WELCOME HOME Welcome home to Cooma town

This weekend’s back to Cooma reunion has seen more than 500 people register through the BacktoCooma website, and both the Friday night Big Party in the Park and Sunday’s gala dinner have sold out.

The ticket sales for all the events have amounted to 850, with 380 attending the Friday night party and more than 240 attending Sunday night’s dinner.

The weekend kicks off on Friday with registrations in Centennial Park from 12 noon.

At 2pm, the new coffee table book ’Monaro’ will be launched.

There will also be music and a cake stall in the park during the afternoon.

At 6pm, the doors open for the Big Party.

This is being catered for by Roses’ Restaurant, with a floorshow provided by Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen.

They will be performing some of the songs they wrote for last year’s stage show ‘Ghosts in the Scheme’.

On Saturday, the Cooma Leos will conduct a Fun Run from Nijong Oval and there are various sports groups holding special back to Cooma competitions.

The main event on Saturday is the street parade, starting at 3pm.

This parade will be led by piper Cathy Henderson, with town crier Andrew Dawes making sure everyone knows it’s on.

There are more than 50 floats entered in the street parade which is expected to take about an hour to travel along Sharp Street.

Peter Longhurst will provide the commentary for the parade.

At about 4pm, the special Easter rodeo will start at Cooma Showground.

Later, the 50s and 60s Rock and Roll dance will be held at the Cooma ExServices Club, while at the Cooma Bowling Club, the Cooma ambulance personnel will hold a reunion celebrating 75 years of service to the community.

On Sunday night, the gala dinner will kick off at 6pm.

On this special night, the Cooma Hall

Holger Brockmann

Steve Liebmann One of Cooma’s favourite sons, Steve Liebmann will speak at the Back to Cooma reunion gala dinner on Sunday night.

Born in Cooma, Steve was a student at Monaro High School and became a journalist in Cooma on Radio 2XL while still in high school.

He hosted “Teen Scene” from 5:30 pm to 6:00pm week daily playing the latest recordings.

His sign off at the end of the show was “Bye, bye and you keep smiling”. He moved to Canberra in 1962 and worked at 2CA, before moving to Sydney in 1967 to take up a position with Channel Seven’s Sydney bureau as news editor and onair presenter. The following year he became a senior journalist at Radio 2UE, and presented an afternoon news and public affairs program on the station which became the top show in its timeslot. He eventually became Director of News and Public Affairs at the station.

In 1976, he left to join 2SM and also became the host of Seven’s 11AM program and anchored the station’s Sydney evening news. He hosted the

of Fame will be launched, with several ‘icons’ being inducted. Two of Cooma’s favourite sons, Steve Liebmann and Holger Brockmann will be in attendance.

Unfortunately actress sisters Carmen and Paula Duncan have had to cancel their attendance due to acting commitments overseas.

Cr Rogan Corbett’s big secret will also be unveiled on Sunday night and this should be a wonderful surprise for all and sundry.

Monday morning has been reserved for a farewell breakfast in Centennial Park, cooked by the Salvation Army, with all proceeds going to the Salvos.

Willesee program on several occasions and wrote articles for The Bulletin and Men In Vogue.

In late 1981 he joined the Nine Network as the original co-host of the national Today alongside Sue Kellaway, staying with that program until 1987, when he joined the Ten Network to anchor TEN-10 Sydney’s Eyewitness News alongside Geraldine Doogue.

He rejoined the Today program in 1990 and remained at the Nine Network presenting the program across Australia five days a week until January 2005.

In 2002–2003, Liebmann appeared on television advertisements for a counterterrorism advertising campaign on behalf of the Federal Government He presented Ten Weekend News bulletin in Sydney during 2006, and more recently has hosted Foxtel’s Crime Investigation Australia

show focusing on infamous Australian crimes.

He also has a contract with 2UE and does some corporate work and public speaking.

He is the recipient of several journalistic awards, including the “News Presenter of the Year” from the Australian Commercial Radio Industry and the Penguin Award- for Special Recognition for Contribution to News

Holger Brockmann is another of Cooma’s favourite sons to make a name in radio.

Like Steve Liebmann, Holger is a former student of Monaro High School.

He began his career in commercial radio in the 1960s and worked for several years in the early 1970s at 2SM, then Australia’s top-rating pop music station.

In line with the prevailing practice in commercial radio at that time, Brockman was obliged to adopt the anglophone pseudonym “Bill Drake” while working at 2SM. Brockmann is best known in Australia for being the first presenter on air on January 19, 1975, when the ABC’s new rock music station Double Jay commenced broadcasting, at which time he reverted to using his real name.

According to the liner notes for the album Rodriguez Alive, Brockmann was instrumental in popularising the music of cult singer-songwriter Sixto Rodriguez in Australia after he

purchased a copy of Rodriguez’s debut album Cold Fact and began playing the song “Sugar Man” on his 2SM evening shift in 1972.

After his move to Double Jay in 1975 Brockmann regularly played songs from the entire Rodriguez oeuvre.

Brockmann is currently a presenter with ABC News Radio.

Monaro High School was started in 1954 to accommodate the growing number of Snowy Scheme teenagers. Over its 62 year history, MHS has seen many of its graduates excel in many fields, including medicine, sport, journalism and the arts.

WELCOME HOME Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen

St Paul’s Anglican Church Over the past 90 years, St Paul’s has retained a commanding presence in Cooma and the surrounding district.

The parish includes six centres – Adaminaby, Bredbo, Jerangle, Numeralla, Nimmiitabel and Cooma, and was influenced heavily by the arrival of the Snowy Mountains Scheme in the 1950s.

2015 marked the sesquicentenary of St Paul’s and this milestone was marked by several services and events during the year.

Performing in Cooma at the Friday night dinner and show in Centennial Park, 25 March 2016, Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen will perform songs from their new album ‘After The Flood’. The album was written and inspired by the history of Cooma, the Snowy Mountains and the Monaro Plains.

Like a coat of many colours or a multifaceted gem, Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentleman are an amazing mixture of music and theatre. The band has spent a fair amount of time in and around Cooma discovering the history of the area and the amazing European vibe that the migrant Snowy workers brought to Cooma. These stories and experiences have culminated in a collection of songs and music about the area.

Mikel’s Croatian father moved to Canberra after working for some time on the Snowy Scheme. He grew up hearing stories and anecdotes about the migrant experience on the Scheme.

Two other band members also grew up in Canberra, one attended university there and now lives in Candelo, as does another band member. So there is very much a local connection between the band and the region.

Consisting of violin (Rufino), clarinet (The Great Muldavio), accordion (Guido Libido),

double bass (Little Ivan) and acoustic guitar (Mikelangelo), the Black Sea Gentlemen take their inspiration from the Balkan gypsy bands of the early 20th century.

Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen have taken their special brand of Cabaret Noire to the four corners of the world, playing in speigletents, at festivals and in major theatres. From several appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Sydney and Melbourne Arts Festivals to tours through Europe and New Zealand, through Western Australia and the Northern Territory and appearing at outback schools, playing the Sydney Opera House and London’s West End to the National Folk Festival in Canberra. This Easter, the band’s special brand of music and theatre with a touch of black comedy has made them favourites where ever they go. The natural result of this globetrotting while producing such memorable stage shows is the winning of multiple awards such as the Green Room Award for cabaret (peer awards recognising excellence in cabaret, dance, drama, fringe theatre, musical theatre and opera in Melbourne) and the Time Out London Critics Choice Award to mention two, and receiving great critical acclaim.

Cooma to benefit from new regional hospital in Bega Cooma Hospital Manager Antje Badger says that the opening of the new South East Regional Hospital (SERH) Health will provide a wider range of services for patients in the Cooma area.

“The opening of this new hospital will have a very positive impact on our community,” says Mrs Badger, “It will mean patients requiring a higher level of care or different care to what we are able to provide are able to go to a facility closer to home. For example the number of mental health beds is increasing, which means less patients will have to travel to Goulburn for treatment.”

“We have a very good working relationship with Bega already.

In fact we have three orthopaedic surgeons and a general surgeon that come from Bega to visit Cooma.

This relationship will

continue and the services we provide here in Cooma will not be changing as a result of the SERH opening.”

The SERH officially opened on Tuesday March 8.

Health and ambulance staff successfully completed moving patients the 2.3km journey between the Bega Hospital to the SERH by 8am that morning.

