Work starts on new Bombala visitors centre

Work has begun on a new Visitors Information Centre (VIC) for Bombala, with cement to be poured for the site this week.

The new centre is being built directly adjacent to the existing VIC, which will return to its former use as a local museum and Lavender House.

The old building will include a room featuring both Lions and Apex Club memorabilia, while other spaces will be dedicated to the local lavender industry and a railway display to acknowledge its place within Railway Park.

There will also be a room fitted with period furniture to show how it would have looked during the time that Mary MacKillop stayed in the

building when it was a convent.

Meanwhile, in the new centre there will also be historic memorabilia, including old equipment used in both the agriculture and timber industries.

Of particular interest will be an old working shearing stand, which is being brought back into condition

by Harry Peadon of the Historic Engine and Machinery Society.

The building will also feature a small gallery which will showcase work from local artists, including those associated with the Bristle Brush Arts group.

Of course the new centre will house the current visitor information services, and a wider variety of local products and merchandise will

be available for sale to locals and visitors alike.

With the Historic Engine and Machinery Society also having a Heritage Impact Study completed to undertake extensions to its own facility on Railway Park, the precinct is developing into an ever improving attraction for tourists.

with information about the area, the three officers also assist local event organisers and are involved in the organisation of holiday workshops, Fireside Chats and ArtEscape weekends.

With the new VIC going up and changes planned for the old building, Sandy, Tanya and Kylie are also each involved in getting interpretative information together for various displays.

New staff In further exciting news for the VIC there are three new faces to be found working from the facility, with Sandy Lewis, Tanya Ingram and Kylie Simpson now sharing the role of Project Tourism Officer.

As well as providing visitors

No signs on power poles Essential Energy is reminding political candidates and campaign workers that attaching signs or posters to power poles in the lead up to the 2016 Federal Election is dangerous and against the law.

Regional manager southern, Steven Ilitch, said the activity posed a serious safety risk and was in breach of the Electricity Supply Act and the Graffiti Control Act. “Access to the electricity network and the display of visual advertising are matters regulated by law,� Mr Illitch said. “There are strict safety procedures in place for authorised employees or contractors to access or work near the electricity network, including maintaining safe clearances, wearing personal protective equipment and using insulating barriers.�

Essential Energy warned that any unauthorised contact, or near contact, with the electricity network could result in serious injury or even death. “People attempting to place posters on poles, streetlight columns, groundbased substations or other network infrastructure risk coming into contact with electrical current, with potentially fatal consequences,� he said.

Last year Essential Energy, Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy safely removed 599 election posters that had been attached illegally to power poles. “Where posters pose a danger, Essential Energy will remove them immediately,� Steven said. Essential Energy encourages the public to report any unsafe activity around the electricity network on 13 20 80.

REGIONAL COUNCIL COMMITTEES New local representation committees announced Snowy Monaro Regional Council Administrator, Dean Lynch, has announced the appointment of representatives for three new Local Representation Committees.

Speaking in Bombala, on Wednesday May 25, at the first meeting of Snowy Monaro Regional Council, Administrator Dean Lynch said he was delighted with the appointments that had been made in consultation with member for Monaro and Minister for Regional Development, Hon John Barilaro MP, and Minister for Local Government, Hon Paul Toole.

It was agreed that each Local Representation Committee should be made up of four members, from the three former local government areas. Each committee would be the voice of the community, channelling local issues into the wider organisation and providing the administrator with advice on matters affecting their local community.

The chairs of Local Representation Committees will form the Council’s new Implementation Advisory Panel.

The local committee members, resolved by Council, are:

Bombala Representation Committee Steve Goodyer Di Hampshire Paul Perkins Gabrielle Rea

Cooma Local Representation Committee Rogan Corbett Angela Ingram Craig Mitchell Winston Phillips

Snowy River Local Representation Committee John Cahill Peter Beer John Shumack Bob Frost Administrator Lynch said the region has been well served by its former councils and their respective councillors. Now, a number of former councillors plus nominated community-minded individuals will form the three high calibre Local

Advisory Committees to assist in charting a course for the future. “I would like to personally and sincerely thank those who served their terms in the former councils and congratulate those who have been appointed to the new Local Advisory Committees. Their positivity and preparedness in giving another eighteen months of service to their local community is very much appreciated. I also wish to express my gratitude to the other new community representatives for being prepared to give their time for the benefit of their region,� Mr Lynch said. “I’m really excited to start working with our new Local Representative Committees and to start driving our new Council forward to achieve the significant outcomes that will be very beneficial to our wider community,� he added.

Snowy Monaro Regional Council is an amalgamation of Bombala Shire Council, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council and Snowy River Shire Council through proclamation of the New South Wales Government on Thursday 12 May 2016. Former Cooma-Monaro Mayor, Dean Lynch, has been appointed Administrator with former General Manager of Snowy River Shire, Joseph Vescio, appointed Interim General Manager.

It is business as usual for council employees and the general community as there are no significant changes to council services. Also, at the inaugural Snowy Monaro Regional Council meeting, the administrator reaffirmed the continuance of existing community committees throughout the new council area.

Council contact details remain unchanged with existing websites continuing until a new integrated digital platform is established.

Counter Move- Sydney Dance Company Written by Emma Rae and Emmie Phillips In April a group of dance students from the Monaro region attended a workshop organised by the Tim Draxl Performing Arts Fund. After a very fun and highly energetic day a few dancers were selected to experience the wonders of Counter Move, a performance by Sydney Dance Company. The performance was in two parts, ‘Cacti’ choreographed by Alexander Ekman and ‘Lux Tenebris’ choreographed by Rafael Bonachela.

Both were contemporary pieces and very different from each other.

‘Cacti’ incorporated sound with movement and the use of interesting props such as large blocks and cacti.

Voiceovers were played to give the audience an insight into the dancers thoughts and feelings whilst performing.

A duo section showed humour with performers interacting playfully with very intricate moves by throwing, catching and dropping each other’s body parts.

Voiceovers accompanied the dancers to express what might be being said. For example a female voiceover would say, ‘Don’t drop me, don’t drop me’, the male replying, ‘I wont, I wont, whoops dropped you’.

This performance was light and humourous and had the audience in hysterics all the way through.

‘Lux Tenebris’ was a more intense, dark and deep performance. It didn’t include any props but instead used flickering lights to set the mood.

The choreographers depicted that light and dark are two different worlds but can be

emotionally connected to each other. Although the costuming was very elementary, the lighting compensated for that simplicity. The variety in lighting included the sizing, colour and brightness of the bulbs. Overall the performance had a very industrial feel from the lighting and costuming to the outstanding dancers themselves.

The Sydney Dance Company performed two passionate, dynamic and inspiring pieces.

To young dancers like us aspiring to dance alongside such inspiring, talented performers would be a dream come true. We would like to thank Tim Draxl, the Tim Draxl Performing Arts Fund and Rafael Boachela for the opportunity to experience such an amazing performance.

Winter road closures Essential road works mean the Cabramurra to Khancoban Road, also known as KNP5, which is seasonally closed each year between the June long weekend and the October long weekend, will be closed three days early from June 10.

National Parks and Wildlife Service regional manager Mick Pettitt said that due to essential road works the annual closure has been brought forward.

Mr Pettitt apologised for bringing forward the closure however, it was felt that to leave the road open during the works would result in excessive travel delays of up to two hours. “These works finalise the major stabilisation

that has been undertaken over the last few months and will include installation of guard rail and safety barriers,” Mr Pettitt said. “The road is closed annually during winter to protect from damage and also as a safety precaution given the possible extreme weather conditions during winter,” he said. The closure will take effect from 10am Friday June 10 and reopening at 3pm Monday October 3, snow conditions permitting.

The alternate route is via the Elliott way and motorists are reminded to allow extra travel time. People can check the Live Traffic web site for details on road conditions.

Illegal shooting, drugs A 25-year-old male was taken to Cooma hospital with a laceration to the head and neck injuries after rolling a vehicle on the Monaro Highway near Ando. The Victorian man was heading towards Bombala at 3pm on Friday 27 May when it is believed he fell asleep while following a truck. The vehicle rolled a number of times before landing on its wheels. Police are still investigating the incident.

Police are also investigating illegal shooting after receiving a report from a property owner on Ironmungie Road, Dalgety. The alleged shoot took place some time between 9am and 11am on Saturday May 28. Police attended the property but could not locate the persons responsible. Police would like to issue a reminder that you must first receive permission from a property owner before shooting on their land.

Failure to do so could result in charges of trespassing. Police would also like to remind the public that as a protected species, it is illegal to shoot kangaroos without a permit. If anyone is experiencing similar problems with

illegal shooting, contact police.

Dollars for Cooma CBD upgrade Member for Eden-Monaro, Peter Hendy yesterday announced that a re-elected Turnbull Liberal Team will deliver $400,000 for an enhancement project of the Cooma town centre.

Dr Hendy announced the commitment during a visit to Cooma.

“This new funding builds on the Turnbull Liberal Team’s plan for jobs, growth and better infrastructure,” Dr Hendy said.

“The Turnbull Liberal Team will invest in Cooma’s town centre and entrance gateways to upgrade the landscape, environment and provide an enhanced built environment.”

“These works will deliver

new pedestrian facilities and an improved environment along Sharp Street, providing a better experience for residents and tourists to the area,” Dr Hendy said.

“The project will also invest in new entrance gateways on the Monaro Highway (Bombala) and Snowy Mountains Highway (Jindabyne) entrances to Cooma.”

Dr Hendy said that the project would improve tourist experiences of Cooma and boost local jobs and growth.

“By providing a better local experience for residents and tourists, it will encourage the growth of tourism and businesses

in the area – boosting jobs and growth.”

“We have a strong local plan for jobs and growth in Cooma by upgrading the town centre, lowering taxes for small businesses, investing across the region in five new mobile phone towers and making the NBN a reality in Cooma in 2017,” Dr Hendy said.

Pictured, Dr Hendy with Snowy Monaro Regional Council administrator Dean Lynch and Director of Community and Environment Dennis Trezise at the announcement of the funding yesterday.

At 10pm on Wednesday May 25, a 29-year-old Sydney male driver was pulled over by police for a random breath test. After speaking with the driver, police became suspicious and subsequently conducted a search of the vehicle at the intersection of Kosciuszko Road and Kalkite Street.

As a result, police discovered an amount of cannabis and an amount of cash in the vehicle. The man was arrested for drug offences and taken to Jindabyne police station. He will appear in Cooma Local Court at a date to be fixed.

Homes to be numbered Street numbers are about to be allocated in the small towns surrounding Bombala, with Bibbenluke, Cathcart, Craigie and Delegate set to be numbered.

Cathcart and Craigie have no true existing system, while just a few houses in Bibbenluke have numbers, with the number seven appearing three times in one street!

Delegate is a little more complicated as it already has a numbering system, but new numbers need to be allocated, and in a few cases, street names may also need to be changed.

With this in mind, an “open house” afternoon will be held in Delegate

Cash in with Australian Coin Collectors Council Catch Up Snowy Monaro Regional Council held our first meeting as a council at the Bombala Council Chambers on Wednesday 25 May 2016. Many arrived for the public forum and to listen to the first plans that were to be made for the region. Overall, it was a success and we have many new considerations and strategic directions to proceed with.

I am very pleased to declare that at the Council meeting I announced the membership of the newly established Local Representation Committees. This model includes active community members that will represent the three former local government areas. I believe the formation of these committees will provide a window of opportunity to promote our region and present opportunities for each of their areas by being an integral link between the community and the council. These committees will have the ability to raise issues with me and we will work with each other to provide the best services for you – we really be will stronger together and better together.

I will be meeting with these committee members in the near future to set the scene and discuss how we will move forward and to brainstorm some objectives that they believe are imperative to their areas.

Further, I conducted a citizenship ceremony for two residents Hannah Steward and Samuel Watling, both from the United Kingdom, who were very pleased and proud to become Australian Citizens and members of the community. It is great to see our vast history of multiculturalism continue in the area as we are continually welcoming people into our communities from all over the world. I would like to give a warm welcome to those entering our region in this time of significant change.

Dawn has been a coin collector for almost 40 years. From Walla Walla, she and her friend George, who is from Holbrook and has also been collecting for many years, hold a coin collectors stall at the Albury markets every Sunday. With people travelling from all over the country to visit the stall, Dawn says they now need three people to operate it and have their regulars lining up before they have even opened at 7am.

