Medical centre saved

By KAREN FORMAN THE eleventh hour arrival of a new doctor has saved Jindabyne’s original medical centre from closure - at least for the rest of the year.

Snowy Mountains Medical Centre (SMMC) co-owners, Dr Steve Breathour and Dr Michael Williamson, will keep the practice at Nuggets Crossing open, despite announcing in November that it would have to close on May 1 due to lack of doctors and increasing costs.

The news shocked the Jindabyne community, which came out in force with social media posts and letters to members of parliament and medical associations begging for help to save the surgery.

The Monaro Media Group, publisher of The Monaro Post, ran a series of seven articles detailing the expected disastrous effects on the community of the loss of the medical centre, which had served several generations of locals and visitors.

Dr Breathour told The Monaro Media Group he had managed to secure the services of a new female doctor, who seemed committed to the local area, and had decided he could hold off on his own retirement for a while longer.

“Hopefully that will buy us time to find the second doctor that would mean we could really keep afloat,” he said.

Dr Breathour said he had been humbled at the support shown to him and his team during the past few months.

Dr Breathour was awarded Jindabyne Citizen of the Year for his services to the community on Australia Day this year.

Cancer fundraiser to light up region FEW organisations can stage a fundraiser quite like the Monaro Committee for Cancer Research (mcCr).

The group has unveiled its latest fundraising initiative, and true to form, it’s going to be entertaining and quite the show.

Around 40 locals will lace up their dancing shoes with four groups to perform across three exciting nights in May. Groups from Cooma, Bombala and Jindabyne will help the mcCr in its latest fundraising efforts.

Hot City Disco is the theme with the inspiration coming from the days of Cooma’s booming nightclub and dance scene in the 1970s.

Annual fundraising event supports children’s Burns Unit

By TRISTA HEATH THE Jindabyne community has shown its generosity, once more support the Beat The Burn annual fundraiser.

At the Lake Jindabyne Hotel last week, firefighters involved in the event and locals came together to support an important cause.

The Fire and Rescue NSW

band played for the large crowd who helped raise more than $3,000 on the night.

NSW firefighter, Peter Yates was awarded the 2024 David Weir Memorial Trophy for the highest fundraiser for the Jindabyne event.

Mr Yates managed to raise an incredible $9,455 for FRNSW 002 Station effort in assisting The Burns Unit at The Children’s

“In 1986 a passionate group of firefighters believed they could do more for the kids that they saw with burn injuries during the incidents that they attended.

“Since then FRNSW Firefighters have raised over $3,000,000 for the tiny unit in Westmead that services the entire state of NSW,” Mr Austin said.

Hospital, Westmead.

Over a period of five days, nearly 70 FRNSW and ACT firefighters participated in road cycling, mountain biking, running, hiking and paddling through the Koszciusko National Park.

One of the Beat the Burn organisers, Daniel Austin, thanked Jindabyne residents for supporting the initiative.

Bombala Show honours stalwarts DI receives life membership, Sally-Ann remembered

By KAREN FORMAN DI INGRAM has served the Bombala Exhibition Society and in fact, the entire Bombala community, for most of her 82 years.

But her expression of total surprise when awarded a coveted life membership during the official opening of the 2024 Bombala Show was enough to bring tears to the eyes of everyone watching.

Despite her many years of service, Mrs Ingram had no idea her name would be put forward for any sort of reward and was genuinely surprised when called to the stage.

Her delighted family members were not surprised as granddaughter Corwyn Ross, sister Ros Hood, sister in law Ken Ross, daughter Annalisa Ross, and sons Philip and Peter Ingram watched on with pride.

Member for Monaro, Steve Whan, and Bombala Exhibition Society president Sophie Campbell awarded and congratulated Mrs Ingram for her honour.

“We kept it a secret from her but it was really hard,” daughter Annalisa said.

“She honestly doesn’t have receiving any sort of reward on her radar, she just gets in and does it.”

Mrs Ingram was born in Coonabarrabran but moved to Bombala in 1953 when her family returned to the area.

Her father was show secretary when she was a child and she remembers helping out. She’s also been involved in ‘pretty much everything that happens in Bombala’, from golf to garden club to tennis and swimming.

She joins only a handful of other honorary life members in Doug Peadon, Norm and Wendy Wilton, Clare Trevanion, Becky Kelland, Bronwyn Podger and Graham Hillyer.

Mrs Ingram wasn’t the only woman honored during the official opening on Saturday.

Mrs Campbell dedicated the show – believed to be the 149th ‘in one shape or form’ – to the late Sally-Ann Thompson, who died the

“Sally-Ann played a major role in the show over the years,” Mrs Campbell said.

“She stewarded the photography section for many years and put a lot of work in, especially with the digital section, library and the community. This show is dedicated to her memory.”

Mr Whan in opening the show paid tribute to the many volunteers who made it possible.

“It is a great honor for me to open the show,” he said.

“Bombala is terrific and I am enjoying the work I have been able to do with the Bombala community in the past couple of years.

“The show is an integral part of the community and a great opportunity for people to renew acquaintances, catch-up and see the fantastic produce the area puts out.”

Mrs Campbell, meanwhile put out an early call for more volunteers for the society, especially with big plans for a 150th celebration in 2025.

“The show has been running in some form since the early 1870s,” she said.

“Millions of man and woman hours have gone into it. The exhibition society was established in 1875 and although records are a bit rubbery, we believe 150

years is a big reason to celebrate and we will do that next year.”

The show day itself was a hive of activity with thousands of locals and visitors passing through the gates to enjoy market and food stalls, showjumping, wood chopping, amusement park rides, an innovative fishing display involving a huge fish tank on a semi trailer and plenty more sights and exhibits.

The Bombala Public School Year Six milkshake stall was a popular local attraction, along with a display by the Bombala Historic Engine and Machinery Society.

Poultry judge Darren Thelan from Dalmeny said his job was tough as it was moulting season, but the exhibits still in good feather were ‘very good’.

Competition was very stiff in the cattle arena, where Brad Ingram from Rose Cottage Hereford Stud in Victoria took out the Supreme Exhibit of Show with Rose Cottage Maritana, a 17 month old heifer contesting her second show (after Dalgety where she ‘won everything’).

She beat the senior female champion, and the champion bull (also the champion junior bull) 17 month-old Kylo Topaz for the honour, with the judge commenting on her ‘softness and matron appeal, great bone structure which doesn’t detract from her femininity, epitomising the industry’.

Meanwhile Kylo Topaz of Kylo Hereford Stud, Bungarby, is off to the Wodonga national show and sale to be sold.

“This show was his first outing,” Greg Alock of Kylo Herefors said.

“I had no idea he might win. All judges are different and the three bulls were all pretty similar. He has got good length and eye pigment and muscle. We are really happy with this result.”

Medical centre saved from closure New doctor comes onboard; Dr Steve delays retirement

By KAREN FORMAN THE Snowy Mountains Medical Centre (SMMC) has been saved from what would have been certain closure, with a new general practitioner found at the 11th hour to provide essential medical services, help cover rising running costs and give existing doctors a break.

The good news comes four months after co-owners Dr Steve Breathour and Dr Michael Williamson told The Monaro Post the centre would be forced to close on May 1 due to a shortage of doctors and increasing costs of running a medical centre, causing panic in a community which had relied on the centre for several generations of family medical care.

Patients, the manager of a local child care centre and doctors all went on record with their concerns that the closure of the practice - which Dr Breathour set up many years ago - would have devastating effects, while the Jindabyne community came out in force with social media posts and letters to Members of Par-

liament and medical associations begging for help to save the surgery.

The Monaro Post ran a series of seven articles detailing the expected disastrous effects on the community of the loss of the medical centre, which had served several generations of locals and visitors. In response, Member for Eden-Monaro, Kristy McBain, said she had been in touch with the centre and would do what she could to help.

Dr Williamson said in December the closure of the centre would result in job losses and greater health risks for hundreds of local people and visitors and put extra pressure on the already bursting public health system.

“This will have devastating effects for both the town and our patients. People who are sick will get sicker as they won’t want to travel to Cooma ED and will put stuff off. And chronic patients will have nowhere to go unless other medical centres can fit them in and even if they can, there will be long waiting times.”

Dr Brenton Systermans, who works at SMMC, said he remained committed to his patients and would do all he could to serve them if the centre closed. One patient told The Monaro Post he feared he would die because he needed a GP to manage his chronic health conditions.

A variety of reasons for the difficulties regional areas around Australia have had in employing GPs was cited, including a lack of interest in the specialisation, qualified GPs not wanting to relocate, difficulty for GPs in training to obtain Medicare provider numbers, not enough incentives, housing shortages and the high cost of living in a tourist town.

Dr Breathour and Dr Williamson said in December that they had placed countless advertisements over a two year period trying to boost their staff, without success.

However, Dr Breathour has now announced he had managed to secure the services of a new female doctor, who seemed committed to the local area, and had

“I will put off retirement for a year, although I will pull back a bit, to two or three days a week, and with the new doctor, hopefully we can keep going and make sure none of our existing staff are working too hard and burning out, until we find a second doctor, which would get us across the line.”

