of land in Cooma Shire are reminded that all land owned by you must be kept in a safe and healthy state.

Vacant land or premises which have been vacated are required to be maintained and not become overgrown and a site for storage of waste materials.

Council is often called to assist where property is left unattended and long

grass becomes a potential fire danger.

Problems also arise where waste and building materials are accumulated on land and provide a harbour for vermin.

All property owners/ developers within the shire are requested to conduct regular maintenance on their properties to ensure they remain in a safe and healthy state as we near summer.

MEMORIAL STREET SIGNS Council has completed the installation of street signs which were named in memory of servicemen who have lost their lives in the 1st & 2nd World Wars. The project was initiated by a local resident Mr Ross Johnson who knew some of the men when he was a youngster.

He was particularly pleased with the sign on Church Rd as it recognises that the road was named after Alexander Church rather than the common misconception that it is so named because of the Church on Myalla Rd. It was Ross’s connection with the Church family that prompted him to approach Council. A map showing the locations of the signs can be found on Council’s website Pictured are Fay Govett, from Cooma Monaro Shire Council, who undertook research for the project, Deputy Mayor Clr Rogan Corbett and Mr Ross Johnson.

Beccy Cole coming to Cooma This weekend, Australian country singer Beccy Cole will be performing at the Cooma Ex-Services Club.

Touring around the country promoting not only her new album ‘Sweet Rebecca’, but also her autobiography called ‘Poster Girl’, Ms Cole says she is looking forward to coming to Cooma. “I have performed in Cooma before, and it is one of my favourite places to visit,� she says.

Ms Cole has always loved visiting smaller towns on her tour, and says she finds the tour to be more successful when she does. “I love the intimacy of smaller

MHS year of 1975 reunion On Saturday night of the October long weekend, over 70 students (including some partners) from the Monaro High School class of 70-75 got together for their first reunion at the Cooma Bowling Club. It was a fantastic night with everyone excited to see each other again.

On the Sunday over 50 turned up for breakfast at the 2 Vaults CafĂŠ.

This was followed by a tour of Monaro High School which was the first time most had been back since their school years. A small group continued on at the bowling club in the afternoon and then dinner in the evening. Everyone was sad to say goodbye and are looking forward to the next

‘Sweet Rebecca’ is Ms Cole’s tenth studio album and features hit songs including ‘Broken Soldiers’ and ‘Precious Times’ which features Sara Storer and Gina Jeffreys.

A nine time Golden Guitar winner, Ms Cole has been at the fore of Australian country music landscape for the past 20 years. She has achieved three Gold records, 14 Australian Country Chart number one singles, seven Songwriting Awards, and claimed two Entertainer of the Year awards.

Set to be a great night of music and laughter, the show is from 8pm to 11pm on Friday 13 November at the Cooma Ex Services Club. Tickets are $30 for adults and $15 for children.

For more information, call the Club on 6452 1144.

venues,� she says, “And I really enjoy including smaller towns in my tour because the audience is always very appreciative. But the bigger venues are very exciting too. I love all levels of performance and despite the hard work touring involves, I always feel blessed when I walk out on that stage and get to make people feel happy.�

For the first time, Ms Cole has written every track on her new album.

Working on her autobiography, Ms Cole says ‘Sweet Rebecca’ is a lot more personal than her previous work. “Reflecting on memories of good time and hard times for the book was a real inspiration for song ideas,� she says, “I really loved the process of writing the book, but it was also a lot of hard work and I was quite relieved when it was finished.�

The K12 class at Delegate Public School are thoroughly enjoying their integrated unit titled ‘Under the Sea’.

The students have their own aquarium, with two fish named Harry and Potter, who they care for on a daily basis.

During Literacy groups students are making predictions, reading, clarifying concepts and learning about sea creatures, the beach and the ocean floor.

Students have also been participating in open-ended discussions about ocean care, and making some brilliant suggestions.

They have enjoyed using the fish tank during Numeracy lessons as well to gain a deeper understanding around volume and capacity.

The class are looking forward to an upcoming excursion to the Sapphire Coast Marine Centre with Bombala Public School.

THE MEN FROM SNOWY RIVER MARCH

Photos on this page from Bombala, Mila, Craigie and Nimmitabel marches and ceremonies.

THE MEN FROM SNOWY RIVER MARCH

Cooma’s march last Thursday was accompanied by drizzle, but Cooma Public and St Patrick’s schools turned out to cheer on the marchers.

At the Cenotaph, the Snowy Mob, the march choir, performed a couple of songs.

THE MEN FROM SNOWY RIVER MARCH

On Friday morning, the march travelled from Dromore Station to Bredbo and then onto Michelago, Queanbeyan, Taralga, Bungendore and Goulburn. Today the marchers will join other marches from around NSW to commemorate Remembrance Day in Sydney. Pictured above and below, the march at Dromore Station.

Cooma hosted the formal dinner on Thursday night.

Descendants of Ernest Corey MM and three bars Tony and John Corey attended.

Middle left: Guest speaker at the dinner was historian Bill Fogarty.

Tomorrow the Men from Snowy River March re-enactment will complete its journey at the Sydney Remembrance day commemoration.

The march stepped off from Delegate on Sunday November 1 and travelled though local towns, following a similar route to the original March in 1916.

Marchers were accompanied on the way by members of the Bemboka Light Horse Troop and the Snowy Mob, a choir raised especially for the march.

Each town held its own ceremony, remembering its diggers who signed on for King and country to fight the ‘war to end all wars’.

The march also observed historic moments which have been recorded in a book complied by Natalie Armstrong OAM, of Delegate “The Men From Snowy River March’.

These locations included the old abattoir at Nimmitabel, Cooma Showground and Dromore Station.

The re-enactment also emulated the original march in another way – according to reports on the book, the marchers were heartily fed every step of the way, with the women of Monaro enthusiastically cooking meals and morning and afternoon tea for the men en route. Another account of the march comes from the story of Lance Corporal Vincent Longhurst, great-uncle of Cooma resident Peter Longhurst.

Vincent, from Pambula, joined the march at Bombala on January 9, 1916, aged 21 years and two months.

In a letter to friends he recounted his experience. ”On Saturday afternoon P Mock and myself with some of the Bombala boys went out to Maharatta bridge from

Bombala in Kennedy Bros motor car, where the loveliest dinner I ever sat down to in my life was awaiting us; it was spread out under the bridge by the ladies of Maharatta. You talk about tucker, we are fed up to the eyes. We had a right royal reception on coming to Bombala; all along the route the

ladies are very enthusiastic, but the men are very backward in coming forward.

“We left Bombala on Monday afternoon about 60 strong with 40 more waiting for us at Cooma, where we are due on Saturday. After leaving Bibbenluke we marched eight miles and had lunch at Native Dog Creek. We passed along a lovely blue metal road and fertile country, with waving grass. About a mile before, reaching the creek we had a splendid view of

the Snowy Mountains (I was going to say daisies).

