Staff of Australia Post Cooma, welcomed Victoria Ellis earlier this month who has taken over the Cooma, Numeralla, Countegany mail run, replacing Geoff and Jan Carpenter who previously operated the service.

Victoria grew up in Cooma, attending Cooma North Public and Monaro High schools.

She previously had a contract in Jindabyne whilst also working as a taxi driver since the taxi company in Jindabyne operates the postal

service but she finished up there when she had her son about 18 months ago.

Once her son turned one, she gained employment in various hospitality and retail businesses/ workplaces.

Victoria has also obtained another contract servicing Cooma, East Jindabyne and Buckenderra, which is sorted in Berridale.

Good luck Victoria and enjoy your new position in the workforce!

The Commonwealth Bank (CBA) in Sharp Street Cooma has a new manager, Brooke Hayward.

Brooke has been with the CBA since leaving school, 12 years ago.

Yes, she is quite young to be a branch manager but she has done all her training on the job.

Starting out as a part-time teller, progressing to full-time lead teller then transferring to the relief staff team.

Here she relieved staff from Batemans Bay to Narooma and in between, which involved telling, customer service, lending and being a relief manager.

Brooke said due to her perseverance, c o n f i d e n c e , performance and continually asking how things are done is how she has achieved the position of manager at such a young age.

Cooma is Brooke’s first management position and she is looking forward to the challenge and meeting new people.

She said, “I would like to try and give my staff the opportunities that they may not have had in the past,

help them achieve their goals. I love helping others and seeing them grow, it brings me great satisfaction.�

Brooke said she is a huge motor sport fan, but she also enjoys fishing and loves animals. She also said while she’s in Cooma she’d like to learn how to snowboard. “I’d like this branch to be a place where people can come in and have a chat with me and air any queries or concerns they may have, not feel uncomfortable. I’m here if people want to meet me,� she said.

Cooma uni campus moves closer The University of Canberra’s (UC) application for funding to create a Cooma campus has moved through to the Stage 2 funding round.

Member for Eden-Monaro, Mike Kelly, and Member for Monaro, Steve Whan, announced the news at the opening of the Cooma Pool and were excited about the potential funding.

The bid, under the Commonwealth’s Structural Adjustment Fund, has potential to provide a major boost for the region with new campuses established in Cooma and Goulburn and a major upgrade to the University’s field station at Jervis Bay. The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) has invited the University to reapply. The University is now awaiting feedback from DEEWR on its original application.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Stephen Parker thanked the bid’s supporters in the region.

“From the moment we suggested this idea, we have been overwhelmed by the support we have received from the local communities,” Professor Parker said.

“We always felt it was a strong bid, but to receive such positive community feedback lends a real energy to the proposal.”

“I am pleased to see that UC is one of the applications that are able to move into the Stage 2 funding round,” Dr Kelly said.

“The application from UC was strong enough to continue through to Stage 2 and Steve and I are giving it our full support.

“If the funding is approved this will be a great opportunity for Cooma’s economy to expand into a new sector while providing local students the opportunity to complete University education locally.”

The Federal Minister for Higher Education, Chris Evans, has directed his Department to work with UC to further develop their unsuccessful proposals in SAF Stage 2.

Steve Whan said that this was an important milestone for the UC Cooma Campus application.

“This is great news for Monaro - we are now one step closer to having a tertiary institution,” Steve Whan said.

“I have been working with the University, Mike Kelly and the Lands Department to assist this project in whatever way possible.

“This campus will allow people to study closer to home, molding our community leaders of tomorrow.”

Boyce “super” strategist wins national best practice award It came as a delightful surprise to Elizabeth Timmins, a superannuation strategist with wellknown regional accounting firm Boyce Chartered Accountants, to receive the “Best Practice Award 2011” at the recent SMSF Professionals’ Association of Australia (SPAA) annual conference in Brisbane. Ms Timmins did not even know she had been nominated.

SPAA’s best practice award acknowledges members who demonstrate ‘best practice’ selfmanaged superannuation fund (SMSF) advice whilst also promoting the professionalism of the association and industry generally.

Boyce Director, Julie Schofield, nominated Ms Timmins because of her consummate technical and strategic knowledge as a SMSF advisor.

“Elizabeth has a fantastic ability to explain the most technical situations in plain English,” said Ms Schofield.

“It is this, combined with her desire to keep on top of the technical and strategic issues around the dynamic world of SMSFs that makes her advice invaluable to her clients.”

Ms Timmins works within the financial advisory division of the firm, Boyce Financial Services. She has responsibility for hundreds of SMSFs and reviews each fund annually for compliance, and to provide strategic advice to improve the capacity of the funds to provide for the retirement of their members.

Boyce Managing Director, Bernard Kennedy,

admires Ms Timmins’ ability to quickly build a rapport with clients.

“This may be partly due to the fact that Elizabeth’s interests are wide and varied, ranging from motor bike riding to skiing, to managing her family farm.”

“Elizabeth is one of those people with a great work life balance – she is absolutely passionate about her work and committed to helping clients to achieve their retirement goals, but also ensures she makes time to pursue those activities which interest her.”

Strong communication and interpersonal skills are imperative in Ms Timmins’ role as she has clients spread throughout four states and across the five offices of Boyce Chartered Accountants.

Ms Timmins’ obvious knowledge, accounting background and commercial acumen allow her to provide practical solutions and strategies that can be applied in the “real” world to ensure the best outcomes for her clients.

The SPAA Best Practice Award recognises Ms Timmins for her advice and her ability to share, inspire and extend best practices for other SMSF professionals.

Elizabeth Timmins and Boyce Financial Services Pty Limited are Authorised Representatives of Lonsdale Financial Group Limited, ABN 76 006 637 225, AFS Licence No. 246934.

Show success despite deluge

The P&A is hoping to hold the horse events at The 136th annual Cooma Show was held last Saturday and although seriously impacted by rain another venue on April 3.

In the pavilion, woolgrowers entered 121 fleeces on Thursday night, attendance was still good.

More than 2000 people attended the show this year, slightly down on 2010.

With more than 60mm of rain recorded in Cooma overnight, the showground arena was closed by Cooma-Monaro Shire Council on Friday morning.

This meant horse events at the show had to be postponed.

Cooma Pastoral and Agricultural Association president, Gail Eastaway, said the ground was still too wet on Saturday for the safe conduct of horse events and the woodchop and yard dog trial areas were also too wet.

“The woodchop competition was moved off the oval and while yard dogs could have been run on another part of the showgrouind, the heavy rain meant we couldn’t transport the sheep for the event.

“The rain also caused some cancellations in the cattle section which was also disappointing, but we did have some new competitors present, which was encouraging”, she said.

to be judged and 27 of these fleeces have been selected and taken for entry in the Southern Exhibition at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

The photography section grew by another 200 entries to more than 860, a record number.

The schools display competition attracted seven entries and was won by St Pats, with Cooma Public second.

The show was officially opened by James Litchfield, whose association with Cooma Show extends over 80 years.

Mr Litchfield spoke of the unusual coincidence of having a good season and good wool and beef prices all at the same time.

He also expressed his concerns for the future of agriculture and the need for more agricultural research, especially into soil carbon.

Hazel Mckenzie-Kay on phone book Cooma North resident, Hazel McKenzie-Kay, has been selected to appear on the cover of this year’s Cooma Yellow PagesŽ and White PagesŽ book which will be distributed throughout Cooma, Jindabyne, Bombala, and Snowy Mountains from March 12, 2011.

Each year, Sensis, the publisher of the Yellow PagesÂŽ and White PagesÂŽ, recognises the contribution of local residents in the community by featuring them on the cover of its books.

The theme for this year’s covers, Australians Creating a Better Future, recognises people throughout Australia who have made a positive contribution to their community through projects or initiatives that help to make a better future for Australia. These projects have contributed environmentally, economically and/or socially to the local community and will benefit the next generation of Australians.

Hazel’s selection recognises the contribution she has made to the community in her various volunteer roles, most noteworthy, the establishment of a community garden that provides a space that encourages interaction among locals.

As a co-founder of the Cooma Community Garden, Hazel has helped promote the benefits of growing chemical-free produce, and more specifically, she has also created a teaching tool for local children and others to learn more about planting, harvesting and fertilising. The garden has also helped to create an area for local residents to gather, learn and socialise with one another, a common space that was not previously available in the area. “I attribute the success of the projects I have been involved in, to the support of my family, friends and the garden’s volunteers. These people have inspired me to help the local community. So, the honour of being on this year’s cover is also largely in recognition of their involvement,� Hazel said.

In addition to her involvement with the community garden, Hazel has also spent many years volunteering with organisations such as Vision Australia, collecting histories for the Adaminaby Snowy Museum, fundraising for the Melanoma Foundation and many other local organisations.