Dawn and George are travelling to Cooma to buy and sell rare coins in the

region. They will be setting up at the Cooma Ex Services Club from midday on Monday June 6, and at the Snow Goose Hotel in Adaminaby from 10am on Tuesday June 7.

“We are interested in any silver or gold coins,” says Dawn, “Our reputation is very important to us and we pride ourselves on determining the right price for our customers. We don’t mark up our prices too much, which is why we have so many people come to see us at the markets.”

If you have any old coins, Dawn says that

they are happy to just value them for you as well; you don’t have to sell them.

George’s speciality is older coins, whereas Dawn is mainly interested in modern coins and notes as well.

If you have some old coins lying around, why not bring them along. You never know how much they may be worth. An example is the old round 50-cent pieces. To make up an ounce, you need three of the old coins and Dawn says this could get you about $7 for each of them.

Mr Fluffy forums continue in region Residents of southern NSW are strongly encouraged to attend a continuing series of community forums about loose-fill asbestos and the NSW Government’s Voluntary Purchase and Demolition Program.

With the registration deadline for free sample testing fast approaching, NSW Fair Trading Commissioner Rod Stowe said homeowners should participate in the Program while assistance was being offered.

“I urge those with homes built before 1980 to register and sign up for the Program because they may be eligible for assistance if affected,” Mr Stowe said.

“Homeowners only have until August 1 this year to register – that’s less than three months away – and we don’t want anyone left behind.”

Twenty-eight local government areas (LGAs) have been identified as being affected by loose-fill asbestos, many of them in the state’s south.

Mr Stowe said the NSW Government was determined to locate and eradicate loose-fill asbestos from all affected properties.

“These forums are fundamental in engaging the community, dealing with the loose-fill asbestos problem head-on and

ensuring people know what assistance is available to them before making a decision about the future of their properties.

“We are providing safety, certainty and support to residents in the region and ensuring there is an enduring solution to the loose-fill asbestos problem in New South Wales,” Mr Stowe said.

Loose-fill asbestos was used as insulation in NSW homes during the 1960s and 70s and the NSW Government has determined that demolition, comprehensive site remediation and disposal are the best ways to ensure the health and safety of the NSW community.

The NSW Government is proposing new laws to protect future homeowners from unknowingly purchasing a property that contains loose-fill asbestos.

Under these laws, when selling a property, homeowners must confirm in the contract of sale if the property: · contains loose-fill asbestos; or · is free of loose-fill asbestos.

If homeowners do not comply with these laws they risk significant financial loss and potential legal action.

Community forums will be held in the following LGAs:

Suggested SMEC legacy for Cooma YOUR LOCAL INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE MONARO, BOMBALA AND SNOWY MOUNTAINS REGIONS Check out our page now by following the links from our website

www.monaropost.com.au Like our posts, tell your friends and leave a comment.

As the Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation has announced the closure of its Cooma office in December, community members are keen for the corporation to leave Cooma some legacy of its history here.

Announcing the office closure, SMEC said it “would like to continue to support the local community, and is currently looking into various options to continue their support of Cooma, and the broader Snowy Mountains Region”.

One of those community groups is the Cooma and Monaro Progress Association.

Its president, Dugald Mitchell OAM, told The Monaro Post “The Cooma and Monaro

Progress Association has been looking at the departure of SMEC from Cooma, and the future of its assets in Cooma.

“We note that SMEC has stated publicly that “SMEC would like to continue to support the local community, and is currently looking into various options to continue their support of Cooma, and the broader Snowy Mountains Region” “The suggestion that the CMPA likes best is that SMEC be asked to give to the people of Cooma the Hydraulic Hall and surrounding land separate from the rest of the SMEC buildings and property.

“The building and grounds could then be looked after and maintained along

the same lines as the Raglan Gallery successfully operates, or it could be set up as a trust away from the Shire.

“We have approached both the Presidents of both Rotary and the Historical Society, and both are very keen on the idea. We have not got a local museum and we need one, and a tourist point where the ‘grey nomads’ can park their trucks and caravans.

“A fascinating heritage building would be saved, one of the only two Hydraulic Halls in NSW, and we would have a wonderful tourist attraction - a historical building used by both the SMA and SMEC”.

First meeting of new council included police escort The first meeting of the Snowy Monaro Regional Council was held in Bombala last Wednesday, March 25 with Police guarding the door.

The officers of the Monaro Local Area Command were there solely to prevent one Nimmitabel resident attending, based on previous complaints of breaches of the peace and intimidating councillors.

The matter was separate to that of the controversial council merger, but many believed that the move was further evidence of the undemocratic process surrounding the amalgamation.

While numerous members of the community gathered to attend the public forum of the meeting, there was confusion over starting times and many were turned away, being told that the forum had already begun.

Those who had arrived early were

permitted entry into the council chambers, but only a small number were able to fit into the room, which already seated many council staff. The majority of the public remained in the foyer.

The public forum itself was just 30 minutes long, during which time registered speakers presented Administrator Dean Lynch with a number of questions.

A clear concern was whether the money which the former Bombala Council held in reserve - over $10million - would be spent on much needed infrastructure and services in the Bombala district. No solid assurances could be given by the Administrator at the meeting.

Other questions concerned representation and how the new Advisory Committees would work, with the Administrator naming the 12 members of the advisory groups; four representatives

from each of the former council areas.

With the time slot allowing for little discussion in the public forum, the Administrator quickly moved onto the council meeting itself, dealing with 43 items of business from the 377 page business paper within half an hour.

In a highlight, Mr Lynch announced a $1million fund open to community groups for local projects, with grant applications to be submitted within six weeks.

Many of the public left disheartened by the way the first council meeting was conducted, with well known anti-merger crusader, Penelope Judge getting little satisfaction from the questions she asked on the night. “The questions from the public were aired but not discussed or debated, only met with vague assurances. Nowhere in the new structure of council is there any

indication that these questions have to be considered,� Mrs Judge said.

Another member of the community said that following the meeting they felt “sceptical about how the new Council can operate at all, let alone in a democratic and effective fashion�.

Of course even those who are strongly opposed to the merger were gratified to see four local representatives named on the Advisory Committee, the bulk of whom have openly disparaged the amalgamation process at some point.

It was thought that those who were not in full support of the merger would not be selected, so there is fresh hope that the Advisory Committees are in a position to be transparent and to genuinely represent their communities as they advise the Administrator over the next 16 months.

Auxiliary donates new clock

CLASSIFIEDS - TUESDAY 12 NOON

The Cooma Hospital Auxiliary has donated a new clock in an attempt to help patients with cognitive and thinking issues remain oriented.

It displays the time, day and date and is hung so that patients can see it from their beds.

The clock is located in room 4, which due to its close proximity to the nurses station, houses patients with cognitive issues and those at risk of falls.

The clock cost about $300 with the funding coming from a Country Women’s Association fundraiser.

The Auxiliary will also be donating CD players to assist dementia patients as part of the ‘Music and Memory’ program.

Community health nurse Kirsty Herbert is pictured with Cooma Hospital Auxiliary president Bob Weston and the new clock.

Community champions receive Service Awards Forty of the Monaro’s finest volunteers have been recognised for their contribution to the community at a special ceremony held in Queanbeyan and Cooma, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said today.

The recipients from Queanbeyan, Cooma, Bungendore, Bombala, Braidwood, Delegate, Berridale, Nimmitabel and Jindabyne were honoured with Monaro Service Awards for their outstanding contribution to the community in areas such as the arts, environment, education, health, sport, heritage and pastoral care.

“Today we recognise individuals who quietly

make a difference in our community,” said Mr Barilaro.

“These people go above and beyond the definition of their role with little recognition to make the community they live in a better place.

“The Monaro Service Award is a small way of thanking volunteers for what they do. Today’s entire award recipients are dedicated to their calling and make a difference to the local community; I congratulate and thank them for their efforts.”

The many exhibitions have featured painting, textiles, ceramics, woodwork, photography, jewellery, and every type of artwork. The items in the gallery are generally for sale. Sales work on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;see, pay, takeâ&#x20AC;? basis which means they can be taken at time of purchase.

With the increase in visitors to the gallery due to more tourists passing through our small village, we have seen sales increase markedly.

Visitors remark that the quality of the items and the fact that they are all locally made is a unique

feature of the gallery.

The next exhibition in the gallery will be changed over in the week beginning June 21st. The official opening will be on Saturday 25th June at 2pm.

The exhibition will be entitled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Monaro Winter Bluesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. If you are a local artist in any of the abovementioned mediums we would be happy to exhibit your work. The work does not have to reflect the theme but if you have some winter type items we would love to see them.

Business calls on political leaders to build a more competitive Australia Together with the Australian Chamber and State and Territory Chambers of Commerce, the NSW Business Chamber has launched its Top 10 in 10 2016 Federal Election campaign, which calls on all parties to commit to a practical plan to build a more competitive Australia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While other nations are embracing policies to make starting and growing a business easier, our political leaders seem unwilling to commit to sensible reforms that would allow us to compete in the global marketplace,â&#x20AC;? said NSW Business Chamber CEO Stephen Cartwright. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that it is unacceptable that, over the past decade, Australia has fallen from 10th to 21st on the Global Competitiveness Index, with our biggest weaknesses being matters that were once our biggest strengths - innovation, tax and workplace relations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In practical terms, this means less investment, fewer jobs and missed opportunities for small and medium-sized Australian businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This election, harnessing the strength of the united Chamber movement, we are asking all parties to commit to our plan to build a more competitive Australia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to ensure that our standard of living continues to rise as we move beyond the mining boom, with small and

medium-sized businesses given the opportunity to grow and employ more Australians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The national Chamber movement is asking all political parties to commit to 10 practical steps to make Australia a better place to do business, and to re-gain our top 10 ranking in the Global Competitiveness Index within the next 10 years.

Ten steps towards a more competitive Australia: 1) Give young people a chance to succeed by making it easier for employers to take on apprentices and trainees 2) Ensure government spending is sustainable by reducing it to less than 25 per cent of GDP 3) Help industries grow through workplace regulation that better responds to their needs 4) Let entrepreneurs get on with growing their businesses by reducing government red tape each year 5) Create jobs by allowing employers and employees to negotiate workplace arrangements that best meet their needs 6) Boost incomes by cutting the company tax rate to 25 per cent through a 0.5 per cent reduction each year for a decade 7) Build the transport, communications and energy facilities we need by backing the plan of the independent Infrastructure Australia 8) Lower building costs by bringing back and retaining the

Australian Building and Construction Commission 9) Encourage innovation and value for money by facilitating greater competition in government-funded education, health and aged care services 10) Welcome more international visitors by making visas cheaper and easier to obtain â&#x20AC;&#x153;Australia is primarily a small and medium business economy, and creating an operating environment that helps these businesses succeed is in everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest. When businesses thrive, they create new jobs which support our growing communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Top 10 in 10 builds on the momentum of the national Chamber movementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredibly successful Small Business: Too Big to Ignore campaign which was launched prior to the last Federal election, and it reminds our political leaders that small business cannot be taken for granted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whichever party forms government after the election on July 2nd has the opportunity to make Australia a better place to do business. Top 10 in 10 is a clear blueprint for reform with practical and achievable steps that can be taken straight after the election to make Australia competitive again,â&#x20AC;?

Stephen Cartwright said.

Monaro Dance Centre Fundraiser The 17th annual fundraiser held by the Monaro Dance Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bombala Studio, under the direction of Studio Coordinator Chloe Hope, provided great entertainment for all those who attended.

It is estimated there were over 200 people that came out on Friday night to support the local talent and raise money for the Southern Monaro Community Fund.

Dance students took to the stage with performances in jazz, tap, ballet, and contemporary.

Mackenzie Phillips, a senior student of Monaro Dance Centre, welcomed the audience and presented a short history of fundraising activities undertaken by MDC in Bombala.

Jessica Herron then went on to thank the community for their ongoing support of the fundraisers.

The students wowed the audience with performances such as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wake Me Up Before You Goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by the Junior Tap, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dancing Busâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by PreSchool Dance, and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Way to Goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Intermediate

Jazz Students.