Half an hour earlier, the Emergency Department at Bega Hospital was closed and the new Emergency Department at SERH

All the patients were safely relocated to the new hospital by lunchtime.

Bega Valley Health Service Manager, Heather Austin, said the Bega Hospital had temporarily suspended elective surgery late the previous week to ensure the lowest possible number of patients were affected by the move. Elective surgery has now resumed at SERH. “The new $187 million hospital offers state of the art care for all our patients in a much larger environment than what we had become used to over the past 60 years,” said Heather Austin.

“Our community

health clinics also resumed at SERH this morning, while the first renal clinic will be held this Friday, and the first oncology clinic will be held this Friday.”

The owner of the property was in a farm shed at the time and did not realise his home was on fire until a community member raised the alarm.

It was first thought the owner was inside the home at the time, however he was unharmed.

NSW Fire and Rescue were first on scene and found the house to be fully involved and partially collapsed.

All efforts were made to save the property, however it was totally destroyed.

Police are investigating the cause of the fire with specialists being contacted to assist.

No other properties were affected and no person was injured as a result.

ANU med students get taste of the bush CUC year begins

ANU medical students are in Cooma and district this week to experience life as a medical practitioner in the country.

The students will be involved with a number of different activities and organisations during their stay and hopefully many of them will seriously consider returning to the bush to practise medicine after graduation. The students are pictured with Cooma-Monaro Shire mayor Dean Lynch at a civic reception on Monday night.

Lake Wallace due for completion in mid-May A crowd of curious locals attended the Lake Wallace Dam construction site on Saturday March 19 for the Open Day. Cooma-Monaro Shire Council’s project director Keith Walker hosted the day, answering questions and showing the attendees the progress made on the project. Mr Walker told the gathering that the original completion date had been pushed back by about six weeks after some inclement weather last year, including snowfall.

Lake Wallace was originally proposed by the Nimmitabel Advancement Group (NAG) as a possible answer to the severe water shortage in the village during times of drought. With bores decreasing each year and level six water restrictions being imposed on the community, something needed to be done. In 2009, NAG was granted a $50,000 government grant for a feasibility study for a water storage facility on Pigring Creek. In November 2014, the NSW government announced a $5.3 million grant under the Restart NSW Fund Water Security for Regions to construct the 320 mega litre Lake Wallace Dam. The dam is being constructed with a clay core earth and rock embankments and a reinforced concrete overflow spillway.

Mr Walker said one of the most important things about the project has been the involvement of local people in the process.

The construction contractor undertaking the job is RD Miller, which is based in Bega. Other local subcontractors used for the project include Sapphire Coast Engineering (Eden), Tablelands Explosives

The CUC has just celebrated its third year of operation since opening on March 6 2013! The Centre has been a successful joint initiative of Snowy Hydro Limited and the Cooma Monaro Shire Council.

CUC Manager Zoe Dawson hopes to see many more of the CUC’s future goals be met, and is excited to see the community support grow.

“It’s great to see the community support strengthen as we continue to grow. It’s been a pleasure to be a part of something that benefits our community so greatly!”

Over the past three years the significant achievements of the CUC include: • 149 local students enrol to utilise the centre, 38 of whom are registered for semester one, 2016; • Successful running of two full degrees since being implemented last year; • Gaining significant state and national attention as a model for regional tertiary education • Some students who have utilised the CUC have no graduated The CUC currently has students studying with 27 different Universities across Australia, with two of these being partnered with the CUC. Local students

have the opportunity to study a Bachelor of Education, in partnership with CQUniversity, and also a degree in Events and Tourism in partnership with the University of Canberra.

The CUC facilitates tutorials year round for both degrees, and for 2016 the academic year has just begun! “It’s great to see how well the students have done in their first year of studies, and we all wish them well for the coming year,” says Chairman Duncan Taylor.

The Bachelor of Education students have returned to study as of March 9, and are looking forward to tackling the work load. Tanya Dodds, one of the students who started last year, has enjoyed studying the degree immensely.

“The CUC is important to my studies because it provides a quiet study zone; there is no way I could have done it without the centre.”

People who are interested in studying locally through the CUC, please get in contact with Jayde Myers (jayde@coomauc.com. au) or Shannon PaytenMcDonald (shannon@ coomauc.com.au) or call the centre on (02) 6452 3368.

(Canberra), GHD (Canberra), Coffey Geotechnical (Canberra), Boral Concrete (Bombala) and Cooma Cranes (Cooma). With some individual workers from Nimmitabel, Berridale, Nowra and Bombala, the project really has been a local effort.

“The only person involved in the process who has not been from the region was the designer, who is based in Sydney,” said Mr Walker. According to Mr Walker, Lake Wallace is the first dam to be constructed in NSW in about 20 years.

March is Southcare Awareness month BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ms Ngaire McCrindle Congratulations to the organisers of the Bombala Show, it was a great day with so much to see and do. The Hall was overflowing with exhibits and all events were hotly contested. Both the Bombala and Delegate Shows have highlighted the great wealth of talent we have in our community.

At the March Council meeting the Mayor informed Council, that following recent discussions with and announcements by the NSW Government the following is now apparent: 1. Money available to assist with merger costs for rural/regional Councils is capped at $5 million.

This is despite the fact that in our instance we are aware the cost will be higher. We are particularly concerned about IT costs and connectivity between four regional offices.

2. The $15 million promised for community infrastructure is more than likely to be accessed via a grant process and hence there is no guarantee that our area (Bombala LGA) will receive any funds.

3. The conditions Bombala Council required to be met for a voluntary merger are unlikely to be considered in the drafting of any proclamation.

In the light of the above, Council considers that the proposed merger of Bombala Council, Snowy River and Cooma Monaro Shire Councils would not be a voluntary merger from Bombala Council’s point of view.

Readers are reminded that the Bombala Campdraft will be taking place at the Bombala Racecourse this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Admittance is FREE.

Cooma Rotary Club held its annual Michelago meeting last Wednesday night.

Guest speaker for the evening was Snowy Hydro Southcare CEO Chris Kimbell.

An inspiring speaker, Chris spoke about the service, established in the late 90s, that has made over 6000 flights.

The service area extends north to Orange, west to Hay, south to the Victorian border, and up the east coast from Eden to Ulladulla.

He told his personal story of being diagnosed with nonHodgkin’s lymphoma when his children

were just six and two, the difficulty of not being able to touch them when he was undergoing chemotherapy, and the knowledge that he was given just a 50-50 chance of surviving.

He is proud of the helicopter service, giving examples of rescued patients who have gone from strength to strength, especially a boy whose leg had to be amputated below the knee after being involved in a farm accident.

That boy will be competing, as a favourite, in the 100 metres run at the coming Paralympics.

What’s on at the

Chris Kimball, CEO of Snowy Hydro SouthCare Helicopter Service, with Cooma Rotarian Elaine Schofield who organised the Rotary Club duck race last year to raise funds for the service.

Jindabyne’s new accessible playground Livvi’s Place Jindabyne was opened for all on Sunday 20th March, with the celebrations starting at 11am.

Many members of the community came along to the Banjo Patterson Reserve for the fancy dress party to celebrate the community driven project finally being completed.

Livvi’s Place is the result of a partnership with Snowy River Shire Council, in conjunction with national charity, Touched by Olivia Foundation, and is supported by the NSW Government.

Touched by Olivia Foundation works in partnership with local governments, communities and corporations to create inclusive playspaces that invite people to play side by side, regardless of their ability.

The playspace through considerate design and research, includes equipment specifically designed for accessibility and inclusion, spaces that will engage all of the senses, and allows carers to remain in close proximity to their charges if required.

Founder of Touched by Olivia Foundation Justine Perkins, whose daughter Olivia inspired the foundation following her death at the age of eight months to Lymphangioma, said “Livvi’s Place will be a special place where people of all ages can play side-by-side, hand-in-hand, regardless of their abilities.

Our vision is that every community will have a Livvi’s Place in the next decade.”

Touched by Olivia relies on volunteers to help realise the dream of inclusion.

Local community driver Louise Williams, is a long term resident who has seen this five year project come to fruition. She went to council with a vision and from there has worked with Touched by Olivia

to drive this project, leading fundraising campaigns, assisting in design and coordinating volunteer events. She has stamped her spot at Livvi’s Place with a paver that she has purchased reading “Be the change you want to be in the world”.