Rachel Peile, White PagesŽ Marketing Manager, says, “We felt the Australians Creating a Better Future theme was particularly relevant in the current environment, and Sensis is committed to promoting more sustainable practices in the community. “Australians are known for their passion and patriotism, and the initiatives and projects we have discovered is a great reflection of the dedication that local residents across Australia have for their community. Sensis is proud to recognise these people,� said Ms Peile. “We were impressed by the number of people from all walks of life who commit their time and knowledge to ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.� “We felt Hazel was a great example of an Australian Creating a Better Future and we are delighted to feature her on the cover of the 2011/12 Cooma directory,� said Ms Peile.

Distribution of Cooma Yellow PagesÂŽ and White PagesÂŽ was planned to start on March 12 and will take approximately six weeks for the books to be delivered to all homes and businesses.

The Yellow PagesÂŽ and White PagesÂŽ print and online directories have received Australian Government endorsed carbon neutral certification.

This has been achieved through the Australian Carbon Trust under the National Carbon Offset Standard (NCOS). The carbon emissions created through the production and distribution of our directory products are offset using NCOS eligible offsets.

Sensis is committed to helping small to medium

sized businesses, who make up 90 percent of enterprises in Australia, to grow their bottom line and reduce their impact on the environment through Small Business, Big Opportunity: Sustainable Growth. A book produced in partnership with leading environmentalist Jon Dee to help Australian businesses increase their efficiency and productivity.

You can download or order your free copy of the book by visiting www.about.sensis.com.au/smallbusiness <http://www.about.sensis.com.au/smallbusiness> .

Sensis encourages residents and businesses to recycle their old directories. In most areas, Yellow PagesÂŽ and White PagesÂŽ can be recycled as part of normal kerbside recycling services. Visit www.recyclingnearyou.com.au <http://www. recyclingnearyou.com.au> to find out about recycling services in your area.

Residents and businesses can choose not to receive a copy of the Yellow PagesÂŽ and White PagesÂŽ by calling Sensis on 1800 008 292 or visiting www.directoryselect.com.au <http://www. directoryselect.com.au> .

Did you know? The last three local people to appear on the Cooma Yellow PagesÂŽ and White PagesÂŽ cover were: 2010/11: Cooma resident Susan Peters Smith appeared on the cover under the theme Courageous Australians. Despite being diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma leukaemia, Susan has been instrumental in providing support for many cancer sufferers in her community.

2009/10: Jindabyne resident Jan Owens featured on the Yellow PagesÂŽ and White PagesÂŽ cover under the theme Creative Australians: Inspiring our Communities. Jan voluntarily organises a large public exhibition every year, bringing art to the community of Jindabyne and encouraging involvement from community groups.

2008/09: Brad and Monika Spalding from Thredbo appeared on the directory cover for the Celebrating Australian Flavour theme. The Spaldings operate Thredbo Valley Distillery, Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only schnapps distillery.

Perisher Village given go-ahead

Nats promise $1m dialysis

The vision of creating a village heart for Perisher Ski Resort is one step closer with the agreement announced last week between Perisher Village Developments and the NSW Government.

Perisher Ski Resort Chief Executive Peter Brulisauer said the village will provide a balance of recreation, education and retail opportunities.

“Most importantly, the village is the centre piece of our vision to create Australia’s best four-season mountain resort based on ecologically sustainable development principles,” Mr Brulisauer said.

The agreement between the NSW Government and Perisher Village Developments P/L, a wholly owned subsidiary of Perisher Blue P/L comes after a public tender process in 2009 for the development opportunity.

When complete, the village will comprise new recreation, retail and commercial facilities and 800 beds of accommodation.

“The new development will be staged. Stage one will begin with 66 new apartments providing 218 beds and almost one thousand square metres of retail space,” Mr Brulisauer said.

“We anticipate work on the village could commence at the earliest in the summer of 2012/2013.

“The village will be a major economic boost to the Snowy Mountains region.

“The village development complements the $30 million Perisher has invested into snowmaking, upgraded resort facilities and improved environmental management over the past five years to ensure that Perisher remains Australia’s

Last Monday, Shadow Minister for Health Jillian Skinner along with National candidate for Monaro John Barilaro announced that if elected, a NSW Liberals and National Government will commit $1million towards a satellite Dialysis Unit in Cooma.

This would allow for the current Dialysis Unit, that patients use on their own, assisted by a buddy, to be expanded both structurally and to include nursing staff.

This would be the first funding the unit will have received as all

favourite ski resort.

“The village development has been subject to rigorous environmental assessment, and has been modified in response to various submissions and consultations with Government and stakeholders over many years.

“We are one step closer to having a village development that delivers on our vision for a world class, ecologically sustainable all-year-round resort,” Mr Brulisauer said.

Member for Monaro Steve Whan announced the agreement saying the development would improve the overall visitor experience and mean more tourist dollars and jobs for the region.

“This is much-needed commercial village centre for Perisher, it is great news for the region and the State as a whole,” Mr Whan said.

The centre will be built on the site of the existing Perisher car park and will eventually include 800 new beds and a retail, commercial and entertainment centre.

“It’s an opportunity to give Perisher a heart, a focal point that will make it a more enticing yearround tourist destination.

“It’s been a while coming but the agreement means we’ll soon see the construction of the world class village centre that Perisher deserves,” Mr Whan said.

The agreement was approved following the conclusion of negotiations with Perisher Village Developments (PVD), a wholly owned subsidiary of PBPL following a public tender process.

2011 Little Black Book The 2011 Little Black Book: A Survival Guide for Winter Staff is nearing completion. This year’s book features an all new chapter on Selwyn Snowfields, easily accessible emergency information, and a larger map.

As always, the book contains health and safety information to get young winter staff through the season unscathed, and helpful tips for navigating the Snowies.

Accommodation providers, real estate services and winter employers are strongly encouraged to contact the Snowy River Shire Council’s youth development worker to reserve copies of the 2011

others funds have been raised by volunteers.

This announcement is a fitting acknowledgement of all the hard work undertaken by the Cooma Dialysis group and their commitment to delivering the existing service.

The number of patients requiring dialysis treatment is continually rising and to have a satellite unit would enable many more people not to have to make the trip to Canberra several times a week to receive treatment.

Little Black Book.

This free resource is available to all winter staff across the NSW Snowy Mountains. It is sponsored by Perisher Ltd., Snowy River Shire Council and the Department of Health and Ageing (via the Monaro Rural Health Service).

This year, additional support was provided by Kosciusko First National and Main Range Real Estates.

Many thanks to all of our generous sponsors.

Spokesman, Ed Mounsey from Windprospect said “the project will go ahead when market conditions are right. At the moment we are waiting for some uncertainty to be taken out of the equation.”

The uncertainty he is referring to is to do with the carbon tax that may or

may not be introduced.

He said every renewable energy project out there would be waiting to see if it’s implemented and what effect it will have on them.

“Initially we were going to commence work sometime mid this year but a new date hasn’t been revised as yet.”

A price on carbon will lead to a switch to safe solar energy.

Trying to derail this inevitable reform is poor public policy.

The Greens have the vision for our future.

Clean energy will create thousands of jobs in regional and rural Monaro. There is a lot of work to do once we get on with the job.

Dialysis group delighted Watch what Editor, I refer to “$1m promised for Cooma Dialysis Service” Express 10 March.

As Chairperson of the Monaro Regional Renal/Dialysis Group, I can say that the Group provides exactly the same information to both the Government and to the Coalition Opposition on the dialysis patient situation within the region.

We are surprised therefore at the different response, that whilst the Coalition, through the representations of the National Party Candidate John Barilaro, have promised $1m to set up what is called a satellite dialysis service at the Cooma District Hospital, the sitting Labor Member is quoted as saying “there was currently not a demand for a bigger facility in Cooma”.

I don’t know where Mr Whan has got the information to make this statement and decision, but it was certainly not from us.

This Group has had tremendous financial support from the regional community to radically increase the quality of life of some of those folk in our community who need dialysis.

We now have three home machines in the Cooma Hospital serviced by the ACT Dialysis Centre.

The chairs and all the equipment (other than the machines themselves) in the dialysis room come from the generous donations from the regional community.

You may find the Coalition promise “amusing” Mr Whan but we are delighted and applaud it, and thank John Barilaro as the community will for his successful representations on the regional community’s behalf.

Dugald Mitchell OAM Chairperson of the Monaro Regional Renal/Dialysis Group.

Editor, One of the great things about Australia is freedom of Speech.

One of the lasting legacies of the British was also that Civil Servants did not meddle in politics.

You never knew who your new boss will be.

In a recent political brochure an employee of a statuary body has endorsed a sitting member.

There is little doubt that a different party will be in Government.

Unfortunately politicians do not look kindly to groups that are openly unsupportive of them.

The consequence may be that the organisation and the people they represent may suffer as a result of such thoughtless action.

Statutory bodies must remain above politics.