The audience and students were kept entertained with DJ Matt Brown spinning up some great tunes and bringing everyone onto the dancefloor for a groove after the concert. This was Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14th year as the DJ, supporting the fundraisers.

Although expenses are yet to be finalised, it is anticipated that the event raised approximately $1,200 for the Community Fund. This will bring the total of donations to the Community Fund by local Monaro Dance Centre students to over $11,500 since 2003.

Monaro Dance Centre would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supported the Dance & Disco Night and contributed to its success.

Many thanks must go to the Bombala RSL Club for the donation of the function room for

the event and Sam Tonks from The Monaro Post for coming and taking photos of the night. Chloe wanted

to thank everyone for the support of the event and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for the next fundraiser!

ADVERTORIAL

Wednesday June 1, 2016

SMGS inspires and engages local students with new programs Snowy Mountains Grammar School understands that the key to academic performance is the engagement and inspiration of students.

That is why, this year, the school has introduced its Academies of Excellence program.

The program runs in addition to the standard curriculum and offers students the opportunity to choose from a wide selection of elective choices.

They can stay with one area of study for the year or choose different subjects each term.

Principal Andrew Bell says “Research demonstrates that students across the globe are disengaging from learning and school. At SMGS, we are heading in the opposite direction and engaging students in areas where they love to learn”.

Students are currently engaged in a wide variety of programs, covering subjects as diverse as early childhood studies, digital media, engineering and innovation and design. There are a large number of arts focussed programs and specific academies for mountain-biking, aviation, equestrian and elite snow-sports performance.

Senior student Abby Mifsud is participating in the early childhood studies.

She says “I love the Academies program!

It gives me the opportunity to extend my

learning in an area of specific interest to me. I am going to study early childhood teaching at University and the program has allowed me to explore this interest before making that commitment. The program is delivered by a qualified early childhood teacher and she has really inspired me.

This is my favourite part of the week.

Director of Curriculum and Academic

Development, Dr Michael Barton says: “In giving students a wide range of choices and interesting projects to participate in, we have found that academic engagement increases enormously.

This increased engagement overflows into every classroom and not just the Academies. We continually strive to find ways to inspire and encourage our students and are delighted

with their update of and engagement in this program.

Another exciting new initiative in 2016 is the Elite Snow-sports Academy (ESA) which provides curriculum based academic support for students involved in intensive snow sports training and competition both in Australia and overseas.

Tim Bland, ESA Coordinator and Head of Sports at SMGS said “A large number of senior students engage in high intensity snow-sports training every winter. Until now, their academic progress has been impaired due to the amount of time missed from the classroom. This program is specifically designed to address that issue by combining a full training schedule with a revised classroom schedule and additional tuition, ensuring participants can maintain their academic standing while pursuing their snow-sport’s dreams. Our program is unique in that students can still participate in their specific subject lessons with specialist teachers while training on snow”.

Other elements of the ESA program include transport to and from the snow, fitness training and mentoring sessions with professional snow-sports athletes.

“Needless to say”, Tim notes, “the program has proved very popular with our current parents and with visitors to the region”.

The Monaro Community Merit Scholarship – 100% Scholarship to SMGS Snowy Mountains Grammar School (SMGS) is offering a 100% merit scholarship for a local Monaro student.

Applicants will be currently attending school in, or will live in, the Monaro, and be able to attend SMGS as a day student from the beginning of Term 3, 2016.

The selection criteria are: − Be studying in Years 7-11 − Demonstrated excellence in an area of merit (such as sports or musical performance) − Consistent academic performance The successful applicant will receive a 100% full time tuition scholarship to SMGS for the life of their enrolment.

Applications are now open and close on Friday 17th June, 2016.

For full criteria, conditions and further information on how to make an application, please visit our website at www.smgs.nsw.edu.au or contact: Joan Herringer, Registrar: joan.herringer@smgs.nsw.edu.au

Bombala Fire and Rescue NSW open day

New mobile base stations promised Areas in Eden-Monaro will receive improved mobile phone coverage if the Coalition is reelected as part of an additional $60 million commitment to extend the successful Mobile Black Spot Programme, Peter Hendy, Member for Eden-Monaro announced.

New mobile base stations in Tathra, Tumut, Bombala/Delegate, and Carwoola will bring a much-needed boost to mobile coverage, providing benefits to emergency service operators, businesses, and residents.

“The Coalition Government understands the importance of mobile coverage in regional and remote areas of Australia. That is why we are committing an additional $60 million on top of the $160 million already invested in mobile black spots, bringing the Coalition’s total investment to $220 million”, said Dr Hendy.

“We have selected these areas of the electorate because they have been overlooked by mobile network operators due to commercial factors. A re-elected Coalition government will invite mobile network operators to bid for this new funding to provide coverage in the identified locations.

“The Coalition is committed to improving mobile coverage along major transport routes, in small communities, as well as addressing unique mobile coverage problems such as areas with high seasonal demand.

“The active cooperation of the industry in the Mobile Black Spots Programme to date has been strong with 499 new or upgraded base stations covering around 3,000 black spots already rolled out under Round 1 of the Coalition Government’s programme. This includes 13 new base stations to serve Towamba, Nethercote, Numeralla, Binalong, Central Tilba, Bodalla, Mannus, Tomboye, Nerriga, Araluen, Dalgety, Avonside, and Anglers Reach.”

Minister for Regional Communications Fiona Nash said that this is the most significant increase in mobile network coverage to regional and remote Australia delivered by a single public funding programme in the history of mobile communications in Australia.

“Following the success of the Coalition’s initial $100 million investment, another $60 million funding round is already under way, with successful locations to be announced by the end of 2016. This third round of $60 million will further improve mobile coverage in Casey,” Minister Nash said.

“Despite being in Government for six years, Labor did not spend one dollar on fixing mobile black spots in regional and remote Australia.”

The Coalition’s $220 million plan to address mobile black spots will ensure regional communities across Casey have access to wider and more reliable mobile phone coverage.

It has been busy in recent times for the Bombala Fire and Rescue crew.

FRNSW Open Day recently, the launch of FRNSW new winter campaign ‘REALARM’, Bombala fire fighter working at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, a new recruit begins Phase 1 training, another completing Primary Rescue training and a training weekend invitation by SES Bendoc.

Open Day Bombala Fire Station opened the doors as part of the annual state wide Fire & Rescue NSW (FRNSW) Open Day. The Fire Fighters were on the go all day and, aided by wonderful weather and enthusiastic inquisitive local families, the event was a great success.

In 2016, FRNSW has agreed to a new two-year partnership with LEGO® City to assist in spreading fire safety messages to kids. The limited edition LEGO fire car sets where part of the giveaways on Open Day. New Brigade Kids activity booklets (and accompanying website and stickers) featuring LEGO City characters, where also available.

“Open Day enables our fire fighters to connect with the Bombala local community and provides a great opportunity to communicate important fire safety messages,” Station Commander Terry Lomas said.

“Fire safety education is an important part of Open Day.” The old siren no longer rings out to notify fire fighters of callouts, as pagers and phones messages do this job, so on Saturday it was an experience for many to hear the siren as it sounded across Bombala.

On display throughout

the fire truck was a highlight; many role playing as they sat in the driver’s seat activating the lights and sirens.

Station Commander Lomas was happy that the Open Day allowed the Bombala Fire Station to re-enforce fire safety messages on smoke alarms and home safety plans.

It was also a great opportunity also to introduce a new Fire and Rescue NSW ‘emergency+ app’ for smart phones. It allows ‘000’ to know your location in tough situations.

the day for everyone touch and try on were past and present clothing, helmets and equipment.

Turning the water hose on is always enjoyable for the kids, while for others climbing aboard

For any information concerning Fire Safety please check out www.fire.nsw.gov.au or visit HomeFireSafetyAudit. com.au New recruit and other happenings The Bombala Fire Station would like to welcome Mal Stone to Fire and Rescue NSW. Mal has just commenced his Phase 1 training over the past week. This is a challenging but enjoyable four days, which is

Local families made the most of the recent Bombala Fire & Rescue NSW Open Day.

Mick Lomas retires Water main replacement project The Water Main Replacement Project being undertaken in Adaminaby, Berridale and Dalgety will commence from Wednesday 1 June 2016 and is estimated to be completed by the end of September 2016.

The works are being carried out by Benex Pipelines, whose staff will be replacing the water mains and service connections in the designated streets and will need to drill under or trench across existing driveways and roads and also access

properties to make new connections to the existing water meter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The contractor, Benex Pipelines, will contact residents one week prior, to explain any road closures that may be necessary and one day prior, for any works being carried out on individual properties, explained Interim General Manager, Joseph Vescio.

Project contacts are David Bencic (Benex Pipelines) (02) 6299 6527 or Grant Holmes (SMRC) on 0418 672 523.

Adaminaby landfill upate Mick Lomas has finished up with Bombala Electrical after 45 years.

After 45 years of installing antennas, fixing appliances and putting in heaters, Mick Lomas of Bombala has hung up his screwdriver!

Now known as a Whitegoods Technician, Mick has been a valuable member of the team at Bombala Electrical for over four decades, with much of his work in the early days revolving around televisions and installing antennas and boosters in the area.

Over the years he has proved a jack-of-all-trades, taking on everything from repairing toasters and kettles to installing dishwashers and wood heaters.

This has brought Mick into the homes and onto the roofs of countless local families, and his current employers say he will be

greatly missed in the role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already had customers say they will miss him, and that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been coming round to their place for years to fix or install things,â&#x20AC;? Bombala Electricalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elsie Wertenbach said.

Elsie added that those who felt they still needed Mick to assist them with repairs could access his contact details through the store.

In his 45 years of repairing and installing, Mick has worked with a number of well known locals, including Roy Howard, Greg Wolfe and John Adamson, but finished up with the business on May 20. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wish Micko all of the best on behalf of us here at Bombala Electrical, as well as the community,â&#x20AC;? Elsie said.

Plans for Adaminaby Landfill to be capped and revegetated have commenced, with an anticipated completion date in early 2017.

Once this project is complete the site will continue to operate as a Transfer Station. For most residents this will not affect general use of the facility.

Opening hours will remain Saturday 10am to 3pm (Closed Public Holidays).

Products that will continue to be accepted include: ¡ General Mixed Waste ¡ Recyclables ¡ Green Waste Note Mixed Building & Construction Waste will not be accepted at this facility once it is made a Transfer Station.

Waste Department staff will be available onsite at Adaminaby Landfill in June for local residents and businesses to discuss the changes.

If you would like to know more or have questions please come to one of our Q&A Sessions: When: 4th & 18th June-10am to 2pm Where: On site at Adaminaby Landfill, Old Adaminaby Road Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it to a Q&A Day but want to know more?

POST & RAIL

Wednesday June 1, 2016

the

postman calls

Okay, who turned off the heat and turned up the fan?

The Postman had great difficulty getting (and staying warm) last weekend, which is a bit crook since winter didn’t officially start until TODAY! But, a quick trip over Mt Gladstone revealed WHY… all that white stuff on the mountains provided the answer.

It’s looking good – here’s hoping for a good winter so our region can have a bit of a boost to our economy.

The Postman has had a few readers contact him about the lack of funeral notices on our local ABC radio.

Today’s letter to the editor spells out the situation as the locals see it – and they are not happy. As they see it, it is an essential service to the folks in the bush.

The LLS comes under fire too – once again, decisions made elsewhere are impacting on the local community and causing angst.

A bit of communication would go a long way to calm things down a bit.

Sorry state of affairs Editor, What a sorry series of stories of what has occurred in our district.

First, we have the councillors sacked and an administrator appointed with future benefits questionable.

Now we have the LLS (‘Local” Land Services) in the background, quietly going about restructuring with the loss of jobs and the closure of the Bombala office.

There has been no consultation with the community or the ratepayers about the restructure and the need for it. In fact there has been very little said at all by the management and none at all by the Board.

Surely as ratepayer, we should at the very least, be given information of the restructure and why our office is to close?

As it is there appears to be little transparency of where our rates are going and just how viable this organisation is.

We were told that the new LLS was the best way forward with better efficiencies and services when the LHPA was dismantled and before that the RLPB. Heard this before?

Each time the area has got bigger, supposedly more efficient but seemingly less accountable.