“After lunch we marched on to Holt’s Flat, five miles, where we had another reception. There is only one house there – the post office, but the people came in from all around and provided us with a lovely tea and breakfast next morning.

After breakfast we left for McLaughlan’s Creek where a lot of people came out from Nimmitabel, 4 miles, and placed a sumptuous lunch in front of us. After lunch we went on to Nimmitabel where we had another bosker banquet after which we danced until 8pm then went to a picture show and this morning, after drill, had another dance. This life is glorious and I advise everyone to hurry up and join us, as it is one big picnic.

“The people are overjoyed to see us. Today (Jan 13) we march to Summer Hill, 4 miles. This is the routine: Reville at 6am, hot coffee at 6.10, fall in for drill at 6.30 an hour then breakfast at 8. After breakfast, pack up ‘bluey’ for transport and ready to move off at 9am”.

Vincent spent his time training at Goulburn after the march reached there on January 28. He embarked at Sydney on September 4 1916 on board the HMAT A15 Port Sydney and disembarked at Plymouth on October 29.

On December 14, Vincent proceeded overseas via Folkestone on board the SS Princess Henrietta. He joined the 55th Battalion on December 24 and promoted to Lance Corporal on February 21 1917.

Three months later he was wounded in action and died the next day, from his injuries.

He is buried in the Grevillers British Cemetery

More than 2700 riders in Snowy Ride 2015

Cooma Car Club members helped pick up and drive children involved in the ride at Thredbo. The scene in Sharp Street, Cooma, on Friday afternoon.

Left: Mery Raynor of Candelo and Bill Guthrie of Delegate shared in the companionship of the Snowy Ride. Middle: The busy check-in in Centennial Park on Friday, Right: Bombala riders, Rudi Wertenbach, Eric Edgecombe, Pat Lomas, Merv Raynor (Candelo) and Darren Cotterill took part in Saturday’s Snowy Ride.

The Cooma Motor Fest was another busy check-in point on Saturday.

Nick Chapman The 15th annual Honda Snowy Ride took place on Saturday November 7 and has been hailed as a success by police and organisers.

The ride is organised to help raise funds for the Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation, this year raising almost $250,000.

The event attracted an estimated 2700 riders and pillions, travelling through the Snowy Mountains and convening in Thredbo on Saturday night.

Steven Walter, who was an avid motorcycle fan, passed away at age 19 after an eightyear battle with cancer. Before he died, he asked his friends and family to do what they could to raise money for childhood cancer. They came up with the idea for the Snowy Ride and

have since raised close to six million dollars over 15 years and attracted thousands of riders to the area.

“Fifteen years on from Steve’s passing and the Snowy Ride is still attracting riders from all walks of life to contribute to our vital cause. I think Steve would be so proud of what is being achieved in his memory,” said Sue Walter, Director of the Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation.

The foundation also assists families of a child suffering from cancer by hosting them in Thredbo and offering them a small break from their regular routine.

“We hosted six families this year and they’ve had a ball with helicopter rides courtesy of the Royal Australian Navy, motorcycle rides thanks to the Australian Goldwing Association and plenty of other great

activities. The families are cared for by a dedicated group of volunteers and the program is generously sponsored by Snowy Hydro.” Sue said.

Aside from raising money for the charity, visitors for the Snowy Ride inject a healthy amount of money in to the local economy, as it is the biggest event in the Snowy Mountains region outside of the ski season.

Monaro police are considering the event a success, issuing a press release thanking the public and everyone involved in the 2015 Snowy Ride.

“A high[ly] visible police presence in the Alpine area over the weekend enabled a safe journey for most riders, and police thank the vast majority of riders and the local community for sharing the road safely and adhering to the road rules,” the release said.

Have yourself a debt free Christmas Christmas is one of the most enjoyable times of the year, though for many, the costs associated with the festive period can cause a great deal of stress.

In an effort to keep the stress at bay during the holiday season, Mortgage Choice CEO John Flavell encourages Australians to plan ahead financially to ensure the budget doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blow out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rising cost of living is no doubt a big stress factor for many Australians. In fact, results from our recent Money Survey found 85.6% of Australians felt their cost of living had risen over the last 12 months. As such, it is extremely important for Australians to take this information as forewarning and put a financial plan in place before the silly season kicks off,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting into the Christmas spirit doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you have to get into debt. No one wants to start the New Year on the back foot, so it pays to do a budget early so you know how much you can afford.

Mortgage Choice offers the following tips to help Australians prepare for the Christmas season and keep their finances in check: Budget now: There are eight weeks from now until Christmas. Work out how much you can afford to put away each week between now and then to cover gifts, food,

entertaining and travel expenses for the silly season. Then calculate the total figure you will have to spend this Christmas and allocate funds for each type of expense.

Credit free Christmas: Think of long term gains, instead of short term pleasures. According to Mortgage Choiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest Money Survey, one in two Australians have some form of credit card debt. Make sure Christmas doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break the bank â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford something, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy it. Christmas may look a little more festive with those new decorations, but come January they will be a financial burden. One way to make sure you stick to this is by leaving the cards at home and only taking cash with you when shopping.

Purchase with purpose: Work out what gifts you are buying for each friend and family member before you go shopping. That way you can compare prices online and work out which stores you are visiting before you hit the shops.

You may even be able to buy some gifts online, but just be aware of potential shipping costs. Shopping with a purpose and clear plan in mind will also help reduce unnecessary purchases or expenses like coffee or lunch.

or pet? For most Australians, purchasing all these gifts is not only time consuming, but a financial pressure. Consider having an open conversation with your family around the idea of having a lucky dip, secret Santa, or at least agree on a maximum dollar figure that can be spent on each personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s present.

Review your lender: One way to potentially inject more money into your coffers this Christmas and help you cope with the costs of the silly season, is to review your lender. If you have been with the same lender since you got your first job, then it might be time to consider switching to another bank. Not only are some banks offering dollar incentives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as $100 into your savings account â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if you switch, but they also have high interest rate savings accounts, so you could earn more money on the cash you have in your savings account. This could be extra money for the Christmas gift fund. If you do switch lenders, make sure you read the fine print, as you may find that your lender will offer you dollar incentives for depositing a certain amount of money into your account each month or withdrawing a certain amount of money from the ATM each time.

Family expectations: Is there a trend within your family to buy a Christmas present for every niece, nephew, in-law

Ag post grad training sets foundations for excellence The future drivers of agricultural innovation are this week in Sydney undertaking intensive training in scientific writing to ensure their research and reporting papers meet world standards.