Dr Breathour said the new doctor had answered an advertisement online, and had plenty of experience doing locums and had lived and had worked overseas and would be a welcome addition to the team.

“I couldn’t bring myself to walk away,” he said. “ I will

ease into retirement , which will give us time to find someone else.

Jindabyne has a second medical centre Jindabyne Medical Practice located in the Jindabyne HealthOne buildiing on

Thredbo Terrace, but like everywhere, appointments can be difficult to get and SMMC’s patients would have struggled to find new GPs with space on their books.

Dr Williamson said he was pleased that a new doctor had come on board and was hopeful the SMMC would be viable well beyond the end of this year.

“I have been very busy at Thredbo, with mountain biking now keeping us busy in summer as well as winter,” he said.

“Not so long ago I was there for the winter only, but that has changed now and I cannot work in Jindabyne much and help out.”

Local efforts push firies’ fundraiser Beat The Burn raise thousands for hospital MORE than 70 Fire and Rescue NSW officers and ACT firefighters converged on Jindabyne to raise money and awareness for their heroes, the children at FRNSW 002 Station The Burns Unit at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead.

This core group was also supported by other FRNSW Firefighters around the state as they rode, ran and paddled from their own fire stations across NSW. These Firefighters are endeavouring to raise $200,000 for the Burns Unit by May. Jindabyne again supported the initiative with the group setting-up base at The NRMA Holiday Park at Jindabyne on Monday March 11 for the week. A number of events took place each day to raise awareness of the Beat The Burn cause.

A group of 10 runners spent three days exploring the trails in Koszciuszko National Park. They conquered the Thredbo Valley Trail, Main Range Trail and a King of the Mountain

from Jindabyne to Perisher Fire Station.

Over the week they managed to clock-up more than 60km for the children of the Burns Unit.

The group’s mountain bike riders hit the Thredbo Gravity Trails for the first two days of the week for some downhill fun.

Followed by some trail rides over at East Jindabyne and then the Thredbo Valley Trail.

“It was a week of bumps and bruises but they finished the week with a smile knowing it was for the kids,” one of Beat The Burn organisers Daniel Austin said.

“Our road riders clocked up nearly 400kms for the week as they took on some gruelling but scenic rides around the beautiful Snowy Mountains region.

“These rides included Ingebyra, Dead Horse Gap, The Dalgety Loop and chased our runners up the hill to Perisher Fire Station for The King of The Mountain.

GOOD CAUSE: The Fire Rescue NSW Band were a hit with the local community at last weeks Beat The Burn fundraising event.

“Our Hikers also trekked over 50kms for the kids over three days.”

They made their way along the beautiful Thredbo River on the first day, followed by a 23km hike along the Main Range and finished off with a beautiful walk through Porcupine Rocks from Charlottes Pass back to Perisher.

The 2024 Beat The Burn hit its pinnacle on Thursday with the inaugural King Of The Mountain Race from Jindabyne to Perisher Fire Station.

A 32km uphill slog that puts even the best athletes to the test.

“Our runners departed at 7am to give them a head start and our road riders were released at 9am to hunt them down.

“This year Col Ferguson the captain from Tamworth Fire Station came out on top in what was a close finish.

“Our favourite fundraiser junior firefighter Liam was also in attendance supporting his favourite firefighters.”

The group celebrated on Thursday night with a fundraising event at Lake Jindabyne Hotel where they held raffles, auctions and sold merchandise to raise funds for FRNSW 002 Station.

The FRNSW band was a hit with locals and together, locals and the Beat The Burn crew managed to raise $3425.10 to improve the outcomes for kids with life changing burn injuries.

“We’d like to thank the Lake Jindabyne Hotel for

The week ended on the lake with a 1.6km swim around Cubbe Island and a 5km paddle to bring it home for the kids. their hospitality and the Jindabyne locals for their generosity,” Mr Austin said.

“The week ended on the lake on Friday March 15 with a 1.6km swim around Cub Island and a five kilometre paddle to bring it home for the kids.

“The event was a success, our participants were in awe of the scenery and the hospitality of the locals.”

Beat The Burn has currently raised $140,000 for the Burns Unit.

Council apologises to Cooma businesses COOMA business operators have received an apology from Snowy Monaro Regional Council for its failure to notify businesses in the CBD of recent road works.

The Monaro Media Group spoke with dozens of business owners who said they were not directly informed of the road works that closed roads in the CBD during the last month.

In an update on urban roadworks occuring across the region, a Council spokesperson said its engagement with the Cooma businesses had ‘not met expectations’.

“With a large program of work currently underway in Cooma, we acknowledge the concerns of some in the business community about the impacts to parking and temporary road closures required for the works to be done safely and within budget,” the spokesperson said.

“Regrettably, our engagement with the Cooma business community has not met expectations and for this we apologise. Council regrets the inconvenience this essential work has had and challenges with advice on specifics of the projects.”

A number of business owners said the road work interruptions had resulted in losses of up 50 percent while the works were carried out.

Jeremy Marr, owner of Kettle and Seed coffee shop in Vale Street, Cooma, said the works came as surprise.

“None of the business owners and workers in Vale Street I spoke with were informed.

The execution of the works has been frustrating,” he said.

“I’m not sure why they can’t do all the work at once, it’s been disruptive and affected the number of customers.”

The urban road work program continues in Cooma through March and into April with a dozen streets in the CBD and in town receiving upgrades.

Urban works have started in Adaminaby and Berridale, while work will start in Jindabyne on Tuesday April.

Council said no road works will occur in the CBD areas of the region’s towns over the expected busy Easter long weekend.

“Council can confirm that there will be no roadworks or closures in any CBD precinct in the region across the Easter break to ensure no impact on the tourist period for our region,” the spokesperson said.

“Council is undertaking a major upgrade of roads across the region. This investment totals more than a million dollars and is the largest road investment program in many years.”

Nationwide search for leadership team Ambitious reform agenda long overdue: Council CEO

SNOWY Monaro Regional Council’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) David Hogan will start a nationwide search over the coming months to recruit a permanent executive leadership team, marking a new era of leadership for Council.

Mr Hogan said following resignations over the course of 2023, all but one of Council’s executive positions need to be permanently filled.

“The staff who stepped up to take on acting executive roles have done an exceptional job in very difficult circumstances,” Mr Hogan said.

“But it is now time to make permanent appointments, so that we have people in place for the long term who can fully commit to driving positive change in our organisation.”

Macarthur Recruitment has been engaged to in-

dependently manage this process, which will involve a nationwide search and advertising campaign from April to May 2024.

“Over these first few months as CEO, it has become clear that – in addition to the need to make permanent appointments – we need to look at some aspects of our leadership structure to ensure that it’s fit for the future of this Council,” Mr Hogan said.

“The ambitious reform agenda that I have laid out for the transformation of this Council is long overdue, and change of this scale will require stability and commitment across our leadership group to be successful.”

Commencing his role at the end of 2023, Mr Hogan said he has set a plan to address long-standing problems with the organisation and regain the trust of the Snowy Monaro community.

COUNCIL: Snowy Monaro Regional Council CEO David Hogan will launch a nationwide search to secure a permanent Council leadership team. PHOTO: Supplied Mr Hogan is seeking candidates who can deliver his vision of financial and organisational reform, positive cultural change, and who will champion the work health and safety of all Council staff.

“These are critical roles for both our organisation and our region’s success, so we want to attract the very best candidates. I need people who are not

just experts in their fields, but who are genuinely passionate about the Snowy Monaro,” he said.

Mr Hogan’s said Council aims to complete its recruitment and have the appointments in place by July 2024, ready to get to work on the next phase of the transformation plan following local government elections in September.

Variety NSW/ACT CEO, Tony Warner, said the participants have each raised a minimum of $2,500, with the event hoping to gener-

ate more than $90,000 by the time the bikes complete the dirt tracks and scenic trails.

“Variety NSW/ACT supports children who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with a disability,” Mr Warner said.

“Our motoring events play a vital role in raising funds to help kids in need, particularly those in remote and regional communities where families and schools often face challenges in accessing the support and resources required for each child to reach their full potential.”

Variety will deliver $12,724 in grants to a primary school and a community organisation on the Adventure Ride route: Delegate Public

Special milestone for Berridale Lions

Inquiry to examine local government funding

Easter Fair to celebrate 50th anniversary

MILESTONE: The Berridale Lions Club is looking forward to celebrating its 50th Easter Fair this year. In 2023, the club recorded one of the largest crowds in the fair’s history.

PHOTO: Nathan Thompson Mr Schofield said there will be a silent wood auction, for three trailer loads of wood as well as assorted raffles.

“We will also be officially celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Berridale Lions

Club which also coincides with the 50th Lion’s Easter Fair,” Mr Schofield said.

“The anniversary is meaningful to many within the community, Lions means supporting the local and wider

communities, there’s good fellowship and camaraderie at the Lions Club and I’ve made a lot of good friends over the years with the common goal of strengthening the community.”

AN

AN UPPER House inquiry has been established to examine the ability of local governments to fund infrastructure and services.

“Councils are experiencing significant financial challenges which are threatening the long-term sustainability of the sector,” Emily Suvaal MLC, Chair of the Standing Committee on State Development, said.