How is this going to be more efficient with the loss of ground staff?

What is going to happen to our fox baiting and wild dog management programs if the office here is closed? It is not going to be very convenient for people to collect baits even if the office is only open for one day or have to travel to Cooma. I would envisage the whole program being put in danger of discontinuing because of this.

Unfortunately we have had footrot in the area, so how is the footrot program going to be successful with less staff?

Are we going to get contractors in and to what cost to the ratepayers?

It is distressing enough to be affected by footrot and its ramifications without having extra costs put on the producers, over and above the costs that are incurred. I am also referring to mental health issues of the owners and their families as well as the health of the animals.

Are we going to be forced into more user payer costs and if so, why are we paying rates? If this becomes the case, it will become harder to achieve the aims of the LLS, with people unable or unwilling to pay extra costs and nobody wins. We could end up with the situation that there will be reluctance or no reporting of animal health issues, which could ultimately affect the whole community.

We have a Board of Directors, but you wouldn’t know with the lack of information from that direction. Some of them were elected by some of the ratepayers, so where do they stand?

Why haven’t we heard from them?

We had a full time staff member in the office, then she left, the office had no one for a short while. Now we have someone for only four hours in the morning. Soon there will be no one.

We need the office to continue to be open at least three days a week. The workload of the staff is enough to keep the office open. As a ratepayer seeking information, I do not want to talk to faceless people over the phone or on the computer and do not want to drive to Cooma or wherever, particularly if it is a distressing situation. Nor have to wait days for assistance either.

So, David Mitchell, Chair of the Board, why the silence on the restructure? It may be an internal issue but we are paying through our rates and we will be affected when the office closes.

While we are on the subject of losing services, let’s now look at the local ABC. In it’s so-called wisdom from management, local or otherwise, has decided to cease broadcasting the funeral announcements. This has been an invaluable service to their listening areas for many, many years.

For isolated families and communities, it was the only way you were able to obtain that information.

Not everyone has access to computers or wants to for that matter.

Not everyone is in the town at the right time to see any announcements.

Many a time others think you might and in fact don’t so this was an excellent way to hear the details.

One excuse – it disrupts their programming. I ask you, it takes less than a minute most of the time. I would imagine they have been doing it for so many years the preparation time wouldn’t take long. I would certainly prefer this service to continue, than to hear a lot of politicians waffling along and not answering their questions.

Another excuse, they were the only ABC radio station that provided the services. So what? Can’t we be unique? Do they have to be like sheep and follow the other radio stations? I bet the other rural areas would appreciate the service as well.

Aren’t they proud of this service to the community?

Is it the start of losing all our local content?

RECYCLING AUDIT

Let’s get recycling!

A bin audit of the former Snowy River council area was conducted in March/ April and the data collected showed an average contamination rate of 10% in the recycling bins, and waste bins contained 17% recyclable material.

This means that around 10% of what was put in recycling bins was non-recyclable materials while 17% of what was collected in the red waste bins was made up of recyclable materials.

This is a fairly good result showing that residents are already good at recycling, however, there is room for improvement and work to be done with regards to education.

The above picture shows the recycling collected and examined on one of the audit days at Jindabyne landfill.

How can residents continue to improve recycling rates?

• Separate the lids from bottles, containers and jars and to empty all food waste and liquid remains.

• Check the bottom of plastics for the recycling logo including meat trays. Almost all firm/flexi plastic is recyclable • Soft plastic like glad wrap and plastic bags are not recyclable and go in the red lid waste bin.

• Aluminium baking trays and aluminium foil is recyclable! (Just scrunch into a ball).

• Polystyrene and bubble wrap are not recyclable and should be put in the red lid waste bin • Cardboard and paper products are recyclable but please remove other nonrecyclable packaging products

Save the Date!

Garage Sale Trail is a people powered reuse movement made possible by local councils around the country on Saturday 22 October 2016.

It’s a great way to declutter your home, meet your neighbours, fundraise or find bargains at thousands of garage sales on one big day of selling and shopping.

TOWN AND VILLAGE STREET RENUMBERING PROJECT. Residents of Delegate are invited to an open house afternoon to discuss the proposed changes to the street numbers in Delegate. The Snowy Monaro Regional Council is proposing to renumber the streets in Delegate to remove a number of major inconsistencies in the current numbering scheme.

Council are concerned that incorrect and confusing numbering may impact on the capacity of emergency services, such as fire and ambulance, to react quickly and efficiently to emergency calls.

In order to assist the Delegate community in understanding the proposed changes and also for Council to hear what the community think of the project an “open house” is planned between 3.00 pm and 7.00pm on Tuesday

Total Project Value $65,000 $23,643

An addition to the Delegate project, the village of Bibbenluke will also have some minor changes implemented. Also as part of the Council intuitive the villages of Cathcart and Craigie will receive house numbers for the first time.

These renumbering projects follow on from the very successful Rural Addressing scheme recently rolled out across the local rural areas. For information on any of these projects please contact Grantley Ingram or Colin Green on 64583555.

WHERE THE POPPIES WENT In 2014 Monaro Regional Libraries joined the 5000Poppies Project, which began in Melbourne to mark the 100th Anniversary of ANZAC Day. People from the local Monaro community knitted, crocheted or crafted over 800 poppies for this event.

In the end, the 5000 Poppies Project received 250,000 poppies from around Australia and were displayed in

Melbourne’s Federation Square and on Princes Bridge over the 2015 ANZAC Day Commemorations.

If you were one of the many locals who donated your handmade poppies, exciting news about the whereabouts of your work now! The Chelsea Flower Show in the UK.

Mrs Marilyn Kay Turner passed away at Queanbeyan District Hospital on May 6, aged 78 years.

Kay was the third youngest in a family of five girls and two boys, Ross (dec), Cath (dec), Rhonda (dec), Peter (dec), Audrey and Cynthia, the family of Elisabeth Mary Francis (nee Doran) and George William Francis.

Kay was born in Tumut on January 13, 1938 and lived her early life at Adaminaby.

She moved with her family to Berridale, when Adaminaby was moved to its present site due to the filling of Lake Eucumbene.

She met and married Cyril Turner in October 1955 and they are blessed with three sons Chris and wife Vicki, Kerry and wife Helen and Warwick; five grandchildren, Kate, Andrew, Matilda, Melissa and James and one great grandson, Oliver.

Kay was a very level-headed and competent young woman as was evidenced in one instance by her actions while living in a rural cottage at Numbla Vale south of Dalgety, with no phone or transport and her husband away shearing.

Chris was juts a toddler and became ill, so, at just 19 years of age herself, Kay pushed her baby in his stroller across to the main road, a distance of more than a kilometre and waved down a passing motorist who took Kay and her baby to Cooma hospital.

Kay moved to Anembo near Captain’s Flat in 1968 when Cyril retired from shearing due to recurring back problems and took up a position as stock manager at “Lochlyn” Past Co and later at “Mirrabinda”.

While in the area, Kay was an active member of Queanbeyan Pony Club when the boys were riding in gymkhanas and pony club events with some success.

Kay, Cyril and family moved

back to Berridale to manage the family property “Stratford” in January 1977, which they bought in 1978.

Kay and Cyril sold Stratford during the very severe drought of 1982/83 and moved to Queanbeyan in May of 1983.

In retirement, Kay and Cyril had many great motoring holidays with Kay’s sister Cath and husband Edgar.

They travelled extensively in Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia and Tasmania.

The Tasmanian trip of 1996 almost turned to tragedy as they were at Port Arthur on the Sunday of that terrible shooting of many people.

Sad memories indeed.

Kay was quite a competent sports person, having played hockey at senior level as a school girl in Adaminaby, A Grade tennis at Berridale and in later years, lawn bowls where she was successful in winning an a Grade singles at Coolamatong and on moving to Queanbeyan Women’s Bowling Club, Kay won A Grade singles on four occasion, pairs on two occasions, triples twice and fours twice, as well as representing the ACT at State and National level on 50 occasions.

Kay had a full and rewarding life, but suffered failing health during her last few years and passed away at Queanbeyan hospital with all her family at her bedside on Friday May 6.

Kay was a devoted wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great grandmother who lived for her family and friends.

RIP, Kay.

Bombala High School Agriculture Year 9/10 students have been busy with animal husbandry activities in Agriculture classes.

Students drafted and crutched some of the merino wethers, while other students washed our new member to the Ag plot, Marley the calf.

Marley enjoyed being pampered while learning how to be led by a headstall.

Year 7 Agriculture students were able to hone some of their weed management skills while at the Bombala Hospital last week. There will be further work to take place with these students adding topsoil, fertiliser and mulch to the hospital gardens.

Budding environmental scientists head to Geoscience

Monaro High School Year 12 students Meg Poulton, Gabrielle Kerr and Mikayla Douglass (L-R) visited Geoscience in Canberra as part of their preparation for the coming HSC Examination in Earth and Environmental Science.

Last Friday, senior students from Monaro High School headed to Canberra to visit Geoscience – Australia’s geology and geography research and advisory centre. The visit formed part of the Year 12 Earth and Environmental Science program and will help consolidate the learning in class before the students sit their HSC examinations later this year.

The students were accompanied

by Earth and Environmental Science teacher Mrs Kasey Marks. “The visit to Canberra allowed the students to learn more about plate tectonics including earthquakes, siesmographs, volcanoes and the application of 3D modelling”, explained Mrs Marks.

With final exams looming the day away from the classroom was a

valuable experience for the Year 12 girls in their final year. “It was very handy to tie everything that we have learned together,” said student Mikayla Douglass. “It was fun experience.”

The students also toured the Tsunami Warning Centre and a scaled geological time walk taking them back to the Jurassic and beyond.

“The Interactive room with models of tectonic plates and rock games was fun. I also enjoyed seeing the different minerals found around Australia,” continued Miss Douglass.

The visit will help the girls put their environmental science knowledge to good use as they prepare for the Year 12 Trial examinations beginning on the 25 July and the HSC examination in October.

60th Anniversary celebration

SIR WILLIAM HUDSON

MEMORIAL CENTRE AGED CARE FACILITY

Sir William Hudson Memorial Centre is no different to any other nursing home, we love to have visitors! In the last month we have been fortunate to have had some very unusual and very special visitors.

Daisy’s Childcare Centre called in for a visit and all involved are hoping to make the trip a regular occurrence. Our residents love to see the little children playing and the joy that they experience from their shared conversations and games played is immeasurable. A big thank you to all involved in the organisation of these trips.

If you are a regular around SWHMC you would have met Hollie, and noticed the effect she has on the residents. Hollie is a Jack Russell who visits daily with Lee and Peter our maintenance guys. Hollie takes her outdoor work very seriously, she can always be seen helping out with the gardening, mowing, sitting shot gun on the quad bike. As she is becoming more active outside her presence inside has dropped and the residents have missed her company. Hollie has recruited a new apprentice “Rocky” to help her out. Rocky is a Jack Russell puppy and is already adored by all who have met him. Keep your eyes out for him and give him a big welcome.

The most amazing visitor we had this month was “Lilly” a poddy calf who visited wearing her little coat. Lilly’s owner, Monique was very impressed that Lilly behaved so perfectly and left behind no little gifts as she moved through the facility. Our residents loved to pat her and look at her gorgeous little face, a visit certainly loved by everyone. Monique, Lee and Pete are just three of our wonderful staff at SWHMC, their thoughtfulness and caring attitude for our residents to arrange for Hollie, Rocky and Lilly to visit is gratefully appreciated.

The next Support Group meeting is to held in the Boardroom Thursday June 9th at 1pm. The meetings go for an hour and are an ideal opportunity to have a conversation regarding your concerns adapting to your friend or family member becoming a resident. The meetings are conducted in a speak easy fashion, and all conversations are treated as confidential.

During May SWHMC welcomed 2 new residents and said farewell to Alfy Gammon, Olive Stanfield, and Patricia Morris.

Family and friends recently gathered to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Bombala couple, Mervyn and Shirley Rodwell.

The happy group came together at the Bombala RSL Club to mark the impressive milestone, with a delicious two course meal being shared in the auditorium.

Shirley’s brother, Tony Brownlie was the MC for the occasion, and many heartfelt speeches came from the couple’s children.