The post-graduate professional development course for livestock industry researchers is being led by internationally renowned trainer Prof. David Lindsay, author of the benchmark publication ‘A Guide to Scientific Writing’.

The Post Graduate Program Leader Dr Graham Gardner said the annual course rotated its content over a three-year cycle to ensure the young scientists were trained in communication and how to ensure their research findings are applied in the real world, as well as this week’s unit on scientific writing.

“This is a vital component of the training program as it emphasises the importance of peer-reviewed publications as the foundation for all science-based industry products and information,” Dr Gardner said.

“If scientific research is not written and presented to their peers for review in the proper format that showcases the processes used and the rigour of the findings, then the chances are slim for that research to ever be widely accepted and adopted within industry. These young scientists are lucky to have access to advice from a world leader in this field.”

It is the fifth time over the last 15 years that Prof. Lindsay has provided training as part of the livestock industries post-graduate training program.

The 22 student researchers attending this week have been sponsored by industry bodies including the Cooperative Research Centre for Sheep Industry Innovation (Sheep CRC), the Pork CRC, Australian Pork Ltd (APL), Meat and Livestock Australia

(MLA), and the Australian Meat Processor Corporation (AMPC).

Dr Gardner said the training would benefit the livestock sector for years to come as meeting the quality control standards of peer-reviewed publications directly enhanced the standard of research, the effectiveness of new products and the credibility of the scientists.

“These skills are absolutely fundamental to the future career success of young scientists,” he said. “By understanding the importance of peer-reviewed publications to support scientific claims and assertions, the young researchers also develop important skills in evaluating claims and recommendations made by others, and therefore probe more effectively for solid evidence.”

As part of their training the students have presented their research to a panel of seven veterans of agricultural research.

Murdoch University post-grad Sarah Stewart described the training as a “once in a lifetime opportunity” for young scientists to tap into that level of expertise and critical feedback.

Ms Stewart, whose post-graduate research is sponsored by Sheep CRC’s Participant organisation AMPC, is studying the effect of pre-slaughter stress on lamb quality as part of a research collaboration accessing data from the Sheep CRC’s Resource Flocks.

“With any industry funded project the ultimate goal is adoption by end users, and clear and credible scientific writing is vital to communicating your findings to the industry and encouraging uptake,” she said. “Having an industry run conference such as this is really inspiring as it opens your eyes to the career possibilities, particularly when you’re surrounded by experienced researchers with such a passion for agriculture – we could be

those industry leaders one day.”

Similarly, CQUniversity Australia postgraduate Don Menzies said that in an era of strict accountability for industry investments, it was important for young researchers to continually improve their communication skills, both orally and in written form.

Through his MLA sponsored project, Mr Menzies is researching the use of technologies which can record reproductive performance and report that trait data back to the stud stock sector to improve breeding selections and improve labour productivity.

“This conference has been very helpful and informative and we’re picking up lots of valuable insights from some very experienced scientists on how to ensure our research is picked up and adopted by industry,” he said.

The Sheep CRC each year sponsors a number of post-graduate students to undertake supervised research and it is currently advertising for students to apply for

next year’s intake, with applications closing on November 20.

Graduate tracking surveys completed between 2009 and 2013 demonstrated that 70% of postgraduates who have participated in the program have since found employment directly within the sheep and cattle industries, and that 90% have been retained more broadly within agriculture.

The Sheep CRC operates as part of the Federal Department of Industry, Innovation and Science’s CRC program.

It is a collaboration of 40 organisations from across industry, government and the commercial sector, and includes producer groups, farm advisers, universities and research organisations, meat processors and retailers.

Applications close November 20 for Sheep CRC sponspored post-graduate training scholarships. More information is available at www.sheepcrc.org.au.

Farmers’ experience unique challenges to wellbeing - study A new report by the University of Canberra shows that while Australian farmers are economically efficient producers, they also experience unique challenges to their wellbeing.

The Farmers and Agriculture report author Dr Jacki Schirmer drew on data from 3,700 Australian farmers who took part in the 2014 Regional Wellbeing Survey to produce a snapshot of how those

who work the land for a living are coping.

“While many Australian farmers are going well, with positive wellbeing and experiencing good farming conditions, that’s not the case

for everyone,” Dr Schirmer said. “What is particularly concerning is that farmers are twice as likely as those outside farming to be experiencing moderate to high levels of psychological distress.

“The data shows that farmers in Queensland, much of which is currently experiencing

severe drought, as well as crop growers, wine grape, and other fruit and vegetable growers and those making a loss on the farm are more likely to be suffering high psychological distress.”

Dr Schirmer said the financial situation on the farm is important to wellbeing.

“Just under half of all

our farmers surveyed are profitable and another 20 per cent is covering their costs, but about 32 per cent is losing money each year and finding it hard to service their debts,” she said.

The report shows farmers commonly report facing numerous barriers to the successful development of their farm, including: · rising input costs (82 per cent of Australian farmers) · falling prices (74 per cent) · drought (70 per cent) · lack of adequate telecommunications infrastructure (63 per cent) · red tape (62 per cent) · rising electricity costs (62 per cent) Among farmers in northern New South Wales and Queensland, the effects of the current drought topped the list of challenges their farm faces and these farmers reported higher levels of distress and financial problems.

Dr Schirmer added

that more than a quarter of the farmers surveyed said they are likely to leave farming in the next five years; this was particularly high among wine grape growers.

“In 2014, many wine grape growers were experiencing difficult times, while dairy farmers and rice growers were more likely to be doing well.

“We also surveyed more than 600 people who had recently left their farm: 83 per cent felt that leaving was the right move for them, and only 19 per cent wished they hadn’t left farming,” Dr Schirmer said. “More than half reported that leaving the farm was a stressful experience.”

The 2015 Regional Wellbeing Survey is now open, and Australians living in rural and regional areas are encouraged to take part by completing the survey at www. regionalwellbeing.org. au, or by calling 1800 981 499 to have a copy of the survey posted to them.

New generation , different gender of wild dog controllers

Aleshia Lancaster and Jo Rees didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate when offered the chance to refine their wild dog control skills as part of a new capacity-building program run by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP).

The two young women are employed by DELWP as Field Services Officers and their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;normalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; duties include fire track maintenance and planned burning operations.

Aleshia said: â&#x20AC;&#x153; I grew up in Benambra where my parents were forced out of sheep as a result of wild dogs, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been interested in how to control them. When the opportunity came up, I put my hand up.â&#x20AC;?

Jo said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interest Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had for a while and I enjoy getting out and about and involved with local landholders and the community.â&#x20AC;?

Along with 24 other field services officers, Aleshia

and Jo both received training in trapping and baiting and Aleshia in firearms too. Both have also achieved their 1080 baiting accreditation.