“As the level of government closest to the people of this state, we owe it to councils to ensure they can continue to deliver the important services communities expect and deserve.

“This inquiry will examine the level of income councils require to adequately meet the needs of their communities, and give consideration to the current levels of service delivery and financial sustainability in local government.”

The committee will also assess the social and economic impacts of the rate peg in NSW and compare the rate peg, as it currently exists, with other jurisdictions and alternative approaches with regards to the outcomes for ratepayers, councils and council staff.

“In addition, the committee will also review the operation of the special rate variation process and its effectiveness in providing the level of income councils require to adequately meet the needs of their communities.”

The committee welcomes submissions from interested individuals and stakeholders, including local governments and members of the community.

The closing date for submissions is Friday April 26, 2024, with committee activity to follow later in the year.

Aged care report findings Delegate celebrates rural women ‘fair’: Respect CEO

By KAREN FORMAN

By LUKE TREADWELL THE Aged Care Taskforce headed by Aged Care Minister Anika Wells has handed down its final report, delivering 23 recommended changes to help fix issues within the sector.

Managing Director and CEO for local provider Respect, Jason Binder, said overall, the 23 recommendations are fair and reasonable for everyone.

“Aged care funding comes from the taxpayer and consumers who can afford it, so it’s important that what’s put in, is generating value for older people,” Mr Binder said.

“It’s not about bottom lines and making more money.

“Having said that, we can’t have the situation we’ve had where there’s not enough to invest, progress, and do better things for older Australians.”

Mr Binder said this has been the case for a few years because the cost of services and accommodation has been underfunded, and Respect has been cross subsidising that with care funding.

“What the Taskforce is recommending is that care is funded by the taxpayer, but every day living and

accommodation costs are funded by older Australians receiving care when they can afford it, otherwise the Government subsidise it,” Mr Binder said.

“That’s a fair system, because if older people were at home they would have to pay for their everyday living and accommodation costs, and it just equalises that in residential aged care.”

Southern Cross Care QLD (SCCQ) CEO Jason Eldering said aged care provisions in regional Australia have been left behind when it comes to funding.

“It is imperative that we continue to tackle the challenges faced across the entire aged care sector, with regional providers facing different costs to those in metropolitan areas,” Mr Eldering said.

Mr Binder said they have significantly more challenges that require extra resources as a regional provider.

“Not just the extra cost of supplies, but the difficulty in obtaining management, staff, health services, and contractors,” Mr Binder said.

“Plus the oversight and governance of regional homes requires a lot more administrative resources.

“This isn’t recognised in

AGED CARE: Respect CEO Jason Binder believes the current model to determine aged care extra funding needs changes. income mechanisms, but the government have been very supportive of the Cooma community in other ways, for example in the allocation of capital grants to projects.

“It’s not that the government doesn’t care about regional communities, it’s that we haven’t got the cost disparity and funding fairness mechanisms right yet.”

Mr Binder said their primary mission is to keep regional aged care homes in their communities so older people don’t need to move away to receive care.

INTERNATIONAL Women’s Day for 2024 may have just been celebrated in Delegate, but those who attended (and a lot of who couldn’t make it) are already looking forward to next year.

Delegate IWD organiser Karen Cash said all of the 46 women who attended the full day of activities at Delegate School of Arts had had such a great time that they were keen to do it all over again. Especially, the chair yoga.

“We started the day with half an hour of chair yoga led by local yoga teacher Sue King and it got us all relaxed and ready for the day,” Mrs Cash said.

“Many women hadn’t tried any kind of yoga previously, so it was a wonderful experience and we would love to do it again.

Basically you are sitting on a chair doing yoga exercises, so it is not too taxing.”

Guests included women from Delegate, Bombala and across the border in Victoria, with all ages represented.

Highlights of the day - apart from a delicious lunch - were a presentation (with a quiz at the end) on recycling, by a Snowy Monaro Council representative and a talk by artist Natalie Bateman about how she

“Both were fantastic,” Ms Cash said.

“Council’s recycling guru had gone to a lot of trouble to create a presentation for us and we really appreciated it and learned a lot.

And Natalie’s talk was fascinating. She had slides as

examples of some of her work so we had a great insight into what makes her art so special.”

Sherida Edgecombe from Bibbenluke spoke about her lavender farm and plans for expansion and Mrs Cash gave an update on how grant funds had been used around Delegate.

SELWYN Snow Resort has had a busy summer, completing significant works to the resort infrastructure in time for the 2024 winter season.

Guests this year can expect a refreshed resort that has something for everyone, from tobogganing to learning to ski for the first time or making turns on their advanced runs.

“The Selwyn team has been hard at work doing rehabilitation on the mountain to ensure the environment is restored to somewhat prebushfire conditions and fixing the electrical, ensuring the resort has a stable power supply to keep the lights on and lifts spinning this winter season,” a Selwyn Resort spokesperson said.

In addition, the team has installed piping to Three Mile Dam to improve the

potable water supply to the resort as well as invested in increased seating capacity within the Selwyn Centre to ensure guests can comfortably enjoy the centre during peak periods.

Selwyn opens from the June long weekend to the October long weekend depending on snow conditions and will be releasing some exciting offers throughout season on their social media pages.

Selwyn was extensively damaged during the bushfires in 2020 and was reopened to the public in 2023 following a three year rebuild.

Whilst being the newest snow resort in Australia since the rebuild, Selwyn is also the only resort located in the northern side of Kosciuszko National Park.

The resort was forced to close in August last season due to a lack of snow.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Costly sports stadium THE Snowy Monaro’s agricultural shows have come to an end for another year with the Bombala Show the last on the calendar.

There were a number of additions to the show program this year, highlighted by the return of show cattle.

Bombala Exhibition Society president Sophie Campbell had the honour of awarding Bombala community stalwart Di Ingram with life membership of the exhibition society.

A well deserved accolade for the Bombala’s 2024 Citizen of the Year.

In last week’s paper, we shared the frustrations of many Cooma businesses who were not notified by Snowy Monaro Regional Council of road works in the CBD. A number of business owners said they had lost about 50 percent of their usual business while roads were closed for the work.

Council issued an update on their ‘urban road works program’ last week, and in it, apologised for failing to directly notify businesses.

The Monaro Committee for Cancer Research has unveiled its latest fundraising event and true to form, it’s generating plenty of interest around the region.

The theme is Hot City Disco, a throwback to the disco era in Cooma during the 1970s.

Around 40 locals have accepted the mcCr’s offer to be part of the special fundraising effort, including editor of The Monaro Post and Summit Sun, Nathan Thompson. While early reports indicate his dancing needs lots of work, he is looking forward to helping the mcCr raise money.

Late last year, we ran a series of stories on the challenges facing the Snowy Mountains Medical Centre in attracting GPs. In some excellent news, Dr Steve Breathour who runs the practice, has found a new GP and the centre will remain open. A win for the quickly growing Jindabyne community.

Food, dancing and music from dozens of cultures were a hit at the Cooma Multicultural Festival. Rain failed to dampen spirits as Cooma celebrated its multicultural roots.

Performers travelled from across the south east and Canberra to sing and dance in Centennial Park. Well done to Yvi Henderson, Cooma Multicultural Centre coordinator and her team for their efforts in staging another popular festival.

THE report to Snowy Monaro Regional Council’s March 21, 2024, meeting regarding fees and charges make some interesting and concerning reading.

The report refers the proposed fees and charges for the new Cooma Regional Sports Hub which is on education department land and is reported to be operated by Council as a licencee.

The estimates accompanying the report are interesting but very concerning. The estimated annual income based on

a court hire fee of $60 per hour is $63,000.

The estimated annual operational costs are $185,000 for contractors, $75,000 for utilities, $56,000 for cleaning and $100,000 for maintenance.

Those figures total a staggering expenditure of $425,000 but with an income of just $63,000.

How can those figures be justified in the context of the financial sustainability of our Council.

The report on proposed fees and charges to Council in No-

vember 2023 projected a deficit budget for the operation of the hub to be $584,750 which included depreciation of an unspecified amount.

The questions that spring to mind include, what do contractors do for the cost of $185,000, why is a new building going to cost $100,000 for maintenance, why does the licencee have to account for depreciation on a building it does not own and what is the state government’s contribution towards the operation of the building?

I am told that the government contribution for the use by the school is a confidential figure under a privacy agreement between Council and the NSW Government.

It seems to me that Council and the ratepayers have been once again shafted by our state government. We need some straight answers here from someone, state or local.

Laugh until your stomach hurts

By KAREN FORMAN, THEATRE REVIEW YOU will laugh until your stomach hurts. And that is a lot for me to say, given I don’t consider myself a person who laughs loudly - or even often enough.

But, if you go along to Cooma Little Theatre’s (CLT) first production for 2024, which is a combination of two, one act plays by the same author with a clever little connection between the two, then you are guaranteed some great belly laughs.

And isn’t a good laugh what we all need in a life that is still very much recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic years?

The CLT certainly is still recovering from a couple of years of not being able to play and earn money to keep the volunteer organisation afloat, but if the level of support shown by the decent sized audiences when the show opened at the weekend is anything to go by, then it is well on its way.