Mervyn and Shirley were married at St Mary’s Catholic Church in Bombala on May 19, 1956 at 11am. Their attendants were Allan Brownlie, Jenelle Brownlie, Joan Jones and Flatout Jones; three of whom were at the recent celebrations.

As part of the anniversary a Reaffirmation Ceremony was performed by Civil Marriage Celebrant and niece, Janelle Salway of Cobargo, while the couple’s grand daughter Keiarna Rodwell read the poem, ‘What is Love’.

Many special congratulations cards and gifts were received by Mervyn and Shirley, who were very surprised by lovely messages coming from the Prime Minister

Malcolm Turnbull, the Governor General Peter Cosgrove and even Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth!

A beautiful sponge cake made and decorated by the Bombala Bakery was cut by Mervyn and Shirley, with the cake top being the original from their wedding 60 years ago.

After a wonderful day together the celebrations continued well into the night with many laughs and “remember whens” being shared at a barbecue put on by Peter, Dianne, Mark and Belinda Rodwell at their home.

Guests travelled from Normanton, Brisbane, Henty, Canberra, Candelo, Goulburn, Cobargo, Delegate and Bombala to share the special occasion with the Rodwell family.

The couple celebrated their 60th anniversary with family and friends in Bombala.

Help the RSPCA help Maggie Meet Maggie, a beautiful Golden Labrador who came to the Cooma branch of the RSPCA from the local pound.

After desexing Maggie and doing the usual and expensive preparations for a new home, it was found that her teeth were in very poor condition and she needed dental work which would cost around $1000.

This work needs to be done before we can finalise a beautiful new home for her with a lovely young couple who have fallen in love with her.

As this amount is beyond their means at present, the branch has decided to hold a sausage sizzle and mini

cake stall outside Woolworths Supermarket on Saturday June 4.

The Cooma branch does not receive any funding of financial assistance from RSPCA NSW and rely on their own fundraising efforts and the

generosity of the community to survive and od the essential work in the Monaro region.

Please come along and support the branch by buying a sausage, some yummy home made cakes or simply giving a donation.

Heather Anoleck Dip FMBM

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

INTEREST RATES DROP! The recent drop in interest rates by the Reserve Bank is the first movement by them in a year.

There has not been a rate rise since late 2010, and there are predictions for perhaps another drop later this year.

This is good news for those with an existing mortgage, or those contemplating buying a property.

Most of the Banks have passed on the full rate cut, and while most of the standard variable rates will still be around the 5.40% mark, I have the opinion that nobody should be paying the standard variable rate with any bank.

Depending on your loan amount, most banks offer an interest discount when you take out their loan package, (an annual fee is usually applicable). For those with a smaller loan amount, it is usually more beneficial to look at a ‘basic’ loan, which has lower interest rates & fees, but doesn’t include extra features on the loan. I can help you decide which is the best option for you.

Unfortunately, if you are relying on cash investment returns to live on, it is a different story. It may be time to consider using your cash or equity, to buy an investment property, as rental returns may be a better option for you.

Whether you are looking for a new loan, or wanting to review your existing one, I am happy to provide an obligation free assessment of your situation.

For investment advice, I can also arrange a meeting with Damian Toms, Financial planner.

To arrange an appointment, please contact me on mobile: 0431 351 873

Contact Craig Schofield: 02 6452 4979 M: 0414 865 922 E: craigschofield@oneagency.com.au W: oneagency.com.au

Dry autumn start dents NSW farmer confidence

After starting the year on a high, New South Wales farmer confidence has taken a knock, impacted by dry conditions through much of autumn, the latest quarterly Rabobank Rural Confidence Survey has found.

While the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural confidence remains relatively strong, it is down from levels seen in the first quarter, where NSW farmers were the most confident in the nation.

Rabobank state manager for New South Wales â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;TJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (Tjerk-Martijn) Mulder said unseasonably warm conditions throughout much of summer and autumn were behind the more cautious outlook, however recent widespread rain in early May had alleviated some concerns by falling â&#x20AC;&#x153;just in time.â&#x20AC;?

Farmers across the state also remained upbeat about their longer-term prospects, with one in five actively looking to expand their business through property purchase over the next five years.

The latest survey, completed last month, found after rebounding strongly last quarter, NSW farmer confidence has moderated to similar levels reported in late 2015. Net confidence remains positive however, with around three-quarters of farmers expecting conditions to improve or remain similar to the last 12 months.

Overall, 30 per cent of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmers are expecting conditions to improve this year, down from 39 per cent with that view in the previous survey. While those expecting similar conditions remained relatively stable at 48 per cent (from 50 per cent).

The proportion of farmers expecting conditions to worsen doubled this quarter, to stand at 14 per cent.

Mr Mulder said it was not surprising that farmer confidence had waned in recent months, with no reprieve from dry conditions until widespread rainfall in early May â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just after the survey was conducted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After very little rain to speak of since January, farmers entered autumn on a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;knife edgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And just when most were thinking it was almost too late in the season for a break, the rains came, delivering falls of between 20 and 80 millimetres across much of the state.â&#x20AC;?

The Riverina and Central NSW recorded particularly good falls, Mr Mulder said, while rain was patchier in the north. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmers across much of northern NSW,

from Walgett through to Moree and into the Liverpool Plains region recorded falls of around 20 millimetres, which has spurred some winter crop plantings, however more rain is needed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and soon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to fulfil planting intentions in the north,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Mr Mulder said before the rain, some farmers had â&#x20AC;&#x153;taken the puntâ&#x20AC;? by dry sowing their crops, however â&#x20AC;&#x153;many were now looking to get as much in the ground as they couldâ&#x20AC;?.

While conditions had improved for the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grain growers, many beef and sheep producers had minimal feed reserves and faced the prospect of feeding stock through winter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For some, the rains have come too late for pasture growth, however with the weather remaining unseasonably warm, there will still be some benefit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but not as much as there would have been if the rains had come a few weeks earlier,â&#x20AC;? Mr Mulder said.

Reflecting this, confidence was relatively subdued amongst sheep producers (with the net confidence indicator falling to five per cent, from 33 per cent) however it remained strong amongst beef producers, off the back of continued strength in cattle markets.

In the cotton sector, confidence retracted from last quarterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high, with the vast majority of cotton producers (78 per cent) expecting similar conditions to the last 12 months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While farmers are reporting record cotton yields this season, a sustained lift in confidence across the cotton sector will remain dependant on water storage levels, with inflows reliant on a wet winter,â&#x20AC;? Mr Mulder said.

In the dairy sector, NSW producers were relatively neutral in their outlook, which remained overshadowed by the downturn in global dairy markets.

Commodity prices remained the key driver of confidence in those farmers with a positive outlook â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with 69 per cent of those expecting conditions to improve citing markets as the reason for their optimism (down from 82 per cent in the previous survey).

Seasonal conditions were the biggest influence on those

with a bearish view of the 12 months ahead, with 71 per cent of respondents citing dry conditions as the reason for their more subdued outlook (up from 34 per cent).

However, some farmers were more optimistic about the outlook for the season, with 44 per cent of those NSW farmers with a positive outlook crediting seasonal conditions as reason for their view (up from 39 per cent).

NSW farmers had lowered their income expectations for the year ahead. The percentage of respondents expecting higher gross farm incomes over the coming 12 months declined to 34 per cent (from 45 per cent), although the majority (44 per cent) still expected similar gross incomes. The proportion expecting lower incomes stood at 20 per cent, up from 11 per cent.

Mr Mulder said, despite the lowered confidence in the wider agricultural economy and farm business performance, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmers still had healthy investment intentions, pointing to underlying longer-term confidence in the sector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the coming 12 months, 26 per cent of New South Wales respondents have indicated they are looking to increase their investment in the sector (compared with 31 per cent in the previous survey), while a further 64 per cent are looking to maintain it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Of those intending to increase investment, Mr Mulder said on-farm infrastructure such as fences, yards and silos was top of the agenda. Increased stocking numbers, new

plant/machinery and property purchase were also highlighted as priorities.

This quarter, farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; longer-term expansionary plans were also surveyed, with one out of five NSW producers looking to purchase additional property over the coming five years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in line with the national average of 22 per cent.

Mr Mulder said competition in the rural property market had increased markedly and was being reflected in a jump in property values â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the vicinity of 20 per cent in some areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are seeing strong activity at auctions as more people have the capacity to expand,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However this heightened competition in the market has also been reflected in the survey, with farmers nominating lack of properties for sale, high property prices and competition at auction as the three factors that may hinder their ability to expand.â&#x20AC;?

A comprehensive monitor of outlook and sentiment in Australian rural industries, the Rabobank Rural Confidence Survey questions an average of 1000 primary producers across a wide range of commodities and geographical areas throughout Australia on a quarterly basis.

The most robust study of its type in Australia, the Rabobank Rural Confidence Survey has been conducted since 2000 by an independent research organisation. The next results are scheduled for release in September 2016.

Community award for Ray Barron Long time member of the Rural Fire service on the Monaro, Ray Barron, was one of several locals who received a community award at a ceremony at the Cooma Ex-Services Club last week.

The awards were presented by the Member for Monaro, John Barilaro and Bronnie Taylor, MLC. His award waa for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Outstanding service to the RFS, Ray is a highly regarded and valued volunteer clocking up almost 60 years of serviceâ&#x20AC;?.

Heavy lambs sell to $136, lambs to $140 As the dry autumn weather prolongs, producers continue to destock and sell lambs earlier plus good restocker lines of sheep and mutton.

In a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;red hotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market, buyers bid strongly to secure their numbers, pushing prices up by $5 to $10 a head and more in places showing that the saleyard system, when supported with numbers and quality, is still the number one option when selling your livestock.

Fiona on Cooma Landmark team Black Spot Program Landmark would like to welcome Fiona Corby who has recently joined us as the Insurance Account Manager dedicated to servicing the Monaro and Snowy Mountains region.

As part of Landmark’s ongoing commitment to provide increased service at a local level, we can now offer a wide range of flexible cover options through our close working relationships with specialty rural insurers and agencies as an Authorised Representative of NAS Insurance Brokers.

Early in her career, Fiona worked for both insurance companies and brokers in the commercial, heavy transport and machinery field and later with financial institutions offering domestic insurance services.

More recently, together with her husband Steve, they have operated a respected local business in Cooma which they recently sold to a new generation of local tradespeople.

Following a well-earned “Long Service Leave” break, Fiona was delighted with the opportunity

to return to the insurance industry whilst utilising her knowledge of local people, markets and business.

Supported by 150 years of experience and the skills of 2,000 professionals within the Landmark network, Fiona can assist to help customers get the right cover.

Based in the Cooma branch, Fiona also works from the Bombala branch at least once a week and Delegate at least fortnightly.

Fiona is also available by appointment at any time for an on-site risk assessment.

To take advantage of this new local service from Landmark, contact Fiona to book a free risk assessment prior to renewal of your next insurance policy.

Bookings can be made direct by telephone on 6452 6565, email fiona.corby@landmark.com. au or through any of your local Landmark branch staff.

Landmark Cooma can also now be found on Facebook.

funding ‘positive’ - NFF The government’s commitment of a further $60 million to the Mobile Black Spot Programme by the Coalition is positive news for areas of rural and regional Australian which have languished for years without adequate coverage.

Mobile phone connectivity is a priority issue of the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) and additional investment in the Mobile Black Spot Programme is one of the organisation’s key election asks in 2016.

NFF President, Brent Finlay, said while today’s announcement from Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, and Minister for Regional Communications, Fiona Nash, was extremely positive the NFF would continue to campaign for a commitment from both sides of politics to fund the Programme on an ongoing basis.

“A reliable mobile phone service is absolutely critical to business success, education and personal safety in our rural and regional communities and for far too long these

areas have not had connectivity that is in any way acceptable,” Mr Finlay said.

“We wholeheartedly welcome this $60 million commitment from the Coalition but must also reiterate that ongoing funding is required to provide telecommunications infrastructure coinvestors with certainty.

“This would also demonstrate to regional Australians the Coalition is serious about comprehensively addressing this important issue in the long-term.

“Mobile access to internet and voice services is a basic expectation of most Australians, including those living in regional areas.”

The first two rounds of the Mobile Black Spot Programme resulted in 499 new mobile base stations which have delivered 68,600 square kilometres of new coverage.