Local MP John Barilaro has championed Livvi’s Place from the very beginning. Mr Barilaro believes that the children of the region are the real winners here, and applauded the projects initiative to bring together both state and local government with the community.

Mayor John Cahill from Snowy River Council said “I would like to acknowledge all those involved in delivering this project. It is a great example of the importance of working in partnership with our community, TBO, State and Local government. Council is delighted to have a great new asset for our community that will be accessible for all abilities.”

REX flies in for winter Regional Express (Rex), in partnership with Snowy Mountains Airport Corporation Pty Ltd (SMAC), officially launched its Snowy Mountains (Cooma) to Sydney Regular Public Transport (RPT) services in a ceremony held at the Snowy Mountains Airport this morning.

The ceremony took place following the inaugural service’s arrival from Sydney.

On hand to witness the launch were guests and VIPs including the Member for Monaro and Minister for the areas of Regional Development, Skills, and Small Business John Barilaro and Snowy Mountains Airport Corporation Chairman Mr Kevin Blyton, as well as representatives from local business and tourism organisations.

Commenting on the new service Rex Deputy Chairman John Sharp said, “We are excited to reestablish RPT services to the Snowy Mountains; to provide this vital link between the region and

the “Back to Cooma” celebrations that are planned.

However just because these businesses can open doesn’t mean they will. Each of the four days over Easter is a declared public holiday and so staff are generally paid penalty rates of double time and a half. “Unfortunately the high rates mean that many in retail particularly will make economic decisions on whether they should open their doors for all of Easter” explained Kathy.

“The Chamber’s retail group has indicated that most businesses will be open on Saturday, however it is owner operators that will be primarily manning their stores to open their doors on the other days.

This is not always practical for all businesses. There has been a strong response from hospitality to open their doors which is fantastic and critical to the success of our Easter weekend.”

The Fair Work Commission is currently reviewing penalty rates in a number of hospitality and retail awards. Their focus has been on Sunday penalty rates with their preliminary draft suggesting Sunday rates be reduced to Saturday loadings. At this stage there is no hint they are looking at public holiday rates.

per cent travel on to regional NSW. This new direct flight from Sydney to the Snowy Mountains will make it easier for international visitors to discover the wonders of the Monaro during both winter and summer seasons,” he said.

Retail trading over Easter The ability for retailers to trade on certain days of the year is restricted. These days include Good Friday, Easter Sunday and prior to 1pm on ANZAC Day. However there are exemptions, some of which are locational and in the case of Cooma-Monaro Shire this ensures that our retailers are able to trade this Good Friday and Easter Sunday however the exemption by location is not available for ANZAC Day. There is a small shop exemption also available which applies to two owner operators with up to four regular employees.

Other stores in the Shire wanting to open on ANZAC Day before 1pm will need to apply through the Department of Industrial Relations and show the exceptional circumstances as to why that should be the case. The application must be submitted 28 days prior to the restricted day – so there is still limited time to consider ANZAC Day requests.

President of the Cooma Chamber of Commerce Kathy Kelly, said, “It is great to have the locational exemption. As a tourist town and region this is critical to looking after those visiting and passing through and this year is even more important with

Sydney.

We have worked with Snowy Mountains Airport Corporation over the past months to develop the flight schedules and to promote the services, and will continue to work in partnership with them and local stakeholders to provide a sustainable air service for the longterm benefit of the residents of the Snowy Mountains and the business and tourism sectors operating in the region.”

Chairman of Snowy Mountains Airport Corporation, Kevin Blyton is delighted that Rex has commenced services into Snowy Mountains Airport.

Commemorating Southern Cloud’s 85th anniversary The 85th anniversary of Australia’s first major airline disaster was recognised on Monday with a return visit to the Southern Cloud crash site in Kosciuszko National Park by the former Snowy worker who found the wreckage.

The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) accompanied Mr Tom Sonter who discovered the wreckage in 1958 in what remains a very, steep and heavily forested section of the park.

“Fifty eight years ago I was walking at Deep Creek and saw a small mound of earth that looked out of place,”

said Mr Sonter.

“Naturally it made me curious so I went over to investigate.

A small piece of steel was sticking out of some leaves, I absentmindedly put my hand in it then looked up to see what it was.

“I immediately recognized it as the tail section of a plane.

This was an absolute moment of shock to me if you can imagine it – my brain registering it’s a plane,” recalls Mr Sonter.

Frank Rodwell , who worked on road construction nearby in 1956 and has gone on to document the history of the Snowy

General Manager, JOE VESCIO

A while ago I wrote in my column about the high number of Development Applications being processed in this financial year. As of Tuesday 15 March, Council achieved a milestone as we have now received the same number of applications, that were received for the whole 2014/15 financial year.

Scheme, also visited the crash site on Monday.

“Today’s visit and even travelling on the road into the park will give me an opportunity to recall that incredible period in my life,” Mr Rodwell said.

“I was working on the roads some 60 years ago and had no idea that the wreckage, and the answer to the famous Southern Cloud mystery, was on the steep ridge just across the gorge,” said Mr Rodwell.

N P W S Environmental Officer Gabriel Wilks said that Tom and Frank’s stories and the plight of the Southern Cloud are part of Kosciuszko National Park’s rich, but lesser known history.

“It is a great honour taking these men back to the site today because their stories provide a different perspective on the park that

reveal its extraordinary cultural history in addition to its natural beauty,” said Ms Wilks.

“The development of the Snowy Scheme, its values and impacts are undoubtedly part of the park and today, 85 years on, we remember another period in the park’s history and pay our respects at the crash site,” said Ms Wilks.

The Southern Cloud, part of the Australian National Airlines fleet disappeared on route from Sydney to Melbourne in 1932.

Eight people lost their lives in the crash that saw the plane come down near Mount Jagungal in Kosciuszko National Park. The disaster is marked with public memorials at the nearby townships of Tooma and Cooma and is recognised at the National Museum of Australia where parts of the wreckage are stored.

Considering that there is still three and half months before the end of the current financial year, we will certainly exceed last year’s total. Along with Development Applications, Council has also received a record number of all application types which are assessed by Council’s Planning Department Team.

This high number of applications has not been seen in almost 10 years and it is a great indication that development in the Shire is continuing, positive economic growth and that our area is a choice for investment and living.

If you are holidaying this Easter, or if you will be travelling to the many events that are being held over the weekend, I urge everyone to please consider the road conditions and drive safely.

$910 million boost Scrubbing up at Currawarna Hostel creates over 17,000 new aged care places Thousands of Australians will benefit from a substantial increase in funding for aged care services, with the Australian Government announcing 17,385 new aged care places worth an estimated $910 million.

Announcing the results of the 2015 Aged Care Approvals Round (ACAR) and new arrangements for the 2016 ACAR, Minister for Aged Care Sussan Ley said the additional funding would benefit thousands of older Australians.

Of the 17,385 new places, 10,940 include new residential places worth an estimated $678.3 million and 6,445 new home care places, worth an estimated $232.4 million.

“These new home care places help our elderly remain in their own home and receive the care they need, which is particularly important for anyone with highlevel needs,” Ms Ley said.

“The Turnbull Government is also investing an additional $67 million in capital grants across the nation to help approved providers establish new services or upgrade existing facilities.”

This is the last ACAR to include home care places. From February 2017 funding will follow the consumer not the provider, allowing people to choose the care which suits their individual needs and then direct funding to that provider.

“Australians want greater choice and control over the care they receive and the changes to home care we’ve created do exactly that,” Minister Wyatt said.

Applications for the 2016 ACAR round will commence in June and focus on the provision of residential aged care places and capital funding, as well as introducing, for the first time, short-term restorative care places.

Short-term restorative care provides an eight week programme, designed with the care recipient, which provides re-ablement and restorative care services in a home setting, a residential setting, or combination of the two.

More information about the results of the 2015 Aged Care Approvals Round is available at www.dss.gov.au/2015ACAR

The staff at Bombala’s Currawarna Hostel for the Aged are looking particularly sharp lately!

New uniforms were introduced at all Southern Cross facilities this month, with the Currawarna crew happy to wear the navy blue outfits, which give a more professional look.

Removal of Tree

At the March Council meeting it was resolved to remove a Popular growing on the Railway Land in Mahratta Street, Bombala.