With ticket prices not much more than a few glasses of wine or a few more cups of takeaway coffee, a night at CLT is an affordable and enjoyable night out.

And you get to forget everything else that is going on in your life and have a good chuckle as you find something to relate to in one or both of the plays, which have both been directed by first time directors Jessica Scott and Natalie Revelant.

Both were written by Ian McWethy, but Natalie told The Monaro Media Group, publisher of this paper, at dress rehearsal, that each director had chosen her play separately and it was only a coincidence that they had both chosen McWethy’s work.

From the moment the curtain opens on High School Reunion, you need to buckle yourself in for a fun ride.

Scott has selected her cast perfectly and managed to

THEATRE: High School Reunion is one of two excellent productions on at the Cooma Little Theatre currently.

Cooma Little Theatre production, a guaranteed laugh for everyone convey the passing of time (around 60 years ) in between the characters chatting after their Year 10 formal and then finally their 65 year reunion, extremely well.

My high school aged daughter was in stitches as the antics of the younger cast, particularly, made sense to her, while the more mature aged me definitely related to the social nuances, politics and human frailty of the characters at their 10 and 25 year reunions, which weren’t unlike my own (not in this region).

Very clever was the use of a janitor to provide some time for actors to change costume, messing around with the event signage and engaging the audience with some extra giggles.

Bad Auditions by Bad Actors, the second play, is polished, even funnier than the first (all in the writing, not the direction or the acting), and fast paced. It’s almost over before it has begun.

Revelant, who finished Year 12 last year and had spent a lifetime at CLT, her biggest acting role being Amy in Little Women, unashamedly demanded a lot from her cast, telling this papert she ‘had a vision and wasn’t going to sway from it’.

Various actors play a number of roles, as a casting director ‘working for Relevant’, ‘the most famous director in the Monaro’ and the CLT ‘the best theatre in the Monaro’, suffers her way through 10 auditions for Romeo and Juliet.

The actors are as the title suggests, bad, and poorly behaved, and that is where the belly laughs come in.

Without giving too much away, if you are a cat owner you will be amazed at how an actor could so correctly adopt the nuiances of a cat, and if you have never worn a unitard, then you probably never will.

Congratulations to Cooma Little Theatre, its directors

Riposte

By LISA ASHURST EVERY now and then I get the compulsion to rearrange my living spaces.

Over the years that has been governed by the size and/or shape of said space, depending on the place I was living in, but even when a major reshuffle wasn’t possible, I’d still manage to change it in some way.

And now the compulsion is on me again.

It didn’t necessarily fall on me all of a sudden like, it was more of a gradual thing that grew out of the desire to find a more practical dining option (I need a more practical table) and from there my gaze wandered to my living area; more specifically to the two seater couch against one of the walls, and zeroed in on how I could rearrange the whole lounge room if that couch wasn’t there.

I haven’t forgotten about the need for a more practical dining table, but it’s slipped into the background because the lounge room has become my new obsession.

So the couch has to go. I’ve had it for a number of years but it’s still in fairly good nick because, well, it hardly ever gets used.

I don’t know why. It’s attractive, it’s comfortable and it’s served me well, but since moving to my current abode, it has pretty much just sat there with hardly anyone ever sitting on it, so it’s no longer serving any purpose.

And now that I’ve decided I can live without it, it has become an obstacle to my plans to makeover the lounge room and it’s continued presence is the only reason why I haven’t already done it. Because I

can’t until it goes.

Which course is very frustrating because once I’ve decided to rearrange a room, I want to do it on the spot.

I can visualise how it will look and it will be soooo nice! The room will look lighter and more spacious and it will also allow a more practical use of the space on several levels.

The only way I can deal with the delay is to find something else to curb my impatience that is relevant to the makeover and fortunately I was given a nice wooden two-drawer filing cabinet just recently; a practical addition to my home office.

But how is it saving me from taking out my frustrations on the couch? Well, it has a dark brown finish and seeing as I don’t do dark and I don’t do brown, I now have to prep it and paint it to turn it into an item that is not only functional, but really attractive and in keeping with my decor.

Because that’s what I do. Colour.

I can still remember the chart thingies I did in Excel at TAFE (and I’m sure Sharnie and Andrea will never forget them either). The totals might have been completely insane, because I’m you-know-what with numbers, but they looked so pretty.

But anyway, making over the filing cabinet will distract me from taking my frustrations out on the couch because its continuing presence is putting the kibosh on my lounge room plans. It’s not exactly the couch’s fault or anything, but now that I want it gone, I want it gone. I’ve made the decision.

I’ll get back to the dining table later.

The Good Dog, a good ‘ripping’ yarn Book review by Nick Goldie A YEAR ago we reviewed ‘Wild Card’, a fine police drama by Australian author Simon Rowell.

Set along the Murray, it had a cast of bikies, Mafiosi, NSW and Victorian police and detective Zoe Mayer, with her service dog, a golden retriever called Harry.

Just why Zoe Mayer should have a dog was not explained in detail, but becomes clearer in this third instalment of her life. In book one (‘The Long Game’) she had a traumatic experience with a helicopter.

Harry, who is a calm and intelligent animal, keeps her grounded and indeed is a central character in the latest yarn.

A black night on Mount Macedon; gun shots, local police are called from Macedon village, and a body is found at the base of the memorial cross. More police arrive, from Woodend, Gisborne, Kyneton.

Most Melbourne people are probably familiar with Mount Macedon if only as a picnic destination. The 1000

metre volcanic ridge was a popular destination for the rich to build grand houses, many of which were later lost to bushfires, the survivors today largely managed by the National Trust.

On the summit is the 20 metre memorial cross, remembering the First World War. The mountain’s natural bushland is dense, wet, and impenetrable. The village of Macedon is at the mountain’s foot, while up on the ridge is a scattering of gourmet restaurants, health food shops and a popular pub.

The keen senses of Harry the dog come to the fore, and

a second gunshot victim is found, still barely alive. Who are these people, and why are they shooting one another?

There’s a complex back-story involving millions of dollars and a failed resort development in Indonesia.

The bad guys want their money back, with interest.

It’s then that Sarah, the teenage daughter of the murdered lawyer, is abducted and held in a secret location. An anonymous call threatens: come up with the money, and the girl won’t be harmed.

Once again, it’s Harry who saves the day. As Sarah’s mother says: A very good dog.

As in all police procedurals, there’s a big cast of villains, police officers, innocent bystanders and, in this case, one dog. There’s a plot twist which is guaranteed to catch you napping. And – slightly improbably – everyone, lawyers, aged parents, detectives, everyone involved, are all using every modern device, operating phones, computers, 3D printers, without missing a beat.

And just as we think we know who did what, and to whom, and why, the author Simon Rowell wrong-foots us again, and cleverly brings the past into the bright light

Local photographer celebrates mums Review of Raglan Gallery’s latest exhibition

By KAREN FORMAN SO MUCH love. The sort of love that gives you goosebumps. That makes your heart beat just that little bit faster and louder.

Love is what photographer Katie Phillips’ exquisite new exhibition, Mummahood, is all about and when you enter the Tillers Gallery at The Raglan in Cooma before March 24, love is what you will feel, taste and be touched by.

Not just any love. But mother love. Woman love.

Mother and baby love.

Mother and grownup offspring love.

I wasn’t expecting to quite feel so much emotion when I showed up on opening night of Katie’s third annual Mummahood show.

I love art and I love music (and very much enjoyed the ambience provided at the

opening by Cooma musician Caroline Fox on piano and Laura Davidson on vocals). I was in a good mood and excited about seeing the exhibition of Katie’s work.

But, I got four images in, and I was almost in tears.

Maybe it is because I am a mother myself and my baby has just turned 18 years old.

Suddenly I was seeing my daughter in the pictures of women in pregnancy, in the pictures of women cradling a baby in a field in the soft Monaro Plains afternoon light, in the pictures of little girls with their mums and siblings, and in the pictures of several generations of mothers. I was feeling most of the emotions I felt as she was growing up - and what I am feeling now with her in adulthood and me working out ‘what happens next’.

It was like life was flash-

ing in front of my eyes.

Katie, who works in art therapy as well as a photographer in her own business, appears to have a very rare ability to capture emotion, not just using beautiful places, soft flowing dresses and cute babies, but by focussing on the eyes of her subjects. They say the eyes are the window to the soul and this is certainly true of the photographs in the 2024 Mummahood collection.

The big brother, his eyes full of confidence and importance in his new role, tugging on Mum’s arm as she leads his mother and newborn baby sibling through a forest.

The little baby, unsure about the person taking a photo, but Mum’s looking reassuredly into her eyes, no words needed.

The nine months pregnant mums, posing in gor-

geous flowing gowns, hands protectively on tummies, their eyes showing their excitement, their uncertainty, their relief, for what is to come.

Growing up with brothers, adventuring in the outdoors, I always preferred the company of males and didn’t feel like I belonged with women. I was a free spirit, a global traveller, and my female friends were women like me. Not all that maternal and more black sheep than white.

Things changed after my daughter was born and I found I craved the company and warmth and maternal nurturing of women. My own mum, aunts, cousins, other mums. The Mummahood exhibition, which Katie intends to create every year ‘because motherhood isn’t over in just one showing’, captures exactly those things. Whether you are a mother or not, you are guaranteed to feel very much part of the woman-

hood while viewing the photographs.