For the past 12 months, they have been working alongside experienced wild dog controllers, learning the ropes and a few â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tricks of the tradeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Aleshia is full of praise for the program, which has been designed to help â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fill in the gapsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; when wild dog controllers are busy or on leave, and also forms part of a longer-term succession plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I particularly enjoy the mentoring and assistance provided by the more experienced wild dog controllers who have been very open and willing to share their knowledge with us.â&#x20AC;?

DELWP is committed to achieving greater gender diversity within department roles to support a more diverse workforce which better reflects the community we serve.

Schute Bell wool report After an extremely positive previous fortnight the mood in the market place changed again. Falls were registered over both selling days.

These centred on the mid micron Merino fleece types with losses of around 20 to 40 cents.

Superfine types were well supported throughout the week registering little change as were Merino skirtings. 41,286 bales were sold nationally for the week with the passed in rate climbing to 14.6%.

Major buyers included Chinatex, Techwool and Lempriere. Exchange rates moved against the market as the Aussie dollar climbed higher against the US. The biggest factor weighing on the market this week appears to be the sharp jump in the rostered quantity available for next week.

Over 49,500 bales are expected to be offered which is a 17% or more than 7,000 bale increase on last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preliminary figures.

It is not unusual to see these larger offerings at this time of year as its traditionally a peak period but the sharp jump in expected offerings may have surprised a few.

After a flurry of activity in the forward market the previous fortnight trades became almost nonexistent this week as buyers and sellers played a

waiting game.

This Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sales 49,566 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 11,736 in Sydney. Schute Bell is selling on Thursday the 12th and Wool Auctions, Goddard and Monaro Wool are selling today.

Bombala celebrates the Cup Fashions of the Field winner, Julie Jones (centre) with Julie Kimber and Rose Goodyer on Melbourne Cup Day.

Below: Lou Joseph and Sue Robinson shared Melbourne Cup Day at Currawarna Aged Hostel.

SIR WILLIAM HUDSON

MEMORIAL CENTRE AGED CARE FACILITY

Monday November 30th SWHMC will be holding its Annual General Meeting and we would love as many community members and representatives of residents to attend. It is important to note that to be able to cast a vote at the meeting you would need to be a member of the Company. Application forms to join the Company are available at the reception desk and need to be accepted by the Board before the AGM. The Board will be sitting the week prior to the Annual General Meeting so there is time available to become a member and be able to have a vote for who will be representing your family on the Board. There is also time to consider nominating YOURSELF to stand for election for a position on the Board.

During the year SWHMC have two major fundraising events with our annual Fete and the Melbourne Cup fundraiser. It is hoped that a committee may be formed of Company members and members of the community to help with the running of these two events. If you do not feel that you would like the monthly commitment of being a Board Member perhaps the fundraising committee is for you?

Below right: Colleen Rowley got into the spirit during Currawarna’s Melbourne Cup activities.

Below: Leila DeCosta modelled her handmade fascinator on Cup Day.

Congratulations to the following people for drawing the first three horses past the post in our Melbourne Cup Fundraiser, Mr. Jorgensen, Heather and Roger Haylock and Valerie Smith. A huge big thank you to all of the lovely people in our community for your generosity buying tickets and the support shown to SWHMC Have you ever considered how many people work at SWHMC? How many carers, nurses, cleaners, aides, cooks and kitchen staff, administration and laundry staff, volunteers? How many people are involved in the daily care and comfort giving of our residents? We are blessed with really fantastic people who make the difference every single day and night to the quality of the lives of our residents.

It is very sad that we are losing one of our favorite members of staff.

This month Graham Wecker has worked his last shift at SWHMC and we will miss him immensely. His depth of knowledge in aged care is only a small part of what makes Graham so special, he will always be remembered for the caring and compassionate manner that he showed to our residents and their families. We wish Graham the best for his future and his new job.

Whether you were a winner or a loser in the Melbourne Cup this year, chances are you had a cheerful afternoon, with many locals getting into the spirit of Cup Day in Bombala.

Some businesses jumped on board with race decorations and even a few fascinators, and there was definitely an air of fun about the Tuesday.

Currawarna Aged Hostel was particularly

enthusiastic about Cup Day this year, with residents and staff modelling some homemade millinery and enjoying a champagne lunch.

The Bombala RSL Club made the most of the occasion too, with a Calcutta and sweepstakes beforehand, while many rolled up for Fashions of the Field, lunch and a view of the big screen on the day.

Get ready for Relay for It’s Showtime Life at Bombala

Sir William Hudson Memorial Centre welcomes two new residents in October and sadly farewells Mr. Norm Devereux and Mrs. Joan Tozer.

The month is already zapping by, and readers are reminded that Bombala’s Relay for Life is approaching on November 28 and 29.

In particular, organisers are very eager to spread the word on the very special Carers and Survivors Walk of the relay.

This is a lap of honour around the oval which will follow the opening ceremony, with those who take part as a carer or survivor being treated to this special recognition with a sash, as well as sharing in a complimentary morning tea.

The opening ceremony will begin at 9am, with the Carers and Survivors Walk to take place at 10am.

Invitations can be found at the doctor’s surgery, hospital and chemist in Bombala, but all who are affected by cancer as either a carer or a survivor are warmly urged to join in.

You can find out more about this lap of honour by contacting Billie on 0427 585 340 or simply turn up and be a part of this wonderful event in Bombala on November 28.

In true Relay for Life style there will be plenty of teams dressing up over the weekend, and there’ll be everything from Christmas carols to a visit from the Melanoma Man on the cards, so mark the weekend in your diary!

Get ready, Bombala, the 21st annual Monaro Dance Centre concert is on this Sunday.

The centre first started operating in Bombala in 1995, and would love for the community to come and celebrate 21 years of local students performing.

This year’s theme is “Show and Tell” and the concert will showcase dancers from ages three to 16 performing in all different styles of dance, including Classical Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Contemporary.

The show will be enjoyed this coming Sunday, November 15 at the Bombala High School Hall from 2pm.

Tickets are $18 per adult and $14 per child, and are available for preorder by calling 0411 233 189 or can be purchased at the door.

Cecil Brown winners

The winners of the 2015 Cecil Brown scholarship and New Zealand exchange were announced at the recent Hazeldean 150th Anniversary Ram Sale. 20-year-old Edward Thomas landed the New Zealand exchange and 19-year-old Harry Fletcher secured the $2000 scholarship.

Edward is a technical services wool representative at Jemalong Wool in Cooma. After coming from Camden to the Cooma area for work experience, Edward returned to take the Jemalong role 18 months ago. Edward says he is really enjoying working at Jemalong where he is currently doing a traineeship, working towards a Certificate 4 in Wool Classing through TAFE in Cooma. Set to finish that in February, Edward says he loves the continual learning experience of his role, and enjoys travelling to Sydney for auctions each week.