The tree has been inspected and is considered to be fairly unhealthy and unsuitable in an urban environment. There is concern with regard to its structural integrity particularly in high wind conditions with it close proximity to power lines. Pruning the affected tree which has a number of dead branches will not improve its appearance or contribute to the overall amenity of the streetscape.

Celebrate Easter across the region at our Easter Fairs Berridale Easter Fair Easter approaches and so does the Berridale Lions Easter Fair. The Fair will be held on Easter Saturday 26 March between 9-00AM and 2-00 PM in the Lions Park and Central Park beside Jindabyne Road Berridale.

Thirty years ago the Berridale Lions Club took over a fair in Berridale that had been run by the Berridale Chamber of Commerce.

The reasons for the request lie in the intention of the Chamber of Commerce to cease functioning.

In adopting the Fair as a project the Club determined that it wanted to provide a vehicle whereby other non-profit organisations could raise funds. This concept makes it significantly different from other fairs run at various times in the area.

The first few Lions Easter Fairs were held in the car park outside the Berridale Hotel. The venue was changed to the Lions Park as the ground was softer underfoot and there was plenty of shade.

This Fair is remarkable not only for its longevity - 31 years is a significant age for a community event - but also for the fact that the organisers operate on a shoestring budget. The reason for this lies in the fact that the object of the Lions Club is to raise money that it can return to the community through worthwhile projects. Expensive budgets waste valuable funds better used for the benefit of the community.

The importance of this event in the Snowy River Shire was recognised on Australia Day when the Club President Tony Hayes received a Community Event Award.

The Fair is essentially a ‘local’ fair and

community groups can still use the Fair to raise funds for themselves. However public expectations have meant that the Club has had to permit access to commercial marketeers so that the variety of goods available now is much greater than when the Fair first started.

The Club introduced the “Monster Fair” concept in 2012 and it has proved very successful. The object of the fair is to provide patrons with events and activities that might be of interest to them, together with musical entertainment and an exceptionally wide variety of stalls and hence goods that might gain their interest.

• At this Easter Fair the main activities and attractions will be a variety of displays including Aitchison House, Blacksmithing, SES, RFS, Vintage Cars, and Ex-Snowy Heavy Machinery.

• Children are catered for with a petting zoo, a jumping castle and an Easter egg scramble conducted by our own Easter Bunny.

• Live music has always been a feature of the Fair and this year buskers will be used in at least two locations so that music will be audible throughout the whole fair.

The Fair is a significant source of income for the Berridale Lions who are generally the sole hot food providers on the site. In addition to food sales the club is running a Dutch Auction for loads of firewood. Income raised from the public by the Lions is used to assist the community.

Concurrent with the Fair the women of the Berridale branch of the CWA will be selling Devonshire teas and craft items in their hall

beside the Anglican Church The members of the Berridale Lions Club are looking forward to seeing a large gathering of people on Easter Saturday.

Adaminaby Easter Fair The 2015 Adaminaby Easter Fair was one of the biggest on record, and 2016 promises to be just as good with over 70 registered stalls and a huge range of entertainment already locked in.

The fair, held on March 26, has a big community focus and there will be a range of games and competitions held on the day to cater to the whole community.

The theme of the 2016 fair will be ‘the year of the monkey’, following on from the

Chinese Year of the Monkey.

There will be a monkey face competition to accompany the classic Easter bonnet parade, a monkey call and a banana eating competition.

Entrants to the fair will also have the opportunity to flex their muscles in the tug of war competition and their stomachs in the pie eating competition, where the current record stands at five and a half pies in three minutes.

To accompany the huge variety of fun games and events on the day, visitors to the fair will also have access to the Adaminaby museum and the Adaminaby Hall where the world famous stage curtain will be on display.

Country music sensation Jay Podger will be providing music and children’s author Rolf Svensen will be reading stories and entertaining the kids with his guitar.

The fair will once again host ‘Adaminaby’s Got Talent’ for the kids, and event organiser Tim Corkill said it is a great event that the kids really enjoy.

Mr Corkill said that last years’ event was a great success and this year is expected to go very well.

“Last year there was 500 visitors and it was one of the most successful we have ever had with the most stalls we have ever had,” he said.

“Things are shaping up really well.”

The Adaminaby Easter Fair is held in Denison Street and is sure to be a fantastic event for locals and visitors to the Snowy Mountains are encouraged to stop by and witness some of the community culture of the scenic town.

Riding for disadvantaged kids Final Touches, final days

Bombala’s Chris Ryan will close the door to Final Touches for the last time on April 9.

Friday, 11 March, will see corporate volunteers shed their suits for three days of motorcycle leathers, clocking up thousands of kilometres in the 17th annual motorcycle rally geared to raise funds to improve the lives of at risk and disadvantaged children and young people including those in out-of-home-care (i.e. foster, residential or kinship care).

The riders travelled through the Snowy Mountains on the Saturday and Sunday as part of the ride, which has worked to raise over $700,000 over the past 16 years.

roads and great company over the 2,500 kms we covered! It’s just fantastic that we can engage the community in supporting the excellent work done by Create Foundation to support children in out-of-home care.

“Since most of the riders have children of their own, all of us feel the same in that we want to do our bit to help young people who face extra challenges in life,” a spokesperson for the group said.

Money can be donated to the Corners4Kids fundraiser at https://www.givematcher.com.au/ corners-4-kids-2016

After 22 years of leading the way in fashion in Bombala, local business, Final Touches is about to close its doors.

Owner, Chris Ryan has had her clothing and jewellery business for sale for a few months now and feels it is time to move on.

“Running your own small business for over 20 years is a big commitment, and I’m just ready to step back,” Chris said.

“I’ve enjoyed my years with Final Touches, and would really like to thank everyone for their support.”

Chris also assures us that she intends to stay in the local area to enjoy her retirement.

Meanwhile the clearance sale that is now on at Final Touches has been incredibly popular, with the huge reductions luring big numbers in the doors; a particular interest having been shown in the jewellery.

If you’d like to make the most of the bargains you need to move quickly however, with Chris set to close the doors to Final Touches for the last time on April 9.

the

postman calls

This weekend promises to be a biggie for Cooma, with more than 500 people registered for the Back to Cooma reunion.

Both of the main events are a sell-out, which is very pleasing for the organising committee. This band of mostly volunteers, has worked well together to put on a good ‘do’ for the town and deserves a pat on the back.

This weekend is the precursor to a continuing celebration – whether that be annual or biennial.

One thing’s for sure – having a street parade through old Cooma town for the first time in more than 20 years has The old Postman excited!

The Postman has been surprised of late to hear so many people, intelligent, community-minded people, indicating that they would rather not vote in future elections.

There must be something not right if people would rather cop a fine or vote invalid rather than cast a vote.

Are our politicians not listening to us?

Surely not!

Numeralla black spot Editor, Re the article on Page 15 of your March 9 edition headlined “Mobile Black Spot Program round two”.

The article apparently quotes Dr Hendy, stating; “Round 1 of the programme delivered improved mobile phone coverage to the Monaro with a new tower in Numeralla.”

I feel that a correction is in order, perhaps he was misquoted? There has been NO upgrade of the mobile phone network in Numeralla to date. There has only been an announcement of funding for Numeralla from the Round 1 programme, made back in April 2015. Despite a number of attempts to find out more, we have no idea when monies will actually be spent at Numeralla, or what technical solution will be implemented; ie where its infrastructure will be located.

However there may be some confusion with the actual construction of a tower near the village for wireless NBN coverage? This tower has been constructed, but is yet to go live. It has also, we are told, been built to

allow for co-location of mobile phone infrastructure, if that is determined to be cost effective. No announcements have yet been made.

NDAI, aka Numeralla and District Activities Incorporated, or the local community association, has been lobbying for the mobile phone tower to be built on a site at the ‘Hangman’ off Peak View Road which would serve not only the Numeralla village, but a far wider area, including Tuross, Carlaminda, Countegany, and parts of the Badja, Jerangle, Peak View and Rose Valley areas, all identified as black spots.

At face value, the construction of mobile phone infrastructure at the ‘Hangman’, for the incremental cost of 1.5 kms of mains power, that would serve an area many times larger than the village precinct seems to offer value for OUR money.

We continue to await improved mobile phone coverage in the Numeralla District.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst After all the media coverage every time someone’s private stuff gets nicked from supposedly secure online sites, I can’t believe how many people are still putting things up in the misplaced belief that if the site is “locked” or “private” then it is safe.