Today’s announcement would bring total investment in eliminating black spots to $220 million if the Coalition is elected on July 2.

Mr Finlay said

investment must continue to ensure agriculture and regional communities can thrive and fully capture the value of the opportunities being driven by unprecedented demand for Australian agricultural products.

“Like any business owner, farmers need to be informed, accessible and responsive to effectively manage their business,” he said.

“As they typically spend the majority of their time in the paddock, the ability to do business over the phone and web while on-the-go saves valuable time and contributes directly to improved production and their bottom line.

“For Australia to continue to be the world leader in agricultural innovation, basic mobile coverage is not a luxury but a necessity.”

Market Comment: This week’s wool market remained firm with some minor movements pushing the Northern Region indicator 5 cents higher to 1327 Despite a low volume offering and the low exchange rate, Wednesday market remained quite flat. The better types remained the focus while the lower spec types were patchy, particularly in the finer microns where there were larger quantities.

Thursday opened up on a more positive footing and continued to improve over the day. More consistent results were evident and discounting was c/kg cln

21 Mic AU

reduced, and the final hour resulted in strong completion.

Week-on-week results for Merino Fleece ranged between unchanged and 10 cents higher with the mid-microns enjoying the strongest competition. The smallest offering of Merino Skirtings for the season had them closing the week 10 to 20 cents higher, with a noticeable reduction in the discounts for shorter/faultier lots on Thursday. A limited offering of Crossbreds added to their recent gains, giving them a 10 to 20 cents boost for the week.

The CCFC Southern Cats faced ANU at Snowy Oval, with a number of key players returning to the starting line this week.

The first quarter started with ANU scoring first quickly out of the middle and taking control of the game, kicking four majors in the first half of the quarter.

Again for the second week running, the Cats have taken half a quarter of football to work their way into the game kicking two majors in reply to ANU’s five for the quarter, but the Cats fought back strongly with a total of six shots at goal to ANU’s seven shots.

First quarter score - Cats 2.4-16, ANU 5.2-32 The second quarter saw the Cats score first, then the tough battle started with both sides matching each other with strong physical strength around the ground with big hits from Matt Braint and Troy Edwards which where fair and within the spirit of a tough game.

In one contest an ANU player came out to try and match the strong hits from the Cats players in the tackles and bumps, but sadly in this case was a little reckless with a front on bump as midfielder Troy Edwards had his head over the ball, leaving one of the Cats key midfielders no longer taking part in the game until the last quarter.

Both sides were taking injuries from the physical

Half time scores -Cats 3.6-24, ANU 7.4-46 The third quarter started with the Cats taking control of the game and they outscored ANU four goals to one.

The Cats showed what the coaches already know is how strong this playing group can be when they switch on having a total of eight scoring shots to ANU’s two for the quarter.

Three quarter time scores - Cats 7.10-52, ANU 8.5-53 The final quarter saw ANU score first to push the lead out, with the Cats fighting back and scoring to bring the score back within two points.

As the quarter went on one of ANU’s tall forwards played as a spare in the backline cutting the Cats attacks into the forward line off time and time again.

The Cats dominated the quarter with the use of the ball up to the half forward line, and it wasn’t until there was three minutes left in the quarter that ANU scored two quick goals from turn overs to the ANU spare player.

Once more the Cats had one shot on goal less than ANU. Final score - Cats 8.13-61, ANU 11.7-73

Cooma District Junior Rugby League Colts Round Five match

Full On Constructions and Rhythm Snow Sports Under 6’s The Rhythm Snow sports, Full On Constructions Under sixers were in great form again this week, defeating Belconnen Sharks 28-8. Toby McKenzie crossed over for two tries while William Bryan, Junior Morgan, Hunter Hart, Phillip Jefferies, and Ethan Brazulaitis all crossed for a try each. Harrison Tatton ran 3/4 of the field stepping and weaving through the defence, only to have his try disallowed/ stolen as he put the ball down just short of the imaginary try line. The boys all played a great game and are working well together as a team. From the opening minute to the final siren the defence was great with only a couple of missed tackles resulting in Belconnen Sharks tries. Nicholas Burchall and Benjamin Fox are always developing in defence and continue to impress each week. Our attack was also very good, they were all finding the gaps and making the most of every opportunity with the ball. Medal winner this week is Junior Morgan and the McDonalds award goes to Hunter Hart.

Another great game guys. Keep up the good work.

South East Embroidery Under 7’s Round 5 saw the Cooma Colts up against West Belconnen Warriors at Belconnen. It didn’t take long for the Colts to find their feet with solid runs from Jesse Hurford, seeing him cross over the line for the Colt’s first try of the game.

Riley Williams showed his speed and it didn’t take him long to score the second try for the Colts. Mitchell Fletcher, and Harper Woolf showed how far they have come with strong defence in a defensive line that was unbreakable for the first 2 thirds. Jermaine Bartlett and Riley Williams had a great game and opened the second third with strong runs and as a result scored a try each for the Colts. Belconnen threw everything they could at the Colts but great defence from Tyler Lee, Keeley-May Usher Rodahl, Aiden Dixon and Kurik Nelson held strong and did not let them in. Nate Stokes had a great game in both attack and defence and crossed over the line in the last third to score for the Colts. The Warriors scored their one and only try of the game, but Riley Williams hit straight back and bagged himself a hat trick to dominate the game.

The Final score was 24-4 to the Cooma Colts.

The Medal this week went to Jermaine Bartlett and the award went to Harper Woolf.

Try scorers were: Jesse Hurford (1), Jermaine Bartlett (1) Nate Stokes (1) and Riley Williams (3) Snowy River Painting Under 8’s – White The Cooma Colts travelled to Queanbeyan on Sunday to take on the Queanbeyan Kangaroos for round 5 of the season. The Colts got off to a good start with great attacking runs from Cooper Lee, Bailey Benn and Lachlan Burchall, which saw Othon Morgan and Riley McKenzie cross for a try each and put the Colts out as the early leaders. The Kangaroos threw their best at the Colts and managed to claw their way back into the game with 2 tries of their own from quick dummy half runs on the Colts try line. The Colts hit back with another try to Othon Morgan, but the solid defence from Jackson Cook and Lachlan Bryan couldn’t hold out another set from the Roos on the Colts line with the Roos crossing for their third. The Colts defence finally returned to its best with a solid effort from all, which shut down any further attempt from the Roos. The Colts ran away with the game with a try to Kyte Lee and another to Riley McKenzie to seal the deal for the Colts with the last try of the game. The Colts went out winners over the Kangaroos 30 points to 12 with tries to Othon Morgan (2), Riley McKenzie (2) and Kyte Lee. Conversions to Cooper Lee, Lachlan Burchall, Riley McKenzie, Lachlan Bryan and Kyte Lee. The medal went to Lachlan Bryan and the Maccas award went to Kyte Lee. Monaro Constructions Under 8’s – Black Round five saw the Cooma Colts under eights Black playing Queanbeyan United under eights White. Travelling to Wright Park in Queanbeyan, saw a very cold day for the boys to tough it out and play on. The Queanbeyan team was far too strong for our team on the day. Being a team of only six players at the moment we must thank the other under eights team, the Cooma Colts White, in being able to loan us their players so we can make up a team to get out there on the paddock each week. This week we had Cooper Lee and Kyte Lee who travelled down early, before their own game, to play with our side. On a very cold day our players of Colby Douch, Laith Podger, Rhylee Rosenbaum -Robinson, Manson Sandeberg, and James Burke kept trying all game.

Blaze Podger was quick with the ball in hand and chased

his opponents all day, and this earnt him the players medal for this week. Well done to the boys on their fifth game, with each game we can see improvements right across the park in how they play the game and a big thank you to the Cooma Colts Under Eights Black team sponsors Monaro Constructions.

Monaro Panel Beaters Under 9’s Having an early start and leaving a brisk sunny Cooma, the Under 9’s Monaro Panel Beaters headed down to a cold foggy morning in Queanbeyan. It seemed to dampen their spirits as the Under 9’s Monaro Panel Beaters didn’t have any defence to start with, letting the Queanbeyan Blue’s run over for three quick consecutive tries. With the determination and vibrancy they show every week at training, the team need to remember to bring it on game day and they can show their skills we know they all have. Not letting the game run away and slowly getting in to a rhythm, Wyatt Hurford, Natasha Kelly and Jayden Hart started opening up the Queanbeyan Blues with some great runs and showed some encouraging signs. Ben Smith playing his second game of football made some great runs and with the spunk of Lachlan Sky, Jett Kelly and Hunter Caldwell going over for a try each, it brought the Cooma Monaro Panel Beaters back in to the game. Despite a late try from Tyrell Bartlett and a sneaky scoot try from Connor Nelson the team lost 30 to 26. Leading the teams tackle count Dempsey Woolf muscled up to the Queanbeyan Blues. Helping Dempsey in defence was a defiant Archie Blyton and not far behind was Rylee Holland displaying some great involvement. We will be playing at home next week and let’s hope the team will be back on track for a win.

Sportspower Cooma Colts Under 10’s – 28 vs Goulburn - 6 The Cooma Sportspower U10’s had another long drive this weekend to take on the Goulburn Stockmen in Goulburn.

The side was captained this week by Lucas Umback who led by example playing his best game of the season, making some great tackles and having some strong runs through the middle earning himself the player of the week award. Not to be outdone and following close behind was Jack Roberson who made great yards all day and defended strongly throughout the game. Starting off the scoring for the colts was speedster Mitch Reid who is going strength to strength each week pulling off some solid hits and using great skill scoring again for the colts and also converting a try. Lee Morgan had his usual strong game also scoring for the team making great tackles and big yards out of dummy half. Hugh Waldren made some big hits throughout the game putting his body on the line in defence as did Josh Williams who trucked up the ball all day giving the stockmen defence some real problems. Rhys Cleverly threatened to break the line on plenty of occasions and gained great field position through his kicking game. The three amigos Zane Usher Rodahl, Judah Fai Filiga and Charlie Fleming stuck it to the Goulburn boys running strongly and getting up in the oppositions face when defending with Charlie crossing the line twice. Clayton Clark put in a good effort defending well on the fringe and getting the team talking in defence. Tommy Rudd was solid again in both attack and defence and was very unlucky not to score on many occasions. He also converted a try. Cam Filtness and Jacob Smith directed the boys around the park with Cameron scoring by throwing some dummy passes that would have fooled a 1st grader and Jacob was very unlucky not to score darting out from dummy half. Both boys defended well all game. Tyler Walden made some great runs up the middle and made a good effort in defence when he came on. It was a great effort from all the team and they earned themselves a good win with the final score 28-6.

Player of the week was Lucas Umback, Hitman award was Josh Williams. Tries Charlie Fleming, Mitch Reid, Lee Morgan, Cam Filtness. Kicks Mitch Reid and Cam Filtness Highland Ground Spreading under 11’s – BYE Mainstreet Under 12’s The Main Street Under 12s travelled to Melba to take on the Belconnen Sharks. With a much improved team effort in defence they were unlucky to go down 34 - 12. Jack scored the first try of the game out wide by barrelling through the Sharks and he was unlucky to miss the conversion. Our defence was great as we held a much bigger forward pack off our try line for consecutive sets with great tacking from Kayla, Lachlan, James, Jack and Tirone taking us to half time at 16-4. A very welcome return to Alex who took the field for

the second half making an impact immediately with some big defence, a great kick chase, and scoring a try. Cody played out of position this week and had a solid game playing Mr Fix it. Some great runs from Barrett and Doron from dummy half linking up with Shawn, Aron and Adam out wide who all made valuable meters. Conor and Jacob are getting more confident each week and getting their hands on the ball more and more. James busted through the line leaving the defence in his wake and ran the full length of the field to score a great try under the posts. Player of the week was Doron. 3 points to James, 2 points to Kayla and 1 point to Alex.

Franks Butchery Under 13’s The Cooma Colts U13s travelled to Crookwell this weekend to play the Green Devils in very cool conditions. It was a game of two halves with Cooma scoring in the first minutes of the game through Jake Galvin, and went on to lead 18-4 at halftime. The Colts made easy metres up the middle with strong running from Remi Braddemanne, James Dyball and the ever reliable Ty McKenzie. Jesse Eljuga provided great service out of dummy half and combined well with Brock Halls.