Edward submitted his application and went through an interview process to secure the Cecil Brown award, which is aimed at encouraging young people to establish a successful career in Australian agriculture.

“The reason I applied was to help propel me in my career,” says Edward, “I’m always looking to learn more and am really looking forward to going to New Zealand to see the Young Harry Fletcher won the Cecil Brown farming practices over there and further my understanding of how the sheep and wool scholarship to go towards his industry works.”

Agriculture Science and Law studies.

Edward will visit five to seven farms in Otago He is pictured here with his dog, Jet. on the South Island of New Zealand to partake

in a working and learning experience aimed at furthering knowledge for young people in the sheep and wool industries.

Harry Fletcher grew up on ‘Sentonville’ near Eucumbene with parents Timothy and Pamela.

Having always had an interest in agriculture, Harry finished school at St Gregory’s College in Campbelltown and has just done a gap year working at Monbeef. He is currently working for the Department of Agriculture, mainly doing soil sampling for carbon. He will begin a double degree in agricultural science and law next year at the University of New England in Armidale.

Harry says he hopes to get into export contracts, promoting Australia’s agriculture in an overseas market, and believes that his double degree will help him gain a good understanding of the process involved.

“I would like to thank the Litchfield family for their sponsorship of the memorial scholarship and their continued support for young people in agriculture,” says Harry.

Sam Green, Manager at Elders in Cooma, conducted the interviews and said that both boys did extremely well and he was impressed with their applications.

“The standard of applicants was very high this year, so the boys have done well to come out on top,” says Mr Green, “Both came across as very enthusiastic in their interviews and obviously have a passion for the industry.”

Edward Thomas of Jemalong Wool was the winner of the Cecil Brown New Zealand exchange award.

Tolina on Outward Bound Local Jindabyne girl, Tolina Davis, recently took part in Outward Bound, an outdoor education experience aimed at taking young people on a physical and mental journey of discovery and personal growth.

Tolina is a 16-year-old student at Snowy Mountains Grammar School.

Having heard about the program in the school newsletter and hearing of the experience some of her friends had, she decided to give it a go.

From September 22 to October 3, Tolina and her fellow Outward Bounders travelled 67km, rafting for 32km. They also took part in rock climbing, abseiling and, Tolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite, caving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a moment after we had abseiled down into a cave where we were told to turn our torches off to experience what it is like to be completely blind,â&#x20AC;? said Tolina, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pitch black was incredible and was a really influential experience.â&#x20AC;?

Tolina says that she thoroughly enjoyed Outward Bound and would encourage other students to take part if they have the opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over 12 days strong bonds were formed, great memories were made, personal boundaries were extended and I became determined never to doubt,

revelation. I had the opportunity to choose to push hard, to learn and to strive and I took it. I was able to find my physical and mental comfort zones and extend them in a safe, constructive environment.â&#x20AC;?

For those willing to give Outward Bound a try, Tolina has this advice - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seize this opportunity and make it what you most want it to be. Become better

than the person you thought you were learn, explore, adventure and challenge what you know and discover what you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth the effort!â&#x20AC;?

Outward Bound has spurred on Tolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership skills, and she plans on running for School Captaincy as a senior at school.

She is also currently working towards her Duke of Edinburgh Award and plans to chase down a career in aviation or interior architecture once she finishes school.

or put limitations on myself,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Outward Bound you find strength in yourself, and help to find it in those around you. This combined strength then allows the team to move forward and achieve together what could be seen as individually unrealistic or unobtainable goals.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be bumps, bruises, tears and sweat, but there is no better feeling than to take your pack off at the end of the day, look at the map, look at your surroundings and realise your accomplishments, both personally and as a team.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have an experience like this was a

Bombala Bike show on Saturday Men of league donation

You can almost hear them coming now!

A massive swarm of bikes roaring into the area for the Bombala Bike Show, which will burst into life this coming Saturday, November 14.

And the Bike Show is set to return to its roots this weekend, with the popular event unfolding for free in Therry Street, just behind the main drag.

The show was originally held behind the local pubs and this move definitely brings it back to its beginnings, but with more attractions than it ever offered in its formative years in the early 90s.

Of course the Show n Shine will be the backbone of the Bike Show again this year, with hundreds of gleaming bikes lining up to be admired and judged.

You’ll have the chance to vote for your favourite in the ultra popular People’s Choice Award, and there’ll be a large series of trophies up for grabs for the most impressive machines.

Visitors can drool over everything from the painted up Harleys to Japanese and Euro bikes, with a fascinating mix of vintage, trail bikes and even trikes on show. And that’s only mentioning a few of the categories!

Once you’ve spent some time looking the bikes over and talking to some of the owners, there’s plenty more to see and do, with the RAMPT miniFX display being top of the list.

RAMPT have developed the most entertaining and jaw dropping performances in Mini FMX, with World

Bombala mayor Bob Stewart with last year’s winner.

Record holding riders and an endless bag of tricks set to be unleashed at the Bike Show several times throughout the day.

There’ll also be some novelties to get stuck into, with the Loudest Bike Comp sure to be a crowd pleaser, as will the the junior and senior Tyre Toss.

There’ll even be some car action to be enjoyed at this year’s show, with a Holden vs Ford endurance trial taking place right throughout the day, where the crowd can “wager” which one will make the longest distance without either water or oil.

Of course there’ll be a big selection of stalls adding to the event, whether you’re interested in checking out the latest motorcycle models and gear, or are just keen to wander through and do some market shopping or even have your face painted!

Don’t forget, with the change of venue this awesome event is now completely free, and it’s all about not only enjoying the Bike Show itself, but also everything else Bombala has to offer.

With that in mind, the official program finishes up at 5pm, and the rest of the celebrating will take place in Bombala’s watering holes and eateries, which will be alive with music and mayhem as the town welcomes in its visitors for the Bike Show.

Still want to find out more? You can check out www.bombalabikeshow.com.au or simply rock up to Bombala this coming Saturday, November 14 and start soaking up the atmosphere!

Bombala’s Men of League has raised another $950, with the group’s Tommy Herbert, Leanne Johnson, John Bedingfield and Colin Ryan pictured here with supporter, Kellie Power of IGA. The Men of League Foundation has become an important charity group in the Bombala district, and have just raised another $950 to put back into the wider community.

The local Men of League crew raised the funds through catering for the recent Niven property clearing sale in Bombala, as well as through raffle ticket sales and individual donations.

Thanks goes to Landmark Bombala for the opportunity to cater the sale, with the Men of League also wishing Ian and Janet Niven all the best in their retirement.

The group is now looking forward to its Charity Golf Day to be held in Delegate on Saturday, November 21, with absolutely everyone invited to come along and enjoy a friendly round of golf for a good cause.