Well if you believe that, you’ll believe anything.

Think back to the Cloud hack and Ashley Madison. The banks, utilities, commercial and telecommunications sites whose client lists have ended up in the hands of someone who cracked their way into those sites. A clever hacker can crack their way into anything really which is why I was so exasperated over the news regarding a photo of a young woman that was lifted from a supposedly private site and circulated, much to the young woman’s distress. But hey, why didn’t this possibility occur to her? I mean, the site alone, a Victoria-based site where women can post intimate pictures of themselves (huh?) was a risk in my opinion anyway! But why would you want to go there anyway?

Okay fine, to each her own but I still fail to see the point of this site. But I can see where posting pics there is not the wisest decision, given the internet is so not private and regardless of what security measures are apparently in place on any given site (including your own pages) there are no guarantees that whatever you are posting won’t one day end up in the hands of some unscrupulous type who will post your

privacy all over the net.

Yet there are so many out there who are not getting the message. There is no such thing as “private” on the internet! Sure, the average internet user is unlikely to want to go hacking others and probably wouldn’t be able to get into someone else’s site even if they did want to as generally, site security measures will stop the average person, but there are a number of individuals out there who have the knowhow and can crack a site in just minutes and they do it because they enjoy it. And then they do things with the content.

Really unpleasant things.

But, you know, I’ve had this conversation before in this column, where I’ve stated quite bluntly that if there is an image or something you most definitely would not want your family/partner/friends/kids/workmates/ employer to see then Do Not Put It Online! Better still, just don’t do the pics at all! It could save you the embarrassment of any possible future revenge porn for a start. Or from some hacker who uses their unlawful entry into your life to their advantage or worse, opts to share all your personal information along with your nudie bits with the online world, which means it will be everywhere and it will never go away. Is this a chance you really want to take? That’s the question you need to ask yourself before you join any risky sites or post those risqué images. If the thought of exposure makes you feel even the teensiest bit sick, then perhaps you shouldn’t do it.

Just think about that, okay?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The top pen of cows and calves made $1320, steers made up to 310 cents/kg in line with the top pen of vealers also making 310 cents/kg.The store market was also strong with restock interest coming from the Gippsland, South Coast and the Monaro.

NFF applauds introduction of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;effects testâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to legislation The National Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation (NFF) has applauded the Federal Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s introduction of an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;effects testâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to strengthen Australian competition law and rebalance power for primary producers across the agricultural supply chain.

Announced by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Treasurer Scott Morrison, the effects test will be included in section 46 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (CCA) as recommended by the Harper Review. It will replace the existing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;purpose testâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to shift the onus of consideration from a companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purpose in undertaking conduct to the

effects that conduct can have on competition.

NFF Chief Executive Officer, Tony Mahar, said the effects test had been the subject of significant NFF advocacy efforts given its importance to building open and transparent marketplaces that facilitate high levels of competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This shift towards examining the effects of behaviour will mean a more objective measure to assess the impacts of misuse of market power and anti-competitive behaviour within the supply chain,â&#x20AC;?

Mr Mahar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While we do not view this as a silver bullet solution we do see it as an important tool to not only improve competitiveness but also to drive innovation, productivity and profitability across the sector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The test, in conjunction with the appointment of Mick Keogh as the Australian Competition and Consumer Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Agricultural Commissioner, most certainly creates a more level playing field for all supply chain participants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been an advocacy priority for our organisation and we applaud the efforts of the Deputy Prime Minister and the Nationals in also being proponents of the effects test, as well as Treasurer Scott Morrison for being consultative in approach and listening to industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agriculture has burgeoning global opportunities which, if prioritised accordingly, will be a lead contributor to the national economy. The industry deserves to be positioned as an economic priority, including having a legal framework that facilitates growth and financial gain for all, starting at the very foundation of the sector â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the primary producer.â&#x20AC;?

Do you require aerial spraying to address your weeds?

Cooma-Monaro Shire Council Weeds Management Services will be assisting with the coordination of an aerial spraying program during April/May 2016.

Over the last five years Council has assisted landholders with the coordination of their aerial spraying activities.

These coordinated programs have received positive feedback from landholders involved.

On the back of these reports and with

continuing interest from landholders, the next co-ordinated aerial spray program is scheduled to be undertaken (weather permitting) in Cooma-Monaro Shire from April 18.

The use of helicopters to spray dense infestations of weeds in difficult terrain has proven to be a very cost effective way to address perennial grass weeds including Serrated tussock and African lovegrass.

These weeds have a major impact both

environmentally and also to on our regions agricultural industries.

The chemical generally used in these programs is Fluproponate.

Flupropanate is a grass specific chemical which has a residual effect, ensuring an extended impact on target weeds.

If you would like to participate in the upcoming program or require further information please contact Cooma-

Monaro Shire Council Weed Management Services.

Similar programs will also be conducted

by Bombala and Snowy-River Shires around the same time.

If you require further information, please contact Weed Management Services on (02) 64551941, email council@cooma. nsw.gov.au or Council’s web www. cooma.nsw.gov.au.

The activities we run by the Student Representative Council and featured a traditional Samoan dance by Mikaela Smith and

a presentation by multicultural project worker, Yvi Henderson from the Monaro Family Support Service.

A workshop was run by Art teacher Stan Menshic that encouraged students to explore the symbols of different cultures.

Student created a flag which combines two or more flags from different cultures. These

SIR WILLIAM HUDSON N

MEMORIAL CENTRE AGED CARE FACILITY

With the onset of the cooler weather it is a timely reminder to check the wardrobes of your relatives who are residents. The carers have asked for relatives to look and see if their resident may need more winter clothing.. It is also wise to avoid woolens if you are replacing any items, if possible, as the industrial washing machines can cause them to shrink. The recent laundry review undertaken by our residents has brought about the purchase of a labeling machine for all clothing. Laundry staff will label all of the clothing and this will ensure that they are then returned to the correct cupboards. There will be a reduced starting price for all of the residents and families until May 30th. If you think that you have missing clothes please talk to a carer and arrange a time to check through the unclaimed clothing. A big thank you to Tracy at Miller's for the wonderful assistance she gave to Grazia during her shopping excursion.

Sir William Hudson Memorial Centre recently held the first of its regular Facility Open Day tours with Glenn showing families through our lovely Home. If you would like to attend the next Open Day tour, it will be held on Tuesday 5th April between 2-3pm.

Trudi recently celebrated her birthday in style surrounded by her loving family who arranged a yummy afternoon tea for her to enjoy on the facilities verandah. Happy birthday Trudi!

Our Coffee Shop is now up and running! It will be open each Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 2-4:30pm and will have tea, coffee, and hot chocolates with a piece of cake or biscuit for $4.50. In time the coffee shop will also start selling lollies, toiletries etc. If you have a family member who would love a hot chocolate etc but is unable to attend the shop please advise the office so that it can be delivered to them. All resident's purchases will be charged to their accounts.

Bombala touch finals Bombala Touch Football had a very wet start to its Grand Final evening last Friday, March 18.

The B Grade Final was played between Vipers and Havago, with a very close match going into extra time.

An intercept by Peter Jones put the Vipers in front, and when time ran out the Vipers were the winners.

The A Grade Final was played between Trailblazers and Icemeltit and was a fantastic display of speed and fitness. The Trailblazers ran out winners for the third year in a row.

Special prizes were awarded to the Highest Try Scorer, Ross Jones and the Junior Encouragement Award winner, Paddy Brownlie. These players received $50 vouchers to spend at

On Sunday the Cooma Tigers women’s soccer team travelled to Canberra to play in the preseason competition finals.

First they took on the Goulburn Strikers and after a draw last week the ladies were looking for a win to take them to the final.

The Tigers came out hard putting pressure on the Strikers defence straight away with Tina Baker and Camilla McDonald pushing up in the midfield from the kick off.

The ball seemed to stay in the Strikers half for the first 10 minutes with some shots at goal from the forwards Emily Perkin and Libby Goggin.

Any attempt the Strikers had to score was fended off by Candice Geach and Stacey Kelly who both had strong games in defence.

The Tigers had an opportunity to get first points when a great ball from Tamara Lloyd gave Hymne Truter some space for a shot at goal but was picked up well by their keeper.