And what better day to officially open Mummahood than on International Women’s Day? Katie has two children, Lilly born in 2017 and twoyear-old Sparkey. She holds a Bachelor of Visual Arts, majoring in photography, from Sydney University and also has worked in art therapy at Canberra Hospital adult mental health unit and with drug and alcohol patients, which she describes as ‘amazing’.

She runs a womens’ group on Wednesdays at the Monaro Family Support Service and is in the process of a new project which will involve connection sessions of art therapy for families.

Women interested in being featured in the 2025 Mummahood project can contact Katie or the gallery and proceeds from any of her Mummahood books go to UNICEF’s Children of Gaza Foundation.

Judges announced for Bombala busking

By KAREN FORMAN JUDGES have been announced for Bombala’s inaugural Australian National Busking Championships (ANBC) regional finals in October.

They are ANBC founder, Allan Spencer, from Cooma, professional singer/songwriter/ guitarist/performer and music teacher Simon Grace, from Berridale, and singer/guitarist/performer and music teacher Sue Sell from Jinbabyne.

Both Mrs Sell and Mr Grace began their musical careers as young people busking. Both play with bands and organise major entertainment events within the Snowy Monaro community and both work in the school system.

Mrs Sell has run the Jindabyne Carols in the Park for almost 30 years and plays in the band on the night, mentors young musicians through her role as head of music at Snowy Mountains Grammar School

(SMGS) and is involved with musical productions and community events, such as ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day. Mr Grace runs the Berrijam Open Mic event each month, heads up a Cooma Choir, plays for the Berridale Anglican Church services and teaches guitar privately.

Mr Spencer is also a music teacher. He won the Cooma Australia Day Award in 2024 for his services to the arts community, nationwide.

“We are delighted to have judges of this calibre, from our own region, for our inaugural Bombala ANBC event,” organiser Rob Hampshire said.

“Bombala is excited as a town to become part of the ANBC family and join other centres around Australia in providing regional finals which then feed into the national grand final to be held in Cooma in November.

“Already local businesses are coming onboard with sponsorship, offers of busking stations

and other support and we are really looking forward to opening entries and welcoming local and visiting buskers of all ages, genres and talents, to our beautiful town on the river, with its platypus, wonderful shops and local produce.”

Mr Hampshire said Facebook and Instagram pages had been set up in the name of ANBC Bombala and would provide information about the event as it came to hand, including entries, which would open in a couple of months’ time.

Mr Hampshire said he hoped to welcome buskers from all around NSW, if not interstate, and was looking forward to a wide range of genres.

“Hopefully we will see some of our folky friends from the coast, some rock and rollers of all ages and a wide range of instruments,” he said.

“Categories will cover primary and secondary and open, soloists, duos and bands.

We will also have, like the

supports local

other regional finals, a people’s choice category for people to vote for their favourite buskers and will be running some workshops in drumming and ukelele for people to try their hand at these instruments.”

He encouraged people to go online and like and follow the social media pages to keep informed.

Mrs Sell she was thrilled and honoured to accept the role of judge and looked forward to seeing some of her students busking on the day.

Mr Grace was also delighted to be involved and said he always looked forward to seeing people, especially newcomers, starting out and gaining confidence.

“Many top performances started out as buskers,” he said.

“Street performance is a fantastic place to start and there are a lot of professional buskers around who make a living solely from busking.” Mr Grace said.

Cooma embraces multicultural festival THE sights, sounds and tastes of dozens of cultures highlighted one of the most well attended Cooma Multicultural Festivals yet.

Hundreds attended the festival in Cooma’s Centennial Park as performers and musicians came from across the Snowy Monaro, Canberra and south-east NSW to showcase their talents.

Persistent rain failed to dampen the spirits of festival attendees, performers and stall holders with many comments that this year’s festival was one of the most memorable.

The event was held on Sunday.

Artists encouraged to enter local awards

By KAREN FORMAN LOCAL artists are being encouraged to enter the Climate Action Monaro (CAM) Art Awards with just two months to finish their work.

People who like to draw, paint, illustrate, take photographs, draw cartoons, work with textiles or make collages have been invited to take part, with the only stipulation being that the final artwork must be able to be hung on a wall.

The awards offer a showing and potential sales at an exhibition set down for May 15, the opportunity to

win cash prizes totalling around $4000, but also, as spokesperson, Wendy McDougall says, the chance for artists who really care about the environment to produce artwork and support the cause.

“Money is always a great attraction, but we hope people who really care will take part too,” she said.

Climate Action Monaro says it aims to help the community understand the causes and impacts of the warming climate, empower and enable people to help address the causes and effects of climate change at the individual

and community level and advocate for policy change at all levels of government to reduce greenhouse emissions and address existing and future impacts of climate change.

Climate Action Monaro has asked artists to interpret the brief, ‘imagine a clean energy future’.

“This boils down to thinking about how you want your future to look, in particular when thinking of climate change and how that is affecting us all,” Ms McDougall said.

“How you feel about what life might be like. How you imagine its should be,

could be, hope it will be.”

Ms McDougall said CAM had done the hard yards to help explain climate change, clean energy and all that was involved, in a practical and scientific way.

“Climate Action Monaro recognises artists have a way of cutting to the chase with visual interpretations and imagery that can say so much in one artwork,” Ms McDougall said.

“The group has decided to offer this event plus make it a competition with cash involved on top of the chances of sales for the artists as much as finding new

ways of making comments about climate change.

“The work of artists speaks volumes and can be useful interpretations of the important work CAM does around nature and our future.”

Ms McDougall said another way artists could tackle the challenge was by considering the artistic genre of environmental art.

“This is a movement adopted by artists of different disciplines who are inspired by nature or use it as a raw material, transmitting its beauty and encouraging us to take care

of it,” she said.

“Environmental art forces us to think about the consequences of our behaviour on the planet.

If you think about this, if you have a vision for your thoughts, then this is exactly what the CAM Art Awards are all about.”

Artists can use objects, recycle materials and textures from nature.

To enter the awards, collect an entry form from the Raglan Gallery or online at climateactionmonaro.org. au There is a limit of two entries per artist and entry fee is $15 per entry.

Pulling on the gloves to help Snow Gums

By LUKE TREADWELL FOLLOWING a successful day out in 2023, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) hosted their second annual Guthega tree planting day.

Hosted by the Guthega Ski Club, the planting day took place on Saturday March 16.

The project aims to plant 1000 Snow Gums in and around Guthega village, helping regenerate areas affected by dieback caused by the Longicorn beetle.

All volunteers were thoroughly briefed on how and where to plant the Snow Gums, and enjoyed a sausage sizzle lunch.

National Park and Wildlife

Service staff provided an update on the battle against Snow Gum dieback, which has affected much of the local population, as well as other items of interest to the Guthega and alpine community.

A spokesperson for NPWS said it was a fun opportunity to get to know the community, get children involved, and allow people to do their bit for the iconic Snow Gum. Participants learned all about site preparation, hole digging, planting, staking, protecting and mulching.

Those who took part spoke of their satisfaction in helping regenerate areas of Snow Gum and look forward to the next tree planting occasion.

Chamber progresses with light installation THE community support at last year’s Jindabyne Snow Ball, raising nearly $20,000, has propelled the Jindabyne Chamber of Commerce forward in their mission to install speciality lighting throughout the Jindabyne CBD. The Chamber released a statement last week saying ‘the installation goes beyond mere aesthetics; it is integral to promoting safety, bolstering the night-time economy, and cultivating an inviting

atmosphere for residents and guests alike’.

“Our [Chamber] detailed proposal, which has been submitted to council, includes a five-year plan focusing on installation, maintenance, and repair,” the statement said.

“This comprehensive strategy ensures the project’s longevity and its enduring positive impact on our community, covering several zones across Jindabyne.

“In the Chamber’s

commitment to excellence, we are carefully selecting lighting solutions that promise durability, suitability for the Alpine climate, commercialgrade quality, and resistance to vandalism.”

After gathering multiple quotes, the statement said the Chamber is in the final stages of choosing the best options that align with the community’s needs and environmental considerations.

“Our goal is to secure Council

approval and commence installation before May. This project holds immense importance for our town, and we are dedicated to meeting this timeline. We appreciate the community’s continued support and believe that collective positive vibes can truly make a difference, so please join us in keeping those fingers and toes crossed,” the statement said.

“As the Chamber focus on the lighting project, the

Landholders encouraged Cattle, sheep to join RFS vehicle trial market update SNOWY Monaro landowners have less than a month left to register for a trial designed to enhance rural firefighting capabilities.

A collaboration between Transport for NSW and the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS), the trial enables the use of private farm fire fighting vehicles without registration, provided they meet specific eligibility criteria.

A spokesperson for the RFS said vehicles must have fire-fighting equipment permanently attached, operate within a 100km radius of the storage address, and be maintained in a safe operating condition.

“These measures ensure that while not registered, these vehicles are adequately equipped to assist in emergency situations and contribute effectively to firefighting efforts,” the spokesperson said.