Rain, hail or shine, local shows just have to keep on keeping on.

Last Saturday’s Cooma Show was a prime example of what volunteers can achieve, despite the odds.

While the heavens opened (and failed to close) on Thursday evening, organisers of the show were busy ticking off what could and could not be held on Saturday.

But, as one former president said “at least it was a decent amount of rain, not just a few millimetres”.

While some events were cancelled, many showgoers were rejoicing that the Monaro is having an autumn and La Nina is giving the Monaro back some of the moisture which has been sucked out over a 10-year drought.

Congratulations to the volunteers who make our local shows happen - whatever the weather.

With only 10 days to go befeore the State election, the promises are flowing pretty freely at the minute. And so is the sledging.

Luke at this...

Julia Gillard must be taking a deep breath - at least until March 27, as the State spotlight is off her to a degree.

But will Ms Gillard have to pay royalties on the words she apparently borrowed from Bono in her speech to the US Congress?

But with record bad, bad polls, Ms Gillard is surely preparing to leave The Lodge?

Dialysis group pleased Editor, I write as Vice President of the Monaro Regional Renal/Dialysis Group and retired Registered Nurse regarding “$1m promised for Cooma Dialysis Service” - Express March 10.

The promise made by the Coalition of a satellite dialysis Service at Cooma Hospital will allow ALL patients to obtain their dialysis treatment here in Cooma, and not have all the travelling to and from the Canberra Dialysis Centre three times a week.

It will be similar to the unit recently put into

the Forbes Hospital.

The Dialysis Group has been lobbying the State Government for four and a half years for such a unit at the Cooma Hospital. We now have a car, a driver and a room at the Cooma Hospital for three second hand “home” dialysis machines provided, organised and run by the Canberra Dialysis Centre.

There is little connection to the Cooma Hospital or the Greater Southern Health Service. If something goes really wrong, the Ambulance service is called.

Because the support is provided by a

“buddy” system and not by professionally trained nurses, the three machines can service only one patient per machine.

We understand that the $1m is new money, so the provision of such a unit will not cut down on other health services provided in the region.

There are two trained dialysis nurses in the region who want to help. Equipment would suit all types of dialysis treatment and be up to date.

We have assurances from the specialist doctors in Canberra involved that they will

Jerangle voters disadvantaged Editor, I am the Secretary of the Jerangle School’s Parent’s and Citizen’s Association and the Publicity Officer for the Jerangle/Peak View Country Women’s Association. I also attend the regular Progress Association meetings, which are held regularly in Jerangle.

For some time, the Jerangle Public School has been a registered Polling Place for both State and Federal Elections. This has proved to be very beneficial for both the School’s P&C and the broader community.

The Jerangle School is centrally located in the area servicing the other surrounding communities of Sandy Flat and Peak View.

The vast majority of local families are farming families and by removing the Jerangle School as a Polling Booth, local families will be forced to travel further a field to places such as Bredbo, Numeralla or Captains Flat. Some community members may have to travel up to 30 or 40kms to get to a polling booth.

Jerangle also has a proportion of its population who are elderly and it can be difficult for these members of the community to travel the longer distances to vote. Further, election day is an opportunity for the members of the community to come into one central place during the day and catch up with their neighbours and other members of their community.

The School is the perfect place, and it also offers the local community voters the chance to view the work of the school children which is on display there.

Additionally, the Jerangle P&C Association uses the opportunity to raise funds for the the Jerangle Public School, regularly raising between $500-$700 on voting day. Opportunities for local fund-raising are limited as it is, due to Jerangle being remote and as stated, Election day is a day that the P&C capitalise on, to raise much needed funds for there latest project, which is new playground equipment for the

small school.

This year, the NSW Electoral Commission has advised the school is not going to be used as a polling place. Complaints have been lodged with the NSW Electoral Commission and no specific answer can be provided from enquiries as to why the local school is not being used as a polling place.

One unconfirmed report suggests that it may be due to a decline in voters at the school. This is surprising, due to the increasing number of new families moving to the local area.

One of the NSW Electoral Commission guidelines for postal voting is that you are situated more than 8km from a polling place on election day. If this is the case, then the vast majority of community members in this area will be required to either conduct a postal vote or travel some distance to reach a polling place.

Neither of which the local community wishes to do for the above stated reasons.

Local State Member for Monaro, Steve Whan, was contacted regarding the closure, and my enquiry was directed back to the NSW State Electoral Commission. Steve Whan’s Office stated it has nothing to do with them and they could not provide any comment as to why it was not being used.

The School lodged paperwork last year for it to be used for this upcoming State Election and the Electoral Commission sent out a representative to inspect the school. As yet, the school has received no response from the Commission. Information regarding the closure of the polling place came via the community making enquiries, which has been passed back to the school.

Remote dialysis costs $88,000

Editor, I am writing to you to inform you and the community just what a dialysis patient experiences living in Cooma.

Three times each week, a driver picks me up from home at 7am and brings me back home about 4.30pm.

The trip to Canberra takes approximately one hour and a quarter. Arriving there, I have procedures taken before being put on to the machine by a nurse, as I am unable to do this by myself.

After five hours being hooked up to the machine I am taken off and feel very tired. I am so exhausted

that I sleep on the way home. Arriving home, I am unable to do anything.

The cost involved (taxpayers money) is approximately $88,000 a year for one person.

As you can see from the above, if we had a fully staffed satellite dialysis unit in Cooma, all this expense and stress would be eliminated.

I write on behalf of all the dialysis patients in Cooma and the surrounding areas who would all benefit greatly from the above unit.

We know the lift that such a unit will give to the quality of life to local patients.

As one patient said last week, after travelling three times a week to Canberra for five years, “I am getting tired.”

I congratulate John Barilaro on the success of his representations, it shows that he has really marvelous negotiation skills, and this augers well for the future.

Celebrating 150 years since skiing began at Kiandra 150 years ago skiing started in Australia at Kiandra when in 1861 a Norwegian is said to have begun teaching miners to ski on lengths of Alpine Ash. To mark the occasion the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will host an exhibition and open day at the partially restored Kiandra Courthouse and Chalet in Kosciuszko National Park.

NPWS Heritage Manager, Jennifer Hewitson, said there is much to be learned from the exhibition and additional tours that will be held at Kiandra in April.

“This simple exhibition tells the story of the birth of Australian recreational skiing in 1861 during the Kiandra gold rush. In the winter of that year, Norwegian gold miner and carpenter Louis Gottaas taught his fellow fortune seekers how to ski and how to make skis. From then on Kiandra became locally synonymous with skiing well into the 1960s, when skiing eventually moved to Mt Selwyn.

“Kiandra has such a fascinating history. Between 1860-61 it was the site of a frenetic but short lived gold rush and at one stage accommodated 15,000 people. While many had gone within a year after viable gold deposits dissipated a township remained,” Ms Hewitson said.

The one-day only exhibition will be open from 12

noon till 2.00pm on Sunday April 17. Tours of the Kiandra Courthouse and Chalet will commence after the exhibition opening. A hike along the new heritage trail over New Chum Hill will also be a feature of the day and will depart at 9am from the New Chum carpark, led by the Tumut and Region Bushwalkers Club.

In addition to Kiandra’s skiing history the NPWS will celebrate Kiandra’s connection with other sites in the region as part of the ACT and NSW Heritage Festivals.

On Saturday April 9, a coach tour will depart from the Tumut and Region Visitor Information Centre at 8.30am, returning at 5pm.

The tour will take visitors to Kiandra and Three Mile Dam in Kosciuszko National Park and on to Adaminaby to view the new Snowy Scheme Museum and a private museum collection.

All sites are connected with differing aspects of Kiandra’s history – including skiing, gold mining and the Snowy Scheme. The tour costs $20 and will be narrated by local experts on the history of Kiandra and surrounds.

Bookings are essential for all activities so please contact the Tumut Region Visitor centre on 02 6947 7025 to register your interest.

$10,000 to upgrade Big Trout 82 Sharp St, Cooma NSW 2630 Ph: (02) 6452 3183 Fax: (02) 6452 3134 deans.computers@bigpond.com

Member for Monaro Steve Whan has announced a $10,000 grant for the restoration of Adaminaby’s Big Trout.

“The iconic sculpture is an important landmark for Adaminaby and I am pleased to be able to provide this restoration grant to Snowy River Shire Council,” Mr Whan said.

“The condition of the Big Trout was recently brought to my attention, and it is great that we have been able to secure funds to assist in repairing the trout to prime condition.

“It is one of the most recognisable land marks for our region, it promotes the great fishing and tourism in the Snowy Mountains.

“The Big Trout is to Adaminaby, as the Golden Guitar is to Tamworth, the Big Banana is to Coffs Harbour and the Big Merino is to Goulburn.”

“Adaminaby is a great community, and I am always happy to work with them on local projects,” he said. “I am also on the record as supporting the local fishing industry.