Miruna Moruz was straight back up in the Strikers defence with a powerful shot that just clipped the top bar and went out.

A stand out the first half was Stacey Kelly who put her body on the line and was first to the ball at every chance she had.

Half time and the score was nil all.

The second half started much like the first with the Tigers attacking hard. Raen Brademanne found herself with a chance on goal and was unlucky to score with the shot just soaring over the top bar.

Goulburn started to tire and get frustrated with the Tigers constant attack.

A bit of a push between Miruna Moruz and a Goulburn defender saw her awarded with a free kick at the top of the 18 yard box.

Miruna sent the ball flying towards the goal but unfortunately it deflected to the right.

With pressure building and the momentum gaining in favour of the Tigers, the Strikers keeper did well to defend their goal but after plenty of back and forth attack from both sides a pass from Libby Goggin in front of the goal saw Emily Perkin tap it in

the bottom corner just before the whistle giving the Tigers the win and a place in the grand final!

After a tough first match the ladies were ready to take on the UC pumas in the final for the Julia Murray Shield.

Although last week they defeated them 4-0 they knew they couldn’t be complacent.

It was a tough game with some poor first touches giving the Pumas a chance for some early points but a shot was well saved by keeper Sarah Merefield.

Alicia Rampal played well up front alongside Libby Goggin. But after 20 minutes the score was 0-0.

It was an eventful second half with two penalties given to UC at the back end of the Tigers half.

Great defence from Rachel Dorward, Stacey Kelly, Tina Baker and Kerry Baines kept the Pumas scoreless.

Tamara Lloyd was given a yellow card for “lip” and although it felt very one sided the Tigers continued to play their own game.

At the end of the game the scores were locked at nil all.

No extra time would be played and teams would go straight into a penalty shout out. After a nervous selection - Libby Goggin, Alicia Rampal, Miruna Moruz, Tina Baker and Emily Perkin all stepped up to the plate.

Our keeper Sarah Merefield saved the first two attempts from UC and Miruna was the first to put the ball in the net for the Tigers.

Another save by Merefield put the Tigers in a great position for a win.

Tina Baker placed the ball in the bottom left corner out of reach of the Pumas keeper with such style and ease to secure the Tigers win and ending the shootout.

It was a successful preseason campaign for the women’s team taking home the shield and starting their season on a high.

The winter season is set to commence on Sunday April 3, where they will be looking to continue their success.

Cooma MTB Club turns one From page 48 Mr Aldous said that when they approached Council to undertake volunteer work on the trails, they were told to form an official committee before commencing.

They did, and interest from the community has grown with many volunteers lending their hand to working bees to help upgrade and tidy the trails.

The Snowy Mountain MTB Club Facebook group has grown to 217 members and there has been 350 hours of volunteer work clocked for the year.

“I have noticed the traffic along our trails increase tenfold over the past year,” said Club Treasurer Tim Lawley, “You used to see one or two people on a weekend ride, now you see about 10 or 15 others on the trails. We’ve also been seeing more and more people coming from the ACT, not just locals.”

Mark Eccleston is the Secretary of the club and

Mr Aldous says he has been invaluable with his expertise about erosion and trail sustainability.

Mr Aldous also says that Vice President, Frank Cann has been a valued member of the team, with one of the trails being named after him; Frank’s Loop.

In terms of the future, Mr Aldous says there is always more to be done on improving the trails and formalising the network. He and Mr Lawley are hoping to bring mountain biking as an option for school sport at both Monaro High School and St Patrick’s, where they are both teachers.

To join the Snowy Mountains MTB Club, head to the Mountain Biking Australia (MTBA) website and nominate Snowy Mountains Mountain Bike Club when registering. Membership provides 24/7 personal accident insurance and many other benefits.

Cats compete in the Bay Cup Barrel race spectacular The CCFC Southern Cats travelled to Batemans Bay on the weekend to compete in the Aussie Rules Bay Cup. The Cats, with 21 players available, got off to a slow start in their first match against Ulladulla’s second grade side.

The Cats went in to half time down 2.3.15 to 3.4.22 and lost Brett O’Sullivan and Khai McPherson to injuries.

The Cats turned it around in the second half, controlling the game to win 6.5.41 to 5.6.36.

The second match of the day was played against the Belconnen Magpies who had a mix of players from first, second, third and fourth grade.

The Cats were down to just 18 players fit to take the field, with assistant coach Tim Gray doing his best to help the team out with a tear in his hamstring but still working the goal square.

Adam Asanovski also pulled the boots on to help

out after a heavy knock to the captain Taylor Lee in the first half.

The half time score was 3.2.20 to 4.2.26 in favour of the Belconnen Magpies.

In the second half, with no bench, reduced to 16 players on the field and the captain on the sidelines, the Cats did their best but could not hold out the tough Belconnen team to see the final score Southern Cats 4.3.27 to Belconnen 10.4.64.

Cats president Adam Asanovski was impressed with the boys efforts and praised their performance.

“The brave Southern Cats go down by six goals after being one goal down at half time. Decimated by injuries and reduced to 17 men at one stage the Cats fought bravely until the siren to just miss out on the final with one win one loss.

“Well done to the boys today they did the club proud,” he said.

Clarke wins Nimitybelle Cup

Cooma ladies golf A small field took on the fairways and heat on Wednesday, March 9, to play in the 9 hole medley stableford.

The winner was Maureen Fletcher who played well to score 17 points.

She assured me that her putting was still not up to scratch but none the less her all-round game was consistent.

A ball was won by Aileen Smith with 14 points on a countback.

In the second round of the Elsie Egan Trophy Gaye Wilson was the winner with 75 net.

Helen Crawford won a ball with the Longest Drive. it certainly carried a long way down the fairway. Well struck! After two rounds of golf the winner of the Elsie Egan Trophy for 2016 is Helen Crawford with 147 net.

Congratulations to all who participated!

Julie Upton had a great game in last Wednesday’s nine-hole medley stableford to win with 19 points. Her

chipping and putting was a feature.

Gaye Wilson, 18 points, Helen Crawford, 17 points, and Dorothy Bilbow, 14 points, all won balls.

A change in the weather saw a smaller field take to the fairways on Saturday. What a difference a day makes; either too hot with the ball running or too cold with the ball coming to a standstill! Helen Crawford was the winner with 35 points. Her driving and fairway play were sound and her putting is improving. She also had a number of pars on some of the more tricky holes. Well done! Balls were won by Gaye Wilson, 34 points, Carolyn O’Byrne, 31 points, and Rulie Steinfort, 30 points.

Coming up: Wed, nine-hole medley stableford; Easter - nine-hole medley stableford; Mon, - 18 hole medley stableford See you on the course!

Local juniors make Stingrays train-on squad The region’s most prestigious showjumping competition, the Nimitybelle Cup, conducted over four local agricultural shows, was decided at Bombala Show last Saturday.

The 2016 winner was Brett Clarke, pictured above.

Show results on line Those avid showgoers who are interested in trawling through the results of our local shows are in luck - they’re all at your fingertips on The Monaro Post website!

While some results have been printed in the newspaper where possible, once we get into the thick of show season as we are now there are simply too many to include in the pages.

After all, The Post presents features on each of the shows in our region, as well as covering them all, and that adds up to a lot of material!

That’s why we are happy to have the results on hand at www.monaropost.com.au for all of those who would like to know who had the Champion Rose in Dalgety or the Supreme Hack in Cooma. We can even tell you who had the best plum jam in Delegate!

Of course we realise that not everyone is online, and in the case of both the Delegate and Bombala Shows, readers can come and see Sam at The Monaro Post office to have a look through the results. Champion!

Light shifting winds on Lake Jindabyne Story by Tim Symons, Photos by John Byrne.

The 16 boat fleet waited around for 20 or 30 minutes for the breeze to finally arrive on the evening of Wednesday 16th March to start heat sixteen of Lake Jindabyne Sailing Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2015/16 twilight series. Alistair Cross manned the rescue boat while John Byrne, on the start boat, sent the cats off first into a very light Westerly breeze on a Starboard rounding course. Barry Dennis made a great start and led the fleet of six cats to the Bay mark.

The cats then sailed a long, slow reach to the mountain mark. Alex and Aiden Machin soon slipped to the lead on their Hobie 20. Barney and Thomas Davis came next followed by Tim Symons, Barry, Ian Foster and Randy Wieman. The cats continued around the course which was shortened to one triangle lap.