The second half saw a different Crookwell side play with the wind and a downhill run to their favour. The Colts didn’t help their cause with dropped balls, unnecessary penalties and a lack of urgency in defence.

The game went down to the last minute with the Colts bravely defending to go home with a 22-18 win. Try scorers for the game were James Dyball 2 tries, Jake Galvin, Jesse Eljuga and Remi Braddemanne one try each and Remi kicked 1 goal.

The weekly points were awarded to Jake Galvin 3 points for another busy game, Brock Halls 2 points for his great direction at halfback and front rower Ty McKenzie received 1 point for his tireless effort in the middle. The weekly medal went to Jesse Eljuga for a great all round game.

Thanks to the parent who travelled with the boys to the game, and our manager, league safe and first aid people on the day. This week we play Yass at home and looking for another good performance.

Mc Donald’s Cooma Under 15’s Cooma travelled to Northbourne Oval on Sunday to take on the South Tuggeranong Knights hoping to carry their good form through. It was a dream start for Cooma after Remy Oldrey made a break up field and a James Hayden kick forced a mistake to have Cooma attacking the line early.

This allowed Archie Allen to crash over next to the posts.

Cooma then flexed their muscle in the next 15mins putting the Knights to the sword. The engine room trio of Nick Coote, Sean Dixon and Damon Fanning all led from the front and kept Cooma on top. A nice backline play put Keegan Caldwell in space and from there, no one was catching him.

Bailey Rogers converted to put Cooma up 10-0. Cooma then upped the anti in defence to rattle the Knights and force a mistake. James Hayden saw an opportunity to take the line on where he crashed over and the conversion from Bailey took the score out to 16-0. Strong carries from off the kick offs put Cooma in a great attacking position and some sleight of hand from Bailey to Keegan put him over under the posts for his 2nd try. It was deja vu as Keegan scored his 3rd for the day from a nice backline play. Kobe Watts and Will Dean continued the charge before half time with some huge meters coming out from our own end. Right on Half time, James threw a nice cut out ball to Bailey where he went over untouched. A near perfect first half had Cooma up 32-0.

The second half wasn’t going to be as easy and some dropped ball allowed the Knights their first crack, although strong defence from Nick Zusak, Tyler Rees and Archie Allen thwarted any chance the Knights had. Darnell was next to score, brushing off 3 defenders to score under the posts after back to back penalties helped Cooma up the field. Levi Bullock went close to scoring after some great lead up work from Cassidy Taylor who came at the Knights all day. Cooma found themselves attacking the Knights line again where Tyler Rees joined in bagging a try for himself which Remy had no trouble converting. Dropped ball started to creep in allowing the Knights back into the contest where they crossed in the corner for their first and only try of the day. Jacob Umback had a chance to cap a great game off, only having himself to blame as he fell centimetres short of what would have been a great team try. Final score ended up 42-4 in an all-round great performance. Player of the day went to Nick Coote.

Bombala Junior football Under 7’s Under7s being the youngest of the Blue Heeler Squad were the first to take on the cold morning but showed no fear in the not so warm 3 degrees. In fact the cold weather proved to be great motivation for the under 7’s who played another great game against Tathra! The under 7s played like they’ve never played before.

They were saying that they just wanted to keep running to keep warm and that’s just what they managed to do! As the season moves on this strong group of under 7s boys are really coming together as a team and it shows! Each week it becomes harder to pick a boy for the Milo Man of the Match because as they all play so well it’s impossible to find a stand out. However after much thought and discussion! Congratulations to Connor Reed who was this weeks Under 7s Milo Man of The Match!! Louise Wright Coach

the season this on Saturday. Like all the teams maybe it was the motivation of keeping warm by running but whatever it was it worked. The team had strong defence from Zanye Phillips-Jones and Beau and Colby Brownlie. The Under 12’s forwards all made plenty of metres up through the middle of the field led by Will Garnock and Max Smith which was a huge contribution to the overall result. The team welcomed in Jack Ventry for his first game of the season and Jack held up his end of the deal delivering an excellent game with some strong runs. Jack Stevenson really stepped up this week scoring a sensational individual try running 50m to score near the posts. Jayden Clear made it pay when he was successful with the conversion. Unbelievable under 12s huge improvement. This week’s point were awarded as 3 points Jayden Clear 2 Jack Ventry and 1 Will Garnock. It was a much improved U12’s this week.

Under 8’s Coach Damien Smith Not unlike the under 7s the under 8s stood strong against the cold conditions and it did not Under 14’s dampen the teams spirits as they all put in 100 Victory again to the U 14 boys at home on a percent to record their first victory of the season.

Once again the girls stood up with Ruby Smith, very chilli afternoon. With the support of the local Gracie Brownlie, Zara Brotherton and Tanner spectators and first grade role models, our boys Hurley working tirelessly in attack and defence played an outstanding match. Their line defence all game. Freddy Merrit also put a big game in was solid, they showed confidence in their ability with the most hit ups, close behind him Ari Sten, to spread the ball to the outside backs, their who was involved in the action all game and communication did not waiver and their support was unlucky not to get a couple of tries. When play was relentless. Needless to say boys, you it comes to finding the try line, it comes as no have set the benchmark!! Each and every boy surprise that Josh Tellis scored 4 great tries with played well, but I’d like to make special mention his great foot work and speed. Liam Strickland to a few who have really stepped up and taken also put his hand up for some great hit ups, on the advice given. Blake Brownlie and Connor getting more involved each game. The milo Sten had outstanding defensive games, as did man of the match went to Jake Brownlie, over Jasper Bruce and Baidon Sten. While, Rowan the last few weeks this boy has always put his Keavey made himself available in attack at every hand up and made some big metres and huge opportunity and Russell Jamieson is showing hits. Jake was rewarded with a try for his efforts improvement each week. Both Coby Robinson this game. Congratulations guys and gals and and Jack Cuzner managed to get over the line, it was good to see all your hard work has paid but unfortunately their tries were disallowed. off celebrating the first victory of the season.....

SENIORS Round nine of the South Coast Monaro division had a match scheduled between Jindabyne and Broulee, and most of the Jindbyne Bushpigs travelled down the night before to be ready for the game.

Unfortunately five minutes prior to kick off, Broulee advised they could only field nine players, therefore, the match resulted in a forfeit win to Jindabyne.

This was extremely disappointing as Jindabyne had 21 players travel to Broulee.

This Saturday sees Jindabyne play Milton at home on our Club Charity Day, raising awareness and funds for the Black Dog Institute.

Wednesday June 1, 2016

Mixed and minor pairs champions decided The much anticipated match between the men and the ladies pennant side last Saturday was marred by the extreme cold which did not encourage a lot of players as was hoped.

However the 24 who turned up voted the day a success. Perhaps the men can do a little better in Pennants next year and the Ladies give them some practice.

Tracey Sanders, Dawn Russell, Ev Hamilton and Olga Jebbink trailed Ron Wainwright, Mick Mayhew, Tony Gray and Paul Cannell for most of the first half but hit the front 11/9 on 14, but only scored on two more ends for Ron, Mick, Tony and Paul to win 19/15.

Judy Locker, Lestelle Lodge, Sherry Seears and Renate Winckel spent six of the first seven ends on two shots against Ken Rees, Max Butler, Geoff Venables

and Richard Nichols before recovering a little to trail 9/13 on 11.

Seven ends later they were still on nine but recovered once more to go down 20/25, scoring six shots on the 22nd end of a 21 end match. (after all, it was only a fun day).

Mario Frezza, John Vincent, Steve Seears and Brian Seears took all the fun out of the day for Maureen D’Amico, Mary Obermaier, Leonie Snell and Margherita Zasso when they shot out to lead 13/2 on end 11.

The second half of the match was little better for the ladies , with the men going on to win 24/10.

In the final of the Mixed Pairs played last Wednesday, Cheryl Meillon and Brian Seears made a great start against Mary Murphy and Daniel Clough with five shots on the first

end.

Unfortunately for them they did not score again till end six. Helped by five shots on 11 Cheryl and Brian went to the front once more to lead 14/8. This stung Mary and Daniel into action with five shots on 12 and then allowed Cheryl and Brian to score only once more with Mary and Daniel victorious 26/16 and champions for 2016.

The cold windy weather has been playing havoc with Wednesday Social Bowls lately with only 13 starters last Wednesday.

Judy Locker and Geoff Venables went to 10 shots against Renate Winckel and Mick Mayhew and then stayed on that score till Renate and Mick levelled at 10/10 on 10. From that point Judy and Geoff ran away with the game to win 29/18. Allan Crowe and Paul Cannell had a

slight 10/7 advantage over Max Butler and Mario Frezza. Max and Mario levelled at 10/10 on 16 but were kept on that score for six ends and went down 18/22, despite scoring eight shots over the last two ends.

Peter Harris played swinging lead for Mary Boller and Ron Wainwright and for Mary Phillips and Ron Gammon. This was an even encounter for eight ends when Peter, Mary Boller and Ron scored a six and were never headed in the run home to win 20/9.

Much improved weather for Sunday but only eight for social bowls, the rest were watching the final of the Minor Pairs.

Renate Winckel and Steve Seears were right on the spot against Dale Collins and Bob Lahy to lead 19/3 after 13 ends. Renate and Steve

continued to dominate for the remaining ends to run out winners 30/13.

Sandi Litchfield and Mark Buckley had a close match with Brian Searle and Geoff Venables for 10 ends but then fell by the wayside for Brian and Geoff to win the match 20/14.

In the Minor Pairs final Robbie Roberson and Mick Mayhew went almost shot for shot with Allan Crowe and John Schoon for 10 ends with the score locked up at 8/8. Robbie and Mick scored a three to lead 11/8 on the next end but then were unable to score again for six ends giving Allan and John an 18/11 lead and it seemed all over. Robbie and Mick had other ideas and brought the score to 16/18 down, with an end to play.

Robbie and Mick held shot a couple of times but eventually every time a bowl was moved

it seemed to belong to them with Allan and John getting five shots on the last end to win the Minor Pairs for this year 23/16.

The onlookers were treated to a great match and showed their appreciation with much applause at the conclusion.

Entries for the Minor Singles close next Sunday 5th and there is still room for many more players to enter. It should

also be noted that there is an entry sheet for the handicap pairs. This is an individual entry event with the players being paired by the Bowls Committee. It is an event for every one to participate and on some occasions will throw up some unusual results and is lots of fun.

Wednesday players are reminded that the first round of play in the Bill Elder Shield will be next Wednesday June 8.

Stallions hard-fought draw with Narooma Cooma travelled to Narooma on Sunday to take on the Devils in the first game of the second round.

Cooma were looking to continue their form they showed against Moruya the previous week and started strongly.

The stallions had their best first half of football this season showing great structure and good go forward through the forward pack.

They were rewarded in the third minute when Brandy Williams crossed over out wide off a Kyle High pass.

Conversion unsuccessful from Astin Nunan.

The next 15 minutes saw both teams play some fast, skillful football and Cooma threatened Narooma’s left hand defence through strong runs from Corey Thomas and Tim Knight. This resulted in a try to Thomas in the 19th minute, which was converted by Nunan from the side line.

Narooma were quick to hit back after some quick play the balls, resulting in a try which was left unconverted.

After more raids down Cooma’s left edge they were once again rewarded with a try to Timmy Knight in the 28th minute followed up by another successful conversion.

The end of the first half saw Cooma dominate and cross once more before half time through Dean Blyton out wide.

Conversion successful.

Cooma went into half time leading 22-4.

Coach Todd Williams was happy with his team’s first half performance, especially their high completion rate.

He urged his team to continue to complete sets and apply pressure.

The second half saw Narooma come out with a lot more energy and they were more committed, which resulted in a try in the 44th minute.

Through the remainder of the second half, ill-discipline, poor completion rates and falling away from their structure saw Cooma let Narooma fight their way back into the game with three more tries. They were unable to convert their last try, resulting in a 22 all draw.

Coach Williams commended the efforts shown by Jessie Piker and Jason Miliken in backing up from a tough game in reserve grade. Dave Sommerville also performed outstanding for his first game of first grade at full back.

Points this week go to Dave Sommerville with 3 and players’ player, Brandy Williams with 2 and Kyle High with 1. This week sees The Stallions take on the Merimbula/ Pambula Bulldogs in a must win game in Pambula.