“I worked with the community to save the Gaden Trout Hatchery, and have been in Adaminaby and Jindabyne encouraging children to fish with the ‘Get Hooked’ program.

“Importantly as Primary Industries Minister I have ensured that the record commitment to stocking has continued.

“The big trout is an icon for the region and for one of the most popular and economically important pastimes in the region. It sits right across the road from the new museum which has also recently received a grant from the NSW Government!”

“Woman Alive” at CLT Mark Salvestro As a first time director, I am both excited and slightly anxious to be staging a play opening this June 17 at Cooma Little Theatre. The process of looking for a play has been fun yet monotonous, with a stack of plays crowding my bedroom floor for weeks. After much reading and contemplation, I found a play that I contently love and can’t wait to start working on.

The play is one act, written by playwright, John Tully, called “Woman Alive”. There are three female and three male roles in the play with auditions to be held on Sunday April 3 at 3:00pm and Tuesday April 5 at 7:30pm.

Roger Berry is a crime novelist and his wife, Mary, proposes a new plot for another novel.

Roger arrogantly declines her suggestion, insisting that it won’t work. Mary persuades him to give it a go by acting it out to see if it works. While this is being done, the couple’s maid, Alice, mistakenly

believes that Roger has actually murdered poor Mary and calls the police. Much mayhem and comedy leads to Gerald, Mary’s friend, the policewoman Veronica, as well as Mary herself, all being arrested for murdering Mary!

It is a fun and lively farce with many laughs throughout, suitable for all ages. The play will be staged as part of the one act plays night at Cooma Little Theatre with Damien Kenneally directing the other plays, written by his daughter Genevieve.

If you are interested or would like more information or a copy of the script, please don’t hesitate to contact me on 6452 2082 or 0408 589 020 or email me on: marksalvestro@hotmail.com Anyone, whether you have acting experience or not, is welcome to audition as it’s always great to see new faces and discover new hidden talents.

Lily to celebrate her centenary with family Gail Eastaway

“I went back to close the windows so the beds wouldn’t get wet and Sonny came back, complaining because we were a few minutes late.

“So I told him I wouldn’t go with him and then he decided he wouldn’t go either – but we made up and did drive into town, even though we were a few minutes after 1pm”.

Lily has enjoyed living in Berridale –while she had travelled around Australia and New Zealand, she prefers living in the country.

Living in Berridale means she has been able to stay in her own home, because while she can’t see, she knows where everything is.

With the help of family and friends, and some paid help, Lily is comfortable in the house her husband built for her.

She is having a quiet birthday – family only on Saturday, with an ‘open house’ on Monday.

Her neighbour has made her two special fruit cakes , one for each day of celebration.

Hope they are both happy days for you Lily.

Living to be one hundred years old has its pluses and minuses for Berridale resident, Lily Constance.

Born on March 21 1911, Lily has lived all her life in Berridale, apart from a few months in Sydney.

Lily now lives alone after the death of husband Sonny 15 years ago.

His death ended a 66-year marriage which, Lily said, had few arguments.

Sonny and Lily were well-known figures throughout the Monaro because of their various associations with groups.

I first met Lily when I was a freshfaced cadet working for the Auswild and Bradley owned Cooma-Monaro Express in 1973.

At that time, Lily had been a correspondent for the paper for more than 40 years.

I even attended a special luncheon the paper held for Lily to celebrate her 50 years of providing social and sporting news to the paper.

Her career as correspondent started in November 1933, shortly before she and Sonny were married.

The editor of the paper at that time, Wallace Lily Constance.

Craigie, told Lily she should write up her wedding report for the paper. From there, Lily kept social and sporting news from the region coming into the paper on a reguar basis – and for not much money.

Lily estimates that the most she ever made from her scribing in one year was about one hundred pounds.

It is only in the last few years that Lily has stopped writing. Her eyesight has deteriorated in the last seven years, to the point she cannot see to write.

But she still managed to contribute her column for 78 years.

Lily has had a very active community life. She is a life member of six different organisations, including Berridale CWA and Red Cross and life member and patron of Coolamatong Women’s Bowling club, which is now in recess.

Lily, born in Adaminaby, moved to Berridale when she was about one year old. Then stayed put.

“I didn’t move far – just across the fence” she said.

Sonny built the house he and Lily lived in for years, even making the bricks used in its construction.

While they farmed for a while, with no sons to carry on with that enterprise and daughters not married to farmers, Lily and Sonny sold the farm.

Lily is the sole remaining member of her class at Berridale Public School.

Her childhood was marred by the death of her mother, from influenza, in 1919, when Lily was only eight years old.

Her sister was six and her father only 28.

One of five boys, her father had been taught many skills by his mother and Lily said it was not unusual for him to prepare meals for his family.

But by the age of 10, Lily was baking bread, cooking meals and generally doing the housework – as well as attending school.

But there was still time to play - Lily was a good tennis player, and won championships.

She still played up until the age of 65, when her eyesight became too bad for her to see the ball.

She consulted an eye specialist at about that time, who told her, her eyes would be fine until she was at least 90.

Lily didn’t think she would live until 90, so she didn’t do anything about her eyesight.

Lily continued playing bowls at Coolamatong and again won many titles with her favourite partner, the late Millie Banfield.

After their marriage, Lily and Sonny had their first daughter Judith and 10 years later, Joan was born.

Lily said her daughters are both “lovely girls” but very different.

“One is a Constance and the other takes after my family, the Blytons” she said.

Lily has six grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.

Lily and Sonny enjoyed a happy marriage. She recounts moving into their house before there was power in Berridale. For a while they had a Briggs and Stratton motor to provide light (replacing a gaslight) and were so excited to install their first refrigerator.

But like most marriages, there were “moments” “We had some rows, of course but nothing serious.

It was mainly because Sonny was so punctual, so precise and sometimes I wasn’t”.

Lily recounted one occasion when Sonny wanted to leave Berridale by 1pm to drive to Cooma to shop.

As she was able to get into the car, Lily noticed the windows of the sleep out were open and there was a big black cloud approaching.

Bill, who has collected more than 100 tractors ranging in age from 1937, has been the subject of media articles before, including in The Monaro Post.

Kingsley Warburton Make no mistake an Independent Candidate is your only hope of True Representation of the Electorate of Monaro on the floor of State Parliament. Please give your number one vote to Kingsley and follow your personal preference down the line of Candidates.

Kingsley Warburton has lived in this Electorate for 26 years and has served on Council for eight years. He loves and understands the Monaro and cannot understand why it is left out of most decisions of State Parliament. Political Party infighting and fighting each other has proved beyond reasonable doubt, that they have become democratic vandals of our democratic system; working against each other and not for us seems to be the order of the day. The larger parties come bearing gifts for the future but this is already your money. Your money in income tax- your money as goods and services tax- your money as fuel excise – your money as road tax in vehicle registration – your money as stamp duty and fire levy’s and insurance and other stamp duty. Land taxes and property rates and charges of all descriptions. Surely we deserve a larger slice of the cake than we have been receiving since I can remember.

I support jobs of all description and know that the individual is the best placed to make their decision. We need a new review of our forest industries so it can grow….. Into the future and attract good investment. Our national parks need a re-think, so we do not breed a feral animal population or another wild fire that almost took out Canberra.

I want Council Rate pegging, and I want more money from our already substantial contributions to Government. Weeds happen in a community and should not be the total responsibility of landholders. Please make the most of your vote.

Kindest Regards Kingsley Warburton.

This is a very moving way to remember those special people in our lives that are no longer with us. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fight backâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ceremony, starting at 9:30am on Sunday, concludes the fundraiser with the final walk at 10am.

Relay for Life means a lot to sufferers, survivors, as well as families and friends of these people. Sabina Kovats, a committee member of the Snowy Relay for Life said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It reminds me that I still belong to a special group. A group of people who are suffering with cancer, people who are fortunate of medical support and who have had successful surgery. It is a powerful reminder that I am a survivor of cancer and that I am still here todayâ&#x20AC;?.

The day will have displays and information on different types of cancer and why it comes about, educational talks for young people about risks, as well as nurses conducting health checks.

For more information contact Kirsten Farmer on 0421 348 681, 6456 2989 or go to http://relay.cancercouncil. com.au/2011/snowy_2011 Without your support, relay for life doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist, so come along and help raise money for cancer research and find a cure!

Parkinsons meeting today At the February meeting of the Snowy-Monaro Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Support group, there were visitors who spoke on subjects of interest to the members.

Information about mobility aids was presented to those present, these aids included wheel chairs, walkers, equipment for bathrooms and daily living.

Janine Robertson from Monaro Rural Health Services demonstrated

various forms of exercises available for Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sufferers.

The next meeting of the group will be held today, March 16, at the Werri Nina Centre, Sharp Street Cooma.