Participants will hit off to play nine holes at approximately 12noon, and will also enjoy lunch, with the day costing just $25 a head including the meal.

Players need to have their names in by Friday, November 20 by calling

Graeme Payten on 6458 8091, Coopy Baker on 6458 8115 or Tommy Herbert on 0419 215 103.

The local Men of League are also always eager to welcome more members on board, and remind the community that women are warmly invited to become members and add to the strength of the group. Enquiries can be made through Tommy on the number above.

After all, the Men of League is all about helping those who have come upon hard times, with their funds going towards assisting those in need who have had any involvement in rugby league, however slight, throughout their lives.

We’re talking practically everyone, from past and present players and officials, to those who simply support the game, so the more members to raise funds, the better!

Thanks once again goes to IGA Bombala and other local district businesses for their ongoing support, with the Men of League also wishing Billy Callaway all of the best following his recent operation.

Triumph for local apprentice lady jockey Melbourne Cup day may have focused on Michelle Payne and her triumph for women in the sport of racing, but closer to home it was Apprentice Jockey Melinda Kinny who was making a name for herself at the Sapphire Coast race-meeting.

Kinny rode a double on the day including on Red Hot Tango raced

by Karen Warner and trained at Moruya by Debi-lee Saxton. Kinny was very keen on the horse’s chances and rode it with confidence to lead for the 1200 metre journey of the Class 2 Plate, giving nothing else a chance to score by two lengths.

Red Hot Tango was bred by the owner and had to overcome

some significant health issues as a yearling, but patience by the owner and the trainer is now paying off with a win at Moruya preceding last weeks success. Kinny’s other win on the day was aboard She’s Back, also trained at Moruya by Debi-lee Saxton.

The Bob Kimber trained Ash ‘n’ Ell was coming off a close up second at the Bombala Cup meeting when she also won at the Sapphire Coast. Ridden by jockey Troy Phillips, Ash ‘n’ Ell gave some indication that, having got her maiden win behind her, more wins could be in store to repay the patience of the owners, in particular her trackwork rider “Skeety” Walder.

Cricket across Monaro Bocce Club’s big weekend A busy weekend of cricket saw four rep teams compete on Sunday along with the regular local competition on Saturday.

Dalgety (181) defeated The Aussie (180) in an absolute nail biter at Snowy.

Dalgety won the toss and elected to bat first, starting well with a solid opening partnership of 88 between Hogan and Taylor.

Wood and Asanovski were the pick of The Aussie’s bowlers taking 2/28 and 2/31 respectively.

The Aussie answered well with Hynes scoring 36, however some tight bowling from Hogan (4/9) and Jones (2/34) forced a collapse in the batting order.

Chris Koury steadied the innings scoring 51 but was dismissed with 13 runs to go and only one wicket in hand.

Remy Oldrey and Russ Haylock faced the last over giving everything to finish just shy of the total on 180.

Coffey’s (221) beat an understrength Berridale (96) at Berridale in their first win of the season.

Coffey’s batted first and faced some pressure from the opening pair of James Cahill and Declan Gregory until Zach Smith came through topping the run score with a brilliant 114.

Berridale tried hard to respond with Ben Hearn looking solid, but he couldn’t do enough to save the innings and they were all out in the 37th over.

Nathan Thompson (3/23) and Alex Moon (2/24) were Coffey’s best with the ball.

Peak View/Jerangle (PVJ) beat Jindabyne on a heavy Nijong outfield. Jindabyne batted first and were under great pressure from the PVJ bowlers.

Tyler Greening worked hard for runs in the long grass, top scoring with 23, but the PVJ bowling attack led by Mitch Clark 3/15 and Isaac Horneman (3/17) proved too good and Jindabyne were all out for 93.

PVJ came out firing with C Bottom racing to 22, taking 15 off Nathan Hind’s first over.

Lucas Rixon provided some hope with

the ball with impressive figures of 3/8 off nine overs.

PVJ regathered off the back of a solid 24 from Mark Askell, securing the win in the 34th over.

Next week sees Jindabyne travel to Berridale, PVJ play Dalgety in a grand final rematch at Nijong and Aussie take on Coffey’s.

Cooma Bocce Club held its major competition for the year last weekend, with the Cooma Cup being contested over two days.

A total of 14 teams participating coming from ACT, Sydney, Melbourne and Cooma.

The winners were the Latzio Marche club from Melbourne. In the team was an international player who won Bronze in Croatia at Bowl Throw and the international coach competitng was with us also.

The weekend was a great success and our volunteers and committee worked tiredlessly and we thank them greatly. Runners up were Istra Sporting Club from Sydney.

Sunday saw four representative teams take the field, highlighting the current depth in Monaro cricket.

Despite no teams recording a win, it is promising to see good numbers turning up, particularly in the junior grades.

The under 12s were set a tough total of 186 by Goulburn with Callum Bailey (2/6) and Justin McDonald (2/22) the pick of the bowlers. Colby McDonald batted well for 17 but Monaro were all out for 53.

The under 14s went down to Highlands in a game hampered by rain. The Monaro side bowled out Highlands for 230. Rain delays meant Monaro were faced with a revised total of 118 after 25 overs but with a wet outfield runs were hard to come by and they fell short of the tally.

The under 16s batting was led by Lachlan Jones (27) and James Cahill (22), but the Highlands team proved to be too strong reaching the total, losing just two wickets.

The senior Monaro team also lost to Goulburn in the Country Plate. Monaro were bowling well holding Goulburn to 4/185 until the fourth drop came to the crease, smashing his way to 66 off just 18 deliveries, including 8 sixes in a row.

Next week all junior rep games are at home with the under 16s taking on Far South Coast at Rotary, the under 14s taking on Far South Coast at Nijong and the under 12s will play Shoal Haven at Nijong.

Lake Jindabyne tests sailors Cooma Monaro Carp CompWho can catch the biggest carp?

The challenge is on to catch the biggest carp during a month long bout of carp fishing in the upper ‘bidgee.

As many of our local fishers know, carp are an increasing pest in our rivers and the Cooma Monaro Carp Comp aims to target these feral fish and take them out of our river systems before they breed this summer as well as help pin-point carp hot spots via recording fishing sessions in an angler diary.

The comp, which will run from November 13 to December 13, is the brainchild of the Alpine Hotel Anglers Fishing Club president Michael Sharkey, supported by the Bredbo and Numeralla Fishing Clubs, the Upper Murrumbidgee Demonstration Reach, the Capital Region Fishing Alliance and the NSW Recreational Fishing Trust. This comp will not replace the annual Carp-outs already being held by the individual clubs and so this means more fishing time to be had by all as well as getting everyone out there together to target carp at the same time, over a wide area. Fishing is allowed in the upper Murrumbidgee River and its tributaries south of the ACT including the Numeralla and Bredbo Rivers.