Alex finished first followed by Barney.

Ian Foster, who took advantage of a large shift in the breeze to pass Barry and catch and pass Tim by the finish line. Alex took the handicap corrected times win by 5 seconds

from Tim, Barney, Ian and Barry.

Randy didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complete the course.

The ten boat mono-hull fleet started 5 minutes after the cats into the same light Westerly breeze. The fleet completed a tactical race in the testing conditions around the shortened single triangle lap course.

Nick Kennedy led the mono-hull fleet to the finish line followed by Phil Daley, John Baird, Jason Abbott, Ross Tattersall, Steve Osborne, Martin Van Weel, Gote Vikstrom, Kerry McGaw and Ross Lawley. The handicap corrected times mixed up the results with Ross T taking the win from Nick, Phil, Jason, John, Martin VW, Steve, Kerry, Ross L and Gote.

Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club ran two Club Championship races on the afternoon of Saturday 19th March. John Byrne started the first race from the Peninsular mark and sent the eight boat mixed fleet off on an interesting course around Lion and Cub Islands plus an extra windward / leeward leg at the end.

The medium strength, but shifting breeze made for a tricky start. Tim Symons had to borrow a lifejacket from the rescue boat causing him

to and start late. Tim and his Hobie 17 then had to chase the fleet down.

He caught up to or passed all of the smaller mono-hulls by Church Rocks and set out after Barney and Thomas Davis on their Hobie 16 who had led the fleet from the start. Nick Kennedy on his Finn and John Baird on his Laser full rig battled closely at the front of the mono-hulls. They were followed by, Martin Van Weel, Steve Osborne, Kerry McGaw and Ross Tattersall on their Laser radials.

After many exhilarating fast rides and occasional lulls, Barney led the fleet across the finish line at the Peninsular mark followed by Tim, Nick, John, Martin VW, Kerry, Steve, and Ross. Nick took the Yardstick corrected time win from John, Martin, Kerry, Steve, Ross, Barney and Tim. The second race started at the same mark and the windward / leeward legs were extended. Ross returned to the beach and Martin Bannister on his Hobie 17 joined the fleet. Barney and Thomas again led from the start with Tim close at their heals, A mix up with the flags saw Martin B cross the line last &

had to catch the rest of the fleet. He soon passed all the mono-hulls and set out after Barney & Tim. Barney and Tim battled at the front with the lead changing hands a few times. A large shift in the breeze caused Tim to stall while on a starboard tack and Barney to re-pass him and Martin B to catch up as they were on port tacks. Nick and John again had a close battler at the front of the monohull fleet and the Laser radial sailors

swapped paces from time to time too..

John Byrne finished the race at the Club mark this time while struggling to keep the start boat on station as it kept dragging its anchor. Barney finished first followed by Tim, Martin B, Nick, John, Steve, Kerry and Martin VW. Nick again took the yardstick corrected win followed

by John, Steve, Kerry, Martin VW, Barney, Tim and Martin B.

Convincing wins in major singles matches - more to come High winning margins were the order of the day for social bowls last Wednesday.

Russell Fox, Mike Mannile and Leonie Snell set the pattern in their match with Bas Bolt, Ken Rees and Kevin Jackson.

Leonieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team won nine of the first 12 ends and went on to win 24/17.

Max Povey and Ron Gammon were also in early trouble against Peter Harris and Max Reeve, who won 14 of the 22 ends played and scored 25 shots to 12. Whoever kept the card for the Max Butler, Mick Mayhew, Renate Winckel v Allan Crowe, Mario Frezza, Bob Lahy game had plenty of practice writing 2 as Allan, Mario and Bob were on that score for 10 ends and were defeated 27/10.

Two matches in Major Singles were also played on Wednesday with convincing wins in each case. Daniel Clough played consistent bowls against Tony Gray in gaining an early 20/5 lead on 15. Tony held shot on several occasions but Daniel was able to counter and gained a place in the semi final 31/15.

Ross Russell was right on target from the start against John Vincent when he won nine of the first 12 ends (including two, four shot ends)

to lead 18/3. It was not that John played badly, Ross seemed to have an answer to all of Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play and also gained a spot in the semi final, 31/10, where he will play Daniel Clough.

On Thursday afternoon in front of a good group of onlookers John Schoon and Wayne Lodge played their delayed match. John established an early 9/4 lead on eight then Wayne levelled 10/10 on 12 and went on to lead 17/13 on 21. Again John went to the front 27/19 on 29.

Ten shots to Wayne and two to John had the score 29/29 on 33 with John getting the necessary shots to win 31/29.

On Saturday John backed up against Mark Buckley for a place in the semi final. This was a close battle for 13 ends with the scores locked up 12/12. At that point Mark started to move ahead and went to the front 28/17 on end 26. He had to play a further six ends before getting the winning shots to go in to the semi final 31/22.

Social Bowls on Saturday attracted only 10 players. Ev Hamilton, Bob Lahy and Olga Jebbink dominated the first eight ends against Mary Phillips, Mario

Peter Marsicano and Ignazio Mondello had an all the way battle with Denis Steinfort and Paul Cannell with the lead changing several times and finally on the last end for Peter and Ignazio to win 20/19. Ken Rees and Geoff Venables ran in to a red hot combination of Ron Wainwright and Mike Mannile and won only seven one shot ends giving Ron and Mike a big 20/7 win.

Final matches in Pennants and the deferred matches in Monaro Shield were played on Sunday with the following results.

You may not expect to see a marathon runner making their way around the Mila area near Bombala, but Elle Dubbelaar has been training in that rural location for the past couple of months.

More importantly, that training has earned Elle a very impressive result in the recent Ultimate Marathon in Canberra!

With around 250 competitors taking part in the gruelling CBR100 Challenge 50km event, Elle achieved second place in the Individual Female category, placing a gratifying 10th overall.

Her event was all run off-road, with Elle and her fellow competitors battling temperatures of 35 degrees and 10km winds as they ran from Hall to Reid via the Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve.

Elle managed a great time of 5.56 hours, all the more impressive when you consider the female winner ran in only slightly earlier at 5.41 hours.

Elle was humble when approached by The Monaro Post about her success in the event, and praised the Ultimate Marathon itself.

“Overall it was a great event, the course was well marked, the checkpoints were well manned and the course had a very challenging finish,” she said, explaining that the last 10km passed over Mount Majura and Mount Ainslie.

Elle recently moved to Bombala to work at Growth Farms and was spotted by a number of locals as she trained for the ACT event in the Mila area.

Elle placed an impressive 10th overall in a field of around 250.

Elle Dubbelaar of Bombala earned silver in the Female Individual of the CBR 100 Challenge 50km Ultimate Marathon in Canberra this month.

Bushpigs and Miss Piggies host pre-season hit-outs Saturday saw the first home hit out for the Miss Piggies and the Bushpigs.

The girls played a 10-a-side game against the Gungahlin Eagles in what was an even match with the lead changing several times.

All girls played some great rugby with Sarah Rossenger starring with a three try haul. The Eagles eventually won by two tries.

The Bushpigs and the Cooma Red Devils went for a pre-season run and put on a great show of what is to come for both sides.

Jindabyne fielded only five of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premiership side and a new look young side that held their ground in a physical encounter.

The Bushpigs were down by 26 points early, until the forwards picked up their intensity, allowing scrum half Robbie Morris to claim a three try day, but eventually the Cooma boys held on to a 45-24 victory.

A big thanks go to all players and volunteers that assisted in a great day of rugby. Both sides will be a force in the season ahead.

Miss Piggies defeat Cootamundra The Jindabyne Miss Piggies took home a win at last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cootamundra Tens Competition.

The first game was against Cootamundra where the girls

came out on top with a huge 48-0 win. They then played a game against CSU Wagga, beating them 25-0 and went on to defeat Tumut 35-0 straight after. The girls were

then up against Wagga again in the grand final and defeated them with a score of 25-5.

Congratulations too all players and coach Mick Swinney.

Cooma golf club news Coolamatong golf results The Highlight of the week on the golf course was an absolutely fantastic round by Adam Robinson in Sundays Stableford competition.

Playing off plus three Adam shot a 10 under 62 on his way to 43 Stableford points, surely one of the lowest, if not the lowest, rounds ever shot at Cooma Golf Course.