Lunch will be served at 1pm and there will be present physiotherapists from the university of Sydney and the Prince of Wales Hospital, to speak to the members.

For further information, please phone Louise on 0410 196 201.

Wellbeing Expo in April

Cooma will be hosting its fourth Wellbeing Expo on Saturday April 16 from 9am until 4pm at the multifunction centre.

There will be therapists, workshops, demonstrations, samples, new products and vouchers on the day.

Entry is $2 donation per person with all proceeds going to local cancer patients to assist them in costs for medication and travel expenses.

Practitioners and health workers from the local area as well as the coast and Canberra will be offering all sorts of services including massage, reiki, psychic readings, body talk, tarot card reading, health foods and aged care (meals on wheels/mobility stalls).

Co-ordinator of the expo, Sue Peters-Smith, said â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking forward to hosting another good expo this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The donations, distributed through Can Assist Cancer Assistance Network, help cancer patients pay for unexpected travel expenses to and from doctors/specialists as well as it helps them with the cost of their medicationâ&#x20AC;?.

The look good, feel good cancer workshops will also feature again.

To register and to receive a skincare and makeup kit, call 1800 650 960.

Supported by Monaro Rural Health Service and Department of Health and Ageing, the Wellbeing Expo is celebrating healthy bodies and healthy minds in the South East region.

Jonathon to represent MEF Bombala High School student, Jonathon Haggar is proud to represent the Monaro Education Foundation (MEF) at the 2011 Rabobank Young Rural Leaders Summit.

The Summit is an initiative of the Country Education Foundation of Australia (CEFA) who wanted to develop a program that would provide opportunities for strong and motivated leaders from rural Australia to participate in a worldclass leadership camp. Rabobank supports CEFA by providing financial assistance in the form of scholarships to enable local CEFA communities to send a representative on the seven day program run by Outward Bound.

Currently undertaking his HSC, Jonathon was identified by the MEF as a young person who has shown the qualities of a leader as well as being an active member of his local community. 2011 will be the last year of the Young Leaders Summit, and

with limited places available the news of the success of his application was well received by Jonathon and his family, Bombala High School and the Monaro Education Foundation.

The Summit will run in April and we look forward to hearing about Jonathon’s experiences and future goals as a result of participating.

Club born to promote football

President’s message It gives me great pleasure to welcome players, officials, family, friends and supporters of all teams taking part in this year’s Cooma Cats Cup and Gala Day. We at the Cooma Cats are dedicated to bringing AFL to the Monaro and Snowy Mountains and your support of the Cooma Cats Cup is critical to us achieving this mission.

Over the past three short years, we have seen this carnival quickly develop into a major pre-season event for the participating clubs, as well as being a showcase event for AFL in our region.

As president, I would like to congratulate my committee and our club sponsors for the work they have put into developing this event.

It is always a challenging task to develop a key sporting event through the goodwill and tireless efforts of club volunteers.

And they can all be proud of their efforts in bringing this event to the people of the Monaro and the Snowy Mountains.

And to all the clubs which are playing, on behalf of the Cooma Cats I thank you all for making the effort of travelling down to Cooma to support this event. We here at the Cats are very appreciative of your commitment to the tournament.

Meanwhile, we as a club - the Cooma Cats seniors and Snowy SuperCats Juniors - are back on the training track for season 2011.

We are looking forward to building on last year’s on field success which saw the

seniors increase the number of games won over previous years, and the juniors (Under 14 SuperCats) make the finals in only their second season.

2010 was a great year on the field for the club last year and we hope to be able to build on this success this season.

We are looking forward to seeing players from last year come back, but we are also keen to welcome new faces in all age groups.

At the Cooma Cats and Snowy SuperCats, we welcome anyone of any age and any level of football experience to come along to training at the Snowy Oval on Tuesday evenings to get a taste of AFL footy.

Last year we saw a number of new players in both our senior and junior grades playing their first season of AFL and it was amazing to see how well the progressed.

And this is what we’re all about at the Cats – giving anybody who wants a go at playing our great game the chance to do so.

So to everyone playing, supporting or simply just coming along to watch the action this weekend at the 2011 Cooma Cats Cup and Gala Day, enjoy the day. It is a day where we celebrate what our footy is all about: community, footy, family and fun.

Dave Paterson President Cooma Cats Australian Football Club

The Cooma Cats Australian Football Club was born through the frustation of one man, Bill Bartling, (pictured) who wanted players outside of Melbourne to have a chance to play top class footy.

Bill had signed with North Melbourne in his playing days, but a damaged knee meant he never took to the field, however his brother did play.

Bill believed footballers across Australia should be given the chance to compete at top level if they were good enough, no matter where they lived.

Bill owned the Alpine Hotel at that time (1975) and a chance encounter with a journalist from Canberra had some longterm repercussions.

It led to Bill coming into contact with Merv Lindsay, from Canberra, who also wanted ‘bushies’ to be given a chance.

(Merv was president of the Monaro Australian Football League and later a frequent visitor to Cooma).

By 1976, Cooma had a team in the Monaro competition and in 1977, played in the grand final.

That day, Bill said, was “one of the better days I’ve had in football”. It would be another seven years before the Cats finally won a flag, however, despite other finals appearances.

The Cooma Cats were officially formed in 1975 with Les Nancarrow as president and Bill as secretary.

Bill also brought the late Elido fachin on board as club patron and Elido rapidly became a footy tragic and lifetime supporter of the Cats.

Local station master, the late Ron Bennett, was also involved and another footy tragic, Bryce Anderson joined the committee and became, according to Bill, the strongest and most diligent committee member the club had.

Then there were supporters on game days, like Ernie who acted as goal umpire and generally did anything else asked of him.

Kevin Jackson is another who gave himself to the club as trainer and any other role that was required.

The strength of the club was obvious through its many manifestations in cricket, basketball and hockey, to name a few.

The club’s annual presentation nights were truly gala occasions.

W i t h encouragement from Bill’s partner, Gladys, the ladies frocked up and men wore dinner suits - all enjoying the meal, the presentations and the entertainment.

The club was always looking for ways to promote Ausssie rules and one year, it won the right to send a team to Melbourne to compete in a novelty television program hosted by Ray Warren.

The team didn’t win, but the members did learn how othersbent the rules, just in case there was ever another occasion.

Then there was the ‘Queens’ night, with the footballers dressing up as debutantes to win the coveted title.

When Gladys and Bill left Cooma, they stayed in touch with the club and Bill was present when the Cats won the flag in Yass in 1984.

Cats on membership prowl The Snowy Mountains’ own AFL Club, the Cooma Cats, is on the prowl for fans, ex-players and AFL supporters across the Monaro and Snowy Mountains.

In 2010, the Club launched the Cats’ Social Club so everyone interested in the team can officially join the Cats on their journey to bring AFL football to the region.

Cats’ Club President Dave Paterson said the Cats Social Club initiative was in response to a desire by many people in the area who, while unable to play footy, wanted to have a formal relationship with the club.

“Our team at the Cats is not just the playing group, but also includes all our families, officials and supporters, and we wanted to be able to recognise that in a formal way,” Dave said.

Key to this recognition is the issuing of a specially numbered Cats’ membership card which is supported by a number of sponsors who are providing discounts on their services and products specifically for Cats’ members.

“We have had some great support from local business getting behind this initiative, including the Shell Region Service Station in Cooma, Nimmitabel Butchers, Capital Pizza, Cooma’s Original Hot Bake and of course our major sponsor Dodds Hotel,” Dave said.

“But while being able to access the great discount benefits linked to the membership card, the most

important benefit for the Cats’ supporters will be the ability to formally belong to the ‘team’,” he said.

Dave said the Cats have worked hard in recent months towards making the club more than just a team of footballers.

“We are very much a community and family-focused club that relies on the hard work of our members, supporters and a small number of great local sponsors to get onto the field each week,” Dave said.

“But we have a bigger mission is to make AFL football available to everyone in the Snowy Mountains – and that includes not only players, but also supporters, young and old, male and female.

“AFL football is not just about the players, it is about the entire community and that’s what we at the Cats are all about,” he said.

“In addition to their senior team, the Cats have now established a junior football side, the Snowy SuperCats in the Under 14 Division, and is keen to develop Under 12 and 16 sides, as well as a female side in the future.

“We know we are in a tough market when it comes to football loyalties in this part of the world, but we know we have a great product to offer everyone in the community and we welcome anyone to come and join us on our exciting journey,” Dave said.

The Origins of the (now) WEDNESDAYS CAKES, Tuggeranong Hawks Football Club PIES, SANDWICHES In late 1967 and early 1968 the Department of Supply moved their employees from Melbourne to Canberra, transporting a large number of young men and their families to an unknown environment.

Because the vast majority of these people had no family in Canberra, a number of the men decided that they would play Australian Rules Football as a means of staying together and make friendships for their wives and families.