Reserve Grade The Stallions reserve side travelled to Narooma on Sunday to take on the third place Red Devils side, this was another vital match which if successful would have the Stallions move back into the top four.

The stallions started off with good structure and were rewarded with a try under the posts to have them in front 6 nil and playing with good control.

Unfortunately they switched off in their defensive structure and the super quick Narooma players took full advantage of these lapses to post five unanswered tries leaving them with a match winning lead of 30 points to 6 at half time.

Some soul searching saw the Stallions regain some form and they won the second half with some pride and determination on show.

If this side can compete for the entire match they can match it easily with the top sides, however they are now seeing them in the unenviable place of not being able to drop any more matches.

Cooma Fillies continue to Coaching weekend successful demonstrate commitment The Cooma Fillies lost game nine of the season, 66 to 4 against the defending premiers in the Narooma She-Devils.

After being down by 40 points at half time the ladies really dug deep and their improved teamwork, communication and commitment really paid dividends with a much improved display.

The improved defensive effort led to more opportunities in attack which led to a good individual try to Tammy Povey.

Well done and a big thankyou to the Stallions and supporters who all continue to offer support and or advice to the ladies, it is very much

appreciated.

In the Players Player voting for the Fillies, the never give up effort of Keyara Marshall saw her awarded the 3 points, the try scorer Tammy Povey received 2 points and Olivia Barron received 1 point.

Next Sunday the Fillies face a double header in Merimbula against the Pambula-Merimbula HotDoggies then the much anticipated rematch against the CandeloBemboka ladies. These matches appear to be very competitive on paper and it could be the Fillies’ chance to break their duck for the season.

Athletics at Snowy Mountains Christian School Snowy Mountains Christian School enjoyed blue sky weather for its whole school athletics carnival on Friday May 20.

Students aged 8 to 16 competed in both track and field events throughout the day. An amazing thirty four records were broken! With the primary high jump just completed on Thursday there may just be more!

Although the primary age champions and the winning house cannot be announced as yet the secondary age champions were as followsJunior Primary Girl – Charlotte Gibson Junior Primary Boy – Stephen Davis Senior Primary Girl – Evi Baxter Senior Primary Boy – Olo Brademann Junior Secondary Girl – Annabelle Forster Junior Secondary Boy – Nicolas Stibbard Senior Secondary Girl – Miruna Moruz Senior Secondary Boy – Kurt Wassink.

Cooma Field and Game had a successful Saturday and Sunday with the running of its first coaching weekend.

Twenty-two keen shooters ventured to the range to try and learn the finer points of shooting sporting clays. The weekend was run by Ken Jones, club member and very experienced coach with help from other senior members of the club.

The mornings of both days were not spent on the range but in the club house where participants learnt skills such as correct stance, gun hold, target acquisition and lead techniques. The afternoons filled with putting their new knowledge to practice with a variety of targets on offer.

The feedback was over whelming with people really benefiting from the knowledge and practice opportunities.

The event was supported by the Department of Sport and Recreation, and New South Wales Sporting Clays both lending financial assistance to

the program.

The Club has a busy program for the rest of the year but the general consensus is that we should have more training days.

The next shoot to be held on the 19th June is the Mid Winter Cup. A handicap event that usually sees a good turnout on the day.

A totally focused Cooma side came out in the second half and a more determined defensive effort frustrated the Marist team. Good tackling from Alex Miners and James Dyball kept turning Marist back. Jake Quodling and Jackson Dyball were busy, whilst Will Lehrmann is improving every game.

In only their third game of rugby the boys have shown a great commitment in learning new skills and putting them into practice.

It was a worrying start when the Vikings scored inside the first minute, playing on quickly from an infringement and catching our defence napping, but from the kickoff the reshuffled forward pack aimed up, soon gaining possession of the ball.

Some great pick and drive running on the edge of the ruck by Zane Squire, Matthew Kimble and Mitchell Burke was enhanced by the continual work at the rucks by Alex Gould.

The forwards were continually crossing the advantage line giving fly half Jack Buckley time and space to set the backs.

Wingers Azack Morgan and Cooper Hassell continued running hard and straight.

Tom Fletcher and Tyler Walden joined the line claiming the ball at the breakdown. Pressure applied, Jack scored two tries and centre Mason Turner crossed for three.

Hooker Jake Maddrell wouldn’t be outdone finding a way to cross the line.

The continual hard work created clean and quick ball for scrum half Flynn Palmer who made some good runs against a retreating defence and crossed for a try.

Balls were won by Dave Douglass (74), Tom Geach (74), Jeff Burgess (75), Kim Howard (75) and Tony Perry (75).

Nearest the pin on 9 went to David Goggin and Damian Walsh on 17.

Long Drives went to Cliff Richards (A Grade), Sean Smith (B Grade again) and jim Darley (C Grade).

Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saw a Medley Stableford with only 8 starters and once again people seemed to be scared off by the weather report only to miss a glorious autumn day, once the frost melted.

The winner was Gary Batten with 34 points (helped by 3 pointers on the last two holes) and balls went to Denis Minehan (32), Tony Monday (32) and Heikki Evans (32).

Nearest the pin for two on 18 went to Gary Batten (after Heikki Evans checked the distance his own shot was from the pin a number of times before reluctantly conceding Gary was closer).

Next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitions will be a Medley Stableford on Wednesday, the Monthly Medal on Saturday, from which the top eight players in each grade will qualify for the match play championship, and on Sunday the mixed Foursomes Championship will be played and a Stableford for those not playing in this.

A group of friends from the BombalaDelegate area had a memorable day out at Royal Randwick on Saturday when their horse Wonderbolt won the Highway Handicap, a Class 3 Plate over 1100 metres.

Trained at Canberra by Barbara Joseph and Paul Jones (Joseph & Jones Racing - JJR) , Wonderbolt was ridden quietly near the rear of the field by jockey Koby Jennings before making a sustained run in the final 200m to prevail by a ½ length margin over Star Shaft.

Wonderbolt was an astute purchase by the stable after the horse was offered at an Inglis sale when clients of its then Randwick based trainer, Anthony Cummings, decided they no longer wanted to race the horse. When the horse was purchased by JJR, one of the original owners, Brian Rutter, bought back into the horse and joined other owners Peter and Barbara Joseph, Paul Jones, Mike Walcott, Graeme Payten, Jenny Crawford, Graham and Joan Lundstrom, Colin and Adam Pate, Monaro Bloodstock/ Richard Logan, Paul and Peter Elliott, Peter Ingram, Darren Dent, Robert Hitchcock, Richard Maloney, Maree Guthrie-Curran and Matt Jones. The horse has only had several starts for the JJR team and its owners, the

previous start being over the strong Scone carnival. There were happy scenes in the mounting yard after the race and promises of free drinks for an hour for the regulars at Graeme Paytenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Delegate Hotel. Matt Jones quipped this would equate to about four schooners and a rum!

The Highway Handicap races are an initiative of Racing NSW wherein each Saturday a race is held at the Sydney metropolitan track and only horses legitimately trained in NSW country or the ACT are eligible to participate. With previous city race experience, but having had several starts for the JJR team, Wonderbolt was well placed in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race.

Otherwise, the Joseph and Jones stable, who had five winners for the month of May, are chasing the Brisbane racing carnival riches with their Wagga Town Plate winner Just a Blur.

Just a Blur finished fourth, beaten only 4.3 lengths, at Doomben on Saturday in a very fast run race but was noticeably the only runner gaining on the winner Ghisoni. Just a Blur could pay to follow when she races on Saturday fortnight as she enjoys the Queensland sunshine away from the Canberra frosts.

With the fulltime siren sounding, the fate of the game lay with Tuwameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conversion attempt from out wide.

The club would like to thank all the Bombala supporters and those that assisted the players on the day at Batemans Bay. Also the club thanks the major sponsor, Bombala RSL and to all the Jersey sponsors for their continued support of the Bombala players. It will be a home game next Sunday June 5 against Moruya and the club hopes that the Bombala community will come out and support the hard work of the football club.

Avoid the injury blues this winter As the days get shorter, colder and drearier, Sports Medicine Australia (SMA) is urging Australians to ignore the temptation to go into exercise hibernation this winter.

Sports Physiotherapist Rosemary Riley said wet and wintry conditions combined with heightened injury concerns often prevent Australians from being active during the long, cold months.

Sports injuries peak during the months of May, June and July, with sport related hospital admissions increasing by an estimated 30 per cent during winter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While exercising in cold conditions can lead to injuries and illnesses ranging from chilblains, muscle strains and ligament sprains to broken bones and hypothermia, many Australians are unaware that most

winter injuries can actually be prevented by good preparation and the correct equipment,â&#x20AC;? Ms Riley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although cold conditions can place extra demand on the body, with the right knowledge, preparation and attitude, you can be active and safe in winter and keep reaping those health benefits.â&#x20AC;?

SMAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top tips for preventing injury this winter: Check the forecast. How cold, windy and wet will it be? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to tailor your work-out attire to the forecast. Lightweight layers that breathe and can be easily stowed are ideal so you can add/remove clothing according to the conditions and your exercise level.

Remember that sunburn can occur

even on overcast days â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly on the ski slopes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; apply sunscreen and protect your eyes with UV protection goggles or sunglasses.

Protect your head and extremities from heat loss. Make sure you are equipped with beanies, gloves, well-fitting shoes and socks to limit excessive heat loss and prevent chilblains and frostbite. Ill-fitting footwear can also cause blisters, nerve and joint pain.

Those with a pre-existing condition affecting circulation such as Raynaudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or Diabetes should take particular care and should consult a health professional for further advice.

Warm up and cool down gradually and thoroughly. Avoid cooling down when stretching by alternating stretches with warm

up activities. Muscles, tendons and ligaments perform better and are less likely to injure when warm and elastic. Consult a Sports Physiotherapist for specific exercises to manage past injuries and special conditions.

Drink up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to hydrate adequately and resist the temptation to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;warm upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with an alcoholic beverage as alcohol impairs thermoregulation and coordination. Avoid caffeine as it can also lead to dehydration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many great ways to be active in winter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by following these tips your risk of injury and illness will be reduced â&#x20AC;&#x201C; leaving you no excuse but to get out there and get active,â&#x20AC;? Ms Riley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The benefits far outweigh the risks!â&#x20AC;?

Lady Tigers still top of ladder

This weekend the Lady Tigers division 2 soccer team took on Belnorth in a frosty early morning game.

It was a rough start when a misjudged ball gave Belnorth their first opportunity to score.

A Belnorth corner is where first points were scored when the ball deflected from a Tigers foot saw Belnorth gain possession and slam the ball into a crowded goal. (1-0) Determined not to let an easy goal ruin the game Cooma came back with strength pushing up and getting the ball to the wings and forwards. Hymne Truter and Miruna Moruz both took shots to even the score but they were taken well by the Belnorth keeper.

Cooma’s passing game was on point and a pass from Candice Geach to Hymne Truter allowed her the opportunity to shoot and score first points for Cooma 18 minutes in 1-1.

Only minutes later Miruna Moruz got her goal thanks to a great cross from Hymne Truter on the wing taking Cooma to 2-1 A little through ball and a quick forward gave Belnorth a chance for more points but it was saved perfectly by keeper Sam DeRuijter.

Wednesday June 1, 2016

Miruna Moruz scored her second goal with ease with 12 minutes remaining. When the keeper came out of goal to attack, Miruna kicked the ball and it bounced off the keepers shin giving Miruna an open goal 3-1.

A ball from Sarah Merefeild to Camilla McDonald gave Cooma a comfortable 4-1 lead when she booted the ball from the top of the box.

After half time Belnorth put on the pressure early and a few offside calls gave Belnorth majority of the possession in the opening 15 minutes but they remained scoreless. Two injuries in a matter of minutes to Belnorth slowed the game, which saw a drop in focus in the Tigers players allowing Belnoth to score once play had resumed 4-2.

Right on the 80 minute mark a cross from Miruna Moruz to the feet of Libby Goggin gave her a great opportunity to seal the deal, with a well-placed ball in the corner of the net 5-2.

Approaching half way in the season the Division 2 team still remain on top of the ladder with a brilliant 8-0 record.

We look forward to our next game against ADFA Vikings in Canberra.