Understandably Adam won the days competition from Bob Ashcroft who also excelled with 41 points.

Balls were won by Frank McKnight (two birdies in his first four holes helping), Steve Young, Graeme Russell, Sam Patricks, Col Langdon and Wayne Flynn. Col must have been very good around the greens on the day as he seemed to play many second shots off a fairway adjacent from his own.

Nearest the pin on 11 was won by Steve Young while Bob Ashcroft was nearest the pin for 2 on 18.

The funny story of the day belongs to Garry Batten who eventually found his drive on the fifth perched about 5m up a gum tree. He then proceeded to borrow a club from a playing partner and in his attempt to retrieve the ball managed to leave the club stuck up the tree too, about a metre below of the ball. Third time proved lucky for both club and ball although no one else volunteered the use of their club !!!

Last Wednesday’s Stableford saw A Grade going to Denis Minehan with

36 points, B Grade to Mick Boyce with 36 points, whilst Dieter Seubert, taking advantage of the drier, much easy conditions, later in the day won C grade with 40 points.

Balls were won by Phil Amey, Marilynne Weston, Mal Crockett, Kerry Blencowe, Frank McKnight, Garry Batten and Ray Bilbow.

Nearest the pin on nine was won

by Garry Batten while Phil Amey was closest on 17.

Saturday’s Stableford saw Mal Crockett win A Grade with 38 points with Brian Searl runner up on 37 points. B Grade was won by John Onur with 39 points from Steve Wheately on 35 and C Grade was won by Dieter Seubert with 38 points (may have to talk to the handicapper about Dieter) from Lawrence Cowie on 36.

Balls were won by Cliff Richards, Kim Howard, Steve Young, Tom Geach, Doug Parker and Tony Crawford from Green Acres Golf Club.

Long Drives went to Mark Van Ommen (A Grade), Tim Bedingfeld (B Grade), for the second week in a row and Richard Hill (C Grade). Nearest the pins went to John Garget on the ninth and Cliff Richards on 17.

Next week’s competitions will be Stablefords on Wednesday, and Friday and Monday while the Easter Cup will be played on Saturday and Sunday.

With cooler conditions, under mostly cloudy skies, and with the course playing longer after recent rain, no one in the field of 26 managed to break their handicap on the day. We also were pleased to welcome four guests. The results were: Men’s Competition: Stableford The winner was our esteemed course superintendent Ross Thompson with 34 points, on a count back from Steve Young, returning from his recent European trip, and third was James Alexander with 33 points.

Ladies’ Competition: Stableford Showing consistent form, the winner was Vickii Roarty with 31 points, from Nadine Archibald with 27 points on a count back from Effie Doran, also with 27 points.

Nearest the pins ladies and men: 3rd: Jan O’Halloran; Steve Young 8th: Carolyn Major; Mal Browne 17th: Brett McCulloch (guest) Special happenings on the day: *Steve Young’s shot on the third was excellent and won the Eagle’s Nest. That was

the good news. Unfortunately for Steve, Tony Kiek had won the Eagle’s Nest and $300 on the Sunday prior; and Steve managed only $9 for a great shot. *We also welcomed a potential young new Member, Brett McCulloch, who was again playing for his handicap. Brett had been off scratch at Huntingdale, and shot a great 76 on Wednesday on his first outing.

Max Boole bolts it in at ACT State titles meet U/9 Max Boole set the track ablaze on his way in claiming three gold medals at ACT Little A’s State Championships on the weekend.

Max claimed the 100m title in 15.41 sec on the Saturday morning, following it up with the 200m in the afternoon with a PB time of 31.90 sec.

Sunday saw Max motoring down the straight in the 70m dash with all the blood hounds on his tail as he stopped the clock on 11.12 seconds.

Max also picked up second place in the U/9 long jump, leaping 3.74m (PB) and a sixth placing in the high jump with 1.05m (PB).

Jordan Davis is pushing for a place in the ACTLA Australian Little Championship Team for next month in Adelaide and his performances on the weekend in the discus and shot put should help him in his quest.

Jordan’s performances were his second best this season, with a 8.74m in the shot put and 27.26m with the discus.

Burnum Brademann was in racing mode on the weekend picking up silver in the U/16 1500m with a PB time 11 seconds and cracking into the four minute barrier clocking 4:57.52 sec, a great run. He claimed bronze in the 800m in 2:26.50 sec just shy of his PB by 0.19 seconds.

Reuben Hooper (U/12) had a busy weekend competing in six events over the two-day with four PBs and medalling in long jump with a Silver plus a PB in 4.82m.

Later, Reuben’s high jump effort with 1.41m gained him Bronze.

Reuben picked up four fourths as well over the weekend, in 100m in 13.75sec (PB),

again in the 200m with a PB of 28.68sec, while doing the 60m hurdles the third PB came with 10.93 sec and fourth in the discus, throwing 22.40m.

Maria Tarasyuk (U/14) 28.56 sec in the 200m sprint, her second fastest time this year, just couldn’t run down the winner, finishing with a silver medal.

Maria won bronze in the long jump with 4.47m. Maria also was in the finals of the discus and javelin where she finished ninth with 17.74m and 10th at the discus with a heave of 17.18m.

Stephen (Smiley) Davis (U/10) gives us heart failure each times he throws in the discus, this meet he was spot on and with a second place with excellent throw of 21.42m. He couldn’t catch the top three placegetters in his final three throws at the shot put and left him in fourth place with 6.36m.

Taylah Maurier (U/13) blasted into the 9m range for the first time with a 9.11m putt in shot put and a bronze medal for her effort. She managed fourth in the discus with her a season second best throw of 27.24m.

William Reid (U/16) at his first ACTLA’s titles was extremely close to his 100m PB in 13.12 sec, to claim the bronze medal. William ran the 200m with a PB time of 27.36 sec to come home in fourth position.

Olo Brademann (U/11) couldn’t sustain his pace over the final 20+m after running into third position on the final bend. He was run down by the lad he passed and crossed the line in fourth place in 5:01.62 sec, a 22 second PB. Olo was four second off his season best in the 800m when he showed tenacity over this distance with a time of 2:36.23 sec and sixth across the line Ruby Mould (U/13) competed in six Ffnals at the championships with her best effort the 400m with a PB of 1:05.62 sec running into fourth place; fifth in the high jump clearing 1.37m, sixth in the 200m clocking 33.89 sec, then two seventh placings, in the 800m with 2:38.10 sec and in the long jump, leaping 4.29m.

Aussie takes 2016 Coffeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MDCA honours

The 2016 MDCA premiers The Aussie had an outstanding run after Christmas, combining well as a team to earn a well deserved title.

The Aussie Hotel took on Dalgety in the grand final of the Coffeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MDCA competition. The Aussie have been particularly strong in the latter half of the season and promised to be stiff opposition for the in form Dalgety side.

The Aussie batted first and lost the valuable wicket of Mitch Hynes early on, but a 48 run partnership between Stu Wood (22) and Chris Khoury (28) put them back on track.

Wood was eventually undone off the bowling of Hogan, bringing Harry Sidhu to the crease who batted well for his 39.

Kaeliff Khoury found form at the right time of the year with another captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knock adding valuable 26 run haul to the Aussie total.

The Dalgety side was highly competitive all year but could not do enough to beat The Aussie on the weekend.

Scotty Wilshire has been in good touch with the ball and was Dalgetyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most valuable bowler picking up four wickets off his eight overs.

The Aussie finished on 142 for the loss of nine wickets after 45 overs, an achievable total for the strong Dalgety batting attack.

The Dalgety innings did not start well with Sidhu claiming the early wicket of Gary Thompson without troubling the scorers.

A top order collapse followed with The Aussie looking well in charge with the score at 4/24.

Eddy Hogan (43) and Simon Freebody (26) steadied

Dalgetyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innings and brought them back in to the game until Hogan was out caught off the bowling of Sidhu.

Freebody followed him back to the pavilion shortly afterwards, getting out stumped to Damien Asanovski.

Chris Khoury (4/19), T Wall (3/22) and Sidhu were the pick of the Aussie bowlers and regular wickets and a slow over rate led to Dalgety all out for 122.

The MDCA presentation night will be held at Coffeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hotel this Thursday. Junior presentations start at 4.30 with snacks and drinks and seniors will start at 6.30 with a barbeque dinner.