Once the group had formed a football team, the Eastlake Football Club showed their support and provided a set of football jumpers and our club was born.

Our chosen name was “Eastlake Woden” and we played in red and white striped jumpers.

During our evolution, we changed our name and colours a number of times. From Eastlake Woden, we became South Woden, then Sutherland, then Tuggeranong Bulldogs, then Tuggeranong Cowboys then finally Tuggeranong Hawks.

Our colours were, at different times, red and white stripes, red white and blue (Bulldogs colours), red, gold, and black (Adelaide Crows), and lastly brown and gold (Hawks colours).

As we didn’t have a club of our own (like most of the other teams in the league at that time) each week one of the wives of the footballers would take it in turns to make a huge vat of soup and the players and their families and children would all go

back to that person’s place after the game for eats and drinks. This was a great bonding exercise and ensured that everyone would feel welcome.

Early in the years of the South Woden Football Club, the government allocated us a block of land at Southlands for building of a club. This block stood undeveloped for many years and because we didn’t have enough backing or money to go ahead with this, the department rescinded the offer.

Later we did build a small club in Wanniassa, but this was not a going concern either and was taken over by the Vikings.

We are now the Tuggeranong Hawks which as a club is as united as upon our birth. We are very proud to be members of this club and hope the club will still be playing football in another 40 years.

The birth date of the Tuggeranong Hawks Football Club was 40 years ago, not 30 as is commonly believed.

The ACT Districts competition will see a new bunch of Hawks running around this year, with the club entering a 4th Division team for the first time. The boys are looking forward to having a good run in Cooma, combining their 3rd and 4th Division teams for the Gala Day. Fingers crossed for a successful day for the Tuggeranong Football Club.

The Tuggeranong Hawks and are looking forward to using the Cooma Cats Cup as a major hit out for many of the new players.

Woden Blues ready for another Cats Cup challenge

The Woden Blues Australian Rules Football Club was formed in 1996 by a group of Marist College Old Boys, starting out in the AFL Canberra 4th grade.

From 1996 to 2004, the Blues played in Division 4, winning three successive Premierships from 2002 to 2004. In 2005, the club made the move up to Division 3. The Blues made the 3rd grade finals in 2007 and 2009, before missing out narrowly in 2010.

In 2008, a chance meeting with Damian Asanovski saw Woden form an affiliation with the Cooma Cats, a relationship that has proven beneficial for both clubs. Each year the clubs swap a home game, with the Blues and Cats double header at Snowy Oval a road trip the entire team looks forward to attending.

2011 is a new beginning for the Blues, with rookie coach Michael Altus taking the reigns. Altus, the 2010 Best and Fairest winner for the Blues, is

confident of a good showing in the carnival as it is the Blues major pre-season hitout.

Said Club President Wayne Bennett ‘after the retirement of many club veterans, Woden will be bringing a young and inexperienced squad to Cooma this year. We are confident the young boys can put on a good performance and show enough to lock down a place in our starting 22 for round 1’.

After narrowly missing the final in 2010, the Blues were keen to go one better this year. ‘We ran out of legs in our final pool game last year, but overall the Cooma Carnival was a great event and we are aiming to make the final this year.’

Belconnen Magpies History The history of the Belconnen Magpies Football Club is one that has travelled along many different paths, at times under the one banner, and at other times simultaneously under separate banners. The various clubs in the past, that have been the Belconnen Magpies Football Club have all added their own dimension to our now great football club, and contributed to the character and spirit now experienced by our club’s current players, coaches, training staff, and supporters. The Belconnen Football Club and The West Canberra Football Club amalgamated in the late 80’s and early 90’s to create the now stronger than ever, Belconnen Magpies Football Club . Both of these clubs possessed their own unique culture, history and also their own origins.

The Belconnen Football ClubThe Belconnen Football Club adopted the navy blue jumper and white monogram when it entered the competition in 1971. These colours were chosen to align with the colours used by the Turner Football Club. The different design was to reflect the move to the Belconnen district, a new area, new clubhouse and new future.In 1987 Belconnen amalgamated with

The West Canberra Football Club. They became known as the Belconnen Magpies, and played in the black and white stripes, alternating between the “Shed” and West Canberra’s licensed premises in Kippax as their home.

Belconnen reverted back to its navy blue and white colours in 1988 when the amalgamation dissolved and continued to sport these colours until 1990. “The Shed” remained as the Club’s base until it was sold in 1989. The club was then based at the Western Districts Rugby club in 1990. In 1991 Belconnen affiliated with the West Canberra Football Club and adopted that club as its home. The famous black and white jumpers were again used until 1998 when the current black, white and teal was adopted. The team was again known as the Belconnen Magpies and still is.

The West Canberra Football Club The West Canberra Football Club entered the competition in 1974. In keeping with the famous Magpie tradition the club adopted the famous black & white stripes that were previously worn by the Acton Football Club.In the early years the club did not have a permanent home, however that problem was rectified when stage one

of the current clubhouse was completed in 1978.In 1987 West Canberra amalgamated with the Belconnen Football Club. They became known as the Belconnen Magpies, they continued to sport the black and white stripes and alternated between the current clubhouse and Belconnen’s clubhouse in Jamison. The amalgamation dissolved in 1987 and the black and white colours were not seen in the ACTAFL competition until 1991 when the Belconnen Football Club affiliated with the West Canberra Football Club, moved its operations to Kippax and the Belconnen Magpies were reborn. The black and white colours remained in use until 1998 when the current black, white, and teal strip was adopted.

The Belconnen Magpies have been great supporters of the Cooma Cats Cup and look forward to participating again this year.

Belconnen Magpies Women set to defend title The Belconnen Magpies women’s team is excited about participating in the 2011 Cooma Gala day and defending their 2010 crown, team manager Petra Bright.

“The team played in the Cats Cup and Gala Day in 2010 and enjoyed every moment of the big event,” Petra said.

The Women Magpies won were lucky enough to win the event last year and celebrated with the organisers well into the night.

“It was a great chance to give new players match practice as well as implement new game plans that have been worked on over a long pre-season,” Petra said.

The Magpies women’s team has kept the same core group for a number of years now. Captain Gen Netting and vice-captain Clare Gough have been in their positions for two years and have shown great leadership and provided some inspirational play in that time.

Clare was player of the gala day last year so has fond memories of the event.

The Magpies women’s team are part of the powerful AFL Canberra Belconnen Magpies Football Club that has had success in all grades in recent years.

“The Belconnen Magpies Football Club has been very supportive of the women’s team,” Petra said.

“And our women have embraced the one Club culture,” she said.

The Belconnen women’s team has two players that sit on the Belconnen Board, Jo Foster and Katrina Gallway, who work tirelessly and ensure this culture remains in place.

Belconnen joined the ACTWAFL in 1999 and won the premiership in their first year .The success of the women has continued through the years, with the women playing in 6 finals campaigns.

North Eastern AFL. This consists of two conferences.

Ainslie and the other Canberra sides, the Sydney Swan reserves and the Greater Western Sydney Giants make up the first. The second involves the Queensland Football League including the Brisbane Lions reserves, Gold Coast Suns reserves and Northern Territory Thunder. The teams will fight it out to become conference champions initially, and then go on to compete to become the overall league champions.

The remarkable opportunities that Ainslie have earned this year will put them in the National spotlight. The anticipation has created a massive excitement on the training track in the pre-season. The player numbers for the three senior teams have exceeded 100 and the energy is quite simply electric!

The division three side will represent Ainslie at the Cooma Cats Gala day in 2011, and hope to improve on their second placing from last year.

New staff at Boller and Co Over the past few months, Boller & Company have welcomed two new staff members to the team. They include Terrilee Leggett and Raylin Fletcher who are working in sales/ administration and as a property officer respectively.

Terri-lee has lived in Cooma for around seven years, previously working at High Country Automotive in reception and administration – similar to what she does now – and then had a break from that sector whilst working as a teller at the ANZ Bank, Cooma Branch.

“I was very pleased to be able to work in this [real estate] industry. They’re a great real estate to deal with!” Terri-lee said.

Welcome to real estate, Terri-lee.

Raylin was born and bred in Cooma and has been offering real estate assistance to the local community for ten years. She is currently working as a property officer at Boller & Co, where she manages all properties and would like to emphasise that her usual great service will still be offered despite her change in office.

Boller & Co is privileged to have recruited staff with such experience. Enjoy your new place of employment, Terri-lee and Raylin.

St Pat’s renovations receive a blessing cont’d from page 5 “It was visionary in terms of allowing the school and the Catholic Education System to manage the various projects.”

“The cooperation between the architect, Garry Dutaillis; the project managers, Paintrite Constructions; the Catholic Education Office and the School was an integral and major role in the success of the project”.

The Primary choir and the performance group played and sang the National Anthem, as well as entertained the guests whilst the facilities were being blessed.