EQUIPPED: Landowners have only a few weeks to register for a trial enabling the use of “To nominate a farm fire private farm fire fighting vehicles without registration. fighting vehicle for the trial, “A copy of this form and Completed nomination submit the completed farm side of the vehicle and one acknowledgement fire fighting vehicle nomina- from the rear, which in- forms should be sent to your must be produced to NSW tion form and include two cludes the passenger side of fffv@transport.nsw.gov.au.

THE cattle market has experienced a downturn across all indicators.

Cattle yardings have decreased by 20,001 to 67,332 head, marking a 30 percent increase compared to figures from 2023. Notably, there has been a 40 percent increase in weekon-week yardings compared to 2023.

The feeder steer indicator has declined by 21c to 308c/kg liveweight (lwt), reflecting weaker prices than usual.

Yardings remain stable compared to last week, holding at around 9,257 head. Weak demand is resulting in reduced competition for well-finished cattle.

Restocker yearling steers declined 16c to 339c/kg lwt. Although prices have eased across all states, yardings increased by 1542 to 5466 head. Market reports suggest buyers are becoming more selective regarding quality and are favouring heavier cattle regardless of age.

The sheep market has also experienced a downturn across all indicators.

Yardings deceased by

17,997 to 233,434 head, with both sheep and lamb yardings declining by 15 percent and four percent, respectively.

The light lamb indicator declined by 17c to 532c/ kg carcase weight (cwt).

Yardings eased by 1849 to 25,582 head. Market reports indicate short skin and well-finished light lambs received a premium.

The mutton indicator eased by two cents to 223c/kg carcase weight (cwt). Prices are relatively mixed across states, with Victorian prices increasing by 15c due to greater competition among buyers at Ballarat. Conversely, prices decreased by seven cents at Dubbo but remain 20c above the national average.

The price differential is attributed to relatively consistent quality at saleyards, with prices holding steady for light and medium-weight sheep and rising for heavyweight ewes.

14th Annual Feature Weaner Sale

THE Wagga Wagga market last week was volatile, with significant rate fluctuations.

Buyers faced a mixed offering of lambs, many unfinished or with longer wool.

All buyers made it to the sale however major domestic processor competition was minimal. Restockers were few with the dry conditions in the back of everyone’s minds.

Feedlot buyers focused on well-bred shorter skin lambs in trade weight classes.

Competition for trade lambs was inconsistent, leading to some significant price drops, however short skinned well shaped lambs equalled last week’s rates and in isolated sales sold to dearer tends.

Lambs weighing 20 to 24kg traded from $90 to $154, averaging 607c/ kg cwt. Store lambs declined by $12, and light lambs for processors decreased by $10 to $13, with more substantial drops in isolated sales.

Hoggets came under pressure, struggling for competition, prices ranged from $51 to $118. Heavy lambs saw increased interest, with 26 to 30kg holding firm at $155 to $203, while those over 30kg rose by $6, fetching $190 to $241.

Big grain fed Merino lambs sold from $165 to $204/head. In the mutton sale, additional buyers were present, all eager for a market share. Heavy ewes fetched up to $12 dearer, averaging 272c/kg cwt.

Trade sheep drew a larger group of buyers, trading between $44 to $69, averaging 232c/kg cwt.

▲ WINNER: Toby Shying receiving his award, the Tommy Turnbull Memorial Shield from Dallas Golby, judge and Michele Balaz, the daughter of the late Tommy Turnbull.

THE 2024 Cooma Show on March 9 was again blessed with perfect weather, and a beautifully prepared surface meant that the showjumping was excellent.

With some very accomplished horses and riders travelling to our show, Friday and Saturday classes provided a wonderful spectacle for locals throughout both days.

Many local children competed in the 50cm and 70cm classes on Friday afternoon and the feature junior competition, the Tommy Turnbull Memorial was contested by some of our up-and-coming junior district riders.

This year, the trophy was won by talented Jindabyne junior Toby Shying riding his handy grey gelding Scottie Gilbert.

Another very capable junior rider Payten Collins from Bega featured in many of the open classes and she was awarded the sash for most successful junior over the two days.

The feature event on Saturday was the Murranumbla Livestock Grand Prix and although there was only five horses entered, it was a great competition.

The fences were set at 1.35m – 1.40m and spectators were treated to a wonderful display as Sarah Dreverman (a former local rider) and Deon Williams from Bega

challenged each other for the main prize.

The winner with two beautiful clear rounds of jumping was Sarah Dreverman riding her lovely bay gelding Emmaville Van Gogh.

Sarah also rode several of Grant and Heather Hughes’ horses in the grand prix and the mini prix and it was lovely to welcome the Emmaville team to Cooma for the show.

Sarah was also awarded the sash for the most successful rider in the showjumping for the weekend.

With some last minute changes to the entertainment offered on Saturday afternoon is was decided to run a six-bar showjumping competition.

This event is always popular with spectators and even though it was a last minute change, the event did not disappoint and the jumping was exciting and spectacular as two horses made it through the five rounds of competition.

In the end, they could not be separated so it was equal first to Lane Clarke riding Emmaville Blue Diamond and Sarah Dreverman riding Emmaville Twist.

Thank you to the committee who had the foresight to support and sponsor this event at the last minute.

Special thanks to our judge Dallas Golby who hails from Shep-

Blue Heelers topple Bulldogs in the Bay

By LUKE TREADWELL THE 2024 Monaro Knockout commenced in Batemans Bay over the weekend with local teams the Bombala Blue Heelers and Snowy River Bears travelling for the competition which started on Friday night March 15.

Five Group 16 sides took to the field in Batemans Bay meaning fans got a taste of what of what they have to look forward to in 2024.

The Blue Heelers are led

by Captain Coach Luke Ingram in 2024 and took on the Cootamundra Bulldogs at Mackay Park on Friday night.

A spokesperson for the Blue Heelers said it was an exciting weekend for Luke and the squad as they finally put the hard work from pre season out onto the field.

The Blue Heelers defeated the Bulldogs 12-6 meaning they needed a win over the Molong Bulls in a semi-final to get a spot in the plate final but went down 12-0.

The Snowy River Bears took home the plate last year and were back in action

Ingram’s Blue Heelers aim up ahead of season 2024

MOMENTUM: The Snowy River Bears have fielded a full strength side in the Batemans Bay Monaro Knockout ahead of season 2024.

again this year with the aim of going one better and taking home the cup.

The Bears took on the Canowindra Tigers in their first game coming away with the win 16-0 before meeting with Group 16 rivals the Merimbula Pambula Bull-

dogs in the prime time slot at Mackay Park.

We were winning till half time until the Bulldogs scored a try in the second half, President Rob Freebody said.

“We missed a goal in front which made things a bit dif-

ficult, ” Freebody said.

“It was a solid hit out for us but the 15 minute halves made it hard to get going.”

“Most teams were saying the short periods were interrupting the flow a bit, and upsetting rhythm.”

“The pre-season style

meant there were lots of interchanges.”

“Merimbula said it was the toughest game they played at the knockout with both sides fielding full strength teams.”

“The match had a similar feeling to last year’s final

clash, not quite as harsh and played in good spirit, overall a good hit out ahead of the season.”

Merimbula Pambula Bulldogs, last years Group 16 premiers went on to win the Men’s Tackle Cup beating Avondale 16-4 in the final.

The Moruya Sharks return to Group 16 rugby league in 2024 after a year away from the competition due to a lack of numbers and the club had its first hit out against the St Georges Basin Dragons on Friday afternoon.

The Moruya Sharks were victorious 20-6 over the Dragons and also won their second match 18-6 over the Mount Warrigal Kooris. Moruya went down in a nail biter 12-10 in their semi against Avondale.

The 2024 Batemans Bay Monaro Knockout Ladies Tag Cup winners were the Binalong Brahmans claiming victory over the Eden Tigers 22-10, while the Eden Tigers men won the Men’s Tackle Plate and the Bega Chicks took home the Ladies Tag Plate.

Jindabyne athletic talents compete in championships A SMALL but dedicated group of six athletes from Jindabyne Little Athletics Club headed to Canberra over the weekend to compete in the ACT U9 - U13 Little Athletics Championships.

The first day saw the hotly contested 100m heats and finals. Four athletes from Jindabyne competed, with three making the finals. In an explosive race for the U11 boys, Nicholas Whitehead was just pipped for the win, taking silver, with Samuel Preston not far behind tying for fifth. Billie Paxton held her own in the U11 girls final finishing seventh in a new PB. The youngest member of the team, Matthew Preston, competing for the first time

at this level, managed a sixth place in shot put and put in gutsy runs in the 70m and 100m sprints.

The final event of Saturday’s track program, also the longest event on the program, was the 1500m with Billie and Samuel lining up for the U11 Girls and Boys races respectively. Not wanting to run quite that far, Nicholas took his second silver for the day in the 400m, closing in fast at the finish of the race.

Not to be outdone by their track team mates, Edie Degnan and Matilda Forsdyke headed to the field for Javelin and Discus, with Matilda also stepping up for the triple jump. Competing for the first time in Javelin both girls posted PBs finish-

ing seventh and fourth. A delayed start to the discus event, saw it finish at close to 6pm. Despite the delays Matilda came away with the bronze. Not to be outdone Nic Whitehead, competing for the first time in triple jump, took the silver medal by just 15cms, jumping a massive 9.13m.