The comp is open to anyone, but entry fees are discounted for members of the three local fishing clubs- the Alpine Hotel Anglers, Numeralla and Bredbo Fishing Clubs. Entrants are very

welcome to join their local club when registering for the comp. Registrations are accepted after Nov 13, as long as places are still available (places are limited). All entrants/families receive a free brag mat and fishing diary with their registration.

Fish are entered by placing them on the brag mat, measuring them and submitting the photo for judging. Fishing sessions are validated by recording them in the fishing diary.

Prizes will be awarded for the three longest carp (1st, 2nd and 3rd) caught by adults, 3 longest carp (1st, 2nd and 3rd) caught by juniors,

Barry Dennis lends a hand to the guys with the capsized Hobie 16.

Story by Tim Symons, photos by John Byrne

longest carp overall (all ages), mystery length carp and longest mirror carp. In the interest of some healthy rivalry, there is also a special club trophy awarded for the club member who catches the longest carp. The word on the street is that there are some dibs already being placed on that trophy! The prize presentation will to be held on the last day of the competition December 13, starting at 3pm, at the Alpine Hotel, Cooma.

For further details, rules and rego forms please go to upperbidgeereach.org.au/cmcarpcomp or contact Kathleen on 0407 085 943.

Eleven mono hills and six catamarans rigged up on the shore of Lake Jindabyne on November 4.

Two of the cats chose to sail around while four chose to race in heat one of Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club’s 2015/16 Twilight series. Steve Ashe and Ross Lawley joined John Byrne on the start boat and started the cats on time at 5:55 pm. Barney and Thomas Davis on their Hobie 16 were the only cats to start on time. Tim Symons was late for the start and Martin Banister and Barry Dennis sailing their Hobie 17s missed the start all together.

All the sailors soon discovered that Lake Jindabyne was in charge as the breeze constantly shifted in direction

There go the cats. and strength while large waves from the north barrelled down the lake and across the race course. Rounding the Quarry mark for the first time proved quite a challenge for all the sailors. The mono-hulls then headed to the Peninsular mark while the two remaining cats sailed to the Mountain mark. The cats battled a strengthening breeze and large waves on the main lake.

All the sailors battled around the course while struggling with the difficult conditions. John shortened the course after three laps. Nick Kennedy and his Olympic class Finn led the mono-hulls to the finish line, followed by Steve Osborne who had been chasing hard throughout the race. The yardstick corrected times left them in first and second place and Gote Vikstrom in third place. Then came Ross Tattersall, Martin Van Weel, Kerry McGaw, Garth Riley, Jason Abbott and Sam Bishop.

Terry Lee and Peter didn’t finish the race with Peter having been rescued by the start boat crew during the race.

Tim chased Barney all race until his boom detached from his sail with one

more buoy to round before the finish.

So, he had to retire and leave Barney and Thomas Davis as the only cat sailors to finish.

Races 2 and 3 of the 2015/16 Pointscore series were held on November 7.

John Byrne manned the start boat and sent the fleet of 10 boats off on a Port rounding course for race 2. Barney Davis led the fleet to the Quarry mark for the first time. Tim Symons and Barry Dennis chased him on their Hobie 17s. Nick Kennedy and his Finn led the following monohulls. The 12 to 15 knot South Easterly breeze and flat water assisted all the sailors as they zoomed around the course.

Tim caught up to Barney at the Peninsular mark and snuck past on the way to the Bay mark. Martin Bannister completed the course for the first time on his Hobie 17 while battling with Alistair Cox and his daughters on their Hydra 16. After a fast three lap course, Tim led the fleet to the finish line, followed

by Barney and Barry. The yardstick corrected times mixed up the results with Nick taking the win from Martin Van Weel and Tim, then Kerry, Ross T, Barney, Barry, Terry and Kristian Lee, Alistair and Martin B. A short windward /leeward course was set for race 3. Nick, Alistair and Terry chose not to race. The cats again hit the lead early on the first leg with Barry faring better after repairing his rudders. Barney led the way on the downwind leg to the Peninsular mark, followed closely by Barry, Martin B and Tim. They all battled closely until Tim split from the others on the Windward work and passed Barry and Barney.

They then caught him on the second leg to the Peninsular mark.

A drag race to the finish on the beach followed with Barney and Barry dead heating followed by Tim. The laser sailors also enjoyed close racing as they battled with each other in the fresh breeze. They finished close enough to the cats to mix up the yardstick corrected times. Martin VW was declared the winner followed by Ross T, Kerry, Barney, Barry, Tim and Martin B. Everyone enjoyed the close an exciting racing in the steady breeze and all are looking forward to the next race at Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club tonight.

Bombala bowls results No social bowls this week due to a bit of wet weather.

Swimming development camp

Cooma judo Seven players from Cooma travelled to Hills Sports Academy to compete in the last tournament for the year. The three usual competitors were there Jack and Shelley Kleven and Indi Dybal along with new comp players Cooper Hassell, Coby Gibbs-Wren, Cian Thornton and Kalim Khoury.

Cooper in his first tournament came up against the National Champion in his first fight and was beaten after a good tussle. He then went on to win his next two fights against more experienced players executing some great throws. He narrowly lost his last fight to end up winning the bronze. A nervous Kalim also competing for the first time surprised himself by winning his first bout and also went on to win the bronze in his division. Coby was unlucky in a fight he should have won. Not understanding some of the referee calls he let his opponent go instead of holding him down for the required count to win the fight. Cian was up

against some more experienced opponents but is showing plenty of promise for future competition.

Jack and Shelley both fought well in their divisions winning gold. Unfortunately Indi just missed out in a couple of fights she should have won. All in all Cooma Judo came away from the tournament with some great results.

Final round in Bill Elder shield to be played today Wednesday bowlers struck a slight breeze that tended to be a bit tricky at times but did not seem to worry Mary Boller and Peter Harris in their encounter with Allan Crowe and Dot Jackson although it was a close game to end 13.

Allan and Dot took the lead on fifteen but then dropped eleven shots over two ends which sent Mary and Peter on the road to victory 30/24.

Ken Rees and Denis Steinfort struggled all the way against Mick Mayhew and Paul Cannell being held on five for six ends and on 10 for eight ends to finally go down 11/29.

Keith Goodwin played Swinging Lead for Mary Phillips and Kevin Jackson and for Leonie Snell and Bob Lahy. This was pretty even for the first half but five shots to Keith, Mary and Kevin put them in front where they remained to win 21/13. Judy Locker, Mario Frezza and Ron Gammon were even on 6/6 with Sergio Roncelli, Bob Douglass and Ron Wainwright on end eight. Judy, Mario and Ron then skipped away to lead 18/8 and hung on to win 19/13.