Father Paul Huthnance, Archbishop Mark Coleridge and Principal Phil Stubbs toured the school and blessed all the new facilities.

Many of the key people involved in the project were present for the occasion and should feel well satisfied with an efficient and relatively smooth project.

“As far as St Patrick’s is concerned, the BER achieved its objective by providing essential school infrastructure, employing local contractors wherever possible and having a project that came in on time and significantly under budget,” Phil Stubbs said.

The new facilities included shade shelters on the Primary and Secondary campuses, a covered outdoor learning area on K-2 campus, refurbishment of the K-6 staffroom, refurbishment of the K-6 toilets.

Refurbishments of the upstairs classrooms on K-2 campus, provision of a new storage area and toilets upstairs in the K-2 area, refurbishment of play equipment and grounds, landscaping, water harvesting on K-2 campus, replacement of aged infrastructure across K-6 such as water, sewerage, gas and electricity, and security fencing around the whole of the Primary campus.

Phil Stubbs acknowledged all the funding from the Government saying “We are very grateful to the Federal Government for this initiative”.

The facilities looked outstanding, providing much needed benefits for students and staff of St Patrick’s and creating a much safer, more enjoyable learning environment.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst Well here it is autumn again and I should be getting a bit antsy round about now because it’s the season that means winter is next and I should have started having palpitations at least a week ago, but I haven’t! So what’s happening to me?

It could be that after nine years in this part of the country I’ve finally acclimatised but I don’t believe that for a minute.

It could also be that I have had so much on my mind of late that I haven’t had time to have hysterics.

That sounds about right actually. It seems to me that autumn has just crept up on me this year and while I subconsciously acknowledged it, I sort of forgot to throw myself on the floor and scream.

But hey, I can fix that. It’s not too late for me to do the hand-toforehead thing and go down in a heap. I mean, I’ve had heaps of practice after all and have it down to a fine art but while it has a nice dramatic flair, it does nothing favourable about the weather which is now moving headlong into that downward spiral towards the worst season of the year. Winter!

So why don’t I move, I hear you say. Well for several reasons, for the moment but that doesn’t mean it’s off the cards.

On the other hand though, moving means packing up a complete house full of stuff and finding another house to put it in!

This can be very daunting and memories of past moves make me shudder at the thought of doing another one, so, for the moment, I’m not going anywhere.

Which brings me back to the fact that it’s now autumn and in about 10 weeks time it will be winter and I’ll be blue with cold and miserable again until September which right now seems such a long way away.

At least it’s still reasonably pleasant at the moment so perhaps I should hold off the whining until I have something concrete to whine about. I might actually get some sympathy then but I’m not holding my breath.

On the other hand though, it doesn’t hurt to start psyching myself up for it.

Battle to halt Mintweed Recently, a local landholder brought to the attention of the Noxious Weed Management services an infestation of Mintweed in the area along Cooma Creek south of Cooma.

Mintweed is not a declared noxious weed in the Cooma Monaro Shire, however, due to its invasive nature as well as being potentially toxic to livestock, the Noxious Weeds Committee has supported efforts to contain this incursion.

Funding for containment has been met through Southern Rivers Catchment Authority and labour to be provided from local Landcare groups.

Noxious Weed Management Services will coordinate a control program to contain and prevent mintweed spreading into the waterways and adjoining properties.

There has been encouraging support from the surrounding A field day on dieback in Monaro eucalypts will be held this Friday at Dalgety. landholders in identifying and controlling this outbreak.

If you suspect or have seen Mintweed in your area please contact Eucalypts are dying on the Monaro, not all of “We hope people will come along and give us The Noxious Weeds Department them, but in whole patches over slopes, by their local perspective so we can get a handle on phone 02 6455 1941. roadsides, in reserves and in paddocks. the extent of the problem”.

The big question is “what can we do about Robertson on 6452 1455. with stock feed during the 1902 it?” drought.

Peter Lette of “Foxglen” between Berridale and Dalgety knows first hand the effect that dieback has on his own farm. “Trees are dying steadily, often without replacements, and many that are alive look very sick,” explained Mr Lette.

“This is not good for me as a farmer, but it’s also not good for the whole landscape. We need to figure out why this is happening and what we can do to try and prevent further tree losses.”

A field day to be held in Dalgety on Friday March 18 will try and answer these questions.

Snowy River Landcare group is currently running a research program on dieback with Neil Murdoch from the University of Sydney.

Neil will be at the field day along with experts from Greening Australia to look at why the dieback is happening in our area and what steps we as locals can take to address the issue.

“It’s important that locals take an interest in dieback as there are options we may be able to employ to reduce deterioration of our trees,” said Mr Lette.

Fightback on Dieback

Mintweed is an erect summergrowing plant about 60cm in height with bluish green lance shaped leaves growing in opposite pairs, flowers are pale blue ranging from 2-4 flowers in a cluster growing at intervals along spikes at the end of branches.

This plant has a strong mint smell when crushed.

This feature can be used to readily identify young plants.

Mintweed is an annual plant germinating during August to March, under good soil moisture conditions.

Plants die off in late autumn and early winter.

It is very drought tolerant and rapidly invades overgrazed and badly managed pastures, particularly near sheep camps and watering points.

Mintweed competes with pasture plants and crops.

The leaves contain a chemical which, when incorporated in soil, inhibits seed germination of other plants.

Stock grazing mintweed have sometimes suffered from nitrate poisoning, however, in most cases the stock that have died were in poor condition and recently introduced to the weed.

If you require further information, please contact Warren Schofield on 02 6455 1943.

Decentralise

The NSW Farmers’ Association is seeking a commitment to bolster regional economies through the relocation of State Government departments.

NSW Farmers’ Association President, Charles Armstrong says at least four head offices should be transferred, to regional NSW. “The population of Sydney is expected to swell by an additional 1.7 million people to 6 million by 2036,” Mr Armstrong said. “During that same time, regional NSW is only expected to grow by 550,000 people – less than a third of Sydney,” Mr Armstrong said.

“We have an opportunity to even out the predicted imbalance through decentralisation,” Mr Armstrong said. The Association is proposing the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water NSW, Rural Fire Service, the Land and Property Management Authority and Roads and Traffic Authority be relocated. “Moving any of these departments to regional cities would provide a complementary employment hub to agriculture in those areas,” Mr Armstrong said.

The Association’s proposal coincides with the release of an Australian Farm Institute Report, backing decentralisation.

Mainly Monaro exhibition An exhibition of new paintings by artist Ian evening view.

Ian Henderson has described the new paintings as Henderson opens in Nimmitabel this Saturday.

The paintings will be on show at ‘Winterdown’, 46 Bombala Street, Nimmitabel from 11am–4pm on Saturday March 19, and Sunday March 20 and the exhibition will continue through each weekend to April 27.

Ian Henderson’s paintings on this occasion are concerned with images of the Monaro. Whereas we are used to seeing landscapes that depict the expanse of the treeless plain, Ian’s new paintings give us glimpses of a more unusual Monaro.

Through windows and netted curtains, we get a hint of Autumn, and landforms are revealed through shape and colour. Some paintings, such as ‘Monaro Gully’ show us the breadth of an autumn landscape, with the forms that define the spaces between trees, to the rolling landscape beyond.

In other paintings, Ian extends the idea of the window, through which we can see landscape vistas— yet we are contained within, viewing the landscape as casual observers rather than as exterior explorers. One painting, ‘In the Afternoon’, shows a young magpie on the inside of a window, as if wanting to depart, but hindered by the glass.

More topical paintings define the Nimmitabel area.

The painting ‘An Evening at the Royal Arms’ gives us an unusual view of the famous Royal Arms Hotel as seen from behind, noting that rural life continues through this

part of his response to living on the Monaro, more specifically in Nimmitabel.

“This is a great location for an artist, and I am continually fascinated by the wealth of birdlife that surrounds us.” Two semi-tame magpies visit ‘Winterdown’ virtually every day, so it is not surprising that they have now found their way into Ian’s new paintings.

Gully Gang at it again The Gully Gang, a group of local Pictured above, Vicky and artists, have held their second Margaret Haylock with Christine exhibition at The Raglan Gallery.

Season finishes tomorrow Cooma Athletes are running out of time to post their personal best on our track as the season comes to sudden stop on March 17, just before the ACT State Championships on March 19 and 20.

Going by the results of the last two competition nights, each athlete should be at their peek and outstanding performances should be the norm.

In the two weeks just gone we had 159 personal best performances over a wide range of events. The number in brackets is their total for the season.

U/6 athletes chalked up 44 improvements with Clara Thornton (18) and Maggie Johnson (13) picking up six apiece for the girls.

There was an avalanche of boys with personal bests they included Jacob Suthern (23), Jonah Perea (22) and Thomas King (19) all with six improvements, plus Azach Morgan 5 (13) and Luke Fely 4 (12).