The wet weather on Sunday did not dampen their spirits. First up on the program all three girls headed to the long jump pit, with Billie making the final eight.

Nicholas, competing at the other long jump pit for the U11 boys jumped a PB of 4.48m to take the win. In another PB performance, Nicholas also took the win in the high jump, clearing a new personal best height

of 1.44m before stopping to rest up before the 200m.

Next to the high jump bag, Matilda and Edie competed in shot put. Both girls made the top eight with Matilda throwing a PB of 7.59m for the gold medal. The last event of the Championship saw Billie and Nic line up for the 200m. In a tough heat Billie fought hard. Nicholas followed in a repeat of the 100m just getting pipped in a very quick PB time of 29.40 seconds to take the silver.

All athletes had top eight finishes and many PBs were recorded. The final medal tally for our team of six athletes was three gold, four silver and one bronze. With a few more weeks of Little Athletics training, these athletes are looking to fur-

Fleming stars in country champs

Berridale crowned junior cricket premiers THE final of the Monaro junior cricket competition was played earlier this month with Berridale emerging as premiers.

Berridale and Jindabyne capped off fine seasons with both producing quality displays in the decider.

Berridale batted first with Jack Willsmer and Issac Freebody setting a solid platform. Isaac played a range of excellent shots to have the scoring rate sitting at a run-a-ball.

Jack retired on 17 not out after facing 30-balls.

Jindabyne’s bowlers were on target with the leg-spin of Tom Preston bringing about

the opening wicket.

Owen Freebody progressed the scoring at a quicker rate, finishing with 34 not out. Support from captain Aron Fention 23 not out saw Berridale reach 5/115 off their 20 overs.

In the chase, Jindabyne lost an early wicket through the fine bowling of Felix Bertossi.

Mason Marks look composed before he was bowled which brought Jensen to the crease. The powerful lefthander dispatched the bowling on his way to 27.

Bronte Hearn claimed the break through with her medium pace accurate.

Jindabyne showed great commitment to bat to almost the 20 over mark, to finish 30-runs behind.

Berridale coach Grant Ross said he was really proud of his side.

“They are a pleasure to coach, the fielding was exceptional from both teams but Berridale’s experience is what got them across the line,” Ross said.

Jindabyne coach Chad Steven congratulated his side on reaching the final.

“We’ve come along way this season. The team trained very hard and deserved to make the final,” Stevens said.

Car Club museum motoring along

By NATHAN THOMPSON THE Cooma Car Club Motoring Museum is home to one of the nation’s great vintage and muscle car collections.

The museum is open each Tuesday and on the first Saturday of the month.

Built by the members of the Cooma Car Club over a number of years, the museum was completed in February 2022 and has quickly gained a reputation as one of the town’s most popular attractions, drawing in automotive enthusiasts from far and wide.

“This museum has really been a labour of love for the club,” Car Club president Tony Nassar said.

“A lot of our members are older folks and this project has really given them a lot of inspiration and a new attitude to life, so it’s wonderful to have seen it all come to fruition and turn out as well as it has.

“Since the museum

Sparing no expense with the styling, one end of the museum is furnished as an Americana-style diner that serves cold drinks and food for visitors, and the other

end is styled as a 1920s service station with historic bowsers and signage.

But of course, the main attraction is the cars themselves and the members of the Cooma Car Club jointly possess one of the greatest automotive collections to be found anywhere in the country.

One of museum’s most

prized vehicles is a 1920 Model T Ford, in its total original condition. The vehicle has lived in Caesar’s Palace Casino and the American National Motor Museum, before arriving in Cooma.

The 1920 Model T Ford, in its beautiful black, has won many awards over the last few years.

There is a wonderful range of cars on display at the Cooma Car Club Motoring Museum.

Other vehicles of note in the museum include a 1926 Dodge that runs on charcoal, and an amphibious car.

There are land speed record cars, and even a classic Jeep that was once occupied by the Queen. There is also a variety of historic motorcycles and a plethora of automotive memora-

bilia and throwbacks to the Monaro’s motoring history.

The Cooma Car Club is located at 11 Bolaro St Cooma and is open every Tuesday from 9am to 1pm and on the first Saturday of every month from 10am to 3pm.

Group bookings can also be made by appointment on 0407 299 008.

Former Perisher Ski Patroller remembered MORE than 650 people have converged on Thredbo over the weekend to tackle Australia’s highest peak, Mount Kosciuszko, in a charity challenge raising awareness and vital funds for rare and less common cancers.

Kosi Challenge participants started at the base in Thredbo Village and hiked up to the mountain’s summit and back, an epic 21km round trip.

Along the way, they also raised funds which go directly to Rare Cancers Australia and its vital patient support programs.

Among the climbers on the Challenge, is 50-yearold, Kellie Franken, who is climbing in honour of her neighbour, close friend and Perisher ski patrol volunteer Shane Fritchley, who passed away at 35, in 2020, from Stage 4a Colorectal Cancer.

“Shane was cheeky, funny and always the life of the party,” Kellie said.

“He was also adventurous, and an amazing skier, just brilliant to watch. He skied the slopes of the mountains here in Perisher and the world, but his heart was here at Kosi. Even some of his ashes are scattered here on the mountains.”

Shane joined the Perisher Ski Patrol in his 20s where he was a committed member and helped many people on the mountain with rescues and first aid.

His father, Charles, a long-serving volunteer ski patroller, mentored Shane on the slopes and trained him up to become a well-respected and loved member of the team.

Kosi Challenge supports Rare Cancers Australia

CHARITY CHALLENGE: Former Perisher Ski Patroller Shane Fritchley has been remembered Kellie Franken wants to raise not only funds but awareness by close friend Kellie Franker who took on the Kosi Challenge in his honour. of rare cancers and early detection.

Thinking back on Shane’s cancer journey, Kellie remembers how gruelling his chemotherapy treatments had become and the toll it was taking on Shane’s body, but not his spirit.

‘Chemotherapy is a rotten drug when you think about what it’s trying to do, therefore the side effects were aplenty, they differed from week to week,’ Shane wrote

in a personal blog.

‘I had to come to terms with this being my life for the foreseeable future, I was now living with cancer, and I wasn’t going to able to lead my normal life.

‘I made a decision early on that I’m not about to roll over, I’m going to keep doing everything I would normally do until my body tells me otherwise.’

Kellie said Shane was a healthy active young man when diagnosed, and that younger people are getting diagnosed with aggressive cancers and early detection is the key.

“Rare Cancers Australia (RCA) support people diagnosed with these aggressive and more rare forms of cancer by providing programs that make a positive impact

on the patient and their loved ones,” Kellie said.

“RCA’s value of putting the patient first really resonated with me and having seen firsthand with Shane what this horrendous disease does, I’m really motivated to raise not just funds but awareness about the importance of early detection.

You can support Kellie

in her Kosi Challenge by donating to her fundraising page at www.kosichallenge.com.au/fundraisers/ kelliefranken/kosi-challenge.

All money raised will go towards RCA’s patient support programs, which provide critical services for people diagnosed with rare and less common cancers and their families.

Team Rae grabs a win

By Tim Symons LAKE Jindabyne Sailing Club ran heat 18 of the 2023-24 Twilight series on the cloudy evening of Wednesday March 13.

John Baird manned the start boat while Dae and Sarah Rubin manned the rescue boat.

They set a simple windward/ return course in the very light northerly breeze of round 1 to two knots.

The start line was near the quarry mark and the course took the sailors to the peninsular mark and back. The finish line was set in the same spot as the start.

Many of the sailors were backing up after a busy weekend at the Wallagoot Lake Boat Club’s annual regatta.

Six catamarans started the Division 2 race and slowly worked to the peninsular mark.

They all jostled for positions in the very light and tricky breeze.

Alan Davis slipped to the front of the fleet and finished first, followed by Andrew Kennedy, Matt Mason, Thor and Elizabeth Slater, Doug Paterson and Andrew and Rebecca Rae. Team Rae took the win on handicap corrected times followed by Andrew K, Alan, Doug, Matt and Thor and Elizabeth.

Six Division 1 monohulls started five minutes after the cats and caught them up in the extremely light breeze. Ross Lawley retired from the race, leaving four Lasers and John and Kim Kleven on their Flying Fifteen to battle for the lead.

Elton, Ryan take out foursome champs

By BOMBALA GOLF CLUB ON Saturday at the Bombala Golf Club, there was a good field to play a stableford for Club Trophy. It was good to see junior Lakyn Tonks back on the course with his cricket over. The club hopes to see Lakyn fairly often.

His break didn’t do him any harm coming in the winner on 36 points from Wayne Elton 35 points, Neil Thompson 35 points and Darren Forrester 32 points on a countback from Glen Hampshire.

These players were the ball winners. Golden shot was won by Ray Fermor.

On Sunday, members played their foursomes championships over 27 holes. From the sad stories as players came into the club the name ‘fearsomes championships’ was certainly the case.

One pair started their day running up a nine on the first hole (wouldn’t you feel like heading back to the club), then another pair ran up a nine on the second. Another nine was scored on hole 18.