Wednesday will be the final round for Bill Elder Shield to determine the names to be

added for 2015. The Shield will be presented at the Wednesday Bowlers Christmas Day in December.

Main contenders going in to the final day are; Renate Winckel 13+28, Paul Cannel 11+37, Geoff Venables 11+19 and Judy Locker 11+16. The luck of the draw could be the deciding factor as a loss by these and a win by any one on ten points could change things.

Six Cooma teams travelled to Merimbula at the weekend for games against Merimbula and Orbost.

All the players put in a big effort for their teams and the club and their sportsmanship and club spirit was excellent.

Cooma finished with a mixed bag of results with the u/17 Boys a stand out with their two exciting wins over the more fancied opposition.

Down by six points at half time against Merimbula the team came out fighting in the second half to run out winners 31-27 whilst against Orbost they were always in control winning 36-15.

The u/17 girls went down to a very strong Merimbula side before stepping up a cog to defeat Orbost 50-35.

The u/14 boys came up against strong opposition in their games losing both but with most players available for this age next year it was a great learning experience.

The u/14 girls had two close games winning against Merimbula by three points and just being

This team has all bar two still in this age next year.

The u/12 girls came up against some very strong teams going down in both games but not without putting in a big effort and once again it was a great learning experience as all players are still relatively new to the game.

The u/10 boys came away with a win and a loss in their first ever representative games and have the look of a team that could go a long way in the years to come if they stick with the game.

They went down to Orbost before having a runaway win over Merimbula.

The Club is now looking forward to attending more carnivals in 2016 and to clubs travelling to Cooma.

Reuben races to his third record Cooma’s showjumping in three weeks competition Reuben Hooper is the hottest athlete on our track.

Reuben cruised through the wet conditions on the track on Saturday morning in the 70 m dash to claim his third record in three weeks by demolishing the old record of 9.96 sec, set by Craig Willock in 1998, to record 9.55 sec.

So far this season Reuben has shattered 50 m, 70 m and 200 m hurdles. The way Reuben is running he could rewrite all the sprint records up to 400 m.

Numbers were down due to a few factors, weather, Busking Competition and Motor Fest in town.

We had 84 improvements by 37 athletes. Damien Kennedy celebrating his day with five improvements out of five events.

U/7 Jasmine-Rose Stead is the first athlete to reach 10 improvement for the season.

Top Ten Track Performances 1. U/12 Reuben Hooper in the 70 m in 9.55 sec 2. The lady of the track this season, Ruby Mould, posted excellent time in the U/13 girls 800 m in 2:47.00 sec (96% of the record). The only faster time Ruby has run this distance is on a tartan track at Woden two weeks ago.

3. Ruby also clocked impressive time over the 70m in 11.01 sec (90%) 4. U/14 Brenna Clayton 800 m in 2:52.0 sec suffered from the climatic conditions, but with the track drying out with summer on its way, we expect Brenna times dramatically fall.

5. U/11 Boy Louie Mould is just over half a second behind his sister’s time in the 70m. Louie ran 11.66 sec over this distance.

6. Louie also a pretty good 800m runner, he clocked 3:03.88 sec.

7. Reuben Hooper 800 m in 2:58.02 sec

It’s back! Cooma’s hugely popular showjumping competition will be back at the Cooma Showground on the weekend of November 14 and 15.

Being only a two day event now, from the week long event that was previously held in Cooma and Jindabyne, this event will return to the Cooma Showground on a much smaller scale than its predecessors.

The Monaro Equestrian Association has a small committee organising this event and many generous local sponsors have assisted with supporting this event this year.

There will be classes for the littlies from jumps at 45cm high right through to the 1.3m class and six bar jumping competition at the end of the day on Saturday. The main 1.3m class will be held on Sunday afternoon.

There will also be a special prize for the best performed thoroughbred

over the duration of the show.

This class is sponsored by Life After Racing, which is a national campaign to increase the popularity of the thoroughbred breed for the performance horse disciplines, thereby reducing the wastage in the racing industry. Horses must be registered with Life After Racing to be eligible for the prize.

At this stage there are around 150 riders entered to compete for the weekend travelling from the south coast and Canberra and many local riders also competing.

Two rings of competition will be in operation on each day, and our course designer is Brad Longhurst and Judge Bridget Cross, both from Canberra.

Competition starts each day at 9am and jumping will run right through until about 6pm.

Come along and check out the competition. Entry is free.

The winner was Joy Douch with 75 Nett.

Ball Winner was Gay Kennedy with 81 Nett.

The putting was also won by Joy having 24 putts.

Saturday was the second round of the Ampol Shield against Coolamatong.

The day started off cool, especially for those who were in carts.

Having heard the comment on radio by Coolamatong that they had the challenge of our Sand Greens and it must have an effect on their players.

Bombala were the winners on 464 pts. to Coolamatong 429 pts.

This was a good effort

by Bombala as we were behind on points after the first round played at Coolamatong when we had the challenge of their grass greens.

The winner of the day was Clay Stewart 37 pts. on a c/b from Ray Fermor. Balls went to Clay, Ray, Pepper Thompson 36 pts. Merv

Douch 35 pts.

Korie Elton 34 pts.

Ray Crawford 34 pts.

Joel Cherry 33 pts on a c/b. Balls went to the Coolamatong players B. Quinn 35 pt. R. Thompson 30 pts, T. Stevenson 31 pts, B. Thompson 29 pts, J. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hallaron 27 pts, A. Owens 25 pts, L. Key 24 pts. R. Gabriele 17 pts.

NTP was won by Korie Elton.

On Sunday members played a mixed grill for R. Brown and W. Eccles trophies.

The winners were Ray Crawford and Brendan Weston 61.5.

As there was an uneven number Ray Crawford had two partners, took some working out but it must have worked as Ray with partner Ray Fermor were runners up on 63.

Ray Fermor was unlucky both days coming in second each day.

13th December 2015 from 11am

Cooma Rifle Club Last Saturday morning was windy and threatening to rain but six members attended, four completing the shooting course and two helping with target marking, scoring and admin.

The wind was from the south, varying and swinging so much that it was a real test for the shooter, but good scores were recorded. New shooter, Tom Reed, shot a second stage possible 50/50, an excellent performance.

The scores were:

1. Nick Skobelkin 41-1 and 49-3, total 96-4 2. Damien Doyle 46-4 and 48-4, total 94-8 3. Brent Cain 46-1 and 48-2, total 94-3 4. Tom Reed 41-2 and 50-5, total 91-7 With handicaps Nick won from Damien and Brent.

Next week it looks like there will be no shooting as the usual shooters are all tied up with other things. The next shoot will be from 400 yards on the 21st of November.

13th December 2015 from 11am

Registration Forms need to be handed in by 13th November, to ensure Santa present.