For the U/7 Doran Morgan (19) tops the bill with eight improvements, then four athletes on four improvements: Jesse Lunt (9), Lucy Thornton (18), Tyla Marshall (11) and Tyrone Morgan (12).

Only one athlete in both the U/8 and U/9 tallied with four improvements each, U/8 Jack Johnson (13) and Chelsea Lunt (18).

U/10 Will Pendergast (11), U/12 Molly Adams (12), Adele Marshall (14) and Jordan Louis (29) all attained four Improvement and

Kate Downie (9).

Top performances Jordan Louis (U/12) posted three outstanding performances on the 24th all within 10 percent of the centre records.

His 400m time of 1:13.57 sec is 7 sec behind the record. Leaping out to 4.20m in the long jump, just 30cm off the record. His third was at the discus coming with in two metres of the record with 28.30m.

Liam Rankin is at striking distance to claim the U/11 triple jump record after his great showing the other night when he combined all three aspects of the jump together giving him nearly a perfect performance in reaching 8.09m. Just 70cm shy of the record.

The U/10 boys long jump was the event of the night with three athletes only cm away from the record. The night belongs to Dayton Corby 3.97m then Will Pendergast 3.84m and Jesse Williams 3.75m. The high jump was another high light with Jesse Williams clearing 1.20m and just one clearance behind was Will Pendergast at 1.15m.

U/8 Boys 60m hurdle was Jordan Davis within one percent of the record as he skimmed over hurdles to log up his best time for the season of 12.39 sec 1/10 of a second off record. He was closely followed

by Hugo Steiner in 13.03 sec.

Scorching scores and a hole in one Cooma Golf by Garry Atkinson With the golf course in excellent condition, a major NSW qualifying event, pennant matches galore and a Wednesday afternoon ambrose competition, players have been treated to a great week of golf.

Definitely the highlight of Cooma golf this week has been the great scores in the NSW 4BBB qualifying event on Saturday March 12 and a hole in one by visiting golfer Bruce Ironside from RMC on Sunday.

Playing in the B Grade Reserve Pennant match against Graeme Russell (who ended up winning 4/3) Bruce holed out on the difficult 9th hole. Ironside completed his match and then celebrated by shouting the bar at the 19th hole. Every member present was certainly very pleased Bruce hit his wonderful ace.

On Saturday the winners of the NSW 4BBB qualifying event were Roy Hankinson and Jim Darley with a wonderful score of 52 stableford points – that’s 52 points.

Runners up were Lachlan King and Rob Brown with 49 points and third were the consistent smooth swingers Doug Parker and Trevor Bailey with 45 points. All three teams progress through to the next round .

Ball winners went down to 41 points with these players all being reserve teams for the next round of the NSW 4BBB event.

Nearest the pin winners were; Wally Matthews on the 9th and Lachlan King on the 17th. Longest drives went to; Norman Marshall, A grade; John Martin, B grade; and Doug Parker C grade.

On Sunday the 13th a single stableford was played. Denis Minehan, in recent fine form, continued on his winning way with 37 points from Brian Turner on 35 points on a countback from David Crawford. Ball winners went down

to 31 points.

Last Wednesday March 9, 38 players contested a single stableford. Winner on the day was Gerard Day with a fine 41 points.

Second was Tim Bedingfield with 40 points. Third was Bob Weston with a creditable 39 points and Roy Kerr came in fourth with 38 points on a countback from Terry Johnston and Kerry Blencowe. Ball winners went down to 36 points.

Nearest the pins went to Charlie Beaumont on the 9th and G. Weston on the 17th.

In the Wednesday afternoon ambrose competition D Hedger, C Stokl and A Rogers won the handicap trophy with 283/6. Darren is certainly on a roll at the moment.

Scratch winners were J Darcey, L King and R Hankinson with a fine 33 of the stick.

Our Veterans golf team had a home game against Capital Club from Canberra on Thursday last week. Unfortunately the Capital team proved too strong for the home team winning four games to two. Both Terry Johnston and Mal Crockett won for the Cooma team.

Let’s hope our veterans team can find form for their match next week.

Our A Reserve team played the very strong Golf Creek team (last years winners) at Belconnen last Sunday and despite being 2 key players down narrowly lost by 3½ games to 2 ½. Terry Johnston was the standout player for Cooma.

Playing the Gold Creek Captain and scratch marker Terry, through consistent driving and tight play round the greens, drove his opponent into the ground so to speak.

Next weeks sees more pennant matches in Canberra, and single stablefords on Wednesday and Saturday with round three of the super stableford event on Sunday.

Cooma wins inter-towns tennis

Wednesday March 16, 2011

Rain affected cricket matches In the B Grade Grand Final between Berridale and Cats an under strength Berridale won the toss and elected to bowl on a very wet Berridale ground.

D Asanovski (20) and G Van Der Platt (16) laid down a solid platform against the under strength Berridale outfit.

The Cats, after nine overs were 0/36 and looked like posting a very competetive total until J Mugridge (3/28) removed the dangerous Asanovski.

The next over Van Der Plaat was caught in the deep by a diving Ben Hearn and before you could blink the cats had fallen to 3/38.

Corey Harmer (24) and Stu Wood (7) put on a very handy 32 run partnership with the help of some sloppy Berridale fielding and some favourable umpiring descicions.

Adam Hayes (3/26) eventually removed both batsman and continued his fine wicket taking season. The Cats limped to be all out for 100 runs in the 39th over.

Berridale started their innings quite calmly just picking off the bad balls and the 100 runs didn’t seem all that far away.

The Berridale opening pair of Hearn (43) and Taylor (18)

The Southwell-Williams Cup Inter-towns Tennis started on a high, last Sunday March 6, at Cooma’s Royal Tennis Courts with the Cooma team beating Queanbeyan 2 by 4 sets.

The Cup continues once a month, travelling around to the participating towns and cities right across the district including Queanbeyan, Jerrabomberra, Goulburn, Gunning, Bookham and of course Cooma.

The Cooma women’s team consists of Kate Tull, Pam Kimber, Jenny Brown and Kay Bylund and the men’s team is made up of Daniel Fraser, Phillip Paten-McDonald, Ken Parker and Les Robinson.

The men’s team and the women’s team played doubles matches with the winner being the best of 3 sets, and then played 2 sets in the mixed doubles.

With much joy in the air over their highly successful win, the Cooma team celebrated with Peter Marsicano, a finalist in the Cooma a few drinks at the Alpine Hotel that evening.

Bowling Club’s 2010 major singles championship, was forced to pull out all stops to win his first round match in the 2011 championship.

The match was the highlight of the nine first round matches completed on Saturday on another weekend when bowlers dodged the rain to complete all scheduled matches.

Snowy Mountains District Womens Bowls recently In a marathon of 41 ends Marsicano held a big event for our district with the play off of came from behind on several occasions the group triples. to down Geoff Venables by 32 – 30 with Monday saw the team of Margaret Baar, Pamela three shots on the last end. Venables Reynolds and Joy Clarke from Tura Beach defeat held the upper hand for most of the the Far South Coast team of Pamela Baird, Jean game. Playing very consistent bowls he Beeley and Joy Smith from Batemans Bay. had set up a 23 – 16 lead by the 28th The game remained very close for over half the end before Marsicano staged a strong way and then the Tura Beach team showed their recovery. By the 32nd end the scores supremecy and drew ahead. It was a great game were tied at 23 all. for the spectators.

The following nine ends were very tight.

Tuesday saw our local team of Glenda Daal, Marsicano took the lead for the first time Ayleen Madden and Lyn McMahon from on the 38th end to move to 29 – 27.

The young Berridale tail was exposed after the cheap dismisals of O’Keeffe and Hayes and when Hearn to the bowling of Wood (2-12) fell with the score on 75 the 100 runs was seeming a long way away.

Stapleton (3-0) and Asanovski (2-19) polished off the long Berridale tail in quick time- Berridale all out for 82.

Impressive first grade debut Last Sunday March 13, local young gun Sam Williams, made his debut in first grade football for Canberra Raiders, being named man of the match in the game against the Sharks.

Sam previously played for first grade in one of the trial matches and due to half-back, Matt Orford, still being out from injury, Sam was asked to play for first grade again.

“It was a big difference to playing for Under 20s or in a trial match. The crowd was the biggest I’ve ever played in front of, which made me much more nervous than usual but I had

lots of my friends and family there to support me,” Sam said.

Sam played an excellent game, setting up a couple of tries and receiving man of the match.

The crowd consisted of over 13,500 people.

“The atmosphere was awesome – I hadn’t experienced it before,” Sam commented.

“The whole day was pretty big!”

Matt Orford is predicted to return to play next weekend so Sam will most likely play back on the Under 20s team.

Congratulations on such a great game Sam! Sam Williams was named man of the match in his first grade debut against Sharks on Sunday.