There was daylight between the winners and runners-up for the scratch winners.

The foursomes champions for 2024 are Korie Elton and Nick Ryan with the very good score of 117 from Brendan Weston and Wayne Elton 127.

Handicap champions are father and son combination Mark and Lakyn Tonks 114 nett.

Runners-up were Glen Hampshire and Neil Thompson 115 ¼ Nett and Brendan Weston and Wayne Elton 115 ¾ nett.

Cooma Athletes finish season in style THE Cooma Athletics Club has finished its season in fine fashion with the last competition day attracting one of its largest turnouts.

The foggy start to the day meant the highly anticipated high jump and hurdle events were delayed while the grass dried out but it was definitely worth the wait as three records were broken across these events.

In the under 11 girls 80 metre hurdles, Tatum Sky set a new benchmark of 17.85s. Tyler Reid in the under 16 girls 90m hurdles broke her own record with a new time of 17.06.

James Jeffreys in the under eight boys claimed the high jump record, setting a height of 95cm.

Across the final day of the season on Saturday March

9, 20 personal bests were recorded. Alaska Baker in the under six, 60m hurdles, finished in 20.32s. Livinia McPhie in the under sevens long jump recorded 1.48m.

Lucia Rose Caffarelli in the under seven, 60m mini hurdles, set a new PB of 18.80, while in the under eight high jump Willow Brazulaitis recorded a high jump of 70cm.

ATHLETICS: James Jeffreys enjoys a great day at the Cooma Athletics Club.

Bowen Fitzgerald threw the discus 12.31 for a new best in the under nines. Joe Lloyd was quick in the 60m hurdles, finishing with a time of 18.25 in the under 10s race.

Two further PBs were set in the under 10s when Ashton Smith threw the vortex 29.60m and Charlie Redden dashed around the 800m course in 3:35.19.

Three new PBs came in the under 11s as Luna Nassar set her triple jump benchmark at 5.91m. Emily Payne ran the 200m in a speedy 33.96 and Emilo Brazulaitis threw the discus 20.46m.

Georgina Jeffreys in the under 12s triple jump registered 6.69m, while Gilbert Cay jumped 7.73m.

Tight tussels produce grand final rematch Dalgety play first finals series since 2015

By LUKE TREADWELL THE MONARO District Cricket Assoication A-Grade competition saw two semifinals played over the weekend with close results between the top four sides.

Rhythm batted first on a good day for cricket with John Connors oval in good condition.

Rhythm’s Aqib Abassi started well playing a more controlled innings than he had done throughout the year. The key wicket of Craig Willsmer in the fourth over brought Luke Treadwell to the crease who saw off the opening spells of Luke Saare and Simon Partell before a mix up in the middle caused a run out.

A few overs later Abassi fell LBW to the bowling of Liam Robinson and wickets regularly fell from there. Inidu Nemasha top scored for Rhythm with an excellent innings scoring 39 runs to all parts of the ground.

Five ducks filled the lower order and Rhythm were all out for 91 after 29 overs.

Chad Stevens bowled well picking up 5/8 off his seven overs.

Jindabyne started well under the watchful eyes of David Oxley and Archie

Bachus 0/29 after nine overs. In the tenth over things took a turn with Abassi claiming the wicket of Oxley for 14. In the next over Kel McNab produced some excellent cricket removing Lucas Rixon for 1, and Dave Tickell for 0, in as many deliveries.

McNab continued to bowl well producing the best eight overs he has all year claiming another important wicket of Bachus for 13 finishing with figures of 3/14 off eight overs.

Issac Dawson batted well for 16 before he fell to the spin of Nemasha, the score 5/55 37 runs required for victory. With still work to do Jindabyne lent on the steady experienced hands of Callan Andrews 17* and Simon Partell 20* who guided the Tigers home and into another grand final.

A thrilling contest played out in the second semi with Coffey’s Hotel and Dalgety finishing their encounter with a tie.

Players and spectators form both sides, some with decades’ of cricket under their belts, described the match as one of the best they have seen.

In a tense finish, Dalgety chasing 146 for victory,

required two off the last ball of the match to progress through the grand final.

John Stanford had the unenviable task for Dalgety to strike the winning runs while Coffey’s fortunes were in the hands of bowler James Ewart. Stanford was struck on the pad with the ball ballooning out to cover, where Coffey’s captain Nick Moon stopped a second run.

Dalgety and Coffey’s both finished on 145-runs for a rare tie. Coffey’s will feature in the Monaro cricket grand final through finishing the

season higher on the ladder, as minor premiers.

Dalgety’s first finals appearance since in 2015 will be one to remember despite the loss with many of their younger players showing their class.

Batting first, Coffey’s top order fell to Aaron Fenton who collected three wickets. With Coffey’s in trouble at 4/20, Moon and Nathan Thompson batted for the majority of the innings to take their side to 100 before Thompson was run out for 44.

Moon anchored the innings well, finishing on 54 as Coffey’s posted 145.

In their run chase, Dalgety got off to a cautious start through patient batting from Kale Ross and Ned Williams. Kye Harrison trapped Ross in front before Steve Summerville picked up Iain Elliot and Williams in a brilliant spell of 3/22 off eight overs.

Damien Roach bowled with great control as did Harrison. Simon Freebody lifted the scoring while

World’s best tackle mountains THE Australian Alpine Ascent returned to the Snowy Mountains on Saturday March 16 with some of the world’s best athletes in action.

Now in its ninth year, AAA featured four exciting events for the active minded adventurer, and this year saw the return of the bi-annual AAA extreme and standard triathlons, with the former regarded as the world’s toughest daylight triathlon.

Australian Alpine Ascent is one of the only trails runs in Australia that consists of a combined 91 percent trail and track (80k). Coupled with incredible views, challenging undulating mountains and the opportunity to earn International Trail Running Association (ITRA) points on each distance, Australian Alpine Ascent has become a staple on many trail runners’ calendars. The event boasts three ultra trail distances: 80km (3 ITRA points), 59km (2 ITRA points) and 25km (1 ITRA point), plus a free 2.3km ‘TinyTrails’ fun run to occupy the little ones while Mum or Dad is out tackling the big trails.

“The AAA ultra trail runs are a looped, which distinguished from an out-andback run, means there are no parts of the course that are repeated, so there is always fresh scenery along the course,” Hew Colless, the Marketing and Communica-

tions Manager for Elite Energy, the event organiser, said.

Mr Colless said the event attracted close to 600 participants plus family and friends, which delivered an economic boost for the Snowy Mountains region.

The AAA extreme triathlon has been dubbed “the world’s toughest daylight triathlon”, as it presents an alpine extreme multisport challenge likening it to the Norseman triathlon held in Norway.

Where the latter starts and finishes in the dark, AAA did not, however both events are point-to-point.

AAA extreme triathlon saw hardcore triathletes swim 3km in the tranquil Lake Jindabyne, then mount their bikes for an exhilarating 113km ride at 900m altitude through to Dead Horse Gap, and on to an elevation of 1,755m at Charlotte Pass.

Through T2 and out the other side, spectators were able

to witness these incredible athletes run the Kosciuszko trails all the way to the top of Australia - peaking at 2,228m on the summit of Mt Kosciuszko, before making their 11km descent to finish at Charlotte Pass Village.

“For all the suffering athletes had to endure, the courses were nothing short of spectacular,” he said.

The event attracted some of the world’s greatest endurance athletes.

“It’s not just about distance, it’s about altitude, it’s about unpredictable weather, it’s about hills (big hills),” he said.

“No matter whether athletes chose the extreme or standard triathlon, or one of the three ultra trail runs, the courses will be a test of sheer strength, fitness, endurance and at times their courage.”

A strong contingent of locals cheered on the athletes for the AAA.

Monaro stars in form

By LUKE TREADWELL MONARO’S Tarsha Gale Cup contingent has been hard at work over the first six rounds for the Canberra Raiders.

Each of the five local talents have had minutes throughout the season as well as some positional changes as the young athletes find their feet.

Most recently in round six, the Raiders downed the Panthers 32-8 which was a fantastic result as the Panthers were inside the top eight on the ladder.

The Raiders moved into seventh spot after the win.

Heidi Brownlie from Bombala started the year in the centres when playing the Knights in round one before making a shift to the second row in round five against the West Tigers.

Brownlie appears to have a big motor having started in the second row with no record of being interchanged in both rounds four and five.

Grace Maxwell from Cooma has been a consistent resource named to start in every match this year, most recently shifting to lock from the second row in round six.

SMOOTH RUN: Captain India Dyball will lead her Tarsha Gale Cup Raiders through the remaining Tarsha Gale competition.

Paige Jardine from Cooma played the first three rounds of competition before injuring her shoulder in the 40th minute in the Raiders 16-10 win over the Sharks.

Bridie Hampshire from Bombala was rewarded with selection in round six on the interchange bench running on in the 49th minute for some well-earned match time.

India Dyball has led from the front this season, starting each game as captain in 2024.

The Raiders have the Eels, Dragons and Rabbitohs to come in their final three rounds of regular competition. The Eels are currently tenth, the Dragons last, and the Rabbitohs eleventh presenting a great run home.
